    <h4>Chapter 1: You Can Speak!?</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    It was a serene Saturday morning, and Zhao Yao was headed for sterilization... Sterilization of his cat.

    The cat in his arms was a yellow Li Hua, also known as a Dragon Li, a breed of Chinese domestic cats. Its furry head, back, and limbs were coated with yellow-orange patches.

    As for its chest and belly, they wererge areas of silky white fur. The tip of its four limbs was snowy white as well, and it was said that its glove-like white paws have a seductively charming effect on girls, it will interfere with their brainwaves and trigger cries of delight.

    This Li Hua might be a male, but with its huge eyes, it appeared sassy and feminine.

    At this moment, however, this Li Hua was shrieking its lungs out. Arge proportion of family cats prefer to stay at home, even if it was for all their lives. Moving or getting out of the house, to them, was an extraordinarily daunting or even terrifying task. Zhao Yao could only offer helpless words to try and calm the Li Hua.

    ...

    Meanwhile, outside the atmospheric level of the Earth, a shooting star whizzed past the sky, gradually flying towards the Chinese sky. Exuding a weird lighting, the shooting star seemed to be relentlessly sending beams of light at its surroundings.

    ...

    In Starry Starry Pet Hospital, Zhao Yao brought his cat to the reception, proiming, ¡°Sterilization of male cat, appointment booked under Mr. Zhao.¡±

    ¡°ording to the records, you haven¡¯t been here before. You¡¯ll have to fill in the particrs card.¡± The young nurse at the reception replied, handing Zhao Yao a card.

    Owner: Zhao Yao

    Name of Pet: Matcha

    Species: Pastoral Cat

    Age: 12 Months

    Contact details: 15XXXXXXXXX

    Uponpletion of the card, the nurse took the cat from its bag over for inspection, ¡°Ooooohhh!¡±

    ¡°What adorable paws you have!¡± Eximed the nurse while she prepared to weigh Matcha.

    ...

    Back above the atmosphere, the shooting star sped across the Chinese sky and towards the Pacific ocean. Wherever it passed by, cats all over jerked with great vitality, and their eyes gleamed with bright sparks,parable to that of the shooting star.

    ...

    At this instant, Matcha bolted, out of the blue, and out towards the door.

    The young nurse shrieked a little, and Zhao Yao chased after Matcha with plenty of agitation.

    Zhao Yao was unfortunately too slow, and was unable to reach Matcha¡¯s body; he could only grab its tail.

    With its tail caught, Matcha let out a whimper, and out of reflex, turned around and gave Zhao Yao a bite on his hand. Within a blink of an eye, a fresh wound appeared on Zhao Yao¡¯s hand and with the sudden pain, he could only loosen his grip on Matcha.

    Perhaps he knew he was in trouble, Matcha stopped his escape, curled up his body and looked at Zhao Yao with a certain unease.

    Zhao Yao held Matcha up, bellowing, ¡°Foolish cat, why did you bite me? Trying to rebel, eh?¡±

    Matcha¡¯s eyes glowed with a shimmer of light, the traces of blood on its teeth have disappearedpletely.

    Zhao Yao felt giddy momentarily and looked down to check on his wound. Stunningly, however, he saw no wound whatsoever on his hand, clear of any blood or bite mark.

    The nurse at the side took over Matcha, ¡°Good cat, everything will be okay, don¡¯t be nervous!¡± She then ced him on the surgery table to weigh him.

    ¡°MEOW!!!¡±

    This sound shrilled in Zhao Yao¡¯s ears. This sound, however, wasn¡¯t just a cat¡¯s meow. Somehow, it could be interpreted and understood conversationally.

    ¡°Don¡¯t cut off my testis, it¡¯ll hurt. Boohoo, meow.¡±

    Zhao Yao, stunned, focused his gaze on Matcha, and bewilderedly uttered, ¡°This... This.... This cat spoke!¡±

    ¡°Mr. Zhao, you¡¯re fine right?¡± The nurse asked out of concern and bewilderment.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear anything?¡± Panicky Zhao Yao replied, ¡°It... It¡¯s talking!¡±

    The nurse raised her eyebrows and shot Zhao Yao a skeptical look.

    ¡°You understand me? Meow~¡±

    ¡°Bring me home!¡±

    ¡°Boohooo, you scared me, and I have pissed my pants, meow.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s mouth fell wide open, looking at the responseless nurse, and back to Matcha, asking, ¡®You understand what I¡¯m saying?¡¯

    ¡°I understand, understand! I want to go home, bring me home, boohoo.¡±

    The nurse at the other side, in the presence of Zhao Yao talking to his cat, turned around and felt that Zhao Yao was awfully weird.

    Having got bitten by a cat and a wound which healed instantly, a talking cat who was pleading for his balls, a homesick cat, everything was unbelievably ridiculous, and Zhao Yao felt that he should go home immediately to figure all of this out.

    Disregarding the nurse¡¯s weird looks at him, Zhao Yao quickly grabbed Matcha, stuffed him back into the bag, and made a light sprint out of the pet hospital.

    ...

    Back in the rented apartment, Matcha was back to his familiar environment and was able to rx immediately. He lied down on the counter and started licking his snowy-white paws, eyes closed in enjoyment, and an expression full of ease. To a cat, licking its fur and grooming itself was an extremely appropriate method of rxation.

    Right in front of the counter was Zhao Yao, staring intently at Matcha, and tried to incite a response, ¡°Can you still talk? And what else?¡±

    Matcha looked up immediately, and his expression was one which was pure and sincere, and with his big eyes meowed, ¡°Of course, meow!¡± and stood up halfway, ¡°what do you want to y, boss?¡±

    ¡°Sigh, well... ying can wait.¡± Zhao Yao scratched his head, and confusedly muttered, ¡°When did you know how to talk?¡±

    Matcha thought for a moment and replied, ¡°It was today when I bit boss. All of a sudden I felt my brain be so much more awake. From then on, I couldmunicate with you boss, meow~.¡±

    Doubt was written over Zhao Yao¡¯s face when he looked at Matcha¡¯s sincerely innocent face.

    Matcha didn¡¯t seem to regard the situation the slightest bit strange, and jumped right into the arms of Zhao Yao, closed his eyes and lied on Zhao Yao¡¯s chest, ¡®y with me!¡¯

    Looking at the childlike talking Matcha, Zhao Yao scratched his head, and let off a joyful snicker.

    ¡°Come to think about it, you¡¯re only one year old, equivalent to a 5-year-old child.¡¯ Zhao Yao¡¯s lips curled into a slight smile, ¡®Still a child, which isn¡¯t so bad after all.¡±

    ...

    One monthter, 9 pm.

    Zhao Yao, full of lethargy, opened the doors of his apartment, conveniently took off his clothes and slumped onto his sofa.

    The rented t he was staying in might only be 30 square meters, but the renovation and furnishing wereplete as the previous owners were newlyweds. Also, it was very close to his workce, alleviating him from any transport woes regardless of work time. Although the rent was not cheap, it was, to Zhao Yao, worth every penny.

    Seeing Zhao Yao lying down, Matcha climbed to his side and rubbed his head snugly against Zhao Yao¡¯s arms, a sight which was warm and intimate.

    Zhao Yao smiled and stroked Matcha¡¯s head, with thetter expressing an ted expression all over his face.

    At this moment, the phone on the sofa was pushed over by Matcha.

 Chapter 2: Transformation

    <h4>Chapter 2: Transformation</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Matcha saw the webpage on Zhao Yao¡¯s handphone. Zhao Yao was browsing through TaoBao for cat food.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, could you get me a different brand of cat food? I¡¯m sick of local brand, Crowns,¡± Matchained while looking at Zhao Yao excitedly.

    Zhao Yao realized that one bag of imported cat food could easily cost up to six hundred or seven hundred RMB. He immediately remarked, ¡°So expensive? No, no, it¡¯s too expensive.¡±

    Upon Zhao Yao¡¯s rejection, Matcha stared at him with his pair of adorable big eyes. Matcha pleaded with Zhao Yao, ¡°An article on the inte states that a cat¡¯s lifespan is dependent on the food it eats. If they do not eat well, they will be gued with illnesses when they are old and might even have blood in their urine. Also, I¡¯m so sick of eating the same food every day that I¡¯m on the verge of vomiting. Please buy me some imported cat food.¡±

    As he was speaking with his longing eyes, he started to rub himself against Zhao Yao¡¯s palm.

    Zhao Yao remained adamant and refused, ¡°It¡¯s too expensive, I cannot afford it. You will have to wait for my pay increment.¡±

    If he were to buy imported cat food and tidbits, it would cost more than ten dors a day. To Zhao Yao, it was extravagant.

    Upon the second rejection, Matcha immediately stopped what he was doing and red at Zhao Yao. He rolled his eyes at Zhao Yao, jumped on the sofa and returned to the bedroom.

    For the past month, Matcha¡¯s intelligence had increased exponentially, especially since he learned to use the inte. It was as if he had transformed from a sweet, innocent 5-year old into a rebellious teenager.

    Sensing Matcha¡¯s disdain, Zhao Yao whispered to himself, ¡°He is so snobbish...¡±

    After resting for a while, Zhao Yao returned to pack his bedroom. Because of Matcha, Zhao Yao had to clean the room every day to get rid of his fur which was all over the floor, and he also had to dispose of his feces.

    As he was cleaning Matcha¡¯s toilet, he spotted a speck of cat feces on the doorway.

    ¡°This cat!¡±

    While holding his breath, he used a few pieces of tissue as gloves and picked up the feces to dispose of them. He then disinfected the floor with detergent repeatedly.

    After that, he walked into his bedroom to see Matcha lying on his bed, using his old handphone.

    He walked forward to take a look and said, ¡°Mobile Legends again?¡±

    ¡°Hmm.¡±

    ¡°Why are there feces outside the toilet again? Do you know how difficult and troublesome it is to get rid of them!¡± Zhao Yao demanded angrily.

    ¡°I know. I will not do it again,¡± Matcha replied coolly, with his eyes glued to the screen.

    Sensing Matcha¡¯s nonchnt attitude towards him fueled Zhao Yao¡¯s anger.

    He eximed, ¡°How many weeks has it been? I have repeated so many times only to leave the toilet after you havepleted your business. You do not leave when you are in the midst of doing your business.¡±

    ¡°I know,¡± Matcha muttered as he continued ying with the handphone.

    Matcha thenmented, ¡°This is all because of your dirty toilet. I do not even have a ce to rest my feet. When are you going to buy me an automatic self-cleaning litter box, many cats on the inte are already using it.¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°This gimmick is not legitimate. It¡¯s not as environmentally friendly, and I cannot inspect your feces to check your health condition.¡±

    Matcha wagged his tail and said, ¡°It is probably because you are poor and not because it is environmentally friendly. It will only be environmentally friendly if you use my feces as fertilizer.¡±

    ¡°It is just like I am raising a kid; Matcha used to be so much more obedient.¡±

    Memories of the past month started to sh across Zhao Yao¡¯s mind. Zhao Yao cannot help but reminisce the times when Matcha was still cute and disciplined.

    Looking at the current Matcha who was addicted to Mobile Legends, Zhao Yao¡¯s face turned into a frown.

    As he craned his neck forward to look at the screen, he witnessed the character being yed by Matcha, Luban, getting destroyed by Sun Wu Kong.

    A barrage of scolding from his teammates came immediately.

    ¡°Luban, are you an idiot? You have been feeding since the start of the game.¡±

    ¡°Can the primary school kid stop feeding? Can you just go back to your homework?¡±

    ¡°Stupid Luban, please report Luban for feeding at the end of the game!¡±

    Seeing these words, Matcha started to wag his tails furiously as he began to refute everyone.

    ¡°They only managed to kill me because they were good. I am not feeding.¡±

    ¡°Stupid tank, do you even know what it means to defend our base?¡±

    Zhao Yao had already gotten used to this otherwise out-of-this-world scene.

    In just one month, he realized that Matcha could not only talk, but his knowledge of current affairs and his intelligence had skyrocketed.

    He even managed to recognize Chinese characters and learned their spelling on his own.

    Since he started using the inte and ying Mobile Legends, his personality had changed drastically.

    After a month of testing, Zhao Yao realized that other than Matcha, he was unable to talk to any other ordinary cats.

    Likewise, for Matcha, he could notmunicate with any humans other than Zhao Yao. To ordinary humans, Matcha¡¯s words were like any other cat¡¯s meows.

    Theirmunication was more like telepathy rather than verbalmunication. Even if they did not speak, they couldmunicate with each other within the radius of 10 meters by just thinking about it.

    Meanwhile, Matcha was still engaged in a heated debate with his teammates. Matcha had been addicted to the game since Zhao Yao gave him his old handphone.

    Games such as Mobile Legends were not paw-friendly, making Matcha extremely prone to mistakes. He lost nine games out of ten and only managed to win one because his teammates carried him for that game.

    When Zhao Yao took a nce at the screen, the score was already two to twelve, with Matcha¡¯s teamgging behind. Zhao Yao mourned for Matcha¡¯s teammates.

 Chapter 3: The Book and Ability

    <h4>Chapter 3: The Book and Ability</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao patted Matcha¡¯s head and took his phone, causing Matcha to meow hysterically.

    ¡°Alright, go to sleep now, you can y when you wake up.¡±

    ¡°No!¡± Matcha screamed, grabbing onto Zhao Yao¡¯s leg and cried, ¡°Let me finish this game, I beg of you, I was about to win.¡±

    Zhao Yao slowly pulled the cat away from his leg and said, ¡°no, you have been ying every day from morning to night, if you continue this your eyes are going to spoil.¡±

    ¡°Just thisst round! I beg of you, Zhao Yao!¡± Matcha looked at him with hisrge bright eyes and pitiful expression begging, ¡°if I get reported for going AFK again, I will be banned!¡±

    Seeing how adamant Matcha was, Zhao Yao gave in, ¡°Just this one game.¡±

    ¡°Long live!¡±

    As Matcha once again regained his focus on the game, Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and tucked into bed.

    Perhaps due to overworking, he fell asleep instantly.

    While Zhao Yao was still groggy from the sleep, he thought that the entire world had started to shake, and some furry thing was brushing across his face.

    When he was finally awake, he realized that it was an earthquake. The chandelier was swaying violently, and things were falling all over the ce.

    Pressing onto Zhao Yao¡¯s face with his paws, Matcha urged, ¡°Earthquake! Wake up! Zhao Yao!¡±

    Zhao Yao, still groggy from his sleep, stoned for a moment before grabbing Matcha and tried to rush out.

    At that moment, ¡°clinkkkk!¡± the ceiling lights shattered into pieces.

    The crystal lights in the bedroom were thendy¡¯s, weighing a full 10 pounds, and they flew towards Zhao Yao, putting him in a precarious position.

    Zhao Yao was too close to the falling lights, and he did not have enough time to react to it. It instantly appeared before Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes.

    At this crucial moment, Matcha¡¯s pupils constricted into the size of the tip of a needle.

    Zhao Yao could not believe what he saw, the falling lights stopped right in front of him, only a few centimeters away from hitting him.

    If Zhao Yao had looked around his surroundings, he would realize the phenomenon was not exclusive to the falling light. The shaking tables, dropping cups, the tremors and everything in this world had stopped. Only Matcha and Zhao Yao were able to move.

    Simultaneously, Zhao Yao¡¯s pupils dted, and he felt many waves of signals pulsating through his brain as if an invisible hand was squeezing them into his mind.

    With his lightning-quick reflexes, Zhao Yao managed to take a step back, and when he regained consciousness, the broken lights were already on the floor, shattered into pieces.

    ¡°Just...¡±

    ¡°What just happened?¡±

    Amidst the chaos, the apartment had stopped shaking and Zhao Yao and Matcha both stared nkly at the broken pieces.

    Soon after, Matcha grinned ¡°Zhao Yao, I have awakened my superpower.¡±

    ¡°I awakened my superpower!!¡±

    ¡°Hahahaha.¡± Matcha eximed, ¡°Am I a god?¡±

    Zhao Yao, still confused, sighed and looked at Matcha¡¯s excitement while trying to recall what exactly happened. In his mind, all sorts of signals and the unknown power he felt were mixed, and it transformed into a book.

    With their safety at the back of his head, Zhao Yao brought Matcha out of the apartment to check on the earthquake.

    Residents were gathered in an open area and chatters filled the air.

    ¡°Earthquake in Jiangmen city? It cannot be. Thest time it happened was a few decades ago. Just my luck.¡± Zhao Yao muttered while carrying Matcha on his shoulders and checking his phone for local news about the catastrophe.

    Suddenly, more tremors struck Jiangmen city, causing an unprecedented chaos. Luckily, there were no injuries or deaths.

    Instead of the tremors, Zhao Yao was more concerned about the whole situation with falling lights stopping in midair and the mysterious book in his head.

    ¡°Could it really be a superpower?¡±

    ¡°Of course it is.¡± Matcha grabbed onto Zhao Yao with his ws and eximed excitedly, ¡°I am a god!¡±

    Zhao Yao gave Matcha a doubtful look and thought, ¡°Firstly, we need to confirm whether this power is yours or mine, and just what kind of power it is.¡±

    In case of another earthquake, Zhao Yao and Matcha stayed in the area until the next morning and spent the time testing out the possibilities of their superpowers.

    Within a few hours of experimenting, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes were filled with excitement.

    Matcha stood upon Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulders, wagging his tail and proimed, ¡®Haha, I am invincible, I am invincible.¡¯

    ¡°Time freeze! It¡¯s time freeze.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s hands were shaking, and his legs almost gave way. The next moment, thoughts about time freezing and all mattering to a standstill pulsated through his mind. He activated his power again.

    The world and everything in it came to a stop, besides Zhao Yao and Matcha. Be it the clouds in the sky, trees and leaves onnd, people on the roads, the insects in the gardens, everything came to a standstill, only Zhao Yao and Matcha were not affected.

    Three secondster, everything returned to normal. Covering his face with his paws, Matchaughed, ¡°Hahahaha, hahahaha, Zhao Yao, we are invincible.¡±

    Three seconds- this was the time Zhao Yao and Matcha can freeze time for, and for every time the power stops, they had to rest three seconds before using it again.

    ¡°Freezing time for three seconds, cooldown time of three seconds- both Matcha and I can pull this off. It is a power we both share. If Matcha freezes time for three seconds, I also face a cooldown time of three seconds before I can use the power. Is this a power we have to share?¡± Zhao Yao, in deep thought, touched his chin and said, ¡°we have tried being a kilometer apart, but we both still can freeze time. Is there a way to train and increase the power? And what is being depleted from us when we use this power?¡±

    Although many questions lingered in his head, Zhao Yao was filled with excitement.

    ¡°Oh yes, what about the book?¡± Zhao Yao recalled, focusing on the image of the book in his mind.

 Chapter 4: Sudden Situation

    <h4>Chapter 4: Sudden Situation</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    The book¡¯s cover was pure ck and there was only four letters ¡®BOOK¡¯ written on it. Flipping through the first page, Zhao Yao saw a huge chunk of words on it:

    BOOK: Lv1(0/100)

    Pet(1/1):Matcha

    Grade:Lv1(0/10)

    Loyalty: 100

    Ability: Timefreeze, ability duration 3 seconds, cooldown time 3 seconds

    There was a small additional mark behind the grade and ability sections, and it was grey now. Zhao Yao was tempted to flip the page but felt an invisible force overwhelming him, rendering him powerless to flip, and he could only look at the headings which stated mission, evolution, and et cetera. However, he did not have the power to flip the book.

    Zhao Yao only grew more curious when he read through the synopsis of his BOOK, ¡°ording to Matcha and my testings, his ability is in fact exactly as what is stated in the book. Hence time freeze is this silly cat¡¯s ability, while my ability lies in the book? He is Lv1; my book is Lv1 as well?¡±

    Reminiscing the many messages in his brain, the process of his thoughts and feelingsbining to form this book, Zhao Yao suspected that this book was his actual ability, and time freeze should be Matcha¡¯s ability.

    After a sleepless night, Zhao Yao applied for one day¡¯s leave, got thendlord to fix the chandelier in the bedroom and decided to go to work the next day.

    The use of the ability had to be thought through carefully. The ability might give him countless benefits, but it could very likely incite suspicion and jealousy from bystanders, which was why he nned to live life the way it used to be and remain status quo.

    ...

    The next day, Matcha was lying on the sofa, stuffing one pawful of small fish into his mouth, and his huge eyes fully focused on the television. It was broadcasting the cartoon, Jojo¡¯s Bizarre Adventure.

    Seeing the characters in the cartoon disy their abilities, his pupils dted, ¡°Ohh~ There¡¯s actually such a method of use.¡±

    Upon speaking, the fish in his bowl ended up in his mouth at the next instant. Evidently, he used his ability to put the fish into his mouth within the three seconds when time froze.

    Zhao Yao walked out of his bedroom and saw that Matcha was lying on the sofa, and he said, ¡°You¡¯re eating too much, look at yourself now, getting fatter by the day! Be wary of fatty liver and high blood pressure.¡±

    Matcha rolled his eyes, ¡°Oh please, I¡¯m a Li Hua. I¡¯ll get fat even from drinking water.¡±

    Zhao Yao uncontrobly rolled his eyes too, ¡°If you get so fat that you cannot clean your waste after yourself in the future, don¡¯t hope that I¡¯ll clean up for you.¡±

    He might have said that, but Zhao Yao still could not stop himself from stroking Matcha¡¯s head, with thetter smiling from eye to eye and saying, ¡°use more force!¡±

    Zhao Yao, while stroking his cat, thought, ¡®time could freeze for 3 seconds, and if used appropriately, there are a lot of moneymaking opportunities. However, to get the least bacsh, nothing can be illegal, and the ability cannot be revealed to anyone...¡¯

    Zhao Yao already had some ideas, but he also understood that if the ability did not have significant side effects, and that it could constantly be used, there was no limit to his future.

    8.30am, Zhao Yao left his house on time and bought a bun from a small shophouse he passed by. He reached his office lobby after another 5 minutes of walking.

    The greatest benefit of his rented t was that it was so near to his office.

    Zhao Yao was a programmer by profession, and on his graduation year, his starting pay could be considered as average.

    He might not fret when ites to day-to-day food and survival. However, to flourish and buy a t and car in Jiangmen city, he had far from enough. That was also why the first thing that came to his mind when he discovered the time freeze ability was to earn lots of money and to buy a car and a house. To have a house that belonged to him in this globalized big city.

    Once he stepped into the office, he greeted his colleagues and went back to his desk.

    At this moment, something grabbed his attention in his line of sight.

    There was a beautiful woman with long wavy hair and huge, bright eyes which looked like shiny stars. Her glowing skin seemed liked egg whites, and her long slender legs attracted Zhao Yao¡¯s gaze.

    Zhao Yao knew this woman; she was the newest graduate of the Human Resources department, called Sonia. Apparently, she just graduated this year and came from a nearby university.

    Looking at her walk into the HR room, Zhao Yao began to imagine situations with her.

    Although he was not familiar with her, it was inevitable for him to notice such a beautiful woman. Zhao Yao¡¯s mood brightened by just staring at her.

    In reality, many of Zhao Yao¡¯s male colleagues seemed to have started going after Sonia.

    Even though Zhao Yao developed a liking for her, but the past year at work taught him that financial stability was the basis of love and marriage, which was why he never dared to attempt to have a rtionship.

    However, with the ability to freeze time, his heart thought otherwise.

    The next moment, he activated the ability. Time froze, and everything was at a standstill. His colleagues froze. Zhao Yao¡¯s feelings for her came pouring out of him.

    ¡°The current me, I¡¯m no longer an average human.¡±

    ¡°I now can live the life I want to live.¡±

    Three seconds passed by, Zhao Yao saw the revitalized world, and his eyes glowed with a certain brightness.

    At this moment, the book in Zhao Yao¡¯s brain shone brightly, and the chapter with the mission opened unknowingly.

    Written in the book was:

    Mission: To get stronger, begin from eating.

    Target: To earn a million RMB within a month, to provide luxury food for Matcha, no more inferior food.

    Reward for mission: 10 Experience points

    Failure toplete mission: Deduction of 10 Experience points

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes shone when he saw the mission content in his book. However, he could not help butined when he saw the mission¡¯s target.

    ¡°Earn a million RMB in a month... I might as well rob a bank.¡±

    ¡°And this deduction of 10 experience points, Matcha¡¯s experience is currently 0. A deduction of 10 wouldn¡¯t lead to a loss in ability, would it? Or since my book started from 0, the deduction would lead to the book being destroyed?¡±

    An anger surged from within Zhao Yao when he saw the punishment for failing the mission. However, after the brief dissatisfaction, he immediately thought, ¡°A million might be a big number, but with my ability, it is not entirely impossible.¡±

    As he thought, Zhao Yao¡¯s already started formting an idea. He immediately opened the web browser and searched for information online.

    Soon after, he sent an email applying for leave. Looking around the office, however, he realized that his counterpart was not in today.

    Looking at the time, Zhao Yao frowned, ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll just leave.¡±

    As to the million RMB, he already had a solution.

    ¡°Come to think of it; the fastest way would have to be Macau.¡±

    There were many ways to make money by stopping time, and one of which was to used it in gambling, and Macau was the most appropriate ce to gamble in China.

    And so Zhao Yao got home, ordered Matcha to watch the house, went on to settle his visa and booked his ne tickets to Macau. As Zhao Yao had once went on a holiday to Macau, he managed to get his visa and ne tickets within a day and boarded the ne that very night.

    9pm on the same day, Zhao Yao¡¯s ne arrived in Macau. Leaving the airport, the night view in Macau made Zhao Yao nervous as he let out a sigh.

    With the time freeze power, gambling should be the best tform to earn big bucks and in the whole of China, there was nowhere safer than Macau to do this. In this extravagant city, many lost their entire fortunes while others brought home millions or even billions of RMB.

    The most important thing was Macau¡¯s worldwide reputation, where Zhao Yao could win money without fearing for his life.

    ¡°Sessful or not, we shall see.¡±

    Taking a bus from the airport, Zhao Yao arrived directly at the Grand Lisboa Casino- Macau¡¯s biggest casino hotel. The Grand Lisboa painted extravagance with itspelling atmosphere, design, facilities and tip-top services.

    Just as he walked into the casino¡¯s main hall, he was greeted by the sight of a sea of people, and there were gambling tables everywhere.

    Hope, madness, pain, disappointment as well as riches all in one ce gave the casino its deadly charisma.

    In Macau, all casinos exchanged chips for HKD currency.

    Coming from a humble background, Zhao Yao had to be extremely frugal to pay for his university tuition fees. He even had to work odd jobs for extra cash.

    Thinking about all the odd jobs he had done, from distributing flyers, serving as a cashier, working at drinks stalls and convenience stalls, Zhao Yao could not help but feel emotional.

    After four years of doing odd jobs plus one year of full time work, Zhao Yao painstakingly saved up some money.

    But in the blink of an eye, Zhao Yao¡¯s hard earned money had turned into casino chips, each worth a hundred thousand HKD.

    If he were to lose those chips, his years of efforts would have gone down the drain.

    The thought of that made Zhao Yao very careful not to bet on the very first table he saw, but instead, he walked around the whole casino once to observe.

    The casino¡¯s main hall was where the regr gamblers yed, with Barat as the main game. Shoutings and cheerings could be heard now and then.

    Watching as chips worth a few thousand HKD each exchanged hands, the money on each and every table amounted to a few times, no, tens of times, no maybe even hundreds of times his monthly pay. Zhao Yao had a conflicting feeling about the worth of money as the thought of his umted pay over ten years might very well be someone else¡¯s win or loss that night.

    But this was all in the past. With his time freeze power, Zhao Yao felt like everything would be going his way in the casino.

    In a moment¡¯s silence, Zhao Yao casually flipped over the card on the table, revealing a 2 of clubs, before putting it back.

    When time resumed again, no one noticed what he had done.

    ¡°Once I have more money, I can consider ying barat.¡±

    Zhao Yao approached a roulette table. The table was not crowded, with only 4-5 people at it; their eyes focused on the roulette wheel as a small white ball made of ivory bounced and rolled.

    The so-called ¡®roulette game¡¯ took ce on arge wheel consisting of many small squares. When the wheel was spinning, a ball would be rolled along the wheel, which eventually wouldnd in one of the small squares.

    The objective of the game was to predict what color or number the ball would eventually end up. You could be adventurous and predict both the number and color.

    Betting on a single number gave the highest odds of 1 to 35, which meant that winning would earn you 35 times your bet, and this was what Zhao Yao had in mind.

    As the ball started to slow down, Zhao Yao walked to the position closest to the wheel and froze the time.

    He grabbed the ivory ball immediately and gave it a push, before retracting his hand back to its original position.

    As soon as time resumed, Zhao Yao had already returned to his original position and actions, and the people around him were too excited to notice what had just happened.

    The ball, after Zhao Yao¡¯s push, bounced a few more times beforending into the square number 12.

    A few men and women simultaneously let out cheers and sigh- of course, there were wins and losses, but the wins were merely thosebinations with higher chances of winning but lower returns, generally twice or thrice the bet amount.

    An enormous amount of luck was required to win the bet on a singr number.

    Seeing that the ball hadnded in square numbered 12, Zhao Yao frowned as he wanted the ball tond in the square numbered 15 but failed.

    ¡°The bounce of the ball was more than expected.¡±

    Zhao Yao decided not to bet but just stood beside the roulette wheel and watched as the dealer rolled the ball each time. When the ball was going to stop, he would interfere.

    <h4>Chapter 6: Millions</h4>

    After practicing a few times, Zhao Yao knew what he had to do. Instead of freezing time once, he froze time in intervals of one second each, giving him three chances to tamper with the ball.

    This was the trick Zhao Yao came up with after much practice.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s time freeze could stop time for 3 seconds but required 3 seconds of cooldown before using it again. But after experimenting, he found out that for any amount of time he used the power (less than 3 seconds), the cooldown required would be the same.

    Since he had allocated his timefreeze into 1 second intervals, he could activate his power with a cooldown of 1 second after every use.

    Doing so allowed him to freeze time three times in a row, and he could urately predict which position the ball would end up at.

    The first two timefreeze were meant to slow the ball down and to adjust its direction. Thest timefreeze would be the final blow to confirm the final position of the ball.

    For another 30 minutes, Zhao Yao polished his skills, making sure that he could manipte the ball into the square he wanted almost 100% of the time, before deciding to ce a bet.

    At this time, there was only a middle aged man and woman left at the table.

    The man seemed to have lost a lot of money. He had bloodshot eyes and was looking cranky.

    He gave Zhao Yao a nce and scolded, ¡°Hey punk, are you betting or not? If not what are you staring for, you are pissing me off.¡±

    Zhao Yao smirked, ¡°Of course I¡¯m betting¡± as he casually ced 10 chips worth 10 thousand HKD each on the number 15.

    Seeing what Zhao Yao just did, the dealer and the other gamblers were surprised. To them, betting 10 thousand HKD chips was normal, but betting on a single number was rarely seen.

    The manmented, ¡°Punk, are you crazy? Betting on a single number? That¡¯s suicide.¡± In between sentences, the man bet chips worth 5 thousand each, ¡°I bet on numbers 1-12.¡±

    The woman also ced her bet, ¡°I¡¯ll take numbers 1-18.¡±

    As soon as all 3 of them ced their bets, the dealer ced the ivory ball at the edge of the wheel, giving it a hard push and it started rolling.

    Staring intently as the ball started to slow down made Zhao Yao nervous and sweat trickled down his back.

    In the next moment, he activated the first timefreeze and forcefully pressed the ball.

    Time continued and the ball, without losing speed, knocked into the edges of the squares and started bouncing. Zhao Yao activated timefreeze a second time.

    This time, the ball rolled towards number 15.

    Seeing as the ball bounced between 14, 15 and 16, Zhao Yao activated timefreeze for the third andst time, making sure to push the ball into the square numbered 15.

    Time started flowing again and Zhao Yao¡¯s palms were drenched in sweat. Seeing that the ball hadnded at 15, he coughed uncontrobly.

    The woman screamed, looking very surprised from the oue.

    The man, with an unbelieving look, eximed, ¡°What the, he really won? 35 times? Isn¡¯t that 3.5 million HKD?¡±

    The dealer looked a little surprised, but kept his cool as he had seen many times when customers stroke it rich.

    The dealer asked politely, ¡°Sir, will you like to stop or continue?¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled and replied, ¡°I¡¯m done for the day, can you deposit the money I¡¯ve won into my ount?¡±

    ¡°Yes, sir.¡±

    Zhao Yao had already done his research. In Macau, winnings can either be brought home as cash or directly transferred into the bank. Cash would be troublesome to bring across customs and the banking option was more convenient but at the cost of a transaction fee.

    Two bodyguards approached Zhao Yao and escorted him to process his winnings. The staff helping him with the transaction all seemed too familiar with the situation, as though they had seen customers win millions on a daily basis.

    ¡°Sir, do you want all your winnings transferred into your ount?¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°I¡¯d like to keep 1 million HKD worth of chips, the rest you can transfer.¡±

    Due to currency exchange and the transaction fee, 2.5 million HKD turned into 2.15 million RMB in Zhao Yao¡¯s bank ount.

    A casino manager asked Zhao Yao, ¡°Sir, will you like to continue ying? If you do I can give you a free night stay at one of our VIP suites and a free membership. If you wish to leave, you can contact us anytime and we will have our helicopter service send you to the airport.¡±

    Having just won 3 million HKD, Zhao Yao was still feeling rather nervous. During the timefreeze, he was moving at top speed so that he had enough time to regain his original position, in case the casino wanted to investigate his actions through the surveince camera.

    But after the interactions with the casino¡¯s staff, Zhao Yao was confident that no one had any suspicions or intentions to investigate the validity of his winnings. The staff were desensitised after having dealt with this kind of situation many times. To them, this kind of winnings was considered little.

    Zhao Yao smiled and politely replied, ¡°I¡¯d like the free suite room. I n to spend some time touring the ce.¡±

    Having been escorted to the suite, Zhao Yao jumped at the sight of how posh and extravagant the ce looked. At this point of time, he was thrilled to bits.

    Thinking about the 2.15 million RMB in his bank and looking at the 10 casino chips each worth 100 thousand HKD each, Zhao Yao¡¯s heartbeat rose uncontrobly.

    3 million RMB. Working for 10 years might not even save him this much but within just a few hours, he had won over 3 million RMB.

    Looking at his unfinished to-do list, Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°I¡¯ve earned so much money and yet I have notpleted my tasks. Is it because I have yet to buy Matcha¡¯s cat feed?¡±

    Havingpleted his objective, Zhao Yao could be on his way back but since he was already in Macau, could he really settle for just 3 million RMB?

    He looked at his remaining chips and grinned, ¡°I shall not y roulette anymore. But with two more days at Macau, I can still make a big killing.¡±

    Although Zhao Yao was excited, he maintained his cool. Roulette could give high returns, but the chances of winning were too low and if he were to keep winning, it would raise suspicions.

    Games like barat were different. They were more low-profile, and with 1 million worth of chips, he could win a lot of more.

    Macau¡¯s casinos were not afraid to let customers win some money, but winning in a too obvious fashion might raise their suspicions and this was what Zhao Yao wanted to avoid.

    Standing in front of the window and staring at Macau¡¯s brightly lighted city, Zhao Yao never had a moment like that, feeling all confident and excited, as though the whole world belonged to him.

    In the next two days, Zhao Yao went from casino to casino, making use of his time freeze power to win more than he lost. Everytime he won a few hundred thousand at a table, he would move on to the next table. Two days passed just like that and Zhao Yao had earned more than 13 million RMB.

    The third day, 8am. Zhao Yao, filled with lethargy, sat in the main lobby of the airport. Looking at his bank ount bnce on his phone, a blissful smile shed across his face.

 Chapter 7: Return

    <h4>Chapter 7: Return</h4>

    In the past three days, he had won a total of over 13 million RMB. That amount of money was what an average person could never earn in a lifetime. If not for the attention that he would attract, he would have stayed in Macau to continue gambling. That kind of easy money and watching his bank bnce skyrocket were too tempting to resist.

    The thought of the money made Zhao Yao too excited even to sleep.

    But as he sat in the lobby of the airport awaiting his ne, Zhao Yao gradually regained his calm.

    ¡°Winning money by gambling may not be a good n in the long term. Unless I have to, I¡¯d better find a morew-abiding way of earning money.¡±

    Thinking about his superpower and the possibilities of upgrading it, Zhao Yao felt that he would only be more powerful, and a mere 10 million RMB would be nothing to him.

    But he did not have any ambition to rule the world or change humanity. Having money and leading the life he wanted was enough.

    5 hourster, Zhao Yaonded at Jiangmen airport. As soon as he turned on his phone, it ringed.

    Zhao Yao answered the call only to hear an angry woman¡¯s voice berating, ¡°Zhao Yao! Do you want to be fired? The schedule has been so busy, and you dare to take three days off? Where¡¯s your sense of responsibility? Do you know how many times I have tried calling you? If you don¡¯te back now, you can say goodbye to your monthly bonus and even your year-end bonus. I¡¯m giving you one hour to meet me in my office.¡±

    Before Zhao Yao could reply, the call ended. Shaking his head, he knew that that was his boss, the project leader- Yuan Ying, who called.

    Yuan Ying always had a bad temper, and this time, Zhao Yao had left his project unfinished and took three days off. Furthermore, he was uncontactable during those three days, and Yuan Ying must be raging.

    But Zhao Yao was not concerned. The 13 million RMB and the time freeze power promised him a limitless future. He had already nned to quit his current job, and even if his boss were to cut his job contract for skipping work, he would be okay with it.

    ¡°I was originally nning to do things step by step. But seeing the results of the recent mission, I have to earn arge sum of money quickly. This is perfect. I can start enjoying my life earlier.¡±

    His money came from a legitimate source, and he was not working in the government so a significant amount of money would not attract anyone¡¯s attention. Even if people found out about it, they would just pass it off as his good luck.

    Zhao Yao decided to take a cab home to check on Matcha first.

    While waiting for the cab, the ground suddenly shook. The earthquake came out of the blue but subsided quickly too, and the tremors stopped.

    ¡°What the...¡± Zhao Yao, rather surprised, nced at the chaotic crowd and thought, ¡°Another earthquake?¡±

    But the earthquake this time felt weak and did not really affect the surroundings as Zhao Yao, without dy, boarded a cab home.

    Opening the door, he was greeted with a floor littered with rubbish.

    Strewn all over the floor were shredded tissue papers, cups, remote controls and wires and on the table were half eaten cat food, water stains, a toppled teapot and a vase ...

    Zhao Yao roared, ¡°Damn cat, show yourself now!¡±

    Seeing that Matcha was nowhere to be found in the living room, he went straight to the bedroom.

    On the bed lied a pile of soft yellow thing holding onto a phone which was connected to the charging port. There was cat food everywhere which Matcha must have brought onto the bed to eat.

    Looking at Matcha¡¯s serious expression while ying Mobile Legends, Zhao Yao eyes¡¯ seethed with rage, ¡°Damn cat, didn¡¯t I ask you to look after the house? Look at the state of the ce.¡±

    Having heard Zhao Yao¡¯s naggings, Matcha wagged his tail and impatiently replied, ¡°What can I do, I¡¯m just a cat. You should try using your mouth and cat paws to open cat food, or take tissue papers...¡±

    In between words, the world suddenly came to a standstill, only to see Matcha get up and started pressing his phone frantically.

    ¡°Timefreeze during a game? You can do that? Does it even work?¡± Zhao Yao was stunned but when he took a closer look, he realized that Matcha was using time freeze to type messages.

    ¡°Rubbish monkey, you went jungle without jungle knife?!!¡±

    ¡°Stupid Zhugeliang, can you not choose a hero you can¡¯t y when ranking?¡±

    ¡°Opponent¡¯s Libai, if not for your team¡¯s rubbish monkey, I¡¯d have ended you.¡±

    A few times in a row, as time regained its flow, there would be messages suddenly appearing on the screen. Of course, Matcha was the one typed them.

    During a time freeze, the time in Mobile Legends stopped too but any actions done during that time would all be registered by the game as soon as the time freeze power deactivated.

    Whenever the time returned to normal, lines of messages would suddenly appear on the screen.

    Matcha was able to type messages at a superhuman speed and even when he was 1v3, he was not exactly at a disadvantage.

    While Matcha was reprimanding the yers and ying the game at the same time...

    LiBai ended LuBan.

    LiBai ended LuBan.

    LiBai ended LuBan.

    LiBai, ¡°Noob!¡±

    Matcha let out a roar and started typing frantically.

    Seeing as Matcha used his power from time to time, Zhao Yao rubbed his chin and sighed, ¡°no wonder there were instances of time freezing these few days. It was this guy...¡±

    At that moment, Matcha started meowing hysterically, and Zhao Yao asked, ¡°what¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Matcha, waving his ws around, replied, ¡°Quick quick! Help me up; I can¡¯t get up.¡±

    ¡°What happened?¡± Zhao Yao quickly went to his aid and helped Matcha up.

    Matcha exined, ¡°Lied down for too long, my legs are numb.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s mouth twitched a little as he threw the fat cat onto the floor.

    ¡°Meow!¡± Matcha rolled onto the floor and shouted, ¡°Help me up now, I haven¡¯t finish scolding my teammate.¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at Matcha and left the bedroom and started researching about cat food on hisptop.

    ¡°Premium food? That must be better right?¡±

    Scrolling through Taobao, Zhao Yao found the most expensive cat food and canned cat food. He once again typed into the search engine and started researching about those brands and looking at their reviews.

    Things had beplicated after looking for half a day. There were different brands, different recipes, and even vors. Zhao Yao never knew there was so much research put into cat food.

 Chapter 8: Levels

    <h4>Chapter 8: Levels</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    An hourter, Zhao Yao had looked through over 10 research papers and rmendations. He had a better understanding regarding cat food.

    In fact, the country¡¯s pet industry only became popr recently and the qualities of different cat food were rather extreme. The ingredients and chemicals in the cat food came from unclear sources and China¡¯s cat food industry was among the world¡¯s worst.

    In other countries, especially North America, the cat food industry had a much longer history and thus their products were of a much higher quality.

    The main difference was due to the ingredients. A cat¡¯s diet mainly consisted of meat. Oats found in some cat food were actually not digestible and vegetables merely helped cats in overall digestion. In conclusion, higher quality cat food generally had a higher percentage of meat as ingredient.

    The best quality cat food were usually made from almost 100% meat.

    Besides meat, small amounts of vitamins and chemicals were also important. Eating 100% meat was not the best bnce of nutrients for a cat as they need other forms of nutrients to maintain certain bodily functions.

    One such example was Taurine. Cats used uprge amounts of taurine everyday which was important in keeping a cat¡¯s heart, eyes and immune system healthy. Meat also contained taurine but it was not guaranteed that cats were able to absorb enough taurine and thus this extra nutrient was found in cat food.

    Naturally, a high quality cat food also had an expensive price tagged to it.

    With so many different choices of good cat food, Zhao Yao had no idea which one would help himplete the mission.

    The thought of the 13 million he had suddenly hit him, ¡°Don¡¯t I have a lot of money now? I might as well buy more and let Matcha try all the different kinds.¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately opened Taobao, chose the top 10 best rated cat food and ordered a packet of each.

    Havingpleted his purchase, Zhao Yao let out a sigh of relief, ¡°When the delivery arrives tomorrow, I can let that fe try them.¡±

    At this moment, his phone rang and seeing the caller ID, Zhao Yao picked up without dy and before the other party could start her bombardment, ¡°Sorry leader, I¡¯d like to resign.¡±

    The party on the other side of the call was his project leader Yuan Ying who could not believe she heard, ¡°What did you say?¡±

    Zhao Yao repeated, ¡°Sorry manager, I¡¯d like to resign soon. I still have over 10 days of leave left right? I¡¯m very busytely so I¡¯d like to take my leaves. I¡¯ll email you my leave application.¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed, ¡°Boss, I¡¯m very sorry, I want to resign and start my own business. After clearing my leaves, I wille back to settle the paperwork for my resignation. Regarding the handover of my work, I will definitely settle it before I leave. You don¡¯t have to worry. But this job... I really don¡¯t wish to continue. Sorry.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t be rash.¡± The other party¡¯s voice had toned down, ¡°How about this, you seem really tiredtely so I¡¯ll approve of your leave for you to rest. After you¡¯re feeling better you cane back to work.¡±

    Zhao Yao was about to reply but Yuan Ying had cut the call.

    Looking at the ended call, Zhao Yao sighed again. He knew that he was in the middle of a project and his boss was unwilling to just let someone else take over like this.

    But he also no longer had any motivation to continue working.

    On the other end, in the office, Yuan Ying looked at the ended call and shook her head, ¡°Brats these days are really irresponsible, quitting their jobs so easily to start a business? Working for only a year and they start thinking about making it big by themselves, do they think investors are idiots? Why can¡¯t they work properly for a few years and improve their skills before considering to start up? Sigh... these youngsters are too impetuous.¡±

    At that point of time, her project was only halfway done and if Zhao Yao quits, the project¡¯s progress will be greatly affected.

    Not to mention that Zhao Yao was hardworking and rarely hadins. He would work till 9, 10pm everyday without any overtime pay.

    With this in mind, she texted Zhao Yao.

    ¡°When this project is over, I n to give you a pay rise to at least 3k.¡±

    ¡°Starting up isn¡¯t so easy, many had failed badly trying to do so. It¡¯s better if you gain some experience first.¡±

    After sending the messages, Yuan Ying looked at her phone and frowned. In the back of her mind, she could not stop worrying about Zhao Yao not turning up to work.

    But Zhao Yao paid no heed to the sugarcoated messages.

    After ordering the cat food and talking to Yuan Ying, a new QQ message popped up on Zhao Yao¡¯sptop. It was Xiao Shi Yu, his ssmate from university.

    ¡°Sky Pce Garden condominium, north-south line ess, high and low floors avable, 500m from the train station...¡±

    It was a property advert.

    Following the message, the once dead university group chat suddenly got lively.

    ¡°Goddess Xiao is selling properties now?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s impressive. Sky Pce only has nice houses and buying one will be my life goal.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s too expensive. I doubt anyone in this group will be able to afford one right now...¡±

    At the start, the QQ group chat was very active. But as everyone entered the working society and became busy with their own jobs, the chat got more and more inactive.

    Within a month, there were barely any messages seen.

    Because of a single message from Xiao Shi Yu, the whole group chat was revived. This was the power of beauty.

    ...

    On the other side of theputer, a pony taileddy was staring at the messages on the chat. She had arge pair of eyes, smooth fair skin and wore an office attire which still could not conceal her amazing figure- a pair of slender but strong legs from regr exercises.

    Xiao Shi Yu was Zhao Yao¡¯s university ssmate and she had taken up the job of a property agent. Due to her good performance, she had been transferred to Sky Pce for this uing project.

    But a few months had passed and she had yet to sell a single t. The pressure starting getting to her as she resorted to advertising among her circle of friends.

    The advertisement in the QQ chat was from her but seeing the responses from her old ssmates, a look of disappointment developed.

    She already know that amongst her ssmates, there was no one born with a silver spoon and everyone had just started working for a year so they could not possibly afford that kind of house.

    At this point, she started checking for replies from other QQ chat groups and WeiXin.

    ...

    Zhao Yao decided to check it out.

    ¡°Although the ce is located in the outskirts, there is an essible train station and as for the surroundings, there were ample greeneries, main retail stores and business shops around.....¡±

    ¡°Hmm... this 1.4 million RMB house is really not bad¡±

    Looking at photos of the house¡¯s interior,yout and surroundings, Zhao Yao was tempted.

    But the price still made him reluctant. Although he had enough money to buy the house, the costs of renovation, furnitures and all the other misceneous items would cost him most of it. This was not part of his n and he decided not to buy.

    Zhao Yao gave up on the thought of buying the house.

    Although the house was too expensive, Zhao Yao had an inspiration.

    ¡°Now that I have some money, is it time to buy arger house?¡±

    Zhao Yao was originally from Jiangmen and his family had a house there. But his house was in the suburbs and it would take 2.5 hours to travel to his workce. For convenience sake, he rented an apartment in the vicinity.

    To be able to buy his own house in Jiangmen had always been his goal.

    As such, he started researching online about house pricings in Jiangmen.

    He got a shock. The expensive houses in Sky Pce were no exceptions.

    Previously, he knew that he would not be able to afford a house and thus had not look at prices of properties for quite awhile. As of now, his 13 million RMB felt meagrepared to the price of houses in Jiangmen.

    Houses in the heart of the city easily cost up to tens of millions RMB. If he were to buy a bigger house, he could only look at those in the outer central or even the outer districts.

    At first, the 13 million RMB seemed like a lot of money but Zhao Yao had realised that buying a house would require most of it.

    Zhao Yaomented, ¡°I have to earn more money.¡±

    Unknowingly, a day¡¯s time passed by and by the afternoon the next day, Zhao Yao¡¯s long awaited cat food arrived.

    The deliveryman had hand-carried 10 over packets of cat food and was drenched in sweat. Heined, ¡°What did you buy? It¡¯s so heavy.¡±

    ¡°Hehe, nothing much, just cat food.¡±

    The deliveryman left and Zhao Yao could not wait to start opening his package.

    Matcha, on the other hand, was even more excited and dashed out from the bedroom and started prancing around.

    ¡°Cat food? Is it new cat food?¡± Matcha sniffed and meowed, ¡°Zhao Yao, why did you buy so much? I thought we were too poor to even afford canned cat food?¡±

    Zhao Yao nonchntly replied, ¡°Your owner- me, has made it rich. You will be living a rich cat life from now on.¡±

    Matcha listened on with glistening eyes and greedily requested, ¡°How about you give me some money on Mobile Legends to buy a skin.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head and said, ¡°Buy what skins? Let me tell you, skins are for noobs and really good yers don¡¯t need skins. Killing your enemies is all you need.¡±

    Matcha retorted, ¡°But I am a noob.¡±

    ¡°You this brat... Can¡¯t you have more backbone? Being a noob now doesn¡¯t mean you will always be one. Think about it, when everyone has skins and you¡¯re the only one without, wouldn¡¯t it make you more unique?¡±

    ¡°But I still want the skins. I can wait till everyone has the skins then I¡¯ll remove mine.¡±

    Zhao Yao, feeling annoyed, kicked Matcha aside, ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about that. Do give all these cat food a try and see which is the best.¡±

    Zhao Yao went on to open each and every cat food and poured out a little in front of Matcha for him to taste.

    There were a total of 10 different brands and 15 different vors. For some of them, Matcha took a sniff and refused to even try whereas for some he would finish with just a few mouthfuls but still had an unsatisfied look.

    Just as Matcha was about to finish trying all of them, the book once again appeared in Zhao Yao¡¯s mind, giving off an amazing glow.

    Zhao Yao saw the cat food and immediately realized what was different.

    While still looking at the cat food, a list of evaluation appeared in his mind.

    ¡°Poor quality cat food- can barely satisfy hunger but will not have many benefits on the cat¡¯s body.¡±

    Zhao Yao turned to the cat food on the other side.

    ¡°Normal quality cat food- can satisfy hunger and at the same time, replenish some nutrients and vitamins. Eating for a month will give 1 point of experience.¡±

    Zhao Yao went on to evaluate each and every cat food and learned that the cat food was categorized into 4 levels- poor, normal, good and premium.

    Poor quality ones could only satisfy hunger while normal quality ones had some nutrients and would give 1 point of exp a month.

    Good and premium cat food had more nutrients that a growing cat needs. Good quality ones gave 1 point of exp in 10 days while premium ones gave 1 point in just a day.

    Zhao Yao also found out that the cat food Matcha preferred may not be of good or premium quality, but probably the one with a better taste.

    And the ones he did not like may not be of poor or normal qualities but merely because he did not like the taste.

    In his hands, Zhao Yao was holding onto a Desire¡¯s brand cat food and it was the only premium one among the 10 brands he bought. It was also the most expensive.

    ¡°Haha, premium cat food! Eating this would give 1 point of exp a day and doesn¡¯t this mean that Matcha can level up in 10 days withoutpleting the mission?¡±

    Although it cost 70-80 RMB for a pound, that kind of money was already nothing to Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Matcha, it shall be Desire¡¯s then. You will eat this brand of cat food every day from now on.¡±

    Zhao Yao had an idea, ¡°Since there is premium cat food, is there a possibility that there¡¯s epic or even legendary cat food? If there is, the experience points given will be even more. But on Taobao, Desire¡¯s cat food is already the most expensive one.¡±

    Zhao Yao had made up his mind to try finding better quality cat food so that Matcha could level up faster.

    At the same time, a bell rang inside Zhao Yao¡¯s head. Mission waspleted.

    He instantly gained 10 points of experience and the stats on the first page of the book was updated:

    BOOK:Lv1(10/100)

    PETS (1/1):Matcha

    LEVEL:Lv1£¨0/10£©

    LOYALTY:100

    POWER:Timefreezests for 3s,cooldown for 3s

    As the experience points were added to the book, a plus symbol beside Matcha¡¯s name lit up.

    Zhao Yao analysed, ¡°The exp points were all added to my book but it seems like these points can be used to level up the book or be given to the pet.¡±

    Zhao Yao pressed the plus symbol beside Matcha¡¯s name and the 10 exp points were immediately transferred to him. His stats changed.

    PET:Matcha

    LEVEL:Lv2£¨0/100£©

    LOYALTY:100

    POWER:Timefreezests for 3s,cooldown for 3s

    The exp points needed to reach Lv 3 had suddenly jumped to 100. At the same time, a plus symbol lit up beside Matcha¡¯s power.

    Zhao Yao clicked on it and an ability tree appeared.

    Looking closely, Zhao Yao realized that for every time Matcha leveled up, he could choose to use the skill point to upgrade his power to one of the 2 choices given. The power ¡®timefreeze¡¯ was already unlocked at Lv 1.

    Leveling up to Lv 2 allowed for the choice of one of the two Lv 2 powers.

    The difference between the 2 Lv 2 powers was:

    Time warp- the duration of time stopping would be doubled.

    Void silence- the cooldown duration would be halved.

    Zhao Yao saw the two different upgrades and frowned. One could increase the duration of time stopping and the other was a shorter cooldown time which meant that he could either choose to have more time to do more things or to be able to use the power more frequently.

    In order to make good use of a shorter cooldown, this meant that he had to use the power more frequently and it did not seem as easy to control.

    Zhao Yao decided to invest the skill point into time warp and increased the duration of time freeze.

    The image of time warp lit up and the ability tree disappeared.

    Matcha¡¯s stats for his power had changed. It became time freeze for 6s and cooldown of 6s.

    ¡°Hmm.. The cooldown time also increased?¡± Zhao Yao stared nkly, ¡°Seems like after increasing the duration of time freeze, there is still a 1s use, 1s cooldown policy. Maybe decreasing the cooldown duration might have been more useful.¡±

    But Zhao Yao did not regret his choice as he smiled, looking at the now Lv 2 Matcha.

    At the same time, the mission board lit up.

    Mission: To get stronger, a suitable environment is important.

    Reward: 20 points exp

    Failure penalty: Cats cannot gain exp for 6 months

    ¡°This penalty is too harsh...¡± Zhao Yao looked at the 10 million RMB house mission requirement and sighed.

    ¡°I¡¯ve kept this 10 million RMB for so long and soon they will be gone.¡± Zhao Yao nced at Matcha, who was still happily eating and reprimanded, ¡°What kind of cat needs such avish house. Even humans don¡¯t live such a good life. This is the Jack Ma of the cat¡¯s world.¡±

    However reluctant, Zhao Yao knew that he had toplete the mission, not just for the 20 points of exp but also to prevent the harsh penalty.

    ¡°Speaking of which, a 10 million RMB house...¡± The Sky Pce condominium he saw on QQ chat came to mind.

    Most of their ts cost over 10 million RMB and Zhao Yao originally had taken a liking to them but chose not to buy due to the costs. But the circumstance was different now.

    He then logged into QQ and sent a message to Xiao Shi Yu.

    ¡°Where is it? That Sky Pce ce, I¡¯d like to buy one.¡±

    ......

    ¡°Dee.. Dee..¡± Xiao Shi Yu¡¯s phone vibrated and she was shocked to see the message.

    ¡°Zhao Yao?¡±

    In her recollections, Zhao Yao was very average and did not perform exceptionally in any areas during university. And his family background was normal too. Logically, working for 2-3 years should not be enough for him to afford the house.

    ¡°Is he interested in me?¡±

    After bing a property agent, she had simr experiences with guys using that as a method of wooing her.

    Xiao Shi Yu was about to ignore him but the thought of her poor sales performance this month led her to give him a chance, ¡°If I find out that you can¡¯t afford it and waste my time, see what I¡¯m gonna do to you.¡±

    Xiao Shi Yu typed, ¡°Which kind of t are you interested in?¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°I¡¯m looking at the 140 square meters ones you have.¡±

    Xiao Shi Yu was surprised. ts from the Sky Pce¡¯s tall buildings in the district were quite expensive, each costing more than 10 million RMB. Given Zhao Yao¡¯s background, there was no way he could afford it.

    She was convinced that Zhao Yao had no intention to buy the house, but was just trying to woo her.

    Xiao Shi Yu answered directly, ¡°Let¡¯s decide on a date then; I¡¯ll show you the ts.¡±

    Zhao Yao did not feel the sarcasm in her words and typed, ¡°Sure, how about Ie over at around 4 pm to look at the ts?¡±

    Xiao Shi Yu was taken aback by his reply and thought, ¡°Let¡¯s see if you can afford it...¡±

    She replied, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡±

    Zhao Yao proceeded to hail a cab and arrived at Sky Pce within 10 minutes. He informed Xiao Shi Yu about his arrival.

    A short whileter, Xiao Shi Yu appeared in a purple office wear. Her flowy ck hair, ivory white teeth and a pair of slim legs gently wrapped in a pair of ck stockings took Zhao Yao¡¯s breath away instantly.

    Clearly, after entering the working society, she had learned how to dress well. She was looking more stunning than ever.

    Zhao Yao waved, ¡°Hello, sorry to trouble you.¡±

    ¡°No problem.¡± Xiao Shi Yu politely answered although she was still quite skeptical about it, ¡°Do you have any special considerations about the house?¡±

    ¡°Hmm, nope.¡± Zhao Yao thought for a while and said, ¡°Let¡¯s take a look first.¡±

    Xiao Shi Yu¡¯s expectations dropped even further when she saw his outfit.

    As Xiao Shi Yu lead Zhao Yao into the district, they were greeted by rows of green trees and the grand structure of the building. The lobby was decorated with western styled vases and statues, giving off a very ssy aura.

    Xiao Shi Yu brought Zhao Yao to the 17th floor of one of the buildings.She invited him into one of the ts, the walls of the interior were pasted with grey-white striped wallpapers and in the corner of the living room sat a white flowered pattern vase.

    Xiao Shi Yu added on, ¡°The ts in this building has five rooms and the interiors are all renovated and decorated. You just need to move your furniture in, and you can start living here.¡±

    Looking around the t, Zhao Yao started to feel emotional. This t was a paradisepared to the sh*t hole he was living in. The living room was already bigger than his current ce and not to mention the two balconies on each side of the t.

    The toilets were also well furnished- the ceramic tiles on the floors and walls had a grey base with some gold colored pattern, giving off a luxurious feel.

    The marble-made basin gave off a rigid, strong foundation look.

    Xiao Shi Yu continued her pitch, ¡°If you are to buy this t now, you will be given a free car parking slot in the basement worth around 150 thousand RMB.¡±

    Having looked around a few times, Zhao Yao was feeling satisfied. The ce was built by a famous organization and the quality, renovation and environment were all very satisfactory.

    But the thought of the 10 million RMB price tag made his heart wrench.

    Xiao Shi Yu started to frown as she saw Zhao Yao pacing up and down and asked, ¡°So Zhao Yao, are you nning to buy? These ts are currently very popr and you might miss your chance if you don¡¯t decide now...¡±

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m buying. I¡¯ll be paying the full amount straight up, no problems with that right?¡±

    ¡°Sure, let¡¯s make a move first then, I still have other clients waiting...¡± Xiao Shi Yu thought Zhao Yao was not going to buy and had run her mouth off too quickly. She suddenly looked up and stared at him, ¡°You... You just said you want to buy this t? And you¡¯re paying the full amount up front?¡±

    Her mind could not believe what she just heard. This t cost 10.8 million RMB without tax and the costs of furniture and electricity would add up to more than 11 million. Even to Xiao Shi Yu, this was a significant amount of money. She did not expect someone like Zhao Yao to be able to afford it.

    Looking at her surprised expression, Zhao Yao was proud of himself, ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯ve earned some money and nned to buy a house.¡±

    Xiao Shi Yu, still finding it hard to believe, nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s good, you cane with me to sign the papers.¡±

    Zhao Yao then followed Xiao Shi Yu to a guest reception room which incited whispers among a few other salesgirls there.

    A slightly plump salesgirl said, ¡°He¡¯s so young and dresses so normally. You can tell at one look that this kind of person can¡¯t afford it.¡±

    Another tall salesgirl said, ¡°That may not be true. He might just be hiding his wealth.¡±

    ¡°Hehe, I think he is just interested in Xiao Shi Yu. Wasn¡¯t there quite a few of them this month? Acting like they are interested in the house when they are just here for her.¡±

    Just as the 3 of them were busy chatting, a cough interrupted them, and they quietened down.

    ¡°Manager.¡±

    The sales manager gave the 3 of them a re and said, ¡°That guy is buying a 148 square meters sized t, and he¡¯s even paying the full amount upfront. Next time, don¡¯t judge too quickly.¡±

    The three salesgirls were shocked to hear the manager¡¯s words. As soon as the manager left, the fat girl eximed, ¡°148 sqm t, isn¡¯t that over 10 million RMB? That guy is so rich?¡±

    The tall salesgirl had a look of envy and said, ¡°Xiao Shi Yu must be really lucky. Even though themission is just half a percent, that¡¯d still be tens of thousands RMB.¡±

    ¡°What is tens of thousands RMB to him?¡± the fat salesgirl added, ¡°I wonder if he has a girlfriend. Whoever would buy me a 148 sqm t in that building, I¡¯d marry him right away.¡±

    ¡°Haha, you still dare to think about being his girlfriend? Xiao Shi Yu is already there, which means you¡¯d never get your turn.¡±

    While the salesgirls wereughing among themselves, in the reception room, Xiao Shi Yu was still stunned.

    At this moment, the sales manager arrived and smiled, ¡°Mr. Zhao, I¡¯ve heard from Shiyu that you¡¯d like to buy the t on the 17th floor? The one that costs 10.8 million RMB?¡±

    ¡°That right. And I¡¯d like to pay the full amount upfront.¡± On the outside, Zhao Yao appeared calm, but his heart was pumping hard. He would have preferred taking a loan, but doing so would result in notpleting the mission on time.

    The sales manager smile got even brighter upon hearing this news.

    ¡°Sure sure sure, let me go prepare the documents, please wait a short while.¡±

    The entire process of buying the house was sessful. Zhao Yao submitted 300 thousand RMB worth of deposit and hence considered to havepleted today¡¯s mission. Following that would be to go to the transaction center in a few days to finalize all procedures.

    Xiao Shi Yu stood at the side, watching the way Zhao Yao signed the contract, and dishing out 300 thousand just like that. To her, the originally average Zhao Yao looked so much more manly.

    The salesman grinned and said, ¡°Mr. Zhao, everything is done. Following this would be to finalize everything at the transaction center this Friday, and the house would be yours. Or whenever you are free, we can adjust the timings to your preference.¡±

    Zhao Yao still felt the pain in his heart at this moment. Facing the hospitality of the salesman, he smiled slightly, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll make a move first. This Friday will be alright; there¡¯s no need for any adjustments.¡±

    The manager smiled and said, ¡°I won¡¯t send you off then. Shi Yu, you escort Mr. Zhao off!¡±

    Xiao Shi Yu nodded and followed behind Zhao Yao towards the door.

    Stepping past the door, Zhao Yao said, ¡°Alright, you don¡¯t have to escort me anymore, I can go to the taxi stop myself.¡±

    Xiao Shi Yu shook her head, and said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing! Havingpleted your transaction, I could afford not to work this entire month. Let me send you there.¡±

    Zhao Yao naturally did not object to having a beauty by his side, and the two of them walked towards the taxi stop.

    On the way, Xiao Shi Yu seemed more formal than before. After all, the current Zhao Yao was different from the one in the past. To be able to spend RMB 1 million on the house after working for merely one year, Zhao Yao had drastically increased their social and economic disparity, leading to some jealousy, some envy, and even slight worship from her.

    After walking a few hundred meters, Xiao Shi Yu eventually could not control herself, and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, you¡¯re so impressive, able to buy a house on your own at such a young age.¡±

    Zhao Yao did not feel so amazed by himself. After all, all he did was use his ability to gamble. He responded to Xiao Shi Yu with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡±

    Xiao Shi Yu continued, ¡°What are you doing now? Still programming?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyebrows congregated, thinking that since he was about to resign, what he was going to do in the future shouldn¡¯t be programming.

    Nurturing a supercat, making money through his unique ability. What job could that be?

    Zhao Yao thought for a moment, and said unsurely, ¡°Nope, I would say I have my own business now.¡±

    ¡°Oh, business.¡± Xiao Shi Yu¡¯s eyes glowed, an impressed expression could be seen from her gaze, ¡°You¡¯re sopetent, I would like to dabble in business too, but haven¡¯t dared to all this while, afraid to lose all of my money.¡±

    ¡°Oh yeah, since you¡¯re so capable, you must have a girlfriend?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t, can¡¯t even speak a few lines to any girl.¡± It feltfortable to be looked at by a beautifuldy¡¯s impressed gaze. Zhao Yao continued, smiling, ¡°Running a business well is just luck anyway.¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡± Xiao Shi Yu nodded, and her eyes glowed even more upon hearing his reply. She continued asking, ¡°Following this, when you¡¯re moving, buying furniture and renovating, I can help you! I know quite a fewpanies.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head; he indeed had to move, ¡°Alright, afterpleting the transaction this week, I intend to move next week. There¡¯s no need for renovations; theyout is already quite decent. I wouldn¡¯t know when I can move in if I had to renovate the house.¡±

    The mission only has a time limit of one month, Zhao Yao was naturallyzy to renovate.

    Xiao Shi Yuughed and said, ¡°Then add me on WeChat! I¡¯ll help you contact thepanies.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    The two added each other on WeChat and chatted all the way till Zhao Yao was on the taxi. He thought, ¡°Did I just have a conversation with the most beautiful girl from university?¡±

    Zhao Yao began tidying his room and packed his luggage to prepare to move once he got home.

    Matcha was lying on the sofa at the side, initially watching Jojo¡¯s Bizarre Adventure, he did not understand why Zhao Yao was scurrying all over the ce, packing his belongings.

    Eventually, he saw Zhao Yao pushing out luggage, and he asked,¡± Zhao Yao, what are you doing?¡±

    ¡°Moving!¡± Zhao Yao smiled widely at Matcha, ¡°Silly cat, your boss just bought a luxury house, and I¡¯m going to bring you there to enjoy our bliss.¡±

    Matcha didn¡¯t react as Zhao Yao thought he would. Matcha revealed an expression of fear.

    ¡°Y...Y....Y....You said you¡¯re moving?¡±

    Zhao Yao froze and asked,¡±What¡¯s wrong? You¡¯re not happy?¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡± Matcha replied hysterically,¡±Why move? Isn¡¯t everything good around here? I¡¯, already used to this ce, I don¡¯t want to move.¡±

    Zhao Yao suddenly realized, cats were a very sentimental species. They would notice even a slight change at home and their emotions would change. Moving, to them, was the epitome of the worst that could happen.

    Many families had unhappy cats after moving. Some even escaping to their previous homes.

    Since Matcha became smart, he wouldn¡¯t shit all over the ce even without sterilization, so Zhao Yao thought that he wouldn¡¯t have the typical habits of other cats. Now it seemed like Zhao Yao was too hopeful.

    Pondering for a moment, Zhao Yao exined, ¡°After moving, I¡¯ll buy you an automatic cat toilet, an automatic drink dispenser, you¡¯ll be so much happier.¡±

    ¡°Are you kidding? You want to change my toilet, food, and pet dish as well? Do you know that everything here is the mostfortable and in the most appropriate positions after I arranged them through many trials? I intend to use them like this for the next few decades!

    Do you know how much moving can affect a cat¡¯s psychology and feelings? How long would I need to adapt to a totally different lifepletely?¡±

    ¡°Oh please, it¡¯s just moving.¡± Zhao Yao replied irritably, ¡°Don¡¯t make it sound like migration, for goodness sake.¡±

    Matcha shot a re at Zhao Yao, and shook his head, ¡°No! I won¡¯t move even if you beat me to death. Even if I starve to death, I want to be the ghost of this house! I even have the position for my ashes decided in this house!¡±

    He didn¡¯t care about what Zhao Yao had to say anymore and lied down on the sofa to y with the phone.

    Seeing Matcha so determined, Zhao Yao was dumbfounded, He never expected Matcha to resist moving so much.

    ...

    ¡°Hahahaha, I¡¯m so cool, I¡¯m so cool,¡± Matcha eximed, looking at Lu Ban¡¯s skin in his mobile game, his eyes full of excitement. He excitedly continued, ¡°watch me kill every single one of you.¡±

    Zhao Yao, who was by the side, came over to collect his phone. Having just gifted Matcha a character skin, albeit the cheapest one at RMB 28, Matcha was happy beyondprehension.

    ¡°Okay then.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°No problem moving then.¡±

    Matcha replied indifferently, ¡°Anything, as long as there are WIFI and air-conditioning.¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled and patted Matcha¡¯s head. Matcha¡¯s face was getting chubbier by the day, and it could be felt by the touch of the hand. It was getting nicer to stroke Matcha¡¯s face.

    At this moment, Xiao Shi Yu, at the other side of the town, felt doubt and insecurity.

    ¡°This guy, why hasn¡¯t he messaged me after so long.¡± Looking at her silent WeChat, Xiao Shi Yu touched her face and said, ¡°Could it be that my charm has diminished?¡±

    The WeChat notification then sounded all of a sudden. Xiao Shi Yu wasted no time in opening the app, but to her disappointment, the message was not from Zhao Yao, but another male colleague.

    ¡°Shi Yu, congrattions! Heard younded a big deal.¡±

    Xiao Shi Yu frowned and responded, ¡°Yeah.¡±

    ¡°You must be really happy now! Rest well for awhile, but don¡¯t wear yourself out from having too much fun!¡±

    Xiao Shi Yu scowled slightly and replied immediately, ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m going to wash up 88. (Chinese ng for bye)¡±

    And so it was Friday, the day of the transaction. Zhao Yao headed to the transaction center to finalize the administration details and went to the bank afterward to transfer the money.

    This feeling of splurging so much money, it was like piercing Zhao Yao¡¯s skin. After the manager left, Xiao Shi Yu stayed on.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You just bought a huge luxury home, why do you look unhappy?¡± Xiao Shi Yu was not wearing her uniform today, and instead donned a t-shirt and a pair of hot pants. Her white and juicy thighs glistened under the scorching sun, and with her perfectplexion and beautiful powdered face, it gave people a feeling of eternal youth.

    Zhao Yao smiled and replied,¡± Nothing much, have you contacted the movers for me? I intend to move as soon as possible.¡±

    ¡°Yup, how does tomorrow sound? You send me your address!¡± Xiao Shi Yu continued, ¡°How much stuff do you want to bring? Usually, they¡¯ll decide which lorry to drive depending on how much stuff you have.¡±

    ¡°Not much, no furniture. Just some luggage and belongings.¡±

    ¡°Oh, you haven¡¯t bought furniture?¡± Xiao Shi Yu said,¡± Most furniture now contain formaldehyde, you should have bought furniture earlier and let it blow off. It¡¯s not healthy to inhale formaldehyde for long periods of time you know.¡±

    ¡°Oh, is there such a thing?¡± Zhao Yao scratched his head. He was still clueless about this sort of stuff.

    ¡°Of course.¡± Saying that, Xiao Shi Yu went on to push Zhao Yao out of the bank,¡± There¡¯s a furniture warehouse nearby, let¡¯s go together. It¡¯ll be the best if we could order their disy sets, the formaldehyde should have worn off after the disy.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to.¡± Zhao Yao said embarrassedly. ¡°It¡¯ll trouble you so much.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay; I¡¯m on leave these few days anyway.¡± Xiao Shi Uu smiled,¡± You bought this house from me, I haven¡¯t thanked you yet. I¡¯ll help you with the moving and do some work for you.¡±

    Xiao Shi Yu then apanied Zhao Yao to the furniture warehouse to purchase all sorts of furniture, as well as electronics such as television sets.

    For the ensuing days, Xiao Shi Yu assisted Zhao Yao in purchasing furniture, moving, interior design, installing the WIFI, and even hiring a cleaner to clean up the new house together. Through the entire process, Xiao Shi Yu was enthusiastic and excited, resulting in Zhao Yao feeling slightly shy and embarrassed.

    Through this period of hard work, Zhao Yao¡¯s greatest thought was to have a car. Just relying on walking was too tiring, and he also had a carpark entitled to him with the purchase of his house.

    Finally, it was the day of moving in. Zhao Yao walked into the house with his hands filled with his bags. The ce was clean and shiny, and the marvelous spick and span house seemed to be glistening with a wide and weing smile.

    Setting his luggage aside and opening the cat pouch, Zhao Yao looked and Matcha and eximed,¡± Matcha, we¡¯ve arrived at our new house!¡±

    Matcha, however, had a look of slight difort in the cat pouch. He widened his eyes to scan the new house. This look of difort had not been seen on Matcha since he became intelligent.

    Zhao Yao stroked Matcha¡¯s head, and Matcha rubbed himself against Zhao Yao¡¯s hand and let out soft meows.

    Zhao Yao smiled and switched hisptop on. He began surfing the web for automatic cat toilets.

    The mission stated that Matcha had to be given an automatic cat toilet, automatic food and drinks dispenser after moving to the new house. Having settled the moving into the new house, Zhao Yao naturally had to start looking for all these stuff.

    These three items cost Zhao Yao more than RMB 5000. Together with the furniture he bought, electricity, WIFI, movers, and cleaners, Zhao Yao spent over RMB 100 thousand.

    Compared to the million he spent on the house, this hundred thousand did not feel as painful.

    These few days, Matcha has been eating superior cat food, gaining some experience points every day. The current experience points stood at Lv2 (6/100).

    ¡°Not counting the mission, eating three months of superior cat food could result in a level up as well.¡±

    As he was pondering, Zhao Yao looked at Matcha who was cuddling in his arms. His body was curled up and was throbbing slightly. His snowy-white belly was skyward, and he was giving off soft snores. Evidently, he had entered a deep slumber.

    ¡°ording to the web, ordinary cats would adapt to new houses after a few days.¡± Zhao Yao touched Matcha¡¯s white furry belly. Matcha, still asleep, moved slightly, ¡°Hopefully Matcha would adapt soon.¡±

    The next morning, Zhao Yao was woken up by the shrilling doorbell. He rubbed his eyes and raised his head only to see Matcha on his bed with his white belly fully exposed.

    At this moment, the ground rumbled, a hint of an earthquake came about. This is already the fifth time a mini earthquake urred in this period, leaving as fast as they came, without resulting in any disaster.

    Zhao Yao scratched his head, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, why is it that the Earth is rumbling so much, could it be that a huge earthquake ising?¡±

    He then went to the door and realized that the cat toilet had arrived by delivery.

    In these two days, the drink and food dispensers had arrived at his house. Since Matcha was sleeping with him, he ced both dispensers in his room.

    Finally, he could fill all of Matcha¡¯s needs into the dispenser once a week. There¡¯s no need to get water and food for Matcha every day, to be woken up by Matcha¡¯s cries of hunger at 4 am in the morning, or even by the sound of Matcha struggling with the packaging of his foodte at night when he was sleeping.

    The cat toilet which arrived today can further assist Zhao Yao of his duties, liberating him from cleaning up Matcha¡¯s mess daily.

    Opening the package and seeing different parts of the toilet, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes began to glow with anticipation.

    ¡°I finally don¡¯t have to clean up Matcha¡¯s feces anymore.¡±

    Thinking of his experiences of cleaning up Matcha¡¯s waste in the past year, having to withstand the pungent smell, as well as the many inconveniences it brought him, Zhao Yao stared gratefully at the automatic cat toilet, as if looking at an angel.

    Zhao Yao then started assembling the toilet without hesitation.

    This automatic cat toilet had to be connected to a water inlet and outlet, which was why Zhao Yao ced it in an actual bathroom. Anyway, the toilet wasrge enough for this cat toilet. Themon toilet was fifteen square meters, and even the bedroom toilet was at least seven square meters.

    Having connected the inlet and outlet, he connected the electricity, attached the cleaning device and litter box. The entire toilet could be assembled, and it worked in parts to clean the cat¡¯s waste.

    The litterbox could clean up waste efficiently by separating the cat¡¯s waste and by using water and cleaning agents to wash and dry.

    Halfway through assembling, Matcha woke up and looked around curiously, his gaze focusing on the automatic cat toilet.

    ¡°This is the automatic cat toilet.¡±

    ¡°It looks like a spaceship.¡±

    Once the toilet was assembled, Matcha rushed into it excitedly. With its tail high up, and body vibrating, he released his first ever pile of feces into the toilet.

    Zhao Yao and Matcha silently stood in front of the toilet and stared curiously at the toilet as it sprung into action.

    Seeing the toilet crush a big piece of feces into smithereens and disposing of it, Matcha eximed, ¡°How impressive.¡±

    Following that was the process of washing up, scrubbing and drying of the toilet automatically.

    When everything waspleted, the interior of the cat toilet was good as new, and it looked exactly like how it was before Matcha used it.

    Matcha, wanting to test it, walked into the toilet and ced his paw onto the already clean litterbox, revealing a face of satisfaction.

    ¡°Never have to be afraid of stepping of feces anymore.¡±

    ¡°Never have to clean up anymore.¡±

    Zhao Yao also showed an expression of satisfaction. He was, of course, d that he will never have to clean up Matcha¡¯s waste again.

    Meanwhile, the book in his brain let off a soft notification, signifying that the mission was aplished.

    However, as soon as the mission of moving waspleted, another notification sounded, and a new mission had arrived.

 Chapter 13: New Mission and the Haunted House

    <h4>Chapter 13: New Mission and the Haunted House</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Afterpleting the mission, the contents of the book in Zhao Yao¡¯s brain changed:

    Book: Lv1(20/100)

    Pet(1/1): Matcha

    Grade: Lv2 (9/100)

    Loyalty: 100

    Ability: Timefreeze, ability duration 6 seconds, cooldown time 6 seconds

    Book gained an extra 20 experience points due to thepletion of the mission. Matcha also had nine experience points because of the superior food over this period.

    However, just as hepleted the mission of moving, another new mission surfaced.

    Mission: New supercat

    Objective: A good environment and luxury food is only a small step towards getting stronger. This world has countless of supercats awaiting your capture. Capture a supercat by midnight next week. (0/1)

    Mission Reward: 30 experience points

    Mission Failure: Deduction of 20 experience points and unable to gain any experience points for the next six months

    Seeing the mission in front of him, Zhao Yao understood that this was a mission he could not resist. What surprised him the most, however, was the message that came under the objective.

    ¡°Matcha is not the only supercat in this world?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s face was full of astonishment. He always thought that Matcha was the only special cat in the world, but it seemed like he waspletely wrong.

    Zhao Yao thought immediately, ¡°Then other people; some might be like me. Some might possess this book, toplement the abilities of supercats?¡±

    At this moment, he naturally did not know how many people enjoyed and made use of these abilities. However, the possession of the book ability belonged solely to him.

    Zhao Yao sat on the sofa and organized his thoughts.

    ¡°There might be other supercats, but with my years of experience with games andics, having the ability to freeze time, out of all other abilities, must be the best ability of all.¡±

    ¡°So it seems like I¡¯ll have a huge advantage against most of the supercats out there.¡±

    With that thought lingering at the back of his head, Zhao Yao finally calmed himself down.

    ¡°Just one week to catch a supercat, this time is too short. Jiangmen city is so huge, how do I find a supercat?¡±

    After thinking for a moment, Zhao Yao had some ideas in his head.

    ¡°Once supercats bes intelligible, they¡¯ll be speaking innocently like kids initially. They might, because of this, cause somemotion in where they are.¡±

    Thinking of this, Zhao Yao understood how he could find them.

    ¡°Look up on some online discussion forums, and see if there are any weird urrencestely.¡±

    ¡°Also, catching a supercat. It mighte to a battle; I¡¯d better bring some weapons?¡±

    After thinking through what potential weapons he had, it was impossible for him to get a gun in China. So all he thought of, after thinking hard, was a small knife, much like a dagger. Something that he could easily hide and used with ease.

    Anyway, once he stopped time, any weapon he used could have a devastating effect. It was then all the more important to hide the weapon.

    Hence Zhao Yao went onto TaoBao searching for a dagger. Not knowing much about weapons, he searched by price and bought two small knives which cost about 3000RMB.

    Pondering further, Zhao Yao also searched for some heavy duty nylon rope.

    After all, knives and simr weapons would cause too much harm. Without much experience, he could identally kill whoever he was up against. So Zhao Yao decided to buy a coil of rope, such that he could tie whoever he was up against after freezing time.

    He asked the TaoBao seller if the rope could withstand pulls and struggles. Although he wasn¡¯t sure of its durability, it should be enough to tie and hold someone in ce.

    Then, to defend himself against the attacks of supercats, such as bites or scratches, Zhao Yao purchased a set of cut-resistanttex suit. Although he did not know how effective it was against supercats, Zhao Yao thought that it would at least be better than wearing a normal set of clothes.

    Afterpleting all this, Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t think of anything else he missed out, and he went on to search for weird urrences in Jiangmen city online.

    ...

    Five dayster, in Jiangmen city, outside a mansion in the town area, a group of four youngsters had their phones up and were pointing their cameras at this residential area.

    One of the girls looked exceptionally charming. Despite wearing just a white t-shirt and jeans, her beauty still managed to shine through it. Especially the swell in her chest, which was significantly attractive.

    The young girl was called Jin Jia Jia, a year two student at Jiangmen City Drama Academy. Frequently seen on gaming streams doing announcements andmentary, she was gaining poprity for a quick buck.

    After all, being in the Drama Academy, she was influenced by others into wearing branded wear, makeup, and skin care essories.

    Jin Jia Jia was unwilling to ept help from strangers, preferring to seed through her ability and sheer hard work.

    And today she was with her three friends, exploring this so-called haunted house.

    Jin Jia Jia then excitedly spoke to her phone¡¯s live transmission, ¡°Everyone, today we are here at this building, and apparently it was specially designed by a French businessman with more than 80 years of historical significance.¡±

    While speaking, Jin Jia Jia pulled out a photograph. On the photograph was a speck of white shadow floating along the grey walls of the mansion.

    ¡°A week ago, nearby residents caught this image at night. Our purpose today is to find out what exactly is in this image.¡±

    After a lengthy introduction, the live stream continued to attract an increasing number of people.

    Although Jin Jia Jia was extremely aesthetically appealing, because of her rtively new forage into live streams, she usually had about 10000 people following her streams.

    Meanwhile, the title <<The Exploration of Jiangmen City¡¯s Haunted House>> continued to attract hordes of people and it was 20000 and counting. Seeing so many hits, Jin Jia Jia revealed a charming smile on her face.

    With Jin Jia Jia¡¯s photo as well as her description, together with the background of her stream, a dark and sinister background, the numbers on her stream continued to increase uncontrobly.

    Seeing that her views had exceeded 20000, she felt that themotion and attention were sufficient. Jin Jia Jia introduced her three friends alongside her, two of which were her old friends, a guy, and a girl. Beside her, they looked boringly ordinary.

    Thest guy in her group, however, looked rather suave. He donned branded casual wear, and he was the owner of this house, Xiao Ming.

    Seeing the lens directed at him, Xiao Ming smiled and waved, ¡°Hi everyone, I¡¯m the owner of the house, Xiao Ming.¡±

    ¡°Wow, does the tycoon need leg hair?¡±

    ¡°Worship the tycoon.¡±

    ¡°Have a lunch meeting with the mayor, can only let my son show everyone the house.¡±

    ¡°Wow the mansions here, they must cost at least 100 million.¡±

    Seeing the forum explode with all sorts ofments, Xiao Ming¡¯s lips curled into a slight smile. Coming from a wealthy family, he had absolutely no interest in being an online celebrity.

    The sole reason for his willingness to show everyone his house today was to impress Jin Jia Jia.

    As to this beautiful young woman with a body to kill for, he had an intense feeling in his heart ever since the first time he saw her.

    However, after a conversation, he knew that Jin Jia Jia wasn¡¯t like any of the other girls he used to spend time with. Those girls could be easily manipted with money and would do anything for his money. This gradual rtionship with Jin Jia Jia gave a weird sense of aplishment to Xiao Ming, making him feel good about himself.

    After the introduction, the group of them walked towards the mansion.

    As the mansion¡¯s renovation stopped halfway, there was dirt, soil, metal and bricks all over the ce.

    Also, there was no electricity, and the entire ce was pitch-ck, giving off an ominous and sinister vibe.

    Jin Jia Jia switched her torchlight on and walked towards the interior of the mansion.

    The group of four explored the garden, bumped into a few rats, but did not see anything out of the ordinary.

    After some time, the group of four entered the main building.

    Once they entered the first floor of the mansion, they saw a patch of white shadow shing past them. Screaming, her female friend ran out of the mansion.

    The remaining three people did not have time to react, and Jin Jia Jia¡¯s torchlight pointed at a dark patch.

    Jin Jia Jia was evidently taken aback, and asked cautiously, ¡°Who are you?¡±

    There was no reply, and the body, who was under the light of her torchlight, disappeared in front of everyone¡¯s eyes at the very next instant.

    Her male friend and Xiao Ming had a back full of cold sweat. It was at this moment when a scream came from the second floor. The forum erupted, with all sorts of disbelief and exims.

    Her male friend couldn¡¯t withstand it anymore, and like his girlfriend ran out of the mansion in fear.

    Xiao Ming felt his heartbeat stabilize, thinking offorting Jin Jia Jia, who he was alone with. However, he noticed that her gaze was fixated on the second floor.

    ¡°Gogogo, let¡¯s go up quick, don¡¯t let him escape.¡±

    Seeing Jin Jia Jia¡¯s determined disposition, Xiao Ming could only follow unwillingly behind Jin Jia Jia, as he had no other choice.

    The two of them climbed up the stairs cautiously, but just as they went onto the stairs, they noticed a blurry ck shadow nearby, and it looked like the silhouette of a person. However, above its shoulder, it seemed like there were two shadows of heads as if it was a two-headed person.

 Chapter 14: White Flash

    <h4>Chapter 14: White sh</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Having seen the weird silhouette unexpectedly, Xiao Ming¡¯s heart slowed down all of a sudden. It was instead Jin Jia Jia¡¯s whose reflex was quicker, immediately directing her torchlight at the silhouette.

    It was at this moment that they realized it wasn¡¯t a twin-headed person, but a regr teenager, with a cat on his shoulder.

    Zhao Yao squinted his eyes and blocked out the torchlight directed at him, asking, ¡°Who are you? Why are you here?¡±

    He had followed onlinemotion in the past few days and looked for strange ces, but he never found any supercats. Unfortunately, this mansion was his fourth exploration destination.

    The next night was the deadline for the mission.

    Zhao Yao was slightly anxious at the moment. He would be in some trouble if he still could notfind a supercat here.

    Matcha liedzily on his shoulder, with a look of restlessness.

    Matcha transmitted a message telepathically to Zhao Yao, ¡°Zhao Yao, when are we going back? I haven¡¯t yed Mobile Legends today. The daily mission is about to start soon at 9.¡±

    Zhao Yao brought Matcha here on purpose. After all, although time freeze was extremely powerful, he was afraid that he might not be able to react to a sudden attack and it was better to bring Matcha with him.

    Ultimately, apart from the ability, Zhao Yao was an ordinary human. Hence, he had to bring Matcha as a sort of insurance if he couldn¡¯t use his power in time.

    Hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s question, Xiao Ming seemed unhappy, and replied with some hostility, ¡°Who are you? This is my house, why did you sneak in?¡±

    Zhao Yao was dumbfounded. He did not expect to bump into the owner here, and there was a moment of awkwardness. However, he thought quickly on the spot and replied, ¡°You should leave. First, there¡¯s a problem here. There¡¯s something supernatural and hostile here; I followed it all the way here to catch it.¡±

    ¡°A problem? I think you¡¯re the problem.¡± Xiao Ming coldly sniggered, ¡°This is private property; please leave immediately.¡± If it had really been a ghost, Xiao Ming would have fled immediately. Against a person, however, he was not at all nervous.

    Jin Jia Jia, on the other hand, asked Zhao Yao curiously, ¡°Are you sure there¡¯s a ghost here? How do you know?¡±

    At this moment, the numbers on the live stream had exceeded 100 thousand,ing to a point in which Jin Jia Jia had never achieved.

    ¡°Jia Jia, ask him if there¡¯s anything on the second floor.¡±

    ¡°Ask him about the sound just now.¡±

    ¡°Actor.¡±

    ¡°Everyone, this is really not an act. I have never resorted to looking for actors.¡± Jin Jia Jia replied while looking at the forum, ¡°The sound just now, did you hear it?¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head, ¡°It was that thing making that noise.¡± He reiterated, ¡°You should leave soon, that thing is very powerful, if ites, I won¡¯t be able to take care of you.¡±

    Seeing that he was being neglected, Xiao Ming frowned and knitted his brows. The man in front of him looked average, dressed in ordinary clothes, and looked just like a regr university student. How could he be a ghost hunter?

    Anyway, being at his mansion at such a weird timing, this guy might have an undisclosable secret.

    Xiao Ming took out his phone immediately, ¡°Are you going to leave or not? I¡¯m going to call the police if you still don¡¯t.¡±

    Jin Jia Jia¡¯s eyes carried a tinge of suspicion and doubt as well. After all, Zhao Yao didn¡¯t seem like any ghost hunter. It was indeed very suspicious that he was here in the middle of the night.

    Zhao Yao didn¡¯t reply. He merely looked at Jin Jia Jia¡¯s phone and asked, ¡°You¡¯re broadcasting?¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡± Jin Jia Jia nodded her head slightly, ¡°I heard there were ghost sightings here, so I brought my friends here to explore.¡±

    At this moment, another shriek was heard. It sounded as if it was right beside their ears, and it sounded as if it was full of hatred and evil. Goosebumps could arise just by hearing it alone.

    Jin Jia Jia turned her camera and torchlight at the direction of the sound immediately. Under the shine of her torchlight, a two meter-long white fox was crawling near the wall, with bloodshot eyes ring at them.

    Seeing the sudden appearance of this white fox, Jin Jia Jia and Xiao Ming found it harder to breathe. Zhao Yao, on the other hand, activated his ability and rushed forward.

    After taking a step, however, he turned around and flipped the camera over in Jin Jia Jia¡¯s hand. He wasted no time in dashing towards the white fox after that.

    In the eyes of Jin Jia Jia and Xiao Ming, they saw a sh from Zhao Yao¡¯s body, and the next thing they saw was Zhao Yao appearing in front of the white fox. It felt as if there was a sudden burst of numerous shings, the walls and white fox and some random objects turned into dust all of a sudden.

    ¡°Swordy!¡± Jin Jia Jia shrieked, and her eyes glowed in the next moment.

    Naturally, she did not know that Zhao Yao made use of his time freeze and shed at the fox with his dagger. At that moment, Zhao Yao was a powerful man without an equal in Jin Jia Jia¡¯s eyes.

    Xiao Ming, at the other side, was shocked as well. Hepletely did not expect to see such a series of events unfold in front of his eyes.

    However, the fox disappeared into the air instantly after being struck by the sword and appeared shortly after at the other corner of the room.

    The fox wasughing mockingly at Zhao Yao, apparently unhurt.

    Matcha was taken aback, ¡°What¡¯s this thing made of? A devil fox?¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°I feel, does this feel like an illusion? Compared to when we were downstairs when we cut it, there¡¯s no feeling at all.¡±

    Zhao Yao had arrived at the mansion earlier than Jin Jia Jia and her friends. He faced the fox when he was on the first floor. Initially nning to use his rope to suppress the fox, he found out that it was ineffective, and used his knife to cut it, to no effect as well.

    At this point, Zhao Yao was eighty percent sure that the fox wasn¡¯t a real physical body.

    While it was just a duel between Zhao Yao and the fox, Jin Jia Jia viewed this scene from the side, trembling but looking on with excitement in her eyes.

    Xiao Ming had a look of amazement in his eyes and trembled to Zhao Yao¡¯s side.

    Zhao Yao, without much time to entertain Xiao Ming, eximed, ¡°What are you doing here? It¡¯s dangerous, leave now.¡±

    Xiao Ming¡¯s expression, however, was weird. His eyes were repeatedly blinking as if he was trying to hint something.

    The next moment, he dashed towards Zhao Yao with a fist, punching his neck.

    Xiao Ming, being from a wealthy family, trains his physique regrly. One punch of a full strength from Xiao Ming mighte to devastating effect.

    Just as he released his punch, Matcha activated the ability. In the moments of silence, Zhao Yao kicked Xiao Ming in the stomach once, twice and then thrice...

    When time resumed at the next moment, in the eyes of Jin Jia Jia and Xiao Ming, just as Xiao Ming released his punch, his entire body seemed to be hit by an invisible force, and he flew back a few meters.

    Just as he flew backward, a loud scream sounded above them.

    ¡°Up above!¡±

    Zhao Yao and Matcha raised their heads immediately. Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t see clearly, but Matcha managed to make out a white sh, like a silhouette, on a pir amidst the darkness.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, above the pir!¡±

    Zhao Yao flung his hand and threw a dagger towards that direction. With his level of aiming, however, he missed naturally.

    This action, however, also caught the sh by surprise. It instinctively jumped down, speeding towards the ground. Once itnded, it dashed towards the door. Just as it started moving down the stairs, time froze.

    Zhao Yao ran out of the door and finally managed to catch a glimpse of the white sh.

 Chapter 15: Ragdoll

    <h4>Chapter 15: Ragdoll</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    It was an incredibly adorable and sweet kitty. Significantly bigger than Matcha, it had tufts of white fur on its body, and because its fur was too long, it seemed like it was wearing a scarf around its neck.

    There were pale grey spots on its head, and its pink nose and mouth were close together, giving others a cute and sassy impression. Its pair of blue eyes seemed clear as a crystal, but it revealed a sliver of panic.

    As this cat looked extremely special, Zhao Yao recognized it immediately.

    ¡°It¡¯s a ragdoll ...¡±

    Ragdolls were a breed developed in the recent decade. Simply put, its outstanding features were its more massive physique, longer fur, beautiful features, and shared intimate rtions with people. They were often hailed as the dogs of the cats, and naturally, they were costly, ranging from tens of thousands of dors to a hundred thousand.

    Zhao Yao did not expect such a ragdoll to awaken and activate its unique ability.

    Zhao Yao dashed out of the room in two seconds, down the stairs to the side of the ragdoll with three seconds. The remaining one second was only sufficient for Zhao Yao to whip out his rope and go one round around the ragdoll. Time, then, once again resumed.

    Almost immediately after time resumed, a loud scream was heard. That loud, painful cry came from the ragdoll right in front of Zhao Yao.

    It suddenly became clear that the previous screams actually came from this ragdoll.

    At this instant, following the scream, Zhao Yao felt his body sink. It felt as if he had lost control of himself.

    He saw therge blue eyes of the ragdoll cat emit a red light, staring intently at Zhao Yao. He felt as if a foreign and strong consciousness immersed itself into his brain, controlling his body for him.

    His two hands released the rope, but Zhao Yao could only watch as his body resisted his control.

    At this moment, Macha appeared with a loud meow, one paw smacking onto the ragdoll¡¯s head. Following that, a few rapid punches from his left and right pawsnded on the ragdoll¡¯s face.

    How much damage dealt was yet to be known, but it undoubtedly enraged the ragdoll, and it red at Macha murderously.

    A clear, pure voice which sounded like a little girl floated in the minds of Zhao Yao and Macha, ¡°You dare hit my face?¡±

    Matcha meowed and jumped onto the ragdoll¡¯s back, ¡°I¡¯ll rape you if you refuse to stop!¡±

    This enraged the ragdoll. A pair of diamond-like eyes squinted narrowly, much like a needle, ¡°I want to bite you to death!¡±

    The next moment, Zhao Yao, under her control, kicked Matcha. Matcha could only jump backward to dodge it. Zhao Yao chased andnded a fury of kicks on Matcha. Matcha might have put on some weight recently, but jumping and dodging were easy, as they were a cat¡¯s instincts. This led to Zhao Yao missing all of his kicks.

    Just when the ragdoll wanted to continue to use Zhao Yao to attack Matcha, the cooldown time of six seconds had passed. Time freeze could be activated again, and the whole world stopped.

    Once time froze, Zhao Yao found that he had gone back to normal, and he could control himself again.

    Evidently, when time froze, the opponent¡¯s ability was stopped as well.

    He charged up, whipped out his rope and within the short span of six seconds, he tied up the head, neck and four limbs of the ragdoll.

    Worried that the opponent would use that weird ability anytime, Zhao Yao did not care if his 6 seconds had expired. He continued to go rounds around the ragdoll using the heavy-duty rope.

    ¡°She stared at me with her eyes and I was under her control. Was her power activated through sight?¡±

    ¡°And that scream, did she control me through sound?¡±

    The more pressing the situation, the calmer Zhao Yao was. The scenes from the previous battle resurfaced, floating in his brain.

    Hence the ragdoll¡¯s mouth was wrapped up, and so were her eyes. Her entire body was pushed against the floor, and she could not even move.

    Only when the rope was exhausted did Zhao Yao realized that many seconds had passed since time resumed.

    Seeing that the ragdoll was wrapped like a mummy on the floor, Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, as she was restrained, she could not use her abilities freely. It also seemed like she couldn¡¯t control two targets at once. Although the limits of her abilities were unknown, it seemed like Zhao Yao was sessful in preventing the ragdoll from using her ability.

    ¡°Let me go!¡±

    ¡°How dare you tie me up?¡±

    I¡¯ll bite all of you to death when I¡¯m out!¡±

    The crisp and pure voice of a girl sounded in Zhao Yao¡¯s head relentlessly. Matcha walked towards it, nose directed at the butt of the ragdoll and started sniffing intensely.

    ¡°You! How dare you! How dare you do this sort of stuff!¡±

    Realising that her butt was being sniffed, the ragdoll was furious.

    Cats were actually very independent. Even when living in amunity, the territory would always be clear and demarcated.

    When it came to a thing like smelling a butt, it was often the superior cat who did this to the inferior cat. Matcha¡¯s actions obviously caused the ragdoll to feel vited.

    Matcha licked his lips, ¡°A female as well. Say, what is your ability.¡±

    The ragdoll was silent. Her eyes were filled with rage.

    Zhao Yao saw his mission panel and realized that the mission had yet to bepleted.

    It was then when Jin Jia Jia and Xiao Ming rushed down. The two stared at Zhao Yao astonishingly, with a sense of shock, worship, fear and manyplicated emotions in their eyes.

    Even after being kicked by Zhao Yao numerous times, Xiao Ming saw Zhao Yao in a different light; all he had for Zhao Yao was respect, there was not a single tinge of anger in his eyes.

    He said to Zhao Yao gratefully, ¡°Master, thanks for saving me just now. I felt like a ghost possessed me.¡±

    Jin Jia Jia asked curiously, ¡°Master, where did that thing run off to? What did you catch? Can you show it to us?¡± She had shifted her gaze to the bundle of wrapped up fur on the floor upon saying that.

    Zhao Yao stayed silent and slung the ragdoll over his back, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. That thing has been caught by me. It¡¯s safe here; I¡¯ll make my move too.¡±

    Saying that he turned around and left. Seeing Zhao Yao leave the mansion, Jin Jia Jia and Xiao Ming chased after him. However, just as they walked across the main door, their eyes gazed across the garden, without a sight of Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao had stopped time earlier on and left the mansion immediately.

    Seeing the empty garden, Xiao Ming sighed, ¡°Gone like the wind, no wonder he¡¯s a higher being.¡± He no longer had his mind set on Jin Jia jia, his mind filled with thoughts of his previous mysterious encounter.

    Jin Jia Jia looked towards her camera agitatedly and said, ¡°Everyone you guys saw...¡±

    ¡°Huh? Why is my camera reversed?¡±

    ¡°You guys didn¡¯t see anything that just happened?¡±

    Only now did Jin Jia Jia managed to calm herself down and realized that her camera was reversed. The camera was focused on her face since the start of the stream, and the fight between Zhao Yao and the ragdoll was not recorded.

    ¡°Still thought this would go viral on the web, why did I not capture anything?¡±

    Her face, at this point in time, was full of confusion and annoyance.

    Carrying the ragdoll with one hand and Matcha on his back, Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t stop thinking about the fight that just urred as he walked the city alley.

    ¡°Yeah, I guess I was too careless for not expecting such bizarre power. Had I not brought Matcha along, it would have been disastrous.¡±

    ¡°And this face ...¡± A thought sprung to his mind as Zhao Yao touched his face. ¡°It would be better for me to hide this face of mine. I can¡¯t risk exposing my own identity. I got lucky today as the camera didn¡¯t manage to capture my face.¡±

    ¡°Then again, I was seen by two people. Nah, It shouldn¡¯t be too much of a problem.¡±

    Although Jin Jia Jia and Xiao Ming had a glimpse of his power, they didn¡¯t manage to capture it on film. Anyway, they wouldn¡¯t be able to convince other people to believe their words.

    After reflecting on his mistake, Zhao Yao turned his eyes to look at the cat he was carrying. Although it managed to grab hold of its target, the mission panel didn¡¯t register the mission as a sess.

    Zhao Yao carefully examined the contents of the mission panel, and asked with a gentle voice, ¡°Huh, ept? Let me think about it. ¡±

    ¡°Hello, do you understand what I¡¯m talking about?¡± Zhao Yao questioned as he ced the ragdoll on the floor.

    The ragdoll refused to talk. Instead, she replied with a cold snort.

    ¡°Hi, I¡¯m Zhao Yao.¡± Zhao Yao tried again to get a reply. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±

    The ragdoll merely swayed her tail, refusing to reply.

    Zhao Yao asked again, ¡± If you still refuse to talk, I can only keep you tied up and locked up. I¡¯m sure you don¡¯t want that to happen right?..¡±

    It couldn¡¯t be any more silent. At this moment, Matcha said as he licked his lips rapidly, ¡°Meowhaha, you know what Zhao Yao? Leave this to me! I¡¯ll be sure to get an answer from her. ¡±

    He was just about to go over, but was stopped dead in his tracks as Zhao Yao grabbed him back, ¡°Don¡¯t even try, you dirty cat.¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at his camera, only to realize that it was almost 10 pm and that they were even closer to the deadline. Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t help but frown and asked the ragdoll yet again, ¡°Hey hmmm little girl.... look, my friend of mine here can¡¯t hold it in anymore, and it¡¯s getting impossible for me to stop him. Last week, he didn¡¯t even spare a poor little three-month-old male cat. The blood. Let¡¯s just say it couldn¡¯t stop flowing. Oh, my lord. If you are going to keep on acting like this and refuse to talk, I¡¯m gonna to have to let my friend do as he wishes.¡±

    Matcha rolled his eyes and shot Zhao Yao a look of disdain.

    On the other hand, the ragdoll started shivering a little upon hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s words.

    Zhao Yao pushed on, ¡°You know it could actually be a good thing. When the timees, and you be a mother of a baby, you can join us to be part of our family. We would have loads and loads of babies...¡±

    ¡°Enough.¡± The ragdoll finally opened her mouth to speak. ¡°My name¡¯s Elizabeth.¡±

    ¡°Indeed, I am simr to Matcha. We canmunicate through a subconscious telepathic medium. Could it be the power of the book?¡±

    Zhao Yao grinned and asked, ¡°So what¡¯s your power?¡±

    Elizabeth hesitated for a moment but eventually gave in, ¡°Illusion.¡±

    ¡°Oh, I see...¡± Zhao Yao nodded to himself as he finally understood what just happened.

    Elizabeth asked, ¡°What do you want? ¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed, decided to bepletely honest, and announced, ¡± I guess you have been awakened for some time? Then you should understand this as well. In this world, we humans are the dominant race. If your power was ever discovered by an evil man, I¡¯m afraid that you would have to endure all sorts of mistreatment in the form of experimentation and confinement or worse still, who knows if they may even perform an anatomy on you. It¡¯s time for you to make the best choice ¡ª that is to hide in my house. You won¡¯t have to use your powers to survive and risk being exposed. You have seen what we can do, it would be more than enough to protect you.¡±

    It was undeniable that the ragdoll had witnessed the power of Zhao Yao and Matcha. Though it was difficult to understand the principles behind it, the suddenness and mysteriousness of such happenings had left her in fear.

    However, even upon hearing what Zhao Yao said, Elizabeth mocked, ¡°Huh! You want me to stay in your house? As for what? Your toy?¡±

    Zhao Yao froze for a split second, but answered, ¡°No that¡¯s not it, as a friend. ¡±

    ¡°In that case, please remove the rope from your friend¡¯s head. ¡±

    Zhao Yao thought about it and replied, ¡°You should understand that you cannot outfight the both of us. I can remove your rope, but if you do anything rashly, it would be hard for me to trust you again. ¡±

    It seems like she could only control one person at a time. If there was anything strange about Zhao Yao or Matcha, they could instantly activate time freeze to regain control of each other. Hence Zhao Yao decided to undo the ropes on Elizabeth¡¯s head anyway.

    Elizabeth finally let out a sigh of relief, and as she looked up to see Zhao Yao together with Matcha on his shoulder. She shot the both of them a disdainful look.

    For the first time, Matcha had a good look at Elizabeth¡¯s charmingly cute face. Matcha grinned to himself and whispered to Zhao Yao, ¡°Zhao Yao, she¡¯s adorable.¡±

    Zhao Yao made a quickparison between Matcha and Elizabeth in his head. It was as if a block of soap standing 1.6m tall was right next to a Victoria¡¯s Secret Model who was 1.8m tall. He shook his head and answered, ¡°My friend, you two do not match.¡±

    ¡°How is that so?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid you¡¯re just not good enough for her.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Elizabeth and asked her with a dispirited Matcha on his shoulder, ¡°What do you say?¡±

    Elizabeth replied, ¡°I can promise you, but I would like to ask two favors from you...¡±

    Just as she finished her sentence, a mouthful of crimson-red blood gushed out of Elizabeth¡¯s mouth.

    Zhao Yao frantically yelled, ¡°Hey!! Why is there blooding out of your mouth? ¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao! What have you done to her!?¡± Matcha bellowed, ¡°Did you injure her just now!?¡±

    Zhao Yao retorted, ¡°When did I ever hit her!? It was you all right!¡±

    While the two argued, Elizabeth quickly wiped her mouth with her paw and spoke, ¡°It¡¯s nothing much guys, and my stomach hasn¡¯t been very well these days. It isn¡¯t easy to find cat food that is healthy; this happens asionally. ¡±

    Zhao Yao gave a worried look and suddenly recalled something. He remembered that as he was flipping through some files, he read that ragdolls were good in most aspects. However, their only problem was that it had a poorly functioning stomach which easily led to indigestion and could cause stomach problems. And obviously, as a stray cat, Elizabeth must have suffered from a bad diet.

    Elizabeth seemed indifferent to what just happened. Instead, she swayed her tail and pointed in a direction. ¡°Let¡¯s return to the vi.¡±

    Following Elizabeth¡¯s lead, they weaved through the alleys and returned to the vi.

    It seemed like Jin Jia Jia, and Xiao Ming had long left the ce. Zhao Yao opened the door to the basement, and in the midst of the darkness, he saw with his very eyes, many pairs of greenish-golden eyes ring right straight at him.

    As his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he could slowly see many cats of different sizes and colors hiding right in the basement. Upon Matcha and Elizabeth¡¯s appearance, the cats panicked and instantly scurried to hide, leaving three baby kittens circling Zhao Yao¡¯s legs as they purred relentlessly.

    ¡°This is...¡± Zhao Yao said to himself.

    Elizabeth spoke in a calm and abnormal voice, ¡°They are all stray cats, ditched by humans and left to fend for themselves. They were once raised by an old granny, but two months ago she fell terribly sick and was brought back to live together with her children. The cats were then left to fend for themselves with no one to take care of them. Pfft..¡±

    And as she finished her sentence, another mouthful of blood spurted out of Elizabeth¡¯s mouth yet again. Zhao Yao anxiously responded, ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to visit the vet first beforeing over?¡±

    Elizabeth licked her mouth and stubbornly replied, ¡°I¡¯m perfectly fine, let¡¯s just do something about these poor cats first. A city is a dangerous ce for stray cats. There are hazards everywhere ¡ª cars, electrical wires, toxic substances and animal abusers that can easily kill them at any moment. I had no choice but to hide them here, finding every way to make sure that they have enough food to eat. Sometimes, we attract unwanted attention from humans, and I have to scare them away with all my might. ¡±

    As Elizabeth spoke, she stared intently into Zhao Yao with her diamond-like eyes, ¡°Take care of them and help them settle down, this is my first request.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 17: Stray Cat</h4>

    Zhao Yao stared intently at the dozen and a half helpless yet extremely leery stray cats in his basement and thought to himself as he stroked his chin, ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be a problem for me to raise this dozen of stray cats based on my financial ability, but the problem lies with Elizabeth. I¡¯m not too sure what her standards of ¡®settling down¡¯ are.¡±

    Zhao Yao suddenly remembered that the mission deadline was drawing near. ¡°The deadline for the mission is tomorrow. It¡¯s already 10 pm which means that we only have 25 hours left from now until tomorrow midnight.¡±

    ¡°If we do notplete this mission, we would not be able to gain experience in 6 months.¡±

    ¡°We have to hurry.¡±

    With this in mind, Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t help but begun to feel more and more anxious.

    He looked at Elizabeth and questioned, ¡± So... about ¡®settling down¡¯... do you have any requests?¡±

    Elizabeth lowered her head and mumbled, ¡°Well... you could either ensure that they eat and drink enough to live healthily, or you could help them find a loving and willing owner to raise them.¡±

    ¡°Alright, understood. I can promise you this at the very least.¡± Zhao Yao replied as he nodded. ¡°I will raise them back at my home first. But what¡¯s your second condition? ¡±

    Upon hearing this, Matcha turned into a ball of fury and shrieked into Zhao Yao¡¯s mind, ¡°Zhao Yao, are you kidding me now? You are gonna let these smelly, reeking bunch into our house?¡±

    A thought suddenly shed through Zhao Yao¡¯s mind. Cats were territorial animals and were thus very defensive of their territory. Unless they were raised together as a group, cats were usually extremely hostile towards new members that just joined the pack.

    Some of them would growl incessantly; others would physically injure new members. Some might even stop eating or drinking. They would hide in a corner and refused to budge, and became increasingly gloomy.

    The addition of a single new member could already lead to serious repercussions, let alone a dozen of them.

    Zhao Yao replied with a reassuring tone, ¡°Rx; they will only be there temporarily. Besides, they would only take up an entire room for themselves. I will help them find their owners.¡± He was only left with a measly 25 hours ¡ª he had to do whatever it took to make Elizabeth agree to the terms.

    Matcha remained hopping mad. ¡°In that case, what are we gonna do with their poop and urine? It won¡¯t take long before the entire room stinks with their stench and their fur.¡±

    ¡°Rest assured. We will make sure that they stay in the room and only that room.¡± Zhao Yao looked down at the three little kittens which had been circling his legs all this time like a whirlpool. Surprisingly, one of them was a grey British Shorthair ¡ª its unique grey fur stood out from the pack. With its perfectly rounded big eyes, it stared at Zhao Yao curiously.

    British Shorthairs were considered a popr breed of cats and were priced from a few grand to tens of thousands.

    Zhao Yao turned to look at Elizabeth and sighed, ¡± Even British shorthairs and ragdolls have turned into stray cats... Your owner must have been pretty rich.¡±

    Elizabeth replied, ¡°I left for the streets on my own. As for Mango...¡± She nced into the British Shorthair¡¯s warm-looking eyes. ¡°She probably lost her way back while running blindly away. ¡± As she spoke, she coughed out another mouthful of blood.

    Zhao Yao frantically reacted, ¡°Hey, this won¡¯t do. Let¡¯s rush you to the nearest vet right now, shall we? I¡¯m afraid that you might lose your life anytime.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± She spat out another mouthful of blood when she said that. Zhao Yao became extremely worried that Elizabeth might lose her life. ¡°Bring the stray cats to the vets first. I assume you were nning to bring them to the vet as well too, right?¡±

    ¡°Got it, I¡¯ll do as you say.¡± Zhao Yao nodded his head and went straight to g a cab to fetch the cats to the vet. However, cab after cab went by and none of them were willing to bring along that many stray cats.

    The clock continued to tick, and they had almost waited for half an hour. Zhao Yao became increasingly restless as the time left for the mission continued to shorten.

    As Zhao Yao gged down the fourth cab, he instantlyy out his offer to the cabbie. ¡°I¡¯ll give you a thousand if you would bring this bunch of stray cats to the vet.¡± The cabbie agreed, needless to say, and rushed to the vet.

    Three kittens, 15 adult cats, together with Elizabeth and Matcha. A total of 20 cats were being sent to Starry Starry Pet Hospital by Zhao Yao.

    The nurse stared in awe as 20 purring cats were brought to the hospital and eximed, ¡°Mister, what.... what is happening here? I¡¯m sorry, but we do not take in stray cats.¡±

    Zhao Yao went straight to the point and said, ¡°I¡¯m not here for that purpose. I want to raise them all, and I need your help. Please give these cats a proper screening and perhaps some medication and vination.¡±

    ¡°That many?¡± The nurse shockingly replied, ¡°I wish I could, but we have limited manpower, and the doctor has already left work.¡±

    ¡°Then call him back here.¡± Zhao Yao arrogantly waved his hand. ¡°Money isn¡¯t a problem; I¡¯ll make sure I pay him for overtime.¡±

    The nurse seemed a little startled, and answered, ¡°This isn¡¯t about the money...¡±

    ¡°It is about the money.¡± Zhao Yao nced at the clock on the wall, only to realize that it was almost 11 pm. As anxiety continued to build up in him, Zhao Yao shoved RMB500 into the nurse¡¯s hands. ¡°This is just a small sum. Get me the best and most expensive medical screening you have and tell the doctor that if he is willing toe, I¡¯ll pay him RMB20000 as overtime fee.¡±

    The nurse gasped, ¡°Are you serious?¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t be any more serious. If you don¡¯t believe me, I¡¯ll transfer RMB5000 right now for you.¡±

    Half an hour had passed, and two young doctors, one male, and the other a female were seen rushing into the hospital. The female doctor looked beautiful with clear, snow-white skin. It seemed as if she was a Taobao Model, instead of a veterinarian.

    Beneath her white robe, she wore a pair of ck stockings. Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t help but sneak a few nces at her.

    The female doctor walked in front of Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Hi, I¡¯m Doctor Liu, and I am the doctor of the hospital. Are you the one who called us over at this hour?¡±

    ¡°Mmm, yes I am.¡± Zhao Yao nodded and continued, ¡°I found these stray cats and I wish to raise them by myself...¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t wish to know what you are nning to do. I¡¯m not interested.¡± Doctor Liu brushed it off and said, ¡°Did you say that you would give us RMB20000 as overtime fee?¡±

    ¡°I meant that it was RMB20000 for both of you... Forget it; I¡¯ll give you RMB20000 each.¡±

    Upon hearing what Zhao Yao said, a brilliant smile emerged from Doctor Liu¡¯s expressionless face. ¡°All right, all right. Rest assured, we will begin immediately. We, Starry Starry Pet Hospital, only offer top-notch medical services in terms of technology, skills, and medication. You havee to the right ce.¡±

    As she spoke, she waved her hand to the nurse. ¡°Xiao Na, what are waiting for? Get our customer here a cup of tea.¡±

    ¡°Right. Let¡¯s introduce you to our member¡¯s n¡± Doctor Liu patted Zhao Yao on the shoulder and announced, ¡°Nowadays there are very few kind-hearted people like you who want to raises that many cats, why not join us as a member? You get RMB200 for every RMB1000 spent, RMB2000 for every RMB5000 spent. With this many cats, I¡¯m sure you would want to sterilize, vinate and take care of bug problems in the future right? Imagine how much you can save if you join us as a member!¡±

    Zhao Yao seemed unimpressed, but couldn¡¯t stop staring at the female doctor¡¯s pair of beautiful sexy legs. In the doctor¡¯s eyes, Zhao Yao was simply a cash machine that was about to give out its money.

    The two doctors began treating the cats one by one. They measured their weight, temperature and conducted blood tests on the cats. The situation was a mess, with a total of 18 purring cats being moved about everywhere. Luckily, there were two nurses on overtime shift who rendered great help in stabilizing the situation.

    Zhao Yao pointed at Elizabeth and said, ¡°This cat keeps on vomiting blood, please do a proper check on her will you?¡±

    The doctors had long ago noticed the ragdoll in Zhao Yao¡¯s hand. Doctor Liu couldn¡¯t help but asked, ¡°Is it alright to have it tied up in rope?¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°This cat has a nasty temper, let¡¯s just do the screening as it is.¡±

    Elizabeth¡¯s voice drifted into Zhao Yao¡¯s mind. ¡°Stop, I don¡¯t want a check. I¡¯m perfectly fine; there¡¯s no problem with me.¡±

    ¡°Hey, look. You vomited blood; don¡¯t tell me that that is fine. Just do the screening and don¡¯t you dare die on me.¡±

    ¡°No, I....¡± As she spoke, Elizabeth choked and coughed up another pool of blood. ¡°I¡¯m really fine.¡±

    Zhao Yao stared intently at the pool of blood on the floor and seemed to notice some chunks of minced meat. ¡°What in the world... please don¡¯t tell me you spat out your organs.¡±

    ¡°Doctor, hurry and get this cat checked! Could that actually be its lungs?¡±

    A group of medical crew hurriedly ced Elizabeth on the operating table, and as she groaned in pain, a nurse jabbed a thermometer into Elizabeth¡¯s rear.

    ¡°Meow...¡±

    Elizabeth¡¯s eyes started to glow in fury, Zhao Yao instantly ordered, ¡°Calm down, will you? Do anything rash, and I will not raise these cats anymore.¡±

    Elizabeth shot a ring eye at Zhao Yao but eventually chose to wait patiently.

    Matcha, who had been standing by Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulder, burst outughing upon witnessing what just happened.

    A nurse happened to walk by Matcha and asked Zhao Yao, ¡°What do we do with this cat?¡±

    Zhao Yao grinned and replied, ¡°Well, since we are here. Let¡¯s just do a check on him. I seem to remember that he has yet to take his vination shot this year anyway. ¡±

    ¡°ZHAO YAO!!¡±

    Drip, drop, drip, drop. A dripping sound reverberated in the pitch-ck room.

    Bounded by a rope at her feet and her mouth stuffed, a middle-aged woman hung upside down on the wall.

    Her neck sliced with a thumb-long cut, streaks of crimson-red blood oozed out of her fresh wound which then converged at the back of her head, leaving behind a gory pool of blood.

    The woman¡¯s eyes were filled with terror. She struggled and struggled but to no avail, unable to escape from the tightly bounded rope.

    In front of her, a middle-aged man gently ced his finger on her lips, signaling her to keep quiet as she vigorously shook her head in fear.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you move darling, the more you struggle, the more blood you will lose, and the faster you¡¯ll die.¡±

    At this moment, the woman¡¯s eyes filled up with tears which streamed down her face like a waterfall. She looked at the man with a pitiful and frightened look in her eyes.

    ¡°Don¡¯t beg me. Did you show mercy to the cats you abused? Did they not plead with you, the same way you did to me?¡± The man led out a wickedughter, licked his lips and whispered into her ears, ¡°When a prey meets a predator, the prey doesn¡¯t even have the right to plead.¡±

    Having said that, the man sat right in front of the woman; his eyes fixed on the fresh dripping blood. He saw as the terror in the woman¡¯s eyes turned into hatred and eventually despair.

    The man¡¯s eyes lit, and his lips curved in malicious pleasure.

    ¡°You love to abuse cats, while I simply love to abuse people like you. If you live through this, perhaps we could even be good friends.¡±

    At this moment, the doorbell rang. The man calmly turned his head around and over at the front door was another middle-aged man ¡ª a man that shared a simr physical appearance as him.

    As the man at the door stared at the pool of blood below his wife¡¯s hanging body, blood drained from his face, and he stood motionless in horror.

    Before he could even let out a cry, he felt a stabbing pain in his chest as a wave of fear rushed through him. The man choked the husband by the neck and pinned him against the wall.

    ¡°Exsanguination... Amputation... Fire... Poison... Electrocution...¡±

    ¡°If you were to die, which would you love most?¡±

    .....

    Back in the pet hospital, after several hours of hard work, the 18 cats, Elizabeth and Matcha had all been thoroughly screened.

    Doctor Liu reassured Zhao Yao, ¡± The stray cats seem to be in good shape, with the exception of a few bugs and minor malnutrition, and there seems to be not much a problem. We will proceed with the vination now, and we should be good by then. This cat, in particr, is very healthy, it¡¯s skin firm as ever and very well nourished. As for this ragdoll...¡±

    Zhao Yao eyes widened and urged, ¡± What¡¯s the matter with her? ¡±

    Elizabeth was the key topleting the mission, and if anything were to happen to Elizabeth now, they would not be able to gain experience for half a year. This made Zhao Yao extremely worried.

    Elizabeth turned her head towards the doctor. It was obvious that even though she always imed that she was fine, she was actually still very concerned about her own health.

    Doctor Liu replied, ¡°This ragdoll... She ate too much.¡±

    ¡°?¡± Zhao Yao gave a confused look.

    Doctor Liu shook her head as she continued, ¡°Ragdoll¡¯s do not have a good digestive system. This ragdoll¡¯s stomach was packed with raw meat and bones and has expanded more than three times its original size. Having eaten so much, it is without a doubt that she would get indigestion; vomiting ispletely natural.¡±

    ¡°V..V...Vomiting?¡± Zhao Yao stuttered, ¡°You mean...¡±

    ¡°It isn¡¯t blood that she is vomiting. They are undigested meat.¡± Doctor Liu frowned and nagged, ¡°I understand that you cat lovers really love your cats, but you can never feed them too much. Domestic cats usuallyck self-control and will eat more than they actually need. What makes it worse is that ragdolls already have a weak digestive system which makes it even easier to develop indigestion.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded profusely and asked, ¡°So are you saying that she will be okay? And that it¡¯s just normal indigestion? No big deal right?¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡± Doctor Liu gently nodded. ¡°Rest assured; they are really just meat and bones that she is vomiting. I will give her some medication to aid her digestion. Just feed her less in the future, and it should be fine.¡±

    Upon hearing this, Zhao Yao scowled at Elizabeth.

    ¡°This fellow here... Must have been too greedy...¡±

    Elizabeth turned her head around, refusing to make eye contact with Zhao Yao.

    Elizabeth mumbled, ¡°I told you that I¡¯d be fine.¡±

    As they conversed, they spoke in their minds, and no one else could hear their conversation.

    It was already 10 in the morning. All 18 stray cats had finally been transported to Zhao Yao¡¯s house. He ced 15 adult cats in a room and three kittens separately in another room.

    Fortunately, Zhao Yao still had cat food and the litter box from raising Matcha in the past. He took them out to cope with the inflow of cats as a temporary solution.

    During this whole process, Matcha had been scurrying around the house, preventing the stray cats from exploring the house.

    ¡°Psst, go away, the toilet is out of bounds.¡± ¡°Psst, that¡¯s my bed over there, you are not allowed to sleep there.¡± ¡°Hey, you! I¡¯m talking to you ck guy. Don¡¯t you dare touch my cat food.¡±

    As Matcha continued to grumble, Zhao Yao shrugged his shoulders and asked, ¡°Is it that hard tomunicate with them? Have you forgotten how to talk in catnguage?¡±

    Matcha snapped and shouted, ¡°Hey, there is no logical way to speak in catnguage you know? Unlike humans, catnguage is not asplex and is only used to express affection and emotions.¡± Matcha continued yelling. ¡°None of these stupid cats have yet to awaken their power, and theypletely do not understandplexnguage. Tell me, what can I do? Just imagine 18 mentally challenged and r*tarded peopleing to your house, how would you feel?¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded sympathetically and turned to ask Elizabeth, ¡°How is it? Do you have any other requests?¡±

    Elizabeth scrutinized the environment carefully but nodded in satisfaction, ¡± I guess it¡¯s fine. I do have another request...¡±

    Zhao Yao looked intently into Elizabeth¡¯s sapphire blue eyes as they sparkled withpassion.

    ¡°I hope you can help me to find the old granny who raised me up back then. I wish to see her again.¡±

    Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief and replied with a smile, ¡°That¡¯s simple, do you remember the vi you once came from?¡±

    Elizabeth acknowledged, ¡°Yes I do.¡±

    Zhao Yao brought Elizabeth back to the vi and followed Elizabeth¡¯s memory to the ce where they were picked up by the old granny. During the process, it seemed like Elizabeth had no intention of turning hostile and Zhao Yao decided to loosen the rope on Elizabeth.

    They asked many people along the way and searched miles and miles of roads from noon to 8 in the night. Finally, they managed to get hold of an address from an old man and arrived at the house.

    ¡°Finally, we found it.¡± Zhao Yao sighed as he looked at the huge metal door in front of them. He managed to find the ce before the deadline.

    However, at this moment, Elizabeth¡¯s eyes dted with horror and lunged herself straight towards the front door.

    ¡°I smell blood.¡± She shuddered.

    Elizabeth who was right on Zhao Yao¡¯s back a second ago was gone in a blink of an eye. Like a bullet, she had already leaped through a tiny opening in the window grill into the house.

    <h4>Chapter 19: Murder</h4>

    Just as Elizabeth darted into the house, a bone-chilling shriek reverberated through the house.

    Zhao Yao heard the scream, frowned to himself and gave the door a strong solid kick.

    It seemed like this household came from an average family background. They still used old-fashioned locks for their door and there was no anti-theft system in ce. Zhao Yao delivered a few more kicks to the door and it wasn¡¯t long before the door gave way.

    The moment the door opened, Zhao Yao was greeted face-on with a pungent metallic smell of blood, followed by the sight of two corpses, one man and one woman, soaked in a pool of mild cerise blood.

    Zhao Yao froze when he heard Elizabeth¡¯s horrifying scream. He bolted towards the room where the scream came from and saw a white-haired olddy lying motionless on a bed coated with a goryyer of blood. Her neck had a gaping wound and was already barely attached to the body. It looked as if someone tried to rip her head off.

    Elizabeth stood by the bed and cried miserably. Elizabeth¡¯s sobbing was like the sound of a heartbreaking.

    Zhao Yao came to realization and gasped, ¡°Oh my... Isn¡¯t she...¡±

    ¡°She was killed!¡± Elizabeth yelled at the top of her lungs as tears raced down her face. ¡°The other supercats did it! She was killed by the others!¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao, you must help me find the killer. You have to find him. I promise that I¡¯ll be your pet from today onwards but please.... You have to hunt him down at all cost.¡±

    Zhao Yao remained silent but nodded gently.

    At this moment, voices of people were heard outside the door. Zhao Yao grabbed Elizabeth instinctively and whispered, ¡°Let¡¯s get out of here now.¡±

    Whenever a murder case like this happened in Jiangmen City, there was no doubt that it would attract the attention of the authorities.

    Zhao Yao didn¡¯t have a convincing reason as to why he was here at this moment. He refused to interact with the police and waste precious hours on interrogation to prove that he is innocent.

    He knew it was time to use it.

    Zhao Yao grabbed Elizabeth and instantly activated timefreeze.

    Within the short span of 6 seconds, Zhao Yao sprinted out of the room and went straight to the corridor downstairs. As soon as the power wore off, Zhao Yao heard a deafening scream that came from above. It seems like the neighbors have discovered the room with the corpses.

    With a heavy heart, Zhao Yao navigated his way to the ground level. He activated timefreeze yet again to make the final escape out of the house and as he ran out, he could see cameras already in position. Luckily for him, he had timefreeze to get away from such a situation.

    All this time, Elizabeth did not speak a single word.

    As they left the district and arrived at the main road, Zhao Yao finally decided to stop using his power.

    He looked at Elizabeth in his arms and sighed gently, ¡°Don¡¯t think about it too much, we will find the killer for sure.¡±

    Elizabeth merely squinted her eyes as she gave a look of despair.

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°How do you know that it was done by other supercats?¡±

    ¡°Scent,¡± Elizabeth mumbled. ¡°There was an ominous mixture of blood and the cat¡¯s scent in the room. I¡¯ve never smelled something that menacing.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded. He knew that cats and dogs shared a simr trait. They tend to use the power of scent to aid with interaction and scent can be used to deliver many types of messages like danger or marking of territory.

    ¡°And the fatal wound on granny¡¯s neck...¡± Elizabeth continued as she trembled, ¡°They are the marks of a cat¡¯s w. No ordinary cat would be able to rip off a human¡¯s neck so it has to be a supercat... I won¡¯t rule out the possibility of it being the doing of other predatory beasts but I¡¯d say the chances are pretty low...¡±

    As she spoke, she looked intently into Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes, ¡± Zhao Yao, from now on, I¡¯ll be your pet but I beg you for one thing. You have to find the killer. You have to avenge granny...¡±

    ¡°I got it, don¡¯t you worry. I¡¯ll never turn my back on a situation like this.¡±

    ....Mission Sess: Congrattions, you havepleted your mission....

    A voice was transmitted into Zhao Yao¡¯s mind, notifying him that the mission was a sess. Yet, he wasn¡¯t even in the mood to celebrate.

    When he first received the mission and was told that there were more supercats besides Matcha, Zhao Yao foresaw that something like this would happen. When a cat awakens its powers, will it work together with humans? Rather, would humans choose to work with the supercats?

    Zhao Yao shook his head as he refused to think of the answer. He looked at Elizabeth and decided that he would do what he can to help her.

    They boarded a cab and went back home. Elizabeth and Zhao Yao have built a mutual trust with each other. On the ride back, Elizabeth shared her true powers unhesitantly to Zhao Yao.

    Elizabeth¡¯s hypnotic ability could be activated through sound or light. Upon hearing the sound, the person would experience visual and auditory illusions. This would put their body under Elizabeth¡¯s full control.

    However, it could only be casted on one person at a time and if the person being controlled was being attacked, the hypnotic link would break and Elizabeth herself would also be hurt.

    Upon hearing Elizabeth¡¯s power, Zhao Yao searched for BOOK in his mind.

    The mission has already beenpleted and the panel has updated itself

    Book: Level (50/100)

    Pet (1/1): Matcha

    Level: Lvl2 (9/100)

    Loyalty: 100

    Power: Timefreeze,sts 6 seconds, cooldown 6 seconds

    BOOK¡¯s experience has increased to 50 points but Zhao Yao wasn¡¯t in a hurry to transfer these experience points to Matcha.

    A new mission had arrived.

    This time, three new missions were introduced instead of one.

    Main Mission 1: Convince and obtain Elizabeth

    Mission Objective: Increase book¡¯s level by 1. Increase the limit of the number of pets. Obtain Elizabeth and share her powers.

    Mission Reward: Gain 50 experience points

    Mission Penalty: Nil

    Zhao Yao read the new mission and thought to himself.

    ¡°It seems like the most important part of increasing the book¡¯s level is to increase the pet limit. I can only share their powers if they be my pet like Matcha.¡±

    ¡°This is the main mission. I guess the main mission is to obtain as many pets as possible while leveling up the book? That sounds easy.¡±

    Mission 2: You only have a house, what about a car?

    Mission Objective: The cats need to travel about in a luxury car. Purchase a luxury car worth RMB1,000,000 and above within a week.

    Mission Reward: Gain 20 experience points

    Mission Penalty: Deduct 20 experience points

    Upon seeing this mission, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyebrows pinched together and let out a painful expression on his face.

    ¡°If Iplete this mission, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t have enough money to spend any more. I have to find a way to earn some money.¡±

    Daily Mission 3, click to begin.

    ¡°Daily mission?¡± Zhao Yao thought as he gave a confused look. He suddenly recalled, ¡°If it¡¯s a daily mission, does it mean that it works the same as online games? Missions refresh on a daily basis. I just have toplete the mission and collect the rewards every day. Though the rewards may be little, the final reward forpleting all the daily mission is usually worth it.¡±

    At the thought of this, a bright idea popped up in Zhao Yao¡¯s head,¡± At this rate, the daily missions will be a huge source of experience for BOOK to level up!¡±

    But even though Zhao Yao was really curious about the contents of the daily mission, he decided against clicking it. He nned toplete the mission at hand before deciding if he should ept the daily mission.

    Zhao Yao brought Elizabeth home and tried his best to reassure her. However, he could tell from Elizabeth¡¯s eyes that she was still very anxious.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, what¡¯s your n? How do you n to find him?¡± Elizabeth questioned in a worried tone. ¡°Jiangmen City is way too huge and we have no idea what power does the killer cat possess. If its power makes it easy for it to escape or hide....¡±

    ¡°Rest assured, Elizabeth. You have to put your faith in mankind.¡± Zhao Yao saw the worried look on Elizabeth¡¯s face and gently stroked her furry head as her little ears trembled in anxiety. ¡°When ites to murder cases, we have to trust the professionals in this field. Mankind¡¯s technology can sometimes be more reliable than cat superpowers.¡±

    Elizabeth hesitated and mumbled, ¡°You mean...¡±

    ¡°Let the police do their job. They are much more experienced than us in many fields such as case-cracking and investigation.¡± Zhao Yao reassured. ¡°Fortunately I do know a police officer. I¡¯ll contact him in a few days and see if I can get any information out of him.¡±

    Elizabeth finally calmed down and Zhao Yao went to check on the other cats in the house.

    The cats were sitting obediently in the room. With Elizabeth¡¯s presence, they tend to be calm andposed.

    Matcha was lying on the sofa as he yed Mobile Legends.

    Zhao Yao found a seat and sat down. He started to browse through the mission panel.

    On the mission panel, there were a total of three missions ¡ª the main mission, side mission and daily mission.

    The main mission was simply about gaining experience to level up; the side mission requires Zhao Yao to buy a luxury car while the daily mission remains a mystery.

    Out of curiosity, Zhao Yao decided to begin the daily mission.

    Zhao Yao epted the daily mission and suddenly a new mission was introduced.

    Daily Mission: The only way to be the strongest is through consistent daily training (0/5)

    Mission Objective: Increase the chemistry between you and your cat through grooming and affectionate rubs for an hour.

    Mission reward: 1 experience point

    Mission Penalty: Nil

    Upon reading the contents of the daily mission, Zhao Yao tapped into his many years of gaming knowledge and came to a realization.

    ¡°0/5... Does that mean that there are 5 daily missions in a day? It seems pretty simple from the first mission but the experience is really underwhelming. What if Iplete all the missions? Will there be more experience points?¡±

    Seeing how easy the first mission was, Zhao Yao went straight beside Matcha and began stroking him from head to tail.

    ¡°Huh? What are you doing? I¡¯m ying my game, don¡¯t...¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t.... Stop, please.... No.... A little harder.... Oh.... A little harder...¡±

    ¡°Oh... My chin.... My butt.... A little to the top.... Just a little.... Ahh, that¡¯s the spot.¡±

    Matcha was resistant initially but gradually as Zhao Yao kept on rubbing him, Matcha quickly closed his eyes and sank into Zhao Yao¡¯s embrace.

    As Zhao Yao continued to rub Matcha rhythmically, Matcha flipped over with his belly facing up and his legs in full extension. For a moment, Matcha appeared to be the happiest cat in the world as he stretched his paws while smiling in enjoyment.

    At this moment, Zhao Yao lifted up his head and to his surprise, the stray British Shorthair was right in front of the sofa all this while, staring at Matcha with his big round eyes filled with eagerness.

    ¡°Eh? How did you get out?¡± Zhao Yao turned his eyes to look at the room where the cats were living in, only to realize that the door was left ajar and the dozen of cats was carefully making their way out of the room.

    ¡°Did I forget to shut the door just now?¡± Zhao Yao scratched his head in confusion.

    Seeing that so many cats have escaped from the room, Matcha got to his feet and yelled, ¡°Hey! All of you! Get back to the room right now! This is my territory!¡±

    The stray cats jumped in shock as they heard Matcha¡¯s scream and scurried in all directions frantically. Matcha pounced around like a leopard in an attempt to chase all of them back into the room.

    However, the little British Shorthair still stubbornly stood by the sofa in spite of Matcha¡¯s relentless effort to bring him back.

    Seeing Mango¡¯s pitiful face as Matcha continuously hit Mango on the back of the head, Elizabeth couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and raised her voice, ¡°Enough, Mango isn¡¯t very smart from the start, stop bullying him.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean not very smart?¡± Zhao Yao questioned.

    Elizabeth sighed and replied, ¡°Theoretically, pure breed of cats like Mango tend to be weaker than their mixed blood counterparts. Many people breed simr types of cats together in order to make money but this inherently leads to many obvious ws. This is the case for Mango. His genes are slightly inferior and didn¡¯t eat well when he was young, causing him to lose out on proper developmental growth. Because of this, Mango tends to be less clever than normal cats, so please do not bully him.¡±

    As Matcha stared at Elizabeth¡¯s sweet-looking face, Matcha puffed his chest out and replied confidently, ¡°Rx, why would I go against Elizabeth¡¯s instruction? From today on, I promise I would not bully this stupid.... No... this brother of mine here. Mango is my brother and as long as I have any food, I promise to share it with him.¡±

    Elizabeth couldn¡¯t care less and stared out of the window, deep in thought.

    Matcha licked Mango on the head and consoled, ¡°Silly little boy, from today onwards, are my little brother. Look at the living room, the room, and the huge backyard. These are all mine, and they will be yours in the future.¡±

    Mango didn¡¯t nudge a bit and looked at Matcha in confusion with Matcha¡¯s saliva dripping off his face.

    Zhao Yao simply looked as they conversed. He understood that cats are protective of their territory and that he should let them settle such problems by themselves.

    Now that Matcha was willing to share his territory with Mango, it made things much easier.

    Zhao Yao went to grab Matcha and continued stroking him for a full hour, to the point Matcha turned limp. They finally cleared the first mission of the day and gained one experience point.

    The second daily mission popped out following thepletion of the first.

    Daily Mission 2: Every cat needs to be happy every day. y with them and keep them happy for an hour.

    Zhao Yao curled his lips, went straight to the storeroom where he kept Matcha¡¯s food and starting searching for old cat toys.

    The toys were actually free gifts from buying cat food. Never did he thought that they would eventuallye in handy.

    Zhao Yao found a cat stick. It had a puppet bird made of feathers attached to the stick by a long bungee cord.

    As soon as he took out the stick, all three cats in the living room, Matcha, Elizabeth, and Mango, turned their heads around; their eyes fixated on the cat stick.

    Cats were natural-born hunters, and they particrly enjoyed chasing, catching and biting the things around them. They often yed hunting games with their masters and other felinepanions.

    Their primal instincts act up especially when they saw mice, birds, and other small animals, and the cats would start attacking them viciously.

    This could be the reason why cat toys were especially popr with most of these cats, apart from the smarter ones.

    When Zhao Yao picked up the cat toy, all three cats turned to attention immediately, but both Elizabeth and Matcha barely gave a second nce.

    Only Mango, a British Shorthair, excitedly rushed over and leaped onto the cat pole.

    Zhao Yao sighed in disappointment, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t all cats enjoy these small and whacky toys, especially the feathery ones? Almost all cats would have gone for the cat toy!¡± He thought to himself.

    But seeing the current situation, it seemed that Elizabeth and Matcha had awakened their intelligence, and all these toys couldn¡¯t capture their attention. Only Mango had an innate love for the cat toys. Elizabeth and Matcha watched as Mango pounced around. Zhao Yao shrugged, and casually tossed the cat pole over to Mango, and then went back to search for other toys.

    Elizabeth and Matcha couldn¡¯t be bothered with all the toys, unlike Mango, who leaped in excitement around the bouncy-ball, the scratchboard, and the fake mice.

    Zhao Yao nced over at Matcha, who was in his own world ying Mobile Legends on his phone.

    ¡°Matcha, do you want to y with this?¡± Zhao Yao sheepishly waved theser pointer around.

    ¡°Do you think I¡¯m retarded?¡± Matcha scoffed.

    Mango continued to frolic around Zhao Yao¡¯s foot, scurrying around to catch the redser dot. Zhao Yao swore that if he pointed theser at the stars, Mango would stupidly follow it.

    Having exhausted all his options on Matcha to no avail, Zhao Yao dejectedly sat down and exhaled with a sigh, ¡°Matcha, what exactly do you want to y!?¡±

    ¡°What to y? Obviously, I¡¯m ying Mobile Legends!¡±

    Zhao Yao was taken aback momentarily. ¡°Ah... silly me¡±, he chided as he whipped out his mobile phone. ¡°Hurry up and invite me to a game. I¡¯ll carry you!¡±

    ¡°Ok, give me a sec, I¡¯m almost done with this game.¡±

    Zhao Yao invited Matcha into his team, only to realize that the Supercat was not only bronze-ranked but just lost a star. Zhao Yao clearly recalled that a few losses at bronze rank wouldn¡¯t have caused a loss of a star. How many times did Matcha lose to get to this level...?

    ¡°This noob...,¡± Zhao Yao said with a ck face. Luckily Zhao Yao was silver ranked, which was enough to carry Matcha.

    Immediately after Matcha entered the team, Zhao Yao started a match.

    Although Matcha¡¯s skills were terrible, Zhao Yao was able to cope as he had yed for a long time. Also, since both their ranks were low, they were matched with low-ranking opponents too. Zhao Yao was able to carry Matcha eventually.

    They were both on a winning streak, with Zhao Yao crushing his opponents easily while Matcha constantly ridiculed and insulted his opponents.

    ¡°Oh! Do you want to kill me? How does it feel to die all the time?¡±

    ¡°Haven¡¯t surrendered? You ¡®tryhards¡¯ want to win THAT badly?¡±

    ¡°One death for three of your deaths. Worth it!¡±

    Suddenly, Matcha eximed, ¡°What the f*ck... how did the dominatore out?¡±

    Zhao Yao reluctantly said: ¡°That is Zhang Fei.¡±

    An hour zipped by quickly. Matcha was ecstatic because Zhao Yao carried him all the way to silver rank. As he yed, he let out satisfied purrs.

    Matcha had never won so many games in a row. At the end of every match, Matcha kept bugging Zhao Yao to y another.

    However, Zhao Yao had no interest in carrying Matcha anymore. He took a nce at his daily mission. It was never-ending.

    Daily mission #3: After ying, it was time to train. Please gather the Supercats together and train their abilities for an hour.

    It looked simple enough, except that Zhao Yao had never tried using the abilities intensively for more than an hour.

    Zhao Yao told Matcha to use his ability. Matcha was reluctant at first, but Zhao Yao made him a deal he couldn¡¯t refuse ¨C to carry him again tomorrow, in exchange for thezy cat to practice his abilities.

    The world stopped around Zhao Yao and Matcha for six seconds. Matcha had the ability to temporarily stop time. One hour of practice, in reality, would have been two hours for Matcha and Zhao Yao. If not for the constant pressing of Zhao Yao, Matcha would have thrown in the towel long ago.

    Matcha grew hungrier the more he used his powers. This had never happened before.

    By thest few minutes, Matcha¡¯s eyes turned red as his stomach started growling.

    Immediately after the time freeze, Matcha rushed to the automatic cat feeder without hesitation, jabbing his paw into the dispensing button.

    Seeing Matcha wolf down his food, Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°I thought that ability didn¡¯t really consume energy, but now it seems that it does. However, the energy expenditure is still small, and his daily diet should be able to sustain him.¡±

    Zhao Yao checked off his third mission and looked at the next one down the list.

    Daily mission #4: Need to replenish nutrition after training. Regr cat food alone cannot meet the dietary requirements of the super cat. Please create a higher grade cat feed. Low-grade cat feed cannot make the cut.

    Reward: 1 experience point

    Failure penalties: None

    Looking at this new task, Zhao Yao sighed in disdain. He couldn¡¯t cook for himself and had to eat take-outs every day. Now he had the extra responsibility of preparing food for Matcha.

    However, Zhao Yao decided to give it a try for the potential rewards inpleting the daily tasks,

    ¡°To make high-grade cat feed, should I improve the nutritional value of it?¡± Zhao Yao considered the previous versions of cat feed, ranging from rough, normal, excellent and superior levels. The thing that set them apart was their nutritional level. Deep in thought, Zhao Yao opened hisputer and researched on cat food manufacturing-rted processes.

    Zhao Yao never had the opportunity to research on cat food because of his workmitments. Now that he was freed from his workmitments, he realized that the preparation of these dishes was not asplicated as he thought. The main consideration was the choice of ingredients. It had to be a mix of different meats and vegetables toplement the diet of the cats, and also had to have a decent taste to it.

    Furthermore, some cats liked chicken, while other cats preferred beef. Some even preferred pork and fish. If the cat didn¡¯t get a meat that they wanted, they would rather go hungry than consume it.

    Zhao Yao knew that Matcha¡¯s preferred meat in cat food was beef and chicken. Following this, he found a recipe that had these in it and subsequently went downstairs to the market to buy the required ingredients.

    Before going downstairs, Zhao Yao disposed of all the existing cat food in the house, to the protest of Matcha.

    ¡°Just wait a moment, I will cook for you today!¡± Zhao Yao smiled as he made his way out.

    Logically speaking, cats were carnivores, and the purpose of eating vegetables was to aid in gastrointestinal motility by adding fiber. The vegetables also provided essential vitamins and minerals.

    ording to the recipe, he found online, Zhao Yao bought beef, chicken, cauliflower and quail eggs at the supermarket downstairs.

    Aftering home with the groceries, Zhao Yao began to rinse the meat and prepared the dishes while Matcha had a look of mncholy in his eyes.

    Zhao Yao decided to use tap water to steam the meat in order to minimise the loss of nutrients since cats do not consume food with a lot of seasoning.

    After the meat was cooked, Zhao Yao minced the beef and chicken together. Then, he added quail eggs and cauliflower into the pot.

    Over an hourter, a simple meal for Matcha was finally ready to be consumed.

    Zhao Yao referred to BOOK to grade the mushy meal prepared by him.

    ¡°Only basic grade?¡±, Zhao Yao mumbled while touching his chin. ¡°There should be enough meat, what is the mealcking?¡±

    Zhao Yao went to look up the inte again and realized that most people prepare meals for their cats using fresh ingredients, the same way as he did. If aparison was to be done for the protein content of the meal, it should be much higher than most manufactured cat food.

    He studied various cat food nutritionalbels online and found out what was missing from his meal.

    ¡°Hmm, taurine, vitamins, micronutrients...?¡± Zhao Yao frowned and said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid I¡¯mcking these.¡±

    Matcha climbed over the kitchen¡¯s ss door and stared intently at the pot of cat food while inhaling deeply as if he was trying to smell the aroma of the steamed meat. Mango looked at Zhao Yao and the food that he had prepared with a look of desire in his big and round eyes.

    From a distance, Elizabeth looked at the two cats in disdain.

    Although she did not look at the cat food, her nose involuntarily twitched.

    Zhao Yao shook his head while looking at the two cats outside and said, ¡°No, it¡¯s not ready yet. Please wait for a little longer.¡±

    ¡°If I wait any longer, I¡¯ll starve to death!¡± Matcha protested, ¡°Let me have a bite, just a bite! Even if I starve, my kitten must eat.¡± He tapped Mango, looked at Elizabeth and said, ¡°Elizabeth hasn¡¯t eaten anything the whole night.¡±

    ¡°Do not drag me into this, I am not as greedy as you.¡±, Elizabeth said with discontentment.

    ¡°Okay, I will let all of you eat when I get back.¡±, Zhao Yao said helplessly as he saw saliva dripping down from the corner of Elizabeth¡¯s mouth.

    As it pertained the daily mission, Zhao Yao did not agree to let them eat. He immediately locked the food in the bedroom and nned to leave the house to buy some vitamin tablets for the cats.

    As Zhao Yao exited from the small district, he drove towards Starry Starry pet hospital as he thinks that the hospital should sell vitamin tablets for cats.

    As he walked into the hospital, the nurse in the front counter eximed, ¡°Mister, you¡¯re here?¡±

    ¡°What is it with the stray cats this time?

    ¡°I am here to buy something; do you sell vitamins for cats?¡± Zhao Yao said as he smiled.

    ¡°You mean nutrition powder?¡± The nurse blinked and said, ¡°What do you n to do with it? Add it to cat food? Just for everyday consumption or is it because a cat has fallen ill?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°I am preparing a meal for my cats and I found out that it is best to add this to increase the nutritional value of the meal.¡±

    The nurse¡¯s eyes gleamed, ¡°In that case, hold on, I will get a few packets for you. Cats require various vitamins, taurine, calcium, etc.¡±

    While talking, the nurse ran out of the hospital, leaving Zhao Yao alone at the counter.

    After a few minutes, the nurse did not return. However, Dr. Liew came into the hospital instead, wearing heels with a white coat and a pair of ck stockings.

    Her emotionless face soon beamed with excitement as she saw Zhao Yao; greeting him with a brilliant smile.

    ¡°¡¯Boss Zhao, you¡¯re here?¡±

    ¡°Call me Zhao Yao instead.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s mouth twitched as he replied, feeling embarrassed by the way she addressed him.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, I heard you want to buy some nutrition powder?¡±

    Dr. Liew stared at him with her sparkling eyes and said, ¡°You must be preparing a meal for your cats. In that case, you have to include nutrition powder, especially taurine; cats needrge amounts of taurine every day. This is beneficial to their vision, immunity, organs, and heart.¡±

    ¡°Alright, just rmend me some then.¡± Zhao Yao replied while waving his hand, as he witnessed how passionate Dr. Liew was.

    Then, the nurse came back with several cans and tubs. ¡°These are different imported nutrition powder; besides taurine and calcium, you should include these vitamins and micronutrients which should meet the cats¡¯ daily rmended nutritional intake.¡± Dr. Liew exined passionately again.

    ¡°How much is it?¡± Zhao Yao asked.

    ¡°$300.¡± Dr. Liew eximed in excitement, ¡°Since you have so many stray cats, I can give you a discount if you buy more...¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t need so much.¡± Zhao Yao interrupted her words and said, ¡°I am only buying for a few cats, a tub will do just fine.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Dr. Liew sighed and left with a look of disappointment in her eyes.

    The nurse said awkwardly, ¡°Dr. Liew has a surgical appointment in the afternoon...¡±

    Zhao Yao brought the nutrition powder home and mixed it with the food that he had prepared. Matcha and Mango surrounded him and stared intensely at the food he was mixing.

    Zhao Yao noted that the food had been upgraded to ¡°excellent¡±.

    ¡°Alright, this is for you Matcha; and Mango, this is for you.¡±

    He poured the minced meat separately into Matcha and Mango¡¯s tes. The two cats immediately lowered their heads and began to wolf down the food.

    Zhao Yao then walked towards Elizabeth as she lifted her head towards the windows with a look of depression.

    Zhao Yao touched Elizabeth¡¯s head and back as he ced a te of cat food in front of her. He then said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we will find the murderer.¡±

    Zhao Yao caressed Elizabeth¡¯s back as he brushed through her smooth fur which felt like a silky cloth. As he lowered his head, he realized that she had already finished all the food on the te.

    ¡°Tastes okay,¡± Elizabeth said as she was eating the food and swinging her paws.

    ¡°Why are you eating so quickly? You are going to have digestion problems.¡± Zhao Yao said as he ced his hand on her forehead.

    ¡°It¡¯s not enough.¡± Elizabeth articted unclearly.

    Matcha was almost done with his meal as Zhao Yao gave Elizabeth more food. The fourth daily mission was finallypleted.

    With the experience in cooking cat food, Zhao Yao wondered if this would increase the experience he would obtain.

    After all, cat food that is graded as ¡°excellent¡± would increase experience points every ten days, while the cat food that is graded to be in the ¡°supreme¡± tier will increase experience points every day. Zhao Yao really wanted to know if the value of the experience points would collectively increase as he mixed food of the ¡°excellent¡± and ¡°supreme¡± tiers together in this particr meal for Matcha.

    What he does not know is that he would go on to include a mixture of ¡°excellent¡± food and ¡°supreme¡± food for the next half of the month; which only yielded a small increase in experience points every day.

    Therefore, the experience points gained by nutrition are mainly dependent on the highest grade of food the cats have been fed with. Even if they consume various ¡°supreme¡±, ¡°excellent¡± and ¡°basic¡± graded cat food, it would only increase the experience value by one point.

    If Zhao Yao wants to increase the experience value of Matcha¡¯s daily meals, he would have to obtain cat foods in the ¡°supreme¡± or those in the higher tiers.

    As he finallypleted the four daily missions, Zhao Yao looked at the BOOK for the fifth daily mission, which is also thest mission.

    Mission 5: With great power,es great responsibility. Spend an hour outdoors with your Supercat and this could prevent the cat from creating a disturbance.

    The mission¡¯s bonus goal: To bring a Supercat out for a patrolsting an hour or longer. If you are able to capture another Supercat, you would reap greater rewards (1 experience point). Failure to meet the bonus goal would not result in any punishment.

    While looking at BOOK¡¯s mission content, Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°This mission only requires me to bring the Supercat out for a mere hour which seems easy toplete. As for the bonus mission, I would need some luck toplete it.¡±

    Just as he was thinking to himself, he looked at the satisfied Matcha who was lying on the floor after consuming his meal. He immediately picked Matcha up and left the house.

    ¡°Meow!¡± Matcha purred in astonishment. ¡°I don¡¯t want to leave the house! I want to stay at home and use the wi-fi with the air-conditioner switched on!¡± Matcha eximed as he protested with his paws in the air.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go, follow me for a walk.¡± Zhao Yao said.

    ¡°Meow! Zhao Yao! You are abusing cats!¡± Matcha motionlessly screamed as he was carried in the hands of Zhao Yao.

    ¡°If you want to bring me out, bring my corpse instead!¡±

 Chapter 23: Car Purchase

    <h4>Chapter 23: Car Purchase</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Dragging Matcha out of the house, Zhao Yao decided that while finishing up thest of the daily missions, he would alsoplete the guiding mission at the same time.

    ¡°Paying over a million for a car within a week, that should mean I¡¯ll get it immediately, right?¡± Zhao Yao thought for a moment, and then picked Matcha up and ced him on his shoulder in a single stroke. His brows furrowed slightly, ¡°Silly cat, have you gotten fatter recently?¡±

    Matcha meowed, ¡°If you have a problem with it, then let me go back. Who wants to follow you out anyway?¡±

    Zhao Yao patted Matcha on its head and said, ¡°I brought you out here so that you can be strong. Once your time freeze duration is long enough, we can do whatever we like. You can make love with whichever cat you like, and lick whichever cat¡¯s anus you want to lick.¡±

    Zhao Yao whipped out his cellphone, and while wandering around the small district, he started looking up information on the 4S shop.

    Having looked through car dealer after car dealer, Zhao Yao finally found a ¡°Buy Now¡± Porsche Panamera in a Porsche dealer¡¯s shop, for 1,050,000RMB.

    Zhao Yao didn¡¯t know much about cars, but after seeing photos on the website, he felt that this car didn¡¯t look too bad, and decided to purchase two of them.

    He exited the small district immediately, started the car, and headed towards the 4S shop with Matcha.

    A male sales manager looked at Matcha ¨C perched on Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulder, and a slight expression of doubt appeared on his face. However, he quickly kept this doubt to himself and said, looking at Zhao Yao, ¡°Mr. Zhao, you are in luck. We usually only do pre-orders here, but one of our customers had suddenly canceled his order after having paid the deposit.¡±

    The sales manager led Zhao Yao to the front of a ck Panamera. This 4-doored Porsche sports car had a streamlined body which reflected its surroundings like a mirror.

    The sales manager presented, ¡°Look at the car¡¯s rear, that¡¯s the spoiler. When the car is traveling below 170km/h, it will maintain a -7¡ã angle, which lowers the drag and improves fuel efficiency.

    In Sports mode or Sports+ mode, when its speed goes above 90km/h, the spoiler moves to a +1¡ã angle for improved performance. When the driver opens up the sunroof, it will move at a +26¡ã angle to reduce wind noise.

    It has electric suction doors on the front and back, and its back seats are extremely spacious, unlike other sports cars which can only fit your baggage. The Panamera can easily fit 4 people without any problem.

    Its boot is also very roomy, enough to store 2 luggage bags...¡±

    Zhao Yao listened to the manager¡¯s sales pitch from the side, and although he didn¡¯t know much about cars, he was very satisfied because the Panamera¡¯s aesthetics suited his taste, and on top of its unique appearance, it also had practical functions, which gave off a feeling of subtleness and beauty.

    ¡°I want this car.¡± dered Zhao Yao.

    The sales manager instantaneously broke into a smile and said, ¡°You came at the right time. We have an ongoing sale, and if you can make the full payment upfront, it will only cost you a discounted price of $998,000.¡±

    ¡°$998,000?¡± Zhao Yao furrowed his brows at the sound of this. His mission required him to spend above $1,000,000.

    The sales manager thought that Zhao Yao was not content, and added, ¡°998,000 is already the lowest price. If you¡¯re still not content, we can gift you another 2plimentary maintenance services, 1 repainting job...¡±

    With a short wave of his hand, Zhao Yao said: ¡°That¡¯s not the problem here. $998,000 is a tad too low. If possible, could you charge me a million and one dors?¡±

    ¡°...¡± The sales manager was silent for a moment, and then, with an astonished look in his eyes, said empathetically to Zhao Yao, ¡°You know that $1,000,000 is more than $998,000 by $2,000, right?¡±

    ¡°Stop with your nonsense.¡± Zhao Yao answered, ¡°A million and one dors, else the deal¡¯s off.¡±

    The sales manager had no choice but to consult his superior. Ten minutester, he said uncertainly, ¡°It can be done, but are you sure...¡±

    ¡°If it can be done, then that¡¯s that. Where do I swipe my card?¡± Zhao Yao asked.

    Following this, the administrative procedures were carried out. Luckily, this Panamera had already been licensed. Zhao Yao paid the sales manager to contact the agency for a foreign license, deciding to submit the foreign license application first, before slowly queuing to bid for a Jiangmen City car te.

    After a series of administrative procedures, Zhao Yao beheld the Panamera in front of him and sighed. He never imagined that he would own his first sports car just like that.

    The next moment, he brought Matcha with him and departed from the ce in his car, leaving the sales manager with a confused expression on his face, staring at the distant car¡¯s silhouette.

    ¡°Rich people really are weird.¡±

    With the Panamera¡¯s exceptional sense of control within his hands, Zhao Yao instead felt a peculiar rue and aching in his heart.

    Recently, because of the missions, having paid for room decorations, a car, as well as Matcha¡¯s daily food expenses, Zhao Yao card ¨C which contained over 13 million dors initially ¨C was down to less than a million. These had really burnt a hole in his pocket.

    ¡°13 million dors! Just like that and I¡¯m left with so little.¡±

    ¡°My BOOK is way too prodigal.¡±

    Nevertheless, just as Zhao Yao finished purchasing the car, his guiding mission and daily missions were finallypleted.

    The guiding mission provided 20 experience points, while the five daily missions provided a sum of 5 experience points, but uponpletion of all five, the daily missionpletion reward was obtained, an additional 5 experience points and...

    ¡°Diamond?¡± Zhao Yao reviewed his BOOK, which now, apart from the newly added experience points, also disyed a never-before-seen diamond icon.

    BOOK:Lv1 (80/100)

    Diamond:1

    Pet (1/1): Matcha

    Grade:Lv2£¨9/100£©

    Loyalty:100

    Ability: Timefreeze, Duration: 6s, Cooldown: 6s

    Experience, as a result of the 20 points from the car-buying mission, 5 points from the daily missions and 5 points from the additional reward, had reached a total of 80 points.

    Apart from that, the only other addition was the diamond that appeared all of a sudden.

    ¡°This means that if all the daily missions arepleted for the day, I can obtain a reward of 10 experience points and a diamond. So, this can be said to be my daily stable ie.

    What I still don¡¯t know is the additional reward obtained if I capture a Supercat during the patrolling mission, as well as the purpose of diamonds. If Iplete all 5 daily missions and get one diamond each day, maybe there¡¯ll be some special use for them in the future.¡±

    With a glimpse at BOOK¡¯s 80 experience points, Zhao Yao thought to himself: Two more days until BOOK can level up, then the pet limit will increase, and the main mission will bepleted.

    Not long after returning home, his cell phone rang. Zhao Yao nced down. It was hispany¡¯s boss, Yuan Ying. Zhao Yao swiftly pressed ¡°ept¡±.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, you are seriously deciding not to continue with this job, is that right?¡±

    Zhao Yao let out an embarrassedugh, ¡°My apologies, sir. I still feel that I would be better off working on my own.¡±

    Yuan Ying replied, ¡°Even if you want to leave, shouldn¡¯t you still finish up this project for me first? You are making things extremely difficult for me if you choose to leave now.¡±

    ¡°Finish up this project before you go, and we can part on good terms.¡±

    Zhao Yao furrowed his brows. He now has to look after so many cats each day, on top of that he has toplete the daily missions, research on cat feed upgrading and there may be new missions appearing from time to time. With such a high expenditure each day, how could he possibly return to thepany to work?

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I really cannote back to work.¡±

    Yuan Ying said coldly, ¡°Fine, but even if you are resigning, your leaves have been used up. Come back to thepany tomorrow to hand over your work.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Zhao Yao was not an irresponsible guy. After being gone for so long, it was about time to go back and do a proper handing over and resignation, he thought.

    On the other side of the call, Yuan Ying hung up, and with a cold, impassive look on his face, he shook his head and sighed, ¡°Youths these days...¡±

    After hanging up, Zhao Yao looked over to see a gloomy Elizabeth by the bedside. He opened up Contacts on his cellphone, ¡°It¡¯s about time to check up on the situation.¡±

    ¡°Hello, Brother Fei? Long time no see.¡±

    ¡°Are you free to meet-up sometime this week? It¡¯s been so long, since graduation.¡±

 Chapter 24: Absenteeism

    <h4>Chapter 24: Absenteeism</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    The next morning, while lying on his bed, Zhao Yao felt something wet licking his face.

    As he opened his eyes, his adorable cat Mango, was on his bed staring nkly at him with its tongue out.

    ¡°What are you licking me for?¡± Zhao Yao asked helplessly while cing Mango back on the floor. Looking at the other side of his bed, Matcha, with its underside faced up, let out a loud growl. Recallingst night, Zhao Yao wondered how long he had stayed up ying with his phone again.

    Looking at Matcha¡¯s fat white belly, Zhao Yaomented, ¡± Stupid cat, you just seem to get fatter every day.¡±

    Zhao Yao proceeded to walk out of his room and saw Elizabeth lying on the floor, in front of an empty cat bowl. She then tapped the empty cat bowl and looked up at Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Don¡¯t we have an automatic cat feeder?¡± Zhao Yao asked.

    ¡°I don¡¯t like the taste and I¡¯m craving for something,¡± Elizabeth replied. ¡°I want to eat the cat rice you made yesterday.¡± As she was speaking, Elizabeth threw up onto the floor.

    Zhao Yao took a closer look at the mess Elizabeth made, and it seemed to be partially digested cat food.

    This clearly shows that not only did Elizabeth consume the cat food but also took in a greater amount than thest time she had it, leading to her indigestion and her body¡¯s reaction to it.

    ¡°You know that you hate eating normal cat food, why did you eat so much?¡± Zhao Yao bemoaned.

    Elizabeth patted the empty bowl and said, ¡°If I hadn¡¯t tried, I wouldn¡¯t have known that this cat food is so inedible. Hurry, go make me some cat rice, and fish, preferably the Norwegian salmon.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯ll have to settle for the cat food today, I have to make a trip back to the office.¡± Zhao Yao nned to return to thepany toplete the handover of his work as he resigned from his job. It didn¡¯t even matter to him if thepany didn¡¯t pay him for this month, he just wished to leave thepany as soon as possible.

    If not for his sense of responsibility, he would have just not turned up for work, severing any existing rtions with thepany. Although the job provided him with a few thousand dors sry, it didn¡¯t make up for all the extra work he had to put up with.

    Looking as Zhao Yao hurriedly left the house, Elizabeth grunted and shifted her gaze towards the automatic cat feeder.

    Zhao Yao breathed an air of confidence as he stopped in front of the parking barrier of hispany in his Porsche Panamera. He was getting stares from the security guards at the booth.

    Walking along the corridors, looking at the familiar walls, desks, and chairs in the office, he realized that he unknowingly had note to the office for almost two weeks.

    Just as he sat down at his desk, Yuan Ying walked up behind him and shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao!¡±

    He turned. ¡°Hi Boss!¡± he greeted. He then awkwardly continued, ¡± Sorry, I¡¯ve been really busytely, so busy that I can¡¯t report for work.¡±

    ¡°Too busy? You¡¯ve just graduated for only a year and you¡¯re already starting your own business? Just wait till you fail terribly ande begging me for your job back.¡± Yuan Ying sneered.

    Without the slightest change of expression, Yuan Ying said, ¡± I understand. How about this? As thepany has yet to find a recement for you, could you craft up a handover document, listing all the relevant information, designs, codes...¡±

    Halfway from finishing her sentence, she turned towards another male colleague and said, ¡°Lee, could youe over? Zhao Yao¡¯s handover document will be passed over to you. You¡¯ll be taking over his work and ensure that everything goes smoothly with absolutely no mistakes. If there is, you¡¯ll be held responsible.¡±

    Lee nodded his head and replied, ¡°Got it.¡±

    Hence, Zhao Yao carried on with his handover document. Although he had been gone for two weeks, he was still familiar with and responsible for the relevant modules that he had been working on for the past six months.

    Moreover, he had a good habit of keeping the files, codes, documents and notes very organized.

    He spent his daypleting his handover document, went home for the night and then continued the next morning. Around noon, he finally finished the document.

    He emailed the document to Lee and left a message in the email saying, ¡°Lee, I¡¯ve sent you the handover document. Please read through.¡±

    Upon receiving Zhao Yao¡¯s email, Lee nodded his head and said, ¡°Not Bad! It is very detailed and well written. However, I have to go through again to make sure there are no errors.¡±

    ¡°Rx. I¡¯ll be done in less than three hours. Don¡¯t you worry.¡± Lee assures Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Thanks, Lee!¡± Zhao Yao eximed.

    With no work on his hand, he turned to hisputer and surfed the Inte for any cat rice rted things.

    After three hours, Lee walked up to Zhao Yao, patted him on his back and said, ¡°Well done. Inside your document, there are all kinds of instation tools, manuals, and codes, veryplete and concise.¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled and said, ¡°The first time I joined thepany I was as lost as anybody else. Thus, I wrote the document as detailed as possible, making the next person who takes over my job life¡¯s easier.

    Lee nodded his head in agreement and said, ¡°I¡¯ve sent the email to Miss Yuan. You¡¯ll just have to wait for her confirmation and you can then proceed to the Human Resource Department toplete your resignation.¡±

    A short whileter, Zhao Yao got Yuan Ying¡¯s approval. He was slightly taken aback by her swift response andck of resistance. He expected her to dy the time and even force him to sit through the one-month notice period. Although he had done all the necessary transfer documents and procedures, he was prepared if things went sour. However, to his surprise, Yuan Ying was being very cooperative.

    Zhao Yao then proceeded towards the Department of Human Resource. As he walked up towards the front desk, he noticed a young girl, wearing dark overalls and a pair of nude-pink stockings that wrapped around her beautiful long legs. Her soft white neck glimmered under the light, leaving one fantasizing the possibility of kissing her.

    Zhao Yao knocked on the door. The girl raised her head, revealing a pair of dark beautiful eyes and kindly asked, ¡°Hi Sir, how may I help you?¡±

    Gazing into Sonia¡¯s eyes, Zhao Yao wasn¡¯t as nervous as before. By this moment, he had experienced managing tens of millions of funds, the existence of super-cats and BOOK also boosted Zhao Yao¡¯s confidence ten-fold.

    While admiring the beauty of Sonia, Zhao Yao maintained his cool and replied, ¡°I¡¯m Zhao Yao from the Research and Development Department. I¡¯m here toplete my resignation.¡±

    ¡°Sure, give me a moment,¡± she said. Sonia searched up Zhao Yao on thepany¡¯s database but frowned as the result shows on her screen.

    Zhao Yao had been gged for skipping work for two weeks and thepany had decided to terminate his contract.

    Sonia initially had a good first impression of Zhao Yao but changed because of the gged report.

    In the eyes of Sonia, such actions disyed ack of responsibility and unprofessional behavior of Zhao Yao.

    Ever since young, Sonia was very obedient and had always followed the rules. Thus, she could not tolerate those who did not follow them.

    So she nced disdainfully at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°You have been unterally terminated thebor rtionship with thepany because of your absenteeism for the past two weeks. As for this month¡¯s pay and bonuses, they¡¯ll be deducted ordingly by the number of days you¡¯ve been absent for work. The bnce will be paid to you on payday.¡±

    ¡°Absent?!¡± Zhao Yao frowned. ¡°But I¡¯ve sent an email to Miss Yuan, applying my leave for that period of time. She approved.¡±

    Sonia shrugged and said, ¡± Miss Yuan imed that she did not receive your email.¡±

    Zhao Yao was stunned but soon realized that this was Yuan Ying¡¯s tactic all along. She had him thinking he was on leave and even as he came back, she made him do a day and a half¡¯s work for nothing.

    Recalling that he still wrote documents and notes diligently for her, made him really mad.

    He initially thought that he had taken two weeks off, but now he was considered absent from work.

    Given so, his pay would then be reduced to less than a quarter, and his bonuses to nothing. Now, he had lost at least four thousand dors.

    Although Zhao Yao did not care about these few thousand dors, he simply would not take it lying down and hated the feeling of being yed.

    He looked at Sonia and said, ¡°Okay, I got it.¡±

 Chapter 25: Digging

    <h4>Chapter 25: Digging</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao frowned as he entered Yuan Ying¡¯s office. Darting his eyes towards the plumpdy behind the desk, he muttered, ¡°Manager Yuan, the others have beenmenting on my absenteeism, did you not receive my leave application?¡¯¡¯

    ¡°Oh, I did not receive your leave application¡± Yuan Ying replied with her apathetic tone, barely even ncing at Zhao Yao. ¡°As an old timer, you should know better that ourpany¡¯s policy on absenteeism leads to termination of the contract,¡± she briefly added.

    ¡°But Manager Yuan, you promised to grant me my leave the previous time.¡± Zhao Yao frowned as he rebutted. ¡°Is that so? I must have forgotten then¡± Yuan Ying shrugged as she replied nonchntly.

    ¡°Also, before the contract is terminated, your entire bonus this month will be deducted but your wages will still be paid for. I am very sorry,¡± she added.

    Her lips curled as a form of sympathy as she looked up at Zhao Yao. But all of it was a fa?ade covering her cruel and corrupt intentions.

    ¡°Honestly, these few thousands do not really matter to me. However, I do not intend to let this matter slide.¡± he calmly replied while exiting her office.

    ¡°Hmph, all talk!¡± Yuan Ying sneered as Zhao Yao shut the door behind him.

    Yuan Ying knew clearly that Zhao Yao did not have a wealthy background- with neither a house nor a car, and that arge part of his monthly sry is tied down as housing rent. She shrugged off his words as senseless talk and did not buy it. Zhao Yao, however, did not leave the building but in fact, returned to his office desk.

    At the end of the day, as Yuan Ying was leaving the office, she was surprised to see Zhao Yao still around but was not worried that he could do anything to her.

    Just as Yuan Ying was leaving the office, Zhao Yao stood up and started walking in the opposite direction of her office and stopped at an empty corner. Without warning, he dashed into Yuan Ying¡¯s Office.

    Unnoticed by anyone, Zhao yao appeared in Yuan Ying¡¯s office in a sh.

    He switched on theputer and smiled gingerly as he saw that a password screen popped out. He immediately tried the abbreviations of the current project but it was unsessful.

    He then proceeded to try the abbreviations of thepany, knowing that despite the second failure, he knows he will get in as he brought a hard drive with a hacking tool. Furthermore, as Yuan Ying¡¯s underling, Zhao Yao was confident that he could find her password.

    Thankfully, the second try was a sess, and it saved him some effort. After essing the desktop through the password, Zhao Yao being familiar with the interface of thepany¡¯s servers and project-rted codes, wiped out the entire project database.

    However, he knew that even so, every employee¡¯s ownputer backup could also restore the project but doing so was enough workload for Yuan Ying to go drown her sorrows. Congratting himself on his n, he continued erasing his fingerprints again.

    The next instant, he was back in his lonely corner, without anyone even noticing. Smiling, Zhao Yao nced at his colleagues working overtime and promptly made his way to the elevator.

    As a result, no one should be able to find out that it was Zhao Yao who deleted the project rted data; it could only be traced back to Yuan Ying¡¯sputer. Zhao Yao smiled as he started to imagine what Yuan Ying¡¯s battered face looked like.

    Just as he was waiting for the elevator, his colleague, Sonia, who was also getting off work, approached the elevator.

    However, Sonia simply nced up at him, frowned slightly, and then continued looking at her cell phone.

    Zhao Yao looked down at her suitcase and asked, ¡°business trip?¡±

    Sonia looked up at him with a ssy stare, remained silent and went back to fidgeting with her cellphone trying to book a taxi through an APP.

    Frustrated that there was no response after 20 minutes, Zhao Yao could not help but remind her, ¡°It is the peak period; there are too many people here to take a taxi. There are more than a dozen shopping malls andmercial buildings in the vicinity.¡¯¡¯

    Sonia nced up, did not speak, but her eyes were starting to sh a sign of anxiety.

    Finally, as the elevator arrived on the first floor, she realized that Zhao Yao did not leave with her, but set his course to the B2 floor; which could only mean one thing- he drove to work.

    Noticing this, Sonia looked at the time on her phone and with a hint of hesitation, stayed in the lift with Zhao Yao. Bewildered, Zhao Yao nced at her and asked what was happening.

    Shying down with a touch of embarrassment, Sonia looked at the time on her phone once more and finally mustered all her courage to say, ¡°I am in a hurry to catch the airne that is leaving at half past seven, may I trouble you to fetch me there? I can even pay you the fare of a taxi.¡±

    Zhao Yao himself checked the time on his phone, slightly hesitant on agreeing as the airport was indeed a distance away.

    Suddenly, it was as if the other side of the Sonia revealed herself.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I was really rude to you before, but something urgently cropped up, I really cannot bete, I beg you to send me.¡± she pressed her palms together sympathetically.

    Looking at her white and delicate cheeks, coupled with a pair of big puppy eyes aching for sympathy, Zhao Yao admitted that his heart may have softened for her alluring beauty and sincerity to apologize. But deep down he knew that beauty was the main factor.

    Zhao yao nodded and replied, ¡°Okaye with me.¡±

    Sonia heaved a sigh of relief, ¡°I am really thankful; I usually take the subway but did not expect such difficulty in getting a taxi after work. I will definitely pay the taxi price to make it up to you.¡± she eximed with much gratitude.

    ¡°No problem,¡± Zhao Yao replied coolly, waving it off.

    As Sonia followed Zhao Yao to his car, she was stunned by the unique design of his Porsche Pe Mna.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Hop in!¡± Zhao Yao broke the air of silence from her astonishment as he got into the driver¡¯s seat.

    ¡°Oh ... oh ...¡± Sonia quickly got in the car, sitting in the front passenger seat. At that moment, she started to wonder that perhaps Zhao Yao was not as ordinary as he seemed.

    Watching the engine start up, Sonia could not help but ask, ¡°This car is expensive, right?¡±

    ¡°Okay, a million or so. Although it is also a sports car, a Lamborghini and Ferrari is certainly noparison to this. ¡°, Zhao Yao calmly replied

    Hearing the figure of 1 million, her eyes lit up and she thought out loud, ¡°Hmm, that¡¯s not bad.¡±

    Originally, in her eyes, Zhao Yao was just an unscrupulous and employee that was often absent without reason. However, at the moment, under the fa?ade of the Porsche, she realized that he was indeed not as simple as he seemed.

    ...

    On the other side of the office building, just beside the bus stop, Yuan Ying was all smiles with several female colleagues of the administrative department of thepany.

    Although Zhao Yao will still leave and dy the duration of her project, she was in a good mood today. ¡°Thousands of dors in wages and bonuses should be enough to keep him in pain.¡± she thought to herself.

    On seeing the arrival of the shuttle, Yuan Ying did not get on but remained in wait.

    ¡°Mary, you are not boarding the shuttle?¡± her colleagues reminded. Mary was Yuan Ying¡¯s English name.

    Yuan Ying shook her head and said, ¡°No, my husband is picking me up today.¡±

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    ¡°Wow how sweet.¡±

    ¡°Your husband sure loves you a lot¡±

    ¡°Mary, your husband bought a car?¡±

    The other party has finally raised the question which Yuan Ying replied humbly but slightly proud, ¡°Yeah, I already told him not to buy a car but he kept on insisting on buying one. We all work in the city where there are train and bus services. Do you think there is any use in buying a car?¡±

    A colleague beside responded, ¡°After all, it¡¯s still convenient to own a car¡±

    ¡°You can even go on a car trip and explore¡±

    ¡°Next time life would be easier when you bring your kids around.¡±

    ¡°Oh yeah Mary, what car did your husband buy?

    Delighted that the other party has asked the most important question which Yuan Ying was waiting to answer, she acted as if she is recalling and hesitantly answered, ¡°I think it was some BMW. Sigh, he said that it costs three to four hundred grand. I don¡¯t know cars that well, can¡¯t figure out why he bought such an expensive car.¡±

    The colleagues nearby gave an envious look and expressed, ¡°Such a brilliant car, your husband must be doing very well.¡±

    ¡°Sigh, my husband is merely driving a 90 plus grand car. I¡¯m even ashamed to visit my rtives¡¯ housesst year.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll be honest with you guys, but please don¡¯t be angry,¡± Yuan Ying conveyed cockily.

    ¡°To me, cars below a hundred grand are not worthy to be referred to as a car. Previously when my husband hadn¡¯t bought a car, I told him if he wants to buy a car, it has to be above 200 grand. I will not get into a car that is anything below that value. Those below a hundred grand are the real frightening ones. Have you seen those locally-produced eight to nighty grand cars? They get crushed very easily! I¡¯m never going to sit in these cars.¡±

    The faces of the female colleagues turned ck instantly upon hearing that and no words were spoken.

    Another female colleague said, ¡°In the end, Mary¡¯s husband is still the most capable, he is only 30 years old this year right? You are married to the best guy among us all.¡±

    ¡°Haha, it¡¯s just luck. Hispany has been doing quite well this year¡±, Yuan Ying said sheepishly, while she was secretly delighted.

    Just at this moment, a Porsche Palmera appeared in front of a shuttle bus stop, slowly driving past the crowd and heading towards the main gate of the office building.

    Upon seeing Zhao Yao and Sonia beyond the windows of the car, Yuan Ying, as well as several female colleagues who were there, were all shocked beyond words.

    ¡°Zhao Yao?¡± Yuan Ying stared at the sports car ahead. Although she may not know the model of the car, from the car¡¯s one-of-the-kind and seamless design, it is obvious that the car is worth quite a fortune.

    As the silhouette the car disappeared, a female colleague nearby hurriedly began to gossip.

    ¡°Is that Zhao Yao? How is he driving a sports car?¡±

    ¡°I recognize that car! Wasn¡¯t Liu Tao driving this car?¡±

    ¡°Liu Tao?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s the character Andy in <Ode to Joy>! Haven¡¯t you watched the TV series <Ode to Joy>?¡±

    ¡°Oh yes oh yes! It¡¯s the car Andy was driving. It is worth over a million!¡±

    ¡°I also saw Sonia in the same car!¡±

    ¡°Absurd! If someone asks me for a date driving the same car, I would also agree¡±

    Hearing the chatters of the colleagues around, Yuan Ying couldn¡¯t bear to look at the sports car that left. She finally understood what Zhao Yao meant when he said that he didn¡¯t care less about a few thousand dors. He was not trying to put up a strong front, he really meant it when he said it.

    Looking at herself, she just looked like a clown in front of others. This made her feel really hurt and jealous of Zhao Yao.

    Just at this moment, Yuan Ying¡¯s phone rang. She peered at her phone¡¯s disy and it read, ¡°Hey, what¡¯s up?¡±.

    ¡°Manager Yuan, it¡¯s bad! Our server code, as well as data, have all been deleted! Even the backup data is all gone!¡±

    ¡°What?!¡± Suddenly Yuan Ying felt a headache and her face turned livid. ¡°Don¡¯t hang up, I¡¯ll be right on my way!¡±

    With thetest version of the server code and database deleted, even with the help of the developers¡¯ own original saved version, sad to say, restoration might still take one to two weeks of work. The progress of the project is once again dyed, tarnishing Yuan Ying¡¯s own work performance.

    Once she thought about this, the look on her face became worse.

    At this moment, Zhao Yao¡¯s previous words struck her.

    ¡°....But for this matter, I will not let it slide easily.¡±

    With her eyebrows closed together, she questioned with rage in her heart whether It was Zhao Yao¡¯s doing.

    However, Yuan Ying did not have the slightest evidence and after a series of investigations, it was found that herputer essed the server and deleted everything.

    Upon hearing the results, Yuan Ying¡¯s face turned ck, and looking at the surprised res of the people around, she almost spat blood.

    ...

    On the other hand on the Palmera¡¯s passenger seat, Sonia looked at Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°You don¡¯t have a good rtionship with Manager Yuan?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought about it and think that there is nothing he could not say, so he replied, ¡°I told her I applied for leave but she was angry that I was quitting. So she purposely considered that as being absent from work and even deducted my sry. Do you even believe that?¡±

    Sonia looked at Zhao Yao and she was only thinking about that Palmera in front of her. She felt that rich people who could afford to drive this type of car did not need to spread lies on small matters like these.

    ¡°I believe you.¡± Nodded Sonia who apologized, ¡°Sorry, I¡¯ve mistaken you previously.¡±

    Looking at Sonia¡¯s remorseful look, Zhao Yao could only tear up.

    ¡°This is the power of driving a sports car. Once I have a sports car, she will believe whatever I say.¡±

    On the other side, Sonia curiously asked, ¡°Did you resign for a new job?¡±

    ¡°Nah, I don¡¯t wish to work for others anymore. I want to set up my own business.¡± Zhao Yao giggled and replied.

    ¡°Wow, business!¡± Sonia spoke with envy, ¡°Have you found investors, or your family....¡± Looking at the Palmera in front, she believed that Zhao Yao must be born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Only then could he retire so early to set up his own business.

    ¡°I came from a humble family.¡± Zhao Yao shrugged off and said, ¡°I hadn¡¯t found any partner, I intend to use my savings for these few years as the seed fund for my business.¡±

    Although Sonia did not encourage setting up a business at a young age and without family background, she still admired his charisma and capability.

    As both of them chatted, they reached the airport and Sonia left the car. As she left, she waved and revealed a wide smile, ¡°Thank you. Without you, I would have missed the flight!¡±

    ¡°Its nothing much!¡±

    Seeing the silhouette of the Palmera leaving, Sonia suddenly came to her senses and hit her head, ¡°Oh god, I¡¯ve forgotten to pay.¡± She frowned as she did not want to be seen as a cheapo.

    Zhao Yao, on the other hand, did not care about all these and called with his phone.

    ¡°Hey? Brother Fei? Have you reached?¡±

    ¡°Oh yes, I will take roughly half an hour before I reach. Not in a hurry, no rush!¡±

    Once the call ended, Zhao Yao headed towards the restaurant which he had made reservations. Brother Fei was his fellow roommate in his university days.

    As Brother Fei¡¯s father and uncle were policemen, he also became a Policeman after he graduated. Although he did not hold a high ranking position, he was very well-informed.

    Zhao Yao approached him this time around as he hoped he could help him with a suicide case.

 Chapter 27: Investigation

    <h4>Chapter 27: Investigation</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    In a restaurant¡¯s private room, Zhao Yao was sitting at the table as he awaited the arrival of brother Fei, his ssmate from university.

    All of a sudden, the door to the room was kicked open, apanied by a loud boom. A slim, wretched-eyed teenager was forcefully thrown into the room.

    A tanned and muscr figure entered right after, and immediately eximed, ¡°my apologies for beingte,¡± as he saw Zhao Yao.

    A look of bewilderment was all over Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he looked at the handcuffed scrawny teenager and eximed, ¡°This is...¡±

    ¡°I bumped into him stealing while taking the metro, I cannot simply let him be, can I?¡± said brother Fei nonchntly with a smile. ¡°Besides, if I were to bring him back to the police station to take his statements, I will probably have to workte into the night till 11. Therefore, I can only bring him here, have a meal, then drag him back to the station.¡±

    ¡°You surely are the People¡¯s Hero.¡± Zhao Yao said with a smile, ¡°your work sure is demanding!¡±

    ¡°I merely apprehended a small-time thief. If the other party had a dozen people, I would definitely have pretended to not see it and take another path!¡± As Fei was speaking, he called for the waiter, ¡°have we ordered? Quickly serve the dishes! I haven¡¯t even had time for lunch today!¡±

    The teenager by the side begged, ¡°I was wrong, big brother! Please spare me this time.¡±

    He fired a nce at the teenager and preached, ¡°Sit still, if you had known the consequences, why did you even do it in the first ce?¡±

    After a hearty meal with everyone satiated, Fei looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°I suppose you didn¡¯t purely want to treat me to a meal? Is there anything you want to tell me?¡±

    ¡°Alright man! Big Brother Fei sure has a keen sense after being a cop for a year.¡± Zhao Yao pulled himself to Fei¡¯s side as he said in a soft voice, ¡°you are aware of Bai Yunlu¡¯s murder case right?¡±

    The curious teenager sitting in the corner found himself unable to hear anything despite trying his best since Zhao Yao lowered his voice as he spoke.

    However, Fei frowned as he was listening to the question. Immediately, he sent the teenager out and cuffed him outside before returning and questioned, ¡°why do you ask? This is actually quite a serious case.¡±

    Zhao Yao calmly regurgitated the exnation which he had long thought of. ¡°I personally knew that olddy who was murdered, I don¡¯t ask for much, all I want to know is how the investigation is getting along.¡±

    Song Fei frowned as he listened. Strictly speaking, matters of such ssifications should not be disclosed to outsiders at all, but since he and Zhao Yao go way back, and based on Zhao Yao¡¯s character... After careful considerations of the pros and cons involved, he nodded his head and shared, ¡°Alright, I can help you ask around regarding this matter but to my knowledge, this is an extremely tricky case and you definitely should keep yourself out of it. On top of that, please do not tell another soul about whatever I have to tell you afterward!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry!¡±, Zhao Yao said as he wiped his mouth. ¡°Have you forgotten? My lips are really tight! Remember all your secrets that you shared with me while we were in university...¡±

    ¡°You punk.¡± Song Fei coughed as he stood up and said, ¡°Alright then, I will be making a move first, just wait out for my good news.¡±

    As he watched Song Fei bring that teenager away, Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Whatever happens next will have to depend on the police investigation already.¡± At that moment, Zhao Yao discovered someone had added him on his WeChat as he switched on his phone.

    ¡°Huh? Sonia?¡± Zhao Yao stared at the profile picture and discovered that the person who has added him was Sonia. He epted the friend request after dazing for a moment.

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, I forgot to pay you for the ride. I got your WeChat from your colleague.¡± She sent a blushing emoticon alongside her exnation before sending over a Red Packet.

    Zhao Yao epted the Red Packet and replied, ¡°Not an issue.¡±

    To think that the girl he was crushing on just a few weeks back actually added him on his WeChat, Zhao Yao could only think of it as life is full of surprises.

    He understood that Sonia wasn¡¯t someone materialistic. It was just that there¡¯s an irresistible charm to what wealth could do in the materialistic world they now live in; it definitely made an individual, be it guy or girl, more attractive.

    It was just as if the exact same person, driving a sports car while wearing branded goods, was naturally more attractive than wearing in clothes and squeezing amongst many in a crowded bus.

    As he got home, Zhao Yao saw Matcha lying on his bed amid the magnificent living room, watching a cartoon on a phone with one paw, and fumbling around with a ¡®cat stick¡¯ with the other.

    Mango squatted by the sofa, with his marble-like eyes glued to the fake mouse attached to the cat stick and being teased by the cat stick Matcha was holding onto, swinging his head and moving about ording to the rhythm of the cat stick.

    As he nced at Mango, Matcha said in a disdainful tone, ¡°Foolish creature, bow before my mighty stick!¡±

    Zhao Yao said helplessly, ¡°Stop bullying Mango already.¡±

    ¡°Me, bullying him?¡± Matcha eximed. ¡°He should be happy that I¡¯m around to y with him! Ignorance is indeed bliss, just a simple cat stick and it entertains him so much, I¡¯m starting to miss those days when I was younger, when a ball can keep me entertained for the entire afternoon.

    ¡°Sigh, even if I were to unlock God-mode and get a penta-kill in every single match, I

    won¡¯t be able to experience that simple happiness anymore.¡±

    Zhao Yao ridiculed, ¡°indeed, if we were to talk about getting owned by God-modes and the number of times you got penta-killed, you¡¯re probably the strongest on the server right?¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it all because of how crappy the mobile phone is designed towards cat users!¡± Matcha red at Zhao Yao as he eximed, ¡°Zhao Yao, the reason why I can never y Mobile Legends well is due to the fact that the phone screen always interferes with my move executions. The hardware restricts my potential!

    His eyes sparkled as he looked at Zhao Yao endearingly, showing Zhao Yao what was disyed on a page on the phone and said, ¡°Look at this! It¡¯s the joystick that¡¯s exclusively meant for Mobile legends, and you can attach it directly to the phone screen.¡±

    ¡°Buy one for me please?¡±

    ¡°Buy me a joystick today, and a Champion I will be tomorrow.¡±

    Zhao Yao leaned over to carry Matcha and instantly started squeezing his cheek, saying, ¡°sure, point noted, I will buy it for you tonight after you allow me to stroke you for an hour.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s chubby cheek was barely recognizable after getting squeezed by Zhao Yao as he retorted, ¡°You want to stroke me again? You have been stroking me so much these few days that all my fur will be gone!¡±

    As Zhao Yao needed to focus and meet his daily objectives, he had been stroking Matcha to train his ability, as well as ying Mobile Legends with him.

    ying Mobile Legends was alright, and initially getting stroked for an hour a day was fine too, but as time passed, Matcha began feeling difort all over.

    Besides, the hour-long power training makes one tired and hungry.

    ¡°Why don¡¯t you look for Elizabeth instead!¡± Matcha retorted.

    But how could his strength match Zhao Yao¡¯s? He was flipped over instantaneously, and a pair ofrge hands were on his white fluffy tummy, stroking to their heart¡¯s content.

    To be honest, even though Elizabeth was in his house, she has not been properly reined in and registered on BOOK. He had tried employing Elizabeth for some of the missions, but it was totally useless and thus, there was not really anything he could do.

    ¡°Alright, alright, after you are done with your training, I will carry you into Gold

    League.¡± said Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Meow~~¡± responded Matcha, ¡°also, don¡¯t forget about my Mobile Legends Android Phone stick-on Joystick!¡±

    ¡°I know, I know.¡±

    After stroking the cat, training his superpower, and grinding Mobile Legends for about an hour, Zhao Yao appeared with cat food for Mango, Matcha as well as Elizabeth, who were all eagerly waiting for his arrival.

    Just as he put down the cat food, three heads immediately dived towards it, wolfing down everything in sight.

    Seeing how happy they were, a faint smile could be seen across Zhao Yao¡¯s face.

    He went on to feed the stray cats in another room.

    Of all the stray cats, a few were already chummy with Zhao Yao. Two daring kittens surrounded Zhao Yao and meowed lovingly upon seeing him, with one of them even climbing up Zhao Yao¡¯s trousers.

    <h4>Chapter 28: Coincidence</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    ¡°Don¡¯t be so hasty, everyone has their share.¡±

    Unfortunately, since he came homete from work today, Zhao Yao hasn¡¯t had any time to research on cat food.

    He still harbored hopes of honing his skills on making cat food, at least to a minimum of premium quality, in order to enhance Matcha¡¯s culinary experience.

    After feeding the stray cats, Zhao Yao stepped out, only to find Elizabeth¡¯s bowl empty. Instead, she was neck-deep in Matcha¡¯s bowl, gobbling up his share. Her eyes glowed a bright red; she had activated her powers.

    Matcha merely stood aside, his body stiff and his face contorted in helplessness. Clearly, he was under the control of Elizabeth.

    However, in an instant, the bowl in front of Elizabeth shed slightly and reappeared in front of Matcha.

    ¡°Hehehehe, Xiaorprised?¡± Matcha wiped his cheek with his paw. ¡°This is my power, no one can steal my food from under my nose.¡±

    Elizabeth nced at Matcha with disdain. The crimson glow in her eyes shimmered, and Matcha had already slid the bowl right in front of her.

    ¡°You have my gratitude, ve... ¡±

    Then, at the next moment, both the food bowl and Matcha disappeared in a sh before reappearing several meters away. Matcha shook his head.

    ¡°No matter how many times you try, it¡¯s futile... My powers are invincible because I¡¯ve already ascended beyond the limits of a cat; I have be God!¡±

    ¡°The both of you,¡± said Zhao Yao as he picked up both cats. ¡°Stop arguing, and stop abusing your powers. Especially you, Elizabeth. Do you know you¡¯ve got a poor digestive system? And yet you¡¯re gorging yourself...¡±

    Just as he was halfway through his lecture, Elizabeth had already vomited as if on cue, and directly on Matcha as well.

    Seeing the stunned faces of Matcha and Zhao Yao, Elizabeth held her head up high and dered, ¡°Sorry, he was too ugly.¡±

    As if time had reXiaomed ticking, Matcha recovered and started wing at Elizabeth¡¯s face in a frenzy, only to be stopped by Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Calm down, calm down.¡±

    It took quite a bit of effort to calm Matcha¡¯s nerves, and after helping Matcha wash up, Zhao Yao set his sights on thest patrol mission in his daily routine. He decided to bring Matcha along, both to prevent the cats from continuing their feud, and for Matcha to chip in during the patrol.

    With Matcha perched atop Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulder, the searing heat greeted the both of them as they exited the elevator. They eximed in unison.

    ¡°It¡¯s so hot.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go back, Zhao Yao. Lying back in an air-conditioned room, watching TV or ying Mobile Legends, that¡¯s the life. Why do we have toe out on Xiaoch a warm day?¡± said Matcha, eyes staring aimlessly ahead.

    Zhao Yao exhaled a puff of warm air.¡± It is indeed too hot. Let¡¯s take the car.¡±

    Minutester, man and cat left the garage in a Porsche Panamera.

    Zhao Yao had intended to cruise around for an hour before heading back.

    However, just as he left the vicinity, he saw a man and a woman making a scene on the sidewalk. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was his university ssmate, Xiao Shiyu.

    In fact, she brokered the deal for his current house, and since their sales office was nearby, meeting her here was not umon.

    Furthermore, she had helped while he was moving to his new house andpleting the furnishing. Thus, he could not stand by and watch after seeing her being harassed by an unknown man.

    ...

    Xiao Shiyu frowned and eyed the man grabbing on to her shoulders. ¡°Let go, Bai Quan. What are you doing?¡±

    The man, a tall and slender youth dressed in a Xiaoit, replied, ¡°Shiyu, I¡¯m being serious, please believe me. I truly love you, and I¡¯m willing to die for you.¡±

    This youth eas Shi Yu¡¯s colleague, and ever since she was transferred to the ¡®Town Above the Sky¡¯ project to conduct sales, he fell in love with her at first sight. He would chat with her on WeChat or QQ virtually every day.

    However, Xiao Shiyu always kept her distance and rejected his advances.

    Regardless, Bai Quan still confessed to her after work today while dressed in a branded Xiaoit, and despite failing in his advances, he continued to pester Xiao Shiyu, causing her much distress.

    ¡°Bai Quan, I¡¯ve said before that it¡¯s impossible for the both of us, I don¡¯t have any feelings for you,¡± said Xiao Shiyu in exasperation.

    ¡°That¡¯s impossible, I know you like me, Shiyu,¡± Bai Quan replied, ¡°why else would you give me choctes on your first day here? Why else would you send me to the hospital when I Xiaoffered from a heatstroke that day?¡±

    ¡°I gave choctes to everyone,¡± said Xiao Shiyu helplessly, ¡°and that time with the heatstroke, I was the only person around, if I didn¡¯t send you to the hospital, who would?¡±

    Bai Quan shook his head, his eyes burning with passion and confidence.¡± Shiyu, give me one chance. I will make you the happiest woman alive. You have to trust me, I¡¯m different from before.¡±

    Xiao Shiyu touched her forehead in frustration.

    At this instant, a Porsche Panamera skidded to a halt beside them, and under Xiao Shiyu¡¯s shocked nce, Zhao Yao rolled down the car window and assessed the situation. ¡°Xiao Shiyu? Need a hand?¡±

    Faced with a sports car, Bai Quan frowned and released his grip on Xiao Shiyu¡¯s shoulders.

    Xiao Shiyu, heaving a sigh of relief, rushed to the front passenger seat and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, I¡¯ll have to trouble you to send me home.¡±

    Zhao Yao examined Bai Quan and replied, ¡°Need me to call the police?¡±

    ¡°No need to, he¡¯s my colleague. He¡¯s not a bad person, just slightly childish.¡±

    Bai Quan didn¡¯t stop Xiao Shiyu from boarding the car, only looking at Zhao Yao with hostility.

    ¡°Who are you? What¡¯s your rtionship with Shiyu?¡±

    Xiao Shiyu took the initiative. ¡°He¡¯s my ssmate. Bai Quan, I really do not have any feelings for you. Things like rtionships cannot be forced, go back and calm down a little bit.¡±

    Bai Quan gave a wry smile, eyeing the sports car in front of him.¡± No feelings? Ultimately, you just think I don¡¯t have money, right? Some other guyes around in a sports car and you¡¯re head over heels for him.¡±

    ¡°But let me tell you, you will regret this.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head and replied, ¡°Don¡¯t force the isXiaoe, dude. If she doesn¡¯t like you, why continue pestering her?¡±

    Bai Quan shot Zhao Yao a cold stare. ¡°You think you¡¯re good just because you have money? Your money was all handed to you by your parents. What else do you have other than money?¡±

    ¡°I...¡± Zhao Yao rolled his eyes. He wondered where he mentioned money in their conversation. However, he was indeed amused and felt like his ego was stroked after getting chastised for having nothing except money, and he let the corners of his lips lift and betray his feelings.

    From the perspective of Bai Quan, this smugness was a smile of arrogance and degradation.

    Bai Quan looked them both in the eye. ¡°Just a piece of advice for you nouveau riche, this world is not as simple as you imagine it to be. Money is useless most of the time.¡± Then, he turned his back on them and left.

    Xiao Shiyu gave a guilt-ridden smile. ¡°Sorry, I didn¡¯t expect him to be so extreme.¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at Xiao Shiyu, who was seated in the front passenger seat. Her tight-fitting Xiaoit enhanced her physique; her long hair tied up in a ponytail further highlighted her business-like demeanor.

    Upon hearing zXiao Shiyu¡¯s apology, Zhao Yao shook his head and replied, ¡°I¡¯m fine. More importantly, what about you? He¡¯s your colleague, he might still harass you.¡±

    Xiao Shiyu frowned. ¡°In the worst-case scenario, I would have to resign.¡±

    Xiaoddenly, she looked around at the Panamera and smiled. ¡°Is this your new car? Looks great. Seems expensive.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, a million dors, ¡± Zhao Yao replied. ¡°You might not believe me, but I didn¡¯t really want to buy it.¡±

    Xiao Shiyu looked at the Panamera with envy. ¡°I envy you, so young and yet you already have a car and a house. You already have a ce to call your own within Jiangmen.¡±

    Zhao Yao knew that Xiao Shiyu did not hail from the city and that she only got into a school in Jiangmen through examinations. To her, a house and a car might be a lifelong goal.

    Heforted her. ¡°I¡¯m just lucky. Don¡¯t worry, with your capabilities, a house is only a matter of time. Where do you live? I¡¯ll send you home.¡±

    At this instant, a meow was heard. Xiao Shiyu turned around in Xiaorprise and saw Matcha standing upright and proudly in the back seat, looking at her.

    ¡°You have a cat?¡± Xiao Shiyu eximed astonishingly. In the meantime, she ced the creature on herp. ¡°Its snowy white paws are so cute.¡±.

    Finding Matcha¡¯s paws irresistibly cute, Xiao Shiyu could not help stroking its paws. Matcha let out a soft purr and pounced towards Shiyu¡¯s chest.

    ¡°He¡¯s so well-behaved, what¡¯s his name?¡± She queried.

    ¡°Matcha¡± Zhao Yao said as he looked at the delighted cat.

    ¡°Silly cat, what are you doing?¡± he thought to himself.

    Matcha stretched out his paws onto Xiao Shiyu¡¯s chest and grinned, ¡°Zhao Yao, do you want to mate with her? I can help you!¡±

    ¡°Matcha, Matcha, your white paws are so adorable!¡± Shiyu giggled.

    ¡°See? She¡¯s such a gullible woman! With a few tricks, I can easily manipte and control her.¡±

    Matcha tapped his paws on Shiyu¡¯s chest and uttered, ¡°Treat me well and I¡¯ll settle this naivedy. How about that?¡±

    Zhao Yao smacked Matcha¡¯s head, leaving Shiyu appalled by his actions. Shiyu then proceeds to care for the adorable feline.

    Zhao Yao chuckled and joked, ¡°He will be fine. This cat is resilient as hell, I bet he could survive just by eating poop everyday¡±.

    ¡°I¡¯ll sue you for cat abuse, you little prick!¡± Matcha threatened.

    ¡°You little piece of shit, do you realize how long I have dreamt of doing what you just did?¡± Zhao Yao squabbled with envy while giving a pat on Matcha¡¯s head.

    Matcha let out a heart-rending meow, capturing Xiao Shiyu¡¯s attention. ¡°Careful, you wouldn¡¯t want to hurt Matcha¡± she replied, sounding like a worried mum.

    Zhao Yao raised his eyebrows in doubt, as he was certain that all he gave Matcha was a tiny flick. ¡°This silly cat was obviously putting on a show...¡± he thought.

    Meanwhile, Matchaidfortably in the arms of Xiao Shiyu, staring pitifully at her with his widened, affectionate eyes.

    Xiao Shiyu caressed Matcha¡¯s head and frowned, ¡°How can you be so violent? You¡¯re scaring the cat!¡±

    Zhao Yao darted towards Matcha, with the feline smirking proudly back at him, all while Shiyu¡¯spassion grew from the constant piteous look of Matcha¡¯s.

    Annoyed by Matcha¡¯s triumphant face, Zhao Yao threatened, ¡± Do you want me to release all the inscriptions?¡±

    Matcha¡¯s confident expression changed instantaneously and stared at Zhao Yao with indignation.

    Xiao Shiyu remarked with an affectionate tone, ¡°Take a look at Matcha, he¡¯s already hurt and distressed... Please stop abusing it...¡±

    ...

    On the other side, Bai Quan gazed dearly at the leaving Panamera, realizing that he had clenched his right fist unconsciously. Soon after, his arm started to disappear.

    Uncertain of his direction, Bai Quan gazed into the distance. Eventually, he made his way towards Paradise City steadily.

    Henceforth, Bai Quan decided to investigate the background of this rich brat. If he continued to harass Xiao Shiyu, he wouldn¡¯t hesitate to teach him the harsh realities of this world.

    ...

    After sending Xiao Shiyu home, Zhao Yao headed for a spin, where he met his daily patrol target of one hour. Uponpletion, he made his way home with Matcha eagerly.

    Observing his BOOK, Zhao Yao grinned in excitement. Together with today¡¯s 10 EXP, he had fulfilled the criteria of having 100 EXP to Level Up BOOK.

    BOOK : Lv(100/100)

    Diamond: 3

    Pet(1/1) : Matcha

    Level: Lv2(12/100)

    Loyalty: 100

    Ability: Timefreeze ; Able to freeze time for 6s (Cooldown of 6 seconds)

    Looking at the ¡®plus¡¯ signs on BOOK¡¯s panel, Zhao Yao had a choice. He was able to use the experience stored in the BOOK to upgrade itself, to continue umting more experience points or to transfer them to Matcha.

    As Zhao Yao focused on the ¡®plus¡¯ sign, a golden sh lit over BOOK instantaneously. Countless messages appeared and shed through his mind.

    Zhao Yao felt his body aggressively shaken, with his insides feeling as if they were razed and twisted by a raging bulldozer.

    By the time Zhao Yao recovered from the distraught and regained consciousness, he was kneeling on the ground, covered in sweat from head to toe.

    Matcha and Mango meowed continuously as Elizabeth stared at Zhao Yao from a distance.

    ¡°What happened to you?Are you feeling nauseous from eating too much?¡± Matcha probed Zhao Yao.

    ¡°You¡¯re the one that¡¯s going to vomit!¡± Zhao Yao refuted, standing up while turning his neck. At that instance, after he leveled up, Zhao Yao realized the significance of this upgrade.

    Firstly, changes in BOOK¡¯s panel :

    BOOK: Lv2(0/1000)

    Diamond:3

    Pet(1/ 2) : Matcha

    Level: Lv2(12/100)

    Loyalty: 100

    Ability : Timefreeze ; Able to freeze time for 6s (Cooldown of 6 seconds)

    Upon reaching Level two, BOOK will require 1000 EXP to progress to Level 3, leaving Zhao Yao daunted.

    His pet limit had increased to two, allowing him to attain Elizabeth.

    Secondly, he became physically stronger.

    When BOOK leveled up, Zhao Yao felt a wave of coldness and mysterious source of strength that integrated into his body.

    This source of strength had a familiar aura, one that resembled Matcha.

    ¡°Matcha¡¯s strength and mine have integrated even closer together... my body ...¡± Zhao Yao uttered, as he moved his limbs.

    His ears and noses reacted as if he could hear the stray cats moving within the room. He was also able to sniff the pungent smell from the cats¡¯ toilet, which wasn¡¯t too pleasant.

    At this moment, Zhao Yao had incorporated most of Matcha¡¯s qualities.

    ¡°Now, I have gained additional cat strength,¡± Zhao Yao thought, clenching his fist. He smiled and said, ¡°My physical ability has been enhanced, my reflexes seem faster, and my senses have improved. I certainly didn¡¯t expect the upgrade to bring about such significant benefits¡±.

    Apparently, every time BOOK levels up, a part of Zhao Yao attains one of his pet¡¯s abilities.

    When a level 1 BOOK upgrades to Lvl 2, the Supercat that was previously tamed will have a portion of its abilities upgraded.

    Simrly, when a level 2 BOOK upgrades to Lvl 3, the Supercat that was previously tamed will have a portion of its abilities upgraded.

    Hence, you will have (N-1) cat power when BOOK reached N level.

    Although an Orange Tabby might be ordinary, Matcha was special. With his unique powers, along with his sharp-witted sense of hearing and smell, this resulted in Zhao Yao bing more agile and nimble.

    Feeling stronger with his enhanced abilities, Zhao Yao nced at the mission panel.

    The original mission guide to purchase a car and today¡¯s daily mission had beenpleted. The mission panel showed level upgrading and taming Elizabeth as the main tasks left.

    Now that the upgrade was done, Zhao Yao saw an additional mission guideline on the BOOK, exclusive to subduing Elizabeth.

 Chapter 30: Exchange

    <h4>Chapter 30: Exchange</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Mission Guidelines: Lazing around is inappropriate, money is an important factor too.

    Mission Objective: Establish a shop that generates revenue through cat interaction within three months.

    Mission reward: 30 experience points and the opening of a diamond hall.

    Penalty for failure: Reduction of 100 experience points.

    Upon reading the Mission Guidelines, Zhao Yao felt a wave of uneasiness, apanied by a depressed sigh as he noticed the mission details.

    ¡°Does it bring you joy emptying my pockets...¡± Zhao Yao sighed, as he understood that the remaining 90 000 dors will be gone in no time.

    Zhao Yao hushed his thoughts and decided to focus on the main mission.

    His objective was to raise BOOK to Level 2, and to tame Elizabeth eventually.

    Everything went ording to Zhao Yao¡¯s n. BOOK rose to level 2, allowing his pet¡¯s maximum level to reach 2 as well. Therefore, his next step was topletely tame Elizabeth and register her into BOOK.

    ¡°How do I do this... How do Ipletely tame her...¡± Zhao Yao pondered in frustration.

    Zhao Yao turned his head to face the window and witnessed a ball of fur that resembled Elizabeth. His heart stirred with emotions, as he chanted to himself, ¡°I will ovee, capture and register her into BOOK! I will!¡±

    He stared vehemently at Elizabeth for the next few minutes but her reaction shocked him.

    Elizabeth was unfazed, batting an eye at him before turning back to sleep.

    ¡°No reaction I see...¡± Zhao Yao frowned, ncing at Matcha thereafter.

    Matcha slouched on Mango, before licking her **, proceeding onto her back and her head... living up to his status of a ¡°higher ss¡± of cats.

    Mango remained in her position, dazed.

    ncing at Matcha, Zhao Yao pondered ¡°How did I manage to tame Matcha...¡±

    It didn¡¯t take long for Zhao Yao toe to a realization. ¡°It must be that time... during that earthquake...¡±

    ¡°Matcha and my power exploded in unison for the first time to protect ourselves...¡± He thought.

    ¡°That must have been when I truly tamed Matcha...¡±

    ¡°Or... maybe not...¡± Zhao Yao sighed, recalling another incident which urred about a month and a half ago.

    While he was nning to sterilize Matcha at Starry Animal Clinic, Matcha bit Zhao Yao, invoking unique changes in Zhao Yao... Which allowed him tomunicate with Matcha!

    ¡°Could it be this time...¡± he wondered to himself yet again. The deeper he thought, the more sense it made.

    He headed to Elizabeth, stroking her furry head.

    Being a blue puppet cat, Elizabeth had light grey, M-shaped lines on her forehead. The rest of her body was covered with thickyers of beautiful fur. Her chest and neck regions had an abundance of white fur as if it was a white scarf.

    Puppet cats were a special breed, which exins Elizabeth¡¯s unusually big size. She was at least three times Mango¡¯s size, two times as big as Matcha. Her unusual stature was one to behold.

    ¡°Go ahead, bite me!¡± Zhao Yao remarked, inching his arm close to Elizabeth¡¯s mouth.

    ¡°You must be nuts...¡± Elizabeth thought to herself, mocking Zhao Yao¡¯s foolishness.

    ¡°Just one bite... please...¡± he thought, pushing towards her mouth.

    ¡°Are you a fool? Take your dirty hands away¡± She replied coldly.

    Zhao Yao stood unfazed, fixated on his goal. Determined, he grabbed Elizabeth¡¯s tail mercilessly with his free hand.

    Although puppet cats are known to grow long and thick tails, Elizabeth was different. Her tail was soft and fluffy, much like a ball of cotton.

    As her tailed was yanked, Elizabeth felt a jolt of danger. Her blue sapphire eyes widened in anger, and her immediate reflex was to bite Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao shrieked in pain, noticing two bite marks on his index finger.

    ¡°Don¡¯t ever touch my tail!¡± Elizabeth huffed as she retreated two steps back.

    Zhao Yao did not seem to care, focusing on his wound as it disappeared gradually.

    ¡°Was I... sessful?¡± he thought to himself with a smirk on his face.

    With a look of disdain, Elizabeth nced at Zhao Yao, who was giggling sheepishly to himself. She shook her tail and promptly leaped out of the window.

    At the back of Zhao Yao¡¯s head, his BOOK twinkled slightly. He knew what had happened.

    The number of pets tamed became two, but the main cat on the interface was still Matcha.

    ¡°Something¡¯s wrong... Where¡¯s Elizabeth?¡± He pondered, with worry written all over his face.

    Just as this thought appeared, BOOK¡¯s interface flickered. Matcha¡¯s information was being reced with Elizabeth¡¯s.

    Zhao Yao was pleasantly surprised and decided to try something else.

    ¡°Matcha¡± He whispered to himself.

    ¡°Elizabeth¡±

    ¡°Matcha¡±

    ¡°Elizabeth¡±

    After multiple tries, Zhao Yao smiled. He realized something.

    He realized that BOOK will disy information ording to the name of the cat that he called out to himself.

    At this moment, BOOK is:

    BOOK: LV 2(50/1000)

    Diamonds: 3

    Pets(2/2): Elizabeth

    Grade: Lv1 (0/10)

    Loyalty Level: 60

    Ability: God¡¯s Ray, creating visual and auditory hallucinations with her sound. Able to control a being through her gaze. Ability can be canceled when the affected being receives a heavy knock.

    Current main missionpleted, earning 50 experience points.

    Main Mission: Obtain as much cat power, capture more supercats with unique abilities.

    Mission Objective: BOOK to reach Level 3, tame third supercat.

    Mission Reward: 500 experience points.

    Penalty for failure: None.

    This time, Zhao Yao was calm. He had predicted the mission objectives long before.

    His main source of worry turned to Elizabeth¡¯s powers. The more he read, the more he understood the potential of God¡¯s Ray...

    He grinned as that thought came to him.

    ¡°Just as Elizabeth said, this ability is really useful...¡±

    ¡°60 vs 100 huh...¡± Zhao Yao thought to himself, after looking at her loyalty points.

    ¡°This is a lot worse than Matcha...¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve spent too little time with Elizabeth, no wonder the trust is low...¡±

    Zhao Yao understood that cats were rtively reserved and did not trust other animals easily. Thus, time is needed if a mutual trust was to be established.

    With a greater understanding of God¡¯s Ray, Zhao Yao was determined to try it out.

    ¡°Creating hallucinations using sound and controlling a being through my gaze... Interesting...¡± Zhao Yao thought to himself.

    ¡°Matcha!¡± Zhao Yao remarked, darting towards Matcha, who was still busy licking Mango.

    The next moment, following with his thought, where Mango was a few moments ago turned into a pile of yellowish urine. Disgusted with what¡¯s below him, Matcha meowed and retreated backward. Matcha cast a look of disgust upon realizing that his fur had been stained.

    Zhao Yao giggled at Matcha¡¯s predicament but wanted to try something else. Turning his eyes slightly reddish, Zhao Yao tried to activate his newfound body-controlling, psychic abilities.

    Except this time, it failed.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± he frowned, as he tried to activate his abilities yet again. This time, his gaze shimmered with a red glow.

    As his vision started to blur, countless memories shed past him. What happened next shocked him.

    He felt like his body multiplied into two copies!

    Zhao Yao advanced forward, attempting to control Matcha¡¯s body.

    Just as he barely managed to control Matcha, Matcha¡¯s body shed and disappeared right in front of Zhao Yao. Without mercy, Matchanded heavy blows on Elizabeth.

    Zhao Yao was momentarily surprised, but snapped out of it immediately and realized something.

    At that very moment where Matcha felt controlled, he activated his abilities resulting in the sessful counter-attack on Elizabeth.

    ¡°Hmm... Seems like I am unable to use Matcha¡¯s Time Stop when I switch to Elizabeth¡¯s power...¡± Zhao Yao thought as he recalled Matcha¡¯s sudden sh.

    ¡°Is this what people see when they witness Time Stop? It looks like teleportation!¡±

 Chapter 31: Territory

    <h4>Chapter 31: Territory</h4>

    ¡°Hey ve, are you mad?¡±

    ¡°Fatty, you are the one that ced me under your control!¡±

    ¡°Listen! I¡¯m not fat, my fur¡¯s just slightly thicker!¡±

    ¡°Nice try fatty, I bet your weight¡¯s double of mine.¡±

    Noticing that Elizabeth and Matcha were on the verge of a cat fight, Zhao Yao hurriedly eximed, ¡°Break it Matcha, I was the one who used Elizabeth¡¯s ability.¡±

    Both felines turned around simultaneously and looked at Zhao Yao; seemingly looking for an exnation.

    ¡°I can use your ability, right? Somehow I¡¯m now able to borrow Elizabeth¡¯s ability as well.¡±

    Having connected all the dots, Elizabeth eximed, ¡°No wonder, I have always thought we had identical abilities... so this is why...¡±

    ¡°Oh what use is her ability, with o¡¯ Matcha¡¯s formidable ability ain¡¯t no one can stand in our way.¡± Matcha purred loftily.

    Elizabeth turned around, but can¡¯t seem to be bothered with that remark.

    ¡°Every ability has its pros and cons. The more our abilities, the better.¡± Zhao Yao continued, ¡± Plus, I also seem to be able to improve the abilities.¡±

    Hearing that, Elizabeth turned to face Zhao Yao, with her eyes twinkling with excitement.

    ¡± Did you just say improve?¡±

    ¡°Yep, Matcha¡¯s ability was improved by me as well.¡± While saying, Zhao Yao took a nce at Elizabeth¡¯s experience panel and smoothly added 10 points to her from the BOOK¡¯s experience.

    BOOK: LV 2 (40/1000)

    Diamond: 3

    Pet (2/2): Elizabeth

    Grade: Lv 2 (0/100)

    Loyalty level: 60

    Ability: God¡¯s Ray, creating visual and auditory hallucinations with her sound. Able to control a being through her gaze. Ability can be cancelled when the affected being receives a heavy knock.

    Elizabeth reached level 2 in a blink of an eye. Zhao Yao then opened up her skill tree for confirmation, noticing that Elizabeth too had two skills avable for choosing.

    Stealth Dominion: The ability to release sound waves from one¡¯s body which is undetectable by normal means. Effective radius is 30 meters with a therapeutic effect on animals¡¯ internal organs as well as raising their bone density. Furthermore, it soothes one¡¯s emotions, improving its inner health, thus increasing lifespan.

    Gemini¡¯s Light: The ability to control 2 separate targets simultaneously.

    After reading through both skill descriptions, Zhao Yao immediately chose Stealth Dominion. Once the skill activates, all Zhao Yao had to do was to stay by Elizabeth¡¯s side and reap the benefits of automated body strengthening. This skill kept his body in good shape and ensured longevity.

    Furthermore, he can even im this skill for himself.

    This was the main thought that drove him to choose Stealth Dominion over the other. Zhao Yao then proceeded to activate the Stealth Dominion skill. He immediately felt a slight lift followed by concealed vibrations within his body. Instantaneously, the sound waves echoed through the room.

    Apanying these waves, Zhao Yao felt a gradual rxation of his entire body; simr to the feeling one experiences when he or she leaves the city and embracing mother nature. With every inch of his body at ease, Zhao Yao could not have felt any better.

    He felt that he was in Heaven.

    Apanying Zhao Yao all this time, both Matcha and Elizabeth felt the changes urring in their bodies and both turned to Zhao Yao, uttering ¡°What¡¯s this feeling...¡± uncontrobly.

    Zhao Yao gave them a wide grin before exining to them the effects of Stealth Dominion.

    ¡°Elizabeth, from now on, not only will you be able to create hallucinations from sound waves but be able to use sound to gradually strengthen you and your teammates¡¯ fitness !¡±

    ¡°Though the process is slow, it is purely automated. If you persevere for a few years, I¡¯m sure our fitness will improve significantly, not forgetting the fact that our life spans will be extended as well!¡± Zhao Yao eximed zealously.

    Elizabeth gave Zhao Yao a look of contempt before mumbling, ¡°what a boring ability¡±.

    In the next moment, she was off with her tail swinging nonchntly from side to side.

    On the other hand, there was dear old Matcha. He sprawled with his back to the ground, muttering, ¡°This is pure bliss¡± with a look of contentment.

    Mango, who was beside Matcha, mimicked his friend andidfortably on the ceramic tiles of the room stationarily. Mango¡¯s face lit up with extreme satisfaction.

    While Zhao Yao explored Stealth Dominion in greater detail, he realized that this skill¡¯s effective radius can be controlled. After multiple rounds of practices, Zhao Yao was then able to control the effective radius of Stealth Dominion to within his house.

    In the midst of trying out his new abilities, Zhao Yao stumbled upon a new problem. It was simr to the problem faced when he tried to exert control over Matcha for the first time, which failed.

    There was a probability of failure whenever he tries to activate Elizabeth¡¯s ability.

    ¡°The sess rate for activation is 60%...¡± Zhao Yao mumbled to himself as he scrolled through his BOOK¡¯s status, stopping at the panel showing Elizabeth¡¯s loyalty level. Afterparing the panel with the sess percentage, Zhao Yao had a thought.

    ¡°Is the sess rate of skill activation directly proportionate with the pet¡¯s loyalty level ?¡±

    ¡°Is this why I never had a problem with Matcha?¡± Zhao Yao pondered in his mind.

    After a few attempts, Zhao Yao whispered softly, ¡°Matcha.¡±

    Immediately, BOOK flipped to Matcha¡¯s profile, allowing Zhao Yao to activate Matcha¡¯s Time Stop again. At the same time, Zhao Yao¡®s Stealth Dominion was dispelled. Sound waves from Stealth Dominion can be felt emitting out from Elizabeth, with the vibrations surrounding Zhao Yao ¡®s entire body.

    Even though the sound waves were invisible to Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes, he felt the same feeling he experienced when he activated Stealth Dominion a while ago.

    Looking across at the seemingly nonchnt Elizabeth, who was facing the window, Zhao Yao could not help but smiled sheepishly and thought, ¡± Wouldn¡¯t hurt to be honest you know? I knew you liked your new ability .¡±

    As the vibrations pulsed through Zhao Yao¡¯s body, he was able to feel the fatigue from long hours of coding. The damage to his health from working overtime as well as remnants of wear and tear in his exhausted body slowly vanished with the help of Stealth Dominion.

    Having changed the selected pet in his BOOK to Matcha, Zhao Yao decided to test out timefreeze. He was able to activate timefreeze multiple times with zero failure.

    This confirmed his hypothesis.

    ¡°So it is true that the sess rate of activating a skill is affected by the pet¡¯s loyalty level. Looks like I¡¯ll have to gain Elizabeth¡¯s trust slowly.¡±

    After everything that happened today, Elizabeth was officially registered into Zhao Yao ¡®s BOOK, this showed that Elizabeth¡¯s daily consumption of cat¡¯s grains aided her increase in experience points.

    Within the next few days, Zhao Yao decided to research on cat food and the different kinds of businesses in the daytime, while following his usual routine at night, patrolling the streets with Matcha and Elizabeth.

    Since Elizabeth was now registered in the BOOK, it is possible for Zhao Yao to aplish missions with her, giving poor old Matcha the asional respite.

    For Elizabeth¡¯s case, she was able to master her new skill within a few days. This allows her to manipte the effective radius of Stealth Dominion to surround them when needed, allowing them to reduce the level of unwanted attention.

    With this routine, everyday was fulfilling despite having to maintain Stealth Dominion all the time. Zhao Yao felt that he was getting stronger day by day, reducing the level of fatigue.

    After finishing a patrolling mission tonight, Zhao Yao drove his Panamera back to the garage.

    Upon reaching, he opened the car door and gently lifted the fluffy Elizabeth up and headed towards the elevator. Unbeknownst to him, since the time he parked his car, a pair of eyes filled with ill intents had been following their actions.

    Bai Quan stood in the shadows of the underground carpark, narrowing his eyes to observe Zhao Yao.

    The past few days, he had been trying to contact Xiao Shiqin with little sess. She not only applied for leave but also rejected his calls and even cklisted his name on her WeChat ount; wanting to cut off all contact with him.

    As a result, he decided to direct all his hatred and anger towards Zhao Yao.

    From Bai Quan¡¯s perspective, Zhao Yao used his wealth to tempt Shiqin, causing the change in her affection and thus leaving him.

    ¡°So what if you have money? I¡¯ll show you that this world isn¡¯t as simple as you think .¡± Bai Quan whispered to himself with an icyugh. He started advancing towards Zhao Yao, with his limps disappearing after the first step. By the second step, he was gone.

 Chapter 32: Sneak Attack

    <h4>Chapter 32: Sneak Attack</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao walked towards the lift as he carried Elizabeth on his back, all while looking at the property pricing trends on his phone screen.

    ¡°Are you kidding me, I just bought the house and there¡¯s already a dip in the property pricing?¡±

    Recently, due to the continuous slight tremors throughout the whole of Jiangmen City, the housing market had been falling and there were even rumors going on endlessly.

    Some said it could be a premonition of a big earthquake resulted from the volcano activity in the Pacific Ocean.

    Some said it could be due to the country experimenting with secret weapons under the sea.

    There¡¯s also one rumor that sounded unreliable even, mentioning that it could be caused by the movement of a sea monster in the waters.

    In short, there were all sorts of rumors spreading. Even if the government stepped in, it would still be hard to prevent the drop of the properties¡¯ value.

    However, Zhao Yao was rather unlucky, he somehow bought a house when property pricing was at its highest. Then he had to witness the continuous drop of the value. Every time the price decreased, he felt like his heart was dripping blood.

    At this moment, Elizabeth¡¯s nose twitched and lifted it¡¯s head hastily.

    ¡°Hmm?¡± Zhao Yao responded as well. The power of Matcha as a solo cat highly increased his insight ability and to make things clear, his insight observation is now of a human plus a cat.

    In that instant, from behind, he could sense the sound of a slight collision in the ground beneath. He could feel the whiff of an unfamiliar smell gushing into his nose.

    Zhao Yao reacted instantaneously. Somehow, there is someone following him from behind.

    But yet when he turned to look, there was no one not even a shadow to be seen.

    Nheless, already in the mode of invisibility and following behind Zhao Yao from a few meters, Bai Quan stopped in his track. He was caught off guard and felt a little stunned as Zhao Yao who was in front of him, turned his back to look behind.

    ¡°Wow? That reaction was rather acute but it¡¯s of no use still.¡± Bai Quan startedughing. He had already used this invisibility power a few times to steal jewelry, cash, and other expensive items. He even knocked down over ten security guards onto the ground all by himself.

    With this special invisible power of his, his body and the clothes on him could be entirely hidden in the state of invisibility.

    However, when he is in the mode of invisibility, he needed to hold his breath. Which meant that as long as he took a breath, he would show himself.

    Despite this, it was still undeniably a very strong form of power.

    Thus, even with Zhao Yao standing before his eyes, he was not mindful at all.

    ¡°Hehe, shall scare him and let him move out of this small neighborhood.¡±

    Bai Quan thought for a while then reached out his hand towards Zhao Yao and touched his shoulder.

    At this point, Zhao Yao¡¯s observation, sensitivity, and agility have surpassed far more than his previous self. Especially so when Matcha was added to him and on top of it with Elizabeth as a cat.

    Just as Bai Quan¡¯s palm was about to touch his shoulder, Zhao Yao¡¯s body had moved swiftly to avoid the contact.

    ¡°Hey, just a while ago, I felt someonee. Did you see it?¡± Zhao Yao asked as he conversed with Elizabeth through his mind.

    Elizabeth wrinkled her nose and said, ¡°I definitely smelt a stranger¡¯s smell, but why can¡¯t I see him?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s only one possibility. The person has acquired a power, using a certain type of skill that prevents us from seeing him. Or he can touch someone from a distance and attack them.¡± Zhao Yao analyzed and answered calmly.

    On the other hand, Bai Quan let out a smile as he looked at a frowning Zhao Yao who had turned around, looking very puzzled.

    ¡°Interesting, he could actually felt it. This chap¡¯s sensitivity is rather sharp.¡± Bai Quan¡¯s gaze flickered and once again came to his back. He approached his neck lightly and let out a breath of air.

    Bai Quan¡¯s intention was to teach Zhao Yao a lesson and scare him from here. Then he would think that the little neighborhood and his own house is haunted so he would move and stay away from Xiao Shiyu.

    At the other side, Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°I cannot let the opposite party act freely anymore, the next time he attacks, I shall try to see if I can catch him.¡±

    Just as Bai Quan let out a breath of air, Zhao Yao felt the movement of wind in that moment. He immediately activated his power which could stop the time.

    As the world came to a stop, Zhao Yao turned around swiftly towards the direction where he felt the wind. He reached out and grabbed hold of it.

    Atst, he caught hold of Bai Quan¡¯s shirt near his chest.

    ¡°You¡¯ve guessed correctly.¡±

    ¡°Invisibility? Seems like a great skill¡± As Zhao Yao felt his hand grabbing onto someone, he realized instantly the power of the opponent.

    Although he did not know why the person before him also had the power, he decided that he shall take down the person before doing anything else.

    Thus in that moment when the world had halted, Zhao Yaonded a ferocious punch on the opposing party. Then came the second punch, third punch and many more.

    Six seconds had already passed as he hit on the same spot for ten times.

    As time began to tick again, Bai Quan only felt that he had just let out a breath of air on his neck but the next moment suddenly his gaze was spinning. Zhao Yao¡¯s body was even stuck together with his tightly.

    He then felt a strong piercing pain in his stomach, as if he was attacked through thin air or he was knocked down severely by a bull. He felt himself taking a few steps back before falling to the ground.

    Si!!

    Originally, Zhao Yao¡¯s power could only be considered as mediocre. Even if the power of Matcha the solo cat is added, it could only be deemed as having good health.

    However, in that moment, the explosion of ten punchesnding in the same spot continuously was as simr to that of a heavyweight boxer¡¯s single punch. Bai Quan fell directly on the ground after and he felt like his intestines were breaking.

    While Bai Quan cried out in pain, he tried to take in as much cold air as he could. However, his power to be invisible subsided and his true self was revealed.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes reflected that he was taken by surprise because the person that had just appeared before his eyes was actually Bai Quan. ¡°It is you?¡± he said.¡±

    Bai Quan was rmed and looked at Zhao Yao. ¡°Instant movement power! And also the attack you just used on me, was it Intentional Shifting power? You possess super powers?!¡±

    Zhao Yao held back his words and conversed through his mind with Elizabeth. ¡°Elizabeth, control him. But allow him to still have the ability to talk, I have things to question him of.¡±

    Elizabeth did as it was told and shone a beam of red light from in between her eyes. Bai Quan immediately felt his body turning stiff as though a shapeless form of energy is taking control of him.

    ¡°This.....What type of power is this again! Instant movement power, Intentional shifting power and also this power that is controlling my body! Are these dark powers? How can you possess so much power! ¡± Bai Quan thought to himself in shock.

    Bai Quan had never thought of it, someone that looked like an average rich second generation person could possess so many types of power at one time. It was almost like he only had in mind to kill one goblin, yet in the blink of an eye, he transformed and became a Titan giant.

    Zhao Yao heard Bai Quan eximing in surprise, but he twitched his mouth and said, ¡°From now, it will be me asking questions and you will be answering them.¡±

    Right at that moment, a sound of some car moving in the garage rang out. Zhao Yao was in his world of thoughts before he walked towards the direction of the lift.

    ¡°There is someone else here.¡± Zhao Yao also said to Elizabeth at the same time. ¡°I shall just let him follow me home.¡±

    Therefore Bai Quan became controlled and followed along. He was then brought to Zhao Yao¡¯s house on the seventeenth floor.

    Bai Quan felt his whole body losing the ability to have control. On the way to Zhao Yao¡¯s house, Bai Quan looked at him and was filled with shock, jealousy and also feeling lost. He never thought that it could be possible for anyone in the world to possess so many types of power.

    Teleportation, ability to read minds, and the ability to manipte people like puppets. Bai Quan saw Zhao Yao¡¯s back view and thought: Having the ability to teleport is powerful enough, and now he is also able to read minds and manipte others.

    In the brief moment that Zhao Yao opened the room, a pungent smell gushed in, suffocating everyone. Zhao Yao aggressively covered his nose and mouth, saying shockingly and angrily, ¡°What happened! Whost took a dump here, the smell is unbearable!¡±

    The odor was sour and Zhao Yao was certain that even after being in the feces industry for close to a year now, he had not encountered such a pungent smell.

    Matcha purred while running towards Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, it was Mango! After Mango took a dump, the automatic toilet had be roasted feces!¡¯

    Zhao Yao mmed the door shut before Matcha could reach him, leaving Matcha knocking continuously from the other side of the door, proiming, ¡°I¡¯m sorry Matcha, this smell is too pungent, it could kill and harm people.¡±

    The automatic cat toilet used electricity to shovel away the feces, flush with water, increase the temperature, then blow dry it.

    However, if it¡¯s cat diarrhea, there is no apparent way to shovel the feces away. This will result in diarrhea to be flushed with water, heated up, blow dried, forming this roasted feces phenomena.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s entire house was filled with the odor of the roasted feces. Thinking about that sour smell alone made him helpless.

    Zhao Yao turned his head towards Elizabeth and said, ¡°Elizabeth, you...¡± He just thought of letting Elizabeth control Bai Quan to clean up the mess, but realized what she had already done. Elizabeth swallowed the entire can of cat food and sprawled all over his shoulder.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Have you really fainted?¡±

    It was precisely at this moment, Bai Quan realized immediately that he regained his ability to move, although he was also affected badly by this pungent smell, he still took advantage of this opportunity. He held his breath momentarily and entered his stealth mode once again.

    Zhao Yao shouted, ¡°Hey you!¡±

    Looking at Zhao Yao shout made Bai Quan snicker. But before Bai Quan could even make a move, he felt a shapeless figure aggressively banging on his chest, causing him to directly fly three or four meters, his entire body thrown onto to the ground.

    Bai Quan¡¯s chest burned in pain. He felt as though his entire chest had exploded. Every breath he took was extremely difficult. Needless to say, he could no longer remain in stealth mode and exposed his true self.

    This time, Zhao Yao stomped on Bai Quan several times within a short moment.

    Looking at Zhao Yao walking towards him, he said in pain, ¡°What a strong ability.¡±

    Zhao Yao ignored him, ncing upon Elizabeth who was sprawled on his shoulders, and he thought about her.

    Next, he used Elizabeth¡¯s ability. Looking at Bai Quan on the floor, subtle red shes shone in his eyes. However...

    ¡°Failed... Sigh... 60 loyalty points.¡±

    He tried twice more and finally seeded. Luckily for him this time, he was ruthless enough. Bai Quan could neither get up by himself nor hold his breath, Zhao Yao¡¯s use of Elizabeth¡¯s ability was sessful.

    Bai Quan felt his body stiffen up, and it seemed as though nothing could be entering his brain. Hepletely lost control of himself. He thought to himself ¡®Not this feeling again, I can¡¯t believe he can actually control my entire body.¡¯

    Subsequently, Zhao Yao looked at Bai Quan¡¯s indignant stare and controlled him to clean the cat toilet¡¯s with the dry, hot roasted feces.

    Elizabeth also managed to wake up a few minutester. Bai Quan saw, hiding from a corner in the room from a distance, two cats, and a person, which made him more indignant.

    Mango, a British shortcat, stood curiously by the side, asionally sniffing Bai Quan¡¯s smell, as though like he truly interested in this stranger.

    He had no clue to what a big mess he had caused and was extremely pleased that the entire house was filled with his smell.

    Bai Quan felt like the odor was basically like after someone had diarrhea, added a dead rat in the toilet bowl, and then dug some of the concoction out, ced it on a bowl and in the microwave oven for 10 minutes. It felt as though all his internal organs were going to explode.

    Zhao Yao consciously sighed from the other side ¡®The automatic cat toilet isn¡¯t that powerful, it is unable to flush out diarrhea. Not only does it have difficulty removing it, it will even result in its smell spreading across the entire room.

    Elizabeth pleaded for help from Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, this public toilet is too disgusting, from today onwards, you must arrange a private one for me. And I also need my own private bedroom.¡±

    ¡°Hahaha¡± Matcha snickered in a corner, ¡°You long-haired fatty. Have you forgotten thest time you took a shit and had feces in your butt? How dare you still have the audacity to pick on and despise Mango!¡±

    Elizabeth raised her eyebrows. Being a long-furred cat indeed resulted in it being easier to stain her own body with shit, and that was what she had most hated about herself.

    Upon hearing what Matcha said, her eyes had shes of red, an image of Matcha already started to imprint itself on her mind.

    She screamed, ¡°ve, watch your tone! Also, keep some distance away from me. Your entire body stinks of shit!¡±

    Matcha defended himself, ¡°At least I didn¡¯t run out of the toilet with a shit-stained butt!¡±

    ¡°Alright, stop fighting, you two!¡± Zhao Yao proimed.

    Half an hourter, the mess was cleaned up, the windows in the entire room were opened and the entire room was ventted.

    Bai Quan was controlled and brought to the window, Zhao Yao hid a few meters away, covered his nose and said in a disparaging tone, ¡°Spit it out! Where did you get your abilities, and what are your intentions for attacking me!¡±

    Though Bai Quan¡¯s body was stained with cat feces, he seemed as though he was already used to this kind of treatment. His looked sternly at Zhao Yao and replied, ¡°My abilities were bestowed upon me by our God from the Brotherhood.¡±

    Zhao Yao wrinkled his eyebrows ¡®Brotherhood?¡¯ He was shocked and second-guessed, ¡°Gao Ji has supernatural abilities?¡±

    ¡°Who said it was Gao Ji?¡± Bai Quan rebutted, ¡°We are an organization. We worship and pray to the holy spirit!¡±

    Zhao Yao, Matcha and Elizabeth¡¯s were appalled and were speechless.

    They then realized that Bai Quan¡¯s powers did note from himself, but from an organization called the Brotherhood.¡¯

    This Brotherhood was seen by Bai Quan as an evil and malicious organization, a cult, which had gathered arge number of unemployed people together. They prayed and interacted daily, hoping that their God will bestow upon happiness onto each of them.

    However, the difference between the Brotherhood and an ordinary cult was that there had been urrences of people from this organization actually being rewarded. For instance, Bai Quan has been given privileged to receive the ability to enter stealth mode for 3 hours exactly.

    At this very moment, the book¡¯s task page jumped slightly, and a new mission appeared.

    The task presented ¡ª How to cause chaos within the malicious and evil cats with abilities?¡¯ The intended target ¨C Exterminate the Brotherhood, capture the supercat with the abilities behind the scenes and a reward of 200 experience points will be given.

    Upon looking at the task on the board, Zhao Yao wrinkled his eyebrows and thought ¡®Is it really that simple to gain 200 experience points? Are my experience points too high, or is it because this task is actually very difficult?¡¯

 Chapter 34: The Brotherhood

    <h4>Chapter 34: The Brotherhood</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Even though it was just 200 experience points, Zhao Yao refused to give it up. Moreover, with Matcha¡¯s ability to stop time and Elizabeth¡¯s mind control powers, Zhao Yao had confidence that he would be able to protect them from any harm.

    Zhao Yao looked at Bai Quan and asked, ¡°Do you know where the Brotherhood is?¡±

    ¡°What are you nning?¡± Bai Quan replied with a puzzled expression on his face.

    ¡°I find the Brotherhood rather interesting. Do you think they would ept me?¡±

    Bai Quan squinted his eyes and looked suspiciously at Zhao Yao, ¡°You want to join them???¡±

    Zhao Yao stated confidently, ¡°Of course. If they are able to give me superhuman abilities, I don¡¯t see why I shouldn¡¯t join them.¡± Bai Quan couldn¡¯t decipher his true intentions but Zhao Yao¡¯s abilities far surpassed his own and he definitely wasn¡¯t someone he would want to fight against. However, it was a good thing that Zhao Yao was interested in joining the brotherhood.

    If Zhao Yao became aggressive towards them, the divine beings and he himself would be his opponents. But if he really did wish to join them, the Brotherhood will benefit greatly.

    Upon reaching this conclusion, Bai Quan nodded his head in agreement to lead him to the brotherhood.

    ¡°If you truly wish to join the brotherhood, this is naturally an extremely good thing. Powerful individuals like you are not destined to be ordinary. When you join us, you will find that your power will progress much more.

    In this world, the weak are destined to be trampled upon by the strong.¡±

    Zhao Yao just looked at Bai Quan and smiled without saying a word.

    He then looked for some armor that would protect him sharp objects and equipped himself with two folding knives and a bundle of rope.

    ¡°Oh yes wait, I still need to find a mask to wear least the same thing happens again and someone photographs my face¡±

    Zhao Yao then finds a mask and stuffs it into his pocket. He looks at Matcha and Elizabeth, thinking whether to bring both cats along with him.

    ¡°I don¡¯t even know what kind of supercats the brotherhood has and they are even able to bestow regr people with superhuman powers. I think I should just bring both of them along.¡±

    As he thought, he began searching for his cat bag which he had used long ago in order to carry his cats.

    The cat bag which he was using was a yellow hard-shelled cat bag, which was simr to a school backpack. It could be carried on the back, and it also had a special stic cover, which acted like a transparent cover allowing the cats inside to see what was happening on the outside.

    ¡°Elizabeth, follow me.¡±

    Seeing Elizabeth being taken out, Matchaughed happily and said, ¡°Bye guys, I still have the qualifying matches to fight...¡±

    However, before Matcha even finished his sentence, Zhao Yao caught Matcha in a single swift swoop and forced it into the cat bag.

    Both cats had abined weight of more than 10 kilograms and as Zhao Yao put the backpack on, he felt his entire body almost sink into the ground. ¡°These two rascals are way too heavy, I guess recently they have been eating too much. From tomorrow onwards, I will feed them less. Else I will be too tired every time I carry them.¡± Thought Zhao Yao to himself.

    ....

    At an old residential building in the suburbs of Jiangmen City, Bai Quan pointed up towards the building and exined ¡°This is where the Brotherhood resides, we have rented several floors here.

    About 40 to 50 people live here and we gather to pray every day. The divine beings live on the highest floors of the building.¡±

    After saying that he looked over at Zhao Yao, who was carrying his cat bag, pulled his mouth and asked him ¡°why did you want to bring cats?¡±

    From this, Zhao Yao confirmed that Bai Quan knew nothing about cats having super abilities and deduced that he had always thought that superpowers came from humans. However, Zhao Yao kept this fact to himself and did not exin it to Bai Quan.

    Zhao Yao examined the ce and based on the appearance of the run-down building, he thought to himself ¡°This ce is so remote and the buildings aren¡¯t very well maintained. It seems to me that the powers that the people gained from the brotherhood wouldn¡¯t amount to much.¡±

    As Zhao Yao followed Bai Quan, he came into the living room of one of the apartments and saw 40 to 50 men and women kneeling on the floor and praying to a middle-aged man in the middle.

    The middle-aged man was frail with a thin built and his skin was pale almost white.

    His eyes were closed, head tilted towards the sky as his mouth muttered words as though he was receiving a message from the heavens.

    Upon seeing this, Bai Quan said, ¡°God is starting the prayer. Quickly knee down and receive his blessings!¡±

    When he said that he was already almost kneeling on the ground and pulled Zhao Yao down to pray, but Zhao Yao instead sat down and begun to observe the scene in front of him.

    ¡°What do you feel? There doesn¡¯t seem to have any smell of cats.¡±

    Inside the cat bag, Matcha and Elizabeth put their heads together, looked around and said, ¡°There are too many people, it is difficult to say for sure.¡±

    At that moment, the man in the center flickers and shouts ¡°God, thank you! Praise you!¡±

    Immediately after, everyone saw a string of beads appear above his head.

    The sudden appearance of the string of beads seemed as though it was from the heavens, dropping into the hand of the divine individual. He lifted it up and shouted, ¡°Look this is God¡¯s gift, to lead us through the fog towards the beacon of heaven.¡±

    Everyone around became fanatic with their eyes gleaming with excitement as they stared intently at the string of beads in the hands of the man in the middle.

    Zhao Yao squinted his eyes, with the blessing of the cat, his vision was enhanced which enabled him to look closely at the beads the moment they appeared and found that the beads moved upwards when they appeared.

    ¡°If the beads really came from God, why would it move upwards when it first appeared? It should have been a vertical fall. Unless, it was thrown up by that man... Unless it was an increased stealth ability?¡±

    It seemed like this ability can not only be used on one¡¯s self but also on objects?

    It was even more powerfulpared to Bai Yuan¡¯s stealth ability and there didn¡¯t seem to be any side effects.¡±

    To Zhao Yao¡¯s knowledge, Bai Quan wasn¡¯t able to do it.

    ¡°Could it really be that person¡¯s ability?¡± Zhao Yao turned his head looking for the presence of any supercats.

    Just then, the prophet turned his head and looked directly towards Zhao Yao, ¡°In addition to God¡¯s gift, today we also usher in a new brother? Are you our brother?¡±

    Seeing as the prophet was looking at him, all the others began to turn and look in the same direction. Zhao Yao was surprised ¡°I see, he had already noticed me¡±

    This was unavoidable as his appearance stood out from the crowd. Furthermore, it was hard not to attract attention carrying a yellow cat bag.

    The prophet began to walk towards Zhao Yao and as he did, the crowd parted like the tides of the sea.

    Zhao Yao squinted his eyes and realized that the prophet seemed to have pulled up something from his waist and as he made his way towards Zhao Yao, he saw traces of something which followed.

    Using his observations and the movements of the prophet, Zhao Yao immediately responded thinking ¡°is it a knife? Or a sword? What is he holding in his hand? It¡¯s invisible!¡±

    All around, the followers of the Brotherhood began to exim, ¡°Holy mark! It¡¯s the holy mark!¡±

 Chapter 35: The Devil

    <h4>Chapter 35: The Devil</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    ¡°It¡¯s the holy Mark!¡±

    ¡°God hase before us!¡±

    All around, the fervent followers started chanting in unison.

    Levelling his shapeless sword directly at Zhao Yao¡¯s head, the holy priestmanded, ¡°Are you willing to ept the grace of God and join us as brothers?¡±

    Gazing upon a seemingly awestruck Zhao Yao, the holy priest was confident in his ability to convert him.

    After all, he had already converted countless acolytes using simr methods and had gained loyal followers for the following months with this awesome disy of power.

    Furthermore, once he carves out the holy mark on Zhao Yao¡¯s face using the invisible sword in his hand, it would represent a symbolic and marvelous mark bestowed by the God and certainly cement Zhao Yao¡¯s loyalty for him.

    However, just as the holy priest was lost in thought, Zhao Yao stood up fiercely in defiance, putting on a mask that was seemingly in his pocket just moments ago.

    ¡°Speaking of such mystic arts, the most fitting power is actually...¡±

    ¡°Meow!¡± Elizabeth let loose a cry which sounded out within the hall and overwhelmed all the acolytes in the vicinity.

    The next moment, an inferno emerged from behind Zhao Yao, morphing into a pair of fiery wings over 6 meters long. It was as if the fire had been summoned from the pits of hell, burning brilliantly before the eyes of the acolytes.

    With this summoning, all hell broke loose and the acolytes broke rank, screaming and shouting while retreating to any possible corner of the hall.

    The holy priest himself was dumbfounded, looking on in confusion as Zhao Yao approached them with the fiery wings nking him.

    As the acolytes fled, fiery skeletons began to morph out of the fiery pit behind Zhao Yao as if the gates of hell have just opened.

    ¡°Such audacity!¡± Zhao Yao bellowed.

    ¡°Who is to be sacrificed to the Holy One?!¡±

    All around, the acolytes were wailing as they fled in fear, cursing themselves for getting themselves into this mess in the first ce.

    Some of the female acolytes copsed on the ground in fear, so terrified that they were unable to move a single limb.

    Bai Quan stared astonishingly at Zhao Yao¡¯s demonic appearance with his jaw dropped and his mind in aplete mess.

    ¡°Devil? Is he the Devil?¡± Bai Quan¡¯s heart was gripped with fear. ¡°Definitely, with powers like teleportation, mind-reading, and puppetry, who else could he be but the Devil?¡±

    By now the holy priest had turned as white as a sheet and the invisible sword he once wielded in his hand had bepletely visible. With the wooden ssical sword trembling in his hand, the priest stumbled away from Zhao Yao, ¡°Stay... Stay Away! You evil demon, God will strike you down!¡±

    ¡°Oh God can¡¯t kill me...¡± Zhao Yao began as he instantly teleported behind the holy priest, crushing his windpipe with one hand.

    ¡°AHHH!¡± Watching the fiery skeletons march on towards him from all sides while having the life choked out of him, the holy priest tried to turn invisible in hopes of escaping from this death grip.

    Nevertheless, it was already toote as Zhao Yaonded a solid punch to the priest¡¯s stomach, knocking the wind out of the priest just as he turned invisible. With the priest winded, Zhao Yao quickly tied the priest up with his rope.

    Amongst the fleeing acolytes remained the fanatics who at this point decided to charge towards Zhao Yao in a bid to take him down.

    However, before they could even approach Zhao Yao, they all copsed screaming, as if being knocked out by an invisible force.

    Zhao Yao resembled a blur as he dealt out blow after blow, taking out the charging acolytes one by one.

    Meanwhile, within the cat pouch, Elizabeth continued to observe the phone screen as she continued to keep up the illusion that was taking ce in the hall.

    The scene on the screen depicted exactly a fiery-winged Devil releasing hordes of fiery skeletons.

    As it appears, this had been pre-arranged between Elizabeth and Zhao Yao, as the n was for Elizabeth to set up the entire illusion with the fiery Devil in order to expose this fraudulent cult.

    Despite possessing the ability to freeze time, it would still be troublesome to take on so many enemies at once. Furthermore, Zhao Yao was unwilling to utilize weapons that may jeopardize the lives of others.

    As a result, he utilized Elizabeth¡¯s illusions to frighten the acolytes, causing them to flee in fear.

    However, her powers were limited. Her illusions could only disrupt the hearing and vision of her targets but were harmless and unable to inflict tangible sensations such as pain, hotness, and coldness. Nheless, they worked out magically in this situation, greatly magnifying the acolytes¡¯ fear of the Devil.

    In a corner far from themotion, a face filled with dullness spectated the ongoing drama. ¡°Such a disappointing illusion.¡± Matcha noted. Snatching the phone away from Elizabeth, he remarked, ¡°Let me find a better one.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t touch it!¡± Elizabeth eximed.

    It was toote, as Matcha had begun fiddling with the phone the second Zhao Yao froze the time around them.

    When Elizabeth finally grabbed her phone back from Matcha, the picture of the Devil has already disappeared. In its ce, arge yellow face materialized, its eyes staring out wretchedly.

    ¡°What¡¯s this? Where did the picture go?¡± Elizabeth questioned.

    Matcha replied excitedly, ¡°Oh, that¡¯s called aical emoticon. What is so interesting about Devils? Transform this instead, it¡¯s definitely going to be much better!¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Elizabeth asked with a tinge of doubt.

    ¡°Of course!. I¡¯m a man of my word!¡±

    Evidently, Elizabeth was far from knowledgeable when ites to areas like phones and the inte. Despite having her suspicions regarding what Matcha said, she continued conjuring the illusion withical emoticons.

    ¡°Meow¡±, a voice sounded through the hall. In an instance, the mass of skeletons vanished into thin air. Shortly afterward, flying emoticons roamed the air in all directions, and even Zhao Yao¡¯s head became a huge emoticon! It was a bizarre and unbelievable sight.

    Matcha lifted his head high up, shouting:¡± Hey, hurry up yeah! Give me a 3D effect too!¡±

    Observing the sight of emoticons soaring through the air, Matcha could not help but unleash a mischievousughter.

    As soon as Zhao Yao finished off the remaining attackers, he noticed Matcha¡¯sughter. He frowned, and asked:¡± What happened?¡± He had deliberately instructed Elizabeth not to conjure and illusions on him so as to avoid any hindrances in his battle.

    Matcha ignored Zhao Yao¡¯s question and continuedughing. Soon after, Zhao Yao realized something was amiss. Even though the acolytes were still fleeing, their fear had slowly resided, and puzzled faces appeared in ce.

    ¡°Emoticons?¡± ¡°Who uses emoticons in hell?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s nothing special about this Devil.¡±

    ¡°Get lost!¡± Zhao Yao lifted his eyebrows, and with a flicker, he appeared in front of everyone.

    Watching the fiery-winged emoticon speeding towards them, the remaining acolytes screamed as they fled from the hall. What was left was the tied-up holy priest and a dazzled Bai Quan.

    Fear and shock filled the eyes of the holy priest. Bai Quan, on the other hand, continued staring at Zhao Yao in confusion. From his eyes, a mix of emotions began stirring. Fear, amazement, and a hint of admiration gradually surfaced...

    ¡°So those emoticons are actually the Devil¡¯s expressions? ¡±

    After he had taken care of all the acolytes, Zhao Yao made Elizabeth retract her power. He walked to the holy priest and asked:¡± Alright, tell me. Your ability to turn invisible...¡±. Suddenly, he stopped. Zhao Yao spotted lumps of cat fur on the holy priest¡¯s pants. He raised his eyebrows and asked, ¡°Do you own a cat?¡±

    ¡°Did you adopt a cat?¡±

    The devil¡¯s words left ¡®Angel¡¯ surprised and shocked. He could not understand Zhao Yao¡¯s interest in a cat.

    Zhao Yao continued staring at ¡®Angel¡¯ and asked again, ¡°Did you adopt a cat? Bring me to the cat which you adopted.¡±

    ¡°Al..... Alright, I understand,¡± ¡®Angel¡¯ repeatedly nodded his head and rified, ¡°I have never believed in the existence of heaven, I have always been a staunch believer in hell. Even when I¡¯m ying games, I will always choose to be on the devil¡¯s side.¡±

    ¡°Fine,¡± Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and repeated, ¡°Just bring me to your cat.¡±

    Zhao Yao followed the ¡®Angel¡¯ into another room. As they were walking towards it, Zhao Yao could already hear nkinging from the ce.

    Inside it, Zhao Yao was greeted by a mass of ck and white meat on the sofa.

    It was a cat which was predominantly covered in ck fur. Its mouth, chest and belly region were coated in silky white fur. This cat wasmonly known as the snow behind the dark clouds.

    However, Zhao Yao was more shocked by this cat¡¯s massive frame. It was a moving meatball.

    Compared to its belly, its four limbs seemed so short and small. Zhao Yao wondered if it was even capable of rolling over.

    The cat was surrounded by bags of potato chips, biscuits and an assortment of tidbits.

    Zhao Yao realized that the nking might have been from the cat munching on these tidbits.

    The cat was visibly shocked when it saw Zhao Yao, and the ¡®Angel¡¯ entered his room. When it noticed ¡®Angel¡¯s¡¯ hands tied behind his back, the cat immediately tried to stand while simultaneously turning invisible.

    The cat managed to turn itself, the sofa and even the floor invisible. Looking around, Zhao Yao saw that everything was turning invisible; it was as if these things just vanished into thin air.

    ¡°Hmm, where is it,¡± Zhao Yao muttered. Zhao Yao¡¯s ears twitched as he was trying to locate the cat.

    However, no matter how hard he strained his ears, he could not hear the cat¡¯s footstep.

    ¡°How can it move so quickly?¡± Zhao Yao instantly turned around to shut the door, sealing the only exit out of the room.

    He thought, ¡°How can a cat be so fat yet agile in its movements.¡±

    However, Zhao Yao was not worried about the cat escaping since he had already sealed the only exit out of this room.

    At the same time, the reach of its power was increasing as more things turned invisible. It was like an invisible dye that stained everything it touched.

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao and the ¡®Angel¡¯ felt a tingling sensationing from the sole of their feet, towards the rest of the body. Their body also started to turn invisible.

    ¡°How is this happening?¡± The ¡®Angel¡¯ was horrified and mumbled, ¡°Did Roly Poly receive the gift of God?¡±

    On the other hand, Zhao Yao started to frown as he saw the scene unfold before him, ¡°This power of invisibility is way more troublesome than I thought. Its reach is unimaginably big. Roly Poly¡¯s power is significantly stronger than the ¡®Angel¡¯ and Baiquan.¡±

    Zhao Yao was afraid he would not even know where he was if more things turned invisible. Worse still, if the entire building became invisible, he might not even be able to leave the building. He would be as good as blind.

    If a fire started and he identally touched an electrical wire, he would not even be able to save himself.

    Zhao Yao realized the potential of the power of invisibility and the danger that it could bring about.

    While Zhao Yao was pondering over how to escape from this power¡¯s influence, everything suddenly reappeared, and the power of invisibility had been lifted.

    Roly Poly remained on the sofa. He was still trying to catch his breath while he mumbled, ¡°No, no, I¡¯m too tired.¡± Roly Poly frantically waved his fat paws in Zhao Yao¡¯s direction. Roly Poly eximed, ¡°Faster! Someone flip me over! I cannot move!¡±

    ¡°No wonder there was no sound...¡± Zhao Yao rolled his eyes, walked towards the sofa and sneered, ¡°Are you so fat that you cannot even turn on your own?¡±

    ¡°Huh? You can understand me?¡± Roly Poly asked with a face of astonishment.

    The ¡®Angel¡¯ tried to rify and shouted, ¡°Devil, Roly Poly is just an ordinary cat, I have no idea how it managed to possess such power, please do not hurt it.¡±

    ¡°This cat, it is actually pretty cute,¡± Elizabeth said with a curl of her lips.

    Zhao Yao saw the tidbits on the sofa and remarked, ¡°You are spoiling it by feeding him so many tidbits.¡±

    ¡°Do not worry; I am not going to hurt your cat. However, I have taken a liking to him, and I¡¯m going to bring him back.¡±

    The ¡®Angel¡¯ hesitated when he heard these words. He stammered,¡± Bu.....But Roly Poly is my only friend. It is mypanion. Can you ...?¡±

    ¡°Get lost, if not I¡¯ll kill you.¡±

    Rings of me started appearing around Zhao Yao, and the dominant voice erupted in ¡®Angel¡¯s¡¯ ears.

    The ¡®Angel¡¯ was terrified, and he stumbled towards the door as he tried to escape.

    After warning the ¡®Angel¡¯, Zhao Yao turned towards Roly Poly and asked,¡± Are you responsible for everything that has happened under this roof? Roly Poly?¡±

    It seemed like Roly Poly was breaking into a cold sweat. He looked at Zhao Yao awkwardly and meowed a few times, trying to imitate an ordinary cat.

    ¡°It is a little toote to start pretending like you are an ordinary cat,¡± Zhao Yao pped Roly Poly at the back of his head.

    At this moment, Matcha and Elizabeth squeezed both their heads out of the cat bag.

    ¡°Is that a supercat?¡± Matcha asked curiously, ¡°But he looks so ugly.¡±

    Elizabeth evaluated, ¡°But his power of invisibility wille in pretty handy.¡±

    After seeing Elizabeth and Matcha, Roly Poly finally rxed, ¡°Oh, so you are my allies.¡±

    ¡°Who wants to be your ally?¡± Match uttered as he pped Roly Poly on his face, ¡°How did you manage to create this thing?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t hit me! Don¡¯t hit me!¡± Roly Poly screamed in despair, ¡°I will tell you everything! Everything!¡±

    Zhao Yao finally understood the situation after listening to Roly Poly¡¯s exnation.

    Roly Poly¡®s owner, ¡®Angel¡¯, was a middle-aged man who did not have a family and struggled financially.

    After his divorce, he became fixated on this religion. He pinned all his hopes on the god that he believed in.

    Two months ago, Roly Poly awakened his superpower. After receiving this power, Roly Poly wanted to repay his owner¡¯s kindness for taking care of him, and he also wanted to live afortable life. Roly Poly started to use his power on the sly to help ¡®Angel¡¯, and established the Brotherhood.

    ¡°But how can the rest of the people use the power of invisibility. When they were using it, were you around?¡± Zhao Yao questioned Roly Poly.

    ¡°Huh, you didn¡¯t know?¡± Roly Poly was surprised by Zhao Yao¡¯s question and said, ¡°We, supercats, can momentarily transfer our powers to humans. Haven¡¯t you guys tried it?!¡±

    All this while, Roly Poly thought that Zhao Yao had borrowed the supercat¡¯s power to defeat ¡®Angel¡¯ and reached this stage.

    Zhao Yao nced at Matcha and Elizabeth before he stared at Roly Poly and said, ¡°Exin everything to me in detail.¡±

    Circle of Friends

    After a detailed exnation by Roly Poly, Zhao Yao and his supercats finally understood what it meant to borrow a superpower.

    Simply said, other than using the superpowers for themselves, supercats could also lend them to humans.

    Based on information that Roly Poly had gathered, humans were the only ones capable of receiving these superpowers. However, supercats still retained their abilities even after lending them away.

    However, not every human was capable of borrowing this power.

    Firstly, only a small proportion of the human poption could sessfully borrow a superpower. The sess rate was dependent on the individual¡¯s health, strength and mental state.

    Even if they managed to borrow the superpower, the powers that the humans wielded would be weaker than the cats¡¯ innate abilities.

    Finally, the humans must have absolute faith in their supercats when they were borrowing their superpowers. Humans must not resist the transfer of power throughout the process. Both the supercats and humans must be in physical contact for the human to sessfully acquire the power.

    Roly Poly continued, ¡°Currently, the longest time that a human can borrow the superpower is one day. Once the time expires, the superpowers will disappear from the humans¡¯ bodies, while the supercats¡¯ powers increase by a little. Supercats can take back their power anytime.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Zhao Yao replied, ¡°So after taking back their powers from humans, the cats¡¯ superpowers will increase in strength? That means if you lend it too many people ...¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s impossible,¡± Roly Poly interrupted, ¡°Till today, I have met thousands of people in the brotherhood. However, only my master and Baiquan are capable of receiving my power. The number of humans who can receive superpowers is minuscule, and the increase in strength of our superpowers after lending them is insignificant.¡±

    ¡°Is that so? How many superpowers can a human borrow?¡±

    ¡°I think it¡¯s 1? Based on the people I know, their bodies will not be able to take it if they receive more than one superpower.¡±

    Zhao Yao scratched his chin and started topare that to the ability of his BOOK. Currently, his BOOK seemed far superior to a supercat lending its superpower to a human.

    Compared to a typical human borrowing a superpower, his BOOK was more like a Pokeball. After catching supercats using his ¡°Pokeball¡±, he could choose and swap between the different superpowers, unlike an ordinary human who could only use up to 1 superpower.

    However, Zhao Yao was still curious and wanted to know whether Matcha could lend his superpower to others. He tried to experiment with it for the next few months, but he realized that it was impossive. When a cat was registered in his BOOK, and its loyalty reached 100 points, the cat would not be able to lend their superpower.

    ¡°One more thing, how do you know so much about this?¡± Zhao Yao asked while fixing his eyes on Roly Poly.

    ¡°I...I heard from others,¡± Roly Poly replied with his puss in boots eyes and innocent look, ¡°I know of many supercats.¡±

    As he was speaking, Roly Poly grabbed a phone from underneath his butt.

    ¡°You see, this is our supercat chat group...¡±

    Zhao Yao snatched the phone from his paws and saw the list of members in the group. At that moment, a message came in.

    Leopard Head asked, ¡°Who knows how to earn some quick bucks using teleportation other than doing deliveries?¡±

    ¡°So Leopard Head wants to earn some money,¡± someone with the ID of ¡®No1. Dried Fish Fan¡¯ replied, ¡°You will have no future if you continue doing deliveries. If you can teleport, you can do trafficking from Yunnan, China to Golden Triangle, or even Columbia.¡±

    Leopard Head replied, ¡°What the f*ck! Are you trying to get me killed and turn me into food?¡±

    ¡°Why resort to trafficking?¡± Another supercat with the ID of ¡®Chubby Luban Assassin¡¯ replied, ¡°Just go straight to a gold vault. Take as much as you want and leave. I stole tens of millions RMB thest time, and I still have so much money left.¡±

    Leopard Head replied, ¡°F*ck you! You were still borrowing money to buy frozen meat yesterday; you do not have tens of millions RMB.¡±

    Chubby Luban Assassin replied, ¡°R*tard, I do not have any ID, and so I cannot open an e-banking ount. How am I supposed to do online shopping without an e-banking ount? I can only borrow money from you guys.¡±

    Leopard Head replied, ¡°How about the shovel for your feces? Don¡¯t tell me you secretly use your owner¡¯s e-banking ount?¡±

    ¡°No, my owner has started to suspect me since the time I used her ount to buy some ca mint. She even installed a CCTV camera outside my room.¡± Chubby Luban Assassin continued, ¡°Now, I need to use my neighbor¡¯sputer to surf the.¡±

    Seeing the conversation between them and the IDs of all the members, Zhao Yao contemted and said, ¡°Are all the members of this group chat supercats? So you guys depend on WeChat tomunicate?¡± Zhao Yao still could not believe how up-to-date these supercats were with technology.

    ¡°Not exactly,¡± Roly Poly blinked and replied, ¡°Some supercat owners are in the group too.¡±

    However, it was quite challenging to differentiate between cats or humans since it was just a WeChat group. Everyone was very rxed, and they were somewhat unwilling to expose their identities on the group.

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°So how much do you know about the supercats situation in Jiangmen city?¡±

    ¡°Only God will know,¡± Roly Poly replied, ¡°Stray cats, domestic cats, supercats, some of them havemunicated with humans while others have fled far away. Some enjoy living alongside humans and try to integrate into their environment. Some are just lurking in the shadows, thinking about how to enjoy their lives.

    Who knows what these cats will do.

    All these supercats have just awakened their powers, and they were still in the process of understanding it.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head as he could not believe the amount of information he had gathered from a supercat of the brotherhood.

    Zhao Yao returned the phone to Roly Poly and said, ¡°Can you add me to your WeChat group?¡±

    ¡°Alright,¡± Roly Poly agreed obediently.

    Matcha joined in and said, ¡°Add me to the group too.¡±

    Elizabeth spoke to Zhao Yao via telepathy, ¡°Zhao Yao, I also want a phone. I want to be like Matcha. I want to be able to surf the and join this WeChat group.¡±

    Roly Poly said, ¡°What¡¯s your ID? I¡¯ll add you in.¡±

    Match replied proudly, ¡°The Strongest Luban.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded as he observed both Roly Poly and Matcha add each other on WeChat with their nimble paws. Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Hopefully Elizabeth wouldn¡¯t be a phone addict after getting her phone.¡±

    Zhao Yao grabbed Roly Poly and left, but he saw Baiquan standing in the lobby. Zhao Yao immediately asked, ¡°You¡¯re still here?¡±

    Baiquan seemed a little timid and afraid. However, he stared at Zhao Yao with a look of excitement and said, ¡°D...Devil, can I be your follower?¡±

    ¡°Huh? Follow me?¡± Zhao Yao was left dumbfounded and continued, ¡°What do you want?¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it natural for people to follow powerful leaders? ¡± Baiquan said as he looked at Zhao Yao. shes of Zhao Yao¡¯s abilities such as teleportation shed across his mind. Baiquan could vividly recall Zhao Yao¡¯s ming wings, ming skulls, psychokinesis attacks, human puppet skills and even the troll face.

    ¡°I want to follow you; I want to be part of hell...¡±

    Baiquan had given serious consideration to it. Given his current skills and background, he would only be able to live a regr life even if he worked hard his entire life. After experiencing life with a superpower, he understood what it meant to follow Zhao Yao.

    Before Baiquanpleted his offer, Zhao Yao had already left and said, ¡°I¡¯m not interested. You are already a grown up. Can you do something that benefits the society and stop thinking about stupid things? As for me, I just want some money to buy a car and a house...¡±

    ¡°But why...,¡± Baiquan could not help but stopped Zhao Yao in his tracks and said, ¡°With your power, you can achieve greatness in this world without much effort. Any power from your repertoire is enough to create a shockwave in the world.

    Furthermore, you have all these powersbined, and it is not unimaginable for you to conquer the entire world with them.¡±

    Seeing Baiquan¡¯s excited look left Zhao Yao in a dilemma, ¡°How old are you?¡±

    ¡°Me?¡± Baiquan froze temporarily and replied, ¡°I¡¯m eighteen this year.¡±

    ¡°Oh?!¡± Zhao Yao replied with a look of disbelief, ¡°Eighteen? I would not suspect you even if you say you are thirty.¡±

    Baiquan was slightly embarrassed as he took his ID from his pocket, ¡°I look a little mature for my age, but I just turned eighteen this year.¡±

    After examining Baiquan¡¯s ID, Zhao Yao realized that he was telling the truth and said, ¡°Why are you working at this age? Go back and study.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t like to study!¡± Bai Quan looked at Zhao Yao intently and said, ¡°Compared to studying, isn¡¯t possessing abilities much more useful?¡± ¡°Even if I studied diligently and worked hard for the rest of my life, it still wouldn¡¯t beat the effort of someone who has superpowers!¡±

    After hearing what Bai Quan had to say, Zhao Yao, who had won tens of millions from casinos came to the realization that he literally had no rebuttal against his friend¡¯s point.

    In actual fact, if Bai Quan really managed to borrow the abilities of Roly Poly, he would have achieved so much more than what he would achieve from just studying hard.

    Bai Quan took a bow and said, ¡± Mr. Demon...¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t call me a Demon!¡± Zhao Yao eximed.

    Bai Quan then said, ¡°Mr. Zhao, please take me as your disciple, let me be your pawn on this earth and together we shall spread the boundaries of hell across the whole universe.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and started heading towards the door,zy to even entertain what the twenty-year-old had to say.

    Bai Quan gritted his teeth, nced at the silhouette of the leaving Zhao Yao before sprinting towards him to catch up. This was when Bai Quan realized that it was actually not as hard to talk to Zhao Yao as he had imagined.

    ¡°Mr. Zhao, do you need me to re-gather the faith of our believers?¡± They so weak and superstitious, by using your name to gather them, they will surely be willing to change their beliefs and follow you instead. With their money and hard work, we would be able to be build up our empire in this world very quickly.¡±

    ¡°Shut your trap!¡± Zhao Yao spun around and red at Bai Quan, ¡°Let me tell you, from this day on, do not ever host such superstitious activities anymore. Do you understand me!¡±

    ¡°But... Why??¡± Bai Quan could not understand.

    Zhao Yao thought for a moment, ¡± Ever since Marcus went down to Earth, Hell has be a ce for those who believe in proletarianism.¡±

    Across the road, in between the house of the brothers and a small car, both a young man and a middle-aged man gazed intently towards the direction of the master bedroom as if they were carrying out some form of surveince.

    The young man then said, ¡°Master, what are we still waiting for? Why can¡¯t we arrest them yet?¡±

    The middle-aged man took a puff of his cigarette, ¡°We are here to collect evidence!¡± he continued, ¡°the decision to arrest them or not is all up to our superiors and it should be the least of your concern.¡±

    ¡°But this is purely multi-leveled marketing. I still saw college students being cheated into it yesterday, how can we just let this happen and not take action?¡± The young man protested.

    Before the middle-aged man had the chance to speak, a dozen men and women burst out of the room. Secondster, even more people poured out from the entrance of the room screaming as they did.

    ¡°What is going on?¡±

    Before the two men could react, people had already dispersed in all directions in a panic-stricken manner, as if they were victims of the disaster.

    Lin Chen rushed out immediately, stopped a man and asked, ¡°What happened? Why did you all run out?¡±

    ¡°Demon! There is aical demon!¡± The man shouted and escaped which left the young man very confused.

    ¡°Master, what should we do?¡±

    The Middle-aged man said, ¡°Let me report to our superiors first, don¡¯t do anything rash.¡±

    Watching the middle-aged man on the phone, the young man looked on helplessly, watching the crowd gradually disperse; his master had also finally finished his call.

    The young man asked, ¡°So, what should we do?¡±

    His master frowned and replied, ¡°Let us just wait and observe for any further abnormalities.¡±

    ¡°What are our superiors thinking?¡± The young man said angrily, ¡°Are they just going to let those scums get away?¡±

    ¡°You do not act on impulse; they must have their rationale for doing so.¡± Having said that, the middle-aged man did not understand why they were told to stay put too.

    At this moment, the young man looked at the door of the master bedroom. A man carrying arge bag, wearing a mask came out with arge fat cat.

    Both parties were just so suspicious the young man could not hold back any longer and rushed towards them.

    The middle-aged man saw this and immediately tried to grab him.

    ¡°Stop, Lin Chen, what are you doing!¡±

    However, with a quick adjustment, Lin Chen managed to dodge the grasp of the middle-aged man.

    ¡°Hold it right there!¡± Lin Chen pointed at Zhao Yao. Lin Chen sprinted towards Zhao Yao and in the blink of an eye, Lin Chen had already grabbed on to Zhao Yao¡¯s cor ready to subdue him.

    Lin Chen had absolutely no mercy toward people who use multi-level marketing tactics and nothing held him back from hurting them.

    Seeing Lin Chen behaving so rashly, the middle-aged guy¡¯s heart sunk and thought to himself ¡°here we go again, this brat is uncontroble¡±

    The middle-aged man could not help but shut his eyes and silently prayed, ¡°Do hurt anybody, do hurt anybody!¡±

    Upon seeing a quickly approaching Lin Chen, Zhao Yao frowned.

    Charging forward, the wind blew strongly in his face. A strong bout of manliness lingered in the air and every sensory organ in his body told him that the opponent in front of him was going to be of incredible strength. His opponent sent mini tremors through the ground as he stomped his feet angrily on the ground, bracing for the imminent attack.

    Zhaoyao wondered, ¡°Isn¡¯t he another member of the brotherhood?¡± Looking at the way Lin Chen approached, Zhao Yao was not nning to hold back either.

    The next moment, apanied by a loud bang, Lin Chen flew a few meters back and crashed hard onto the ground even before he could strike.

    Lin wanted to get up but felt a sharp pain in his chest. Even after taking a deep breath of cold air, Lin Chen was still unable to get up.

    The middle-aged man immediately rushed to help Lin up before asking if he was alright.

    Lin Chen then quickly replied, ¡°where is that little brat¡±

    The middle-aged man looked up to try and locate ZhaoYao but there was not even a trace of him in sight. Stunned by what had just happened, he then asked, ¡°Who on earth was that guy? How did he even beat a champ like you?¡±

    Barely able to speak, Lin Chen muttered to himself, ¡°his movements were way too fast. I was careless this time, wait till we meet again the next time, I¡¯m going to...¡±

    Before he couldplete his sentence, Lin Chen had already passed out, having his breath beat out of him by Zhao Yao¡¯s single blow.

    A few hourster, Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes. Looking up at the pure white ceiling, he slowly straightened his body only to feel a sharp pain in his chest.

    ¡°I remember that...¡±

    ¡°Are you awake?¡±

    Lin Chen looked up, a bald middle-aged man was sitting at the front of his bed, watching him with interest.

    ¡°You are lucky to survive the attack of that monster,¡± said the Bald Middle Aged man, ¡°So, do you still remember the man who attacked you?¡±

    Lin Chen closed his eyes trying his best to remember. Eventually, the image of Zhao Yao wearing a mask, holding a backpack finally emerged in his mind.

    He looked at the bald man and said, ¡°Do you want to arrest him?¡±

    The man smiled and said, ¡°This is confidential, I have noments.¡±

    Lin Chen looked intently and said, ¡°Take me along and I¡¯ll tell you all I know.¡±

    ¡°Do not think too highly of yourself, what had just happened was trivial and it does not matter if that man escapes.¡±

    Just as the bald-headed man was about to speak, the entire hospital building started shaking vigorously.

    ¡°Is it happening again? Damn it, this is getting more and more frequent. If this carries on...¡±

    Elsewhere, Zhao Yao was evading all sort of cameras and surveince systems while carrying his three cats. He managed to reach his Panamera, which was parked a few streets away. He eventually returned to thefort and safety of his own home.

    Once at home, Matcha gave a cheer of delight and lied down on the sofa.

    He said softly, ¡°There¡¯s nothing morefortable than home.¡±

    Elizabeth sat at her usual position near the window, silently hoping that Zhao Yao would give her a mobile phone.

    Roly Poly was rather afraid and stood near Zhao Yao¡¯s feet. Mango then came and inspected Roly Poly thoroughly, looking and smelling her. Clearly, this cat was extremely curious about the new cat at home.

    Zhao Yao patted Roly Poly¡¯s head and said, ¡°The password for the wifi is xxxxxx. Remember to add me as a friend and join my chat group.¡±

    Zhao Yao then went into the stray cats¡¯ room. More than a dozen cats meowed and surrounded him as he came in.

    ¡°Be good, go have your lunch.¡±

    Having delivered them their lunch, Zhao Yao lied back onto the sofa and looked at the interface of BOOK. The mission regarding the Brotherhood had already beenpleted, and that granted him 200 experience points.

    Thinking of this, Zhao Yao licked his lips.

    ¡°Another 900+ more experience points are required before BOOK can get to level 3. If the 200 points are used on BOOK, there¡¯s still quite some way before it levels up. But if the points are used on Matcha or Elizabeth instead, they¡¯ll level up right away.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked and realized that both Matcha and Elizabeth required 90+ points to level up to level 3.

    Zhao Yao thought silently, ¡°I would get more abilities in a quicker time if I level up BOOK, but it¡¯s going to take too much time. By leveling up Matcha, I could rapidly increase battling capabilities.¡±

    Seeing that new supercats keep appearing in Jiangmen city, Zhao Yao feltpelled to gain more power. Power for him to protect himself, to protect his cats. Only by relying on abilities and power will he be able to achieve that.

    And amongst his current supercats, it was evident that Matcha¡¯s ability was the strongest.

    Thinking until this point, Zhao Yao hesitated no further and spent the experience points on Matcha, leveling him up to level 3.

    Having leveled up from level 2 to 3, the skill tree opened up again. The level 2 skills had been selected previously, and there¡¯s no way to go back to select them now. Zhao Yao turned his attention directly to the 2 skills avable on level 3.

    Boiling Point: While time is frozen, the user is able to take in positive energy, resulting in the physical body doubling in speed.

    Timeflow disruption: Send an immense power to disrupt the opponent¡¯s sense of time.

    Zhao Yao inspected the introduction of the two abilities. The first one was very clear in its exnation. The effect will effectively double the amount of effective frozen time they have. The second one was more confusing. Zhao Yao didn¡¯t understand what the disruption of sense of time entailed, and there was no further exnation.

    After thinking for a moment, Zhao Yao decided to select boiling point.

    After selecting the skill, Zhao Yao activated his ability. Seeing everything frozen around him, he moved his arm slightly only to feel himself feeling much lighter and more rxed than before.

    A slight movement of his arm and his arm felt like a bolt of lightning in front of him. A few small steps and he discovered that he had already gone one round around the dining hall.

    ¡°Not merely the speed of the body, but my thinking has also sped up.¡± Zhao Yao revealed a slight smile, ¡°The only thing uncertain is the amount of strength which can be exerted...¡±

    Thinking until this point, hended a punch on the sofa.

    Time resumed, and a boom came from the sofa, just like an explosive was lighted aze.

    Zhao Yao punched the sofa once again, but the sound emitted was a far cry from the previous one.

    ¡°Indeed. Not simply increased speed, but when punches arended at twice the speed, the strength would double as well.

    Faster speed, more strength, greater power.

    Although he didn¡¯t know the reasoning behind this skill, Zhao Yao¡¯s power had increased a few times due to his faster movement speed.

    With the strength of the celestial beats and the new speed from Boiling Point, Zhao Yao was bing more powerful when time froze.

    Roly Poly was shocked by Zhao Yao, grabbing onto his head and shouting, ¡°Don¡¯t hit me, don¡¯t hit me. Please don¡¯t hit me! I already added all of you on wechat.¡±

    Zhao Yao touched his head and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. In this house, as long as you don¡¯t piss or defecate everywhere, there won¡¯t be beatings even if you tear the sofa, or even bite wires.¡±

    Just then, a loud growl came from Roly Poly¡¯s stomach. His eyes widened, and looked at Zhao Yao pitifully, ¡°I¡¯m hungry, can I have some food?¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you eat back at the Brotherhood? Why are you hungry so soon?¡± Zhao Yao shook his head and took a small bowl of cat food for Roly Poly.

    He then switched his phone on and checked wechat, and he found that Matcha and himself were indeed added to Roly Poly¡¯s wechat.

    There might be supercats in this wechat group, but the group was actually very casual and rxed. It was just a group for everyone to chat.

    Once Roly Poly acknowledged their ounts to the administrator, the two were admitted into the group.

    Handsome joined the group.

    The Strongest Lu Ban joined the group.

    As they entered the group, a few IDs in the group started chatting.

    An ID called Meow Gibson, who was the administrator, said, ¡°Wee new members. Human or cat? Male or female?¡±

    ¡°Show your pictures.¡± Leopard Head said, ¡°@Chubby Luban Assassin, your opponent is here.¡±

    Another ID called number 1 dried fish fan said, ¡°Another one who likes Mobile Legends? Great, we can form a team now.¡±

    Evidently this number 1 dried fish fan and chubby luban assassin liked ying mobile legends.

    Before Zhao Yao even spoke, Matcha had already sent a message.

    The Strongest Luban, ¡°Are you guys good, don¡¯t drag me down. Let me carry the other 4.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes, looking at the members in the group and thinking, ¡°This time, they couldn¡¯t know who was on the other side of the screen.¡±

    Just then, chubby luban assassin replied, ¡°Very wild, new guy. Do you know how many lubans I killed?¡±

    The Strongest Luban, ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go for a 1v1.¡±

    Chuby luban assassin, ¡°Hahaha, brother, I can already see your crying face.¡±

    The Strongest Luban, ¡°Hehehehe, mister, I can already hear you smashing your phone in anger.¡±

    Chubby luban assassin, ¡°see you on the solo map. Loser calls the winner daddy.¡±

    He sent out an invite after saying that. Zhao Yao looked over to see Matcha looking and pressing on his screen intently.

    Leopard Head replied, ¡°What about the other new guy? Handsome, why are you not saying anything?¡±

    ¡°Looking at this name, must be a pedigree cat?¡± Number 1 dried fish fan said, ¡°why are all of them so narcissistic?¡±

    Meow Gibson then said, ¡°He probably hasn¡¯t learned to type. Leopard, have you forgotten the time you first came in? You could only make sounds no one could understand.¡±

    Leopard Head said, ¡°Then wait till he learns to type then we¡¯ll get him to send his photo.¡±

    Number 1 dried fish fan sent aical emoticon and said, ¡°Quickly learn to type, newbie. There¡¯s no way to survive in this world if you can¡¯t type.¡±

    Leopard Head said, ¡°Damn it, another order is here. I¡¯ve got to go deliver stuff.¡±

    Zhao Yao, seeing that a few people have gone offline, put down his phone and started thinking about the experience points.

    ¡°More than a hundred experience points remaining, I¡¯ll use them on Elizabeth to increase her battling abilities.¡±

    Although Matcha had leveled up and learned a new ability which allowed Zhao Yao to be stronger, Zhao Yao thought about the numerous abilities he watched in movies and anime and couldn¡¯t help but to worry. Having given Elizabeth the experience points, she leveled up into level 3 as well.

    The two new abilities shown in level 3 were:

    5 senses maniption: During illusions, apart from being able to manipte sight and sound, one of the other 3 senses can be manipted as well.

    Distance maniption: Targets being manipted by sight can now leave sight for up to a minute.

    As he saw the two new abilities of Elizabeth, Zhao Yao silentlypared them to the previous ability. ¡°The illusionary capabilities that Elizabeth currently has can only create visual and sound effects, and although they may seem really convincing, they are exposed easily. If it could really achieve all five senses, then there would not be much difference between illusion and reality. The only w would be the randomness of which sense I would get.¡±

    Besides sound and sight, the other senses were smell, taste and touch, and it was clear that touch was most important in illusions, but randomly choosing would not guarantee which of the senses were chosen.

    ¡°The distance maniption is also quite powerful, but it dosesn¡¯t seem really useful to me¡±. After some consideration, Zhao Yao decided to just leave it to luck, and randomly choose one of the five senses.

    As he chose among the five senses, the sense of smell was chosen. ¡°Sigh, I didn¡¯t get the sense of touch.¡± Zhao Yao pouted as he said, ¡°but the sense of smell is not bad too, this makes Elizabeth¡¯s illusions more convincing and real now.¡±

    ¡°Haha, son, call me daddy, and I can help you fight for rankings¡±, said Chubby Luban Assassin.

    The strongest luban said, ¡°Don¡¯t chicken out anymore, 2 wins out of 3 games, whoever loses and doesn¡¯t call ¡°daddy¡± is the son of a bitch (dog)! Do you dare ept my challenge?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s a little too much¡± Meow Gibson advised, ¡°Cant you just assemble a team and fight it out?¡±

    Chubby Luban Assassin said, ¡°Hehe, if I lose, I¡¯ll eat shit immediately.¡±

    The Strongest Luban replied, ¡°If I lose I will eat shit standing upside down!¡±

    Chubby Luban Assassin rebutted, ¡°I¡¯ll eat shit for one month!¡±

    Not willing to lose, The Strongest Luban replied, ¡°I¡¯ll shit standing upside down then eat it upside down!¡±

    ¡°Fight fight fight!¡± Number 1 dried fish fan eximed.

    Leopard head said, ¡°These newbies are really ruthless.¡±

    Meow Gibson stared nkly and said, ¡°Why must you guyspete by eating shit?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the chat log and curled his lips as he sat by Matcha¡¯s side, watching the two of them set up a one on one battle between each other.

    He then watched as the two heroes Lu Ban and Li Yuanfang kept moving around, and other than standard attacks, neither of them was able to hit the other hero with skills.

    Matcha eximed, ¡°Damn, this fellow moves so unpredictably, I totally cannot predict which spot he will move to next.¡±

    ¡°I fully cannot predict the movements of the both of you two.....¡± Zhao Yao stroked Matcha¡¯s head and rolled his eyes as he said, ¡°Games in the gold rank and below are just like that, you never know your opponent¡¯s next move...¡±

    However, even though the movements of the two looked exactly the same to Zhao Yao, Matcha eventually found himself in a weaker position.

    Matcha then immediately jumped onto Zhao Yao¡¯s body and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao,e and fight in my ce! I¡¯m losing!¡±

    ¡°But that¡¯s cheating!¡± replied Zhao Yao as he shook his head, ¡°Do you think I¡¯m that kind of person?¡±

    Matcha then held his phone and leaned on Zhao Yao¡¯s head, ¡°If I lose I¡¯m the one shitting standing upside down, are you sure you want me doing that in your house?¡±

    At the thought of that, a cold shiver ran down Zhao Yao¡¯s spine, as he realized that if matcha really excreted standing upside down, it was him that would be cleaning up all the feces.

    ¡°Hand it over,¡± said Zhao Yao as he snatched the phone over.

    Thus the Lu Ban in the brawl map suddenly flew up with vigor, disyed all kinds of nimble acrobatics, and unleashing series of urate skills. He had turned the game aroundpletely, suddenly forcing his opponent into the defensive.

    But just as Zhao Yao¡¯s side was on the verge of victory, the opposing hero suddenly disconnected.

    The next moment, the Chubby Luban assassin said in the chat, ¡°The dog in my house disconnected my inte, this game¡¯s not counted¡±

    The strongest Lu Ban replied, ¡°Disconnecting on purpose because you can¡¯t beat me? Sure, but do you dare to rematch?¡±

    ¡°What did you say? I can¡¯t see your words clearly, the inte signal at my house is bad, my stupid dog is pulling the cable again.¡±

    The strongest Lu Ban said, ¡°Scram, do you take me for an idiot? What has the signal got to do if you can see my words clearly?¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t continue anymore, I can¡¯t even see your image clearly, that stupid dog seems to have eaten the whole cable, I¡¯ve got to call the shit digger to save him, I¡¯ll log off first.¡±

    ¡°You ****, get back here and call me daddy!¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the chat conversation and turned to look at the visibly excited matcha jumping up and down the sofa, and quietly rolled his eyes.

    At this moment, Elizabeth scowled from the windowside, ¡°Zhao Yao, the handphone!¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes I know. I¡¯ll buy you a new one.¡± He then turned on hisputer, nning to buy Elizabeth a new phone.

    But as he walked to the hall, the sound of a huge burp made him turn around. He saw Roly Poly lying at the corner of the wall, his two paws trying its hardest to cover his mouth. He then turned towards Zhao Yao with some embarrassment, and by his side was a bag of empty potato chips. Actually, he ate a few mouthfuls of cat food and turned to bury them with a look of resentment, digging away at the ground with his legs.

    In order to save their food for their next meal, wild cats would bury their food in the ground, and dig it up to eat again when they get hungry. Housecats do the same when they get full from eating or eat something they dislike like. As there was no soil in the house, it looked like they were digging in the air.

    After he was done with his burying, Roly Poly ran over to tear open and eat Zhao Yao¡¯s food when he wasn¡¯t looking.

    ¡°Damn!¡± eximed Zhao Yao in shock. ¡°don¡¯t you know that you can¡¯t eat human food?¡± he covered his face with a look of helplessness, as he knew that human food was full of preservatives and cannot be digested by cats.

    Eating too much of human food would cause all kinds of inmmations and kidney failure. It was nothing but harmful to cats.

    Roly Poly covered his mouth and could not help but let out a burp as he said with a look of fear, ¡°Don¡¯t hit me, it was not on purpose, I couldn¡¯t control myself, human food is really too delicious!¡±

    Seeing his look of fear, Zhao Yao sighed helplessly, ¡°Your previous owner really spoiled you too much, from today onwards, you¡¯re not allowed to eat any human food¡±

    Seeing Roly Poly¡¯s helpless look, Zhao Yao decided he would have to control his cat well, and never let him eat human food.

    On the other side, in the little vige near Zhao Yao¡¯s house, Xiao Shiyu, in her work uniform and high-heeled shoes, with a bag of cat food in her hand, walked around her vige, ¡°Mi mi?¡± in reply to her shouts, from the corner of a garden came a cat¡¯s meow, and hearing the sound of the cat, Xiao Shiyu walked over with a look of joy.

    She saw that a litter of kittens, only a few months old, was calling to her, as at their side were a few fully grown stray cats lying around.

    Yet, it was the sight of a middle-aged man squatting next to the kittens that made her walk over.

    As if he heard the footsteps of Xiao Shiyu, the middle-aged man turned around, and with a smile, he asked, ¡°Are you here to feed the cats too? He then showed the bag of cat food he held in his hand.¡±

    As she saw his kind and friendly demeanor while feeding the cats, Xiao Shiyu was immediately filled with relief.

    ¡°Yes, these kittens were born not long ago, I want to give them extra food.¡±

    One of the cats, with white fur and tangerine stripes, circled Xiao Shiyu and kept jumping around, with its eyes appearing to say something.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why aren¡¯t you eating¡±

    The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Shiyu and asked, ¡°You like cats too? do you raise cats yourself?¡±

    ¡°Yes, I think they are pretty cute. But I¡¯m too busy with work to take care of cats. I normally just feed stray cats in the vige.¡±

    Seeing the surrounding cats gathering together, it appeared that Xiao Shiyu was already a familiar figure.

    Animals like cats, especially stray ones, have very high distrust and fear.

    For strangers, even with food in their hands, it would be difficult to draw them over.

    With Xiao Shiyu¡¯s familiar look, it was clear that she had been feeding the cats for a long time.

    ¡°You¡¯re busy with work?¡± asked the middle-aged man.

    Seeing the stray cats happily enjoying the cat food, Xiao Shiyu seemed to let her guard down, and said casually, ¡°Of course I¡¯m busy, this is Jiangmen City, do you know my monthly rental alone is two thousand, and considering expenses on food, entertaining clients, buying clothes, makeup and supplements, there are too many things I need to spend on, and I barely save any money every month.¡±

    With a warm smile, the middle-aged man said, ¡°Is your old hometown still around?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m better off staying here, my old hometown is a small vige, and my parents can¡¯t help me. Working along in Jiangmen City really makes it difficult for me to cope.¡± Xiao Shiyu looked at the middle-aged man, and asked, ¡± Are you a local? You guys have it easy, it takes us several decades of work to even afford a house.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re not considering going back?¡± asked the middle-aged man.

    ¡°Go back? What can I do back there? I studied for many years, and I should just go back to be a farmer?¡± said Xiao Shiyu with a bitter smile.

    The two of them continued chatting, and ten minutester, seeing Xiao Shiyu¡¯s back turn as she walked away, the middle-aged man¡¯s gaze turned towards the cat that was circling around Xiao Shiyu.

    That cat continued to growl at Xiao Shiyu as if it had something to say to her.

    The middle-aged man then walked away with a smile on his face.

    A momentter, a person that looked just like Xiao Shiyu but wearing the clothes of the middle-aged man appeared and squatted in front of the cat.

    ¡°Little fellow, what do you want to say?¡±

    When it saw the man who looked exactly like Xiao Shiyu in front of its eyes, the kitten hesitated for a moment, lifted its head and sniffed hard. Once it confirmed that there was no issue with his scent, it rushed forward immediately, rubbing its head against his palm repeatedly.

    ¡°I¡¯ll... I¡¯ll give it to you!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll give it to you!¡±

    Once he heard the voice from his head, the man chuckled, ¡°So what are you going to give me?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll give it to you!¡±

    The next moment, following the contact between its head and his palm, the man felt an overwhelming forceing from its body, this force, gentle yet firm, felt like it was constantly rushing towards the direction of his brain.

    He simply decided to let down his guard and to let this overwhelming force flow right into his brain.

    ¡°So, is this your power?¡± His eyes showed a slight tinge of surprise.

    ¡°Miaow.¡± Xiao Miao let out a purr, stretched out his paw and left a cut on the man¡¯s hand.

    But moments after the wound was open, it began to heal by itself.

    After wiping away the fresh blood from the wound and to see that the skin on his hand waspletely free of the scar, the man chuckled,¡± This ability is pretty amazing.¡±

    ¡°I have heard that every special human being is able to borrow one special ability, but am I able to borrow these special abilities like how humans do?¡±

    ¡°Erm.... maybe it¡¯s because of the contact between two bodies?¡±

    Looking at the kitten rub its paw against its face with some sort of attachment, the man simply squint his eyes slightly, ¡°This ability is not too bad, but...¡±

    At that moment, the image of Xiao Shiyu shed across his mind.

    ...

    In the following few days, Zhao Yao followed his usual routine making cat food in the morning, followed by the training of his superpower,pleting daily tasks assigned, and checking to see if there was any supernatural activity in Jiangmen City, as he looked forward to seeing the growth of Matcha and Elizabeth every day.

    As he entered the kitchen with a high-speed camera, Zhao Yao took a kitchen knife in his hand and aimed it at the radish on the chopping board.

    At the next moment, everything seemed to stay still as Zhao Yao used his forearm to cut the radish. After returning to his original position, time continued to flow as normal.

    From an outsider¡¯s perspective, the whole process seemed like he merely vibrated his body and finished chopping the radish in one go, and that the whole process of chopping the radish was perfectly hidden by the freezing of time.

    The next moment Zhao Yao jerked his body, the radish was chopped in one go.

    As the high-speed camera filmed Zhao Yao, everything seemed like it was vibrating, the radish seemed like they were being chopped by the wind back and forth as if it had been sliced by a sword. In a blink of an eye, the radish was chopped into thin slices like silk.

    When the radish was segmentedpletely, Zhao Yao let out a big sigh, rubbing his temples to ease his nerves.

    ¡°It seems there is progress yet again, once I ignited the fire inside of me, the speed of action and thinking multiplied hugely when time froze, thus I now have a stronger grasp with regards to the connection with time.

    The present Zhao Yao was making cat food, his fulfilling his daily task and strengthening his superpower.

    After finishing chopping the radishes, he took the high-speed camera he left at the side and nced over the videos he had taken.

    What he paid attention to was the duration of every single cut of the radish, which represented how much he was able to control time.

    ¡°0.3s... 0.5s... 0.7s...¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin,¡± Under a timing of a second, it definitely does not show that I have managed to control time very well, however as long as it is going to be very useful, it should be fine.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s goal was to stop time within a time frame of 0.5 seconds, which represented the time needed to cool-down before he is able to freeze time again.

    After all, at the speed he was in when he froze time, with the fact that he was holding a knife, it can be fatal within 0.5seconds. Therefore he wished to reduce his timing, to reduce the timing of his cool-down at the same time.

    A cool-down of 0.5seconds can greatly increase his safety when he is out of a time freeze, reducing his loopholes.

    ¡°Hmm, at this rate where I am able to quickly cast the power of time freezing, and reduce the cool-down in which I cast this ability, it is going to be very useful. It illustrates that every few milliseconds, I can unleash a fatal stab using my de during closebat.¡±

    ¡°This means that I need to have a really good grasp of controlling time.¡±

    Zhao Yao moved to a side, in his hand held a kitchen knife, and aimed at a piece of beef.

    Thud Thud Thud! The air felt like a de sweeping and slicing through constantly, as the huge chunk of beef repeatedly bes segmented into small, thin slices of beef.

    As he was strengthening his super ability, Zhao Yao examined the cat food.

    ¡°Mmhm. This time, let us try using less nutrient powder, and rely directly on the nutrients from food.¡±

    He shifted his eyes towards the countertop in the kitchen. The countertop had all sorts of ingredients such as chicken breast, heart, liver, beef, salmon, and squid.

    ¡°Mmhm. Animal meat provides protein and fat. Beef, Beef bile, Chicken heart, liver, salmon, and squid all contain taurine.¡±

    During this period of time, Zhao Yao checked all sorts of online resources to understand all types of nutrients. Taurine was said to be the most important nutrient for cats and was the most easily neglected by cat owners. A cat needs to have a sufficient daily intake of taurine, to maintain one¡¯s intestines, immunity, vision, and other factors.

    For this cat food, Zhao Yao prepared all sorts of ingredients containing taurine.

    An appropriate amount of pumpkin promotes digestion and contains many vitamins. But an overdose of pumpkin will cause diarrhea due to excessive carbohydrate intake. He took the ingredients from the countertop and threw them into the blender one by one. ¡°Vegetables such as celery and pumpkin are able to provide magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus too.¡±

    As Zhao Yao noted the various nutrients contained within these ingredients, he threw them one by one into the blender and started to mix all these ingredients together.

    As the high-speed blender started to mix the ingredients, the ingredients looked like wanton or dumpling stuffing.

    After the blending, Zhao Yao took out the meat mixture and poured into a box to let it steam.

    As this mixture did not contain oil or salt, it should be a healthier option for the cats.

    Outside the kitchen, Matcha, Elizabeth, and Mango were already getting impatient as they started to purr endlessly.

    Roly Poly simplyid itself on the ss door of the kitchen, where its saliva was flowing out like a waterfall.

    After he was done with the cat food, Zhao Yao looked at the abovements and slightly shook his head, ¡°This is still considered top tier cat food, but isn¡¯t this too difficult to make? Is it nutritionally unbnced? Or is there a problem with the ingredients?¡±

    Zhao Yao raised his eyebrows and started tasting the food, allowing him to understand that making good cat food is much more difficult than what he expected it to be.

    The contents of the cat food must suit the cat¡¯s weight and condition. Thus, the various levels, standards, proportions, and weight of the minerals, vitamins, fat, and taurine must vary with each cat.

    Zhao Yao knocked his head, ¡°At least I¡¯ve learned something about nutrients. In order to create high-quality cat food, it will take me much more effort.¡±

    As he delivered the cat food outside, the cats lowered their heads and started taking big mouthfuls.

    Only Roly Poly looked at his small and tiny bowl and noticed that the bowls of Elizabeth and the rest of the cats were much bigger. Roly Polyined, ¡°Why am I given such a small amount of cat food?¡±

    ¡°Look at your stomach, do you even feel at ease to eat at all?¡± Zhao Yao twitched, ¡°If I were you, I wouldn¡¯t even consider eating this at all.¡±

    Roly Poly nced furiously at Zhao Yao, as anger turned into hunger, and gobbled down the cat food. However, he felt the few mouthfuls he took were close to chewing on wax.

    ¡°It smells pretty good, but god does it taste awful.¡± Roly Poly raised its head and looked at Elizabeth and the crew eating heartedly. His eyes showed a tinge of sadness, ¡°And you guys are also able to enjoy this kind of rubbish... sigh.. how I wish to have KFC right now, it has been a long time since I touched their Original Chicken.¡±

    At another corner, Zhao Yao passed the extra cat food over to the stray cats in the room. At this moment, his phone vibrated. He looked at the message, and his eyes showed a sign of dismay.

    ¡°The information I got from Big Brother Fei is rted to that of the cat killer...¡±

    <h4>Chapter 42: The Murder</h4>

    On the second day at the same hotel, Song Fei handed Zhao Yao a stack of documents, ¡°The details in these documents aren¡¯t what they seem to be. I would advise you to destroy them after reading.¡±

    ¡°The superiors are watching. In fact, this has deeper implications than we thought. You should not delve into it.¡± Song Fei said with a stern expression.

    Understanding the severity of the situation, Zhao Yao briefly flipped through the documents. As expected, the documents were details of tip-offs that Song Fei consolidated. With 12 murder cases alreadymitted, including 2 deceased officials, even with utmost efforts to contain the facts, it can no longer be suppressed. More shockingly, these 12 cases were notmitted by just one serial killer, which meant that these acts were done by a diabolical group of them. With no loss of valuable possessions at the scene of crime, it was clear that the killer¡¯s intention was of pure revenge as all the victims¡¯ remains had been cruelly maimed and tortured.

    After Zhao Yao was done with the documents, Song Fei grabbed it from him and burned it all to ashes. As he looked up from the charred debris, he said, ¡°Do you understand the gravity of the situation now?¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded, and though he said nothing, he thought to himself, ¡°What exactly could the supercat do? Control humans? Conjure illusions? Shapeshift? This supercat is too dangerous! We have to stop him as soon as possible.¡±

    With no further assistance provided by the police, Zhao Yao turned his attention to the supercat¡¯s case.

    After Song Fei left, Zhao Yao went on to WeChat and discovered that a new member, Yiyi, had joined the SuperCat group.

    ¡°Does anyone have new information on the supercat¡¯s killing spree recently?¡± Zhao Yao asked in the chat.

    ¡°Finally learned how to type?¡± Leopard Head mocked Zhao Yao, ¡°Meow meow meow, there¡¯s a killer cat on the loose? Is this for real?¡±

    Number 1 dried fish fan replied, ¡°It must have been a moggy cat. These killers are the most psychotic and ill-tempered.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t joke about the breed!¡± Meow Gibson said, ¡°I think I¡¯ve heard of this before, why do you want to know?¡±

    Just as Zhao Yao was about to reply, he held back and wondered if the Supercat was also in this group chat. ying on the side of caution, he replied, ¡°I heard it from a friend. Just curious.¡±

    ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be bothered about this.¡± Meow Gibson replied, ¡°I heard that these cats are just seeking revenge for the abuse they have gone through. ¡±

    ¡°Though humans are strong, not all are bad. I don¡¯t support the actions of these revenge-seeking killer cats.¡± Meow Gibson continued, ¡°Everyone here is a neutral party If you see these cats, don¡¯t get too close to them. A war with humans will not only make us suffer but so will every other innocent cat.¡±

    Chubby Luban Assassin interrupted, ¡°I¡¯m not afraid of humans. I¡¯ve killed over 2000 humans in People¡¯s Square and even the tanks couldn¡¯t stop me. If not for my stomach-ache, I would have invaded the City Hall!¡±

    ¡°Stop showing off, chubby¡± Leopard Head replied. ¡°Wasn¡¯t it just yesterday that you were sat on by the house husky?¡±

    ¡°How could I bring myself to kill such an adorable and yful husky?¡± Chubby Luban Assassin said defensively.

    Realising that they were drifting off topic, Zhao Yao ced his phone down and thought hard about deciphering the supercat¡¯s thinking and rationale for killing.

    He muttered to himself, ¡°I guess for now all I can do is to check the inte constantly for any supernatural cases and garner more evidence of the possible location of these cases from my daily patrol. Hopefully, this will lead me straight to supercat.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s phone suddenly rang aloud. It was Xiao Shiyu.

    ¡°Hello, what¡¯s up?¡± Zhao Yao asked.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, do you know what¡¯s with Bai Quan?¡±

    ¡°Bai Quan?¡± Zhao Yao expressed concern, ¡°Did he do something to you again?¡±

    ¡°No¡±, Xiao Shiyu¡¯s voice broke, ¡°This morning he came apologizing to me, saying that he will not harass me anymore and then quit his job right after.¡±

    ¡°Oh,¡± Zhao Yao smiled, ¡°isn¡¯t that great?

    ¡°But it was too sudden. This is so unlike him. Is this your doing?¡±

    ¡°I did speak to him, he¡¯s a nice chap!¡± Zhao Yaoughed.

    ¡°Oh, so it was really you? I haven¡¯t thanked you for buying a property near me yet.¡± Xiao Shiyu smiled.

    ¡°So, my savior, can I treat you to a meal soon?¡±

    ¡°Sure, when?¡±

    ¡°How about tonight?¡± Xiao Shiyu said. ¡°An ordinary girl like me can¡¯t afford to treat you to a luxurious meal. I hope you don¡¯t mind.¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled and said, ¡°What time do you get off work, I cane and pick you up.¡±

    Upon reaching home, Matcha was ying with his phone, Roly Poly was lying on the floor with a look of boredom and Mango was running around in the living room. Zhao Yao looked at the window seal and found Elizabeth ying with her phone. Realizing that Elizabeth had just gotten a new phone this morning, Zhao Yao asked her, ¡°Are you Yiyi in the Wechat group?¡±

    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me!¡± Elizabeth eximed excitedly and jumped down from the window seal, her lush and fluffy fur ruffled as shended. ¡°Do you have any news on the killer supercat?¡±

    ¡°Oh..¡± Zhao Yao thought about it and decided to tell Elizabeth about the information he gathered about the killer cat.

    ¡°For now, the killer cat¡¯s location is still unknown, but I n to gather more information from the inte and the SuperCats WeChat group. I will also be patrolling every day and look into more suspicious locations.¡±

    With beautiful sparkling sapphire blue eyes, Elizabeth asked Zhao Yao very seriously, ¡°Can Ie along? I want to contribute to this search too.¡±

    Zhao Yao continued with his usual routine, prepared food for the cats and did a workout. He then continued online to search for possible suspicious locations.

    That night, as he drove over to pick Xiao Shiyu up for dinner, he brought Elizabeth along, with ns of exploring the suspicious ces with Elizabeth after dinner and hopefully obtaining some trace of SuperCat.

    Being left at home, Matcha and Mango started indulging in their food but Roly Poly was not enjoying it. He thought, ¡°What kind of life is this? Why do I have to eat the same thing every day, it¡¯s like living in hell. I can¡¯t take it anymore.¡±

    Making sure no one was watching him, he whipped out his phone and opened the food delivery app.

    At that very moment, Matcha crept up from behind Roly Poly and asked, ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    In shock, Roly Poly hastily apologized, ¡°Sorry, sorry, sorry, I wasn¡¯t nning to order delivery !¡±

    ¡°Oh? Food delivery?¡± Matcha snatched over Roly Poly¡¯s phone to take a look at the app. ¡°Oh my, you have money??¡±

    Upon seeing Roly Poly nodding his head, Matcha patted his head proudly and asked slyly, ¡°Brother, have you yed Mobile Legends before?¡±

 Chapter 43: Blackmail

    <h4>Chapter 43: ckmail</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Cats belong to a group of animals that have a strong guarded mentality and most of them are actually very timid.

    They¡¯ll hide at the slightest sign of trouble.

    Favourite hangout spots for cats include any small spaces that resemble a tiny cave as it gives them a feeling of security. Hence, most cats enjoy lounging under the bed, in the closet or in a box.

    Only after living in the house for a long time, will they slowly get used to the environment and treat it as the safest ce, and slowly be more rxed.

    Roly Poly was apparently a very timid cat.

    Even though he might be a little ck-bellied, he always seemed especially weak in front of humans or other cats.

    Just like now, looking at Matcha, who had a wicked smile on his face, Roly Poly¡¯s fat body trembled once. He said, ¡°I¡¯ve not yed Mobile Legends before.¡±

    ¡°Is that so...,¡± Matcha licked his lips, ¡°I¡¯ll teach you then, it will be fun.¡±

    Ten minutester, Roly Poly was still ying the Mobile Legends tutorial helplessly and when he saw that it finally ended, he couldn¡¯t help but silently heave a sigh of relief.

    At this moment, Matcha, who was beside him, stretched out his ws and rapped the floorboard. The clear and sharp sound frightened and startled Roly Poly.

    ¡°Roly Poly, my finances are a little tight recently, could you lend me some money.¡±

    ¡°...This is extortion...¡± Looking at Matcha¡¯s w slowly stroking the floor, Roly Poly said with a crying face, ¡°I...I don¡¯t have much money either.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s fine, you just have to help me buy the 28.8 monthly gift box.¡± Matcha showed off his sharp teeth, ¡°I¡¯ll help you get on the ranking board in return.¡±

    ¡°But I don¡¯t want to y Mobile Legends, I just want to eat Kentucky.¡± Looking at Matcha¡¯s sharp teeth, Roly Poly did not dare to speak his mind.

    Seeing that Roly Poly had not yet bought the monthly gift box, Matcha tilted his head, his expression darkened and said in annoyance, ¡°Well? Do you think that I will not return you the money? Do you think that I can¡¯t even afford to repay you this measly amount?¡±

    Saying so, his ws lightly scraped across the floorboard, producing a screeching sound.

    ¡°N...N...No it¡¯s not like that.¡± Roly Poly trembled and bought Matcha that monthly gift box.

    The ount that he used to pay with was opened using his previous master¡¯s identity documents, which he had stolen using his invisibility powers. The few thousand dors earned by him and his brothers were saved in this ount.

    Since his master did not use a payment ount, they were able to go undiscovered.

    Nevertheless, the few thousand dors that Roly Poly had secretly saved had been umted little by little.

    ¡°Hahaha, you¡¯re indeed a good brother.¡± Matcha looked at the diamonds and monthly gift box in his paws and smiled instantly. Patting Roly Poly on his head, he said, ¡°Come, let me help you get onto the leaderboards.¡±

    Saying so, he fished out the cell phone that Zhao Yao bought him and said, ¡°Perfect, let¡¯s try this baby out.¡±

    ¡°One doesn¡¯t let me eat, another snatched my money.¡± Roly Poly was crying on the inside, and silently roared, ¡°This human and this cat are both hooligans ¨C bullies! Who will save me! I must escape from here!¡±

    ...

    On the other side, Zhao Yao was driving with Elizabeth in his Panamera to Xiao Shiyu¡¯s workce.

    Although the Panamera was not a sports car, it cost a million dors and was considered expensive for most people.

    Stopping outside the door now, it immediately attracted the attention of many passersby.

    Xiao Shiyu quickly rushed over and greeted Zhao Yao with a smile.

    When the people in the shop saw this scene, they immediately started gossiping.

    ¡°Who¡¯s this? Xiao Shiyu¡¯s boyfriend?¡±

    ¡°How¡¯s the car? Is it worth a lot? Looks really pretty.¡±

    ¡°This is Porsche¡¯s Panamera, probably costs a million dors.¡±

    One person said jealously, ¡°Xiao Shiyu¡¯s so lucky to find herself an affluent second generation man.¡±

    ¡°Sigh, if only I had someone to drive me to and fro work in a sports car.¡±

    ¡°Give me awhile more, I still have some work to do.¡± Xiao Shiyu said to Zhao Yao.

    ¡°It¡¯s fine, I will wait for you by the side.¡± Zhao Yao replied.

    About a 100 meters away from Panamera stood a middle-aged man dressed in a blouse and pants, his pupils started dting as he looked at Xiao Shiyu and Zhao Yao, who was sitting in the car.

    ¡°To kill....¡±

    ¡°Or not to kill...¡±

    ¡°To kill....¡±

    ¡°Or not to kill...¡±

    Confusion was written on his face, ¡°If I kill, it will be against my principles. But if I don¡¯t, this power will still be useful, and if she took it away, I would be in trouble.¡±

    Looking at Zhao Yao, the middle-aged man thought, ¡°Boyfriend?¡±. He recalled that Xiao Shiyu did talk about something rted before, like, ¡°Yep, find a rich boyfriend and I will be able to live in Jiangmen City.¡±

    ¡°If I kill you, I should kill him too.¡±

    At this moment, Zhao Yao became suspicious and turned his head over to look at the middle-aged man.

    The middle-aged man smiled back, thinking, ¡°Eh? He is so sensitive, that¡¯s quite rare for a human.¡±

    ¡°If he¡¯s so sensitive, would it also mean that he will be able very good at detecting when someone is suffering ?¡±

    Thinking of which, he couldn¡¯t help but shiver. Like a cat when it sees a mouse, like a lion when it sees amb, having the desire to pounce on the prey. Just then, images of predators indulging on their prey appeared in his thoughts.

    ¡°No, I can¡¯t¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t kill.¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t just kill as I want here.¡±

    Giving Zhao Yao onest look, the middle-aged man held back his temptation to kill and left.

    Zhao Yao frowned.

    Elizabeth asked, ¡± What happened, Zhao Yao?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Zhao Yao said while shaking his head, ¡°I think I saw a weird person.¡±

    Momentster, Xiao Shiyu carried her handbag and went into Zhao Yao¡¯s Panamera but caught a glimpse Elizabeth lying in the back seat with bright eyes sparkling in the dark.

    ¡°That is so adorable! Zhao Yao, you have another cat?¡±

    Xiao Shiyu excitedly returned her gaze towards the back seat where Elizabeth, with fur so soft and luscious,id graciously. The impably adorable ragdoll characteristics of Elizabethpletely won over her as she swiftly went over and picked Elizabeth up.

    ¡°What is the cat¡¯s breed? Why does it look so much like a princess? It¡¯s so soft and fluffy!¡± Xiao Shiyu said as she caressed Elizabeth in her arms after failing to plunge her head into the luscious fur of Elizabeth having been stopped by her paws.

    As ragdoll cats are a new breed of cats that only surfaced in the past 10 years, it was no surprise that many did not know of its existence.

    ¡°This is a Ragdoll cat, it¡¯s a rtively new breed of domesticated cats.¡± Zhao Yao said with a smile.

    ¡°How much is this? I want to have one too!¡± Xiao Shiyu eximed in curiosity.

    Zhao Yao pondered for a moment and replied, ¡°Normally they cost around 10 to 30 000 dors because of they are bred in small quantity and not many cat breeders sell them.¡±

    Astounded by what Zhao Yao had said, Xiao Shiyu¡¯s mood turned from excitement to disappointment as she muttered, ¡°Oh, this is such an expensive cat only the rich can afford. I guess I can only y with your cat then.¡±

    ¡°Oh yes, whats her name?¡±

    ¡°Elizabeth¡±

 Chapter 44: Dinner

    <h4>Chapter 44: Dinner</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Xiao Shiyu brought Zhao Yao to a small restaurant.

    At 6 pm in the evening, the restaurant seemed to have just opened for business. There were not many customers, but employees were still setting up more tables and chairs.

    Thedy boss greeted Xiao Shiyu passionately, showing evidently that they were familiar.

    Xiao Shiyu carried Elizabeth and found a seat together with Zhao Yao.

    On the way, the aesthetically pleasing Elizabeth, together with Xiao Shiyu, attracted the attention of numerous people. Elizabeth was rather indifferent to all that attention but urged Zhao Yao to eat quicker telepathically.

    Xiao Shiyu smiled, ¡°After thinking for so long, I just decided to bring you here to eat. This ce might not look very grand, but the food here is really good! They make food from my hometown, and it¡¯s one of the best here! The owners are an honest couple, so don¡¯t worry about the ingredients.¡±

    ¡°No problem.¡± Zhao Yao naturally did not have any objections, ¡°Not bad. Oh right, regarding Bai Quan...¡±

    ¡°Come to think of it, it really is weird.¡± Xiao Shiyu continued, ¡°In the early morning of yesterday, he was waiting for me at the office. I thought he wanted to cling onto me when I first saw him, but he bowed to me and said he wanted to apologize.¡±

    ¡°Oh, this is the case...¡± Zhao Yao smiled, ¡°Actually his personality is not bad, just slightly childish...¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll pick a few dishes first. Their ypot porridge, fried noodles, and sour vegetable fried rice are all especially delicious.¡±

    ¡°How¡¯s the new house? 5300 square feet to one person, it must feel great right?¡±

    The twoughed while having their meal. Although this restaurant seemed very normal, its food was indeed excellent. Their conversations were also more personal than before. They chatted about some interesting happenings back in university andughed about them together.

    People were like that. There might have been some awkwardness in the past in college, some embarrassing moments. But looking back after graduation, people will always find the experiences meaningful and interesting.

    Zhao Yao then asked something he was curious about, ¡°Xiao Shiyu, I remember your grades were not bad in college. You also interned at a bigpany, why then...¡±

    ¡°Bigpany...¡± Xiao Shiyu¡¯s gaze left for a moment, before continuing, ¡°A 9-5 internship in a bigpany with a gym and swimming pool. There were yearlypany retreats, and we enjoyed good food and also team building functions. There were even courses to improve our skills, I actually liked it a lot... But looking at the pay, I thought the money might have been too slow.¡±

    Xiao Shiyu smiled, and asked Zhao Yao, ¡°Am I too practical? But there¡¯s no choice, we¡¯re only thrown into the cruel reality of Jiangmen City after graduation. All the aspirations back in college about changing the world and bing a person of importance. Only when we started working did we understand how hard it actually was. Currently, I only want to purchase a house in Jiangmen City. Moneyes too slowly through ordinary jobs and skills. I felt that the most money could be earned through sales, that¡¯s why I changed profession.¡±

    Xiao Shiyu¡¯s words might seem casual but Zhao Yao could hear her bitterness in her words.

    Seeing Xiao Shiyu in front of him, Zhao Yao suddenly felt rather unsure of what to say.

    Xiao Shiyu just smiled and said, ¡°Sorry, for spoiling the mood.¡±

    After dinner, Zhao Yao sent Xiao Shiyu home. Walking on the road, a meow could suddenly be heard.

    Xiao Shiyu eximed and ran over and saw a group of stray cats. The litter of stray cats then ran towards her.

    Seeing Xiao Shiyu surrounded by the stray cats, Zhao Yao asked curiously, ¡°You feed them usually?¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t have cats at home, so I can only feed stray cats around the area.¡± She looked around the vicinity and continued, ¡°There¡¯s a small cat here who was knocked over by a car. I thought he was going to die, but he survived. Now, it¡¯s active and lively, as though it doesn¡¯t have a problem at all. The survivability of cats is indeed strong. Oh? He doesn¡¯t seem to be here today?¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Zhao Yao looked around and said, ¡°Maybe he went elsewhere.¡±

    In one of the rooftops of the small district, there was a girl who looked exactly like Xiao Shiyu. Her pupils were a shade of yellow, focused on Zhao Yao and Xiao Shiyu, thinking to herself. The small cat at her foot continuously gave off meows.

    ¡°Troublesome woman.¡± Saying this, her right finger, like a knife, sliced across her own arm. Arge wound appeared, and blood oozed out relentlessly at that moment.

    ¡°Everytime the skill canst for 24 hours, is this the limit?¡± Through the experiments these few days, she hade up with some theories behind the ability of the small cat. Seeing the bleeding wound, she used her ability and the wound closed up, ¡°In this case, I should have you lend me your ability every day. If it¡¯s like this...¡±

    The next moment, her expression changed slightly, and said rather painfully, ¡°I said to not kill recklessly.¡±

    On the other side, after sending Xiao Shiyu home, Zhao Yao drove around, searching for the strange supercat. Elizabeth asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, do you want to mate with that girl?¡±

    Zhao Yao was frozen for a moment before replying, ¡°You cats, are you all so direct in your words?¡±

    ¡°Yes or no.¡±

    ¡°Not to the extent of mating, we are just normal friends.¡± Zhao Yao said, looking at Elizabeth, ¡°And to hide your existence, I probably can¡¯t stay with other people for a long time.¡±

    ¡°Then good.¡± Elizabeth nodded her head and continued, ¡°This girl eats too much, I don¡¯t like her.¡±

    Zhao Yao then searched the web for weird findings, but there were no leads to any weird supercat.

    He went home, only to discover Bai Quan standing at his front door.

    ¡°This guy, does he want to attack me again?¡± Thinking that it was unlikely, Zhao Yao went up and asked him, ¡°Why are you here?¡±

    Seeing Zhao Yao in front of him, Bai Quan showed a face of joy, ¡°Mr. Zhao! Let me follow you.¡± He then gave a bow.

    Zhao Yao showed a look of annoyance, ¡°I don¡¯t need a subordinate.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll do anything. Maid, nanny, security guard, chauffeur. I¡¯ll do whatever you want me to do.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head speechlessly and went up the stairs. Bai Quan followed closely behind and said, ¡°Mr. Zhao, with such a noble presence, how can you do everything by yourself? I can fight underlings, hell...¡±

    <h4>Chapter 45: Faeces Disaster 2</h4>

    ¡°Hell...¡±

    Seeing Zhao Yao¡¯s nted gaze, Bai Quan immediately stopped talking. He gave a hinted nce at Zhao Yao, ¡°I understand, I understand. I won¡¯t leak information out.¡±

    Bai Quan followed Zhao Yao upstairs, ¡°Mr. Zhao, please believe me. I really want to follow you wholeheartedly! Give me a chance! I won¡¯t disappoint you!¡±

    Zhao Yao curled his lips and treated Bai Quan with indifference, opening the door back to his house.

    Once he opened the door, what caught his attention first was Matcha, who was sprawled over the floor with white foam at his mouth. His ws were on the sills of the door as if he was smacking the door before passing out.

    Mango was at the side tapping Matcha curiously, seemingly trying to find out why Matcha copsed.

    The next moment, a pungent smell overwhelmed the ce. Elizabeth, who was on Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulder, shrieked and ran to a safe passage. Zhao Yao held his breath and thought helplessly, ¡°Mango had diarrhoea again?¡±

    Just then, Bai Quan cried out in shock, ¡°So smelly! Did Mango have diarrhoea again?¡± The previous incident had given him asting impression.

    Zhao Yao instinctively turned around and focused his gaze on Bai Quan.

    ¡°Brother, have you cleaned faeces before?¡±

    Bai Quan¡¯s face turned pale and pitifully asked Zhao Yao, ¡°I¡¯ll go and get the cleaner?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s already sote, it¡¯s not nice to disturb the cleaner.¡± Saying this, Zhao Yao already had his arms around Bai Quan. He patted his shoulder and continued, ¡°You want to join hell? You¡¯re not even willing to clean faeces? Once you settle this today, you¡¯ll join hell and be one of our generals on Earth.¡±

    ¡°Clean clean clean, I¡¯ll clean.¡±

    On a cab in the living room, Roly Poly¡¯s nose was stuffed with two pieces of tissue paper. Looking at the scene in front of him, he could stand it no longer and thought, ¡°So scary.... This person and his cats, they¡¯re all evil. Bai Quan and I are stuck here.¡±

    The pungent smell was soon dispelled from the house with the thorough help of Bai Quan. Zhao Yao, with Mango in his arms, lied on the sofa. Seeing his naive and clueless expression, Zhao Yao could not help but ask, ¡°Why do you have diarrhoea everywhere all the time?¡±

    Matcha regained consciousness and said, ¡°No... This can¡¯t do. Mango is too terrifying. Zhao Yao, you have to assign a specific toilet for him alone, use the toilet which no one uses.¡±

    Elizabeth also walked over, with some fear in her eyes, ¡°I have never in my life smelled s*** as smelly as this.¡±

    Zhao Yao agreed and immediately went online to shop for a new toilet for Mango. He nned for Mango to have a toilet all to himself.

    This house had 5 rooms and 2mon areas. One room to Zhao Yao and Matcha, one to the 15 big stray cats, one to the 3 small stray cats, one to Elizabeth, and as for Roly Poly, he slept in themon area.

    Thest room now seemed like it was going to Mango and his diarrhoea.

    Zhao Yao looked at his phone and went online, only to chance upon a piece of

    ¡°There was a terrorist attack at America¡¯s wall street at 8.16 am that morning, causing 65 deaths and more than 300 injured. The police, as of now, is still exchanging fire with the suspected terrorists. Shangwu extremist organization has taken responsibility for this incident...¡±

    ¡°Surely not? Isn¡¯t this a terrorist attack? This sort of incident...¡± Zhao Yao had seen rted information online. In the moment, it seemed as if the entire world was discussing the same incident.

    ...

    Elsewhere, in a meeting room, Lin Chen sat on his chair with some uncertainty.

    Ever since he was punched by that man, Lin Chen had experienced a series of mysterious incidents.

    First, he was taken away by the bald man for interrogation and a series of weird tests.

    What he didn¡¯t know was that when he was going through the tests, his home information, his parents and even grandparents were investigated as well.

    And the result was...

    Lin Chen looked at the white female cat in his arms, which was about 5-6 months old. A look of annoyance shed in her eyes.

    ¡°We went through all that just for me to raise a cat?¡± Lin Chen curled his lips and thought of the scene in which the bald man handed the cat over to him. He couldn¡¯t help but think jokingly to himself, ¡°Such a tough guy on the outside, who knew he actually liked cats so much?¡±

    Just then, the doors of the meeting room opened. The bald man he was thinking of barged in and seeing the cat in Lin Chen¡¯s arms, he smiled, ¡°Hey, how are you? Getting along well with Milk?¡±

    Milk was the little white cat¡¯s name.

    Lin Chen pouted slightly and said, ¡°What exactly are you nning to do? Didn¡¯t you say you were going to find that guy? Why are you making me raise a cat now?¡±

    The bald man smiled and retrieved hisptop from his bag. He replied, ¡°Initially, the superiors wanted to withhold this information and deliver them more gently. However, now that that incident happened in America, many people have lost their sense of security. Some pertinent things, such as the economy and the society, could not be thought over so much. When things happen, we have to adapt ordingly.¡±

    As he finished, he shoved theptop in front of Milk and asked, ¡°Milk, what do you think of him?¡±

    Lin Chen asked curiously, ¡°Inspector Ho?¡±

    The next moment, something shocking happened right in front of him.

    Under his shocked gaze, Milk jumped out from Lin Chen¡¯s arms and sat in front of theptop. She then began typing key by key.

    ¡°Although this idiot isn¡¯t very smart, he treats me well. The important thing is that he can withstand my ability, he¡¯ll be the one for now.¡±

    Seeing the words appear on the screen, Inspector Ho smiled, ¡°As long as you¡¯re happy. It¡¯s not easy to find someone who can withstand the ability with a good physique and clean background, someone we can trust.¡±

    Lin Chen saw all of this unfold in front of him and pointed at the cat astonishingly, ¡°In... In in in inspector Ho, did you see that? This cat is typing, she¡¯s typing!!!¡±

    ¡°I see it, don¡¯t kick up such a fuss.¡± Inspector Ho said, ¡°Isn¡¯t it just a cat typing? After a supercat awakens, its intellect isparable to that of humans. They can interact with each other, but not with humans. They can only use written words tomunicate with us.¡±

    Lin Chen¡¯s mind was nk in this moment. He stared at Milk nkly, then both his eyes gave off an extremely perplexed gaze.

    Milk sighed and shook its tail, typing, ¡°Once we go back, remember to buy me some sand. I don¡¯t want to use newspapers to clean up, so dirty and smelly.¡±

    ¡°She, she, she, she, she!¡± Lin Chen continued, pointing at Milk.

    ¡°I know, typing right?¡± Inspector Ho said indifferently, ¡°Once supercats awaken, apart from the increased intellect, the most important thing is that they¡¯ll obtain a special ability. For example, moving very quickly, spitting fire, spitting water, telekinesis or even farts and other stuff.¡±

    ¡°Farts? Farting can be considered as a special ability?¡±

    ¡°If a fart can blow a car away, obviously it¡¯s considered as a special ability.¡±

    Lin Chen finally recovered from his initial shock of knowing the existence of supercats. He had an epiphany and immediately asked Inspector Ho, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me the person who attacked me ...¡±

    ¡°Superpower huh,¡± Inspector Ho continued, ¡°Supercats can lend their power to humans. In terms of physique and their dexterity, cats are stillgging behind humans. For example, humans will always have a heads up in operating guns, bombs, cars or even airnes.

    Hence, a human can use the power he borrowed from a cat more proficiently.

    The Americans who have borrowed the superpower from supercats are known as the Apostles. However, they can only borrow one power at any instance.¡±

    ¡°Americans?¡± Lin Chen asked, ¡°These supercats are created by the Americans?¡±

    ¡°No. Until now, nobody knows who created these supercats. However, we do know that this is a global phenomenon which is not exclusive to China. Consequently, countries have developed their respective ns to address this problem.¡±

    Lin Chen recalled reading a news article and asked, ¡°The incident at Wall Street...¡±

    ¡°A few Americans and the apostles are behind it,¡± Inspector Ho replied with no intention of hiding the truth from Lin Chen. This was possibly due to the security clearance that Lin Chen had obtained, and Inspector Ho had regarded him as an ally. ¡°The Americans are used to being the world¡¯s sole superpower. There is nothing they will not do to cats to retain their position as the hegemon.

    Arge number of supercats and apostles have been caught for experimentation. I¡¯m sure there will be an uproar soon.

    I heard that the target for the Wall Street incident was a high ranking executive. However, the executive had a gun with him, and he was quite good with his gun which resulted in the tragedy.¡±

    Lin Chen was listening as he nced at Milk and asked, ¡°How about us?¡±

    ¡°Our leaders are smarter than the Americans. The Americans are too straightforward in their approach. Unlike them, our leaders know how to get things done.¡± After his attempt at bootlicking, Inspector Ho continued, ¡°Currently, our country¡¯s n is guided by the principle of differential treatment.

    We would be extremely friendly and amodate to the majority of the apostle poption and supercats who were neutral. If need be, we could even take care of them without conditions.

    We would not bother the apostles if they used their power for petty crimes instead of arson or murder. We would rather have a friend than an enemy.

    However, there was one small group of supercats and apostles who want to destroy the peace and harmony that the human race and cats had enjoyed since time immemorial.

    Our higher-ups were extremely concerned about this group of people and cats. This was especially so after what had happened in America, and this had resulted in a demand for quick and firm action to be taken against them. You would be part of our next course of action.¡±

    ¡°B...Bu...But...¡± Lin Chen stammered, ¡°How about the rest of the citizens? Do we keep them in the dark?¡±

    Inspector Ho replied, ¡°Supercats are still a minority among all cats. Based on ourtest Intel, only cats that have not been sterilized can awaken their superpower.

    Thank goodness most of the cats have been sterilized. Most of the cats that have had their superpowers awakened are stray cats, and their number is minuscule. Hence, the public still does not know much about this. Most of the supercats rted incidents have beenbeled as supernatural happenings or just fake news.¡±

    Suddenly, Inspector Ho looked at Lin Chen and asked, ¡°Come, let¡¯s test your abilities.¡±

    Jiangmen city¡¯s threat level had gone up over the next few days. Even Zhao Yao noticed reports of skirmishes all over the news.

    However, Zhao Yao was clueless as to the cause of these incidents.

    Over the next few days, he upied himself with daily missions, refining his culinary skills, and honing his power. Every night, he would bring Elizabeth out for patrols. Both his BOOK and the cats¡¯ experience had increased. His ability to stop and control time had improved remarkably, with the margin of error dropping to below 0.3 seconds.

    However, he did not manage to meet new supercats, and he was unsure if it was due to the government¡¯s actions.

    At the same time, the police had found the cat that they wanted.

    ...

    At 9 pm, arge group of civilians was taken away by a mysterious force in a small suburb.

    The middle-aged man was at his dining table, with his head buried in chunks of meat as he devoured the food before him.

    Suddenly, a loud bang was heard, and the middle-aged man was sted away by an extraordinary force. Hey on the floor with blood streaming out from the wound on his chest.

    ¡°Sess.¡±

    ¡°Get the second team on standby.¡±

    ¡°Snipers, get ready.¡±

    A team of policemen d in bulletproof vests entered the building via the roof. They fired a few shots, smashed the windows and dashed into the room.

    At the same time, another group of armed police entered via the hole left behind by the security door that was blown apart by the explosion. They were armed with assault rifles and were extremely nimble in their movements.

    Meanwhile, both Inspector Ho and Lin Chen were in themanding vehicle watching as the scene unfolded. Lin Chen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the target lying on the floor, lifelessly. Lin Chen muttered, ¡°A 12.7mm armor-piercing bullet, even an elephant would be destroyed by it.¡±

    Inspector Ho cautioned Lin Chen, ¡°Do not let your guard down. The target is extremely brutal, and he can mutate his body...¡±

    Inspector Ho was cut off by a gut-wrenching screaming from the video footage.

    The cameras installed on the armed police started to shake vigorously and suddenly the body lying on the floor previously vanished.

    They noticed a shadow that was mutating in shape. It was followed by a human figure zooming past the cameras. Suddenly, the policemen looked as if they were attacked by an invisible force and fell onto the floor, motionless.

    It was followed by more gunshots and screams of despair which ended with an explosion and a sh.

    In a matter of a few minutes, they had lostmunication with every single police officer within the building.

    Inspector Ho stared at the footages solemnly when Lin Chen interjected, ¡°I¡¯ll go.¡±

    ¡°Wait,¡± Inspector Ho grabbed onto his shoulders andmanded, ¡°Teams 4, 5 and 6 maintain your firepower and get ready to infiltrate the building. Snipers lock onto the target and fire at will.¡±

    Inside the building, the middle-aged man was examining therge cavity on his chest. His bones and flesh were wriggling around to seal his wound. This was the power of regeneration.

    Even though his muscles and bones have been strengthened to their biological limits, the armor piercing bullet used by the police were still able to inflict a significant amount of damage on him.

    If not for his power of regeneration, he would have died in that instance. He was boiling with anger and fury at the thought of it.

    There was non-stop screaming, and gunshot soundsing from the building.

    The ck shadow was just like the devil from hell. It appeared out of the corner of your eyes and dragged the police officers into the abyss of darkness.

    During his rampage, the middle-aged man¡¯s pupil started to constrict, and a hint of yellow appeared across his eyes. He was furious and his hunger to kill was palpable.

    ¡°Yes, just like this...¡±

    ¡°All you people...¡±

    ¡°All of you deserve to die...¡±

    His nails started to grow extremely long, and his joints began to jut out. His palm was now as big as a dragon¡¯s w.

    His canine teeth started to stick out from the side of his mouth, and all his muscles were just growing bigger and stronger. It was as if he had transformed into a monster.

    Maybe he was a monster all along.

    It managed to awaken its superpower approximately two months ago.

    The first thing it did after awakening was to kill its owner.

    Since then, it had been wandering around Jiangmen city like a ghost. Its only purpose was to kill those who mistreated and tortured their cats.

    It obliterated those who tried to stop it.

    It serendipitously discovered another supercat which had the power of regeneration. It disguised itself as the humans who the supercat was close to and borrowed the supercat¡¯s power of extraordinary regeneration.

    After obtaining this superpower, it realized that it had the potential to be a lot stronger, stronger than anyone in this world.

    During its fight with the police officers, it was nervous yet excited. It was nervous because of its fear of the destructive power of their assault rifles. However, it was excited to destroy these weapons that humans were so confident in.

    Within a short span of a few minutes, it managed to destroy the first wave of police officers. To it, the entire process was a child¡¯s y.

    The weapons in the police officers¡¯ hands could injure it, but their reaction was too slow. Their movement was too slow. They were too weak.

    Once it started moving at his top speed, none of the police officers could track it ornd a shot at it.

    The human body was too fragile against its mighty ws. One light pinch by it could turn their bodies into minced meat.

    Its lips curled into a smile upon sighting the next wave of police officers. It was so excited to continue its next round of rampage.

    Its movement was as quick as lightning as it darted around the entire building in the blink of an eye.

    The sharp ws coupled with its monstrous arms allowed it to smash through walls and kill the police officers behind it quickly.

    Its muscr legs possessed explosive strength unparalleled in this world. It was able to dodge the rain of bullets as if it was teleporting and none of its enemies could take an aimed shot at it.

    The tinge of green across his eyes allowed it to see in the dark. It would hide in the corners and the shadows of the rooms and pounced on its enemies from their blind spots. It would return to the darkness after its attack, leaving the police officers frantically spraying around to no avail.

    It could feel the bullets prate its skin, but its muscles would stop them.

    With the aid of infra-red, the police officers managed tond a few shots on it using armor-piercing bullets. However, its extraordinary regeneration abilities allowed it to recover its strength soon after.

    The screams of devastation and the sounds of rapid gunfire were music to its ears as it was enjoying the massacre in front of it.

    Inspector Ho and Lin Chen were taken aback by the killer cat¡¯s strength. Its speed, power, and explosiveness had reached a level that we humans could not achieve. The trained police officers were unable to offer any types of resistance against it.

    Lin Chen shouted, ¡°We must leave. This is a suicide mission.¡±

    Inspector Ho was in agony as his face turned into a frown and a vein popped across his forehead.

    ¡°Let them retreat!¡± Lin Chen screamed, ¡°We need the army to deal with this monster!¡±

    Before Inspector Ho could give his nextmand, there was a drastic turn of events.

    ¡°It is gone!¡±

    ¡°Be careful; it might be hiding.¡±

    ¡°Check on every corner!¡±

    ¡°It is really gone!¡±

    The killer cat decided to leave before Inspector Ho could give his instructions for his police officers to retreat.

    ¡°Where did it go?¡±

    ¡°It escaped northwards!¡±

    Inspector Homanded, ¡°Do not let it escape!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll go,¡± Lin Chen said as he dashed out of themanding vehicle.

    Under the starry sky, the killer cat was leaping from the top of one building to another.

    It was bleeding from a small wound on its belly. Its muscles were slowly ejecting the bullet out from its body.

    It realized that it had lost its regenerative prowess from the previous skirmish.

    There was only one exnation for it.

    ¡°No doubt,¡± Killer cat said while its face turned gloomier than ever, ¡°Those who deserve to die must be killed.¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao was in his Panamera, driving along the streets under the night sky.

    He just went to a haunted school which he discovered on the inte.

    He managed to sneak into the haunted school using his power to manipte time. However, there were no traces of supercat, let alone signs of a killer cat.

    It was about time for him to end his patrol and he returned to his car.

    Elizabeth was standing on the co-driver seat, with half her body outside the window. She was staring at the traffic light with a worried look.

    Zhao Yao immediatelyforted Elizabeth and said, ¡°Do not worry. We will catch it as long as it is hiding out here.¡±

    Once they returned to their housing estate, Zhao Yao was ying with his phone while he locked his car.

    He saw a WeChat notification from Xiao Shi Yu.

    She sent two pictures of a kitten with orange spots.

    The cat in the first picture was drenched in blood, with its body contorted in unimaginable ways. It was as if the cat was knocked over by a car.

    The second picture was the same cat, but it was slightly bigger than before. There were no visible injuries on it. Its fur was white and smooth. It looked just like any other domestic cats.

    Xiao Shi Yu said, ¡°This is the cat that I mentioned the other time. I sent it to an animal hospital after it got knocked over by a car. Even the vet said that there was no chance of recovery. However, it managed to recover after I took care of it for awhile.¡±

    Zhao Yao stopped in his tracks when he saw the photos. He thought, ¡°This is supernatural no matter how I see it.¡±

    Elizabeth, who was resting on Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulder,mented, ¡°Even with a cat¡¯s vitality, it is impossible for it to recover after sustaining such injuries.¡±

    ¡°Superpower?¡± Zhao Yao gave it serious consideration before backtracking to his Panamera.

    ¡°If it¡¯s a supercat, it¡¯s better for me to take a look.¡±

    Zhao Yao drove towards Xiao Shi Yu¡¯s district in his Panamera. However, he knew something was amiss when he saw plenty of police cars zooming past him.

    ¡°Why are there so many police cars today?¡±

    ¡°I hope a fugitive did not just escape from prison.¡±

    Zhao Yao entered the district after parking his car.

    ¡°That cat seemed like a stray cat from this ce,¡± Zhao Yao thought as he patrolled the area. He found a few stray cats resting underneath cars but could not find the one in the picture Xiao Shi Yu sent him.

    ¡°This is not a good sign. This district is quite big. I will need quite some time to find that cat.¡± Zhao Yao and Elizabeth walked a few rounds around the area but to no avail.

    Elizabeth reminded Zhao Yao, ¡°Most stray cats are quite shy and afraid of strangers. It must have gone into hiding when it saw you. Doesn¡¯t Xiao Shi Yu stay here? It would be more efficient if we got her to help us in our search.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lighted up as he heard Elizabeth¡¯s suggestion, ¡°That¡¯s true. I should just give her a call.¡±

    Xiao Shi Yu was slightly shocked when Zhao Yao called her; she thought, ¡°Why is he calling me at this hour?¡± However, she still picked up the phone despite her initial reservations, ¡°Hi, is this Zhao Yao? What¡¯s up?¡±

    Zhao Yao exined that he required her help to find the cat. However, she could not understand why he chose this timing to find the cat. Still, she decided toe down and help.

    Zhao Yao waited for her at the lobby. Before long, she came down with a tank top, joggers and her hair in a mess. It seemed like she was just getting ready for bed.

    She was holding on to some cat food and asked Zhao Yao curiously, ¡°Why are you interested in finding this cat?¡±

    ¡°It is so pitiful. I want to adopt it and take care of it,¡± Zhao Yao continued, ¡°It is very dangerous for stray cats to live in the city. I want to bring it back home as soon as possible.¡±

    Xiao Shi Yu reluctantly epted his exnation and began helping him in his search.

    ¡°Meow, meow!¡±

    ¡°Meow, meow!¡±

    In just a few minutes, many stray cats in the district have gathered around Xiao Shi Yu. They were hungry for the cat food in her hand. However, the cat that Zhao Yao was looking for was still nowhere to be found.

    Xiao Shi Yu responded dejectedly, ¡°I just fed it a while ago; it must have gone somewhere to rest.¡±

    However, Zhao Yao was anxious to find the cat and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. Let¡¯s just try for ten more minutes. If we really can¡¯t find it, we will resume our search tomorrow.¡±

    ...

    On the other hand, Lin Chen was speeding along the streets in pursuit of a killer cat. He was so fast that it seemed like his shadows could not catch up with him.

    This was the power that Milk had given him ¨C extreme speed. Not only was his physical speed lightning-quick, his reflex and thought processing were far faster than ordinary humans. He could reach speed of up to 60 kilometers per hour when sprinting.

    Currently, he was on the heels of a killer cat.

    Inspector Ho was giving him instructions via his earpiece, ¡°Turn left at the next junction. From there, head towards the north-east direction and you should reach Chang Feng Hotel. Do you see it?¡±

    ¡°Our satellites have located the killer cat. However, if it enters any buildings or shopping centers, it would be very troublesome.¡±

    ¡°Catch it!¡±

    Lin Chen leaped andnded on his right foot with a loud thud. For a moment, his body was stationary. Then based on thew of action-reaction, he turned direction and soared towards the sky and started sprinting towards Chang Feng Hotel.

    With the help of Milk, Lin Chen had achieved a speed that ordinary humans cannot imagine. It was not merely an increase in muscr strength. To Lin Chen, he felt a change in time flow which allowed him to move at such an astounding speed.

    He was sprinting down the streets with his eyes fixed on the rooftop of Chang Feng Hotel. He could see a ck figure leaping over Chang Feng Hotel, towards the north.

    ¡°This guy...its movement, is it really possible biologically?¡± Lin Chen thought as he recalled killer cat¡¯s rampage in the building.

    ¡°Even if I cannot defeat this guy, I must at least restrain it. I cannot allow such a dangerous thing to be on the loose,¡± Lin Chen sped up with this thought at the back of his head.

    ...

    Meanwhile, the killer cat was jumping from one building to another at god-like speed. Every contraction and expansion of its muscles produced an immeasurable explosiveness.

    It was making a beeline towards Xiao Shi Yu¡¯s district.

    ¡°How dare it take back my power of regeneration?¡±

    ¡°The only logical exnation is that the cat saw Xiao Shi Yu and managed to see through my disguise,¡± Killer cat said so with an aura so vicious that it sent chills down your spine. It squinted its eyes and continued, ¡°Did that kitten¡¯s intelligence mature so quickly in such a short span of time?¡±

    ¡°It seems like it would be a smart move to get rid of that nosy woman.¡±

    With its Mystique-like ability to mutate and transformed its body into anything it desires, the killer cat was endowed with incredible strength and the power of self-healing.

    After its transformation, it was able to transcend the boundary between cat and humans. It was able to borrow power from other supercats.

    When itbined its innate superpower with rapid regeneration, the end product was an exponential growth in strength as proven by the previous fights.

    Even Inspector Ho and Lin Chen were shocked by the massacre that they witnessed. Killer cat¡¯s desire to possess the power of regeneration only grew after experiencing the potential it had.

    Finally, it had reached one of the ts in Xiao Shi Yu¡¯s district. It used itsrge paws to break a window. This dexterity was not something one would expect from such a massive and towering monster. Its movement resembled more like a cat than what it looked like at that point.

    When it reappeared, it had already transformed into an olddy wearing a simple T-shirt and pants. It looked towards the district ahead while it ambled along.

    ..

    Zhao Yao and Xiao Shi Yu still could not locate the cat. Xiao Shi Yumented, ¡°When I was feeding it just now, it seemed exceptionally happy and ate more than usual. I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t being out tonight.¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned and replied, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll try again tomorrow. Can you wait for me before feeding them tomorrow?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know why you¡¯re so anxious to find it,¡± Xiao Shi Yu said while looking at Zhao Yao, ¡°Let¡¯s split up and try onest time. It might have been frightened when it saw the both of youing along with me.¡±

    Zhao Yao turned his head towards Elizabeth who waszing on his shoulder and agreed with what she said. He nodded his head and replied, ¡°Yeah, let¡¯s walk one more round. We will rest for the day if we can¡¯t find it.¡±

    Simultaneously, Lin Chen had already reached the entrance to the district and heard the voice from his earpiece, ¡°Killer cat disappeared from our system after it got here. It must have used its power to disguise as another person.¡±

    ¡°Lin Chen, do not be rash and act alone. Just stay put and wait for our reinforcements. I have contacted the army. They are the only ones who can deal with this monster.¡±

    Seeing the district in front of him, Lin Chen retorted, ¡°There is no time to wait!¡±

    Who knew how much destruction the killer cat could bring about in this district?

    Lin Chen ignored themands from Inspector Ho as he dashed into the district alone.

    ¡°Where?¡±

    ¡°Where could it be hiding at?¡±

 Chapter 49: The Encounter

    Behind the shadows, killer cat saw Zhao Yao, and Xiao Shi Yu split into their separate routes with a glint in its eyes.

    ¡°That¡¯s good; it won¡¯t matter if I let this guy escape. He will just have to thank his lucky stars.¡±

    Killer cat began stalking Xiao Shi Yu in its olddy disguise.

    When it was just inches away from Xiao Shi Yu, she suddenly turned around as if she knew that it was behind her.

    It had a sly grin on its face as it got ready to pounce onto Xiao Shi Yu. However, at the exact moment, there was an explosion right next to it which sent it directly into the muddy fields.

    It immediately turned its head around to Lin Chen who was pointing his gun towards it. Lin Chen asserted, ¡°Do not move.¡±

    Xiao Shi Yu panicked from the gunshot and scrambled to escape from them.

    Killer cat stared at Lin Chen with a devious smile on its face and said, ¡°Police officer, how did you managed to recognize me?¡±

    However, Lin Chen did not reply. His entire body was in a heightened state of alertness as all his muscles were tensed up and his eyes fixed on his target.

    Actually, it was just a gamble on Lin Chen¡¯s part.

    It was unusual for an elderlydy to be strolling around the district at this hour. Even though it bothered to change into a new set of clothing, it was still wearing the same pair of tattered sports shoes from before. The most obvious thing which gave the killer cat away was the blood stains on the sole of its shoes.

    Thispletely matched the profile of killer cat which was engaged in a bloody massacre and must have worn out its shoes from its engagement with the police officers.

    These were the evidence which led Lin Chen to this deduction.

    Killer cat¡¯s response after Lin Chen¡¯s test shot only confirmed his hypothesis.

    After witnessing killer cat¡¯s rampage in the building, Lin Chen was not confident of bringing it down.

    He understood how strong one group of professionally trained police officers, who were armed with state-of-the-art equipment, were.

    Even when these police officers were inundated with gangsters or hooligans a few time their number, they could still easily ovee them.

    However, when this group of elite warriors was put up against the killer cat, they were annihted instantly.

    A 12.77mm armor piercing bullet could not take the killer cat down, let alone a pistol.

    Lin Chen knew that he stood no chance against this monster.

    The only thing that made him chose to fight against it was his sense of justice.

    The killer cat did not even consider Lin Chen as a threat. It merely nced at Lin Chen, stretched a little and turned its body towards Xiao Shi Yu. With a quick twitch of its muscle, killer cat propelled itself towards Xiao Shi Yu with a loud boom.

    Lin Chen pulled the trigger at the instant killer cat began its pursuit. However, the bullet ricocheted from its back and left a tiny scratch behind. The bullet could not prate its body as it was stopped by its muscle, which was as tough as marble.

    Even though it did not manage to inflict much damage on the killer cat, it still affected killer cat¡¯s strike as it missed its original target. Instead of piercing through Xiao Shi Yu¡¯s heart with its sharp ws, it only managed to hit Xiao Shi Yu¡¯s waist, but it was enough to send her flying off.

    With its monstrous strength and enormous ws, it managed to turn Xiao Shi Yu¡¯s waist into minced meat with a single swipe. Xiao Shi Yu was howling in pain as shey on the floor.

    Her organs had been damaged by killer cat¡¯s strike as she continued to bleed profusely. In an instant, the entire floor flooded with blood.

    Killer cat took a step towards her and got ready for its second strike. Simultaneously, Lin Chen threw away his pistol and dashed towards it.

    With his superpower awakened, it seemed like Lin Chen was faster than the killer cat. He pounced on it with his dagger, but it dodged the attack with a simple tilt of its body. However, the killer cat lost its chance tond its second strike on Xiao Shi Yu.

    ¡°Apostle!¡± Killer cat roared after seeing Lin Chen¡¯s power. It eyes seethed with anger as it shouted, ¡°Which traitor lend you its power!¡±

    ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll just have to kill you first before I proceed to her.¡±

    In the eyes of the killer cat, every human being was a potential enemy. Thus, any supercat which lent its power to a human would be a traitor in its eyes.

    It abhorred all these apostles and their supercats.

    With a loud boom, the killer cat began its transformation. It started off with increased blood flow in its body. Then, every single muscle in its body expanded at an unprecedented rate. Its limbs and fingers grew longer and thicker. ws emerged from beneath its skin. The clothes and shoes it was wearing were torn apart by the force of its expansion. Its fangs appeared from the corner of its lips.

    Instantly, it had transformed from a frail elderlydy to a monster towering over Lin Chen.

    ¡°It did not even use its full strength previously?¡± Lin Chen was astounded by the monster standing in front of him. Suddenly, its enormous paws came flying towards Lin Chen.

    ¡°Run!¡±

    Lin Chen could not fight against this monster heads on, leaving him with the sole option of escape.

    Hence, killer catmenced its pursuit of Lin Chen. Even though Lin Chen had the power of super speed, it could not get rid of the killer cat which was hot on his heels. Lin Chen was literally running away from death.

    It was always harder for a person to achieve his top speed when retreating from his enemies.

    Killer cat continued sending shes across Lin Chen¡¯s face with its sharp ws. Lin Chen could even feel the impact from the shes even though they did not manage to hit him.

    To an onlooker, it seemed like Lin Chen was in a dance with killer cat¡¯s ws. Lin Chen was fighting for his life as he dodged and retreated from the barrage of attacks.

    The killer cat was able to break the cement floor with every step it took. Lin Chen knew that he would be on the brink of death if the killer cat managed tond one strike on him.

    Suddenly, killer cat squatted down and sent its legs, which were as thick as steel column, towards Lin Chen.

    Lin Chen tried to dodge this attack. However, with a twitch of the muscle, its legs began to expand like a rubber band; it turned into a 2 meters long steel whip,shing towards Lin Chen.

    Even though the angr frequency at which Lin Chen kicked at was the same, but its lengthened legs increased the reach of its kick, which resulted in a speed which was 7 to 8 times faster than the original. It was impossible for Lin Chen who was retreating to dodge this kick.

    Even before the kick made an impact, Lin Chen already felt like he was suffocating from the force of the kick. It seemed like the air particles around them had all exploded simultaneously.

    Lin Chen could only use his arms to block this attack. He felt like he had been hit by a truck which was speeding down the highway. He was sent flying off with the sound of its bones cracking in both arms.

    After dealing a massive blow on Lin Chen, the killer cat did not continue with its pursuit. Instead, with a contraction and rxation of its muscles, the killer cat was instantaneously transported to where Xiao Shi Yu was. It rose up and sent its hammer-like foot directly onto Xiao Shi Yu¡¯s neck. Lin Chen boiled with anger as he saw killer cat tearing Xiao Shi Yu¡¯s neck apart before his very eyes.

    Xiao Shi Yu stopped breathing almost instantly after receiving two blows from the killer cat.

    However, no one seemed to have noticed that the flesh and bones of her body have started to regenerate on their own.

    Xiao Shi Yu¡¯s eyes began to lose focus as she went unconscious. The killer cat had an aplished grin on its face. It turned around to face Lin Chen who was struggling to stand but could only kneel on the floor. It asked Lin Chen with a tinge of sarcasm, ¡°Policeman, are you trying to save her? What a pity. It seems like she is already dead. You will also be dead in a few seconds, and you will never be able to save anyone.¡±

    Killer cat slowly sauntered towards Lin Chen, with the wicked smile on its face. It saw the fury in his eyes and said, ¡°Do you know that I love people like you who hate me to the core and yet cannot do anything against me.¡±

    Lin Chen yelled in anger and tried to stand on his feet. However, the killer cat immediately sent him flying off with a kick. Every single bone in his skeleton was sore, and it felt like he had been hit with a wrecking ball. He could not even stand.

    ¡°Hahaha,¡± Killer cat started smiling, ¡°You can continue to struggle, and I love to see the look of anguish on your face.¡±

    Lin Chen was furious at the killer cat, but he felt a sudden sense of despair.

    At that moment, a voice erupted in both their ears, ¡°Hey, are you the killer cat that has been causing havoc in Jiangmen city?¡±

    Killer cat turned around to see a shadow at the far end, beneath a tree. There was also an enormous cat resting on his shoulder. Their stares were so cold that it sent chills down killer cat¡¯s spine.

    Lin Chen spotted the shadow and shouted, ¡°Escape!¡±

    Killer cat said, ¡°I wanted to let you go today, why did youe back?¡±

    Zhao Yao replied coolly, ¡°You make me so mad.¡±

    The sounds of the wind interfered with their voices and made it difficult for one to decipher what they were saying.

    Immediately after Zhao Yaopleted his sentence, killer cat propelled his body forward like a bolt of lightning. It went straight for Zhao Yao¡¯s head with its outstretched ws and chilling look on his face.

    ¡°Stop!¡±

    Lin Chen closed his eyes in despair. Even though he could not see Zhao Yao¡¯s face, he knew that no ordinary human beings could fight against the killer cat.

    All he could do was open his mouth and let out a thunderous bellow.

 Chapter 50: The Bloody Battle

    <h4>Chapter 50: The Bloody Battle</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    The world stopped moving when the killer cat lunged at Zhao Yao with its de-like fingers and a ferocious look on its face.

    When Zhao Yao saw Xiao Shi Yu lying on the floor in a puddle of blood, he remained asposed as ever.

    He removed a mask from his pocket and froze time for 2 seconds. At the next instance, he hadunched a barrage of attacks on the killer cat.

    He made use of the extreme speed which ¡°Boiling Point¡¯ had endowed him with. Within 4 seconds, the movements of his punches had turned into afterimages as he continued his attack ceaselessly. He finally paused when time resumed as per normal.

    Hended a total of twenty-eight punches. He had used every ounce of energy in him in all the punches, and they were infused with ¡°Boiling Point¡±. Each was equivalent to a professional boxer¡¯s knockout punch, and it felt as if you were mmed by a hammer that weighed hundreds of pounds.

    When the impact of these punches exploded onto killer cat¡¯s face, it felt as if an enormous truck had crashed directly onto its face.

    In Lin Chen¡¯s field of vision, he saw that the killer cat suddenly paused in its movement. The man opposite killer cat seemed to have only waved his arm and an invisible force which came from nowhere sent killer cat flying off.

    When the killer cat stood up again, its head had already been deformed, and it was bleeding profusely. Its nose had sunken into its skull as if it was a pit

    ¡°Hello? Lin Chen!¡±

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°Tell us! What is happening right now?¡±

    Lin Chen was taken aback by this scene, and he could not react to the questions being thrown at him.

    This was the first time that killer cat had been subdued.

    Killer cat let out a thunderous howl as it stood there. Its eyes turned bloodshot instantly as it straightened its back. Its facial features were distorted, but it was getting ready for its counterattack.

    However, at the next moment, a ray of red light shed across Elizabeth¡¯s eyes. The killer cat realized that it could not move its body and could only stand there as it watched Zhao Yao walked towards it.

    Both the killer cat and Lin Chen were taken aback by what was happening. Then, Elizabeth let out a small meow which marked the start of the illusion.

    A pair of ming wings appeared on Zhao Yao¡¯s back and a huge door opened behind it. It opened to a sea of emptiness, and many spirits were emerging from it.

    ¡°This masked man! This guy! What kind of power is this,¡± Lin Chen stared at Zhao Yao with his mouth wide open.

    By that time, Zhao Yao had already reached the killer cat. Zhao Yao was encircled by the spirits floating around him as he said coolly, ¡°Do you see them? These are the spirits that you have sent to the afterworld, and they are here for you.¡±

    However, the killer cat did not reply. It just continued to stare at Zhao Yao. Zhao Yao could sense an intense anger emanating from those pair of eyes. The killer cat was thinking about how to escape from Elizabeth¡¯s power and was willing its muscle to move.

    Zhao Yao let out a smirk and used his time control abilities to continue his assault on the killer cat. At that moment, Elizabeth¡¯s power had been disrupted.

    In Lin Chen¡¯s eyes, the killer cat was hammered by an enormous invisible force when Zhao Yao lightly tapped it. Blood spurted out of its head as it flew twenty meters away andnded among the bushes.

    Before itnded in the bushes, the killer cat instantaneously leaped towards Zhao Yao with its monstrous ws, aiming straight for his head.

    However, before he managed to make contact with Zhao Yao¡¯s body, Zhao Yao had already disappeared into thin air.

    At the next moment, the killer cat was already restrained by the invisible force as it fell to the ground with a loud thud.

    Zhao Yao was ambling towards the killer cat. After numerous rounds of time maniption and an infinite number of punches on it, the killer cat looked as if a giant boulder had crushed it. It was lying motionlessly on the floor and bleeding profusely from every part of its body.

    Elizabeth could control and restrained her opponent. However, if the enemies suffered injuries when they were under Elizabeth¡¯s control, Elizabeth might be inflicted with those damages and lose control over its enemies.

    However, Matcha¡¯s ability of time maniption wouldplement Elizabeth¡¯s power seamlessly. Elizabeth¡¯s power would be disrupted when time was stopped using Matcha¡¯s power. When time resumed, Elizabeth would use her power again to control the enemy. The teamwork between Zhao Yao and Elizabeth had led to a perfectbination.

    In Lin Chen¡¯s eyes, the masked man was an adult bullying the killer cat which was like a defenseless child.

    The entire sky was enveloped by the spirits. Zhao Yao continued standing there with the ming wings on his back while the killing cat remained restrained by the invisible force. Every punch and kick by Zhao Yao seemed so light but yet dealt an enormous damage on the killing cat.

    Every time the killing cat tried tounch a counterattack, the invisible force would stop it and killer cat would fall to the ground.

    ¡°It¡¯s useless.¡±

    Bam! The killer cat¡¯s neck had been twisted 90 degrees as it was thrown against the floor. It was howling in pain as it tried tounch another counterattack on Zhao Yao in futile.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t this a familiar scene? It¡¯s just like how you kill and torture your victims.¡±

    The killer cat was once against sent flying off by Zhao Yao¡¯s punch, and it let out a loud road. It was enraged and leaped towards Zhao Yao again.

    Once again, it was stopped by the invisible force and fell to the ground.

    ¡°You were merciless against the victims who could not defend themselves, isn¡¯t it? It¡¯s exactly like you and me.¡±

    The killer cat was squatting on the floor, with its limbs distorted in a manner that could no longer be recognized. All the muscles in its body were contorting and mutating as they tried to heal its wounds.

    Instantly, Zhao Yao teleported in front of it. He lightly patted against the killer cat¡¯s chest. However, he had, in fact,nded a barrage of punches on the killer cat during his time maniption.

    A loud boom was heard as the killer cat was sent flying off like a cannonball into a giant tree nearby. It could no longer control any muscles in its body.

    It was impossible for it to survive such an onught after losing its power of regeneration.

    At that moment, the killer cat found the entire situation extremely absurd.

    It initially thought that Zhao Yao would just be an ordinary human being and he could be crushed like an ant. However, once both of them were engaged in the battle, it could not evennd a single punch on him.

    The confidence that the killer cat had gained after annihting the elite police officers vanished instantly.

    The killer cat could not wrap its head around what was happening.

    ¡°This guy... how was he so strong and so powerful?¡±

    ¡°I ... cannot defeat it? I cannot evennd a punch on him?¡±

    Killer cat realized that it could not defeat Zhao Yao half a minute into the battle. It was not even a close fight, and the killer cat would have lost even if it was in its best state. It was a one-sided affair, and the killer cat was blown away by Zhao Yao.

    The killer cat was furious for not being able tond even a single punch on Zhao Yao.

    At that moment, the killer cat was fighting not to win the battle but to vent its anger. It already knew that it had lost the fight to Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Lin Chen, what exactly is happening?¡±

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°Where is the killer cat?¡±

    Lin Chen finally replied after being bombarded by all the questions, ¡°Killer cat has been suppressed.¡±

    ¡°It seems like...it seems like it is going to be defeated.¡±

 Chapter 51: The End

    <h4>Chapter 51: The End</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    The killer cat was on the verge of death.

    Even though its body could mutate and transform itself, but there was a limit to it. Each transformation required a vast amount of energy to mutate the muscles and bone structure. Even though it possessed self-recovery, it was not as powerful as regeneration.

    If the killer cat possessed the power of regeneration during the fight, it would be able to transform itself without any side effects, and it would be at least ten times stronger than what it was now.

    However, there was no ¡®if¡¯ in reality. The killer cat was getting destroyed by the masked man, and it was an undisputable fact.

    The killer cat was shielding its head with its arms as it stood there while Zhao Yao continued his attack. It had almost lost its consciousness and was only standing there based on pure willpower. Lin Chen rushed towards Zhao Yao and shouted, ¡°Stop it! If you continue attacking it, it will die!¡±

    Zhao Yao turned around and replied, ¡°It had already killed so many people. Doesn¡¯t it deserve to die too?¡±

    Most of the time, a human¡¯s courage was proportional to his strength, status, and experience.

    If this happened a few months ago and Zhao Yao was in the same situation, he would not have acted in this manner.

    It had been a few months since Zhao Yao had received the power to freeze and manipte time, and he felt that societal norms no longer restricted his actions.

    Thews in society were only effective in controlling people¡¯s action under normal circumstances.

    However, the apostles who had received superpower were able to transcend these boundaries, and arbitraryws no longer controlled their actions.

    It was like how gambling rules were rendered irrelevant when faced with the power of time maniption. Simrly, it was like how facial recognition was rendered irrelevant when identifying the killer cat.

    When faced with Zhao Yao, who possessed thebined power of Match and Elizabeth, thews of society could not control or govern him. The only thing that could do so was his moral principles.

    Lin Chen replied to Zhao Yao, ¡°Only the judge can sentence it to death. If you kill it today, you will be a murderer. Then, what¡¯s the difference between you and the killer cat?!¡±

    Zhao Yao gave him a cold stare and replied, ¡°R*tard.¡±

    As they were speaking, Zhao Yao stopped time again as he retrieved the foldable knife from his pocket.

    When he decided to go for a patrol today, his purpose was to catch the killer cat. Hence, it was only natural for him to have the foldable knife in his pocket and now was time for him to end its life.

    Lin Chen saw Zhao Yao waved his hand a few times and the killer cat was massacred with countless punctures in its body. Suddenly, a lot of blood gushed out of its body as it fell to the floor.

    ¡°It¡¯s over,¡± Zhao Yao said calmly as he inspected the killer cat¡¯s body.

    At the next moment, Zhao Yao saw its body turned into an infinite number of starlight as it floated in the air.

    ¡°This is...¡± Zhao Yao looked at it warily as he was afraid that it was using another of its power.

    As the body vanished into thin air and flesh and blood of the killer cat disappeared before their eyes, a kitten¡¯s body appeared.

    The kitten was curled up, and the main difference between it and other kittens was the countless scars on its body.

    Its tail was broken; its back was deformed. There were also visible burnt marks on its chin and front legs. It also had a pair of ck eyes which had never seen the light.

    These were the product of the torture that the killer cat had experienced before it awakened its superpower.

    This was its true form. All the other forms, be it the different humans or the monster were just armor that it had conjured using its power.

    Its true body had gone through too much muttion that it could not even recover with the power of regeneration.

    It seemed like the killer cat could sense what was happening as it opened its mouth. Unlike the voice in its monster form, its original voice was crisp and clear.

    It said, ¡°Humans, between the both of us ... there can never be true peace; my death is only the beginning.¡±

    ¡°Kill me... Just kill me.¡±

    ¡°Only one of us can be alive. If not, constant fighting ensues...¡±

    Bam! As it was speaking halfway, an explosion urred, and the remains of its body had all turned into starlight. Its body had disappeared entirely. Until now, Zhao Yao still did not know its name.

    Zhao Yao was staring at the starlight when he started to frown. Nobody knew what he was thinking.

    Elizabeth seemed slightly sad and lost as she saw the body disappeared before her. She looked towards Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Thank you. We have exacted revenge for granny. However, why am I not happy at all?¡±

    ¡°Hmm,¡± Zhao Yao muttered as he was thinking about the killer cat¡¯sst words.

    Elizabeth¡¯s ears started to twitch as she looked towards the northern sky. She immediately walked towards Zhao Yao and rubbed her furry body against his legs and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, we should be leaving.¡±

    Sounds of propeller rotating wereing from afar. If you gazed upon the northern night sky, you would have seen a group of helicopter flying towards them. They were the military reinforcements.

    Lin Chen was stunned by what he saw. In the meantime, Zhao Yao had activated his power to stop time and had disappeared from the scene. All that was left were the aftermath of the battle, a heavily injured Lin Chen and ...

    ¡°Hmmm,¡± Xiao Shi Yu was in a daze when she stood up. Her body had already recovered from her previous injuries.

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    ...

    Members of the town council were busy with the restoration works for the subsequent days. The official exnation by the government for the incident was an explosion in the gas pipeline.

    However, there were all sorts of rumors and spections among the public. Some imed that they saw monsters fighting while others said that it was the work of terrorists.

    However, the majority of the residents failed to notice one thing: the girl who used to go around feeding the stray cats in the district had disappeared.

    Zhao Yao also spent a lot of time locating the supercat which had the power of regeneration. However, he was unsessful. It was as if it had disappeared and was nowhere to be found.

    ...

    A few weekster, Zhao Yao was in a shopping center¡¯s toilet and was scrolling through his WeChat groups.

    As he was scrolling through, he noticed Matcha had posted one set of Sun Wu Kong¡¯s game skins from Mobile Legends and left ament, ¡°Quickly leave a like.¡±

    A fewments followed it.

    Elizabethmented, ¡°The skins look rather cheap.¡±

    Chubby Luban Assassinmented, ¡°Trash skins. If you have the guts, let¡¯s have another one on one.¡±

    Roly Polymented with a crying emoji.

    The WeChat group had been active as ofte, and a few new members were added to the group.

    Zhao Yao thought as he left hisment at the bottom, ¡°Aren¡¯t you supposed to be on guard duty? Why are you ying Mobile Legends?¡± He ended thement with an angry emoji.

 Chapter 52: The Shopping Mall

    <h4>Chapter 52: The Shopping Mall</h4>

    Zhao Yao decided toe to this shopping mall tonight because of some news he saw on the inte. The rumor said that many items had been stolen; some even disappeared right in front of the shop attendant¡¯s eyes. The public had regarded it as a supernatural event.

    However, Zhao Yao knew that a supercat was behind all of it and he wanted to find it.

    He was hiding in the toilet while he waited for the shopping mall to close for the day.

    Initially, he sent Matcha out to check on the situation, but it seemed like he was busy ying Mobile Legends and even bought new game skins.

    The thing which irked Zhao Yao the most was the fact that Matcha even bought game skins when he was supposed to help check on the situation in the mall.

    Zhao Yao left a message on the WeChat group, ¡°Where did you get the money to buy your game skins? Did you steal the money from my Alipay ount?¡±

    Matcha did not bother to reply Zhao Yao, and this infuriated him. He decided to leave the toilet and teach Matcha a lesson.

    ...

    Zhao Yao was hiding in the bathroom while waiting for the shopping mall to close. Meanwhile, Matcha was busy ying with his phone on a massage chair on the fifth level of the shopping mall.

    The fur on his skin was as radiant as ever, and he looked like he had put on some weight since thest time. It was definitely because of his luxurious lifestyle and hiszy habits.

    Beside the phone in his paws, he also had a tiny green-colored haversack. Zhao Yao only gave in to his request for that bag after he pleaded umpteen times.

    The only benefit for giving Matcha a bag was to allow him to keep his phone inside it. In doing so, he could bring his phone out wherever he went. This had made bringing Match out for missions a much more straightforward task for Zhao Yao. If not, he would just stay at home and refused to take a step out.

    At that moment, Matcha was lyingfortably on the massage chair while ying Mobile Legends; he did not notice the notification from his WeChat group.

    Matcha was using Sun Wu Kong in the game and managed to defeat the opponent¡¯s Luban with three strikes. It chuckled and said, ¡°Hahaha, I¡¯ve finally found the hero that suits me the most! This is the hero that I¡¯ve always meant to use!¡±

    The massage chair started to work on Matcha¡¯s body as it gently massaged his neck. Matcha closed his eyes to enjoy the massage as he mumbled, ¡°This massage is so much better than the ones from Zhao Yao and Mango. I should get Zhao Yao to buy me a massage chair when I get home.¡±

    Suddenly, a woman¡¯s scream echoed throughout the shopping mall as she saw Matcha lyingfortably on the massage chair while using his phone. She immediately fished out her phone to live stream the incident while she pointed her finger at Matcha in shock.

    ¡°Everyone! Do you see it? A cat! A cat is ying with a phone!¡±

    However, when Jin Jia Jia turned her head to look at the massage chair again, the fat andzy cat had disappeared.

    She looked at her phone¡¯s camera and continued, ¡°Everyone! Did you see it? There really was a LiHua cat here just now, but it suddenly disappeared. There is something supernatural going on here, and we are here to find out.¡±

    She turned around to the Fu Er Dai at her side and asked, ¡°Xiao Ming, did you see it? There is something wrong with this shopping mall! How can such a fat cat just disappear like that and it was ying with its phone. I saw it ying with its phone.¡±

    In another corner of the shopping mall, Matcha had just ced his phone into his bag while he walked into the darkness, with his butt swinging from left to right. After hearing Jin Jia Jia¡¯sments about him, Matcha grumbled, ¡°Tsk, don¡¯t you know that all LiHua cats are this fat? I¡¯m already considered skinny for my species.¡±

    The people who saw Matcha were Jin Jia Jia, a broadcaster on a streaming site, and Xiao Ming, a Fuerdai. They came here to investigate the reason behind the supernatural events that had urred.

    After the previous vi expedition, Jin Jia Jia had participated in multiple supernatural adventures and lived streamed it to her viewers.

    News regarding supercats had received more attention recently. Consequently, supernatural happenings had be the hot topic. With her pretty face and her nerve-racking live streams of these events, Jin Jia Jia¡¯s poprity had slowly been on the rise. Her average viewership was as high as one hundred thousand viewers per video.

    Matcha¡¯s sudden appearance and disappearance had created a furor on her live streaming site. Netizens left a barrage ofments regarding their spections for what happened.

    Xiao Ming¡¯s face suddenly turned pale as he replied Jin Jia Jia, ¡°You¡¯re right, I also saw the cat.¡±

    Since hest saw Zhao Yao used his superpower to get rid of the ghosts, Xiao Ming had been intrigued by everything supernatural-rted. He had tagged along Jin Jia Jia in most of her supernatural expeditions.

    Even though he was not as courageous as Jin Jia Jia, his financial support had helped her live streaming career significantly.

    This shopping mall actually belonged to Xiao Ming¡¯s family, and they were only allowed entry into it after operating hours because of Xiao Ming¡¯s connections.

    Jin Jia Jia looked at the camera and said sternly, ¡°Dear friends and viewers, we have a devil cat in this shopping mall. Both Xiao Ming and I will look around and see if we can find it.¡±

    Before searching for long, they heard footstepsing from afar.

    The sound of the leather shoes hitting the floor was amplified by therge and dark shopping mall. Both Jin Jia Jia and Xiao Ming looked at each other and immediately went into hiding behind a counter.

    ¡°What is happening? I¡¯ve already told the security guards to stop patrol for the night.¡±

    Jin Jia Jia stared with excitement as she said, ¡°Could it be? Could it be the thing that we¡¯ve been waiting for?¡±

    Xiao Ming¡¯s face turned pale, and his entire forehead was drenched in cold sweat. His behavior was like a child watching a horror movie. Even though he was eager to explore the supernatural elements, yet would piss his pants when encountered with the actual thing.

    When he saw the excited look on Jin Jia Jia face, he could not help but said, ¡°Can you stop acting all excited and thrilled?¡± He took out his phone, got ready the number 110 and continued, ¡°If anything happens, I¡¯ll call the police immediately.¡±

    ¡°Why are you so scared?¡± Jin Jia Jia asked scornfully, ¡°Let me see who it is.¡± As she was speaking, she slowly stood up with the camera above her head.

    ¡°Everyone, let¡¯s take a look at who¡¯s here.¡±

    Jin Jia Jia carefully inched towards the top of the counter to take a look. Meanwhile, Xiao Ming was frantically holding onto the edge of her shirt, praying that the person did not spot them.

    All of a sudden, the footsteps stopped, and the shopping mall was enveloped in silence.

    The suffocating silence turned Xiao Ming¡¯s face paler than ever. He tried to swallow his saliva to soothe his nerves as he tightened his grip on Jin Jia Jia ¡®s shirt.

    The streaming site was bombarded with messages.

    ¡°I saw a girl in red dress.¡±

    ¡°Jia Jia, someone is sitting on your shoulder.¡±

    ¡°Jia Jia, you¡¯re getting prettier by the day.¡±

    Jin Jia Jia could not be bothered by thements as she scanned her surroundings in search of the source of the footsteps.

    Suddenly, a voice erupted from behind them.

    ¡°Why is it the two of you again?¡±

    Xiao Ming¡¯s expression suddenly changed when he heard the voice from the back of his head. He screamed in fear as he tried to escape from that person.

    However before he managed to move, he was stopped by the person behind him.

    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, it¡¯s me, what are you so afraid of?¡±

    Jin Jia Jia turned around to see Zhao Yao with an annoyed look on his face.

    Zhao Yao was equally shocked by this situation. In reality, he walked towards the both of them when the time froze which gave Xiao Ming such a big scare. However, Zhao Yao did not use his power at all, which meant that something happened to Matcha which triggered the power.

    He thought, ¡°How troublesome. It seems like it would be better if Matcha and I worked together for our future missions. If either of us went solo, our shared power might interfere and affect the other party.¡±

    Jin Jia Jia tilted her camera towards Zhao Yao and eximed excitedly, ¡°Master, it¡¯s you! Did youe here to catch the devil cat too?¡±

    Meanwhile, the live streaming site was flooded withments again.

    ¡°Xiao Ming, you¡¯re a joke.¡±

    ¡°Two hundred thousand people saw you bawling like a kid.¡±

    ¡°Herees the actor.¡±

    Xiao Ming gave an awkward smile as he asked Zhao Yao, ¡°Master since you are here, does it mean that something is wrong with this ce?¡±

    Zhao Yao blinked and replied, ¡°Hmm, there seems to be a small problem. You mentioned devil cat?¡±

    Hence, Jin Jia Jia exined what she saw just now, ¡°... within the blink of an eye, the LiHua cat had disappeared. It vanished into thin air. Isn¡¯t that the devil cat that you are trying to catch?¡±

    After hearing Jia Jia¡¯s description, Zhao Yao knew that she was referring to Matcha and said, ¡°Yeah, I think I¡¯m looking for that cat.¡±

    Xiao Ming was in awe of Zhao Yao, and he requested, ¡°Master, please let me help you. I¡¯m quite familiar with this ce.¡±

    Jia Jia added, ¡°This mall belongs to Xiao Ming¡¯s family. This is his childhood yground.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s expression immediately changed after hearing those words.

    ¡°The previous vi must have cost at least one to two hundred million RMB. This mall is situated within the central district which means that it cost at least a few billion RMB.¡± Zhao Yao stared at Xiao Ming in astonishment.

    ¡°What the f*ck! Why do I feel like his entire body is coated in gold?¡±

    ¡°He is the real tycoon. Will he give me a pile of cash, worship me and even appoint me as an elder or something? He might even build a house for me. The previous vi seemed prettyfortable.¡±

    After his daydream, Zhao Yao continued, ¡°Alright, you guys can tag along. I¡¯ll take care of you.¡±

    Xiao Ming nodded his head excitedly. All this while, Xiao Ming¡¯s decision to participate in this supernatural adventure was because he wanted to learn some magic and spells from a master but not to find spirits and ghosts.

    Hence, the three of themmenced their patrol, in search of the supercat.

    ...

    Meanwhile, Matcha was running around the entire mall after he got rid of Jia Jia. Finally, he decided to take a break on a sofa.

    He rolled around the sofa before he stopped to groom himself using his white paws. He then fished out his phone from his bag.

    ¡°Hmm, let¡¯s see how many of my friends left a like.¡±

    He was scrolling through his WeChat messages when he chanced upon Zhao Yao¡¯s message. His body froze, and there were chills down his spine.

    ¡°F*ck. Didn¡¯t I already block Zhao Yao on WeChat?¡± Match scratched his head and grumbled, ¡°I¡¯m finished. Once he finds me, he¡¯ll ask me where the source of my money is, and he will discover my stash of cash is with Roly Poly, and he will take all my money away from me.¡±

    ¡°How? What am I supposed to do?¡±

    Matcha was deep in thought as he regretted not blocking Zhao Yao on WeChat.

    ¡°No, calm down. Matcha, you have to calm down.¡±

    He began to lie down and licked the fur on his legs.

    Grooming themselves was an incredibly rxing and enjoyable activity for cats. Doing so allowed Matcha topose himself and think logically.

    After rounds of frantic licking, Matcha was finally calm.

    ¡°Let me think...Hmm, I can just say that someone gave it to me.¡±

    ¡°However, I must seal Roly Poly¡¯s mouth. I guess I¡¯ll just buy him some KFC chicken,¡± Matcha shook his head and continued, ¡°No, KFC is too expensive. I remember there was another fast food chain called OFC. The chickened seem simr, but it¡¯s way cheaper than KFC.¡±

    While he was contemting what to bribe Roly Poly with, he suddenly noticed something different in front of him, ¡°I remember there was a dustbin right here.¡±

    He blinked his eyes and turned his head around and stared at another patch of emptiness, ¡°Hmm, there was a counter here.¡±

    Suddenly, Matcha fell to the floor with a loud thump as the sofa he was resting on disappeared.

    ¡°F*ck, who is it?¡± Matcha turned around to see both his bag and phone had been taken away.

    ¡°F*CK!¡± Matcha stood up with all his fur standing on end. He had a vicious look on his face as he continued, ¡°I don¡¯t care who you are, but you have picked the wrong cat to mess with.¡±

    At the next moment, Matcha activated his power as a potted nt in front of him disappeared.

    After freezing time, Matcha dashed towards the spot where the potted nt stood. He scanned the surrounding and spotted a small figure hiding behind a pir.

    However, Matcha spent too much time locating his enemy and time had resumed before he was able to capture it. The small figure had already run away.

    ¡°Stop running,¡± Matcha shouted as he chased after the small figure, ¡°Whoever who runs is a dog.¡±

    However, the small figure did not seem to understand Matcha¡¯s words as it burrowed its way into a clothing store.

    If it were Zhao Yao giving chase, he would have lost track of the small figure because of all the obstacles in his way.

    Even though Matcha was fatter than before, he still maintained his original agility and was able to keep up with the small figure. Matcha activated his power again after 6 seconds.

    ¡°As if I¡¯ll let you escape.¡±

    One small body was lying underneath a bunch of hangers as Matcha stopped time again.

    Matcha finally had a good look at the cat¡¯s face.

    It was a tiny ck kitten which was as big as a human¡¯s palm. From the looks of it, it was only 2 or 3 months old. Because of its ck fur, Matcha could only differentiate its eyes from its shadow.

    ¡°Wadawadawadawadawadawada!¡±

    During the time freeze, Matcha vented all his frustration on the kitten as hended multiple ps across its face. When time resumed, the little kitten was howling in pain as it fell to the ground.

    ¡°You loser! Do you still want to fight against me?¡± Matcha asked with his paws pressing against the kitten¡¯s face, ¡°Where is my phone? Return it to me!¡±

    His rage and fury erupted as the little kitten opened its eyes.

    ¡°Meow!¡±

    It opened its mouth and let out a loud meow. The cement floor which they stood on started to disappear. However, if you took a closer look, you would have noticed that the floor had turned into rows and rows of thin curved lines as they went straight into the kitten¡¯s mouth.

    The supercat standing right in front of Matcha had a unique and strong ability. Its mouth was like a portal to a new space-time dimension. It could absorb any matter into it.

    Matcha was taken aback by its power as he witnessed the kitten absorbed the concrete floor into its mouth. Matcha immediately asked, ¡°D*mn it, don¡¯t tell me you can¡¯t retrieve the things which you have eaten? What will happen to my phone?¡±

    Matcha grabbed onto the kitten as he continued shouting, ¡°Return me my phone!¡±

    However, the kitten did not seem interested inmunicating with Matcha. It just widened its mouth and started absorbing the surrounding matter with an even stronger force. It looked like it was capable of absorbing all non-living matter in the world.

    Layers andyers of floor started disappearing. They did not disintegrate nor shatter but just went straight into the kitten¡¯s mouth.

    Stemming from its inability to absorb living matter, Matcha continued grabbing onto its body. Both cats were engaged in a fist fight as kicks followed punches. Matcha kicked the kitten¡¯s stomach while the kitten retaliated with a punch to Matcha¡¯s face.

    Bim! Bam! Boom!

    As both cats were busy with their fight, the little kitten continued to use its power asrger and heavier matter got sucked directly into its mouth.

    After absorbing the flooring, pirs, cement and even the steel columns, the entire building started to shake a little. Everything began to fall to the ground, and the whole ce was inplete chaos.

    During their fight, both cats tumbled and rolled down the staircase.

    In the midst of their fall, a pair of hands grabbed onto their necks, with one cat in each hand.

    ¡°It seems like we have a good catch today ¨C 2 supercats,¡± The man said with both Matcha and the kitten in his hands and had a smile on his face. He sported a buzz cut and looked extremely muscr. He was either a bodybuilder or a wrestler.

    He was grinning from ear to ear as he saw how both Matcha and the kitten were trying to escape from his clutches.

    All this while, he had been observing their fight and was waiting for the right moment to strike.

    He thought, ¡°One has the power to suck everything into another dimension while the other has the power to teleport. I¡¯m so lucky. Both have such strong power.¡±

    Both Matcha and the kitten continued with their retaliation. The kitten opened its mouth and activated its power. The flooring underneath the man¡¯s feet was absorbed along with the man¡¯s clothes, phone, wallet, and all other non-living matter.

    ¡°D*mn it,¡± The man roared as he activated his superpower. His entire body turned reflective as he was coated with metal. His muscr body coupled with his metal exterior bore an uncanny resemnce to C3PO from Star Wars.

    This is the power of the apostle ¨C Metal Skin.

    This power not only saved him from further embarrassment, but it also provided him with armor against Matcha¡¯s retaliation.

    Matcha froze time again, but it remained firmly wedged between the man¡¯s arms. Matcha tried to attack the apostle with its ws, but it was futile.

    After absorbing almost all the flooring, the kitten finally deactivated its power.

    The kitten burped as it stared furiously at the metal man who was holding on to it.

    The man let out a sigh of relief and said, ¡°It finally ended? Such powers do have their limits.¡±

    The man jumped out of the pit which they were in as he surveyed the destruction which the kitten had inflicted onto the shopping mall. He said excitedly, ¡°What a strong power! Such a shame that it does not work against living matter. However, if it does work against living matter, doesn¡¯t it make you invincible?¡±

    The man turned his head and looked at Matcha, ¡°Hmm? Why didn¡¯t you activate your power of teleportation? Don¡¯t tell me you cannot teleport once you¡¯re restrained?¡±

    The man carried both the cats in his arms as he walked towards the exit delightedly.

    ¡°Haha, one has the power to teleport while the other can suck everything into another dimension. Boss will be so happy to have these cats.¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, the trio had heard the explosions, and a felt a slight tremor on the ground as they raced towards the source of the destruction.

    ¡°What happened?¡± Jin Jia Jia shouted.

    ¡°Is it another earthquake¡± Xiao Ming replied as he remained as clueless as ever.

    However, Zhao Yao already had an inkling of what happened. His hypothesis was confirmed when time froze again.

    ¡°Matcha is fighting with someone.¡±

    ¡°Is it the cat which we are looking for?¡±

    Zhao Yao turned around and replied, ¡°I¡¯ll be going over first. Do take care of yourself and do note too close to me.¡±

    As he spoke, he suddenly disappeared and reappeared in a far corner of the shopping mall. He disappeared from their vision as he turned the corner.

    Xiao Ming eximed in excitement, ¡°So fast!¡±

    Jia Jia was awe-struck as shemented, ¡°Damn, is that a sh jump?¡±

    She immediately spoke to the viewers on her live streaming site, ¡°Guys, did you see it? Master pulled off a sh jump as he covered one hundred meters in less than a second.¡±

    However, she noticed that she had used the wrong camera to film it.

    ¡°Damn, I didn¡¯t get it on tape? Oh my God!¡±

    A new flood ofments appeared on her live streaming site, and most of her viewers voiced their disbelief.

    Jia Jia was furious and retaliated, ¡°If I¡¯m lying, I¡¯ll eat my sanitary pad.¡±

    ¡°D*mn it,¡± Jia Jia mumbled as she adjusted her camera towards the direction which Zhao Yao was running towards, ¡°Faster, faster! I must get this on camera.¡±

    The metalman continued to walk towards the exit as he watched the two cats struggling to escape from his arms. He said, ¡°Alright, I know you can understand me. So just stop struggling because it¡¯s useless.¡±

    ¡°Furthermore, I¡¯m not going to kill you or do anything bad to you. I¡¯m just going to bring you to my friend. It will be a safer and morefortable environment to be in.¡±

    The metalman shook his head as both cats continued their relentless struggle. He continued, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, I¡¯ll give you guys canned food when we get back...¡±

    Suddenly, metalman¡¯s vision turned blurry, and both cats had disappeared from his arms in a split second.

    ¡°Hmm?¡± Metalman heightened his alertness as he looked around for them. He immediately spotted Zhao Yao at the corner of the shopping mall. Zhao Yao took out the man hemp from his waist and started to tie the kitten to restrain its movement. Matcha stood beside Zhao Yao with a smug on his face and shouted, ¡°Hey big guy! Herees my battle pet, you¡¯re dead!¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao, attack him, just m your body against his.¡±

    Metalman could not understand Matcha¡¯s words as he did not possess the BOOK which Zhao Yao had.

    He just stared at Zhao Yao with a look of suspicion. This time, Zhao Yao had already covered his face using his mask, making him an even more suspicious character in metalman¡¯s eyes.

    The kitten which was restrained by Zhao Yao¡¯s man hemp started to meow too. It stared at Zhao Yao indignantly, and a fierce female voice erupted in Zhao Yao¡¯s head, ¡°A*shole, let me go!¡±

    ¡°Hmm,¡± Zhao Yao took a nce at the kitten and thought, ¡°Another female cat?¡±

    The kitten was shocked to hear Zhao Yao¡¯s voice in her head and replied, ¡°You! You can understand what I¡¯m saying?¡±

    Zhao Yao sniggered and replied, ¡°Take a break first. I will exin everything to you once I¡¯ve taken care of this bloke.¡± Zhao Yao ced the kitten on his back as he spoke to her.

    Metalman demanded, ¡°Hmmm...are you the apostle to the LiHua cat? You used the power of teleportation to take away the cats from my hands?¡± That¡¯s interesting.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s faced turned into a frown as he replied, ¡°Are you a cat thief?¡±

    Metalman started loosening his shoulders and said, ¡°Don¡¯t you collect supercats too? After adopting these supercats, we receive the power from them, making ourselves invincible. Does that require further exnation?¡±

    ¡°The fat LiHua cat belongs to me while the kitten is a stray cat. However, I¡¯m here to adopt the stray cat which means that you are stealing from me.¡±

    ¡°What an usation,¡± Metalman replied with a sneer.

    As metalman was speaking, he elerated towards Zhao Yao and was about to smash his body against Zhao Yao.

    Not only did his defense improved radically with his metal coating, but his weight had also increased to a point where it was far heavier than any ordinary human being. The effects were simr to a knight wearing his armor. If not for his muscr body, most human beings would have crumbled under the metal¡¯s weight.

    He was like an elephant on a rampage as he sprinted towards Zhao Yao. Every step he took was followed by a thunderous boom as he continued racing toward Zhao Yao with an unprecedented amount of power.

    If this force smashed an average person, he would undoubtedly suffer from fractures or even internal bleeding.

    However, Zhao Yao had received Matcha¡¯s superpower and had gone through rigorous training. When put against such a clumsy attack, he could have dodged it even if his power was on cooldown.

    He tilted his body to the side to dodge the attack and whispered, ¡°Elizabeth.¡±

    A glimmer of red light shed across his eyes, and Zhao Yao was in control of metalman¡¯s body.

    Metalman just felt that his body went stiff and he had lost control of his body¡¯s movement. He stared at Zhao Yao with a look of astonishment and said, ¡°You...¡±

    Metalman¡¯s fist started to punch his face repeatedly. Under the influence of Zhao Yao¡¯s power, the metalman could not help but let Zhao Yao control his movements.

    When his metal fist struck against his metal head, it was like a hammer smashing against a coin. There was a constant nking sound as metalman was left in a daze after the beating.

    At that moment, something violently grabbed onto Zhao Yao¡¯s ankle.

    ¡°Hmm, another partner?¡± The same red light shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes, and he had already controlled the opponent using Elizabeth¡¯s power.

    Zhao Yao took a safer approach by putting the unknown enemy under Elizabeth¡¯s power immediately to prevent any mishaps from happening. It would be disastrous if the unknown enemy was extremely powerful and managed to subdue Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao immediately took a few steps back from the unknown enemy. Consequently, metalman had been released from the influence of Elizabeth¡¯s power, and he once again charged against Zhao Yao with a loud roar.

    Zhao Yao raised his eyebrow and whispered, ¡°Matcha.¡±

    The cooldown for Matcha¡¯s power had psed, and the entire world turned into a standstill. Zhao Yao walked towards the metalman andnded a fury of kicks on his knee.

    You would only be as strong as your weakest link. In metalman¡¯s case, due to the position of his joints, they were not coated with metal which left them wide open for attack. Under the pressure of the additional weight, his joints were made even more vulnerable.

    When time resumed, metalman felt a blur in his vision, and Zhao Yao had disappeared. He felt a searing pain in his knee. It was as if a giant hammer had smashed against it. Furthermore, under the weight of his armor, his knee buckled.

    Metalman¡¯s knee fractured as he copsed to the ground with a loud nk. His fall was simr to a Spanish fighting bull copsing in a bullfight.

    Zhao Yao was standing not too far away, with the kitten on his back and Matcha in his arms. He stared at metalman carefully in case he suddenly retaliated.

    Matcha tapped Zhao Yao on his shoulders and pointed his paws towards metalman and said, ¡°Good job Zhao Yao! Now is the time for your million ton punch.¡±

    ¡°Shut up,¡± Zhao Yao said as he pped Matcha across his head, ¡°We still have one more enemy lurking around. The enemy¡¯s only option is to attack me or save his friend.¡± Zhao Yao stared at the metalman and road withughter, ¡°So what are you nning to do now?¡±

    Metalman stared at Zhao Yao with a gloomy expression.

    Within a short span of less than 1 minute, Zhao Yao not only wielded a vast array of skills and he did it nonchntly. Zhao Yao was able to defeat him without breaking a sweat.

    The metalman then shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t save me, return first! Go back to our boss, and he will think of something!¡±

    ¡°Oh? So you guys have a boss?¡± Zhao Yao frowned and continued, ¡°I guess you guys are a cat thief organization?¡±

    The metalman just giggled as he looked at Zhao Yao. He did not want to initiate another fight nor was he interested in begging for mercy. He just stared at Zhao Yao and spoke in a matter-of-fact tone, ¡°You are strong. Honestly speaking, I¡¯ve never seen a human borrow so many power and used it so proficiently. You are definitely the first of your kind.

    However, strength always lies in numbers. As long as we use an ingenious method to sneak up on you, even the strongest apostle or supercat will fall without a fight. Are you sure you want to be our enemy?¡±

    Even though the enemy was incredibly strong and took him down in a matter of seconds, metalman was not dejected nor was in awe of the enemy¡¯s power.

    To him, there was no such thing as absolute strength regarding superpower. This was unlike a martial arts novel.

    Regardless of how strong you were, you would still be vulnerable to backstab, hypnosis and other methods of assassination.

    Metalman believed that the only method to acquire real strength was in numbers. By establishing an organization where apostles and supercats could look out for one another, they would be invincible.

    That was the goal metalman was heading towards.

    Zhao Yao smirked, ¡°Then I guess I can¡¯t let you guys off that easily.¡±

    ¡°Is it?¡± Metalman broke into evilughter. ¡°You want to kill me? Come on! Try me!¡±

    At this moment, a helping hand reached out to metalman from behind him, hidden from Zhao Yao¡¯s line of sight.

    It turned out that metalman was just acting as a cover for his partner to rescue him.

    As the hand grabbed hold of metalman¡¯s shoulder, the floor around them started to shake vigorously as if the floor turned into mud. In an instant, metalman sank into the ground with incredible speed.

    Zhao Yao knew that he would not be able to do anything if both of them sank into the ground.

    However, just as the two of them began to sink into the ground, Zhao Yao activated time freeze yet again. Not only was metalman buying time for his partner, but the cooldown timer on time freeze was also causing Zhao Yao to lose precious time.

    As time froze, Zhao Yao walked straight behind metalman and took a closer look at the hand on metalman¡¯s shoulder.

    Zhao Yao borrowed Elizabeth¡¯s power, and just as time reverted back to normal speed, his eyes were already glowing red.

    However, he failed to control the owner of the hand. The power failed to take effect!

    ¡°What?¡± Zhao Yao gasped in disbelief as the hand sank into the ground with half of metalman¡¯s body already in the ground.

    Ever since Zhao Yao cracked the case of the killer cat, Elizabeth¡¯s loyalty level had risen to 95 points, which also means that the sess rate of Elizabeth¡¯s power is also 95%. It is already almost impossible for Zhao Yao to fail while using Elizabeth¡¯s power.

    It had to fail at this crucial moment.

    There was no time to think. Zhao Yao instantly switched target to metalman. Metalman¡¯s body froze and started to slow down as he sank.

    However, the person below reacted with even greater power, turning the floor around them into a liquid-like state. Although Zhao Yao¡¯s power was lifting metalman from the ground, the other party refused to give up and continued to drag metalman deeper into the ground, away from Zhao Yao¡¯s line of sight.

    Before he disappeared, metalman red at Zhao Yao in the eye as if he was saying, ¡°I will find you eventually.¡±

    Suddenly, metalman¡¯s metal skin started to fade away as Zhao Yao¡¯s power started to kick in and prevented metalman from using his power.

    With the fading of the metal skin, metalman suddenly became a lot lighter and started sinking at an incredibly slow speed.

    Zhao Yao gathered more power to lift metalman out of the ground. metalman reacted by grabbing the hand on his shoulder. Without the burden of the metal shell, metalman was able to utilize his full strength and started to tug and pull on the hand.

    The floor around them continued to liquefy and wobble like water; It was starting to be difficult for the person to use the surrounding ground as a support. As metalman continued to tug and pull, he managed to sink a little, but theck of support caused the person underneath to surface for a while.

    The person was a plump man with a pale-stricken face. Seeing that he was dragged out by metalman, he panicked and stared around with a frightened look in his eyes. Momentarily, he lost control of metalman¡¯s body.

    Just as the fatty surfaced from the ground, Zhao Yao instantly switched his target to him and let go of metalman.

    ¡°What?¡± The fatty¡¯s body froze.

    As metalman¡¯s head resurfaced from the ground, Zhao Yao already had the situation fully under his control.

    Fatty¡¯s liquidation power seemed to only work within a one-meter radius. The ground beyond its effective range seemed to be as firm as usual. At this instant, both metalman and the fatty were half-soaked in a pool of liquefied ground.

    Metalman grunted and roared at the top of his lungs. He swam to the nearest solid ground and was just about to charge towards Zhao Yao and attack him when suddenly Zhao Yao de-activated fatty¡¯s power, causing metalman¡¯s lower body to be trapped in the ground.

    Upon doing so, fatty gradually surfaced from the liquefied ground, dragging metalman along with him.

    Metalman waspletely drained of energy from his final move. His joints and knees have already shown signs of fracture and shattering. As a matter of fact, metalman already felt pain in his knees right from the beginning. If not for his superior genes, he might not be able to move at all.

    Metalman had exceeded his limits of battle and waspletely helpless as Fatty dragged him along on the floor.

    Upon seeing the dissatisfied look on metalman¡¯s face, Zhao Yao smirked, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go now. Make sure you tell me who your boss is along the way.¡±

    Though metalman appeared to be displeased on the outside, he was in fact secretly fearful of Zhao Yao.

    ¡°The ability to control humans, freeze time and the ability to control the mind.¡± Metalman thought to himself. ¡°Just how strong is this guy? Judging solely by his powers, he seems to be as strong as boss especially since he owns so many different types of abilities. How does he do it?...¡±

    The thing that bothered metalman especially was the fact that Zhao Yao was soposed throughout the fight and coulde out with swiftly decisions to deal with any problem.

    Zhao Yao controlled Fatty away from the ce, dragging metalman along with him. Although he wished to be on good terms with someone as rich Xiao Ming, it was clearly not the right time.

    Matcha sat quietly in Zhao Yao¡¯s arms and purred, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, what do you n to do with this two? Are we gonna kill them? We could bring them to the outskirts of the town, burn them and feed their remains to stray dogs.¡±

    Zhao Yao knocked Matcha on the head and reprimanded, ¡°Watch your mouth, will you? Who said anything about killing people? After all, this is about stealing cats. Why resort to killing?¡±

    As he finished his sentence, a voice surfaced in their minds. ¡°What about me? What are you going to do with me?¡±

    He could feel the cat trembling behind him, and he replied with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t you worry, we won¡¯t do anything bad. Just refrain from using your powers openly, or it would just be a matter of time before you get caught. Let¡¯s just stay in my house for the time being. ¡±

    As they reached the mall, Zhao Yao instantly sensed an iing danger. Ever since he shared the power the cats, he always trusted his sixth sense and instincts. Zhao Yao immediately disappeared and was nowhere to be seen in a sh.

    As he disappeared, both Fatty and metalman fell towards the ground at the same time. A police raid siren reverberated throughout the neighborhood, and many armed police officers stormed into the area.

    Just as the tranquilizer was shot, Zhao Yao had already disappeared from the line of sight and was hiding in a dark corner of an alley.

    The drastic change of events left Zhao Yao in a state of shock. ¡°What¡¯s happening? Why the sudden raid?¡±

    As he stared at Fatty and metalman who were lying on the floor, Zhao Yao decided against going back right now to snatch them away. He intended to activate time freezeter on and take them with him.

 Chapter 57: Investigation

    <h4>Chapter 57: Investigation</h4>

    ¡°What? Did you meet the masked man? Did you fight?¡± Inspector Ho stood up in anxiety as he received the report over the telephone.

    ¡°Very well, since he is gone, let¡¯s not chase him. For now, avoid any conflict with him.¡± He instructed.

    As soon as he hung up the phone, Inspector Ho sighed and attempted to extract information regarding the masked man from his memory.

    In fact, on the very night, the killer cat died, the police hadunched a full-fletched investigation on the masked man.

    Judging from the information they have, the prediction of the masked man¡¯s powers sent chills down his spine.

    Time shifting, mind control, ignition, ghostly powers, hypnosis or casting of illusions were only a fraction of his power. Combined with the fact that the masked man managed to take down the killer cat and ended its killing spree, he instilled fear in all personnel involved in the investigation.

    He had the ability to manipte multiple powers effectively. For the first time in many months, they came to a revtion that the masked man¡¯s powers may be even more destructive than they have imagined.

    Worse still, it seemed like there were still some ws in the masked man¡¯s abilities. If he were to refine his powers and utilize his powers more effectively, the killer cat would have been even more defenseless against him. Inspector Ho put himself in the masked man¡¯s shoes and could easily think of at least 5 to 6 ways of killing the killer cat.

    The frightening part was that killer cat alone could already take on ten armed police inspectors at one time.

    If the masked man was to give his all, how much power do they need to contain his wrath?

    With the power to shift about through time and space and especially in such a big city like Jiangmen city, no one would dare to stand up against the masked man.

    With the entire country¡¯s effort, it would certainly be possible to take down the masked man and his cat; Killing them both would be an easy task too. However, who was to take responsibility for all the cost incurred and damage done?

    Furthermore, the masked man appeared to be different from the killer cat. He did not use his powers tomit crimes or for any wrongful purposes. In fact, he seemed much more like a normal human being.

    This opened up the possibility of negotiation and absorbing him into the friendly force.

    Hence the masked man¡¯s identity had been ssified as ¡®highly confidential¡¯. In the whole city of Jiangmen, only a selected few actually know anything about the masked man and Inspector Ho was one of them.

    ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s about time to talk to him.¡±

    ... ...

    Zhao Yao drove Matcha and the kitten to Starry Starry Pet Hospital in his Panamera (car).

    Since he had ns to bring the kitten back home, it was only normal to give the kitten a proper screening and bug treatment before he steps into the house.

    Suddenly, Matcha was seen sitting on top of the kitten and continuously pping the kitten¡¯s head as he reprimanded, ¡°Where¡¯s my phone? Return me my phone right now!¡±

    Zhao Yao turned to look and asked, ¡°What¡¯s happening here? How did you guys end up fighting?¡±

    Matcha put up a pitiful look andined to Zhao Yao, exaggerating matters as spoke.

    ¡°Oh? The ability to eat anything?¡± Zhao Yao recalled how dirty the mall was and finally understood what happened back then.

    ¡°That¡¯s impressive but can she spit out what she just ate?¡±

    The kitten growled and stared at Matcha and Zhao Yao with hatred in her eyes. She screamed into both their heads, ¡°What are you looking at!? Release me now, or I¡¯ll eat you both right now!¡±

    ¡°Hah! You admitted!¡± Matcha said as he continued to rub the kitten¡¯s small head. ¡°Return my phone now, or I¡¯ll really kill you this time!¡±

    Zhao Yao merely shook his head and looked away as the two cats continued to argue.

    They arrived at the pet hospital, and it turns out that the kitten was perfectly healthy with no fleas, sicknesses, or diseases.

    However, Zhao Yao was called over by Doctor Liu.

    Doctor Liu was still wearing a simr white coat; her legs wrapped seductively with a pair of ck stockings. She crossed her legs and frowned as she examined the report she held in her hands.

    Zhao Yao walked over and Doctor Liu said, ¡°There is a little problem with this cat.¡±

    Zhao Yao asked in curiosity, ¡°What¡¯s the problem? Didn¡¯t you say that this cat is healthy and fine?¡±

    ¡°Well, it is true that she is free frommon diseases, but I¡¯m afraid there is a trickier problem.¡± Doctor Liu exined. ¡°This female cat, she may be a dwarf cat.¡±

    ¡°Dwarf cat?¡±

    ¡°You know dwarfism right? A dwarf cat is basically a cat that suffers from dwarfism.¡± Doctor Liu continued to borate. ¡°It could be due to malnutrition during pregnancy,ck of oxygen or even a gic w but cats like her would not grow any bigger.¡±

    Zhao Yao stared at the palm-sized kitten and questioned, ¡°She won¡¯t grow any bigger? And what problems can that cause?¡±

    ¡°Of course there will be someplications. Dwarf cats are usually more fragile and have a weaker immune system than normal cats. As such, they tend to have a shorter average lifespan.¡± Doctor Liu sighed and continued,¡± If you intend on raising this car, you¡¯ll have to devote extra attention and care to her.¡±

    A sudden thought shed through Zhao Yao¡¯s mind, and he asked, ¡°She looks so small but just how old is she?¡±

    Doctor Liu curled her lips in thought and answered,¡± I can¡¯t give you an urate number, but judging from the condition of her teeth, I¡¯d say a good estimate is 2-3 years old.¡±

    ¡°She¡¯s already three years old?¡± Zhao Yao gasped as he couldn¡¯t believe that the palm-sized kitten is already that old. That means that she is actually older than both Matcha and Elizabeth.

    At the thought of this, Zhao Yao gazed at the little cat with a weird expression on his face.

    The little cat responded by baring her teeth and screamed into Zhao Yao¡¯s mind yet again. ¡°Stop looking at me! I don¡¯t need your sympathy! Look at me again and watch me dig out your eyeballs.¡±

    Due to her dwarf sickness, she was tiny, and her four limbs were extremely short which made her round, big head look exceptionally huge. She snarled at Zhao Yao in an attempt to express her anger but instead looked extremely cute and harmless from Zhao Yao¡¯s perspective.

    He smiled to himself as he thought, ¡°She¡¯s a feisty one. That must have allowed her to survive this long in the streets despite her small size.¡±

    Ignoring her piercing gaze and barren teeth, Zhao Yao reached out and rubbed her tiny head gently. ¡°Rest assured little one; you are safe with us. We won¡¯t do anything bad to you.¡±

    The little cat didn¡¯t reply but looked intently at Zhao Yao with her big gleamy eyes. For a moment, she felt a gush of unimaginable warmth as Zhao Yao continued to stroke her head. She felt like she had finally found peace for the first time in her life ever since she was born.

    It didn¡¯t take long before the little cat gently closed her eyes. It was like the feeling of putting down a heavy backpack after a long day of hiking. She purred gently as she slowly fell into deep slumber.

    ¡°It¡¯s been so long since I could sleep so peacefully...¡± were the words that shed through her mind as she drifted into sleep.

 Chapter 58: Waking Up

    <h4>Chapter 58: Waking Up</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    As the little cat slowly woke up, she squinted her eyes and looked around groggily, only to realize that something furry is poking her mouth in all sorts of ces.

    She blinked her eyes several times and took a closer look at what was poking her. It was an orange cat touching her mouth with his paws as he spoke to himself, ¡°Where did it go? I remember that she clearly ate my phone away but where did it go?¡±

    She remembered Zhao Yao calling this orange cat by the name of Matcha. Matcha was obviously trying to get back his phone sneakily while she was sleeping.

    ¡°What do you think you are doing!?¡±

    Startled, Matcha instantly retracted his paws and after realizing that the little cat had just woken up. He dashed towards Zhao Yao at incredible speed and shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao!! That silly cat just woke up! Come help me get my phone out of her stomach!¡±

    Feeling annoyed, she curled her lips and leaped onto the sofa. Suddenly, arge cat appeared from behind her and whispered,¡± You just woken up? Were you also brought in by the two punks? I¡¯m talking about the cat and the man.¡±

    The cat was none other than Roly Poly. Ever since the ck cat stepped into the house, Roly Poly had his eyes on her all this while. He wanted to see if the ck cat could be hisrade and eventuallye out with a n of getting out of here.

    The ck cat refused to answer and instead stood up with her tail raised high. With her front paws extended fully to the front, she arched her back and did azy cat stretch.

    ¡°It¡¯s been so long since I had such a good nap. My body feels...¡± After moving about a little, the ck cat could instantly feel the difference. It felt as though some mysterious energy is coursing through her every inch of meat and skin. She felt incredibly rxed and healthy.

    ¡°This feeling...¡± The ck cat frowned to herself and not before long, she saw from a distance, Matcha and Zhao Yao walking about busily in the kitchen with Matcha constantly trailing behind him and talking non-stop.

    Meanwhile, Elizabeth was sitting on the window ledge minding her own business.

    Roly Poly followed her behind and asked anxiously, ¡°What are you doing? The metal door over there is very secure. The only way out is through the window, but the only problem is we are stuck on the 17th floor with barely any ce to stand once we are out of the window. We have to seize the opportunity to escape when these two punks take their leave...¡±

    Suddenly, Roly Poly froze as he saw the ck cat take a deep breath and make a dash for the metal door. As she ran, she opened a small hole in the metal door and leaped out of it.

    It seems like a good night¡¯s rest allowed her to regain her powers.

    ¡°What the!¡± Roly Poly immediately gave chase, but his body size was wayrger than the little ck cat. He went straight for the hole, but only his head made it through while his body remained stuck in the hole.

    He tried his best to push himself out of the hole but realized that his efforts were in vain. He began to start scratching and iling about with his ws in an attempt to free himself from the hole. However, as expected, he still didn¡¯t budge a single inch.

    Roly Poly started to panic and begged the ck cat (ckie). ¡°Please don¡¯t go! Please! Can you help me out of this?¡±

    At this moment, ckie felt that something was off. As soon as she left the house, she couldn¡¯t feel the warm energy which she felt back in the house anymore. A burdensome and depressing energy sunk back into her. It was as if she was carrying a 50-kilogram backpack on her back.

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao appeared right in front of her with a smile and said, ¡°Stay with me. You aren¡¯t fit to roam the streets anymore.¡±

    ckie stared at Zhao Yao and arched her back with her fur standing on its ends as she hissed, ¡°Who are you really? Why do you understand ournguage... And why...¡±

    ¡± Let¡¯s not talk about this first.¡± Zhao Yao gestured to the bowl of food on his hand. ¡± Come in and eat something. You slept the whole night; you must be hungry now right?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the bowl of food and smiled, ¡°This cat dish right here is my new invention. I¡¯m actually very confident of its taste.¡±

    ¡°This steamed dish contains chicken heart, chicken liver, beef, salmon, tuna, carrots, celery, pumpkin, ck fungus topped with a little bit of taurine and calcium powder. It should taste great and most importantly, it is very healthy.¡±

    Through many rounds of experimentation and trial and error of creating this excellent dish, Zhao Yao decided to rely on natural ingredients as the main source of vitamins and nutrients.

    The final step now was to discover the perfect ratio of ingredients in order to further improve the level of the dish.

    ckie, who had been wandering around the streets her whole life, had never seen such a scrumptious dish presented to her. As Zhao Yao read out the ingredients of this dish, her eyes subconsciously lit up as she stared intently at the dish as soon as Zhao Yao ced the bowl of food in front of her.

    However, though she is dying to eat the dish in front of her, she kept on circling around the food and did not start eating immediately. She seems to be extra wary when ites to deciding if the food was safe to eat; perhaps it was an old habit from the days spent living on the streets.

    Zhao Yao understood the habits of a stray cat. He knew that in order to survive in the streets, a cat must be extra careful and vignt.

    Unlike domestic dogs who ate whatever food their owner fed them with, most stray cats and a minority of domestic cats would choose not to eat the food at once. Some would even wait till no one was around before they start to eat the food.

    Zhao Yao waited patiently from a distance as ckie sniffed the food. After less than a minute, ckie finally licked the food.

    It didn¡¯t take long before ckie started to dig in and gobbled down the food voraciously.

    Zhao Yao smiled and thought to himself, ¡°Ha! Seems like I won her over with my culinary skills.¡±

    He squatted down beside ckie and reached his hand out to stroke her back as she ate. Just as his hand was about to touch her, she looked up for a moment but went back to eating right away.

    ¡°Hmm? It seems like she is fine with it.¡± Zhao Yao thought and continued to extend his hand towards ckie. He stroked her back and realized just how skinny and fragile ckie was. He could feel ckie¡¯s bones protruding gently on the skin as he moved down her spine. Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t help but look pitifully at ckie.

    Meanwhile, Roly Poly who was still stuck at the door sighed and mumbled under his breath, ¡± I can¡¯t believe she fell for it... Another one that enjoys eating sh*t...¡±

    Compared to Matcha who was raised domestically from a young age, there was a noticeably big difference in eating speed between Matcha and ckie. After all, in order to survive on the streets, these stray cats had to eat very quickly in order to prevent their food from being snatched away by others.

 Chapter 59: Shake-shake

    <h4>Chapter 59: Shake-shake</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao asked ckie as she continued to gobble down the cat food, ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±

    ckie just finished her food and licked her mouth and nose with content. She nced at Zhao Yao, and a soothing feminine voice surfaced in Zhao Yao¡¯s mind. ¡°I don¡¯t have one.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought about it for a moment and realized that it was a stupid question to ask; Stray cats obviously do not have their own names. He suggested, ¡°Since you are so tiny and ck in color, I¡¯ll call you Dust Ball from now on.¡±

    Zhao Yao turned around and walked towards the front door as he spoke, ¡°Come on in Dust Ball, Celestial Beats can only take effect in the house. Oh, Celestial Beats can help you massage your internal organs and strengthen your bones.¡±

    As they walked towards the front door, Zhao Yao grabbed Roly Poly by his legs and dragged him out of the hole.

    ¡®Pop!¡¯ and Roly Poly was freed from the hole.

    ¡°Hey.¡± Zhao Yao pointed to his big belly as he looked at Roly Poly. ¡°What are you trying to do? Digging your way out of that small hole? Use somemon sense will you?¡±

    Roly Poly asked Zhao Yao pitifully, ¡± I¡¯m sorry I won¡¯t ever do this again, but I¡¯m really hungry now. Can I have a bag of potato chips, please? Just one. It has been weeks since I ate chips and I feel absolutely drained of energy. ¡±

    ¡°No way. Look at what you¡¯ve be! Who knows when you might just die from eating too much human food. There are lots of unhealthy additives and seasoning in human food. You should stop eating human food from now on. ¡±

    Dust Ball stared at the front door in front of him and nced back at the streets but eventually decided to follow Zhao Yao back into the house. She thought to herself secretly, ¡°I¡¯ll stay for the time being unit I get better.¡±

    Zhao Yao stared at the hole in the door and questioned as he shook his head. ¡°In all honesty, what¡¯s your power? Can you patch this hole back?¡±

    Dust Ball introduced her powers to Zhao Yao, and he finally understood what just happened.

    Dust Ball¡¯s mouth was linked to a huge void which allows her to consumerge amounts of matter every day. However, there was a limit to how much she can consume; she could only consume a few tonnes of matter each day.

    As to whether she could retrieve the items from the void, Dust Ball was clueless herself.

    ¡°Try, and you¡¯ll know!¡± As Dust Ball was sharing her powers, Matcha had been standing at a corner and listening attentively to what she had to say. As soon as he heard that Dust Ball was unsure if she could retrieve the items from the void, he immediately stood up and urged Dust Ball eagerly, ¡°Come on! Use your powers! I¡¯ll try.¡±

    Matcha finally realized why his previous attempt at trying to retrieve his phone while Dust Ball was sleeping didn¡¯t work out.

    ¡°Scram!¡± Dust Ball snarled as she shouted.

    ¡°Hey hey hey... Allow me to help you familiarize with your powers.¡± Matcha activated his power, and before Dust Ball could even react, Matcha was already sitting on top of Dust Ball; He used his massive body to pin Dust Ball on the ground.

    Dust Ball yelled furiously, ¡°Go away! Don¡¯t press yourself on me!¡±

    Elizabeth who was resting on the window ledge nced over to take a look at what was happening and mumbled, ¡°Pervert.¡±

    Roly Poly couldn¡¯t help but close his eyes as he witnessed what just happened.

    Matcha seized the opportunity as Dust Ball continued to yell and shoved his paw right into her mouth. He started to dig around in search of his phone.

    Although Dust Ball¡¯s mouth is connected to the void, it required her own will to open up the portal to the void.

    Dust Ball didn¡¯t care if the void would actually eat Matcha alive and consciously opened the portal to the void.

    She was shocked when she realized that Matcha¡¯s entire paw entered the void without him being sucked in.

    Dust Ball was still unsure at this moment if she could swallow live objects at her own will. However, when her power was active, the living object could choose to enter the void on its own will.

    Matcha grunted as he moved his paw around the void, ¡°Let¡¯s see... where is my phone?¡±

    Although Dust Ball was surprised that Matcha could reach into the void, she reacted furiously and bit down hard on Matcha¡¯s paw.

    ¡°MEOW!¡± Matcha shrieked at the top of his lungs and stood on his rear legs as he iled his paw around in a desperate attempt to free himself from her bite. ¡°Release my paw now! Please! It¡¯s bleeding!¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao! Help me pull her away! I feel like my arm is about to break!¡±

    Matcha scurried around as he constantly swung Dust Ball¡¯s palm-sized body in an effort to free himself. Finally, time freeze went off cooldown; Zhao Yao was able to cast time freeze and rescue Matcha from Dust Ball¡¯s bite.

    ¡°Ouch! It hurts so bad! Zhao Yao, send me to the hospital quickly!¡±

    Zhao Yao examined the wound but it was just a small scratch, and so he couldn¡¯t be bothered to do anything about it.

    He switched his attention to the Dust Ball who was in his hands. Out of curiosity, he dangled Dust Ball upside down by her legs. Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t resist and swayed Dust Ball left and right.

    While he was swinging Dust Ball, the time freeze effect wore off. A sudden burst of energy pulsed through Dust Ball¡¯s body as she found herself dangled upside down. There wasn¡¯t enough time to stop her power, and suddenly a wave of dizziness struck her.

    Ughhhhh...

    In an instant, huge volumes of matter flowed out of her mouth and rained all over the floor, generating all sorts of noises. Things like huge rocks, boulders, metal bars, furniture and stuff that she ate yesterday started spewing out like a volcano, taking up almost half the space of the living room.

    Stunned by the sudden appearance of all these objects, Zhao Yao let go of his hand and Dust Ball leaped away from his grip.

    In the midst of all the objects, Matcha jumped out and waved his hand in the air as he announced, ¡°I found it! I finally found my phone!¡±

    Zhao Yao picked up a gold chain from the floor and recalled the rumor from before: ¡°Many pieces of jewelry have disappearedtely.¡± His eyes lit up, and he looked at Dust Ball with excitement. ¡°We are rich! We are rich!¡±

    Dust Ball rubbed her little mouth as she felt ufortable with throwing up. She looked at Zhao Yao¡¯s greedy eyes with disgust and snapped, ¡°What do you want?!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes began to glow red, and all of a sudden, Dust Ball lost control of her own body.

    ¡°It isn¡¯t healthy to keep all these objects stuffed in your stomach. Allow me to take a look.¡± Zhao Yao smirked as he grabbed Dust Ball by her legs again and started swaying her back and forth.

    Using Elizabeth¡¯s power, Dust Ball was manipted to use her powers again and even more, objects continued to spew out of her mouth.

    As rings, pendants, nes and all sort of jewelry continued to rain on the floor, Zhao Yao leaped in joy and started dancing merrily. ¡°Haha! We finally hit the jackpot!¡±

    ¡°Dust Ball, I¡¯ll help you do a proper cleaning up of your stomach.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s eyes lit up as he saw all the glittering jewelry scattered all over the floor and instantly grabbed a chair beside Zhao Yao as he eximed in delight, ¡°Hey, I¡¯ll help too!!¡±

    ¡°Use more strength, Zhao Yao! She must have eaten quite a lot!¡±

    ¡°Can¡¯t you see I¡¯m trying my best? Oh, my! Is that a DSLR camera? I¡¯ve always wanted one of those!¡±

    Matcha threw away his old phone and picked up an iPhone 7 from the floor. He startedughing hysterically as he eximed, ¡°I can¡¯t believe there¡¯s an iPhone 7 right here! I¡¯m using it for sure.¡±

    ¡°Wow! There is even a massage chair! What a steal!¡±

    ¡°Hahaha! Zhao Yao look at this! It¡¯s a cleaning robot!¡±

    By this time, Dust Ball had already be a spinning mess; it was as if the world was spinning as her eyes continued to spin in circles like a whirlpool. She greatly regretted her decision of staying in the house.

    Suddenly, she made a vomiting sound yet again, but this time it was for real. The spinning made her so nauseous that she vomited the contents of her stomach all over the floor.

    Roly Poly, who was staring by the side all this while, was left trembling in fear as he imagined Zhao Yao and Matcha with devil horns on their heads and bat-like wings on their backs.

    ¡°These two demons...¡±

 Chapter 60: The Organization

    <h4>Chapter 60: The Organization</h4>

    Zhao Yao continued to swing Dust Ball around.

    In another location found in Jiangmen City, there was a grand mansion with a lobby the size of Zhao Yao¡¯s vi.

    There was a long table made in France with 6 chairs surrounding the table. Each chair had their own ¡°cat seat¡± which resembled the looks of children dining chairs.

    The cats would gently tap on the bell ced on the chair¡¯s hand rest and a helper would attend to them promptly. The cats would then point to the dish they wanted and the helpers would serve them the dish and feed them.

    There was a spread of cat dishes on the table and every single dish looked simply delectable. If Zhao Yao¡¯s dish resembled the looks of normal human food, the dishes served on the table would be equivalent to a full 10-course French meal.

    Every single dish was prepared with extra emphasis ced on the aesthetic appeal of the dish; each dish was heavily decorated with garnish.

    Besides being aesthetically appealing, every dish went through a series of trial and error and scientific research in order to cater to the cats¡¯ dietary preferences and nutritional needs.

    All the 6 cats belonged to precious breeds like the Persian, Garfield and American shorthair with the exception of a small cat with orange spots on its white fur.

    The ringing of bells was often apanied by asional soft purring, creating a harmonious, picturesque scene.

    Resting on a couch not far from the table, a young man with long hair admired the scene from afar.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it the most blissful thing in the world? Seeing my little angels having their meal with a satisfied expression on their face...¡±

    Standing beside him was a middle-aged man wearing a tuxedo. He concurred as he nodded, ¡°Indeed, Master.¡± The middle-aged man received a phone call and picked up the call. His face changed when he heard the news and informed the long-haired man. ¡°Master, something bad has happened to Bighead and Fat Dragon. They have been caught by the police.¡±

    ¡°Hmm? I recall that they went to the find the cat living in the mall. Are there any updates?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll send some people to check at the station.¡± The middle-aged man replied, ¡°They have been attacked by humans and the cat has also been stolen away by them.¡±

    Upon hearing this, a thick green vein popped up on his head. ¡°Are you saying that someone stole one of my cats?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not just that. ording to Bighead, the person has the ability to shift time, telekinesis and control someone¡¯s body...¡±

    ¡°Multiple powers? You mean his body has the ability to control all that power?¡± The young man gave a questionable look. ¡°With the addition of the cat from the mall, he has at least four supercats in his possession which means that he could control four different powers now. I¡¯ve never heard of someone who can manipte multiple powers...¡±

    The young man mumbled, ¡°This guy is way too dangerous... We must rescue all the supercats.¡±

    He stood up and stomped back and forth around the lobby. ¡°4 supercats... Who knows what this fellow would do to them. Humans covet the power of supercats. Apostles like the dangerous man simply did not see those supercats as living objects; they only yearned to gain their powers.¡±

    ¡°With four supercats in his hand, what if he decides to torture all of them? After forcing them to give him their powers, who knows if he might end up mistreating and threatening the supercats after gaining his newfound powers? With so many powers in his possession, it may eventually be impossible to deal with him.¡±

    He imagined all sorts of cat torturing videos circting the web, and at the thought of it, he could no longer take it and announced, ¡°Find him immediately and rescue the cats back to my home! No... Wait... It may not be as bad as I think. Let¡¯s do this instead...¡±

    He cooled himself down as he stroked his chin and suggested,¡± If he has been treating the cats well, I would pay him a sum of money and buy the cats from him. But if my suspicions are right and he did mistreat the cats...¡± The young man¡¯s stared coldly into nk space. ¡°Do what you must... And bring the cats back.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Master.¡± The middle-aged man stepped back as he lowered his head.

    ¡°One more thing... Ask him how he is able to control multiple powers at once.¡±

    At the dining table, the cat with orange spots started to purr continuously. Apparently, Xiao Shi Yu once fed this cat along the streets when it was still a stray cat. It was also the cat who passed on the regenerative power to the killer cat and Xiao Shi Yu.

    The little cat gestured and was immediately attended to by a helper nearby who passed the cat a phone.

    The little cat started typing on the phone and momentster, a digital voice started ying from the phone. It read the words the little cat typed. ¡°Ho Hao Cang, did something happen with the apostle?¡±

    Hao Cang was the long-haired young man. He smiled and reassured,¡± Don¡¯t you worry Lucifer. It¡¯s just a tiny problem, and it will be resolved in no time.¡±

    The room turnedpletely silent as the six cats looked at one another. It seems like they were engaged in a conversation no one else could hear.

    ...

    Back at Zhao Yao¡¯s house, the whole living room was a mess from all the objects that came out of Dust Ball¡¯s mouth.

    Despite the mess, Zhao Yao didn¡¯t show any signs of unhappiness; instead, his face beamed with excitement.

    Zhao Yao and Matcha began to filter through the rubbish in search of valuable objects like gold chains, diamond rings, jewellery and silverware which were then safely kept in a box.

    Matcha kept holding onto the iPhone 7 andughed hysterically as he messed around with the phone.

    However, it didn¡¯t take long before Zhao Yao snatched the iPhone from Matcha¡¯s hand and said, ¡°I guess I¡¯ll be the one who uses the iPhone7 instead. You should stick to your old phone.¡±

    Matcha snapped, ¡°What gives you the right?! I saw it first alright!¡±

    Zhao Yao rudely patted his furry head and replied, ¡°Kids should not be using an iPhone.¡± He then proceeded to change the SIM card happily.

    Matcha¡¯s face was red as an apple but suddenly remembered,¡± This could be a good thing, it seems like Zhao Yao has forgotten about my purchase of the skin. Mmm... Before he recalls, I should think of a way to spend all the money that is with Roly Poly.¡±

    Meanwhile, Dust Ballid motionless on the floor in aplete daze from all the spinning. Her lifeless body remains sprawled on the ground in a distorted manner as the world kept on spinning around her.

    Roly Poly carefully approached her and asked worriedly, ¡°Hey there, are you alright?¡±

    ¡°I want... I want to...¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Roly Poly put his ear beside her mouth to listen closely.

    Suddenly, Dust Ball screamed at the top of her lungs, ¡°I want to bite them to death! I will kill them!!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t! You can¡¯t beat them both!¡± Roly Poly dissuaded. ¡°Don¡¯t you have the power to swallow anything? Use this power and find a way to sneak us out of here!¡±

    ¡°No. This won¡¯t do... I must get my revenge!¡± Dust Ball hissed as she bared her teeth.

    Roly Poly attempted to dissuade Dust Ball again, this time through her mind. He cried, ¡°Please don¡¯t! You don¡¯t want to mess with them! The two of them are thugs, demons, scums, and gangsters; you name it!¡±

    As they spoke, Zhao Yao had just finished filtering out the valuable items from the trash and began to clear the remaining trash out of the house. He dumped the trash into trash bags and slowly brought them downstairs and out of the house.

    The fifth time he went downstairs, he saw a middle-aged bald man wearing a T-shirt and Bermudas standing right in front of the front door.

    At the sight of Zhao Yao, he curled his lips and smiled, ¡°You are Zhao Yao, right? I have some things to discuss with you.

    ¡°Who are you?¡± Zhao Yao frowned and thought to himself. ¡°An agent? Salesman? Insurance agent? A troll?¡±

    The bald, middle-aged man replied, ¡°I wish to talk to you about the cats.¡± The bald man stared right into Zhao Yao¡¯s piercing eyes and continued, ¡°It isn¡¯t convenient to talk here, I walked past a cafe several blocks down the road. Why don¡¯t we sit down and have a chat?¡±

    As they sat down at the cafe, Zhao Yao questioned the bald man,¡± So, who are you exactly?¡±

    ¡°I guess you could say I¡¯m a police inspector.¡± Inspector Ho smiled. ¡°I¡¯ve always wanted to have a nice chat with you but couldn¡¯t find the opportunity to do so. I decided to meet you alone like this after some thought. ¡±

    ¡°Police?¡± Zhao Yao panicked a little as he recalled the policeman who was observing his fight with the killer cat.

    Zhao Yao put up a serious face and continued, ¡°So what¡¯s the matter? What¡¯s your reason for finding me?¡±

    Inspector Ho thought for a while and replied, ¡°The government has gotten news of the existence of supercats. I am the chief investigator for supercat cases that ur within Jiangmen City. The reason for finding you...¡± He hesitated but continued,¡± Is because I think that you, Zhao Yao, are the strongest apostle I¡¯ve ever seen in the whole of Jiangmen City.¡±

    ¡°Honestly, you are the only person who we know that can use multiple powers.¡±

    ¡°Strongest apostle?¡± Zhao Yao was slightly ttered by Inspector Ho¡¯spliment. He always thought that he was invincible with the power of time freeze and Elizabeth¡¯s mind control.

    Hearing this first-hand from the chief inspector, Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t help but feel ted. But as he got over the sudden surge of happiness, he shockingly eximed, ¡°You...you...¡±

    He suddenly realized that the inspector actually knew his true identity.

    ¡°You left too many clues.¡± Inspector Ho shrugged his shoulders and smiled. ¡°You were captured on CCTV at Cloud Road. Besides that, you left behind footprints and evidence of your fight with the killer cat; there was leftover fur from the fight, and your Panamera was parked right outside... Not forgetting the videos on the gaming streams.¡±

    Inspector Ho couldn¡¯t help butugh, ¡°Though you managed to hide your face from some of the security cameras, you couldn¡¯t avoid satellite tracking, and so it was really easy to find out your true identity.¡±

    Zhao Yao awkwardly lowered his head. He thought that he had been extra careful, but it turned out that his n was full of ws.

    Inspector Ho reassured, ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry that much. We have no intentions to arrest apostles and supercats. As long as you abide by thew, we will never arrest you. You can even stop working and we will give you money monthly. Or we could find you a job; a job that pays well and is in close proximity to your home.¡±

    Upon hearing this, Zhao Yao eyes lit up. ¡°Is it really as good as it sounds? Won¡¯t you make me cooperate with you guys for research purposes? I don¡¯t have to fight with my powers?¡±

    Inspector Ho shook his head and reassured, ¡°It is all up to you. Voluntary. If you are unwilling to cooperate, we will never force you to do so. But if you wish to do something for the country, we would be more than happy to let you do so.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s important is that you do not cause any destruction and that you do not disrupt our social stability. Actually, if you think about it, although Apostles like you are much stronger than normal beings, on a real battlefield, you can never stand up against tanks, fighter jets, and missiles. Furthermore, Apostles like you cannot be mass produced. ¡±

    ¡°Your greatest use would be seen in stealth operations, dealing with petty crime and participating in research. In my opinion, it is a waste to put you guys on the frontline. Therefore, you don¡¯t have to worry about us forcing you to do anything you do not wish to.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded as he remained deep in thought. He slowly understood the purpose of this meeting.

    As good as it sounds, he certainly could not trust someone that easily. However, he could tell from the inspector¡¯s tone that he was still very afraid of his powers.

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°About my intel... How many people actually know about this?¡±

    Inspector Ho replied with a stern face, ¡°Your powers are remarkable and thus your identity is confidential, needless to say. In the whole of Jiangmen City, there are less than five people who know about this, and that is including me. I assure you that they would never leak out any information. As a matter of fact, all identities and powers of the supercats and apostles like you are kept secret.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded. He didn¡¯t want any information about his identity and power to be leaked out to the public. As metalman once said, possession of such powers would only increase the risk of being attacked. It was only a matter of time before Zhao Yao met his demise.

    Even with his time freezing powers, if it meant that he had to be on his toes 24/7 to counter all sorts of threats such as ambushes and assassinations, he would get tired one day and fall victim to the assants. The only way to ensure his safety was to wait for time to pass and for BOOK to reach an invincible stage.

    For now, Zhao Yao had to continue to keep his identity hidden well.

    Zhao Yao suddenly remembered that cat thief¡¯s organization which he exterminated back then and asked, ¡°Recently, are there any Apostles who are stealing supercats?¡±

    Inspector Ho raised an eyebrow and apologized, ¡°I¡¯m sorry I¡¯m afraid I don¡¯t have an answer to that. These are all government secrets, and I have no ess to them.¡±

    Zhao Yao knew he would say that and carried on asking, ¡°In the case, does this mean that you have many supercats and apostles on your side?¡±

    ¡°Of course there will be a few.¡± Inspector Ho smiled and continued. ¡°But not many of them arebat ready. As a matter of fact, it is difficult to push for these apostles and supercats to be part of a fighting force. More often than not, modern-day fighting tools and soldiers are more practical in war. You guys are only useful under special contexts.¡±

    Inspector Ho looked at Zhao Yao and spoke in a serious tone. ¡°Honestly, I¡¯m beginning to feel that it doesn¡¯t matter if you are an apostle or a supercat. One day, we will all be integrated into the ¡®normal world¡¯. ¡±

    ¡°You guys are only termed ¡®supernatural¡¯ simply because of that fact that you have seemingly exceeded the normal capabilities of a human being. It is akin to our ancestors seeing us in the present. They would see us as gods as well.

    As technology improves and coboration with policymakers is established, more experimentation like teleportation can be conducted. And very soon, these powers would gradually be part of the norm.¡±

    He pointed to his head and said, ¡°But after all, we human beings all have a soul and are inherently simr by nature. Hence, our goal is for you to work with the country to make this paradigm shift a smooth one.¡±

    Zhao Yao blinked a few times and asked bluntly, ¡°So how much money am I getting?

    Inspector Ho seemed slightly taken aback by Zhao Yao¡¯s bluntness.

    Zhao Yao exined, ¡°Honestly, my daily expenses are huge. I have 20 cats to raise at home, and I only feed them expensive imported cat food. Not forgetting the supplements and vitamin pills that the cats eat daily. These cost me a few hundred per day.¡±

    Inspector Ho wiped the sweat off his forehead and offered Zhao Yao RMB300,000 for a year.

    ¡°Only RMB300, 000?¡± Zhao Yao curled his lips in discontent. ¡°Am I not Jiangmen¡¯s strongest apostle? Don¡¯t you think RMB300, 000 is too low of a price?¡± Had Zhao Yao not awakened his power a few months back, RMB300, 000 would have been such a huge sum to him.

    However, now that he owned over a million dors worth of assets and cash, RMB300,000 was nothing but a small sum to him. Besides, he spent at least tens of thousands of dors on cat food in a month.

    ¡°About the money... It is decided by the superiors.¡± Inspector Ho scratched his head awkwardly as he replied. ¡°We are a new department and our budget is really tight. Furthermore, there are a lot more other apostles in Jiangmen City that require this subsidy. RMB300, 000 is the maximum amount we can offer.¡±

    ¡°I see... ¡°Zhao Yao looked around the cafe and said,¡± In that case, I would like to open a shop. Will you be able to help me bypass all the legal steps and licenses such that I wouldn¡¯t need to do all this administrative work for tens of years?¡±

    ¡°Uhh...¡± Inspector Ho was lost for words. He had nned to raise the subsidy to RMB1, 000,000. He wanted to plead with Zhao Yao to ept the money and put up an act to show how unhappy he was with the superiors. And at thest moment, he would pretend to fork out thest of his money, offered them to Zhao Yao and hopefully, he would ept the deal. However, judging from what Zhao Yao suggested, it seemed like his n had been foiled.

    Inspector Ho asked carefully, ¡°What kind of shop are you nning to open?¡±

    He thought to himself and feared for the worst. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me his ns include opening a nightclub, sauna, and bar or stuff like that... That would be a tricky one; I can¡¯t...¡±

    Zhao Yao interrupted his train of thought as he eximed, ¡°A cafe of course!¡± He nodded to himself and continued, ¡°A cat cafe!¡±

    All this time, Zhao Yao had been thinking of a way toplete the mission. The mission required him to set up a shop and earn money by using cats. Initially, he nned to set up a pet shop or a pet hospital but decided against it; there was too much to do and too much that he didn¡¯t know. Besides, hecked the professional expertise needed to run those shops.

    The idea of setting up a cat cafe suddenly shed through his mind, and it seemed like a perfect idea to him.

    ¡°I have Celestial Beats, and as long as the field is established, customers should keep on flowing in.¡± Zhao Yao was confident that Celestial Beats would provide so muchfort and rxation that people would not be able to resist the temptation of entering the shop.

    Inspector Ho seemed to doubt the idea and rified, ¡°Cat cafe?¡±

    ¡°Yes, a cat cafe. Help me with the procedures and find a vacant shop for me. ¡°Zhao Yao continued with a sheepish smile on his face.¡±It would be best if it¡¯s located in a ce with high customer flow and in close proximity to the subway and my house. As for the rent, let¡¯s keep it as low as possible...¡±

    Inspector Ho rolled his eyes. It was so difficult to find a location as described.

    He kept his cool and replied, ¡°Alright alright. It¡¯s great that you are willing to work, but you must understand that it is impossible to not renew your license for several years. But don¡¯t you worry, I got it covered. I¡¯ll send a few men every year and take care of these administrative works for you.¡±

    ¡°Thanks! I guess it¡¯s a deal.¡± Zhao Yao eximed and happily shook Inspector Ho¡¯s hand. ¡°How do I address you?¡±

    ¡°My surname is Ho. You can call me Uncle Ho.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 62: Experimenting</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Inspector Ho was pleased that Zhao Yao was easier to talk to than he expected.

    During his meeting with other supercats and apostles, some of them opposed strongly to the idea and showed signs of retaliation. Others requested for ridiculous sums of money, some as high as tens of millions of dors. Even Inspector Ho himself wasn¡¯t paid that much in a year.

    In order to satisfy these people, Inspector Ho had to resort to all sorts of methodology; he threatened them, sweet-talked them, yed the ¡®pity card¡¯ and even tried to lure them through other incentives.

    Even after trying so hard, he still couldn¡¯t convince some of them. With their supercats and newfound powers, some apostles already began to live a life of power and affluence. In some cases, their parents belonged to an even higher social status than Inspector Ho himself. There was nothing he could do with those apostles.

    Comparing Zhao Yao and the other apostles, Inspector Ho was more than contented that Zhao Yao was willing to ept his offer, considering the fact that Zhao Yao was considerably much stronger in terms of power than the rest.

    Before he left, Inspector Ho recalled something and asked Zhao Yao. ¡°Oh, by the way, I¡¯m sure you felt the recent earthquake in Jiangmen City right?¡±

    ¡°Mmm...¡± Zhao Yao froze as he thought of a possibility. ¡°You mean the earthquake is...¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re right. It should be caused by a supercat. We are now searching for that supercat.¡± Inspector Ho continued, ¡°You can tell how destructive its power can get. Although it hasn¡¯t really caused anyrge scale destruction, we aren¡¯t going to take any chances. Even a small possibility of that happening is dangerous enough. If you manage to find it, you must notify us at once.¡±

    ¡°I got it.¡± Zhao Yao nodded with a serious face as he understood how big of a threat the supercat is.

    Zhao Yao headed back home as he kept on thinking about the conversation he had with Uncle Ho.

    From what he saw, Zhao Yao was pleased with the inspector¡¯s attitude. He appreciated how the inspector treated the supercats and apostles with respect; he ced theirfort and assurance as his top priority.

    Zhao Yao once imagined that people like the inspector would be oppressive, brutal and would even resort to violent means of capturing and exterminating supercats and apostles. He was incredibly relieved that it wasn¡¯t as bad as he imagined and figured that all this was probably for the sake of social stability and prosperity.

    However, power was the reason why things turned out this way anyway. The supercats and apostles had ess to phenomenal powers and the police could do nothing to control such powers. Hence, they could only approach the apostles with a submissive mindset.

    At the thought of this, Zhao Yao knew that he had to continue to increase the level of BOOK as well as the cats¡¯ powers.

    Upon reaching home, a dark figure swiftly shed past Zhao Yao¡¯s face. It was Dust Ball; she lunged herself towards Zhao Yao at the sight of him.

    Roly Poly shut his eyes as he saw Dust Ball flying towards Zhao Yao and sighed, ¡°Why did shemit suicide...¡±

    In a blink of an eye, Dust Ball was dangling by the back of her neck as Zhao Yao held her by his fingers. ¡°What are you doing...¡±

    Dust Ball didn¡¯t utter a single word but opened her mouth and sucked Zhao Yao¡¯s clothes, pants and phone into it.

    Zhao Yao raised an eyebrow, and as a streak of red light emerged in his eyes, Dust Ball was fully under Zhao Yao¡¯s control.

    Zhao Yao grabbed Dust Ball by her hind legs and shamefully dangled her upside down yet again as Dust Ball remained fuming mad.

    He started swinging her back and forth and ordered, ¡°Quick! Return me my belongings!¡±

    Uhh... A pile of trash together with Zhao Yao¡¯s belongingnded on the floor.

    As Zhao Yao stared at the pile of trash on the floor, he couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Why do you always have so much garbage in your stomach?¡±

    ¡°Mind your own business!¡± Dust Ball gritted her teeth at Zhao Yao but was sent swaying back and forth again.

    Zhao Yao cleared the trash in the living room as he left a dizzy Dust Ball lying on the sofa. He finally had some time to rest on the couch.

    Mango jumped onto Zhao Yao and rubbed his head against Zhao Yao¡¯s body yfully. Zhao Yao giggled as he gently stroked Mango¡¯s head. Mango reacted by rubbing his head against Zhao Yao¡¯s palm.

    Zhao Yao looked around the room. From a distance, Dust Ball¡¯s eyes lit up with fury as she stared at Zhao Yao from the shelves. Matcha was focused on ying Mobile Legends on his phone, Elizabeth sat by the window ledge and browsed through her phone while Roly Poly was starving in the corner of the room as usual. Zhao Yao turned his attention back to Mango and sighed, ¡°Mango, look at how obedient you are. It seems like I didn¡¯t raise you up for nothing.¡±

    After taking a short rest, Zhao Yao suddenly recalled the conversation he had with Uncle Ho and wondered if other supercats and apostles had encountered such a thing. He took out his phone, checked his WeChat and saw that the people in the group were already having a conversation.

    An ID named Omnipresent said, ¡°Recently, the government has been looking for apostles and supercats to talk to. Have you guys met them?¡±

    Another replied, ¡°Yeah, they seem to be looking for me. I hid and ignored them.¡±

    Leopard Head: ¡°I¡¯ve seen them. My fellow people, I greet you all. I¡¯m now a civil servant, hahaha!¡±

    Chubby Luban Assasin: ¡®What¡¯s the use of being a civil servant? They haven¡¯t found me yet, but if they ever do, I¡¯ll reject them instantly.¡¯

    No.1 Dried Fish Fan: ¡®Fatty, you never left the house once have you?¡¯

    Leopard Head: ¡®Right, that reminds me. Didn¡¯t you say you would eat your sh*t if you lost the challengest time? You can start streaming it now.¡¯

    Omnipresent: ¡®May the show begin.¡¯

    Chubby Luban Assasin: ¡®It was 1 to 1st time. I was a draw, so there¡¯s no winner or loser.¡¯

    ¡°Then let¡¯s settle this now.¡±

    At this moment, Matcha appeared in the group chat. ¡°Hi, guys.¡±

    Chubby Luban Assassin: ¡®I would love to settle this now, but my connection is bad now. Once it¡¯s back to normal, I¡¯ll beat you to a pulp!¡¯

    Matcha: ¡®I guess you don¡¯t have to eat sh*t. Just change your name to ¡°Chubby Sh*t Eater¡±.¡¯

    Seeing how the conversation had turned into this, Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t help butugh. He had seen Omnipresent in the chat for some time. Omnipresent seemed to be a very well-informed person; he often shared news about supercats and even knew a lot about the happenings outside the country. American apostles creating a ruckus, supercats from other countries stealing antiques and jewellery or even therge-scale mobilization of armed troops outside of Jiangmen City. He knew about them and asionally shared his knowledge with the group.

    In the next few days, Zhao Yao continued to live as he would every day ¡ª researching on cat food, bringing Matcha and Elizabeth for a walk in the night.

    However, it seemed like the involvement of the government had led to fewer strange urrences. It was even harder to find other supercats now.

    As for the stuff that came out of Dust Ball¡¯s mouth, electronics like massage chairs and cleaning robots have found use in Zhao Yao¡¯s home. However, Zhao Yao still hadn¡¯t found a way to handle the jewellery and essories which he kept in a separate box.

    After all, these jewellery were all stolen goods. There¡¯s no way to know if someone left a mark on it, or rather, who would be willing to ept these stolen goods?

    He felt shameless that he was thinking of doing breaking thew when he just spoke to Uncle Ho a few days back.

    Hence, Zhao Yao decided to leave the jewellery in his house temporarily for now and continue doing his daily missions while waiting for Uncle Ho to help with the setting up of his new shop.

    Zhao Yao searched the web for information on cat cafes andined as he shook his head, ¡°This is much more troublesome than I imagined it to be. Who knew that I had to do research for the drink recipes...¡±

    ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll get instant mixes instead. The main attractions of cat cafes are the cats anyway.¡±

    ¡°Yeah, when the timees, I¡¯ll bring all the stray cats into the cafe. It¡¯s a good thing that they already had their vine jabs; I¡¯ll just have to bring them to the vet for sterilization.¡±

    These few days of rest had helped the cats to settle down. Zhao Yao had allocated more time to making better cat food as well.

    As of now, both Matcha and Elizabeth needed almost 1000 experience points to level up. It turned out that the experiences gained from eating the premium cat biscuits were way too little for growth. Zhao Yao had already tried to switch to different brands of cat biscuits, but none of them could exceed the ¡®premium¡¯ level and gave very little experience points.

    Hence, Zhao Yao decided to rely on himself and find a way to produce higher-grade cat food in order to level up quicker.

 Chapter 63: Michelin-Starred Cat Dish

    <h4>Chapter 63: Michelin-Starred Cat Dish</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    In the kitchen, Zhao Yao stood still with a shiny knife in his hand as he sliced the tender beef into thin, juicy strips with incredible precision.

    After many days of practice, Zhao Yao managed to train his skills to a higher level. Time freeze was now even more powerful and together with the increased speed of ¡°Boiling Point¡±, increased dexterity and nimbleness which he obtained from ¡°Two is better than one¡±, Zhao Yao was able to swing his knife within a 0.3-second timeframe.

    This meant that the cooldown of his swing was just 0.3 seconds and that he was only unable to cast time freeze within the short 0.3 seconds.

    As Zhao Yao finished slicing the beef, a ck figure flew towards him at lightning speed andnded behind his head. It then opened its jaws and bit down hard on Zhao Yao¡¯s neck.

    It was none other than Dust Ball.

    Zhao Yao was unstartled by Dust Ball¡¯s sudden attack and grabbed her away from his head without even turning back to look.

    It wasn¡¯t the first time Dust Ball attempted a sneaky assault on him. However, Zhao Yao was able to utilize his high insight level to foresee her attack, resulting in a failed ambush.

    He threw Dust Ball towards the floor and said, ¡°Alright, enough of your little hunting games. Go y with Roly Poly or Mango or something. I don¡¯t have time to y with you.¡±

    Zhao Yao knew all along that cats enjoy ying hunting games like this. They simted hunting through chasing and attacking one another. From his perspective, it seemed like Dust Ball was just ying games with him.

    However, that wasn¡¯t the case for Dust Ball. Having been thrown away and brushed off by Zhao Yao, Dust Ball couldn¡¯t stand being belittled by Zhao Yao and stared at him with ming eyes. If looks could kill, Zhao Yao would have already been dead.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao continued to focus on perfecting his cat dish. He ced several empty bottles and jars on the table beside an electronic weighing bnce which was used to weigh the food contents. Besides the electronic bnce was a notepad which was used to record the weight and ratio of ingredients required for the perfect dish.

    This time, other than selecting his own ingredients for the cat dish, he copied several recipes from renowned chefs and even did some cross-referencing with the nutritionalpass made by the America¡¯s National Science Institution in order to create a top-tier premium cat dish.

    And figuring out the ratio of ingredients used wasn¡¯t even thest step. Zhao Yao ensured that his dish fulfilled all nutritional needs of a cat. He even went to the extent of selecting specific sections of the meat in order satisfy their protein needs.

    For beef, he chose the round steak. For pork, he chose pork tenderloin. And for chicken, he chose the breast.

    He used a manual meat grinder to mince the meat, so as to minimise nutrition loss. He mixed the minced meat together and ensured that they were mixed evenly.

    Once the meat was settled, he moved on to the veggies. He grounded all sorts of vegetables like carrots, pumpkin, cauliflower, french beans and ck fungus into a healthy mix of greens that helped to improve digestion.

    Every single ingredient was weighed precisely on the electronic bnce to ensure that the nutritional needs of the cat were met ¡ª nothing more and nothing less.

    After spending over an hour on perfecting the dish, Zhao Yao looked at the dish review and smiled to himself.

    Michelin-starred Cat Dish: A well-bnced dish mixed with a fine ratio of ingredients that strictly met the daily nutritional needs of a cat. Feed your cat daily and gain 10 experience points daily. So close to perfection!

    ¡°Finally! I did it! This dish will bring happiness to my cats.¡± After devoting so much time to making a better dish, Zhao Yao finally created an epic-tier dish. From now on, Matcha and Elizabeth will gain 10 experience points daily.

    ¡°At this rate, even if I don¡¯t do any missions, Matcha and Elizabeth would both level up in 3 months.¡±

    He happily brought the dish te by te out of the kitchen and sat down to watch Elizabeth, Matcha, Dust Ball and Mango as they chomped down on his wonderful creation. He smiled delightfully as he watched.

    Meanwhile, as everyone was gobbling down their food, Roly Poly sat by the corner and stared nkly at the food in front of him and kept on doing a digging motion with his paw as if he was searching for something.

    Zhao Yao walked to Roly Poly, frowned a little and said, ¡°Come on, dig in.¡±

    Roly Poly threw a tantrum and whined, ¡°I don¡¯t wanna eat this! I want to eat fries! I want fried chicken! I want XxXxXL Juicy Chicken cutlet!¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin as he watched helplessly.

    He knew that cats, especially domestic cats, were stubborn creatures by nature. Once they got ustomed to a certain dietary habit, they would refuse to eat for a couple of days if there was a sudden change in their eating habits. This would happen until the owner decides to change back to the original food.

    For a supercat like Roly Poly who was much more intelligent than normal cats, it was natural for him to be even more stubborn.

    At the thought of this, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes began to glow red, and Roly Poly¡¯s body stiffened under his control.

    ¡°What are you doing!¡± Roly Poly gasped in shock.

    ¡°Feeding you.¡±

    Soon after, under Zhao Yao¡¯s watchful eye (literally), Roly Poly began to chomp down on the food as tears rolled down his cheek.

    As soon as they finished their food, the cats resumed their own activities and Zhao Yao went to do the dishes, leaving Roly Poly alone as he sulked in a corner alone.

    At this moment, a white paw patted Roly Poly on the shoulder. Matcha asked in a concerned tone, ¡°Are you alright, Roly Poly?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m... I¡¯m alright.¡± Roly Poly uttered and shook his tail restlessly as he looked at Matcha with a tinge of fear in his eyes.

    Matcha smiled and asked, ¡°In that case... this month¡¯s card is about to expire. Could you help me get another?¡±

    ¡°But... But I already... ¡±

    ¡°Hmm?¡± Matcha¡¯s face changed as he replied with a slightly annoyed tone. ¡°Roly Poly, the reason I¡¯m borrowing money from you is that I¡¯ve always treated you as a good brother. If you aren¡¯t going to lend me this little bit of money, I guess we can forget about this brotherhood.¡±

    Minutester, Matcha walked away with a wide grin on his face, leaving a distressed looking Roly Poly alone as heid t on the floor.

    ¡°What a disgusting, terrible meal.¡±

    ¡°I still have to deal with the daily ckmail and robbing.¡±

    ¡°I want to leave this ce! I have to leave!¡±

    Roly Poly set his mind on leaving this ce and whipped out his phone. He opened his WeChat app and instantly sent a message to the friend¡¯s group chat after blocking Matcha, Elizabeth, and Zhao Yao.

    Roly Poly: Somebody save me! I¡¯ve been caught by two evil viins! Not only did they refuse to feed me, they beat me up, scam me of my cash and refuse to let me out! Somebody save me! I¡¯ll give you RMB2000 if you do so!

    Not long after the message was sent, replies from others came flooding in.

    The group leader, Meow Gibson, asked, ¡°XxXxXL Juicy Chicken Cutlet? Weren¡¯t you eating fine and living well? How did you end up getting caught?¡±

    One of Roly Poly¡¯s good friend, Godly God, who rarely replied in the group typed, ¡°Where are you? I¡¯ll rescue you!¡±

    Leopard Head: ¡®I¡¯m really busy right here, and I still have to send stuff for delivery. Can you leave a deposit first?¡¯

    Chubby Luban Assassin: ¡®Transfer me RMB100 for the taxi fare, and I¡¯ll head over to your ce right now!¡¯

    Seeing so many replies from the group members, Roly Poly got a little excited and invited all the members who replied to a separate group as he began to think of a secret n.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao continued doing his household chores and went to sleep soon after, oblivious to what was happening in the chat group.

    The next morning, Zhao Yao was awoken by the noise made by the cleaning robot.

    The cleaning robot doubled as an rm clock. Every morning it began its cleaning on time and waked Zhao Yao up. Zhao Yao would then spend the rest of the morning working out. Although his powers were gradually growing in strength, it was still important to keep himself fit and strong.

    As he got out of his bed, he saw Matcha lying down t on his bed with his mouth opened wide and his tongue dangling from its side. He looked as if he was dead.

    He walked out of the bedroom and watched as the cleaning robot began to move around the house. Mango trailed behind the robot and stared at it with a face of curiosity. asionally, he would flee away and return shortly after whenever the robot makes a sudden move.

    Zhao Yao strolled towards the balcony and began to do some stretching, followed by some sit-ups and diamond push-ups.

    After a good 30 minutes of working out, he went to wash his face, brush his teeth and went downstairs to grab something for breakfast.

    That was Zhao Yao¡¯s daily morning routine. Zhao Yao was slowly getting used to such a daily routine ¡ª waking up early in the morning,pleting his daily workout and getting his daily therapeutic session of Celestial Beats. With each passing day, Zhao Yao could feel himself getting fitter and healthier.

    A phone ring disturbed the tranquil morning. Zhao Yao jumped in shock when he saw the name on the phone disy.

    ¡°Xiao Shi Yu?¡± Zhao Yao saw the killer cat decapitate Xiao Shi Yu¡¯s headpletely with his own pair of eyes. How could she still be alive?

    ¡°Are you her kin?¡± Zhao Yao frowned and answered, ¡°Hello?¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao? It¡¯s me.¡±

    Zhao Yao gasped in shock as a familiar female voice responded from the other end of the line. ¡°Xiao... Xiao Shi Yu?!¡±

    ¡°I know you are very surprised but we can talk about thister when we meet.¡± Xiao Shi Yu replied. ¡°I¡¯m now in charge of your previous meeting with Inspector Ho...¡±

    Zhao Yao questioned, ¡°Uncle Ho?¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡± Xiao Shi Yuughed as she continued, ¡°Let¡¯s meet at Sunshine Mall, the one near Mountain River Road. We¡¯ll find you a shop there.¡±

    Zhao Yao hanged up and shook his head back and forth as he still couldn¡¯t understand what in the world was happening. However, he decided that he would just wait for Xiao Shi Yu to exin everything.

    He drove his Panamera towards the meeting location. It was a mere 7-8 kilometer drive from his house to the meeting location. The ce was situated in an ideal location as it was the onlyrge mall that was closest to a nearby university town. Hence, it was frequently patronized by many university students daily.

    Zhao Yao arrived at the meeting location outside the mall shortly after and saw Xiao Shi Yu standing alone.

    She had long ck hair with tender skin as white as snow. Her beautiful eyebrows and curly eyshesplemented her sweet-looking face. Wearing a white romper, she attracted the attention of many men around her.

    As Zhao Yao stared at Xiao Shu Yu, it felt like he traveled back in time to his university days.

    ¡°Xiao Shi Yu, it really is you!¡±

    Seeing how surprised Zhao Yao looked, Xiao Shu Yu giggled and replied, ¡°Haha! It¡¯s a long story. Back then I was scared to death myself! Let¡¯s head over to that cafe over there.¡±

    The cafe was over a 100 square feet in size, decorated with wooden flooring and beautiful wallpapers. The warm-colored lights that shone from the elegant-lookingmps created a soothing and rxing ambiance for its customers.

    However, Zhao Yao wasn¡¯t interested in all that fancy decoration. He stared into Xiao Shi Yu¡¯s eyes and asked, ¡°What happened exactly?¡±

    Xiao Shu Yuughed awkwardly and continued, ¡°I guess you¡¯re an apostle too right? Then you should know about the existence of the supercats.¡± As Xiao Shi Yu continued to exin the urrences after her ¡°death¡±, Zhao Yao began to understand what actually happened.

    Xiao Shu Yu did get killed by the killer cat that day. But a split second before her death, she obtained a power from the stray cat ¡ª the power of super regeneration. Using this newfound power, she managed to survive and escape unscathed.

    As she was supposedly involved in the operation of capturing the killer cat, Inspector Ho brought her back to his ce and decided to keep her with him when he realized that Xiao Shi Yu had the power of super regeneration.

    It¡¯s a pity that they were still unable to find the cat with the regenerative power all this while.

    Unfortunately, due to Xiao Shi Yu¡¯s political background and her powers, she wasn¡¯t employed by the higher-ups as they were ufortable with her superpower due to its vtile nature.

    Coincidentally, Inspector Ho got in touch with Zhao Yao at just the right time. He decided to employ Xiao Shi Yu as the middlewoman for Zhao Yao and himself, putting her in charge of facilitatingmunication and cooperation between the two of them.

    From what Xiao Shi Yu said, Zhao Yao could tell that she was unaware that he was actually the masked man who killed the killer cat. To her, Zhao Yao was just a normal apostle and a friend who was brought in by Inspector Ho.

    Zhao Yao naturally hoped that things would stay this way as he didn¡¯t want more people to know about his true identity.

    After finishing what she wanted to say, Xiao Shi Yu asked, ¡°What do you think of this cafe?

    ¡°This cafe?¡± Zhao Yao responded. ¡°Is this the cafe you guys found for me?¡±

    Zhao Yao stood up, assessed the surroundings of the cafe and was pretty pleased with what he saw. ¡°Not bad at all, I¡¯m pretty satisfied with it. I¡¯ll just install a few kitty towers, bring in a couple of cat toys and make room for a cat toilet.¡±

    The decoration of the cafe was simple but surprisingly suitable for a cat cafe. The location was in close proximity to the university town and residential areas. Furthermore, it was located pretty close to his home. There was no reason why Zhao Yao should be unhappy with a ce like this.

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°What¡¯s the monthly rent for this shop?¡±

    ¡°With a floor area of 155 square meters, the rent is RMB50,000 per month. We used your yearly subsidy to pay 6 months in advance. As for the deposit money, you can take consider it as a gift.¡± Xiao Shi Yu assumed that this sum of money was nothing much to someone as rich as Zhao Yao and continued, ¡°I¡¯ll be around to help you out with the shop. As for the existing employees of the shop, you can consider if you want to keep them.¡±

    ¡°N... No! I don¡¯t want any of them!¡± Zhao Yao strongly rejected her offer of keeping the employees. As he thought of the rent money, his heart broke into many pieces. ¡°So expensive... I can¡¯t believe the rent is so expensive!¡±

    On top of the rent, Zhao Yao would need to spend up to RMB200,000 on cat food for the cats. This excluded the money needed to install the automatic cat toilet, utility bills, and the cost of providing food and beverages to customers. Zhao Yao was too afraid to think about the expenses.

    ¡°I¡¯ll do everything myself. I¡¯ll be the waiter, cashier, cleaner and everything else!¡± Zhao Yao announced arrogantly.

    Xiao Shi Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, ¡°Surely you need a cleaner at the very least? We can always hire someone.¡±

    ¡°No need for that. ¡±

    Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°When the timees I¡¯ll let Matcha, Elizabeth, Roly Poly and Dust Ball do the cleaning instead. That¡¯s right! I don¡¯t even have to pay them anyway.¡±

    The following few days were hectic as Zhao Yao followed Xiao Shi Yu around to settle all the paperwork and contracts for his cat cafe.

    Once all the administrative work had been settled, Zhao Yao began to renovate his cat cafe. Although it was nothing like aplete revamp, he needed to rearrange the tables, brighten the lights and install all the cat furniture like the kitty tower, kitty tunnel and a few automatic toilets. Besides those, he still had to bring in cat toys and set up the air vent and the air purifiers.

    It sounded like a simple task, but when Zhao Yao really got down to work, he realized that there were actually many more things to do than he expected.

    For the next two weeks, Zhao Yao was fully upied with his new cat cafe. He left early in the morning and often came backte at night. Most of the time he would crawl straight to his bed once he reached home, exhausted from the day¡¯s work.

    All this while, Roly Poly observed Zhao Yao¡¯s daily movement.

    Dust Ball was furiously chewing on Zhao Yao¡¯s leg as Zhao Yao picked her up and said, ¡°I¡¯m leaving.¡± Zhao Yao opened the door and left the house.

    Dust Ball stared unwillingly at Zhao Yao as he walked away and thought to herself: ¡®He¡¯s really powerful. How are my powers not having any effect on him at all?¡±

    Roly Poly shifted his attention to the massage chair that came out of Dust Ball¡¯s mouth and saw Matcha lyingzily on the massage chair. Ever since the massage chair entered the house, Matcha was always there to upy that spot and made the chair his throne.

    Other than Zhao Yao, any other cat who wished to sit on the massage chair would be met with Matcha¡¯s vengeance.

    Now, Matchaidfortably on his throne as his white furry belly vibrated rhythmically to the movement of the massage chair. Matcha closed his eyes as he immersed himself in rxation.

    Suddenly, music started sting from the direction of the window ledge.

    It was a continuous chant that kept on looping and looping.

    Annoyed by the repetitive chant, Matcha hissed in the direction of the window ledge, ¡°Hey quieten down! There¡¯s no need to turn the volume up for a drama show.¡±

    From the window ledge, Elizabeth gently lowered the volume and continued to watch the drama from her phone. It was one of the rare asions where Matcha and Elizabeth did not end up fighting.

    Elizabeth had been following the drama craze recently. The drama ¡°Game of Thrones¡± was one of the hottest drama shows this year. Elizabeth had been hooked on to that drama. Sometimes, she forgot to eat and would stay upte in the night to watch. Nowadays, she didn¡¯t even argue with Matcha anymore so that she could keep on watching uninterrupted.

    Meanwhile, Mango and Dust Ball were ying catch with each other in the living room. Mango was clearly just having some fun, but Dust Ball had other intentions. She was training her body to be even stronger so that she could attack and bring down Zhao Yao one day.

    As all the other cats were busy doing their own things, Roly Poly eximed in delight as he whipped out his phone and typed: ¡®He¡¯s finally gone! The evil demon is gone! Come and rescue me!¡¯

    In the group named ¡®Rescuing Chicken Cutlet¡¯, Meow Gibson said: ¡®He left? Alright, we are on our way now. ¡®

    Leopard Head: ¡®Chubby isn¡¯t here yet. @ChubbyLubanAssassin didn¡¯t you say you wereing? Where are you now?¡¯

    Chubby Luban Assassin: ¡®Sorry I had a stomachache, wait for me.¡¯

    Godly God: ¡®How troublesome. Can you even make it?¡¯

    Chubby Luban Assassin: ¡®One second.¡¯

    Half an hour had passed, and Chubby had yet to arrive. There was no reply from him either.

    Outside Zhao Yao¡¯s house, three cats were seen gathered around on a grass patch. What was special about them was that they were all carrying a small bag on their backs which seemed to contain a phone in them.

    The one with leopard stripes spoke with an angry tone. ¡°This unreliable brat... He could have just told us that he wasn¡¯ting... We wouldn¡¯t even have to sit here and wait this long.¡¯

    ¡°That¡¯s enough little leopard.¡± A white Persian replied, ¡°Since Chubby isn¡¯ting anymore, we have to think of another n.¡± The Persian¡¯s fur waspletely white and free from any dust or stray hair. It looked simply elegant and majestic from afar; it seemed it never once contaminated its fur with dirt.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need for a n.¡± A white Garfield with orange spots arrogantly announced as it waved its paw. ¡°We¡¯ll just charge right into the house. If you ask me, I¡¯d say that we don¡¯t even have to avoid that demon. As long as I¡¯m around, I¡¯ll destroy that demon as soon as I meet him. I really don¡¯t understand what you guys are afraid of.¡±

    It turned out that these three cats were all part of the group which was nning to rescue Roly Poly from the demon; the Leopard cat was Leopard Head, the Persian cat was Meow Gibson while the Garfield cat was Godly God.

    Upon hearing what Godly God said, Meow Gibson responded, ¡°ording to XxXxXL Juicy Chicken Cutlet, the opponent has three supercats in total. One of them may not pick a fight with us, so we are down to two possible enemies. XxXxXL Juicy Chicken Cutlet also warned us that the orange cat is extremely aggressive and brutal. It has incrediblebat power, and we have to be wary of him.¡±

    Unlike hot-headed Godly God, as the leader of the group, Meow Gibson remained calm and analysed different types of scenarios which they might encounter. Meow Gibson had to exercise caution before he made a decision to protect his cats.

    However, just as Meow Gibson was briefing them on the execution n, Godly God had already charged towards the house as hemanded, ¡°All troops attack!!¡±

    ¡°This idiot...¡± Meow Gibson mumbled as he shook his head while Leopard Head burst outughing. ¡°Hahaha! Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go! It¡¯s a four v two including XxXxXL Juicy Chicken Cutlet; we have the numbers against them!¡±

    The two cats followed Godly God unwillingly but were stopped dead in their tracks by a huge metal door.

    ¡°Hmm! Trust me this is nothing. I¡¯ll show you how I...¡± Just as Godly God activated his power to knock down the door, he was stopped by Meow Gibson.

    ¡°Don¡¯t act rashly! If you wreak havoc here, you will alert the authorities.¡±

    ¡°Then what should we do?¡±

    Meow Gibson looked at Leopard Head and asked, ¡°Little Leopard, can you teleport us behind this door?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid not.¡± Leopard Head responded. ¡°Though I can teleport within a 100m visual radius, I can¡¯t bring living objects together with me. Besides, XxXxXL Juicy Chicken Cutlet informed us that this door requires a key to enter and exit. Even if I teleport inside, I won¡¯t be able to open the door for you guys.¡±

    ¡°Is it? Let¡¯s wait for a while then¡± Meow Gibson attempted to think of another way to get past the door.

    ¡°We are waiting again?¡± Godly God seemed annoyed with all the waiting.

    Meow Gibson reassured, ¡°Rx, in a ce like this, we can expect people to enter and exit the door quite frequently. We just have to wait here and follow someone through the door.¡±

    The three cats waited patiently outside the door when two girls finally came over to unlock the door.

    They followed them through the door and attracted one of the girl¡¯s attentions. ¡°Wow, these cats are so cute! Do you want toe home with us?¡±

    The other squatted down and gently stroked Meow Gibson¡¯s head as she said, ¡°This white cat is so pretty. Come meow meow, do you want to follow us home?¡±

    Godly God seemed pretty upset and said, ¡°This is so irritating. Stupid humans, do they actually think that we are that stupid? Look at the way they talk to us!¡±

    ¡°Endure, just a while more.¡± Meow Gibson replied. ¡°They don¡¯t have evil intentions anyway. Watch and learn.¡± Meow Gibson stared innocently at the girls with his beady eyes and began to purr.

    ¡°Ahh!¡±

    ¡°So adorable¡±

    ¡°I have some beef jerky with me here, do you want some?¡±

    Meow Gibson happily showed off, ¡°Look, as long as you do the same, these humans will give you all their food. They are just this stupid.¡±

    As the two girls surrounded Meow Gibson and showered him with love, Godly God appeared unimpressed and mumbled, ¡°Hmph! This is exactly the same as selling your own body, isn¡¯t it? I do what I want. If I want food, I¡¯ll just take it from the humans.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t you agree?¡± Godly God turned around to look at Leopard Head but was surprised to see Leopard head lying on the girl¡¯s feet with its belly facing up as he devoured the beef jerky happily.

    ¡°You two!! Have some dignity would you?¡±

    ¡°Dignity won¡¯t fill your stomach.¡± Leopard Head immersed himself in enjoyment as the girls stroked his belly.

    A teenaged girl walked towards Godly God and stroked his head. ¡°Look at this guy; he looks really angry.¡±

    Garfield cats always had a rtively tter face. Their nose and forehead were positioned closer to each other than they normally would in other species of cats. As a result, humans tend to mistake them for being angry due to their default angry face.

    It was exactly the case for Godly God. From the girl¡¯s point of view, Godly God looked fuming mad with his facial expression.

    ¡°Come, have a jerky as well!¡±

    After being rubbed and stroked about for several minutes, the three girls boarded the elevator, and the cats seized the opportunity to sneak away into the stairwell.

    Godly God grumbled, ¡°My fur is all messy thanks to the girls! If you didn¡¯t stop me back then, I would have ripped them apart!¡±

    Leopard Head teased, ¡°But you seem to have eaten more than us...¡±

    ¡°If I didn¡¯t eat fast enough, we would still be molested by the girls right now!¡±

    ¡°Alright alright, focus on the main mission. We have to save the cat.¡± As Meow Gibson finished his sentence, his body floated in the air and flew up the stairwell towards the 17th floor. It seemed like his power allowed him to fly.

    ¡°Ding, dong,¡±

    The doorbell rang, and Roly Poly rushed straight to it to answer the door. He announced, ¡°I¡¯m opening the door. I think Zhao Yao left something at home.¡±

    The other cats did not suspect anything, and Roly Poly came excitedly to the door. He then realized he was not tall enough to reach the doorknob. Regardless of how high he jumped, he was still inches away from the doorknob. This was an unexpected situation.

    ¡°What am I supposed to do?¡±

    At the same time, the doorbell continued to ring as Roly Poly circled in fear. Mango asked Roly Poly out of concern, ¡°Are you okay?¡±

    Roly Poly immediately replied, ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m fine, nothing¡¯s wrong. I will settle it in a minute.¡± His original n was to open the door and escaped along Meow Gibson. The ideal situation would be a peaceful escape.

    Outside the apartment, Meow Gibson was floating in the air as it frantically pressed the doorbell.

    Godly God was wagging its tail in frustration andmented, ¡°Will this work? Just let me smash open the door. Who rings the doorbell before an infiltration?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t get so anxious,¡± Meow Gibson replied, ¡°XxXxXL Chicken Cutlet wille and open the door. Then, it will escape together with us peacefully, and we can avoid a fight.¡±

    However, there was still no response after ringing the doorbell for quite some time. Slowly, some shadows appeared behind Godly God.

    ¡°This is so irritating, just let me knock down this door!¡±

    Meow Gibson saw that Godly God was on the verge of activating its power and shouted, ¡°Stop!¡±

    However, it was toote. Godly God¡¯s power was to conjure shadows, but they were no ordinary shadow. Each was as strong as an adult male.

    Out of nowhere, twenty shadows appeared, and they dashed towards the door in front of them.

    The thought of twenty adult malebining their strength together was scary enough. Furthermore, the force was all concentrated on a single point on the door.

    A loud explosion was heard, and the metal gate was blown apart by the giant force.

    Roly Poly was initially circling behind the door before he let out a shriek as the door crushed him.

    Godly God was happily jumping around, along with its twenty shadows encircling it. It immediately asked, ¡°Giant Juicy Chicken Cutlet, where are you? Come out now; I¡¯m here to save you.¡±

    ¡°This guy,¡± Meow Gibson was left speechless by Godly God¡¯s action. Meow Gibson then levitated into the apartment.

    Leopard Head was following behind them and asked curiously, ¡°I thought I heard a scream.¡±

    ¡°Really? I don¡¯t think I heard anything.¡±

    At the moment when the three supercats entered the apartment, Matcha, Mango, Elizabeth and Dust Ball had already reacted to the situation.

    Elizabeth took a nce and returned to her show.

    Mango was hiding underneath the countertop, curiously looking at the three cats which had just entered their house.

    Dust Ball was demonstrating her aggression by hissing and growling.

    Matcha stood from his massage throne and stared at the three cats. He asked curiously, ¡°Is this a robbery?¡±

    Godly God looked at Matcha¡¯s physique and asked, ¡°Are you the evil cat which XxXxXL Chicken Cutlet mentioned?¡±

    The question shocked Matcha. Meanwhile, Godly God had activated its power, and twenty shadows came charging towards Matcha. Thebined strength of twenty men would be too much for anyone to handle.

    Matcha had leaped down from his throne in a split second and simultaneously dodged Godly God¡¯s attack. Godly God howled in pain as it fell to the floor with its paws covering its face; it shouted, ¡°Who pped me?¡±

    The fall had disrupted Godly God¡¯s train of thought, and the shadows which it had conjured started to disappear.

    Leopard Head and Meow Gibson stared at each other andmunicated via telepathy.

    ¡°Did you see it?¡±

    ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°Teleportation and psychokinesis? Don¡¯t tell me the fat cat has two powers?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s impossible. Each supercat can only have one superpower.¡±

    ¡°D*mn it, what exactly happened? I need to groom myself to calm down,¡± Meow Gibson began licking the fur on its arms, with the hopes of calming itself down to concentrate and identify Matcha¡¯s power.

    ¡°So that¡¯s why you came here? You want to attack me?¡± Matcha started tough hysterically while the three cats were still in a state of confusion. Matcha dered, ¡°Muahahaha, are you afraid? Are you frightened? The dumbest thing which you have done in your life is to make me your enemy. I am the savior of the cat race, and I am the strongest supercat. I am Matcha!¡±

    In the blink of an eye, Matcha had teleported to Meow Gibson¡¯s position. Immediately, Meow Gibson fell to the ground as it felt that a powerful punch hit it. Ity on the floor with its swollen head which resembled a pig¡¯s head.

    ¡°What is happening?¡±

    ¡°What have you done?¡±

    Leopard Head was staring at Matcha with fear. Leopard Head knew that both Godly God and Meow Gibson were not weaklings, but yet they were taken out by this fat cat instantly. Till now, they still did not understand how Matcha¡¯s power worked.

    Matcha¡¯s lips curled into a smile and said to Leopard Head, ¡°Every cat lived to conquer the fears and ovee the insecurities of life. Eating cat food, grooming yourself, washing your face, and ying games are all part of the process to live peacefully.

    However, you can only achieve true peace when youe to my side because I am the epitome of cats.

    Are you interested in joining me?¡±

    Leopard Head snarled at Matcha with its bare teeth before it activated its power of teleportation. Leopard Head¡¯s body shed across Matchca¡¯s eyes before it reappeared behind Matcha. Leopard Head exerted all its strength as it pped Matcha at the back of its head.

    Even though Matcha tried to dodge the attack, Leopard Head¡¯s ws had already made contact with Matcha¡¯s body as it pped Matcha¡¯s neck. It managed to leave behind five scratch marks and ripped Matcha¡¯s fur off.

    Matcha was howling in pain as he retreated. Seeing that Leopard Head was about to use its power again, Matcha raised his paws and shouted, ¡°Wait!¡±

    Leopard Head stopped and asked, ¡°What?¡±

    Matcha was actually counting down to his power¡¯s cooldown. He had learned this trick from the manga where the characters would use conversations to buy time for recovery.

    Matcha did not reply Leopard Head and remained silent for two seconds before he used his power of time freeze.

    The world was at a standstill as Matcha stood in front of Leopard Head. Leopard Head still had a look of confusion while Matcha retorted, ¡°Which idiot would stop in the middle of a fight?¡±

    As he spoke, Matcha sent a fury of swipes across Leopard Head¡¯s face.

    ¡°Wadawadawadawadawada!¡±

    When time resumed, Leopard Head was howling in pain as it fell to the floor. It realized Matcha had tricked it.

    Matcha looked at Leopard Head which was lying on the floor andmented smugly, ¡°You still have a long way to go.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re despicable.¡±

    Matcha burst outughing and replied, ¡°Despicable? I don¡¯t think I was ever as na?ve as you.¡±

    Victory and domination are the only things which I believe in. The process and method to achieve them can take a back seat. Meowhahaha!¡±

    ¡°J*ckass,¡± By this time, Godly God had regained consciousness and was struggling to get on its feet. It was staring daggers at Match and shouted, ¡°Attack it till it is dead.¡±

    Instantly, twenty shadows appeared out of nowhere and dashed towards Matcha.

    Matcha¡¯s power was still on cooldown, and he was frantically running around, trying to avoid the shadow¡¯s attack.

    Even though these shadows were as strong as male adults and were extremely quick in their movement, Matcha was still able to dodge their attacks by juking left and right. He was living life on the edge.

    Within the span of a few seconds, the onught by the shadows had turned the entire apartment intoplete chaos. The sofa and dining table had been flipped over; the pots and pans were strewn all over the floor. The apartment was in shambles. Matcha was running out of space to maneuver and found it hard to dodge the attacks. Dust Ball and Mango resorted to hiding underneath the bed.

    Meow Gibson was soon on its feet. Its body started to shake as it was getting ready for its attack. It flew towards Matcha with a strong gust of wind and ended up in a tussle with Matcha. The strength and speed of its outburst wereparable to Andy Roddick¡¯s serve.

    Suddenly, an earsplitting shriek came from the balcony.

    Godly God, Meow Gibson, and Leopard Head turned their heads instinctively to a beautiful sight. A ragdoll which looked as if she had descended from heaven stared at them furiously.

    ¡°Who spoilt the wifi?¡± Elizabeth asked angrily, ¡°Do! You! Know! That! Ned! Stark! Was! About! To! Get! Executed!¡±

    ¡°Hmm,¡± All three cats were stunned by Elizabeth¡¯s question, and they all shared the same thought, ¡°Who is Ned Stark?¡±

    ¡°All of you get out!¡±

    Following Elizabeth¡¯s scream, the entire apartment started to transform. By using her illusion to alter their sense of sight, smell, and hearing, the apartment had turned into a giant feces. The smell had entered through their noses and down their windpipe and spread into every single cell in their bodies.

    This illusion was conjured by Elizabeth¡¯s impression of Mango¡¯s diarrhea and was intensified 10 times.

    The three cats began vomiting in unison the moment the illusion started.

    Meow Gibson was screaming in disgust and flew towards the window. Leopard Head was immediately behind Meow Gibson and teleported to the window.

    However, Godly God did not have the power to allow it to escape. It was crying as it dashed towards the door. Prrrsssh. Godly God was so traumatized by the illusion that it started to urinate on its way out. It continued to fart and pee as it dashed towards the door.

    ¡°Booohooo! Meow, save me! Leopard Head, Meow Gibson, do not leave me alone!¡±

    It was normal for dogs and cats to experience incontinence when they were under extreme stress. Actually, Godly God was just like any other Exotic Shorthair and was not as courageous and strong as it pretended to be.

    In the blink of an eye, all three cats were chased away. Matcha was shocked by Elizabeth¡¯s ability and said, ¡°D*mn, two jumped out of the building while thest one turned crazy. What exactly did you show them?¡±

    Elizabeth was very annoyed as she replied, ¡°Someone call Zhao Yao and get him home to fix the wifi.¡±

    Within half an hour, Zhao Yao returned to the apartment which was in shambles.

    He pressed his forehead and asked, ¡°Were you trying to demolish the apartment?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not our fault!¡± Matcha shouted, ¡°Three supercats came barging into our apartment. If I did not stand my ground against them and fought the 3 of them, this apartment would have been in worse shape.¡±

    ¡°Is that what happened?¡± Zhao Yao asked Matcha and was a little skeptical.

    Matcha was extremely agitated and shouted, ¡°How can you not believe me! You can ask Elizabeth and Dust Ball. Go ask them!¡±

    ¡°Alright, I was just randomly asking.¡±

    No matter what, they still had to clean up the apartment. Zhao Yao spent the rest of the afternoon tidying up the ce and fixed the inte. He decided to buy a few cameras online to monitor the situation at home even when he was out.

    However, Zhao Yao realized that Roly Poly was missing while he was sweeping the floor. He searched frantically for Roly Poly to find him unconscious and crushed beneath the door.

    He immediately brought him to the hospital for a body checkup. Luckily, his excessive body fats absorbed most of the impact. He only suffered some minor injuries, and his internal organs were fine and the bones were not fractured.

    Zhao Yao then brought Roly Poly back home and continued to tidy up the ce.

    Zhao Yao was thinking as he was clearing up, ¡°Were the supercats which attacked us from the cat thief organization? If that was the case, why didn¡¯t they send humans instead of cats?¡±

    Compared to humans, the supercats were much more valuable and precious. Furthermore, humans were physically stronger and were easier to rece than the supercats.

    However, Zhao Yao still could not understand the reason for today¡¯s attack.

    Meanwhile, Matcha was tapping Roly Poly on his shoulder with his white paws. He chuckled and said, ¡°Roly Poly, I vaguely remember them shouting XxXxXL Juicy Chicken Cutlet which sounds like your WeChat ID.¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s fats were trembling with fear, and he was breaking into a cold sweat, ¡°I don¡¯t know what you are talking about.¡±

    ¡°Meowhahaha,¡± Matchaughed, ¡°Buy me a Sun Wu Kong game skin.¡±

    Roly Poly replied with a bitter look, ¡°I don¡¯t have money.¡±

    Matcha replied sternly, ¡°If you want to resort to this, let¡¯s see what Zhao Yao will say ...¡±

    Roly Poly looked towards Zhao Yao who was busy cleaning up the mess caused by him.

    ¡°D*mn, even the television is spoilt.¡±

    ¡°Someone vomited? F*ck, who peed on the floor?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t let me find them! I¡¯ll stuff their head up their ass.¡±

    Roly Poly was shaking like a leaf as he listened to Zhao Yao¡¯s tirade. His pupil dted as he imagined having his head stuck up his ass.

    Matcha shook his head and said, ¡°How can I make such an unreasonable request. Never mind, I shall tell Zhao Yao who was behind all this and let him take care of everything ...¡±

    ¡°Wait!¡± Roly Poly stopped Matcha by blocking his way. He replied with a strong conviction, ¡°I will buy Sun Wu Kong¡¯s skin.¡±

    ¡°Can you also get me some diamonds?¡±

    Roly Poly almost spat out blood before he moved his fat tail as a sign that he agreed.

    After restoring the apartment back to its original state, Zhao Yao stared at the four supercats and thought, ¡°It¡¯s quite dangerous to put the four of them alone at home.¡±

    Even though this attack did not cause much damage or losses to them, but it alerted Zhao Yao to the possibility of future attacks which might not end like this.

    Even though Matcha, Elizabeth, Dust Ball and Roly Poly were extremely powerful, they still were cats and were not on the level of humans in term of their physical strength. They also could not use weapons such as guns and knives.

    Furthermore, Zhao Yao met the organization which stole cats in the mall previously.

    If someone came in and stole all the supercats, Zhao Yao would have no one to me but himself.

    Zhao Yao suddenly thought of someone who could help remedy the situation and gave him a call.

    In the outskirts of Jiangmen City, there was a huge, abandoned factory. All the windows in the factory were sealed, and it was pitch-dark inside.

    Within this darkness, there were a group of men and women creeping around in ck robes.

    They were surrounding a pot of fire which was burning strongly. Above the fire was a floating troll face with two devil wings attached to it.

    Baiquan was the only person who stood underneath the troll face. He was mumbling something as he led the group to worship the troll face.

    Even though Zhao Yao had repeatedly encouraged Baiquan to focus on his studies after he helped clean up the mess Mango created after its diarrhea, Baiquan remained adamant and believed that he already joined the side of hell. He had secretly contacted members of the brotherhood, and they had gathered to worship the troll-faced devil.

    The followers¡¯ convictions were extremely strong as they had witnessed the troll-faced devil floating in midair with their very own eyes.

    Suddenly, a phone¡¯s vibration shattered the silence and disrupted their prayers.

    Baiquan nervously took out his phone and looked at the screen. He was ted to receive this call and answered, ¡°Hello? Is this Master Zhao? Are you looking for me?¡±

    This had been the first time Zhao Yao had called Baiquan since the incident.

    Every time Baiquan went to Zhao Yao¡¯s apartment; he would experience an inexplicable tranquility as if he was in heaven. However, based on Zhao Yao¡¯s exnation, it was due to hell¡¯s aura. It would improve the health of everyone within, and Baiquan yearned to return there every time.

    ¡°Hmm, there is something which I need your help with. Can youe over to my house?¡±

    ¡°Sure! I¡¯lle immediately.¡± Baiquan hung up and walked towards the factory¡¯s exit. A group of followers stopped him and asked, ¡°Bishop, what happened? Are we not continuing with the procession?¡±

    ¡°Hell has called upon me.¡±

    Seeing Baiquan¡¯s look of devotion, the followers were ovee with admiration and respect.

    One follower asked, ¡°Bishop, will we ever see the troll-faced devil again?¡±

    Baiquan shook his head as he looked at the followers who stared at him excitedly and said, ¡°I understand you are eager to meet him. However, if your conviction is not strong enough and youe face to face with the fire of hell, you will end up burning yourself.¡±

    When your faith is strong enough, I¡¯ll personally bring you to meet the devil.¡±

    Baiquan turned around like those movie stars in Hollywood movies. He dashed out of the factory and removed his robes. He took out his phone and tried to get a cab.

    ¡°D*mn it. This ce is god-forsaken. I can¡¯t even get an Uber?¡±

    ...

    Baiquan finally reached Zhao Yao¡¯s apartment in two hours. By that time, Zhao Yao had almost finished cleaning up the ce. However, he had already sold the television and was waiting to buy a new one.

    A brand new leather sofa would be too expensive, and Zhao Yao was reluctant to spend his money on it, so they made do with the current couch.

    Zhao Yao waved his hand as he saw Baiquan rushing over, ¡°Oh, Baiquan you came at the right time.¡±

    Baiquan ran over eagerly and asked, ¡°Master Zhao, what do you need my help with?¡±

    ¡°The things is I have quite a lot of matters on my hand right now, so I need you to stay at my apartment and take care of my cats,¡± Zhao Yao replied.

    Baiquan initially thought that it would be something important. His disappointment was reflected on his face as he thought, ¡°Take care of his cats ...¡± You do not send your best general to take care of cats.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s face turned very solemn and said, ¡°Do not underestimate this job. I¡¯m telling you that these are not ordinary cats. To ensure that you are capable of protecting them, I bestow upon you this magnificent power.¡±

    Baiquan¡¯s eyes glowed as he listened to these words and said, ¡°What are you going to bestow on me?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a good power, a power which you are familiar with,¡± Zhao Yao had already activated Elizabeth¡¯s power as he was speaking. He carried Roly Poly which was originally engrossed in his favorite show and walked towards Baiquan. He said, ¡°Roly Poly, be a good boy and lend your power of invisibility to Baiquan for twenty-four hours.¡±

    Roly Poly rolled his eyes as he was unwilling to do so. However, his body shivered as he saw Zhao Yao¡¯s stares and raised his fat paws to Baiquan¡¯s face.

    Roly Poly had already transferred a small percentage of its power to Baiquan.

    However, throughout the entire process, Baiquan saw an entirely different image as he was under Zhao Yao¡¯s illusion. He saw Zhao Yaoy his hands on top of his head and golden mes were flowing from Zhao Yao¡¯s body to his.

    ¡°That¡¯s enough; you have received the power of invisibility. While I¡¯m gone, you must use the power to protect this apartment. If anything happens to any of the cats here ...¡± ming wings appeared from Zhao Yao¡¯s back, and the smell of volcanic sulfur rushed into Baiquan¡¯s nose.

    Spirits started to appear around Baiquan and encircled him. Zhao Yao continued, ¡°I will let you understand the true meaning of fear.¡±

    ¡°Do not worry!¡± Baiquan assured Zhao Yao, ¡°They will have to go through me if they want to hurt the cats.¡±

    Baiquan experimented with his power and found out that they were significantly stronger than the one given by ¡°Angel.¡± Not only could he turn himself and his clothes invisible, but he could also turn things which he threw invisible.

    This stemmed from his stronger conviction in Zhao Yao. Because of it, Roly Poly could lend him more power than before.

    Baiquan was exhrated to have this power again. He felt that following Zhao Yao was the best decision he had made in his life.

    With Baiquan and the newly installed camera at home, Zhao Yao could observe the situation at home if he wished.

    Zhao Yao finally had nothing to worry about as he focused his attention on the arrangement of the cat caf¨¦.

    With Xiao Shi Yu¡¯s help and the nine hundred thousand RMB at his disposal, the cat caf¨¦ was finally ready after one week of preparation.

    ...

    Back at Zhao Yao¡¯s home, Baiquan stuffed tissue up his nostrils and began cleaning the cat toilet with a wet tissue.

    Even though it was an automatic cat litter box, there were some nooks and crannies which cannot be cleaned automatically. It required human hands to do it.

    Zhao Yao was unwilling to do such things. However, with Baiquan around, he had assigned this all-important job to him.

    Matcha remained on his massage throne and was busy ying Mobile Legends. He had finally hit Master after grinding for so long.

    After reaching this level, Matcha was matched with teammates of a higher caliber. This had increased his chances of winning by leeching. He felt good winning games, and he got even more addicted to the game.

    Roly Poly was busy typing on its phone. It seemed like he was chatting with other cats on WeChat.

    XxXxXL Juicy Large Chicken typed on its WeChat group, ¡°Can you guys help me think of an idea and get me out of here? At this rate, I¡¯m going bankrupt soon. You guys can¡¯t just take my money and watch me suffer.¡±

    Leopard Head replied, ¡°It¡¯s not that we don¡¯t want to help, but the LiHua and the ragdoll are just too powerful. We cannot win with numbers when pitted against the Chuck Norris of supercats.

    Meow Gibson replied, ¡°Their powers are really annoying. The three of us won¡¯t be enough to get you out of there.¡±

    Chubby Luban Assassin replied, ¡°What are you afraid of? If not for my diarrhea, I would have taken care of those two cats singlehandedly. The rest of you can just sit tight and watch my performance.¡±

    ¡°Get lost!¡± Godly God refuted angrily, ¡°We don¡¯t need to depend on other cats for help. I was too careless the previous time, and I will take them down with my paws this time. I am going to pee on their body and let them reek of my smell.¡±

    Leopard Head rebuffed Godly God¡¯s rejection, ¡°I am sure they have had enough of your smell after you flooded their house with your pee. Perhaps they might even think that their apartment belongs to your territory.¡±

    Roly Poly shook his head as he saw the gibberish between the other cats. He thought, ¡°Maybe it¡¯s time to add a few other supercats into the group.¡±

    With a sh of insight, Roly Poly imagined Dust Ball joining his side and destroying Matcha and Elizabeth with her power.

    Meanwhile, Dust Ball was training herself by doing pushups in the living room.

    During her stay in Zhao Yao¡¯s apartment, her staple of premier cat food and Michelin-starred cat rice had made her look revitalized. Even her fur seemed to glisten when she basked in a sunbeam.

    She devoted all her energy to training her body and getting stronger. She was just waiting for the right moment to attack Zhao Yao.

    Elizabeth was still binge-watching Game of Thrones. Her expression changed with every unexpected turn of events in the plot.

    Mango was curiously following behind Baiquan. It was extremely curious to find out more about this new human at home.

    At this moment, the front door swung open, and Zhao Yao entered.

    ¡°Haha, let¡¯s go. Let me bring you to the cat caf¨¦,¡± Zhao Yao dered with a look of excitement, ¡°You guys can go over there and y in the future.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not going,¡± Matcha and Elizabeth¡¯s voice erupted in Zhao Yao¡¯s head in unison.

    ¡°I want to y Mobile Legends.¡±

    ¡°I want to watch Game of Thrones.¡±

    Dust Ball thought that this was her opportunity as she pounced onto Zhao Yao. Instead, Zhao Yao caught her in midair and cradled her in his arms before Dust Ball couldnd her paws on Zhao Yao¡¯s neck.

    Zhao Yao insisted after hearing Matcha and Elizabeth¡¯sint, ¡°I am not asking you guys to go there, I am ordering you to do so. There won¡¯t be food for those who choose to stay at home.¡±

    Both cats relented when they realized that their dinner was on the line. Roly Poly was the only cat which raised his paws eagerly and yelled, ¡°I¡¯m not eating. I don¡¯t want to eat cat rice.¡±

    Zhao Yao red at Roly Poly and said, ¡°If you choose to stay at home, I will stuff all the leftover into your mouth.¡±

    Zhao Yao raised his head and asked Elizabeth, ¡°Can you help me bring the stray cats to the caf¨¦?¡±

    It was somewhat inconvenient to have so many cats at home. After all, this apartment was designed for humans and not cats. Their paws have caused a lot of damage to the wallpaper, sofa and even the electrical wires.

    However, if he cooped all the cats in a single room, there would not be enough space for them to walk around.

    On the other hand, the cat caf¨¦ had lots of space for the cats to roam around freely. There were more self-cleaning automatic litter boxes, kitty towers and toys for them to y with. It would be a lot easier to take care of them over there.

    Zhao Yao decided to keep the stray cats at the caf¨¦ while the supercats would continue staying at home with him. Obviously, someone would be tasked with the heavy responsibility of taking care of the stray cats.

    Zhao Yao looked at Baiquan and said, ¡°Baiquan, you cane along with us.¡±

    Baiquan was more than happy to ept Zhao Yao¡¯s invitation. When Zhao Yao opened the door to the stray cats¡¯ room, they were suddenly surrounded by a chorus of meows. A few exceptionally affectionate cats even came over to Zhao Yao and rubbed their bodies against his trousers.

    Even though they were slightly disobedient, they still listened to Matcha and Elizabeth¡¯s instructions because they had regarded them as the alphas of the pack. A clear hierarchy had been established among them.

    Elizabeth received instructions from Zhao Yao and ryed them to the stray cats. They listened to Elizabeth¡¯s instructions and proceeded to Zhao Yao¡¯s car in an orderly fashion.

    The troublesome thing was to transport the five cat food feeders and water dispensers to the caf¨¦.

    To take care of 15 adult cats and three kittens, Zhao Yao had to order a few more sets of cat litter boxes and cat food feeders from TaoBao.

    When Zhao Yao ordered the items from TaoBao, they were delivered to his apartment using ninja vans. Now, it was almost impossible to fit all of them into Zhao Yao¡¯s Panamera.

    However, he had a trick up his sleeve to solve the problem.

    A glimmer of red light shed across his eye as he activated Elizabeth¡¯s power.

    Dust Ball¡¯s body suddenly froze as Zhao Yao had gained full control over her.

    ¡°What are you trying to do?¡± A panicky voice rung in Zhao Yao¡¯s head.

    Zhao Yao walked towards the cat toilet with Dust Ball in his arms. He replied, ¡°I¡¯m just borrowing your power. There is nothing to worry.¡±

    After ten minutes ...

    ¡°Stop! Stop what you are doing! It¡¯s too big! It¡¯s too big! It can¡¯t fit inside!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay,¡± Zhao Yao chuckled and continued, ¡°We can fit everything in with a little squeeze.¡±

    ¡°It smells so bad; I¡¯m going to vomit.¡±

    Zhao Yao continued tough and said, ¡°Just bear with it. The smell will be gone the moment you swallow it.¡±

    ¡°Its ... It¡¯s really too big!¡± Dust Ball¡¯s pitiful scream rang in everyone¡¯s heads, ¡°I am going to explode if you squeeze anymore thing inside of me.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay; it will be done in a jiffy.¡±

    The remaining supercats were trembling in fear as Dust Ball¡¯s scream echoed in their heads. Matcha, Elizabeth, and Roly Poly all found Zhao Yao slightly psychopathic.

    Inside the stray cat¡¯s room, Zhao Yao was grabbing Dust Ball in one hand while holding on to the cat litter box in his other hand. He was still squeezing the litter box into Dust Ball¡¯s mouth inch by inch.

    Even though Zhao Yao possessed Elizabeth¡¯s power to control other living things, he still found it difficult to suck things in using Dust Ball¡¯s mouth.

    His attempt to squeeze everything into Dust Ball¡¯s mouth made her extremely irritated.

    Luckily, Dust Ball¡¯s power was not tooplicated to understand. Zhao Yao managed to master it after experimenting for some time and managed to fit all five litter boxes and cat food feeders into Dust Ball¡¯s stomach.

    Dust Ball seethed with anger after eating five cat litter boxes continuously.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, I dere you as my enemy!¡±

    ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t do it again,¡± Zhao Yao tried to calm her before stuffing the palm-sized Dust Ball into his pocket. From afar, she looked like a wallet with a ck cat design. He then walked towards the door, ¡°Let¡¯s go to our new cat caf¨¦! The kind of food which you will get depends on your performance over there!¡±

    The three supercats could only sympathize with Dust Ball which was stuffed in Zhao Yao¡¯s pocket. They started trembling the moment they heard Zhao Yao¡¯s voice and sat obediently in the rear seats. It was the pr opposite of their usual behavior.

    In their eyes, Zhao Yao was the devil to all devils and a cat terminator.

    Meanwhile, Baiquan¡¯s eyes were glowing with envy as he asked Zhao Yao, ¡°Master Zhao, is this a space distortion magic? Have you inserted an entirely new dimension into its stomach?¡±

    ¡°Erm, I guess you can say that,¡± Zhao Yao rolled his eyes as he had given up on the thought of encouraging him to go back to studies.

    He nced at Mango which wastching tightly onto a fake rat and remarked, ¡°Elizabeth, control Mango and stop it from ying. We¡¯re going to move out soon.¡±

    ¡°Hmm,¡± Elizabeth replied with a look of confusion, ¡°I¡¯m trying but ... I just can¡¯t seem to control it.¡±

    ¡°You can¡¯t control it?¡± Zhao Yao repeated, ¡°How is that possible?¡±

    ¡°There is nothing inside its head,¡± Elizabeth exined, ¡°It was like trying to control a flower or a nt; you just can¡¯t control it.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes in disbelief as a glimmer of red light once again shed across his eyes, and he activated Elizabeth¡¯s power. It was like his consciousness just multiplied into two as his newly materialized consciousness entered Mango¡¯s body.

    However, unlike usual, he was not inundated by the countless memories within Mango¡¯s brain. He felt like he had arrived at a nk piece of white paper. There was nothing on it. It was impossible to control Mango using Elizabeth¡¯s power.

    Zhao Yao was left speechless after he deactivated Elizabeth¡¯s power andmented, ¡°This guy, its brain is empty?¡±

    Mango continued to stare at Zhao Yao wide-eyed. There was nothing beneath its adorable face.

    Zhao Yao was left with the only option of carrying Mango into the car and made their way towards the caf¨¦.

    They were able to reach the basement carpark of the mall in a few minutes with the Panamera. All the stray cats and supercats were marching in unison towards the caf¨¦. This incredible sight captured the attention of the shoppers inside the mall.

    ¡°Look, so many cats are following that guy.¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t walk a cat, isn¡¯t he afraid that the cats would be frightened and run away?¡±

    ¡°No, look at them. They are all so obedient.¡±

    ¡°Look at the huge cat walking at the front of the pack. It¡¯s so big and fat and cute! What kind of cat is it.¡±

    ¡°I think it¡¯s a ragdoll.¡±

    Zhao Yao did not care about the attention that the shoppers were showering his cats with. He knew that these cats had to interact with strangers soon; hence there was nothing unusual about this. Furthermore, this was quite a good publicity stunt for his caf¨¦.

    Zhao Yao finally brought Baiquan and the cats to the cat caf¨¦. It looked radically different from the restaurant which he bought weeks ago. It had transformed from a low key, inconspicuous caf¨¦ into an ostentatious cat caf¨¦ painted in blue and white.

    Four words of different size were printed above the front door ¨C Cat Haven Coffee House.

    Zhao Yao even hired AkzoNobel for the painting. They painted with eco-friendly paint andpleted the job in just a few days and were ready for business.

    Once you entered the caf¨¦, you would notice rows of white, circr table. They were surrounded by beautiful wallpaper which had hyper-realistic clouds on it. The predominant color scheme was abination of white and blue. To allow the customers to better engage and y with the cats, Zhao Yao bought newmps which were brighter and bigger.

    Tiny fences were erected at the doorstep. This was to prevent cats from escaping and customers from flooding into the caf¨¦.

    There was a cab on the side of the fences. Zhao Yao had thoughtfully ced hand sanitizer and shoe covers for the customers to disinfect themselves before entering. This was to prevent the spread of any contagious diseases.

    Beside the round tables in the hall, there were also all sorts of cat tunnels and kitty towers. Wooden nks were bolted onto the walls. This allowed the cats to travel around the caf¨¦ in their exclusive k highway.

    Most of the stray cats were rather timid and started hiding inside the cat tunnels. The cats which were a little braver ventured to the top of the kitty tower and meowed at those beneath it. The bravest ones climbed up the nks and dashed along their kitty expressway.

    There was a bar at the back of the hall. On its wall was a list of a variety of coffee and their respective prices. Shi Yu was standing behind the bar counter and was shocked to see the influx of cats. She asked, ¡°How did you manage to get so many cats? Did you buy all of them from a nearby pet store?¡±

    ¡°Which pet store would have so many crossbred cats,¡± Zhao Yao chortled and continued, ¡°These are the stray cats which I¡¯ve adopted.¡±

    Shi Yu took a look at the cats, and all of them were full of energy. Their fur looked so soft and beautiful; it even seemed like it was glittering in the sunlight. They definitely did not look like stray cats. Shi Yumented, ¡°You did an excellent job taking care of all these cats.¡±

    Zhao Yao just continued tough. He had fed them with the best cat food, vitamins, and nutrition powder.

    Theoretically, Zhao Yao understood that these stray cats had been through cycles of natural selection and they were much healthier than their pedigreed counterparts.

    However, the only downside to crossbred cats was that they were used to independent living. Arge proportion of them would not be as affectionate and hence would not be an ideal pet for many.

    However, under Elizabeth¡¯s supervision, Zhao Yao knew that the stray cats would not do anything hostile to the customers.

    Shi Yu grabbed a tuxedo cat and gave it a gentle massage. It meowed with pleasure as Shi Yumented, ¡°It¡¯s so cute and affectionate!¡±

    ¡°This cat is especially friendly aspared to the others,¡± Zhao Yao continued, ¡°That¡¯s right. Every cat has a distinct personality. We should take a picture of them and paste it on a board. This is to inform customers which cat is friendlier and which is more yful. It can also warn them against ying with the cats which are a little timid.¡±

    Shi Yu chuckled as she noticed Baiquan standing behind Zhao Yao. She asked, ¡°Baiquan, why are you here?¡±

    ¡°Oh, he is here to help us manage the caf¨¦. Don¡¯t worry, he has turned over a new leaf, and he is the premier feline sanitary expert and is also known as the Lord of Cat Shit.¡±

    Baiquan was left speechless by Zhao Yao¡¯s words as he stared at Zhao Yao, ¡°Huh?¡± He felt as if he was a ve who had been sold to a new master.

    Zhao Yao did not care about Baiquan¡¯s reaction as he walked towards a specially designated spot. It was a small room, and there were shelves on both sides of the walls. At the corner, there were also pipes and fittings for water to flow through. Zhao Yao wanted to use it as a normal toilet.

    However, Zhao Yao had a change of mind and designated it as the cats¡¯ toilet.

    He did not want to expose Dust Ball¡¯s power right in front of Shi Yu¡¯s eyes which was why he entered the room alone. Shi Yu was now an official sent by the government on formal duties; hence Zhao Yao wanted to prevent her from knowing too much about the supercats and their abilities.

    Zhao Yao fished Dust Ball out of his pocket and stretched her mouth. He held Dust Ball by her hind legs as he started to shake her body to empty the things inside her stomach. It looked like he was emptying a dustbin.

    ¡°A*shole, let go of me!¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao! You are a dead man! One day, I¡¯m going to kill you!¡±

    ¡°Let go of me!¡±

    Dust Ball¡¯s screams echoed throughout Zhao Yao¡¯s head as he continued to empty the cat litter box from her stomach. He then ced them on top of the shelves.

    He even installed an air suction fan on the ceiling to remove any foul smell from spreading into the rest of the caf¨¦.

    ¡°Hmm, I should better buy two more air fresheners and air filters. If there is no air flow, and Mango suddenly had diarrhea, it would be quite a disaster.¡±

    Currently, not all the cat litter box in the toilet were automatic self-cleaning cat litter box. He intended to change all of them once business picked up.

    He was not worried about the cats¡¯ health because of the superior cat food that they were fed with and Elizabeth¡¯s power ¨C Celestial Beats.

    While he was thinking about all these, it seemed like the cat caf¨¦ was finally ready for business. Suddenly, the words on the mission panel changed once again.

 Chapter 75: Shower (1)

    <h4>Chapter 75: Shower (1)</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao had finallypleted the mission to open a cat caf¨¦ within three months. With the fully furnished caf¨¦ right before his eyes, the mission disappeared from the mission panel.

    Zhao Yao also received 30 experience points from it. Suddenly, Zhao Yao realized that he could flip to a new page in his BOOK ¨C diamond hall.

    Diamond hall allowed Zhao Yao to exchange diamonds which he had earned from missions for useful items. Currently, he had amassed a total of 40 diamonds. He finally understood what these diamonds were for.

    There were two types of items avable in diamond hall. The first is an ¡°X2 Exp Card¡± which could be used on his BOOK or cats. As the name suggested, the experience points earned for the day would double.

    The second item was a ¡°Power Up Card¡± which allowed Zhao Yao to increase the power of his abilities.

    Both cards cost one diamond to purchase.

    Zhao Yao was exhrated to see these cards. Even though both Match and Elizabeth¡¯s power were considered powerful, he could now depend on his BOOK to increase his individual power.

    With more and more supercats and apostles appearing in Jiangmen city, he urgently needed to get stronger.

    Feeding Matcha and Elizabeth with the Michelin-starred cat rice he had prepared, the experience points earned had increased by ten times. If he used the ¡°X2 Exp Card¡± on them, the experience points earned would double again on top of it.

    If he used it on both his cats and the BOOK, and add the experience points earned from the BOOK on his cats, the experience points gained would increase by four times.

    When he recalled that he had yet toplete the daily mission for the day, and he had not fed the cats, Zhao Yao immediately bought 2 ¡°X2 Exp Cards¡± and used them on Matcha and his BOOK.

    The BOOK earned 20 experience points from the daily missions while Matcha earned 20 experience points from the Michelin-starred cat rice.

    His book now wrote:

    Book: Lv2(426/1000)

    Diamond: 38

    Pet(1/2):Matcha

    Grade:Lv3(168/1000)

    Loyalty: 100

    Ability: Timefreeze, ability duration 6 seconds, cooldown time 6 seconds

    At this rate, both the BOOK and Matcha would level up in no time.

    Zhao Yao was happily scanning through the rest of the content in diamond hall. He thought, ¡°It¡¯s such a shame that I can only earn one diamond from each daily mission. I will have to use them sparingly when I¡¯m left with fewer than 20 diamonds.By then, I won¡¯t be able to use the ¡®X2 Exp Cards¡¯ every day.¡±

    Zhao Yao flipped over to the new mission on the mission panel after he finished reading the contents of diamond hall.

    Mission: Clean your cats before they can interact with your customers!

    Objective: Bathe at least ten cats before the official opening of your cat caf¨¦

    Reward: Each cat you bathed will earn you a different amount of experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    Zhao Yao¡¯s face turned purple when he saw his new mission.

    ¡°It expects me to bathe my cats?¡± Zhao Yao understood the implications and dangers when you bathed a cat.

    Cats originated from the vast desert. Because of that, cats had developed an inherent fear and even dislike of water.

    Most cats were rather docile. However, if you tried to bathe it, their inner Hulks will be unleashed as they would retaliate violently and even tried to bite or scratch its owner.

    It would be close to impossible for regr cat owners to bathe their cats.

    For Zhao Yao¡¯s case, it would not be as problematic as he had the power of illusion and time freeze in his hands. However, it would be a tall order to bathe his supercats.

    But Zhao Yao would do anything to earn more experience points. As he was thinking about the potential experience points that he would receive, his lips curled into a smile unknowingly.

    Suddenly, all the supercats felt chills down their spine as though winter wasing.

    Zhao Yao immediately instructed Elizabeth, ¡°I suddenly thought of something, can you get all the cats back home first?¡±

    Elizabeth thought that it was a somewhat strange request but still went along with his instructions.

    Shi Yu was also perplexed by Zhao Yao¡¯s sudden change of instructions and asked, ¡°What happened? Why are you bringing them back?¡±

    ¡°Hmm, there was something which I have forgotten to do back at home,¡± Zhao Yao chuckled and instructed Baiquan, ¡°You can use this time to familiarise yourself with this ce. You will be starting work from tomorrow onwards. Do you have a house? If not, you cane over and stay at mine.¡±

    Zhao Yao was thrilled to have Baiquan as freebor. It was not that easy to get someone to do your household chores and clean the cat¡¯s litter box for free.

    Baiquan nodded his head repeatedly when he heard that he could stay with Zhao Yao. He announced, ¡°I will move over to your house tomorrow!¡±

    ¡°Since I provide free food and lodging for you, I¡¯ll only decide on your wages after your probation period,¡± Zhao Yao chortled as he patted Baiquan on his shoulders and continued, ¡°I expect big things from you.¡± Zhao Yao left Baiquan jumping for joy back at the caf¨¦.

    Shi Yu nced towards Zhao Yao with twenty-two cats marching neatly behind him. She wondered, ¡°Which one is the supercat?¡±

    She thought that Zhao Yao was just a regr apostle with one supercat. Little did she know about Zhao Yao¡¯s true identity.

    ...

    Once they were back home, Zhao Yao started by carrying one stray cat into the toilet.

    The cat sensed that something was amiss and started to meow pitifully in Zhao Yao¡¯s arms.

    ¡°Who¡¯s a good cat? You will be so clean after a good, nice bath,¡± Zhao Yao did not dare to gamble on whether the cat was afraid of water or whether it will attack Zhao Yao. A glimmer of red light shed across his eyes, and he had used Elizabeth¡¯s power to take control of the cat¡¯s body.

    The whole process of showering, shampooing and blow-drying the cat went smoothly.

    It was fortunate that he had some cat shampoo left at home. He bought it before Matcha had awakened his superpower. He tried to bathe Matcha once but ended up with scratches all over his arms. From then on, he gave up on the thought of bathing Matcha.

    With Elizabeth¡¯s power, the cat was quietly standing there, allowing Zhao Yao to bathe it. It was a lot more straightforward than Zhao Yao¡¯s first attempt with Matcha.

    Zhao Yao discovered that he had earned ten experience points from bathing the cat.

    ¡°So I get ten experience points from a normal cat? Hmm, this is probably because of my ¡®2x Exp Card¡¯.¡±

    Seeing his experience points grew steadily, Zhao Yao was encouraged to give the rest of the cats a bath. He gave the remaining 17 ordinary cats, including Mango, a bath in one go.

    The eighteen cats only gave him a total 180 experience points. It was time to move on to the supercats which had higher bounties.

    When Zhao Yao walked out of the toilet with Mango in his arms, he looked around and noticed that all of the supercats were missing.

    Matcha, Roly Poly, Elizabeth and Dust Ball had all disappeared. Zhao Yao searched every nook and crannies of the apartment but still could not find the cats.

    He smirked, ¡°Are you trying to y hide and seek with me?¡±

 Chapter 76: Shower (2)

    <h4>Chapter 76: Shower (2)</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    The doors and windows were shut which meant that the cats did not escape from the apartment.

    ¡°I guess the four of you can just hide here for the rest of the day?¡± Zhao Yao said with a sarcastic tone, ¡°But if I managed to find you, your punishment would be much worse than a simple bath.¡±

    Roly Poly, which was hiding underneath the sofa, trembled in fear when he heard Zhao Yao¡¯s voice.

    Roly Poly shouted at the other cats via telepathy, ¡°What are we going to do now? Zhao Yao is going to kill us if he finds us.¡±

    ¡°What are you afraid of?¡± Matcha replied, ¡°There is only one of him against the four of us.¡±

    ¡°But he¡¯s not any human; he¡¯s Zhao Yao!¡± Roly Poly protested violently, ¡°Look at yourself, your legs are shaking so badly that you cannot even stand still, and yet you talk like you¡¯re so high and mighty!¡±

    ¡°Stop talking,¡± Elizabeth, which was hiding behind them, interrupted, ¡°Even Zhao Yao will find it hard to locate us with my power of illusionbined with Roly Poly¡¯s power of invisibility. We just have to hide here.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not going to surrender without a fight!¡± Dust Ball was screaming at the top of her lungs as she was cradled in Zhao Yao¡¯s arms. She could not escape despite how much she struggled. Zhao Yao calmly brought her to the toilet.

    When the first drop of water made contact with Dust Ball¡¯s fur, she exploded in continuous shrieks and howls as she desperately fought against Zhao Yao. It was just a simple shower. However, in her eyes, bathing was as good as getting ughtered. Her dreadful howls were etched at the back of the supercats¡¯ heads.

    Zhao Yao shook his head as he saw the anger emanating from Dust Ball¡¯s eyes after the shower. It seemed like she wanted to kill him.

    Roly Poly¡¯s body started to shake even more violently when he heard Dust Ball¡¯s screams.

    ¡°Dust Ball, you are such an idiot, why did you even bother fighting against Zhao Yao? You should have gone into hiding with the rest of us!¡±

    Matcha was shaking all over his body as his eyes shed with indignance and anger. He announced, ¡°We cannot continue hiding like this, we must start retaliating against Zhao Yao with all that we have! Are we going to be cowards for the rest of our lives? It¡¯s time to defeat him and make him our pet!¡±

    ¡°But...¡± Elizabeth stammered as she tried to convince Matcha against it.

    Matcha continued, ¡°Zhao Yao has lots of money in his bank. After defeating him, we can withdraw the money from his bank, and I¡¯ll buy you a VIP membership so you can watch Game of Thrones without the annoying ads! You can watch all sorts of movies online!¡±

    Elizabeth¡¯s breathing turned rapid when she heard Matcha¡¯s proposal.

    Matcha turned around to Roly Poly, ¡°As long as we defeat Matcha, you can eat anything that you desire. You can have Macdonalds for breakfast, KFC for lunch and even Burger King for dinner. No one can stop you.¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s eyes instantly turned red as if he was a starving cat which had not eaten for the past few days.

    Matcha was also engrossed in his imagination and thought, ¡°I can buy all of the game skins in Mobile Legend!¡±

    ¡°Defeat Zhao Yao and be his owner!¡±

    ¡°Make him our ve!¡±

    ¡°Eat fried chicken every day!¡±

    ¡°Buy diamonds in Mobile Legends.¡±

    ¡°Watch movies without ads!¡±

    All three cats experienced an adrenaline rush as they were getting ready for a showdown against Zhao Yao.

    However, at the exact moment, a giant invisible hand had grabbed onto Roly Poly¡¯s body.

    ¡°What happened?¡± Roly Poly¡¯s body froze temporarily as a disastrous thought shed through his head.

    Immediately, Roly Poly was pulled by the invisible hand out from underneath the sofa.

    ¡°Meow!¡± Roly Poly continued screaming to no avail. Upon witnessing this, Matcha and Elizabeth immediately fled the scene. The fighting spirit that they had disyed had vanished.

    Both cats started to engage in a frantic discussion via telepathy.

    ¡°What happened? What was Roly Poly captured by?¡±

    ¡°It must have been Zhao Yao. He used my power of invisibility to hide and went around searching for us!¡±

    Both Matcha and Elizabeth found a new hiding spot underneath a cab. Before long, they heard Zhao Yao¡¯s voice inching towards them again.

    ¡°So you¡¯re still noting out? Matcha? Elizabeth?¡±

    Suddenly, the entire room turned into total darkness except for the two cats.

    ¡°Sh*t!¡± Matcha knew that it was a bad sign.

    Zhao Yao had cast an illusion on all the living matter in the room. In their eyes, all the non-living matter had been enveloped in pitch darkness.

    Only Elizabeth¡¯s power of illusion could counter Zhao Yao¡¯s power. She immediately turned Matcha and herself invisible to prevent Zhao Yao from seeing them.

    However, the cats¡¯ silhouette had a distinct contrast to the darkness which they were surrounded in.

    ¡°Finally found you!¡± A massive hand came flying towards Elizabeth. At the moment when Elizabeth was caught, Matcha had already teleported away. He had used his power of time freeze to make his escape.

    So you think you can escape?¡± Zhao Yao sneered. Suddenly, many Zhao Yao appeared out of thin air and dashed towards Matcha altogether.

    Matcha was terrified as he tried to escape from the countless Zhao Yaos. Zhao Yao had carefully positioned the fake Zhao Yaos in a manner that Matcha would avoid them and run straight to the real Zhao Yao¡¯s hands.

    He had finally captured all four supercats and decided to bathe all four of them at one go.

    ...

    Bam! A meaty paw mmed on the ss door in Zhao Yao¡¯s shower. Roly Poly opened his mouth to let out a scream before getting dragged back by Zhao Yao. He was frantically scratching against the floor as shower gel was poured onto his fat belly.

    ¡°I don¡¯t care! I¡¯m not getting a bath!¡± The world turned into a standstill after Matcha¡¯s thunderous roar. Before he even managed to take a step out of the shower, Zhao Yao had already stopped him.

    ¡°You don¡¯t have a choice,¡± Zhao Yao replied as he poured bath gel onto Matcha¡¯s back.

    Meanwhile, Dust Ball was busy sucking all the water into her belly.

    ¡°Dust Ball! Do you know how expensive is our utility bill?¡± Zhao Yao retorted before he activated Elizabeth¡¯s power and took control of Dust Ball¡¯s body.

    Elizabeth looked at the water all over her body and fear shed across her eyes immediately. Out of the four cats, Elizabeth was the most afraid of water.

    After two hours of struggle, Zhao Yao finally managed to bath the four supercats. He heaved a sigh of relief as he finished blow-drying thest cat.

    The four cats dashed into their individual corners the moment they were released from the toilet. They began grooming themselves as they licked the fur on their body. Zhao Yao started tough as he knew that this process would take at least an hour. It might even take Elizabeth 2 hours for her long fur.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s smile turned brighter when he saw the experience pointed gained.

    Roly Poly offered the least resistance during the process, and Zhao Yao earned twenty experience points from himit. Even though Dust Ball struggled aggressively against Zhao Yao, her tiny frame was quickly restrained by Zhao Yao. Hence, Zhao Yao earned another thirty experience points.

    Elizabeth did not stop struggling even after she was captured. She began to use her illusion and even vomited during her bath. Zhao Yao had to clear up everything. Her long fur required Zhao Yao to spend the longest time to blow-dry her. Zhao Yao earned forty experience points from it.

    Bathing Matcha was definitely the hardest out of the four. Whenever Zhao Yao was distracted by the other cats, Matcha would use his power of time freeze to escape. However, Zhao Yao managed to restrain him every time. From this, Zhao Yao earned fifty experience points.

    Apart from the 180 experience points earned from the eighteen stray cats, Zhao Yao earned 140 experience points from his supercats, which totaled to 320 experience points. With the power of the ¡°2X Exp Card¡±, the experience points skyrocketed to 640 instantly.

    Suddenly there were new changes in his BOOK:

    Book: lv 2(1066/1000)

    He had two choices: either level up his BOOK or add the points to Matcha and level up Matcha instead.

 Chapter 77: The Decision

    <h4>Chapter 77: The Decision</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao was in a dilemma.

    If he upgraded either Matcha or Elizabeth, there would be a significant increase in hisbat power.

    If he upgraded his BOOK, he would be able to wield the third power. He was definitely not adding Roly Poly¡¯s ability which could be easily reced by Elizabeth¡¯s power of illusion.

    However, Dust Ball¡¯s power would be handy. It was a power which Zhao Yao craved for.

    Furthermore, a lvl 3 book would allow Zhao Yao to earn the power of ¡°Two is better than one¡± from Elizabeth, which meant a boost in strength, speed, and agility.

    Elizabeth was arger and physically stronger cat than Matcha. Hence, the effects of ¡®Two is better than one¡¯ would be even more pronounced.

    But the increase in hisbat power would not be as noticeable as directly upgrading Matcha.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s lips curled into a smile when he saw the words on his mission panel.

    ¡°Oh yeah, I still have my main missions. My main missions are currently at level 3. The reward for adopting the third supercat is five hundred experience points. With the effect of ¡°2X Exp Card¡± in y, I would instantly receive one thousand experience points.¡±

    ¡°In other words, I would be able to upgrade Matcha after I upgrade my BOOK.¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately upgraded his book by tapping the upgrade button on it. He immediately felt an enhancement in his sensory abilities. He also felt a familiar presence in the air. Part of Elizabeth had been injected into his body.

    Boom! All the cells in his body seemed to have exploded simultaneously.

    When Zhao Yao regained consciousness, he was already drenched in sweat and was kneeling on the floor. The other cats were staring at him curiously.

    Matcha asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, are you menstruating?¡±

    Dust Ball dashed forward, ¡°I¡¯ll take you down since you are sick.¡±

    ¡°Get lost,¡± Zhao Yao pped Dust Ball across her face and sent her flying towards Matcha.

    Zhao Yao took a deep breath before he struggled to stand again. When he took a look around the room, it was like looking through a 4K television screen.

    With the bonus strength of ¡®Two is better than one¡¯, Zhao Yao not only experienced an increase in speed and strength, his sensory abilities were enhanced to the point that was beyond human.

    When a fly flew across his eyes, his improved sensory ability allowed him to track the fly¡¯s movement as if it was in slow-motion. With a swing of his hand, he already had the fly firmly clenched in his fist.

    When he loosened his grip, the fly escaped from his clutches and continued to fly in the original direction.

    With a twitch of his nose, he realized that he could differentiate the scents between Matcha, Elizabeth, Dust Ball, Roly Poly and Mango.

    He did a backflip, cartwheel, somersault, and handstand before he returned to his original position. His reaction was simr to when Peter Parker discovered his power.

    ¡°The increase in strength is just a small part ... The most important thing is the improvement in my sensory abilities, nimbleness, agility, and flexibility. This would be a great boost to mybat strength.¡±

    There was a smile on his face as he put his new ¡°body¡± to the test. Even though his strength was stillparable to the average human, his nimbleness, agility, and flexibility had greatly surpassed them. He could perform stunts that only acrobats and gymnasts were capable of.

    The writings on the book changed again.

    Book: lvl3(66/2000)

    Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the number, ¡°Thankfully the experience points required did not increase by ten times again. 2000 experience points were still manageable.¡±

    ¡°The next thing to do is ...¡± Zhao Yao turned his head to Dust Ball and fixed his eyes on her.

    The palm-sized ck cat noticed Zhao Yao¡¯s stare and knew something was wrong. She stood up and tried to escape but found herself trapped in Zhao Yao¡¯s hands in a sh.

    ¡°Stupid Zhao Yao! Let go of me!¡±

    Zhao Yao caressed the fur on her belly. After using the shampoo, the fur was softer than usual. They felt like ck silk in his hand.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you feel so much morefortable after the bath?¡± Zhao Yao ced his finger in Dust Ball¡¯s mouth and said, ¡°Quick, bite me.¡±

    Dust Ball stopped struggling and looked at Zhao Yao with a suspicious look, ¡°What evil ns are you hatching?¡±

    ¡°No evil ns,¡± Zhao Yao continued, ¡°Bite me; I thought you have always dreamt of biting me?¡±

    Dust Ball shut her lips because she knew that Zhao Yao had hatched an evil n in his head. Even when Zhao Yao pressed his finger to her lips, her lips remained tightly shut.

    Zhao Yao was left with no choice but to activate Elizabeth¡¯s power. He took control of Dust Ball¡¯s body and bit his finger.

    With the bite marks freshly imprinted on Zhao Yao¡¯s finger, Dust Ball had been officially registered in the BOOK, and she had be Zhao Yao¡¯s third supercat.

    Zhao Yao also earned 1000 experience points forpleting his main mission.

    His book now wrote:

    Book: Lv3(1066/2000)

    Pet(3/3):Dust Ball

    Grade:Lv1(0/10)

    Loyalty: 30

    Power: Extradimensional belly, it could absorb all non-living matter within the radius of 5 meters into another dimension. It could absorb up to 1.5 ton of non-living matter in a day. Living matter could choose to enter the dimension if they wished to.

    ¡°Extradimensional belly? That¡¯s a cool power.¡± Zhao Yao started smiling when he was reading the description of his new power.

    It was time to test it on the cup in his kitchen. He finally seeded after failing three times consecutively.

    Everything was as per described in the BOOK. By opening his mouth, he could trigger his power by thinking about it. In an instant, everything which he would like to absorb would be sucked into his extradimensional belly.

    Because it was a shared power between Zhao Yao and Dust Ball, objects they absorbed were transported to the same dimension.

    This meant that he was able to expel the items which Dust Ball had absorbed and vice versa.

    The words beneath the main mission changed again. To reach level four on the main mission, he had to adopt a fourth supercat. The reward for this task would be five hundred experience points.

    Looking at the 1066 experience points avable in his BOOK, Zhao Yao decided to add ten points to Dust Ball, upgrading it to level 2. It chose the option which would allow Dust Ball to increase the capacity of her extradimensional belly to absorb 3 tons worth of items.

    Currently, Zhao Yao had 1056 experience points left in his BOOK.

    Both Matcha and Elizabeth were level 3(168/1000)

    Meanwhile, Dust Ball was level 2(0/100)

    Zhao Yao thought about it for a moment before he allocated one hundred experience points from the BOOK to Dust Ball, upgrading it to level 3. From the options avable, Zhao Yao chose to increase the reach of her power, stretching the radius to 8 meters.

    Instantly, Dust Ball had leveled up from level 1 to level 3. The remaining experience points from the BOOK were enough to upgrade either Matcha or Elizabeth to level 4.

    Looking at the BOOK in his hand, Zhao Yao did not hesitate and pumped the remaining experience points into Matcha.

    Instantly, the experience points avable in the book had plummeted to 124. However, Matcha had leveled up to level 4 (0/2000)

    Level 4 Matcha had a new ability branch which Zhao Yao could choose from.

    The first ability was Time Explosion. Every day, it allowed Zhao Yao to double the duration of the longest time freeze once.

    The second power was Time Distortion. This allowed Zhao Yao to recover from the injury he had sustainedpletely. However, it could only be activated once per day. It could also be activated passively if Zhao Yao died.

    Zhao Yao knew the danger present in Jiangmen City and immediately chose Time Distortion. Even if he were killed by someone from the cat thief organization, he would automatically be revived. It was as good as a game bug.

    Zhao Yao was exhrated to have this power; it was as good as having two lives.

    Zhao Yao felt so much more confident to deal with the bad guys in Jiangmen City after acquiring the power.

    ¡°Hmm, I should probably use Matcha¡¯s ability for the majority of the time, since it can guarantee my safety. The other abilities should be left to Elizabeth and Dust Ball to control.¡±

    After the series of upgrades, Zhao Yao had acquired time distortion, ¡°two is better than one¡± from Elizabeth, increased the capacity and reach of Dust Ball¡¯s extradimensional belly, and upgraded Dust Ball to level 3.

    This series of updates had made Zhao Yao far stronger than before.

    Zhao Yao could not help butughed when he saw the loyalty level on the BOOK.

    Dust Ball¡¯s loyalty was a meager 30 points, and both Matcha and Elizabeth¡¯s loyalty had dropped by three points. This was possibly due to the shower saga.

    Zhao Yao treated this very seriously as it would affect the sess rate of Zhao Yao activating the cats¡¯ power.

    Zhao Yao understood that the cats would be somewhat depressed after their baths. Hence, he decided to cheer them up by rewarding them with some canned food. He hoped that his bribery would be able to salvage the loyalty points lost.

    Elizabeth and Matcha rushed over to Zhao Yao, eagerly anticipating the canned food in his hands.

    They have grown sick of eating cat rice every day and were excited to see a change.

    Even though cat rice was beneficial for their health, it was natural for them to grow sick of it. The canned food in his hands immediately bought over Matcha and Elizabeth¡¯s hearts.

    Matcha instantly devoured the contents of the canned food.

    Elizabeth muttered as she polished off the food. A crisp and clear voice rang in Zhao Yao¡¯s head, ¡°Don¡¯t think I have forgiven you for just this food. I abhor bath. If you ever make me do it again, I¡¯m going to control you and make you run around naked.¡±

    ¡°Eat slowly, have you forgotten about your ss stomach?¡±

    Seeing the contented looks on their face turned Zhao Yao¡¯s lips into a smile. The loyalty points for both Matcha and Elizabeth had both reverted to 100.

    ¡°It¡¯s so easy to bribe them. Even though Elizabeth would not admit it, she had already forgiven me,¡± Zhao Yao thought as he nced over to Roly Poly and Dust Ball which were on the side.

    Roly Poly was genuinely uninterested in the canned food, but he was not Zhao Yao¡¯s target.

    Dust Ball was still angry over Zhao Yao¡¯s actions and was unwilling toe over. However, Zhao Yao knew how to handle it when he saw her nose twitched from time to time.

    He brought over the turkey mutton can and presented it to Dust Ball.

    Dust Ball was extremely fidgety, and it was evident that she had a difficult time controlling her body.

    Zhao Yao ced the can right below her nose and stared at Dust Ball, ¡°You don¡¯t feel like eating?¡±

    Dust Ball red at him which reminded Zhao Yao of a pit viper¡¯s slit-like pupils. After taking in a few deep breaths, the anger which emanated from her eyes intensified.

    Zhao Yao shook his head and understood that Dust Ball was still throwing a tantrum and was unwilling to eat it in front of Zhao Yao. Hence, he left the canned food there and left.

    After Zhao Yao¡¯s departure, Dust Ball tried to control itself for another one or two minutes. However, she gave up and swallowed everything inside the can. She was so happy that she grinned from ear to ear.

    Zhao Yao was hiding behind the door when the scene unfolded. He went to check his BOOK but was disappointed to find out that her loyalty had only increased by one point.

    ¡°This is too slow,¡± Zhao Yao scratched his chin as he remarked. He thought, ¡°I muste up with something to find out what Dust Ball likes.¡±

    He then fished out the old phone which Matcha used. Since Zhao Yao changed to his new iPhone, he had passed his current phone over to Matcha. Currently, no one was using Zhao Yao¡¯s old phone. Zhao Yao decided to hand it over to Dust Ball and taught her how to operate the phone.

    However, Dust Ball did not seem interested in the phone. After using for a while out of curiosity, she gave up on the phone and started ying with Mango.

    Compared to Matcha and Elizabeth which were domestic cats, stray cats like Dust Ball preferred sports and outdoor activities.

    Zhao Yao pondered over Dust Ball¡¯s possible interests.

    The next day, Zhao Yao brought the cats to the cat caf¨¦. He began assembling the newly-delivered automatic self-cleaning cat litter box with Shi Yu.

    There was a few more furniture which would being in today. Once they were in, Zhao Yao could open the caf¨¦ for business the next day.

    Shi Yu asked Zhao Yao while she was cleaning the countertop, ¡°Baiquan ... does he know about the existence of supercats?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought about it and replied, ¡°Hmm, he doesn¡¯t. You can just treat him like a regr cleaningdy.

    ¡°Huh?¡± Shi Yu continued, ¡°In that case, you need to give him a sry.¡±

    ¡°Nope, he¡¯s a very kind-hearted individual. He volunteered to do this,¡± Zhao Yao replied. He had never considered giving Baiquan a sry.

    Since inviting him over the previous time, Zhao Yao had lent Roly Poly¡¯s power of invisibility to him every day. The confidence Baiquan had in Zhao Yao allowed Zhao Yao to transfer even more power as the day passed.

    As long as Baiquan reported to work, Zhao Yao would technically have an assistant who possessed the power of invisibility.

    Even though they had made a pact never tomit any crimes with his power, Zhao Yao was confident Baiquan would be able to earn some money without doing anything illegal.

    Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and a red-haired woman entered. She wore a gold-rimmed ss, and her waist was as thick as a water barrel.

    Zhao Yao raised his head and replied, ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, but we only open for business starting from tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯m just here to take a look,¡± the red-haired woman pushed open the gate and entered the hall as if it were her caf¨¦.

    Zhao Yaomented, ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, but you have to put on the shoe covers before entering.¡±

    The woman seemed a little annoyed and said, ¡°My shoes aren¡¯t dirty, I don¡¯t think there is a need to put on the shoe covers.¡±

    A frown appeared on Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he retorted, ¡°You will pollute the environment in the caf¨¦. Go and put on the shoe cover before you enter.¡±

    The woman finally relented, albeit a little unwillingly, as she walked back and put on the shoe covers from the cab.

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°There is some hand sanitizer on the cab. You also have to disinfect your hands.¡±

    The woman groaned and mumbled, ¡°How troublesome.¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao thought, ¡°It seems like I have to install a lock on the gate.¡±

    The woman walked around the hall and looked at the cats which were crawling along the kitty expressway and ying in the kitty tower. She nodded her head and asked, ¡°Oh, so customers can have a cup of coffee while ying with the cats.¡±

    Shi Yu sensed that Zhao Yao was getting a little impatient and replied on his behalf, ¡°Yes. You can y with the cats as long as you order one cup of drink.¡±

    The woman continued nodding her head andmented, ¡°I also have cats at home. However, the cats at your caf¨¦ are all stray cats. There are only a handful of pedigrees. What¡¯s so fun about this?¡±

    Zhao Yao seemed irritated by her response as Shi Yuughed awkwardly and replied, ¡°They are all rather affectionate, they are as affectionate as pedigrees.¡±

    The woman did not seem to agree with Shi Yu¡¯s words as she walked towards the bar counter and saw the menu on the wall.

    She gasped andmented, ¡°It¡¯s so expensive. This is as good as daylight robbery.¡±

    The menu included the prices for beverages such as Latte, Caff¨¨ Americano, Caff¨¨ Mocha and othermonly seen drinks.

    However, the prices were a few time more expensive than usual cafes. The price range was between 100 RMB and 120 RMB.

    The woman pointed at the menu and remarked, ¡°Are you guys crazy? One cup of coffee for 100 RMB? Is your coffee made of gold?¡±

    Shi Yu wanted to exin the reason behind it, but Zhao Yao was growing extremely impatient. He stated, ¡°This is the average price for a cup of coffee in a cat caf¨¦. The money that you pay is not only for the coffee; you are also paying for our service and the opportunity to y with the cats.

    If you can¡¯t afford it, it simply means you are not our intended customer. You may take your leave.¡±

    ¡°You!¡± That was not the answer the woman had expected. Her face turned red then purple and shouted, ¡°You¡¯re just trying to cheat our money! The stray cats in your caf¨¦ can be found all over the neighboring districts, and you expect me to pay 100 RMB for that? You might as well go and rob a bank instead! I will never buy coffee from your caf¨¦...¡±

    ¡°Get lost.¡±

    The woman¡¯s lips curled in disgust after hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s words. A glimmer of red light shed across his face. Suddenly, the woman felt as though she had lost control of her body and she started walking towards the exit of the caf¨¦ involuntarily.

    Shi Yu did not notice the anomaly with the woman. She just smiled andmented, ¡°I don¡¯t think that¡¯s the best way to treat your first customer.¡± After all, she had one year of experience in the sales sector. Zhao Yao¡¯s disrespectful treatment towards the customer was an out of bounds behavior for all salesperson.

    Zhao Yao shrugged his shoulders and replied, ¡°It¡¯s okay, and people like her will nevere to our caf¨¦ and buy anything from us. If any customeres in with a simr attitude, just chase them away.¡±

    Shi Yuughed in response, but she thought, ¡°No businessman will ever chase a customer away.¡±

    After taking a few steps out of the cat caf¨¦, the woman had regained control of her body. She stared at her body in shock, ¡°How did I ... How did I walk out of the caf¨¦? Was I possessed?¡± She turned around and stared at the caf¨¦ behind her. She wanted to return and reason with Zhao Yao but gave up the thought eventually.

    ¡°Hmm, his business will not be here for long. Why should I even bother reasoning with him?¡±

    She then continued walking towards the shopping mall.

    Shi Yu focused on the menu and realized that what the woman said did make some sense. She told Zhao Yao, ¡°Zhao Yao, is our price a little too expensive?¡±

    ¡°How is this expensive?¡± Zhao Yao continued, ¡°Our coffees are freshly brewed, and you get to y with 22 cats. This experience is definitely worth more than 100 RMB.¡±

    Shi Yu was left speechless by Zhao Yao¡¯s response. She scanned the boxes of Nestle coffee lying on top of the bar counter and thought, ¡°You don¡¯t even have a coffeemaker, and how are you ready for tomorrow¡¯s grand opening ...¡±

    After this period of interaction, Shi Yu began to understand Zhao Yao a little better.

    Zhao Yao was quite a miser when it came to minor things in his caf¨¦, contrary to how he behaved when he bought his house and car.

    However, she did not know that the bulk of Zhao Yao¡¯s saving had evaporated because of the money he had spent on his cats.

    Shi Yu¡¯s face curled into a smile, as she proposed, ¡°How about we do some promotional event? Maybe we can offer our beverages at a discounted price or even have a buy 1 get 1 free promotion?¡±

    ¡°We don¡¯t need it,¡± Zhao Yao immediately shot down the suggestion, ¡°I¡¯m telling you, the price in our caf¨¦ will only go up and never go down. I¡¯m going to do a stock check on our ice inventory. In the future, if the customers order any chilled beverage, add as much ice as possible.

    Hmm, try to increase the temperature too. That way, they will be more inclined to buy a chilled beverage.¡±

    Shi Yu was astounded by what she had heard, and she secretly agreed with what the woman had mentioned earlier.

    ¡°We truly are a caf¨¦ which is out to cheat the customer¡¯s money.¡±

    However, Zhao Yao did not agree with it. He understood the power of Celestial Beats and how muchfort it would bring to the customers. It was like having a fire to keep you warm during the cold winter.

    Your organs, skeletons, and muscles would be freed from the pressure of working day and night, and finally, be allowed to rest. Zhao Yao knew that everyone would love it.

    However, he was afraid that Celestial Beats might attract too much unwanted attention.

    Hence, he began writing a few words on a giant cardboard.

    Shi Yu curiously went to Zhao Yao to take a peep at what he was writing. She could not help but rolled her eyes when she saw the content.

    It wrote:

    This shop employed the state-of-the-art technology from MIT. Bybining the Chinese principle of Leiyin and the maized marrow and nano-bones present in the cat¡¯s body, the cats were able to radiate an electromaic wave which would be beneficial to your health.

    The human body would be exposed to this radiation when you are ying with the cats. It would improve your immunity, endocrine system, and your physical health condition. You would feel like you had reborn after leaving our cafe.

    Shi Yu did not believe a word Zhao Yao wrote and thought, ¡°Isn¡¯t this pseudo-science? I¡¯m sure he made all this up, even an elementary student would see through his lie.¡±

    However, Shi Yu did not care about it. In her eyes, this was the government¡¯s effort to prevent the apostles frommitting any atrocities. He could continue doing whatever he liked as long as he did not hurt anyone.

    An idea suddenly sprang in Shi Yu¡¯s head, ¡°Wait, Zhao Yao is an apostle; don¡¯t tell me this is his ability?¡± She suddenly grew very curious as to what his power was, which made Zhao Yao so confident about his cat caf¨¦¡¯s business.

    ¡°Maybe he has the power to brew a perfect cup of coffee?¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, the red-haired woman had stepped foot in another caf¨¦ on the other end of the shopping mall.

    It was far superior to Zhao Yao¡¯s caf¨¦ in terms of its furnishing, size, ambiance, equipment and even the service of the staff.

    When the woman entered the caf¨¦, it was packed with customers. 7 or 8 college students were even queueing up for their coffee.

    This caf¨¦ had been the most popr caf¨¦ in the college town. Its modern design coupled with a wide variety of coffee that was reasonably priced had attracted teachers and students over in drove.

    The woman chuckled as she saw the bustling business in the caf¨¦. She was the owner of this caf¨¦.

    A waiter approached the woman and asked, ¡°Ms. Mayer how is ourpetition?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s just a caf¨¦ run by a bunch of rookies, they willst for at most three months,¡± Ms. Mayer replied nonchntly, she continued, ¡°Furthermore, and our styles are opposites, so there¡¯s nothing for us to worry.¡±

    The next day, Zhao Yao¡¯s cafe was officially open for business.

    He was in the store by early morning, along with Shi Yu and Baiquan. The three of them were wearing the tailor-made, albeit cheap, ck-and-white uniforms he ordered from TaoBao.

    It was at exactly eight a.m. that morning when an update appeared in the mission panel.

    Monthly Mission: Grand Openings Require Hard Work Too

    Objective: Make a profit from the cat cafe by the end of the month

    Reward: Gain 100 experience points for every RMB 50,000 profit earned (all points will be added to your ount at the end of the month)

    Punishment: None

    Zhao Yao¡¯s face lit up as he read through the new mission details. This was an excellent opportunity to earn money and experience points at the same time.

    The best part? This was not some one-off mission. It was a recurring one, which meant that he could be raking in lots of cash and points every single month.

    It was perfect.

    ¡°Thank God I kept the operating costs low,¡± he smiled.

    His gaze surveyed the cafe until itnded on Elizabeth, who was elegantly perched on the highest tform of the kitty tower. Her eyes were glued to the television show lighting up her phone screen.

    ¡°Elizabeth,¡± he started, ¡°Turn on Celestial Beats now, won¡¯t you? Do that whenever you¡¯re here. Fill the entire cafe.¡±

    ¡°Got it,¡± Elizabeth replied.

    With an irritated swish of her tail, a wave of inaudible beats gradually fanned across the cafe, reaching every nook and corner.

    The effect was instant. The mood in the cafe was lifted. The air was transformed with an almost ethereal and other-worldly lightness.

    Everyone could feel it. Baiquan, Shi Yu and Zhao Yao were washed over with a sense of rxation like they have never experienced before. Each particle in their bodies was dancing with unadulterated joy. Every ounce of stress was released from them into the air, where it evaporated into nothing.

    ¡°It¡¯s the Hell Aura again!¡± Baiquan beamed.

    Having be a frequent visitor at Zhao Yao¡¯s home, he had grown ustomed to the aura and enjoyed bathing in its glow.

    He once asked what exactly this feeling was. Zhao Yao responded that they were experiencing Hell Aura, which made you stronger the more you spend time in it.

    Of course, Baiquan had no idea that this was aplete lie. Zhao Yao had fabricated it to motivate him to work harder at his house duties.

    ¡°Ah, I get Master Zhao¡¯s master n now,¡± Baiquan pondered, eyes shining with excitement, ¡°He¡¯s opened a cafe here to corrupt college students and spawn thousands of demons! He truly is a cut above my Troll-faced Devil.¡±

    Like Baiquan, Shi Yu was deep in thought as well. The bliss brought by Elizabeth¡¯s Celestial Beats had eased all the tension pent up in her body. A goofy grin was stered on her face. At that moment, she understood why Zhao Yao described the cafe that way on the board by the entrance.

    She moved towards Zhao Yao, smile still in ce.

    ¡°So, this is the power of your supercat?¡± she asked quietly.

    Zhao Yao nodded with a grin.

    ¡°Yes. Don¡¯t tell anyone,¡± he put a finger to his lips.

    Shi Yu nodded in response, her eyes falling onto Matcha, Roly Poly, and Elizabeth. The three of them had arrived at the cafe today with little backpacks swung across their tiny shoulders, each holding a mobile phone. Anyone could see that they were not just normal cats.

    As she watched them, she could not help but wonder if Zhao Yao had more than one supercat.

    ¡°Could all three of them be supercats?¡± she thought.

    She was determined to observe them and find out.

    Dust Ball hadpletely evaded her attention because it had no interest in mobile games and needed no bag to carry a phone.

    Right now, it was busy sniffing around the cafe and rubbing its body against walls, chairs, and tables to mark its territory. These were behaviors it picked up as a stray cat. It had spent so much time on the streets that it could not lose these habits long after being awakened.

    Its territory marking spree was soon interrupted by Zhao Yao, who started briefing all the supercars through their collective consciousness.

    ¡°Remember, do not use your powers openly when you are interacting with customers. Do not show that you are intelligent. And finally, please, please, please, do not use your phones when there are people around. Treat the customers well,¡± he said firmly.

    ¡°No scratching. Definitely no biting,¡± he continued, then turned to Elizabeth, ¡°Elizabeth, you¡¯re in control here. If someone¡¯s about to attack a customer, stop it.¡±

    After the lengthy reminder for the cats, Zhao Yao directed his attention to Baiquan and Shi Yu. He assigned Baiquan as the cashier and Shi Yu as the barista. The two of them worked out how to wait on the customers among themselves.

    With everything ready to go, Zhao Yao could finally slump into a seat at the corner and watched the cats yed.

    For the next 30 minutes, that was all he did. Not a single customer crossed the threshold and stepped foot into the cafe.

    The three of them sat in three separate corners with absolutely nothing to do.

    ¡°C¡¯mon guys, chins up! Business is bound to be slow on the first day. There¡¯ll be customers soon enough,¡± Shu Yu said bracingly.

    Zhao Yao was not worried either. He waspletely confident in the irresistible draw of the Celestial Beats.

    There were other things he had to think about.

    Whipping out his tablet, hey it on the table before him and opened a web browser. A map of Jiangmen city appeared, peppered with various markings. Lines of text appeared when you mouse-over each one.

    ¡°Terrifying ghost captured on camera in East Garden...¡±

    ¡°Carnivores spotted partying in the zoo...¡±

    ¡°Theft at St. Michael¡¯s Hospital...¡±

    Zhao Yao had created this map to consolidate the supernatural events he found frombing through blogs and online forums. He needed to collect intel in order to track the gang of cat thieves that had been causing quite a stir in his city. He might as well get started now since there were no customers to tend to.

    After all, this was the mission he had neglected as he busied himself with the cat cafe business. It was time to pay more attention to it.

    ¡°If only Inspector Ho would tip me off about what¡¯s going. He¡¯s bound to know more about that gang of cat thieves than I do,¡± he thought, rubbing the bottom of his chin absent-mindedly, ¡°But there¡¯s no way he¡¯ll share that kind of info with me.¡±

    *

    Two hourster, a girl with short hair passed the cafe.

    She was wearing a cat t-shirt beneath her suspender romper.

    The girl was Yan Xiao Qing, a sophomore at one of the colleges nearby. She had decided to drop by the shopping strip because there were no sses today.

    Her eyes shone with excitement when she crossed Zhao Yao¡¯s cafe.

    ¡°Cat Haven Coffee House?¡± she wondered, taking a second look, ¡°Could this be a cat cafe?¡±

    Thebined growth of cat ownership and social media usage had caused an explosion of adorable, funny, and sometimes downright amazing, cat photos and live streams online.

    This was great for students like Xiao Qing, who loved cats but could not have one because of strict dorm rules. She liked them so much she needed an outlet to release it. Watching and gushing over cat videos helped with that a little. Visiting a cat cafe to y with actual cats was way better.

    Unfortunately, the nearest cat cafe was hours away, so she resorted to feeding the strays around her neighborhood.

    Until now.

    Xiao Qing pushed the door to the cafe gingerly to reveal a magnificent scene.

    Cats were everywhere. They were rolling around on the floor, chasing each other, or lounging on pieces of furniture.

    She could not help but grin.

    ¡°Wee to Cat Haven Coffee House!¡± Baiquan greeted enthusiastically.

    He rushed forward to Xiao Qing, eager to begin corrupting students and conscripting them to Zhao Yao¡¯s demon army.

    His vision for the cafe waspletely misguided, but it motivated him to work extra hard to win over customers.

    Unfortunately, his exuberance felt more intimidating than inviting to Xiao Qing.

    ¡°Oh, erm, hi,¡± Xiao Qing said meekly, taking in the surroundings.

    Her eyes shone with happiness as she watched them. ¡°There¡¯re so many of them!¡±

    ¡°C¡¯mon, let¡¯s meet them. You¡¯ll just have to put these on and sanitize your hands before you enter the y area,¡± Baiquan smiled, handing his first customer a pair of disposable shoe covers.

    Xiao Qing nodded quickly and did as she was told.

    She held her breath when Baiquan unlocked the gate to the pen and ushered her into...paradise.

    The moment she crossed the gate, her entire body seemed toe to aplete halt. She felt strangely limp but rxed.

    Her vision was full of nothing but cats. They were grooming themselves, ying with toys, and rolling around on the floor. Her heart was full, and she feltpletely at ease. All the stress from school work, aches from gaming for long hours, and even her spinal injury started to float away and dissipate.

    It felt like the world around her had suddenly emptied and grown quiet. All she felt was peace. Xiao Qing thought that these adorable cats were the reason behind this.

    She was not wrong, but she was not quite right either.

    The cats¡¯ cuteness did not rx her. It was the wave of Celestial Beats that hit her the moment she entered the area.

    Xiao Qing was leisurely studying each cat when her attention was captured by one.

    Elizabeth was lying on her side, carefully grooming each of her soft paws.

    Xiao Qing was walking towards Elizabeth before she could register her limbs moving.

    ¡°Oh wow, isn¡¯t this one precious?¡± she cooed, squatting by the table that Elizabeth was on, ¡°Look at the pattern on her forehead, that fluffy neck, this thick fur! It¡¯s a blue-eyed ragdoll, isn¡¯t it? That¡¯s supposed to be really rare!¡±

    Xiao Qing could barely contain her excitement. She had only ever seen cats as beautiful as Elizabeth online. To have a real one within arm¡¯s reach was too much. She absolutely must touch Elizabeth.

    ¡°Oh, sweetheart, you¡¯re so pretty you can win all the beauty contests,¡± she continued, reaching for Elizabeth.

    Elizabeth narrowed her eyes as the girl drew closer but otherwise remained still.

    Xiao Qing took this as a silent invitation to touch the cat. At first, her movements were tentative. She patted Elizabeth on the back, then gently rubbed the top of her head.

    Elizabeth seemed perfectly happy with the attention. She grew limp under her touch, herrge, blue eyes now partially closed in contentment. Xiao Qing practically radiated joy when she noticed this.

    ¡°No wonder ragdolls are called puppy dogs,¡± she thought, ¡°They¡¯re so affectionate and docile, even to a stranger like me!¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s her name?¡± Xiao Qing asked Baiquan, who was standing by the gate, shing his warmest smile.

    ¡°This one¡¯s Elizabeth,¡± he answered promptly.

    Xiao Qing nodded, her eyes still firmly fixed on Elizabeth, who had shifted to lie on her back, tummy exposed.

    She could no longer hold it any longer. She had to get even closer to the cat.

    With a giggle, Xiao Qing buried her face in Elizabeth¡¯s fur. She rubbed the tip of her nose against Elizabeth¡¯s tummy.

    Xiao Qing may be bursting with joy now, but Elizabeth was far from that.

    Her body instantly turned rigid from the overly close contact. She rolled herrge eyes. She was happy to be touched and petted but did not enjoy having someone¡¯s nose in her fur. There was a limit on how much personal space could be invaded.

    Elizabeth was about to push Xiao Qing away when Zhao Yao¡¯s voice shed through her mind.

    ¡°Patience, Elizabeth, patience. Suck it up.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s words caused her to freeze mid-push.

    ¡°You want to keep your phone, right?¡± he continued calmly.

    Elizabeth¡¯s right eye twitched violently. Owning a phone was of absolute importance. It was a portal to every movie and drama series that this world could offer. Elizabeth was seriously deliberating if she could live without one when Xiao Qing¡¯s constant rubs grew more pronounced and annoying.

    Her eye twitched again.

    ¡°Oh, screw it,¡± she thought, cing her paw on the girl, ready to get away from her.

    At that moment, Zhao Yao¡¯s firm voice rang through her head again, ¡°If you treat our customers well, I¡¯ll get you a VIP ount at the end of the month.¡±

    Once again, Elizabeth stopped in her tracks.

    A VIP ount would mean watching an unlimited number of movies without any of those annoyingmercials. She thought longingly at the list of movies she had yet to start on.

    ¡°I have fallen to the temptation of the Devil,¡± she sighed.

    Defeated, Elizabeth fell back onto her back and exposed her tummy.

    ¡°This girl better be done soon,¡± she grimaced.

    Her open bodynguage only served to excite Xiao Qing even more.

    ¡°Oh, Elizabeth, do you like me too? You¡¯re so fluffy, I¡¯m going to die!¡± she eximed, giving the unwilling cat the tightest of hugs.

    She then whipped out her phone and started taking photos.

    This was the beginning of a torturous cycle of photo-taking, excessive cuddling, nose rubbing, then more photos again.

    A look of despise crossed Elizabeth¡¯s face every time Xiao Qing got a bit too close. However, for the VIP ount, she had no choice but to continue tolerating this assault.

    ¡°When will it end?¡± Elizabeth thought, now in utter despair.

    Baiquan, who had been standing by the corner, watching this overwhelming disy of affection, came to Elizabeth¡¯s rescue eventually.

    ¡°Hey, miss? Would you like to order a drink?¡± he asked.

    Xiao Qing looked up, embarrassed.

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry,¡± she apologized, ¡°This ragdoll is just too adorable. I got a bit carried away.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it!¡± Bai Quan nodded before handing her the cafe menu, ¡°Here¡¯s the list of drinks we serve.¡±

    ¡°Thank you,¡± Xiao Qing said politely.

    This was not her first foray into cat cafes, so she knew that they could be quite pricey. Normally, you would have to choose a seat, order a drink, then enter the y area to interact with the cats. On top of drinks, you could also order dessert or buy snacks to feed the cats.

    She did not expect to be surprised when she looked through the menu, but it left her stunned.

    On it was only five or six drinks, each with an exuberant price tag. They were all at least RMB 100, which was easily two times the price of the beverages served at other cat cafes.

    ¡°Can I have atte, please?¡± she said to Baiquan, handing him the menu.

    She leaned back and took in the view before her. She was surrounded by cute cats and feltpletely at peace. Sure, this cafe was expensive, but this was money well spent.

    ¡°Sure thing. How will you be making your payment?¡± Baiquan asked.

    ¡°Do you take Alipay?¡±

    At the other end of the cafe, Zhao Yao was watching this encounter intently, a lopsided grin stered on his face.

    ¡°Seems like appearances almost matter, even if you¡¯re a cat. Elizabeth has the potential to be our little star,¡± he thought, amused.

    He then turned to study the rest of the cafe, which was empty and seemed a little sad. His grin was reced with a thoughtful expression.

    ¡°This can¡¯t do. Even Elizabeth¡¯s Celestial Beats will be useless if no one actuallyes in,¡± he mused, ¡°Maybe we do need to do a bit of advertising and promotion? But that¡¯s going to cost time and money.¡±

    He continued to deliberate his options as his gaze wandered across the cafe.

    That was when his train of thought came to an abrupt halt.

    ¡°Hey, where¡¯s Matcha?¡±

    The cat in question was currently skiving in a small room that was converted into a bathroom for cats. Two shelves filled the room wall-to-wall. They were lined with ten self-cleaning automatic cat toilets.

    Matcha was hidden in the toilet on the highest shelf, rolled-up tissues cramped into both nostrils. All his energy was focused on a heated match of Mobile Legend.

    ¡°Tsk, there¡¯s no way in hell I¡¯m going out there to entertain the guests. Who would want to be molested by unwanted hands and pretend to be aplete idiot? Not me. Not when every penny goes to Zhao Yao,¡± heined.

    ¡°I might as well y games back here,¡± he sniggered.

    So, while Elizabeth and the other cats were molested by unwanted hands out there, Matcha spent the cafe¡¯s first day of business cking in the bathroom.

    As the morning transitioned into the early afternoon, the golden hour for business drew closer.

    Queues have already started to form at Cosy Coffee Cafe.

    At Cat Haven Coffee House, however...

    Two college students stopped by the entrance. They were both incredibly fashionable ¨C the type of girls that you will see on the Instagram Explore page.

    ¡°Hey, is this a new cat cafe?¡± said the girl carrying the smallest of backpacks, ¡°Didn¡¯t Willow post a photo of her at some cat cafe on WeChat that day? C¡¯mon, we should check it out.¡±

    She turned to her friend, who had long, silky hair and an enviably sharp chin. Her eyes were doll-like thanks to a pair of circle lenses.

    ¡°There¡¯s no way there¡¯ll be a decent cat cafe in this part of town. You wanna take snaps to show off online? Let¡¯s go to the cafe downtown. It¡¯s got European ir and style. Totally Instagram-able.¡±

    Coco Sun tightened her grip on her tiny backpack.

    ¡°I think it¡¯s worth a try. It might just turn out to be super awesome,¡± she said confidently.

    She pointed at the board on the storefront. ¡°Check this out. They use thetest biotechnology from MIT to improve the customers¡¯ well-being. How cool is that?¡±

    Leigh Zhao, the girl with long, silky hair, scoffed.

    ¡°Seriously, Coco, you¡¯re falling for that? It¡¯s utter bull.¡±

    Her words fell on deaf ears. Coco was not to be deterred. She was extremely curious about this cafe and its lofty ims, so she dragged Leigh inside despite her loud protests.

    Leigh¡¯s frown deepened at the sight of the y area, which was devoid of customers if not for Xiao Qing. None of the cats were particrly interesting. They were mostly the kind of tabby cats that roamed the streets.

    ¡°Oh em gee, Leigh! Look at that cat!¡± Coco eximed, holding onto the girl¡¯s arm, ¡°She¡¯s beautiful. She¡¯s purrfect. Don¡¯t deny it.¡±

    Leigh¡¯s gaze followed Coco¡¯s pointed finger andnded on Elizabeth, who was currently being cuddled by Xiao Qing. She raised a perfectly arched eyebrow in surprise.

    ¡°It is pretty cute,¡± she admitted, ¡°What breed is that?¡±

    ¡®That,dies, is a ragdoll cat,¡± Baiquan announced, approaching the two girls with jest, ¡°Her name is Elizabeth.¡±

    He was quite delighted by their appearance in the cafe. Coco and Leigh were the type of popr girls he would never have had a chance to talk to under normal circumstances.

    He motioned for them to enter the ypen.

    The moment they stepped foot in it, a rush of rxation coursed through their bodies, spreading from the tips of their fingers to their ends of their toes.

    ¡°What¡¯s happening? I feel...good,¡± Coco¡¯s voice trailed off as she basked in the soothing sensation.

    Leigh nodded once in agreement, eyes widened in surprise. All morning, she had been suffering an annoying bout of cramps. It went away the moment she entered the y area. It was like magic.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Like, I can literally feel good vibes radiating from me right now,¡± she looked to Baiquan for an exnation.

    This was, of course, a result of Elizabeth¡¯s Celestial Beats. The sound waves were capable of restoring bnce and harmony in the body. They could soothe any ailment or mdy in existence.

    Unfortunately, there was no way Baiquan could divulge this truth to the two girls.

    He could, however, mislead them with an intricate and carefully weaved web of lies.

    ¡°Well, our cats aren¡¯t just normal cats. Only the best were selected as kittens. Since birth, they¡¯ve been fed the most premium food, even nano-pharmaceuticals...¡± he started.

    Baiquanyered one lie over another with absolute confidence. This was not his first rodeo after all. He had single-handedly convinced dozens to join his Troll-Faced Demon cult before.

    Persuading people was his forte.

    He used hand gestures to emphasize certain things and paused after important points. The girls did not stand a chance.

    Leigh was the first to buy into his ridiculous stories.

    ¡°This improves myplexion?¡± she asked, eyes shining.

    Baiquan nodded sagely, ¡°If you visit frequently enough, it¡¯ll slow down your skin cells¡¯ aging process.¡±

    Technically, this statement was not a lie. Celestial Beats made people happy. Maintaining a good mood was crucial for good immunity, hormonal bnce and, consequently, a healthy rate of skin regeneration.

    Pleased with what she heard, Leigh took a seat and ordered a cup of coffee. Unlike Xiao Qing, she did not bat an eyelid at the extortive prices.

    Coco Sun was delighted as well. While rapid skin regeneration sounded good, her main reason for being here was to y with the adorable cats.

    One of them had just moved to sit by her feet. It looked up at her with a vacant expression.

    ¡°Hello, kitty. Whatcha looking at?¡± she cooed, squatting down so she could rub Mango¡¯s head.

    Mango continued to stare at her with a nk look. Instead of backing away from her touch, it burrowed the top of its head into her palm.

    Coco was bowled over by this gesture. It looked like Mango was yearning for more pats.

    In one swift motion, she scooped Mango into her arms and held it close to her chest.

    ¡°You really like me, don¡¯t you?¡± sheughed, patting its head lovingly.

    The more she looked at it, the cuter it seemed. She was bewitched.

    This amused Zhao Yao, who was still in his corner, watching the girls with a knowing smile.

    He understood cats. He knew they made really popr pets because their natural habits were often misinterpreted as signs of affection.

    For Mango, rubbing against humans was for the very practical purpose of territory marking.

    To Coco, however, it was seen as a lovely show of adoration and endearment.

    After ying with Mango, she then started taking photos with it. Leigh was doing the same. They each held a cat to take selfies alone, then wefies together. Everything was uploaded on social media.

    ¡°Oh? Who knew that ragdoll cats would cost so much?¡± Leigh remarked, looking up at her phone.

    ¡°They¡¯re expensive, huh?¡± Coco asked, taking a peek at Elizabeth.

    She had wanted to y with the beautiful ragdoll the moment she spotted her, but Xiao Qing had been hogging her.

    Leigh nodded, ¡°I just checked. Each one costs, like, five digits at least.¡±

    She followed Coco¡¯s gaze, which was still on Xiao Qing.

    ¡°Let¡¯s get a couple of shots with her when she¡¯s done.¡±

    This excessive photo taking was great news for Zhao Yao. Pretty girls like Coco and Leigh were always popr in school and online. Their selfies will be shared with tons of followers, which equated to many potential new customers for the cafe. This was free publicity. He loved it.

    His good mood, however, did notst. It was disrupted by the ring absence of a certain supercat.

    ¡°Where is Matcha?¡± he wondered, running his thumb across his chin thoughtfully.

    As if on cue, Roly Poly scuttered out of the cat bathroom, a sneaky expression on his face.

    ¡°Zhao Yao,¡± he said telepathically, ¡°I just saw Matcha ying Mobile Legends in the bathroom.¡±

    ¡°That brat...¡± Zhao Yao pursed his lips, getting on his feet.

    As he made a beeline for the bathroom, Roly Poly followed up with a gentle reminder, ¡°Zhao Yao, please don¡¯t tell on me.¡±

    Two minutester, he emerged from a room, a chubby LiHua cat in his arms.

    Coco, Leigh, and Xiao Qing watched as Matcha violently struggled to get out his grip.

    ¡°That doesn¡¯t look right.¡±

    ¡°That cafe staff is, like, super rough with that cat.¡±

    ¡°Seriously, what¡¯s wrong with him?¡±

    While the girls looked on with disgust, Matcha was throwing a massive temper tantrum telepathically.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to work!¡± he whined, ¡°Why must I work? I wanna stay home all day to y games!¡±

    ¡°You need to work to earn money. You need money to survive. Do you know that cat food, inte ess, mobile games, and even air-conditioning all need money?¡± Zhao Yao retorted.

    ¡°Well, that¡¯s none of my business! I¡¯m just a cat! Have you ever seen a pet cat with a job? What¡¯s wrong if I don¡¯t wanna work?¡± Matcha continued defiantly.

    ¡°You rascal! If you still refuse to entertain the guests, I¡¯m destroying all the emblems you¡¯ve painstakingly collected in that stupid game of yours.¡±

    This shut Matcha up. He stopped struggling and fell limp in Zhao Yao¡¯s grasp.

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll do it,¡± he conceded, crestfallen.

    His despondence made Zhao Yao feel a tinge of guilt.

    ¡°Okay, how about this. As long as you do a good job, I¡¯ll get you a monthly card as a reward,¡± he offered, rubbing Matcha¡¯s chin gently.

    ¡°Sure,¡± Matcha responded half-heartedly, pursuing his lips.

    He was still ring at him from the corner of his eyes.

    This was not the response Zhao Yao had hoped for. He had assumed that the cat would be delighted and energized by this promise.

    ¡°Fine, fine¡± he gave up, ¡°If you don¡¯t ck for the rest of this month, I¡¯ll buy a character skin for you, okay? We¡¯ll get one of those fancy ones.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Matcha asked, eyes bright and innocent.

    ¡°Of course,¡± he replied, rubbing the cat¡¯s furry ears.

    This boosted Matcha¡¯s spirits immediately.

    ¡°Alright!¡± he announced, ¡°Just watch me. I¡¯ll show these humans what true cuteness looks like. Every girl in this college town will go crazy over me. They¡¯ll never know what¡¯sing!¡±

    Just as the girls thought that the LiHua cat was in for more manhandling, the cafe staff unexpectedly lowered him to the ground.

    The cat pranced forward, a spring in each of his small steps. He stopped before Coco and purred demurely. He looked up at her with an innocent expression, raising his white paws as if to show off.

    ¡°Heh heh,¡± Matcha chuckled to himself, ¡°With my round face, snow-white paws andrge eyes, these girls don¡¯t stand a chance!¡±

    Unfortunately for Matcha, that was far from the reception he received.

    ¡°Oh my god, Leigh. This cat is trying way too hard,¡± Cocoughed.

    She tightened her arms around Mango. ¡°My kitty is still the cutest.¡±

    Matcha froze. He red at Coco, thinking, ¡°Tasteless peasant.¡±

    Leigh, who had been staring at the screen on her phone, looked up at Coco. She had been reading about Russian Blues after Baiquan told her that it was the breed Mango belonged to.

    ¡°Interesting,¡± she said, ¡°Turns out Russian Blues are, like, grey.¡±

    Matcha now turned his efforts towards her. She was his new target. He put on his most irresistibly innocent face and stared at her, trying to catch her attention.

    Leigh was not interested. To her, every one of these cats had a price tag floating above each of their heads. The tag above the beautiful Elizabeth was RMB 30,000. The one above Mango was RMB 3,000.

    As for Matcha, Leigh deemed him to be a mere RMB 10.

    She returned Matcha¡¯s hopeful look coolly.

    ¡°What an unexceptional cat,¡± she stated.

    ¡°Hey, Coco,¡± she continued, stretching her arms towards her, ¡°Let me hold your cat. Apparently, it¡¯s worth a few thousand dors.¡±

    Matcha could only stare, dumbfounded, as the girls ignored him and started taking selfies with Mango.

    He was inplete disbelief. ¡°How is this possible? Why would they prefer that imbecile over me?¡±

    Half an hourter, the girls¡¯ attention had shifted from Mango to another cat.

    No, the cat was not Matcha. It was Elizabeth, who was being fussed over by all three girls. They were either hugging her or petting her or taking photos with her.

    Elizabeth was undoubtedly the star of the cafe.

    Mango did not mind at all. It was ying in the corner, happy to entertain itself.

    Matcha, on the other hand, was grumpily sprawled across a tform on one of the kitty towers. He was staring daggers at Elizabeth.

    The afternoon brought it new customers. Some left when they saw that the y area was filled with ordinary tabby cats. Only one couple and three high school girls stepped into the pen. There, they were rxed by the Celestial Beats, which prompted them to stay.

    Almost every girl crowded around Elizabeth, taking turns to run their hands down her back, tummy, and head.

    Matcha, who had been watching glumly from a distance, grew increasingly jealous.

    Despite Elizabeth¡¯s poprity, the cafe still only had eight customers at the end of the first day.

    What theycked in numbers, they made up for with duration. All the customers stayed throughout the afternoon and into the evening thanks to the Celestial Beats¡¯ soothing effects.

    The high school girls only left when their parents started nagging them toe home. Coco Sun left for dinner but returned for atte after that. She stayed until the cafe¡¯s closing hour.

    ¡°Hey, don¡¯t you think you guys close too early? It¡¯s only 6 pm,¡± she told Baiquan, who was busy cleaning up.

    ¡°Well, you can alwayse back tomorrow,¡± he smiled.

    ¡°I can¡¯t,¡± shemented, ¡°Your prices are too high! I¡¯ll have to spend at least RMB 100 each time I¡¯m here.¡±

    Coco nted a sad kiss on Elizabeth, ¡°Guess I¡¯ll see you in a few days.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve had enough of this woman,¡± the catined to Zhao Yao telepathically, ¡°My entire body is covered in her sweat and saliva.¡±

    ¡°Suck it up, Elizabeth,¡± he responded, ¡°Patience and tolerance are essential for good customer service.¡±

    ¡°You keep telling me that! Why don¡¯t we switch ces? Let¡¯s see how long you can stand this nonsense.¡±

    ¡°Me?¡± Zhao Yao started, but was interrupted by a cackling Dust Ball.

    ¡°Even if he wants to switch ces, I doubt anyone would want to hug him,¡± she giggled.

    The moment Coco left the cafe, Elizabeth let out a long sigh of relief. She started to carefully groom herself, starting with generous licks across her body. She absolutely had to get rid of the stench from the girls.

    Baiquan approached Zhao Yao, ready to report the day¡¯s activities.

    ¡°Master Zhao,¡± he started.

    ¡°Hang on a second. Don¡¯t call me Master Zhao. From now, I¡¯m your boss,¡± Zhao Yao cut in.

    ¡°Yes, boss,¡± Baiquan said obediently, ¡°Many of our customers said they would like to buy cat food to feed the cats, but we don¡¯t offer that.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s taken care of,¡± Zhao Yao said confidently, ¡°I¡¯ve order canned food and snacks online. We¡¯ll sell them the moment they arrive.¡±

    ¡°Some guests want fruit juice or tea instead of coffee,¡± Shi Yu chimed in, ¡°Perhaps we can do that too?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s done too. I¡¯ve ordered instant powder.¡±

    ¡°Instant powder again..?¡± Shi Yu thought with disapproval.

    Despite serving only instant drinks, the cafe¡¯s business climbed steadily as the days went by.

    The Celestial Beats¡¯ power was proven to be irresistible. Anyone who entered its reach was ovee with a wave of rxation and joy. It could ease all kinds of aches, ranging from pain in the back to tension in the neck. It could alleviate the worst of migraines.

    In fact, it felt like it was even strengthening your body from the inside out, starting with your bones and reaching your muscles.

    Put simply, it was invigorating.

    Naturally, those who experienced it once kepting back for more.

    Coco and Leigh came from rtively affluent backgrounds, so they could afford to drop by daily.

    Coco visited because she adored both Mango and Elizabeth. Plus, the atmosphere in the cafe never failed to put her at ease. She found that even the stiff neck she earned from ying excessiveputer games went away when she was there.

    As for Leigh, her dedication to the cafe was purely motivated by reasons rted to health and beauty. She found that spending a day there guaranteed a restful night of sleepter on. This was a godsend for her insomnia.

    Now that she had enough sleep, she could focus better in school. The dark circles under her eyes were gone. Even her peskyugh lines were gradually fading.

    This was why the two of them would lug theirptops, iPads, and chargers to the cafe and stay there the entire day.

    *

    Five days after the Cat Haven Coffee House opened, the owner of Cosy Coffee Cafe dropped by.

    She had deliberately made a pit stop there to see how well, or rather, how badly, it was doing.

    Ms. Mayer was certain that the cafe would be a ghost town devoid of customers. For starters, it offered nothing more than tabby cats that looked like strays. The outrageous prices on the menu were also nothing short of shocking.

    Imagine her surprise when she looked through the ss windows of the cafe.

    The cafe was far from empty. About 20 people were seated in the modest, 150 square meters space.

    This was considered a decently sized crowd for a cafe.

    However, for a cafe that had only been in business for five days, this was quite a feat.

    Ms. Mayer was unable to make sense of this.

    ¡°Are you kidding me? Are these people fools?¡± she thought to herself.

    As she craned her neck to observe the customers, she noticed a group of girls crowded around a remarkablyrge cat with long fur.

    The cat was beautiful.

    Ms. Mayer wanted to run her hands through her shiny coat of hair.

    ¡°I¡¯m pretty sure that¡¯s a ragdoll. It is adorable, but even then, it can¡¯t possibly be why so many people are in there,¡± she furrowed her eyebrows.

    As a cat owner, she knew about the different breeds and could appreciate how special ragdolls were. However, she could not wrap her head around how this lousy little ce could be so popr.

 Chapter 84: Matcha in Despair

    <h4>Chapter 84: Matcha in Despair</h4>

    On the other side of the window, Matcha was posing before the gleaming mirror.

    ¡°This doesn¡¯t make sense.¡±

    ¡°Why is this happening?¡±

    ¡°Am I not the perfect bnce of cute and handsome?¡±

    ¡°Aren¡¯t my adorable white paws attractive?¡±

    He could not wrap his head around why he was receiving zero attention from the customers.

    Matcha turned around to observe them. Apart from the ones ying mobiles games or doing work, most of the other guests were fawning over Elizabeth. A couple of them were ying with Mango. Even Roly Poly was in the loving arms of a little girl.

    It was a depressing sight.

    As his mood took another nosedive, he noticed Ms. Mayer.

    She was still like a statue, her mind whirling with questions about the cafe¡¯s poprity.

    Sensing an opportunity, Matcha pounced forward and ced his paws against the window. He widened his eyes, dted his pupils and put on an angelic expression for the middle-aged woman.

    All Matcha asked for was some attention, but he continued to fail in receiving it.

    Ms. Mayer was too consumed with making sense of the cafe¡¯s inexplicable poprity to bother with the LiHua cat staring creepily at her.

    She rolled her eyes and stormed off, wondering, ¡°Are there a lot of cat lovers now? Is that why these cafes canmand so many customers?¡±

    Her eye roll felt like salt rubbing against Matcha¡¯s emotional wounds. Crestfallen, he watched her retreating figure in defeated silence.

    ¡°Maybe...I¡¯m not cute at all?¡±

    In truth, Matcha was cute. However, he did not exist on the same level of cuteness as Mango and Elizabeth. The two cats belonged to pedigree breeds. They were rarer and more beautiful, and this was especially pronounced when they were among a bunch ofmon tabby cats.

    Of course, Matcha did not understand this. He ambled forward, each step slow and heavy, hoping to hide under a table for the rest of time. As He thought that all hope was lost, he heard a voice call out.

    ¡°Hmm? This cat is, like, pretty cute if you take a closer look.¡±

    The girl¡¯s voice broke Matcha¡¯s depressive spell. His eyes lit up as he raised his head to see Leigh Zhao bent forward, looking in his direction.

    Matcha was ecstatic. He literally jumped for joy as he thundered towards her, ready to give her, or rather, her calf, a huge hug.

    ¡°Go away, Ginger,¡± she demanded before Matcha could reach her, ¡°Don¡¯t block my view.¡±

    With that, Leigh used her leg to push Matcha away.

    The cat fell to the ground and watched in despair as Leigh lifted Dust Ball, who had been behind Matcha, into her arms.

    ¡°You¡¯re a tiny thing!¡± she giggled, ¡°Baby animals are truly the cutest ever. You¡¯re, like, the size of my palm.¡±

    Dust Ball was not having any of this fondling. She shot Leigh a cross look, then squeezed out of her grip. She hissed at her and bared her sharp, angr teeth before jumping out of her hands and onto the ground, darting from view.

    Leighid her hands on her chest in surprise, ¡°This kitty is super fierce.¡±

    ¡°Even stupid Dust Ball is more popr than me,¡± Matcha wailed, scrambling towards the cat bathroom, ¡°I will never talk to a human ever again! I hate all of you! I hate this superficial world!¡±

    Roly Poly, who was at the other end of the cafe, was having a much better time than Matcha. He remained expressionless as the little girl scratched his tummy. However, he was actually trying his hardest not to burst outughing from the ticklish touches. He took so much effort that his tummy was contracted into folds.

    Matcha, true to his word, remained hidden in the bathroom until the end of the night.

    After the cafe was closed for the day, Zhao Yao sat down to calcte the profits and expenses.

    In five days, Cat Haven Coffee House had earned close to RMB 4,000. He thought this was a decent amount since the cafe was still new and needed time to cultivate a good reputation.

    As he expected, the Celestial Beats were effective in motivating customers to return time and again. The repeat customer rate was already more than 90%. This could only get better and draw more customers over time.

    ¡°Maybe one day, we can even time the visits. One drink only buys you one hour at the cafe. If you want to stay longer, you¡¯ll have to buy another,¡± he thought gleefully.

    The only downside of the cafe¡¯s expanding business was the reduced amount of time he could spend on his daily missions.

    Recently, he could only patrol his neighborhood with either Matcha or Elizabeth in tow. Training and y for the supercats could only be restricted to the confines of the cafe.

    However, today, he had a different n in mind.

    First, he dropped Shi Yu off at the public bus stop. Then, he drove Baiquan and the four supercats home. After some rest, he headed to the zoo with Elizabeth and Matcha.

    ¡°Carnivores spotted partying in the zoo?¡± heughed, scrolling down the information recorded on his phone, ¡°Jeez, someone even saw a tiger dancing.¡±

    He never once imagined that supercats would appear in the zoo.

    Elizabeth was curled up in the shotgun seat of the Panamera, grooming herself religiously. She could still sense the scent of the customers in her fur.

    Matcha had flopped down in the leg space beneath the seat, unmoving and expressionless.

    Zhao Yao pursed his lips when he spotted Matcha in such low spirits.

    ¡°Silly cat, when are you going to stop wallowing in self-pity?¡± he started, ¡°I know you¡¯ve spent the whole afternoon hidden in the bathroom today. If you do that again tomorrow, I¡¯ll count you as absent. That means no character skins of rewards at the end of the month.¡±

    Matcha turned his head to face his owner, a doleful look on his face.

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. No one likes me anyway. None of the guests wanted to hug me or touch me. I¡¯m better off hidden in the bathroom.¡±

    ¡°Tsk,¡± Elizabeth shot Matcha a side-eye, ¡°I agree, Zhao Yao. Useless cats can just stay at home. No one would want to y with them anyway. The cafe can just rely on me.¡±

    Matcha did not retaliate. Instead, he raised his paws to cover his head, as if trying to hide from view.

    ¡°Actually, Matcha,¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°There are ways to be more popr.¡±

    The ginger cat did not respond. However, there was a twitch in his ears, so he was listening.

    Zhao Yao took this as permission to continue.

    ¡°Elizabeth and Mango are so popr because they are pedigree cats. They are meant to take part in championships, so they were bred to be beautiful. They¡¯re also rare.¡±

    ¡°Tabby cats are a lot moremonce, no? People like rare things, so they¡¯re more excited to see Elizabeth and Mango,¡± he finished.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s words only served to inspire more despair in Matcha. He flipped onto his back like a dead fish and looked at him miserably.

    ¡°Just leave me be,¡± he moaned, ¡°I¡¯m just a useless cat. Just let me rot at home and y Mobile Legends every day.¡±

    ¡°You little rascal! You¡¯re still thinking about cking at home?¡± Zhao Yao thought to himself.

    He kept thesements to himself. To Matcha, he suggested, ¡°You may not be a pedigree cat, but you can pretend to be one.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s furry ears twitched again.

    Even Elizabeth turned to him, swishing her tail. ¡°You can pretend to be one?¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed.

    ¡°You¡¯ve seen Scottish Folds, yes? Matcha, that¡¯s what you can pretend to be. I know you can control your ears. They stick t to your heads like the wings of a ne when you¡¯re scared, excited, or rxed. Just tten your ears like Scottish Folds. I think that¡¯ll work.¡±

    Elizabeth¡¯s jaw dropped as Zhao Yao concluded his proposal.

    ¡°Seriously?¡±

    Matcha¡¯s response was far more dramatic. He had gotten to his feet and climbed into their line of sight, ears folded t against his head.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, you¡¯re the only one to see my potential,¡± he marveled, pawing his transformed ears gently, ¡°From now on, my name is George Matcha! I hail from an exotic line of Scottish Fold crossbreeds. I disguise myself as a domestic tabby to evade detection and attention.¡±

    ¡°Idiot,¡± Elizabeth muttered, ncing at Matcha one more time before returning to grooming herself.

    Zhao Yao could not help but took a look at Matcha as well.

    ¡°This silly cat sure recovers quickly,¡± he mused, ¡°He should be able to entertain customers tomorrow.¡±

    Soon, he pulled over at a parking lot a distance away from the zoo. He would rather trek there then get caught trespassing again. Elizabeth and Matcha were in the cat carrier that sat on his shoulders.

    The two of them were not happy with the arrangement. They had both grown in size significantly over the past months, so it was a bit of a squeeze. Elizabeth took up a particrlyrge amount of space because she wasrger and was covered inyers of long, thick fur.

    ¡°You¡¯ve gotten fatter again! The bag can¡¯t fit you anymore, you shaggy ragdoll!¡± Matchained.

    ¡°How many times must I repeat myself? I¡¯m not fat, I just have a fluffy coat of fur,¡± Elizabeth retorted.

    She used her paw to pat Matcha¡¯s tummy, feeling the rolls of fat vibrate in return.

    ¡°And please, before you criticise me, take a look at that pot belly of yours,¡± she continued smugly.

    ¡°Oh, are you unhappy with me?¡± Matcha mocked, using both his paws to squeeze Elizabeth¡¯s face, ¡°I have a bit of a tummy because I¡¯m storing fat for the winter. Jiangmen city Scottish Folds like myself tend to get on the chubby side at this time of the year.¡±

    ¡°Stupid cat. That¡¯s not a real breed,¡± Elizabeth argued, reaching for Matcha¡¯s artificially folded ears, ¡°Stop folding them! You look ridiculous.¡±

    Zhao Yao could feel the cats squabble. The backpack was rocking from their fight, making it difficult for him to move forward. He impatiently rapped on the hard case of the backpack a few times, ¡°Alright, alright. Stop moving, or I¡¯m cutting inte ess for both of you.¡±

    That shut them up. Now that they have stopped writhing around, Zhao Yao could pick up speed as he made his way to the zoo.

    The cats weighed close to 30 poundsbined, but Zhao Yao had no difficulty with that load on his shoulders. Their powers had strengthened him considerably over time. The aura of the Celestial Beats had made him stronger as well. He marched steadily onwards, never once out of breath.

    He started using time freeze as he got nearer to the zoo. He darted forward for six seconds, then hid behind trees and in the shadows during the cool down period. Carefully, he inched closer and closer to his destination.

    *

    While Zhao Yao continued to move with quiet stealth, the carnivore zone in the zoo was erupting with roars and hisses.

    A dozen tigers had taken to circling a man. They took turns to snap their powerful jaws and snarl, taunting him.

    The man was a bald, muscr ck man. He had on a pair of boxing shoes, red exercise shorts and a ck tank top.

    With his ripped biceps and broad shoulders, he did not look at all like the kind of guy you would want to mess with.

    He chuckled as the tigers started closing in on him.

    ¡°Still hiding, are we?¡± he said in fluent Mandarin, ¡°You know that these kitties are no match for me. If you don¡¯t want them to get hurt, make them leave. Now.¡±

    Whoever he was speaking to did not respond. The tigers did not flee either. Instead, their eyes shone with ferocity. There was a sense of impatience in each step they made as if they were just dying to attack.

    ¡°I warned ya,¡± the man said, rolling his shoulders.

    His lips curled into a cruel smirk.

    ¡°I¡¯ll show you what real power looks like.¡±

    With that, he cocked onerge arm back, then swung it forward in a powerful punch. Its force was so great that it rippled the air, sending a gush of energy forward.

    It sent five tigers flying across the zone at once. They growled in pain when they were hit, blood spilling from their mouths.

    The remaining tigers charged towards the man in a fit of rage.

    He was unfazed. As before, he shot them a vicious grin. Then, he sent both his fists forward with a thunderous roar. Tornadoes spun towards the tigers, gaining speed and momentum as it approached them.

    ¡°I will show you who the real king of the beasts is.¡±

    The tornadoes tunneled through the throng of tigers mercilessly. Within a minute, they all plummeted to the ground, severely hurt.

    A thin trail of blood had appeared on the man¡¯s chest as well. He pulled the tight tank top over his head, then flung it away.

    Just then, he spotted a rustling in the woods ahead.

    ¡°You can¡¯t run,¡± he smirked.

    A loud crack split through the air as he shot forward, propelling towards the escaping shadow like a missile

    *

    At the edge of the carnivore zone, a small four-wheel drive was meandering through the entrance.

    Jin Jia Jia was in the backseat, cellphone raised, ready to begin her live stream. Xiao Ming was seated next to her, peering out the window curiously. This was his first time visiting the zoo at night.

    The staff in the front passenger seat spoke to him.

    ¡°Mr. Xiao, a lot of our animals are nocturnal, so you¡¯re in for quite an experience. I¡¯ve asked the staff to dy feeding hours specially for you. Would you like to watch the feedingter on?¡±

    ¡°No, that¡¯s alright. I¡¯m just here to take a quick look around. I don¡¯t wish to disrupt your work,¡± Xiao Ming responded, brows furrowed.

    ¡°Disrupt? Why, you¡¯re causing none of that!¡± the middle-aged man added quickly, ¡°Your presence is an honor to us.¡±

    Xiao Ming awkwardly exchanged a few more words with him. The staff eventually fell silent when Jia Jia began her live stream.

    She shed a bright smile at the camera before turning it to capture the gates of the carnivore zone.

    ¡°Hello everybody! Wee,¡± she greeted cheerily, ¡°Tonight, we¡¯re on the hunt for nocturnal animals. I¡¯m actually at the zoo right now. I¡¯ve never been here at night. I could get in today thanks to Xiao Ming.¡±

    Jia Jia¡¯s poprity online had gone through the roof with his help. Their adventure live streams had umted a fan base.

    The session had barely started, but these loyal viewers were already joining in one by one.

    ¡°Is she the rich boy¡¯s new arm candy?¡±

    ¡°Maybe his family owns the zoo?¡±

    ¡°Idiot, they can¡¯t possibly own the freaking zoo.¡±

    ¡°Jia Jia, you promised to eat sanitary pads in this live stream.¡±

    Jia Jiaughed awkwardly as thatst line sprung onto her screen. She ignored it, choosing to continue with hermentary.

    ¡°We¡¯re not just here to look at nocturnal animals tonight. I¡¯m sure you¡¯ve all watched the video of the tigers from this zoo partying. You¡¯ve heard the rumors that some of the creatures here have developed a mind of their own. We¡¯re here to find out what¡¯s really going on after hours.¡±

    As the vehicle advanced into the carnivore zone, there was no animal in sight. It felt as if they were all hiding.

    ¡°Where are they?¡± the middle-aged guide furrowed his brows, whipping out his phone from his pocket, ¡°Mr. Xiao, I¡¯ll call the control center to find out where the animals have gone.¡±

    Xiao Ming nodded coolly in response.

    He felt safe in the confines of the four-wheel drive. The fact that the animals were missing was unsettling, but it was not as frightening as his previous excursions with Jia Jia, who was thrilled by this turn of events.

    She was eager to capture supernatural and strange phenomenon in her live stream.

    Out of nowhere, a cacophonous boom erupted.

    ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± Xiao Ming asked.

    ¡°Thunder?¡± Jia Jia responded uncertainly.

    She barely finished her sentence when another deafening explosion filled the air. This was followed by another, then one more, and one more still. Each whip of sound was sharper, louder and closer than the one before.

    The passengers in the four-wheel drive inadvertently kept their eyes glued to the direction they wereing from. The tension in the air was palpable.

    A single, pained wail sliced through the noise. It was a sound of agony, the final words of a dying animal.

    ¡°What the hell is going on?¡± the guide was beginning to panic, ¡°Stop the car right now.¡±

    ¡°Do not stop!¡± Xiao Mingmanded.

    His voice carried confidence, but there was fear in his eyes. He was unnerved, but he instructed the driver to keep going.

    ¡°Pardon me, Mr. Xiao, but it is too dangerous to go any closer when we¡¯re not sure what¡¯s ahead,¡± the man reasoned.

    ¡°We¡¯re going,¡± Xiao Ming insisted.

    ¡°How about this? I¡¯ll call security and ask them to dispatch a few officers here. We¡¯ll go together.¡±

    Xiao Ming scrunched his eyebrows together, considering this offer. He knew that this man would never risk his own safety to move forward now. If he were to be perfectly honest, he was hesitant to do so himself.

    His thoughts were interrupted by Jia Jia, who had spotted movement in the empty carnivore zone.

    ¡°Guys, you need to see this!¡± she eximed.

    The men¡¯s gaze followed her finger to meet glowing green eyes emerging from the darkness. They belonged to lions, tigers, leopards, and even bears, barely illuminated, snarling and charging in the same direction.

    There was a manic energy in the air as they rampaged through the area.

    They were fast, but their target was faster still. He took the form of a man, but he was so dark that it was impossible to tell what he looked like. He was a ck phantom that melted into the shadows of the night.

    Every step he took propelled him ten meters forward. As he leaped into the air, he could change directions with a loud bang. He would then throw out a punch or a kick that sent the animals closest to him flying.

    He was not just trying to get away from the beasts. He was fighting back.

    You might have guessed by now that this phantom was no phantom at all. He was the man who had severely wounded the circle of tigers.

    After he had yanked off his tank top, the animals started ripping his shorts with their ws when they pounced. He then jerked the shredded fabric of in frustration, leaving him butt naked. His ebony skin blended seamlessly into the night. From afar, the passengers in the car could only make out his silhouette.

    ¡°What is that?!¡± the guide cried in shock.

    He lifted the walkie-talkie to his lips, ¡°Send security to us now! Quickly!¡±

    Instead of fear, Xiao Ming was reacting to the scene unfolding before them with quiet interest.

    ¡°Another superhuman?¡± he mused, ¡°But he¡¯s not like the one from before. There¡¯s something sinister about him.¡±

    Jia Jia¡¯s emotions were all the way on the other end of the spectrum. She was bursting with excitement as she angled her camera to the man in ck.

    ¡°Guys, you won¡¯t believe this. A mysterious man in ck has trespassed the zoo and is now raging a fierce battle with beasts,¡± she said.

    ¡°There¡¯s no way you can catch something like this on any other live stream, so please show your appreciation and sponsor me.¡±

    Even now, she remembered to remind her viewers about that.

    At that point, the man had managed to fight off two more tigers, three leopards, and a ck bear. He rubbed hisher regions, cursing the animals for ruining his shorts. Everything down there was now out in the open and unprotected. It hurt. A lot.

    When he spotted the four-wheel drive in the distance, he put the pain aside and sped towards the opposite direction.

    He did not particrly enjoy being spotted in the nude.

    Luckily for him, he was very well camouged by the darkness.

    The guide was watching him intently with a pair of binocrs, but he could not make out that he was naked.

    ¡°He¡¯s covered in ck clothing from head to toe! He¡¯s wearing a face mask so I can¡¯t even tell if he¡¯s a man or a woman!¡± he shouted.

    ¡°Stop looking and do something! We¡¯ve got to go after him!¡± Xiao Ming said impatiently.

    The guide was not at all eager to close the distance between them and the man in ck. He pretended not to hear Xiao Ming¡¯smand and continued to look into his binocrs instead. That was when he spotted several headlights in the distance. Backup was finally here.

    Relieved, he spoke into the walkie-talkie again.

    ¡°Attention, all units, we cannot let the man in ck or the animals get away. Go after them and subdue them now!¡±

    The team responded by revving their engines, then powering forward.

    This caught the man¡¯s attention. A look of annoyance crossed his face as he turned around and spotted six vehicles hot on his trail.

    He was not keen on exchanging blows with the zoo¡¯s security team. He knew he would emerge triumphant, but he wanted to be discreet.

    ¡°I don¡¯t have time to y with those idiots anyway,¡± he thought, ¡°I¡¯ve almost got you.¡±

    With a glint in his eye, he brought his hands together to create one thunderous p. The air waves emitting from his palms were forced against each other, sparking a surge of friction and energy that exploded with an earth-shattering boom.

    The sound knocked every thought out of the animals¡¯ minds. They came to a gradual halt, disoriented about where they were and confused about what they were doing.

    At that moment, a spinning vortex of air wormed out of the man¡¯s ears. It rocketed in one direction and came to an abrupt stop before what looked like a cheetah cub.

    It had long, lithe limbs and ck spots on yellow fur. Its ears were erect as if it was on high alert. Like the rest of the animals, it was momentarily dazed by the explosion.

    It was, however, not a cheetah. It was a serval, a type of African wildcat. Its fur color was lighter, its body more limber, and earsrger than a cheetah¡¯s.

    The ck man scooped the wildcat in one hand, his face breaking into a grin.

    He had felt the presence of this supercat the moment he fought off the small circle of tigers. It was well hidden then.

    But as the cat instructed more animals to start going after him, it had to stick a little closer to its army. Eventually, the man could spot him in the back if the pack.

    He took a look at the cat, who was still too dizzy to retaliate or respond.

    ¡°Your power must be animal mind-control. That¡¯de in very handy,¡± he smiled.

    ¡°The boss will like you.¡±

    With the zoo¡¯s security team closing on them, the man knew he had to go. With a derisive snort, he propelled himself into the darkness, the serval cat securely in his grip.

    As the all-terrain vehicles started closing in on the herd, the guide shouted instructions into the walkie-talkie again.

    ¡°Use the fresh meat to lure them into smaller groups, then lead them back to their enclosures. Get ready the tranquilizers in case they attack.¡±

    ¡°We have to go after the man in ck!¡± Xiao Ming protested.

    The guide wiped away the beads of sweat that had gathered on the tip of his nose.

    ¡°Mr. Xiao, these animals are my priority,¡± he responded nervously.

    This was an excuse. The guide had seen what the man in ck was capable of doing. He had no interest in going after someone who could single-handedly vanquish a massive herd of carnivores.

    Xiao Ming furrowed his brow. Due to the situation at home, he knew he had to pursue the man, even if it was dangerous. This was his opportunity.

    ¡°You can stay here and herd the animals if you¡¯re afraid. I¡¯ll lead my people after him,¡± he stated, a steely determination in his voice.

    *

    The ck man was full of glee.

    Gusts of air waves were released from his bare back, propelling him far even when he made small steps.

    He could not help grinning at the serval cat. It was barely conscious and unable to retaliate.

    ¡°Being able to control animals ain¡¯t a bad gift,¡± he thought, ¡°Seems like its powers can¡¯t be used on humans. It would¡¯ve controlled me if it could. I guess it can¡¯t affect supercats either.¡±

    He wriggled his bare bottom happily as he leaped through the air, relishing the cool wind fluttering against his skin.

    Air currents were radiating off every inch of his skin. This was the power that he had borrowed. He could manipte the currents to produce winds of all kinds, from gentle breezes to destructive vortexes.

    The only downside to this power was the fact that it was strongest when he was naked. Ayer of clothes would obstruct the force of the airwaves from the skin it covered.

    He noticed that he could manipte the currents better when he was fighting off the herd without his shorts and tank top. Now, he was enjoying the freedom that theck of clothes afforded. He loved the cool air that greeted him with every move he made.

    ¡°I am stronger, and I feel good. This is perfect,¡± he sighed, contented.

    He was soon at the edge of the zoo. Just as he was about to cross the gates, a woman¡¯s voice stopped him in his tracks.

    ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡±

    The man spun around.

    Before him stood a young woman. A pair of ck rim sses were perched on her nose. There was still a hint of baby fat in her cheeks. She did not look dangerous, but she was pointing a long rifle at him.

    ¡°Let the cat go,¡± she demanded.

    Her words were firm, but there was a tremor in her voice.

    ¡°Oh?¡± the man mocked, checking out the woman¡¯s uniform, ¡°You must be one of the animal feeders here. You sure take your job seriously. But let me ask you this ¨C Is it worth being hurt or injured just to be a dutiful zookeeper?¡±

    The woman shivered involuntarily from the threat.

    She did not answer, not out of fear, but from embarrassment.

    ¡°Pervert! Why don¡¯t you have clothes on?!¡±

    Her blush was close to the shade of a tomato.

    The man was unabashed. In fact, he stood up even straighter, puffing out his bare chest.

    ¡°Pervert? How is being at my most natural being a pervert? This is freedom. It is returning to the form that we were originally created. This is a homage to nature¡¯s wonder!¡± he reasoned passionately.

    He turned to the woman with a disapproving shake of his head.

    ¡°It¡¯s people like you,¡± he pointed at her for dramatic emphasis, ¡°Who are perverts. You allow yourself to bound by society¡¯s ridiculous rules. That¡¯s true perversion.¡±

    The corners of the woman¡¯s lips twitched. She shot him a death re.

    ¡°Disgusting pervert.¡±

    ¡°Oh, whatever. Conservatives like you would never understand me. By the way, you¡¯re this cat¡¯s apostle, right?¡±

    She did not answer. However, there was no need for her to say a word. The slight contraction of her pupils betrayed her surprise.

    ¡°Heh, guess I¡¯m right,¡± the man in ck chuckled.

    She had to be its apostle. Why else would she risk her safety to go after them?

    Sensing that the man was about to take off, the woman clutched the rifle tightly, shouting, ¡°Don¡¯t move! I¡¯ll shoot you! I really will.¡±

    The man was unfazed. He sauntered towards the woman, sneering.

    ¡°You sure about that?¡± he mocked, ¡°Why don¡¯t youe with me instead? You¡¯re an apostle. You have potential.¡±

    ¡°Stop moving!¡±

    The man continued inching closer.

    ¡°I¡¯m gonna shoot!¡±

    ¡°I said stop!¡±

    Bang!

    The moment the rifle was sounded, a whirling mass of wind was sent forth from the man¡¯s body. The whirlwind protected him from a tranquilizer dart, which was drawn into its center.

    ¡°Seriously, girl? That¡¯s all you got?¡± heughed.

    The woman was not holding a rifle loaded with bullets. It had been a tranquilizer gun, which was nowhere as lethal. Even if she did manage to hit her target, these darts still needed minutes to take effect. They were pretty much useless in this scenario.

    As the whirlwind continued to gain momentum, the ck man sprung forward, grabbed the young woman and threw her over his shoulder.

    Just then, the serval wriggled out of his grip and tried to sink its teeth into the side of his neck.

    The sharp snap of its jaw was followed by a stter of blood. The bite could have been more deadly if not for the man¡¯s quick reflexes. Heunched an airwave in the serval¡¯s direction just as its pointy teeth scratched the surface of his skin, barely breaking it. The cat was sent spinning to the ground with a loud thud.

    ¡°Let us go!¡± the young woman screamed, punching and kicking, ¡°I¡¯ve called the cops! You can¡¯t get away!¡±

    All the man did wasugh.

    ¡°Girl, the police have got nothing on me. You¡¯ve got to stop fighting me. Once you meet my boss, you¡¯ll understand that I¡¯m actually giving you the best opportunity of your life. You can get away from this dead-end job and join me in living freely.¡±

    The serval was using the little strength it had to escape, but it could hardly lift its limbs. It had been smashed to the ground twice in a row now and was a bit concussed.

    As the ck man approached it, a meow rang clearly through the air.

    It took less than half a second for the sound to be registered in the man¡¯s mind.

    That was all it took for the serval to disappear.

    ¡°What...?¡± the man shot forward to where the cat had been.

    It was gone.

    ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± he asked, narrowing his eyes.

    The only response he received was the whooshing of the night breeze.

    The quiet night was broken by the sound of cars approaching in the distance. The man looked up to see the flicker of headlights. He scrunched his eyebrows together.

    Where was the serval?

    He would never be able to find it because it was now safely hidden in Elizabeth¡¯s bubble of illusion.

    Zhao Yao put his finger to his lips, warning the serval to stay quiet.

    Xiao Ming¡¯s men were close. Zhao Yao did not want anyone to know that he was here.

    Most of all, he did not want to be caught in someone¡¯s live stream.

    He had actually discovered the showdown between the animals and the men in ck way before Xiao Ming did.

    He observed quietly, unable to take action because he had no clue where the supercat was.

    He followed them here and struck when an opportunity presented itself.

    His and Elizabeth¡¯s timing was impable. The serval was in their hands, and no one knew that this was his doing.

    Zhao Yao studied the concussed cat that was cradled in his arms.

    ¡°Hmm...is this a mountain cat? Or one of those desert wildcats? I didn¡¯t know these kinds could be awakened as well,¡± he pondered.

    As he hurried out of the zoo, the serval forced its eyes open. It meowed to catch Zhao Yao¡¯s attention.

    ¡°Save Liu Yun! Please, you¡¯ve gotta save her!¡±

    To Zhao Yao¡¯s surprise, the serval had a sweet, girly voice that called out to him telepathically.

    He cast a nce at the woman hanging from the man in ck¡¯s shoulder.

    ¡°Zhi Yun? Is she the one on his shoulders?¡± he asked.

    The serval was stunned that a foreign voice wasmunicating with her in her own head.

    She had questions, but she pushed them aside because there were more pressing matters at hand.

    ¡°Please, sir, please save her! You absolutely must save her!¡± she pleaded, kneading Zhao Yao¡¯s forearm with her paws and pressing her head against his chest.

    He furrowed his brow, uncertain. He wanted to help the cat and the woman, but Xiao Ming and the security team were already here. Worse, Jin Jia Jia was live-streaming everything.

    He did not want to risk exposing himself on camera.

    Elizabeth¡¯s powers could only affect a person¡¯s senses and perceptions. It could not change what the camera capturds.

    He looked down at the serval, whose eyes were filled with helplessness and worry.

    He let out a heavy sigh.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. She¡¯s an apostle. Nobody would hurt her. The authorities won¡¯t harm her. Neither would this ck man.¡±

    The serval was not convinced.

    ¡°Please, you¡¯ve gotta save her!¡± she pleaded, looking up at him.

    Tears were already welling in herrge eyes, which shone with fear.

    ¡°Please save my mama! Save my mama, please.¡±

    The consecutive trauma to her head had slowed the cat¡¯s cognitive capabilities. She could not argue or reason with Zhao Yao. She could only repeat the same words to emphasize her point.

    ¡°Your mother?¡± he asked, sighing, ¡°This woman, Zhi Yun, did she raise you?¡±

    Elizabeth chimed in before the serval could respond.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, you have to save her.¡±

    ¡°Yeah,¡± Matcha added, ¡°I¡¯ll despise you for the rest of time if you don¡¯t.¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes, I know,¡± he said, fishing for the face mask that he had tucked into his jacket.

    He just had to wait for the right time to intervene.

    Xiao Ming had led four all-terrain vehicles to the ck man by now. Their headlights were pointed at the man, drenching him in a harsh, yellow glow.

    For the first time, the mysterious man in ck was illuminated.

    ¡°Pervert,¡± Jin Jia Jia muttered, blushing beet red.

    To their surprise, it turned out that he was not a man dressed in ck. He was a naked ck person.

    The tant nudity made the tense atmosphere awkward instead.

    ¡°Uh, hey, sir, hi. We don¡¯t want to hurt you, so please cooperate with us,¡± Xiao Ming stammered through the loudspeaker.

    Jin Jia Jia was next to him, speaking angrily into her phone, ¡°Hey, don¡¯t censor my live stream! How am I supposed to know that this idiot will be naked?¡±

    The ck man cast them an impatient look.

    His mind was still reeling from the serval¡¯s disappearance.

    ¡°Did this group of idiots do it?¡±

    ¡°Are there other apostles in this zoo?¡±

    ¡°Or is this all just one big coincidence?¡±

    Whatever it was, he did not want to be taken in by the security team.

    SIghing deeply, he lowered the servel¡¯s apostle to the ground.

    Then, without warning, he shot towards the Xiao Ming¡¯s men, propelled by the jets of air released from the soles of his feet.

    Loud bangs followed every step he made. He projected air sts that exploded the vehicles¡¯ windows and headlights as he passed.

    Blinded by panic, the security team started shooting at him. None of the tranquilizer darts fired could hit the man. They were all swept away by a zap of wind.

    Some of the men started retreating in fear. Others rushed forward, but they were all thrown into a heap on the ground when the man unleashed another air st towards them.

    ¡°Be careful!¡±

    ¡°We gotta get outta here!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t stick together!¡±

    Everyone had fled from their vehicles. They were trying to get as far away from the ck man as possible.

    What they did not know was that this was futile. If the ck man had wanted to kill them, none of them would be able to get out alive.

    Xiao Ming understood this. He stopped running and turned to watch the aerokic attacks instead, a look of awe on his face.

    ¡°This is exactly what I¡¯ve been looking for. This man¡¯s power is unparalleled,¡± he thought.

    ¡°Why have you stopped? C¡¯mon, we¡¯ve got to run!¡± Jia Jia eximed.

    ¡°There¡¯s no point. If he really wanted to hurt us, we won¡¯t be able to get away,¡± he responded.

    He hade on this little night excursion in search for power of this magnitude. Now that he had found it, he was not going to run away.

    For Zhao Yao, the men¡¯s hasty retreat signified the right time to strike.

    He put on the face mask, then removed himself from Elizabeth¡¯s illusion.

    This made it look like he suddenly materialized from thin air. It did not go unnoticed by the security team, who were watching from a safe distance.

    ¡°Pervert!¡± he thought as he saw that the ck man was buck naked.

    He kept his eyes firmly away from him as he spoke.

    ¡°Hey, you,¡± he started, ¡°never manhandle that animal feeder ever again. Also, it¡¯s bad enough that you¡¯re scaring these poor folks, but doing that when you¡¯re naked is horrifying on a whole new level. I believe I speak on everyone¡¯s behalf when I say I¡¯m grossed out. Can¡¯t you put some darn clothes on?¡±

    The ck man had raised an eyebrow at Zhao Yao¡¯s sudden appearance.

    Then, a knowing look crossed his face.

    ¡°Hey, I know you. You¡¯re mask man!¡± he smirked.

    ¡°You beat that pair of idiots in the mall, didn¡¯t you? I never thought I¡¯d see you here. You must be the one who took the serval.¡±

    Zhao Yao paused for a moment to let that information sink in.

    ¡°You¡¯re part of that gang of cat thieves?¡± he asked.

    The ck man did not reply. His smug expression was wiped off as his mind churned with all the intel he had about Zhao Yao.

    He knew that the man standing before him was powerful. In fact, he probably rivaled his boss.

    ¡°Well, enough with the formalities. Let¡¯s get started,¡± he said, ready to use everyst ounce of strength he had to beat his opponent.

    An earth-shattering explosion filled the air as he started forming a vortex. He stood firmly in the center of the swelling whirlwind. The leaves and branches of the bushes around him were yanked left and right to the rhythm of its spinning motion.

    ¡°Mask man,¡± the ck man called out to Zhao Yao.

    He was gradually being lifted into the air as the vortex around him grewrger and rued more energy. The immense pressure within the sphere of air was reaching its breaking point.

    ¡°I am not like those idiots in the mall. We¡¯re different. They¡¯re just civilians. Me? I¡¯m a soldier. I¡¯m trained for battle.¡±

    Xiao Ming and the security team watched in horror at the scene unfolding before them.

    ¡°Jesus Christ, is he a Saiyan?¡± Jia Jia burst out, filming the showdown.

    Xiao Ming¡¯s eyes were unblinking as he watched the ck man.

    ¡°This is real power! He¡¯s not just controlling the air, he¡¯s manipting it,¡± he mused.

    As the pressure continued to climb, the winds grew stronger still. The vehicles were starting to shake from the force. It looked like they were about to be lifted off the ground.

    Xiao Ming was awestruck. He could feel the blood pumping in his ears. He could feel the heat pooling in his face from excitement.

    ¡°Entire armies won¡¯t stand a chance against this! This man is above and beyond the superhumans I¡¯ve seen so far. He¡¯s the one I¡¯m looking for!¡±

    Everyone watched, gaping, as the ck man bent his knees, then lunged for Zhao Yao.

    He was spinning like a category five tornado, his clenched fists encased by the air vortex he had been building up just now.

    Every leaf and branch on the ground was being sucked into its center, then spat out as quickly, ripped into tiny pieces by the zaps of wind.

    He kept going, twisting faster and faster.

    The ck man was pushing himself to his limit. He had never umted this level of energy before. His nakedness, coupled with thepleteck of hair on his head, helped him get there. Every pore on his body was unhindered and free to release air waves.

    Each of his bones and tendons was vibrating from the surge of energy.

    It almost felt like too much. He felt like it might tear him apart.

    However, he kept going.

    He knew that no one would be able to withstand the impact that he was about to make.

    Even if Zhao Yao somehow managed to evade it, he had a whole slew of backup ns to defeat him.

    Victory would be his.

    The expression on his face was utterly savage as he got ready to hit his target.

    Every ounce of power he had umted was balled up in his fists, which were about to ram into Zhao Yao¡¯s chest.

    The ck man let rip a roar as he struck.

    He hit nothing.

    Like a phantom, Zhao Yao had disappeared into thin air.

    ¡°What?¡± he uttered, a look of disbelief on his face.

    Zhao Yao was never actually there, facing down the ck man. He was still concealed by Elizabeth¡¯s illusion, where he could safely conjure an apparition of himself.

    As the ck man remained rooted to the ground, stunned, Zhao Yao gently called Matcha¡¯s name.

    For a moment, time stood still.

    When it started ticking again six secondster, the ck man had been thrown off his feet and sent flying through the air.

    Hended on the grass with a loud thump. Hey there, unmoving. The deafening whirling of the vortex had long died down.

    It was silent.

    Xiao Ming stared, dumbfounded, at the man crumpled on the ground.

    ¡°Instant kill?¡±

    ¡°How could that happen?¡±

    ¡°How does a man like that end up defeated so quickly?¡±

    He had thought that the ck man was invincible

    He craned his neck in hopes of spotting Zhao Yao, but he was gone without a trace.

    When Xiao Ming turned back, the ck man¡¯s limp body had disappeared as well.

    ¡°Oh dear, this is not good,¡± Zhao Yao muttered.

    ¡°There are too many witnesses. I might have been caught on tape. This is going to be a problem.¡±

    He was walking towards the ck man, who had trails of blood dripping from the corners of his lips and down his chin. Both of them were now hidden from sight by Elizabeth¡¯s illusion.

    ¡°You...¡± the ck man started as he watched Zhao Yao approach, ¡°How did you do this?¡±

    There was no trace of smugness or aggression in his eyes. Instead, they showed fear.

    ¡°How did he defeat me in an instant without even raising a finger?¡± he thought.

    ¡°It can¡¯t just be psychokinesis or teleportation. It¡¯s something even stealthier, something scarier.¡±

    The inability to make sense of his opponent had robbed the man of his previous confidence. He did not know what would happen next. That was terrifying to him.

    ¡°C¡¯mon, let¡¯s go. Take me to your boss,¡± Zhao Yaomanded.

    The ck man looked up at him in surprise.

    He knew that refusing would not be wise. Having been at the receiving end of Zhao Yao¡¯s blows, he was unsure if even his boss could protect him.

    ¡°I¡¯ll take you on one condition. You can¡¯t kill me,¡± he said.

    ¡°I¡¯m not gonna kill you. You¡¯re just a normal human without your borrowed ability.¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at his watch.

    ¡°We¡¯ll leave now. I have work to do tomorrow.¡±

    He looked down at the serval cat nestled in his arms. She was staring longingly at the animal keeper, or rather, her mama.

    ¡°I feel like the bad guy here,¡± Zhao Yao thought.

    He stroked the serval¡¯s head.

    ¡°She raised you?¡±

    The serval nodded. She looked up at him with an expression that was filled with both innocence and sorrow.

    ¡°Can I say goodbye to her?¡± she asked.

    ¡°Goodbye? There¡¯s no need for that. You¡¯re staying here,¡± he lowered her to the ground.

    The cat looked at him in surprise.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you and that guy over there here to capture me?¡±

    ¡°Well, I¡¯ve gotta lug that guy to see his boss, so my hands are kinda full. There¡¯s no room for you.¡±

    Zhao Yao took a quick look at the mission panel. He had already gained an extra diamond and twice the experience points for catching the serval. He nodded, satisfied.

    ¡°You can go,¡± he said.

    The serval cast an odd look at Zhao Yao, then sprang away as quickly as she could. She was afraid that he might change his mind.

    Zhi Yun broke into a smile when she spotted the serval leaping out of the darkness. She wiped away her tears as the catunched herself into her arms and licked her face.

    Zhao Yao nodded as he watched the reunion.

    Then, his attention was back on the ck man. He turned around and got him on his feet.

    ¡°Jeez, you¡¯re heavy,¡± heined.

    ¡°You shouldn¡¯t have hurt him so badly!¡± Matchamented, ¡°Now you have to carry him in your arms. It¡¯s superme.¡±

    ¡°Shut up.¡±

    ¡°You could¡¯ve just tripped him or something, but you just had to show off.¡±

    ¡°Shut it, stupid cat.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯ve got to call Inspector Ho to clean up your stupid mess.¡±

    ¡°I know that, idiot. I left my phone in the car.¡±

    Zhao Yao, the ck man he was supporting, and the cats in his backpack, escaped the zoo unnoticed thanks to the illusion that hid them from view.

    A call was eventually made to Inspector Ho, who sent his men to take care of the incident and keep it under wraps.

    Xiao Ming, however, was not going to let this rest.

    The next day, the guide from the zoo arrived at his office to deliver a sh drive. It contained security footage fromst night.

    ¡°You¡¯ve destroyed all the other copies?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mr. Xiao. The copy you have in your hands is the only one left.¡±

    *

    As for Zhao Yao, he had spent a good chunk of the night helping the wounded ck man to his Panamera.

    This brought about a fresh wave ofints from Matcha.

    ¡°Why did you pick a spot so far away? We¡¯ve been walking for 20 minutes!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not like you¡¯re doing the walking. Keep talking, and you will be.¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t walk! I don¡¯t have shoes on! This ce is filthy, and I could hurt my delicate paws.¡±

    Zhao Yao ignored him. He was preupied with the sticky sensation of sweat rolling down his back. He may be stronger than the average person, but the ck man was at least 200 pounds. Dragging him to the car was quite the workout.

    ¡°So, where can I find this boss of yours?¡± Zhao Yao asked when they finally climbed into the Panamera.

    Once he located the leader of the ring of cat thieves, he would be able to destroy the organization. He was willing to do whatever it takes. Inspector Ho can clean up the mess.

    The ck man hesitated but revealed an address in the end.

    With a roar of the engine, the Panamera shot forward, heading to their destination.

    They were going to a vi situated in the west of an affluent suburb. It was a lovely neighborhood. Flourishing greenery lined the pavements. Thevish mansions were arranged in a neat gridyout. Each house they passed boasted a unique style.

    With the ck man locked in the Panamera, Zhao Yao made his way down the street; the cat backpack slung over his shoulders.

    ¡°Number 42...number 42...¡± he repeated under his breath as he walked by each house.

    He stopped in front of a white building.

    ¡°I guess this is it?¡±

    As he got ready to enter the mansion, his phone started vibrating.

    He fished it from his pocket.

    It was Inspector Ho.

    ¡°Hello?¡± he said.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, you must calm down!¡± the inspector eximed, ¡°Do not act rashly. Let¡¯s talk things through.¡±

    He pursed his lips, confused.

    ¡°What¡¯s up with you? Why are you acting like I¡¯m about tomit suicide or something?¡±

    The inspector ignored the question. Instead, he asked, ¡°Where are you right now?¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re standing right outside 42 Tianhe Royal Court, aren¡¯t you? What are you up to? Taking on Ho Hao Cang?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyebags drooped down like heavy sandbags as he spoke, ¡°You guys searched way too fast... Or should I say...¡± He suddenly reacted, ¡°Does this guy have a huge background? You both share the same surname Ho, this guy here might even be your son.¡±

    ¡°Have you watched One Piece?¡± Uncle Ho ignored Zhao Yao¡¯s question and asked instead.

    Zhao Yao was left in a daze as he didn¡¯t expect a question like thating from Uncle Ho. Nheless, he answered, ¡°Are you saying that this fellow here is Luffy? Someone with strong abilities, an intimidating background, and connections with people from both ends of the spectrum. ¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Uncle Ho responded. ¡°I¡¯m saying that this fellow here is like the Celestial Dragon. Anyone who fights him is simply unlucky. ¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes. In One Piece (Anime), Celestial Dragon has an intimidating background and the fact that Uncle Hopared Celestial Dragon to He Hao Cang highlighted the problem that they were faced with.

    Zhao Yao shook his head and responded, ¡°It doesn¡¯t even matter to me. Even if he is Saiyan, I¡¯ll still beat him up!¡±

    Uncle Ho asserted, ¡°Zhao Yao! Don¡¯t you get too cocky! You beat him up today and trust me, I¡¯ll bring all my men to where you are now. I¡¯ll station people to stand outside your cafe every day and we¡¯ll see how you can continue to run your business.¡±

    ¡°Are you fooling around with me?¡± Zhao Yao snapped. ¡°Let me tell you something. I¡¯ve raised my supercats for so long and until today, I¡¯m still afraid that they will turn mad one day. They may not know how to y fetch, but I¡¯m sure they can fight and kill people if I allow them to. What do you say?¡±

    ¡°Are you threatening me now?!¡±Uncle Ho bellowed.

    ¡°You are the one who¡¯s threatening me, sir!¡± Zhao Yao replied. ¡°I¡¯ve achieved so much on my own relying solely on my bravery, money, and cats. And now you want to tell me what¡¯s the right thing to do?¡±

    ¡°Oh, you think you are young and dangerous?¡± Uncle Ho mocked. ¡°Aren¡¯t you still a virgin little guy?¡±

    ¡°You invaded my privacy?¡± Zhao Yao pretended to be angry but was extremely humiliated.

    ¡°Listen up. I am a respectful and pure man. It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to lose my virginity. I am a believer in sex after marriage. ¡±

    ¡°Come on, there¡¯s nothing shameful about being a virgin. Who hasn¡¯t been through that stage? Shall I bring you to the massage parlor?¡± Uncle Ho smiled as he tried to tempt Zhao Yao with an alluring tone.

    ¡°Ma...Massage parlor? What kind of massage parlor?¡±

    ¡°Come on... We all know.¡± Uncle Ho sighed and continued. ¡°The kind that lets you release all your raging hormones which you kept in your body all these years.¡±

    Zhao Yao stuttered and asked, ¡°T...That¡¯s not very nice, isn¡¯t it? Won¡¯t we get caught? What if they tell our rtives? My parents are very conservative...¡±

    ¡°What are afraid of? It¡¯s a public massage parlor!¡± Uncle Ho continued to tempt Zhao Yao. ¡°I heard that there¡¯s a new opening in the east district recently and they are all fresh university graduates. You know you could get her to ****. ¡±

    ¡°****?!¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes widened in surprise and started to breathe heavily. ¡°Won¡¯t that be too disrespectful?¡±

    ¡°They are all professionals. In fact, if you continue to act like this, you¡¯re the one who is humiliating them. So what do you say? I¡¯ll settle everything and I promise that you¡¯ll have a good time.¡±

    By this time, Zhao Yao¡¯s face was already glowing red as his breathing got heavier and heavier. All sorts of sexual images and clips started to sh through his mind.

    Suddenly, Elizabeth pped Zhao Yao on the face with her paw and snapped, ¡°Zhao Yao! Are you horny? Suggest another request!¡±

    Matcha also appeared all of a sudden and stared at Zhao Yao with a look of disdain on his face. ¡°Hey... Where did your virtues go...¡±

    ¡°You are not a virgin anymore yourself.¡± Zhao Yao squeezed the cats back to where they were as he got back to his senses. He suppressed his inner desires and suggested, ¡°I won¡¯t hit him but on one condition. Help me pay rent (the cat cafe) for 20 years.¡±

    ¡°A year is the most I can offer you. Anything more than that and our department would go bankrupt.

    ¡°A year? Don¡¯t fool around with me! 10 years or I¡¯ll smash this mansion t!¡±

    ¡°You think you are a qigong master? 3 years, nothing more.¡±

    ¡°Seven years. Last chance before I...¡±

    ¡°5 years, I¡¯ll pay the rent and you don¡¯t have to pay any tax. I even pulled out my savings for this, don¡¯t you dare reject this offer.¡±

    Uncle Ho thought to himself: ¡®A cat cafe won¡¯t earn that much anyway. The tax money is negligible.¡¯

    Zhao Yao acted as if he was in deep thought and eventually agreed, ¡°I guess I have no choice. For the sake of harmony between humans and supercats and for the sake of social stability, I¡¯ll have to make this sacrifice on my part. Let go of him.¡±

    Elizabeth and Matcha spat in disgust in the kitty bag. ¡°Hypocrite.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought to himself: ¡®Hmm, I can¡¯t do anything about this guy since Uncle Ho knows about it. Hehe, I¡¯ll just have to wait for the next opportunity to find trouble with him.¡¯ Anyway, Zhao Yao had toplete this mission one day.

    In fact, the moment Zhao Yao received the call from Uncle Ho, he already knew that he wouldn¡¯t have the chance to attack today.

    Zhao Yao took ast look at the vi in front of him and turned around to leave as he muttered under his breath. ¡°What an old creep. To think that he tried to tempt me through sexual means.¡±

    Uncle Ho was watching from the satellite imagery all this while. As he saw Zhao Yao turning around to leave, he heaved a sigh of immense relief and threw his body onto the couch. He sighed, ¡± Man... Can¡¯t believe we wasted the chance of visiting the massage parlor.¡±

    ¡°What did you say?¡±

    ¡°Nothing.¡±

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Have you sent people over to the female cat breeder? She¡¯s a pretty decent girl and her cats seem to have the power to control animals.¡±

    ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ve sent people to talk to her. Rest assured, we won¡¯t make things difficult for people who are nice.¡±

    ¡°Oh right, I still have a ck man over here.¡±

    ¡°ck man...¡± Inspector Ho replied. ¡°Just leave him there, I¡¯ll send someone to pick him up.¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s naked, you ought to bring some clothes for him.¡±

    ¡°Naked?¡± Uncle Ho raised an eyebrow.

    Uncle Ho hanged up the phone and recalled what Zhao Yao said during their call. He was d that Jiangmen¡¯s strongest apostle turned out to be such a righteous man.

    ¡®Oh man... I really wanted to try out that massage parlor though...¡±

    ¡°This Zhao Yao... He really looked like he wanted to experience it...¡±

    Soon after hanging up, a muscr man with neatly shaven inch-long hair barged into the room.

    Lin Chen snapped as he walked in and saw a dull-looking Uncle Ho. ¡°Inspector, the masked man just appeared at the wildlife zoo right? Why didn¡¯t you tell me.¡±

    Inspector Houghed it off and said, ¡°He already escaped anyway, there¡¯s no point in going down there now. Let¡¯s just wait for Xiao Wang to collect the all the clues and evidence.¡±

    Lin Chen stated at Inspector Ho with a doubtful pair of eyes. Ever since Lin Chen lost the battle against the killer cat, he had been training hard every day in an effort to ovee his physical limits and unleash his true potential.

    Compared to a month ago, Lin Chen¡¯s powers are now much more advanced and hisbat strength has improved tremendously.

    All this time, the only thing he wished to do was to defeat and capture the masked man.

    However, after countless rounds of investigation, they were still unable to track down the identity of the masked man. Somehow, video footages of the masked man were always corrupted or lost. Lin Chen suspected that there¡¯s someone from the inside who have been helping to cover up his tracks and keep his identity well-hidden.

    ¡°I will personally find him, defeat him and capture him. I promise.¡± Lin Chen announced as he looked at Uncle Ho.

    Uncle Houghed. ¡°Lin Chen, there¡¯s no need to work that hard. We are all civil servants; wee to work and get off work on time. It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want to work your shift. Just treat me to a sauna or karaoke session.¡±

    Lin Chen stared at Uncle Ho with a look of disdain in his eyes as he took a few steps back. He said, ¡°Please take note of the consequences, Inspector Ho. As civil servants, we will get fired if we are found in those ces.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t be shy, Xiao Lin.¡± Uncle Houghed as he spoke. ¡°In order to achieve more in life, we need to learn to reward ourselves asionally.¡±

    Lin Chen took another step back and asserted, ¡°No thanks. I already have a girlfriend.¡± He whipped out his phone and showed his wallpaper to Zhao Yao.

    ¡°I¡¯m content with having just my girlfriend.¡±

    Inspector Ho stared at the wallpaper and sniggered, ¡°Pfft, otaku.¡±

    ...

    After the ck man was taken away, Zhao Yao drove home as he yawned continuously.

    Baiquan is now living in Zhao Yao¡¯s house. As both rooms which were once upied by the stray cats are now vacant, Baiquan chose one of the rooms as his personal bedroom.

    The moment Zhao Yao reached home, Elizabeth and Matcha eagerly leaped out of the Kitty bag and went to do their own things. Matcha climbed up his massage throne while Elizabeth darted towards the window ledge and started using her phone.

    Exhausted, Zhao Yao took a quick shower and went to sleep.

    But just as Zhao Yao fell asleep, a long-haired teen was creating a havoc over at Unit 42 vi.

    ¡°Are you kidding me? Big Head and Fat Dragon aren¡¯t back yet and now cky is gone?¡± Ho Hao Cang shouted as he threw a ceramic vase on the floor. The ear-shattering sound of the broken case echoed through the vi.

    The housekeeper spoke in aposed manner. ¡°Master, there¡¯s plenty of things going on over at Ho Jian Jun¡¯s side recently. These are all orders from the higher-ups. Master, you should just go along with their n.¡±

    ¡°Mmm.¡± Ho Hao Cang spoke softly. ¡°Well, of course, I won¡¯t go against the decisions made by the higher-ups but I certainly can stir some trouble with other people. I am 101% supportive of the ns made by the higher-ups but this doesn¡¯t mean that any Tom, Dick or Harry can piss on me that easily.¡±

    ¡°The masked man from before... Continue to hunt him down.¡± He squinted his eyes and continued. ¡°Also, about the cky incident. Send someone to investigate how they managed to capture cky. It¡¯s impossible for any normal person under Ho Jian Jun to be of cky¡¯s caliber.¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, in Baiquan¡¯s room, Baiquan was filming himself with a video camera which was ced on the table. He seemed to be ¡®hosting¡¯ some sort of magic show. ¡°My unorthodox magic tricks have always attracted lots of attention. I am Liu Qian¡¯s disciple and I¡¯m very familiar with performing close-range magic and evenrge-scale magic tricks. I was even invited to perform live during Chinese New Year. If you any magic trick that you wish to see, please drop a request and I¡¯ll perform it immediately.¡±

    It turns out that Baiquan was actually streaming live. He used his power of invisibility to perform all sorts of magic.

    As he had made a promise to Zhao Yao to abide by thew, he decided to use his invisible power to perform magic tricks instead.

    Baiquan nced at the viewers¡¯ count and smiled to himself delightfully. ¡°Oh! It seems like we have hit over 1000 viewers today. At this rate, we would have a chance to break the record for the most donations made to Anti-Hell¡¯s Foundation. This would prepare us for the huge uing battle.¡±

    However, just as he was about to continue streaming, he felt the growing presence of Hell¡¯s Aura and stopped streaming. Instead, heid down on his bed and smiled contentedly.

    ¡°Ahhhh...¡± He let out a groan as hepletely rxed his body. ¡°It¡¯s Hell¡¯s Aura. Does that mean that Boss is back already?¡± Under the influence of Hell¡¯s Aura, Baiquan felt more rxed than ever and it felt like he was soaking himself in a healing sauna.

    Ever since he experienced Hell¡¯s Aura, Baiquan had been getting more and more ustomed to the presence of this power.

    In fact, the reason why he decided to start streaming was due to Hell¡¯s Aura. When Zhao Yao and Elizabeth left house and Hell¡¯s Aura was no longer in range to take effect, Baiquan couldn¡¯t sleep a wink and decided to start streaming instead.

    Now that Zhao Yao is back and Hell¡¯s Aura is activated once again, Baiquan could feel himself getting lighter and lighter to the point that it felt like he was floating in mid-air. He felt sofortable that he didn¡¯t want to do anything at all. Asziness started to creep in, Baiquan gradually got more tired and eventually fell into deep sleep.

    The next morning, he woke up feeling lighter than ever. Baiquan opened the door to Zhao Yao¡¯s bedroom and saw both man and cat lying on the bed in deep slumber. Zhao Yao¡¯s body was shaped like a starfish as he took up most of the bed space while Matchaid on top of Zhao Yao¡¯s head, partially covering his face as they both snored soundly. Somehow, their snoring created a melodious rhythm which sounded like an orchestral piece.

    Baiquan simplyughed at how cute they looked and turned around to leave. Just as he turned, he heard a soft purring followed by a furry object circling around his legs. He looked down and realized that it was Elizabeth. Baiquan squatted down and said in a gentle tone, ¡°Oh look it¡¯s Elizabeth. Don¡¯t you worry, I¡¯ll prepare some food for you immediately.¡±

    Having stayed in Zhao Yao¡¯s house for a couple of days, he managed to spend some time with the adorable cats while enjoying the healing power of celestial beats. Ever since he moved in, Baiquan felt like he was beginning to live a more fulfilling and carefree life.

    Compared to his previous job as a property agent, his work environment is much more rxed than it used to be. He doesn¡¯t need to wake up early and find scheming ways to convince his customers. Neither does he need to worry about his monthlymission nor worry about his future.

    It turned out that Celestial Beats could help to cure slouching of the body as it straightens the backbone.

    Every morning as Baiquan wakes up under the influence of Hell¡¯s aura, he felt incredibly refreshed and energized. Sometimes, it felt like he could never run out of energy.

    ...

    On the same night, Xiao Shi Yu was staring nkly into space in her newly rented apartment.

    Till today, her past experiences that she had been through still felt very surreal. Sometimes she couldn¡¯t believe that she is actually still alive. However, the strange but rxing aura she experienced at the cafe, Inspector Ho, the government and Zhao Yao served as a reminder to her that all this is in fact real.

    In particr, it was the soothing feeling that came from the cat cafe.

    Just then, Xiao Shi Yu¡¯s phone rang. She looked at the phone disy and it was a call which she had been waiting for all day.

    ¡°Hello, Inspector Ho.¡± Ever since she became themunicating bridge between Zhao Yao and Inspector Ho, she had been calling Inspector Ho at this time every day to ask about Zhao Yao¡¯s situation.

    ¡°Shi Yu... You don¡¯t have to be so polite to me. Just call me Brother Jun. ¡± Inspector Ho answered in a frivolous tone. ¡°Are you at home now?¡±

    Xiao Shu Yu insisted on replying formally. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m waiting for your call to update you on today¡¯s situation.¡±

    ¡°Oh? Does that mean that you are talking to me over the phone naked on your bed?¡±

    Having heard such dirty talking out of Inspector¡¯s Ho mouth, Xiao Shi Yu frowned in anger and snapped,¡± Inspector Ho, please do not flirt with me over the phone. I¡¯ve no interest in a man who is 20 years older than me.¡±

    ¡°Flirting? There seems to be some misunderstanding here Xiao Xiao. It¡¯s cold today, I simply asked you that question out of concern. Inspector Ho put up an act to show that he was hurt by Xiao Shi Yu¡¯s words. ¡°You young people... What are you guys thinking in your heads?¡±

    Annoyed by his words, Xiao Shi Yu curled her lips and asked again, ¡°Inspector Ho, do you still want me to update on Zhao Yao¡¯s situation?¡±

    ¡°Right.¡± Inspector Ho finally got serious after hearing Xiao Shi Yu¡¯s reply and asked, ¡°How is he today? Is he exceptionally bad-tempered today and did he do anything out of the ordinary?¡±

    Shi Yu responded, ¡°Zhao Yao did not do anything extraordinary today. He spends most of his time in the cat cafe ying online games. Other than the mysterious aura that is emitted from one of his cats, he did not use any of his other powers.¡±

    Inspector Ho asked in a serious tone. ¡°Mysterious aura?... I remember you telling me about this before. What¡¯s the use of the aura?¡±

    ¡°The use of the aura?¡± Xiao Shi Yu knitted her eyebrows and answered, ¡°I¡¯m not that sure of its actual purpose but I¡¯d say that it makes you feel reallyfortable and rxed.¡±

    ¡°Comfortable?¡± Inspector Ho was intrigued by such a vague description and asked, ¡°Other than feelingfortable, are they any other uses?¡±

    ¡°It seems like I slept better these few days.¡± Shi Yu replied.

    ¡°Oh.¡± Inspector Ho seemed slightly disappointed as he nodded his face. ¡°In that case, please continue to observe Zhao Yao¡¯s daily activities. As long as he doesn¡¯t go about wrecking havoc and killing people, you don¡¯t have to do anything to stop him. If the situation goes out of control, contact me immediately.¡±

    ¡°Roger.¡± Xiao Shi Yu continued,¡± I¡¯ve got to admit that the weird aura does make you feel veryfortable. With this energy emitted from his cat cafe, Zhao Yao¡¯s cat cafe business has seen a vast improvement these days.¡±

    However, it seemed like Inspector Ho wasn¡¯t interested in what Shi Yu was saying as he instructed, ¡°Right, don¡¯t forget to watch out for your own safety. You don¡¯t have sufficient training and you don¡¯t have any superpowers. If you encounter a fight, run as far as you can. Never ever go in and try to be a hero, understood?¡±

    ¡°Yeah yeah I know. Do you really think that someone like me who is afraid of death would charge in like that?¡± Shi Yuughed as she answered.

    ¡°Good, stay that way. Surviving is our only hope.¡± Uncle Ho sighed and sounded like there was a tinge of sadness in his tone.

    After speaking what he wanted to say, Uncle Ho hanged up. Xiao Shi Yu stared at the phone disy and mumbled, ¡°This old man... He¡¯s a decent leader after all.¡±

    She looked at the time and it was only 11.

    ¡°10 more hours to work tomorrow.¡±

    Somehow, Shi Yu was really looking forward to work tomorrow.

    ¡°Ahh, it really felt sofortable.¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao was rudely woken up from his sleep.

    He opened his eyes and saw Matcha¡¯s entire body resting on his face; he was almost suffocated in his sleep.

    Zhao Yai grabbed Matcha by the neck and hurled him away as Matcha backflipped and rolled several times on the bed. Miraculously, Matcha was still sound asleep and continued to snore loudly.

    ¡°What the... This guy snores louder than I do.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes as Matcha slept like a dead log.

    Normally, cats tend to be very vignt animals. While they seem to sleep all day, most of the time they were just taking a quick shut-eye and would wake up in the slightest of movement. They only enter deep sleep for a few hours each day.

    However, it clearly wasn¡¯t the case for Matcha. As an intelligent cat, Matcha does not stay vignt when he is at home. Coupled with the fact that he spends most of the day staring at a phone disy, it takes up a lot of his energy and makes him easily tired. In order to quickly energize himself, he would enter deep sleep.

    Zhao Yao kicked Matcha on the head but Matcha responded by hugging his feet and licking it. Zhao Yao shook his leg and said, ¡°Rise and shine, let¡¯s get ready for work.¡±

    Matcha stuck out his tongue and continued to sleep, showing no intention of waking up anytime soon.

    Zhao Yao began rubbing Matcha¡¯s head, back, and butt in an effort to wake him up. However, after several minutes of shaking and rubbing, Matcha remains soundly asleep and snored even louder than before.

    Zhao Yao tickled Matcha¡¯s white furry belly, rolled him a couple of times and Matcha still hasn¡¯t woken up.

    Even after a backflip which resulted in Matchanding t on his belly, he continued to snore and refused to wake up.

    ¡°What the heck... What time did you stay up untilst night...¡±

    As Zhao Yao stared at Matcha¡¯s white furry belly and his motionless body, an idea shed through his mind.

    He picked up Matcha¡¯s phone, turned it on and clicked on the Mobile Legends application.

    ¡°timi~~~!!¡±

    Upon hearing the sound of Mobile Legends being opened, Matcha¡¯s furry ears twitched a little.

    As the home screen began to load, a majestic background music started to y out loud.

    Apanied by the sound of the music, Matcha¡¯s ears twitched rhythmically to the beat of the drums and suddenly he sat up and eximed, ¡°All troops deployed!¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re finally awake?¡± Zhao Yao rubbed Matcha¡¯s confused looking head and said, ¡°Go wash your face and get ready for work.¡±

    As Zhao Yao walked out of the bedroom, he was greeted by the sight of Baiquan mopping the floor with a mask on his face and an apron wrapped around his body. Baiquan greeted, ¡°Morning boss! I¡¯ve made some porridge for you in the kitchen. The salted egg and mustard are in the fridge so please help yourself.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded delightfully and walked into the kitchen. He¡¯s d to have invited Baiquan over to stay in his house. Ever since he moved in, Baiquan bathed in celestial beats daily and began to worship Zhao Yao for giving him such an opportunity. In order to express his gratitude, Baiquan volunteered to do all the housework by himself.

    ¡°Baiquan may look intimidating on the outside with his huge, bulky size but it turns out that he is really good at doing household chores.¡±

    Half an hourter, the supercats have already woken up, washed their face and ate their breakfast. Zhao Yao started his Panamera and drove them straight to the cat cafe.

    On the way, Elizabeth sullenly asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, why is the breakfast serving so small today? If I don¡¯t eat enough for breakfast, I¡¯ll have low blood sugar and it would affect my mood throughout the day.¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled and answered, ¡°Elizabeth, hang in there for awhile, would you? I¡¯ve brought in some kitty food and snacks into the shop. You can have someter.¡±

    As of now, Elizabeth is the trump card for the sess of his cat cafe. Hence, Zhao Yao¡¯s attitude towards her had improved tremendously these days.

    Matcha raised his paw and announced, ¡°I would like some cat rice. I didn¡¯t drink much water yesterday so I wish to eat something moist...¡±

    ¡°Scram.¡±

    Roly Poly eavesdropped at a corner and thought to himself: ¡®How typical.¡¯

    ¡°Look at how different he treated Matcha! Just because he doesn¡¯t have the ability to draw in customers...¡± Roly Poly thought. ¡°Before Meow Gibson and his crewe to rescue me, I¡¯ll just have to sacrifice my ego and bite the bullet for the time being.¡±

    20 minutester, they arrived at the town as the Panamera slowly came to a stop. However, it didn¡¯t stop at a parking lot in the carpark but instead, it stopped at a dead end with no surveince camera.

    Confused, Baiquan questioned, ¡°Boss, aren¡¯t we parking in the carpark?¡±

    ¡°Carpark? No way, the parking fees are way too expensive. I don¡¯t have any more money to spend on transportation anymore. But I¡¯ve thought of a solution.¡±

    Zhao Yao took out the palm-sized Dust Ball from his pocket and instructed, ¡°Dust Ball, eat the car.¡±

    Roly Poly, Matcha and Elizabeth said in unison, ¡°Stingy.¡±

    Dust Ball was lost for words for a moment and she snapped a secondter. ¡°Do you want me to die? How can I possibly eat such a big object! Can¡¯t you find a parking lot for yourself.¡± Her sharp feminine voice echoed in their minds.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, this is too much. I¡¯m fine with helping you to keep your wallet, phone, and clothes but a car now?? What am I to you?¡±

    ¡°My extradimensional belly. Come on, the Panamera weighs less than 2 tonnes, it won¡¯t exceed the limit of your power.¡± Zhao Yao sounded slightly annoyed as he replied.

    ¡°No! I won¡¯t eat it! Not even if you beat me to death!¡± Dust Ball yelled.

    Zhao Yao looked straight into Dust Ball¡¯s eyes and said, ¡°You really won¡¯t eat it?¡±

    Dust Ball snapped, ¡°Of course not! I¡¯m not a rubbish bin that eats anything!¡±

    ¡°So you¡¯re not eating it?¡± Zhao Yao sighed. ¡°I¡¯ll eat it then.¡±

    Instantly, Zhao Yao swapped his power to Dust Ball¡¯s power. He opened his mouth and activated the extradimensional belly power.

    Failed!

    Failed!

    Failed!

    Power activated sessfully!

    Dust Ball stared in shock as she saw the Panamera transform into distorted streaks of light and converge into a single point in a vortex-like manner before disappearing into Zhao Yao¡¯s mouth. The moment it disappeared, Zhao Yao coughed several times; his mouth stank of gasoline.

    Dust Ball waspletely speechless while Matcha broke into cold sweat.

    Zhao Yao nodded in satisfaction and brought the cats into the cat cafe. Baiquan, who was following behind, could not shake the scene of Zhao Yao swallowing the car off his mind. Upon seeing his powers in real life, he had a newfound respect for Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Is this Hell¡¯s Magic? I wonder when I¡¯ll be able to control such powers. If I could swallow a car during a live performance, I¡¯m sure many people would be greatly impressed by such a sight.¡±

    As they walked into the cafe, they realized that Xiao Shi Yu came really early in the morning to open the shop. Apparently, she had already diligently arranged the furniture and cleaned the cafe in preparation for the day¡¯s business. As soon as Zhao Yao arrived at the cafe, a wide smile appeared on her face.

    As a matter of fact, the reason why Xiao Shi Yu came to work so eagerly at 5 am in the morning is solely for the purpose of awaiting Zhao Yao¡¯s arrival.

    She knows that Zhao Yao¡¯s arrival would bring along the soothing aura which she enjoyed so much.

    ¡°Whoa aren¡¯t you early? What time did you reach?¡± Zhao Yao asked Shi Yu as he was surprised to see her in the shop that early. ¡°You don¡¯t have to be here that early. There¡¯s

    not much business in the morning anyway.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay! I don¡¯t have much to do at home anyway so I might as well make my way here earlier.¡± Xiao Shi Yu acted as if it wasn¡¯t such a big deal.

    After exchanging their morning greetings, Zhao Yao found a ce to sit down in the cafe and began to surf the on hisptop.

    The rest of the cleaning and arranging of furniture were all done by Baiquan and Xiao Shi Yu.

    Roly Poly stared at Zhao Yao who had been ying games on hisptop all this while andmunicated with the other cats through their minds. ¡°Zhao Yao is getting out of hand. He only knows how to enjoy and y every day while he leaves the rest of the work to all of us.¡±

    Elizabeth nodded in agreement. ¡°That¡¯s right! My celestial beats are the reason why customers are streaming into the cafe. In the end, he doesn¡¯t even pay us for our efforts. Is that even right?¡±

    Elizabeth asked Matcha for his opinion. ¡°What do you think?¡±

    Strangely, Matcha was busy folding his ears and trying to bend the ends of his ears inwards. For a moment, he resembled the looks of a Scottish Fold with his folded ears.

    Matcha turned his head around and replied,¡± Hmm? What did you just say? I¡¯m George Matcha, I just came back from Ennd. I didn¡¯t quite understand what you just said.¡±

    ¡°You fool,¡± Elizabeth responded. ¡°Why are you even acting like a Scottish Fold? Did you even hear what he said? Even if you manage to bring in customers, you even won¡¯t be paid a single cent. ¡±

    Actually, Zhao Yao had agreed to reward Elizabeth and Matcha if they manage to bring in customers. But seeing how little they were rewarded inparison to how much Zhao Yao is earning, it seemed like the reward was way too unsatisfactory and naturally felt that it was unfair.

    Upon hearing what Elizabeth and Roly Poly said, Matcha pretended to continue folding his ear as he remained silent.

    Suddenly, Matcha bolted towards the direction where Zhao Yao was sitting and shouted out loud. ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! Those two betrayers are talking bad things about you behind your back and have the intention of stealing money from you! They are unhappy that they aren¡¯t paid a single cent for bringing in so many customers daily and they want to steal money from you!¡±

    As he shouted, Matcha quickly hid behind Zhao Yao¡¯s back as he peered over his shoulder and stared cunningly at Elizabeth and Roly Poly.

    ¡°Heheheheh! The limelight is on you guys now.¡± Matcha¡¯s evil chuckle echoed in Elizabeth and Roly Poly¡¯s mind. ¡°I¡¯m sorry folks, this is the cruel reality. Thepetition is fierce; there can only be one champion in this cafe. From today onwards, you guys would have to look up to me as the most popr cat in this cafe!¡±

    Elizabeth rolled her eyes and snapped, ¡°You stupid fool!¡±

    Just as Matcha finished his sentence, Zhao Yao shifted his gaze towards Roly Poly and Elizabeth.

    ¡°You want to steal my money?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s intimidating and murderous gaze sent chills down their spine.

    His gaze was as cold as an eternal blizzard; the cats couldn¡¯t help but began to feel more and more anxious. Without even opening his mouth to speak, goosebumps started to appear on their skin as they feared for their lives.

    Roly Poly was the first to go down on his knee. He begged for mercy as he stuttered, ¡°Z...Zhao Yao! I don¡¯t know anything at all! It...It was Elizabeth who abetted us to turn against you!¡±

    A stream of yellowish liquid started to flow out from his body. Roly Poly was so afraid that he peed on himself.

    ¡°You disgusting betrayer!¡± Elizabeth yelled into Roly Poly¡¯s mind as her eyes lit up with fury. ¡°You have absolutely no guts at all! Watch closely, this time I¡¯ll get what I rightfully deserve from Zhao Yao himself!¡±

    ¡°But you¡¯re facing Zhao Yao! The fiercest and most evil human being in history! The cat terminator!¡± Roly Poly turned to look at Elizabeth but Elizabeth¡¯s face remained unchanged. Though you could tell that she was dead serious from her face, the lower half of her body couldn¡¯t help but shiver uncontrobly. Her white fur kept on dropping on the floor like snow as she shivered in fear.

    Roly Poly retorted, ¡°Look, you¡¯re so scared that you¡¯re dropping fur. And you still have the cheek to say those words to me?¡±

    Cats tend to easily drop fur when they are nervous and scared.

    Zhao Yao noticed how badly Elizabeth was shaking from his gaze. Surprisingly, Zhao Yao seemed pretty amicable as he replied with a friendly tone.

    ¡°About what you guys were talking about... I¡¯ve given it some thought these few days as well. In future, if you continue to perform well, I¡¯ll give you guys a dor each for every customer that visits the cafe. There won¡¯t be a limit to how much you guys can earn. I¡¯ll help register you guys with a bank ount each and the money would then be directly transferred to that ount. Sounds good?¡±

    Roly Poly and Elizabeth simply couldn¡¯t believe what they just heard. Never did they ever expect to hear such a response from Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s offer was much higher than what they had in mind. Roly Poly burst outughing as he imagined his shriveled wallet growing in thickness.

    ¡°Long live Zhao Yao! Long live the king!¡± Matcha bowed down continuously in front of Zhao Yao¡¯s leg as he chanted.

    Even Elizabeth looked really excited after Zhao Yaoid out his offer.

    She thought to herself: ¡®A dor for every customer... That¡¯ll be tens of dors a day! I¡¯ll be able to buy so many things in a month!¡±

    Seeing how happy the supercats were, Zhao Yao coughed and announced, ¡°So... Everyone is now in charge of earning money. The harder you work, the better the business and the more money everyone earns. I¡¯ll need everyone¡¯s cooperation to focus on getting us more customers. Let¡¯s keep our phones away when we work. No one is allowed to use them or even secretly keep them with you. Is everyone agreeable? ¡±

    ¡°Yeah!¡± The supercats meowed in unison.

    ¡°In future, I¡¯ll feed you half the amount of food for your eating breaks. The customers will buy you guys food so if you guys eat too much during your meal, you won¡¯t be able to eat what they feed you.¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡± The supercats were fully supportive of his proposal.

    ¡°The more customers we get, the more money we earn. I, Zhao Yao, managed to get so far solely by my bravery and cats. As long as everyone works hard together and seed, I will be sure to reward everyone ordingly. So please be approachable and bear with our customers. We can do this. ¡±

    ¡°Yeah!¡± The supercats cheered once again.

    Following Zhao Yao¡¯s pep talk, the supercats handed their phones over to Zhao Yao, ate half their usual amount for breakfast and proceeded to wait for the customers patiently.

    Elizabeth activated Celestial Beats at its maximum capacity in an effort to make every customer thates in feel so rxed and happy that they wouldn¡¯t even think about leaving.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao came up with an ingenious n to expand the radius of Celestial Beats to the fence. This would then attract customers from outside the cafe without the need for them to enter.

    Though this may attract more attention due to the extensive use of his superpowers, it is all for the elerated growth of the caf¨¦ and Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t care less about the repercussions. After all, this determines how much money and experience points he could gain.

    It was bright and early in the school campus as Yan Xiao Qing woke up from her sleep.

    Her roommate was woken up by the sound of her wearing her clothes as she got up. Yan Xiao Qing¡¯s face was glittering with radiance. Her roommate yawned and asked, ¡°Xiao Qing, why are you waking up so early in the morning recently? Didn¡¯t you sleepte yesterday night?¡±

    Yan Xiao Qing was a cat lover. Besides being a cat lover, Yan Xiao Qing ispletely a ¡°stay home¡± type of girl in the eyes of her roommate. Besides going for lessons every day, she spends the rest of the time surfing the, reading blogs, ying video games and watching cat videos in her room. She does all these things untilte at night before she goes to sleep. That was basically a summary of a day in Xiao Qing¡¯s life.

    Because of that, her face was often covered with pimples and her neck always sore from spending too much time in front of theputer. Huge eye circles surrounded her eyes which made her look like a lifeless person who severelycked sleep.

    However, what Xiao Qing¡¯s roommate just saw was aplete opposite of what she used to be. Her face was overflowing with energy andpletely did not look like someone who had stayed up all night.

    Yan Xiao Qing smiled and replied, ¡°Mmm, I¡¯ve been spending loads of time with cats these days and it seems like I¡¯ve been sleeping better too.¡± Xiao Qing washed her face and look at herself in the mirror. She smiled brightly as she noticed the pimples on her face have begun to slowly fade away.

    Ever since she visited the cat cafe to stroke the cats, she could feel herself getting more and more energized each day. She slept much better than before and it seemed like her hormonal bnce had improvedtely as well.

    Despite sleeping merely five to six hours a day, she still felt incredibly lively and tireless. Even the pimples on her face were beginning to fade away.

    Yan Xiao Qing rubbed her neck and did a neck rotation. Due to her prolonged use of theputer, Xiao Qing always had a chronic neck problem. Miraculously, after several trips to the cat cafe, she no longer has a stiff neck and it felt a lot easier to move her neck around.

    At the thought of visiting the cat cafe again today, Yan Xiao Qing jumped in excitement and couldn¡¯t wait to see the cats again.

    ¡°Should I y with the cats at the cafe today?¡± Xiao Qing thought to herself but noticed how empty her wallet was. ¡°No no... I can¡¯t go there anymore for now or I won¡¯t have enough money for the month.¡±

    Half an hourter, Yan Xiao Qing sent a message to her mother.

    ¡®Mum, how are things over at home? Is everything well?¡±

    ¡°How much?¡±

    ¡°What do you see me as? Mum, I¡¯m just concerned about you.¡±

    ¡°Is RMB200 enough?¡±

    ¡°Okay okay, that¡¯s enough. Mum, stay healthy and take care. Your ve shall take her leave! Talk to you next time! ¡±

    Yan Xiao Qing happily epted the RMB200 from her mum and just as she was about to wear her clothes and leave the house, her mum sent her a load of messages all of a sudden.

    ¡°Treasure your life, stay away from drugs.¡±

    ¡°University students have to face 12 different types of temptations.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t ever inhale white powder in the nightclub.¡±

    Seeing how concerned her mum was, Xiao Qing felt a little guilty about what she just did. But at the thought of going to the cat cafe, she forgot about it quickly and changed into a new set of clothes as sheforted herself. ¡°This is all for my health. This is technology from MIT and because of my studies, I can only sleep five or six hours a day. Time is money; is my time not worth the RMB200?¡±

    As she left the campus, Xiao Qing dragged a female student along with her as she headed for the cat cafe.

    The girl wore a headband on her bob head and was petite in size. She resembled the looks of your average high school student.

    The girl was Yan Xiao Qing¡¯s roommate, An Xin.

    An Xin seemed pretty unhappy as Xiao Qing forcefully dragged her to the cat cafe.

    She shot a re at Xiao Qing, her eyes surrounded by two dark circles. ¡°Xiao Qing! Would you please let me go? I have to revise for the uing test. I¡¯ve already skipped two lessons and if I fail this retest, I¡¯ll have to retake this module next year again!¡±

    Xiao Qing replied, ¡°This is precisely why I brought you along to the cat cafe. Once you spend time with the cats, you¡¯ll feel very energetic and rxed afterward and you¡¯ll be able to revise much more effectively.¡±

    An Xin looked extremely lethargic with her heavy-looking eyebags. She shook her head impatiently as she whined, ¡°But I don¡¯t even like cats!! I was bitten by cats when I was young. Look! The scar is still there. I¡¯m afraid of them...¡±

    Xiao Qing continued to drag her along as she reassured An Xin. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the cats there are very friendly and approachable. They won¡¯t bite or scratch you even if you touch them. Give it a shot! Nothing bad will happen. If you tried and still wish to leave, I¡¯ll leave with you.¡±

    ¡°But I still have to revise...¡±

    ¡°Aren¡¯t we close sisters? When did I ever do anything to hurt you? Let me tell you something. During Year 3 of high school, I was extremely stressed out with the workload but these cats helped me to de-stress and I managed to survive that tough period. Trust me, just spend one or two hours in the cat cafe. You¡¯ll feel so rxed andfortable afterward.¡±

    An Xin rolled her eyes as she couldn¡¯t believe how obsessed Xiao Qing was with cats.

    An Xin took a quick nce at Xiao Qing¡¯s clothing which were covered in cat fur. She secretly swore to herself to never fall in love with cats; she didn¡¯t want her clothes to be covered in fur like Xiao Qing.

    Being the good sister she was, An Xin was unwillingly dragged all the way till they reached the cat cafe. They stood outside the cafe and could see seven customers in the cafe already. For some reason, they seemed to be in some kind of trance.

    There was something strange about the customers in the cafe. One of them was a middle-aged uncle who was teasing the cats in a really disturbing manner. He seemed to have no regard as to how he looked to everyone around him. One of the girls hugged the cat by her arms and buried her head into the cat¡¯s belly. Another middle-aged man was mumbling to the cats in a manner that made him look like a mentally ill person.

    But all of them shared one thing inmon. You could tell from each of their faces that they werepletely enjoying themselves and immersed in a world of blissfulness.

    The weirdest one was a male teenager. He did not y with the cats, instead, he arranged several chairs in a row and simplyid down on the chairs without a thought for his own image. He smiled happily to himself as he dozed off.

    An Xin knew right away that something wasn¡¯t right. Her mind told her to get out of this ce but before she could react, she was already being dragged inside by Yan Xiao Qing.

    The moment she stepped into the cat cafe and exposed herself to the influence of Celestial Beats, she could feel every single cell in her body begin to rx as her thinking slowed down significantly; it felt like she was in a sauna.

    No, it was many times morefortable than a sauna.

    Yan Xiao Qing asked, ¡°How is it? Isn¡¯t itfortable? This effect is produced by the vibration of the bones within the cat; it is massaging your body.¡±

    This was also the reason why Xiao Qing is a regr customer here. Xiao Qing always sat in front of theputer all day long and had been suffering from neck and shoulder difort for some time. But ever since she stepped into the cat cafe, all the difort disappeared into thin air and it felt like she was back to her healthy self.

    An Xin gently closed her eyes and nodded as she immersed herself in rxation.

    Xiao Qing dragged her to sit down on a vacant seat nearby.

    Coco Sun removed her head from the cat¡¯s furry belly and greeted, ¡°Hey Xiao Qing! You¡¯re here!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, Coco. I brought my roomie along.¡±

    Standing beside Coco Sun, Leigh Zhao stared at the two of them.

    Coco Sun and Leigh Zhao have been regr customers of the cat cafe; theye almost every day. In fact, all three of them were studying in the same school so they¡¯ve got to know each other for some time by now.

    Compared to Yan Xiao Qing who could only afford to visit the cafe twice or thrice in a week, Coco and Leigh Zhao were much more affluent. They bathed in Celestial Beats every day; one of them managed to resolve his sore neck while the other managed to sleep better and got rid of her dark circles.

    As Xiao Qing and An Xin were making their way to the cafe, a slightly plump orange cat had been trailing behind them. When An Xin nced over to look at it, the orange cat meowed as it ced both this snowy white paws beside each other and did a praying action.

    An Xin noticed something unique about its ear and asked in curiosity, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with its ear?¡±

    Xiao Qing replied with a slight doubt in her voice. ¡°It looks like a Scottish Fold but they are rarely orange in color. I¡¯m pretty sure its ears weren¡¯t folded thest time I saw him.¡±

    Zhao Yao noticed the two of them standing beside him and exined, ¡°Matcha here is actually a mix between a Scottish Fold and a Lihua cat. He has yet to mature fully before but recently it¡¯s ear folded on its own.¡±

    ¡°Oh is it?¡± Yan Qing eximed excitedly and lifted Matcha up with her hands. Matcha reacted by delivering a flurry of kicks towards Xiao Qing¡¯s chest which made her giggle uncontrobly.

    Xiao Qing brought Matcha to An Xin and offered, ¡°An Xin! Come on, hug it!¡±

    An Xin hesitated for a while and replied, ¡°I think I¡¯ll pass... I¡¯ll just have a look, the clothes I¡¯m wearing today can trap fur easily.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no harm in hugging it... Look at how adorable he is! Come hug it, I¡¯ll take a picture of you.¡±

    Under the influence of Celestial Beats, An Xin seemed to be morefortable with cats as her perceived threat of cats gradually died down. As she stared into Matcha¡¯s huge beady eyes, she suddenly felt that cats were actually pretty cute.

    Suddenly, the orange cat flipped around in Xiao Qing¡¯s arms. It exposed its white furry belly as it started to lick his paws and rubbed its paws across its face.

    Matcha secretly thought to himself: ¡®Hehe, you¡¯re about to fall victim to my killer move.¡¯

    The action of a cat rubbing its face was a ssic way of getting someone to fall in love with them. An Xin saw how defenseless and harmless the orange cat looked as he rubbed his face and couldn¡¯t stop looking at him.

    As she stared at the cat, a ghostly voice spoke to her in a tempting manner. It was Yan Xiao Qing¡¯s voice.

    ¡°An Xin... Touch his belly, this cat won¡¯t bite.¡±

    An Xin hesitated for a moment but eventually gave in and gently stroked Matcha¡¯s furry belly. Somehow, she loved how it felt and continued to stroke its chin, paws, ears and every other ce. She couldn¡¯t stop stroking Matcha.

    At this moment, her mind was in apletely rxed state. She became sozy that she didn¡¯t want to do anything at all. Neither did she want to revise anymore nor did she want to leave the cafe. She just wanted to hug the cats while lying down and waste her entire day away.

    Zhao Yao spoke softly. ¡°Ladies, please order something to eat or drink. You just need to order a drink each at the very least and you can stay here all you want.¡±

    She took a quick nce at the menu and raised an eyebrow. The drinks cost much more than she expected but when she felt how warm and fluffy Matcha was as heid in her arms, she bit her lip and ordered a cup of mocha.

    Yan Xiao Qing hesitated a little too as she saw the prices but painfully ordered a cup oftte eventually. She wasn¡¯t as rich as Coco Sun or Leigh Zhao who could easily afford such drinks; the cost of going to the cafe several times a week was already burning a hole in her pocket. However, although she was broke from visiting the cafe, she loved the ambiance of the cafe and spending time with the cats so much that she still ends up going to the cafe frequently.

    Zhao Yao noticed how contented and blissful An Xin looked and smirked as he spoke into Matcha¡¯s mind. ¡°Nice work Matcha! We have a new customer!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t call me Matcha.¡± Matcha replied with an arrogant tone. ¡°Call me George-Matcha~ No one can escape the charm and temptation of George-Matcha¡¯s snowy white paws and folded ears.¡±

    At a corner of the room, a little girl was stroking Roly Poly¡¯s back continuously back and forth. Roly Poly eavesdropped on the conversation between Matcha and Zhao Yao and mumbled to himself, ¡°Pfft, so cunning...¡±

    The little girl who was stroking Roly Poly was just 10 years old and her name was Xiao Yu as addressed by her mother. Her mother personally brought her here because she knows that Xiao Yu particrly loves big fat cats and Roly Poly is exactly the type of cat that she loves. Ever since then, Xiao Yu has been Roly Poly¡¯s regr customer.

    Her mum is a full-time employed woman. The mother hugged Dust Ball in her arms and gently closed her eyes as she luxuriated herself in the soothing ambiance of the cafe. Ever since she visited the cat cafe, she felt much more youthful than before. She used to wake up in the middle of the night due to neurasthenia. But recently, it seemed like there is a gradual improvement in her condition as she never once woke up in the middle of the night ever since she visited the cafe. As a result, she looks much more lively and energetic than before. The only person who wasn¡¯t too happy about this is her husband. Heined that she hasn¡¯t been spending much time at hometely which led to unfinished household chores.

    She gently stroked Dust Ball and thought to herself: ¡®Alright, let¡¯s just stay here for a little while more. I¡¯ll go back and wash clothes half an hourter. ¡®

    Dust Ball, on the other hand, was focused on chewing on the can of food which the woman held in her hands.

    Dust Ball nced at the woman and cunningly thought to herself, ¡®Woman, I¡¯ll let you hug me since you so kindly brought me a can of food. Once I¡¯m finished eating, you¡¯re of no value anymore.¡¯

    The mother and daughter were simr to Coco Sun; they have been here for the past few days and got to know each other¡¯s faces. The mother was poshly dressed and it was clear that they belonged to a well-off family, exining why they could afford to visit the cafe that often.

    Besides, the cat food sold in the cafe, be it canned food, frozen food or snacks, were all healthy food for the cats. They were all premium cat food which naturally meant that they were expensive.

    The can of food which the mother held in her hands cost about RMB30 but Zhao Yao sold it at a ridiculously high price of RMB100. Though the food was clearly overpriced, some customers who could afford it would still end up purchasing them for the cats.

    Hence, besides the drinks, Zhao Yao was actually earning quite a big sum from the cat food which the customers purchased. This would give him arge sum of earnings by the end of the month, which meant that he would also receive huge amounts of experience points as well.

    <h4>Chapter 96: Xiao Ming¡¯s Arrival</h4>

    At the other side of the cafe, Elizabeth was elegantly perched on one of the cafe tables as she was surrounded by Coco Sun, Leigh Zhao and a bunch of girls who kept on making all sort of embarrassing noises.

    ¡°Elizabeth, you¡¯re so cute!¡±

    ¡°My darling, please stay there. Let me take a photo of you.¡±

    ¡°Look Xiao Wei! Elizabeth¡¯s fur looks so fluffy andfy to touch.¡±

    ¡°Her eyes are so beautiful. They shine exactly like two sapphire gems.¡±

    Disyed in front of Elizabeth was a spread of cat food. A grand total of four canned food, two servings of dried fish, two servings of snacks and one serving of frozen fish biscuit; all of them were arranged neatly in a row and presented to her.

    Elizabeth lowered her head and happily gobbled down the food which was presented in front of her. As she was indulging herself in the food, she experienced a sudden jolt in her head and weird noises came out from her throat as she gagged.

    ¡®Uh...¡¯ She puked a mouthful of undigested food into the can.

    The girls surrounding Elizabeth immediately started to panic and scream in shock.

    ¡°What¡¯s happening to Elizabeth?¡±

    ¡°Is the food quality bad?¡±

    ¡°Boss! Elizabeth just vomited!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry guys.¡± Zhao Yao suddenly appeared behind the girls and assured them with a warm smile. ¡°She just ate a little too fast. Ragdolls like Elizabeth tend to have a weak digestive system; some term it as a ¡°ss stomach¡±. They tend to regurgitate their food when they eat too fast or when they are unable to digest their food asionally. No big deal.¡±

    ¡°Poor thing! She can¡¯t even eat when she wants to...¡±

    ¡°Poor Elizabeth...¡±

    ¡°Boss, I really pity Elizabeth, is there nothing we can do to help her?¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed and replied, ¡°It¡¯s my fault... If I had known that you guys would feed all the canned food to Elizabeth alone, I wouldn¡¯t have sold you that many cans. Elizabeth¡¯s stomach really can¡¯t take that much food. Even if she eats, it is best for her to eat food that aids her digestion.¡±

    Upon hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s exnation, Coco Sun instantly felt remorseful for her actions while Leigh Zhao doubted his words.

    Coco Sun asked, ¡°Boss, in that case, do you sell any of those?¡±

    One of the girls named Xiao Wei answered, ¡°It¡¯s not your fault boss, it¡¯s our fault for feeding her too much. We want to buy food that is suitable for Elizabeth!¡±

    Coco Sun tugged on Zhao Yao¡¯s sleeve and whined, ¡°Boss, sell it to us please!!¡±

    Zhao Yao secretlyughed to himself as he thought: ¡®It¡¯s so easy to earn money from these women.¡¯ He examined all three of their clothing and realized that they were all branded luxury goods; it was clear that they came from rich families. This was also the reason why he introduced so many snacks and canned food to them.

    If they were normal students like Yan Xiao Qing, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have rmended them to buy food for the cats.

    In the next few days, with the help of the intelligent supercats and the effects of Celestial Beats, the cat cafe began to have more and more customers each day. It didn¡¯t take long before Zhao Yao earned a total of over RMB10000 in profits.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s cafe gradually became more well-known as the customers helped to spread the word while some brought in their family members and friends to visit.

    One day, an unexpected guest arrived at Zhao Yao¡¯s cat cafe.

    Xiao Ming stood by the front door of the cat cafe as he nced around the cafe. He could see customers enjoying themselves in the cafe together with Baiquan and Xiao Shi Yu who were busily working their hearts out. His wandering eyes were eventually fixated on Zhao Yao who was yingputer games on hisptop at a corner of the cafe.

    All this time, he utilized all the resources he could get his hands on and went through all the surveince footage at the mall and the zoo in search of the guy.

    Although Zhao Yao had been trying his best to avoid the cameras, he wasn¡¯t a professional and when it came to fighting, it was almost impossible to avoid being filmed on the cameras.

    Uncle Ho sent men to collect the surveince footage of the mall and the zoo but Xiao Ming also secretly hired people to leave a copy for himself.

    After some cross-referencing andparison with multiple footages, Xiao Ming concluded that the person seen at the vi, mall, and zoo was the same guy. He managed to get a closer look at the guy¡¯s face through Jin Jia Jia and the gaming streams.

    Even with his identity confirmed, Xiao Ming wasn¡¯t confident in finding that one person out of millions of people in Jiangmen City with just a picture of him.

    That was until he saw...

    The purpose of making his way down to the cafe was to confirm the guy¡¯s identity and determine if the guy was indeed Zhao Yao whom he had been looking for all this while.

    Seeing that it was indeed Zhao Yao who was yingputer games on hisptop, he grinned from ear to ear as he was more than 80 percent sure that he didn¡¯t get the wrong guy.

    ¡°What a smart move; camouging himself in the midst ofmoners. He obviously has a body of supernatural strength and extraordinary powers. Who would expect him to blend into the crowd and set up a cat cafe for himself?¡± Zhao Yao just became even more mysterious to Xiao Ming at the thought of that.

    Xiao Ming reminded himself of his purpose of traveling to the cafe and walked into the cafe with a sincere look.

    ¡°Wee!¡± Baiquan greeted him as he stepped into the cafe and started to introduce the things he could do in the cafe while passing him the menu.

    Meanwhile, as Xiao Ming immersed himself in the field of Celestial Beats, he felt a strong urge to rx and loosen up.

    ¡°It is obvious that there¡¯s something special about this cat cafe. It¡¯s his shop, after all, it can¡¯t simply just be a normal cafe.¡±

    He once witnessed Zhao Yao¡¯s powers and experienced the mysterious effect of Celestial Beats so he did not believe anything that was written on the menu. He knew it had to be some sort of trickery done by Zhao Yao.

    He ordered a cup oftte and slowly walked towards Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao seemed to have felt someone walking towards him and lifted his head up, only to see Xiao Ming standing in front of him.

    ¡°Master.¡± Xiao Ming greeted Zhao Yao with sincerity. Zhao Yao stared at his face and frowned, ¡°Who are you looking for? I don¡¯t think I know you.¡±

    Zhao Yao panicked a little and thought to himself: ¡®How did this fellow find his way here? It would be troublesome if he could recognize me. Worse still, if more people know about this, they might just associate me with the masked man.¡¯

    Xiao Ming continued, ¡°Master, it¡¯s me. Don¡¯t you remember me? We met at the vi and...¡±

    ¡°Enough enough.¡± Zhao Yao knew he could no longer act his way out of it and shook his head. ¡°Sit down and lower your volume. Don¡¯t disturb my customers.¡±

    Xiao Ming sat down cautiously, looked at Zhao Yao eye and hesitated to speak. He couldn¡¯t think of a way to begin speaking.

    Zhao Yao curled his lips in discontent and asked, ¡°How did you find me?¡±

    Xiao Ming knew he would ask him this and immediately whipped out his phone and loaded a webpage. It was a thread on a forum page titled ¡®Jiangmen City¡¯s most mysterious cat cafe¡¯.

    Zhao Yao browsed through the thread and realized that it was indeed his cat cafe on the forum. There were photos of his cafe and he was even seen in the background in one of the photos.

    Zhao Yao didn¡¯t know whether to cry or tough.

    He sighed and whispered to Xiao Ming, ¡°Who else knows about this besides you?¡±

    ¡°No one else, only me.¡± Xiao Ming replied immediately. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I understand that you do not wish to expose your identity. I¡¯ll make sure that this doesn¡¯t spread to any other person.¡±

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin as he responded, ¡°So why did youe all the way here to meet me?¡±

    Xiao Ming rubbed his palms together as he smiled sheepishly in embarrassment.

    For a moment, there was an awkward silence between the two of them.

    Zhao Yao looked like he couldn¡¯t care less about what Xiao Ming wanted to say to him and continued to surf the on hisptop, ignoring Xiao Ming, who was struggling to find a way to tell him the truth. Xiao Ming looked lost and confused as he tried to organize his thoughts before telling Zhao Yao everything he wanted to say.

    At the corner of Zhao Yao¡¯s eye, Mango back-faced him and dragged a piece of cushion across the floor towards a corner of the room. It looked like he was trying to bury something secretly. Zhao Yao frowned as he recalled that the cushion belonged to the seat of the chair; there¡¯s no reason why he would be ced in a corner of the wall.

    Just then, Zhao Yao had a premonition. He rushed towards Mango, fearing the worst. Mango turned his head around and stared nkly at Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao flipped the cushion over and a gush of pungent urine stench came rushing towards his face. He almost passed out.

    ¡°Sh*t!¡± Zhao Yao cursed. His spections were right; Mango really did pee at the corner of the wall and tried to cover it up with the seat cushion.

    Zhao Yao shot a re at Mango as he saw the pool of urine on the floor. Mango stared at Zhao Yao with an innocent look on his face and meowed as he rubbed against Zhao Yao¡¯s legs. He acted as if he was unaware of the trouble he created.

    ¡°Mango, don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re in heat...¡±

    That was the problem with cats who have yet to be sterilized. During their period of estrus, they would mark the entire ce with their pee. Zhao Yao was so busy with his cafe that he couldn¡¯t find time to sterilize the rest of the cats.

    Zhao Yao quickly grabbed a few pieces of tissue paper and soaked up the pool of urine. He squatted down to clean up the mess but instantly took a few steps back when he did so due to the pungent smell.

    ¡°Holy sh*t! This stinks more than mine.¡± Unwilling to clean the mess, Zhao Yao shook his head and passed a bunch of napkins to Baiquan and instructed, ¡°Baiquan, clean up the mess on the floor and throw the cushion away for me.¡±

    Baiquan was stunned. ¡°?????¡±

    ¡°How could you pee anywhere like that!¡± Zhao Yao reprimanded Mango, who simply couldn¡¯t understand what he did wrong. As he stared at Zhao Yao with his innocent looking eyes, Zhao Yao sighed, ¡°Forget it... It¡¯s about time I brought you guys for sterilization anyway.¡±

    However, he knew that it would be impossible to bring all of them for sterilization at once. He had to wait for Mango to ¡°go out of heat¡± before he can undergo sterilization.

    Hence, Zhao Yao nned to bring them for sterilization in batches. He would buy several cat cages, mark the sterilized cats with a cor and keep them in the cage to prevent their wounds from opening up.

    In order to prevent Mango from peeing everywhere else, Zhao Yao decided to cradle him in his arms and returned back to his seat.

    Mangoid in his arms like a baby as Zhao Yao rubbed his furry head, chest, and stomach asionally. The silly cat simplyid there obediently and stared nkly into space with his huge beady eyes.

    Most cats including supercats like Matcha usually disliked being hugged by humans for extended periods of time. Most would start to kick and squirm about and eventually jump away after a few minutes or ten minutes at most. Zhao Yao simply loved how Mango wouldy in his arms obediently for as long as he wished without squirming around.

    As he teased Mango yfully in his arms, he looked at Xiao Ming and asked, ¡°Still can¡¯t think of what you wanted to say?¡±

    Xiao Ming took a deep breath and smiled awkwardly. ¡°I¡¯m just a little embarrassed to break it to you, but since many people already know about it, I guess I¡¯ll just tell you directly. Truth is, the ce where I¡¯m staying ispletely owned by my granny. However, my granny is being unknowingly scammed by an imposter who tried to interfere with our family¡¯s business. The religious imposter even tried to absorb our business and make it his own. I tried to stop him but this guy had plenty of tricks up his sleeve and managed to neutralize every single threat or danger. Somehow, he managed to earn my granny¡¯s trust and he kept on abusing her trust to get hold of what he wants. I sought help from many masters to deal with him but each and every one of them was dusted off by that guy. He became unstoppable and in fact, all the failed attempts fuelled his arrogance.¡±

    Xiao Ming continued with a grave look on his face. ¡°This is the reason why I came all the way here. Ipletely trust your powers, Master. I really hope that you could pay a visit to my house and chase that imposter away for me... I believe you are the only one who can do this.¡±

    Zhao Yao was slightly taken aback by what he heard; he didn¡¯t expect to hear anything like this from Xiao Ming. From what he heard, it sounded like the religious imposter was an apostle as well which meant that he could use superpowers.

    Even a rich family like Xiao Ming¡¯s family was unable to control the spread of news regarding the supercats and apostles. It seemed like the government had been doing a pretty great job in censoring such information all along. Either that or Xiao Ming¡¯s family only focused onmercial gain and simply did not bother to cover up such news.

    Suddenly, Xiao Ming¡¯s phone rang and as Xiao Ming picked up the phone, Zhao Yao could hear an olddy yelling at the top of her lungs on the other end of the line.

    ¡°Xiao Ming!! What do you think you are doing? Are the previous few imposters not embarrassing enough? Master Luo was forgiving for not pursuing the matter and you still have the cheek to find other imposters?¡±

    ¡°Get back here right now! Or you can forget about your business in the mall.¡±

    Xiao Ming started to breathe irregrly and rebutted, ¡°Granny, I...I...¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m d you still recognize me as your granny! I¡¯m still alive you know! Who are you to make decisions on your own! If you don¡¯te back within an hour, don¡¯t ever call me granny anymore.¡±

    As Xiao Ming got off the phone, his face began to turn green as he feared the worst. He let out a long sigh and smiled bitterly as he spoke to Zhao Yao. ¡°You¡¯ve seen how it¡¯s like... I really hope that Master would be willing to help me out.¡±

    ¡°Was that your granny? She seems pretty hot-headed.¡±

    Xiao Ming exined as he smiled bitterly. ¡°Ever since Master Luo came along, Granny¡¯s temper had gone from bad to worse. She is grumpier than ever these few days and would find any chance to scold us for any small little thing. She wasn¡¯t like that before...¡±

    A new mission popped up in the mission panel and Zhao Yao opened it up to read it.

    Mission: How could you let the religious imposter get away with abusing supercats¡¯ powers?

    Mission Objective: Help Xiao Ming defeat the religious imposter.

    Mission Reward: Gain 200 experience points

    Mission Penalty: Deduct 200 experience points

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up as he received the new mission and told himself that he would definitely help Xiao Ming.

    But seeing how desperate Xiao Ming looked, Zhao Yao replied with a cold facial expression, ¡°I¡¯ve been very busy with the cafe stufftely you see... There are so many things to do. I even have to take care of my cats peeing and pooping everywhere.¡±

    Baiquan: ¡°????¡±

    Zhao Yao rubbed Mango¡¯s belly as he spoke. Suddenly, he frowned as he sniffed his palm and was greeted with the familiar urine stench from before.

    He threw Mango on the floor and scolded, ¡°Damn it! You even peed on yourself?¡±

    Xiao Ming replied, ¡°Master, I will repay your kindness for sure! If you help me defeat the religious imposter...¡±

    ¡°RMB 1,000,000!¡± Zhao Yao demanded arrogantly. ¡°That is the fee for hiring my services.¡±

    ¡°RMB 1,000,000?¡± Xiao Ming blinked a few times but remainedposed and offered, ¡°No problem, Master. I¡¯ll give you RMB 2,000,000 if you seed!¡±

    ¡°RMB 2,000,000?¡± Zhao Yao smiled uncontrobly and patted Xiao Ming on the shoulder as he replied, ¡°I knew you were a great man from the start. Look at you! I bet you would rise up the ranks and establish a sessful business for yourself in future.¡±

    ¡°Haha.¡± Xiao Ming shook his head in embarrassment, ttered by Zhao Yao¡¯spliment. ¡°I¡¯m not that capable.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not kidding! Trust me. I see great potential in you and with my help, I guarantee that you¡¯ll skyrocket your way up and make it to the top one day.¡±

    Xiao Ming was too embarrassed to reply and simply smiled. Zhao Yao stood up and gestured, ¡°Come on let¡¯s go! I¡¯ll take down the master or whoever he is.¡± Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t wait toplete the mission and receive the money from Xiao Ming.

    ¡°Erm, I¡¯m afraid we can¡¯t do it today.¡± Xiao Ming exined. ¡°That religious imposter has been out these days to host some dharma assembly but he¡¯ll be back in three days. How about this? I¡¯ll contact you within three days and we¡¯ll take him down together!¡±

    Xiao Ming continued to describe Master Luo and exin what kind of a person he was to Zhao Yao.

    Just as Xiao Ming was about to leave, he realized howfortable it was to stay in the cafe and sat down again. He asked Zhao Yao, ¡°Master, your cat cafe... Why is it sofortable to stay in here?¡±

    ¡°Ha! It¡¯s just a little trick.¡± Zhao Yao passed a menu to Xiao Ming and asked, ¡°Do you wish to buy some snacks to feed the cats?¡±

    Xiao Ming stayed for another thirty minutes or so and only left unwillingly when his granny kept on rushing him to return home.

    As Xiao Ming left the field of Celestial Beats, he felt that something was missing and had a strong urge to return back to the cafe. ¡°Ah, it really is sofortable to stay in his cafe. It feels like a full body massage; even my internal organs felt like they have been massaged!¡±

    Xiao Ming decided that he would visit Zhao Yao¡¯s cafe more often in future.

    As he walked out of the cafe, he saw a middle-aged woman standing right outside the door; she looked confused and hesitant.

    Xiao Ming smiled and suggested, ¡°It¡¯s pretty nice in there. You should give it a shot.¡±

    In fact, the woman was the boss of Cosy Coffee Cafe.

    All this while, she had beening over every day to spy on Cat Haven Coffee House but still couldn¡¯t understand the reason behind its exceptionally good business.

    The cat cafe¡¯s business had been growing at an exponential rate every day. The number of customers that visit his cafe daily was almost unbelievable.

    She came down during the peak period of the cafe to take a look at the number of customers in the cafe. There were almost 30 customers in the cafe; everyone looked like they were having the time of their lives as they chilled in the cafe. Some were even seen lying down and sleeping in the cafe. She was really confused by what she saw andpletely couldn¡¯t understand the reason behind it. Besides, one has to spend at least RMB100 in the cafe. That equates to over RMB3000 for 30 customers. What¡¯s shocking is that they had just recently opened business?

    ¡°Are cats really that fun to y with?...¡± Ms. Mayer thought to herself and decided that she would attempt to raise two cats back in her own cafe.

    Back in the cat cafe, Zhao Yao had just made an appointment with Starry Starry Pet Hospital to sterilize the cats. As he hanged up, a female undergraduate came to him and asked, ¡°Hello Boss, I¡¯m here to see Dust Ball.¡± Yan Xiao Qing hugged Dust Ball and seemed concerned about her. ¡°Dust Ball has been making weird noises recently. Her body is in a limp and it seems like she is unwell.¡±

    After visiting the cafe so frequently, Xiao Qing came to realize that the guy yingputer games at the corner of the cafe is the owner of the cafe.

    Upon hearing what Xiao Qing said, Zhao Yao gasped and turned to look at Dust Ball as he questioned Dust Ball in her mind, ¡°Is she speaking the truth? Are you feeling unwell?¡±

    Dust Ball made eye contact with Zhao Yao for a brief moment and looked away immediately as she whispered, ¡°It¡¯s nothing much... I just ate too much.¡±

    Zhao Yao didn¡¯t believe what Dust Ball said and examined her closely. Dust Ball squirmed in Xiao Qing¡¯s arm and yelled, ¡°Ahhhhh! I said I¡¯m fine! So annoying...¡±

    Suddenly, Dust Ball started to gag as she opened her mouth. Weird noises came out of her throat but nothing came out of her mouth.

    Yan Xiao Qing immediately shouted, ¡°Look! That¡¯s what she has been doing all this while! It just happened again, could Dust Ball be sick?¡±

    ¡°Hmm, she¡¯s fine actually.¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin and continued, ¡°Is it the shedding season? I guess she must have been licking herself too much recently and created a furball inside her stomach. That must be why she keeps on wanting to vomit; to get rid of the furball.¡±

    Zhao Yao already knew that cats tend to lick themselves a lot and could easily ingest fur into their stomach. This happens especially when they are shedding fur and all the ingested fur would form a furball in their stomach.

    In a situation like this, they would have the urge to throw up in order to remove the furball from their stomach. It was their body¡¯s natural reaction to remove any foreign objects that were found in their body. Something like this did ur when he was raising Matcha, hence Zhao Yao understood the reason behind Dust Ball¡¯s strange behavior.

    Zhao Yao reassured, ¡°I¡¯ll get some cat grass for Dust Ball to regurgitate and remove the furball from her stomach. Once that is done, she should be fine.¡±

    ¡°Oh, that¡¯s good to hear! Sorry for the trouble boss!¡± Xiao Qing nodded and left with a smile

    on her face.

    Zhao Yao curled his lips and spoke to himself. ¡°Let me see... Where can I buy some cat grass online...¡± For some reason, his cat instinct told him that Dust Ball was hiding something from him.

    The next day, the cat grass she ordered online had been delivered to his doorstep.

    Xiao Shi Yu nced at the name on the parcel and asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, is this yours?¡±

    ¡°Oh, yeah I did. I bought some cat grass.¡± Zhao Yao ran over to take a look at the parcel and continued, ¡°Dust Ball, time to eat your cat grass.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m a carnivore, who said I¡¯ll eat that!¡±

    Just as Dust Ball finished her sentence, her eyes lit up and she stared right at the parcel in Zhao Yao¡¯s hand.

    Zhao Yao opened up the parcel and saw a bag of what looked like dried grass. He frowned and questioned, ¡°Hmm? I don¡¯t recall cat grass looking like this.¡±

    As he opened the parcel, little did he know that all the cats in the cafe have turned their heads and were all staring at the bag of ¡®cat grass¡¯ in his hand.

    ¡°Hmm?¡± Zhao Yao looked around the cafe and was surprised to see so many pairs of eyes staring at him.

    Suddenly, Dust Ball dashed towards Zhao Yao and ced her front paws on Zhao Yao¡¯s leg as she stood on her hind legs; her eyes fixated on the bag of ¡®cat grass¡¯.

    ¡°Oh, you like cat grass?¡± Zhao Yao smiled and ced a handful of ¡®cat grass¡¯ into Dust Ball¡¯s bowl. He was relieved that Dust Ball actually loved to eat ¡®cat grass¡¯ as this would save him a lot of trouble.

    Dust Ball ran in circles around the bowl as she started to sniff the ¡®cat grass¡¯.

    After taking a few sniffs, Dust Ball looked as if she was drowning in immense pleasure as she gentlyid t on the floor with her eyes closed. Her paws were still wrapped around the bowl as she started to meow. It looked like she didn¡¯t want to let go of the bowl at all.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao and the other cats could already hear Dust Ballughing hysterically to herself in their minds.

    Dust Ball turned to her side and started to swing her legs frantically as if she was running, ¡°I caught you now Zhao Yao! Hahaha!¡± Dust Ballughed hysterically as she pped a toy rat back and forth.

    Zhao Yao frowned and curled his lips. ¡°What the heck?...¡±

    Dust Ball opened her mouth and continued running in the air as she imagined herself sprinting in a beautiful grasnd.

    Zhao Yao waspletely confused by Dust Ball¡¯s reaction to the ¡®cat grass¡¯. Curious, Matcha went forward and took a closer look. He frowned and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t it just some grass? Why is she so excited over grass?¡± Matcha turned around and stared at Dust Ball who was still running while lying down. He shook his head and sighed, ¡°Does she live in a vige? How does one even get high on grass?¡±

    Just as he finished his sentence, he took a whiff of the ¡®cat grass¡¯.

    Matcha¡¯s pupils began to dte as his senses started to tingle. Suddenly, he copsed onto the ground and start to roll about everywhere.

    ¡°Hahaha, this feels so good! I love it! I love it!¡± Matcha burst outughing and started to drool all over the ce. He looked like aplete lunatic. ¡°I¡¯m so high right now!¡± Matcha could feel himself floating in the air as he imagined himself jumping into a hot sauna tub.

    Every single cat in the room came running towards the bowl of ¡®cat grass¡¯ and all of them started to exhibit all sorts of strange behavior and actions. It seemed as if the ¡®cat grass¡¯ had some kind of magical power.

    Roly Poly started to giggle as he sat on the floor and moved his jaws in a chewing motion. It looked like something he would do normally except for the fact that there is absolutely nothing in his mouth.

    Meanwhile, the rest of the cats started to wobble about while someid motionless on the floor. Others sprinted around for no apparent reason. It looked like they all had a whiff of marijuana.

    Elizabeth appeared beside Zhao Yao out of nowhere and asked, ¡°It¡¯s catmint isn¡¯t it?¡± Besides Elizabeth, some of the cats were also unaffected by the catmint; they simply went to sniff the catmint out of curiosity but had no reactions whatsoever.

    Mango was also unaffected. She stared at Roly Poly with a curious look but was greeted with a nasty surprise. Roly Poly grabbed her and started to lick her everywhere. He tried to nibble on her ear but luckily Mango managed to escape in the nick of time. Poor Matcha became Roly Poly¡¯s next victim.

    Zhao Yao came to a sudden realization after hearing what Elizabeth said. ¡°She¡¯s right... It does seem like it¡¯s catmint.¡±

    Although Zhao Yao had never once bought catmint, he did read about the effects of catmint on cats online.

    He sighed as he took another look at the aftermath of the catmint incident. All the cats were lying on the floor and looked exactly like a bunch of drug addicts. He shook his head as he picked up the bowl of catmint but somehow the bowl felt heavier than it should be. He was surprised to see Dust Ball hanging from below the bowl. Dust Ball had been hugging the bowl all along and was left dangling midair as Zhao Yao picked the bowl up.

    In fact, catmint was equivalent to marijuana from a cat¡¯s perspective. More than half the cats would develop some sort of reaction to catmint. Exposure to catmint would stimte their emotions and as a result, some cats might even experience visual illusions.

    Though they might share simr symptoms with humans after taking marijuana, catmint was not addictive and had no harmful effects to their body.

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and thought to himself, ¡°I clearly ordered cat grass, why would they deliver catmint to me?¡±

    He quickly opened up Taobao¡¯s website and checked his order. He suddenly realized that catmint was included in the contents list. Zhao Yao searched cat grass on the search bar again and was shocked to see catmint products appearing in the search results.

    ¡°I typed cat grass but catmint products showed up in the search results?¡±

    ¡°Damn it! How could this be allowed!¡± Zhao Yao cursed. ¡°Selling catmint as cat grass??¡±

    He calmed down a little after looking at the cats who remained wasted on the floor and thought to himself: ¡°I guess it¡¯s alright... Since they are harmless to the cats, I could consider using it as a reward.¡±

    Though cats might have strong reactions to catmint, they usuallyst for a short duration.

    After several minutes, the cats started waking up one by one.

    Matcha woke up groggily and started to panic, ¡°Who am I?! Where am I? And where¡¯s my phone?¡±

    Roly Poly attempted to sit upright but couldn¡¯t do so. He gave up trying and continued lying down. Suddenly, he felt something in his mouth and spat continuously until an orange fur came out of his mouth. ¡°Whose fur is this? How did it end up in my mouth?¡±

    Roly Poly looked at Matcha and noticed a bald patch of skin on his back. Roly Poly quickly looked away and acted as if nothing had happened.

    Dust Ball¡¯s eyes were wide open when he realized that the cat bowl had already disappeared. She hopped excitedly as she eximed, ¡°One more time!!¡±

    ¡°Where¡¯s the catmint?¡±

    She ran towards Zhao Yao and chanted, ¡°Catmint catmint catmint catmint! Where is the catmint?¡±

    ¡°One more time! One more time! One more time!¡±

    Seeing how excited Dust Ball was, Zhao Yao smiled and thought to himself: ¡®It seems like Dust Ball loves catmint... I guess she must have experienced sniffing catmint during the days when she was still living in the streets.¡±

    Zhao Yao gestured to the bowl of catmint in his hand and asked, ¡°You want catmint?¡±

    ¡°Yes yes yes!¡± Dust Ball nodded her head repeatedly with her tail standing upright as she began to rub against Zhao Yao¡¯s legs with her body. ¡°I must have it every day or I¡¯ll feel miserable the entire day.¡±

    ¡®Loyalty +5¡¯

    A notification showed up in the mission panel. All this while, Zhao Yao had been making cat dishes for Dust Ball and feeding her delicious snacks. He even trained her powers and yed with her frequently and her loyalty level merely rose by 10 points to reach a total of 40 points. Surprisingly, after giving her catmint, her loyalty level actually rose to 45 points.

    ¡°This cat...¡± Zhao Yao shook his head and questioned Dust Ball, ¡°Catmint shouldn¡¯t be addictive but why are you acting this way? Are you addicted?¡±

    Speaking of which, Dust Ball sighed and a look of despair shed across her eyes. ¡°It¡¯s a long story...¡±

    Zhao Yao was curious to hear the story and asked, ¡°Cut it short then. I¡¯ll give you catmint if you tell me the story.¡±

    Dust Ball licked her lips andid down on the floor as she licked herself and recalled, ¡°When I was young, I was even smaller than I am now which makes me an easy target for bullying. It¡¯s not easy for me to enter a pack and so I lived alone. I felt more and more lonely with each passing day.¡±

    She sighed and continued, ¡°One day, I was attacked by another cat yet again. I was very upset and hurt. But just then, a white cat approached me and offered to bring me to a lovely ce. We cats can¡¯t really express ourselves very well due to the limitations of ournguage; you know that as a fact too. I didn¡¯t know what he meant by a lovely ce but I didn¡¯t think much about it and followed the white cat.¡±

    ¡°There was a room in the basement where he brought me. Once we reached the ce, I saw many cats lyingzily on the floor. Some others were busy licking themselves happily.¡±

    ¡°It was my first time going to a ce like that with so many cats. I was very anxious and afraid. The white cat brought me to one side and showed me the catmint. He began sniffing the catmint and offered me to join him. And so I did.¡±

    Dust Ball felt a lump in her throat as memories shed across her head, ¡°The first breath felt a little choking, yet it was ratherfortable. And then I took my second breath, many cats around me had already fallen to the floor, but I continued taking in a few more sniffs.

    I just felt that all my unhappiness and sorrow had evaporated and I felt so happy. I didn¡¯t want to think about anything, and I didn¡¯t want to do anything.¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed as he heard Dust Ball¡¯s voice in his head, ¡°What happened after that? How long did you use the catmint for?¡±

    Dust Ball lowered her little head and replied, ¡°I began using it on a daily basis after my first encounter with catmint. My entire body felt uneasy when I go one day without it.¡±

    Zhao Yao continued asking, ¡°So you became friends with the big cats?¡±

    ¡°No,¡± Dust Ball replied with tears in her eyes, ¡°After a few months, I wasn¡¯t contented with simply sniffing it. I took a bite every time I saw it. One day, the cats in basement realized that I had been secretly eating the catmint and chased me away.

    I had no other options but to find catmint in other neighborhoods. Over that period, I relocated 20 times. Whenever the big cats realized that I had been secretly eating the catmint, they would chase me away. The cycle repeated itself for every district. I had to relocate myself every two weeks.¡±

    Zhao Yao asked out of curiosity, ¡°Didn¡¯t you try to kick your addiction?¡±

    Dust Ball only shook her head and replied, ¡°I did try to kick it. It was difficult enough for a tiny cat like me to survive in the wilderness. Coupled with my addiction, I did not even have time to hunt for food, and I grew thinner by the day.

    However, I just couldn¡¯t ovee my addiction. Every day I was in pain. However, one sniff of the catmint would elevate me from hell to heaven, albeit ephemeral. At that moment, I was infinite.

    One day without sniffing the catmint and my entire body would be in agony. I did not want to groom myself or wash my face. I didn¡¯t even want to eat or drink until I found my catmint.¡±

    Dust Ball sank into despair as she covered her tiny face with her little paws, ¡°After getting exposed to Celestial Beats, all my bodily aches and pains have slowly disappeared. I thought I had kicked my addiction to catmint; I really didn¡¯t know ...¡±

    Zhao Yao began scratching the bottom his chin as the crisp and clear female voice rang in his head, he reflected, ¡°Because of dwarfism, her bones, muscles, and nerves have been suffering every day. The catmint was able to alleviate somewhat her pain which ended up as a dependence on it.

    When she met me, she was surrounded by the inaudible frequency from Celestial Beats and temporarily stayed clear from catmint, until today.¡±

    Zhao Yao brought the food bowl to Dust Ball and said, ¡°Do you want to take a sniff of it?¡±

    Dust Ball nodded her head vigorously. She craved for the catmint in Zhao Yao¡¯s hand, ¡°Just let me take one sniff; one sniff would do. I can let the customers touch, caress and even hug me. They don¡¯t even have to put on any gloves.¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed as he carefullyy the catmint on the floor. In her eyes, the catmint was equivalent to the most delicious food in the universe as she sprinted towards it. She stuck out her tongue and began to lick the catmint frantically.

    Dust Ball¡¯s loyalty had also increased by one point because of Zhao Yao¡¯s action.

    ¡°This cat ...¡± Zhao Yao stared at the catmint in his hand and mumbled, ¡°Such a pity that it can only be used against Dust Ball temporarily. It seems like other cats are not attracted to it.¡±

    Zhao Yao raised his head to see Matcha busy chasing after Roly Poly. Matcha yelled, ¡°How dare you pluck away my fur!¡±

    Apparently, Matcha, Mango, Roly Poly, and the other cats were not addicted to catmint. They had even forgotten thefort which they had enjoyed a while ago.

    Zhao Yao began to aimlessly browse through different websites as he waited for the caf¨¦¡¯s opening time.

    Currently, the caf¨¦ opened for business at ten thirty am. Shi Yu and Baiquan would take this time to clean the cat litter box and counter top to ensure that it was ready for the day¡¯s business.

    It was a lot more rxing for Zhao Yao and the cats. They just had to wait for the clock to strike ten thirty.

    Elizabeth was licking the fur on her belly, just like how a model would put on makeup before a fashion show. She had to ensure that she was in her best form before the customers came. Afterpleting her ¡®makeup¡¯, she took her phone out and went on the inte.

    Roly Poly was sitting against the wall, with both eyes in a daze. A fine trickle of drool leaked from the side of his mouth as he imagined himself eating KFC¡¯s finger licking good chicken.

    Dust Ball was sitting at a corner, immersed in her thoughts of catmint.

    Obviously, Matcha was resting in the toilet on the highest shelf, secretly ying Mobile Legends. Because of his workmitment, he had significantly less time to spend on it.

    ¡°Hmm, this is the price to pay for stepping into society, where you can only depend on yourself. I¡¯ll be happy just to be able toplete the daily missions.¡±

    Matcha sighed as he took a look at the updates on WeChat.

    The first contact he saw was a picture of Elizabeth¡¯s selfie. On top of it was a profile shot of Elizabeth. In these photographs, Elizabeth was staring out the window, with a look of sadness visibly reflected on her face. Herrge blue eyes were shining like sapphire stones.

    Even though Matcha often got into fights with Elizabeth, he could not help but admit ...

    ¡°Elizabeth is so beautiful,¡± Matcha licked the side of his lips before leaving ament, ¡°You seemed to have gained some weight, please watch what your diet.¡±

    Next, he saw Roly Poly¡¯s post which was a poster of KFC¡¯s newest hot and spicy hamburger.

    ¡°Boring,¡± Matchamented with a bored Spongebob GIF.

    Matcha continued scrolling through his newsfeed when he chanced upon Zhao Yao¡¯s post. He had uploaded a photo of his Panamera.

    ¡°Damn, this guy is just trying to show off,¡± Matcha uttered before leaving a like andmented, ¡°So stylish!¡±

    Beneath it was a photo shared by Chubby Luban Assassin, it was a screenshot which showed that it had been promoted to the rank of Grand Master on Mobile Legends.

    ¡°How is this possible? A rookie like him is a Grand Master?¡±

    Matcha scanned thements and saw lots of ids.

    Omnipresentmented, ¡°Congrattions for reaching the rank of Grand Master, may your legacy continue to live on!¡±

    No. 1 Dried Fish Fanmented, ¡°Please carry me!¡±

    Meow Gibsonmented, ¡°Please carry me!¡±

    Matcha felt a tinge of jealousy as he pondered, ¡°Even that fatso can reach Grand Master? Hmm, it is just a sore loser in my eyes,¡± He immediately switched over to the group chat and noticed Elizabeth chatting with Sweetie Pie.

    Sweetie Pie typed, ¡°Elizabeth, have you watched Autumn in My Heart?¡±

    Elizabeth replied, ¡°No, I¡¯m still catching up on Game of Thrones. It¡¯s so good!¡±

    Sweetie Pie said, ¡°I¡¯m telling you Autumn in My Heart is so much better. Gyun He is extremely handsome; I just want to bury my head in his chest. Game of Thrones is so gory, just join me and watch Autumn in My Heart.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Elizabeth replied with a disbelief emoji, ¡°Can there actually be a better TV series than Game of Thrones?¡±

    Matcha rolled his eyes as he read the conversation between the two cats, ¡°So boring!¡± Matchamented as he dered, ¡°@Chubby Luban Assassin, I heard you had gotten better at Mobile Legends.¡±

    Matcha was screaming as he dashed towards Zhao Yao and passed his phone to him, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! Please help me with Mobile Legends!¡±

    Zhao Yao saw that Match was on the verge of tears and immediately tapped him on his head andforted Matcha, ¡°What happened? Who bullied you?¡±

    ¡°That fatso! I decided to go against him 1 on 1 in Mobile Legends, and he destroyed me with a score of 8 to 1. To make things worse, he even announced it on the WeChat group,¡± Matcha reported to Zhao Yao, ¡°That fatso have hired someone to y in its ce, please teach him a lesson!¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head when he saw that Matcha¡¯s eyes were red and his face wet with tears. He tried to pacify him by giving Matcha a gentle rub and said, ¡°Alright, stop crying. Sit tight and watch me destroy it.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll show you how a Legend ys.¡±

    Matcha nodded his head in agreement as he stared at Zhao Yao.

    Seeing that there was still quite some time before the shop opened for the day, Zhao Yao picked up Matcha¡¯s phone and sent a game invite via WeChat.

    Five minutester ...

    The score was 8 to 0 in favor of Chubby Luban Assassin.

    The Luban which Zhao Yao controlled had died eight times. It chose not to destroy Zhao Yao¡¯s tower to continue torturing him.

    ¡°Meowhahaha,¡± Chubby Luban Assassin smirked and replied, ¡°Did you hire someone to fight on your behalf. It seems like you¡¯ve got cheated. He is worse than you.¡±

    Matcha could not believe his eyes. Even Zhao Yao could not match up against Chubby Luban Assassin. In an instant, Matcha¡¯s entire world was enveloped in darkness.

    Zhao Yao could not believe it, ¡°How is this possible? I can¡¯t even defeat a cat?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s impossible. This cat must have hired someone to y on its behalf. It might even be a professional gamer.¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately left the game and switched off the wifi before he stared at Matcha with a solemn expression, ¡°The wifi suddenly disconnected on the phone, I will let it go this time.

    However, I¡¯m telling you to never y against this fatso. It must have used some hacking application. If you continue ying with it, you might even get banned.¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, in a bedroom within a giant building on the other side of Jiangmen city, there was a ten years old girl looking at the drawing on her phone. She was gorgeous, and her hair was tied into a tiny ponytail. She switched her gaze from her phone to her legs.

    A cat was rolling around beside her feet. It was an American shorthair with grey fur and ck stripes all over its body.

    ¡°Hahaha, I¡¯ve won, I¡¯ve won, this stupid Luban, I¡¯ll make you lose for the rest of your life!¡± The American shorthair dered gleefully.

    The young girl stared at the cat which was rolling around happily and nced at the Mobile Legends interface on its screen. She was a little confused and asked, ¡°Fish Ball, just like this?¡±

    Until now, she still could not believe everything she had seen.

    The American Shorthair, which was named Fish Ball, had jumped onto herp and typed out a string of words on the phone.

    Soon, the words had transformed into a voice message. It said, ¡°You did well. As long as you follow Master Fish Ball¡¯s orders and sign a contract with me, I¡¯ll soon turn you into a magician.¡±

    Fish Ball nodded along to the voice message with a smirk on its face.

    However, the young girl replied, ¡°But Fish Ball ...¡±

    The voice message interrupted, ¡°Address me as Master Fish Ball.¡±

    ¡°Master Fish Ball, I do not want to be a magician. I do not want to sign any contracts or fight against anyone. It sounds too dangerous,¡± the little girl exined.

    ¡°Hmm, then what do you want to do?¡±

    I want to travel to the realm of the fairies,¡± The young girl announced excitedly.

    ¡°Hmm, that would be quite difficult,¡± Fish Ball replied, and it was deep in thought.

    The young girl dered excitedly, ¡°How about time travel? I would like to go back to 3 days ago so that I can pass my exam.¡±

    Fish Ball frowned and replied via the voice message, ¡°It¡¯s too difficult to travel back in time.¡±

    The young girl pouted a little and stared at Fish Ball disappointedly, ¡°How about you give me some money? Give me ten or twenty million RMB.¡±

    Fish Ball scratched the back of its head and replied, ¡°I cannot make money magically appear.¡±

    ¡°You can¡¯t even give me money?¡± The young girl asked with a face of disappointment. She looked at Fish Ball with a condescending expression and asked again, ¡°Can you make me even prettier? I¡¯m sure you can do that, and I can be a celebrity in the future.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t think I can do that,¡± Fish Ball typed with an awkward smile.

    ¡°You can¡¯t do this, and you can¡¯t do that, so what exactly can you do?¡± The young girl questioned Fish Ball as her upper lips curled in disdain, ¡°I thought you introduced yourself as a supercat? In the end, you cannot even do anything special, and you dare call yourself a supercat.¡±

    Fish Ball replied with an awkwardughter before it stretched its hands out. Suddenly, two beams of light were projected from its palms.

    ¡°Look, if you sign a contract with me, you will be a magician and be able to illuminate the world with your hands.¡±

    Fish Ball announced smugly. The girl just stared at Fish Ball with a pair of dead fish eyes. The gaze was filled with contempt, disdain, and pity.

    ¡°The power of a torchlight,¡± The girl mumbled as she looked down at Fish Ball with contempt, ¡°The light you create is so weak, it¡¯s as good as a torchlight. Can you make it brighter?¡±

    ¡°You want it brighter?¡± Fish Ball rified, ¡°Wait a moment.¡±

    Fish Ball held its breath and exerted every ounce of strength from within its body. After a while, it finally let out a sigh andy on the floor, exhausted from it.

    ¡°Hmm, is it brighter than before?¡± Fish Ball said confidently, ¡°I didn¡¯t have a good restst night. If I had 7 hours of undisturbed rest, the light I project would be as bright as a light bulb in the living room. Even if there were a power shortage, you would still have light.¡±

    ¡°Oh,¡± The girl remarked as she carried Fish Ball and walked towards her door, ¡°I think I should just sell you instead. A cat which is capable of speech should be able to fetch at least one million RMB.¡±

    ¡°Huh?!¡± Fish Ball panicked and pleaded, ¡°Please, please don¡¯t sell me. You have taken care of me for the past one year, how can you bear to sell me away?¡±

    The young girl nced at Fish Ball and said, ¡°That¡¯s true. It has been one year, and I¡¯ve developed some feelings for you.¡±

    Fish Ball heaved a sigh of relief. Before he could finally rx, he heard Xiao Yu, the young girl, remarked, ¡°Let¡¯s take a photo before I sell you.¡±

    ¡°No! Don¡¯t!¡± Fish Ball was howling with fear, ¡°Please do not sell me, you do not have to sign any contracts. I¡¯ll just lend you my power of illumination. Please, I just want to live here. I do not want to leave this ce even when I die.¡±

    At this moment, Fish Bal¡¯s behavior was simr to Matcha when Zhao Yao informed him of his decision to relocate.

    Xiao Yu thought about it and replied, ¡°I¡¯ll borrow your power first, and we¡¯ll see how it goes. Don¡¯t tell me your power has some side effects such as radiation.¡±

    After half an hour, Xiao Yu got bored of the power andmented, ¡°What a trashy power to have.¡±

    Fish Ball tried to appease Xiao Yu by saying, ¡°Xiao Yu, do you feel that your skin has started to glow and radiate after using my power? You look like a goddess.¡±

    Xiao Yu ignored hisments and essed reddit on her phone and started a thread: Anyone knows a good way to earn money with the power of projecting light from your palms?

    ...

    Meanwhile, the cat caf¨¦ opened for business as usual.

    Matcha had soon recovered from the devastation of losing in Mobile Legends and had focused all his attention on the customers.

    After this period of hard work and the soothing power of Celestial Beat, the business in the cat caf¨¦ had picked up steadily. Zhao Yao earned thousands of RMB a day which brightened his mood considerably.

    This was not only a healthy source of ie, but it also allowed him toplete his monthly mission and gain experience points.

    Furthermore, Zhao Yao believed that this was not the cat caf¨¦¡¯s ceiling. The profit could easily increase by a few times over the next few weeks.

    Soon enough, three days had passed, and it was time to meet Xiao Ming again. The three days had passed by in a sh because Zhao Yao was busy with the caf¨¦ andpleting his daily missions. Zhao Yao even began experimenting on how to prepare a more nutritious and delicious cat rice.

    With his extensive research online, it was impossible to create better cat rice by doing things conventionally. However, he did not have any innovative ways to improve it.

    However, after devoting much time training alongside Dust Ball, he came to understand the extra-dimensional belly¡¯s traits.

    For example, if Dust Ball wanted to expel the items out from her extra-dimensional belly. The order in which the objects were expelled was ording to the order they were absorbed in. Even though there might be a few discrepancies in the order, they generally followed this rule.

    Furthermore, if you made a conscious effort to control the order in which the items were expelled, the chances of discrepancies were even higher.

    However, both Dust Ball and Zhao Yao were somewhat ineffective in controlling this power. They still required far more practice.

    ...

    Three dayster, Zhao Yao was standing at the front of his caf¨¦. In front of him stood a teenaged boy and an eight years old girl.

    He stared at the boy and girl standing in front of him and noticed that the clothes they wore were too big for them. Even though the clothes seemed extremely clean, there were signs of discoloration and broken threads. It was evident that the clothes had been used for a very long time.

    Apart from the clean clothes they wore the smell of shampoo and body soap even emanated from their bodies. However, they were looking at Zhao Yao with a sense of fear and inferiority to him.

    The two of them had stood outside the cat caf¨¦ for the past two days. Their longing eyes were glued to the cats in the caf¨¦, but they never took a step inside it.

    Zhao Yao could recognize the boy as his father worked at a store inside the shopping mall. The boy was probably here because of his summer break.

    Zhao Yao looked at the pair of eyes which longed to enter the caf¨¦ and sighed. He asked them, ¡°Do you want toe in?¡±

    The boy nodded his head violently and responded with a simple yes.

    Zhao Yao turned around to his caf¨¦ and swung open the front door and announced, ¡°Come in then but don¡¯t expect this to be free. You can stay here for 2 hours, but you will have to help me distribute flyers. If you manage to give out 50 in a day, you can stay in the caf¨¦ and y with the cats.¡±

    Both children nodded their heads as their lips curled into a smile.

    Zhao Yao looked at them and said sternly, ¡°Remember to use the hand sanitizer and shoe covers. Do not run around or injure the cats when ying with them.¡±

    The children were frightened by Zhao Yao¡¯s tone. However, their mood changed the moment they stepped into the caf¨¦ and felt the soothing effects of Celestial Beats. They shut their eyes to immerse in it fully; they felt so rxed that they just stood there for a minute doing nothing.

    The effects of Celestial Beats were especially pronounced in adolescents going through puberty. By exposing their bodies to it once per day, it would bring about enormous benefits for the rest of their lives.

    15 minutester, Zhao Yao was still sitting at the corner of the caf¨¦, browsing the inte. Mangoyfortable on his legs as it was having its afternoon nap.

    Recently, Zhao Yao had sent all the stray cats in the caf¨¦ for sterilization. Mango did not go for sterilization because it was on estrus. Hence, Zhao Yao had to monitor it to ensure it did not go around the caf¨¦ pooping and peeing.

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao received a notification on his phone.

    Zhao Yao took a nce and realized it was a message from Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming was waiting at the junction ahead. Zhao Yao immediately proceeded to the bar counter.

    ¡°Xiao Shi Yu, remember to get the children to help us distribute the flyers after they have yed for 2 hours. I¡¯m going out for a while.¡±

    Xiao Shi Yu chuckled as she recalled, ¡°No wonder he asked me for help to print flyers for the caf¨¦. This guy is really quite weird, why can¡¯t he just allow the kids to y for free?¡±

    ¡°Oh yes,¡± Shi Yu asked, ¡°Is this considered as childbor?¡±

    Zhao Yao broke intoughter and replied confidently, ¡°Childbor? We did not even pay them, how can that be consideredbor?¡±

    ¡°Even if you don¡¯t pay them, it is still illegal ...¡±Shi Yu said under her breath. She continued, ¡°Alright ... Anyway, are you stilling back to the caf¨¦ today? Usually, you are the one who will bring Matcha back to your apartment.¡±

    ¡°Hmm, it¡¯s just a small errand, I won¡¯t take too much time,¡± Zhao Yao continued, ¡°I¡¯ll be back before we close for the day.¡±

    He turned around and waved goodbye before bringing Dust Ball along.

    The palm-sized Dust Ball was firmly sped in Zhao Yao¡¯s hand. She seemed so obedient aspared to how she behaved when she first met Zhao Yao.

    The catmint had significantly improved Zhao Yao¡¯s control over Dust Ball. Her current loyalty had increased to 60 points.

    Zhao Yao decided to bring Dust Ball along instead of Matcha and Elizabeth because he did not want to affect the business in the caf¨¦. After disguising himself as a Scottish Fold, Matcha¡¯s poprity rapidly grew among the customers.

    In Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes, he would be able to take care of the apostles with Dust Ball and his BOOK.

    Zhao Yao slowly caressed the fur on Dust Ball¡¯s back as she rubbed her body against his palm. Dust Ball asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, are we going out?¡±

    ¡°Hmm, but I won¡¯t be able to use Celestial Beats all the time, so you have to bear with it.¡±

    Dust Ball nodded her head obediently, and Zhao Yao left the caf¨¦. Xiao Ming was already standing outside, waiting for him.

    Zhao Yao had mastered the use of Matcha and Elizabeth¡¯s abilities. Furthermore, their loyalty ensured that there would not be any chance of failure when using it. Hence, bringing Dust Ball along would be the best decision.

    Zhao Yao sat in Xiao Ming¡¯s car as they headed towards their destination. Xiao Ming suddenly noticed the bump in Zhao Yao¡¯s pocket and was taken aback.

    Dust Ball was stuffed in his pocket as if she were a wallet. Out of curiosity, Xiao Ming asked, ¡°Is the cat going to be okay?¡±

    ¡°Oh, are you referring to Dust Ball?¡± Zhao Yao gave a gentle rub on Dust Ball¡¯s head and continued, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s an obedient little cat.¡±

    Xiao Ming nodded his head as he diverted the topic to Zhao Yao¡¯s task, ¡°Other than hiring you, my uncle had also hired a few other people.¡±

    ¡°Oh,¡± Zhao Yao scratched his chin and grinned, ¡°Other than your grandmother, I guess the entire family doesn¡¯t really like Master Luo.¡±

    ¡°Of course,¡± Xiao Ming reasoned, ¡°If someone tried to steal your cat caf¨¦, would you just sit there and watch the person steal it right before your eyes?¡± Xiao Ming then passed a giant stack of paper to Zhao Yao.

    ¡°I know you are powerful, but Master Luo also has some tricks up his sleeve. I¡¯ve collected some information regarding him; you can take a look. I guess it¡¯s better to be safe than sorry.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyebrows tightened as he began reading through the information on Master Luo.

    Master Luo¡¯s actual name was Luo Hao. He used to be a priest who resided in the Tianmu Mountain. He was over forty years old but did not have much achievement under his name.

    A few months ago, he came to Jiangmen city to try his luck. He had the power to make objects appear out of thin air. Because of this ability, his name started spreading like wildfire in Jiangmen city. The matriarch of the house of Xiao, Granny Xiao, valued his power and orded him with much authority in her home.

    Zhao Yao read through the description of his power and concluded, ¡°This ability to make things appear out of nothing is probably the power of psychokinesis.

    If he was so famous, I¡¯m sure Inspector Ho had already spoken to him. However, if I approach Inspector Ho regarding Luo Hao, I¡¯m sure that horny old man will keep his lips sealed.¡±

    Zhao Yao contemted before he asked, ¡°Does Luo Hao have a cat with him?¡±

    ¡°A cat?¡± Xiao Ming was surprised by this seemingly weird question. He continued, ¡°I don¡¯t think he has a cat.¡±

    ¡°No cats?¡± Zhao Yao was rather shocked by the reply and continued asking, ¡°How about stray cats? Does he go to the parks and feed them or visit cat caf¨¦s?¡±

    Xiao Ming was bbergasted by Zhao Yao¡¯s interest in cats but continued to answer, ¡°I don¡¯t think so. Luo Hao never had any special interest in cats. Furthermore, my granny was bitten by a cat when she was young and developed an intense dislike for it ever since, so there are not cats at home.¡±

    ¡°Oh,¡± Zhao Yao raised his eyebrows as he replied, ¡°That¡¯s interesting.¡±

    Zhao Yao spent the rest of the car ride digesting the information given to him. Meanwhile, Dust Ball got bored and fell asleepfortably in Zhao Yao¡¯s pocket.

    Xiao Ming was driving towards the outer rings of the city. The surroundings turned from beautiful high-rise buildings torge plots of barrennd. Zhao Yaomented, ¡°Your house is quite far away.¡±

    ¡°Hmm, my grandmother is quite a nostalgic person. As she grew older, she preferred the peace and serenity in the rural areas. Hence, she bought a plot ofnd here and turned it into our home.

    As the manor slowly appeared in front of Zhao Yao¡¯s vision, he finally realized the massiveness of the entire ce.

    Xiao Ming drove his car into the driveways as the gates opened automatically. Zhao Yao could not help butmented, ¡°This garden is big enough to be a racecourse for horses.¡±

    Xiao Ming humbly replied, ¡°Land here is rather cheappared to the city.¡±

    Both of them left the car, and Zhao Yao quickly followed behind Xiao Ming. They walked past the majestic garden towards the main building of the manor. They could already hear the racketing from within when they were still quite far away. It seemed like there was some argument going on.

    ...

    Inside the grand hall, a silver-haired olddy was sitting on the most intricately crafted chair Zhao Yao had ever seen in his life. However, the atmosphere was extremely tense as the olddy stared sternly at the people around her.

    Approximately ten other people were sitting around the olddy. From the way she carried herself and how the others looked at her, it could be easily deduced that she had absolute authority over everyone in the house.

    Beside her was a middle-aged man, who looked so elegant in his posture and appearance.

    That man should be Master Luo Hao who Xiao Ming had mentioned. He seemed so calm andposed as if he had seen everything in life that nothing was capable of bothering him now.

    Zhao Yao saw a monk standing in the middle of the hall, with his palms firmly sped together. Both his eyes were half-shut, and it felt like there was something magical going on.

    ¡°My name is Yuan Tong, and I¡¯m from Wu Tai Shan. I have spent the past thirty years training in the mountains, and I¡¯vee down today to find you, Master Luo.¡±

    ¡°Yuan Tong,¡± Master Luo said as he continued to sit on his chair andmented, ¡°I think you should be a deliveryman instead. You can forget about fighting against me. It doesn¡¯t suit your style at all.¡±

    Yuan Tong face turned red upon hearing those rude words. He took a step forward and ripped off the clothes he was wearing. Beneath those clothes was a ripped and muscr body. His body was bronze in color, and it seemed like he had been smothered with bodybuilding posing oil.

    ¡°Ha!¡±

    Following his loud road, a group of monks came forward to attack him, one of them was even holding on to a mannequin. They used the swords and spears in their hands andnded a barrage of attacks on the mannequin, destroying it instantly. These weapons were real, and they could inflict a lot of damage.

    The monks then turned their attention towards Yuan Tong and started their assault. Some women could not bear with the potential blood and gore that they immediately shut their eyes.

    However, the attacks seemed futile as they were not able to hurt Yuan Tong at all. He was as tough as rocks.

    These were not the performances where they had rehearsed beforehand to ensure Yuan Tong¡¯s safety. Instead, the monks went in with the thought of killing Yuan Tong, Zhao Yao even saw one of them stabbed Yuan Tong¡¯s stomach with a sharp dagger while another monk frantically stabbed him in his back.

    However, regardless of the weapons used, the resulted remained the same. Yuan Tong remained unfazed, and all they could hear were nking as if they were striking against metal.

    ¡°What an amazing iron skin,¡± One priest among the audience, dered, ¡°Master Yuan Tong¡¯s abilities are the best in the world.¡±

    Xiao Ming¡¯s uncle, Xiao Ai Guo, nodded his head in agreement. He had spent so much time and effort to find the best and strongest priest in the country. All he hoped for was to find someone who could restrain Luo Hao.

    Zhao Yao was amazed to see a human who was immune to knife attacks, he thought, ¡°Hmm, is this monk an apostle too? However, there is no cat scenting from him.¡± He squinted his eyes as his pupil turned into vertical slits, ¡°Interesting.¡±

    However, Luo Hao began to snore after watching Master Yuan Tong¡¯s performance. He merely mocked Master Yuan Tong by saying, ¡°Yuan Tong, I don¡¯t even think you can get past the audition of China¡¯s Got Talent with your performance.¡±

    He mimicked the judges¡¯ reactions when they rejected the contestant in the show and said, ¡°Please get him out, next please.¡±

    Yuan Tong was furious to see someone mocked his abilities so tantly. However, Yuan Tong was suddenly hit by an invisible force and was sent flying into the air. In mid-air, his toned bronze body started to mutate and tore apart before he fell to the ground. It seemed like he had died.

    Apparently, Yuan Tong wore titanium armor which looked like ordinary muscles. He even pasted iron sheets which were painted bronze on his body. These prevented the spears and knives from impaling his body. As the armor tore apart, his actual body was revealed to everyone.

    Beneath the armor was a fat and white beer belly. His body was like any other ordinary middle-aged man you would see on the streets. It was a far cry from the mighty and strong impression that he gave previously.

    The audience broke into chatter as they saw the scene unfolded before their eyes. The disappointment was evident in some members of the Xiao family.

    Priest Yang, who praised Yuan Tong for his abilities, shook his head in disgust and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect him to be a big, fat liar.¡±

    Beside Priest Yang stood Feng Shui expert, Master Mao, whomented, ¡°I¡¯ve already said it was impossible for nking to be heard when spears sh against human flesh. This does not conform to nature.¡± However, he was actually thinking, ¡°That muscle armor is quite good, maybe I can get it from TaoBao.¡±

    However, the masses in the hall were impressed by Luo Hao¡¯s invisible punch which exposed Yuan Tong¡¯s ploy.

    A muscr bloke asked, ¡°Master Luo, was that a vacuum palm attack?¡±

    A female standing beside him frowned and said, ¡°Even the armor was destroyed, if the attacknded on human flesh, it would have instantly turned it into minced meat.¡±

    Another personmented, ¡± I¡¯m sure there¡¯s more than meets the eyes. Perhaps Yuan Tong was bribed, and this is simply a performance.¡±

    Xiao Ai Guo cringed as he was the one who brought this group of odd people into their house. Now, there was a cheater among them. He obviously felt embarrassed for it.

    A look of disdain shed across Granny Xiao¡¯s face as she said coolly, ¡°Ai Guo, aren¡¯t you embarrassed for bringing a cheater back home? Can the remaining cheaters please leave my house before I chase you?¡±

    Xiao Ai Guo turned to the psychic beside him and said, ¡°Master Lim, I¡¯m counting on you.¡±

    The middle-ageddy immediately shook her head and responded, ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, but I had too many cold drinksst month. Now, my menstrual pains hurt so much that I can¡¯t even walk properly. I¡¯m afraid I¡¯m not ready to use my power today.¡±

    She knew that what she said was gibberish and she was embarrassed by it. However, she witnessed how Master Luo destroyed the armor without even moving a finger. She was not ready to die yet.

    ¡°Do you think I¡¯m an idiot,¡± Xiao Ai Guo thought as he suppressed the anger within him and looked at the priest beside the psychic. ¡°Priest Yang!¡±

    Priest Yang replied helplessly, ¡°I¡¯m so sorry Mr. Xiao, but I do not specialize in that kind of power. Even if I go up, I¡¯m not confident of bringing him down.¡±

    Xiao Ai Guo knew that what he said was true and did not press on with it. Furthermore, they were people hired under his name. If they went up and got destroyed by Luo Hao, it would not look good on Xiao Ai Guo.

    It was not just Priest Yang and the psychic who had surrendered, everyone else hired by Xiao Ai Guo had secretly conceded defeat as well.

    After rejecting Xiao Ai Guo, Priest Yang immediately nominated Master Mao to fight against Luo Hao. Priest Yang dered, ¡°Master Mao is the president of Nanyang Feng Shui Association and his reputation is far-reaching. How about you go up against Luo Hao?¡±

    Priest Yang red at Master Mao and he started chuckling. They had known each other for a long time. Back in the days, Master Mao stole lots of business from Priest Yang in Xiang Jiang. Now was the best time for him to exact his revenge.

    The man who was referred to as Master Mao was wearing a tuxedo. He shook his head as he mumbled, ¡°Is this rascal trying to send me to hell?¡±

    However, there was no fear in his expression. Instead, he was beaming with confidence.

    ¡°That will be inappropriate. Can¡¯t you guys see through his ploy? The location of this house is on the southern edges of the province which is extremely advantageous for this devil to use his magic. I¡¯m currently using my power to suppress it. Hence, I need the rest of you to attack him now.¡±

    However, the majority of the group of people in the hall did not believe a word he uttered. They were just wondering where his confidence stemmed from.

    There were some who were convinced based on Master Mao¡¯s reputation.

    Priest Yang raised his eyebrow as he was surprised by how shameless his longtime rival had be.

    Xiao Ai Guo¡¯s eyebrows tightened as he was furious to see this scene where the priest and psychics were just pushing the responsibility to one another.

    Honestly, Xiao Ai Guo did not believe in anything supernatural before meeting Luo Hao.

    Even though he started believing in it a little after seeing Luo Hao, he did not have any methods to verify these powers. Hence, the experts which he had hired were based on word of mouth and their reputation outside. It seemed like all of them were bogus.

    Zhao Yao startedughing as he witnessed this embarrassing scene. He gazed towards Master Luo who was sitting on his chair and asked, ¡°Is that Master Luo?¡±

    Xiao Ming nodded his head and replied, ¡°Yes.¡±

    Zhao Yao started to sniff for cat scent with the power of ¡°Two is better than one¡±. Currently, his sense of smell was far stronger than ordinary cats. He was able to distinguish between the scents in the hall. However, he felt something strange in the room.

    ¡°Who farted?¡±

    ¡°Why is there such an intense body odor?¡±

    ¡°F*ck, somebody hasn¡¯t brushed his teeth for days.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyebrows knitted together as he breathed in the intense and weird scents in the air. He would not usually use his power in this manner, but he had decided to give his all for the mission. After rounds of intense sniffing, he detected one cat other than Dust Ball.

    At this moment, a slightly bald man who was wearing a jacket and a pair of sunsses emerged from the crowd confidently.

    ¡°Let me settle this.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s lips curled into a smile when he saw this man. This was because the cat scent which he had detected previously came from him. With his superior eyesight, he noticed the strands of cat fur on his trousers.

    ¡°This guy has a cat,¡± Zhao Yao concluded in his head.

    Based on his observation, even though most of the people here were quite reputable in their fields, only Zhao Yao and that man had a cat with them.

    The crowd broke into whispers as the man emerged from amongst them.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t that Priest Hwang from Mao Shan?¡±

    ¡°Is Priest Hwang going to fight against Luo Hao? I heard that he had spent the past 60 years specializing in his martial arts, he is the only one who has a shot against Luo Hao.¡±

    ¡°I heard that the mayor of Jiangmen City invited him to the opening ceremony for the newly renovated town center.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯sme. I heard that he was the one who rmended Jiangmen city to the leaders of the nation when deciding which part of the country to focus their development in.¡±

    ¡°I heard that his disciples include celebrities and billionaires. If he is fighting against Luo Hao, there¡¯s nothing for us to worry.¡±

    Regardless of his strength, Priest Hwang was definitely the most reputable amongst them.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s ears twitched like a cat. With the power of ¡°Two is better than one¡±, he could hear the whispers between the people in the hall. He could not help but grinned when he heard them.

    Based on the fact that Master Hwang had cat scent on him, Zhao Yao had concluded that he was an apostle. Perhaps he was an ordinary person in the past that relied on trickery for a living. However, the descent of the supercats had endowed him with real superpower.

    Luo Hao became an even more mysterious figure in Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes.

    Until now, Zhao Yao could not detect any cat scent from his body, and he still could not understand how his power worked.

    Meanwhile, Master Hwang had walked towards Luo Hao and stood in front of him. His aura was infectious, and he spoke to Luo Hao confidently, ¡°Luo Hao, you have abused magic and tricked the house of Xiao to cheat their money.

    However, I understand you have spent much effort to acquire the power which you currently wield. If you leave the house of Xiao and be my disciple, I will be able to let all of this go,¡± In his heart, Master Hwang was thinking, ¡°I¡¯m sure he has a supercat with him. I would take the cat away from him ... Hehehe.¡±

    He opened his mouth, and there was a me burning strongly in it

    ¡°If not, I will let you have a taste of the power of the searing mes of Mao Shan which have been passed down from generations to generations.¡±

    The crowd went to their feet as they saw the fire flickering in his mouth. Until now, Master Hwang was the only person among the gang of strange people who had demonstrated his superpower.

    Even Xiao Ai Guo¡¯s mouth was wide open in shock. Granny Xiao raised her eyebrows and was clearly in disbelief.

    Zhao Yao squinted his eyes and pondered, ¡°Is this the power to manipte mes?¡±

    ¡°Hehe, finally something interesting,¡± Luo Hao dered as he scratched the bottom of his chin, ¡°I¡¯ll let you make the first move. If you can make me stand on my feet, I will admit defeat.¡±

    Master Hwang raised his eyebrows and could not believe that his opponent was so smug.

    Master Hwang opened his mouth and spat something out. mes appeared out of his mouth and turned into a ming dragon as it encircled Master Hwang¡¯s body.

    The tail of ming dragon was still connected to Master Hwang¡¯s mouth; it looked like an extension of Master Hwang¡¯s body.

    The dragon¡¯s body was entirely engulfed in mes as it flew around in the hall. The heat of the mes spread, and the crowd felt as if a heat wave had enveloped the room.

    ¡°This power allowed him to produce mes from his mouth and can be molded into different shapes and sizes?¡± Zhao Yao scratched his head as he was deep in thought, ¡°It¡¯s a littleplicated, but it seems quite interesting.¡±

    However, as the crowd was looking forward to the exciting battle which would unfold in front of them, Luo Hao shouted, ¡°Never mind, I have a change of mind. Your power is a little disgusting. I do not wish to fight against something thates out of your mouth.¡±

    Anger shed across Master Hwang¡¯s eyes as he retorted, ¡°Kid, it¡¯s toote for you to surrender now.¡± Due to the mes in his mouth, his words were slightly hard toprehend, but the audience still managed to make out the words.

    There was a flicker in the mes as the ming dragon immediately flew towards Luo Hao.

    Luo Hao remained seated in his seat with his eyes staring straight at the ming dragon which was flying towards him at top speed. At the instant when the dragon almost made contact with his skin, Luo Hao waved his arm.

    He brought about an enormous force with the swing of his arm. The air particles were instantly ripped apart, and the ming dragon was shredded into pieces. All that was left were the ashes floating in the air.

    ¡°How ... How is this possible?¡± Master Hwang stared dumbly at Luo Hao. He could not believe what he had just seen.

    The next moment, Luo Hao grabbed the air in front of him, and Master Hwang was strangled by an invisible hand. Master Hwang was elevated into the air as he struggled to escape from the clutches of the invisible hand. His face was turning purple, and he was about to suffocate.

    Everyone was astonished by it. Firstly, they did not expect Master Hwang to be able to demonstrate his abilities mentioned by his followers. Secondly, they never expected him to be trounced after using his power.

    Master Hwang¡¯s face was turning ck, and his kicks were getting weaker. He was on the verge of death. A voice erupted which jolted the people from their shock.

    ¡°Hey, are you really going to kill him?¡± Zhao Yao shouted.

    ¡°Hmm, useless fool,¡± Luo Hao sneered and released his grip. Consequently, Master Hwang fell to the ground and was staring at Luo Hao in fear.

    However, Luo Hao was not paying any attention to Master Hwang as he looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Interesting, aren¡¯t you afraid of me?¡±

    He tilted his head as he continued to re at Zhao Yao and continued, ¡°Or are you trying to court death?¡± To Luo Hao, none of the people here was his opponent. Even if all of them attacked him at once, it would be like child¡¯s y to destroy them.

    Xiao Ai Guo looked at the defeated Master Hwang whoy on the floor. He was devastated as he did not expect Master Hwang to fail.

    ¡°This Luo Hao, he is a devil. How can such supernatural power exist in this world?¡±

    Xiao Ming walked to his uncle and patted him on his shoulder. Heforted him by saying, ¡°Uncle, don¡¯t worry. I have also hired an expert to help us. The person I hired is no ordinary man; even Luo Hao would not be his match.¡± Xiao Ming was extremely confident in Zhao Yao¡¯s abilities.

    Xiao Ai Guo turned his head to the young man who had just shouted at Luo Hao. He seemed so young and ordinary. Xiao Ai Guo held his head in his hands out of disappointment.

    Based on his appearance, Zhao Yao was not promising at all.

    Xiao Ai Guo still nodded his head after hearing his nephew¡¯s words because he did not want to be a wet nket. However, he was already thinking about how to clean up this mess.

    Burning rage hissed through Granny Xiao¡¯s body like deadly passion as she erupted, ¡°How dare you find this bunch of idiots to fight against Master Luo? The two of you are not young anymore, and you still cannot differentiate between the liars from the authentic ones? How am I supposed to pass the business to you guys?

    How many times do you need me to repeat? Master Luo has the power of God, and he is a person who deserves our respect. I don¡¯t even care if it takes half our assets to keep him here.¡±

    Xiao Ai Guo turned gloomy and thought, ¡°Are we going to let this Luo Hao guy climb over our head and do whatever he wants?¡±

    The priests, monks and the rest of the people were taken aback by what they had just witnessed. The ming dragon and the invisible hand were powers which they had not believed were possible in our world. In their eyes, Luo Hao was a terrifying person.

    Priest Yang was confused and pondered, ¡°This Luo Hao, how did he manage to do this? And priest Hwang, he used to be like the rest of us, how did he gain this power to produce fire? Unless there¡¯s really the existence of superpower? It¡¯s impossible, how can such a thing exist. Unless this was all just an act?¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao did not respond to Luo Hao¡¯s provocation. He immediately activated his power to freeze time.

    The entire world was at a standstill, and Zhao Yao was speeding towards Luo Hao as hemenced his assault.

    When time resumed, they only saw Zhao Yao¡¯s body magically appearing in front of Luo Hao.

    At the same time, Luo Hao¡¯s body was shaking violently as both his eyes rolled back and he fell to the floor unconscious.

    ¡°Woo, sess,¡± Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief. Luo Hao seemed to have the power of psychokinesis, but yet Zhao Yao was not too sure about it.

    No matter what, even if he could not identify the opponent¡¯s ability, the best way to resolve it was to defeat Luo Hao before he could evennd his attack on Zhao Yao.

    Matcha¡¯s power was instrumental in such circumstances.

    ¡°Settled?¡± Xiao Ming¡¯s uncle stared at Zhao Yao in disbelief. He never expected Zhao Yao, who seemed like an ordinary officer boy, to trounce Luo Hao.

    The rest of the people gasped in horror as they had no idea what Zhao Yao had done.

    ¡°What kind of magic is this, what did they do?¡±

    ¡°Who is this master? Howe I¡¯ve never seen him before?¡±

    Suddenly, the president of the Nanyang Feng Shui Association, Master Mao, stood up and announced, ¡°This has finally been settled. I have just sacrificed ten years of my life to seal his power. This had decreased his vitality, and allowed him to be taken down with a single strike.¡±

    The people around him mumbled in unison, ¡°F*cking liar.¡± Nobody even bothered looking at him.

    Everyone was staring at Zhao Yao in awe, as memories of the scene flooded their minds.

    This scene terrified only Granny Xiao. She was shaking violently and repeated, ¡°Gone, gone; we are gone. What have you done?¡±

    Xiao Ai Guo walked towards her and tried to ease her tensions, ¡°it¡¯s all right, mum. We have gotten rid of this guy; you no longer have to be afraid of him.¡±

    He turned around to Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Master, we are indebted to you. Luo Hao went around cheating people with his ability and even threatened my mother. If not for you, I really wouldn¡¯t know what to do.¡±

    Confusion shed across Granny Xiao¡¯s eyes as if she had just been awakened from a nightmare and she shouted, ¡°Finished, you are finished, all of you are finished. All of you will die.¡± Everyone felt uneasy as they saw the fear on her face.

    Xiao Ai Guo patted his mother on her shoulders and whispered, ¡°It¡¯s okay, don¡¯t worry mum. Everything has ended, and we have destroyed Luo Hao. I promise you; you will never have to see him again.¡±

    ¡°You dumb fool.¡± Granny Xiao retorted, ¡°He is gone? You guys do not know what grave mistake you havemitted. You did not defeat him; you merely infuriated him!¡±

    ¡°Rascal ... it¡¯s time for you to experience what true terror is.¡±

    Everyone could not help but shivered in fear as they heard Luo Hao¡¯s words which were full of wrath. They knew that something terrible was about to happen as they felt chills down their spine.

    A shadow emerged from Luo Hao¡¯s body, and it emanated coldness. The room¡¯s temperature felt like it had dropped by 15 degrees.

    Everyone stared at it with their mouth wide open as they could not believe their eyes. A shadow was slowly crawling out from Luo Hao¡¯s body.

    His facial features were entirely different from Luo Hao. He looked pretty handsome, but his face had a ckish-green tint.

    ¡®Gh .. Gh.. .Ghost...¡± Master Mao pointed at the figure in front of him as his body shook violently.

    ¡°Namo Amitabha Buddha¡± A monk started chanting with the Buddhist prayer beads in his hands.

    All the psychics and priests erupted into chants.

    When faced with this spiritual being, the majority of them chose to believe in the power of their faiths even though they were liars.

    Only Master Mao and Priest Yang began to leave the ce secretly.

    Priest Yang was inplete shock as he thought, ¡°D*mn it, I only came here to earn some quick bucks. What bad luck to meet a ghost here?¡±

    The spirit looked at the groups of monks and priests who tried to bring him down with their prayers and chants. The spirit stared at them nonchntly and mumbled, ¡°Boring.¡±

    At the next moment, the spirit waved his arm, and he brought about a giant gust of wind, and he shed across their bodies. Everyone started rolling on the floor and howled in pain. Almost all of them went unconscious immediately.

    With a single strike, the spirit was able to defeat most of the monks and priests in the hall. The spirit pouted his lips as he saw the rest of the monks, priests, and members of the Xiao family scurrying for their lives. He then gently clenched his fist. Immediately, a ck curtain slowly descended from the sky, and many spirits appeared out of thin air and surrounded the entire ce. He had instantly transformed the manor into a ghost house.

    Priest Yang was leading the group of people trying to escape. However, he was stopped by green-faced spirits with fangs protruding out of their lips as they stood at the exit. They shrieked and ran back to the hall.

    Master Mao saw Priest Yang running back to the hall and shouted, ¡°Are you crazy? Do you think you can stop these spirits?¡±

    Then, he noticed the green-faced spirits chasing after Priest Yang. He instantly turned on his heels and ran towards the hall before he tripped and went unconscious.

    However, they did not know that these spirits, which were chasing after them, were incapable of hurting them. They were simply illusions. The only thing which could hurt them was the main spirit in the hall.

    The people who tried to retaliate had fainted, and those who wanted to escape had returned. They could only stand at their original spot as they stared at the spirit which had emerged from Luo Hao¡¯s body in fear.

    ¡°So this is how it works,¡± Zhao Yao who was silently observing the entire situation had an aplished grin on his face. He pped his hands and said, ¡°it¡¯s not psychokinesis, but the ability to turn into spirits? So the ability to send people flying off, and confusing Granny Xiao, or even the ghosts he had conjured were just powers he had after turning into a spirit?

    This means that the person with the superpower was not even Luo Hao himself. The person¡¯s spirit had merely possessed Luo Hao¡¯s body, which exined why Luo Had had no cat scent on him.

    Oh, this all makes sense.¡±

    This was the first time Zhao Yao witnessed the power to transform into spirits. It was an eye-opening experience. He was d he finally solved the mystery of this ability.

    However, one thing which Zhao Yao did not know was that the power was not as strong as he had imagined. The many spirits flying around in the hall were just a distraction to scare people. They could not deal any damage at all.

    To gainplete control of an individual, Specter had to possess it just like how Specter possessed Luo Hao. If Specter wanted to control it by an indirect method, he needed to change the person¡¯s attitude and personality. It would take at least one or two months as seen from Granny Xiao.

    If not for Granny Xiao¡¯s old age and her frail body, Specter would have possessed her body and made things less troublesome.

    There were numerous conditions before Specter could possess an individual¡¯s body. If the person had a strong will and was full of energy, it would be impossible to possess it. A person who was too weak and gued with illnesses also could not be possessed.

    Hence, Specter¡¯s only ability which could actually hurt others was the attack which hended on Master Hwang.

    Xiao Ming ran to Zhao Yao and was trembling from head to toe. He asked Zhao Yao with chattering teeth, ¡°Master Zhao, I don¡¯t think this is the appropriate time to say such words.¡± Even though Xiao Ming could not understand what Zhao Yao said, but he understood the gravity of the situation which they were in.

    The specter¡¯s body released ck gas into his surroundings like those evil boss monsters in television series. Xiao Ming was flustered and asked, ¡°What are we supposed to do? This person is way too strong.¡±

    Xiao Ming was an unusually timid person; any rustling in the middle of the night could make him piss his pants. When he saw the entire ceiling enveloped by ghosts and spirits, he felt that his heart could stop beating at any moment.

    Specter heard the conversation between them. After settling the gang of strange people, he turned his attention towards Zhao Yao and snickered, ¡°How are you, do you regreting to this manor?¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°So your power is to turn yourself into a spirit and possess another person¡¯s body?¡±

    Specter continued sniggering and thought that there was nothing Zhao Yao could do even if he understood the origins of his power. He waved his hand which created an invisible force that went straight for Zhao Yao.

    However, instead of writhing in agony after getting attacked by Specter, Zhao Yao vanished along with everyone else in the hall.

    Specter squinted his eyes and remarked, ¡°I guess this guy has some superpower as well. D*mn it ...¡±

    Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief as he disappeared from Specter¡¯s vision. He had tested Elizabeth¡¯s power and concluded that he could not take control over his body when Specter was in his spirit form. However, the illusions still worked as per usual. He turned around to the rest of the people in the hall and shouted, ¡°He cannot see you guys so faster get the hell out of this ce.¡±

    Xiao Ming remained dumbfounded. The rest of the people did not believe Zhao Yao¡¯s words. Some were screaming while others were bawling in fear, some even went on their knees and begged for mercy from Specter.

    Zhao Yao groaned and instructed Xiao Ming, ¡°Quickly get them out of this ce!¡± Zhao Yao did not know what other powers Specter had up his sleeve. After turning into his spirit form, he had developed skills which were synonymous with spirits. He might even be able to see through this illusion.

    Elizabeth¡¯s illusion still could not affect the sense of touch and sense of taste which made it an imperfect illusion.

    Xiao Ming looked at Zhao Yao with conviction and decided to take a leap of faith. He gritted his teeth and eximed, ¡°He cannot see us, follow me now!¡±

    The rest of the people stared at Xiao Ming as if he was an idiot. However, the spirits conjured by Specter did not seem to notice Xiao Ming¡¯s attempt at escaping, and he soon reached the exit.

    The people who saw this immediately came to their feet and started escaping. Priest Yang was obviously the one running at the front.

    The rest of the monks and priests who were unconscious regained their consciousness and joined the others in escaping.

    Priest Yang shouted, ¡°F*ck, so they were just ying dead?¡±

    Master Mao pointed at Specter and replied, ¡°You don¡¯t say? How can we fight against this monster, this is better left for the Avengers.¡±

    Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief as he saw the masses of people sessfully making their escape. He would have fewer worries without them here.

    During their escape, Specter used psychokinesis which disturbed the air particles to locate Zhao Yao¡¯s position in the hall.

    ¡°Illusion?¡± Specter started to understand Zhao Yao¡¯s power, ¡°Even my sense of direction and space are distorted, but ...¡± Suddenly, he descended from mid-air to the floor and was standing like how an ordinary human would.

    ¡°My sense of touch remains undistorted.¡±

    When his feet were about to make contact with the floor, Zhao Yao had frozen time and sent a fury of kicks and punches against Specter.

    Zhao Yao felt the impact of his punches and kicked, Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Even though he seemed like an intangible spirit, he still had to turn himself tangible if he wanted to make contact with matter.

    Elizabeth¡¯s illusion could not distort his sense of touch and taste. If he wanted to expose this loophole, he must turn his body tangible.¡±

    When time resumed, thebined effects of Zhao Yao¡¯s punches and kicks exploded in an instant. An explosion erupted in everyone¡¯s ears. When they turned their heads around, they saw Specter¡¯s body exploding into pieces and turned into ashes.

    However, before they could get excited over it, Specter¡¯s exploded body turned into a gust of wind and spread into every corner of the hall. In the blink of an eye, Specter¡¯s body had upied the entire room.

    At the most critical moment, Elizabeth¡¯s illusion was disrupted as Zhao Yao tried to freeze time again, exposing the masses to Specter.

    However, Zhao Yao quickly reverted to Elizabeth¡¯s power and cast an illusion on Specter. However, Specter had already seen the direction in which the people were heading towards.

    Specter shouted, ¡°You can¡¯t save them! You cannot save anyone!¡±

    The rows of seats in the hall were crushed and torn into pieces. Even the walls, chandeliers and the light bulbs all cracked and exploded.

    Specter had used his attack indiscriminately in the direction which the people were running in.

    The gust of wind was extremely fast and had almost caught up with them.

    Zhao Yao looked at this magnificent sight and thought, ¡°After turning into his spirit form, he was simultaneously capable of psychokinesis, body mutation, conjuring of spirits and even the ability to pass through matter by turning his body intangible.

    Currently, he was exactly like how legends had described spirits to be. Other than me, I¡¯ve not known of a single person who was capable of having more than one power. The worst thing is he has four powers ...¡±

    Specter¡¯s ability to change into different forms was the most annoying power which Zhao Yao had faced up to now. Specter did not pose much of a threat to Zhao Yao, but it was very troublesome to deal with him due to the possible damage he could inflict on the rest.

    The people escaping turned their heads to see the gust of wind hot on their heels and they erupted in screams and howls.

    Under such dire circumstances, Zhao Yao disyed a level ofposure that one could not imagine. This was due to his physical condition and the enormous power he had.

    ¡°I can easily escape by using time freeze, but if I wanted to defeat him, normal physical attacks seemed pretty ineffective,¡± Zhao Yao pondered. Even though all his powers were extremely potent, they were not effective as forms of attack against Specter. He did not know how to take Specter down quickly.

    ¡°However, I could still give it a go with time distortion. Even if I were inflicted with heavy injuries, I could switch to Matcha¡¯s time distortion and heal instantly.¡±

    A risky idea shed past his head when he saw the spirits were just inches away from the people escaping.

    At the next moment, Zhao Yao had reappeared from his illusion and was in Specter¡¯s field of vision. Specter roared with fury as he flew towards Zhao Yao¡¯s position.

    ¡°Finally found you!¡± Specter was dashing towards Zhao Yao as a stream of ck smoke.

    Specter broke into howls andughter as he narrowed the distance between Zhao Yao and himself. Specter was so happy to see the look of distress on Zhao Yao¡¯s face.

    ¡°Got you!¡±

    The ck smoke turned into a palm and shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s body. At the next second, it seemed like Specter had teleported behind Zhao Yao and his fist prated Zhao Yao¡¯s body.

    However, right before he made contact with Zhao Yao¡¯s chest, Specter felt like he hadnded himself in a cave. Everything in front of his eyes turned dark, and he had reached another world.

    Specter was confounded by the world which he had been transported to. He could not even react to his situation. His mouth was wide open in shock when he saw a Panamera cruising towards him.

    In reality, Dust Ball was bewildered. A moment ago, she was still sleeping soundly in Zhao Yao¡¯s pocket. Now, Zhao Yao took her out from his pocket and stretched her mouth wide open.

    ¡°Zhao Yao! What did I just eat?¡± Dust Ball licked her lips and asked hesitantly, ¡°It seems quite delicious though.¡±

    Zhao Yao gave a gentle rub on the back of her head and replied, ¡°Nothing, it was just an ice-cream. Was it good?¡±

    Dust Ball continued to lick her lips and stared at Zhao Yao with an adorable smile, ¡°Are there more?¡±

    Dust Ball¡¯s loyalty had increased by 1 point.

    ¡°Nope, but I¡¯ll give you more when we get back!¡± Zhao Yao giggled when he saw Dust Ball¡¯s loyalty increased. He turned his head to his BOOK and noticed that he hadpleted the mission on the mission panel. Phew! He could finally rx after receiving confirmation that the mission was over.

    He allowed Specter to make contact with his body to convince Specter that he had a tangible body. With the use of illusion to disguise Dust Ball¡¯s position and Specter¡¯s disorientated sense of direction, Zhao Yao immediately led Specter into Dust Ball¡¯s mouth.

    Extradimensional belly allowed living matter to enter if they wanted to. That was how Matcha came to get hold of his phone.

    Extradimensional belly could also simultaneously absorb non-living matter.

    Zhao Yao did not know whether Specter got absorbed in because he was a non-living matter or because he willingly went in as a living matter. Zhao Yao just created a condition which would fulfill both requirements and captured it in Dust Ball¡¯s belly.

    Zhao Yao was supposed to earn two hundred experience points for the mission. Due to ¡°2X Exp Card¡±, he received four hundred experience points instead. Suddenly the contents of his book changed again:

    Book: lv3(824/2000)

    The ck curtain and all the spirits had disappeared. Order was restored in the manor.

    The people who were escaping stopped in their tracks and turned around to see Zhao Yao and Dust Ball with a look of astonishment.

    Xiao Ming was the first person to notice, and he shouted agitatedly, ¡°Master did you seed? Did you manage to ovee that spirit?¡±

    ¡°Hmm,¡± Zhao Yao was pleasantly surprised by his wit and grinned from ear to ear. He nodded his head and continued, ¡°I¡¯ve used a magical seal to seal the spirit into the ck cat¡¯s stomach. You do not have to worry. The spirit will never bother your family again.¡±

    Gasps and exmations erupted from the people. Even Xiao Ai Guo, the person who did not have much faith in Zhao Yao, came forward to shake his hands and told Xiao Ming, ¡°Xiao Ming, you haven¡¯t introduced ask us to our savior! This spirit threatened our family for a long time; I could not imagine what could befall us if he did not intervene and save us.¡±

    Xiao Ming stared at Zhao Yao hesitantly because he had promised to keep Zhao Yao¡¯s identify a secret.

    Xiao Ai Guo noticed it and announced, ¡°It¡¯s okay. No matter what you will always be our family¡¯s savior. You must stay for dinner for us to show our gratitude.¡±

    Granny Xiao, who was previously influenced by the Specter, staggered over to shake Zhao Yao¡¯s hands. She could not express her gratitude in words.

    As for the rest of the Xiao family, they were just in awe as they gazed at Zhao Yao with admiration.

    It was rather an awkward situation for the priests, monks, and psychics to be in. They were quite reputable and respected by many in their fields. Today, whenpared to Luo Hao and Zhao Yao, it was like Golden State Warriorspeting against Das Mavericks.

    However, Zhao Yao was the one who saved them from the evil spirit; they were grateful yet envious of Zhao Yao¡¯s ability. They had a mixed bag of emotions just thinking about what happened.

    Luo Hao, who was previously possessed by Specter, regained consciousness after Specter was sealed in the extradimensional belly. Members of the Xiao family brought him out of the house, and no one knew what they were going to do to him.

    However, there were a few people who had other ideas in their head. Priest Yang and Master Mao stared at Zhao Yao with a glimmer in their eyes, and they thought, ¡°If I were to learn magic from this guy, I would be able to make so much money.¡±

    Zhao Yao was not bothered by the attention he was showered with. He just felt a little awkward because of Granny Xiao¡¯s never-ending handshake which was followed by words of thanks by every member of the Xiao family and culminated with a feast.

    However, that was not what Zhao Yao wanted. He was still waiting for the thing which he longed for.

    He could not help but think, ¡°Aren¡¯t you guys super rich? Just quickly give my pay, who wants to have dinner with you? I would rather go back to my cats.¡±

    It was as if Granny Xiao could read Zhao Yao¡¯s mind as she tapped her head and announced, ¡°I got washed over with happiness that I almost forgot about the most important thing. I would like to thank everyone who came down today and help solved this crisis. You can collect a RMB one hundred thousand red packet when you leave. Please take it as a token of my appreciation.¡±

    Granny Xiao was very good with her words. Her speech lifted the mood in the hall, and everyone was seen grinning from ear to ear.

    She held Zhao Yao¡¯s hands and whispered, ¡°Especially you, Master. God knows what would happen to my house if not for you. However, I know that you do not care about money ...¡±

    Zhao Yao shouted in his head, ¡°No! I care about money! I love money! The only thing I love in life is money and cats!¡± However, he continued to look at Granny Xiao with a gentle smile.

    Granny Xiao continued, ¡°However, I do not know of any other ways to repay you but with money. I will get someone to transfer RMB fifty million to your ount. It¡¯s just my token of appreciation. If you need help in the future, the house of Xiao would always be at your service.¡±

    A few sitting at the table stared with their mouth wide open. Even at the house of Xiao, RMB fifty million was no small sum. However, Granny Xiao had absolute authority over the house, and her words overwrote everyone.

    Under the influence of Specter, Granny Xiao had witnessed how powerful such magic was. Her gesture was not just to show her gratitude but to pull Zhao Yao to her side.

    Zhao Yao was in a daze when he heard the words, RMB fifty million, and was over the moon.

    His smile did not fade as he walked into Xiao Ming¡¯s car and was on his way back to his caf¨¦.

    ¡°RMB Fifty million ... RMB Fifty million ...¡±

    Xiao Ming pouted as he saw Zhao Yao who could not hide his excitement to himself and asked, ¡°Master, where are you heading to? Back to the caf¨¦?¡±

    Zhao Yao was jolted from his daydream by Xiao Ming¡¯s question and asked, ¡°Oh yes, how about the RMB two million which you promised me.¡±

    Xiao Mingughed awkwardly and responded, ¡°You can send me your bank ount details via WeChat, and I¡¯ll get someone to send the money over as soon as possible.¡±

    However, both Xiao Ming and Zhao Yao did not notice, or maybe it was impossible for them to realize that they were stalked.

    It was a cat stalking them. Its body was translucent, and it gave out a faint blue light. Its hind legs were just a cloud of smoke, making it almost impossible to spot. Because of its appearance, you could not even identify its species.

    Its form was very simr to Specter¡¯s form and it was evident that it was the supercat which gave Specter his power.

    Because it was always in its spirit form, Zhao Yao and Xiao Ming did not notice it.

    It was just floating behind the car, with a curious look on its face.

    ¡°So there¡¯s a power which could eat up a ghost? I thought that I was invincible with my power, I guess there¡¯s so much more for me to learn about superpowers.¡±

    It licked its paws and pondered, ¡°Hmm, even though I still do not fully understand how his power works, but I should keep an eye out for the both of them.¡±

    Hence, the spirit cat followed them all the way back to the cat caf¨¦.

    They had spent quite some time on the road and in the fight against Specter. They arrived at the caf¨¦ just before it closed.

    The spirit cat continued following Zhao Yao and noticed something strange when he stopped abruptly and held his head in his hands.

    ¡°Shit, my Panamera is still in Dust Ball¡¯s belly.¡±

    It was going to be exasperating to retrieve his Panamera with Specter inside Dust Ball¡¯s extradimensional belly.

    Even though Dust Ball would usually vomit the objects out in the order which they were absorbed in, there was still a possibility of the order being jumbled up.

    To save on parking fees, Zhao Yao had kept his Panamera in Dust Ball¡¯s belly.

    This meant that if he were to retrieve his Panamera, it might inadvertently release Specter.

    Zhao Yao cupped his face and mumbled, ¡°This is so irritating. I muste up with a method to restrain Specter when he emerges. However, even if I could restrain Specter, the order in which the items were expelled might still be random... unless...¡±

    His eyebrows knitted together and he was deep in thought, ¡°I¡¯ve never really trained with Dust Ball¡¯s extradimensional belly¡¯s ability. Perhaps I could control the order or even specify the objects I expel with my training.

    If not, I¡¯ll just have to wait for 24 hours and see if Specter¡¯s ability to turn into spirit form would wear out. I hope that this transformation isn¡¯t forever.¡±

    Zhao Yao then brought Dust Ball into the caf¨¦.

    The moment they stepped foot into the caf¨¦, they were surrounded by the soothing frequency of Celestial Beats.

    Both of them had not left Celestial Beats for such a long time. Thefort and rxation which they currently experienced were divine.

    Dust Ball¡¯s loyalty increased by one point again.

    Zhao Yao beganughing at this sight and thought, ¡°If Dust Ball¡¯s loyalty continues to increase, and consequently improve the sess rate of me using her ability. This would make the training much more efficient.¡±

    At this moment, Coco Sun stood up with her phone in her hand and shouted, ¡°Who is Cutie Fruity Tea? Do you even know how to y? I¡¯m going crazy!¡±

    Zhao Yao turned his head and saw Coco Sun, Yan Xiao Qing, and Leigh Zhao huddled together in a game of Mobile Legends with cats resting on theirps.

    Leigh Zhao eyes¡¯ seethed with anger as shemented, ¡°This guy was added because of our geographical proximity which means that he is only 100 meters away from us.¡±

    Zhao Yao was eavesdropping on their conversation and had an inkling as to who was behind the id of Cutie Fruity Tea.¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t Cutie Fruity Tea Matcha¡¯s id in Mobile Legends?¡± Zhao Yao scratched his chin as he walked towards the cat toilet.

    Matcha¡¯s WeChat id was The Strongest Luban, but his Mobile Legends id was Cutie Fruity Tea. When Matcha came up with the id, he was still an adorable and slightly feminine cat. Zhao Yao could not help but reminisce the good old times.

    Zhao Yao opened the door to see Matcha perched on the top shelf. Matcha was inside one of the automatic self-cleaning cat litter boxes with both his paws on his phone¡¯s screen. Matcha¡¯s froze in his actions and stared at Zhao Yao dumbfounded.

    He even sucked in the poop that he had been excreting out because he was shocked by Zhao Yao¡¯s sudden appearance.

    Matcha immediately raised his paws and gestured Zhao Yao to stop when he saw him approaching.

    ¡°Calm down, Zhao Yao, you have to listen to me,¡± Matcha continued, ¡°You might not believe it, but the customers were looking for other yers to join them in their game. Coincidentally, I¡¯ve also been suffering from constipation, so I chose to apany them in-game.¡±

    Matcha looked at Zhao Yao with an awkward smile before he folded his ears and jumped from the top shelf. Matcha slowly handed over his phone to Zhao Yao, albeit unwillingly.

    Yan Xiao Qing immediately grabbed and hugged Matcha when she saw him. She said, ¡°Oh Matcha, where have you been? I¡¯ve been looking for you all this time.¡± Matcha¡¯s poprity had shot up since his disguise as a Scottish Fold. His poprity was only second to Elizabeth.

    Zhao Yao nodded his head in delight as he noticed that there were new faces in his caf¨¦. It must be due to the flyers the children distributed.

    Because it was almost time to close for the day, Shi Yu and Baiquan started cleaning up after thest customer left the caf¨¦.

    All this while, spirit cat was floating in mid-air observing the entire situation. A glimmer of intelligence shed across its eyes.

    ¡°Based on my observation, there are a total of four supercats. I never expected to see four supercats in a tiny cat caf¨¦,¡± It nced at Zhao Yao who was feeding Dust Ball with catmint and thought, ¡°To be able to subdue four supercats on his own, he must be quite strong. I need more time to observe him and his cats.¡±

    Spirit cat continued to float in mid-air as it surveyed the situation in the caf¨¦.

    When it saw Dust Ball sniffing the catmint and then rolling around Zhao Yao¡¯s feet, it raised its eyebrow and concluded, ¡°So he is controlling these supercats with the use of substances.¡±

    It circled the catmint and remarked, ¡°Hmm, this deserves to be further investigated.¡±

    It took a nce at Dust Ball and saw her drooling uncontrobly. It could not help but said, ¡°How scary. It¡¯s able to transform a supercat into his ve.¡±

    Spirit cat had already considered peppermint as a menacing item.

    Then, it flew towards Elizabeth andmenced its observation, ¡°Hmm, what a beautiful cat. Perhaps we can get to know each other a little bit better after I rescue you from this evil man.¡±

    It floated from Elizabeth to Roly Poly. It took a look at Roly poly¡¯s enormous white belly and sighed.

    Actually, Roly Poly hated cat food but was forced to consume them because of Zhao Yao. Roly Poly did not suffer from malnutrition, and he also had beautiful white fur and was healthier than ever.

    However, Roly Poly¡¯s waistline only reduced by one inch. He was still considered a big, fat cat by any means.

    The spirit cat looked at Roly Poly¡¯s current state and remarked, ¡°Such a pitiful cat, what kind of traumatic experience did you go through to turn into this?¡±

    After its observation of Roly Poly, it floated to Matcha¡¯s side. It saw Matcha swinging his tail from left to right, with his eyes glued to the phone screen.

    Even though Zhao Yao confiscated their phones during operating hours, he would return it to them after work. This gave them approximately 20 to 30 minutes of phone time as Shi Yu and Baiquan were busy cleaning up the ce.

    The spirit cat saw the influx of numbers, pictures, and animations on the phone and raised its eyebrow. It licked its paws and said, ¡°So this is the phone that people always talked about, Ho Hao Cang said that it would corrode one¡¯s mind and rob us of our fighting spirit. Is this man using a phone to aid him in controlling these cats?¡±

    Spirit cat stared at the graphics and hesitantly said, ¡°However, this seems pretty interesting.¡±

    ¡°I shall continue my observation secretly and see if I can devise a method which would expose him and stop him from corroding their minds.¡±

    Spirit cat was totally engrossed in Matcha¡¯s Mobile Legends gamey. Spirit cat only snapped out of it when Matcha kept his phone and followed behind Zhao Yao.

    Spirit cat nced at the clock in the caf¨¦ and was stunned by what it saw, ¡°This is crazy. The phone is dangerous. I¡¯ve fallen into its trap unknowingly. What happened?¡±

    This was the first time it had watch Mobile Legend¡¯s gamey, and it felt an intense attraction to the game. Spirit cat even had an impulse to y it. It did not even notice how much time it spent watching Matcha¡¯s game.

    Spirit cat was apprehensive about this impulse. Since awakening its power, it had not felt such strong urge even when it came to food.

    However, it had been captivated by Mobile Legends.

    Zhao Yao sighed when he recalled that his Panamera was still stuck inside Dust Ball¡¯s belly. He had to get an Uber because it would be impossible to bring four cats onboard a public bus.

    Shi Yu could not bear to leave the caf¨¦ because of the soothing effects of Celestial Beats. Since her exposure to it, she had enjoyed plenty of sleep, and even herplexion improved.

    When Zhao Yao saw the look on Shi Yu¡¯s face, he suddenly asked her, ¡°Shi Yu, have you gotten fatter?¡±

    ¡°Huh? Really?¡± Shi Yu immediately pinched her cheeks and got worried. She murmured, ¡°It must be because of all the food I¡¯ve eaten in the caf¨¦.¡±

    ¡°Bye,¡± Zhao Yao chuckled as he saw the anxious look on her face. He waved goodbye as he boarded the Uber he booked.

    Zhao Yao crashed on the sofa the moment he brought Baiquan and the cats home. It had been an extremely long day.

    Baiquan opened the fridge andmented, ¡°Master Zhao, there¡¯s nothing left in the fridge, I¡¯ll go out and get some stuff.¡±

    ¡°What are you going to get?¡± Zhao Yao took out his phone and continued, ¡°Maybe we can order delivery instead?¡±

    Roly Poly pounced on Zhao Yao and stared with his Puss in Boots eyes, ¡°Zhao Yao, could you kindly get me one some delivery food too?¡±

    Zhao Yao rubbed his giant belly and stared straight into Roly Poly¡¯s eyes, ¡°You shall eat cat rice.¡± He pped Roly Poly¡¯s huge stomach and said, ¡°If you manage to slim down, I¡¯ll consider treating you to KFC.¡±

    ¡°Are you for real?¡± Roly Poly started jumping for joy and shouted, ¡°I want the ten-piece KFC All-Chicken Bucket.

    ¡°I¡¯ll treat you to it once you hit 15 pounds.¡±

    The smile on Roly Poly¡¯s face immediately inverted into a frown. He currently weighed more than 20 pounds. It would be a herculean task for him to drop his weight to 15 pounds.

    Baiquan interrupted, ¡°Master Zhao, it¡¯s not healthy to always order deliveries. I¡¯ll go get some ingredients from the market.¡±

    ¡°But I¡¯m so hungry,¡± Zhao Yao rubbed his own stomach and said, ¡°I just need food in my body now.¡±

    Baiquan replied, ¡°I¡¯ll fry two eggs for you to satiate your hunger first then I¡¯ll go get some ingredients from the supermarket. I¡¯ll be back soon.¡±

    ¡°Alright, but be quick. I¡¯m about to starve to death,¡± Zhao Yao relented to Baiquan¡¯s suggestion. Afterpleting so many tasks today, he was literally starving to death. Zhao Yao decided to train with Dust Ball¡¯s ability while waiting for dinner. He hoped to be able to control the power urately so that he could retrieve his Panamera without releasing Specter.

    ¡°However ...¡± An idea suddenly sprang up in Zhao Yao¡¯s head, ¡°An average apostle could only activate their power for 24 hours. If he did not borrow the power from his supercat during that duration, he would have reverted to a normal human again.¡±

    Zhao Yao scratched his chin and decided, ¡°I¡¯ll let him out tomorrow after work.¡± However, Zhao Yao did not give up on the thought of improving his mastery over Dust Ball¡¯s ability. It would be beneficial for him to be able to specify the object which he wanted to expel from the extradimensional belly.

    Meanwhile, Matcha had returned to his massage throne. However, he did not know that spirit cat had secretly floated beside him while he was ying Mobile Legends.

    ¡°This phone game is terrifying.¡± However, spirit cat still could not resist the temptation to watch the game even though this thought lingered at the back of its head.

    Spirit catforted itself, ¡°Anyway, I¡¯m currently in my spirit mode, and they won¡¯t be able to notice my presence. This is the best time for me to understand this person¡¯s method of controlling his supercats.¡±

    Two hourster ... With its superior intelligence and keen observation skills, spirit cat had begun to understand the workings of the game.

    ¡°Why are you not in the team fight? Stop farming!¡±

    ¡°Why are you fighting against the Lord now? What are you thinking?¡±

    ¡°R*tard!¡± Spirit cat shouted furiously, ¡°Why did you go up against the gank, the tanks in your team haven¡¯t even arrived yet.¡±

    Matcha was getting med by all his teammates because of his bad ys. Spirit cat grew furious and wanted to help Matcha y so badly. Spirit cat wished to show Matcha how a true Legend fought.

    However, spirit cat noticed an anomaly at the next instant.

    ¡°Why is this happening? Why am I even angry? Why do I have an impulse to y this game?¡± Spirit cat was in disbelief and started to grow wary against the phone.

    ¡°No, I must noty my eyes on this game again.¡± Spirit cat mumbled, ¡°Ho Hao Cang was right. This phone is the most potent drug in the world. You will never be able to kick the addiction once it hastched onto you.¡±

    Spirit cat immediately left Matcha¡¯s side. It felt sorry for Matcha which was addicted to that poisonous game. It dered in its head, ¡°I must find that man¡¯s weakness and exploit it. I must get rid of their phones and save them.¡±

    Spirit cat left Matcha and floated behind Elizabeth.

    ¡°Oh, this beautiful cat is also ying with her phone?¡± Spirit cat was despondent to see Elizabeth¡¯s addiction to her phone. It was the kind of pain a parent experienced when they saw their children getting addicted to their phone.

    It floated behind Elizabeth¡¯s body and took a peek at the screen. Different scenes shed across the screen.

    ¡°This is ...¡±Spirit cat saw a few words appeared on the screen and it read, ¡°Autumn in my Heart.¡±

    At this moment, Zhao Yao walked behind Elizabeth and noticed that she was watching Autumn in my Heart. He stopped in his tracks andmented, ¡°This isn¡¯t even nice. I¡¯ll introduce you to a ssic.¡±

    Zhao Yao grabbed the phone from Elizabeth¡¯s paws and started to type a string of letters on the search box.

    ¡°Titanic is the best movie ever produced; you¡¯re wee.¡±

    ¡°No!¡± Elizabeth shouted as she swung her tail furiously, ¡°I want to watch Autumn in my Heart!¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°I¡¯ve already given you VIP membership, are you sure you don¡¯t want to watch Titanic. This movie isn¡¯t avable for those without VIP membership.¡±

    Elizabeth stared at the phone screen curiously. Zhao Yao giggled as he took a few steps back. He wanted to know if the love story between Jack and Rose would be able to move a supercat.

    The reason behind Zhao Yao¡¯s generosity in getting Elizabeth VIP membership was possibly due to the RMB fifty-two million he had earned from the Xiaos.

    Zhao Yao felt like every fiber of his being was vibrating with anticipation as he could not wait for the day where the money got transacted into his bank ount.

    After ying with Elizabeth, Zhao Yao went around the house to look for cups and bowls to improve his control over the extradimensional belly.

    He focused all his energy on imagining the object in his head. He activated his extradimensional belly ability, and the space around his mouth started to distort. ck curved lines appeared from his mouth before they polymerized and regrouped into a ss cup.

    Zhao Yao was visibly disappointed to see the ss cup appearing. He wanted to expel a porcin bowl instead.

    He spent the next one hour practicing his skill while Baiquan prepared dinner for him. Zhao Yao ate just enough so that he had enough energy to continue training. Meanwhile, Baiquan was preparing the cat rice ording to Zhao Yao¡¯s recipe.

    Zhao Yao continued to train and improve his control over his extradimensional belly.

 Chapter 111: You Jump, I Jump

    <h4>Chapter 111: You Jump, I Jump</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Every time Zhao Yao activated his power of extradimensional belly; there was a fifty percent chance of failing due to Dust Ball¡¯s loyalty points. Because of this, he had to spend two times the amount of time he usually spent on training his control over ability.

    However, his mastery over this ability had improved remarkably after spending two hours on it.

    He had developed a general sensing towards the situation within the dimension inside his belly. He could roughly gauge the position of the object he had absorbed into his extradimensional belly.

    It was not perceived by a sense of sight but rather a sense of touch. He felt as if objects were rolling around in his stomach.

    ¡°Hmm, this is a good sign. I¡¯ll be able to master this ability if I keep up with my training.¡±

    Even though he had not mastered the ability then, Zhao Yao was hopeful that there would be a day where he could expel whatever object he specified from his belly.

    ¡°However, the sess rate for activating the ability depends on ...¡±

    He immediately took out the catmint from a small bag and eximed, ¡°Dust Ball!¡±

    The tiny ck cat seemingly teleported right in front of Zhao Yao. This was the first time Dust Ball had responded to Zhao Yao¡¯s call so enthusiastically.

    Zhao Yao shook his head in disbelief as Dust Ball stared at the catmint in his hand with her longing eyes. Thank goodness, catmint did not have any side effects on Dust Ball¡¯s health.

    Zhao Yao threw the catmint towards Dust Ball, and she pounced onto the catmint and started licking it and sniffing it. Happiness flowed through Dust Ball, warming her skin like the rays of an early summer sun. Zhao Yao reached out his hand to massage her head. Dust Ball showed no signs of retaliation and instead shut her eyes, basking in it.

    Suddenly, Dust Ball¡¯s eye rolled back, and she began to drool uncontrobly in Zhao Yao¡¯s arms.

    Dust Ball¡¯s loyalty increased by 1 point.

    Seeing that Dust Ball was so obedient today, Zhao Yao decided to use her for his daily mission.

    While Zhao Yao was happily ying with Dust Ball, a strange scream erupted in his ears. Even the supercats heard the unearthly scream.

    It sounded like someone was crying and the person sounded miserable. It was a little simr to a baby¡¯s cry for his mother.

    You would have easily mistaken it for a baby¡¯s cry if this was the first time you had heard it. However, Zhao Yao knew that this was a cat¡¯s scream.

    There were many ssifications of a cat¡¯s scream. They could be categorized as mating calls, regr scream or even when it was bemoaning. Most of the time, cats screamed over insignificant things, but it sounded as if their entire family had died in a war or something.

    This time, the culprit behind the scream was Elizabeth which was watching a movie.

    Matcha descended from his massage throne to take a look at what happened. He asked Elizabeth curiously, ¡°What happened? Why are you crying? Did you lose at Mobile Legends?¡±

    Roly Poly also went forward and expressed his concern, ¡°Are you hungry?¡±

    However, Zhao Yao already an idea as to what had caused her scream. He slowly walked to Elizabeth and saw the iconic scene where Jack and Rose were bidding farewell.

    ¡°I¡¯ll never let go. I¡¯ll never let go, Jack.¡±

    Elizabeth burst into screams when she saw Jack slowly shut his eyes in the water. Elizabeth sounded like someone had chopped off her paws.

    ¡°Boohoo!¡±

    This was the difference between the way animals and humans expressed their sorrows. Animals would not break down in tears but would instead express her sorrow through screaming. At most, their eyeballs would turn watery but never to the extent of crying.

    That was the exact behavior Elizabeth had exhibited. She screamed louder and louder as she saw Jack lying motionless in the sea.

    Meanwhile, in a corner where no one noticed stood spirit cat whose face was drenched in tears. Because it was in its spirit form and it had no flesh to it, it managed to express its sorrow through tears just like humans. Its tears were gushing out like a waterfall before disappearing into the surrounding.

    ¡°Boohoo, why did Jack have to die?¡±

    ¡°Boohoo, why can¡¯t Jack and Rose be together?¡±

    Scenes depicting the interaction between Jack and Rose shed across spirit cat¡¯s head as it recalled the final scene where Jack sacrificed his life to save the love of his life. This separation reminded it of how its mother died in front of it when it was a kitten.

    Zhao Yao was at a loss for what to do when he saw how devastated Elizabeth was. He went forward to pat Elizabeth on her head andforted her, ¡°It¡¯s okay, this is just a story. Everything is fake, don¡¯t cry.¡±

    Elizabeth buried her head in Zhao Yao¡¯s chest and screamed, ¡°But Jack and Rose were in love, why can¡¯t they be together forever?¡±

    Zhao Yao justughed awkwardly and said, ¡°This is all fake. In fact, Jack and Rose are both still alive.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Elizabeth¡¯s scream stopped instantly as she raised her head and looked at Zhao Yao.

    Spirit cat, which was at a corner of the apartment, also fixed its gaze on Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Of course,¡± Zhao Yao borrowed the phone from Elizabeth and said, ¡°Jack had grown into a man with a beer belly.¡±

    He googled images of Leonardo DiCaprio and showed Elizabeth.

    It was a photo where Leonardo DiCaprio was half naked and had a full beard on.

    ¡°You see,¡± Zhao Yaoy the phone in front of Elizabeth and continued, ¡°This is his most recent photo.¡±

    Both spirit cat and Elizabeth huddled together to take a look at the photo. Elizabeth was stunned to see this fat man which Zhao Yao imed to be Jack.

    ¡°No, how can this be Jack.¡± Elizabeth swiped the phone off the sofa and replied coolly, ¡°Jack had already died; he is at the bottom of the sea.¡±

    Spirit cat chased after the phone and heaved a sigh of relief when it saw the picture, ¡°Thank goodness Jack is alive. I¡¯m quite curious to know if they got married and whether they had any kids.¡± Spirit cat smiled and thought, ¡°If only I could see them in real life.¡±

    Spirit cat was like a kid who had just watched the first move in his life; it still could not differentiate between reality and fantasy.

    Again, spirit cat snapped out of it.

    ¡°Wait, why am I interested in someone else¡¯s affair?¡± Spirit cat floated a few step backward as it stared at the phone with fear, ¡°This phone is scary. No wonder Ho Hao Cong only allowed us to use it for voice messaging and nothing else. This is truly a devil¡¯s tool. It had influenced my mind bit by bit.¡±

    Spirit cat¡¯s ability to confuse and influence an individual¡¯s personality and behavior required it to spend a long time with the target as in the case with Granny Xiao. However, Titanic made spirit cat cry andugh over a stranger within just three hours.

    ¡°This is frightening; I must nevery my eyes on this phone again.¡± While spirit cat was still settling its resolution, Zhao Yao patted Elizabeth on her head and said, ¡°Elizabeth, stop thinking about Titanic. I¡¯ll introduce you to another drama series instead.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t want. Jack is dead. I don¡¯t want to watch any drama series or movies ever.¡±

    Zhao Yao chucked and continued, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Someone always dies in a drama series. If Jack is dead, you can find another Mike or John.¡±

    He grabbed the phone and started to search for another drama series for Elizabeth, ¡°1 Liter of Tears, I guarantee that you will forget all your sorrows and be on cloud nine when you finish this show.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Elizabeth blinked at Zhao Yao with a look of naivety.

    Zhao Yao replied with a matter of fact tone, ¡°I¡¯m serious. This is extremely healing; humans always watch it after having a bad breakup.¡±

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll try one episode.¡±

    Elizabeth was devastated after watching Titanic. However, Zhao Yao took it as the emptiness you felt after watching a good movie and went back to his training.

    While everyone was fast asleep, spirit cat snatched the phone from Elizabeth¡¯s paw and ran to the rooftop.

    It used Elizabeth¡¯s phone to add a few contacts on her WeChat and sent a few messages. Then, it deleted the messages and contacts from her phone and returned to the apartment.

    ...

    Tianhe Royal Court, 42nd Mansion.

    Ho Hao Cang was vexed by all the things which had happened today and could not fall asleep as he flipped and turned on the sofa.

    The maids in the house tiptoed past him as they felt his anger in the air and did not want to do anything to infuriate him.

    Suddenly, there was a loud nk, and a female maid immediately bowed down and repeatedly apologized, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ll clean this up immediately.¡±

    Hu Hao Cang opened his left eye to take a peep at what had happened. The maid was busy cleaning up the mess that she had made. His eyebrows were knitted together, but he did not say a word.

    However, his eyes seethed with anger when he saw the maid putting all the food which she had spilled on the floor back onto the tes.

    ¡°Hey, what are you doing?¡±

    The maid was a little confused and whispered, ¡°This ... this is for the cats; I think it¡¯s okay for them to eat food that has dropped onto the floor...¡±

    ¡°You want to feed my cats with food that has been polluted by this filthy floor?¡± Ho Hao Cang sat up and stared daggers at the maid¡¯s eyes. He retorted, ¡°Would you eat this food if I offered it to you?¡±

    The maid was trembling from head to toe and did not dare to respond.

    Just when she thought she was about to faint, Ho Hao Cang went back to his sofa and said, ¡°Alright, just throw away the food in your hands. But remember, the food which the cats eat in this house must be of superior quality. The cats¡¯ food must be better than the food that you eat.

    You can eat the food that has spilled onto the floor, but you can never feed my cats with it.¡±

    Ho Hao Cang let the maid go before thinking about the things which worried him.

    He had nned to take down the Xiaos for months, and he was on the verge of seeding. However, it got destroyed by an anonymous figure, and now both his apostle and supercat were missing. His lips pursed with suppressed fury at the thought of it.

    However, he was still not done with the Xiaos. Even though he hadmitted a major screw-up this time, he still had some ways to take them down.

    Suddenly, his phone vibrated, and he saw someone had added him on WeChat with a message: I am Nekomata

    Ho Hao Cang sprang up when he saw the message and epted the friend request. He immediately asked, ¡°Nekomata, what happened? Where are you? I¡¯ll send someone over to save you immediately.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Nekomata continued, ¡°I¡¯m currently stalking the person who defeated Specter.¡±

    ¡°Where are you guys at?¡±

    Then, an enormous but invisible wave spread radially from the 42nd Mansion and turned into a huge undercurrent. This undercurrent prated every nook and crannies within Jiangmen city.

    When the sun rose the following day; Ho Hao Cang had already collected a stack of detailed information regarding Zhao Yao.

    ¡°He had just graduated from university one year ago and was a programmer. He suddenly amassed arge amount of wealth and opened a cat caf¨¦.¡± Ho Hao Cang spent the entire night reading through Zhao Yao¡¯s information. He pondered, ¡°How am I supposed to deal with him?¡±

    Because of Inspector Ho¡¯s attempt to hide Zhao Yao¡¯s identity, Ho Hao Cang did not manage to acquire the most vital information regarding Zhao Yao for the past few months.

    In Ho Hao Cang¡¯s eyes, Zhao Yao was just an ordinary guy who was lucky enough to find a supercat and turned into an apostle. He got rich using his power and spent it in his apartment, house, and caf¨¦.

    However, Zhao Yao was the person who destroyed his master n to take down the Xiaos. He was also the one who defeated Specter.

    No matter what, he still had the power to take down the Xiaos. The only thing he had to consider was how he intended to deal with Zhao Yao.

    While Ho Hao Cang was busy pondering over what to do, an orange spotted cat came over to him and took a look at Zhao Yao¡¯s photo.

    This was the cat which had saved Shi Yu¡¯s live with its power of regeneration, and it was the cat which Ho Hao Cang had named Lucifer.

    Lucifer¡¯s heart sank when it saw the photo in Ho Hao Cang¡¯s hands. It recognized Zhao Yao as the person who tried to find it alongside Shi Yu and was the one who defeated the killer cat and saved Shi Yu¡¯s live.

    Even with the power of regeneration, Shi Yu would have died if Zhao Yao did not intervene and stopped its rampage.

    At that moment, Lucifer was hiding in the shadows and did not dare to retaliate and save Shi Yu when it saw killer cat¡¯s rampage. It was Zhao Yao who rescued her.

    Lucifer knew that Zhao Yao was in trouble the moment Ho Hao Cang identified the man behind the mask.

    Even though Lucifer understood how strong Zhao Yao was during his fight against the killer cat, Lucifer also knew how terrifying Ho Hao Cang was, and no one in this world could defeat him.

    ¡°No matter how strong Zhao Yao is, he would still be crushed by Ho Hao Cang if he decided to take care of Zhao Yao.¡± Lucifer thought, ¡°I must find a way to dy this and prevent Ho Hao Cang from taking any drastic actions against Zhao Yao.¡±

    Hao Cang caressed the fur on Lucifer¡¯s back and asked, ¡°Lucifer, what do you think I should do to deal with this Zhao Yao?¡±

    Lucifer jumped onto a phone and typed out a string of words: ¡°This Zhao Yao used to take care of me when I was a stray cat. Can you think of a way to recruit him instead?¡±

    ¡°He fed you?¡± Hao Cang scratched his chin and thought, ¡°Hmm, he does live pretty near to where I found you. I guess it doesn¡¯t hurt for me to visit him.¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao rubbed his eyes as he was awakened by the sunlight which flooded his room. However, he sensed a strange smell in the apartment.

    He took in another breath, but the scent had disappeared.

    He shook his head before crawling out of his bed. He looked at Matcha which was fast asleep with his head buried in his chest, ¡°Get up and go to work!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ming,¡± Matcha mumbled, ¡°Just give me one more minute.¡±

    Zhao Yao then dragged his body to the toilet as he freshened up. Baiquan was up early as he was busy mopping the floor.

    Zhao Yao went to check his bank ount bnce during breakfast. He was both excited and nervous.

    ¡°The Xiaos haven¡¯t transferred the money to my ount yet.¡±

    ¡°RMB Fifty million is so much money; I can buy so many houses with it.¡±

    Zhao Yao could not help but jump for joy at the thought of it. After yesterday¡¯s practice, Zhao Yao felt that he had developed a better grasp over his extradimensional belly. If this carried on, he would be able to expel Panamera without releasing Specter.

    He also calcted the time at which the Specter¡¯s power would expire. He would find the time after work to expel Specter. If he had reverted to an ordinary human, he would not be able to threaten Zhao Yao at all.

    There was a spring in his steps as Zhao Yao brought the cats and Baiquan to the caf¨¦.

    Shi Yu had been eagerly anticipating their arrival. She looked at Zhao Yao excitedly before switching her gaze to the four supercats.

    After spending so much time at the caf¨¦, she hade to realize what was so special about these cats.

    Ordinary people would just think that these cats were slightly smarter than normal cats. However, Shi Yu knew that they must be supercats. She just did not know what kind of power each of them had.

    As the caf¨¦ opened for business, Zhao Yao habitually retreated to his usual spot. He switched on hisptop, logged onto QQ, WeChat and started browsing the web again.

    Soon enough, his ex-ssmates invited him to y a game.

    ¡°Hmm, yerUnknown¡¯s Battlegrounds?¡± Zhao Yao looked through the description of the game and saw the price. He did not hesitate and immediately bought the game. He was someone who would receive RMB fifty-two million soon, the price to pay for the game was peanuts to him.

    The only money which really mattered to Zhao Yao was the profits from his cat caf¨¦ because the profits would automatically trante to experience points earned at the end of each month.

    Even though Specter was unable to defeat him, Zhao Yao had a taste of Specter¡¯s power and recognized the fact that he was not invincible.

    Zhao Yao spent the rest of the time browsing the web, ying with his cats and interacting with the customers. He had already spent his entire morning in the caf¨¦ before he realized.

    Suddenly, a man wearing a suit stood outside his caf¨¦. He was tall and handsome with his long hair resting on his shoulders.

    He was attracted to the cats the moment he took a step into the caf¨¦. His ice-cold looks immediately turned into a warm and cheerful face as he looked at all the cats in the caf¨¦.

    This man who exuded an authoritative aura was none other than Ho Hao Cang.

    However, unlike the other customers, Hao Cang seemed to be immune to the effects of Celestial Beats when he entered the caf¨¦. He washed his hands, put on the shoe covers and walked towards Zhao Yao.

    At the same time, Elizabeth¡¯s voice sounded in Zhao Yao¡¯s head, ¡°Zhao Yao, there is something wrong with this guy. My Celestial Beats cannot seem to reach him.¡±

    ¡°Hmm, an apostle?¡± Zhao Yao pondered without lifting his head even once.

    Meanwhile, Hao Cang had sat opposite Zhao Yao with a smile which stretched across his face, ¡°Hi!¡±

    ¡°Can you wait for a moment,¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes were glued to hisputer screen. Beside him was Matcha whose eyes were also glued to the screen, ¡°I¡¯m going to get some chicken!¡±

    In the game of yerUnknown¡¯s Battlegrounds, the winner would see the message ¡°Winner winner; chicken dinner¡± shed across the screen.

    Hence, the winners would usually announce that they were going to have chicken for dinner to dere their victory.

    Hao Cang¡¯s eyebrows knitted together when he saw Zhao Yao and Match¡¯s addiction to the game, ¡°Isn¡¯t this bad for the cat¡¯s eyes if you let it stare at the screen like this?¡±

    ¡°And,¡± Hao Cang turned around to the customers who were ying and cuddling with the cats. He continued solemnly, ¡°I don¡¯t think you should use cats as a money making tool. Don¡¯t you feel disgusted when you share your cats with these people?¡±

    ¡°F*ck!¡± Zhao Yao mmed the table and stood up. There was a glimmer in Hao Cang¡¯s eyes, and he thought that Zhao Yao was about to attack him. Instead, Zhao Yao just grumbled, ¡°I forgot to switch to automatic mode, if not he would have died.¡± Zhao Yao shouted at his microphone, ¡°You guys don¡¯t know how fat I am, quickly help me kill him and exact revenge!¡±

    ¡°D*mn it, you killed my bro?¡±

    ¡°F*ck him!¡±

    ¡°Kill him!¡±

    ¡°Hahaha, Zhao Yao, why is your bag so fat?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s ex-ssmates¡¯ voices erupted from Zhao Yao¡¯s speaker.

    Zhao Yao noticed the confused look on Hao Cang¡¯s face and chuckled out of embarrassment, ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, I was just ying a game with my friends. What were you saying?¡±

    A hint of anger shed across Hao Cang¡¯s eyes, and he confronted Zhao Yao, ¡°I¡¯ll just go straight to the point, do you have supercats with you? I apud you for being able to earn so much money and open a cat caf¨¦ on your own.¡±

    Hao Cang¡¯s lips curled and revealed a devilish smile, ¡°Do you want to join me? Under my protection, you will be able to reach your full potential. You will enjoy fame and fortune which you have never imagined possible.¡±

    As he was speaking, there was an invisible force which erupted from his body and pushed Zhao Yao¡¯s table andptop to one side of the caf¨¦.

    Zhao Yao reacted by freezing time. When the world was at a standstill, Zhao Yao walked behind Hao Cang and tried to p his head.

    When time resumed, a p echoed in the air as Zhao Yao pped his table. Hao Cang had also deactivated his power.

    He stared at Zhao Yao and sniggered, ¡°Do you think you are the only one with a superpower?¡± He stood up and continued, ¡°You don¡¯t have to give me a reply now, I¡¯ll give you some time to think about it. I wille again soon.¡±

    In his eyes, Zhao Yao had been shaken by his power. Hao Cang believed that he had the strongest power in the world and no one could match up against him. Next, he just had to show Zhao Yao the disparity between their status and power. It would then be a matter of time before Zhao Yao joined his side.

    Hao Cang leaned forward and whispered to Zhao Yao, ¡°If you decide to join me, you can also return my subordinate ¨C Specter. Oh, he is the one who possessed Luo Hao.¡± He finished his sentence and left the caf¨¦.

    Zhao Yao bit his lower lips as he saw Hao Cang leaving his caf¨¦. At the instant when he tried to subdue Hao Cang using his power, he felt an invisibleyer of shield which protected him. The shield stopped Zhao Yao fromnding a blow on him during the time freeze.

    ¡°Elizabeth, you also cannot control him?¡±

    Elizabeth shook her head with a confused look, ¡°This guy has the ability which stopped both Celestial Beats from influencing him and my power fromnding an attack on him.¡±

    ¡°Hmm, a turtle-like ability?¡± Zhao Yao giggled as he saw Hao Cang¡¯s shadow disappearing into the horizon. He thought, ¡°I don¡¯t know if I¡¯ll be able to crack this turtle¡¯s shell if I gave my best shot. If I can¡¯t, I guess I¡¯ll need some weapons.¡±

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Seeing the number of customers in the caf¨¦, Zhao Yao gave up the thought of getting into a full-blown fight against Hao Cang.

    Zhao Yao pondered over the words Hao Cang just said and shook his head, ¡°This guy knows what I did at Xiao Ming¡¯s house. What¡¯s his rtionship with Specter?¡±

    ¡°However, my cat caf¨¦ still got discovered, ¡°Zhao Yao shrugged his shoulders and thought, ¡°It was only a matter of time before other apostles discover my caf¨¦. I will be fine as long as nobody knows I¡¯m the man behind the mask.¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately texted Inspector Ho about the incident just now.

    Meanwhile, Shi Yu had secretly gone to the bar counter and reported the entire incident to Inspector Ho as well.

    Inspector Ho received the news and broke into cold sweat. He immediately called Shi Yu, ¡°What happened, did they fight?¡±

    ¡°Erm,¡± Shi Yu was stunned by Inspector Ho¡¯s question and replied, ¡°No, what happened?¡±

    After bombarding Shi Yu with a series of questions, Inspector Ho heaved a sigh of relief when he thought that Hao Cang did not recognize Zhao Yao as the masked man.

    Meanwhile, Hao Cang gave a cold stare to a customer in the caf¨¦ before exiting.

    Hao Cang mumbled softly into the air, ¡°Nekomata, are you here?¡± Simultaneously, he took out the phone from his pocket and opened the notes application.

    Suddenly, a faint shadow appeared in the air and swept across Hao Cang¡¯s phone. A string of words miraculously appeared on the screen.

    ¡°Are you not going to kill the apostle?¡±

    ¡°Temporarily not, Lucifer seems to know this person, and I would like to give him one more chance.¡± Hao Cang continued, ¡°Let¡¯s go Nekomata, you have stayed outside for far too long.¡±

    However, the shadow seemed to hesitate in its movements before it continued typing, ¡°I would like to stay here a little while longer to continue observing them.¡±

    ¡°Hmm,¡± Hao Cang¡¯s mouth tightened into a stubborn line and replied sternly, ¡°It is too dangerous outside, I want you toe back home with me now.¡±

    The shadow did not reply. Spirit cat wanted to watch the next episode of ¡°1 Liter of Tears¡± alongside Elizabeth, there seemed to be this invisible force restraining it, preventing it from leaving this ce.

    Spirit catforted itself by saying, ¡°I cannot allow Elizabeth to fall into this man¡¯s trap alone. I must stay here to prevent Elizabeth from falling to this temptation and gather intel for Hao Cang.¡±

    Spirit cat immediately tranted its thoughts into rows of text on Hao Cang¡¯s phone.

    ¡°I need to stay here to gather more intel on this apostle.¡±

    ¡°I do not need the information, Nakomata, leave with me now.¡± Before Hao Cangpleted his statement, he felt that the shadow was slowly dissipating and had drifted away.

    ¡°I¡¯ll return home in a few days¡¯ time.¡±

    ¡°D*mn it,¡± Hao Cang gritted his teeth and admonished Nakomata in his head. He was furious at Nekomata but could not do anything about it. Among all the supercats under Hao Cang¡¯s care, Nekomata was the most disobedient one.

    Xiao Ming entered the caf¨¦ soon after Hao Cang left. However, there was a look of despair on Xiao Ming¡¯s face even though he was under the influence of Celestial Beats.

    Zhao Yao saw the expression on his face and asked curiously, ¡°Xiao Ming, what happened?¡± Zhao Yao was still eagerly anticipating the RMB fifty-two million which they had promised him.

    ¡°Master, after you leftst night, a few of my uncles ganged up together and forced my granny to relinquish her position as the matriarch on the pretext of her poor health.¡± Xiao Ming exined with his fists tightly clenched.

    Zhao Yao understood from Xiao Ming¡¯s exnation that the management level of thepanymitted many mistakes in their decision making. This all happened when Granny Xiao was under the influence of Specter. This had resulted in thepany¡¯s reputation plummeting.

    The remaining elders in the family decided to make use of this chance to force Granny Xiao to relinquish her spot at the top of thepany.

    Xiao Ming and a few others only came to realize that Granny Xiao had transferred a majority of her shares and assets to some of the uncles in the family when she was influenced by Specter. This meant that Xiao Organization was no longer under Granny Xiao.

    However what Xiao Ming and Zhao Yao did not know was that Ho Hao Cang had a part to y in all of this.

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry,¡± Xiao Ming repeatedly apologized, ¡°We won¡¯t be able to transfer the RMB fifty million over to you temporarily, but I¡¯ll transfer the RMB two million which I promised you personally as soon as possible.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Zhao Yao responded, ¡°How about your car and house? I¡¯m sure they can fetch at least two million RMB? I hate it when people don¡¯t return the money they owe me.¡±

    ¡°Erm, I¡¯m already trying to sell them,¡± Xiao Ming continued, ¡°But I still need a little bit more time.¡±

    ¡°Alright,¡± Zhao Yao stopped pestering him about the money when he noticed how troubled Xiao Ming was, ¡°Go and solve your family problem first, you can return me the money after you¡¯ve settled it.¡±

    Initially, Xiao Ming found Zhao Yao a little unreasonable and greedy. Zhao Yao was just too obsessed over the money Xiao Ming had promised him. However, at this critical juncture, Zhao Yao¡¯s kind words radically changed Xiao Ming¡¯s perceptions of him.

    ¡°Master, thank you so much.¡± Xiao Ming continued, ¡°I¡¯ll repay your kindness when I¡¯ve ovee this crisis.¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to thank me, but a little interest will be much appreciated.¡±

    After the serious discussion on money, they switched to a lighter topic. However, Xiao Ming had to receive an urgent phone call and left the caf¨¦ immediately. Zhao Yao grabbed his head out of denial.

    ¡°My RMB fifty-two million ...¡± Zhao Yao could not help but feel the heartache when he was so near yet so far away from being rich.

    After ending work that night, Zhao Yao did not continue his training. Instead, he brought Matcha, Elizabeth and Dust Ball to a secluded corner in the park. He was going to release Specter and checked whether he still had his superpower.

    He was also going to question him about the situation at the house of Xiao and asked who the mastermind behind it was. He wanted to know who was the one who stopped him from bing RMB fifty-two million richer.

    Even if Specter still had his superpower, Zhao Yao and the three cats would ovee him easily and seal him into Zhao Yao¡¯s extradimensional belly again.

    On a barren grass patch in the park, Dust Ball stretched opened her mouth and began vomiting. All sorts of things appeared, ranging from dust to garbage and even a ss cup.

    Two menu and three coffee cups appeared in the air, and Zhao Yao could not help but questioned Dust Ball, ¡°Dust Ball, why did you eat all these?¡±

    Dust Ball turned her head to reveal an awkward smile before she resumed vomiting.

    The number of objects which were expelled out of Dust Ball¡¯s extradimensional belly far exceeded what Zhao Yao had imagined.

    First, it was just typical notebooks, umbres and tissue papers. Then, there were condoms, math textbooks, ballpoint pen and even an intable sex doll whichnded on Zhao Yao¡¯s feet.

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and remarked, ¡°This guy, how did you manage to eat all this rubbish?¡±

    Dust Ball just gave a stupid reply, ¡°I saw them on the road and ate it.¡±

    ¡°This d*mn cat,¡± Zhao Yao facepalmed himself and continued, ¡°Why are you attracted to all these rubbish?¡±

    Matcha licked his paws and chucked secretly, ¡°Ms. Rubbish, no wonder there is such a bad smelling from your mouth every day. Don¡¯t tell me you also eat shit?¡±

    The next moment, Dust Ball tilted her head to the side slightly, and a gush of water spurted out of her mouth andnded on Matcha.

    Matcha, which hated water, was drenched in the water from Dust Ball¡¯s mouth. Matcha looked venomously at Dust Ball and shouted, ¡°Rubbish cat, are you courting death?¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately stopped Matcha from pouncing onto Dust Ball by grabbing his paws and said, ¡°Alright, stop arguing, I¡¯m sure Dust Ball didn¡¯t do it on purpose.¡±

    Dust Ball¡¯s head tilted in the same direction again, and one tube of glue squirted all over Matcha¡¯s body.

    ¡°Meow!¡± Matcha screamed with his eyes zing furiously. Under the bright moonlight, his ws seemed sharper than ever as he activated his power.

    Zhao Yao immediately stopped Matcha and said, ¡°Calm down! Calm down! I¡¯m going to get this off of your body.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t stop me, Zhao Yao; I¡¯m going to tear Dust Ball into half and kill it.¡±

    A few secondster, Zhao Yao activated his extradimensional belly power and absorbed all the rubbish from Matcha¡¯s body. However, Matcha was not pacified, and he remained raging with anger.

    After vomiting for half an hour, the pile of garbage umted in front of them grewrger andrger. Suddenly, they noticed a shadow shed past and saw a naked mannding on top of the pile of garbage.

    The man stood atop the pile of rubbish and looked at the night sky in amazement. He quivered in excitement as he had finally returned to the normal world.

    ¡°I¡¯m out; I¡¯m finally out!¡±

    After being stuck in the extradimensional belly for 24 hours, the man thought that he was going to die inside it.

    However, as Zhao Yao had suspected, his ability to turn into spirit form had been deactivated after the 24-hour mark.

    Elizabeth immediately took control of his body while Zhao Yao interrogated him, ¡°Speak, who are you? Why did you possess Luo Hao¡¯s body?¡±

    Specter noticed that he had lost control over his body and he was face to face with the man who defeated him in Xiao¡¯s manor.

    Zhao Yao knew that Specter was not going to divulge any information so easily. Hence, he pointed towards Dust Ball and sniggered, ¡°My ck kitten over here has quite a bad temper. If you continue to keep your mouth shut and make her wait, I¡¯m afraid she might absorb you back into that dimension.¡±

    Dust Ball co-operated with Zhao Yao by stretching her mouth wide open and activated her extradimensional belly. The rubbish around her was getting sucked back into her mouth.

    Specter¡¯s body shook violently at the sight of it. He did not want to go through another 24 hours¡¯ worth of solitary conferment with a massive pile of trash.

    Inside the extradimensional belly, there was nothing except for all the trash, Zhao Yao¡¯s Panamera and himself. It was totally dark, and this was the most dreadful experience that he had even gone through. He almost went crazy when he saw Dust Ball reactivating her power.

    ¡°I¡¯ll talk, I¡¯ll answer all your questions.¡±

    One hourter, Zhao Yao picked up his phone and contacted Inspector Ho.

    ¡°Hey, is this Zhao Yao? Are you asking me out for a sauna data?¡±

    However, Zhao Yao¡¯s voiced sounded extraordinarily stern and serious on the line, ¡°How much information do you have regarding the incident at Xiao¡¯s manor? Is Ho Hao Cang behind all these?¡± During the interrogation, Specter had divulged all the information he knew to Zhao Yao.

    Inspector Ho was equally helpless on his side. He told Zhao Yao, ¡°We know about the situation between Ho Hao Cang and the Xiao family. This is going to be a very tricky matter. I suggest you stay out of it.¡±

    ¡°Does it mean that you guys cannot do anything against Ho Hao Cang?¡±

    ¡°We cannot settle the dispute with Ho Hao Cang over a fist fight. Do not be rash and act alone.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t be rash?¡± Zhao Yao chucked as he replied, ¡°Obviously I¡¯m not going to do anything stupid. However, I hope that you can resolve this matter as soon as possible. If not, I might have to intervene.¡±

    ¡°We are trying our best,¡± Inspector Ho continued, ¡°But the situation is not as simple as you imagined.¡±

    Half an hourter, Inspector Ho sent someone over to take over Specter from Zhao Yao. On the other hand, Zhao Yao was busy thinking about the entire incident.

    ¡°Ho Hao Cang,¡± He scratched his chin and reflected, ¡°The guy who came to the caf¨¦ in the afternoon also knew about Specter. Is he Ho Hao Cang? Or maybe ...¡± He suddenly remembered that guy¡¯s invitation for Zhao Yao to join his team. Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes squinted into a line, and he concluded, ¡°He must be Ho Hao Cang!¡±

    Zhao Yao recalled Specter¡¯s description of Ho Hao Cang¡¯s power. Zhao Yao did a careful analysis and thought, ¡°Given my current power, not many people would be capable of killing me. However, taking down Ho Hao Cang is a different story.¡±

    After awakening his power, Zhao Yao had won every single fight somewhatfortably. Even Inspector Ho praised him as the strongest apostle in Jiangmen city.

    However, the concept of all these powers was somewhat strange. Even though his power had been effective against the opponents he had met, there might be one apostle out there, whose power was extremely effective against Zhao Yao¡¯s. In essence, this apostle would be Zhao Yao¡¯s Achilles¡¯ heel.

    To fight against Ho Hao Cang, Zhao Yao had to ensure he had the abilities to defeat Hao Cang confidently before Zhao Yao would go knocking at his door.

    Zhao Yao pondered, ¡°I guess I won¡¯t be getting my RMB fifty-two million anytime soon. I shoulde up with some ideas to improve the caf¨¦¡¯s revenue. If I can upgrade my BOOK by two or three levels at the end of the month, I would definitely be more confident going against Hao Cang.¡±

    On the other side, Inspector Ho put down his phone as he scratched his bald head. Inspector Ho thought about Zhao Yao¡¯s words as he opened his WeChat. He looked through the information supplied by Shi Yu and saw Hao Cang¡¯s photo which Shi Yu took.

    He grabbed his head and thought, ¡°Why must the two most troublesome apostles meet under such circumstances? Luckily, they didn¡¯t recognize one another.¡±

    He looked at Hao Cang¡¯s photo and decided, ¡°I should warn this guy. He is going a little too far.¡±

    Meanwhile, spirit cat had stalked Zhao Yao all the way back to his apartment.

    Spirit cat did not intend to intervene when Inspector Ho¡¯s subordinates took Specter away. Firstly, it was not confident in defeating the three supercats and Zhao Yao alone. Secondly, it did not even like Specter. It only lent its power to Spector to obey Hao Cang¡¯s instructions.

    Furthermore, spirit cat believed, ¡°I have an even more important mission at hand. I must continue to monitor Zhao Yao. I need to collect more intel and identify his weaknesses.¡±

    Spirit cat followed them into the apartment and saw the usual sight. Zhao Yaoy on the sofa while Matcha returned to his massage throne and Elizabeth stood near the window.

    Spirit cat noticed that Elizabeth had started watching ¡°1 Liter of Tears¡± and was trying its best to resist the temptation to watch.

    However, it realized that it could not will its body to levitate. There seemed to be an invisible force restraining its movement.

    ¡°D*mn it, I should return to Ho Hao Cang now so that I can save all these cats which are poisoned.¡±

    ¡°But, I cannot let Elizabeth fall to this poisonous temptation alone.¡±

    ¡°D*mn it, why can¡¯t I control my body?¡±

    It gave in to its temptation as it floated to Elizabeth¡¯s side.

    ¡°1 Liter of Tears¡± talked about a fifteen years old girl, Aya Ikeuchi, who contracted an incurable illness ¨C Spinocereber Atrophy. The television series revolved around how she fought against her illness to live her life meaningfully and to live with no regrets.

    Just by the name of the television drama, any ordinary humans would have known that it was going to be an incredibly emotional show. When the television drama went on the big screen, millions of viewers flocked to it and left crying after witnessing Aya Ikeuchi¡¯s determination and strength.

    When Elizabeth and spirit cat saw the scene where Aya Ikeuchi looked at the doctor and asked why the devil chose her, Elizabeth began screaming again, while spirit cat burst into tears.

    Elizabeth knew that Zhao Yao had lied to her. This was not aedy but a show which would turn anyone into a crying mess.

    However, Elizabeth could no longer control her temptations as her white paws clicked on the button for the next episode.

    Behind Elizabeth, spirit cat reminded itself, ¡°I¡¯ll leave after the next episode.¡±

    Elizabeth only went to bed at 5 am with her bloodshot eyes.

    Spirit cat was wiping the mucus off of its face, and it continued crying. ¡°Why did the devil have to choose Aya out of everyone else?¡±

    It reverted to its original form as it fiddled with Elizabeth¡¯s phone. They were only halfway through the entire series. Suddenly, it felt its whole body turned limp.

    ¡°Oh no, I¡¯ve not eaten for the entire day.¡±

    Spirit cat could not stay in its spirit form for an infinite amount of time. In spirit form, spirit cat could not ingest or excrete. Hence, it had to revert to its normal body after each transformation to satisfy its biological needs.

    Spirit cat turned to its spirit form before going round the entire apartment to ensure that the coast was clear. It first went to Zhao Yao¡¯s room and saw that he was sleeping soundly with Matcha snoring at his feet.

    Next, he went to Baiquan¡¯s room and saw him sleeping peacefully.

    Roly Poly was lying in the living room, while catmint remnants surrounded Dust Ball. Elizabeth just crashed by the window with the phone beside her face.

    Spirit cat grinned as it realized that everyone was all in a deep sleep. It reverted to its original form.

    He was a grey and white Exotic Shortfur. From the looks of it, it had a pretty thick neck and a t face which resembled a Persian cat. Its eyes were round and big.

    In its tangible form, it could finally feel the soothing sensation of Celestial Beats.

    ¡°Hmmmmm,¡± Spirit cat moaned with pleasure and wondered, ¡°What happened? Why is this sofortable? Whose ability is it?¡±

    Spirit cat could not identify the owner of this incredible power and gave up thinking about it. It rushed towards the cat feeding machine and pressed the ¡®on¡¯ button. It took a sniff and had a few bites of the cat food.

    Spirit cat¡¯s face immediately turned into a frown, ¡°This food is quite bad.¡± Spirit cat had already been used to the mouth-watering cat food at Ho Hao Cang¡¯s mansion. To spirit cat, the ordinary cat food wascking in both taste and texture.

    It then made a beeline to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. It instantly spotted the cheesecake on the top shelf.

    ¡°Hmm? Cake?¡± Spirit cat could not help but licked its lips as it stomach growled, ¡°Ho Hao Cang always eats this secretly at home, he doesn¡¯t even allow us to eat it.¡±

    Spirit cat¡¯s hunger only intensified after it reverted to his normal self.

    20 minutester, spirit cat burped as it started grooming itself. It began with its paws, and then moved on to its face, back, belly and finally its butt.

    A cat¡¯s natural cycle consisted of hunting, eating, grooming and sleeping. Domestic cats had to rece their hunting with ying. Hence, the grooming activities after eating became even more important as a form of rxation.

    Spirit cat retained its habits even after awakening its superpower. It had already groomed itself for thirty minutes as it looked at the empty packaging in front of it. It wanted to dispose of the empty packaging but decided to remove a sticker on the box before disposing of it.

    ¡°I must never let them discover who ate the cake!¡± To maintain its presence a secret, spirit cat decided to push the me to Roly Poly by pasting the sticker on his belly. Roly Poly was immersed in the soothing music of Celestial Beats and did not notice spirit cat.

    ...

    The next morning, Zhao Yao crawled out of his bed and rubbed Matcha¡¯s belly and said, ¡°Time to wake up.¡±

    ¡°One more minute! Let me sleep for just one more minute!¡± Matcha wagged his tail before going back to sleep again.

    Zhao Yao walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge. His jaw dropped when he saw the contents of the refrigerator, ¡°What happened to the cheesecake that I bought yesterday?¡± He craned his neck and asked, ¡°Baiquan, did you see my cheesecake?¡±

    ¡°Huh, didn¡¯t you eat itst night?¡± Baiquan asked curiously, ¡°I did not see it since this morning. I thought you ate itst night.¡±

    ¡°Hmm,¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyebrows knitted together as he thought, ¡°It wasn¡¯t Baiquan or me. This means one of the cats stole the cheesecakest night.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s ice-cold stare swept across the hall. Roly Poly jumped up and shouted, ¡°It wasn¡¯t me. It wasn¡¯t me. I didn¡¯t eat the cheesecake.¡±

    Zhao Yao doubted Roly Poly¡¯s words as he was literally the biggest suspect in the apartment.

    ¡°Roly Poly, if you ate it, you can just tell me honestly. I won¡¯t me you.¡±

    Roly Poly replied, ¡°It wasn¡¯t me. I didn¡¯t even open the fridge.¡±

    Zhao Yao walked towards Roly Poly and removed the sticker from Roly Poly¡¯s belly and ced it in front of his face.

    Roly Poly immediately froze before he started rubbing his body against Zhao Yao¡¯s legs, ¡°Zhao Yao, you have to trust me! It wasn¡¯t me! I would admit it if I ate it!¡±

    Seeing Roly Poly¡¯s dramatic plea, Zhao Yao began to doubt his deduction.

    He suddenly remembered the security camera which he had installed in the apartment. However, he discovered that Roly Poly was hiding in a blind spot and there were no cameras in the kitchen. He still did not know who the culprit was.

    Even though he could not confirm that Roly Poly was not the culprit, he still decided toe up with some precautionary measures. He instructed Baiquan, ¡°Lock the kitchen¡¯s door from today onwards, only the two of us can open it from now on.¡±

    Roly Poly lowered his head, and he was boiling with anger, ¡°A*shole, I really did not eat it. If I find out who ate it and pushed the me on me, I¡¯m going to let the person know that he messed with the wrong cat.¡± Roly Poly squinted his eyes as he scanned from Matcha to Elizabeth to Dust Ball. Roly Poly thought, ¡°It must have been them! They pushed the me on me while they enjoyed the delicious cheesecake.¡±

    The two humans and four cats prepared for work after their breakfast. They no longer had to get an Uber because Zhao Yao had retrieved his Panamera from Dust Ball¡¯s belly. Upon reaching, the four supercats hid in a corner and took a nap while Zhao Yao retreated to his usual corner.

    Half an hourter, spirit cat floated to Zhao Yao¡¯s side and watched him y yerUnknown¡¯s Battlegrounds.

    In the game, Zhao Yao crouched on the floor with guns slung behind his back. He wore a helmet and was crawling forward.

    This game became extremely popr recently. Zhao Yao decided to give it a try after his ex-ssmates rmended it to him.

    The gamey was notplicated. It was a first-person shooting game, and there were one hundred yers in each round. The game started with the yers being thrown into an abandoned ind with nothing on them. They had to collect resources on the ind and fought against other gamers.

    Even though the gamey was notplicated, there were a lot of guns for yers to choose from. The terrain was unique and customizable which attracted many to it.

    Spirit cat which floated behind Zhao Yao was also attracted by the contents of the game, with its eyes glued to Zhao Yao¡¯sptop screen.

    The next moment, Zhao Yao¡¯s character got hit in the shoulders, but he did not know where the bullet came from.

    However, the character would not die immediately after getting shot. Instead, he would crawl around the ce in search of help. If he received help before bleeding to death, Zhao Yao could continue ying.

    ¡°Can someone pleasee over and save me?¡± Zhao Yao immediately shouted into his microphone, ¡°I don¡¯t want to die; I really don¡¯t want to die!¡±

    ¡°D*mn it, can someonee over and save me right now? That w* nker ising for my head!¡±

    ¡°He is going to kill me!¡±

    Because of how far his teammates were away from him, Zhao Yao could only look at his character die right before his eye while he sat there and did nothing.

    ¡°D*mn it,¡± Zhao Yao smashed his fist on the table, ¡°This is the game is so difficult!¡±

    Zhao Yao suddenly turned his head back and stared right into Nekomata¡¯s eyes. This sudden movement stunned Nekomata so much that it almost reverted to its original form.

    Just when Nekomata thought that Zhao Yao had managed to see it, Zhao Yao¡¯s hand went through Nekomata¡¯s non-tangible body and grabbed Matcha which was lying on the kitty tower. Zhao Yao ran his fingers through Matcha¡¯s beautiful fur and asked, ¡°Why are you looking at me y? Shouldn¡¯t you be working instead?¡±

    Matcha replied, ¡°Sorry, I was just awestruck by how good you were in this game and forgot about the time.¡± Matcha then buried his head in Zhao Yao¡¯s arms and rubbed his body against him. Matcha continued asking, ¡°What¡¯s this game?¡±

    ¡°yerUnknown¡¯s Battlegrounds,¡± Zhao Yao nced at Matcha and asked, ¡°Do you want to try?¡±

    Matcha nodded his head excitedly. Matcha had observed this game since the day Zhao Yao bought it. He was incredibly intrigued by it and wanted to try his paws at the game.

    Zhao Yao scanned Matcha¡¯s body from head to toe andmented, ¡°From the looks of it, I don¡¯t think you can use the mouse with one paw and press the keyboard with the other paw.¡±

    Matcha stared at his paws in disbelief and jumped onto the table. He attempted to control the mouse and use the keyboard simultaneously, but could not do it no matter what. His body was just too short.

    Suddenly, Matcha thought of a great idea to ovee his physical limitations. He stood on the keyboard while he controlled the mouse with his paws. Matcha broke into a cheerful grin, ¡°Look at me Zhao Yao, I¡¯m ready for the game!¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes at this silly cat, ¡°Hmm, I guess you can give it a try.¡±

    Matcha joined Zhao Yao¡¯s ex-ssmates in the game. Zhao Yao sat at the side and judged how well Matcha could perform in this game.

    Before long, a barrage of profanities erupted in Zhao Yao¡¯s speaker. All his teammates were scolding Matcha.

    Spirit cat was floating behind Matcha as he observed Matcha y, ¡°Even a cat can y this game?¡± Spirit cat was itching to try its paws on the game as well.

    Zhao Yao looked at Matcha which was scrambling for life and was continually scolded by his teammates. He gradually lost focus on it and thought about something else.

    Everything had seemed to have gone well this month. The cat caf¨¦ had been doing quite well, and Zhao Yao could upgrade his BOOK at the end of the month.

    However, it seemed like he would not be getting back his RMB fifty-two million anytime soon and he had a new threat ¨C Ho Hao Cang.

    Zhao Yao thought about what Specter said yesterday.

    ¡°Actually, I also don¡¯t know what Hao Cang¡¯s power is. However, regardless of the type of attacks Iunched on him, it was always useless. Whenever he waved his hand, I would find myself lying on the floor.¡±

    Zhao Yao folded his arms and was deep in thought, ¡°With the power of time distortion, illusion and the second life promised by time distortion, I technically cannot be defeated. However, if I want to y safe when going against Hao Cang¡¯s unknown power, I should upgrade my BOOK and cats first.¡±

    There were still two more weeks before the end of the month. Zhao Yao started brainstorming on methods to increase the caf¨¦¡¯s revenue and consequently the experience points earned.

    Under the evening sky, Coco Sun was cosying as King Arthur from ¡®fate¡¯. She had a blonde wig, painted her nails blue and even wielded a two-handed sword in her hands. She was followed by a pack of girls who donned on equally mboyant costumes.

    They were members of the cosy society from their school, and they had left aic convention which had just ended.

    However, Coco Sun was unlike the usual cosyers at her school. She was rich, pretty, voluptuous, and was good with make-up. She was one of the most popr cosyers in college.

    Her affluent background had made a significant impact since she started cosying. Within a short period, she had been promoted to the vice-chairman of the society and was put in charge of many cosy activities.

    The members were all tired and famished from the entire day of activity. They just wanted to have a good meal before returning home to rest.

    A girl who cosyed as Asuna asked, ¡°Coco, what are we having for dinner?¡±

    ¡°Do you want to have hotpot?¡± A girl who cosyed as Diaochan replied, ¡°I heard there¡¯s a new hotpot shop right beside out school¡¯s east gate. It is really authentic.¡±

    All the girls broke into a discussion before Coco raised her hand and stopped them, ¡°We¡¯re not going to any of these ces. I¡¯ll bring you to a cat caf¨¦ to rest.¡± In her head, she thought, ¡°I haven¡¯t gone to the caf¨¦ today. Hmm, if it closes at 6 pm, I would have one hour to y with the cats.¡±

    ¡°Cat caf¨¦?¡±

    Everyone stared at Coco with a confused look, ¡°Why are we going to a cat caf¨¦?¡±

    Asuna responded, ¡°There¡¯s no food in a cat caf¨¦. Furthermore, we are exhausted. We don¡¯t have time to y with cats.¡±

    Everyone else nodded in agreement. They knew that a cat caf¨¦ was a ce for you to enjoy your coffee and y with cats. Now, they desperately needed food and a bed.

    Coco shook her head and replied, ¡°This is not an ordinary cat caf¨¦. Aren¡¯t you guys exhausted? You will be full of energy when you leave the caf¨¦. All the soreness in your muscles will evaporate when you wake up tomorrow morning.¡±

    Asuna, Diaochan and the rest of the cosyer did not believe a word Coco said. Cosying was an extremely tiring job. They had to walk around and pose for photos in their thick, heavy and cumbersome costume. They also had to be on alert for potential perverts lurking around.

    Participating in aic convention was no walk in a park. There were thousands and thousands of people shoving their way through as they searched for their favoriteic stand. Usually, the participants would not even have time to sit down and rest.

    Participating in aic convention while cosying was on a whole other level. You would have exhausted all your energy by the end of the day. Muscle soreness was to be expected for the subsequent days.

    Asuna said, ¡°Coco, stop ying with us. I just want to have some food in my stomach before I crash when I get home.¡±

    Coco gave a mysterious smile and replied, ¡°Trust me, you will not regret it once you step foot inside the caf¨¦.¡± She pointed to a shopping mall opposite and continued, ¡°Look, we¡¯re already there.¡±

    Diaochan looked at the cat caf¨¦ and wore a puzzled expression on her face, ¡°Hmm, isn¡¯t this the caf¨¦ that many people talked about in school?¡±

    ¡°Yup,¡± Coco replied enthusiastically, ¡°Quickly, let¡¯s go! I guarantee you will not regret once you step into the caf¨¦.¡± She could not wait to see her friends¡¯ face when they entered the caf¨¦.

    Asuna and Diaochan looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders.

    Asuna said, ¡°Coco, let¡¯s just y for a short while. How about 30 minutes?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not going in,¡± A girl who cosyed as Kirito responded, ¡°I heard that this caf¨¦ is really expensive, I¡¯ll wait for you outside.¡±

    Diaochan had been to a few cat caf¨¦s, but she could not understand the hype behind them. They seemed like ordinary cafes in her eyes. She shook her head and mumbled, ¡°I don¡¯t understand what¡¯s so special about a cat caf¨¦.¡±

    More than half of the people chose to stay outside the caf¨¦. They sounded somewhat angry as they just wanted to have dinner before returning home to rest.

    Diaochan thought that Coco andpany would not spend so much time in the caf¨¦ since there were many people outside waiting for them.

    She just stood outside as she looked at Coco and some girls walked into the caf¨¦.

    Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and Baiquan raised his head to see who had entered the caf¨¦ at this hour.

    Baiquan was shocked to see arge group of girls swarming into the caf¨¦, ¡°They cosyed as King Arthur, Asuna, Madoka Magica, Mio Akiyama and even Rangiku Matsumoto.¡± Baiquan stared at the girl who cosyed as Rangiku and mumbled, ¡°She looks exactly like Rangiku from Bleach.¡±

    Baiquan¡¯s face flushed with excitement because it was the first time he hade so near to a group of beautiful girls.

    Coco asked, ¡°You seem interested in cosy. Do you want to join us?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay!¡± Baiquan immediately lowered his head to hide his flushed face from them, ¡°You can sit wherever you want, and I¡¯ll fetch you the menu.¡±

    Coco proceeded to her usual spot in the caf¨¦, and the girls followed behind. The girls¡¯ expression changed immediately since they entered the caf¨¦.

    Asuna looked around the caf¨¦ and felt an inexplicable soothing sensation. She could not help but asked Coco, ¡°Coco, have they drugged this ce?¡±

    Madoka Magica was already lying on the table, with both her feet dangling in the air. She mumbled, ¡°Howfortable!¡±

    ¡°Hmm, I feel as if I¡¯m flying.¡±

    ¡°My legs don¡¯t hurt anymore, and neither does my waist!¡±

    ¡°I really feel like I¡¯m flying.¡±

    Roly Poly which was perched on the top of the kitty tower stared at the group of people curiously. He asked, ¡°What happened to these two-legged cats? Why are the colors of their fur so weird?¡±

    Elizabeth, which was surrounded by a horde of customers, curled her lips in disgust and replied, ¡°That¡¯s fake hair. These people are like silly Matcha. I guess they are probably disguising themselves as some rare human breed.¡±

    ¡°Oh, I understand,¡± Roly Poly nodded his head in agreement, and his eyes stared at their colorful hair and whispered, ¡°I didn¡¯t know there are so many human breeds. And the colors of their fur are even moreplicated than cat¡¯s fur.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean when you say they are like me?¡± Matcha, which was buried in a young girl¡¯s arms, wagged his tail furiously, ¡°Elizabeth, I am warning you. My bloodline can be traced all the way back to five thousand years ago. If you continue spouting nonsense about my bloodline, I, George Matcha, will have to take care of you on behalf of my ancestors!¡±

    He shook his head and continued, ¡°Furthermore, what you said previously was factually incorrect. They were not disguising themselves as a rare human breed. It¡¯s so obvious! Can¡¯t you guys tell?¡±

    Both cats were perplexed by Matcha¡¯s reply.

    Matcha continued shaking his head and announced confidently, ¡°Dumbass, they bought skins. This is just like the skins I bought in Mobile Legends.¡±

    Elizabeth rolled her eyes in disgust before proceeding to lick the fur on her tail.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao had been eavesdropping on the conversation all these while. He was thinking about how to increase the revenue for the caf¨¦ when an idea sprang up in his head. His eyes glimmered, and he thought, ¡°Maybe this will work.¡± He began brainstorming on his next money making masterpiece.

    Outside the caf¨¦, Diaochan and the rest were staring at their friends through the frosted ss. Since entering the caf¨¦, the looks on Coco and Asuna had changed radically. They were curious as to what had happened inside.

    ¡°What happened to them?¡± Diaochan asked curiously, ¡°They seem a little strange.¡±

    Kirito just replied, ¡°They look like they are high on drugs.¡±

    Diaochan¡¯s eyebrows knitted together as she replied, ¡°Hopefully not! Anyway, this is just a tiny caf¨¦ filled with stray cats. I¡¯m sure they won¡¯t stay inside for too long.¡±

    Half an hourter, the other girls were still inside the caf¨¦. They were either lying on the chair or ying with the cats. Diaochan¡¯s eyes seethed with anger, and she shouted, ¡°How can they be so inconsiderate? Can¡¯t they see that there¡¯s a group of people waiting for them outside?¡±

    She turned around to more annoyed faces, and she immediately took out her phone from her bag. She tried to call everyone inside the caf¨¦, but no one bothered to pick up her call.

    She turned to her friend beside her and said, ¡°Go in and get them out now, everyone is famished.¡±

    Diaochan¡¯s eyes were fixed on her friend as she saw her walking into the caf¨¦. Suddenly, she froze after she took one step into the caf¨¦. She then shook her head before walking towards Coco.

    Diaochan¡¯s eyes remained fixed on her as she just wanted all of them to leave the caf¨¦ so that they could have dinner.

    However, the scene which unfolded before her eyes shook her. Her friend took a seat beside Coco and ordered a drink.

    ¡°F*ck, what¡¯s happening? What the f*ck are they trying to do?¡± Diaochan stamped her foot in anger as she turned to Kirito who stood beside her, ¡°You! Go in and get all of them out right now!¡±

    Kirito shrugged her shoulders and followed her instructions.

    However, the mysterious scene repeated itself. She froze after taking one step into the caf¨¦. She then walked to Coco and ordered a drink!

    ¡°What the f*ck! Are they doing this on purpose?¡± Diaochan was boiling with anger. She did not understand why the people in the caf¨¦ could not spare a thought for the rest who were waiting for them outside.

    This time, she decided to take things into her own hands. She stomped her foot angrily and dashed into the caf¨¦ with a fearsome aura.

    Her body shivered the moment it made contact with Celestial Beats.

    Zhao Yao who remained seated at the corner of the caf¨¦ chortled as he witnessed this scene. When the students walked into his caf¨¦, he only saw the imaginary RMB 100 note shing at the top of their heads.

    ¡°Hmm, I guess having pretty girls in the caf¨¦ helps with business.¡±

    The entire cosy society had entered the caf¨¦ by the time it was about to close. They were either lying or sitting on the chairs. The one simrity between them was that their faces were all wreathed in smiles. Nobody bothered bringing up the topic of dinner.

    When the clock struck 6 pm, Zhao Yao slowly got to his feet and announced, ¡°It¡¯s time for us to close our shop. You guys can go back home for dinner!¡±

    Coco could not bear to leave the ce and pleaded, ¡°Boss, can you open the caf¨¦ for a few minutes more?¡±

    Asuna joined in by saying, ¡°Boss, which caf¨¦ closes at such an early timing?¡±

    Diaochan stared at Zhao Yao with her puppy eyes and continued, ¡°Boss, I¡¯ve only been here for half an hour, can you dy the closing time by just ten minutes?¡±

    Zhao Yao folded his arms and replied, ¡°Alright, we will begin packing up the ce now. However, you will have to take your leave the moment we finish packing.¡±

    Diaochan nodded her head vigorously and replied, ¡°We will not disturb you when you are packing, and we will leave the moment you are done packing.¡±

    After half an hour of packing, Zhao Yao began chasing the girls out of the caf¨¦.

    Diaochan looked at the caf¨¦ with longings eyes and said, ¡°Coco, we muste back tomorrow!¡±

    Coco nodded her head and replied, ¡°You don¡¯t say? Ie here every single day.¡±

    After locking the door, Zhao Yao immediately caught up to Shi Yu and patted her on her shoulders, ¡°Thank you for your hard work for the past two weeks. Let me treat you to dinner as a form of appreciation.¡±

    Baiquan rushed towards the both of them and asked, ¡°Boss, can I join you guys for dinner?¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go together then!¡±

    Baiquan was grinning from ear to ear and asked excitedly, ¡°What are we going to have for dinner?¡±

    ¡°How about hotpot? There¡¯s a new hotpot restaurant right outside the university. I heard it¡¯s pretty good.¡±

    Shi Yu suspected that there was more than meets the eyes as she stared at Zhao Yao. She thought, ¡°Why does he suddenly want to treat us to dinner.¡± From her weeks of interaction with Zhao Yao, she understood that he was not a generous person.

    Zhao Yao replied sheepishly, ¡°There¡¯s something which I would like to consult you about.¡±

    Shi Yu was on her guard and replied, ¡°What do you want to ask?¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s eat first! We¡¯ll discuss as we eat!¡±

    tes of beef and mutton slid into the boiling soup. Matcha and the other supercats were temporarily at the caf¨¦. Zhao Yao, Baiquan, and Shi Yu were the only ones at the restaurant.

    Baiquan lowered his head and devoured the food in a matter of seconds. With his passive power of ¡°Two is better than one¡±, Zhao Yao cleaned off all his food instantly.

    After a delicious meal, Shi Yu focused her attention on Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°What did you intend to ask me?¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°Between Daniel Wu and Kris Wu, who do you find more attractive?¡±

    Shi Yu was stunned by Zhao Yao¡¯s question. Zhao Yao did not seem like the type of person who would be interested in it.

    At this moment, the customers felt a tremor in the restaurant, and they thought that there was another earthquake. However, the shaking subsided quickly.

    ¡°D*mn, is it another earthquake?¡± Shi Yu wiped the sweat from her eyebrows and continued, ¡°Luckily it only shook for a second.¡±

    However, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyebrows were tightly knitted together. The previous earthquake had happened more than two weeks ago. He had almost forgotten about this incident. Even when he suddenly recalled about the spate of earthquakes, he had assumed that Inspector Ho had taken care of the supercat responsible. What was happening now?

    Zhao Yao shook his head and gave up thinking about it. He fixed his eyes on Shi Yu and continued asking, ¡°So between Daniel Wu and Kris Wu, who do you find more attractive?¡±

    Shi Yu was somewhat perplexed by Zhao Yao¡¯s odd question, but she still replied, ¡°I guess I¡¯m leaning towards Kris Wu.¡±

    ¡°How about Louis Koo and Kris Wu?¡±

    ¡°Kris Wu.¡±

    ¡°Then about Lu Han and Kris Wu?¡±

    ¡°Kris Wu.¡±

    Zhao Yao took a deep breath before continuing, ¡°I didn¡¯t know you were a Kris Wu fangirl.¡±

    ¡°Why? Is there something wrong?¡± Shi Yu¡¯s voice revealed her annoyance. She continued, ¡°Didn¡¯t you know that I¡¯m so shallow? I only judge based on their face.¡±

    Zhao Yao scratched his chin and replied coolly, ¡°I didn¡¯t know that most girls fancied guys like Kris Wu nowadays. I thought Daniel Wu would still be the most sought-after male celebrity.¡±

    ¡°Daniel Wu is handsome,¡± Shi Yu replied, ¡°But he already has a wife. I¡¯m definitely choosing Kris Wu over him.¡±

    Zhao Yao only asked these seemingly weird questions because of the inspiration he got from Matcha¡¯s discussions about skins.

    He intended to get a set of skins for everyone working in the caf¨¦, including the cats and himself. This was done with the hopes of improving the business.

    Zhao Yao continued grilling Shi Yu with questions about the types of celebrities which girls adored and the species of cats which they are attracted to. Currently, the majority of their customers were women like Shi Yu. Hence, he wanted to understand his customer¡¯s preference better.

    After one hour of intense questioning, Zhao Yao finally sent Shi Yu off and brought Baiquan back to the caf¨¦.

    ¡°Baiquan, I¡¯m thinking of making some skins for them,¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes wandered from the supercats to the stray cats. His lips turned into a Cheshire cat smile at the thought of the cats all dressed up.

    ¡°Huh, skin?¡± Baiquan did not seem to understand what Zhao Yao was talking about.

    ¡°Just like this,¡± Zhao Yao turned his head, and he had transformed into another person instantly.

    ¡°Wu... Wu... Kris Wu!¡± Baiquan stared at Zhao Yao wide-eyed and could not believe what he had seen. He scratched his head and said, ¡°But it¡¯s not totally identical. Boss, you have the power to transform your body?¡±

    ¡°Your boss has many abilities which you do not know of. Continue to be surprised.¡± Zhao Yao touched his face smugly. Zhao Yao had cast an illusion within the caf¨¦.

    The illusion had turned his face into celebrities¡¯ faces. Judging from Baiquan¡¯s reaction, it had been somewhat sessful.

    ¡°I shall try it on the cats now!¡±

    The supercats also noticed Zhao Yao¡¯s transformation.

    ¡°Meow!¡± Matcha which was engrossed in his game raised his head and announced, ¡°See, I told you! This is the same skin that the group of girls used. Now, Zhao Yao had also bought a skin, and he¡¯s more handsome than before.¡±

    ¡°So this is how it works,¡± Roly Poly nodded his head in amazement. He craned his neck and took a look at his belly. He mumbled, ¡°I also want a new skin!¡±

    Dust Ball was chasing after Mango during Zhao Yao¡¯s ¡°transformation¡±. She suddenly stopped giving chase and took a nce at Zhao Yao, but she did not notice any difference in his face.

    As the oldest cat among them, Dust Ball could not notice the minute differences in Zhao Yao¡¯s physical appearances.

    After taking a few nces at Zhao Yao, she resumed her hunting game with Mango.

    The two cats were chasing each other around the caf¨¦. They did not slow down even when they collided with the furniture in the caf¨¦. It seemed like they had lost their sense of pain.

    Elizabeth groomed herself as a form of reward for the day¡¯s hard work. She rolled her eyes as she heard Matcha¡¯s nonsense. Elizabeth retorted, ¡°What skins? This is just an illusion. His actual face did not even change.¡±

    Matcha was stunned by Elizabeth¡¯s reply. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and asked, ¡°Your illusion can create skins?¡±

    Matcha jumped from the top of the kitty tower and dashed straight to Zhao Yao. He ran around Zhao Yao in circles and meowed incessantly.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, can you buy me a skin too?¡±

    Zhao Yao was delighted to see Matcha¡¯s interest in it. He decided to envelop the caf¨¦ in an illusion to increase the attractiveness and consequently improved business.

    Zhao Yao chuckled and asked, ¡°What kind of skin do you want?¡±

    ¡°Can I have a wild and cool skin?¡± Matcha asked with his tail wagging in excitement, ¡°I also want a pair of wings and preferably emit light. Oh yes, I also want a sword, a super long sword!¡±

    ¡°This d*mn cat,¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s gritted his teeth. He snapped his finger and activated his illusion.

    ¡°Done?¡± Matcha scanned his body from his toes to belly and said, ¡°Howe I didn¡¯t feel anything?¡±

    ¡°The skins will only be visible in other¡¯s perspective hence you won¡¯t feel or see it,¡± Zhao Yao said it just to pacify Matcha.

    Matcha nodded his head and was eager to put his new menacing appearance to the test. He pounced in front of a white cat and roared as if he were a tiger. He puffed up his fur making him look twice as big as before. He imagined himself with a pair of wings and how he would glitter from head to toe just like Edward from Twilight.

    However, the white cat did not seem to be bothered by Matcha¡¯s new appearance. The white cat even looked at Matcha with despair. It started scratching the wooden floor and tried to bury Matcha underneath all these scrapings.

    Baiquan pointed in Matcha¡¯s direction and asked, ¡°Boss, did you turn Matcha into a pile of shit?¡±

    ¡°Hmm, yes I did. I even added wings to it!¡± With a snap of his fingers, a pair of wings appeared on the pile of shit.

    Zhao Yao continued observing Matcha which believed that he had actually turned into a devil-like cat and started chasing the stray cats around the caf¨¦. The stray cats scuttled away with a look of contempt. Some cats stood their ground and started scratching the wooden floor. They wanted to bury Matcha with all the scrapings.

    Matcha roared again before dashing towards Dust Ball. Dust Ball was taken aback by Matcha¡¯s appearance and escaped to the top of the kitty tower.

    ¡°Meow, everyone¡¯s afraid of me now!¡± Matcha dered. Matcha broke into a giant grin after seeing how all the stray cats, especially Dust Rall, ran for their lives when he gave chase. However, Mango started running towards Matcha, pounced on his body and rubbed its body against Matcha.

    ¡°How dare you, I¡¯m surprised you¡¯re not afraid of me.¡± Matcha bellowed when he realized that Mango wasn¡¯t afraid at all. ¡°Zhao Yao, can you make me look a little more fearsome please.¡±

    As he witnessed the pile of shit jumping up and down in front of him, Zhao Yao shouted, ¡°I can¡¯t make you look even more fearsome. Any more and you¡¯ll explode.¡± Zhao Yao suddenly remembered himself hugging Mango in his arms and was extremely disgusted by him.

    ¡°F*ck, Mango, what do you even do during your free time...¡±

    As Matcha was jumping around, he saw Roly Poly staring straight at him and he arrogantly questioned, ¡°How is it? Don¡¯t I look absolutely OP (overpowered) and cool?¡±

    Roly Poly turned his head away and held back hisughter as he chuckled, ¡°OPOPOP... You really look OP.¡±

    ¡°For real?¡± Matcha¡¯s eyes began to shimmer as he asked for Elizabeth¡¯s opinion. ¡°Elizabeth, how does my new skin look!¡±

    Elizabeth stopped licking herself and evaluated Matcha¡¯s new skin. She gave her most honest opinion on Matcha¡¯s skin. ¡°You look exactly like a piece of sh*t which came out of Mango¡¯s butt.¡±

    She lowered her head as she continued to lick herself. As she has the longest fur among all of Zhao Yao¡¯s cat, Elizabeth spends a lot of time grooming herself on a daily basis to present her most beautiful self to everyone. If she failed to groom herself daily, her fur would easily be dirty and messy.

    Upon hearing Elizabeth¡¯s opinion on his new skin, Matcha hissed, ¡°Tsk! You¡¯re just jealous of my new skin, you fat long-haired cat.¡±

    Elizabethpletely ignored what the pile of sh*t was talking about and continued to lick herself without even lifting her head up.

    Zhao Yao pointed to the cats and told Baiquan, ¡°You see? I¡¯ll give all of the cats in the cat cafe a new skin from now on.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re turning them into piles of shit?¡± Baiquan gasped as he looked at Zhao Yao with disbelief.

    ¡°Are you stupid? Of course not. Instead, I¡¯ll turn them into precious, rare breeds of cats. I¡¯ll give all of them a unique look and I guarantee that the number of customers who visit our cafe would skyrocket because of this.¡±

    Baiquan stared at Zhao Yao¡¯s face and said, ¡°Boss, your face looks a little stiff. It seems like you¡¯re not moving your mouth at all when you¡¯re talking.¡±

    ¡°Hmm? What did you say?¡± Zhao Yao consciously touched his own face and continued, ¡°I guess I have to work on perfecting the illusion. I don¡¯t really follow Kris Wu that much.¡±

    Elizabeth¡¯s illusion works by imnting your imagination into other people¡¯s brains.

    This required the user to imagine things in fine detail; the more details and features the user could imagine, the more realistic the illusion would be.

    Zhao Yao failed terribly in this case. In his mind, Kris Wu was a blurry abstract image and a lot of the details were missed out. They were simply pieces of visual impression that were pieced together to form an incoherent image. Zhao Yao needed to familiarise himself with Kris Wu¡¯s face before he could create a perfect illusion.

    Zhao Yao instructed, ¡°I¡¯ll work on perfecting the skin, you guys prepare some flyers to give out.¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao reactivated his power and in a sh, Roly Poly transformed into a fat-looking bicolor ragdoll cat. Dust Ball transformed into a Scottish Fold while other cats also transformed into a variety of precious breeds such as the Persian, American Shorthair, British Shorthair, and ragdoll.

    The supercats and Baiquan were all astonished by this major transformation.

    Baiquan asked, ¡°What the f*ck? They look like moving RMB notes to me... Boss, why don¡¯t we sell cat knockoffs?¡±

    ¡°You think I never thought of that?¡± Zhao Yao shook his head and continued, ¡°I¡¯m only afraid that people would starting for my head.¡± Soon after the transformation, Zhao Yao began to feel lethargic from using his power for such a long duration.

    He knitted his brows and thought: ¡®Hmm... I guess it takes up a lot of my energy to maintain these illusions at that level of detail. I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to sustain in the long run.¡±

    Roly Poly looked into the mirror and saw a ragdoll staring back at him in the mirror. Surprisingly, Zhao Yao¡¯s illusion ability works in a way that allows them to see their own illusion in the mirror instead of their original self.

    A ragdoll coated with white fur and a patch of darker fur in the middle of its face was staring right at Roly Poly; it looked like it was wearing a mask. The ragdoll had a brown tail which was thick and furry. Roly Poly rolled its tail into a bundle of fur and was intrigued by how bushy it looked.

    He moved his limbs around and turned his face to the side to see how he looked like from the side. Roly Poly looked absolutely sweet and lovable in the mirror. He sighed, ¡°Why am I so cute? Man... Even I wanna f*ck myself now.¡±

    Roly Poly asked Zhao Yao, ¡°Can you turn me into a female cat please?¡±

    ¡°Scram.¡±

    Though the transformation was visually a sess, Zhao Yao felt something strange as his eyes swept past the entire room of cats.

    Zhao Yao picked up Roly Poly, who was now a ragdoll, and stroked his fur and belly. It felt even stranger than before.

    ¡°There is a problem here...¡± Zhao Yao thought to himself. ¡°Visually, I see a ragdoll in my arms but what I feel is Roly Poly¡¯s huge belly. There seems to be some inconsistency between the looks of the cat and the actual feel of the cat.¡±

    ¡°This feeling is exactly the same as seeing a 38D but touching a 32A cup size. It makes you feel disappointed and upset about living in a world of lies.¡±

    Zhao Yao gently ced Roly Poly back on to the floor and stroked his chin as he thought, ¡°I¡¯ll need to do some fine tuning on the details... Yeah, I¡¯ll watch more cat videos and find a way to construct an illusion for the skin of the cat such that they feel consistent with how they look, especially for Roly Poly¡¯s fat belly and Dust Ball¡¯s petite size. I¡¯ll have to feel their body parts in order to construct the most suitable skin for their looks. This is to make sure that there is no inconsistency between the way they look and how they actually feel.¡±

    Zhao Yao continued to think of possibleplications. ¡°But then again, the more details I put into making the illusions, the harder it is to sustain the illusion as it takes up a lot more energy from me.¡± An idea shed past his mind and his eyes lit up as he told Baiquan. ¡°In this case, we will host a Star Cat Night! We will work until 8 pm on that day and transform all the cats into the rare breeds. I bet this would attract a lot of customers.¡±

    Baiquan nodded in agreement. ¡°Right, we are having two days break in two days¡¯ time anyway, why not we have it this Saturday?¡±

    Zhao Yao agreed and instructed, ¡°Sounds great! Prepare the flyers and posters for the night and have it printed by tomorrow morning.¡±

    Baiquan instantly got down to work and started to prepare the flyers. ¡°Heh! I¡¯m pretty sure this would attract loads of university students!¡± Baiquan chuckled at the thought of seeing university girlsing to the store shed passed his mind.

    Zhao Yao looked at the four supercats and frowned as he thought, ¡°It doesn¡¯t seem like the supercats are interested in getting a new skin, with the exception of Matcha of course. I¡¯m worried that they may do a half-hearted job. Furthermore, they are as particr as humans are towards appearance, which means that I¡¯ll have to suit their liking before they even agree to cooperate.¡±

    At the thought of this, Zhao Yao decided to reward the cats by pampering them in order to get them to cooperate with him.

    As Baiquan was busy settling the work assigned to him by Zhao Yao, Zhao Yaopleted the remaining of his daily mission and gathered the supercats for a talk.

    Baiquan wasn¡¯t surprised by the act of Zhao Yao gathering the cats for a talk; he already figured out that the cats had some sort of power after staying with them all this while. He knew that Zhao Yao couldmunicate with the cats somehow.

    Matcha, Elizabeth, Roly Poly and Dust Ballid belly-t on the floor in front of Zhao Yao as he announced, ¡°In a few days time, which is also this Saturday, our cat cafe will be hosting a Star Cats¡¯ Night. On that night, I¡¯ll give all of you, less Elizabeth, a skin which resembles the looks of precious breeds of cats. We will also extend our closing time to 8 pm in the night. This would be a huge stepping stone for our cat cafe. If we seed, I¡¯m sure our reputation would improve tremendously...¡±

    As Zhao Yao spoke halfway, Matcha raised his white paw.

    ¡°Yes, Matcha?¡±

    ¡°I wish to im my dinner reward on Mobile Legends.¡±

    ¡°No, listen closely to what I¡¯m saying. Do you guys know how serious this is?¡±

    ¡°Look at you guys! cking away and doing things your own way; there¡¯s no team spirit in you guys! Let me tell you something. You guys are the least obedient group of cats that I¡¯ve ever raised!¡± Zhao Yao recalled the way he was scolded when he was a kid and used it against them. He cleared his throat and continued, ¡°I know I may sound old-fashioned and naggy but you guys would understand in a few years¡¯ time that this is all for your own good. If you guys do not work hard now, you¡¯ll end up eating sh*t when you grow up. Imagine if you guys actually work hard enough and earn a sum of money for yourselves, you¡¯ll be able to do anything you want in future.¡±

    As he spoke, Matcha raised his paw yet again and asked, ¡°May I go to the toilet?¡±

    ¡°Hold it, don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re nning.¡±

    ¡°Tsk.¡± Matcha threw his phone on the floor.

    Zhao Yao stared at the four cats and said, ¡°Y¡¯all really think I don¡¯t know what you guys have been up to? I see cats hiding in the toilet and ying games while some even steal snacks from our customers. Some of you like to bully other cats and even scratch them, causing them to be injured.¡±

    Zhao Yao gestured to his height and continued, ¡°You dwarfs would never understand. When you¡¯re this tall, you can clearly see every single little action you guys make.¡±

    Dust Ball opened his mouth and yawned as she stretched her entire body.

    ¡°Stretching?! You have the cheek to sleep now, Dust Ball? Do you know who I¡¯m referring to? I¡¯m talking about you! Two weeks into our cafe¡¯s opening and how many stray cats have you bitten? Do you belong to the dog zodiac?¡±

    Dust Ball curled her lips and sulked while sheid t on the floor.

    Elizabeth raised her tender-looking paw and said, ¡°I¡¯m hungry. Can I have some cat rice?¡±

    ¡°My little Elizabeth, please wait for me to finish what I want to say. We¡¯ll eat straight after.¡± Zhao Yao replied. ¡°Remember guys, we need to put our best performance during Star Cats Night. It¡¯s not for my own profit but it¡¯s for your profits. Also, starting from the night, we will open a poll to the customers to vote for the ¡®Star Cat of the Month¡¯. There will be a new nominee every month.¡±

    ¡°You guys may not know but creating illusions like these actually take up a lot of my energy. Therefore, I can¡¯t give you guys a skin every day. ¡± Zhao Yao looked at the uninterested cats and smiled as he continued, ¡°As such, the winner of the title would get a skin in the cafe every day, an extra $500 as prize money and unlimited ess to catmint!¡±

    Upon hearing this, their eyes lit up and they turned their heads to stare at one another. For a moment, their staredown was as intense as a sword-to-swordbat as they brandished their imaginary swords at one another.

    ¡°RMB500?¡± Matcha licked his lips as he schemingly thought to himself: ¡®Hehehe, it¡¯s time to show you guys how cruel thispetition can get.¡±

    Dust Ball eyes flickered with delight. ¡°Unlimited catmint?¡±

    ¡°As long as I¡¯m the star cat of the month, not only do I get the prize money, I¡¯ll get to enjoy the skin from Zhao Yao. I can expect myself to be treated much better than the other cats if I clinch the title.¡± Roly Poly licked his own tummy as he thought to himself secretly. ¡°Sorry guys, the title¡¯s mine.¡±

    ¡°Mmm.¡± Elizabeth stared at the other cats with total contempt as she swayed her long tail. ¡°Weak useless trashes.¡± Elizabeth never once considered the other supercats as herpetition. She thought to herself: ¡®Hmm, where should I spend RMB500 on?¡¯

    Spirit Cat was there to observe all this time. He stared nkly into space, deep in thought. ¡°I had this feeling before but I wasn¡¯t so sure then. This time, it¡¯s confirmed. It must be one of the supercat¡¯s power which allowed Zhao Yao tomunicate with the supercats.¡±

    He sighed, ¡°This man is too scary; he could make the cats turn on each other with just a few words. It almost turned into a bloodbath over here.¡±

    Zhao Yao saw an improvement in their morale levels and nodded in relief, ¡°Alright then! Starting tomorrow, let¡¯s work hard together for our cafe. We will be the king of cafes in Jiangmen City and earn so much that we can never finish spending!¡±

    ¡°Yeah!¡± The supercats eximed in unison.

    ¡°I¡¯ll design a skin for each and every one of you right now. I¡¯ll make sure you guys look so attractive that the customers wouldn¡¯t stoping in. You guys would need to put up a good show.¡±

    ¡°Ok!¡±

    ¡°Roly Poly, you¡¯re first.¡±

    Spirit cat drifted behind Zhao Yao as he observed how Zhao Yao created the illusions. With his own pair of eyes, he saw Roly Poly slowly transforming from an average fat cat into a beautiful Ragdoll. Zhao Yao was watching a video about ragdolls on hisptop and slowly modifying the image of the ragdoll in his mind. As he did so, Roly Poly¡¯s body kept on transforming ordingly.

    The ragdoll had a rtively t headpared to Roly Poly¡¯s. With this in mind, Zhao Yao gently touched Roly Poly¡¯s head and molded the illusion toplement Roly Poly¡¯s round head. Zhao Yao continued to touch Roly Poly with his hand and finely tweaked every part of his body bit by bit. Soon, Roly Poly felt consistent to the touch with his new look.

    ¡°Zhao Yao Zhao Yao, could you draw an eye-line for me? I want to look like the British Shorthair in the video. I feel that humans prefer cats with distinct eye lines.¡±

    ¡°You already have a patch of ck fur spreading out from the center of your face. No one would be able to notice your eye line. I won¡¯t draw it for you.¡±

    ¡°Can you make your stomach smaller? I feel like I can definitely be slimmer.¡±

    ¡°Your tummy is too huge, it would easily expose itself.¡±

    Roly Poly sucked in his stomach as hard as he could and suggested, ¡°You can touch me when I suck in my stomach. Come on, help me make my stomach smaller!¡±

    ¡°Guess I¡¯ve no choice...¡± Zhao Yao took a long piece of cloth and started wrapping Roly Poly¡¯s stomach with it.

    ¡°Suck it in!¡±

    ¡°I am!¡±

    ¡°More!¡±

    ¡°I am but it hurts...¡±

    ¡°A little bit more, hang in there!¡±

    ¡°Meow~¡±

    Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief as he wiped the sweat from his forehead after wrapping Roly Poly¡¯s stomach with the cloth. Fortunately, Roly Poly had long fur and could conceal the cloth underneath its fur. This way, no one would be able to tell that there was actually a piece of cloth wrapped around his belly.

    With the help of Zhao Yao¡¯s illusion, Roly Poly finally transformed from a plump ragdoll into a much leaner ragdoll.

    ¡°Zhao Yao Zhao Yao, you forgot about my eyes.¡± Roly Poly gently wagged his tail back and forth as he blinked seductively at Zhao Yao. ¡°Make my eyes look bigger!¡±

    ¡°You still want to make it bigger? Any bigger and they¡¯ll pop out of their sockets.¡± Zhao Yao responded but still ced his hand on Roly Poly¡¯s head, touched his face and made his eyes look bigger under his illusion.

    As Roly Poly began to look cuter after several rounds of modification and fine tweaking, Spirit cat stared in awe and couldn¡¯t wait to have a try at it.

    The t-faced Shorthair thought to himself, ¡°I always wanted to make my nose look sharper.¡±

    Zhao Yao was finally done with Roly Poly¡¯s skin. He ced Roly Poly on the floor and pped his butt as he said, ¡°We¡¯re done here, you¡¯ll definitely be thedykiller of the night.¡± Roly Poly looked into the mirror and admired himself vainly.

    Matcha was also observing this entire time. He eagerly rushed to Zhao Yao and eximed as he wagged his tail happily, ¡°Zhao Yao Zhao Yao! I want a skin too!¡±

    As Zhao Yao saw the pile of sh*ting straight at him, he removed the illusion on Matcha immediately. But just as Matcha was about to leap into Zhao Yao¡¯s embrace, a ck shadow brushed past Matcha and gave him a kick on his nose as it hopped into Zhao Yao¡¯s arms.

    It was none other than Dust Ball. Matcha rubbed his nose in pain as he pped his tail repeatedly on the floor in frustration.

    ¡°Damn it! Are you nning to destroy my nose? Do you have any idea how expensive a Jiangmen Fold¡¯s nose is? You can¡¯t even afford it if you destroy it, dirty trash.¡±

    Dust Ball ignored Matcha and stared at Zhao Yao with a yearning look. ¡°Zhao Yao Zhao Yao, transform me into something big and fearsome, please! I want to look mighty strong and really menacing. I heard humans, especially girls, like cats like that?¡±

    Zhao Yai curled his lips and asked, ¡°Who said so?¡±

    ¡°I eavesdropped on the conversation between several girls and I heard them say it.¡±

    A crisp feminine voice rang in Zhao Yao¡¯s mind as Dust Ball moved Zhao Yao¡¯sputer mouse and clicked on a video.

    ¡°Look! This cat looks not too bad!¡±

    Zhao Yao watched the video andpared its size with Dust Ball¡¯s petite body as he replied, ¡°Damn it, isn¡¯t this a Siberian Tiger! How can I even transform you into that tiger? Do you want me to give you an armor-ted exoskeleton? There are limitations to my illusion so don¡¯t expect so much from me.¡±

    Dust Ball grumpily curled her lips as she moved the cursor to click on another video. ¡°What about this?¡±

    ¡°This is a lion... If I transform you into this, I¡¯ll really go to jail.¡±

    ¡°This one?¡±

    ¡°You look exactly like it, don¡¯t you? That is a godd*mned bear, who would even dare to step into the cafe?¡± Zhao Yao replied with a sarcastic tone.

    As the animals Dust Ball picked got bigger and bigger, Zhao Yao decided to offer her a suggestion instead and picked a leopard cat.

    ¡°This suits you. It¡¯s a leopard cat.¡±

    ¡°Alright then...¡± Dust Ball agreed unwillingly and threw in a request. ¡°In that case, can I have the Chinese character ¡®Wang¡¯ imprinted on my head as my fur pattern?¡±

    ¡°No way, since when do cats even look like that!¡±

    This time, Dust Ball yelled in anger. ¡°You refuse to do this and that so what can I even do? And now, you even reject my idea of having a ¡®Wang¡¯ Character on my head! I swear I¡¯ll bite you to death!¡±

    As Dust Ball threw a tantrum, Zhao Yao secretly pulled out a piece of catmint and showed it to Dust Ball. As expected, Dust Ball started to drool and roll her eyes about as she whined in Zhao Yao¡¯s embrace, yearning for the catmint.

    Zhao Yao shook his head helplessly as he started to create the skin for Dust Ball. He constantly referred to the leopard cat in the video and ced a lot of emphasis on the details. With a sweep of the hand, Zhao Yao brushed his hand across Dust Ball¡¯s back and Dust Ball¡¯s back was suddenly covered with spotty patterns.

    Zhao Yao used the video as a reference as he continued to make fine modifications to the color and proportion.

    Although Dust Ball was small in size, her body proportion made it easy to create a skin for her. Her size was simr to a young kitten and people could easily misjudge her for an adolescent cat, making her a perfect candidate to take on the form of a young leopard cat.

    After some time, a delicate-looking leopard cat whose size is simr to Dust Ball appeared in Zhao Yao¡¯s arms. It looked like a three-month-old kitten but there was something unique about it; there was a streak of ck fur forming the Chinese character ¡®Wang¡¯ on its forehead which stood out from its golden fur.

    Dust Ball was satisfied with his new intimidating look and nodded happily, ¡°Not bad not bad! Can you make me look taller?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid not. me yourself for being this short.¡± Zhao Yao rejected her request as he had to ensure that there was no contradiction between the way Dust Ball looked and how Dust Ball felt to the touch.

    As Dust Ball stomped away moodily, Matcha jumped on to Zhao Yao¡¯sp and closed his eyes as he asked, ¡°Doc, is the stic surgery painless? Could you put me under full body anesthesia?¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and responded, ¡°Cut your crap.¡±

    ¡°I heard that girls love Lu Han for his pretty looking lips. Can you make me a mouth that looks like Lu Han¡¯s?¡± Matcha requested.

    Zhao Yao pped Matcha on his face and replied, ¡°Shut up.¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked Matcha¡¯s fur and realized that his fur wasn¡¯t as long as Roly Poly¡¯s fur. Roly Poly could pose as a ragdoll but in Matcha¡¯s case, he could only pose as a shorthair.

    Zhao Yao recalled that Matcha could fold his ears and decided to turn him into an orange Scottish Fold.

    He stroked Matcha¡¯s face and molded it with force as he spoke, ¡°Cats with round faces are just so adorable.¡± He continued to stretch Matcha¡¯s face as it became rounder and rounder. However, though his face did be rounder visually, it didn¡¯t feel like it when he tried to touch it.

    Elizabeth¡¯s illusion power could not imitate the sense of touch. Unfortunately, Matcha¡¯s natural face shape was more triangr than it was round. Hence, his face really did not feel like his new round face.

    Matcha seemed discontented with his new looks and tapped on Zhao Yao¡¯s hand as he asked, ¡°Doc, can you make my chin shaper? I heard customers saying that a sharp chin could add ten points to how you look.¡±

    ¡°Sharpen your chin?¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and came to a sudden realization. ¡°Makes sense.¡±

    Zhao Yao walked away and came back with a green beanie in his hands. He tied the beanie around Matcha¡¯s face in an attempt to make his face look rounder. Actually, Zhao Yao bought this beanie for Matcha long ago but Matcha refused to wear it simply because he didn¡¯t like it.

    With the beanie wrapped around his face, Matcha¡¯s face did be wider and rounder. Fortunately, the texture of the beanie felt very simr to Matcha¡¯s fur which makes it perfect for imitation.

    Zhao Yao continued to focus on creating the illusion with great detail. With the help of the beanie, Matcha finally turned into a round-faced cat and there was no contradiction between his looks and how he felt to the touch.

    Matcha looked in the mirror and requested, ¡°Hmm... I want to make my cheekbones look more pronounced. Just stuff in a few pieces of tissue paper into the beanie.¡±

    Zhao Yao pped Matcha¡¯s head and replied, ¡°Stop imitating the customers and speak like a cat.¡±

    However, Zhao Yao still went to retrieve some tissue paper and stuffed them into Matcha¡¯s beanie. He adjusted the beanie and made Matcha¡¯s cheeks look even rounder in order to match his new face.

    ¡°Not too bad Doctor Zhao! I think I look so much cuter now. Let¡¯s take a picture together! I¡¯ll call my sisters over next time.¡± Matcha spoke in front of the mirror.

    ¡°Shut up, didn¡¯t I tell you to stop imitating how people speak?¡±

    Suddenly, a thought shed pass Zhao Yao¡¯s mind. ¡°Does that mean that I can give myself some muscles as well?¡± He recalled the muscle armor used by one of the Masters at Xiao Ming¡¯s house and figured that he could give himself a muscle armor through his illusion too.

    Zhao Yao started to work on Matcha¡¯s ears. He snipped off two corners of the beanie and pulled his ears out of the holes.

    ¡°I¡¯ll fold the ears and remember how they are folded. In future, I¡¯ll fold them the same way toplement the illusion.¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°Everyone in the George family is born a Scottish Fold. My ears will always fold the same way today or tomorrow.¡±

    Zhao Yaopletely ignored the nonsense that came out of Matcha¡¯s mouth and pulled his ears with force. Matcha yelled in pain, ¡°Ah ahh ahhh!! Be gentle, please! Ah ahhh! It¡¯s about to snap, my poor ear is about to break off!¡±

    ¡°Then you better fold your ears properly.¡±

    Zhao Yao continued to touch Matcha¡¯s ears as he attempted to make them look shorter. With one sweep of Zhao Yao¡¯s hand, Matcha¡¯s orange fur looked thicker and longer.

    Spirit cat was there to observe Matcha¡¯s gradual transformation and was green with envy. ¡°What a convenient power. To be frank, I¡¯m getting sick of my color. I suppose his powers can give me a change of color? I think I¡¯ll look dashing if I had silver fur.¡±

    Zhao Yao was finally finished with Matcha¡¯s new skin and said, ¡°Alright, we¡¯re done here. Open your eyes and have a look at yourself.¡±

    Matcha went towards the mirror and looked at himself. He had turned into an adorable orange Scottish Fold.

    However, Matcha seemed unsatisfied as hemented, ¡°Why don¡¯t I have wings? Poorly done...¡±

    Zhao Yao pped Matcha on the head and replied, ¡°Dream on.¡±

    Zhao Yao continued to create illusions for all the cats in the cafe all the way till 3 am in the morning. By the time he was done, Matcha was already hugging his phone to sleep.

    Every cat in the cafe had their very own illusions with the exception of Elizabeth who was already adorable enough. However, he could only sustain all those illusions for a short period of time and deactivated them shortly after.

    ¡°So troublesome... The number of details that I have to picture in my mind and the time I need to sustain all these illusions. Even with my powers, it is very tiring.¡± Zhao Yao thought to himself. His brain waspletely exhausted from all that imagination.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s guess was right. He definitely could not sustain long enough to give every single cat a skin every day. He figured that he could only sustain the illusions for a day at most before he reached his limits.

    Zhao Yao yawned and unknowingly dozed off on the table.

    The cat cafe continued to operate its business as per usual for the next two days. This time, there was a poster outside the cafe which advertised the uing Star Cats¡¯ Night. It was advertised that there would be a group of special catsing into the cat cafe on Saturday night and that business hours would extend till 8 pm in the night.

    Xiao Shu Yu asked Zhao Yao out of curiosity, ¡°How do you n to get so many different types of cats? Do you need me to call Uncle Ho for help? I reckon he could lend us some help.¡±

    ¡°Save the trouble.¡± Zhao Yao smiled mysteriously to himself. ¡°Oh right, pass these flyers to the two rascals when theye back and get them to distribute.¡±

    Shi Yu read the contents of the flyer and was surprised to see pictures of Ragdolls, Leopard Cats, and Siamese Cats printed on it. She became even more curious and wondered how Zhao Yao managed to get hold of these cats.

    Ever since she got herself involved with supercats, Xiao Shi Yu had spent some time researching on different breeds of cats.

    The cats featured on the poster were all exquisite breeds; it wasn¡¯t going to be easy to borrow them for a night, let alone buy them.

    Tianhe Royal Court, 42nd Mansion

    Ho Hao Cang sat on the sofa as he closed his eyes and took in deep breaths.

    A white Persian with a pair of mandarin eyesid quietly in Hao Cang¡¯s arms as it used its paws to press on Hao Cang¡¯s phone disy.

    Hao Cang seemed to notice some movement and opened his eyes to see what was going on. He looked at the Persian and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Ares?¡±

    Ares typed on the phone.

    ¡®Can we go out for a walk? I¡¯m getting bored of staying in the house.¡¯

    Hao Cang had always doted on Ares. He replied as he stroked Ares¡¯s head, ¡°It¡¯s way too dangerous for you guys to go outside. It¡¯s best to stay at home.¡±

    ¡°Then why did Nekomata go out?¡±

    Ho Hao Cang frowned and responded in a slightly irritated tone, ¡°Nekomata simply refused to listen. Why do you ask? Do you want to be like Nekomata?¡±

    ¡°In that case, can I have aptop or a mobile phone?¡±

    Hao Cang answered, ¡°Why would you ask for a phone now?¡±

    Ares exined, ¡°I heard from the helpers that there are lots of things on the inte. I would love to have a look.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t listen to them. There are lots of nasty things on the web and they will only be a bad influence on you. Ares, you just have to stay at home obediently, I¡¯ll be here to protect you.¡±

    Just as Ho Hao Cang and Ares were in the midst of a conversation, a teenaged boy with rainbow-dyed hair and an introverted middle-aged man wearing ck frame sses appeared in front of Ho Hao Cang.

    The two of them treated Hao Cang with utmost respect; they stood in front of him like a servant waiting for their master to acknowledge their presence.

    They were once rescued by Hao Cang from a group of strong men. After witnessing how formidable and impressive Hao Cang¡¯s skills were, they highly respected Hao Cang ever since and couldn¡¯t help but feel indebted to him.

    Ho Hao Cang nced at the two of them and spoke, ¡°I assume you guys were already informed beforehand.¡±

    Bully nodded his head and giggled, ¡°Rest assured, Master Ho. Hehe... We will show that kid just how strong we are.¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t tell you to hurt him right away.¡± Ho Hao Cang curled his lips and snapped. ¡°If he is cooperative, bring him over to our mansion. But if he retaliates, snatch the cats from him ande back immediately. Understand?¡±

    The supercats were his top priority. As long as the other party had possession of the supercats, it meant that he still owned their powers. It might be difficult to find apostles but to Ho Hao Cang, it wasn¡¯t a problem at all.

    He might have lost a total of four apostles so far but he still had possession of the supercats who granted them their powers. Even now, he was still able to summon the two guys in front of him to do his bidding.

    As the two of them turned around to leave, Ho Hao Cang picked up a phone call. His face changedpletely as he frowned.

    He hung up on the phone and instructed, ¡°Hold on you two. Don¡¯t go first.¡±

    Just half an hour ago, a series of explosions blew up a cruise ship which was sailing on the eastern sea of Jiangmen City. It had been spected that it was the doing of foreign apostles.

    Such destruction caused by foreign parties could have possibly led to international disputes. The tension was building up on the domestic side and in response, the incident was immediately reported to the higher-ups.

    Martialw had been imposed on Jiangmen City as it entered a ¡®high-alert¡¯ state and exercised strict management towards incidents regarding the apostles.

    Hao Cang¡¯s family called him to dissuade him from doing anything rash. They wanted him to stay low for the time being in order to stay out of trouble; it would be foolish and irresponsible of him if he chose to stir up trouble.

    He sighed as he leaned back on his sofa, ¡°Pfft, lucky him.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s wait for the suspension of martialw.¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao had been making preparations for the uing Star Cats¡¯ Night.

    Besides distributing flyers, Zhao Yao even went to the extent of informing every customer who entered the cafe personally.

    As the illusion only took effect within the cafe, it would result inplications if someone took a photo inside the cafe and brought it out. Hence, Zhao Yao deliberately hung a ¡®No Photography¡¯ sign outside the cafe and reminded Baiquan and Xiao Shi Yu to keep a lookout.

    If someone still decided to take a photo, it would leave him no choice but to use his illusion power to steal his phone away and delete the photo.

    He couldn¡¯t take the risk of someone realizing that the photo was different from how the cats looked like in the cafe.

    After having their lunch, An Xin brought Yan Xiao Qing along and rushed towards the cat cafe.

    Ever since she visited the cat cafe, An Xin was even more eager than Yan Xiao Qing to visit the cafe again.

    Yan Xiao Qing yawned, tired from ying yerUnknown¡¯s Battlegrounds all night. Although she had been visiting the cafe frequently, Xiao Qing still felt a little lethargic from staying up thatte.

    ¡°An Xin, I thought you were about to use up your living expenses. How could you still afford toe to the cafe?¡±

    An Xin was petite in size and looked simply adorable; for a moment, An Xin looked exactly like Yan Xiao Qing¡¯s younger sister.

    An Xin turned her head around to look at Yan Xiao Qing and med her, ¡°It¡¯s all your fault! You told me from the start that you don¡¯t really spend that much in the cafe. Now my whole family thinks I¡¯m taking drugs...¡±

    Yan Xiao Qing stuck out her tongue and replied, ¡°How did you even get money to visit the cafe?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve been teaching tuition for the past two weeks!¡± An Xin gestured to the book on her hand and continued, ¡°I feel that the cat cafe is a very conducive environment for me to do my revision. I n to teach tuition every week from now on and use that money to visit the cat cafe. You know, I might even have a chance to get the schrship this semester!¡±

    ¡°Is it?¡± Stunned by what An Xin just said, Yan Xiao Qing thought to herself. ¡°After visiting the cat cafe, I only find myself spending more time on games and dramas...¡±

    For a moment, An Xin gave the vibe of a Straight A student. Yan Xiao Qing had been cking all this while and she could feel herself being outshone by An Xin. She felt really lousy about herself and mumbled under her breath, ¡°As long as you¡¯re happy...¡±

    As soon as they arrived at the cafe, they could see a huge poster on the front door.

    The poster was advertising the uing Star Cats¡¯ Night. Yan Xiao Qing¡¯s eyes instantly lit up. ¡°Wow, so many adorable cats!! Ragdolls, Exotic Shorthair, Scottish Fold, Leopard Cat, British Shorthair, American Shorthair and Chinchi...¡± She almost drooled from seeing all the different types of exquisite breeds.

    ¡°Hey An Xin, the Star Cats¡¯ Night is tomorrow. Why not we go back today ande again tomorrow?¡±

    An Xin knitted her eyebrows in disagreement and gazed in the direction of the cafe. It seemed like a group of university girls were surrounding a guy who was sitting in the cafe.

    She asked, ¡°Who is that? Why are there so many people surrounding him?¡±

    She entered the cafe and instantly felt the soothing effects of celestial beats. She gasped in surprise when she saw the person who was surrounded by the girls.

    An Xin stared in the direction of Zhao Yao and covered her mouth with her hands as she eximed in disbelief, ¡°Kris Wu??¡±

    Yan Xiao Qing took a look at the person as well but questioned, ¡°Who is Kris Wu?¡±

    ¡°Are you serious? You don¡¯t know who Kris Wu is?¡± An Xin dragged Xiao Qing along as she continued, ¡°Let¡¯s go! I want to get his autograph!¡±

    Being surrounded by a dozen of university girls, Zhao Yao waved his hand about and kept on repeating, ¡°I¡¯m not Kris Wu!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m just handsome and good looking.¡±

    ¡°No, I don¡¯t n to date anyone as of now.¡±

    ¡°Sorry, no photography in the cafe.¡±

    The illusion worked by manipting one¡¯s senses to see what Zhao Yao created with his imagination. However, this also meant that it could not change whatever that was recorded in cameras. Once they leave the cafe, the truth would be exposed as the photograph would not tally with the illusion created by Zhao Yao. Hence, Zhao Yao naturally didn¡¯t want this to happen and banned photography within the cafe premises.

    Zhao Yao felt great about himself after being surrounded by all these university girls. Despite his many attempts to convince them that he wasn¡¯t Kris Wu, the girls still stayed in the cafe and kept on talking to him.

    This was the first time Zhao Yao ever felt so popr in his life.

    ¡°Damn it, is this how handsome people live? How lucky.¡± As the beautiful girls put on their sweetest-looking smiles and tried to strike a conversation with him, it suddenly felt like the world was such a wonderful ce to live in.

    ¡°It feels like I¡¯m back to my younger days. I can even feel the blood coursing through my veins.¡±

    Meanwhile, Matcha, Roly Poly, and Dust Ball sat together on the kitty tower as they leaned against the wall. It was a rare sight. They nced at the most popr living creature in the cafe from the corner of their eyes.

    ¡°Zhao Yao seems a little arrogant, don¡¯t you guys think?¡± Matchamented. ¡°Look at him! He¡¯s smiling so much that I can barely even see his eyes.¡±

    ¡°And he still told us that it was tiring to sustain the skins... Look at what he¡¯s doing for himself.¡± Roly Polymented. ¡°He¡¯s having the time of his life.¡±

    ¡°Are these girls stupid or what?¡± Dust Ball squinted her eyes and stared at Zhao Yao. ¡°What¡¯s the difference between Zhao Yao then and now? He didn¡¯t even change his fur color. Why would they be so mesmerized by him?¡±

    ¡°These two cats are so shallow...¡± Elizabeth thought to herself as she licked her paw.

    An Xin appeared in front of Zhao Yao and asked politely, ¡°Hi, can I have your autograph please?¡±

    She blushed as she stared at Zhao Yao with a bashful look. Zhao Yao felt even better about himself and responded, ¡°I think you must have mistaken me for someone else. I¡¯m not Kris Wu, I¡¯m just as handsome as him.¡±

    ¡°Ah.¡± An Xin uttered in disbelief. ¡°But you look too alike...¡±

    A random girl popped out of nowhere and asked, ¡°Do you study nearby?¡±

    ¡°How old are you?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±

    ¡°Can you add me on WeChat please?¡±

    An Xin was quickly pushed away by all the other girls because of her petite size. She hugged Mango and sighed, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with them? Why are they getting so pushy all of a sudden?¡±

    As she hugged Mango, she frowned and asked Xiao Qing, ¡°Is it me or does this cat smell slightly stinky?¡±

    ¡°It does?¡±

    Because of Zhao Yao¡¯s transformation into Kris Wu, the number of customers who visited the cafe increased tremendously with most of them being university girls. Some of them peeped into the cafe from outside the door; they probably heard the news from their other schoolmates.

    Within a mere few hours, the number of customers in the cafe exceeded 50 customers. As expected, all of them were young women.

    As he continued to receive attention from the girls, the cafe¡¯s profits increased significantly and Zhao Yao was happier than ever.

    ¡°Remember toe over to the cafe tomorrow as well girls! The cafe will be hosting the Star Cats¡¯ Night and there¡¯ll be plenty of adorable exotic cats.¡± Zhao Yao bid the girls goodbye as he waved his hand.

    Zhao Yao turned around and saw Xiao Shi Yu standing right behind him, staring at him with a look of disdain.

    ¡°You have the power to transform?¡±

    Zhao Yao faked augh and stroked his head, ¡°Haha yeah... How is it? I really look like the real deal, don¡¯t I?¡±

    Xiao Shi Yu had been observing Zhao Yao the entire day. She curled her lips and asked, ¡°Are you that happy?¡±

    Zhao Yao responded sheepishly, ¡°Is it that obvious?¡±

    ¡°Your face spells happiness. Is that obvious enough for you?¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Zhao Yao immediately exined. ¡°I¡¯ve never once spoken to so many girls since I was young. It¡¯s natural for me to feel slightly excited about it, don¡¯t you agree? It¡¯s a man¡¯s instinct.¡±

    She fired another question at Zhao Yao. ¡°So are you going to transform to the same face every day?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked into the mirror and replied, ¡°I¡¯ll imitate Kris Wu for now. Maybe next time I¡¯ll change into Daniel Wu, Li Yifeng, Lu Han or anyone who is popr. Next time, the cats could also transform into different breeds as well.¡± All these efforts made by Zhao Yao were solely for maximising the cafe¡¯s profits and increasing the number of experience points he could gain at the end of the month.

    Upon hearing what Zhao Yao said, Xiao Shi Yu¡¯s eyes lit up as she came up with an idea.

    ¡°Does that mean you can transform people as well?¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡±

    ¡°In that case, can you transform me as well?¡±

    ¡°I guess so...¡± Zhao Yao hesitated for a bit before replying.

    Her eyes widened in excitement. Shi Yu pointed at her eyes and requested, ¡°In that case, can I have luscious lips that look like Ang Baby? I would also like to have inner double eyelids and a slimmer face please!¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed and responded, ¡°They are all fake and they¡¯ll be all gone once you leave the cafe. Besides, you already look pretty enough.¡±

    ¡°Come on, everything¡¯s fake! Make-up, photo filters, you name it!¡± Xiao Shi Yu eximed. ¡°There¡¯s no limit to beauty. Help me out!¡±

    Zhao Yao simplyughed and quickly dragged Baiquan and the supercats out of the cafe.

    They got on the Panamera with Baiquan on the driver seat. Baiquan hesitated to ask Zhao Yao a question but did so anyway. ¡°Boss, you really aren¡¯t going to help Xiao Shi Yu? She may look even prettier and attract more guys into our cat cafe!¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°You still have a crush on Xiao Shi Yu?¡±

    Baiquan immediately lowered his head as his cheek turned red and answered, ¡°Not really...¡±

    ¡°Look at yourself. You obviously don¡¯t understand women.¡± Zhao Yao spoke in a know-it-all tone and acted like a person who had a lot of experience with women. He continued, ¡°Women always find ways to make themselves look prettier. There¡¯s no limit in the pursuit of beauty. They can even spend a couple of hours dolling up their character in video games. If I agree to help her, who knows how long I¡¯ll spend to satisfy her looks? I might even spend an entire night trying to satisfy her and still not meet her standards. I just want to go home, yputer games and sleep.¡±

    Baiquan nodded in reply but felt that there was something wrong with what Zhao Yao said.

    As soon as they got home, Baiquan prepared dinner and did all the housework afterward. Meanwhile, the four cats were busy doing their own things and Zhao Yao was just lying on the sofa as he waited for dinner to be ready.

    ¡°Dinner is ready.¡±

    Immediately, the three cats, Matcha, Elizabeth and Dust Ball, rushed towards Baiquan at the speed of light and gobbled down their food swiftly.

    As the three cats indulged in their scrumptious food, Roly Poly slowly picked himself up and strolled towards his bowl of food. Until today, he still hadn¡¯t got used to the food.

    Once Roly Poly began to dig in, Zhao Yaoid down on his sofa and nned to spend some time ying games and surfing the.

    He opened the WeChat app and browsed through the friends¡¯ groups. As usual, the chat groups were filled with casual conversations with some of them talking about how their day went and others sharing their vacation photos.

    Suddenly, he saw a personal message left by his mother and raised an eyebrow.

    Zhao Yao recalled taking a picture of himself driving his Panamera.

    Dancing Queen: My son, I heard from our neighbor Xiao Li that you¡¯re really rich now? Is that true? He told me that you earn tens of millions a year! I assume you are not doing anything illegal right? This car is expensive, isn¡¯t it? Don¡¯t go about spending all your money now that you have it! When are youing back?

    Zhao Yao knew his mother¡¯s personality best. Beads of sweat began to drip down his forehead.

    ¡°This punk Xiao Li... I was just talking about it casually and he actually spread the news everywhere.¡± Zhao Yao sneered. Ever since he got himself involved with supercats, his life underwent aplete change and he was busy all the time. He didn¡¯t have the chance to tell his parents about it.

    ¡°Yeah, once I get my experience points and settle everything by the end of the month, I think it¡¯s time to visit my parents. Before that, I¡¯ll have to deal with Ho Hao Cang too...¡±

    Zhao Yao quickly browsed through the remaining of the friends¡¯ group and went on to check on the supercats¡¯ chat group for thetest updates.

    Coincidentally, an ID named ¡®Glowing Catgirl¡¯ was typing a message.

    ¡°I have a friend whose power is illumination. Anyone knows how you can earn money from the power of illumination?¡±

    ¡°Hahahaha. Illumination?¡± Leopard Head mocked. ¡°Isn¡¯t that a useless power? Whose silly power is that?¡±

    Meow Gibson asked, ¡°How bright? How long can itst? Where is the light emitted from?¡±

    Glowing Catgirl: Its entire body can glow. The brightness is close to a normal light bulb¡¯s brightness.

    Leopard Head: Hahahaha! Doesn¡¯t that mean that he¡¯s just a big light bulb? Your friend¡¯s really unlucky.

    Just then, Godly God suddenly sent a message.

    ¡°Alert! 15 foods that you can never eat with cat food!¡±

    Godly God: Take a look at this guys! Don¡¯t fall for this! The Dragon Li who lives beside my house has been mixing coke with cat food. Now she¡¯s peeing blood.

    Meow Gibson: @everyone please take a look at this. This is important info.

    Meow Gibson: How old is the Dragon Li?

    Godly God: About 3 years old. Its kitten is only a month old. What a disaster...

    No.1 Dried Fish Fan: Nowadays, there are many problems associated with cat food. I think it¡¯s best to stick to fresh meat.

    Godly God: But not every cat can eat meat. When ites to cat food, pick brands like Now, Go!, FROMM, and orjien. They taste pretty good to me.

    Omnipresent: Have you guys heard of it? A cruise ship just exploded off the coast of Jiangmen Sea. Some say that foreign apostles and supercats have arrived.

    Omnipresent¡¯s message attracted Zhao Yao¡¯s attention. However, most of the cats in the group didn¡¯t seem to care about it at all and continued their discussion on cat food.

    No.1 Dried Fish Fan: Bone-in meat is the best! They provide all-rounded nutrition for us.

    Godly God: That may be true but they may contain parasites as well. Undercooked meat products could also possibly lead toplications. Cat food is engineered to cater to our nutritional needs and it¡¯s the safest to eat!

    No.1 Dried Fish Fan: We can use ultra-low temperature technology to kill bacteria!

    Godly God: And what about transportation? It¡¯s not feasible at all! And like I said, cat food can provide the nutrients which fresh meat provides as well.

    No.1 Dried Fish Fan: You don¡¯t even know what kind of meat cat food is made of! They are all made of bad quality meat,pletely unsafe!

    Meow Gibson, Omnipresent and Leopard Head continued to join in the debate over cat food.

    Zhao Yao read on for a while more and went to do his own things soon after.

    He sat on the chair, turned on hisptop and smiled to himself. ¡°Time for some Chicken Dinner.¡±

    yerUnknown¡¯s Battlegrounds had been getting more and more popr recently with an increasing yer base. Nowadays, even gaming streaming websites werepeting to stream yerUnknown¡¯s Battlegrounds online.

    Every day, Zhao Yao would y at least two games of yerUnknown¡¯s Battlegrounds in an attempt to obtain Chicken Dinner. But just as he was about to run the game, Matcha appeared out of nowhere on hisp like a spirit.

    Matcha pitifully begged, ¡°Zhao Yao, can I have a shot at Chicken Dinner, please?¡±

    ¡°No, go get yourself aputer if you wanna y.¡±

    ¡°Pfft, what a *sshole.¡± Matcha thought to himself but continued to stay on Zhao Yao¡¯sp to watch him y the game despite being rejected. As Zhao Yaonded the parachute and killed someone with a headshot punch immediately without even picking up a weapon, Matcha eximed, ¡°666!¡±

    Meanwhile, Elizabeth opened her drama application and continued to watch ¡°Autumn in my Heart¡±.

    Yesterday night, Elizabeth bawled her eyes out as she finished watching ¡°1 Liter of Tears¡±. She decided to watch ¡°Autumn in my Heart¡± to lighten up her mood after a tragic drama series.

    Before she began her drama watching spree, she couldn¡¯t help but ask Zhao Yao, ¡°Zhao Yao, is ¡°Autumn in my Heart¡± a tragic show? Will it be as sad as ¡°1 Liter of Tears¡±? ¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a romanticedy show.¡± Zhao Yao responded. ¡°There¡¯s a big reunion at the end of the drama. The bad guys are all dead and both the male and female leads live happily ever after.¡±

    ¡°For real?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, watch and you¡¯ll know!¡±

    Spirit cat drifted behind Elizabeth and watched ¡°Autumn in my Heart¡± together with Elizabeth. However, he seemed to doubt what Zhao Yao just said as he stared at the phone disy. ¡°Why do I feel like this Zhao Yao isn¡¯t trustable?¡±

    ¡°I shall see if ¡°Autumn in my Heart¡± is as he described.¡±

    The next morning, Zhao Yao was awoken by a bone-chilling scream.

    He rubbed his eyes as he walked out of his bedroom and saw Elizabeth shrieking in horror in front of a mirror.

    Elizabeth suddenly lost all her thick fur and was left with an empty patch on her head.

    Basically, Elizabeth was bald...

    She screamed at the top of her lungs, ¡°Who did this?!¡±

 Chapter 126: Shaven Head

    <h4>Chapter 126: Shaven Head</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Elizabeth¡¯s tragic cry reverberated in Zhao Yao¡¯s head.

    ¡°Who?¡±

    ¡°Who did this?!¡± Elizabeth growled. ¡°Who shaved off my hair?¡±

    Zhao Yao stood behind Elizabeth and bent down to stroke her head. He could clearly see the shaven patch of fur, leaving behind ayer of very fine fur.

    Right at this moment, Roly Poly yawned as he climbed out of his bed. Surprisingly, there was also a shaven bald patch on his head, exposing ayer of ck scalp.

    ¡°What happened?¡± Roly Poly nced over at Elizabeth and touched his own head. ¡°Why does it feel so windy today?¡±

    Dust Ball did azy cat stretch as she got out of bed as well. Zhao Yao was stunned to see that Dust Ball¡¯s head was shaven as well.

    For a moment, the three cats with their shaven heads looked exactly like three middle-aged people suffering from hair loss problems.

    It was fair to note that fur itself ounts for more than half of the cat¡¯s appearance. Once their fur was shaven, it would be akin to a female celebrity without her make-up.

    Roly Poly and Dust Ball joined Elizabeth in her tragic cries as they stood in front of the mirror and stared in disbelief at their shaven heads.

    Just then, Matcha was yawning and dragging his tail on the floor as he strolled out of his bedroom.

    Surprisingly, he was the only cat whose head wasn¡¯t shaven. He immediately burst intoughter and mocked, ¡± Hahahaha! You guys... Hahahahaha... You guys look absolutely ugly!¡±

    Seeing how Matcha reacted to their shaven heads with his fur still intact, Elizabeth, Roly Poly and Dust Ball gave Matcha a death stare; their dark eyes radiated with vengeance and killing intent.

    ¡°It must be your doing, silly cat!¡± Elizabeth¡¯s eyes were burning with wrath but with her shaven head, she didn¡¯t look intimidating at all.

    Matcha¡¯s smile evaporated from his face as he rolled his eyes and rebutted confidently, ¡°Ah? Who said I did it? Do you have any proof? Do you have any evidence that proves it was the doing of George Matcha?¡±

    Matcha¡¯s body blinked and in a sh, he was standing beside Elizabeth as he stroked her shaven head with his paw. He continued to rub it in, ¡°The world revolves around evidence. Look,dy, don¡¯t jump to conclusions without evidence to support your im. I can sue you for defamation, you know? You may speak to mywyer afterward if you wish.¡±

    Meanwhile, Matcha thought to himself gleefully, ¡°With their shaven heads, their face score is at least 30 points lower than me! The Star Cat Award definitely belongs to me!¡±

    ¡°You guys only have yourselves to me for being that careless. This is the reality ofpetition. It is cruel. In order to achieve my goals, I, George Matcha, will do whatever it takes to attain it...¡±

    ¡°Scum cat!¡± Elizabeth gave Matcha a p on his face.

    ¡°You little f*ck...¡±

    ¡°Screw yourself.¡±

    As time freeze was still on cooldown, Elizabeth delivered another p to Matcha¡¯s mouth.

    ¡°Hey stop it! One more time and I¡¯ll call the police.¡±

    ¡°Call the police?¡± Elizabeth sent her paw flying towards Matcha for another p and pounced right on him. She bit down hard on the back of his neck.

    The natural instinct of a cat was to bite down on the enemy¡¯s neck. Whenever cats fought each other, they would always aim to bite their opponent¡¯s neck. Once they were bitten on the back of their neck, most cats would instinctively stop resisting; it was a habit taught from young by their mothers.

    Upon being bitten, Matcha¡¯s body froze and immediately started to scream in terror. ¡°It¡¯s a murder! She is a murderer!¡±

    ¡°You want to be the star cat?¡± Elizabeth continued to bite on Matcha¡¯s neck while she threw a flurry of punches on his head.

    ¡°You really think you can seed with a girly face like yours?¡±

    *SHING!* Five razor-sharp ws sprung out of Elizabeth¡¯s paw and grazed past Matcha¡¯s face. ¡°Let¡¯s see how you can be the star cat with this face now!¡±

    Fortunately, time freeze just went off cooldown and Matcha instantly disappeared into thin air in front of Elizabeth¡¯s eyes. Momentster, he was seen hiding behind Zhao Yao who was a few meters away.

    ¡°Zhao Yao Zhao Yao!¡± Matcha tugged on Zhao Yao¡¯s leg and cried for help. ¡°Elizabeth is going to kill me! Send back up! Protect little Matcha now!¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and grabbed Matcha off the ground. He said, ¡°You must have used time freeze to shave off their heads while they were sleeping yesterday night. Right?¡±

    ¡°It wasn¡¯t me! How could it be me?!¡± Matcha stared at Zhao Yao with a pair of innocent eyes. ¡°It could be some crazy supercat who barged into our house yesterday night and shaved off their heads!¡±

    ¡°Only a fool would believe you!¡± Zhao Yao threw Matcha back to Elizabeth, Roly Poly and Dust Ball who were lying in wait. It was followed by relentless screaming as the three supercats sought their revenge on Matcha. It was aplete havoc as orange fur was seen drifting about in the room.

    With their heads shaven off, the cats would not feel the same as how they look with their skins.

    Zhao Yao thought about this and found himself a knitted soft toy. He bought this soft toy for Matcha when he was raising him alone; he didn¡¯t want Matcha to be lonely.

    Zhao Yao proceeded to snip off all the fur on the soft toy. He went to take a look at Matcha, who was lying t on the floor like a dead cat. Matcha was surrounded by ayer of thin orange fur around him.

    Zhao Yao coughed and announced, ¡°Alright alright, don¡¯t overdo it and kill him. We still have to work today.¡±

    Zhao Yao ced a patch of fur which belonged to the soft toy on Roly Poly¡¯s head. Roly Poly nced at it and said, ¡°This won¡¯t work, it¡¯s way too sparse!¡±

    ¡°I guess it beats having nothing on your head.¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin and continued, ¡°Tonight¡¯s the night, we don¡¯t have much time. Let¡¯s just stick to this for now.¡± He proceeded to attach a few extra strands of fur onto Roly Poly¡¯s head.

    He moved on to Dust Ball after settling Roly Poly¡¯s fur. Dust Ball belonged to the Shorthair breed, hence her fur felt simr to the fur of the soft toy.

    Elizabeth, however, was a tricky one. She had much longer hair than all the other cats. Coupled with her bigger head, her bald patch seemed to stand out more than the other cats.

    ¡°This...¡± Zhao Yao frowned as hepared Elizabeth¡¯s fur with the fur of the soft toy.

    ¡°The fur isn¡¯t enough, right? It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ll think of a solution.¡± Elizabeth cooly replied and proceeded to use her paw and leg to press down on Matcha. Meanwhile, she lowered her head and bit down hard on Matcha¡¯s head fur.

    *rip sound*

    It was like the sound of paper tearing as Elizabeth ripped off a patch of fur off Matcha¡¯s head.

    ¡°Meow!¡± Matcha cried in pain. ¡°It¡¯s bleeding! It¡¯s bleeding! Stop!¡±

    ¡°He has to wear the green beanie anyway so it doesn¡¯t matter if he has fur or not.¡± Elizabeth spat a patch of slightly bloodied fur onto Zhao Yao¡¯s hand and asked, ¡°Will this do?¡±

    Zhao Yao was stunned as he stared at the patch of fur which came out of Elizabeth¡¯s mouth. He curled his lips and said, ¡°Enough.¡±

    As Elizabeth released her paws from Matcha, Matcha instantly made an escape and bolted towards the mirror. He stood up in front of the mirror and attempted to stroke his head with his paws but to no avail. Matcha lookedpletely devastated as he stared at the bald patch on his scalp.

    Spirit cat witnessed the entire incident and was terrified of what he just saw. His eyes kept on switching between Elizabeth and Matcha.

    ¡°This is insane, really insane. Why are the cats in this house so cruel and evil?¡±

    Roly Poly and Dust Ball were simrly amazed by what they saw. Roly Poly worshipped Elizabeth while Dust Ball secretly rejoiced over Matcha¡¯s bald spot.

    Roly Poly thought to himself secretly, ¡°Thisdy is really scary when she¡¯s mad.¡±

    Ten minutester...

    ¡°Alright, we are done!¡± Elizabeth and Dust Ball both had their new fur pasted onto them. Meanwhile, Roly Poly¡¯s belly was already wrapped in a roll of wool and Matcha was wearing a green beanie. Zhao Yao nodded his head and announced, ¡°Let¡¯s go to the cafe! Remember, today¡¯s performance will determine if we get to continue eating proper food or sh*t from now on. So do your best and please our customers!¡±

    ...

    It was evening time. There was a middle-aged man with a stern look on his face standing outside the mall. He was wearing a tuxedo and seemed like he was searching for something.

    He stopped ady who walked past him and asked, ¡°Hi, may I know where is the mysterious cat cafe?¡±

    ¡°Oh, that cat cafe. It¡¯s over there...¡±

    The middle-aged man walked towards the direction which thedy pointed to. He was anxious and hesitant to visit the cafe.

    His name was Tian Jian. In order to support his family, he became a workaholic. He worked every day from day to night and worked overtime to earn extra cash. Sometimes, he even worked during public holidays.

    Two years ago, Tian Jian¡¯s wife became a full-time housewife so that he could focus on working. She took care of all the household chores and his well-being.

    They loved each other and shared a healthy rtionship through mutual cooperation.

    However, Tian Jian noticed that his wife had been going out every day recently. The clothes would remain unwashed and the floor would be covered with ayer of dust. Sometimes, on the rare asion that he came back home early from work, there would be no one at home and dinner wasn¡¯t even prepared for him.

    These were clear indications that his wife had been out of home all the time. ording to the security guard outside, his wife had been heading to the small town after lunch every day and would onlye back after dinner time.

    ¡°She still had the cheek to tell me that she did not have enough allowance.¡±

    ¡°So much for going to the cat cafe to drink coffee...¡±

    Tian Jian recalled the exnation given by his wife and couldn¡¯t help but feel a little jittery.

    He simply didn¡¯t believe that a trip to the cat cafe could be so enjoyable that his wife would visit it every single day. Besides, his wife seemed to be spending much more than she usually did.

    ¡°Could it be...¡± At the thought of such a possibility, Tian Jian felt even worse than before and feared for the worst.

    This morning, he asked his wife if she was heading to the cat cafe yet again. Upon hearing that she was indeed going to the cafe again, he took a day off from work and decided to sneakily follow his wife into the cafe to see what she had been up to. Tian Jian wanted to know exactly why his wife hadn¡¯t been staying at home these days.

    However, he wasn¡¯t a professional in trailing someone and it didn¡¯t take long before he lost sight of his wife. Fortunately, he did take down the name of the cat cafe and could ask around for directions.

    As he stood outside the cafe, he was greeted by a sight which left him in shock. The small little cafe was fully seated with a total of sixty girls and a few guys. All of them were either hugging the cats, teasing them or feeding them.

    The cats in the cafe all had unique appearances. Tian Jian had never raised a pet and cared too much about pets. Hence, he naturally couldn¡¯t differentiate between different cat breeds. However, he could easily tell that the cats in the cafe were a lot different than the ones that roamed the streets.

    ¡°Is this cat cafe really that popr?¡± Tian Jian frowned as he searched for his wife in the midst of the crowd.

    It wasn¡¯t long before he saw his wife sitting on the couch. She was giggling to her heart¡¯s content as she conversed with a man; she looked happier than ever.

    Tian Jian could only see the back view of the man from where he stood. However, judging from his hairdo and apparel, he looked like a young male staff who worked in the cafe.

    Tian Jian was really upset at how happy his wife was with the man in the shop. He stomped into the cafe with fire in his eyes.

    As soon as he stepped into the cafe, he found himself surrounded by a mysterious soothing energy.

    To a workaholic like Tian Jian who worked overtime almost every single day, he naturally suffered from an array of health problems which could range from intestinal, spinal and hip problems.

    The moment he entered the cafe, he felt an immense sense of relief as all these illnesses that used to haunt him gradually left his body.

    However, even such levels offort and rxation couldn¡¯t douse the fire that was burning in his eyes. He inched his way towards the direction where his wife was seated.

    Tian Jian¡¯s wife was engaged in a hearty conversation with the young man beside her. ¡°You look so alike! I bet you guys are rtives!¡±

    She poked the young man¡¯s face and continued, ¡°I feel like you could make a name for yourself. You seem to be on par with those young celebrities.¡±

    Tian Jian was fuming mad at this point as he stood beside the man and bellowed, ¡°Ma Qiu Shi!¡±

    Tian Jian¡¯s wife lifted her head up and gasped in surprise, ¡°Hubby! Why are you here? Aren¡¯t you working today?¡±

    ¡°This...¡± Tian Jian was just about to say something when the young man turned around. Tian Jian gasped and eximed, ¡°Kris Wu?¡±

    ¡°Haha, you can¡¯t tell either right? He isn¡¯t Kris Wu, he is just a look alike.¡± Tian Jian¡¯s wifeughed again.

    Zhao Yao nodded to Tian Jian and greeted him, ¡°Hi, I¡¯m one of the employees at the cat cafe. Wee to the Star Cats¡¯ Night! Would you like to order a cup of drink?¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Tian Jian nodded in doubt as he was still shocked by the young man¡¯s appearance. In his mind, he thought to himself, ¡°It¡¯s over, I lost. Ipletely lost.¡±

    ¡°Give him a cup of cappino.¡± Tian Jian¡¯s wife dragged him to sit beside her and continued to ask, ¡°What brings you here today? I recall asking you toe over to the cafe several times a few weeks back but you always refused. How is it? Isn¡¯t it sofortable to stay in this cafe?¡±

    Tian Jian couldn¡¯t help but feel increasingly infuriated as he stared at the young man¡¯s face.

    ¡°Oh, I see. So the reason foring here is to see this young man over here? You fancy younger guys?¡±

    Tian Jian¡¯s wife knitted her eyebrows and asked, ¡°Excuse me, Tian Jian, what do you mean?¡±

    Tian Jian responded furiously, ¡°What do you mean? You visit this cafe almost every single day for this guy over here. You don¡¯t prepare dinner anymore and you don¡¯t even tidy up our house at all! What do you mean!?¡±

    Tian Jian¡¯s wife instantly lost her temper and screamed at Tian Jian as she pointed her finger at him. ¡°Tian Jian! I dare you to say that once more!¡± ¡ª¡ª

    ¡°It¡¯s him ...¡± Tian Jian once again turned his head around to face Zhao Yao but was taken aback by what he saw. His jaw went ck as he could not believe his eyes. Tian Jian lowered his head and took a look at Zhao Yao¡¯s chest before fixing his eyes back on Zhao Yao¡¯s face.

    ¡°What¡¯s happening? I¡¯m sure I saw a man just now!¡±

    In Tian Jian¡¯s eyes, Zhao Yao¡¯s chest was definitely a female¡¯s chest! Furthermore, those were a pair of capacious and full bosoms. Tian Jian¡¯s face flushed with embarrassment as he took another nce at Zhao Yao¡¯s face. Even though Zhao Yao¡¯s face somewhat resembled Kris Wu, it was still a female¡¯s face.

    Tian Jian¡¯s wife began jabbing against his chest and retorted, ¡°Speak! Why aren¡¯t you speaking now? Every day, I spent all my time taking care of household chores for you! Look at my hands! Look at my face! Do you realize how much I have aged over the past few years? Do you realize that I have dedicated my entire youth to you? Why can¡¯t Ie out for a simple cup of coffee now that we¡¯re doing better than before?¡±

    Tian Jian knew that he was in the wrong and instantly lowered his head, ¡°Darling, I¡¯m so sorry. It¡¯s my fault. My eyes yed a trick on me. I thought he was Kris Wu.¡±

    ¡°What Kris Wu? She only resembles him but she is not Kris Wu!¡±

    After Tian Jian¡¯s ceaseless coaxing, his wife finally managed to cool down and began exining the caf¨¦¡¯s benefits to him. Tian Jian could not believe that such a thing actually existed. Unknowingly, he picked up a cat from the floor and clutched it tightly against his chest. He simplyy quietly on the sofa and had no intentions to move at all.

    Zhao Yao finally heaved a sigh of relief, ¡°Thank goodness I turned myself into a female. If I acted one secondter, the oue would have been disastrous.¡±

    ...

    A few hours had passed since the incident.

    ¡°Ahhhhh ... Why is this sofortable?¡±

    Because of the influx of customers, the ratio between the number of cats and humans began falling drastically. One adorable girl walked towards Tian Jian and asked, ¡°Uncle, can I touch the kitty in your arms? Please!¡±

    ¡°Oh,¡± Tian Jian immediately sat up straight and carefully ced the cat in her arms, ¡°You can take it, I¡¯m just gonna rest here for a while.¡±

    ¡°Thank you!¡± The adorable girl was beaming from ear to ear as she stared at the cute little cat in her arms. She then returned to her group of friends.

    ¡°Everyone, look at this Siamese cat!¡±

    ¡°Wah, look at its beautiful grey fur!¡±

    ¡°¡±It¡¯s like a tiny coal miner! It¡¯s adorable!¡±

    Tian Jian couldn¡¯t help but smiled when he noticed their expressions, ¡°How I wish I can turn back time and be like them again.¡±

    At this time, Tian Jian¡¯s wife had returned to his side and picked a spot next to him and settled down, ¡°How is it? I told you that this ce is really nice andfortable.¡±

    Tian Jian could only nod his head in agreement. Within this short span of time, the pains and bodily diforts that he suffered from had vanished into the surrounding. Tian Jian crept up to his wife and whispered into her ears, ¡°Let¡¯s have some fun tonight.¡±

    Her face immediately turned crimson as she responded, ¡°No, our daughter will hear us.¡±

    ¡°We will do once in the afternoon then,¡± Tian Jian grabbed his waist and started stretching his body before concluding, ¡°I feel so much better and so much more energetic than before!¡±

    His wife was happy to hear these words and said, ¡°Maybe we cane two or three times every week in the future.¡±

    Tian Jian squinted his eyes into a line andyfortably on the couch. It seemed like he had forgotten his original purpose foring to the caf¨¦.

    While the couple was engaged in their conversation, Matcha, which donned on his green hat, pranced across them and instantly raised his head when he overheard their conversation, ¡°Is human marriage life really so pitiful? They don¡¯t even have time to enjoy together?¡± An idea sprang up in his head and he thought, ¡°Hmph, is it time to help Zhao Yao get a wife?¡±

    At this moment, the cats were in a ¡®precarious¡¯ situation. The customers would grab them and clutch them in their arms the moment they spotted them roaming around alone.

    After prancing around the caf¨¦ for a short minute, Yan Xiao Qing immediately brought Matcha into her arms, ¡°Wah, this Scottish Fold is adorable! An Xin! Look! Its head is the huge!¡±

    Matcha stared at her with a pair of dead fish eyes, ¡°Tsk! Your head will also be this big if your owner forced a giant hat on your head.¡± Matcha really looked so adorable with its illusion enchanted big head.

    Suddenly, Matcha¡¯s tail began quivering and his body shook like a leaf. This was because of Xiao Qing running her fingers through his fur and rubbing her hands against his head, ¡°D*mn it! This is so painful! How is this woman so strong?¡±

    ¡°No, I need to remain professional. I must be the celebrity cat of the month. I will then use the RMB 500 and spend it on yerUnknown¡¯s Battlegrounds, Mobile Legends, and even game skins!¡± Matcha could only meow softly as a form of retaliation. After watching Zhao Yao y that game for the past few days, his desire to y it gave him the strength to withstand all these abuses.

    His pain was not entirely Xiao Qing¡¯s fault. She had identally touched the injured spot where Elizabeth had ripped off his fur which exined the acute pain.

    Beside her, An Xin buried her head in the notes and began cramming all the information in her head. Sporadically, she would nce at Matcha before whispering, ¡°This is just a species that is carefully preserved and protected by humans for their own amusement and entertainment. They would not even survive 3 days out in the wild.¡±

    Matcha replied her with a death re and thought, ¡°Stupid woman! I¡¯ll never let you touch me if not for the money in your purse!¡±

    Despite having that thought at the back of his head, Matcha still stared at Xiao Qing endearingly and let out a few gentle and adorable purrs. He then buried his head in her chest.

    ¡°Haha, An Xin! Take a look! This cat is so close to me!¡±

    Meanwhile, Leigh Zhao, who was d in a Chanel long sleeve bodysuit, and Coco Sun were walking towards the caf¨¦ as they exited from the basement carpark.

    ¡°Hurry Coco! It has already started! There won¡¯t be any cats left for us if we take our own sweet time!¡±

    Coco Sun wore a simple sailor suit that most Japanese high school girls wore. She also specially picked a pair of beauty lens and looked just like one of those anime characters. Coco Sun curled her lips in anger when she heard Leigh Zhao¡¯s remarks and whispered, ¡°We would have been here eons ago if not for you.¡±

    ¡°That Jiangmen Kris Wu is really so handsome!¡± Leigh Zhao¡¯s eyes glittered with excitement as she continued, ¡°Do you think I have a shot at him?¡±

    ¡°Spring is here!¡± Coco Sun responded as she rolled her eyes.

    Soon, both of them had reached the caf¨¦ and were inundated with the seas of customers. Coco Sun¡¯s jaws went ck as she stared at the scene, ¡°It¡¯s all because of you!¡± Coco Sun looked in Elizabeth¡¯s direction and saw tens of girls surround Elizabeth and their fingers running through her fur.

    Elizabeth tried her very best to keep herposure as the girls reached out their hands and touched her all over her body. Finally, she reached out a paw and pped against a girl¡¯s hand when that girl tried to touch her butt. Elizabeth red at her and meowed softly.

    The girl simply chortled and said, ¡°Elizabeth is embarrassed! This is so cute!¡±

    ¡°Stupid girl!¡± Elizabeth shut her eyes as an attempt to stop herself from giving the girl another p on her hand.

    ¡°D*mn it!¡± Coco felt a tinge of jealousy when she saw her favorite Elizabeth in others¡¯ arms. It was the same feeling you had when your favorite toy was taken away from you.

    Leigh Zhao did not care that much as her objective foring here never involved cats. She only came for the miraculous healing powers, but now she had one more reason.

    ¡°Hey, how are you? Do you remember me?¡± Leigh Zhao appeared in front of Zhao Yao and introduced herself.

    Zhao Yao simply nodded his head. He could not help but juxtaposed Leigh Zhao¡¯s usual nonchnt attitude and her current behavior.

    A thought sprang up in his head, ¡°You are so superficial! Am I really that different from Kris Wu?¡±

    Zhao Yao knew that her current attitude towards him was because of the skin he coated himself with. Hence, his responses were kept as short as possible.

    Meanwhile, Coco Sun was still waiting for her opportunity to y with Elizabeth. Currently, she was cuddling Roly Poly which was disguised as a Ragdoll.

    Baiquan immediately stepped forth to stop her when she tried to take a photo. Baiquan pointed towards the advisory notice on the front door and exined, ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, but you are not allowed to take photos inside the caf¨¦.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s illusion could alter an individual¡¯s vision. Hence, the photo would reflect what they saw now. However, if they leave the caf¨¦ and exit the illusion¡¯s sphere of influence, they would see the actual image. Zhao Yao¡¯s illusion could not alter the photograph¡¯s electronic record permanently.

    Baiquan and Shi Yu stopped anyone who flouted the rules. Zhao Yao would secretly delete the photo if the customers refused to cooperate.

    However, the majority of the customersplied with the rules when they were alerted to it.

    Coco was extremely cooperative and ced her phone on the table. She began caressing Roly Poly¡¯s belly and chuckled, ¡°This color pattern on this new ragdoll is so vibrant, but it¡¯s a little fat. However, a fat ragdoll is still a cute ragdoll.¡±

    She then began rubbing Roly Poly¡¯s giant belly.

    Roly Poly was already rather ufortable with his giant stomach all tied up together. Coco¡¯s actions only made it worse. He could not help but to gently kick Coco¡¯s hand. He stared at her with his Puss in Boots eyes with the hopes that she would stop.

    ¡°Ohh, you don¡¯t like people touching your belly?¡± Coco then gave a gentle massage on his head. Her heart was on the verge of melting when she looked at that pair of adorable eyes.

    Suddenly, the rope used to restrain Roly Poly¡¯s giant belly snapped. Coco Sun could not believe her eyes as Roly Poly¡¯s belly had expanded to an incredible size.

    Roly Poly shouted via his consciousness, ¡°Zhao Yao! Not good! My belt has snapped and my fats are pouring out of it!¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately turned his head and noticed Roly Poly¡¯s expanded belly. His illusion could no longer conceal his true belly¡¯s form, allowing everyone to see Roly Poly¡¯s belly at its natural state.

    Another shriek erupted in the caf¨¦ following Roly Poly¡¯s belt snapping.

    Zhao Yao turned his head in the other direction and saw a girl staring nkly at Elizabeth which had a bald patch atop her head. In the girl¡¯s hand was a handful of cat fur which Zhao Yao had used as a disguise for Elizabeth¡¯s fur by using his illusion.

    She had identally ripped off the fur while cuddling Elizabeth.

    Elizabeth froze when she realized that a handful of fur had been ripped off of her. She could not imagine so many people staring at her in this state.

    At this critical juncture, Zhao Yao¡¯s voice rang in her head, ¡°Use your illusion and turn everyone¡¯s vision into pitch darkness!¡±

    Elizabethplied with Zhao Yao¡¯s instructions and enveloped everyone¡¯s vision in darkness. Zhao Yao followed it up with Matcha¡¯s power of time freeze.

    At that moment when he switched to Matcha¡¯s ability, the skin coated on the cats had disappeared ordingly. However, with Elizabeth¡¯s help, their eyes were immediately shrouded in darkness and did not notice this anomaly. Time then came to a standstill.

    ¡°I only have six seconds. I must settle everything now!¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately started rectifying the situation. He was not influenced by Elizabeth¡¯s illusion and went about in god-like speed. He immediately came forth to Elizabeth and grabbed the fur in the girl¡¯s hands and pressed it against Elizabeth¡¯s head. Two seconds had psed.

    Then, he bolted to Roly Poly and stared at its gigantic belly. The thread was nowhere to be found and he knew that it was going to be troublesome.

    Suddenly, a idea shed across his head. He softly pressed his palm against Roly Poly¡¯s belly. This was followed by the second palm strike, then the third palm strike, then the fourth palm strike ...

    When time resumed, Zhao Yao had already returned to his original position. Roly Poly only felt an inexplicable sensation. An invisible force had continually pped his belly back to the previous state. At the same time, a chilling voice rang in his head.

    ¡°Stupid cat! For the rest of the day, I need you to suck in your belly!¡±

    Roly Poly froze. Then, he took a deep breath and sucked in his entire belly. This perfectlyplemented Zhao Yao¡¯s illusion.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, I feel like shitting!¡±

    ¡°Control yourself!¡±

    After doing all these, Zhao Yao reverted to Elizabeth¡¯s power and coated the cats in his caf¨¦ with their original skin.

    In the customer¡¯s eyes, the lights in the caf¨¦ went out for a second before everything went back to normal.

    Zhao Yao stood up and announced, ¡°Everyone, I¡¯m so sorry! The current flow in this building is quite unstable which resulted in the ckout just now.¡±

    Coco Sun which was previously in shock rubbed her eyes as she stared at Roly Poly which was trying his best to keep his belly in. She thought, ¡°Did my eyes y a trick on me?¡±

    On the other side, the girl which originally ripped off the fur from Elizabeth stared at her palm and realized there was nothing in it. Even the bald patch on Elizabeth had disappeared. Zhao Yao had pressed the fur back on Elizabeth and had seamlessly coated it with his illusion.

    ¡°Finally, everything has been settled.¡±Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief and spoke to Elizabeth via his consciousness, ¡°Don¡¯t let anyone touch your head anymore.¡±

    ¡°But all these girls just wanna touch my head. What am I supposed to do?¡±

    Despite herints, Elizabeth still used her paws to stop anyone whose hands began reaching towards her head. She was surrounded by mostly girls and they were all cat lovers. Hence, no one tried to touch her head after getting intercepted by her paws.

    After all these troubles, Zhao Yao thought that the night was finally going to end smoothly. This temporary peace was shattered by a deafening scream.

    ¡°D*mn it, what happened this time?¡± Currently, Zhao Yao¡¯s power was still under cooldown and he cannot constantly rely on the excuse of ckout to exin the situation.

    He turned his head towards the direction of the scream and saw Xiao Qing staring in fear with Matcha in her arms. Half of Matcha¡¯s head had dropped onto the floor, while the remaining half was dangling loosely on his neck.

    Instantly, a heart-warming movie had turned into a bloody and gory restricted movie.

    ¡°F*ck!¡± Zhao Yao understood what had happened. Matcha¡¯s green hat had fallen off because of Xiao Qing¡¯s constant cuddling. The hat which was coated with illusion was part of Matcha¡¯s head in everyone¡¯s eyes which resulted in the astonishing scene.

    Matcha had no clue what had happened and stared nkly at her, ¡°Why is this silly girl screaming her guts out? Zhao Yao! Look! Another girl is screaming for me! I believe no girls have ever screamed for you in your entire life!¡±

    ¡°Never mind, I guess it¡¯s my fault to look so cute.¡± Matcha then reached his paws towards Xiao Qing, ¡°Stop screaming, I¡¯ll give you this rare opportunity to touch George Matcha¡¯s meaty paws.¡±

    Xiao Qing¡¯s scream intensified as she saw his arms reaching towards her. She immediately threw Matcha into the air and grabbed her face in her hands. Her body was shaking like a leaf and tears shimmered in her eyes.

    ¡°R*tard!¡± Zhao Yao dashed towards Matcha and grabbed him from the floor.

    Xiao Qing was not the only one staring in shock at this scene, almost all the other customers had turned their heads around. They were dumbfounded by what had happened.

    ¡°This stupid fool!¡± Elizabeth could not help but turned her head around when she realized that Matcha was still clueless as to what had happened.

    Meanwhile, Roly Poly was secretlyughing at Matcha¡¯s predicament, ¡°Another opponent eliminated.¡±

    Dust Ball, which was resting on a table, slowly opened her eyes and nced at Matcha. She then shut her eyes with disdain.

    Surrounded by the pairs of watchful eyes, Zhao Yao slowly bent down and picked up Matcha¡¯s head (green hat) from the floor before cing it back on Matcha.

    Matcha meowed and shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! You¡¯ve ced it on the wrong side! That¡¯s my butt, not my head!¡±

    ¡°I have no time!¡± Under the influence of the illusion, Matcha had reverted to a perfect little Scottish Fold. Zhao Yao then raised Matcha in his hands just like how Rafiki raised Simba in his hands in Lion King.

    ¡°Tada! Thank you for watching this performance! I¡¯ve spent quite some time practicing this trick! Everyone, calm down! The cat is fine! Look at it! It¡¯s bouncing around like before!¡±

    Baiquan and Shi Yu reacted to the situation and began pping which influenced the rest of the customers to join in.

    ¡°This trick is so cool!¡± Cheers erupted as the customers believed that they had just witnessed an incredible magic trick.

    ¡°This magician is so cool!¡± These cheers initiated by those who were awe-struck by Zhao Yao¡¯s face.

    Xiao Qing immediately patted herself on her chest to calm herself, ¡°D*mn it, were you trying to scare the living shit out of me? I really thought that I had broke the cat¡¯s head into two!¡± However, her forehead furrowed slightly when she observed Matcha bouncing around, ¡°Why do I have this feeling that this cat looks slightly different from before?¡±

    Because of Zhao Yao¡¯s mistake, Matcha was carried upside down by Zhao Yao and he retorted, ¡°Zhao Yao, I already told you that you made a mistake! Now, my butt and head is reversed!¡±

    ¡°Shut up silly cat. If I hear another word from your silly mouth, I will make sure I chop off your head and paste it on your ass!¡±

    Matcha¡¯s body shook and he immediately stopped struggling.

    Even though Zhao Yao had ced the green hat on Matcha¡¯s butt, no one would be able to see through this mistake as long as they did not touch Matcha. This was because Zhao Yao¡¯s illusion could alter their sense of sight but the trick would be exposed if they touched Matcha because his illusion could not alter their sense of touch.

    ¡°Stupid cat, there are so many pairs of eyes staring at you. I can¡¯t just go over now and help you fix it. Find a way and get to the toilet. I¡¯ll go over and help you!¡±

    While everyone was not paying attention, Zhao Yao carried Matcha to a corner of the caf¨¦ which was nearest to the cat toilet. To prevent anyone from noticing any abnormalities, Matcha even had to walk backward to the cat toilet.

    In the illusion which Zhao Yao had cast, Matcha¡¯s head had turned into his butt while his butt had turned into his head. The image projected by the illusion was the opposite of reality.

    ¡°This is so troublesome,¡± Matcha grumbled as he backtracked his way into the cat toilet and out of the customers¡¯ field of vision.

    With no one to judge him, Matcha just sat on the floor and ignored the fact that he looked like he was sitting on his face because of the illusion. Matcha grew frustrated and asked Zhao Yao, ¡°Zhao Yao, are you done yet?¡±

    ¡°Wait, I¡¯m still busy, just stay in the toilet for a little while longer.¡±

    Matcha pouted and begun surveying his surroundings. He thought, ¡°Since I¡¯m already in the toilet, I might as well use it.¡± He then walked towards one of the automatic self-cleaning litter boxes.

    At the same time, Dust Ball had just burrowed her way out of the litter box and saw a fat cat walking backward into another litter box. The fat cat turned his body and sat on his face. Strange sounds emanated from that litter box.

    Dust Ball was traumatized by what she had just seen and sprinted towards the litter box. She fixed her eyes on the fat cat in it.

    She could not believe what she saw. The fat cat vomited pieces of cat feces from his mouth.

    Dust Ball broke into a cold sweat as she took a few steps back. Her mouth was slightly opened, and her entire feline worldview had been shattered to pieces.

    The fat cat then exited the litter box by walking backward again. He even nodded at Dust Ball with his butt cheeks. Dust Ball noticed the remnants on the side of his lips. The fat cat¡¯s butt cheeks started moving animatedly, and it seemed like he wasmunicating with Dust Ball.

    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s Dust Ball? You also came for a toilet break? Do you want to help me lick my ass?¡±

    This frightened the life out of Dust Ball as she ran towards the exit, to escape from this monstrosity.

    ¡°Why did she run away?¡± Matcha licked the fur on his body and mumbled, ¡°Was she afraid of my aura?¡±

    Zhao Yao used his power to freeze time and conjure illusions to address the incidents which cropped up in his caf¨¦.

    The number of people who came to the caf¨¦ also reached an all-time high. There were a total of 60 to 70 customers. One cat had to be shared between 3 or 4 customers.

    On the one hand, this was due to the soothing effects of Celestial Beats which attracted many people to visit the caf¨¦. On the other hand, it was also due to the increase in the number of cat lovers in China. Thest reason was due to Zhao Yao¡¯s Kris Wu skin.

    All the customers could not bear to leave the caf¨¦ when the clock struck 8 pm.

    An Xin stared at the questionnaire in her hand and could not make up her mind over who was the cutest cat tonight.

    ¡°I think the cat with the giant head was the cutest.¡±

    ¡°Ms. An, have youpleted the questionnaire?¡± Zhao Yao raised his eyebrow as he collected the questionnaire from her. He took a peep at the paper and sighed, ¡°It¡¯s Matcha again. I guess it managed to earn quite a few votes with that magic trick.¡±

    Leigh Zhao walked towards Zhao Yao and submitted the form to him. She winked at him and gave a mysterious smile before turning to leave.

    Zhao Yao looked at the questionnaire which Leigh Zhao had turned in and saw that she voted for Elizabeth. Other than that, she also left a phone number at the corner of the paper.

    Zhao Yao sighed as he recalled the mysterious smile that she gave just now. He slotted the questionnaire into the pile and pretended as if he did not see anything. Deep down, he knew that the number was given to his ¡°face¡± and not him.

    Coco Sun who donned the sailor suit had cat fur all over her skirt and socks. After submitting the form, she stared at Zhao Yao wide-eyed and asked him excitedly, ¡°Hi, do you sell the cats which are in the caf¨¦ today?¡±

    ¡°Oh, are you interested in buying the cats?¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± Coco was somewhat embarrassed as she gave the reply. She lowered her head and continued, ¡°I really like this cat, and I promise you I will treat her like a princess. I¡¯m willing to pay any amount for Elizabeth.¡± She had a burning desire to bring Elizabeth home right now. She did not want to see anyone hugging and cuddling Elizabeth. She wanted Elizabeth all to herself.

    Zhao Yao scratched his head and replied, ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, but the cats in the caf¨¦ are not for sale.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m willing to offer RMB 100,000 for Elizabeth. I¡¯m really sincere about buying Elizabeth, and I promise you that I will take good care of it.¡±

    Zhao Yao stared at Coco who seemed so determined to call Elizabeth her own. He thought, ¡°I knew that she was pretty rich. But I didn¡¯t expect her to pay RMB 100,000 for just a cat. She is the fuerdai.¡±

    Her eyes flickered with anticipation as she continued staring at Zhao Yao. She pleaded incessantly but to no avail.

    It was already 9 pm when they sent thest customer out of the caf¨¦. Shi Yu and Baiquan stared at the mess in front of them. Zhao Yao tried to lighten the mood and said, ¡°Thank you for your hard work today. I¡¯ll reward you guys with a fat red packet at the end of the month!¡±

    ¡°Hmm, this is unlike Zhao Yao.¡± Shi Yu raised her and took a nce at Zhao Yao. She asked, ¡°Did you win the lottery or something?¡±

    ¡°What are you talking about? I, Zhao Yao, have always been known for my generosity.¡± Zhao Yao announced proudly.

    The experience points which he earned at the end of the month were dependent on the profit and not the revenue. Hence, Zhao Yao had to minimize his cost to maximize his earnings.

    Even though he was extremely strict as to where the money went, the utility billsbined with the money spent on cat food, tidbits had totaled to over tens of thousands RMB. Even though he had used the cheapest coffee powder, he could not do the same to his cats. He always bought the most premier food to provide a bnced diet for them.

    Furthermore, the maintenance for the automatic self-cleaning litter box was a few times more expensive than ordinary cat litter box. With over 20 cats to tend to, the amount easily exceeded a few thousand each month.

    Zhao Yao intended to distribute his profits to the cats and his human helpers as a reward for their month of hard work.

    ¡°Thank goodness I do not have to pay the rental and tax. It would be disastrous if I have to. Opening a shop is difficult.¡±

    Zhao Yao fetched the stack of questionnaire and started tallying the votes for each cat.

    Matcha stared at Zhao Yao¡¯s direction with his eyebrows knitted together. He was praying in his heart, ¡°Please let it be me, please let it be me.¡±

    Roly Poly and Dust Ball¡¯s forehead furrowed as they stared in the same direction. Even Elizabeth who seemed like she was indifferent to thispetition nced in the direction from time to time.

    Ten minutester, Zhao Yao stared at the results in his hand, and he shook his head in disbelief, ¡°I can¡¯t believe it.¡±

    He turned to the cats who had a glint in all their eyes and announced, ¡°The champion of thispetition is Matcha. This is followed by Elizabeth, Roly Poly and finally Dust Ball.¡±

    ¡°Meowhahaha,¡± Matcha stood on his feet and roared withughter, ¡°I knew it! I¡¯m the cutest cat among the 4 of us!¡±

    ¡°Tsk,¡± Elizabeth red at Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, are you sure you counted correctly? Are you sure I lost to this fool?¡±

    ¡°You guys can check and tally the votes if you wished to.¡± Zhao Yao left the votes on the table and said, ¡°However Matcha had won this time around. It might have been because of his ¡®magic trick¡¯.¡±

    ¡°Meowhaha, Elizabeth don¡¯t be disheartened.¡± Matcha folded his ears and mocked her, ¡°Not every cat is capable ofpeting with me on the same level. You should be happy that you defeated the stray cats.¡±

    Elizabeth instantly rolled her eyes at Matcha and could not be bothered by this cocky fat cat.

    Roly Poly also heaved a sigh of relief, ¡°This might work out for me. After winning the RMB 500, Matcha would note to me and ask for money.¡±

    Matcha ran to Zhao Yao and started rubbing his body against his legs, ¡°Zhao Yao! Quickly give me my RMB 500!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll pass it to you at the end of the month.¡± Zhao Yao replied coolly. Matcha¡¯s smile copsed as he retreated to his corner.

    Cat caf¨¦¡¯s business boomed in the subsequent days as it rode on the sess of cat¡¯s night. The influx of customers was to the delight of Zhao Yao.

    However, Zhao Yao had to use his illusion on the four supercats to maintain their original image due to their bald patch.

    Time flew, and it was already the end of the month. It was the day where Zhao Yao would earn the experience points from his monthly mission.

 Chapter 131: Cash In

    <h4>Chapter 131: Cash In</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    At 11.55 pm that night, Zhao Yao was beside himself. He was not ying with his cats or hisputer games. He was just lying on the sofa in the living room with his eyes glued to the ceiling. He was waiting for the clock to strike 12.

    ¡°Under normal circumstances, I should be able to receive the experience points from my monthly mission at 12 am which signified the start of a new month.¡±

    Regardless of the number of experience points received, Zhao Yao was confident that he could upgrade his cats by 1 or 2 levels.

    He took out his BOOK and stared at it.

    His book was lv3 at the moment. Because of the ¡°X2 Exp Card¡± which he had been using, his experience points had already umted to lv3(1204/2000).

    Matcha who was also affected by the card had reached lv4 (660/2000).

    Zhao Yao only received one diamond each day forpleting his daily missions. However, he had to use two diamonds every day to purchase the ¡°X2 Exp Card¡± for both his BOOK and Matcha. Hence, he had used up many of his diamonds and was left with just 5.

    He decided to only purchase the ¡°X2 Exp Card¡± for his BOOK starting from next month. By using the diamond he earned from his daily missions on his BOOK, he could save the remaining five diamonds for any emergencies.

    Other than the ¡°X2 Exp Card¡± in diamond hall, there was also ¡°Power Up Card¡± which could be activated at a critical juncture.

    Zhao Yao then flipped to the pages on Dust Ball and Elizabeth.

    Elizabeth was not given the ¡°X2 Exp Card¡± and was currently lv3 (498/1000). If Zhao Yao added the points from the BOOK to Elizabeth, she could level up instantly.

    Meanwhile, Dust Ball was currently lv3(330/1000). She could also level up instantly if Zhao Yao decided to pump the points from the BOOK to her. After all the time that they had spent together coupled with the power of Celestial Beats and the lure of catmint, her loyalty had increased to 95, just 5 points short of 100.

    While Zhao Yao was immersed in his thoughts, the clock had unknowingly struck 12 and the new month had begun.

    The words beneath the monthly mission panel also changed.

    There was a tick right next to the mission which signified thepletion of the task. Under the reward section, it wrote that after deducting the utility bills and the money spent on cat food and the automatic self-cleaning litter box, the profit was RMB 102,333 and he could earn 200 experience points. He could collect the points by clicking on the button which would automatically refresh the mission for the month.

    Zhao Yao would earn 100 experience points for every RMB 50,000 earned. He immediately exchanged one diamond for an ¡°X2 Exp Card¡± in diamond hall and used it on the BOOK before receiving the points from the monthly mission.

    Instantly, 400 experience points were added to the BOOK, and it now read, Book: lv3(1604/2000)

    Zhao Yao sighed as he thought, ¡°What a pity I spent the first half of the month improving the caf¨¦¡¯s poprity. I did not earn enough money to upgrade the book by 1 level. However, these 400 points should be sufficient for me to upgrade both Dust Ball and Elizabeth to level 4.

    Thankfully, I managed to cut my cost to the lowest. If I spend just a few thousand more, my profit would have dipped below RMB 100,000 and the experience points earned would reduce by half.

    And there¡¯s still the problem of rental and tax. If I had to pay them myself, the experience points earned would be zero.¡±

    However, this was a problem which Zhao Yao could not avoid. A cat caf¨¦¡¯s operating cost had always been significantly higher than typical cafes. Hence it was rare to see a cat caf¨¦ upying such a central location.

    Furthermore, Zhao Yao only bought and fed his cats with the most premier cat food. One month worth of cat food was equivalent to the amount of money 20 college students spent on food.

    Zhao Yao started extrapting the caf¨¦¡¯s business based on its steadily climbing poprity and believed that the profit and experience points earned next month would be way more than this time. The corner of his mouth quirked up at the thought of it.

    He could never resist a mission which allowed him to gain both experience points and money.

    ¡°Now, it¡¯s time to add the experience points to the cats. Let¡¯s start with Elizabeth.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s entire face lit up as he thought about upgrading Elizabeth. Matcha gave him an excellent ability when he was upgraded to level 4 the previous time. Zhao Yao eagerly anticipated what Elizabeth could give him.

    He transferred the experience points from the BOOK to Elizabeth, and she leveled up instantly. It now read lv4(0/2000).

    The power tree sprang up again with two ability branches to choose from.

    The Eternal Illusion: The caster could cast an illusion on the intended target for 24 hours. The illusion was not dependent on the proximity between the caster and the target.

    The 5 Senses: This would turn the illusion into the perfect illusion where it affected all five senses simultaneously.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s jaw dropped when he saw the options given to him. He thought, ¡°Both powers are so sick, be it The Eternal Illusion or The 5 Senses.¡±

    ¡°The good thing about The Eternal Illusion is that I could switch to the other cat¡¯s power after casting the illusion while maintaining it.¡±

    ¡°As for The 5 Senses, it was a perfect illusion, and there was no chance an ordinary person could see through it.¡±

    Zhao Yao was in a dilemma as he did not know which power to choose from. Both were extremely powerful in their own right.

    ¡°I guess I¡¯m going for The 5 Senses. The perfect illusion would be beneficial for future fights and will simultaneously improve the caf¨¦¡¯s business.¡±

    Zhao Yao finally decided on The 5 Senses after much deliberation.

    He was excited to give the power a go and activated it immediately.

    The objects before him disappeared instantly, and he found himself in outer space. He turned around and saw meteors streaking past him and the stars shining in pitch darkness.

    ¡°This is space.¡±

    He waved his hand andmanded, ¡°Let there be wind.¡±

    A giant gust of wind blew across his face as he muttered, ¡°This is too realistic. Is there nothing I can¡¯t do?¡±

    Against the darkness and the wind blowing on his face, Zhao Yao shut his eyes and reimagined a whole new setting. When he opened his eyes, he found himself along the busiest street in Jiangmen city. He spread his arms, and the ground broke into halves. Buildings started copsing, and the public was scurrying in fear.

    Zhao Yao was taken aback by his abilities. Suddenly, he was jolted by a searing pain in his head as he clutched his head and stopped the illusion. He wondered, ¡°What¡¯s happening? Why does my head hurt so much?¡±

    In his head, everything was a mess, and all he wanted to do was to lie down and rest. He only recovered after resting for 10 minutes.

    Zhao Yao recalled what happened just now and concluded, ¡°The 5 Senses takes a toll on the human brain.¡±

    When he used his illusion to manipte the sense of smell, sight, and hearing during cat¡¯s night, he had already reached his physical limit.

    With the power of The 5 Senses, the details in the illusion were magnified ten times which exhausted even more energy.

    ¡°The scene which I tried to depict just now was tooplicated, and it was too exhausting for my brain,¡± Zhao Yao concluded. He rubbed his eyebrows and continued, ¡°This means that I cannot make my illusion tooplicated or deviate too much from reality. The illusion should preferably be as simple as possible.¡±

    ¡°Is this what it means to have pros and cons?¡± Zhao Yao chuckled at the thought. However, The 5 Senses was still considered a perfect illusion. Perhaps with the upgrade of his BOOK, and improving his physical conditioning through ¡°Two is better than one¡±, his body might be able to cope with the stress of The 5 Senses.

    Zhao Yao shut his eyes and took a short break. He opened his eyes and flipped to the page on Dust Ball and transferred the points over to her.

    Instantly, the experience points written in the book reflected the changes:

    Book Lv3(432/2000)

    Dust Ball Lv4(0/1000)

    Zhao Yao excitedly flipped to the page which had information regarding her abilities. After seeing Matcha and Elizabeth¡¯s fearsome powers, Zhao Yao was eager to see what Dust Ball had in store for him.

    ¡°This is so hard!¡± Zhao Yao started to scratch his hair frantically and began weighing the pros and cons of each ability.

    ¡°If I have Suck Me In, I can instantly teleport into the extradimensional belly. I will vanish from this dimension, and it would be my ultimate defense move.¡±

    ¡°Meanwhile, if I have Absolute Release, I can umte an immense amount of items in it. If I store 3 tons worth of objects in a day, I would have 30 tons in 10 days. If I released everything at once, it would be an unstoppable attack.¡±

    Zhao Yao scratched his chin as he considered his options. Both abilities were extremely potent, but Zhao Yao was leaning towards Suck Me In due to the defensive capability that it brought along. In the real world, it was more important to stay alive.

    As for the ability to instantly vomit tens of tons of objects and destroy everything in its sight, it was a little over the top for Zhao Yao. Furthermore, if he used this attack in Jiangmen city, the destruction that it would cause would result in too much innocent causality.

    Zhao Yao decided on Suck Me In.

    He immediately activated his new ability. He felt as if his body had fallen down a vortex and into emptiness. He had disappeared from the surface of Earth.

    There seemed to be a faint light beyond the darkness in front of Zhao Yao. However, Zhao Yao could not see the source of the light.

    In this dimension, there were all sorts of furniture, rubbish, tires, stic bags, cement and even bricks floating around aimlessly. These were the objects which Dust Ball had absorbed previously.

    Zhao Yao took a deep breath and pondered, ¡°The pressure and air in this dimension are the same as what I¡¯m used to. Is it because Dust Ball had absorbed air in when she activated her power? Or was the dimension naturally like this?¡±

    Zhao Yao raised his head and saw emptiness. He lowered his head and saw the same emptiness. He did not know the how big this space was. It was difficult to move around in it because gravity was absent and everything was just floating around. He tried to reposition himself by swimming in the air. However, it proved to be far too inefficient, and he gave up on his attempt to measure the size of this dimension.

    ¡°However, this would be a good ce to hide when escaping from an enemy,¡± Zhao Yao scratched his head and considered, ¡°I guess it¡¯s time to start cleaning up this ce and maybe even bring a torch and some food along.¡±

    ¡°Hmm, I might run out of oxygen in here. I guess I need to absorb more air into this dimension.¡±

    The battle between superpower had the potential to be savage. Even with the ability to freeze time and revived with time distortion, it would not make you invincible.

    But now with the power of Suck Me In, even if Zhao Yao was backstabbed, he could revive and escaped into his extradimensional belly. With sufficient food and air, he could survive in it for months.

    No matter how strong his enemy apostles were, it would be close to impossible to kill Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s mouth curved into a smile as he believed that he had chosen the right ability.

    ¡°It¡¯s such a pity that there isn¡¯t gravity here.¡± Zhao Yao had already started fantasizing the steps he would take to transform this into his haven.

    The past month he spent in the caf¨¦ had not gone to waste. Hisbat power had increased drastically with the upgrade of both Elizabeth and Dust Ball.

    Now, he had to inform both Elizabeth and Dust Ball about their newly acquired abilities.

    Zhao Yao could not be at his supercats¡¯ side at all times. Hence, he had to inform them about their new powers such that they could use it when the situation called for it.

    Roly Poly stared with envy at the two cats who just received a power boost. His eyes flickered with excitement, and he came running towards Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, can you upgrade my power as well?¡±

    ¡°As for you,¡± Zhao Yao was at a loss and did not know how to reply him. After awakening The 5 Senses, Zhao Yao¡¯s dependence on Roly Poly¡¯s invisibility had plummeted. He might not even consider recruiting Roly Poly when he upgraded his BOOK.

    Zhao Yao squatted beside Roly Poly and massaged his chin. Roly Poly shut his eyes and immersed himself at this moment. Zhao Yao said, ¡°Roly Poly, you don¡¯t need to have such strong abilities.¡±

    ¡°Why?¡± Sadness clouded Roly Poly¡¯s feature.

    ¡°I thought you didn¡¯t like to fight? You just have to hide behind all of us until all the fights in this world have ended.¡± Zhao Yao patted him on his head and continued, ¡°We will always protect you until that dayes.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡±

    Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief when Dust Ball¡¯s entire face lit up. Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Thank goodness this silly cat believed what I said.¡±

    Under Roly Poly¡¯s innocent expression, he was actually fuming in anger. He shouted in his head, ¡°Do you take me to be a gullible one-month-old kitten? It seems like I must still find an opportunity to escape. I heard that Team Saviors was recruiting, maybe I can try my luck there.¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at Roly Poly and was afraid that he might be feeling down and decided to use his new power on him. Zhao Yao chuckled and announced, ¡°Don¡¯t be sad! Let me reward you with something delicious for your excellent performance!¡±

    Roly Poly nodded his head excitedly. However, he did not expect anything good from Zhao Yao.

    ¡°It¡¯s just going to be the usual stuff. It would either be someme tidbit or cat rice.¡± Dust Bally t on the floor and shut his eyes. He tried to recall all the delicacies which he had had in life.

    ¡°I want to have fried chicken which is crispy on the outside yet soft on the inside. When you take a bite, the juice will explode in your mouth, and the well-marinated meat would leave behind a wonderful aftertaste on the tongue. Oh yes, and that fragrant smell of freshly fried chicken!¡±

    Roly Poly jolted out of his imagination as he smelled fried chicken in his vicinity.

    Roly Poly opened his eyes to the sight of Zhao Yao walking towards him with a bucket full of chicken. Each chicken was fried to perfection. The fragrance entered Roly Poly¡¯s body and infected every single cell in his body.

    ¡°Fried chicken?¡± Roly Poly¡¯s body started to tremble not out of fear but excitement. He could not believe Zhao Yao would treat him to something as good as fried chicken.

    ¡°Is this for me?¡±

    Zhao Yao replied with a simple nod and said, ¡°This is a reward for your performance in the caf¨¦.¡±

    Roly Poly opened his mouth and carefully positioned the chicken on his tongue where his taste buds were the most sensitive. He took a bite, and the juices exploded in his mouth. His eyes welled up, and he thought he was in heaven.

    ¡°This is too delicious!¡±

    ¡°I have never had such a perfect fried chicken in my life!¡±

    ¡°Why did you give me such a perfect fried chicken? I¡¯m going to spend the rest of my life searching for its recement.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head smugly as he saw Roly Poly devouring the cat food in front of him like never before. He thought, ¡°The perfect illusion is indeed strong. By altering all his senses, I can make Roly Poly think that he¡¯s eating fried chicken even when he is eating shit. This is incredible!¡±

    Roly Poly was truly grateful for Zhao Yao¡¯s kind gesture. He eximed, ¡°Zhao Yao, you are too good to me!¡±

    ¡°If you behave obediently, I¡¯ll treat you to fried chicken once every week!¡±

    <h4>Chapter 133: The Experiment</h4>

    While Roly Poly was happily polishing off every ounce of meat from the bones, spirit cat¡¯s nose twitched, and he floated behind Roly Poly.

    ¡°What is this? I searched the entire fridgest night, and I¡¯m sure I didn¡¯t see this.¡± Spirit cat could not stop his nose from twitching as he hovered around Roly Poly. He wanted so badly to have the chicken to himself. He thought, ¡°Zhao Yao was not holding on to any fried chicken when he got back today. How is this happening?¡±

    Suddenly, spirit cat realized that something was amiss, ¡°How can this be happening? When I¡¯m in spirit form, I should have lost my sense of smell. Why can I still smell the chicken though?¡±

    His brows tightened together, and he concluded, ¡°There must be something fishy in this food. I must find out what it is!¡±

    However, the answery in how Elizabeth¡¯s power worked. Elizabeth¡¯s illusion utilized soundwaves of an inaudible frequency which interfered with our sense. These waves were propagated whenever Elizabeth screamed or when Zhao Yao spoke.

    Even though spirit cat had lost his sense of smell and taste in his spirit form, he still retained his sense of hearing which made him susceptible to Elizabeth¡¯s illusion. This was how Zhao Yao conjured the fried chicken fragrance in spirit cat¡¯s mind.

    Spirit cat was not the only one who had been tricked by the illusion. Elizabeth, Matcha, Dust Ball also followed the trace of the smell and walked right to Roly Poly. They were also under the influence of Zhao Yao¡¯s illusion.

    There seemed to be a red glimmer in Elizabeth¡¯s eye as she wiped the drool off of her lips. She asked, ¡°Roly Poly, what are you having?¡±

    Matcha walked behind Roly Poly and ced his paw right on top of Roly Poly¡¯s neck. He asked, ¡°Roly Poly, do you have something nice to share with the rest of us?¡±

    Dust Ball did not even bother seeking permission as she reached her paws into the bucket and went straight for the chicken. Stray cats had the habit of snatching whatever they liked without asking.

    However, Roly Poly¡¯s paws intercepted Dust Ball¡¯s paws and prevented her from stealing his chicken. Roly Poly, who used to be the timidest cat among them puffed up his fur and arched his back to assert his dominance. He was willing toy his life for the chicken.

    He started hissing at the other cats and his pupils constricted into thin slits. He retorted, ¡°Don¡¯t think that you can bully just because I¡¯m so nice to you. Whoever dares to take away the chicken would face my wreath!¡±

    Bam!

    Matcha licked his paws as Roly Poly fell to the floor. Within the time freeze, Matcha had pped Roly Poly a total of 28 times. Matcha instructed, ¡°Elizabeth and Dust Ball, both of you will take one piece each.¡±

    Matcha took one piece of chicken out from the bucket and started his feast. Roly Poly and Elizabeth followed Matcha¡¯s instructions and took one each. They stared at it before taking a bite.

    Roly Poly was struggling to get on his feet and was in despair when he witnessed the scene which unfolded.

    Dust Ball took a bite and spat it out instantly. She had gotten used to raw meat when she was out surviving in the wilderness and loathed the taste of fried chicken.

    Dust Ball licked her lips and left.

    ¡°No!¡± Roly Poly made a beeline for the chicken and caught it in his mouth just before it hit the ground.

    Elizabeth took a few bites and began shaking her head, ¡°This is not that good, it¡¯s too salty!¡±

    Cats were not supposed to have too much salt intake. The salt present in their natural food more than provided for what their body required. If they ingest excessive salt, it might result in having kidney stones or even incontinence. Elizabeth was already used to the taste of cat food and cat rice. Hence she found the fried chicken too salty.

    On the other hand, Matcha had eaten lots of cat tidbits and was used to it. Cat tidbits had higher contents of salt than cat rice. Hence, Matcha fell in love with the chicken and finished it in an instant. He took a huge bite of the piece of chicken that Elizabeth had thrown away.

    Roly Poly bit his lower lips but could not offer any resistance against Matcha¡¯s atrocity. He only went forward after Matcha took his leave. Roly Poly reached out his tiny pink tongue and started licking the leftovers. He tried to salvage everyst bit of chicken goodness left in it.

    Zhao Yao could not help but to break intoughter as he witnessed this scene, ¡°Roly Poly is such a fool! He is obviously twice the weight of Matcha, and he does not even dare to retaliate!¡±

    However, Zhao Yao also understood that weight was not the determining factor in a fight between supercats.

    ¡°But this is good! You would not be able to understand your owner¡¯s kindness without experiencing the harsh reality of life!¡± Zhao Yao then proceeded to the kitchen, ¡°There are still some leftovers from this morning, I¡¯m sure Roly Poly would be more than willing to help me finish it!¡±

    A vein popped out in Zhao Yao¡¯s neck when he recalled how much food his cats had wasted. Domestic cats had developed the habit of leaving leftover as food was always readily avable. To them, a te full of leftovers was as good as an empty te.

    Other than Dust Ball, all the other cats had the same habit. However, Zhao Yao was about to change this.

    He served the leftovers from this morning on a silver tter and brought it to the demoralized Roly Poly.

    Under the illusion, Roly Poly only saw the same fried chicken and tears shone in his eyes. He eximed, ¡°Zhao Yao! You are so good to me!¡±

    Zhao Yao patted Roly Poly on his head before Roly Poly started gobbling down the chicken. Zhao Yao chuckled and whispered, ¡°No more leftover.¡±

    After feeding Roly Poly, Zhao Yao decided toe up with new applications for his power.

    He had effectively used the power of illusion in his caf¨¦. However, he had only treated extradimensional belly as a storage space.

    Zhao Yao switched to Dust Ball¡¯s power and focused all his energy on his extradimensional belly.

    After the month of training, Zhao Yao could urately detect the position of the items in his belly.

    However, with the additional power of Suck Me In, Zhao Yao could urately picture the entire situation within his extradimensional belly when he concentrated.

    He could focus his attention and transported his body to a specific location within his extradimensional belly.

    Byparing the object¡¯s size in his stomach and their actual size in his extradimensional belly, Zhao Yao finally understood how big this dimension was.

    ¡°It is 10 meters in length, 10 meters in width and 3 meters in height.¡± Zhao Yao shut his eyes and started his mental calction, ¡°This trantes to a room of about one hundred square meters.¡±

    ¡°Hmm, I¡¯ll dispose of all the rubbish in this space. Then I¡¯ll get a giant container to store all the food and necessities inside them. This means I won¡¯t have to worry about them floating away!

    I can even put small boxes or shelves in the container and fix them in a specific ce.

    This creates a partition where I can put different kind of food and drinks. This is an ideal haven!¡±

    Zhao Yao opened his mouth and swirls of vortex appeared out of it. Suddenly, a shadow made its way out of his mouth.

    Zhao Yao looked at the shadow which crawled out of his mouth, and his eyes widened.

    Dust Ball came crawling out of his mouth and started looking around in a daze.

    Zhao Yao instantly reacted to this strange scene and stammered, ¡°Dust ... Dust Ball? Did youe out from my mouth after you used Suck Me In?¡±

    Dust Ball replied with a nod. She continued, ¡°It seemed like I can choose toe out from your side when I¡¯m inside the extradimensional belly.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes glimmered as he mumbled, ¡°I¡¯ve thought about this before. This means it¡¯s possible for us to establish a stable connection between the both of us. Regardless who absorbed the object, the other person could also expel the same item because we share the same extradimensional belly.

    With the power of Suck Me In, we could instantly teleport to each other¡¯s position.

    This is great!¡±

    Zhao Yao knew that this meant that extradimensional belly had be the most potent escaping tool. Not only could he hide inside, but he could also escape to where Dust Ball was.

    He instructed Dust Ball to try again, and it seeded. However, he realized that Dust Ball could only escape from his side when Zhao Yao was using Dust Ball¡¯s power. If Zhao Yao was using Elizabeth or Matcha¡¯s power, Dust Ball could not flee from Zhao Yao¡¯s mouth.

    Zhao Yao scratched his chin and considered, ¡°This is because I cannot activate the cats¡¯ power simultaneously. This is inevitable. However, this ability is already strong enough in its current state.¡±

    Next, Zhao Yao immediately went online to get some canned food, biscuits, mineral water, and energy bar for his haven. He also ordered shelves and some machinery to fasten the shelves in ce. Thest item he got was the container which would house everything that he had bought.

    He nned to absorb everything in tomorrow night and organized his temporary home.

    After ordering everything he needed, something shed into Zhao Yao¡¯s mind.

    ¡°Since I¡¯ve alreadypleted the monthly mission forst month, this means that I can spend the money on whatever I want.¡± Zhao Yao immediately opened his WeChat app and sent a RMB 2,000 red packet to Shi Yu.

    Next, he sent another RMB 500 red packet to Matcha, aka The Strongest Luban.

    Even though Zhao Yao did not promise Shi Yu any sorts of mary reward beforehand, he still felt indebted to her for all that she did the previous month.

    ¡°Oh, I¡¯ve almost forgotten about themission for the cats. Let me calcte ...¡±

    ...

    ¡°Hey, is this Shi Yu? How¡¯s everything? Are you free this Saturday for a team bonding meal?¡±

    ¡°Hi Inspector Ho, I¡¯m so sorry, but I am busy throughout the entire day and won¡¯t be able to make it.¡± Shi Yu replied coolly; she continued, ¡°Could you kindly stop calling my Shi Yu because I don¡¯t think we¡¯re that close.¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ll be closer if you join us for our gatherings,¡± Inspector Ho chuckled. Suddenly, his tone grew serious, and he said, ¡°Is there anything weird going on at Zhao Yao¡¯s side?¡±

    ¡°Hmm, the cat caf¨¦ is doing very well, and he seems happy these few days,¡± Shi Yu replied. She recalled something important and continued, ¡°As for the extraordinary thing which happened in the caf¨¦st week, I have already reported to you in the email.¡±

    ¡°Hmm, the power of transfiguration and illusion? That¡¯s a vital piece of information.¡± Inspector Ho¡¯s impression of Zhao Yao changed slightly as he thought, ¡°Illusion? Maybe hisbat power was not as strong as we previously imagined.¡±

    Suddenly, Shi Yu interrupted Inspector Ho¡¯s train of thought and said, ¡°Inspector Ho, how about my wages for thest month?¡±

    ¡°Oh, there are some budgetary constraints in our department. I have applied to the higher-ups, and you should receive it soon. Don¡¯t worry my dear Shi Yu, just be patient.¡±

    Shi Yu instantly ended the call and saw the notifications on her WeChat. However, she chose to ignore them all. Perhaps it was due to the effect of Celestial Beats, her skin had improved, and she looked prettier than ever. Many male customers in the caf¨¦ tried to woo her, and she was sick of all their incessant pestering.

    Suddenly, her phone vibrated, and there was a new notification on WeChat. She took a nce and saw a red packet from Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Oh, Zhao Yao gave me a red packet? Did the sun rise from the west?¡± Shi Yu tapped on the red packet and realized that it contained RMB 2,000. She was shocked by the sum and replied instantly, ¡°Who is this?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m Zhao Yao.¡±

    ¡°Who am I, then?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re Xiao Shi Yu. What¡¯s wrong, what happened?¡±

    ¡°And what¡¯s our rtionship?¡±

    ¡°We used to be ssmates, and now we are colleagues. What the hell happened to you?¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao lips curled with disgust as he exited the chat with Shi Yu. He mumbled, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with this woman?¡± He had just finished giving out themission to his supercats since he had promised them amission of RMB 1 for each customer they entertained.

    Instantly, he heard the cheers from Matcha which erupted from the balcony.

    ¡°Long live Zhao Yao! Long live Zhao Yao!¡± Matcha opened the red packet and ascended his massage throne. His paws darted around the phone screen as he eximed, ¡°I finally got the skin that I have always been waiting for!¡±

    When Matcha pressed the button to purchase the skin, shivers went down his spine. He thought, ¡°Finally the skin belongs to me after the past month of hard work at the caf¨¦.¡± Naturally, the first thing he did was to brag on WeChat and ...

    Matcha searched for Chubby Luban Assassin contact on WeChat and sent a screenshot of his newly bought skin.

    ...

    Fish Ball, the American Shorthair with ck stripes and grey fur, sat on top of the toilet bowl. He had carefully ced his phone on a stool in front of him.

    A loud ssh was followed by a moan from Fish Ball. His entire body shook gently.

    He stood up and was getting ready to leave the toilet.

    Suddenly, memories of how Xiao Yu went berserk the previous time he forgot to flush the toilet bowl flooded his mind. Fish Ball shook like a leaf. He immediately turned around and flushed for a good 10 seconds.

    ¡°Hmm, actually why am I even using a toilet bowl? Cats aren¡¯t supposed to use them!¡± Fish Ball grumbled until he suddenly remembered Xiao Yu¡¯s words.

    ...

    ¡°Hey, aren¡¯t you a supercat with intelligence? From now onwards, you will not use the litter box and will only use the toilet bowl.¡±

    ¡°Why?¡± Fish Ball asked before continuing, ¡°Isn¡¯t it natural for cats to excrete into the sand and bury their feces underneath the sand?¡±

    ¡°However, you are no ordinary cat. You have intelligence. Don¡¯t you feel ashamed to have someone cleaning your shit?¡± Xiao Yu replied with a look of disdain. ¡°Furthermore, buying cat sand every week is significantly more expensive than the water used to flush away your shit.¡±

    Fish Ball¡¯s jaw dropped as he tried to argue his way out of using toilet bowl, ¡°But I¡¯m already used to using sand. If your parents find out that I¡¯m using a toilet bowl, they would realize that something strange had happened.¡±

    Fish Ball was still a cat and was extremely particr about the position of his toilet. He had already adopted a fixed toilet routine and was unwilling to budge. Now, it¡¯s not just a change of location, but a change from sand to toilet bowl!

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about my parents¡¯ side. I have done my online research, and there are others who have trained their cats to use the toilet bowl. I would just im that I had sessfully potty trained you and they would be delighted!¡±

    ¡°But ... But ... But!¡±

    ¡°There is no but! My parents are so busy at work, and I¡¯m only one who can afford to clean up after your shit. Do you think that I¡¯m happy doing this dirty job? I¡¯m on the verge of death every time I clean up after you shit!¡±

    Xiao Yu nced at Fish Ball and pointed at the cat using the toilet bowl in a Youtube video, ¡°I think the ability to use a toilet bowl is so much better than your so-called superpower.¡±

    Fish Ball could not be bothered by Xiao Yu¡¯s snide remarks and thought, ¡°Next time, I¡¯ll get the husky to pee and shit on your bed. Then you will know who the smarter animal around here is.¡±

    Fish Ball shook his head as he woke up from his daydream. He slowly retreated to the bedroom.

    Even though there had been many changes, which he detested, being made to his life after Xiao Yu realized that he was a supercat. The silver lining was that Xiao Yu gave him her old phone, and he did not have to use her phone secretly.

    Suddenly, he received a WeChat notification. He tapped on the notification and saw the screenshot. He stared at the screen as a muscle in his mouth twitched.

    ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°This guy bought the coveted skin? Is this a joke? He is so rich?¡±

    Fish Ball stared at the message with envy. To think that Matcha even bothered sending him a private message to gloat made Fish Ball furious. He grabbed the phone and dashed towards his owner, Xiao Yu.

    He squatted in front of her, and a string of words appeared on the phone screen: ¡°Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, look! Some other cat had already bought that skin!¡±

    Xiao Yu nced at Fish Ball and scoffed, ¡°I¡¯m sure the money was earned using the cat¡¯s superpower. Your ability cannot even earn me a single cent. But I still bother taking care of you and lending you my phone and wifi to use. You should be grateful and stopining.¡±

    ¡°Why are you like this?¡±

    Fish Ball began howling as he failed to get his way. He continued typing, ¡°But that nasty cat even bothered sending me a private message to gloat!¡± Suddenly, the phone vibrated as he was speaking and Fish Ball lowered his head to take a look.

    ¡°Are you jealous? Let me show you my bank ount bnce.¡±

    Matcha tantly sent a screenshot of his bank ount bnce to spite Fish Ball. Fish Ball saw the bnce with more than RMB 1,000 and became extremely agitated.

    Xiao Yu craned her neck forward andmented, ¡°Hmm, this cat friend of yours is really quite an a*sshole.¡±

    Fish Ball nodded his head and continued, ¡°I¡¯m sure he just got lucky which exins why he is so rich.¡±

    ¡°D*mn it! I must also find some way to buy that skin. No, I¡¯ll buy two skins!¡±

    With that thought in mind, Fish Ball immediately went online and started searching. Soon, he began jumping around excitedly and typed a string of message.

    ¡°Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu! Look! There¡¯s some online promotion where you get 1000 free diamonds for 500 diamonds purchased. It evenes with a free skin!¡±

    Xiao Yu rolled her eyes when she saw how excited Fish Ball was. She replied, ¡°Fool! This is obviously a scam! I didn¡¯t expect a supercat to fall for such a stupid trick.¡±

    Fish Ball did not believe her words as he scrolled down to the rows ofments left by previous buyers. All of them seemed satisfied with the purchase. He shoved the screen in Xiao Yu¡¯s face.

    Xiao Yu gave a sharp reply, ¡°These replies are obviously fake. Anyments which reflected the truth would have been taken down by the seller.¡±

    ¡°So this is all a conspiracy? I didn¡¯t expect myself to fall into this trap.

    Even a cat of my intelligence could have gotten tricked by this scammer which means ...¡± Fish Ball licked his paws as an evil n appeared in his head. He started sending a message to Matcha, ¡°Stupid cat! Who buys these skins from the official site?¡±

    Matcha replied, ¡°Are you jealous?¡±

    Fish Ball typed, ¡°Stupid cat! There are employees from Moonton who wants to earn some quick bucks and did a promotional gimmick. When I buy 500 diamonds, I get 1000 free diamonds and a few limited edition collectibles.¡±

    Matcha replied, ¡°This is not possible. I don¡¯t believe your words.¡±

    Fish Ball left the chat and took a few screenshots from the inte.

    The screenshot showed the promotional deal which Fish Ball mentioned and the rows ofments left behind by satisfied customers. It seemed authentic.

    Matcha¡¯s mouth fell open when he saw the screenshot ¡°Is this for real? You buy 500 diamonds, and you get 1000 diamonds for free?¡±

    Fish Ball replied, ¡°I told you that these people worked there. They can just manipte the numbers by editing the codes. It¡¯s as good as stealing theirpany¡¯s product and selling them. Obviously, it will be cheap.¡±

    Matcha replied instantly, ¡°How did you manage to get this deal, please tell me!¡±

    ¡°Why do I have to tell you? You did not seem to believe me previously.¡± Fish Ball typed.

    Matcha sent an emoji of him kneeling down and continued, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. You must tell me! I¡¯ll even give you aplete skin set!¡±

    Fish Ball¡¯s lips curled into a smile and typed, ¡°Never mind, you can transfer the money over to my ount, and I¡¯ll help you buy the diamonds.¡±

    Soon, Matcha sent another message and said, ¡°I don¡¯t think I can transfer the money over today. I have exceeded the daily cap.¡±

    Fish Ball¡¯s eyebrows tightened and thought, ¡°I didn¡¯t know there was such a thing as a cap to the daily transfer amount.¡±

    ¡°Can you transfer the money over tomorrow?¡±

    ¡°Yes, I could do that. But I have another solution.¡±

    ¡°And what is that?¡±

    ¡°To increase the cap on my daily transfer amount, I need RMB 50. If you transfer the RMB 50 to me, I can increase the cap and transfer the money for the diamonds along with the RMB 50 you lent me back to you.¡±

    Fish Ball knew that Xiao Yu just started showering and would take quite some time before she was done. He looked at her phone and replied, ¡°Wait for me.¡±

    ¡°I think I remember what Xiao Yu¡¯s password is ...¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao was shocked to see Matcha jumping for joy as his paws darted on the phone screen. He thought, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect them to get so happy with this small money.¡±

    Zhao Yao turned his head and found out that it was not just Matcha. Both Elizabeth and Roly Poly were grinning from ear to ear. Their tiny paws started to swipe their phone. It was evident that they were thinking of ways to earn their hard-earned money.

    Elizabeth looked at Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! Can you rmend me a good movie or drama series? I haven¡¯t managed to find one on my own.¡±

    There were too many movies and drama series online. After finishing Autumn in my Heart, Elizabeth randomly selected a few films, but they were all a disappointment.

    Zhao Yao scratched his chin and asked, ¡°A good movie or drama series. What genre do you prefer?¡±

    Elizabeth immediately stood on her feet, and a sweet expression appeared on her face. Her eyes beamed with excitement as she said, ¡°Obviously, it¡¯s romance! It must have a happy ending and must not be a tragedy¡± She nced at Zhao Yao with suspicion and continued, ¡°The actress must be beautiful, and the actor must be handsome ...¡±

    ¡°Alright,¡± Zhao Yao took Elizabeth¡¯s irrational criteria into consideration and said, ¡°I suggest Meteor Garden.¡±

    Elizabeth¡¯s eyes widened, and she replied, ¡°Meteor Garden? Is it a love story?¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not a tragedy right?¡±

    ¡°Nope, it¡¯s aedy.¡±

    ¡°Does the female character die?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve already told you it¡¯s aedy.¡±

    Elizabeth squinted her eyes and asked, ¡°How about the male character?¡±

    Zhao Yao replied patiently, ¡°I¡¯m not lying to you, just enjoy this drama.¡±

    Elizabeth was both curious and skeptical when she opened the application on her phone. Spirit cat had also floated behind her. He thought, ¡°Meteor Garden? ording to Ho Hao Cang, our superpowers are rted to a meteor shower, and itnded in America.

    Does this mean that this drama is connected to the source of our power?¡±

    He stared at the screen of the phone and thought, ¡°I must watch this to find out the truth!¡±

    Zhao Yao suddenly recalled that he had left out one person ¨C Baiquan.

    Just when he was about to send the red packet via WeChat, he stopped and left the application.

    He thought, ¡°I remember Baiquan was busy with his streaming channel. Aspared to giving him a red packet via WeChat, I¡¯m sure he would be happy if he received a donation during his streams.¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately tranted his thoughts into actions. He downloaded a streaming app and began searching for Baiquan¡¯s channel. However, he had no idea what was the name of the channel.

    ¡°Woah, even this type of content is allowed? I thought there would be someone monitoring and preventing people from exposing their dick?¡±

    ¡°Her twerking still has some work to be done.¡±

    ¡°Hmm, I¡¯m quite sure this is not the same person as the one on the thumbnail.¡±

    Zhao Yao began his search for Baiquan¡¯s channel as he swiped from one channel to another. He finally found it after one hour of swiping.

    Baiquan was in the midst of performing a magic trick. He ced a coin in a small box. However, the box was empty when he used the camera to scan its content.

    ¡°Hmm, so Baiquan is using the power of invisibility for magic. It seems like he is doing quite well.¡± Zhao Yao scratched his chin as he bought some credits from the streaming site. Instantly, he saw an ongoing promotion for credits.

    ¡°I need to spend RMB 5,000 to enjoy the promotion?¡±

    ¡°Maybe I should just get it so that I can support his streaming more frequently.¡±

    ¡°I also need to change my username so that Baiquan can recognize me the moment he sees it.¡±

    He instantly changed his username to ¡°Cat caf¨¦¡¯s Kris Zhao¡±, and he bought RMB 5,000 worth of credits. Zhao Yao decided to donate RMB 200 when Baiquan reached the climax of his performance.

    ¡°Hmm, I guess RMB 200 should be more than enough.¡±

    Just when he was about to press the button, an earthquake struck again.

    Zhao Yao dropped his phone because of the earthquake.

    Zhao Yao shook his head helplessly as he picked up the phone after the earthquake had subsided.

    Zhao Yao screamed when he saw the information on his phone¡¯s screen. He held his head as he fought back the tears which were shimmering in his eyes.

    Because of the earthquake, Zhao Yao had identally changed the amount he donated to RMB 5,000 when he dropped his phone.

    All RMB 5,000 worth of credits which he had bought went to Baiquan in an instant.

    Zhao Yao buried his head in his arms, and he felt a searing pain in his heart. He thought he was going to get a heart attack.

    ¡°Stupid earthquake cat, you made me lose RMB 5,000.¡± Zhao Yao was both furious at the cat and disappointed with his carelessness. Meanwhile, Baiquan was jumping for joy when he saw the donation which he had received.

    ¡°Thank you, Cat caf¨¦¡¯s Kris Zhao for your RMB 5,000 donation.¡±

    ¡°Erm, are you boss? Thank you for your donation, thank you for supporting my stream.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead furrowed as he exited the streaming application and went into WeChat. He tapped on Baiquan¡¯s contact.

    ¡°It was an honest mistake. Maybe Baiquan would understand and return the money to me after my exnation.¡±

    Just when Zhao Yao was about to send his exnation, Baiquan was already bragging on his stream and had sent a message to Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Boss, were you the one who donated RMB 5,000?¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°Yes ...¡±

    Baiquan typed, ¡°Thank you so much for your generosity, boss!¡±

    Just when Zhao Yao was about to send the message to exin that it was all a mistake, Baiquan had already sent another message. He said, ¡°Boss, I¡¯m touched by your kind gesture. At first, I thought you were someone who only cared about money. I¡¯m sorry to have mistaken you for a miser.

    To tell you the truth, I felt lost the past month. However, I now understand my purpose. I¡¯m going to devote all my energy to fight on the front line of hell.¡±

    The corner of Zhao Yao¡¯s lips drooped as he deleted the message that he intended to send. He replied helplessly, ¡°As long as you are happy.¡±

    Zhao Yao ced his phone on the table and stared at the ceiling in disbelief.

    ¡°My heart hurts so badly.¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao dragged himself out of bed the second morning and gently kicked Matcha. He said, ¡°Wake up, it¡¯s time for work.¡±

    Zhao Yao could not find Mango when they reached the caf¨¦.

    Zhao Yao had brought all his strays cats for sterilization the past month. Now, Mango was the only one left.

    After his period of estrus, it was time to bring Mango for his sterilization.

    The cat caf¨¦ was not an ideal ce to quarantine the cats and allow them to recuperate. Hence, Zhao Yao had left the sterilized cats at Starry Starry Pet Hospital to recover.

    Today was finally the day to sterilize Mango.

    Matcha, Elizabeth, Roly Poly and Dust Ball surrounded him. He just looked at them innocently and did not know the fate that would befall him. Mango had to fast before his surgery. Hence, all he knew at that moment was that he was famished. He could not even go to the toilet with these four cats surrounding him.

    Matcha patted Mango with tears shimmering in his eyes; he said, ¡°Brother, do not worry. You will not have any more temptations or urges after this.¡± Matcha could not help but whispered, ¡°He is so pitiful. He will never have his balls ever again.¡±

    Roly Poly replied matter-of-factly, ¡°I mean Mango isn¡¯t like the 4 of us. He would be in agony during his period of estrus.¡±

    Roly Poly nodded his head and continued, ¡°You are still too young to understand this. As a cat who had gone through it, let me exin it to you. During estrus, you would feel extremely ufortable. You would be restless when you fail to mate. Even if you seed to mate, you would still feel uneasy.¡±

    ¡°What do you know?¡± Matcha retorted, ¡°Have you ever been sterilized? You don¡¯t understand the fear when you are just about to be sterilized.¡± He pped Roly Poly¡¯s wobbly belly and continued, ¡°Look at you! You¡¯re so fat, and I¡¯m sure you haven¡¯t seen your own balls in forever.¡±

    Roly Poly was stunned by Matcha¡¯s words and could not utter a single word. He looked to Dust Ball for help and said, ¡°Sister, what do you think? Isn¡¯t sterilization beneficial for cats without superpower?¡±

    Dust Ball raised her legs and started scratching herself. After a moment of deliberation, she replied, ¡°It¡¯s better for Mango to be sterilized. If not, the entire ce would reek of his urine.¡±

    ¡°What do you know?¡± Matcha retorted again, ¡°The testicles are the essence of a male cat. It carries the hope of a future generation.¡± He started hugging Mango and cried hysterically. He shouted, ¡°You will no longer have your balls from today onwards. You will neither be a male cat nor a female cat. You will be without a gender.¡±

    Suddenly, Matcha stood up and licked his paws. Then, he reached out his other paw towards Mango¡¯s testicles and eximed, ¡°I cannot let you get sterilized before you learn what it means to be a male cat!¡±

    ¡°Fool! What are you doing?¡± Elizabeth was stunned by the scene which unfolded.

    Matcha turned his head and revealed a devilish smile, ¡°I¡¯m letting Mango understand what it means to be a male cat. As an elder brother, this is the only thing I can do for him.¡±

    ¡°Fool!¡± A glimmer of red light shed across Elizabeth¡¯s eyes, and she had taken control of Matcha¡¯s body. She even used his own paws to p his head.

    Matcha managed to react by freezing time. It escaped from Elizabeth¡¯s control and started swiping across her body.

    The two cats were embroiled in a heated battle. Elizabeth used her power to control Matcha while Matcha used his to retaliate against her.

    Elizabeth managed to gain an advantage using her bigger size and strength. She was biting on Matcha¡¯s neck and started educating him, ¡°You are such a fool! Try to recall the times before you awakened your power and look at the cats around us. They do not experience the ecstasy that we do while mating. They mate because they feel ufortable and it is a natural biological mechanism. If they are not sterilized, they would feel lethargic and are vulnerable to various illnesses. I¡¯ve seen too much when I was in the ragdoll cattery.¡±

    Elizabeth released Matcha from her grips after saying her piece. Matcha slowly got to his feet as Elizabeth walked away. Matcha lifted an eyebrow and was confused by Elizabeth¡¯s response. He looked at Roly Poly and said, ¡°Don¡¯t you guys every y with yourself?¡±

    However, Roly Poly was not paying attention to Matcha. Roly Poly seemed preupied with his thoughts. He thought, ¡°Was there a difference after awakening his power?¡±

    At the same time, Zhao Yao had walked towards Mango which was surrounded by the four supercats. Zhao Yao smiled and asked, ¡°Still bidding farewell to your friends? Don¡¯t worry; I¡¯ve told the doctor to use the best-imported drugs for your surgery. If everything goes ording to n, you will be back in the caf¨¦ in 2 or 3 days¡¯ time.

    Matcha licked the top of Mango¡¯s head and said, ¡°Good luck, you will be Eunuch Mango from now onwards.¡±

    Mango remained as clueless as ever. He had no idea what was going to happen next.

    He only got a little worried when Zhao Yao picked him up and brought him outside the caf¨¦.

    Zhao Yao ced Mango in his cat bag and drove towards Starry Starry Pet Hospital in his Panamera. Today, the supercats would be under Baiquan¡¯s charge.

    After Zhao Yao started driving for a few minutes, a vein popped out in his neck, and his face was scrunched up. There were even some weird noisesing from his stomach.

    He touched his stomach and mumbled, ¡°This is not good at all.¡±

    Zhao Yao suddenly felt an intense urge to shit. Before he managed to brace himself for it, the pain which came along during a stomachache overwhelmed him in an instant.

    ¡°F*ck!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s faced turned pale like paper. He immediately stopped his car at the side of the road. He clutched onto his stomach; his entire forehead was already drenched in sweat.

    ¡°What the f*ck, this is too strong.¡±

    His right arm was trembling as he tried to turn down the air conditioning. This made him felt a little better.

    ¡°Control, I have to control.¡±

    Anyone who ever had to control their urge to shit would understand that the pressure was not constant. But instead, it was like a wave with ebbs and flows. Based on his twenty odd years of life experience, Zhao Yao wanted to hold it in until this peak had passed before he went straight to the hospital. He would release it when he passed Mango over to the hospital.

    Just when he thought the pain had subsided to a level which was bearable, an even more frightening burst of pain exploded within his intestines.

    Zhao Yao rammed his head into the steering wheel repeatedly, believing that it could somehow alleviate the pain. However, he felt like there was a volcano eruption in his stomach and he could not control any longer.

    ¡°I cannot do this. If I control any longer, I might lose control and make a mess.¡±

    Zhao Yao raised his head and tightened his grip on the steering wheel. He mumbled, ¡°I have to find a toilet quickly.¡±

    He turned on his GPS and located the nearest toilet to his current position.

    .

    ¡°What? 10 kilometers? Are you kidding me?¡±

    The waves in his stomach continually smashed against the side of his stomach. His face was twisted, and he was paler than ever.

    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me I¡¯ll have to do it in the bushes. No.¡± Zhao Yao started searching for the nearest KFC restaurant in his GPS.

    Based on his twenty odd years of life experience, there would always be a toilet in the KFC restaurant.

    ¡°2 kilometers?¡±

    Zhao Yao rammed his foot against the elerator, and his Panamera went flying towards the KFC.

    Five minutester, the Panamera was stopped along the road outside KFC. Zhao Yao had already dashed out and sprinted towards the toilet.

    However, he remembered Mango was left behind in the car and came back to fetch him in the cat bag. He immediately went back to KFC.

    When he took a step into the toilet, an unbearable stench flooded his nostrils.

    Looking at the unknown liquid on the floor coupled with the stench permeating in the air, Zhao Yao knew that this toilet was not in the best condition.

    However, Zhao Yao had to shit, and there was no way out of it.

    If he did notplete it now, he would never make it to Starry Starry Pet Hospital.

    The weird sound erupted from his stomach again as his face turned a few shades paler.

    ¡°No, I can¡¯t take it anymore.¡±

    Zhao Yao could not control his body as it started bending forward on its own ord. He tried to enter the cubicle with the squatting toilet.

    The toilet in KFC had two squatting toilets, but both were upied. They were locked from the inside.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to explode!¡±

    Zhao Yao started punching against the wall. His eyes were popping out of their sockets. Veins started to pop up all over his body.

    ¡°I cannot control for much longer. I¡¯m dying.¡±

    Mango was sittingfortably inside the cat bag and was looking around, surveying the surrounding in the toilet.

    Suddenly, another strange sound erupted from his stomach. Zhao Yao stretched open his mouth, as his tensed up fingers ran along the wall. His body was scrunched up in a deep squat position.

    ¡°I almost died, it almost came out.¡±

    ¡°This has to stop.¡± Zhao Yao looked at the two doors which separated him from the toilet bowl. He apologized before hended his kick on one of the doors. He immediately activated his power to stop time.

    ...

    Lin Chen, Inspector Ho¡¯s subordinate, was smoking while settling his business inside one of the cubicles.

    He looked at the information on his phone with his brows snapped together, ¡°Isn¡¯t the cat supposed to be hiding in this KFC outlet? I¡¯ve beening here for the past few days but have yet to spot it. Don¡¯t tell me it has gotten away.¡±

    At this moment, Lin Chen heard the banging from outside and chucked. He said, ¡°Bro, chill. I¡¯ll be out soon.¡±

    He felt that he had almostpleted his business and stretched forward to reach for toilet paper. Before he even touched the toilet paper, a loud bang erupted from the door in front of him.

    Next, there was a loud howling sound, and he felt a cold wind in his lower body. When he had reacted to it, he found himself squatting outside the cubicle.

    Lin Chen was shocked beyond words.

    When he realized that he was squatting outside the cubicle, his first reaction was to stand and put on his pants. However, he noticed the problem if he did that.

    ¡°No, I have yet to clean my butt. If I wear my pants now ...¡± Lin Chen turned around and looked at the cubicle which he formerly upied. The door was locked. It sounded like someone had set off firecrackers inside the cubicle.

    ¡°This guy,¡± Lin Chen¡¯s eyes seethed with anger, ¡°He definitely has superpower.¡± He wanted to dash in so badly and teach that guy a lesson. However, he looked at the state which he was in and knew that there was something more urgent to attend to.

    ¡°Bro,¡± He knocked on the door while he tried his best to suppress his anger, ¡°Can you pass me some toilet paper?¡±

    The person inside handed him one square of toilet paper.

    Lin Chen was annoyed and asked, ¡°Why just one square of toilet paper?¡±

    Zhao Yao retorted, ¡°There are only five squares left, I¡¯m afraid I don¡¯t have enough myself, that¡¯s why I gave you only 1.¡±

    A vein popped out in Lin Chen¡¯s forehead, and he said, ¡°But one is not enough for me.¡±

    ¡°I watched an interview with Jackie Chan, and he said that he only used two squares of toilet paper every single time. You should learn from him.¡±

    Lin Chen was furious and retorted, ¡°He said that he tore off two squares each time, not two squares in total. How am I supposed to clean my butt with 1 square?¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°Isn¡¯t that enough? I remembered watching on television that someone managed to fold one square of toilet paper eight times. This means you get eight chances. Why are you so greedy?¡±

    ¡°I must remain calm. The number one rule for all fights is to remain calm,¡± Lin Chen gritted his teeth and tried his best topose himself. He repeated, ¡°But I¡¯m the one who brought the paper in.¡±

    A 1 dor coin rolled out from below the door, ¡°That should be enough.¡±

    ¡°This guy!¡± Lin Chen¡¯s lips drew into a snarl as he picked up the 1 square of toilet paper and stared at it helplessly, ¡°Wait till I finish cleaning my butt.¡±

    Just when Lin Chen was about to finish cleaning, Mango which was hidden inside Zhao Yao¡¯s cat bag squinted his eyes and nibbled on his lower lip. Mango felt extremely ufortable.

    The next moment, Lin Chen clutched his stomach and mumbled, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me there¡¯s more.¡±

    Chills went down Lin Chen¡¯s spine, and he experienced goosebumps all over his body.

    ¡°No, this cannot be controlled by willpower alone,¡± Lin Chen frantically knocked on the cubicle¡¯s door and shouted, ¡°Get out now! Didn¡¯t I enter the toilet first? Get the hell out of my cubicle right now!¡±

    Zhao Yao paid no attention to Lin Chen¡¯s demand and had no intention to open the door.

    ¡°Don¡¯t me me!¡± Lin Chen squinted his eyes and rammed his left leg against the door.

    The door swung opened with a loud bang. However, something happened in an instant, and he was squatting outside the cubicle like what happened previously. He turned around to the door behind him and saw the door hanging loosely on its frame. However, the door remained firmly shut.

    ¡°What happened?¡± Lin Chen could not believe his eyes and thought, ¡°I¡¯m sure I kicked the door open just now. What exactly happened?¡±

    Sshing sounds continued erupting from that cubicle, and Lin Chen could sense an evil presence inside it.

    Lin Chen¡¯s brows knitted together as he concluded, ¡°This guy has an extremely powerful ability.¡±

    A rumbling sound erupted from Lin Chen¡¯s belly, and his face turned instantly white. He shouted, ¡°It¡¯sing out now!¡±

    In his moment of desperation, Lin Chen¡¯s vision turned blurry for a second.

    During the time freeze, Zhao Yao had wiped off the sweat from his forehead and dered, ¡°Finally done!¡± He looked at Lin Chen who was in so much agony that his entire face was drenched in sweat. Zhao Yao looked at him and smirked, ¡°Can¡¯t you just wait for a short while? Aren¡¯t you embarrassed to call yourself a police officer?¡±

    Zhao Yao had recognized him as the police officer he met during the previous encounter with killer cat.

    Zhao Yao dragged Lin Chen into the cubicle and adjusted him to a squatting position, simr to just now. He carried his cat bag and disabled his power before leaving the toilet.

    When time resumed, Lin Chen found himself squatting in the cubicle. He released his control, and the sshing sound returned. He finally rxed the muscles in his body which stopped him from shitting outside the cubicle.

    ¡°Finally!¡± Just when he thought that all was well, he looked around and eximed, ¡°Did the person use up all the toilet paper?¡±

    Zhao Yao had a spring in his legs as he returned to his Panamera. On the way there, he saw lots of people clutching onto their stomach and were rushing to nearby toilets. This was followed by agonizing cries.

    Zhao Yao turned his head and saw a man lying outside the toilet. Both his legs were close together, and he was shaking like a leaf.

    This was just the beginning. It was dinner time, and there were numerous customers in the restaurant. When Zhao Yao walked past them, he realized that all their faces were ashen and were trembling from head to toe.

    Soon enough, all of them dashed into the toilet like the horde of zombies from The Walking Dead. However, not all of them could control as well as Zhao Yao.

    When Zhao Yao left KFC, there was already a queue to the toilet. Some were squatting on the floor while othersy on the floor, unconscious. Some even leaned against the wall with a look of despair.

    Strange noises erupted from the toilet. An intense stench instantly enveloped the entire restaurant. There were stains on the walls and floor of the bathroom.

    Inside the cubicle, Lin Chen who was busy finding some toilet paper shouted, ¡°Get out! All of you get out!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m a police officer!¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± Zhao Yao was bbergasted by this unbelievable scene. He immediately dashed out of the restaurant.

    This incident was reported on the following day¡¯s news. Even though KFC gave a detailed exnation of the hygiene standards which they adhered to and offered an apology to all affected, their business was still affected. Lin Chen was one of the victims of this incident.

    Zhao Yao knew that logical reasoning could not exin the matter. He knew that there was a supercat behind the entire saga. However, the only cat in the restaurant was Mango which meant ...

    He looked at Mango which was sittingfortably in the bag and asked, ¡°Mango, are you responsible for this?¡±

    Mango did not seem to understand Zhao Yao¡¯s words as he just stared at Zhao Yao with a clueless expression.

    ¡°It cannot talk? Or is it intellectually challenged?¡±

    A line appeared between Zhao Yao¡¯s brows when he suddenly recalled Elizabeth¡¯s introduction of Mango.

    This British Shorthair was somewhat intellectually challenged either because of his genes or something happened during puberty.

    No matter what, Zhao Yao could not bring Mango for sterilization today. He had to bring him back and observed him carefully.

    Zhao Yao only managed to understand Mango¡¯s ability after a few days of close observation.

    Whenever Mango tried to control his shit, the animals surrounding him, including humans, would be affected. They would have an intense urge to shit as well, as though they could do it on Mango¡¯s behalf.

    If Mango were not controlling his shit, he would not have any special power and would be simr to any other cats.

    Matcha saw Zhao Yao returning with Mango in his arms and asked, ¡°What happened? Aren¡¯t you bringing him for sterilization?¡±

    Zhao Yao gave a lopsided grin and replied, ¡°I think this guy has also awakened his superpower and it¡¯s an extremely troublesome power. I¡¯ll have to bring him home for further observation.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Matcha could not believe his ears and shouted, ¡°This guy? He cannot even speak and even peed all over the caf¨¦ during estrus.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Elizabeth observed the British Shorthair in front of her andmented, ¡°It might be because of his extremely low IQ. Do you remember the incident where Mango peed into your food bowl? I have suspected that Mango still cannot remember the location of the toilet.

    The reason he peed all over the caf¨¦ was not that of estrus but because he is too stupid.¡±

    ¡°He is too stupid?¡± Matcha was left speechless by Mango. He asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t the awakening supposed to increase our intelligence?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid if the intelligence was too low to start with, the awakening would not have much visible effects on it.¡± Elizabeth squinted her eyes and believed that was what happened to Mango.

    ¡°Anyway, I¡¯ll be bringing Mango back home,¡± Zhao Yao scratched his chin and continued, ¡°Please keep an eye out for him. Stop him from peeing all over the apartment.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t mind having one more intellectually challenged cat at home,¡± Matcha smirked and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we will take care of him.¡±

    The remaining supercats nodded their heads in agreement as they could empathize with Mango¡¯s situation. Matcha jumped and returned to his massage throne. He took out his phone and noticed the Wechat messageing from Chubby Luban Assassin.

    ¡°Are you there?¡±

    Matcha replied, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    Fish Ball retorted, ¡°Didn¡¯t you promise me to return my RMB 50 after you increase your daily transactional cap? When do you intend to return me my money?¡±

    Matcha replied nonchntly, ¡°Haven¡¯t you received the money? I¡¯ve already transferred it to you.¡±

    Fish Ball took Matcha¡¯s words for it and replied, ¡°Oh, but I still haven¡¯t received it yet.¡±

    Matcha replied, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll help you check.¡±

    After the 5 minutes which seemed like an eternity for Fish Ball ...

    Matcha typed, ¡°Oh no! it seems like your ount was suspected for moneyundering. They are going to freeze it.¡±

    Fish Ball jumped in fear, and his tiny paws flew around the screen, ¡°What? No! This ount belongs to my owner and not me. If she finds out that I¡¯ve been using her money, she will kill me!¡±

    Matcha replied, ¡°I can¡¯t help you. I suspect someone had misappropriated your owner¡¯s ount. You have to inform her about it.¡±

    ¡°No, no, no! If she finds out that I¡¯ve used her Alipay secretly, I will be dead!¡±

    ¡°How about this, you can transfer RMB 200 as a security deposit. This would stop them from freezing your ount. If they checked and realized that there¡¯s nothing wrong with your owner¡¯s ount, they would return you the RMB 200.¡±

    Fish Ball heaved a sigh of relief and replied, ¡°Oh, thank God. It would be disastrous if the ount got frozen.¡± Meanwhile, heartless Matcha had returned to a game of Mobile Legends.

    Spirit cat which floated behind Matcha witnessed the entire dialogue between him and Fish Ball. He could not help but whisper, ¡°Is Chubby Luban Assassin a r*tard?¡±

    Spirit cat did not believe Elizabeth¡¯s words when she imed that it was possible for a supercat to be intellectually challenged. However, this incident had radically changed his opinion on it.

    ¡°It¡¯s not just Mango; there are other supercats which are also intellectually challenged.¡±

    At this moment, the entire building experienced a massive tremor. It was as if the floor which they stood on had turned into cotton. Everyone lost their bnce, and the furniture started sliding around the apartment.

    Zhao Yao patted his chest after the tremors had subsided. He mumbled, ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why is there another earthquake?¡±

    The vein on Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead popped out again at the thought of an earthquake. Recently, the earthquakes were gone from Jiangmen city for a period. He thought the cat behind it had been captured.

    However, the frequency of earthquakes had increased the past month. The pricing houses in Jiangmen city had plummeted, and Zhao Yao¡¯s apartment value had dropped to one-third of its original price.

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao heard a ring in his head, and the contents of his mission panel had changed again.

    Mission: Stop the earthquake!

    Objective: Find the cat causing the earthquake and stop it from causing further earthquakes.

    Reward: 300 experience points

    ¡°This mission!¡± 2 beams of light shot out from Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes as he eximed, ¡°This is right up my alley! With my ¡®2X Exp Card¡¯, the points earned would be 600. It¡¯s time for me to put an end to this nonsense!¡±

    However, Zhao Yao knew that he could not just leave his house now and start finding this cat without a n. The cat responsible for the earthquakes had a massive bounty on it. Even without producing a magnitude 8.0 or 9.0 earthquake, it could already destroy a country by creating a few minor tremors a day. The country¡¯s economy would be affected, and it would copse.

    Many people must have started searching for this deadly cat.

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid even people like Ho Hao Cang and Inspector Ho had started their search.¡± Zhao Yao clutched his head and thought, ¡°It¡¯s also about time to settle my business with Ho Hao Cang. With my perfect illusion, I could easily disguise as someone else as long as I¡¯m not caught on security cameras.¡±

    ¡°I also have my upgraded extradimensional belly!¡± Zhao Yao opened his mouth and had already absorbed a nket into his belly.

    After a few days of experimenting, he found that he could easily control where the object ended up in when they go absorbed. This meant that he could thrust the object into any corner after he had consumed them.

    ¡°If I put a tiny prison cell inside, I could even absorb the enemy and lock him inside the prison cell.¡±

    Hence, Zhao Yao spent the subsequent days collecting information on earthquake cat. He also allocated some time for online shopping to furnish his extradimensional belly with some useful tools.

    ...

    Inside the extradimensional belly, Zhao Yao was floating around in the darkness.

    There were three containers of different colors floating in front of him. All were sealed to prevent their contents from spilling out.

    Zhao Yao was contented with the current state of his extradimensional belly and returned to the real world. He decided to test his ability and reabsorbed himself into it. He had transported himself into one of the containers.

    His mastery of the skill allowed him to do just that.

    ¡°Hmm, I will put food inside the yellow container.¡±

    He took a few packets of instant noodle, canned food and mineral water which he had prepared beforehand and absorbed them into the yellow container. He also consumed a few torchlight and some spare batteries.

    ¡°Hmm, I should also put some cabs inside the container to prevent things from floating around.¡±

    Zhao Yao meticulously measured the dimension of the container and ordered a custom-made cupboard. He would separate the items ording to their function and ce them neatly inside the cupboard.

    Extradimensional belly had turned into an ideal haven.

    Zhao Yao went back to the real world before reabsorbing himself into the blue container.

    He attached a sleeping bag to a rope which was bolted to the edge of the container. This allowed him to rest inside the extradimensional belly.

    ¡°I also need some forms of entertainment. What if I¡¯m stuck inside here for a long time?¡±

    Zhao Yao returned to the real world and prepared a stack of magazines, books and even bought a brand new phone. He had stored millions of games and movies on the phone.

    ¡°Haha, I can buy a game console and arge screen TV if I have spare cash in the future. However, I might need to have a generator in here if I have so much electronics.¡±

    ¡°Oh yes, I also need some weapons! I should get a few baseball bats, a kitchen knife, and even paprika. This would be ideal weapons!¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately went on TaoBao and ordered an assortment of baseball bats and weapons used for self-defense.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s enthusiasm at furnishing his extradimensional belly resembled the enthusiasm he disyed when he built his secret fortress as a kid.

    After furnishing the blue and yellow containers, he was left with the red container.

    This red container would be used to capture his enemies.

    ¡°Hmm, this can definitely be reinforced. Maybe I can add a few traps in it,¡± Zhao Yao thought.

    Zhao Yao¡¯sbat prowess and vitality had reached another peak after he upgraded his cats and fully equipped his extradimensional belly.

    ¡°The mission to stop the cat thief¡¯s organization will expire in a month¡¯s time.¡±

    ¡°I guess I¡¯ll settle Ho Hao Cang first.¡±

    With his mastery over The 5 Senses, he did not have to worry about exposing his identity.

    One night, Zhao Yao decided to bring Matcha and Elizabeth along when he returned to Ho Hao Cang¡¯s mansion.

    However, he found out that he was not home when he got there. After waiting for an entire night, and receiving more than 30 mosquito bites, Hao Cang was still not back.

    ¡°D*mn it, all these fuerdais only know how to have a good time outside and doesn¡¯t even know how to return home at night!¡± Zhao Yao grew inpatient as he frantically scratched his body which was covered in mosquito bites. The thought of just destroying his mansion shed across his head.

    Matcha which was resting inside the cat bag grumbled, ¡°How long more Zhao Yao? I¡¯m about to be crushed to death by this furry fatty!¡±

    Elizabeth immediately retaliated with a tight p on Matcha¡¯s face. She retorted, ¡°How many times must I repeat! I¡¯m fluffy, not fat!¡±

    ¡°Never mind, we¡¯ll go back home first.¡± Zhao Yao gave up and returned home with his dark circles and giant eyebags. He came back the following night, but Ho Hao Cang was still not home.

    He got tired of waiting. By using his power of illusion, Zhao Yao infiltrated his mansion. He only found out that Ho Hao Cang had not been home for two weeks when he eavesdropped on a maids¡¯ conversation. They did not know when he was returning or where he went.

    He also took the cats along with him, and nobody knew their whereabouts.

    ¡°F*ck him, what the hell is he doing! These fuerdais have so much time, and they don¡¯t know how to use it properly by resting at home? They are out all day clubbing and splurging all their money!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes burned with anger as he returned home. He had no choice but to focus all his attention on earthquake cat.

    ¡°Maybe Ho Hao Cang also went out to find the earthquake cat? Never mind, I¡¯ll settle earthquake cat first before I take care of Hao Cang!¡±

    ...

    A few dayster, in the outskirts of Jiangmen city, a Panamera was speeding down the expressway under the starry sky.

    Zhao Yao had brought along Elizabeth and Matcha before he headed southwards.

    Based on the information which he had gathered on the inte and his conversations with Seismological Bureau, he found out that the epicenter of the earthquakes was from the southern region of Jiangmen city.

    After failing to find Hao Cang, Zhao Yao had begun his search for earthquake cat. Before he went out to find it, he stopped over at Ho Hao Cang¡¯s mansion to ensure that he was not home before he started his journey southwards. Even though he had failed to locate the earthquake cat, he had identified a few individuals who seemed like apostles.

    Today, Zhao Yaoe to a newly reconstructed old town. He had heard rumors that an abandoned ancient house had copsed a few days ago. Coincidentally, the house also fell within the radius of the epicenter of the earthquake. Hence, Zhao Yao decided to try his luck here.

    He found a secluded corner to park his Panamera before he got off with the cat bag slung behind his back. He whispered, ¡°Elizabeth and Matcha,e in.¡±

    Matcha jumped in immediately, but Elizabeth¡¯s brows snapped together as shemented, ¡°This bag is too squeezy, I don¡¯t want to get in there.¡±

    Matcha scoffed, ¡°I¡¯m sure it¡¯s because you are too fat!¡±

    ¡°Alright, stopining and get in now.¡± Zhao Yao squeezed Elizabeth into the bag, albeit slightly unwillingly, before absorbing his Panamera. He then walked towards the direction of the old town.

    ¡°Thankfully it¡¯s an old town; there aren¡¯t much surveince cameras around.¡±

    When Zhao Yao made his way into the town, he did not realize that there was a spectacled middle-aged man with a teenager staring at him from within a small building.

    ¡°This town has a really strong cat scent,¡± Zhao Yao raised his eyebrows before he took a few sniffs. He continued walking in the same direction.

    Inside the small building, the middle-aged man raised his eyebrow and said, ¡°This guy. He is the one Prince Ho asked us to find ...¡±

    ¡°The boss of the cat caf¨¦? He should be an apostle too.¡± The teenager chuckled as he responded to the middle-aged man, ¡°This guy is here too? Is he looking for the earthquake cat as well? I think he has overestimated his ability.¡± He stared at Zhao Yao as he licked his lips and said coolly, ¡°Should we get rid of him?¡±

    He shut his left eye and used his right eye and hands to mimic the action of using a telescope. He chuckled, ¡°He just entered this town so tantly, without any form of disguise. He even has the cat bag slung behind him. This guy is an amateur. I¡¯m sure I can take care of him in 5 seconds.¡±

    ¡°Prince Ho told us not to attract too much attention to ourselves. Our priority is to capture the earthquake cat. However, we should still report this.¡± The spectacled man took out his phone.

    ...

    Inside another building in the old town, Ho Hao Cang answered his phone with his poker face, ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°That Zhao Yao just entered the town. From the looks of it, he is just an amateur, do you want us to take care of him?¡±

    ¡°Just leave him be,¡± Ho Cang continued, ¡°Continue standing guard at your position, call me if there are any anomalies.¡± The butler did a hand signal. Hao Cang recognized it and said, ¡°I¡¯ve something to settle on my side, so I¡¯ll hang up first.¡±

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    The butler replied, ¡°Master, Lin Chen and his people seemed to have located earthquake cat.¡±

    Hao Cang¡¯s eyes glimmered as hemanded, ¡°Get ready, we cannot let earthquake cat slip through our fingers.¡±

    The butler hesitated before saying, ¡°Master, is it too risky for us to capture earthquake cat?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, as long as I have earthquake cat under me; I will have the power to destroy the entire Jiangmen city instantly. Even the higher-ups will be forced to give in to me.¡± There seemed to be a fire ring zing in Hao Cang¡¯s eyes as he continued, ¡°This will revolutionize the rtionship between humans and cats.¡±

    The butler could only sigh as he knew that Hao Cang was someone who could not be swayed easily.

    ...

    Meanwhile, a golden-haired girl was observing with a telescope inside a tower within the old town. She was carefully surveying the entire ce for any anomalies.

    She was 1.8 meters tall and wore a tank top. She had a pair of beautiful long legs.

    Her name is Isabe, and she was a former agent in CIA. Her performance there was outstanding.

    Her lips curled into a smile as she continued observing the old town. She whispered, ¡°This isn¡¯t a wasted trip. I didn¡¯t expect so many people to be here.¡±

    A ck cat was walking around her. She nced at Elizabeth and said, ¡°Hey long legs, I¡¯m hungry. When are we going to eat?¡±

    Sadly, Isabe could not understand what the ck cat was saying and simply patted its head and said, ¡°Lucy, be a good cat. We will be rich if we manage to capture this cat. I¡¯m sure CIA would pay us billions to have it.¡±

    Suddenly, there was an explosion. No. It¡¯s the sound of a building copsing. Isabe pointed her telescope at the direction of the noise and saw a few shadows emerging from the ruins.

    ¡°Oh my God, earthquake cat had made its move,¡± Isabe reacted to it by giving a high whistle. She felt immense tremorsing from the ground underneath her feet. The people at the copsed building seemed like they were walking on sponge as they hobbled around and could not stand properly.

    ...

    Lin Chen was half-kneeling in front of the ruins as his eyes remained fixed on it.

    Beside him was a girl in a ponytail and a chubby boy. five people had just escaped from the ruins by using the elerated speed the supercat had endowed them with.

    All of them were apostles who were recruited under Inspector Ho. 8 of them were activated for today¡¯s mission to capture earthquake cat.

    All the apostles were government officials and had received their power from Milk. This meant that all of them had the same power as Lin Chen. Firstly, this was to ensure that all their skills were standardized, making it easier for the higher-ups to control. Secondly, this power was specifically chosen to deal with earthquake cat.

    ¡°Team Lin, how is the situation at your side?¡± The chubby boy was sweating from head to toe. He said, ¡°I ... I thought I was going to be crushed to death. When is the armying over to reinforce us?¡±

    ¡°Idiot, what¡¯s the point of having more people here?¡± The girl in ponytail retorted, ¡°What if their presence startle earthquake cat and it set off a magnitude 8.0 earthquake in Jiangmen city? Team Lin, did you manage to hit the enemy?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Lin Chen replied as he recalled the sneak attack just now.

    Most cats were extremely timid. Anything that was slightly out of the ordinary would startle them. Only a minority of supercats were not as easily frightened. However, Lin Chen¡¯s team did not want to bet on it. They did not know how much earthquake cat could take before it got flustered and started using its power.

    If earthquake cat set off a massive earthquake in the middle of the operation, the results would be disastrous.

    Millions of lives would be affected, and nobody would be able to answer for it.

    They did not dare tomence a wide-scale search for earthquake cat to prevent startling the residents, resulting in public unrest. Hence, the police personnel were all in inclothes and operated secretly. They would hand over the operation to the apostles once they have identified the objective. Meanwhile, the army personnel was kilometers away and on standby. If need be, they will take out earthquake cat instantly.

    During the previous sneak attack, Lin Chen managed to hit earthquake cat with one of his anesthetic bullets. However, earthquake cat had activated its power before it went unconscious which resulted in the building copsing.

    Just when Lin Chen was in the midst of recalling what had happened in the building, the ruins of the copsed building started to shake violently. All the apostles were staring at it nervously. It was as if an invisible force was separating the ruins into halves. Suddenly, a Scottish Fold appeared from the ruins with its back arched, and its fur all puffed up. It emerged from the ruins with its squinted eyes, staring right into Lin Chen¡¯s eyes.

    At the instant when the Scottish Fold appeared, Lin Chen had already dashed towards it like a ck bolt of lightning, leaving behind his afterimages. He stretched out his hand and pped the cat with an astounding speed that cannot be seen by the naked eye.

    Even amongst the apostles with elerated speed, Lin Chen was the strongest among them.

    The power to create earthquakes was too dangerous. Lin Chen would not allow the cat any chance of using its power again.

    Just when his palm was about to make contact with the cat, the Scottish Fold¡¯s body quivered before it fell to the floor. Its eyes were shut, and its breathing was regr.

    Lin Chen was taken aback by the cat¡¯s behavior, but he immediately realized, ¡°Has the anesthesia taken effect?¡± Lin Chen heaved a sigh of relief as he carried the Scottish Fold into his arms and turned to the girl behind him. He said, ¡°I¡¯m telling you guys that your reactions are too slow.¡± He was referring to how all of them stood rooted to the ground when the supercat reappeared.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± the chubby boy lowered his head out of embarrassment.

    Lin Chen shook his head as he looked at them. The chubby boy had not graduated from police academy. If not for his potential to be an apostle, he would not have been deployed for this mission before he graduated.

    ¡°Report to the higher-ups and ask them to send people over to receive the cat.¡±

    After rying his instructions, the girl in ponytail took her phone and was about to call Inspector Ho.

    Suddenly, there was a gunshot sound and the girls¡¯ phone exploded. The other apostles sent by the government immediately went into hiding.

    ¡°What happened? Who is it?¡± Lin Chen shouted. He saw that the ground from afar began to melt into a body of fluid. three masked men rose from the liquid.

    One of the masked men was holding on to a pistol, and he came dashing towards Lin Chen.

    A metal man went straight for the girl in ponytail. The remaining masked man went for the chubby boy.

    Judging from the metal man and their ability to turn the ground into liquid, it was apparent that the gang of the masked men was apostles under Ho Hao Cang.

    Lin Chen held his pistol and fired the anesthetic bullet at the masked man charging towards him. However, he was able to dodge the bullet quickly, and he continued running towards Lin Chen.

    ¡°Hmm, is it trying to get closer to me? That¡¯s good for me as well.¡± Lin Chen smirked as he carefully ced the Scottish Fold on the floor. He activated his power and dashed towards the masked man like a ck bolt of lightning. Before the masked man could react to Lin Chen¡¯s attack, Lin Chen had already positioned his pistol on the masked man¡¯s belly and fired off three rounds.

    This was followed by three punches whichnded on his face, neck, and chest.

    This was all done in 0.3 seconds. It was impossible for an ordinary person to react to it.

    ¡°It has ended.¡±

    Just when Lin Chen thought he had subdued his enemy, the masked man startedughing and repeated what Lin Chen said, ¡°It has ended.¡± The masked man had simultaneously removed the pin from his grenade.

    ¡°What?¡± Lin Chen was still reacting to his opponent¡¯s incredible toughness when he noticed this crazy move he made.

    ¡°D*mn it!¡± Lin Chen dashed away at top speed as his body morphed into a giant gust of wind. However, the masked man was holding on to the edge of his shirt. Lin Chen¡¯s speed was too fast as he managed to escape with a torn shirt.

    However, the masked man¡¯s action had dyed Lin Chen¡¯s escape, and Lin Chen was still a little toote.

    Following the loud explosion, you could see the waves rippling radially from the grenade, and they were slowly catching up to Lin Chen in mid-air.

    Bam!

    The masked man was blown away by the explosion. Lin Chen¡¯s vision turned ck as he fell to the floor. He could only hear buzzing in his head, and his four limbs went limp. He was about to lose consciousness.

    ¡°Team Lin!¡±

    Both the girl and boy turned around to this horrific scene. They were shocked by what they saw, but they still had to take care of the masked man attacking them.

    What shocked them more was that the masked man who was drenched in blood got up again. He shook his head as all his wounds started to heal miraculously. He then carried on walking towards the Scottish Fold.

    For a moment, the chubby boys wanted to dash forward and help Lin Chen. However, one of the masked men appeared from the ground and grabbed onto his ankles. The masked man dragged the chubby boy into the ground.

    The girl in ponytail also wanted to help Lin Chen, but she had her hands full with metalman. The anesthetic shot used against the supercat was futile against metalman. She threw it away, took out another pistol and fired a barrage of bullets at metalman.

    All the bullets managed to do was to create sparks against his body apanied by nking sounds. Metalman took a few steps back but then started dashing towards the girl unscathed.

    Even though the two of them were upied with their fights, the remaining five apostles had their pistols in hand and had a clear shot at thest remaining apostle.

    With five apostles locked on from 5 different directions, the masked man would not be able to escape even if he wanted to.

    Gunshots were fired, and blood spurted out from his body. He stumbled from the impact of all the gunshots before he fell to the ground.

    At the moment when his body came crashing to the floor, he opened his eyes and fired a shot at the back of an apostle¡¯s head.

    ¡°It is the power of regeneration!¡± The chubby boy reacted to it and eximed, ¡°Use the anesthetic shots instead!¡± The masked man who could travel underground pulled the chubby boy down to the ground again after he warned his teammates.

    The remaining four apostles reacted to the chubby boy¡¯s suggestion and switched to anesthetic bullets instead. They started firing at the masked man with the power of regeneration.

    The masked man seemed remarkably experienced at dodging bullets. He did a front roll the moment he stood up, allowing him to avoid the first wave of shots. He then threw a grenade into the air.

    Bam! A blinding light radiated from the explosion.

    ¡°It is a stun grenade.¡±

    ¡°Be careful!¡±

    Sounds of footsteps rang in the apostle¡¯s ear. The apostle repeatedly pressed the trigger in the direction of the source of the noise. Soon, he felt something pressing against his stomach; the masked man had already positioned his pistol on him.

    Bam! The masked man fired off a shot, and the bullet punctured the apostle¡¯s skin and impaled his organs.

    ¡°He got shot! He¡¯s in my area!¡±

    The apostle clutched onto his wound as his vision turned blurry. He saw the masked man removing a dagger and slowly chopped off his hand which got hit by an anesthetic bullet

    The remaining three apostles had already heard their friend¡¯s call for help. Under all the confusion, they could only shoot at where their friend previously stood at.

    The three apostles¡¯ vision was still affected by the shbang previously. However, they did not hesitate to fire at the enemy.

    Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

    The masked man just jumped and dodged the majority of the bullets. However, two rounds still managed tond on his chest and high. He did not panic but just smiled at the sight of it. He raised his pistol and fired a shot at his head.

    That shot destroyed his central nervous system when the bullet pierced through his brain. However, he had already started to recover, and that anesthetic shots did not affect his newly reconstructed central nervous system.

    The apostles just saw the masked man falling to the ground before opening his eyes again. He stood up and immediately took an aimed shot at one of the apostles.

    The apostle was about to activate his power and escape. However, he felt that something was grabbing onto his ankle. He lowered his head and saw a hand grabbing onto him; he could only watch the masked man pulled the trigger and fired a shot at him.

    He roared and fired a stream of shots in retaliation.

    Both their eyes met, and the bulletsnded on the masked man and apostle¡¯s body at the same time.

    The apostle fell to the floor while the masked man was struggling to stand. The bullets were squeezed out of his body, and he looked as good as new.

    Lin Chen finally regained his consciousness from the impact of the grenade¡¯s explosion. He struggled to get on his feet but was taken aback by the masked man¡¯s onught.

    Within that short span of time, the remaining five apostles had all died. Only Lin Chen, the girl, and the chubby boy survived.

    The masked man was extremely powerful, be it his physical strength, proficiency at handling pistol, battle experience, and even his control over his power.

    This was especially so with the help of the other masked man who could travel underground and helped restrain his opponents. They were invincible.

    If Lin Chen were at his best and knew about his opponent¡¯s ability of self-regeneration, he would still have a shot at taking him down. However, the chances of that now were close to 0.

    The girl in a ponytail and the chubby boy were both restrained by metalman and the underground man respectively.

    ¡°Stop ... Stop it!¡±

    ¡°Oh, you still can move?¡± The masked man turned around to Lin Chen who was crawling on the floor. Lin Chen was grabbing on to the masked man¡¯s ankle. The masked man remarked, ¡°I have to admit you¡¯re pretty fast. You managed to dodge the majority of the impact from the explosion within such a short span of time.¡±

    ¡°However, do you still want to fight against me at your current state?¡± The masked man raised his foot and mmed it down, instantly breaking Lin Chen¡¯s arm.

    When the masked man was about to take another step forward, Lin Chen stopped him with his other arm.

    Only one thought shed across Lin Chen¡¯s head, ¡°Earthquake cat cannot be taken by anyone else.¡±

    Lin Chen raised his head and stared right into masked man¡¯s eyes, ¡°Were you part of Special Forces? All your moves are simr to the ones taught in Special Forces.¡±

    The masked man was somewhat stunned by Lin Chen¡¯s question and asked, ¡°So what?¡±

    ¡°Have you forgotten your oath?¡±

    ¡°Haha, I¡¯ve stopped serving this country for a long time,¡± the masked man sniggered.

    The masked man raised his foot again and started to stamp against Lin Chen¡¯s arm repeatedly. Lin Chen could not help but to release his grip. The masked man then kicked Lin Chen to the side.

    He walked forward and carried the Scottish Fold into his arms. A grin appeared on his face, and he whispered, ¡°Earthquake cat, I¡¯ve finally found you.¡±

    Suddenly, a cat¡¯s meow rang in everyone¡¯s ears.

    ¡°The power of The 5 Senses!¡±

    ...

    Isabe was observing the entire situation from afar using her telescope.

    She mumbled, ¡°A building copsed, and people are escaping from it. Are they apostles sent by the government?¡±

    ¡°Oh, the ruins started moving again. Is it because of earthquake cat? It¡¯s really powerful.¡± She witnessed the scene where earthquake cat appeared with its back arched. She was stunned by what she saw.

    The ck cat at her feet asked, ¡°What time am I going to eat?¡±

    However, Isabe¡¯s eyes were fixed on the scene in front of her, ¡°Are they afraid of attracting too much attention? Is that why they¡¯ve only sent apostles here?¡±

    Isabe¡¯s eyes squinted into a line as she saw the apostle carrying the cat into his arms. She thought,¡±Eight apostles would be extremely difficult to handle. Even millions of soldiers might not be able to take the cat away from them.¡± She knew the strength of an apostle alone. Thebined power of eight of them would be enormous.

    Each apostle possessed strength which greatly surpassed an ordinary human. Furthermore, as government officials, they were highly trained and were synergized as a unit.

    The power of elerated speed gave them extreme speed, flexibility and even reaction time. They could easily dodge a rain of bullets.

    Just when she was immersed in her thoughts, the masked men appeared and shed against the apostles.

    ¡°Are they crazy? 3 of them are going against eight apostles?¡± The masked men disyed their superiorbat skills just when Isabe started doubting them.

    She saw how the masked man survived all the things which could have easily killed anyone, including an apostle and was shocked beyond words.

    ¡°This guy is too strong.¡± Isabe witnessed the massacre as the five apostles fell to them one by one. Then, she saw the masked man carrying the Scottish Fold in his arms.

    ¡°D*mn it, why must the cat end up in that guy¡¯s hands,¡± Isabe gritted her teeth, and her eyes burned with anger.

    If Lin Chen¡¯s team were the one who captured the cat, Isabe would still find an opportunity to steal it from them secretly. However, the masked men were killing machines. She did not dare to do anything against them.

    However, a new variable had been added to the battle.

 Chapter 143: Where is Earthquake Cat?

    <h4>Chapter 143: Where is Earthquake Cat?</h4>

    She saw everyone crashing to the floor, including the masked men. It was as if their souls had been taken away by a mysterious force as theyy on the ground, unconscious.

    ¡°What happened?¡± Isabe could not believe the turn of events that happened and did not understand how it happened as well.

    Suddenly, her vision turned blurry, and a man in a sporting attire appeared with his hands in his pocket. He was directly in front of earthquake cat.

    ¡°Is he the guy? Is he the guy who caused all of them to go unconscious?¡± Isabe stared at that guy¡¯s back as she tried to decipher his power. At that moment, he turned around.

    His face was covered with a ck surgical mask, and he had a ck cap on. She could not see his face but could only make out his bloodshot eyes.

    She felt chills down her spine when she saw the pair of red eyes glimmered in the dark.

    ¡°Red eyes?¡± it was already toote when Isabe realized that something was wrong.

    Isabe had lost control of her body. Zhao Yao had her under his control with Elizabeth¡¯s ability. Elizabeth¡¯s illusion and power to control other living beings worked differently. Illusion depended on sound waves to propagate while the power to control required Zhao Yao to make eye contact with his opponent.

    Elizabeth controlled Isabe by raising her pistol to her temple. Isabe thought that she would be forced to take her own life.

    ¡°He managed to control me with just one look. What exactly is his power?¡± Isabe knew at that moment that her fate no longerid in her hands, but was in the hands of the man standing there. Goosebumps erupted all over her body.

    ¡°Hello, miss.¡±

    Isabe opened her mouth, but the words that came out were not what she wanted to say.

    ¡°What happened? Why am I talking?¡± Elizabeth¡¯s eyes darted around and her pupil constricted. She thought, ¡°The opponent has taken control over my body. He is using my mouth to talk.¡±

    ¡°Miss, let¡¯s y a game.¡±

    Bam!

    A bullet flew past Isabe¡¯s scalp. Her heart skipped a beat.

    When she had reacted to the situation, her entire body went limp, and she was drenched in cold sweat.

    ¡°You have 10 minutes to leave this ce. If you choose not to, I can guarantee that I will not miss with my next bullet.¡±

    She peeped at the battlefield and realized that the man and the Scottish Fold were both gone.

    ¡°Monster!¡± Isabe was gasping for breath, but her mind was flooded with what had just happened.

    ¡°I have to leave here right now; I never knew that Jiangmen city had such a monster.¡±

    In her eyes, the man who just controlled her was stronger than anyone she had ever seen. He was dangerous.

    If Lin Chen were a normal human being, the masked man would be a Godzi, while Zhao Yao would be God.

    One minuteter, Isabe carried Lucy and was making her escape out of this town.

    At the same time, the sound of police sirens just got louder and louder. Soon, the entire town was surrounded by police cars.

    ¡°D*mn it,¡± The masked man was the first one to regain consciousness after Zhao Yao left. He surveyed his surroundings and woke hispanion up immediately. The 3 of them submerged underground.

    ...

    In themanding vehicle, Inspector Ho was listening to the report by his subordinate.

    ¡°Are you joking? All of them managed to escape?¡± Inspector Ho frantically scratched his bald head. He shouted, ¡°There¡¯s 8 of you, and you cannot even get a hold of anyone of them? Are you guys stupid? How about our satellite images?¡±

    ¡°There were too many clouds in the night sky which prevented the satellite cameras from capturing anything.¡±

    ¡°Inspector, we have located earthquake cat.¡±

    ¡°Where is it?¡±

    ¡°Someone saw a golden-haired woman running away with a grey Scottish Fold. There were no cameras in the area. We handed the eyewitnesses a few photographs and the person was identified. She is Isabe.¡±

    ¡°Isabe? She is also involved in the ship¡¯s explosion,¡± Inspector Ho scratched his chin and continued, ¡°Did Lin Chen report that earthquake cat is a grey Scottish Fold?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect CIA personnel toe knocking at our door,¡± Inspector Ho took a deep breath before continuing, ¡°This woman was involved in the ship explosion, isn¡¯t it? The Americans have flown all the way to ournd. What should we do?¡±

    He mmed against the table and shouted, ¡°F*ck them, if we allow them to leave after causing havoc. How can we face others in the future?¡±

    ¡°Deploy everyone to find her. I don¡¯t care what you do, but I want her captured. Inform Colonel Li and Secretary Song. No.¡± Inspector Ho took out his phone and said, ¡°I¡¯ll make the call myself.¡±

    When Inspector Ho was making the call, his assistant had retreated to a corner of the room and started spreading information regarding Isabe.

    ...

    Ho Hao Cang pressed his fingers against his temples. In front of him was the masked man. However, he had removed his mask and had changed into a suit, with an air of a butler

    ¡°Master, I¡¯m sorry,¡± The butler lowered his head and apologized, ¡°I made a mistake.¡±

    Behind him were the middle-aged man and the teenager.

    Ho Hao Cang stared at the 3 of them with a stern look. He asked, ¡°Mr. Xia, with your skills and power of regeneration, I¡¯m sure Inspector Ho¡¯s subordinates were no match for you. Tell me, what happened?¡±

    The other two subordinates were shaking like a leaf when they saw Ho Hao Cang so solemn and serious. They did not even dare to breathe too loudly.

    Only the butler maintained hisposure and replied, ¡°I have no idea. I defeated Lin Chen¡¯s team and captured the Scottish Fold. Then, I lose consciousness. Maybe, I did not lose my consciousness but my vision turned dark, and I could not feel anything.

    When I regained my consciousness, the cat was already gone.¡±

    ¡°Your vision turned dark, and you could not feel anything?¡± Hao Cang¡¯s forehead furrowed as he continued, ¡°Maybe there was a third party involved?¡±

    Suddenly, Hao Cang¡¯s phone vibrated. He nced at it, and his eyes squinted into a line. He waved at the two subordinates to signal them to take their leave.

    ¡°It is an American woman by the name of Isabe that took earthquake cat.¡±

    ¡°Isabe?¡± The butler raised his head and asked, ¡°Is it the female apostle responsible for the ship¡¯s explosion? The Americans got earthquake cat?¡±

    Soon, the teenager returned. He used his power to turn the ground into a tunnel.

    ¡°Master, the police are here. We must leave now.¡±

    ¡°I guess we should leave then,¡± Ho Hao Cang then walked into the tunnel created by the teenager.

    Meanwhile, everyone was interested in what happened. Intelligence agents from all over the world snooped around to gather information.

    After escaping from the old town, Isabe had avoided numerous blockades from the police. She was currently dashing across a field. She was furious and mumbled, ¡°D*mn it, why are they focusing all their attention on me?¡±

    Zhao Yao was behind Isabe. He had no problems catching up to her with ¡°Two is better than one¡±. He had cast an illusion on both Isabe and her cat, turning her ck cat into a grey Scottish Fold.

 Chapter 144: The Disguise and the Chase

    <h4>Chapter 144: The Disguise and the Chase</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    In reality, Zhao Yao had been following behind Isabelle since she took her first step out of the old town. He wanted to disguise her cat as earthquake cat to trick the other parties into tracking her instead.

    The 5 Senses allowed him to conceal his presence to prevent Isabelle from noticing himpletely. He also prevented Isabe from knowing that her ck cat had turned into a grey Scottish Fold in others¡¯ eyes.

    ¡°Two is better than one¡± allowed Zhao Yao to run beside herfortably. Even though Isabe was remarkably fit from her training with CIA, Zhao Yao had no problem catching up to her.

    Matcha was panting as he ran alongside them. He stuck out his tongue like a dog. He shouted, ¡°No, I cannot keep up, I¡¯m about to die!¡±

    Even though Elizabeth remained silent throughout the run, she was also struggling to catch up. Both her eyes had almost rolled over.

    Zhao Yao found the cat bag a little cumbersome during the battle. It also prevented the cats from fighting effectively. Hence he had absorbed the cat bag into his belly and allowed both cats to roam on their own.

    However, this period of extended running had taken a toll on both cats.

    A cat¡¯s strength was never in their endurance. Furthermore, both domestic cats were used to their sedentary lives andcked proper training.

    After running alongside Elizabeth the entire duration, they thought they were going to die.

    Matcha pounced onto Zhao Yao¡¯s calf and said, ¡°I really cannot take it. I will die if I continue running.¡±

    Zhao Yao was annoyed by his cats¡¯ poor physical conditioning. However, he knew that many people had seen Isabe escaping along with earthquake cat because of his illusion. Hence, he thought it would be safe to keep them in the bag.

    He immediately released the cat bag from his belly and instructed, ¡°Get in, now!¡±

    Elizabeth immediately jumped on the opportunity to rest. She had not run such a long distance in a long time. It was especially tiring for her with her massive fur.

    Matcha stared at Zhao Yao with his Puss in Boots eyes and sped his hands together as if he were praying. He stared at Zhao Yao and begged, ¡°Zhao Yao, please carry me in.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes but still carried Matcha into the cat bag.

    ¡°I guess it¡¯s time to return home.¡±

    Zhao Yao returned to the secluded corner where he parked his Panamera previously. He released the car from his belly before making his way home.

    A thought lingered at the back of his head as he drove, ¡°This should be enough, right? Would they continue pursuing the woman? I did a pretty good job with the disguise, and there were no cameras in the old town.¡±

    Back home, Zhao Yao looked at the Scottish Fold in his arms and carefully ced it on the sofa.

    Meanwhile, he hadpleted his mission to find the Scottish Fold and received the reward. With his ¡°X2 Exp Card¡±, he earned 600 experience points. Now, his book reached lv3(1132/2000).

    Matcha jumped onto the sofa and took a look at the Scottish Fold that was fast asleep on their couch. He asked, ¡°Is this the guy responsible for the earthquakes?¡± Matcha then craned his neck forward as he took a sniff at the Scottish Fold¡¯s butt. He said, ¡°Let me check whether it¡¯s a guy or a girl.¡±

    ¡°Get lost, pervert!¡± Elizabeth stopped Matcha with her paws and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, what are your ns for this cat? It would be disastrous if this cat went crazy.¡±

    Zhao Yao scratched his chin and replied, ¡°We¡¯ll talk about it when it wakes up. If I really cannot control it, I will let you control it using your power.¡±

    Both Roly Poly and Dust Ball climbed onto the sofa and observed the Scottish Fold in front of them.

    Roly Poly stared at it in awe and said, ¡°It has the power to create earthquakes? That¡¯s so cool! If only I had such a powerful ability.¡±

    Zhao Yao folded his arms and replied, ¡°Maybe you would have been captured by some bad people by now, and you will never see KFC for the rest of your life. With such a destructive power, no one would allow it to roam around freely.¡±

    Dust Ball carefully observed the Scottish Fold in front of her and noticed its slightly rapid breathing. Shemented, ¡°If I remember correctly, Scottish Fold¡¯s body is rather frail and weak too.¡±

    Zhao Yao reacted to her response immediately and said, ¡°Yes. They are extremely prone to degenerative joint diseases.¡±

    On the surface, Scottish Fold looked like an adorablepanion. However, they had a very significant defect. Almost all Scottish Folds suffered from a gic degenerative joint disease that had passed down for a long time. However, after generations of natural selection, the probability of a Scottish Fold suffering from it in their lifetime had been significantly reduced. Some even lived their entire lives without suffering from the pain.

    However, once it started, their bones and joints would be affected, and their range of motion would be significantly reduced. They would also suffer from extreme pain, and it would stay with them for the rest of their lives.

    Furthermore, this disease could not be treated. This meant that their suffering would only get worse until the day they died.

    Zhao Yao immediately instructed Elizabeth, ¡°Elizabeth, could you activate Celestial Beats?¡± Because of the battle and the infiltration previously, Zhao Yao could not allow Elizabeth to activate her power at all.

    Zhao Yao did not know if Celestial Beats would be beneficial for Scottish Fold¡¯s degenerative joint disease, but it could at least alleviate some pain.

    After Elizabeth activated Celestial Beats, the Scottish Fold¡¯s breathing started to slow down.

    Zhao Yao nodded his head and said, ¡°Hopefully it will be able to lessen its pain. I¡¯ll take care of it tonight.¡±

    Meanwhile, spirit cat had seen everything that was going on in the apartment.

    He floated to the Scottish Fold¡¯s side, and tears welled in his eyes. He asked, ¡°Are you suffering from osteodystrophy? Is it the same one which Aya Kit¨­ suffered from?¡±

    Aya Kit¨­ was a character in ¡°1 Liter of Tears¡±. After suffering from Spinocereber Atrophy, she eventually lost control over her limbs and was paralyzed. She ultimately died of it.

    This was the drama series that made spirit cat cried so badly. Memories of the drama series shed across his head when he looked at the cat on the sofa.

    ¡°Maybe Ho Hao Cang can help this cat. With the rapid advancement in medical technology, I¡¯m sure there¡¯s some medicine out there that can help this cat. Furthermore, Hao Cang had been searching for earthquake cat all this while. Zhao Yao and his cats cannot protect earthquake cat alone.¡±

    Just when spirit cat was about to inform Ho Hao Cang regarding the location of earthquake cat, he turned around and saw Zhao Yao sitting on the sofa watching over the Scottish Fold. At the corner of the living room, Matcha was on his massage throne ying Mobile Legends. Elizabeth was engrossed in her drama series as usual. Roly Poly was happily asleep. Mango and Dust Ball were chasing each other delightedly. Spirit cat was in a dilemma.

    ¡°Even though this ce is filled with the devil¡¯s temptations, but I cannot deny the fact that the cats are enjoying themselves here. If Hao Cang came, he might take all of them away from Zhao Yao. Their drama series and Mobile Legends would be taken from them.

    If beautiful Elizabeth does not get to watch her drama, she would be devastated. I do not want to see her sad.¡±

    Spirit cat had made his decision.

    ¡°Let me think of a solution.¡±

 Chapter 145: The Threat

    <h4>Chapter 145: The Threat</h4>

    The next morning, the Scottish Fold¡¯s eyelids quivered before it finally woke up.

    She had never experienced such a good sleep for her entire life. It felt like she had returned to her mother¡¯s womb and everything felt so soft andfortable.

    ¡°Oh, you¡¯re awake?¡± Zhao Yao stared at her with his giant eye bags.

    ¡°Meow!¡±

    The cat immediately went on her feet. She wagged her tail furiously which reflected how scared she was. She stared at Zhao Yao warily.

    Suddenly, she screamed at the top of her lungs and raised both her paws in the sky, ¡°Let the world feel my wrath!¡±

    ...

    ...

    ...

    There was no reaction. The Scottish Fold herself was shocked by it. She raised her paws in the sky and shouted again, ¡°Let the world feel my wrath!¡±

    ...

    ...

    ...

    All Zhao Yao heard was a little girl¡¯s scream. Zhao Yao stared at her helplessly and patted her on her head and said, ¡°Did you fail to activate your power?¡±

    She was taken aback by Zhao Yao¡¯s action and immediately took a few steps back. She opened her mouth and shouted again, ¡°Humans! I will let you feel my wrath!¡±

    Zhao Yao started chortling after 5 seconds of silence. Hemented, ¡°It seems like you cannot create the earthquake whenever you want. Let the world feel my wrath? Is that a slogan which you must recite before activating your power?¡±

    ¡°How can you understand what I¡¯m saying?¡± Zhao Yao could sense the awkwardness and shyness in her voice. She continued staring at Zhao Yao with her brows tightly knitted together. It seemed like she was ashamed after realizing that Zhao Yao could understand her slogan.

    ¡°I guess you can consider that my power.¡± Zhao Yao tried to pat her on her head, but she immediately pped Zhao Yao¡¯s n with her paws. She shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t touch me!¡±

    Zhao Yao could not help butughed and asked, ¡°How are you? Are you feeling better?¡±

    ¡°Hmm, now that he has mentioned it, my body does feel a lot lighter, and the joints in my limbs do not hurt as much as before.¡±

    Zhao Yao exined to her the phenomenon, ¡°This is the power of Celestial Beats. It is my supercat¡¯s ability. If you stay with me, the pain you experience from your degenerative joint disease will lessen significantly. However, even if you choose not to stay with us, you should at least stay until you recover.¡±

    Just when she was staring at Zhao Yao with suspicion, she noticed a giant mass of orange meat jumping onto the sofa. He came extremely close to her and whispered, ¡°Oh look, it¡¯s a female cat!¡±

    Matcha started walking around her in circles and said, ¡°My name is George Matcha, and I¡¯m a Jiangmen Fold. I guess we are distant rtives. From today onwards, I will protect you. If anyone dares to hurt you, you can report it to me directly.¡±

    Matcha began licking the back of her head after his grand speech. The Scottish Fold had the same reaction as she pped Matcha¡¯s paws away and shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t touch me!¡±

    It was not just Matcha. Elizabeth, Roly Poly and Dust Ball were also observing her from afar.

    Dust Ball jumped onto the couch and stared at the earthquake cat. Dust Ball snarled at her. It seemed like a threat or a warning. Most cats would do it when they met new cats.

    Dust Ball said, ¡°Hey new cat, do not be too cocky around here. Maintain a low profile. You are considered the youngest among all of us.¡±

    ¡°Alright! Alright! Stop looking at her and have breakfast. We have a day of work awaiting us.¡± Zhao Yap pped his hands and sent the four cats scurrying to their food bowl. Zhao Yao also ced a te of cat rice in front of the Scottish Fold.

    ¡°This is your breakfast.¡±

    She did not eat straight away. She observed her surroundings before taking a few sniffs. After seeing how the rest of the cats were all enjoying their food and how famished she was, she gave in to it. She took a small bite to ensure that there was nothing wrong.

    Next, she devoured the food instantly.

    Baiquan walked to Zhao Yao and noticed the new cat at home. He asked, ¡°Boss, where did you kidnap this cat from?¡±

    ¡°Kidnap? Can you please watch your words? I just saved it from the bad guys out there! Don¡¯t think that she¡¯s harmless just because she looks so cute. She has the power to destroy the entire Jiangmen city instantly.¡±

    ¡°She¡¯s so powerful?¡± Baiquan could not believe his eyes as the cat in front of him was just a cute little Scottish Fold.

    ¡°She is that powerful,¡± Zhao Yao said smugly. He continued, ¡°So never allow this cat to escape from your field of vision. You must take care of her! You cannot let her escape or allow others to take her away.¡±

    ¡°Yes, I understand,¡± Baiquan fixed his eyes on the adorable cat and said, ¡°I will never let her escape!¡±

    When everyone was off to the caf¨¦, Zhao Yao naturally also had to bring earthquake cat along. She was extremely important, and he could not take the risk of leaving her alone at home.

    Hence, Zhao Yao and his cats came to the caf¨¦ as per usual. However, he was surprised to see that he was the earliest.

    ¡°Hmm, where is Shi Yu?¡± Zhao Yao guessed, ¡°Is she having menstruation?¡±

    Zhao Yao found it strange that she waste but he was not worried. It was still a job, and it was natural for people to reportte for work. Maybe, Shi Yu just overslept.

    However, Xiao Shi Yu was still nowhere to be found after 1 hour.

    Just when Zhao Yao thought that something had happened to her, he received a Wechat message from Xiao Shi Yu.

    ¡°If you want this woman to stay alive, meet me at the roof of the building along XXXX road. If not, I will have to kill her. Also, bring Elizabeth along. If not, I will also have to kill her.¡±

    ¡°Bring Elizabeth along?¡± Zhao Yao was puzzled by this strange yet specific request. He had a strange feeling and thought, ¡°Is this personing for me? However, there is no mention of earthquake cat, is it a personal grudge?¡±

    ¡°Should I report to Inspector Ho?¡±

    However, he recognized how messy the current situation was. Everyone was out there searching for earthquake cat. He shook his head and decided not to involve Inspector Ho. He thought, ¡°With Matcha and Elizabeth, I can manipte the perfect illusion with the ability to stop time. I can even escape into my extradimensional belly if need be. I can deal with most of the apostles with this power. I¡¯m sure I can settle this as well.¡±

    Zhao Yao told Baiquan, Dust Ball, Roly Poly and the earthquake cat, ¡°Sorry, I have something to attend to so I¡¯ll be leaving the caf¨¦.¡±

    ¡°Did something happen to Shi Yu?¡±

    Seeing how worried Baiquan was, Zhao Yao just patted him on his shoulder and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it will be resolved soon.¡±

    Suddenly, a red glimmer shed across his eyes, and he had controlled earthquake cat to walk into a cage.

    After deactivating his power, earthquake cat¡¯s eyes burned with anger as she shouted, ¡°Let me out!¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°I can let you out. However, you have to promise me that you would behave yourself. I will not forgive you if you try to escape.¡±

    Earthquake cat listened to Zhao Yao¡¯s conditions and nodded her head. She replied, ¡°Human, I understand. As long as you let me out of the cage, I will not escape from your caf¨¦.¡±

    The moment she saw Zhao Yao unlocking the cage, she immediately bolted out. However, she realized that her vision turned dark the instant she left the cage. She had entered Zhao Yao¡¯s extradimensional belly.

    Earthquake cat stared at her surroundings in fear and asked, ¡°What is this ce?¡±

    Actually, Zhao Yao kept her inside the cage with an ulterior motive. By using an illusion to hide Dust Ball with her mouth wide open outside the cage, he was able to keep the earthquake cat safely in his belly.

    For living matter to enter the extradimensional belly, it must be done willingly. Zhao Yao could not control her body and made her enter. He could only trick her in like what he did with Specter.

    Zhao Yao finally had a piece of mind with earthquake cat safely inside him.

    Zhao Yao did not bother about the earthquake cat once she was safely kept inside his belly. He then switched to Matcha¡¯s power of time freeze. He turned to Baiquan and instructed him, ¡°Take care of the caf¨¦. I¡¯lle back soon.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Dust Ball and said, ¡°You must stay here. If anything goes wrong, I would enter the extradimensional belly and escape from your side. If anything goes wrong in the caf¨¦, get everyone in ande to my side.¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, spirit cat stared at the phone in front of him and heaved a sigh of relief. He thought, ¡°I guess this should be enough.¡±

    He turned his head to face Xiao Shi Yu. With a wave of his paws, he had slowly ced Shi Yu on the floor with his psychokinesis power. Shi Yu was fast asleep.

    Spirit cat used Shi Yu¡¯s phone to send the message to Zhao Yao after he had tied her to a corner on the rooftop.

    ¡°At this rate, Elizabeth would be here soon!¡± Spirit cat¡¯s paws swiped across the phone as he began contacting Ho Hao Cang.

    ...

    On a small courtyard in the suburb, Hao Cang was knocking his fingers against the tabletop incessantly. In front of him was the butler with his head lowered. He said, ¡°Master, ording to our sources, Isabe no longer has the earthquake cat with her.¡±

    ¡°She doesn¡¯t have the earthquake cat with her?¡± Hao Cang¡¯s forehead furrowed.

    ¡°Yes, it seems like she has hidden the cat. Sincest night, no one has seen her alongside earthquake cat,¡± The butler reported.

    ¡°She had hidden the cat? Does this mean that she has an aplice?¡± Hao Cang reached out his hand as he started caressing Ares which was beside him. Ares tilted its head back as it rubbed its head against Hao Cang¡¯s palm.

    ¡°It seems like it.¡±

    Hao Cang squinted his eyes as he carefully considered the entire situation. Suddenly, his phone rang. A smirk appeared on his face as he took a nce at his phone.

    ¡°It seems likedy luck is smiling on me,¡± Hao Cang told the butler. He continued, ¡°Where do you think earthquake cat is hiding at?¡±

    ¡°Where?¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao,¡± Hao Cang replied excitedly. He continued, ¡°Nekomata saw him bringing earthquake cat back to his apartmentst night.¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao? This means that he came to the old town yesterday? It seems like Isabe was all but a distraction. She secretly passed the earthquake cat to him, someone nobody would expect to be strong enough to steal earthquake cat.¡±

    ¡°Hahaha, no wonder he rejected my offer to join the team,¡± Hao Cang said as his eyes flickered with anger. He said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid this guy is not as weak as I thought. Maybe he even has the backing of the Americans.¡±

    The butler replied, ¡°Master, I will go over now and get the earthquake cat back for you.¡± The butler was disgruntled after failing to capture earthquake cat when it was right in front of him.

    ¡°Wait. For him to be recruited by the Americans means that he is quite strong. Bring along Four-Eyed, Golden-Haired, and Ah Tao. The 4 of you should be able to take care of him.¡±

    Lucifer which was resting on the couch heard their conversation and immediately went over to Hao Cang and typed on his phone, ¡°Do not kill Zhao Yao.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Lucifer. I will not kill him.¡± Hao Cang assured Lucifer. Hao Cang then turned his head to the butler and instructed, ¡°Capture Zhao Yao and bring him back here.¡± After Lucifer walked away, Hao Cang made a hand gesture which ordered the butler to kill Zhao Yao.

    Hao Cang was displeased with the attention Lucifer had showered him with. He thought, ¡°It is better to kill people like Zhao Yao.¡±

    ¡°I know,¡± The butler understood Hao Cang¡¯s intention, but he warned Hao Cang, ¡°Master if I bring along Ah Tao, there will be no one left at your side.¡±

    Hao Cang¡¯s lips curled into a smile, and he replied, ¡°Other than an army, do you think that there¡¯s anyone in this world that¡¯s capable of hurting me? If Ah Tao stays here, do you think I¡¯m the one being protected or will I be the one protecting him instead?¡±

    ¡°I understand,¡± The butler lowered his head as he slowly took his leave.

    ...

    After one hour, Zhao Yao had finally reached the rooftop of the building. He saw Shi Yu lying on the floor unscathed and her phone by her side.

    ¡°What the f*ck happened,¡± Zhao Yao walked towards Shi Yu was and took her phone. He did not understand what was going on.

    Matcha started rubbing his body against Shi Yu¡¯s face and said, ¡°I think she has fallen asleep, but she¡¯s not hurt.¡±

    Zhao Yao was confused by the entire situation. Did the person ask him to meet here just so to trick him?

    Spirit cat was in a corner secretly observing the entire situation. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Zhao Yao, Matcha and Elizabeth rushing over. He thought, ¡°Alright, this probably means that Hao Cang¡¯s subordinate had captured earthquake cat. This will prevent Elizabeth from being taken away from Zhao Yao.¡±

    Zhao Yao started thinking hard and finally realized what had happened, ¡°No, this was done on purpose to lure me away.¡±

    He immediately opened his mouth and switched to Dust Ball¡¯s ability. He wanted to bring Matcha, Elizabeth and himself back to the caf¨¦. Suddenly, he noticed a shadow and saw Dust Ball streaking out.

    ¡°Dust Ball?¡± Zhao Yao sounded extremely stern as he questioned Dust Ball, ¡°What happened?¡±

    Dust Ball was panting heavily as he replied, ¡°A few apostles came barging into the caf¨¦.¡±

    Zhao Yao was flustered and asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to get everyone into the extradimensional belly if there was any danger? What happened to Baiquan, Mango, and Roly Poly?¡±

    ¡°Baiquan, Roly Poly and Mango had all been taken away.¡± Dust Ball was devastated as she continued exining, ¡°There were a total of 4 apostles and their movement was too fast. I only managed to get myself in and could not get the rest in. I couldn¡¯t save anyone.¡±

    Zhao Yao noticed how affected Dust Ball was. He calmed himself down and patted her head. Heforted her by saying, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. It will be okay. We will get all of them back.¡±

    Zhao Yao took out his phone and thought, ¡°Hopefully Roly Poly managed to bring his phone along.¡±

    ...

    Inside a van, there were twenty odd cats kept in cages. Baiquan had bruises all over his body, and he was sitting in the back seat. There was a footprint on his face. He looked like he was about to die.

    The teenager with the rainbow-colored hair drove the car and sniggered, ¡°This old man here is quite tough, he refused to let go even after I kicked his face.¡±

    Butler Xia who sat next to himmented, ¡°He is just stubborn. That¡¯s all.¡±

    The spectacled middle-aged man asked, ¡°Butler Xia, what will happen if the earthquake cat is not among them?¡±

    ¡°Even though Zhao Yao isn¡¯t here, I¡¯m sure the apostle knows a little about it,¡± Butler Xiamented as he took a look at Baiquan and the cats behind him. He continued, ¡°Maybe there are even more supercats among them. I¡¯m sure they¡¯ll know about the earthquake cat.¡±

    Just when they were discussing their next course of action, Roly Poly was carefully observing the four individuals. He constantly fidgeted his hand as if he was typing something in the air.

    Roly Poly had turned his phone invisible and was currentlymunicating with Zhao Yao

    ¡°It¡¯s a message from Roly Poly.¡±

    Zhao Yao read his message and was pleasantly surprised, ¡°He had managed to turn his phone invisible, and his assants have not realized it.¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately replied to Roly Poly¡¯s message, ¡°Roly Poly, are you inside their car now? Look out of the window and tell me any prominentndmarks or street signs that you can see.¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at Shi Yu who was still sleeping soundly. He carried her downstairs after ensuring that she was not hurt. He used his illusion to hide before waking Shi Yu up.

    Shi Yu struggled to her feet, and panically nced to her left and right. It seemed like she had no idea where she was. Zhao Yao nodded his head before he returned to his Panamera.

    Spirit cat decided to follow Zhao Yao. Spirit cat¡¯s forehead furrowed together. He was in a dilemma.

    ¡°Elizabeth, why are you following along?¡± A thought shed across spirit cat¡¯s head, ¡°Should I inform Ho Hao Cang? No, they would all be captured by Hao Cang if I informed him. However, I can¡¯t stop them with my strength alone.¡±

    Spirit cat was in agony. He was caught between informing Ho Hao Cang or stopping Zhao Yao and gang by his efforts alone.

    ¡°If it reallyes down to the crunch, I guess I would have to step up and save Elizabeth,¡± Suddenly, spirit cat starting to grin ear from ear. He thought, ¡°Wouldn¡¯t that make me a hero who saved the damsel in distress?¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao rammed his foot into the elerator as his Panamera dashed out like a bolt of lightning.

    Zhao Yao continually nced at his phone to ensure that he did not miss any vital information from Roly Poly.

    ¡°XX Highway?¡±

    ¡°XX Tunnel?¡±

    Roly Poly was on the constant lookout for street signs which the van wheezed by. Based on the information that Roly Poly has provided with, Zhao Yao had constructed a mental route towards the suburb in his head.

    He stepped harder against his elerator and his speed exceeded 100km/hr. With the sharpened awareness and reaction time endowed by ¡°Two is better than one¡±, Zhao Yao¡¯s Panamera was able to weave through the traffic and sped towards the suburb.

    ...

    Golden-Haired turned the van into an expressway. He hummed to the tune of ¡®Dusk till Dawn¡¯ as they made their way towards Hao Cang¡¯s mansion.

    While they were stuck at a traffic light, they saw a person walking tantly in the middle of the road.

    Golden-Haired squinted his eyes and took a better look. He said, ¡°Isn¡¯t that Zhao Yao?¡±

    The three other apostles immediately turned their head towards that person. Butler Xia squinted his eyes andmented, ¡°I don¡¯t know whether he¡¯s smart or stupid toe knocking at our door.¡±

    Golden-Haired startedughing before he continued, ¡°This guy is a r*etard. He is just an amateur, and dares toe knocking at our door?¡± He stomped his foot on the elerator, and his van flew in Zhao Yao¡¯s direction.

    Golden-Haired asked cold-bloodedly, ¡°Since there are no surveince cameras around here, can I just knock him down and kill him?¡±

    ¡°We still don¡¯t know where earthquake cat is, knock him down but don¡¯t kill him,¡± Butler Xia instructed coolly.

    Golden-Haired¡¯s lips curled in disgust when he heard butler Xia¡¯s cowardly remarks. However, he still did as he was told.

    Butler Xiamanded, ¡°Everyone get ready. Regardless of whether he managed to avoid the van, the 3 of us would jump out of the van. Golden-Haired, just continue to drive the van.¡±

    The van maintained at the astounding speed as the distance between Zhao Yao, and it shortened as every second passed. When the vehicle was just meters away from Zhao Yao, Golden-Haired licked his lips and exuded the aura of a cold-blooded killer.

    There was no change in butler Xia¡¯s facial expression. He just reached for the pistol in his pocket.

    Four-Eyed pupils started to constrict. He was extremely nervous.

    The bald man¡¯s, Ah Tao, lips curled into a devious smile. He had already begun picturing the massacre in his head.

    Throughout the entire process, Zhao Yao just continued to stare coolly at the van which was speeding towards it. He did not seem worried that there was a chance that he might get knocked down by the van.

    Suddenly, with all four pairs of eyes focused on Zhao Yao, they noticed a red glimmer shing across Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes.

    Suddenly, Golden-Haired lost control of his body as his arms started spinning the steering wheel uncontrobly.

    The sudden change of direction threw the van into the air, and it started rolling towards Zhao Yao¡¯s path after it crashed to the floor.

    Just when the van was about to crash into Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao opened his mouth, and the van had been absorbed into his belly. At the same time, Zhao Yao noticed a few shadows streaking out.

    The 4 of them had reacted to the situation and had activated their powers.

    Four-Eyed¡¯s body started to coat itself in metal. Zhao Yao noticed that visible air currents were streaming around Ah Tao¡¯s body.

    Golden-Haired dove into the ground as if the floor had turned into an ocean. It seemed like he was the apostle who could turn the ground into fluid and moved around in it.

    Four-Eyed¡¯s entire body was coated in metal and was distinguishable by his iconic nking.

    Ah Tao¡¯s feet started spurting out air current as he slowly descended to the ground. If not for his appearance, some might even mistake him for being iron man.

    Zhao Yao saw the three powers on disy in front of him, and a thought shed across his head, ¡°Are they Ho Hao Cang¡¯s man?¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao, it seemed like you have picked the wrong guy to mess with,¡± Suddenly, the ground which Zhao Yao stepped on had turned into liquid, and he started sinking into it.

    Seeing that the sinking ground had trapped Zhao Yao, butler Xia immediately took out his pistol and aimed at Zhao Yao¡¯s head. Butler Xia demanded, ¡°Zhao Yao, where¡¯s earthquake cat?¡±

    Both Four-Eyed and Ah Tao heaved a sigh of relief when they thought that everything was under their control. Frankly, they were frightened when they saw the entire van disappeared. However, they believed that Zhao Yao was not as powerful as they imagined when Golden-Haired quickly restrained him.

    Under the intense gaze of the four men, Zhao Yao¡¯s face turned expressionless, and he smirked, ¡°So you guys feel safe just like that?¡±

    Butler Xia pulled the trigger, and the bullet was inches away from hitting Zhao Yao¡¯s face. He bolted towards Zhao Yao and pressed his pistol against his stomach and said, ¡°I will smash your stomach into pieces with the next bullet. Trust me; I have ways to make you plead for your death.¡±

    Instead, Zhao Yao just smiled coolly at the threat. He responded, ¡°So this little toy is the source of your outrageous confidence?¡±

    Butler Xia squinted his eyes with his brows snapped together. He mumbled, ¡°Stubborn little brat.¡±

    Suddenly, golden mes erupted from Zhao Yao¡¯s body.

    ¡°Have you ever watched Dragon Ball?¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    All of them were astonished by what they saw. They could even feel the tremors in the ground and the roar of the gusting wind.

    Butler Xia, who was nearest to Zhao Yao, got blown away by the golden gust of wind like a leaf. Hended on his head, and the impact had crushed his entire spine. His organs had ruptured, and his blood had umted into a small puddle on the floor.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao palm struck the ground, and thend was torn into halves, revealing Golden-Haired who was hiding underneath with his mouth wide open.

    Golden-Haired stared at Zhao Yao, and he could not believe his eyes. Zhao Yao held him by his neck and threw him into the sky. The impact of the throw contorted Golden-Haired¡¯s body as he flew into the air.

    Zhao Yao aimed his palm at Golden-Haired which seemed like a small dot now. A golden beam of light erupted from Zhao Yao¡¯s palm and instantly vaporized Golden-Haired.

    ¡°Run!¡± Butler Xia had just regained consciousness and saw the true power of Zhao Yao. He knew there was only one thing to do ¨C escape.

    Suddenly, he heard a shrilling scream and turned his head around. He saw Zhao Yao teleporting in front of Four-Eyed andnded a light punch on his body.

    Before his punch even made contact with Four-Eyed, a loud re erupted in his ears, and Four-Eyed had been blown into pieces.

    The impact from Zhao Yao¡¯s punch swept down the concrete road, destroying anything which was in its way.

    Ah Tao was shaking like a leaf as he looked at Zhao Yao. He pleaded, ¡°I give up! I give up!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes shed a glimmer of golden light when he replied, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I do not ept surrenders here.¡±

    Suddenly, a golden pir of light shot out from Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes and vaporized Ah Tao¡¯s body in a millionth of a second.

    The air particles surrounding the pir of light had been distorted due to the intense heat it emanated. It also left behind a 10 meters long burnt mark on the ground.

    ¡°Monster!¡± Butler Xia was shocked beyond words by this scene. He never thought it was possible for humans to reach this level. He stumbled and crawled as he made his way back to Hao Cang¡¯s mansion.

    Zhao Yao started rolling around withughter when he saw butler Xia struggling to make his way back. He turned around and saw the van intact, and stopped by the side of the road.

    Golden-Haired, Four-Eyed and Ah Tao were just lying inside the van. Baiquan and the cats which were in the vehicle were also unscathed.

    What butler Xiao and the three other apostles had seen were just images conjured by Zhao Yao¡¯s perfect illusion.

    Butler Xiao thought he had witnessed what Zhao Yao was capable of and was scurrying back to report everything to Ho Hao Cang.

    Zhao Yao stretched his finger inside Dust Ball¡¯s mouth and started fishing for something. He said, ¡°I remember putting a Man hemp inside here.¡±

    Dust Ball was gagging from Zhao Yao¡¯s finger. She could not even say a word during the process.

    ¡°Wait a moment, I¡¯m going to find it soon,¡± Zhao Yao concentrated on locating the rope from Dust Ball¡¯s belly. He nned to tie the remaining three apostles up and restrained them.

    After restraining the three apostles, Zhao Yao quickly followed behind butler Xiao as he made his way towards the mansion.

    ...

    Inside the mansion, Hao Cang was sitting in the middle of the grand hall. Today¡¯s mission was kept a secret. Other than his five supercats, there was no one else left inside the building.

    Currently, all 5 of his supercats, including Ares and Lucifer, were either lying in Hao Cang¡¯s arms, resting beside his feet or justzing on the sofa.

    Hao Cang was shocked to see butler Xiao stumbling back to the mansion.

    Ho Hao Cang raised his eyebrow and asked, ¡°Butler Xia, what happened? Where is the cat?¡±

    Based on butler Xia¡¯s report back at the caf¨¦, they had managed to capture Zhao Yao¡¯s subordinate and the cats even though Zhao Yao himself was not there. However, all Hao Cang saw was a distressed butler Xia.

    Butler Xia raised his head, but his face was still quivering with fear. He mumbled, ¡°Zhao Yao is here. He has ughtered Golden-Haired, Four-Eyed, and Ah Tao. Master! We have to run now! Even you are no match for him!¡±

    Hao Cang¡¯s brows drew together, and he asked, ¡°Butler Xia, do not panic. Calm down. Recall the incident just now and tell me what his ability is?¡±

    ¡°There is no time!¡± A vein popped on butler Xiao¡¯s forehead, and cold sweat erupted on his face. He shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao will be here anytime. Master, we have to leave now! If not, it will be toote!¡±

    Ho Hao Cang did not believe a word butler Xiao uttered. Furthermore, he had absolute confidence in his abilities and powers.

    Suddenly, a line appeared between Hao Cang¡¯s brows, and he said coolly, ¡°He is already here.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Butler Xia immediately turned his head back, but he could not see anyone standing at the door.

    ¡°Can¡¯t you see him? He¡¯s standing right on our doorstep.¡± Hao Cang was puzzled by butler Xia¡¯s confused look. Butler Xia was not lying when he said he could not see Zhao Yao.

    Butler Xia repeated, ¡°I cannot see him!¡±

    ¡°This should be his power.¡± Ho Hao Cang gazed at Zhao Yao before he whispered, ¡°Is it some sort of illusion?¡±

    Zhao Yao chewed on his lower lip, and he thought, ¡°So this guy is really Ho Hao Cang.¡± Zhao Yao had met him previously at the caf¨¦. However, he did not know his real identity then.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, he¡¯s not affected by my illusion,¡± Elizabeth whispered into Zhao Yao¡¯s ears. She continued, ¡°It was like the previous time in the cafe where he was immune to the effects of Celestial Beats. Illusion too could not affect him.¡± A red glimmer shed across Elizabeth¡¯s eyes, and she concluded, ¡°I also cannot control his body.¡±

    Hao Cang chortled and asked, ¡°Are you trying to use your power against me?¡± Hao Cang remained seated in his chair with the smirk on his face. He had no intention to get on his feet. However, his five cats had started gathering around him.

    ¡°It¡¯s useless,¡± Hao Cang roared as he caressed the cat in his arms, ¡°Zhao Yao, my power is invincible. I admit that you are pretty strong given the fact that you defeated butler Xiao.

    I¡¯m giving you ast chance because I see you as a talent. Give up earthquake cat and join my side.¡± Suddenly, the smirk vanished from his face, and he stared daggers at Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes and said, ¡°Or you die!¡±

    As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand, and an invisible force erupted in the air. It was as if an invisible wall hade crashing into Zhao Yao.

    This attack would have crushed an ordinary person. However, Zhao Yao¡¯s reaction, observation and speed far exceeded that of an average person with ¡°Two is better than one¡±. He immediately grabbed Elizabeth and Matcha and took a step behind the door.

    ¡°Oh?¡± Hao Cang seemed pretty surprised by Zhao Yao¡¯s movement, but he remained in his seat. Hemented, ¡°Your reaction is quite fast.¡±

    Zhao Yao ced Elizabeth and Matcha on the floor and instructed, ¡°Wait for me outside. This guy is quite strong.¡±

    Both Matcha and Elizabeth knew that Zhao Yao was not kidding. They looked into his eyes before retreating. They did not leave but merely waited outside in case anything happened.

    Spirit cat was also there. He had stalked Elizabeth all the way and let out a long sigh of despair when he sensed the impending battle between Zhao Yao and Hao Cang.

    ¡°All my efforts have gone down the drain. But I don¡¯t think anything would happen to Elizabeth.¡±

    ¡°I apud you for your response,¡± Hao Cangmented when he saw Zhao Yao getting the cats out of harm¡¯s way. He nodded his head and said, ¡°I guess I won¡¯t have to worry about hurting your cat.¡±

    Butler Xia was bewildered by the scene as he could only see Hao Cang speaking to the air and did not know what had happened. He was still under Elizabeth¡¯s illusion.

    Hearing Hao Cang¡¯s provocative words, Zhao Yao just smiled and replied, ¡°You are strong and stubborn, I guess I can only do one thing to you. Destroy you!¡±

    Bam! At the moment when thest word rang in Hao Cang¡¯s ears, Zhao Yao had already disappeared from his sight. With Hao Cang¡¯s body as the epicenter, a barrage of explosion erupted in the air. It sounded as if a few bombs had simultaneously detonated at Hao Cang¡¯s position.

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao appeared 5 meters in front of him. With a swirl, he vanished into thin air again.

    Inside his extradimensional belly, Zhao Yao scratched his chin and thought, ¡°This is bad, this guy has ayer of protective shell around him. My barrage of attacks during the time previous did not affect him.¡±

    During the previous time freeze, Zhao Yaomenced his assault on Hao Cong from all angles. However, his body was wrapped in a protectiveyer, and it extended to his five cats. He could not prate theyer no matter how hard he hit.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll have to wait for my 6 seconds of cooldown before Imenced my next wave of attack.¡±

    Hao Cang was lost when he saw Zhao Yao disappearing into thin air again.

    ¡°Disappear, attack, disappear,¡± Hao Cang was reying the images from just now as he tried to process the information.

    ¡°The first disappearance was sudden, but he swirled into the second disappearance. What kind of power is it?¡± Hao Cang stared forward, but there was no one in the hall. He scratched his chin and thought, ¡°He went into hiding after his first wave of attack. Is he waiting to use his second wave?¡±

    ¡°No matter what, as long as I maintain Ares¡¯s defense, he would not be able to hurt me, and I would be invincible.¡± Hao Cang immediately instructed, ¡°F¨±jin and Destroyer, find him!¡±

    A Siamese cat which was draped in dark fur meowed in response. Following the meow, huge gusts of wind erupted from its body and the waves it created swept through the hall.

    It was apparent that the Siamese cat could alter the air current on its skin. Currently, it had turned the air into gusts of wind which swept across the hall in search of Zhao Yao.

    Within a few seconds, the Siamese cat had searched every nook and crannies in the hall but still could not find any trace of Zhao Yao.

    Suddenly, a gunshot erupted in the air, and the roar of the gun slicing through the air rang in Hao Cang¡¯s ears. A bullet and 12 long swords had simultaneously appeared in front of Hao Cang. However, they seemed to have been stopped by an invisible wall as they fell to the floor.

    During the time freeze, Zhao Yao had taken the pistol from butler Xia and retrieved the long swords he had stashed in the extradimensional belly.

    Again, Zhao Yao disappeared into thin air after a swirl.

    Hao Cang¡¯s jaws tightened after the second wave of attack.

    ¡°It was the same attack followed by the same method of disappearing,¡± However, Hao Cang noticed something, ¡°The point at which Zhao Yao appeared from was the same as the point he disappeared into.¡±

    Even though he had no clue about Zhao Yao¡¯s extradimensional belly, Hao Cang had understood that the entrance and exit of Zhao Yao¡¯s extradimensional belly was the same ce after two waves of attack.

    He nced at the Siamese cat and pointed at the point where Zhao Yao disappeared. The Siamese cat, F¨±jin, let out a giant roar and sent out gusts of strong wind at the position where Zhao Yao previously appeared from.

    ¡°No?¡± Hao Cang gritted his teeth. Upon noticing that F¨±jin had stopped its attack, he instructed, ¡°Continue using your power until he reappears.¡± He had an inkling as to how Zhao Yao¡¯s power worked.

    After 6 seconds, Zhao Yao exited from his extradimensional belly and received a warming wee from the huge gusts of wind.

    Even with his sharpened reaction time from ¡°Two is better than one¡±, Zhao Yao still required time to switch to Matcha¡¯s ability of time freeze from Dust Ball¡¯s ability. The massive gust of winded smashed against his body during the transition, and it left arge blue-ck on his chest.

    If he took a little more time to switch to Matcha¡¯s ability, the injuries would have been far worse.

    ¡°This hurts!¡± Zhao Yao stared at Hao Cang and mumbled, ¡°Is it a coincidence or has he already discovered the weakness to Suck Me In?¡±

    However, from his previous waves of attack, Zhao Yao had a rough gauge as to the size of Hao Cang¡¯s protective shell.

    ¡°It has a radius of 3 meters, and bullets cannot prate it. Even Elizabeth¡¯s illusion cannot prate it.¡± Suddenly, Zhao Yao¡¯s lips curled into a smile. He sniggered, ¡°But you still have to breathe.¡±

    Next, he retrieved the packets of paprika and lime power from his belly and poured them all over Hao Cang¡¯s body.

    After doing this, he immediately exited by the door before switching to Dust Ball¡¯s ability and reabsorbed himself in his belly.

    Even though he had no idea whether Hao Cang¡¯s attack was purely coincidental or he had already started to understand extradimensional belly, Zhao Yao did not want to take any risk. Hence, he hid from Hao Cang¡¯s field of vision before using Suck Me In.

    What Hao Cang saw was Zhao Yao getting hit by F¨±jin¡¯s gust of wind and got blown out of the hall and had disappeared. Before Hao Cang could react to the paprika and lime powder falling onto his body, he had already breathed in the powders. Some of them evennded in his eyes.

    ¡°What is this?¡± With the paprika in his eyes and nose, the surge of spiciness erupted in his body. Hao Cang let out a giant roar as his invisible shield appeared from the air and swept the powder away.

    This is the power he had borrowed from Ares. With his body as the epicenter, he could repel any sorts of object, radiation or attack from his body.

    Even bullets, fire, and special powers could be repelled.

    This included Elizabeth¡¯s power of illusion. As long as he did not want any powering near to his body, he could repel them away from him.

    He could even expand the size of this shield. The shield would stop any objects that flew towards it before they fall to the ground.

    However, he still had to breathe, and he never repelled air flow or air particles froming near his body.

    ¡°A*shole, how did he manage to discover my weakness!¡± Hao Cang began coughing incessantly as tears welled up in his eyes.

    Even though paprika might sound like an ingredient used for cooking, its spiciness was not based on our taste buds but was a sensation derived from a chemical process.

    If you inhaled an excessive amount of paprika into your body, you might even die.

    As for lime powder, excessive inhtion of it might lead to blindness if left untreated.

    ¡°This is a brilliant strategy, but it¡¯s not enough!¡± Hao Cang gritted his teeth as he endured the pain. Hemanded, ¡°Ares, defend me while Lucifer heals my wounds now!¡±

    Ares had already taken back its power and opened its sphere of shield. Lucifer ced its paw on Hao Cang and lent him its super-regeneration powers.

    With the power of regeneration, he started recovering from the damage he sustained from inhaling paprika and lime powder. He even managed to expel the grains of powder from his body.

    ¡°Ares power alone was already strong enough. Combined with the power of Lucifer¡¯s regeneration, I¡¯m close to invincible.¡±

    Hao Cang covered his eyes which was flooded with tears as he sniggered, ¡°I just have to focus on recovering now. I also have to thank you for identifying Ares¡¯s weakness. Next time, I will even repelrge particte matter using my shield.¡±

    Hao Cang had never imagined such an attack from oveing his shield. However, after seeing how Zhao Yao had used it to hurt him, he would never leave such an opening again.

    However, Zhao Yao would never allow him to recover in peace.

    Suddenly, Hao Cang realized that there was a giant hole right beneath his feet.

    After Zhao Yao retreated to his extradimensional belly, he came out with his torchlight,pass and charged back out.

    While Hao Cang was busy settling the paprika and lime powder all over his body, Zhao Yao had activated Dust Ball¡¯s ability and had absorbed the cement underneath Hao Cang.

    With Dust Ball¡¯s power, Zhao Yao had created an underground tunnel which led directly to where Hao Cang was.

    The effect of Dust Ball¡¯s power was almost instantaneous. Hence the construction of the tunnel took less than a second. The cement was quickly absorbed into Zhao Yao¡¯s belly.

    ¡°Hao Cang¡¯s shield seemed to have created a 360¡ã barrier with no blind spot. However, the barrier did not epass his feet.¡±

    ¡°If the barrier had shielded his feet, there should be cracks underneath where he sat, or there might even be a depression. Even if there were no cracks, there was a possibility that there was a gap between Hao Cang¡¯s feet and the floor.¡±

    ¡°However, there was no such gap between his feet and the floor.¡±

    ¡°By constructing a tunnel which leads to his feet, Zhao Yao would be able to enter the inside of his shield.¡±

    When Hao Cang noticed the enormous hole beneath him, a hand came flying out towards him and grabbed onto his ankle.

    ¡°Ares!¡± Just when Hao Cang wanted to alert Ares to redirect its ability, Hao Cang had already activated Elizabeth¡¯s illusion, and it had affected Hao Cang and his five cats.

    ¡°The 5 Senses!¡±

    The next moment, Ho Hao Cang¡¯s vision had turned dark, and he fell to the floor, unconscious. Zhao Yao finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Hao Cang and his cats all unconscious on the floor. Zhao Yao whispered, ¡°What a troublesome power. But, it¡¯s finally over!¡±

    Bam!

    A gunshot was heard. Zhao Yao turned around to see butler Xia.

    Butler Xia was under the influence of Elizabeth¡¯s illusion. Hence he should not be able to see the fight between Zhao Yao and Hao Cang previously. He should only see Hao Cang speaking to the air like a lunatic. Zhao Yao did not bother about butler Xia for this reason until now.

    ¡°Why did he fire a shot? He should not be able to see me. He was not aiming for me. He was aiming at Ho Hao Cang!¡± Zhao Yao finally reacted to the situation.

    Zhao Yao turned and saw arge gunshot wound on Hao Cang¡¯s head. He was bleeding profusely from it. His brain had stopped working and hence no longer influenced by Elizabeth¡¯s illusion.

    Suddenly, he got to his feet and grinned from ear to ear. He took out the hand grenade from his pocket.

    Seeing this, Zhao Yao immediately cast his perfect illusion on Hao Cang, to rid him of his five senses.

    However, his perfect illusion only managed to remove his ability to perceive his surroundings. Hao Cang could still control his body.

    Without his sense of smell, sight, touch, hearing, and taste, Hao Cang removed the pin from the hand grenade.

    ¡°F*ck!¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s jaw dropped as he immediately switched to Matcha¡¯s power and activated time freeze.

    When the world was at a standstill, Zhao Yao dashed over to Hao Cang and tried to snatch the grenade from his hand.

    ¡°This guy! Why is his grip so tight?¡±

    A vein popped out in Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead as he was not sure if he could remove the grenade from his hand and throw it away in 6 seconds.

    ¡°If I absorb the grenade into my belly, it might injure ??????????earthquake cat which was still inside.¡±

    Zhao Yao had no time to think through his choices. He grabbed the five supercats lying on the floor and bolted out of the door.

    When time resumed, he was grabbing two cats by the neck in each hand and held thest one using his mouth. He managed to run 20 meters away from the building along with Matcha and Elizabeth.

    Bam!

    The grenade exploded, and the impact of the explosion swept across the entire area. Zhao Yao crouch on the floor but could still hear the buzzing in his ear.

    He got to his feet and immediately dashed back into the mansion.

    He thought, ¡°He was just trying to escape from my illusion by chasing me away with the explosion!¡±

    When he returned to the hall, all he saw were the blood and minced meat scattered all over the floor. Both butler Xia and Ho Hao Cang were gone.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s ears started twitching as he used his passive power of ¡°Two is better than one¡± to detect even the faintest sound in the surrounding. Suddenly, he swept his head in a direction and shouted, ¡°There!¡±

    Meanwhile, Matcha noticed the five unconscious cats lying on the floor and immediately pounced on them. He started to p the Persian cat, Ares, on its cheeks.

    Matcha noticed Elizabeth standing there dumbfounded and immediately shouted at her, ¡°Why are you still standing there doing nothing? Attack!¡±

    Elizabeth was stunned by Matcha¡¯s words, ¡°Attack?¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t Zhao Yao return to the mansion? Isn¡¯t he still fighting against the bad guys? Just use your power to control them!¡±

    Even though both Matcha and Elizabeth had no idea what was going on in the fight just now, she agreed with Matcha that the best thing for her to do was to control them and take their power back from the apostles. Suddenly, a red glimmer shed across Elizabeth¡¯s eyes, and she had started working on Ares.

    ¡°Take back their power!¡±

    ¡°Next one!¡±

    Zhao Yao ran out of the mansion and into the garden. Before long, he heard screaminging from the eastern side of the garden.

    Both Ho Hang Cang and butler Xiay on the fields. Hao Cang wanted to use his power of regeneration before he self-detonated to force Zhao Yao to retreat.

    Butler Xia¡¯s entire body was a mess. His head had been impaled by a ball bearing from the grenade explosion. Initially, he still had the power of self-regeneration and was recovering from the injuries. However, the ability was suddenly taken away from him, and it seemed like he had stopped breathing as well.

    All of Ho Hao Cangs¡¯ limbs were broken. There was a giant open wound across his body, and you could even see his organs. He was also on the verge of death. He stared at Zhao Yao with his vengeful eyes. His expression emanated an intense anger and hopelessness.

    Zhao Yao then understood what had happened. He thought, ¡°Elizabeth must have taken control of the supercats and taken power back from their apostles.¡±

    Zhao Yao stared at Hao Cang and said, ¡°You are truly a ruthless man.¡±

    ¡°Some people would rather choose to die than to lose.¡± Hao Cang did not answer Zhao Yao¡¯s question but stared straight into his eyes and asked, ¡°What exactly is your power? Tell me! I cannot die without knowing it!¡±

    Hao Cang¡¯s eyes had started losing focus, and his breathing grew weaker and weaker. He was about to die.

    Zhao Yao let out a long sigh and cast his perfect illusion. He whispered two words which could only be heard by Hao Cang.

    ¡°Time freeze.¡±

    Hao Cang¡¯s lips curled into a smile when he heard those two words.

    ¡°It exins everything.¡± Hao Cang finally understood all the anomalies in the battle, all the sudden disappearance and reappearance. He seemed somewhat relieved with a tinge of regret, anger, and despair. He said, ¡°Zhao Yao, use your power ...¡±

    Hao Cang reached out his hand. It seemed like he wanted to grab something or say something.

    However, he had lost hisst ounce of strength before he could say anything. His hand just fell to the floor.

    Zhao Yao sighed as he returned to Matcha.

    ¡°We have to go.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the five unconscious cats and kept all of them with him. He destroyed all the security footages in the mansion before casting an illusion and leaving the ce.

    Just when Zhao Yao had left the mansion, spirit cat had appeared out of thin air and floated in front of Ho Hao Cang.

    He had witnessed the entire fight just now. He was taken aback by both parties¡¯ wit, intelligence and their adaptability.

    Ho Hao Cang which he thought was invincible had fallen to Zhao Yao.

    His eyes flickered with sadness as he looked at Hao Cang lying lifelessly on the floor.

    Zhao Yao left the mansion and carefully ced the five supercats at the back of his car. He then drove the van into a secluded corner before he parked it. By then, Baiquan was who unconscious in the vehicle had already regained woken up and repented, ¡°Boss, I¡¯m so sorry. I¡¯m so sorry.¡±

    ¡°What are you apologizing for? You are still a rookie, it is impossible for you to ovee the ambush by the 4 of them,¡± Zhao Yao said with a kind smile on his face.

    Baiquan was a little confused and started asking, ¡°Boss, who are those few people? Why do they also have a superpower?¡±

    Zhao Yao knew that he could no longer keep up with the lie. He decided to divulge some information regarding the supercats and apostles.

    ¡°After a cat awakens its superpower, it can lend this power to human beings. These humans who have received the power are known as apostles,¡± Baiquan could not believe his ears. He just mumbled, ¡°So this is how it all works.¡± Baiquan had started suspecting the cats after spending the past month in the caf¨¦. His encounter with the apostles and Zhao Yao¡¯s words only confirmed his hypothesis.

    ¡°Your power of invisibility is given to you by Roly Poly. We have a few supercats at our caf¨¦, each with their unique power. Shi Yu is an official sent by the government, so she can be considered a liaison between the government and us,¡± Zhao Yao exined.

    ¡°The government knows about this?¡±

    ¡°Of course, if not how do you think I was able to open this caf¨¦? This opportunity was only given to me because I¡¯m the strongest apostle in Jiangmen city,¡± Zhao Yao could sense that Baiquan was trying hard to process all these information. Zhao Yao continued, ¡°The apostle¡¯s world is a dangerous world. Your encounter today is a good example. If you¡¯re unlucky, you might get killed. I¡¯ll be sending you back to the caf¨¦; I won¡¯t stop you if you decide to leave.¡±

    ¡°Leave?¡± Baiquan said as he raised his brow. He continued excitedly, ¡°How can I leave? After spending so many years in the relentless rat race, I have a whole new world staring right at me. It¡¯s a chance that not many are given. How can I leave? I¡¯m more than excited to join you.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes when he realized Baiquan was bent on continuing down this path as an apostle. Zhao Yao had already said his piece.He knew that Baiquan was not an evil person or whatsoever, he was just a little idealistic.

    Furthermore, supercats registered in his BOOK cannot lend their powers to other apostles. Hence, he did not have to worry about Baiquan abusing Matcha¡¯s power.

    ¡°Whatever makes you happy,¡± Zhao Yao said as he shrugged his shoulders. He continued, ¡°However, we have to take care of the three men and five cats here.¡±

    Baiquan stared at them viciously and asked, ¡°Do you want me to throw them into the bottom of the sea or should I chop their body into pieces?¡±

    ¡°F*ck you! Who said anything about destroying their bodies?¡± Zhao Yao immediately pped Baiquan on his face. Zhao Yao said, ¡°Leave them to the police. However, there are some things for us to do to prevent the police from suspecting us before I hand them over to Inspector Ho.¡±

    Zhao Yao already had an idea to contact Inspector Ho using an anonymous phone. However, Ho Hao Cang¡¯s deathplicated the entire situation.

    ¡°This is going to be quite troublesome. Why did Ho Hao Cang have to die? I¡¯m not sure what Inspector Ho would do when he receives the news.¡±

    ¡°Now, I need to focus on removing any evidence that might lead to the police suspecting me. The wounds on their bodies were all inflicted using hand grenade so it won¡¯t implicate me. I¡¯ve also destroyed the security footages in his mansion.

    All that was left were the testimony given by these three guys. I will just use my illusion to imnt a fake memory in their head,¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s lips had already curled into a smile at the thought of it.

    Zhao Yao looked towards Baiquan, Roly Poly, Dust Ball and asked, ¡°Do you know what¡¯s their reason foring to the caf¨¦?¡±

    Dust Ball hesitated for a moment before replying, ¡°I think they¡¯re here for a cat.¡±

    Baiquan continued, ¡°Oh yes! They kept asking if I knew where you were and whether I knew where earthquake cat was.¡±

    ¡°Earthquake cat?¡± Zhao Yao was stunned by Baiquan¡¯s response. He thought, ¡°How did they know that earthquake cat was in my hands?¡±

    However, Zhao Yao did not give it further thought as his priority was to prevent the police from suspecting him.

    During the previous encounter, Golden-Haired, Four-Eyed and Ah Tao were robbed of their senses and did not even see Zhao Yao¡¯s face. To them, they only saw the van turning into this small street before they went unconscious.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°So it¡¯s up to my creativity to fill in the nks.¡±

    Zhao Yao used his illusion to prate into their brains and filled it up with an borately constructed story. What they saw, heard, experienced in the next half an hour were what Zhao Yao wanted to show them to get himself off the hook.

    The three of them in the van had a different experiencepared to butler Xia. Instead of seeing Zhao Yao¡¯s Super Saiyan strength, they were just robbed of their senses and fell unconscious.

    In Zhao Yao¡¯s carefully constructed story, they were attacked by a golden-haired woman. She took away one cat from the cages after defeating them. However, butler Xia managed to take it back in the end.

    Butler Xia ran back to the mansion to ask Hao Cang for reinforcement. The woman quickly chased behind while they followed behind her.

    However, the woman¡¯sbat prowess was just too strong. She was spot on with every shot she took and easily dodged all their attacks. Then, she started killing Ho Hao Cang, butler Xia, and the five supercats.

    The cat that she tried to steal was earthquake cat in disguise. This intensified the battle between them.

    After thest grenade¡¯s explosion, the three of them were knocked unconscious by the impact. However, they saw Ho Hao Cang and butler Xia running towards the garden before they fainted.

    Zhao Yao had imnted this intricate false memory in their head. To them, this was the truth.

    In the false memory, the golden-haired woman who killed Ho Hao Cang was Isabe.

    ¡°She is a CIA agent; I¡¯m sure she can handle it.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head and continued, ¡°Isabe had used a mysterious power to disguise earthquake cat and hid it in Zhao Yao¡¯s caf¨¦. However, Ho Hao Cang realized, and after a heated discussion, Isabe killed him and took away the cat.¡±

    Baiquan saw the three men lying unconscious in the hall and asked, ¡°Is it okay to just leave them here? This is a really secluded ce with no one around. It might take some time before anyone realized that something had happened.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve already controlled a passerby and used him to contact the police, they¡¯ll be here soon.¡± Zhao Yao started giving his head a gentle massage. The perfect illusion which he had used over the past two days had taken a toll on his body.

    It was worse after constructing the false memory for the three apostles. There was a throbbing pain in his head.

    Baiquan asked, ¡°How about the bodies at the garden? Are we going to leave them there?¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head when he heard Baiquan¡¯s question, ¡°It¡¯s okay. It fits the story where they self-detonated using the hand grenade. Let¡¯s go now; Inspector Ho will be here soon.¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately expelled his Panamera from his belly and ced all the cats inside it.

    Baiquan¡¯s forehead furrowed and asked, ¡°Wouldn¡¯t the security cameras catch us if we go on the highway?¡±

    ¡°It is natural for us to be caught on the camera since our movement was already captured when we were traveling towards the mansion,¡± Zhao Yao chucked, ¡°However, we were not involved in the fight. We were just alerted by our sources and came here. But we saved the cats from the van and escaped.¡±

    ¡°Just like this, we would have evidence and testimony which would point towards Isabe. They might start questioning us during their investigation. Remember to stick to this story.¡±

    ¡°I understand.¡±

    Zhao Yao then sped down the highway towards his caf¨¦.

    A thought shed past his head while he was driving, ¡°There shouldn¡¯t be much problem on Inspector Ho¡¯s side. However, what am I supposed to do with these five cats?¡±

    Suddenly, new words appeared on his mission panel again.

 Chapter 152: Now What?!

    <h4>Chapter 152: Now What?!</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    With Ho Hao Cang¡¯s death, Zhao Yao hadpleted his mission to take down the cat thief¡¯s organization and received 600 experience points from it.

    Mission: Supercats also require guidance and teaching.

    Objective: Teach the five cats from the cat thief¡¯s organization and impart them with knowledge. You have half a year for them to ept you as their leader.

    Reward: You will be rewarded experience points for each cat which epts you as their leader.

    Punishment: Nil

    ¡°Huh? What a troublesome mission?¡± Zhao Yao was reminded of his previous mission to bathe the cats.

    ¡°Earning their respect and making them ept me as their leader would be much harder than bathing them. Some of them might still regard me as their enemy.¡±

    ¡°Thank goodness I have half a year toplete this mission. I can slowly take my time to earn their respect.¡±

    When Zhao Yao returned to the cat caf¨¦, Shi Yu immediately rushed over and asked, ¡°What happened? Why is the caf¨¦ in such a mess with everything strewn all over the ce? Were we robbed?¡±

    Zhao Yao had already prepared his story to exin the situation, ¡°I¡¯m not sure, but I think someone came over to steal the cats. I caught up to a van with all the cats inside. However, there was no one inside.¡±

    Shi Yu nodded to Zhao Yao¡¯s story as she was still processing the magnitude of the entire situation.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s throbbing headache returned as he massaged his temples. He thought, ¡°Perfect illusion¡¯s toll on the body is significant.¡± Until now, he had continued to use his power to seal the five cats¡¯ senses. Who knew what they would do if they found out what had happened?

    Zhao Yao¡¯s headache only worsened when he saw the state of the caf¨¦, he looked at Shi Yu and Baiquan and said, ¡°Can you help me take care of the mess in the caf¨¦? I have something to attend to, and I have to leave first.

    Anyway, the caf¨¦ won¡¯t be opened for business today. I¡¯ll bring Matcha and the rest back first.¡±

    Zhao Yao did not bother to wait for their response and immediately brought the supercats back. The pounding pain in his head had made him extremely irritable.

    Shi Yu¡¯s eyebrow rose as she saw Zhao Yao hurrying out of the caf¨¦. She thought, ¡°Why does Zhao Yao seem so tired today?¡±

    Suddenly, she received a notification from WeChat. She took a nce and realized it was a message from Zhao Yao with an RMB 500 transaction.

    ¡°Use this money for any restoration works in the caf¨¦. Sorry to trouble you. I¡¯ll give you guys another reward at the start of the new month.¡±

    Zhao Yao could not reward them now as he had to maximize his revenue for the monthly mission.

    Zhao Yao immediatelyy on the sofa when he got home. However, he could not sleep just yet. He had to settle the five supercats.

    Matcha, Elizabeth, Dust Ball, and Roly Poly surrounded the five supercats which were lying on the sofa with their five senses all sealed.

    Matcha nced at the five cats and eximed, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! How do you n to deal with these cats? I suggest you leave the female cats to serve me while you can take the male cats.¡±

    Elizabeth rolled her eyes at Matcha¡¯s foolish remarks and asked, ¡°Zhao Yao! How do you n to handle them? Ho Hao Cang just manipted them. The ones whomitted the atrocities were the apostles themselves. These supercats did notmit any vice.¡±

    Bam! Roly Poly dashed towards the Persian cat, Ares, and threw his body onto it before pping it.

    Bam!

    ¡°Bully me?¡±

    Bam!

    ¡°You dare toe to my caf¨¦ and wreak havoc?¡±

    Bam!

    ¡°Who do you think you are?¡±

    Dust Ball got reminded of how cowardly Roly Poly behaved when the assants came charging into the caf¨¦. Dust Ball rolled her eyes and pressed her paws against his face. She said, ¡°Alright, stop embarrassing yourself.¡±

    Roly Poly pouted and stared at Dust Ball. He asked, ¡°Why do you have to hit my nose; I¡¯m just taking revenge against our enemies.¡±

    Dust Ball, Matcha, and Elizabeth all simultaneously turned to Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, what do you n to do with them?¡±

    Zhao Yao rubbed his eyes and tried his best to stay awake. He said helplessly, ¡°We¡¯ll just keep them somewhere safe first. I¡¯ll spend some time to teach and educate them and hopefully help them turn over a new leaf.¡±

    Zhao Yao activated Dust Ball¡¯s ability and absorbed the five cats into his extradimensional belly. However, he removed the seal on their five senses and cast a new illusion on all of them.

    When Ares woke up, it noticed that it was surrounded by darkness. There was only a glimmer of light shining in front of it. It could even hear Ho Hao Cang¡¯s voice.

    After sending the five cats into his extradimensional belly, Zhao Yao could finally take his long-awaited rest. He shut his eyes and immediately went to sleep.

    ...

    The five cats were no longer affected by the illusion since they were inside the extradimensional belly and were out of reach from the illusion.

    They had all been sent to the blue container.

    They started to break into a cold sweat when they realized that they had been captured in a tiny room.

    Ares, the strongest supercat among them, raised its paws and announced calmly, ¡°Do not worry! We are just momentarily transported to this ce by a mysterious power. We can escape if we all put our minds to it.¡±

    ¡°But where is Ho Hao Cang? Isn¡¯t he fighting against Zhao Yao?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me Zhao Yao had defeated him?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s impossible; I just heard his voice a moment ago.¡±

    ¡°Why are our bodies floating around?¡±

    The five supercats had been rescued by Zhao Yao before Hao Cang could detonate the hand grenade. Hence, they had no idea that Hao Cang was already dead.

    Ares raised its paws and waved them in the air to capture the cats¡¯ attention. It said, ¡°Calm down! Try to recall how each of you entered this ce.¡±

    After a round of discussion, they realized that all of them had entered under the same circumstances. All of them saw a glimmer of light and heard Hao Cang¡¯s voice. They followed his voice and suddenly appeared in this ce.

    ¡°This must be some sort of power capable of manipting space,¡± Ares thought. It could not help but started licking the fur on its tail to calm itself down.

    ¡°Let¡¯s rx by licking our fur.¡±

    ¡°Yes. The most important thing in a battle is to stay calm!¡±

    The four other supercats started licking their fur in unison, in an attempt to calm their nerves.

    After a careful deliberation, Ares concluded, ¡°This power can most likely create a new dimension. Currently, we are all floating inside it and cannot move around freely.¡± Ares tried to wriggle its body, but it was close to impossible to move in this space.

    The Siamese cat, F¨±jin, raised its paw and said, ¡°I am still able to move around by altering the air flow around me.¡±

    This Siamese cat had ck fur on its face and white fur on the rest of its body. It managed to roam around the container by using its power.

    The remaining cats were inspired by F¨±jin and tried to move around as well. It was not impossible, but it was a somewhat cumbersome process.

    ¡°That¡¯s good! Try to find a way out of this ce!¡± Ares announced.

    After a round of searching, Lucifer, the cat with the power of regeneration, raised an object in the air and shouted, ¡°A phone! A phone! I found a phone!¡±

    All of the cats turned their heads towards the phone. At that moment, the phone emanated a holy glow because it carried their hopes of escaping the ce.

 Chapter 153: Whatâ€™s Worse Than Death?

    <h4>Chapter 153: What¡¯s Worse Than Death?</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    If we backtracked a few hours, we would see Zhao Yao casting an illusion on the three apostles while spirit cat floated around in the garden, staring at Ho Hao Cang and the butler.

    ¡°Hao Cang and butler Xia, you guys can¡¯t die just like that.¡±

    No matter what, both of them had taken him in and took care of him all these while. Spirit cat could not just stand there and watched them die.

    Spirit cat descended beside them and ced both its paws on butler Xia¡¯s chest. Suddenly, his body started disappearing and turned into a faint shadow. Spirit cat had lent his power to butler Xia and turned butler Xia into his spirit form.

    Just when he was about toplete his transformation, his body started shaking violently before it vaporized into the air. Butler Xia had left, with nothing left behind, not even his body.

    ¡°Even his spirit had been destroyed?¡±

    Nekomata heaved a long sigh of despair before moving on to Hao Cang. Nekomata did the same by cing his paws on Hao Cang¡¯s chest.

    ¡°Thank goodness! He is still notpletely dead yet.¡±

    The next moment, Nekomata had unreservedly transferred his power to Hao Cang.

    With Nekomata¡¯s power, Zhao Yao¡¯s body had turned into a faint shadow. However, instead of vaporizing like butler Xia, Hao Cang had sessfully transformed to his spirit form.

    Hao Cang¡¯s forehead furrowed as he looked towards Nekomata and asked, ¡°Nekomata? Did you save me? I remember I was dead already.¡±

    ¡°You were indeed dead, and my power is to transform the living into their spirit form which exins why you are still alive.

    However, your physical body had suffered too much damage, and it had already died. Your spirit lives on. This means that you can no longer revert to your physical body with blood and flesh. If you decide to try, you will die the moment you revert.¡±

    Hao Cang could notprehend cat¡¯s meows but based on Nekomata¡¯s actions and his current situation, he could guess what had happened.

    ¡°What should I do now?¡± Hao Cang asked Nekomata. Hao Cang raised his brow before he rephrased his question, ¡°Can I continue to live in this form?¡±

    Nekomata immediately shook his head.

    Hao Cang continued with a follow-up question, ¡°Are there any ways to salvage my physical body?¡± Nekomata replied with the same shook of his head. Hao Cang scratched his chin and was deep in thought.

    Nekomata got flustered, and he said, ¡°Your physical body is already dead. You will spend the rest of your life in your spirit form and have no chance of reverting to your physical body. However, you also cannotst long in this form as you will be depleted of energy soon. Hence, you can only continue surviving if you possess someone else¡¯s physical body and nourish your soul using it.¡±

    Despite how loud he meowed, Hao Cang could not understand a single word he tried to say.

    Suddenly, a brilliant idea shed across Nekomata¡¯s head as he started using a pebble to write on the sandy ground with his power of psychokinesis.

    Ho Hao Cang finally understood what Nekomata was trying to say. He eximed, ¡°So I just need to possess another human¡¯s body? I understand!¡±

    Hence, the cat and human pair floated out in search of their targets. After floating past a few streets, Hao Cang could already sense his soul getting weaker and weaker. His spirit had turned fainter in Nekomata¡¯s eyes. It seemed like it was going to vanish anytime now.

    ¡°Nekomata, I remember that you had to find individuals with weaker willpower and spirit to improve your chances of sessfully possessing their body.¡±

    Nekomata immediately nodded to Hao Cang¡¯s words. Hao Cang then gave up possessing the muscr bloke standing in front of him. They flew to a nearby district but still could not find any possible targets.

    Just when Hao Cang was about to turnpletely transparent, they noticed a little girl walking her dog.

    ¡°I guess this is my only option.¡± Hao Cang hesitated because he did not want to turn into a female, much less a young girl.

    Nekomata started meowing incessantly to remind Hao Cang that there was no time to waste. Hao Cang looked at himself and knew that Nekomata was right. He gritted his teeth and made his decision.

    ¡°There is no time for me to hesitate.¡±

    ¡°It must be you!¡±

    Hao Cang let out a loud road and bolted towards the little girl. It felt as if he had rammed his body against a mountain and his body had been shattered to pieces from the impact of the collision.

    Hao Cang thought, ¡°Am I toote? Has my spirit depleted to a state that I cannot even possess a young girl¡¯s body?¡±

    Just when Hao Cang was about to give up all hope, he suddenly felt a warm gush floating through his body. He felt as if he had entered a space which was extremelyfortable and cozy. The pain from the collision had slowly dissipated.

    ¡°Have I seeded?¡±

    Hao Cang tried to open his eyes and saw the little girl hugging himself. She seemed extremely worried and kept asking, ¡°Noodle! Noodle! What happened to you? Don¡¯t scare me!¡±

    ¡°Hmm, shouldn¡¯t I be inside the girl¡¯s body? Why is she hugging me?¡± Hao Cang was taken aback by what had happened. He tried to open his mouth, but instead of words, all he could say was woof.

    His body froze. He raised his hands to his eyes. However, all he saw was a pair of dog¡¯s paws.

    ¡°Woof! Woof!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve turned into a dog?¡±

    The little girl just saw her husky raising his paws in the sky. The husky then clutched his head between his paws and began howling.

    ¡°Nekomata! Nekomata! Get out now!¡±

    ¡°I promise you I will not kill you if youe out now.¡±

    ¡°No, I need to be a human! I need to take my revenge! I need, I need! D*mn it, why can¡¯t I seem to recall anything?¡±

    Hao Cang began sieving through the memories in his head, but all he saw were images of balls, bones, shitting and peeing. His spirit had already beenbined with the husky¡¯s by then.

    Nekomata was hiding at a corner while he fixed his eyes on the husky. He started rolling around withughter and thought, ¡°He can¡¯t even possess a little girl¡¯s body! He can only possess a dog?

    I didn¡¯t even know that this was possible. This deserves my observation!¡±

    The little girl tried to restrain her husky which broke out in hysterical cries. She shouted, ¡°Alright, Noodle, stop barking! We are going home now!¡±

    Woof! Woof!

    The husky was furious and started rolling on the floor. Hao Cang thought that this was worse than death.

    Hao Cang tried to escape from the husky¡¯s body. However, it seemed like he had lost the power the moment he possessed the husky¡¯s body. He also could not use the psychokinesis abilities and other skills which Nekomata possessed.

    Nekomata stared at the husky in front of him and thought, ¡°Did Hao Cang lose the ability because he was stuck inside a dog¡¯s body and a dog does not have the physical attributes required of an apostle?

    Does this mean that he is going to spend the rest of his life as a dog and he can never receive a supercat¡¯s power? The only difference between him and an ordinary dog is his intelligence.

    However, would his memory and intelligence deteriorate after entering the husky¡¯s body? This deserves my observation.¡±

    The little girl exhausted all her energy lugging the husky back home. She closed the gates and fed the dog some dog food before returning to her shower.

    The husky was lying on the floor with its tongue sticking out. He seemed extraordinarily listless and was not interested in the food lying in front of him.

    ¡°How did I turn into a dog?¡±

    ¡°Of all dogs, why did I be a husky?¡±

    ¡°How can such a thing happen to me?¡±

    Just when the husky was busying up with an idea to revert to a human, a chubby American Shorthair with silver fur and ck stripes sauntered towards him.

    The cat came over and started sieving through his dog food. The cat evenmented with a disdainful look, ¡°R*tard, were you out shitting again?¡±

    ¡°Tsk! I can¡¯t imagine you still have to shit out in the grass patch. You are truly a r*tard. Don¡¯t you know that higher beings like me use the toilet bowl instead?

    I don¡¯t think you can understand a single word I said.¡± The cat said smugly. It patted the husky on his cheeks and continued, ¡°You look so stupid from head to toe. What¡¯s the point of bing so big? If not for me, you would already have been thrown away.¡±

    The cat took a bite of the dog food before spitting it out immediately, ¡°Why doesn¡¯t it taste like salmon? It¡¯s disgusting!¡±

    Suddenly, the husky pped the cat across its face and sent it flying towards the wall. It rolled down the floor like a ball before colliding against the wall.

    The chubby cat never expected the husky to retaliate. The cat¡¯s eyes seethed with anger as if someone had offended him. He got to his feet and shouted at the husky.

    ¡°How dare you hit me with your dirty paw? Even Xiao Yu doesn¡¯t hit me!¡± The chubby cat, Fish Ball, stared at the husky with his fur all puffed up.

    ¡°Have you forgotten who the alpha in the house is?¡± The chubby cat stood on his hind legs as if he were a human. He shouted, ¡°I¡¯m going to use my ultimate ability!¡±

    The husky¡¯s lips drew back in a snarl as he stared at Fish Ball. Suddenly, a blinding beam of light emerged from its paws. The husky got ready for the impending battle between them.

    ¡°It is a supercat. From the looks of it, it has quite a powerful ability.¡±

    ¡°Are you scared? It¡¯s toote for that.¡± Fish Ball burst intoughter when he noticed the husky standing on guard. He reduced the giant beam of light into a tiny dot and pointed towards the husky.

    ¡°Is iting for me?¡± The husky was taken aback by the cat¡¯s sudden attack as he saw a white dot darting around on the floor.

    The corner of Fish Ball¡¯s mouth curled up as he moved his finger around which caused the beam of light to dart around on the floor.

    ¡°Meohahaha, chase it Noodle! This is your favorite toy! See how I am going to y with you, you silly dog!¡± Fish Ball dered.

    Based on his experience, the husky standing in front of it loved to chase after the dot projected by Fish Ball. Fish Ball always resorted to this when he was unhappy or irritated. The husky would chase after the dot incessantly till it was worn out.

    Fish Ball had even used this to trick the husky into breaking the vases and tearing the curtains. The husky received a beating from Xiao Yu¡¯s parents because of it.

    ¡°Meowhahaha, you silly dog! Do you still dare to hit me in the future? I¡¯ll make you smash the television this time! I can¡¯t wait to see Xiao Yu¡¯s parents¡¯ reaction when they see it!¡±

    However, the truth was far from what Fish Ball imagined. The husky just stared at the dot on the floor nonchntly before fixing his eyes on Fish Ball.

    ¡°Trash cat with trash ability,¡± The husky rolled his eyes and sat down on the floor. It was indifferent to the dot zigzagging around in front of it.

    ¡°Why is this happening? This silly dog is no longer interested in chasing after the dot?¡± Fish Ball was bewildered by the scene.

    Fish Ball decided to change his game n. He started annoying the husky by shining it onto his body, face, and even his nose.

    However, the husky was apathetic towards it and continued lying on the floor. He stared at Fish Ball as if he was an idiot.

    ¡°How is this possible? Has my dot tactic failed? Has this silly dog grown smarter overnight?¡± Fish Ball stared with amazement at the dog lying in front of him.

    When Fish Ball was still in awe of the husky¡¯s transformation, a dull rumbling noise erupted from the husky¡¯s stomach.

    ¡°I¡¯m hungry,¡± The husky was famished, and he walked over to the dog food given by Xiao Yu and took a few sniffs.

    ¡°No, how can I eat dog food?¡±

    ¡°I am still a human, and I must maintain my dignity.¡±

    ¡°I would rather die than to eat dog food.¡±

    ¡°I need to find some way to get hold of some human food.¡±

    Just when the husky was devising an idea to achieve his objective, the fragrant smells of the food entered his nostrils and whetted his appetite. Every cell in his body was pushing him to devour the te of dog food left in front of him.

    After his first bite, he realized that his entire worldview had a 180¡ã change.

    He began devouring the food in front of him, and tears welled up in his eyes.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t know that dog food can be made so delicious!¡±

    The food given to it was not particrly delectable, it was chosen because it suited the husky¡¯s taste buds. A small amount of phagostimnt was also added to entice the dog.

    The husky let out a satisfying burp after polishing off all the food. He thought, ¡°It must be the fooda from the good food! I need to find somece to rest first. I¡¯ll think about reverting to a human after I catch up on some sleep.¡±

    He carefully surveyed his surroundings before settling on thergest pet bed. When he rested his body on it, he felt the soft andfortable cushion enveloped his entire body. It was as if he were sleeping on the fluffiest cloud in the sky.

    Fish Ball was infuriated when he saw the silly dog resting on his bed and shouted, ¡°Dumb Dog! Get Out!¡±

    ¡°This is my bed!¡±

    ¡°If you continue sleeping on it, I am going to fight it out with you!¡±

    The husky¡¯s ears twitched when he heard the bbering from Fish Ball. He immediately pped Fish Ball before turning his body around and adopted a morefortable position.

    Every action that the husky made was carefully scrutinized by the spirit cat hidden in the air.

    ¡°Why do I feel as if Hao Cang has changed?¡± Spirit cat¡¯s brows snapped together as he tried to recall every scene after Hao Cang had turned into a dog.

    It started off with his intense desire to turn back into a human. Then, he started fighting with Fish Ball before he sumbed to the dog food¡¯s temptation. Now, he was happily sleeping in a cat¡¯s bed. Something had changed dramatically.

    ¡°Is it behaving just like a dog already? The transformation is so fast!¡± The pupil in spirit cat¡¯s eyes constricted as he thought, ¡°His spirit had been slowly corroded by the dog¡¯s body since he first entered it. His behavior had been slowly molded by the dog¡¯s inherent instincts. Maybe his soul had alreadybined with the husky¡¯s soul.¡±

    ¡°It also seems as if his intelligence had plummeted. Is it because the dog was quite dumb to start with?¡±

    Spirit cat looked at Hao Cang helplessly who was sleeping soundly in the cat bed.

    ¡°This will be troublesome.¡±

    All of a sudden, spirit cat saw Fish Ball jumping in front of Hao Cang¡¯s face, and a glimmer of light started blinking in his palms.

    ¡°Meowhaha, I¡¯m going to turn you blind with this blinding light!¡±

    Husky opened his eyes and stared at the faint blinking light in front of him with annoyance. He could not sleep with this irritating cat continually disturbing him.

    Hence, the husky opened his mouth and grabbed onto Fish Ball by his neck using his mouth. He then ced him on thefortable bed.

    Fish Ball grinned from ear to ear as he thought that the husky had finally given up the bed to him. Fish Ball thought, ¡°Meowhaha, I guess he finally understood my true strength!¡±

    Suddenly, Fish Ball¡¯s vision turned dark as the husky nted his enormous butt on his face and sat on Fish Ball as if it were a cushion. It then returned to its sleep.

    Fish Ball immediately retaliated bymencing its relentless attack on the husky¡¯s butt. However, it was futile. Fish Ball gave up after a minute.

    The huskyfortably nudged his butt as he went into deep sleep.

    Spirit cat saw this scene and shook his head, ¡°It seems like the situation is worsening by the second.¡±

    Xiao Yu had just left the toilet after showering. She looked around the room and shouted, ¡°Fish Ball! Where are you?¡±

    Fish Ball frantically waved his paws under the husky¡¯s butt to capture Xiao Yu¡¯s attention.

    ¡°Fish Ball,e out now! Why were you making so much noise just now?¡± Xiao Yu grabbed her phone and suddenly her brows knitted together, and her eyes zed with anger. A terrifying aura emanated from her body.

    ¡°Where did my RMB 250 go?¡±

    Husky somehow knew that Fish Ball was in trouble and immediately woke up.

    Fish Ball which was frantically waving his paws around stopped all of a sudden and shrunk behind the husky¡¯s butt, out of Xiao Yu¡¯s sight.

    Ahh!

    Under the husky¡¯s watchful eyes, Fish Ball was dragged into the toilet as he screamed at the top of his lungs.

    His paws were frantically scratching against the floor, leaving behind trails of scratch marks.

    ¡°Help me!¡±

    ¡°This is animal cruelty!¡±

    No matter how Fish Ball struggled, Xiao Yu was adamant about dragging him into the toilet.

    Momentster, a blood-curdling scream erupted from the toilet which made the husky tremble in fear. He felt sorry for Fish Ball even though he had no idea what happened.

    ¡°He is too pitiful.¡±

    Just when the husky was feeling sorry for Fish Ball, Fish Ball came crawling out of the toilet all drenched. His face was covered with tears and mucus; he looked like a young girl who had just been raped.

    ¡°Save me!¡±

    Suddenly, a pair of white hands emerged from the toilet and grabbed onto Fish Ball¡¯s hind legs, sending him back to the bathroom. Fish Ball left behind a new trail of scratch marks on the floor.

    ¡°Is the cat going to die? Should I call the police?¡± Hao Cang stared dumbfounded at the scene with his mouth wide open.

    Chills went down his spine when the husky heard the screams again. He could not take it anymore and decided to crawl over to take a look at what had happened.

    Fish Ball was hiding in the corner of the toilet with his mouth wide open and face full of tears and mucus. He was drenched from head to toe with a puddle of water beneath his feet.

    Xiao Yu was holding on to a pail and poured buckets of water onto Fish Ball. Every drop of water which made contact with his skin left Fish Ball screaming for help.

    ¡°Help me,¡± As a stream of waternded on his legs.

    ¡°Help me!¡± The pail of water sshed all over his chest.

    ¡°Help me!¡±

    ¡°Xiao Yu! I am wrong! I will never do it again!¡± Fish Ball¡¯s phone was wrapped in a stic bag as his paws darted across the screen. Fish Ball frantically typed a string of words as he begged for forgiveness.

    Xiao Yu just aimed the next pail of water on his face, creating his ¡°tears¡±.

    ¡°Stop pouring water on me Xiao Yu! I am your favorite Fish Ball! I will catch a cold if you continue doing this!¡± Fish Ball stood up with his palms sped together begging for his life.

    ¡°You won¡¯t catch a cold in this weather. Tell me, why did you secretly use my money? Where did the money go?¡± Xiao Yu asked with her eyes staring right into Fish Ball.

    Fish Ball immediately exined everything to her, ¡°You cannot me me! It¡¯s all because of the bank! They froze your ount and my friend knew someone inside and asked me for a security deposit to solve the problem!¡±

    Xiao Yu was left speechless by his response. She thought, ¡°Why did I choose to raise such a stupid cat?¡±

    She grabbed onto Fish Ball by the neck and asked, ¡°Who did you transfer it to?¡±

    Fish Ball tilted his head to the side because he did not dare to make eye contact with Xiao Yu before he answered, ¡°I gave it to The Strongest Luban.¡±

    ¡°The Strongest Luban? You mean the cat in the WeChat group?¡± Xiao Yu asked with her eyes squinted together.

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes! It¡¯s him!¡±

    Shi Yu¡¯s eyes burned with rage as she gritted her teeth and shouted, ¡°I¡¯ll make him pay ten times more for what he did!¡±

    Fish Ball heaved a sigh of relief as he thought that all was finally over.

    ...

    Achoo!

    Matcha suddenly sneezed atop his massage throne as he began licking the fur on his stomach, ¡°The weather is so erratic nowadays, even a cat as strong as I cannot take this strange weather!¡±

    He nced at Roly Poly who was eagerly waiting for dinner. Since feeding Roly Poly with the imaginary fried chicken, he had always looked forward to meal time.

    ¡°Roly Poly,e here.¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s forehead furrowed together, and he thought, ¡°This guy is getting cocky nowadays, does he actually think that I¡¯m his subordinate?¡±

    Roly Poly dashed to the massage throne and grinned from ear to ear. He answered, ¡°Yes, boss?¡±

    ¡°Come up here!¡±

    Roly Poly immediately leaped onto the massage throne.

    ¡°Lie down.¡±

    ¡°Erm, what the hell is he trying to do?¡±Roly Poly felt slightly embarrassed but still gave in to Matcha¡¯s demand.

    ¡°Now, roll over.¡±

    ¡°Boss! Stop ying! I¡¯m not even a female cat.¡± Roly Polyughed as he struggled to turn over.

    ¡°Who is ying with you?¡± Matcha raised his paws and revealed his five shiny and sharp ws. He said, ¡°Can you see? These ws are as sharp as knives and have taken down Hao Cang¡¯s supercat with ease. Do you want to try them?¡±

    Roly Poly immediately flipped himself over, with his belly facing the ceiling.

    ¡°I guess you are not as stupid,¡± Matcha nodded his head contentedly as he began lying down on Roly Poly¡¯s stomach.

    ¡°Hmm, this is so much warmer and morefortable.¡±

    Meanwhile, Roly Poly stared daggers at Matcha and wanted to kill him so badly for taking advantage of him. He turned around and looked to Dust Ball for help.

    ¡°Sister, please save me!¡±

    However, Dust Ball did not seem to be bothered with Roly Poly, as all her concentration was on her extradimensional belly.

    It was understandable given the fact that there was one container with the five supercats and another container with the earthquake cat inside her belly.

    ...

    Inside the blue container in her extradimensional belly, Lucifer raised the phone in its paws and captured the attention of all the cats around it.

    ¡°It is a phone! Quickly, switch it on! We can contact Hao Cang with this!¡± Ares stared at it with its eyes burning with excitement.

    The remaining cats started shaking their bodies violently as they wanted toe closer to Lucifer who had the phone in its paws. F¨±jin simply altered the air currents around it and dashed towards Lucifer. F¨±jin shouted, ¡°Quickly switch on the phone!¡±

    ¡°I think I just have to press this button.¡± Lucifer tried hard recalling Hao Cang¡¯s action when he switched on the phone.

    Suddenly, a ring music erupted from the phone and the screen lit up.

    ¡°Hooray!¡±

    All their eyes sparkled and flicked with anticipation.

    Ares continued to rush Lucifer and said, ¡°Quickly, use the phone to call!¡±

    Lucifer nodded its head and touched the call button on the screen. Suddenly, it froze.

    ¡°Do you know Ho Hao Cang¡¯s number?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know.

    ¡°I don¡¯t remember.¡±

    All the smiles on their faces instantly evaporated and inverted into a frown.

    Ares immediately shouted, ¡°Baidu! Baidu! I remember hearing the maids mentioning Baidu when they needed any sort of information.¡±

    ¡°We can also contact the police! I remember seeing someone call 911 to contact the police on television!¡± A tabby cat announced.

    The smile reappeared on the cats¡¯ faces, and the excitement returned to their eyes. However, it was a fleeting happiness. They soon realized that there was no signal in this ce. They could not call or use the inte.

    ¡°We cannot contact the outside world from this dimension,¡± Lucifer said and heaved a sigh of despair.

    Zhao Yao only stashed this phone in the extradimensional belly for him to watch movies and drama series when he was bored. He did not n to use it to contact the outside world.

    ¡°Do not be disheartened!¡± Ares dered. It continued, ¡°There must be a reason for putting the phone in this dimension. Sieve through the contents, and there might be a memo teaching us how to escape from this ce!¡±

    ¡°Let me take a look!¡± Lucifer began sieving through the contest of the phone. Four other supercats huddled behind it to take a look. Five pairs ofrge round eyes stared at the phone screen as Lucifer flipped from one page to another.

    ¡°Look! There it is!¡± Ares mmed its paws onto the screen. Instead of opening the application, Ares had identally pressed back.

    Lucifer turned around and red at Ares angrily and said, ¡°I am in charge of the phone, do not click on the screen unless I give you permission to do so!¡±

    Lucifer carefully navigated through all the applications before reaching a folderbeled ¡°top secret.¡±

    All the cats¡¯ eyes flickered with anticipation as they shouted in unison, ¡°This must be it! Quickly open it!¡±

    ¡°I know! You don¡¯t have to rush me!¡± Lucifer tapped on the folder and reached another folder which wasbeled ¡°Do not open¡±.

    The tabby cat¡¯s forehead creased together and asked, ¡°What are we supposed to do? The folder already told us not to open it.¡±

    ¡°R*tard! Are you just going to listen to what the folder name says? This only means that there are some important secret documents hidden inside it.¡± Lucifer turned a deaf ear to the tabby cat¡¯s words and clicked on the folder.

    Another new folderbeled ¡°Matcha, I¡¯ll blow your head into pieces if you open this folder¡± emerged.

    Lucifer did not heed the warning and tapped on the folder again. A new folderbeled ¡°Human race¡¯s biggest secret¡± appeared on the screen.

    The corner of Lucifer¡¯s mouth curled up as it eagerly tapped the folder. Inside it was no longer folders, but many files. The tile of the files resembled Chinese characters, but they could not understand the words.

    ¡°What is this?¡±

    ¡°It might be some sort of code word.¡±

    ¡°Open it and take a look!¡±

    Lucifer tapped on the icon, and a video started to y.

    All five supercats stared at the video wide-eyed. The video depicted a sad story where a man continually abused a young girl.

    Lucifer¡¯s forehead creased together as it asked, ¡°Why isn¡¯t the girl in the video wearing clothes? Aren¡¯t humans supposed to wear clothes all the time?¡±

    Ares suggested, ¡°She might be a different breed of human. Most cats are covered with fur, but there are some that are furless. The girl in the video might be a breed of humans who do not wear clothes.¡±

    F¨±jin let out a loud yawn andmented, ¡°This is so boring! We are just watching two humans mating. How long are we going to continue watching this for?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll search for something different to watch,¡± Lucifer exited from the video and tapped on a new file.

    However, after opening all the files in the folder, they came to realize that they all shared the same content.

    ¡°It¡¯s all videos of humans mating. Is that the only thing that humans do?¡±

    ¡°No wonder Ho Hao Cang forbids us from leaving the house. Human¡¯s knowledge was limited to mating.¡±

    ¡°The files in this folder were just a distraction! The secrets must be hidden in some other files!¡±

    All five supercats grew bored after watching the repetitive content over and over again. After a round of discussion, they decided to look through the rest of the phone to find the secret file.

    After ransacking the entire content inside the phone, they realized that they could not understand the file names for most files. However, there was a filebeled ¡°Attack on Titan¡± in the video folder.

    ¡°There¡¯s finally a title that we can understand.¡±

    ¡°Lucifer, quickly tap on it and see what¡¯s inside.¡±

    A heart-thumping music erupted from the phone¡¯s speakers when Lucifer tapped on the file. Even though they could not understand a single word in the song, they felt their hearts beating faster and adrenalin being pumped all over their bodies.

    This was the first time they had watched anime. They were taken aback by how detailed and realistic the drawings were. There was a seamless transition between each frame, and the animation was captivating.

    Their eyes were glued to the screen, and they suddenly found themselves in a world filled with giants. The giants had been destroying the and humans erected three giant walls to ward off the giants. The story revolved around how the giants attempted to prate the wall and kill the human poption.

    ¡°Attack on Titan¡± was incredibly famous for a period. Many humans flocked to it for its fast-paced plot, enchanting music, and the enthralling storyline.

    The five supercats which had never been exposed to anime had been captivated by it after watching such a marvelous piece of work.

    They watched the entire episode without blinking even once.

    ¡°Oh! The giants are so scary!¡±

    ¡°They have killed so many people! The outside world is truly frightening!¡±

    ¡°All of you shut your mouth!¡± Ares demanded as it pressed its finger to its lips. It continued, ¡°Pay attention to the video and keep quiet!¡±

    Meanwhile, within the yellow container inside the extradimensional belly, earthquake cat was staring at her surrounding as her eyes seethed with anger.

    ¡°How long are they going to keep me here for?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m angry! I¡¯m furious! I¡¯m mad!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m going to destroy the entire city once I leave this ce! I¡¯ll let the entire world understand my pain!¡±

    ...

    The following morning, Zhao Yao let out a loud yawn before he crawled out of his bed.

    With the influence of Celestial Beats, he was able to enjoy a wonderful sleep. A throbbing headache which he suffered from before his sleep had vanished. The energy depleted from the use of the perfect illusion had returned to his body.

    Zhao Yao began stretching his body before he sat up straight on the couch. He turned his head and saw Matcha hugging his legs and sleeping soundly.

    He carefully retracted his legs and began looking around his apartment.

    ¡°Hmm, I guess Matcha, Elizabeth, Roly Poly, Dust Ball, and Mango are all at home.¡± Zhao Yao nodded his head gleefully. He opened his mouth to let out another yawn before a frightening thought shed across his head, ¡°S*it! Earthquake cat is still inside my extradimensional belly, and I have forgotten to let her out!¡±

    He immediately switched to Dust Ball¡¯s power and concentrated on his extradimensional belly.

    He first located the earthquake cat inside the yellow container. Then, he saw a Scottish Fold which was boiling in anger as she stared daggers at her surroundings. The boxes, food wrappers and mineral bottles around her had been torn to pieces.

    It was apparent that earthquake cat had vented all her frustration at anything that she saw.

    However, Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that she did not inflict any injuries on herself during the rampage.

    He immediately focused his attention on the blue container which contained the five supercats.

    ¡°The phone has run out of battery!¡± Lucifer cried in despair. The cat looked as if it had aged ten years since Zhao Yao first met it.

    ¡°What is going to happen next?¡± Ares nibbled on its lower lip and stomped its foot in frustration. It continued, ¡°Why are there walls? Why are there giants? Why did Eren turn into a giant?¡±

    ¡°I want to watch the next episode!¡± The Siamese cat screamed at the top of its lungs, ¡°I¡¯ll let anyone touch my fur if they help me charge the phone right now!¡±

    It vented its frustration by altering the air currents around it and started mming its head against the wall of the container.

    The fat tabby cat floated to the Siamese cat and stared into its eyes. It had no expression on its face. It just kept mumbling one word repeatedly, ¡°Battery, battery, battery, battery!¡±

    <h4>Chapter 157: The God and His Cat</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes when he noticed how the five supercats sumbed to the temptation of ¡°Attack on Titans¡± and had already developed an addiction.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect them to be a fan of anime.¡± A brilliant idea shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s head as he was thinking about his mission to educate the cats.

    A few minutester, Zhao Yao held Dust Ball in his hand as if she were a loudspeaker and asked, ¡°Are you ready?¡±

    Dust Ball¡¯s eyes burned with annoyance as she stared at Zhao Yao and replied, ¡°Just get this over and down with! I still want to y the hunting game with Mango!¡±

    Zhao Yao tried to appease her by saying, ¡°Alright! I¡¯ll reward you with catmint at the end of it!¡±

    Dust Ball began struggling in Zhao Yao¡¯s hands as she retorted, ¡°Do you think you can make me do anything ording to your whims and fancies by using catmint?¡±

    Zhao Yao feigned a look of disappointment and replied, ¡°Oh that¡¯s such a shame. This is a premium catmint flown all the way from Yunnan. The contents inside are extremely pure. I heard that one sniff could knock a cat unconscious for 2 hours.¡±

    Suddenly, Dust Ball¡¯s eyes glistened with anticipation and asked, ¡°Really?¡±

    ¡°Of course! When did I ever lie to you? I¡¯ve specially contacted a few reputable sellers to prepare this divine catmint. Many lives were lost during its transportation to Jiangmen city.¡± Zhao Yao answered as he pretended to fight back his tears.

    ¡°Hmph!¡± The ck cat turned her head around and opened her mouth. She replied smugly, ¡°Don¡¯t think you can control me for the rest of my life. You will lose your value the moment you run out of catmint.¡±

    Zhao Yao grinned from ear to ear as the prideful voice rang in his ears. Zhao Yao positioned his mouth right in front of Dust Ball¡¯s open mouth and said, ¡°Hello! Are there any cats inside here?¡±

    With his mastery over the extradimensional belly, Zhao Yao could direct his sound waves directly to a specific position in the belly.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s voice erupted in the five supercats¡¯ ears.

    The five cats started looking around in fear when they heard the male voice which descended from the sky.

    Lucifer immediately shouted, ¡°Who is speaking?¡±

    Zhao Yao answered, ¡°I am God.¡±

    Lucifer smirked, ¡°Are you taking us for fools? We are not three years old who would fall for your words.¡±

    The tabby cat eximed, ¡°God, please help us!¡±

    Lucifer turned to the tabby cat and looked down at it with contempt. Lucifermented, ¡°R*tard, how can that person be God?¡±

    Zhao Yao announced, ¡°I can grant you one wish!¡±

    The tabby cat immediately shouted, ¡°God, please help us charge our phone!¡±

    ¡°R*tard, why do you still believe that he is a god? Furthermore, shouldn¡¯t you wish to leave this ce if he were god?¡± Lucifer eximed as it rammed its head into the wall angrily.

    Suddenly, a power bank miraculously appeared in front of the five cats.

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°How about a power bank?¡±

    ¡°Yes! Thank you so much!¡± The tabby cat¡¯s eyes lit up with excitement as it instructed Lucifer, ¡°Quickly charge the phone with the power bank!¡±

    Meanwhile, Lucifer was already kneeling at a corner with its palms sped together. It whispered, ¡°God, could you turn me into a tiger?¡±

    Zhao Yao cleared his throat before he replied, ¡°No! I can only grant you one wish each day.¡±

    ¡°R*tard!¡± Lucifer pounced onto the tabby cat and vented all its frustration on it. Lucifer shouted, ¡°Who told you to wish for a power bank?¡±

    Tabby cat retorted, ¡°Says the cat which is addicted to Attack on Titans!¡±

    ¡°Now is not the time for us to argue!¡± As the leader amongst them, Ares immediately broke up the fight and tried to pacify both cats.

    Lucifer rebutted, ¡°We are still stuck in this ce because of that stupid cat¡¯s wish!¡±

    Ares nodded its head before saying, ¡°What¡¯s done is done. We cannot undo the wish that we have asked for, but we can still wish for it tomorrow!¡± In an attempt to lighten the mood, Ares pointed towards the power bank and announced, ¡°How about we charge the phone and continue watching Attack on Titans.¡±

    Lucifer¡¯s lips quivered in anger as it saw how the three cats stared at the power bank with anticipation. Lucifer shouted, ¡°All of you have lost your mind to this silly show!¡± Suddenly, it had already held the power bank in its mouth and asked, ¡°How am I supposed to connect this?¡±

    ¡°How can you use us of losing our mind to this show? This documents the hidden secrets of the human world. If not for this drama, we would never have learned about the existence of giants.¡± Ares retorted.

    ¡°I agree!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s switch it on and continue watching the show!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m trying to turn it on. Why are you guys so impatient. By the way, which episode did we stop at?¡±

    Zhao Yao started chuckling when he saw five tiny faces glued to the phone¡¯s screen. They just stared at the anime with their beautiful round eyes. None of them requested for neither food nor drinks even though they were without food for an entire day.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s lips curled into a smile as he thought, ¡°Maybe I can sessfully teach and educate them by keeping them here.¡±

    Zhao Yao finally let go of Dust Ball¡¯s mouth. Dust Ball stared at Zhao Yao and asked matter-of-factly, ¡°Where are the goods you promised me?¡±

    Zhao Yao returned to his bedroom and retrieved a bag of catmint from underneath his bed and ced it in front of Dust Ball.

    Dust Ball¡¯s eyes squinted into a line when she saw Zhao Yao re-appearing with the catmint in his hands. She thought, ¡°I never expected him to hide it in such a secretive spot. He is slyer than I thought!¡±

    There was no limit to Dust Ball¡¯s desire for catmint. Hence, Zhao Yao had to hide it to prevent Dust Ball from over-consuming them.

    Locks would not be able to stop Dust Ball with her power to absorb non-living matter. Thus, Zhao Yao had to hide it somewhere where she cannot ess.

    Zhao Yao noticed Dust Ball¡¯s gaze and sniggered, ¡°Stop looking! I¡¯ve only kept one bag underneath my bed.¡±

    Dust Ball rolled her eyes at Zhao Yao¡¯s response before she opened the packaging and started tasting the new catmint.

    She slid her paws over the catmint before slowly dabbing it on her tongue. Instantly, Dust Bally on the floor with her eyes all squinted together in pleasure. A trickle of saliva appeared at the corner of her lips.

    Zhao Yao raised his brow andmented, ¡°Don¡¯t forget to wipe the saliva off of your face.¡± Zhao Yao took a look at the remaining cats and announced, ¡°Alright! Everyone get ready! We are leaving for work soon!¡±

    Zhao Yao had to personally wake every single cat up because they were all immersed in the soothing music of Celestial Beats. Zhao Yao still had to decide on what to do with earthquake cat.

    He must release earthquake cat from his extradimensional belly. Her condition would continue deteriorating if she were not released into their dimension and exposed her body to Celestial Beats.

    However, Zhao Yao was also worried about the repercussions if he released earthquake cat and she started causing havoc.

    After a careful deliberation, Zhao Yao decided to talk to earthquake cat face to face.

    His body flickered before he got absorbed into his extradimensional belly.

    ...

    Zhao Yao appeared in front of the Scottish Fold following the flicker.

    The female Scottish Fold detected his presence and reacted by puffing her fur and arching her back. She was ready to attack him at any time.

    ¡°Humans! My endless suffering had made me grown stronger! Get ready to die!¡±

    ¡°Calm down!¡± Zhao Yao raised his hands to show that he meant no harm. He continued exining, ¡°I did not purposely throw you into this dimension. I had to settle too many things yesterday, and I forgot about you.¡±

    ¡°Do you know how long I starved for?¡± Earthquake cat gnashed her teeth in rage.

    Zhao Yao nodded his head helplessly and answered, ¡°I¡¯ll bring you out and give you something to eat.¡±

    ¡°Furthermore, I haven¡¯t been to the toilet for 24 hours!¡± Earthquake cat burst into screams and howls. This was equivalent to a baby¡¯s bawl.

    ¡°I¡¯ve kept her here since I went to rescue Shi Yu. This means that she had spent much more time here than the five other cats. She must have had a hard time controlling her dder and hunger. Maybe the endless suffering that she mentioned refers to this.¡± Zhao Yao thought.

 Chapter 158: Rice Cake and Her Deep Sleep

    <h4>Chapter 158: Rice Cake and Her Deep Sleep</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    However, Zhao Yao merely shrugged his ears when he heard earthquake cat¡¯sint. Hemented, ¡°Why did you have to control? You could have settled your business right here.¡±

    Dust Ball which was engrossed in the catmint nced at Zhao Yao and stared daggers at him when she heard his response.

    Earthquake cat¡¯s screams just turned, even more, shrilling after she heard Zhao Yao¡¯s words. She shouted, ¡°I keep floating around in this dimension and cannot even stand on my four feet. How am I supposed to pee or shit here?¡±

    ¡°Alright, I understand.¡± Zhao Yao instantly released earthquake cat from his extradimensional belly and hurriedly brought her to the cat toilet.

    When he turned his body around to take his leave, he noticed Dust Ball standing on his feet with her eyes ring at him.

    ¡°What happened Dust Ball? Are you done with the catmint?¡±

    Dust Ball¡¯s re remained fixed on Zhao Yao as she asked, ¡°How long do you n to keep the five supercats inside my belly?¡±

    Zhao Yao just answered her without giving it much thought. He said, ¡°Probably a few years?¡± With the size of the extradimensional belly, Zhao Yao thought that there was no difference between stashing them inside it or inside the apartment.

    Dust Ball reacted by raising her paws in the sky and mming it to the ground. She retorted, ¡°Are you joking? Are you nning to let them eat, shit, pee and sleep inside my belly?¡±

    Zhao Yao bent down and carried Dust Ball into his arms. Her relentless struggle was futile against Zhao Yao¡¯s tight grip.

    Zhao Yao gently rubbed against Dust Ball¡¯s tiny head and exined, ¡°Dust Ball, you have to see it from a different perspective. Food is constantly digested inside our stomach, so it¡¯s natural for there to be excrements inside our belly. This means that there will be excrements in your belly regardless if the five cats are inside your belly or not.¡±

    Dust Ball stared wide-eyed at Zhao Yao and nodded to his words.

    ¡°Furthermore, these excrements were produced inside our body, so what¡¯s wrong if it returns to our body again? You must not be biased against excrements. Technically, they are part of our body just like our fur, skin, and muscle.¡± Zhao Yao exined.

    ¡°Is that so?¡±

    ¡°Of course it is!¡± Zhao Yao dered confidently. He continued, ¡°By absorbing the cats into your belly, it is as good as absorbing their excrements in as well. Hence, what¡¯s the difference if they actually defecate in your belly?¡±

    Dust Ball blinked her eyes as she shifted her head from left to right. She found what Zhao Yao said somewhat logical.

    After pacifying Dust Ball, Zhao Yao noticed the earthquake cat leaving the toilet. She squatted beside Zhao Yao¡¯s feet, but her eyes continued to seethe with anger.

    Zhao Yao asked out of concern, ¡°What happened?¡±

    Earthquake cat replied, ¡°I¡¯m so hungry.¡±

    ¡°Oh!¡± Zhao Yao patted her on her head and instructed, ¡°Follow me! I¡¯ll get you some food!¡±

    Seeing how earthquake cat instantly devoured the food Zhao Yao prepared for her, he startedughing and said, ¡°Oh yes, I¡¯ve forgotten to ask you for your name.¡±

    Earthquake cat raised her head and nced at Zhao Yao. However, her lips remained sealed.

    Zhao Yao did not seem bothered by her silence; he just continued talking, ¡°I have to thank you for not activating your power since I¡¯ve released you into this dimension. You might not understand how dangerous your power is. The results would be dire if you started activating your power anyhow.¡±

    Earthquake cat remained focused on her food and did not pay any attention to Zhao Yao. However, she knew that the thought of activating her power did cross her mind when she was released.

    However, she was enveloped by Celestial Beats the moment she stepped into the apartment. The soothing effects made it impossible for her to activate her power no matter how hard she tried.

    Earthquake cat did not know that her power was dependent on the pain she experienced from osteodystrophy. The worse the pain, the more powerful the earthquake caused.

    Her condition improved significantly after she was adopted which exined the temporary stop in earthquakes in Jiangmen city.

    However, after her owners abandoned her, her condition worsened which increased the frequency of earthquakes.

    The pain was the source of her power.

    However, both Zhao Yao and earthquake cat did not know about the source of her power at the moment.

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°If you¡¯re not going to tell me your name, I¡¯ll just have to give you one then. I can¡¯t possibly call you Scottish Fold because it would be quite confusing.¡±

    Zhao Yao tried to prove it by shouting, ¡°Scottish Fold!¡±

    ¡°Who called me?¡± Matcha raised his head from the food bowl and used his paws to wipe the corner of his lips.

    ¡°I knew it. Hence, it¡¯s important for me to give you a nickname.¡±

    Earthquake cat remained indifferent to all of Zhao Yao¡¯s words. Zhao Yao just continued, ¡°Hmm, let me think!¡± He nced at yesterday¡¯s leftover rice cake and announced, ¡°How about I call you Rice Cake? It¡¯s a cute name.¡±

    Earthquake cat¡¯s ears twitched, but she did not protest against it. Zhao Yao continued, ¡°Rice Cake, I¡¯ll have to bring you to the cat caf¨¦ after breakfast.¡±

    Zhao Yao went to wash up after addressing Rice Cake¡¯s concerns. When he returned, Rice Cake was already sleeping beside her food bowl.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t know you are so tired.¡± Zhao Yao chuckled and took this opportunity to pet her on her head. There were no signs of retaliation, and Zhao Yao inched closer to her. He could ever hear a faint snoring.

    ¡°I guess she didn¡¯t have enough sleepst night because of all the pain she had endured from osteodystrophy. Under the influence of Celestial Beats, she had instantly fallen asleep,¡± Zhao Yaomented as he stroked his fingers down her spine.

    Memories of when Dust Ball first joined him shed past Zhao Yao¡¯s mind when he saw Rice Cake sleeping soundly under the influence of Celestial Beats.

    However, Rice Cake¡¯s condition was worse. The pain brought about by osteodystrophy was far more tormenting than the pain caused by dwarfism.

    Zhao Yao decided not to wake her up and quietly carried her in his arms as they made their way to the caf¨¦.

    The cat caf¨¦ was in a much better state than yesterday after Shi Yu, and Baiquan cleaned it up. However, there were still some shattered light bulbs, torn curtains that needed some time for them to be reced. However, they had to rece the cups and drinks immediately to prevent it from affecting their business.

    Zhao Yao carefully ced Rice Cake on the table. It did not seem like she was going to wake up anytime soon. She justy on the table like how a human wouldy on a chair.

    Seeing her cute sleeping posture, Zhao Yao could not help but started poking her. However, she was entirely oblivious to Zhao Yao¡¯s pokes.

    ¡°Is it unconscious?¡±

    Zhao Yao decided to stick his fingers up her nostrils. He wanted to see how long she could sleep without breathing.

    After more than 10 seconds, she was still oblivious to Zhao Yao¡¯s actions. Zhao Yao was taken aback by it. He nced at her chest and noticed that there were no movements in her chest.

    ¡°Hey! Don¡¯t scare me!¡±

    ¡°You can¡¯t die just like this!¡± A cold sweat broke out from Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead as he tried to rescue Rice Cake. He pressed against her chest and pried open her mouth. He continually pped against her face until he heard the faint breathing sounds of Rice Cake.

    ¡°Are you serious? She continues to sleep even though she almost suffocated to death? She is such a deep sleeper.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 159: The Failure and the Investment</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Rice Cake rolled over before she continued to sleep. Zhao Yao instantly rolled his eyes at this scene.

    Theoretically, cats were supposed to be extremely alert even while sleeping to escape from a potential aggressor¡¯s attack. They should be light sleepers and would be awakened by any small movement or noise.

    Only domestic cats which had spent a lot of time at home, ranging from a few months to a few years, would lose their alertness and continued to sleep regardless of their surroundings.

    Rice Cake¡¯s behavior was more like a domestic cat which had spent years with Zhao Yao than a stray cat which had just joined him.

    ¡°It seems like Celestial Beats is really effective at ameliorating its pain.¡±

    The doorbell rang and jolted Zhao Yao from his thoughts. Zhao Yao raised his head and saw Xiao Ming entering.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes immediately lit up when he saw Xiao Ming. He whispered, ¡°Is heing with my RMB 52 million?¡±

    However, Zhao Yao noticed the expression on Xiao Ming¡¯s face and the smile on Zhao Yao¡¯s face vaporized.

    When he first met Xiao Ming, he was a suave and confident young man. Now, he looked more like a homeless man than the fuerdai that he was. His hair was a mess, and his clothes were filthy and crinkled.

    Celestial Beats seemed to have no impact on Xiao Ming as his expression remained as solemn as ever.

    He sat on the chair opposite Zhao Yao with his head lowered before uttering a few words, ¡°Boss I apologize for disturbing you at this hour.¡± Xiao Ming raised his head and took a look at the caf¨¦ and asked, ¡°I hope I did not interrupt you.¡±

    The caf¨¦ had not opened for the day. Shi Yu and Baiquan were still busy with somest minute touch up to ensure that the caf¨¦ was ready for business. The cats werezing around in their corners.

    Matcha noticed Xiao Ming and sauntered towards him and leaped onto hisp with a meow.

    Matcha thought, ¡°This guy should be pretty rich! I¡¯ll make him sumb to my cute white paws!¡± Matcha buried his head into Xiao Ming¡¯s arms.

    Xiao Ming¡¯s lips finally curled into a smile after seeing how affectionate Matcha was towards him.

    Zhao Yao looked at Xiao Ming and asked, ¡°Why did youe here today? What happened?¡±

    Xiao Ming let out a long sigh before he started exining, ¡°I don¡¯t know what had happened, but my uncles are constantly arguing over thepany. Now, the business has plummeted, and it is on the verge of ceasing operation. The state of thepany is worsening by the day just like my granny¡¯s condition. We don¡¯t even dare to inform her about thepany¡¯s situation.¡±

    Zhao Yao already knew the reason behind the chaos in the Xiao¡¯s organization.

    The instigator behind the entire Xiao¡¯s organization saga was Ho Hao Cang. Now that he was dead, the uncles who supported him had no leader to take their instructions from which resulted in the constant arguments.

    ¡°Ho Hao Cang only met his demise a few days ago. I didn¡¯t imagine the information to spread so quickly. With Hao Cang dead, I¡¯m sure many are hungry to take over him as the leader which resulted in the internal conflict.¡± Zhao Yao spected.

    Zhao Yao raised his head and took a look at Xiao Ming. He asked, ¡°I¡¯m sure there¡¯s something else which is bothering you.¡±

    Xiao Ming just smiled bitterly and answered, ¡°I invested some of my money into the stock market when the economy was doing well.¡±

    Zhao Yao asked curiously, ¡°How much did you put in?¡±

    Xiao Ming took in a deep breath before answering, ¡°Approximately 20 million RMB. With the plummeting housing price due to the earthquakes, I decided to sell all my properties and invested them in the stock market instead.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes when he heard Xiao Ming¡¯s rash decision. Zhao Yao had just captured earthquake cat which would most likely spell the end of the earthquakes in Jiangmen city. This meant that the housing price would bounce back. To think that Xiao Ming had sold his properties and invested them in stocks.

    Zhao Yao just asked, ¡°How much are you left with?¡±

    Xiao Ming¡¯s hands trembled, and tears welled up in his eyes. He answered, ¡°I tried doing leverage, and now it had all backfired.¡±

    ¡°Backfired? Does that mean you are left with nothing?¡± Zhao Yao clutched his face between his hands and whispered, ¡°This guy is f*cking ballsy. First, he sold all his properties and invested them in stocks. Secondly, he even tried to do leverage.¡±

    Xiao Ming frantically scratched his head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know why but the stock prices just plummeted all of a sudden. Initially, it has already increased by a few folds.¡±

    He suddenly went on his feet and announced with a determined voice, ¡°Never mind! I n to sell my sports car! With this cash, I would enter the market and recoup my losses.¡±

    ¡°You still want to buy stocks?¡± Zhao Yao was left speechless by his rashness.

    Xiao Ming replied, ¡°No, I¡¯ve already carefully thought through my decisions. Investing in stocks does not benefit the country or the people. It is not something that I¡¯m suited for. I¡¯ve decided to invest my money in my newpany. I¡¯ll take it one step at a time to serve the nation and the people.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s a pretty good idea!¡± Zhao Yao continued asking, ¡°What industry are you looking at?¡±

    ¡°Transit elevated bus!¡± Xiao Ming announced with a gleeful smile on his face. He continued, ¡°This would mark the next revolution in transportation after the invention of the steam engine. If it¡¯s sessful, every single country in the world will adopt this technology. The future is limitless.

    Furthermore, this project has the backing of the government. It will bring in lots of profits. There will not be any problems.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s brows knitted together as he was skeptical about Xiao Ming¡¯s optimism.

    ¡°To believe is to have light while to doubt is to be shrouded in darkness. If you believe, you would see the promising future. If you doubt, you would be blinded by the challenges ahead. The optimists will always prevail over the pessimists.

    We have missed the opportunity to invest in properties, emerce, and even bitcoin. We cannot miss out on transit elevated bus.¡±

    Suddenly, Xiao Ming fixed his gaze on Zhao Yao and stared at him excitedly. He said, ¡°Master, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity! I want you to join me in this project. This is a brilliant project! Now is the best time for you to join us in this transportation revolution!¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Zhao Yao was taken aback by Xiao Ming¡¯s unbridled enthusiasm. Zhao Yao sniggered, ¡°I think I will give it a pass. I¡¯m not that good at investing.¡±

    ¡°Transit elevated bus is the hope for the newer generation!¡± Xiao Ming dered, ¡°I know that you are skeptical about this project. How about this, I will return you your money after I¡¯m sessful. Then, I¡¯ll invite you to join me again!¡±

    Xiao Ming suddenly broke out into yawns in the middle of his pitch. He said, ¡°I haven¡¯t slept in days. Tomorrow I¡¯ll have to take a train to meet a few others interested in the project. I just wanted toe here and catch on some sleep.¡±

    ¡°Wait!¡± Zhao Yao started tapping Xiao Ming on his shoulders and asked, ¡°Are you going to get any drinks?¡±

    Xiao Ming was embarrassed with his answer as he whispered, ¡°No, thanks. I¡¯ll leave immediately after I wake up.¡±

    ¡°No! No! It¡¯s such a rare opportunity for you to join us in the caf¨¦! How can you not order a cup of coffee from us when you¡¯re already here?¡±

    ¡°I won¡¯t be able to sleep after taking a cup of coffee.¡±

    ¡°You can order a cup of fruit juice instead. We always use the freshest fruits for our wonderful fruit juice!¡±

    Xiao Ming finally relented to Zhao Yao¡¯s request. He searched all his pockets but only managed to retrieve two coins.

    ¡°Master, can you get me a cup of in water instead? I have invested all my money into the project.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes at the miserable coins on his table. He responded, ¡°Never mind! I¡¯ll treat you this time around. You can rest here before leaving.

    Anyway, do you have enough money for your journey there? It will be disastrous if you faint or copse during the trip there.¡±

    ¡°I have enough! There will be food provided for me and someone will be there to receive me.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead creased together. No matter how he looked at the project, it still seemed somewhat illegitimate.

    Suddenly, Matcha leaped out of Xiao Ming¡¯sp with a look of contempt.

    ¡°What the hell? So he¡¯s just a poor pauper now? Why did I even waste my effort to fold my ears?¡± Matcha began licking his fur andmented, ¡°Now, I need to get rid of the stench of poverty quickly!¡±

    Xiao Ming observed Matcha grooming himself and shouted, ¡°Master, why is this Scottish Fold¡¯s ears straight and not folded?¡±

    ¡°Huh? Really?¡± A red glimmer immediately shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes as he had activated Elizabeth¡¯s power. Matcha¡¯s body froze. Zhao Yao willed his ears to fold downwards. However, his ears had already grown somewhat distorted from the continual folding.¡±

    Xiao Ming was taken aback by what he saw and asked, ¡°Master, is this cat okay? The shape of his ears seemed somewhat strange.¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s okay!¡±

    ¡°He seems like he is in extreme pain. His eyes are almost popping out of the socket.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a Scottish Fold. It must be the pain from osteodystrophy.¡±

    ¡°Master, why are your eyes all red?¡±

    ¡°Oh, tears welled up in my eyes when I heard your story.¡±

    ¡°Let go! Quickly let go! Zhao Yao!¡± Matcha was screaming at the top of his lungs, ¡°My eardrums are going to rupture.¡±

    ¡°This will teach you not to look down on others. Also, you need to keep up with your pretense as a Scottish Fold. You cannot give up just because it is difficult.¡±

    Zhao Yao deactivated Elizabeth¡¯s power and Matcha instantlyy on the floor, lifelessly.

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t make my ears stand anymore!¡± Matcha¡¯s voice rang in Zhao Yao¡¯s ears.

    Zhao Yao carried Matcha and cradled him in his arms. He asked concernedly, ¡°Are you serious? Your ears can¡¯t go back up anymore?¡±

    ¡°Let me take a look! Tell me if the spot that I touch hurts.¡±

    Matcha which was buried in Zhao Yao¡¯s arms had his face hidden from Zhao Yao¡¯s sight. His mouth set in a hard line.

    ¡°Hmph, he is just finding an excuse to hug me.¡±

    ¡°Does this spot hurt?¡± Zhao Yao asked as he massaged the back of Matcha¡¯s ear.

    Matcha whispered, ¡°A little.¡±

    ¡°How about this spot?¡±

    ¡°This is not as bad as the previous spot.¡±

    ¡°Here?¡±

    ¡°Ouch! This spot hurts so badly!¡± Matcha instantly broke into howls and cries. However, it was all a pretense to make Zhao Yao feel sorry for him.

    Zhao Yao scratched his chin and mumbled, ¡°Maybe I need to send him to a pet hospital to check it up. It might be a fracture.¡±

    ¡°Huh? Pet hospital?¡± Matcha¡¯s body started shaking like a leaf. Suddenly, both his ears straightened miraculously and were as per normal. Matcha said sheepishly, ¡°I don¡¯t know why but my ears have recovered! Meowhaha, it doesn¡¯t hurt anymore!¡±

    ¡°Get lost!¡±

    Zhao Yao pushed Matcha into a corner and saw him scurrying off somewhere. Zhao Yao¡¯s lips curled with disgust as he thought, ¡°This cat is getting more and more mischievous.¡±

    Zhao Yao turned towards Xiao Ming and noticed that he was already fast asleep on the couch. Zhao Yao then returned to his usual corner in the caf¨¦. He switched on hisputer and mumbled, ¡°Another day of work! This is going to be so exhausting.¡±

    ¡°Wait! I¡¯ve almost forgotten about the five cats inside the extradimensional belly.¡± Zhao Yao pped himself on his forehead, ¡°Come to think of it; they have not eaten for the past twenty-four hours!¡±

    Zhao Yao scratched his chin and decided, ¡°I should continue going ording to the n and see if it works.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s body disappeared with a swirl as he reappeared in the extradimensional belly.

    Suddenly, a foul stench emanated from within.

    Lucifer was hovering about in the container like a zombie. It opened its mouth, and a low grunt emerged from it, ¡°Meat ... I need meat ...¡±

    Both Ares and F¨±jin floated around in the same state. Both faces were devoid of expression.

    Ares stared at its miserable surroundings and sped its palms together and started praying, ¡°God! Our phone has run out of battery. We have shit and urine floating around us. We have not eaten for the past twenty-four hours! God! Save us!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    A man¡¯s voice erupted in their heads just when Ares finished its prayers. Their vision turned dark for a second. Then, they noticed that all the shit and urine in their surroundings had vanished.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao was frantically washing his hands in the basin.

    He muttered, ¡°D*mn it! Can¡¯t these cats learn from Rice Cake to hold their dder? They just peed and shat in the area which they lived in! Didn¡¯t Hao Cang teach them any manners?¡±

    The container had reverted to its original state which was clean and immacte. All their eyes glistened with excitement as urine and shit no longer surrounded them.

    The tabby cat stared at the sky with its Puss in Boots Eyes. It eximed, ¡°God! Can you give us another power bank?¡±

    Lucifer pped the tabby cat on its head and interrupted its plead, ¡°Meat! Meat! Meat! I want meat!¡±

    Ares separated both cats and prevented them from getting into a fight. It roared, ¡°Let us out of this ce!¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t let you guys out now. However, I can provide food and water for you.¡± Zhao Yao announced.

    These five cats used to be under the charge of Ho Hao Cang. Hence, they still regarded Zhao Yao as a threat and enemy. Their worldview was also twisted and distorted because of how Hao Cang spoilt them. Therefore, Zhao Yao could not let them out in case they started to wreak havoc.

    Furthermore, domestic cats such as the five supercats preferred to stay indoors rather than spend time outside. Even though the container might seem small at the moment, Zhao Yao would be absorbing more toys inside and would make their lives morefortable.

    ¡°Really?¡± Lucifer¡¯s eyes glowed with excitement, ¡°Can you quickly get us some food? I¡¯m starving to death!¡±

    However, you have toplete one mission before I can let you guys eat! You are currently in the Vige of Dreams, the ultimate paradise for all cats. If you wish to stay here ...¡±

    Ares interrupted Zhao Yao before hepleted his statement by shouting, ¡°We don¡¯t even want to stay here! Could you kindly return us to where we were from?¡±

    Bam! Ares clutched its head and shouted, ¡°Who hit me? You are too spiteful!¡±

    Bam! Ares once again clutched its head as it mmed into the floor.

    ¡°Anyway, I just want all of you to have this etched on the back of your heads. You have toplete one mission every week. In doing so, you will be rewarded with food and drinks. I might even grant you a wish or two.¡±

    ¡°His voice sounds like it¡¯sing from that direction.¡± A ck-furred American Shorthair said. Against the pitch darkness, many have forgotten its existence.

    F¨±jin went towards the entrance of the container and pressed its head against it. F¨±jinmented, ¡°I think he¡¯s outside.¡±

    ¡°Stop addressing me as him. Address me as God.¡± Zhao Yao resorted to projecting his voice using Elizabeth¡¯s illusion to prevent them from identifying his position. He continued, albeit slightly unhappy, ¡°Your mission today is to defeat your enemies.¡±

    Once Zhao Yao finished hisst word, all five cat¡¯s vision turned blurry for a moment. Suddenly, they found themselves along a street in the Middle Ages instead of the pitch dark container.

    ¡°Are we finally out?¡± Lucifer eagerly turned its head around as it carefully surveyed its surroundings. It was taken aback by this ce and muttered, ¡°Where is this? This ce seems familiar.¡±

    They thought that Zhao Yao¡¯s words were just gibberish used to trick them. However, this new setting sent chills down their spine. They huddled together and were on the lookout for any enemies.

    The Siamese cat could not believe its eyes as it mumbled, ¡°Don¡¯t you guys see the simrity? Isn¡¯t this the street in Attack on Titans?¡±

    ¡°Titans?¡± Ares recognized the striking simrity, but it could not believe it.

    Suddenly, huge tremors erupted from the ground. Then, a 5 meters tall furless cat came dashing towards them.

    ¡°Giant cat!¡± The tabby cat immediately crouched on the floor and curled its body into a ball.

    Lucifer could not believe that this was actually happening to them. It had previously doubted the existence of giant humans. Now, a giant cat was rushing towards them. It shouted, ¡°Giant furless cat! It¡¯s really a giant furless cat!¡±

    ¡°This is not the time for you to doubt the existence of giants!¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s voice once again rang in their ears. He continued, ¡°Your mission is to defeat this giant cat. In doing so, you will be rewarded with one week worth of drinks and food.¡±

    Staring at the giant furless cat in front of them, the five supercats finally believed Zhao Yao¡¯s words. However, that does not mean that they had epted the challenge.

    ¡°How is this possible?¡± F¨±jin held its head in its paws and shook its head violently. ¡°That monster can crush us by simply stepping on our bodies. Are you stupid? How can you send us on a mission with no chances of sess?¡±

 Chapter 161: Mission Complete

    <h4>Chapter 161: Mission Complete</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    ¡°Stop calling me a r*tard!¡± Zhao Yaomented, ¡°Address me as God. Furthermore, you can easily aplish this mission with yourbined powers.¡±

    ¡°I understand! All we have to do is to destroy this weird creature right?¡± Ares immediately stepped forward as the leader of the five cats. It clenched its paw into a first and instantly activated its power. An invisible barrier had shielded all five cats.

    The giant cat could not see the invisible wall and crashed directly into it with a ring thud. The giant cat mmed its enormous paws against the invisible wall, but it was futile.

    Zhao Yao was also standing inside the invisible wall that Ares had created and thought, ¡°This is a handy ability. If I were standing outside, my power of illusion would also have been repelled by it.¡±

    ¡°Have you forgotten? We are not ordinary cats! We are supercats which have transcended the boundary of normal cats!¡± Ares dered. It immediately gave out its next instructions, ¡°F¨±jin, shoot him!¡±

    F¨±jin was momentarily stunned by Ares¡¯s instructions. It finally reacted to it and streams of gas came shooting out of its mouth like cannonballs which pelted against the giant cat.

    ¡°I¡¯m joining the fight!¡± The ck-furred English Shorthair screamed, and it was coated with a metal exterior, and it came charging towards the giant cat.

    The tabby cat hiding on the floor peeped at the scene and gathered its courage to activate its power. Suddenly, Zhao Yao noticed the giant cat sinking into the ground and it could no longer move around.

    After theirbined attack, they had managed to stop the giant cat¡¯s onught. However, they had failed to defeat the giant cat.

    ¡°No, it is too strong and powerful! Its skin is too thick! I can¡¯t possibly injure it!¡±

    ¡°This cat cannot be defeated!¡±

    Just when the four remaining cats were worrying over their fates, Lucifer had already climbed to the top of the giant cat¡¯s head.

    ¡°Hmm, have you all forgotten the most important thing in Attack on Titans? Their weakness is in their necks!¡± Lucifer sent a fury of swipes against the giant cat¡¯s neck, and chunks of meat came flying off.

    Giant cat was finally defeated with the five cats¡¯bined wit and strength. The giant cat¡¯s body slowly vanished from their sight. The five cats stared at each other with a proud glee on their face.

    Ares looked at all of them and asked, ¡°Are we going to fight together as a team?¡±

    ¡°Until we die!¡±

    Zhao Yao pouted his lips at the scene. If not for his conscious effort to conjure a giant which was significantly weaker, the five cats would have been crushed instantly.

    Suddenly, the five cats¡¯ vision turned dark, and they had returned to the container once again.

    ¡°Congrattions forpleting your mission. This is your one week supply of food that I have promised you.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s voice rang in their heads.

    Arge parcel containing cat food, cat tidbits, and mineral water descended from the sky with a loud thud.

    Ares shouted, ¡°Hey ...¡±

    ¡°Address me as God!¡±

    Aresplied and shouted, ¡°God! Can you grant us a wish?¡±

    ¡°Hmm, from now on, I will grant you one wish every week. I will try my best to fulfill them.¡±

    Ares¡¯s eyes started darting around as it considered its options carefully. It thought, ¡°If we have toplete a mission every week, the wish that we asked for would be vital to guarantee the sess of our missions. We can ask for things such as intel on our enemy or some skills to strengthen our power ...¡±

    The tabby cat, Gaia, interrupted Ares¡¯s train of thought by shouting, ¡°God, I would like a power bank that would never run out of juice!¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Ares immediately turned to Gaia with its nostrils red. At the same time, Zhao Yao¡¯s voice once again rang in their heads.

    ¡°A power bank that would never run out of juice? That would be rather tricky. I¡¯ll try my best to get one for you.¡± Zhao Yao answered.

    Ten high-capacity power banks dropped from the sky and into the container. Zhao Yao spent quite some time on TaoBao to get them.

    ¡°Wait!¡± Ares raised its paws to get Zhao Yao¡¯s attention, ¡°Can we change our wish? We¡¯re not interested in having high-capacity power banks!¡±

    Lucifer immediately pounced on Gaia and started pping its face.

    ¡°Are you a r*tard? Why did you ask for another power bank?¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°You are not allowed to exchange your goods after you have wished for them. If you want a new wish, you will have to wait for the new week.¡±

    Ares drew its lower lip between its teeth and reprimanded Gaia, ¡°You are so stupid! Why didn¡¯t we strangle you to death when you first came to Hao Cang¡¯s house?¡±

    Gaia nced at them and mumbled, ¡°Since we¡¯re not getting out of here anytime soon? Isn¡¯t it better to have something to eat, drink, and y with? Who wants to watch the next episode of Attack on Titans?¡±

    Ares was left speechless by Gaia¡¯s na?ve thoughts and shook its head in disbelief. The Siamese cat tried to calm the others down and said, ¡°Ares, since God had already given us a power bank, should we charge the phone and discusster?¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡± The English Shortfur, which had the power of coating itself in metal, licked the corner of its lips and dered excitedly, ¡°We only managed to defeat the giant cat by identifying its weakness from the drama. Maybe the intel and weakness of our enemies can be found on the phone!¡±

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you guys worried at all? We have one mission every week. If we fail toplete it, we might even die.¡± Ares stared at the cats sternly and questioned them

    ¡°This means that we still have one more week to prepare for our next mission. Let¡¯s watch another episode of Attack on Titans in the meanwhile.¡± Gaia retorted.

    ...

    Zhao Yao had a contented glee on his face as he surveyed the situation in his belly. He nodded his head and thought, ¡°Next, I¡¯ll have to solve the problem regarding how they answer the calls of nature. The smell is truly overbearing.¡±

    He started massaging his temple to alleviate a slight headache. He thought, ¡°Even though this borate illusion takes quite a toll on my head, it has significantly improvedpared tost time. I guess it will only get better if I continue to use it. My weekly missions for them would also serve as my training as well.¡±

    Suddenly, he noticed that he hadpleted one of the missions on his mission panel.

    Gaia had epted you as its leader and you were awarded 100 experience points for it.

    Zhao Yao was left speechless as a thought shed across his head, ¡°I¡¯ve managed to turn it over a new leaf in just two days? This cat is so simple-minded.¡± Even though Zhao Yao wasmenting about Gaia¡¯s simple-mindedness, he was still exhrated to receive more experience points.

    Book:lv3 (1952/2000)

    Zhao Yao nodded his head in excitement when he saw the numbers. He thought, ¡°I can use this points and pump them all to Dust Ball!¡±

    Zhao Yao had upgraded Dust Ball to level 4 before the sh against Hao Cang. Currently, Dust Ball was lv4(110/2000). The points from the BOOK would be sufficient to upgrade Dust Ball to level 5.

    ¡°Even though these points could either be added to Matcha and Elizabeth, Zhao Yao wanted to see if he could strengthen his extradimensional belly with the five supercats hiding inside it.¡± Zhao Yao had grown sick of cleaning their defecation. He was excited to see if there were any abilities which would solve this problem.

    Zhao Yao instantly pumped the points to Dust Ball, and it upgraded to lv5 (0/5000). There were once again two more options to choose from the ability tree.

    Gravitational Field: The user could specify a location within the extradimensional belly and activate gravity. The gravitational force would be 1 to 10 times the force on Earth.

    Cat¡¯s Ray: The user can incorporate sunlight into the extradimensional belly and alter the temperature to anything below 5000¡ãC.

    Zhao Yao hesitated for a moment before tapping on Gravitational Field.

    ¡°Yay! I no longer have to clean their shit!¡±

    After the harrowing experience cleaning up all the urine and shit floating around in the extradimensional belly, Zhao Yao felt as if the stench could never be removed from his palms.

    ¡°Gravity is indeed the most fundamental and important concept in life!¡±

 Chapter 162: Gravity and the Conversation

    <h4>Chapter 162: Gravity and the Conversation</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    With the effects of gravity kicking in, all five supercats and the items floating around in the extradimensional belly fell to the ground instantly.

    At the same time, Zhao Yao¡¯s voice erupted in all their ears, ¡°I will reward all of you with another present forpleting your first mission!¡±

    Two cat litter boxes which Zhao Yao had intended to throw away were transported to the container within the belly. These were the cat litter boxes which Zhao Yao had used temporarily in the caf¨¦ before the automatic self-cleaning litter boxes arrived. Now, he had finally found some use for them.

    ¡°That¡¯s great! We finally have our own toilets! We no longer have to worry about our shit and urine floating all around us!¡± Gaia dashed towards it with its eyes flickering with excitement. The four other supercats also nodded their heads in agreement.

    They were increasingly satisfied with the amodation that Zhao Yao had provided them with. Now, they had their own toilets, gravity, food, water, and even a phone that would not run out of juice.

    Zhao Yao finally heaved a sigh of relief after satisfying their needs. He then proceeded to hisputer games with a peace of mind.

    ¡°I can finally concentrate on my work.¡±

    As lunchtime approached, the afternoon crowd started streaming into the caf¨¦.

    Because of yesterday¡¯s sudden closure, many customers came forth and enquired about the situation in the caf¨¦. However, Zhao Yao, Shi Yu, and Baiquan tactfully evaded their questions and directed their attention somewhere else.

    With the caf¨¦¡¯s booming reputation, the number of customers in the caf¨¦ had grown to the extent that there were insufficient cats to go around the customers.

    Shi Yu noticed this situation and approached Zhao Yao and whispered into his ears, ¡°Zhao Yao, do you think that there are too few cats in our caf¨¦?¡±

    ¡°Too few?¡± Shi Yu¡¯s question caught Zhao Yao¡¯s attention. His eyes swept across the room as he scrutinized the situation in the caf¨¦.

    Currently, there were only twenty-odd cats in the caf¨¦. However, there were always at least 30 to 40 customers at any point in time.

    Even though there was sufficient space within the caf¨¦, there were insufficient cats to go around all the customers.

    Zhao Yao nodded his head as his eyes continued to survey the caf¨¦, ¡°The current situation is still bearable since not all whoe are interested in ying with the cats. But I will visit some pet adoption centers and adopt a bunch of stray cats back to our caf¨¦.¡±

    Aspared to pedigree cats, stray cats were in desperate need of a shelter. Furthermore, Zhao Yao¡¯s monthly mission was dependent on his profit for the month. The cost of pedigree cats was too much for him to bear, which would not be ideal for Zhao Yao.

    Most importantly, Zhao Yao knew that hispetitive edge over other caf¨¦s stemmed from his supercats¡¯ abilities.

    Suddenly, Yan Xiao Qing, a regr customer of the caf¨¦, crept towards Zhao Yao with her eyes fixed on Rick Cake who was fast asleep.

    Today, she was not here alone to y with the cats. She also brought her straight As roommate, An Xin, along.

    The petite An Xin immediately sat on a chair with all her attention focused on her college assignment. She had such a diminutive stature that her feet couldn¡¯t even touch the floor when she sat on the high stool. However, she was extremely serious about her work, and none of the cats in the caf¨¦ managed to distract her, not even when their bodies brushed against her legs.

    Yan Xiao Qing stared at Zhao Yao with her puppy eyes and begged using her most pitiful voice, ¡°Please, may I touch this beautiful beige Scottish Fold?¡± To disguise Rice Cake¡¯s appearance, Zhao Yao even cast an illusion on her and coated her with a beige skin.

    Zhao Yao observed Xiao Qing¡¯s sincere expression and relented. He nced at Rice Cake which continued to sleep even when she almost suffocated to death and nodded his head, ¡°You can touch this cat but never stuff your finger up her nostrils.¡±

    Xiao Qing¡¯s eyes lit up instantly. She eagerly reached out her hands and carefully caressed the fur on Rice Cake¡¯s spine. She pressed her ears against Rice Cake¡¯s belly and could make out the faint snoring. The corner of her eyes crinkled and shemented, ¡°Boss, she¡¯s in a really deep sleep! Is it because of her trust in the surrounding?¡±

    After a while, Xiao Qing was no longer contented with touching Rice Cake¡¯s fur. Her fingers traced along her body and she started caressing Rice Cake¡¯s tiny paws.

    Rice Cake rolled over her body, and her legs gave a gentle twitch. However, there were no signs of her waking up anytime soon.

    Matcha was standing on the floor while Xiao Qing was busy ying with Rice Cake. Matcha tried to attract Xiao Qing¡¯s attention by rubbing his body against her legs and letting out a few meows. Because he won the previous month¡¯s Cat¡¯s night, he was also coated with a skin enchanted with Zhao Yao¡¯s illusion.

    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s you!¡± Xiao Qing lowered her head and noticed Matcha at her feet, ¡°I¡¯m currently ying with the new cat in the caf¨¦! I¡¯lle and y with youter!¡±

    Xiao Qing started massaging Rice Cake¡¯s tiny head, and a thought shed across her mind, ¡°Why do I get the feeling that the new Scottish Fold¡¯s ears are more natural than the old one?¡±

    Matcha stared at Xiao Qing with a look of disdain and thought, ¡°Such a b*tch! She¡¯s only interested in the new cats in town. Furthermore, how are Rice Cake¡¯s ears nicer than mine? My ears would cost at least RMB 30,000 while Rice Cake¡¯s ears would cost at most RMB 3,000.¡± With the thought lingering at the back of his head, Matcha started circling Xiao Qing¡¯s legs and continually rubbed his body against her legs.

    Xiao Qing burst intoughter when she noticed this amusing sight, ¡°Alright! Alright! I¡¯ll y with you!¡±

    Zhao Yao spent the rest of his time on hisputer games and interacting with the customers. Meanwhile, Rice Cake was still enjoying her beauty sleep on Zhao Yao¡¯s table.

    After a while, the doorbell rang and in came a middle-aged bald man.

    Shi Yu nced at the person who just entered the caf¨¦ and was taken aback, ¡°Inspector Ho? Why is he here?¡±

    The person who had just passed through the doors was Shi Yu¡¯s superior, Inspector Ho. He too froze on the spot after taking one step into the caf¨¦. This was the first time he experienced the soothing sensation of Celestial Beats.

    He looked as if he was deep in thought before he started washing his hands and donning the shoe covers. He then took a seat opposite Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Zhao Yao!¡±

    Zhao Yao turned his head and took a nce at Inspector Ho before resuming his game. He replied nonchntly, ¡°Inspector Ho, what brings you to my caf¨¦ today?¡±

    Inspector Ho¡¯s nostrils red and his mouth set into a hard line before he asked, ¡°Were you responsible for what happened to Ho Hao Cang?¡±

    Zhao Yao was as cool as a cucumber and replied, ¡°What happened to him?¡±

    Inspector Ho¡¯s gazed continued to be fixed on Zhao Yao. He wanted to see if there was any sudden change of expression on Zhao Yao¡¯s face.

    Unfortunately, he did not notice any tinge of fear, nervousness or apprehension in Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes.

    Zhao Yao seemed as lost as a 12 years old kid.

    The higher ups already had a hypothesis as to what happened to Ho Hao Cang.

    Based on the fight in the old town, the testimony given by Hao Cang¡¯s subordinates and the evidence left behind at the crime scene, they hypothesized that Hao Cang had failed to capture earthquake cat. However, he managed to locate Isabe and retrieved the earthquake cat which she had hidden in Zhao Yao¡¯s caf¨¦. After a furious battle, Isabelle, Ho Hao Cang, and butler Xia had all disappeared. (Hao Cang and butler Xia¡¯s bodies disintegrated after Nekomata used his powers)

    Ho Hao Cang had been identified as the traitor to the country after his attack on Lin Chen and his team. They had listed him as one of the most wanted fugitives in China. His subordinates were either in prison or executed.

    At this stage, only Ho Hao Cang¡¯s family was still investigating the matter secretly. The officials had concluded the entire investigation.

    However, Inspector Ho had a hunch that Zhao Yao had something to do with this incident. Inspector Ho believed that things were not as simple as they looked.

    Inspector Ho looked at the bewildered expression on Zhao Yao¡¯s face and replied, ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± He startedughing and scratched his bald head, ¡°Your caf¨¦ is really veryfortable. What is this power? This is better than a sauna!¡±

    ¡°This is my power of massage! For a man your age, I¡¯m afraid you should not spend too much time here. Your body might not be able to handle it!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m alright! Why not you concentrate your power on one spot and let me have a good rest!¡±

    ¡°This is a caf¨¦!¡± Zhao Yao replied with a hint of annoyance in his voice, ¡°What do you take this ce for? A massage here would cost RMB 500!¡±

    ¡°RMB 500 is really too expensive. Can I get tax exemption since I¡¯m a government official?¡±

    ¡°Do you think we will dare to offer massage services if you weren¡¯t a government official?¡± Zhao Yao answered with a visible look of contempt on his face.

    Inspector Ho replied with his lips pouted together, ¡°I¡¯m doing this for my own good! I wouldn¡¯t waste my money on it if not for my health.¡±

    ¡°You should just me it on your poor health then! I suggest you should get some medicine from the pharmacy instead.¡±

    Inspector Ho nodded his head and replied, ¡°Zhao Yao, you are still too young to understand your position in society.¡±

    ¡°Understand what?¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao you have to understand these simple universal truths. We, men, are only strong in our early 20s and 30s. Once we hit the 40s, our health will deteriorate and will not be the person that we once were,¡± Inspector Ho continued with the frown on his face, ¡°Wait till you reach my age. Your body will tremble in fear when your wife rolls over on the bed.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and replied, ¡°How about I ry all that you have said to your wife?¡±

    ¡°I do not have a wife.¡±

    Zhao Yao was left speechless by his response and retorted, ¡°Then you are in no position to say what you have just said!¡±

    Inspector Ho continued, ¡°Even though I¡¯m not married, I have a wealth of life experiences. I understand the intricacies of the rtionship between a man and a woman.¡±

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you a police?¡±

    ¡°Hmm, I used to be in charge of the illegal prostitution department in my office when I was younger,¡± Inspector Ho replied as he reminisced the old times, ¡°It was an interesting experience.¡±

    Zhao Yao curled his lips in disgust and nced at Rice Cake which continued to sleep despite their conversations.

    He had already coated Rice Cake with his illusion long before Inspector Ho stepped foot into the caf¨¦. He did not want Rice Cake to attract any unwanted attention.

    ¡°It seems like I¡¯ll have to disguise Rice Cake as a beige Scottish Fold whenever I bring her over to the caf¨¦.¡± Zhao Yao thought with his lips tightly pressed together.

    ¡°Oh yes! Have you sterilized the cats in your caf¨¦?¡±

    Zhao Yao was stunned by Inspector Ho¡¯s seemingly random question and answered, ¡°Why?¡±

    Inspector Ho replied, ¡°Don¡¯t you know that supercats will lose their superpower the moment they are sterilized?¡±

    Zhao Yao was shocked by Inspector Ho¡¯s revtions. He thought, ¡°I didn¡¯t know about this! Thank goodness I did not bring Mango for sterilization, if not he would have lost his power. Actually, it might be a good thing if Mango lost his power. LOL!¡±

    ...

    Time flew, and it was about time for them to close for the day. Zhao Yao stared at hisputer screen before he twisted his body to the left and right for a gentle stretch. He concluded, ¡°It¡¯s finally time to return home after one day of hard work!¡±

    Matcha who was also resting on hisp went on his feet and began arching his back to stretch his body. He thought, ¡°What a tough day at work!¡±

    Elizabeth rolled her eyes at the pair ofzy cat and human, ¡°How tiring is it for you to sit on Zhao Yao¡¯sp and stare at hisputer screen for an entire afternoon!¡±

    ¡°Elizabeth, it is extremely tiring!¡± Matcha instantly leaped out of Zhao Yao¡¯sps and pranced towards Elizabeth, ¡°Look! My neck is very sore from the entire afternoon of gaming! Can you be a nice cat and give me a massage?¡±

    ¡°Get lost.¡±

    ¡°Elizabeth, your fur seems to be longer and more beautiful than ever!¡±

    Elizabeth¡¯s expression instantly turned from one which was filled with contempt to one that was bursting in excitement and started licking the fur on her body, ¡°Oh, really? You tter me! It must be because of the Lecithin that Zhao Yao has been feeding me with!¡±

    Meanwhile ...

    ¡°You do not deserve to be tired!¡± Shi Yu who stood behind Zhao Yao stared at him with a look of disgust, ¡°You just spent the entire afternoon ying yourputer games! Is this what the owner of the caf¨¦ is supposed to be doing?¡±

    ¡°Hey, Shi Yu!¡± Zhao Yao turned around to her with his brows knitted together, ¡°Your face seems smaller than before!¡±

    ¡°Oh really?¡± Shi Yu immediately took out her phone and stared at her reflection in excitement, ¡°Is the exercise working?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s really effective!¡± Zhao Yao replied, ¡°Back in college, I would give you a rating of 95. Now, it¡¯s easily a 98!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t think you can distract me from what I wanted to say!¡± Shi Yu finally reacted to the situation and continued, ¡°There are too many customers for Baiquan and me to handle alone. We simply cannot cope with the number of customers we are receiving!¡±

    Baiquan immediately nodded his head in agreement and said, ¡°We have to prepare the beverage, take care of the cats, tend to the customers¡¯ orders, clean the toilet, wash the cups and even clean the tables! With at least 30 or 40 customers entering our caf¨¦ every day, the 2 of us really cannot manage the crowd here!¡±

    ¡°An additional employee will make it even harder for me to keep the supercat¡¯s existence a secret. Furthermore, it will inevitably increase my overhead cost which would not be ideal for my monthly missions.¡±

    ¡°How about this, I¡¯ll be responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of the caf¨¦! I¡¯ll clean the floor, table, chair, etc.¡±

    Shi Yu nced at Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°Are you sure you are capable of that?¡±

    Zhao Yao just replied with a mysterious smile. He had decided to utilize Elizabeth¡¯s illusion to conceal his presence before he started using his extradimensional belly to absorb the dust, grime, and dirt from the caf¨¦. This would make cleaning so much easier and would lighten Shi Yu and Baiquan¡¯s workload!¡±

    After cleaning up the caf¨¦, Zhao Yao then brought the supercats and Baiquan back to his apartment.

    As usual, he waszing on his couch and scrolling through the news feed on his WeChat. Suddenly, he noticed that a new id ¡°Princess Qian¡± had been added to the supercats¡¯ WeChat group.

    Leopard Head replied excitedly, ¡°Can the neer please post a photo of yourself?¡±

    No. 1 Dried Fish Fan continued, ¡°If you¡¯re too shy to share your photo, please report your species, age, color, and weight!¡±

    Suddenly, the WeChat group was bombarded with messages to poke fun at the neer. The supercats had already adopted human¡¯s inte lingo and copied the way humans interacted on such messaging applications.

    To everyone¡¯s surprise, Princess Qian actually posted a photo of herself

    She was an unusually beautiful ragdoll that would only appear on posters andmercials. Even Zhao Yao was captivated by the cat¡¯s photo. The neer also edged out Elizabeth in terms of her looks.

    The photo invited a barrage ofments in the group.

    Leopard Head could not help but replied, ¡°So beautiful! So beautiful! So beautiful!¡±

    Godly God replied shamelessly, ¡°Hey, can I mate with you?¡±

    XxXxXL Juicy Chicken Cutlet (Roly Poly) started posting a few photos to unt the amenities avable in Zhao Yao¡¯s apartment. Roly Poly boasted, ¡°A three-story luxurious mansion with automatic self-cleaning litter box and the most delicious cat rice!¡±

    The Strongest Luban (Matcha) immediately posted a photo of Roly Poly and sneered, ¡°This is the photo of the fatso who just tried talking to you! You don¡¯t have to reply him; he¡¯s not worthy of you!¡±

    Roly Poly almost went crazy when he saw the photo of him devouring the cat tidbits being circted in the supercats WeChat group.

    ¡°This scumbag!¡± Roly Poly immediately dashed to Matcha with his lips drawn back in a snarl. Roly Poly continued, ¡°Do not step over the line! Who told you to expose my identity to the group! Quickly take back the photo now!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m just trying to help you. I¡¯m worried that she might cheat you and take away your money and waste your precious time!¡± After making his seemingly noble reply, Matcha followed up by posting a screenshot of his bank ount bnce in the group.

    At the same time, he posted a message.

    Matchamented, ¡°With so much pocket money, I don¡¯t even know what to spend the money on?¡±

    Roly Poly pounced on Matcha¡¯s back and demanded, ¡°Delete my photo, or I¡¯ll expose your identity on the group!¡±

    ¡°Alright! Alright! I¡¯ll delete the photo!¡±

    Elizabeth looked down on them with contempt and secretly tapped on Princess Qian¡¯s WeChat profile. She thought, ¡°I never expected her toe to Jiangmen city as well.¡±

    On the other end of Jiangmen city, Xiao Yu was lying on her bed, but her eyes were glued to her phone¡¯s screen. An idea sprang into her head when she noticed themotion in the group, and she started typing user her alias, Princess Qian.

    She typed, ¡°Brother Luban, you are so strong!¡±

    The Strongest Luban replied with a smiling emoji and continued, ¡°Princess Qian, do you have any sorts of preference for a male cat?¡±

    Suddenly, silence enveloped the WeChat group as all the horny male cats were eagerly awaiting her response.

    She typed, ¡°I like male cats that are good at Mobile Legends!¡±

    Roly Poly instantly crashed on the floor. Matcha¡¯s eyes glimmered with excitement as his paws darted around the screen just like how a pianist¡¯s fingers swept across the piano. He immediately tapped on the application and took a screenshot.

    Just when he was about to post this screenshot, Matcha realized that someone had already beaten him to it.

    It was actually a screenshot sent by Chubby Luban Assassin boasting his newly-attained rank.

    ¡°What? Has this guy actually reached the rank of Epic? How is this possible? He was still a Grand Master a while ago! How did he do it?¡± Matcha could not believe his eyes and mumbled, ¡°This guy is clearly a r*tard! How did he manage to do it?¡±

    Princess Qian replied in excitement, ¡°Wow! Brother Chubby, you are so powerful!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m just average. Currently, I¡¯m helping some of my friends to up their rank. Are you interested in joining me?¡±

    Matcha started jumping in anger atop his massage throne as he looked at the exchanges between Princess Qian and Chubby Luban Assassin.

    Suddenly, Matcha was distracted by a notification from WeChat. He settled down and tapped on the notification. It was a private message from Princess Qian.

    Princess Qian asked, ¡°Brother Luban, why aren¡¯t you talking on the group anymore?¡±

    ¡°Princess Qian cares about me? No, no. I need to maintain myposure and maintain my image as a cool male cat.¡± Matcha could not wait to reply her but controlled for five seconds before replying, ¡°I was busy choosing the imported canned food for the next month and just switched over to the WeChat group.

    Princess Qian replied, ¡°Imported canned food? That must be really expensive. Brother Luban, you are so cool!¡±

    Matcha replied, ¡°It¡¯s just a small thing. This is just my tidbits. Usually, I¡¯ll eat imported fish or the premium cat rice that my owner feeds me with.¡±

    Princess Qian typed, ¡°Brother Luban, can I join you in a match of Mobile Legends?¡±

    Seeing how Princess Qian continually referred to him as Brother Luban, Matcha felt so happy and felt like he was in heaven. However, he replied sourly, ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask the fatso to apany you in the game?¡±

    ¡°Brother Chubby is strong, but I would still like to y with you!¡±

    Princess Qian immediately followed that line of text with a shy emoji.

    Matcha felt as if he had been injected with a potent dosage of steroids when he saw the message and instantly stood on his feet with energy surging throughout his body.

    ¡°We¡¯ll y now! Right now!¡±

    Zhao Yao turned his head to Matcha and curled his lips in disgust. He turned his head back to Rice Cake which remained fast asleep.

    He clutched Rice Cake into his arms and could clearly feel the tremors of her faint breathing. With the power of ¡°Two is better than one¡±, he could even make out her heartbeat.

    However, Rice Cake had already been asleep for close to an entire day. Furthermore, the tremors in her body had grown stronger and stronger.

    ¡°I thought cats only required five to six hours of deep sleep a day? How can Rice Cake sleep for so long without waking up even once? Speaking of Rice Cake, I have yet to bring her for a body checkup since bringing her back.¡±

    Owners would usually bring their cats out for a full body checkup the moment they adopted them.

    This was because of the unsanitary conditions which they were exposed to when they were out in the wild. They also had to get rid of the bugs on their fur and inside their bodies. Lastly, they had to vinate the cats and identify any illnesses or diseases that they were suffering from and start treatment immediately.

    Zhao Yao still decided to bring Rice Cake to a cat hospital even though she was so soundly asleep.

    With the thought in his head, Zhao Yao had already ced Rice Cake in his cat bag, and he slung the bag over his shoulders.

    ¡°I¡¯ll be leaving for some errands and will be home soon!¡±

    Matcha was over the moon as his fingers flew across the phone screen. Roly Poly was lying on the floor, depressed over the turn of events. Mango and Dust Ball were chasing each other as usual. Elizabeth was focused on the happenings in the WeChat group and was oblivious to Zhao Yao leaving the apartment.

    Only Baiquan responded to Zhao Yao¡¯s announcement when he came out from the kitchen and asked, ¡°Boss, are you stilling back for dinner? I¡¯m almost done with it.¡±

    ¡°Hmm, you can just leave some dishes for me.¡±

    Zhao Yao bolted to Starry Starry Pet Hospital in his Panamera. To alleviate the pain of osteodystrophy, Zhao Yao even switched to Elizabeth¡¯s power to envelop Rice Cake in Celestial Beats.

    To prevent Rice Cake¡¯s identity from getting exposed, Zhao Yao also coated Rice Cake with ayer of illusion and changed her color to beige. Zhao Yao had made it a rule to cast an illusion on Rice Cake whenever he brought her out.

    ...

    Meanwhile, a young girl was carrying an unusually beautiful ragdoll in her arms. She had a grin on her face as she stared at theputer screen.

    On it were photographs of the cat caf¨¦, and close-up photographs of Elizabeth were found all over the webpage.

    She stared at the photos and chuckled, ¡°Is this Elizabeth? I¡¯ve finally found you!¡±

    The young girl started patting the ragdoll on her head and said, ¡°Diana, how about we bring Elizabeth back home to us?¡±

    Meow.

    The young girl broke intoughter when she heard the ragdoll let out the adorable meow.

    ¡°Let me take a look and find out where the caf¨¦ is.¡±

    ¡°Hmm, a cat caf¨¦ in Jiangmen city? However, there is no location listed on the website.¡± The young girl stared at the photo with the smile on her face, ¡°It seems like we have some exploring to do!¡±

    With the thought at the back of her head, she carried the ragdoll into another room.

    This room was approximately 20 square meters. There were all sorts of cat toys inside it, including kitty towers and cat beds. It was obviously a room designed for cats.

    Currently, two ragdolls werezing on the floor. Their meaty paws pped on the toy ball as it bounced between the two cats.

    The young girl nced at Diana in her arms and then switched her gaze onto the cats resting on the floor. A thought shed through her head, ¡°Which cat should I bring for this mission?¡±

    Apparently, all three ragdolls were supercats.

    ¡°I intend to bring Elizabeth back home, who wants to go with me and bring her back to our house?¡±

    A handsome-looking ragdoll stood on his feet. He meowed, ¡°As her father, it is my responsibility to bring my daughter home after she left the house without permission.¡±

    Another ragdoll who was the spitting image of Elizabeth stood on her feet as well and dered, ¡°As her mother, I¡¯m equally responsible for bringing my daughter back home!¡±

    Naturally, the young girl could not understand a single word the cats uttered. However, she understood their intentions judging from their bodynguage. At the same time, Diana nced at her and seemed equally excited about participating in this mission.

    ¡°I guess Caesar, Catherine, and Diana will all be joining me on this mission! Let¡¯s go out and bring Elizabeth home now!¡±

    Half a minuteter, the young girl pranced out of her room while humming to the tune of ¡°Perfect¡±. The three ragdolls named Caesar, Catherine, and Diana followed behind her. They walked down the hallway before entering the hall. In it, they were greeted by tens of beautiful ragdolls.

    ¡°Ashley, you must finish all your cat rice today!¡±

    ¡°Cake, you¡¯ve grown fatter again! I told you not to steal your brother¡¯s food!¡±

    ¡°Butter, I¡¯ll chase you out of the house if you scratch my sofa again!¡±

    The young girl stopped by each ragdoll and gave each of them a specific instruction. She then ran out of the house with a spring in her steps as she made her way towards Jiangmen city.

    ¡°My cute little Elizabeth, I¡¯m finally going to bring you home!¡±

    Just when the young girl had left her house, a stern-looking government apostle appeared at her doorstep. He noticed that two of his colleaguesy on the floor unconscious and frantically barged into the mansion to find out what exactly happened.

    A few minutester, he hurriedly retrieved his phone and typed out a string of words. His fingers were trembling, and cold sweat erupted from his forehead.

    ¡°Team Zhao, things are not looking great on my side.¡±

    ¡°Sun Meng is also missing.¡±

    ¡°Yes, a total of 21 apostles are all unconscious.¡±

    ¡°I know how dangerous this person is. Please ry the instruction and inform all our personnel in this area to be on alert. If they spot her ...¡±

    ¡°They must run away immediately and report to their superior!¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao and Rice Cake finally made their way to Starry Starry Pet Hospital. As usual, Dr. Liu weed them at the reception area with a wide grin on her face. She donned her usual ck stocking and bright white coat.

    Dr. Liu ran her fingers through Rice Cake¡¯s fur and did her routine checkup. However, Rice Cake showed no signs of waking up throughout the entire examination. Dr. Liu herself was taken aback by this unusual sight andmented, ¡°This is impressive! After so many years practicing as a vet, it¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve witnessed a cat which is so soundly asleep. Is her reaction slower than the usual cat? I mean do you find her slightly stupid?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s engagement with Rice Cake shed across his head, and he confirmed, ¡°No, definitely not! Furthermore, she has quite a foul temper!¡±

    ¡°This is normal. Cats suffering from osteodystrophy will be tormented by the pain all day. It would be weird if they had a good temper!¡± As she spoke, Dr. Liu picked up a cotton bud from her examination table and inserted it into Rice Cake¡¯s anus to check her feces.

    At the moment when Dr. Liu inserted the cotton bud, Rice Cake suddenly jolted awake with her eyes wide open. She let out a loud meow and escaped from Dr. Liu¡¯s arms.

    ¡°Meow!!!¡±

    The examination room was flooded with Rice Cake¡¯s shrilling shrieks, and she started running around the room. However, the cotton bud was already inserted in her, and her constant movements just made the pain even more excruciating. Finally, Rice Cake crashed onto the floor with a loud thud and tears filled her eyes.

    ¡°This despicable human!¡±

    ¡°How dare they use a cotton bud to torture me?¡±

    ¡°However, this excruciating pain had made me grown stronger than ever!¡±

    ¡°Humans, you will experience my wrath!¡±

    Zhao Yao listened to Rice Cake¡¯s threats and was about to remove the cotton bud. However, he suddenly experienced a massive tremoring from the floor.

    ¡°D*mn it! Not now!¡±

    However, this wave of tremors subsided as soon as they came. Before Zhao Yao could react to it, the earthquake had already stopped.

    Rice Cake drew her lower lip between her teeth, and her paws trembled in anger. Her entire body was shaking violently, and it seemed like she was on the verge of activating her power. However, her constant vibrating had expelled the cotton bud from her body.

    ¡°Humans, I¡¯ll send all of you to your graves!¡± Rice Cake¡¯s threat to exterminate the human race was followed by cries and howls, ¡°Meow! My butt hurts so badly!¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately bent down and carried the frightened cat into his arms. His fingers ran through her fur, and heforted her, ¡°Alright! Alright! Everything¡¯s over now! Rice Cake, don¡¯t be afraid!¡±

    Rice Cake struggled in Zhao Yao¡¯s arms as she repeatedly kicked against his arms and started crying, ¡°Meow! I don¡¯t want to be pregnant! I do not want to give birth to little kittens!¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately rified the situation, ¡°We¡¯re just checking your butt hole, and you are not pregnant!¡±

    Dr. Liu wiped the sweat off of her forehead andmented, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Jiangmen city? Why is there another earthquake?¡±

    Zhao Yao chuckled and responded, ¡°It must be due to the movement of the tectonic tes!¡±

    Dr. Liu resumed her examination on Rice Cake. With this experience, Zhao Yao immediately cast an illusion on Rice Cake to prevent her from experiencing the pains of injection, etc.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao was immersed in his thoughts, ¡°Osteodystrophy ... Pain ... Earthquake, don¡¯t tell me Rice Cake¡¯s power can only be activated when she experiences pain?¡±

    Even though this was just a hypothesis, the power of ¡°Two is better than one¡± had improved his gut instincts making Zhao Yao somewhat confident in his theory. No matter what, Zhao Yao had to be extremely careful with Rice Cake to prevent another earthquake from striking Jiangmen city.

    Zhao Yao sat on the chair with Rice Cake firmly sped in his arms as they awaited their examination results. Zhao Yao noticed that Rice Cake was rather low-spirited and decided to cheer her up with his phone, ¡°Rice Cake? Have you ever used a phone?¡±

    Rice Cake merely turned her head to one side and responded with a hmph. She was not going to reply Zhao Yao.

    Left with no options, Zhao Yao switched on his phone and started searching for interesting videos and games in an attempt to brighten Rice Cake¡¯s mood.

    However, Rice Cake remained indifferent to all the content that Zhao Yao had used to cate her. She was not interested in any drama series, anime or games.

    ¡°Rice Cake used to be a stray cat just like Dust Ball. Theirmon experience might exin theirck of interest in phones.¡± Zhao Yao scratched the bottom of his chin and thought, ¡°Maybe I should try catmint on Rice Cake. It might actually work!¡±

    Even though Zhao Yao was rather proficient with his perfect illusion, he was unable to replicate the taste of catmint because he had never tasted them before.

    Suddenly, a voice rang in Zhao Yao and Rice Cake¡¯s minds when Zhao Yao was still busy thinking of a way to pacify Rice Cake.

    ¡°Is there a cat here?¡±

    Zhao Yao was stunned by this anonymous voice and asked, ¡°Rice Cake, are you the one talking to me?¡±

    Rice Cake rolled her eyes and retorted, ¡°My voice does not sound like this!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s me! It¡¯s me!¡± The raspy voice rang in their heads once again, ¡°I¡¯m the one speaking! Can you hear me?¡±

    Zhao Yao turned his head to his left and right as he tried to locate the source of the voice. Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Who are you?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m Lightning! I¡¯m inside a cage in the corner of the room!¡±

    Zhao Yao turned his head and saw a cage that was draped in a yellow cloth. Zhao Yao followed up by asking, ¡°Are you a supercat?¡±

    ¡°Cat? I¡¯m not a cat! I¡¯m the king of the beasts, Lightning! If you release me from my cage, I will grant you one wish!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead furrowed together as he sneered, ¡°You are just a cat that¡¯s trapped in a cage! You¡¯re not the king of all animals! I think you¡¯ve watched too many episodes of Animal. Since you¡¯re already in the pet hospital, I suggest you concentrate on recovering instead of escaping.¡±

    The voice retorted angrily, ¡°I am the king of the beasts, and I¡¯m not sick!¡±

    ¡°I want to return to the barrennd. I want to run down the acres of grass patch and hunt down those defenseless animals. I can¡¯t wait to savor the taste of their blood in my mouth! I assure you that you would enjoy unimaginable wealth if you help me escape and return me to my home.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head in disbelief, ¡°I think you¡¯re really quite sick! Other than watching Animal, you must have also watched too much Discovery Channel!¡±

    ¡°What kind of nonsense are you uttering? Let me out now, or you will be a victim of my anger. Even I cannot control the beast within me!¡±

    Zhao Yao had no intentions of releasing the cat. However, he was interested to see the face behind that arrogant and delusional voice.

    He sauntered towards the cage and slowly lifted up the cloth. He finally saw the face of the animal hiding inside it.

    The cat¡¯s legs were unusually short, but it had a voluptuous butt. Its yellowish fur was thick and long which contributed to its stout build.

    It resembled a Persian cat, but the leopard spots on its face made it look somewhat different.

    ¡°Tsk, I knew it. You are just an ordinary cat and not the king of the beasts,¡± Zhao Yaomented smugly, ¡°Furthermore, you¡¯re so fat and short. I don¡¯t think you can even defeat a dog and you dare to call yourself the king of the beasts.¡±

    ¡°You are the one who cannot defeat a dog, don¡¯te here and start spouting all your nonsense!¡± The cat retorted, ¡°Are you blind? How can you call me a cat? Open your tiny Asian eyes and take a good look at me! I¡¯m a Pas¡¯s cat! The king of the open fields! The savage of the desert!¡±

    ¡°Pas¡¯s cat? Is this a new breed?¡± Zhao Yao immediately took out his phone and went on Baidu to find out more about this cat.

    The Pas¡¯s cat opened its mouth and bared its two, long fangs while its eyes seethed with anger, ¡°Can you see this? I killed a tiger with this pair of fangs. The entire mountain was painted red as the tiger¡¯s blood flooded it. If you do not release me, I¡¯ll let you have a taste of my fangs!¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re pretty cocky, silly cat!¡± The smile faded from Zhao Yao¡¯s face, and he started grabbing something in midair. It turned out to be a giant pile of shit, and Zhao Yao¡¯s arms went through the gap in the cage and stuffed the pile of shit right into the cat¡¯s mouth.

    ¡°Meow!¡± The Pas¡¯s cat struggled with all its might, but Zhao Yao still managed to force everything in.

    ¡°I thought you were the king of the beasts?¡± Zhao Yao scoffed at it and started pping his hands, ¡°You should just shut your mouth and continue to eat your shit!¡±

    After Zhao Yao released his grip, the cat immediately reached its paws inside its mouth as it tried to get rid of the shit that Zhao Yao had stuffed inside. It cried, ¡°F*cking human! What did you just do to me?¡±

    ¡°How did you create shit out of thin air?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m just teaching you a lesson. Stop acting all cocky and pretend as if you were truly the king of all beasts!¡± After reprimanding the silly cat, Zhao Yao¡¯s attention switched back to his phone as he continued researching about the Pas¡¯s cat.

    ¡°Oh? I didn¡¯t know that this cat was an endangered species. Based on the information, it is quite a vicious species. I really cannot tell from the looks of it.¡± Zhao Yao reached out his arm and tried to pet Rice Cake.

    However, Rice Cake consistently evaded Zhao Yao¡¯s hands as she looked down on him with disdain andmented, ¡°Even cats understand the importance of licking our paws clean after stepping on shit. Can you please observe some basic hygiene etiquette?¡±

    Zhao Yao bit his lower lip but hesitated from telling Rice Cake that it was just an illusion as the Pas¡¯s cat was around.

    Zhao Yao just turned his head around and warned the cat, ¡°Silly cat, if you continue to spout your nonsense. I¡¯ll ensure that you cannot speak for the rest of your life!¡±

    ¡°Back in the days, I even resorted to eating my shit to survive in the wilderness! Do you think I¡¯m afraid of shit?¡± The Pas¡¯s cat revealed its fangs once again and frantically bit onto the steel bars of the cage, ¡°If not for the cage, I would have ripped your neck into two!¡±

    ¡°Oh, you¡¯re so scary!¡± Zhao Yao said while rolling his eyes, ¡°Based on the information online, I gather that your diet consists of rabbits, rats and some other small birds. I didn¡¯t know that the king of the beasts consumed such animals.¡±

    The Pas¡¯s cat replied arrogantly, ¡°Little brat! Release me if you dare, and you¡¯ll see if I¡¯m capable of killing you!¡±

    ¡°Hey, why are you draping the cloth over my cage? Are you afraid of me?¡±

    ¡°Stop! Stop it! I promise you that I will not bite you! Okay?¡±

    ¡°Please open the door to my cage and release me! I will even let you bite me! ...¡±

    Facing the barrage of taunts by the Pas¡¯ cat, Zhao Yao was left with no choice but to drape the cloth over the cage once again. Deep down, he wasing up with a n to deal with this supercat.

    At this moment, Dr. Liu reappeared with the examination report in her hands.

    Rice Cake was much older than Zhao Yao had expected. She did not suffer from any other illnesses or diseases other than osteodystrophy. Now, she only had toe down to the pet hospital for her periodic vinations.

    After hearing Rice Cake¡¯s condition, Zhao Yao¡¯s attention gravitated towards the cat beneath the cloth. He turned his head around and asked, ¡°Dr. Liu, what¡¯s inside that cage? An animal had been screaming the moment I came here.¡±

    ¡°Oh!¡± Dr. Liu seemed pretty flustered when Zhao Yao broached the topic about the Pas¡¯s cat, ¡°Erm, it¡¯s nothing! A customer brought his cat here for a regr vination but has not returned to collect his cat. I¡¯m just temporarily keeping it here till he returns.¡±

    ¡°Hmph,¡± Zhao Yao just nodded his head and decided not to pry into the matter. He continued, ¡°Dr. Liu, why not you add me on WeChat. I believe this cat has a rather foul temper. If you need any help with it, feel free to find me.¡±

    Dr. Liu¡¯s legs started trembling when she noticed the mysterious smile on Zhao Yao¡¯s face. However, she tried her best topose herself and added Zhao Yao on WeChat. When she saw Zhao Yao leaving the hospital, a thought shed across her head, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that he knows something about it.¡±

    Dr. Liu opened her mouth and was on the verge of saying something. However, she suppressed her urge to do so when she recalled the anomaly of the Pas¡¯s cat.

    ...

    In an office in Jiangmen city, Inspector Ho was sitting on his swivel chair with his mostpetent subordinate, Lin Chen, at his side.

    Opposite him sat a stern-looking middle-aged man.

    Inspector Ho slowly spun the ballpoint pen in his hand and asked, ¡°So you want me to mobilize my manpower in Jiangmen city to help capture that female apostle?¡¯

    ¡°Her name is Sun Meng,¡± The middle-aged man reported, ¡°Please trust me. She is extremely dangerous because of her supercats. We have stalked her all the way to Jiangmen city. Please co-operate with us in capturing her to prevent her from hurting other apostles.¡±

    ¡°Regardless of how powerful or dangerous she is, I still cannot afford to mobilize my entire apostle force just for her alone. This is Jiangmen city. Do you how many problems we face in a day? Do you know how many dangerous apostles and their supercats are lurking around in the shadows? How do you expect me to help when you cannot even divulge information about her power?¡±

    ¡°Sun Meng is unlike a regr apostle.¡± The middle-aged man replied, ¡°However, because of the security ssification of her information, I am not allowed to divulge anything about her power until I receive the green light from my higher-ups. There is one thing I can promise you. If she starts going crazy in Jiangmen city, not even you or I would be able to stop her. Jiangmen city would be destroyed by her alone!¡±

    Inspector Ho nced at Lin Chen, and he responded, ¡°There will be no end to this discussion. I¡¯ll send three of my subordinates to you to help locate Sun Meng. This is what I can do. My subordinates have been working round the clock since the emergence of supercats. It¡¯s not that I do not wish to help you, but I really cannot offer any more manpower.¡±

    The middle-aged man heaved a sigh of despair and whispered, ¡°You will regret your decisions.¡±

    ...

    Rice Cake did not want Zhao Yao to touch her fur probably because of the previous incident. She just hid inside the cat bag.

    Next, Zhao Yao found an inconspicuous spot and absorbed the Panamera into his belly. Then, he used Suck Me In to transport himself and Rice Cake back to his apartment by emerging from Dust Ball¡¯s mouth.

    He saw a giant shadow leaping towards him the moment he crawled out of the extradimensional belly. It was actually Matcha as he immediatelytched onto Zhao Yao¡¯s calves and pleaded, ¡°Zhao Yao! You have to help me!¡±

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    ¡°What happened?¡± Zhao Yao shrugged his feet annoyingly to get rid of Matcha. He thought, ¡°This guy has gotten even heavier!¡±

    ¡°Help me y one round of Mobile Legends! You must be better than the stupid Chubby Luban Assassin!¡± Matcha immediately handed Zhao Yao the phone from his mouth. He was currently in the game with Princess Qian and Chubby Luban Assassin. They were presently choosing their heroes.

    They had already yed a few rounds before this. In the previous games, while Matcha was still busy farming, Chubby Luban Assassin had already gone round the map annihting the opponent. Princess Qian was in awe of his superb skills while Matcha buried his head in despair.

    Zhao Yao smirked as he took the phone from Matcha, ¡°You have found the correct person. I¡¯ve spent some time watching game streams by professional yers and my skills have consequently skyrocketed.¡±

    Zhao Yao bit his lower lip when he saw his teammate¡¯s id, ¡°Why are you ying with him again? Didn¡¯t I already instruct you to stop ying with this fatso?¡± Suddenly, Zhao Yao broke intoughter and announced, ¡°However, times are different. I¡¯ll show him what it means to be a legend!¡±

    Matcha nodded his head in anticipation as Zhao Yao beamed with confidence, ¡°Zhao Yao! I¡¯m counting on you!¡±

    ¡°Do not worry.¡± As he spoke, Zhao Yao had already selected the hero, Han Xin.

    Matcha immediately eximed, ¡°But our teammates have already chosen a hard carry.¡±

    ¡°Watch and learn,¡± Zhao Yao sniggered and typed a string of words, ¡°Allow the true legend to show you what it means to carry!¡±

    Immediately, his teammate changed to a support hero instead.

    ¡°Did you see my aura? 90% of the game is won when you have the stronger aura. You will instill confidence among your teammates and the rest of the game would be easy as 1 2 3.¡±

    Matcha nodded his head in awe, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! You are brilliant!¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t say! Thest person that tried to fight with me in Mobile Legends quit after getting destroyed by me.¡± Zhao Yao responded confidently, ¡°Let me tell you a secret, there are three levels to the game of Mobile Legends.¡±

    ¡°The first level is when you fear your opponents. Next, you will instill confidence in your teammate. The ultimate level is when your opponents fear you!¡± Zhao Yao said matter-of-factly, ¡°To be good at this game, you must be fearless. In doing so, your teammates will ce their trust in you, and your opponents will fear you!¡±

    Ten minutester, Xiao Yu threw the phone on her bed and broke intoughter after seeing the score.

    Within 10 minutes, Xiao Yu had destroyed the opponent¡¯s base. In the meantime, The Strongest Luban was still busy farming in his jungle.

    Once again, Xiao Yu was announced the MVP of the game while The Strongest Luban only managed to contribute less than 3% to the team¡¯s sess.

    Xiao Yu sneered, ¡°He¡¯s such a rookie! Given his standard, no one would even bother ying with him in school.¡±

    At the far corner of the room, the husky curled his lips in disgust. He shouted in his head, ¡°What do the primary school students in our country think about these days. I worry about the future of our nation!¡± Then, he lowered his head and resumed eating the dog food given to him.

    In the air, the mysterious Spirit Cat was floating around as usual and observing the husky. Spirit cat was extremely curious, ¡°Is dog food so delicious? Or are dogs too easily contented?¡±

    In the meantime, Fish Ball was using Xiao Yu¡¯s phone under the moniker of Princess Qian.

    All this time, Xiao Yu had been fighting under the alias of Chubby Luban Assassin while Fish Ball fought as Princess Qian.

    Fish Ball carefully scrutinized the results of the game, and his eyes zed with excitement.

    Seeing how happy and excited Fish Ball was, Xiao Yu drew her lips into a hard line and shouted, ¡°Why are you so happy? You are responsible for this entire thing! We¡¯ll only y for one more round! After this, I expect you to go outside and sweep the floor! Then, you¡¯ll mop the floor till the floor shines!¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Fish Ball stared wide-eyed at Xiao Yu and helplessly typed out a string of words, ¡°But I do not know how to sweep or mop the floor.¡±

    ¡°You can consider licking the floor using your tongue. From today onwards, you will be responsible for the entire house¡¯s cleanliness.¡±

    When Xiao Yu¡¯s voice rang in Fish Ball¡¯s head, he felt his entire body went limp as he crashed onto the floor. He stared at the ceiling with a look of desperation.

    Suddenly, he noticed the huskyughing at his predicament and he immediately shouted, ¡°Stupid dog! Who are youughing at? I¡¯ll make sure I beat you to a pulp if I hear youugh one more time!¡±

    Xiao Yu threatened Fish Ball the moment she heard his meows, ¡°If you dare to bully Noodle, I¡¯ll make sure that¡¯s thest thing you ever do in your life!¡±

    Fish Ball dashed towards the phone and his paws swept across the screen, ¡°Xiao Yu! This silly dog has also been awakened! I have this feeling that he can understand the conversation between humans and cats!¡±

    Xiao Yu turned around and observed the husky. He had already wiped the smile off his face and was staring at her with his tongue out. In Xiao Yu¡¯s eyes, it was impossible for the husky to disy any sorts of intelligence.

    ¡°What kind of nonsense are you spouting? I¡¯ve only heard of the existence of supercat but not superdog! Noodle is so cute and silly. How could he have awakened his power?¡±

    Fish Ball chewed on his lower lip while his paws tightened into a hard fist. He desperately swung his paws at the husky and shouted, ¡°Xiao Yu, you have to believe me! He is a superdog! He is just acting dumb in front of you! He uses me as a cushion every night when he goes to sleep!¡±

    Xiao Yu could not be bothered by Fish Ball and simply rolled her eyes in response. Her fingers started darting around the phone¡¯s screen, and she had left the group on Mobile Legends.

    Fish Ball stared daggers at the husky and puffed his fur into twice the original size. He shouted, ¡°Silly dog! You¡¯re despicable!¡±

    It was as if the husky was frightened by Fish Ball¡¯s meows and immediately went to hide in the corner of the room. Xiao Yu could even hear the husky¡¯s whimper.

    She shouted once again, ¡°I¡¯ve told you not to bully Noodle!¡±

    Fish Ball lowered his head as if he was wronged and whispered, ¡°But I didn¡¯t even do anything!¡±

    The husky raised his brows at Fish Ball and scoffed, ¡°You are still too stupid to fight against me. I shall begin by conquering this house and be the highest being in it. Then, I¡¯ll regain my throne atop the world!¡±

    Spirit cat floated to the husky¡¯s face and noticed the gleeful smile on his face. He thought, ¡°He seems like he¡¯s enjoying himself.¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, Matcha noticed that Xiao Yu had left the group and immediately sent a private message to her, ¡°Princess Qian, why did you leave the team? Aren¡¯t you ying anymore?¡¯

    ¡°Sorry, brother Luban, but I¡¯m only interested in ying with cats that are good at the game.¡±

    Bam!

    Matcha felt as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning and his body had been crushed into pieces.

    Zhao Yao heaved a long sigh of despair when he saw Matcha who had turned himself into a useless lump of meat as hey on the sofa, lifelessly. He secretly deleted the game from his phone and thought, ¡°Why did they pair me with such a weak opponent? They were destroyed before I even have a chance to attack them!¡±

    Zhao Yao gently rubbed Matcha¡¯s head as he noticed the look of despair and said, ¡°Matcha, don¡¯t be sad! What¡¯s so fun about this trash game? How about this, I¡¯ll let you y yerUnknown¡¯s Battlegrounds instead?¡±

    Matcha just stared aimlessly at the ceiling and thought, ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll just suck in whatever game I y. I¡¯m also growing old and I do not enough time to waste on this game. Maybe, it¡¯s time for me to give up my dream of bing a gamer.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 168: Determination and Special Training</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao was disappointed with Matcha¡¯sck of fighting spirit and encouraged him, ¡°You might be a noob now, but that does not mean that you will be a noob forever. Which professional did not start out as a noob?¡±

    However, Matcha was unresponsive towards the words Zhao Yao said and continued to stare nkly at the ceiling. Zhao Yao decided to try a new method to cheer him up by going to the kitchen and prepared some food him.

    When it was time to eat, Roly Poly, Elizabeth, Dust Ball, and Mango instantly bolted into the kitchen and gobbled up all their food.

    Even Roly Poly who used to hate cat rice was satisfied with the food Zhao Yao prepared and ate heartily. However, this was only possible because of Zhao Yao¡¯s perfect illusion.

    Rice Cake seemed to have been awakened by the aroma of the food as she slowly opened her eyes. She gently arched her back and stretched her limbs before making her way to her food bowl.

    However, Zhao Yao nced at the far corner of the room and realized that Matcha was still lying on the couch as if he was a rotten log.

    ¡°He¡¯s not going to eat has favorite cat rice?¡±

    Zhao Yao stared helplessly at Matcha and tried to cheer him up ¡°Matcha, it¡¯s time to eat!¡±

    His eyes remained glued to the ceiling. However, those pair of eyes was devoid of a spirit. Matcha heaved a sigh of despair and responded, ¡°I¡¯m as useless as the ants crawling around in our apartment. No one cares whether I¡¯m alive or dead, so what¡¯s the point of me eating?¡±

    Zhao Yao bit his lower lip and continued to appease him, ¡°That doesn¡¯t mean you have to give uppletely. You can never win another game if you choose to give up now, but there is still another chance of you winning if you continue to persevere down this path.¡±

    Matcha tilted his head and nced at Zhao Yao, ¡°Win? A rookie like me has the chance of defeating a god like Chubby Luban Assassin?¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡± Zhao Yao dered confidently, ¡°If you are willing to put in the hard work, I can personally teach you and train you into the strongest yer in Mobile Legends. In the future, tens of thousands will look up to you while girls will flock to you. You will be the god in their eyes!¡±

    ¡°Can this be done?¡± Matcha stared at Zhao Yao excitedly. Suddenly, the glimmer in his eyes vanished, and he mumbled, ¡°But you are just another rookie in the game.¡±

    ¡°My dexterity might not be as good as the professionals in the game, but this does not mean that my knowledge of the game is inferior to any professionals. Wait for me,¡± Zhao Yao returned to his bedroom. Suddenly, noises erupted from his room, but Matcha recognized it as the sound from Zhao Yao¡¯s keyboard.

    15 minutester, Zhao Yao left his bedroom with a few photographs ready in his phone, ¡°Look. This is a photo of me with a professional yer. Since things have gotten to this stage, I have decided not to withhold any more information from you. I used to be a coach on a professional Mobile Legends team.¡±

    Matcha stared at the photo, and his jaw went ck. However, he noticed something weird and asked, ¡°But the color of your head and your hands seemed slightly different.¡±

    ¡°Do not care about these insignificant details. If you focus all your attention on these minute details, you will never be the strongest in the game!¡± Zhao Yao slowly kept the photographs away, but his eyes remained fixed on Matcha, ¡°Do you want to be a noob for the rest of your life and let that fatso trample all over your head. Meanwhile, you will sit there and watch him mate with your favorite female cat and be the strongest yer in Mobile Legends? His ancestors will be proud of his achievements and thousands of cats will look up to him as the strongest to ever y the game.¡±

    ¡°I ... I... I... Zhao Yao!¡± Matcha stared at Zhao Yao, but his eyes burned with excitement and fighting spirit, ¡°I want to be the strongest ever to y this game!¡±

    Zhao Yao shouted, ¡°Alright!¡± But deep down, he thought, ¡°I¡¯ve finally managed to ignite the fighting spirit in this guy. This should keep him busy for one week or two.¡±

    ¡°Since you¡¯ve decided to be the best, we willmence with your special training right now!¡± Zhao Yao raised his hand and began to continuously clench his fist before straightening his fingers, ¡°What do you see?¡±

    Matcha¡¯s forehead furrowed slightly, ¡°Your hands are a little smelly.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not asking you about this! I¡¯ve told you not to pay attention to these insignificant details! The reason for yourckluster performance is because of your poor fundamentals. You have a high tendency to click on the wrong items on the phone¡¯s screen. This has resulted in many mistakes in your game.¡±

    Suddenly, Matcha¡¯s eyes sparkled with amazement and asked, ¡°Yes, that often happens to me. What am I supposed to do?¡±

    ¡°To solve this problem, you must ovee the boundary between humans and cats and train your paws until they are as nimble as a human¡¯s hands.¡± Zhao Yao pinched his meaty paws and continued, ¡°From today onwards, you have to train to retract your fingers one by one before you straighten them out. Your fundamental will only be strong enough when you can do it as easily as a normal human does.¡±

    Matcha stared at his meaty paws in disbelief and said, ¡°This seems so difficult!¡±

    ¡°This will be an arduous journey. If you manage to ovee this obstacle, it means that you have the talent thates once in a hundred years. You will be the dragon amongst the other cats ...¡± Before Zhao Yaopleted his pep talk, Matcha had already begun training as he carefully retracted each of his eight fingers.

    Matcha burst intoughter and announced, ¡°Coach! I think I¡¯m the legendary talent for this game! I¡¯m the dragon among all cats!¡±

    Zhao Yao was left speechless when he saw how fast Matcha picked up this skill. He thought, ¡°This silly cat seems to have a talent for all useless things. This is troublesome. I have not thought of the next training regime. I need toe up with something fast.¡±

    Meanwhile, Roly Poly was staring at his paws but failed to replicate Matcha¡¯s speed and nimbleness despite how hard he tried and practiced. Sadness clouded his features as he thought, ¡°I guess I do not have the talent thates once in a hundred years.¡±

    ¡°Not bad! It seems like you possess the talent to take it to the next level.¡± Zhao Yao let out a cough to clear his throat before continuing, ¡°Since you have alreadypleted the first step, we will now work on your uracy and strength. For a regr Mobile Legendspetition, the duration of the game could span from as short as five minutes to as long as five hours. Oil might even start umting on the surface of your screen, making it even harder to control.

    For your fingers to continually dart around in such an extreme condition, you will need to train your fingers to be extremely precise and strong.¡±

    As he spoke, Zhao Yao had already attached eight rubber bands to each of his eight fingers on his front paws. The other end of the rubber bands was anchored to the bottom of the couch. Matcha had to exert a significant amount of force every time he tried to retract his fingers to ovee the rubber band¡¯s stic force.

    ¡°Since the dawn of time, every hero had depended on weights training to be the best.

    This is the resistance band which I have specially created for you. You need to generate arge amount of force to ovee the sticity. From now on, you have to train using these resistances band when you return home every night.¡±

    A vein popped out of Matcha¡¯s forehead as he tried to retract his fingers and clenched them into a fist, ¡°This is so tiring. My hands are depleted of all their strength from just one set of this exercise.¡±

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°However, if you continue down this path and reach the stage where it takes minimal effort for you to move your fingers, you would have achieved an immeasurable amount of strength. Even a 5-hour long game would not be able to wear you down.¡±

    Matcha nodded his head in agreement, ¡°I understand, coach. I will continue to practice hard. But how do I train my precision?¡±

    Zhao Yao retrieved an electric keyboard which was coated in dust from the storeroom. He originally bought it to practice but gave up the moment he saw the music score. He had never once practiced on it.

    Now, the keyboard wasid in front of Matcha, and Zhao Yao instructed, ¡°From today onwards, you willmence training using the keyboard after your resistance bands training.¡±

    Zhao Yao acted all serious and continued, ¡°Do you know that the electronic keyboard is the most demanding sport for finger flexibility? Controlling your fingers in a Mobile Legends game will be peanuts once you master the electronic keyboard.¡±

    ¡°This is it!¡± Matcha¡¯s entire face lit up, and his eyes burned with excitement. He dered, ¡°Little fatso, wait for me! I¡¯ll destroy you until you have to delete Mobile Legends from your phone.¡±

    At the far corner of the room, Elizabeth nced at the pair of human and cat and rolled her eyes, ¡°R*tard.¡±

    For the subsequent days, Matcha focused all his energies on practicing his fundamentals. The strength of his meaty paws rose exponentially. Matcha had improved significantly.

    ...

    In the blink of an eye, a few days had zoomed past. Matcha was persistent and extremely focused on his training. He even devoted his spare time at the caf¨¦ to the mastery of his finger drills.

    This continued until a specific night at Zhao Yao¡¯s apartment.

    With a continuous ttering, Matcha¡¯s paw movements had turned into afterimages while rolls of toilet paper ced on top of Roly Poly¡¯s head had been shredded to pieces.

    The next moment, Matcha had instantaneously appeared at the front of his keyboard, and a beautiful song was heard as Matcha¡¯s fingers flew across the instrument.

    Roly Poly announced excitedly, ¡°Big brother, you have finally reached the pinnacle of both your strength and precision training. It will only be a matter of time before you are dered as the strongest to ever y the game!¡±

    ¡°Hmph, I¡¯ve finally seeded!¡± Matcha took a look at his paws, and his eyes glimmered with satisfaction, ¡°This is a result of my five days of strenuous training. I refrained from ying games, watching live streams, entertaining the customers, napping at the caf¨¦ and hitting Roly Poly. This is the product of my five days¡¯ worth of effort. I¡¯ve finally achieved this pair of steel paws!¡±

    Dust Ball just simplymented, ¡°I suggest you get rid of all the mess that you have created with your ¡®steel paws¡¯. If Zhao Yao finds out ...¡±

    Matcha and Roly Poly gave a violent shudder and immediately picked up the shreds of paper strewn all over the floor. They then disposed it into the toilet bowl.

    They finally heaved a sigh of relief after flushing everything away.

    Matcha turned around to Dust Ball and said, ¡°Thank you Dust Ball. I would have forgotten about it if not for your reminder.¡±

    Dust Ball simply nced at Matcha nonchntly and replied, ¡°You do not have to thank me. I just did not want the two of you to infuriate Zhao Yao and affect my supply of catmint.¡±

    Suddenly, Matcha¡¯s ears began twitching, ¡°What¡¯s this sound? Where¡¯s this buzzinging from?¡±

    Roly Poly scanned the entire apartment and reported to Matcha, ¡°Big brother, it¡¯sing from the neer, the Scottish Fold.¡± Roly Poly¡¯s eyes remained fixed on the Scottish Fold which was soundly asleep andmented, ¡°I¡¯m not sure what happened to this silly cat, but she has been sleeping for abnormally long hours and her snores are growing louder and louder.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, I¡¯ll just let her continue like this for now. After I teach Chubby Luban Assassin a lesson, I¡¯ll teach this silly cat about our house rules.¡± Matcha dered as he excitedly ascended his massage throne with his phone in his mouth. He immediately opened the WeChat application.

    He messaged, ¡°Where¡¯s the fatso? Come out now! @ChubbyLubanAssasin¡±

    Chubby Luban Assasin replied, ¡°Rookie, are you looking for me?¡±

    The World¡¯s Strongest (Matcha) typed, ¡°Hmph, do you see my new name?¡±

    Chubby Luban Assassin sneered, ¡°Oh, I think it suits you. Your WeChat id is as shameless as who you actually are.¡±

    The World¡¯s Strongest responded, ¡°Hmph, you do not understand a single thing. I¡¯ve ovee the boundary between humans and cats. I¡¯ve slowly metamorphosized from The Strongest Luban into The World¡¯s Strongest. From today onwards, you will look up to me as I stand atop the entire world while you remain standing on the surface of Earth.

    Xiao Yu curled her lips in disgust and replied annoyingly, ¡°Alright! Enough with your big words! Do you dare to fight me 1 on 1?¡±

    Matcha replied, ¡°Don¡¯t you understand? Our skill level is too far apart.¡±

    Roly Poly stood behind Matcha and carefully observed the trash talk between the both of them. He was taken aback by how fast Matcha¡¯s finger darted around the phone¡¯s screen, ¡°What kind of speed! Is this the product of his training? He types as fast as I speak. Until now, he has not made a single typo! How will this trante to his performance in Mobile Legends with his newfound precision and speed?¡±

    ¡°Alright! Alright!¡± Xiao Yu had enough of Matcha¡¯s trash talks and sent a game invite via WeChat.

    Momentster, the match between Xiao Yu and Matcha hadmenced.

    However, Matcha did not start ying after thepetition had started. Instead, he was hurling a barrage of words at Xiao Yu, ¡°Continue to struggle and cry! Open your eyes and observe the difference between you and me!¡±

    Roly Poly hesitated for a while but decided to remind Matcha, ¡°Big brother, I think that game has already started. Shouldn¡¯t you start ying instead of trash talking?¡±

    ¡°Why are you so worried?¡± Matcha replied smugly, ¡°When I wave my paws in the air, the dust umted in my paws would be the same no matter when I do it. To me, that fatso is just like the dust floating around in our air, waiting to die in my hands.

    Look at how fast I type. I feel as if the phone has turned into an extension of my arms. My consciousness is flowing through the world of Mobile Legends. Even I do not know how strong I¡¯ve be.¡±

    ¡°Look at this!¡± Matcha¡¯s fingers furiously pressed against the direction button and he announced, ¡°I managed to change direction 12 times within a single second. How can I lose with such speed?¡±

    Five minutester ...

    Matcha stared at his screen in disbelief. He blinked his eyes and shook his head furiously, ¡°This is impossible. How can I lose? I¡¯ll y one more round; I¡¯ll not give him any more chances.¡±

    One hour had passed, and Zhao Yao had finished his dinner. He walked out from the kitchen to see Matcha lying on his massage throne. Once again, his eyes were devoid of any spirit. He stared cluelessly at the ceiling and saliva streamed down from the corner of his lips. He looked just like a fool.

    Zhao Yao was stunned by this scene and asked, ¡°What happened to him?¡±

    Roly Poly let out a long yawn and replied, ¡°Oh. He lost seven games against Chubby Luban Assassin. I think he still cannot ept the fact that he had lost.¡±

    Zhao Yao started waving his hands in front of Matcha¡¯s face to get his attention. However, Matcha seemed oblivious to Zhao Yao¡¯s action, and his eyes remained glued to the ceiling.

    ¡°This useless fool.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s drew his lips together and asked, ¡°Matcha, do you like Princess Qian?¡±

    Finally, Zhao Yao managed to elicit some response from Matcha. Matcha¡¯s pupils constricted a little before he turned his head to Zhao Yao and said unabashedly, ¡°Yes, I want to mate with her so badly.

    However, a goddess like her is only interested in ying with cats which are good at Mobile Legends. She wouldn¡¯t even take a look at a rookie like me. I would be the soil beneath her feet while she tramples all over me.¡±

    Zhao Yao pressed his hands against his forehead and looked to Elizabeth for help, ¡°Matcha is in no condition to work tomorrow. Do you have any methods to cheer him up?¡±

    Dust Ball nced at Matcha and sniggered, ¡°He devotes all his time to this game, and yet he still sucks in it. He doesn¡¯t even groom himself nowadays, and he reeks of an awful stench. Even I will not fall for someone like him.¡±

    Bam!

    Zhao Yao felt Matcha¡¯s body shake after he heard those awful yet honest words. Dust Ball¡¯s words had crushed his soul, and his entire body was about to sink into the gaps between the massage chair.

    Zhao Yao could not believe his ears and shouted, ¡°I told you to encourage him!¡±

    Roly Poly eagerly pranced to Matcha and said, ¡°I think big brother, Matcha, is a brilliant cat.¡± Roly Poly knew that Matcha was listening to him when his ears stood up. Roly Poly continued, ¡°He is very clear about what he is good or bad at. Evidently, e-sports is not his strong suit.¡±

    Bam!

    Matcha¡¯s body sank deeper into the massage chair. Both his eyes rolled backward, and it seemed like he was about to die.

    Zhao Yao looked to Elizabeth and pinned all his hopes on her.

    ¡°Actually Matcha ...¡± Elizabeth was carefully selecting her words as she did not want to hurt his feelings further. She looked at Matcha for a few seconds. Suddenly, she opened her mouth, arched her body and began to retch.

    She finally managed to control herself and wiped the corner of her lips. She said embarrassedly, ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, but the customers fed me too much cat food today. My stomach is a little bloated from all the food.¡±

    ¡°Hey! Hey! Hey! Matcha, do not jump out of the window! This is the 17th floor, if you jump out, you will instantly die.¡± Zhao Yao shouted as he carried Matcha from the windowsill.

    ¡°Hey, Matcha, you wanted to buy a Mobile Legends skin, didn¡¯t you? I¡¯ll give you the hundred dors you need.¡±

    Zhao Yao was testing the waters. He needed to gauge the true depth of the cat¡¯s despair.

    Matcha ambled forward, then copsed onto Zhao Yao¡¯s hand.

    ¡°What¡¯s the point?¡± he responded lifelessly, ¡°I¡¯ll get owned anyway. People will just say that all I have are skins, not skills.¡±

    ¡°Well, at least you¡¯ll look awesome. A good skin can strengthen your hero¡¯s powers too.¡±

    ¡°Forget it,¡± Matchamented, ¡°Useless cats like me have no ce in the game. I¡¯m just an easy target for raising the enemy¡¯s kill count.¡±

    ¡°Hmm,¡± Zhao Yao thought, ¡°This is more serious than I expected.¡±

    There was a glint in his eye.

    ¡°I¡¯ll have no choice but to unleash my ultimate skill if this continues tomorrow.¡±

    Unfortunately, before the next day coulde, Zhao Yao was faced with another problem.

    It took the form of snores that thundered through the house in the dead of night. They were so loud that the floors started shaking.

    ZzzzZzz...hngrRRr...hmphNGork...

    Zhao Yao refused to get up. He was dog tired. He threw the nket over his head and dug deeper into the sheets, willing himself to fall back asleep.

    It took 30 minutes for him to give up.

    He shuffled into the living room, cursing, ¡°Christ, who¡¯s snoring like that?! How can anyone be so utterly inconsiderate?¡±

    Hideous dark circles had appeared under his partially opened eyes.

    When he entered the living room, he spotted Elizabeth, Roly Poly, and Dust Ball crowding around a sleeping Rice Cake. The Scottish fold was blissfully oblivious. She remained fast asleep, snoring like a rhino with a congested nose.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes flew open in rm when he realized that the three cats were not just watching her.

    They were taking action.

    Elizabeth¡¯s eyes glowed red as shepelled Rice Cake to hit herself in the head multiple times. This stopped the snoring for just a moment before itmenced again with gusto.

    This prompted Roly Poly to step up. He leaped forward, then sat on Rice Cake¡¯s face.

    The three waited with bated breath to see if it worked.

    ¡°Is it over?¡±

    Just as they heaved a collective sigh of relief, an even more terrible sound was heard.

    Roly Poly¡¯s butt started vibrating, followed by the rest of his body. When he opened his mouth, what sounded like the loud revving of an engine filled the air.

    ¡°That¡¯s it, I¡¯ve had enough!¡± Dust Ball cried.

    She lunged towards the unsuspecting Rice Cake, mouth wide open, revealing a row of sharp teeth. It seemed like she intended to bite the Scottish fold¡¯s head off.

    ¡°Stop!¡± Zhao Yao activated Timefreeze to prevent a bloody tragedy from unfolding.

    ¡°Have you all forgotten this fe is capable of creating earthquakes?¡± he chided, ¡°If we hurt her, the building might just copse. We could¡¯ve killed tons of people, including ourselves.¡±

    He took a look at Rice Cake, who was still sound asleep.

    ¡°Thank God she sleeps like a log. I don¡¯t think she¡¯ll be too happy if we wake her,¡± he thought.

    ¡°What are we supposed to do? She gets noisier by the day. I doubt we¡¯ll be getting any sleep tonight,¡± Elizabeth said, brows furrowed.

    ¡°I¡¯ll think of something,¡± Zhao Yao responded.

    He cradled Rice Cake in his arms, then started stroking her from nose to tail. This did nothing to lower the intensity of her snores.

    Heughed awkwardly as Elizabeth, Roly Poly, and Dust Ball red at him.

    ¡°Hmm...she has been sleeping for longer hours and snoring more and more loudly,¡± he mused, ¡°The earthquakes...are they created through vibrations in the air? Are they formed by a stronger version of the tremors we feel now?¡±

    He took another look at Rice Cake. The pieces in his mind suddenly clicked together. He nodded.

    ¡°Her meows and growls have always been much louder than a normal cat¡¯s. Maybe generating earthquakes is just a by-product of her power. Her true ability is to cause powerful vibrations. The vibrations and snores could have been amplified because they created a resonance with Elizabeth¡¯s Celestial Beats. And maybe she¡¯s resting more because it helps her to use these vibrations as a form of therapy for her disease.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head rapidly as his thoughts started spiraling deeper. He had to deal with the matter at hand first.

    ¡°If she continues snoring like that, the cats are going to kill her,¡± he thought.

    Zhao Yao stared at the cat he was holding.

    ¡°To think I thought she was abandoned because of her osteodystrophy. Turns out it¡¯s this monstrous snoring all along.¡±

    He turned to Dust Ball.

    ¡°I guess we¡¯ll have to coax her into the extradimensional belly. C¡¯mon, open it up. I¡¯ll wake her,¡± he instructed.

    Zhao Yao then flicked Rice Cake¡¯s forehead gently. He wanted to wake her but was afraid that anything too sudden or painful would frighten her and ignite an earthquake in response.

    His worry turned out to be unfounded because Rice Cake remained in a deep slumber.

    ¡°Why are you being so gentle! She¡¯s a cat, not your dick,¡± Dust Ballined, ¡°Move.¡±

    She jumped forward,nding right in front of Rice Cake. She raised one forepaw and smashed it against the Scottish fold¡¯s face repeatedly.

    ¡°You piece of s**t!¡± she cried, ¡°Why can¡¯t you just sleep quietly like a normal cat?! You better wake up right now!¡±

    Zhao Yao tensed when he witnessed Dust Ball¡¯s outburst. His eyes darted to Rice Ball, who continued sleeping, her face now marred by the angry cat¡¯s dirty paw prints.

    ¡°Let me go!¡± Dust Ball hissed, ¡°I¡¯ll kick her until she wakes up! Don¡¯t get in my way!¡±

    Zhao Yao held Dust Ball by the scruff of her neck. She persisted in kicking and punching the air like a crazy drunk.

    ¡°Have you secretly eaten catmint?¡±

    ¡°What are you talking about? Of course I have not!¡± Dust Ball responded.

    The mere mention of catmint, however, had caused her to twitch and drool slightly.

    ¡°I¡¯ve not secretly eaten any! I¡¯m perfectly sober and I¡¯m ready to teach this idiot who¡¯s boss!¡±

    Zhao Yao knew he had to subdue the hysterical cat. He put one finger to his temple and activated Elizabeth¡¯s power to control her. She fell limp.

    He then looked up to find that Rice Cake had disappeared.

    ¡°Has she awoken?¡± he wondered.

    This was immediately proven unlikely because he could still pick up a steady wave of snores. He moved his gaze across the room, following the direction the sounds wereing from.

    Eventually, he was met with the sight of Roly Poly dumping Rice Cake into the rubbish bin. The fat cat then tied the ends of the ck stic bag together, sealing it shut.

    ¡°Goddammit, Roly Poly, I¡¯m going to kill you.¡±

    Once he sensed the murderous aura Zhao Yao was emitting, he immediately fell to the ground in surrender.

    ¡°It wasn¡¯t me! It wasn¡¯t me!¡± Roly Poly repeated, shaking in fear.

    Elizabeth, who had been sitting at a distance, pursed her lips. The red glow in her eyes started fading.

    ¡°It¡¯s not like we really threw her away,¡± she muttered.

    ¡°Alright guys, that¡¯s enough,¡± Zhao Yao said, scooping both Elizabeth and Roly Poly in his arms.

    Hepelled Dust Ball to walk towards the furthest corner of the living room.

    ¡°I¡¯lle up with a solution. Just stop meddling, please. If we piss Rice Cake off, she might set off another earthquake,¡± he warned.

    <h4>Chapter 171: Vibrations and a Bout of Insomnia</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    ¡°You¡¯ve changed,¡± Elizabeth said, shooting Zhao Yao an icy stare.

    ¡°Changed how?¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t give a s**t about us now that there¡¯s a new cat,¡± Dust Ball remarked, shaking her little head, ¡°You men are all the same. It¡¯s always out with the old, in with the new.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t like this Scottish fold. We should sterilize her. Her power is too dangerous,¡± Elizabeth added coolly.

    Roly Poly chimed in as well. ¡°The cat-to-floor-area ratio here is a getting quite unfavorable.¡±

    ¡°I agree,¡± Dust Ball continued, ¡°Her presence is tearing us apart, Zhao Yao! You¡¯re too biased towards her. If she and I both fell into the sea, who will you save first?¡±

    The three supercats piled sentence after sentence on top of each other¡¯s words. They got increasingly carried away,pletely disregarding Zhao Yao even though he was standing right in front of them.

    This made him purse his lips.

    He understood that cats did not like new additions to the family. Normal cats would grow aggressive when that happened to exert their dominance and fight for their rightful territory. Supercats may be a whole lot smarter, but they still shared these same tendencies.

    This snoring episode was just the first spark of tension. It lit the fuse for even conflicts in the future. Zhao Yao knew that if he did not stamp it out now, the hostility the rest bore towards Rice Cake would explode.

    Like a parent disciplining wayward children, he had to be firm. And a little dramatic.

    ¡°Yes, I have changed, haven¡¯t I?¡± he seethed, ¡°I think I¡¯ve be too nice recently. Now, look at you. You¡¯ve repaid my kindness with disrespect. Have you forgotten who your master is?¡±

    As Zhao Yao spoke, the cats could sense a deadly, ck aura radiating from him. It seemed to shoot through the air, rocketing right at them like a bullet.

    Roly Poly was the first to respond.

    ¡°Oh no! Zhao Yao is angry!¡± he cried, dropping to his knees and covering his head with his paws.

    He started shaking violently in fear, which activated his power of invisibility. Within seconds, he was disappeared. All that remained was a pool of yellow liquid on the floor.

    Roly Poly had wet himself.

    Elizabeth¡¯s pupils had contracted in fright. Strands of her long, white hair had started to the ground out of stress, but she spoke up anyway.

    ¡°We don¡¯t have to be scared! What¡¯s the worst he can do? Hit us? That¡¯s nothing, am I right, Dust Ball?¡±

    She turned around to find Dust Ball has disappeared as well. The dwarf had sucked herself into the safety of the extradimensional belly.

    Elizabeth turned back around, shaking.

    She had been abandoned.

    ¡°I¡¯m not afraid of you, Zhao Yao!¡± she eximed, gulping.

    Zhao Yao ignored her. Instead, he cast his eye to the urine sttered on the floor.

    ¡°Roly Poly, you better clean up your mess or I¡¯m making you lick the floor dry, ¡± he red.

    ¡°Yes, sir!¡± the fat cat said obediently, revealing his physical form.

    He sprung to the kitchen and returned with a wad of paper towels hanging from the corner of his mouth.

    Zhao Yao then flexed his fingers menacingly before reaching into his mouth. He hooked one finger and threw a struggling Dust Ball out. The cat hung onto his lips, kicking and screaming.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want toe out! Let me go!¡±

    ¡°Toote now,¡± Zhao Yao said simply, his eyes shing red.

    Dust Ball immediately froze up and fell to the ground with a thud.

    Zhao Yao sauntered towards the sofa. He reached underneath one of its seats and pulled out a small bag of catmint. He then picked up a lighter on the table with his free hand.

    ¡°See this? This is 99% pure catmint imported all the way from Yunnan. It¡¯s good stuff,¡± he taunted.

    Zhao Yao flicked the wheel of the lighter, producing a me. He made sure Dust Ball¡¯s eyes were on him before he held the catmint over the fire, burning all of it into smoke and dust.

    ¡°One gram is enough to give you a high you would never forget. s, it¡¯s all gone now,¡± he said.

    He waved one hand to dissipate the dust for dramatic effect.

    ¡°Noooooo!¡± Dust Ball cried, leaping and reaching for the remnants of the catmint.

    Zhao Yao now turned his attention to Elizabeth, whose hair was falling at an rming rate.

    ¡°Don¡¯te any closer!¡± she warned him, ¡°Don¡¯t make me use my powers on you!¡±

    ¡°Threatening me now, are you?¡± Zhao Yao chuckled darkly.

    Instead of advancing towards her, he held up his phone and started typing rapidly.

    ¡°In response to your threat, I¡¯ve changed the wifi password. And you, my dear Elizabeth, have no clue what it is!¡±

    The ragdoll¡¯s mouth fell to the floor in shock. She looked up at Zhao Yao in despair, then fell to the floor in slow motion, hair shedding everywhere.

    How could she survive without wifi? She had lost her one and only way to watch her favorite drama series. Just thinking about all the TV shows she now could never finish brought her physical pain.

    Now that the cats were preupied with their own catastrophes, Zhao Yao thought he could finally deal with Rice Cake. Unfortunately for him, there were more than three cats in the house.

    His ears twitched as he picked up the suspiciously soothing sound of water flowing. He whipped around and was greeted with a horrific sight.

    Mango had nted his bum squarely on Rice Cake¡¯s face. He had also started peeing directly on her.

    ¡°No!¡± Zhao Yao eximed.

    There was a bit of movement behind Rice Cake¡¯s eyelids. She was starting to stir.

    Zhao Yao wasted no time in forming an illusion around her, obscuring Mango¡¯s stench.

    When Rice Cake woke up, she got to her feet gingerly. There was a quiver in her nose as she sniffed the air.

    ¡°Huh. Why did I dream that my head was being peed on?¡± she wondered, confused.

    Her attention quickly shifted from her strange dream to an overflowing food dish that was ced mere meters away. It smelt absolutely divine and looked absolutely mouthwatering. It caused a surge in her appetite.

    She shuffled forward and took a few massive bites before dozing off again. Her head was smashed into the food, thunderous snores blowing bits of it everywhere.

    Zhao Yao stepped out from behind her, wiping sweat from his brow. He removed his illusion to reveal that they were now in the extradimensional belly. The appetizing food dish had lured Rice Cake there.

    ¡°Phew,¡± he whistled, ¡°That was close.¡±

    His nose crinkled when he caught a whiff of Mango¡¯s pee. The unpleasant stink was radiating off Rice Cake, who could sleep peacefully because he was still obscuring her senses.

    ¡°Oh Mango, you stupid cat,¡± he muttered, rolling up his sleeves.

    He shrouded his own sense of smell and knelt next to Rice Cake, grimacing as he cleaned her up.

    By the time he was done washing both her and himself, it was already four in the morning.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, I can still sleep for three hours. Everything¡¯s fine,¡± Zhao Yao told himself.

    He climbed into bed and closed his bloodshot eyes.

    Sadly, this peace did notst.

    He was so exhausted that he had not noticed the furry thingy climbing onto his bed and settling by his pillow. Just as he was about to fall asleep, it started talking to him.

    ¡°Zhao Yao,¡± Matcha sobbed, ¡°I can¡¯t sleep.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes snapped open, his pupils clouded with fury.

    He grabbed Matcha with one hand and tossed him off the bed. Then, he shut his eyes again.

    A few minutester, he felt a ball of fur tunneling through his nket, wriggling next to his feet.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, my heart hurts. Is this what it feels like to fall out of love? Is that why it¡¯s called heartbreak? I don¡¯t wanna love anymore.¡±

    Matcha barely finished his monologue when he was kicked off the bed andnded on the floor with a boing.

    More time had passed before a wave of warm air grazed Zhao Yao¡¯s ear.

    ¡°Zhao Yao!¡±

    Matcha climbed onto the top of his head and started singing, ¡°Never mind I¡¯ll find someone like you. I wish nothing but the best for you too...¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes were wide open again. He slowly turned his head to Matcha, who was now belting out another song with emotion.

    ¡°In another life, I would make you stay, so I don¡¯t have to say you were the one that got away...¡±

    Now that he finally got Zhao Yao¡¯s undivided attention, Matcha stopped singing and looked at him in the eye.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, why did Qian Qian choose the fatty when I love her so much? Are we star-crossed lovers that are destined to never be together?¡± Matcha asked, his face full of sorrow.

    ¡°This is not love, you idiot. You two just yed Mobile Legends together a couple times! Don¡¯t be the kind of dumbass that fantasizes about marriage when you see a pretty girl¡¯s photo and starts dreaming about your children together when you see a live stream,¡± Zhao Yao scolded.

    Matcha¡¯s Loyalty -1

    ¡°F**k.¡±

    Zhao Yao took a deep breath and turned to Matcha with a kind expression.

    ¡°Then again, the fact that you fell in love with Qian Qian after just a few games proves that you¡¯re the best kind of lover there is. You truly are the most faithful cat I¡¯ve ever seen.¡±

    Zhao Yao let out a huge yawn.

    He very much wanted to p the fat cat seated in front of him.

    ¡°Damn it. I forgot about those stupid loyalty points.¡±

    He pressed the home button on his phone. It was now five in the morning. Thest hour could have been spent on sleeping, but it was wasted thanks to Matcha¡¯s harassment.

    ¡°Stupid cat. Now I only have two hours left,¡± he grumbled to himself.

    He took a look at Matcha from the corner of his eye, then turned to him, crossing his legs.

    ¡°Let¡¯s continue this conversation tomorrow?¡± he suggested.

    Matcha looked at him with bright green eyes. ¡°No, we need to talk now. I can¡¯t sleep.¡±

    Zhao Yao returned his look with a death re. ¡°Can¡¯t you just let me sleep for now? I have to wake at 7.30.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s expression grew even more bitter. He opened his small mouth and started singing again.

    ¡°All by myself~ Don¡¯t wanna be all by myself anymore...¡±

    Matcha¡¯s Loyalty -1

    ¡°What the ¨C ?¡± Zhao Yao cursed.

    Sighing heavily, he sat up straight and rubbed his face, trying to stay awake.

    ¡°Alright, alright. Point taken. What¡¯s going on? What do you need?¡±

    Matcha ced his white paws on Zhao Yao¡¯s thighs and looked up at him with desperation.

    ¡°I really, really, really like Qian Qian. I¡¯ve never liked a cat so much ever! What should I do?¡± the ginger cat asked earnestly.

    Zhao Yao pursed his lips, ¡°C¡¯mon, you don¡¯t really like her, do you? You just think she¡¯s attractive.¡±

    ¡°Plus, I¡¯ve already imparted to you my skills. Just keep practicing. In a few months, you¡¯ll be able to beat that fatty and take Qian Qian up the leaderboard. She¡¯ll love you to death,¡± he added.

    ¡°But...but I lost today,¡± Matcha said sadly.

    He blinked hisrge eyes a few times at Zhao Yao, ¡°Is there a simpler solution?¡±

    ¡°No,¡± Zhao Yao responded in a deadpan voice, ¡°You lost because you haven¡¯t practiced enough. Just practice more and you¡¯ll win one day.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s Loyalty -1

    Zhao Yao¡¯s lips formed a tight, thin line as the loyalty points took another dip.

    ¡°But look at my hands!¡± Matchained, stretching his paws, ¡°I¡¯ve been working hard every day! If I keep it up, all my lovely fur is going to fall. They¡¯ll end up bald!¡±

    Zhao Yao could not help but roll his eyes.

    ¡°You just want to skip the hard work to get the girl and jump straight into the mating, don¡¯t you?¡±

    ¡°Hehe, that¡¯s not true,¡± Matchaughed, embarrassed, ¡°We should still spend the time to get to know each other. Maybe lick each other¡¯s fur for a start.¡±

    ¡°Idiot,¡± Zhao Yao thought, pinching the bridge of his nose, ¡°Whatever, let¡¯s just get this over with so I can get some sleep.¡±

    He grabbed his phone from underneath his pillow and flipped through Princess Qian¡¯s photos. After a few quick looks, he used Elizabeth¡¯s powers to craft an illusion that fitted Matcha¡¯s needs.

    ¡°Here you go, Matcha.¡±

    The ginger cat gaped at the sight before him. A beautiful cat with luscious long hair and a sweet face had appeared on the bed. She was lounging on a pillow, a soft, sexy glow radiating off her.

    Princess Qian was here.

    When she lifted her paw to her lips and started licking them indulgently, Matcha could not contain his excitement. His bushy tail shot upwards like a lightning rod and he rushed forward.

    Beyond the illusion, Zhao Yao could see that the beautiful cat Matcha was humping enthusiastically was just a cushion.

    Matcha¡¯s loyalty went up by a point each time his body tremored.

    ?

    Three secondster, a shiver ran down Matcha¡¯s body as he flopped on top of the cushion. A blissful look crossed his face.

    Matcha¡¯s Loyalty +10

    ¡°Seriously? That was worth ten points? Geez, who would have thought that being a wingman was the fastest way to bond?¡± Zhao Yao scoffed, looking at the panel.

    Matcha¡¯s points had risen back to the maximum of one hundred points.

    ¡°Alright, I still have two hours to sleep. Don¡¯t bother me,¡± he said.

    Matcha did not respond. He remained motionless, eyes shut,pletely rxed.

    It took a mere moment for him to open his eyes again. There was no longer a trace of desperation or sorrow in them. Instead, they were full of fire, energy, and just a touch of disinterest.

    He shook his head.

    ¡°That was disappointing. Definitely not as mind-blowing as I expected. I don¡¯t think I need a femalepanion after all.¡±

    He was experiencing absolutely rity in his thoughts now. The longing he felt before had disappearedpletely. His adoration for Princess Qian had dissipated too.

    ¡°Hmm, that was stupid. I am George Matcha, sole descendant of the Jiangmen Folds, the almighty savior of all cats. How could I have wasted so much time chasing some cat?¡±

    He pursed his lips. ¡°I don¡¯t need a female in my life. I just need my phone. Speaking of, I better make up for lost time.¡±

    With that, he switched on his phone and started ying Mobile Legends. He was still battling when the sun started to rise at dawn. That was also when Princess Qian sent him a private message.

    ¡°Luban oppa, whatcha up to?¡±

    Matcha waspletely unconcerned.

    ¡°Too bad, princess, I¡¯m not interested. You can¡¯t tempt me ever again.¡±

    He turned back to Mobile Legends and never replied.

    *

    That morning, a flurry of events was taking ce in another building in the city.

    Lin Chen hurried down a corridor that was cordoned with barricade tape. He entered the room that he was called to. The floor was covered in footprints and paw prints.

    ¡°Captain Lin,¡± a member of the team called out to him.

    He was a slightly chubby man.

    ¡°The neighbors called the police at around ten in the morning. The door was unlocked. There should be five people and 32 cats here. The people are unconscious and the doctor is not sure when they wille to.¡±

    ¡°Unconscious?¡± Lin Chen asked, stroking his chin thoughtfully, ¡°I believe a British Shorthair named Fatty Bombom stayed here for a while.¡±

    ¡°Yes, the family that lived here used to breed British Shorthairs. A few of the cats were awakened after the incident,¡± the chubby man exined, ¡°The owners were never ambitious. We registered them as civil servants so that they could get a nice paycheck and benefits every month. They didn¡¯t ask for more or stir any trouble. They just continued running the cattery as usual.¡±

    ¡°Oh, they just opened a cat cafe too,¡± he added.

    Lin Chen nodded silently. A square-jawed man standing beside him spoke up.

    ¡°Putting people in aa is Sun Meng¡¯s modus operandi. I¡¯ve told you time after time that she was a threat, but you never listened. We¡¯ve got to capture her and put an end to this nonsense,¡± he said solemnly.

    ¡°I admit that we¡¯ve underestimated her,¡± Lin Chen looked the man in the eye, ¡°Help me out here. Why is she attacking this cattery and her fellow apostles?¡±

    The square-jawed man returned Lin Chen¡¯s steely stare.

    ¡°Sun Meng can control a person¡¯s dreams. She has to enter the dreamscape to do that. Spending too much time submerged in it might have stunted her mentally. She¡¯s not quite normal anymore.¡±

    ¡°Okay, but based on your previous intel, she can only control the dreams of one person at any one time. So what¡¯s happened here? We¡¯ve got five people down.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not sure. Her power could have evolved. She could have somehow learned tobine a few different powers. We know she has two more supercats. She was hiding that from us when west interviewed her.¡±

    As the two men continued the discussion, the phone in the chubby man¡¯s hand started to ring.

    ¡°Hello?¡± he started.

    ¡°Kirin Cat Cafe was hit as well? Everyone is unconscious?¡±

    ¡°Yes, I understand.¡±

    ¡°Captain Lin,¡± he looked to Lin Chen.

    Lin Chen nced at the square-jawed man, then walked out the door before the chubby man had to say another word.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    The crease between Xiao Yu¡¯s brows grew deeper the longer she stared at her phone screen.

    ¡°Why hasn¡¯t that silly cat responded?¡± she wondered, ¡°His replies have always been instant.¡±

    Her unblinking gaze was disrupted when she heard a woman¡¯s voiceing from outside the bedroom. ¡°Xiao Yu, are you up? It¡¯s time to go to a school!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll be right there!¡± she shouted back.

    Xiao Yu turned back to her phone and shook her head.

    ¡°Forget it, he probably didn¡¯t see my message. I¡¯ll get my money another day. He¡¯s stupid enough to fall for whatever I say.¡±

    She then spotted Fish Ball from the corner of her eye. He was sprawled across the sheets, fast asleep. She unceremoniously kicked him off the bed.

    ¡°What¡¯s happened? Is it another earthquake?¡± Fish Ball asked, struggling to open his eyes.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you have your own bed? Why are you on mine?¡± Xiao Yu asked in a tone that could have frozen peas.

    Fish Ball uttered a loud meow in response and scrambled for his phone. He started typing rapidly.

    ¡°It¡¯s all that stupid dog¡¯s fault! He stole my bed! I was so cold without it.¡±

    He blinked up at her innocently.

    ¡°I can only have fallen asleep if I¡¯m in your arms,¡± he added.

    Xiao Yu did not reply. Her face merely puckered. She jumped off the bed, got dressed, and left the room. She was immediately greeted by Noodle, who wagged his tail excitedly and started circling her.

    Her mom¡¯s voice sounded from the kitchen again.

    ¡°He has been waiting outside your door all morning. He wouldn¡¯t even eat when we told him that his food is ready.¡±

    ¡°Aww, is this true?¡± Xiao Yu asked happily, squeezing the husky¡¯s face, ¡°My adorable little Noodle.¡±

    Her happy expression transformed into a death re when she turned to Fish Ball.

    ¡°You¡¯re full of lies, aren¡¯t you? Noodle has been sleeping by my door the whole night!¡±

    Fish Ball watched in defeated shock as she faced the husky again to give it a big hug.

    ¡°You devious monster!¡± he thought, staring daggers at the dog.

    Noodle returned the cat¡¯s hateful look with a side eye of his own.

    ¡°This house only has space for one pet ¨C me. A supercat with rubbish skills like you will only get in my way,¡± he chuckled darkly to himself.

    After one final head rub, Xiao Yu got to her feet and took a seat at the dining table. She ate breakfast quietly, bare feet swinging in the air.

    Fish Ball and Noodle were busy eating as well. They had stuffed their faces into their respective bowls, gulping food down noisily.

    Spirit Cat was hovering over them, undetected. His eyes were fixed on the dog food that Noodle was thoroughly enjoying.

    ¡°I wonder what that tastes like.¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t put it in words. Whatever it is, it¡¯s awesome,¡± the husky responded.

    Ever since he possessed the dog¡¯s body, Ho Hao Cang started being able tomunicate with the cat. He was able to understand his meows and even talk to him telepathically.

    He had no clue why this was happening. He did not know that by using Spirit Cat¡¯s power to keep himself alive, he was now half a supercat himself. A supercat without powers, that is.

    ¡°Hey, how¡¯s your mission going? Have you located Ares and the gang?¡± the husky asked.

    ¡°I returned to the vi but it¡¯s been sealed off. I can¡¯t find any trace of them.¡±

    Noodle stopped eating for a moment, his eyes zing.

    ¡°That¡¯s alright. Just keep on searching. Once you find them, lead them here. I¡¯ve got a n.¡±

    *

    Noodle¡¯s determination and drive werepletely absent at the cat cafe.

    Zhao Yao stared at the table nkly. He looked quite frail with the dark circles under his puffy eyes. He felt weak and disoriented too. He had barely slept three hours the night before.

    ¡°Yo,¡± Shi Yu greeted,ing closer to take a good look at Zhao Yao.

    ¡°What happened to you? Did you spend the whole night being defeated at yerUnknown¡¯s Battleground?¡±

    Zhao Yao shot her a re.

    ¡°Preposterous. I would never lose like that. I was up all night taking care of the cats.¡±

    He sighed dramatically. ¡°Raising those little rascals has not been easy. To think I have to do it all alone. It¡¯s not easy being me, you know.¡±

    As he spoke, Matcha paused in front of them, swishing his tail. He stared up at Zhao Yao, his eyes rolling back into his head from extreme sleepiness.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, I yed Mobile Legends through the night. I haven¡¯t slept a wink. Can I take leave today?¡± he asked.

    Like Matcha, Elizabeth, Roly Poly, and Dust Ball all wore the same, exhausted expression. Only Mango remained energetic and full of life. He was currently scrambling around the cafe in high spirits.

    It was obvious that he had somehow slept throughst night¡¯s earth-shattering snoring.

    Roly Poly batted hisshes at Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Shall we take a break today? We¡¯re too exhausted to serve our customers well,¡± the fat cat reasoned.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s vacant eyes bored into his.

    ¡°I slept the least of all of us. Do you see me asking for a break? Why do you even need a break? All you do all day is sleep in the customers¡¯ arms! I can¡¯t sleep in their arms even if I wanted to. A break? No way.¡±

    Zhao Yao then turned to Baiquan.

    ¡°And you. Where were youst night? Why didn¡¯t you help out?¡±

    ¡°I was asleep,¡± Baiquan responded truthfully.

    Zhao Yao gaped at him. ¡°You could sleep through that kind of snoring?¡±

    ¡°I always put on my earphones and listen to music in bed.¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed.

    ¡°Alright, get to work. I¡¯ll just rest here.¡±

    He intended to slump onto his usual table in the corner and nap.

    The moment he sat down, however, he remembered that the earthquake cat was still stuck in the depths of the extradimensional belly.

    *

    Ares the Persian cat stared forward nkly, struggling to keep his eyes open. They were puffy and ringed with red. He looked like he was in extreme emotional distress, the kind that will cause him to copse at any moment.

    Wave after wave of loud buzzing noises had kept him up all night. It sounded like a thousand angry cicadas screeching right in his ears.

    The worst part was that ever since the noise started, it showed no sign of stopping. Instead, it grew stronger and more forceful, literally shaking the ground. Ares felt like even his organs were vibrating from the impact.

    At wits¡¯ end, he released his reflective field to shield himself and his friends from the reverberations.

    He would halt his power every half hour, checking to see if the noise had died down. Unfortunately, it never did.

    ¡°Are you kidding me?¡± Ares groaned, checking the time, ¡°What kind of monster does renovation work at 4 a.m.?!¡±

    He looked around him in despair. The rest of the cats were lying in a heap on the floor, blissfully asleep. Ares had made sure that the range of his power covered his friends as well so they could continue sleeping.

    It was an altruistic move that required Ares to sacrifice both his mental and emotional well-being. He had to stay up, all alone, in order to maintain the deflective field.

    He grew terribly exhausted and envious of everyone else, who could enjoy unadulterated rest. It felt almost unfair.

    Ares could no longer remain selfless, especially when he watched Garfield turning to his side and curling luxuriously into a ball, drooling. He raised one paw, then smacked it squarely on Garfield¡¯s face.

    ¡°What..? What¡¯s happened?¡± Garfield asked, jumping to his feet in an instant, ¡°Has the giant cat returned?¡±

    His sudden movement had caused the rest of the cats to wake, rmed. All four supercats descended into a nervous panic that led them to scramble in different directions, hiding in whatever boxes they could find.

    ¡°You useless lumps of fur,¡± Ares seethed, ¡°This noise has been going on for far too long! Do you expect me to block it out for you all night? I haven¡¯t slept a wink!¡±

    Garfield was the first to spring into action.

    ¡°Please, God, please let this end qui -,¡±

    Four pairs of paws covered his mouth before he couldplete his plea.

    ¡°How dare you make more wishes!¡± Ares raged, fire burning in his eyes.

    Fujin the Siamese cat stuck out his tongue as he heaved a sigh of relief.

    ¡°Oh, that was close. This rascal almost wasted another wish.¡±

    ¡°Boys, desperate times call for desperate measures. We¡¯ve got to tie him up,¡± Ares stated.

    Within a few minutes, the cats wrapped Garfield up like a mummy with the tape and rope that they ripped from carton boxes. He struggled throughout the process but was unable to throw them off.

    He could not speak because of the strip of tape tightly pressed against his lips, but he was yelling at his so-called friends telepathically.

    ¡°Hey! Why are you tying me up? I was just trying to help!¡±

    ¡°Help? Wasting our wishes isn¡¯t helping, you idiot!¡± Ares turned from Garfield to the rest, ¡°Make sure you all keep an eye on him. If he secretly makes another wish, beat him up.¡±

    Just as Ares gave hismand, the constant noise stopped as instantly as when I started. He blinked his eyes rapidly a few times, then twitched his furry ears.

    ¡°It¡¯s finally over?¡±

    Outside the extradimensional belly, Zhao Yao sensed that Rice Cake has finally started to stir.

    She opened her eyes gingerly, revealing orbs that shone brightly. She stretched, arching her back with a series of loud cracks from her joints.

    She then opened her mouth and emitted one meow. The sound cut through the air and sent a visible ripple through it. It gained momentum as it traveled further, eventually cumting into a loud boom that echoed throughout the extradimensional belly.

    After a thorough round of stretching, Rice Cake felt blissfully rxed. The soreness and tension in her tiny body were gone, her hind legs being the only exception. They still hurt, but the pain had be bearable.

    She bounced around, leaping and jumping through the tightest spaces between the cardboard boxes stacked near her. She was in a much better condition now than before her long, thunderous sleep.

    She let out a few meows gleefully and was surprised when she saw that they produced visible ripples in the air.

    This was a moment of epiphany for Rice Cake. She had never been quite able to control her powers. Now, free from the pain caused by her osteodystrophy, she found that she could rein in the impact of her vibrations.

    She also realized that she could not unleash her full powers voluntarily. That, unfortunately, only came when she was in excruciating pain.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up in understanding as he observed Rice Cake darting around. His thoughts clicked into ce as he put two and two together.

    ¡°She was healing herself as she slept. That¡¯s why she was out cold for so long,¡± he thought.

    ¡°Her vibrations must¡¯ve resonated with the frequency of the Celestial Beats to produce some kind of healing energy. The energy grows stronger when she produces stronger vibrations. That¡¯s why she was snoring like a buzz sawst night. I wonder if she¡¯s fully recovered.¡±

    Muchter, Zhao Yao would take Rice Cake to the animal hospital to run multiple tests. The results would reveal that her self-healing was sessful in preventing her condition from worsening.

    However, the damage that was already done could not be reversed. She would have to bask in the Celestial Beats to recuperate.

    At present, Zhao Yao felt that it was safe to release Rice Cake back into the real world.

    The Scottish fold had barely gotten used to the transformations in her body when a sh of light pierced the air before her. In the next second, she had fallen out of Zhao Yao¡¯s mouth andnded in his arms.

    In the glow of the Celestial Beats in the cafe, everyst trace of pain was erased. Her eyelids grew heavy as she rxed, finally at ease.

    Zhao Yao scratched the top of her head gently.

    ¡°You feel much better now, don¡¯t you? Do you know that you created a ruckusst night?¡±

    Rice Cake did not respond. Instead, she started kneading him on the chest.

    Kneading was a cat¡¯s way to show that they were feeling happy and content. This was a habit they picked up as kittens, when they would knead their mother to stimte milk production. Even as adults, they associated this action with thefort of nursing.

    The instant that Rice Cake had appeared, Elizabeth, Roly Poly, and Dustball had noticed. They wrinkled their noses when they noticed a new scent in the air, then whipped their heads around in unison.

    Three pairs of bloodshot eyes were cast firmly on her.

    Dust Ball revealed her sharp teeth before emitting a short, sharp hiss.

    ¡°It¡¯s that bitch again. Why has Zhao Yao released her? Look at how she¡¯s kneading him! Such a calcted move.¡±

    Elizabethughed dryly. ¡°Well, it is the fate of us old cats to be neglected when a new one joins the family. That¡¯s how humans are. To them, new is always better. I¡¯ve seen this too many times before.¡±

    ¡°My darlings,¡± Matcha interjected, cing his white paws on his chest, ¡°There¡¯s no need to pay her any mind. Being the subject of Zhao Yao¡¯s affections is not altogether a good thing. Itnds you in the undesirable position of bing a public enemy.¡±

    Inexplicably, he was speaking with a British ent.

    Elizabeth rolled her eyes at him.

    ¡°You¡¯ve been leeching off the five seasons of Downton Abbey that I¡¯ve downloaded to my phone, haven¡¯t you?¡± she asked in a surly tone.

    ¡°My dear, how could you use me of such a thing? We are sisters bound by blood. I would never do such a thing,¡± Matcha responded in a high-pitched voice.

    Elizabeth¡¯s face remained frozen and emotionless. ¡°Is that so? With that ent of yours, you must have gone through a couple seasons at least.¡±

    Neither of them paid any attention to Roly Poly, but he decided to join the conversation anyway.

    ¡°Bound by blood? That is a luxury we cannot afford. Rtionships are fleeting. Here, everything may seem golden one minute, but it turns quickly into ashes the next,¡± he said with dramatic ir.

    ¡°So you¡¯ve been watching Downton Abbey off my phone too!¡± Elizabeth red.

    Away from the supercats¡¯ squabble, Zhao Yao was still rubbing Rice Cake¡¯s head while he talked to her gently.

    ¡°From now on, you¡¯ve got to be a good girl, alright?¡± he started, ¡°I don¡¯t want any more trouble from you. For starters, you¡¯ve got to stop unleashing your powers whenever you like. I¡¯ll lock you up again if you do that.¡±

    An involuntary tremble ran down Rice Cake¡¯s spine as she remembered how dark and lonely the extradimensional belly had been. She absolutely hated spending time there.

    Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief when she did not retaliate against his threat. He could finally spend some time rxing and ying his games in his usual corner in the cafe. He left Rice Cake on the ground by his feet as he started a new match.

    The Scottish fold started grooming herself as she nced around the cafe, her gaze eventually falling on Elizabeth and the rest of the cats.

    ¡°Now that my condition has been stabilized, I can start using my powers to their full potential,¡± she thought to herself.

    ¡°I¡¯ve experienced nothing but pain since I was a kitten. This pain has fueled me. It has transformed me from something ordinary to a god among cats. Humans have abandoned, abused, and humiliated us cats for too long. Whatever pain they have inflicted on us, I will inflict on them tenfold. They will feel my wrath!¡±

    Rice Cake scanned the group of cats that were huddled together. ¡°For a start, I can ept these guys as my disciples.¡±

    As she had spent most of her short time here asleep, she had hardly interacted with them and was clueless about what they were like. Hence, she could only judge them based on their size.

    ¡°The fattest one should their leader. That ragdoll seems quite strong too. They won¡¯t be easy targets,¡± she analyzed.

    She could feel a vein throbbing by her temple when she spotted Matcha¡¯s artificially folded ears, ¡°This one is just trash.¡±

    Her eyes eventually fell on Dust Ball.

    ¡°Ah, this little guy should be the weakest link. I¡¯ll start with you.¡±

    The formtion of Rice Cake¡¯s grand n to recruit Dust Ball was interrupted by a loud squeal from behind.

    ¡°Oh em gee!¡± Coco Sun shrieked in excitement, picking up Rice Cake without hesitation.

    She was dressed in a maid costume today.

    ¡°Bossman, when did the cafe get another adorable Scottish fold?¡± she demanded.

    Zhao Yao looked up at Coco. He studied her costume appreciatively.

    ¡°Nice outfit. Did the Cosy Club take part in another event today?¡± he asked, then turned to the unwilling cat that was in her arms, ¡°We picked this one off the streets a few days ago. Speaking of, you haven¡¯t been here for a while, have you?¡±

    Rich kids like Coco were his lifeline. He had to make sure that they were going to keep patronizing the cafe.

    ¡°What?! Picked off the streets? A beautiful Scottish fold like this? I don¡¯t believe that,¡± she said, stroking Rice Cake¡¯s head, ¡°Aww, she¡¯s really cute! Is she up for sale?¡±

    ¡°Nope,¡± Zhao Yao shook his head, ¡°Stop tempting me with money. I¡¯m not selling the cats, no matter the offer.¡±

    He nced at Rice Cake, who was ring at Coco with her mouth open, a neat row of sharp teeth on disy.

    ¡°Be careful with this one. She can be quite aggressive,¡± he warned.

    The moment those words left Zhao Yao¡¯s lips, Rice Cake bit Coco¡¯s hand, a ferocious expression settled on her face.

    Instead of shock or fear, Coco simplyughed it off.

    ¡°It¡¯s fine. She¡¯s just ying. See? She didn¡¯t hurt me.¡±

    Zhao Yao quickly turned his face away so his eyes could emit a faint red glow without Coco seeing. He chided Rice Cake as he took control of her body.

    ¡°Have you gone mad? How can you just attack someone like that!¡±

    ¡°I hate it when humans hold me in their filthy arms! I can work in this cafe, but on one condition ¨C my body is not up for grabs! No touching is allowed,¡± she retorted.

    Zhao Yao pursed his lips.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± he said to Coco, ¡°You can¡¯t carry this one. She¡¯ll bite when she¡¯s picked up.¡±

    ¡°But she was doing alright just now!¡± Coco frowned, disappointed.

    Zhao Yao motioned towards Rice Cake, who was baring her teeth at the girl. ¡°She really will take a chunk out of your hand if you keep holding her.¡±

    Coco nodded with a sigh. As a cat lover, she understood that some cats did not like being picked up.

    To prevent more violent episodes, Zhao Yao then stuck a big post-it on Rice Cake¡¯s neck. The words ¡°Do not hug or carry¡± were written on it in capital letters.

    Once he was done, his phone started ringing.

    It was Inspector Ho.

 Chapter 175: A Warning and a Choice

    <h4>Chapter 175: A Warning and a Choice</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    ¡°Hello? Inspector Ho? I think you called the wrong number. I don¡¯t offer the kind of special services you¡¯re looking for,¡± Zhao Yao joked.

    The inspector responded in a serious tone that was theplete opposite of his light jesting.

    ¡°I¡¯m calling about something serious. A dangerous female apostle has appeared in Jiangmen City. The police are after her now. She has attacked several ces where supercats are known to reside in. To date, more than ten apostles have been hurt here.¡±

    ¡°Oh? I see. Do you need my help?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s voice had turned low and grave as well.

    ¡°We¡¯re good for now. I just wanted to warn you to be careful. I¡¯ll send you her phototer. If you see her, do not strike. You must run and hide, then notify me, got it?¡±

    ¡°Are you for real? Me, hide?¡±

    The inspector¡¯s stern warning was a surprise. He knew very well that Zhao Yao could do a lot more than just protect himself, so why was he advising him to run? Who was this apostle? What was the extent of her powers?

    ¡°Trust me, she¡¯s not to be messed with. Jiangmen isn¡¯t her first rodeo. She wrecked havoc in another city previously, defeating more than 30 apostles. Prolific as she may be, we know nothing about her,¡± Inspector Ho replied.

    ¡°More than 30?¡± Zhao Yao gaped.

    He had not even met that many apostles.

    As the severity of the situation sunk in, his eyes narrowed, pupils contracting like a cat¡¯s.

    ¡°To rake up this kind of damage, her abilities must be both powerful and unexpected,¡± he concluded.

    Inspector Ho agreed. ¡°Yes. This is why I¡¯m giving you this call. Every officer is warning the apostles they¡¯re in touch with about her.¡±

    He paused for a moment before continuing.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, I know you¡¯re powerful, but please, if you meet her, take the careful route and stay away. We have no idea what we¡¯re up against.¡±

    ¡°Got it,¡± Zhao Yao nodded.

    He knew that it was never smart to attack someone whose abilities you did not understand. This ignorance could get even the most experienced fighters killed.

    After Inspector Ho hung up, he opened his WeChat group to see if anyone was discussing this mysterious apostle.

    Sure enough, there was a bit of talk about her.

    Omnipresent: Haven¡¯t you guys heard? That female apostle has been attacking all kinds of catteries and cafes in Jiangmen City. It¡¯s like she¡¯s looking for something...

    ¡°What could she be looking for? Earthquake cat?¡± Zhao Yao pondered, brows furrowed.

    He then shook his head, smiling weakly.

    ¡°Doesn¡¯t matter. She¡¯s not making an effort to be sneaky about what she¡¯s doing. With the whole government on her trail, she¡¯ll be caught soon.¡±

    If her powers had great offensive capabilities, it was likely that she was sorelycking in terms of defence. When the policee for her, she was not going to be able to escape.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s thoughts were interrupted by a message from Inspector Ho.

    The apostle¡¯s photo was here.

    The girl in the image seemed to be in her early 20s. She had cascading, glossy ck hair. To Zhao Yao, she looked like an ordinary university student, not some menace that was capable of attacking more than 30 of their fellow apostles.

    After taking one look, he cast the photo and all thoughts of the girl aside. The people that were after him were all dead at this point. Not a soul knew that the earthquake cat was here. It was unlikely that she would target him next.

    ¡°Well, it¡¯s none of my business. Back to work,¡± he announced.

    He then settled into his usual seat and switched on hisptop, ready to finally start the workday.

    Rice Cake had been pretty busy as well. Despite the post-it of shame on her neck, three more customers tried to touch her. She bit and kicked them away sessfully.

    She had no time to deal with their grimy hands. Her focus was entirely on her target, Dust Ball.

    She had been observing the tiny cat for a while now. She watched as Dust Ball carefully inched towards the bathroom, pausing frequently to check if anyone was looking at her. When she was just a few meters from the entrance, she rushed forward with a burst of energy and dived right in.

    She thought she was cautious, but she failed to notice that Rice Cake¡¯s eyes had been on her the whole time.

    ¡°Suspicious,¡± Rice Cake thought, ¡°But this works in my favor. I need her isted when I trounce her.¡±

    With a swish of her tail, she made her way to the bathroom as well.

    Once Dust Ball entered the room, she looked around, making sure that every automatic litter box was vacated. All but one was empty. Roly Poly walked out of it, a look of satisfaction on his face. He nodded in Dust Ball¡¯s direction when he spotted her.

    ¡°Ma¡¯am, you¡¯re using the toilet too?¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± Dust Ball nodded.

    ¡°Okay. I¡¯ll give you some privacy. See you,¡± Roly Poly said.

    With great difficulty, he squeezed his fat bum through the cat p and left.

    Now that the bathroom was empty, Dust Ball could start on what she set out to do.

    She climbed to the kitty toilet that was on the highest tform. She hesitated for a moment, her eyes zing over the litter that she was standing on. She reyed the conversation she had with Zhao Yao this morning.

    *

    ¡°Dusty Girl, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to give you the goods,¡± Zhao Yao said, scratching the back of Dust Ball¡¯s head, ¡°You know who I am. You know what I stand for. I¡¯ve made it so far in this world because I¡¯m fair. I follow the rules.¡±

    ¡°What rules, you might ask?¡± he continued, pausing for dramatic effect, ¡°If you do well, I reward you. If you make mistakes, I punish you. Last night, you made a mistake, so I burnt your stash. Do you have a problem with that?¡±

    Dust Ball looked up at him with a look of suspicion, ¡°Are you talking to me?¡±

    ¡°Of course I am. Dusty Girl, I¡¯ve taken you under my wing, so it¡¯s my responsibility to take care of you. I want to give you a second chance.¡±

    He then nted a couple firm pats on her small shoulder.

    ¡°The poop umted in the extradimensional belly has to be removed. Do that well and I¡¯ll give you the next batch of catmint.¡±

    Dust Ball shot Zhao Yao a death re.

    ¡°Did you just ask me to-,¡±

    Before she couldplete her sentence, Zhao Yao had mped her mouth shut.

    ¡°Dusty, you¡¯ve been with me for the shortest amount of time. You¡¯ve never had to get your hands dirty. It¡¯s time for you to y a part in this gang. I¡¯ll leave you to think about what you should do. Come, let¡¯s have breakfast together. Matcha and the rest are waiting.¡±

    *

    At first, Dust Ball could not even imagine conceding to Zhao Yao¡¯s ludicrous request.

    However, as the morning passed and brought on the afternoon, she found herself reconsidering. She was suffering from catmint withdrawal. She felt ufortable and restless and could not think about anything apart from the mint.

    She knew that Zhao Yao had installed two automatic litter boxes in the extradimensional belly. They were for Ho Hao Cang¡¯s five supercats, who have been putting them to good use.

    The toilets were self-cleaning, but all the waste had to go somewhere. Zhao Yao used to deal with that, but he had grown unwilling to do the dirty work.

    ¡°Do I...do I really have to vomit poop out of my mouth for a bit of catmint? Is this who I have be?¡± Dust Ball asked, deted.

    She could not help but recall the unforgettably disturbing sight of Matcha bent over the toilet, hurling poop out of his mouth. She remembered how her view of the world crumbled into ashes when she saw it.

    ¡°Do I have to be that kind of cat too?¡±

    While she hesitated, Rice Cake had managed to sneak into the bathroom. She stealthily got closer to Dust Ball so she could observe her.

    ¡°What¡¯s up with this guy? Why isn¡¯t she moving? Constipation?¡± Rice Cake wondered, ¡°Should I strike now? Or do I wait until she¡¯s mid-poop and at her most vulnerable?¡±

    Before a choice could be made, she witnessed something that transformed her expression into one of fear and terror.

    ¡°This...this...this cat is vomiting poop?!¡± she thought, taking a few steps back.

    The smallmotion she created disrupted the silence in the bathroom.

    Dust Ball looked up and turned towards her.

    Now that Dust Ball was looking at her squarely in the face, Rice Cake was able to see the mixture of poop and waste that was spewing out of her mouth.

    ¡°Ppp...poop monster!¡± she cried.

    Horrified, she let out a wail before rushing towards the cat p. She needed to get away from this revolting creature.

    A look of panic briefly crossed Dust Ball¡¯s face. She quickly shut the portal to her extradimensional belly and stopped the violent vomiting before going after Rice Cake.

    ¡°You! Stop!¡± she yelled, ¡°It¡¯s not what you think it is!¡±

    Rice Cake screamed in terror as the poop monsternded before her, obstructing her path to the exit. She stood up straight on her hind legs to widen the gap between them. A shiver ran down her spine.

    ¡°You stink!¡± she eximed, covering her face with her paws.

    ¡°I...I...,¡± Dust Ball tried exining, ¡°I¡¯m not a poop monster. This is my ability -,¡±

    Rice Cake cut her off before she could finish her sentence.

    ¡°Your ability is to vomit poop?!¡± she asked, casting Dust Ball a look of utter disgust.

    ¡°No, no, that¡¯s not it! My power is to open the door to a new dimension, one that doesn¡¯t exist on this earth and cannot be reached by anyone else. My mouth is the entrance to that dimension,¡± Dust Ball said, drawing closer.

    ¡°Don¡¯te any nearer!¡± Rice Cake warned in a shrill voice, ¡°You¡¯re still a poop monster! You store poop in that dimension you¡¯re talking about!¡±

    She froze for a moment as the dark implications of Dust Ball¡¯s words sunk in.

    ¡°You...you said your mouth is a portal to this dimension. Does this mean...does this mean?!¡±

    ¡°No! I didn¡¯t consume the poop!¡± Dust Ball protested, tiny arms iling in the air, ¡°I ate five supercats! This is all their poop! They were pooping in the dimension!¡±

    This caused Rice Cake to descend into a state of hysterics.

    ¡°Oh my god!¡± she screamed, pushing herself against the wall behind her, ¡°Don¡¯t eat me! My name is Rice Cake, but I¡¯m not at all edible or tasty. I¡¯ve also not pooped for a day! My stomach is full of s**t!¡±

    ¡°Jesus Christ,dy! Keep quiet!¡± Dust Ball said angrily, rushing forward to stifle her.

    She was humiliated enough knowing that she was vomiting poop for catmint. She did not know what she would do if the other cats learned about this.

    Rice Cake looked at her assant helplessly. She was too frightened to fight off Dust Ball¡¯s paw, which was pressed firmly against her mouth.

    Feeling a tinge of guilt, Dust Ball licked the sides of her neckfortingly.

    She was exactly mid-lick when a head popped up through the cat p.

    Matcha¡¯s face broken into a cheeky grin when he spotted the two cats huddled together lovingly.

    ¡°Aww, isn¡¯t this cute? Are you girls pooping together? I didn¡¯t know your rtionship was already at that stage,¡± hemented.

    ¡°Mind your own damn business,¡± Dust Ball retorted, baring her teeth, ¡°Get out.¡±

    ¡°That was rude, you piece of trash,¡± Matcha said, squeezing his head back out the cat p.

    ¡°I¡¯m telling Elizabeth and gang that you¡¯re in cahoots with the new cat!¡± he yelled as he disappeared from view.

    Dust Ball¡¯s whiskers trembled with rage. She snapped her head back to Rice Ball, a determined look set on her face.

    ¡°I¡¯m warning you,¡± she started, ¡°If I find out that you told anyone about what you just saw, I¡¯m going to vomit all the poop left in the dimension right into your mouth.¡±

    A sliver of panic shone in Rice Cake¡¯s eyes. She nodded vehemently in response.

    ¡°The cats in this cafe are psychos!¡± she thought in dismay.

    Dust Ball removed her paw from the frightened Scottish fold¡¯s mouth and patted her head instead.

    ¡°From now on, you¡¯re with me. I¡¯ll take you under my wing,¡± she announced.

    Rice Cake¡¯s first reaction was to refuse profusely. However, the sight of Dust Ball¡¯s open mouth and the lethal smell emitting from it stopped her from doing that.

    ¡°I got it,¡± she said, nodding her head.

    Quite a bit of internal monologue had taken ce before she coulde to that decision. ¡°I have to fake subservience for now. This monster is too powerful. If I want to one day bring suffering to mankind, I have to first protect myself. I¡¯ll have to let go of my pride.¡±

    Dust Ball narrowed her eyes at Rice Cake, sizing her up.

    ¡°Good. I need you to go outside and be my lookout. Don¡¯t let anyonee in until after I¡¯m done,¡± she instructed.

    Since Rice Cake had already caught her in the act, she made the perfect watchman.

    Obediently, Rice Cake stuck herself in the cat p, blocking it entirely. Goosebumps ran up and down her body whenever she heard the disgusting belching from behind her.

    ¡°Psychos. They¡¯re all psychos here,¡± she thought miserably.

    *

    Zhao Yao was absorbed in another round of yerUnknown¡¯s Battlegrounds when he felt something furry squirm onto hisp. He nced down to find Rice Cake curled in a tight ball, pressing against his abdomen.

    The cat was crying on the inside.

    ¡°This is madness! The cats in this cafe are insane! I¡¯m safer in this human¡¯s arms,¡± she thought.

    Zhao Yao took another curious look at her before getting sucked into the game again. He was, however, soon distracted by his ringing phone. The caller¡¯s name shing on his screen made him feel slightly anxious.

    ¡°Hello?¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    ¡°Yep.¡±

    ¡°Yes, I understand.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll be home next week.¡±

    He heaved a sigh of relief after hanging up.

    ¡°Damn, I can¡¯t believe I forgot about this.¡±

    He had promised to visit his family this month. However, he was so preupied with dealing with Ho Hao Cang and the earthquake cat that hepletely forgot about it. By now, the month was drawing to a close. His mom called him to remind him toe home.

    Zhao Yao had no idea how he was going to exin his newfound wealth to his parents and sister. He wanted to share some of his money with them, but that would no doubt raise the difficult question of how he struck it rich in the first ce,

    ¡°I¡¯ll think about it after this match.¡±

    Rice Cake¡¯s furry ears were twitching to the beat of the gunshots from Zhao Yao¡¯s game.

    Curious, she stood on tiptoes and straightened her body, both paws ced on the edge of the table to keep her bnced. She stared at hisptop screen, transfixed.

    As she watched Zhao Yao¡¯s avatar make a bloody mess of a woman with a shotgun, her eyes shone.

    All the mobile games, videos, and animations that Zhao Yao had shown her before did not interest her. Rice Cake had gone through real hardships. Those things paled inparison to the realities of the harsh world.

    But this was different.

    Watching Zhao Yao kill his way through the game was a revtion. The myriad of weapons, the bloodshed, and the explosions were a jolt to Rice Cake¡¯s system. She could not look away.

    As a new round began, Rice Cake watched in frustration as Zhao Yao¡¯s naked avatar adopted a defensive mode of ying. He focused on scavenging for items across the room and ran when he saw other people.

    ¡°Why are you running away?!¡± she eximed, ¡°Kill, kill, kill!¡±

    ¡°You know nothing, Rice Cake,¡± Zhao Yao said, patting the agitated cat on the head, ¡°To seed, you have to y the long game. Hiding today gives me a chance of winning tomorrow. It gives me the chance to be that final survivor. I don¡¯t even have a weapon. If I strike now, it¡¯s the end.¡±

    Rice Cake listened attentively to Zhao Yao¡¯s lecture. She did not grow angry or defensive. Instead, her eyes shed with understanding and agreement.

    ¡°That¡¯s right. There¡¯s no point in fighting when I¡¯m not confident of winning. Survival is key. Not pride or glory,¡± she thought to herself, ¡°It¡¯s the same for me. I¡¯m at this cafe to survive. I¡¯ll grit my teeth and lie low today for that one chance at victory tomorrow.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s avatar crouched behind the door, biding his time. The moment an opponent entered the room, he unleashed a fury of bullets that hit the unwitting enemy, whom would crumple to the ground.

    Zhao Yao did not finish him off immediately. He switched on his mic and asked, ¡°Hey asshole, do you still like chasing me now?¡±

    ¡°Hey, bro, chill out. I¡¯m sorry, okay? Let me go, please,¡± the opponent responded.

    ¡°Sure, as long as you call me daddy,¡± Zhao Yao chuckled.

    ¡°Oh, go to hell.¡±

    That prompted Zhao Yao to pull the trigger and kill him.

    Rice Cake, who had been observing the entire exchange unblinkingly, was bursting with excitement because she could hear the pain in the enemy¡¯s words.

    As Zhao Yao snooped through the dead opponent¡¯s weapons and items, a rapid session of bullets pierced his body. He fell to the floor and tried climbing away.

    ¡°You think you can get away with killing my teammate, boy?¡± his attacker taunted.

    ¡°Bro, chill. We¡¯re on the same side,¡± Zhao Yao said, echoing his victim¡¯s words.

    ¡°There¡¯s no ¡°we¡±. Call me God and I might spare you.¡±

    ¡°F**k you. Why don¡¯t you kill me if you have the balls to do so.¡±

    This resulted in a terribly violent end for Zhao Yao¡¯s character. He was beaten to death with bare fists.

    ¡°C¡¯mon, guys! Get your asses here and kill this son of a bitch. I need revenge!¡± Zhao Yao yelled into the microphone.

    His angry outburst brought a smile to Rice Cake¡¯s face.

    ¡°This is it,¡± she said, ¡°This is how I make the humans suffer. I turn them against each other.¡±

    Her eyes were transfixed on the screen, thoughts running through her head.

    ¡°This is most interesting. I shall observe your ugly nature, humans, and use it as part of your downfall,¡± she thought.

    She spent the rest of the day studying each and every round of yerUnknown¡¯s Battleground Zhao Yao yed. Every time he killed an opponent or mocked them, she felt a perverse surge of happiness.

    But when she saw Zhao Yao getting killed, well, she felt nothing short of unadulterated joy.

    While she watched the screen, the rest of the supercats were watching her.

    ¡°What the heck? She¡¯s been in Zhao Yao¡¯s arms for far too long! Even I don¡¯t stick to him like that!¡± Matcha said bitterly.

    He turned to Roly Poly. ¡°What do you think, Roly P?¡±

    The fat cat was sprawled across a table, drooling and fast asleep. Being kept up all night by Rice Cake¡¯s snoring took a toll on him.

    ¡°Trash,¡± Matcha muttered, turning to Elizabeth and Dust Ball instead, ¡°What do you guys think?¡±

    Elizabeth blinked a few times before letting out a yawn. She did not sleep well either.

    She did not have the mental and emotional capacity to think about Rice Cake. She just wanted to know when Zhao Yao will finally let her know the new wifi password. Everything else was secondary.

    ¡°I should be able to connect to the cafe¡¯s wifi still,¡± she pondered, ¡°It¡¯s just about finding the right time to try it...¡±

    Dust Ball did not care about what Matcha said either. All she could think about as shey on a table was catmint.

    ¡°I¡¯ve cleaned up the toilets, Zhao Yao. When can I get the new batch?¡± she asked him telepathically.

    Zhao Yao cracked a smile as he continued his match.

    ¡°Dusty Girl,¡± he started, ¡°As long as you clean up after them every day, I¡¯ll give you a bag of high-quality catmint every day in return. What say you?¡±

    ¡°Every day?! That wasn¡¯t the deal! You lied! You¡¯re not trustworthy!¡± Dust Ball cried.

    Zhao Yao chuckled darkly.

    ¡°Dusty, you¡¯re too young and too naive. No one is trustworthy in this cruel world,¡± he said with an air of experience, ¡°But think about it. My offer works to your advantage. Receiving one big lump sump shipment won¡¯tst as long as daily packs of catmint. Work hard and your supply will never run out.¡±

    When Dust Ball shot him a suspicious look, he smiled brightly and rubbed the back of her head.

    ¡°I¡¯m sure you don¡¯t want to ever experience the pain of living without catmint again, do you?¡±

    Involuntary tremors ran down her spine.

    Having received no reply, Matcha tried provoking the cats into eliciting some form of reaction.

    ¡°Hey, trash collector, aren¡¯t you on the same side as that fake Scottish fold?¡±

    Dust Ball paused his conversation with Zhao Yao to cast Matcha a death re. ¡°Shut your trap, peasant.¡±

    Matcha responded by gasping, then dramatically pressing his white paws on his chest. He folded his ears tly against the top of his head.

    ¡°Who are you calling a peasant? Me?¡± he asked with mock exasperation and disbelief.

    ¡°So, what do you say, Dusty?¡± Zhao Yao asked, bringing his attention back to their discussion.

    ¡°Would you rather journey down the path to glory or continue being like any of these other cats? Work for me and I¡¯ll guarantee that you¡¯ll always have a bag of catmint at hand.¡±

    ¡°A pack a day? That¡¯s five packs in five days,¡± she stretched out one paw, then the other, ¡°And 10 packs in 10 days!¡±

    She continued counting even though the number had exceeded what she could represent with her paws.

    ¡°I¡¯ll do it!¡± she concluded.

    The rest of the day passed quietly.

    Now that Rice Cake¡¯s condition had improved, she did not sleep excessively or snore loudly. She was perched on Zhao Yao¡¯sp, watching his every move in the game. She would dance joyfully when something exciting happened.

    After the Princess Qian incident, Matcha was no longer burdened by affairs of the heart. He could wholeheartedly focus on Mobile Legends again.

    Roly Poly continued to eat ravenously and Dust Ball began to work hard at clearing the poop stored in his extradimensional belly.

    As for Elizabeth, well, things were not going quite as smoothly. Today marked the second day of her inte disconnection.

    It turned out that she underestimated Zhao Yao¡¯s pettiness. He had changed the cafe¡¯s wifi password as well, much to her chagrin.

    ¡°Grr!¡± Elizabeth hissed, snapping her jaw at the customer in front of her.

    Yan Xiao Qing jumped and took a quick step back.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Elizabeth?¡± she asked, ¡°Why is she so scary today?¡±

    Elizabeth had always been the most gentle and affectionate cat. Even when Xiao Qing got too carried away and hugged her with too much force, she would just pat her politely to ask for some space. She would never scratch, bite, or hiss at someone.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Coco Sun asked, brows furrowed.

    She had donned a kimono today.

    ¡°Elizabeth is always obedient. If she¡¯s acting like this, she could be ill.¡±

    As the cafe¡¯s most frequent customer, Coco had learned a lot about cats and their behavior during her time here. She knew that well-behaved cats that suddenly became aggressive were probably not feeling well.

    She called for Baiquan, ¡°Is Elizabeth sick? She¡¯s not quite herself today.¡±

    Baiquan hurried over to the girls. His first response was to reach out to Elizabeth and scratch her head to soothe her, but she turned to bite his fingers immediately.

    Elizabeth did not loosen her bite, but he remained unfazed. Having worked in the cafe for a while, he had been bitten countless times before.

    He had also developed an approach for handling such situations.

    As long as the attacking cat did not mean to cause bodily harm, it was best not to move. Struggling would only worsen the damage done by their sharp teeth.

    Baiquan knew that in this case, all he needed to do was tomunicate with his eyes that the cat should let go.

    <h4>Chapter 178: Inte Addiction Versus Loyalty</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Baiquan¡¯s theory was proven right.

    After their stare-down, Elizabeth eventually released his finger. Shallow bite marks could be seen on his skin, but there was no trace of blood.

    The ragdoll cat looked at him guiltily.

    ¡°It¡¯s alright, Elizabeth. Just don¡¯t go biting other people,¡± he cooed, patting the top of her head, ¡°Are you unwell?¡±

    Baiquan asked because he knew that she was able to understand his words.

    Elizabeth shook her head discreetly, then cast a dirty look in Zhao Yao¡¯s direction.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, I am going to literally die if you don¡¯t give me the wifi password!¡± she yelled at him through their shared consciousness.

    ¡°You, my dear, seem to be suffering from inte addiction. It stops right now,¡± he responded.

    This caused Elizabeth to copse on the ground, her eyes filled with nothing but despair.

    It had been two long days since the password was changed. The first few hours were perfectly fine because she could watch the episodes that she had downloaded to her phone.

    Everything went downhill from there.

    Minutes felt like hours and hours felt like days. Anguish had settled in her heart. Elizabeth found herself lifeless and lethargic. She had lost interest in things that once made her happy, like her favorite cat food. She had even stopped grooming herself and going to the bathroom.

    ¡°Bossman, has Elizabeth fallen sick?¡± Coco shouted across the cafe.

    ¡°She¡¯s fine. It¡¯s just a bit of indigestion. She just needs rest,¡± Zhao Yao replied in a tone that was devoid of the worry in Coco¡¯s voice.

    Matcha had joined in themotion. He appeared next to Elizabeth and started pawing at her back.

    Bright red hearts practically shone from Coco¡¯s eyes when she saw this. ¡°Oh, how cute! He¡¯s worried about you too, my darling Elizabeth.¡±

    ¡°Aww, this is so adorable!¡± Xiao Qing chimed in, stroking Matcha¡¯s body, ¡°This Scottish fold is a bit of an oddball, but he cares about his sister. Such a sweet thing.¡±

    As Matcha enjoyed the affection that the two girls were giving him, he shot Elizabeth a gleeful look.

    ¡°Lizzie, do you want to know the wifi password?¡± he asked in a sing-song voice.

    Elizabeth returned his smile with an icy expression. She knew that there was no way this idiot would be nice to her if he was not getting anything in return. He must be up to something.

    ¡°Call me oppa and I¡¯ll tell you,¡± Matcha added, giving credence to her suspicions.

    ¡°Leave,¡± Elizabethmanded as her eyes glowed red.

    Matcha¡¯s body became stiff as a board before he lost control of it. Elizabeth hadpelled his body to do a high jump and leap away.

    His mind, however, was still very much under his jurisdiction.

    ¡°Did you really think you could control me? I can freeze time!¡± he chuckled.

    In the next moment, he had used his power and stopped time for the rest of the world. While everyone was motionless, he alone fell to the floor with a loud thud.

    ¡°Ow, ow, ow. That hurts,¡± Matchained, twisting his body to get back on his feet, ¡°I forgot that time doesn¡¯t stop for me. Oh s**t, I need to get back in the air, if not...¡±

    When time resumed, Elizabeth saw him fall from mid-air to the floor in a sh.

    ¡°As I said, I¡¯m unbeatable,¡± he said, slightly out of breath.

    He turned around to walk, or rather, limp away.

    Coco Sun¡¯s eyes were glued to him. She was gaping.

    ¡°That cat fell impossibly quickly, didn¡¯t it?¡± she wondered aloud.

    ¡°Yeah, I blinked and he was already on the floor,¡± Xiao Qing agreed.

    ¡°Well,¡± Baiquan reasoned, ¡°This is absolutely normal because cats tend to jump from great heights at great speeds. It¡¯s how they are built.¡±

    Elizabeth was not at all interested in their conversation. She had turned her head in Zhao Yao¡¯s direction again, fuming.

    ¡°Zhao Yao! What must I do to get the wifi password?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t get mad, Elizabeth. I¡¯m cutting you off for just one week. Treat this as a form of mental training,¡± he responded, ¡°Inte addiction is that little devil on your shoulder. If you want to beat him, you need courage and perseverance. If you can stay away from the inte for a week, you would gain the kind of determination that would make your powers invincible.¡±

    ¡°But I can¡¯t beat him!¡± Elizabeth eximed, ¡°I can feel a woman¡¯s voice in my ear repeating the same words ¨C get wifi, get wifi, get wifi.¡±

    ¡°This just proves how severe your addition is. You cannot let it control you, Elizabeth. You can live perfectly well without wifi!¡± Zhao Yao said bracingly.

    She flopped on her back lifelessly, staring up at the ceiling.

    ¡°I can¡¯t. All I see are hundreds of phone screens, each one showing a different award-winning drama series.¡±

    ¡°Think about it Elizabeth. For thousands of years, cats have lived fulfilling, happy lives without wifi. Why can¡¯t you do the same? Without the inte, you can pursue other hobbies. You can try a teaser wand, or chase a fake mouse, or enjoy a scratching post. You can even y hide and seek with Mango and the rest.¡±

    ¡°That is not helping. You¡¯ve painted for me a life that I would detest. It would be a life without meaning. I would never want to wallow in ignorance and stupidity like Mango.¡±

    Zhao Yao pursed his lips. Elizabeth usually seemed indifferent and haughty, as if everything was beneath her. He would never expect that she needed the inte so much.

    His train of thought was suddenly derailed by a quick session of updates in his Book.

    It made him jump to his feet instantly.

    ¡°Everything okay?¡± Shi Yu asked, peering over.

    ¡°It¡¯s fine! Everything¡¯s fine!¡± he replied hysterically.

    He threw his mouse on the table and marched towards Elizabeth.

    Elizabeth¡¯s Loyalty ¨C 10

    Elizabeth¡¯s Loyalty ¨C 10

    Elizabeth¡¯s Loyalty ¨C 10

    ¡°Oh my god!¡± Zhao Yao screamed internally, clutching his head with both hands.

    He felt like he was going insane. Elizabeth¡¯s loyalty was free-falling at an exponential rate. If this kept going, it would be falling into negative levels soon. What would happen then?

    ¡°Jesus, all I did was cut off your inte connection! Did I say something wrong just now? This isplete madness.¡±

    He used the power of illusion to conceal both himself and Elizabeth from the eyes of everyone else in the cafe. To the customers, Elizabeth was still lying on the table while he was still ying his game.

    Elizabeth¡¯s Loyalty ¨C 10

    Elizabeth¡¯s Loyalty ¨C 10

    Zhao Yao scooped Elizabeth into his arms.

    ¡°Alright, alright, I¡¯ll tell you the password right now, okay?¡±

    In the short time that it took for him to walk to her, 50 loyalty points had already been deducted. This made it very clear that Zhao Yao was not as important to her as wifi was.

    ¡°Really?¡± Elizabeth asked, looking up at him with bright eyes, ¡°You¡¯ll let me go online?¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes. The password is ¡®Zhao Yao is the handsomest man in all thend¡¯. Use capital letters for my name.¡±

    Elizabeth¡¯s Loyalty ¨C 1

    ¡°How has my password offended her?!¡± Zhao Yao thought to himself, feeling slightly hurt.

    ¡°My phone! Where is my phone?!¡± Elizabeth asked, looking around frantically.

    The despair and lifelessness that bogged her down had disappeared.

    ¡°Here,¡± Zhao Yao said, passing the phone to her.

    Elizabeth grabbed it instantly and started typing in the wifi password rapidly. When she managed to once again be connected to the inte, Zhao Yao¡¯s Book started experiencing changes again.

    Elizabeth¡¯s Loyalty + 1

    Elizabeth¡¯s Loyalty + 1

    Elizabeth¡¯s Loyalty + 1

    ¡°I guess your real owner is the wifi, not me,¡± Zhao Yao grumbled to himself.

    ¡°Don¡¯t y with your phone when you¡¯re at work, okay? Wait till the cafe closes,¡± he said to Elizabeth.

    ¡°I beg your pardon?¡± Elizabeth red.

    Elizabeth¡¯s Loyalty ¨C 20

    ¡°Oh, fine! Fine, fine fine. You¡¯re the boss here, you do your thing,¡± he said, exasperated.

    This brought a smile to Elizabeth¡¯s face. She clicked on a new episode of Downton Abbey.

    Her loyalty towards Zhao Yao continued to grow as she watched the show, which was a relief.

    ¡°I doubt she¡¯ll work at all today. I¡¯ll just continue to hide her absence with the illusion,¡± Zhao Yao thought to himself as he settled back into his usual seat.

    Elizabeth was gnashing her teeth at the screen as the plot thickened.

    ¡°Oh, am I outraged! O¡¯Brien is a vicious woman who should die the most horrible death! Why is she still alive?!¡±

    Elizabeth¡¯s Loyalty ¨C 1

    ¡°?¡±

    Zhao Yao, who was in the middle of a new match, looked at Elizabeth incredulously.

    ¡°How are O¡¯Brien¡¯s failings my fault? What¡¯s wrong with this loyalty point system? It doesn¡¯t make any sense.¡±

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Sun Meng ambled down an alley, the three ragdoll cats trailing behind her. They were jumping and weaving around each other, seemingly in good spirits.

    Her brows furrowed when she took another look at the map disyed on her phone.

    ¡°Hmm, this cafe is more elusive than I thought. My beloved Lizzie, where on earth could you be?¡± she thought.

    Caesar observed her with interest.

    ¡°Have you noticed yet?¡± he asked hispanions as he licked his nose.

    ¡°Noticed what?¡± Diana responded.

    ¡°That Sun Meng is terrible with directions. She¡¯s lost. We¡¯re never going to be able to find our destination,¡± Catherine replied through gritted teeth.

    ¡°We¡¯ve been walking forever,¡± Caesar added, raising his paws so he could look at the pads beneath them, ¡°My pink and beautiful soles are now ck and sooty. I can¡¯t even bring myself to lick them clean. If we keep going, I¡¯m going to get blisters soon.¡±

    As the ragdoll family continuedmenting their fate, a dozen men dressed in ck suddenly appeared. They swiftly blocked both ends of the narrow alley that they were in, leaving them trapped.

    The groove between Sun Meng¡¯s eyebrows deepened as she stared down the apostle officers standing in their way.

    ¡°That was fast. I guess you found me,¡± she sighed.

    ¡°Sun Meng, I think you¡¯ve had quite enough fun. It¡¯s time to go,¡± one of the officers said.

    ¡°We can¡¯t just bring her back to the station. She has a lot to answer for. She¡¯s wrecked havoc in our city,¡± another officer chimed in, shaking his head.

    The men did not bring her difort or fear. Sun Meng remained perfectlyposed, her face expressionless.

    Quietly, she said, ¡°Zhuangzi never knew if he dreamt he was a butterfly or if he was a butterfly dreaming of being a man. You know this story. It¡¯s impossible to tell dreams and reality apart. So how can you believe things you¡¯ve never seen or heard for yourselves to be real?¡±

    These words instantly heightened the tension in the alley. A tinge of fear could be seen on the faces of the apostle officers, but they rushed towards the girl, shouting, ¡°Fire!¡±

    The men closed in on Sun Meng and the ragdoll cats, each firing his tranquilizer gun at them.

    *

    Mere minutester, Sun Meng emerged from the narrow alley. She was again studying her phone carefully, an inscrutable expression on her face. The three cats followed after her.

    It was as if the officers never cornered them at all.

    Their path, however, was once again blocked, this time by a middle-aged woman. She chuckled as Sun Meng slowed down.

    ¡°You¡¯re good, aren¡¯t you? Really good. Those apostle officers are weaklings, but to fight and win them by yourself is quite the feat. No wonder the authorities are so keen to catch you,¡± she said.

    Sun Meng did not respond. Instead, she narrowed her eyes. This seemed to remove all expressions from the woman¡¯s face. Her face grew ck and her body limp. She had been forced into a dream state.

    ¡°Idiot,¡± Sun Meng muttered, ¡°Caesar, erase her memory.¡±

    Caesar slunk forward, then leaped gracefully across the woman¡¯s shoulder. When his paw touched her head, her memory of what happened in thest 24 hours was gone.

    This was how Sun Meng always defeated her opponents. This was how the three cats¡¯ powers worked together.

    Catherine, the mother, was able to put people to sleep with one look. This power had a wide reach, but it only induced light sleep in its victims. They would wake up with the smallest of stirs.

    This is where Catherine¡¯s daughter, Diana¡¯s, powers came in handy. Like Catherine, she could also unleash her powers just by looking at the subject. Her ability was to drag her victims into a deep dream state. She could even keep them there forever if she wanted to, leaving them in a permanent vegetative state. This was the fate that befell every person they met in the cat cafes they have been to.

    As for Caesar, the father, his power was to destroy memories when he touched a person¡¯s head. He could only erase memories from up to 24 hours ago. Anything beyond that was safe from his reach.

    The individual powers held by each member of the ragdoll family were impressive on their own. Used together, their impact was nothing short of devastating.

    Sun Meng knew this. She also knew that it was crucial for her to keep Caesar¡¯s and Catherine¡¯s powers a secret from the authorities. She only used them when she was confident that she could leave no trace behind, like now. Without surveince cameras and with Caesar¡¯s power to wipe memories, she would leave no evidence of the true depth of her powers.

    This three-step method was how she had been confounding the police. Every officer thatid eyes on her would be put to sleep, then pulled into a deep dream state, before having their memories erased. It created mass confusion. No one could remember how she evaded capture. Worse, nobody could figure out her abilities.

    ¡°But it¡¯s still not enough,¡± Sun Meng thought to herself, ¡°Catherine, Caesar, and Diana are powerful together, but there¡¯s still a missing link.¡±

    ¡°With Elizabeth¡¯s illusions, I would be able to blur the line that separates dreams from reality. They would never know what hit them. That would be true perfection.¡±

    This was Sun Meng¡¯s end goal.

    She had risked capture to find Elizabeth. She did not even care if the truth behind Catherine¡¯s and Caesar¡¯s powers was revealed during her search. She needed her. She was the missing piece of the puzzle.

    She continued winding down the street, her head swimming, when yet another man appeared to stop her in her tracks.

    He chortled, ¡°Ah, I wonder what your powers are. Is it hypnosis? Creating vertigo? Inducing aa? Whatever it is, you¡¯re quite something.¡±

    Sun Meng¡¯s narrowed her brows again before pulling the same performance on the man, knocking him out in an instant.

    This time she charged down thene, hoping to get out of her as quickly as possible. There was something weird happening here.

    Unfortunately, as she made a turn, another obstacle stood in her way. This time, it took the form of a seven year old child who was licking at a lollipop.

    ¡°There¡¯s no point running, you know. You¡¯re not the only person with powers. Just look at me,¡± the child said, chuckling in the same way her previous victims did.

    ¡°And what exactly am I looking at?¡± Sun Meng retorted, brows furrowed again.

    She was, however, a tad unsettled. Whoever she was speaking to seemed to be able to possess other people or control their bodies.

    The kid smiled, ¡°I don¡¯t mean any harm. I¡¯m actually here to invite you to join us.¡±

    ¡°Join you? Who are you?¡±

    ¡°The arrival of the supercats have created superpowers that once belonged only to our imaginations. Of course, some powers are better than others. Most of them are useless and unable to right this corrupt world. Apostles who own these substandard powers have no choice but be controlled by the authorities,¡± the child exined.

    ¡°But then, there are apostles like you, who have the power to make a real difference. Why should you bow down and live like any ordinary person?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not interested in working with anyone who¡¯s too afraid to show his face,¡± Sun Meng retorted coolly.

    The child¡¯s response surprised her.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll take you to see the real me. How about that?¡±

    She stared at him.

    ¡°Count me intrigued.¡±

    The child led Sun Meng deep into the suburbs before finally entering an apartment block one hourter.

    Three apostles were sat around the living room.

    One of the men stood up when he saw Sun Meng. He felt like the leader of the group even though he looked remarkably ordinary. It felt a little out of ce, like having a bit-part actor y the leading role in a movie.

    ¡°Wee!¡± he said warmly, ¡°This is the best decision you¡¯ll ever make, I promise.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 180: Devotion and God</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    A few dayster, Zhao Yao remained seated at his usual spot in the caf¨¦.

    In the far corner of the caf¨¦, Matcha was using his remaining inte time before the caf¨¦ opened for business.

    With his nimble paws, he quickly tapped on the WeChat application and essed Princess Qian¡¯s contact. He stared at her profile picture solemnly and thought, ¡°I guess I can never forget about this rtionship. If devotion is a crime, I guess that just makes me a faithful criminal.¡±

    Roly Poly was behind Matcha as he scrutinized his every action with a look of disdain, ¡°He¡¯s just a dumb cat that thinks using his lower body and not his head.¡± He looked on with anguish as he saw Princess Qian¡¯s newly posted selfie on WeChat, hemented, ¡°If not for this devil who broke us up, I would have been in that photo with her.¡±

    Finally, Zhao Yao stood on his feet and started stretching his body. He thought, ¡°Hmph, another week had gone by already. It¡¯s time for me to train the five supercats again.¡±

    With this thought at the back of his head, Zhao Yao entered the cat toilet and disappeared into his extradimensional belly with a swirl.

    ...

    Inside the belly, Gaia was still restrained by the ropes and its mouth was sealed with duct tape. It was lying on the floor like the salted fish in the markets.

    However, this did not stop it frommunicating with the rest. By using its consciousness, Gaia¡¯s voice erupted in the remaining supercats¡¯ head, ¡°It wasn¡¯t me! I didn¡¯t even make myst wish! Who gave you the rights to tie me up and seal my mouth? I want to eat! I want to watch Attack on Titans! I don¡¯t want to miss thest episode!¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t care if you are responsible for the incident or not, but God would appear anytime soon, and I want you to keep your mouth shut!¡± Ares demanded as its face turned crimson.

    Suddenly, Ares realized that its vision was enveloped in darkness before it opened its eyes and noticed that it was inside a carriage of a train. It had no idea what had happened.

    ¡°Not bad, you are the first cat to wake up among all of them. You have potential,¡± A ck cat sniggered as it waved the pistol in its paws. From the looks of it, the ck cat was a police cat.

    ¡°Who are you? Where am I at?¡± Ares was bewildered by its own predicament, ¡°And why is a cat like you wearing human clothes? You are totally different from the rest of us!¡±

    At this moment, the four remaining supercats cat had also started waking up.

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°Is this our new mission?¡±

    ¡°Is it the same as the previous one?¡±

    ¡°Is this ck cat our enemy?¡±

    ¡°Stop looking around!¡± The ck police cat pointed to its head and exined, ¡°He must have imnted the memories in all your heads. Try to recall and understand what¡¯s going on.¡±

    A minute of silence passed ...

    Ares retorted, ¡°He didn¡¯t imnt any sorts of memories in our head! I can¡¯t recall anything at all!¡±

    ¡°This world that you are currently in is the God¡¯s Realm. If you wish to survive, you have toplete the missions that God have assigned you. This is neither a game nor a joke. Everything is real in this world. If you want to live, you have toplete the missions ...¡±

    ¡°In the end, you still have to exin everything to us! There were no memories imnted into our head!¡± Ares shouted as a vein popped across its neck.

    Lucifer was carefully analyzing the entire situation, ¡°This is a new setting that God had created for us. It should be simr to our next mission. We will be able to return once weplete this mission.¡±

    F¨±jin nodded its head in agreement, ¡°Hmph, we should talk to this ck cat and get a better understanding of our mission. God definitely has his reason for bringing us here.¡±

    The British Shorthair, Rakshasa, nodded its head in unison, ¡°Maybe the objective of our mission would allow us to defeat our enemy and bring us back!¡±

    Just when all the cats were engaging via their consciousness, a loud noise erupted.

    Ha!

    Gaia had pounced on the ck cat and mmed it against the ground. It sat on the ck cat¡¯s belly andnded an avnche of ps against the ck cat¡¯s head.

    ¡°God¡¯s Realm?!¡±

    ¡°Complete a mission?!¡±

    ¡°I think you are the enemy for our mission, and I will beat you to a bloody pulp and destroy you!¡±

    The four remaining supercats stared in shock. Terror overtook their faces as they witnessed the scene unfold right before their eyes. When they finally reacted to what had happened, they immediately dashed forward and pulled Gaia away from the ck cat.

    ¡°Let me go! I¡¯m going to destroy this ck cat! I¡¯m going toplete the mission!¡±

    Ares did not dare to make eye contact with the ck cat and awkwardly mumbled a few words with its head lowered, ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, but there¡¯s something wrong with this cat.¡± As Ares spoke, it bent down and retrieved the police cap lying on the floor and returned it to the ck cat.

    ¡°Thankfully, you¡¯re not injured.¡±

    ¡°Obviously I¡¯m not injured! I am the most senior cat in the entire God¡¯s Realm!¡± The ck police cat wiped the blood off of its mouth and continued, ¡°If I didn¡¯t give this insolent cat a chance, I would have sted him into pieces when he came charging towards me!¡± The ck cat said as it spun the pistol in its paws.

    ¡°Yes, yes! We are so thankful for your benevolence!¡±

    The ck cat raised its brows and started touching its nose, ¡°Why do I feel that there¡¯s something wrong with my face?¡±

    Ares stared at its slightly deformed face and shook its head awkwardly, ¡°Nothing! There¡¯s nothing wrong with your face! You look as good as new! There is no problem with your face at all!¡±

    ¡°Alright neers, there¡¯s no time for us to waste on all these squabbles. Get ready to alight soon; I heard that this mission is particrly difficult.¡±

    Ares could not help but start sniggering when the ck cat turned its body around.

    One giant word was printed on the ck police cat¡¯s back, Enemy.

    ¡°This is awkward!¡±

    Ares raised its paws and gave it a slight shake. Immediately, ws as sharp as knives emerged. A vicious aura emanated from Ares¡¯s body.

    At the next moment, the five supercats had huddled together andunched a barrage of attacks on the ck police cat. They finally heaved a sigh of relief when they saw its body slowly dissipate into a stream of white light.

    ¡°Hey, I only attacked that cat because I saw the word on its back!¡± Gaia retorted, ¡°Why did the four of you stop me? Are you guys blind?¡±

    The remaining cats just stared at each other helplessly. Somehow, they felt that this was a token mission with no actual purpose behind it.

    The same thing happened again. Their vision was enveloped in darkness. Before they knew it, they were transported back to the container, and Zhao Yao¡¯s voice erupted in the space.

    ¡°You guys did a brilliant job! After the turmoil that you experience and the numerous obstacles that you overcame, you finally defeated your powerful opponent and had emerged before me.¡±

    ¡°Powerful my ass!¡± Ares was left speechless by Zhao Yao¡¯s gibberish, ¡°How is this difficult at all? We haven¡¯t even been out for a full minute. Are you doing this just for the sake of creating a weekly mission?¡±

    Lucifer circled the container andmented, ¡°The size of the carriage was roughly the same size as the container.¡±

    Zhao Yao tried to disrupt their train of thoughts by his cough. Then, he immediately gave them arge bag of cat food and numerous freshly charged power banks. He dered, ¡°This is your reward!¡±

    Gaia looked on with contempt and asked, ¡°Why is it XXXX brand again? I¡¯m a little sick of this brand. God, can I ...¡±

    Wada!

    Bam!

    Following the thunderous explosion, Gaia had been thrown into the air and spun 360¡ã before colliding against the steel wall of the container. The collision brought about a loud nk.

    Ares slowly rested its paws back on the floor. The air particles were still somewhat distorted because of the remnants from Ares¡¯s barrier which it used against Gaia.

    Ares nced at Gaia and saw it lying on the floor with both eyes rolled backward. It was even foaming at its mouth.

    Ares nodded its head andmented, ¡°Very good. We are now safe. We can carefully discuss and ask for a proper wish.¡±

    Lucifer walked towards Gaia and started sniffing its body. Lucifer hesitated before asking, ¡°Is Gaia going to die?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no way that Gaia is going to die,¡± Ares replied nonchntly, ¡°We are cats, and we can even recover from a spinal injury.¡±

    ¡°Now, it¡¯s finally time for me to make my wish.¡±

 Chapter 181: The Wish and Their Leader

    <h4>Chapter 181: The Wish and Their Leader</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    ¡°Do not worry, let me think of something.¡± Ares and the three other supercars began brainstorming on the best wish to ask for.

    An idea shed across Ares¡¯s head, and it suggested, ¡°Let us make a wish which will give us lots of money.¡±

    ¡°The God had mentioned before that we are not allowed to leave this dimension. If we can¡¯t leave this ce, we should ask for something that allows us to stay connected to the outside world,¡± Lucifer suggested.

    The ck American Shorthair that had remained quiet for most of the time opened its mouth and uttered a single word, ¡°Inte.¡±

    Suddenly, Ares¡¯s eyes glimmered with hope and its mouth curved into a smile, ¡°Not bad! The inte would serve as our window into the outside world and allow us to know what is happening. We can use it to contact the outside world or maybe even Ho Hao Cang!¡±

    At this moment, the Siamese cat opened its mouth and rapidly tapped against Ares¡¯s neck, ¡°Big brother ...¡±

    ¡°What are you doing? Can¡¯t you see we¡¯re in the middle of a serious discussion?¡±

    ¡°But ... But the cat food has transformed!¡± The Siamese cat struggled to get the words out.

    The other supercats promptly turned their heads around and discovered the original XXXX brand cat food had turned into OOOO brand cat food.

    ¡°D*mn it!¡± Ares shouted as its face flushed with anger, ¡°Didn¡¯t I already stop Gaia from making that wish? Gaia did not evenplete its statement. Why did they change our cat food?¡±

    A magical and powerful aura descended into their atmosphere, ¡°Please, I am God. I¡¯ve already understood its wish when it uttered the first word.¡±

    ¡°What the hell!¡± Ares¡¯s face scrunched up in anger and retorted, ¡°Does this mean that you have the final say in everything in this world?¡±

    ¡°Yes! You are a pretty smart cat to have realized that.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s condescending voice once again rang in their dimension, ¡°As God, I can do whatever I like.¡±

    ¡°Ahh!!!!¡± Ares burst with anger when it heard those impudent words. It began growling, and its canine teeth emerged from the corner of its lips.

    Seeing that things were about to get out of hand, Lucifer and F¨±jin immediately went up to coax Ares.

    ¡°Ares, don¡¯t be rash and do anything stupid!¡±

    ¡°Big brother, you have to control yourself. He is God!¡±

    ¡°Why do I have to control my anger? That¡¯s not how a cat behaves! That¡¯s how a stupid cat ve acts!¡± Ares reached out its paws, and knife-like ws immediately emerged from it. ¡°I am going to destroy you right now and then ...¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Suddenly, Zhao Yao¡¯s voice sounded in their dimension. The darkness which shrouded their surrounding was lifted, and a moon-sized eye appeared in the sky.

    ¡°Ares, no!¡±

    ¡°Big brother!¡±

    They were taken aback by Ares¡¯s sudden rampage and wanted to stop it from attacking God.

    When they dashed forward to stop Ares, they realized Ares had diverted from its original track. Instead of going straight for the wall, it turned around swiftly and bolted towards Gaia.

    ¡°I am going to tear you apart!¡± Ares nimbly pounced on Gaia¡¯s body and started whacking its head. Ares followed it up by tearing off all of Gaia¡¯s fur.

    ¡°Why did you to ask for a wish without consulting us?¡±

    ¡°Why do you always spout so much nonsense?¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao then took his leave from the extradimensional belly. With a swirl of wind, Zhao Yao found himself back at the caf¨¦¡¯s cat toilet.

    However, he was weed by a shriek the moment hended there. He turned around and witnessed Dust Ball vomiting feces out of her outstretched mouth. She was visibly shocked by Zhao Yao¡¯s appearance and was a little apprehensive.

    Dust Ball whined, ¡°Can you at least make some sound when you areing out? I thought that you were another cat in the caf¨¦.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry,¡± Zhao Yao scratched his head as he looked at this extraordinary scene of a cat vomiting feces out of her mouth andmented, ¡°Thank you for getting rid of the ¡®stuff¡¯ inside your belly.¡±

    Zhao Yao returned to his usual seat after settling his business inside the belly. As usual, he was aimlessly surfing the, but a giant smile suddenly stered on his face.

    F¨±jin had epted your leadership, and you have earned 200 experience points for it.

    ¡°Haha, I guess thest stunt did the trick!¡± Zhao Yao understood that the final illusion that he cast had frightened the cat, which forced it to submit to Zhao Yao¡¯s leadership.

    Zhao Yao rested his head on the table because of his throbbing headache. Actually, Zhao Yao had nned for a more borate and detailed mission for the cats. However, the illusion once again took their toll on him. Hence, he had to cut short the task after a short while.

    With the Siamese cat¡¯s submission, the 200 experience points earned had ballooned to 400 with the effects of ¡°X2 Exp Card¡±. Now, his BOOK read lv3(758/2000).

    Zhao Yao flipped through a few pages and looked through the experience points for his three cats.

    Matcha: Lv4 (970/2000)

    Elizabeth: Lv4 (210/2000)

    Dust Ball: Lv5 (100/5000)

    ¡°At this rate, I would be able to upgrade the cats once I receive my monthly mission¡¯s experience bonus!¡±

    While still immersed in his daydreams, he shut his BOOK and fixed his attention back to hisputer which marked the start of a new day. Customers began streaming into the caf¨¦ as lunch hour quickly approached.

    However, Zhao Yao received a group of unexpected customers in the afternoon.

    He noticed a strange presence and lifted his head to see who was at the door. It was a group of men d in ck suits. There were 7 or 8 of them. As usual, they paused after taking a step into the caf¨¦, and their eyes began surveying their surroundings.

    The leader of the group walked towards Zhao Yao and carefully scrutinized his face. He whipped out his phone and stared at the screen. Then, he asked, ¡°Are you Zhao Yao? Are you the owner of the caf¨¦?¡±

    Zhao Yao replied politely, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s me. What brings you here today?¡±

    ¡°Our leader ising over here today. We will be in charge of your caf¨¦¡¯s security temporarily.¡± The man reported coolly. His voice was devoid of emotions. However, Zhao Yao could sense that there was no room for argument against this man.

    ¡°You can ask your customers to take their leave. We have arranged for a group of people who will pretend to be customers in your caf¨¦.¡±

    However, Zhao Yao was bbergasted by this man¡¯s nonsensical request after barging into his caf¨¦ and retorted, ¡°Who are you?¡±

    The man¡¯s forehead furrowed slightly, and he retrieved his ID from his breast pocket and started waving it in front of Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes. There was information about his agency and department. However, Zhao Yao still had no idea who he was even though his credentials seemed somewhat legitimate.

    The man noticed the confusion on Zhao Yao¡¯s face and replied, ¡°You just have to follow my instructions. I¡¯m telling you that the personing over here is an extremely high-ranking official; please do not make things difficult for us.¡± The man d in suit only said that to scare Zhao Yao. From his experience, ordinary citizens wouldply obediently when they heard these words.

    He then pped his hands and announced, ¡°I apologize but the shop has brought forward the closing time, and I would need all of you to cooperate for us to do our job.¡±

    ¡°Xiao Jiang, Xiao Yang, find a way to keep all these cats away from our chief.¡±

    The remaining men behaved just like their leader. They had no expressions on their face and exuded a fearsome aura. They acted ording to the instructions and began chasing the customers and got rid of the cats.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s lips drew into a snarl when he witnessed this scene. The customers in the caf¨¦ would have a direct impact on his monthly mission which ultimately affected his experience points earned. He would never allow someone to jeopardize his experience points earned.

    Zhao Yao stared at the man in ck, and a devilish aura emanated from his body. A red glimmer shed across his eyes, and he said coolly, ¡°Hey, I¡¯m giving you one chance. Stop now or I¡¯ll make you stop myself.¡±

    The man in ck did not pay much attention to Zhao Yao¡¯s words and responded with a proud smile.

    The man Zhao Yao spoke to was the ace soldier during his time serving on the front line. Hisbat, reconnaissance, defensive, and assault abilities had far surpassed any ordinary humans.

    After being selected as a member of the government¡¯s apostles, he had gone through a rigorous training which seamlesslybined his innatebat power and abilities. He was the ¡°Captain America¡± of China.

    Usually, he would not give a damn about a regr apostle like Zhao Yao. To him, an amateur like Zhao Yao could not a hold a candle to himself.

    All of a sudden, Baiquan found himself standing in front of the group of men in ck. The customers in the caf¨¦ also noticed that something was amiss as they stared at one another and broke into chatters.

    The ordinary cats in the caf¨¦ also realized that these men did note in peace. With their tails between their legs, they hurriedly went to a corner to hide.

    To the men in ck, the entire scene was even more nerve-wracking. Under the effects of Zhao Yao¡¯s illusion, Zhao Yao¡¯s body was enveloped in clouds of ck gas. The viciousness flowing out of Zhao Yao¡¯s body was incontrovertible. They thought that their bodies could be hacked into half at any time.

    Fear crossed all of their faces, and they stared intently at Zhao Yao, anticipating his next move.

    The leader of the group remained unfazed and fixed his eyes on Zhao Yao. He spoke at a volume that could only be heard between the two of them, ¡°Zhao Yao. 24 years old. Used to be a programmer but received his superpower half a year ago. He used his abilities to earn over RMB tens of millions and opened this cafe.¡±

    The leader chuckled when he saw the shocked expression on Zhao Yao¡¯s face, ¡°Do you think that we have no idea who you are? If not for your healing abilities, we would never havee here. But don¡¯t get too cocky. These powers belong to your cat and not you. If not for Inspector Ho¡¯s protection, the cats here would already have been taken away from you.¡±

    After hearing his words, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes squinted into a line and replied, ¡°I can pretend that I did not hear a word that you said.¡±

    As he spoke, he had already instructed Matcha and Elizabeth via their consciousness, ¡°Matcha, start now. Elizabeth, control the caf¨¦.¡±

    In a split second, a hardly discernible ck line shed across their eyes. This was apanied by Dust Ball¡¯s ability and all their clothes had been absorbed into the extradimensional belly.

    Because of the illusion, the customers witnessed this group of men starting to undress right before their eyes.

    Suddenly, the leader amongst them felt a gust of wind blowing against his skin. He lowered his head to realize that his jacket, shirt, pants and even underwear had disappeared.

    Ahhh! A women¡¯s scream punctured the air in the caf¨¦.

    The men in ck flushed with embarrassment as they tried their best to cover their genitals. They had no idea what to do.

    The leader stared daggers at Zhao Yao and demanded, ¡°What did you do to us? Return us our clothes!¡±

    ¡°Hey, you are the pervert. You are the one who undressed in public. Do not push the me on me.¡± While Zhao Yao spoke, he had retrieved the phone from his pocket. He sneered, ¡°Tsk, I didn¡¯t expect such a small package for a man so muscr and tall.¡±

    The leader amongst them retorted, ¡°It¡¯s because of the cold weather! Don¡¯t you understand the concept of thermal expansion?¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°I was referring to the size of your feet. What were you thinking about?¡¯

    A muscle in his jaw twitched as he began hopping towards Zhao Yao with both his hands covering his essential areas, ¡°Why did you take out your phone? Put your phone back!¡± His body temperate rose as anger raged within him.

    His face turned even more scarlet when he heard the sounds of camera snapping and the lights from the cameras¡¯ sh.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to have perverts inside my caf¨¦. I must take a photo to record it!¡±

    With one hand strategically ced on his groin, the leader tried to snatch the phone away from Zhao Yao using his other hand. However, Zhao Yao managed to evade it easily.

    ¡°Nah, I don¡¯t think you can defeat me like this.¡± Zhao Yaofortably evaded all his attacks and eximed, ¡°Use both your hands! You must protect your face with both hands during a fight! Why are you using one hand to cover your groin?¡±

    Zhao Yao froze time as he spoke.

    When time resumed, a loud noise erupted from the man in ck¡¯s body, and he flew into the ceiling and crashed against the roof of the building.

    ¡°Say cheese!¡±

    The camera light shed as Zhao Yao took a picture of it.

    The leader dropped to the ground and bolted towards Zhao Yao with his bloodshot eyes, ¡°I¡¯m going to kill you!¡±

    ¡°You should use both your hands then! A powerful individual has a willpower that is as tough as steel. You should be able to tolerate any sorts of humiliation or insult. You should be able to fight while standing naked in front of a group of customers! I didn¡¯t even make you wear a skirt or turn you into a gay! How can you be the strongest if you cannot even tolerate this humiliation?¡±

    With the power of ¡°Two is better than one¡±, Zhao Yao spared no effort in dodging all his attacks.

    A myriad of thoughts shed across his head and all of them culminated into the most potent vocabry in the Englishnguage which epitomized his feelings then.

    ¡°F*ck!¡±

    His teammates warned him, ¡°Captain, I think we should leave now!¡±

    ¡°The security ising for us!¡±

    The leader retorted, ¡°Why should we be afraid of the security?¡±

    ¡°Captain, if we enter the police station naked, our reputation will go down the drain!¡±

    ¡°There are even people taking photos of us!¡±

    Camera¡¯s shes flooded the caf¨¦. Zhao Yao was not the only one taking a photo; the customers were also doing the same thing.

    ¡°Why are all of you taking photos? Are you crazy?¡± A tinge of indignance shed across the leader¡¯s face, and his body started releasing gushes of heat wave from his skin. Hemanded, ¡°Cover your face and prevent them from taking photos of our face!¡±

    The majority of the girls turned their heads away out of embarrassment. However, some customers looked on with excitement.

    ¡°Have I entered the wrong ce?¡± A smile appeared on the middle-aged man¡¯s confused face as hemented, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that this is a gay bar? This is scary!¡±

    A middle-aged woman jumped for joy and eximed, ¡°Look at his gigantic muscles!¡±

    Another middle-ageddy shook her head when she nced at their leader, ¡°A pity that his package isn¡¯t as big as his muscles.¡±

    With their hands covering their faces, the group of men in ck scurried out of the caf¨¦, ¡°Zhao Yao! I will have my revenge!¡±

    The man with the mysterious smile on his face licked the corner of his lips and went chasing after the group of naked men.

    Dust Ball excitedly gazed towards the direction that the group of men had escaped in. She switched her attention to the remaining customers in the caf¨¦ and asked enthusiastically, ¡°Zhao Yao, should I absorb the customers¡¯ clothes too?¡±

    ¡°Absorb your ass!¡± Zhao Yao reprimanded, ¡°You are not allowed to use this ability without my permission!¡± Zhao Yao nced at the door and noticed the bloke who went after them returning in low spirits. Evidently, he did not catch up to them.

    Zhao Yao remarked warily, ¡°You can never judge a book by its cover. There are some interesting figures among my customers.¡±

    The furor in the caf¨¦ subsided quickly. Ten minutester, Inspector Ho and a senior man with snow white hair ambled towards the cat caf¨¦.

    The old man seemed somewhat scrawny. However, he appeared extremely alert to his surroundings.

    Before entering the caf¨¦, his expression seemed rather gloomy. However, the corner of his lips quirked up the moment he came.

    He nced at Inspector Ho andmented, ¡°Good job, Ah Ho. This is exactly as you described. I feel sofortable and at ease. I have never felt like this since I contracted high blood pressure, and my many heart and liver ailments.¡±

    Inspector Houghed and answered, ¡°That¡¯s good.¡±

    Zhao Yao walked towards the both of them and questioned Inspector Ho, ¡°What are you doing? What happened?¡± From the looks of it, Zhao Yao had deduced this senior man as the chief which the group of men in ck had referred to.

    This old man seemed familiar, but Zhao Yao could not point his fingers to where he had met him.

    Inspector Ho replied, ¡°This is Old Man Zhuang. He was my superior. Can you behave more respectfully towards him?¡± Inspector Ho turned his head and faced Old Man Zhuang, ¡°This is the youngster that I talked about.¡±

    Old Man Zhuang noticed the confused look on Zhao Yao¡¯s face and chuckled. He said, ¡°I guess you are Zhao Yao. With your eyes, I believe you can see that I¡¯m a really, really old man. I¡¯m gued will all sorts of ailments and illnesses. I heard from Inspector Ho that your abilities might be beneficial for my ailments. Hence I decided to visit your caf¨¦ when I am free. Sorry for my unannounced visit.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes squinted into a line as he handed the menu over to them, ¡°Would you like anything to drink?¡±

    Zhao Yao noticed Inspector Ho¡¯s blink and knew that this old man was not a simple person. Zhao Yao grew extremely curious as to his true identity. Zhao Yao spected that this old man might be one of the five-people in Jiangmen city that knew about Zhao Yao¡¯s identity.

    Zhao Yao guessed that the old man behaved in this manner because he knew and understood all of Zhao Yao¡¯s power

    Just after settling into his seat, the group of men had returned with a fresh set of clothes. However, they did not seem as friendly as the old man.

    The group of men returned to the caf¨¦. This time, they did not don on the same suits and pants. Instead, they wore T-shirts and jeans and looked just like the college students from around the area.

    ¡°Zhao Yao!¡± The leader amongst them gritted his teeth and stared at Zhao Yao in anger.

    At this moment, Old Man Zhuang started clearing his throat to get their attention.

    ¡°Chief!¡± The leader of the men in ck was taken aback by this unusual sight. ording to their n, their chief was only supposed to be here one hour after they had evacuated everyone out of the caf¨¦.

    ¡°Ah Wei, what are you wearing?¡± Old Man Zhuang stared at him from head to toe with a look of disdain. He asked, ¡°Did you guyse out here for a shopping spree?¡±

    The man who Old Man Zhuang addressed as Ah Wei turned crimson when he heard Old Man Zhuang¡¯s remarks. However, his lips remained sealed. He could never bring himself to describe what had happened in the caf¨¦. He simply whispered, ¡°Chief, the security in this caf¨¦ is not adequate. Please allow us to cordon off the area to ensure your safety.¡±

    Zhao Yao, who was busy behind the bar counter, sniggered, ¡°You can¡¯t even protect your precious family heirloom. How do you intend to protect others?¡± Ah Wei heard Zhao Yao¡¯s snide remarks and replied with a death stare.

    ¡°Why do you need to cordon off the entire area? I told you I came here for a leisure stroll. Who told you to make such arrangements for me? I am just an ordinary retiree; please do not treat me as if I¡¯m some important person. Furthermore, Xiao Li and his team are all outside waiting for me. That is sufficient security.¡± Old Man Zhuang raised his brows and instructed, ¡°Alright, since you¡¯ve already here,e and order a drink and stop disrupting his business.¡±

    Zhao Yao burst intoughter and said, ¡°Baiquan, why are you still standing there. Quickly get some menus for our beloved customers.¡±

    Ah Wei relented, albeit unwillingly, and gave in to Old Man Zhuang¡¯s orders.

    Ah Wei raised his hands and gestured to his subordinates. Upon receiving this instruction, his subordinates instantly dispersed and sat in Old Man Zhuang¡¯s surroundings. Only Ah Wei remained glued to Old Man Zhuang, choosing a seat nearest to him.

    Old Man Zhuang shook his head and knew that Ah Wei would not leave him regardless of what he said. Ah Wei would never let Old Man Zhuang out of his sights.

    What happened next was a lot more peaceful than when the group of men first entered the caf¨¦. Even though Ah Wei and his men were extraordinarily cocky and aggressive, Old Man Zhuang himself was an amiable and approachable person. He just sat at the caf¨¦ and enjoyed his cup of coffee. He grinned from ear to ear as he yed with the cats.

    ¡°Ah Ho, this is a nice and charming little ce, I feel like I¡¯m ten years younger already.¡± Old Man Zhuang could not help but revealed the contented smile on his face.

    His entire body was encapsted in the effects of Celestial Beats. There was a tinge of numbness in his organs, blood vessels, and skeleton. However, it was extremelyfortable and soothing. It was like immersing your body in an invisible spa.

    Inspector Ho started chucking when he noticed how satisfied Old Man Zhuang was, ¡°As long as you are happy. I have consulted the doctor. If youe here once or twice every week, it would do wonders for your health.¡±

    Since his previous visit to Zhao Yao¡¯s caf¨¦, Inspector Ho had developed a special interest in the effects of Celestial Beats.

    He had secretly assigned people to investigate and test the effects of Celestial Beats on patients who suffered from diseases such as high blood pressure. After ensuring that there were no side effects, Inspector Ho had been finding an opportunity to get Old Man Zhuang here.

    ¡°Hey, you!¡± Old Man Zhuang started patting Inspector Ho on his shoulders, and a mysterious smile crept onto his face, ¡°I feel extremely energized and good today. Did you arrange any special activities for me after this?¡±

    Old Man Zhuang even took special note to emphasize the word, activities.

    Inspector Ho replied with the same mysterious smile on his face, ¡°Do not worry, boss. Everything has been arranged. I am sure they will all be to your liking.¡±

    Old Man Zhuang¡¯s face was wrapped with a cheeky smile when he heard Inspector Ho¡¯s reply.

    Old Man Zhuang licked the corner of his lips and asked, ¡°What kind of dish are we having today? Do we have braised pork with soy sauce?¡±

    Inspector Ho replied, ¡°I have specially invited a renowned chef from Beijing. I heard that his ancestors were the royal chefs for numerous emperors. Please do not worry.¡±

    When Old Man Zhuang heard Inspector Ho¡¯s words, he could not stop the trickle of saliva that slid down his lips. His hobby in life was to enjoy good food.

    At this moment, Ah Wei interrupted their conversation, ¡°Chief, if you wish to go somewhere else today, I¡¯ll have to report to the higher-ups.¡±

    The smile on Old Man Zhuang¡¯s face vanished instantly. In its ce was a fearsome expression and he uttered, ¡°Ah Wei! I¡¯m just a regr retiree who used to work for the government. Now, I still have a little power in my hands. Do I need to report everything to you and tell you where I am going for dinner?¡±

    Ah Wei was unfazed by his questioning and replied sternly, ¡°This is an instruction from the higher-ups. Given your current condition, you should not be eating ... ¡±

    Old Man Zhuang shook his head and heaved a sigh of despair, ¡°Look at me. When I was young, I was a regr soldier in the People¡¯s Liberation Army. Then, I became a regrmander in the force. I was transferred and became a regr secretary in the government department. In the end, I¡¯m just a regr government official, and I am a regr retiree. Why do I need pairs of eyes staring at me when I¡¯m just having a simple meal?¡±

    ¡°All of you have no respect for me. You are just blindly following instructions and do not know how to weigh the situation on your own ord ...¡±

    Sensing that Old Man Zhuang was veering away from the topic, Ah Wei interrupted helplessly, ¡°Chief, we have no choice as well. These are instructions given by your daughter. Please do not make things difficult for us.¡±

    ¡°Unfilial woman! I have no forms of entertainment. I can neither smoke nor drink. Now, I¡¯m left with my only hobby of appreciating good food, and you¡¯re taking that away from me. Are you still humans?¡± Old Man Zhuang crashed onto the floor afterpleting his statement. He stared nkly at the caf¨¦¡¯s ceiling.

    Ah Wei just stood by his side and stared at him helplessly. He did not have many tricks up his sleeve to handle this old man. He would only resort to his daughter¡¯s name when he acted in this manner.

    Suddenly, Old Man Zhuang was distracted by a Scottish Fold that was prancing across his vision.

    ¡°Hey, Ah Wei, do you see it? There are some words written on the cat¡¯s neck.¡± Old Man Zhuang asked curiously, ¡°Do not hug me? Why is that so? No, I must try hugging this cat.¡±

    He immediately reached out his hands and tried to run his fingers through the fur on Rice Cake¡¯s body.

    Rice Cake was extremely sensitive to her surroundings. She had already detected Old Man Zhuang¡¯s arms when he reached out towards her. She retaliated by turning her head and bit his fingers.

    ¡°Ouch! This is so painful!¡± Old Man Zhuang eximed in pain, ¡°Get this off of me!¡±

    The group of men charged forth as they saw Old Man Zhuang violently shaking his arm in an attempt to rid himself of the cat.

    However, Rice Cake had no intentions to hurt him and loosened her bite the moment she heard him scream.

    The group of men surrounded Old Man Zhuang and looked on with fear, ¡°Chief, are you okay?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m fine, I¡¯m fine.¡± Old Man Zhuang chuckled and started waving his palm, ¡°I¡¯m a trained soldier. Look, there are no scars or bite marks at all.¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately caught up to Rice Cake and sped it tightly in his arms. He shook his head and thought, ¡°I guess the words ¡®Do not touch¡¯ do not deter people from hugging you.¡±

    Other than the words ¡®Do not touch¡¯ printed on her neck, the words ¡®I will bite¡¯ was simrly printed on her back. Rice Cake was not happy with this arrangement, and her eyes burned with anger whenever she made eye contact with someone.

    Matcha, who was at another corner of the caf¨¦, saw this and shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao! I also want a sticker!¡±

    ¡°I ... I ... I also want one,¡± Roly Poly shouted embarrassedly.

    Zhao Yao asked curiously, ¡°What do you want to be written on your sticker?¡±

    Matcha eximed, ¡°I want ¡®Super duper cute¡¯.¡±

    Roly Poly shouted, ¡°I want ¡®Extremely fearsome¡¯.¡±

    Zhao Yao was left speechless by their idiotic requests but still gave in to them as he pasted the stickers with their requested descriptions on their back.

    Elizabeth was secretly observing this scene as a corner of her lips lifted and eximed, ¡°Zhao Yao, I also want a sticker!¡±

    ¡°What words do you want on your sticker?¡±

    Elizabeth replied, ¡°I¡¯m just furry, I¡¯m not fat.¡±

    Meanwhile, Old Man Zhuang was aimlessly staring at the flooring when he noticed Mango curiously looking at him. A smile crept up his face as hemented, ¡°Oh what a cute little kitty! Come straight into grandpa¡¯s arms.¡± He then began pping against his thighs to invite Mango over.

    Usually, cats that were more affectionate would jump right into the humans¡¯ arms when they saw this gesture. That was why Old Man Zhuang tried pping his thighs.

    This trick actually worked on Mango as he leaped onto hisps and buried himself in Old Man Zhuang¡¯s arms.

    ¡°Haha, you are an obedient little cat,¡± Immediately after Old Man Zhuang made thatment, the smile on his face disappeared. He lowered his head and noticed that Mango¡¯s butt was covered in residual feces. Mango started rubbing his butt against Old Man Zhuang¡¯s arms before running away.

    Ah Wei stared in shock as he observed the feces smeared all over Old Man Zhuang¡¯s pants and hurriedly went forward, ¡°Chief! I¡¯ll go get new pants for you right now!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯m perfectly fine¡± Old Man Zhuang replied with an awkward smile stered on his face. ¡°Don¡¯t you forget that I used to be a soldier who toiled in mud and sand? I¡¯m not afraid of this.¡± He then fixed his eyes on Ah Wei and his expression suddenly turned extremely stern. ¡°Pass me the pair of trousers that you are currently wearing?¡±

    Ah Wei was bewildered by Old Man Zhuang¡¯s request.

    Momentster, Ah Wei was seen dashing into the shopping mall in a pair of trousers that was smeared in feces. Onlookers stared at him with a curious expression on their faces. However, Ah Wei was too embarrassed to even raise his head.

    Zhao Yao initially found the group of men in ck a slightly menacing group of people. However, his impression of them changed after interacting with their amiable chief. He then retreated to his seat and focused all his energies on hisputer.

    The effects of Celestial Beats on Old Man Zhuang¡¯s body were extremely stark. With this ¡®full body therapy¡¯, Old Man Zhuang had unknowingly gone to sleep as heid on the couch in the caf¨¦.

    His body had umted numerous toxins and problems from his long-standing career in the military and the government agencies. Various health problems and ailments started surfacing as he grew older.

    However, Celestial Beats provided him a serenity that he had not enjoyed for a long time.

    At the same time, a group of cosyers donning their costumes and colorful wigs began streaming into the caf¨¦.

    This group was the one led by Coco Sun. After their fantastic experience the first time they came, they had turned into frequent customers themselves. This had helped sparked Zhao Yao¡¯s business significantly.

    They needed no exnation from Baiquan or Shi Yu as they proceeded to their usual spots in the caf¨¦. Some were using their phones while others were ying with their favorite cats. Some treated the caf¨¦ as their ideal hangout ce while others treated it as their nap spots.

    The group of men in ck led by Ah Wei noticed the influx of customers and immediately went on guard. They inched towards Old Man Zhuang and effectively formed a human wall to shield him from any possible attacks.

    Old Man Zhuang remained fast asleep despite the racket caused by the influx of customers. There were no signs of him waking anytime soon.

    Ah Wei was pleasantly surprised from this scene. Actually, Old Man Zhuang was an extremely light sleeper and had a history of insomnia. This was the first time he saw him sleeping so soundly.

    Old Man Zhuang came over two more times in the subsequent days. He seemed a lot healthier than before as his skin radiated a healthy glow. It also looked like Celestial Beats had helped prevent his condition from worsening. He even thought of inviting his old friends over to the caf¨¦.

    Even though Old Man Zhuang always came with his entourage of men in ck, Zhao Yao still regarded them as regr customers.

    In a building opposite the cafe, Sun Meng was carefully observing the situation using her binocrs. She was hiding behind a tiny ledge and peered out of a toilet¡¯s window on the third floor of the building.

    Her eyes continually swept between Elizabeth and Zhao Yao¡¯s directions. Finally, she fixed her eyes on Ah Wei and Old Man Zhuang.

    She detected an extremely unusual aura from these two men.

    Other than Ah Wei, the remaining men in cks¡¯ movements were unusually stiff and rigid. They definitely were not regr customers of the caf¨¦.

    This was the reason which stopped her from taking Elizabeth back the moment she located the caf¨¦.

    ¡°Elizabeth is just there waiting for us! However, these people seemed like government officials.¡± Sun Meng considered striking now, but she gave up the thought as she did not want to attract any unwanted attention. She was just waiting for them to take their leave.

    Her eyes darted back to Elizabeth, and she whispered, ¡°Almost, I¡¯m almost there, Elizabeth. I¡¯ll be getting you home soon.¡±

    Sun Meng had failed multiple times previously as she infiltrated the wrong caf¨¦s and could not locate Elizabeth. This was because of her weak reconnaissance and intel gathering abilities. Her source of information was too limited.

    She only managed to locate Elizabeth after receiving some help from her ¡®partners¡¯ which she met recently.

    Suddenly, there was a thunderous boom in the toilet. This was followed by a loud flushing sound and a middle-aged man walking out of his cubicle. Sun Meng was taken aback by this scene.

    ¡°Who are you? Why are you in the female toilet? Pervert!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s me!¡± The middle-aged man replied calmly.

    Sun Meng only realized that he was her new found ¡®partner¡¯ after he rified. He seemed to have the ability to possess someone else¡¯s body.

    ¡°You are in no position to ask me to calm down! Even you are not supposed to appear in the female toilet. You are just a disgusting pervert!¡± Sun Meng retorted.

    A tinge of embarrassment shed across the middle-aged man¡¯s eyes as he struggled to reply, ¡°I have no choice. This area only provided male bodies for me to possess. This is why I¡¯m in the girl¡¯s toilet in this form.¡±

    ¡°Why do you have to enter the girl¡¯s toilet?¡± Sun Meng rolled her eyes in annoyance, ¡°Can¡¯t we just talkter?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid that you might act out of impulse. That old man over there is an extremely important person. He is the reason why I came to Jiangmen city. I do not want you to create amotion in the caf¨¦ before Iplete my mission.¡±

    ¡°This old man?¡± Sun Meng was intrigued by this old man¡¯s identity, ¡°Are you going to assassinate or kidnap him?

    ¡°Neither,¡± The middle-aged man gave a lopsided smile and continued, ¡°I want to control him. As long as I have him, no one can stop us in our future missions. I¡¯ve had my eyes on him for a long time. The ce which he originally stayed at had a strong fortification, making it impossible for me to prate it and control him.¡±

    Sun Meng finally understood the situation, ¡°However, now that he is inside this caf¨¦. There are not many defenses that can stop you from controlling him.¡±

    ¡°Yes. ording to my research, the owner of this caf¨¦ is also an apostle. He has some sort of healing power. He had been working in this caf¨¦ since he started co-operating with the government.¡± The middle-aged man startedughing and said, ¡°This old man is a powerful individual. Obviously, he values his life much more than ordinary people like you and me. He is only here to make use of the apostle¡¯s power to improve his health. This is my best chance!¡±

    ¡°Then what are you waiting for?¡± Sun Meng asked as she fixed her eyes on her beloved Elizabeth, ¡°Just act now.¡± Sun Meng could not wait to reunite with Elizabeth.

    The middle-aged man shook his head as he listened to Sun Meng¡¯s words, ¡°We do not have enough people to take him down.¡±

    ¡°Not enough?¡± Sun Meng stared at him with her brows raised, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that his defense in the caf¨¦ is weaker than before?¡±

    ¡°This is aparative term, not an absolute term.¡± The middle-aged man exined slowly, ¡°Look at that corner of the caf¨¦. Then, look at the opposite side. Have you noticed the guy staring at his phone and the other guy staring aimlessly around the caf¨¦? Also, observe the person who has been waiting at the traffic light for the past 10 minutes ...¡±

    Sun Meng was stunned by all these people that she had failed to notice. She finally realized just how extensive his defense was. She had clearly underestimated his power.

    ¡°This is why I said that his defense is weaker only in aparative term. Even if the two of us manage to infiltrate the caf¨¦ undetected and manage to annihte everyone inside it, we still have to deal with his subordinates luring outside the caf¨¦. Within 5 minutes, the police will arrive. In 10 minutes, we will be the most wanted person in town. If need be, the army might even be activated.

    Furthermore, my ability to possess someone else¡¯s body requires a particr set of conditions to seed. It will be meaningless even if we manage to barge into the caf¨¦ and get hold of this old man by creating a hugemotion.

    Also, at least half of his subordinates protecting him are apostles. Given our strength, we would still require at least two to three minutes to eliminate them.¡±

    Sun Meng scratched her chin as she processed all the information flooding into her head. Also, she had to suppress her urge to barge in right now and rescue Elizabeth from Zhao Yao¡¯s clutches. She asked, ¡°So what are you going to do now?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll be getting Nessie and Barbie to help us out. I¡¯ll need some time to gather information on the sentry system and the power of the apostles.¡± The middle-aged man continued with a straight face, ¡°We only have one chance. We need to eliminate all his guards in an instant. Then, I¡¯ll upy the old man¡¯s body, so we cannot afford to screw up.¡±

    ¡°An instant?¡± Shun Meng sniggered, ¡°That seems a little difficult.¡±

    ¡°Hmph,¡± The middle-aged man nodded his head and said, ¡°Actually, I recently found a cat with lots of potentials. From the looks of it, I will not be able to act anytime soon. I must seed.¡±

    ...

    Inside Starry Starry Pet Hospital, a teenager secretly crept into Dr. Liu¡¯s office and went straight to the corner of the room. He reached his hand towards the cage resting against the wall.

    A beautiful white cloth draped over the cage, but there was a menacing grant ringing from within.

    However, the grunt immediately stopped when the teenager began reaching his arm forward.

    ¡°Who are you?!¡±

    A grin crept onto the teenager¡¯s face. However, his body froze when he was about to remove the piece of white cloth. He stared dumbfoundedly at the cage and it seemed like he was processing an influx of information rushing through his head.

    Suddenly, he retreated from the cage and hurriedly dashed out of the office, leaving behind the Pas¡¯s cat¡¯s menacing growls.

    ¡°Don¡¯t leave! Come back! Open the cage!¡±

    ¡°I have a precious family heirloom to show you!¡±

    ...

    Inside the caf¨¦, everyone was oblivious to the impending crisis that was slowly inching towards them.

    After Old Man Zhuang and his entourage left the caf¨¦, Shi Yu secretly came to Zhao Yao¡¯s side and began questioning him.

    ¡°Do you know who that old man is?¡±

    Zhao Yao raised his brow and replied nonchntly, ¡°I guess he¡¯s some high ranking government official, but I¡¯m not sure.¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s not just any high ranking official. He is a super duper high ranking official.¡± Shi Yu immediately whipped out her phone and shed a photo in Zhao Yao¡¯s face. It was an old and grainy photo, but he could recognize it as a screenshot from a news channel.

    ¡°Oh, he has been on TV? No wonder I found him so familiar.¡±

    Shi Yu grew even more flustered when she noticed Zhao Yao¡¯s neutral expression.

    Shi Yu continued, ¡°Don¡¯t you want to climb up these rungs of the socialdder? This guy is an extremely powerful and influential figure. You can be good friends with him by using your healing power. He might even invite his influential friends over in the future. If the results are good, you might be their assistant that would provide this treatment to them once or twice every week!¡±

    However, Zhao Yao remained indifferent to everything that Shi Yu said. If he really craved for money and power, there were so many avenues which he could rely on given the current power that he had.

    The main reason he even bothered opening this cat caf¨¦ was for the experience points from his monthly mission.

    Zhao Yao gave his usual nonchnt reply after hearing Shi Yu¡¯s pitch, ¡°Oh, is that so? Is that what Inspector Ho told you?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve also done my research.¡± Shi Yu said as her eyes burned with concentration, ¡°Do you intend to live off of this cafe for the rest of your life? Shouldn¡¯t you use your superpower to make a fortune now? Isn¡¯t this your opportunity?¡±

    Zhao Yao just uttered a few words to appease her, ¡°Indeed. Indeed. I¡¯ll try my best.¡±

    ¡°Try to be nicer to that bodyguard called Ah Wei. Stop acting as if he owes you millions of dors. Haven¡¯t you heard that powerful leaders always share an intimate rtionship with their bodyguards?¡±

    Zhao Yao answered, ¡°Hmph, yes, I understand.¡±

    Zhao Yao finally heaved a sigh of relief after pacifying Shi Yu with some meaningless words. Deep down, he thought, ¡°This is troublesome. I have no intention of climbing up this arbitrary socialdder. I just want to eat, enjoy and then die. Why are there so many powerful leaders here?¡±

    Suddenly, a shadow appeared from the corner of his eyes and leaped onto hisp.

    It was Matcha. He began rubbing his body against Zhao Yao¡¯s chest and exposed his white belly. He stared at Zhao Yao andmented, ¡°Zhao Yao, you¡¯ve turned so handsome recently.¡±

    ¡°Speak up, what do you want?¡± Zhao Yao answered coolly.

    Matcha immediately went to his feet and ced his front paw on Zhao Yao¡¯s chest, ¡°Zhao Yao. My emotional memories have returned and began flooding my mind once again. Every night when I dream, I dream of Princess Qian. I wake up to a wet pillow every single morning.¡±

    Zhao Yao curled his lips and grunted, ¡°Is it because of your eye booger disturbing your eyes?¡±

    ¡°What am I supposed to do?¡± Matcha cried as he clutched his head and screamed in despair, ¡°This cannot continue. My mind is flooded with images of Princess Qian, and I just can¡¯t seem to forget about her. I can¡¯t eat. I can¡¯t shit. I just want to flood the apartment with urine.¡±

    ¡°I think you are just horny.¡± Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and pped against Matcha¡¯s head, ¡°I¡¯m sure you¡¯re capable of settling your urges. You just have to find an avenue to vent your emotions.¡±

    Matcha wagged his tails in anger, ¡°Zhao Yao, what are you talking about? Do you actually think that my love for Princess Qian is limited to mating? I love her for who she is. It is never about the dirty things in your head.¡±

    ¡°I understand. Your love for her body is an innocent love. You just want to share a physical bond with her.¡± Zhao Yao continued annoyingly, ¡°However, it is useless. I gave you an idea but you cannot persevere.¡±

    ¡°No, I have thought through this carefully. The physical distance between her and me is the reason. A long-distance rtionship is a taboo in any healthy, stable rtionships. There will never be a happy ending. I need to meet Princess Qian and confess my love to her. Our rtionship can only be salvaged if I do that.¡±

    Zhao Yao was indifferent to Matcha¡¯s concerns and sniggered, ¡°Originally all your dirty thoughts were confined to that tiny head of yours. Now, you are going to trante them into action?¡±

    Matcha just pounced onto Zhao Yao¡¯s calf and continually rubbed his head against his legs, ¡°Please, Zhao Yao! I¡¯m going to die if I don¡¯t see her.¡±

    ¡°I think you mean you are going to die if you don¡¯t mate with her.¡± Zhao Yao said helplessly, ¡°Alright, I¡¯lle up with a new idea.¡± He thought, ¡°I can¡¯t keep using my illusions to cover up for him. I need toe up with an idea to distract him and make him work for a few weeks. Hmph, maybe I can even strengthen his fighting spirit and make him work harder when entertaining the customers.¡±

    In Matcha¡¯s eyes, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes were burning with hopes of a brighter future.

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao spoke, ¡°From my twenty odd years of experience, whoever who initiates in a rtionship will be the one on the losing end. Your job is to make yourself more attractive and make her chase you instead.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 186: The Kris Wu of Cats</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    ¡°Improve my attractiveness? How am I supposed to do that?¡± Matcha¡¯s eyes glittered with excitement.

    ¡°Improve ...¡± Zhao Yao stared at Matcha from head to toe, then from toe to head. Hemented, ¡°No, no. You have already reached the pinnacle in terms of your looks. You are the Kris Wu of cats. There is no room for improvement in terms of your appearance.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Matcha stared at Zhao Yao wide-eyed and found it a little hard to believe, ¡°I know that I am handsome, but am I really that handsome?¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡± Zhao Yao began pointing his fingers at the other cats in the caf¨¦, ¡°Look at Roly Poly, then look at Mango ... D*mn it, Mango! Get down now!¡±

    Matcha obeyed Zhao Yao¡¯s instructions and first set his eyes on Roly Poly which was resting on the table by the curtains. His huge belly dropped over and covered his hind legs. It was impossible to see his paws. He was just a gigantic balloon.

    Matcha then turned his neck and fixed his gaze on Mango, which was resting underneath the table. Mango was busy chewing a giant piece of tissue and was dragged out from under the table by Zhao Yao.

    When Mango felt Zhao Yao¡¯s hand clutching his body, he started to bawl and scream incessantly.

    ¡°D*mn it, Mango. Can you stop making so much noise?¡±

    ¡°From the looks of it, I am really the best-looking cat on the surface of Earth.¡± A giant smile appeared on Matcha¡¯s face as he remained immersed in his fantasy daydreams. ¡°D*mn it. There are no female cats in this world worthy of my handsome features. Zhao Yao, you don¡¯t have to persuade me anymore. I realize that Princess Qian does not even deserve me. I will continue to wait for the love that belongs to me.¡±

    Zhao Yao folded his arms as he saw Matcha walked towards the corner of the caf¨¦. Zhao Yao sighed as he lost an opportunity to make use of Matcha.

    ¡°How did this cat get this extreme self-confidence? Why do I find this quite familiar?¡± Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Never mind, this might actually be a good thing. Matcha will no longer be distracted and can focus on his work for the next week or two. I¡¯ll use my idea in the future.¡±

    Soon, it was time to close the caf¨¦. Zhao Yao stood on his feet and began shutting down hisputer. However, Rice Cake was staring at theputer with a pair of longing eyes.

    She stared at Zhao Yao with her puss in boots eyes and pleaded, ¡°Zhao Yao, please y one more round.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not ying anymore.¡±

    ¡°Please y one more round. We will leave the moment you die in the game.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and said, ¡°You said that it was gonna be thest round five rounds ago. Stop bullshitting.¡±

    ¡°Noooo!¡± Rice Cake began rolling her body around the table in protest, ¡°This will really be thest round! I will be satisfied even if you die at the beginning of the game when you jump out of the chopper. Please, one more round! I can¡¯t sleep if you don¡¯t y one more round.¡±

    Zhao Yao paid no attention to Rice Cake¡¯s pleas and just cradled her in his arms and brought the remaining supercats out of the caf¨¦, ¡°Let¡¯s go! All of you get out now!¡±

    ...

    After her tuition lessons, Xiao Yu immediately grabbed her phone and began scrolling through her inbox in WeChat.

    At this moment, a fatso emerged from the crowd of students and went up to her, ¡°Xiao Yu, I just bought a new drone. Do you want toe over to my house and y?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not interested. Furthermore ...¡± Xiao Yu nced at the chubby boy and remarked, ¡°I¡¯m not interested in talking to immature boys like you. Please do not talk to me in the future.¡±

    The chubby boy immediately answered back, ¡°I now receive a monthly pocket money of RMB 500. I¡¯m no longer the kid from kindergarten.¡±

    Xiao Yu was indifferent to his words and replied, ¡°I don¡¯t like people who are fat.¡±

    The chubby boy stood rooted to the ground as Xiao Yu¡¯s words rang in his head. His fragile ss heart had been shattered to pieces by Xiao Yu¡¯s cruel words.

    After verbally abusing her friend, Xiao Yu focused her attention back on her phone, ¡°What¡¯s happening? Why isn¡¯t the silly cat hooked anymore? Is it because I didn¡¯t send enough photos?¡±

    Xiao Yu¡¯s original n was to lure The Strongest Luban by deceiving him with the beautiful cat¡¯s look. From there, she would cheat Matcha of all his money and leave him with nothing.

    She spent a long time creating the perfect female cat that Matcha would fall for. She began stalking various cats on Sina Weibo and even consulted Fish Ball for his views and suggestions. She finally settled on a beautiful ragdoll¡¯s photo.

    The n started brilliantly. However, the silly cat seemed to have grown bored of her over the past few days.

    Xiao Yu opener her WeChat and realized that Matcha did not send a single message to her.

    Her thumbs immediately darted across her phone¡¯s keyboard, as she intended to initiate a conversation with Matcha. However, she suddenly paused in her movements. Her eyes started to shimmer with wisdom.

    ¡°No. In a rtionship between man and woman, whoever sends out the first text will be the loser. I need to maintain my image as an ¡®ice princess¡¯.¡± With this thought at the back of her head, Xiao Yu tapped on her status with her forehead creased together, ¡°I think I have to resort to this photo. I have been stashing this for a long time.¡±

    Soon, Princess Qian posted a photo with a caption on her status. The caption was the lyrics of a famous Mandarin love song. It read, ¡°Finally, I have learned what it means to love and cherish you. However, you have left me and had disappeared into the seas of people.¡±

    This was apanied by a photo of a female ragdoll. The cat was standing on the windowsill as it looked out of the window with a pair of sorrowful eyes.

    Replies came flooding in the moment she posted the photo.

    ...

    Roly Poly and Matcha were squeezed together in the passenger seat of Zhao Yao¡¯s Panamera. Matcha aimlessly scrolled through WeChat as he sighed in despair, ¡°All these cats look so ordinary. Is there no female cat in this world worthy of me? How can any other male cats survive my lonely life?¡±

    Suddenly, he noticed Princess Qian¡¯s photo in the news feed.

    Simrly, Roly Poly was also scrolling through WeChat¡¯s newsfeed. He regrly stopped at Elizabeth, Princess Qian and other female cats¡¯ photos.

    ¡°Oh, Princess Qian is so beautiful. However, Elizabeth is just beside me, and we live in the same apartment. There are also a few other beautiful cats in the group. Who should I choose?¡±

    ¡°Oh, Princess Qian just posted something new?¡±

    Meanwhile, Fish Ball was resting on Xiao Yu¡¯s bed while she was away for tuition. He too noticed Princess Qian¡¯s post.

    The same thought shed through their heads when these three horny male cats saw the lyrics underneath the photo.

    ¡°She must be talking about me!¡±

    Matcha shook his head helplessly, and left a reply, ¡°Princess Qian, I¡¯m sorry. I know that you are a good cat, but we can never be together.¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s face lit up instantly, and his fingers immediately darted across the phone¡¯s screen, ¡°Princess Qian, I did not disappear. I¡¯m always here waiting for you. I¡¯ve fallen in love with you the moment I first saw you. Please marry me.¡±

    However, Princess Qian did not reply Roly Poly after quite a while, Roly Poly could not take it and went back to WeChat. Suddenly, he realized he could not view any of her content on his news feed.

    He resorted to sending her a private message, ¡°Princess Qian, why are you hiding from me. Do not be afraid. I will always be here waiting for you. I love you!¡±

    Just when Roly Poly was about to send his heartfelt message to Princess Qian, he realized that she had deleted him from her friend list.

    Roly Poly simply fell to the ground with a loud thud. His eyes drifted towards the window and he stared at the oing traffic in despair, ¡°Princess Qian, why do you have to be so cruel? How can you be so heartless? How can you do this to me?¡±

    Fish Ball had also typed out his confession and instantly sent it to Princess Qian, ¡°Xiao Yu, I knew that you have always loved me.¡±

    ¡°Are you stupid? Don¡¯t you understand that this ount was created just to trick Matcha? Don¡¯t ever send a text message to me in the future.¡±

    Xiao Yu immediately cklisted Fish Ball and Roly Poly¡¯s contact on WeChat. Her lips quivered with anger when she saw Matcha¡¯sment on her post.

    ¡°Are all these cats crazy?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no chance that you will not fall for this trick! I will make you bankrupt!¡±

    ...

    Nothing out of the ordinary happened in the subsequent days. Business was booming as usual and Zhao Yao was rxing at his corner. However, these all changed one afternoon.

    Unbeknown to all, a ndestine mission with far-reaching implications had been carefully nned out. The target was Zhao Yao¡¯s caf¨¦. This mission was going to affect the entire city and even the country.

    Sun Meng stood on the top floor of the shopping mall and peered out of the window. With the caf¨¦ in sight, she whispered into the microphone, ¡°I¡¯m in position.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± A calm andposed male voice rang from the headset. Sun Meng knew that this voice came from the body that her partner had newly possessed with his parasitical abilities.

    This ability belonged to the person who referred to himself as the God of Death. This power was capable of taking control over someone else¡¯s body like a parasite, but Sun Meng herself was not too clear on the specifics. She even suspected that the body which God of Death imed to his true body was just another one of his parasites.

    If Sun Meng had such a power, she would never reveal her true identity.

    God of Death¡¯s ability might not be as powerful during a face-to-face physicalbat. However, if wielded correctly and efficiently, the potential devastation that it could cause was unimaginable.

    Simply said, God of Death could imnt part of his consciousness into his opponent through a special process.

    From them on, his opponents would listen to every single thing that God of Death¡¯s consciousness had whispered into their heads even though they still retained their original intelligence, strength, and memory. Thismunication through their consciousness was also not limited by the physical distance between them.

    However, this power had its weaknesses as well. Firstly, God of Death was unable to possess an apostle¡¯s body using his parasitical power. Secondly, the process to possess an individual was overlyplicated. Furthermore, the target of this attack would be able to detect it, making it extremely susceptible to getting exposed. If he was unable to do it on the sly, God of Death would have to ovee his target physically before using his power.

    Even with its numerous shorings, this power was still extremely strong. Since joining forces with him, Sun Meng had witnessed multiple individuals that God of Death had managed to possess.

    His targets ranged from regr white-cored executives to blue-cored workers. It also included doctors, bosses of small-medium enterprises and even government officials.

    With this ability, he had umted masses of wealth, power and intel. This had made things extremely convenient for their current mission.

    This time around, God of Death had set his sight on Old Man Zhuang. This was why he coborated with Sun Meng and two other powerful apostles for this mission.

    As long as they were able to restrain Old Man Zhuang¡¯s body and cast his parasitical power on him, God of Death¡¯s group would achieve a breakthrough in his ultimate goal.

    After Sun Meng¡¯s report, a man¡¯s voice rang in the headset as well.

    ¡°I¡¯m also in position.¡±

    In Sun Meng¡¯s head, a simple and honest looking guy appeared when she heard that voice. This voice belonged to the apostle, Nessie.

    Sun Meng could not help but sigh when she recalled his abilities, ¡°Another dangerous apostle.¡±

    Nessie¡¯s supercat gave him the power to turn his body into liquid. This rendered the majority of all physical attacks irrelevant. By liquefying his body, he had managed to infiltrate secret bases with the tightest security.

    His power was unparalleled in terms of face-to-facebat, assassination, kidnap and infiltration.

    This was followed by a strange female voice which rang in the headset, ¡°I¡¯m also ready.¡±

    In Sun Meng¡¯s head, a vision of a blonde-haireddy shed across her head. She was known as Barbie and was a foreign apostle.

    In Sun Meng¡¯s eyes, Barbie¡¯s power was even stranger. Till now, she still could not understand the logic behind Barbie¡¯s ability.

    She had witnessed Barbiemitting suicide, or getting killed by an enemy on multiple asions. However, her body would disappear and she would appear out of nowhere unscathed.

    No matter what, Sun Meng understood that their team of four wielded powers which were without equal. With theirbined powers, she believed that they could even take down the army if needed.

    God of Death¡¯s eyes remained fixed on the caf¨¦. He was just waiting for Old Man Zhuang¡¯s arrival.

    ¡°Nessie¡¯s face-to-facebat is near invincible. Guns, fists and kicks are futile against him.¡±

    ¡°Sun Meng could subdue the majority of his defense in an instant. Furthermore, she could wipe out their memories. By getting rid of their memories for the past half an hour, they would never notice the changes in Old Man Zhuang¡¯s body.¡±

    ¡°Barbie¡¯s immortality is our best defense. I can always use her to help us dy for some time if anything unexpected crops up.¡±

    ¡°Ourbined powers are .... As long as I have Old Man Zhuang under my calling, I will be able to slowly corrode the minds of all influential figures in Jiangmen city. Then, I¡¯ll be the underground king of Jiangmen.¡±

    Two hourster, a ck sedan crept up and parked alongside the caf¨¦. Immediately, God of Death and his team stared at the sight expectantly, getting ready for his appearance.

    However, their brows all rose when they saw the person exiting from the car.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t¡¯ that the guard called Ah Wei?¡±

    ¡°How about Old Man Zhuang? Why didn¡¯t hee today?¡±

    ...

    Inside the caf¨¦, Elizabeth grabbed Mango by his neck and carried him to Zhao Yao.

    Mango simplyy on the floor and pretended dead. He refused to move even after Elizabeth repeatedly kicked against his belly.

    Elizabeth shouted furiously, ¡°Zhao Yao, look at Mango!¡± Elizabeth¡¯s finger was pointed at Mango¡¯s butt, ¡°His entire butt is smeared in shit and he does not even bother to lick it clean. He even smeared his shit all over the toilet and the entire ce is so filthy and smelly because of him! How do you expect me to go to the toilet now? It¡¯s time for you to control this guy!¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at Mango¡¯s butt and replied helplessly, ¡°Are you having diarrhea again? You really should clean your ass after finishing your business.¡±

    Mango secretly stole a nce at Zhao Yao before resuming his pretense at acting dead.

    Elizabethined, ¡°Zhao Yao, can you go and clean up the mess in the toilet? I don¡¯t want to touch any of those things with my long fur.¡±

    Meanwhile, Matcha which was eavesdropping on their conversation chuckled andmented, ¡°Meowhaha, long-furred shit monster! Do you need my help to rip off the fur on your butt?¡±

    Elizabeth growled at Matcha and unleashed the most murderous look that she could muster. With all four of her canines emerging from the side of her lips, she instantly pounced onto Matcha and both of them started running around the caf¨¦.

    At this moment, Ah Wei entered the caf¨¦ and was taken aback by this unusual scene. He then walked towards Zhao Yao and said, ¡°For safety considerations, Old Man Zhuang will not being over to your caf¨¦. However, he desperately requires your treatment for his illness. We really hope that you coulde over and continue with the treatment ...¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not going,¡± Zhao Yao immediately shot down Ah Wei¡¯s suggestion.

    Ah Wei momentarily froze because he never expected someone to reject this suggestion without hesitation.

    Ah Wei took a few deep breaths in an attempt to calm himself, ¡°You might not know who Old Man Zhuang actually is and do not understand the kind of influence he has over Jiangmen city.¡±

    Zhao Yao simply waved his hand and replied, ¡°How does that bother me? Can you just leave? Stop interrupting my game.¡±

    ¡°You!¡± A vein popped out on Ah Wei¡¯s forehead as he gritted his teeth. He knew that most apostles turned extremely cocky and were full of themselves after receiving their power, but he never expected Zhao Yao to behave in such an insolent manner.

    Suddenly, blood began gushing through his blood vessels and his blood turned warmer and warmer. Somehow, this affected the surrounding as the temperature slowly crept upwards. However, he managed to restrain his power before he lost control.

    He surveyed his surroundings and understood that this was not an ideal ce to fight with the numerous civilians in the caf¨¦.

    He nced at Zhao Yao and remarked, ¡°What do I have to do to make you ept this request?¡±

    ¡°You are willing to do anything?¡± Zhao Yao nodded his head and began stroking his chin, ¡°How about you help me clean the cat toilet? You just have to get rid of the shit and pee stain inside.¡±

    ¡°What did you just say?¡± Ah Wei just stared at Zhao Yao in disbelief as he felt his body temperature instantly shot upwards.

    ¡°I told you to clean the toilet.¡± Zhao Yao remained unfazed by Ah Wei. Suddenly, a glimmer of red light shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes and Ah Wei felt an unknown power sweeping through his body. He had lost control of his movements. He then witnessed his own body moving towards the cat toilet¡¯s direction on their own ord.

    ¡°What is happening?¡±

    ¡°Make this stop now!¡±

    ¡°I repeat myself! Make this stop now!¡±

    ¡°D*mn it, what kind of ability is this?¡±

    Ah Wei could only stare at his legs in despair as he walked towards the toilet. Then, his eyes drifted to his hands as he witnessed his hands scrubbing and cleaning the cat litter box on their own will.

    ¡°Can you at least give me a pair of gloves?¡±

    The stench from the cat toilet was unbearable. This was the result of all twenty odd cats using this toilet to settle their business. Not only that, even the five supercats hidden inside Dust Ball¡¯s belly had their waste emptied here.

    The foul smell rushed into Ah Wei¡¯s nose the moment he stepped foot inside. The overwhelming smell almost made him faint instantly.

    Ah Wei¡¯s feelings for the next half an hour could be described as such. First, it was fear. Then, it tranted to disgust. Next, it evolved to despair which ultimately resulted in numbness.

    When he exited the toilet, only one thought shed across his head, ¡°I need to shower! I need to get back right now and shower!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead furrowed together when he noticed Ah Wei¡¯s resigned look on his face. Zhao Yao fanned his body using his hands and said with a look of disdain, ¡°I¡¯ll go over there after work. Is that okay?¡±

    Ah Wei was still dumbfounded by what had happened and simply nodded his head, ¡°I¡¯ll send you the addresster. Bye.¡± Ah Wei could not wait to leave this ridiculous ce. He just wanted to get back home and go straight into the shower. He still had to address the problem of Zhao Yao¡¯s mysterious power.

    In his head, Ah Wei was shouting, ¡°Zhao Yao! I¡¯ll exact my revenge one day! I must also report this mysterious power to the higher-ups.¡±

    However, no one noticed a woman a few meters away from Zhao Yao. On the surface, she seemed like a regr customer enjoying her cup of coffee and cuddling the cats. However, her expression changed immediately when Ah Wei finished his sentence and left the caf¨¦.

    Meanwhile, when God of Death and his group noticed Ah Wei taking his leave in the ck sedan, their foreheads simrly crinkled together. They started at the scene with their eyes all squinted.

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t Old Man Zhuanging over today?¡±

    God of Death replied calmly, ¡°Based on the information I collected using my parasitical body in the caf¨¦, he will not being over today. Instead, Zhao Yao will be going over to him instead.¡±

    ¡°What do we do then?¡±

    ¡°Are we just going to barge in?¡±

    God of Death stared at the ck sedan as it slowly disappeared into the horizon and sniggered, ¡°Follow them.¡±

    Sun Meng was confused by his response, ¡°What¡¯s the point if we stalk them and manage to identify where he lives? For a person of his status, we would be inundated with security personnel and security cameras. It will be impossible to cast your power even if we sessfully infiltrate his residence.¡±

    God of Death turned to Sun Meng and smiled at her, ¡°It¡¯s okay. Since we cannot control Old Man Zhuang, we will simply control his number one subordinate, Ah Wei. Then, we will use him to lead us to where Old Man Zhuang is.¡±

    ¡°You want to cast your power on Ah Wei? Wouldn¡¯t that attract unwanted attraction onto us?¡±

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t have to be asplicated as you imagined¡± God of Death¡¯s eyes swept towards Nessie and continued, ¡°We just have to let Nessie enter his body.¡±

    Nessie¡¯s chilling voice echoed in the room, ¡°Leave this to me. As long as I enter his body in my fluid form, I will have full control over his body.¡±

    Sun Meng red at God of Death and demanded, ¡°How about the caf¨¦? My cat is still inside!¡±

    ¡°Do not alert the enemies of our existence. As long as we have Old Man Zhuang under our control, I¡¯ll let you do whatever you want to the caf¨¦.¡±

    One and a half hourter, God of Death, Sun Meng and Barbie were already sitting in the passenger seats with Ah Wei at the wheel. They were at the entrance to a magnificent courtyard.

    Ah Wei¡¯s entire face was scrunched together and veins popped up all over his body. He was drenched in sweat and his body was shaking incessantly. Some sort of mysterious power had taken control of his body against his will.

    He roared in his head, ¡°D*mn it! Why am I under control again? I just want to go back home and shower!¡±

    The same chilling voice rang in his head, ¡°It is futile, no matter how much you struggle.¡±

    ¡°Stop wasting time on him.¡± God of Death slowly opened his eyes, ¡°The parasites under my control are alsoing over to help us. Act quickly. Sooner orter, his subordinates will discover that something¡¯s wrong.¡±

    Sun Meng pinched her nose and asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t there a foul smelling off of this guy¡¯s body?¡±

    ¡°Tsk,¡± Ah Wei continued driving and brought them into the depths of the courtyard as they bypassedyers of defense.

    At a particr juncture, a beam of light shimmered in Ah Wei¡¯s eyes, and his eyes reflected a red glimmer of light. Suddenly, his body temperature rose rapidly.

    Activate the power of magma blood!

    Ahh!!! A deafening scream shattered the silence in the car following the activation of his power. A stream of fluid was ejected from his mouth and Ah Wei instantly opened the car door and bolted out of it.

    ¡°Enemy attack!¡±

    His power of magma blood had the capability of ejecting Nessie from his body. He had purposely lured them into the depths of their defense before activating his power.

    The guards in their post charged out with their rifles in hand and their guns all pointed towards the vehicle.

    ¡°Hands behind your head!¡±

    ¡°Come out now!¡±

    ¡°You are not allowed to move unless instructed to!¡±

    God of Death shrugged his shoulders helplessly as he observed his surroundings, ¡°We¡¯ve been tricked.¡±

    ¡°What do we do now?¡± The droplets of water had fused together to form a human face. Nessie shouted, ¡°I¡¯m going to destroy that brat!¡±

    ¡°This is a trap! We don¡¯t even know where Old Man Zhuang is. We have to escape. Sun Meng, cover me. Do not think about fighting them heads on.¡±

    Bam! Following God of Death¡¯smand, a deafening st erupted and a stream of fluid spurted out and went straight towards Ah Wei. The impact of the collision sent Ah Wei tumbling to the floor.

    When the fluid collided against Ah Wei¡¯s body, it had vaporized into vapor because of Ah Wei¡¯s extraordinarily high body temperature.

    ¡°AH!¡± A shrilling scream erupted from the water vapor as he shouted, ¡°Are you courting death?¡±

    Bam! Another deafening explosion erupted and countless ss mugs and containers shattered in their surroundings. The water inside them went flying towards Nessie who was in liquid form.

    Ah Wei¡¯s eyes seemed to have burst into mes at this sight. Like magma, the blood in his body was emanating a blinding glow and released a vast amount of heat into the surrounding.`

    Somehow, his body was not burned by this unimaginably high temperature. Instead, it was strengthened by it.

    Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! The puddle of water on the ground and the morning dew resting on the leaves turned into numerous water arrows as they surged towards Ah Wei. However, the water arrows vaporized into thin air due to Ah Wei¡¯s zing body temperature. A huge cloud of vapor enveloped Ah Wei¡¯s body.

    However, some water arrows managed to withstand the extraordinarily high temperature and shed against Ah Wei¡¯s body which resulted in the racket. The intensity of the battle was something neither party expected.

    The armed guards stormed towards the vehicle and surrounded it in their battle formation. All of a sudden, anky female stepped out of the car.

    ¡°Do not move!¡±

    ¡°Do not take another step towards us!¡±

    All the muzzles were pointed directly at Sun Meng¡¯s forehead. She surveyed her surroundings before activating her power. Immediately, all the guards¡¯ visions turned dark as they fell to the ground, unconscious.

    ¡°Move!¡± God of Death and Barbie quickly followed behind Sun Meng. They dared not make eye contact with Sun Meng as they made their way out of the courtyard.

    Whenever the guards craned their neck forward and made eye contact with Sun Meng, they would instantly fall to the ground unconscious. No one could stop them as they continued bypassingyers of defense, towards the exit.

    Suddenly, a guard appeared with a pair of special sses and took an aimed shot at Sun Meng.

    Evidently, the guards had been alerted to Sun Meng¡¯s power and had devised a method to deal with it. With their special sses in hand, they started their counter-attack.

    Seeing this, the blonde-haired Barbie immediately dashed forward and stood in front of Sun Meng. By using her body, she managed to shield all the bullets aimed at Sun Meng¡¯s head.

    Gunshots rained down on Barbie and the prative prowess of the bullets shredded her bulletproof vest into pieces. Without her vest, the remaining bullets tore through her body and instantly turned her body into a lump of shredded meat and blood.

    Sun Meng and God of Death made use of this opportunity to retreat to a corner in order to evade this onught.

    Sun Meng stared at God of Death with her forehead crinkled together, ¡°This is troublesome, they¡¯ve seen through my abilities.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, not all the guards are equipped with those stupid spectacles.¡± God of Death took a nce at his watch andmented, ¡°Just a while more, Barbie should be here anytime soon.¡±

    Five secondster, a blinding beam of light erupted from her body and Barbie reappeared unscathed with two hand grenades in hand. Instantly, she dashed towards the guards.

    With a thunderous boom, more than half the guard force was annihted by the grenade¡¯s explosion.

    Meanwhile, Sun Meng and God of Death continued making their escape out of the courtyard.

    ¡°We have to be fast. The more times Barbie dies, the longer it takes for her to reborn.¡± God of Death grabbed hold of the microphone and eximed, ¡°Nessie, settle it now!¡±

    ¡°I know!¡±

    The jet of water bounced against Ah Wei¡¯s body and made a beeline towards Sun Meng and God of Death¡¯s direction. Ah Wei¡¯s body was still shrouded in white fumes and immediately gave chase to Nessie.

    ¡°Why are you running away? Weren¡¯t you trying to kill me?¡± Ah Wei¡¯s blood began surging through his body and his surface temperate had shot past 400¡ãC. His skin illuminated a red glow as if he were an apple. Each stride covered a distance of five to six meters.

    As Ah Wei leaped passyers andyers of walls, he was suddenly stopped by a giantke in front of his eyes.

    ¡°D*mn it! Who came up with the idea to construct the bloody artificialke here?¡±

    The next moment, a two meters long water dragon emerged from the surface of theke with an astounding explosion.

    ¡°Little worm, what did you try to say just now?¡±

    Ah Wei stared at this monstrosity which towered over buildings and retorted, F*ck you!¡±

    Ah Wei immediately turned around and made his escape.

    In a moment, the entire courtyard was enveloped in all sorts of noises ranging from gunshot sounds, explosions sounds, and even sounds of building copsing.

    As the battle escted, more and more government apostles were embroiled in it.

    Meanwhile, outside the courtyard, another kind of battle was just about to start.

    Under God of Death¡¯s control, a swarm of ordinary citizens came charging into the courtyard.

    ¡°There¡¯s a horde of civilians knocking at our gates!¡±

    ¡°They are attacking us!¡±

    The swarm of civilians rammed their bodies against the gate and roared in fury. They acted as if they were zombies as they mindlessly followed God of Death¡¯s bidding.

    ¡°Do not fire!¡±

    ¡°All of them are just civilians!¡±

    On the other end, the water dragon had shattered the wall to pieces following his thunderous roar. God of Death, Barbie, and Sun Meng were enveloped in Nessie¡¯s body as they charged out of the building and went straight to the gates.

    By now, the gates to the courtyard had already been torn to pieces from the civilians¡¯ barrage. Nothing stood in their way as they made their escape.

    Suddenly, when the group of four was just about to escape from the courtyard, the water dragon froze in his movements, inches away from the gates. It simply floated in midair.

    ¡°Who is it?¡± God of Death immediately swept his head backward and saw a red-haired teen staring right at them with a pair of special sses, making him immune to Sun Meng¡¯s abilities.

    God of Death was taken aback by this teenager¡¯s appearance as he shouted, ¡°D*mn it! Why is he here in Jiangmen city too?¡±

    The red-haired teenager simply reached his arms out and clenched his fist.

    Bam!

    An enormous yet invisible force came crashing down on them. The enormous water dragon was shredded to pieces by the invisible fist.

    The power of psychokinesis!

    Barbie and God of Death who were enveloped in the water dragon¡¯s body were torn to pieces while Sun Meng¡¯s arm was broken by the unimaginable strength andid on the floor, unable to move.

    The red-haired teenager gave them a chilling nce and reached his arm out again. He was about to use his power.

    Suddenly, the wave of civilians had surged towards them and stood in front of Sun Meng¡¯s body. Some of them even came charging towards the red-haired teenager.

    ¡°Hmph,¡± The red-haired teenager simply stared at this wave of civilians with disdain as he sent them flying off with a simple wave of his arms.

    After he finally managed to subdue this wave of onught, Sun Meng andpany had already disappeared into thin air.

    ¡°Sir!¡± Ah Wei eximed as he hurried towards the red-haired teenager.

    His cold starended on Ah Wei¡¯s face as he exined, ¡°The guy who turned into the water dragon did not die. The blonde-haired woman can reborn. The average-looking guy died but I did not see him activate his power throughout the battle. I¡¯m afraid he¡¯s the one who sent the civilians knocking at our gates. The fact that the civilians continued charging at us even after his death can only mean one thing: the one who died was simply a substitute body.¡±

    The red-haired teenager thoughtfully stroked his chin, ¡°The woman who broke her arm during the battle must be Sun Meng, the most wanted person in Jiangmen city. I believe her ability is to hypnotize people to sleep by making eye contact with them.¡±

    ¡°So ... So smart!¡± Ah Wei stared at him in disbelief as he had managed to decipher all their opponents¡¯ abilities from such a short encounter.

    However, the red-haired teenager shook his head after saying all these, ¡°All their powers are too strange and powerful. If I didn¡¯t manage to decipher some of their abilities before the fight, I might be the one lying dead on the floor now.

    Even with this intel, I¡¯m only capable of killing Sun Meng and subduing the water dragon. As for the other two, I would definitely require others¡¯ assistance. I would not be able to stop them if all four came charging at me at once.

    Inform Inspector Ho now and send all personnel after them now! If possible, try and get an apostle who can restrain them!¡±

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    The four of them hurried down a narrow alley.

    All color had drained from Sun Meng¡¯s face. She gulped when she looked down at her twisted arm.

    ¡°Who was that guy?¡± she asked, breathing heavily.

    ¡°Yue Shan,¡± God of Death answered instantly.

    He was now using an attractive young woman as his host. She was walking alongside the rest of the team with long, easy strides.

    ¡°He is supposed to be stationed in Southwest China. I don¡¯t know why he¡¯s switched to dealing with apostles here instead.¡±

    ¡°Is this Yue Shan really well-known?¡± Sun Meng questioned.

    ¡°Ordinary people wouldn¡¯t have heard of him, but he¡¯s a big name among apostles in the Southwest. My little birds there told me about him previously,¡± God of Death exined.

    He continued, ¡°The Southwest is different from Jiangmen City. The human and cat poptions there are muchrger, which means there are a lot more rogue apostles too. Some of them have even formed their own ns. Yue Shan has destroyed many who posed a threat to the government. It¡¯s all any apostle can talk about.¡±

    Nessie¡¯s brows furrowed, ¡°He must have been transferred here because of the recent bout of events.¡±

    ¡°Things actually aren¡¯t as bad in China, guys,¡± Barbie sighed, ¡°It¡¯s total madness back in America. Apostles are fighting and causing trouble all the time. The government is spending all their time dealing with it and covering it all up. As for Yue Shan, well, you¡¯ve got to admit he¡¯s good. It¡¯ll be tough to beat him, even with all our powersbined.¡±

    ¡°Not necessarily,¡± God of Death chuckled darkly, ¡°He is powerful, but he still only has one life. We have endless lives to give and endless chances to take him down. We just need to seed once.¡±

    ¡°Okay, so what do we do now?¡± Sun Meng asked, looking from one teammate to another, ¡°I need medical aid. Also, this just wasn¡¯t part of the deal! Why has it be a fight to the death with the authorities? That wasn¡¯t what I signed up for!¡±

    She punctuated her sentence with a dry sob. Her fierce gazended on the beautiful woman being controlled by God of Death. Sun Meng had long suspected that the ringleader would never reveal his true identity and actually show up as himself. She was not all all surprised that the man who died just now was but another puppet. All she felt was the spiteful pinch of deception.

    ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to that Ah Wei,¡± God of Death spat.

    His face, or rather, the woman¡¯s face, contorted with rage as he thought about how his perfect n had beenpromised and burnt to ashes. It was supposed to be a covert operation, but that idiot had led everyone to the enemy¡¯s front door, where the team¡¯s powers were exposed out in the open.

    They may have escaped this time, but there will be a next time. They will be hunted and it will be brutal.

    This troubled him, but he concealed it perfectly behind a facade of confidence.

    ¡°There¡¯s nothing to worry about. It¡¯ll blow over soon. I have parasitic hosts in the countryside. It¡¯s safe there. It¡¯s also the perfect ce to heal. We¡¯ll be back the moment the authorities have moved on to ruining someone else¡¯s life,¡± he said.

    This prompted Nessie to transform into liquid state with a poof before darting forward as a squirt of water. Hended on the window of a passing car and seeped through it.

    Less than a minuteter, he had taken control of the car¡¯s young driver, who made a U-turn and stopped in front of the team.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    ¡°What about the cat cafe? My cat¡¯s still in there!¡± Sun Meng said after climbing into the car.

    ¡°Now is not the time, trust me,¡± God of Death replied gravely.

    ¡°But you promised me!¡± she argued, raising her voice, ¡°There¡¯s no Yue Shan in that cafe! With ourbined powers, we¡¯ll take it down easily. What are you so afraid of?¡±

    God of Death returned Sun Meng¡¯s unwavering re.

    ¡°Oh, fine. Fine,¡± he said, sighing, ¡°Nessie, drop by XXth Street on OO Lane. I need to grab a cat before dropping by that cafe. We need the healing power of the cats there anyway. We might as well just take all of them.¡±

    *

    A few hours ago, Zhao Yao was watching a yawning Ah Wei leave the cafe when his phone lit up with a new message.

    This was a mere moment before God of Death began his top secret operation.

    Zhao Yao blinked a few times as he read the message, which was from Dr. Liu.

    ¡°Oh? The Pas¡¯s cat has been stolen?¡±

    Without hesitation, he got to his feet and headed out the door, car keys dangling in his hand. The Pas¡¯s cat was a supercat after all. This incident hinted at trouble.

    Dr Liu was pacing up and down the entrance of the pet hospital when he arrived. She greeted Zhao Yao hastily before ushering him to her office, where the empty cage stood.

    ¡°I have no idea what happened. The cat was gone when I stepped in this morning. I thought it somehow escaped on its own, but security footage shows otherwise,¡± she exined.

    She rewinded the footage of Zhao Yao, who watched it a few times carefully. While it proved that the cat definitely did not stage its own escape, it did not capture who the thief was. All he could make out was a blurry shot of someone¡¯s back. He could not even tell if the person was a man or a woman, young or old.

    ¡°This is tricky,¡± Zhao Yao mused, scratching his chin.

    Dr. Liu watched him intently. She had turned to him as ast resort. She hoped with all her heart that he could help, but she did not pin too much hope on that.

    Pas¡¯s cats could be adopted as a pet with the right permits and documents. However, their conservation status remained to be near threatened after all. It was a protected species, so she called the cops the moment she found out it was missing.

    Unfortunately, the police were not of much help. They arrived at her office, poked around, asked for a statement, then asked her to wait for updates.

    She was too anxious to sit around and wait, which was why she ended up texting Zhao Yao.

    He might not be a detective or a policeman, but he turned out to be the first with a lead.

    He wrinkled his nose as he sniffed the air, his eyes shining when he stopped.

    ¡°Got it! I can detect that silly cat¡¯s scent,¡± Zhao Yao thought triumphantly.

    His sense of smell was greatly enhanced by thebined powers of his cats. This made sniffing out the Pas¡¯s cat¡¯s trail a piece of cake.

    He followed the scent out of Dr. Liu¡¯s office and eventually past the hospital¡¯s entrance.

    ¡°He was here, then there, then...¡±

    He spun to face Dr. Liu, ¡°I¡¯ve got an idea. Stay here, don¡¯t panic. I¡¯ll find that cat soon.¡±

    He ignored the doubtful look on her face as he picked up the scent and followed it again.

    ¡°Here...¡±

    ¡°Then turn right...¡±

    ¡°God, this cat reeks...¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s nose eventuallynded him on XXth Street on OO Lane. He circled the street, stopping in his tracks when he spotted a middle-aged woman with a big backpack on her shoulders.

    The bag was bulging at odd angles. It also radiated the cat¡¯s awful stench.

    ¡°She¡¯s the thief?¡± Zhao Yao wondered, scratching his chin, ¡°She doesn¡¯t look the part.¡±

    ¡°She seems to be waiting for someone. There must be more to this than meets the eye.¡±

    As Zhao Yao considered if he should confront the woman, a new update appeared on the mission panel of his book.

    Side Quest: Never judge a book by its cover. The things that look the simplest can turn out to be the mostplicated.

    Mission Objective: Get to the bottom of the cat theft and find out who is behind it.

    Reward: 300 experience points

    Punishment: None

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up as he digested the details of the new mission. He could not help but crack a smile.

    ¡°Not bad, there¡¯s experience points to be gained.¡±

    That helped him make up his mind to not approach her, at least not yet. Instead, he stuck close to her, waiting for her next move.

    Nothing happened for the next half an hour. Just as Zhao Yao was starting to feel bored, a car pulled up next to the woman.

    The door opened and she climbed into the car, which took off instantly.

    Zhao Yao gged down the first cab that passed him and jumped in.

    ¡°Follow that car,¡± he instructed the driver.

    ¡°The plot thickens. Seems like there¡¯s a mastermind pulling strings here. Could this lead to another ring of cat thieves like Ho Hao Cang¡¯s?¡± he pondered.

    His train of thought was interrupted the longer they traveled. The roads and sights they passed grew increasingly familiar. It took him little time to recognize that they were heading to his cafe.

    ¡°Hmm, are they stationed near my house?¡±

    His question was answered 10 minutester.

    The car stopped in front of the cafe.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s mouth fell open.

    ¡°Are they here to steal my supercats? Who the f**k do they think they are?¡±

    <h4>Chapter 191: Ah Wei¡¯s Encounter and Zhao Yao¡¯s Safety Protocol</h4>

    Ah Wei was down on his luck. He looked the part too.

    Ash and dust had settled on his hair and face, leaving him dishevelled and peppered in grey. He even smelt bad.

    The series of unfortunate events he had gone through begun when Zhao Yao somehowpelled his body to head to the cat toilet and start cleaning it up. Then, he was held hostage by Nessie and friends, before engaging in battle with them.

    This left him exhausted. He felt and smelt like s**t, but he still hurried to the cat cafe, hoping to speak to Zhao Yao. The showdown had results in numerous injuries and casualties and he urgently needed the cafe¡¯s miraculous healing powers to help his colleagues.

    The moment Ah Wei stepped into the cafe, he was greeted by a wave of Celestial Beats. The feeling of warmth andfort that wrapped around him made him sigh loudly in content.

    Baiquan stepped forward when he noticed the new customer, ¡°Hello, you¡¯re back.¡±

    ¡°Is your boss here? Where¡¯s Zhao Yao?¡± Ah Wei asked.

    He noticed that Zhao Yao¡¯s usual seat in the corner was empty.

    ¡°He¡¯s gone out. Might I interest you in a cup of coffee while you wait?¡±

    Ah Wei¡¯s eyebrows furrowed with impatience, but he sat down anyway.

    ¡°Could he have gone to see Old Man Zhuang already? Didn¡¯t he say he¡¯ll go after the cafe closes?¡± he wondered to himself.

    After waiting for 10 arduous minutes, a beautiful young woman took a seat opposite him.

    Ah Wei knew her. She was the cafe¡¯s cashier and also one of the most attractive people he had everid eyes on.

    He also knew that she was one of Inspector Ho¡¯s. She was assigned to the cafe to keep an eye on Zhao Yao and report any misdeeds and suspicious behavior.

    Ah Wei tried to keep his expression cool and collected as he looked at her, ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±

    ¡°Um, excuse me,¡± Xiao Shi Yu started awkwardly, unconsciously mping her nose with her fingers, ¡°There¡¯s an, erm, odoring from you. Could I please trouble you to wait for our boss outside the cafe?¡±

    ¡°What?!¡± Ah Wei startled.

    This was not on the long list of things he thought she had wanted to say to him.

    He looked around wildly to meet the dirty looks that surrounding customers were throwing him.

    He let out a short bark of embarrassedughter before turning back to Shi Yu.

    ¡°Yes, of course. I¡¯ll wait outside right now,¡± he said.

    ¡°I¡¯m terribly sorry about this, sir. To make up for it, your coffee is on us,¡± she apologized.

    ¡°Ah, it¡¯s alright. It¡¯s not your fault, it¡¯s mine, really. No worries,¡± Ah Wei said briskly as he got up.

    He was so cooperative and cheery because it was Shi Yu who was inviting him out of the cafe. If Zhao Yao was the one who did that, he was not going to go down so easily. There would be fight, even if he was not confident of winning.

    Shi Yu apanied Ah Wei as he made his way out of the cafe in as dignified a manner as possible. As they crossed the threshold, he tensed up and came to a sudden halt.

    There was a car parked right outside the cafe. Through the windshield, he could make out three familiar faces. He had grown to memorise every feature and quirk about these faces because they belonged to his abductors.

    The only person he could not recognize was God of Death. He was now using a woman¡¯s form after all.

    ¡°Ah, Zhao Yao is back! I¡¯ll get him toe over,¡± Shi Yu said brightly.

    The mention of Zhao Yao momentarily stunned Ah Wei. Too many things were happening at the same time. He could only watch in horror as Zhao Yao marched towards the car with purpose.

    ¡°That idiot is going to get himself killed!¡±

    Even Colonel Yue Shan had to retreat when faced with these rogue apostles. There was no way that Zhao Yao would be able to beat them.

    Ah Wei¡¯s first response was to seize Shi Yu¡¯s arm, stopping her from getting closer.

    ¡°Don¡¯t go over! It¡¯s dangerous,¡± he warned.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Shi Yu asked, confused.

    Ah Wei hastily pulled her to a corner, where they would be hidden behind a wall. He grabbed his phone and dialed a number.

    ¡°Those four are extremely dangerous apostles. They just attacked our base. Do not go any closer. I¡¯m calling for backup,¡± he exined.

    ¡°Then, what about Zhao Yao...?¡± Shi Yu¡¯s voice trailed off as she looked in her boss¡¯ direction.

    *

    ¡°That ragdoll cat is mine. Her name is Elizabeth,¡± Sun Meng exined, ¡°Her power is to create realistic illusions by manipting your sense of hearing and sight. All she has to do is look at you and you¡¯ll be a goner. Unfortunately, she can only control one person at one time.¡±

    Of course, that was not Elizabeth¡¯s only weakness. On top of looking at the target, she had to rely on sound waves to manifest her power.

    Sun Meng chose to kept that a secret. She fully intended to use Elizabeth¡¯s power for herself, so it would be stupid to reveal its Achilles Heel.

    ¡°I doubt that would cause us too much trouble,¡± God of Death said confidently, ¡°I¡¯m sure there¡¯s a limit to how far her power can reach. I¡¯ll send a few of my minions to observe us and see past any illusion she might have cast.¡±

    Having said this, he closed his eyes, as if he was carefully experiencing and relishing an emotion.

    ¡°Okay, a few of them are nearby now.¡±

    ¡°120 meters should be enough,¡± Sun Meng piped in, ¡°As long as your minions stay 120 meters away from the cafe, I don¡¯t think they¡¯ll be affected. They can see what¡¯s actually happening without interference.¡±

    They may only be dealing with an ordinary apostle, but after the showdown they had just gone through, the team were being extra cautious. They understood that superpowers can take up even the most unimaginable and unexpected forms. Even the most veteran fighter can be defeated if they underestimated the enemy.

    The car screeched to a halt by the cafe.

    The four of them remained in the car to observe what was going on within the small shop.

    ¡°There! There she is, the fattest one on the top of the kitty tower,¡± Sun Meng pointed out.

    Every gaze in the car zoomed into Elizabeth, but they were disrupted by sharp, rapid knocks on the car window. Four pairs of eyesnded on Zhao Yao instead.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s he doing here?

    ¡°Have the authorities found us?¡±

    Amid the spections, God of Death spoke up.

    ¡°Open the door,¡± he said calmly, ¡°Let¡¯s hear what he has to say. If something sounds odd, we¡¯ll attack. If he¡¯s here alone, well, even God can¡¯t save him.¡±

    So the window was unwinded and Zhao Yao has his chance tosh out at them.

    ¡°So you guys are the good-for-nothing supercat thieves, huh? I see you¡¯ve set your sights on my cafe. Let me tell you, you¡¯re going to regret it. Do you even know who I am?¡± he spat.

    The four of them werepletely unmoved by

    his words. They stared back at him expressionlessly.

    God of Death chuckled. He decided to patronize him, ¡°Oh? So who are you? Pray tell.¡±

    Hisposed, mocking tone unnerved Zhao Yao. The groove between his eyebrows grew deeper as he took a closer look at each passenger in the car.

    It turned out he knew one of them and that spelled bad news.

    ¡°The injured woman is the fugitive Inspector Ho warned me about, isn¡¯t she? I¡¯m supposed to run and hide if I see her,¡± he thought.

    ¡°S**t, could this car be filled with her fellow fugitives?¡±

    Zhao Yao felt his breath catch in his throat. His mind reyed Inspector Ho¡¯s words. The five people in the car were no petty thieves. They were dangerous and had to be handled with absolute caution.

    This was why he rolled out his freshly minted security protocol.

    Step one, unleash Matcha¡¯s timefreeze.

    Step two, get as far away from the car as possible.

    Step three, switch to Dust Ball¡¯s power and disappear in front of their eyes.

    He heaved a sigh of relief as he was sucked into the safety of the extradimensional belly.

    Now that he had an arsenal of powers, he often wondered how he should use them when confronted with an unknown enemy.

    What if he were to use timefreeze? What would happen if the opponent had defensive powers that could reverse its effects? What if the opponent could emit poison? What if the opponent could redirect the impact of his power to something else?

    And what of Elizabeth¡¯s illusions? What would happen if the opponent could direct the power to hit Zhao Yao instead? What if the opponent had the same skill? Worst, what if the opponent had some ultimate one-hit KO move?

    In every one of these situations, it would be a mistake to jump straight into the offensive. There were too many possibilities and powers out there for there to be an attack that will always be sessful. This was why Zhao Yao came up with the security protocol.

    ¡°Damn it, he recognized us,¡± God of Death said, picturing the look of illumination that had been on Zhao Yao¡¯s face before he disappeared, ¡°Where¡¯s he gone to? It seems like he can teleport.¡±

    The five of them climbed out of the car and onto the street.

    ¡°That fe, just wait till I get my hands on him...¡± Nessie grunted.

    He had barelypleted his sentence when Zhao Yao suddenly appeared before their eyes again.

    This time, however, he had a cat in his arms.

    It was Ares the Persian.

    Zhao Yao looked at the apostles, his eyes glowing red.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes were glowing red when he made his reappearance. However, the target of his mind control was not any of the stunned fugitives in the car. It was Ares, who wasfortably nestled in his arms.

    With a content meow, Ares climbed onto his shoulders. The cat wrapped his paws around Zhao Yao¡¯s neck and rested his face against the apostle¡¯s cheek.

    In this moment, his deflector field was activated. It covered both him and Zhao Yaopletely, engulfing them in its safety.

    Ho Hao Cang¡¯s downfall had been a valuable lesson for Zhao Yao. He knew that for the force field to work well, it had to coat every inch of him like cling wrap. This was why even the soles of his feet were now enveloped by it. This created a hairline gap that kept him from touching the ground.

    It took a lot of trial and error for him to defeat Ho Hao Cang. Difficult it may be, the process had taught Zhao Yao how to utilize this power to make maximum impact.

    Once he waspletely protected by the field, he heaved a sigh of relief.

    No matter what happened next, he would be safe.

    In the battle of superpowers, there is never a greatest one. Even the most destructive powers had their weaknesses. Even the most negligible shoring could cost your life.

    Victory was not guaranteed for the strongest, but the infallible.

    This was Zhao Yao¡¯s maxim. It was why he derived this security protocol when Ares ended up in his hands. He had to put safety first.

    Now that he was in the protective embrace of the deflective field, the fun can begin.

    He looked at each of the wanted fugitives in the eye and smirked.

    He beckoned them with his finger, ¡°C¡¯mon, let¡¯s get this over and done with. Show me what you¡¯ve got.¡±

    Barbie was the first to charge forward. Her gift of self-revival made her the perfect candidate for the frontline. She could sacrifice her own life for her team with little consequence. Each death lengthened the time it took her to respawn, but that was reset every 24 hours.

    She hurled herself at Zhao Yao without a second thought, dagger in hand.

    He did not flinch or shrink away. Unfazed, he raised his hand, fingers spread, before clenching them into a tight ball.

    ¡°All senses go!¡±

    Elizabeth¡¯s power allowed him to rob a person of all of the five senses. He was able to cast perfect illusions that do not feel any different from reality.

    Ah Wei and Sun Meng watched in stunned silence as Barbie, Nessie, and God of Death¡¯s two parasitic hosts fell to the ground.

    Zhao Yao watched the scene unfold in surprise as well. His powers worked on everyone except for Sun Meng, who remained on her feet, conscious and gaping.

    ¡°Hmm?¡± he narrowed his eyes, then unleashed the skill again.

    Sun Meng waspletely unaffected.

    ¡°How is this possible? How can she be immune?¡± Zhao Yao wondered.

    At the same time, Sun Meng was thinking about the exact same thing.

    ¡°How is this possible? How can he be immune?¡±

    When Zhao Yao had reappeared to taunt them, she immediately tried to put him to sleep. The operative word here is ¡°tried¡± because she never seeded. She had no clue that he was repelling all attacksing his way with the deflective shield.

    Sun Meng¡¯s immunity was not a result of a superpower, but something far simpler.

    It was just good preparation.

    She had raised Elizabeth. She knew well the ragdoll¡¯s temperament, preferences, and, more importantly, abilities.

    ¡°Lizzie¡¯s powers are manifested through sound waves.¡±

    With this in mind, she had stuffed a pair of plugs into her ears before the car pulled up by the cafe.

    Right now, she took advantage of Zhao Yao¡¯s momentary shock to rush towards Nessie. She fished for her only spare earplugs and put them on for him.

    There was only one person she could save and she had to be smart about it. Only Nessie¡¯s offensive capabilities and shape-shifting stood a chance at victory.

    ¡°How is this possible?! Elizabeth¡¯s power has reached a point where I can concuss them with one hit and yet, she stands,¡± Zhao Yao thought in disbelief.

    His train of thought was disrupted when he noticed movement from the heap of fallen fugitives. Nessie had opened his eyes and transformed himself into a jet of water. He cut through the air, heading straight for Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Yes!¡± Sun Meng cheered.

    The jet of water was fast, furious, and deadly. It was powerful enough to pierce through flesh and steel. There was no way Zhao Yao could escape now.

    She watched as Zhao Yao casually waved a hand. The movement was small, but the impact it made was immense. The sphere of energy that left his palm collided with the jet of water in midair, which resulted in a loud explosion.

    Sun Meng¡¯s jaw fell open as the powerful stream disintegrated into pelts of water that fell to the ground like rain.

    ¡°No!¡± she cried, ¡°This is impossible!¡±

    Nessie¡¯s high-pressure jet could cut through steel. How could it be stopped so effortlessly?

    Zhao Yao clenched and unclenched his fist, a satisfied grin on his face.

    ¡°The deflective field is perfectly malleable. It can cling to my skin as protection, but it can chalk up some serious damage too. Rapidly contracting, then expanding it, willunch a rush of destructive energy at the opponent. If Ho Hao Cang used it this way, he would¡¯ve been a lot harder to defeat. But I guess he couldn¡¯t risk doing that at the expense of exposing his other supercats to damage.¡±

    The waterworks that fanned out in the sky regrouped in no time, this time in the form of a dragon. It let rip a loud roar before speeding towards a nearby fire hydrant.

    Zhao Yao clenched his fist again, unleashing Elizabeth¡¯s power. It had no effect on the dragon.

    The reason for this was simple. This skill attacked the brain. It warped the target¡¯s senses and derailed their grip on reality. In liquid form, Nessiecked a brain that Zhao Yao could affect.

    The dragon hurled itself at the fire hydrant once, then twice, then thrice. It kept going until it was finally knocked to the ground.

    A gushing tower of water immediately shot skyward. The dragon snaked around it, gradually merging and melting into it. It grew and ballooned in size, eventually emerging as a 10 meter tall, 1-meter wide dragon, a malicious look set in its eyes.

    ¡°Little worm, you are messing with the wrong guy,¡± it stated.

    A deafening whirring was sounded. There was a rumble in the sky as a massive whirlwind formed around the dragon.

    Sun Meng held her face in her hands as the gusts of wind repeatedly whipped at her. She felt like she was about to be lifted into the air.

    ¡°Goddamnit!¡± Ah Wei swore as he looked up at the intimidating dragon in the sky,

    He shouted into his phone, ¡°You guys better get here right now. That waterbending idiot is going batsh*t crazy. He¡¯s going to destroy the entire street.¡±

    Zhao Yao remained silent as he watched the dragon circle the sky, drawing closer. He curled his fingers into his palm and a ripple ran through the defensive field tightly wound around him.

    As it charged towards him, he did not run.

    He seemed unfazed by the fact that this dragon was made up of ten tonnes of water. It was enough to flip a truck or crush a person to death.

    All he did was to raise his right hand, which was clenched into a fist, and throw a punch towards it.

    ¡°Jesus Christ, has this kid gone mad?¡± Ah Wei thought to himself, his heart hammering against his chest.

    He was gaping at the scene unfolding before him. He wanted to speak or to yell at Zhao Yao to run, but all the words were stuck at the base of his throat.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s punchunched a force field in the direction of the dragon. It headed straight for its target. When it made contact with the dragon¡¯s head, it exploded with a boom.

    It was as if a bomb had gone off. The dragon¡¯s form disintegrated, reducing it to showers of water that fell to the ground like raindrops.

 Chapter 193: Undefeatable and Untouchable

    <h4>Chapter 193: Undefeatable and Untouchable</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao raised his fist and stared at it admirably.

    He had put the entire force of his body into delivering that punch, but it did not hurt his hands or fingers at all. The deflective field protected him against it all.

    He could not help butugh, ¡°Damn, I¡¯ve be undefeatable and untouchable. Guess I can do whatever I want from now.¡±

    The deflective field was not imprable. There was a limit to the amount of energy it could repel. However, as long as the assault sent his way did not exceed this limit, it will keep him perfectly safe.

    Bybining its defensive capabilities with physicalbat, Zhao Yao has be immensely powerful. Not a hair on him would be harmed, while his opponent would be in for a horrible battering.

    The water droplets and vapor in the air regrouped into a dragon again. It circled the sky, close to the ground. This time, it was not growling or snarling at Zhao Yao. It looked at him solemnly.

    ¡°Kid, what¡¯s this power you have?¡±

    ¡°Little worm,¡± Zhao Yao responded, using the same term the dragon had previously referred to him as, ¡°My body is indestructible. Even a nuclear missile can¡¯t touch this.¡±

    The dragon struck again.

    This time, it did not charge straight at Zhao Yao. Instead, it continued to glide in a circle, rapidly firing high-pressure jets of water from every surface.

    The jets pierced through the air like giant arrows. The ones that hit the ground wrecked the asphalt of the road with a sickening crack.

    The dragon rained a barrage of them in Zhao Yao¡¯s way, gradually losing its massive size in the process.

    Even a truck would be shattered into pieces with an assault of this magnitude. Nessie believed that there was no way that Zhao Yao could bear such an attack.

    However, there he stood, stillpletely unharmed.

    He had managed to repel the water jets, which now rocketed straight for the dragon, sting him apart yet again.

    Nessie was in a shock, ¡°How can this be? He doesn¡¯t have weaknesses at all. What is his power? Is he some kind of tank?¡±

    With a simple point of his finger, ripples warped the air before Zhao Yao¡¯s fingertip, destructing the next onught of water jets.

    Nessie felt his left eyelid twitch.

    ¡°Who is this kid? He can teleport, vanish, cast illusions, and now, it turns out he¡¯s a f**cking fantastic fighter,¡± he red.

    Zhao Yao grinned at the dragon.

    ¡°You are really bad at this, dude. You¡¯ve had your turn, now watch me!¡± Zhao Yao said, beginning to crouch, ¡°Iron Palm Wave!¡±

    With thatmand, heunched himself towards the dragon with a loud boom. The impact of his take-off created arge crater to appear on the asphalt he had stood on.

    Zhao Yao raised his right fist, then swung it downwards with all his might. A deafening crack filled the air as he sent a bolt of energy hurtling towards the dragon.

    Once impact was made, its gigantic head exploded into liquid smithereens again.

    The spectacle looked lethal, but it only damaged Nessie¡¯s morale, not his body. The dragon was not him. It was how he shapedrge volumes of water.

    After Zhao Yao destroyed its head, its shape shifted into a spectacr wall of water.

    ¡°If I can¡¯t touch you, I¡¯ll drown you.¡±

    The roar of the surf could be heard as the massive wave rushed towards Zhao Yao, swallowing him whole.

    ¡°Drowning, huh? That¡¯s cute,¡± he chuckled, ¡°Watch me unleash my Heaven Wrecking Thunder!

    He raised both fists, then struck them outwards to cast force fields. The two orbs exploded when they collided with the tall wave of water, causing an eruption of droplets to spray onto the ground like a mega fountain.

    Zhao Yao ambled through the explosion, unperturbed. Nessie aimed another water jet right at his head, but it was repelled and sent right back when it got close to him.

    ¡°Hammer of steel!¡± Zhao Yao yelled.

    He then threw a punch at the new form that the water was morphing into.

    Nessie could feel his head start to hurt.

    ¡°Stop screaming out random names for your powers, you idiot!¡± he yelled.

    ¡°What do you know about my powers?¡± Zhao Yao shouted back, ¡°I¡¯m the undefeated. I can do whatever I want. Every namees to me naturally as I use the power. It¡¯s a very authentic and personal process!¡±

    ¡°Watch my Super Dimensional Breaker Phoenix Fist!¡± he shrieked with everyst ounce of breath from his lungs.

    ¡°What the f**k is that?!¡±

    ¡°None of your business, weakling! I¡¯m the champion, I do what I want.¡±

    With a loud boom, the dragon¡¯s body was shattered into water drops once again.

    In the rtive safety near the cafe, Ah Wei was watching the fight with his mouth wide open. He had battled Nessie before. On a good day, he might be able to ward off his assaults. Just now, back at base, he was only able to escape because of Yue Shan¡¯s intervention. Now, with Nessie¡¯s dramatically expanded size, he would be done for if he had to face him.

    Nessie was extremely powerful in Ah Wei¡¯s eyes.

    However, he seemed as insignificant as an ant to Zhao Yao, who was effortlessly driving back the endless water jets that came his way.

    Nessie¡¯s attacks were as useless as Zhao Yao¡¯s punches and kicks were mighty. His reflexes were instant and his moves were destructive. His volley of assaults made it impossible for Nessie to reassemble the water drops into a new form.

    Xiao Shi Yu was also in a state of shock.

    ¡°I thought you said that they were highly dangerous fugitives. Then how...?¡± she started.

    Ah Wei shot her an awkward smile, ¡°I wasn¡¯t lying. It¡¯s just that Zhao Yao is even more powerful.¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao? Powerful?¡± Shi Yu¡¯s voice trailed off as her attentionnded back on the figure in the distance, which now seemed unfamiliar to her.

    Ah Wei was no stranger to Shi Yu¡¯s identity, so he did not hesitate to tell her more about the fugitives.

    ¡°The four of them broke into headquarters and were surrounded by hundreds of the most elite fighters, among them more than 30 apostles. They had firepower. They had stamina. They were seriously dangerous. I ran when I could,¡± he borated.

    ¡°An apostle¡¯s power on the battlefield dependsrgely on the supercat¡¯s abilities. Of a hundred cats, only one or two would boast something truly damaging. But look at Zhao Yao. He instantly KO-ed two of them when he appeared. The remaining two can do him no harm. While that dragon looks powerful, he can¡¯t seem to handle him either.¡±

    ¡°S**t!¡± Ah Wei suddenly raised his voice, an anxious expression on his face, ¡°That water-bender is escaping!¡±

    On the other end of the street, Sun Meng was still shielding her face with both hands. She was pale with worry as the battle stretched on. She had to dig her heels into the ground to stop being driven back by the waves of energy around her.

    With great difficulty, she opened her eyes to peek through her fingers.

    The fighting was not going as expected at all.

    ¡°How can Zhao Yao be so powerful?¡± she thought uneasily.

    She had believed that her team was unbeatable. She would never have imagined that this one guy could yield so much destruction.

    They hade here ready to crush a helpless little lizard, but it turned out that it was Godzi after all.

    She could see and hear the pedestrians near her yelling in fright. Most of them were confused about what had happened. They could hardly see through all that water spraying everywhere. They assumed that a fire hydrant had been knocked to the ground by a car.

    Sun Meng opened God of Death¡¯s WeChat group chat with trembling hands, hoping to contact him. All his parasitic hosts were added to that group so that he was able to see new messages, no matter who he was actively controlling.

    ¡°Hey, God of Death, where are your hosts?¡± Sun Meng yelled into her phone, ¡°We need backup! Nessie can¡¯t do this much longer.¡±

    A middle-aged man was standing the intersection near Sun Meng, staring unblinkingly at the showdown. He was one of the hosts sent here to assist the main host in executing the cat cafe raid. The main host was always supported by a dozen others.

    All of them were here tounch an attack on Zhao Yao¡¯s cafe, but it was obvious that that was not going to happen.

    God of Death sighed deeply when he listened to Sun Meng¡¯s urgent message.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±

    That was the message he replied her with. The two words got Sun Meng shaking with rage.

    ¡°What do you mean by ¡®I¡¯m sorry¡¯?! Just dispatch your hosts here! We have a n. Just stick to it,¡± she shouted.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± God of Death repeated in his next message, ¡°I am unwilling to make enemies with a monster like that in the foreseeable future. From now, we will be halting all operations in Jiangmen City. From today, all my hosts here will undergo hibernation to avoid detection. Goodbye and good luck.¡±

    Sun Meng¡¯s eyes zed over the words again and again and only stopped when the group chat was deleted.

    She let out a frustrated scream.

    The man who stood at the intersection had barely finished deleting the WeChat group when he raised his head and looked around in confusion.

    ¡°What am I doing here?¡±

    In the midst of the battle, Nessie¡¯s dragon was growing smaller and smaller in size.

    Every time the spray of water regrouped to form a new dragon, it was sted apart again by Zhao Yao¡¯s punches. At one point, however, it stopped reassembling and remained as waterdrops that battered the ground.

    This was not a sign of Nessie giving up.

    It was just a cover for him to dart into the sewers undetected, where he could head straight to Zhao Yao¡¯s cafe.

    He was escaping!

    The showdown between Zhao Yao and the four fugitives caused quite themotion.

    Ah Wei and Xiao Shi Yu¡¯s eyes were glued to what went down on the battlefield.

    Everyone else in the cat cafe did the same as well. They stood on their tiptoes, trying to catch a better view of what was happening. Thankfully, the vapor and gushing water made it impossible for them to make out that the cafe¡¯s owner was in the middle of it all.

    Of course, Matcha and the gang of supercats had also noticed the uproar outside.

    They crowded around the ss window, meowing and yowling over each other.

    ¡°We have enemies at our doorstep! Zhao Yao is fighting them now!¡± Matcha eximed, ¡°We¡¯ve got to join him on the battlefield!¡±

    ¡°He is so cool!¡± Roly Poly called out, brimming with excitement as Zhao Yao threw another epic punch at the opponent.

    ¡°Come on, guys, let¡¯s go! Together, we can destroy the enemies,¡± Dust Ball chimed in, a steely look in her eyes.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go now! What are you waiting for?¡± Rice Cake burst out.

    She was skipping around, bursting with energy. She could not wait to run straight into the fight.

    ¡°Yes, yes, I know,¡± Matcha responded, ¡°But we can¡¯t just jump straight in like idiots. We have to wait for the right time.¡±

    ¡°How about now?¡± Rice Cake asked impatiently.

    ¡°Okay! All troops deployed!¡± Matcha yelled in earnest.

    ¡°Dude, why aren¡¯t you moving?¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s smash them!¡±

    ¡°You keep talking, but you still aren¡¯t moving!¡±

    ¡°CAN¡¯T YOU JUST GIVE ME A MINUTE?!¡± Matcha burst out.

    He was so furious that he started wing at the cat nearest to him, resulting in a storm of fur to descend over everyone.

    ¡°Can¡¯t you see that I¡¯m waiting for the right opportunity?!¡± he huffed, breathing heavily.

    Roly Poly copsed onto the floor in a state of confusion. Tufts of hair had been grazed from his body and were now floating in the air.

    He turned to Matcha with a look of dejection, ¡°What have I done to deserve this?¡±

    Elizabeth shot them a dirty look. So far, they had been all talk, no action.

    At that moment, a water jet shot out of a manhole cover into view. It darted straight for the cafe.

    Nessie.

    ¡°Five seconds until the enemy reaches the battlefield! Get ready!¡±

    ¡°Pfft, that¡¯s the enemy? He¡¯s tiny,¡± Matcha scoffed.

    The jet of water was barely the width of a human thumb.

    ¡°C¡¯mon, guys! We should attack him when he¡¯s weak!¡± Matcha rallied, ready to pounce.

    As the cats banded together to strike, there was a loud explosion. A surge of water erupted from the drain that lined the street outside the cafe. It merged with the water jet, which started to expand in size rapidly. In no time at all, it grew into a waterspout the size of a truck.

    This turn of events caused the supercats to stop in their tracks and tumble over each other.

    ¡°We¡¯ll not waste our energy on the tank!¡± Matchamanded, ¡°Let¡¯s attack the fragile ones hiding behind. Roly Poly, cover me, George Matcha the Saviour. Everyone else, follow me!¡±

    The cats meowed in response. They rushed out the cafe, where Roly Poly activated his power of invisibility to hide everyone from view. The water dragon rushed charged right past them, oblivious to their presence.

    Matcha, Rice Cake, Roly Poly, and Dust Ball headed straight for Barbie, who was already unconscious on the ground.

    They bit and scratched her vehemently.

    ¡°Attack the blonde enemy! We cannot let her deal any more damage to us or Zhao Yao!¡± Matcha ordered.

    Roly Poly took this instruction very seriously. He burrowed beneath Barbie¡¯s shirt and used his teeth to tear off her bra. When he emerged, he announced victoriously, ¡°I have destroyed her armor! Her breastte is no more!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll finish her!¡± Rice Cake volunteered, shing her ws.

    She pushed them onto Barbie¡¯s chest and unleashed her power, which channeled a series of vibrations to her victim.

    ¡°Her defensive skills are too powerful!¡± Rice Cake announced in surprise, ¡°I can¡¯t reach her organs.¡±

    Unknown to the tiny cat, she was unable to release the full devastation of her powers when she was not in excruciating pain.

    Matcha was busy sniffing her pockets. ¡°Where¡¯s her purse? I need her purse!¡±

    Elizabeth observed the four cats from a distance with narrowed eyes. She raised her paw to her face, ¡°Idiots.¡±

    Regardless, she cast an illusion around her friends to ensure that no one could see what they were up to.

    Ah Wei let out a bellow of fury when he saw Nessie dart into the cafe. He activated the Blood of Magmar before storming after him, a trail of smoke and heat radiating off his body.

    He looked like he meant business, but it only took one sweep of the dragon¡¯s tail for him to be sent flying out of the cafe.

    The customers let out frightened screams as they ran out of the store, away from the water monster. The remaining cats made off into various corners of the cafe, their tails hung low between their back legs.

    Nessie knew that beating Zhao Yao was impossible. His new n was to grab the supercats and run.

    After he flung Ah Wei outside, he turned back to face the cafe and found itpletely deserted.

    ¡°What the..?¡±

    While Roly Poly may be gone, Baiquan was still staying guard here. He had activated his invisibility skill to conceal everyone left in the cafe while Ah Wei was distracted. He stood in front of the cats and the remaining customers, his arms outstretched. He urged them to move backward, away from Nessie.

    His power might not be able tost long but, coupled with Ah Wei¡¯s momentary distraction, it was enough to buy them time.

    When Zhao Yao noticed that Nessie had snuck into his cafe, he pushed himself off the ground, producing a field of energy that rocketed him there in an instant.

    He was already marching through the entrance when Nessie noticed that the cats and customers had all disappeared.

    With a punch, Zhao Yao sent a formted energy st his way, blowing him up yet again.

    ¡°Goddammit! This guy is fast!¡±

    Nessie knew that he had lost his one chance of making off with the cats. He quickly regrouped dispersed water drops, then split them into four smaller waterspouts, each heading in its own direction.

    Only one out of the four was Nessie. The rest was a diversion.

    Zhao Yao projected one bolt of energy after another, each exploding a waterspout. Not a single one held the real Nessie.

    ¡°Sh*t!¡± he spun around, his eyes following thest one.

    It was heading straight for the cat¡¯s toilet.

    ¡°I¡¯ve got to stop him before he escapes through the pipes there.¡±

    Shortly after the waterspout tunneled into the toilet, it knocked the nearest water pipe in half, creating a golden shower of waste.

    The explosion rmed Mango, who had been minding his own business, pooping in one of the self-cleaning automatic litter boxes.

    The first bit of poo that he had squeezed out went right back in out of shock. His rxed mood was reced with fear and anxiety. It eventually morphed into anger when he realized that his painstaking efforts to poop had gone to waste.

    Mango red at the cause of themotion, his face bloated into an expression of indignity and fury.

    This was when Zhao Yao had barged into the toilet, mming the door open. He was met with the horrific sight of the blown up water pipe and poop smeared all over the floors and ceiling.

    Mango leaped onto the highest litter box. He turned to Zhao Yao and started meowing at him angrily.

    On the floor, a middle-aged man was kneeling, his hands clutching his tummy. He extended a hand to Zhao Yao, sweat dripping down his pale face.

    ¡°I...I have hemorrhoids.¡±

    Zhao Yao was stunned into immobility. He could watch as the man fell to the ground, unconscious. Blood was pooling from the lower half of his body.

    Later, when the paramedics showed up at the cafe, they found Nessie lying in a bloody mess of poop and urine. He hadpletely lost his memory and his pupils had turned a disturbing white.

    When Zhao Yao saw him copse, he backed away from the toilet immediately. He sprinted out of the cafe, where the churning of his stomach reached a bearable level.

    ¡°That was close,¡± he said, wiping the sweat from his forehead, ¡°That could¡¯ve been it. Elizabeth¡¯s illusions may not work on him, but thankfully Mango¡¯s did.¡±

    In that moment, Zhao Yao understood that Elizabeth could only affect the five senses if she had ess to the target¡¯s brain. Mango¡¯s abilities, however, operated on a whole new level.

    He peered through the ss window of the cafe, where his customers were also clutching their tummies, their faces contorted with pain.

    ¡°Get out! If you don¡¯t want to die, get out now!¡± he shouted.

    With Ah Wei and Baiquan¡¯s help, the customers were led out of the cafe and into the rtive safety of the street.

    Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief. He could not imagine how horrifically catastrophic it would be if so many people were to poop in the cafe at the same time.

    On the other end of the street, a purse was dangling from the corner of Matcha¡¯s mouth. A bra was in Roly Poly¡¯s. All four cats were doing a victory dance on Barbie¡¯s motionless body.

    ¡°Victory! We have beaten this woman into unconsciousness!¡±

    ¡°We¡¯re so cool!¡±

    Their celebration was interrupted by Matcha, who pointed at Sun Meng¡¯s retreating figure.

    ¡°Guys, there¡¯s one more trying to escape! We¡¯ve got to go after her!¡± he yelled.

 Chapter 195: The Aftermath

    <h4>Chapter 195: The Aftermath</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Sun Meng had wanted to flee long before Nessie was defeated. Shortly after she received the goodbye message from the hateful God of Death, she turned to run.

    The pain shooting up through her body from her twisted arm made it impossible to get too far. Every step was excruciating.

    She had only managed to limp a hundred meters when a miniature ck cat jumped into view. Itnded in front of her and stared up defiantly as if blocking her from getting away.

    Sun Meng narrowed her brows. This was undoubtedly a supercat.

    Of course, she was right. It was Dust Ball, who had noticed Sun Meng¡¯s quiet escape way before Matcha did. This was why she was the first to respond and the first to reach her.

    Dust Ball kept her eyes locked with Sun Meng¡¯s as she opened her mouth, baring her sharpest teeth. She let out a guttural snarl as she activated the extradimensional belly.

    Before Dust Ball could swallow her whole, Sun Meng swiftly put the cat to sleep. Her abilities had been exposed anyway. There was no longer a need to conceal them.

    This marked the abrupt end of their encounter. The tiny Dust Ball fell into a heap on the floor, fast asleep. She had, however, managed to suck Sun Meng¡¯s shirt in, leaving her in just her bra.

    ¡°S**t!¡± she swore, looking down at her bare midriff, ¡°What kind of perverted ability is this?!¡±

    Her sleep inducement had hit not only Dust Ball, but everyone near them. Matcha, Roly Poly, and Rice Cake¡¯s chase was cut short as they copsed onto the ground, snoring.

    The passers-by staring at her started falling one after another like toy soldiers. The same happened to Ah Wei and the remaining customers outside the cafe.

    There was no denying that this ability was effective even against the most powerful opponents. A sleeping enemy was as good as a dead one. It meant that no one would stand in her way.

    Unfortunately, she knew that there was an exception to this rule. There was one person who was immune and that made him a huge threat.

    ¡°I hope Nessie can distract him for a while longer,¡± Sun Meng sighed.

    She continued to hobble away, looking spitefully at the people on the ground.

    ¡°How could God of Death abandon us! That scumbag.¡±

    Her anger soon morphed into fear when a series of deafening explosions was sounded from afar. The sound rapidly grew closer and louder and in an instant, a shadow was cast over her.

    Zhao Yaonded in front of her with a sickening crunch. The impact he made was as huge as an asteroid that just hit the earth. Every action he made was amplified by the st of force he used to propel himself. He cracked the surface of the road the moment his feet touched the ground, sending dust and debris flying everywhere.

    Sun Meng coughed, taking a few steps back.

    Zhao Yao took a hard look at the one person who was immune to his illusions, then at the people on the ground. Some of them had started to stir thanks to the racket he made with every move.

    ¡°Seems like she can somehow induce sleep. Thank God for the deflective shield. I could¡¯ve been one of them,¡± he thought.

    There was a frenzied ferocity in Sun Meng¡¯s stare when she looked at him.

    ¡°Only I can wake all those people I¡¯ve put to sleep from theira. You¡¯ll never find my cats, so without me, they¡¯ll remainatose forever!¡± she warned, brandishing threats as a final defence.

    ¡°Comatose? What are you talking about?¡± Zhao Yao tilted his head to the side, ¡°Whatever it is...¡±

    Zhao Yao gently brushed his hand past Sun Meng¡¯s face, hoping to sweep her away. He tried his hardest to use as little strength as possible, but she still ended up getting knocked off her feet and cartwheeled down the street. Shended on her face with a loud thud and promptly passed out.

    Zhao Yao looked down at his palm in disbelief.

    ¡°Ouch. It¡¯s not easy to control this,¡± he mused.

    After all, the strength he mustered now was not his own. It was based on the inherent and immense power of the force fields. This meant that wrecking destruction was a breeze, but holding back was not.

    Zhao Yao could not gauge the impact of his actions at all, especially because he was not manipting the force fields directly. He was controlling Ares to do so.

    He felt a tinge of guilt for his heavy-handed attack, but he brushed that off quickly. What mattered was that hepleted his mission. He had solved the mystery behind the cat theft.

    The corners of his lips lifted into a smile when he realized that he gained 600 experience points. Coupled with the points he earned from his daily missions, changes appeared in the team¡¯s progress breakdown:

    Book: Lv3 (1438/2000)

    Matcha: Lv4 (1010/2000)

    Elizabeth: Lv4 (250/2000)

    Dust Ball: Lv5 (140/5000)

    ¡°Good. I can level up Matcha now,¡± he grinned.

    Of course, now was not the time to take action. There were still quite a few things to tackle at hand.

    ¡°Who would¡¯ve thought that an uneventful day would end with fighting dangerous fugitives? Someone less powerful and handsome would¡¯ve been in big trouble,¡± Zhao Yaoughed to himself.

    He then whipped out his phone and dialed Inspector Ho¡¯s number.

    Strangely, he did not pick up. It took numerous attempts before the line finally got through.

    The inspector started rambling before Zhao Yao could utter a hello.

    ¡°Zhao Yao!¡± he yelled through the receiver, ¡°Is everything alright? Hang in there, we¡¯re on our way!¡±

    It turned out that Ah Wei had alerted headquarters that Sun Meng and gang had appeared at the cat cafe. Inspector Ho sent reinforcements the moment the news reached him.

    Zhao Yao scratched his head at the worry in the inspector¡¯s voice, then gazed at the fallen apostles before him.

    ¡°About that, I think I¡¯ve finished them off.¡±

    ¡°...¡±

    A pregnant pause followed his reveal.

    ¡°Did you say you finished them off? As in, you defeated them?¡± Inspector Ho asked.

    He was speaking painfully slowly, as if he was trying to rify something with a two-year-old.

    His words were punctuated with the arrival of an army of uniform ck cars that surrounded the cafe. A few men dressed in ck stepped out, all of them sharing the same tense look.

    Some passers-by began to wake from the crunching of gravel beneath the cars¡¯ wheels.

    The man situated in the car closest to the battleground had bright red hair. He surveyed the scene and started speaking into the mic in his ear, ¡°Freeze Unit, get the liquid nitrogen ready for the water-bender. Restraint Unit, have the tranquilizer darts aimed at the blonde and any of the puppets who try to attack you. Make sure your sses are in ce. You don¡¯t want Sun Meng to get her hands on you...¡±

    It was clear that the authorities have been doing their homework. They had a pretty good handle on the four fugitives¡¯ powers and were well-prepared.

    Every one of them stepped out of the cars, ready to fight. However, the scene they were met with stopped them in their tracks. Various people were scattered all over the ground, mostly unconscious, some stirring. Only Zhao Yao remaining standing.

    Every rifle turned to him.

    Zhao Yao waves his hands awkwardly.

    ¡°Gentlemen, we¡¯re on the same team. In fact, I¡¯m speaking with Inspector Ho right now. You can take a look if you want,¡± he exined.

    The redhead, Yue Shan, narrowed his brows in suspicion. He raised a hand and swiped the air, levitating the phone from Zhao Yao¡¯s palm and hurtling it into his.

    He put the phone against his ear. The expression on his face began to change as he spoke with the inspector. He could not help but throw a puzzled look in Zhao Yao¡¯s direction.

    ¡°Seems like the four fugitives have been defeated. Go check up on them,¡± he ordered the men.

    This changed the expression on every government apostle¡¯s face as well. They turned to Zhao Yao, their eyes full of surprise, disbelief, and caution.

    When they busied themselves with locating the fugitives, Zhao Yao cast an illusion to conceal his whereabouts. This was his window to grab the Pas¡¯s cat, who was still stuck in the car. He sshed water to wake the tranquilized cat, then tricked it into entering the extradimensional belly.

 Chapter 196: Discussions and Arrangements

    <h4>Chapter 196: Discussions and Arrangements</h4>

    The fugitives¡¯ reign of fear was over.

    However, while three of the four apostles were captured that day, tensions had never been higher at the authorities.

    For starters, their efforts to cover up what truly happened were not as effective as they hoped. The official story was that a gas leak and a faulty hydrant caused the explosions, but rumors ran amok online anyway.

    Although multiple parasitic hosts had been arrested, the true identity of God of Death remained a mystery. It was frustrating and frightening. Doubt and suspicion began to seep into the department, poisoning the trust colleagues had for each other.

    The one constion was that Sun Meng was now off the streets and safely locked away. Inspector Ho managed to convince her to reveal the whereabouts of her three ragdoll cats. It turned out that they had always been close by and within reach if Sun Meng needed help.

    With the help of the cats, the damage made to theatose victims were reversed and they finally regained consciousness.

    The incident may havee to a close, but its repercussions were far-reaching. Certain factions of the government used it as a reason to adopt stricter and more aggressive regtions for supercats and apostles.

    This was why Zhao Yao was now in Inspector Ho¡¯s office, scratching his chin thoughtfully.

    ¡°If I knew things would escte to this, I would never have gotten involved,¡± he thought regretfully.

    There were too many pairs of eyes on him now. Too many people knew how powerful he actually was. This did not bode well because the element of surprise was crucial for defeating another apostle.

    Zhao Yao knew that he did not have much to worry about even if the world knew his abilities. Elizabeth¡¯s perfect illusion alone could tackle at least 99% of the people he meets. Coupled with Matcha¡¯s timefreeze, Dust Ball¡¯s extradimensional belly, and Ares¡¯ force fields, he was basically untouchable.

    However, he still did not like the thought ofying all his cards on the table.

    When enemies understood his powers, they would know how to bring him to his knees.

    ¡°At least no one knows about timefreeze and the space-time distortion it brings.¡±

    Inspector Ho was seated on the other side of the table. He studied Zhao Yao, watching as his face took on a myriad of different expressions. He could tell he was worried.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± he started, ¡°It is true that a lot of people know you defeated the four of them. However, no one knows how you did that. Even Ah Wei couldn¡¯t make out what was happening and he was there. Or rather, he couldn¡¯t make sense of what it was you did. Wanna tell me what happened?¡±

    Zhao Yao pursed his lips at the sneaky smile the inspector offered him.

    ¡°You¡¯ll be interrogating Sun Meng soon, won¡¯t you? I¡¯m sure she¡¯ll give you a fantastic y-by-y on what happened,¡± he said.

    He felt a surge of relief from the inspector¡¯s words. Nessie had made sure that their entire battle was shrouded with showers of water. Witnesses would not be able to see what happened clearly.

    ¡°Maybe they¡¯ll assume that I¡¯m some kind of invincible, teleporting Hercules,¡± he hoped.

    Inspector Ho rolled his eyes.

    ¡°You rascal, they can¡¯t exin what happened as well as you can,¡± hemented.

    Zhao Yao scratched the back of his ear absentmindedly. He ignored the request.

    ¡°Let¡¯s not get sidetracked. Why am I here? Business is booming and this little visit is costing me money. You¡¯ve got topensate for that.¡±

    ¡°Rascal,¡± the inspector repeated, shooting him a death re, ¡°Do you know how much s**t your little adventure has caused? There¡¯s been a lot of fighting at headquarters. Everyone wants to know who you are. Among them, many want to lock you up, then take your cats and your cafe. You¡¯re looking at the only reason that¡¯s not happened yet.¡±

    Of course, the inspector had only presented a partial truth. What really went down was a lot moreplicated.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s seeming invincibility had sparked a heated debate among senior state officials. Some of them asserted that what he managed to do single-handedly proved that he was a threat to the nation. As such, his supercats must be handed to the state.

    That was but the first step. They had bigger ns. Eventually, they would implement stricter regtions to keep rogue apostles under their thumb. In fact, they would take cats forcibly from their apostles.

    Naturally, this did not sit well with people like Inspector Ho.

    There were too many supercats and apostles in the country for the authorities to take on by themselves.

    The moment they take things too far, the apostles will fight back. That would be the beginning of the end.

    This was why the American government did not dere war against the rogue apostles, no matter the trouble they stirred. Even if they defeated every apostle, which was highly unlikely, it woulde at a cost. There was no saying how much damage there would be to the country.

    When the fight between the officers got too intense, it was Old Man Zhuang who spoke up and made the final decision.

    He firmly opposed the autocratic style of regting the apostles and inevitably became Zhao Yao¡¯s champion.

    ¡°Do you know how many high ranking leaders have demanded your cats? Putting a stop to that was not easy. You have no clue how many fires I had to put out,¡± Inspector Ho said.

    That was, of course, a shameless exaggeration. The inspector made it in hopes that it would scare some sense into Zhao Yao.

    ¡°I had to call every important person I know and ask for a lifetime worth of favors for you.¡±

    It worked.

    Zhao Yao looked at him with concern.

    ¡°Thank you,¡± he said with genuine gratitude, ¡°Are you going to be okay? Will that screw up your position and promotions and stuff?¡±

    Inspector Ho grinned gleefully. It was rare to see Zhao Yao exhibit appreciation towards him. He was going to enjoy it while itsted.

    ¡°Did my ears deceive me? Did you just say thank you?¡± he smiled far too brightly, ¡°However, you know I can¡¯t protect you forever. You¡¯ll have to join the bureau from now. No one will hurt you when you¡¯re one of us. Your powers, identity, and track record will be highly ssified information. Only the guys right at the top have the clearance to ess it.¡±

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes.

    ¡°Ah Wei and Xiao Shi Yu know, don¡¯t they? Are they one of the ¡®guys right at the top¡¯ you mentioned?¡± he asked, forming air quotes with his fingers.

    Inspector Ho coughed a couple times.

    ¡°I¡¯ve already spoken to them. Don¡¯t worry, their lips are sealed. Trust the bureau,¡± he replied calmly.

    ¡°Okay,¡± Zhao Yao said tentatively, ying along, ¡°What do I have to do if I join you?¡±

    ¡°Well, whatever you want, really. Keep running that cafe of yours, it¡¯s up to you. However, when troublees knocking, we need you to deal with it.¡±

    ¡°Sounds fair,¡± Zhao Yao nodded, ¡°How about payment? I¡¯ve helped you deal with the fearsome foursome, haven¡¯t I? I think that calls for a reward. A million dor token of appreciation sounds good.¡±

    His cheeky agreement to join the bureau was punctuated by an update to the mission panel.

    It simply read, ¡°Bureau Missions Activated!

    Zhao Yao raised an eyebrow in question. He had no clue what that meant. However, he soon developed an inkling of what this was when he turned back to the inspector.

    ¡°What the hell?¡± he murmured under his breath.

    A grey exmation mark had appeared above Inspector Ho¡¯s head.

    The inspector paid no notice of how the peculiar expression on his face. He was too focused on responding to his ridiculous request.

    ¡°A million?! That¡¯s more than what my department spends in a year,¡± he protested loudly.

    Then, he took a deep breath and forced himself to be pleasant. He put on his best supportive smile, ¡°While we can¡¯t give you that money, we will make it up to you in other ways. You are a hero and it is my job to take care of the person protecting our city.¡±

    Inspector Ho did not want to indulge Zhao Yao at all. However, the boy was not a valuable asset to the bureau. He needed to keep him happy.

    The inspector coughed again to get his attention.

    ¡°You love that cafe of yours, no?¡± he began, ¡°There¡¯s a clothing store on the second floor above you. We¡¯ll arrange for its ownership to be transferred to you. You can rent it out or expand your cafe to fill both floors.¡±

    This was super effective in capturing Zhao Yao¡¯s utmost attention. He blinked a couple times at the inspector, his eyes shining with surprise.

    ¡°Really? Awesome! That¡¯s very generous, inspector.¡±

    Zhao Yao knew exactly how valuable that second-floor unit was. Like the cafe, it was situated in the prime shopping district between the university town and the train station. It was hot property that you might not be able to get just with money.

    Inspector Ho smiled when he saw how happy Zhao Yao looked.

    ¡°See? I told you to trust the bureau and me. We¡¯ll take care if you,¡± he added.

    ¡°Yeah, this is pretty decent,¡± Zhao Yao beamed, excitement brimming in his heart, ¡°My profits are bound to go up when I expand the cafe. I¡¯ve been worried about how I can cater to the growing number of clients. Thises at the perfect time.¡±

    His grin grew wider as he continued dreamily, ¡°The Best part is I never have to pay rent for this. Even if I stop running the cafe and rent both units out, I¡¯ll have enough money to do nothing for the rest of my life.¡±

    Zhao Yao paused to relish the moment, but was swiftly sidetracked by the grey exmation mark that still floated above the inspector¡¯s head.

    ¡°Hey, Inspector, do you need my help with anything?¡± he probed curiously.

    ¡°Do you need a pack of cigarettes? Water? Lunch?¡±

    ¡°Or perhaps you need the cats¡¯ help with a rat infestation?¡±

    Zhao Yao kept rattling off things he could help with, but no mission would appear.

    As Inspector Ho¡¯s eyebrows moved higher and higher into his hairline, he knew he had to stop before his sanity would end up being questioned.

    He pursed his lips and wondered, ¡°Maybe the exmation marks do not mean that there¡¯s a mission?¡±

    He shook his head with a sigh before giving up. There were other things he needed to talk about.

    ¡°Oh, right, my cafe was destroyed by what went down. I need help fixing it,¡± he pointed out.

    Inspector Ho shot him a knowing smile, ¡°I knew that wasing. I¡¯ve already called in favors from the best interior designer and construction team in Jiangmen City. They¡¯ll work overtime to build an even nicer cafe than what you had. Do you want to use your new unit to expand it?¡±

    ¡°Yes, of course. I want to open the best cat cafe in the world!¡± Zhao Yao responded promptly.

    He grinned toothily at the inspector, who had no clue that growing the cafe was more than just earning more profits. More money rolling in would be more experience points and that was all that he wanted.

    ¡°Did you know that your hairstyle looks perfect today?¡± Zhao Yao beamed.

    The inspector narrowed his eyes at him. He was bald. There was no hairstyle to speak of.

    ¡°That is not how being a suck-up works,¡± he stated coolly.

    Zhao Yao misunderstood that as a cue to keep trying.

    ¡°You, Inspector, are a vision. You are the perfectbination of good looks, talent, ss, skill, intelligence, drive, invincibility...¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay, enough. Stop that right there,¡± Inspector Ho raised a hand, ¡°The team will let you know when the renovations areplete. Case closed. You can go now.¡±

    ¡°My cats?¡±

    ¡°That Baiquan fe already brought them home.¡±

    Once Zhao Yao left the office, he whipped out his phone and sent a text to Matcha and gang to verify that they were alright. Then, he hopped into the Panamera and headed to the cafe to grab his belongings.

    As he drew closer to the cafe, he spotted a gigantic tent set up right by its entrance. A great number of people were crowded inside. They stood in a haphazard circle around someone or something. There was one man in ck stationed at each corner of the tent, guarding the area. They looked like Ah Wei¡¯s men. Each of them had a pair of electronic eyesses perched on the bridge of their noses.

    Ah Wei was situated in the heart of the crowd. He shouted to everyone, ¡°I¡¯m sure the explosions you witnessed today must have been unsettling. Everyone,e closer, the government will make it up to each and every one of you.¡±

    ¡°Come on, don¡¯t be shy! Squeeze a little, people!¡±

    ¡°Now, we¡¯re about to unveil just what the government has in store for you. But first, take a look at this cat!¡±

    ¡°What the hell is going on?¡± Zhao Yao muttered, hurrying towards the crowd, ¡°There are so many witnesses.¡±

    As of now, he could hear Ah Wei¡¯s beckoning voice. He could not see him or any cat at all.

    The next moment, a portion of the crowd had fallen onto the ground. The rest followed like dominos, copsing one after another. As soon as a person touched the floor, he or she would instantly fall into a deep sleep.

    Zhao Yao stopped in his tracks, his eyes growing as round as marbles. He had no idea what just happened. He watched in stunned silence as a ragdoll cat appeared. It ambled elegantly through the fallen crowd, cing its paw on each person it passed.

    He quickly looked from the ragdoll to the rest of the tent. There were two more ragdolls here. They boasted glossy coats of fur that shone in the sunlight. These were definitely not your average cats. They were pedigree and very well taken care of.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s gaze eventuallynded on Ah Wei.

    ¡°What the heck is going on here? Men In ck 4? Are those three supercats too?¡±

    ¡°Mr Zhao,¡± Ah Wei greeted tensely.

    He was speaking to Zhao Yao in an awkwardly deferential tone, ¡°Yes, these are supercats. They belonged to Sun Meng. This one can put people to sleep by just looking at them. That one over there can erase memories. I have orders to do that to every eyewitness.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded. That would exin why Ah Wei¡¯s men were all wearing electronic sses.

    ¡°How much can the cat erase? Someone is bound to remember something,¡± hemented.

    ¡°Yes, that might be true, but it doesn¡¯t matter. Top management¡¯s strategy to is to erase the memories of as many people as possible. The IT and web department will be squashing as many of the rumors and stories online as they can. A small minority might escape us, but they will not be enough to create too much of a problem.¡±

    Zhao Yao gave another curt nod. ¡°Alright. Make sure to fix my customers too. I don¡¯t want them to remember what happened today.¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡±

    Ah Wei¡¯s attitude towards Zhao Yao had transformed rather dramatically.

    He had faced the fugitives first hand, so he knew that defeating them was a feat. Zhao Yao, however, made it look like a cakewalk. He could not help but feel a deep reverence towards him now.

    He shuddered to think that he almost initiated a fight with him.

    A little way away, the family of ragdoll cats was having a discussion of their own.

    Caesar, the father, who was busyining, ¡°How long is this going to take?¡±

    Catherine, the mother, chimed in as well, ¡°What kind of humans must they be to force cats intobor?¡±

    Caesar and Catherine¡¯s daughter, Diana, tried to speak some sense into her parents.

    ¡°Mom, Dad, let¡¯s notin. Remember that we are pure-bred. We must remain elegant and graceful even when we work.¡±

    Zhao Yao was the only person who could understand the cats¡¯ yowling. He could not help but roll his eyes in response to their conversation.

    He gave Ah Wei a quick wave before entering his cafe to pack his belongings. Then, it was finally time to go home.

    As soon as he stepped foot into his house, a blur of orange rocketed straight for him, burrowing head first into his chest.

    ¡°Zhao Yao!¡± Matcha cried, ¡°I¡¯m starving! Baiquan did not cook for us!¡±

    The warmth and happiness that seeped into Zhao Yao¡¯s heart immediately froze over. Without hesitation, he tossed the ginger cat off him. He had naively believed that Matcha had been worried for him.

    The rest of the supercats dispersed around the living room turned to him as well.

    ¡°Hey, boss, are you alright? What did the inspector say?¡± Baiquan asked.

    He was the only one who showed any concern for his well-being.

    ¡°Everything¡¯s fine. You know who I am. A small thing like that won¡¯t get in my way,¡± Zhao Yao replied lightly, ¡°In fact, I managed to get them to renovate our cafe and expand it.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s good,¡± Baiquan let out the breath he was holding, grinning, ¡°Boss, you must be hungry. I¡¯ll make dinner.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded, then slumped wordlessly onto the couch. He looked at the cats around him.

    Roly Poly had copsed by the kitchen door, presumably out of hunger. He was not moving.

    Rice Cake, Dust Ball, and Mango were chasing each other around the house. They were in high spirits. Mango would evade capture by jumping nimbly on the table and Dust Ball would hide beneath the couch.

    The strays were herded into their room, from which the asional meow could be heard.

    Matcha was circling the kitchen, yowling at Baiquan to hurry up with his cooking.

    Zhao Yao could feel his body finally begin to rx as he watched the cats ying carefreely.

    ¡°You guys don¡¯t have a care in the world, do you?¡± he mused, wishing he could say the same for himself.

    The day had been eventful. He was relieved that just by agreeing to join the bureau, he could keep his cats and remain on good terms with the authorities. He knew that he could afford to strike such a good bargain because he was powerful. If he wanted to keep the ball in his court, he had to remain that way.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know what the world will be like in the future. Whatever it is, I need to grow stronger and keep leveling up. That is the only way to protect myself as well as Matcha and the cats.¡±

    While he was deep in thought, Elizabeth had walked up to him quietly.

    ¡°That girl, Sun Meng, what happens to her now?¡± she asked.

    ¡°Sun Meng?¡± he thought about it, ¡°Well, she¡¯s been captured. After a trial, she would probably be sentenced to life in prison. The worst-case scenario would be capital punishment.¡±

    He turned to look at Elizabeth, ¡°You know her?¡±

    ¡°She owned the cattery I grew up in. I knew her even before I was awakened.¡±

    Zhao Yao raised his eyebrows. He did not expect that Elizabeth knew, much less shared such a close rtionship with Sun Meng.

    ¡°How about the three ragdolls cats with her? What¡¯s going to happen to them?¡± Elizabeth continued asking.

    ¡°The authorities would never kill powerful supercats,¡± Zhao Yao responded, ¡°Are they your rtives?¡±

    Elizabeth nodded slowly. ¡°It¡¯s very likely that they¡¯re my parents and sister.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± Zhao Yao triedforting her, ¡°The government is dying to get their hands on powerful supercats. They would be in no danger. In fact, they¡¯ll probably be pampered at some top secret facility. They might even be fed better food than what you get here.¡±

    That did not work. Elizabeth sighed.

    ¡°I had run away from home on impulse. I never thought that this would happen,¡± she said.

    Zhao Yao looked at her awkwardly. ¡°Well, about that, I was actually intending to y a round of PUBG. You don¡¯t have to tell me what happened if it¡¯s too much for you.¡±

    Elizabeth continued talking as if Zhao Yao never spoke at all, ¡°But Sun Meng wanted me to mate with some stupid cat to make babies! I did not even like him! How could I just go through with that?¡±

    Her voice got louder, ¡°He was this dull-witted, unawakened cat! His only redeeming factor was that he was good-looking!¡±

    ¡°Who¡¯s talking about me?¡± Matcha called from the kitchen.

    Zhao Yao yawned as he surrendered himself to the fate of having to listen to Elizabeth¡¯s tale.

    The summary of it was that Sun Meng used to run a breeding cattery. She had always hoped to create more outstanding cats with each generation of ragdolls. This did not change when Elizabeth¡¯s family was awakened. Sun Meng wanted to breed more supercats, starting with matching Elizabeth with a handsome male ragdoll.

    Elizabeth was adamant about not going along with this n. This resulted in a massive fight between her and Sun Meng, which ended with Elizabeth running away from home. The cat ended up on the streets, where she would cast an illusion so that she could travel further away by random cars. Eventually, she ended up in Jiangmen City.

    Her story bored Zhao Yao to death. He had seen this y out in a thousand different TV shows.

    However, his eyes widened when he noticed that an exmation mark had appeared above Elizabeth¡¯s head.

 Chapter 198: A Mission About a Family

    <h4>Chapter 198: A Mission About a Family</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    ¡°Hmm?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes were fixed on the exmation mark that hung above Elizabeth¡¯s head, ¡°That looks just like Inspector Ho¡¯s, except it¡¯s gold, not silver. Does this mean there¡¯s a mission?¡±

    He turned to Elizabeth, eyes glimmering with hope.

    ¡°Lizzie, can I help you with anything?¡± he asked, batting his eyelids.

    Elizabeth studied the strangely eager look on his face.

    ¡°You¡¯re acting weird,¡± she stated.

    ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about me. I want to focus on you,¡± he brushed her off swiftly, ¡°I can tell that there¡¯s something bothering you. Is there anything I can do to help?¡±

    Elizabeth nced at him hesitantly before speaking.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, can you save my parents and my dumb sister?¡±

    ¡°I have a feeling she doesn¡¯t like this sister of hers,¡± he thought, chortling to himself.

    Elizabeth sighed deeply, ¡°The three of them may be stupid and unthinkably unattractive, but they¡¯re still family. I hope you can bring them here. They don¡¯t deserve to be enved by the government forever.¡±

    When Elizabeth finished speaking, a new mission shed on the board.

    Side Quest: Family Should Stick Together!

    Objective: Save Elizabeth¡¯s family and keep all of them by your side

    Reward: 100 experience points

    Punishment For Failure: None

    This mission did not look much different from every other one that came before it. However, unlike the other quests, Zhao Yao had the option to ept or decline it.

    Of course, he did not think twice before epting.

    ¡°I get it now,¡± he thought gleefully, ¡°It seems like I can now grant wishes as side quests! I wonder I can ept Elizabeth¡¯s but not Inspector Ho¡¯s? Maybe it¡¯s his unattractive appearance and aura?¡±

    He did not ponder over this for too long. He had more pressing matters at hand. The cats should still be painstakingly erasing memories back at the cafe. If he hurried over now, he could still catch them.

    Time was of the essence here.

    Zhao Yao shot out of the couch and dashed out the door, only to return as if he had forgotten something.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Roly Poly?¡±

    He skidded to a stop by the kitchen and scooped the fat cat into his arms.

    ¡°Boss, are youing back for dinner?¡± Baiquan called out after him.

    ¡°Yes. I¡¯ll be back soon.¡±

    Roly Poly was not happy with this turn of events.

    Hetched onto the front door with his ws, holding on as if his life depended on it.

    ¡°I do not want to leave this house! I need food!¡± he cried.

    The poor cat looked like he was close to tears. Zhao Yao, of course, did not care. He dragged him out the house, leaving two-meter-long w mark in his wake.

    With an unwilling Roly Poly in tow, Zhao Yao sped to the cafe in his Panamera. When he got closer to the shopping strip, he could see that the gigantic tent was still there. Ah Wei, his men in ck, and the ragdoll cats were all there too.

    He heaved a sigh of relief, then quickly turned to Roly Poly. He pinched the cat¡¯s face lovingly to grab his attention.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to rescue those cats right now. To seed, I need you to make me invisible, alright?¡± he said, smushing Roly Poly¡¯s cheeks.

    Zhao Yao might be able to create perfect illusions, but that had limitations. They messed with the brain, so electronics were unaffected. Any camera would be able to see through them, much less the high-tech ones embedded in the men¡¯s electronic sses.

    Roly Poly¡¯s invisibility, however, was an optical phenomenon. He could literally make anything within his line of sight to, well, disappear from sight.

    This was why he was crucial for this rescue mission.

    Roly Poly looked up at Zhao Yao, puzzled, ¡°Who are those cats? Why do you have to rescue them?¡±

    ¡°There are three ragdoll cats in that tent,¡± Zhao Yao started exining, ¡°The moment Iid eyes on them, I felt this strong connection. I want to take them home with us.¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s eyes narrowed with disdain.

    ¡°Dude, those cats are Elizabeth¡¯s parents and sister. If we don¡¯t save them now, her family will be separated forever!¡± Zhao Yao added.

    The fat cat¡¯s eyes instantly widened in surprise, then narrowed again, but this time with determination.

    ¡°That¡¯s my parents-inw and sister-inw right there!¡± he eximed, puffing out his chest, ¡°Of course I¡¯ll save them! Let¡¯s go!¡±

    Zhao Yao made a grab for Roly Poly to stop him from charging forward. The ragdolls were doing an important job. They could strike when every witness¡¯ memory had been erased.

    The duo waited for more than half an hour before Ah Wei¡¯s team started packing up. They looked at each other and nodded. With that, Roly Poly activated his power and both of them disappeared from view.

    Zhao Yao easily slipped into the tent undetected. He sneaked up on the family of ragdolls and scooped them into his arms when no one was watching. The moment that happened, Roly Poly cloaked the cats with invisibility as well.

    At the same time, Zhao Yao had cast an illusion on every person around him, robbing them of their sense of sound and touch. The ragdolls were struggling to shrug him off, so he stripped them of all five senses, knocking them out.

    Ah Wei let out a shout of rm when he watched the cats vanish right before his eyes. The level of tension in the tent immediately shot up to breaking point.

    ¡°For f**k¡¯s sake,¡± he sighed in defeat, pinching the bridge of his nose, ¡°Some day this has been. There goes my bonus.¡±

    He then turned to the men around him.

    ¡°Find those cats now!¡± he barked.

    Zhao Yao smirked as the men in ck dispersed around the tent, searching every corner for the cats they would never find.

    When he got home, he ced the three unconscious ragdolls on the couch.

    The supercats crowded around the new arrivals curiously.

    Matcha¡¯s mouth fell to the floor when he saw them.

    ¡°Qian Qian?¡± he said in disbelief, ¡°Isn¡¯t that Qian Qian? Zhao Yao, you kidnapped her just for me?! You¡¯re the best!¡±

    In excitement, he started to mount Diana, ¡°I¡¯m going to get started then.¡±

    ¡°No you¡¯re not,¡± Elizabeth hissed, casting her glowing eyes on Roly Poly.

    The fat cat proceeded to smack Matcha with unprecedented strength, causing him to fly off the couch and crash onto the floor.

    Roly Poly looked down at his paw in fear, then turned to Matcha. Something clicked in his mind. That really was Princess Qian. No wonder he found her so familiar. He was unable to recognize her because he had no browsed through her photos in a while. She had blocked him from her WeChat a few days ago.

    ¡°That Qian Qian is an imposter. She¡¯s been using my sister, Diana¡¯s, photos on her WeChat. I know because I¡¯ve chatted with her before,¡± Elizabeth said.

    ¡°An imposter?¡± Matcha cried, leaping onto the couch to study Diana, ¡°Is she the real Qian Qian?¡±

    ¡°Her name is Diana, not this stupid Qian Qian,¡± Elizabeth corrected impatiently.

    Matcha and Roly Poly turned to Elizabeth, then stared at the unconscious Diana.

    Matcha licked his lips creepily, ¡°She looks even better in real life. I wonder what her fur feels like.¡±

    Roly Poly sneakily reached for his phone, hoping to take a photo.

    Mango had already lost interest in the new cats. He was now running around the living room, carefree as always.

    Dust Ball and Rice Cake were watching the three ragdolls with distaste. The former swished her tail haughtily, face full of contempt.

    ¡°That¡¯s three more cats bumming around, leeching our food.¡±

 Chapter 199: Fist of God, Thereâ€™s Company!

    <h4>Chapter 199: Fist of God, There¡¯s Company!</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao reached out to block Roly Poly¡¯s phone.

    ¡°Look at the state they¡¯re in. It¡¯s not nice to take their photos now,¡± he told the fat cat.

    He then turned to Dust Ball.

    ¡°We¡¯ll keep them in the belly. C¡¯mon, open up.¡±

    The authorities were bound to be butthurt about the loss of the cats. If they found out that Zhao Yao took them, there would be hell to pay.

    The extradimensional belly was the best ce to keep them from prying eyes.

    Dust Ball, however, did not seem pleased with this arrangement.

    ¡°More cats?¡± she red at Zhao Yao, ¡°Don¡¯t you think the house is overcrowded now? Why are you bringing more of these randos home? I will not let you use my belly for cat hoarding.¡±

    Zhao Yao did not bother exining. He reached into his back pocket and produced a bag of catmint, which he promptly threw in Dust Ball¡¯s face.

    ¡°Open up,¡± he repeated.

    ¡°You...!¡± she choked, at a momentary loss for words, ¡°I¡¯m trying to help you, Zhao Yao! You can¡¯t just keep collecting cats. Which sane woman will be willing to date a cat hoarder? Your life will be in shambles.¡±

    The temptation of the catmint, however, proved too strong. Again.

    Unhappily, Dust Ball opened her mouth and unlocked the extradimensional belly. Then, Zhao Yao created an illusion that lured the confused ragdolls to enter it.

    *

    News of the battle in Jiangmen City gradually spread through the country.

    A young man was musing over the incident in the Huadu District of Guangzhou. He wasfortably seated in an office in one of the city¡¯s highest skyscrapers. He slowly opened his eyes, which were behind a pair of gold-rimmed sses.

    ¡°I would never have thought that an apostle of that caliber would exist in Jiangmen City. What a miscalction,¡± he said, scratching his chin thoughtfully.

    The other man in the room smiled. He was lounging on a couch, his dyed white hair catching the light streaming in from the windows.

    ¡°Has your n failed, God of Death? I heard Yue Shan graced that city with his presence. He defeated you?¡±

    ¡°No, not him,¡± God of Death responded, shaking his head, ¡°I had the good luck to bump into an unexpectedly extraordinary opponent. He¡¯s the authorities¡¯ problem now.¡±

    ¡°Unexpectedly extraordinary?¡± the white-haired man echoed thoughtfully, ¡°Is he more powerful than me?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no way of telling,¡± God of Death replied honestly, ¡°You never know how dangerous an apostle truly is until you go up against him one-on-one. But I¡¯ve seen enough to know he is too powerful to offend, at least for now.¡±

    He paused for a moment, ¡°This is just the beginning, my friend. Once we strike more alliances and expand our territory, no one will be able to stand in our way. I have my sights set on the Southwest. Jiangmen City can wait.¡±

    The two young men were the leaders of Fang, thergest rogue apostle n in the district.

    As vice president, God of Death had been amplifying the n¡¯s reach by iming parasitic hosts in every neighborhood and corner in Huadu. With the proliferation of hosts, the district was Fang¡¯s.

    However, his steady agglomeration of hosts also made him a bigger threat in the president¡¯s eyes.

    Snow flipped his head of white hair, then looked at God of Death, brows furrowed.

    ¡°This fellow...I don¡¯t trust him,¡± he frowned, ¡°This man I see right now might not even be him. Even if I kill him right here, right now, there¡¯s a 50% chance it¡¯s just another host. I can only wait for the day I find his supercat.¡±

    God of Death nced at Snow.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± he asked, ¡°Do you have any objections regarding our Southwest n? You don¡¯t have to worry about Jiangmen, you know. That was just to test the waters. Seeding would be a bonus. Failing wouldn¡¯t put a dent in what we have.¡±

    Snow shot his vice-president a quick smile.

    ¡°With you at the wheel, I have nothing to worry about,¡± he said, shifting on the couch,¡± I am, however, interested in this unexpectedly extraordinary apostle you mentioned.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll meet him one day. Once we have enough allies by our side, we¡¯ll meet him and we¡¯ll fight him,¡± God of Death stated.

    He rested his head against the leather seat, staring out the full-length window.

    ¡°After all the powers in the world, mine grows the strongest with time. Zhao Yao, it¡¯ll be my turn to surprise you the next time we meet,¡± he brooded.

    ¡°Is that so?¡± Snow asked, disrupting his thoughts.

    God of Death turned to look at him.

    ¡°Snow is starting to get bossy, hasn¡¯t he? Is it time to get a new president again? That would not be ideal, of course. We¡¯ve already had too many recements,¡± he pondered.

    *

    Ares¡¯ eyes snapped open.

    He scrambled onto his legs, looking around wildly.

    ¡°What¡¯s happened?¡± he started rambling, ¡°Why do I feel like I¡¯ve gone on a trip when I was asleep? And then I fell asleep again? Did I really leave, or was it just a dream?¡±

    Zhao Yao had robbed the poor cat of his five senses when he poured him back into the real world. This knocked Ares out instantly. Sensory deprivation made his little adventure feel like a whacky dream.

    The confused cat scanned the room. Loud snores emitted from a heap of cupboard boxes. There was no doubt that all his friends were squished in them, fast asleep.

    At least all except for one.

    Gaia was lying on his front, handphone in paw, staring dumbly at him.

    Ares looked from Gaia to the cats, then back to Gaia again, wondering if it was all really a dream.

    His thoughts came to a screeching halt when his brain registered what Gaia was likely doing.

    ¡°What are you up to?¡± he demanded, narrowing his eyes at the guilty Garfield cat.

    He bounded forward and grabbed the handphone.

    ¡°How many times have I told you that we watch our shows together? We have to conserve energy! What are you watching?¡±

    Gaia retreated into himself like a frightened tortoise.

    ¡°I was watching Naruto,¡± he admitted quietly.

    The re Ares shot him was cold, rigid, and terrifying.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t we supposed to be watching that together? Are you trying to spoil the show again?!¡± he yelled.

    ¡°No, no! Of course not! I¡¯ve not gotten very far from where we were. I stopped when Sasuke betrayed them and fled,¡± Gaia replied earnestly.

    ¡°Did you just say Sasuke ¨C ?¡±

    Ares was too furious toplete his sentence. He pped a paw on Gaia, knocking him off his feet. The spoiler cat flew through the air before hitting a wall, where he slid down on the floor like mud.

    ¡°How?¡± Ares looked down at his paw in rm, ¡°When have I ever had so much strength?¡±

    His eyes grew wide.

    ¡°Wait a minute, I remember now! I learnt a new move in my dreams!¡± he dered triumphantly.

    ¡°What¡¯s happening, boss?¡± Fujin asked sleepily, raising his head.

    Themotion had woken all three cats from their slumber.

    ¡°Shh,¡± Ares held up one paw to shush the cats.

    He kept his eyes shut tightly, brows furrowed as he tried to recall what happened in his dreams.

    ¡°I remember now! I learnt a new skill...¡±

    ¡°Iron Palm Wave!¡± he eximed.

    As he spoke, he balled up his paw, creating a force field around him. Next, he used the paw to throw a punch, which produced a crack that sounds like a whip of lightning. A st of wind spun forward at high speed, tearing straight for the cardboard boxes.

    The cats leaped out of the way as the st hit the wall behind them, where it cast an imprint the shape of a massive paw.

    Ares might have been unconscious during the battle against Nessie, but he remembered well the new skills Zhao Yao inevitably taught him.

    ¡°Iron Palm Wave! I remember everything now! That¡¯s the right way to use the force fields,¡± he concluded excitedly, ¡°I can¡¯t believe I dreamt of all that! I must be a genius.¡±

    He then turned to face the cats.

    ¡°Oh, by the way, Sasuke betrayed the team and fled,¡± he said casually.

    ¡°No!¡± the cats cried in unison.

    Ares let out an evil chuckle when he spoiled the show for his friends. He had forgotten that he was in their shoes a mere moment ago.

    ¡°Alright, alright, stop whining. Now that we¡¯re all here, let¡¯s watch Naruto,¡± he suggested.

    And so, the handphone was switched on.

    Dried food was poured into the dish. Canned food was put into the bowl. The emptied cans were stacked together as a makeshift phone console.

    Four pairs of shimmering eyes were glued to the screen in anticipation.

    ¡°It¡¯s starting!¡± Fujin eximed, inching a little closer to the phone, ¡°Boss, do you think Ninjitsu really exists?¡±

    ¡°Of course not,¡± Ares replied airily, ¡°Remember this, Fujin. Naruto and Attack on Titans are all make-believe. They¡¯re fake. Only shows like Ultraman and Ironman are real.¡±

    The five cats had been holed up in their little nest for a while. Their only form of entertainment was all kinds of movies, television dramas, and animations. After watching a ton of them, they hade to their own conclusion on what was real and what was not.

    Fujin nodded sagely, ¡°Boss knows best.¡±

    ¡°That goes without saying. You¡¯ll learn a lot when you stick with me,¡± Ares said proudly.

    ¡°Stop talking, guys! It¡¯s about to start!¡± Lucifer protested, nearly stomping on the ground to get his point across.

    Naruto was popr for a reason. The fight scenes, plot development, and plot twists were captivating. Within minutes, the four cats were on the edge of their seats, their minds upied with nothing but the anime.

    This was why they did not notice when a sh of white pierced through the air, creating a portal through which three furry beings appeared. They fell right into the cardboard boxes with loud thuds.

    The sudden noise rmed the cats. Each of them jumped into the air, let out a loud meow, then darted into various corners of the room.

    ¡°Everyone, stay calm!¡± Ares yelled betweenforting licks of his fur, ¡°One of us should take a look at what those things are.¡±

    The three cats shook their heads vehemently.

    ¡°Useless, all of you!¡± Ares scolded.

    As their leader, he had no choice but to approach the mysterious figures.

    ¡°I¡¯m not afraid!¡± he announced, ¡°I¡¯ve mastered my Iron Palm Wave. No matter what they are, I¡¯ll tten them into Krabby patties!¡±

    Ares gulped, then nudged his paw to activate the force field. It protected him from head to toe, as if he was engulfed by an invisible bubble. His feet were levitating an inch off the ground.

    As he got closer to the heap of fur, one of the creatures swished its tail, then attempted to get up.

    In response, Ares pushed a paw forward, sending another whirlwind smack into the ragdoll. He flew across the room, hit a wall, then slid down,nding on Gaia.

    ¡°Oh no,¡± Gaia sighed before passing out.

    He had barely regained consciousness when the ragdoll fell onto him, knocking him out once more.

    At this point, the other two ragdoll cats wereing to as well. They gingerly got onto their feet, exposing their faces to the rest of the cats for the first time.

    When Ares caught sight of them, he could feel his heart skip a beat.

    ¡°Who are you? Where am I? What happened?¡± Diana stared at her surroundings with a look of panic and confusion. A line was etched between her brows as she had no idea what to do.

    All she remembered was working at the tent a second ago, now she found herself in this mysterious ce after getting blinded by a ring beam of light.

    ¡°Diana, everything¡¯s all right. You do not have to worry.¡± Catherine, Diana¡¯s mother, ran her paws through the fur on the back of Diana¡¯s head andforted her. Catherine fixed her eyes on Ares andpany and asked politely, ¡°Hello, may I ask where are we at? Also, what happened to my husband, Caesar?¡±

    After finishing her question, she cocked her head and stared at where her husband previously stood and saw him lying atop a Garfield, Gaia. She had no idea what they were doing.

    ¡°A neer ...¡± F¨±jin was interrupted by Ares as he pressed his paws against F¨±jin¡¯s chest.

    Ares¡¯s eyes stared straight at Catherina as he spoke, ¡°Good eveningdies, you currently find yourself in a ce known as the vige of dreams. God created this specially for us, cats.¡±

    Ares could not help but scanned Catherine from head to toe. He wanted to lick every single inch of fur on this beautiful cat.

    Catherine had spent most of her time in the cattery and was not ustomed to the attention showered upon her by Ares. Ares¡¯s stare was making her slightly ufortable as a flush crept up her face. She lowered her head in embarrassment and whispered, ¡°Mister, what is your name?¡±

    ¡°I am Ares.¡± As he spoke, he noticed a slight movement at the far corner of his eyes. The other ragdoll, Caesar, was struggling to get on his feet.

    Ares immediately instructed the other cats via their shared consciousness, ¡°Do not let that fat and obnoxious cate near me and interrupt my conversation with this ragdoll.¡±

    ¡°Boss, what happened?¡± A look of confusion was stered on F¨±jin¡¯s face as he rified, ¡°Is there something wrong with them?¡±

    ¡°There is a huge problem!¡± Ares¡¯s stare did not once drift from Catherine as he continued, ¡°Especially this female ragdoll. Her body emanates a certain demonic aura and I¡¯m afraid I¡¯m the only one capable of dealing with her. I need the rest of you to take care of the male ragdoll. Just knock him unconscious the moment he wakes up.¡±

    The other catsplied with Ares¡¯s instructions and dashed towards Caesar and surrounded him.

    However, Lucifer was not as easy to trick aspared to the others. Lucifer rolled his eyes in disgust andmented, ¡°Ares, have you fallen for this cat? I¡¯m afraid she already has a husband and a daughter.¡±

    ¡°What do you know?¡± Ares retorted, ¡± ... This just makes her even more perfect!¡±

    Catherine¡¯s eyes drifted towards Caesar as she stared at him concernedly. She took a few steps towards Caesar but was stopped in her tracks by Ares, ¡°Do not worry, my subordinates will take good care of him.¡±

    Catherine gave Ares a puppy-dog look and asked curiously, ¡°But I think he¡¯s awake.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s impossible! How can he wake up so quickly?¡± Ares forced a most awkward smile on his face and instructed ruthlessly, ¡°Knock him unconscious.¡±

    Initially, Caesar felt his body finally awakening from a groggy sleep. His eyelids quivered as he forced them open. At that moment, he was struck at the back of his head by a monstrous force as he once again went unconscious.

    Lucifer was left speechless by his friends¡¯ actions andmented, ¡°Rakshasa, that too hard.¡±

    The British Shorthair, Rakshasa, stared at his paws as he slowly retracted his razor-sharp ws. With his power, his paws were already coated with ayer of metal. By pping Caesar using his paws, it was as good as striking him with a brick, ¡°Boss told me to do so, hence I must knock him unconscious.¡±

    Meanwhile, Catherine was perplexed by Ares¡¯s response as hershes fluttered with confusion, ¡°But I¡¯m sure I saw his body move just now.¡±

    ¡°I think your eye yed a trick on you.¡± Ares moved his body to the side and revealed Caesar who remained to lie on the floor unconscious, ¡°Look, he¡¯s still unconscious! Cats that firste here will not be used to the air pressure in this ce and it¡¯s natural for them to remain unconscious for a few days. Let him have a good rest. I¡¯ll use this time to introduce you to the ce.¡±

    He then led the two female ragdolls towards the direction of the phone. With two beautiful ragdolls walking alongside him, Ares could not help but reveal a smile. He took in a deep breath to relish in his moment of glory.

    Lucifer, F¨±jin, Rakshasa surrounded Caesar¡¯s unconscious body in anticipation. F¨±jin raised his hind leg as he licked the fur in his groin area and asked, ¡°What do we do when Gaia wakes up?¡±

    To cats, it was their natural habit to remove any stench from their bodies. The groin which was the source of the most intense smell was definitely no exception.

    ¡°Just knock him unconscious as well.¡± The British Shorthair revealed a devilish smile and threw his paws in the air. His paws had instantly turned into a pair of metal paws and were swinging in the air like a pair of metal bats.

    The Garfield, Gaia, whimpered as he struggled to open his eyes. Before he could react to the situation, Rakshasa had already struck the back of his head using his metal paw and sent him back to sleep again.

    Half an hourter, Caesar raised his paw with his eyes shut and eximed, ¡°Wait, I...¡±

    Bam! Rakshasa did not bother listening to his exnation and pped Caesar using his metal paws. Caesar once again fainted with his tongue sticking out.

    Lucifer curled his lips in disgust as he witnessed this cruel scene unfolding before his eyes. He looked at the two cats lying on the floor and remarked, ¡°I think their faces are already swollen from all your beating.¡±

    Rakshasa beamed from ear to ear and answered proudly, ¡°This only means that it is effective.¡±

    Lucifer replied, ¡°Just now Ares wanted this cats to be unconscious for the next few days. Don¡¯t tell me that you ...¡±

    Rakshasa nodded his head and said, ¡°If boss wants them unconscious for the next few days, my job is to make sure that happens.¡±

    Meanwhile, Ares felt the two ragdoll¡¯s fur brushing against his body as they walked towards the phone. He could not help but look heavenward. A ray of light shed across his eyes as he whispered, ¡°God, you are too generous!¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao, was who busy having dinner, was taken aback by the abrupt notification on his mission panel.

    Ares had epted your leadership and you have received 300X2 experience points from it.

    ¡°?¡±

    ¡°What the hell is happening?¡± Zhao Yao could not help but switched to Dust Ball¡¯s ability and entered the extradimensional belly to find out what exactly was happening. A look of disdain was stered on his face as he left the belly.

    No matter what, Zhao Yao was still happy to see Ares submitting to his leadership. The best part about it was the experience points earned from it. Thebined experience points earned from Ares and thepletion of the mission to save Elizabeth¡¯s family had turned the BOOK to book: lv3 (2258/2000).

    Zhao Yao threw his hands in the air. It was finally time to upgrade his BOOK again

    Zhao Yao was blown away by the potential of adding Ares¡¯s power to his arsenal. Hence, he did not hesitate to pump the points to upgrade his BOOK.

    By upgrading his BOOK, Zhao Yao would be able to receive the power of one additional cat. He immediately retreated to his bedroom and shut his doors. Instantly, the BOOK had turned into lv4(258/5000).

    During the process, Zhao Yao felt his entire body freezing for a moment as he copsed on the floor. Every ounce of muscle and bone in his body began vibrating violently. Cold sweat beaded his forehead and he opened his mouth wide as he struggled to take in the oxygen from his surroundings.

    Just when he thought his body was about to rupture from the transformation, the force finally vanished from his body.

    The next moment, a glimmer of light shed across his eyes and he felt better than ever.

    He had finally received the boost in powers from Dust Ball, further enhancing the effects of ¡°Two is better than one¡±.

    However, because of Dust Ball¡¯s dwarfism, Zhao Yao¡¯s physical strength did not receive a significant boost.

    But his observation skills receive a stark improvement as he hadbined the observation skills of three cats. His five senses, sense of awareness and instincts were unparalleled.

    He felt that every fiber of muscle and bone in his body were working directly under his control. His mastery over his body had surpassed every human and cat in the world.

 Chapter 201: The Fourth Cat

    <h4>Chapter 201: The Fourth Cat</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao¡¯s muscles, bones, and tendons did not receive a significant enhancement. However, he could better utilize and unleash his strength owing to his greater mastery over his body.

    By simply throwing a few punches in the air, he was able to produce a deafening sound from the sheer force produced by it.

    Each punch was infused with strength from his entire body condensed into an immeasurable force.

    Other than that, he could detect the movement of every single cat in his apartment by straining his ears.

    ¡°Roly Poly is still busy eating his dinner. Matcha has returned to his massage throne. Hmph ...This sound should be Elizabeth jumping onto the windowsill.¡± By shutting his eyes, the sounds had materialized into images in his head. Zhao Yao could visualize all the scenes in his apartment by simply listening to the sounds produced by them, ¡°Dust Ball and Mango are chasing each other around the apartment, Rice Cake ... hmph? Trying to use myputer?¡±

    Zhao Yao bolted out of his room with his index finger pointing straight at Rice Cake¡¯s forehead, ¡°What are you doing? Are you trying to use myputer without my permission?¡±

    Rice Cake stared at Zhao Yao with a look of disappointment and exined, ¡°I have yet to y yerUnknown¡¯s Battlegrounds for the entire day!¡± Since returning home, she had been eagerly anticipating Zhao Yao to switch on theputer and y the game. However, Zhao Yao was busy with other misceneous stuff and had yet to do so.

    Zhao Yao facepalmed himself and rested his forehead on his palm, ¡°How about you y the game on your own?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s energy was fixed in his BOOK and was not interested to y the game at all.

    An unknown energy surged through Rice Cake¡¯s body as her eyes shone with excitement, ¡°You ... You ... You are allowing me to y the game?¡±

    ¡°Why not?¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes, yes!¡±Rice Cake began jumping up and down and asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, what¡¯s your password?¡±

    A few secondster, Rice Cake was already seen in her battle position: both hind legs standing on the keyboard with her paws resting on the mouse. Her feet were constantly darting across the keyboard while the mouse zigzagged across the table. She had devoted all her attention to the game.

    Her screams grew louder and louder as the game continued, ¡°I¡¯ll kill you, I¡¯ll kill all of you! Meowhahaha, I¡± let you experience my wrath!¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head in disbelief as he looked at how excited Rice Cake got from ying the game. He then switched his attention back to his BOOK.

    Now that his BOOK had reached level 4 and he had received the power of ¡°Three is better than two¡±, it was time for him to add a new cat to his book toplete his main mission.

    There was no uncertainty as to which cat he would pick to add to his BOOK.

    However, adding Ares to his BOOK would not be as simple as adding Elizabeth and Dust Ball in the past.

    ....

    Inside the extradimensional belly, Caesar¡¯s eyelids started to quiver as he struggled to open his eyes. Caesar immediately raised his hands in the air to shield his head from the impending attack. A loud nk was heard as Caesar managed to intercept the British Shorthair¡¯s strike, but his paws immediately swelled to twice its original size from the attack.

    ¡°Can you please stop hitting my head?¡± Caesar quivered with indignation and shouted, ¡°I¡¯m already bleeding from all your smashing and pping.¡±

    Bam!

    With the use of his shockwave, F¨±jin had already sent his punch directly onto Caesar¡¯s face and immediately sent him into aa once again.

    ¡°You talk too much for your own good,¡± F¨±jin remarked as he puffed out a breath of air.

    At this moment, a blinding beam of light erupted from the heavens and attracted the attention of all the cats within the belly.

    Zhao Yao had already altered the supercats¡¯ 5 senses and had instantly appeared next to Ares. Zhao Yao was extremely quick in his actions as he could not allow Ares time to use his power to repel Zhao Yao¡¯s power of illusion.

    By altering their 5 senses, Ares did not even realize Zhao Yao had already captured him in his arms and was being brought away. He, like the other cats, was simply staring in awe at this magnificent scene. This extraordinary beam of light which had descended from the heavens had left the supercats in awe.

    Diana stared at it with her jaws ck and asked, ¡°Brother Ares, what is this?¡±

    ¡°Little girl, I am God.¡±

    As Zhao Yao¡¯s words rang in their heads, the world in front of them began to transform. The containers and steel walls in their vision had disappeared. In their ce was a vast sea engulfed in a beautiful white sky.

    The two ragdolls¡¯ pupils dted as they witnessed the radical transformation. They could smell the fragrance of the flowers and could feel the gentle breeze blowing across their cheeks. They looked at each other and thought, ¡°Elizabeth¡¯s illusion can only alter the sense of sight and sound. Is this guy really capable of transforming this entire world?

    Is he ... really a God?¡±

    The two ragdolls were hardly able to breathe as they could not believe their eyes. Meanwhile, Ares andpany were somewhat used to this and were less affected by this magnificent sight.

    Ares asked, ¡°Today isn¡¯t the day for our weekly missions, so why are you here?¡±

    ¡°Are you kidding?¡± Zhao Yao burst intoughter and said, ¡°I am God! I can do whatever I want!¡±

    ¡°Tsk!¡± Ares rolled his eyes and thought, ¡°What ame person.¡±

    ¡°Are you trying to scold me in your head?¡±

    Ares¡¯s chest tightened with fear as he stared at Zhao Yao and asked,¡± You.... You... you can read my mind?¡±

    ¡°Obviously! There is nothing too difficult for me, God.¡± Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Even a retard could guess your thoughts by looking at your face.¡±

    ¡°So what¡¯s your reason foring over today?¡± Ares retorted, ¡°Is there another mission for us again?¡¯

    ¡°I¡¯m not here to give you another mission. Instead, I have something good for you.¡± As he spoke, a trickle of golden fluid started dripping from the beam of light and it floated in front of Ares¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°This is the Essence of God. You would receive a significant boost in strength by swallowing this.¡±

    The supercats in the belly looked at the fluid in amazement when they heard Zhao Yao¡¯s exnation. As awakened supercats, they were all concerned with their individual powers. Any word on improving their strength and power would definitely get their attention.

    However, they were skeptical as to whether this golden fluid was truly capable of enhancing their strength and powers.

    ¡°Increase my strength?¡± Ares asked with a look of disbelief, ¡°Why are you doing this for us?¡±

    ¡°You guys are too weak! You might not have what it takes to ovee the remaining challenges I have in store for you if you remain like this. Hence, I decided to endow you with this!¡± Zhao Yao continued, ¡°I have decided to start with you! After swallowing the Essence of God, you will immediately receive a boost in strength!¡±

    Ares stared hesitantly at this unknown golden fluid floating in front of him. He recalled the atrocities that Zhao Yao hadmitted all these while and doubted if it was truly as effective as Zhao Yao had described. Ares suspected that there was going to be some side effects as well.

    However, he had no choice. He stared at Lucifer, F¨±jin, Rakshasa, and Gaia in the distance.

    Lucifer was frantically shouting via their shared consciousness, ¡°Ares! Do not eat it! You have no idea what tricks this guy has up his sleeve!¡±

    F¨±jin shouted, ¡°Boss, let me eat it! You should not take this risk!¡±

    Ares simply rolled his shoulders andughed, ¡°I am your leader. At this critical juncture, I bear the responsibility to consume this.¡±

    As he spoke, he stared at the fluid as if he was staring death in its eyes. He stretched opened his mouth and swallowed the fluid in one go.

    In the real world, Zhao Yao was carefully dripping the blood on his fingers into Ares¡¯s outstretched mouth.

    Ares could only feel the liquid flowing down the back of his throat and into his stomach. Suddenly... Suddenly, the sensation had disappeared.

    On the other hand, Zhao Yao was beaming from ear to ear as he stared at the contents of his BOOK. He had finally added the fourth cat to his BOOK ¨C Ares.

    Pet(4/4): Ares

    Level:lv1£¨0/10£©

    Loyalty:60

    Ability:Deflective Field- With his body as the epicenter, Ares can repel any sorts of matter from his deflective field

    ¡°Oh, his loyalty points is actually 60? I guess this is only attributed to him regarding me as God and not who I actually am. He does not even know my true identity.¡±

    At the same time, the main mission of his BOOK had reached level 4 and he received the 500X2 experience points for adding the fourth cat to his BOOK. Currently, the BOOK read lv4(1258/5000).

    There was also a slight change to his main mission.

    Main mission: Acquire new strength by adding new cats to the BOOK

    Objective: Upgrade the BOOK to level 5 and add the fifth cat to the BOOK

    Reward: 1000 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    Staring at Ares¡¯s page on the book, Zhao Yao took a deep breath and immediately pumped 1110 points into Ares and instantly upgraded him to level 4.

 Chapter 202: Time To Level Up!

    <h4>Chapter 202: Time To Level Up!</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Three ability branches simultaneously appeared as Ares upgraded from level 1 to level 4.

    The first ability branches which Zhao Yao had to choose from were between increasing the range or increasing the upper limit of the deflective field.

    Simply put, if the original deflective field was capable of withstanding the damage of a single rocket. By increasing the upper limit, the field would be capable of withstanding the damage of twobined rockets.

    Even though Zhao Yao had no clue as to the original upper limit of the deflective field or how strong it could potentially be after increasing its limit, Zhao Yao did not hesitate but tap on the option.

    After increasing the upper limit of the deflective field, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes immediately darted towards the next ability branches. The second ability branches to choose from were to either infuse the deflective field with the element of fire or ice.

    This meant that opponents would either be scalded by the fire or frozen by the ice when they were in contact with the deflective field.

    ¡°Oh, this means that I will be able to inflict damage either by burning or freezing the opponent?¡± Zhao Yao propped his chin on his hand as he carefully weighed the options, ¡°The power of fire would inflict greater damage, but I can better control my opponent with the power of freezing.¡±

    After a round of careful deliberation, Zhao Yao finally set his mind on the power of freezing. The deflective field in itself had the potential to bring about devastating damage with its power of expansion and contraction. By coupling it with the power of fire, it would only enhance its offensive power by a little. Furthermore, Zhao Yao had no idea how hard it was to control it.

    On the other hand, the power of freezing would grant him the ability to control his opponent, thus improving the potential for this ability.

    After making his second decision, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes finally rested on thest ability branches. Based on his experience upgrading Matcha, Elizabeth and Dust Ball, he knew that the third ability branch would endow him an extraordinarily strong power.

    Zhao Yao took a nce and the options did not disappoint him.

    The two ability branches could potentially grant him the power to infuse his deflective field with lightning properties or the ability to alter the deflective field¡¯s shape and size.

    The lightning properties were simr to the power of burning and freezing as any individual who made contact with his deflective field would be electrocuted by a strong surge of current.

    The ability to alter the deflective field¡¯s size and shape allowed Zhao Yao to turn it into any shape he desired as long as they stayed within 5 meters from the epicenter of the field.

    Zhao Yao contemted, ¡°With the power of lightning, I could simultaneously attack and control my opponent. It would be significantly stronger than the power of freezing. As for the ability to alter the shape of the deflective field ...¡±

    Currently, the extent to which Zhao Yao could alter his deflective field was limited to changing its size. He could either erge it to form a sphere of radius 5 meters or reduce it to a size which just encapsted his entire body. To a certain extent, Zhao Yao could already alter the deflective field¡¯s size and shape but it was a far crypared to what it could possibly achieve.

    ¡°If I can alter its shape, I can mold it into the shape of a shield? Or a spear, or even a sword? No, I need to be even more imaginative.¡± A glimmer of brilliance shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes, ¡°The innate power of deflective field could interrupt and defy thew of physics. By transforming it to any shape or size which I deem fit, the potential of its offensive and defensive powers would be limited by my imagination.

    I could turn it into a saw or scissors or even a drill. This can increase the field¡¯s destructive powers.

    I could also turn it intoyers of shield, walls or even Gundam. This will increase the field¡¯s defensive powers.¡±

    Rtive to the lightning power, Zhao Yao was enthralled by the potential of the ability to mold the shape and size of his deflective field.

    He enthusiastically pressed his finger against the option.

    After a series of upgrades, there were a few significant changes to the contents of his BOOK.

    book: lv4(148/5000)

    Matcha: lv4 (1020/2000)

    Elizabeth: lv4 (260/2000)

    Dust Ball: lv5 (150/5000)

    Ares: lv4 (0/2000)

    Meanwhile, the other cats in the belly were staring expectantly at Ares. Their expressions wereplex and convoluted. Some were worried, while others were excited. Some looked on curiously while others lowered their head in fear.

    Finally, Lucifer shattered the silence by asking, ¡°What happened? How do you feel?¡±

    The Siamese cat, F¨±jin, asked, ¡°Boss, do you feel stronger than before?¡±

    His brows snapped together as Ares tried his best to detect any changes in his body. However, he could not even sense a tinge of difference.

    He shook his head in disappointment before cocking his head upwards and started shouting towards the heavens, ¡°Hey, why do I feel the same as before?¡±

    Zhao Yao curled his lips and replied, ¡°You have already gotten stronger but you do not know it. Let me teach you how to unleash your new found strength.¡±

    As he spoke, the red glimmer of light shed across his eyes and he took control of Ares¡¯s body. He immediately activated Ares¡¯s power of deflective field.

    Zhao Yao ensured that the deflective field did not interrupt his power of illusion by altering the effects of the field.

    Under the watchful gaze of the other supercats, an invisible strength started erupting from Ares¡¯s body.

    ¡°Firstly, your defensive powers have improved radically. You will experience it in future fights. Next, I have infused your deflective fields with the ability of freezing. Finally, you can also alter the shape of your deflective field as long as they fall within the 5 meters radius.¡±

    Under Zhao Yao¡¯s control, Ares reached out his paws and the deflective field had morphed into the shape of a sharp katana. The field slowly ascended from the surface of Ares¡¯s paws.

    Bybing the original simple power of repulsion with its katana shape, Zhao Yao had unleashed the true potential of Ares¡¯s power as it had evolved into an immeasurable cutting force.

    With the use of his illusion, a rock appeared in front of Ares. With a gentle swipe of his paw, the invisible katana danced along to the movements and had instantly sliced the rock into pebbles as if they were tofu.

    Ares stared at his power as his face lit up, ¡°This is so cool! My offensive powers have increased by a few folds!¡±

    ¡°That would be an understatement. From now on, you can turn your deflective field into any shape or size which you desire. Yourbat power is limited by your imagination. You will have countless weapons in your arsenal.¡±

    As he spoke, Zhao Yao had transformed Ares¡¯s deflective field into the shape of a rope. It sprang out like a snake and had wrapped itself around Lucifer¡¯s body in the blink of an eye. Then, it activated its freezing power.

    ¡°Quick... quick... quick... quickly let go of me!¡± Lucifer was shivering in cold and was on the verge of turning into an ice sculpture.

    Finally, Zhao Yao released Lucifer and said, ¡°Alright, it¡¯s time for you to master your new power.¡±

    Zhao Yao had already left the belly after making his statement and had released the supercats from the influence of his illusion.

    In their eyes, they were flooded by a blinding light and had once again returned to the container. Simultaneously, Zhao Yao¡¯s voice echoed in the ears.

    ¡°Use your new power to shatter the iron wall standing in front of you, I have prepared a new ce for all of you.¡±

    Zhao Yao had decided to store these supercats inside the container for good. However, it was getting a bit cramped for all eight of them to stay there.

    Ares¡¯s eyes sparkled with excitement as he stared at his palms. An invisible power was constantly evolving and mutating in his hands.

    The other supercats stared on in envy. All of them also wanted to receive a boost in strength.

    Ares¡¯s mouth curled into a smile when he heard Zhao Yao¡¯s words. His paws tightened into fists as he sent a punch skyward.

    ¡°Iron Palm Wave!¡±

    Two enormous yet invisible palms floated in mid-air. Just like the previous strike, it was not a simple attack which made use of the concept of expansion and contraction. By utilizing his ability to transform his deflective field, Ares had produced a field bybiningyers andyers of it as he sent them skywards. A deafening explosion was heard as the giant palms tore the container apart. The true appearance of the extradimensional belly finallyid bare in front of the supercats¡¯ eyes.

    The remaining supercats stared at the scene dumbfounded. Firstly, their expressions were filled with shock before they gradually turned into envy.

    They yearned for the Essence of God. They wanted to be stronger.

    Zhao Yao decided to take a look at the situation inside the extradimensional belly and was greeted by the scene of Ares eximing the words of iron palm wave. He could not help but roll his eyes.

    As Ares shattered the container to pieces, Zhao Yao was alerted to the notification from his BOOK.

    Both Lucifer and the British Shorthair, Rakshasa, had epted his leadership which gave him 200X2 experience points.

    A smile tugged at his lips as he thought, ¡°In a few days, I will be able to upgrade Matcha. Hmph, I must also think of some way to increase Ares¡¯s loyalty to me. Let me take a look, I think I managed to raise his loyalty to 80 points after demonstrating his new found power from the Essence of God.¡±

    With the thought at the back of his head, Zhao Yao decided to do some online shopping and find an opportunity to reward the cats in the belly with some phones.

    ¡°If I continue to develop and expand the extradimensional belly, and sessfully manage to expand it by upgrading Dust Ball, I might be able to construct the true heaven for supercats ¨C the vige of dreams.¡±

    The smile remained stered on Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he continued daydreaming. Meanwhile, following Lucifer and Rakshasa¡¯s submission, all five supercats from Ho Hao Cang had finally submitted to Zhao Yao¡¯s leadership. The original mission to educate them had disappeared. In its ce was a brand new mission.

    Cat Chain Mission (1): I announce the inauguration of cat nation from today onwards!

    Objective: To expand and improve the extradimensional belly until it bes the first sovereignnd for cat nation. Firstly, you have to increase the cat poption until there are 10 cats inside it. Current status: 9/10

    Reward: 100 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    ¡°Isn¡¯t this ... just a chain quest like those in MMORPG games?¡± Zhao Yao squinted his eyes and thought, ¡°This is simr to my current daily missions as there are a few segments to it.¡± Based on his wealth of experience ying all sorts of games during his college days, Zhao Yao understood that the reward for the mission would only increase as he proceeded to theter stages of the chain missions.

    The mission to establish the cat nation should also follow this pattern.

    ¡°This is extremely intriguing. Is the mission on my BOOK rted to my opinion and thoughts?¡± Zhao Yao could not wait but kick start this mission to establish his cat empire. Just the thought of creating and dedicated to his supercats could send him jumping around with joy.

    Now, Zhao Yao had a total of four missions to attend to. Firstly he had to upgrade his BOOK and add a new cat to it.

    Secondly, his daily mission required him toplete 5 tasks: y, feed, train, walk and cuddle the cats.

    Thirdly, the monthly mission needed him to rake in as much profit as possible from his cat caf¨¦.

    Fourthly, he had to establish a cat nation bypleting all the missions from the chain missions.

    ¡°Speaking of which, why are there nine supercats inside my extradimensional belly?¡± Zhao Yao put his head in his hands and finally recalled, ¡°D*mn it, I almost forgot about the Pas¡¯s cat. Thankfully, Ares did not tear open the contents in the other two containers.¡±

    Since releasing Ares andpany from their original container, Zhao Yao had naturally decided to retrieve the toys he stashed in the other containers and pass it to them. However, he just remembered that the Pas¡¯s cat was kept in one of them.

    With the thought etched at the back of his head, Zhao Yao immediately stretched open his mouth and started expelling a huge Pas¡¯s cat from his mouth.

    The cat fell to the floor with a loud thud. Immediately, he began to arch his back and puffed his fur, making him twice his original size. His eyes darted around frantically and he slid his surroundings a guarded look.

    Zhao Yao could not help but to pat him on his head when he noticed how distraught he was, ¡°Alright, alright, everything¡¯s fine. I have taken you out of that ce.¡±

    The Pas¡¯s cat could not believe his eyes and stared at Zhao Yao with his jaws ck, ¡°It¡¯s you?¡±

    Immediately, he began to look around and scrutinized his surroundings. Suddenly, he started jumping up and down and eximed, ¡°Am I out? Am I really out of that ce?¡±

    Zhao Yao was somewhat confused and was left speechless by how excited he became, ¡°Do you really have to start jumping all around my apartment?¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t say? Try cooping yourself up in a cage for twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week.¡± The Pas¡¯s cat pranced towards Zhao Yao¡¯s bed before settling himself in a mostfortable position. His brief rest was cut short when Zhao Yao immediately kicked him off the bed.

    ¡°Who told you that you are allowed toe up my bed?¡± Zhao Yao retorted. Deep down, he understood why Dr. Liu had to restrain him in the small confines of a cage. With his menacing looks and human-like intelligence, it was impossible for a normal human like Dr. Liu to control him.

    ¡°Petty man!¡± The Pas¡¯ cat curled his lips in indignance, ¡°Oh yes, since you have set me free, you will have to grant me three wishes.¡±

    ¡°?¡± Zhao Yao was stunned by his unreasonable request, ¡°What did you just say? I think I heard some bullshit.¡±

    ¡°Grant me three wishes,¡± The Pas¡¯s cat dered unabashedly, ¡°Let¡¯s start by giving me RMB 10,000,000. Then, you can be my servant for the rest of my life. I¡¯ll tell you my third wish when Ie up with something.¡±

    Zhao Yao simply raised his leg and sent him flying out of the room. The Pas¡¯s cat tumbled and rolled down the corridor and only stopped when he reached the middle of the living room.

    ¡°This d*mn cat. Hmph, I think Dr. Liu has already ended work since it¡¯s already sote. I guess I just have to keep him here for one night before returning him to Dr. Liu the first thing tomorrow morning.¡± Zhao Yao rested his forehead on his palm and thought, ¡°At the end of the day, this cat still belongs to Dr. Liu. Furthermore, she definitely has no intentions ofmitting anything evil with this cat. There is no incentive for me to keep him around. If I really keep him with me, there is nothing stopping me from feeding him with shit if I¡¯m forced to look at his hideous face all day.¡±

    The Pas¡¯s cat stood on his feet and lifted his shoulder in a half shrug. He shook his fur andmented, ¡°You did not have to resort to physical violence. I am an endangered species which is extremely precious and I do not deserve to be treated in that manner.¡±

    Mango and Dust Ball who were previously busy ying around had noticed his appearance and started gathering around the Pas¡¯s cat. Both of them gave him a curious nce and asked, ¡°What kind of cat are you?¡±

    Dust Ball had been intrigued by this cat since Zhao Yao stashed him away in her extradimensional belly.

    ¡°Can you stop referring to me as a cat? I am a Pas. My hereditary traces back all the way to the family of the ferocious tigers.¡± He immediately puffed up his hair and erected all his fur to stand on their ends. His furry body had instantaneously transformed into a sea urchin, scaring the shit out of Mango and Dust Ball.

    ¡°You are a tiger?¡± Dust Ball¡¯s voice trembled as she stared at the Pas¡¯s cat from head to toe.

    The Pas¡¯s cat simply shook his fur haughtily and announced arrogantly, ¡°I¡¯m a special kind of tiger. My species is a lot more vicious and brutal than the ordinary tigers you know. Back in my heyday when I was roaming around the vast desert ins, I could easily tear a tiger¡¯s throat apart with a simple swipe of my paw.¡±

    ¡°Huh?!¡± Dust Ball¡¯s eyes beamed in admiration, ¡°You have lived in the desert ins?¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t say?¡± The Pas¡¯s cat continued bragging, ¡°We, the Pas, are the natural rulers of the vast desert ins and the Gobi desert. I owned acres and acres ofnds and was free to roam around wherever I want. Rabbits, coyotes, oxen, and goats had to kneel down to me when they saw me.

    Dust Ball¡¯s eyes flickered in admiration as shemented, ¡°So cool!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s so sad that you city cats have it so easily.¡± The Pas¡¯s cat eyes drifted from Matcha to Roly Poly. He could not help but shook his head andmented, ¡°I would have torn all of you to pieces if we were in the Gobi desert.¡±

    Suddenly, Rice Cake¡¯s ears began to quiver. She cocked his head towards him and sneered, ¡°If you are really so strong, what brings you to Zhao Yao¡¯s apartment?¡± She had previously witnessed Zhao Yao force feeding him shit and did not believe a single word he said.

    ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s all because I killed too many people and they resorted to sending the army to capture me.¡± The Pas¡¯s cat looked skyward and recalled, ¡°It was an epic battle. I was able to annihte the toons of Special Forces soldiers that they threw at me. The tanks were also no match for my paws. They could not win against me in a conventional fight and started bombing me using their fighter jets. After surviving on sand and dust for seven days, my body finally faltered from the exhaustion.¡±

    Just when the cats were engrossed in hispelling story, Zhao Yao had sent him flying off with a kick on his butt.

    ¡°Stop spreading your stupid lies. It¡¯s time for dinner. I¡¯ll bring you back to the hospital tomorrow morning. I don¡¯t want Dr. Liu to me me for not taking good care of you.¡±

    Roly Poly had furtively crept up to the Pas¡¯s cat side and asked excitedly, ¡°Big brother, why don¡¯t you bite Zhao Yao?¡±

    The Pas¡¯s cat shook his fur and announced, ¡°What do you know? This method allows me to lower his guards. So what if I have to endure a few kicks from him? In the middle of the night, I¡¯ll send him back to where he came from ...¡±

 Chapter 204: The Hospital and the Mission

    <h4>Chapter 204: The Hospital and the Mission</h4>

    When night came, Zhao Yao used his illusion to trick the cats into entering the extradimensional belly. However, he was not able toplete the first of his chain missions.

    Evidently, the poption for cat nation was calcted based on permanent residents and not one-off visitors. Hence, instead ofpleting his mission, his cat poption had dropped to 8/10 with the departure of the Pas¡¯s cat.

    ¡°Hmph, why is the Pas¡¯s cat included in the cat poption? The poption size will also be affected when the cat leaves the belly.¡±

    After rounds of experimenting and analyzing, Zhao Yao finally concluded that a minimum stay was required for the cats to be included in the census.

    He had considered bringing the cats in his caf¨¦ into the belly. However, he gave up the thought as he realized that it would be a bad idea for them to stay permanently with Ares and friends.

    ...

    On the second day, the Pas¡¯ cat stood obediently at the doorstep with his face covered in bruises. Zhao Yao waved his hand in the air and the Pas¡¯s catplied ordingly, obediently entering Zhao Yao¡¯s cat bag. Things went smoothly as Zhao Yao brought him all the way to Starry Starry Pet Hospital and into Dr. Liu¡¯s office.

    Throughout the journey, the Pas¡¯ cat tried to convince Zhao Yao to release him into the wilderness instead of returning him to the hospital. Pleas were followed by verbal tirades.

    Once inside her office, Zhao Yao carefully ced the cat bag on the table and unzipped the bag, revealing the Pas¡¯s cat. Zhao Yao said, ¡°Fortunately, I¡¯ve managed to return the cat back to you unscathed. However, I have one suggestion for you: do not coop him in a cage all day.¡±

    Her lips parted when she noticed the cat. She did not expect Zhao Yao to be able to find and return her the cat. Upon hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s words, she could not help but lowered her head in embarrassment, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I also do not wish to coop him inside the cage all day. However, he has done some bad things which ... which terrifies me.¡±

    ¡°I understand,¡± Zhao Yao could only nod his head as he was at a loss for words.

    Dr. Liu continued exining, ¡°Two months ago, one of my customers left him at my pet hospital. However, I was afraid that he might startle the other cats and hence decided to bring him back to my apartment.

    But I did not expect this cat to have such a foul temper. He ripped apart the furniture at my house and made a mess. I was always a victim during his mini rampages.¡±

    She rolled up her sleeves to reveal a series of scars.

    The Pas¡¯s cat craned his neck out of the cat bag and retorted, ¡°Bullshit! nder! She is tantly lying!¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately pressed his head and squeezed him back into the cat bag. Zhao Yao empathized with her predicament and understood how dangerous this cat was aspared to a normal domestic cat. It was extremely difficult for a woman like Dr. Liu to take care of him.

    ¡°Initially, I could still put up with his violent behavior but he has grown stranger and stranger over the past month,¡± Dr. Liu continued, ¡°In the middle of the night, he would stand at the side of my bed and stare at me as if I¡¯m a te of raw meat.¡±

    ¡°I was just trying to protect her,¡± The Pas¡¯s cat once again jerked his head out of the cat bag and shouted.

    ¡°Sometimes he even has a mysterious smile on his face when he stares at me. It is the kind of smile that you can only find in a horror movie.¡±

    ¡°It is just a normal smile! The most harmless and cheerful smile!¡±

    ¡°Previously, when I switched on my phone, I realized that someone had tried to ess my phone and the photo of the culprit was taken. Do you want to guess who¡¯s behind it?¡±

    ¡°I identally tapped on her phone, I¡¯ve already said it was an ident!¡±

    Zhao Yao twirled a finger next to his temple andmented, ¡°I truly understand what you¡¯re experiencing.¡± He understood that not everyone could adapt to living alongside a cat with human-like intelligence.

    Some owners would be over the moon if they couldmunicate with their pets. However, some would find this phenomenon weird and might even develop fear towards them.

    That¡¯s because they only wanted a simple pet, a pet that would bask in their love for them. They did not want a pet that shared simr intelligence with them and had razor-sharp teeth and ws.

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°I understand. This was why you decided to put him inside the pet hospital and restrained him inside a cage, with a cloth draping over it.¡±

    ¡°I was left with no choice. The customer originally said that he would only be here for two days. In the end, I¡¯ve been taking care of him for the past month,¡± She simmered with anger as sheined, ¡°I¡¯ve really been exploited by my customer. I¡¯m going to demand apensation when I see her.¡±

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao noticed a gigantic golden exmation mark floating beside Dr. Liu¡¯s face. His right eyebrow shot up and he asked concernedly, ¡°Dr. Liu, is there anything I can do to help you?¡±

    Dr. Liu raised her head and stared at Zhao Yao before shaking her head, ¡°It¡¯s okay, I can handle this on my own.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s enthusiasm did not wane as he continued asking, ¡°Are you sure? You can always find me if you have any problems.¡±

    Dr. Liu thought about it before replying, ¡°There is something rather troublesome but I cannot give you anything in return.¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately replied, ¡°It¡¯s alright, I enjoy doing things and helping others. I¡¯m willing to do this for free.¡±

    ¡°Could you kindly give the dogs in the hospital a bath?¡± Dr. Liu pleaded with her palms tightly sped together, ¡°The cleaningdy responsible for this had returned to her vige. The dogs have not showered for weeks and the stench is unbearable.¡±

    Zhao Yao was left speechless by her request. Even though Dr. Liu had already entrusted him with a job but the mission was not reflected on his mission panel. Evidently, this was not the mission.

    ¡°Giving the dogs a bath is too simple. Do you have something even more problematic in mind?¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you were willing to help out in any way possible?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m willing to do anything other than giving the dogs a bath.¡±

    ¡°In that case, can you help me clean the toilet? The cleaningdy is also responsible for the cleanliness of the toilets.¡±

    Zhao Yao could not help but roll his eyes, ¡°Other than simple sanitary things, do you have anything more troubling and challenging? Please, I would not mind if it is something dangerous.¡±

    Dr. Liu considered Zhao Yao¡¯s words seriously before her eyes drifted towards the Pas¡¯s cat, ¡°Actually, there is something that has been troubling me. The customer who left this cat with me gave me a call in the morning and asked me to deliver him back to her. However, this cat is so scary and heavy. I don¡¯t think I can deliver him over to her alone.¡±

    Dr. Liu shook her head in disappointment and said, ¡°Furthermore, I do not wish to do this extra job of sending her cat over after she left him here for over a month. Even though she promised me RMB 5,000, I can no longer trust her after what she did.¡±

    She curled her lips in annoyance and continued, ¡°It would be great if you can help me deliver the cat back to her and collect the money from her.¡±

    The corners of his mouth quirked up when Zhao Yao heard Dr. Liu¡¯s words. He thought, ¡°Finally, a legitimate mission!¡±

    Mission: Return the cat to his rightful owner

    Objective: Return the Pas¡¯s cat to his owner. Additional reward would be given if you sessfully collect the RMB 5,000

    Reward: 100 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    Naturally, Zhao Yao did not hesitate but ept the mission.

    Zhao Yao quickly zipped up the cat bag and proceeded to the location provided by Dr. Liu. This was the address the owner gave Dr. Liu in the morning.

    Zhao Yao entered a condominium and took a lift to the tenth floor before reaching the apartment, 1006.

    Knock! Knock! Knock!

    The door finally opened ajar after rounds of knocking. Zhao Yao could make out a human figure standing behind the door but could only see a pair of eyes through the tiny gap. He mustered his most courteous and patient voice, ¡°I¡¯m here to deliver the Pas¡¯s cat. Are you the owner?¡±

    The door slowly swung open and revealed an extremely skinny and paledy.

    The most distinct feature of this youngdy was not her physical appearance but rather how cool she looked and behaved. She bore an uncanny resemnce to those Japanese porcin dolls.

    Zhao Yao ced the bag in front of her and said, ¡°Does it belong to you?¡±

    Inside the bag, the Pas¡¯s cat was shouting at the top of his voice, ¡°Meowhahaha, I¡¯m finally back! Open the bag and let me out now!¡±

    Thedy nced at Zhao Yao and nodded her head. She replied coolly, ¡°Thanks.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head and tried to broach the topic of RMB 5,000, ¡°Dr. Liu said that ...¡±

    Bam! Thedy immediately mmed the door shut in Zhao Yao¡¯s face and did not even bother listening to what he had to say.

    ¡°That was uncalled for,¡± Zhao Yao frowned and considered knocking on the door again.

    Suddenly, the Pas¡¯s cat¡¯s screams erupted from the apartment.

 Chapter 205: Owe Money Pay Money

    <h4>Chapter 205: Owe Money Pay Money</h4>

    Zhao Yao mumbled as he heard the cat¡¯s ear-splitting shrieks, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with this silly cat? Why is he making a fuss again?¡±

    However, he remembered that his job was not yetplete. Hence, he raised his hand in the air and began knocking on the door.

    ¡°Excuse me, Miss. I think you have forgotten about something.¡±

    Inside the apartment, a man pointed his katana at the pale-looking girl who had previously opened the door for Zhao Yao. Beside him stood a mature woman who sported a pixie cut. At her feetid the Pas¡¯s cat which had been knocked unconscious.

    The mature woman¡¯s forehead puckered together as she remarked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with that guy? Why is he still here?¡±

    The man who had the katana in his hand asked, ¡°Do you need me to get rid of him?¡±

    The woman gave a dismissive wave of her hand and replied, ¡°Do not kill him. We definitely do not want the Chinese government to be on our tails. We¡¯ll just wait it out. I¡¯m sure he¡¯ll leave soon.¡±

    The pair of man and woman conversed in Japanese throughout the entire conversation.

    Both of them finally heaved a sigh of relief as the incessant knocking came to an end. Just when they thought that Zhao Yao had left, a deafening st erupted from the door. Someone was trying to knock the door down with a barrage of kicks.

    ¡°Asshole! Where is the RMB 5,000 that you promised Dr. Liu?¡±

    Bam!

    ¡°You left your cat at the pet hospital for such a long time and you cannot even fork out RMB 5,000 aspensation?¡±

    Bam!

    ¡°Neighbours in this estatee out and judge for yourself. Do you think she should fork out the RMB 5,000 which she has promised?¡±

    Bam!

    mes of anger shot through the man as he listened to themotion, ¡°This stupid Chinese man!¡± He immediately marched towards the door and it seemed like he was about to take action against Zhao Yao.

    The mature woman with the pixie cut immediately came forth and stopped him in his tracks, ¡°No, his shouting has already attracted the attention of the residents here. You cannot do anything rash now.¡±

    His temple throbbed with rage as he retorted, ¡°Then what are we supposed to do? We can¡¯t let him continue making so much noise and attract so much attention!¡±

    Thedy with the pixie cut nced at the pale-looking girl and said, ¡°You will shout from where you are and tell him to wait because you need some time to get the money.¡±

    The pale-looking girl did not utter a single word but simply shot a frosty look at the woman with the pixie cut.

    The man gently pressed his katana against her neck and said coolly, ¡°Speak.¡±

    Left with no options, the girl finally opened her mouth and shouted as instructed, ¡°I know! I¡¯ll be getting the money now! Please wait awhile!¡±

    Zhao Yao eximed, ¡°Tsk. Why do I always have to resort to violence to get things done? A young woman like you shouldn¡¯t have picked up the bad habit of owing others money. I¡¯m telling you that youngsters like you should be out there earning money instead of staying at home and waiting for money to fall from the sky.¡±

    The man and woman finally breathed a sigh of relief when Zhao Yao stopped ramming the door.

    The woman who sported the pixie cut was Mami Nanami. She shot a cold re at the girl and said, ¡°Hanako, just give him the RMB 5,000 that he asked for.¡±

    The girl who was referred to as Hanako stared at the pair of man and woman and said, ¡°But I don¡¯t have so much cash at home.¡±

    Mami Nanami immediately cocked her head towards the man with the katana and asked, ¡°Shuichi, how much money do you have with you?¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± The man who was referred to as Shuichi was bbergasted by her question and replied, ¡°I do not bring any cash along when I¡¯m out for missions. How about we give him the money over bank transfer?¡±

    Her pulse mmed in her neck as she retorted, ¡°Are you bloody stupid? Are you trying to purposely leave behind a trail of evidence by transferring money using our own bank ount?¡±

    She was quickly interrupted by the familiar knocking on the door.

    Zhao Yao shouted, ¡°Hey, are you done yet? I¡¯m telling you that it¡¯s impossible for you to default on this payment. I can stay right here and wait for you until youe out. Your only way out is to give me the money you promised Dr. Liu. Youngdy, do you hear me? I¡¯ll call the police if you refuse to give me the money.¡±

    Anger swelled up in Mami Nanami as she shouted, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with this f*cker?¡± Even though she knew that she was fully capable of taking that guy down, she was furious that she had to put up with all this bullshit so as to attract less attention.

    With the thought at the back of her head, she tilted her head towards the pale-looking Hanako and said, ¡°Go and open the door and lure him into the apartment.¡±

    Hanako¡¯s pupils dted slightly as she craned her neck towards Mami and shouted, ¡°What are you trying to do!¡±

    Mami¡¯s mouth curled into a smile as she sneered, ¡°What do you think? I¡¯ve already given him a chance. I cannot help it if he wishes to die so badly.¡±

    ¡°You should have done this long ago!¡± The man with the katana cheered as he pressed his katana against Hanako¡¯s back. His pair of eyes emanated a vicious aura as he whispered, ¡°Quickly, go now.¡±

    Hanako immediately answered, ¡°You cannot do this. The police will discover what you have done. The Chinese police are extremely efficient. You will not be able to bring me back to Japan if youmit murder here. You guys don¡¯t have to kill him, you can just knock him out. An unconscious man will not interfere with your ns.¡±

    Hanako sensed the hesitation in Mami¡¯s eyes and immediately continued with her persuasion, ¡°How about this, let me go out and talk to him. I¡¯ll convince him to leave the ce now.¡±

    Shuichi stood at the side and responded, ¡°Mami, you cannot trust her. The best solution is to kill the r*tard standing at the door and then keep his corpse in the fridge. We would already be back in Japan by the time they discover his body.¡±

    Mami shook her head and said, ¡°Hanako, do not try anything funny. We will not hesitate to kill you if we fail to bring you back to Japan.¡±

    As she spoke, she raised her index finger skywards and a tiny me burned at the tip of it.

    Cold sweat beaded her forehead when Hanako witnessed this incredible sight. She thought, ¡°Is this the power of the devil? How did Mami receive this power?¡±

    Evidently, Hanako was the Pas¡¯s cat¡¯s owner. Previously, the Pas¡¯s cat did not reveal his superpower or intelligence to her. Hence, she was clueless about the world of supercats and superpower. This was why she regarded Mami¡¯s ability as the power belonging to the devil.

    Hanako nodded her head and agreed.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao grew impatient and started kicking against the door, ¡°Are you done yet? I¡¯ll have to knock this door down if you don¡¯te out! Can you at least open the door?¡± At the same time, his ears started to quiver and a thought shed across his head, ¡°Why do I keep hearing Japanese¡¯s voice? Don¡¯t tell me that she is watching a Japanese adult film which is why she¡¯s so embarrassed to open the door?¡±

    The door finally swung open when Zhao Yao was just about to ram it down. The pale-looking girl once again reappeared in Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes.

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao turned slightly embarrassed as he whispered, ¡°I wouldn¡¯t have made so much noise if you would just open the door. You obviously have to pay the RMB 5,000 after leaving your cat at the pet hospital for such a long time. I know that you are in the midst of watching some adult film. Trust me, I will not tell anyone about it.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, I did not mean to make things so inconvenient for you.¡± The girl tried her best to not roll her eyes as she bowed in apology.

    ¡°Hey, hey, you don¡¯t have to do this.¡± Zhao Yao was taken aback when he noticed something on the back of her head. Somehow, there was a golden exmation mark floating behind her head.

    ¡°What¡¯s the meaning of this?¡± Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Is this the opponent¡¯s mission? Am I supposed toe up with a method to help her default on her payment? This is bad. This girl ...¡±

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao sprang a question on her, ¡°Are you Japanese?¡±

    ¡°Yes, I am an international student from Japan. I am extremely sorry for the money. I¡¯ll personally go down to the hospital and pass Dr. Liu the money. However, there are some urgent matters which I have to attend to immediately.¡±

    After finishing her sentence, she immediately took a few steps back and was about to shut the door.

    While shutting the door, she began mouthing a few words, ¡°Call the cops ... Call the cops ... Call the cops.¡±

    In her heart, Hanako was praying ¡°I hope that he understands what I¡¯m trying to say. Quickly leave this ce and call the police.¡±

    Just when the door was about to m shut, an arm reached through the gap and stopped Hanako from closing the door.

    ¡°Miss, wait a minute. Is there something that I can help you with?¡¯

    ¡°Hmph?¡± Shuichi¡¯s right eyebrow shot up as he pressed the tip of his katana against Hanako¡¯s spine. He could puncture her body whenever he wanted.

    Mami had also instantaneously bolted right next to Hanako. With one arm leaning against the door, she stared straight into Hanako¡¯s eyes, with a look of suspicion.

    ¡°D*mn it,¡± Hanako cursed in her mind, ¡°Is this guy r*traded?¡±

    Before she could react to it, Zhao Yao had already stretched his head through the gap and looked at Hanako before asking, ¡°Are you sure you do not require my help? I have helped many people in the past and my sess rate has been a perfect 100% till today.¡±

    The group of three froze when they saw Zhao Yao head suddenly jutting through the gap between the doors.

    ¡°Oh, I didn¡¯t know that there were more people at home. I thought all that noise came from the television.¡± Zhao Yao simply stared at the three people rooted to the ground and noticed the three golden exmation marks floating above their heads. A glimmer of light shed across his eyes as he thought, ¡°Nice! Time to earn some experience points!¡±

    However, Hanako had already shut her eyes for fear of what was about to happen, ¡°He¡¯s so stupid!¡±

    A smile crept up Shuichi¡¯s lips as he sneered, ¡°Are you courting death?¡± As he spoke, he had already stretched his right arm towards Zhao Yao¡¯s neck. His n was to grab Zhao Yao in before taking care of him. He did not want to disturb the neighbors or make a mess outside.

    However, not only did Shuichi fail to grab onto Zhao Yao, he even felt a strong and invisible force repelling his arm. Next, the force field started to tremor. Shuichi¡¯s deafening scream punctured the silence as he took a few steps back. His arm had swelled beyond recognition and it was evident that it was fractured.

    ¡°Why did you try to attack me?¡± Zhao Yao asked with both brows raised, ¡°Are you sure you really do not need my help?¡±

    ¡°An apostle!¡± Mami¡¯s eyes widened as she pointed her fingers straight at Zhao Yao. Five bursts of mes shot through each of her fingers and they came charging towards Zhao Yao. The me was so intense and bright that it lit up the entire corridor. She was not letting Zhao Yao escape unscathed.

    With his heightened sensory skills from ¡°Three is better than two¡±, he could even observe the me charging towards him in slow motion as he frowned. With a gentle flick of his finger, his deflective field exploded into ripples and extinguished the mes by altering the atmospheric pressure.

    ¡°What!¡± Anger swept across Mami¡¯s face when she saw how easily Zhao Yao counted her attack. A vein popped out in her neck and she was bent on killing Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Pulsating Dragon Wave!¡±

    She firmly sped her palms together before releasing them. A fierce and intense fire erupted in her palm, sending surges of heat waves into the surroundings. It was a fireball the size of a watermelon and was about to burn down the apartment in mes. Sweat beaded Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead as he acutely felt the effects of the fire.

    ¡°No!¡± Hanako screamed at the top of her lungs as she reached out her arm in a futile attempt to stop Mami.

    Zhao Yao was unfazed by this incredible scene. He simply sped his palms together which triggered a deafening screech. Instantaneously, an invisible force had already encapsted the fireball and it extinguished the mes within seconds.

    ¡°You!¡± Fear crossed her eyes at Mami stared at Zhao Yao in shock. Zhao Yao had already sent her flying off before she could utter a word. She crashed into the wall with a loud thud and fell unconscious on the ground.

    ¡°B*stard!¡±

    With his katana in hand, Shuichi charged towards Zhao Yao. His katana cut through the air particles at such a great speed that it left behind a trail of ear-shattering screeches.

    ¡°Heaven Splitting Strike!¡±

    ¡°Haish, why can¡¯t they just talk instead of resorting to violence ...¡± Zhao Yao nonchntly raised his index finger and managed to absorb the entire impact from Shuichi¡¯s blow, ¡°I¡¯m just trying to help all of you. Can you stop trying to kill me with all your attacks?¡±

    After finishing his statement, Zhao Yao once again flicked his finger and sent Shuichi flying off. He collided with the furniture in the far corner of the room and was writhing in pain.

    By incorporating the power of his deflective field in his attack, Zhao Yao had managed to break at least five or six bones of Shuichi, rendering him incapable of retaliating.

    ¡°You Japanese really like to exaggerate. A small fire like that and you named it Pulsating Dragon Wave. You even named such a futile attack Heaven Splitting Strike. I think you¡¯ve watched too much anime for your own good.¡± Zhao Yao could not help but think about how Japanese media loved to give Chinese table tennis yers over the top monikers.

    ¡°Table tennis empire, The strongest yer on the surface of Earth, The empire¡¯s terminator, The empire¡¯s jewel ....¡±

    ¡°You Japanese really love to exaggerate!¡± Zhao Yao curled his lips in disgust before his forehead furrowed together, ¡°Oh, d*mn it! Why did the mission disappear?¡±

    He took a nce at Hanako and realized that the golden exmation had vanished into thin air.

    All that was left was Hanako who was beaming from ear to ear. With her strong Japanese ent, Hanako thanked Zhao Yao, ¡°Thank you so much for your help. I will never forget your kindness!¡±

    ¡°D*mn it! This means you are not a part of them which means that I¡¯ve already saved you. I¡¯ve saved you before I took this mission.¡± Zhao Yao simmered with anger and eximed, ¡°Didn¡¯t I ask you whether you required any help? Why didn¡¯t you say so at the start?¡±

    Hanako was stunned by Zhao Yao¡¯s response and tried her best to exin, ¡°That¡¯s because Shuichi threatened me to not ask for help from you. I¡¯m sorry. This is all my fault.¡± Immediately, she bowed down in apology.

    ¡°Alright, alright, stop bowing.¡± Zhao Yao gave a dismissive wave of his hand to signal her to stop. Disappointment sagged through him.

    At this moment, Shuichi who was lying on the floor struggled to get on his feet. His every muscle tensed as he red at Zhao Yao and eximed, ¡°Storm organization will hunt you down!¡±

    ¡°So that¡¯s your organization¡¯s name? I had no idea that people still bother having suchme names nowadays.¡± Zhao Yao nced at Shuichi before breaking down into waves ofughter. He pranced towards him before squatting next to him, ¡°Brother, I think you are quite heavily injured and it doesn¡¯t look good. Do you have any death wish that I could help you with?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes beamed with excitement when he noticed the golden exmation mark floating above his head.

    Shuichi mustered his remaining strength and spat on Zhao Yao¡¯s face. Because of Zhao Yao¡¯s deflective field, his spit bounced against Zhao Yao beforending on his own face.

    He was dazed by what happened, but Shuichi trembled with fury when he saw Zhao Yao squatting there smugly, ¡°Stop ying tricks on me, you Chinese man! I¡¯m not going to fall for it!¡±

    Zhao Yao squinted his eyes into a line and asked, ¡°Are you sure you do not need my help?¡±

    ¡°Hmph,¡± Shuichi rose his eyebrows in defiance and would not make eye contact with Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao was helpless and instantaneously disappeared from their sight. Actually, he had escaped to a corner of the apartment during time freeze and entered his extradimensional belly to call on Dust Ball.

    Dust Ball was connected to the extradimensional belly 24/7. Unlike Zhao Yao, she could detect the situation inside it without switching to this power.

    After shouting for Dust Ball, she finally appeared in front of Zhao Yao, albeit slightly unwillingly. She moaned, ¡°What do you want?¡± A smile crept up her face when she noticed the gang of cats lying unconsciously on the ground from Zhao Yao¡¯s illusion.

    Zhao Yao just reached his arm out and grabbed Dust Ball by the neck, ¡°Come with me, I need your help.¡± With Dust Ball in his hand, he reappeared in Hanako¡¯s apartment.

    In Hanako and Shuichi¡¯s eyes, he simply disappeared before appearing instantly. This time, he had a ck cat in his hand.

    ¡°Since you said that you don¡¯t need my help, I¡¯ll have to resort to this.¡± Zhao Yao sniggered, ¡°Dust Ball, vomit the shit from your body!¡±

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Dust Ball rolled her eyes when she heard Zhao Yao¡¯s nonsensical request, ¡°I¡¯ll never do it! Who would ever do that in front of others?¡±

    Zhao Yao knew that it was not advisable to continue luring her using catmint. Hence he said, ¡°Dust Ball, thank you for always keeping the extradimensional belly clean for the others to stay in.¡±

    ¡°Hmph!¡±

    ¡°Alright, how about this, if you help me out this time around, I would install a few automatic self-cleaning litter boxes and all their feces would be automatically kept in a stic bag. All we need to do is dispose of these stic bags.¡±

    Zhao Yao had always known about the existence of these litter boxes which wouldbine the cats¡¯ excrement with cat sand before the owner emptied them. However, Zhao Yao installed those which were directly connected to the sewer in his cafe to save himself some trouble.

    However, it was much wiser to use the former self-cleaning litter boxes for the extradimensional belly.

    Dust Ball¡¯s eyes glittered with excitement when she heard Zhao Yao, ¡°You promised me! I want them changed the moment we get back!¡±

    ¡°Alright, alright! I¡¯ll go on Taobao and get some for you the moment we get back.¡±

    This entire conversation was held within their shared consciousness, hence Hanako and Shuichi werepletely oblivious as to what was going on.

    All she saw was the cat and Zhao Yao staring at each other before Zhao Yao carried the ck cat right next to Shuichi.

    Embarrassment coiled around Dust Ball as she reluctantly stretched opened her mouth. An intense stench emanated from it and it permeated every corner of the apartment. The smell alone almost killed Shuichi.

    ¡°What are you trying to do, you Chinese man!¡±

    A smile was stered on Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he asked, ¡°How is it? Are you sure you really do not need my help?¡¯

    As he spoke, he had activated the power of his deflective field as he pried Shuichi¡¯s mouth open with it.

    The scene which unfolded left Hanako bewildered. She eximed, ¡°This cat! This cat! It is actually vomiting shit from its mouth!¡± The scene that followed twisted her gut as fear wed through her. She trembled as she took a few steps back, hiding in the corner of the apartment, away from this atrocity.

    In her head, she was shouting, ¡°It ... It actually is vomiting shit directly into Shuichi¡¯s mouth? This is cruel, this is too cruel!¡±

    On the other hand, Zhao Yao pressed one foot against Shuichi¡¯s body and held Dust Ball in his hands, with her mouth aiming directly into Shuichi¡¯s mouth. Zhao Yao shouted, ¡°Speak! Do you need my help?¡±

    ¡°Boohoo ...¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m asking you a question. Do you need my help?¡±

    ¡°Yes ... boohoo ... yes ... boohoo¡±

    ¡°Then speak up! What do you need me to do?¡±

    ¡°Give ... give me a cup of water ...¡±

    ¡°Who is interested in this stupid request? I¡¯m sure you cane up with something better than that!¡±

    15 minutester, Mami¡¯s eyelids quivered as she slowly regained consciousness. She was awakened by this obnoxious ear-splitting screams.

    ¡°I ... Oh yes ... That apostle.¡± Mami carefully opened her eyes as she slowly surveyed the situation inside the apartment.

    The scene which she saw left her dumbfounded.

    In front of here stood Zhao Yao who was stepping on Shuichi¡¯s body with his right foot. Zhao Yao carried Dust Ball in his arms and stretched her mouth open using her fingers. A darkish yellow object would flow out of her mouth from time to time, directly into Shuichi¡¯s mouth.

    ¡°This stench!¡± An unimaginable thought shed across Mami¡¯s head, ¡°This cat is feeding Shuichi with shit?¡±

    At the same time, a conversation between two people rang in her ears.

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Are you sure you don¡¯t want this to stop? If you do not ask me for help, I guarantee that this is just the tip of the iceberg.¡±

    ¡°What .... What do you want from me?¡± His eyes flooded with tears as Shuichi struggled to get the words out.

    ¡°Can¡¯t you see it? I¡¯m just trying to help you.¡± Zhao Yao retorted as anger roared through him, ¡°Why are you Japanese people so polite? You don¡¯t have to behave all courteous with me! Just tell me if anything¡¯s bothering or disturbing you.¡±

    ¡°Boohooo ... boohoo ... can you ... boohoo ...can you at least let me take a shower or brush my teeth?¡±

    ¡°No!¡± Zhao Yao roared, ¡°We have something more important to tend to! Think about it, what is your objective foring to China? Why did you enter this apartment? I¡¯ll help you achieve your mission!¡±

    Shuichi eximed, ¡°Please ... please help me deliver Ms. Hanako back to our headquarters in Japan!¡±

    ¡°Finally!¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s mouth curled into a smile. However, his smile quickly faded when he saw the contents of the mission.

    ¡°Are you kidding me? You need me to go all the way to Japan and you only give me 100 experience points?¡±

    Zhao Yao pursed his lips and immediately chose to reject the mission. He had no time to go to Japan considering the cats back home and his caf¨¦¡¯s business.

    Zhao Yao shook his head as he nced at Shuichi who was on the verge of going crazy, ¡°I no longer need you.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes swept across the apartment and stopped at Mami. Sweat trickled down Hanako¡¯s spine when Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes swept past her. She clutched her chest and tried to take a few steps back. On the other hand, Mami stared at Zhao Yao helplessly, as if he was a pervert trying to rape her.

    Zhao Yao did not even bother to look at Hanako. He simply stared at Mami with a lopsided smile, ¡°Miss, do you need my help?¡±

    ¡°Please help me deliver Ms. Hanako back to our headquarters in Japan!¡± Mami immediately shouted.

    She saw how Zhao Yao gave up when Shuichi made that request and decided to follow suit.

    Zhao Yao lowered his head in anguish. His mood plummeted as he let out a long sigh, ¡°This is just a rubbish mission that¡¯s gonna take too much time!¡± Suddenly, his eyes glimmered when he noticed the golden exmation mark floating above Hanako¡¯s head. He eximed in joy, ¡°Hey, Miss, do you need my help?¡±

    ¡°Ah!¡± Hanako burst into tears as she dashed to the corner of the apartment and buried her head in her chest.

    ¡°Hey!¡± Zhao Yao was taken aback by her behavior, ¡°Am I really that scary? Just now, I was just trying to protect you. Now, I¡¯m just trying to help you. Don¡¯t be scared, I¡¯m here. No one can hurt you.¡±

    ¡°So ... is there anything I can do for you? I have to make it clear that it must be something with a certain degree of difficulty. It should not be something like getting you a cup of coffee or preparing dinner for you or even sweeping the floor.¡±

    Terror overtook her face as Hanako stared at Zhao Yao. In her head, she thought, ¡°This guy, is he crazy? Why does he treat this world as if it was just a game?¡±

    All this time, Zhao Yao continually repeated about stuff such as missions and what not. Hanako already had a hunch as to what had happened to Zhao Yao. She thought that he was heavily addicted to a game and was no longer capable of differentiating reality from the game.

    She had seen many of Zhao Yao¡¯s kind back in Japan. Usually, they were hideous and fat. She had never expected this kind of people to be so strong.

    ¡°D*mn it ... didn¡¯t my ssmate tell me that inte addicts in China have been captured and electrocuted? Just my luck to meet one.¡±

    Zhao Yao grew impatient as his tone turned somewhat impolite, ¡°Hey, you¡¯ve been thinking about it for half a day. Are you done yet? What do you need my help with? I¡¯m telling you that you would not be leaving this apartment until you tell me what you need my help with.¡±

    Hanako¡¯s heart sank when she heard those words. However, an idea shed across her head, ¡°Since this guy is strong, I can actually use this lunatic to ...¡±

    With this idea, Hanako stammered as she tried to get the words out, ¡°I¡¯m currently under pursuit by a Japanese extremist organization known as Storm organization... can you protect me from them?¡±

    The corner of his mouth quirked up as Zhao Yao eximed, ¡°Yes, yes! Definitely, yes!¡±

    Mission: Protect Miss. Hanako!

    Objective: Protect Miss. Hanako for the next 30 days.

    Reward: You would be given 10 experience points for each day you keep her save. The points would be awarded at the end of the 30 days or when the mission fails. An addition 100 experience points will be given if you managed to keep her save for 30 days.

    ¡°Hmph, let me see,¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes born in Hanako as hemented, ¡°Just pack all your necessities and follow me. I guarantee that no one can hurt you as long as you stay by my side.¡±

    Hanako nodded her head and hurried off to pack her clothes.

    Zhao Yao chuckled before his eyes swept back to Mami and Shuichi.

    Mami was shaking like a leaf as she stammered, ¡°What do you want from us?¡±

    ¡°Do me a favor and tell me the location of your supercat.¡±

    From their short exchange, Zhao Yao had already gleaned some information about their identities. Suichi¡¯s control and mastery of his katana were unequaled. Coupled with his superior body qualities, he could easily take down 10 men on his own.

    He was an extremely strong fighter aspared to ordinary humans, but he was not an apostle, unlike Mami.

    This meant that she had definitely brought her supercat along to China. This reminded Zhao Yao of his chain mission to establish a cat nation.

    Seeing their disparity in strength, Mami could only ede to Zhao Yao¡¯s request with hopes of Zhao Yao sparing her life. An hourter, Mami had brought Zhao Yao to where she hid her cat but the cat was nowhere to be found.

    ¡°What happened? Where is my cat?¡± Mami could not believe her eyes as she ransacked the entire apartment in search of the cat. However, it was to no avail. She eximed, ¡°Where is Chimera?¡±

    Zhao Yao stood on the balcony and stared intently into the surroundings. He took in a deep breath and said, ¡°It has left your apartment. Back in Japan, was Chimera allowed to roam around freely?¡±

    Sadness clouded Mami¡¯s features as she responded, ¡°Chimera has always been a stray cat, but I have instructed it umpteen times to never leave this apartment.¡±

    ¡°From the looks of it, there was more than one cat inside this apartment. I believe your Chimera must have hosted a few other stray cats before leaving.

    ¡°How could this have happened?¡±

    ¡°Is this the cat food that you have been feeding Chimera with?¡± Zhao Yao kneeled beside the bowl of cat food. He grabbed a handful and held them below his nose before he took few sniffs. Hemented, ¡°This cat food has been left here for around 12 hours. Didn¡¯t you guyse back for the past 12 hours?¡±

    With his keen observation skills, Zhao Yao could even discern the grade of cat food by simply staring at it.

    Zhao Yao could not help but whispered, ¡°This is the worst cat food that I¡¯ve seen in a long while. It¡¯s justmon cat food easily found in supermarkets.¡±

    Mami continued to exin what happened, ¡°We spent the majority of our time outside searching for Hanako. We don¡¯t have time toe back and tend to Chimera. Will Chimera return?¡±

    Zhao Yao just shook his head in response. He would not spend the rest of his time waiting for a supercat that might not even return. Hence, he decided to hand both Shuichi and Mami over to Inspector Ho to handle.

    With Inspector Ho¡¯s power, he could definitely detain these two Japanese in China for a long time. They could use this time to reflect and change for the better.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao brought Hanako and the Pas¡¯s cat back to his apartment.

    Half an hourter, the Pas¡¯s cat was already sitting on Zhao Yao¡¯s couch, surrounded by Dust Ball, Mango, and Roly Poly. As usual, he was bragging and falsifying the ount of what actually happened, ¡°Those two brats had no idea who they were dealing with. I am a predator that had killed dozens of human beings. With my murderous aura, I opened my mouth and revealed my razor-sharp canines. Those two fools saw me and piss their pants. They immediately cried for help and ran off, leaving me in the apartment.

    Zhao Yao knew that it would be dangerous if he set me free and allow me to roam the streets. In order to ensure the public¡¯s safety, Zhao Yao decided to bring me back here.¡±

    Dust Ball was bbergasted by how good a liar the Pas¡¯s cat was. Dust Ball was present throughout the entire incident and saw for herself how the Pas¡¯s catid on the floor unconscious. She shook her head in disbelief before she left Roly Poly and Mango with the liar.

    Roly Poly had also started doubting the Pas¡¯s cat words. He had witnessed for himself how Zhao Yao had destroyed him with a barrage of kicks and punches yesterday.

    ¡°Tsk, I thought that he was actually some cool ass cat. I definitely did not expect him to be a liar.¡±

    With both Dust Ball and Roly Poly gone, the Pas¡¯s cat immediately plunged into despair. There was no point in him bullshitting with no audience around.

    The Pas¡¯s cat then fixed his eyes on Mango, his only remaining audience. Mango simply stared at him wide-eyed and his eyes sparkling with amazement.

    A smile crept up the Pas¡¯s cat face when he saw how attentive Mango looked. He thought, ¡°Is your name Mango? I think you¡¯re the only one who truly understands me. I¡¯ll tell you more about the days where I roamed freely along the vast desert ins.¡±

    A few minutester, Dust Ball was seen trembling at the corner of the apartment.

    Her tiny frame gave a few shudders before she started walking towards a bedroom. She came out with a bag of catmint in her mouth.

    The Pas¡¯s cat, Lightning, dashed towards Dust Ball and took a few sniffs. He asked enthusiastically, ¡°Is that catmint?¡±

    ¡°Yup. My entire body will feel out of sorts if I go one day without it.¡± As she spoke, Dust Ball began to tear open the bag of catmint.

    ¡°What¡¯s so good about catmint? I¡¯ll give you something even stronger and more potent.¡± Lightning began scratching his silky long fur. His fur was even longer than Elizabeth¡¯s. Suddenly, he retrieved a tiny wooden stick from the depths of his fur.

    A weird smell emanated the moment Lightning took the wooden stick out. The smell immediately caught Dust Ball¡¯s attention.

    Her nose was fascinated with the smell and her eyes were glued to the wooden stick. She asked, ¡°What is this?¡±

    ¡°Meowhaha, I guess you have not tried this before. This is a silvervine stick, a high-quality product that many cats would never see in their lifetime. I only managed to get it by contacting my friend who is part of a local gang.¡± Lightning held the stick to his nose and took a few sniffs. Then, he took a few bites off of the wooden stick. A smile crept up his face and he was on cloud nine. He finally ced the wooden stick in front of Dust Ball after the feeling subsided.

    ¡°You can try this. It¡¯s a lot stronger than catmint.¡±

    ¡°I ... I don¡¯t think I should do this. I mean it belongs to you.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, I know cats, many cats. Even the cat gang leaders all over Jiangmen city have to ord me, Lightning, a certain amount of respect. No one will reject me if I ask for more of this.¡±

    Soon enough, both cats were immersed in the euphoric effects of the silvervine stick and reveled in the sensation it provided. The effects were especially stark for Dust Ball since it was her first time trying it. She began hugging the wooden stick and rolled around the floor. This was followed by bouts of scratching, biting and even munching.

    Zhao Yao soon discovered this anomaly and grabbed the two cats that were still high on the silvervine stick. He was left speechless by their behavior and asked, ¡°How did you get hold of this?¡±

    ¡°Hmph, I went to meet Scar Eye of OO street and he gave this to me as a greeting gift. I mean it¡¯s only natural because I am Big Brother Lightning of Jiangmen city.¡±

    Zhao Yao curled his lips in disgust and asked, ¡°I thought you were imprisoned for a long time?¡±

    ¡°On paper, I was imprisoned. However, I could leave whenever I wanted. I was famous because of this.¡±

    Suddenly, an idea sprang in Zhao Yao¡¯s head. If Lightning really spent some time on the streets, the gangs which he referred to would simply be a band of stray cats and Scar Eye was just one of them.

    ¡°Do you know many stray cats? Are there any supercats among them?¡±

    Lightning nodded his head smugly in response.

    Zhao Yao carefully ced the obnoxious cat on the floor and thought, ¡°Numerous supercats might be a part of the band of stray cats which Lightning mentioned. I might be able to invite them to my cat nation if I can get hold of them.¡±

    With the thought at the back of his head, Zhao Yao took away the wooden stick and dered, ¡°This is my territory and I did not give you permission to have this silvervine stick. Are you trying to cause trouble?¡±

    Both cats immediately regained consciousness with the wooden sticks taken away from them. The color drained from their faces as they pounced onto Zhao Yao¡¯s calf and pleaded, ¡°Please return us the wooden stick, and we beg you!¡¯

    Zhao Yao did not care about their pleading and insisted, ¡°Remember that you can only go through me if you want this wooden stick. You cannot take this from anyone else.¡±

    ¡°We know, we know, please forgive us this time.¡± Lightning¡¯s eyes were glued to the wooden stick in Zhao Yao¡¯s hand as he waved it around. Lightning pleaded in desperation, ¡°Please let me take a few more sniffs. There is still a bit left and it would be a waste to throw it away.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head and said, ¡°Only this time.¡± Zhao Yao nonchntly threw it into a corner which sent Lightning and Dust Ball chasing after it.

    At this moment, the door to the shower swung open and Hanako appeared with her long, silky hair all damp. She was wearing a bathrobe and looked even prettier than usual as she was shrouded in the steam from the shower. Baiquan could not help but lowered his head in embarrassment. He whispered to Zhao Yao, ¡°Boss, what are we supposed to do? We don¡¯t have any female clothing in this apartment.¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you bring any clothes with you?¡± How about you wear my T-shirt first?¡±

    ¡°I forgot about it just now because we were in such a rush, but it doesn¡¯t matter. I can wear whatever you have.¡±

    Zhao Yao simply passed her his own set of jeans and t-shirt to change into. The trio sat in the living room as Hanako carefully scrutinized all the cats living in the apartment.

    To her, all of them seemed so unique and interesting.

    The silence was finally shattered when Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Alright, I think you have to tell me more about yourself since I¡¯ve agreed to protect you.¡±

 Chapter 209: Zhao Yao, the Personal Bodyguard

    <h4>Chapter 209: Zhao Yao, the Personal Bodyguard</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Under Zhao Yao¡¯s interrogation, Hanako finally began recounting what had actually happened.

    To cut the story short, this entire incident resulted from an internal dispute within a powerful Japanese family.

    Hanako belonged to the house of Kujyo which was an influential family in Japan. They held multiple consortiums in their hands and were even the secret boss behind multiple secret societies. Their family name was revered and feared by many.

    Recently, Hanako¡¯s father health deteriorated and her brother was automatically selected to be his sessor. All went well until that fateful day.

    Suddenly, Hanako¡¯s father changed his mind and decided to name Hanako as the sessor to his empire despite many protests amongst the family.

    Hence, her brother immediately sent a group of trusted subordinates to China to send her back to Japan

    Hanako knew that she was a sitting duck if she simplyplied with her brother¡¯s instructions. She had no idea what was going on in the Kujyo household. She did not know what her brother was plotting behind her back and did not want to leave her fate in the hands of other people.

    Thus, she decided to go into hiding before someone came knocking at her door.

    To prevent attracting unwanted attention, Harako naturally chose to send Lightning to a pet hospital to ensure her safety.

    A few days ago, she received a phone call from her friend in Japan who notified her of the situation there. Her brother had sessfully seeded as the heir and would no longer harass her. Only then did she dare to contact the pet hospital and receive Lightning.

    A spate of incidents happened since then. Apparently, her brother was still bent on capturing and sending her back to Japan. Her friend had provided false intel and she could no longer trust him.

    Zhao Yao was apathetic to her situation and immediately digressed to another topic, ¡°Then how about the RMB 5,000? I¡¯m sure you can give it to me now.¡±

    Her annoyance red as she did not expect him to continue pursuing the matter after she had divulged her story. She could not help but asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, are you working at the pet hospital?¡±

    ¡°Nope, I know what you are trying to ask,¡± Zhao Yao simply waved his hand and continued, ¡°I am known for keeping my word. I had promised Dr. Liu that I would collect the money from you and give it back to her, not a single cent less.¡±

    She set her hands on the table, palms up and exined, ¡°Someone in my family had frozen my ount and I really cannot fork out the RMB 5,000 right now.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Zhao Yao shook with fury as he eximed, ¡°Then why did you promise the money over the phone call? Were you toying with Dr. Liu?¡±

    Hanako stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and said, ¡°I was afraid that you would note over and deliver Lightning to me if I did not promise this reward. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll deliver the money over once I have them.¡±

    ¡°Why are you sticking out your tongue? Do you think I would forgive you just because you¡¯re acting cute?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s temple throbbed with rage as he took out a pen and paper from the drawer, ¡°Write me an IOU!¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Hanako stared nkly at Zhao Yao as she couldn¡¯tprehend his intention.

    Zhao Yao just buried his head in his phone and exined, ¡°I¡¯ll return the money on your behalf first. You must transfer the money to my bank ount once you have them. Understand?¡±

    Hanako was left speechless by his actions but still obedientlyplied with his instructions. RMB 5,000 was just a small sum to her. Even if she cut off all ties with her family, she would be able to find a job and earn enough money to pay it off with her credentials and skills.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao unwillingly wired over his own money to Dr. Liu. He also left her a message informing her that the cat had been delivered to Hanako. Immediately, he was notified of thepletion of the mission. He earned 100 experience points for delivering the cat and an addition 100 experience points for collecting the RMB 5,000.

    With the multiplier in effect, Zhao Yao¡¯s BOOK now reflected lv4(1368/5000).

    ¡°Not bad, not bad at all.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s mouth finally turned into a smile when he saw the experience points earned. He then started contemting about Hanako¡¯s predicament.

    ¡°They sent an apostle over to capture Hanako. This means that either her brother or someone in the family knows about the existence of apostles and supercats. They have even started using them to their advantage. However, Hanako still remained oblivious to all this, even the fact that her dear Lightning is a supercat. I think the situation over at the Kujyo household is moreplicated than I imagined.¡±

    Any incident that was entangled with supercats would naturally turn convoluted. This was because of the inherent nature of superpowers, making them impossible to predict and grasp. This was clearly reflected in the incident involving Nekomata.

    Zhao Yao finally opened his mouth and said, ¡°Alright, you will have to stay beside me for now. If you stay 5 meters away from me, I guarantee that no one will be able to hurt you.¡±

    Hanako was disgusted by his words and thought,¡±Even though this guy is a pervert but his strength and powers were no fluke. I believe he would be sufficient before I receive any news from Japan.¡±

    Suddenly, Hanako broached a new topic and asked a question that had been bothering her for a long time, ¡°May I ask if yours and Mami¡¯s abilities are considered superpowers?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought about it and felt that there was nothing to hide. Furthermore, with her staying 5 meters away from him, 24 hours a day and seven days a week, it¡¯s a matter of time before she noticed something weird. Hence, he introduced the entire concept of apostles and supercats to her in a sinct exnation.

    ¡°Oh yes, you would be sleeping in my bedroomter.¡±

    Her face instantly turned crimson as she stared at Zhao Yao in both embarrassment and anger, ¡°What ... What are you trying to do? Don¡¯t think that you can take advantage of me just because I¡¯m Japanese.¡±

    Baiquan who overheard Zhao Yao¡¯s words also chipped in and said,¡±Boss, this girl came all the way to China alone. Now, she has a gang of people hot on her heels, bent on killing her. I don¡¯t think this is ideal.¡±

    ¡°What are you guys even thinking about?¡± Zhao Yao snapped his finger and exined, ¡°I¡¯m just trying to protect her. Honestly, even with my current skill, I would need you to stay close to me to ensure your safety. I¡¯ll be sleeping in my bed while you sleep on the mattress on the floor.¡±

    Hanako finally heaved a sigh of relief but at the same time cursed when she heard his words, ¡°Selfish man, I predict that you will never get a girlfriend in your life.¡±

    After addressing Hanako¡¯s concern, Zhao Yao took a step out of his bedroom to see Matcha and Roly Poly crowding around the corridor. They dashed towards Zhao Yao when they saw him and eximed, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! Where did Princess Qian go? Did you hide her inside your belly?¡±

    Matcha pounced onto Zhao Yao¡¯s calf and rubbed his furry head against Zhao Yao¡¯s leg and pleaded, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! Please release Princess Qian and let me y with her! What about my father-inw and mother-inw? You cannot just keep them there forever.¡±

    Roly Poly, who stood behind Matcha, gave Matcha a sinister stare as he thought, ¡°This d*mn cat, how can he steal my lines?¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his leg and replied nonchntly, ¡°No way. You can y on your own.¡± All the cats inside the belly shared a rather peculiar personality. Furthermore, their abilities proved to be extremely troublesome if dealt with incorrectly. Trouble awaited if Zhao Yao released them from his belly.

    Before Zhao Yao had achieved a strength that would allow him to take them down without breaking a sweat, he would not take the risk of releasing them into his apartment.

    ¡°Ahh!¡± Matchay on the floor and rolled from one end to another. Matcha¡¯s cries and shouting flooded the apartment.

    ¡°I don¡¯t care! I want Princess Qian!¡±

    ¡°Boohoo! I cannot survive without Princess Qian!¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao, how can you be so cruel? How can you separate a pair of lovebirds or rather lovecats?¡¯

    Roly Poly suppressed the anger raging within him when he observed Matcha causing a ruckus. He added fuel to the fire by saying, ¡°Zhao Yao, no matter what, they are still Elizabeth¡¯s family, her father, mother and sister. I don¡¯t think you should just keep them inside all day.¡±

    Matcha eximed, ¡°Elizabeth, say something!¡±

    Elizabeth which was engrossed in her favorite television drama wagged her tail andmented, ¡°I do not care as long as they¡¯re alive.¡±

    Pain gripped Matcha¡¯s chest as he roared, ¡°But they are your parents!¡±

    ¡°I am a cat, I do not have any sorts of familial affection. I was surprised that I even bothered saving them.¡± She nced at Matcha and continued, ¡°They kept their mouth shut when Sun Meng wanted me to mate with the handsome but stupid cat.¡±

    ¡°You are too cruel, too inhumane!¡± Matcha dered, ¡°This world is so dark that I can¡¯t even see a glimmer of hope!¡±

    ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Elizabeth grumbled, ¡°Anyway, they will just be a victim of your sexual harassment if they¡¯re here. I think they would rather stay inside the extradimensional belly.¡±

    Hanako left the bedroom and was greeted by the weird sight of Matcha rolling all over the floor. She asked, ¡°What happened to this cat?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know, maybe he¡¯s suffering from constipation.¡± Zhao Yao said.

    Hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s words, Matcha immediately reacted by sticking his ass in the air and pretended as if he was about to shit on the floor.

    ¡°D*mn it,¡± Zhao Yao immediately dashed towards Matcha and mmed his palm against the back of his head, ¡°Are you trying to be funny?¡±

    mes of anger shot through Matcha as he shouted, ¡°I want to see Princess Qian. If I don¡¯t see her, I will be like Mango and flood the entire apartment with my urine and shit!¡±

    ¡°You will only be able to take Princess Qian away from me for now! However, you cannot do that forever! I will see her at the end of the day!¡±

    ¡°This d*mn cat!¡± All sorts of profanities flew across Zhao Yao¡¯s mind as he stared at this annoying cat. Just when he was about to teach Matcha a lesson, an idea sprang into his head, ¡°Indeed, I will not be able to stop this cat forever. Does this mean it¡¯s time to use my illusion again?¡±

    Zhao Yao was reminded of the pillow incident and gave up the idea instantly. He shook his head and mumbled, ¡°No, the illusion will be my final resort.¡±

    He stared at Matcha and decided toe to apromise by saying, ¡°Alright, because of our ongoing renovation, the contest for star cat would be put on hold. If you are dered the star cat for the following month, I would let you inside the extradimensional belly to meet Princess Qian.

    ¡°Are you serious?¡± Matcha¡¯s eyes sparkled with excitement upon hearing those words. He jumped up and down and eximed, ¡°The title of star cat is as good as mine already. I¡¯ll just focus on Mobile Legends and wait for my date with Princess Qian.¡±

    Meanwhile, Roly Poly shot a re at Matcha and thought, ¡°I will be star cat for the following month!¡±

    After Matcha left, Roly Poly furtively came to Zhao Yao¡¯s side and asked enthusiastically, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! Does the reward apply to me as well if I win the title of star cat?¡±

    ¡°Hmph?¡± Zhao Yao noticed the look of desperation on Roly Poly¡¯s face and could not help but thought, ¡°Hmph, I guess I can actually use Princess Qian as a bait to lure Matcha and Roly Poly to put in more effort at work. I can even use her to stimte Roly Poly.¡±

    With this n in hand, Zhao Yao nodded his head and announced, ¡°Of course! However, looking at your current state, you still have a long way to go before you have a chance of being crowned star cat.¡±

    ¡°Then what should I do? Zhao Yao, please help me!¡±

    ¡°You can start by losing some weight. From today onwards, you must start running every day and lose five pounds. From there, we will further improve your overall aesthetics.¡±

    Roly Poly did not quiver in fear. Instead, his eyes reflected an unprecedented determination. He simply nodded his head and said, ¡°I understand. However, will I really stand a chance to win after losing weight?¡±

    ¡°Bing star cat will only be the tip of the iceberg. If you execute ording to my n, I guarantee that you will be the cat that millions idolize. You potentially epass the strength of a tigerbined with the grace of a cheetah encapsted in a lion¡¯s majestic grandeur. Your looks will be nothing like we¡¯ve ever seen. Cats will love you when they see you. I¡¯m sure Princess Qian would fall for you the moment shey eyes on you.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡¯ Images of a majestic and powerful white tiger were conjured in his head.

    ¡°Of course it¡¯s real! I¡¯ll repackage you from head to toe and help you bid farewell to your current image. Don¡¯t talk about Princess Qian, even Elizabeth will ...¡±

    His heart nearly stopped as he shouted the words, 3p. All the fats in his body started vibrating in anticipation.

    ¡°Hmph, there¡¯s definitely a chance.¡±

    mes of determination erupted in Roly Poly¡¯s eyes as he dered, ¡°I will start running from now on!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s mouth curled into a smile when he observed Roly Poly running around the living room. He thought, ¡°That¡¯s great. I¡¯m sure he can lose at least one or two pounds with that determination.¡±

    ....

    On the same night, Xiao Yu was walking Fish Ball and Noodle along a street in Jiangmen city.

    Fish Ball was put on a leash as he pranced down the pedestrian walkway.

    Fish Ball stretched open his mouth and started sticking out his tongue just like a dog. Whenever he noticed another dog walking past, he would start barking and growling. He was basically a dog in a cat¡¯s skin.

    After a round of barking, he immediately cocked his head towards Noodle with his tails wagging from left to right. He asked, ¡°Boss, Boss, how am I performing?¡±

    ¡°Hmph,¡± Noodle nodded his head and responded, ¡°You¡¯re doing well. Continue keeping up your good work.¡± Noodle was rather satisfied with his newly acquired subordinate.

    There were many side effects when he used Nekomata¡¯s abilities to possess the husky¡¯s body. Even though he had no superpower and could not leave the husky¡¯s body, he had acquired the ability tomunicate with cats and could be considered half a supercat. Previously, he just did not bother talking to Fish Ball.

    Actually, he had been bullying Fish Ball all this time. By employing various tactics, Noodle had managed to receive affection from everyone in the family, elevating his status. Consequently, Fish Ball¡¯s status had plummeted to rock bottom and there was nothing he could do about it.

    After that, Nekomata even demonstrated the effects of his power, resulting in Fish Ball¡¯s unconditional submission to Noodle.

    ¡°Hmph, at this rate, I think it¡¯s better to have this pesky cat as my underling than to have him chased away.¡±

    Fish Ball was amazed by Nekomata¡¯s power of psychokinesis and thought that this power belonged to Noodle which exined his submission. Fish Ball¡¯s eyes flickered with admiration as he dered, ¡°Long live the superdog! Superdogs are invincible! Woof! Woof! Woof!¡±

    Noodle simply replied condescendingly, ¡°That¡¯s a good boy.¡±

    Fish Ball wagged his tail and stared wide-eyed at Noodle. He announced, ¡°Boss, I havee to an important decision. From now on, I will live the rest of my life as a dog instead of a cat. Wolf! Wolf! Wolf!¡±

    Embarrassment seized her as Xiao Yu walked alongside a dog and a cat pretending to be a dog. She had no idea what happened but Fish Ball began acting like a dog since a few days ago. He would go around barking and stuck his tongue out like an idiot. Today, he even requested to leave the house for a walk.

    ¡°This idiot! Is he really treating himself like a dog?¡± Xiao Yu knew that cats were capable of producing an assortment of sounds. There had been instances of cats mimicking a dog¡¯s bark. However, she had never seen a catpletely mimicking a dog¡¯s behavior.

    This was not the only weird thing that happened. Nowadays, the cat known as ¡®The World¡¯s Strongest¡¯ had ignored her on WeChat. The cat even deleted Xiao Yu¡¯s WeChat from his list of contacts. This made her quiver with indignation.

    Suddenly, Fish Ball stopped next to a tree. He raised his hind leg in the air and started peeing like a dog.

    Xiao Yu was left speechless by this absurd scene. Suddenly, a brilliant idea sprang to her head and she asked, ¡°Fish Ball, do you recognize the way home?¡±

    Fish Ball stared at Xiao Yu and nodded his head, ¡°Obviously I remember the way back home, two-legged dog.¡± Fish Ball¡¯s voice was full of disdain as he no longer regarded Xiao Yu as someone important. Now, he had the backing of Noodle.

    Even though Xiao Yu could not understand Fish Ball¡¯s meow, she understood his reply from the nods. She dered, ¡°Alright, Fish Ball, I¡¯ll need you to help me walk Noodle around the neighborhood. Return home after you are done.¡±

    Even though Xiao Yu truly enjoyed thepany of Fish Ball and Noodle, but this daily walking was extremely time-consuming and had taken a toll on her body.

    Just when Fish Ball was about to reject her proposal, Noodle stepped in and shouted, ¡°ept her proposal!¡±

    Hence, a pair of cat and dog was spotted happily walking down the streets with their tongues sticking out

    Nekomata was stalking them and soon grew bored of this monotonous activity. He thought, ¡°This is so vexing. Things are getting a little boring over here. Xiao Yu spends most of her time in school or doing her homework. She has time for neither games nor dramas. Even though Fish Ball spends all his time ying Mobile Legends but he is so bad at it! Watching him y is simply a torture.¡±

    As he thought about games and dramas, he could not help but reminisce the times where he binge-watched dramas behind Elizabeth¡¯s back.

    ¡°How about I go over to Zhao Yao¡¯s apartment and join in for some fun.¡± Soon enough, he had already diverted from Fish Ball and Noodle¡¯s path.

    With his tongue sticking out, Noodle thought, ¡°Today is my first step towards ruling the entire district. My priority is to locate supercats. Most of the domestic cats have been sterilized, hence I should be able to find more supercats among the stray cats. If I establish myself as the king of the realm of stray cats ... I will be able to ... hahaha.¡±

    He had already developed a foolproof n in his head and it began in this tiny district. Bybining Nekomata¡¯s power with Fish Ball¡¯s, hordes of supercats would bow down to him in submission. Then, he would move on to the next district and then the next. Ultimately, he would be the dog revered by all supercats.

    ¡°... Based on these cats¡¯ intellect, I¡¯ll be able to fool them in a matter of minutes. As long as I can convince sufficient supercats in this district, I¡¯ll be able to establish my empire ... be an emperor ... and reach the pinnacle. I¡¯ll then be able to take on the human race.¡±

    With this magnificent vision in his head, he led Fish Ball into the heart of the district, in search of potential followers.

    His efforts finally paid off when they found dozens of cats hiding in an underground bunker.

    The room was dimly lit and the cats were strewn all over the floor as if they had no bones. Fish Ball¡¯s face turned crimson when he noticed groups of cats engaging in a sensual activity under broad daylight.

    Fish Ball whispered into Noodle¡¯s ears, ¡°Boss, what are they doing?¡±

    ¡°I think this is a gathering of stray cats. Let¡¯s start with them.¡± Noodle let out a few barks and stood on his two hind feet. He sauntered towards the group of cats as if he was a human.

    ¡°Who is the boss amongst you?¡¯

    Two cats within the group turned to face each other and broke into chatters.

    ¡°Who are these two fools?¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t know that dogs can also be awakened? Are they trying to stir trouble?¡±

    Fish Ball burst intoughter and barked, ¡°Woof! Woof! What are you whispering about? I advise you to ord us some respect. This is my boss, superdog Noodle. His ambition is to rule the world and open a new page in the world¡¯s history.¡±

    The husky cooperated by letting out the most menacing growl. The group of stray cats was frightened by his action and instantly arched their backs as they took a few steps back.

    ¡°Do you see his teeth that are as sharp as the wolves? One bite can shatter steel column into pieces. I¡¯m telling you that he is going to be this district¡¯s boss from today onwards. Do you submit to his rule?¡±

    ¡°Take a step forward if you don¡¯t! I¡¯ll beat you till you submit!¡±

    After finish his grandiose speech, Fish Ball unleashed his ws and waved them smugly in the air. His paws emanated a colorful glow and had instantly turned the bunker into a dance floor.

    Suddenly, tens of stray cats sprang out and began chasing after the colorful glow to Fish Ball¡¯s amusement.

 Chapter 211: King Hanada

    <h4>Chapter 211: King Hanada</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    The two cats that were capable ofmunicating remained in the depths of the bunker.

    Evidently, both of them were supercats and they were probably the only ones in the district. Their superior intelligence naturally elevated them as the leader in the district.

    One of them was a tri-colored female cat. ck, white and brown patterns were printed all over her body.

    The other cat had a body full of orange fur. However, one of his eyes were permanently shut and was most probably partially blind.

    The one-eyed cat scrutinized Fish Ball from head to toe before breaking into chortles. He eximed, ¡°Meowhaha, Chrysanthemum look! This ability is so cute!¡± The one-eyed cat was on the verge of joining the gang of cats in chasing after the light.

    The tri-colored cat, which was referred to as Chrysanthemum, spoke condescendingly, ¡°Do you take us for fools? You want to be the king of this district using that pesky little power of yours?¡± She slowly got on her four feet and stared at Fish Ball with a look of disdain. She sniggered, ¡°Haven¡¯t you heard about our leader, king Hanada?¡±

    ¡°King Hanada?¡±

    Fish Ball and Noodle¡¯s eyes met before they broke down into waves ofughter.

    ¡°Hanada? King? What ame name. I never expected anyone to give themselves such a stupid title?¡± Fish Ball clutched his belly while he fell to the ground inughter.

    Noodle wagged his paws in Chrysanthemum¡¯s face and sniggered, ¡°Are you really that desperate to even bother mentioning this kind of name? You have already lost!¡± Noodle had difficultypleted his statement as it was interrupted by his constant cackling.

    A vein popped out in Chrysanthemum¡¯s neck and her temple throbbed with fury. Her pupils constricted as she death-stared the husky and American Shorthair standing opposite her.

    The incessantughing was only interrupted when Chrysanthemum opened her mouth, ¡°The title of King Hanada is closely rted to the district which we all live in, Handa district. This is the reason behind his title. All the kings of the various districts in Jiangmen city are named as such. Do you have any objections to this custom?¡±

    ¡°Oh, so this is how it works.¡± Fish Ball lowered his head in embarrassment and started grooming the fur on his groin. Then, he announced, ¡°No matter what, Noodle Boss will be the leader of this district from today onwards. Your only option is to submit to his reign and be his loyal servants.¡±

    ¡°Do you feel anger pulsating through your body? However, your rage is futile.¡± The husky waved his paws in Chrysanthemum¡¯s face and sneered, ¡°Honestly speaking, the difference between you and me is beyond what you can possibly imagine. We are worlds apart ...¡±

    ¡°Worlds apart!¡± Fish Ball cheered along in unison.

    The husky shut his eyes before shaking his head in despair, ¡°Do you even know how weak you are aspared to me? Never mind, I¡¯m afraid your puny brain will never be able toprehend the difference between you and me. It¡¯s impossible for you to realize just how strong I am with that brain of yours.¡±

    ¡°Cannot understand how strong Boss Noodle is!¡± Fish Ball repeated.

    ¡°That¡¯s enough, Fish Ball.¡± Noodle gave a dismissive wave of his hand in embarrassment and said, ¡°You do not have to repeat everything I say.¡±

    Noodle continued exining, ¡°There are only two important words in my dictionary, conquer and destroy. I will annihte the opponent standing in front of me, regardless of their abilities or strength.¡±

    Noodle clenched his fist in dramatic fashion before announcing in his most solemn voice, ¡°Join me in bing the ruler of this world and leave our mark in the history books, or you can choose to be banished from this district and be forgotten forever. You have a choice.¡±

    Chrysanthemum nced at the one-eyed cat before letting out a deafening shriek. She immediately got to her feet and spat in Fish Ball¡¯s direction.

    Fish Ball bit back a scream as he narrowly avoided Chrysanthemum¡¯s spit attack. The spity on the floor before vaporizing into green fumes, leaving behind a trail of burnt marks.

    Fish Ball was enveloped in both anger and fear as he reported, ¡°Boss, this cat¡¯s saliva is venomous.¡±

    ¡°Move aside, let me take care of her.¡± The husky took a step forward and blocked Fish Ball from her sight. His eyes met Chrysanthemum¡¯s as he sniggered and announced, ¡°Understand the meaning of despair! Without even using my true strength, the both of you will ...¡±

    While he was exaggerating his ims, he was actually speaking to Nekomata telepathically, ¡°Nekomata, follow my actions and destroy them! Make it as cool as possible!¡±

    After making his grand speech, the husky bolted towards the two cats and roared at the top of his lungs.

    ...

    ...

    ...

    The two supercats were wary of the husky¡¯s ability. However, the attack which they had imagined never materialized. They tilted their heads and stared at each other in disbelief before sweeping their eyes back on the husky.

    Noodle, himself, was equally confused. He put on his most menacing look and pinned them down with his eyes. He continued barking in an attempt to instill fear.

    ¡°Woof! Woof! Woof!¡±

    ¡°Nekomata, what are you waiting for?¡±

    After approximately a minute of pure barking, even Noodle himself could not handle the embarrassment. The fear on the two cats¡¯ face slowly evaporated and was reced with a menacing smile.

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry but I really need to go to the toilet now.¡± Noodle took a deep breath and mumbled a few words, ¡°I¡¯ll be back.¡± Immediately, he dashed out of the bunker with his tail between his legs.

    Chrysanthemum sneered at this sight and cocked her head towards the one-eyed cat, ¡°Scar Eye, your turn.¡±

    Scar Eye watched the pair of cat and dog escape after making their impudent speech and bellowed, ¡°The two of you ... Bastards!¡±

    His words punctured the air and rang in Fish Ball and Noodle¡¯s ears. Suddenly, both Fish Ball and Noodle froze before turning their head around in unison. They stared at Scar Eye furiously as anger thundered through their bodies.

    Immediately, they changed their tracks and bolted towards Scar Eye like a lunatic. They began growling, barking, and biting at Scar Eye.

    However, all their attacks were to no avail. There seemed to be an invisible armor enveloping Scar Eye¡¯s body which was shielding him from the attacks. Nothing was working.

    ¡°Hmph, this is my ability.¡± Scar Eye bellowed withughter as he stared at the pair of cat and dog. He thought, ¡°As long as I infuriate my opponent using words, they will lose control over their body and start attacking me. The extent of the anger will determine the strength of my armor and the duration of the control.¡±

    He sniggered, ¡°Now! Chrysanthemum! Take them out now!¡±

    ¡°Understood!¡± Chrysanthemum stretched open her mouth and started flooding the pair of cat and dog with her saliva. Every drop of saliva would burn a portion of their fur and scald their skin.

    Three secondster, Noodle and Fish Ball finally regained consciousness and control over their bodies.

    ¡°Why did we even attack him?¡± This thought shed through their heads simultaneously. Before they could react to it, they were already screaming in pain.

    ¡°Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!¡±

    ¡°So hot! So hot! So hot!¡±

    Both Noodle and Fish Ball had experienced the devastating impacts of Chrysanthemum¡¯s abilities and cowered in fear when they saw her getting ready for the next onught. Fish Ball immediately ran to a corner while Noodle took a step forward and roared in her face.

    ¡°F*ck your mum!¡± Suddenly, Scar Eye¡¯s voice once again rang in their ears.

    Three secondster.

    ¡°So hot! So hot! So hot!¡±

    ¡°Boohoo!¡±

    ¡°Quickly run now!¡± The cat and dog eximed as they bolted towards the exit.

    ¡°F*cking cowards!¡±

    Instantly, the pair returned with an unprecedented anger pumping through their bodies.

    The surrounding cats gather around to observe this spectacle.

    Scar Eye and Chrysanthemum finally decided to take a break after rounds of maniption.

    Scar Eye cleared his throat and spoke in his raspy voice, ¡°Now, do you understand King Hanada¡¯s power?¡±

    Meanwhile, Chrysanthemum was gulping down bottles of water as the previous attack had left her throat all dry. She felt as if her throat was on fire.

    In front of themid Noodle and Fish Ball. Both of them were already exhausted from the ordeal. Their entire body was covered with bald patches and burnt fur. They looked as if they had been raped by a mammoth.

    Noodle¡¯s body locked up with rage as he stared at the duo who destroyed him, but all he could do was sob.

    Suddenly, Nekomata¡¯s voice once again rang in his head.

    ¡°Haish, I knew that the both of you would not be able to survive without me.¡±

    Tears welled up in Noodle¡¯s eyes when Nekomata¡¯s voice rang in his ears.

    He was screaming at the top of his lungs in his head, ¡°Nekomata! You¡¯re finally back!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m here, I¡¯m here,¡± Nekomata never expected to see the husky breaking down into tears like a 200 pounds fatso. Nekomata could not help but sniggered, ¡°These two fellows are really getting a little out of hand. I can¡¯t even take my eyes off of them for a second.¡±

    Initially, Nekomata wanted to pay a surprise visit to Zhao Yao¡¯s apartment but gave up the thought because of this pair of cat and dog. He went in search for them and was greeted by this embarrassing scene.

    Scar Eye nced at Fish Ball and Noodle lying on the floor and gave a lopsided smile. He eximed, ¡°You two fools, do you finally understand the power of King Hanada? However, I would not mind having a few supercats as our surbodinates, hence you can work under Chrysanthemum and I ...¡±

    Nekomata had already floated to Noodle¡¯s side when Scar Eye was making his pretentious ims. Nekomata had actrivated his powers ording to Noodle¡¯s instructions.

    Finally, Noodle rasied his paw in the air and tighthened them into fists. Immediately, a beam of blinding lot shot out off each eye as he levitated into the air.

    Scar Eye and Chrysanthemum stumbled backwards when they saw this scene. Their expression immediately changed and they looked on in fear.

    ¡°The two of you!¡± Noodle mustered his most menancing look despite his body being covered inburnt and bald spots. He eximed, ¡°You have infuriated me!¡±

    With Nekomata¡¯s psychokinesis, Noodle stretched out his paw and sent Scar Eye and Chrysanthemum flying into a corner of the bunker. Their bodies mmed against the wall before copsing to the floor.

    ¡°F*!¡± Scar Eye rasied his head and was about to rain down on Noodle with profanities. Before he even uttered his first word, the husky had already stretched out his other arm and balled his paw into a fist.

    Instantly, Scar Eye felt an invisible force strangling his neck, preventing from saying a single word.

    Meow!¡±

    When the surrounding cats saw this scene, they jumped out from their positions only to hear the husky¡¯s howl, ¡°Get lost!¡±

    Bam! AN invisible wave of forced swept across the room and sent the cats flying off in all directions. Theyy on the floor, unconscious.

    Fish Ball was amazed by the scene and shouted, ¡°Boss Noodle is invincible! Long live Boss Noodle!¡±

    Meanwhile, terror overtook Chrysanthemum and Scar Eye¡¯s faces. Before they could retliatie, Noodle had already waved his arm which sent another inivisble attack directly onto them. Their bodies flew into the sky before crashing down onto the ground. Both of them were writhing in pain.

    Scar Eye struggled to open his eyes only to see Noodle rasiing his paw once again. Consequently, their bodies floated again and Scar Eyeunched his tirade, ¡°You mother*cking bastard! I f* ...¡±

    ¡°Hmph,¡± mes of anger shot off out of the husky¡¯s eyes. He bolted towards Scar Eye andnded a series of ps, swipes and punches on his face. During the attack, both cats were also struck by a pair of invisible,rge hands which sent them crashing into the wall again and again.

    Both cats copsed on the floor, with their bodies covered in dust. They looked as if they had just been raped.

    At this moment, even though the husky was under Scar Eye¡¯s control, the invisible armour Scar Eye received from the husky¡¯s anger was rendered usless against Nekomata¡¯s attack.

    The onught finally stopped when Noodle finished venting his frustrations. Chrysanthemum and Scar Eye¡¯s eyes were full of fear and they had admitted defeat.

    The beams of light shooting from his eyes finally dimmed down. Noodle looked across the bunker and saw the cats trembling in fear. Instantly, a smile crept up his face.

    ¡°That¡¯s good. From today onwards, I¡¯ll be the new ruler of Hanada district. Who agrees and who disagrees?¡±

    The ordinary stray cats had no problem submitting to his reign. They had always obeyed thew of the jungle, survival of the strongest.

    The two supercats stared at each other and memories of the previous fight flooded their minds. They were both traumatized and in awe of the dog, hence they also submittied to his rule.

    ¡°Excellent!¡± Noodle took a step forward with Fish Ball following immediately behind. He whispered in his head, ¡°My lighst.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡±

    ¡°Use a spotlight and shine it on me.¡±

    Under the stray cats¡¯ watchful eyes, a beam of light descended from the sky and shone upon Noodle¡¯s body. A mysterious and scared aura emanated from his body.

    The dog¡¯s body was bathed in the holy light before he stopped in the middle of the bunker, atop a bunch of catmint. He raised his paw and announced solemnly, ¡°I¡¯ll be King Hanada from today onwards!

    From now on, refer to me Noodle of Hanada district, first of his name. I will conquer all the districtsw in Jiangmen city!

    This district is just the first step towards my destination. Under my leadership, we will set off from here and venture into the depths of the world. We will unite everyone and end all sufferings, hence ushering in a new era.¡±

    ¡°Woof! Woof! Woof!¡± Fish Ball couldn¡¯t help but started barking after hearing the inspirational speech.

    Chrysanthemum and Scar Eyed nced at each other before meowing along. However, Noodle gave them a cold re and they instantly started barking along.

    The remaining stray cats simply followed what the rest were doing, but it seemed as if the ywree cheering after hearing Noodle¡¯s speech.

    ¡°Excellent,¡± Noodle thought, ¡°I¡¯vepleted my the first mission for my grand n. Now, I¡¯ll have to conquer the neighbouring districts and rule over more cats. I¡¯ll take one step at a time towards my dream of world domination.¡±

    A few minutester, the underground bunker had finally resumed its normal acitvities. The stray cats were running around the ce with some lying down and others immersed in catmint.

    Noodle sat in the middle. Next to his feet was a bundle of catmint tied together.

    ¡°This is catmint! I didn¡¯t expect Hanada district to have so many of it!¡± Noodle eximed, ¡°Were you guys the one who collected them?¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± Scar Eye reported, ¡°We sent the cats out to collect them.¡±

    Noodle nodded his head gleefully. He stretched his arm out and grabbed a handful from the ground, ¡°This is wealth. This is power. This is strength!¡±

    Fish Ball took a few sniffs of catmint and revealed a smile which stretched from ear to ear. As a domestic cat, he had never tasted or smelled catmint because Xiao Yu had never bought them. His body was immediately ovee with an intense euphoric sensation.

    ¡°Fish Ball, all the catmint in Hanada district will belong in my paws from today onwards. Our next target is the neighboring district, Hanada II. This allows us to collect more catmint. With every district under my belt, I will have ess to even more catmint. This is my weapon to rule the world.

    When I finally conquer Jiangmen city, I will be in control of all the catmint trade within this city! If any supercats ever want a catmint, they¡¯ll either have to join me or cooperate with me.¡±

    Fish Ball¡¯s eyes glittered in excitement as he eximed, ¡°Big brother! You must let me join you in this grand journey!¡±

    Noodle licked the fur on the back of Fish Ball¡¯s head andmented, ¡°Not bad. I¡¯m right to have chosen you as my assistant. Now,e and give me a massage.¡±

    Fish Ball stood on his feet and walked to Noodle. His meaty paws gave the best massage Noodle had ever received.

    Noodle tilted his head to the side and spoke to Chrysanthemum and Scar Eye, ¡°Come over and tell me your name and your ability. Also, share your story since you¡¯ve awakened your power.¡±

    Chrysanthemum and Scar Eye used to be ordinary cats as well. They awakened their power half a year ago and had utilized them to establish their rule over the district. Even if do nothing for an entire day, they could still survive using the stray catrs¡¯ offerings.

    After talking about themselves, Scar Eye looked towards Noodle and said, ¡°Boss Noodle, there is a golden opportunity for you to rule over Jiangmen city.¡±

    Noodle asked curiously, ¡°Oh, tell me more about this opportunity.¡±

    Scar Eye reported, ¡°The strongest cat kings in Jiangmen city havee together to organize apetition to find out wo¡¯s the strongest of them all. Their strength will dictate the hierarchy amonst the world of cats.¡±

    Nekomata giggled as he floated pass Noodle and overheard the conversation.

    ¡°Rule over the cat kingdom in Jiangmen city? Things are getting really interesting.¡±

    ...

    Because of the caf¨¦¡¯s ongoing renovation, Zhao Yao nad his cat stay in his apartment the following day.

    However, Zhao Yao had gotten ready to leave his house in the afternoon. He had promised his parents to return home for dinner. However, his old house was in the rural area and he required some time to get there.

    He stared at Lightning and Hanako before saying, ¡°I¡¯m going back to my old house and Hanako will being along. I¡¯ll only be able to protect you if you stay by my side.¡±

    Hanako nodded her head and agreed.

    Zhao Yao nced at Lightning who looked at him with his sparkling eyes, overflowing with excitement. Zhao Yao gave a long sigh because it was rather inconvenient to bring an endangered species out. He changed the topic by asking, ¡°Oh yes, I still do not know what¡¯s your power after so long. Care to show us your ability?¡±

    Hanako immediately cocked her head towards Lightning as she too was interested in finding out his power.

    Since learning about the existence of supercats and realizing that her Lightning was part of this exclusive group, she had been waiting to find out what his power actually was.

    Lightning threw his head back as he noticed the spotlight shining on him. He announced proudly, ¡°Since all of you are so eager to witness my power, I shall demonstrate it to you. Be prepared and do not piss your pants.¡±

    Surrounded by pairs of watchful eyes, Lightning¡¯s pupil constricted as he let out a thunderous roar. Immediately, all his fur stood on end, turning him into sea urchin balloon.

    Pas¡¯s cat¡¯s fur was naturally extremely long. Lightning easily doubled in size with his fur erected.

    Lightning eximed the words one by one in a dramatic fashion, ¡°Expansion! Is! Power!¡±

    ¡°This is it?¡± Zhao Yao waited for a moment before asking. He thought that this was just the introductory act before his climatic performance.

    ¡°Obviously I¡¯m done. Am I not big enough? How big do you want me to get?¡±

    Zhao Yao was left speechless by Lightning who had just expanded like a balloon. Zhao Yao then stretched his hand out to caress Lightning¡¯s fur. He did this to understand the mechanism behind the expansion. Did lightning¡¯s body really expand or was he just controlling his fur?

    However, Zhao Yao immediately withdrew his hand after touching Lightning because of the sharp, piercing pain.

    ¡°Is this ... static?¡± Zhao Yao thoughtfully scratched his chin before the corners of his mouth curled upwards, ¡°This is rather interesting.¡±

    After deliberating for a while, he carried Mango over to Lightning and ced him next to Lightning¡¯s feet.

    Instantly, Mango¡¯s fur puffed up to twice its original size, turning him into a grey fur ball.

    ¡°Meowhaha, this is so interesting!¡± Matcha meowed and bolted towards the Pas¡¯s cat. He rammed against Lightning with a loud thud and instantly transformed into a cat twice his original size.

    However, Matcha did not stop. He turned his body around and dashed in Elizabeth¡¯s direction. Elizabeth, who was engrossed in her television drama, could not react in time and collided into Matcha.

    Bam!

    Immediately, Elizabeth¡¯s fur puffed up as well as her fur stood on end. She had turned into another fur ball. She was perfectly spherical in shape and was a few timesrger than Lightning.

    ¡°Meowhahaha!¡± Matcha wagged his finger in Elizabeth¡¯s face as he sniggered, ¡°Elizabeth! You look so fat!¡±

    However, Roly Poly¡¯s eyes shone with happiness. In his head, he thought, ¡°An expanded Elizabeth looks just as cute as ever.¡±

    Dust Ball¡¯s eyes glimmered with excitement as she sprinted towards Lightning shouting, ¡°Hey give me some electricity as well! I want to be huge!¡±

    Before she managed to collide against Lightning, she had already been stopped by Hanako¡¯s arm. Hanako pointed at Dust Ball with her shaking finger and said, ¡°Don¡¯t ... Don¡¯t ...e near me!¡±

    The images of Dust Ball vomiting shit out from her mouth was freshly imprinted in Hanako¡¯s mind. Hanako tilted her head towards Lightning and instructed, ¡°Lightning, never ever let this cat near you. That cat is extremely smelly!¡±

    Meanwhile, Elizabeth was perplexed by Matcha who was bellowing withughter. She craned her neck and took a look at her reflection on the phone. Instantly, terror overtook her face as anger thundered through her body.

    Elizabeth was already rather puffy before this which resulted in others mistaking her for being a fat cat. Now, she looked twice or even thrice as fat as before.

    Just when she was busy reacting to the situation, her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a camera shutter. She quickly turned her around and saw Matcha snapping photos of her.

    ¡°Meowhaha, Elizabeth say cheese! You look so funny like this. I¡¯m going to post this on WeChat and share it with everyone!¡±

    Elizabeth remained rooted to the ground but her expression changed dramatically. A glimmer of red light shed across her eyes as she activated her power.¡±

    ¡°Click!¡±

    Suddenly, Matcha had lost control of his body. He watched as his mouth started to open on its own. Then, his body bent forward as his mouth crept closer to his groin area before it took a hard bite.

    Meow!!!

    A shrilling scream punctured the air and swept across the apartment. Matcha was already lying on the ground, writhing in pain. His eyes were devoid of spirit as Matchaid there bawling in agony.

    ¡°F*ck! Matcha, are you okay?¡± Zhao Yao never expected this to happen as he rushed over to check on his condition.

    Matcha¡¯s eyelids quivered as he slowly lowered his eyes to inspect his precious heirloom. Matcha asked, ¡°Is it still there? Zhao Yao, is my precious still there?¡±

    Zhao Yao carefully inspected the tiny treasure before saying, ¡°Thank goodness it¡¯s alright. It¡¯s just a little swollen but I¡¯m sure you can still use it.¡±

    ¡°Hmph,¡± Elizabeth gave Matcha a cold re before she pranced to his position. Matcha was trembling in fear as he stared at Elizabeth inching towards him.

    Instead, Elizabeth simply snatched the phone out of Matcha¡¯s hand before deleting her photos from his gallery.

    ¡°I¡¯m telling you, sissy. If you ever snap another photograph of me without seeking my permission. I will make sure I turn you into a female myself.¡±

    Matcha did not even dare to blink as he struggled to get the words out,¡± I ... I .. I understand.¡± In his head, he wasining, ¡°Isn¡¯t it just a photo?¡±

    Soon enough, Matcha had already recovered from the harrowing experience and was jumping around in the living room. Zhao Yao shook his head and said, ¡°Alright! Alright! I¡¯ll be bringing you back home as well. I need your help with something.¡±

    As he spoke, he bent down and carried Matcha off the floor and into his arms before he led Hanako to his parent¡¯s house.

    ...

    Silence engulfed the car throughout the journey. The traffic was smooth and they had reached Zhao Yao¡¯s old home in 90 minutes.

    The moment Zhao Yao set foot in the house, his nose was inundated by the fragrance of home-cooked food. Zhao Yao took a deep breath in and was greeted by that familiar smell ¨C the food that he had eaten since young. A smile found its way up Zhao Yao¡¯s mouth.

    ¡°Your son is back!¡±

    ¡°Oh, I thought you had forgotten your way home. You even brought your cat back?¡±

    ¡°Old man, what are you trying to say? It¡¯s not every day that your son gets toe back home to visit us. Come here and take a sip of the pork ribs soup that I¡¯ve been preparing for hours. I went all the way to the market this morning to get the freshest ingredients!¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s mother noticed Hanako hiding behind Zhao Yao and instantly beamed from ear to ear. She was certainly pleased with Hanako¡¯s appearance.

    His mother even secretly whispered to Zhao Yao, ¡°Zhao Yao? Is she a Japanese? Japanese are nice people. You don¡¯t have to worry, your mother here is extremely understanding. I will definitely support you. From the looks of it, she seems really polite and sensible.

    However, there¡¯s something that I cannotpromise with. Your children must stay in China. I will not let them stay in Japan. I¡¯ll go crazy if I don¡¯t get to see my beloved grandchildren.¡±

    Zhao Yao almost choked on his banana when he heard those words. He immediately exined, ¡°What are you even thinking about? She is a domestic helper who I recently hired. She is not good enough for me.¡± This was the story which Hanako had agreed with.

    ¡°Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror? If I were you, I¡¯ll be over the moon if I ever get to marry a beautiful girl like her.¡±

    Zhao Yao lifted his shoulder in a half shrug and could not bother exining to his mother.

    ¡°It¡¯s time to find out whether my parents are apostles.¡±

    Matcha was devouring the food in his cat bowl, just like an ordinary cat, until Zhao Yao uninstalled Mobile Legends from his phone in his face.

    ¡°D*mn it, Zhao Yao! What are you trying to do?¡± Matcha was not angry but just somewhat confused as he could easily re-download the game if he wanted to.

    Zhao Yao shook his head at this sight and decided to re-download the game. He tapped on the application and sold Matcha¡¯s most beloved game skin.

    Matcha¡¯s loyalty instantly dropped by one point.

    ¡°Zhao Yao! What are you trying to do? Do you know how long it took for me to save up to buy this skin? Are you even human?¡± Matcha trembled with fury as rage swept over him.

    Zhao Yao then exined, ¡°Try to lend your superpower to my parents. I want to check if they are apostles. After this, I¡¯ll charge RMB 100 to your ount.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s eyes lit up the moment the words rang in his head.

    Zhao Yao had mastered the mechanisms of his BOOK. His supercats would not be able to lend their powers to other apostles once their loyalty hit 100 points. Hence, Zhao Yao had to lower Matcha¡¯s loyalty to conduct this test.

    Matcha tried a few times but there were no signs of his power being sessfully lent out. Zhao Yao concluded that his parents were not apostles.

    ¡°Alright, alright, I¡¯ll transfer some money to your ount.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s loyalty increased by 10 points.

    The atmosphere during dinner was warm and pleasant. It proceeded well with brief interruptions by Zhao Yao¡¯s mother as she began bantering with Hanako. She asked about Hanako¡¯s family background and marriage views which Hanako politely declined to answer. Meanwhile, Zhao Yao also failed to gather any information on supercats.

    Both his parents were ordinary factory workers. They led a peaceful and ordinary life here. They were not proficient with the inte and had not fully understood how their smartphone worked. Their source of information came solely from the government¡¯s official news site.

    It would be a herculean task to educate this elderly pair on the existence of supercats and superpowers. Even if Zhao Yao broached the topic and told them about his new identity, it would only cause them to worry incessantly. Furthermore, they weren¡¯t even apostles themselves.

    ¡°Never mind, I¡¯ll get Inspector Ho to help out instead.¡± Hence, Zhao Yao contacted Inspector Ho to send some people over to take care of his parents¡¯ safety.

    After a hearty meal, Zhao Yao used the excuse of starting apany with his partner to exin his current situation.

    ¡°Mother, it¡¯s alright. We have attracted many investors and we¡¯re doing very well. You don¡¯t have to worry about me.¡±

    He left some money with his parents before making his way back home. Hanako was always hiding behind Zhao Yao with her amiable smile. She behaved just like a Japanese wife.

    When he was walking along the streets, Zhao Yao felt the scurry of rain pelting against his chest. Once again, he had left the warmth andfort of his family to face the harsh realities of the world alone.

    He zipped up his jacket before heaving a long sigh, ¡°Time passes so quickly. It¡¯s almost autumn and the weather is getting rather chilly. Hanako, don¡¯t worry about my parents¡¯ words. They are old and like to bber about nonsensical things.¡±

    Hanako shook her head and responded, ¡°Your parents are very loving and kind.¡± Meanwhile, another thought shed across her head, ¡°A pity they had no idea their child had gone crazy.¡± She could not help but felt sorry when she looked in Zhao Yao¡¯s direction.

    Matcha who stood next to Zhao Yao stretched his body beforeining, ¡°Let¡¯s go back, Zhao Yao! There isn¡¯t even wifi here!¡±

    Soon enough, they had almost made their way out of the district. Suddenly, Matcha climbed onto Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulder and startedining, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! I want to go the toilet! Toilet!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyebrow shot up as he asked Matcha, ¡°Can¡¯t you just hold it in until we get back home?¡±

    Matcha retorted, ¡°Try and hold it in yourself! I¡¯ve been holding it in since our journey here. I have not visited the toilet for the past five hours and you still expect me to hold it in? Are you still a human? What if I fall sick from this? Try and hold in your pee for six hours. My dder is going to burst!¡±

    Zhao Yao shrugged his shoulders and responded, ¡°Alright! Just settle your business inside the bushes. We¡¯ll be waiting for you at the entrance of the district.¡±

    Matcha leaped from Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulder and disappeared into the bushes.

    Zhao Yao was getting a bit impatient from waiting for Matcha and had no idea what¡¯s holding him up. However, Zhao Yao¡¯s body suddenly froze when he noticed a couple standing by the gates. They cuddled together and stared at each other affectionately. They even started kissing in front of Zhao Yao.

    From his angle, he could only see the woman¡¯s face as the guy was back facing him.

    The man wore a green jacket, coupled with a pair of jeans. His hair was kept in a neat pompadour. Other than his rtively thin frame, there was nothing special about him.

    On the other hand, the girl wore a long-sleeved romper which gave others a rather yful impression.

    Zhao Yao froze because of the girl¡¯s identity. She was Zhao Yao¡¯s younger sister, Zhao Xue.

    ¡°Hmph,¡± Zhao Yao was carefully evaluating the guy based on his looks and appearances. He realized that his sister had noticed him as well. She awkwardly rubbed her chin as she looked in his direction. Zhao Yao thought, ¡°I guess my sister has reached the age where she gets in a rtionship. Zhao Yao, you must learn to step back and not interfere.¡±

    ¡°Indeed, I must maintain my image as the cool elder brother and pretend that everything is normal. I cannot embarrass my younger sister.¡±

    ¡°However, I¡¯m still a little pissed.¡±

    Zhao Yao constantly reminded himself while he nodded in his sister¡¯s direction before he walked up to them. He asked, ¡°Hey, I heard you were pretty busy with school. What brings you back today?¡±

    Zhao Xue replied nonchntly, ¡°I¡¯m here to pick up some stuff.¡±

    The two of them who were originally glued together immediately separated. Zhao Yao was taken aback when the guy turned around and revealed his face.

    Zhao Yao scanned him from head to toe. He had a pretty face but was rather skinny. The anomaly was the curvature of his chest. Zhao Yao finally understood what it meant. She was actually a girl dressed in a man¡¯s clothing.

    Zhao Yao opened his mouth but had difficulty reacting to the situation, ¡°Hi.¡± Cold sweat beaded his forehead as he thought, ¡°Oh my god, is she really a girl? Is my sister a lesbian? D*mn it! Why am I getting excited from this?¡±

    The girl hesitantly nodded her head and asked, ¡°Hi, and you are ...¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s my brother.¡± Zhao Xue interrupted with her scarlet face, flushed with embarrassment. She couldn¡¯t even make eye contact with Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Oh, hi bro.¡± Evidently, the girl realized that Zhao Yao had witnessed their intimate behavior and she became somewhat edgy. She exined, ¡°I¡¯m Zhao Xue¡¯s ssmate, Li Jing Yi. We just came out today for some fun.¡±

    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s alright.¡± Words started to fail Zhao Yao as he had no idea what to say. He stared at them briefly before saying, ¡°It¡¯s good to hug. Don¡¯t be nervous. I have no prejudice against people like you. Actually, I¡¯m a feminist.¡±

    ¡°What are you even saying?¡± Zhao Xue¡¯s body locked up with rage as she stared daggers at Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes. She screamed, ¡°Zhao ... Zhao Yao! I¡¯m warning you. Do ... do not spout nonsense in front of dad and mum. Do you understand? Xiao Jing and I are just ordinary friends.¡±

    ¡°Then why can¡¯t I mention her name to dad and mum if you¡¯re just normal friends?¡± Zhao Yao said with a shrug of his shoulders.

    Rage swept over Zhao Xue and she reacted by doing the only thing she knew: kick Zhao Yao on his shin. She shouted, ¡°Just ... just don¡¯t say anything about this.¡±

    Zhao Yao took a deep breath to suppress the intense pain and sneered, ¡°Do not worry. Our mum is such an enlightened individual. I¡¯m sure can understand your behavior. Hmm ... but our dad might get a heart attack from this.¡±

    Zhao Xue retorted, ¡°If you understand our dad, I guess you know what not to do.¡±

    Hanako who observed the entire incident startedughing and asked, ¡°Is that your sister?¡±

    Zhao Xue turned her head towards Hanako and asked in a voice of disbelief, ¡°Is she your friend?¡±

    Hanako took a deep bow and announced, ¡°Hi, I am Zhao Yao¡¯s newly hired employee. My name is Hanako. Nice to meet you.¡±

    ¡°New employee?¡± Zhao Xue was shocked beyond words and could not believe her eyes. She was taken aback by Hanako¡¯s wless white skin and tiny frame. Her cute face even made Zhao Xue blushed.

    In her memories, Zhao Yao had always been an indolent andzy individual who simply waited for time to pass. His performance was at most average in whatever he did, be it working or studying. She can¡¯t believe he had actually hired an employee, particrly such a cute employee.

    ¡°Hanako, are you Japanese? Hanako, I¡¯m telling you that my brother is not a fuerdai. He did not strike a lottery nor is his bank ount frozen. Do not fall for his lies.¡±

    Hanakoughed in response and replied, ¡°I understand. Allow me to paraphrase, I hope Zhao Yao will take me in as an employee.¡± Hanako looked at Zhao Xue before her eyes swept back to Zhao Yao. She thought, ¡°Zhao Xue¡¯s appearance was at least worth 90 points. Meanwhile, Zhao Yao would barely hit 80 if she included all his positive traits. I wonder who the adopted child is.¡±

    Zhao Yao could not help but gloat, ¡°See, I told you. Your brother is extremely popr nowadays. Recently, I opened a caf¨¦ with a few other friends. Also, I bought an apartment that¡¯s worth over RMB 10 million.

    Hanako is also my employee. Look at you, haha. I didn¡¯t expect you to have this sort of interest.¡±

    Zhao Xue¡¯s face turned crimson, however, she channeled her embarrassment into anger as she retorted, ¡°Do not mention this to dad or mum. If not, I¡¯ll tell them that you went to Thand for a sex change surgery. Xiao Qing, let¡¯s go.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s temple throbbed with rage as he imagined his parent¡¯s reaction when they hear Zhao Xue¡¯s baseless ims.

    Li Xiao Qing remained rather awkward as she said, ¡°Bye brother. Do not worry, I¡¯ll take good care of Xiao Xue.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the point of talking to this piece of shit?¡±

    As their shadows disappeared into the horizon, Hanako could not help butughed, ¡°You are quite close to your sister, aren¡¯t you?¡±

    ¡°Close? I think we are arch enemies.¡± Zhao Yaoughed bitterly. He never expected such an incident to happen in his life. He then started recalling his rtionship with his sister.

    Zhao Yao was the most average and ordinary student in his school. On the other, his sister was the total opposite. She was like a dazzling diamond.

    She had topped her ss since her first year in primary school. Now, she was an all-rounded student in the nation¡¯s top university, the captain of the female basketball team.

    Her healthy tan skin was the result of her long hours toiling under the zing sun. Her toned body was the product of hermitment to her sport. She was also very popr in school because of her active participation in all sorts of activities.

    Naturally, Zhao Yao¡¯s parents especially doted this perfect daughter ¨C their precious gem. Even their rtives mentioned t her when boasting to their friends.

    Comparatively, Zhao Yao was rather insignificant. His parents never had any high hopes of him doing well in life.

    Zhao Yao let out a long sigh before exining, ¡°We were rather close when we were young. However, we grew distant after she entered college. I never expected her to be interested in her own kind.¡± Zhao Yao then buried his hands in his hair.

    Hanakoforted him by saying, ¡°It¡¯s not that bad ...¡±

    At this moment, Matcha returned with a mysterious smile on his face. He announced,¡±Zhao Yao, do you have any idea what I just saw? I saw two girls fooling around with each other. Is that cool or what?¡±

    ¡°You are so full of shit.¡± Zhao Yao bent down and carried Matcha into his arms before pping him on the back of his head, ¡°Come, let¡¯s catch up with them.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Hanako could not believe her ears as she rified, ¡°Are you stalking your own sister? I don¡¯t think that¡¯s advisable. The encounter just now wasn¡¯t ideal. If she knows that you stalk her, she will be really angry ... Wait or maybe you¡¯re afraid that she gets into some sort of trouble?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Zhao Yao took a few sniffs in his sister¡¯s direction and said, ¡°There¡¯s a strong cat smelling from my sister.¡±

    ¡°Cat smell?¡± Hanako stood rooted to the ground and had not reacted to the situation.

    Zhao Yao continued by exining, ¡°It¡¯s not the normal smell you get from ying with stray cats. Such an intense smell is only possible if you have a cat at home. Furthermore, there were lots of cat fur on her skirt.¡±

    Hanako seemed to be in deep thought when she asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, are you worried that she has a supercat at home?¡±

    ¡°Hmph, you can never be too careful with anything that¡¯s rted to cat nowadays.¡±

    Hanako looked at Zhao Yao who suddenly turned all serious and thought, ¡°Even though this guy is a pervert, he is still rather concerned about his family members.¡±

    Matcha cried in agony, ¡°When can we go home?¡±

    Hence, Zhao Yao began his mission to stalk his sister. His sister did return home to pick up some stuff before she made her way back to college. She then proceeded to a small garden next to the school¡¯s cafeteria.

    From their position, they could only see two shadows moving about in the darkness. Hanako grew very curious and asked, ¡°What are they doing?¡¯

    A series of keywords flew across Zhao Yao¡¯s head: Night, college, garden. Immediately, he had arrived at a conclusion.

    ¡°This can only mean one thing.¡± A dark thought shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s head, ¡°What can they do at the garden in the middle of the night? This is bad. Should I go and stop them? However, they are both girls. What would they think if they realize that I¡¯ve been stalking them all the way from our old house?

    However, if I don¡¯t stop them, I would let a pair of teenagers go down this slippery path of darkness. It¡¯s still not toote to turn over a new leaf. Mum and dad would be furious if they hear of this.

    I can;¡¯t think of any solution.I¡¯ll just take some photo as evidence, I¡¯ll settle this when Ie up with a good solution.¡±

    Just when Zhao Yao was fishing his phone out of his bag, a series of meows grabbed his attention.

    Hanako screamed in delight, ¡°Look, there are so many stray cats!¡±

    With Zhao Xue at the center, hordes of stray cats started appearing in all directions as they converged towards her.

    Next, the two girls took out some cat food from their bags and started feeding them.

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes andmented, ¡°So they were just here to feed cats.¡±

    Hanako asked curiously, ¡°What else can they do?¡±

    ¡°Nothing.¡± Zhao Yao replied, ¡°Be on your toes. There might be supercats amongst them.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 215: Fat Cat and the Pursuit</h4>

    ¡°Isn¡¯t feeding stray cats a really good thing to do?¡± Hanako suppressed herughter and continued, ¡°I remember I also had the habit of feeding stray cats during my college days. I had no idea why but the stray cats on university campus were especially affectionate towards people.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head in agreement. Certainly, cats living in schoolpound were particrly affectionate. Furthermore, among the many youngsters living within the campus, a huge proportion of them were cat-lovers. They would shower their favorite cats with love and food. Not only were these stray cats well fed, they also had much more interaction with humans.

    Soon enough, Hanako and Zhao Yao had already stood there for more than 10 minutes, observing Zhao Xue¡¯s behavior. Matcha stretched his body over Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulder as he let out a loud yawn. He grumbled, ¡°Can we go back yet? Why are you spending so much time observing cats eat? Are you guys crazy?¡±

    Zhao Yao lifted his shoulder in a half shrug and replied, ¡°Alright, I don¡¯t think there are any dangerous characters lurking around. We will leave in a minute¡¯s time.¡± Based on his astute observation skills, there weren¡¯t any supercats living amongst the stray cats.

    Zhao Yao propped his chin on his hand as he thought, ¡°With the huge cat poption living in the campus, is it possible that none of them have awakened as supercats?¡±

    With the thought at the back of his head, the stray cats which buried their heads in the cat food suddenly raised their heads in unison. They cocked their head towards the direction of the small garden.

    A shadow emerged from within. From the looks of it, it was a rather fat animal. The stray cats immediately took a few steps back when the shadow crossed paths with them and presented their cat food to this unknown figure.

    Finally, Zhao Yao managed to make out its appearance. She was a tri-colored female cat, predominantly covered in silky white fur. Her spine was adorned with ck and yellow stripes.

    Other than her unusually fat body, the unique aspect of her appearance was her ¡®moustache¡¯, which was just some ck fur beneath her nose. However, it somehow exuded a majestic aura.

    Matcha was bbergasted by this cat¡¯s appearance and asked, ¡°Did Roly Poly just change skin?¡±

    ¡°How can that be Roly Poly? She¡¯s just another cat that is just as fat as Roly Poly.¡± Zhao Yao chuckled, ¡°It seems like she receives quite a lot of food from the other cats to maintain this figure. She might be their queen.¡±

    Zhao Xue¡¯s eyes shone with excitement when she noticed the cat. She rushed over and eximed, ¡°Lion Head! You¡¯re here? I thought you weren¡¯ting today.¡±

    She then kneeled down before carefully sprinkling a handful of cat food in front of the fat cat.

    ¡°Hmph, this cat food isn¡¯t too bad.¡± The fat cat grabbed it and brought it to her nose before taking in a deep breath. She opened her mouth and devoured it in one bite. Then, she raised her meaty paw in the air and waved in Zhao Xue¡¯s direction.

    ¡°What are you doing? I didn¡¯te here just for this. Come over here now.¡±

    Zhao Xue was not a stranger to this scene. Even though she had no clue what the fat cat was saying, she immediately stretched her hand out, in front of the cat¡¯s face. Lion Head then rested her paw on Zhao Xue¡¯s palm before both of them simultaneously shut their eyes.

    When Li Jing Yi witnessed this scene, she was both excited and envious as she cupped her mouth with her hand.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao and Matcha immediately tilted their head to each other when they saw this. A glimmer of shock shed across their eyes.

    ¡°It¡¯s a supercat!¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao, your sister is an apostle.¡±

    Zhao Yao squinted his eyes into a hard line and seemed to be deep in thought.

    After some time, Zhao Xue¡¯s eyes finally opened before she took in a deep breath and whispered, ¡°We havepleted today¡¯s mission.¡±

    Li Jing Yi, who stayed right next to her throughout the process, asked, ¡°Xiao Xue, did you inform your family about this?¡±

    ¡®I guess it¡¯s better that I keep this a secret.¡± Zhao Xue said as she bit her lower lip, ¡°Everything turns so much moreplicated and dangerous in the world of supercats. My parents and my brother are just ordinary people. I just want them to live a peaceful and stable life. Knowing the truth about supercats might just rob them of the opportunity to do so.¡±

    Zhao Xue heaved a long sigh before continuing, ¡°The world of superpowers and the world which they are used to are totally two different worlds.¡±

    The two chatted for a while more before Li Jing Yi said, ¡°Zhao Xue, I¡¯ll be going back first. Don¡¯t stay up toote as well.¡±

    Zhao Xue nodded her head before revealing a lopsided smile. She swung her left arm across Jing Yi¡¯s waist and pushed her body against hers before kissing her on the cheek. Jing Yi struggled to no avail as her face instantly turned crimson.

    Zhao Xue finally decided to let go after quite some time. She smiled when she noticed Jing Yi¡¯s innocent expression and muttered, ¡°Hmph, you should return first. I¡¯ll be ying with Lion Head before returning to the dormitory.¡±

    Jing Yi tucked a lock of hair behind her ear embarrassedly before she took her leave. The tri-colored cat known as Lion Head shook her head before she sauntered towards the depths of the jungle.

    Lion Head turned around and noticed Zhao Xue was not following behind. She then shook her head once more to gesture Zhao Xue to follow behind her.

    Zhao Xue¡¯s brows shot up as she asked confusedly, ¡°Lion Head, you want me toe with you?¡± Excitement raced through her as she eximed, ¡°Is today finally the day?¡±

    Lion Head nodded her head before continuing down the path.

    Happiness coursed through Zhao Xue as she was beaming from ear to ear. She chased up to Lion Head and followed closely behind her.

    With their shadows disappearing from sight, Hanako tapped on Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulder and asked, ¡°They are leaving. Do you want to follow them?¡±

    Zhao Yao simply nodded his head and walked towards that direction. Even though he had no idea what to do if his sister realized that he had been stalking her all this while, only one thought lingered in his head for now: protect Zhao Xue.

    Matcha sat on the ground with his arms folded across his chest and grumbled, ¡°When can I finally return home? Zhao Yao, why don¡¯t you just knock your sister unconscious and then tie her up before bringing her home?¡±

    ¡°Are you stupid? She will realize that I¡¯ve been stalking her if I do that. Coupled with what I saw just now, I¡¯m quite sure she¡¯ll break all familial ties with me.¡± Zhao Yao gave a gentle pat on the back of Matcha¡¯s head before he cocked his head towards Hanako and instructed, ¡± I believe my sister has been embroiled in the world of supercats. I need you to follow me.¡±

    Hanako was surprised by the sudden change of tone but nodded her head in response.

    Hence, the trio quickly started moving behind Zhao Xue and Lion Head. With Zhao Yao¡¯s acute sense of awareness, he was able to keep up with them without them realizing their presence.

    Suddenly, a frown crept up Zhao Yao¡¯s face when they came to the mouth of a sewer system.

    Hanako stared at Zhao Yao with a look of confusion and asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, what¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Zhao Yao bent down and scrutinized the manhole before saying, ¡°They went down this ce.¡±

    ¡°Huh? But this hole is so small, I think even that cat might have difficulty entering it.¡± Feelings of doubt crossed Hanako¡¯s mind as she tried to measure the entrance to the sewage system. She asked, ¡°Are you sure they went in here?¡±

    ¡°Hmph,¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s chest rose as he drew in a deep breath. He thought, ¡°Based on their scent, they had definitely entered through this manhole. The fat cat should not even be able to enter it, let alone Zhao Xue. I can force Matcha to go in, but ...¡±

    His forehead puckered together as his eyes swept across his surroundings, in search of another entrance to the sewage system. However, it was to no avail.

    ¡°Only one possibility remains.¡± Zhao Yao whispered, ¡°Is this the work of a superpower ...¡±

    ¡°Wait for me.¡±

    Instantly, Zhao Yao had channeled Dust Ball¡¯s power and had absorbed himself into his extradimensional belly before calling on Dust Ball.

    In Hanako¡¯s eyes, all she saw was Zhao Yao disappearing for a split second before re-appearing in the same spot, with an adorable ck cat cradled in his arms.

    ¡°Eh, isn¡¯t that Dust Ball? Isn¡¯t she supposed to be at home?¡± Hanako was startled by her abrupt appearance and immediately took a few steps back. She was afraid that Dust Ball would start vomiting shit out of her mouth again.

    ¡°I have no time to exin everything, they are already quite a distance away from us.¡± Zhao Yao exined matter-of-factly, ¡°Hanako, I need you to enter Dust Ball¡¯s belly with me.¡±

    Zhao Yao raised his pam in the air before balling it into a fist. Instantly, his deflective field expanded and then contracted before lifting the cover to the manhole.

    ¡°Dust Ball, Matcha, I need the both of you to enter this manhole and follow behind my sister. You must do your best to protect her. Dust Ball, remember to maintainmunication with me. Alert me to the situation. If you encounter anything dangerous, release me immediately.¡±

    Dust Ball opened her mouth to reveal a different dimension swirling within it.

    Before Hanako could react to this phenomenon, Zhao Yao had already grabbed her hands and led her into Dust Ball¡¯s outstretched mouth.

    ¡°No! I do not want to go in!¡± Hanako struggled with all her might as she was inches from Dust Ball¡¯s mouth. It was like being forced to jump into a furnace.

    Left with no options, Zhao Yao cast an illusion on her before tricking her into the extradimensional belly.

    Zhao Yao and Hanako¡¯s bodies turned into two solid lines before they were absorbed into Dust Ball¡¯s mouth as they disappeared into thin air.

    Dust Ball shut her mouth as the corners of her mouth curled up. She remarked, ¡°It has been a really long time since I¡¯ve had a chance to mix around with some stray cats. Let¡¯s go.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Matcha nced at the manhole as terror overtook his face. He eximed, ¡°It¡¯s too dirty. My snow-white paws would instantly turn ck and the stench is unbearable. How about I just wait for you over here?¡±

    Dust Ball turned a deaf ear to Matcha¡¯s request and rammed his butt using her foot, sending him straight down the manhole. Instantly, their vision was nketed in darkness.

    Ares and the other cats were sleeping soundly within the extradimensional belly.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao and Hanako sat at a spot not too far away from them.

    This being her first visit to the extradimensional belly, Hanako was naturally awestruck by it. She stared wide-eyed at this amazing ce and asked, ¡°Is this also a superpower? It¡¯s so magical. Is it a space maniption power? Are we inside Dust Ball¡¯s belly?¡± Inside her head, she thought, ¡°Thankfully this ce doesn¡¯t smell as bad as her mouth.¡±

    ¡°Hmm, I guess you can say that.¡± Zhao Yao was stillmunicating with Dust Ball to understand the situation outside. He continued, ¡°Other than Dust Ball and myself, no one can enter this ce without our permission. This is the ultimate safe haven. The thought of keeping you here did cross my mind.¡±

    ¡°Erm, I guess I can pass on that.¡± Hanako said as she wiped off the sweat from her forehead, ¡°Will Matcha and Dust Ball be alright?¡±

    ¡°There won¡¯t be a problem. Do not worry.¡± Zhao Yao pounded his chest and dered, ¡°Even though they might seem a littlezy and stupid, but you can definitely count on them in times like these.¡±

    ...

    On the other hand, Matcha and Dust Ball were exploring the mysterious sewage channels.

    ¡°It¡¯s so dark in here.¡±

    ¡°It smells so bad.¡±

    ¡°Dust Ball, are you still there?¡±

    ¡°Can you any louder than this?¡± Dust Ball turned her head around and shot a death re at Matcha, ¡°Are you even a cat? Even I feel embarrassed on your behalf.¡±

    ¡°These sewage channels are really disgusting. Please let me enter your extradimensional belly!¡± Matcha pleaded as he tugged at Dust Ball¡¯s hind legs. He then took a look at his snow-white paws and realized that they had turned grey. There was also an indescribable sticky sensation which he cannot tolerate.

    Dust Ball curled her lips in disgust and sneered, ¡°You can¡¯t even take this bit of grime and dirt? You¡¯ll have to thank your lucky stars if you get to stay here when you¡¯re living in the wild. Even though it might be a little dirty, but the safety it provides more than makes up for it. There are worse ces to be in.¡±

    After making her point, Dust Ball turned her head around and continued down the path, turning a deaf ear to Matcha¡¯s incessantining and grumbling.

    Soon, they had already traveled a few hundred meters and had crossed umpteen junctions. Even though they had not seen Zhao Xue or Lion Head, but they could still detect their scent.

    At this moment, two shadows emerged from an intersection up front. The shadows inched closer and blocked Dust Ball from proceeding further down. Because of her bad eyesight, Dust Ball only recognized them as Zhao Xue and Lion Head when they stood right in front of her. They had detected their presence andid an ambush for Dust Ball and Matcha.

    Lion Head roared, ¡°Why are the two of you following us?¡±

    Dust Ball and Matcha were shocked beyond words as they stared at the pair of cat and human. Actually, their eyes were glued to Zhao Xue.

    Zhao Xue originally stood at 1.7 meters but had shrunk to the size of a human¡¯s palm. Even her romper had shrunk ordingly. She sat on Lion Head¡¯s back as she eyeballed her stalkers.

    Matcha thought, ¡°Oh, so is this the power to expand and shrink? She even managed to shrink Zhao Xue¡¯s romper. This exins how the both of them managed to enter the manhole.¡±

    Finally, Matcha spoke, ¡°We are just some random stray cats that had just arrived at this ce. Are you guys the supercats residing on the campus?¡±

    ¡°Oh, you guys are also supercats?¡± Lion Head nodded her head proudly when she realized that Matcha was capable ofmunicating with her via their shared consciousness. Lion Head then started speaking in an extremely solemn tone, ¡°To my new supercats, I am the cat king of the north, the ruler of this district. What is your purpose foring here? Is it for war, or is it for peace?¡±

    ¡°You stu ...¡± Dust Ball instantly pressed her paw against Matcha¡¯s mouth before he could start offending Lion Head. She whispered, ¡°Shut your mouth and let me do the talking.¡±

    ¡°Meow ...¡± Matcha struggled with all his might as he pried the paw off of his mouth. Matcha ran off to the side and started spitting non-stop. He eximed, ¡°So smelly! So smelly! So smelly! Do you know how dirty your paws are from walking along these filthy sewage channels? Why did you use it to touch my mouth?¡±

    Dust Ball waved her paw awkwardly in the air and tried to put on her most amiable look before saying, ¡°Hi, cat king of the north. We were banished by the cat king of our original district. We came to this ce in search of friendship. We would like to join forces with you. If you don¡¯t mind, can this ce be our new haven?¡±

    Lion Head stared at Dust Ball and Matcha with a look of suspicion and abruptly asked, ¡°Are the two of you domestic cats?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, we ...¡±

    Bam! Dust Ball sent a tight p across Matcha¡¯s cheek and started bellowing inughter.

    ¡°Meowhaha, how can the two of us be domestic cats? We are pure-blooded stray cats. Initially, we lived in the malls on the southern side. Who even wants to be a pet? The notion itself disgusts me. I¡¯ll just grow fat and stupid if I stay in a human¡¯s house!¡±

    While Dust Ball was fabricating their background, she instructed Matcha telepathically, ¡°Zhao Yao instructed us to stalk them and find out what they are doing. Do not tell them that you are domestic cats. Stray cats despise us, domestic cats.¡±

    Matcha pouted and set his lips in a hard line.

    Lion Head listened to Dust Ball¡¯s story and nodded her head. She announced, ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, I would like you to join us. You guys are really lucky because something momentous is about to happen today. You cane and witness it.¡±

    Lion Head instantly turned her head around after extending her invitation. However, Zhao Xue who was sitting on her back continued to stare at Matcha. She thought, ¡°Why does this cat seem so sneaky?¡±

    Throughout the journey, the cat king of the north introduced the current situation in Jiangmen University to Dust Ball and Matcha.

    The school which Zhao Xue currently studied in, Jiangmen University, had a huge campus ground. However, a road ran through the middle, hence dividing the campus into two: the northern campus and southern campus.

    To an ordinary human, a sixne road was amon sight. However, a sixne road could be the difference between life and death to an ordinary cat.

    Even though it was one university, cats had divided it into two territories with the sixne road as the border separating them.

    Lion Head was the king of the northern campus.

    Lion Head dered, ¡°Today, we are going to meet the silly fools of the southern campus and negotiate with them. We will decide on who is going to represent us in thepetition?¡±

    ¡°Competition? What kind ofpetition?¡± Matcha asked.

    Lion Head¡¯s right eyebrow shot up as she stared at the pair of cats, ¡°You guys don¡¯t know about thepetition?¡±

    ¡°Meowhahaha,¡± Dust Ball pped Matcha on his back and used herughter to divert Lion Head¡¯s attention. Dust Ball exined, ¡°This guy over here just came from the vige. He is still rather ignorant about life in the city.¡±

    ¡°Oh, hees from the vige?¡± Immediately, Lion Head changed the way she looked at Matcha. There was a tinge of disdain emanating from her eyes. She sniggered, ¡°No wonder this vige bumpkin reeks of the vige stench. He doesn¡¯t even know about the cat kingpetition in Jiangmen city.¡±

    ¡°Me? Vige bumpkin?¡± Matcha wagged his tails in anger. In his head, he was screaming at the top of his voice, ¡°This cat has the audacity to call me a vige bumpkin? I think she should just stare in the mirror and take a look at her hideous ck spots. Has she ever yed Mobile Legends? Does she have WeChat? Why does she even have the cheeks to call me a vige bumpkin?¡±

    ¡°Alright, alright, just give in to her for now. Zhao Yao had given us clear instructions to follow her. Do not foil the n.¡±

    ¡°No, I want to beat her up and kill her now.¡± Matcha stretched out his right paw and unleashed his razor-sharp ws, ¡°I¡¯ll use this pair of musician paws to send her to the afterlife.¡±

    Dust Ball pounced onto Matcha and cupped his nose with her mouth. An intense stench flooded Matcha¡¯s nose instantly.

    ¡°Stupid cat, if you hinder me frompleting this mission, I¡¯ll force feed you with shit till the day you die.¡±

    Matcha instantly covered his nose with his paw and took a few steps back, ¡°Tsk, I have no idea what Zhao Yao used to entice this stupid cat. Why is she even so serious?¡±

    Meanwhile, Lion King was oblivious to themotion and continued to exin the details of the cat kingpetition.

    The cat kingpetition was arge-scalepetition jointly organized by Jiangmen city¡¯s four strongest cat kings, using one on one fight as a method to determine the territory for the respective cat kings.

    The contender would be the representative for their individual areas, be it their district, street or even school.

    The ultimate victor would be crowned Jiangmen city¡¯s cat king. With the help of the four cat kings, the winner would rule over the entire Jiangmen city until the winner of the following year¡¯spetition took over.

    ¡°Even though it¡¯s stated as a cat kingpetition on paper, but it doesn¡¯t matter if cats or their apostles go out and fight. Admittedly, humans are better at wielding certain power aspared to cats.¡±

    Lion King¡¯s nostrils red and her eyes burned with excitement as she announced, ¡°And today will be the day we decide who is to represent Jiangmen University for thepetition.¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao propped his head on his chin as he listened to Dust Ball¡¯s recount inside her belly. A frown appeared on his face as hemented, ¡°The organization of stray supercats has already developed to this stage? Evidently, they have already informed and nned a series of activities for the entire city. Dust Ball, have you ever heard of the four cat kings?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Dust Ball replied, ¡°I have left the world of stray cats for months. Obviously, I¡¯m not kept up to the date with thetest news. However, back when I was roaming the streets, supercats had already started dividing their territory based on districts and streets. Every area would have their own cat kings.¡±

    ...

    Matcha listened to Lion Head¡¯s exnation and rified, ¡°Why can there only be one representative? Can¡¯t we just send out more cats for thepetition?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Lion Head replied with a shake of her head, ¡°Thepetition has clearly stated that there can only be one contender for each area. He can either be a cat or an apostle but there can never be two cats or abination of a cat and an apostle. This is to ensure fairness.¡±

    Zhao Yao listened to Dust Ball¡¯s recount and nodded his head. He thought, ¡°This is why they had to decide on the representative because everyone shares the same chance of being crowned cat king.¡±

    ¡°However, the ability to inform all the supercats in Jiangmen city of thispetition is rather remarkable. Is this done with the aid of a superpower? Or is it done with the help of human intervention? Or maybe the government is behind all this?¡±

    The trio of Lion Head, Dust Ball, and Matcha continued down the path. Soon, they had reached a crack which could barely fit a cat.

    Matcha nced at the crack and asked, ¡°What is this?¡±

    Lion Head exined, ¡°Behind this crack is a dugout. Originally, they had sealed the entrance leading to it but recent earthquakes caused the walls to crack, creating a new entry point. This is the venue for today¡¯s discussion.¡±

    The group of cats went through the cracks and entered the hall of the dugout. Darkness flooded the room but the cats could roughly make out their soundings with their keen eyesight. The unusuallyrge hall was adorned with high ceilings and had plenty of space. It seemed like the dugout was previously used as a warehouse.

    When the trio entered the hall, it was already swarming with cats. At least a hundred cats huddled inside the grand hall. Meows, growls, and snarls inundated the ce.

    Only a few torches were switched on despite the pitch-dark surrounding, however, that was sufficient for the cats to see and observe their environment.

    Shock overtook Dust Ball¡¯s face as she whispered, ¡°I never expected so many cats to be here.¡±

    ¡°Of course,¡± Lion Head announced smugly, ¡°Today, all the stray cats living in our territory havee forth to witness this discussion. The fate of Jiangmen University is dependent on the oue of today¡¯s debate. Obviously, everyone must be here to observe this momentous hour.

    Matcha rolled his eyes as he mumbled, ¡°These retards are so stupid, what¡¯s the point of them being here.¡±

    Lion Head cocked her head towards Matcha and mustered her most menacing snarl. She eximed, ¡°They are still your family by blood. Even though they might not be as intelligent as us, but they still have emotions and thus have the rights to express themselves!¡±

    ¡°But that does not change the fact that they are still retarded.¡±

    ¡°GRRR!¡±

    Seeing that both cats were on the verge of breaking into a fight, Dust Ball instinctively pped Matcha on the back of his head and retorted, ¡°What the f*ck are you trying to do? Do you dare to refute Boss? Do you still intend to live at Jiangmen University?¡±

    Matcha wanted to teach Lion Head a lesson so badly, but he held his cool when Dust Ball¡¯s voice rang in his head. Instantly, he was depleted of his urge to start a fight.

    ¡°Zhao Yao said that if you continue to mess things up, he will take away your wifi the moment we get home.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry formitting this mistake!¡±

    Matcha fell to the floor before turning around to reveal his belly. By forcing the most courteous smile that his mouth could possibly make, Matcha tried his best to appease Lion Head and atone for his mistakes.

    Following Lion Head¡¯s arrival, the swarm of cats separated into two halves and opened up a path along the middle. From it emerged a maroon Dragon Li, which instantly started eximing the moment it noticed Lion Head, ¡°Big sister, what took you so long today? Why did you bring Zhao Xue along for today¡¯s discussion? And who are those two cats behind you?¡±

    ¡°Zhao Xue¡¯s ability can help act as a bargaining chip during the discussion. Furthermore, she can lend us her power if the discussion ends up in a fight. These two fes are cats I picked up along the way. They are my subordinates. The small and ck cat is a rather sensible fe but the big, fat orange cat is quite dumb. Do spare some extra effort to take care of them.¡±

    Naturally, these thoughts weremunicated telepathically to the maroon Dragon Li. Lion Head opened her mouth and announced, ¡°These two are Dust Ball and Matcha. They are my newly recruited subordinates.¡±

    ¡°This is Baozi, my most loyal subordinate.¡±

    The two parties nodded at each other before updating the other party on today¡¯s situation. Even though there were hordes of stray cats gathered today, but Lion Head and Baozi were the only supercats from the northern campus. Hence, they yed an integral role in determining the fates of everyone here.

    However, they were not alone today. They had brought along Zhao Xue and the two supercats which she picked up during their journey here. This gave Lion Head a much-required confidence boost for the discussion.

    Suddenly, the swarm of cats separated into two halves again, opening a path down the middle. This time around, two cats slowly sauntered in elegantly, with their tails standing on end. These were the two supercats representing the southern campus.

    They were the king of the south, Airne, and hisckey, Sausage.

    Airne was a long-furred cat with orange stripes adorning the length of its body. From the looks of it, Airne was most probably a mixed blood between a Persian cat and a tabby. Immediately, its voice echoed down the length of the hall, ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t that Lion Head, our dear sister? We haven¡¯t seen each other for a few days and you had already grown fat.¡±

    Lion Head carefully let Zhao Xue down when she heard Airne¡¯s voice. She walked up to Airne to wee him and sneered, ¡°Isn¡¯t that Airne? It¡¯s only been a few days and you¡¯ve already grown uglier than before.¡±

    ¡°What kind of bullshit are you spouting?¡± Sausage roared as he charged out from behind Airne. With his fingers wagging at Lion Head¡¯s voice, he retorted, ¡°Stupid fat bitch, watch your words!¡±

    Simrly, Baozi dashed out from behind Lion Head andnded a tirade of words on Sausage, ¡°What the f*ck are you trying to do? When did it be your turn to talk? Do you even know the rules here?¡±

    The somewhat cordial greetings instantaneously morphed into a heated argument the moment the two parties met.

    The stray cats surrounding the two parties puffed up their fur in their attempt to intimidate their opponent as they cheered on their respective cat kings.

    Matcha rested his chin on his paws and pressed his ear downwards when themotion started. He thought, ¡°Why do they have to scream and shout so loudly. At this rate, they are definitely gonna die from this.¡±

    Dust Ball simply observed the action unfurl from afar and had no intentions to take any action. She exined, ¡°This is the unspoken rule in the world of stray cats. Before the start of any battles, the side that has the louder roar would gain an advantage over the other party.¡±

    As the intensity of the screams and shrieks heightened, Zhao Xue could not help but cup her ears with her hands to block out the ear-splitting noises. Finally, Lion Head let out a thunderous roar and announced, ¡°This is enough, Airne. Does this mean that you¡¯re uninterested in a discussion by allowing your subordinate to create an uproar? If you¡¯re not interested in talking, we can start a fight right here and right now. I, Lion Head, have ruled over Jiangmen University for years. I have even bitten the principal before. Do you think I¡¯m actually afraid of you?¡±

    ¡°Lion Head sister, it¡¯s not that I¡¯m uninterested in a discussion but it¡¯s your subordinate, Baozi, who is not co-operating with us. Do you know he raped Sausage¡¯s wife the previous month? Now, she¡¯s here to find the father of her unborn kitten.¡± The long-furred Airne eximed, ¡°Settle this thing first before we move on to our agenda. If not, how am I supposed to face my fellow cats? By then, they would lose all respect for me and how am I supposed to rule the campus?¡±

    Lion Head turned her head around swiftly as fury poured out of her eyes. She death-red her subordinate, Baozi, and asked, ¡°Is Airne speaking the truth?¡±

    Baozi lowered his head in shame before whispering, ¡°Big sister, it¡¯s not as straightforward as he imed. The female cat seduced me.¡±

    ¡°There are rules in the world of stray cats. Haven¡¯t I told you to nevery your hands on defenseless female cats?¡±

    Baozi copsed onto the floor and whispered, ¡°I really did not make the first move.¡±

    Meanwhile, Matcha added fuel to the fire by saying, ¡°Are you serious? You don¡¯t even dare to admit your mistakes after f*cking the female cat? Are you even going to disown your own child? I think you should just go back to catching rats.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s words captured the attention of all the cats within the hall. Immediately, tens of pairs of eyes swept towards him, including Airne and Sausage.

    Airne arched his back and squinted his eyes into a line when he heard Matcha¡¯s insolent words. He threw Matcha a cold re and remarked, ¡°Lion Head sister, today we came here to resolve a domestic issue. Why did you invite an outsider here?¡±

    Lion Head took a step forward and stood in front of Matcha. She roared, ¡°Airne, do not do anything stupid. He is not an outsider. He is a brother of the northern campus.¡±

    Matcha craned his neck over Lion Head¡¯s shoulder and sniggered, ¡°Is your name really Airne? Don¡¯t you find your name a little stupid?¡±

    ¡°D*mn it, are you sick of living?¡± Sausage dashed out with his finger pointing in Matcha¡¯s face, ¡°Do you know that Boss Airne hates it when people poke fun at his name?

    Bam!

    Airne sent a p across Sausage¡¯s face before instructing, ¡°Get lost.¡± With his eyes glued to Lion Head, he spoke calmly, ¡°Lion Head sister, your friend here does not understand the rules in our world. Since you are the ones who flout the rules in the first ce, I guess I can only follow suit.¡±

    With a deafening roar, swarms of stray cats appeared from the two channels leading to the hall.

    Lion Head¡¯s pupils constricted when she saw the wave of cats flooding the ce. She was especially taken aback by the cat leading the charge. Baozi huddled to her side and whispered, ¡°Sister, that is Uncle Egg from the neighboring district, what do we do now?¡±

    Worry snaked through Lion Head as she began to swing her tail around restlessly. Dust Ball couldn¡¯t understand why they suddenly turned so fidgety and came up to ask, ¡°Who is this supercat?¡±

    Baozi immediately gave a detailed introduction to this cat¡¯s background, ¡°Uncle Egg is a tabby that is almost nine years old. He spends all his time grooming his fur, ensuring that they were speckless and free from dirt. He is a respected and highly-regarded cat in our area. Many stray cats in our district are even rted to him by blood. I think my grandfather¡¯s grandfather was Uncle Egg¡¯s son.

    By using his seniority and connections, he grasped control over the catmint cirction in more than ten districts in Jiangmen city.¡±

    Dust Ball¡¯s eyes sparkled with excitement the moment she heard the word, catmint. In her eyes, Uncle Egg had instantly transformed from an old cat to a treasure chest.

    Other than the cats living on the northern campus, the remaining cats flocked to Uncle Egg¡¯s side and stood behind Airne and Sausage.

    Instantly, the tables have turned as the supercats ratio turned to 3: 4.

    Airne, Sausage and Uncle Egg VS Lion Head, Baozi, Matcha and Dust Ball.

    Lion Head rubbed her temples at this sight and asked, ¡°Uncle Egg, what are you trying to do bying here tonight? Are you trying to interfere with our domestic territorial discussion?¡±

    Airne stretched open his mouth and revealed his razor-sharp teeth. He eximed, ¡°Fat bitch, Uncle Egg has always found you a pain in his ass. If you are smart, you should just relinquish your position. From today onwards, I, Airne, will be the sole ruler of Jiangmen ...¡±

    ¡° beeebee boo boo!¡± Matcha interrupted Airne¡¯s grandiose im.

    Airne suppressed his anger before continuing, ¡°From today onwards ...¡±

    ¡° bee poot!¡±

    ¡°Are you done with your nonsense?¡± Airne retorted as his body locked with rage. Sausage, who stood by his side, charged forth and began tussling with Lion Head¡¯s subordinates.

    Uncle Eggmented, ¡°Alright, alright, just stop arguing. You guys have it too easy nowadays. Back in my time, fights were only over food and never over suchme issues.¡±

    Airne interrupted and said, ¡°Uncle Egg, times have changed.¡±

    ¡°Regardless how much things have changed, one thing will always stay the same. Thew of the jungle. Whoever has the tougher w, sharper teeth will reign supreme. That also applies to the election of our boss. At the end of the day, it¡¯s about selecting a representative for thepetition and there¡¯s no point in selecting a useless cat. The two of you should just fight it out. Whoever who wins will be crowned the king of the entire Jiangmen University.¡±

    Chatters erupted amongst the cats as they broke up into discussions. Lion Head regained her confidence and stared at Airne before saying, ¡°Are you up for it? I will send my apostle.¡± Lion Head turned around and pointed to Zhao Xue who stood behind her.

    Zhao Xue was still in her shrunken state and looked powerless to even defend herself from a rat.

    Airne¡¯s eyes swept towards Zhao Xue as he scrutinized her from head to toe. He roared withughter and said, ¡°I knew that you would send your apostle given how weak you are. Come forth, my apostle.¡±

    Following Airne¡¯s meows, a shadow emerged as his group of cats pushed his apostle forward.

    Zhao Xue recognized the apostle the moment she appeared in their sights. Her stout figurebined with her curly hair and all white uniform could only be one person. Zhao Xue eximed when light from the torches illuminated her face, ¡°Thedy working in the cafeteria?¡±

    ¡°Indeed! Thedy working in the cafeteria is my apostle.¡±

    ¡°Despicable fe.¡± Lion Head¡¯s temple throbbed with rage as she roared, ¡°How can you use thatdy as your apostle. Zhao Xue would nevery her hands on the school¡¯s staff.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, do not make your problem mine.¡±

    Aunty Wang stared at Zhao Xue who had shrunk to the size of a toddler and asked with a look of confusion, ¡°Little kid, why are you here? Do you know what is going on? After work, this group of cats suddenly surrounded me and started meowing non-stop. They led me to this ce and I have no idea what¡¯s going on.¡±

    Zhao Xue could only give a bitterugh.

    Instantly, Airne and Lion Head began drawing all sorts of doodles on the ground using their paws. From time to time, they would roar at each other. It seemed as though they were exining the situation.

    Matcha was perplexed by their behavior and whispered into Dust Ball¡¯s ears, ¡°I didn¡¯t know that these bunch of fools were literate.¡±

    Dust Ball nodded her head as she replied, ¡°It seems like all awakened cats are literature. I have no idea why though.¡±

    Momentster, Zhao Xue looked in Aunty Wang¡¯s direction and rified, ¡°Aunty Wang, do you understand? We are about to fight. I believe you have also been endowed with certain power.¡±

    ¡°What is this nonsense? How can Iy hands on a kid?¡± Aunty Wang shook her hands in the air and shouted, ¡°I need to go back now, I still have to prepare the ingredients for the following day.¡±

    Zhao Xue raked her fingers through her hair helplessly before exining, ¡°Aunty Wang, these are supercats. They can ...¡±

    Just when Zhao Xue was about to exin the situation to Aunty Wang, a beam of silver light shed across her eyes and crashed into Zhao Xue¡¯s head with a loud nk.

    ¡°Hey!¡± Zhao Xue kneeled down on the ground and rested her head on her palms. She eximed, ¡°Why did you hit me?¡±

    With a hugedle in her hand, Aunty Wang sniggered, ¡°Heehee, do you really think that I¡¯m so ignorant? Attack!¡±

    Instantly, thedle came flying towards Zhao Xue.

    Zhao Xue took a few steps back to evade the attack. Suddenly, her body expanded and she had morphed into three meters tall mini giant instantaneously. This was the power Lion Head had given her ¨C the power of expansion. After expanding, her physical strength had also grown correspondingly, giving her a much-needed power boost. Every movement of her arms sent shockwaves into the surrounding.

    ¡°What an amazing power!¡± Dust Ball eximed as she stared at Zhao Xue in awe. With a look of envy, Dust Ball shouted, ¡°I also want the power of expansion.¡±

    ¡°Despicable!¡± Zhao Xue roared as she sent her unbelievably long legs straight towards Aunty Wang¡¯s body. It was as if a totem pole was flying towards Aunty Wang.

    Aunty Wang remained unfazed against Zhao Xue¡¯s attack. She simply waved herdle in the air in an elegant manner and managed to dodge the attack with a swing of her hip.

    Zhao Xue gave a coldugh before she took a few steps forward. She thenunched a barrage of punches on Aunty Wang. Each punch produced a mini shockwave that resulted in a huge explosive sound. The impact of the attack even caused the concrete floor, which she stood on, to crack.

    Faced with this seemingly unavoidable attack, Aunty Wang somehow managed to avoid it by executing a series of dance-like moves. Astonishingly, not even a single hitnded.

    She guffawed as she dodged, ¡°You know what, at the rate that I¡¯m dancing at, even Usain Bolt cannot catch up to me. Do you think you actually stand a chance?¡±

    Lion Head stared dumbfounded at this scene. She eximed, ¡°How is this possible? After evolving into a mini-giant, Zhao Xue¡¯s body had surpassed that of an ordinary human. How can she miss all her punches?¡±

    ¡°Why not? When ites to superpower, it is not solely dependent on explicit factors like the user¡¯s body condition and mental state. It¡¯s also dependent on theirpatibility.¡± Airne announced gleefully, ¡°My power, constant flux, will never allow the opponent to predict my next move. I have the power to control probability.¡±

    ¡°My power is the perfect match for Aunty Wang. I had a few apostles but she was the only one who could unleash the full potential of my ability.¡±

    Lion Head remained bewildered and shouted, ¡°Why?¡±

    ¡°Haven¡¯t you heard of the saying? You never know what the cafeteriady is doing behind your back and you never know where the line dancers are going to perform next. Coincidentally, Aunty Wang is a cafeteriady and a line dancer. All her actions brimmed with uncertainty.¡± Just when Airne was in the midst of his exnation, his eyes sparkled with excitement as he eximed, ¡°Get ready for her next attack!¡±

    Lion Head looked on with a face of confusion. Meanwhile, Zhao Yao who was eavesdropping from inside the belly had a clue as to her power.

    ¡°Compatibility? I guess being a cafeteriady and a line dancer are just what you see on the surface. The true reason lies in Aunty Wang¡¯s personality and habits. No, it¡¯s not just her habits. The reason why she uses adle as a weapon and her dance moves as her defense is that her behavior during these activities is a perfect match for Airne¡¯s power.¡±

    Meanwhile, light from the torches reflected off of thedle sent beams of light erupting in all directions. Zhao Xue couldn¡¯t even see the position of thedle when Aunty Wang came charging towards her with thedle in hand.

    ¡°As long as I can shake mydle fast enough, I can even shake away the void in my heart.¡±

    Thedle turned into afterimages as the words poured out of Aunty Wang¡¯s mouth. She went straight for Zhao Xue.

    The orange Persian cat, Airne¡¯s, ability ¡®Constant Flux¡¯ would prevent the opponent from ever predicting his next move. In the context of the current battle, Zhao Xue would never be able to evade Aunty Wang¡¯s attack regardless of how she dodged. Simrly, Zhao Xue would nevernd a single attack on Aunty Wang regardless of the attack she threw at her.

    In the span of a few minutes, Aunty Wang hadnded a barrage of attacks on Zhao Xue. Zhao Xue¡¯s face swelled till it was beyond recognition.

    Airne burst outughing and sneered, ¡°It¡¯s futile. You stand no chance against Aunty Wang. I¡¯m the winner of this match.¡±

    Lion Head replied in a calm andposed manner, ¡°That¡¯s too early to say.¡±

    Suddenly, Zhao Xue bent down and stared at the floor. She whispered, ¡°It¡¯s finallyplete.¡±

    Aunty Wang was taken aback by Zhao Xue¡¯s words and simrly looked towards the ground.

    Because of the intense battle, the concrete floor had been destroyedpletely. Pieces of concrete bs were strewn all over the ground with rocks and pebbles littered across the battlefield.

    ¡°You have already lost.¡± Zhao Xue let out a coldugh before she sent the pebbles into the air with a sweep of her foot. Then, she pped her hands together which unleashed an enormous wave in Aunty Wang¡¯s direction.

    The strength of a 3 meters giant like Zhao Xue was unparalleled. The only reason stopping her from annihting Aunty Wang was her inability tond a single strike.

    The enormous wave sent the pebbles, which was in the air, flying towards Aunty Wang. The pebbles rained on her like bullets from a machine gun. The pebbles came in all directions, rendering it impossible to dodge this attack.

    ¡°Airne¡¯s power also has its limitations. Even though Aunty Wang is extremely adept at dodging, but as long as my area of coverage isrge enough, I should be able to ...¡±

    Everyone witnessed how Aunty Wang tried to dodge the storm of pebbles but was still struck by quite a number of them. She fell to the ground unconscious amidst the chorus of clunks.

    Zhao Xue immediately rushed forward and cushioned her fall. Thankfully, she was only knocked unconscious by the attack but did not suffer any serious injury. Zhao Xue finally heaved a sigh of relief when she realized Aunty Wang was still alive.

    Aunty Wang¡¯s eyelids quivered as she struggled to open her eyes. She looked at Zhao Xue and whispered, ¡°You won.¡±

    ¡°Meow! Meow! Meow!¡± They stray cats from the northern campus broke out in cheers while the maroon Dragon Li shouted, ¡°So do you admit defeat?¡±

    Airne stared indignantly at Lion Head¡¯s side who were busy cheering. He eximed, ¡°This does not count. Aunty Wang only received her power recently. She has not fully mastered her control over the power and I would like to request for a re-match.¡±

    ¡°Re-match! Re-match!¡± Sausage started chanting behind Airne, ¡°Give Aunty Wang some time to train and she¡¯ll definitely be stronger than Zhao Xue. Our chances of winning will be higher if we sent Aunty Wang as our representative.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the meaning of this, Airne? Are you trying to go against your words?¡± Lion Head retorted as anger seared through her.

    Uncle Egg, who was a bystander, let out a long sigh andmented, ¡°Airne, you have to admit defeat when you lose. You should never run away from your failures. If you do not keep your word, no one would ever respect you as their leader.¡±

    ¡°You silly old man I¡¯ve been putting up with you for a long time,¡± Airne roared, ¡°I asked you toe here to help me. I didn¡¯t ask you to lend support to that stupid fat bitch. Who cares about rules in this day and age? I only know that the strongest will prevail.¡±

    Suddenly, Airne arched his back and started pacing around the ce, adopting his natural hunting stance. Amazingly, his body started turning blurry and everyone couldn¡¯t make out his actual position. Evidently, he had activated his power.

    Sausage who stood beside him roared as all his fur stood on end before turning into metal spikes. He had instantly transformed from a cat into a metal porcupine.

    Meanwhile, the horde of stray cats standing behind them puffed up their fur and flooded the ce with their ear-splitting meows.

    ¡°If you want to fight, we shallply. We, the northern cats, have never shied away from a fight.¡± Lion Head let out her most fearsome roar as her body expanded. In the blink of an eye, she had evolved into a tiger. The cats standing behind Lion Head snarled in response.

    The corner of Uncle Egg¡¯s eyes crinkled as he let out a deafening meow. Immediately, sparks erupted from the surface of his skin.

    Within the span of a minute, the entire ce was in shambles as some cats snarled at each other while others were already fighting against one another. Even though Zhao Xue had no idea what they were saying, she grew flustered and repeatedly tried to stop their argument.

    However, a furious cat could never be stopped by words alone. After a chorus of meows, Airne was the first supercat to strike. His body started turning blurry and areas his paws swiped past turned into afterimages. Suddenly, streams of blood started spurting out of his victims¡¯ bodies.

    Seeing this, the remaining stray cats went forth to take Airne down. The chaos inside the room was indescribable. Stray cats would simply fall to the ground whenever a supercat passed by them.

    ¡°Stop fighting!¡± Aunty Wang eximed only to see the tiger sprinting towards her.

    The dugout had instantly turned to shambles, flooded with meows and shrieks.,

    Zhao Yao who was still inside the extradimensional belly said, ¡°I cannot allow them to continue fighting like this. Dust Ball, let me out. Matcha, stop them.¡±

    At this critical juncture, Matcha took a step forward and roared, ¡°All of you, stop right now!¡±

    Not a single cat listened to Matcha¡¯s instruction.

    Anger shot out of his eyes as he repeated, ¡°All you trash stop what you¡¯re doing! Do you hear me?¡±

    Immediately, tens of pairs of eyes swept towards Matcha¡¯s direction. However, what they saw petrified them as they broke out in screams and stumbled to the ground. More and more pairs of eyes stared in Matcha¡¯s direction and their reaction was all the same. Soon enough, the entire battlefield hade to a standstill.

    ¡°Hmph, are they in awe of my fearsome aura?¡± Matcha stared at his own paws in delight. He turned his head around and saw Zhao Yao climbing out of Dust Ball¡¯s mouth, but could only see his head at that point. From the looks of it, Dust Ball was about to expel a human head out of her mouth. It was frightening.

    ¡°Meow!¡± Matcha copsed to his feet when he saw this scene. He finally reacted to it and eximed, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? If you want toe out,e out in one entire piece!¡±

    Zhao Yao shrugged his shoulder and shouted, ¡°Hanako, let go of my hand, I¡¯ll be back in a second.¡±

    Inside the belly, Hanako was clutching onto Zhao Yao¡¯s waist and shouting, ¡°No! Zhao Yao! Do not leave me here alone! It is too dark!¡±

    While Zhao Yao was busy pacifying Hanako, the stray cats had also recovered from their initial shock and the ce started to quieten down. They just stared at Zhao Yao and Dust Ball with a look of confusion.

    Lion Head roared, ¡°What the hell is this?¡±

    Baozi shouted, ¡°It¡¯s a hybrid between cat and human!¡± He turned his head around and looked in Uncle Egg¡¯s direction before shouting again, ¡°Uncle Egg is unconscious! The sight of this creature has knocked Uncle Egg unconscious!¡±

    Airne and Sausage were also taken aback by this baffling sight. Airne¡¯s voice trembled as he spoke, ¡°Hi, Mr. Warrior, did you eat a human?¡± In his head, he was shouting at the top of his voice, ¡°This is crazy! Too crazy! How can a cat eat a human? I can never be an enemy of this cat!¡±

    However, Zhao Xue and Aunty Wang had no idea what was going on. The dugout was only illuminated with a few dimly lit torches. Even though it was bright enough for cats to see, that was not the case for humans.

    Zhao Xue slipped a curious nce at Aunty Wang and asked, ¡°What happened? What¡¯s going on?¡±

    Meanwhile ...

    ¡°This is so troublesome!¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead puckered together as he was left with no choice. He said, ¡°Dust Ball, can you help expel Hanako out of your belly as well?¡±

    Zhao Yao would never let Hanako out of the belly and exposed her to an environment swarming with supercats because her safety directly affected the probability of his mission¡¯s sess. However, he can¡¯t just remain in this position forever.

    With a loud whoosh, Zhao Yao and Hanako were expelled out of Dust Ball¡¯s mouth and into the dugout.

    With the power of ¡°Three is better than two¡±, Zhao Yao executed a half somersault beforending gracefully on the ground.

    Meanwhile, Hanako just fell to the ground with a loud thud. She slowly struggled to her feet before opening her eyes to a sea of cats. She let out a shriek and dashed to Zhao Yao¡¯s side, ¡°Zhao Yao, why are there so many cats here?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s why I told you to stay inside the extradimensional belly but you chose toe here.¡±

    Hanako looked into Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes and replied earnestly, ¡°I will go wherever you go. I am only safe when I¡¯m beside you.¡± Actually, she was sniggering in her head, ¡°Are you kidding? Who would stay in that ce which is so dark and filled with so many foreign supercats?¡±

    ¡°What the f*ck! So it¡¯s just a superpower?¡± Lion Head bellowed before continuing her battle with her opponents.

    Following Lion Head¡¯s roar, the chaos resumed in the dugout as screams and shings flooded the ce. Even Uncle Egg was awakened by the incessant shouting and his body once again illuminated with beams of blinding light.

    A thought shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s head, ¡°I still have to stop them. Furthermore, there are so many supercats and stray cats in here. I can use them toplete my chain mission of establishing my cat kingdom. I can also use them to expand the scale of my cat caf¨¦.¡±

    ¡°However, if I just grab them against their will, they would not submit to me as their owner. Controlling them in the future would impossible... I muste up with something good ...¡±

    Zhao Yao could not simply resort to violence to solve this problem since the cats here did notmit any crimes or offenses.

    Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t make up his mind on a single method to address the problems in this battlefield. Suddenly, he was notified of a change to the mission panel on his BOOK. He had a new mission.

    Mission: Only your cats deserve the title of Cat King

    Objective: Ensure that one of the supercats registered under your BOOK is crowned Cat King of Jiangmen University

    Reward: 300 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes beamed with excitement when he read the content of his new mission. He thought, ¡°Not bad. By crowning one of my cats as the new Cat King, they would instantly respect my authority. This is way better than forcing them to submit to me by resorting to threats.¡±

    Zhao Yao had made up his mind and he started shouting at Matcha telepathically, ¡°Matcha, I need you to fight against the cats and make then submit to you wholeheartedly. Then, you¡¯ll be crowned the Cat King of Jiangmen University.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± An rm rang in his head as Matcha retorted, ¡°Are you sending me to my grave? There are so many cats here! If every single one of them takes a single bite off of my body, I would be excreted as feces in a few days¡¯ time.¡±

    ¡°Do not worry, I¡¯ll be here to help you. You just have to act along¡±

    Instantly, Matcha¡¯s eyes shimmered with confidence. As his longestpanion, Matcha knew exactly how strong Zhao Yao was. With Zhao Yao¡¯s support, Matcha burst out intoughter and walked to the middle of the dugout. He even turned his head around and shouted, ¡°Oh yes, do not forget to help me record this moment. I want to show it to Elizabeth when I get back home! Previously, she called me a stupid sissy! Now, I¡¯ll show her just how much of a man I am!¡±

    Zhao Yao curled his lips in disgust when he heard those obnoxious words. However, he still whipped out his phone from his pocket. By heaving a short sigh, he had already activated his power of illusion.

    Matcha started encircling the dugout in top speed as he shouted at all the cats, ¡°All of you! Stop what you are doing! Right now!¡±

    Airne threw a condescending re at Matcha and sniggered, ¡°This is none of your concern, foreign vige bumpkin. Get lost!¡±

    Lion Head retorted at the top of her voice, ¡°He is not a foreigner! He is a new member of the northern campus!¡±

    Matcha roared, ¡°Enough! All you pieces of shit, stop it!¡± This time, Matcha managed to capture the attention of all the supercats. He stuck out his tongue arrogantly before he started licking his razor-sharp ws like a rebel. He announced, ¡°From today onwards, ptui! Ptui! Ptui!¡±

    ¡°Why am I licking my paws? They smell so bad from the journey here!¡± Matcha simmered with anger as his eyes swept across the supercats standing in front of him.

    Matcha dered, ¡°All you rubbish, it¡¯s time for you to meet your savior. In this time of confusion and uncertainty, only true power will prevail. You can only depend on violence to survive.¡± Matcha shot out his ws and continued, ¡°And I, George Matcha, am the strongest cat in this day and age. Cats regard me as a natural disaster while humans see me as their arch-nemesis.¡±

    While Matcha was delivering his grandiose speech, his body started to transform as well. Well-toned and enormous muscles started appearing all over his body. First, it was his deltoids. Then, it was his chest followed by his abs. Finally, it culminated in his back andts. He propped his head on his ws before announcing, ¡°Violence is justice!¡±

    ¡°You have to depend on me if you would like to survive in this dark, corrupt world! You have toe to me, the savior of the cat race! Joining me is your only chance at survival!¡±

    ¡°You stupid brat!¡± Airne could no longer suppress his anger at Matcha. In his eyes, Matcha had been acting macho all this time which infuriated him. Instantly, he activated his power and his body flew towards Matcha like a phantom.

    All eyes were on Matcha as he waved his paw in the air and shouted at Zhao Yao, ¡°I want Luban¡¯s power!¡±

    Matcha pointed his fingers at the sea of cats and roared, ¡°Invincible shark cannon!¡±

    Instatensouly, a rocket emerged from nowhere and went straight for Airne, crashing mercilessly into his face. A deafening explosion ensued as Airne¡¯s body mmed across the ground. ¡®Constant Flux¡¯ endowed Airne with phenomenal dodging abilities but it was futile against arge-scale illusion. Naturally, he could not avoid the attacks within the illusion.

    ¡°Meowhaha, guns and rockets are the true definitions of justice!¡± Matcha¡¯s ws slowly scanned the room before pausing at a group of cats. Suddenly, there were two rifles resting on his paw. At hismand, cannonballs rained down on the cats as their bodies were illuminated by the res. The attack knocked them out instantly.

    ¡°Air support!¡±

    The halos which were scattered all over the ground levitated into the air and stormed towards the cats. Any cat within 3 meters from the halos was struck by a destructive force that materialized out of thin air, knowing them unconscious instantly.

    More than half the stray cats had been destroyed in a matter of seconds. Even the supercats were struggling to fight off the insane firepower.

    Uncle Egg eximed, ¡°Everyone! Spread!¡±

    Matcha immediately stared in Uncle Egg¡¯s direction after hearing his words. The bullets instantly changed direction mid-air and went straight for Uncle Egg. Some cats made use of this opportunity to escape. Meanwhile, Lion Head let out a menacing roar and dashed in Matcha¡¯s direction.

    Matcha simply threw away the guns in his hand and fished out a spear from his fur. The spear expanded the moment he wielded it in his hand.

    Zhao Yao observed Matcha¡¯s obnoxious behavior and could not help but reminded him, ¡°Don¡¯t just spend your entire time acting cool. Remember to impress them so that they would crown you as their king.¡±

    ¡°I know! You just have to co-operate with me by ...¡±

    ¡°No, no, no! There are still some things that I have to do.¡±

    On one hand, Matcha was busy fighting against the masses of cat within the illusion. On the other hand, Matcha was discussing with Zhao Yao on their next course of action.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Xue observed the entire incident transpired with her heart in her throat. The stray cats started falling to the ground like domino pieces while Lion Head had been destroyed by the opponent with one blow. Zhao Xue shouted as she sprinted towards Matcha, ¡°Stop it!¡±

    A three meters Zhao Xue seemed more ferocious than a lion when she was charging at you at full speed. Every step she took produced a thunderous roar. She swung her arm across the ground in an attempt to grab Matcha.

    However, all she managed to grab was thin air. Matcha had literally evaporated from his position.

    ¡°Are you guys done ying yet?¡±

    Zhao Xue tilted her head upwards only to see the ceiling of the dugout reced by the night sky. An enormous cat head was staring at the stray cats and her. Behind the cat head was a giant halo sparkling against the night sky.

    All the stray cats suddenly realized that they were lying on the giant cat¡¯s meaty paws. They were surrounded by beautiful white clouds as a gentle wind blew across their faces. They were no longer in the chaotic dugout. There were no more bullets, missiles, and rockets in this beautiful and serene environment. The cats could not believe their eyes but everything just felt so realistic.

    Fear snaked through Zhao Xue as she stared at her surrounding in shock. She thought, ¡°Are you joking? How can a superpower actually achieve this?¡±

 Chapter 221: King Georgeâ€™s Rule

    <h4>Chapter 221: King George¡¯s Rule</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao had some ideas to convince the cats to crown Matcha as their king and to provide them afortable environment to live in. However, the first and most crucial step was to prevent himself and Matcha¡¯s identities from getting exposed.

    With a genial smile stered on his face, Matcha looked at the supercats and Zhao Xue resting on his palm, ¡°Superpower can do this.¡±

    Lion Head struggled to get to her feet. With both fear and curiosity, she looked towards Matcha and asked, ¡°Who are you?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve already told you that I¡¯m George Matcha.¡± Matcha slowly uttered the words to create a dramatic effect. He continued, ¡°The reason for my existence in this world is simple. My only goal is to improve cats¡¯ lives and to alleviate the pain and sufferings they have endured in this world. I will ensure they have food to eat and catmint to sniff on. I¡¯m asking you again, would you join me by naming me your cat king?¡±

    The cats turned around and stared at one another. Evidently, they were still very fearful of George Matcha.

    The orange Persian cat, Airne, was the first cat to step forward and refuted, ¡°I do not submit to your rule! I will never ept you as our leader regardless of how strong you are! I¡¯ll simply leave Jiangmen University if ites to this!¡±

    ¡°Hmph, Little Airne, I think you have not learned your lesson.¡± Matcha reached out his paw as he spoke. The cats detected the presence of an invisible giant pawing their way as it came swooping towards Airne. With Airne firmly grasped in his paw, Matcha began spinning him and toying with his body.

    Embarrassment and anger shed across Airne¡¯s eyes as his templed throbbed with frustration. He repeatedly meowed at Matcha to get him to stop but was futile in his attempts. Regardless of how his body turned blurry, he was still unable to escape from Matcha¡¯s clutches. Airne was unable to offer any sorts of resistance as Matcha continued ying with him.

    Sweat beaded their foreheads as the supercats and Zhao Xue witnessed Airne¡¯s humiliation in Matcha¡¯s paws. A thought shed through all their heads, ¡°This George King ... is too cruel!¡±

    ¡°Huh? Airne, what did you just say? I can¡¯t really hear you.¡± Matcha brought Airne to his eyes and asked, ¡°Did you just say that you agree?¡±

    Airne who remained in Matcha¡¯s paws nodded his head vigorously.

    A contented smile finally found its way to Matcha¡¯s mouth as he once again revealed his genial smile. The halo behind his head shone brighter than ever. Matcha eximed, ¡°Great! It¡¯s such a surprise that you¡¯ve turned so sensible. Oh my, look at your fur. You¡¯re almost furless already. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll help you take care of it. You don¡¯t have to thank me.¡±

    Matcha remained indifferent to Airne¡¯s pleas and struggles as he looked towards the remaining cats and asked, ¡°Look. Airne is a smart cat and has decided to join my side. How about the rest of you?¡±

    As Matcha spoke, the cats have already detected an invisible force encapsting their bodies, rendering them incapable of moving.

    ¡°Calm down, do not worry. As a cat ... I am known for being a fair cat that never bears grudges. Even if you choose not to join my side and leave Jiangmen University¡¯s territory, I would never hold it against you.¡±

    Uncle Egg bawled his eyes out as he pleaded, ¡°I¡¯m not from Jiangmen University. I¡¯m from the neighboring district, Xiang Yang District.¡±

    ¡°There are no borders in this global cat vige that we live in. I am an extremely hospitable cat. Just treat this ce like your own home.¡±

    The remaining supercats instantly nodded their heads in agreement when they felt the invisible force crushing against their bodies.

    King George then sat his eyes on Zhao Xue as his eyes sparkled with excitement. He announced, ¡°This young kid over here is special, very special. Would you like to be my disciple and learn the art of superpower from me?¡±

    Zhao Xue replied with a look of shock stered on her face, ¡°Huh? I can actually learn the art of superpower?¡±

    ¡°Of course you can. I know of many superpowers and I can simply pass down a few to you. I¡¯m sure you would benefit immensely from it. I can see that you have a bright future ahead of you and you¡¯re destined for great stuff. You might even be the savior of this world.¡±

    Zhao Xue was excited over the cat¡¯s ims but was rather skeptical seeing all that he had done and said, ¡°Really? That would be great.¡±

    Finally, King George looked towards the cafeteriady, Aunty Wang, who was already on her knees with her palms sped together. She cried, ¡°King George, bless me. Please bless my son so that he can enter a reputable university and improve his skills on Mobile Legends.¡±

    King George simply replied, ¡°Lady would you like to join our side and be the protector our territory?¡±

    Aunty Wang immediately kowtowed to King George and eximed, ¡°Long live the magnanimous King George!¡±

    With a curl of his lips, Matcha responded, ¡°I¡¯ll just take it that you¡¯ve epted my offer then.¡±

    Next, everyone¡¯s vision was submerged in darkness as they lost consciousness after Zhao Yao sealed their five senses.

    Zhao Yao, Hanako, Matcha and Dust Ball remained standing in the dugout, with bodies of cats, Zhao Xue and Aunty Wang scattered all across the ground.

    Naturally, Hanako had no idea what happened within the illusion. In her eyes, the cats, Zhao Xue and Aunty Wang simply copsed to the floor all of a sudden.

    Matcha tapped his paw on Zhao Yao¡¯s feet and asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, will they really listen to my words?¡±

    ¡°Temporarily yes. However, they will definitely start rebelling if we continue to use suchme tricks to scam them. We need to find something to ensure their loyalty in the long run.¡± Zhao Yao then released his deflective field which morphed into a giant hand and scooped everyone off the floor.

    ¡°We have to bring them somewhere else first.¡± Zhao Yao dragged the hordes of cats to the entrance before finally reaching the school building¡¯s rooftop.

    Thankfully, it was extremelyte and no one noticed this group of cats which magically levitated from the forests onto the rooftop.

    Suddenly, the cats which were unconscious emitted a golden beam from their eyes. From the cat¡¯s perspective, their eyes were swarmed by this blinding golden light before opening their eyes and realizing that they had reached the school building¡¯s rooftop. They noticed an orange cat standing on his hind feet by the edge of the rooftop. His entire body radiated a majestic golden glow and had a beautiful halo at the back of his head. That cat could only be King George.

    King George looked towards them with his genial smile and said, ¡°Hi, everyone.¡±

    The mission waspleted and Zhao Yao had received 300*2 experience points.

    A smile crept up Zhao Yao¡¯s face when he saw his BOOK turning to book: lv4(1958/5000).

    ¡°At this rate, I can upgrade both Elizabeth and Matcha after receiving the experience points from my monthly mission.¡±

    For the next few days, Zhao Yao had brought along Hanako as they hid behind Matcha¡¯s back and helped him continue his pretense as King George, solidifying his rule over Jiangmen University.

    Boasting his human intellect and life experience, Zhao Yao easily won the hearts of the stray cats with his tricks. He won them over with lots of canned food, catmint, cat toys, and cat tidbits. He even sent the injured cats to a pet hospital. By using his power of illusion from time to time, he had temporarily secured his position as cat king.

    The next pressing issue was the problem of food. Hence, Zhao Yao instructed Aunty Wang to prepare meals for the stray cats, with the moneying from Zhao Yao. It was a far cry from the rubbish that they were used to.

    Luckily, the money used to buy the ingredients was not included in the cat caf¨¦¡¯s operating costs. Looking at Zhao Yao¡¯s bank ount, this money was totally negligible. Next, Zhao Yao began selecting the older cats amongst them for sterilization. This was to help him prevent the cats from non-stop reproduction to control their poption and relieve them from the sufferings of estrus.

    Without having to worry about their three meals, the stray cats naturally had more time to spare and would spend most of their time in the dugout. Zhao Yao had hence selected the dugout as the stray cats¡¯ official base.

    Without having to mend his caf¨¦, Zhao Yao was able toplete theborious task required to provide afortable environment for the stray cats. The extra cash in his hand definitely helped as well.

    Zhao Yao finally heaved a sigh of relief when he watched the stray cats running around the dugout, chasing each other with a smile on their faces. ¡°It¡¯s finally time to move on to my chain mission.¡±

    The simplest solution was to throw the two supercats into his extradimensional belly, but it would bring about many undesired effects.

    Zhao Yao had carefully considered the situation in it. He realized that the extradimensional belly was currently too small and too in. It was a torture for eight supercats to live in there. There were bound to be problems if he forced ten supercats into that confined space in the long run. Ares and gang would definitely cause trouble, stemming from their hatred towards Zhao Yao.

    Furthermore, this was only the first of his chain mission to establish the cat kingdom. There would only be more and more cats inside his belly.

    The concern remained on Zhao Yao¡¯s head as he ran around, taking care of business at Jiangmen University. Finally, he had some ideas to address the problem. He wouldbine the dugout with his extradimensional belly to establish a true cat base, or maybe even a hideout. It would truly be a Vige of Dreams. The dugout would helppensate the shorings of the extradimensional belly.

    The actual steps which he would take to realize this was dependent on the new skills his supercats received from upgrading. In the worst case scenario, he would solely rely on Elizabeth¡¯s illusion to address these problems.

    ¡°Tonight will be the night. I¡¯ll see what powers I get from upgrading Matcha and Elizabeth using the points from the monthly mission.¡±

 Chapter 222: Level Up!

    <h4>Chapter 222: Level Up!</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    At 11.59pm, Zhao Yao was already sitting on his couch with his eyes glued to his BOOK, eagerly anticipating the experience points from his monthly mission. Currently, his BOOK read:

    Book: Lv4 (2088/5000)

    Matcha: Lv4 (1090/2000)

    Elizabeth: Lv4 (330/2000)

    Dust Ball: Lv5 (220/5000)

    Ares: Lv4 (70/2000)

    The corner of his mouth curled up when the thought shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s head, ¡°With the 2X Exp Card, I should be able to upgrade both Matcha and Elizabeth with the experience points from the monthly mission.¡±

    Even though the points could be used to upgrade Ares instead, but Zhao Yao was already satisfied with the strength of the current deflective field. On the other hand, Zhao Yao required a strong illusion or some sort of time maniption ability in order to juggle hismitments between Jiangmen University, his cat caf¨¦ and the refurbishment of his extradimensional belly.

    The clock finally struck 12 which signified the end of the month and thepletion of his monthly mission. It was time to calcte the experience points earned.

    The green tick appeared next to his monthly mission, indicating itspletion. A paragraph of words appeared beneath the heading of monthly mission: After deducting the utility bills, the cost of cat food, cat tidbits and all other misceneous fees, the profit for the caf¨¦ was RMB 1,563,333, hence you had earned 300 experience points. Tap on the button to collect your reward and reset the monthly mission for the new month.

    ¡°Even though the caf¨¦ was only in operation for three weeks, I still managed to earn more money than the previous time, which means more experience points earned!¡±

    With a wide grin on his face, Zhao Yao tapped on the button and collected his 300X2 experience points. Instantly, the book turned to lv4(2688/5000).

    ¡°Haha, this is just nice for the two of them.¡± Immediately, Zhao Yao began allocating the experience points to his two cats. He pumped 910 and 1670 experience points to Matcha and Elizabeth respectively. Both the cats had been upgraded to level five, while the book was at lv4 (108/5000).

    Zhao Yao immediately tapped on Matcha¡¯s ability branches to find out the new powers awaiting him. The two abilities were:

    Time Multiplication: Double the duration of your abilities, increasing your time freeze to 12 seconds and its cooldown to 12 seconds as well.

    Multiplication Explosion: After using your power of time freeze, there is a probability that the power would be triggered again at the end of the 6 seconds. This would not affect the ability¡¯s cooldown time.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead furrowed slightly when he read the description of the two ability branches. Time Multiplication was easy to understand but Multiplication Explosion would make it even harder for him to control Matcha¡¯s ability. Firstly, Zhao Yao had no idea what the probability was. Secondly, the effects of the power might be activated at inappropriate times.

    The variables and uncertainties surrounding the power could only be fully understood if Zhao Yao chose this ability. However, for safety¡¯s sake, Zhao Yao tapped on Time Multiplication to increase Matcha¡¯s time freeze to 12 seconds.

    ¡°Wow, 12 seconds is amazing but it would not be very useful for my uing missions.¡± Disappointment sagged through him as Zhao Yao flipped the BOOK to Elizabeth¡¯s page to find out what was in store for him. The two ability branches were:

    Split: You can control your target from afar for three hours. This is as good as having your consciousness imnted into another person.

    Seal: Seal a fixed illusion on an object and the effects of the illusion would continue over the next 3 days. You can cast this power on at most three targets.

    Elizabeth¡¯s power could always be ssified into control and illusion. Zhao Yao had always pumped the points to enhance Elizabeth¡¯s power of illusion.

    ¡°The ability to control an individual is a very straightforward power that cannot be enhanced significantly. I can always use the power of illusion to supplement the control.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes burned with excitement as he tapped on the power, Seal, and thought, ¡°This is great! If the effects of this power are like what I imagined, I would be able to release Ares and his gang.¡±

    After tapping on the button, Zhao Yao ran to the kitchen and took out a cup. He then attempted casting an illusion and sealing it within the cup.

    After more than half an hour of experimenting, Zhao Yao was already beaming from ear to ear.

    The effects of the power far exceeded his expectations. Any kind of illusion could be perfectly sealed within the object. The illusion would then repeat for the next 72 hours. It was as good as having another Zhao Yao casting an unchanging illusion.

    ¡°Good! Good! With this, I¡¯ll be able to connect the extradimensional belly with the dugout. I can also consider releasing Ares and gang. I will not have to worry about Cat Kingdom¡¯s future anymore!¡±

    With this thought at the back of his head, Zhao Yao immediately retrieved three items from his cab.

    ¡°With three items, I can use one for the dugout, one for the cat caf¨¦ and one more for Ares. This can be used for battle and can even be used to control the supercats. I only have to cast a new illusion on it after the three days expire.¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately put his words into action as he began casting an illusion on the three cors.

    With one cor in his hand, Zhao Yao¡¯s brain started producing an borate illusion before sealing them into the cor.

    Even though the sealing effects worked perfectly, the toil it took on Zhao Yao¡¯s brain was immense. Zhao Yao¡¯s entire body was beaded with sweat after just ten minutes.

    ¡°D*mn it. The illusion which I can seal within the cor canst for up to three days. This is as good as creating a 72 hours illusion within less than an hour.¡± Zhao Yao nced at the other two cors resting on the table and thought, ¡°I guess I can only work on one cor today. I¡¯ll just start with the dugout.¡±

    Instantly, he picked up that cor and resumed the process.

    The sealing process was finallypleted after half an hour. Zhao Yao was so tired that he had difficulty keeping his eyes opened. He copsed onto his bed and fell asleep instantly.

    Zhao Yao suffered from a slight headache when he woke up the second morning. However, a smile crept up his face when he took a nce at the cor lying on the table.

    ¡°With this cor, I can cast a permanent illusion within the dugout. I¡¯ll be able to release Ares in there. However, this is not enough. My mission required me to establish a cat nation within the extradimensional belly. Hence, I need to create some sort of bridge to connect them.¡±

    The bridge would be none other than Dust Ball. By positioning Dust Ball inside the dugout, her mouth would act as the channel connecting the dugout to the extradimensional belly. Cats could then roam freely between them.

    There were two benefits to this solution. Firstly, cats from the extradimensional belly could enter the dugout base whenever they wanted, establishing a connection between them. In turn, this would greatly increase the size of the cat nation¡¯s territory. If not, the current extradimensional belly was barely more than one hundred square meters and could never amodate more than 10 supercats.

    Secondly, this would allow Zhao Yao to enter the dugout instantly by using the extradimensional belly as the bridge. The dugout would be the perfect base.

    This base was shrouded in the illusion sealed within the cor. With more and more supercatsing here in the future, this ce would provide much-needed security.

    On the other hand, the supercats inside the dugout could crawl out of Zhao Yao¡¯s mouth by using Dust Ball¡¯s extradimensional belly as the bridge. This meant that Zhao Yao would have a supercat army waiting as reinforcement 24/7.

    ¡°With the illusion sealed within the cor and the size of the dugout, I would not have to worry about the supercats causing a ruckus or getting into trouble. I also don¡¯t have to worry about them not having enough space to y. By installing more facilities and amenities within it, this ce would be a perfect supercat haven.¡±

    ¡°However, the roots of cat nation still trace back to the extradimensional belly. I can onlyplete my mission by increasing the poption of supercats within the belly. Hence, I have to strengthen the connection between the dugout and the belly and also enhance their sense of belonging to the belly.¡±

    Zhao Yao had to find a solution that allowed the supercats to spend the majority of their time within the belly instead of the dugout to ensure thepletion of his chain mission.

    Zhao Yao already had a n to turn the extradimensional belly into a home that the supercats would never want to leave.

    <h4>Chapter 223: Mission or Game?</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Supercats had existed for more than half a year. Since Matcha¡¯s transformation, Zhao Yao had been observing supercat¡¯s behavior for quite some time.

    These intelligent lives, which recently appeared on the surface of Earth, were extremely curious about the history of human civilization.

    In Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes, he believed that the rules and mechanisms governing thisplex human civilization were something that supercats craved to understand since they had only just acquired human-like intelligence.

    Hence, Zhao Yao understood that it was impossible to control them by simply resorting to violence. This was especially true for Zhao Yao since he intended to wee more and more supercats into his cat nation. He needed these supercats to fall in love with the ce and spend their time here willingly.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s goal was to leverage the experiences and lessons learned throughout history and incorporate them into this ce. He wanted to create a utopia within the extradimensional belly where supercats could enjoy with their friends the fruits ofbor from our longstanding civilization, without humans¡¯ watchful eyes. This was to be a true yground for cats ¨C Vige of Dreams.

    ¡°There would be more than enough space bybining the extradimensional belly with the dugout. However, I have to encapste this ce with an illusion and equip it with sufficient facilities. The illusion would prevent humans from entering and only allowed supercats to enter. Next, I have to use my power to maintain order in this ce. I can start by using my money to improve their living conditions. This will be a secret utopia for supercats.¡±

    ¡°Oh yes, I think the renovation works for my caf¨¦ should be almost done by today.¡± Zhao Yao gave a call to Shi Yu and instructed her to inspect the ongoing renovation works. Then, he waved to Baiquan and told him to report to the caf¨¦ on his own.

    He switched on hisptop and nced at the contents of his wallpaper. His mouth curved into a smile as he whispered, ¡°Hmm ... Let¡¯s start with this.¡± With that, he held theptop in his hand and carried a portable electric generator into the belly.

    ...

    Currently, eight cat heads huddled towards a tiny phone screen. All their eyes were glued to it which was currently ying Downtown Abbey.

    Female cats such as Diana and Catherine were especially attracted to the drama¡¯s plot. They did not even dare to blink their eyes as they did not want to miss a single moment of it.

    On the other hand, the male cats grew increasingly restless as they continued watching the show. The Garfield, Gaia, scratched his swollen head and grumbled, ¡°Boss, when can we finally watch Naruto?¡±

    ¡°Wait until I manage to f*ck Catherine, ... No ...¡± Ares immediately changed his words and said, ¡°Wait until we finish watching Downtown Abbey.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± The Siamese cat, F¨±jin, instantly turned his head around. Ares¡¯s words felt like a knife to his heart. F¨±jin tugged at Ares¡¯s tail and pleaded, ¡°But I really want to watch Naruto.¡±

    Ares simply retorted, ¡°Naruto, Naruto. What¡¯s the most important lesson in Naruto? Patience! Can¡¯t you just wait for a while more?¡±

    ¡°But I don¡¯t think I can wait any longer.¡± The Garfield continued scratching the back of his head before he started stumbling across the ce. He whispered, ¡°Why do I feel that my head is getting even more swollen? Why is everything spinning in this ce?¡±

    ¡°Hallucination.¡± Ares interrupted Gaia¡¯s words and instructed him,¡± ¡°You have been staring at the phone screen for too long. You just need a good night¡¯s rest.¡±

    Gaia stretched his back and replied, ¡°But the headache just worsens the moment Iy on the floor. Rakshasa, can youe over and help me take a look? Is the back of my head really swollen?¡±

    The American Shorthair nced at Gaia¡¯s head and noticed the bruise that had swelled to the size of a bun. However, he remained expressionless as he shook his head and replied, ¡°It¡¯s not swollen. From the looks of it, you¡¯re perfectly fine.¡±

    Suddenly, the male ragdoll, Caesar, craned his neck forward and took a look at Gaia¡¯s condition. He could not believe what Rakshasa had just said and eximed, ¡°How is that not swollen ...¡±

    Before Caesar couldplete his statement, Ares had already interrupted him by saying, ¡°This is not swollen. He¡¯s just fat and has puffy fur.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Caesar started scratching his own head and said, ¡°Speaking of a headache, I have also been suffering from a slight headache for quite some time. Also, it feels as if I¡¯ve forgotten about something.¡±

    Ares replied, ¡°Your body is still not ustomed to the atmosphere in the Vige of Dreams which exins your headache.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, Caesar. You should really spend some time training your body. Even Diana and I are fine. All you do isin about your throbbing headache.¡± Catherine threw a condescending look at Caesar before continuing, ¡°We still have to thank Ares for taking care of us when you were unconscious.¡±

    Tears welled up in Caesar¡¯s eyes as he dashed forward to Ares and said, ¡°Mr. Ares, thank you so much for taking care of my wife and daughter while I was unconscious. You will be my friend from today onwards.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t think we are just friends.¡± Ares raised his paw and started pping him on his back. With his eyes fixed on Catherine, Ares muttered, ¡°We are brothers.¡±

    While the two female cats were engrossed in the film, a beam of holy light poured down from the sky as aptop slowly descended from the heavens. Theptopnded right in front of the group of male cats.

    At the same time, Zhao Yao¡¯s voice rang in their heads.

    ¡°Everyone, it is time for the new mission.¡±

    ¡°If you manage toplete this mission, you will stand a chance to enter the outside world.¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°We can finally leave this ce?¡±

    All the supercats¡¯ eyes sparkled with excitement when they heard the news of possibly leaving this ce. Their eyes were glued to the holy light, theptop and portable generator lying on the ground. This generator was something Zhao Yao had specially prepared for the extradimensional belly. It could provide up to 400W of electricity and was ideal for a ce like the extradimensional belly with no source of energy.

    A smile crept up Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he took a look at theptop and announced, ¡°This mission is very simple. I need you to get past the first stage of this game within a day.¡±

    As Zhao Yao¡¯s voice continued to echo in their heads, the supercats had already tilted their heads towards the screen in unison. Suddenly, a word started to appear, letter by letter.

    Ares read out, ¡°Diablo 2? What¡¯s the meaning of this word?¡±

    The game that Zhao Yao wanted the cats to y was Diablo 2. The best way to lure these cats, which had only just received human-like intelligence, was to use aputer game.

    This was the idea Zhao Yao had developed after seeing how addicted Matcha and Rice Cake grew after watching him y Mobile Legends and yerUnknown¡¯s Battlegrounds.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to turn the extradimensional belly into the best cat inte caf¨¦. I will equip this ce with the best facilities and turn it into a cat heaven.¡±

    The reason why he chose this game was that it did not require inte for them to y. Also, the long story mode would attract the cats¡¯ attention for a long time. The cats could even y together by using the Local Area Network.

    At the same time, Ares, the leader amongst them had stepped forward to take on this challenge. With the mouse in his paw, he started ying his firstputer game.

    ¡°Create your character?¡± Suddenly, seven characters appeared amidst the piles of fire, burning in the background. All the cats stared intently at theputer screen.

    Ares randomly clicked on one of the characters and a muscr bloke with tattoos all over his body emerged from the shadows. He even had an ax in his hand.

    ¡°This guy is so muscr!¡± Excitement shot out of Ares¡¯s eyes as he clicked on another character and a female wizard emerged from the shadows. Her magic staff was even illuminated with a captivating glow. Ares mumbled, ¡°This woman seems stronger than that guy.¡±

    Hence, Ares decided to go with the female wizard. After watching the introductory video, they had finally arrived at their first stop, Rogue Encampment.

    Two hourster, Ares rapidly tapped against the mouse and shouted, ¡°Press the skill! Press the skill!¡±

    F¨±jin had both paws pressing against the keyboard as he retorted, ¡°You didn¡¯t even specify the skill? How am I supposed to know which to press?¡±

    Suddenly, a zombie appeared on the screen as it slowly made its way towards them. Ares¡¯s chest tightened with fear as he shouted, ¡°Use the fireball! The fireball!¡±

    Bam!

    The zombie copsed under the intense mes of the fireball. Its body exploded and gave out a few coins and potions. Ares could not help but started beaming from to ear. He had no idea why but he felt an inexplicable satisfaction whenever he saw the zombie falling to the ground. It was even better than sniffing on catmint.

    ¡°The zombies are back!¡± F¨±jin eximed, ¡°Quick! Aim at them!¡±

    Ares, which was responsible for the mouse, slid it across the floor and had a perfect aim on the zombie¡¯s forehead. Immediately, a few fireballs were shot out and burnt the zombie to crisp.

    ¡°Hey, it¡¯s some equipment! Pick it up and take a look!¡±

    Ares immediately moved his mouse as their character stood over the armor. Suddenly, they started jumping up and down the ce as they were overwhelmed with excitement, ¡°Golden armor! It¡¯s a golden armor!¡±

 Chapter 224: The Beautiful Illusion

    <h4>Chapter 224: The Beautiful Illusion</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Six pairs of cat eyes were glued to theputer screen. The more exciting the gamey, the harder they swung their tails.

    In the blink of an eye, Ares and the 5 other supercats had been busy battling for more than 18 hours straight. Sparks of excitement continued shooting out of their bloodshot eyes. Despite their physical exhaustion, they remained brimming with determination and perseverance toplete their mission

    ¡°It¡¯sing! It¡¯s time for us to fight Andariel!¡± Gaia raked his fingers through his fur and could not believe how far they had progressed.

    The male ragdoll, Caesar, offered a word of caution, ¡°Be careful. Let¡¯s use a town portal scroll first.¡±

    On the screen was a fully equipped female mage wandering about the dimly lit monastery. The character was surrounded by a sea of shadows that could turn into monsters at any moment. Other than that, blood trails, dead bodies, and skeleton also littered the monastery grounds. This sight alone sent shivers down the cats¡¯ spine.

    After 18 hours of non-stop fighting, Ares and gang had finally reached the first boss in Diablo 2.

    Catherine and Diana werepletely indifferent to Diablo 2¡¯s gamey. They grew sick of it from just watching the guys y for less than half an hour. In their eyes, Diablo 2 could not hold a candle to the thought-proving plot of Downtown Abbey.

    Amongst the six cats, only Ares and F¨±jin had the privilege to enjoy the full gaming experience. The other 4 cats could only huddle around the screen and watched with envy.

    Actually, Zhao Yao was also hiding in the dark, observing their behavior from afar.

    ¡°Hmph, I guess it¡¯s natural for them to fall in love with theseputer games after achieving human-like intelligence. They would never be able to resist the temptation from a ssic like Diablo 2.¡±

    Memories of his time ying Diablo 2 flooded Zhao Yao¡¯s mind as he watched the cats yed the game. He could not help but reminisce the good old times when he observed the cat destroying the monsters, collecting the equipment and preparing for the ultimate fight against the boss.

    During its heydays, Diablo 2 had throngs of fans flooding to it the moment they had their free time. The inexplicable exhration you derived from killing a monster or from picking up an armor left the gamers hungry for more, feeding their desire and addiction for the game. It seemed like the six cats standing in front of him had also fallen for it.

    ¡°However ...¡± Zhao Yao corked his head and observed Catherine and Diana dying from boredom. He thought, ¡°Maybe I need another kind ofputer game to attract the female cat¡¯s attention.¡± Naturally, Zhao Yao realized that supercats had plenty of opportunities to yputer games in other ces. However, he already had a n to address this problem ...

    Following an ear-splitting scream, the boss for the first stage, Andariel, finally copsed to the ground. Dozens of shiny treasures were scattered all over his dead body. Ares excitedly clicked on the mouse to collect them all.

    ¡°Meowhahaha, there are so many golden armors!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s pick them up and see what we got!¡±

    ¡°Yay! Leveled up! We can add some points to our abilities!¡±

    At this moment, the holy light descended from the heavens and cast its holy glow on theptop. Immediately, Ares and F¨±jin had lost control over theptop.

    ¡°Excellent. You havepleted your mission. As promised, I will arrange for your departure from this world in an hour¡¯s time. This would allow ...¡±

    ¡°Who wants to leave this ce?¡± Ares roared with anger shooting out of his bloodshot eyes. He eximed, ¡°Return us theptop. We only just defeated the boss and have not even picked up the weapon and armor he left behind!¡±

    Ares continued, ¡°We can talk about leaving this ce some other time! Just return us theptop now!¡±

    Likewise, Gaia copsed to the floor and began kowtowing to Zhao Yao. Gaia pleaded, ¡°God, please give us a few moreptops!¡±

    With the curl of his lips, Zhao Yao acquiesced to their requests. Nineptops and nine portable generators began to slowly descend from the sky with a mysterious glow emanating from them. These were the items Zhao Yao bought online while he was busy settling the stray cats¡¯ home. Zhao Yao bought them to create his perfect supercat haven.

    Excitement poured out of their eyes as they watched the nineptops slowly descend from the sky. They instantly switched on their individualptops and waited excitedly for Diablo 2 to load up.

    Ares and F¨±jin which had shared the originalptop nced at each other with a creepy smile.

    Ares sauntered to theptop in front of him and remarked, ¡°F¨±jin, everyone now has aptop to themselves. You no longer have to share with me and can finally y on your own.¡±

    F¨±jin pranced forward and pressed his paw against the cover of their originalptop and sniggered, ¡°Boss, let me use this oldptop. You should be using the brand new one instead.¡±

    Ares sensed something fishy and squinted his eyes into a line before asking, ¡°F¨±jin, are you trying to take this wizard ount from me and im it as your own?¡±

    F¨±jin instantly lowered his head in shame with his ears pressed against his face. He did not dare to defy his leader which he had served for such a long time. However, he began quivering with indignance when memories of that character swarmed into his head. He retorted, ¡°Boss, I have put in my heart and soul into this ount as well. I can¡¯t just let you take it away from me!¡±

    Momentster, F¨±jin was seen using the brand newptop with his head covered in bruises. A thought sprang into his head, ¡°Hmph, he could have just told me politely. Why does he always have to resort to violence? I¡¯ll just give you this ount but I¡¯ll create and train an even stronger character!¡± With this thought lingering in his head, he had already gotten to his battle position: his hind legs resting on the mouse pad and front paws handling the keyboard.

    Zhao Yao burst intoughter and shook his head at this ridiculous scene. He secretly crept behind Ares and attached a cor to his neck.

    He wasn¡¯t just blindly watching the supercats y for the past 18 hours. Actually, he had been casting and sealing an illusion into a cor ¨C the one Ares was currently wearing.,

    The illusion sealed within it was very simple and straightforward. There were only two effects. Firstly, neither cats nor humans could detect the existence of the cor. Secondly, it would make Ares forget about the existence of his right hind leg.

    Hence, when Ares cast his deflective field and tried to encapste his entire body within it, he would always forget about his right hind leg. This provided an opening for Zhao Yao¡¯s illusion to prate even when Ares had used his power.

    After settling all the issues within the extradimensional belly, Zhao Yao finally left the ce with a satisfied smile stered on his face.

    Next, he cast an illusion on Matcha, Dust Ball and himself as they made their way towards the dugout. Once they were there, Zhao Yao carefully attached the cor to Dust Ball¡¯s neck.

    Zhao Yao instructed Dust Ball, ¡°Dust Ball, focus your thoughts into this cor and unleash the power to its full potential.¡± Zhao Yao had given this much consideration before he decided to hand control over to Dust Ball. After all, Matcha had the tendency to get a little yful from time to time, leaving Dust Ball as the best option.

    Another factor which Zhao Yao had considered was to preserve the mysterious aura shrouding Matcha¡¯s existence. This aura could be intensified by lessening the number of times Matcha visited the dugout.

    It was a herculean task for Zhao Yao to create a mysterious and powerful image for Matcha. He did not want his efforts to go to waste if they found out Matcha¡¯s true nature from their daily encounters.

    Dust Ball grew rather curious towards the cor and took a few sniffs at it. As the obedient cat, sheplied with Zhao Yao¡¯s instructions and imnted her consciousness into it.

    Immediately, the illusion within the cor was activated and an invisible sound wave swept across the dugout. With the dugout as the epicenter, a sphere of radius 100 meters was encapsted within the illusion.

    ¡°The area that has been encapsted within the illusion would be our base¡¯s core position.¡±

    Under the effects of the illusion, the appearance of the area surrounding the dugout had changed considerably. Whenever any cats or humans came near to the dugout, all they would see wasyers uponyers of rocks and gravels. Even if they reached their hands out to touch it, they would only feel the jagged edges of the solid rocks and would never detect the presence of the dugout.

    If the intruder decided to ignore his sense of sight and touch and continued down the path, he would enter the region that was engulfed by the illusion which would rob him of his five senses.

    Thisyer of defense was enough to deter more than 99% of all intruders. It would also hide its existence from the eyes of all passersby.

    If any supercats wished to leave this core location, they would have to seek Dust Ball¡¯s permission before she could deactivate the illusion and allowed them to leave.

    Currently, Zhao Yao had no ns of allowing supercats and humans from the outside world toe into contact with the cat nation that he had established. Or maybe it had to wait until Zhao Yao grew stronger.

    The finalyer of defense was a beautiful ce. It was a scenic forest apanied by blue skies and a magnificent waterfall which looked like a scene taken directly from an art masterpiece.

    Zhao Yao had even incorporated the theme of day and night within it, changing the scenery every 12 hours.

    Other than that, the person trapped in the illusion could even see clusters of snow mountains and a borderless sea in the far horizons. However, they would never make it there as the illusion prevented them from doing so.

    All in all, the area of illusion could be divided into three sectors: the outer rock area, the area where they are robbed of their 5 senses and the scenic central area. It was the most convoluted illusion Zhao Yao had ever created. Hence, he instantly fell asleep the moment he sealed the illusion within the cor.

    Matcha and Dust Ball stared dumbfoundedly at the magnificent scene staring right at them. The beautiful mountain ranges and the spectacr surroundings left them in awe.

    With a gleeful smile on his face, Zhao Yao exined, ¡°Ordinary cats can only y outside the sphere of illusion. Only supercats could enter this ce.¡±

    Meanwhile, Aunty Wang had been tasked to take care of the ordinary cats roaming along the boundary of the hideout, further adding ayer of defense.

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao continued exining when he noticed Dust Ball¡¯s puzzled expression, ¡°Areas outside the dugout is free from the illusion¡¯s influence. It is a ce I have specially reserved for the ordinary stray cats. The area within the illusion is put aside for you, supercats. It is a utopia that I have specially created for all of you.

    From today onwards, you will be deployed inside the dugout. You will be the bridge connecting the extradimensional belly with this ce. The cor in your hands would control the illusion encapsting this entire area.

    Of course, you can just leave the cor here if there¡¯s something that you have to attend to outside this dugout. The illusion would continue until the 72 hour expires.¡±

    ¡°But there is still one more thing ...¡± Zhao Yao stared earnestly into Dust Ball¡¯s eyes and asked, ¡°Are you willing to stay here? If you aren¡¯t, I will not force it upon you.¡±

    ¡°Are you kidding me? Of course, I¡¯m willing toe here.¡± Dust Ball shut her eyes to fully immerse her body in this amazing ce. She eximed, ¡°This ce is so much more interesting than your apartment.¡±

    Zhao Yao was left speechless by Dust Ball¡¯s words. Initially, he had considered leaving the cor here ande down every day to open up the conduit connecting these two ces. However, it would be far more inconvenient than having Dust Ball here permanently. Things could not have turned out better since Dust Ball volunteered to stay here.

    Dust Ball could somehow detect the power stored within the cor resting on her neck and mumbled, ¡± Is this the power of Elizabeth¡¯s illusion? It¡¯s so cool.¡±

    Even though Dust Ball¡¯s control over the power was simply limited to turning it on and off, she was still able to detect the magnitude and strength of it. With the cor, she could picture the entirendscape in her head and it was more vivid than anything she had ever seen.

    However, she started scratching the cor once the novelty wore off. She grew slightly impatient andined, ¡°Why did you seal it inside the cor? I don¡¯t want to wear a cor.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, this is to make it easier for you to carry it around. Don¡¯t you find it extremely cool?¡±

    ¡°Only dogs wear a cor. How can a brilliant species like us stoop to the level of a dog?¡± Dust Ball¡¯s forehead pucked together as she suggested, ¡°How about I stash it somewhere within the dugout. I can go over and control it if need be. Also, the illusion would not disappear even if I enter the extradimensional belly.¡±

    Zhao Yao pinched the bridge of his nose and replied, ¡°Alright then.¡±

    Hence, Zhao Yao carefully hid it underneath an ordinary-looking brick. Dust Ball could control the illusion by simply going towards the cor and imnting her consciousness into it.

    Throughout the entire process, Matcha sat on the ground and folded his arms across his chest. Jealousy swept through him as he witnessed Dust Ball receiving this new power. He would instantly flick his head to another direction whenever Zhao Yao made eye contact with him.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter Matcha? Are you interested in maintaining your position as the leader of this ce? Do you know how much responsibility this entails?¡±

    With a curl of his lip, Matcha responded, ¡°Who wants to be the leader here? There¡¯s nothing for me to do since Dust Ball is here to manage things.¡±

    A thought shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s mind, ¡°Jealousy? I didn¡¯t expect this kid to be so petty.¡± Despite how much Matcha struggled, Zhao Yao continued scooping him off the floor and into his arms. Zhao Yao said, ¡°Matcha, you are still the big boss here. You are their cat king, King George!¡±

    Matcha repeatedly used his snow-white paws to p against Zhao Yao chest. He mumbled, ¡°It¡¯s only a matter of time before the cats expose my identity since the illusion isn¡¯t even in my hands.¡±

    Zhao Yao then began cuddling and ying with Matcha. With a finger underneath his chin, Zhao Yao started giving Matcha a soothing massage. Even though Matcha acted as if he was indifferent to Zhao Yao¡¯s action, he still inched his chin towards Zhao Yao¡¯s finger, craving for more.

    ¡°Stop touching me, go and touch Dust Ball instead.¡±

    Zhao Yao burst outughing as he started massaging the back of his tiny head and ears. Matcha enjoyed it so much that he shut his eyes. However, he still said, ¡°Since I¡¯m so useless and cannot even do anything here.¡±

    Zhao Yao then started poking against his white belly and remarked, ¡°But you have a special effect.¡±

    ¡°Special effect? What special effect?¡± Matcha instantly opened his eyes and stared curiously at Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao picked up the cor resting underneath the brick and sealed a new illusion within it before activating it.

    After Zhao Yao¡¯s modification, a golden halo glowed brilliantly behind Matcha¡¯s head.

    Matcha noticed the halo above his head and beamed from ear to ear. He eximed, ¡°Meowhaha, look at my halo!¡±

    Zhao Yao exined, ¡°King George, whenever youe over here and grace the cats with your presence, they would be in awe of your amazing halo. Is that enough?¡±

    ¡°Definitely, definitely.¡± Matcha instantly leaped out of Zhao Yao¡¯s arms and started prancing around the dugout with his new halo. Suddenly, he returned to Zhao Yao and jumped onto his calf, ¡°Can you also give me a pair of wings?¡±

    Zhao Yao picked him up by the back of his neck and retorted, ¡°You are getting too greedy.¡±

    After setting up the dugout, Zhao Yao gathered all the supercats staying within it.

    By using his deflective field, Zhao Yao brought Lion Head, Baozi, Airne, Sausage and Uncle Egg through theyers of defense and into the central area. In their heads, their visions suddenly turned dark before they opened their eyes to this amazing ce.

    They could not believe their eyes as all they saw was a breath-taking sceneryprising of mountain ranges and water bodies.

    Lion Head raised her head and even noticed the sun, shining brilliantly atop the mountain peaks.

    The orange Persian cat, Airne, pressed his paws against the grass and felt the tingling sensation as the grass brushed across his paws.

    Baozi bolted towards the pond at the side and reached his paws into the water.

    A look of amazement crossed his face as Baozi eximed, ¡°What happened?¡±

    Excitement seized Uncle Egg as he started swinging his tail around non-stop. He asked, ¡°Where are we?¡±

    Airne opened his eyes wide as he tried to take in this stunning ce. With a look of confusion, he asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t this the dugout?¡±

    The next moment, a shadow appeared from within the forest and instantly captured the attention of all five supercats.

    As the figure walked towards them, they noticed the brilliant halo floating above his head. They finally realized it was Matcha prancing proudly towards them.

    With the genial smile on his face, Matcha dered, ¡°This is still the dugout. However, I¡¯ve used my power to improve the living conditions here.¡±

    Matcha cocked his head towards the maroon Dragon Li, Baozi, andmented, ¡°Even though everything here seems real and authentic, they would not be able to quench your thirst nor satiate your hunger.¡±

    Baozi immediately retracted his paw and looked in Matcha¡¯s direction.

    Against this amazing backdrop, Matcha had turned stronger and more mysterious than ever in their eyes. They had never thought that it was possible to create such a realistic Nirvana from a forsaken dugout.

    The supercats spoke in unison when they noticed Matcha with his golden halo approaching them, ¡°King Geroge, what is your reason for sending us here today?¡±

    The halo above his head continued to rotate and radiated a warm glow. The five cats did not even dare to stare directly into it.

    The halo had made Matcha seem so powerful and formidable.

    Matcha cleared his throat and announced, ¡°The outside world is too dangerous. Humans have always been a threat to our survival. Hence, I decided to build this beautiful ce as a haven for us, supercats. From today onwards, you will be living here.¡±

    ¡°Is he trying to lock us up here?¡± Lion Head thought as a frown appeared on her face.

    Airne throbbed with anger and thought, ¡°Bastard, is this guy trying to keep me here as a pet? No, I must find a way to escape.¡±

    The three remaining supercats shared simr thoughts. After spending their entire life roaming the streets as stray cats, it would take some time for them to ept this kind of lifestyle which domestic cats were ustomed to.

    Somehow, Zhao Yao had already predicted this response from them. Under his instructions, Matcha continued, ¡°Of course, I am not forcing you to stay here. You can spend the next one month here. If you like it, you can stay for as long as you want. If not, you are free to leave as well.¡±

    Airne¡¯s eyes sparked with excitement and went on his feet and eximed, ¡°Are you serious?¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡± Matcha announced with his gleeful smile, ¡°I, King George, am a cat of his word. When have I ever lied to you.¡±

    All five cats turned their heads towards one another and understood what they were all thinking, ¡°Hmph, we just have to endure for one month. Once the time is up, we will be gone!¡±

    Matcha took this time to introduce Dust Ball who stood beside him. He dered, ¡°This is my brother, Dark Knight. During my period of absence, he will be in charge of this ce. Oh, to standardize some terminologies, I¡¯ll be naming this ce the Vige of Dreams.

    The ce which you originally inhabited with the ordinary cats would be known as the outskirts of the Vige of Dreams. You are currently in the central location of Vige of Dreams. My brother, Dark Knight, holds the key to the Heart of the Vige of Dreams.¡±

    ¡°Heart of the Vige of Dreams?¡± Lion Head was bewildered by Matcha¡¯s words.

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m sure you will enjoy your time there.¡±

    Lion Head and the other supercats were unconcerned with Matcha¡¯s ims. In their heads, they were justing up with ways to speed up the impending time here.

    As usual, Zhao Yao was hiding in a corner and observing the situation. Naturally, he detected the nonchnce the cats felt towards Matcha¡¯s words.

    However, he had a trump card in his hand ¨C Diablo 2.

    This game was the ssic of its generation, the forefather of many games toe. It was the pioneer who invented the notions of ability upgrades, hp, mp, and an entire assortment of potions and weapons. It had provided the perfect blueprint for new LAN games to emte. The exhration of killing monsters filled up the void in that generation¡¯s games.

    It¡¯s not far-fetched to im that Diablo 2 had revolutionized the world ofputer gaming.

    Zhao Yao fondly remembered the uproar it created when it firstnded in stores. Thousands of teenagers stormed to inte caf¨¦s for a taste of the game. At that time, not every household had aputer. They spent hundreds of hours perfecting their skill and immersing themselves in this fantasy world.

    Many yers never grew bored of the game. Some of them had spent 10 and even 20 years absorbed in the gamey, with its numerous modifications.

    Diablo 2 had the fourth best sales record amongst allputer games for the year that it was produced. Even though countless pundits decried Diablo 3 for not continuing the spirit and essence of the franchise, it still managed to sell more than 30 million copies. It was among the top 10 most soldputer games for that year, entrenching its position as one of the most poprputer games.

    To gamers who had spent many years ying the game, they would still consider Diablo 2 as one of the best, let alone a supercat which had never yed a single game.

    Even if Diablo 2 failed to entice them into the world of gaming, there were millions of games waiting to satisfy the supercats.

    Zhao Yao also had other ns up his sleeve ifputer games failed to attract them.

    Matcha continued introducing Dust Ball to them by eximing, ¡°Dark Knight, open your mouth.¡±

    Dust Ball shot a furious re at Matcha and only opened her mouth after Zhao Yao pacified her. Dust Ball revealed the alternate space-time dimension inside her mouth.

    Zhao Yao pointed to Dust Ball¡¯s mouth and exined, ¡°This is the entrance to the Heart of the Vige of Dreams. You can enter through Dust Ball¡¯s mouth.¡±

    The supercats broke into chatters and could not believe that a cat¡¯s mouth was actually the door to this ce called the Heart of the Vige of Dreams.

    Meanwhile, the supercats inside the belly which were either ying Diablo 2 or watching Downtown Abbey noticed the heavenly glow which descended from the skies. Zhao Yao who had disguised himself as Matcha slowly descended to their world.

    All the supercats grew somewhat flustered when they noticed this cat¡¯s abrupt arrival and the golden halo hanging above his head.

    Only Gaia remained immersed in the world of Diablo 2, totally oblivious to the situation. He mmed his paws against the keyboard and roared, ¡°Meowhaha, it¡¯s another golden armor. I¡¯m really too lucky! Boss, Boss, tell me which is the better glove between the two.¡±

    ¡°Tsk.¡± Ares shot a look of disdain at Gaia and was on the verge of asking him to stop. However, they were interrupted by a coughing sound.

    ¡°I¡¯ve told you that I¡¯ll be sending all of you out in an hour¡¯s time. Now is the time for your departure ...¡±

    ¡°You are God?¡± Ares¡¯s eyes were glued to this cat with a golden halo shining above him. Ares pressed his lips together and could not believe his eyes.

    Catherine and Diana, which were in the far corner of the belly, nced at each other. Simrly, they had difficulty believing Zhao Yao¡¯s words.

    They had heard many things about the extradimensional belly from Ares. However, the most integral figure in this ce would be God.

    During their time here, they had witnessed the power and miracles that he could perform. The God was truly omnipotent and omniscient.

    They had never expected God to appear right in front of their eyes.

    ¡°It¡¯s actually just an ordinary orange cat?¡± Catherine¡¯s right eyebrow shot up as she whispered into Diana¡¯s ears, ¡°I thought the God would be a ragdoll.¡±

    Diana whispered in reply, ¡°Me too. I never expected God to be such ame looking cat.¡±

    Meanwhile, the silence was shattered by the male ragdoll¡¯s, Caesar, voice, ¡°Wait a minute, can I bring myptop along? My Diablo 2 ount is still inside it and I¡¯ve already gotten so far.¡±

    Naturally, Zhao Yao shook his head and exined, ¡°No. Allptops and phones must be kept within the Heart of the Vige of Dreams. If you want to use yourptop or phone, you must be inside this ce.¡±

    Disappointment clouded his features as Caesar replied, ¡°How can you do this to me?¡±

    Gaia started jumping up and down and asked, ¡°Can we return to this ce after leaving?¡±

    ¡°Of course, you cane back whenever you want. You just have to shout your intention and I¡¯ll be able to send you out of this ce. As for returning, you will have to inform the cat standing guard outside to allow you to return.¡±

    Ares did not know why but he heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that it was possible to return to the belly.

    The Garfield, Gaia, started crying andining, ¡°But I don¡¯t want to leave this ce! I just want to stay here!¡±

    Zhao Yao mustered his most solemn voice and replied, ¡°You have already spent the past 24 hours ying the game. It¡¯s bad for you to stare at your screen for such a long time. It¡¯s time for you to go out there and get some fresh air into your body.¡±

    Gaia interrupted Zhao Yao and retorted, ¡°But I¡¯m still so energetic, just look at my face! I really don¡¯t need to leave this ce!¡± Gaia stretched open his eyes to the best of his ability.

    ¡°No.¡± Zhao Yao instantly rejected Gaia¡¯s suggestion. He continued, ¡°You have spent too much time ying. Go out and have a good rest. You can y after enjoying a good night¡¯s sleep.¡±

    Zhao Yao turned a deaf ear to the cats incessantining and took his leave. He also instructed Dust Ball to expel them out of her stomach.

    Lion Head and the five supercats noticed Dust Ball opening her mouth and streams of ck lines poured out of her mouth before materializing into eight cats.

    Matcha¡¯s eyes instantly gravitated towards two particr cats when they arrived. His eyes were glued to Catherine and Diana.

    With an affectionate stare, he looked towards them and dashed in their direction. He eximed, ¡°Princess Qian, you are really inside Dust Ball¡¯s stomach. Do you know how much I miss you?¡±

    Zhao Yao could only facepalm himself at this sight. Luckily, he had cast an illusion on Matcha and reced him with a fake Matcha which continued talking to the cats.

    The Matcha which was created by Zhao Yao¡¯s illusion exined, ¡°Do not worry. These are the eight supercats that previously resided in the Heart of the Vige of Dreams. From today onwards, they will be your neighbors.¡±

    At the same time, Zhao Yao had already grabbed hold of the lustful Matcha and threw him a death re before asking, ¡°What are you trying to do?¡±

    Sadness clouded his features as Matcha replied Zhao Yao, ¡°Zhao Yao, can I just hug Princess Qian one time? Just once will be enough.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and replied, ¡°Her name is Diana and she doesn¡¯t even know you.¡±

    ¡°Cats just have to lick the other cat¡¯s ass to get to know each other.¡± Matcha began struggling violently in mid-air and protested, ¡°Zhao Yao, let go of me! Diana is waiting for me! How can you bear to separate a pair of love-birds?¡±

    ¡°You are just in love with her pretty face. You are not truly in love.¡±

    ¡°I do not care about her face. I can¡¯t even distinguish someone ugly from someone pretty. To tell you the truth, I fell in love with her not because of her appearance but because of her personality. I will continue to love her even if she¡¯s a dog.¡±

    Zhao Yao lifted his shoulder in a half shrug and replied, ¡°I will only allow it if you are crowned the star cat for the following month.¡±

    Matcha immediately started bawling, ¡°Cat torture! Zhao Yao is torturing me!¡±

    Left with no options, Zhao Yao released Matcha onto the grass and sighed, ¡°Alright, since you are bent on going for her, I shall not stop you as well.¡±

    Matcha bolted towards Diana the moment his paws touched the ground. However, he noticed that Diana had turned into a Shar Pei after taking just a few steps. He thought, ¡°What the hell is this?¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at Diana that was coated with illusion and started giggling. He thought, ¡°Since you are so madly in love with who she really is, I guess you will just make do with it.¡±

    MAtcha stood beside the Shar Pei and was about to open his mouth to lick her ass. However, he started retching the moment he opened his mouth, ¡°She is too ugly, it¡¯s impossible for me to see who she really is.¡±

    Zhao Yao ran his fingers through the fur on his back andmented, ¡°It¡¯s alright, you¡¯ll be used to it after a few licks.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s ears and tail instantly drooped down. He exined, ¡°Zhao Yao, I don¡¯t think I¡¯m capable of loving anyone anymore.¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao used the fake Matcha to exin to Ares and friends, ¡°These are the stray supercats which I have adopted. You will be neighbors from now on.¡±

    Ares slid a guarded look at the five supercats and the mountains and greeneries surrounding him. His eyes were full of suspicion and fear.

    It was natural that domestic cats like Ares would develop these fears when they were taken out of their original habitat and forced into a foreign environment.

    Lion Head and Airne¡¯s eyes were simrly filled with suspicion and wariness as they stared at their futurepanions. Their expressions emanated a strong wave of hostility when they made eye contact with these domestic cats.

    However, Zhao Yao paid no attention to their behaviors. He just continued exining the structure behind the Vige of Dreams, the outskirt, core area and the heart of it.

    Lucifer ran his fingers through the vast grass patch and a thought sprang in his head, ¡°Are all of these really fake?¡±

    Gaia grew more impatient by the second and started stamping his foot against the grass. He stared at Matcha and eximed, ¡°Alright, I think we¡¯ve spent enough time here. Can we go back now?¡±

    Zhao Yao could not help but roll his eyes when he realized just how addicted these supercats were toputer games. However, he could empathize with what they were experiencing since he was once in their shoes.

    Memories of his young self constantly pestering his parents for the game crossed his mind.

    However, he still shook his head and mumbled, ¡°Just a simple game like Diablo 2 can get you so addicted already? What will happen if I give them World of Warcraft, Dota, Pok¨¦mon, and the Witcher in the future?

    Even though Diablo 2 would always be remembered as a ssic, many games had already surpassed it in terms of graphics, gamey and even artistry style.

    He propped his head on his chin and thought, ¡°Furthermore, I have even prepared that game ...¡±

    Zhao Yao (disguised as Matcha) tilted his head towards Gaia and exined, ¡°No, you will die if you continue spending 24 hours staring at that screen. I¡¯ll only allow you to return after three hours of rest.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s words felt like a knife to Gaia¡¯s chest as he copsed to the grass andid there motionlessly.

    With the smile on his face, Zhao Yao turned to face the remaining cats and continued, ¡°Alright, I think I have informed you about the most important things in this world. The rest is up to you to explore and find out.¡±

    With a snap of his fingers, Zhao Yao had disappeared from their sights.

    Actually, Zhao Yao had simply turned himself invisible and was about to bring Matcha away. However, something tugged at his heartstrings as he turned around and spoke to Dust Ball telepathically, ¡°Dust Ball, if anything happens, just return to your belly and inform me. I¡¯ll be entering your belly from time to time. Do you need me to bring along a phone or aptop to relieve you of boredom?¡±

    Dust Ball simply shook her head in response. She had lived all her life as a stray cat and was indifferent to the dramas and games that had captivated Matcha and Elizabeth. To her, these were just too childish.

    On the other hand, the forest and nature in front of her brought her back to the good old days where she could just roam around freely.

    With a few leaps, Dust Ball had masterfully reached a tree branch perched on the top of a tree. A gentle female voice rang in Zhao Yao¡¯s head, ¡°This is so much more interesting than your house. Oh yes, can you bring Mango here as well?¡± Her favoritepanion at home was Mango and this vast grass patch was the best ce for them to chase one another around. Without apanion, it would certainly get rather boring ...

    Zhao Yao gave a bitterugh and replied, ¡°Not now.¡± Zhao Yao did not want Mango littering the ce with all his shit.

    Zhao Yao noticed Dust Ball lowering her head in sadness as she began wandering around the ce aimlessly. He immediately shouted, ¡°How about another cat?¡±

    ¡°Another cat?¡± In her head, the images of all the cats in Zhao Yao¡¯s apartment began racing through her head as she tried to select her ideal hunting partner. Suddenly, her eyes glittered with excitement as she eximed, ¡°Can you send Roly Poly over instead? Also, remember to bring along some catmint!¡±

    ...

    One hourter, Roly Poly had been robbed of his 5 senses as Zhao Yao cradled him in his arms and made his way into Dust Ball¡¯s belly.

    ¡°?¡±

    ¡°Roly Poly, you will stay here and apany Dust Ball.¡± Zhao Yao instructed him as he carefully ced him on the ground.

    Roly Poly still had no idea what was going on. He looked at his surroundings in confusion and asked, ¡°What are we ying?¡±

    ¡°Hunting game!¡± Dust Ball eximed as she began jumping up and down. She continued, ¡°Look at this ce! It¡¯s perfect for a hunting game!¡±

    ¡°Hunting game?¡± Roly Poly had an inkling as to what was going on and rified, ¡°Is it the game that you y with Mango back at home?¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡±

    ¡°Oh,¡± Roly Poly just shrugged his shoulders and seemed rather indifferent with what Dust Ball said. Instead, he whipped out the phone from his bag and asked, ¡°I think I¡¯ll spend some time ying my phone games first. What¡¯s the wifi at this ce?¡±

    Dust Ball tilted his head 90 degrees and replied, ¡°There is no wifi here.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Terror overtook his face as Roly Poly began trembling in fear. He tried topose himself as he mumbled, ¡°It¡¯s alright. I still have some data left. Why is there no signal in this ce?¡±

    Dust Ball¡¯s forehead puckered together and replied, ¡°This is a dugout, I think the signal reception here is quite bad.¡±

    A look of desperation crept up Roly Poly¡¯s face as he stared nkly at Dust Ball, ¡°No wifi, no data connection? Dust Ball sister, why did you even ask me toe here?¡±

    ¡°Obviously to y a hunting game!¡± Dust Ball began encircling Roly Poly at top speed. She eximed, ¡°You will be the catcher for the first round!¡±

    Dust Ball instantly disappeared into the forests, leaving behind a trail of smoke. Roly Poly stretched open his mouth as he copsed to the floor, ¡°Who is even interested in such a stupid game?¡± He began roaring at the top of his voice, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! Get me out of here!¡±

    Dust Ball craned her neck out of the bushes and revealed her tiny head. She exined, ¡°Zhao Yao had already left this ce 10 minutes ago. However, there is still one way to get out if you¡¯re really so bent on leaving.¡±

    Dust Ball mustered her most serious expression and said, ¡°I¡¯ll let you go back if you manage to catch me. You can do so by using my belly as a bridge. You¡¯ll be back in a matter of seconds.¡± Immediately, her head disappeared from the bushes and was nowhere to be seen.

    Roly Poly let out his most menacing roar as he rolled around the grass patch in anger. He shouted, ¡°Every single one of you never respected me, Roly Poly! All you know is to bully me! Are there still rules in this ce? Do you really take me as a retard that you can just push around and toy with?¡± Following the roar, Roly Poly leaped into the bushes and disappeared from sight.

    After running less than 30 meters, Roly Poly was already out of breath as he fell to the ground. He muttered, ¡°No, no, I cannot take it. Thisdy is too strong, too healthy. My strength lies in my burst speed, not my stamina. I need to take a break now.¡±

    Just when he was lying on the ground and trying his best to catch his breath, he noticed a slight movement within the bushes. A glint of excitement shed across his eyes as he pounced in that direction, ¡°I¡¯ve got you!¡±

    Just when he was getting all excited from catching Dust Ball, he lowered his head and realized that it wasn¡¯t Dust Ball in his paw. It was another tri-colored female cat that was about the same size as him. She was none other than Lion Head.

    Since their arrival more than an hour ago, the five supercats had scattered and started exploring the ce on their own.

    Lion Head hade all to way to the border of the Vige of Dreams. She wanted to find out just how big this ce was.

    She never expected a male cat to pounce on her.

    She opened her eyes and saw Roly Poly lying on top of her. Lion Head¡¯s brain exploded with fury as she roared, ¡°F*cking cat! You¡¯re so fat and ugly! I¡¯ll never let youy your stupid paw on my body!¡± Lion Head then threw Roly Poly onto the ground with a shake of her body.

    Roly Poly was extremely embarrassed and apologetic for his action. He lowered his head and whispered, ¡°You¡¯re mistaken, I wasn¡¯t trying to pounce on you. I¡¯ve mistaken you for someone else.¡±

    ¡°Mistake me for someone else? You don¡¯t even dare to own up to your actions?¡± Lion Head raised her fat and thick paws in the air and sent a barrage of ps across Roly Poly¡¯s face. She eximed, ¡°Never let me see you again!¡±

    Roly Poly cupped his face with his paw as anger seared through his body. He thought, ¡°You stupid fat bitch, how dare youy a finger on me?¡± However, upon realizing Lion Head¡¯s size, Roly Poly could only whisper, ¡°You are really mistaken.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, mistaken my ass. Do you think I have no idea what you horny male cats are thinking about? You are just after my beauty.¡± Lion Head turned around before sauntering away.

    Seeing Lion Head¡¯s body disappearing into the horizons, Roly Poly held down his left paw using his right paw. ¡°m down, Roly Poly. Do not kill another cat. Have you forgotten how strong you are? If you let your anger get the better of you, it will just end up in a bloodbath, a catastrophe that the world has never witnessed.

    So you have to control and control. Do not let this spotted female cat infuriate you. You have a more important mission to attend to!¡±

    Seeing that Lion Head hadpletely disappeared from his sight, Roly Poly finally roared in her direction, ¡°Hmph, I¡¯m letting you go this time around!¡± He then turned towards another direction and began his search for Dust Ball.

    With his meaty paws pressing against the grass patch, Roly Poly began his search for Dust Ball. He took his time exploring the ce and was taken aback by its massiveness. Mountains extended into more mountains before as they extended infinitely into the horizon. Roly Poly sighed and mumbled, ¡°Just how big is this god da*n ce?¡±

    Roly Poly whipped out his phone in desperation but there was still no signal. His feet gave way as his body copsed against the soft grass. He stared at the clear blue sky but a look of despair was stered on his face. He thought, ¡°I can¡¯t continue. Let¡¯s not talk about finding Dust Ball, I might even die here.¡±

    At this moment, a gentle and faint meow rang in his ears, jolting him from his rest.

    ¡°This is the meow of a female cat. From the sound of it, it is ...¡± Excitement poured out from his eyes as he continued, ¡°It is a beautiful female cat!¡± Roly Poly jumped to his feet before stashing his phone back into the bag. He then set off in the direction of the meow.

    Soon, he found himself at the foot of a gorgeous garden. Standing inside it were two beautiful ragdolls chasing after a butterfly. The two cats inside the garden were none other than Catherine and Diana.

    Roly Poly¡¯s heartbeat grew faster and faster and was swept off his feet by this beautiful scene. Excitement fluttered inside him as he mumbled, ¡°She¡¯s Princess Qian ... No, I remember Elizabeth mentioning their real names. Are they Catherine and Diana?¡±

    Roly Poly began licking his fur from head to toe in his best effort to groom himself. Happiness flooded through him as all sorts of thoughts flooded his head. He thought, ¡°I never expect to meet them here. D*mn it, I¡¯m so nervous. What am I supposed to talk about when I meet them?¡±

    Just when Roly Poly was busy licking the fur on his stomach, he was distracted by an ear-splitting shriek which came in the ragdolls¡¯ direction.

    Roly Poly instantly lifted his head and noticed two obnoxious cats surrounding the beautiful Ragdolls. The two cats began closing in on Catherine and Diana.

    With a lustful smile stered on his face, Airne asked, ¡°Hehehe,dy are you interested in ying with me?¡±

    Airne¡¯s subordinate, Sausage, followed up by saying, ¡°Can you hear us? My boss here is interested in ying with you. Let¡¯s just cut to the chase and just lie down and point your ass towards us.¡±

    ¡°Hey!¡± Airne gave a dismissive wave of his paw and eximed, ¡°Sausage! How many times have I mentioned to you to watch yournguage when speaking todies?¡± Airne did not wipe the lustful smile off of his face as he continued, ¡°My two fairdies, are you interested in mating with me?¡±

    Catherine took a step forward and blocked her daughter, Diana, with her own body. Her chest tightened with fear as she eximed, ¡°What do you want from us?¡±

    Diana craned her neck forward and eximed, ¡°My dad is just around the corner. He will not forgive you if you try to do anything funny to us!¡±

    ¡°Oh, are you talking about the other ragdoll?¡± Airne started rotating his ears as he spoke.

    Diana slid Airne a curious look and asked, ¡°You¡¯ve seen my father?¡±

    Catherine looked equally surprised to hear Airne¡¯s words and asked, ¡°What have you done to my husband?¡±

    Instantly, Airne revealed a psychopathic smile which sent shivers down their spines. He sniggered, ¡°Oh, I thought he was a female cat. Your species have such beautiful and puffy fur which makes it hard to distinguish males from females. Anyway, let¡¯s not talk about him since he¡¯s definitely noting to your rescue.¡±

    As he spoke, Airne stretched open his mouth and stuck his tongue out. With his lecherous gaze fixed on both Diana and Catherine, he began sauntering towards them. He asked with a cheeky smile, ¡°Heydy, let¡¯s y a simple game.¡±

    Anger seared through Catherine as she stared at this despicable cat trying to take advantage of her. She eximed, ¡°You bloody scumbag!¡± Just when she was about to activate her power, she heard a menacing grunt and saw a fat cat with a white belly dashing out of the bushes.

    Roly Poly swooped down into the scene like a hero about to save the damsel in distress. He roared, ¡°Stop it! Who dares to bully Diana?¡± All the supercats were taken aback by his abrupt appearance.

    However, he began to slow down after running less than 20 meters. His breathing grew rapid and his sprint slowed down to a brisk walk. He continued walking in the direction as he struggled toplete his sentence, ¡°As ... as long as .... I am here ... none .... none of you ... can dream .... dream of bullying ... bullying Diana.¡±

    Airne threw a condescending re at Roly Poly before fixing his eyes back on Catherine. However, Catherine had already activated her power.

    Instantly, a rumbling sound erupted in the air as Roly Poly, Airne and Sausage simultaneously copsed to the floor, deep in sleep.

    Diana who had kept her eyes shut finally opened her eyes and stared curiously at Roly Poly which was lying in the far corner. She asked, ¡°Mum, who is this cat? I think he was trying to help us just now.¡±

    ¡°Who knows? But from the looks of it, he¡¯s a rather weak cat.¡±

    At this moment, Lion Head appeared from one of the bushes and rushed towards the two victims. She noticed the three male cats lying unconsciously on the ground and eximed, ¡°Catherine, Diana, are you okay? Did Airne try to hurt you?¡±

    Catherina shook her head and replied, ¡°They did try to bully us but I managed to subdue them.¡±

    ¡°Meowhaha, good job!¡± Joy welled up in her heart as Lion Head heard those words. However, there was an unfamiliar body lying on the floor. Upon closer inspection, Lion Head realized who he was and mumbled, ¡°Huh? It¡¯s this guy?¡±

    ¡°What happened? Lion sister, do you know him?¡±

    ¡°Hmph,¡± Lion Head lowered her head in embarrassment as she struggled to get the words out of her mouth, ¡°This fat cat tried to take advantage of me. He emerged from the shadows and pounced on my body. He did not want to let go regardless of how much I struggled.¡±

    The two ragdolls¡¯ impression of Roly Poly changed instantly. They threw a condescending look at Roly Poly as they listened to the vivid story painted by Lion Head.

    Finally, the three cats took their leave from that horrid ce. Suddenly, Diana¡¯s voice rang in Catherine¡¯s head as she asked, ¡°Mother, why are we walking beside Lion Head?¡±

    The corner of her lips curled up as Catherine replied telepathically, ¡°Don¡¯t you feel so much skinnier and more elegant by just walking next to her?¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Diana was ted by her mother¡¯s response and quickened her pace to catch up with Lion Head. With happiness spelled all over her face, Diana asked, ¡°Mum, do I look skinnier?¡±

    ¡°Meowhaha, Diana, you look so cute!¡± Catherine followed suit by literally stering her body onto Lion Head and asked, ¡°My precious daughter, does my neck look thinner than before?¡±

    ¡°Oh mum, you look as if you¡¯re just as young as me.¡±

    ...

    At the same time, a pair of teenager and middle-aged man sauntered towards the entrance of Jiangmen University.

    The teenager took a nce at the campus¡¯s building before heaving a long sigh, ¡°I haven¡¯t been back here for a long time.¡±

    The middle-aged man who had tattoos all over his arms sniggered, ¡°So this is your alma mater?¡±

    ¡°Hmph, I remember this school but I¡¯m sure they have already forgotten about me.¡± The teenager shook his head before continuing, ¡°Let¡¯s go and locate the cat king for this school.¡±

    The middle-aged man replied, ¡°I heard from Ah Huang that there are two cat kings on this campus. However, both cats have gone missing recently.¡±

    ¡°Oh? Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s rted to the sudden disappearance of that old cat from Xiang Yang district?¡± A frown crept up the teenager¡¯s face as he continued, ¡°Even though this has reduced ourpetitors for thepetition, we have simrly lost the power of two supercats.¡±

    The tattooed middle-aged man bellowed inughter and said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. Most of these supercats are so stupid and their powers do not have much potential for growth.¡±

    ¡°That is true,¡± The teenager nodded his head in agreement, ¡°The government is definitely behind this cat kingpetition. I¡¯m afraid they¡¯re using this as an opportunity to unite all supercats and allow them to understand the existing superpowers. However, this has also provided an opportunity for us.¡±

    As he spoke, the teenager noticed a stray cat leaping over the school fence. His eyes squinted into a line as he eximed, ¡°Catch up. Let¡¯s find out if the two cat kings are still alive!¡±

    The pair of teenager and middle-aged man quickly followed behind the stray cat which disappeared into the forest. Upon reaching a secluded fence by the corner of the road, the pair simply scrunched their back and produced an enormous explosive force which propelled them over it. Their movements were as quick and agile as a monkey as they continued stalking the cat.

    The pair had far surpassed any ordinary human beings in terms of their speed, mobility, and agility. Even the stray cat failed to detect their presence.

    Finally, they noticed the stray cat stopping by the eaves of a building as itid there to rest. A frown appeared on their faces as they groaned, ¡°D*mn it, it seems like that cat is not leading us to the cat king.¡±

    However, the tattooed man remained unfazed and responded, ¡°Be patient. These ordinary cats have no method ofmunication within themselves. But it would eventually lead us to the cat king if it still exists.¡±

    A smile crept up the teenager¡¯s face as he sniggered, ¡°I guess it¡¯s the cat king¡¯s unlucky day. Today, he will finally meet the true monster.¡±

    For the next hour, the pair wandered around like spirits as they continued stalking the cat, which was oblivious to their existence, in search of the cat king.

    ...

    Within the Vige of Dreams, Roly Poly was wandering around the forest with his head buried in his chest. The perfect illusion had created the ideal natural environment for the supercats to enjoy. The effects were not limited to what he saw but extended to what he heard, smelt, touched and even tasted.

    This meant that he could make out the earthy smell stemming from the scent of the ponderosa pine forest. His paws could detect the texture of the grass and even the branches and twigs scattered across the ground. He could even discern the uniquely bitter taste tingling on his tongue as he stuffed a handful of grass into his mouth.

    However, Roly Poly was not ustomed to life spent in the outdoors. He had spent his entire life as a domestic cat. The difference between a stray and domestic cat¡¯s lives was worlds apart. After spending so much time within theforts of the four walls, these domestic cats no long yearned nor appreciated the freedom of the outdoors.

    It was not just the environment affecting Roly Poly; the previous incident continued lingering at the back of his head.

    ¡°D*mn it. Of all people, why did I have to faint in front of Diana? How did this happen? In her eyes, I am definitely the most stupid and retarded male cat.¡±

    Sham spiraled through Roly Poly and he could not even walk with his head up high. He just wanted to curl up in shame. Suddenly, he noticed a unique scent permeating the air. Immediately, he raised his head and noticed a furry object lying in the corner of his eyes. That body shook from time to time and it seemed like it was crying.

    That long and puffy white fur adorned with dark-colored patterns and the tail that was as thick as a faux fur shawl ...

    ¡°Diana!¡± Excitement overwhelmed Roly Poly as he started sprinting in that direction. He eximed, ¡°Diana, I identally tripped just now. I didn¡¯t faint. I wasn¡¯t scared of them!¡±

    Diana¡¯s ears quivered when she heard Roly Poly¡¯s exmations. Suddenly, she turned her head around and what Roly Poly saw made the pit of his stomach fell.

    Roly Poly started rubbing his eyes vigorously in an attempt to see clearly. He mumbled, ¡°You ... you are not Diana?¡±

    What Roly Poly saw was actually Caesar. With his forehead puckered together, Caesar heaved a long sigh of despair, ¡°Are you looking for my daughter? She is not here. She had left for a walk with her mother.¡±

    ¡°You are Diana¡¯s dad, Caesar?¡± In Roly Poly¡¯s eyes, everyone belonging to Elizabeth¡¯s family was a precious treasure.

    ¡°Technically, I am. However, I¡¯m just a father that had failed miserably. My wife disdains me while my daughter treats me like shit. Even the hooligan along the streets tried to bully me.¡± Sadness clouded his features as he continued, ¡°What¡¯s the point in me living?¡±

    Roly Poly could empathize with his emotions as he nodded his head in agreement, ¡°Indeed, there are too many evil cats in this world. All of them are bullies or assholes. They only know how to build their happiness upon someone else¡¯s suffering.¡±

    Suddenly, Caesar¡¯s eyes sparkled with happiness as he finally found someone who understood him, ¡°Your words really struck a chord with me. These assholes only know how to bully the defenseless cats with their stupid abilities. A truly strong individual would never use its power for such immoral acts.¡±

    Roly Poly continued, ¡°However, female cats are attracted to such nasty behavior. All they see in their eyes are their shy moves and cool behavior. How can they be so superficial?¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Caesar nodded his head violently and replied, ¡°Female cats are growing increasingly superficial! One day, when I finally unleash my true power, no male cat would be able to hold a candle to me.¡±

    Roly Poly and Caesar regarded each another as their long-lost brother and hit it off instantly. Caesar pped Roly Poly on his back and announced, ¡°Good brother, you are the second most loyal brother I¡¯ve ever met in my life. We might not have the fortune to be blood brother but from today onwards, we will be sworn brothers. Till death do us apart!¡±

    ¡°Caesar brother!¡± Happiness bloomed inside Roly Poly as his face radiated with a bright smile. He thought, ¡°Yes! I have one more opportunity to get closer to Diana!¡± He did not care about the possible implications for dating your brother¡¯s daughter.

    Roly Poly could not help but ask, ¡°Caesar brother, what do you n to do for the rest of the day?¡± Roly Poly prayed that he could tag along and meet his family. He had long forgotten about Dust Ball and his previous attempts to return to the apartment.

    ¡°I intend to look for my other loyal brother, Ares. This cat, Ares, has a righteous spirit which is seldom seen in today¡¯s world. There are too many cats within the Vige of Dreams. We must form a strong and united front, consisting of virtuous people like you and me. Why not you join me in meeting him?¡±

    ¡°Of course, Caesar¡¯s brother will naturally be my brother as well.¡±

    ¡°My loyal brother!¡± Caesar beamed with excitement as he patted Roly Poly on his back. Next, the pair of sworn brothers made their way towards Ares as they disappeared into the horizons.

    ¡°Roly Poly, this stupid fellow!¡± Dust Ball craned her neck out of the bushes and gave a menacing snarl. She thought, ¡°This guy¡¯s movement is too slow and he is too undependable. I think I should be the catcher instead. It would take eons before he manages to catch me. Or maybe ... I can find another cat to y with.¡±

    Dust Ball immediately tranted her thoughts into actions. Her wild nature unleashed as Dust Ball leaped onto a tree branch before disappearing into the shadows.

    The perfect illusion had wlessly altered the cats¡¯ five senses. In reality, Dust Ball might have been running on the spot. However, she could clearly feel the adrenaline rushing through her as she charged against the wind blowing across her face. She felt the grass brushing across her paws and the fragrance of the newly-bloomed flowers flooding her nose. Everything was real to her. There was nothing fake about it.

    Joy warmed her from within as she finally experienced the freedom which she had long yearned for.

    Dust Ball was extremely different aspared to Roly Poly, who had been raised as a domestic cat since young. The most salient difference between them was that stray cats had already grown ustomed to the freedom which they enjoyed in the wilderness.

    Domestic cats loved to spend time at home and hate to leave it. Stray cats which were used to the outdoors hated being cooped at home and would grab on to any opportunity which allowed them to leave.

    Dust Ball only chose to remain inside the apartment because of the influence of Celestial Beats. However, after months of rehabilitation, her body had almost fully recovered from ramifications of dwarfism. She had regained the spring in her steps and felt an unprecedented euphoria at this moment.

    With a few strides, she had almost reached the borders. She was like an elegant Cheetah as she hid under the undergrowth and slowly crept towards her target.

    Aspared to domestic cats such as Roly Poly, Elizabeth, and Matcha, Dust Ball possessed superb hunting skills which were unparalleled among them.

    She could feel her blood pulsating through the body, and the adrenaline rushing through her as she began to hide, sprint and hunt.

    She could not help but licked her razor-sharp ws and mumbled, ¡°This is the true game.¡±

    Dust Ball loved real life hunting gamespared to theputer games which Matcha reveled in. Actually, most cats preferred hunting games. On the surface, it might seem like a simple game of chase. However, it involvedplex elements of reconnaissance, spying, and hunting. This was why Dust Ball had fallen in love with it.

    She had no choice but to resort to ying with Mango back at the apartment.

    Dust Ball¡¯s yellow eyes peered through the cracks between the leaves as she observed the situation ahead of her. Ares and five other cats were at the borders and were in the midst of an intense discussion.

    Ares nced at the signboard in front of him and mumbled, ¡°Danger, do not exceed.¡± He tilted his head from left to right as a glimmer of brilliance shed across his eyes. Hemented, ¡°I believe this is the border of the Vige of Dreams.¡±

    Beside the words was an awful drawing of a skull.

    Lucifer nodded his head in agreement andmented, ¡°I¡¯m not sure what kind of magic or power lies ahead of us which will stop us from leaving this ce.¡±

    F¨±jin scrutinize their surroundings and saw the infinite mountains stretching into the horizon andmented, ¡°Aren¡¯t there just gonna be more mountains as we proceed forward?¡±

    ¡°King George has mentioned before that everything here is not real. They just seem real.¡± The American Shorthairmented.

    Gaia just stared at his paws and was totally indifferent to their discussion. Hemented, ¡°How long are we going to discuss for? Let¡¯s go back and y Diablo 2!¡±

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you curious what lies ahead of this?¡± Ares threw a disdainful re at Gaia. Then, he fixed his eyes on the horizon as all sorts of thoughts rushed through his head. Hemented, ¡°How dangerous is it going to be? What will happen if we really leave? A cat without curiosity is as good as a cat without a soul.¡±

    Lucifer nodded his head and was simrly brimming with curiosity, ¡°We need a brave cat to volunteer. This cat would cross the border and find out what lies ahead.¡±

    F¨±jin added on, ¡°This cat must be both brave and quick-witted. The cat of all cats.¡±

    Rakshasa turned his head towards Gaia and continued, ¡°Also, this cat must be someone who we can depend on, preferably our brother in arms.¡±

    A few secondster, the silence was punctured by a deafening scream as Gaia was thrown across the signboard andnded on the grass patch beyond the borders.

    With their eyes staring intently at Gaia, they saw him fall to the ground andy motionlessly on the ground.

    F¨±jin buried in his head in his paws as fear snaked through him. He eximed, ¡°D*mn it, don¡¯t tell me Gaia is dead! That¡¯s impossible!¡±

    ¡°How is that even possible?¡± Lucifer grew flustered as he noticed F¨±jin¡¯s reaction andmented, ¡°It¡¯s impossible. King George would never set up a barrier that would instantly kill any cats that cross it.¡±

    Initially, none of them expected anything too catastrophic from happening. That was why they agreed on throwing Gaia into no man¡¯snd.

    Meanwhile, Ares retained hisposure even though hispanions were shaking like a leaf. He shook his ears as he carefully analyzed the situation. Finally, he remarked, ¡°There are still breathing soundsing from Gaia. From the looks of it, he¡¯s also not injured.¡±

    With a wave of his small paw, his invisible deflective field had morphed into a giant hand and swooped towards Gaia. Ares scooped the unconscious Gaia off the floor and back to their original location.

    The supercats huddled over Gaia¡¯s unconscious body as they hurriedly checked for all his vitals. After a series of inspection, they realized that the cat whichy in front of them was ... simply sleeping.

    Momentster, Gaia finally woke up from his sleep and Ares rushed over to question him, ¡°What happened? Was there any special sensation when you cross the border?¡±

    Gaia was still in a daze and struggled to reply, ¡°I ... I don¡¯t know. Suddenly, my ... my vision just turned dark.¡±

    Ares seemed deep in thought and nodded his head to Gaia¡¯s words. Then, he raised his paw in the air and Gaia was once again elevated into the air by the invisible field.

    Gaia finally reacted to the situation and eximed, ¡°What are you trying to do?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m trying it again.¡±

    ¡°Wait, wait, wait, wait!¡± Gaia struggled with all his might as he eximed at the top of his voice, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t Lucifer be the one doing things like this?¡±

    ¡°Hmph,¡± Ares turned his head towards Lucifer and shot him a curious nce.

    A brilliant idea sprang into his head as he exined, ¡°Lucifer has the power of extraordinary regeneration. Shouldn¡¯t we use this ability to test out uncharted waters?¡±

    ¡°That is true.¡± Ares propped his chin on his paw and stared in Lucifer¡¯s direction. All the other supercats did the exact same thing.

    Momentster, the four remaining supercat grabbed Lucifer by his limbs and raised him in the air.

    Lucifer struggled and eximed, ¡°Let me down now! If not, I¡¯ll pee all over your faces!¡±

    Bam!

    Ares stroked his chin thoughtfully as he carefully observed Lucifer¡¯s body lying motionlessly on the ground. He whispered, ¡°It seems like Lucifer is also unconscious.¡±

    This process repeated many times. It would start with Lucifer¡¯s incessant screaming but the screaming would stop the moment his body crossed the boundary as he entered the illusion which stripped him of his five senses. They tried throwing him at various trajectories, but the result remained the same.

    Suddenly, Dust Ball¡¯s voice rang from behind as they were in the midst of experimenting a new method.

    ¡°The five of you can stop trying already. It¡¯s impossible to leave this ce.¡±

    Lucifer who had only just regained consciousness also turned his head towards Dust Ball. The five cats turned their heads in unison and noticed a tiny head peeking out from the gaps between the leaves. Dust Ball stared intently at them.

    ¡°You are the dark knight! You are King George¡¯s brother?¡± Ares recognized her the moment he noticed this ck cat. He whispered, ¡°Why does this cat sound so girly and feminine?¡±

    Dust Ball simmered with rage when he heard those ill-manneredments and thought, ¡°Because I¡¯m a god da*mn female cat.¡± However, she was toozy to exin everything to them and decided to cut to the chase, ¡°You cannot leave this ce. However, if you manage to catch me, I¡¯ll let you return to the Heart of the Vige of Dreams and y yourputer game.¡±

    Gaia fell to the ground andined, ¡°Didn¡¯t King George say that we can return by simply informing you?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s Zhao ...¡± Dust Ball instantly corrected her choice of words before continuing, ¡°That¡¯s what the silly King George said. His words have no power to me. There is only one way for you to return ¨C catch me.¡±

    Ares sniggered, ¡°Who do you think you are? I am ...¡±

    ¡°The Fist of the North Star!¡±

    Bam! Invisible ripples erupted from his body and swept across the entire grass ins. Ares thrust his paw into the air which morphed into a giant hand racing towards Dust Ball.

    Dust Ball guffawed at this sight before she disappeared into the bushes.

    ¡°Catch it!¡± Ares roared, ¡°Since we can¡¯t get out, we must capture the gate into the Heart of the Vige of Dreams.¡±

    The five cats instantly gave chase like a pack of hunting dogs. However, Dust Ball was already long gone.

    ¡°Separate and find it. It should not have gone too far.¡±

    A few minutester, a swirl of gas appeared at Dust Ball¡¯s original position. She pranced out of her extradimensional belly with a cheeky smile on her face. She whispered, ¡°Heehee, none of you would be able to catch me.¡±

    ....

    After sending Roly Poly into his belly, Zhao Yao had returned to his cat caf¨¦.

    It was already the second day since the caf¨¦ reopened for business. Zhao Yao had not even taken a single step into the caf¨¦ but had already noticed the crowd. The caf¨¦ flooded with customers. The first floor alone had close to 50 customers.

    It seemed like the customers could not wait to return after seven days of hiatus.

    Zhao Yao had just reached the corridor leading to his caf¨¦ when he noticed two girls rushing towards his caf¨¦ with his superb visual skills.

    One of the girls wore an oversized jean, coupled with a baggy t-shirt. She sported a ck-rimmed spectacle but her hair was a mess. From the looks of it, she had not showered for the past few days.

    The other girl wore a ck and white uniform. She was extremely petite and looked just like a middle-school student.

    ¡°Hmph, is this ... Yan Xiao Qing and An Xin?¡± Zhao Yao squinted his eyes into a line and instantly recognized the both of them. Maybe it¡¯s because they were regrs of the caf¨¦.

    He remembered that Yan Xiao Qing was an average student that never excelled in her studies. On the other hand, An Xin was an all As student who spent all her time in the caf¨¦ with her face buried in her books.

    Yan Xiao Qing and An Xin were currently making their way towards the caf¨¦.

    Yan Xiao Qing¡¯s mood plummeted the moment she started recollecting her experience the past week.

    Originally, her body had benefited immensely from the powers of Celestial Beats. She even improved in the game, yerUnknown¡¯s Battlegrounds.

    However, her health plummeted and reverted to the original state after the past week of hiatus. This was what happened when Celestial Beats was taken away from their lives.

    Not only did her dark circles returned to haunt her, pimples started popping up all over her face from the midnight oil that she burnt. Her face had instantly deteriorated to an unimaginable state. Yan Xiao Qing could not tolerate it any longer.

    ¡°D*mn it, I think I have aged by at least five years over the past week.¡±

    Every day, she woulde over to the caf¨¦, brimming with anticipation. However, the workers inside had no idea when the caf¨¦ would resume business and she would leave with disappointment. Her resentment towards the cafe grew with every passing day.

    She had just learned that the caf¨¦ had finally reopened for business and instantly dragged her friend, An Xin, back there.

    Yan Xiao Qing¡¯s eyes beamed with excitement when she noticed the crowd inside. She eximed, ¡°It¡¯s finally open.¡± She held An Xin¡¯s hands and literally dragged her into the caf¨¦.

    A smile crept up Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he approached the both of them with a friendly wave, ¡°Hey, it¡¯s been so long ...¡±

    However, the two girls seemed oblivious to him and just entered the caf¨¦, ignoring his wave.

    Zhao Yao curled his lips in disgust and mumbled, ¡°Kids these days are really so ill-mannered.¡±

    Once they entered the caf¨¦, their bodies were once again bathed in the soothing effects of Celestial Beats. Her expression was abination of happiness, relief, and excitement. Xiao Qing pressed her palms against her cheeks and eximed, ¡°My pretty face is finally returning!¡±

    An Xin, who stood beside Xiao Qing, started to rx as her body was relieved of all the pressures and tensions. She heaved a sigh of relief andmented, ¡°Finally, no more menstrual cramps. I¡¯m just gonna camp at this ce during that time of the month. No one is ever going to kick me out of here.¡±

    Zhao Yao followed behind them and rolled his eyes when he heard theirments, ¡°Do you really take this ce as a gynecological clinic.

    Suddenly, a sweet voice erupted in the caf¨¦ as Xiao Qing eximed, ¡°Boss!¡± It seemed like she had only just noticed Zhao Yao¡¯s existence.

    An Xin¡¯s face flushed with embarrassment as she retorted, ¡°Why did you eavesdrop on our conversation?¡±

    ¡°You were the one who announced it to everyone.¡± Zhao Yao carefully put on his shoe covers and continued, ¡°Do not feel embarrassed. This is just a natural biological process and menstrual pains are just a part of it. We are all mature adults and there¡¯s nothing for you to worry about.¡±

    An Xin pouted her lips and began screaming in her head, ¡°Mature my ass! You are just a cat caf¨¦ owner. You do not have to worry about my menstrual pains!¡±

    Zhao Yao continued putting on the other shoe cover andmented, ¡°Young girls like you have no idea how to take care of your body. During that time of the month, you still continue eating ice-cream and drinking milk tea. In the middle of the bloody winter, you are still wearing that stupid mini-skirt. Obviously, you¡¯ll suffer from menstrual cramps. Spend more time in my caf¨¦ and rehabilitate. Just order some warm water when the pain kicks in.¡±

    An Xin curled her lips and responded, ¡°Boss, I¡¯m sure you don¡¯t have a girlfriend.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s bullshit. I¡¯m just not interested in looking for one. For a man of my caliber, I cannot just randomly pick any girl from the streets.¡±

    An Xin cursed him in her head, ¡°You are doomed to spend the rest of your life alone.¡±

    Meanwhile, Xiao Qing whipped her phone out of her pocket and eximed, ¡°Boss, add me on WeChat.¡±

    Zhao Yao threw her a disdainful re and replied, ¡°What are you doing? Don¡¯t just fall for me because of my good looks. How can you be so superficial?¡±

    Yan Xiao Qing retorted, ¡°I¡¯m afraid you might suddenly close the caf¨¦ and run off for a holiday. At least, I¡¯ll be able to contact you and find out the day that you return.¡±

    ¡°Oh, that¡¯s why. You gave me a scare.¡± Zhao Yap whipped out his phone and tapped on WeChat, ¡°Just scan my code.¡±

    Xiao Qing sessfully added him on WeChat and noticed his id ¡®Too handsome for a name¡¯ and could not help but rolled her eyes in disbelief. She thought, ¡°How narcissistic is he?¡± She secretly tapped on his contact and changed his name on her phone to ¡®Elizabeth¡¯s personal janitor¡¯.

    After bantering with his regrs, Zhao Yao returned to the caf¨¦ to face Shi Yu¡¯s barrage of scolding, ¡°Zhao Yao, you have finally returned? Have you enjoyed yourself from your adventures outside?¡±

    Zhao Yao broke intoughter and replied, ¡°Shi Yu, do you know what the most important thing of the 21st century is?¡±

    Shi Yu was stunned by his question and replied, ¡°Talent?¡±

    ¡°Nope,¡± Zhao Yao acted as if he was drowning in disappointment before continuing, ¡°As an insider, I expected more from you. Obviously, it¡¯s cats. I have spent this time in search of more cats for our caf¨¦.¡±

    Shi Yu stared at Zhao Yao nkly and asked, ¡°So where are they?¡±

    Zhao Yao heaved a long sigh and answered, ¡°All the cats are addicted toputer games. It¡¯s so hard to find a hardworking andpetent worker.¡±

    Shi Yu continued, ¡°How about a human helper? When you weren¡¯t around, we couldn¡¯t manage with so many things happening inside the caf¨¦. At least, hire another person to help out.¡±

    ¡°No, I have to keep the costs low. I will be in charge of the waste disposal.¡± The profit directly affected his experience points earned. Hence, Zhao Yao would stop at nothing to maximize his earnings.

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao¡¯s voice echoed in Elizabeth¡¯s head, ¡°Elizabeth, I¡¯m going to clear all the rubbish and trash from the caf¨¦. Help me cast an illusion on me.¡±

    Hence, Zhao Yao was walking around the caf¨¦, interacting with customers in everyone¡¯s eyes. However, that was just an illusion. Actually, he went around the cafe with his mouth wide-opened and started absorbing all the trash scattered across the floor, bar counter, tables, and chairs. Whenever he opened his mouth, the trash would turn into streaks of shadows before disappearing into his mouth.

    As the only person in the entire caf¨¦ that actually saw what happened, Elizabeth threw a disdainful re at Zhao Yao. Shemented, ¡°Why can¡¯t you just clean using a vacuum cleaner like any ordinary human being would?¡±

    ¡°Elizabeth, even though this might seem extremely disturbing from your perspective, but in actual fact, the rubbish just enters the extradimensional belly straight. They don¡¯t even touch my lips.¡± Zhao Yao gave a half shrug of his shoulders before continuing, ¡°Initially, I shared simr concerns as well. However, I realized how convenient it was once I got the hang of it.¡± After one round of absorption, Zhao Yao retreated to the trash can behind and vomited everything into it.

    Elizabeth continued staring at Zhao Yao with her condescending look and remarked, ¡°This is in disgusting no matter how I look at it.¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t this better than you licking your fur with your tongue? You don¡¯t even know how filthy your fur is.¡± A lopsided smile appeared on Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he continued, ¡°How about I help you clean your fur using my belly. Then you won¡¯t have to lick them clean anymore.¡±

    A glimmer of excitement crossed Elizabeth¡¯s eyes as she found Zhao Yao¡¯s proposition rather tempting. Every day, she would spend an inordinate amount of time cleaning her fur. However, the thought of Zhao Yao cleaning her fur made her retch.

    From afar, Zhao Yao observed Hanako politely serving the customers. She seemed so enthusiastic and helpful. Zhao Yao sniggered, ¡°This Japanese gal is really capable.¡±

    As usual, a horde of college girls huddled over Elizabeth. Coco Sun, who donned on a French maid costume, ran her fingers through Elizabeth¡¯s fur and whispered excitedly into her ears, ¡°Elizabeth, I haven¡¯t seen you in such a long time. Do you miss me?¡±

    Elizabeth rolled her eyes at Coco before turning her head away. Elizabeth¡¯s behavior left Xiao Qing bellowing withughter. She eximed, ¡°Elizabeth doesn¡¯t like you. I am her favorite customer.¡± Immediately, she cradled Elizabeth in her arms and pressed her against her chest.

    Zhao Yaomunicated to Elizabeth telepathically, ¡°Elizabeth, is everything okay over at Hanako¡¯s side?¡±

    Elizabeth who was still deliberating on the issue of cleaning her fur replied indifferently, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I have my eyes on her.¡± At the same time, she pushed Xiao Qing away from her and grumbled, ¡°Doesn¡¯t this woman lick her own fur at all? All the fur on her head is so greasy and knotty.¡±

    The construction of cat nation and the Vige of Dreams was too important and Zhao Yao could not risk bringing Hanako along. Hence, he had left Hanako in the caf¨¦ with Elizabeth watching over her.

    A thought sprang to his head when Zhao Yao saw Elizabeth and asked, ¡°Oh yes, your parents and sister are all inside the dugout. Would you like to pay them a visit?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s there to see?¡± Elizabeth swung her tail from side to side nonchntly. She exined, ¡°The three of them are so irritating. They just want to act all pretty and elegant. Their behavior just gets on my toes.¡± Suddenly, Elizabeth snarled furiously at a girl as she embarrassedly removed her hands off of Elizabeth¡¯s belly.

    ¡°Hmph, there are so many new customers nowadays. None of them has any clue about the rules here. They don¡¯t know how to keep their hands to themselves.¡± Elizabeth grumbled, ¡°Zhao Yao, can you create a booklet, detailing the dos and don¡¯ts in the caf¨¦?¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head and replied, ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll get Baiquan to do it.¡± With the influx of customers, it was time to establish some basic rules for all customers toply with. Zhao Yao could not expect all of them to memorize each cat¡¯s distinct personality and adjust their behavior ordingly.

    The contractors maintained the overall ambiance within the caf¨¦. Until now, Zhao Yao hasn¡¯t seen thepleted renovation upstairs. With excitement racing through his heart, Zhao Yao sprinted upstairs to take a look.

    The second floor was adorned with predominantly wooden furniture. Wallpapers decorated the entire space with beanbags scattered across the floor. There were even some kitty towers for the cats to enjoy. Even though it was far from being consideredvish, it was definitely very homely.

    ¡°This is quite an aplishment given how much time they had.¡± However, Zhao Yao had also noticed the poor numbers on the second floor. Because of theck of cats, most customers were congregated on the first floor.

    After clearing all the rubbish, Zhao Yao whipped out his BOOK and took a nce at the content. Evidently, none of the supercats had returned to his belly, leaving his chain mission unfinished.

    He thought, ¡°What¡¯s taking the cats such a long time?¡± He had already used his ultimate bait,puter games, as a lure to ensure that the supercats would always return to his belly.

    Hence, he went to the back door and absorbed himself into his extradimensional belly when he ensured no one was looking at him. He eximed, ¡°Dust Ball, why aren¡¯t the supercats back yet?¡±

    Immediately, Dust Ball appeared in his eyes but she was panting heavily and struggled to talk. Zhao Yao was perplexed by what happened and asked, ¡°Why are you panting so heavily? Is your illness kicking in again?¡±

    ¡°No .... No...¡± Sparks of excitement shot across Dust Ball¡¯s eyes as she eximed, ¡°I¡¯m better than ever!¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head suspiciously and continued asking, ¡°What about the supercats? Aren¡¯t they supposed to be back already?¡±

    Dust Ball tilted her head to her side and tried her best recalling what happened.

    ...

    ¡°She¡¯s at the top of that tree! Surround her!¡±

    ¡°Be careful, she is going to jump down anytime!¡±

    ¡°Ahhh, my back is about to break! Didn¡¯t any of your parents teach you to respect your elderlies?¡±

    ¡°Be careful, she is going towards your direction!¡±

    ¡°Caesar, why are you so useless. You let her escape before your very eyes!¡±

    ¡°The Fist of the North Star!¡±

    ¡°Why is she gone again? Everyone split up and find her!¡±

    ¡°Boohoo, I don¡¯t want to y anymore. I just want some fried chicken.¡±

    ..

    Dust Ball nodded her head with a contented smile stered on her face. She exined, ¡°Hmph ... they ... they are all having such a great time outside. We are ying a game and everyone¡¯s enjoying themselves.¡±

    ¡°ying a game together? This is weird. Maybe oneputer game is not enough to capture everyone¡¯s interest?¡± Zhao Yao raised hisptop in the air and announced, ¡°You don¡¯t have to force them to return if they¡¯re unwilling to. I will give them moreputer games. I guess Diablo 2 has lost its former glory.¡±

    Hence, Zhao Yao rushed over to all the terminals and started installing an assortment of games in all theptops.

    ¡°Hmph, I can¡¯t connect theptops to the inte currently. I shall just make do with some single-yer games then.¡±

    Since the costs of theptops and games were not included in his overhead cost for the caf¨¦, Zhao Yao bought all of them thetest gamingptops. With its incredible specs, Zhao Yao began his mission.

    ¡°Hmph, let¡¯s start with Dark Souls, Grand Theft Auto, Rise of the Tomb Raider, The Elder Scrolls, Fallout and Resident Evil ...¡± Zhao Yao handpicked his personal favorites and installed them into theputers. Suddenly, a thought crossed his head, ¡°What about the female cats? Will they prefer a more casual game?¡±

    After much deliberation, Zhao Yao downloaded nts vs Zombies, Angry Birds, The Sims and Harvest Moon on theirptops.

    ¡°Battle rapper? Why did it suddenly appear in my suggested games?¡± Zhao Yao re-logged in into his ount and the search engine suggested the same game. Zhao Yao shook his head in disbelief and mumbled, ¡°I guess Baidu has developed some serious misconception about me.¡±

    At the same time, the teenager and middle-aged man had already reached the outskirts of the Vige of Dreams and were currently blocked by the illusion in ce.

    ¡°What do we do now?¡± The teenager asked with his forehead puckered together, ¡°It seems like this ce has been sealed off.¡± In front of them used to be a plot of barrennd. Now, it was reced by a giant rock magically created by the illusion.

    The tattooed man carefully observed the rocks as his fingers traced across the jagged edges. A frown crept up his face as hemented, ¡°There¡¯s something strange with these rocks. It doesn¡¯t seem natural. Everything about it is too uniform.¡±

    Since these rocks were conjured by Zhao Yao using his illusion, there was bound to be imperfections with them. He could not make every single rock unique like how Mother Nature did it.

    Upon closer inspection, the tattooed man realized that the rocks in front of them were like porcin. The patterns and grooves along the rocks repeated itself non-stop.

    He braced himself and started punching against the rocks. The echoes of his punches rumbled through the forest but it was futile. The man gave a dismissive wave of his hand and remarked, ¡°These rocks are really tough. It would be impossible to tear them apart with just the two of us.¡±

    The tattooed man stroked his chin thoughtfully before pressing his ear against the rocks. He seemed extremely adept and serious at what he was doing.

    ¡°So what is it?¡± The teenager asked.

    ¡°Shh.¡± The tattooed man held his finger up his lips to signal the teenager to watch his volume. After a moment of observation, the tattooed man asked, ¡°Listen. Do you hear cats¡¯ meows from behind the rocks?¡±

    ¡°Meows?¡±The teenager instantly pressed his ear against the rocks. Momentster, his eyes sparkled with amazement as he eximed, ¡°Oh my god, there¡¯s really meowsing from the rocks.¡±

    The solemn expression remained on the tattooed man¡¯s face as he nodded his head, ¡°We shall walk one round around the rocks. There are definitely cats hiding behind these rocks. The only cat capable of creating something so mysterious is definitely the cat king.¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, after downloading all the games into the supercats¡¯ptop, Zhao Yao could finally take a break. However, his forehead puckered together when his eyes swept across the caf¨¦, ¡°Where is Matcha?¡±

    As usual, Matcha was skiving inside the cat toilet with two pieces of tissue stuffed up his nostrils. He was beaming from ear to ear as his nimble paws darted across his phone screen.

    Surprisingly, he wasn¡¯t ying Mobile Legends. Instead, he was busy editing a video ¨C his grueling fight against Lion King back in the dugout.

    However, the illusion was no longer visible in the footage captured. Also, the poor lighting inside the dugout had adversely affected the quality of the video. Everything seemed so blurry and you could only spot Matcha running around from time to time. Sometimes, Matcha would be rolling across the ground, tussling with another cat or he would be pping another cat on its face.

    ¡°Hmph, not bad, not bad. This video epitomizes just how much of a man I am.¡± As Matcha continued to appreciate his heroism, he did not forget to include some subtitles.

    During the scene where he pped Airne on his face, a giant ¡®Bam¡¯ word was printed at the bottom.

    Simrly, the words ¡®So Strong¡± were printed at the bottom during the scene when Matcha was stepping on Sausage¡¯s face.

    He finally finished editing the video and decided to gloat to all his friends. He thought, ¡°Hmph, what will be a suitable title for this action-packed movie?¡± Suddenly, excitement shot through him as his paws flew across the screen, ¡°Intense bloodbath between a tiger cat hybrid and a bunch of stray cats¡±.

    After sending the video to all his friends via WeChat, a gleeful smile crept up Matcha¡¯s face as he rolled around withughter. He was eagerly anticipating his friends¡¯ response.

    ¡°Oh no, what if Elizabeth fails to notice this video?¡± Hence, Matcha decided to send her a private message, with the video attached to it.

    Soon enough, an influx ofments swarmed at thement box beneath the video.

    Chubby Luban Assassinmented, ¡°This orange cat is not bad, however, his footwork has quite some room for improvement. He¡¯s nowhere as good as me when I was only six months old.¡±

    Matcha choked with anger when he noticed those insolent words. He eximed, ¡°You stupid rubbish cat!¡±

    However, Matcha¡¯s anger soon subsided as he startedughing all of a sudden, ¡°Heehee, I bet this cat is still crazy over Princess Qian. I¡¯ll just wish him the best of luck in his unrequited love!¡±

    Momentster, a barrage ofments flooded thement box.

    Leopard Headmented, ¡°The five cats are so weak! They don¡¯t even know how to co-operate as a team? They don¡¯t even protect their own bodies when retreating!¡±

    Godly Godmented, ¡°Why does this fat cat look so familiar?¡±

    Leopard headmented, ¡°@Godly God, now that you have mentioned it, I also find this cat rather familiar.¡±

    No.1 Dried Fish Fanmented, ¡°Bite the opponent! Scratch him! How can you win if you fight like this? This is so irritating!¡±

    Matcha¡¯s body locked with range when he sieved through all thements. None of them even mentioned how heroic and strong he was. He eximed, ¡°All this bunch of keyboard warriors! All they know is to meow behind the screen!¡±

    At this moment, the door to the cat toilet mmed open with a deafening bang. A familiar shadow appeared at the doorstep.

    The shadow seemed vicious. ck streams of gas pumped out of his body as the shadow stared right into Matcha¡¯s eyes. Matcha¡¯s chest tightened with fear as apprehension wed through him. He even started peeing uncontrobly.

    ¡°Zhao ... Zhao ... Zhao .. Zhao Yao!¡± Matcha immediately ced his phone on the floor and mustered the most puzzled expression that he knew, ¡°What happened? Why is my phone in my hand? Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, I have totally no memory of what just happened!¡±

    Suddenly, a vein popped across his forehead as Matcha¡¯s forehead furrowed together and whispered, ¡°It¡¯s an ability! A supercat is trying to control my body!¡±

    ¡°The only thing you know is to skive!¡± The familiar red glimmer of light shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes as Matcha fell under his control. Matcha stood up and began licking his groin area. Then, he proceeded out of the toilet with a bounce in his steps.

    ¡°Be serious in your work! If you are crowned the cat star of the month, I¡¯ll arrange a meeting for you to see Diana.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the point of meeting her?¡± Matcha pretended as if he was indifferent to Zhao Yao¡¯s words. Deep down, he thought, ¡°A wise man once said to learn from your mistakes. I, Matcha, have been through so many ups and downs in my life. I have seen all sorts of tricks that humans could possiblye up with. Do you think I have no idea what you are plotting behind my back?¡±

    Zhao Yao was somewhat surprised by Matcha¡¯s behavior. He thought, ¡°Hmm, I didn¡¯t expect Matcha to grow smarter. However, he is still no match for me. He is far too na?ve.¡±

    Zhao Yao bent down and started massaging Matcha¡¯s head. He whispered into his ears, ¡°Matcha, you have to work hard and bring in as much money as possible. If not, how will you be able to marry Diana.¡±

    Matcha folded his arms across his chest and replied nonchntly, ¡°I shall impress her with my true love.¡±

    ¡°True love has no value in today¡¯s world,¡± Zhao Yao announced, ¡°Next time, when you meet your mother-inw, she¡¯ll definitely ask about your upation. You can only say that you work in a caf¨¦. If she asks for the details, what can you say?¡±

    Zhao Yao lifted his shoulder in a half shrug and sighed, ¡°Are you going to tell her that your job is to allow filthy humans to cuddle and touch you?¡±

    ¡°Are you going to tell her that human girls would cradle you in their arms and call you all sorts of nicknames? Do you think the conversation can even continue at this rate?¡±

    Matcha sank his head into his chest and seemed deep in thought.

    ¡°If she¡¯s kind, she might change the topic and ask you about your interests and talents. What are you going to say?¡±

    Matcha jumped to his feet and announced proudly, ¡°Mobile Legends!¡±

    ¡°She¡¯ll definitely ask you about your rank inside the game. What will you say?¡±

    Immediately, Matcha¡¯s feet gave way as he slowly copsed to the cold hard ground.

    ¡°Haish,¡± Zhao Yao shook his head and pinched the bridge of his nose before continuing, ¡°You don¡¯t have a proper job and do not have any talents or specialties. What will you say if she asks about your house? Are you going to mention my apartment? Are you going to tell her that you cohabitate with five other cats? How are you going to reply if she asks about your lives when you get married? Is Diana going to squeeze inside that tiny apartment? I mean they did use to stay in a mansion and have their individual toilets. Now, Diana has to share with six other cats if she marries you. What happens if you give birth to cute little kittens? Are they going to live in that disgusting ce?¡±

    Matcha¡¯s mood plummeted as despair dragged him down to the floor. He couldn¡¯t even raise his tail in the air.

    ¡°No house, no talent, no job. The future seems somewhat bleak. Maybe, she¡¯ll be so kind and give you one final chance. She¡¯ll ask about your background and might potentially ept you if you are a pedigree. Diana and you will give birth to adorable kittens and she can ce her faith in the next generation.¡±

    Suddenly, Matcha cocked his head upwards and was brimming with self-confidence. He announced, ¡°I am a Jiangmen Fold, thest of his kind! After generations and generations, I¡¯m the only one left!¡¯

    ¡°Do you have any birth certificate to proof? Any photos of your parents?¡± Zhao Yao continued bombarding Matcha with questions, ¡°Do you have your grandparents¡¯ photos? Have your ancestors ever taken part in cat beauty contest? Have they won any prizes?¡±

    Against Zhao Yao¡¯s relentless questioning, the self-confidence brimming within Matcha evaporated instantly. With his head buried in his chest, he whispered, ¡°Then what am I supposed to do?¡±

    Zhao Yao gently patted him on the back of his head and replied, ¡°Matcha, you are the eldest cat in my household. Look at your siblings. Roly Poly is too fat. Elizabeth is too proud. Dust Ball is too introverted.I¡¯ll be happy if Mango can even survive with his intellect. Rice Cake is stricken with diseases. Who will inherit the caf¨¦ once I retire?¡±

    ¡°Me?¡± Matcha raised his head as a glimmer of hope shed across his eyes

    ¡°Of course! If Diana asks about you, you can tell her that you are the sessor to a two-stories cat caf¨¦. You have tons of cats and three humans working for you. You have an endless supply of cat food, all imported from overseas.

    I¡¯m sure she¡¯ll stare at you with saliva trickling down her mouth. You will be the best candidate to be her son-inw.¡±

    Match¡¯s eyes remained glued to Zhao Yao as he continued asking, ¡°So what do I have to do?¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°It¡¯s simple. Start by bing the star cat of the month.¡±

    ¡°Time for them to witness the power of my snow-white gloves.¡± Matcha¡¯s forehead puckered together as he stared intently at his paws. Suddenly, he sprang from the table and dashed towards the customers shouting, ¡°I will be the star cat!¡±

    ...

    After a day of hard work, Zhao Yao brought Baiquan, Hanako and the supercats back home.

    Baiquan asked, ¡°Boss, we have run out of rice at home. Would you like some pasta for dinner?¡±

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯m fine with anything.¡± Zhao Yao waved his hand in the air andmented, ¡°Just call me when you are done. I have some work toplete.¡± Hanako threw Zhao Yao a condescending re as she watched him walk towards hisputer.

    Hanako thought, ¡°This stupid fe. He just spends all his time ying his stupidputer games.¡± She then ran into the kitchen and eximed cheerfully, ¡°Baiquan, let me give you a hand.¡±

    Zhao Yao returned to hisputer table and noticed Rice Cake at the table waiting for him. Rice Cake sat there as her body shook with anger. She stared furiously into Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Rice Cake, What happened?¡± Seeing how adorable she looked when she was angry, Zhao Yao could not help but stretched his arm out to give her chubby cheek a pinch.

    However, Rice Cake instantly pped Zhao Yao on his hands and roared, ¡°Zhao Yao, why do you spend so much time outside nowadays? What have you been doing? Do you have cats outside?¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Zhao Yao gave an awkward smile and replied, ¡°Oh is someone dying to y yerUnknown¡¯s Battlegrounds?

    With her high pitched voice, Rice Cake eximed at the top of her lungs, ¡°You don¡¯t say! You set a password on yourputer and I can¡¯t even ess it! You are gone the moment I open my eyes every morning. You are still not back even when I go to bedte at night! You asshole! Is this how you take care of your cat? You should just stay outside and nevere back!¡±

    ¡°Alright, alright¡± Zhao Yao carried her into his arms and cradled Rice Cake like a baby. Heforted her by saying, ¡°I¡¯ll y with you now, okay?¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡± Rice Cake¡¯s initial fury evaporated instantly and was beaming from to ear as she eximed, ¡°Remember to give me the 98k if you find it!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Zhao Yao replied as he started giving her a gentle massage on her neck.

    Rice Cake tried her best to resist but eventually inched her neck forward to enjoy this soothing sensation.

    After cuddling with Rice Cake, Zhao Yao decided to get into action and prepared himself for the game while Baiquan was busy preparing dinner.

    After dinner, Zhao Yaoyfortably on the couch with a contented smile stered on his face. He eximed, ¡°Baiquan, I want sirloin steak for dinner tomorrow!¡±

    ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll just go down to the market tomorrow and get some fresh ingredients!¡±

    Meanwhile, Hanako was busy clearing up the utensils after their dinner. She shot a condescending re at Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, aren¡¯t youing over to help clean the table?¡±

    Zhao Yao simply gave a dismissive wave of his hand in the air and replied,¡±Which boss would clean up after themselves? That¡¯s what his employees are for. I just need the two of you to help me clean up. Lying on the couch after a satisfying meal is what a boss does. Baiquan, I¡¯ll transfer some money over to you. Remember to get some premium sirloin steak.¡±

    Since the value in his bank ount skyrocketed, Zhao Yao had been rather extravagant in his daily expenses since it would not affect his monthly mission.

    Hanako curled her lips in disgust andmented, ¡°But you¡¯ll grow fat at this rate.¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I have superpower in my body which makes it impossible for me to grow fat.¡±

    Baiquan let out an awkwardugh and patted Hanako on her shoulders, ¡°It¡¯s alright Hanako, you can go and rest too. I can manage this on my own.¡±

    Hanako took a step towards Baiquan and whispered into his ears, ¡°I have never seen such a shameless person in my life.¡±

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao¡¯s ears began to quiver as he eximed, ¡°I can hear everything that you just said!¡±

    Hanako just turned around and stuck her tongue out at Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s temporary peace lying on the couch was disrupted when Mango came crashing into his body. Zhao Yao took a nce at Mango and asked, ¡°Hmph, I hope you¡¯re not smelly.¡±

    Zhao Yao carried Mango at arm¡¯s length and started sniffing him from head to toe. Luckily, Mango¡¯s body did not emanate his usual stench. Only then did Zhao Yao allow him to rest on his chest.

    Mango snuggled into his arms and growledfortably as Zhao Yao¡¯s fingers ran through his fur. Meanwhile, Zhao Yao was swiping across his news feed in WeChat.

    The photo at the top of his news feed was a selfie taken by Elizabeth. It was not your usual selfie. Elizabeth stared at the ongoing traffic with a pair of longing eyes which somehow brought out mncholy vibes. Her eyes were like a pair of sapphire that had been jaded by the cruel reality of life which only further intensified the overall sadness portrayed.

    Zhao Yao scrolled down to take a look at thements.

    The World¡¯s Strongestmented, ¡°How did you manage to take such a unique selfie? I tried to bend my arms at every possible angle but I just cannot replicate your photo. The backdrop is not bad but the cat inside is at most average.¡±

    Lizzie replied, ¡°Get lost.¡±

    Chubby Luban Assasinmented, ¡°Lizzie, don¡¯t care about him. Remember to invite me if for your future photo shoots. I have a 20 megapixels camera phone and I am an expert at portrait photography. Furthermore, I can take any kind of photos regardless of howplex the angling is.¡±

    Godly Godmented, ¡°@Chubby Luban Assassin, can you help me take a portrait photo? Make me look as fierce and cool as a lion!¡±

    Chubby Luban Assassin replied, ¡°Just get lost.¡±

    Bored from their squabbles, Zhao Yao tapped on the notification on the group chat and realized that the cats were discussing the Cat Kingpetition.

    Godly God typed, ¡°I have sessfully earned the title of Bai Yun Cat King. I¡¯m all ready for thepetition!¡±

    No.1 Dried Fish Fan replied, ¡°I am also a cat king. Please don¡¯t go all out against me if we meet in thepetition.¡±

    Leopard Head replied, ¡°What the f*ck? When did all of you be cat kings yourself? Are you guys nning to win thepetition?¡±

    Chubby Luban Assasin typed, ¡°Stop fighting your useless battles. There can only be one cat king and that would be my boss, King Hanada.¡±

    ¡°King Hanada?¡± Omnipresent finally participated in the group¡¯s discussion and typed, ¡°Isn¡¯t King Hanada Scar Eye? I mean he is strong but I don¡¯t think he is strong enough to be the cat king of the entire Jiangmen city.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, Scar Eye is already a thing of the past.¡± The fatso continued boasting, ¡°Now my boss is King Hanada. His power is @5n21)(7:sdaww¡±

    Leopard Head replied, ¡°What the f*ck are you trying to say?¡±

    No.1 Dried Fish Fan replied, ¡°I¡¯m sure someone snatched the phone away from him.¡±

    Godly God typed, ¡°I don¡¯t care. I am bent on winning thepetition and getting crowned as Cat King of Jiangmen city. Once I earn my title, I will impose a rule and make it mandatory for all female cats to shave their butt.¡±

    Leopard Head replied, ¡°I concur! I support Godly God¡¯s im as the Cat King of Jiangmen city!¡±

    Godly God replied with an emoji and typed, ¡°The presence of butt fur had hindered the progress of the cat civilization! This is a problem that would affect the prosperity of our great civilization! I will never shun away from this problem!¡±

    No.1 Dried Fish Fan replied with a sweating emoji.

    Sweetie Pie typed, ¡°Oh my god, they are so disgusting and crude. Lizzie, let¡¯s just leave this group.¡±

    Meow Gibson, the admin of the group, could no longer allow this nonsense as he took a step forward and replied, ¡°@Godly God, you are not allowed to spout nonsense in this group. I will have removed if your message contains too much sexual content.¡±

    Godly God replied, ¡°What are you so afraid of? You are just a cat.¡±

    ¡°Of course I¡¯m afraid. In this day and age, cats can be captured and punished for anything that we do. Haven¡¯t you heard of the story about the cat who tried to drive a car? Apparently, someone exposed him and now he is caught!¡±

    The group finally quietened down after Meow Gibson shared such a traumatizing story. However, the silence was temporary as Zhao Yao typed, ¡°Anyone knows the rules for this Cat Kingpetition?¡±

    Omnipresent instantly replied, ¡°I heard the entire city is split into 32 sectors. There is approximately the same number of cat kings within each sector. The cat kings within their individual sector would battle against each other one on one and thest one standing would represent their sector in the final 32.¡±

    Zhao Yao was taken aback by how well-informed this cat was. He thought, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me this cat is the one responsible for thispetition?¡± He continued by typing, ¡°Do you have any idea when thepetition is going to start?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I heard that an adorable cat would go around the entire city informing all the cat kings. However, there are still many internal squabbles and many districts have yet to choose their own cat kings. I think it would take at least a month before thepetitionmences. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that you actually referred to yourself as an adorable cat.¡± However, Zhao Yao was not so silly as to expose him to the group.

    After a long day of eating, drinking and resting, it was finally time for Zhao Yao to return to his bedroom and start his daily superpower training.

    Even though had had an advantage over other apostles with his BOOK, he understood that the key determining factor in all battles lied in how you used your power but not how strong your power was. Hence, he would dedicate a portion of his time before sleeping to hone his skills. This ensured that he was always ready for any fights.

    Zhao Yao found this training extremely important after encountering more and more supercats. The society and world atrge had changed radically and the only way to stay ahead was to constantly improve yourself.

    ¡°First up, it¡¯s time freeze ...¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead furrowed slightly and his body instantly teleported to a spot 0.5 meters away.

    Next, Zhao Yao¡¯s body began darting across the entire room, leaving behind only his afterimages. His speed was unparalleled and normal people could only see the shadows he left behind.

    After a round of warm-up, Zhao Yao moved on to the real training. With a high-speed camera pointing at himself, he proceeded to the kitchen with a vegetable knife in his hand.

    Even though Zhao Yao had passed on his duties of preparing cat rice to Baiquan, he decided to help prepare the ingredients since he was going to practice his time freeze ability anyway.

    He raised the knife in the air as his body gave a sudden and violent shudder. Immediately, a series of deafening explosions erupted in the air and the beef had been cut into 50 thin pieces, of equal thickness.

    He only managed to achieve this with his power from ¡°Three is better than two¡± and time freeze. When time was at a standstill, every movement that he made produced a force that ordinary people could only dream of.

    If he had used the power to produce a punch instead of cutting beef, even Mike Tyson might not be able to remain standing within the boxing ring. He would most likely have been knocked out by the impact.

    His body would disappear before reappearing at the same spot almost instantly. Every time he appeared, a thunderous boom would explode in the air. His knife would always remain in the same position whenever he re-appeared. This repeated for at least two times. At the end of it, the b of beef had already been cut into 200 identical pieces.

    Evidently, he had been using the knife during the time freeze to achieve this result.

    After more than half an hour of non-stop practice, Zhao Yao finally took a break as he started reviewing the footage stored in the camera.

    Naturally, the camera failed to capture the footage during the time freeze. However, the video managed to record the time interval every time his body shuddered. This interval was the time taken for him to slice the b of beef into pieces.

    ¡°A human¡¯s natural reaction time is about 0.2 seconds. However, with ¡®Three is better than two¡¯, I¡¯m sure I can further shorten the time.¡±

    What Zhao Yao was trying to perfect was his grasp over his time freeze abilities. He wanted to achieve andplete a specific task within a shorter time. By using his ability for a shorter time, the cooldown for it would consequently decrease as well. This would make him less susceptible to any counter-attacks.

    Currently, he wielded four different powers. Illusion¡¯s power was dependent on his creativity and energy. Meanwhile, extra-dimensional belly was more of a passive skill which provided him hisst line of defense. Both these powers could not be improved by simply practicing.

    Hence, he could only work on timefreeze and his deflective field in order to increase his overallbat powers.

    By keeping the time he activated his power to a minimum, he could ensure that he was not constrained by the ability¡¯s cooldown.

    Throughout this process, he had also acquired a greater precision over his control of time freeze¡¯s duration. This enabled him to better control the tempo during the fight.

    With the passive effects of ¡®Three is better than two¡¯ and Celestial Beats kicking in, Zhao Yao¡¯s body condition and physical strength had gradually increased without him knowing. Hence, by incorporating the use of a knife in his practice, it gave Zhao Yao an opportunity to adjust to his new strength and agility.

    After one and a half hour of training, all the ingredients had already been prepared and poured into a pot. Zhao Yao kept the pot inside the fridge, allowing Baiquan to use it tomorrow morning.

    Zhao Yao finally heaved a sigh of relief as his body copsed on the couch. However, he noticed that he was already drenched in sweat from the training and decided to take a shower. Even with the effects of¡±Three is better than two¡¯ and Celestial Beats, Zhao Yao was still overwhelmed by the fatigue from the training.

    A thought sprang in his head while he showered, ¡°Speaking of cat rice, I have not improved the recipe for a long time. I mean I did try to use better ingredients and all the rmended recipes online but it didn¡¯t work. Is it time to try using a superpower?¡±

    Actually, Zhao Yao was still rather concerned with the grade of his cat rice. Now, all his supercats were either level four or five and they required a huge amount of experience points to level up. Currently, the Michelin cat rice which gave 10*2 experience points per meal simply wasn¡¯t enough.

    After his shower, Zhao Yao returned to his bedroom and was greeted with the sight of Matcha lying on the bed with a phone in his face. Zhao Yao nced at him and whispered, ¡°Don¡¯t stay up toote.¡±

    ¡°I know,¡± Matcha replied, ¡°I¡¯ll go to bed after thisst match.¡±

    Zhao Yao could only shake his head at Matcha¡¯s response as hemenced his training using the deflective field.

    Unlike his training with time freeze, Zhao Yao simply sat on the edge of his bed. He raised his right fist in the air before slowly unclenching it. Immediately, an invisible force erupted from his palm and morphed into an invisible sword.

    With his ability, Zhao Yao could turn this force field into anything he desired. He could turn it into a shield, hammer, spear or even a Gundam. However, Zhao Yao still found the sword design the coolest.

    ¡°Heehee, maybe I can even turn them into sword aura ...¡± With a flick of his finger, invisible ripples emerged at the tip of Zhao Yao¡¯s finger. The ripples merged to form a long sword aura which darted forward at an incredible speed before returning to his fingertips.

    The bedroom was flooded with all sorts of wheezing sound as the deflective field collided against the air particles at warp speed. Matcha¡¯s ears moved as he detected the noise andined, ¡°Zhao Yao, can you please be more careful? You have shattered so many light bulbs over the past few days. You are going to affect my gamey.¡±

    Zhao Yao was indifferent to Matcha¡¯sint and sent his feet straight into Matcha¡¯s belly. Zhao Yao sniggered, ¡°Aren¡¯t you a cat? When did cats develop a fear of the dark?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not scared! But how am I supposed to y the game with the lights flickering? It¡¯s so distracting!¡±

    ¡°Stopining and focus on your game!¡±

    Matcha bit on his lower lip and quivered with anger. He thought, ¡°Hmph, old man, don¡¯t be too cocky. When the dayes, I¡¯ll inherit this apartment and the caf¨¦. I can kick you out of this ce if I feel like it. I¡¯ll have the apartment to myself with Diana by my side watching me y Mobile Legends. Meowhahaha.¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao resumed his training using the deflective field. The invisible forced had merged into a sword again as it whizzed across the bedroom, producing a deafening sound.

    ¡°Now, it¡¯s time for my next attack, sword aura!¡± Instantly, the ripples merged into sword aura as they shot out of his fingertips. One by one, sword aura started shooting out of his fingertips. Soon, there were seven of it circling his bedroom at full speed.

    When Zhao Yao tried to release one more sword aura, the first sword aura created instantly vaporized into thin air.

    ¡°Hmph, I guess all my abilities have their limits as well. I can mold my deflective field and emte the effects of sword aura. However, my current ability only allows me to control seven sword auras simultaneously.¡± However, Zhao Yao was not worried. Instead, he began to control the seven sword auras simultaneously as they ran across the rooms in all directions, indifferent to the effects of gravity.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lids grew heavier and heavier as training continued. After more than one hour of training, Zhao Yao could not take it any longer. He lowered his head only to see Matcha¡¯s phone glued to his face. Anger seared through Zhao Yao as he eximed, ¡°Why are you still ying at this time? Don¡¯t you have to work tomorrow?¡±

    ¡°Wait, wait.¡± Matcha did not even bother looking at Zhao Yao when he replied but remained engrossed in his game. He continued, ¡°I¡¯ll sleep right after this game, okay?¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head helplessly. He paid a visit to the extradimensional belly but realized that all the cats had not returned. Zhao Yao¡¯s mood plummeted when he realized that this bunch of stray cats which he tried to lure usingputer games had not fallen into his trap. Meanwhile, it was his own Matcha who was addicted to it.

    ¡°These upgrades are taking too much time since the cats require more and more experience points.¡± Zhao Yao flipped through the different pages of his BOOK and couldn¡¯t fall asleep with these thoughts lingering in his head. Hence, he whipped out his phone and decided to give Inspector Ho a call, ¡°Hey, Inspector Ho, is something troubling you?¡±

    ¡°?¡±

    ¡°Do you need my help?¡±

    ¡°Is that your reason for calling me at this oundish timing of 1 am? Do you know how deprived of sleep I am?¡±

    Zhao Yao propped his chin on his palm and replied, ¡°Hey, I¡¯m reminding you to go for your toilet break. For people of your age, it¡¯s not advisable to hold in your pee. You should visit the toilet at least twice throughout the night.¡±

    ¡°Oh my god, f*ck you ...¡±

    ¡°Alright, alright, you don¡¯t have to thank me. Remember to contact me if you need help with anything.¡± Zhao Yao shook his head and ced his phone on his bedside. He thought, ¡°I guess Inspector Ho has yet to receive a new mission.¡± He heaved a long sigh before returning to his bed. Somehow, he managed to sleep the moment he shut his eyes.

    ..

    At 4.30am, when most ordinary humans are still sleeping, four shadows stood outside Zhao Yao¡¯s apartment. They were on the balcony, door and the windows.

    ¡°In position.¡±

    ¡°In position.¡±

    ¡°In position.¡±

    ¡°Go.¡±

    Following thest instruction, the four intruders broke into Zhao Yao¡¯s apartment simultaneously as they slowly crept inside. The four pairs of eyes carefully swept across the apartment.

    Elizabeth¡¯s ears shook when the intruders weremunicating among themselves. However, it did not seem like she was about to wake up anytime soon.

    Mango immediately cocked his head upwards, as he stared curiously at the shadow standing at the windows.

    Rice Cake was oblivious to their actions. She simply turned her body around and continued snoring.

    However, Zhao Yao instantly opened his eyes. With his astute observation skills granted by ¡°Three is better than two¡±, Zhao Yao had already detected the intruders¡¯ presence when they were standing outside his apartment.

    However, he spent the next second convincing himself to open his eyes because of howzy he was.

    Next, he spent another second to struggle out of bed.

    While he was struggling to open his eyes, his vision was flooded by bright light emanating from Matcha¡¯s screen. Rage seared through Zhao Yao as he kicked Matcha off the bed, leaving the cat shrilling in pain.

    Inside the living room, the four intruders in ck heard the ear-splitting shriek and instantly froze in their position. Cold sweat beaded their foreheads as their body shook like a leaf.

    ¡°What¡¯s the situation? Is someone awake?¡±

    ¡°Be careful, just knock him out with this if you see anyone awake.¡± One of the men said while raising a taser in his hand.

    ¡°Remember, do not kill anyone. We are only here for Hanako, our mission is to capture her, not kill any innocent civilians.¡±

    ¡°Why are you so worried? It¡¯s just an ordinary caf¨¦ owner.¡± A man sniggered as he tried his best to suppress hisughter.

    ¡°Do not be over-confident. We had already lost contact with Shuichi. This person might be the reason for his disappearance.¡±

    The entire discussion conversed in Japanese.

    Finally, the silence was shattered by a loud bang as Zhao Yao¡¯s bedroom door mmed open. Zhao Yao stood at the door with his temples throbbing with rage as anger seared through him.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s hair was a mess as he stared at the four Japanese with anger shooting out of his eyes.

    ¡°Do you understand how irritating it is to be disturbed in the middle of the god d*mn night?¡±

 Chapter 235: The Fight and the Mission

    <h4>Chapter 235: The Fight and the Mission</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Immediately, the group of four Japanese had reacted to Zhao Yao¡¯s unexpected appearance.

    ¡°Hi.¡±

    Following their seemingly polite greeting, their four bodies converged towards Zhao Yao¡¯s position in the blink of an eye. The tasers in their hands were like poisonous serpents surging towards Zhao Yao from all angles, sealing him of any possible escape.

    However, Zhao Yao had no intentions of escaping.

    ¡°Get lost!¡± Zhao Yao raised his hand in the air as the words erupted in their ears. Four t sword auras sprang out of Zhao Yao¡¯s palm and mmed themselves into the Japanese¡¯s bodies, sending them flying off.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s temple was at an all-time worst because of these unwee visitors arriving at this hour. However, he managed to reign in his anger and chose to release t sword aura instead of the normal sword aura which would have killed them.

    The four Japanese copsed to the ground as they struggled to breathe normally. With their palms clutched against their chests, they felt as if they had been struck by a giant hammer and were on the verge of suffocating.

    However, one of them gritted his teeth and endured the head-splitting pain as he struggled to his feet and dashed forward.

    However, Zhao Yao was shocked by his behavior as he pounced towards the shadows lying on the ground instead of Zhao Yao. Then, the magical thing appeared. Somehow, the Japanese morphed into a pool of ck fluid and merged with the shadow resting on the ground. Next, he crawled out of Zhao Yao¡¯s shadow and appeared next to him instantly, thrusting the taser into Zhao Yao¡¯s chest.

    ¡°You think you¡¯re so cool with your superpower?¡± Zhao Yao didn¡¯t even bother turning his head around as a t sword aura emerged from his back and mmed across the man¡¯s belly. The impact lifted the Japanese man off the ground his body crushed against the wall. His body slowly slid to the ground, leaving him writhing in pain.

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes when he noticed the remaining three Japanese struggling to their feet. He raised his hands in the air before balling them into a fist. The deflective field grabbed the water out from the kettle and transformed them into water swords by contracting them at high pressure. The water swords darted across the room and stopped inches away from the Japanese¡¯s chests.

    With the ice effects in ce, the four water swords started emanating a vicious aura which sent cold chills down their spines. The water sword¡¯s new ice cold appearance caused their chests to tighten with fear.

    At this moment, the water swords inched forward and pressed against their chests with their sharp ends. The four Japanese froze on the stop and dared not to move a single inch.

    Finally, Zhao Yao let out a loud yawn as he stared at the four Japanese standing opposite him and asked, ¡°Why did you choose toe at this time? Don¡¯t you guys need to sleep as well?¡±

    The Japanese with the shadow abilities was stunned by Zhao Yao¡¯s words. He had never expected such a response from him. However, he immediately regained his consciousness and struggled to converse using his poor Mandarin, ¡°Apostle, are you the one who defeated Shuichi and took Hanako away?¡±

    ¡°Oh, you guys are here for Hanako?¡± Zhao Yao let out another loud yawn and started rubbing his eyes nonchntly. It finally dawned on him that he still had a mission to protect Hanako. He had never expected the Japanese side to send their men over here.

    The shadow man simply muttered, ¡°You will not be able to escape after kidnapping a member of the Kujyo household, even if you are an apostle. An endless stream of people woulde knocking at your door, demanding for Hanoko.¡±

    Suddenly, Hanako¡¯s bedroom door swung open. Apparently, she was awakened by themotion during the fight. Meanwhile, Baiquan was still lying on his bed, listening to the soothing music sting out of his headphones.

    Hanako took a nce at the man in ck lying on the floor and eximed, ¡°Are ... Are you Hidekazu Sato?¡±

    ¡°Miss. Hanako!¡± Suddenly, the man¡¯s, who was referred to as Hidekazu Sato, eyes brightened with excitement as he eximed, ¡°You are really here! Your brother has already sent men all across China to search for you. Why aren¡¯t you going back?¡±

    Hanako replied, ¡°If you want me to return, you could have done so with just a phone call. You don¡¯t need to send men here to hunt for me.¡± Then, she cocked her head towards Zhao Yao and exined the situation, ¡°Zhao Yao, this is Hidekazu Sato, the number one fighter in Storm Organization. I heard that he learned his sword techniques from the legends, Yagyu and Hoshino.

    When I was young, I heard from my father that many of Storm Organization¡¯s arch-nemesis had gone missing because of this man right here. He is vicious.¡±

    Zhao Yao turned his head back to Sato and noticed him staring at him. Anger seared through Zhao Yao as he exploded with fury, ¡°Are you crazy? Intruding private property at this hour?¡± Zhao Yao instantly raised his hand and clenched them together. The tasers lying on the ground levitated into the air and flew towards Sato at an incredible speed.

    Sato crumbled to the floor and began shuddering violently as the room was nketed by a chilling whizzing sound.

    Zhao Yao threw a death re at the remaining people and instructed, ¡°The three of you! Go over to the shoe cab and put on the shoe covers. I want you to clean up the entire ce.¡±

    The three Japanese nced at Sato who was lying helplessly on the ground before ncing at one another. It was impossible for them to defeat Zhao Yao nor was it possible for them to escape. Hence, they could onlyply with his instructions obediently.

    Zhao Yao slid Sato a nce but his eyes instantly glittered with excitement when Zhao Yao noticed the golden exmation mark floating above Sato¡¯s face.

    ¡°You Japanese really love to trouble others.¡± Despite what he said, a giant smile was stered across Zhao Yao¡¯s face. He slowly walked towards Sato and asked, ¡°Mr. Sato is there anything that I can help you with?¡±

    Hanako recognized this familiar scene and immediately took a few steps back in fear. She whispered into Sato¡¯s ears, ¡°I suggest that you co-operate with him.¡±

    However, as a true Japanese swordsman, Sato would never sumb to threats. He announced, ¡°It¡¯s useless! I¡¯ll not give in no matter ...¡±

    Before he could evenplete his statement, Zhao Yao had already started jabbing him with the taser. However, his smile evaporated when Sato¡¯s body began shaking violently.

    Following the jabs, the golden exmation mark had disappeared.

    ¡°F*ck, what the hell is going on?¡± Zhao Yao lowered his head and noticed Sato staring at him with his body trembling with fury, or possibly excessive current. Zhao Yao simply picked the taser from the ground and continued jabbing him. His body¡¯s vibration intensified as the anger disappeared from his eyes and was reced with agony. Suddenly, the golden exmation mark appeared again.

    Zhao Yao stared at that flickering exmation mark and could not help but muttered, ¡°Why does this guy change his mind so often? Is he a woman?¡±

    He lowered his head and tried speaking in his most patient tone, ¡°How is it? Do you need my help with anything at all? Do not be shy and just speak up. I can¡¯t help you if you keep your mouth shut.¡±

    ¡°Let ... Let ... Let ... Let ...¡±

    Zhao Yao cocked his head towards his BOOK and noticed a new mission appearing on one of the pages.

    Mission: Let go of the taser!¡±

    Objective: Let go of the taser.

    Reward: 10 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    Zhao Yao took a nce at Sato¡¯s belly and noticed the taser was still pressed against him. An awkward smile crept up his face as Zhao Yao instantly dropped the taser to the ground, ¡°I¡¯m so sorry. I forgot to take that away.¡±

    Immediately, Zhao Yao had earned 10*2 experience points.

    Sato¡¯s body shook with fear as he continued death-ring Zhao Yao. However, he suddenly noticed a devious smile on Zhao Yao¡¯s face and heard a whisper, ¡°Let¡¯s try it again.¡±

    ¡°Let ... Let ... Let ... Let ... Let ...¡±

    Zhao Yao burst intoughter when he noticed his favorite punctuation, ¡°You are such a genius!¡± Zhao Yao then removed the taser from his belly.

    10*2 experience points earned.

    The entire process repeated again. The anger surging through Sato¡¯s body was interrupted by the taser¡¯s electric shock which caused his body to shake violently.

    When Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes met with Sato¡¯s eyes, he mercilessly pressed the taser against his chest once again. However, no current flowed out of theser this time around.

    A look of disappointment crept up Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he stared at the taser in disbelief, ¡°Out of battery already?¡±

    Sato heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Zhao Yao¡¯s words but the temporary peace ended swiftly when he saw three other tasers levitating in the air.

    He immediately spilled out all the information as his body continued to shiver from the ordeal, ¡°We did not bring the supercats along. The Japanese side already had their eyes on you for a long time. We borrowed the power before taking the flight here. Our original n was to return to Japan immediately after weplete this mission.¡±

    Because of the earlier incident involved Mami¡¯s supercat, Chimera, the Japanese no longer risked sending the supercats over.

    Hence, they decided to deploy a less valuable asset ¨C apostles. They would borrow the power before they board the ne and return to Japan at the end of the mission.

    The flight from Jiangmen city to Tokyo only took 2 hours. Even after factoring in the time taken for possible flight dys or customs check, the entire trip would take less than six hours. The remaining 18 hours was more than enough for the apostles to locate their targets and if need be, act on it. This would prevent the Japanese side from losing their supercats.

    However, Zhao Yao seemed oblivious to Sato¡¯s response. He held his new ¡®ammo¡¯ excitedly in his hands and started jabbing at Sato non-stop.

    After 10 minutes of incessant stabbing, Hanako could no longer put up with Zhao Yao¡¯s deranged behavior and shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao! He will really faint if you continue doing this!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s smile did not even leave his face as he took a look at Sato¡¯s face. Sato struggled to open his eyes and his skin was as pale as paper. Zhao Yao simplymented, ¡°Yes, I cannot afford to kill him.¡± This was the first time he had met such a situation.

    Initially, he already had an inkling as to how his BOOK worked. At first, he thought the missions were basically a reflection of the thoughts in his head. Experience points would be earned whenever he managed toplete the missions which he had thought of.

    However, after joining Inspector Ho, he was able to help others fulfill the wishes in their heads. This allowed him to umte experience points from more individuals.

    Zhao Yao had no idea but by staring at Sato, who was shuddering on the floor, he had guessed that certain people were more prone to offer him missions. This was possibly due to their nature to easily ask others for help. Or maybe it stemmed from theirck of determination or maybe they simply liked to ask others for help.

    There were too many variables in this problem and Zhao Yao had no time to dissect it and obtain an answer. Regardless of the reasons, there was nothing stopping Zhao Yao from umting more experience points from him.

    Within just 10 minutes, Zhao Yao had managed toplete six missions by electrocuting Sato. This head earned Zhao Yao 60*2 experience points.

    In Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes, Sato was no longer a revered and feared swordsman. He was simply a treasure chest.

    Sato¡¯s expression seemed devoid of any spirit as he struggled to crawl towards Zhao Yao and muttered, ¡°Water ... water...¡±

    Hanako quickly replied, ¡°I¡±ll go get him a ss of water.¡±

    ¡°No, no, no. Let me do it. He came all the way from Japan to pay me a visit. I must treat him like an honored guest.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes gravitated upwards and noticed the shining exmation mark floating at the same spot. Zhao Yao¡¯s mouth curled into a smile as he spoke, ¡°Please treat me like your friend. If you have any requests, feel free to tell me.¡±

    Sato almost threw up blood when he heard Zhao Yao¡¯s balderdash. If not for Zhao Yao, Sato would not have been trembling on the floor.

    Zhao Yao simply raised his hand in the air as a cup filled with water floated to him. He then slowly fed Sato the water.

    Sato gazed longingly at the cup of water and craned his neck forward to take a sip. The mission waspleted the moment his lips made contact with the water. Zhao Yao instantly retracted the cup from Sato.

    10*2 experience points earned.

    Immediately, the golden exmation mark re-appeared at the top of Sato¡¯s head. Zhao Yao stared at Sato with a beaming smile and asked, ¡°Would you like some water?¡±

    Sato¡¯s temple throbbed with rage as he thought that Zhao Yao was simply doing this to ridicule him.

    However, Sato could not resist the temptation when he stared at the water in his face before nodding his head.

    Zhao Yao epted the mission once again and ced the tip of the cup against Sato¡¯s lips.

    The same thing repeated again. Zhao Yao immediately retracted his arm after Sato¡¯s lips managed to touch just a few drops of water.

    10*2 experience points earned.

    Anger swept over Sato as he burst out screaming, ¡°What do you want from me?¡±

    Zhao Yao was unfazed by his outburst and exined matter-of-factly, ¡°An injured person should not ingest too much water at one go. It¡¯s bad for your organs.¡± The smile returned to Zhao Yao¡¯s face when he noticed the shiny and golden object above Sato¡¯s¡¯ head.

    Mission: Replenish water.

    Objective: Allow Sato to finish the entire cup of water.

    Reward: 20 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    Zhao Yao did not hesitate even a second as he epted the mission. Sato, who was on the verge of death from a myriad of reasons, whispered, ¡°Can I finally drink the water?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± This time around, Zhao Yao did not retract his arms but allowed him to finish the entire cup peacefully.

    However, Sato had already quenched his thirst after a few sips but noticed Zhao Yao¡¯s stare which caused his chest to tighten with fear. Sato asked, ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°You are injured. Hence, you need to drink more water.¡±

    A vein popped across his forehead as his brain exploded with fury. Initially, Zhao Yao forbade him to drink. Now, he forced him to drink beyond his limit. Sato struggled to reply, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I don¡¯t need any more water.¡±

    ¡°No, your body needs more water. Come, listen to the doctor.¡± Zhao Yao said sternly. Zhao Yao rested his right palm on Sato¡¯s forehead and pressed it down regardless of how Sato struggled. With the cup in his left hand, he simply shoved the entire cup of water down his throat. This left Sato coughing and choking from the water as saliva tricked from the corner of his lips.

    This earned Zhao Yao another 20*2 experience points.

    Hanako¡¯s face turned green when she observed Zhao Yao¡¯s insane behavior. She thought, ¡°This is bad, very bad. Why do I feel that this guy has gone crazier than before?¡±

    However, no matter how hard Zhao Yao tried, he could no longer earn any more experience points from Sato.

    Hence, his eyes swept across the room and stopped at the remaining three Japanese.

    When their eyes met with Zhao Yao¡¯s cold and frightening re, their bodies started shivering violently.

    ¡°Let ... Let ... Let ...¡±

    ¡°Let ... Let ... Let ...¡±

    ¡°Let ... Let ... Let ...¡±

    Zhao Yao gave a half shrug of his shoulders when he watched the three bloke copse to the floor, convulsing from the pain. Zhao Yaomented, ¡°You Japanese are really too polite. If you need any help, just feel free to tell me. How do you expect me to help if you keep your mouth shut?¡±

    Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of despair after confirming that he could no longer earn any experience points from them, ¡°Actually, this group of people and Shuichi are both Japanese. Does that mean that Japanese can give me more missions?¡± Suddenly, Zhao Yao¡¯s deathly re gravitated towards Hanako.

    Hanako was taken aback and instantly jumped backward. She struggled to speak, ¡°What... What do you want? You promised to protect me! Lightning! Come and protect me!¡±

    The Pas¡¯s cat was observing the entire incident and was hiding underneath the couch with his body shaking like a leaf.

    Actually, Zhao Yao merely nced at Hanako. He had no intention of electrocuting her. After realizing that there were no missions left, he whipped out his phone and gave Inspector Ho a call.

    However, it took at least five minutes of calling before Inspector Ho finally picked up the phone.

    Inspector Ho calmed himself down and spoke in his most rxed tone, ¡°Zhao Yao, it¡¯s currently 5.30am. I have just gone for my toilet break. Thank you for your reminder.¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be awake at this hour. We definitely share a special affinity between us.¡±

    ¡°F*ck you! I¡¯m awake because of your bloody phone call!¡±

    After exining to Inspector Ho, he finally dispatched his subordinates down to Zhao Yao¡¯s apartment in order to bring the Japanese back for questioning.

    The person who came down was Lin Chen. He was brimming with energy but seemed somewhat edgy as he constantly nced at his watch.

    ¡°Alright, is it just the four of them?¡± Lin Chen asked as he began putting on the handcuffs on them.

    When the Japanese saw Lin Chening for them, it was as good as seeing a long lost rtive as tears welled up in their eyes. However, just when they were about to escape this hell hole, Zhao Yao stopped them at the door. Terror shed in their eyes instantly.

    ¡°Wait a moment,¡± Naturally, Zhao Yao had already recognized Lin Chen. They had met several times during the cases involving the killer cat and the KFC incident. However, Lin Chen had no idea that Zhao Yao was the one behind them.

    ¡°What is it? Can you hurry up?¡± Lin Chen nced at his watch restlessly and grumbled, ¡°I paused my DOTA game toe here. My teammates are still waiting for me to return and continue the game.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Zhao Yao instantly slid Lin Chen a condescending re. Zhao Yao had no idea that the quality of our government officials had slumped to such a level.

    Hanako was hiding in her bedroom as she observed the handing over of the trespassers. She thought, ¡°Are all Chinese men so addicted toputer games?¡±

    Even though mes of anger shot through Zhao Yao¡¯s body, he still spoke in his most polite tone, ¡°Officer, could you kindly leave behind your handphone number?¡±

    ¡°Why? Do you not trust me?¡± Lin Chen asked as his right eyebrow shot up.

    Zhao Yao tried his best to suppress his anger and forced the most amiable smile he was capable of before exining, ¡°No, I just found this group of Japanese so warm and friendly as if they were my long lost friends. They have no friends in China so I hope you can contact me when they are released so that I can fetch them.¡±

    Zhao Yao still held out hope that Sato would have further requests that Zhao Yao could help out with when he was released. Maybe there was also a cooldown time for these missions and the exmation mark would return by the time they are released.

    ¡°Oh,¡± Lin Chen shot a suspicious re at Zhao Yao and found his behavior extremely strange. However, he still whipped out his phone and said, ¡°How about you just give me your number. I¡¯ll call you when they are released.¡±

    ¡°No!¡± Sato eximed even before Zhao Yao managed to answer. With his body trembling in fear, he looked earnestly towards Lin Chen and exined, ¡°Sir, do not trust him. This guy is psychopathic. He is only doing this to torture us.¡± The other three nodded their head violently in response. The past hour had them experienced a form of torture which they had never imagined possible.

    ¡°Stop making so much noise! You will exin the entire incident to me when we get back!¡± Lin Chen turned a deaf ear to their pleas and started exchanging number with Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao beamed from ear to ear after sending Lin Chen off. He thought, ¡°Even though I might not be able to upgrade my cat rice, I can use such opportunities to earn more experience points! I must find a pattern to understand how these missions appear.¡±

    With the delightful thought at the back of his head, he looked towards Hanako and asked, ¡°Hanako, do you know of any Japanese international students?¡±

    Hanako¡¯s body started trembling as Zhao Yao¡¯s voice rang in her head. Somehow, she felt a cold chill down her spine.

    ...

    Within the dugout, the tattooed man stumbled along as he tried to escape with the teenager thrown across his back.

    He was ovee with excitement and shock when memories of their adventure in the dugout flooded his head.

    Initially, they came out in search of supercats. After realizing that the rocks were simply an obstacle, they circumvented it in an attempt to find an entrance. However, their efforts were in vain.

    Suddenly, they heard cat meowsing from the other end of the cluster of rocks. Then, they found themselves inundated by a series of shrieks and screams which sounded exactly like a baby¡¯s cry.

    Naturally, they had no idea that these noises were actually produced by the supercats that were enjoying themselves in the Vige of Dreams. In their heads, the screams turned increasingly shrilling as panic assailed them.

    Reaching this stage, they had already contemted the option of giving up since this dugout was too creepy and was something beyond their control.

    When they were about to leave, the teenager whipped out his phone and took a photo to report the situation to his boss. He needed his boss to send in further reinforcements.

    However, there was something fishy with the photos taken. The photos produced were different from what their eyes saw.

    This discovery tempted them to explore the depths of the underdog, enchanted with illusion. One person was responsible to illuminate the interior of the dugout with his phone while the other explored further down. With their sense of sight, smell, touch, and hearing hindered by the illusion, they began their exploration within the illusion.

    Within the dugout, all they saw was pitch darkness. Their head was flooded with the sound of babies¡¯ cries. With their sense of touch affected by the illusion, they felt as if they were standing at the entrance to hell.

    Suddenly, the teenager¡¯s body went limp before copsing to the floor. At first, they were clutching tightly onto each other¡¯s arms as they ventured forth. This sudden copse frightened the tattooed man and he immediately dragged the teenager out of that horrid ce. Naturally, they had no idea about the existence of the illusion which would rob every one of their five senses. He thought the teenager¡¯s soul had simply been taken away by some sort of devil.

    ¡°We caught a big fish! This cat king of Jiangmen University ... This strength ... I must capture it!¡±

    ¡°I need to go back and report everything to boss!¡±

    ...

    The second morning, Zhao Yao reported to the cafe with two dark circles adorning his face. However, his eyes were brimming with excitement as he was thinking about finding people for more missions.

    However, he was taken aback the moment he sat in his usual spot in the cafe.

    ¡°Illusion?¡± Zhao Yao rubbed his eyes vigorously and saw Matcha pushing Mango across the floor as if Mango was a piece of rag. From the looks of it, Matcha seemed pretty serious about it.

    ¡°Matcha, what are you doing?¡¯

    ¡°Oh, boss, when did you arrive? I didn¡¯t even see youing!¡± Matcha replied earnestly, ¡°I¡¯m just taking care of the cleanliness of the caf¨¦. I notice the floor was getting somewhat dirty and I decided to clean it. Don¡¯t worry about me, I¡¯ll be done soon.¡±

    After exining, Matcha resumed his hard work and began dragging Mango across the entire caf¨¦. Mango squinted his eyes together and seemed like he was enjoying this process.

    ¡°This silly cat ...¡± Zhao Yao was left speechless by Matcha¡¯s sudden change of behavior, ¡°What stupid idea does he have in his head?¡±

    Matcha was sniggering as he continued to clean the floor, ¡°Meowhaha, I bet the old fool has been moved by my love for the caf¨¦. Just pass the caf¨¦ down to me already! I am your true sessor! Meowhahaha!¡±

    For the next half an hour, Matcha continued cleaning the floor relentlessly in hopes of impressing Zhao Yao.

    However, Zhao Yao was oblivious to Matcha¡¯s actions. He was still deep in thought about his abilities, ¡°Hanako had promised me to help contact some of her Japanese friends. However, I do not believe that nationally is the determining factor. I must start finding people that would allow me to help them. There surely is some pattern behind this phenomenon.¡±

 Chapter 238: Daddy and the Four Missions

    <h4>Chapter 238: Daddy and the Four Missions</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    As for his BOOK¡¯s abilities, Zhao Yao had initially thought that its functions were limited to training his supercats . However, since realizing that he could ept missions from other people and earn experience points from them, Zhao Yao understood that his BOOK could be enhanced by improving himself.

    The other way to improve the BOOK¡¯s abilities was simply by offering a helping hand.

    ¡°This is obviously a mission befitting of who I truly am. It exemplifies my kind and generous nature. I am an individual that is always out to help others improve their lives.¡± Zhao Yao stared at his palms as excitement poured out of his eyes. He let out a soft sigh and muttered, ¡°This pair of hands represents the perfect culmination of kindness and justice.¡±

    Zhao Yao thoughtfully stroked his chin and concluded, ¡°Hmph, I only managed to help Elizabeth, Dr. Liu, a Japanese and another Japanese throughout the process. They¡¯re all people I already know or have requests rted to superpowers. This is too small a sample size.¡±

    After a round of deliberation, Zhao Yao decided to get out in search of people who required his help.

    Speaking of missions, Zhao Yao nced at his chain mission to establish a cat nation and realized that it remained iplete. Because he had released them into the dugout, the current poption of the belly had plummeted to 0/10. Zhao Yao was bewildered when he saw the number.

    Currently, he had four main missions ¨C establish cat nation, find new missions, manage cat caf¨¦, and the uing cat kingpetition.

    He could only wait patiently for themencement of the cat kingpetition. The cat caf¨¦¡¯s business was improving steadily and the only way to go was up. Obtaining new missions from strangers was what he was currently busy with. However, he can¡¯t get over the fact that he was still stuck at the first stage of the chain mission.

    Hence, he went to the caf¨¦¡¯s backdoor and absorbed himself into the belly when he ensured that the coast was clear.

    ¡°Dust Ball, what¡¯s happening? Why are all of them refusing to go back to the belly?¡± Zhao Yao burst out asking the moment he entered the extradimensional belly. Immediately, a shadow darted from a corner and grabbed tightly onto his calf. The shadow was none other than Roly Poly.

    Roly Poly shouted at the top of his voice, ¡°Daddy!¡±

    Zhao Yao curled his lips in disgust before bending down to pry him off his calf, ¡°I do not have such a fat son.¡±

    Roly Poly burst into tears and responded, ¡°It is my fault. I apologize for being such an unreasonable child. Sorry for expecting you to clean up after my shit. Now, God has given me another opportunity, there¡¯s only one thing that I would like to say to you ... Daddy! I want to eat fried chicken!¡±

    Actually, Roly Poly had spent the past few days with Dust Ball in a world free of food magically enchanted by Zhao Yao¡¯s illusion that would turn them into fried chicken. Without the inte and fried chicken, Roly Poly found no reason to continue living and wanted to leave this ce so badly.

    Roly Poly had soon grown bored of the hunting game and decided to hide by turning his body invisible. Serendipitously, Dust Ball tripped over his invisible body and fell right into his paws.

    Since then, he had spent all his time in the belly waiting for Zhao Yao¡¯s return.

    Zhao Yao ears¡¯ quivered when he heard Roly Poly¡¯s stomach growling. He nodded his head and said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll bring you back soon.¡±

    ¡°Yay!¡± Roly Poly was overwhelmed with joy and began jumping up and down.

    Deep down, Zhao Yao thought, ¡°What kind of game is Dust Ball ying with the supercats? Why are Ares and gang not back yet?¡±

    Dust Ball finally absorbed herself back into the extradimensional belly after Zhao Yao roared for her the third consecutive time.

    She was breathing heavily as she nced at Zhao Yao before asking, ¡°Zhao Yao, what brings you here today?¡±

    ¡°Where are the cats?¡± Zhao Yao asked with a look of confusion stered on his face, ¡°Why are there zero cats inside your belly?¡±

    Roly Poly immediately blurted out before Dust Ball could answer, ¡°That¡¯s because they failed to catch Dust Ball Sister.¡±

    ¡°Huh, catch you?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead furrowed together as he cocked his head towards Dust Ball and asked, ¡°Dust Ball, what¡¯s the meaning of this?¡±

    Dust Ball literally felt the pit of her stomach fell as a stream of cold sweat trickled down her back. Her entire body froze as an awkward smile slowly found its way up her face. She responded, ¡°Meowhaha, Zhao Yao, this smoky makeup really suits you.¡±

    ¡°These are dark circles.¡± Zhao Yao took a step forward and squatted down to face Dust Ball eye to eye. He eyeballed Dust Ball before asking, ¡°Speak, what happened?¡±

    Dust Ball slid Roly Poly an annoyed re and started shouting at him telepathically, ¡°You busybody cat! Get ready to die in my hands once Zhao Yao leaves. Don¡¯t think that I won¡¯t dare to bully you just because you have Zhao Yao backing you up. Meowhaha, to think that you would stoop to the level of calling him, daddy. How shameless can you get?¡±

    Dust Ball was always aware of the situation inside her belly 24/7, hence she knew whatever that went on inside it, no matter where she was.

    She never expected the Roly Poly who always behaved like a coward in her eyes started to snigger and replied telepathically, ¡°What do you know? This is an ancient art form where you address your enemy as your dad. What do I have to lose by simply calling him daddy? Zhao Yao is the owner of a cat caf¨¦. With him behind me, I will instantly be second to none. From now on, no one will dare toy a finger on me.¡±

    After these few days of non-stop torture, Roly Poly had gleaned for himself the rules of the jungle. He had decided to join Zhao Yao¡¯s side by embracing his thick calfs wholeheartedly.

    ¡°Tsk!¡± Dust Ball rolled her eyes at Roly Poly before turning her head back to Zhao Yao. She gave an awkward shrug of her shoulders and exined, ¡°Actually, it is nothing much. I just want them to spend some time outdoors before returning here. I mean it¡¯s not good for them to lead such sedentary lives. Just look at Stephen Hawking, his health deteriorated since he was confined to a chair.

    Zhao Yao could not help but facepalmed himself, ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about the supercats first, when did you hear about the nonsense regarding Stephen Hawking?¡± Zhao Yao suspected that Hawking would be so furious that he would stand on his feet when he heard those insolent remarks.

    Dust Ball replied with an innocent expression, ¡°Matcha told me that.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head and could not believe that he would actually go around spreading such baseless rumors. It was time for them to sit down and discuss some societal values.

    Zhao Yao carried on by asking, ¡°So how do you make them spend time outdoors?¡±

    ¡°Erm ... erm ... I just make them run.¡±

    A frown crept up Zhao Yao¡¯s face when he noticed how uneasy Dust Ball acted and could easily tell that she was lying. He turned his head towards Roly Poly and demanded, ¡°Tell me the truth.¡±

    During the split second Zhao Yao took to turn his head, Dust Ball had already given Roly Poly a death re before drawing a finger across her throat, warning him of the consequences for telling the truth.

    Roly Poly¡¯s body shook violently before he immediately straightened his back and thought, ¡°Are you kidding me. Now I have Zhao Yao behind me supporting me. What can you do about me?¡±

    With this reassuring thought in his head, Roly Poly began exining the entire situation in the Vige of Dreams.

    Dust Ball turned extremely edgy when she noticed Zhao Yao¡¯s face. She asked, ¡°Zhao Yao? Actually I ..¡±

    ¡°You have disappointed me.¡± Zhao Yao said after heaving a sigh of despair. A face of abject disappointment was clearly reflected on him as he continued, ¡°Do you know how much faith I had in you? I wanted to entrust the future of the Vige of Dreams into your paws. You are going to be the ruler of the cat nation. I never expected you to stoop to this level, repressing the male cats and wreaking havoc among themon cats. You have disappointed me...¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Dust Ball tilted her head and stared dumbfoundedly at Zhao Yao and thought, ¡°What¡¯s this guy saying?¡±

    However, she yed along with Zhao Yao and eximed, ¡°Zhao Yao, trust me. I will send them back here immediately!¡±

    After less than half an hour, Zhao Yao could clearly feel the supercats returning to the belly and separating into their respective corners as they began fiddling with theirptops.

    The corner of his mouth curled upwards at this sight. He thought, ¡°There will definitely be a perfect game for each of them. At this rate, the first mission to establish my cat nation would bepleted sooner than I imagined.¡±

    ¡°Next, I¡¯ll just have to wait for the announcement for the cat kingpetition. I predict that it would arrive in the uing month. Now, the cat caf¨¦ is also doing pretty well ...¡±

    Suddenly, a mission sprang up as Zhao Yao was still deep in his thoughts.

    Mission: Time to wee a new batch of cats!

    Objective: Following the expansion of your cat caf¨¦, you need more cats working under you. This beautiful city is home to numerous stray cats. Why not invite them to join you in your business? Attract 20 stray cats to work at your cat caf¨¦.

    Reward: 100 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    ¡°Oh, I have almost forgotten about it. Indeed, there are insufficient cats inside the caf¨¦. Hmph, I guess I¡¯ll just ...¡±

    Next, Zhao Yao drove to Jiangmen University and instantly captured 20 stray cats in one fell swoop. He intended to get Elizabeth to train them before their assimtion into the cat caf¨¦.

 Chapter 239: Good Deed Friday

    <h4>Chapter 239: Good Deed Friday</h4>

    The second morning, Elizabeth was greeted by the astonishing scene of 20 stray cats kept inside a cage. She struggled to open her eyes and asked, ¡°You expect me to train this bunch of r*tards?¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head and exined, ¡°Please, Elizabeth, these stray cats have spent their entire lives outdoors. Without your help, it would take them an extremely long time to get ustomed to life under a roof.¡±

    Naturally, a domestic cat¡¯s life was far morefortable than a stray cat¡¯s life. This could be deduced solely based on their lifespan. A stray cat¡¯s lifespan hovered at around five years. On the other hand, domestic cats could usually live up to ten years. With the rapid advancements in medical technology coupled with the ever-improving standard of living, these numbers would only continue to grow.

    After all, cities were not ideal ces for cats to live in. The food itself was arge problem. Theck of preys in the cities coerced cats to survive on human leftover food which was not suitable for them. It wasmon for them to suffer from food poisoning because of the food ingested.

    The worst problem would be water. In reality, it was close to impossible for cats to find potable water. Most of the times, they would simply make do with unsanitary water or just restrain from drinking them. This would result in a myriad of kidney problems in the long run.

    Even though life as a domestic cat provided an environment that was far superior to what they were used to, stray cats were the kind of animal that loved to reminisce the past. Hence, it would take them quite some time to adapt to the life as a domestic cat.

    That was why Zhao Yao reached out to Elizabeth for help.

    Zhao Yap exined, ¡°You just have to train them in the same way that you did with Mango and the rest. That shouldn¡¯t be a problem, right?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Elizabeth raised her head smugly and folded her arms across her chest. She continued, ¡°There are so many cats. This would be the death of me.¡± Instantly, her body copsed to the floor as she stuck out her tongue. Then, she began to lick her meaty pawsfortably.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead puckered slightly when he stared at Elizabeth¡¯szy behavior. He thought, ¡°Tsk, Elizabeth has been leading a far too rxed and carefree life these days. These supercats are starting to forget their ce in this household.¡±

    However, Zhao Yao¡¯s thoughts were briefly interrupted by Elizabeth¡¯s words as she continued, ¡°Of course, I would not reject you if you really required my help.¡± She swept her head towards Zhao Yao and stared at him with her pair of sapphire-like eyes. Her eyes shone with anticipation as she announced, ¡°Bring me to the cinema for a movie. If you do that, I¡¯ll help you educate them and assimte into the environment.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s jaw went ck as he stared at Elizabeth in disbelief, ¡°Huh? Watch a movie?¡±

    ¡°Hmph,¡± Elizabeth beamed from ear to ear and exined, ¡°From my research online, I gathered that humans love spending time watching movies in the cinema. I believe the visual and auditory effects would only be better inside a cinema! I have been waiting for this day since forever!¡±

    ¡°Watch a movie?¡± Somehow, Matcha who was mopping the floor using Mango as a rag had stopped at Zhao Yao¡¯s feet. He raised his head and stared curiously at her and asked, ¡°Is it movie by Tokyo Hot or 1Pondo?¡±

    Instantly, Zhao Yao grabbed Matcha by his neck and lifted him off the ground. His body locked with rage as he roared, ¡°Stupid cat! Did you flip through the contents of my phone again?¡±

    Matcha was struggling to catch his breath with Zhao Yao¡¯s hand suffocating him. He exined, ¡°No, no. I saw them when you watch those movies at night. I simply watched alongside you. I did not look through the contents of your phone.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s face immediately turned crimson before he channeled his embarrassment into anger and retorted, ¡°Weren¡¯t you supposed to be asleep?¡±

    Matcha blinked his eyes and exined, ¡°Sometimes, you get a little excited and wake me up from my sleep.¡±

    Zhao Yao stared dumbfoundedly at this cat that had potentially seen everything. Zhao Yao lowered his head and whispered directly into Matcha¡¯s ears, ¡°That means, you have already seen them?¡±

    ¡°Normally, I would return to sleep after taking one nce.¡± Matcha continued, ¡°However, the plot is all roughly the same. There¡¯s nothing interesting about it.¡±

    Zhao Yao propped his chin on his palm and muttered, ¡°I guess I owe you a thank you then?!¡± In his head, Zhao Yao was screaming at the top of his lungs, ¡°D*mn it, we have to split beds. From today onwards, we can never sleep in the same bed ever again!¡±

    Meanwhile, Elizabeth could not understand a single thing they talked about. With a frown on her face, she dashed towards Zhao Yao and tapped her paw against his calf and asked, ¡°Is that a yes or no, Zhao Yao? If you promise to bring me to the cinema, I¡¯ll help you take care of these cats.¡±

    ¡°Alright, alright.¡± Zhao Yao bent down and gave her a gentle pat on the back of her head. Actually, he was still thinking about the embarrassing incident as he remarked, ¡°I¡¯ll bring you in two days¡¯ time. We will watch whatever you want to watch.¡±

    Finally, the frown vanished from Elizabeth¡¯s face as a wide grin appeared. Elizabeth nced at the stray cats before flooding them in a wave of illusion. Instantly, the stray cats quietened down and stood obediently in their cage.

    Countless images and sounds were transmitted into their heads via the sound waves conjured by the illusion. Elizabeth had tailor made a crash course lesson by utilizing her unique illusion powers coupled with her experience as a cat to educate these stray cats on how to survive in the cat caf¨¦.

    Aspared to the environment which they were used to, their time here would be significantly morefortable and blissful.

    100*2 experience points earned.

    Zhao Yao went down the flight of stairs and thought, ¡°Alright, I have settled the publicity and cat problem in the caf¨¦. Now, I shall just let nature take its course. The business would just continue to improve and bring in more experience points for me. Now, I just have to wait for the announcement regarding the cat kingpetition...¡±

    With the thought lingering in his head, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes shot out beams of excitement.

    Hence, he informed Shi Yu and Baiquan that he would be leaving for a short while and instructed Elizabeth and Matcha to keep an eye out for Hanako.

    ¡°Oh yes,¡± Zhao Yao nced at Roly Poly, which was lyingfortably atop a kitty tower.

    Roly Poly felt as if he was in heaven after experience the harsh life of the wilderness. He justid down there carefreely with a wide grin pasted on his face.

    ¡°I¡¯m finally back. I have finally returned from the dugout.¡± Roly Poly thought as he began licking his paws, ¡°I no longer have to worry about life without inte and electricity. I don¡¯t have to spend all my energy running around and plotting against fellow cats.¡±

    However, his sweet recollections were disrupted when images of Diana and Caesar floated into his head.

    ¡°Ah, Diana is really so beautiful. However, a vige cat like her is notpatible with a city cat like me. I think I should just give up the thought of it.¡±

    ¡°The more troubling thing is Brother Caesar. We have pledged to be sworn brothers and he had taken good care of me during my brief time there.¡±

    Roly Poly shut his eyes and rolled his body across the kitty tower and thought, ¡°Forget it. I¡¯ll just take on the responsibility of taking care of Elizabeth after he dies.¡±

    At this moment, he suddenly felt his body momentarily floating in the air. In reality, Zhao Yao had picked him up and ced him on his shoulder.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go, Roly Poly. Follow me. We shall do some good deeds today.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Roly Poly was taken aback by Zhao Yao¡¯s words and asked, ¡°What are we doing today?¡±

    ¡°There are too many cameras out there. It would be useless even if I used Elizabeth¡¯s illusion. Hence, I decided to bring you along. You can help me avoid some unnecessary troubles with your invisibility.¡±

    Zhao Yao had decided to find strangers to create new missions. Obviously, he had to go somewhere teeming with people.

    However, locations that had throngs of humans were ces such as shopping malls, supermarkets or even the city center. These ces were littered with security cameras all over the ce. It would be far more convenient with Roly Poly¡¯s power of invisibility.

    Momentster, Zhao Yao had entered his Panamera with Roly Poly tightly clutched in his arms as they made their way towards the city center.

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    The interior of this gym was extremely dark and it emanated a somewhat creepy vibe. This was probably because of the poor lightning coupled with the fact that the curtains were all drawn.

    Six grown men set together in a circle and were in the midst of a serious discussion with their foreheads puckered together.

    The teenager and tattooed-man which trespassed into Zhao Yao¡¯s dugout were also there.

    Usually, the pair of teenager and tattooed-man would have easily stood out in the crowd for their muscr and buff bodies. However, aspared to the remaining four men sitting beside them, it was like seeing Dawyne Johnson sitting next to Shaq.

    They were far bigger than the pair, be it the size of their chest, waist, arms or even legs. Any ordinary human would be taken aback by their sheer size.

    Even though they were deeply engrossed in their discussion, they did not stop working out.

    One of them held a dumbbell in his arm which weighed at least 30kg. Every time he executed a bicep curl, the muscles on his arms would contract as his veins popped up all over his biceps. The strength on disy was startling.

    The remaining muscr men were simrly engrossed in their individual exercise while maintaining the conversation.

    From the looks of it, they were already used to multitasking in this manner.

    The reason behind their relentless training, even when they were in the midst of a serious discussion, was probably due to their superpower.

    The superpower that these sports enthusiasts were endowed with was not something that would provide them a shortcut to instantly boost their muscr strength. Instead, it was an ability which improved their efficiency during training.

    After receiving this superpower, the effects of their training were 10 times more efficient and effectivepared to a normal human. Furthermore, the most important aspect of this power was that there was no bottleneck in terms of their muscr growth and development. Through their perpetual training, they had already re-defined what the human body was capable of again and again. Now, they had bodies which could unleash strength that all powerlifters could only dream of.

    This was the main reason why they were training their body regardless of where they were and what they were doing.

    With the dumbbell held in the air, one of the muscr blokes shouted, ¡°Hey, the neighboring Xing Xing District, Bai Wang Jiayuan, Dragon Court ... We have cleared a total of 12 districts and schools and submitted their respective cat kings to our superior. However, most of them had useless powers.¡±

    The other muscr man with the hand gripper in his palm responded, ¡°These are situations which we cannot avoid. The majority of the supercats have powers and abilities that are too weak. Only a minority have powers that are truly revolutionary. Speaking of it ...¡± He swept his eyes across the gym before stopping at the tattooed man, ¡°Ah Jie, Ah Shan, you guys mentioned that there was a truly formidable cat king.¡±

    The tattooed-man who was referred to as Ah Jie jumped onto his feet with excitement overwhelming him as he shouted, ¡°Yes, boss! I¡¯m telling you that this cat king has a power that is unrivaled by any other supercats. We would be rich if we manage to catch it!¡±

    Hence, Ah Jie and Ah Shan began recounting their experience in the dugout.

    The boss who held the hand gripper in his palm stroked his chin thoughtfully and was taken aback by the scenario exined by them, ¡°Its range of influence is so wide that even you guys cannot avoid it?¡± A smile crept up his face as he continued, ¡°This is interesting. We will take a look tonight. We shall see what kind of power lies within that ce ... hahaha, I hope that it would not disappoint me like the other cat kings had.¡±

    Excitement poured out of his eyes as he identally broke the hand gripper into two.

    ...

    Zhao Yao was standing in the middle of a crowded street, situating in the heart of the city center. His eyes darted across the street, in search of pedestrians with the exmation marks floating above their heads.

    Roly Poly was lying on Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulder with a face brimming with frustration

    ¡°No one needs my help?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes scrutinized every single person that walked down the street. However, none of them had an exmation mark above their head. Zhao Yao could not help but suspect that he was missing something important.

    ¡°What are the conditions that I have to meet in order to ept a mission?¡± He was deep in thought when he noticed a frail elderlydy waiting at the traffic light, getting ready to cross the road.

    His eyes glittered with excitement as he dashed across and came up to this elderlydy. Zhao Yao tapped her on her shoulder and asked, ¡°Hi, are you intending to cross the road?¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes.¡± The elderlydy seemed to have many experience receiving help from people to cross the road as she reached her arm towards Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Young man, thank you so much ...¡±

    Before the elderlydy could evenplete her statement, Zhao Yao had already taken a step backward with a frown clearly reflected on his face. He gave thedy a polite smile and exined, ¡°You can just cross when the traffic light turns green.¡±

    The elderlydy stared dumbfoundedly as Zhao Yao took his leave. Her emotions at that moment could only be exined with three words, ¡°What the f*ck?¡±

    Roly Poly, who was perched on Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulder the entire time, could not believe his eyes as well. Suddenly, a thought shed across his head, ¡°Oh my god, did Zhao Yao just turn r*traded? This is bad. If he is really retarded, who is going to go out there and earn money for us? Hmph ... maybe it¡¯s time to take the property deed from Zhao Yao.¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao was indifferent to his prior failure and walked a few hundred meters in another direction. Then, his attention was caught by a primary school student squatting by the flower bed with his eyes reddened with tears.

    Zhao Yao immediately approached him and asked, ¡°Hey, what happened? Did you fail an exam or lose a textbook or something?¡±

    The kid who was still sobbing raised his head and stared at Zhao Yao as his body quivered with sadness, ¡°I just can¡¯t seem to level up in Mobile Legends.¡±

    ¡°Oh, is that the case?¡± Zhao Yao immediately whipped out his phone and said, ¡°Just add me on Mobile Legends. I¡¯ll help you achieve it.¡±

    Instantly, the frown evaporated from his face and was reced by a wide grin. However, the kid was rather hesitant and asked, ¡°Are you sure you are capable of doing that?¡±

    ¡°Obviously! My main ount¡¯s rank is legend. I¡¯ll just use one of my smurf ounts to help you. Piece of cake.¡±

    After adding the kid on Mobile Legend, Zhao Yao excitedly tapped on a ranked match. However, the exmation mark did not appear no matter how long Zhao Yao waited. Finally, Zhao Yao gave up and gave a long sigh of despair. He patted the kid on his head and said, ¡°Hey, you are not young anymore. Back in my days, you are already old enough to be a father. It¡¯s going to be disastrous if you continue feeding your addiction to the game. I¡¯m just trying to help you kick your addiction. You don¡¯t have to thank me.¡±

    Momentster, the kid saw a notification on his phone screen, ¡°Your teammate has left the game.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± The kid raised his head but Zhao Yao was already long gone. The kid trembled with anger and there were three words which would urately describe his emotions, ¡°What the f*ck?¡±

    ¡°I need to make good use of the remaining time in search of people who truly require my help.¡± Zhao Yao continued walking down the street but was disappointed by the absence of his favorite punctuation. He could not help but sigh, ¡°Are there really no one who truly deserves my help?¡±

    Roly Poly scratched his head and mumbled, ¡°This devil ...¡±

    However, Zhao Yao had learned a few lessons from the previous encounters and concluded, ¡°I guess I can only ept a mission when there¡¯s the golden exmation mark. I cannot simply create a mission on my own. However, I¡¯ve not seen a single exmation mark after spending so much time on the streets. Does it mean that it must be someone I know?¡±

    Zhao Yao recalled the previous missions and shook his head, ¡°That isn¡¯t the case. I mean I didn¡¯t even know the Japanese beforehand. Or maybe these missions must have some sort of connections to supercats.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought that this insight was the key to unlocking more missions. Since his BOOK¡¯s abilities were directly connected to training his supercats, it only made sense that the missions it gave must be rted to supercats.

    ¡°If it must be rted to supercats ...¡± A smile crept up Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he started contacting Inspector Ho.

    ¡°The number you are calling is currently not avable.¡±

    ¡°The number you are calling is currently not avable.¡±

    ¡°The number you are calling is currently not avable.¡±

    Zhao Yao gave up the thought as he bit his lower lip. He muttered, ¡± I never expected Inspector ho to be such a petty man to resort to ignoring my calls.¡±

    Zhao Yao ced his phone back in his pocket and thought, ¡°Currently, I havee up with two critical factors. The missions must be either rted to Japanese or supercats. I have Hanako tending to the Japanese side, I guess I¡¯ll just have to experiment with other apostles.¡±

    Zhao Yao instantly tranted his thoughts into actions. Even though he had failed to contact Inspector Ho, Zhao Yao was confident with his apostle connections. The first person that came to mind was the breeder from the zoo and her Serval.

    ¡°I believe I¡¯ll be able to receive the missions from the zoody and her cat.¡±

    Hence, he brought Roly Poly back to his Panamera and started their journey towards Jiangmen Zoo.

    ¡°I remember this cat was kept in the ferocious beast area previously.¡± Zhao Yao tapped on Roly Poly¡¯s head and instructed, ¡°Roly Poly, use your power of invisibility and ensure that I am not captured by the security cameras.¡±

    Meow!

    Roly Polyplied with Zhao Yao¡¯s instruction and coated his body with his power of invisibility. Hence, Zhao Yao and Roly Poly simply disappeared into thin air as they turned a corner. There was a spring in Zhao Yao¡¯s steps as he managed to ovee a series of barriers and walls as if he was practicing Qigong. Soon, he had reached the enclosure where the Serval stayed.

    ¡°Hmph, let¡¯s start searching for it then.¡± Zhao Yao and Roly Poly began sauntering across the enclosure, in search of their target.

    Being the ferocious beast enclosure, two tigers soon detected an unfamiliar scent and crept up to Zhao Yao and Roly Poly¡¯s positions. They took a few deep breaths but still could not understand how that smell came about.

    Zhao Yao was simrly intrigued by their behavior and pped Roly Poly on his head and asked,¡±Hey, can they smell us? Talk to them and ask them about the Serval.¡±

    ¡°How am I supposed to know? Cats and tiger don¡¯t evenmunicate in the samenguage.¡± Roly Poly protested as he massaged his bruised head.

    The tigers could clearly hear their conversation and immediately took a few steps backward in fear. Then, they let out the most menacing growl which caused Roly Poly¡¯s fur to stand on end.

    ¡°What are they trying to say?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead furrowed slightly as he cocked his head towards Roly Poly, ¡°Even though you guys might not share the samenguage, but you are still part of the cat kingdom. I¡¯m sure you can understand the gist of what they¡¯re saying.¡±

    Seeing how relentless Zhao Yao was, Roly Poly could only resort to deciphering their bodynguage before reporting, ¡°From the looks of it, I believe they are saying ...¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s not order a take-out today; I am sure I detected a human¡¯s scent!¡±

    ¡°But we can¡¯t see anything!¡±

    ¡°D*mn it, this human is obviously trying to make things difficult for me!¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s enchanting story-telling was cut short by Zhao Yao¡¯s p on his head. He retorted, ¡°They only took in a few breaths followed by wagging their tails a few times. How can such aplicated story be conveyed with those simple actions? I need you to be serious.¡±

    Quivering with indignation, Roly Poly gave a two-word reply, ¡°Got human?¡±

    ¡°So simple?¡± Zhao Yao pinched the bridge of his nose and thought, ¡°But their facial expressions seem soplicated.¡±

    A thought sprang up Roly Poly¡¯s head, ¡°F*ck you! Are you trying to make things difficult for me?¡± Obviously, those words were confined to his head. On the surface, he was staring at Zhao Yao with a pair of eyes beaming with admiration.

    Zhao Yao propped his chin on his palm andmented, ¡°Your trantion skills are rather bad.¡±

    Left with no options, Zhao Yao reached out his palm and unleashed the invisible sound waves, carrying his illusion, into the surrounding. This removed the tigers¡¯ sense of smell, hearing, and sight. At this rate, the tigers would not even detect their presence even when they sat on their back.

    If this happened a few months ago, Zhao Yao would not have been able to aplish this feat even with the idea in his head. This was only possible because of his relentless training each night which allowed him to control his power to such uracy.

    Zhao Yao and Roly Poly each perched on top of a tiger. Zhao Yao let out a long sigh and activated his power once again. This time, he had magically created a b of meat for each tiger, luring them forward. Zhao Yao roared, ¡°My tigers move forward!¡±

    This was the first time Roly Poly had evere into contact with such a ferocious beast. His eyes sparkled with excitement and concluded, ¡°This is so cool! Following Zhao Yao is really the best move I have ever made. I even get to sit on a tiger¡¯s back!¡± He instantly whipped out his phone and thought, ¡°I need to take a photo to showcase my heroism to everyone!¡±

    Hence, Roly Poly removed his power of invisibility for a short while just to capture the moment of him atop the tiger.

    Hence, the pair of human and cat spent their remaining time traversing the enclosure with a wind at their back.

    The enclosure was swarming with tigers which were eitherzing on the ground for a suntan or ying with each other. There were no signs of the Serval.

    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that cat isn¡¯t inside the ferocious beast¡¯s enclosure?¡± Just when Zhao Yao was still deep in thought, the silence was punctured by a woman¡¯s deafening scream. Zhao Yao immediately enticed the tiger to move towards the source of the sound with the b of meat. Finally, Zhao Yao saw a breeder standing by the foot of a tree, shouting at the top of her voice.

    Zhao Yao squinted his eyes into a line and tried to take a closer look to see what was hiding in the tree. He thought, ¡°Could that cat be hiding up there?¡±

    Against the bright sunlight, Zhao Yao could make out the Serval perched on top the highest branch as she let out a series of shrilling shrieks.

    ¡°This situation ...¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s expression instantly changed as a lopsided smile appeared on his face when he noticed his favorite punctuation floating on top of their heads.

    Hence, he stopped the tigers and cradled Roly Poly in his arms before approaching the pair of breeder and Serval.

    As he got nearer to them, he could finally hear what the female breeder was shouting, ¡°Hey Tiny,e down now! You have not eaten for an entire day already. At this rate, you will run out of energy and fall from the top of the tree!¡±

    The female breeder stared at the cat with her forehead furrowed together. It was obvious she was extremely concerned about the cat¡¯s wellbeing as she continually tried to persuade her.

    However, the cat seemed indifferent to her pleas. After hearing her words, the Serval simply let out a series of shrieks.

    Naturally, the female breeder, Liu Yun, had no idea what she was trying to say. However, Zhao Yao could understand everything that she had to say.

    ¡°Boohoo!¡± An adolescent voice rang in Zhao Yao¡¯s head, ¡°Liu Yun, I¡¯m sorry for disappointing you!¡±

    ¡°Boohoo, it¡¯s all my fault!¡±

    ¡°I am the one who had exceeded your credit card limit. I¡¯m the one who had used up all your bnce in Alipay!¡±

    ¡°Boohoo, I¡¯ve exceeded your spending limit on every single card!¡±

    Zhao Yao had a clear picture of what happened. He took a nce at Liu Yun and it seemed like she was still in the dark. She had no idea what the Serval had done to her.

    Judging from her voice and Zhao Yao¡¯s encounter with her previously, it was highly possible that the Serval was just a kitten that was born this year.

    This also served as a warning to Zhao Yao as he muttered, ¡°Hmph, I must never let Matcha and the rest know my bank ount details.¡±

    Zhao Yao inched towards Liu Yun and cast a new illusion by coughing a few times. By altering her sense of sight and hearing, Zhao Yao had magically appeared in front of her.

    Liu Yun was taken aback by this man¡¯s sudden appearance as her chest tightened with fear. However, she started getting somewhat agitated as she took a closer look at the person¡¯s face. She could hardly suppress her excitement as she shouted, ¡°Daniel Wu?¡¯

    Zhao Yao simply gave a nonchnt wave of his hand and replied, ¡°No, no. I¡¯m not Daniel Wu. I just happen to be as handsome as him. I mean most good-looking people all look the same, I¡¯m sure you understand what I mean.¡±

    Liu Yun cocked her head sideways as she tried to process his words. Suddenly, it dawned on her as she let out a scream, ¡°You are an apostle!¡± She had witnessed for herself how this man had magically appeared in front of her.

    Zhao Yao gave a shrug of his shoulders and replied, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I mean no harm. Do you know Inspector Ho? I am his colleague.¡±

    Liu Yun finally managed to calm down when she heard Inspector Ho¡¯s name being mentioned. Obviously, she had spoken to Inspector Ho regarding the cat. The Serval¡¯s ability was to control the beasts surrounding him and was not much of a threat to the residents living in the city. Inspector Ho allowed the cat to stay here considering how well-behaved they were subsequently and the good words Zhao Yao had put in for them.

    With her slightly more rxed, Zhao Yao moved on to the next topic by asking, ¡°Do you need my help?¡± As he spoke, he purposely gravitated his eyes towards the position of the Serval.

    Liu Yun did not hesitate to ask Zhao Yao for help when she heard his offer and asked, ¡°Could you kindly help me get this Serval down? She has been up there for an entire day. I¡¯m afraid her body would not be able to take it if she continued staying there. I¡¯ve tried getting people to get her down but somehow, her reaction was just very violent.¡±

    Zhao Yao suppressed his snigger and thought, ¡°Even I wouldn¡¯t dare toe down aftermitting such a grave mistake.¡±

    As Liu Yun¡¯s voice rang in Zhao Yao¡¯s head, changes had also been made to his mission panel.

    Mission: Rescue the kitten from the top of the tree.

    Objective: Bring the kitten down.

    Reward: 50 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    With a wide grin on his face, Zhao Yao immediately epted the mission with no hesitation. Suddenly, he just disappeared from her sight, leaving his voice ringing in her head, ¡°Wait for me, I¡¯ll bring the cat down now.¡±

    Zhao Yao readied himself by standing on the lowest lying branch. With his power of ¡®Three is better than two¡¯, his body coordination and agility had far surpassed tigers and even cheetahs. He began climbing the tree as if it was a flight of stairs. Soon, he was just three meters from the Serval.

    Roly Poly clutched onto Zhao Yao¡¯s body with all his might. His heart was in his throat throughout the entire ascent. Whenever he took a nce downwards, his heart would drum so loudly that he couldn¡¯t even hear anything else. Roly Poly¡¯s breath shook as he pleaded with Zhao Yao, ¡°Zhao Yao, I¡¯m very scared. Can we go down now?¡±

    ¡°Do not worry.¡± Zhao Yao gave a gentle pat on the back of his head andforted him by saying, ¡°You are a cat. You wouldn¡¯t even die if you fall from here. At most, you¡¯ll only be a crippled cat.¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s fear was temporarily reced by annoyance as he shouted in his head, ¡°How do you even call thatforting?¡±

    Zhao Yao let out a wide grin as he came face to face with the cat. However, he did not immediately reveal himself. When faced with Liu Yun, he used an image of Daniel Wu to gain her trust. Likewise, he would adopt a simr method to earn the Serval¡¯s trust.

    Following the activation of Zhao Yao¡¯s illusion, an orange cat with a pair of snow-white paws appeared in front of her. It was created in the image of Matcha in mind.

    The Serval whispered with her child-like voice, ¡°Who are you?¡±

    ¡°I am King George, the cat king of Jiangmen University. Hey kid, do you need my help?¡±

    Seeing that the cat was a fellow supercat, the Serval kitten instantly put her guards down and exined as she tried her best to suppress her sobbing, ¡°I spent all of Liu Yun¡¯s money! I¡¯m sure she would hate me to the core!¡±

    Zhao Yao (disguised as Matcha) asked, ¡°Oh, how much did you spend?¡±

    ¡°RMB 1,000.¡±

    ¡°Oh...¡± Zhao Yao began coughing incessantly and thought that he had heard wrong. He tried confirming with the Serval again, ¡°Can you repeat what you just said?¡±

    The Serval¡¯s face turned crimson as she whispered into his ears, ¡°...RMB 100,000...¡±

    ¡°How did you spend all that money?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s temple throbbed with rage as he retorted, ¡°You are still a kitten and you have already spent RMB 100,000? Do you know how much cat food, canned food that money can buy? Do you know how long it takes to save that amount of money? You are just a spoilt brat! A prodigal!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry.¡± The Serval copsed against the branch. Her forehead furrowed together and she seemed deeply remorseful for her actions as she exined, ¡°It¡¯s all my fault!I deserve to die!¡± As she spoke, she had already gotten to her feet and was on the verge of jumping down.

    ¡°Don¡¯t! Don¡¯t! Don¡¯t!¡± Zhao Yao pressed his paw against her body and stopped her frommitting suicide. He coaxed her by saying, ¡°RMB 100,000 might seem like an astronomical figure. However, it¡¯s a problem that can be solved.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± The Serval¡¯s eyes glittered with excitement as she stared enthusiastically at Zhao Yao, ¡°Can you really help me? This money was originally reserved for her mother¡¯s medical bills. She really cannot do without this money.¡±

    Immediately, new changes were reflected in the contents of the mission panel.

    Mission: Give her a chance! She is just a kid!

    Objective: Help solve the Serval¡¯s debt problem.

    Reward: 100 experience points earned for every RMB 50,000 returned.

    Punishment: Nil

    ¡°RMB 100,000 ...¡± Zhao Yao was still in disbelief as he continued staring at the number dumbfoundedly. Hemented, ¡°You really know how to spend money, don¡¯t you? Where did you spend all these money on?¡¯

    ¡°Live... Live streaming channel.¡± The Serval was so embarrassed that she buried her head in her chest. She did not even dare to make eye contact with Zhao Yao. She exined, ¡°I have no idea how it happened. Initially, I just wanted to use her phone to watch the channels for fun. However, something just went into my head and I began transferring money, money and more money to the channel. Normally, I wouldn¡¯t even spend a single cent on these channels. I had no idea what had happened.¡±

    ¡°Live stream?¡± Zhao Yao propped his chin on his palm and started deliberating. He skimmed through the contents of his mission panel and muttered, ¡°Is it worth it to buy 250*2 experience points using RMB 100,000?¡±

    He was still deep in thought when he raised his head to the pair of innocent-looking eyes. He could not help but replied, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll help you with this RMB 100,000. Later, we¡¯ll transfer the money to her mom. However, you must follow me down.¡±

    Meanwhile, Roly Poly which was eavesdropping on the conversation was writhing in pain as he shouted at Zhao Yao telepathically, ¡°Zhao Yao, do not be rash! We are talking about RMB 100,000. That is enough to buy 10,000 Matchas, 30 Mangos, and even 10 Elizabeths!¡±

    Zhao Yao stared at Roly Poly with a face of conviction and waved his hand before saying, ¡°I have already set my mind on it.¡±

    The Serval stared at this orange cat and was swooned over by his manly behavior when he shot down Roly Poly¡¯s suggestion.

    She thought, ¡°This orange cat is so handsome and cool!¡±

    With the Serval in his arms, Zhao Yao returned and was greeted by a beaming Liu Yun. He had thought about it but still decided to break the news to her, ¡°This silly cat identally spent RMB 100,000 while watching live streams.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Liu Yun¡¯s jaw went ck as she stared nkly at Zhao Yao and the Serval. She could not believe her ears.

    The Serval instantly jumped into her arms and started sobbing, ¡°I¡¯m so sorry! I¡¯m so sorry! I¡¯m so sorry ...¡±

    Zhao Yao took a look at her uniform and could not help but feel sorry for her. Hence, he continued, ¡°However, you don¡¯t have to worry. I have already helped you get back the money. You just have to give me your bank ount and I¡¯ll transfer it to youter.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Liu Yun¡¯s eyes were already welled with tears when she heard the news. Now, her eyes shone with excitement as she eximed, ¡°Thank you! Thank you so much!¡±

    Five minutester, Zhao Yao left Jiangmen Zoo with a mixture of happiness and sadness. On one hand, he hadpleted two missions and had earned 250*2 experience points consequently. Now, his BOOK read: lv4(1128/5000)

    However, the best thing that happened wasn¡¯t the experience points received, it was understanding the fact that he could receive missions from other supercats.

    ¡°Previously, my daily mission only required me to go down for a walk around the block. Now, I guess I have to go around and search for supercats and apostles.¡±

    Zhao Yao could not help but chuckled when he thought about the experience received and how he had acquired a new method to earn more experience points.

    However, his mood plummeted when he thought of the RMB 100,000. It literally felt as if he had cut a piece of him away and gave it to someone else.

    ¡°D*mn it, I need to find out who is that guy going around cheating cat¡¯s money.¡± Zhao Yao immediately tapped on the live-stream application when he got home. Before leaving, he had asked the Serval which channel she had watched previously.

    Based on her reply, it was a channel named Big White Meow. However, the channel was currently just a ck screen. Evidently, it had not started streaming yet. Based on the information provided, Zhao Yao had gathered that it was a channel about an old white cat which had garnered over 100,000 subscribers.

    A thought shed through his head as Zhao Yao read the description, ¡°Maybe this has something to do with a supercat?¡± Zhao Yao tapped on the follow button and couldn¡¯t wait for the streamer¡¯s return.

    After one long day of missions, Zhao Yao instantly copsed onto one of the couches in the caf¨¦.

    Within the cage in the far corner of the caf¨¦, the stray cats were no longer as timid as when they first arrived after Elizabeth¡¯s teaching. All of them sat obediently in the cage as they turned their heads around to observe their new surroundings.

    When the caf¨¦ closed for the day, Zhao Yao brought Baiquan, Hanako, Elizabeth, Rice Cake, and Mango back home. Then, he proceeded to the dugout with Roly Poly and Matcha in his arms.

    Today was the day he promised his sister that he would meet her and gave her some pointers on how to properly utilize her superpowers.

    Zhao Yao was soon on his way towards the dugout. He turned his head towards Roly Poly who sat in the co-driver seat and asked, ¡°Roly Poly, have you fallen in love with life in the dugout? Why did you suddenly volunteer to tag along?¡±

    Roly Poly simply stared wide-eyed at Zhao Yao with his innocent looking face and replied, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao! I must be by your side wherever you go. I feel so scared and lonely when I open my eyes but can¡¯t find you by my side.¡± After saying such mushy stuff, Roly Poly continued his pretense by jumping onto Zhao Yao¡¯sp and constantly rubbed his head against his belly and imed, ¡°From today onwards, I will follow you wherever you go. Roly Poly will be with Zhao Yao forever and ever.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, so obedient?¡± Zhao Yao yed along and stroked the bottom of his chin, ¡°Roly Poly, you¡¯ve be so sensibletely.¡±

    Matcha was observing the entire scene with his arms folded across his chest. He pondered, ¡°What happened to this Roly Poly. Why is he trying to get on stupid Zhao Yao¡¯s good books all of a sudden?¡±

    ...

    Zhao Xue stood at the entrance leading to the hideout. She was extremely fidgety and constantly tucked a lock of hair behind her ears.

    She fondly remembered the date that orange cat had agreed with her. Today was the day the orange cat had promised to guide and teach her how to properly use superpowers.

    ¡°I haven¡¯t seen Lion Head and the rest in such a long time. I wonder how they are doing.¡±

    Just when Zhao Xue was still immersed in her own thoughts, the rocks which had previously stood in her way evaporated into thin air. An orange cat with a golden halo above his head pranced towards her and gestured, ¡°Follow me.¡±

    Her heart pounded as Zhao Xue made eye contact with King George. Cold sweat beaded her forehead as she tried her best topose herself.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao was behind his sister with Roly Poly in his arms. He would never allow Matcha to teach his sister without his supervision. God knew what he would teach if he had free rein to do so.

    Then, they started making their way towards the Vige of Dreams. Being her first visit here, Zhao Xue was enamored by the majestic mountain ranges and the pristine rivers that ran through it. She was at a loss for words as she tried to take in this astounding environment.

    By utilizing his illusion, Zhao Yao had disguised himself as King George and spoke to Zhao Xue, ¡°Even though everything seemed authentic even when you look at it, touch it or even smell it, but none of them are actually real. These are all fake. Hence, do not be too bothered by it.¡±

    ¡°They are fake? Is this the power of illusion?¡± Zhao Xue caught up to Matcha and tried to find out more about it, ¡°Is your power to create illusions?¡±

    Meow! Matcha was engrossed in grooming his fur and simply slid Zhao Xue a nce and did not even bother to reply her.

    A vein popped out in Zhao Yao¡¯s neck as he started eximing at Matcha telepathically, ¡°Stupid cat! Get on your feet! Can you at least pretend like you¡¯re someone noble and mighty?¡±

    Matcha remained indifferent to Zhao Yao¡¯s scolding as he slowly got to his feet. Zhao Yao immediately exined, ¡°This is much moreplicated than the simple illusion that you have in mind. You will understand in the future. Let¡¯s not talk about this. Today, I am going to impart you some basic knowledge on superpower.¡±

    Obviously, Zhao Yao had hoped that his sister would focus all her energies on her academics, instead of wasting her time training her superpower and getting involved in all sorts of battles.

    Even at Zhao Yao¡¯s current level, it was still possible for him to lose his life on the battlefield, let alone an average apostle like his sister.

    However, since his sister had already made up her mind to traverse the world of supercats and superpowers, Zhao Yao was not going to release her into this dangerous world empty-handed. He would never allow his sister to lose her life for such foolish reason.

    Hence, he spent the next half an hour imparting somemon knowledge regarding supercats and apostles to his sister. Then, he continued by advising her, ¡°Lion Head¡¯s ability to change her size instantly is extremely useful. However, it is considered a high offense but low defense ability. In the world of superpower, this is the most dangerous power.¡±

    Zhao Yao continued imparting his wisdom, rued from his half a year dabbling in this magical world. He had condensed his wisdom and experience into the most concise exnation, ¡°In the world of humans, especially the modern societies that we live in, humans do notck offensive powers. Just take a look at your surroundings, household items such as vegetable knifes or even katana, taser, bombs, and missiles have destructive powers that far surpassed supercats¡¯ superpower.

    The results would be the same even if you had qigong or a simple kitchen knife. In fact, a kitchen knife would be superior in the sense that it was easier to wield.

    Conversely, superpowers that have an advantage in our modern world are powers such as teleportation, flight, invisibility. The passive powers provided are far more useful than the abilities that solely provide destructive capabilities.¡±

    As he spoke, Zhao Yao brought Roly Poly to Zhao Xue and ced his paw on her shoulders before instructing her, ¡°Do not resist and try your best to receive this power.¡±

    Zhao Xue shut her eyes and began to feel a strong surge of warm wave spreading from her shoulders to the rest of her body

    ¡°This is the power of invisibility. Try using it.¡±

    By willing the power, she had instantly vanished into thin air. She nced at her body and started beaming from ear to ear, ¡°I am invisible? Haha! From now on, does it mean I can just enter the female toilet whenever I want, free from the prying eyes? Actually, I can do that without the power.¡±

    Zhao Xue shook her head and tried to rid her mind of these evil thoughts. She tried experimenting with the power as her body turned from visible to invisible from time to time. Next, she focused it on her mouth, then her hands, followed by her head.

    Beams of excitement shot out of her eyes as she looked towards King George and asked, ¡°King George, do you have many superpowers?¡± Instantly, the orange cat which seemed fat and useless had be so mysterious and powerful.

    ¡°You really cannot judge a book by its cover. Who would have ever imagined such an ordinary cat to be so powerful and strong?¡±

    Matcha slid Zhao Xue a guarded look and screamed at Zhao Yao telepathically, ¡°Hey, why is this woman staring at me in such a horny manner. Zhao Yao, can you control your sister?¡¯

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao turned a deaf ear to both Zhao Xue¡¯s and Matcha¡¯s questions.

    ¡°Oh, she had picked up this power rather quickly.¡± Zhao Yao thought as she observed her performance, ¡°I guess Zhao Xue is ratherpatible with the power of invisibility.¡±

    Zhao Yao fondly remembered Baiquan¡¯s performance when he first received the power. He even had to hold his breath in order to turn invisible. After months of training and basking his body in the effects of Celestial Beats did he manage to activate this power at Zhao Xue¡¯s level.

    Zhao Yao continued exining as he noticed how much fun Zhao Xue was having with this power, ¡°This invisibility works base on the theory of EM waves. Hence, naked eye and cameras would not be able to capture you. However, your enemies can still detect you if they have weapons equipped with infra-red.¡±

    Zhao Xue chuckled and asked, ¡°Haha, this is already good enough. So what are we going to train next?¡±

    At this moment, Zhao Yao¡¯s ears quivered as a frown appeared on his face, ¡°Hmph, someone has barged into this ce?¡± He instructed Matcha telepathically, ¡°Help me manage the situation here, I¡¯ll be gone for a while.¡±

    Instantly, he had disappeared from the ce, leaving Matcha and Zhao Xue along.

    Zhao Xue stared at this mysterious cat and cocked her head sideways and asked, ¡°So what are going to train next?¡±

    Matcha could feel the beads of sweat umting at the back of his head. He forced a smile on his face before whipping out the phone from his bag and pointed at the Mobile Legends application.

    ¡°Oh?¡± Zhao Xue was taken aback by his gesture and rified, ¡°You want to me y Mobile Legends? However, there¡¯s no signal here.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s paw continually darted across the phone screen in a desperate attempt to stall for time. Suddenly, Zhao Xue¡¯s eyes shone with excitement as she eximed, ¡°Are you trying to get me to learn the battle tactics from Mobile Legends and apply them to my superpower?¡±

    ¡°Erm, my intention was for us to take a break with a game of Mobile Legends and wait for Zhao Yao¡¯s return ...¡±However, Zhao Xue had already excitedly tapped on the application. A thought shed past Matcha¡¯s head, ¡°Zhao Yao, don¡¯t me me. I have tried my best to help your sister. It¡¯s not my fault that she interpreted my words wrongly.¡±

    At the entrance leading to the dugout, the six muscr blokes stood in a straight line as they tried to enter.

    With the tattooed-man, Ah Jie, leading the pack, he led the group down with a phone in his hand, ¡°Boss, we don¡¯t have to fear this cat king¡¯s power with the phone¡¯s camera in my hands.¡±

    The teenager, Ah Shan, who previously apanied Ah Jie in the expedition nodded his head violently and exined, ¡°Yes boss, even though this cat king has an incredible power, it would not hold a candle against us now that we had exposed its weakness.¡±

    The man who was referred to as boss had a beautiful olive skin tone and donned on a tight-fitting ck vest. He was also the owner of the gym. Most people referred to him as Fit Bro.

    It was rumored that Fit Bro had an illustrious career as a Sanshou champion. Coming from a rtively well-to-do family, he had opened a gym since his retirement and had led a fairlyfortable life.

    Since receiving this superpower, his interests in his gym¡¯s business had waned considerably. He had spent the majority of his time training his body and was the buffest man among them.

    Fit Bro nodded along to Ah Jie and Ah Shan¡¯s words but still offered a word of caution, ¡°Do not be over-confident.¡±

    Soon, the six of them had stopped at the cluster of rocks. On the phone¡¯s screen, it was simply an empty alley leading into the depths of the dugout. However, their naked eyes saw the rocks blocking their way.

    The tattooed-man, Ah Jie, tapped the boss on his shoulder and asked, ¡°Fit Bro, what do we do now? Do we just enter?¡±

    Fit Bro shook his head and instantly shot down his idea, ¡°Let¡¯s try to talk first. Resorting to violence is always ast resort. It is a God-given gift for us tomunicate with these supercats. Let¡¯s not squander this opportunity.¡±

    He then took a step forward before announcing, ¡°The supercats of Jiangmen University are you guys inside? I havee here to seek a partnership with you.¡±

    His thunderous bellow echoed down the empty alley. However, there was no reply at all. Fit Bro decided to cut to the chase and shouted, ¡°If you are willing to join me, I will give you RMB 1,000,000 every year. This money will be more than enough for you to buy all the cat food, canned food that the world has to offer!¡±

    Ah Jie and Ah Shan had already grown used to these promises to shower the supercats with an unfathomable amount of wealth. In fact, they had managed to convince a few supercats who had understood the notion of money. Naturally, there were those who still failed to understand the concept of money. They would only resort to violence if that was the case.

    Even though Fit Bro had absolute faith in his abilities to force the supercats to submit to him, he would rather recruit them using a more diplomatic method.

    He was somewhat worried that these cats were unaware of the power money wielded and continued to roar into the alley, ¡°Money can not only buy you food. It can buy you all sorts of necessities that you need. It could be female cats, male cats, bed, beef, fish, phone,ptop, or even your own apartment. With money, you can have anything that you can possibly dream of.

    Among all the apostles in Jiangmen city, I am the strongest and the most generous among them all. If you¡¯re willing to join me, RMB 1,000,00 is just the beginning. Money will just keep rolling into your bank ount. You can do whatever you want in this city.¡±

    Actually, Zhao Yao was hiding in a corner, listening to all that he had to say. Zhao Yao¡¯s body quivered with indignation as he muttered, ¡°D*mn it, so what if you¡¯re rich!¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s, which was cradled in his arms, eyes gleamed with excitement and mumbled, ¡°RMB 1,000,000 a year?¡± His face was brimming with envy as he looked towards Fit Bro who promised him a fortune that he could never imagine. He then slid a condescending re at Zhao Yao and muttered, ¡°Without money, you will look asme as Zhao Yao.¡±

    Zhao Yao then sprang into action after listening to all that they had to say.

    From his eavesdropping, Zhao Yao had understood that they intended to keep 2 men at the foot of the entrance and the remaining four enter with a camera in their hands. They would be attached together with a rope tied to their belly.

    Zhao Yao had no intention to stop them as of yet. Even with their meticulous n, they would still sumb to the illusion that would take away their five senses. Furthermore, he eagerly waited for the exmation marks to appear.

    ¡°Heehee, this involves both apostles and supercats. I¡¯m sure I¡¯ll be able to find a mission amongst them.¡±

    However, after more than half an hour of waiting, Zhao Yao had already grown bored of witnessing the same thing repeat and repeat. They would enter the illusion which robbed them of their senses and faints instantly. Then, the remaining guys would pull them out before the process restarted. However, there were still no exmation marks.

    ¡°These six guys are so persistent and cocky? Haven¡¯t they considered asking other for help?¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin thoughtfully and memories of his encounter with the Japanese flooded his mind. Finally, an idea sprang into his head as he thought, ¡°These six guys need something to stimte them, hmph ... I can use them to experiment with my BOOK and try to identify a pattern.¡± Zhao Yao clenched his fist in excitement as he stared at his sixb rats.

    With the thought at the back of his head, Zhao Yao flicked his finger and sent a wave of illusion swarming across from his body.

    Even though electronic devices were capable of exposing the illusion, Zhao Yao could circumvent the problem by manually casting an illusion on the six individuals. By altering their sense of sight and hearing, what they saw on their phone screen would simply be another illusion.

    In the world of illusion, the six men finally seed in trespassing the dugout. They had sessfully bypassed the area shrouded in darkness and was greeted by a throne illuminated by a tiny oilmp.

    Ah Jie was taken aback by what he saw and instantly hid behind Fit Bro and asked, ¡°Boss, what is that?¡±

    Ah Shan replied calmly, ¡°It looks like an ordinary oilmp.¡±

    A frown appeared on Fit Bro¡¯s face as hemented, ¡°Check using your phone. Everything here might be fake.¡±

    Hence, the six of them whipped out their phone and cross-checked what their eyes saw with what the camera captured. To their surprise, everything was the same.

    ¡°This is real? At the end of theseyers andyers of defense is just an ordinary oilmp?¡± Fit Bro eximed as his body quivered with anger.

    ¡°Look!¡± Ah Jie exined as he pointed his index finger to a region below the oilmp, ¡°There are some words appearing underneath it!¡±

    Suddenly, the words turned into anguage which they couldprehend and it read, ¡°Rub me!¡±

    ¡°Rub the oilmp?¡± Ah Jie had an epiphany and eximed, ¡°Maybe this is the magical oilmp that would fulfill our wishes when we rub it!¡±

    ¡°How is this possible?¡± Fit Bro retorted with his forehead puckered together. He gave a dismissive wave of his hand and grumbled, ¡°This isn¡¯t a fairy tale. Why will there be a magicalmp in the real world? I bet a supercat is behind this. Everyone, look around. Check and see if there are traces of the cat king ...¡±

    After issuing his instruction, the momentary silence was shattered by Ah Shan¡¯s scream as he pointed at the same ce, ¡°Boss, look, it¡¯s another line of words!¡±

    ¡°Rub me! Rub and I will fulfill your wildest fantasies!¡±

    Exultation surged through Ah Jie as he could hardly believe his eyes. He roared, ¡°Magicalmp, it really is a magicalmp. It is calling upon us!¡±

    He immediately dashed forward but was intercepted by Fit Bro¡¯s thick arm, ¡°Do not be rash ... this might be a trap ...¡± Fit Bro still did not believe in the existence of a magicalmp in this world.

    After a round of deliberation, Fit Bro decided to test it out on himself. He reasoned, ¡°Since I am the strongest and fastest among us, I will bring this magicalmp back and conduct a series of checks on it to find out what it actually is.¡±

    Silence enveloped the dugout and Fit Bro took the silence as a form of consent. He slowly ambled towards the magicalmp and cautioned, ¡°Be on your toes, do note too close to me. If anything happens, immediately drag me back!¡±

    The anticipation in the air was palpable as six pairs of eyes were glued to the mysterious oilmp. Fit Bro took a step forward and slowly lifted the oilmp off the tform. Nothing surprising happened throughout the process.

    Ah Jie could not contain his excitement and started jumping up and down, ¡°Boss, should we try and rub it? This might actually be a magical oilmp!¡±

    Fit Bro slid the mysteriousmp a guarded look and cautioned, ¡°This is too creepy. Remember my words, no one is allowed to rub thismp without my permission. We need to bring it back and examine it before we try anything funny.¡±

    However, a thunderous boom exploded in their ears the moment Fit Bro finished his words. Zhao Yao had morphed into amp God and levitated from the oilmp itself. With his eyes staring right into Fit Bro, Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Were you the one who rubbed the magicalmp?¡±

    ¡°F*ck!¡± Fit Bro roared at the top of his lungs and retorted, ¡°I did not rub your f*ckingmp!¡±

    However, Zhao Yao turned a deaf ear to Fit Bro¡¯s ims. In Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes, he was only interested in the exmation mark that was about to appear on top of his head and announced, ¡°I can fulfill three of your wishes. I can make it happen as long as you say it out loud.¡± Zhao Yao was experimenting with this method to identify the underlying pattern behinds these missions. He wanted to test whether he could create andplete his own missions.

    Hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s mp God) voice ring in their ears, the six men¡¯s eyes gleamed with excitement. At the same time, they were still rather wary of this offer that was too good to be true.

    Only Fit Bro managed to maintain hisposure as he whipped out his phone to check for the authenticity of the magicalmp. What he saw on his screen caused his chest to tighten with fear. This magicalmp was real!

    Zhao Yao¡¯s turned grew increasingly impatient as he interrupted, ¡°Are you done thinking yet? What wish do you have?¡±

    Their feelings at that point were a perfect contion of excitement and anxiety. Their lips trembled as they tried to suppress what they wanted to say. Immediately, Fit Bro shot them a death re and warned them, ¡°All of you, shut your mouth.¡± Fit Bro remained rather skeptical of Zhao Yao and used his authority to prevent his subordinates from falling into this trap. He stared at Zhao Yao and announced, ¡°I want to be the richest man in this world.¡±

    Zhao Yao simply rejected him with a dismissive wave of his hand. He replied, ¡°This is too difficult, change it to something else instead.¡±

    ¡°D*mn it!¡± Fit Bro roared with rage as anger seared through him, ¡°Didn¡¯t you promise me that I could ask for any wish?¡±

    ¡°Did you actually take my words for it? Would you trust me if I imed to be your father?¡±

    ¡°This magicalmp is really haughty.¡± Fit Bro gritted his teeth and clenched his fist as anger poured out of his eyes. He thought about it before announcing, ¡°I would like to be the ruler of this country!¡±

    ¡°You?¡± Zhao Yao shot Fit Bro a condescending look and replied, ¡°It is still too difficult,e up with something else.¡±

    Anger rolled through Fit Bro as he exploded, ¡°You can¡¯t do this and can¡¯t do that! So what exactly can you do?¡±

    ¡°Make a guess.¡±

    ¡°F*ck!¡± In his head, Fit Bro was thinking, ¡°This magicalmp just seems so shady and illegitimate. However, if I want to test it, I must ask for something that can instantly be created, something more achievable ...¡± With this thought, Fit Bro announced, ¡°Since I can¡¯t be the richest in the world, how about you make me the richest man in China?¡±

    ¡°This is rather simple.¡± Zhao Yao gave a lopsided smile and snapped his fingers, ¡°Taadaa, you are now the richest man in China.¡±

    Fit Bro expected some magical energy to surge through him but felt none of that. He replied, ¡°But I didn¡¯t feel anything at all, did you transfer the money to my bank ount already?¡±

    Fit Bro turned around and saw his subordinates shaking like a leaf. They struggled to say, ¡°Boss ... boss ... your... your face!¡±

    Fit Bro ran his fingers across his face and was suddenly struck with a frightening realization. He whipped out his phone and saw a stranger¡¯s reflection staring right at him.

    ¡°F*ck!¡± Fit Bro threw his hands in the air and roared, ¡°You simply turned my face to Jack Ma¡¯s face when I asked to be the richest man in China? And you only changed my face, the rest of my body is still the same! What¡¯s the f*cking point of this? And Jack Ma isn¡¯t even the richest man in China!¡±

    Fit Bro just wanted to throw his phone away and removed anything that could remind him of his current face. He shouted at the top of his voice, ¡°I¡¯ll be sued for fraud if I go out like this. Quick, turn me back to my original state!¡±

    Zhao Yao snapped his finger and had reverted Fit Bro to his original appearance, ¡°Alright, I have granted you two wishes. Now, for yourst wish?¡±

    ¡°D*mn it! How is that considered two wishes?¡± Fit Bro¡¯s chest rose and fell with his rapid breaths. He rubbed his hands together in his attempt to quell his urge to punch Zhao Yao. He then spoke, ¡°For myst wish, I would like to ask for three more wishes.¡±

    Bam!

    Zhao Yao¡¯s palm flew across the dugout andnded directly on his cheeks. The p sent Fit Bro flying across the room before colliding with the wall. His head was all fuzzy as he struggled to get on his feet.

    Their jaws dropped when his subordinates witnessed this scene. Fit Bro¡¯s body was the strongest among them all and had far surpassed the human body¡¯s limit. His punch could have easily killed a bull. His speed was even faster than a racing horse. Now, he was thrown across the room, like a baby, by this p.

    Fit Bro¡¯s body swung from left to right as he struggled to get his footing. He steadied himself and yelled at Zhao Yao, ¡°What was that p for?¡±

    ¡°Just listen to the wish that you asked for. Do you take me for a r*tard? Even themp God cannot put up with your nonsense.¡± Zhao Yao shot him another disdainful stare and continued, ¡°Young men, just ask for a horny wish like any other ordinary human would. Stop asking for the moon. Your wish is the most ridiculous one I¡¯ve heard after spending so many years asmp God.¡±

    Fit Bro was surprised to hear that and asked, ¡°There are people before me who had asked for a wish?¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡±

    ¡°Who are they?¡¯

    Zhao Yao instantly made up some names, ¡°Two men with the surname of Ma asked to be China¡¯s richest man. Another with the surname of Wang asked to be the son of China¡¯s richest man. Look, there is a trick behind asking for a wish. Do you think it¡¯s better to be the richest man or the son of the richest man?¡±

    Fit Bro could barely suppress his urge to shower Zhao Yao with a tirade of scolding. However, he had witnessed their disparity in strength from that single p and dared not to try anything funny. Suddenly, he recalled his purpose foring here today.

    Hence, he asked for a new wish, ¡°Can you bring me the cat king of Jiangmen University?¡± Immediately after making his wish, he slid Zhao Yao a guarded stare in case he sent another p flying towards his direction.

    Fit Bro was rather smart. If this entiremotion was caused by the cat king, themp God standing opposite him would not be able to hand the cat king over.

    If not, he could at least achieve his objective for today¡¯s mission ¨C capture the cat king of Jiangmen University.

    Seeing how powerful themp God was, Fit Bro was confident in his abilities to bring him the cat king.

    After Fit Bropleted making his wish, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes beamed with excitement as the familiar sight returned to the top of Fit Bro¡¯s head.

    Consequently, his mission panel had changed ordingly.

    Mission: Capture that cat king!

    Objective: Help Fit Bro capture the cat king Of Jiangmen University.

    Reward: 100 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    Zhao Yao instantly epted the mission but this also got him thinking, ¡°If I¡¯m able to ept this mission and not the first two. Does it mean that the missions must not only be rted to supercats but must be something that I could aplish?¡±

    Meanwhile, Fit Bro¡¯s eyes remained glued to Zhao Yao as he asked cautiously, ¡°Can you grant me this wish?¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head and replied, ¡°Of course, this is too easy!¡± Zhao Yao was overwhelmed with joy and eximed in his head, ¡°Yay, I can finallyplete another mission and earn some points!¡±

    Zhao Yao then snapped his finger and Fit Bro noticed a heavy weight settling into his arms. It was a cat!

    Obviously, it was an image of a cat conjured by Zhao Yao. However, in Fit Bro¡¯s eyes, it was as real as it could get.

    However, Zhao Yao¡¯s mission remained iplete even after doing this.

    Zhao Yao cocked his head sideways as his pupils constricted, ¡°Oh, so I cannot scam him by using illusion? Don¡¯t tell me I have to actually hand a cat into his arms?¡±

    Realizing that he could notplete the mission by simply tricking Fit Bro, Zhao Yao raised his hand in the air and snapped his fingers again. Instantly, the cat in his arms disappeared.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter now?¡± Fit Broined with his forehead puckered together.

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry but I had a mix-up. I¡¯ll go and get you the cat king immediately.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s body disappeared into thin air, leaving the gang of buff blokes alone.

    ¡°...¡±

    ...

    Zhao Xue who sat cross-legged on the grass patch was still experimenting with her powers as her body would turn invisible from time to time. All of a sudden, King George who sat opposite her vanished into thin air.

    ¡°Hey, King George, are you still there?¡±

    With the use of the illusion, Zhao Yaomunicated with her using Matcha¡¯s voice, ¡°I have also turned invisible. Your next phase of training is to locate the invisible me.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Zhao Xue squinted her eyes into a hard line as her eyes swept across the vast green ins. She was bent on locating King George even if it required her to scrutinize every de of grass.

    ...

    Something clouded Fit Bro¡¯s vision momentarily beforemp God re-appeared with a fat orange cat dangling in his hands.

    ¡°This is the cat king of Jianmen University, here you go.¡± Zhao Yao nonchntly threw the cat into Fit Bro¡¯s hands.

    Fit Bro instinctively reached his arms out and barely managed to catch the cat. From the looks of it, it was just an ordinary tabby. However, its eyes were filled with disdain for Fit Bro.

    Fit Bro muttered, ¡°So this is the king cat of Jiangmen University? Its eyes seem rather unique but it doesn¡¯t look strong no matter how I look at it. Do you know what is its ability?¡±

    ¡°How am I supposed to know?¡± Zhao Yao just spouted whatever nonsense that came to his mind. Currently, all his attentions were focused on his BOOK and he was over the moon when he realized that the mission waspleted. He thought, ¡°So this requires me to physicallyplete the mission? Haha, it¡¯s another easy 100*2 experience points earned!¡±

    With this happy thought tucked at the back of his head, Zhao Yao looked towards Fit Bro whose eyes were gleaming with excitement. It was as if he had held a trove of treasure in his hands.

    Matcha maintained his condescending stare at the muscr bloke cradling him in his arms. He thought, ¡°Pretending as amp God? Zhao Yao came to the dugout in the middle of the night for this? How childish can he get?¡±

    Zhao Yao gave a shrug of his shoulders and replied, ¡°What do you know? Just sit tight and watch my performance.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s see if I can create even more missions out of them.¡± Zhao Yao bit on his lower lip and was deep in thought, ¡°Currently, these missions must be something that I can achieve. This means ...¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and asked, ¡°Roly Poly, what is the most painful experience in this world?¡±

    Roly Poly cocked his head sideways and answered, ¡°I read from the inte that a mother can experience up to 57 decibels of pain when giving birth.¡±

    Zhao Yao pictured that scene in his head but continued questioning him, ¡°Is there something that is even more tormenting, something moreplicated and devastating? It must be a traumatizing experience that would force the person to kneel down and beg the Gods for help. Also, it must be something that men can biologically go through.¡±

    Matcha who was cradled in Fit Bro¡¯s arms wriggled out of it and started jumping up and down, ¡°How about you get a man to give birth?¡±

    Zhao Yao was left speechless by Matcha¡¯s nonsense. Suddenly, it dawned on him as Zhao Yao began nodding his head violently, ¡°What Matcha said makes f*cking sense. Matcha, you are a genius!¡±

    With the snap of his finger, a new illusion had been cast.

    Moments after receiving the cat king from themp God, the cat king death-red the tattooed-man.

    Ah Jie felt shivers down his spine and he started tapping Fit Bro¡¯s shoulder, ¡°Boss, I¡¯ve got a feeling that the cat is staring at me.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not lying, just take a look. It really is staring at me!¡± Suddenly, Ah Jie experienced a weird sensation from his belly and he instantly bent his body and clutched his stomach in his arms. There seemed to be an object jumping around in his stomach. Suddenly, his belly expanded.

    Under pairs of watchful eyes, his belly had expanded as if it were a balloon.

    ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± Ah Jie stared dumbfoundedly at his belly as fear crossed his face, ¡°What¡¯s happening to my stomach?¡±

    Zhao Yao tried his best to suppress hisughter, ¡°What do you feel when you are pregnant? Hmph, never mind. I shall rece it with a sensation I¡¯m more familiar with, thebination of diarrhea, appendicitis, and piles erupting simultaneously.¡±

    ¡°Ah!¡± Ah Jie¡¯s shriek echoed down the entire dugout. The remaining blokes were taken aback by his sudden outburst. Fit Bro rushed forward and asked, ¡°Ah Jie, what¡¯s happening?¡±

    ¡°Ahhh!¡± Ah Jie copsed to the floor and started writhing in pain. His belly continued expanding and had soon reached the size of a huge watermelon. Fear clouded his features as he muttered, ¡°I ... I think I¡¯m pregnant.¡±

    Just when everyone was at a loss for what to do, the cat in Fit Bro¡¯s arms swept its eyes across the room and stopped at Ah Shan.

    ¡°Ah Shan, I think the cat is staring at you.:¡±

    ¡°Staring at me?¡± Ah Shan froze on the spot. Suddenly, a trickle of cold sweat flowed down his cheeks as he crumbled to the ground, ¡°What the f*ck is happening?¡±

    Likewise, his belly began expanding at an unprecedented rate.

    ¡°This is the cat¡¯s ability!¡± Someone finally reacted to the situation and eximed, ¡°Whoever this cat makes eye contact with would get pregnant!¡±

    All their blood ran cold as a chill went through their bodies. They stared at this frightening monster and stumbled backward.

    Even Fit Bro¡¯s heart started pounding. His heart was in his throat but he forced a smile on his face and said, ¡°That¡¯s rubbish. How can there be such ame power in this world ...¡±

    Before he could even finish his statement, the cat had already turned its head around and gave Fit Bro a cold hard stare. Panic assailed Fit Bro as he instinctively threw the cat into the air.

    He started touching his stomach and acted all calm andposed, ¡°See, nothing¡¯s happening. I already told you that there was no such power ...¡±

    When he was in the midst of exining, a thunderous explosion erupted from his stomach.

    ¡°Ahhh!¡± Fit Bro¡¯s chest rose as he took in a deep breath. His body immediately copsed to the ground and he was drenched in cold sweat. His reaction was even more exaggerated than Ah Jie and Ah Shan¡¯s.

    Following the simultaneous explosion of piles, diarrhea, and appendicitis, he struggled to evenmunicate. Suddenly, an intense stench emanated from his body.

    Even Zhao Yao was taken aback by the intensity of the smell. He pinched his nose to prevent himself from vomiting. He thought, ¡°Oh no, did I identally incorporate my image of Mango¡¯s diarrhea? This is bad.¡±

    Fit Bro was on the verge of breaking down. His stomach continued expanding, while a wave of literal shit swarmed towards his anus. The pain was unimaginable. He could feel his body being torn apart by the searing pain.

    ¡°Quick! Get a hold of that cat!¡± Fit Bro shook violently like a lunatic and pointed his finger at it. The cat retaliated by sending a death re at each of them. Whenever their eyes met, the muscr bloke would simply take a few steps back in fear.

    ¡°D*mn it, just get hold of it. Stop its power!¡±

    A sh of despair shed across his eyes as Fit Bro witnessed his subordinates falling to the ground, one by one.

    The pain erupting in their bodies rendered them incapable of even moving. Luckily, the orange cat did not bother with a follow-up attack. It simplyid there and groomed itself.

    They dared not imagine what would happen if their eyes met again. Miscarriage? Another baby?

    At this moment, Zhao Yao thought it was time for him to show his face.

    Themp God floated to Fit Bro and whispered into his ears, ¡°What happened? Do you want to make another wish?¡±

    ¡°Lamp God!¡± Fit Bro¡¯s eyes welled up with tears when he saw Zhao Yao. He eximed, ¡°Help me capture that cat! No, get rid of its power acting on my body!¡±

    Zhao Yao took a nce at his head and was disappointed by theck of the golden exmation mark. He scoffed, ¡°No, I do not feel your sincerity.¡±

    Regardless of how badly Fit Bro pleaded, the exmation mark just did not appear.

    However, Zhao Yao had developed a theory in his head, ¡°Other than the first two provisions that require the mission to be rted to supercats and be something achievable. The mission cannot be created or resolved using my illusion! That¡¯s why I failed toplete the first mission!¡±

    Lamp God shook his head and muttered, ¡°This is too dangerous. If I knew that this cat was so dangerous, I wouldn¡¯t even have brought it here. What if I get pregnant when it stares at me?¡±

    Fit Bro was on the verge of turning crazy as he eximed, ¡°So what am I supposed to do?¡±

    ¡°Why not ... just give birth to this baby?¡±

    <h4>Chapter 247: Muscle Madness</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    ¡°No!!!!¡±

    As Zhao Yao¡¯s words rang in their heads, the six buff men screamed in unison, flooding the ce with their ear-splitting yells.

    Fit Bro¡¯s eyes had already been reddened with anger. He slid Zhao Yao a cold hard re and said, ¡°I would rather die than to give birth to a baby.¡±

    Zhao Yao seemed indifferent to his predicament and mocked, ¡°But the baby is your flesh and blood!¡±

    At the same time, Zhao Yao was still busy consolidating all the rules he had learned in order to ept a mission from other people.

    ¡°In order for me to ept a mission using my BOOK, it must be somehow rted to a supercat. Also, it must be something that I can achieve. Lastly, I cannot scam my way using my illusion.¡±

    However, Zhao Yao still had his doubts about thest requirement.

    He understood that he could not tantly use his illusion to create a mission. For example, he can¡¯t use his illusion to conjure a monster to attack his target. The exmation mark would not appear even if the target came running towards him, asking for help.

    Something ticked in his head, ¡°What if the illusion worked in an indirect way. Let¡¯s say I used my illusion to scare my target. Then, my targetes running towards me, asking me to give her a ride home. This would not be considered as using my illusion right?¡±

    Hence, Zhao Yao gave Matcha instructions to leave the ce. The gang of six wanted to give chase but could hardly stand on their feet. All six of them rocked back and forth as their weight constantly shifted from one foot to the other. They were in no shape to run.

    Following the orange cat¡¯s disappearance, their bellies had also begun to shrink. The piercing pain had gradually diminished as well.

    Naturally, a thought sprang into their heads.

    ¡°Maybe this power to impregnate an individual by making eye contact is limited by the physical distance between the caster and the victim?¡±

    With this thought at the back of their heads, they couldn¡¯t help but start smiling.

    However, their relief was short-lived. The orange cat returned and shot all of them a death re. Immediately, the astounding pain returned to haunt them as their bellies expanded again.

    However, this had allowed them to confirm the hypothesis that the power was limited by the physical distance.

    Matcha folded his arms across his chest and asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, are you done ying yet? We need to go back for dinner.¡±

    ¡°Why are you in such a hurry? Just stay here and wait. Furthermore, I¡¯m not ying. I¡¯m working.¡±

    Matcha threw Zhao Yao a condescending look and muttered, ¡°Yeah, even a r*tard can tell that you¡¯re not working.¡±

    Meanwhile, Fit Bro was leading his subordinates as they made their escape. However, the orange cat was hot on their heels. With their pregnant bellies, their current speed was only slightly faster than a turtle. They stood no chance outrunning the cat.

    Zhao Yao, who was disguised asmp God, burst outughing, ¡°I believe this orange cat would like to protect all of you until your delivery date. This is such a heart-warming scene.¡±

    The orange cat stared at Zhao Yao and replied, ¡°Zhao Yao, why are you so happy that others are pregnant?¡±

    Roly Poly was still lying on Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulders as he began fantasizing, ¡°Why do I have the power of invisibility? If I had this power instead, I would be able to impregnate all the beautiful cats around me in an instant. This is the true power to dominate the world!¡±

    Fit Bro could hearmp God¡¯s voice echoing down the alley, but he could not even be bothered to be angry at him. He just shouted at the top of his voice, ¡°Lamp God, quickly get us out of here!¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes! Quickly get us out of this dugout!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m begging you! Just let us out! We are still so young! I don¡¯t wanna give birth at this young age!¡±

    Immediately, six exmation marks simultaneously appeared above their heads. A contented smile found its way up Zhao Yao¡¯s face. Zhao Yao¡¯s expression was identical to a parent who had just reunited with his long-lost son.

    ¡°This is exactly like I hypothesized. I can¡¯t simply use the illusion to create or resolve a problem. Instead, by using an indirect method such as scaring them, I would no longer be constricted by the final stiption!¡±

    Hence, Zhao Yao epted six missions all at once,ting him a total of 120 experience points.

    This amount of experience points was insignificant to Zhao Yao. However, it was still better than nothing.

    Just when they thought that they had sessfully escaped from the orange cat¡¯s evil clutches, Matcha once again appeared in front of them.

    ¡°Why is it in front of us again?¡±

    ¡°No, no. I can feel the fetus moving inside my belly!¡±

    ¡°Lamp God, help us get out of this god d*mn ce!¡±

    For the subsequent hours, Zhao Yao led the six of them running around the college campus endlessly. Their stomach had gone through an infinite amount of expansion and contraction. All six of them were on the verge of breaking down from this torment. Every time they saw Matcha, they would be greeted by a searing pain down their belly.

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin thoughtfully when the exmation marks no longer appeared above their heads. He concluded, ¡°I guess there is a finite amount of mission each individual can provide.¡±

    This series of pregnant runs had given Zhao Yao a total of 600 experience points. Currently, his BOOK read lv4(1828/5000). Joy blossomed within him as he felt the warm fuzzy sensation surging through his body. He was one step closer to leveling up.

    Now, the only task at hand was to get rid of the six of them.

    Usually, Zhao Yao would hand these apostles over to Inspector Ho once he was done with them. However, seeing how generous they were with the experience points, Zhao Yao could not bear to send them there.

    However, he also had no better options.

    Zhao Yao had made up his mind. He made use of his remaining time with them to understand their supercat¡¯s abilities.

    As the gang of six was running for their dear lives, Zhao Yao began interrogating them with a series of questions.

    Using his pretense as amp spirit coupled with the fact that they were all groggy from the incessant running, they offered no resistance and gave up all their information.

    However, what they said caught Zhao Yao by surprise.

    ¡°There is no cap to how strong you can get? The potential for this ability is insane!¡±

    Zhao Yao was simrly taken aback by their rtionship with the supercat. Until now, they had no idea what their supercat looked like.

    They only know that they had received this superpower which granted them the ability to train relentlessly and constantly improve their body strength limitlessly.

    Every time the cat came over to lend them the strength, their visions would turn blurry. By the time they reacted to it, the cat had already disappeared.

    From their exnation, Zhao Yao understood for a fact that the supercat had far surpassed this gang of six in terms of physical strength. It was like an adult toying with a small kid.

    By lending out its power every day, without letting its apostle knows its identity ...

    ¡°This is kinda like harvesting your crops.¡± Suddenly, Zhao Yao¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He realized that the supercat was literally harvesting its crops.

    Zhao Yao recalled his conversation with Roly Poly when he first met him. By lending out their powers, supercats could slowly increase the potency of their superpower. The only downside was that the power only improved by a small margin every time the cat lent it out.

    ¡°This means that the supercat is going around, lending out its power in order to strengthen itself? It is as good as going around to harvest its crops. Or maybe, it is going around to mark its territory.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s heart sank when he realized how long they had been endowed with this superpower.

    Fit Bro, who was the strongest among the six, had only received the power for less than a month.

    It had already been slightly more than half a year since the first supercat awakened. Zhao Yao could only imagine how strong that cat, with the ability to train incessantly, had grown since the first day.

    Not only that, Zhao Yao hypothesized that the cat had leveraged on its ability to spread its sphere of influence. Every apostle which received its power would be equivalent to its subordinate.

    Thiswork of apostles who had received this power was known as Muscle Society ording to Fit Bro. The strength of the group lied in their muscle power.

    Fit Bro and gang¡¯s recent hunt for supercats were also instructions given by his higher-ups.

    If they decided to disobey the instructions, they would be instantly robbed of their superpower. Taking this power away from them was as good as taking away their lives.

    Fit Bro stared at the dugout as fury rushed through his body. Hemented, ¡°We only failed today because of ourck of preparation. We will catch this supercat the next time around. If we fail to do so, we will report to the higher-ups. They would be fascinated by this super-cat. Its power is terrifying!¡±

    Fit Bro turned his head towards themp spirit, only to realize that he had already vanished into thin air.

    ¡°Huh, that son of a bitch is finally gone!¡±

    <h4>Chapter 248: Sneak Attack</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Fit Bro still had his doubts about themp God which magically appeared in the dugout.

    Until now, he still could not confirm his identity. Was he truly a God or just an illusion created by some sort of superpower.

    No matter what, he could finally heave a sigh of relief now that the orange cat and the peskymp God were gone. They had also escaped from their bone-chilling nightmare. He immediately led his subordinates back to the gym as they prepared to report the entire incident to their higher-ups.

    At the same time, Zhao Yao was stalking them in the dark with Roly Poly in his arms and Match perched on top of his head.

    Matcha wagged his tails violently and scoffed, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao! Why do I get this feeling that we have forgotten about something?¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Zhao Yao scratched his head and replied, ¡°Now that you have mentioned it, I do feel that we have forgotten about something. It is something rather important!¡±

    Roly Poly cried at the top of his voice, ¡°We had forgotten to eat! We had not eaten since we left the caf¨¦! I am famished!¡±

    ¡°Hmph, really?¡± Zhao Yao propped his chin on his hand and suggested, ¡°How about that, I¡¯ll bring you guys for supper after stalking them. What would you guys like to have?¡±

    ¡°Salmon!¡±

    Kentucky Fried Chicken!¡±

    ...

    At the same time, Dust Ball was busy feasting on the cat food as she rxed inside the Vige of Dreams. Her peace was disturbed when a deafening scream erupted from outside. It was Zhao Xue shouting.

    Zhao Xue was still in the midst of her search for King George. However, the search was in vain as she screamed, ¡°King George!¡±

    ¡°King George! Where are you?¡±

    ¡°Alright, I admit defeat! I cannot find you!¡±

    ¡°Can you let me out of this ce? I am almost past my curfew already!¡±

    Dust Ball knew that all the supercats had returned to her belly. She licked her lips as she carefully observed Zhao Xue who was lost in this beautiful ce. Suddenly, a devious smile crept up her face.

    Meow!

    ¡°King George?¡± Zhao Xue immediately turned her head around and looked towards the source of the meow, ¡°King George, is that you?¡±

    Meow!

    Zhao Xue immediately gave chase and went in the direction of the meows.

    ...

    Zhao Yao had followed the gang of six all the way back to their gym.

    Zhao Yao was not going to let them off now that he knew about the existence of Muscle Society.

    Firstly, there were bound to be many apostles working for this organization. In Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes, they were simply acres of crops, waiting for him to harvest. He would never let these troves of experience slip through his fingers.

    Next, this superpower allowed its apostles to train relentlessly and defy human¡¯s limits. This was a power that Zhao Yao craved for. Just the thought of it could make Zhao Yao green with envy.

    Zhao Yao began fantasizing thebination of this power alongside Celestial Beats, ¡®Three is better than two¡¯, and his BOOK¡¯s new powers. Zhao Yao would instantly be invincible. He was going to be a one-man wrecking crew.

    Hence, his primary objective was to locate the other apostles working under the organization and earn some experience points from them. Next, he hoped to recruit the supercat under him.

    After confirming the location of the gym, Zhao Yao had instructed Roly Poly to turn him invisible. Zhao Yao then channeled to Matcha¡¯s power in case anything disastrous happened.

    Based on Fit Bro¡¯s exnation, the supercat would visit every day to lend them the power. Theirmunication was restricted to the most rudimental pen and paper.

    Hence, Zhao Yao decided to try his luck and wait here. Maybe, he had a chance to meet this supercat.

    ¡°D*mn it, Zhao Yao! How long are we going to wait for?¡± Matcha retorted as he mmed his paw against Zhao Yao¡¯s calf, ¡°No dinner, no Mobile Legends! How am I supposed to survive without the two of them?¡±

    Roly Poly jumped at the opportunity to impress Zhao Yao by saying, ¡°It¡¯s okay, Zhao Yao. You can allow Matcha to return home for dinner. I¡¯ll just keep youpany down here.¡±

    Matcha slid Roly Poly a cold, cold re. He thought, ¡°This maniptive fat cat, are you trying to y mind games with me? Are you trying to pretend to be a goody-goody cat in front of Zhao Yao?¡±

    Roly Poly showed no signs of fear as he began sniggering, ¡°Stupid cat, so what if you have a strong ability? At the end of the day, humans are only interested in obedient cats. Hahaha, before long, I will rece you as Zhao Yao¡¯s favorite cat!¡±

    Instead, Zhao Yao just pped both the cats on the back of their heads and said, ¡°Alright, stop moving! I¡¯ll treat you guys to something good after today¡¯s mission.¡±

    Zhao Yao began to walk around the gym aimlessly. He was surprised by the six men¡¯s behavior. After returning, they immediately buried their bodies in the machines and began working out. Fit Bro did the exact same thing after taking a short shower to freshen up. They had no intention to take a break.

    Actually, the six of them were drowning in frustration after witnessing the strength of the orange cat and themp God. Initially, they thought that they would be invincible by devoting all their energies to training their bodies.

    However, they had a harsh reality check after today¡¯s encounter. They could offer no resistance against the pair of cat and pseudo-God.

    Hence, they channeled all their frustration and anger into motivation. They started to train harder and harder, especially Fit Bro. He lifted a 200kg barbell off the floor and started doing bench press non-stop. His chest muscles would contract and expand with every movement he made. From Zhao Yao¡¯s angle, his muscles looked like a cobra slithering around his chest.

    ¡°These guys are f*cking strong. If I had to resort to a one on one fist fight, I would have been annihted by them.¡± Zhao Yao stared at their training and regarded it as a foreshadowing of what he could achieve.

    The effects on Zhao Yao would be even more significant considering the fact that Zhao Yao could upgrade his supercat¡¯s abilities. If he managed to recruit this cat, the results would be unfathomable.

    Just when Zhao Yao was busy living in his fantasy world, he noticed something strange going on.

    The tattooed-man Ah Jie picked up a towel and came to Fit Bro¡¯s side as he began wiping the sweat off of his body. His palm would identally brush across Fit Bro¡¯s gigantic chest and he would whisper in his ears, ¡°Fit Bro, your chest seems to have gotten even bigger.¡±

    ¡°Ah Jie, if you continue training relentlessly like me, you can also reach my size one day.¡± Fit Bro seemed to be enjoying the attention Ah Jie showered him with. He continued, ¡°Wait for me, I¡¯ll be done with this set soon. Later, we¡¯ll take a shower together and you can give me a full body deep-tissue massage. I am exhausted from today¡¯s mission.¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡± Ah Jie beamed from ear to ear and replied, ¡°Fit Bro, how do you like my brand new exercise singlet?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not bad, but it¡¯s not tight enough.¡±

    Zhao Yao could not help but shivered as he eavesdropped on their conversation. He thought, ¡°I never expected the two of them to be ...¡±

    While Zhao Yao was immersed in those thoughts, a gust of wind appeared out of nowhere and mmed into the back of his head.

    A deafening st exploded and it felt like a thunder had split Zhao Yao¡¯s body into halves.

    Zhao Yao could only let out a deafening shriek as he felt an enormous amount of strength flooding into his body, rupturing the organs with him. The insane force sent him flying off as his body tore through threeyers of walls and hended amongst bs of concrete and office tables.

    Matcha and Roly Poly immediately went up to Zhao Yao and surrounded him. Zhao Yao struggled to get on his feet when he vomited a pool of blood.

    ¡°D*mn it, someone managed to sneak an attack on me.¡±

    Zhao Yao had never expected this to ur now that his observation skills had been heightened with ¡®Three is better than two¡¯. He was trembling with fury as he concluded, ¡°This must be some sort of god-like sneaking power.¡±

    At the same time, themotion had also caught the six men¡¯s attention. They immediately threw their dumbbells on the floor and rushed forward to take a look. Their foreheads furrowed slightly as they stared in Zhao Yao and the cat¡¯s direction.

    Its body was simply a giant mass of muscle with not a single strand of fur. That was a sphynx cat.

    Its body size had far surpassed any cats that Zhao Yao had seen in his life. Layers andyers of muscles bulged out of its body like a cat infused with steroids. However, the cat was as silent as a rat when it walked across the floor. It had the perfect culmination of speed and strength.

    The cat elegantly made its way out of the shadows and stopped at where Zhao Yao previously stood at. It took a few sniffs and seemed like it had detected Zhao Yao¡¯s scent. It was hard to imagine that the cat was capable of producing such an enormous strength that sent Zhao Yao flying off.

    The six of them were in awe of its deadly speed and monstrous strength.

    When the cat¡¯s eyes swept past them, it felt as if an assassin¡¯s dagger had just slid across their necks. For a moment, they could not help but felt that they had lost control over their own lives.

    The Sphynx cat continued taking a few sniffs and noticed Zhao Yao who was struggling to get on his feet but continued to vomit blood. The cat thought, ¡°I knew I detected a rat¡¯s smell. So it¡¯s the power of invisibility? However, I¡¯m afraid I had already torn his organ to pieces with that strike. He is either dead or crippled.¡±

    Then, the Sphynx cat¡¯s eyes stopped at Matcha and Roly Poly and said, ¡°That guy is useless. The both of you can follow me instead.¡±

    The effects of its powers were not limited to its growth in strength. Through its relentless training, the Sphynx cat had also obtained an unmatched speed and agility. Even its sense of sight, smell and hearing had been heightened to an unbelievable level.

    Currently, its sensory skills were almost ten times as strong as Zhao Yao¡¯s.

    The Sphynx cat had redefined what it meant to be a cat through its perpetual training since it had awakened. Its strength had far surpassed what the human mind imagined possible.

    Even with its monstrous strength, the sphynx was still extremely cautious and preferred not to reveal its identity. It would lurk in the shadows, and carefully observed its surroundings. It would only act in the dark, umte its strength and harvest its power from its apostles.

    With its superior agility and dexterity, the Sphynx cat had sessfully infiltrated the gym without alerting anyone to its existence. Initially, its purpose of the visit was solely to lend Fit Bro and his subordinates its superpower. However, during the process of sneaking into the gym, it had detected a new presence inside the gym with its superior sense of smell.

    With its superb body control, it had crept up to Zhao Yao¡¯s side and managed tond a fatal blow on him without him even recognizing its existence until it was all toote.

    It was not stunned by the devastation of its single strike. That blow almost single-handedly killed Zhao Yao. The Sphynx cat simply stared coldly at Zhao Yao as he was writhing in pain.

    Initially, Zhao Yao did not even recognize the severity of his injuries. However, a sudden searing pain erupted from his chest as a surge of blood gushed out of his mouth. At that point, he panicked.

    This was the first time he had actually experienced this level of fear since earning his superpower. He knew that he wouldnd at the gates of hell if hemitted another mistake.

    A new wave of blistering pain scorched through his body and flooded his mind. His chest began to rise and sink rapidly as Zhao Yao struggled to gasp for breath. The strength evaporated from his body and he knew that he was going to faint at any moment.

    Matcha and Roly Poly crowded over Zhao Yao and began screaming at him at the top of their voice. Zhao Yao only chose to channel Matcha¡¯s power because of his passive ability, Time Distortion.

    Time Distortion, ording to the description on his BOOK, allowed the user to bend the space-time dimension and endowed them the ability to traverse across time frames. However, in Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes, the power only meant one simple thing- the ability to heal all injuries and revive the dead.

    However, Zhao Yao dared notmit suicide even though the thought had crossed his mind. Hence, he had not tested the power until now.

    Even though he had yet to put this power to the test, Zhao Yao had always preferred channeling Matcha¡¯s power for this passive ability. In case someone managed to sneak an attack on him, this trump card would allow him to escape with his dear life.

    At this moment, waves of pain and fear continued surging across his entire body, rendering him incapable of even moving. Left with no options, he immediately activated Matcha¡¯s Time Distortion.

    Originally, the Sphynx cat ambled forward in order to deal Zhao Yao the finishing blow. However, it was caught by surprise as Zhao Yao¡¯s pupils suddenly constricted. The Sphynx cat immediately took a few steps back in response.

    Within that split second, there was an almost palpable feeling of anger in the air which surged from Zhao Yao¡¯s body.

    ¡°What happened? This apostle ... I¡¯m sure he was already on the verge of dying ...¡±

    While the Sphynx cat was still engrossed in its own thoughts, Zhao Yao had already levitated into the air. Zhao Yao slid it a death re as a vein popped out across his forehead. Anger roared through Zhao Yao as his body shook with fear. His eyes were brimming with a mixture of emotions ¨C fear, apprehension and definitely anger.

    ¡°I almost died ...¡±

    ¡°No ... ¡± Zhao Yao could feel the goosebumps popping all over his body as his hair stood on end. He thought, ¡°No, I did die once already. It¡¯s just that I had revived.¡±

    Zhao Yao had never felt so emotional before as a flux of emotions swept over him. This was the first time he had ever encountered death face to face.

    When Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes met with the Sphynx cat¡¯s eyes, a mixture of fear and anger overwhelmed him before instantaneously exploding into an outburst of strength.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s current behavior was simr to a soldier¡¯sst fight in his dying breath or when a prey was struggling for its life when staring at its predator¡¯s face.

    ¡°You want to kill me?¡± Zhao Yao screamed at the top of his lungs before he instantly tapped on the ¡®Power Up Card¡¯.

    The ¡®Power Up Card¡¯ would provide Zhao Yao a much-needed power boost in a battle but it would cost him one diamond.

    Zhao Yao had learned about this card¡¯s effect since the day he could ess diamond hall. However, he had never required to use it and was saving it for a life-threatening scenario. Previously, he had always thought that his power alone would be sufficient to defeat all his opponents.

    However, at the current moment, Zhao Yao had been triggered by his near-death experience. Actually, fear might be a more urate exnation for his current behavior. Zhao Yao instantly tapped on the card without hesitation as he activated his power with the strongest defensive potential. Deflective Field!

    Only one thought ran through his mind at this moment. He wanted to annihte the cat, who almost send him to the depths of hell, within the shortest time.

    Bam!

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao experienced an extraordinary amount of strength surging through his body all of a sudden. At the same time, a countdown timer had also appeared in his vision. The timer started counting down from ten minutes.

    Zhao Yao who had activated the Power Up Card and focused all his attention on the deflective field. The field was instantly enveloped in a golden shield which shot out beams of golden light rays into the surroundings. The originally invisible deflective field had transformed into a golden dome in a mere second. Meanwhile, Zhao Yao, Roly Poly, and Matcha were safely hidden inside it. From the outside, you could only see their shadows hovering about.

    ¡°You want to kill me?¡±

    ¡°I suggest you go to hell first!¡±

    ¡°Go to hell, you piece of shit!¡±

    His current retaliation stemmed from human¡¯s inherent fear of death. He did not even bother contemting about what power to use or what battle formation to adopt.

    There was only one thing going through his head.

    He wanted to bring it down using his strongest, craziest and faster ability. He just wanted to shred the sphynx cat into pieces.

    Suddenly, the golden dome started morphing and transforming into human¡¯s most instinctual and primitive weapon -the human fist.

    The moment Zhao Yao unleased his golden deflective field, the Sphynx cat could clearly feel the anger emanating from him. Following Zhao Yao¡¯s deafening battle roar, the golden fist came flying towards the cat and smashed into it.

    Bam!

    With its superb sensory skills, the Sphynx cat could detect the punch piercing through and crushing the air particles as it flew across the office. The cat retaliated with a thunderous meow. Instead of dodging or hiding, it decided to embrace the attack head-on. It bolted towards the punch and its body was encapsted in a faint white wave. From afar, it looked like a missile charging against this blinding golden fist.

    Bam!

    The insane impact had instantly vaporized the golden fist. Likewise, the Sphynx cat was thrown into the air as its body mmed into twoyers of solid concrete as it found itself in the basement. The attack had left a huge crater in the middle of the office.

    Matcha stared dumbfoundedly at the scene and could hardly believe his eyes. He thought, ¡°What the f*ck, is this Zhao Yao¡¯s Bankai?¡±

    Roly Poly was simrly taken aback by this monstrous strength, ¡°I didn¡¯t imagine his Bankai to be so strong.¡±

    The Sphynx cat¡¯s eyes reddened as the muscles all over its body began expanding at an extraordinary rate. With a deafening st, it hadunched its body against the golden figure.

    Before the cat even managed to move out of the basement, the golden figure had already mmed it back into the basement.

    Following another booming roar, dozens of golden arms appeared behind Zhao Yao. He looked exactly like the thousand-armed deity.

    Anger poured out of Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes as his body locked with rage as he continued pushing his deflective field beyond its limit.

    ¡°D*mn it, you still want to kill me? Go to hell, you son of a bitch!¡±

    Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

    His golden fist flew across the ceiling like a meteor shower falling against the night sky. The golden fists collided with the steel column, gym equipment, tables, chairs and the pipes, sting them into pieces. The lightning and air conditioning unit hanging in the ceiling crashed into the cat¡¯s body.

    Matcha¡¯s body shook like a leaf as he muttered, ¡°This is frightening. We can never afford to offend Zhao Yao in the future. This guy is scary when he is really angry.¡± Roly Poly, who stood by his side could only nod his head to Matcha¡¯s words.

    The three-storied gym looked like it had been flooded with a wave of bombs. Just the impact of the collision between the golden light rays and the air particles could have easily knocked an ordinary human unconscious.

    With the huge crater in the middle of the floor, there was no more steel column to support the building. The gang of six immediately scurried to the corner and headed towards the stairs. Their heads were still groggy from the previous explosion when another thunderous boom exploded.

    This time, the entire third floor copsed and crashed into the second floor. However, the barrage of attacks by the golden fists did not stop, sending the sphynx cat further underground.

    When the six of them turned their heads around to survey their surroundings, everything had disappeared. Following the ceaseless explosions which engulfed the ce, all that was left were the debris from the destruction and the crater leading directly to the basement. From theyer of dust which umted in the air, a golden figure emerged from it, with thousands of golden arms behind his body

    Fit Bro and his gang could not believe their eyes as all that remained from the three-story building was the leftover rubble.

    From time to time, nking sounds would erupt from the ruins as vases and pots crashed onto the floor.

    Shivers ran down their spines as their eyes darted from the rubble towards the golden figure floating mid-air. They gave one another a nce and did not even dare to move an inch.

    A wave of thoughts swept through his head and he could not believe that there was this monster lurking in the shadows of his gym. Just the thought of it could make him shudder with fear.

    His eyes swept across the ce and stopped at the Sphynx cat. Looking at its bulging muscles and vascr body, Fit Bro had concluded that this was the supercat that had endowed them with the power.

    Originally, they had regarded this supercat which had limitless potential with god-like admiration. To him, this cat was invincible. However, it was currently getting pummeled by this golden figure which sent it further underground.

    They stared nkly at this scene as the cat, which they had revered, could not even hold a candle against this person. They had no idea how to make sense of this world.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao stared at his feet and observed the gym which had been destroyed by his rampage. His eyes nced towards the basement and his heartbeat grew faster and faster. His chest rapidly sunk and fell. He remained at the peak of his emotional outburst.

    The entire process which started with the sneak attack and ended with his rampagested for less than two minutes. As Zhao Yao continued venting all his build-up frustration and anger in hopes of destroying everything in front of him, he had slowly regained his calmness.

    He finally realized the magnitude of his destruction. Nothing was left behind except for the crater which led directly to the underground basement. Zhao Yao¡¯s first reaction was to utter, ¡°D*mn it, I¡¯m really strong.¡±

    Immediately, he was overwhelmed with fear as he thought, ¡°Is that d*mn cat still alive?¡± Zhao Yao still could not get rid of his fear towards the Sphynx cat even after this round of trouncing.

    The memories of the Sphynx cat¡¯s toughness remained freshly imprinted in Zhao Yao¡¯s head. He could still vividly picture the sneak attack from the shadows, the instantaneous explosive strength which swarmed over him like a tsunami and how it managed to stand its ground when pelted by his insane deflective field.

    These assassins with such strong mental and physical toughness were Zhao Yao¡¯s worst opponents. Furthermore, he had just used his Time Distortion ability. This meant that there were no more second chances.

    Even though the Sphynx cat was overwhelmed by Zhao Yao¡¯s final barrage of attacks, Zhao Yao was still not confident of taking it down if it resorted to a hand to handbat. Even 10 of him would not be able to take the cat down.

    Even until this moment, Zhao Yao remained extremely alert.

    His decision to maintain his heightened state of awareness was the correct decision made.

    The silence was punctured by an earsplitting st as the debris from the ruins exploded into the sky by an enormous force. A ck line appeared across the sky and went straight for Zhao Yao.

    Even though Zhao Yao¡¯s body condition was far inferior to the Sphynx cat¡¯s, his nervous reaction had far surpassed that of an ordinary human with ¡®Three is better than two¡¯. He instantly reacted to this attack. Dozens of golden palm zoomed forward, shielding his face from the attack.

    The moment the ck shadow made contact with his golden hands, another ck shadow appeared from the ruins. It was like a bolt of lightning which cut across the night sky before descending to Fit Bro and his subordinate¡¯s side.

    Meanwhile, the collision between the b of rubble with the golden deflective field shredded it into pieces as its remains showered across the area.

    Actually, the Sphynx cat had thrown the rubble into the air as a distraction and used the opportunity to escape from the basement.

    Even though it managed to sessfully escape, the Sphynx cat was currently in a bad shape. Its body was covered with bruises from the previous encounter. One of its eyes was closed shut as a trickle of blood flowed down from it. One of its hind legs was broken as it limped towards Fit Bro. It could barely even stand on its feet.

    However, its strong body had given it an astounding speed. It only stopped in front of Fit Bro for a split second before it disappeared along with him.

    When the Sphynx cat and Fit Bro simultaneously disappeared, three golden palms descended from the sky and came crashing towards their previous position. Following the thunderous boom, arge portion of the exterior wall had been destroyed. His subordinates who stood around them also flew into the air.

    ¡°Trying to escape?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes squinted into a line as he instantly identified the cat¡¯s intention, ¡°Hmph, trying to bring someone along?¡±

    Matcha shouted, ¡°Restrain it, Zhao Yao! Don¡¯t you have an ability that can restrain an individual?¡±

    Zhao Yao curled his lips and replied, ¡°A hard carry does not need a power that stuns his opponent. He just needs dps.¡±

    Zhao Yao had considered channeling Matcha or Elizabeth¡¯s abilities. However, Zhao Yao was still not a qualified warrior. Aspared to harnessing a greater offensive power, he would rather retain his life. With just one life left, Zhao Yao did not dare to switch his power and chase this dangerous supercat.

    However, Zhao Yao still had some tricks up his sleeve to catch up to the Sphynx cat. Immediately, streams of airwaves exploded from his back. By utilizing thew of action-reaction, the deflective field encapsting Matcha, Roly Poly and himself propelled forward towards the Sphynx cat¡¯s direction.

    Zhao Yao knew that he could not let it go. Firstly, he had unfinished business with the Sphynx cat. Secondly, the Sphynx cat currently had Fit Bro with it. Fit Bro held much important intel about supercats in Jiangmen University. Even though some information was inurate, Zhao Yao dared not take any risk.

    His body was encapsted in a golden glow as he bolted towards the supercat with Roly Poly and Matcha by his side. Golden sword aura erupted from his body and went straight for the Sphynx cat.

    Zhao Yao had finally ovee his initial fear and was no longer acting out of his primitive instincts. Instead of relying on his fist, he resorted to a more technical approach by using his sword auras. This was obviously more powerful and destructivepared to his first attack.

    However, if he had used the sword auras earlier, Zhao Yao was sure the Sphynx cat would not have retaliated with a head-on approach.

    Furthermore, the sword auras would not have caused as much destruction to the surroundings. This would have given the Sphynx cat and upper hand, by providing it ample space to maneuver. The battle would not have ended in Zhao Yao¡¯s favor.

    Maybe Zhao Yao¡¯s instinctual choice of using his fist was actually the best decision he made.

    However, there was a possibility the sword auras would be able to take the Sphinx cat by surprise and deal an extraordinary damage on it.

    This was the crux of the battle between superpowers. Regardless of how strong you were, the strategies you employed would result in vastly different oues.

    Whizz! Golden sword auras sliced across the night sky and continued charging towards the Sphinx cat.

    However, the Sphynx cat was truly too fast and too nimble. Just now, it didn¡¯t even manage to disy the magnitude of its maximum speed inside the narrow office. Now that it was outdoors, its movement was as fast as a shooting star as its body darted along the residential areas and the alleys. Until now, none of Zhao Yao¡¯s word auras hadnded on it.

    With its speed advantage, the Sphynx cat had slowly widened its gap between Zhao Yao and itself.

    ¡°Never mind.¡± Zhao Yao grew increasingly calm as he continued giving chase. ¡°Its body had already suffered heavy damage from my attack. It would not be able to maintain this insane speed for long.¡±

    One superhuman chased after a supercat. Both traveled at warp speed. Zhao Yao¡¯s blinding golden rays had attracted the attention of the residents.

    The Sphynx cat detoured when it noticed that its path had been blocked by the sword auras. Finally, it stopped at the entrance to the alley and carefully ced Fit Bro there.

    Zhao Yao muttered, ¡°Has it finally decided to stop running?¡± Even though Zhao Yao was not entirely sure of its intention, he simply reacted with a flick of his fingers. Instantly, dozens of sword auras sliced through the air and went straight for it.

    An extraordinary scene ensued. Against the storm of sword auras, the Sphynx cat managed to dodge them by executing a series of dance-like moves. Each move was so fast yet so strong, crushing the concrete floor beneath it, leaving behind only its shadows. Not only did it manage to evade the attacks, it even managed to inch towards Zhao Yao.

    However, there seemed to be an infinite number of sword auras appearing out of thin air. The Sphynx cat was getting suppressed by the onught as there was less and less space for it to maneuver around. More and more cuts and shes appeared across its body. However, it remained unfazed.

    At this moment, following themotion caused by their battle, Zhao Yao heard a distinct sound approaching them ¨C the police siren.

    ¡°So fast?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead furrowed slightly and could not believe his ears. Even though he knew that the police were bound to appear after the racket that they had created, he had never expected them to be so efficient.

    He nced at the countdown timer and realized that he was left with three minutes. This Sphynx¡¯s cat¡¯s body was too strong and too tough. An ordinary human would have already died umpteen times when ravaged by this attack. Yet, the cat still managed to bounce around as if it were perfectly healthy.

    ¡°Thankfully I didn¡¯t squander away my diamonds on the ¡®2X Exp Card¡¯. After using one, I still had four remaining with me. This means that I could possibly use the ¡®Power Up Card¡¯ for the next 40 minutes. However, that¡¯s not feasible ...¡±

    The Sphynx Cat¡¯s eyes gleamed when it noticed the police siren. Instantly, it mmed all four paws against the ground as an enormous force erupted from the ground. It was as strong as an earthquake. The impact threw Fit Bro off his foot as he crashed into the floor.

    The Sphynx Cat¡¯s body bolted forward after producing the massive force. It had almost gone past theyers of sword auras but was ultimately stopped by one of it.

    ¡°I cannot drag this any longer.¡± Zhao Yao let out a sigh as the sword auras which flooded the sky vanished into thin air. He had chosen a risky move by channeling Matcha¡¯s power as the entire world went to a standstill.

    ¡°30 Seconds!¡± After channeling Matcha¡¯s power, Zhao Yao realized that he could stop time for up to 30 seconds after activating the ¡®Power Up Card¡±.

    He immediately dashed forward and sent a barrage of punches into its body at twice his normal speed. This was followed up with a torrent of kicks all over his body. However, he had not brought any weapons along, but he managed tond a st of attacks on the Sphynx Cat for a total of 20 seconds which included poking its eye and kicking its groin.

    Even Matcha came forward to lend a helping hand as he started biting the cat¡¯s butt.

    For the remaining 5 seconds, Zhao Yao decided to use this chance to escape. With Roly Poly and Matcha in his arms, he managed to run a few hundred meters before time resumed.

    Bam! An infinite number of explosions erupted on its body. However, it only managed to leave a frown on Sphynx Cat¡¯s face and failed to deal any significant damage.

    ¡°D*mn it!¡± Zhao Yao tried to process the situation during the time freeze and managed to gain a deeper understanding of how sick the Sphynx Cat truly was. It had ayer of invisible membrane on its eye, shielding it from any attacks. Also, it even managed to retract its genital into its body.

    Furthermore, its entire body was coated with ayer of muscles that were as tough as steel and could withstand the impact of a building copsing onto it. Naturally, Zhao Yao¡¯s punches and kicks were rendered futile.

    Hence, when Zhao Yao tried to channel Ares¡¯s power when time resumed, the Sphynx Cat had already bolted forward and sent its razor sharp ws into Zhao Yao¡¯s face, narrowly missing by a few centimeters. It was once again deflected by the sword auras of the deflective field.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°How is this even a cat? Is this a product of pure training? It is a mutant!¡±

    Dozens of sword auras failed tond a single strike against the Sphynx Cat. Zhao Yao could hear the police siren catching up to them. Hence, he gritted his teeth and swap to Elizabeth¡¯s power.

    The illusion started the moment the golden beams of light vaporized.

    With the effects of ¡®Power Up Card¡¯ in y, the effects of the illusion had been stretched to a radius of 500 meters. It had instantly robbed the Sphynx Cat of its five senses.

    However, the result was entirely different from before. Instead of crashing into the floor, the Sphynx Cat remained standing on the floor,pletely intact. It only stopped moving.

    ¡°It can still stand? Is this the body¡¯s instincts supporting it? Its body is really too strong.¡±

    Zhao Yao understood that the illusion only robbed the brain¡¯s ability to perceive the surroundings and receive feedback from the body. However, it did not actually sever the connection between the brain and the body.

    If the body was truly strong enough, it could still maintain some basic movements. It was like how the heart continued to beat even when the individual was robbed of his five senses.

    However, what kind of body did it take for one to achieve this? This meant that the individual could continue fighting even if he was semi-unconscious.

    While Zhao Yao was still deep in his thoughts, the Sphynx Cat¡¯s ear started shuddering as its ears closed together like how an elephant cover its ear canal using its ear.

    A sh of concentration shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes as he reacted to the situation, ¡± D*mn it! This guy can detect infrasound! This means that ... its body had already transformed until it was capable of utilizing the sixth sense.¡±

    Elizabeth¡¯s illusion was not invincible. It worked by utilizing the propagation of sound waves that human ears¡¯ failed to pick up. However, you could resist the illusion once you could block these sound waves.

    It was also possible if the individual had surpassed the state of five senses and had a good grasp of its sixth sense. In this case, the individual would also be unaffected by Elizabeth¡¯s illusion.

    The Sphynx Cat had already bolted towards Zhao Yao the moment its ears started twitching as its razor-sharp ws were an inch away from Zhao Yao¡¯s neck. However, it finally stopped.

    A red glimmer shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes as he felt his heart skipped a beat, ¡°Thank goodness it is still affected by Elizabeth¡¯s control.¡±

    ¡°Finally ... I have finally managed to subdue this guy.¡±

    Just when Zhao Yao was about to heave a sigh of relief, a ck figure emerged and a human shadow materialized next to him.

    ¡°There¡¯s one more person? That¡¯s why it managed to remain so calm throughout the entire battle! There¡¯s one more apostle that has been ambushing me!¡± A vicious aura had locked its sight onto Zhao Yao¡¯s body. Not only did it have the power of instantaneous teleportation which allowed it to teleport behind Zhao Yao. The punch that he threw at Zhao Yao was almost as strong as the Sphynx Cat¡¯s.

    The ck shadow¡¯s punch inched towards Zhao Yao and punctured the air particles in its surrounding. The roars of wind produced by the sheer force of the punch managed to rip Zhao Yao¡¯s shirt into pieces.

    Zhao Yao knew that he would instantly die if the punch managed to hit him.

    ¡°An apostle can only borrow one superpower at any one time. How can this apostle teleport behind me and produce a punch that could instantly kill any humans?¡±

    At that moment, Zhao Yao¡¯s head began processing all these information at warp speed, ¡°Yes ... It is because of Sphynx Cat¡¯s superpower of training. Even without that power, the apostle still retained his body which had benefitted from Sphynx Cat¡¯s power.

    Without the superpower of training, the apostle would no longer grow any stronger ... hence ... its apostle could use this superpower during their regr training and equip themselves with another superpower during an actual fight!¡±

    Within that one second, an infinite amount of information whizzed across Zhao Yao¡¯s head.

    Zhao Yao finally understood what was happening. All this time, the apostle had been hiding in the shadows, waiting for Zhao Yao to reveal its weakness. Just now, he did not act when Zhao Yao was channeling Matcha¡¯s power because the time frame was too narrow for him to act.

    While Zhao Yao was channeling Elizabeth¡¯s power, this was the golden opportunity for the apostle to fight. He intended to kill Zhao Yao with this single strike.

    This pair of cat and human was something Zhao Yao had never expected, be it their physical strength, mental toughness or even how ruthless they acted.

    Elizabeth¡¯s illusion would not be able to stop this fatal blow. With the apostle hiding behind Zhao Yao away from his eyes, Zhao Yao was simrly unable to control him using Elizabeth¡¯s power.

    Furthermore, time freeze remained on cooldown.

    Hence, this left Zhao Yao with only one option ¨C to change to another power.

    Zhao Yao screamed at the top of his lungs in his head, ¡°Deflect! Deflect! Deflect!¡±

    ¡°Deflective Field! Come out now!¡±

    During his training, Zhao Yao had calcted the time required for him to switch his powers. It took approximately 0.1 to 0.2 seconds.

    Normally, this amount of time would be insignificant in anyone¡¯s eyes. However, times were different. Currently, an extraordinary human had sent his most powerful punch hurling into Zhao Yao¡¯s back. The time difference of 0.1 to 0.2 seconds could easily be the difference between life and death.

    ¡°D*mn it! Roly Poly! Use your power of invisibility to scare him!¡± Matcha had also reacted to the apostle¡¯s ambush and roared at the top of his voice.

    Immediately, Zhao Yao¡¯s body gave a violent shudder as the muscles and flesh in his body all evaporated. What was left were simply his bones.

    A normal human had instantly turned into a set of skeletons.

    Even the apostle was taken aback by the skeleton¡¯s sudden appearance as fear splintered his heart. Subconsciously, he had already slowed down his punch.

    However, this had bought Zhao Yao just enough time for the golden sword auras to burst out of Zhao Yao¡¯s body.

    Dozens of sword auras crashed into the pair of supercat and apostle. Instantly, blood spurted out of their bodies and rained across the floor. This attack had dealt a significant damage to them as some bones jut out of their bodies and sent them flying off.

    The apostle once again vanished into thin air following its teleportation, leaving the Sphynx Cat to fend for itself against Zhao Yao.

    Because of the presence of this apostle, Zhao Yao dared not to change to any other abilities for the time being. He could only afford to focus all his attention on the deflective field to attack the Sphynx Cat.

    Suddenly, an inordinate amount of sword auras appeared in the sky and rained down on the Sphynx Cat. It began dodging the swarm of sword auras like a gymnastic champion executing its routine as it tried its best to dodge them all.

    The next moment, the Sphynx Cat noticed the sword auras in the air gave a light shudder and raised its head instinctively. A giant palm was crushing towards its position. In its attempt to avoid the sword auras, the Sphynx cat had already been forced to a corner. Facing the wall and the impending crush of the giant palm, the Sphynx Cat was left with no room to escape.

    The Sphynx Cat¡¯s pupils constricted together as a thought shed across its head. Zhao Yao¡¯s initial attack using the sword auras were simply to lure it into this position, robbing it of any chance at escape.

    The golden giant palm was the culmination of Zhao Yao¡¯s strength and resolves to end this fight once and for all.

    Bam! An earth-shattering explosion erupted as the giant golden palm crushed into the Sphynx Cat. Layers of air currents swept across the surroundings before they were engulfed by the rays of golden beams.

    Just when Zhao Yao was about to follow up with another attack, a bolt of lightning appeared before him ... no ... it wasn¡¯t a bolt of lightning, it was a person that had reached an extraordinary speed. He held a dagger in his hand as it sliced through the deflective field.

    Even though the dagger was instantaneously vaporized, Zhao Yao tried to get rid of the person by a flick of his finger which sent a sword aura directly to him. However, all it managed to hit was his afterimages. The person was simply too fast.

    Zhao Yao sniggered and was on the verge of pursuing that person before he was interrupted by a loud scream.

    ¡°How dare you abuse your power in public! Stop what you¡¯re doing immediately!¡±

    An invisible giant hand descended from the heavens and swooped Zhao Yao off the floor and into its palm.

    The person who had stopped Zhao Yao was the one who managed to subdue Sun Meng and gang. He was the user of psychokinesis, Yue Shan.

    With the power of psychokinesis, Yue Shan, who had a head full of red hair, raised his hand in the air and morphed it into a giant hand and enveloped Zhao Yao within it.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s temple throbbed with rage as he roared, ¡°Get lost!¡±

    Bam! The psychokinesis palm had been torn to pieces by the st created by the deflective field. Zhao Yao took a step forward, as a whirlpool of air current sted him ahead, towards the direction of the Sphynx Cat.

    While Zhao Yao was giving chase, the person who tried to attack him at warp speed did not give up either. He was like a bolt of lightning and began striking Zhao Yao ceaselessly. An inordinate amount of shes flooded the sky. Within that short hundred meters, Zhao Yao had no idea how many times he had been struck by that person.

    However, with the protection by Deflective Field, Zhao Yao remained unscathed. The intensity of the person¡¯s attack started waning as another of his dagger was vaporized by Deflective Field. The assant clutched his right arm in his chest as his forehead furrowed together.

    The person who had just tried taking down Zhao Yao was none other than Lin Chen., who had received the power of extreme speed. Within that short instance, he hadnded a total of 102 strikes on Zhao Yao. However, Zhao Yao sustained no injuries but his right palm grew numb from the intense battle.

    He stared at the golden figure as it begun to disappear into the horizons. He could not even see Zhao Yao¡¯s face clearly. Disappointment clouded his features as he mumbled, ¡°Who is that golden guy?¡± At the same time, Yue Shan¡¯s voice rang in his earpiece, ¡°Lin Chen, try to stall him. I¡¯m going to use my ultimate move.¡±

    ¡°Stall him?¡± Lin Chen¡¯s voice was devoid of confidence as he continued, ¡°That¡¯s as good as asking for my life.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s initial fight with Sphynx Cat had already startled the residents in the area. The ensuring battles using the sword auras only made the situation worse.

    Coincidentally, Lin Chen and Yue Shan were in the vicinity when the fight broke out. They received instructions from the higher-ups and were the first ones to appear. When they arrived, all they saw was this golden man wreaking havoc in the area. Only one thought sprang into their heads ¨C take that man down.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao slid Lin Chen a nce and continued pursuing the Sphynx Cat.

    He thought, ¡°Is that Lin Chen? His ability is far stronger than before. Evidently, the government has also been training their supercats¡¯ abilities.¡± Zhao Yao had already predicted this since the government held so many supercats and apostles in their hands. They would surely let the supercats lend out their powers to all the apostles and in the process improved its abilities.

    From the looks of it, psychokinesis and extreme speed were the powers that the government had standardized on.

    However, this thought only stayed in Zhao Yao¡¯s head for a brief moment. His objective was still to capture Sphynx Cat.

    Sadness clouded Zhao Yao¡¯s features when he returned to the Sphynx Cat¡¯sst position.

    All that was left were the giant hole. Evidently, this was created during their previous battles. This hole led directly into the sewage systems. Obviously, Sphynx Cat had escaped using it.

    ¡°No, my previous attack should not be able to break the surface of the concrete floor.¡± Suddenly, a glimmer shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes as he recalled the Sphynx Cat¡¯s behavior during the fight.

    ¡°That guy exerted all its strength when it stepped on the ground. At first, I thought it was only using it to produce an even greater force. I guess ... it already knew that our position was very close to the sewage channels underground.¡±

    ¡°That was why it continually damaged the structural support of the concrete ground. With myst attack, the ground copsed and revealed the sewage channels.¡±

    ¡°Throughout the entire process, we produced such a hugemotion which attracted the attention of the police and the government apostles.¡±

    ¡°While trying toy an ambush on me, this cat had already prepared its n B, C, D, E.¡± When this thought struck Zhao Yao, he could not help but shudder in fear. He never expected this cat to be this crafty. It was a true hustler lurking in the shadows of Jiangmen city as it umted its strength.

    Zhao Yao took a look at his timer and realized that he was left with two minutes. Hence, he immediately jumped down.

    ¡°I still have two minutes. The sewage channels are extremely narrow andplicated. This dark setting would be beneficial for it, with its superior sensory skills. I can¡¯t afford to engage a fist fight with it without my ¡®Power Up Card¡¯.¡±

    ¡°I have to find them before my ¡®Power Up Card¡¯ expires. If I really can¡¯t find them ... no ...¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes gravitated downwards and noticed a trail of blood leading to the sewage channels. He bent down and took a few sniffs, ¡°The pungent of blood. Its injuries must be quite serious. They cannot be too far away.¡±

    Zhao Yao instantly jumped into the sewage channels and began his search. His eyes were locked on the trail of blood while his nose was following the unique pungent emanated. However, he suddenly stopped after taking a few steps.

    ¡°Something¡¯s wrong.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s chest rose as he took in a deep breath, ¡°Why are there no more smell further down? The blood trail is also gone?¡± He bent forward and saw a thick and giant severed tail lying in the middle of it.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s body gave a sudden shudder as he thought, ¡°Did it purposely bite off its own tail and leave it here?¡±

    Finally, Zhao Yao reacted to the situation, ¡°Maybe it didn¡¯t evene down the sewage channels at all! This blood-stained tail was simply a distraction for it to buy time.¡±

    Zhao Yao swept his head backward and was about to make his escape when he heard the police and government apostles arriving at the entrance to the sewage.

    If he went over now, a battle between him and them would be inevitable.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead creased together when he took a nce at his countdown timer. Just when he was about to activate Roly Poly¡¯s power of invisibility, a loud roar echoed down the sewage channels.

    ¡°This ce is too dark.¡±

    ¡°Everyone put on your night vision and infrared imaging goggles.¡±

    ¡°Be careful, the target is an extremely dangerous person. Shoot on sight!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s right eyebrow shot up as he thought, ¡°These government apostles are getting smarter and smarter. I didn¡¯t expect them toe here so prepared.¡± Zhao Yao knew that he was left with a single life and dared not switch his abilities when he was still vulnerable to a sneak attack.

    Matcha¡¯s eyes gleamed as hemented, ¡°Zhao Yao, stop pursuing them. This is getting extremelyplicated. The carry should never chase the opponents too much in a team fight.¡±

    Roly Poly was taken aback by Matcha¡¯s wisements and thought, ¡°When did Matcha¡¯s words suddenly turn so legitimate? Is this an illusion?¡±

    Zhao Yao let out a long sigh and muttered, ¡°It¡¯s true that I cannot pursue it any longer.¡± Zhao Yao simply went down the long channels and made his escape.

    At the same time, Sphynx Cat was actually hiding above Zhao Yao. Its entire body was scrunched up into a ball and was hidden between the cracks along the gravel. A naked eye would simply see it as just a regr gravel.

    Blood continued oozing out of the spot where it chopped off its tail. Its two front ws had also suffered a serious fracture.

    Regardless of the burning pain pulsating through its body, the Sphynx Cat gritted its teeth and endured the agony. By controlling its breathing and heartbeat, it hadpletely camouged into its surroundings, just like how it hid when it first snuck up on Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Have I finally managed ... to escape?¡± The Sphynx Cat was staring at Zhao Yao¡¯s body disappearing beyond its sight with a tinge of fear remaining on its face. If not for the police¡¯s arrival at that juncture and the fact that Zhao Yao got distracted, the oue might have been totally different.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s finishing blow was truly too powerful. Coupled with its initial injuries, the Sphynx Cat had suffered wounds that it had never experienced in its lifetime. Waves of cold air emerged from its injuries as a result of Zhao Yao¡¯s deflection field abilities, causing it to tremble uncontrobly. Previously, it managed to resist these cold waves through its incredible bodyposed of muscles as strong as steel. Now, these cold waves were the straw that would potentially break the camel¡¯s back.

    Initially, it had nned to use theplexyouts in the sewage channels to escape from Zhao Yao. However, the searing pain only intensified as it continued running. If it continued to escape, it would be depleted of energy and would instantly die. That¡¯s why it resorted to using the trick of cutting away its own tail.

    The Sphynx Cat took a deep breath and held it in. By contracting the muscles around the tail region, it had temporarily sealed the injury. It could hear the mass of police personnel gathering outside.

    ¡°The next time I see him, I must ... I must give him a surprise.¡±

    The Sphynx Cat thought, ¡°No matter how strong he is, there is still a limit to his powers. Contrary, my powers are infinite. When I take part in the Cat Kingpetition ... I¡¯ll have more and more apostles to harvest my powers from. Next time, I¡¯ll also bring along members of Muscle Society ...¡± As it spoke, a glimmer of terror shed across its eyes.

    However, its body suddenly froze at this moment.

    Beneath it, Zhao Yao who was coated in Roly Poly¡¯s power of invisibility was sniggering as he looked towards the Sphynx Cat¡¯s direction. A red glimmer shed across his eyes. With the power of ¡®Three is better than two¡¯, Zhao Yao had acquired cat¡¯s night vision.

    ¡°I¡¯ve found you!¡±

    With the activation of Elizabeth¡¯s power, the Sphynx Cat had instantly lost control over its body.

    ...

    On a rooftop, a muscr man was staring downwards at the hordes of police officers and government apostles scurrying around the ce as they tried to conceal themselves.

    ¡°It¡¯s still not out yet?¡±

    ¡°Or maybe ... it has already been captured?¡± A cold shiver ran down his spine as images of Zhao Yao shed across his mind, ¡°I never expected such a strong person to appear in Jiangmen City. I guess it¡¯s time to assemble the members of Muscle Society. Hmph, I hope you didn¡¯t do anything stupid to the Sphynx Cat.¡± His body locked up with rage when the thought of Sphynx Cat being captured crossed his mind.

    ...

    With the Sphynx Cat under his control, Zhao Yao had made his way back to Jiangmen University.

    He knew that the government would never turn a blind eye to this incident of such massive scale and destruction.

    Furthermore, Fit Bro had some important intel regarding Jiangmen University. Hence, this ce could no longer act as their permanent hideout.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s most pressing task was to relocate his hideout immediately.

    ¡°If anyone, be it members of Muscle Society or government personnel, knew about the incident involving themp God or the pregnant cat, they would definitelye over here and investigate. Hence, the dugout ... no ...the entire Jiangmen University can no longer be used as a base.¡±

    Even though Zhao Yao had Sphynx Cat in his hands, he still vividly remembered the guy in ck who tried to sneak an attack on him. Not only did he embody Sphynx Cat¡¯s physical strength, he could also borrow superpowers from other supercats. He was far more dangerous than Sphynx Cat.

    ¡°He would not be the only person in Muscle Society to have such skills. They would not give up their search for Sphynx Cat.¡±

    Zhao Yao knew that he would be inundated with a flood of enemies.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao took a nce at his mission panel and realized that he had missed the multiple changes made to his mission panel when he was too absorbed in the fight.

    Firstly he had earned the 100*2 experience points forpleting the first chain mission to establish the cat nation. Consequently, the second chain mission had appeared. Evidently, the bunch of supercats which had spent the entire day in the extradimensional belly had met the requirements for 10 supercats.

    Chain Mission No.2: Happy Cat Nation

    Objective: The cats living in Cat Nation deserve happiness. Ensure that all the cats living within Cat Nation experience happiness

    Reward: 200 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    Zhao Yao skimmed through the contents and thought, ¡°Did the reward for the second mission double? It would be great if the reward for these missions continues growing exponentially.¡±

    Secondly, Zhao Yao had unknowinglypleted a mission, Survive at all costs, and earned 300*2 experience points. This mission waspleted when Zhao Yao was on the verge of death.

    Mission: Survive at all costs

    Objective: Survive!

    Reward: 300 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    As Zhao Yao read through the contents, he could not help but relived the moments when he almost entered the gates to hell. He muttered, ¡°There would be no next time. I will never let anyone kill me.¡±

    Finally, he hadpleted the mission which required him to capture the Sphynx Cat.

    Mision: Catch that cat!

    Objective: Capture the cat which has the ability to train non-stop.

    Reward: 500 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    ¡°Capture the Sphynx Cat?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes squinted into a line as he thought, ¡°500*2 experience points is not bad at all!¡±

 Chapter 254: The Plan

    <h4>Chapter 254: The n</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Because of Zhao Yao¡¯s insane fight, Inspector Ho had a lot on his te for the day. He had to cordon off the entire area, get rid of the mess, appease the residents, exin to the media, put an end to the gossip and most importantly catch the fugitive.

    All the government apostles in Jiangmen City were taken aback by the news.

    As the most eye-catching suspect of the day, Golden Man was dered as the number one most wanted fugitive among them.

    ...

    Zhao Yao earned a total of 2500 experience points from the night¡¯s worth of escapade, turning his BOOK to lv4(3628/5000).

    Sphynx Cat had also left an indelible impression on Zhao Yao from their fight the previous night, be it its incredible infiltration skills with the use of its superior body control or even the tenacity it disyed throughout the fight, the cunningness it employed during the sneak attack and its final scheme to escape.

    This Sphynx Cat was the strongest supercat Zhao Yao had ever met in terms of its physical prowessbined with its intellect.

    The most frightening aspect of this cat was that there were no limits to how strong it could potentially be.

    ¡°Luckily I managed to capture it.¡±

    At the same time, Zhao Yao had to reevaluate his perception of his abilities.

    Zhao Yao let out a sigh of despair and muttered, ¡°I have really belittled the supercats and apostles in Jiangmen City. All the victories that I have earned had numbed me and made me too cocky.¡±

    Matcha, who stood beside Zhao Yao, nodded his head and spoke in a solemn tone, ¡°Zhao Yao, you have truly gotten a full of yourself. Look at you, what have you been doing these days? All you know is to y PUBG at the end of the day. If not for my help, you would have been dead already!¡±

    Zhao Yao instantly sent a p across Matcha¡¯s face and roared as anger surged through him, ¡°You have the cheek to criticize me? Do you even know what you have been doing these days? Furthermore, the oue of today¡¯s battle was because of my wit and smart thinking!¡±

    ¡°Do you actually think that I spent all those time just to y a game?¡± Disappointment sagged through Matcha as he stared indignantly at Zhao Yao and exined, ¡°By spending time ying Mobile Legends, I¡¯m devising ways in which I can apply superpowers into our daily lives! If I didn¡¯t get Roly Poly to scare it, you would already have been beaten to a pulp!¡±

    Zhao Yao folded his arms across his chest and grumbled, ¡°I guess I have to thank Roly Poly then.¡± Zhao Yao squatted next to Roly Poly and gave a forceful rub across his head, ¡°Roly Poly, I guess I can always depend on you during such critical times. You carry the heavy responsibility of taking care of my assets in the future.¡±

    Roly Poly forced an excited look on his face but thought, ¡°Hmph, can I actually trust this old man? Don¡¯t tell me he actually intends to pass down the cat caf¨¦ to me?¡± However, Roly Poly was still overwhelmed by the prospect of possibly seeding the entire business from Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao squeezed his hands into a fist and thought, ¡°Now, I¡¯ll have to focus all my attention onpleting more missions. At this rate, I¡¯ll be able to upgrade my BOOK and the supercats at the end of the month.¡±

    ¡°Also, it¡¯s time to start using the supercats inside the belly to my advantage. If I managed to pull Ares and the ragdolls out for the fight, I would have easily won the battle.¡±

    A blueprint aimed at improving hisbat prowess started formting at the back of his head. Firstly, he had toplete more missions in order to upgrade both his BOOK and supercats. Next, he had to find some way to leverage on the supercats living in his belly.

    ¡°Thankfully I had already found the pattern behind all these missions. Now, I just have to spam them all!¡±

    However, as he made his way back to the dugout with the Sphynx Cat slung over his shoulders, his ears shuddered as an ear-piercing shriek erupted. His body gave a slight quiver as he pped his hand over his mouth, ¡°D*mn it! I knew it! I had forgotten about something!¡±

    ....

    ¡°King George! Get out now!¡± Zhao Xue¡¯s exasperated voice echoed throughout the ce as she made her way from one tree to another.

    After quite some time, Dust Ball appeared out of thin air with an amiable smile stered on her face. She had just returned from her extradimensional belly.

    However, a giant hand instantly greeted her by strangling her neck.

    ¡°Dust Ball!¡± Zhao Yao stared at her with a pair of dead fish eyes and questioned her, ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    Dust Ball¡¯s fur puffed up a little before she immediately devoured herself into her belly. The cat had disappeared it following the swirl of the space-time dimension.

    However, a bright light flooded her eyes moments after she returned to the belly. She was once again vomited out of Zhao Yao¡¯s mouth.

    ¡°Hmph,¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes remained glued on her.

    Dust Ball could only muster an awkward smile and replied, ¡°Meowhaha, I thought all of you had already left! Hence, I decided to help train you sister, Zhao Yao!¡±

    Zhao Yao yed along and startedughing, ¡°In that case, let me train you as well. From today onwards, you will only receive the catmint that you managed to find. If not, you will have none of it.¡±

    ¡°No, Zhao Yao!¡± Dust Ball pleaded non-stop and started rubbing against Zhao Yao¡¯s calf, ¡°This is unfair. How can you go against your words? We had an agreement!¡±

    At the same time, Zhao Xue¡¯s screams interrupted their conversations. Zhao Yao¡¯s eyebrow shot up and he was left with no choice but to coat himself with illusion. With the Sphynx Cat, Dust Ball, Matcha and Roly Poly next to him, he made his way to his sister.

    When Zhao Yao finally found her, she was squatting in a corner as her fingers started tracing an invisible circle on the ground with a look of utter despair. After a night of ¡®training¡¯, her clothes had been tattered and her body covered in mud. She looked just like a refugee.

    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that a pretty girl like me would be stuck in this godforsaken ce?¡± Zhao Xue¡¯s eyes reddened with anger as she roared, ¡°B*stard! Why do I have to be stuck in this ce? King George, get the hell out right now!¡±

    Zhao Yao waved his hand towards Matcha and instructed him, ¡°Go up.¡±

    Hence, King George, with a halo above his head, reappeared in Zhao Xue¡¯s eyes. Zhao Xue noticed him and instantly pounced towards him and pressed Matcha¡¯s head against her chest. She bawled and screamed, ¡°I thought you were just gonna leave me here forever!¡± As she spoke, she began wiping her snot and tears on Matcha¡¯s fur.

    Matcha looked at her with a face of disdain and tried his best to break free from her clutch. However, Zhao Xue held on to him extremely tightly as she was afraid that he would disappear again. Matcha looked towards Zhao Yao and shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! Get a hold of your sister! I¡¯m going to suffocate to death!¡±

    Zhao Yao looked towards Matcha with a face of indifference as his voice rang in Zhao Xue¡¯s head, ¡°Zhao Xue, your currentbat abilities are far too weak. From now on, you will have to train every day.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Zhao Xue¡¯s breath shook as fear crossed her face. She mumbled, ¡°Is it gonna be the same as today?¡±

    Zhao Yao suppressed his cough and exined, ¡°You don¡¯t have toe to this dugout anymore. I have forsaken this ce. From now on, report to Utopia district at 8 pm every day.¡±

    Zhao Yao knew that supercats¡¯ presence and influence in Jiangmen City was only going to grow. Seeing that Zhao Xue was bent on participating, he had decided to lend out Roly Poly¡¯s power. Furthermore, Roly Poly could also grow stronger by lending out his power to Zhao Xue and Baiquan.

    ¡°Hmph? Zhao Yao, isn¡¯t that our house?¡±Matcha asked with a curious expression.

    Zhao Yao answered telepathically, ¡°You don¡¯t say? I¡¯ll be going out for my missions at 8 pm every day I can just settle it in our district. Do you expect me toe to her university every day? That¡¯ll kill me!¡±

    Zhao Xue immediately replied, ¡°However, that¡¯s very from where I live. Can we meet somewhere nearer?¡± As she spoke, she bent down to Matcha and gave him a soothing rub on his chin. She pleaded, ¡°King George, please. I¡¯ll deliver fish to you and offer you massage services daily. Can it be a little nearer?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Zhao Yao instantly shot down her proposition and sniggered, ¡°Do you think I¡¯ll actually fall for your fish and massage traps? I¡¯m not even a cat.¡±

    Matcha curled his lips in disgust and thought, ¡°Is that even something to be proud of?¡±

    After sending his sister away, Zhao Yao retrieved the cors from his supercats and lifted the illusion within the dugout before making his way home.

    With Roly Poly¡¯s power of invisibility and Elizabeth¡¯s power of illusion, they were able to conceal themselves throughout the journey. Even the Sphynx Caty obediently in the car.

    Zhao Yao let out a long sigh as he ced the muscr Sphynx Cat on the floor. All sorts of ideas swarmed his mind as he kept thinking about how to deal with it.

    ¡°Wah, this has such a nice view. No wonder Matcha always love to spend his time here.¡± Roly Poly thought as he rested on Matcha¡¯s massage throne. A smile crept up his face as he observed his surroundings, ¡°This will be my home the day Zhao Yao dies.¡±

    ¡°Get lost!¡± Matcha shouted as he pushed Roly Poly off of his throne. He mocked, ¡°This throne is reserved for the king.¡±

    Roly Poly crashed against the ground as he stared furiously at Matcha. Matcha shouted, ¡°Fatso, you have grown quite cocky recently.¡± Matcha raised his paw into the air and unleashed his ws. He continued, ¡°Do you see this? These are the paws capable of performing the world¡¯s ssical pieces. They are even capable of tapping on the screen 12 times in a single second.¡±

    ¡°Matcha boss, you have wronged me!¡± Roly Poly forced a smile and continued, ¡°Matcha, you will always be my boss!¡±

    A contented glee appeared on Matcha¡¯s mouth upon seeing Roly Poly¡¯s submission. Matcha gave a dismissive wave of his hand and remarked, ¡°Get lost. This is thest time I¡¯m reminding you of your status here.¡±

    Roly Poly instantly scrunched up his face the moment he turned his body around and muttered, ¡°This stupid orange cat, you¡¯ll learn your lesson when Zhao Yao dies ...¡±

    Matcha satfortably on his massage thrones as his eyes swept from the living room to the bedroom, bedroom to the toilet and back to the kitchen before he finally nodded his head happily.

    ¡°An ordinary cat needs to physically walk around to inspect his territory. However, I, Matcha, am not an ordinary cat. I can inspect my territory with a simple visual inspection.¡±

    Meanwhile, Hanako and Baiquan remained fast asleep since it was still the middle of the night.

    However, the cats inside the apartment scampered over when the Sphynx Cat was brought over.

    The Pas¡¯s cat, Lightning, ran over and started sniffing its body from head to toe. He stared curiously at it and asked, ¡°What is this thing? Why is it so ugly?¡±

    ¡°This is a Sphynx cat. They aremonly known as the furless cat.¡± Zhao Yao continued by offering him an advice, ¡°Do note too close to it. This cat is extremely dangerous.¡±

    Elizabeth let out a sigh at this sight, ¡°Zhao Yao, why do you always bring stray cats back home? There¡¯s already not enough space in your apartment.¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t voluntarily bring this cat back. This cat attacked me in the first ce.¡± Elizabeth noticed the red glimmer in Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes. This meant that he was still controlling the Sphynx Cat.

    Mango hobbled down from his bed and crept towards the Sphynx Cat with an innocent expression on his face. Somehow, he buried his entire body in the Sphynx Cat¡¯s lower body and began rubbing himself against it. Zhao Yao had no idea what he was doing.

    Zhao Yao immediately grabbed Mango by the back of his neck and retorted, ¡°Mango! What are you doing? Stop it!¡±

    ¡°Furless?¡± Rice Cake threw a condescending re at the Sphynx Cat and muttered, ¡°What a shameless cat.¡±

    Zhao Yao then went over to Elizabeth and gave her a gentle rub on the back of her head. Zhao Yao mustered his most police voice and asked, ¡°Elizabeth, could you kindly get your family to lend me a helping hand? I need to erase this cat¡¯s memory.¡±

    Zhao Yao knew everything about the ragdolls¡¯ power. The three of them could induce sleep, create dreams and wipe out memories. With this power, Zhao Yao could erase all the Sphynx Cat¡¯s memories of its fight against Zhao Yao. That would also be Zhao Yao¡¯s first step in educating the cat.

    ¡°No. None of them will even bother listening to me.¡±

    A smile crept up Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he sniggered, ¡°Silly girl, but we can control them.¡±

    Throughout this entire process, the Sphynx Cat could not even move an inch. However, it was still capable of feeling emotions. A wave of anger swept through it as it listened to Zhao Yao and Elizabeth¡¯s conversation. Fury and fear poured out of its eyes as it tried with all its might to break free from this restraint. However, it was futile. It could never escape from Zhao Yao¡¯s control.

    However, Zhao Yao gave up on the idea of erasing its memory eventually. If he employed such a method to deceive the Sphynx Cat, it would simply give Muscle Society an opportunity to expose Zhao Yao¡¯s actions. This would instantly be a time bomb. It would be a better idea toe up with a process to make the Sphynx Cat submit to Zhao Yao.

    ¡°However, I need toe up with something to temporarily restrain this cat. I can¡¯t just put it under my control forever!¡±

    Suddenly, a glimmer shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes when he was deep in thought, ¡°Oh yes, I can control gravity inside the extradimensional belly. I can just keep it inside. Neither can it hurt other cats nor can other cats hurt it.¡±

    Hence, Zhao Yao instructed Elizabeth to control the Sphynx Cat while he crept to a neighboring construction site to steal some iron beams. With the help of his deflection field, he managed to construct an iron cage and absorbed it into his belly.

    By pointing all his sword auras at the Sphynx Cat¡¯s neck, Zhao Yao forced it to enter Dust Ball¡¯s mouth on its own ord.

    The Sphynx Cat could detect the ominous dark clouds gathering at its back as it roared, ¡°You will regret this! It¡¯s futile even if you managed to capture me. Among the apostles which I¡¯ve bred, there are so many of them who are far stronger than me. You will be dead the moment they find you!¡±

    Zhao Yao instantly gave the Sphynx Cat a p on its face with Deflective Field. Zhao Yao shouted, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be so cocky even after losing a fight! Just get the hell in! I¡¯m telling you that it¡¯s useless even if your apostles found their way here. I will just beat them to a pulp as a wee gift.¡±

    The Sphynx Cat could feel the razor-sharp sword aura pressing precariously against its neck. Any sudden movement would mean certain death. Given its current condition, it knew that it was in no position to fight. Hence, it gave in to Zhao Yao¡¯s request and walked in helplessly.

    ...

    A thunderous thud shattered the silence within the extradimensional belly as a heavy iron cage fell from the sky. This instantly captured the attention of all the supercats inside.

    Ares and a few cats instantly scurried over to take a look at this mysterious cage. They surrounded the cage and began sniffing at it from top to bottom. A simr thought sprang up in all their heads, ¡°A cage? What is a cage doing down here?¡±

    Soon after, a soft crackling sound rang from the cage. What they saw caused their chest to tighten with fear. A furless cat was inside the cage.

    Gaia shouted at the top of his voice, ¡°Huh? Everyone, take a look! There¡¯s a pig here!¡±

    Themotion surrounding this cage instantly attracted all their attention. Hence, F¨±jin, Lucifer, Ares, Gaia, Rakshasa, Caesar, Diana, Catherine, Lion Head, Airne, Baozi, Sausage, and Uncle Egg immediately rushed over to take a look at what happened. All of their heads peered over one another to steal a nce at Sphynx Cat which was held within the cage.

    The Sphynx Cat¡¯s eyes squinted into a hard line as it thought, ¡°There are so many supercats here? Are they all kept here after getting captured by that man?¡± However, it did not bother finding out more. It simply shut its eyes and began healing its injuries.

    With its superb control over the muscles in its body, it could even will the torn muscles to seal on their own, hastening the recovery process.

    Simrly, it could control its muscles and positioned them in a spot to support and immobilized its fractured bones. It was a makeshift ster cast.

    Furthermore, its vitality was far stronger than any ordinary cats. Hence, its recovery process was also far quicker than theirs.

    Its only concern was food and water. However, it had thought about it already and assumed that Zhao Yao would not bother starving it since he had already decided to hold it captive.

    Just when it had focused all its thoughts and energies on recovering its body, Zhao Yao had changed to Dust Ball¡¯s power and altered the gravity affecting its body.

    Bam! The stronger gravitation force instantly mmed its face against the cold hard ground. Its entire body started shaking like a leaf due to the effects of the enhanced gravitational force. It could hardly stand on its feet.

    ¡°Are you kidding? Why did my body ... when did it suddenly turn so heavy?¡±

    Zhao Yao had increased the gravitational force affecting the Sphynx Cat by ten folds. Naturally, the toil it took on the body to maintain its regr respiratory process or even simply survive had exponentially increased. It could no longer participate in any strenuous activity. In that case, Zhao Yao no longer had to worry about the Sphynx Cat breaking free from the cage and injuring the other supercats.

    Gaia pointed its finger at the Sphynx Cat and eximed, ¡°All of you, take a look! There are so many wounds all over this pig! Did this pig just escape from a pig farm?¡±

    Caesar who stood beside Gaia started scrutinizing its appearance and remarked, ¡°This pig actually looks like a cat.¡±

    Sphynx Cat was already infuriated by the effects of the new gravity. The cats¡¯ constant bbering only managed to fan his anger as his temples throbbed with rage. Finally, it had enough and shouted, ¡°I¡¯m a f*cking cat, not a f*cking pig. All of you, shut the f*ck up!¡±

    The surrounding supercats had never expected this sudden outburst and were struck with fear.

    Gaia simply shouted, ¡°Hey guys, did you hear it? The pig has spoken!¡±

    The Sphynx Cat¡¯s face reddened with anger as it continued shouting, ¡°I told you that I¡¯m a god d*mn cat, a supercat. You are the stupid pig!¡±

    Gaia did not believe a word it spoke and sniggered, ¡°If you are a cat, exin why you are furless?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m a mother f*cking furless cat!¡±

    <h4>Chapter 256: Solution</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Ares raised his paw in the air to signal Gaia to stop his incessant squabbling with the furless cat, ¡°Alright, Gaia, stop arguing! He is really a cat. I have heard from Ho Hao Cang that there was a species in this world called the furless cat. These cats do not have fur.¡±

    The Sphynx Cat was pleasantly surprised by Ares and nodded in his direction, ¡°You are rather knowledgeable.¡±

    However, Ares continued with his lips drawn into a snarl, ¡°But these cats are as good as a human without clothes. They roam along the streets naked, like some sort of pervert.¡±

    The Sphynx Cat simmered with anger before retorting, ¡°What are you trying to say?¡±

    Ares did not bother exining but replied by stretching out his paw and started strangling him with the use of deflective field. With his eyes staring straight at Sphynx Cat, Ares uttered, ¡°I don¡¯t care who you are, but as long as you are here, I will be your boss. Even if you are a tiger, I also expect your total submission. Do you understand?¡±

    The Sphynx Cat detected the change in the atmospheric pressure as an invisible force started pressing against his neck. His heart skipped a beat and thought, ¡°This sensation ... this is exactly the same as that man¡¯s power ... did he borrow the power from this cat? However, I¡¯m 100% sure that I did not see this cat on the battlefield. Then how did he manage to switch his powers at will?¡±

    Regarding his defeat to Zhao Yao, there were still many things which he had problems understanding. Chief amongst them was how Zhao Yao could simply switch his powers at will.

    The Sphynx Cat did not bother refuting Ares when he heard his insolentments. He simply chose to remain silent.

    The Sphynx Cat was no ordinary supercat. He had spent more than half a year lurking in the shadows of Jiangmen City, with only himself to depend on. He had been searching for apostles, training and gathering new strength all in the dark. He would even resort to cut off his own tail if it meant survival. His endurance had far surpassed any ordinary cats.

    Furthermore, he would never refute Ares given his current conditions. His heavy injuries had almost rendered him incapable of escaping. Coupled with the unknown force restricting him and Ares¡¯s power, Sphynx Cat chose to ept the insults in silence.

    Hence, he shut his eyes as a tirade of abuse rained down on him.

    ¡°Mother, this cat doesn¡¯t even have fur on it.¡± Diana asked her mother with her face flushed in embarrassment, ¡°It¡¯s so erotic.¡±

    Catherine simply shielded her eyes from this sight using her paws and replied, ¡°Stop looking at this cat, Diana. It is illegal to walk around naked. Never learn from this cat.¡±

    Airne pranced towards the mother and daughter with a licentious smile, ¡°Diana, take a look at me. Do you like how beautiful my fur is?¡±

    Lion Head had enough of Airne¡¯s nonsense and instantly bit on his tail and swung him into a corner and bellowed, ¡°Airne, take a good look at the pervert inside the cage. If you continue behaving in this manner, you will be the next one inside that cage.¡±

    ¡°So it¡¯s actually not a pig?¡± Sadness clouded Gaia¡¯s features as he shook his head dejectedly, ¡°This means it¡¯s simply a pervert that doesn¡¯t wear clothes. Lame. I might as well y my games instead.¡± With a spring in his steps, Gaia had already returned to hisptop and resumed Diablo 2.

    ¡°You are so disappointed just because I¡¯m not a pig? I¡¯m so sorry for disappointing you.¡± This thought shed across Sphynx Cat¡¯s head which caused his eyelids to quiver with anger. Even a vein popped out on his forehead. However, he knew that his anger at this supercats was futile and pretended to sleep by shutting its eyes.

    After the initial ruckus, the crowds of supercats had vanished along with their initial excitement.

    Since returning to the extradimensional belly, they had started ying the games Zhao Yao had pre-installed on theirptops. Aspared to the epic games on theirptops, this furless cat was far less interesting. They had grown bored of him the moment his novelty wore off.

    ¡°D*mn it, I died again! Dark Souls is too difficult!¡± Lucifer muttered before he plunged himself into the game once again. This kind of game had a perfect bnce between being difficult and yet interesting. It enticed Lucifer to just try again after his countless deaths. This was the first time Lucifer had ever grown so addicted to a single game.

    Gaia was still fully absorbed in the game of Diablo 2. Aspared to the other games, this was significantly lessplicated and only required the yer to grind and grind. This was right up Gaia¡¯s alley.

    Catherina, Diana, and Lion Head were all huddled over a tiny phone screen as they continued watching Scarlet Heart.

    ¡°Fourth prince is so cool.¡± Diana eximed with a twinkle in her eyes, ¡°How I wish I had such a person to clean up after my shit.¡±

    Lion Head began licking her paws licentiously and remarked, ¡°Isn¡¯t¡¯ the eighth prince far cuter? I would die to rub my body against his.¡±

    However, Ares did not return to his game. Even though Gwent: The Witcher Card Game was absolutely captivating, his gut instincts told him that there was something unique about this furless cat.

    This was the first time a supercat had entered the extradimensional belly in a cage.

    Hence, Ares¡¯s eyes remain glued to the furless cat before he opened his mouth and asked, ¡°Do you have any idea how you got in here?¡±

    The Sphynx Cat opened one of his eyes and nced at Ares. However, he chose to remain silent.

    Zhao Yao could finally heave a sigh of relief when he saw the situation within the extradimensional belly, ¡°Finally, I have found a method to temporarily restrain him.¡±

    From this encounter with Muscle Society, Zhao Yao understood that he needed their power.

    However, it was alreadyte at night and they had just spent their day escaping from the gates of hell. Zhao Yao and Matcha simply went back to bed after a simple dinner.

    ...

    Zhao Yao was awoken by an intense stench the second morning.

    He opened his eyes to the sight of Mango running around on his bed. He struggled to keep his eyes open as he observed Mango trying to get rid of the urine stain on his nket.

    ¡°Mango!¡± Zhao Yao bellowed at the top of his voice.

    Mango instantly puffed up his fur and jumped from Zhao Yao¡¯s bed before escaping into the living room.

    ¡°D*mn it!¡± Zhao Yao took a nce at the pool of urine before sweeping his eyes towards Matcha, ¡°Matcha, don¡¯t you know how to take care of that stupid cat? You didn¡¯t bother stopping him even when he peed on my bed?¡±

    Matcha remained fast asleep on the bed. His ears twitched a little but he showed no signs of waking up at all.

    ¡°Matcha! Get the hell up right now!¡±

    Matcha¡¯s ears quivered again and swung his tail from left to right. It seemed like he was trying to tell Zhao Yao that he had heard him.

    Zhao Yao gave Matcha a gentle push but Matcha simply rolled to a corner of the bed.

    ¡°This stupid cat.¡± Zhao Yao grew tired of reasoning with him and simply kicked him off the bed as he prepared to clean up the mess which Mango made.

    Finally, Matcha lifted his head as he let out a loud yawn, ¡°Why are you making such a fuss over some urine? Can¡¯t you just bury it?¡± Matcha let out another yawn before his body copsed on the bed again.

    Hence, Zhao Yao¡¯s morning was destroyed by Mango¡¯s wake-up call. Zhao Yao could hardly keep his eyes open when he finally reached the caf¨¦ with Baiquan and Hanako.

    He brewed a cup of coffee to focus his attention as he started brainstorming his next course of actions.

    ¡°On one hand, I must continue creating new missions andpleting them. On the other, I have to reach some sort of agreements with the cats inside the belly.¡±

    With the thought at the back of his head, Zhao Yao channeled Dust Ball¡¯s power to take a look at the situation inside the belly.

    ¡°Hmph, these guys seem pretty contented with all theirputer games and dramas. By using King George¡¯s identity coupled with all the illusions, Matcha had managed to earn a rather credible image in their eyes. Maybe I can use Matcha to talk to them and get them on my side.

    The only problem is with Ares and gang.¡±

    Zhao Yao was involved in a catastrophic battle against Ares and he could not know for sure if he still harbored any hostility towards him.

    However, an idea had already sprung into Zhao Yao¡¯s head.

    ¡°I guess it¡¯s better for the person who created all these troubles to put an end to it.¡±

 Chapter 257: The First Encounter and Satisfaction

    <h4>Chapter 257: The First Encounter and Satisfaction</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao summoned Elizabeth, Dust Ball and Matcha over and instructed Elizabeth to cast an illusion on them, preventing the customers from seeing what they were doing.

    He then began exining his uing ns to the three cats.

    Matcha burst outughing and began rolling around the floor in bouts ofughter. With a horny smile stered on his face, Matcha started pounding his chest and roared, ¡°Zhao Yao, you are so scheming! I never expected you toe up with such a ploy! I guess it¡¯s just a matter of time before we reign over the cat world.¡±

    Zhao Yao ran his fingers along Matcha¡¯s spine andughed along, ¡°Of course! There is nothing that we will not do as long as it doesn¡¯t involve money.¡±

    Dust Ball and Elizabeth were left speechless by Zhao Yao¡¯s proposition and curled their lips in disgust.

    Ten minutester, F¨±jin, Ares, Lucifer, Gaia and Rakshasa who were originally engrossed in theirputer games suddenly appeared in the cat caf¨¦.

    They froze on the spot. In front of them sat two men which they had never expected sitting together, ¡°You ... you ... you ... you!¡±

    The two men were Ho Hao Cang and Zhao Yao. Obviously, Ho Hao Cang was simply an illusion.

    A smile appeared on Hao Cang¡¯s face when he noticed Ares¡¯s arrival and said, ¡°Ares, long time no see.¡±

    ¡°Who are you?¡± Gaia roared at the top of his voice. Shock and confusion flooded Gaia¡¯s face as he muttered, ¡°Why does this guy look so familiar?¡±

    Zhao Yao could not believe his ears and thought, ¡°This stupid cat! Can¡¯t he even recognize his owner? It has only been less than two months!¡±

    Zhao Yao managed to suppress the anger raging with him and spoke calmly, ¡°Don¡¯t you guys remember me? I am Ho Hao Cang, your previous owner.¡±

    ¡°Oh,¡± Gaia started nodding his head cluelessly, ¡°Oh I remember! You are the person who used to feed us every day! You are Ho Ho Cang!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s Ho Hao Cang!¡± Before Zhao Yao could even scold Gaia, Ares had already sent a p across Gaia¡¯s cheeks and roared, ¡°Stop pretending as if you had managed to recall who he is.¡±

    Gaia¡¯s head sank into his chest as he pressed his paws against his forehead dejectedly. A thought shed through his head, ¡°So what if I have forgotten about him? You don¡¯t have to resort to violence! I¡¯m almost bald from this constant beating.¡±

    Ares¡¯s eyes wandered between Ho Hao Cang and Zhao Yao before he finally spoke, ¡°So what happened? I thought you guys were still engaged in an intense battle?¡± Ares¡¯s words had attracted the supercats¡¯ attention as they stared curiously at them.

    Ho Hao Cang exined, ¡°Thanks to King George, Zhao Yao and I had finally managed to resolve the disagreements between us. From now on, Zhao Yao will continue staying here to serve King George. Meanwhile, I feel like retiring from thisplex world of supercats and spend my time leaving a peaceful and simple life.¡±

    At this opportune moment, Matcha stepped forward with a gleeful smile on his face, ¡°Alright, I guess you guys have already bid your farewells. From now on, I will be in charge. Zhao Yao will be working under me as the Lord of Cat Shit. Do look out for him.¡±

    In reality, during Zhao Yao¡¯s penultimate fight against Ho Hao Cang, Ho Hao Cang¡¯s final attempt at victory using his suicidal move had almost annihted the band of supercats. It was Zhao Yao who had saved them from the gates of hell. Naturally, they were not too against him.

    Also, after spending the past month yingputer games and watching dramas inside the extradimensional belly, their feelings towards Hao Cang had also gradually faded.

    Conversely, they had witnessed King George performed multiple miracles over the past month. It was also King George who had given Ares a power boost. Currently, they orded this ordinary-looking cat unfathomable respect.

    Hence, Ares and gang instantly epted the proposition set forth by Ho Hao Cang.

    Gaia interrupted, ¡°Alright, alright. I already understand the new terms. Can we just get back now and resume our games?¡±

    Zhao Yao let out a sigh of disappointment when he realized how eager the supercats were to return to the extradimensional belly. He thought, ¡°I never expected this to end so smoothly. These are truly a bunch of heartless fes. I dare not imagine how Matcha and the rest will react when I die.¡±

    After addressing the problems regarding Ares and his gang, Zhao Yao was only left with the remaining cats inside the belly.

    Hence, after sending the five supercats back into the extradimensional belly, Zhao Yao also entered the ce alongside Matcha.

    Aspared to Ares and gang, the remaining supercats were even more receptive to Matcha¡¯s propositions. Since arriving here, they had witnessed all his miraculous feats. To them, Matcha was as real a God as it got.

    Matcha rested on Zhao Yao¡¯s head while the supercats huddled around them in a circle. From time to time, Matcha would tap on Zhao Yao¡¯s head and roar, ¡°Do you understand? This person here, Zhao Yao, is my subordinate! If he requires your help, I expect your full cooperation! Of course, if you guys require any help, feel free tomunicate them to Zhao Yao.¡±

    The supercats¡¯ head cocked from side to side as they stared curiously at Zhao Yao. This was still the first time they had been formally introduced to this character.

    Suddenly, Gaia raised his paw and eximed, ¡°Zhao Yao! The cat toilet is almost overflowing with shit. Can youe here twice a day to get rid of the shit? Once a day is really too little.¡±

    Zhao Yao curled his lips in disgust but continued to remain silent.

    Lion Head also raised her paw and struggled to string her words together, ¡°Erm ... erm ...¡± Her face turned crimson with embarrassment as she asked, ¡°What happened to the fat, ck and white cat? I haven¡¯t seen him in the Vige of Dreams.¡±

    ¡°Oh yes! What happened to my brother, Roly Poly?¡± Caesar joined in by asking, ¡°King George, do you know what happened to him? I have not seen him since the day I returned here.¡±

    Matcha simply rolled his eyes and was simply indifferent to their questions, ¡°Oh, you¡¯re asking about Roly Poly? I think he might be dead already.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Sadness clouded her features as Lion Head muttered, ¡°How did this happen? Is that why they always say that handsome and beautiful cats tend to die at a young age?¡±

    Simrly, Caesar let out a deafening shriek, ¡°How can my brother be dead? I must exact revenge for him!¡±

    Zhao Yao began screaming at Matcha in his head, ¡°Matcha, what the f*ck are you saying?¡± Meanwhile, he mustered a cheerful smile and exined, ¡°Everyone, please do not worry. Roly Poly is not dead and is living happily. He is currently dispatched out on a mission. King George was simply joking with you.¡±

    Lion Head and Caesar only managed to heave a sigh of relief when they heard that news.

    In the far corner of the extradimensional belly was the Sphynx Cat confined within the cage. His heavy eyelids drooped over his eyes as he began observing the interaction between the cats and Zhao Yao.

    A thought sprang into his head, ¡°So this orange cat is actually the true leader?¡± Originally, the Sphynx Cat had thought that Zhao Yao was the true conspirator behind this entire saga. However, from the looks of it, this orange cat seemed to be the actual leader amongst them. That man was simply a ve the cat ordered around.

    Zhao Yao began chatting with the supercats when he suddenly recalled his second chain mission.

    ¡°My second chain mission is to allow the cats to experience happiness. What should I do to achieve this? Should I splurge on food and drinks?¡±

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes glimmered with excitement when he noticed Uncle Egg sitting alone in the corner with sadness clouding his features. He seemed to be unable to fit in with the rest.

    ¡°Oh yes, I can also obtain missions from supercats! Elizabeth gave me the mission to save her family members previously!¡±

    ¡°At this rate, I¡¯ll be able to receive missions from the supercats inside the belly and earn some additional experience points. In the process, I can help them and forge stronger bonds with them. Maybe, I can even borrow their strength in the future and raise their satisfaction level. Ultimately, I canplete my second chain mission!

    This is as good as killing three birds with one stone!¡±

    With this thought lingering at the back of his head, Zhao Yao had already started prancing towards Uncle Egg¡¯s position with excitement pouring out of his eyes.

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Uncle Egg raised his head and nced at Zhao Yao before lowering his head once again. He seemed devoid of any spirit or happiness.

    Zhao Yao started scrutinizing this old white cat from head to toe. His white fur was maintained in an immacte state, free from a single speck of dust or dirt. It was evident that this cat was especially particr about its cleanliness. It must also be fairly healthy in order to maintain this image.

    However, he seemed extremely lethargic with disappointment sagging through him. Evidently, there was something bothering him right now.

    ¡°That¡¯s great, it will be even better if he requires my help!¡± This thought sprang into Zhao Yao¡¯s head as he squatted right next to Uncle Egg. With his finger running through the fur on his head, Zhao Yao asked, ¡°How are you? Are you happy? If there¡¯s anything bothering you, please feel free to confide in me. I¡¯ll be more than willing to lend you a helping hand.¡±

    Uncle Egg slid Zhao Yao a lifeless re and exined, ¡°Hey kid, I have been hanging around Jiangmen University for close to 10 years. I have bitten people at the age of six months. I started my own catmint business days after celebrating my first birthday. I have met every single kind of person in my life.

    From the looks of your palm, I can already deduce what kind of person you are. Speak, what do you want from me?¡±

    Cold sweat beaded Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead as he mumbled, ¡°This sly old cat...¡± However, he mustered up his most amiable smile and exined, ¡°I truly would like to help you. Feel free to voice any concerns that you might have. I just want all of you to enjoy a wonderful time here.¡±

    ¡°Hmph?¡± Uncle Egg¡¯s forehead furrowed slightly as he stared at Zhao Yao. His eyes were filled with suspicion and doubt, but after much deliberation, he decided to share with Zhao Yao, ¡°I would like some catmint. This stupid ce only has cat food, canned food, and in water. It doesn¡¯t even have a single ounce of catmint. I¡¯m getting so sick and tired of this mundane diet.¡±

    As Uncle Egg spoke, the familiar golden exmation mark had magically appeared at the top of his head. With a beaming smile spreading from ear to ear, Zhao Yao tapped on his mission panel to read through its contents.

    Mission: How can cats survive without catmint?

    Objective: Provide Uncle Egg a batch of satisfactory catmint.

    Reward: The experience points rewarded were dependent on Uncle Egg¡¯s satisfaction level. The experience points rewarded range between 10 and 100 points.

    Punishment: Nil

    Zhao Yao instantly epted the mission andforted Uncle Egg, ¡°Do not worry. I will immediately order a new batch of catmint for you. The quality would definitely be to your liking.¡±

    After leaving the extradimensional belly, Zhao Yao immediately made his way towards the cat toilet and started rummaging through the self-cleaning litter boxes.

    Dust Ball grew somewhat flustered at this sight and caught up to Zhao Yao before asking, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao! What are you searching for?¡±

    ¡°Hmph, nothing much, I¡¯m just arranging some stuff.¡± Before long, Zhao Yao had managed to locate a bag of catmint hidden within an indentation beneath the litter boxes.

    Meow! Dust Ball let out a screeching shriek and pounced at the catmint in Zhao Yao¡¯s hand. She eximed, ¡°Zhao Yao! How do you even know I hid the catmint here?¡±

    Images of Roly Poly sneaking aroundst night flooded his mind.

    ¡°Zhao Yao Zhao Yao! I have discovered where Dust Ball had kept all her catmint. She hid it under one of the automatic self-cleaning litter boxes!¡± Roly Poly announced as he sneakily went up to Zhao Yao, ¡°Don¡¯t tell her that I¡¯m the one who betrayed her.¡±

    Zhao Yao patronized Roly Poly by rubbing him on his head and showering him with a fewpliments. Roly Poly then walked away with spring in his steps and his butt swinging from left to right proudly.

    However, Zhao Yao turned a deaf ear to Roly Poly¡¯s request and gave Dust Ball a three-worded reply, ¡°It¡¯s Roly Poly.¡±

    ¡°This stupid fatso!¡± Dust Ball screamed as she grabbed the bag of catmint for dear life. She continued screaming, ¡°Zhao Yao, these are the catmint you promised me! You cannot take them away!¡±

    Zhao Yao began prying her paws from the bag of catmint, one finger by one. Zhao Yao whispered, ¡°Do not worry. I¡¯m just borrowing this from you. I¡¯ll return it to you tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°No!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll return you double the amount tomorrow. Deal?¡±

    ¡°You promise me?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I, Zhao Yao, am known for being a man of his words. Would I actually lie to my own cats?¡±

    Zhao Yao finally managed to pry Dust Ball¡¯s paws away from the goods before making his way to the second floor. He stopped directly beneath the venttion pipe on the ceiling.

    Upon seeing Zhao Yao¡¯s sudden stop, shivers instantly ran down Dust Ball¡¯s spine.

    ¡°Zhao Yao! What are you trying to do?¡±

    Just when Dust Ball¡¯s voice rang in Zhao Yao¡¯s ears, Zhao Yao had already raised his hands in the air and activated his deflection field. Immediately, a parcel levitated out of the venttion pipe and into Zhao Yao¡¯s hands.

    Dust Ball was barely able to breathe at this sight. With all her fur puffed up, she eximed, ¡°Zhao Yao! Let go of your hands! These are premium Polygonum cat stick! These divine goods are made with the premier catmint! I¡¯ve stashed these things for such a long time and I can hardly bear to eat them myself. Where are you bringing them to?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll return double the amount tomorrow. Do not worry. Count today your lucky day. I¡¯ll just return double the amount of goods that I¡¯ve taken today.¡±

    Dust Ball could only watch as her precious treasure was taken away from her. Her eyes were glued to the goods as she followed Zhao Yao down. She would even let out a series of heart-wrenching scream from time to time.

    ...

    Zhao Yao returned to the belly and pushed the containers containing the weapons and props to a side. Heid out a small butfortable mattress before cing an assortment of bottles and cans on top of it.

    Once ready, he went over to Uncle Egg and said, ¡°Uncle Egg, take a look at the catmint which I have prepared for you. It will definitely be to your liking.¡±

    Uncle Egg simply shook his head in disappointment, ¡°Hmph, I¡¯ve been feeding on catmint since the day I¡¯ve set foot on earth. Young man, I have seen and tasted every single catmint in this world. The catmint that you find will be considered magnificent if it manages to let me rx by just a little...¡±

    While listening to Uncle Egg¡¯s grandiose ims, Zhao Yao had lifted him off the ground and entered a container. He rested Uncle Egg on the mattress and exined, ¡°Uncle Egg, allow me to introduce you to the goods.¡±

    Uncle Egg stared nonchntly at Zhao Yao. However, he was rather curious as to what kind of catmint Zhao Yao had managed to procure.

    Zhao Yao tore open the first can and introduced, ¡°These are the freshest goods shipped directly from Yun Nan. After drying them, these were infused with vitamins and chlorophyll. It is the perfect culmination of taste and authenticity. Have a try.¡±

    Uncle Egg reached out his trained paw and swiped a handful off of Zhao Yao¡¯s hands before carefully dabbing his tongue. Instantly, his eyes shut together as he muttered, ¡°Hmph, this is not bad at all. I can even taste the fragrance of the sun shining on it after it was left out to dry. This is good. Do you have anything else?¡±

    Zhao Yao noticed the changes to his mission panel and realized that he had alreadypleted the mission. However, the experience points which he could receive were only 10 points. This meant that the catmint was barely satisfactory.

    Zhao Yao went on to open a new box of catmint and exined, ¡°After drying, this catmint were ground to powder for consumption.¡±

    Uncle Egg¡¯s eyes instantly gleamed with excitement. As a stray cat, all the catmint which he had seen were still in their most natural state. One sniff of the powdered catmint had shown him the brilliance of it.

    ¡°By taking one sniff worth of powdered catmint, the catmint had immediately entered my bloodstream and into my head. This is truly too high! You humans really know how to enjoy life.¡±

    Uncle Egg had copsed to the floor with the euphoria rushing through his body. He mumbled, ¡°However, it is still not as fresh as the catmint freshly plucked from the gardens.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes squinted into a line as he saw the 30 experience points up for grabs. He proceeded to the next can and said, ¡°Take a look at this then.¡±

    Zhao Yao proceeded to the next can and revealed a few pieces of green biscuits from within. He exined, ¡°These are catmint biscuits. They are created by incorporating tuna into premium catmint ...¡±

    Uncle Egg¡¯s pupils dted and his jaw went ck the moment he saw these wonderful creations. He immediately rushed over to take in a few sniffs.

    ¡°Tuna plus catmint? I didn¡¯t even know that this was possible.¡± Uncle Egg stuck out his tongue and took a single lick. Instantly, he was ovee with euphoria as he copsed to the ground and started rolling around. He eximed, ¡°Incredible! This is incredible! It contains both the fresh taste of the sea from seafood and the intense voring of catmint. This is the perfect union of seafood and vegetables!¡±

    Immediately, Uncle Egg went on his feet and gobbled down the entire biscuit with a few bites, ¡°This is simply too delicious! I can feel the tuna literally bouncing along my tongue as the exhration sensation explodes in my brain!¡±

    The experience points which Zhao Yao could earn had skyrocketed to 60 points.

    A smile found its way up Zhao Yao¡¯s mouth as he moved on to the next can, which contained a few brown solids. He exined, ¡°This is the premium cat chewing gum. It is made bybining three different types of seafood with a sprinkle of Linseed oil. Finally, all-natural catmint oil is added to the product. This is literally the best catmint.¡±

    Uncle Egg immediately reached out his paw and grabbed one handful worth of cat chewing gum into his mouth. Instantly, beams of golden ray shots out of his eyes.

    ¡°Uncle Egg, can you differentiate the three types of seafood present in it?¡±

    Uncle Egg¡¯s head tilted skywards as he whispered, ¡°It¡¯s a kind of fish. I taste it. It is salmon, tuna, and fresh cod. They are really sashaying down my tongue with the catmint as their partners.¡± He covered his mouth with both paws as tears welled up in his eyes. He started hallucinating because of the catmint and uttered, ¡°I see so many fishes surrounding me and dancing with me.¡±

    The experience points which Zhao Yao could redeem had increased to 90 points.

    Zhao Yao decided to use his final weapon. Out of his pocket appeared a lollipop-like object whichnded right in front of Uncle Egg¡¯s eyes.

    Uncle Egg¡¯s body instantly froze the moment he noticed the object. His eyes were glued to the movement of the lollipop-like object as he struggled to speak, ¡°This ... This is ...¡±

    ¡°This is the five-star Polygonum cat stick. It is the epitome of all catmint rted products.¡±

    Excitement poured out of his eyes as Uncle Egg staggered towards this rarity. He immediately grabbed the Polygonum cat stick into his arms and eximed, ¡°How can they just ruthlesslybine catmint with Polygonum?¡±

    He continued speaking after a few licks, ¡°However such a simple and ruthless method had created a perfect product which encapsted the essence of both ingredients. Every lick would produce a tingling sensation on the taste buds, cushioned with the perfect taste of catmint. I feel as if my body had been shed by bolts of current.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s delicious!¡±

    ¡°This is truly delicious!¡±

    ¡°How can such a perfect lollipop exist in this world?¡±

    The experience points finally reached the maximum, 100 points.

    With a beam that stretched from ear to ear, Zhao Yao immediately tapped on it.

    Suddenly, his ears quivered and he turned his head around and noticed the crowd he had attracted. Airne, Baozi, Sausage and Caesar had all gathered at the foot of the entrance, with their eyes sweeping across the cans of catmint.

    Zhao Yao simplyughed and invited them in, ¡°Come in, just grab anything that you fancy.¡±

    Excitement poured out of their eyes as the cats dashed inside. Airne buried his entire head into the container and devoured a bag of catmint biscuit instantly.

    Meanwhile, Caesar picked up a bottle of powdered catmint from the ground before taking a few sniffs. Instantly, his limbs went limp as he copsed to the ground. His eyes rolled back as his hind legs stretched upwards and started kicking against his chin.

    As more and more supercats entered and took a sniff of the catmint, the ce had turned into a dance floor flooded with entric dances.

    With the Polygonum cat stick cradled in his arms, Uncle Egg could not stop licking it. Suddenly, his body froze and crashed to the floor, unconscious.

    Baozi who was busy eating his catmint chewing gum was startled by this scene and eximed, ¡°Emergency! Uncle Egg had fainted because of the catmint. He got too high!¡±

    ¡°Move to the side, all of you!¡± Lion Head appeared out of the swarm of supercats and sat on top of Uncle Egg. She raised her paws in the air andnded a barrage of ps across his face.

    Finally, Uncle Egg woke up all groggy to the chorus of all the supercats.

    ¡°Uncle Egg has finally woken up!¡±

    ¡°Uncle Egg you took too much catmint and almost died from an overdose!¡±

    ¡°Thankfully, Lion Head Sister was here to save your life!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s true! Uncle Egg, you should limit your catmint intake in the future.¡±

    Uncle Egg could not even keep his eyes open and definitely failed to hear what they were saying. Hence, Lion Head craned her neck forward and shouted into his ears, ¡°Uncle Egg! Have a good rest!¡±

    Uncle Egg finally nodded his head to Lion Head¡¯s instructions and replied, ¡°Oh, I¡¯m alright. Just let me take a quick nap.¡±

    ¡°Since Uncle Egg is in no condition to sniff catmint, I shall just take the lollipop from him.¡± Airne snatched the Polygonum cat stick from the box and raised it in the air. A trickle of saliva trickled down his lips as he stared excitedly at it.

    Uncle Egg smelled and realized something was wrong. Immediately, his tail went up and he began pointing frantically towards Airne, ¡°Quick! Someone help me up! I can still take a few more sniffs!¡±

    Suddenly, a swirling vortex appeared out of nowhere and in came Dust Ball who stared angrily at them.

    ¡°Hey, it¡¯s the dark knight!¡±

    ¡°Is she here to take a sniff of the catmint as well?¡±

    However, Dust Ball waspletely indifferent to the chatters amongst the cats. She simply walked forward and grabbed a handful of catmint biscuit before emptying them into her mouth. Only one thought shed across her head during this binge-eating process, ¡°This is mine! All of these belong to me!¡±

    There was a hugemotion within the container that held all the catmint. However, not all the supercats were interested in it. For example, Ares, Catherine, and Diana werepletely indifferent to it.

    Also, some cats had stronger determination. For example, Gaia remained rooted in front of hisptop, with both eyes glued to the screen. Even though the smell of the alluring catmint constantly pulled him there, he managed to resist it.

    ¡°Hmph, from today onwards, this container will be used as the storage unit for catmint.¡± Happiness filled him like sunshine when he nced at the experience points earned. Currently, his BOOK read lv4(3848/5000).

    ¡°I need to continue working harder and harder!¡±

    Next, Zhao Yao focused his attention on raising the supercats¡¯ satisfaction level. He began interacting with them and ying with them.

    ...

    ¡°Ares, are you satisfied?¡±

    ¡°Hmph, the Vige of Dreams is a little too dark. Can you bring some light in?¡±

    Hence, Zhao Yao instantly went on TaoBao and purchased some sun-shaped nightmp and installed it inside his belly. Thesemps were connected to the portable generator and hung in the middle of the ce. Instantly, the entire belly was encapsted in ayer of warm, faint glow.

    Cats themselves already had the power of night vision. Hence, these light were already more than enough for them.

    50*2 experience points earned.

    ...

    ¡°Lion Head, are you satisfied?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not! Where did that fatty go after he confessed to me?¡±

    ¡°Oh, are you referring to Roly Poly? That¡¯s a piece of cake!¡±

    Five minutester, Roly Poly had been transported into the belly with confusion stered on his face. He noticed Lion Head standing opposite him and thought, ¡°Hmph, extradimensional belly?¡±

    He began giggling and mumbled, ¡°That¡¯s impossible. Zhao Yao adores me so much. How can he possibly bear to send me here? I must be dreaming.¡±

    ¡°Fatso, it¡¯s you!¡± Lion Head instantly pounced atop of Roly Poly with both paws caressing his neck. Lion Head even began licking Roly Poly all over his forehead.

    Roly Poly was left dumbfounded by Lion Head¡¯s unexpected behavior. He was screaming in his head, ¡°How is this possible? Am I really back inside the extradimensional belly? Why? Why am I back here?¡±

    He struggled to break free from Lion Head¡¯s loving grip but it was to no avail.

    ¡°What the f*ck! Why is this bitch so strong?¡± Roly Poly struggled with all his might and sent his paws flying in all directions. However, Lion Head¡¯s front paws were as tough as iron casts. He could not move a single inch despite how fiercely he struggled.

    Lion Head¡¯s face was flushed with embarrassment as she whispered into his ears, ¡°Hmph, you horny fatso. Can¡¯t you just wait for a bit more? You don¡¯t have to get into it the moment we meet.¡±

    ¡°Let go!¡± Roly Poly roared, ¡°I¡¯m just trying to escape!¡±

    ¡°Hmph?¡± The shy smile instantly dissipated from Lion Head¡¯s face. She threatened him, ¡°I thought you were an honest and dependable cat. I didn¡¯t expect you to shirk your responsibility once you¡¯ve taken advantage of me.¡± With one paw pressing against Roly Poly¡¯s forehead, she began death-ring Roly Poly. Immediately, her body turned bigger and bigger.

    In the blink of an eye, she had already morphed into the size of a tiger. She continued pressing against his forehead with her paw as anger and fury poured out of her eyes.

    Meanwhile, Roly Poly was shaking like a leaf as he came face to face with this monster. He struggled to exin, ¡°When ... when ... when did I ever take advantage of you?¡±

    Lion Head¡¯s lower lip protruded in a sulky pout as her ws left behind a trail of scars on Roly Poly¡¯s forehead. Her face turned crimson once again as she exined, ¡°You pounced on me the moment you saw me previously. Are you going to deny and pretend that that never happened?¡±

    As she spoke, she raised her tiger-like paws in the air and reflected the light beams from the nightmp, instantly blinding Roly Poly. Suddenly, the giant paws plummeted from the skies and stopped centimeters away from Roly Poly¡¯s face. Roly Poly was barely able to breathe as he began shuddering from head to toe.

    At this moment, Roly Poly¡¯s eyes gleamed with excitement when he noticed a familiar figure at the corner of his eyes. Roly Poly could finally sense a shred of hope as he screamed at Zhao Yao telepathically, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! Get me out of here! This fat bitch is gonna kill me!¡±

    Zhao Yao could not bear to look at Roly Poly. He let out a long sigh of despair and exined, ¡°Roly Poly, just endure for this little bit. I promise you that you will be my right-hand man in the caf¨¦ once this ordeal ends. Beneath you would be tens and thousands of cats.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Roly Poly looked towards Zhao Yao as his face plunged into despair. However, he suddenly found himself in a dilemma after hearing his words.

    Zhao Yao continued saying, ¡°Roly Poly, you can only be a great cat if you have endured the hardships of the world. How can you be their leader if you have not sacrificed one bit for them? How can you convince them to submit to you?¡±

    Resolute shed across Roly Poly¡¯s eyes as he swept his head towards Lion Head. However, he almost burst out crying the moment he saw Lion Head¡¯s face. He eximed, ¡°But isn¡¯t this too big of a sacrifice?¡±

    Zhao Yao finally looked towards Roly Poly with an extremely serious and solemn expression, ¡°Roly Poly, among all the cats inside the caf¨¦, you are the one who I have pinned all my hopes on. Matcha is too na?ve. Elizabeth is too snobbish. Dust Ball is simply just a loner. I¡¯ll be happy if Mango can even survive with his intellect. Rice Cake is stricken with that burdensome illness.

    This heavy responsibility is now resting upon your steady shoulders. A cat¡¯s estrus period onlysts for at most one week. This week will be over in the blink of an eye. I will receive you at the end of the week and crown you as my number one henchman.¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s pupils instantly constricted. These promises had managed to sway Roly Poly¡¯s stance quite significantly.

    Zhao Yao decided to increase the stakes by announcing, ¡°Roly Poly, if you promise me, I¡¯ll instantly transfer RMB 5,000 to your ount right now. Do you know how long it takes for a regr working adult to save up RMB 5,000? Just one week and that money will befortably resting in your pocket.¡±

    ¡°Stop tempting me!¡± A tinge of despair shed across his eyes before he mmed his paw down on the floor, ¡°I¡¯m going to do it.¡±

    After uttering hisst words, Roly Poly shut his eyes and embraced Lion Head¡¯s enormous head in his chest.

    Lion Head was pleasantly surprised by his sudden initiative and instantly reduced in size. She had instantly shrunken to half her original size and could pass off as any ordinary cats in the neighborhood. Her face turned crimson as sheined, ¡°Why do you have to suddenly turn so violent?¡±

    With her head firmly sped in his paws, Roly Poly was staring death directly in its eyes as he whispered into her ears, ¡°Bitch, I like you.¡±

    Bam! Roly Poly¡¯s words were like a cupid¡¯s arrow which instantly plunged into her heart as her body copsed into his arms.

    60*2 experience points earned.

    ¡°Roly Poly, I never expected this day toe in my lifetime. It feels as if I had just managed to marry off an ugly son. As your father, I feel both proud and happy for you.¡± Zhao Yao rubbed against his tearless eyes and turned his body around. He did not want to interrupt their first night together as a couple.

    BOOK: lv4(4068/5000)

    ¡°Soon, soon! At this rate, I will be able to upgrade in a matter of days!¡±A smile danced on his lips and he could not wait to start another mission.

    Hence, Zhao Yao spent all his time running around the extradimensional belly, lending a helping hand to all the supercats. Some cats managed to reward him with missions and experience while some left him empty-handed.

    After this tumultuous journey harvesting experience points from his cats, his BOOK had finally reached lv4(4668/5000). From this period of interaction, he had managed to forge a deeper bond with all the cats by leveraging on his identity as Matcha¡¯s right-hand man.

    A faint smile continued to be stered on Zhao Yao¡¯s face when it was time to knock off.

    ¡°This is unexpected. At this rate, I¡¯ll be able to upgrade my BOOK by tomorrow. But should I spend the points on the BOOK or should I pump them on the cats instead?¡±

    Zhao Yao had not decided on the allocation of the experience points as of yet. After all, upgrading was not on the top of his priority list. His most pressing task was to collect more experience points.

    Shi Yu walked past Zhao Yao and noticed the silly smile that had been hanging there the entire day. A frown crept up her face as she sneered, ¡°Zhao Yao, why are you so happy? You have been smiling the entire day while your butt is glued to this seat. Have you cleaned the caf¨¦ yet? Have you swept the caf¨¦ yet?¡±

    ¡°Immediately!¡± Zhao Yao remained immersed in his daydream as he instructed Elizabeth to activate her illusion while he cleaned up the ce using Dust Ball¡¯s abilities.

    With the help of extradimensional belly, Zhao Yao managed to make the cafe spick and span in a matter of minutes. Hanako and Shi Yu stood in a corner as they observed Zhao Yao humming to his favorite tune while cleaning the ce. They were all taken aback by this weird scene.

    Since introducing his right-hand man, Zhao Yao, to the supercats, King George had not set foot into the extradimensional belly. Without inte in there, Matcha would never enter that ce willingly.

    When he noticed Zhao Yao¡¯s exuberant mood, he could not help but asked Dust Ball, ¡°What did that stupid guy do inside your belly? Why is he so happy all of a sudden?¡±

    Dust Ball slid Matcha a nce and exined, ¡°He hasmitted all sorts of atrocities that you could possibly imagine inside it. He had literally turned my belly upside down, inside out. Does he really treat that ce as his home?¡±

    ¡°Oh,¡± Matcha nodded his head to Dust Ball¡¯sint, ¡°In summary, he simply did whatever he deemed fit.¡±

    Dust Ball nodded to Matcha¡¯s summary and continued, ¡°You are right! Zhao Yao is growing increasingly cocky these days.¡±

    A glimmer of excitement shed across Matcha¡¯s face as he thought, ¡°The cats have started to grow unhappy against Zhao Yao¡¯s rule. Zhao Yao, we, cats, have elevated you to your current position. Simrly, we can bring you down as well.

    ¡°Hmph, I guess he has already lost the cats¡¯ confidence. This means that I¡¯m a step closer to seeding his throne.¡±

    At this moment, Zhao Yao had finally finished cleaning the caf¨¦ and announced, ¡°Time to go! Elizabeth, we¡¯ll go back home for a while before I bring you to the cinemas!¡± Zhao Yao had actually lived up his promise to Elizabeth.

    Elizabeth¡¯s eyes sparkled with excitement as she raced towards Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Elizabeth, do you have any movie preference?¡±

 Chapter 261: Tiny Times!?!

    <h4>Chapter 261: Tiny Times!?!</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Within a conference room in Jiangmen city, Inspector Ho buried his head in a pile of papers. He let out a long sigh as he stared at the two men sitting opposite him ¨C Lin Chen and Yue Shan. He asked, ¡°How is it? Do you have any lead on the golden man¡¯s case?¡±

    ¡°No,¡± Lin Chen replied as he shook his head dejectedly, ¡°Nothing came up when I went to check the surveince in the area. None of the six gym instructors had any clue as to the golden man¡¯s identity. However, we have some idea as to why a fight broke out between the golden man and the cat.¡±

    The three of them began their discussion on Muscle Society before Yue Shan interjected, ¡°Nowadays, both the apostles and supercats have developed a better control and grasp of their powers. Even if we don¡¯t start hunting them down like what the Americans did, we should not allow them to do whatever they want.

    Just look at Muscle Society! They¡¯ve been hiding in the dark all this while and they have this training power which is simply limitless. We cannot allow these organizations to continue growing.¡±

    Inspector Ho kept silent but simply let out another long sigh. He knew that this was easier said than done.

    There were many reasons why the government chose to adopt a less aggressive approach to the entire supercat situation. Chief amongst them was simply because there were too many supercats.

    Even though the percentage of supercats and apostles amongst the entire poption was less than .01%, this number was still far toorge for China which had a poption exceeding 1.3 billion.

    Any aggressive top-down approach would simply result in too many casualties on both sides. The higher-ups simply could not take this risk.

    Hence, they had decided on a more friendly approach and started managing the supercats and apostles as friends instead of enemies.

    However, Inspector Ho nodded his head and asserted, ¡°It¡¯s true, we have to quicken our pace. This Cat Kingpetition would be our best opportunity topile a list of supercats and apostles in the area. With their info in our database, it would be a lot easier to manage them.¡±

    Actually, thispetition was not solely organized by the four cat kings. The government also had a part to y in this wide-scale organization. Thispetition was not exclusive to Jiangmen City. Every single province in China had organized their localpetitions. This was an attempt to contact individuals who were unwilling to be in touch with the government or to identify supercats which had recently awakened their powers.

    Through the grueling battles between the apostles, the government officials hope to persuade them and lure them to join their side.

    Secondly, the title of Cat King could allow the government to control all the apostles and supercats in an unofficial appointment.

    ¡°I am confident that I will win thispetition!¡± Yue Shan roared as he started pounding against his chest. However, a frown appeared on his face as heined, ¡°However why are there so few apostles involved in these fights? Can¡¯t the higher-ups just send more people?¡±

    Inspector Ho let out a bitterugh and exined, ¡°You know things are not as simple as you thought, especially when it concerns your power of psychokinesis. Do you think they dare to entrust this power to more people?¡±

    Even though the apostle army was not the number one priority in the government agenda, it was still something which they had dedicated significant resources to. However, they were extremely selective in the selection of apostles, which exined the poor numbers.

    Ultimately, superpowers were a whole new ball game aspared to technology. Too many superpowers lurking around were still a threat to our modern society.

    For example, if a group of apostles, which had the power of psychokinesis, sat down for a meeting and one of them suddenly got strangled to death. No one could determine who was at fault.

    Unlike conventional weapons like pistols and swords, powers like psychokinesis were shapeless and invisible. You could kill people without moving an inch.

    The wide-scale proliferation of such immense powers was simply too dangerous and risky.

    Hence, the exact course of action was still being discussed by the higher-ups.

    Meanwhile, Lin Chen¡¯s power of extreme speed was significantly easier to control. Hence, there were far more government apostles with the power of extreme speed than psychokinesis.

    Hence, the apostles with extreme speed and psychokinesis formed the bulk of the apostle army in Jiangmen City. Every city in China had their unique apostle army with unique abilities.

    Another area of focus for the government would be the growth of the supercat¡¯s power.

    Suddenly, Inspector Ho¡¯s voice broke the silence, ¡°Remember to keep an eye out on this Muscle Society.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I have already sent my subordinates out on 24 hours duty to keep track of their movements.¡± Lin Chen lifted his shoulders in a half shrug andmented, ¡°I¡¯m just afraid that they have already gone into hiding.¡±

    Inspector Ho recognized his concern and nodded his head, ¡°During the Cat Kingpetition, we must keep an eye out for them. Currently, they were in the process of expanding and strengthening their powers. It¡¯s extremely likely that they would appear in thepetition.¡±

    At the entrance of Moonlight Elementary School, a chubby boy stood outside and craned his neck between the gates sneakily.

    Suddenly, he started jumping up and down when he noticed Xiao Yu carrying a red haversack as she made her way out of the gates.

    ¡°Xiao Yu! Xiao Yu! Are you free tonight?¡±

    Xiao Yu¡¯s forehead creased together as she replied coolly, ¡°I havee to understand a simple truth during my short time spent in the world.¡±

    This reply left the chubby boy all curious as he asked, ¡°What is it?¡±

    Xiao Yu let out a sigh before continuing, ¡°There is a limit to an elementary school student¡¯s ability.¡±

    This reply left the chubby boy dumbfounded.

    Xiao Yu replied, ¡°I¡¯vee to realize how powerless elementary students are the more I act cute and the more I throw my tantrum. Unless I can surpass it.¡±

    ¡°Xiao Yu, what are you trying to say?¡±

    ¡°Wei Zai, I¡¯m not going to be a student anymore.¡± Xiao Yu stared at the fat boy who remained dumbfounded and continued exining, ¡°I have applied to skip a grade. I will be studying in the neighboring middle school starting from next semester. I guess we won¡¯t have any more chance to y together in the future. Don¡¯t spend your time looking for me. Anyway, the pretty girl from our neighboring ss is quite a gold-digger. She will suit you perfectly.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Sadness clouded the fat boy¡¯s features as he whispered, ¡°What about the movie tickets that I have bought?¡±

    ¡°Oh? Movie Tickets?¡± Xiao Yu suddenly jolted with energy upon hearing the word, ¡°What movie is it?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s the tickets for Tiny Times.¡± The chubby boy replied with tears welled up in his eyes, ¡°I heard that you really wanted to watch this movie. I saved up my entire weeks¡¯ worth of pocket money for it.¡±

    Xiao Yu immediately snatched the tickets from his hands and replied, ¡°Hmph, let¡¯s go for the movie tonight then. I will help you take care of these tickets for now. I¡¯ll meet you in an hour¡¯s time at the entrance of the cinema.¡±

    ...

    One hourter, the fat boy stood at the entrance with his hairbed into the neatest pompadour. He even donned on his most expensive Supreme T-Shirt. From afar, he had already noticed Xiao Yu appearing from the horizons. He immediately dashed towards her.

    ¡°Eh, Xiao Yu, you brought along a cat and a dog?¡± The chubby boy never expected Xiao Yu to bring her pets for a movie.

    ¡°Are you stupid? I obviously had to use the pretense of walking my dog in order to leave my house! Am I supposed to tell my mum that I¡¯m going out for a movie with you? They will think I¡¯m in a rtionship!¡±

    ¡°Xiao Yu, is your cat taking a shit?¡± The chubby buy pointed towards Fish Ball whose tail was quivering violently.

    Xiao Yu immediately sent a kick across Fish Ball¡¯s butt and caused him to retract his feces back into his intestines.

    ¡°Stupid cat! Do you expect me to pick up your shit in public? Go use the toilet bowl when we return home.¡±

    Woof! Woof! Woof! Fish Ball throbbed with anger and retorted, ¡°Isn¡¯t shitting the purpose of walking your dog? If not, why did you even bring me out?¡±

    Naturally, all Xiao Yu heard was a bunch of meows. However, she would not bother even if she understood his words. She simply dragged her pets along as they made their way towards the cinema.

    ¡°Stupid elementary school student, you have grown way too cocky.¡± Fish Ball growled as he death red Xiao Yu who dragged him along the streets. He then swept his eyes towards Noodle and shouted, ¡°Boss, we need to teach her a lesson. We need to show her who is the true boss here!¡±

    Noodle simply gave a dismissive wave of his paw and pacified him, ¡°Do not get too agitated. We are still not ready for a full-on fight against humans. We shall just let her continue behaving haughtily for now.¡±

    Meanwhile, Wei Zai tapped on Xiao Yu¡¯s shoulder and asked, ¡°Xiao Yu, are you sure you wanna bring your pets along? I don¡¯t think the cinemas allow any animals inside.¡±

    ¡°How is that possible?¡± In the end, Xiao Yu just left the pair of cat and dog in the garden opposite the cinemas. She simply stuffed the entire length of leash into Fish Ball¡¯s mouth and instructed, ¡°The two of you will just stay here obediently. Do not wander off too far. Also, if you cannot control your bowel movement, just settle it in the bushes and remember to bury them.¡±

    After rying her instructions, Xiao Yu proceeded towards the cinemas with a spring in her steps.

    Wei Zai was somewhat confused by her behavior and asked, ¡°Xiao Yu, won¡¯t they get stolen? Are you sure that this is a good arrangement?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Xiao Yu simply waved the tickets in her hands and asked, ¡°By the way, why did you wash your hair with pomade?¡±

    ¡°Hey, that¡¯s an exaggeration!¡± Wei Zai¡¯s face immediately turned scarlet with embarrassment, ¡°I only applied a handful of pomade to style my hair.¡±

    ¡°How about your Supreme T-shirt and your stupid zer? For a moment, I thought you were participating in a reality TV show.¡±

    Wei Zai quivered with anger as rage seared through him, ¡°Who is participating in that stupid reality TV show. I¡¯m not even a kindergarten student anymore!¡±

    Meanwhile, Woof! Woof! Woof!

    ¡°What is the meaning of this?¡± Fish Ball¡¯s every muscle tensed as his body locked up with rage. He retorted at the top of his lungs, ¡°Why does she get to watch a movie while we have to endure the cold wind outside?¡±

    ¡°Hmph, Fish Ball, this is nothing.¡± Noodle assured him with a snigger, ¡°I could easily break free from this leash with my superpower. We will just escape while she¡¯s inside the theater. This is a good time for us to return to Hanada district and discuss our ns to take down Hanada 2. As for that silly elementary school student, we¡¯ll just let her wallow in self-pity for losing her pets.¡±

    Noodle observed as Xiao Yu and the chubby boy disappeared into the main door. He then let out two loud cries, ¡°Fish Ball, watches me break free from this leash!¡±

    10 secondster ...

    20 secondster ...

    30 secondster ...

    Cold sweat beaded Noodle¡¯s forehead as he noticed that the leash remained in ce. He began screaming in his head, ¡°F*cking Nekomata. He must have gone in with Xiao Yu for that stupid movie! I can never trust that silly cat!¡±

    The husky let out a few coughs as he turned his head towards Fish Ball, who simply stared at him with eyes brimming with anticipation. He exined, ¡°Actually, it¡¯s quite nice to walk around with this leash. At least, people will know that we have an owner and will reduce mankind¡¯s hostility towards us.¡±

    ¡°Oh, that¡¯s why. What are we gonna do next? Fish Ball asked wide-eyed, ¡°Are we meeting Scar Eye and Chrysanthemum?¡±

    ¡°No!¡± Noodle instantly shot down Fish Ball¡¯s suggestion. He cocked his head towards the starry sky and proimed, ¡°I have given serious thought about it. We have all the cats, territory and catmint that we could possibly need. All we arecking now is money.¡±

    ¡°Money?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. Every single war fought on the surface of this Earth had been won with money.¡± The husky propped his chin on his paw and continued, ¡°We will need money to conquer more districts and recruit more supercats. With money, we can buy all sorts of cat food, canned food, and even seafood. With our monopoly over catmint, our empire will be invincible!¡±

    ¡°But where do we get this money?¡± Fish Ball asked with his mouth set into a hard line, ¡°Are we gonna steal the money from Xiao Yu¡¯s purse?¡± Just the thought of it sent his body shaking like a leaf. Fish Ball bit back a scream and whispered, ¡°I don¡¯t think that¡¯s a good idea.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, that little girl only has so little money. Her money is peanuts in my eyes. I am Noodle, King of Hanada, first of his name. I have already prepared a n.¡± Noodle announced smugly.

    ¡°Wow!¡± Fish Ball looked at Noodle with amazement. He went to his knees and eximed, ¡°No wonder you are King Hanada! You havee up with a money-making n in a matter of seconds! Tell me your n!¡±

    Noodle revealed a lopsided smile and whispered, ¡°There is nothing illegal in the eyes of cats and dogs.¡±

    ...

    Suddenly, the husky¡¯s attention was attracted to an elderly man walking down the streets with a walking stick in hand. An evil glint shed across his eyes as he muttered, ¡°That is our target. I¡¯m sure an old man with a walking stick cannot put up much of a fight.¡±

    A minuteter, the pair of cat and dog scurried down the streets and screamed for their lives. Behind them was the old man stabbing them with his walking stick.

    ¡°Stupid cat! Stupid dog! How dare you try to steal my money?¡±

    ¡°You think you can bully me just because I¡¯m old?¡±

    ¡°You think I¡¯ve been practicing kung fu my entire life for nothing?¡±

    A few minutester, the pair of cat and dog was seen limping down the same street.

    Fish Ball struggled to catch his breath, probably because of his swollen face impeding his breathing. He bawled andmented, ¡°Humans are so strong!¡±

    The husky also seemed somewhat disillusioned as he reasoned, ¡°That¡¯s why I have to hide my power. I cannot just sh them in front of everyone. However, I¡¯m sure not all of them are so strong. There will definitely be a weak one hiding amongst them.¡±

    Suddenly, the same glint returned to his eyes. This time, he had noticed a person lying face down on the floor. There was nothing beneath his knees. From time to time, pedestrians would toss their spare change into the bowl in front of him.

    ¡°It¡¯s him! This guy will not be able to catch up to us!¡±

    Momentster, the husky was running away with the bowl of money in his mouth. Behind him was Fish Ball who was struggling to keep up.

    Noodle retorted, ¡°Isn¡¯t that guy handicapped? Why did he suddenly have his limbs back?¡±

    ¡°No, no, I cannot take this anymore.¡± Fish Ball copsed to the floor as his body began shuddering violently, ¡°I will die if I have to take another step forward.¡±

    ¡°Useless fe.¡± The husky turned around and swung the fat cat over his shoulders. ¡°Hold on tight,¡± He instructed as he began running away.

    He finally managed to lose his pursuer and had somehow returned to the entrance of the cinema. Both the cat and dog were gasping for breath but joy welled up inside their hearts as he eximed, ¡°We have finally seeded.¡±

    However, he instantly plunged into despair when he took a look at the contents of the bowl.

    ¡°D*mn it, we have lost all our money from the running!¡±

    Just when they were busy wallowing in self-pity, they suddenly noticed a human throwing a coin into their bowl.

    ¡°Huh?¡± The husky beamed from ear to ear and eximed, ¡°That¡¯s a n!¡±

    Momentster, the hordes of crowd that went passed the cinema noticed this incredible scene.

    A dog was crawling forward with both his hind legs dragging behind him. A bowl was hanging loosely from his mouth with a few coins inside.

    A few girls walked in front of the dog and burst into screams.

    ¡°Hey, take a look! This dog is so pitiful!¡±

    ¡°I think his legs are broken!¡±

    ¡°He still has to carry that cat with his broken legs? This is so cute!¡±

    A couple walked towards the dog as the woman stopped in front of him. She could not help but feel sorry for him, ¡°What happened to this husky? Is he asking for money? Let¡¯s give him some money.¡±

    ¡°A dog wouldn¡¯t even understand the concept of money. The fact that he has a leash on him simply means that his owner is using him to ask for money. If you give him money, it¡¯s as good as giving his maniptive owner.¡±

    ¡°Come on, just give him a little. He seems so pitiful! And he has that cute kitty on his back!¡±

    The husky started smiling secretly as the sound of the coins nking against his bowl. They were music to his ears.

    At this moment, a man walked past him and threw a half-eaten bun into the bowl.

    The husky nced at the half-eaten bun and realized that all that was left was the skin of it. He slid the man a condescending re and screamed, ¡°Scumbag!¡±

    However, the man¡¯s ears quivered as he looked directly back at him.

    With his eyes squinted into a hard line, Zhao Yao began scrutinizing the pair of husky and American shorthair standing opposite him. His right eyebrow shot up as he mumbled, ¡°Why do I feel ... did someone just scold me?¡±

    Elizabeth who was squeezed within Zhao Yao¡¯s oversized jacket was growing impatient and pped her paw against his chest, ¡°Faster, Zhao Yao! It¡¯s about to start. You are gonna get uste!¡±

    ¡°Who told you to vomit your dinner? You are the one wasting my time.¡± Zhao Yao retorted. His eyes swept back towards that pair but somehow he had a bad feeling about them, ¡°Silly cat, were you the one who scolded me?¡±

    The husky also slid Zhao Yao a condescending re. Somehow, he had developed an inexplicable disgust towards him, all he wanted to do was give Zhao Yao a nasty bite on his leg. However, he had no idea where his abhorrence for Zhao Yao rooted from?

    The Husky shook his head violently in an attempt to suppress his anger. He slid Fish Ball a guarded look andmunicated telepathically, ¡°Do not respond to this guy. He seems to be able to understand our words. Do not expose our identities.¡±

    ¡°Hmph,¡± Fish Ball nodded his head and put on his best pretense acting as an ordinary cat.

    ¡°Maybe my ears yed a trick on me.¡± Zhao Yao continued munching on the half-eaten bun in his hand as his eyes continued drifting between the cat and dog. Finally, he decided to try his luck.

    ¡°Since the two of you cannot even understand humannguage, what¡¯s the point of having all these money?¡± Zhao Yao squatted next to them and reached his arm towards the bowl of coins. He swooped all the coins away and reced it with his bun instead.

    ¡°Hmph, I¡¯m actually doing you guys a favor. The money would be wasted on you. On the other hand, a freshly made bun can help fill your stomach. I¡¯ll just treat these coins as the price for my bun.¡±

    A vein popped on his forehead as his temple throbbed with rage as the husky witnessed Zhao Yao taking away his money right under his nose.

    ¡°This scumbag! I just wanna bite him to death!¡±

    ¡°Control, control. Noodle, you will be Jiangmen City¡¯s cat king one day, it¡¯s not worth it to lose your temple over such a childish person.¡±

    Noodle tried his best to suppress the raging fury within him as he started brainstorming for an idea. Suddenly, the husky burst out barking.

    Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!

    His incessant barking managed to attract the attention of the passersby. One elderlydy, who witnessed Zhao Yao¡¯s action, even walked up to him andmented, ¡°Young fe, do you have to resort to stealing a dog¡¯s money?¡±

    ¡°Oh my god, you¡¯re a disgrace to mankind. How can you even bear to steal a dog¡¯s money?¡±

    ¡°Quickly return him his money!¡±

    A sneaky smile crept up the husky¡¯s face when he saw how the passersby hade to his support. He thought, ¡°I guess you can only return me my money after this public outrage.¡±

    Fish Ball screamed telepathically, ¡°Noodle Boss, that¡¯s so sick!¡±

    ¡°Oh,¡± Zhao Yao knew that there was something special about the two of them. Originally, Zhao Yao would have returned them the money if he had concluded that they were ordinary pets. However, their behavior seemed somewhat unusual, somewhat intelligent

    ¡°Attracting the pedestrian¡¯s attention by using its bark? Is this merely a coincidence or ...¡±

    Zhao Yao turned around to face the raging crowd. He burst outughing and exined, ¡°This is just a misunderstanding. These two are my pets. I just went out to get some necessities and I told them to wait here. I have no idea where they got this bowl from.¡±

    Naturally, Zhao Yao knew that none of them would believe a single rubbish he uttered. He lowered his head as a red glimmer shed across his eyes, under his droopy eyelids.

    He waved at his ¡®pets¡¯ direction and eximed, ¡°Wei Zongxian, Li Lianying, it¡¯s time to go home!¡±

    ¡°Who would listen to your stupidmand?¡± Suddenly, the husky¡¯s body froze. Despite how hard he struggled, he had already lost control over his body as he stood on his feet and stopped next to Zhao Yao on his own ord.

    The elderlydy was taken aback by this scene and could only let out an awkwardugh and replied, ¡°Hey young man ... that¡¯s quite a unique name for your pets.¡± The crowd that gathered around them started to disperse. Some kind-hearted individuals even came forward to advise Zhao Yao to never leave his pets alone.

    Seeing that they were finally alone, Zhao Yao brought the pair to a deste corner of the garden before lifting his power.

    He grabbed a handful of coins from his pocket and emptied them into his wallet, one by one.

    Anger thundered through Noodle as he witnessed Zhao Yao¡¯s obnoxious behavior. The intensity of his anger escted when he saw Zhao Yao¡¯s sly smile. He had no idea why but he just found Zhao Yao¡¯s face so irritating and exasperating.

    ¡°Look, there¡¯s so much more.¡±

    ¡°I can buy so many buns with this fortune.¡±

    I can even buy the premium roast pork bun with this!¡±

    ¡°Hmph, maybe I can bring them back and use them to earn even more money!¡± Zhao Yao eximed as excitement shot out of his eyes.

    Noodle could no longer suppress the raging fire within him when the rain of mockery continually pelted against him.

    ¡°Fish Ball. Take care of him.¡±

    A glimmer shed across Fish Ball¡¯s eyes as two beams of blinding light shot out of its palms, directly into Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°This should be able to blind you, you f*cker.¡±

    Noodle snarled and revealed its razor-sharp teeth. In one swift motion, he had pounced towards Zhao Yao and sank his teeth into Zhao Yao¡¯s arm.

    Zhao Yao sniggered, ¡°How na?ve!¡±

    After time resumed, the pair of dog and cat realized that they were chained to a pole in the garden. The entire length of the leash was also tied to the pole.

    They just couldn¡¯t seem to break free despite how much they struggled.

    The husky went to his feet and let out a deafening roar, ¡°Scumbag! Come back and release us now! If I use my power, I will instantly bite you to death!¡±

    Fish Ball tagged along to the husky¡¯s roar, ¡°That¡¯s right, human! Release my king! If not, you will be simply courting your own death! No one in this world can save you from my boss¡¯s ferocious bite!¡±

    Zhao Yao gave a half shrug of his shoulders and curled his lips in disgust. He raised his palms in the air before mming it against their mouths.

    ¡°Look out for my shit wave!¡±

    In the illusion, a flood of feces swarmed into their mouths relentlessly. Fish Ball struggled incessantly and spat all around the ce, leaving his chin smothered with saliva.

    Initially, the husky was ovee with shock and fear. His forehead creased together as all his features scrunched up into a mess. Subconsciously, he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. Immediately, he was inundated by a shocking realization, ¡°Why don¡¯t I find it disgusting at all? It ... It¡¯s even ... no! How can this happen?¡±

    He just copsed against the ground and imitated Fish Ball¡¯s agonizing expression and started foaming at his mouth.

    Zhao Yao bent next to them and rested his chin on his palms. His curiosity had been piqued by the pair of them as he thought, ¡°I didn¡¯t know that there were superdogs as well. Nature is really such an amazing thing.¡±

    With a snap of his finger, he had lifted the illusion as the pair of them went back to their feet.

    Fish Ball struggled to stand as his body continued shaking like a leaf. He could still vividly taste the residual scent left behind by the atrocious things.

    Noodle could not get enough of it and continued savoring the taste on his lips. Finally, he reacted to the situation and swung his head towards Zhao Yao, ¡°Human! You are dead! How dare you feed me with shit! In a moment¡¯s time, you will understand the true meaning of despair. You have justmitted the dumbest mistake in your life. After this movie, I¡¯ll destroy you!¡±

    ¡°Hmph,¡± With a pool of feces in his palm, Zhao Yao stretched open the husky¡¯s mouth and asked, ¡°Am I dead for sure?¡±

    ¡°Am I stupid?¡± Before the husky could react, Zhao Yao had stuffed the handful down his throat.

    ¡°Destroy me?¡± Zhao Yao whipped out another handful from the ground and stuffed it further down his throat.

    ¡°No!¡± The husky tried his best to hide the smile on his face as his body contorted and gagged to continue his pretense, ¡°How dare you feed me with feces? You are evil!¡±

    Meanwhile, he licked the residue of his lips and pressed his paws gently against Zhao Yao, ¡°No! Stop feeding me with shit!¡±

    ¡°Ahhh, my mouth is getting destroyed!¡± The husky started rolling across the ground and screamed, ¡°Ah, this shit is so disgusting! I¡¯m going to vomit everything out!¡±

    Momentster, Zhao Yao had lifted the illusion and the husky raised his head to the sight of Zhao Yao and Fish Bal sliding him a condescending re from a distance away.

    Fish Ball and Zhao Yao stared at Noodle with a look of disdain as if he were a trash.

    Zhao Yaomented, ¡°That guy seemed like he was enjoying the entire process.¡±

    With shock clouding his features, Fish Ball replied, ¡°Hmph, I even noticed a smile on his face while he was eating all that shit.¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°I guess it¡¯s true that dogs really appreciate eating shit.¡±

    Fish Ball gave a one-word reply, ¡°Disgusting.¡±

    Zhao Yao tagged along,¡± Scumbag.¡±

    Woof! Woof! Woof! The husky started jumping up and down, eager toe to his own defense, ¡°No, I do not enjoy eating shit at all! Fish Ball, you have to trust me!¡±

    Pshh! Fish Ball simply spat in Noodle¡¯s direction and gave Noodle a death re before whispering, ¡°Rubbish.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s enough!¡± Noodle¡¯s body locked with rage as he eximed, ¡°Is there anything wrong with a dog eating his own shit? Can you me me for enjoying this? You will also fall in love with this when you be a dog yourself!¡±

    ¡°I never expected you to be so disgusting.¡± Fish Ball instantly cocked his head away from Noodle and towards Zhao Yao. He then tapped on Zhao Yao¡¯s calf and pleaded with tears welled up in his eyes, ¡°Human, could you kindly release me from this leash. I need to leave this ce immediately! I must stay away from that perverted dog.¡±

    Bam! Zhao Yao¡¯s palm simply flew across the sky before itnded on his cheeks. Zhao Yao retorted, ¡°Don¡¯t act all friendly with me. Don¡¯t you have an owner? Why do you have to cheat other¡¯s money in front of a cinema? Tell me everything. I expect no lies if not ...¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at the husky who continued to relish the residual shit on his lips and could not help but roll his eyes. Zhao Yao continued demanding, ¡°If you lie to me, I¡¯ll flood your mouths with soil and dirt.¡±

    Boom! Fish Ball had instantly copsed to the ground with his finger pointing in the husky¡¯s direction, ¡°This perverted dog forced me to do it. Originally, I was an extremely obedient domestic cat. I used to live a peaceful and blissful life. However, this dog led me astray.

    Today, our owner instructed us to wait outside the cinema for her, but this dog forced me to participate in his fraud to cheat people¡¯s money! Boohooo!¡±

    ¡°This stupid cat.¡± The husky stared at Fish Ball with a look of disdain from afar. He continued, ¡°You don¡¯t have to make things sound so bad. I am earning money using my own abilities. How is this even considered a fraud? Is there anyw in the constitution which states that dogs are not allowed to beg on the streets?¡±

    Amidst the bbering and arguing, Zhao Yao had somewhat understood the entire situation. Most probably, their owners had sneaked off for a movie, while leaving his pets here. In the end, this husky decided to bring the American Shorthair along when he went begging for money.

    ¡°Their owner is too careless. How can he just leave his pets out in the public alone? Isn¡¯t he afraid that they might get into some sort of trouble?¡± Zhao Yao wiped off the sweat umting on his forehead and asked, ¡°So what powers do the two of you have?¡±

    ¡°I recalled this cat being able to project light, so is your power somewhat rted to light?¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin thoughtfully and deliberated, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me it can only project light? I don¡¯t believe that is such a useless ability. Or does it have something to do with aser?¡±

    Zhao Yao was even more curious about the superdog¡¯s ability since it was his first time meeting a superdog amongst the sea of supercats.

    However, the pair of cat and dog would not divulge a single piece of information regarding their superpowers regardless of how hard Zhao Yao tried prying for it.

    Just when Zhao Yao intended to continue grilling them, Elizabeth ran out of patience and craned her head out of his oversized jacket. She retorted, ¡°Zhao Yao, do you have any sorts of time management skills at all? The movie is about to start in two minutes time! Are you not interested in bringing me in?¡±

    ¡°Alright, alright, aren¡¯t we leaving already?¡± Zhao Yao nced at the pair who remained tied to the barricade as he made his way into the cinema with Elizabeth hiding inside his clothes. His n was to send Elizabeth in before he came out for the pair of them.

    His objective was to talk to their owner and remind him how dangerous it was to adopt such a nonchnt attitude when raising these intelligent pets.

    Since Elizabeth¡¯s head popped out of Zhao Yao¡¯s clothes, Fish Ball¡¯s eye had already been glued to Zhao Yao¡¯s body. He did not even blink until Zhao Yao disappeared behind the doors into the cinema.

    The husky noticed Fish Ball¡¯s lustful smile and sneered, ¡°Fish Ball, can you wipe away the saliva all over your lips?¡±

    Fish Ball raised his paws and immediately wiped his face from all the saliva. His heart had skipped many beats as he thought, ¡°Is that ... Princess Qian? No, she is extremely simr to Princess Qian but they are not identical. I never expected to meet such a beautiful cat in my lifetime.¡± Just the thought of Elizabeth sent saliva trickling down his lips again.

    ¡°He has gone retarded.¡± The husky stared contemptuously at Fish Ball before he began tugging at the leash attached to his neck.

    ...

    On the other hand, Elizabeth had sessfully sneaked into the cinemas by hiding inside Zhao Yao¡¯s jacket and the concealment provided by her illusion.

    A giant smile had never once faded since Elizabeth set food into the cinemas. She was filled with curiosity and anticipation with everything that she saw, be it the popcorn dispenser, the ticketing counter, the movie posters or even therge screen monitors.

    Everything seemed so new and exciting since it was her first visit to a cinema.

    Her eyes shot out beams of excitement when she saw how popcorn literally popped out of the machine. She could not hide her excitement as she pped against Zhao Yao¡¯s chest, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! I want to eat that! Popcorn!¡±

    Zhao Yao curled his lips and replied, ¡°This is bad for your health. I will simply replicate the taste with your illusion.¡±

    ¡°No!¡± Elizabeth was adamant on savoring the freshly popped popcorn on her tongue. Her white meaty paws continued ramming against Zhao Yao¡¯s chest as she insisted, ¡°I want to eat popcorn! I want to eat popcorn! I want to eat popcorn!¡±

    ¡°Alright! Alright!¡± Zhao Yao could not take her ceaseless begging anymore and give in to her request by buying arge popcorn.

    Finally, they had made their way to their seat. Zhao Yao observed the blue-eyed Elizabeth staring exuberantly at the screen and could not help but smiled.

    ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! Why is there nothing on the screen?¡±

    ¡°The movie has not started yet. Just wait for a while more.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes swept across the cinema and realized that he was caught in a sea of teenage girls.

    He rolled his eyes and muttered, ¡°This is really Tiny Times.¡±

    Before the movie even began, Zhao Yao had left an instruction to Elizabeth, ¡°Elizabeth, just stay on your seat obediently. I¡¯ll go out and take a look at the pair of superdog and supercat. I¡¯ll be back when the movie ends to bring you home.¡±

    Elizabeth simply waved her hand instinctually as she replied nonchntly, ¡°Okay.¡± Actually, all her attention had been focused on the bright screen in front of her.

    In everyone¡¯s eyes, Elizabeth was simply Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao ran out of the cinema before he slowly crept towards the pair of them. From afar, he was greeted by the scene of them tugging and biting on their leashes. Evidently, they were trying to escape.

    However, what caught Zhao Yao attention wasn¡¯t their behavior, it was his favorite exmation marks floating on top of their heads.

    ¡°Time to harvest some experience!¡± Zhao Yao cackled before he turned himself into an orange cat before he sauntered in their direction.

    ¡°Hey, how are you, I am Matcha. Is there anything that I can help you with?¡± The orange cat asked with an amiable smile.

    The husky grew extremely excited when he noticed this orange cat¡¯s appearance. He started jumping towards him and eximed, ¡°Supercat? Quicklye here and help me! I am King Hanada of Hanada district. If you can get me out, I will reward you with a lifetime worth of cat food. When I be Cat King of Jiangmen City, I will crown you my general!¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t this a dog?¡± Zhao Yao was left speechless by the cat king standing opposite him. No matter how he looked at it, the husky did not resemble a cat one bit.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect a dog to be crowned as a cat king.¡±

    However, that did not stop him from epting the mission with a smile on his face. Simrly, he turned his head to Fish Ball and epted the same mission from him.

    With two pairs of eyes, brimming with hope, staring at him, Zhao Yao replied, ¡°Do not worry, leave it to me.¡±

    In their eyes, they just saw the orange cat lift his paw in the air and the leash tied to them immediately loosened. They were finally free.

    Instantly, Zhao Yao had earned 40 experience points. With a smile stered on his face, Zhao Yao looked in their direction and said, ¡°I¡¯ll be leaving first, good luck with whatever you¡¯re doing.¡± His body had already vanished into thin air as his words rang in their heads.

    ¡°Do not leave, my hero!¡± The husky grew extremely agitated and started barking incessantly. He had hoped to recruit this orange cat under him and never expected him to leave so suddenly.

    Fish Ball cocked his head sideways as images of Zhao Yao continued flooding his head. He just found Zhao Yao so familiar.

    ¡°At least we managed to escape.¡± The husky eximed as he began running away, ¡°Let¡¯s go Fish Ball, if not we¡¯ll get caught by that scumbag again.¡±

    However, his excitement was cut short after taking just one step forward. The husky felt something tugging at his neck. He turned around to see Zhao Yao, smiling sheepishly, with a pair of leash in his hands.

    ¡°Trying to escape?¡±

    With a loud thud, Fish Ball had once again copsed to the floor, bawling, and pleading, ¡°Benovelent human, he was the one who tried to escape! He even forced me to run with him. I had no choice!¡± Fish Ball¡¯s entire bodyy tly across the ground as he begged for forgiveness.

    ¡°Fish Ball, have you lost every shred of dignity?¡± Noodle retorted, ¡°This was the person who forced you to eat shit!¡±

    ¡°And you think you are better than him?¡± Fish Ball began crawling towards Zhao Yao on all fours, inch by inch. Suddenly, he wrapped his body around Zhao Yao¡¯s calf and burst out crying, ¡°This is a heartless and evil dog. Not only did he force me tomit all sorts of atrocities, he even ... he even ... he even ...¡±

    ¡°Oh my god, don¡¯t tell me he actually did that?¡± Zhao Yao observed Fish Ball trembling in fear and had a premonition of what that cat had to endure under his evil clutches.

    However, what came out of the cat¡¯s mouth was vastly different from what he expected, ¡°This dog forced me to behave like his kind! I had to pee like a dog by raising my hind leg! I couldn¡¯t control and my urine went all over the ce, including my fur! In the end, I¡¯m neither a cat nor a dog. I¡¯m simply stripped of my identity!¡±

    Noodle quivered with indignation and roared, ¡°Silly cat! You were the one who insisted that you wanted to be a dog! You were the one who imed that it was morefortable to pee in this manner!¡±

    ¡°You forced me to do it!¡± Fish Ball retorted as his body trembled with rage, ¡°Anybody would resort to lies if you have a giant dog biting your ass!¡±

    Zhao Yao soon grew tired of their incessant bickering and gave a sudden tug on their leashes, ¡°Alright stopining! The two of you just stay here obediently.¡± He then went on to retie the leashes before leaving.

    ¡°Do not try to escape. I have my eyes on the both of you.¡±

    Seeing Zhao Yao disappeared into the crowds of people, Noodle crept forward and gently patted against the American Shorthair¡¯s head. He whispered into his ears, ¡°Fish Ball, from the looks of it, you seem pretty unhappy with me.¡±

    ¡°How is that possible?¡± Fish Ball threw his fists in the air and began cheering, ¡°Long live the king! King Hanada the invincible!¡±

    Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! A storm of ps descended from above andnded on Fish Ball¡¯s face. Amidst the tussle between the both of them, a series of coughs erupted and caught their attention. They raised their heads and saw the orange cat standing in front of them.

    ¡°Hero, is it you? Come and rescue us!¡± Noodle howled at the top of his voice.

    ¡°This is too easy.¡±

    With a snap of his fingers, Zhao Yao had earned another 40 experience points.

    This process repeated a few more times. To be exact, six times. Zhao Yao had earned a total of 240 experience points by duping this pair of ignorant fools. Currently, his BOOK read lv4(4928/5000).

    Zhao Yao¡¯s breathing quickened as he was bursting with joy. He was just 72 points away from his BOOK¡¯s next upgrade. However, he raised his head to a pair who seemed to had grown numb to their ordeal.

    ¡°Oh, hero, you¡¯vee to save us again?¡± The husky said with a voice devoid of emotions. He continued, ¡°Thank you.¡± After the past six experiences, he had started doubting this pair of human and cat, despite how dense he was.

    Naturally, Zhao Yao could not ept any more missions from them.

    Just when Zhao Yao was about to start his next round of torment in order to upgrade his BOOK, an authoritative voice rang in his ears which sent shivers done his spine.

    ¡°Yao Er, why are you bullying my dog?¡±

    Zhao Yao could clearly feel a bead of sweat running down the back of his head. He turned around to see a boy, with a hair full of sticky stuff, and a young girl rushing towards him.

    With her arms folded across his chest, the young girl started ring out at Zhao Yao, ¡°Yao Er, you have grown rather bold. I never expected you toe all the way here and bully my dog.¡±

    Zhao Yao gave a half shrug of his shoulders and replied smugly, ¡°Oh, Xiao Yu, you also came here for a movie?¡±

    ¡°Stop calling me Xiao Yu, it makes us sound so distant. Just address me as Aunt.¡± Xiao Yu took a step forward and continuedmbasting Zhao Yao, ¡°I am asking you a question. Why are you bullying my dog? Don¡¯t make mein to your mother.¡±

    Zhao Yao could feel the hair all over his body stand on ends as he muttered, ¡°D*mn it, just my luck to meet this person here. This is troublesome.¡±

    Fish Ball and Noodle stared at this scene wide-eyed. They had never expected this turn of events. Originally, they thought that this ordeal would never end. From the looks of it, Xiao Yu¡¯s sudden appearance had put an end to his arrogant behavior.

    The chubby boy, Wei Zai, was also somewhat confused by Xiao Yu¡¯s words and asked, ¡°Xiao Yu, is that your nephew? He is really big and tall.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, we are just distant rtives. We aren¡¯t that close.¡± She gave Zhao Yao the most condescending re you could possibly imagine and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be fooled by his appearance. He is rather childish. I heard that he was still a virgin after graduating from college. Currently, his job is to yputer games.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s face instantly turned ck as he interrupted her words, ¡°It is Infm Technology. Furthermore, I have resigned.¡±

    ¡°I guess that just makes you unemployed?¡± Xiao Yu replied with a shake of her head, ¡°I must talk some sense into your mother the next time I see her. She should have never spoilt you to this extent.¡± She then turned her head towards Wei Zai and cautioned him, ¡°Wei Zai, you must study hard and never end up like this man here.¡±

    Wei Zai nodded his head as he looked towards Zhao Yao. His eyes were filled with pity and sympathy.

    Zhao Yao began trembling with anger as he announced slowly, ¡°I am an entrepreneur. I am not unemployed...¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ll talk about thatter.¡± Xiao Yu pointed her index finger at her pets and demanded, ¡°Yao Er, just take a look at how you have treated my pets. Do you think I would just let you leave like that?¡±

    ¡°Hmph,¡± Zhao Yao turned his head around to a scene of Noodle and Fish Ball trembling on the floor. They were even foaming at their mouth.

    ¡°Look at them! Look at all those bubbles!¡± Xiao Yu roared, ¡°I demandpensation! If not, I¡¯ll just have to inform your parents.¡±

    Zhao Yao had enough of this humiliation and retorted, ¡°You actually trust this pair of fools? Don¡¯t tell me that you do not know that they have superpowers.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Xiao Yu mustered her most innocent expression and asked, ¡°What are you talking about? I don¡¯t understand.¡±

    ¡°Stop your pretense.¡± Zhao Yao stretched out his arm and picked up a pebble from across the pavement, ¡°You are not the only one with supercats, but I have to give it to you. This is my first time seeing a superdog.¡±

    Xiao Yu was in shock when she saw Zhao Yao picking up a pebble from 10 meters away. A period of silence ensued before she picked up Fish Ball and entrusted him in his arms.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, can we switch cats?¡±

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao stared dumbfoundedly at this request, ¡°I don¡¯t even know your cat¡¯s ability, why would I bother swapping with you?¡±

    ¡®Haish,¡± Xiao Yu let out a sigh of despair with Fish Ball clutched in her arms, ¡°Yao Er, do you remember how I doted on you when you were young?¡±

    ¡°Stop abusing your seniority!¡± Zhao Yao pressed his index finger to her nose and chided her, ¡°I even carried you in my arms when you were a baby. How could you have taken care of me?¡±

    Xiao Yu was indifferent to Zhao Yao¡¯s reasoning as she ran her fingers through Fish Ball¡¯s fur, ¡°Fish Ball is extremely strong.¡±

    Fish Ball¡¯s body froze as he could detect Xiao Yu¡¯s fingers jamming against his belly. It seemed like any sudden movement he made might possibly cause his belly to explode.

    Wei Zai could not understand a single thing they said and shouted, ¡°What ... What is going on? Xiao Yu, why is this guy talking about superpower and supercats? What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at them before bursting into peals ofughter, ¡°Xiao Yu, is he your boyfriend?¡±

    ¡°Boy ... boyfriend...¡± Wei Zai could not even say the words out loud as his face turned crimson.

    Xiao Yu tucked a lock of hair behind her ears and replied, ¡°I¡¯m not interested in a rtionship with an elementary school student. He¡¯s just a friend.¡±

    ¡°Hey! Why do you have to be like that?¡± Wei Zai¡¯s spirit plummeted.

    Zhao Yao interrupted their squabbles by saying, ¡°Anyway, I am extremely happy with my supercats. I do not wish nor want to exchange them with yours. Hence, you should just take good care of these two.¡±

    Xiao Yu slid the husky a guarded look when Zhao Yao¡¯s words rang in her head. She had no idea that he had also been awakened.

    In the vast sky above them, an invisible figure had slowly drifted to their side. It was Nekomata. He was carefully observing the husky and Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Hmph, from the looks of it, Ho Hao Cang had forgotten about Zhao Yao.¡± However, he decided to put him to a test and eximed, ¡°Hey, do you still remember that person?¡±

    ¡°Of course! He threw a meatless bun at me and took away all my money. He had been tormenting me all these while. I will recognize him even if he¡¯s turned to ashes!¡± Noodle was over the moon to hear Nekomata¡¯s voice and began screaming at him, ¡°Nekomata, destroy him.¡±

    Nekomata simply replied with a shrug of his shoulders, ¡°I don¡¯t think I can do that. This guy is really strong. I am not confident of defeating him in a battle.¡± He knew exactly how strong Zhao Yao was and did not intend to risk his life for a dog.

    Noodle was taken aback by his response, ¡°Even you are not confident in taking him down?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m fine with that if you choose not to exchange.¡± Xiao Yu raised Fish Ball in the sky and brought him right in front of Zhao Yao¡¯s face, ¡°Fish Ball is very obedient. How about I sell him to you at RMB 100,000.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Zhao Yao stared at this pair of innocent-looking bright eyes. He knew exactly what kind of person she was. Instead ofbeling her as a student, a more appropriate term would be the devil.

    ¡°If Fish Ball actually had a useful ability, she would not even sell him to me.¡±

    Since he had already made up his mind, Zhao Yao took a few steps backward and shook his head, ¡°Thanks but no thanks.¡±

    Xiao Yu¡¯s lower lip protruded into a pout as shemented, ¡°Yao Er, Aunty used to dote on you the most. How can you do this to me?¡±

    Her words brought back a string of memories into Zhao Yao¡¯s head. He let out a series of awkwardughs before saying, ¡°It¡¯s okay. Just remember not to leave your pets alone in the future. If any apostles or supercats spot them, they would not hesitate to steal them from you.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s movement was extremely fast. After bidding farewell, he immediately turned his body around and disappeared from her sights Even he could not possibly found out every single superpower in the world. Furthermore, they were rtives and they were bound to meet again.

    ¡°Oh yes, do not call me if you meet with any sorts of problems. Call the police instead. Bye.¡±

    Wei Zai startedughing awkwardly as he saw Zhao Yao disappearing into the cinema, ¡°That¡¯s such a weird person. How can there be superpower or supercats? That thing which he did was definitely magic. He must have prepared that pebble beforehand. Am I right, Xiao Yu?¡±

    When Wei Zai turned his body around, he was ovee with fear and instantly fell to the ground.

    Fish Ball who was cradled in Xiao Yu¡¯s arms started emanating the entire spectrum of visible light from his body.

    Xiao Yu stared at Wei Zao who was trembling in fear and asked coolly, ¡°Do you want to buy this cat?¡±

    Fish Ball continued letting out a soft whimper in Xiao Yu¡¯s arms.

    Xiao Yu added on, ¡°It can project any sorts of light. Furthermore, it does not require any electricity at all.¡±

    Wei Zai struggled to get words out of his mouth, ¡°But ... but I only have RMB 100 left.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s too little.¡± Xiao Yu folded her arms across her chest and continued, ¡°How about this, I¡¯ll lend you for one night. Remember not to tell anyone about this.¡± Deep down, she knew that no one would believe an elementary school student¡¯s words even if he divulged this secret.

    ¡°Yes!¡± Wei Zao responded by nodding his head vigorously with his eyes glued to Fish Ball. He took out the money from his pocket and passed it to Xiao Yu immediately.

    ...

    By the time Zhao Yao had returned to the cinema, Elizabeth was already waiting by the entrance.

    ¡°Have you finished the movie?¡±

    Elizabeth raised her head and nodded, ¡°Zhao Yao, let¡¯s move to a new house.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡±

    Elizabeth continued, ¡°I want to move to a house that can oversee the entire Jiangmen skyline. Preferably, everything inside the house should be shiny and sparkly.¡±

    Zhao Yao simply rolled his eyes and answered, ¡°No money.¡±

    Elizabeth could only let out a sigh of despair and chided him, ¡°Zhao Yao, you are so poor.¡±

    Zhao Yao gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger, ¡°No matter what, I am still your owner.¡± He then grabbed Elizabeth into his arms and went towards the basement carpark.

    Elizabeth continued, ¡°Zhao Yao, it¡¯s okay even if you are poor. I didn¡¯t fall in love with you because of your sports car. Neither was it because of the Louis Vuitton bag you gave me. And definitely not because of the Dolce & Gabbana boots. I would love you even if you were penniless.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes even further back andmented, ¡°Stop using the lines from the movie.¡±

    Elizabeth continued by rattling on, ¡°We live in this vast world whichprises all sorts of cosmic dust and milky ways. Compared to them, we are so insignificant, so small, so unimportant.¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao, I would like a Louis Vuitton bag.¡±

    Zhao Yao was indifferent to her request but noticed the golden exmation mark above her head.

    Mission: A cat also needs her bag!

    Objective: Purchase a Louis Vuitton bag for her. The bag must be to her liking.

    Reward: 50 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    Zhao Yao bit his lower lip as he cursed in his head, ¡°Why did I agree to bring Elizabeth here for Tiny Times. Exchanging cash with experience points is the worst thing ever!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s most pressing concern was that he might actually get addicted to these missions which solely required his mary input.

    However, he felt the throbbing heartache when he nced at the experience points promised. Hence, he took a deep breath and epted the mission.

    This experience points would also allow him to upgrade his BOOK.

    Hence, Zhao Yao drove his Panamera into the shopping district and brought Elizabeth into a Louis Vuitton boutique store to select her bag.

    ¡°Elizabeth, take a look at this. This looks pretty nice.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m quite sure that is the cheapest bag in the entire store.¡±

    ¡°I selected this because it suits your small frame. You are so much smaller than a normal human. A huge bag would notplement your looks.¡±

    The sales personnel in the shop stared at each other dumbfounded. They were left speechless by this man buying a Louis Vuitton for his cat.

    ¡°That¡¯s how a rich man behaves.¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect a cat to ever have a Louis Vuitton bag. My poverty had greatly limited my imagination.¡±

    Under Zhao Yao¡¯s pressure, Elizabeth finally relented and chose the smallest bag. Zhao Yao also let out a sigh of relief.

    With the 100 experience points in hand, his BOOK had turned to lv4(5028/5000). He could finally upgrade his BOOK.

    However, he held his excitement in and sent Elizabeth back home first.

    That was because he had an important decision to make. If he upgraded the BOOK, his most urgent issue was to select a supercat to induct into his BOOK. If not, he had to choose the best cat to pump all his experience points into.

 Chapter 267: The Choice

    <h4>Chapter 267: The Choice</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao scurried back to his bedroom and sat cross-legged on his bed. He began contemting his important decision.

    Zhao Yao had already given his upgrade strategy much consideration over the past month.

    Aspared to upgrading Matcha, Elizabeth, Dust Ball or even Ares, Zhao Yao was more inclined towards upgrading his BOOK.

    Zhao Yao had no idea what new power awaited him when the ability branch appeared. On the other hand, Zhao Yao knew exactly what he would receive when he signed a new supercat to his BOOK.

    After a slight deliberation, Zhao Yao finally set his mind on upgrading his BOOK.

    Once again, he felt overwhelmed by an invisible yet potent force swarming from his head all the way to his feet. Every single bone and shreds of muscle in his body seemed to have melted away from this mighty force.

    A numbing sensation engulfed his body. This unique sensation was a mix of fiery pain coupled with an intense soreness. He could literally feel every strand of nerve being crushed by this force.

    He copsed on to his bed with his body drenched in sweat. It took him a total of five minutes before he managed to get back on his feet.

    The current Zhao Yao had awakened his power of ¡®Four is better than three¡¯, officially incorporating Ares¡¯s intrinsic power.

    His chest rose and sank as he took in a deep breath. The first obvious difference which he detected was his perception power.

    By just skimping across the room, he could see the dust settling into the corner of the room against the dim lighting.

    With a slight quiver of his ears, he had already detected every single living organism within his apartment.

    He took in a few sniffs and was inundated by a smellprising of human, cat and even the stench from the trash.

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao threw his mattress to the ground and saw a bag of catmint hidden beneath it. A smile crept up his face instantly.

    ¡°Haha, is this where Dust Ball had chosen to hide all her stash? Is she under the impression that the most dangerous ce is also the safest one?¡±

    Currently, Zhao Yao¡¯s five senses and observation skills had reached a level that ordinary humans could only dream of. Even when he shut his eyes, his sense of his surroundings was just as strong as when his eyes were open.

    Somehow, he also experienced an incredible improvement in his rity of mind. There seemed to be a stronger connection between what his body and mind perceived.

    ¡°Is this the power of a cat¡¯s instinct?¡± Zhao Yao shook his arms with a smile stered on his face. He felt as if he had just released a heavy load from his body and every movement he made felt so light andfortable.

    ¡°The power of four catsbined together is truly amazing.¡± Zhao Yao spared minimal effort and managed to execute a backflip wlessly. He bent his body forward with his palms pressing against the ground. Instantly, he managed to walk around the apartment using his hands. His agility was as good as any human walking on their two feet.

    He could acutely detect the change in his body, be it his strength, speed, and explosiveness. His body was almostparable to any elite athletes. As for his nimbleness and reaction, he had already exceeded what humans thought was possible.

    ¡°Haha, if I actually took part in the Olympics right now, I¡¯m confident of bringing home a few gold medals in athletics, swimming or even gymnastics.¡±

    After upgrading his BOOK, Zhao Yao just had to recruit a supercat into his BOOK in order toplete the main mission.

    However, Zhao Yao was rather hesitant when it was time for him to make the decision.

    Sphinx Cat¡¯s power would be able to improve Zhao Yao¡¯s body conditioning holistically. Because of the passive nature of his power, Zhao Yao could still receive the benefits of it even when he was using some other cat¡¯s power.

    With this power, it was as good as having a permanent power in his hands. This meant that he could wield two powers simultaneously.

    However, despite the obvious strengths which Sphynx Cat¡¯s power provided, there was a major drawback in this choice. Sphynx Cat¡¯s hostility towards Zhao Yao could not be described with words. Even if he sessfully managed to recruit him, the meager loyalty points would hinder the use of his power.

    That was as good as wasting this opportunity on a cat.

    This brought Zhao Yao to his second option. That was to recruit Lucifer, the cat that promised the power of super-regeneration, into his team.

    Zhao Yao had long craved for this kind of godly power which could potentially save his life.

    Zhao Yao vividly remembered how Hao Cang managed to stay alive after detonating himself with a grenade using this power. With this power, Zhao Yao was as good as being an immortal. He would most probably be alive unless he was buried 50 meters into the seabed.

    Even though Time Distortion allowed Zhao Yao to literally have a second life, this power could only be used once a day.

    If he suffered heavy injuries, such as a fractured or even broken limbs, in a battle, Zhao Yao would have no idea whether to use the ability or not.

    This kind of situation would be the best time for super-regeneration to show its power. It would effectively make Zhao Yao immune to all such injuries.

    ¡°This means I will have super regeneration coupled with Time Distortion. Furthermore, I can even absorb myself into Dust Ball¡¯s stomach or use Ares¡¯s deflective field as a shield!¡± Just the thought of it sent Zhao Yao¡¯s heart racing with excitement. With this power, Zhao Yao chances of survival had increased by a few folds.

    Furthermore, Lucifer¡¯s power could be further enhanced by the BOOK¡¯s ability. Currently, Lucifer¡¯s power on its own was deadly enough. Zhao Yao dared not imagine how strong it could possibly get.

    Suddenly, his eyes sparkled with excitement as a thought crossed his head, ¡°Hmph, even though I might not be able to use his power for myself. I can get Sphynx Cat to lend his powers to Baiquan.¡±

    Zhao Yao had realized that he was unable to borrow a superpower from a supercat like any other apostles when he first met Roly Poly. It might be because of his BOOK or simply because he wasn¡¯t an apostle.

    Even though he wasn¡¯t an apostle, his number one subordinate certainly was.

    ¡°Haha, as long as I get Baiquan to train using Sphynx Cat¡¯s power every day, he would surpass Sphynx Cat¡¯s strength in a few months¡¯ time! Combined with Roly Poly¡¯s power of invisibility and the body Sphynx Cat¡¯s power had endowed him with, he would be an invincible opponent. He would be as strong as Sasuke.¡±

    Zhao Yao could not contain his excitement at the thought of it as he began jumping up and down.

    For the past month, Zhao Yao had lent the power of invisibility to Baiquan on a daily basis. Even though the power alone brought along an element of surprise which came in rather handy in a battle, it was actually rather useless the moment it was exposed by the enemy.

    Hence, Zhao Yao only lent it to Baiquan for familiarization sake. He had no intentions to send him into the battlefield.

    However, it would be a totally different story if Baiquan had Sphynx Cat¡¯s bodybined with Roly Poly¡¯s power. Zhao Yao can¡¯t even begin to imagine how strong he could possibly be.

    ¡°Haha, not only Baiquan, I can also pull Zhao Xue into it as well. I will simply send the two of them when confronted by any enemies. Meanwhile, I can simply hide in a corner.¡±

    Zhao Yao could not help but mourn for his future enemies. They had to go against a pair who could destroy a series of concrete walls with a single punch and could walk around without a single person noticing them.

    Zhao Yao continued his marvelous daydream, ¡°Hmph, even if they got injured during the course of action, I can simply eject Lucifer from my belly to treat them using his powers. Actually, I can just let them enter my belly if they are willing to. Lucifer can then start his treatment in this perfectly safe environment.

    Or maybe they can simplybine the power of their physically enhanced body with super-regeneration. That¡¯s an awesomebo as well!¡±

    ¡°However, I¡¯ll have to keep track of Lucifer¡¯s loyalty the moment I recruit him under my BOOK. When his loyalty hits 100, he won¡¯t be able to lend his power out as well.¡±

    However, that was just a small matter in Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes. He had a few tricks up his sleeve which could instantly drop their loyalty points.

    ¡°Hmph, no matter which supercat I recruit, I can still get Sphynx Cat to lend his power to Zhao Xue and Baiquan. However, I must discuss with Sphynx Cat regarding the ideal candidate for my BOOK.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, I guess I¡¯ll just lend the power out to Baiquan first. I shall test his attitude towards it.¡±

    Zhao Yao instantly tranted his thoughts into action and left his house.

 Chapter 268: The Forbidden Fruit

    <h4>Chapter 268: The Forbidden Fruit</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Hanako, who was engrossed in her game, noticed Zhao Yao leaving his bedroom before sneakily calling for Baiquan.

    ¡°What the hell is he doing? Why is he acting so strange?¡±

    Hanako¡¯s brief shock was quickly disrupted by Rice Cake¡¯s deafening screams which reverberated into the living room.

    ¡°Hanako! What the hell are you doing? He is going to kill me! Aren¡¯t you supposed to cover me?¡±

    Even though Hanako had no idea what Rice Cake was screaming about, Rice Cake¡¯s sudden screams managed to capture her attention.

    ¡°Oh Rice Cake, are you dead?¡¯

    Rice Cake fumed with anger and began throwing her tantrum by rolling around on the floor.

    ¡°It¡¯s all because you were distracted!¡±

    ¡°Faster, get behind the box. That guy is hiding behind the box!¡±

    ¡°Faster! I¡¯ve alreadynded three shots on him, I¡¯m sure you can kill him with a single bullet or even a punch!¡±

    However, regardless how hard Rice Cake meowed at Hanako, all she heard were white noise which made no sense at all. Hanako was just slowly sneaking around on the map, she had no idea her enemy was just hiding meters away from her. Her stupidity sent Rice Cake trembling with anger.

    After a series of cries and screams, the air particles surrounding Rice Cake began vibrating slightly. Unbeknownst to the naked eye, invisible ripples had erupted from Rice Cake¡¯s body and swept across the living room.

    Just when Hanako finally notice the enemy, the enemy had alreadynded a headshot on her, instantly killing her. This moment was punctured by Rice Cake¡¯s most deafening scream.

    ¡°Hack! That guy definitely used a hack! Hanako,e with me and report this guy to the moderators!¡±

    Following Rice Cake¡¯s scream, the vibrating air molecules in the air somehow reached a resonance which amplified a gentle yet muffled voice into Hanako¡¯s ears.

    Hanako was taken aback by this mysterious sound. She cocked her head towards Rice Cake¡¯s direction and was positive she heard the word, hack,ing from Rice Cake¡¯s direction.

    ¡°You spoke? Rice Cake, you know how to talk?¡± Hanako was so excited that she immediately got to her feet and set her eyes on Rice Cake.

    Rice Cake simply raised her paw in the air before mming it against the table, ¡°Sit down, quickly sit down! We still have time for onest match!¡± However, she failed to vibrate the air molecules in the same manner as the previous time, hence no audible sound waves were projected into Hanako¡¯s ears.

    However, Hanako was still in shock by Rice Cake¡¯s apparent ability to talk. She pressed her forehead against her palm and immediately bolted towards Zhao Yao¡¯s bedroom. She screamed, ¡°Zhao Yao! Come here and take a look! Rice Cake just spoke!¡±

    When she was about to m open Zhao Yao¡¯s door, she was interrupted by a series of whispersing from his bedroom.

    ¡°Are you done yet? Quickly get in Baiquan.¡±

    ¡°But boss, this is really too small. Are you sure I can fit within it?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve repeated to you umpteen times that there is sufficient space. Many things have entered this ce.¡±

    Hanako¡¯s hand which rested on the doorknob fell from it as her forehead creased together. She felt a warm gush of energy spreading into her face, turning her skin crimson instantly. All kinds of images floated into her head. She wanted to leave but could not control her body as her ear pressed against the wooden door in order to eavesdrop on this immoral conversation.

    ¡°Stop being so wishy-washy, are you sure you are even a man? Quickly get in now.¡±

    ¡°Alright boss, I will go in now, but please spread the opening slightly wider.¡±

    ¡°This is already the maximum. Can you just get your ass inside and stopining? Hmph, Hanako, why do you keep standing outside my door?¡±

    Hanako had already turned crimson from head to toe and sweat beads drenched her body. She had never expected Zhao Yao to be so sensitive to the sounds around him even in such situations. She instinctively took a few steps backward, back into the living room before screaming, ¡°It¡¯s ... it¡¯s nothing! I heard nothing! Nothing at all! Just continue with what you are doing! Continue! Pretend I do not exist!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s ears gave a quick shudder as a ¡®what the f*ck¡¯ expression appeared on his face, ¡°I really have no idea what¡¯s going through woman¡¯s head.¡±

    At this moment, Hanako was both excited and agitated. She could barely sit on the couch without the excitement jolting her onto her feet. mes of curiosity shot through her body as she craved to know what was happening beyond that door.

    ¡°So this is it. So this exins everything here.¡±

    Originally, Hanako had already found the dynamics within this apartment extremely peculiar. She always had a hunch that something was wrong between the two of them. This was her moment of epiphany. She finally understood all these small actions between them and how they constantly looked out for one another.

    All sorts of movie titles rushed into her head, ranging from Brokeback Mountain to even Happy Together.

    ¡°Ah! This immoral love between them! This corrupt rtionship! Faced with societal discrimination! The family¡¯s failure to understand! The parent¡¯s abject disappointment ... This is just another taboo rtionship!¡± Hanako could clearly feel her racing heart thumping against her chest. Subconsciously, her eyes had gravitated towards Zhao Yao¡¯s room and she thought, ¡°Did Zhao Yao resort to drowning himself inputer games to numb himself from the pain?¡±

    Meanwhile, Rice Cake remained screaming at the top of her voice. All she wanted was for Hanako to return and continue their game. However, an ordinary human could not understand a single word she screamed, hence Hanako remained rooted to the couch with her imagination running wild and free.

    The intensity of Rice Cake¡¯s scream ballooned. The same invisible ripples erupted from her body and swept into the surrounding air molecules, producing an invisible sound wave.

    ¡°Hana! Hana!¡±

    Hanako was taken aback by these sudden shrieks and turned her head towards the source of the sound. Rice Cake was yelling, Hana, with all her might as her finger pointing at theputer.

    Hanako was left speechless by this out of the world happening and replied, ¡°Rice Cake, I¡¯m not hana, I¡¯m Hanako.¡±

    ¡°Hana!¡± Rice Cake remained indifferent to her words and vigorously mmed her paws against theputer.

    Hanako quickly wiped off the sweat umted over her forehead, ¡°From the looks of it, you still need some practice with your pronunciation.¡± Seeing that Rice Cake was about to burst into another outbreak, she immediately settled in front of theputer andforted her, ¡°Alright, alright, let¡¯s start the next game.¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, Baiquan had followed Zhao Yao into the extradimensional belly aka the Vige of Dreams.

    Their appearance was greeted by a wave of cats swarming at their feet. Some were tugging on Zhao Yao¡¯s shorts while others rubbed their bodies against his calf. Some even meowed affectionately at Zhao Yao. It seemed as if they were all very close to Zhao Yao.

    Baiquan was shocked beyond words by this amazing ce as he uttered, ¡°Is this ... is this the extradimensional belly?¡±

    ¡°Correct. All the cats within this ce are supercats. Hence, this has be their Vige of Dreams.¡± A beaming smile radiated from Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he looked towards Baiquan, ¡°This ce is only going to get bigger with more and better amenities. This will be a haven for countless cats.¡±

    Zhao Yao bent down and cradled Airne in his arms.

    Baiquan stared at this intimate gestures in awe and muttered excitedly, ¡°Boss, you really share such a close rtionship with the cats here.¡±

    Zhao Yao curled his lips and gave a half shrug of his shoulders, ¡± Yup, I guess you can say that.¡±

    At the same time, a wave of requests had flooded into Zhao Yao¡¯s head.

    Airne screamed, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! When are you going to bring in a bitch for me? It has been such a long time since myst release. I can¡¯t hold it in anymore.¡±

    Uncle Egg shouted, ¡°Young fe, do you have any more of the catmint lollipops? I¡¯ve finished thest batch which you gave me.¡±

    Ares demanded, ¡°Zhao Yao, the litter boxes are clogged up again! Faster unclog that piece of shit! Also, Gaia had refused to move for the past 24 hours. He even shat on himself. I think you need to give him a shower.¡±

    The smile on Zhao Yao¡¯s face somewhat faded as he told Baiquan, ¡°You just have to treat them with sincerity. Naturally, you will be able to earn their trust and friendship. Since you are already here, can you lend me a hand to clean the litter boxes?¡±

    While cleaning the litter boxes, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes gravitated towards Roly Poly who was lying on the ground, motionless. This piqued Zhao Yao¡¯s curiosity as he approached him and asked,¡±Roly Poly, where¡¯s Lion Head? Why is she gone?¡±

    ¡°Oh, you¡¯re asking about her? She¡¯s just beside me licking my fur.¡± Roly Polymented nonchntly, ¡°I had already coated her with my power of invisibility.¡±

    Zhao Yao was busy with all sorts of errands inside the belly. He had to clean up the ce and even help the catsplete their missions. Thankfully, he earned 120*2 experience points for his efforts.

    Zhao Yao and Baiquan copsed to the ground, exhausted from the day of hard work. Both of them looked as if they had just returned from a war. Baiquan stared at Zhao Yao in admiration and asked, ¡°Boss,I never expected you to be so busy down here?¡±

    Zhao Yao pped Baiquan on his shoulder and burst outughing, ¡°Of course, were you under the impression that being an apostle was an easy job? If you want to get stronger, you have to devote your time and attention to your cats.¡±

    Baiquan nodded his head and replied,¡±Hmph, from today onwards, I¡¯lle here every day and help take care of these cats.¡±

    Hahaha. Zhao Yao swung his arm over Baiquan¡¯s shoulder andmented, ¡°Not bad, not bad at all. I always had high expectations for you and you certainly did not disappoint. However, my main purpose for bringing you here is not for you to get acquainted with these cats. There is something more important.¡±

    Baiquan¡¯s forehead furrowed slightly as he muttered, ¡°A more important task?¡±

    Zhao Yao instantly exined, ¡°That¡¯s right. How¡¯s your training with the power of invisibility? Is it going well?¡±

    Baiquan nodded his head and decided to let his actions do the talking. Firstly, his entire body disappeared in an instance. Next, an organ appeared, followed by a bone and finally his muscle. All of them floated in the air and it looked exactly like a scene taken from a horror movie.

    ¡°For now, I can already control the power to an extent that I can dictate certain body parts to turn inviable. As for other people ...¡±

    Baiquan had once again turned invisible. However, Zhao Yao had simrly vanished this time around.

    ¡°I can let any objects or matter within three meters of me to turn invisible. Even they themselves would not be able to see their own body ...¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his body and realized that Baiquan was not exaggerating his ims. He really could not see his own body.

    ¡°Baiquan, that¡¯s really good! Your mastery over the power has already surpassed that of Roly Poly¡¯s.¡± Zhao Yao knew that this result was no fluke. This was Baiquan¡¯s fruits ofbor from his relentless training. This was unlike Roly Poly who only bothered burying his head in food and his phone.

    Even though the strength of the power could not be increased by simply training, but it could hone your proficiency over the power, fully harnessing the potential to it.

    With this thought lingering at the back of his head, Zhao Yao could not help but took a nce at Roly Poly. He remained lyingfortably in a corner of the belly, with an invisible force caressing the fur on his neck.

    ¡°Hmph, this might be a good thing actually. This will at least force him to use his power, in case it turned rusty¡±

    Baiquan noticed Zhao Yao nodding his head gleefully when their body reappeared. Zhao Yao exined, ¡°Since you have already perfected your mastery over this power, it is time for us to move on to the next stage.¡±

    ¡°Oh, training for the next stage?¡± Baiquan¡¯s eyes gleamed with excitement at the thought of acquiring a new power, ¡°What kind of powers awaits me? Am I gonna create my own weapon? Am I gonna be an all-new being altogether?¡¯

    Zhao Yao let out a few coughs which interrupted Baiquan¡¯s daydream, ¡°It is far better than anything you imagine. This will allow you to simultaneously wield two powers.¡±

    As he spoke, Zhao Yao had directed Baiquan¡¯s attention to the Sphynx Cat resting in the cage with his finger, ¡°Baiquan, this cat¡¯s power holds the key to your next stage of training. However, you must be careful. This cat is far fiercer than any cat you have ever met.¡±

    Then, Zhao Yao gave a brief introduction to the Sphynx Cat¡¯s abilities which left Baiquan staring at him with awe.

    At the same time, Zhao Yao had led Baiquan towards the cage. Instead of a fierce beast roaming around the cage, all they saw was a cat curled up into a ball in the middle of the cage. Zhao Yao shouted, ¡°Hey, I believe you have already heard what we were talking about just now.¡±

    The Sphynx Cat slowly lifted his eyelids to slid Zhao Yao and Baiquan a cold hard re before letting out a sigh. He remained silent throughout the process.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°I knew this cat was never going to cooperate with me willingly.¡± Zhao Yao grabbed onto the metal bars and shouted, ¡°You will be the only loser if you choose to keep your mouth shut. Can you imagine spending the rest of your miserable life trapped in this puny cage?¡±

    A lopsided smile appeared on his face as he bellowed inughter, ¡°My apostles will find me. When that happens, it will be your turn to beg for forgiveness.¡±

    Zhao Yao let out a sigh of despair and muttered, ¡°From the looks of it, this guy has not submitted to me despite the battle. He probably still holds me in low regard.¡±

    Baiquan took a step forward when he heard the cat¡¯s response and asked, ¡°Hey, can you understand my words?¡±

    The Sphynx Cat simply shot Baiquan a death re.

    Baiquan continued, ¡°You have already stayed here for so long. Are you gonna be so unreasonable as to not pay your rent?¡±

    The Sphynx Cat stretched open his mouth and let out a soundlessugh, ¡°Rent?¡± Immediately, he went on his four feet and slowly ambled in Baiquan¡¯s direction, before finally stopping right behind the steel bars, centimeters away from Baiquan¡¯s face.

    A vicious aura poured out of his body and swept towards Zhao Yao and Baiquan as the Sphynx Cat slowly walked up to them. It felt as if he were to pounce on them and shred them to pieces at any moment.

    However, Zhao Yao knew that this was impossible. With the effects of the enhanced gravitational force in y, crawling at this rate was already incredibly taxing. It was impossible for him to do any sorts of intense action, let alone rip apart the steal bars keeping him within the cage.

    ¡°I will sink my teeth past your skin and into your flesh the moment I leave this cage. I promise you.¡±

    Given his attitude, Zhao Yao knew that it was impossible for them toe to an agreement and work alongside each other, let alone raise his loyalty points.

    ¡°Evidently, recruiting Lucifer into my BOOK would be a far better decision.¡± Suddenly, a red glimmer shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes and he had already cast Elizabeth¡¯s control power on Sphynx Cat¡¯s body.

    The Sphynx Cat felt his body froze. Then, he started losing control of his body. His arms started reaching through the gaps of the steel bars on their own.

    A vein popped in his forehead as his temples throbbed with rage. He eximed in his head, ¡°It¡¯s this stupid ability again! This god d*mn control ability. Just wait for me toe out ... wait for me ...¡±

    ¡°Baiquan, go forward! I will let him lend his power to you.¡±

    Not once did fear crossed Baiquan¡¯s head. He nodded his head and took a step towards the cage. Under Zhao Yao¡¯s control, the cat had reached his paw towards Baiquan and slowly pressed against his chest.

    The next moment, Baiquan could clearly feel the warm gush of energy flowing from the cat¡¯s palm into his body. This intense energy swept across his entire body, into every nook and crannies.

    Momentster, Baiquan finally opened his eyes to see Zhao Yao staring directly at him, with his forehead puckered together. Zhao Yao shook his body and asked, ¡°What happened? Do you feel anything strange?¡±

    Baiquan shook his head and replied dejectedly, ¡°I don¡¯t know, but I don¡¯t think I am capable of initiating this power.¡±

    ¡°Just go out and train. From today onwards, you wille here every day to borrow the power. After that, you will go out and train. I¡¯m sure the results would be incredible in a month¡¯s time.¡±

    The Sphynx Cat¡¯s death re remained glued to Zhao Yao. He felt a mixture of raging fury and abject fear, ¡°He can even control me to lend my power out against my will? My people in Muscle Society need to find me quickly.¡±

    Sphynx Cat¡¯s eyes did not drift away from Zhao Yao as he saw him sending Baiquan off for training. Zhao Yao had once again cast an illusion as a ray of golden beam descended from the sky and into his hand.

    Since he had decided on recruiting Lucifer and upgrading his ability, he was definitely using this opportunity to assert his dominance amongst the supercat.

    All the supercats stared at this mystifying golden beam resting on Zhao Yao¡¯s hand. They were both shocked and curious about its ability.

    A solemn expression crept up Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he stared at the golden beam in his hands before shouting, ¡°This is the Essence of God, kindly given to us by King George. This can upgrade the ability of a single supercat. Now, on behalf of King George, I will pass this magnificent light to you ... Lucifer.¡±

    With a gentle flick of his wrist, the beam had shot out of his hands and stopped right in front of Lucifer¡¯s awestruck face.

    ¡°Lucifer, eat it.¡±

    ¡°Me?¡± Lucifer was overwhelmed with joy as his heart thumped rapidly, ¡°Is this for me?¡± He had previously witnessed how Ares¡¯s power strengthened by a few folds after ingesting this glorious gift from King George.

    The remaining supercats including Rakshasa, Fujin, and the family of Ragdolls could only stare at Lucifer, green with envy. Lion Head, Airne and Uncle Egg had never witnessed this scene and were filled with suspicion and doubts.

    In reality, Lucifer was licking the wound on Zhao Yao¡¯s finger as he slowly swallowed Zhao Yao¡¯s blood.

    The Sphynx Cat who remained under control could not seal his ears from the sound waves and stared suspiciously at Lucifer swallowing this dubious object.

 Chapter 270: Growing the Skill Tree

    <h4>Chapter 270: Growing the Skill Tree</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    The moment Lucifer cemented the pact, the Book was promoted to level 5. It also meant that Zhao Yao¡¯s quest to gain the allegiance of five supercats was done and dusted. He was rewarded with a neat 2,000 experience points.

    A new mission instantly took its ce.

    Main Mission: Gain More Cat Powers, Get More Supercats

    Objective: Pledge the loyalty of six cats and upgrade the Book to level 6

    Reward: 2,000 experience points

    Punishment: None

    Changes had also been made to everyone¡¯s experience levels:

    Book: Level 5 (2,268 / 10,000)

    Matcha: Level 5 (70 / 5,000)

    Elizabeth: Level 5 (70 / 5,000)

    Dust Ball: Level 5 (290 / 5,000)

    Ares: Level 4 (140 / 2,000)

    Lucifer: Level 1 (0 / 10)

    It did not take many points for Lucifer to be leveled up, so Zhao Yao spent 1,100 points in one shot to upgrade him to level 4 (0 / 2,000). This left the Book to be at level 5 (1,158 / 10,000).

    The different levels of his power helped Zhao Yao better understand Lucifer¡¯s regenerative ability. In its most primitive form, the body¡¯s health had to be above 25% for super-regeneration to work.

    ¡°Well, every skill is bound to have its limit,¡± Zhao Yao mused before studying the next branch of Lucifer¡¯s skill tree.

    He picked a level 2 skill that reduced the 25% requirement to a mere 15%. For level 3, he chose to learn Pleasure of Pain, which did exactly as its somewhat gross name promised. The more pain he was dealt with, the more pleasure he would feel. The worse the damage, the faster he would heal.

    He would never have to fear physical blows again.

    Zhao Yao watched in anticipation as Lucifer¡¯s skill tree branches out into level 4. Based on past experience, the new abilities introduced in this level were always ultimate skills. He was eager to see what Lucifer had to offer.

    The two choices did not disappoint.

    The first skill was called Death Holdup. It could hasten the speed of regeneration by ten times when the body¡¯s condition dropped below 15%. The rapid healing couldst three minutes and the cooldown took 24 hours.

    The other option was Death Feign. Like the Holdup, it could only be activated when health levels dipped below 15%. When that happened, Zhao Yao¡¯s physical body would slip into a state of death. He would, however, remain very much alive and conscious. He could revive himself within the next 24 hours, after which the skill could only be used again another 24 hourster.

    Both abilities gifted him a second life. However, one was clearly far superior to the other.

    Zhao Yao picked Death Holdup without hesitation.

    Death Feign was great, but it had the potential to backfire. The more cautious opponent might find it suspicious that someone so powerful was actually dead. This could invite another onught of attacks to make sure that Zhao Yao was well and truly dead.

    That would really kill him.

    Death Holdup was different. Instead of faking death, he could avoid it altogether through unparalleled healing. Lucifer¡¯s regeneration was already gloriously remarkable. Now that it was 10 times faster, even a gunshot to the chest would not be able to take him down. Coupled with Pleasure of Pain, Zhao Yao would never again be defeated by physical blows of any sort.

    He could wee them with open arms.

    ¡°This is not bad at all,¡± Zhao Yao chuckled to himself, ¡°Now that I have Death Holdup and Time Distortion, I don¡¯t just have a second life. I have a third one.¡±

    He would never know every power that existed in the world. This was why it was more crucial to be able to protect himself than to be able to chalk up ungodly amounts of damage on the enemy.

    Zhao Yao turned to Lucifer.

    ¡°So, what do you think? Do you feel yourself growing stronger?¡± he asked.

    The cat looked down at his paws before shaking his head. ¡°Nope. Nothing¡¯s happening.¡±

    ¡°Well, your skill is regeneration. I believe you might need to experience a bit of pain and injury in order to feel the change...¡±

    Bang!

    Raksasha the American Shorthair had snuck up behind Lucifer and struck him with his ws, which were tough as steel.

    Lucifer fell to the ground from the blow, but there was no wail of pain. Instead, he let out an ecstatic meow as a spasm ran through his body. His face was tinged pink.

    Raksasha looked at him curiously.

    ¡°So, do you feel stronger?¡±

    ¡°I...I don¡¯t know,¡± Lucifer responded truthfully, getting onto his paws quickly.

    He could feel himself getting flushed from embarrassment.

    ¡°It kinda felt like...like it didn¡¯t really hurt,¡± he finished awkwardly.

    Zhao Yao knew that Lucifer just had his first taste of Pleasure of Pain.

    ¡°Lucifer, this is one of your new skills,¡± he exined sagely, ¡°From now, you¡¯ll never feel pain from an injury ever again. In fact, the more trauma you experience, the more pleasurable it will feel.¡±

    ¡°Is that true, Lucifer?¡± Ares asked.

    Lucifer tilted his head.

    ¡°Well, I guess we¡¯ll have to test it out. Can one of you help me?¡±

    Bang!

    He had barelypleted his sentence when Raksasha walloped him again, sharp ws gleaming in the light.

    Lucifer took a few dainty steps backward, an indulgent smile on his face.

    ¡°How is it?¡± Raksasha inquired.

    ¡°Mmm,¡± Lucifer grinned.

    He had been reduced to a babbling fool high on the pleasure of pain.

    Caesar was watching this from a distance. He could not help but touch the back of his own head at the sight of Lucifer being beaten up.

    ¡°Why does my skull hurt from seeing this?¡± he wondered aloud.

    His wife, Catherine, threw him a dirty look.

    ¡°Are you having another one of your phantom headaches, Caesar?¡± she asked sharply, ¡°You¡¯ve been using the pain as an excuse to smoke more and more catmint. It¡¯s unsightly! Have you forgotten how you should act as a noble?¡±

    On the other side of the room, Lucifer was asking for more punches to be thrown his way.

    ¡°C¡¯mon, try again! Harder this time,¡± he instructed.

    Raksasha nodded seriously. He raised both paws, which revealed lethal looking ws cloaked in titanium. With a yell, he darted forward and attacked Lucifer, shing and ripping with all the strength he could muster.

    His victim seemed to enjoy every moment of it.

    In fact, he had started moaning in pleasure.

    ¡°Oh yeah!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t stop, Raksasha!¡±

    ¡°Ravage me with your strong ws!¡±

    A disturbed Raksasha looked to Ares for help.

    ¡°Boss, Lucifer¡¯s acting weird, isn¡¯t he?¡±

    Ares did not respond with words. Instead, he extended a paw and unleashed a force field in Lucifer¡¯s direction. This sent him flying through the air and right into a wall, which he was stuck on momentarily before sliding to the floor.

    ¡°Ah...¡± Lucifer sighed, a look of bliss on his face, ¡°You guys should just beat me to death.¡±

    Ares studied the cat, his head tilted to one side.

    ¡°I suppose he¡¯s grown stronger then?¡± he said with uncertainty.

    The corner of Zhao Yao¡¯s lips twitched. He had watched the entire scene unfold.

    ¡°I wonder if I chose the wrong power,¡± he thought to himself.

    He was not the only one who was watching Lucifer with interest. The Sphynx cat was observing from the confines of his cage as well. He looked terribly troubled by what he saw.

    ¡°Can King George really strengthen a supercat¡¯s natural powers?¡± he wondered.

    The rest of the cats rushed forward in a heap.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao!¡± Airne called out, ¡°I want to grow stronger too!¡±

    ¡°Get out of my way!¡± Sausage yelled as he pushed past his friend, ¡°Where¡¯s King George? He¡¯s the one who can make me stronger.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head at the frenzied disy.

    ¡°King George will only strengthen the cutest and most well-behaved cats. You¡¯ll have to work hard to be picked,¡± he exined.

    This announcement caused the supercats to grow quiet. They were all deep in thought, wondering how they could stand out as the most well-behaved.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s attention had turned to the diamond hall in the Book.

    Normally, he could earn a diamond frompleting daily missions. These diamonds could be exchanged for double experience and power-up cards in the hall.

    Now that he haspleted his main quest of pledging five supercats, there seemed to be an addition to the diamond hall.

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    A new item had appeared in the diamond hall.

    It was an adorable mini-dress with a cat princess print. It cost five diamonds to use. Putting it on would gift the wearer the ability to use two skills at once for ten whole minutes.

    Zhao Yao stared at the dress wordlessly. He closed the Book and let out a dismissive snort.

    ¡°Cross-dressing? That¡¯s never gonna happen. I¡¯d rather die,¡± he thought to himself.

    The power the dress afforded was tempting, but he vowed never to use it as he left the extradimensional belly and entered the real world.

    He stepped foot into his bedroom, where Baiquan was busy training. He was doing push-up after push-up enthusiastically, his face flushed red from the exertion. Beads of sweat were forming above his brows.

    ¡°C¡¯mon, Baiquan. I know you¡¯re dedicated to this, there¡¯s no need to exercise in my bedroom. Jeez,¡± Zhao Yaomented, ¡°Continue in the living room, won¡¯t you? I need a nap,¡±

    ¡°Yes, Boss. Off I go then,¡± Baiquanplied.

    Hanako looked up from the couch when she heard the bedroom door open. She gulped as Baiquan walked out gingerly, panting and flushed.

    ¡°Oh my, that looks intense,¡± she thought, blushing beet red.

    Baiquan noticed her weird expression but did not bother trying to make sense of it. He walked straight into his own room to continue training.

    Growing stronger was all he could think about these days. The exercises he did, such as push-ups and sit-ups, were simple, but the result was immense. He was bing noticeably fitter.

    Baiquan was as much the paragon of physical excellence as Matcha was not. The ginger cat was perched on the massage chair again. He put his phone down, extended his paws, then stretched luxuriously.

    He let out a huge yawn.

    ¡°My, my, my. The view at the top is beautiful, but it sure is lonely,¡± he sighed dramatically, his eyes on the screen of his phone.

    The statistics of his Mobile Legends match was disyed. He had killed a staggering five opponents, a triumph by his standards.

    Humming, he started another 5v5 match against a team of AI opponents.

    ¡°Humans are far too scheming. I can unt my true intellect and skills when I y againstputers,¡± he concluded.

    His train of thought was interrupted when his body suddenly froze and tensed. He had, quite unfortunately, grown familiar with this ufortable sensation. He knew that it meant he had lost all control of his limbs to a certain ragdoll.

    Matcha narrowed his eyes as he involuntarily sprinted towards Elizabeth, phone dangling from the corner of his mouth.

    ¡°What do you want, Yeti? Why did you infringe my privacy with your stupid mind-control? he demanded angrily, ¡°I was busy learning!¡±

    Elizabeth did not seem too interested in what Matcha had to say. She was upied with adjusting her Louis Vuitton purse. She held it in front of her at first, then waved it from her paw, before leaving it on her back.

    ¡°Hmm...What¡¯s the prettiest way for me to pose with my purse, do you think?¡± she asked.

    Matcha tilted his head to the side, confused. The poses looked the same to him.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know why I bothered asking. Come, help me take some photos. Take as many as you can and I¡¯ll choose a good er.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s whiskers shook with fury.

    ¡°You,¡± he started, ¡°Made mee here just to be your photographer?! Do you know how busy I am?!¡±

    Elizabeth rolled her eyes at him.

    ¡°Busy? You were just ying your game, no? You can always yter.¡±

    ¡°You women know nothing! That¡¯s not just a game. It¡¯s more than that! In fact, it¡¯s my religion.¡±

    ¡°Nonsense,¡± she dismissed him casually, ¡°Be nice and take some good photos for me. I¡¯ll send you $10 as a reward after.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s demeanor changed instantly.

    ¡°Well, Lizzie, I have to say you have found the perfect cat for the job. Who but I, Matcha Leibovitz, can take the most moving photos? I can turn a dog into a wolf through the lens,¡± he said confidently.

    With that, he raised his phone and aimed it in her direction.

    ¡°Tell me what you want, beautiful. Do you want to look cute? Or would a modern look be more you? Or sexy, perhaps? Retro? One set of photos would cost you just $10. I¡¯ll give you two sets for the price of one. I¡¯ll even photoshop them until they¡¯re nothing short of perfection.¡±

    ¡°Stop talking.¡±

    Elizabeth took a few more shots of her new purse, then turned to Matcha.

    ¡°So here¡¯s what you got to do. I must look good in the photo, but so does my purse. Anyone who takes one look at the picture must spot the purse, but it shouldn¡¯t feel like we¡¯re deliberately showing it off. The spotlight should still be on me. Comprendre?¡±

    ¡°Low-key m, got it,¡± Matcha nodded, looking intently at Elizabeth through his camera lens.

    He held his phone in one paw and used the other to direct her position.

    ¡°Look here, Lizzie! I want you to embody subtle beauty in our first shot,¡± he instructed.

    Elizabeth rolled her eyes in a way that was not subtly beautiful.

    ¡°What does that even mean, you idiot?¡± she asked, exasperated.

    ¡°I¡¯m not an idiot! I¡¯m Matcha Leibovitz!¡±

    ¡°Whatever, just tell me what to do. Be precise about it!¡±

    ¡°Fine,¡± Matcha raised a paw into the air, ¡°Look here. Yes, right here. Raise your chin a bit. Your smile can be sweeter. Okay, you¡¯re overdoing it now. Yup, that¡¯s the sweet spot! Show off your tail. Beautiful!¡±

    Rapid clicks could be heard from the camera shutter.

    Matcha leaped to away to capture Elizabeth from another angle.

    He raised his phone to her, ¡°Turn your upper body toward me and look right into the camera.¡±

    ¡°That makes my back ache.¡±

    ¡°Hang in there, we¡¯re almost done. I just need you to up the mncholy factor. You need to look sad and deep in thought, as if I¡¯ve abandoned you when you¡¯re pregnant with my kitten -,¡±

    His words were cut short when he threw an involuntary punch in his own face.

    ¡°She¡¯spletely unprofessional. I¡¯m just helping her get in the zone,¡± Matcha frowned, rubbing his cheek.

    ¡°Fine, then think about how disappointed you¡¯ll be if Baiquan had prepared all your favorite food, but the other cats finished them without you. That¡¯s it. Hold it there. You¡¯re doing terrific, sweetie.¡±

    Click click.

    Dust Ball took a look at the duo as she slunk towards them. She let out a yawn and flopped belly-first onto the windowsill.

    ¡°Whatcha doing?¡± she asked.

    ¡°Portrait photography, duh,¡± Matcha responded impatiently, ¡°Since you¡¯re here, you might as well help us with lighting.¡±

    ¡°And why would I do that?¡±

    ¡°Well, if you don¡¯t, I¡¯ll destroy all that catmint you¡¯ve stashed away in the septic tank.¡±

    Dust Ball gritted her teeth.

    ¡°Stupid fatty,¡± she thought angrily, ¡°Looks like I must find a better hiding spot.¡±

    With that, she was enlisted as Matcha¡¯s unwilling assistant.

    ¡°Can we move the spotlight further away? It¡¯s blinding Elizabeth.¡±

    ¡°Her hair is all matted. Lizzie, don¡¯t move. Dust Ball, lick her fur clean, please.¡±

    ¡°Where¡¯re the props? Dust Ball, grab the carpet. Seriously, you don¡¯t have a photographer¡¯s eye at all. Keep this up and you¡¯ll stay a lowly assistant forever.¡±

    ¡°Elizabeth, give me your sexiest look. Yes, that¡¯s right, lift that butt and that raise that tail. Show all of you to me -,¡±

    That earned Matcha more punches in rapid session. He looked at his model begrudgingly through eyes that were swollen shut.

    ¡°I don¡¯t mean any offense, Elizabeth. I¡¯m a professional,¡± he stated.

    After a tedious hour, the photoshoot could finally wrap up. Matcha was browsing through the photos with a content smile on his face,

    ¡°I think I did a pretty good job. Come see!¡±

    Elizabeth hurried to him eagerly. Matcha was an idiot, but he did seem to know his way around a camera. She was excited to see what he had captured.

    Her anticipation soon fizzled into disappointed as she flipped through the hundreds of shots.

    ¡°Why do I look so...chunky?¡± she remarked, brows furrowed.

    ¡°And what¡¯s with this lighting? My face is as wide as a 50-inch TV.¡±

    ¡°And this?! Why did you take a photo of me grooming myself when I was having a break?!¡±

    Elizabeth shot Matcha a death re.

    ¡°Matcha Leibovitz? More like Matcha Piece-of-s**t,¡± she said coldly.

    Matcha found himself retreating ever so slightly.

    ¡°This is what abstract photography is like,¡± he murmured.

    ¡°Seriously, what use are you? You suck at your stupid games and you suck at taking photos,¡± she huffed, flipping through the photos quickly.

    Only three photos were passable and she sent them all to herself.

    A satisfied smile yed on Elizabeth¡¯s lips after she uploaded the three photos.

    ¡°Remember to like the photos,¡± she cast her eyes on Matcha and Dust Ball.

    *

    In the following days, Zhao Yao spent one half of his time managing the cafe and the other in the extradimensional belly. He also made sure that the Sphynx continued to lend his skill to Baiquan.

    He did the same for his sister. Bybing his own skills with that of Dust Ball and Elizabeth, he couldpel the Sphynx to share his skill with Zhao Xue too. Like Baiquan, she put in the effort to train and be more powerful.

    The bond between Zhao Yao and the supercats had grown stronger with time.

    The belly had be an excellent environment for them, what with a fancy room dedicated to smoking catmint and another lined withputers equipped with all kinds of games and movies. A variety of canned and dried food was avable in the pantry. Comfortable pet beds and kitty towers were scattered in every corner.

    It may be Dust Ball¡¯s belly, but it was paradise.

    With so many supercats living their days out indulgently here, Zhao Yao did not have to work as hard to earn experience points. He received a couple hundred just based on fulfilling daily missions.

    At the end of a week, he had umted 10 diamonds. The Book has also transformed to Level 5 (2,128 / 10,000).

    *

    In the real world, a clowder of cats was gathered in arge circle. Matcha, Elizabeth, Mango, and Dust Ball were in the crowd too.

    Two human figures were in the middle of the circle. They were darting toward and away from each other swiftly. Loud sts could be heard whenever they exchanged blows.

    After a particrly thunderous sh, the two stood a few meters apart from each other.

    Zhao Yao shook his fist.

    ¡°Jesus. You¡¯re almost as strong as me now. Your training is really paying off,¡± hemented.

    ¡°I guess,¡± Baiquan smiled sheepishly, ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to the Sphynx¡¯s power. It¡¯s too, well, powerful. I just train a little each day, but the results are amplified. I feel stronger.¡±

    In a short week, Baiquan¡¯s had visibly bulked up. The curve of muscles could be seen on his arms. Even his shoulders looked broader than before.

    The look he was giving Zhao Yao, however, was far from his masculine physique. There was an unsettling gentleness in his eyes that made the hairs on the back of Zhao Yao¡¯s neck stand.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with this guy? He¡¯s acting a bit off recently,¡± Zhao Yao thought to himself.

    He pretended not to notice the weird gaze and continued speaking.

    ¡°Your strength and speed are not worse than mine. What you need to do is train your reflexes and agility. Do that and you¡¯ll be on par with Superman soon.¡±

    ¡°Okay,¡± Baiquan nodded his head meekly, ¡°I¡¯ve been eating more now that I¡¯m getting stronger though.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s to be expected. Don¡¯t worry, eat whatever you want. It¡¯s worth it. With your physical strength and invisibility, the Muscle Society won¡¯t stand a chance.

    The Sphynx cat studied the two men from the corner of his eyes. He smirked when his gazended on Baiquan.

    After Zhao Yao sent Baiquan away, he turned to his captivated cat audience.

    ¡°Alright, time to test out our supercat armor!¡± he announced.

    The supercat armor was Zhao Yao¡¯s idea. It was a battle tactic he devised to defeat the Muscle

    Society.

    He had learnt a lot about the cats and their abilities during the time he spent in the belly. He had found a way to maximize theirbined powers for optimal impact.

    ¡°Activate regeneration!¡±

    There was a sh in his eyes when he switched to Lucifer¡¯s power of rapid healing.

    The Sphynx cat raised his head to peer in Zhao Yao¡¯s direction.

    ¡°What¡¯s that imbecile up to this time?¡±

    Zhao Yao raised his right arm.

    ¡°Assault Arm!¡± he yelled.

    Fujin let out a loud meow, then leaped onto his right hand.

    ¡°Assault Arm, fire!¡±

    A loud boom sounded as Fujin¡¯s hair lifted from his body and stood on its ends. He had unleashed a torpedo of wind that rocketed towards a tower of cardboard boxes, which exploded into smithereens.

    Zhao Yao then raised his left arm.

    ¡°Electric Arm, let¡¯s go!¡±

    That was Uncle Egg¡¯s cue. He meowed before racing forward, then held onto Zhao Yao¡¯s hand like Fujin did.

    In that moment, Zhao Yao¡¯s left fist was encircled by a ball of cackling electricity.

    ¡°Defence Shield, go!¡±

    Ares rolled his eyes. He was as indifferent as his friends were excited. He sashayed towards him, then climbed up his leg andnded on his chest.

    Ares activated his defensive shield, which covered Zhao Yao, as well as the three cats that were on him.

    The shield repelled external forces and kept everything within together. It made sure that the cats could be safely bnced on Zhao Yao.

    He raised his index and middle finger, which were pressed against each other.

    ¡°Funnel swords, let¡¯sunch!¡± he eximed, pointing his fingers into the air.

    ¡°Weirdo,¡± Ares pursed his lips.

    Regardless, he manipted his force fields to form seven invisible swords that surrounded them.

    Zhao Yao looked at the rock that he had lugged here beforehand.

    ¡°Fire!¡± he shouted.

    In the next moment, the swords darted towards the ill-fated rock, smashing it into tiny pieces in no time at all.

    ¡°And now, let¡¯s go into Stealth Mode.¡±

    Roly Poly climbed into Zhao Yao¡¯s back, into the protection of Ares¡¯ field. He then activated his power to make everyone invisible.

    A few secondster, an explosion could be heard from another stack of cardboard boxes. It was as if an invisible giant was on a destructive rampage.

    ¡°Reveal Human Form!¡±

    In an instant, Zhao Yao¡¯s physical form was revealed, but the supercats remained undetectable.

    ¡°Let¡¯s cast an illusion!¡±

    Elizabeth leaped gracefully onto Zhao Yao¡¯s right shoulder. She transformed his appearance from normal human geek to a futuristic warrior dressed in shining armor.

    ¡°Now, Diversion Protection!¡±

    Dust Ball was already perched on his left shoulder, jaw wide open.

    ¡°Okay, this is just a dress rehearsal. No need for the real thing,¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°When weunch this, you¡¯ll swallow our opponents into the extradimensional belly.¡±

    While Zhao Yao looked epic, he was actually covered in supercats. There was a slight dip in his right shoulder, which was where Elizabeth stood.

    ¡°Lizzie¡¯s getting heavy. I might have to watch her food intake more closely,¡± he mused.

    ¡°Okay, time for the finale. The closing act. Our final test. Cannon from Hell!¡±

    No cat approached or climbed onto Zhao Yao at this point. Instead, he moved forward and lifted Mango, whom looked up at him with an innocently sweet expression.

    Zhao Yao put the confused cat into the Sphynx¡¯s cage.

    The Sphynx was equally confused. He stared at Mango, who stared back dumbly.

    ¡°What the hell?¡±

    ¡°Hell is right. Cannon from Hell, fire!¡± Zhao Yao ordered.

    With that, Elizabeth activated her power of perfect illusion. Poor Mango could now feel an overwhelming pain in his tummy that made his paws curl.

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    The atmosphere in the reinforced steel cage had changed.

    The Sphynx cat was overwhelmed with the explosive need to poop. Elizabeth had barely switched on her power for ten seconds when he copsed onto the ground, face pale as a sheet of paper.

    He felt like his stomach was about to literally explode.

    He had experienced a spectrum of emotions in the 10 seconds. It began with surprise, which morphed into rage, humiliation, pain, sadness, then finally, absolute despair.

    When Elizabeth lifted her spell of Mango, the Sphynx cat felt both physically and emotionally drained.

    Fortunately for him, Mango¡¯s unique ability was starting to torment the other cats. If not, Elizabeth would not have stopped so soon.

    ¡°What...what was that?¡± he looked up at Zhao Yao, then Mango.

    Zhao Yao ignored him. He reached into the cage and grabbed Mango, a satisfied smirk on his face.

    ¡°Good. Very good. The supercat armor test has passed with flying colors. Take a break, everyone! We shall have beef for lunch,¡± he announced.

    His words caused Fujin, Uncle Egg, Ares, Roly Poly, Elizabeth, and Dust Ball¡¯s eyes to light up. A perplexed expression remained on Mango¡¯s face. The silly cat had no clue what was going on.

    The supercat armor was aplicated system that relied on telepathy formunication and Ares¡¯ defensive shields to protect and hold everyone together. It allowed Zhao Yao to unleash seven powers as he wished, ranging from assault waves, electric bolts, force fields, invisibility, illusions, the extradimensional belly, to Mango¡¯s explosive diarrhea.

    The skillsplemented each other perfectly.

    Fujin¡¯s assault waves were perfect for attacking opponents that were a distance away, while Ares¡¯ fields tackled targets that were meters away. Uncle Egg¡¯s electric bolts could tase people that got a bit too close.

    Roly Poly¡¯s invisibility, coupled with Elizabeth¡¯s illusion, made them great support yers in the team. Escaping to Dust Ball¡¯s belly was the ultimate defence when s**t hits the fan.

    As for Mango, well, his area of effect was unparalleled.

    Together, they made up an integrated defensive and offensive system.

    It was powerful, but Zhao Yao knew that it was not without limitations. For one, the time it took for the armor (i.e. cats) toe together was substantial. Also, it slowed down his response time.

    The supercats were not his limbs. He could not just control them instinctively. He needed time to give them instructions telepathically and thatpromised the immediacy of his reactions.

    The Sphynx cat had belittled them at first. Now, the smug smirk was wiped off his face. Instead, a deep groove had appeared between his furrow brows.

    The excruciating pain he felt thanks to the Cannon from Hell was etched in his brain. Just thinking about it caused the surface of his skin to tingle uneasily.

    ¡°That shapeless force is both the glue that sticks the team together and the repent to any external attack. That illusion would scare the living daylights out of anyone who sees them.¡±

    ¡°And that final move...I don¡¯t even know what to say.¡±

    The Sphynx cat tried reasoning with and convincing himself to believe otherwise, but he knew what this meant.

    ¡°Even the Muscle Society might not beat this guy,¡± he concluded unhappily.

    Roly Poly was in a pensive mood as well. He chewed his steak thoughtfully, sneaking nces at Matcha, whom was rolling on the ground aimlessly.

    Roly Poly could not help but grin devilishly.

    ¡°Heh heh. Now that I¡¯m an important part of the supercat armor, my position in Zhao Yao¡¯s heart must have risen. Matcha, on the other hand, has beenpletely excluded,¡± he thought.

    He studied the rest of the supercats that formed the armor system.

    ¡°These cats will eventually be the backbone of our Cat Nation. I should be the one to bring them together and lead them. We can be called the Poly Gang! Even if the old man passes Matcha his legacy, the Poly Gang would be able to kick him off the throne.¡±

    This prompted him to raise a paw high into the air.

    ¡°Shall we y a game together after lunch? he asked, looking from one cat to another with a warm smile.

    Roly Poly felt that if he organized more team-bonding activities, the group would grow closer and eventually see him as their leader.

    His enthusiasm, unfortunately, was not returned.

    Elizabeth acted as if he never spoke. She turned on her heel and went to find Zhao Yao.

    Dust Ball muttered about wanting to rx, then headed to the smoking room with Uncle Egg for a bit of catmint.

    ¡°Let¡¯s y on our own,¡± Ares said to Fujin.

    They left, leaving Roly Poly all by his lonesome.

    He huffed angrily as he tore another piece of steak.

    ¡°Go on then! One day, I¡¯ll be at the top and it¡¯ll be toote for you to grovel then,¡± he thought.

    He was busy wallowing in self-pity when somethingrge and fluffy pounced on him.

    Lion Head kneaded the back of his head lovingly.

    ¡°Honey, you were so cool just now!¡± she eximed.

    Roly Poly stifled a dry sob.

    ¡°When I¡¯m at the top, the first thing I¡¯ll do is get rid of her!¡±

    On the other side of the room, the trio of ragdoll cats walked towards Elizabeth.

    ¡°Elizabeth,¡± Catherine called out to her estranged daughter, ¡°Have you always been working for King George?¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ll talkter,¡± Elizabeth replied curtly.

    It was obvious that she was upied. She marched to Zhao Yao, her phone dangling from the corner of her mouth.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, look at what other cats are posting!¡± she demanded.

    She presented to him a series of photos she had painstakingly downloaded from WeChat.

    Her Louis Vuitton purse photo set had been pretty popr online. The barrage of likes and enviousments she received kept her in a consistently good mood for the past couple of days.

    Recently, however, her pal, Sweetheart, had begun to outshine her.

    Zhao Yao grabbed her phone and scrolled through dozens of selfies of a beautiful Scottish Fold. She had a coat of long, snow white hair andrge, ocean blue eyes.

    The background in each of her photos was even more beautiful than she was. In every shot, she was posing in a luxurious setting, from a yacht, to the beach, by the river, and in an opulent bedroom.

    ¡°Why are you showing me this?¡± Zhao Yao asked.

    ¡°What do you mean why?!¡± Elizabeth seethed, ¡°Look at her. She¡¯s not even half as pretty as me, but she gets to live in a house with an ocean view!¡±

    ¡°But you have an owner who¡¯s handsome as sin.¡±

    Elizabeth mmed her phone on the ground.

    ¡°Good looks can¡¯t buy me an ocean view!¡± she yelled.

    She looked up at him with a steely glint in her eye.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, let¡¯s move to the Tomson Riviera in Shanghai. Think about all the dreams, pressures, joy, and tears housed within the penthouses there. It¡¯s perfect. And, most importantly, that¡¯s where Gu Yuan lived in Tiny Times!¡±

    The outburst rendered Zhao Yao speechless. When he recovered, he asked, ¡°Do you know how much an apartment in Tomson Riveria costs?¡±

    Elizabeth tilted her head to the side innocently, ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°Billions,¡± Zhao Yao replied, elongating the ¡®s¡¯ sound, ¡°I wouldn¡¯t be able to afford it even if I sold your entire family. We live in reality, not some silly movie. Please manage your expectations ordingly.¡±

    The ragdoll pursed her lips with distaste.

    ¡°Zhao Yao...¡±

    ¡°Yeah?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re so poor.¡±

    With that, she turned around and walked away from her bbergasted owner.

    ¡°Zhao Yao is a useless thug who just bums around all day. It¡¯s up to me to make enough money to buy arge house, fancy sports cars, fancier bags, and live the good life,¡± she thought.

    Catherine, Diana, and Caesar moved next to her again.

    ¡°Elizabeth, what did you discuss with Zhao Yao?¡±

    ¡°Money. More precisely, how to earn more of it. I¡¯m sure this is a foreign subject to you,¡± she responded dismissively.

    ¡°Who said we don¡¯t know about it!¡± Diana retorted, ¡°Money is everything. With it, you do whatever your heart desires. I also know that being a movie star is the best way to earn lots of money. You can earn hundreds of thousands just from filming one movie.¡±

    She had learnt this from the mass of movies that she had been watching in the extradimensional belly.

    ¡°Diana,nguage. You sound like a pleb, love. Be elegant,¡± Catherine reminded.

    ¡°Yes, Mother,¡± she responded.

    Diana turned back to Elizabeth.

    ¡°It is a most fortunate thing to be affluent. Bing a movie star is a delightful way to grow your wealth while heightening your status in the world,¡± she rephrased.

    ¡°Movie star?¡± Elizabeth repeated, her eyes shining from what looked like a ray of hope.

    <h4>Chapter 274: Muscle Congregation and Power Plugs</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    The same night, a congregation took ce in the remains of an abandoned factory.

    A massive man packed with bulging muscles was there. He was wearing a tight pink singlet, his shoulder-length hair pulled into a tiny it.

    The most jaw-dropping about him was not his unusual sartorial choices, but the truck that he was lifting over his head. Arms raised, he did a squat, then got back up again.

    Each ragged breath that left his lips was a great rush of air. The cement beneath his feet was beginning to sink from the weight.

    The man kept going until he reached a hundred squats. He let out a roar and threw the truck through the air. Itnded dozens of meters away, where it flipped multiple times beforeing to a stop.

    ¡°Goddamnit! It¡¯s useless!¡± the man cried, punching the wall next to him with onerge fist.

    He created a gaping hole in the ster.

    The muscle man was the Sphynx¡¯s first apostle. In the Muscle Society, he was second in rank only to the cat. His strength was insane, along with his obsession with training and bulking up.

    He was known as the Butcher.

    Even though he started training at almost the same time as the Sphynx, he had since grown far stronger. After all, the human body naturally had more potential for development than a supercat¡¯s.

    The Butcher persisted as the strongest member of the Muscle Society since its inception.

    Themotion he caused drew the attention of three more muscr men. They emerged from the shadows quietly and closed in on the Butcher.

    ¡°Our Sphynx has been missing for a week! I¡¯ve not grown any stronger for one whole week! When can you find him?¡± Butcher demanded, nostrils ring with rage.

    A man dressed in a short, ck bathrobe stepped forward.

    ¡°Boss, we¡¯ve looked through the surveince footage from the battle. The assant wasn¡¯t captured on tape, probably because he can turn invisible. That might have been how he escaped.¡±

    This was the man in ck who sneaked up on Zhao Yao during that fateful encounter.

    The Butcher¡¯s eyes softened as he turned to the man.

    ¡°ck Robe,¡± he addressed him, ¡°What about the six rascals? Have you managed to reach them?¡±

    He was referring to Fit Bro and his cronies.

    ck Robe shook his head gravely. ¡°The police are on their tail. I dare not contact them now.¡±

    ¡°Good. You did the right thing,¡± Butcher said, ¡°We cannot afford to make the authorities our enemy.¡±

    He looked from ck Robe to another equally muscr man. He only had on a tiny pair of short, so his huge biceps and washboard abs were on full disy. Each inch of his body was glistening with oil.

    Butcher looked him up and down appreciatively.

    ¡°Champion, any news on your end?¡± he asked.

    The well-oiled Champion giggled and lifted his pinky finger in the air.

    ¡°Well, I¡¯ve checked out what Fit Bro and his gang were up to before they disappeared. They followed the n closely. They were going after the district cat kings in Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Avenue. Oh, they covered Jiangmen University as well. Fit Bro might have been captured by one of the apostles in the districts. I¡¯m sure we¡¯ll find them if we go through each one.¡±

    ¡°That makes sense. Let¡¯s do it,¡± Butcher agreed, eyes narrowed in determination.

    He smashed his right fist into his left palm, which produced a loud boom.

    ¡°Once we catch whoever¡¯s behind this and rescues the Sphynx, we¡¯ll let him have a true taste of pain.¡±

    The congregation of muscr men looked at each other and smirked.

    They then broke into a fit of giggles.

    *

    A few nightster, Zhao Yao was back in his neighborhood¡¯s public park. He let out a yawn as he shifted on the long bench he was lying on.

    Zhao Xue was a short distance away, sparring with an imaginary King George.

    This was how he had been training his sister. He wouldpel the Sphynx to lend her his power, then he would conjure an illusion of King George to train her.

    Zhao Yao watched as she threw a punch at King George. The two met in mid-air, where Zhao Xue unleashed a kick in the cat¡¯s direction. Her moves were precise and powerful, but King George managed to subdue her with a kick of his own.

    The rumble carried on for a while longer before Zhao Xue asked for a timeout. She was panting heavily, her face flushed and dripping with sweat.

    It was a terribly high-intensity workout that threatened to knock the breath out of her.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s gaze swept from the top of her head to her feet, then back up again.

    ¡°Well, she¡¯s definitely gotten stronger. Does this mean she¡¯ll grow visibly muscr next time?¡± he wondered.

    Images of female bodybuilders shed through Zhao Yao¡¯s mind.

    ¡°That looks pretty good. I¡¯m sure Zhao Xue will be happy with her new physique,¡± he nodded to himself.

    Zhao Xue did not leave immediately after the session. A troubled look weighed her face down. Her eyes kept darting to King George. She kept opening, then closing her mouth, as if she wanted to speak but could not find the right words.

    Zhao Yao watched her with concern. Having grown up with her, he was familiar with that expression. He knew something was up.

    ¡°Alright, that¡¯s it for today. We¡¯ll continue tomorrow,¡± he spoke through the illusion of King George.

    Zhao Xue sighed as she watched the cat king¡¯s retreating figure.

    ¡°This sucks,¡± she muttered.

    It was obvious that Zhao Xue wanted him to elicit a response from him, but he was not giving in.

    ¡°I have a match in a while. I must not stay,¡± he thought, hastening his footsteps.

    ¡°Must pretend that I didn¡¯t hear that.¡±

    Unfortunately, Zhao Xue had grown to be more agile than he was. She caught up with him in a sh.

    This time, her sigh was even louder and more dramatic.

    ¡°God, I can¡¯t even sleep at night,¡± she whined.

    Zhao Yao pursed his lips. There was no getting away.

    ¡°What¡¯s happened?¡± he asked helplessly.

    Zhao Xue did not need to be told twice.

    ¡°I keep fighting with my girlfriend recently. I don¡¯t even know why it¡¯s happening! Every little thing sets me off. I¡¯m afraid that we¡¯ve reached the end of the road..,¡± her voice trailed off.

    Technically, her voice did not trail off. Zhao Yao just tuned her outpletely. He yawned from time to time, bored out of his mind. Herst statement caught his attention though.

    ¡°Do you think I could be bisexual?¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Zhao Yao/King George violently whipped his head around to face Zhao Xue.

    He chose his next words very carefully.

    ¡°I heard that,¡± he started cautiously, ¡°Multi-plug adapters, well, wear out more easily because it keeps changing. I think we should aim to be a bit more stable.¡±

    ¡°But my heart no longer beats like it used to when I¡¯m with her,¡± Zhao Xue admitted regretfully.

    ¡°I hate this feeling,¡± she murmured.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, you better put your sister on the right track before she sinks deeper,¡± he thought to himself, ¡°But how? Girls her age so rebellious nowadays. Geez.¡±

    He hid his face behind his palms, deep in thought.

    ¡°Of course, I don¡¯t know much about this,¡± he tried again, ¡°I can only tell you what I heard.¡±

    He swallowed.

    ¡°You need a power plug and a power socket to create electricity. Only power strips have both plugs and sockets and look how dangerous their lives are. They¡¯repletely exposed to the external environment, so they¡¯ll easily be in contact with water, which is life-endangering. If you stick too many plugs in them, they might overheat, you know? It¡¯s just not ideal.¡±

    Zhao Yao wished he could melt into a puddle and disappear when he saw the re his sister had shot him.

    ¡°I don¡¯t mean any offence. I just think that normal power socketsst longer,¡± he murmured awkwardly.

    Not a word that left Zhao Yao¡¯s mouth assuaged the misery his sister felt. She left the park with a solemn frown firmly in ce.

    ¡°S**t, I might have made things worse,¡± hemented, covering his face with his hands.

    While he wallowed in self-pity and me, he picked up the sound of excited paw-steps approaching.

    Roly Poly, Matcha, and Dust Ball were charging towards their owner enthusiastically. Between them, they were holding onto a struggling Dragon Li cat with their mouths.

    After a horrific week in the extradimensional belly, Zhao Yao had finally let him back into the world. The fat cat was happy to rid himself of the tumor that was Lion Head, whom was still patiently anticipating his return.

    Zhao Yao had tasked the supercats to locate the cat king in their district whenever he trained Zhao Xue. He had to abandon the cat colony in Jiangmen University after all, so he sought to take down the king in his own neighbourhood instead.

    Tonight, it seemed that the three musker-cats had seeded.

    Roly Poly, Matcha, and Dust Ball dumped the cat on the ground. His limbs were haphazardly bound together. He rolled around the ground helplessly, mewling.

    The Dragon Li cat looked fairly young. Zhao Yao suspected that he was barely a year old. Hurt and fear were written inly on his small face.

    ¡°Let me go!¡±

    ¡°Please don¡¯t eat me! I¡¯ve never groomed myself. I smell really bad!¡±

    ¡°Oh, Mama, how I wish you were here.¡±

    He made a sorry sight.

    Zhao Yao pursed his lips as he turned to Matcha.

    ¡°This guy¡¯s the cat king in our district?¡± he questioned.

    Matcha nodded. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s him. He¡¯s the only supercat in the neighborhood besides us. We beat him up a little before bringing him here.¡±

    At the mention of this, the little cat let out a sob.

    ¡°Why did you guys beat me?¡± he cried, ¡°I was sleeping when you ganged up on me! And hurt me! You are mean.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes at the three supercats.

    Matcha and Roly Poly spoke simultaneously.

    ¡°It wasn¡¯t me, it was Roly Poly.¡±

    ¡°It wasn¡¯t me, it was Matcha.¡±

    Zhao Yao pursed his lips.

    ¡°Alright, just go home, all of you,¡± he waved them off.

    The trio immediately sprung towards their home. Matcha turned back when he was a safe distance away.

    ¡°Don¡¯t forget the red packets!¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes. I¡¯ll send them in a moment.¡±

    The three cats cheered in unison, then ran away.

    ¡°Remember to wipe your feet first! And you can only y games after you¡¯ve eaten,¡± Zhao Yao called after them.

    ¡°Yes, we know!¡± Matcha yelled back.

    Zhao Yao shook his head at their disappearing figures. Then, he bent down and lifted the little cat into his arms. He carefully loosened him from the web of ropes that kept his limbs bound tightly together.

    He scratched the back of the cat¡¯s head as a form offort.

    ¡°Alright, alright. Everything¡¯s fine now. No one¡¯s going to eat you. Speaking of, do you want a bite?¡±

    After he posed this question, he held out a small sausage in front of the cat.

    His kind gestures stopped the cat¡¯s pitiful wails, but he still nced at Zhao Yao warily. He looked at the sausage and instinctively licked his lips, but did not dare to eat it.

    Zhao Yao knew that many strays were naturally skeptical of people, so he was patient with the little one. He continued massaging the top of his head while releasing Celestial Beats, which made it easier for the cat to rx.

    Half an hourter, amid the noise of a growling stomach, the cat took a tentative lick of the sausage. Having made sure that it tasted okay, he took one massive bite after another. He was practically inhaling the sausage, as if afraid that it would disappear at any time.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to rush. Make sure you chew your food so you don¡¯t choke,¡± Zhao Yao said soothingly, still stroking the young cat.

    Once he was finished, he bumped his head against Zhao Yao¡¯s chest affectionately.

    ¡°You¡¯re this district¡¯s cat king, aren¡¯t you? What¡¯s your superpower?¡± he asked.

    The Dragon Li no longer had any reservations around Zhao Yao.

    ¡°My power is amazing!¡± he eximed.

    The cat¡¯s voice sounded like a young boy¡¯s. It was high-pitched and bright.

    He leaped from Zhao Yao¡¯s arms andnded gracefully on the ground. He then raised his butt and shook his body so hard that it looked like he would explode.

    ¡°Nnnn...nnn..,¡± he growled with exertion.

    ¡°Wow? Is he concentrating all his energy for his power?¡± Zhao Yao wondered, ¡°Did Matcha manage to capture him because he needed to take time to unleash his power?¡±

    As his mind whirred with all kinds of possibilities, the cat stopped vibrating as quickly as and when he started. There was a gentle flopping sound that followed. The cat moved away from his original spot, a smug grin on his face.

    On the ground was a pile of brownish yellow stuff that emitted a faint odor.

    Zhao Yao stared at it wordlessly.

    ¡°That¡¯s s**t. That¡¯s just s**t, isn¡¯t it?¡±

    The cat looked up at him brightly, a sparkle in its eyes.

    ¡°Yes! That¡¯s my power!¡± he grinned.

    Zhao Yao scratched the bottom of his chin.

    ¡°Well, I believe pooping is a natural course of action we can all do. How is it a superpower?¡± he said matter-of-factly.

    ¡°My poop isn¡¯t normal! It¡¯s poisonous!¡± the cat replied confidently.

    Zhao Yao took another look at the pile of s**t, which was beginning to smell downright foul. He had no qualms that the cat was telling the truth. It smelt poisonous.

    ¡°Okay, but who¡¯s going to eat your poop? What¡¯s the point of it being toxic if no one will put it in their mouths?¡± Zhao Yao questioned.

    Having verified that this cat was in no way a threat, he started to discuss the Cat King Competition with him.

    Useless as his power might be, it turned out that the Dragon Li knew a lot about the contest.

    ¡°I hate fighting, so I¡¯ve never intended to take part,¡± he said in his boyish voice.

    ¡°Hey, you shouldn¡¯t give up that chance. Remember that fat ginger cat? He can take your ce. But you¡¯ll have to let us know when thepetition begins,¡± Zhao Yao suggested.

    ¡°Oh yeah, you don¡¯t know where I live.¡±

    Zhao Yao led the cat to his front door, made sure that he could recognize his house, then fed him a meal.

    The stray had never tasted cat food before, much less premium quality ones, so he wolfed it down in minutes, relishing every mouthful.

    Zhao Yao continued to pat him as he nted his face in the food dish.

    ¡°With that special power of yours, perhaps I should call you Yellow Mud. Yellow Mud, feel free toe back if you need food. Just go through that p there.¡±

    ¡°And remember to let us know when you receive your invite to thepetition.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I got it,¡± Yellow Mud responded through bites of food.

    After he bade goodbye to the little cat, Zhao Yao stretched his back with a yawn. He was exhausted.

    ¡°I¡¯ll sleep right after a shower.¡±

    He grabbed his pajamas and walked into the bathroom, where Baiquan was washing his hands.

    ¡°Hey, do you need the bathroom? If not, I¡¯m gonna shower,¡± he said, pulling his top off.

    ¡°I¡¯m good, Boss. You go ahead.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded. He heard the tap faucet turn off.

    ¡°Help me close the door when you leave.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    The moment Zhao Yao had stripped off all his clothes, he heard a session of sounds.

    It started with a gentle thud that sounded behind him. There was a swish as a piece of soap slid towards him and slowly skidded to a stop between his feet.

    The door was mmed shut.

    The next thing he heard was Baiquan¡¯s voice, which was unsettlingly close.

    ¡°Boss, can you pick up the soap for me?¡±

    Zhao Yao froze.

 Chapter 276: Resistance and Change

    <h4>Chapter 276: Resistance and Change</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao could feel a burning hot gaze centered on his back. Goosebumps were raised on almost every inch of his skin. He looked down tentatively at the soap between his feet.

    ¡°This feels weird. This feels very, very weird.¡±

    A montage of all the odd nces and gentleness that Baiquan had been exhibiting for the past couple of weeks started shing through his mind.

    ¡°Something is terribly wrong.¡±

    Just then, he could feel a wave of hot air against the nape of his neck, causing an explosion of cold chills to prick him from head to toe.

    ¡°Boss, won¡¯t you help me pick up the soap?¡±

    Zhao Yao exhaled deeply.

    ¡°He¡¯s managed to sneak up behind me just like that. He¡¯s really starting to surpass my physical abilities,¡± he started rambling to himself.

    ¡°Okay, Zhao Yao, stay calm.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll just have to switch to Matcha¡¯s power. I won¡¯t use it first. Perhaps I¡¯m just overreacting.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll take it slow and pick up the soap slowly. As long as I don¡¯t expose my -,¡±

    ¡°Boss, what are you doing?¡±

    This time, Baiquan¡¯s breath tickled his ear, as if he was literally right behind him. Every hair on Zhao Yao¡¯s body stood on its end. He instantly activated TimeFreeze and got as far away from the bathroom as he could in 12 seconds. He was so terrified that he managed to reach his front door with a bit of time to spare.

    There, he switched to Dust Ball¡¯s power and fell into the extradimensional belly.

    ¡°F**k!¡± he swore, making a beeline for the reinforced steel cage.

    He ced his foot against the Sphynx¡¯s cat¡¯s neck.

    ¡°What the f**k is your power? You better tell me everything. Why is Baiquan acting like a lecherous old man? Towards me?!¡± he demanded angrily.

    The Sphynx took a look at him, then started chortling.

    ¡°It took you some time to find out, didn¡¯t it? Now you¡¯ve seen the true horror of my power. Those who use it will never be able to reproduce. With that, I can and I will exterminate your kind!¡± he eximed.

    ¡°Exterminate my kind?¡±

    ¡°Yes! My power enables you to grow endlessly stronger, but not without paying a price. Once your body starts transforming, your sexual orientation will as well.¡±

    The Sphynx cat cackled deviously.

    ¡°As my power spreads and touches apostles everywhere, you will all be doomed to live and die without offspring! You will have no children to pass your powers on to. We will be free from your control. Us supercats will rule the world!¡±

    ¡°You evil little-! God, I don¡¯t even know what to say. Just tell me how to reverse this!¡± Zhao Yao ordered.

    ¡°It cannot be reversed,¡± the Sphynx revealed, nowughing maniacally, ¡°Once gay, always gay. Your apostle¡¯s never going to be the same again.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re a cocky little thing, aren¡¯t you?¡±

    Zhao Yao used Elizabeth¡¯s power to unleash a tidal wave of imaginary poop into the Sphynx¡¯sughing mouth. Within seconds, the cat was reduced to a twitching mess on the floor.

    ¡°Who¡¯sughing now, huh?¡±

    His grim sense of satisfaction did notst. He might have taught the Sphynx a lesson, but that did not change the fact that Baiquan had been, well, changed.

    ¡°The problem isn¡¯t that he¡¯s gay. It¡¯s that he¡¯s making unwanted sexual advances towards me! He¡¯s gonna be too strong to fight off one day. This can¡¯t do.¡±

    The Sphynx catughed weakly when he watched the myriad of worry and trouble that crossed his face. Heunched another vengeful poop attack in response.

    ¡°S**t Tsunami!¡±

    The onughtsted for 30 disgusting seconds. As it drew to an end, the cat was lying t on his back, shaking and foaming at the mouth.

    The state the Sphynx was in turned out to be a moment of inspiration for Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Maybe Baiquan just needs a reminder that he likes girls. An immersive illusion could do the trick. He¡¯s only been training for a couple weeks. I¡¯m sure it¡¯s reversible.¡±

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes as he pored through his mental repository for ideas.

    Half an hourter, he quietly dived back into the real world. He entered his bedroom stealthily. There was a quiver in his ears as he tried to detect Baiquan¡¯s location.

    Before he could identify his whereabouts, the door mmed shut behind him.

    Zhao Yao swiftly spun around, then took a few frightened steps back.

    Baiquan lifted his fingers from the doorknob. He was now dressed in an unnecessarily tight muscle tee that showed off each curve and valley of his muscles.

    ¡°Boss? Where did you go?¡±

    Zhao Yao had to stifle the scream that sat at the back of his throat. Baiquan was casting another one of those tender and docile looks his way.

    ¡°Don¡¯t move. I have something to show you,¡± he said through gritted teeth.

    ¡°What is it?¡± Baiquan asked innocently, tilting his head while batting his eyelids.

    Zhao Yao wasted no time in unfurling histest trick.

    It had been specially designed to deal with Baiquan¡¯s predicament. Instead of pulling him into just one illusion, Zhao Yao could plunge him into sensory overload. He hoped that would be enough to jolt Baiquan from his induced homosexuality.

    Zhao Yao let out a determined shout, then unleashed a barrage of audio, images, and videos into his mind.

    tek-06x, ofje-07x, ipz-95x, hodv-2103x, Sora Aoi, Yui Hatano, Kirara Asuka...

    Line after line of mysterious file names and women¡¯s names, along with the video footage embedded in them, were uploaded onto Baiquan¡¯s mind.

    The sudden onught of information stunned him into immobility.

    Zhao Yao knew that it was time to finish him off. Heunched himself at Baiquan and cupped his palms against his ears, sending one final st of sensations.

    ¡°Yellow Tsunami!¡±

    Baiquan¡¯s eyes grew round like marbles. His body started twitching involuntarily, barely at first, but uncontrobly in no time. Violent spasms continued to course through him as he received a tsunami of film.

    Zhao Yao watched as Baiquan copsed in a heap onto the ground.

    ¡°Did it work? That was a decade¡¯s worth of my favorites.¡±

    After three long minutes, Baiquan woke from the trance of decadence and desire. He got to his feet gingerly, face flushed. He could not look Zhao Yao in the eye when he spoke to him.

    ¡°Boss, what did you do to me?¡±

    Zhao Yao recounted everything that the Sphynx cat told him.

    Baiquan let out a sigh of relief at the end of the story.

    ¡°That would exin why I was feeling so weird recently. I don¡¯t know what would happen if you didn¡¯t step in, Boss.¡±

    ¡°Are you sure you¡¯re back to your usual self now?¡±

    ¡°Positive,¡± Baiquanughed awkwardly, scratching the back of his neck.

    Verbal assurance was not sufficient for Zhao Yao. He needed proof that Baiquan was straight as an arrow.

    He waved a hand and conjured a photo of a beautiful and skimpily dressed woman. There was a bit of color on Baiquan¡¯s cheeks when he looked at that image.

    Zhao Yao then showed him a picture of muscr f**kboys in tiny tank tops. Baiquan¡¯s facial response was one of judgmental disgust.

    ¡°Seems like you¡¯re really back to normal,¡± he concluded.

    ¡°I am and I¡¯m d. The side effect of this power is too much. Maybe I should stop borrowing it,¡± Baiquan said.

    ¡°No, you should keep training. It¡¯s freaking effective! Look at you!¡± Zhao Yao eximed.

    He then pounded his chest.

    ¡°My Yellow Tsunami worked, so that¡¯s how we can work around it. You¡¯ll just have to watch porn while you train!¡±

    Zhao Yao paused.

    ¡°Let¡¯s make it a minimum of two hours of porn a day!¡± he added brightly.

    Baiquan looked uncertain.

    ¡°I don¡¯t think that¡¯s a good idea,¡± he mumbled.

    ¡°I disagree,¡± Zhao Yao retorted.

    He walked to his study desk and flipped through it, obviously in search of something. It turned out that he was looking for a phone that was wedged somewhere deep within a drawer. There was a smug smirk on his lips as he handed it to Baiquan.

    ¡°Don¡¯t say that I don¡¯t look out for you. Within this phone lies a painstakingly umted collection of goodies that will ensure that you remain on the straight path in life,¡± he said, winking.

    Baiquan took the phone hesitantly.

    ¡°What if this doesn¡¯t work?¡± he asked.

    His mind was still reeling from the transformation he underwent in the past two weeks. He had no intention of ever going through that again. He had tried to make a move on his boss. Just thinking about that regrettable encounter made his balls hurt.

    ¡°It will. Whenever you feel that something¡¯s not right, use the phone,¡± Zhao Yao said brightly.

    Unfortunately, Baiquan still looked thoroughly unconvinced. Zhao Yao patted his shoulder firmly.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, dude. I¡¯ll keep an eye on you. I¡¯ll step in if I have to. You¡¯ll be fine,¡± he assured.

    The moment was interrupted when Hanako opened her bedroom door. She shuffled into the living room, yawning. Every drop of sleepiness dissipated when she noticed that a topless Zhao Yao had his hand on Baiquan, who was wearing the tiniest of tank tops. She lowered her gaze to the tent that had formed in Baiquan¡¯s shorts, a remnant of the porno-power that was unleashed on him.

    She gawked at them before spinning around, pressing her hands against her face.

    ¡°I¡¯m terribly sorry! Please excuse me,¡± she stammered incoherently before rushing back into her room and shutting the door behind her.

    Hanako leaned against the door and slid down on to the floor. Her heart was hammering against her chest.

    ¡°I...I don¡¯t even know... Those two are just too much! The living room?! They did it in the living room while I was sleeping?!¡±

    While she experienced a tiny episode of hysteria, Zhao Yao remained perfectly unperturbed. He looked to Baiquan, whom appeared embarrassed by what Hanako must have seen.

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. She¡¯s leaving for Japan in a few days anyway. We¡¯ll never see her again,¡± he said.

    His mission to keep her safe wasing to end soon. He was fully intending to bid goodbye to her then.

    As Zhao Yao returned to his bedroom, he thought about the other person whom was affected by the Sphynx¡¯s side effect.

    ¡°Does this mean Zhao Xue will be attracted to men now?¡± he wondered, recalling their awful conversation about power plugs, ¡°Perfect.¡±

    With a satisfied smile, he checked in on the extradimensional belly to make sure that everything was fine, then fell into a deep sleep.

    The next morning, he headed to work with the cats, Baiquan, and Hanako.

    Hanako kept casting odd looks at the two men as he drove them to the cafe. Every time Zhao Yao returned her gaze, she would look away immediately, face flushed. It was annoying.

    At lunch, Xiao Shiyu walked up to him, hands behind her back.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, do you know what I just saw?¡± she asked in a deliberately mysterious tone.

    ¡°What?¡± he asked, not even looking up from his game.

    He had no interest in whatever it was she might have seen.

    Her face broke into a mischievous grin.

    ¡°I caught Baiquan watching porn! He was hiding in the alley out the back door.¡±

    Shiyu was hoping to elicit shock or outrage from Zhao Yao. However, she got none of that.

    ¡°Okay, but why are you telling me this? That¡¯s perfectly normal behavior for a young man,¡± he said patronizingly.

    ¡°Well,¡± Shiyu started awkwardly, ¡°You know Baiquan used to have a crush on me, right? I¡¯m just a little worried about him.¡±

    ¡°If only he still had a crush on you. That would be a good indicator of whether something¡¯s gone wrong again,¡± he thought.

    Zhao Yao remained silent for a moment as he wracked his brain toe up with a believable excuse. Unsurprisingly, it was difficult to exin why someone was watching porn on the job, so he went with the truth instead.

    ¡°Porn helps him with his skill training.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Shiyu asked.

    She looked cross. The look on her face screamed, ¡°Do I look like an idiot to you?¡±

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you men creative when ites to finding reasons for watching that stuff,¡± she narrowed her eyes.

    ¡°Hey, don¡¯t drag me into this. I don¡¯t watch that s**t!¡± Zhao Yao eximed.

    Shiyu did not bother concealing the look of utter disbelief on her face.

    ¡°Whatever it is, just know that he¡¯s watching porn to grow stronger. Just ignore it the next time you see him,¡± Zhao Yao instructed, hoping to end the conversation.

    He massaged his throbbing temples when Shiyu left with a dissatisfied huff. He pulled up his phone and fired a message to Baiquan asking him to be discreet.

    The message was barely sent when the bells hung on the cafe¡¯s door chimed loudly.

    Zhao Yao looked up to see Inspector Ho And Old Man Zhuang strolling in. A posse of men in ck, Ah Wei included, was trailing closely behind them.

    The two men spotted Zhao Yao as well. They waved at him before settling down next to him, both grinning from ear to ear. Ah Wei nodded respectfully at Zhao Yao and took his position standing next to Zhuang.

    ¡°Hello, my boy. I hope it doesn¡¯t inconvenience you for us to drop by today,¡± Old Man Zhuang said.

    He stretched and extended both arms behind him.

    ¡°Your cafe truly is a gem. There¡¯s been so much to dotely and I really needed to make a trip here.¡±

    Now that the old man was bathed in the Celestial Beats, he could feel his body¡¯s tension and stress start to slip away from him.

    Inspector Ho patted Zhao Yao on the shoulder. He was wearing a face-splitting grin.

    ¡°Waddya think? We fixed the cafe up nicely, didn¡¯t we?¡±

    The two men wereughing too much. They were behaving far too happily. It was unnerving.

    ¡°What do you guys want from me?¡± he asked.

    ¡°Well, since you asked so nicely, I shall tell you the truth. We¡¯ve got a couple old pals that are hoping to have a good time here as well. Unfortunately, they can¡¯t be spotted out in a ce like this. Can you offer them special services after hours?¡±

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes at the Inspector.

    ¡°Why does everything that leaves your mouth sound so lewd?¡±

    Inspector Ho ignored thement. He rubbed his bald head, then shot Zhao Yao a raunchy smirk.

    ¡°We¡¯ll take you for the night.¡±

    ¡°How much?¡±

    ¡°Ten thousand per night!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s narrowed eyes widened in an instant.

    He started calcting if he could work overtime at the cafe. His top priority was still the daily missions, which needed time toplete. Then, he had to help Baiquan and Zhao Xue borrow the Sphynx¡¯s skill so they can train. He also needed time for himself to develop and master his own abilities.

    ¡°Oh yeah, how could I almost forget the most important thing? I need at least eight hours of sleep a day. Without sleep, my life would be meaningless,¡± he thought.

    After some deliberation, he came to a conclusion.

    ¡°Twenty thousand a night. And I will only work overtime for an hour.¡±

    ¡°Well, isn¡¯t that just some delightful daylight robbery?¡± Inspector Ho eximed, ¡°Aren¡¯t we friends anymore?¡±

    ¡°If we aren¡¯t friends, I wouldn¡¯t even consider extending my opening hours,¡± Zhao Yao said loftily, tapping his nose.¡±

    ¡°Even if Yui Aragaki, Lin Chi-Ling, or Emma Watson begged me, I would¡¯ve just said no.¡±

    ¡°Yeah, right,¡± the Inspector gritted his teeth.

    Old Man Zhuang simplyughed as he put a firm hand on his shoulder.

    ¡°We¡¯ll do as our boy says. Twenty thousand it is,¡± he stated.

    He beamed at Zhao Yao.

    ¡°My boy, I heard you can conjure very realistic illusions as well? The kind that you can actually touch and feel?¡± he asked eagerly.

    The old man looked like a child impatiently waiting for the school holidays to begin. All he needed toplete the look was to rub his hands with glee.

    ¡°I¡¯m unable to do that kind of magic,¡± Zhao Yao replied solemnly.

    At that moment, a great, white blur darted towards him. It was Roly Poly, who had a handphone dangling from the corner of his mouth.

    ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao!¡± the cat called out excitedly, ¡°Baiquan stole your secret phone! I stole it back for you. Are you d?¡±

    Unfortunately for Roly Poly, Zhao Yao was anything but d because on the screen was a video of two people getting it on.

    The moment Roly Poly skidded to a stop, Zhao Yao smacked the phone and its NSFW content out of the way.

    Like a meteor, the phone rocketed through the air at the speed of light. The impact it made from crashing into a table caused it to crumble into pieces on the floor.

    Roly Poly looked at its dismembered remains in horror.

    ¡°Uh, Zhao Y -,¡±

    He gulped down the rest of his sentence when Zhao Yao shot him a death re. Roly Poly puffed up his fur in fear. With a terrified yelp, he fled the scene.

    The entire cafe¡¯s attention was now squarely on Zhao Yao.

    He waved them off with an awkward smile.

    ¡°No worries. I identally hit the phone when I was trying to swat a fly.¡±

    Old Man Zhuang¡¯s brows furrowed. ¡°I thought that cat had something in its mouth.¡±

    ¡°Yeah. It looked like a phone.¡±

    ¡°What? A phone? Must be a trick of the light,¡± Zhao Yao triedughing it off.

    ¡°Mmm, has my eyesight worsened again?¡± Zhuang wondered aloud.

    ¡°No, I saw a phone too,¡± Inspector Ho said with certainty.

    He scratched his chin thoughtfully. ¡°I believe it was ying quite the interesting video too.¡±

    Zhao Yao let out a loud and unnatural bellow ofughter.

    ¡°Is that so? What did you see?¡± he asked.

    The Inspector shook his head. ¡°I can¡¯t say for sure. I saw it for a split second.¡±

    ¡°Oh, okay then. Perhaps we should go back to what we were discussing just now?¡± Zhao Yao suggested.

    A few minutester, Old Man Zhuang managed to correct Zhao Yao¡¯s misconception on the type of illusion he wanted.

    ¡°What kind of sordid and indecent proposal did you think I have?!¡± he cried, nting both hands on the table, ¡°All I want is to eat meat! To be specific, I want red braised pork belly!¡±

    Zhao Yao pursed his lips. It seemed like he misunderstood the kind of realistic experience the men asked for.

    Regardless, he still rejected them with a shake of his head.

    ¡°Getting the taste of red braised pork belly right will be tricky. It¡¯ll require a lot of effort on my end.¡±

    Old Man Zhuang cut straight to the chase. ¡°How much money do you want?¡±

    ¡°A thousand for a dish,¡± Zhao Yao responded without hesitation.

    There was a sparkle in his eyes.

    This was a fantastic opportunity to increase the cafe¡¯s revenue, which tranted into more experience points. Normal customers would never be unable to handle such extortionate prices. This guy, however, could.

    ¡°One thousand dors for one te of pork belly? Inspector Ho repeated incredulously.

    ¡°Don¡¯t say it like that! This ain¡¯t your normal red braised pork belly! You can eat as much as you want without overstuffing yourself or gaining an ounce of weight. It won¡¯t cause high blood pressure or diabetes or any other ailment. Now tell me, is the thousand dors not worth a piece of paradise?¡± Zhao Yao questioned.

    The inspector had no intention of letting up so easily, but Zhuang mmed one hand on the table, ending the conversation.

    ¡°We¡¯ll take it.¡±

    The grin on Zhao Yao¡¯s face was so wide that it looked like it might break his face in two.

    ¡°Deal. Please make your payment and your food wille,¡± he beamed.

    Once the promised thousand dors were given, Zhao Yao waved a hand above the table. Instantly, an enormous pot of red braised pork belly appeared right before the two men.

    There was steam pouring out of the pot. A generous serving of pork belly was filled to the brim. It was marinated in a luxurious red sauce that emitted a delectable fragrance. A bowl of rice was ced next to the pot, along with a pair of chopsticks.

    The food¡¯s aroma got Old Man Zhuang¡¯s mind reeling.

    How long had it been? Since he was diagnosed with a series of mdies years ago, he had been banned from consuming meat and alcohol.

    This one dish contained both, which easily made it one of his favorite things in the world.

    He did not hesitate to pick up the chopsticks. He plucked a piece of sulent pork belly and put it into his mouth.

    There was an explosion of vor when he took his first bite. The velvety smooth fatplemented the sharp crisp of the meat perfectly. Each surface was zed beautifully with a tangy sauce that hit all the right notes. It had a satisfying chewiness that made the process of consuming it simply delightful.

    For Old Man Zhuang, this was indeed his personal piece of paradise. For years, his doctors and bodyguards enforced on him a strict diet that definitely did not contain red braised pork belly. That was one of a long list of banned foods for someone with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and fatty liver disease.

    He never thought he would be able to taste it again.

    A blissful smile spread across his lips.

    He took another piece of meat, then raised the bowl of fragrant white rice towards him. He matched each mouthful of pork with one of rice, wolfing down the food like a starving refugee.

    The glistening meat was juicy, but not overly moist. It melted on his tongue, where it would leave ayer of full-bodied goodness. The sweetness of the pork belly and the granr texture of the rice was a heavenlybination for all the sense.

    ¡°Delicious. Simply delicious.¡±

    His bowl and chopsticks only touched the table when he was done eating every piece of meat and grain of rice. Of course, the gratuitous amount of food was ultimately not real, so he was still hungry and wanting.

    Zhuang did not order more food. Instead, he turned to Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°Can you make me feel that I¡¯m full?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t you want me to conjure more food?¡± Zhao Yao asked in surprise.

    ¡°No, not now,¡± the old man waved a hand, ¡°That was good. It was almost too good. If I kept eating like this, I¡¯m afraid I could never go back to the healthy s**t they feed me. I¡¯m telling you, my boy, it really tastes as nasty as a pile of s**t.¡±

    Zhao Yao pursed his lips.

    ¡°Why does he talk like he¡¯s had s**t before?¡± he thought to himself.

    He tapped his index finger in Zhuang¡¯s direction. A satisfying feeling of fullness and warmth settled in the old man¡¯s tummy. He rubbed it happily andy on his back.

    ¡°This feels good. I miss it. Being able to eat such excellent meat is in itself a great joy in life,¡± he sighed.

    He closed his eyes to relish the moment. When he opened them, he was looking at Zhao Yao.

    ¡°My boy, we¡¯ll being here every night after closing hours starting from tomorrow. I¡¯ll have to trouble you to prepare a great meal for us.¡±

    Zhao Yao was more than happy to do so since he was getting paid good money.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± he assured the man, ¡°As long as you pay for our services, I¡¯ll cook up anything at all that you want, even if it¡¯s s**t you ask for.¡±

    Old Man Zhuang chuckled.

    ¡°Well, I¡¯m not going to hold back then. Tomorrow, let¡¯s have a seafood fiesta. I want grilled scallops, shrimp stuffed tofu, steamed sea bass, spicy tiger prawns, squirrel mandarin fish...¡±

    Zhao Yao was thrilled that the man seemed to be checking off a very long list wish list. The more dishes he ordered, the more revenue went into his pocket and the more experience points he clocked.

    However, he had to raise a hand to stop him.

    ¡°Hold on, hold on. I¡¯ve never had any of those dishes. I can only create realistic illusions if I¡¯ve tasted them before,¡± he stated.

    ¡°Oh? Is that so?¡± Old Man Zhuang looked to the men in ck, ¡°Ah Wei, arrange for the head chef to prepare the dishes that I want our boy here to create. Send them to the cafe before each evening.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°That¡¯s too troublesome. I can¡¯t ept it.¡±

    Zhuang brushed him off with a casual wave. He repeated his instructions to Ah Wei, then asked him to transfer food money for this month to Zhao Yao.

    Just like that, his bank ount gained an additional 26 thousand dors.

    Zhao Yao did the math quickly.

    ¡°With this money, it shouldn¡¯t be hard to hit 50 thousand dors of profit by the end of the money. That would mean 500 experience points that I can double to 1,000 in total. Not bad,¡± he mused.

    This new route to revenue made Zhao Yao a very happy man. He walked Old Man Zhuang, Inspector Ho, and their posse out the door in high spirits, then dived straight into another round of PUBG.

    In Xiao Shiyu¡¯s eyes, all Zhao Yao ever did wasze around and yputer games.

    It irked her.

    She could not help but march up to him and asked, ¡°Boss, can you please help out a little and clean the cafe?¡±

    Zhao Yao mmed one hand on the table dramatically.

    ¡°Hey! Why do you make it sound like I do nothing around here?¡± he cried, outraged, ¡°Didn¡¯t you see that I just secured a big deal for us? It¡¯s hard work. I deserve a break.¡±

    Shiyu pointed at Mango, whom was a short distance away.

    ¡°Unfortunately, Mango¡¯s business has not taken a break,¡± she said glumly.

    The silly cat had pooped himself again. There was arge s**t stain that covered his bum and soaked through his long fur. He was like a huge, saturated paintbrush that smeared poop all over the floor when he sat down. Customers were fleeing from him and his golden trail.

    ¡°Oh my God!¡± Yan Xiao Qing yelled, running to Zhao Yao with Elizabeth in her arms, ¡°Boss, you have to do something about Mango!¡±

    ¡°Yuck!¡± Coco Sun stuck out her tongue.

    She pulled her roommate, Leigh Zhao, towards the furthest corner in the cafe.

    ¡°It stinks!¡± she shrunk against the wall.

    Mango eventually became the sole inhabitant of the cafe¡¯s center. He looked around curiously at the dispersed crowd,pletely unaware that it was him everyone was avoiding. He did not even notice that the lower half of his body was stained with brown.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s head was starting to hurt. He looked at Mango, then at his hands, then back to Mango again.

    ¡°Matcha,¡± he called out telepathically, ¡°Take Mango to the bathroom.¡±

    ¡°Why me? Ask Roly Poly to do it,¡± Matcha retorted.

    He had escaped to the highest tform on a kitty tower to get away from Mango and his s**t.

    Roly Poly was currently holed up beneath a table.

    ¡°I can¡¯t catch Mango! I¡¯m too fat to outrun him,¡± he said.

    He chuckled deviously to himself.

    ¡°There¡¯s no better time to use my invisibility than now!¡± he thought triumphantly.

    Zhao Yao looked from one cat to another.

    ¡°Elizabeth¡¯s mind control has never worked on Mango. As for Dust Ball...¡±

    The moment he turned to the tiny cat, she shook her head violently.

    ¡°No way am I cleaning that up,¡± she dered.

    ¡°Horrible cats. I can¡¯t rely on any of you!¡±

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes at Mango, whom was still roaming around carefreely, dripping s**t wherever he went. He sighed, then headed for the cat, whom he carried into the bathroom.

    After he bathed Mango and thoroughly disinfected the cafe, he slumped back into his usual seat.

    ¡°Today was pretty tough. Time for a break!¡±

    The next afternoon, Ah Wei arrived at the cafe bearing te after te of exquisite dishes. These were the food that Old Man Zhuang and his friends wanted to have tonight.

    It was going to be a seafood fiesta as nned. The grilled scallops, shrimp-filled tofu, steamed sea bass, spicy tiger prawns, and squirrel mandarin fish were all in attendance.

    Zhao Yao had a great time tasting each delicacy with Hanako, Shiyu, and Baiquan.

    The moment Shiyu bit into the mandarin fish, she was blown away by how the meat remained crispy even though it was bathed in a zingy, hot sauce. She looked pleasantly surprised.

    ¡°This is so good! I¡¯ve never had squirrel mandarin fish like that!¡± she eximed.

    Hanako was enjoying herself as well. Her eyes were closed in contentment like a cat¡¯s would. She took another bite of the tofu.

    ¡°This is the best meal I¡¯ve had in China.¡±

    Baiquan gave noments. His strict training torched calories, so he constantly needed to consume a lot of food to maintain his energy levels. He quietly wolfed down most of the food with a smile on his face.

    When the cafe closed for the day, Baiquan, Shiyu, and Hanako busied themselves with cleaning up. Zhao Yao, on the other hand, had some overtime duties toplete.

    He greeted Old Man Zhuang at the door. Tonight, he was apanied by one man in ck and two elderly gentlemen. Zhao Yao had no clue who they were.

    It was obvious that they were gued with mdies like Zhuang did. When they were within reach of the Celestial Beats, their faces lit up visibly. A look of rxation and relief then took over.

    Bowls and tes brimming with delicious-looking food magically appeared on the table when Zhao Yao waved a hand. The men gawked at him, eyes round as marbles.

    Surprise morphed into satisfaction as they tasted each and every one of the dishes.

    ¡°I finally...I finally have a chance to eat these again!¡±

    ¡°My dear boy, could you conjure some wine for us?¡±

    ¡°Come, Zhuang, have another one.¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ve not got together in too long.¡±

    ¡°We¡¯re all that remains of our gang now.¡±

    Perhaps Zhao Yao¡¯s illusions were overly realistic, or perhaps the men have not felt so rxed in ages. Whatever it was, they were getting tipsy within 10 minutes.

    ¡°Ah Song was only 14 years old. 14. He attacked first because I hesitated. It¡¯s all my fault.¡±

    ¡°Zhuang, look at my grandson. Just look at him! Ridiculous little thing. He¡¯s this ruthless capitalist. When I die, how can I exin this to our leader?¡±

    As the men got more intoxicated and started divulging more private information, Zhao Yao decided to leave.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you dare vomit,¡± he mumbled.

    As he settled back into his seat downstairs, he could hear muffled sobs and shoutsing from the drunk men. Zhao Yao threw a dirty look at the stairs.

    ¡°Boss, do you need me to ask them to turn it down?¡± Baiquan offered.

    ¡°It¡¯s alright. I doubt they¡¯ve had a chance to be like this in a long time,¡± Zhao Yao said, putting on his earphones.

    ¡°Alcohol¡¯s the perfect excuse for being who you truly are unapologetically,¡± he mused.

    After all, his illusions were merely realistic, not real. There was no alcohol served tonight. The men just needed a catalyst for release.

    An hourter, both of Old Man Zhuang¡¯s guests were sleeping soundly on the couch. Zhuang himself wasughing cheerily as he approached Zhao Yao.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry about this. They¡¯ve not had a drink in a while, so they got drunk rather quickly.¡±

    The old man continued to invite his friends to the cafe on the following nights. They brought with them a steady stream of extra revenue and experience points.

    Combined with Zhao Yao¡¯s diligence at fulfilling his daily missions, the Book soon reached Level 5 (4,828 / 10,000).

    However, even though every one of the cats¡¯ requests had been fulfilled, the main mission to raise the happiness index in the cat nation remained iplete.

    This inspired Zhao Yao to conduct a happiness survey that night.

    *

    A few minutester, Zhao Yao was in the carton-filled no man¡¯snd of the extradimensional belly. He was seated behind a desk. Airne was opposite him, eyes squinting from the shlight that was pointed directly at him.

    ¡°I need you to be honest with me, boy. Are you unhappy with me?¡± Zhao Yao demanded.

    Airne was shaking with fright. ¡°No...no, of course not.¡±

    ¡°Then, what do you think of the Vige of Dreams?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s the best ce ever!¡± he responded a little too quickly, ¡°Everyone gets along and we have enough to eat and so much to do. I love it there!¡±

    ¡°Is that so?¡± Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes.

    He brought the light closer to Airne¡¯s face.

    ¡°Why are you nervous, Airne? Are you hiding something? You bettere clean right now and tell me what¡¯s wrong with the Vige of Dreams.¡±

    ¡°Sir, everything I¡¯ve said is true. The Vige of Dreams is a wonderful strategy. We¡¯re all thankful for your leadership and King George¡¯s foresight. Under you, even strays like myself can lead a beautiful life full of games, food, and even catmint. Long live the Vige of Dreams!¡±

    A few minutester, Airne left the container as a horde of supercats, including Lion Head, Uncle Egg, and Ares, scurried over and surrounded him. With their foreheads furrowed together, they pelted Airne with a storm of questions, ¡°What happened? What did he talk to you about?¡±

    ¡°What did you guys talk about?¡±

    ¡°Is Zhao Yao intending to chase us away?¡±

    ¡°Gaia, it¡¯s all your fault! Who told you to shit outside the toilet! This must have infuriated King George and Zhao Yao which is why he¡¯s chasing us away!¡±

    Airne was holding in hisughter before a smile crept up his face, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we just talked about some useless stuff. All you have to do is to nod your head and agree with whatever he says. Just act along and say that the Vige of Dreams is the best. In that case, our rice, catmint and gaming would resume as usual.¡±

    All the supercats could finally breathe a sigh of relief upon hearing the good news. Airne cocked his head towards Sausage and informed him, ¡°Hey, you are next in line.¡±

    Sausage¡¯s body shook like a leaf upon hearing this dreadful news. Tens of pairs of eyes stared at him as he slowly made his way into the container.

    Sausage¡¯s trembling did not stop but rather intensified as he stood opposite Zhao Yao. Zhao Yao noticed how flustered he was and began processing all the information about him.

    Sausage was a stray cat by birth. Prior to staying in the Vige of Dreams, he used to serve as Airne¡¯s number one henchman. He used to belong to the southern campus of Jiangmen University. He was the quintessential bootlicker during his time serving Airne. His ability was simr to a Porcupine¡¯s. He could turn every strand of fur into a sharp needle.

    Zhao Yao had finally assembled aplete picture of Sausage in his head before he started asking, ¡°Sausage, how do you feel after spending so much time inside the Vige of Dreams?¡±

    Sausage immediately replied, ¡°It is great!¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s so good about it?¡±

    This question left Sausage stunned. After some deliberation, he finally mustered a stupid answer in a doubtful voice, ¡°I no longer have to bury my shit after shitting?¡±

    ....

    In front of the vibrantputer screen sat Ares, Diana and Catherine huddled together with their eyes glued to the movie and their body immersed in the effects of catmint.

    Ares reached his arm for a handful of catmint before squeezing all of them into his mouth at one go, ¡°I¡¯ve already told you that this was some random questioning that Zhao Yao came up with. Nothing is going to happen.¡±

    Catherine nodded her head to Ares¡¯s wise words, ¡°Mr. Ares, you are the most knowledgeable cat I have ever met.¡±

    Catherine¡¯s words were music to Ares¡¯s ears as he bellowed inughter, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s just because I¡¯ve spent a far longer time here than any of you. Naturally, I know a thing or two about Zhao Yao and King George¡¯s behavior. All he knows is to shout. He would nevery a finger on us.¡±

    Throughout the course of the movie, Ares did not forget to unt his humorous side from time to time, leaving the mother-daughter pair cackling happily.

    Unbeknownst to them, while they were engrossed in the enthralling plot and the amusing banter between them, a pair of angry eyes were staring at them. The owner of these eyes was none other than Caesar.

    This unknown ufortable sensation tugged at him continually as he observed the three cats relishing in this wonderful moment. Silently, he crept up to Ares¡¯s side and whispered into his ears, ¡°Brother Ares,e with me. I have something that I wish to consult you.¡±

    The two of them nearly jumped out of their skins when Caesar appeared next to them, out of the blue.

    After realizing that it was just her husband, Catherine pulled at his paws and asked, ¡°Caesar, what brings you here? Come join us for an episode of Downtown Abbey. It¡¯s so good.¡±

    Sadness had already clouded Caesar¡¯s features as he shook his head and replied, ¡°There is something

    I would like to discuss with Ares alone.¡±

    Ares¡¯s pupils constricted and replied, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go.¡±

    The pair of Diana and Catherine were perplexed by Caesar¡¯s abnormal behavior as they observed Caesar leading Ares to a remote corner of the belly. Caesar took in a deep breath before asking, ¡°Ares, have you fallen in love with Diana?¡± He only reached this conclusion after observing their behavior all these time. He had always kept this suspicion to himself but decided to confront him today.

    Ares was struck dumb by Caesar¡¯s question and thought, ¡°This guy actually suspects that I am interested in Diana?¡±

    Caesar throbbed with anger when he noticed how shocked Ares was upon hearing his question. Caesar instantly burst out shouting, ¡°I treated you as my brother and you want to bed my daughter?¡±

    A moment of silence ensued before Ares finally let out a sigh and exined, ¡°Hmph, I never intended to hide this from you. However, things have already advanced to this stage. You will not be able to set your mind at rest unless I exin everything to you.¡±

    Caesar grew even more suspicious when he heard Ares¡¯s words.

    Ares shut his eyes momentarily as his chest rose and sank. He mustered all his courage before saying, ¡°My loyal brother, actually ... I like male cats.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Caesar¡¯s fur stood on ends and he could not believe a single thing Ares had said, ¡°What did you just say?¡±

    Ares buried in his head in his chest and dared not make eye contact with Caesar, ¡°Since young, I have grown up alongside F¨±jin, Gaia and the rest. You know that all of them are male cats. To tell you the truth, I didn¡¯t even know about female cat¡¯s existence in the past. Hence, I have already shared an intimate rtionship with them long before I met you guys.¡±

    Caesar pressed his forehead against his paw and tried his best to digest this seemingly impossible piece of information. His eyes drifted from F¨±jin to Rakshasa, then to Gaia before they finally stopped at Lucifer.

    He noticed the American Shorthair turning his paws into a pair of metal ws before mming them incessantly against Lucifer¡¯s body.

    Lucifer¡¯s body was already twitching from this bout of abuse. However, he shouted, ¡°Come, give me an even harder p. A fiercer one! Come on, use your strength!¡±

    Caesar could feel the cold sweat umting on the back of his head as he thought, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that Lucifer and Rakshasa are also?¡¯

    Ares was engulfed in grief as he continued, ¡°By the time we learn about the existence of female cats, it has already been toote. We were no longer aroused by them anymore.¡±

    Caesar felt ashamed for suspecting Ares and took a few steps back. He triedforting him by saying, ¡°My loyal brother, I¡¯m so sorry. I never knew that you had such an unspeakable story .. I¡¯m so sorry ...¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not your fault, it¡¯s ours.¡± Ares cried out, ¡°I was always afraid that you would look down on me if you learn the truth.¡±

    ¡°No! Why would I do that?¡± Caesar stretched his arms across Ares¡¯s shoulders and started consoling him.

    However, a sheepish smile crept up Ares¡¯s face the moment Caesar left him alone. He thought, ¡°I guess that fool has fallen for my lies. This would buy more time for me to be with Catherine and he will never suspect a single thing about us.¡±

    Suddenly, Ares acutely felt a wave of cold wind blowing against his back. This was not ordinary ones but those that could sed shiver done your spine instantly. Goosebumps appeared all over his body.

    He immediately turned his head around and stared in the direction of the metal cage. He saw the Sphynx Cat staring at him with an amiable smile on his face.

    Ares was so confused by his actions and started blinking to ensure his eyes did not y a trick on him. He had never spoken to this cat before. However, the Sphynx Cat started blinking his eyes back at him.

    An unknown fear sprang into his head the moment Ares noticed his blinks. He immediately turned around and made a run for it,

    The Sphynx Cat stared as Ares disappeared into the seas of supercat. A faint smile appeared on his face as he muttered, ¡°I never expected to meet someone so simr to me in this ce.¡± By utilizing his heightened sense of hearing, he had managed to eavesdrop on their entire conversation.

    Meanwhile, Sausage was jumping up and down, filled with unbridled happiness. He eximed, ¡°It is so easy! Just pacify him with a few yeses. Oh yes, Gaia, it¡¯s your turn.¡±

    The seas of straycats turned their heads in unison towards Gaia. All they saw were a pair of blood-shot eyes adorned with dark circles, staring intently at the screen. He had no intentions to leave his seat at all.

    Uncle Egg frowned and asked, ¡°How long has this guy been ying for?¡±

    Baozi answered, ¡°I have no idea. But he has been ying since the moment I opened my eyes.

    Sausage shook his head andmented, ¡°Anyway, he has been ying when I was having my meals before I sleep and even after I wake up. That¡¯s practically the entire day.¡±

    Uncle Egg¡¯s right eyebrow shot up as he eximed, ¡°Maybe this cat¡¯s superpower is that it doesn¡¯t need to sleep!¡±

    Airne rushed towards Gaia and tapped on his shoulders, ¡°Hey kid, it¡¯s your turn!¡±

    Gaia turned a deaf ear to Airne¡¯s words. With both eyes glued to the screen, he began muttering, ¡°My ... my ... my ...¡±

    Meanwhile, Uncle Egg had slowly crept behind Gaia and produced a small current at the tip of his paw before jamming against Gaia¡¯s neck.

    Following a series of violent convulsions, Airne and Gaia instantly copsed to the ground.

    Uncle Egg waved his hands when he noticed that both were unconscious and eximed, ¡°Bring him in!¡± Baozi and Sausage immediately dashed over and brought Gaia into the container.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead creased together when he observed this strange sight of Gaia being lifted in and asked, ¡°What happened to him?¡±

    Baizi replied, ¡°He refused toe in because of that game. Uncle Egg had to knock him unconscious so that we can bring him in.¡±

    Beads of sweat trickled down Zhao Yao¡¯s back as he listened to Baozi¡¯s exnation. His eyes drifted towards the unconscious Gaia before mumbling, ¡°Just bring him out first, send him here once he wakes up ... hmph ... as for the next cat ... hmph, Baozi since you are already here, just stay.¡±

    Zhao Yao made eye contact with Baozi and mustered his most amiable smile before asking, ¡°Baozi, how do you find your life here? Are you used to it yet?¡±

    Behind Baozi, Sausage was dragging Gaia out of the container as if he were a dead corpse. Sausage bit Gaia by the back of his neck as he struggled to drag him out. Along the way, Gaia¡¯s head even smashed against the edge of the door, leaving a giant bruise.

    Zhao Yao bit his lower lip and stared earnestly into Baozi¡¯s eyes, ¡°Do not be nervous. Don¡¯t be afraid to say anything thates to your mind. This is a democratic ce.¡±

    Baozi was a maroon Dragon Li. His entire body was spread across the floor, with his tail wagging from left to right. He cocked his head sideways and replied, ¡°Everything¡¯s great!¡±

    ¡°Hmph, in that case, do you have any suggestions to improve this ce. For example, you guys might need more potable water or simply just more meat. You can raise any suggestions here.¡±

    ¡°No ... I do not have any requests.¡± Baozi immediately shot out his response with a shook of his head. However, based on Zhao Yao¡¯s years of experience interacting with cats, he knew that Baozi was hiding something from him.

    ¡°After interacting with the two of them, none of them are willing to tell me the truth.¡± This got on Zhao Yao¡¯s nerves. Hence, he went forward and cradled Baozi in his arms. Zhao Yao raked his finger through Baozi¡¯s fur before whispering into his ears, ¡°You do not have to be afraid.¡±

    Baozi had spent the bulk of his life roaming the streets as a stray cat. Naturally, he was rather reluctant to be cradled in Zhao Yao¡¯s arms initially. However, the soothing sensation which permeated through his body stemming from Celestial Beats and Zhao Yao¡¯s finger made him shut his eyes in pleasure. If this was heaven, he would never want to leave.

    Zhao Yao continued with his questioning, ¡°Rx. This ce is specially created as a haven for cats. Our number one priority is for cats to enjoy their time here. If you need anything, feel free to tell it to me. We will do whatever we can to satisfy your needs.¡±

    The muscles in Baozi¡¯s face started twitching as his body gave a sudden shudder. His lips were trembling before he finally spoke, ¡°Do you have that ... that ...¡±

    ¡°Yes?¡± Zhao Yao pressed his ear against Baozi¡¯s mouth, ¡°What is it?¡±

    Baozi¡¯s face was flushed with embarrassment as he whispered, ¡°Those kinds ... kinds of films where male and female cats are engaged in a physical activity.¡±

    Zhao Yao instantly loosened his grip the moment he managed to lure the answer out of him. Baozi fell to the ground with a loud thud. Zhao Yao ran his finger through his hair and muttered, ¡°Alright, alright. I will give it you tomorrow morning.¡±

    Baozi jumped to his feet and cocked his head towards Zhao Yao with a radiant smile, ¡°I will be waiting for you!¡±

    ...

    After hours of interrogation, Zhao Yao has finally returned to hisfortable bed as his fingers ran across the mousepad, in search of the cat film.

    Throughout the hours of interrogation and questioning, Baozi was the only one who sumbed to his probing and revealed what he actually craved for. The remaining cats¡¯ mouths were sealed shut.

    However, Zhao Yao¡¯sborious search was to no avail. All he managed to find were videos of cats acting cute. None of them were cat action films.

    ¡°Who is even interested in this?¡± Left with no choice, Zhao Yao instantly created a thread on the forum, ¡°Anyone has any ess to cat films? It should include love, action, and cats.¡±

    He returned to the thread after 10 minutes only to see it removed by the moderator.

    ¡°D*mn it, why did they have to remove my thread?¡± With his brows tightly knitted together, Zhao Yao went on Baidu tomence his treasure hunt, ¡°I don¡¯t believe that there are no such films on the inte.¡±

    Zhao Yao struck gold instantly. After just a few minutes, he had already found a trove of cat videos.

    Zhao Yao eyes widened with fear as he read the title on the cover page, ¡°The Japanese even bothered creating films specially made for cats. They are truly one of a kind.¡±

    Zhao Yao kept to his words and snuck a thumb drive into Baozi¡¯s paw the second day. Baozi¡¯s breathing quickened and he could hardly hold in the excitement. He immediately ran towards hisputer terminal.

    The corner of Zhao Yao¡¯s lips curled up upon seeing another satisfied cat customer. However, the mission remained unfinished.

    ¡°What the hell is going on?¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin thoughtfully and talked to himself, ¡°Are the cats unwilling to share certain private information with me because I am a human? How about King George? Will they divulge their secrets?¡±

    Hence, Zhao Yao brought Matcha into the belly for him to investigate and understand the situation within it.

    Matcha¡¯s face crumbled the moment he heard Zhao Yao¡¯s troublesome request, ¡°Huh? You want me to go into that stupid belly and find out how the country bumpkins are surviving inside?¡±

    Matcha remained lyingfortably on his massage throne. He slid Zhao Yao a condescending re and grumbled, ¡°What¡¯s the point of investigating this bunch of fools? Having food to eat and beverages to drink should be more than enough for them.¡±

    Zhao Yao kept his cool and ran his fingers through the snow-white fur on his belly, ¡°Alright, it¡¯s just gonna be a few hours. I¡¯ll reward you with your favorite canned food when you return. Deal?¡±

    ¡°You do not have to touch me when you speak to me.¡± Matcha returned Zhao Yao¡¯s kindness with another condescending re. He lifted Zhao Yao¡¯s palm off his belly and threw it away beforementing, ¡°You are trying to bribe me with a single canned food? Are you treating me like those idiotic ordinary domestic cats? I am a supercat. The strongest supercat to ever step foot on Earth. I am the savior of my kind.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s temple throbbed with rage as he gritted his teeth and replied, ¡°So what do you prefer then?¡±

    Matcha raised his eyebrows and replied nonchntly, ¡°Hmph, Rice Cake seems to be having a lot of fun ying PUBG. Zhao Yao, just buy me aputer with that game installed inside.¡±

    ¡°Stupid cat, he has really gone overboard this time around.¡± Zhao Yao sent a tight p across Matcha¡¯s face and roared, ¡°You have grown rather cocky these days! I¡¯m just asking you for a tiny help and you actually demanded such crazy requests for it?

    Are you even interested in seeding my empire?¡±

    Zhao Yao did not bother waiting for Matcha¡¯s reply. He opened his mouth and activated Dust Ball¡¯s ability before shouting, ¡°Get in now! I¡¯ll give you a canned food at the end of it.¡±

    Matcha could feel the vicious aura sweeping through the apartment. With his entire body shaking like a leaf, he made his way inside the belly.

    ¡°You could have just told me nicely. Why do you have to be so fierce?¡± Matcha muttered with his butt swinging left to right.

    Matchanded into the belly with a deafening thud. He was greeted by a scene of Caesar squatting in the litter box with his face all scrunched together. His thick and furry tail was standing on end as his body froze.

    Caesar had never expected to meet Matcha under such circumstances and even shat on his legs.

    However, he had no time to be bothered by this insignificant problem. He immediately dashed out of his litter box and stopped right before Matcha, ¡°King George, why did you grace us with your presence today?¡±

    ¡°Do note near me, you smell like shit.¡± Matcha gave a dismissive wave of his paws, signaling Caesar to take a few steps back. Zhao Yao¡¯s voice rang in his head and said, ¡°Remember to have a good attitude. Ask them about their needs. Show your care and concern for your cats.¡±

    Matcha could not be bothered by this silly request but stillplied with it for fear of Zhao Yao¡¯s rage. He looked at Caesar and asked nonchntly, ¡°I just came here for a look. So how¡¯s life inside the Vige of Dreams? Do you have any requests?¡±

    ¡°My entire family is having a great time here. The only thing bothering me is the bald patch at the back of my head. You do understand that long-furred cats like us take a far longer time to grow out our fur. King George, do you have any tricks to make my fur grown faster?¡±

    Matcha pranced behind Caesar and what he saw made Matcha do a double take. Even though the fur had already started to grow, the disparity in length was simply too obvious. He had never seen a Ragdoll with such an ugly bald patch in his life.

    However, Matcha pretended it was nothing serious as he assured Caesar, ¡°It¡¯s just a tiny patch.¡± Suddenly, his eyes gleamed with excitement as he proimed, ¡°I have a solution!¡±

    Matcha began shouting at Zhao Yao telepathically, ¡°Zhao Yao, let me out for five minutes.¡±

    Five minutester, Matcha had returned with a green hat dangling from his mouth.

    ¡°This is the first hat I¡¯ve ever worn in my life. Now I¡¯m entrusting it into your hands. I also suffered from a bald patch in the past. This hat was my life savior.¡±

    Caesar tried his best to hide the doubt on his face as he inspected the hideous green hat andmented, ¡°Are you sure I¡¯ll look good by putting this on?¡±

    ¡°My green hate is the most fashionable essory in the entire world.¡± Despite Caesar¡¯s reluctance, Matcha continued putting it on his head, ¡°Nice! You are a perfect match for this perfect hat! You look at least two times more handsome than before!¡±

    ¡°Really?¡±

    Matcha just shoved Caesar along before stopping in front of a full-length mirror.

    Caesar stared at this new look and began nodding his head, ¡°Actually, this looks really good.¡±

    Matcha flicked his head gleefully when he noticed how satisfied Caesar was with his new look. He thought, ¡°I¡¯ve appeased my father-inw with a simple trick. Match, you truly are a genius!¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao was carefully observing Matcha¡¯s behavior within the belly. He thought, ¡°This brat. Is this solution even feasible in the long run?¡±

    For the next hour, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes remained glued to Matcha as he went around chatting with the cats. He was just like the presidential nominees right before the election. However, Matcha did spend an inordinate amount of time with Diana, which was cut short by Zhao Yao¡¯s timely reminder.

    By sending Matcha in his ce, Zhao Yao did manage to elicit more responses from the cats. However, the chain mission remained iplete.

    ¡°What the hell is going on?¡± Zhao Yao mmed his palm against the table as his brain exploded with fury. He pondered, ¡°All of them look so happy! I mean just look at their smile! Why can¡¯t they just let meplete the mission?¡±

    Just when Zhao Yao was about to rip his hair off of his scalp, his eyes had somehow gravitated to a corner of the belly. His eyes gleamed with excitement when he saw the Sphynx Cat held within the iron cage.

    At this moment, Matcha had appeared next to Zhao Yao¡¯s calf, with his tail wagging excitedly. Matcha¡¯s eyes squinted into a line as a broad smile appeared on his face. He reached his paws towards Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! I have done it! Where is my canned food?¡±

    ¡°Kitchen. Take it yourself.¡±

    With a spring in his steps, Matcha bounced into the kitchen only to be disappointed y the sight of a half-eaten canned food resting against the wall.

    Anger roared through Matcha as he stomped his way towards Zhao Yao, ¡°Zhao Yao! Is this the leftover from Elizabeth?¡±

    However, Zhao Yao was indifferent to Matcha¡¯sint. He was busy contemting the situation in the belly. He simply pacified him by saying, ¡°Ya, but it has only been opened for one hour. Elizabeth doesn¡¯t want the rest of it. Don¡¯t waste the food and just finish it.¡±

    ¡°This old brat! I knew that he had always favored Elizabeth but this is stupid! As a female cat, she can never seed his caf¨¦ empire! I will be the one sitting on his throne while she watches from beneath!¡± However, hunger prevented Matcha fromining further. The smell of the fish and prawn lured him to the food. He took one bite and could not stop. He thought, ¡°This is pretty good.¡±

    Zhao Yao stared at the pesky Sphynx Cat and reflected, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me he is also included in my mission?¡±

    Zhao Yao found this hypothesis rather possible. Since he had to win his heart one day, Zhao Yao decided to make today the day. He absorbed himself into the belly and came face to face to the Sphynx Cat.

    Sphynx Cat was behaving like usual. He curled his body into a ball with his eyes shut together. He only lifted his eyelids when he noticed Zhao Yao¡¯s presence before mming them shut again.

    A beaming smile appeared on Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he reached his hand towards the back of Sphynx Cat¡¯s head before asking, ¡°How¡¯s your stay here?¡±

    ¡°Are you used to the food I have prepared?¡±

    ¡°Do you have any requests? King George and I are very humane individuals. Do not be afraid to raise any requests. We will do our best to satisfy your needs.¡±

    A lopsided smile crept up the cat¡¯s face as he sniggered, ¡°How about you let me out of here?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s finger continued running down the Sphynx Cat¡¯s spine. The furless cat¡¯s spine exuded a unique sensation. It felt just like a small stove, radiating warmth into Zhao Yao¡¯s fingertips.

    ¡°You are currently too dangerous. You know that I cannot just let you out without supervision.¡±

    Sphynx Cat simply shut his eyes when he heard Zhao Yao¡¯s patronizing remarks. Evidently, he was not interested in continuing the conversation.

    Sphynx Cat¡¯s response had put Zhao Yao in an extremely difficult spot. Actually, Zhao Yao had ced extra effort these days to talk to him and better understand him. However, his response was exactly the same as the stone in a shitpit, smelly and unresponsive. There were no signs of him giving in anytime soon.

    After these days of observation, Zhao Yao had also failed to pick up any of his interests.

    His behavior was exactly like a criminal in his cell. He would be stuck in the same spot every day, except when he went to shit or eat. For the rest of the day, he would just shut his eyes and sleep. However, Zhao Yao had a feeling that he was not actually sleeping. In reality, he was willing his bones and muscles to move, continuing his ceaseless training.

    Zhao Yao propped his chin on his hand and asked, ¡°Is there anything that you would like to eat? Or maybe y?¡±

    It would be impossible for Zhao Yao to brighten his mood if he chose to keep his mouth sealed.

    However, the Sphynx Cat¡¯s eyelids suddenly trembled as he looked towards Ares¡¯s direction.

    In reality, Sphynx Cat had turned into a gay the moment he awakened his power, but this was the first time he had ever felt such an intense desire for another male cat.

    After all, supercats remained a minority amongst the entire cat poption. The probability of finding a suitable male supercat candidate amongst the sea of cats was virtually impossible.

    Hence, the Sphynx Cat had focused all his energies on spreading his influence and training himself in an attempt to drown his loneliness.

    When he heard the amazing news that Ares was a gayst night, he felt arge jolt of electricity rushing into his heart, breathing life into his otherwise dormant love life. This euphoria was something he had never experienced.

    Under Zhao Yao¡¯s ceaseless questioning, he finally gave in to the pestering and opened his eyes and mouth, ¡°Bring that cat, Ares, into my cage. I would like to chat with him.¡±

    ¡°Ares?¡± Worry snaked through him when Zhao Yao heard Ares name being mentioned. However, he had a sudden epiphany and concluded, ¡°Oh yes, Sphynx Cat¡¯s ability would cause his sexual orientation to change. This means that he has also turned gay!¡±

    ¡°However, why is he interested in Ares?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes naturally gravitated towards Ares who was busy chatting andughing alongside the pair of Ragdolls. He shook his head and said to himself, ¡°Never mind, given Sphynx Cat¡¯s current condition, he will not be able to use violence against Ares. I¡¯ll just let him talk to Ares.¡±

    One minuteter, Ares found himself sitting inside the imposing iron cage with all sorts of questions flooding his head.

    Subconsciously, he began licking his paws as he made eye contact with the Sphynx Cat before asking, ¡°I heard that you had something to talk to me about.¡±

    The Sphynx Cat gave Ares a seductive smile as his paws ran provocatively across his fur, ¡°I heard what you said to Caesarst night.¡±

    Terror overtook Ares¡¯s face as his jaws dropped to the ground, ¡°I have no idea what you are talking about.¡± In his head, he was thinking, ¡°This guy ... don¡¯t tell me that he has already seen through my lies?¡± Ares had never been confident in his incredulous lie and knew that he cannot fool everyone. How could a male cat possibly be gay?

    An unknown pleasure swarmed through his body when the Sphynx Cat noticed how flustered Ares got. A devilish smile appeared on his face as he whispered, ¡°You don¡¯t have to be scared. Actually, we are both the same kind. We share simr interests.¡±

    ¡°Same kind?¡± Ares stared suspiciously at this dubious cat and thought, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me this cat is also going for Catherine?¡±

    His brief thoughts were interrupted by the Sphynx Cat, ¡°I know this feeling very well. We can¡¯t control ourselves even though we know that this is immoral, that this is wrong. We are filled with regret and hate for ourselves but we just can¡¯t control this urge. I understand you.¡±

    Ares¡¯s eyebrows knitted together as he had difficultyprehending his words. Ares then spoke in an undertone, ¡°What do you want?¡± His eyes drifted across the beams or iron pole and sneered, ¡°Aspared to you, I have a far better chance.¡±

    ¡°Nothing, I just wanted to talk to you.¡± The Sphynx Cat let out a long sigh, ¡°I understand that both of us cannot afford to do anything with so many eyes staring at us. However, can you lick my fur?¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t even have fur!¡±

    At the same time, Zhao Yao¡¯s voice had already rung in his head, ¡°If you help him lick his fur, I will satisfy any wish you have as long as it is not a morally corrupt thing to do.¡±

    Momentster, Ares had buried his head beneath his muscr chest and began licking his non-existent fur. He thought, ¡°Why do I feel so strange doing this?¡±

    Finally, Zhao Yao¡¯s mission waspleted the moment a satisfied smile appeared on the Sphynx Cat¡¯s face.

    Meanwhile, an imposing muscr bloke had just set foot in Jiangmen University. He stared at the college students walking past him and thought, ¡°Is the apostle who took away Sphynx Cat from this university?¡±

 Chapter 283: The Search and the Upgrade

    <h4>Chapter 283: The Search and the Upgrade</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    The muscr bloke was none other than the ¡®Champion¡¯ of Muscle Society. He was one of the three strongest members, including Butcher. His job was to find any trail of evidence which might lead to the Sphynx Cat¡¯s disappearance.

    ¡°I have already spoken to the cat kings of Xiang Yang district, but there was nothing suspicious in their replies.¡± Champion continued sauntering down the streets of Jiangmen University. His eyes would constantly dart from one student to another.

    ¡°This Jiangmen University was thest area Ah Qiang checked out before that incident urred. I believe the cat king would definitely know a thing or two about it. Or maybe, the apostle who kidnapped Sphynx Cat is inside this ce right now.¡±

    The Champion¡¯s eyes suddenly gravitated towards the basketball court as his eyes were glued to the group of college boys hustling in a game of basketball. A smile danced on his lips as he watched this outburst of testosterone.

    ¡°They are really a bunch of energetic young men!¡±

    Champion¡¯s original n was to collect some intel in the school by surveying the students, asking them if anything weird had happened in the past week.

    This was based on his experience as an apostle. There were bound to be anomalies and weird happenings wherever a supercat or an apostle roamed.

    At this moment, his ears gave a quick shudder as a gentle roar grabbed his attention. He swept his ahead across and saw a group of girls ying in the corner of the court. One girl stood out in particr. She was extremelynky and had just viciously dunked a basketball into the rim.

    The girl who did that was Zhao Xue.

    Champion could not help but slowed down his pace as he stared at the girl in awe. She was able to slide past a series of defenders with ease. Champion could easily tell that this girl was on a whole different levelpared to the rest in terms of her physical gift and techniques. Actually, her skills had far surpassed any college student.

    ¡°Woah, this girl is really quite sick.¡± Champion¡¯s eyes squinted into a hard line as he continued observing her. As an apostle who had previously received the gift of training from Sphynx Cat, he also had a body which others could only dream of. Naturally, he also had superior eyesight.

    However, from his judgment, Zhao Xue¡¯s ability had not surpassed what was considered natural. Her reaction and physical gifts were great but they were just talents, not superpower.

    Hence, he turned his body around and continued collecting more intel regarding any unusual happenings in the school.

    ...

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao had justpleted his second chain mission after baiting Ares to lick the Sphynx Cat¡¯s fur. As a result, he had earned 200*2 experience points from it, elevating his BOOK to lv5(5228/10000).

    These points were sufficient for him to upgrade a supercat.

    However, Zhao Yao decided to put that on pause as he took a glimpse at the new chain mission.

    Chain Mission No.3: Cats require ample space.

    Objective: Increase thend space upied by cat nation until each cat has at least 50 square meters of space to themselves.

    Reward: 400 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    ¡°D*mn it, the experience points really doubled again!¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes gleamed with excitement as his heart thumped rapidly. The first mission gave him 100 experience points while the second mission gave him 200. He already had a hunch that the points would grow in an exponential fashion. This only confirmed his hypothesis which sent him brimming with excitement.

    ¡°I have no idea if the fourth mission would follow this exponential rtionship as well! However, this is not the time to worry about that!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyebrow knitted together when he read the objective of the mission, ¡°Increase the space? I could definitely increase the space inside Dust Ball¡¯s extradimensional belly if I continue upgrading her. However, I have no idea how many levels it will take to reach the stipted size. Currently, I already have more than 10 cats. This means I need more than 500 square meters of space!¡±

    Zhao Yao knew that it was not wise to solely depend on upgrading Dust Ball¡¯s ability. He began eyeballing this ce as a smart idea sprang into his head, ¡°If the mission is referring only to the horizontalnd space, I can definitely work upwards! Even though the extradimensional belly was only around 100 square meters, but its height was a staggering three meters!

    This incredible ceiling height was a total waste on cats. If I can separate this space into different floors, I will be able to utilize the empty space on top! This should be able to increase thend space each cat could possibly enjoy.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought long and hard about it and was confident about his method.

    Sincepleting his second cat chain mission, his BOOK had turned into lv5 (5228/10000).

    The cats¡¯ experience points were as follows:

    Matcha lv5(240/5000)

    Elizabeth lv5(240/5000)

    Dust Ball: lv5(460/5000)

    Ares lv4(310/2000)

    Lucifer: lv4(170/2000)

    With his current experience points, it was more than sufficient to either upgrade Matcha, Elizabeth or Dust Ball to lv6. On the other hand, he could also upgrade both Ares and Lucifer to lv5. This was a difficult decision which required Zhao Yao to consider their current situation.

    ¡°If I intend to improve mybat prowess, there will not be an obvious difference even if I upgrade all my cats. I might be weaker than when I am equipped with the supercat armor. Hence, I do not have to worry about mybat powers as of now.¡±

    ¡°Currently, Ares and Lucifer¡¯s power were more than sufficient. There is no urgent need for me to upgrade Elizabeth¡¯s power of control or illusion. I can consider upgrading them at the end of the month.¡±

    ¡°On the other hand, Matcha¡¯s power of timefreeze is ate game carry skill. This also applies to Dust Ball¡¯s extradimensional belly. Both of them have such great potential! Since I¡¯m not in an urgent need to increase mybat prowess, I can definitely consider upgrading Matcha or Dust Ball.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes swept across the extradimensional belly as he talked to himself, ¡°On the surface, it might seem as if the extradimensional belly will not directly increase my power. However, if I continue to improve the conditions here and make it more convenient to send the cats out, I can dispatch more cats to my aid. In the long run, this will be far more powerful than strengthening a single supercat¡¯s power.¡±

    Zhao Yao had set his mind to it and tapped on the upgrade button next to Dust Ball. He would reserve Matcha¡¯s upgrade for the end of the month.

    ¡°Erge ... erge ... please make the extradimensional belly bigger!¡±

    Zhao Yao began chanting feverishly as he spammed all his points into Dust Ball at one go.

    Immediately, the BOOK had plummeted to lv5(688/10000), while Dust Ball had upgraded to lv6(0/10000).

    The long-awaited ability branches had reappeared. They were:

    The water of vitality: This water had been infused with arge dosage of vitality. A single drop of it could cure anyone of fatigue.

    Light of Creation: Magnificent light rays would rain down on the extradimensional belly, enhancing the fruits and vegetable within it. Any supercat which consumed these enhanced vegetables would receive a boost in strength. These effects were permanent.

    ¡°No skill to erge the space?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s face crumbled in disappointment. He nced at the two powers¡¯ details and thought, ¡°This power to alleviate fatigue is rather handy, however, I don¡¯t even stay upte. On the other hand, this light of Creation can rece the nightmp inside the belly currently. Aspared to controlling the temperate using the artificial sun, this seems way stronger ... ability to boost supercats¡¯ strength?¡±

    ¡°Hmph, this is a farming skill! From the looks of it, the extradimensional belly is really morphing into a tiny world of its own!¡±

    ¡°Maybe this ability can even upgrade my cat rice to a new level!¡±

    Filled with the endless possibilities, Zhao Yao had immediately pressed on the Light of Creation.

    The next moment, the entire extradimensional belly was lit up. The light did note from a single source, but rather the ¡®sky¡¯ in the belly was illuminated by a mysterious source. The gentle yet warm light rays rained across the ce, spreading warmth to every single cat.

 Chapter 284: The Secret of Cat Grass

    <h4>Chapter 284: The Secret of Cat Grass</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    It immediately attracted the supercats¡¯ attention as the first ray of light from the Light of Creation saturated their world and illuminated the ce.

    The ceiling was shrouded in this warm, pale yellow glow. It felt exactly like the real sky outside.

    Zhao Yao spread his arms and tried to soak in this supposedly wonderful light with his eyes shut together, but there was nothing special about it.

    ¡°This is supposed to increase a nt¡¯s vitality. Let¡¯s test it ...¡±

    Zhao Yao instantly teleported into his apartment and brought in a pot of cat grass into the extradimensional belly.

    This pot of cat grass originated as a pack of seeds given by TaoBao for Zhao Yao¡¯s inordinate spending. Currently, it had already started budding as a pair of tiny green leaves grew from the stem.

    These weren¡¯t the ordinary catmint that could get cats all excited. Instead, it was a stimnt that would allow better contraction and movements of the intestines. It would allow cats to vomit out balls of furs stuck in the depth of their intestines. This would improve their overall digestive health and also provided much need vitamins and minerals.

    Zhao Yao stared at the pot of cat grass basking in this wonderful light but failed to notice any visible changes.

    ¡°Hmph, maybe I need to leave the nt here for a longer time,¡± Zhao Yao bent down and ced the pot in a secluded corner of the belly. He intended to check on its growth in a few days¡¯ time.

    Strangely, Zhao Yao woke up even before his rm rang the second morning. He instantly reached his arms out for his phone and thought, ¡°Hmph, the mission to protect Hanako should bepleted by now!¡±

    It had already been a month since Zhao Yao first met Hanako. Since the previous surprise visit, no one had bothered sending people out for her anymore. Hence, Zhao Yao was able toplete the mission without breaking a sweat.

    10 experience points were earned for each day Hanako was kept save. A bonus 100 points were even awarded if Zhao Yao managed to keep her away from harm¡¯s way for the entire month.

    With the missionpleted, Zhao Yao had bagged a total of 400*2 experience points.

    ¡°I guess it¡¯s time to talk to Hanako and understand her ns from now on,¡± Deep down, Zhao Yao knew perfectly that he could not protect her for the rest of her life.

    With that, Zhao Yao decided to break this news during breakfast. With his finger tapping on her shoulders, he asked, ¡°How is it, are there any updates on the Japanese side?¡±

    Hanako¡¯s body froze. Immediately, tears welled up in her eyes as she copsed to her knees and begged Zhao Yao for help, ¡°Boss, do not chase me away! I have no rtives or friends in China! You are the only one I can trust and depend on!¡±

    ¡°Erm, you still have your supercat.¡±

    Hanako slid a condescending re at Lightning, which was resting along the corridor. Suddenly, Lightning dashed out of his spot and came charging towards Mango. With an outburst of static, he had turned himself into a giant furball, scaring the living daylights out of Mango to a chorus of cats¡¯ughter.

    Hanako gave an exasperating sigh and muttered, ¡°My cat is a trash. If you really chase me away, the Japanese side could easily capture me with any of their apostles.¡±

    Hanako sped her palms firmly together and stared earnestly into Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes, ¡°Zhao Yao, please let me stay here a little while longer. I can help you do some household chores, provide manpower at the caf¨¦ and even take care of the cats. All these for free!¡±

    Hanako only resorted to this out of desperation. Since getting betrayed by her friend previously, there was no one she could trust in Japan. She had no idea what was going on there and could only wait patiently in China for updates.

    Coincidentally, Zhao Yao happened to be the strongest and most reliable apostle that she knew. Even though Zhao Yao was so miserly and refused to pay her even an allowance, she did receive free lodging and food from him. Celestial Beats was also sofortable!

    Zhao Yao listened to her when his right brow suddenly shot up, ¡°You said that yourself. I expect good and hard work from you. With me around, no apostle will darey a finger on you. One more thing, I¡¯m not giving you an allowance.¡±

    ¡°No, no, it¡¯s perfectly fine.¡± Hanako lowered her head and shot Zhao Yao a menacing re, ¡°This Zhao Yao is truly the stingiest and perverted individual I have ever met. Why did God give him such a magnificent power? Wouldn¡¯t it be so much better if I was the apostle instead?¡±

    Zhao Yao reported to the caf¨¦ after settling Hanako¡¯s concern and managed to find time to pay a visit to the belly.

    He was taken aback by the extraordinary growth of the cat grass. It had already grown to approximately 10 centimeters, with fresh green leaves sprouting all over it. Not only that, the leaves had a unique tint to it. It was a jade-like green. Zhao Yao knew that this was something special instantly.

    He stood next to the pot and bent right next to it and began observing this nt carefully.

    ¡°This height coupled with the rate it has grown at, does this mean that it has already fully matured? However, it takes at least a week or two for a cat grass to fully develop. I never expected it to grow so fast by illuminating it with the Light of Creation.¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin thoughtfully and muttered, ¡°But I have no idea how effective this nt is.¡±

    He immediately plucked out a few leaves to put them to the test.

    Coincidentally, Airne, Sausage, Baozi and Lion Head were just beside him as Zhao Yao ced his freshly plucked cat grass next to them and said, ¡°Hey, have a taste of this new breed of cat grass!¡±

    The four cats started encircling these pile of leaves warily. They would even take a step forward to take a few sniffs at it. Their eyes were filled with curiosity and fear.

    The leaves emanated a fresh and unique smell which instantly bought them over. Just the smell of it relieved their body of all the stress and difort.

    Lion Head was the first to sumb to the temptation. She reached out her paw for a handful of cat grass and forced it into her mouth. A peculiar sound was produced every time she took a bite of it.

    ¡°This is so delicious! It has this faint, fresh scent of nature coupled with the warmth of the sun dancing along my tongue! What kind of cat grass is this?¡±

    The other cats could no longer resist when they heard Cat Head¡¯s approval. They rushed over and forced a handful into their mouths as well. They immediately broke intoughter and cheers.

    ¡°This is so delicious!¡±

    ¡°This cat grass is really the best!¡±

    ¡°So ...¡± Just when Lion Head was in the middle of her sentence, she suddenly began retching.

    Her arms were clutched tightly to her stomach as she muttered, ¡°Who ced position in this cat grass ... rgh¡±

    Airne raised his head and struggled to speak, ¡°Lion Head, you ... rgh¡±

    ¡°Boss, are you okay ...¡± Baozi turned his head around before he himself began retching.

    Lion Head¡¯s initial retch was like a switch which triggered the remaining supercats to start retching.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyebrows were tightly knitted together as he evaluated the situation, ¡°This cat grass is meant to force the furball out of their bodies. Maybe this nt¡¯s power has also been strengthened as well?¡±

    While Zhao Yao was still pondering over the situation, the retching had already evolved into vomiting as the cats began producing an avnche of cat ball onto the ground.

    The feline species depended on their tongue to get rid of foul smell or dirt from the fur. Hence, it wasmon for them to have fur stuck in their intestines. It was important for them to cleanse the intestines of the fur periodically.

    The avnche of fur produced by the four of them turned the floor into a mess.

    Dust Ball, who was outside the belly, recognized what was happening and screamed angrily, ¡°Zhao Yao! What the hell are you doing! Why are they vomiting all over the ce!¡±

    Zhao Yao put on a confused look and replied, ¡°I have no idea! They just suddenly began to vomit! This is really weird!¡±

    Dust Ball could only grit her teeth as she made her way to the cat toilet. With her mouth stretched open, she began vomiting the fur out from her mouth.

    ¡°rgh!¡±

    ¡°rgh!¡±

    ¡°rgh!¡±

    ¡°rgh!¡±

    ¡°rgh! rgh! rgh!¡±

    With the pot of cat grass in his hands, Zhao Yao had returned to the caf¨¦. He ced it on his table and stared at it curiously, ¡°Is this nt¡¯s power so strong because of its extraordinary growth? However, the description clearly stated that it would enhance the cat¡¯s power, why did it just catalyze the vomiting process?¡±

    While Zhao Yao was still deep in thought, a nose had detected the faint fragrance emanating from the nt. Matcha¡¯s eyes beamed with happiness when he saw the pot of beautiful cat grass and took a bite.

    Zhao Yao jumped to his feet and roared, ¡°No!¡±

    However, Zhao Yao was still using Dust Ball¡¯s power when Matcha had already activated timefreeze. He stared at the pot in front of him and muttered, ¡°How can Zhao Yao hide the good stuff from me?¡±

    ¡°Hmph, this nt tastes really good.¡±

    When time resumed, the pot of cat grass was already bald after withstanding the ravages of Matcha¡¯s paw.

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and was bent on punishing Matcha. However, he was alerted to a 10 experience point gained on Matcha¡¯s page.

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    ¡°Oh, don¡¯t tell me the power that would enhance a supercat¡¯s strength is actually referring to more experience points?¡± Zhao Yao whispered to himself with a glint in his eyes.

    The thing which he craved for the most was none other than experience points.

    The demand for it only grew with the upgrading of the BOOKs and the supercats.

    However, it was somewhat sick that Zhao Yao was grinning from ear to ear as he saw Matcha vomiting non-stop. He squatted next to Matcha and gave him a gentle rub on the back of his head, ¡°Matcha, great news! From now on, you will have plenty of good food!¡±

    Initially, Matcha¡¯s torrent of vomitprised mainly of fur before it turned into undigested food. Matcha¡¯s body locked with rage as he raised his head and gave Zhao Yao a death re, ¡°Zhao Yao! How dare you put position in it? Are you trying to kill your crown prince? Bargh ...¡±

    Halfway through his speech, Matcha¡¯s body began shaking violently as another wave of vomit was expelled from his body.

    Zhao Yao let out a soft snigger before folding his arms across his chest, ¡°I already told you not to eat it. You were the one who used timefreeze and ate it. This is an enhanced cat grass which would induce instantaneous vomiting.¡± However, the bonus experience point that came along still managed to leave a smile on Zhao Yao¡¯s face. After some experimenting, Zhao Yao concluded that this could only be done once a day.

    After several rounds of vomiting, Matcha had finallye to a stop. Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief as Matcha struggled to his feet. Zhao Yao thought, ¡°I guess I cannot continue using cat grass. This vomiting is really uncontroble. Maybe I should grow some other nts instead. Hmph ... maybe I can start with catmint. Later, I¡¯ll experiment with all sorts of vegetables. Maybe, they can all give me experience points!¡±

    With his imagination running wild again, Zhao Yao dashed to the storage room and retrieved a bag of catmint seeds previously given by TaoBao. He whispered to himself, ¡°I have kept them for quite some time. I have no idea whether they still work or not.¡±

    He tore open bags of fertilizer and soil before emptying them into a pot.

    Next, he scattered the catmint seeds into cups of water for them to germinate. It would take approximately one day for the water to infuse into the seeds and supply them with sufficient hydration.

    He was still set on experimenting with all sorts of vegetables as he made his way out of the caf¨¦.

    When he returned, he was carrying bags of fertilizers coupled with pots of all various sizes. Even Zhao Yao struggled to bring all these back. He intended to grow all these vegetables which included leek, cauliflower, and broli in his extradimensional belly.

    Seeing all the pots lying neatly in front of him, an unknown excitement was bursting out of Zhao Yao. He whispered, ¡°I have no idea how this is going to pan out.¡±

    Over the next two days, Zhao Yao woke up brimming with energy as he stared excitedly at the situation within the belly. He could not wait to check on the nts¡¯ growth. However, their growth speed was far slower than the cat grass which only took one day to growpletely.

    Other than cat grass, the remaining nts only began budding from the second day onwards. It would take at least a week or two before they were fully mature.

    Obviously, Zhao Yao could not force feed his supercats with the cat grass which he had previously grown. One bite of the cat grass would be followed by an outburst of vomit. His cats would simply die if they were to actually eat it on a daily basis. Zhao Yao dared not imagine the astronomical hospital bills if he were to persist feeding them with cat grass. Hence, he had ced all his expectations on the remaining nts.

    While Zhao Yao was busy tending to his vegetables, Champion was sauntering along the track in Jiangmen University, with his eyes staring at a group of girls running around.

    His eyes naturally gravitated to the girl running at the front. She had a pair of long and slender legs which produced so much force that propelled her to the front, extending the distance between her and the rest.

    At the finishing line, the remaining girls huddled around her and broke out in cries of admiration and awe.

    ¡°Zhao Xue, you are so fast!¡±

    ¡°Senior, I¡¯m sure you can win the sports meet with this speed.¡±

    ¡°Senior, you look so cool when you were running down the track just now!¡±

    Champion was observing Zhao Xue from afar as a glint shed across his eyes.

    Initially, Champion did not find anything strange regarding Zhao Xue. However, he discovered a problem after his past two days observing her on the basketball court and the track.

    Nothing special would pop out if you observed her skills individually, be it her flexibility, agility, explosive strength or stamina. It was good but it was achievable.

    However, things started getting weird if youbined all these things into a single body, especially with things such as long distance running and short distance sprinting. The emphasis in their training was vastly different and relied upon different muscle groups. One required slow-twitch muscles while the other depended on fast-twitch muscles.

    However, this girl standing down there seemed to be indifferent to these constraints. She had reached such amazing levels in terms of her stamina, endurance, explosiveness and burst strength.

    From his past few days of observation, Champion had learned that Zhao Xue had always been remarkable, but not to this extent.

    ¡°This woman ... her body had grown so much over such a short time ...¡±

    Champion could not help but start suspecting Zhao Xue with all these unexinable happenings.

    With all evidence pointing to a dead end, Champion decided to stalk this woman in hopes that she would lead him directly to the Sphynx Cat.

    With his amazing reconnaissance and hiding skills, Champion had been lurking in the shadows as he continued following her. He observed the people she interacted with and the things which she did, but it was to no avail.

    Champion thought that it was a wasted run when Zhao Xue was about to return to her dormitory. Suddenly, he noticed Zhao Xue leaving her room as she was about to leave the schoolpound.

    ¡°Hmph, leaving the schoolpound at this hour?¡± Champion¡¯s forehead creased together as he suspected something fishy, ¡°Is she meeting her boyfriend? Or is she ...¡±

    With his amazing body, Champion managed to leap from the rooftop of one building to another. When he had reached the boundary of the school, he vaulted into the bushes and disappeared amongst the trees. He was a predator which had locked on his prey as he followed tightly behind Zhao Xue who boarded a bus.

    Champion decided to leave a message in the Muscle Society group when Zhao Xue entered a small district. He was afraid that something might happen to him.

    After sending his message, he leaped on top of another building and continued his pursuit of Zhao Xue. He noticed her walking aimlessly around the park before a man came up to her.

    Beside this man was a ck cat.

    The event which unfurled the next moment shocked Champion. The ck cat stretched open its mouth as a furless cat¡¯s paw reached out of it and pressed against Zhao Xue¡¯s forehead.

    Evidently, this was achieved by thebined effort of Dust Ball, Zhao Yao, and Elizabeth. By controlling the Sphynx Cat, Elizabeth had forced him to lend his power out to Zhao Xue through the extradimensional belly¡¯s opening.

    Because of the distance between Zhao Xue and Champion, the illusion failed to reach him which exined why he saw the true image.

    After receiving the power, Zhao Xue began training relentlessly in the park as a lopsided smile appeared on Champion¡¯s face.

    ¡°I¡¯ve finally found you.¡±

    However, he was a cautious individual. Instead of confronting her straight up, he sent a message to the group. ¡°I¡¯ve found the Sphynx Cat.¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao felt something amiss as he looked towards the buildings in the district. His instincts from ¡°Four is better than three¡± had alerted him to something wrong.

    ¡°Why do I feel that something is constantly staring at me?¡±

    <h4>Chapter 286: Those Who See Shall Die!</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Just half an hour after Champion posted that message on the group, two of his partners had also arrived at the scene. Their physique was simr to Champion, bulging muscles adorned their bodies with veins popping up all over them.

    These were two of the strongest apostles of Muscle Society, ck Robes and Tank Top.

    ck Robes was the one who appeared alongside Sphynx Cat previously during their attempt to ambush Zhao Yao. He wielded the power of teleportation.

    However, Champion grew rather uneasy despite their arrival. A frown crawled up his face as hemented, ¡°Why isn¡¯t the boss here yet?¡±

    ck Robes whipped out his phone and dialed Butcher¡¯s phone number. However, Butcher did not pick up despite their relentless calling.

    Tank Top protruded his lower lip in a sulky pout andmented, ¡°I¡¯m quite sure he¡¯s off to somewhere having some fun. The three of us can just go on without him.¡±

    Champion replied with a slight nod of his head. Individually, the three of them had already surpassed the Sphynx Cat in terms of their physical attributes. Coupled with the superpower which they wielded, theirbat strength had far surpassed that of the Sphynx Cat.

    However, Champion still cocked his head towards ck Robes before asking, ¡°What do you say? You are the only one who had actually exchanged blows with him. With thebined strength of the three of us, are you confident that we can take him down?¡±

    ck Robes closed his eyes shut as his brain processed a deluge of information,paring the disparity in strength between them and Zhao Yao.

    The three of them had physical attributes stronger than the Sphynx Cat and that was only natural since they were humans who had a far stronger foundation and potential in terms of muscle growth. Naturally, their training had produced far more efficient results than Sphynx Cat¡¯s.

    Furthermore, all of them had the power of teleportation in their hands. This had instantly turned them into a cold-blooded assassin. Even if they failed to bring Zhao Yao down, they could easily escape if they wished to.

    A moment of silence ensued before ck Robes mmed his eyes open. He spoke calmly but softly, ¡°If the three of us act together, even the strongest government apostle, Yue Shan, will not be able to stop us. I believe Butcher is the only one who stands a chance against us. This man ...¡± ck Robes shook his head, ¡°No chance.¡±

    Memories of how Sphynx Cat managed to break past Zhao Yao¡¯s defense flooded his mind as he nodded his head to it, ¡°The sess rate will be higher than 90% if the three of us struck at the same time.¡±

    ¡°I would have been happy with just 80%, let alone 90%.¡± Tank Top let out a menacingugh, ¡°So let¡¯s do it?¡±

    ¡°Do it.¡± Champion instructed.

    ck Robes cautioned them calmly, ¡°Remember to seal your ears. This guy has abined power of invisibility, force field, and teleportation. Just break his limbs the moment you grab hold of him. Do not give him any chance of retaliation.¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead creased together as he could feel the palpable animosity floating in the air as if daggers were dangling above his neck.

    He ran his fingers through his hair and whispered to himself, ¡°Who is cursing me?¡±

    His ears quivered slightly but he failed to pick up any suspicious sounds in the surroundings. His eyes drifted towards Zhao Xue but everything seemed perfectly normal.

    ¡°What the hell is happening ...¡±

    Currently, Zhao Yao had only just awakened his power of ¡°Four is better than three¡±, hence he had not fully grasped the full capability of his power. Other than his heightened five senses, he had also acquired the ability to detect animosity in the air. However, Zhao Yao did not know that.

    Within the next second, the three muscr blokes had simultaneously teleported in his face with three pairs of monstrous arms mming across his limbs, scaring the living hell out of him.

    The explosive force produced by the three blokes simultaneously was equivalent to the explosion of three bombs. The three pairs of thick arms shed through the air particles, producing a monstrous wave sweeping towards Zhao Yao. It seemed like it was about to tear his clothes to pieces.

    However, just when their arms were millimeters away from making contact with Zhao Yao, everything in the air including the air molecules, the leaves, the moonlight and even the cloud slowly came to a standstill.

    Zhao Yao had activated timefreeze!

    With the world at the standstill, Zhao Yao finally had a clear view and realized that he was already surrounded by this trio of muscr men.

    He looked in Dust Ball¡¯s direction and noticed that half her body had already disappeared as per Zhao Yao¡¯s instruction. She had been ordered to absorb herself into the belly if a crisis like this urred.

    ¡°Who is trying to ambush me?¡± Zhao Yao pinched the bridge of his nose as he took a step back from their attack. His mind began processing the avable information at warp speed. Currently, one second had already passed, leaving 11 seconds before time resumed.

    ¡°Sudden appearance, muscr bloke ...¡±Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes squinted into a line. This ambush had reminded him of Sphynx Cat¡¯s previous attack on him.

    ¡°They are members of Muscle Society? All three of them wielded teleportation and their enhanced bodies?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes swept towards Zhao Xue as he pondered, ¡°Did they follow her from Jiangmen University?¡±

    ¡°This means that I must take care of them right here and now. If not, Zhao Xue will be in danger.¡±

    9 seconds till time resumed.

    ¡°If I resorted to the use of illusion, I¡¯m sure the three of them would be able to expose it like Sphynx Cat. I would be able to dy by at most three seconds.¡±

    ¡°If I solely depended on timefreeze and deflective field, I will not be able to annihte the three of them as well.¡±

    ¡°Should I use my supercat armor?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes did a visual calction of the distance between Zhan Xue and the trio, ¡°If I used the remaining time to bring Zhao Xue into hiding before absorbing myself into the belly, I will need at least three or four seconds to put on the armor.¡±

    ¡°With their physically enhanced bodies and teleportation, they will be able to locate and kill Zhao Xue within the short time.¡±

    ¡°If I choose to use the supercat armor, I¡¯ll have to leave Zhao Xue here, leaving her exposed to the dangers of their attacks ...¡±

    Zhao Yao deliberated and gave up the thought of it. He still had seven seconds before time resumed.

    ¡°Can I just bring Zhao Xue along and escape?¡±

    ¡°No, I will definitely lose to them in a battle of speed.¡±

    ¡°Should I absorb Zhao Xue into the extradimensional belly instead? That won¡¯t work. I still have to exin to her and convince her to enter willingly. By then, they would havended a barrage of attacks on my face already!¡±

    ¡°How about using the ¡®Power Up Card¡± and deflective field to shield Zhao Xue and me? That will also fail. If the three of them had a bodyparable to Sphynx Cat, the deflective field alone will not hold up for more than a few seconds.¡±

    Ideas zoomed past Zhao Yao head before getting shot down again and again. His brain¡¯s processing speed had reached an insane speed but he just couldn¡¯te up with a solution to protect both Zhao Xue and himself, unless ...

    It was 5 seconds till time resumed.

    A tinge of hesitation shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes. Despite how much he tried, the safest n was the one he was most reluctant to use.

    ¡°Do I really have to do it?¡±

    ¡°Do I really have to stoop to this level?¡±

    Time would resume in three seconds.

    Zhao Yao roared with anger pouring through him, ¡°D*mn it! The three of you are dead!¡±

    When time resumed, the trio and Zhao Xue felt a sudden gust of wind coated in golden beams exploding around them.

    The next moment, the golden field had already encapsted Zhao Yao and Zhao Xue within it.

    Zhao Xue shielded her face using her left palm against the st of golden wind. From the gaps between her fingers, Zhao Xue could make out a huge female figure donning a cute little dress, standing in front of her.

    The woman spoke with an extremely hoarse voice, ¡°Do you guys see it.¡±

    Zhao Xue pried her eyes open and saw the three blokes trembling in fear as they stared in the woman¡¯s direction.

    The woman let out a deafening roar and shouted, ¡°Those who have seen it shall die!¡±

    <h4>Chapter 287: Trounce</h4>

    The trio stared at Zhao Yao wide-eyed as their mouths fell open.

    They had never expected an enemy to respond to their ambush in this manner. Not only did he manage to dodge the attack, he even changed into a set of female¡¯s clothing.

    However, the most perplexing question was why Zhao Yao chose to change his clothes instead of escaping or retaliating.

    The three stared at each other with a hint of fear crossing their eyes. With a quick shudder, they had already teleported and surrounded Zhao Yao and Zhao Xue in a triangle formation.

    Just when Zhao Xue was about to take a step forward, the woman in the cute dress had already swung her arms which stopped centimeters from Zhao Xue¡¯s chest. She whispered, ¡°Do not move. These three gays are really strong.¡±

    Zhao Yao had never wanted to reveal his identity to Zhao Xue. Now that he was donning this queer attire, he would resort to anything just to keep his identity a secret.

    By straining his voice and willing the golden beams and waves to encircle him, Zhao Yao did his best to conceal his identity.

    Zhao Yao stared at this woman¡¯s back view which was shrouded in golden waves darting around. Somehow, her raspy voice coupled with her mysterious appearance made her feel at ease and confident.

    Zhao Xue continued by asking, ¡°Who are they?¡±

    Zhao Yao replied coolly, ¡°These are members of Muscle Society. They are just a bunch of gays.¡± Meanwhile, he was still counting down to the cooldown for timefreeze. He still had nine more seconds to go.

    Tank Top¡¯s temples throbbed with rage when he heard Zhao Yao¡¯s derogatory remarks. He balled his palms into fists and roared, ¡°Pervert! Are you tired of living?¡±

    His body had teleported one meter away from Zhao Yao with a thunderous woosh. He cocked his arm back before exerting an earth-shattering punch flying towards Zhao Yao¡¯s direction. A st of airwave erupted from his fist which sent a ferocious wind into Zhao Yao, shredding his clothes to pieces.

    Following the devastating st produced by the punch, Zhao Yao just looked at him with an expressionless face before uttering, ¡°Get lost.¡±

    The next moment, Zhao Yao had already activated Elizabeth¡¯s power of control. Tank Top¡¯s right arm shot skyward before being intercepted by his left arm. Meanwhile, his right foot drilled into the concrete ground which caused him to lose his bnce as he rolled into a tiny garden not far away. A mass of dust flew into the sky before raining over him.

    After donning on the cat princess¡¯s cute little dress, Zhao Yao had earned the power to wield two abilities simultaneously. With timefreeze on cooldown, he had chosen Elizabeth and Ares¡¯s abilities.

    After seeing Tank Top getting dispatched by Zhao Yao so easily, Champion and ck Ropes had already teleported towards Zhao Yao and Zhao Xue, surrounding them in a pincer formation.

    They had recognized that Zhao Xue was the weaker link amongst them and decided to use her to their advantage.

    Zhao Yao only slid Champion a condescending re when he realized what they were up to. Immediately, Champion lost control of his body as he instantaneously teleported to ck Robe¡¯s position before his body mmed into his. The impact was simr to a collision between two army tanks. The grass patch which they stepped on had been desecrated by the impact.

    At this moment, Tank Top had just recovered from the initial trauma as he teleported behind Zhao Yao, only to be stopped by infinite golden beams blocking his way.

    ¡°Get lost!¡± Tank Top¡¯s barrage of punches flew across the air. They were like countless meteorites pelting at the deflective field blocking his way.

    Layers andyers of golden beams were shattered by these monstrous blows. Tank Top was literally a dragon on a rampage as he forced his way through Zhao Yao¡¯s defense by punching and wing. Nothing stood in the way of Tank Top¡¯s relentless onught.

    However, just two meters into his destruction, his body had frozen again as he lost control over it.

    On the other hand, Champion and ck Robes had just recovered from the previous exchange. Their eyes gravitated towards Zhao Yao in unison, as they bolted towards him for the next round of attack.

    Zhao Xue who stood behind Zhao Yao could only stare wide-eyed at this intense battle unfurl.

    Ferocious would be an understatement if used to describe the three monsters from Muscle Society. A single stomp or punch from them could tear the Earth apart. The gust of wind produced by their teleportation was easily as strong as a hurricane.

    If these three monsters had managed to scare Zhao Xue, this woman in the cute dress had scared the daylight out of her. She did not even move a single inch but was able to keep up with the trio¡¯s onught.

    ¡°However, things are not looking good for her. The three of them are so strong that they are simply not humans ...¡± Zhao Xue could only watch as the trio tore downyers andyers of golden beams, closing the distance between them and her. Zhao Xue could feel the cold sweat trickling down her spine and her breathing turned faster and faster.

    However, a mysterious force swept out from Zhao Yao and into their surroundings the next movement. This was the illusion which would rob individuals of their five senses.

    The attack pelted all over their bodies, leaving the three of them standing there dumbfounded with their mouths wide open.

    Zhao Yao understood that they were only temporarily affected by it. Like Sphynx Cat, they would seal their sense of hearing and would instantly be free from the illusion.

    That was the reason why he decided to keep this power until this very moment because this power was only effective against them once. However, this split second was more than enough for Zhao Yao to switch to Matcha¡¯s power.

    ¡°Matcha.¡±

    With this whisper, he had already swapped to Matcha and Ares¡¯s power.

    As expected, the trio had managed to identify the power¡¯s weakness and had sealed their ears from the sound waves, rendering the illusion futile.

    Zhao Yao watched as the three men slowly regained their consciousness before he opened his mouth and whispered, ¡°It¡¯s over.¡±

    Time hade to a standstill once again. With the ¡®Power Up Card¡¯, Zhao Yao had a total of 30 seconds in this mode.

    With everything frozen in space, Zhao Yao took a step forward, towards the trio as the golden deflective field behind him morphed into dozens of sword auras.

    Due to the ability of the costume, he could simultaneously use both the deflective field and timefreeze.

    One by one, the golden sword auras sliced through the air before jabbing into Champion¡¯s body. This process repeated again and again, at an incredible speed.

    The reflective field incorporated with the ¡®Power Up Card¡¯ was far stronger than the ordinary ones. Currently, the sword auras spanned across the entire horizon as it swept across his body like a tsunami.

    When time resumed, the three of them felt a searing pain sting through their bodies as blood spurted out of their wounds before they copsed to the ground.

    Zhao Yao walked over their quivering body and stared at them with his brows knitted together. During the timefreeze, Zhao Yao had devoted 10 seconds to each of them, giving them a taste of the golden sword auras. An ordinary person would have been turned into minced meat by this insane attack. However, this attack only managed to tear their skins and bones apart.

    ¡°This is really such a strong body, no wonder they could produce such a monstrous force just now. I believe their bones are already as tough as steel, maybe even stronger.¡±

    Zhao Xue was barely able to breathe as she cupped her mouth in shock, ¡°Are they dead?¡±

    ¡°They won¡¯t die so easily,¡± Zhao Yao assured her. He was right. Champion¡¯s body had already started recovering on its own. The muscles wriggled together to seal the wound, putting an end to the bleeding.

    Even though they were still unable to move, this would at least prevent them from dying of excessive bleeding.

    Champion struggled to raise his head as he slid Zhao Yao a death re, ¡°What was that power just now? How can you control so many abilities at one time?¡±

    Zhao Yao let out a menacingugh before he hooked his index finger which caused the trio to levitate in the air as they were enveloped by the deflective field. Zhao Yao then brought them right next to him.

    Zhao Yao bent over and whispered into their ears, ¡°I believe you enjoy quite a respectable position in the organization. Tell me where are the rest of your men.¡±

    Tank Top immediately interrupted him, ¡°Are you dreaming? We will never betray our brothers.¡±

    Zhao Yao burst outughing before pressing his palms against their ears.

    ¡°Porn Tsunami!¡±

 Chapter 288: The Interrogation

    <h4>Chapter 288: The Interrogation</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao used the same images meant to treat Baiquan¡¯s condition on Tank Top. Because his body was under Zhao Yao¡¯s control, he could not resist this influx of information flooding into his head. Instantly, his head had been filled with these all sorts of graphic images.

    However, Tank Top let out a chilling shriek which was something Zhao Yao had never expected. This scream was so scary and infectious that it instantly sent jitters down Zhao Yao¡¯s spine. It was as if Tank Top had just lost his entire family to an ident.

    ¡°What the hell is happening to him?¡± Zhao Yao stared wide-eyed at Tank Top. He could notprehend the agony he was experiencing.

    Initially, he nned to use the Porn Tsunami to wash away the side effects of Sphynx Cat¡¯s power. He would then use this a bargaining chip to elicit more information regarding their organization.

    However, from the looks of it, the results were far from what he had expected.

    Tank Top was shuddering from head to toe as his eyes shot skywards with his veins popping up all over his body, ¡°Stop this! Get rid of all these disgusting images from my head!¡± Suddenly, the shouting stopped as he took a deep breath before vomiting.

    Zhao Yao was astounded by his body¡¯s response and put an end to the Porn Tsunami. He stared at him with his forehead creased together and thought, ¡°Have their sexual orientation changed for such a long time that the Porn Tsunami has turned futile against them? Watching these normal footages would simply aggravate the pain they experienced and the disgust they felt?¡±

    While Zhao Yao was still busy considering the situation, Zhao Xue, who was behind him, had walked forward and interrupted, ¡°May I ...¡±

    Zhao Xue could no longer suppress her urge to steal a nce at the ¡®woman¡¯ as she carefully craned her neck forward. Throughout the entire battle, the ¡®woman¡¯ simply stood rooted to the ground, without moving a single inch. All Zhao Xue could see was the same back view shrouded with the golden beams.

    However, Zhao Yao reacted to her movement and tilted his body leftward by 30 degrees. With the use of the golden beams, Zhao Xue was once again staring at the same back view.

    ¡°How do I address you? Why are the three of them attacking me?¡± Zhao Xue asked this ¡®woman¡¯ with her back continually facing her. This only further piqued her curiosity to see the ¡®woman¡¯s¡¯ face.

    Zhao Yao facepalmed himself in response. He never wanted to reveal his true identity to Zhao Xue. By mustering his most feminine voice, he replied, ¡°You can just call me Guang Yu. I am also an apostle working under King George. These gays from Muscle Society have found their way here by stalking you.¡±

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°You must be careful when youe to meet King George.¡± Actually, Zhao Yao had originally nned to lend Zhao Xue the power of invisibility at the end of the training such that she would not be traced to this ce.

    After hearing his exnation, Zhao Xue continued taking a few steps forward, adamant on getting a clear view of her benefactor¡¯s face. Her eyes gleamed with admiration as she asked, ¡°Sister Guang Yu, I didn¡¯t know that you are also an apostle of King George. Can I add you on WeChat?¡±

    The previous battle had left Zhao Xue in awe of Guang Yu. Despite her soft-spoken nature, she was able to take on the three of them without breaking a single sweat. In her eyes, Guang Yu had instantly be her perfect role model. She had this uncontroble urge to remain in contact with her.

    Champion¡¯s jaw went ck when he heard Zhao Xue¡¯sment and muttered, ¡°Aren¡¯t you a man ...¡±

    Before he could evenplete his statement, Zhao Yao had sent another wave of Porn Tsunami flooding into his ears. His reaction was just like a zombie who had been exposed to daylight, screaming at the top of his lungs.

    A weight settled on his heart when Zhao Yao heard Zhao Xue¡¯s words, ¡°What¡¯s happening? What is she trying to do? Isn¡¯t Sphynx Cat¡¯s power supposed to fix her sexual orientation already?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s hands squeezed into fists as he replied even more coolly, ¡°I don¡¯t use WeChat.¡±

    ¡°In that case, can I have your phone number then?¡±

    However, Zhao Yao did not shoot down her request immediately. Instead, silence ensured. That was because Zhao Yao had noticed the golden exmation mark in the corner of his eyes.

    A new mission was reflected on his mission panel.

    Mission: Someone is hitting on you!

    Objective: Leave your contact information with your suitor.

    Reward: 10 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    ¡°This is too much!¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes continually swept towards this bothersome exmation mark and found it so irritating and annoying. He screamed in his head, ¡°Just how horny can you get? It became a mission instantly!¡±

    After a moment of deliberation, Zhao Yao did something he had never done ¨C turn down a mission. Zhao Yao shut his eyes and bit against his lips as he rejected the mission. He could feel the blood dripping from his heart.

    He replied coolly, ¡°I do not have a phone.¡± In his head, he thought, ¡°This rejection should be obvious enough.¡±

    However, Zhao Xue¡¯s reaction was beyond Zhao Yao¡¯s imagination. Instead of copsing with disappointment, a red flush crept up her face. In Zhao Xue¡¯s eyes, Guang Yu had suddenly turned even more mysterious and captivating.

    Given her unique sexual orientation, Zhao Xue had already grown numb to these rejections. A lot of them were even more heartless and crude. Zhao Yao¡¯s nonchnt replies only enhanced this mysterious aura shrouding Guang Yu¡¯s image, ¡°This woman is so cool!¡±

    ck Robes¡¯s mouth started curling into a smile after witnessing this exchange. Somehow, he had managed to understand what was happening as he uttered, ¡°The two of you ...¡±

    Zhao Yao instantly shut his mouth with a simultaneous attackprising of Porn Tsunami and Shit Wave. ck Robes could only utter that four words before he broke into tears while he vomited non-stop, ¡°Please ... please stop this!¡±

    Zhao Xue was rmed by the man¡¯s sudden pleas and stared curiously at him and asked, ¡°What happened to him?¡±

    Zhao Yao gave a roll of his eyes and answered, ¡°He must have felt ashamed for what he had done.¡± With a wave of his hand, Zhao Yao instructed, ¡°I will settle everything here. Your training will resume as per usual, bye.¡±

    As Zhao Yao¡¯sst word echoed in Zhao Xue¡¯s head, he had already brought the three of them away with the help of his deflective field.

    Zhao Xue tried to catch up to them but was simply too slow. She eximed, ¡°Wait a moment. How am I supposed to contact you?¡±

    Zhao Yao remained silent and started flying away at an even faster speed.

    Zhao Xue¡¯s eyes were beaming with admiration and infatuation. She whispered to herself, ¡°That¡¯s so cool! Of course, a girl will always be the prettiest.¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao finally stopped at a secluded rooftop with the three of them in his arms. Currently, all of them had snapped out of the illusions.

    However, they could still feel the vivid scars left behind by Zhao Yao¡¯s previous illusions.

    Champion¡¯s eye gravitated towards Zhao Yao as he pleaded with him, ¡°My ... brother, do not be rash. Actually, we are both the same.¡±

    ¡°Yes! Yes!¡± ck Robes who had only just recovered from the onught of Porn Tsunami and Shit Wave nodded his head violently. He stared at this queer man in the cute little dress and eximed, ¡°We are actually the same type of people!¡± He even winked at Zhao Yao after saying that.

    ¡°Same your ass!¡± Rage poisoned his veins when he heard such baseless usations thrown at him. Immediately, he showered the three of them with another influx of Porn Tsunami and Shit Wave. The three of them immediately copsed to the floor and vomited ceaselessly. Zhao Yao slid them a condescending re and muttered, ¡°We are not the same, okay?¡±

    His index finger then pointed at his uniform as he exined, ¡°I¡¯m wearing this so that I can grow stronger. This has nothing to do with my interests or hobbies. Do you understand?¡±

    The three blokes stared at Zhao Yao as if he were a r*tard. However, they immediately nodded their hands as they saw Zhao Yao raising his hands in the air.

    Champion instantly eximed, ¡°Yes! Yes! Yes! We are very different!¡± In his head, he was saying, ¡°This guy had definitely been affected by Sphynx Cat¡¯s ability. However, he is just not used to it at the start and is either too shy or ufortable acknowledging it. However, we should not infuriate him. We should just act along before we expose him to his true self.¡±

    Zhao Yao noticed the sneaky smile on Champion¡¯s face and knew exactly what thoughts were running through his mind. Just the thought of it caused Zhao Yao to boil with anger. However, he decided to be a greater man and not pursue the matter.

    Zhao Yao then began his interrogation, ¡°Speak. Where are the rest of the members of Muscle Society? How many people know about me?¡±

    Zhao Yao soon gathered all the information he needed because the trio regarded him as their own kind and was intimidated by the threat of the hideous Porn Tsunami.

 Chapter 289: Supercat Armor! Assemble!

    <h4>Chapter 289: Supercat Armor! Assemble!</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao had started piecing together a picture of Muscle Society from the myriad information shared by the three of them.

    This organization hade a long way from its humble beginnings with Sphynx Cat and Butcher at the helms. For the past half a year since he had awakened his power, he began searching for potential apostles to recruit before baiting them into the organization with the promise of limitless strength.

    These apostles hid under the cloaks of their usual identities. However, they began searching for new supercats and apostles to recruit into the organization secretly. Those who resisted were handed over to Butcher to handle.

    Those under Butcher were used as vessels for Sphynx Cat to lend out his power and thus strengthened its potency.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t that just kidnapping? Zhao Yao¡¯s eyebrows snapped together as he questioned them.

    Champion pinched the bridge of his nose and muttered, ¡°This is worth it. As long as we have Sphynx Cat¡¯s power, we will be able to train day and night. We would achieve strength, agility, and nimbleness that ordinary people can only dream of. We will usher in a new era where we rule. Those who were kept under control by Butcher would one daye to their senses and join us.¡±

    Zhao Yao could not believe his ears and threw his hands into the air, ¡°If that happens, mankind will be on the verge of extinction.¡±

    Originally, the organization had nned to grow its power while lurking in the shadows. They were under the impression that time was on their side.

    However, Zhao Yao¡¯s sudden appearance had dealt a blow to their perfect n. Now, the government had started poking their noses into their affairs.

    The government began to exert immense pressure on them. They began their relentless search for any intel that might potentially lead to hem. Left with no options, Muscle Society had toy low and put a pause to their grand n. Most of the apostles had returned to the headquarters, a gym in a suburban area.

    Even with theirbined strength, they were still no match for a direct confrontation against the government.

    However, Zhao Yao¡¯s biggest worry was whether information concerning him had been leaked to the government.

    Based on Champion¡¯s words, Zhao Yao¡¯s information had been sent directly to Butcher.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes squinted into a line as he thought, ¡°Is that the case?¡± Since Butcher had already learned of his existence, Zhao Yao¡¯s only shot at survival was to make the first move before Butcher made his.

    With the uncertainties concerning Muscle Scoeity all cleared, Zhao Yao¡¯s BOOK had naturally reflected the changes to his mission panel.

    Mission: Destroy Muscle Society

    Objective: Release all the supercats and apostles held against their will and capture the organization¡¯s ringleader. You have to totally annihte this organization.

    Reward: 1000 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    After collecting the necessary information, the first thing Zhao Yao did was to knock the trio unconscious before absorbing himself into the extradimensional belly.

    However, there was something even more pressing which he had to attend to. He had to get rid of the Cat Princess¡¯s dress. With a click, the dress had turned into stardust, scattered across the sky, revealing Zhao Yao¡¯s original clothes.

    This dress could onlyst for 10 minutes. Hence, it would either be destroyed at the end of the time or when the user actively deactivated it.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s purpose for returning here was to get rid of the dress and also assemble his supercat armor.

    Since his next step was to infiltrate into the heart of Muscle Society, he required all the weapons that he could possibly get his hands on.

    ¡°Supercat armor! Activate!¡±

    Following Zhao Yao¡¯s thunderous bellow, the sea of supercats simply turned around andid t against their bellies. None of them even let out a single sound.

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes before letting out another thunderous roar, ¡°Supercat armor! Activate!¡±

    Uncle Egg swung his paw dismissively in the air and struggled to open his eyes into a thin slit. He retorted, ¡°What the hell are you screaming for? Can¡¯t you see that we are sleeping? Young man, can you grow to be slightly more sensitive?¡±

    Zhao Yao was left speechless by their apathetic response, ¡°Haven¡¯t we agreed on this already? I have already told you that when I enter this ce and shout the following words, all of you wille towards me and activate your power ....¡±

    Uncle Egg soon grew impatient with Zhao Yao¡¯s verbiage, ¡°You didn¡¯t say that you were intending to do this in the middle of the night! Does that mean we have to run towards you with our tails stuck between our legs when we hear your stupidmand even when we are shitting, sleeping or even eating?¡±

    Zhao Yao let out another sigh of despair and replied, ¡°We have agreed on this. I¡¯ll give it to you if you are really shitting, but I¡¯m sure you can take a break from your food and sleep.¡± He was relieved that he did not escape into the belly and activate this stupid power when first confronted with the three blokes.

    Zhao Xue would have already died by the time he managed to convince these stubborn cats.

    ¡°These supercats are simply not dependable.¡± The supercats only decided to open their eyes following Zhao Yao¡¯s relentless roars.

    A look of annoyance was stered on Uncle Egg¡¯s face as he pounced onto Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulder and muttered, ¡°How long are we gonna y for this time?¡±

    ¡°This is not a game! We are not ying around!¡± Zhao Yao retorted with anger bursting through him, ¡°This is a battle mechanism!¡±

    ¡°Alright, alright. So how long are we ying for?¡±

    Zhao Yao mmed his palm across his face and instructed, ¡°Uncle Egg, stay on my left hand. F¨±jin, hug onto my right arm.¡±

    F¨±jin even bargained with Zhao Yao, ¡°What¡¯s the difference. I¡¯m so tired, can I just rest on top of your head?¡±

    ¡°No!¡± Rage swept over Zhao Yao as he trembled with fury, ¡°Ares, activate your deflective field and encapste all of us within it. Everyone, be in position!¡±

    ¡°Where the hell is Dust Ball? Stop sniffing your stupid catmint and get in here! Now!¡±

    Zhao Yao finally managed to get Uncle Egg, F¨±jin and Ares to cooperate with him before he left his extradimensional belly and ran back home. There, he got Roly Poly, Mango and Elizabeth toplete theirplex supercat armor.

    After all these efforts, Zhao Yao had seven supercats hanging on, crawling along and lying on his body.

    If not for Ares¡¯s deflective field encapsting all of them into a single entity, the cats would already have slipped off of Zhao Yao¡¯s body.

    ¡°Activate invisibility!¡± Zhao Yao demanded.

    Roly Poly¡¯s forehead creased together as hemented, ¡°Isn¡¯t it supposed to be invisibility mechanism activate?¡±

    Zhao Yao stared at Roly Poly with anger pouring out of his eyes, ¡°Just turn us invisible when I instructed you to do so.¡±

    With a soft whoosh, Zhao Yao and the seven supercats had vanished into thin air.

    Zhao Yao roared, ¡°Wait, I told you to turn the cats invisible, not me!¡±

    ¡°You were the one who gave unclear instructions.¡± Roly Poly muttered as he shot Zhao Yao a look of disdain before removing the power from Zhao Yao¡¯s body.

    Zhao Yao stared at the mirror as a bright smile appeared on his face. He nodded his head and whispered to himself, ¡°I think I should still cover my face. Speaking of that, where is the Naruto mask that I bought previously?¡± This was the mask Zhao Yao had bought specifically to conceal his face during his battles. It was far cooler than using a surgical mask.

    However, Zhao Yao found no trace of the mask after turning his entire apartment upside down. He began rummaging through the mess and shouted at Baiquan, ¡°Baiquan! Where is my mask? Why can¡¯t I seem to find it?¡±

    Baiquan reached his head out of the door and replied, ¡®Boss, didn¡¯t you bring it back to the caf¨¦?¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Zhao Yao suddenly recalled him bringing the mask out because of how cool it looked.

    ¡°D*mn it!¡± Zhao Yao gave up on the idea of using the Naruto mask and started searching for the surgical masks. Simrly, it was futile. He couldn¡¯t help but cursed, ¡°Where did my surgical masks disappear to?¡±

    Baiquan replied, ¡°The previous surgical masks that you bought had been kept here for so long and were simply filthy. I threw them away during thest spring cleaning.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s body locked with rage as he mmed his palm into the table, ¡°Who told you to throw away my stuff without my permission?¡±

    Baiquan raised his shoulders in a half shrug and defended himself, ¡°You were the one who told me to tidy your room and get rid of any rubbish inside it.¡±

    Zhao Yao was so furious yet could not find any words to express it. Meanwhile, Uncle Egg beganining, ¡°My back feels so sore, can we switch to another position?¡±

    ¡°Just hang in there, we¡¯ll be done soon.¡± NO matter how Zhao Yao tried, he just couldn¡¯t find anything that could possibly cover his face until he noticed a stocking lying beneath his sofa.

    Zhao Yao dragged the stocking out from the sofa and shouted, ¡°Hanako, what is your stocking doing underneath the sofa?¡±

    Hanako ran out of her room with her hair in a mess, ¡°You found my stocking? It has gone missing since the day I washed it, I bet one of the cats took it and hid it there.¡±

    A lopsided smile appeared on Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he replied, ¡°Lend me your stocking.¡±

    Hanako¡¯s face scrunched together the moment she heard Zhao Yao¡¯s absurd request. With a look of disgust, she simply waved her hands in the air and said, ¡°You can have it.¡±

    This only managed to fan Zhao Yao¡¯s anger as he retorted, ¡°What are you even thinking about? I¡¯m not intending to use this for any perverted reasons. I¡¯m just using this to hide my face.¡± Zhao Yao was powerful. With his skills, ordinary weapons stood no chance against him and his two extra lives. Neither would a sneak attack work on him.

    However, thest thing he would want was for the government to start poking their noses into his affairs. He never wanted to be on their radar.

    In his heart, he had never wished to be involved in any sorts of tussle against the government or country.

    Hence, he would use whatever he could get his hands on to conceal his identity and keep it a secret.

    Hanako mustered an amiable smile before nodding her head, ¡°It¡¯s alright, I understand. You can take it for yourself.¡±

    Momentster, Zhao Yao had finally managed to squeeze his entire head inside the stocking. He stared in the mirror and whispered to himself, ¡°I don¡¯t even think my mum can recognize me at this rate. However, I do look rather creepy.¡±

    After further deliberation, Zhao Yao decided to add one moreyer of defense by instructing Roly Poly, ¡°Roly Poly, can you help turn my head invisible as well?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s head had vanished into thin air with a swoosh. However, his body still remained rooted to his exact position and he had instantaneously morphed into a headless horseman.

    ¡°Hmph, not bad.¡± A contented smile finally found its way to Zhao Yao¡¯s face before continuing, ¡°Roly Poly, from now on, always remember to turn my head invisible regardless of what battle formation we are using. This is called the headless horseman form.¡±

    Roly Poly nodded his head but secretly slid a condescending re at Zhao Yao.

    Momentster, Zhao Yao had levitated out of his windows, with him and his seven supercats encapsted within the deflective field.

    With the ¡®Power Up Card¡¯, the reach of the deflective field had been extended to five meters.

    Hence, Zhao Yao could levitate off the ground at a height of five meters or float between buildings at a distance of five meters because of this effect.

    To put it in a more descriptive term, it was like having an invisible pair of hand wing at the wall, dragging them forward.

    The reason why he couldn¡¯t fly like the sword auras could be exined using the same theory as for why we can¡¯t use our own hands to pick our bodies off the floor. Naturally, Ares could not utilize his defective field to pick himself off the ground and hence could only levitate by pushing against walls or floor.

    However, Zhao Yao was already traveling at an astounding speed at this rate.

    By turning himself invisible, Zhao Yao made a beeline straight to the rooftop, before picking up the three unconscious blokes and returned to ground level. With their bodies totally invisible, they made a dash for the headquarters.

    ....

    This was the headquarters ¨C the gym in the suburban area.

    Zhao Yao was perched on a rooftop not far away as he began observing this gym. He pressed his hands against the blokes¡¯ ears before awakening them with another flood of Porn Tsunami.

    The three of them woke up instantly while letting out an ear-splitting shriek. They opened their eyes to see Zhao Yao pointing his finger towards a small building in the vicinity, ¡°How is it? Is that the building?¡±

    The three of them could only nod their heads nervously.

    Based on their intel, the boss of the organization, Butcher, spent most of his time on the third level. Meanwhile, the supercats and apostles taken against their will were kept in an underground room.

    Champion tried to convince Zhao Yao, ¡°What¡¯s the point of making us your enemy? Butcher is far stronger than us in terms of physical attributes andbat prowess. He is the only one withplete knowledge of all supercats and superpowers in this world. God knows what kind of power he has hidden from us. Why do you want to take this risk?

    Actually, you don¡¯t have to feel embarrassed at all. As long as you join us and be a part of Muscle Society, conquering and ruling the entire Jiangmen City would be as simple as one, two, three.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s gaze remained glued to this small building as he let out a faintughter, ¡°You are thinking too much. If I use my true strength, I could get rid of those bunch of idiots in less than a minute.¡±

    Champion stared hesitantly at this strange man and asked, ¡°Does this stocking make you even stronger than when you wore the cute little dress?¡±

    ¡°Roly Poly!¡± Zhao Yao burst out screaming, ¡°Haven¡¯t I told you to conceal my head at all times? What the hell are you doing?¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s head sank into his chest as he stared pitifully at Zhao Yao, ¡°I forgot. You know that cats have the worst memories.¡±

    ¡°Then, what are you waiting for? Faster cast your power on me!¡±

    Champion¡¯s eyes were glued to this mysterious man when his head suddenly disappeared as he transformed into a headless horseman. In his head, he was thinking, ¡°He can increase his power by simply changing his clothes? The world of superpower is a vast and diverse one. There are many things that I have yet to learn.¡±

    The next moment, Zhao Yao had already taken a step forward as his body slowly descended to ground level. Hended at this patch of grass before turning his body invisible again.

    Suddenly, the deflective field produced an earthshaking force which crashed into the ground. The impact propelled Zhao Yao towards the gym as if he were an arrow.

    At the instant when the force field made contact with the ground, Butcher who remained fast asleep on the third floor had instantly opened his eyes, before jumping out of the bed.

    After breaking through threeyers of wall, Zhao Yao found himself in the middle of the gym. He threw Mango to the floor and shouted, ¡°Unleash the roar of hell!¡±

    ¡°Everyone, hide!¡±

    Immediately, Zhao Yao charged through another twoyers of concrete wall. Meanwhile, the muscr blokes inside the gym still had no idea what was going on.

    Zhao Yao tore past thest wall and literally created a tunnel through the gym. He finally stopped before turning his head around. He stared at Mango through the hole he created and roared, ¡°Activate the roar of hell!¡±

    With Elizabeth¡¯s soft purr, Mango who was originally still lost and clueless suddenly scrunched his face together, with his brows tightly knitted. Fury blinded him as Mango let out a shrieking meow.

    Mango was struck by an immense urge to shit but could not find a single toilet. This intense sensation swept across the gym with Mango¡¯s body as the epicenter. Instantly, the entire gym had been encapsted in Mango¡¯s pain.

    Piack! Piack! Bam! It was as if someone had set off a series of firecrackers within the gym as a wave of screams and stench permeated from the gym. Within a split second, the gym had turned into a living hell.

    Because of their superior body qualities, Zhao Yao waited for at least half an hour before he dared to set foot inside the ce. He was greeted by bloody and vile scene.

    Zhao Yao stared at the muscr blokes lying in puddles of blood. There were all sorts of red and yellow stains spattered across the walls, evidence of the previous catastrophe. Zhao Yao¡¯s brows knitted together as he whispered, ¡°Shit with a hint of blood? They must have experienced a nerve-wracking pain before they fainted.¡±

    In his head, Roly Poly was screaming, ¡°You don¡¯t say? Stupid!¡± In reality, he showered Zhao Yao withpliments, ¡°Zhao Yao, what you said makes so much sense!¡±

    After checking on their conditions, Zhao Yao took back the roar of hell from the first level. Simr to his previous tries, Mango himself was unaffected by it and seemed to have forgotten the unimaginable pain he experienced.

    Zhao Yao carefully made his way up the staircase. It was like walking through hell. Everyone had copsed to the ground with some of their lower bodies drenched in blood. Some were in a tussle while other still had toilet paper stuck in their hands.

    Some of their eyes were devoid of expression while others had drool trickling down the corner of their lips. When they saw Zhao Yao, they began running around like a lunatic and screamed, ¡°I didn¡¯t shit! I didn¡¯t shit!¡± Hahaha! They ran around with their butt naked.

    Seven blokes were huddled over a tiny toilet that was in shambles. Evidently, they had done whatever they could to get a spot on this coveted toilet bowl which resulted in this destruction. In the end, none of them seeded.

    These scenes of terror simply highlighted the devastation they had experienced.

    Zhao Yao pinched his nose as he made his way through the mess, all the way to Butcher¡¯s room before slowly pushing the door open.

    Before Zhao Yao even managed to fully open the door, an intense stench had already poured out of the room and went straight into his nostrils, debilitating his sense of smell.

    However, what shocked him more was the scene which greeted him.

    Behind the pair of huge doors was a gigantic bedroom filled with all sorts of training equipment. There was a huge man, the size of a tiny hill sitting in the middle of the room with his face scrunched together.

    However, that wasn¡¯t what shocked Zhao Yao. It was the thing beneath him. Puddles of shit and blood surrounded him but he still managed to sit so calmly. It was as if he could neither see nor smell the shit surrounding him.

    His upper body was extremely rigid and straight as he stared at Zhao Yao with an expression full of tranquility.

    This entire scene was simply absurd. It was as good as seeing God in the depths of hell. The epitome of holiness and filth had simultaneously appeared in the same frame.

    Zhao Yao shook his head violently in a futile attempt to get rid of the images in his head. With his face all scrunched together, he looked at Bucher and asked, ¡°What are you doing?¡± At the same time, he was shocked beyond words by how he managed to remain conscious and even seemed capable of moving around.

    ¡°Are you shocked by this?¡± Butcher asked as his eyes stared at the empty door in front of him. Currently, Zhao Yao was still invisible but Butcher had already identified his position by means of echolocation.

    Butcher slowly opened his mouth and exined, ¡°This technique of yours is truly disgusting. However, it is nothing as long as you can keep your mind away from it. As the strongest apostle, I can even shit and fight simultaneously.¡±

    Butcher than slowly got to his feet as his feet remained entrenched within the pool of red and yellow shit. He stared at Zhao Yao with a nonchnt expression.

    ¡°What the hell? When did the criterion for being a strong apostle turn to this?¡± Zhao Yao was getting increasingly flustered as he eximed, ¡°Don¡¯te near me! I¡¯m warning you! If not, I¡¯m just gonna make this worse!¡±

    ¡°If you wish to be the best, you must not be affected by others¡¯ perceptions and beliefs. Look at me, once I¡¯ve broken free from these judgmental eyes, you are the only one who is affected now.¡± Butcher lifted his shoulders in a half shrug before approaching Zhao Yao, ¡°Oh yes, have my brothers all copsed downstairs?¡±

    He shook his head and let out a sigh of despair, ¡°Hmph, I have already reminded them to devote more time to training. If only they could squat, bench, deadlift 1000 times every single day and eat three eggs, they would not find themselves in this sorry state.¡±

    Zhao Yao stared at Butcher who seemedpletely unaffected by the attack. Zhao Yao¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Initially, he had already held their physical attributes in high regards but he had never expected Butcher to be able to withstand half an hour worth of this torture.

    However, that does not mean that Mango¡¯s power was futile against Butcher. Perhaps, he could endure 30 minutes of it, but the results would be radically different if the time increased to 40minutes, 50 minutes or even an hour.

    Roly Poly who was perched on Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulder stared at Butcher with a solemn expression. He thought, ¡°What a strong apostle. Even Mango¡¯s ability failed to bring him down.¡±

    Butcher could help but took a nce at his butt and thought, ¡°I never expected the Kegel exercise to be so effective.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s enough!¡± Elizabeth who sat on Zhao Yao¡¯s arm had enough of this nonsense. Actually, she was sick of it the moment Zhao Yao stepped into the gym. However, Butcher¡¯s reaction was the straw that snapped her. A red glimmer shed across her eyes as she took control of Butcher.

    Suddenly, his body froze before copsing into the puddle of shit. His head began to smash against the concrete floor ceaselessly.

    However, the moment Butcher¡¯s head made contact with the floor, another Butcher suddenly appeared behind Zhao Yao, with his hand wrapped around Zhao Yao¡¯s neck.

    Actually, Butcher did not use the same powers as Champion and the rest. Instead, he borrowed the power of doppelganger.

    It was close to impossible to identify the doppelganger. It would only vanish into thin air after sustaining significant damages.

    Meanwhile, the real Butcher had been hiding in the shadows all this time. He was like a predator lurking in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to pounce on his prey.

    With ¡®Four is better than three¡¯, Zhao Yao had already detected his presence long ago. He just could not pinpoint his exact location.

    So while Butcher was trying to unearth Zhao Yao¡¯s weakness through the conversations, Zhao Yao was also doing the exact same thing to him.

    Even though Zhao Yao failed to turn his body around in time, Zhao Yao had another trick up his sleeve.

    The golden deflective field erupted from Zhao Yao¡¯s body which turned intoyers andyers of shield separating Butcher from himself.

    The deflective field enhanced with the ¡®Power Up Card¡¯ could withstand gunshots, and even Sphynx Cat¡¯s attack but could not hold out against Butcher¡¯s punch.

    Zhao Yao literally saw his shields crumbling before his eyes before a jolt of electricity emerged from his right hand and mmed directly onto Butcher¡¯s chest.

    Bam! The monstrous force exploded from Butcher¡¯s fist. This unimaginable explosion was all concentrated at a single point. The air particles surrounding it were distorted by the impact which tore the ceiling apart, giving them a decent view of the night sky.

    As the dust settled into the ground, Butcher was lying on the ground with his body shaking violently. His punch had failed to hit Zhao Yao.

    Despite how strong he had be, his basic body structure remained the same. His nerves, organs and especially his heart could not withstand such potent electric shock.

    Uncle Egg¡¯s attack not only caused him to miss hisst punch, it also robbed him of the ability to move around.

    This was the power of superpower. Regardless of how strong you were, you could still be taken down instantly when your weakness was exposed.

    Obviously, Uncle Egg¡¯s attack was only sessful with the help of the deflective field and Roly Poly¡¯s invisibility. If not, he would have been squashed by Butcher if he went up against him alone.

    Zhao Yao noticed Butcher struggling to get on his feet and instantly charged forward and mmed a few punches on him, ¡°Electric shock mechanism activate! 100,000 volts!¡±

    Butcher¡¯s body instantly froze from the attack as his hair stood on ends. Zhao Yao only stopped when he peed his pants.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s lips curled into a smile when he realized that he had finallypleted the mission.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes drifted between Butcher and his own right fist as he muttered, ¡°My Chidori is getting strong and stronger!¡±

    After settling Butcher, Zhao Yao was on the verge of leaving when he heard some rustlinging from the bed.

    This brought his attention to this gigantic pink bed sitting in the middle of the room. He had not noticed this because of his fight against Butcher. When he swept his eyes across, he noticed a ck figure struggling to crawl out of it.

    ¡°Help ... help me!¡±

    A ck man was stuck on the bed with his wrist chained to the bed frame. Zhao Yao looked at him and thought, ¡°This guy ... looks somewhat familiar.¡±

    The ck man struggled to speak, ¡°I¡¯m a policeman ... an undercover ... quick, help me.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s right eyebrow shot up and recalled, ¡°Oh, this was the apostle I met back at the zoo!¡±

 Chapter 292: Respite

    <h4>Chapter 292: Respite</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    This ck man who was chained to the bed frame was the one who tried capturing the Serval by using F¨±jin¡¯s power. This was not the first time he had met Zhao Yao. However, Zhao Yao had never expected him to be recruited by Inspector Ho and even serve as an undercover for him.

    The worst thing was he got exposed by Butcher three days after joining the organization. Since then, Butcher had kept him as a personal ve in his bedroom.

    ¡°Hmph, I guess he only got chosen for this job because of his physique. From the looks of it, he must have had a tough time here.¡± Zhao Yao stared at him pitifully before shaking his head, ¡°I¡¯m sure he must have done something stupid which was why he got sent to this nasty job.¡±

    Suddenly, memories of their encounter flooded Zhao Yao¡¯s mind. He recalled that this man loved to run around the zoo naked and found it a good justification for his appointment in Muscle Society.

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao detected a faint sound behind him and immediately swept his body around to see Butcher with his eyes wide open. His fingers were trembling violently as he struggled to get on his feet.

    Butch was truly one of a kind. Despite getting inundated by Uncle Egg¡¯s electric shocks, he still managed to regain consciousness so quickly.

    Zhao Yao bolted forward and mmed his palm across his neck. Just when Butcher was about to be knocked out, Zhao Yao¡¯s palm stopped millimeters away from his neck. Only one thing could have stooped Zhao Yao ¨C the golden exmation mark.

    A smile tugged at Zhao Yao¡¯s lips as he pressed his ears against Butcher¡¯s mouth, ¡°What is it? Is there something that you would like to tell me?¡± Currently, he had already earned 1000*2 experience points for defeating him. However, that wasn¡¯t enough. Zhao Yao was going to squeeze Butcher dry.

    Butcher could feel a pair of eyes sweeping across his body. This pair of eyes was vicious and vile. Butcher could feel the shiver running down his spine and the cold sweat forming on his forehead. However, the person had finally stopped electrocuting him. Butcher struggled with all his might and pleaded, ¡°Please let me go. I¡¯ll give you whatever you want.¡±

    Mission: Spare his life.

    Objective: Spare Butcher¡¯s life.

    Reward: 100 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    Zhao Yao suppressed hisughter and muttered, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll let you off this time around.¡±

    Butcher could hear the footsteps growing fainter, but he was not satisfied. He shook his head violently and yelled, ¡°You must show yourself. I need to watch you leave with my own eyes.¡±

    ¡°Alright,¡± Zhao Yao did not hesitate to agree as hemanded telepathically, ¡°Shut down invisibility.¡±

    Instantly, Zhao Yao had appeared in front of Butcher¡¯s eyes as he ambled towards the windows.

    Butcher opened his eyes to the sight of a man with his head squeezed inside a stocking. His heart sank with disappointment as he said to himself, ¡°How could I have possibly lost to a pervert in a stocking?¡±

    The ck man who saw Zhao Yao¡¯s true form was shocked beyond words. He immediately reacted to the situation and screamed, ¡°No, do not let this man go! He is a vicious, psychopathic criminal! Get the police to catch him! If not, thousands of innocents would fall prey to him!¡±

    Zhao Yao did not care about the innocents that would possibly suffer in Butcher¡¯s hands, he was only interested in the golden exmation mark floating on top of the ck man. He understood what he wanted and hence did not rush to ept the mission. He just left the room, bursting inughers. He realized that today was going to be a great day.

    However, he suddenly realized what the puzzled expression on Butcher and the ck man meant. He took a nce at his reflection and roared mightily, ¡°Roly Poly! What the hell are you doing? Why is my head revealed again?¡±

    Roly Poly was still busy thinking about Mango. All these while, he knew that Mango had a unique power but he only witnessed his true strength during Zhao Yao¡¯s assault on Muscle Society.

    ¡°Mango annihted Muscle Society in an instant.¡± A line was etched between Roly Poly¡¯s brows as he pondered, ¡°If I am able to recruit Mango, a mighty general, into my team, this will act as a deterrent for anyone who intends to steal the throne from me. I will enjoy a far more respectable position and status in cat nation. Even if Zhao Yao neglects me, I, Roly Poly will be a force to be reckoned with.¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s eyes gravitated towards Mango who was busy grooming himself mindlessly. Roly Poly¡¯s forehead furrowed at this sight as he muttered, ¡°It will be a challengemunicating with this guy. I need to find a breakthrough.¡±

    While he was engrossed in all these silly thoughts, Zhao Yao had instructed him to deactivate his power before scolding him for revealing his head.

    Roly Poly responded with a shrug of his shoulders andmented, ¡°You were the one who told me to deactivate my power. How am I supposed to know that you want your head hidden?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve repeated 10,000 times to you! Turn my head invisible regardless of the situation! Always turn my head invisible!¡± Zhao Yao simmered with rage as heforted himself, ¡°If not for my wits, my face would have been exposed to these two creeps!¡±

    ¡°Oh, Zhao Yao, you are so smart!¡± Roly Poly replied scornfully before doing as told.

    In Butcher¡¯s eyes, Zhao Yao suddenly turned into a headless horseman before disappearing through the windows. It seemed like he had left.

    Butcher struggled to crawl towards the door. Zhao Yao¡¯sst attack was simply too fatal. He could barely even walk and had to resort to moving on all fours.

    The ck man tried to stop Butcher but was as frail as a lily and could barely move an inch. He could only scream with all his might, ¡°Butcher! You are not getting away!¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao hadnded on the ground floor as he mmed his face into his hands, ¡°D*mn it, I forgot about the hostages during the roar of hell.¡±

    He still remembered that Champion had informed him about the hostages kept on the basement level.

    Zhao Yao made a dash for the basement and stood behind the door. With a swing of his arm, he had torn open the door to the room as his eyes scanned the ce before mming the door shut.

    Zhao Yao was quivering with indignation when footages of the room flooded his mind, ¡°They are simply not humans. How can they treat them like ves? I cannot let Butcher go off so easily. They are in a bad shape but they are still alive.¡±

    Other than Mango, the remaining six supercats cursed in unison, ¡°Scumbag!¡±

    After ensuring the hostages¡¯ safety, Zhao Yao once again turned invisible and went straight for Butcher. However, his mission to release Butcher remained iplete.

    Zhao Yao pinch the bridge of his nose and pondered, ¡°Hmph, am I still too near to him?¡± He floated upstairs and observed Butcher struggling to escape. Until now, he had not even made his way out of the building.

    Zhao Yao let out a long sigh before he decided to control a random civilian to contact the police. This would allow the government apostles to clean up this mess and rescue the hostages.

    Finally, Butcher had made his way out of the building. Zhao Yao bolted back to his room and scrolled through the contents on his phone. Zhao Yao breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that Butcher had not read the message Champion sent him. This meant that only the three idiots knew about Zhao Xue¡¯s existence. In that case, he had no problems handing Butcher over to the government.

    He sauntered towards the ck man and stared curiously at the golden exmation mark, ¡°Do you want to take revenge on Butcher?¡±

    ¡°Who is it?¡± The ck man swept his head around nervously as he stared at the empty room in front of him. He almost peed his pants.

    ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± Zhao Yao assured him.

    The ck man finally reacted to the situation and answered, ¡°The man in stockings?¡±

    Zhao Yao pped Roly Poly on his cheeks and answered coolly, ¡°Shut your trap. Do you want revenge on Butcher?¡±

    Instantly, Zhao Yao had received a new mission.

    Mission: Nip the problem in the bud

    Objective: Capture Butcher.

    Reward: 100 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    Two minutester, Butcher could finally take a breather at the foot of a tree. Suddenly, two men descended from the sky, appearing right in front of him.

    ¡°You!¡±

    Just when Butcher was about to open his mouth, Zhao Yao had already pped his mouth shut. Zhao Yao tapped the ck man on his shoulder and told him, ¡°I have already contacted the police. Just stay here and wait for them ...¡±

    The ck man shouted, ¡°Who are you?¡±

    ¡± Lei Feng 1 .¡±

    With the two missions in his bag, Zhao Yao returned to the trio with 400 experience points.

    Muscle Society had beenpletely dismantled. Now, his only concern was the three of them. Zhao Yao had to be careful since they knew about Zhao Xue¡¯s existence.

    Champion¡¯s eyes quivered with fear when he saw Zhao Yao¡¯s body materializing in front of him, ¡°What have you done?¡± He had heard the ear-splitting shrieksing from the gym¡¯s direction. He dared not imagine what they had gone through.

    Zhao Yao smiled but did not reply. He simply stretched open his mouth and vomited three ragdolls out.

    ¡°Catherine, Diana, Caesar, wipe away their memories for the past 24 hours.¡±

    With the end of Muscle Society, Zhao Yao had returned to his usual mundane life. He would spend his time running between the caf¨¦¡¯s daily operations and settling some errands inside the extradimensional belly. It was a simple yet fun time.

    At the end of the month, Matcha sneakily entered the cat toilet.

    ¡°Hmph, today will be the day I am crowned as the star cat for the caf¨¦! As long as I retain my title, I¡¯ll be able to enter the belly and meet Diana. Then, I would finally propose to her!¡±

    ¡°Meowhaha, if she gives birth to a male cat, I¡¯ll name him MaTigreal. If it¡¯s a female cat, she¡¯ll be MaFreya.¡±

    Both names were extremelyme. It was simply abination of Matcha¡¯s name with his favorite Mobile Legends character. However, just the thought of it caused him to beam from ear to ear. He was already on cloud nine.

    If Zhao Yao were around, he would definitely remind Matcha how unrealistic his n was. Firstly, he had to win thepetition. Secondly and more importantly, why would Diana even marry him?

    Matcha swept his eyes furtively around to check if anyone was looking at him. With no prying eyes observing him, Matcha instantly activated timefreeze. A sly smile was stered on his face as he stopped right in front of an automatic self-cleaning litter box. He reached his arm into the litter box and was digging for something.

    His paw made contact with a clump of soft objects which instantaneously sent jitters down his spine. His forehead creased together as agony shed across his eyes.

    ¡°Matcha, you must hang in there. Diana will be yours as long as you win thepetition.¡±

    Matcha bit his lips and continued fishing his paws through the litter box. Finally, he removed his paw from it and saw his entire paw coated in a ck grime. He inched his nose towards his paws and broke out into a shriek as he threw his paw away.

    Despite the unbearable stench, Matcha began cackling, ¡°I will definitely be the crowned as the star cat!¡±

    His eyes swept across the cat toilet furtively again. After ensuring that the coast was clear, he activated timefreeze before making his way back to the middle of the caf¨¦. He was walking on three paws, saving his ck and grimy paw for something special.

    Matcha¡¯s eyes darted towards Elizabeth who he regarded as the most popr cat in the caf¨¦. Currently, Elizabeth was surrounded by a huddle of girls. Matcha slid Elizabeth a sly grin as he whispered to himself, ¡°Elizabeth is definitely my strongestpetition for this contest. If I can get rid of her, my chances of winning will be as high as 90%!¡±

    Time froze once again.

    When time resumed, the girls surrounding Elizabeth burst out screaming in fear.

    Coco Sun, who adored cosy, donned on a traditional Chinese dress. As the intense stench radiated from Elizabeth, her face instantly turned green as she screamed, ¡°What¡¯s that smell? Who shat on their pants?¡±

    One of the girls pointed her finger at Elizabeth and shouted, ¡°Look! There is shit smeared all over Elizabeth¡¯s butt!¡±

    Matcha, who was hiding at the corner of the caf¨¦, burst outughing at this scene. He was busy apuding himself for this perfect n as he thought, ¡°Hmph, what¡¯s the use of looking so cute when you have shit smeared all over your ass? Who will even like you?¡±

    Because of Matcha¡¯s action, Elizabeth¡¯s poprity for the day plummeted. Seeing Elizabeth lying alone in the caf¨¦, without any of her fans, sent Matcha jumping with joy. He could not wait for the results of the night¡¯s star catpetition.

    Once they returned home, Hanako sat on the chair and began tallying the votes for this widely-anticipatedpetition. A smug smile reflected off Matcha¡¯s face as he eagerly awaited the results.

    He took a look at his reflection as he seductively licked his snow-white paws, before running his saliva-stained paw through his fur. He even hummed his favorite song while looking at his handsome reflection, ¡°Why do birds suddenly appear ... Every time, I am near ... Just like you, they long to be ... close to me.¡±

    Finally, it was the moment Matcha had been waiting for. Hanako stood from her seat and announced, ¡°After rounds of tallying, the winner goes to Elizabeth!¡±

    ¡°What!¡± Matcha sprang down from the table, fuming with anger. He ran towards Hanako¡¯s feet and demanded, ¡°How is that possible? How can a cat with shit smeared on her butt get first? Conspiracy! There must be some sort of conspiracy!¡±

    Zhao Yao who was busy having his dinner simply threw Matcha off the dining table andined, ¡°Shut up, you¡¯re affecting my dinner.¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao!¡± Matcha put on his most pitiful face as he pounced onto Zhao Yao¡¯s calf. He screamed, ¡°There must be a conspiracy! Someone had stolen my title!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyebrows shot upward as he sneered, ¡°You only won the firstpetition because you took part in my splendid performance. Because of the renovation, thepetition for the second month was postponed. It¡¯s natural for Elizabeth to win thepetition for this month.¡±

    ¡°Why? Matcha screamed.

    Zhao Yao just blurted whatever came to his mind, ¡°She¡¯s the only ragdoll in the entire caf¨¦, that¡¯s why.¡±

    Matcha could not believe his ears andmented, ¡°Just because she is a ragdoll? But I am a Jiangmen Fold! I can¡¯t evenpare to a cat with shit on her fur?¡±

    Zhao Yao replied with a nod of his head.

    ¡°No!¡± Matcha copsed to the ground and protested, ¡°I do not concur! How can she win solely based on her bloodline? I must defy the odds! My destiny is in my hands! I shall prevail!¡±

    Roly Poly, who was resting in the corner of the living room, observed this pathetic scene and sniggered secretly, ¡°This silly cat. Does he actually think that he stands a chance against me?¡±

    He slid Matcha a condescending re before fixing his attention on his real mission. His eyes swept towards Mango as he eximed, ¡°Mango, Mango! It¡¯s time for dinner! Come here for dinner!¡±

    Mango blinked his eyes adorably before racing toward Roly Poly.

    Roly Poly was bursting with excitement when he saw Mango running towards him. He retrieved a cat snack from his stash and threw it in front of Mango. Mango instantly devoured it happily.

    ¡°Sess! Finally, Mango has reacted to my calls!¡± After days of training, Mango seemed to be able to recognize his own name.

    Roly Poly¡¯s eyes gravitated towards his phone screen as he read, ¡°Remember to call your cat¡¯s name before feeding it. This will teach your cat to recognize its own name. Hmph, I have done this already!¡± His paws swept upwards as he continued reading.

    ¡°When your cat responds to your calling, you must reciprocate with food as a reward. You can give it a gentle massage on its spine. Continue feeding it while calling its name. This would allow your cat to connect its name to the food. If your cat does not struggle when you touch it, this means that your cat has already acknowledged you ...¡±

    After reading the paragraph, Roly Poly instantly put his learning into action. He screamed for Mango as he threw another handful of cat snacks onto the floor.

    While Mango was busy wiping the food off the floor, Roly Poly made use of the opportunity to give Mango a massage.

    ¡°That¡¯s great, Mango did not run away!¡± Roly Poly was engrossed in his daydreams as his paw continued running across Mango¡¯s fur, ¡°This is great! The information on the inte is so useful! As long as I persevere, I¡¯ll be able to add this invincible general to my side.¡±

    While Roly Poly was busy daydreaming, his nails identally scratched against Mango¡¯s skin which caused him to turn around and run away.

    ¡°This stupid cat.¡± Roly Poly muttered as he pounded angrily on his chest before continuing his research.

    ¡°Never hit your cat if your cat ever bites you. You can scream to let it know that it hurts.¡±

    ¡°D*mn it, who wrote this stupid instruction!¡± Roly Poly tried his best to suppress his anger and thought, ¡°I guess there¡¯s still a long way to go before I¡¯m done with Mango.¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao immediately copsed on the couch after finishing his dinner. Today was the end of the month, which meant that it was time for him to reap the harvest of his missions.

 Chapter 294: Legendary Cat Rice

    <h4>Chapter 294: Legendary Cat Rice</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Since destroying Muscle Society, Zhao Yao spent the majority of his timespleting missions and managing his caf¨¦. The experience points earned was remarkable. However, he was left with three diamonds after spending five on the cute dress, and two on two ¡®Power Up Cards¡¯.

    In order to save diamonds for rainy days, Zhao Yao did not use the ¡®X2 Exp Card¡¯ on the subsequent days. Hence, the experience growth was significantly slower than before.

    Despite it, his current BOOK had already reached lv5 (4278/10000).

    The experience points for his supercats were as follows:

    Matcha lv5(320/5000)

    Elizabeth lv5(320/5000)

    Dust Ball lv6(80/10000)

    Ares lv4(390/2000)

    Lucifer lv4(250/2000)

    A contented smile crept on to Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he nodded his head happily, ¡°Not bad, not bad at all. I¡¯ll be able to upgrade both Ares and Lucifer without even including the experience points from the monthly mission. If I include it, I can even upgrade Matcha.¡±

    After looking through the status of his BOOK, Zhao Yao could onlyy on his couch as he waited for the clock to strike 12. In the meantime, he decided to take a look at the situation inside the belly, especially how his vegetables were doing.

    He was greeted by the amazing scene of pots with nts that had already begun to sprout. Under the warm and fuzzy glow created by the Light of Creation, the nts had produced tiny green leaves. They seemed so healthy and full of life.

    ¡°They¡¯ve finally grown!¡± Zhao Yao eye¡¯s sparkled with excitement. Zhao Yao propped his chin on his hand and started thinking hard. From the looks of it, nts such as catmint, leek, and cabbage took at least one week to begin sprouting. Surrounding the pot of catmint were Airne, Uncle Egg and a few other supercats whoid on the floor with saliva trickling down their chins. Their paws were still grabbing tightly onto a handful of catmint. Evidently, the catmint grown was exceptionally potent and delicious.

    ¡°Time to put them to the test!¡±

    Zhao Yao then fed Matcha, Elizabeth, Dust Ball, Lucifer, and Ares a basket of all the different vegetables. He discovered that the experience earned for each vegetable was different. All of them gave at least five experience points. However, catmint gave 10 experience points which were the same as cat grass.

    Simrly, the experience points earned were capped no matter how many times they ate in a single day.

    Luckily, the rest of the vegetables did not produce the same side effects as cat grass.

    ¡°Hmph, I guess this makes catmint the most efficient vegetable.¡± Zhao Yao stared at the handful of catmint in his palm and thought, ¡°If I feed Matcha and the rest with catmint every day, this will be a new method for me to earn additional experience.¡±

    He took a nce at the supercats who were still immersed in the drugging effects of the catmint and started cackling, ¡°I think this should be called super catmint.¡±

    Matcha plucked a single strand of catmint and stared at it, ¡°Oh, Diana! When will I ever meet you again? I guess I can only numb myself with this catmint then!¡±

    Dust Ball was way more excited. She plucked a handful of catmint before licking violently across it She began screaming in her head, ¡°How can such a delicious catmint exist in this world? Aspared to this, the past catmints are utter rubbish!¡±

    At this moment, Baiquan emerged from the kitchen with bowls all over his arms. He announced, ¡°It¡¯s time for dinner! I even prepared supper!¡±

    The cats who were uninterested in the catmint bolted towards Baiquan like a bullet and began waiting excitedly at their usual spots.

    However, there was one exception. Rice Cake remained rooted to her seat with her eyes glued to the screen. She did not even turn her head as she stretched open her mouth and screamed. Following her scream, the air molecules started vibrating before they reached a resonance which projected a crisp and clear voice into the surroundings, ¡°Bring ... bring me ... the rice...¡±

    Baiquan could not help but giggle at this scene. He brought Rice Cake¡¯s bowl right to her and advised, ¡°Rice Cake, it¡¯s not advisable to eat and y at the same time.¡±

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao who was observing this scene came to his feet, with a glint in his eyes. He whispered to himself, ¡°Speaking of which, it has been a long time since Ist upgraded my cat rice.¡±

    Since the introduction of the new American pet food regtions, Zhao Yao could only produce Michelin-starred cat rice with the ingredients allowed. He had never upgraded his cat rice since then.

    However, he did put in the effort to try improving the cat rice through all sorts of experimentation. He used premier ingredients such as Kobe beef, caviar, and even white truffle. He also tried the scientific way by incorporating vitamins and supplements into his cat rice but it was to no avail.

    His eyes darted from the catmint in his hand into the pot of Michelin-starred cat rice. His eyes sparkled with excitement as he thought, ¡°Will I be able to upgrade the cat rice if I use this catmint as one of the ingredients?¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately put his thoughts into action as he prepared another batch of cat rice with the catmint incorporated inside.

    Baiquan had never seen Zhao Yao personally preparing cat rice for a long time. This piqued his curiosity as he asked, ¡°What happened, Boss?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m trying a new recipe.¡± While Zhao Yao spoke, his deflective field had already sent waves rippling into the kitchen, sending the ingredients and kitchenware flying across the ce.

    Zhao Yao began washing the vegetables, cutting the meat and mixing them into a mixing bowl ... after the preparation works, Zhao Yao had sessfullybined the beef, fish, shrimp, vegetables, and supplements into a giant bowl. Using a smalldle, he began scooping out balls of it before squeezing it into a perfect sphere. Finally, he left all of them inside a steamer to steam.

    Aspared to other methods, steaming was definitely the healthiest method and could prevent the nutrients from seeping away.

    After more than an hour, Zhao Yao finally returned with his masterpiece ¨C Meatball Cat Rice. The fragrance permeated the entire apartment which sent Dust Ball and Mango hurrying over, huddling around Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes remained glued to his works as he startedughing.

    Zhao Yao always had the ability to differentiate the standard of cat rice by simply using his eyes. Cat rice could be separated into bad, average, good, splendid and Michelin standard. All this time, Matcha and the rest had been fed with Michelin standard cat rice which more than satisfied their dietary requirements, without producing any pollutants. This gave Zhao Yao 10 experience points each day.

    However, the cat rice in his hands was no longer Michelin standard, they were legendary. It had the perfect bnce between nutrition, taste, and aesthetics. By utilizing the vegetables grown using Light of Creation, Zhao Yao had sessfully incorporated superpower into this dish. Hence, the cats could earn 100 experience points each. Zhao Yao had no idea whether this could be further upgraded.

    However, 100 experience points every day was more than sufficient for Zhao Yao. Zhao Yao did not have to manage the caf¨¦ norplete more missions for this points. He simply had to cook.

    With five cats recruited under him, he would have an additional 500 points each day with this splendid food.

    ¡°Come, everyone! Have a taste of my new cat rice!¡± Zhao Yao sat on the couch as he watched the supercats inching towards the food, as he daydreamed about the experience points.

    ¡°Furthermore, I had plenty of customers this month. With the bonus cash from Old Man Zhuang, the experience points should be plenty. With the legendary cat rice providing 100 experience points daily, I¡¯ll be invincible!¡±

    Meanwhile, Matcha was carefully scrutinizing this meatball as he asked, ¡°Why is there a faint green tinge on it? Is it poisonous?:¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s so fragrant!¡± Dust Ball took in a few quick breaths and her nose almost crashed into the surface of the meatball. As the smell spread through her body, she could not help but salivate. Finally, she could no longer resist but plunge her teeth into it.

    Following the first bite, Dust Ball¡¯s pupils dted as her body copsed to the ground. One giant word shed across her head.

    Delicious!

    Dust Ball could feel the burst of vors exploding in her mouth. The meatball slid down her tongue and down her throat like silk. The vor was refreshing with a tinge of spiciness. The texture was smooth with a hint of springiness.

    ¡°This is ... delicious!¡±

    Dust Ball¡¯s loyalty had increased by 10 points.

    Dust Ball¡¯s loyalty had increased by 10 points.

    Dust Ball¡¯s loyalty had increased by 10 points.

    ¡°Is it really so good?¡± Matcha¡¯s eyes were glued to Dust Ball¡¯s exaggerated expression. Matcha sank his teeth into the meatball as his pupils dted, ¡°This is simply too good!¡±

    Roly Poly had hurried over with a smile dancing on his lips, ¡°Can there actually be anything that¡¯s more delicious than fried chicken in this world?¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s loyalty had increased by one point.

    Roly Poly¡¯s loyalty had increased by one point.

    Roly Poly¡¯s loyalty had increased by one point.

    Even Elizabeth, the only one amongst them who was totally indifferent to catmint, could not help bute over and took a few sniffs of this well-received cat rice. She could not help but take a gobble of it with the explosion of vors bursting in her body.

    The perfect bnce between the meat, fish, vegetables, and catmint waltzed on the tip of her tongue. Immediately, her tail shot upwards, reflecting just how happy she was with the food.

    Mango, Lightning and even Rice Cake managed to quell theirputer addiction and came over for this amazing dish. Soon enough, the cats had almost polished off the entire pot of cat rice.

    Dust Ball crept towards Zhao Yao and began rubbing her body against his calf as she flirted with him, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao! Do you have any more new recipes? I want to try all of them!¡± She could not help but lick her lips at the thought of more delicious cat rice. This dish infused with catmint had hooked herpletely.

    Meanwhile, the horde of supercats hadpletely surrounded Zhao Yao. Some were rubbing against his calf while others immediately pounced on hisp and buried their heads in his belly. All of them wanted more. They simply were not satisfied with one bowl.

    The corner of Zhao Yao¡¯s lips curled upwards when he saw how popr his dish was and remarked, ¡°What new cat rice? This is no ordinary cat rice. I have spent the past few months pouring my heart and soul into this perfect recipe. Do you think it¡¯s easy to make this? The ingredients include catmint that must be grown inside the extradimensional belly. I cannot make another batch for you guys today.¡±

    Despite his words, he was actually throbbing with happiness, ¡°Haha, I bet all of you have sumbed to my culinary skills. The loyalty points had instantaneously exploded.¡±

    Disappointment sagged through all the cats as Zhao Yao¡¯s voice rang in their heads. Dust Ball stared at Zhao Yao with her pair of glistening eyes, ¡°Then quickly go and nt some more catmint!¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately swept his eyes away from Dust Ball and made no response to her request. He simply let out a long and loud yawn before muttering, ¡°Sadly, growing catmint is such a tough andborious job. I¡¯m sure I can¡¯t grow too many if I do it alone. If only some cats volunteered to help me.¡±

    Dust Ball reacted by sliding Zhao Yao a condescending re and rebutted, ¡°You will have more than enough time to do it if you just cut down on yourputer gaming.¡±

    ¡°What do you even know?¡± Zhao Yao retorted, ¡°I am gathering authentic battle experiences through these games. All my positioning and battle instincts were umted from my hours toiling in the game.¡±

    Dust Ball could only roll her eyes when she heard these nonsensicalints. However, she could not help but salivate at the thought of that mouth-watering cat rice. Left with no options, she said, ¡°Alright, where are the seeds for the catmint? I¡¯ll help you with them.¡±

    A contented smile appeared on Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he took a nce at the catmint crops inside of the belly and thought, ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I grew so little at the very start. It will take at least a week before the new batch mature and I can use them for the new recipe. A week from now, I¡¯ll be busy collecting the 100 experience points every day!¡± Zhao Yao could not wait for the new abilities awaiting him.

    At this moment, Zhao Yao¡¯s ear gave a slight shudder as he heard a series of soft meowsing from the door.

    ¡°This sound. Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s Yellow Mud?¡± Zhao Yao swung open his door and saw a tiny yellow tabby standing by his doorstep. He stared nervously at his surroundings and seemed to be shivering. This was the previous cat king of Zhao Yao¡¯s district.

    However, what caught Zhao Yao attention was not his appearance but the phone dangling from his jaws.

    Zhao Yao bent next to him and asked curiously, ¡°What¡¯s that phone for?¡±

    ¡°This was given to me by the organizers of the cat kingpetition. They will use this to announce any announcements, rules, and prizes for thispetition. It can even be used tomunicate with other cat kings.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s right eyebrow shot up as he thought, ¡°It has finally arrived, Jiangmen City cat kingpetition.¡± He stared at the tiny cat crouching next to his feet as a tinge of pity shed across his eyes when he saw him shaking like a leaf.

    It was almost winter and the weather was growing increasingly unbearable by the day. This was especially true for the stray cats living in the wild.

    Zhao Yao pinched the bridge of his nose and decided to just open his gate and asked, ¡°Do you want to spend a night here?¡±

    ¡°Thank you!¡± Yellow Mud jumped up and down and dashed straight into Zhao Yao¡¯s apartment.

    Zhao Yao reminded him, ¡°Do not pollute my ce with your poisonous shit.¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡± Yellow Mud was greeted by the scene of Roly Poly and Matcha hugging an empty bowl with their tongues licking all over it. He knew who they were. They were the ones who barged into his home and beat him to a pulp. The memory was as fresh as ever. He suppressed a scream and hid under the couch.

    Zhao Yao stared at the phone in his hand curiously.

    ¡°Every cat king was given a phone? How are they supposed to charge it?¡±

    The phone was coated with metallic jet ck paint, with no visible brand logos on it. Zhao Yao tried weighing it in his hands and found it significantly heavier than most phones.

    ¡°This phone? Don¡¯t tell me that this was custom made?¡± Brimming with curiosity, Zhao Yao extended his finger towards the home button before stopping millimeters away. He thought, ¡°What if they track my location with GPS?¡±

    Preferring to stay on the safe side, Zhao Yao went to a small garden in his district before tapping on the button. Secondster, a mixture of colors shed across the screen before a set-up screen appeared. It required the user to input details such as the name, species and the area he resided in.

    ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s automatically connected to this webpage the moment I switch it on. It has inte on the phone itself?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s pupils constricted as he breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he didn¡¯t switch it on back in the apartment. From now on, he had to be extra careful with this phone. He considered switching off the phone for most of the day.

    Zhao Yao nced at the webpage and found it extremely user-friendly and aesthetically-appealing. It felt so refreshing to the eyes. There was even a simple note at each paragraph¡¯s containing a simple exnation. A voice prompt would be activated if you hovered at a portion for too long.

    ¡°Is this to make it easier for cats to operate? However, supercats had acquired basic literacy skills since awakening their powers. Hence, it should not be too much of a problem for them to register.¡±

    Zhao Yao then proceeded to fill in his information.

    Name: King George

    Species: LiHua

    Gender: Male

    Age: 2 years old

    ...

    ...

    After filling in thisborious information, a pop up prompting for a facial recognition appeared. Zhao Yao¡¯s eyebrow shot upwards as he muttered, ¡°So high-tech?¡± He rested the phone on a tree branch before calling down Matcha. He even reminded Matcha, ¡°Remember to fold your ears. It will act as some kind of disguise.¡±

    ¡°Matcha replied smugly, ¡°I have always been a Jiangmen Fold.¡±

    Matcha began posing before the camera. In the blink of an eye, he had sessfully registered and was brought to the neer¡¯s tutorial interface. From now on, it required Matcha¡¯s face for the phone to even unlock.

    ¡°Hmph ... this had instantly collected all the information of every single cat king in Jiangmen city. The organizer has spent quite a lot of money on this.¡±

    Seeing the bright blue words, tutorial, printed on the screen, Zhao Yao confidently chose to skip it. He knew that this was specially prepared for cats that were unfamiliar with phones. Naturally, Zhao Yao did not need it.

    Other than the basic interfaces and applications inside the phone, there was a special application pre-installed on the phone ¨C Cat Web.

    Zhao Yao skimmed at its content and realized that it was a forum. There were close to ten threads inside the forum, with a few particrly popr ones. More than one thousandments had been posted on this forum each day.

    ¡°If a cat king is behind every single ount, the organizer behind this is truly sick.¡± Zhao Yao tapped on a random thread and his attention was immediately attracted to the words, introduction to cat kingpetition¡¯s rules and rewards.

 Chapter 296: Raging Spirit

    <h4>Chapter 296: Raging Spirit</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao immediately tapped on it and was weed by a flood of replies. Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes instantly scanned the entire content and managed to elicit a few answers.

    Firstly, allpeting cat kings were given one phone each. This super phone was supposedly created by the Cat King of the North. It could simply be recharged by sunning it. The sr energy absorbed would be sufficient for an entire day of usage. The phone can even be used to surf the but cannot be used for calling and texting.

    ¡°This is some weird technology,¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes began scrutinizing the phone from top to bottom but failed to find an opening slot. The entire phone was simply a homogenous block. Zhao Yao whispered to himself, ¡°A superphone created by the Cat King of the North? Is this the same as my super cat rice? Is this phone created with the help of a superpower?¡±

    Secondly, the participants were made up of a pair of human and cat. As per mentioned previously, the pairprised of the apostle and his supercat. This unit would represent their district in thepetition.

    Suddenly, the phone¡¯s screen turned pitch ck. Just when Zhao Yao thought that this pirated phone had spoilt, a ck and white tabby appeared in a video. The tabby stared curiously at the camera before whipping out an object and said, ¡°Have a break, have a Northern Cat tidbit, supercat¡¯s trusted snacks. This year¡¯s Jiangmen City cat kingpetition is proudly brought to you by Northern Cat tidbit.¡±

    This stupid tabby repeated that same old line for at least three times before disappearing. Once again, the phone¡¯s screen had reflected the contents of the forum. Zhao Yao stared dumbfoundedly at the phone and muttered, ¡°That¡¯s a god d*mn advertisement. It¡¯s a f*cking advertisement and I can¡¯t even skip it. Neither can I pause it. What the f*ck.¡±

    Footages of the poorly shot advertisement continued to flood Zhao Yao¡¯s mind. An exasperated expression appeared on Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he wandered, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that silly looking cat is actually the Cat King of the North.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head violently in an attempt to get rid of the images in his head as he returned to the forum.

    Thirdly, this Cat Kingpetition was divided into three stages ¨C two rounds of elimination followed by the Finals. The first round of elimination wouldmence this month. All contestants would gather in the battleground where the bulk of the contestants will be eliminated, leaving the 32 contenders.

    The remaining 32 contenders would participate in the next round of elimination. The 8 contenders remaining at the end would be the finalists for thispetition.

    ¡°Even though it states that there are two rounds of elimination followed by a third, final round, nothing specific is being mentioned at all. There¡¯s practically no rules or anything at all.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead creased together as his eyes gravitated downwards.

    Fourthly, the 32 contenders which sessfully advanced through the first stage would receive a bag of premium Northern Cat Tidbits and a signed autography by the Cat King of the North.

    Zhao Yao stared in disbelief andmented, ¡°Who would even want that piece of trash?¡±

    However, the finalist who got passed the second round of elimination would be rewarded with a cash prize of RMB 10,000.

    Definitely, the best was saved for thest. The top three contenders would leave thispetition with RMB 200,000, RMB 1,000,000, and RMB 3,000,000 respectively.

    These were not the only prize up for grabs for the top three contenders. They could even choose one prize out of the three which included a supercat, a super equipment handcrafted by the Cat King of the North, or a property in Jiangmen City worth over RMB 20,000,000.

    Naturally, the champion of thispetition would be awarded the coveted first pick. The first runner-up would have a choice between the two remaining options. The second-runner up would simply receive the remaining prize up for grabs.

    The remaining thread covered on the choice of supercat which the winner could select from and the list of super equipment that Cat King of the North had kindly sponsored.

    ¡°Hmph, the supercats that are used as prizes are the ones caught by Cat King of the North. They were uwful cats that were caught formitting some sort of crime. The winner can select any cat amongst them?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes skimmed across the list of cats which he could possibly win. There were more than ten supercats with powers ranging from fire, water to even farting.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes wandered from the description of one cat to another, without anything that really caught his attention. Suddenly, his eyes froze when he saw this cat.

    Supercat ¡®Red Packet¡¯ had the power of good fortunes and would help improve one¡¯s fortunes and ie. It was captured by the Cat King of the North for getting embroiled in a tel fraud, extortion, and even unlicensed money lending.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s heart started racing as it pounded against his chest. He stared at the two words, Red Packet, and muttered, ¡°This is one lucky cat!¡± His eyes beamed with excitement as he announced, ¡°I must win this cat.¡±

    He continued skimming through the remaining supercats and the super equipment sponsored by Cat King of the North. The prizes were simply bizarre and included items such as this superphone. There was even a hopter taken directly from the Doraemon series. Zhao Yao could not help but wiped his saliva when he noticed it.

    ¡°Good stuff, there is simply too much good stuff.¡±

    The phone¡¯s screen turned pitch dark again while Zhao Yao was reveling in excitement. Zhao Yao already had an ominous feeling as to what was about to happen.

    As expected, the ck and white tabby returned to the screen again. This time around, he even donned a full body armor with a pair of boxing gloves.

    ¡°Hi everyone, I am the Cat King of the North. Just now, I was busy ying Cat God Legend when I suddenly won a stupid ring which I sold for RMB 200,000. What are you waiting for? Join me in Cat God Legend now!¡±

    A pop-up button appeared with the words ¡®Tap me to earn money¡± written on it. Zhao Yao had to wait for a total of 30 seconds before the advertisement finally disappeared.

    ¡°This stupid phone. What kind of user experience is this? How much time do I have to spend watching these idiotic ads?¡± Zhao Yao suppressed the raging anger bursting in his body as he continued reading on.

    Finally, it talked about the property that awaited the champions. It was a premier condominium lying right smack in the heart of the city. With a floor area exceeding 100 square meters, its prize alone had already exceeded RMB 20,000,000. Furthermore, it was fully furnished with designer furniture which included modern gym equipment,rge-screen LCD TV, hydro-massage tubs, and all kinds of smart furniture. It looked like a scene directly taken from a show. Zhao Yao¡¯s lips curled into a smile just thinking about it.

    Zhao Yao had grown extremely agitated after looking through the prizes, ¡°D*mn it, these prizes are for real!¡± His eyes shot out beams of excitement and he could not wait to call the prizes his own.

    After much deliberation, he still could not get his eyes off of ¡®Red Packet¡¯. Its power totally fitted Zhao Yao. With its power to bring in fortune, Zhao Yao could increase the earnings of the caf¨¦ while bagging in more experience points.

    Zhao Yao could literally feel his heart pounding against his chest as he continued reading about thepetition. Initially, he was only somewhat curious about it. Now, he had his eyes set on the championship title, nothing less than that.

    ¡°Hmph, since I¡¯m participating with Matcha, I should upgrade himter.¡± mes of determination erupted from Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes.

    Matcha suddenly raised his head to see Zhao Yao acting so animatedly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with him?¡±

    However, unbeknownst to Zhao Yao, the top prizes were simply used to entice apostles like him. The government had no ns to actually give them out.

    In their master n, Yue Shan was bound to win thepetition. He would then rule the city alongside the four cat kings. With the help of the phones, they could gradually register all supercats living in Jiangmen City into the official database, allowing them to better manage this group of unique cats.

 Chapter 297: Temptations

    <h4>Chapter 297: Temptations</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao balled his fists and set his mind on the title. Immediately, his BOOK had reflected his resolution.

    Mission: Be Cat King of Jiangmen City!

    Objective: Compete alongside Matcha and clinch the title of champion.

    Reward: 2000 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    There were no signs of fear and hesitation when Zhao Yao read through the contents. He was bent on winning and clinching the title.

    Zhao Yao stared at his hand and whispered to himself, ¡°From the looks of it, there is still approximately two more weeks before the start of the first round of elimination. I need to find some way to improve mybat prowess.¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin thoughtfully and murmured, ¡°Firstly, I¡¯ll have to upgrade Matcha. However, I can count myself lucky if I even manage to upgrade him by one level in such a short time. Are there any other methods?¡±

    Ideally, Zhao Yao should only use one power during thepetition. Also, he should not activate the supercat armor. He understood it. With so many supercats, wielding a wide array of powers, around in the arena, he cannot afford to expose his weakness or limitations in front of all of them.

    ¡°Supercat armor is definitely out of the question. Preferably, I should not use more than one power as well. I guess I¡¯ll just start training and honing Matcha¡¯s power for the time being.¡± Zhao Yao pinched the bridge of his nose and pondered, ¡°The only weakness of timefreeze is its limited offensive capabilities. Without the aid of extradimensional belly, I just have to bring some weapons along.¡±

    While Zhao Yao remained deep in thought, Matcha had sneakily crept behind Zhao Yao and craned his neck forward.

    ¡°Why did he drag me out in the middle of the night? Now, he¡¯s acting all strange again.¡± Matcha stared at the phone clutched tightly in Zhao Yao¡¯s hand and read, ¡°Oh, it¡¯s the cat kingpetition?¡±

    Zhao Yao bent next to Matcha and started caressing the back of his head, ¡°Matcha, I¡¯m gonna bring you along as we take down the throne and be the Cat King of Jiangmen Cty.¡±

    Matcha simply swept his head disdainfully. He was no ordinary cat; he was a supercat with intelligence. Zhao Yao¡¯s word rang an rm in his head as he responded, ¡°This sounds really dangerous. You might even die if you pit yourself against all these cats.¡±

    Zhao Yao knew that fear was the only thing holding Matcha back andforted him by saying, ¡°What are you afraid of? I¡¯ll be beside you throughout the entirepetition. I¡¯ll be the one throwing the punches. All you have to do is stay at a side and watch.¡±

    Matcha did not believe a single word Zhao Yao said and interrupted, ¡°However, you said that you only intended to use my power of timefreeze and not any other powers. Isn¡¯t that dangerous? No, no, it¡¯s too risky. I¡¯m notpeting.¡±

    Disappointment sagged through Zhao Yao as he muttered, ¡°I was saying all those things in my head. How did he even hear it?¡±

    His brief thoughts were interrupted by Matcha¡¯s scoff as he replied, ¡°We have alwaysmunicated telepathically. I¡¯ll naturally hear them when your thoughts suddenly turn too intense or strong.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Zhao Yao stared wide-eyed at Matcha as his forehead creased together, ¡°That means you have managed to hear many of my thoughts? What have you heard?¡±

    Matcha nodded his head and replied nonchntly, ¡°Yes, especiallyte at night when your thoughts run wild. I always hear you grumble about how lousy you are at PUBG.

    Sometimes, you grumble about why you don¡¯t have a girlfriend. Other times, you contemte about whether to buy a sex doll or not but you¡¯re afraid that Baiquan or Hanako might see it when the goods are delivered. You even talk about the condoms that are about to expire ...¡±

    ¡°Enough!¡± Zhao Yao mmed his hand across, sealing Matcha¡¯s mouth shut. Zhao Yao stared viciously at Matcha before asking, ¡°Who else knows about this other than you?¡±

    ¡°No one! Do you think I¡¯m actually interested in theseme topics? I¡¯m forced to listen to them because of how strong your thoughts are!¡±

    Zhao Yao let out a few coughs with his hand remained wrapped around Matcha¡¯s neck, ¡°Remember to never tell anyone about this. I will make you the star cat for the following month and arrange your date with Diana.¡±

    ¡°Huh? Isn¡¯t that going against the rules?¡± Matcha asked with his tails wagging excitedly from left to right, ¡°Couldn¡¯t you have done this right at the start?¡±

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°However, what¡¯s the point even if you managed to meet her. She is a ragdoll. She would never be interested in an ordinary cat like you.¡±

    ¡°But I¡¯m the sessor to a caf¨¦ empire, the crown prince to cat nation. You said that the proposal would work if I broach this topic.¡±

    ¡°I said that this would allow Catherine to acknowledge your status. However, it won¡¯t mean a single thing to Diana. If you don¡¯t believe, I can help ask Diana on your behalf.¡±

    The next moment, Zhao Yao and Matcha had appeared in the belly with Matcha hidden using illusion. Zhao Yao stopped right in front of Diana before asking, ¡°Diana, how do you find King George?¡±

    ¡°King George? He is pretty strong and powerful.¡± Diana answered listlessly with her eyes glued to the drama, ¡°However he looks like a country bumpkin, a vige cat who just came to the city. I always have this fear that he would bring me a rat as a gift.¡±

    Matcha clutched his chest tightly as he felt his waning heartbeat. His tail fell to the ground as he screamed in Zhao Yao¡¯s head, ¡°Who¡¯s gonna bring her a stupid rat? I am the premier Jiangmen Fold. I will never eat meat that is slightly raw.¡±

    Zhao Yao petted against Matcha¡¯s invisible body and continued prying, ¡°What kind of male cats are you interested in?¡±

    Diana¡¯s body froze as a red glimmer shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes, ¡°Obviously, I love the heroes among supercats, the one who can defeat hundreds and thousands of cats in a blink of an eye, the god revered by all. I will marry whoever is crowned as the champion of cat kingpetition.¡±

    Momentster, Zhao Yao had left with Matcha resting in his arms, ¡°See? I told you. You will have Diana as long as youpete and win with me.¡±

    However, Matcha remained undecided, ¡°It¡¯s still too dangerous. A de has no eyes. What if we fall victim to a vicious, unreasonable opponent? What if he kills us?¡±

    ¡°There cannot be reward without risk. Do you believe in my abilities? I will risk it all to save you if ites to it.¡± Zhao Yao continued encouraging Matcha, ¡°If you participate with me and win thispetition, you will have more than Diana. All the bitches in Jiangmen City will be your concubines.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Matcha¡¯s mouth stretched wide open as he was absorbed in his fantasy world.

    ¡°Just take a look at the prizes! As long as you win, you will have all the fortune, title, and bitches that you can dream of.¡± Zhao Yao continued fanning Matcha¡¯s egoistic mes, ¡°What you will receive is the entire Jiangmen. Diana wille crawling to you with a snap of your fingers.¡±

    In Matcha¡¯s dreams, or rather the illusions fed by Zhao Yao, hordes of beautiful cats like Diana came swarming towards him, surrounding him, licking him. It wasn¡¯t just ragdolls, there were Persian cats, British Shorthair, American Shorthair, tabby and Main Coons that were three times his size. All of them stared affectionately at him.

    Matcha¡¯s jaw went ck when he noticed the giant main Coon approaching him. He was shocked beyond words as he mumbled, ¡°D*mn it, is this too much?¡± However, his lips immediately curled into a smile as he whispered, ¡°But I do like a challenge.¡±

    The smile never once evaporated from Matcha¡¯s face as he continued fantasizing. Zhao Yao pounced on the opportunity and asked, ¡°How about it? Join me and defeat all our opponents. We will rule over Jiangmen City!¡±

    With the silly smile on his face, Matcha nodded and agreed.

    At this moment, a golden exmation mark appeared on top of Matcha¡¯s head, signifying another mission.

    Mission: Be the Cat King of Jiangmen City!

    Objective: Help Matcha achieve the tile of Cat King of Jiangmen City and earn the admirations of thousands of female cats.

    Reward: 2000 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    Zhao Yap beamed from ear to ear as he epted the mission, ¡°Haha, as long as I win thispetition, I will earn 2000*2*2 experience points! With the original prize of thepetition ...¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s heart pounded frantically as he continued daydreaming.

    When the clock struck 12, it was finally time for Zhao Yao to consolidate the points earned from the monthly missions. He stared solemnly at his BOOK. The decision he was about to make would heavily affect his performance in thepetition.

    After deducing the money spent on utility fees, cat food, tidbits, and coffee powder, the month¡¯s profit was RMB 518,363. Hence, he had earned 1000 experience points which could be redeemed by tapping on it, kick-starting the new month¡¯s mission.

    Firstly, Zhao Yao went to Diamond Hall to purchase the ¡®X2 Experience Card¡¯, before redeeming the reward. Instantaneously, his BOOK had turned to lv5(6278/10000).

    His eyes drifted towards Matcha¡¯s information which wrote lv5(320/5000).

    He immediately transferred 4680 points to Matcha upgrading him to lv6.

 Chapter 298: The Phone Call

    <h4>Chapter 298: The Phone Call</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao¡¯s kept his eyes shut as he prayed earnestly when he tapped on the upgrade button.

    ¡°Please, give me a useful ability! You must give me a good one!¡±

    While Zhao Yao was still immersed in his prayers, two ability branches had already appeared before his eyes.

    Boiling Part (Upgraded): This is the upgraded version of the power, Boiling Part, that you are familiar with. During the period of timefreeze, the speed of time would multiply by the current level of Matcha, making it 6X.

    Hardening of Time: This will allow the user to absorb the power of time, by improving the user¡¯s sensitivity to it.

    Hardening of Time was like the previous powers offered. Its description was somewhat vague, making it impossible for one to truly understand its effects.

    On the other hand, Boiling Part (Upgraded) was easily understood. Evidently, this was the same power that Zhao Yao had chosen previously, just that it got stronger. Also ...

    ¡°This power is an upgrade of my current power.¡± Beams of excitement shot out of Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes as he eximed, ¡°Six times the current speed! Based on my experience, this would affect the destructive power, the reaction time during timefreeze and my thought process! I¡¯m gonna grow stronger holistically! Since my power was limited to 12 seconds, this effect would allow me to do 72 seconds worth of things within 12 seconds!¡±

    ¡°Currently, this power¡¯s effect is tied to my current level. If I continue upgrading, the effects will grow increasingly more pronounced! Furthermore, there is no cooldown attached to it at all!¡±

    Zhao Yao was overwhelmed with excitement with the possibilities awaiting him. He did not hesitate and immediately chose the power, Boiling Point (Upgraded).

    ¡°Matcha, I have increased your power once again. This time around, everything you do during timefreeze will be elerated. Let¡¯s try it out.¡± Zhao Yao nced at the irritating superphone in his hand and decided to just switch it off and throw it inside the extradimensional belly.

    At the next moment, he had already channeled Matcha¡¯s ability and activated timefreeze.

    When the entire world was a standstill, two figures swept across the pavement like a hurricane. All that was left were their shadows. In the blink of an eye, they had gone from the heart of the district to the entrance before making a dash out of the ce.

    ¡°Haha, it¡¯s too fast, Zhao Yao! I¡¯m too fast!¡± Matcha screamed excitedly as his tiny frame whizzed past. To him, all his weight had evaporated into thin air and he felt weightless. By taking a tiny step forward, the scene surrounding him had already fallen behind.

    In his eyes, everything, be it the pedestrians, cars, barriers, rubbish and the remaining obstacles remained crystal clear. Regardless of how fast he went, he still managed to evade them effortlessly.

    When time resumed, Zhao Yao and Matcha¡¯s body reacted by giving a soft shudder. They found themselves one kilometer from where they first started.

    ¡°Invincible, I¡¯m invincible!¡± Matcha burst outughing, ¡°At this rate, no one can even hold a candle to me! Haha! My power has elevated me to the pinnacle of supercats!¡±

    However, Zhao Yao remained silent. After waiting for a short while to ensure that the cooldown had already worn off, he began to swing his palm in the air.

    Just 0.3 seconds worth of timefreeze allowed Zhao Yao toplete a series of actions which actually required 1.8 seconds. This was allpleted when his actions were elerated six times.

    ¡°I am the most vulnerable during my cooldown. The shorter the cooldown, the better it is.¡±

    ¡°During the normal battles, I must maintain the cooldown time to below one second. This will prevent anyone from exposing my weakness and should be more than sufficient to take down the majority of my opponents.¡±

    ¡°Now, I need to get some weapons that I can easily carry around.¡±

    Zhao Yao was extremely satisfied with Matcha¡¯s upgrade. This power fitted his needs seamlessly. After slightly more than half an hour of experimenting in the garden, Zhao Yao finally returned home.

    His phone started vibrating the moment he took one step out of the shower.

    Zhao Yao picked up his phone from his bed and took a look at the disy, ¡°Inspector Ho?¡± He immediately picked up the call and was greeted by a somewhat hoarse voice.

    ¡°Hello, is this Zhao Yao? Are you asleep? It¡¯s time for your toilet break. It¡¯s bad for your body if you wake up at 4 or 5 am to settle your business.¡±

    Zhao Yao stared wide-eyed and could not believe his ears, ¡°I never expected this guy to be so petty.¡± Hence, he just responded with whatever that came to his head, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯m as healthy as ever. During my previous health check-up, the doctor said that I was as fit as a bull. I enjoy perfect sleep every night and I¡¯m brimming with energy throughout the entire day.¡±

    Zhao Yao let out a sigh before wiping off the sweat umted on his forehead, ¡°Alright, other than reminding me to go for my toilet break, what do you want from me? You stupid petty man.¡±

    Inspector Ho responded with a cackle and said, ¡°Do you know about the cat kingpetition?¡±

    A glint shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s head as all sorts of possibilities zoomed past his head. Finally, he responded with the simplest answer, ¡°What the hell is that? I don¡¯t know.¡±

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. Anyway, it¡¯s just a city-widepetition involving all supercats and their apostles. Are you interested in participating?¡± Inspector Ho asked.

    ¡°Not interested.¡± Zhao Yao replied adamantly, ¡°I spend all my time in the caf¨¦. I even have to prepare the food for Old Man Zhuang and take care of all the cats. This has already taken a toll on me. Where do I find time to participate in this sillypetition?¡±

    Zhao Yao had never nned to participate in thispetition using his true identity. Naturally, he was not about to divulge the truth.

    ¡°Hmph, in this case,¡± Inspector Ho propped his chin on his hand and hesitated for a while before continuing, ¡°To tell you the truth, we are also involved in the organization of thispetition and have sent some of our apostles to represent us. If you¡¯re interested in participating, I can supply you with some insider information.¡±

    A hint of hesitation shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes. However, he managed topose himself the next moment and reminded himself that this was just a test. He then replied nonchntly, ¡°I¡¯m not interested. If there¡¯s nothing else, bye.¡±

    ...

    Huddled inside the meeting room, Inspector Ho stared furiously at his phone and retorted, ¡°How dare he hang up on me?¡±

    Yue Shan, who sat right next to him answered, ¡°How is it? Is that guy participating?¡±

    ¡°No. It¡¯s just one less troublesome guy on my side.¡± Inspector Ho breathed a sigh of relief.

    With thepetition about to begin, Inspector Ho decided to contact some of the powerful yers in the region in the capacity of an organizer. He did not want any of them to disrupt the flow of this event.

    Inspector Ho continued, ¡°Zhao Yao is already one of the more reasonable apostles. The remaining ones are far worse.¡±

    A frown crept up Yue Shan¡¯s face as he responded, ¡°There are more and more strong apostles by the day. There¡¯s the golden man who tried to take down Sphynx Cat and the headless horseman who annihted Muscle Society. Also, there¡¯s the supercat that had managed to subdue tens of cat kings. All of them are thornier than Zhao Yao.¡±

    Inspector Ho nodded his head and replied, ¡°That¡¯s why we have to improve our management. Thispetition offers us the perfect opportunity. With the superphones, we can collect a massive amount of information regarding the supercats and their apostles. We can even use thepetition to gauge their abilities and characters.

    Since the awakening of supercats, we have adopted the safer approach ¨C collecting intel secretly while strengthening our powers. Now, it¡¯s finally time for us to act. Anyway, we have already decided on the top three winners, hence we don¡¯t have to worry about the rewards.¡±

    At the same time, Inspector Ho¡¯s phone started buzzing on the table. His forehead furrowed slightly when he took a nce at it. He let out a long sigh beforementing, ¡°A pesky fellow is participating.¡±

    Yue Shan remained to lie in his recliner as he willed the Rubik¡¯s cube to move on its own using psychokinesis, without lifting a finger, ¡°Who?¡±

    ¡°Explosive Man,¡± Inspector ho replied with his brows tightly knitted together. Yue Shan¡¯s brows shot upward the moment the two words rang in his head. A tinge of hesitation shed across his eyes. He was one of the apostles they met and sessfully cated. Other than Zhao Yao, he was the thorniest apostle in their hands, especially with his destructive power. He had a worse attitude than Zhao Yao.

    Inspector Ho had already replied via WeChat, ¡°You¡¯re participating?¡±

    Explosive Man replied, ¡°Oh, Inspector Ho, you¡¯re still awake? Or did you see my message when you¡¯re off for your toilet runs?¡± Inspector Ho answered, ¡°That¡¯s none of your business! Why did you suddenly change your mind and decide to participate?¡±

    Explosive Man replied, ¡°Hmph, you have always mentioned that there was someone stronger than me within the group of apostles you gathered. However, you have been rather stingy to share information about him. Hence, I can only participate to find out more about him.¡±

    Inspector Ho answered, ¡°He¡¯s not participating.¡± The apostle Inspector Ho alluded to was none other than Zhao Yao.

    Explosive Man asked, ¡°Is that so? But I¡¯m sure there¡¯s bound to be some strong apostles participating. Oh yes, the money that you are giving me is not enough for my daily spendings. You know that I¡¯m a pacifist at heart, but my remuneration is not proportional to my strength at all. This money is peanutspared to my strength.¡±

    Somehow, Inspector Ho¡¯s forehead managed to crease further, ¡°What are you trying to say?¡±

    Explosive Man cut to the chase and answered, ¡°Originally, I nned to take out that apostle and request for the money given to him. Since he¡¯s not participating, I will just set my sight on the championship title. There are definitely some rewards awaiting me if I win, right?¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao was tossing in bed, stemming from the unbridled excitement.

    Firstly, there were the fantastic prizes lying ahead. Then, there was the power boost from Matcha¡¯s upgrade and even the excitement of the unknown enemies waiting ahead.

    However, he began dozing off with Celestial Beats drifting into his ears.

    The second morning, he woke up unusually early and brought Hanako, Baiquan and the supercats to the caf¨¦.

    As usual, Shi Yu spotted Zhao Yao sitting in his favorite spot watching his anime. Her body locked up with rage as her muscles quivered with indignation, ¡°Zhao Yao, can you at least pretend to be busy? All you know is to camp in front of your stupidputer!¡±

    Zhao Yao remained to stare solemnly at the bright screen. Matcha was sitting in his arms with an equally solemn expression. When Shi Yu¡¯s voice rang in their heads, Zhao Yao and Matcha turned simultaneously towards her.

    Shi Yu was taken aback by their solemn faces and froze momentarily, ¡°Erm, what just happened?¡±

    ¡°Stop disturbing us from learning!¡± Matcha screamed as he mmed his paw against the table, ¡°Do you know that we are about to participate in an epic war in just two weeks¡¯ time? We are focusing all our attention on this training!¡±

    Actually, Zhao Yao and Matcha were gatheringbat experience by watching all sorts of anime. There weren¡¯t many readily avable materials for them to read up on. Hence, they resorted to watching animes and carefully scrutinized the battles inside. They had benefitted immensely from all these footages.

    Naturally, Shi Yu could not understand a word Matcha said. All she heard was Zhao Yao¡¯s voice, ¡°Shi Yu, I have something very important to attend to. From now on, I¡¯ll have to spend at least eight hours a day on anime.¡±

    Shi Yu was left speechless by this nonsense, ¡°Who is going to tend to the operations in the caf¨¦?¡±

    Zhao Yao walked up to Shi Yu and gave aforting pat on her back, ¡°I will leave it all up to you. Don¡¯t worry, as long as you can get past this month, I¡¯ll reward all of you with a big fat red packet!¡±

    After appeasing Shi Yu, Zhao Yao immediately returned to his seat and buried his head in the show.

    The solemn expression remained on Matcha¡¯s face when he suggested, ¡°Let¡¯s change to a new episode. I remember the battle that took ce in the third episode of Jojo¡¯s Bizarre Adventures which was extremely inspiring for me. There was also the mention of timefreeze which is great for me.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head and answered, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s just finish the entire series in one go. We will then proceed on to the few epic battles in Naruto. Remember to take down the important pointers.¡±

    Matcha nodded his head with his eyes glued to the screen.

    Meanwhile, Roly Poly was hiding in a corner as he watched Zhao Yao cradle Matcha in his arms. A hint of jealousy shed across his eyes.

    ¡°When did these two fes suddenly grow so close to each other?¡± Roly Poly could feel his throne slipping right through the gaps in his fingers, ¡°It seems like I must start taking action as well.¡±

    He immediately waved his paws at Mango and eximed, ¡°Mango,e here! Quickly,e here!¡±

    Roly Poly stared excitedly at Mango as he slowly made his way towards him with his tail stuck between his legs.

    All the information he gathered online stared flooding his head.

    ¡°When the training is sessful or when your cat has sessfully replicated your actions, do remember topliment them using a gentle tone.¡±

    Roly Poly pressed Mango¡¯s body against his and sent his tongue licking all over his face, ¡°Obedient Mango! You are so obedient and diligent! Why are you so obedient and smart?¡±

    However, Mango realized that there was no tidbit awaiting him and instantly left with his forehead creased together.

    On the other hand, Zhao Yao was not only upied with his training to improve his battle coordination. At the end of work, he appeared in the belly and started taking care of the cleanliness which required him to sweep, mop, disinfect, and clean the toilets.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, we need more water.¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao, help meb my fur.¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao, help me clean my butt hole.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s palm flew across and mmed right on Airne¡¯s head that was crawling out of the toilet, ¡°Lick it yourself!¡±

    Ares was observing all of these as Zhao Yao ran around the ce, without even stopping for a break. Uncertainty shed across his eyes as he thought, ¡°Why is this guy suddenly so hardworking? What is he up to again?¡±

    Behind Aresy the Sphynx Cat who was struggling in this humid environment, ¡°Ares, help me scratch my back.¡±

    Ares¡¯s forehead furrowed together as heplied with the requests with the help of his deflective field. He then asked, ¡°Alright, didn¡¯t you say that you knew about King George¡¯s weakness?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll tell you about it if you continue to scratch my back.¡±

    Meanwhile, after sweating for slightly more than an hour, Zhao Yao swept his eyes across the ce and realized that all the golden exmation marks had already disappeared into thin air.

    ¡°D*mn it, this ce is just getting better and better while the cats are growingzier andzier. I¡¯m getting fewer missions from them.¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin before transporting chunks of wooden nks and pirs into the belly.

    This was the kitty tower which he had ordered online previously. He had brought all of them in order toplete the third chain mission ¨C increasing thend space per cat.

    400 experience points were awaiting him. Furthermore, there was still going to be more missions afterpleting this.

    Zhao Yao knew that he was just two weeks away from themencement of thepetition. Other than devoting his time to anime in an attempt to broaden his horizons in superpowers, he also had to earn more experience points.

    Even if he couldn¡¯t upgrade Matcha, it would be great if he could upgrade either Ares or Lucifer. Since they were only level 4, they required not much experience points.

    Ares: lv4(390/2000)

    Lucifer: lv4(250/2000)

    Currently, his method of earning more points was throughpleting the daily missions, cleaning the missions in the belly and the chain missions.

    With the assembled kitty tower standing in front of him, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyebrows started knitting together as he muttered, ¡°Just a simple kitty tower does not maximize the space effectively.¡±

    Every single possible permutation started whizzing past Zhao Yao¡¯s head.

    ¡°Currently the dimensions of the extradimensional belly were 10 meters by 10 meters by three meters.¡±

    The requirement for the third chain mission was to give each cat at least 50 square meters of space. Currently, he had Ares, F¨±jin, Lucifer, Rakshasa, Gaia, Caesar, Catherine, Diana, Lion Head, Airne, Sausage, Baozi, Uncle Egg and the Sphynx Cat, totaling to 14 cats altogether. That would equate to 700 square meters, which was seven times the current space.

    He could only meet this criterion if he split the entire space into seven equal floors.

    However, with a height of three meters, each floor would have a ceiling of a measly 42 centimeters if he split the entire belly into seven floors.

    This was enough space for them to sleep or crawl around. However, it would be rather ustrophobic for cats that enjoyed crawling, jumping and hunting.

    With these considerations in his head, Zhao Yao instantly came to the realization that it was impossible for him to permanently effect this change.

    ¡°Since it has alreadye to this, I¡¯ll just have to maximize whatever space that I currently have. At most, I can just demolish all these new floors at the end of the mission.¡±

    With his n firmly set, Zhao Yao immediately sprang into action, wasting no time at all.

    After spending the entire morning scrutinizing hours of films with Matcha, Zhao Yao spent the remaining afternoon ordering bs of wooden nks from a wholesaler.

    ¡°Since this renovation is only going to be temporary, I just require enough space for the cats to sleep. Hmph, in that case, I¡¯ll just set the height to 20 centimeters instead. Then, I¡¯ll be able to divide it into 15 floors.¡±

    That very same night, Zhao Yao returned to the extradimensional belly with heaps of wooden nks. By simply concentrating on the wooden nks, the deflective field had already sent them flying across his eyes.

    Zhao Yao whispered to himself, ¡°With a height of 20 centimeters, I can create 15 floors. Thend space created will be 750 square meters. There should be enough?¡±

    ¡°What the f*ck is this?¡± Uncle Egg stared dumbfoundedly as his jaws went ck. The half-eaten catmint even dropped out of his mouth as piles and piles of wooden nks flew around.

    Ares, the self-regarded leader, was the first one to step forward and questioned, ¡°Zhao Yao! What are you trying to do?¡±

    Zhao Yao simply responded with a wave of his hands before pacifying them, ¡°It¡¯s nothing, nothing. Everyone, do not worry. I am just constructing a luxurious apartment for all of you. From now on, all of you will have a personal space to yourself.¡±

    Diana¡¯s eyes immediately sparkled with excitement when she heard Zhao Yao¡¯s promise of a personal space. Brimming with anticipation, she asked, ¡°I want a firece, with giant bs of marble and beautiful chandelier!¡±

    ¡°Building an apartment for all of us? Are you sure you can do it?¡± Ares¡¯s tone was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao responded with a confident smile. He took a step forward before throwing his hands in the air. Immediately, half of the items in the extradimensional belly had been levitated into mid-air. He nned to use 50 square meters of space to construct the house.

    Dust Ball, who was guarding her precious catmint garden, watched on suspiciously and roared, ¡°What are you doing, Zhao Yao? Do not destroy my catmint!¡±

    Since that night when she had a taste of the legendary cat rice, she could still vividly taste theplex vors dancing on her tongue. Hence, she had spent all her time tending to the catmint growing inside the belly.

    Using a chalk, she demarcated 10 square meters worth of space. Then, she coated it with a thickyer of soil and fertilizer before sprinkling seeds all over it.

    This was no easy task considering how packed the belly was. Currently, there were two giant containers, tens ofptops, tens of litter boxes and even thatrge cage housing the Sphynx Cat.

    For the past few days, she would check on the growth of the catmint every few minutes.

    When she saw Zhao Yao ambling towards her precious ground, she instantly dashed forward and stopped Zhao Yao by using her body as a fence. She was not going down without a fight as she screamed, ¡°Are you trying to demolish my garden?¡±

    Zhao Yao had sent all theptops, generators and litter boxes swirling in the air as he began his renovation. He stared helplessly at Dust Ball and exined, ¡°This is for the construction of cat nation. I¡¯m not destroying your garden, I¡¯m simply relocating it.¡±

    ¡°Do not touch my catmint!¡±

    ¡°After I relocate your garden, you will have 30 square meters instead of 10. Then, you can grow even more catmint!¡±

    ¡°Really?¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡±

    By concentrating his thoughts at a single spot, the pots of catmint had levitated into the air before descending at a corner. Instantly, a nk of wooden board flew over before it was chopped into three pieces by the sword auras. In the blink of an eye, it had turned into a three-storied shelf, with the pots resting on it. Zhao Yao bent next to Dust Ball before asking, ¡°How is it? With three levels, you can grow three times more catmint.¡±

    ¡°Ah!¡± Dust Ball could not help but jump up and down. She immediately sprang out of her belly andmenced her search for more catmint.

    ¡°Catmint, catmint!¡± Her tiny frame was seen scurrying all over the apartment as she began whipping out bags of catmint seeds from the aircon, nket and even the cracks in the sofa.

    With 50 square meters of empty space, Zhao Yao could finallymence his construction. bs of wooden nks levitated in mid-air and had turned into a building instantaneously.

    With the help of deflective field, he began shaving the wooden nks, turning them into pirs to support the building.

    A sea of cat eyes was glued to him as the construction of their homes beganyer byyer.

    Even with the help of deflective field, Zhao Yao still spent three hours on this project. Finally, a fifteen story building stood in front of them.

    To his disappointment, the mission remained unfinished.

    ¡°Hmph, maybe I need the cats to physically stay inside the building?¡± Zhao Yao cocked his head towards the cat spectators and asked, ¡°How do you find your new home? Do you want to go in and take a look?¡±

    The cats broke into chatters as they stared nervously at one another. As usual, Ares was the first to take the leap of faith and entered the building. With the first positive example, the remaining cats scurried over and entered the building cautiously

    Still, the mission remained iplete. Zhao Yao decided to let the cats stay in the building for some time and see if it worked.

    Later that night, a paw mmed across Zhao Yao¡¯s face which instantly jolted him from his sweet sleep.

    ¡°What happened? Dust Ball?¡±

    ¡°Look at your extradimensional belly! Your wooden building is about to be demolished!¡±

    Zhao Yao instantly changed to Dust Ball¡¯s power and was greeted by the sight of tens of cats surrounding him.

    Uncle Egg retorted, ¡°Are you stupid? This house is simply too short! I can¡¯t even stand inside it. This is more like a coffin than a house!¡±

    Ares slid Zhao Yao a condescending re and scoffed, ¡°My head will smash against the ceiling every time I leave my bed. This house is obviously meant for hamsters, not cats!¡±

    Catherine and Diana stared at Zhao Yao with their forehead creased together. Their lips protruded in a slight pout as Catherinemented, ¡°I can¡¯t even turn my body around, neither can I jump. Also, the sound instion is so bad. I can hear the movement of every single cat living there. Is this ce even fit for cats?¡±

    Zhao Yao instantly retorted, ¡°This is cat nation. Do you know how expensive thend costs? Do you know how many cats are eagerly waiting for a spot in here? I will count myself lucky if I were given a roof here. Come on, I haven¡¯t even demanded rent yet!¡±

    ¡°No!¡± Ares threw his paws in the air and demanded, ¡°We want our original space back!¡±

    ¡°Demolish! Demolish!¡±

    ¡°Destroy Zhao Yao! Destroy hamster¡¯s cage!¡±

    The cats broke into a chorus of protests while the mission remained iplete. Left with no options, Zhao Yao finally eded to their requests.

    Naturally, Ares was the one spearheading the demolition work. Until the very end, the mission remained iplete.

    ¡°Hmph, I guess I cannot bend the rules in my favor. Does that mean I have to create 450 meters square worth of actual living space?¡± Sadness clouded Zhao Yao¡¯s feature as he muttered, ¡°If I can¡¯tplete the chain mission, I¡¯ll just have toplete the missions outside.¡±

    ...

    On the following night, a headless figure was spotted on the rooftop in the heart of the city. A jet ck mantle cloaked his entire body. He looked just like a cat squatting by the edge of the roof and could pass off as a gargoyle.

    Roly Poly craned his neck out of Zhao Yao¡¯s cor and asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, you have already squatted here for the past hour. When are we going back?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t call me Zhao Yao!¡± Zhao Yao screamed in a raspy voice, ¡°I told youst night to address me as the headless horseman.¡±

 Chapter 301: Points! Points! More Points!

    <h4>Chapter 301: Points! Points! More Points!</h4>

    Zhao Yao¡¯s pupils constricted slightly after reminding Roly Poly on his behavior. His eyes continued to dart across the horizon as his ears took in the myriad of sound within a 100 meters radius.

    ¡°Based on the intel collected, this should be the ce?¡± Zhao Yao had already given up all hopes ofpleting the third chain mission. Hence, he decided to focus all his attention on the missions avable outside.

    Since the mission must be somehow connected to supercats or superpower, Zhao Yao naturally chose a spot with superpower anomalies.

    Roly Poly¡¯s fat and round head peeked out from the tiny gap in Zhao Yao¡¯s cor as he carefully examined the serious expression on Zhao Yao¡¯s face before thinking, ¡°When did this guy suddenly turn so hardworking? At this timing, he would usually be on his bed ying his stupid phone games.¡±

    Naturally, Roly Poly had no idea what caused this sudden change in behavior. At this moment, Zhao Yao was truly extremely serious. He had sworn to win thepetition and bag home the lucrative prize ¨C Fortune Cat. He had to earn as many points as possible before themencement of thepetition in order to further strengthen his powers.

    At this moment, Zhao Yao¡¯s ear gave a slight shudder. Muffled screams could be heard amidst the roar of the blistering wind.

    ¡°They are here!¡± Somehow, Zhao Yao¡¯s pupils had constricted into vertical slits and could make out the yellow glint shing across him. His eyes were as sharp as a feline¡¯s.

    Immediately, he stood from his position and leaped from the top of a 50 storied building, before disappearing into the vast night sky.

    Meanwhile, a masked man was making his escape down the walls of a building. He looked as if he were walking on regr ground. However, he was actually stepping on the ss wall as his body stood parallel to the ground, defying thew of physics, as he made a dash for the ground level.

    ¡°Haha!¡± The masked man was bursting down at top speed as he bellowed inughter. He cocked his head around and saw the hordes of security guards huddled at the broken window which he escaped from and muttered, ¡°What a bunch of fools! None of them stand a chance against me!¡±

    Amongst the horde of security guard stood a middle-aged balding man, he mmed his arm against the wall and roared, ¡°What the hell happened? How could you have let him escaped?¡±

    Another security guard interjected him, ¡°Captain, that guy simply jumped out of the window, but instead of falling to the ground, he started walking down the walls like Spiderman!¡±

    The bald man mmed his hand into the other guy¡¯s face and retorted, ¡°Do you take me for an idiot? Try telling that to your manager. You can practically kiss goodbye to your job!¡±

    However, when the bald man craned his neck out of the broken window, the scene that he saw left him staring wide-eyed with cold sweat beading his forehead. Just like how the other guy had described, the guy was literally walking down the walls as if it were nothing.

    Suddenly, his momentary shock was disturbed by a raspy voice which erupted behind them, ¡°Do you need help?¡±

    The bald man turned around and saw a headless man standing directly behind him. He threw in hands in the air and screamed, ¡°Ghost!¡± Immediately, he copsed to the ground, unconscious.

    Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of despair before turning to face the other two security guards. Both had armed themselves with the baton as they shook from head to toe. Fear overtook their features as they struggled to open their mouths, ¡°Who are you?¡±

    ¡°I can help you catch the thief.¡± Zhao Yao saw his favorite exmation mark floating above their heads and immediately swung his arm in the air. Instantly, deflective field was activated as their batons flew from their hands before they were twisted into a nunchuck mid-air.

    Ah!

    This simply scared the living daylights out of the security guards. They immediately turned around and made a run for it. Zhao Yao stopped them in their escape and asked again, ¡°I¡¯m asking onest time. Do you need my help to catch that thief?¡±

    The security guards remained ovee with fear. Zhao Yao just grabbed one of them to him before whispering in his ears, ¡°Say, do you need my help?¡±

    Mission: Catch the peeping tom.

    Objective: Help the security guards capture the peeping tom from the hotel.

    Reward: 50 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    ¡°Oh, so he is a peeping tom?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s brows knitted together when he read through the mission. 50 experience points was a measly sum but it was still better than nothing. He slid the security guard, who had pissed his pants, a stare before taking a step out from the broken window.

    ¡°Another one jumped down?¡±

    ¡°What do we do?¡±

    ¡°What else can we do?¡± The unconscious bald man had finally regained consciousness and ordered, ¡°Quickly call the police!¡±

    The other two security guards can¡¯t imagine how the bald leader could possibly recover so quickly and asked, ¡°Captain! Weren¡¯t you unconscious just seconds ago?¡±

    ¡°I, Mao Shikeng, have been living out in the streets since I was 12. How can I possibly faint from that?¡± He balled his fists before continuing, ¡°I did it on purpose. I¡¯m just trying to lure that guy into thinking that I¡¯m weak.¡±

    ¡°Oh, so what are we supposed to do now?¡±

    ¡°You guys are still so young with so much raging hormones! You should never be afraid of supernatural things like this! What are you waiting for? Call the police!¡±

    On the other hand, the masked man had finally reached the ground level, as he nted his foot firmly on the ground. He noticed another wave of security guards swarming towards him from the entrance and started cackling non-stop. He simply nted his foot against the wall, before scaling it at top-speed. He looked just like the martial artists from the kungfu films!

    He couldn¡¯t stopughing as he continued making his gravity-defying stunts, ¡°These fools! When will they ever learn to give up?¡±

    Suddenly, he felt an enormous and potent force storming from behind, dragging him all the way up the wall, towards the rooftop.

    ¡°Ah!!!¡±

    The balding security leader was still busy ordering his subordinates when ear-piercing shrieks punctured their conversation. Immediately, they saw the masked man being dragged by an unknown object as he whizzed past them, towards the top.

    The bald man pinched the bridge of his nose and had difficultyprehending what his eyes had seen, ¡°Is that really a ghost?¡±

    The masked man was dragged by his feet all the way to the rooftop. His eyes were glued to the ground which gradually diminished in size as screams and shrieks erupted from him.

    ¡°Let go of me! Who are you? Quicky! Let go of me!¡±

    ¡°You can call me ... the headless horseman!¡± With his fingers wrapped around the masked man¡¯s ankle, Zhao Yao¡¯s raspy and soft voice rang in his head, ¡°You are under arrest.¡±

    The masked man struggled with all his might but it was to no avail. He immediately burst out screaming, ¡°What rights do you have to catch me?¡± As he turned his head around to take a look at Zhao Yao, what he saw sent a chill running down his spine. It was a headless man. He could even see the flesh, meat, and blood oozing at the neck. His chest tightened with fear at this sight.

    At the same time, Zhao Yao had already torn open his bag, revealing the bunch of cameras, lenses, and handphone stashed within.

    Zhao Yao started swinging his body like a pendulum and demanded, ¡°Speak! Who is instigating all of these? Why are you snooping around, take others¡¯ photos?¡± In his head, Zhao Yao was thinking, ¡°I spent so much effort to find this brat! I must squeeze out more missions from him!¡±

    Zhao Yao was praying that a secret organization such as Muscle Society or Ho Hao Cang¡¯s n was behind it. Hopefully, it would blow up into a wide-scale mission.

    ¡°No ... no one told me to do this!¡± Tears welled up in his eyes as he screamed for dear life.

    ¡°Then why did you do it?¡±

    The peeping tom¡¯s face turned crimson as he muttered, ¡°It¡¯s just a hobby. I just like to take photos, that¡¯s all.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes squinted into a line as he continued his interrogation, ¡°Where is your partner hiding at?¡±

    The peeping tom screamed at the top of his voice, ¡°I have no partners! I always act alone!¡±

    ¡°Hmph,¡± Zhao Yao instantly released his grip, sending him crashing towards the ground before catching him midway in his fall.

    The peeping tom instantly burst out in tears. He could only stick his feet against the wall but could not fly at all. This fall would spell instant death.

    He struggled to speak as he continued bawling, ¡°I really have no partners!¡±

    ¡°You are still not speaking the truth?¡± Zhao Yao pretended that he was about to release his grip and asked, ¡°Who is instigating your actions? Speak!¡±

    The peeping tom could no longer take this emotional roller coaster and blurted out, ¡°I¡¯m saying! I¡¯m saying! This is a conspiracy by pornhub. I¡¯m just a tiny pawn in pornhub¡¯s grand scheme!¡±

    Zhao Yao turned his body upside down, staring right into the eyes of the peeping tom. Zhao Yao asked in a calm andposed voice, ¡°Do you find yourself humorous?¡± Obviously, Zhao Yao knew what Pornhub was. It was his favorite site with the most exquisite dynamic human art.

    ¡°Huh?¡± the peeping tom plunged with despair and muttered, ¡°But I really have no partners. It¡¯s just my hobby. I know that it¡¯s immoral to do so but I just can¡¯t help myself!¡±

    ¡°Trash! You dare toe out andmit such atrocity without anyone backing you up? Do you know that you¡¯re just wasting all of our time?¡± Zhao Yao was fuming with anger and vented all his frustration by pping him unconscious. By grabbing the peeping tom by his cors, Zhao Yao sprang back to the ground floor.

    Zhao Yao was unhappy, extremely unhappy. After squatting for close to an hour, he only managed toplete that tiny mission, worth 50 experience points. He thought that this might potentially lead to a huge mission involving well-established organizations.

    Zhao Yao handed the peeping tom over to the bewildered security guard. He took a nce at the marked location on his phone and went straight to the next point of anomaly.

    For the next few days, Zhao Yao resumed his usual routine ¨C watching anime in the day andpleting missions at night. With thebination of Roly Poly¡¯s invisibility, his illusion, and Ares¡¯s deflective field, there was no chance that his identity would be exposed.

    On this particr night, he received the same mission from a few targets located in the point of anomaly.

    ...

    An orange cat was sleeping soundly on a tiny artificial knoll in the middle of the garden. He was coated with a body full of beautiful, glistening fur and had a pair of chubby cheeks coupled with an inted belly. Evidently, this stray cat had plenty of food to eat.

    Actually, he never once had to worry about food the day he awakened his power. Depending on his mood, he would hand pick a few targets to serve him.

    At this moment, he noticed a shadow approaching him from the corner of his eyes. His paws ran across his belly and felt a slight depression in the middle. A thought instantly sprang in his head, ¡°It¡¯s time to get someone to serve me some food.¡±

    He inched towards this approaching shadow and instantlyid directly in front of him, stopping him in his tracks. By lying on his back, the orange cat revealed his sunken belly and mustered his most flirtatious expression.

    Based on his experience, humans¡¯ hearts would instantly melt at this scene before they carried him home, showering him with more than enough love and food.

    ¡°However, I will never belong to a single person. I am a born wanderer. I am destined to spend the rest of my life with many people. How can I ever spend all my time in a single home?¡±

    As expected, the person indeed bent down before cradling him in his arms. At this very moment, the cat lets out an ear-splitting shriek and began struggling with all his might when he noticed the person¡¯s head, or more precisely, theck thereof.

    The cat was barely able to breathe and instantly puffed up his fur instinctively. He just wanted to break free from this headless man¡¯s clutches.

    However, his struggle was suddenly disturbed by a raspy voice ringing in his head, ¡°Fat cat, have youmitted a crime?¡±

    The orange cat stared wide-eyed at this headless man and questioned, ¡°What crime have Imitted?¡±

    Zhao Yao clutched the orange cat firmly against his chest before saying, ¡°You have cheated Wang Yao Hua, of Star Light Elementary School, RMB 300. Haven¡¯t you?¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s words sent shivers down the cat¡¯s spine as he muttered, ¡°You can understand my words?¡±

    ¡°I know a lot more than that.¡± Zhao Yao began listing out the entire list of crime that he hadmitted, ¡°Justst month, you caused a ruckus in the nearby college¡¯s cafeteria. After that, you tricked three college girls to book a hotel room for the purpose of ying with cats. In the end, they woke up realizing that you have stolen their undergarment.

    Two weeks ago, you pretended that you were knocked down by an oing vehicle. Instead, you jumped on the opportunity to flirt with the female driver. From there, you managed to sneak into a private mansion before making three bitches pregnant...¡±

    The orange cat threw his paws in the air and screamed, ¡°That¡¯s not me! How can you just use me ofmitting all these crimes? I¡¯m just an adorable little kitten! I¡¯ve done none of the things you used me of doing!¡±

    Zhao Yao slid the orange cat a sly smile beforementing, ¡°It¡¯s useless to try to deny them. We will know soon enough.¡± With the cat firmly sped in his arms, Zhao Yao started running again.

    ¡°What are you gonna do?¡±

    ¡°Firstly, I¡¯m going to bring you to the college girl so that you can personally apologize to her. Then, we will return the money you owe Wang Yao Hua. Finally, I¡¯ll send you back home to your family. Your kids are about to descend into this beautiful world. I can¡¯t imagine them growing up without their father.¡±

    The orange cat continued his relentless struggle and screamed, ¡°No! I am a born wanderer! I am like the clouds in the sky! How can you expect me to stay at one single ce? This is cat cruelty!¡±

    ¡°Someone! Come!¡±

    ¡°Someone is torturing a cat!¡±

    Zhao Yao sniggered, ¡°You can continue screaming. No one will understand your words regardless of how loud you meow.¡± Hence, Zhao Yao brought the cat along to atone for his mistakes, from apologizing to returning his money and finally meeting his children.

    Obviously, the money came directly from Zhao Yao¡¯s pocket. That cat actually managed to spend all of the money on that same day. Zhao Yao had no idea how this cat managed to spend such a huge amount in barely a few hours.

    When they arrived at the female driver¡¯s mansion, she immediately pounced on the orange cat when she saw Zhao Yao standing at the door, with the cat in his hands. He grabbed the cat from Zhao Yao and broke down, ¡°Romeo! Romeo, you are finally back!¡± Three female cats, without superpower, emerged from a room and huddled around the female driver, meowing incessantly.

    Romeo¡¯s face sagged with despair as he screamed, ¡°No! Quickly let me out of here!¡±

    Meanwhile, Roly Poly, who remained invisible, craned his tiny head out of Zhao Yao¡¯s cor and noticed the three female cats huddling around Romeo. His face turned green with envy as hemented, ¡°Even though they are simply ordinary cats with no intelligence at all, but ... they are still three beautiful female cats. Bastard, why is this guy so lucky?¡±

    After leaving Romeo with his family, Zhao Yao left the ce with anotherpleted mission. Joy welled up in his head as he made his way back.

    This was the most bountiful mission for the day, rewarding Zhao Yao with a total of 200 experience points. It was worth the effort that Zhao Yao had put into it.

    When they were about to leave, Roly Poly could not contain his curiosity and asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, so what exactly is this cat¡¯s superpower?¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin slowly before answering, ¡°Based on my observation, he just leaves an extremely good impression with whoever he meets. However, the effects are still rather weak. Anyone with a hint of resistance could stay totally indifferent to the effects.¡±

    Over the next few days, Zhao Yao persisted on his goal and spent most of his time outside,pleting more missions. Even though he failed to meet anyrge organizations such as Ho Hao Cang or Muscle Society, he did manage to earn a few hundred experience points each day.

    With Zhao Yao¡¯s continuous acts of valor, the headless horseman had soon grown into a household man synonymous with bravery.

    ...

    Within a solemn meeting room, Inspector Ho was presenting a set of slides containing dozens of pictures and maps. Finally, he reached a photo of a man draped in ck robes, but without a head.

    He pointed at the photograph before exining, ¡°Those who are here with us today will be no stranger to this man. He is the new vignte of Jiangmen City. For the past few days, he has taken upon himself to catch more than 20 criminals, which included apostles and supercats. He wants to be known as the headless horseman, but we have given him the codename ¡®No Brain¡¯.¡±

    ¡°All these time, I thought this was just a nutcase running around exacting his vengeance on all these criminals. However, based on all the intel that we have gathered, my preliminary investigation tells me that the man who assaulted Sphynx Cat and destroyed Muscle Society is this guy right here.¡±

    ¡°Based on our recent investigations, we have managed to elucidate a few of his key characteristics. Firstly, he has set his eyes specifically on apostles and supercats. Also, he acts in the name of self-proimed justice. He is on a constant lookout for criminals.¡±

    ¡°Based on the interrogation with the apostles and supercats nabbed by this man, he suffers from a serious case of delusional disorder. He is always looking for this mysterious boss, working behind the scenes.¡±

    At this moment, Inspector Ho¡¯s serious promations were interrupted by the peals ofughter which broke out amongst his colleagues.

    Lin Chen clutched his belly andughed, ¡°Simply put, he is just a narcissistic son of a bitch who wants to get rid of all the evils in this world.¡±

    ¡°Despite his mental disorders, hisbat powers have been proven time and time again from when he destroyed Muscle Society to what he has done these days.¡± Inspector Ho pinched the bridge of his nose before continuing, ¡°You have seen the autopsy report for Butcher. No Brain might be narcissistic, but he is a powerful and scary narcissist.¡±

    ¡°Lin Chen¡± Inspector Ho stared straight at him before ordering, ¡°I am putting you directly in charge of this case. Do not confront him at all costs. Try to find some way to talk to him. See if you can get him to join our side.¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao, who was kept busy with all theseborious tasks, naturally had no idea that his second identity had been targeted by the government.

    The moment he returned home from the caf¨¦, he instantly copsed on the couch.

    ¡°This is so tiring! Work in the day, followed by more work at night! If such a hardworking person like myself made it into the celestial world, I will instantly be the most revered and well-liked deity around.¡±

    Memories of all the missions he hadpleted over the past few days whizzed past his head. Even Zhao Yao started respecting himself for his professionalism and perseverance.

    ¡°I must take a good, long rest after this stupidpetition.¡±

    He took a look at the status of his BOOK and realized that it had grown to lv5(488/10000) from his relentless hard work.

    ¡°Not bad, not bad at all.¡± Exultation surged through him as he muttered, ¡°This means that I can upgrade both Ares and Lucifer before the start of thepetition.¡±

    Zhao Yao had zero intentions to use any other cat¡¯s ability unless he was forced to do so. However, these two cats provided powers that offered impable defensive capabilities. Having the option to secretly use their powers to aid him in the battle was always an ideal option.

    While Zhao Yao was still absorbed in his thoughts, Rice Cake, who was engrossed in his own game, started screaming and jolted Zhao Yao from his concentration. Since picking up this game, Rice Cake had honed her trash talking skills and had learned to speak via the vibration of the air molecules.

    ¡°What the f*ck, another aimbot?¡±Rice Cake retorted, ¡°Your entire family can simply go and die! How dare you kill a woman?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead creased together when he heard that angelic voice spouting all the vulgarities. Thatbination just felt so wrong in the ears. However, he understood how toxic the gaming environment was and it was inevitable that she would pick up these vocabries.

    While Zhao Yao was busy pondering about Rice Cake¡¯s situation, she had started screaming again, ¡°Zhao Yao! Transfer me some money to buy some in-game items!¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes helplessly and answered, ¡°I¡¯ve already told you! Do not spend money on games!¡±

    ¡°Why?¡± Rice Cake was bursting with anger as she continued, ¡°My opponents are crushing me with those weapons! Why can¡¯t I let them have a taste of their own stinky medicine?¡±

    Zhao Yao felt his anger pulsating through his body and retorted, ¡°You will be theughing stock amongst the professionals if they learn that you had to resort to such methods to win.¡±

    Rice Cake remained adamant and replied, ¡°I¡¯m just a cat, and do you think I care?¡±

    Rice Cake¡¯s anger had sent waves sweeping in the surroundings as a chorus erupted, ¡°Buy items! Buy items! Buy items!¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at Rice Cake and realized that she was already vibrating like a buzzing phone. Actually, the entire building had already started to vibrate at a scale that was indiscernible to the regr eyes. However, with his astute observation skills, Zhao Yao had already detected it.

    He knew that he could not afford to let this situation deteriorate, hence he was left with one option. He pacified Rice Cake by saying ¡°Alright, alright. I cannot allow you to spend money on games, but I can impart 20 years of first yer shooting experience to you.¡±

    The tremors instantly stopped. Rice Cake stared wide-eyed at Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°Really?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± Zhao Yao ran his fingers through her fur and exined, ¡°There are only three principles in FPS ¨C speed, uracy, ruthless. However, the most important principle was definitely uracy. You will be invincible with it.¡± As he spoke, he reached his arms towards Rice Cake and cupped both of her ears, ¡°Close your eyes. I am about to impart my years of training to you.¡±

    Rice Cake obediently shut her eyes. After ensuring that she had done just that, Zhao Yao reached for a pen before drawing a crosshair on herputer screen.

    ¡°Alright, I have transferred all my powers to you. From now on, there will always be a gun resting in your heart. Open your eyes and look at the screen. Do you see a crosshair?¡±

    ¡°Oh, my .... It¡¯s really there! I can really see a crosshair that has never been there before!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, just aim at this point in the future.¡±

    After pacifying Rice Cake, Zhao Yao¡¯s attention was immediately brought to a racket in another corner.

    Just five minutes earlier, Roly Poly was busy reading through the contents in his phone as he nced at Mango from time to time, ¡°After your catpletes a task, remember to reward him with food. Hmph, I guess I didn¡¯t prepare enough food thest time.¡±

    He continued reading, ¡°For cats who love to shit and pee wherever their hearts desired, it is crucial that you reward them with food when they pee or shit in the correct ce. If theymit any mistakes, reprimand them with a loud scolding to alert them to their mistakes.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, Mango is exactly the same as the book¡¯s description. I¡¯ll just abide by the training instructions on the book for the next few days. I must reward him with food when he shits or pee in the correct ce. This will help him adopt the correct habits.¡±

    A contented smile crept up Roly Poly¡¯s face at the thought of it, ¡°Zhao Yao hates it when Mango shits all over the ce. He will simply love me to death if I sessfullyplete the mission!¡±

    Suddenly, Matcha noticed a figure approaching the toilet at the corner of his eyes. He was overwhelmed with excitement as he raced towards it with a bag of tidbits dangling from his mouth.

    ¡°Great, I¡¯ll simply feed him with this when he leaves the toilet. This will teach him to adopt the correct toilet practice!¡±

    One minuteter, Mango left the toilet with a piece of shit dangling from his mouth. Roly Poly stared dumbfoundedly at this scene. Mango instantly raced towards Roly Poly the moment he saw him.

    ¡°Don¡¯te near me!¡±

    ¡°Why are you following me?¡±

    Mango began stalking Roly Poly with the shit dangling from his mouth. However, Mango was getting increasingly annoyed as his brows knitted together. He thought that he could always exchange shit for food, but could not understand why Roly Poly was running away this time around.

    Themotion Zhao Yao noticed wasing from Roly Poly and Mango.

    Zhao Yao noticed the lump dangling by Mango¡¯s mouth and he burst out, ¡°Mango! What the hell are you doing?¡±

    Mango was taken aback by Zhao Yao¡¯s sudden outrage and instantly opened his mouth.

    The lump of shit fell to the floor in slow motion which caused Zhao Yao to shake with fury.

    ¡°Mango! You are dead!¡±

    ¡°You too, Roly Poly! You know that Mango is intellectually challenged and yet you want to y with him!¡±

    Roly Poly tried to defend himself but it was to no avail.

    ¡°Get rid of all the mess on the floor! Now!¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s temple throbbed with anger as he went on to wipe the floor. While cleaning, he had set his mind on one goal, ¡°I will not be beaten by this minor setback. Wait for it. I will make Mango submit to me. I will make this training a sess!¡±

    At this moment, a soft fizz rang in the apartment as all the lights went out instantaneously.

    The entire room was enveloped in pitch darkness as all the lights went out simultaneously.

    ¡°Power cut?¡± Zhao Yao stared wide-eyed at his surroundings.

    At the same time, an ear-splitting shriek rang in his ears. The intensity of the scream almost tore the building apart.

    ¡°Zhao Yao!¡± Anger roared through Rice Cake as she eximed at the top of her voice, ¡°Who switched off myputer?¡±

    Zhao Yao suddenly recalled that theputer which Rice Cake used was the traditional desktop. Without a steady flow of electricity, it would instantly shut down.

    Just when he was about to open his mouth, another wave of shrilling shrieks erupted from behind.

    ¡°Ah! Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao!¡± Matcha sounded as if he had been stabbed multiple times. With his paws iling in the air, Matcha ran around the living room as his heart pounded rapidly, ¡°Why is the wifi suddenly gone? I¡¯m about to win this round!¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao!¡± Somehow, Elizabeth had floated in front of Zhao Yao¡¯s face like some sorts of spirits. A red glimmer flickered across her eyes as she mumbled, ¡°Why is the inte gone? I just got to the most important part of the drama!¡±

    This sudden power cut had also attracted Baiquan out of his room as he ran his fingers through his hair and asked, ¡°Boss, why is the electricity suddenly gone?¡±

    Hanako mmed her door open and screamed, ¡°Why is there no inte? Zhao Yao, have you forgotten to pay the inte bills?¡±

    Zhao Yao could only raise his shoulders in a half shrug as he was surrounded by a horde of angry mob, ¡°How am I supposed to know? It¡¯s just some power cut!¡±

    A group of supercats and humans encircled Zhao Yao in the living room, with their eyes glued to him. Zhao Yao whipped out his phone and tried to contact the relevant authorities but it was to no avail. A frown gradually crept up his face as he continued dialing relentlessly, ¡°This line is too busy! I simply can¡¯t get through! My phone is going to explode from this!¡±

    He shook his head before concluding, ¡°Do not worry. Based on my life experiences, such problems will be gone soon. Power should resume in a few hours¡¯ time.¡±

    The lights already came back on before Zhao Yao finished his statement.

    With a grin on his face, Zhao Yao dered, ¡°I told you!¡±

    However, this seemed to the start of a long night. Just half an hourter, the electric supply was disrupted again, which simrly affected the inte. With it, the living room burst out into a chorus of wails.

    The streetmps along the whole street looked as if it were twitching. It would flicker on and off every half an hour, causing Matcha and Rice Cake to cry in pain.

    The second night, Matcha eagerly switched on his phone as he got ready for a new round of game. Halfway through the game, the short circuit disrupted Matcha¡¯s gamey as he smashed his paw against the wall resentfully.

    However, this problem did not persist for the rest of the night, allowing Matcha toplete two games peacefully, despite both ending as a loss. This was until the third game ...

    ¡°Hahaha, I got the haste rune right at the start of the game! I also managed to snag first blood! I¡¯m a genius!¡± Matcha¡¯s fingers continued running around his phone screen as he smiled gleefully. With this huge advantage under his belt, Matcha was confident of capturing the coveted victory.

    However, the living room was enveloped in darkness once again, implying another short circuit.

    ¡°No!¡± Matcha copsed to the ground as he let out an agonizing moan, ¡°Why? God, why do you have to do this to me?¡±

    ¡°Ah!¡± Rice Cake¡¯s body began trembling violently atop the chair. The chair was on the verge of breaking because of her.

    ¡°D*mn it!¡± Zhao Yao was in the middle of PUBG. His eyes burned with fury when he noticed that he had disconnected from the game.

    He immediately picked up the phone from the table and began contacting the authorities. He went online and realized that this short-circuiting was not as simple as it seemed. The entire northern half of Jiangmen City was submerged in the problem. All kinds of spections floated in the air but the government remained silent about the problem.

    ¡°This kind of thing ...¡± Suddenly, Zhao Yao¡¯s brows knitted together as he muttered, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me this is connected to supercats.¡±

    Rice Cake wailed, ¡°Zhao Yao! Quickly fix the problem!¡±

    ¡°I will die without wifi!¡± Matcha dered as he began rolling along the length of the couch.

    Simrly, Hanako and Baiquan had left their rooms with disappointment sagging through their bodies.

    Baiquan let out a long sigh beforementing, ¡°I was in the middle of my live stream.¡±

    Sensing their abject disappointment, Zhao Yao took out theptop from his drawer andforted them, ¡°This is a blessing in disguise! Let¡¯s watch a movie together!¡± Thankfully, theptop was fully charged, making it ideal for such situations.

    Hence, all of them huddled together on the couch as they watched the movie from Zhao Yao¡¯sptop.

    However, this power cut was especially long. Electricity did not resume even after theptop run out of juice.

    Matcha kneeled on the ground and threw his paws in the air, ¡°Zhao Yao, when is the electricity returning?¡±

    Rice Cake chimed in, ¡°You said that the electricity woulde back at the end of the movie!¡±

    Zhao Yao could only smile awkwardly and replied, ¡°Soon, it will be back soon.¡±

    Four hourster ...

    Matcha¡¯s bodyid t on the couch as his blood-shot eyes stared straight at the ceiling. He seemedpletely devoid of spirit and energy.

    Elizabeth was resting on the couch with an eye mask resting on her face. She was entertaining herself with her illusions.

    Roly Poly, Dust Ball, Mango, and Lightning were lying on the floor aimlessly.

    Suddenly, Mango reached his paw towards a colorful ball before mming it in Dust Ball¡¯s direction. Dust Ball noticed it and pped it towards Lightning before he bounced it towards Roly Poly.

    Roly Poly watched as the ball slowed down before stopping directly in front of him. He stared dumfoundedly at it before mumbling, ¡°What do you want me to do? Why do I have to y with this ball?¡±

    Lightning retorted, ¡°Fatso, it¡¯s your turn! p the ball!¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s forehead creased together as he pped the ball towards Dust Ball unwillingly.

    At the same time, the entire cat nation had been enveloped in chaos and screams. Without recharging the generator for such a long time, the extradimensional belly was submerged in darkness since 10 minutes ago.

    All sorts of screams and roars erupted in the ce.

    Zhao Yao curled his lips in disgust as he refreshed the webpage. However, there were no updates on the matter.

    Finally, he could no longer tolerate this nonsense and decided to give Inspector Ho a call, ¡°Hey, Inspector Ho, what the hell is going on? Why is this power cut taking so long?¡±

    It was so noisy over at Inspector Ho¡¯s end. He simply screamed into his phone when he heard Zhao Yao, ¡°Why did you call me about a power cut? I don¡¯t even provide electricity! However, you have to thank your lucky stars, this power cut should be the work of either an apostle or supercat.¡±

    ¡°The power of electricity?¡± Zhao Yao continued, ¡°Then what are you waiting for? If this power cut continues, it would cause social unrest, shaking the very foundation of this nation!¡±

    Inspector Ho replied helplessly, ¡°We want to solve the problem but this guy is secretly stealing the power underground. It¡¯s extremely difficult to locate him. You just have to wait patiently.¡±

    Zhao Yao instantly hanged up. In the middle of their conversation, Matcha had already mmed his paw against Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulder before speaking viciously, ¡°So someone is sabotaging? Zhao Yao, how can you let them go? Catch them and restore the power supply!¡±

    At the same time, Elizabeth had thrown her eye mask to the ground and screamed, ¡°Yes, you must catch this bad guy! After that, feed him with shit until he dies!¡±

    Mission: Stop the power cut!

    Objective: Catch the mastermind behind this episode and restore electricity to Jiangmen City.

    Reward: 1000 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    Zhao Yao stared at the exmation marks and whispered to himself, ¡°Finally, a bountiful mission.¡±

    He pounded his chest confidently as he stared at the supercats, ¡°Let¡¯s go and capture this brat right now! No ...¡±

    Suddenly, Inspector Ho¡¯s words rang in his ears. Zhao Yao required Gaia¡¯s help since the opponent was hiding underground. Zhao Yao clearly remembered that he had the power to do just that.

    Zhao Yao absorbed himself in the belly following a wave of ripples permeating the air.

    After exining the situation to the cats, they immediately broke out into protests.

    ¡°He shall not be forgiven! ¡°Gaia¡¯s body emanated a vicious aura as he screamed, ¡°How can he stoop to such a level? Zhao Yao, bring me out now! I¡¯m going to catch him and shred him to pieces!¡±

    Ares tagged along, ¡°Bring me too! I wanna destroy that guy!¡±

    Catherine and Diana joined in the chorus, ¡°We also want to go! He cannot be forgiven! This is an atrocious crime!¡±

    Zhao Yao waved his arms in the air before announcing, ¡°Alright, all of you, do not get too agitated. There¡¯s no point sending so many cats out for this mission. I only need Gaia and the cats part of the supercat armor.¡±

    A few minutester, Zhao Yao was standing on the rooftop, with Matcha, Elizabeth, Roly Poly, Dust Ball, Gaia, Ares, F¨±jin, and Uncle Egg all over him.

    Considering the long journey ahead, Zhao Yao decided to go without Mango. On the other hand, Matcha volunteered for this mission.

    ¡°Supercat Armor! Activate!¡±

    Zhao Yao jumped from the rooftop and came crashing towards the ground. Instead of colliding with it, he simply went through it as if it were water.

    With Gaia¡¯s power activated, Zhao Yao¡¯s body instantly passed through theyers of concrete beneath him effortlessly. The earth, soil, and cement were just like fluid brushing across his body. Not only did they allow him to speed through with no resistance, they even propelled him forward.

    Zhao Yao still remained in his original form: the headless horseman draped in his ck robes.

    ¡°Even though our objective is underground, but where exactly is it?¡±

    After slightly more than ten minutes of futile search, Zhao Yao could not help but furrowed his forehead slightly, ¡°This ce is huge! Where am I supposed to start my search?¡±

    Uncle Egg raised his paw in the air andmented, ¡°I can detect its presence.¡±

    ¡°Huh? Really?¡± Zhao Yao stared at Uncle Egg in amazement before concluding, ¡°This concerns the electrical system. On the other hand, you have the power to control electricity. Furthermore, the person who stole this electricity would wield a simr power as well. It makes sense that you are able to detect its presence.¡±

    With his eyes shut, Uncle Egg nodded his head and continued, ¡°Yes. I can sort of feel an intense yet vtile force in a distance. It seems to being from the north-east direction.¡±

    ¡°Wow, is it really that urate? Can he actually detect the minute changes in the electric field or the maic field?¡± Zhao Yao decided to take a leap of faith and proceeded in the direction Uncle Egg pointed to.

    Five minutester, Zhao Yao craned his neck slowly from the surface of the earth. He looked at his surroundings but was greeted by a piece of barrennd. With his brows knitted together, he asked, ¡°Uncle Egg, did you just randomly point in a direction?¡±

    A simr frown appeared on Uncle Egg¡¯s face as hemented, ¡°I think my senses have deteriorated with old age. I¡¯m sure my precision and uracy would be far better if I had superior catmint.¡±

    Dust Ball heard Uncle Egg¡¯s words and knew exactly what idea he was hatching. She threw Uncle Egg a death re before threatening him, ¡°Old man, if you ever dare to take away my catmint, I¡¯ll make sure that¡¯s thest thing that you ever do.¡±

    In reality, the supercats inside the belly had long noticed the catmint Dust Ball had been busy attending to.

    Under the illumination of Light of Creation, the catmint produced an aroma that cannot bepared elsewhere. Uncle Egg had long set his eyes on these mouth-watering catmint. However, he had no opportunity to steal it with Dust Ball guarding it 24/7.

    Uncle Egg could only let out an awkwardugh when he heard those threats. He looked towards Zhao Yao and said, ¡°It¡¯s natural for old cats like me to be forgetful. Catmint is an ideal supplement that would allow me to think fast and think clear. It would even improve my sensory skills..¡±

    Bam!

    Within a split second, Zhao Yao had already grabbed a handful of catmint and stuffed it down Uncle Egg¡¯s throat. Dust Ball could only look on with despair.

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Are you feeling better now?¡±

    ¡°Hmph...¡± Uncle Egg chewed and chewed as the fragrance and vors exploded in his mouth. A contented smile appeared on his face as he whispered, ¡°You still have to travel southwards a little more.¡±

    ....

    Meanwhile, ten shadows were darting across an underground cable duct.

    This team was led by Lin Chen andprised of government apostles with the power of extreme speed. The naked eye would not even be able to notice their presence because of their speed.

    Suddenly, everyone came to a standstill.

    Lin Chen took a nce at the monitor of a surveince system before instructing his team, ¡°Everyone, be on your toes. We are near our objective.¡±

    One of his subordinates looked towards him and asked, ¡°Captain, did that guy try to escape again?¡±

    Lin Chen shook his head. The surveince system in his hands could urately detect any changes in the surrounding¡¯s maic field, identifying the target¡¯s location and presence.

    Despite their agility, the opponent still managed to slip right through their fingers during the past few missions.

    For some unknown reason, the opponent did not escape this time around. Lin Chen felt something amiss as a shiver ran down his spine.

    ¡°Everyone, be careful. Remember to check your equipment and supplies.¡±

    Their arms swept across their bodies before revealing an entire arsenal of weapons, including guns coupled with anesthetic bullets,rge-caliber pistol, and even automatic rifle. Knowing that the opponent wielded the power of electricity, they even donned on an instion suit.

    The anesthetic bullets were specially reserved for the supercat. Preserving the lives of the supercat was far more important than killing the enemy.

    The pistol and rifle were saved for the apostle. Even though their powers coulde in a myriad of forms, most apostles remained extremely defenseless in the face of lead.

    Half a minuteter, their eyes were blinded by a dazzling beam of light. They had arrived at a gigantic underground bunker which was the source of the dazzling light. The blinding light began flickering incessantly in front of them.

    ¡°You guys have arrived far earlier than I expected.¡±

    Lin Chen and his team swept their heads towards the source of the voice simultaneously. A man, floating in mid-air, weed them by spreading his arms in the air. His body was surrounded by bolts of current circting him at warp speed. The currents punctured the air, producing a harsh grating noise. They looked just like the dragons from Lin Chen¡¯s position.

    Everyone realized just how dangerous this apostle was judging from this scene alone. A vast amount of energy was required to create this astounding scene. The instion suit would not hold a candle to this man.

    Lin Chen and a few other subordinates were the first to react to the situation. Instinctively, they whipped out the pistols from their holsters and swung their rifles forward. Ten firearms pointed straight at that man¡¯s position before a rain of bulletsnded on him. Normally, this could instantly shred any man to pieces but somehow all the bullets deviated from their trajectories, missing the target.

    ¡°How naughty,¡± The man replied in his broken Mandarin. He pointed his index finger at Lin Chen before muttering, ¡°Piu.¡±

    A jolt of electricity shot out of his fingertips and went straight for Lin Chen¡¯s team.

    ¡°Spread!¡± Lin Chen had already reacted the moment the man spoke. Everyone sprang in all directions, narrowly escaping the wraths of his power.

    Immediately, Lin Chen¡¯s team had already gathered themselves beforemencing their next onught of attack. Bullets poured out of their weapons but all of them were thrown off-course by the influence of the maic field. None of them even hit him.

    The metal casing of the anesthetic bullets rendered thempletely futile by his power.

    The man revealed a devilish smile when inundated by these useless attacks, ¡°Apostles of Jiangmen City, are you really that weak?¡± Jolts of electricity continued shooting out of his fingertips as he sent them scrambling in all directions like rats.

    Lin Chen sniggered, ¡°I¡¯ll listen to you if you actually manage to escape from us.¡±

    Even though they could not break past the opponent¡¯s defense, the opponent¡¯s reaction and speed also failed to catch up to them. All they had to do was to buy time for their reinforcements to appear.

    The man could onlyugh when he heard Lin Chen¡¯s insolent words. Using his broken Mandarin, he continued, ¡°Chinese people ... do you even know ... how fast light travels?¡±

    The next moment, a giant beam of light descended from the ceiling before enveloping the bunker. A thunderous boom quickly followed behind before as an irksome stench flooded the room.

    One singlerge-scale lightning attack was enough to send the apostles crashing to the ground.

    Evidently, the electric charges released had sessfully punctured the air particles and pierced through their instion suit. However, it only managed to paralyze them due to the low voltage.

    Lin Cheny on the floor motionlessly with the odor of the unbearable stench permeating the ce. His entire body was struck numb by the anesthetics. He could not move a single inch despite how fast he was.

    The man, with bolts of electricity running across his body, slid Lin Chen a condescending re, ¡°Are you Lin Chen of Jiangmen City? I have heard great things about you. I heard that you are pretty fast. However, you can never be faster than the speed of light no matter how fast you are.¡±

    Lin Chen¡¯s brows knitted together tightly. He only managed to avoid the opponent¡¯s attacks by using his superb premonition skills. Before each attack, Lin Chen had already sensed iting and managed to avoid it narrowly by making the first move.

    However, there was no room for escape in arge-scale attack exhibited just now.

    That man did not leave after taking the government apostles down. With his hand grabbing onto the bundle of exposed electrical cables, numerous jolts of electricity exploded all over the ce. His entire body was illuminated as if he were a light bulb.

    A few minutester, Lin Chen had already begun recovering some of his mobility. The opponent only used a small amount of current which exined the minor injuries received.

    Just when Lin Chen¡¯s fingers were trembling in the air, the man¡¯s voice once again rang in the air, ¡°I am warning you ... it¡¯s better that you do not move ...¡±

    With his eyes glued on that man, Lin Chen triedmunicating with him, ¡°Who are you? Why are you stealing electricity?¡±

    ¡°You can call me Mike. You know that I¡¯m just here for a little bit of electricity. You don¡¯t have to worry. I¡¯ll be gone soon.¡±

    Lin Chen retorted, ¡°You won¡¯t be able to escape. My reinforcements are arriving already!¡±

    Mike cackled and replied, ¡°Haven¡¯t you already realized that your extreme speed is meaningless to me? My power is the nemesis of yours.¡±

    A muscle in Lin Chen¡¯s jaw twitched but he chose to remain silent.

    However, Lin Chen¡¯s silence somehow excited Mike as he began announcing impassionedly, ¡°You Chinese are truly too conservative. I¡¯ve heard that many countries have already begun constructing a wide-scale apostle army. Meanwhile, your current government continues to adopt such a strict position towards this! You willg behind everyone!¡±

    At this moment, a ck shadow emerged directly from the ground. It was like a spirit that could travel across solid matters.

    The electric currents running through Mike¡¯s body began flickering when he noticed the appearance of this unexpected guest before asking, ¡°Who are you? What power do you have?¡±

    Finally, he had a clear view of this mysterious figure. It was a man, a headless man.

    Lin Chen, who remained sprawled across the floor, took a good look at Zhao Yao¡¯s appearance and suppressed a scream, ¡°No Brain? Why is he suddenly here?¡±

    Zhao Yao swept his eyes across the bunker and understood the exact situation instantly. With his headless body positioned towards Mike, he asked in a raspy voice, ¡°You are the one stealing electricity?¡±

    Mike smiled amiably when he noticed the anger in Zhao Yao¡¯s voice. The flickering on him intensified as he continued absorbing more electricity before replying, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You seem pretty angry. Don¡¯t tell me you are interested in a fight against me?¡± Mike was more than confident now that he was fully charged with electricity.

    Zhao Yao maintained his cool and replied in that same voice, ¡°it is not considered a fight when it is one-sided.¡±

    At the same time, all his supercats had already turned extremely agitated.

    ¡°It¡¯s that guy!¡± Matcha roared with his finger dangling in his direction, ¡°We don¡¯t have to abide by the rules when we are facing a scum like him. We will take him on all at once and destroy him!¡±

    The smile evaporated from Mike¡¯s face when he heard Zhao Yao¡¯s smug response. Immediately, beams of light shot out of his eyes.

    ¡°Stupid fellow, you are simply ...¡±

    The next moment, he had already copsed to the floor, bawling in pain. Firstly, blood was oozing from the numerous cuts on his face. During the timefreeze, Matcha began his onught of scratch at six times his normal speed.

    When he opened his mouth, he vomited a pool of yellow fluid. That was Matcha¡¯s work when he peed in his mouth during the timefreeze.

    Matcha roared, ¡°D*mn it, if not for you going around stealing electricity, I would already have been a legend!¡±

    Mike¡¯s brain had already exploded with fury when he vomited the pool of urine. However, his body had already begun sinking into the ground with Gaia¡¯s power. Gaia stared viciously at him and screamed, ¡°This is the price you pay for taking my electricity!¡±

    All these time, Ares had enveloped all the supercats within his impregnable deflective field, protecting them from the effects of Mike¡¯s attacks.

    F¨±jin¡¯s power mmed into his groin which put a pause to his incessant vomiting when he let out an ear-piercing scream and threw his arms in the air.

    ¡°Fool! What have you done to me!¡± He suffered from all sorts of injuries all over his body. The intense stench continued lingering in his mouth while his body remained stuck in concrete. His temples throbbed with rage as he roared, ¡°You have truly infuriated me!¡±

    From the looks of it, it seemed like the headless horseman was behind every single attack.

    The jolts of electricity continued encircling his body at an insane speed but they grew brighter and brighter. They looked just like mini suns orbiting his body.

    Ares cleared his throat before shouting, ¡°Hokuto Shinten Rai!¡± With his balled fists hanging in the air, Ares mmed them down as Mike was thrust further underground following a loud thud.

    The blinding bolts of electricity had been released by Mike as they zoomed across the underground bunker at warp speed.

    ¡°You ... you!¡± The electricity continued illuminating his head, turning him into a human shlight. He continued fuming with anger but there was nothing he could do with his entire body except for his head buried underground.

    However, that head was exactly what Elizabeth needed. With a dryugh, Elizabeth swung her paws in the air and sent a wave of illusion swarming in his direction.

    ¡°The illusion of Elizabeth¡¯s sorrow!¡±

    With the activation of Elizabeth¡¯s attack, a series of heart-wrenching pain pierced into Mike¡¯s body, plunging him into utter despair.

    With a sly smile on her face, Elizabethmented, ¡°This is the ultimate culmination of Game of Thrones, Autumn in my Heart, Secret Garden, My Love from the Star, Winter Sonata ... A total of 7749 gut-wrenching episodes all crystallized within this illusion. Experience my pain!¡±

    Suddenly, Mike¡¯s eyes turned red as tears welled up in it, ¡°D*mn it, why do I suddenly feel so sad? I just want to cry!¡± This wave of sadness had dampened his urge to fight. As a result, the jolts of electricity dimmed down and turned fainter.

    The tears welled up in his eyes began sliding down his cheeks, before falling to the ground. The soft sobbing soon turned into an all-out bawling.

    The surrounding people stared at this ridiculous scene dumbfoundedly. Lin Chen thought, ¡°I never expected him to be so emotional.¡± He struggled to turn his head around, only to see the headless horseman standing at the exact spot because of Roly Poly¡¯s power of invisibility. He had torn Mike down with this series of punches.

    Matcha and the remaining cats could not bear to continue with their attacks when they saw how affected Mike was.

    Matcha lifted his shoulders in a half shrug andmented, ¡°I only peed in your mouth. Do you have to act in this manner?¡±

    Ares looked in F¨±jin¡¯s direction and asked, ¡°Did you identally injure his genitals during the previous attack?¡±

    F¨±jin shook his head violently before concluding, ¡°I don¡¯t think he¡¯s crying because of physical pain.¡±

    Zhao Yao was left speechless by this man¡¯s behavior before muttering, ¡°Hey, you are already a grown man. Is there really a need to cry so much?¡±

    ¡°I ... I have no idea why I am crying!¡± The man struggled toplete his sentence before he resumed bawling.

 Chapter 307: The End

    <h4>Chapter 307: The End</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao was left speechless as he continued watching him cry his hearts out, ¡°Why do you have to cry?¡± He took a nce at his mission panel and realized that he had alreadypleted the mission,ting him 1000*2 experience points.

    Actually, Mike was a rather powerful apostle on his own. However, he stood zero chance against Zhao Yao and his gang of supercats.

    ¡°How am I supposed to know ...¡± Mike wiped off the snot dangling from his nose before continuing, ¡°I ... I just feel so unhappy!¡±

    Lin Chen and the rest beganughing when they heard his silly remarks before Zhao Yao interrupted them abruptly, ¡°Why are you guys evenughing? You were trounced by this man here and you still have the cheek tough at him?¡±

    The smiles instantly evaporated from their faces as awkwardness clouded their features.

    Zhao Yao then switched his attention back to Mike and asked, ¡°Do you have anypanion or some sort of mastermind supporting your operations? What is your real intention behind this wide-scale power failure? Speak!¡±

    Lin Chen suppressed a smile when he heard the headless horseman¡¯s words. True to the rumors, he loved prying the culprit for his aplice or mastermind.

    Mike continued sobbing non-stop as he struggled to reply, ¡°It¡¯s pointless asking me! I .... I cannot tell you anything!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes immediately sparked with excitement. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

    Just when he was about to resort to his most unscrupulous method to elicit a response from Mike, Mike¡¯s face immediately copsed with terror as his expression revealed abject fear and despair, ¡°No! No! No!¡±

    The next moment, all the bolts of electricity circling his body escaped from him like an uncaged beast. With pairs of eyes staring at him, the electricity Mike had been absorbing for the past few days finally broke free from him before impaling right through his body, burning him to a crisp.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead creased together when he saw this unexpected turn of events, ¡°Did the supercat take back its power?¡±

    He knew that was the only logical exnation behind this phenomenon. Without the power to control electricity, such amount of current was simply too much for any ordinary human which exined his demise.

    ¡°So this apostle here is just a tiny little pawn? Instant death awaited him the moment his identify was exposed?¡± Zhao Yao observed the body that had already been burnt charred as a tinge of sympathy crossed his face.

    Electrocution by this amount of electricity would certainly spell instant death. With half his body burnt to this extent, there was a high chance that his brain was in the same state. Even Lucifer¡¯s power of super-regeneration would not be able to revive Mike.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s heart sank when he realized that there was a scheming and evil mastermind behind all of it. This meant that Jiangmen City was simply moments away from the next wide-scale power cut.

    At the same time, the mission panel had reflected a new mission.

    Mission: Capture the mastermind!

    Objective: Capture the man behind Mike¡¯s death!

    Reward: 2000 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    Zhao Yao secretly nodded his head when he epted the mission. He had already set his mind to exact revenge for Mike even before the mission appeared.

    This mastermind was simply killing and causing power cut ording to his whims and fancies. It was preposterous. Zhao Yao would never rest in peace if that man continued lurking in the shadows.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Zhao Yao screamed at his supercats telepathically before getting ready to leave.

    Lin Chen immediately reacted to him and interrupted Zhao Yao by screaming, ¡°No Brain, wait!¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    Even though Lin Chen could not see Zhao Yao¡¯s hear nor expression, he could vividly sense the murderous aura swarming in his direction. He immediately changed his choice of words, ¡°Headless horseman, can I seek a word with you?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s there to talk about?¡±

    Lin Chen dangled a bait in Zhao Yao¡¯s face, ¡°Aren¡¯t you a chivalrous man? If you act alone, you will not have enough intel. On the other hand, we have some information to share with you which will save you lots of trouble.¡±

    This was the n which Inspector Ho and Lin Chen had agreed upon after analyzing the intel regarding ¡®No Brain¡¯.

    ¡®No Brain¡¯ was no ordinary man, especially the way he thought. They knew that ordinary baits such as money or benefits would pay no dividends to this man. Instead, they had to act ording to his interests.

    Since he loved to restore peace and prosperity to the society, they would offer this exact opportunity to him.

    Lin Chen continued, ¡°You can work with us while remaining anonymous. With the information from the government, you will be able to know everything that you wish to know ...¡±

    Zhao Yao considered the proposition carefully and found it rather enticing. If he was able to obtain some information from Inspector Ho¡¯s side under this guise, it would be far more efficient than blindly searching for missions.

    With it, Zhao Yao immediately shot out, ¡°Have you watched Batman?¡±

    Lin Chen was bbergasted by his weird question.

    ¡°If you wish to contact me, just project a light on the roof of the police headquarters. Do it the same way as Batman.¡± By using his power, only Lin Chen could hear Zhao Yao¡¯s voice, ¡°When I see the light in the sky, I¡¯lle over immediately. Only one person cane up and speak to me.¡±

    As he spoke, Gaia had already activated his power as Zhao Yao began submerging into the depths of the concrete.

    ....

    ¡°You? He wants us to call him over using the bat signal?¡± Inspector Ho mmed his arms onto his table as he stared at Lin Chen in disbelief, ¡°You actually believe his words? You¡¯ve simply watched too much Batman!¡±

    Lin Chen replied, ¡°But you can¡¯tpare ¡®No Brain¡¯ to an ordinary human¡¯s behavior, maybe he was really telling the truth! This gives us an opportunity to establish contact with him with minimal opportunity costs! I think there¡¯s no harm trying at all.¡±

    ¡°Also, have you even read the report that I submitted? No Brain is far stronger than we have imagined.¡±

    ¡°Nonsense!¡± Inspector Ho shook his head and replied, ¡°We are an official government organization. How can we maintain contact with criminal using such methods?¡±

    ...

    Two hourster, on the rooftop of the police headquarters.

    ¡°D*mn it, I¡¯m really stupid.¡± Inspector Ho squatted by a giant floodlight as he shivered violently against the winter winds.

    He had carefully ced a few metal tes on the floodlight to project the letter ¡®h¡¯ in the air, just as promised.

    He could only inch towards the floodlight for warmth. He began rubbing his bald head impatiently as he continued shuddering andmented, ¡°Why is that nutcase still not here yet?¡±

    The second night, Zhao Yao came over with his te of delicacies, conjured by his illusions. He slid Inspector Ho a weird nce before asking, ¡°Look at your dark circle! Rough night?¡±

    Inspector Ho was fuming with anger after the entire night spent on the chilly rooftop for nothing, ¡°I met a dumb fool and caught a cold.¡± Simrly, he slid Zhao Yao an equally weird nce and asked, ¡°Your dark circles are pretty serious as well.¡±

    Zhao Yao spent the entire nightpleting new missions and replied with a shook of his head, ¡°I spent my night taking care of the people.¡±

    He took another nce at Inspector Ho and thought, ¡°I should just depend on myself for intel for the time being.¡± He had already established a rather close rtionship with the government officials. Using headless horseman¡¯s identity would simply create opportunities for mistakes.

    His reason for creating this alias was simply to avoid trouble and he had no reason to divert from his original purpose.

    Days whizzed past as Zhao Yao spent his timepleting more missions, watching anime and preparing cat rice.

    The date of the first cat kingpetition also inched closer, day by day.

 Chapter 308: Juicy Forum

    <h4>Chapter 308: Juicy Forum</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    One day before the officialmencement of cat kingpetition, Zhao Yao was standing beneath a magnolia tree, browsing the contents of the cat forum.

    Opposite him stood Zhao Xue, who was in the midst of her intense training, as she continued sparring with the magically conjured Matcha.

    Zhao Yao realized that this tform was not restricted to cat kings of the respective districts. Many apostles and supercats had sessfully entered. Zhao Yao suspected that the cat king of the north had started distributing his superphones to them.

    However, this made the forum way livelier than before with all sorts ofments flying through the ce.

    One particr thread was exceptionally popr, bursting with replies. The thread was titled, hot favorites for this year¡¯s cat kingpetition.

    ¡°Oh, that is something that I should be looking at. I must do my homework and gain a better understanding of my uing opponents.¡±

    He began by reading the first post on the tread, ¡°The current Jiangmen City was unlike the past, with all sorts of powerful apostles and supercats roaming the streets. However, only one person will prevail and clinch the title of cat king. That person is none other than Chimera.¡±

    A reply popped up, ¡°Who is Chimera?¡±

    Another reply quickly followed behind, ¡°You don¡¯t even know who is Big Bro Chimera? He could easily burn the entire city to a crisp if he wishes to.¡±

    Zhao Yao curled his lips in disgust and muttered, ¡°Exaggeration! However, this name sounds so familiar. Isn¡¯t this the cat which the Japanese brought in previously?¡± Zhao Yao suddenly recalled that this was the fire-breathing cat which Nanami brought from Japan. However, Chimera had gone missing since that incident.

    Zhao Yao can¡¯t believe that Chimera had turned into a cat king during this period and it¡¯s even participating in thepetition.

    Another reply popped up, ¡°King Hanada! He is a well-respected cat king who embodies the perfect culmination of wit and strength. I will submit unconditionally to his rule if he were to be the cat king of Jiangmen City.¡±

    ¡°Who even cares about what others think of him? Are you still living in some godforsaken era? The Cat King of the North is definitely the richest amongst them all. With him as the cat king, we will not have to fret for food or water!¡±

    ¡°The four cat kings have already said that they weren¡¯t participating. In my opinion, the headless horseman stands a good chance.¡± A smile crept up Zhao Yao¡¯s face when he read thatment as he secretly left a like.

    ¡°What¡¯s so good about the headless horseman? All he knows is to catch those petty thieves. Last time, I saw one pair of apostle and cat leading an entire army, but I¡¯ve no idea if they¡¯re participating.¡±

    ¡°All the catsbined together will not hold a candle to Saint Cat!¡±

    ¡°Emperor Cat isughing at all of your silly arguments!¡±

    Suddenly, a ck curtain descended on the screen once again. Zhao Yao rolled his eyes instinctively. He knew exactly whatmercial awaited him.

    Immediately, a ck and white cat ambled forward with a bowl of cat rice dangling by its mouth.

    ¡°Have you thought of what to give for the uing new year celebration? Fret not, we have the perfect gift for you!¡±

    ¡°Northern cat cat food, your trusted partner.¡±

    Zhao Yao finally endured through themercial as he began sifting through the forum.The forum abounded in information of participating supercats, turning it into a marketce for a squabble. However, this had allowed Zhao Yao to gain an insight into the situation in Jiangmen City.

    There were three supercats which were widely expected to sweep thepetition. They were Chimera, Saint Cat, and Emperor Cat.

    These cats were involved in a fewrge-scale operations and were thrown into the limelight ever since. With theirrge fan base, it was natural that they enjoyed the greatest fanfare for their participation.

    While he was busy scanning through the messages, Zhao Yao noticed Zhao Xue stopping in her tracks. He raised his head and noticed her gasping for breath, with beads of sweat falling from her body.

    ¡°Done with practice?¡± Zhao Yao muttered while nodding his head. With one finger running across his phone, he controlled Matcha¡¯s illusion and said, ¡°I guess that¡¯s it for today. I will give you the power of invisibility for you to return.¡± With that, he instantly shook Roly Poly awake with a kick to his belly.

    Roly Poly struggled to open his heavy eyelids before letting out a long and loud yawn.

    However, Zhao Xue¡¯s face was a mixture of confusion and hesitation when she whispered, ¡°King George, there is something that I wish to tell you but I¡¯m not sure how to put it across.¡±

    ¡°Then just keep it to yourself.¡±

    ¡°But it¡¯s better if I say it out.¡±

    Zhao Yao instantly rolled his eyes. He abhorred heart to heart conversations with girls.

    Zhao Xue sat on a bench and immediately poured her emotions out and eximed, ¡°I broke up with my girlfriend!¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s right eyebrow instantly shot upwards as a thought crossed his mind, ¡°Is she no longer interested in females?¡±

    Zhao Xue continued by saying, ¡°I have no idea why but the feelings I had for her previously simply vanished into thin air. Maybe, it¡¯s because I have fallen for someone else.¡±

    ¡°Someone else?¡± mes of curiosity shot across Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes as he continued prying, ¡°Who is it?¡±

    Images of that tall, strong yet beautiful back view flooded her head. Her cheeks turned crimson at the thought of it as she muttered, ¡°I have no idea if she shares the same feelings as me. Furthermore, what if she isn¡¯t even interested in females in the first ce?¡±

    ¡°How can a guy possibly not fall in love with a beautiful girl like you ...¡±Suddenly, Zhao Yao¡¯s jaw went ck as he began pondering.

    He began dissecting the words Zhao Xue said and noticed the word, she. He bit his lower lip and whispered into Zhao Xue¡¯s ears, ¡°A woman?¡±

    ¡°Hmph,¡± Zhao Xue seemed somewhat embarrassed to admit, ¡°It¡¯s Guang Yu. King George, you should know her! She was the one who saved me!¡±

    Zhao Yao threw his arms in the air before facepalming himself. His head was in total,plete chaos.

    Roly Poly¡¯s original expressionless face was soon reced with a pair of giant eyes and a face full of excitement. His mouth trembled, ¡°Has my sister fallen for me?¡±

    Zhao Yao still had difficulty processing this information. He shook his head violently as if it could change what his sister had said.

    ¡°No, it can¡¯t be like this! How can it be?¡± Zhao Yao pinched the bridge of his nose and asked again, ¡°Why have you fallen for her?¡±

    ¡°It started when I first saw her. I just find her especially dependable. She is my prince charming who saved me from distress. I just want to lie on her shoulders for the rest of my life.

    Also, her back view is so pretty and handsome at the same time. The dress that she woreplemented her perfectly! This is the first time I¡¯ve seen such a handsome woman wearing such a feminine dress.¡±

    Every word she uttered was like a knife stabbing into Zhao Yao¡¯s heart, ¡°You should give up. I heard that she likes man, not woman. She will never fall for you.¡±

    However, Zhao Xue remained adamant, ¡°I do not need her to fall for me. I just want to meet her onest time, to thank her for saving my life.¡±

    Zhao Xue knew that Guang Yu was King George¡¯s apostle. Hence, he was herst shot at meeting her savior. She had kept this all to herself until today. She just had to let it out.

    ¡°Stop thinking about her!¡± Zhao Yao interrupted her rudely, ¡°She already has a boyfriend! Furthermore, she is already a mother of three!¡±

    Zhao Yao did not wait for her response but simply left Zhao Xue alone, overwhelmed with disappointment.

    Zhao Yao could not help but ponder during the journey home, ¡°D*mn it, how can such a thing possibly happen? I need toe up with a good solution. I¡¯ll just start with the cold treatment.¡±

    Furthermore, Zhao Yao was just one day away from themencement of thepetition. He had no time to concentrate on this frivolous matter. He prayed that Zhao Xue would get over her.

    Back home, Zhao Yaomenced his final sprint.

    After two weeks of grueling preparation, his BOOK finally read lv5(7308/10000).

    ¡°It¡¯s enough for me to upgrade!¡±

 Chapter 309: The Night Before

    <h4>Chapter 309: The Night Before</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Meanwhile, on the very same day, hundreds of cats were strewn all over the floor of an underground bunker in Hanada district. Some were running around while others were busy sniffing their catmint. Some were just tussling with one another.

    Fish Ball stood in the middle, with a spectrum of lights shining from his palms. The lights illuminated the ce like a disco ball, turning the underground bunker into a dance floor.

    ¡°Everyone, put your hands in the air!¡±

    Meow!

    At least 18 cats responded to Fish Ball¡¯s calls as they went on their feet and raved to the beat while eximing, ¡°Long Live King Noodle!¡±

    At the foot of the throneid a pile of catmint. On it was Noodle with his entourage of female cats. They surrounded him and showered him with love by running their soft paws through his fur or swarming his face with their tender kisses.

    Noodle could not help but smile when he saw all the cats which had submitted to him.

    ¡°Hmph, there¡¯s nothing stopping me from winning thepetition!¡±

    Above him floated a familiar figure ¨C Nekomata. With his arms crossed together, Nekomata muttered, ¡°Cat kingpetition? That sounds interesting.¡±

    In a small garden resting in the middle of Jiangmen City, a cat covered with silky orange fur was violently tapping on its phone screen. It looked just like a walking ball of me. His paws darted across the screen furiously as his tail swung from left to right. His eyes were brimming with excitement and anger.

    This was the cat which the Japanese have brought from their homnd ¨C Chimera.

    ¡°Baka! How dare you scold me?¡± Chimera¡¯s paws continued flying across the length of the screen as a string of words appeared, ¡°The headless horseman is utter rubbish! He is a coward who only knows how to catch pesky thieves! Chimera is the strongest! I saw him burning an entire street to ashes at one go!¡±

    Standing by his nks were a pair of ck and white supercats.

    The white supercat¡¯s lips trembled as it spoke, ¡°Erm ... boss ...¡±

    Chimera interrupted it with a dismissive wave of his paw, ¡°Do not utter rubbish. The two of you will assist me in rebuking this fool! Also, remember to mention just how strong I am! It shoulde off naturally instead of contrived! Do not make it sound pretentious! Let me check the message before you sent it out. Today¡¯s dinner is dependent on your performance.¡±

    ¡°Err...¡± The white cat helplessly whipped out its phone andplied with the instructions. Evidently, the two of them were the original cat kings which Chimera had defeated.

    While crafting the message, the ck cat tapped on Chimera and rified, ¡°Boss, have you found an apostle yet? Will it affect thepetition tomorrow?¡±

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Chimera scoffed, ¡°I do not require the help of a human. I, alone, shall suffice.¡±

    ...

    In an adjacent sea bordering the perimeter of Jiangmen City rested a magnificent yacht anchored to the calm sea. Anky Siamese catid at the bow of the yacht, deep in sleep.

    Numerous explosions erupted in the water body in the vicinity of the yacht. Gushes of water spurted out of the water surface as if some sort of mines had detonated in the seabed.

    The explosion grew louder and louder before a human finally appeared on the surface of the water. The man descended on the deck with a soft thud. This young man had a toned physique coated in his bronze skin, topped off with his buzz cut.

    Meow! The streams of water sshed onto the Siamese cat, jolting it from its slumber. It sprang to its feet angrily as it shook its body violently to rid itself of the water.

    The teenager burst out inughter beforementing, ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, so sorry! Pork Chop, I¡¯m truly too excited. We are just one day away from thepetition!¡±

    He shielded his eyes from the zing sun before remarking smugly, ¡°We have hidden our powers for a long time. Now, it¡¯s time to show Inspector Ho just how strong we truly are! I will stop at nothing to clinch the title of cat king!¡±

    The Siamese cat known as Pork Chop was incredible apathetic to the teenager¡¯s words. It slid a condescending nce at him before continuing grooming itself, ¡°Thepetition ... it sounds so troublesome ... I should just apply for leave tomorrow...¡±

    ...

    In an undergroundboratory, Yue Shan was using psychokinesis to levitate himself into the air.

    His power had a simr effect as Zhao Yao¡¯s deflective field. By using thew of action-reaction, he could will the objects to levitate in the air.

    He slowly lifted his eyelids which revealed a glint shing across his eyes. A metal sphere floating in the corner of the room was instantly shredded to pieces by an invisible sword before the remains were scattered across the ce.

    The researcher analyzing the results suppressed a gasp beforementing, ¡°Your strength remains the same but your precision has improved significantly. The cross-sectional area of your attack was only ... 0.04mm. It is truly astounding!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s not enough,¡± Yue Shan balled his fists before muttering, ¡°My goal isn¡¯t to be the strongest in Jiangmen.¡±

    ...

    All thepetitors were busy with their preparation for the impendingpetition. Likewise, Zhao Yao had returned home afterpleting his lesson with Zhao Xue.

    ¡°This is so troublesome! Even Sphynx Cat¡¯s side effects cannot adjust Zhao Xue¡¯s orientation! Just how strong is her conviction? Or maybe she has not been exposed to the power long enough.¡±

    Zhao Yao let out a sigh of despair before shaking his hair helplessly. However, he decided to let this matter slide for now. With his body plunged into his couch, a string of numbers whizzed past his head.

    BOOK: lv5(7308/10000)

    Zhao Yao then took a nce at the situation of his cats.

    Matcha: lv6(770/10000)

    Elizabeth: lv5(1090/5000)

    Dust Ball: lv6(850/10000)

    Ares: lv4(1160/2000)

    Lucifer: lv4(1020/2000)

    ¡°That¡¯s great! Since incorporating the special catmint into my recipe, the cats have received 100 experience points daily! This is great!¡±

    With the effects of the legendary cat rice and his efforts for the past two weeksing into y, Zhao Yao had sufficient points to upgrade Elizabeth, Ares and Lucifer all at once. Just the thought of it sent him jumping up and down.

    Hence, Zhao Yao started off by pumping 3910 experience points to Elizabeth, upgrading her to level 6.

    Zhao Yao read through the newyer of ability trees. They were:

    Illusion¡¯s touch: Increase the affected radius of the illusion by 30%

    Illusion¡¯s seal (upgraded): The duration of the illusion sealed within the target would be proportional to the cat¡¯s current level.

    ¡°Oh? Another skill upgrade?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s heart throbbed when he saw the illusion¡¯s seal (upgraded) option. It¡¯s not solely because of its potential but because of how applicable it was.

    ¡°With this skill, it¡¯s as good as wielding another power simultaneously. Furthermore, thepetition has not mentioned a word about the details of thepetition. Even though the information is stated to be released tomorrow, thepetition can take ce in two days, three days or even four days time. My current skill can onlyst for one day and it takes too much effort to seal an illusion inside it.¡±

    Zhao Yao knew exactly how burdensome it was to seal an illusion within an object which exined his reluctance to use it.

    With this new skill, the duration of the effects would be extended to 6 days! He could simply prepare the illusion before themencement of thepetition.

    It need not be an overly borate illusion in case others started suspecting Zhao Yao. A few simple tricks would do the trick.

    ¡°Furthermore this has room for growth ...¡±

    After some deliberation, Zhao Yao decided to allocate it to illusion¡¯s seal (upgraded) before allocating the rest of the points to Lucifer and Ares, upgrading them to level 5 each.

 Chapter 310: The Preparation Before the Start

    <h4>Chapter 310: The Preparation Before the Start</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao¡¯s attention was first brought to Ares¡¯s abilities. The two ability branches were:

    Tenacity Increase: Increase the tenacity of the deflective field, hence allowing the user to disperse the impact of the attack.

    Shock Blow: Any opponent whiches into contact with the field would be dealt with a shocking blow, hence increasing its strength.

    These two skills were the exact opposite. One would increase the defensive capability of deflective field while the other would increase the offensive capability.

    Zhao Yao whispered to himself, ¡°Tenacity increase will improve my defense significantly.¡± Zhao Yao had always preferred to err on the side of caution, prompting him to go for the safer option. Furthermore, it would be rmended to stay on the defense during the uingpetition to prevent any opponents from exposing his powers.

    Also, he knew that the government was heavily involved in thispetition from Inspector Ho¡¯s words. It was not advisable if he exposed all his powers in front of everyone.

    A thought crossed his mind, ¡°Actually, I think I¡¯m already capable of producing a shock.¡± Zhao Yao raised his hand in the air, with his palms facing skyward. With a squint of his eyes, a swirling deflective field had appeared alongside numerous sword auras, sending a slight tremor in the surroundings.

    Zhao Yao understood that an ordinary tremor would be rather insignificant to his offensive arsenal. he must produce a high-intensity vibration to deliver a potent attack.

    He pondered about it and concluded that it was something achievable through sheer practice and hence decided to take a gamble with tenacity increase, improving his defense once again.

    With Ares¡¯s ability settled, he flipped to Lucifer¡¯s page. The new powers were:

    Regeneration speed increase: Increase the speed of regeneration by one fold.

    Regeneration of wound: The more severe the injuries, the tougher the body bes.

    Zhao Yao closed his eyes shut as he began weighing the possibilities. The first power was extremely straightforward. It simply increased the rate of regeneration. Lucifer¡¯s current rate of regeneration was already bordering on insanity, increasing it by one fold was simply unbelievable.

    The full potential of the second ability could only be unleashed in dire circumstances when his body was gued with injuries. This would put Zhao Yao in a precarious position ¨C something he would avoid at all cost.

    Hence, there was no hesitation as Zhao Yao tapped on the first skill.

    With both Ares and Lucifer upgraded, Zhao Yao felt so much safering into thepetition.

    At the same time, Dust Ball had already buried herself in Zhao Yao¡¯s arms somehow. She stared at him with a pair of Puss-in-boots eyes before pleading, ¡°Zhao Yao! Can I please have some supper?¡±

    ¡°Alright,¡± Zhao Yao obliged with a smile on his face as he made his way to the kitchen before preparing their cat rice.

    Half an hourter, all the cats gathered at the dining table before devouring the bowl of cat rice lying in front of them.

    Zhao Yao could not help but cackled when he saw just how happy they were with the food, ¡°Oh yes, tomorrow will be the start of thepetition. Remember to give your best. Whenever I call you via Dust Ball, do not hesitate to give your all. Understood?¡±

    Meow!

    The supercats obliged obediently with the delectable cat rice sliding down their throat. Even the maverick, Cat Rice, dared not refute Zhao Yao¡¯s words while gobbling down the food.

    She whispered to herself, ¡°Hmph, I shall just obey your instructions on the ount of today¡¯s food.¡±

    Naturally, Uncle Egg was the happiest one amongst them all. He could not help but shut his eyes after every bite before moaning. He could feel every grain of rice dancing between his teeth before sliding their way down his throat.

    ¡°A tinge of catmint infused within the bed of meat. This haspletely brought out the freshness of the ingredients! It¡¯s simply too good!¡±

    Lightningpletely buried his head in the bowl as all sorts of silly ideas ran through his head, ¡°It¡¯s futile to follow under Hanako. I should spend the rest of my life with Zhao Yao. I get good food and water under him. Also, I stand a chance to increase my power ...¡±

    With the thought at the back of his head, he raised his head andmented, ¡°Zhao Yao, do not worry. I will be there in an instant the moment you ask for me.¡±

    Zhao Yao reciprocated with a condescending re, ¡°Who said I needed your help?¡± Immediately, Lightning was drowned with grief. He decided to numb himself with another bowl of delicious cat rice.

    Zhao Yao surveyed the cats which hadpletely submitted to his rule, ¡°The legendary cat rice is not only delicious but rakes in lots of experience points. It also makes these brats more contented with their lives.¡±

    With this thought, Zhao Yao had returned to the belly with the remaining cat rice.

    ¡°Time for supper!¡±

    Dozens of shadows had instantaneously bolted next to Zhao Yao the moment he entered the extradimensional belly. They stared at this delicacy before stretching open their mouths and devouring it in mouthfuls.

    Zhao Yao had brought it here a few days ago to their delight.

    Zhao Yao beamed from ear to ear when he saw just how much they enjoyed his cooking. Sphynx Cat could not help but lick his lips when the fragrance poured into his nostrils, ¡°Zhao Yao, faster. I also want some.¡±

    He left a tiny bowl of cat rice by Sphynx Cat¡¯s cage before exining Ares¡¯s and Lucifer¡¯s upgrade to them all. Power and food were the two keys tomand respect from these obnoxious cats.

    ¡°Ares, your deflective field has grown stronger. Lucifer, your rate of regeneration has be even faster.¡±

    Amotion broke out amongst the cats when they heard the news. All of them stared at Ares and Lucifer, green with envy.

    Ares maintained his cool and continued polishing off the remaining food. On the other hand, Lucifer had already dashed to Rakshasa before eximing, ¡°Rakshasa,e and test my new power!¡± Lucifer¡¯s eyes were brimming with excitement.

    Rakshasa slid Lucifer a disdainful look before muttering, ¡°You pervert!¡±

    ¡°I always knew that you have belittled me! You can continue abusing me with words or even your punches or kicks! I will not fight back! I will move you with my love!¡± Lucifer sat on the floor, with his forehead creased together.

    ¡°So you enjoy getting bullied? You are a true psycho!¡± Rakshasa eded to the request with a punch straight to Lucifer¡¯s body, sending him flying into the air. However, Lucifer had already recovered during his fall. By the time hended, he was already unscathed! He simply let out a soft whimper.

    ¡°Do ... do not stop! Rakshasa, do not suppress your brutality! Vent it all on me!¡±

    Zhao Yao stared speechless at this astounding scene beforementing, ¡°Stop ying and have your supper. This is bad for your health.¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao?¡± Lucifer suddenly broached the topic, ¡°Have you managed to find Xiao Shi Yu? I owe my life to her for taking care of me before I was awakened. I want to repay her kindness by lending her my power.¡±

    Zhao Yao curled his lips together and remarked, ¡°That¡¯s an extremely dangerous idea to have.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t you agree that this is the strongest power? No attack could possibly hurt me! It simply gives me joy and happiness! I will use my love to change the world!¡± Lucifer pounced on Zhao Yao¡¯s shoe and demanded, ¡°Use your foot and trample me! Abuse me!¡±

    Zhao Yao just sent Lucifer flying into a corner with a simple kick. He let out a few awkward coughs before continuing, ¡°Everyone, you should learn from Ares and Lucifer. Continue to train relentlessly and do your part for cat nation¡¯s future! Your hard work will be rewarded with superior cat rice and an upgrade to your powers.¡±

    Diana rolled her eyes when she noticed Lucifer moaning in the corner of the room, ¡°Maybe it¡¯s not such a good thing to upgrade our power.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Caesar thought with his brows knitted together, ¡°I find Lucifer¡¯s power extremely interesting.¡±

    Sphynx Cat who was resting in the cage stared curiously at Lucifer and thought, ¡°The power of regeneration has truly improved. Does he really have the power to improve my strength? If I can improve my power ...¡± A tinge of hesitation shed across his eyes.

    After prepping all the cats, Zhao Yao returned to the apartment for Baiquan. Zhao Yao handed him a special cor which would instantly turn him into Zhao Yao. This was a backup solution when both Elizabeth and Zhao Yao were busy.

    When Zhao Yao was gone alone, Elizabeth was responsible for conjuring the illusions and preparing the meals for Old Man Zhuang.

    A cat¡¯s pte differed greatly from a human¡¯s. Also, Old Man Zhuang had so many new requests every single day. It was impossible to satisfy him with the cor. Zhao Yao prayed that Elizabeth could somehow manage the situation.

    With everything settled, Zhao Yao copsed on his bed as he eagerly awaited the start of thepetition.

    He immediately switched on his superphone for any updates the following morning.

    Naturally, he was greeted with a text.

    All contestants were required to reach xxxxx by 2359hrs.

    Zhao Yao read the address and knew that it was a beach on the southern end of Jiangmen City

    ¡°There¡¯s enough time for me to go to work and reach there before 2359, but why did they choose a beach?¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao, Matcha, and Roly Poly were five kilometers away from the destination as they made their way through a housing estate at 2200hrs.

    With the car stashed within his belly, Zhao Yao had donned on his favorite ck robes with Roly Poly hidden inside it. Meanwhile, Matcha was just resting on top of his head.

    Zhao Yao would prefer to conceal his identity from thispetition. However, if forced to divulge, he would choose to reveal the identity of the headless horseman.

    The trio made their way towards the beach as Zhao Yao¡¯s acute senses quickly picked up all the movements up ahead.

    ¡°There are ... so many cats.¡±

    With ¡®four is better than three¡¯, Zhao Yao made it through the sandy beachfortably to a ce teeming with humans and cats.

    Some were hiding in a corner observing the situation. Some chose to stand in the middle and began chatting with the other participants.

    Those in the middle were either hugging their cats, chatting, using their phones or ying with sand. He could not help but shake his head at this scene. They were either too confident orpletely oblivious to the danger lurking around. They must have thought that this was a simple gathering.

    Suddenly, his pupils constricted when he noticed a familiar figure standing amongst the crowd.

 Chapter 311: A Familiar Face

    <h4>Chapter 311: A Familiar Face</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes drifted from one end of the beach to another before stopping at one particr girl, surrounded by a Serval cat and a gang of people.

    ¡°This is so troublesome.¡± With his brows tightly knitted together, Zhao Yao muttered, ¡°Why must she appear here as well?¡±

    In his eyes, the pair of Serval cat and breeder were the greenhorns of thepetition, with zerobat experience.

    Despite their initial encounter with the ck apostle, their lives in the zoo had been fairly peaceful and m. Hence, they would have absolutely no contact with any other superpowers.

    This pair was simply a sheep thrown into a cage filled with a pack of hungry wolves. Their appearance meant certain death.

    ¡°D*mn it, why did theye here?¡± Zhao Yao buried his head in his chest before noticing the glimmering golden punctuation above her head. He shook his head in despair before muttering, ¡°I guess I only have myself to me for being such a nice guy. Matcha, let¡¯s go.¡±

    With that, he had grabbed Matcha and stashed him within his thick ck robes. The three of them had beenpletely enveloped by the silky robes, concealing his identity.

    Actually, he was not the only one making the extra effort. A portion of the participants was lurking in the shadows, donning on all sorts of helmets and masks in an attempt to hide their identities.

    Meanwhile, the breeder was busy tending to her cat when a swarm of apostles approached her, leaving her at a loss.

    One of the teenagers broke the awkward silence and said, ¡°Hey, my name is Meng Hao. Are you also here for the cat kingpetition?¡±

    The female breeder was somewhat embarrassed to respond as she lowered her head bashfully before whispering, ¡°Hi, my name is Liu Yun. I just serendipitously stumbled upon thispetition.¡±

    Meng Hao acknowledged her response with a friendly nod. He looked around before continuing, ¡°Haha, I¡¯m here by chance as well. I have no intentions of winning or even getting past the first round. I just came here to meet people like us, people with supercats. Oh yes ...¡± He casually diverted the conversation towards her cat and asked, ¡°Is that a Serval cat? They are extremely rare! I didn¡¯t know that they could be awakened as well. What¡¯s her power?¡±

    ¡°Oh, are you referring to Tiny? Her ability is ...¡±

    Liu Yun¡¯s words were interrupted by a voice which sprang out of nowhere.

    ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you talk about your power first before asking others about theirs?¡± Zhao Yao asked.

    Meng Hao¡¯s forehead creased together before bellowing in awkwardughter. Somehow, he did not detect the hostility in Zhao Yao¡¯s voice and responded, ¡°Are you Liu Yun¡¯s friend? Nice to meet you, I¡¯m Meng Hao.¡± He said so while extending his arm towards Zhao Yao for a handshake, only to be rejected ruthlessly.

    Zhao Yao turned towards Liu Yun and reminded her, ¡°I¡¯m begging you not to reveal your power to any strangers. This kind of scums is basically eliciting information right before thepetition. Come, follow me.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡±

    Zhao Yao simply dragged Liu Yun away, while she remained in a daze.

    The corner of Meng Hao¡¯s eyes crinkled slightly when faced with Zhao Yao¡¯s indifference. However, the smile instantly returned to his face as he looked to the guy standing next to him, ¡°Meng Shao, what¡¯s our n now?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, to each his own.¡± Meng Hao turned towards the group of people approaching and remarked, ¡°Come, let¡¯s go over there and take a look.¡±

    ¡°Hey, nice to meet you, I¡¯m Meng Hao. Are you an apostlepeting in thepetition?¡±

    The young man, who sported a buzz cut, simply swiped Meng Hao¡¯s hand away from his shoulder before sliding him a cold, hard re, ¡°Get lost.¡±

    Anger raged through Meng Hao but he managed to subdue it before it got the better of him. He just burst outughing and remarked, ¡°See you at the end of thepetition!¡±

    He turned his head around before a frown crept up his face, ¡°Why are youngsters getting so rude nowadays? I¡¯ll teach them a lesson afterward.¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao had dragged Liu Yun all the way to a secluded spot on the beach. She remained clueless as to what had happened but the Serval cat seemed so excited as she began jumping up and down.

    ¡°King George? Is it you, King George?¡±

    The Serval cat took a few deep breaths and concluded, ¡°It¡¯s this scent, I¡¯m sure. He gave us RMB 100,000 without even batting an eyelid. It¡¯s him!¡±

    Naturally, Liu Yun could notprehend a single word Tiny said. She stared at Zhao Yao confusedly and asked, ¡°I¡¯m sorry but do I know you? Why did you drag me all the way here?¡±

    Zhao Yao decided to cut to the chase and replied, ¡°Have you forgotten about the RMB 100,000 you owe me?¡± Zhao Yao even lifted his robes to reveal his true face.

    ¡°Huh? It¡¯s you, Daniel Wu?¡± Tears welled up in Liu Yun¡¯s eyes, ¡°I came to thispetition with the hopes of meeting you here! I never expected to be so lucky!¡±

    Zhao Yao met her under the guise of Daniel Wu previously. He even replicated the same illusion in an attempt to evoke her memories.

    Immediately, Zhao Yao shrouded his head beneath the robes only to notice the golden exmation mark¡¯s sudden disappearance. His mood plummeted as he muttered, ¡°D*mn it, don¡¯t tell me her mission is just to find me?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s enthusiasm waned considerably with the mission disappearing into thin air. He answeredzily, ¡°Oh, are you here to return me my money?¡±

    Liu Yun grew somewhat edgy and responded, ¡°No, I can¡¯t fork out so much cash in such a short time. I¡¯m terribly sorry. However, I¡¯ll return you the moment I have enough!¡±

    Meanwhile, the Serval cat attempted to sneak into Zhao Yao¡¯s robes, ¡°King George? Are you inside? You must be here! I have already detected your scent!¡±

    Zhao Yao grew impatient from this pesky cat and simply kicked her away, ¡°Alright, since you have already found me, you should take your leave now. Thispetition is not for the likes of you.¡±

    ¡°Huh? Isn¡¯t this just a game where the judges will evaluate our performances?¡±

    Zhao Yao knew that this foolish girl had mistaken the cat kingpetition for an ordinary catpetition. A normal catpetition without superpower was judged solely based on the cat¡¯s pedigree and behavior. It was a far cry from this impending bloodbath.

    Liu Yun¡¯s breathing hastened when she heard Zhao Yao¡¯s exnation, ¡°A battle of superpowers? Doesn¡¯t it make this extremely dangerous?¡±

    ¡°It is dangerous, especially for you.¡± Zhao Yao saw the crowd umting along the beach. Somehow, Meng Hao and gang were at the heart of it with a crowd huddling around him.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s ear gave a light shudder and he managed to eavesdrop on their conversations, ¡°Nice to meet all of you here. It is not every day that you get to meet such arge group of apostles and supercats. My name is Meng Hao, and I¡¯m a representative from a real estatepany. If any of you need any kind of help, feel free to approach me. If you need a job, I can supply you with ...¡±

    Actually, Meng Hao¡¯s main purpose was to recruit more apostles under him under the pretext of his family real estate business.

    Naturally, it would be even better if he managed to snag a title.

    The beach was flooded with apostles who werepletely ignorant about the situation. Hence, Meng Hao¡¯s words were music to their ears and it sounded so enticing.

    ¡°Oh, so he¡¯s not here to collect information but recruit manpower?¡± Zhao Yao let out a sigh before answering Liu Yun¡¯s question, ¡°However, these fools are no match for me.¡±

    A myriad of questions started popping into her head but she decided to disregard them all. She had set her mind to repay Zhao Yao¡¯s kindness, ¡°Allow me to help you.¡±

    ¡°Help? Are you sure you are even capable of that?¡± Zhao Yao asked.

    The Serval cat began screaming non-stop, ¡°I can call all my friends for help! I have many friends!¡± Following her screams, the surrounding rats, dogs, cats, and even seagulls began gathering around them. They sat obediently by the side, awaiting Tiny¡¯s orders.

 Chapter 312: Boarding Time!

    <h4>Chapter 312: Boarding Time!</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao¡¯s worry did not disappear after hearing the Serval cat¡¯s words. With his forehead creased together, he thought, ¡°What can they possibly do?¡± From the looks of it, these animals could barely take on ordinary humans, let alone apostles!

    With a smug smile stered on her face, the Serval cat dered, ¡°I can see whatever they can see! This works regardless of the distance between us. I can even control them from a distance!¡±

    These words caught Zhao Yao by surprise, ¡°Are you trying to say that you have a shared vision with these animals?¡± All along, Zhao Yao had no idea that the Serval cat possessed such a unique ability. This power was perfect for reconnaissance.

    Meanwhile, Liu Yun stared in amazement and muttered, ¡°Huh? Are you really capable ofmunicating with Tiny? I had suspected this since our previous encounter!¡±

    ¡°Hmph,¡± Zhao Yao replied with a nod of his head. He began weighing the pros and cons of bringing the Serval cat along before he was distracted by the exmation marks floating above their heads.

    Mission: Let me help you!

    Objective: Allow Liu Yun and the Serval cat to lend you a helping hand in the uingpetition.

    Reward: 50 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    Zhao Yao let out a long sigh before relenting, ¡°Alright, I can tell how sincere you are about helping me. Remember to keep close to me and never spout a single word of nonsense. Also ...¡± He whipped out a mask from his pocket before instructing her, ¡°Put this on at all times to prevent others from knowing your true identity. With so many apostles around, it will be disastrous if one of them decides to take revenge on you outside of thispetition.¡±

    Liu Yunplied with the instructions obediently and put on the mask.

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao noticed an uproaring from the beach. He raised his head and was greeted by the scene of twenty odd cats walking towards them.

    Standing right at the front was actually a dog and its female owner.

    The very size of the entourage attracted the attention of everyone at the beach. Simrly, Meng Hao noticed them approaching as his forehead creased together. He immediately gathered his people to receive this group of neers.

    Meng Hao, the most eloquent one amongst them, naturally took the lead by walking at the front. He was taken aback when he saw a little girl with a pair of shades and mask. He bent next to her before asking, ¡°Hey little girl, are you an apostle too?¡±

    ¡°I am not a little girl. I justpleted middle school.¡± Xiao Yu scoffed while she adjusted her shades.

    Meng Hao bit his lower lip before diverting the topic to the dog standing by her, ¡°Are you bringing this dog along for thepetition?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You haven¡¯t seen a superdog?¡± Xiao Yu sneered, ¡°I bet you¡¯re from some sort of backward vige.¡±

    The veins on Meng Hao¡¯s forehead started popping out before throbbing violently, ¡°I don¡¯t think dogs are allowed to participate in thepetition.¡±

    ¡°Who said that?¡± Xiao Yu replied with a roll of her eyes, ¡°Did thepetition rules state that dogs are barred frompeting?¡±

    ¡°No, but thispetition is a cat kingpetition for a reason.¡±

    ¡°So did the organizers state that dogs are barred from bing a cat king?¡±

    Meng Hao could only suppress his raging mes by letting out a series of awkwardughs. He gave up the thought of chatting with this girl and decided to cut to the chase, ¡°Are you interested in joining us?¡± Meng Hao turned around to reveal therge crowd gathered behind him, ¡°We¡¯re just a group of apostles sharing our experiences. Care to join us?¡±

    Xiao Yu curled her lips in disgust before retorting, ¡°Who is even interested in interacting with scums like yourself? Noodle, let¡¯s go.¡± Xiao Yu patted Noodle on his back before leading the pack away, leaving Meng Hao behind.

    Meng Hao gritted his teeth as he watched the group of cats disappearing into the horizon. His brain exploded with fury as he grumbled, ¡°Why are kids so irritating these days?¡±

    Meanwhile, Noodle was cursing in his head, ¡°D*mn it. I am King Hanada and yet I have to take instructions from this ignorant girl?¡±

    Nekomata, which floated by their side, knew exactly what was going through Noodle¡¯s head when he noticed the grim expression. Nekomata inched towards him andforted Noodle, ¡°No matter what, Xiao Yu is still an apostle. She has the power to borrow my ability. Furthermore, it¡¯s too risky for a single cat like me to take part in such arge-scalepetition. You just have yourself to me since you can¡¯t borrow my power.¡±

    Despite how exasperated he was, Noodle could only ept the harsh reality unwillingly. Xiao Yu continued pping her dirty hands against his back and instructed, ¡°Noodle, you must give your all for thepetition and win it. Then, we¡¯ll return to a RMB 20,000,000 home. Do you understand?¡± The mention of the RMB 20,000,000 home caused Xiao Yu to tremble with excitement.

    Fish Ball jumped up and down and eximed, ¡°Xiao Yu! Xiao Yu! There¡¯s still me! I will give my all for thispetition!¡± Fish Ball had resumed bootlicking Xiao Yu since he fell out with Noodle.

    Xiao Yu even allocated one of the districts to Fish Ball as a reward. She hoped to increase her chances by spreading her eggs.

    However, due to theck of dependable apostles, Noodle and Xiao Yu were the only apostle-supercat pair representing them. The remaining districts could only send out a single supercat.

    ¡°Bootlick.¡± Suddenly, a familiar scent permeated the air as Noodle took in a few deep breaths. His nose naturally gravitated towards Zhao Yao as he muttered, ¡°This smell...¡±

    With the majority of the contestants all gathered at the beach, a giant passenger liner appeared from the horizons, capturing all their attention.

    Currently, the entire beach was packed with hundreds of apostles and supercats, including Zhao Yao, Liu Yun and her Serval cat.

    Most people were either wearing a helmet, sunsses or even a mask. Hence, Zhao Yao¡¯s peculiar outfit did not stand out as much.

    Following the arrival of the passenger liner, a few speedboats emerged from within and bolted towards the shorelines.

    Perched on top of one of the speedboat was the familiar ck and white cat. It was none other than the cat king of the north.

    Some sort of microphone was attached to his neck. Zhao Yao noticed his paws darting across his phone before aputer-generated voice erupted in their ears.

    ¡°Wee to the inaugural cat kingpetition! I am an organizer and judge of this magnificentpetition! I am none other than the cat king of the north! Today¡¯spetition will be held at an ind, more than 100 kilometers away. Hence, pick a speedboat and make your way there!¡±

    The process went smoothly as the contestants registered via their superphones before boarding the speedboats. Then, both the supercats and their apostles were assigned a number which was pasted on their bodies. Evidently, this was their participation numbers.

    Zhao Yao tore through the crowd and led them right to the ship deck before asking the Serval cat, ¡°How is it? Can you control them?¡±

    Suddenly, the Serval cat¡¯s pupils disappeared, exposing the entire sclera. Her field of vision suddenly included the seagulls flying in the sky and the fishes swimming in the depths of the sea.

    The cat nodded her head and replied, ¡°No problem, crystal clear.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s good. Continue monitoring the situation and alert me if anything goes awry.¡±

    Matcha, which was scrunched up in his robes, could not take it any longer and burst out screaming, ¡°Zhao Yao, let me go now! I want to talk to my fangirl!¡±

    Boarding Time

    Zhao Yao slid Matcha a condescending re before acquiescing to his request. Naturally, the Serval cat¡¯s eyes glistened with excitement when she saw Matcha appear. She ran up to him with tears welled up in her eyes.

    ¡°King George, I knew you were inside!¡±

    Matcha acted as if it was nothing and replied, ¡°Take a seat and keep your volume down. I left my pce secretly just for you. I do not want too many people to know about it.¡±

    At this moment, a dog, a cat and a girl had simrly made their way to the deck. The girl looked towards Zhao Yao with a beaming smile and asked, ¡°Yao Er, are you also here for thepetition?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s heart sank when he heard that obnoxious female voice rang in his head, ¡°That pesky fe is here again, but how did she even managed to recognize me?¡± Just now, Zhao Yao had already spotted them when they were stealing all the limelight. It was impossible to miss the entire entourage plus the husky.

    Zhao Yao chose this spot just to avoid her. However, it was futile.

    ¡°Are you wondering how I managed to spot you?¡± Xiao Yu bent next to Noodle and rewarded him with a pat on his back, ¡°It¡¯s because of Noodle¡¯s fantastic nose!¡±

    Zhao Yao let out a sigh of despair before using his illusion tomunicate with Xiao Yu alone, ¡°Do not expose my identity. I¡¯m sure you are equally reluctant to expose your own identity as well.¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± A glimmer shed across her eyes, ¡°I would never participate in this kind of stupidpetitions if not for that house.¡±

    ¡°House?¡± Zhao Yao was left speechless by her response, ¡°You are intending to sweep the top three prizes?¡±

    ¡°Of course, with the rising standard of living, property prices in Jiangmen City have soared. My parents are just ordinary people. They will never be able to afford another property in Jiangmen.¡±

    Xiao Yu spoke as if she were a thirty-year-old, ¡°Hence, I can only depend on myself or my future husband for my own house. However, I do not wish to be constrained by my future husband¡¯s financial capabilities, so I¡¯ll simply buy one on my own.¡±

    Zhao Yao replied with a roll of his eyes, ¡°Wow, that¡¯s far-sighted of you.¡±

    ¡°Of course. By the time I¡¯m in college, I will have a house, a car, and my pretty little face. Guys will simply flock to me.¡± Suddenly, Xiao Yu tapped Zhao Yao on his shoulders and remarked, ¡°I have no intention of hurting you with these words.¡±

    Zhao Yao was already devoid of expression as he answered, ¡°That¡¯s exactly what you are doing.¡±

    Xiao Yu ran her fingers through Zhao Yao¡¯s hair in an attempt tofort him, ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not a bed of roses when ites to rtionships. The boy from my neighboring ss had been courting me for the past month. He finally gave upst week which made me sad for at least half an hour. Staying single at 25 years old is truly a smart decision. A rtionship is truly too saddening.¡±

    Zhao Yao clutched his chest tightly as he felt dozens of swords impaled right through his heart.

    Because of the illusion, Liu Yun was totally oblivious to this conversation. She inched towards them and asked, ¡°Do you guys know each other?¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately rified, ¡°We¡¯ve met a few times but we¡¯re not that close.¡±

    Liu Yun seemed rather confused and asked, ¡°But I thought I heard her call you Yao Er?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s Guo Er, I think you heard wrong.¡± Xiao Yu came forward to help Zhao Yao conceal his identity.

    ¡°Huh?¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately screamed at Xiao Yu via the illusion, ¡°Hey! Stop giving me some random names! Do you think you are actually Xiaolongn¨¹? Call me brother.¡±

    Xiao Yu acted all sad andmented, ¡°Oh my, Guo Er, Aunty used to dote on you so much when you¡¯re young. Have you forgotten all about it already?¡±

    Zhao Yao was left speechless and rebutted, ¡°Kid, what exactly do you want from me?¡±

    A glimmer of excitement shed across her eyes as Xiao Yu announced, ¡°Join forces with me as we sweep the top prizes of thepetition!¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin thoughtfully before replying, ¡°But they have yet to release thepetition format. An alliance will be rather useless if it¡¯s round robin.¡±

    ¡°Have you ever heard of ser fixing?¡± Xiao Yu continued, ¡°If the two of us meet in apetition, you don¡¯t have to go all out, do you understand?¡±

    Zhao Yao covered his mouth with his hand as he pondered about it. Finally, he decided to relent since there were no obvious disbenefits from it.¡±

    Meanwhile, the husky and Fish Ball had already gathered around the Serval cat.

    Fish Ball mmed his paws against the wooden nk and roared at Matcha, ¡°Young fe, why do you look so familiar?¡±

    Matcha slid Fish Ball a nce before replying, ¡°Where are you from?¡±

    Fish Ball copsed to the floor inughter before he went back on his feet and answered, ¡°You don¡¯t even know who I am? I am cat king Fish Ball of Hanada II. The entire Jiangmen City knows about my name while you remain clueless. Are you even a supercat? I will protect you from today onwards if you kneel down and call me your master.¡±

    ¡°Protect me?¡± Matcha sniggered before revealing his ws, ¡°Look at it. Have you ever seen ws as sharp as this? Many humans have already fallen prey to these ws.¡±

    Fish Ball was not going to lose just yet. He followed suit and revealed his ws. However, they were barely an inch long, ¡°D*mn it, I forgot Xiao Yu helped to trim themst night!¡±

    Immediately, he illuminated his entire body with light, ¡°A fight between supercats boils down to superpower, not physical brawl!¡± He dangled his paws in front of Matcha as two beams of light shot out of it, ¡°Do you see the light? Do you have an intense desire to chase after them? Do not control yourself! Chase it, release your inner demons!¡±

    The Serval cat could no longer suppress her urge and pounced onto the beam of light. However, the beam of light always seemed to be able to slip through the gaps between her ws.

    Fish Ball began cackling before he looked towards Matcha andmented, ¡°Stop controlling yourself, go and chase ....¡±

    Piack!

    Matcha instantly retaliated with a p to his face before pouncing on his body andnding a barrage of punches.

    ¡°Are you taking me for a fool?¡± Matcha roared.

    Suddenly, Fish Ball started shining even brighter as he screamed, ¡°Stop it! I will kill you if you continue doing that!¡±

    Matcha was taken by surprise when the light suddenly grew brighter. Zhao Yao did not dare to take any risks in the world of superpower and decided to strike first by turning the world to a standstill.

    ¡°I hit! I hit! I hit! I hit!¡±

    When time resumed, Fish Ball was already lying motionlessly against the ground with a red and blue light illuminating from his body.

    When he saw Matcha shing his ws in the air, Fish Ball immediately jumped to his feet and pleaded, ¡°Brother, please stop hitting me. I will die if you continue doing so!¡±

    The husky watched the two cats struggling with each other before he rested on the floor impatiently, ¡°Why are cats the only animals awakened? Cats are so stupid. It would be so much better if dogs were awakened instead!¡±

    At this moment, an announcement red on board the passenger liner, broadcasting the cat king of the north¡¯s voice into every corner.

    ¡°How are all the participants doing? I¡¯m sure all of you must be famished by now, so we shall distribute the northern cat cat food to all our participants. We would like to thank them for their generous sponsors!¡±

    ¡°If any of you like the vors we have prepared today, feel free to scan the QR code at the bottom of the bag. You get to enjoy a 20% discount as a participant during your future purchases!¡±

    Zhao Yao was left speechless by this product cement, ¡°When will he ever stop with his advertisement?¡±

    Soon enough, a person had approached them with bags of cat food. However, Zhao Yao had never expected to see this ¡®person¡¯ here.

    If you looked at this ¡®person¡¯ from afar, he would simply pass off as an ordinary man. However, upon closer observation, you would notice the artificial imprints on his face, wrist, and even neck. He was obviously a human puppet.

    ¡°Speaking of which, the person who operated the speedboat just now also seemed kind of strange. Is he also a puppet? Is this the power of the cat king of the north?¡± Zhao Yao had always been interested in these four cat kings. From the superphones to these human puppets and the weird prizes up for grabs, Zhao Yao suspected that the cat king of the north had the power to create unique items like these.

    Zhao Yao tore open the bag of cat food and was able to discern its quality without even tasting it.

    ¡°I guess it¡¯s an excellent quality cat food? It¡¯s about the same as those brands I can get at supermarkets.¡±

    Zhao Yao scattered the cat food right in front of Matcha. However, he was totally indifferent to it. After all, Matcha¡¯s diet consisted solely of legendary cat rice. He took a bite of it before vomiting the rest.

    On the other hand, this was the best cat food Noodle and Fish Ball ever had. They simply could not have enough of it until Xiao Yu dragged them away after taking a few mouthfuls.

    Xiao Yu eximed, ¡°Are you guys gluttons? Where do you intend to excreteter? I did not bring stic bags along. Are you trying to turn me into that kind of owners that never pick up after their pets?¡±

    The pair of cat and dog could only lower their heads in shame. Xiao Yu realized how affected they were and decided tofort them in case it affected their performance, ¡°Alright, alright. I¡¯ll treat the both of you to beef and salmon at the end of thepetition.¡±

    Immediately, both their tails went up as they began encircling Xiao Yu excitedly.

    Hence, the rest of them remained standing on the deck while setting their eyes on the horizons. The winter breeze continued roaring, sending the majority of the people indoors after half an hour.

    After sailing for more than three hours, a thunderous boom exploded from the bottom of the ship, sending tremors and vibrations into every corner. Seawater even started to seep into the ship through the gaps while the liner began tilting towards one side and started sinking.

    All the participants were overwhelmed with fear as they scurried across the ce, with screams flooding the area. Suddenly, a voice rang through the speakers, ¡°Everyone, this is just a mini test before the start of thepetition. This ship will bepletely submerged in 10 minutes. Luckily, the ind is just 3000 meters away from us. Those who managed to reach it will be eligible for thepetition.¡±

    When you peered through the windows, you could see the silhouette of the inds on the far horizon. You could even spot beams of light shooting from the ind as if someone were controlling it.

    ¡°Also, please do not forget about your life vest. Every seat shoulde with a life vest!¡±

    mes of anger shot through the contestants when they heard that obnoxious voice. A sea of profanities and curses erupted in the ship.

    ¡°How can he do this to us? Is he trying to kill us?¡±

    ¡°B*stard! This is simply murder!¡±

    ¡°How can the organizers be so irresponsible? How can suchpetitions even exists?¡±

    The voice from the speakers was totally indifferent to the scolding but continued exining, ¡°Oh yes, I would like to remind the participants that there is no use searching for the speedboats or lifeboats. We have taken all of them away. Meowhahaha.¡±

    ¡°This lunatic!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m gonna kill him!¡±

    ¡°What are we supposed to do?¡±

    It was aplete chaos with hundreds of supercats and apostles rushing around like headless chickens.

    However, some apostles¡¯ powers came extremely handy. Some had the power to turn into mermaids, while others could walk on the surface of the water. Some cats and apostles could just fly across the water, towards the ind.

    Following a series of ring explosions, a shadow emerged from the crowd into the sky. Explosions continually erupted from his soles before he flew towards the ind at warp speed.

    This person was none other than the teenager with the buzz cut and his Siamese cat.

    However, not all the apostles were as lucky as the ones mentioned above. Most of them were at a loss of what to do. Some even resorted to climbing to the top of the ship while others jumped into the rough sea with their life vests on.

    The situation was getting out of hand. Zhao Yao, who was caught in the middle of it, let out a sigh of despair. Immediately, he activated timefreeze. Then, he grabbed two life vests before dragging Liu Yun, the Serval Cat, Xiao Yu, the husky and Fish Ball to the deck.

    When time resumed, Liu Yun and Xiao Yu just stared at their surroundings in shock. They had no idea how they just magically appeared there.

    Zhao Yao simply stared at a distance as he tried to make out an ind in the far horizons.

    Zhao Yao turned to them with a solemn expression before answering their queries, ¡°This is my ability, I¡¯ll tell you more about it when we have time. The ship is about to sink. Can the both of you swim?¡±

    Zhao Yao could breathe a momentary sigh of relief when both of them nodded their heads. He threw them the two life vests before instructing, ¡°Put this on right now. Jump into the water when we are nearer to the surface. Remember to swim in the direction of the ind. Do not get sucked into the eddy currents!¡±

    After giving out his concise instructions, Zhao Yao immediately turned around and left them before Xiao Yu stopped him by tugging onto his sleeve, ¡°What are you trying to do?¡±

    ¡°Save lives.¡± Zhao Yao replied sternly.

    This was the first time Xiao Yu ever saw Zhao Yao act so serious. However, she was immediately distracted by the seas of people gathering and the thunderous re erupting from the ship. It was going to split into two at any moment.

    Xiao Yu could not believe her ears and shook her head violently, ¡°Are you crazy? How can you possibly save all of them? You might even lose your life because of it!¡±

    ¡°Do not worry, I¡¯ll just do whatever I can. I¡¯ll never do anything beyond my abilities. The two of you will just wait here for me.¡± Zhao Yao swung Xiao Yu¡¯s hand away before dashing back into the cabin. Meanwhile, he was thinking, ¡°I¡¯ll save as many people as I can. Maybe, I can even earn some experience points from this.¡±

    At this moment, the Serval cat began blinking and responded, ¡°Maybe you do not have to save all of them.¡±

    With her sclera all exposed, the Serval cat exined, ¡°By tapping on the fish¡¯s vision, I realized that many of those who cannot save themselves are being taken away to a corner of the ind.¡±

    From the fish perspective, one of the contestants who could not swim was enveloped in a giant bubble when he fell into the sea. Then, he was slowly brought towards the ind.

    ¡°Oh really?¡± This piqued Zhao Yao¡¯s curiosity, ¡°What¡¯s rescuing all these people?¡±

    ¡°I have no idea, they look really weird. I don¡¯t think they are biological creatures.¡±

    Suddenly, a glimmer shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes, ¡°Oh yes, since the government is somehow rted to thispetition, they will never allow any contestants to die on their watch. So this was done just to scare them? They just wanted to weed out the weaklings before the start of the actual race ... this process allows them to see each participant¡¯s true character.¡±

    Zhao Yao finally managed to rx when he heard this reassuring news. However, his eyes lit up when he noticed a giant exmation mark at the corner of the ship deck.

    Knowing that things were not as dire as expected, the solemn expression also disappeared from Zhao Yao¡¯s face. He looked at the Serval cat and asked, ¡°Oh yes, can you direct the fishes to save the people?¡±

    Five minutester, Meng Hao and hispanions were all gathered together at a wooden nk. All their arms were resting on the nks along with their cats. The cats all huddled in the middle of the nk, for fear of a single drop of water touching their fur.

    Meng Hao continued kicking relentlessly as he propelled the nk forward. He screamed words of encouragement, ¡°Let¡¯s go! We are almost at the ind! Onest push!¡±

    One fatsomented, ¡°Bro, if not for yourposure and wit, we would never have thought of using this nk as a float. We would have been dead by now.¡±

    Meng Hao revealed a grin before replying, ¡°This is the product of ourbined effort. Thispetition seems extremely bizarre. We will never know what will happen when we reach the ind. We can only survive if we stay together as a group.¡±

    At this moment, a school of fish appeared, propelling Zhao Yao and the rest forward by producing a huge wave. However, the supercats which Noodle brought along fainted the moment they came in contact with water, eliminating them from thepetition.

    Behind them were an entire group of people grabbing onto the nks for their dear lives. These were the contestants Zhao Yao had rescued.

    When Zhao Yao passed by Meng Hao andpany, he noticed the exmation marks above their heads and immediately asked them, ¡°Hey Meng Hao, do you need any help?¡±

    Meng Hao stared wide-eyed at Zhao Yao before rifying, ¡°You have the power ... to control fishes?¡± After all, Zhao Yao was ying an instrumental role throughout the entire episode. It was hard not to believe so.

    Zhao Yao simply replied with a cackle and responded, ¡°I guess it¡¯s better if I keep my power a secret, so stop asking me about it. You guys have been swimming the entire journey. Coupled with the bad weather, you are bound to fall sick. You won¡¯t even be able topete at the end of the day.¡±

    Meng Hao bit his lips and nodded his head. Actually, he was raging with fury that someone was taking the limelight away from him by saving more people and winning more hearts. However, he managed to put on a front and revealed a beaming smile, ¡°Bro, thank you so much for your help. If not for you, I would be dead even if I managed to get to the ind.¡±

    With that, Meng Hao began waving his arms frantically in the air, gesturing them towards Zhao Yao. However, Zhao Yao suddenly held onto his arm and eximed, ¡°Wait!¡±

    Tens of people stared at him open-mouthed. Zhao Yao was trembling with excitement when he saw the plethora of exmation marks floating by the sea. With his most amiable smile, he looked towards them and asked, ¡°Do all of you need my help?¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡±

    ¡°Let us join you!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s freezing!¡±

    Immediately, Zhao Yao¡¯s BOOK was inundated with tens of missions. The objective remained the same ¨C rescue them to the ind. Zhao Yao stared at the experience points before epting the mission one by one, stretching his smile from one ear to another.

    Xiao Yu observed Zhao Yao¡¯s expression and scoffed, ¡°He¡¯s just rescuing someone. Why does he have to smile like some pervert?¡±

    Soon enough, the fishes began propelling the cats forward by producing an enormous undercurrent in the sea. However, the undercurrent somehow seemed to miss Meng Hao and his threepanions, leaving them floating at the exact same spot. They knew that something was amiss as they watched everyone, but themselves, traveling towards the ind.

    His chest tightened with fear when he swept his head around and realized that the four of them were the only ones left, stranded back there.

    Meng Hao tried his best to suppress the anger exploding within him, ¡°Bro, could you kindly get your fish to help us too?¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao was stillmunicating with the Serval cat, ¡°Do not help the four of them without my orders.¡± Zhao Yao shook his head dejectedly when he noticed the absence of his favorite punctuation, ¡°Bro, have you ever watched Dragon Ball?¡±

    Meng Hao¡¯s forehead creased together as he replied, ¡°Yeah.¡±

    ¡°That will make it a lot easier to exin. The fishes that I call upon are simr to the Flying Nimbus. Only the pure-hearted individuals are allowed to receive their help. Even a tinge of evil thoughts would render you ipatible with them.¡±

    Meng Hao¡¯s jaw went ck when he heard those absurd ims, ¡°Bro, are you joking with me?¡±

    ¡°Why would I ever joke about something as serious as this?¡± Zhao Yao pinched the bridge of his nose before continuing, ¡°Just try asking for my help whole-heartedly without even a trace of evil thoughts. I¡¯m sure the fishes will help you the moment you do so.¡±

    Meng Hao¡¯s fingers began trembling with anger. He did not want to go on his knees with all those eyes staring at him. How would the others regard him if he resorted to this? However, hispanions were already shuddering violently from the cold and began stuttering, ¡°Please ... please rescue us.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up with excitement when he saw the exmation mark sprang up above one guy¡¯s head. He thought, ¡°I guess it only works when they truly require my help.¡±

    Immediately, a school of fishes produced a tremendous undercurrent which propelled that guy forward, towards the rest of the people. A smile crept up his face as he roared, ¡°Boss, it works! Just ask with sincerity!¡±

    The two other guys immediately followed suit and were rendered the help which they needed, leaving the despondent Meng Hao all alone. He finally relented, ¡°Can you please help me?¡±

    Zhao Yao took a nce at him but shook his head in despair, ¡°You are filled with too many evil thoughts. My fishes don¡¯t even dare toe near to you.¡±

    Meng Hao¡¯s pulse mmed with fury as he cursed in his head, ¡°F*cker, you are the one filled with evil thoughts! You mother f*cker!¡±

    Hispanions began screaming at him, ¡°Boss, you just have to ask earnestly!¡±

    ¡°Yes! Concentrate all your thoughts on it and don¡¯t think about anything else. Show the fishes your conviction!¡±

    ¡°R*tard.¡± Meng Hao never believed a single word Zhao Yao muttered. All along, he had suspected that the man in the ck robes was simply toying with them.

    He looked towards the people ahead and realized that all of them had slid him a guarded look as if he were truly filled with evil thoughts and intentions. How could that possibly happen? All his previous efforts in recruiting the apostles and supercats would simply go down the drain!

    Surrounded by intense gaze and his subordinates¡¯ screams, his brain was about to explode with fury. He could only ball his fists together and suppressed his anger before looking towards Zhao Yao and asked again, ¡°I¡¯m begging you, can you please just save me?¡±

    Finally, Zhao Yao saw the exmation mark which he had been waiting for. His mouth curled into a smile as he replied, ¡°Good kid,e join us.¡±

    Suddenly, a huge undercurrent umted beneath Meng Hao before pushing him forward. However, a sudden vortex erupted from beneath, sending Meng Hao crashing into the water surface.

    Meng Hao¡¯s teeth chattered violently from both the cold and anger. He stared daggers at Zhao Yao and screamed, ¡°Bro, what¡¯s the meaning of that?¡±

    Zhao Yao was filled with remorse as he identally canceled the mission. Obviously, he could not tell Meng Hao the truth. He could onlye up with ame excuse before exining, ¡°The fishes suddenly detected a sudden surge of evil thoughts which resulted in that. I¡¯m advising you to give up on these thoughts and to turn over a new leaf.¡±

    A hint of fear crossed their eyes when the others heard Zhao Yao¡¯s words. They even began paddling away to distance themselves away from Meng Hao.

    Meng Hao was on the verge of killing Zhao Yao after a few futile attempts before the fishes finally rescued him.

    He realized that everyone was keeping a distance away from him. That alone caused fury to pour through his body. He truly did not harbor any evil thoughts in his head. All there was were simply anger, anger, and more anger.

    All in all, Zhao Yao managed to save 50 apostles and 40 supercats from the rough waters as he brought them safely to the shores.

    This short trip instantly earned Zhao Yao close to 1000 experience points, changing his BOOK to lv5(2558/10000). Just looking at it caused Zhao Yao to beam from ear to ear.

    With his explosive power, the teenager with the Siamese cat was naturally the first ones to reach the ind. He slid a condescending re at the bunch of fools Zhao Yao rescued and scoffed, ¡°Lame.¡±

    He was also an apostle working alongside Inspector Ho. Naturally, he had details about thepetition which Zhao Yao had.

    He knew that Inspector Ho would never put these innocent lives at risk. Hence, he had altered his strategy to align with this key idea.

    From his perspective, this ¡®ident¡¯ was simply a sieve to eliminate the apostles with inferior strength, determination, and even personality. To him, what Zhao Yao did was simply a waste of effort. It was only a matter of time before these people were eliminated by the uingpetition.

    With more and more people arriving at the beach, they soon realized a weird phenomenon ¨C there was a clear distinction along the beach separating the contestants into two groups.

 Chapter 316: White Flag

    There were two distinct groups of contestants on the ind.

    The first group managed to reach the ind by solely depending on their own strength. Hence, most of them were dripping wet and were drying themselves by the fire.

    The other group was the ones enveloped by the giant bubble, which exined how dry they were. Evidently, they were the contestants saved by the organizers.

    Suddenly, beams of intense light rained down on the beach as the cat king of the north slowly descended from a flight of stairs.

    ¡°It has been a tough journey for all of you here. We have prepared some fire for you to dry yourself with. Feel free to take the ginger water and warm water we have provided. Take care of your body and refrain from catching a cold!¡±

    An intense heat started radiating from Chimera¡¯s body as embers erupted from his skin, instantaneously vaporizing the water on his body. He slid cat king of the north a death re before muttering, ¡°Do not let me catch you, baka! I¡¯ll kill you!¡±

    Cat¡¯s inherent fear of water coupled with his fire-breathing abilities intensified Chierma¡¯s disdain for water. Thankfully, he was saved by the school of fishes halfway through his journey. If not for that, he would have already vented his frustration on someone already.

    Matcha was half dead as he copsed to the ground with his body drenched in seawater. He mustered his remaining strength to slid Fish Ball a nce before muttering, ¡°Come here.¡±

    Fish Ball came immediately with hopes of getting into his good books, ¡°Hey bro, what¡¯s the matter?¡±

    Matcha raised his paws in the air before running them through his fur and instructing, ¡°Lick me.¡±

    Immediately, the blood vessels in Fish Ball¡¯s eyes burst, turning his eyes all red. With his body quivering in indignation, he looked towards Matcha and rified, ¡°So you need my help to lick your fur?¡± Even though it was natural for ordinary cats to help one another groom themselves, this habit had been regarded with disdain since supercats received their intelligence.

    This was especially torturous when you help a cat of the same gender groom himself.

    ¡°Hmph,¡± Matcha rolled over before shing his razor-sharp ws in Fish Ball¡¯s face. Then, he began to mimic his fluid movements on the piano to show just how nimble he was with his fingers.

    Fish Ball was choking with anger as he muttered word by word, ¡°I ... will ... do ... it...¡±

    Matcha could feel the seawater dissipating with every movement of Fish Ball¡¯s tongue. A smile crept across his face as he mumbled, ¡°A little lower, hmph, there, right there. Just a little lower ...¡±

    Tears welled up in his eyes when Fish Ball stared at the spot he was about to lick, ¡°Bro, I am a supercat that have been awakened for half a year. I simply cannot do this!¡±

    Matcha let out a sigh before mocking him, ¡°You are useless. Never mind, just continue licking my back.¡±

    Fish Ball continued licking Matcha with his eyes glued to him. He swore in his head, ¡°I will lick you until you turn bald.¡± Immediately, he began licking Matcha even more violently.

    In response, Matcha screamed, ¡°Oh my, that¡¯s right! This strength is perfect!¡±

    Following cat king of the north¡¯s words, the crowd scattered across the beach as they found a fire to themselves.

    Meanwhile, he continued his speech, ¡°You might have noticed that those apostles and supercats with no means of saving their lives were saved by the organizers when the ship sank. Even though they are still alive, they are unfortunately eliminated from thepetition.¡±

    One girl sprang to her feet and protested, ¡°Is there something wrong with you? How can you just do whatever you want? What if something disastrous happened just now? What if someone lost his life? What if all of us fall sick?¡±

    This girl¡¯s words were a spark as others followed suit and created a ruckus.

    However, Zhao Yao, Explosive Man, Meng Hao and Chimera decided to keep their mouths shut.

    The cat king of the north simply acknowledged the sea of dissent with a smile, ¡°Li Li, sorry for troubling you.¡±

    Immediately, a giant wave erupted from the surface of the calm sea, producing a thunderous boom which swept across the beach. The giant waves came together before morphing into a giant cat, that was at least 10 meters tall.

    Perched on this giant cat¡¯s forehead was a regr tri-colored cat with a body coated in glistening fur. There was even a tiny tiara on top of her head. Evidently, she was the one controlling this giant cat.

    ¡°Everyone, allow me to introduce you to the cat king of the south, Li Li. She has the power to control water flow and she was the one who saved some of your lives.¡±

    ¡°Also, allow me to make myself clear one more time. As exined earlier, the cat kingpetition is a contest involving apostles and supercats. Anything can happen in the world of superpowers. Hence, there is no such thing as absolute fairness and safety in thispetition.

    You have no one to me if you are born smaller, weaker, or dumber than others. No one cares.

    As a matter of fact, battles that are more gruesome that you could possibly imagine are being waged in certain corners of the world right now. It is 10 times, 100 times, 1000 times worse than what you had just experienced.

    If you came to thispetition thinking that everything was a bed of roses, I would strongly encourage you to leave right now. There¡¯s nothing wrong in a peaceful life, it might even be more suited for you.¡±

    Cat king of the north continued, ¡°If you wish to remove yourself from thepetition, simply step inside this bubble. It will absorb all the water on your body. It alsoes with an endless supply of water, food and sleeping bags. There is even a live broadcast of thepetition. We will then send you home at the end of this round.

    However, if you choose to continue down this path, I would like to apologize...¡±

    To add on to the dramatic effect, numerous waves continued sweeping across the vast sea. It seemed liked it was about to engulf the beach at any moment.

    Zhao Yao stared at cat king of the south and pondered, ¡°Aspared to Nessie, she can control a far greater amount of water, but she doesn¡¯t seem capable of turning her own body into water. In the case, it¡¯s simply a tradeoff between offense and defense.¡±

    Aspared to the cat king of the north¡¯s ability, the cat king of the south¡¯s power was far easier to understand. Zhao Yao had alreadye up with a series of tactics to counter her power the moment he saw her.

    Faced with Li Li¡¯s incredible power and seeing that the strong apostles, such as Zhao Yao, Explosive Man, Chimera, Nekomata and Yue Shan, reluctance to say a word, those who stood forward and protested could not stomach it anymore.

    ¡°What kind of joke is this? Who even wants to participate in this stupidpetition?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m leaving thispetition. There are no safety guidelines at all!¡±

    These apostles were ordinary humans who had only just received their superpower half a year ago. They had never seen the danger associated with their powers. They only came here because of the lucrative prizes. They thought that it was an ordinary tussle between ordinary humans. Never did they expect such a dangerous thing to befall them. Without a guarantee for their individual safety, many decided to quit.

    White gs were thrown in the air as the participants entered the bubble. Soon enough, only 50 contestants remained on the beach. It was less than 10% of what they started with.

    The remaining people were veterans such as Zhao Yao, Explosive Man and even Chimera. With their extensive battle experiences, they clearly understood how dangerous and ruthless the uing battles were going to be.

    Explosive Man slid the people who took the easy way out a condescending re before muttering, ¡°A bunch of trash.¡±

    Meanwhile, Meng Hao¡¯s forehead creased together at this sight. Thispetition waspletely different from what he had imagined. His initial attempts at winning people¡¯ heart had failed resoundingly, ¡°At this rate, I can only try my best and be the champion. When I am crowned the cat king of Jiangmen City ...¡±

    All these time, Yue Shan was hiding beneath his mask with his eyes fixed on Explosive Man. This apostle¡¯s strength was far worse than he had assumed.

    ¡°He is exactly the same as Inspector Ho¡¯s description. His power was equally strong in terms of destructive power, offensive capabilities and even agility. I guess he is my biggest threat to earning that title.¡±

    Cat king of the north bellowed inughter as he observed the people who chose to remain in thepetition, ¡°All right guys, this is yourst chance. There is still time if you decide to give up now. Even though Li Li and I will be monitoring the remainingpetition, we cannot guarantee that you will leave thispetition unscathed. After all, this is war.¡±

    Following his warnings, another two groups decided to heed his advice and left thepetition.

    Approximately 10 kilometers away stood a warship resting in the middle of the sea. Inspector Ho was inside watching the live telecast of thepetition.

    Every single inch of the ind was monitored with a camera. They even employed drone cameras to serve as backup cameras. This allowed him to monitor the situation on the ind perfectly.

    Lin Chen¡¯s forehead creased together when he realized just how tense the events had turned out. Initially, he was just dispatched here to alleviate the problem of manpower shortage. Seeing the situation, he could not help butmented, ¡°Sir, is there really a need to make things so dramatic?¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± Inspector Ho replied sternly, ¡°If we were representing the government, it would be unwise to resort to such measures. However, the four cat kings are the ones under the spotlight right now. They belong to the dark side of the world of superpower. With them around, we can do anything we want.

    Furthermore, thispetition is supposed to act as a deterrent in the world of apostles and supercats. The champion should be someone that would cause your chests to tighten with fear. If it was just some simple tussle between them, what¡¯s the point of even crowning the ultimate victor the cat king of Jiangmen City?

    The champion must be someone who managed to ovee the entire bloodbath and remain standing at the end of the day. Only then would they submit to his rule.

    And those who are unhappy with the entire organization and the four cat kings would simply jump onto our side at the end of the day.¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao nced at the pair of Liu Yun and her cat before whispering, ¡°How is it? I strongly encourage you to quit thispetition. You guys have seen it for yourself. This is extremely dangerous.¡±

    ...

    The Serval cat balled her paws together before shaking her head violently. Her eyes glimmered with resolve as she announced, ¡°I will follow King George!¡±

    Matcha swung his head gleefully before whispering to himself, ¡°I knew that some bitch out there would know how to appreciate just how great I am.¡±

    Liu Yun rested her head against her hands and deliberated over the matter for quite some time. A tinge of hesitation shed across her eyes as she spoke, ¡°I will just be a burden if I join you. In that case, I¡¯ll just ...¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head with a smile stered on his face. He thought, ¡°Liu Yun is a smart girl. It would be so troublesome if she actually tagged along and dragged me down.¡±

    He then fixed his eyes on thest remaining target, Xiao Yu, and asked, ¡°How about you? Firstly, I have to ask you a question. Are you even an apostle? Do you have any abilities at all?¡±

    ¡°Lame. Obviously, I¡¯m an apostle. I might even be stronger than you. Also, this is my shot at a rags to riches story.¡± However, Xiao Yu slid Fish Ball a condescending re before instructing him, ¡°Fish Ball, you are too weak. Without an apostle, I¡¯ll encourage you to leave thispetition. We will find you after winning thispetition.¡±

    Actually, cat king of the north¡¯s announcement had already sent shivers running down Fish Ball¡¯s spine. Xiao Yu¡¯s words were simply music to his ears as he hurriedly escaped to the elimination zone. With all these powerful apostles surrounding him, Fish Ball felt like a rat caught between a pack of cats.

    ¡°Alright, I guess the remaining contenders are those genuinely interested in thepetition. In that case, enjoy your rest while you can. The first round of elimination willmence in half an hour.¡±

    Hence, Zhao Yao, Liu Yun, Xiao Yu, the husky, the Serval cat and the invisible Roly Poly gathered at a small fire which crackled and spat sparks at them. This brief respite was extremely short. Soon, half an hour had passed and the cat king of the north had returned.

    ¡°This will mark the start of the first round of elimination. Look around you! In the middle of this ind stands a huge forest. I have scattered dozens of toy soldiers and cameras all over the ce.¡±

    ¡°However, only 32 of these toy soldiers have a handmade sapphire embedded at the back of their heads. You will earn the qualification to proceed to the next round if you manage to retrieve the sapphire and make it back to the beach within one hour¡¯s time!¡±

    ¡°You are allowed to snatch the sapphire throughout the course of the entirepetition. However, there are two pointers that you must take note of.

    Firstly, we will stop you if you resort to any methods which might potentially threaten your opponent¡¯s life. From there, the aggressor will also be eliminated from the race.

    Secondly, each pair cannot have more than one sapphire with them at any point in time. Anyone caught flouting the rules will face immediate elimination.

    Each sapphire has been attached with our own GPS system. Furthermore, we have cameras strategically located at every corner of the ind. Hence, do not even think about flouting the rules.¡±

    A giant screen unfurled in the elimination zone as cat king of the north continued with his exnation. On it were all the footages captured by the cameras. You could even spot the toy soldiers with their rifles slung across their backs.

    Tiny blue dots, which represented the sapphire¡¯s location, were scattered all over the map. They were roaming aimlessly around the ind alongside the toy soldiers.

    Meng Hao¡¯s pupils constricted as he whispered to himself, ¡°In that case, even the apostles and supercats which are eliminated would be able to see the live telecast! This is the best opportunity to leave a good impression and attract people to join me!¡±

    After given it much consideration, Meng Hao threw his hands in the air and asked, ¡°Are we allowed to form alliances in this part of thepetition?¡±

    ¡°Whatever floats your boat!¡± The cat king of the north cackled before continuing, ¡°I don¡¯t care if you form alliances or betray your friends as long as you do not kill anyone.¡±

    Suddenly, another arm shot into the air as the Explosive Man roared, ¡°What if we identally destroy the sapphire?¡±

    Cat king of the north replied, ¡°These are sapphires which I have created with my very own hands. I am fairly confident in their strength. However, if you are caught destroying the sapphires intentionally, you will also be automatically eliminated from the race.¡±

    Explosive Man curled his lips in disgust and scoffed.

    Zhao Yao threw his hands in the air and asked, ¡°What if fewer than 32 participants managed to return with a sapphire at the end of the one hour?¡±

    ¡°The first round ofpetition will end at the one hour mark. Naturally, those without the sapphires will be disqualified.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head as a glimmer of excitement shed across his eyes.

    ¡°Are they any more questions?¡± The cat king of the north swept his eyes across the beach. A moment of silence ensued before he raised his paw in the air and announced, ¡°In that case, let thepetition begin!¡±

    Following his roar, the entire crowd dispersed from the beach and disappeared towards the forest.

    As expected, Explosive Man was all the way at the front with air currents propelling him forward. He sprang from one ce to another and was the first to enter the dense forest. The Siamese cat grabbed onto his neck for dear life as a frown crept up its face, ¡°Why is thispetition so troublesome?¡±

    Yue Shan began pulling his twopanions into the forest with the help of his psychokinesis. With their bodies levitating in mid-air, they too made their way into their objective.

    The three of them entered the race alone, without their supercats.

    Somehow, Yue Shan seemed to know where the sapphires were hiding and made a dash in a specific direction. Actually, he already knew the entirepetition process at the back of his head as the predetermined winner. With his game-winning nid out in front of him, he went about executing it without a shred of hesitation.

    Meng Hao carefully observed the situation as an rm rang in his head, ¡°These people are no pushovers. I guess I should pick a different direction instead.¡±

    With that, he grabbed the white British Shorthair by his feet before calling on his twopanions to enter the forest. To y safe, he chose a different route from Yue Shan and Explosive Man.

    Zhao Yao also made his way into the forest but abruptly stopped right next to a tree. This was barely 100 meters from the starting point.

    ¡°Zhao Yao! All of them are already so far ahead of you! What are you even waiting for?¡± Xiao Yu threw her hands in the air before venting all her frustration on Noodle¡¯s head, leaving him seething with anger.

    ¡°Do not worry. I have a foolproof n that would definitely work. However, I would like to try to eliminate some of the contestants right now.¡± Zhao Yao slowly shut his eyes and began contemting the situation.

    At the same time, he raked his fingers through the Serval cat¡¯s back before instructing, ¡°Talk to the seagulls and let them monitor the situation on the ind. Remember to keep a close eye on the elimination zone.¡±

    Meanwhile, the conditions in the elimination zone were a far crypared to the dense and humid forest. Other than bread, water and fire, the eliminated contestants even had all kinds of tidbits, rags, sleeping bags, hammocks to ensure afortable rest.

    At the front of the elimination zone stood arge screen monitor which gave a live broadcast of the situation within the ind.

    Suddenly, cat king of the north¡¯s voice sounded from all directions, ¡°Finally, the heart-thumpingpetition has begun! Let¡¯s look at how our contestants are doing!¡±

    Following his introduction, a series of red dots magically appeared all over the map. Unlike the blue dots, these red dots, which represented the contestants¡¯ locations, were whizzing across the forest.

    Cat king of the north stared at the red dots scattered all over the map and sniggered, ¡°Just look at how excited they are!¡±

    Liu Yun was sittingfortably in a recliner, with Fish Ball resting in her arms. Her heart skipped a beat when she was struck with a sudden realization as she looked towards her own number.

    ¡°Is the GPS locating system hidden inside our racing bib?¡±

    These racing bibs were distributed by the organizers when the participants first boarded the ocean liner. From the looks of it, some sort of tracking device was also attached to it.

    Cat king of the north¡¯s captivatingmentary attracted the attention of many eliminated contestants. Even though they were already disqualified, they were still fairly interested in its oue. After all, a battle of superpowers was far and few between, a rare sight to ordinary civilians.

    Suddenly, thementator (cat king of the north) guffawed as he pointed to a specific point on the map, ¡°The first battle has already begun! This is way quicker than I had imagined!¡±

    With the footage erged, the viewers could watch Explosive Man slowly descend from the air before getting surrounded by tens of armed toy soldiers.

    The corner of thementator¡¯s lips curled upwards as he announced excitedly, ¡°Let us have a look! This is the first fight between the toy soldiers and our contestants. I¡¯m curious to find out more about him, hmph ... This is the pair of cat king hailing from Guang Ming district. They are Pork Chop and his apostle, Explosive Man!¡±

    Naturally, these were the information provided by the contestants when they first registered for thepetition via their superphones. However, not many bothered to fill up using their real names.

    Thementator dered excitedly, ¡°Explosive Man is somehow capable of producing a sudden burst of strength. This allows him to propel his body over long distances and even fly at low altitude.

    However, my toy soldiers are no pushover as well. These toy soldiers are imbued with the physical gifts of a grown man. The rifles they are equipped with are also loaded with rubber bullets.

    But you should never underestimate the strength of these rubber bullets. Even though I have intentionally reduced its power, eliminating the risks of death, getting hit by these bullets were as good as getting struck by a baton. Furthermore, if you are hit by these bullets at short distances, it would create a devastating pain which will even cause grown men to scream like a girl.¡±

    Fish Ball began shuddering the moment thementator¡¯s words rang in his ears. He could not help but feel relieved for exiting thepetition.

    ¡°This battle of superpower is simply too dangerous.¡± With a wide grin stered on his face, Fish Ball buried his head in Liu Yun¡¯s chest, ¡°I, Fish Ball, deserve thisfortable chair as I lie down here and watch others struggle to survive.¡±

    Meanwhile, Explosive Man startedughing when he was greeted by this ridiculous scene. He instantly bolted towards the toy soldiers with air currents exploding from his sole.

    Explosive Man¡¯s insane power was borrowed from his supercat , the Siamese cat. To put it simply, he could detonate any non-living matter which his body came into contact with. Moreover, he could even control the direction of the impact from the detonation.

    This meant that he was unable to blow up living matters such as humans and cats. However, non-living matters such as clothes, air molecules and houses were his ideal explosive material. The strength of the desaturation was also dependent on the quality of the explosive material.

    With this power, he was able to send shock waves and heat waves sweeping towards his enemies, while remaining unscathed himself. With thew of action-reaction, he could even move around at an astounding speed or even fly at low heights.

    With all eyes staring at him, Explosive Man simply burst towards the hordes of toy soldiers at warp speed. Every step he took produced an extraordinary amount of force which sent dust particles flying into the air. With his great speed and the smokescreen formed by the settling dust, none of the bullets even managed to touch him as he continued his onught.

    Suddenly, a series of loud explosions could be heard from even the elimination zone as Explosive Man sent the toy soldiers flying in the air before their bodies disintegrated and settled as stardust.

    Explosive Man stared at the ruins from his devastation and scoffed, ¡°No sapphire?¡±

    Thementator continued his boratementary as the battle unfolded, ¡°Wow, his explosive prowess is simply off the charts! He was able to get rid of so many toy soldiers in a blink of an eye! This contestant is definitely one that you should take note of! I¡¯m putting my money on him to make it through to the round of 32.¡±

    The elimination zone broke into chatters as they witnessed just how strong Explosive Man was from his impable performance.

    ¡°He¡¯s so strong! Anyone would have died from that attack!¡±

    ¡°I never expected such a strong contender to be part of thispetition. Thank god I am already out of it.¡±

    Now, the cameras were focused on the action somewhere else. Yue Shan was speeding down a path before loads of rubber bullets rained down on him, obstructing his progress. However, the bullet suddenly stopped mid-air before dropping to the ground. Immediately, the toy soldiers were restrained by an invisible force as they were lifted into the air before getting crushed by the same potent force.

    Meanwhile, Meng Hao and his twopanions started mutating before transforming into a lion hybrid, tiger hybrid, and wolf hybrid respectively. Huge and well-defined muscles adorned their new bodies as they gnashed their teeth in anger. Their strength had far surpassed that of any ordinary humans.

    The British Shorthairs, which Meng Hao and his gang had adopted, were brothers by blood. Hence, they unleashed a simr power the day they were awakened ¨C the power to turn into beasts.

    The three beast hybrid just charged towards the toy soldiers at one go. They did not even bother to dodge the bullets as they were intercepted by their thick fur and tough muscles. This attack did no damage to them but fanned their anger as they let out a menacing growl.

    On the other end of the ind, Chimera was speeding through the forest by controlling a 10-meter long fire dragon. The fire dragon instantly burnt the toy soldiers to a crisp when it went past them.

    There was also a Garfield cat traveling inside the forest alone. Suddenly, it let out a weak growl as tens of shadows appeared behind it. These shadows were no ordinary shadows. They were tangible beings which charged towards the toy soldiers before taking them down effortlessly.

    The viewers stared wide-eyed at the screen as they witnessed just how strong the remaining contestants actually were. Most of those who were eliminated had only used their abilities for small fights and tussles. They had never been involved in a battle of this scale. Hence, they were totally foreign to these potent powers.

    Liu Yun¡¯s forehead creased together when she observed just how strong they were, ¡°These contestants are so strong ...¡± She began to worry about Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Haha, all these contestants seem so excited, eh?¡± thementator suddenly paused in his exnation before resuming, ¡°But three groups of contestants have not moved an inch since the start of thepetition.¡±

    At this moment, Zhao Yao appeared on therge screen standing in the elimination zone.

    Zhao Yao, the Serval cat, Matcha, Xiao Yu and her husky simply sat at the foot of a tree.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes remained tightly shut together as he began to brainstorm his next course of action.

    ¡°My power of timefreeze is enough for me to steal the sapphires from any contestants. My road to victory is simple and clear, just steal three sapphires.¡±

    ¡°However, what if I take this to the next level? If we are the only three contestants to make it through this round, we will automatically win the top three prizes.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s brows started to knit together as he pondered, ¡°So I just have to use timefreeze to get rid of the remaining sapphires. Should I absorb them into the extradimensional belly? No. These sapphires are embedded with a tracking device. Absorbing them into the belly will be as good as flouting the rules.

    If the organizers realize that I am cheating so tantly, they will simply change the rules to work against me.

    I need toe up with an even less conspicuous method, something smarter. I need to eliminate everyone without destroying the sapphires ...¡±

    Thementator stared at the screen with his forehead furrowed together as he muttered, ¡°This is very strange. All the contestants should already be fighting against the toy soldiers or locating the sapphires, so what exactly are these people up to? Let me take a look, they are King George and Daniel Wu, the quintessential fake names.

    Beside them are cat king Tiny, cat king Noodle and his apostle, Xiaolongn¨¹.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t even know that dogs could also be awakened. As a matter of fact, this is the first time I have even heard of a superdog.¡± Thementator looked towards the crowd and asked, ¡°How do you think they will fare in thepetition?¡±

    The crowd simply stared at them before erupting into their small discussions.

    ¡°I think they are just moments from giving up.¡±

    ¡°I would also give up if I found myself caught in this situation. Why would I throw my life away for something as stupid as this?¡±

    ¡°I think that guy has the ability to control marine life but I don¡¯t think that girl has any useful abilities. I¡¯m sure she will give up.¡±

    Liu Yun¡¯s forehead creased together as she listened to their conversations. She could not help but worry about them.

    At this moment, Zhao Yao disappeared from the screen as the cameras focused on Explosive Man. With streams of air current exploding from his feet, he was already making his way back to the beach from the forest. From the minimap at the corner of the screen, the red dot was returning with the blue dot.

    ¡°Haha, everyone! Take a look! Explosive Man has already found the sapphire. I guess he is the first contestant to make it past this round ofpetition. He is truly remarkable!¡± Thementator announced.

    Because of Zhao Yao¡¯s position, Explosive Man sped past him when making his way back to the starting point.

    When Explosive Man whizzed past Zhao Yao, their eyes actually met for a split second. However, Explosive Man could not even be bothered by either Zhao Yao or Xiao Yu. He simply cocked his head towards his destination and continued flying back at warp speed.

    ording to the rules, the participant must return to the beach with the sapphire in hand in order to advance to the next stage.

    Explosive Man reached his hand into the pocket only to realize that it was empty.

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    At the same time, the viewers in the elimination zone were equally baffled by this scene.

    Thementator stroked his chin thoughtfully as he observed the minimap, ¡°This is interesting.¡±

    ...

    On the other hand, while Explosive Man was fuming with anger as he made his way past Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao simply looked into Xiao Yu¡¯s eyes before muttering, ¡°Take a look at your pocket.¡±

    Xiao Yu¡¯s eyelids quivered when she reached her hands into her pocket. She could feel the jagged edges of the precious gem and was so surprised to find it lying in her pocket. With a face of astonishment, she asked Zhao Yao, ¡°How did you even do that? Weren¡¯t you just sitting down here the entire time? Where is this sapphire from? Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s a forgery.¡±

    Zhao Yao grabbed the sapphire from her hands and replied, ¡°You are the only forgery around here. If you don¡¯t want it, I can just throw it away.¡±

    ¡°I want it!¡± Xiao Yu cried as she snatched the sapphire back from Zhao Yao before cradling it in her arms. Her lips curled into a smile as she stared at her ticket to the next round ofpetition. However, a tinge of fear crossed her eyes as she looked towards him, ¡°What will happen to you then?¡±

    ¡°You are simply a burden if you stay here. I have alreadye up with a wless n. If it works, we will be the only contestants making it through to the next stage. We will instantly be the top three winners. Then, we will just decide the champion, first runner-up, second runner-up amongst ourselves.¡± Zhao Yao bit on his lower lip when he recalled his mission before retracting his statement, ¡°However, I must be the champion.¡± He then nudged Xiao Yu to make her way to the finishing point.

    Xiao Yu was staring at Zhao Yao with a very serious and solemn expression. Suddenly, her lips parted as she muttered, ¡°Yao Er, if you do not make it through this round and I sessfully im the top three prizes, I will ...¡± Her forehead creased together at this moment as a hint of hesitation shed across her eyes, ¡°I will ... split the prize with you.¡± It took her lots of effort to say that.

    ¡°Alright, stop your stupid bbering. I can win the title whenever I want.¡±

    The husky shot out his tongue before screaming at Xiao Yu, ¡°Let¡¯s go Xiao Yu! We will get the reward the moment we advance through the first round. The reward is the cat food that we had just now and an autograph signed by cat king of the north himself!¡±

    Bam! Zhao Yao sent a p across his head as the Husky copsed to the ground, with a dejected face.

    Suddenly, Nekomata slowly appeared from the husky¡¯s back and whispered to himself, ¡°Illusion, timefreeze, and also that ability called extradimensional belly ...¡± Other than Zhao Yao himself, Nekomata was the most knowledge about his abilities. He had witnessed how strong Zhao Yao was and had absolute confidence in him.

    ¡°There¡¯s nothing for me to worry if Zhao Yao¡¯s around. I better make sure he doesn¡¯t realize that I¡¯m also here.¡±

    Zhao Yao could finally breathe a sigh of relief with Xiao Yu returning to the beach. He asked the Serval cat telepathically, ¡°How¡¯s the situation in the forest?¡±

    ...

    Thementator¡¯s jaw went ck as he roared, ¡°Huh? Everyone, something extremely strange urred just now when Explosive Man¡¯s sapphire disappeared. Somehow, a sapphire magically appeared in Xiaolongn¨¹¡¯s hands. This means that she had stolen the sapphire using some sort of power.

    However, she is a heartless woman, leaving herpanion alone while she advances to the next stage.¡±

    Xiao Yu rasied the sapphire in her hands after reaching the beach to a chorus of apuse as thementator announced, ¡°Let¡¯s wee our first participant!¡±

    Xiao Yu waspletely indifferent to the apuse as she set on the ground with her head nestled in Noodle¡¯s belly. Because of her status as an active participant, she was not allowed to return to the elimination zone afterpleting this round. Hence, she could not watch the live broadcast of thepetition from the screen.

    Meanwhile, Fish Ball who was resting in Liu Yun¡¯s arms stared at the screen when a glimmer shed across his eyes, ¡°At this rate, everyone¡¯s eyes will be on Zhao Yao. Judging from his character, he is definitely up to something evil. However, I don¡¯t think he knows about the tracking device in the race bib.¡±

    With that thought in his head, he craned his neck upwards and saw lots of seagulls encircling the ind.

    Suddenly, Fish Ball sprang from Liu Yun¡¯s arms before making his way to a secluded part of the elimination zone.

    Liu Yun gave chase only to find him shooting a beam of light at the sky.

    ¡°Fish Ball, what are you doing?¡±

    ¡°Roly Poly, activate invisibility now.¡±

    Once Zhao Yao gave the order, the fat cat used his power to conceal Zhao Yao, Matcha, the Serval, and himself from sight.

    The disappearing act did not go unnoticed by the Cat King of the North. He instantly switched to Zhao Yao¡¯s video feed.

    ¡°Huh? It seems that either Daniel Wu or Tiny can be invisible. We can¡¯t see them and neither can the camera capture them. Well, I have to say this woulde in handy in ourpetition. Let¡¯s see if they¡¯re able to use it to their advantage!¡±

    After a pause, the King of the North continued, ¡°We can tell from the satellite map that they¡¯ve not moved at all since bing invisible. We can only wonder what they are waiting for.¡±

    ¡°Is it finally my turn to shine? I¡¯m suffocating in here,¡± Roly Polyined.

    The Serval cat¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°There¡¯s another cat in there? Isn¡¯t that against the rules?¡±

    ¡°Yes, it is. This is called cheating,¡± Matcha said unabashedly, extending each and every one of his ws, ¡°Winninges with sacrifices. I¡¯ll do whatever it takes.¡±

    The Serval¡¯s eyes shone brightly with admiration.

    ¡°I don¡¯t quite understand what that means,¡± she admitted, ¡°But I do know you looked super cool when you said it!¡±

    ¡°Alright, alright, knock it off,¡± Zhao Yao waved a hand at the cats, ¡°Tiny, who¡¯s heading to the finish line with sapphires in hand? Could you ask your seagulls to investigate from the video footage in the elimination zone?¡±

    The Serval¡¯s eyes zed white as she entered the mind of one of her seagull friends.

    ¡°Three sapphires are moving towards the beach right now. Wait a minute, Fishball seems to be sending us some kind of signal?¡±

    ¡°Signal?¡± Zhao Yao raised an eyebrow, ¡°Take a closer look.¡±

    A seagullnded gracefully on the ground. It tilted its head in puzzlement as it looked at the cat, whom rushed forward to meet it. Fishball pointed at the ground surreptitiously. Then, he unleashed two beams of light on the ground, which disyed a line of text.

    ¡®The number tags have trackers. We can see every contestant¡¯s location on the big screen.¡¯

    The Serval read this aloud to Zhao Yao when she saw the words.

    ¡°That¡¯s good news,¡± Zhao Yao said brightly, ¡°Now we know where everyone is. Serval, station your seagull in the elimination zone and make sure it watches the screen closely.¡±

    He then switched to Dust Ball¡¯s power and spat out Gaia from the extradimensional belly.

    A confused Gaia looked around at his new surroundings.

    ¡°Have I fainted again because I spent too much time on theputer?¡± he wondered aloud.

    ¡°You¡¯ve not fainted. It¡¯s just your turn to contribute,¡± Zhao Yao exined, tugging the number tag over the cat¡¯s head.

    Gaia leaped onto the ground, then sunk right into it. The n was to have him explore this little ind and mislead everyone about Zhao Yao¡¯s actual location.

    Of course, Gaia could not venture too deep into the earth or the tracker¡¯s signal will be gone.

    *

    ¡°Hello there, brother. What were you doing just now?¡±

    The Cat King of the North had snuck up to Fishball. He surveyed him with narrowed eyes.

    ¡°You weren¡¯t sending some kind of message, were you?¡± he asked sternly.

    Fishballughed at his face in response.

    ¡°Of course not! I would never do that. I felt a bit restless is all. I thought dancing might help energize me.¡±

    With that, he started twisting and turning his body rhythmically, shing rays of colored light like a disco ball.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t dancing the best?¡± Fishball grinned.

    He started singing and dancing on his own, his body drenched in vibrant colors.

    The King of the North gawked at him.

    ¡°Your power is..?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s more than just producing light, I guarantee you. The true power of the light is that it makes me really popr!¡± Fishball replied happily.

    Sure enough, many of the cats have rushed forward, chasing the light and meowing loudly.

    ¡°Ain¡¯t this cat interesting?¡±

    ¡°Yeah! He¡¯s quite a good dancer, isn¡¯t he?¡±

    The Cat King of the North watched wordlessly as a group of female cats surrounded Fishball excitedly. He pursed his lips, then walked back to his seat in front of the big screen.

    He switched back tomentary mode in an instant.

    ¡°Let¡¯s check in on how our contestants are doing. Oh? Daniel Wu¡¯s invisible team is now on the move. Unfortunately, we can¡¯t catch them on camera. Are they going to stay invisible throughout thepetition?¡±

    Of course, the trackers were actually on Gaia, who was tunneling through the ground enthusiastically. With everyone¡¯s eyes off their backs, Zhao Yao brought Roly Poly, Matcha, and the Serval to the entrance of the pit stop.

    ¡°Hurry! A lot of people are heading to the entrance right now!¡± the Serval eximed.

    The Cat King of the North noticed this movement as well.

    ¡°It seems that more contestants have located sapphires! They¡¯re about to reach the finishing line. Let¡¯s see who we have here.¡±

    Live footage of Yue Shan and his team was disyed on the screen. They were making a beeline for the beach entrance.

    From the corner of the screen, Explosive Man could be spotted soaring towards the entrance as well.

    ¡°It¡¯s the Telekic Knights, with Explosive Maning in fast as well! He might have had a setback, but he¡¯s back in the game again!¡±

    ¡°What will happen when they meet? There shouldn¡¯t be any conflict since they¡¯re all got sapphires, but you never know. Are we looking at our second, third, fourth, and fifth contenders for the next round?¡±

    On a naval vessel many kilometers away, Inspector Ho watched thepetition unfold with relief.

    ¡°Looks like the first round is sessful. We won¡¯t have to step in at all,¡± he nodded.

    Lin Chen was standing next to him, his eyes on the screen as well. He said, ¡°Explosive Man¡¯s going to be tricky to handle. If he makes it to the third round, he¡¯ll be a threat to Yue Shan.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re right,¡± the Inspector agreed.

    There was a steely glint in his eye.

    ¡°We¡¯ve got to interfere in the next round then. He has to be eliminated,¡± he continued.

    Their discussion came to a halt when a disturbance was shown on screen. Both the Inspector and Lin Chen wore perplexed expressions.

    The Cat King of the North was confused as well.

    ¡°Strange. It seems like there¡¯s trouble brewing between the Knights and Explosive Man. What¡¯s happening? Our cameras are unable to record sound, so we have no clue what they¡¯re saying.But everyone looks very, very angry.¡±

    *

    The root of the problem was Zhao Yao.

    Now that he was near the finish line, he needed to hatch a n to secure a sapphire quickly.

    ¡°Inspector Ho already knows about my illusions. I can¡¯t conjure them openly, or my identity might be exposed,¡± he thought.

    ¡°I need to manipte my skill such that its true nature is undetectable.¡±

    He scratched the bottom of his chin thoughtfully and wondered, ¡°How do antagonists normally antagonize people?¡±

    His face was scrunched up as he went through some ideas. It lit up when hended on a brilliant one. With a gleeful smirk, he created an auditory illusion that was sent to both parties.

    After a beat, Explosive Man heard the Knights shout at him.

    ¡°Hey, moron!¡±

    He whipped his head around, furrowing his brows at the trio.

    He heard Yue Shan say to him, ¡°Kid, if you kneel down now, kowtow to us, then hand us your sapphire, we¡¯ll consider just breaking one of your legs.¡±

    The Knights erupted with deviousughter after that.

    The vein on Explosive Man¡¯s forehead was visibly throbbing. In a fit of fury, heunched himself into the air, ring at the trio.

    The three of them stared up at him, perplexed.

    The tall one spoke first, ¡°Why does that guy look so mad?¡±

    The short one agreed, ¡°He looks like he wants to ughter us. Has either one of you ever offended him or something?¡±

    They watched as he descended on them.

    The Explosive Man¡¯s sent a chill down their spines.

    ¡°Telekic Knights, no one will be able to save you today. Give me your sapphires now, or I will rip you from limb to limb.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 321: The Fight that Zhao Yao Started</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    There was a pinch in Yue Shan¡¯s eyebrows.

    He looked at the Explosive Man seriously.

    ¡°Are you hearing what you¡¯re saying?¡±

    The innocuous question never reached the Explosive Man. Instead, what he heard was Zhao Yao¡¯s heavily edited version.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to count to 10. If you do not get on your knees and beg for forgiveness by the time I reach 10, you¡¯ll suffer a fate worse than death.¡±

    Explosive Man fixed his eyes on Yue Shan. ¡°Have you guys gone mad?¡±

    Once again, that went through the Zhao Yao filter and came out as, ¡°It¡¯s been decided then? I¡¯ll have you know the more you fight it, the more excited I get.¡±

    The super creepy threat raised the hairs on the Telekic Knights¡¯ necks. Two of them lunged forward, but Yue Shan raised a hand to stop them from attacking.

    ¡°Don¡¯t be rash. There¡¯s no point in this. We¡¯re near the pit stop. Let¡¯s just get there.¡±

    He then turned to face Explosive Man, arms raised in surrender.

    ¡°We don¡¯t mean any offence,¡± he stated firmly.

    Explosive Man could see the gesture, but what he heard waspletely different.

    To him, Yue Shan was still talking trash, ¡°See this? I don¡¯t even need a weapon in my hand to fight you. I¡¯m going to start counting now.¡±

    ¡°One...two...three...four...¡±

    The vein running down the Man¡¯s forehead was bulging again. It looked as if it would break through the skin¡¯s surface.

    He was seething with rage.

    This time, Zhao Yao did not even have to transform his words.

    ¡°I¡¯ll grant you your death wish.¡±

    Heunched himself at the trio.

    *

    ¡°Hey?! What¡¯s this?¡± the Cat King of the North eximed, staring at the showdown on the screen with his mouth wide open, ¡°Don¡¯t know what happened between them, but they¡¯re fighting. They¡¯re actually fighting.¡±

    Explosive Man had propelled himself forward with the explosive energy he generated. Yue Shan responded by raising his hand and clenching his fist. He had bound the man with a telekic grip, but that was shattered when he made a series of explosions.

    The Explosive Man was still fighting to reach the Knights.

    The impact of their collision was earth-shattering. The camera could not pick up the sonorous boom that it created, but it recorded the mushroom of smoke and dust that erupted.

    One of the Knights ran straight into the middle of the sh.

    The King of the North noticed.

    ¡°Gosh! One of the Knights just charged right into the battle. Let me see, I have no idea who¡¯s this...Metalhead? Yes, Metalhead has gone in!¡± he shouted.

    As the dust settled, the outline of Explosive Man holding Metalhead in a chokehold. He broke into another explosion, which ripped Metalhead¡¯s clothing into shreds, revealing the cocoon of metal that had wrapped around every part of his body.

    Metalhead threw a punch at Explosive Man¡¯s chest.

    They were called the Telekic Knights, but that was technically incorrect. Only Yue Shan had telekinesis. Metalhead was a metal man, while the remaining teammate was more like a rubber man.

    Thebined impact of their powers was astounding, so Explosive Man was quickly subdued.

    ¡°The Explosive Man is down! The damage from telekinesis is inescapable. The metal man and rubber man are practically human shields. The Telekic Knights make an undefeatable team! The Explosive Man has no chance.¡±

    The Explosive Man knew this as well. There was indignation in his eyes, but he stopped fighting back. Instead, he made a run for the beach.

    He could not win them, at least not now. He would have his chance after he got past this round.

    Time went still before he could take more steps forward.

    The entire world descended into silence.

    ¡°Not so easy,¡± Zhao Yaoughed.

    He had appeared next to the Explosive Man in a split second. He could move and even think six times faster than before. This expanded his 12-second TimeFreeze into afortable 72 seconds.

    In that time, he fished for the sapphire from the Explosive Man¡¯s shirt pocket, then bnced it on the lip of the pocket. He pulled the edge of his shirt.

    When time resumed, the Explosive Man felt a force tug at his shirt as the sapphire dropped to the ground.

    He did not hesitate to jump to the conclusion that Yue Shan was behind this. He was trying to steal his sapphire with telekinesis.

    ¡°What the f**k is wrong with you?!¡± he yelled.

    Heunched another explosion in Yue Shan¡¯s way, not as a form of attack, but a shield. He did not want them to see him as he dived for the fallen sapphire.

    Unfortunately for him, time stopped again when his fingers grazed the gemstone.

    Zhao Yao had appeared next to him once more. He studied the sapphire¡¯s position, looked to Yue Shan, then back again.

    He gave it a forceful kick.

    When the seconds started ticking away again, the sapphire was already hurling towards Yue Shan.

    Yue Shan had no clue what wasing his way. All he saw an iing shadow. Instinctively, he caught it with his telekic force. He dropped the sapphire when he saw what it was.

    Taking more than one sapphire for yourself was grounds for elimination.

    ¡°Explosive Man, take your sapphire and just leave. We¡¯ll take it that nothing happened between us,¡± he suggested.

    Like the Man, Yue Shan had no desire to continue battling. He just wanted to advance to the next round.

    Of course, this intention waspletely lost in trantion thanks to Zhao Yao.

    His words sounded like a challenge in Explosive Man¡¯s ears, ¡°The sapphire is right here, kid. Why don¡¯t you get on all fours and crawl to me like a good dog? You can hold it in your mouth like a frisbee, then crawl back like the good dog that you are.¡±

    mes were practically erupting from his eyes.

    ¡°You...are...too...much..!¡±

    The showdown continued. Zhao Yao made sure to stop time whenever there was an explosion. He would turn out the pockets of the Knights and scatter the sapphires. To the undiscerning eye, it looked like they inevitably fell out from the intense scruffle.

    The trio hardly noticed that their gemstones were gone. The Explosive Man kept closing in on them, forcing them further and further away from the entrance.

    He was going at them with all that he got. As government officials, the Telekic Knights could not do the same. They could only defend themselves as best as possible.

    ¡°This is unbelievable,¡± the Cat King of the Northmented, ¡°There must be bad blood between those two. Why else would they fight to the death when they just met?¡±

    There was a flurry of discussion among the captive audience in the elimination zone. It seemed like no one expected such a fierce battle to actually take ce in thepetition. The weird part was it seemed to have started for no reason at all.

    Liu Yun was one of those who had no clue what was going on. Fishball, however, had an inkling.

    ¡°Why do I feel that this has something to do with that Zhao Yao fe?¡± he wondered, eyes glued to the screen.

    On the naval vessel, Inspector Ho mmed both hands on the desk angrily.

    ¡°What the hell is this?¡± he demanded, ¡°Why have Yue Shan and the team started a fight with Explosive Man? Did we not tell them that the objective of this round is to just pass? We take outpetitors the next round!¡±

    Lin Chen was still standing next to him. Compared to the Inspector, he was the paragon of calm.

    ¡°It¡¯ll be fine. It¡¯s only been 15 minutes. Yue Shan still has 45 minutes to get to the pit stop,¡± he said.

    Now that the fight he started was in full swing, Zhao Yao was ready to execute the next stage of his n.

    He instructed the Serval to keep an eye on the video footage of the battle, then took his leave.

    Chimera strolled through the woods in a s¨¦ fashion.

    He was surrounded by a group of dragons. They were made entirely of fire and emitted so much heat that everypetitor they met dived out of the way.

    Despite this, he still had not located a sapphire.

    ¡°Baka, where could the sapphire be?¡±

    This thought had barely crossed his mind when he picked up someone else¡¯s voice. The voice spoke in a hushed, urgent whisper.

    ¡°Wow! Look! There¡¯s a sapphire here!¡±

    ¡°There are so many of them!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t move! The sapphires are mine!¡±

    There were, of course, no sapphires. Zhao Yao was up to no good again except this time, he had a new victim.

    He stood right beside Chimera as he conjured the illusion of the hushed discussion.

    A glimmer of hope shone in Chimera¡¯s eyes. He cheered quietly as he headed towards the voices.

    On the other side of the woods, Meng Hao managed to rally more than a dozenpetitors together. Both people and cats looked to him as he spoke.

    ¡°As you all know, we can form alliances in this round of thepetition,¡± he started.

    He cut a fine figure standing before the crowd. He would seem intimidating if not for what he said next.

    ¡°This means that this round isn¡¯t just about our individual strengths, it¡¯s aboutbined power as a team!¡±

    He continued, ¡°I¡¯m sure some of you have already noticed that some contestants are far more powerful than the rest of us. If we want to advance to the next round, we¡¯ll have to stick together and overpower them! We have the numbers they do not!¡±

    The Cat King of the North chuckled as he watched the rousing speech.

    ¡°Well, it looks like Meng Hao intends to form the biggest alliance in thispetition. His strategy is to win by numbers. I have to say it just might work...¡±

    The King of the North¡¯smentary stopped abruptly when Chimera stumbled onto the screen. He had ended up there after following the voices that Zhao Yao put in his head.

    The alliance gawked at him and he gaped back. Neither party expected to meet the other.

    It had gone exactly as Zhao Yao had nned. He nted Chimera¡¯s voice into the ears of the crowd. The voice taunted, ¡°What are you idiots looking at?¡±

    Meng Hao¡¯s eyes widened. He had never met a talking cat before.

    This was a first, but it was notpletely extraordinary. Supercats boasted all kinds of powers. Speech could very well be one of them.

    He wanted to soothe the tense atmosphere, but someone in the crowd (Zhao Yao) beat him to it.

    ¡°What are you looking at, moron?¡±

    Meng Hao let out a sigh.

    ¡°Has that person gone out of his mind? Now¡¯s not the time to start s**t with other people!¡± he thought.

    He turned to face the crowd.

    ¡°Everyone, let¡¯s take a step back and calm down. Our focus is on finding the sapphires. There¡¯s no point in fighting here while the other contestants are getting closer to the gems.¡±

    Through Zhao Yao¡¯s filter, Meng Hao¡¯s words were transformed into, ¡°Brothers and sisters, let¡¯s take this cat down!¡±

    Chimera¡¯s brows stitched together as he narrowed his eyes. In retaliation, he summoned fire dragons to emerge from behind him, ready to pounce.

    Deep down, he did not hope to fight. There were too many people here. There was no telling what sick moves they might have up their sleeves. The dragons were just his way of saying ¡®do not mess with me¡¯. It manages to scare opponents off most of the time.

    This time, however, he was at the mercy of Zhao Yao¡¯s maniptions.

    The trickster had assumed his voice to make yet another taunt.

    ¡°The f**k you looking at, punks? I¡¯ll skin all of you!¡±

    Meng Hao shut his eyes with a heavy sigh.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with this Talking Tom? Does he really want to start a fight?¡± he pondered.

    Zhao Yao had cast an illusion over Chimera such that he looked like the cat from the My Talking Tom app.

    As the Chimera was about to strike the first blow, the camera footage was switched. It cut to a super zoom-in of the Cat King of the North¡¯s face.

    ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, we¡¯ll be back after this short advertisement.¡±

    Jeers erupted from the elimination zone. Everyone was dying to know what was happening out there. Fishball, who was perched on Liu Yun¡¯s shoulder, extended both his middle ws in response.

    A momentter, the ad was over and the screen cut back to Chimera and Meng Hao¡¯s alliance. They were already in the middle of a heated battle.

    The King of the North stared at the screen, confusion clouding his face.

    ¡°Why are kids these days so quick toe to blows?¡±

    No one knew that the answery in Zhao Yao. This was but the beginning of his little scheme. He would first lead contestants to each other. Then, he would deceive them into thinking that the other party was hurling insults their way. This would inevitably descend into a huge fight.

    The chaos was his cover to steal the sapphires in the contestants¡¯ pockets. He would use TimeFreeze to fish them out, then kick and toss them as far away as he could in all directions, making them impossible to retrieve again.

    The toy soldiers the gems had been lodged in were noticeable by the human eye. Without them, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

    The only apostle who could find them with ease was Zhao Yao. The Serval¡¯s seagull spy was nted in the elimination zone and it had a bird¡¯s eye view of the sapphires¡¯ locations on the satellite map.

    Even if a lucky contestant did find a sapphire again, he or she would have to deal with Zhao Yao¡¯s relentless disturbances. The gem would be lost again in no time.

    Inspector Ho let out a deep sigh as he watched the screen.

    ¡°We¡¯ve miscalcted. We should¡¯ve known that the sapphires would be close to impossible to find if lost inbat.¡±

    Lin Chen nodded. ¡°We should¡¯ve given each contestant a tracker as well. That way, they would know where the sapphires are.¡±

    ¡°Well, this is just a lesson, nothing more. We still have the next round. The Cat King of the North would know what to do,¡± the Inspector said.

    He shook his head gravely, eyebrows furrowed.

    ¡°But seriously, did this bunch of punks eat TNT for breakfast growing up? They have such a short fuse!¡±

    The end of the one hour limit quickly drew closer as more time was wasted on fighting. The contestants realized this eventually and turned their attention to locating the missing sapphires one by one.

    Unfortunately, it was toote. The gemstones were scattered everywhere. They could be stuck in the mud, lodged in a log, or perched on a tree branch. They were too small to be spotted and basically impossible to find.

    In the closing minutes of the round, Zhao Yao met up with a disgruntled Gaia, whom returned to the extradimensional belly. With the seagull¡¯s locations coordinates, he could bolt around the forest to find one sapphire for himself, then another for the Serval.

    By the time he dashed towards the beach, there was only one minute left on the clock.

    His sudden appearance caught the eye of the Cat King of the North. He scrambled for the microphone.

    ¡°Everyone, look who¡¯s finally shown up! Daniel Wu has been invisible for practically the entire round. When he does appear, it¡¯s with a sapphire in hand! He¡¯s racing to the finish line!¡±

    Xiao Yu had no clue that Zhao Yao was hurtling towards the beach.

    She had been there for a while now.

    ¡°Left paw,¡± she instructed her husky.

    ¡°Right paw.¡±

    ¡°Lie down.¡±

    Noodle the husky followed her instructions with confidence and ease.

    ¡°Thesemands are far too simple for me! The supercats, however, can¡¯t handle them,¡± he chuckled to himself.

    His glee transformed into incredulity when Xiao Yu gave a newmand.

    ¡°Do a handstand,¡± she said nonchntly.

    Noodle looked at her dumbly.

    ¡°A handstand? You¡¯re asking a dog to do a goddamn handstand?! This counts as animal abuse!¡±

    Xiao Yu sighed. ¡°Well, Noodle, if you can¡¯t even do a handstand, then you¡¯re not as professional as you should be.¡±

    She then turned to face the entrance.

    ¡°Noodle, do you think Zhao Yao will seed?¡±

    The dog huffs a stream of air through his nose in response.

    ¡°That kind of scumbag should just die in there.¡±

    Noodle¡¯s wish, however, was not granted. Loud cheers had erupted from the elimination zone. Every pair of eyes was glued to the screen, which showed Zhao Yao and the Serval crossing the entrance and into the beach in the nick of time.

    They opened their palms to reveal the sapphires within.

    ¡°Unbelievable! This is just unbelievable!¡± the Cat King of the North eximed, ¡°Only three contestants have managed to secure a sapphire. Let¡¯s give a round of apuse for your finalists!¡±

    Xiao Yu rushed forward, a wide grin on her face. She leaped into Zhao Yao¡¯s arms.

    ¡°The house is mine! The house is mine!¡± she cheered.

    That marked the end of this round of thepetition. The rest of the contestants were asked to stop their search and return to the beach immediately. Most of them wore sullen or frustrated expressions. Some had dust, bruises, and dried blood smeared all over their faces.

    They had fought so hard for a big, fat nothing.

    It was no wonder they were staring daggers at Zhao Yao. In their eyes, he did not deserve this victory. He was just some idiot in a ck cloak who avoided being attacked because he could be invisible. He got lucky.

    Of course, Zhao Yao paid no mind to the bone-chilling res that were thrown his way.

    He was happy as a m at high water.

    ¡°Hey, Cat King of the North, since only three of us got past this round, can we go straight to the prize presentation?¡± he asked.

    Zhao Yao received a mysterious smile in return.

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid not. We have two more rounds left in thispetition.¡±

    ¡°But no one else has made it through. We¡¯re the only three left. That makes us the top three. We¡¯ll just split the prizes among ourselves.¡±

    ¡°Unfortunately, that¡¯s not how ourpetition works. Come, let me announce the rules of the second round.¡±

    The King of the North looked at the three finalists.

    ¡°Please look at the sapphire in your hands.¡±

    Zhao Yao, Xiao Yu, and the Serval opened their palms at the same time. A number had appeared on each of their gems. They were marked 32, 31, and 30.

    ¡°If the first round had gone more smoothly, we would our top 32. The first to reach the beach would be allocated 32 points, while thest would receive one point,¡± the King of the North exined.

    ¡°In the second round, all contestants, regardless if you got a sapphire in the first round or not, can fight your fellowpetitors for their gems. At the end of the hour, the eight contestants with the highest number of points will proceed to the third round.¡±

    ¡°Unfortunately, since only three among you can proceed to the next round, we would have to shake things up a bit. Anyone who manages to snatch any of three sapphires here will be a top-three finalist.¡±

    In that moment, every apostle and cat on the beach turned their heads to Zhao Yao, Xiao Yu, and the Serval.

    There was bloodlust in their eyes.

    Xiao Yu could hear her heart thumping in her ears.

    She was beginning to feel afraid. How could she not when there so many hostile eyes were trained on them? She had borrowed Nekomata¡¯s spirit ability and it was a hundred times more useful than Fishball¡¯s disco lights, but it still could not protect her from so many opponents.

    There were close to 50 teams, which amounted to 80 cats and apostles. There was no telling what kind of powers they might have and what damage they might inflict.

    The thought brought on involuntary shivers. Xiao Yu was just a primary school kid after all.

    Zhao Yao gently patted the top of her head.

    ¡°You¡¯re scared?¡± he chuckled.

    ¡°As if,¡± Xiao Yu responded coolly, swatting Zhao Yao¡¯s hand away, ¡°I bet you¡¯re the one who¡¯s scared.¡±

    She was terrified, but there was no way she would let her nephew know that. He would bring this up and mock her for the rest of their lives.

    Zhao Yao gave her a kind smile, then scanned the crowd. His gaze was met with pair after pair of fiercely determined eyes.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Just stay behind me. Everything will be fine.¡±

    Next to his feet, Matcha was performing an encore of his reassuring words.

    The ginger cat patted the Serval¡¯s head. ¡°You¡¯re scared?¡±

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you scared too, King George?¡± she replied nervously, tail drooping.

    Matcha hummed nonmittedly, surveying the crowd as Zhao Yao had done.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Just stay behind me. Everything will be fine,¡± he repeated.

    While Zhao Yao and Matcha were the paragons of calm, Noodle the Husky was the exact opposite. He had quickly cowered behind Xiao Yu, quaking with fear.

    ¡°Idiots! There¡¯s no hope! We are doomed. How can we survive when we are surrounded by so many people?¡±

    There was a pause as his mind flitted from option to option.

    ¡°Oh, right! I can y dead!¡± he thought brightly.

    Noodle recalled the times when Xiao Yu trained him to copse to the ground when she pointed a finger gun at him. He always found it stupid, but the dire state they were in right now elucidated Xiao Yu¡¯s intentions. He was suddenly ovee with gratitude.

    Nekomata narrowed his eyes as he assessed the situation.

    ¡°Zhao Yao may be powerful, but how can one man defeat so many apostles at once? Could it be that he has grown stronger somehow? How is that possible?¡±

    A sly smile yed on his lips. ¡°Interesting... I should observe him further.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯sposed demeanor was noticed by every cat and apostle in the area as well. It fuelled their anger and frustration towards him. To them, this ck Robe Man was an undeserving show-off who was acting cool.

    How could he emerge victorious against 80 of them?

    ¡°Heh heh, I bet we¡¯ll make him cryter. Does he really think that being invisible makes him invincible?¡±

    ¡°When all of us attack him at once, we might just kill him. That would cause a bit of trouble, wouldn¡¯t it?¡±

    ¡°Kid, you might want to hand us the sapphires now. You can be invisible, but you won¡¯t be able to escape so many of us.¡±

    While most of the contestants cast thrash-talk and dirty looks in Zhao Yao¡¯s way, the Explosive Man had his eyes firmly on the Cat King of the North.

    ¡°When does the second round begin?¡± he asked impatiently.

    The King of the North replied, ¡°Everyone must be tired after the first round. Let¡¯s take a half-hour break. After that, we willmence the second round of thispetition. It will begin in the woods as well. It willst an hour. After the hour is over, the contestants that have managed to secure a sapphire will proceed to thest round.¡±

    The Explosive Man glowered at Zhao Yao, Xiao Yu, and the Serval before walking away.

    He thought to himself, ¡°I will have all three sapphires in hand. Then, I will be crowned the Cat King.¡±

    He paid little regard to Zhao Yao¡¯s powers. To him and every other contestant, the three of them only managed to scrape past the first round because of underhanded means and good luck. They were not the actualpetition.

    Yue Shan was quietly surveying Zhao Yao as well. The first round felt almost unjust. It was frustrating. He could have breezed through the first round. Unfortunately, the Explosive Man stood in his way for no good reason. His telekinesis was powerful enough to subdue him, but that would injure him gravely and as a government official, he could not do so.

    ¡°I must secure the sapphires in the next round.¡±

    Zhao Yao did not pay any mind to the aggression that he had be a target of. He focused on getting ready for the next round instead.

    First, he carefully pulled a bva over his head, then strung a surgical mask over his face. There will be a tussleter and he did not want to identally reveal his true identity if some rascal was to pull off his cloak.

    Xiao Yu clenched her hand into a tight fist. She also assumed that Zhao Yao and King George¡¯s only ability was to be invisible. This led her to believe that the responsibility of winning theing battle would rest on her narrow shoulders.

    She looked intently at her fist, which dissolved into a phantom hand. She was perfectly capable of using Nekomata¡¯s power.

    ¡°I¡¯ll have to do my best.¡±

    To Zhao Yao, she said, ¡°Once the second round begins, we¡¯ll enter the woods and throw the sapphires in front of everyone. They¡¯ll all fight for the sapphires. When that happens, I¡¯ll cover you and get you out of there. You don¡¯t have to be afraid. I will never let anything happen to you. If not, your mom will kill me.¡±

    Xiao Yu knew that her spirit power would be able to literally keep both herself and Zhao Yao out of an opponent¡¯s grasp. Once they were safe, she could start thinking about how to get her hands on a sapphire.

    Zhao Yao did not say anything in response. He merely smiled.

    It would be a lie to say that he was not feeling any pressure or worry. He had never had to fend off so many apostles and supercats at once.

    However, he did have a lot of tricks up his sleeve. If he kept a clear head and used the right skills the right way, victory would be his.

    ¡°Invisibility would be useless now. I can¡¯t evade all of them.¡±

    Being invisible was not the same as disappearing after all. The opponents might not be able to see him, but they could definitely touch him. That meant they could hurt him too.

    Meng Hao and his half beasts could easily detect his scent to locate him. Chimera and Explosive Man could set fire to the woods. Yue Shan could identify his whereabouts with his telekinesis.

    ¡°I could conjure an illusion or swallow myself into the belly. To create a realistic illusion, it would have to cover all the senses. Inspector Ho would be able to associate that with me. If I used Suck-Me-In, my signal would vanish unless I get Gaia to help again...¡±

    Zhao Yao passed the first round using deception. He could very well do the same with the second round, but it might not be the right course of action.

    ¡°If I don¡¯t actually show some of my powers, no one would respect me even if I be Cat King,¡± he mused.

    The Cat King of Jiangmen would serve as the leader of all supercats. It was only fitting that the strongest would deserve this position. He would need to show that he had the capacity and might of amander.

    Zhao Yao had always operated from the shadows. He reigned in his powers so that the true extent of his powers remained secret.

    This was his opportunity to finally unleash his full power. He could feel a buzz of excitement.

    The corner of his lips lifted into a smile. He had made up his mind.

    ¡°Guess I¡¯ll fight my way past this round. Let¡¯s get this over and done with.¡±

 Chapter 324: Unstoppable

    <h4>Chapter 324: Unstoppable</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    The elimination zone burst into a chorus of discussion.

    Some gloated over Zhao Yao¡¯s imminent defeat while others seriously analyzed the situation and the possibilities.

    ¡°Well, looks like this is the end of the road for that kid.¡±

    ¡°Not necessarily. If they get rid of the sapphires right at the start, they still stand a chance.¡±

    Some did not understand the design of the second round and those who did, tried to exin.

    ¡°If they threw away the sapphires from the start, it¡¯ll be like starting thepetition all over again. Doesn¡¯t that make the first round pointless?¡±

    ¡°It seems that way because only three contestants got past the first round. Imagine if 32 contestants had one sapphire each. They would definitely not be cornered into tossing their gemstones away. They would begin the second round with a lead.¡±

    Amid the flurry of debate, there seemed to be one thing that everyone agreed on. It was that Zhao Yao had to rid themselves of their sapphires right away.

    There was just no way that they would be able to handle the onught of 80 supercats and apostles.

    This thought simmered in Fishball¡¯s and Liu Yun¡¯s minds. They looked in Zhao Yao¡¯s direction, eyes clouded with worry.

    Half an hourter, chimes started sounding from the loudspeakers, signaling that the short break had ended.

    The Cat King of the North¡¯s voice boomed throughout the ind.

    ¡°May I have your attention, please? The second round of thepetition is about tomence. Contestants, please get ready. Once you have entered the woods, you are free to start fighting for the sapphires. Remember, the rules are the same as before. You can attack an opponent, but the killing of any supercat or apostle is strictly prohibited...¡±

    As the King of the North droned on, apostles and supercats alike started getting on their feet. Their eyes were cast firmly on Zhao Yao.

    Some of them sprinted towards the woods right away. They wanted to block Zhao Yao from getting away if he tried to do so.

    Xiao Yu could feel her heart thumping rapidly against her chest. It was clear that their opponents were not going to go easy on them. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly, forcing herself to calm down and brush aside her nerves.

    Zhao Yao was smiling urbanely as always. He held Xiao Yu¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go. Stick close to me.¡±

    She clicked her tongue.

    ¡°Don¡¯t take advantage of your aunt.¡±

    She snatched her hand back and walked ahead of him instead.

    She had taken barely two steps when she disappeared from sight. Zhao Yao had cloaked Xiao Yu, Noodle the Husky, the Serval, Matcha and himself in invisibility. He also cast a protective force field around them before pulling the entire gang into the woods.

    ¡°First, we¡¯ve got to find a good vantage point,¡± he thought.

    Xiao Yu was struggling to escape the force field. However, no matter how she pushed or tugged, there was no way out.

    Nekomata¡¯s eyes lit up in wonder. He was no stranger to this skill.

    ¡°The deflective field... Seems like Zhao Yao can borrow the powers of multiple supercats. Gaia...Ares...They must all be in his hands.¡±

    ¡°Maybe I should save them,¡± he mused.

    There was an uproar when the contestants spotted Zhao Yao turning invisible.

    This meant that it was game time.

    ¡°He¡¯s be invisible!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t let him get away!¡±

    One after another the contestants raced into the woods. They unleashed all kinds of powers in hopes of locating Zhao Yao.

    An apostle wrinkled his extraordinarilyrge nose. He had an equally remarkable sense of smell.

    ¡°There! He¡¯s right ahead!¡± he eximed.

    Another apostle had his mouth wide open, from which emitted sound waves. He was hoping to capture Zhao Yao using ultrasound. When he detected him, he pointed to an empty and t expanse ofnd.

    ¡°There he is!¡±

    The Explosive Man did not need to be told twice. He let out a terrifying snarl, then torpedoed straight towards Zhao Yao.

    Yue Shan made his move as well. He let out a grunt before creating a telekic energy st around the Metal Man, which propelled him forward like a shooting star.

    ¡°He will never get away!¡±

    ¡°We¡¯re getting close! Those on the frontline, block all possible exit points!¡±

    The Cat King of the North cut from one camera to another, revealing the flurry of activity that surrounded the woods.

    ¡°The action has begun even though the second round has barely begun. As you can see from the satellite map on the screen, Daniel Wu and gang has beenpletely surrounded. This is definitely not a good start for them. It¡¯s unlikely that they¡¯ll stay in the game for long.¡±

    On the naval vessel, Inspector Ho was watching the screen carefully as well.

    ¡°Has the secret weapon been deployed? We have to attack whoever gets their grubby hands on the sapphires. We won¡¯t be able to step in after this round,¡± he said.

    Lin Chen made a firm nod. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s been activated.¡±

    Everyone watching was certain that the man in the ck robe was at his wits¡¯ end. Thepetitors were closing in on him quickly and it would be impossible for him to get past them.

    Explosive Man, Yue Shan, Chimera, and every other opponent had unleashed their powers in a chaotic bid to defeat him.

    ¡°You¡¯ll never get away, rascal!¡± Chimera cried, releasing a fire dragon in Zhao Yao¡¯s direction.

    He froze time to evade it with ease.

    He continued running as time started ticking again. He eyed the t piece ofnd he wasing up on with approval.

    ¡°This is a good spot. Xiao Yu¡¯s hidden a distance away. She won¡¯t be hurt if I can fight them right here.¡±

    He had been running not because he wanted to flee his opponents. It was reconnaissance. He had to first keep Xiao Yu out of harm¡¯s way, then scout for the perfect showdown arena.

    He had found it.

    In a move that made everyone¡¯s jaw drop, Zhao Yao shed hisyer of invisibility. He was seen standing with his chest held high and his arm stretched to the sky, the sapphire twinkling in his hand.

    After a brief pause, the opponents surged towards him, hungry and ready to pounce. Explosive Man and Yue Shan were among those who led the pack.

    ¡°Hand me the sapphire!¡± Explosive Man roared.

    ¡°Yeah, give us the sapphires!¡±

    ¡°Give them to me!¡±

    Half the contestants tore through the ground, ready to snatch the sapphire from Zhao Yao¡¯s hands. Othersgged behind on purpose.

    Yue Shan was one of those who stayed back.

    He knew that there was no need for him to tackle Zhao Yao. With so many apostles and cats closing in on him, there would be no escape. The sapphires would be ripped from him and the people who did so automatically bes the new target.

    He did not want to be caught in that pandemonium. He would wait for the right time to strike.

    Yue Shan¡¯s thought was echoed by the Cat King of the North.

    He said into the microphone, ¡°The time hase! Whoever gets their hands on the sapphires will be attacked next. Will they be able to keep the gems? Who will it be? The Telekic Knights? Or perhaps Explosive Man?¡±

    While everyone had worked up a frenzy, Zhao Yao remained perfectly at ease. He scanned the barrage of apostles and supercats running wildly towards him to identify his first target area.

    However, his calcte had to be put on hold when an impatient Explosive Man barreled towards him, propelled by a series of explosions. The ground that he had stood on was cracked from the impact of his lift-off.

    He was not waiting any longer to take those sapphires.

    The rest of the opponents skid to a stop. They watched as Explosive Man rocketed towards Zhao Yao. They knew that he would seed in securing the sapphires. The moment that happened, they would go after him.

    They watched with bated breath as Explosive Man reached Zhao Yao.

    What happened next was a blur. The encounter went by so quickly it was impossible to make sense of. The only thing the spectators could discern was the sound of a loud boom, followed by a crack of lightning that split the sky in two.

    As the dust settled, the crowd could make out Zhao Yao kneeling on the ground. He had one hand firmly around Explosive Man¡¯s neck, pinning his head against the grass.

    The Explosive Man was motionless. He was like a mere fly that Zhao Yao had easily swatted to death.

    The truth was moreplicated than it seemed. Zhao Yao had frozen time for a split second. He could move six times faster during TimeFreeze and he made full use of it to plummet his opponent into the ground.

    Explosive Man barely had time to register what happened, much less resist it.

    It was impossible to retaliate after a TimeFreeze. It would always be toote.

    The contestants gawked at the sight before them. They looked from Zhao Yao to his concussed victim in disbelief.

    A hush had befallen the elimination zone. No one moved or made a sound. It was as if Zhao Yao had frozen time again.

    Even the Cat King of the North was at a loss. He blinked at the screen dumbly.

    Zhao Yao got to his feet slowly, purposefully. His cloak was waving wildly in the wind like a burst of ck mes.

    He lifted his hand again. The sapphire sat in his open palm, glinting in the sun.

    ¡°You want the sapphires? Sure. You just have to get past me.¡±

 Chapter 325: 1 VS 80

    <h4>Chapter 325: 1 VS 80</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    ¡°Instant kill!¡±

    The Cat King of the North fired hismentary so rapidly that it was difficult to catch each of his words.

    ¡°The Explosive Man was finished with an instant kill! We just saw Daniel Wu¡¯s one-hit KO bring one of thepetition¡¯s most powerful contenders to his knees. He looks like he¡¯s out cold. I¡¯m sure he¡¯ll regain consciousness soon, so let¡¯s turn our attention back to Daniel. It¡¯s obvious that invisibility is not his only power. Sure looks like he had concealed his true strength in the first round of thepetition.¡±

    An uproar erupted from the elimination zone. Everyone had something to say about what they had just witnessed.

    ¡°The Explosive Man was defeated just like that?¡±

    ¡°What the hell even happened? Could he resist the Telekic Knights as well?¡±

    ¡°That was mad fast! Daniel Wu is insanely fast!¡±

    ¡°Jesus,¡± Fish Ball muttered to himself, ¡°He¡¯s that good?¡±

    He might be acquaintances with Zhao Yao, but he was unfamiliar with the depth of his abilities.

    He turned to the gawking female cats next to him.

    ¡°He¡¯s good, isn¡¯t he? That¡¯s my disciple over there. I¡¯m the one who sent him into thepetition,¡± he boasted.

    In the woods, the hush that had fallen over the contestants was slowly lifted. They looked at each other, then started closing in on Zhao Yao again, tentatively this time.

    There was no denying that he was powerful, but even the greatest apostle would be unable to face off 80 others at once.

    The odds were not in his favor at all.

    Every contestant thought this way, but no one dared to make the first move. The Explosive Man took the lead and look what became of him.

    Since they could not thrash him, they talked trash instead.

    ¡°Daniel Wu!¡± someone called out, ¡°You might be skilled, but that¡¯s not going to save you now. Look around you. There¡¯s too many of us for you to beat.¡±

    ¡°Yeah! Come on,ds, we needn¡¯t be afraid of him! We outnumber him 80 to one. We just need to unleash one superpower each to destroy himpletely.¡±

    ¡°Daniel Wu, if you want to leave this ce in one piece, you better hand over the sapphires now.¡±

    Yue Shan remained silent while his fellow contestants hurled one insult after another. He narrowed his eyes, considering his next move.

    His power had nothing to do with the body. Ity in his mind.

    Physically, he was as defenseless and weak as the next man on the street. Watching Explosive Man get plummeted into the dirt was a timely reminder that he had to protect himself before he could think about attacking.

    Yue Shan wrapped himself in a telekic shield that would block all kinds of physical damage.

    Then, he struck.

    He used his power to bind Zhao Yao¡¯s limbs together, paralyzing him.

    ¡°Gotcha!¡±

    Yue Shan intended to yank him forward and snatch the sapphires.

    But, in the next moment, Zhao Yao was gone.

    ¡°Turned invisible, huh?¡± Yue Shan thought.

    It did not matter. Visible or not, Zhao Yao was in his telekic grip. He pulled his target towards him in one swift motion, igniting a chain of loud booms and bringing to him...nothing?

    Nobody knew that when Zhao Yao was seized, he had be invisible, then promptly swallowed himself into the extradimensional belly.

    ¡°He¡¯s invisible again!¡±

    ¡°Be alert! He¡¯s up to something!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s disappearing act had raised the tension among the contestants. They cast their powers haphazardly, hoping to hit him, wherever he was.

    It was futile.

    As Zhao Yao stepped back into the real world, Roly Poly in tow, it had gonepletely still.

    ¡°TimeFreeze!¡±

    Zhao Yao surveyed the woods quickly. He could remember where Yue Shan had been standing.

    That was where he headed with impossibly nimble steps.

    In the past, Zhao Yao would have to put on that regretful princess dress or activate the supercat armor in order to battle so many apostles at once.

    Now, things were different (thankfully).

    Matcha had reached level six and the nature of his power had evolved.

    Everything had multiplied by six times. He was six times stronger during TimeFreeze. He could use each second as if it was six seconds.

    With that up his arsenal, big numbers no longer posed toorge a threat. He had all the time in the world to take them down one by one.

    Yue Shan¡¯s telekinesis, however, was a much bigger problem. He could sneak up on Zhao Yao even if he was a distance away.

    This was why Zhao Yao had to take care of him first.

    Once hended before Yue Shan, he threw punch after punch against his stomach.

    The force field stood sturdily between Zhao Yao¡¯s fists and Yue Shan¡¯s skin. It protected Yue Shan and cushioned most, but not all, the impact.

    Zhao Yao kept going. He continued to ram his fists into Yue Shan.

    He was endowed with thebined power of four cats now. Coupled with his long-term exposure to the Celestial Beats and his training, he was as fit as an Olympic boxer.

    And what happens when an Olympic boxer could punch six times faster?

    Each hit would feel like the blow of Hercules hammering against steel.

    No one could catch the barrage of punches that Zhao Yao rained on Yue Shan.

    When time started ticking again, all they saw was that he appeared before Yue Shan and swiftly delivered an epic punch to his stomach.

    It might have looked like one punch, but it contained the immense energy of every single blow made when time stopped. A rapid session of booms could be heard as they wore the force field down, before rupturing itpletely.

    Yue Shan was thrown off his feet and into the air, crashing onto the ground at neck-breaking speed ten meters away. When he rolled to a stop, he was out cold.

    Zhao Yao nodded with satisfaction.

    ¡°That was the perfect amount of strength.¡±

    He turned to face the rest of the startled contestants and said, ¡°I suggest that those of you who can¡¯t even handle one of my punches to leave me be. If we end up fighting, I might identally kill you.¡±

    With that, he disappeared again, this time with the help of Roly Poly¡¯s invisibility.

    ¡°Be careful!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s going to attack again!¡±

    ¡°Come, we¡¯ve got to stay together!¡±

    The apostles began to huddle around each other in a tight circle, hoping desperately to find safety in numbers.

    No one would have expected that Zhao Yao would appear in the midst of the crowd. When he did, he was apanied by a st of air and the sound of rumbling thunder.

    Those in the crowd were knocked off their feet and sent flying. Half of them had lost consciousness even before they fell to the ground with a loud thud.

    Then, Zhao Yao disappeared again.

    He repeated this performance a few times. He was like a grenade that would detonate wherever he appeared, sending cats and apostles into the air.

    ¡°We¡¯ve got to stop sticking together!¡±

    Boom.

    ¡°Disperse! We must disperse! We can¡¯t keep staying in the same ces.¡±

    ¡°He¡¯sing!¡±

    Kaboom.

    ¡°He¡¯s there! He¡¯s right there!¡±

    ¡°Hey! I¡¯m one of you, get off me!¡±

    ¡°Those with the strongest defence should stay at the circumference!¡±

    The crowd had descended into pandemonium. Everyone was panicking, very much like a helpless herd of sheep being cornered by a big, bad wolf.

    They were unable to formte a proper strategy against Zhao Yao, so he could continue to creep into their midst and fling them through the air.

    Metal Man, Rubber Man, and the few apostles who had their wits around them would try to seize him every time he appeared, but they could scarcely graze him with their fingertips before he vanished again.

    They still had no clue that they had been led into Zhao Yao¡¯s carefully selected battlefield. This t expanse ofnd allowed him a bird¡¯s eye view of every contestant¡¯s location. There was no hiding from him.

    ¡°Unbelievable. This is simply unbelievable!¡± the Cat King of the North eximed, ¡°Daniel Wu is actually wiping out all the contestants single-handedly. Not one of them has been able to return his blows. This is a 1 vs 80 battle for the ages. I cannot believe my eyes.¡±

    The feverishmotion in the elimination zone continued to grow louder.

    The captive audience had seen some amazing things today. They had thought that Explosive Man¡¯s destructive detonations were powerful, as was Yue Shan¡¯s valiance and Chimera¡¯s fire dragons.

    However, it seemed like they had seen nothing yet. Until now, that is.

    Zhao Yao had shown them a whole new world. He had given them a taste of what true power looked like.

    He had squashed 80 contestants as easily as ants with his thumb. None of them could even attempt to fight back.

    This was an epiphany for apostles and supercats alike.

    Zhao Yao had proven to them that the world really had changed.

    Fish Ball had leapt away from Zhi Yun and joined the female cats that were huddled together.

    He pointed his paw at Zhao Yao¡¯s magnificent figure on the screen.

    ¡°What you see here is all my work,¡± he started, ¡°I helped him lose 120 pounds in six months through tireless training. His strength is now absolutely unparalleled! If I hadn¡¯t stepped into his life, he would still be the same fat otaku he had always been.¡±

    The cats¡¯ eyes lit up with awe as they looked at Fish Ball.

    ¡°Wow, you¡¯re amazing!¡± they sang in unison.

    Fish Ball waved them off casually, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯ve only imparted to him half of what I know. I still have a few tricks up my sleeve to teach him.¡±

    While he was busy boasting, Zhi Yun was gaping at the screen.

    ¡°I never thought that our powers could be this...devastating...¡±

    Zhao Yao continued to make his rounds through the arena, knocking out contestant after contestant.

    As the crowd thinned, it became easy to spot a masked man that remained cool and collected among the flurry of panic surrounding him.

    He was keenly observing Zhao Yao.

    When Zhao Yaonded before him, he threw another tremendous punch that sent everyone in the area flying limply through the air.

    Everyone, that is, except for the masked man.

    Only he remained on his feet.

    In the next moment, he had his hand around Zhao Yao¡¯s neck, holding it in a painful vice grip.

    ¡°I¡¯ve finally got you, Headless Horseman.¡±

    A few minutes ago, the masked man had not been part of the crowd.

    Previously, the contestants had been closing in on Zhao Yao, hoping to attack. At that point in time,the man had snuck away from the t clearing.

    ¡°This should be it?¡± he thought, stopping by a tree with arge hollow in its trunk.

    He then shouted, ¡°Hello! Is anyone here?¡±

    As his voice echoed through the woods, a shadow wormed out of the tree hollow andnded behind him gracefully.

    The masked man spun around and found himself face-to-face with an rmingly muscr man.

    It was the Butcher.

    ¡°Is it my turn to shine?¡± he asked, smiling sweetly.

    After being defeated by the Headless Horseman, the Muscle Society had fallen into Inspector Ho¡¯s control.

    He could have thrown them in jail, but that would be a waste. These apostles were remarkably strong and could be put to better use.

    So, Inspector Ho handed them to the Cat King of the West.

    Each of the four Cat Kings were masters in their own element.

    The King of the South could control the seas and oceans. He could easily manipte that to create natural disasters.

    The King of the North enjoyed integrating himself seamlessly into human society. He observed people, acted like them, and could create all kinds of amazing things from thin air for them.

    As for the King of the West, his powery in reformation.

    Under his wing, the Butcher¡¯s alliance and agenda became aligned to the government. He was now assisting Inspector Ho with thepetition as a secret weapon.

    The masked man removed his mask and handed his jacket to the Butcher, whom put them on briskly.

    He cracked his neck, then spoke into his earpiece.

    ¡°Hello? What should I do now?¡±

    Inspector Ho¡¯s voice was heard. It said, ¡°Help Yue Shan secure the sapphires. How you do it is entirely up to you.¡±

    ¡°Got it,¡± Butcher grinned.

    He extended his foot to take one step, then another, his stride much wider than a normal person¡¯s. It almost felt like the earth¡¯s gravitational force was weaker for him. He disappeared into the green of the woods within seconds.

    He did notunch an attack the moment he reached thending. Instead, he quietly observed how Zhao Yao would appear, then disappear, and appear again elsewhere. He tried to discern a pattern in his behavior and tried to pick up his opponent¡¯s scent.

    It did not take long for him to identify who the man in the ck cloak was. He knew this scent and he recognized this imprable power.

    ¡°The Headless Horseman...¡±

    The corners of his lips lifted.

    The Butcher might have been reformed, but he did not forget his humiliating defeat at the hands of the Horseman. He was d that he had an opportunity to get his rightful revenge.

    He was not going to mess up this time.

    He was patient. He watched each of Zhao Yao¡¯s movements and waited for a good time to strike. His chance came when Zhao Yao teleported before him.

    ¡°Now!¡±

    The Butcher¡¯s hand was lightning fast. It darted forward and wrapped its fingers around Zhao Yao¡¯s neck.

    ¡°I¡¯ve finally got you, Headless Horseman.¡±

    Zhao Yao clutched the Butcher¡¯s wrist, trying to pry his hand away. It was not as easy as he assumed it would be. He found that he could not move it away even by an inch. His grip remained steadfast and firm, like a block of cement.

    When he heard his assant¡¯s voice, his pupils dted in surprise.

    ¡°Butcher? He has escaped?¡± Zhao Yao thought.

    He knew he was in trouble.

    If he had detected his opponent¡¯s presence earlier, he would have had time to consider his options. Unfortunately, he was already stuck in his vice grip when he realized that the he was here.

    This greatly reduced the ploys he could use against the Butcher.

    ¡°TimeFreeze is in cooldown.¡±

    ¡°That would mean that my only way out is to go into the belly.¡±

    ¡°But even if I resorted to that, it¡¯s not immediate. I need time.¡±

    ¡°If I made any move at all, he could twist my head off my shoulders like a bottle cap. Should I sacrifice one life, then attack?¡±

    The Butcher tilted his head to the side, looking at Zhao Yao curiously.

    ¡°Hmm? Headless Horseman, why aren¡¯t you resisting? Yourpliance is very out-of-character,¡± hemented.

    He remembered their previous encounter very clearly. The Headless Horse was relentless, shrewd, and awfully aggressive.

    He was disappointed with theck of response had was now disying.

    ¡°If you don¡¯t fight back, I won¡¯t have a chance to show you my new skills,¡± the Butcher taunted.

    Zhao Yao remained limp, which prompted him to shake his head.

    ¡°I have to be honest with you. I¡¯m in excellent condition today, pal. Even if you fought back, you wouldn¡¯t stand a chance.¡±

    He tightened his hold on his neck, as if he wanted to break it.

    On the navy vessel, Inspector Ho and Lin Chen heaved a great sigh of relief.

    ¡°Well, at least that¡¯s settled.¡±

    The Inspector¡¯s relief morphed into concern as he watched the Butcher take control of the battle with ease.

    ¡°The Butcher is good. Too good. We can¡¯t leave the rest of the Muscle Society with the King of the West. It¡¯s too dangerous.¡±

    Now that Zhao Yao was in the Butcher¡¯s grasp, a barrage of attacks were directed their way. mes, lightning, acid, shock waves, and all kinds of superpowers were unleashed.

    Chimera sent his fire dragons towards the pair. Godly God was one of the participants as well. He projected phantoms that tore through the field, heading straight for them.

    ¡°He¡¯s not fleeing?¡±

    ¡°If he doesn¡¯t move now, he¡¯s done for!¡±

    The heavy blitz of superpowers started to descend towards them like a hundred arrows. The Butcher remained rooted to the ground, unperturbed by the iing onught.

    The contestants watched their powers draw closer and closer with their mouths wide open.

    The Butcher pursed his lips. He looked more annoyed than afraid.

    He tightened his fingers into a fist and sent a wave of heavy punches ripping through the air. A loud boom could be heard as each jab rocketed forward. They crashed into the superpowers that were raining on the duo, shattering them like fireworks.

    There was a collective intake of air among the contestants.

    Even Zhao Yao had to run and hide when theyunched their powers on him. This mysterious masked man, however, could single-handedly reduce them to nothing.

    ¡°Who is that?¡±

    ¡°His punches are as powerful as a bomb.¡±

    ¡°We¡¯re not gonna be able to win this monster.¡±

    To say that the Cat Kingpetition had been eye-opening would not be exaggeration. From the Explosive Man, to Yue Shan, to Chimera, then Daniel Wu, and now the masked man; It seemed like there was no limit to an apostle¡¯s power.

    Just when they thought they had met the undefeatable victor, someone better woulde along.

    The Butcher seemed to have made a clean sweep of thepetition. His explosive punches had extinguished any thought of resistance in the rest of the contestants. None of them made a move towards him. They would take a step back if he as much as nced their way.

    He shook his head at them with disdain, then turned back to the Headless Horseman.

    ¡°Well, aren¡¯t we in for a treat?¡± the Cat King of the North said, ¡°A new contender has appeared and he is even stronger than our unbeatable Daniel Wu. He had managed to slice through the other contestants¡¯ powers like a watermelon. It is truly unbelievable. Daniel Wu has finally met his match! He¡¯s gonna have to bid goodbye to his sapphires this time.¡±

    Zhao Yao might be in the Butcher¡¯s grasp, but he did not exhibit an ounce of fear or panic. He was running through all the different escape ns he could hatch up.

    He had no clue that the Butcher was reformed and would not kill him, so he prepared himself to lose a life in order to get out of this sticky situation.

    ¡°I was too careless. I have no choice but to die once then...¡±

    His mind was formting a n.

    He would activate Suck Me In and try to make his way into the extradimensional belly. If his movement rms the Butcher and causes him to break his neck, he would die.

    That would go one of two ways. He would either die in the belly or, if the Butcher was swift enough, he would die outside of it.

    If he managed to escape into the belly and die there, he would put on his cat armor and reappear on the battlefield.

    If he died out here, in the real world, he would have to use a power-up and, unfortunately, put on that stupid princess cat dress.

    Obviously, thetter option was not the preferred one.

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao¡¯s mind whirled with possibilities.

    He still felt fairly rxed. After all, there was no way that the Butcher would defeat him. He did not have to worry about surviving; He just had to focus on how to win.

    ¡°Even if he breaks my neck, my cognitive function should still be active for a minute or so. That should be enough time for me to switch to Matcha¡¯s TimeFreeze. It¡¯s risky though.¡±

    ¡°Also, what if he just squishes my head like a grape?¡±

    ¡°If I died outside of the belly, I would have to wear that appalling dress.¡±

    He recalled the first time he had to put on that dress.

    ¡°Nope, not gonna happen. I¡¯m never cross-dressing ever again.¡±

    The fear of being seen in a dress was enough to make Zhao Yao drop the idea.

    ¡°I could just use Elizabeth¡¯s power instead. I¡¯ll distract the Butcher and put on the armor,¡± he thought.

    Ten seconds had passed before Zhao Yaonded on this option. He quickly turned to stare right into the Butcher¡¯s eyes, his own gleaming red.

    ¡°Eh?¡± the Butcher uttered as he felt his control of his body gradually slip away.

    He could not stop his hand from loosening its grip on Zhao Yao¡¯s neck. He could do nothing as he dropped into an involuntary squat, then leaped upwards with astounding strength, rocketing straight to the sky.

    The impact of his take-off was so great that a thick crack had split the earth beneath his feet.

    In an instant, the Butcher had diminished into a speck that soared further and further away, growing smaller still.

    Zhao Yao smiled. Elizabeth¡¯s mind control was an unrivaled form of defence in one-on-onebat. Even the Butcher was no match for it.

    He could havepelled the Butcher to hurt himself, but he did not do so. Conniving was not a good look for a Cat King.

    ¡°I¡¯ll have to face him head-on.¡±

    As the Butcher began his long descent to the ground, Zhao Yao cut to Dust Ball¡¯s skill.

    Supercats began appearing on the battleground, each concealed by Roly Poly.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go into Stealth Mode.¡±

    ¡°Assault Arm!¡±

    ¡°Electric Arm!¡±

    ¡°Defence Shield!¡±

    ¡°Ground Liquification!¡±

    As Zhao Yao issued onemand after another, supercats began rolling into the real world and leaping onto different parts of his body.

    The contestants were not paying any attention to him. Their eyes were glued to the Butcher.

    ¡°What¡¯s happening? Why has he jumped so high into the sky?¡±

    ¡°Haven¡¯t you heard of the Buddha¡¯s Palm Technique?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯ve got to be kidding. This guy is a kung-fu master too?¡±

    While some of them remained rooted to the ground, waiting to see what the Butcher would do next, others had fled the arena.

    A handful of them watched Zhao Yao, whom had his head raised towards the sky, unmoving.

    ¡°Why isn¡¯t Daniel Wu running? Now¡¯s his chance.¡±

    ¡°How would I know? That choke might¡¯vepromised his mental capacity.¡±

    ¡°Who cares about him? C¡¯mon, we¡¯ve got to go before that monster returns.¡±

    Soon, the Butcher was but 200 meters from the ground. He threw punch after punch at the air around him, hoping to chalk up enough friction to slow his neck-breaking descent.

    While he struggled, Zhao Yao remained absolutelyposed. His hands were folded behind him, head raised to the sky. There was an air of dignity in his face.

    ¡°Our mystery man had taken straight for the skies!¡± the Cat King of the North eximed, ¡°What could he be trying to do? Use the force of gravity to tten Daniel Wu? I would worry if I were him, but Daniel isn¡¯t running. Does he actually have more secret tricks up his sleeves?¡±

    ¡°By the looks of it, I doubt anything could help him win this time.¡±

    The elimination zone broke into a morous racket.

    Fish Ball stood up, shouting at the screen.

    ¡°Fool! You¡¯ve got to run! Why would you mess with someone like that? Are you out of your mind?!¡±

    Every pair of eyes in the audience was glued to the screen, waiting for Zhao Yao¡¯s catastrophic defeat to y out. There was no doubt in their minds that he would lose. The Butcher was just far too powerful.

    The gap between the two final opponents grew smaller still.

    Zhao Yao maintained the same position and self-possessed demeanor as before.

    ¡°I must look so frickin¡¯ cool,¡± he thought.

    While he appeared to be doing nothing, he was actually preparing for the uing battle.

    He had entered the Diamond Hall to exchange two power-up cards.

    One card was obviously for himself. The other was for Ares. Now that the supercat was unquestionably loyal to him, he had no qualms about strengthening his ability as well.

    Thebined power of Ares and Zhao Yao¡¯s magnified force fields cast a golden glow around them that soared towards the heavens.

    ¡°I...I feel like my veins are bursting with...with power!¡± Ares eximed in surprise.

    ¡°You sound like you¡¯re about to blow your load,¡± Gaiamented.

    Zhao Yao hushed him.

    ¡°Can we please focus on defeating this piece of s**t?¡±

    The activation of the power-ups, coupled with Ares¡¯ recent level-up, pushed the potency of the force fields to unprecedented heights.

    They were ready for the Butcher, whom was now a mere 50 meters from reaching them.

    There was a trace of excitement in his eyes as he noticed the golden glow that enveloped Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Now, that¡¯s more like it! C¡¯mon, Headless Horseman, gimme all you¡¯ve got!¡±

    The glow grew brighter and more luminous as the energy and damage it cast grew stronger. It ripped Zhao Yao¡¯s ck robe into pieces, revealing his headless body. Even the ground around him split into a spiderweb of cracks. The rocks and trees near him did not stand a chance either. They shattered as easily as ss.

    Ares raised his paws and pressed them together. This caused massive hands weaved with the golden light to appear behind Zhao Yao, all of them bearing the same pose as Ares¡¯s paws.

    Zhao Yao and Ares faced the Butcher. They moved in perfect sync to extend an open palm in his direction, propelling the golden hands to scorch through the air, straight at their opponent.

    The wave of energy crashed into the Butcher like a tsunami. He felt like a helpless fly fossilized in a piece of amber.

    ¡°Beautiful!¡± heughed maniacally.

    He then threw a punch of his own against the golden glow. The collision between the opposing forces of energy created an earth-splitting explosion that flung the Butcher across the woods.

    The impact was nothing for him. Hended squarely on his feet, which caused the ground to sink beneath him. He catapulted himself forward with a burst of energy, crushing the rocks behind him into pieces.

    The power generated by his feet spread through the rest of his body. It energized his hips, up to his shoulders, and sweeping into his fists. His was making his way to Zhao Yao like a ballistic missile.

    ¡°Die!¡± he roared.

    The Butcher put all the energy he had into the punch that he threw at Zhao Yao.

    It rocketed towards him, gaining traction as it got closer. In response, Zhao Yao and Ares lifted their palms in perfect synchronicity, then smashed downwards.

    ¡°Butcher...¡±

    A loud boom sounded. Arge, golden hand had appeared from nowhere and it pressed the Butcher in the ground, mimicking Zhao Yao and Ares¡¯ action.

    The Butcher¡¯s feet sunk into the ground from the weight, but he was not giving up so easily.

    He pushed hard against the mud and sand beneath him, generating enough energy to split the ground open. He jumped up onto the ground and started tearing across the woods again.

    ¡°Do you really...¡±

    This time, Zhao Yao and Ares made a sweeping action with their hands. The giant golden hand did the same but on an infinitelyrger and more powerful scale.

    The Butcher could not fight the swell of power that was sent his way. He held his head in his hands as he was thrown off his feet and sent flying into the distance like a baseball struck by a bat.

    He barreled through every tree that he passed, cutting each cleaning into two, before finally crashing to the ground.

    ¡°Think that you...¡±

    Once TimeFreeze was activated, Zhao Yao appeared next to him in a sh, his right hand gripping onto his head.

    ¡°Could...¡±

    The Butcher let out a roar of rage when he realized that Zhao Yao now had the upper hand.

    He struggled against his grip, throwing punches and kicks in any and all directions, sending destructive spheres of energy everywhere.

    Zhao Yao switched from Matcha¡¯s power back to Ares¡¯. The two used their magnified powers to subdue him.

    ¡°Win me?!¡±

    Zhao Yao dragged the Butcher by the head, then tossed him forward like a bowling ball.

    It was a simple action, but the power-up cards transformed it into a deadly one. He hurled the Butcher with so much force that as he was sent rocketing in the opposite direction, he uprooted trees and ruptured the ground along the way.

    He finally came to a stop when he smashed into a hill, which promptly started to fall apart from the impact. Rocks, gravel, and mud started raining down the Butcher, threatening to bury him alive.

    In that moment, Zhao Yao and Ares quickly lifted their palm. The golden palm did the same, cupping the dangerous debris and tossing them away.

    The Butcher could be seen lying on the ground.

    Zhao Yao and Ares raised a hand, then delivered a swift smack. Once again, the golden palm followed, heading straight for the Butcher.

    Just as it was about tond on the Butcher and no doubt pulverize him, it came to a sudden halt.

    Zhao Yao took a look at his fallen opponent. He was out cold.

    That was good enough. Zhao Yao and Ares retracted their hand and paw respectively and the giant, golden palm dissipated into nothing.

    The woods had grown quiet.

    Zhao Yao looked around him. He was faced with what looked like the aftermath of war. The grass was no longer even and t, but turned inside out such that mud and lumps were pockmarked its surface. Not a single tree in sight still stood. They had all fallen onto the ground in a heap of leaves, branches, and trunks.

    The sun was beginning to rise. He could see the red glow it cast along the horizon. The first rays of lightnded on Zhao Yao, mixing with his own golden aura to produce an almost ethereal glimmer.

    The remaining contestants gawked at the Headless Horseman as he basked in the unearthly light.

    Zhao Yao turned to them.

    ¡°Is there anyone else who wants to take my sapphires?¡± he asked casually.

    He received no response. It was as if the crowd had been rendered mute. They could only stare at him dumbly.

    He had achieved exactly what he set out to do. His victory was indisputable.

    It was nothing short of a triumph.

    What the crowd did not know was that this was not even the full extent of his powers.

    He did not get a chance to cross-dress after all.

    The Cat King of the North was gaping at the screen as well. Usually verbose, even he was at a loss for words.

    The same could be said about the spectators in the elimination zone. The way they looked at the Headless Horseman had changed. They stared up at him as if he was a legend.

    Conversely, Inspector Ho did not wish to see anymore. He slumped against an armchair.

    ¡°This...this kind of damage... Even thebined force of your men and the Muscle Society would not put a dent in him, would it?¡±

    Lin Chen¡¯s eyes were glued to the Headless Horseman.

    He did not respond to the Inspector immediately. All he could think of was, ¡°We must not be enemies with this man.¡±

    Inspector Ho raised his head to take another nce at the Headless Horseman. He had never felt more relieved than he did now with the country¡¯s softer approach towards supercats and their apostles.

    There were unimaginable powers out there, the kind that the authorities would not be able to control.

    The Headless Horseman, for example, could chalk up far more destruction than any military or satellite missile. He could do way more than cause explosions because he had all kinds of support skills at his disposal.

    The worst? He was human and he had the mental capacity of one. He could think and that meant that he could strategize

    His ability to teleport was the biggest pain in the a**.

    Someone of his caliber was capable of wrecking havoc in the city. He could easily assassinate anyone or sneak into any building, destroying everything in his path as he pleased.

    The Inspector scanned the Headless Horseman¡¯s application details.

    ¡°King George...of Utopia District?¡±

    His eyes narrowed with suspicion.

    ¡°If I don¡¯t recall wrongly...someone else lives in that district...and his powers are not to be trifled with either...¡±

    *

    The battle arena was dead silent.

    A dense, ck cloud wafted from behind the trees and into the clearing. It was apanied by ck shadows that darted into the foreground. They looked eerily like spirits and were moaning like them as well.

    Zhao Yao spun around. He watched the scene with, brows furrowed.

    ¡°What the hell..?¡±

    The other opponents could not help looking at the approaching spirits as well. Goosebumps were raised on the surface of their skin.

    Was this a new contender?

    They had no clue that this was actually a disy of Nekomata¡¯s spectral powers. He could conjure a thousand ghouls to appear. They were, however, all bark and no bite. They looked scary but could do nothing else.

    The spirits moved aside to reveal that a girl had been standing among them.

    She looked absolutely ghastly. There was no color on her face, except for the blood red that stained her lips.

    ¡°Jesus Christ! It¡¯s Carrie!¡±

    ¡°No, it¡¯s Sissy Spacek!¡±

    ¡°Are you guys blind? That¡¯s obviously Chloe Grace Moretz.¡±

    And so it was. The girl did look exactly like Chloe Grace Moretz, which made things less terrifying.

    Nekometa¡¯s power allows its user to alter his or her appearance when in spirit form. To conceal her identity, Xiao Yu chose to adopt Ms. Moretz as a facade.

    She was the first thing that Explosive Man saw as he started to stir.

    He clutched onto the back of his head and got to his feet gingerly. He had been unconscious for most of Zhao Yao¡¯s epic showdown.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± he murmured.

    Xiao Yu turned to him and raised a hand. She activated her spectral power, which worked like telekinesis, to grab him by the neck.

    The poor man had barelye to, so he waspletely unable to respond as she choked him and rendered him unconscious once more.

    The contestants watched in silence.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Daniel Wu?¡± Xiao Yu asked them.

    Some promptly pointed in his direction.

    The Cat King of the North scratched his chin gently with his ws.

    ¡°First, we had Daniel Wu. Now, there¡¯s Chloe Grace Moretz. Who¡¯s next? Jackie Chan? Oprah Winfrey?¡±

    Xiao Yu¡¯s gaze followed their fingers andnded on a headless Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Your head got chopped off?!¡±

    She recovered from the shock that paralyzed her and darted towards him.

    ¡°I¡¯ve only been gone for a moment! How did you lose your friggin¡¯ noggin¡¯ already? This is bad. We can¡¯t even bury you whole.¡±

    Xiao Yu came to a sudden halt.

    ¡°No, that cannot do. We must find your head. Where is it?¡±

    Zhao Yao stared at her wordlessly.

    He paused for a beat before speaking, ¡°I think most people would exact revenge first, then find the dislocated head. Your priorities aren¡¯t quite right, I feel.¡±

    Xiao Yu jumped in surprise.

    ¡°You can still speak?!¡±

    ¡°Seeing that I¡¯m not dead yet, yes, I can still speak.¡±

    Zhao Yao pointed at the now peaceful, butpletely destroyed, surroundings, ¡°See this? My handiwork. I¡¯ve wiped out anyone who poses a threat to us. We¡¯re the final three.¡±

    Xiao Yu¡¯s eyes lit up.

    ¡°Really? Does this mean the house is mine?¡±

    Noodle the Husky and Matcha had appeared next to them as well. They issued punches and kicks

    at the concussed Butcher gleefully.

    Noodle raised a hind leg, then yelled, ¡°Have a taste of my Juice of Justice!¡±

    Matcha backed away instantly. He cast a look of utter disgust at the husky.

    ¡°Dogs are disgusting.¡±

    While they bullied the Butcher, Xiao Yu listened intently to Zhao Yao¡¯s recount of the battle.

    When it was over, she eyed him with disbelief.

    ¡°You¡¯re that powerful?¡±

    Like the Explosive Man, she had missed most of the showdown. Before Zhao Yao canvassed the area for his battleground, he had first found a safe ce to hide her. He had robbed her of all senses, causing her to ck out instantly.

    Xiao Yu only woke during the final fight with the Butcher, when the entire ind shook from its impact. She transitioned into spirit form and rushed here to see the trees torn from their roots and the ground shattered into uneven bits.

    To hear that Zhao Yao was behind this level of damage was a shock. If it were true, he was much stronger than she had thought.

    It was obvious that thepetition had ended. There was still time left from the one hour they were allocated, but no one dared to take Zhao Yao¡¯s sapphires or go anywhere near him.

    The contestants were scattered across the clearing, resting and talking among themselves. They would look to Zhao Yao from time to time.

    He was simrly seated on the ground. He had deactivated his supercat armor and sent them back into the belly. He had been busy fighting and plotting since 2 pm. It was exhausting.

    Tired as he might have been, he still noticed the many stolen nces that the other contestants threw him. The attention gave him a sense of satisfaction.

    ¡°They must think that I¡¯m so cool. I sense a fan club in the making. The Headless Horseman is going to be known throughout the city,¡± he thought happily.

    This made him sit up straight. He very much wanted to sprawl on the floor and rest his aching body, but he had an image to maintain.

    Xiao Yu drifted around him, eyes wide and alert.

    Zhao Yao studied her.

    ¡°Why are you using Chloe Grace Moretz¡¯s appearance? It¡¯s a bit extra, don¡¯t you think?¡±

    Xiao Yu shot him a side-eye nce.

    ¡°And why did you call yourself Daniel Wu?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked back at her wordlessly.

    He did not want to continue talking with this precocious primary school student. Instead, he upied himself by analyzing Xiao Yu¡¯s power.

    ¡°It sure is simr to Nekomata¡¯s spectral abilities.¡±

    He remembered the Nekomata that Ho Hao Cang owned clearly. It was the only one of his supercats whom had evaded him.

    Zhao Yao looked at Xiao Yu¡¯s spirit form, then turned to the husky.

    ¡°Is that cat using the dog as a host?¡± he wondered.

    He was going to grill Xiao Yu about this once the contest was over.

    *

    Back in the elimination zone, Fish Ball was busy tooting his own horn again.

    He pointed at Xiao Yu, who was projected on therge screen.

    ¡°See? I told you Daniel Wu would win. I know this girl too. She used to clean up my poop all the time,¡± he said.

    ¡°Really?¡±

    ¡°Wow, Mr. Fish Ball, you¡¯re so cool!¡±

    Fish Ballughed jovially, patting his ardent fans on the back.

    ¡°Well, what you see is nothing, really. If it were me up there, let¡¯s just say that the contest would¡¯ve ended sooner.¡±

    One of the supercats seated nearby could no longer stand his big talk.

    ¡°Are you quite done? You girls must be brighter than this! How can you believe any word thates out his mouth?¡± the cat said.

    ¡°Yeah. All you can do is shoot lights from your paws and yet, here you are, talking trash. What a loser,¡± another cat chipped in.

    Fish Ball let out a quietugh, then turned to the unhappy cats.

    ¡°Who gave you permission to look at me?¡±

    In the next moment, his entire body released bright beams of light that shot right into the cats¡¯ eyes.

    The re was so intense that most of them had no choice but to lower their heads to avoid it. Some refused to give in and continued staring at Fish Ball defiantly.

    Soon, however, their eyes started watering and twitching from the light. It was a matter of time before all of them lowered their heads, as if in a bow.

    The group of not-so-bright female cats let out a collective gasp of awe.

    ¡°Fish Ball is too cool!¡±

    <h4>Chapter 329: Afterwards</h4>

    There was no intention to proceed to the next round when the hour ended.

    This was partly because the second round had yielded only three qualifying contestants and mostly because no one questioned the Headless Horseman¡¯s power.

    A look at the destruction around them was proof that it was not wise to fight the Horseman.

    Soon, Zhao Yao, Xiao Yu, and the Serval started discussing what prizes they wanted to get.

    Explosive Man was watching the trio from the beach. His eyes were clouded with a mix of rage, disappointment, and just a bit of awe.

    ¡°Headless Horseman, huh? I¡¯ll remember you.¡±

    He knew that he was no match for the Horseman, at least not now. He had be his target, an opponent he aspired to beat one day.

    Meng Hao was looking at Zhao Yao too, but his expression was more embarrassed than anything else. He had assumed that he was some useless noob, but it turned out that he was terribly wrong.

    He did not understand why the Horseman resorted to suchme tactics in the first rounds of thepetition when he was so powerful.

    As for Yue Shan, he probably was the contestant who was the most frustrated by the defeat. He never thought that the Headless Horseman would actually participate. Even if he did, there was no way of knowing the true extent of his power either.

    Chimera had slunk in a corner, watching Zhao Yao with cautious eyes.

    ¡°China is too dangerous,¡± he thought, ¡°I better return to Japan.¡±

    The otherpetitors wore simrly glum looks.

    Everyone had signed up to participate in hopes of winning a prize. Their hopes were dashed far too quickly. The first round ended with just three qualifying contestants. There was not even a third round.

    It was a waste of time.

    Unlike his miserable counterparts, Zhao Yao was absolutely delighted.

    The three winners each wanted a different prize, so they reached a conclusion swiftly.

    Naturally, Zhao Yao chose the fortune cat. Xiao Yu chose the house in the city center while Liu Yun and the Serval picked a super-weapon made by the Cat King of the North.

    The one small setback was that Xiao Yu needed to provide her personal particrs to put the house in her name. She did not want to disclose her real identity and neither did Zhao Yao.

    In the end, they decided to use Liu Yun¡¯s name. She had registered for thepetition with her real details anyway. She would transfer the house ownership to Xiao Yu once she was older.

    It was highly unlikely that she would go back on her word and keep the house to herself. After today¡¯s disy of skill, even if she wanted to, she probably dared not do so.

    No matter what situation might arise in the future, Zhao Yao would have no problem getting the house back. Elizabeth¡¯s illusions offered endless ways to do so. Xiao Yu¡¯s spectral abilities were probably enough to do the same.

    As for Zhao Yao¡¯s fortune cat, it would be waiting for him once they reached the maind.

    He was now lounging on the deck of the cruise. Liu Yun and Xiao Yu had left for the indoors because the heavy gusts of wind were too much.

    He looked like he was not doing anything at all, but he was perusing the updates in his Book.

    Now that he had won thepetition, he was crowned the Jiangmen City Cat King. Technically, that should mean that the two cat king rted missions should be done and dusted.

    However, only one of them was marked aspleted. Zhao Yao could see that he had gained 2,000 x 2 experience points from that one quest, which changed his Book to Level 5 (6,658/10,000).

    He was supposed to have earned another 4,000 points, which would allow him to level up the Book.

    Zhao Yao read through the iplete mission impatiently.

    ¡°What the hell is this?¡± he muttered out loud, ¡°Help Matcha win first ce in the Cat Kingpetition and receive admiration from female cats all over the country?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes narrowed into slits.

    ¡°Seriously? Must I really help him ¡®receive admiration from female cats all over the country¡¯? It might be easier to just make me murder every male cat.¡±

    Matcha nced at Zhao Yao curiously when he heard a mention of his name.

    ¡°Matcha,¡± Zhao Yao said seriously, ¡°Are you able to hook up with every female cat on this cruise in three hours?¡±

    The ginger cat gave him a reproachful look.

    ¡°If I could do it, we wouldn¡¯t be having this conversation! You said that you¡¯ll help me win the hearts of every female cat when I be Cat King, but look at me now!¡±

    A cold breeze sailed through the deck in timely fashion.

    The two of them were the only ones here.

    ¡°Nothing! I have nothing and no one!¡± Matcha continued angrily, ¡°What¡¯s the point of being a Cat King?¡±

    He took a deep sigh, ¡°Female cats are a lot moreplex than I expected.¡±

    *

    In the cruise cabin, Fish Ball was disying a beautiful technicolor disy.

    ¡°C¡¯mon everyone, I wanna see you get crazy!¡± he yelled over the music.

    Someone¡¯s phone was ring an EDM tune. Coupled with the lights that he cast over the crowd, the cabin looked very much like a dance floor in a club.

    A dozen female cats were huddled in the middle, moving and twisting their bodies to the beat.

    ¡°Fish Ball! Fish Ball! Fish Ball!¡± they chanted in unison.

    *

    Zhao Yao tried to be encouraging.

    ¡°You can¡¯t just sit here and wait for things to happen! You¡¯re a man, show off that maic masculinity and draw them in,¡± he said.

    He really needed Matcha to start hooking up with those cats. If not, the 4,000 experience points were going to slip from his fingers. He refused to allow that to happen.

    ¡°Shouldn¡¯t they be the ones moring toe talk to me? I¡¯m cool, not some aggressive creep,¡± Matcha stated.

    Zhao Yao was beginning to feel a bit of panic welling in his chest.

    ¡°Well, I think it¡¯s time to reconsider your attitude. You¡¯re almost two years old now! You¡¯re not a boy anymore. You¡¯re a young man, but you have nothing to show for it. You work a dead-end job at the cat cafe still. You¡¯ve never gone out on a date, much less have a girlfriend. If you continue being so passive, no cat would want you.¡±

    Matcha red at him, ¡°Keep your nose out of my love life! There are tons of female cats that admire me. I just haven¡¯t met the right one yet!¡±

    Zhao Yao kept going, ¡°If you keep waiting for the right one, you¡¯ll end up with no one!¡±

    He was about to persuade Matcha to pursue the cats on board when they were interrupted by a loud meow.

    A chubby cat with ck stripes and a white belly sauntered across the deck towards them.

    It was the Cat King of the North.

    ¡°Hello there, Headless Horseman, King George,¡± he greeted, ¡°I have much to discuss with you regarding being the Cat King of Jiangmen City.¡±

    *

    Inspector Ho nced at the clock, then dialed a number on his phone.

    ¡°Hello? Shi Yu? Is he at work?¡± he asked.

    He could hear a yawning from the receiver.

    ¡°Yeah, he¡¯s at the cat cafe. What¡¯s up?¡±

    ¡°You mean Zhao Yao is at work today?¡±

    ¡°Yes. Why? Did he get into some kind of trouble again?¡± she asked anxiously.

    ¡°No, he hasn¡¯t. Send me a photo of him, won¡¯t you?¡±

    A few secondster, an image lit up the Inspector¡¯s phone screen. It was a picture of Zhao Yao in the cafe.

    Inspector Ho narrowed his eyes.

    ¡°So Zhao Yao isn¡¯t the Headless Horseman?¡±

    He reached for another application form, Xiao Yu¡¯s, and read it carefully.

    In the cafe, Baiquan handed the phone back to Shi Yu, whom reached for it without question before walking to the counter.

    Baiquan heaved a sigh of relief.

    ¡°I guess that¡¯s settled then?¡±

    Elizabeth¡¯s voice reached him through an aural illusion, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s done.¡±

    The ragdoll had easily tricked Shi Yu into thinking that she had taken Zhao Yao¡¯s photo and sent it to Inspector Ho. In reality, it was Baiquan who sent an old photo that was taken a while ago.

    ¡°By the way, when did you take that photo of Zhao Yao at work?¡± Elizabeth asked curiously.

    ¡°Oh, that was a while ago, when I was secretly -,¡±

    Baiquan stopped speaking abruptly. His expression had changed. With a look of resignation, he unlocked his phone and started heading to the back door.

    ¡°Elizabeth, please help me tend to the store for a moment. I need to train.¡±

    Bits of gasps and moans could be heard from the phone in his hand.

    <h4>Chapter 330: How About This Mission?</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Bathed in the warm sunlight, cat king of the north began discussing with Zhao Yao his responsibilities as the cat king of Jiangmen City.

    Actually, there was nothing much required of Zhao Yao. It was simply a title for a figurehead. The day to day management of the city stillid in the hands of the four cat kings.

    Furthermore, it was significantly less bureaucratic over at the four cat kings¡¯ side aspared to the government. Their only goal was to maintain social stability and to facilitate the dissemination of intel on dissidents. They would assist the government in taking care of apostles or supercats that were uncooperative.

    Even though Yue Shan did not ede to the throne as nned, the headless horseman¡¯s disy of power had lent much credence to this title itself. It was a silver lining behind the entire misadventure.

    The only thing that worried cat king of the north was the headless horseman¡¯s wild ambitions. He feared deeply that Zhao Yao would leverage on this opportunity to spread his sphere of influence.

    However, he realized that his worries were uncalled for after his discussion with Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Will I get paid for my role as cat king of Jiangmen City?¡±

    This question caught cat king of the north by surprise as he struggled to reply, ¡°Erm ... no...¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately retorted, ¡°So I¡¯ll be doing all this for nothing? This is preposterous. What you are doing is going directly against theborw. I¡¯m informing that you I expect to get paid when I¡¯m asked to attend various functions in this capacity. Also, all payments must be made in cash.¡±

    Cat king of the north tried to pacify him, ¡°But it is an utmost honor to be named the cat king of Jiangmen City!¡±

    ¡°Honor does not feed my stomach.¡± Zhao Yao replied with a curl of his lips, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t I have some subordinates working under me? Can I instruct the other cat kings to do my bidding?¡±

    ¡°Theoretically speaking, no.¡± Cat king of the north shook his head violently before continuing, ¡°However, we can help you add the title of cat king in your ount on the cat web.¡±

    Zhao Yao was somewhat confused by his reply and rified, ¡°What¡¯s the point of that?¡±

    Cat king of the north hesitated before replying, ¡°More people will take note of your words?¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes instantly.

    Even though he was rather disappointed that he would not be able to enjoy any privilege as the cat king, Zhao Yao was rather relieved that no additional responsibilities awaited him. Just the thought of it caused his lips to curl into a smile. Anyway, his objective was just to win Fortune Cat which would elerate his experience growth and strengthen his true power.

    Cat king of the north was simrly pleased with the headless horseman¡¯s response. From the looks of it, he was not the ruthless ambition apostle he imagined him to be. Now, they could even use the astounding result of thepetition as a springboard to inject stability in the underground world of superpower.

    ¡°I bet the participants of thepetition will be our best spokesperson.¡±

    After cat king of the north took his leave, Zhao Yao focused his attention back to Matcha and began his brainwashing, in order to lure him to go after some female cats.

    However, Matcha remainedpletely indifferent to Zhao Yao¡¯s words. After all the talking, he simply stared at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°What¡¯s the point of going after all these country bumpkins? I want to meet Diana when I get home. You promised me her hand in marriage if I be the cat king!¡±

    Roly Poly eavesdropped on the conversation and slid Matcha a condescending re, ¡°Hmph, his head ispletely contaminated with lust. How can he ever match up to me? However, I feel left out being invisible all day. Has Zhao Yao forgotten about me already?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead creased together when Matcha¡¯s words rang in his head, ¡°No, I need to attract Matcha¡¯s attention to this important mission.¡± Instantly, he grabbed Matcha by his neck before bringing him away.

    ¡°Meow! Zhao Yao, what are you trying to do?¡±

    Matcha struggled with all his might but it was futile. Every timefreeze would culminate in a fruitless struggle beforending right back in Zhao Yao¡¯s hands. Matcha was no match for Zhao Yao since they shared the exact same ability.

    Zhao Yao dangled Matcha by his neck andforted him, ¡°Alright, just stop struggling. I¡¯m trying to help you getid.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s heart softened when he heard those enticing words. The pushes and shovels grew weaker but he continued eximing, ¡°No! I don¡¯t want to getid! I want to preserve my purity for Diana!¡±

    Zhao Yao had known Matcha since the day he was born and knew exactly what he was like. A bone-chilling scream coupled with a feeble struggle just meant that he did not mean his words. With that, Zhao Yao brought Matcha into the cabins in search of a female cat.

    Zhao Yao swung the door open into the third-floor cabin. Suddenly, everyone stood rooted to their spot with the cabin developed in pin-drop silence. All eyes were focused on Zhao Yao and no one had any idea what he was nning to do.

    This was the power of influence that came along with absolute strength. No one dared to even lift a finger with the headless horseman¡¯s arrival.

    A moment of silence ensued since Zhao Yao¡¯s arrival before his lips parted, ¡°Erm ... is anyone¡¯s cat interested in breeding a new batch of kittens? I can provide a male cat for free!¡±

    Anger seared through Matcha when he heard those demeaning words and began meowing at the top of his voice, ¡°You call that getting meid? You are just humiliating me in front of everyone! Quick! Let me down right now!¡±

    However, everyone¡¯s eyes lit up when they heard those seemingly ridiculous words.

    Everyone had witnessed for themselves just how strong the headless horseman was. The opportunity to breed with his supercat was simply a godsend!

    The world of supercats was still a nascent field in the midst of development and no one knew whether superpowers were hereditary if supercats bred together. However, this was a valuable opportunity which came once in a lifetime.

    Hence, an amazing scene happened. Throngs of apostles swarmed towards Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°Dear headless horseman, how do you find this female cat here?¡±

    Even though the bulk of the contestants were stray supercats, many cat kings were domestic supercats belonging to apostles like Liu Yun, Xiao Yu, and Zhao Yao.

    Matcha¡¯s struggles grew weaker and weaker when the crowd of apostles surrounded them and began to sell their supercats. Images of pedigree female cats drowning him in affection began to flood in his mind.

    However, supercat breeding was vastly different from a conventional cat breeding. With their human-like intelligence, the sess of the breeding not only hinged on the apostles¡¯ approval but also depended on the cat¡¯s inclinations.

    Furthermore, Zhao Yao¡¯s mission required all female cats to develop a liking for Matcha.

    Hence, Zhao Yao threw his hands in the air to get all their attention, ¡°Everyone, do not get too excited. You can never force anything or anyone into a rtionship. Thus, I would like you to bring your cats forward to allow them to interact and engage. A fulfilling rtionship requires twomitted partners.¡±

    The apostles scurried all over the ce and brought their precious supercats to meet Matcha for this widely-anticipated blind date assembly.

    Xiao Yu stared wide-eyed at this bewildering scene and asked, ¡°What the hell are you trying to do?¡±

    ¡°I am trying to help my cat find his soul partner.¡± Zhao Yao replied sternly, ¡°He is old enough to start his own family already.¡±

    Ten minutester, Matcha sat on an imposing chair with a smug expression. He stared at the orange cat in front of him with a look of disdain before mming his snow-white paws against the table and roared, ¡°Where is my light? I need to switch off the light in order to eliminate this contestant!¡±

    ¡°F*ck you! Do you actually take this as If You Are The One?¡± Zhao Yao mmed his hands against his head before reminding him, ¡°Engage in a meaningful conversation and leave a good impression on these girls.¡±

    Matcha then greeted her with a wide grin before asking, ¡°Hi, may I know what your name is? What do you do or a living? How old are you?¡±

    ¡°Where¡¯s that stupid brat? Fish Ball!¡± Zhao Yao scrambled down the alley in search of him. Whenever a supercat or apostle met him, they would instantly move to a side and let Zhao Yao pass. They would even nod in his direction or say hello.

    It seemed like every contestant had acknowledged the headless horseman¡¯s strength, even though it might just be an act.

    After spending 10 minutes rummaging through the cabins, Zhao Yao finally found himself outside a room, with music sting from within. He slowly pushed the door open and was greeted by the sight of tens of cats dancing to the disco lights twinkling in the room.

    Fish Ball stood in the middle of the room with lights shining from his paws. A frown appeared on his face when he noticed Zhao Yao and he responded by shouting, ¡°Alright, alright, it¡¯s time to leave!¡± Because of the overwhelming music, he even had to m against the wall before repeating, ¡°Everyone, stop what you¡¯re doing! Switch off the music and leave now!¡±

    Naturally, the supercats dared not defy his orders since the headless horseman was already here.

    Zhao Yao knew something was amiss when he noticed the boxes strewn all over the floor. He lifted them up one by one and saw heaps of catmint beneath it beforemanding, ¡°Everyone, squat down and put your hands behind your head.¡± A frown crept up his face as he continued, ¡°I want all the female cats to raise their paws.¡±

    Immediately, an entire row of cats raised their paws. Zhao Yao could not help but mutter, ¡°No wonder there were so few cats at the blind date. At first, I thought it was a simple gender disparity problem. I didn¡¯t expect all of them to be hiding here. I guess this is just a surprise gift for me.¡±

    ¡°What are all of you doing down here?¡± Zhao Yao roared.

    All their eyes instantaneously swept towards Fish Ball.

    ¡°Master Fish Ball told us toe down here and have some fun.¡±

    ¡°He said that he was going to show us his precious family heirloom!¡±

    ¡°He even said that he had prepared some gifts for us!¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately rolled his eyes when he heard all that nonsense, but he could not help but admit, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this Fish Ball to be so good with girls.¡± With that, he lifted Fish Ball off the ground and instructed the female cats, ¡°I want all of you to go back up. I heard there¡¯s a tall, handsome and rich male cat organizing a blind date.¡±

    ¡°Huh! Really?¡±

    ¡°Of course! I heard that he is a mix between twelve of the most beautiful pedigrees! His fur is even softer than down feather while his eyes are brighter than the brightest star shining in the night sky. Also, his family has fortunes that you cannot possibly imagine! Every day, he wakes up to a one hundred square meters cat bed before spending his time training and eating the freshest fish caught from the depths of the ocean.¡±

    All the female cat¡¯s eyes sparkled with excitement after hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s captivating description and instantly broke into chatters.

    Meanwhile, Fish Ball mustered his most amiable smile and looked fondly in Zhao Yao¡¯s direction, ¡°My dear Zhao Yao, is there anything that I can help you with?¡±

    ¡°Be a light bulb.¡±

    Fish Ball was left dumbfounded by Zhao Yao¡¯s answer but simply followed Zhao Yao all the way up before getting thrown right in front of Matcha. Zhao Yao mmed his hand against the back of his head and instructed, ¡°On.¡±

    With Fish Ball all lit up, he mmed his hand once again before instructing, ¡°Off.¡±

    ¡°Are you happy now?¡± Zhao Yao asked with his eyes glued to Matcha, ¡°Can you continue with the blind date?¡±

    Fish Ball¡¯s appearance brought instant joy to Matcha¡¯s face. He quickly sprang to his feet before pping his paw against Fish Ball. Instantly, Fish Ball¡¯s head lit up.

    ¡°Not bad. I really have to give it to you.¡± Matcha returned to his seat with a gleeful smile stered on his face. Suddenly, he started screaming again, ¡°Can I have a swivel chair?¡± Zhao Yao let out a sigh of despair before grabbing a knife from his belly and mmed it against the table.

    ¡°Meowhahaha! It was just a joke! Why so serious?¡± Matcha forced an awkward smile in an attempt to make the situation less tense. He then cocked his head towards the female cat and asked, ¡°Oh yes, may I have your name?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s temple throbbed with anger when he witnessed just how cocky Matcha was. However, the thought ofpleting the mission and upgrading his BOOK stopped him from doing anything too drastic. He was just going to let things slide for now.

    The orange cat replied excitedly, ¡°My name is baby. I¡¯m currently two years old. Actually, I don¡¯t have a full-time job but I spend my free time working as a pet cat. I love to suntan and ...¡±

    ¡°Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop¡± Matcha stretched his body forward before pping his paw against Fish Ball. With that, the light emanating from his head dimmed down as Matcha sneered, ¡°Nothing special at all. Also, you look like a vige cat. For that, you¡¯re out. Get lost.¡±

    Meow! Matcha¡¯s cruel words brought tears to the innocent cat¡¯s eyes. This further infuriated Zhao Yao as he sent another p flying towards Matcha, ¡°What the hell are you doing? I told you to maintain a good rtionship with every single cat here!¡±

    Matcha acted all pitiful and replied, ¡°I already have the light. Shouldn¡¯t I try to turn it off?¡±

    Matcha¡¯s words only managed to add fuel to the fire as Zhao Yao retorted, ¡°Onest chance. Leave a good impression on all of them. Understood?¡±

    ...

    Suddenly, an extraordinarily elegant Persian cat appeared with her body bathed in snow white skin. She hesitated to open her mouth before saying, ¡°My name is ...¡±

    ¡°You have passed!¡± Matcha interrupted her and mmed his paw against his chest, ¡°You do not have to speak! I¡¯m so touched by your sincerity.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s word caught the cat by surprise as she remarked, ¡°But I haven¡¯t even told you my name ...¡±

    Matcha threw his paws in the air and replied, ¡°No need for that! True sincerity need not be conveyed through words! I have already heard everything through my heart.¡±

    After saying that, Matcha copsed to the ground with his limbs all stretched apart, in spreadeagle position, ¡°Your opportunity has arrived! I¡¯m giving you one minute to lick me! You can lick wherever you want!¡±

    ¡°Er...¡± The Persian cat started inching away from Matcha before saying, ¡°I think I¡¯m going to give it a pass. I don¡¯t think we are thatpatible.¡±

    A smile crept up Matcha¡¯s face when he noticed that cat escaping from his clutches. He sniggered, ¡°Are you shy? Zhao Yao, can I bring her home? I think she is already hopelessly in love with me!¡±

    ¡°Bring your ass!¡± Zhao Yao retaliated with another p and continued, ¡°Listen to me. I have given you the best opportunities but you can¡¯t even get a single cat!¡±

    ...

    Suddenly, Tiny had made her way inside and was rather embarrassed when she found herself next to Matcha. With her face all red, she said, ¡°Hi, King George.¡±

    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s you?¡± Matcha simply reacted by pping his paw against Fish Ball¡¯s head nonchntly.

    Zhao Yao could not believe his eyes and decided to take matters into his own hand. By controlling Matcha, he said, ¡°Tiny, I like you.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Somehow, her face managed to turn even redder as she stammered, ¡°But, I, I, I, I ...¡±

    ¡°There is no but. I have seen many female cats but I only love you. Wait for me outside. I¡¯ll be with you the moment I¡¯m done.¡±

    A contented smile appeared on Tiny¡¯s face. She left the ce as joy filled her like sunshine.

    Zhao Yao could finally breathe a sigh of relief and muttered, ¡°At least we managed to get one.¡± He looked towards Matcha before speaking condescendingly, ¡°Do you see that? That¡¯s how you do it.¡±

    However, none of the remaining cats even expressed a hint of affection for Matcha.

    ¡°I think I prefer Master Fish Ball ...¡±

    ¡°I really think Master Fish Ball is more handsome than you.¡±

    The corner of Matcha¡¯s lips gradually drooped downwards with the flood of negativements.

    ¡°Master Fish Ball is so handsome with the lights shining from his paws.¡±

    ¡°Can I bring him away?¡±

    Matcha pointed his finger at the door furiously, ¡°Get lost! Now! Right now!¡±

    Fish Ball simply reveled in happiness as the cats continued to rain praises at him.

    ¡°Where is the next cat? Get the next one in right now!¡±

    Roly Poly could not help butugh at his predicament, ¡°She was thest one.¡±

    ¡°Huh? How can that happen? Isn¡¯t it the survival of the fittest? With my superpower, I should be the most popr cat around! How can this possibly happen? Why is this happening to me?¡±

    ¡°D*mn it! How can I possibly lose to Fish Ball?¡± Matcha copsed to the floor with disappointment sagging through his body, even his taily limply next on the ground. A series of ear-splitting shrieks were also heard.

    A radiating smile shed across Fish Ball¡¯s face when he saw just how pathetic Matcha was, ¡°There were at least 50 female cats that came for the blind date. That means he was rejected 50 times!¡±

    Bam! Matcha clutched tightly against his chest and felt his heartbeat growing weaker and weaker. His expression was totally devoid of any spirit or energy.

    Zhao Yao tried to salvage the situation with all sorts of ideas but it was to no avail. The mission remained iplete even after the ship docked.

    It was a herculean task for a female cat to even develop a tinge of affection for Matcha. To Zhao Yao, this task even harder than winning the cat kingpetition.

    The difficulty of the task only grew exponentially after they left the ship. The chances of him meeting every single female cat were close to zero.

    Zhao Yao eyes drifted from the iplete status of the BOOK to the starry sky as a wave of sadness swept over him.

    ¡°Never mind, at least I managed to win Fortune Cat. My ie will definitely increase by a few folds from the next month onwards. In the long run, the experience earned using Fortune Cat will be way more than the one earned from this stupid mission.¡±

    Zhao Yao was finally ready to redeem his prize afterforting himself. However, he looked around and realized that both Matcha and Roly Poly had suddenly disappeared. If not for his ck robes, he would already have exposed his identity.

    ¡°King George! It¡¯s time to get off the boat!¡±

    ¡°Where did those two fes go?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s ears gave a slight shudder as he heard Roly Poly¡¯s screams amidst the noise of the scurrying wind. He went straight towards the source of the screams.

    Zhao Yao mmed the cabin door open only to see Matcha kneeling on the ground with his front paws tightly sped together. Meanwhile, Roly Poly was spotted with a shaver in his paw and a cynical smile on his face. He was shaving Matcha¡¯s head!

    At the moment, half of Matcha¡¯s head had already been shaved bald. His eyes and paws were both firmly shut together.

    Zhao Yao had never expected to see this and roared at the top of his voice, ¡°What are the two of you even doing?¡±

    Roly Poly immediately released the shaver when Zhao Yao¡¯s intimidating voice rang in his head. He instantly rushed over to exin, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! Matcha said that he wanted to be a monk! This has nothing to do with me at all!¡±

    ¡°Amitabha.¡± Matcha greeted with a face of abject despair, ¡°I am no longer the Matcha that you used to know. I am a monk and my name is Green Tea. I have managed to see beyond the travesties of life. Now, my only wish is to spread the name of Buddha before I end my wretched life.¡±

    The corner of Roly Poly¡¯s lips curled upwards when he heard those ridiculous ims, ¡°Meowhaha! This time, I had finally managed to get the better of Matcha! No one will be able to take the throne away from me now that he is a monk!¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes when he heard those absurd words and thought, ¡°Does he really have to turn into a monk just because of 50 rejections?¡±

    ¡°Alright, alright.¡± Zhao Yao dismissed Matcha¡¯s words by dragging him out of the room and squashing Roly Poly into his cloak. He decided to put an end to this nonsense by saying, ¡°Stop it, alright? I¡¯ll top up your Mobile Legends credit when we get home.¡±

    ¡°A monk shall not indulge in such hedonistic activities.¡±

    ¡°Oh really? Initially, I wanted to reward you with RMB 500 for your performance in thispetition.¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao, where is my phone?¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s body locked up with rage when he noticed a smile crawling up Matcha¡¯s face and whispered, ¡°This piece of trash! Does he even know the meaning of persistence?¡±

    With the two cats in his arms, Zhao Yao finally left the shop and was greeted by the sight of Xiao Yu, the husky, Fish Ball, the Serval cat and Liu Yun.

    ¡°Wow. You guys have been waiting for me all this time?¡± Zhao Yao asked with a beaming smile.

    Xiao Yu nodded her head before replying, ¡°Hmph, there is still the threat of the organizers and the contestants stalking us. Hence, we need your help to turn us invisible for us to leave safely. We will pay you for this service.¡±

    ¡°Definitely,¡± Zhao Yao nodded his head and continued, ¡°But I have to go collect my prize first!¡±

    Xiao Yu replied with the same cordial nod. There was even a hint of excitement in her voice as she said, ¡°It¡¯s alright, we will wait for you here. And ... can I borrow your Fortune Cat in the future?¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately shot down that suggestion and answered, ¡°I am using this cat for an important mission, not for fun. Furthermore, you are just a kid. Why do you even need so much money?¡±

    ¡°I am about to enter middle school! I am not a kid!¡± Xiao Yu crossed her arms over her chest before remarking condescendingly, ¡°Zhao Yao, if you continue behaving in this manner, you will spend the rest of your life alone.¡±

    Zhao Yao replied with a smirk and said, ¡°That is not my concern at all. With money, I can buy anything in this world, including love.¡±

    After waiting for more than half an hour, cat king of the north finally returned with an entourage of toy soldiers ambling behind him. One of them even slung a cat bag across his back.

    A warm fuzzy feeling radiated from within as Zhao Yao rushed over to receive the cat bag. He lowered his head and saw a cat coated in silky white fur. Only its tail was covered in ck. The cat stared at Zhao Yao with a look of disdain. Obviously, this cat was rather unhappy.

    ¡°Red Packet! I will be your owner from today onwards! You must listen to me, okay?¡± Zhao Yao showered it with cuddles and hugs as he received his prize ¨C Red Packet ¨C from the toy soldiers.

    Red Packet simply slid him a condescending re before turning its body around and exposing its butt to Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao did not think too much of its behavior because it was perfectly normal for cats to behave in this manner when they arrive at a new environment.

    However, cat king of the north left Zhao Yao some words of caution, ¡°Red Packet does not have a significantly dangerous power but it has the worst temper I have ever seen. Red Packet is just a real-life Scrooge. You must be careful when you¡¯re with it. Also, do not expose it to any electrical devices such asputers or phones.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head but none of the words actually registered in his head as he grabbed the cat from the toy soldier¡¯s hands.

    Cat king of the north¡¯s eyes squinted into a hard line as he observed Zhao Yao and gang disappear from his sights before whispering, ¡°This headless horseman ...¡±

    Suddenly, the vast ocean split into two halves before Li Li, the cat king of the south, emerged from within and asked, ¡°Is this type of person even deserving of the title? Don¡¯t you find him rather dubious?¡±

    ¡°This is what you see on the surface. Actually, he is a very principled man.¡± Cat king of the north bellowed inughter before exining, ¡°In the first round, he spent so much effort saving the lives of the innocent. For the subsequent rounds, he always made a conscientious effort to ensure the safety of the other contestants. Despite their heavy injuries, none of them are at risk of dying.

    However, this also means that he has not demonstrated his full power yet. With his remarkable control over his powers, I dare not imagine how strong he actually is. Furthermore, this man here has not been tainted by his power that he had harnessed. He still retains a pure and kind heart. Hence, he is the perfect candidate to be the cat king of Jiangmen City.¡±

    After sending everyone home, Zhao Yao tricked Red Packet into his belly before returning to the caf¨¦. Given its nonbat power, Zhao Yao was able to lure it inside the belly effortlessly.

    On his way back to the caf¨¦, Nekomata was secretly stalking him in his spirit form. A series of questions flooded his mind as Nekomata pondered, ¡°Why is Zhao Yao so strong? Why does he have Ares¡¯s power? How are Gaia and the rest doing now that they are with him?¡±

    Nekomata knew that he could not suppress his urge to find the answers to his questions.

    Zhao Yao finally received his well-earned break after this entire escapade. For the past two weeks, he had spent all his timepleting missions and training to get stronger. The physical exhaustion is simply unimaginable, evident from his humongous eyebags.

    Actually, Zhao Yao wasn¡¯t that eager to put Fortune Cat¡¯s ability to the test. Instead, this brief respite would serve as a perfect opportunity for Fortune Cat to get used to the environment inside the belly.

    Hence, Zhao Yao resumed hisfortable and peaceful life where he would spend the bulk of his time in the caf¨¦ before returning home to his cats and games. Despite staying clear from the world of apostles and supercats, the headless horseman¡¯s name continued to spread far and wide.

    As usual, both Matcha and Zhao Yao were nestled in the massage chair and couch respectively with their eyes glued to their favorite phone game.

    Suddenly, Hanako left the bathroom with a white towel draped precariously over her body. Other than the few vital spots, the rest of her body were all exposed as her silky white skin glistened in the air. She had grown extremely generous in her choice of clothes since witnessing Bai Quan¡¯s weird outburst.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s lips curled in disgust when he noticed Hanako mming her legs against the table at the corner of his eyes. He could not help but remark, ¡°Please, can you at least try to behave like a girl instead of some hooligan?¡±

    ¡°Erm. Is there anything wrong with my behavior?¡± In her mind, she had nothing to lose even if she dressed provocatively around people like Zhao Yao and Baiquan.

    Zhao Yao continuedmenting, ¡°Can you at least put on your undergarment before sitting here?¡±

    ¡°Who even wears their undergarment when they¡¯re at home?¡± Hanako questioned, ¡°Zhao Yao, you have no idea how unhealthy it is to wear the bra all day long! Furthermore, it¡¯s so ufortable with the wire pressing against my boobs! Also, your aircon sucks! I prefer wearing as few clothes as possible.¡±

    Zhao Yao was left speechless by her brazen words and simply shook his head helplessly. When he first met her, Hanako was the quintessential Japanesedy who was quiet and polite. Now, she was the pr opposite! She had begun to reveal her disgusting and obnoxious nature. All she knew was to put up a pretense outside before exposing her true self at home.

    ¡°Yay!¡± Hanako mmed open the fridge before grabbing four cans of beer into her arms. She copsed onto the couch after taking one big gulp worth of beer and announced, ¡°Comfort is drinking a can of ice-cold beer after a long, hard day at work!¡±

    Meanwhile, Elizabeth was standing on the windowsill as her furry tail swung from side to side. Her eyes were fixed on the phone screen as she continued to post photos on Weibo.

    ¡°Since awakening, I have learned that money is the most important tool in a person¡¯s life. Nothing can stop you if you have money.¡±

    ¡°Based on my astute observations over the past six months, I have concluded that the fastest way for a cat to earn money is to be a celebrity. The most famous cat online could bring in hundreds or even millions of dors a year.¡± A sneaky smile crept up her face as she began stalking the celebrity cats¡¯ profiles.

    ¡°It is finally my time. It is Elizabeth¡¯s time.¡± She had painstakingly sieved through her deluge of photos for this particr one. The photo also included Catherina, Diana, and even Caesar.

    A glimmer shed across her eyes when she noticed an adorable photo of her rolling on the floor in her camera roll. She immediately posted that photo to create her perfectly curated profile for instant stardom.

    ¡°Hmph, with my intellect and face, it¡¯s only a matter of time before I be the next Emma Watson. With all themercials and sponsorships waiting for me, I need to devote some time to count all these money.¡±

    With that narcissistic thought lingering in her head, she began browsing through Weibo for sensationalized news, ¡°Come to think of it, I¡¯m already half a celebrity. I should spend some time learning more about current affairs and interesting news.¡±

    Her smile gradually faded and was reced by a frown as she began to skim through the contents on Weibo. She could hardly believe what she had read.

    ¡°A smart cat has sessfully managed toplete elementary school math questions ...¡±

    ¡°This adorable cat helps her owner clean the apartment, wash clothes and even offer a free massage service ...¡±

    ¡°One special cat in a district has reinstated order in the park by forcing all stray cats to line up wherever they go.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with this world?¡± Elizabeth roared as her cheeks turned crimson, ¡°I am positive no such thing appeared on the news one week ago! Why are there suddenly so many supercats appearing on the news?¡±

    This was actually the work of the government. Prior to the cat kingpetition, the government officials would take down such information the moment they were posted online. This exined the paucity of cat-rted posts on social media.

    Maybe, some astute inte users might have realized that something was amiss. However, the majority of the poption would have been kept in the dark,pletely oblivious to the existence of suprecats.

    However, with news of the cat kingpetition spreading like wildfire, it was virtually impossible to put a stop to the dissemination of such information. Hence, more and more photos or videos began to leak through the gaps.

    Most people simply treated this information like tabloids or BuzzFeed news. On the other hand, it provided an ideal tform for supercats to integrate into the human society.

    ¡°D*mn it, why are there so many supercats on Weibo? Doesn¡¯t that just cut my advantage by half?¡±

    Rice Cake¡¯s sudden scream broke Elizabeth¡¯s train of thought while she wasmenting her gloomy future, ¡°Zhao Yao! Why did my screen turn ck again?¡±

    ¡°Just restart theputer!¡±

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t work!¡±

    ¡°Tsk.¡± Zhao Yao slid Rice Cake a condescending re before walking over to help her.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s phone started buzzing the moment he went over to Rice Cake. Matcha¡¯s ears gave a slight shudder as he struggled to open his eyes before screaming, ¡°Zhao Yao, it¡¯s your phone!¡±

    ¡°Can you help me take a look at the message?¡±

    Matcha struggled to crawl towards the phone before prying his eyes open to read the message from Xiao Ming.

    ¡°I still have RMB 20,000,000 frozen inside my bank ount. I¡¯m currently trapped in Chuan Xiao District of Zha Pian Province. Quickly,e save me! I will return you RMB 10,000,000 the moment I¡¯m free! Urgent!¡±

    Matcha¡¯s forehead creased together as his eyes drifted across the screen. He then cocked his head in Zhao Yao¡¯s direction and shouted, ¡°It¡¯s a message from a scammer!¡±

    ¡°Just ignore it then!¡±

    Matcha thought long and hard before crafting his perfect reply, ¡°The number which you are contacting has been deactivated due to theck of funds.¡± Xiao Ming instantly replied, ¡°D*mn it! I have no time to joke with you! I¡¯m really trapped! Come now!¡±

    ¡°Hmph, do you take me for a fool?¡± Matcha began brainstorming for the perfect words before crafting his next message, ¡°The number could be activated with an RMB 100 deposit. Kindly send the money to this ount.¡±

    Xiao Ming, who was miles away, screamed every single profanity he knew before giving in to Matcha¡¯s request and transferred the money to this ount, ¡°Happy?¡±

    Matcha looked at the money in his ount and grinned from ear to ear before transferring it to his WeChat ount, ¡°There are so many fools nowadays.¡± When Matcha was about to continue his scam, he noticed a giant shadow looming over his body.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡¯

    Matcha slowly cocked his head back before copsing to the ground with the phone buried under his butt, ¡°Meow! I¡¯m just helping you scam the scammer!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s brows knitted together as he bent forward to grab his phone from beneath his butt. Zhao Yao nced through the conversation before instructing Matcha, ¡°Transfer the money back to me.¡±

    ¡°Scumbag,¡± Matcha muttered as despair dragged his body down into the bed.

    At the same time, Zhao Yao was alerted to the new changes made to his mission panel. He froze in his tracks as excitement shot out from his eyes when he saw the reward awaiting him.

    Mission: Save Xiao Ming!

    Objective: Rescue Xiao Ming back to Jiangmen City!

    Reward: 1000 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    Xiao Ming could finally breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the reply, ¡°Finally, he agreed.¡± Xiao Ming looked nothing like before. He was stripped of his luxurious watches, premium rings, and the other essories. His cheeks werepletely sunken and he looked like he had not eaten for days or even weeks.

    A pair of teenager and elderly man stood by his side. Their suits were all crumpled up and it was a poor fit for the both of them.

    The older man nodded his head beforementing, ¡°Alright, we shall just wait for your friend. Xiao Ming, you will be in charge of weing him. A promotion awaits you at the end of this mission.¡±

    A glimmer shed across his eyes as Xiao Ming nodded his head.

    The teenager took a step towards the elderly man and asked, ¡°Meng Ye, isn¡¯t that guy an apostle? Is this even safe?¡±

    The old man sniggered, ¡°What are you scared of? We have Old Cat on our side. Even a dragon would have to bow down to us.¡±

    The teenager cocked his head towards Xiao Ming before mming a punch into his face, ¡°Why are youughing? I told you to do as I instruct you to. Do notugh without my permission!¡±

    Xiao Ming copsed to his knees and eximed, ¡°Yes! Yes! Yes! Bro, you are right!¡±

    At this moment, the teenager¡¯s eyes swept towards the old man¡¯s direction as he asked, ¡°Meng Ye, what are we going to do since he¡¯sing tomorrow?¡±

    Meng Ye¡¯s eyes squinted into a hard line when he heard the teenager¡¯s question. He stroked his chin thoughtfully before opening his mouth to reveal a set of yellowish-brown teeth, corroded by years of relentless smoking, ¡°Tell him that arrangments have been made. A friend will be there to receive him at the train station. Just follow the guy here.¡±

    His brows knitted together as the teenager rified, ¡°Aren¡¯t you gonna send Xiao Ming to receive him?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s as good as giving them a train ticket each to escape.¡± The old man sniggered before continuing, ¡°We must find some way to lure him here. Once here, he will be as good as a flightless bird with no chance of escaping my clutches. Tiger, you will be the one receiving him tomorrow. Bring him here by hook or by crook.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes darted across the phone screen as he concluded, ¡°From the looks of it, someone is taking him hostage and they¡¯re trying to lure me into their trap.¡±

    Zhao Yao weed the new day with a bowl of piping hot porridge before informing the rest, ¡°I¡¯ll be out for some mission today, so I¡¯ll need your help to take care of the caf¨¦.¡±

    Before Baiquan could even respond, Hanako had already interrupted them, ¡°Huh? Are you going for another holiday? Why not we just close the caf¨¦ for a day and organize apany retreat? I mean it¡¯s almost the end of the year already!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s right eyebrow shot up as her voice rang in his head, ¡°Oh my god, I have almost forgotten about the existence of apany retreat. D*mn it.¡± He could only cate her with a stupid excuse, ¡°A caf¨¦ is not exactly apany, hence we do not havepany retreats. Furthermore, what will happen to our ardent supporters if we close for a day? Who will satisfy their need to y with cats?¡±

    However, the frown did not leave Hanako¡¯s face even after hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s feeble excuse as she continued, ¡°Are you sure it¡¯s not because you¡¯ve forgotten about it? You should at least treat all of us to a meal if you can¡¯t afford a retreat!¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head as he listened to Hanako¡¯s suggestions, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll treat all of you to a scrumptious meal when I return.¡± His head instantly cocked towards Baiquan and instructed him, ¡°Baiquan, go and Baidu for the best hotel in the entire Jiangmen City. I will pay for the meal there.¡±

    With that, he threw Roly Poly over his shoulders as they left for his Panamera before heading towards Xiao Ming¡¯s direction.

    Meanwhile, Roly Poly was seated on the co-driver seat with a beaming smile stered on his face. He could hardly believe that he was the only cat chosen for the mission as a smile danced on his lips.

    ¡°Meowhaha, I have finally risen through the ranks and be Zhao Yao¡¯s favorite cat!¡±

    While Roly Poly was immersed in his fantasies, Zhao Yao¡¯s voice suddenly rang in his head, ¡°Roly Poly, do you know why I brought you out on this mission?¡±

    With a twinkle in his eyes, Roly Poly answered, ¡°I have no idea why.¡±

    ¡°I havee up with a brilliant n. I need your help to turn the entire car invisible.¡±

    Roly Poly was pleased to know that Zhao Yao was so dependent on his power and immediately eded to his request. Instantly, the car had vanished into thin air, leaving no trace of its existence.

    ¡°Haha, that¡¯s the way. Roly Poly put on your seatbelt. We are about to have some fun!¡±

    Zhao Yao mmed his foot on the elerator as the car rumbled to life and sped down the road at warp speed. At the entrance to the district, Zhao Yao simply slid the security guard a nce as a red glimmer shed across his eye. With that, he continued speeding down the road.

    Only one word could urately describe the exhration sensation of speeding in an invisible car: orgasmic.

    Because no one could see him, none of the pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers even bothered to dodge him. Hence, Zhao Yao had to weave through the traffic with death brushing against him.

    However, this exhrating sensation was somewhat less intense for Zhao Yao. With his ¡°Four is better than three¡± and his heightened sensory skills, snaking through this traffic were nothing too difficult. He had far surpassed what humans are normally capable of.

    The invisible car continued to slide past the non-stop traffic with no hints of stopping. At most, Zhao Yao would simply control the other drivers with illusion while he continued to zoom past them, including the toll payments.

    With Roly Poly¡¯s power, not only did he manage to save time, he also managed to evade the sea of cameras scattered across the ce.

    After more than ten hours of non-stop driving, Zhao Yao finally made reached the edge of Zha Pian Province that night.

    The traffic over here was far worse than Jiangmen City. Even Zhao Yao was forced to slow down to aplete halt. Left with no better options, Zhao Yao absorbed the car into his belly before making his way by foot.

    Zhao Yao surveyed his surroundings, and could only see trees, trees and more trees. He could not help but mutter, ¡°This is really secluded.¡±

    Roly Poly, who stood beside him, was paler than usual as saliva trickled down his lips. He started vomiting the moment he left the car as he cursed in his head, ¡°This stupid reckless driver! What is he doing? I will never turn his car invisible ever again!¡±

    ¡°Roly Poly, turn us invisible. We are going in.¡±

    With his face drenched in sweat, Roly Poly copsed to his knees as he pleaded, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! I feel like shit. I don¡¯t have any energy to use my power at all.¡±

    Zhao Yao took a nce at Roly Poly and noticed how sick he was. Zhao Yao could only nod his head and acquiesced to his request, ¡°Alright.¡± With that, he threw Roly Poly into his cat bag before slinging it over his shoulders and made his way into the district. At most, Roly Poly could activate his power the moment the situation called for it.

    A cheeky smile crept up his face as heidfortably in the cat bag, ¡°Thank god for my cute face.¡±

    Soon enough, Zhao Yao had made his way into the district. However, he had no intentions to contact Xiao Ming via WeChat yet.

    Zhao Yao could not help but shake his head when he looked back on Xiao Ming¡¯s downfall.

    When he first met him, Xiao Ming was the quintessential Fu Er Dai, with heaps of money awaiting him. However, his luck had gone downhill since the day supercats were awakened. Firstly, his entire family was torn apart by the work of Nekomata. Then, he got cheated of all his money in his ¡®business ventures¡¯. Now, he even required Zhao Yao¡¯s help to save him.

    ¡°Speaking of which, that guy still owes me RMB 50,000,000.¡± This thought rekindled a me in Zhao Yao as his body surged with energy.

    However, he had no n to meet the person at the train station as of yet. As a seasoned apostle, he knew the oue of walking directly into a carefullyid trap.

    Superpower was something that was lethal offensively but feeble defensively. He would be in an extremely disadvantageous position if he was caught off guard.

    Usually, a sneak attack or an ambush could easily kill an opponent, who might be significantly stronger, in a matter of seconds.

    Zhao Yao had benefitted from this countless times and was not nning to be on the losing end this time around.

    He carefully ced a bracelet on his wrist as he instantaneously transformed into the most innocent looking middle-aged man.

    This was the illusion which he had spent all night crafting with one purpose ¨C to conceal his identity.

    With his initial preparations allpleted, Zhao Yao finally made his way towards the train station.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes started scanning the surroundings as he drew closer to the meeting point. Naturally, he could not find the ¡®friend¡¯ who was supposed to fetch him. Hence, he whipped out his phone and typed, ¡°Xiao Ming, I¡¯m almost there. Where is your friend?¡±

    Tiger¡¯s eyes were glued to his phone and he immediately replied, ¡°Are you driving? What car are you using? It¡¯s easier for us to find you instead.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s brows locked together as he replied, ¡°No, no. I¡¯m the oneing over to meet you. How can I expect you to find me instead?¡±

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao¡¯s ears gave a slight shudder as he noticed a shadow inching towards him.

    ¡°Who is that?¡± Zhao Yao wasted no time at all and immediately activated time freeze. With timeing to a standstill, he turned his body around and was greeted by a familiar face.

    ¡°Sonia?¡±

    Zhao Yao had never expected to see her here. However, her appearance managed to ay Zhao Yao¡¯s fear as he turned his body back before resuming time.

    Zhao Yao felt someone tapping on his shoulder and turned his head instinctively. He even pretended that he had only just noticed her and mustered an extremely puzzled face.

    Actually, Zhao Yao had already known who she was. She was none other than the most beautiful intern back in his office ¨C Sonia. He vividly remembered how his heart would pound rapidly whenever he noticed her at work but he still could not wrap his around her sudden appearance at this ce.

    They were never the closest friends but Zhao Yao recalled sending her to the airport before hearing news of her resignation not long after.

    Zhao Yao could not help but suspect, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that she has also been tricked here?¡±

    However, there was no chance that she could possibly recognize him under his guise as a middle-aged man.

    Naturally, Sonia broke the silence by saying, ¡°Hi, are you an apostle?

    This would sound like gibberish to any ordinary humans, but it made perfect sense in the world of superpowers.

    ¡°Yea?¡± Her words caught Zhao Yao by surprise as a rush of thoughts flooded his mind, ¡°How did she recognize that I¡¯m an apostle?¡±

    Sonia seemed to be able to read his mind and immediately rified his queries, ¡°A bunch of apostles has been streaming into this district for the past few days. I just had a weird hunch that you were an apostle.¡±

    ¡°Lots of people have beening here?¡± Zhao Yao was stumped by her words.

    ¡°Hmph, yeah. I guess you¡¯re also here for Chuan Xiao District, right? Many apostles have been duped by them. Let me warn you, the tricksters from Chuan Xiao District are no ordinary apostles. It will mean instant death if you decide to venture in alone, without backup.¡± Sonia then threw her hands in the air before gesturing Zhao Yao to follow her, ¡°Come with me, I¡¯ll bring you to meet the rest of the guys.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Her words just furtherplicated the situation as Zhao Yao whispered to himself, ¡°I guess I¡¯m not the first victim falling into their trap. How many apostles have been scammed already?¡± With nothing to lose, he decided to tag along and hopefully get hold of some information.

    With that in mind, he tapped on the WeChat application and typed, ¡°I¡¯ll be slightlyte, please wait for me.¡± Immediately, he caught up to Sonia and followed closely behind her.

    Tiger¡¯s forehead creased together when he opened his phone to this disappointing piece of news. He could only stay there and wait for Zhao Yao.

    While following behind her, Zhao Yao could not help butpare the current Sonia to the past her. Even though she was still as beautiful as ever, her aura had changed tremendously. She was no longer the timid little mouse but resembled more like a ferocious lioness. From the looks of it, she had also be an apostle and had her fair share of adventure.

    Sonia led Zhao Yao through intersecting streets which converged and diverged before stopping at one courtyard.

    Sonia¡¯s knuckles rapped against the door rapidly before it swung open to reveal a cool-looking man. He noticed Zhao Yao hiding behind her and began scrutinizing him from head to toe with a cold re.

    Sonia interrupted his inspection by saying, ¡°This is a neer from the train station. He is also here for Chuan Xiao District.¡±

    The man simply nodded in response before standing to a side to let them past. However, his eyes remained glued on Zhao Yao. He had a feeling something was amiss with this middle-aged man.

    Suddenly, his eyes swept towards Sonia as hemented, ¡°Priest Yang, Master Mao and the rest are all upstairs. You can go join them.¡±

    ¡°Master and priest?¡± Zhao Yao started whispering to himself, ¡°What kind of organization is this?¡±

    Sonia continued leading Zhao Yao towards a small building standing in the middle of the courtyard. She cautioned Zhao Yao, ¡°Never open your mouth. Just listen with your ears. Two apostles died at the hands of Chuan Xiao district two days ago. Everyone is rather edgy.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his hand in response. He knew that something was terribly wrong in Chuan Xiao district. This was also his first time meeting arge group of apostles in his current capacity. He had no idea how the world of superpowers looked in this foreign part of China.

    They could already hear noises rambling from the building when they were approaching it. It sounded like some sort of quarrel or argument.

    Following closely behind Sonia, Zhao Yao ascended a flight of stairs and saw tens of people huddled around with five or six cats.

    Zhao Yao knew exactly what happened by just eavesdropping on their conversations.

    The apostles and cats gathered here could be divided into two groups. The first party came here to save their rtives or friend trapped in Chuan Xiao District. These people were the majority.

    The minority came here because of money.

    The reason why all of them were gathered here, instead of rushing into Chuan Xiao District, was naturally because of this mission¡¯s difficulty.

    Clearly, one fraud organization resided in the heart of Chuan Xiao District and they were led by an extremely powerful supercat. All these time, they had been luring victims here before robbing them of their wealth and then cheating their friends and families

    Amongst the many victims was an individual whose brother was an apostle.

    Apparently, this apostle was a rather well-known individual from the north. Rage fueled him as he charged into the ce head-on only to be trapped inside without saving anyone.

    The sudden disappearance of the apostle attracted the attention of the apostlemunity. Members of Chuan Xiao District also came to realize that they weren¡¯t the only special individuals in the world and began luring other apostles there.

    More and more apostles were embroiled in this perplexing matter which attracted even more and more attention.

    ¡°Just look at our numbers! Do we really need to be afraid of the swindlers in that ce? I say we charge now! Why should we even be afraid?¡±

    ¡°We need to be careful and prudent. You can never be too careful in the world of superpowers. The two apostles that went there two days ago died. Do you want the rest of us to join them in heaven?¡±

    With so many apostles trapped inside, the rest of the apostles decided to join forces in order to take down theirmon enemy. However, the contrasting views made it impossible for them to settle on a single strategy.

    A middle-aged man and an elderly man stood in the middle of the pack. Evidently, they were the leaders of the group.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyebrows shot upwards when he saw them. He had never expected to meet another acquaintance here.

    Zhao Yao recognized those two as the two scammers from the house of Xiaos previously. They were none other than Priest Yang and Master Mao.

    Zhao Yao muttered, ¡°How did they manage to scam all these apostles here? This is impossible. Or maybe they have found a supercat. Maybe both of them are already apostles. Just my luck to meet the both of them here.¡±

    The arguments grew louder and louder before Master Mao mmed his palm against the table which put an end to the ruckus. His eyes gravitated towards Zhao Yao before he sniggered, ¡°Who is this new apostle here? Young friend, how about you introduce yourself to the rest of us?¡±

    Priest Yang also bellowed inughter as hemented, ¡°Everyone gathered here to exact revenge on Chuan Xiao District. Let us know who we are fighting alongside.¡±

    The endless squabbles were getting on their nerves and they only did this to achieve momentary peace and quiet.

    Instantaneously, tens of pairs of eyes were staring at Zhao Yao. Actually, they were looking at the illusion conjured by Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao reacted by running his fingers through his hair before uttering shyly, ¡°Hi, I am Adrian. My special power is my extraordinary good looks. People alwaysment that I look like Daniel Wu.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 336: Embracing Death like an Old Friend</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Master Mao and Priest Yang could not believe their ears as they stared dumbfoundedly at this highly delusional and narcissistic man.

    ¡°Is this apostle a nutcase? Can he just go and take a look at the god d*mn mirror! Which part of him even resembles Daniel Wu? I will be Louis Koo or Nick Cheung f he is Daniel Wu!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s absurd ims had somehow fanned the ming anger in the two of them as their body locked with fury.

    Sonia, who stood beside him during his introduction, took a few steps backward when she heard those preposterous words. She just wanted to cut off any links that could possibly connect her with him.

    However, she felt a strong arm grabbed onto her wrist the moment she took her first step. This armed belong to none other than Zhao Yao. He startedughing and continued, ¡°It is all thanks to thisdy for bringing me here! If not for her, I would not have had this opportunity to meet all you heroes.¡±

    An awkward smile found its way up Sonia¡¯s face as she replied, ¡°Actually, we are not that close.¡±

    Master Mao had no intentions to allow Zhao Yao to continue his stupid antics. It would simply taint the sanctity of this very meeting if he condoned this ludicrous behavior.

    Master Mao distracted the crowd with a timely cough before announcing, ¡°We will continue to rot if we stay here with our arms folded. However, it is not a wise move to charge into the ce without a proper n.¡±

    Immediately, one person jumped to his feet and asked, ¡°Master Mao, what do you suggest?¡±

    ¡°Based on my thirty years of experience ruling this savage world ...¡±

    Just when the atmosphere was about to reach the climax, beams of excitement shot out of Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes as he eximed, ¡°Is everyone intending to destroy the fraud organization in Chuan Xiao District?¡±

    Only one thing could get Zhao Yao so excited. Tens of apostles and cats stood in front of him with his favorite golden exmation mark floating above their heads. This was as good as striking lottery!

    This meant that everyone needed help with something rted to supercats. What kind of mission could possibly await Zhao Yao? Obviously, it was to destroy those scammers.

    Based on the experience point gathered from the annihtion of Muscle Society, Zhao Yao extrapted those data and multiplied it by the people surrounding him. Endless streams of points awaited him to harvest.

    One of the apostles stood up with his brows tightly knitted together as he roared, ¡°You don¡¯t say? Do you think all of us came here for a holiday? Obviously, all of us are gathered here to take down those crooks!¡±

    Sonia knew that things were about to go south as she flusteredly tugged on the corner of his shirt, urging him to keep his mouth shut.

    ¡°There is only one thing which I, Daniel Wu, absolutely abhor in this world and that is unreasonable people wreaking havoc in ordinary people¡¯s lives.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s temple throbbed with rage as he continued, ¡°I cannot walk away from this mission! I will take them down!¡±

    Everyone¡¯s jaw dropped to the ground when they heard Zhao Yao¡¯s words. What was wrong with this lunatic? Furthermore, Zhao Yao just introduced himself as Adrian moments ago. Now, he had turned into Daniel Wu in a matter of seconds.

    Mission: Annihte the fraud organization

    Objective: Destroy the vastwork in the organization and capture the leader amongst them

    Reward: 500 experience points and a bag of royal catmint

    Punishment: Nil

    ¡°Royal catmint?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s right eyebrow shot upwards the moment he noticed it. This was the first time a physical reward was up for grabs. Just the name itself made it sound like something special. Furthermore, the 500 experience points paled inparison rtive to the experience earned from taking down Muscle Society. Evidently, this royal catmint was something very unique.

    Zhao Yao muttered, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to find catmint in this part of the world. I guess it¡¯s harvest time.¡±

    Meanwhile, Master Mao was perplexed by Zhao Yao¡¯s sudden change in behavior as he acted all righteous and ethical. However, he shook these distracting thoughts out of his head before continuing, ¡°This ce is flooded with people, evil people with evil ns. Even though it is imperative that we enter, but we must go in prepared. We might not know their power but we should at least understand the geographical terrain, number of people, etc.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll go!¡± Zhao Yao jumped to his feet, ¡°I hate them and cannot stand the fact that they are continuing their atrocities! Let me do it!¡±

    Master Mao and Priest Yang slid each other a doubtful nce. Maybe they were wrong about this man. Maybe, he wasn¡¯t a nutcase but the righteous hero they had been waiting for.

    At this moment, Priest Yang stepped forward and offered some words of caution, ¡°My brother, Chuan Xiao District has beenpletely corroded by these vile people. Based on our intel, everyone there is a scammer, with no morals. This reconnaissance job will be tough and dangerous ...¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not afraid of death! Who has managed to escape the fate of death in history? I am honored to have this opportunity to die in the name of justice!¡±

    The surrounding apostles never expected these words toe out of Zhao Yao¡¯s mouth, but they also admired him for his strong character.

    ¡°I never knew that Daniel Wu was such a person.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m so ashamed to think that he was a lunatic at the beginning.¡±

    Roly Poly, who was resting in the cat bag, could hear the chatters amongst the crowd and rolled his eyes in response, ¡°This bunch of fools. All of you have been blinded by the devil. This man is far more dangerous than your stupid fraud organization.¡±

    His upromising determination to uphold justice caught Master Mao and Priest Yang by surprise. They could not imagine such a righteous man to exist in this world.

    However, Master Mao shook his head d and said, ¡°Brother, I appreciate your effort but the job of reconnaissance requires someone with superb hiding and infiltration skills ...¡±

    Zhao Yao answered immediately, ¡°I can try to be less handsome and pretend to be an ordinary man.¡±

    Those words caused Master Mao to quiver with anger. This son of a bitch was the quintessential ordinary man!

    However, it seemed impossible to turn down his offer, especially after witnessing his termination. Finally, Master Mao relented and said, ¡°Alright, we will have two groups of people infiltrating the ce. The firsts group will go in openly while the second group will sneak in. Brother, you will belong to the first group.¡±

    Mission: Collect intel

    Objective: Collect information about Chuan Xiao District

    Reward: The reward was dependent on the quantity and quality of intel collected. The experience point ranged from 10 to 1000 points.

    Punishment: Nil

    Joy bubbled up in Zhao Yao when he noticed another mission appearing in his BOOK. He thought, ¡°Alright, I will simply find out every single thing about these people before I destroy them!¡±

    While Master Mao and Priest Yang were busy selecting their finest men for the mission, Zhao Yao was already distracted by the remaining exmation marks.

    Firstly, he walked towards Sonia with a giant grin, ¡°Youngdy, you seem rather unhappy. Is something bothering you? Is there anything I can do to alleviate your worries?¡±

    Sonia thought that he was a righteous and virtuous man after hearing his promations and had a change of opinion of him. She decided to tell him the truth, ¡°Actually, my reason foring here is to save my sister from those crooks ...¡±

    In a blink of an eye, Zhao Yao had earned another mission with a few simple words. The grin stretched further as he tapped on her shoulders and said, ¡°If your sister is inside, I can simply bring her along when I¡¯m making my way out and bring her to you.¡±

    However, the exmation mark remained in that exact spot, causing Zhao Yao¡¯s heart to pound with excitement as he asked, ¡°Is there someone else caught in that ce? Do not be shy, just tell me. I guarantee you that I will bring them back in one piece.¡±

    Sonia¡¯s face copsed with despair. She was right. This man was crazy.

    A vein popped out in her neck when she heard Zhao Yao¡¯s response as she answered, ¡°There¡¯s no one else I care about inside that ce. My only wish is to save my sister and destroy this bunch of stupid scammers.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Zhao Yao nodded his head and epted another mission to destroy the fraudulent organization. He immediately took his leave when he realized the exmation mark had disappeared from her head.

    Sonia felt a wave of disappointment washing over her as she watched Zhao Yao leaving with despondency. She should never have ced all her hopes on a lunatic.

    After rounds of questioning, Zhao Yao had already developed his efficient and unique modus operandi to elicit the missions from them. Naturally, he gravitated to the next nearest exmation mark which belonged to Priest Yang, ¡°Do you have any friends or rtives trapped inside that ce?¡±

    Fear crossed his face as Priest Yang answered, ¡°I am here on a request to save a dear friend of mine.¡±

    ¡°Hmph,¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s head continued nodding along to Priest Yang¡¯s words before he rified, ¡°What¡¯s your friend¡¯s name? Can you describe his appearance? I¡¯ll try to rescue him while I¡¯m inside.¡±

    Priest Yang let out a sigh of despair before responding, ¡°It¡¯s okay. You going in alone to collect intel is already dangerous enough. How can I ever bother you with another mission?¡±

    In Priest Yang¡¯s eyes, this crazy man was the quintessential cannon fodder about to meet his demise. His only job was to distract the opponents from the actual team collecting intel. This was his one-way ticket to hell and he had no chance of escaping.

    Zhao Yao threw his hand in the air to stop Priest Yang from continuing, ¡°It¡¯s no trouble at all. This is as easy as stealing a candy from a kid. You just have to provide me with information about that person trapped inside. I guarantee to bring him back here safely.¡±

    Priest Yang finally relented after Zhao Yao¡¯s non-stop pestering. He thought that there was no harm in sharing information with a person about to meet his death.

    ¡°Xiao Ming?¡± This piqued Zhao Yao¡¯s curiosity, ¡°In that case, I¡¯m not the only person he reached out for help. Actually, they do know each other and it¡¯s only natural for him to ask as many people for help as possible ...¡±

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao¡¯s pupils constricted together as a glint shed across his eyes, ¡°This is bad. If they are also here to save Xiao Ming, this willpromise my mission¡¯s sess. I cannot let them seed!¡±

    A muscle in his jaw twitched as his mouth set in a hard line. Zhao Yao had never expected to meet apetitor here.

    Priest Yang was somewhat taken aback when he noticed Zhao Yao staring at him with a pair of vicious eyes.

    With his eyes glued on Priest Yang, Zhao Yao concluded, ¡°I cannot allow this stupid man steal the reward from under my nose.¡±

    With the thought lingering in his head, he slid Priest Yang another re of contempt until he left.

    Zhao Yao proceeded to Master Mao next. As expected, he was also here at Xiao Ming¡¯s behest.

    Simrly, Zhao Yao slid Master Mao a long hard re before taking his leave.

    Soon after, Master Mao met Priest Yang at the corner of the room and began to discuss Zhao Yao¡¯s somewhat baffling behavior at lengths.

    ¡°Just ignore him. Anyway, he is simply a pawn that we are sacrificing for the greater good. The key lies in the carefully selected apostles that were going to sneak into the ce.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s true. I truly hope that they can sessfully collect some useful information.¡±

    These two sly brats had never pinned much hope on Zhao Yao¡¯s abilities. They simply regarded him as a cannon fodder to distract the enemies from their opponents. Zhao Yao¡¯s eventual sacrifice was all part of the n.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes remained glued to these two men as he whispered to himself, ¡± Porn Tsunami 1 , Porn Tsunami, Porn Tsunami ...¡±

    A gleam shed across Master Mao¡¯s eyes in the midst of his discussion with Priest Yang.

    Even though he was looking at Priest Yang, a series of provocative and tempting images started to flood his mind. He felt the blood rushing through his body, charging towards his groin as a throbbing sensation erupted.

    ¡°How can this happen ...¡± Sweat started beading his forehead as his heart pounded furiously against his chest, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that I¡¯m ...¡±

    He bent his body forward in an attempt to conceal the embarrassing protrusion.

    He broke out in a series of awardughs before exining, ¡°D*mn it. It¡¯s that stupid tummy ache again.¡±

    Priest Yang was genuinely concerned about him and immediately approached him and asked, ¡°Are you okay? Is it because of the lunch?¡±

    Just when Master Mao wasing up with an excuse to hide the truth, the intensity of the images grew ten-fold in his head. He could literally feel every ounce of blood in his body charged towards that one single point.

    He even had to take in a deep breath to suppress this peculiar sensation. Initially, he was still bent on escaping this awkward situation but dismissed the thought the moment the images turned more vivid and erotic ...

    Out of concern, Priest Yang swung Master Mao¡¯s arms over his own shoulders to support him andmented, ¡°Are you sure you are okay? You look like you are in extreme pain.¡±

    When Master Mao was about to open his mouth, a soft gushing sound rang in his ears. It was like a sea of water being forced through a tiny creek. Immediately, his eyes began blinking non-stop as his lips parted slightly.

    Priest Yang¡¯s brows locked together as he asked, ¡°What¡¯s that smell? Why does it smell so fishy?¡±

    Priest Yang¡¯s voice triggered Master Mao to defend himself but he then realized that he was still trapped in his immoral illusions.

    Pssss! Psss!

    Master Mao¡¯s physical health left Zhao Yao all amazed as he muttered, ¡°No wonder he is a master. He is still so fit and healthy at this ripe old age.¡±

    Priest Yang noticed the residue of Master Mao¡¯s actions on his shirt and immediately pushed him away. With anger roaring through his body, Priest Yang eximed, ¡°You stupid old man! How dare you try to take advantage of me!¡± This was the first time he had ever found himself in such a situation which exined this unprecedented anger.

    However, Master Mao seemedpletely indifferent to Priest Yang¡¯s outburst and simply copsed to the floor with his bodypletely depleted of energy. He struggled to open his mouth before saying,¡± Never mind. Never mind. Can someone pass me a cigarette?¡±

    Just when Priest Yang was about to exact his revenge, he felt a weird sensation erupting from his groin. He could not understand what was happening and muttered, ¡°What the hell.¡±

    Ten minuteste, both Priest Yang and Master Mao were lying on the floor with their faces next to one another. Both were still as fit as a bull as they stared at each other with a pair of seductive eyes.

    Sonia was disgusted by this appalling sight and murmured, ¡°Perverts.¡±

    Priest Yang tried his best to suppress the throbbing sensations as he ordered, ¡°The reconnaissance mission shallmence tomorrow. Daniel Wu, you will be the first to enter the ce. From there, Sonia and team shall find an opportunity to sneak in ...¡±

    Zhao Yao slid Sonia a nce before cocking his head back towards Priest Yang. He had never expected her to be part of the reconnaissance team. This mission was no child¡¯s y, any mistake might spell certain death. Judging from this, Zhao Yao concluded that Sonia shared quite an intimate bond with her sister.

    After rying theirst instructions, both Priest Yang and Master Mao retreated to their bedroom on ount of their throbbing headaches. They had delegated the remaining responsibilities of the mission to their subordinates.

    Meanwhile, a sly grin appeared on Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he took a nce at his mission panel.

    If he managed toplete this mission, he would instantly bag 5000 to 6000 experience points. His only worry would be to choose which cat to upgrade.

    Basked in the cool moonlight, Tiger began typing a string of words on WeChat, ¡°How long more?¡±

    Zhao Yao let out a long sigh when he noticed that irritating text before replying, ¡°Soon.¡±

    Tiger¡¯s templed throbbed with fury when he saw that nonchnt reply, ¡°B*stard.¡±

    Zhao Yao made his way towards his objective amongst a chorus of goodbyes the second morning. He could not wait to put an end to this mission.

    When he was about to leave, Sonia even pulled him to one side and rified, ¡°I¡¯m the one who brought you here but I never force you to do anything dangerous.¡±

    Her brows were tightly knitted together as she spoke in an extremely solemn tone, ¡°Remember toply to all their instructions. Do not do anything stupid. Do not go against them. Safeguarding your life is your number one priority ...¡±

    She finally released Zhao Yao¡¯s arms after reminding him an entire list of to-dos. However, she could not help but sigh as she watched his shadow disappeared into the crowd as a tinge of regret tugged at her.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao waspletely indifferent to her words. With a beaming smile stered on his face, he started making his way to his destination.

    Before even reaching the district, he observed a truck stop by the road with cries and screamsing from it.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyebrow shot up as he looked towards the source of themotion. Instinctively, he instructed, ¡°Roly Poly, turn yourself and the cat bag invisible.¡±

    At the same time, Zhao Yao angled his head towards the opening of the cat bag before vomiting a supercat from his belly into it.

    Ares suddenly found himself being squashed in cat bag with Roly Poly¡¯s fats squeezing against his cheeks.

    Ares simmered with anger and shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao! What¡¯s wrong with you? Why did you have to call me out at this time? Don¡¯t you know how busy I am?¡±

    Zhao Yao noticed the strands of snow white fur dangling from the corner of his lips and answered nonchntly ¡°Weren¡¯t you just trying to take advantage of Catherine while she was resting? Alright, just help me out this time around and I¡¯ll reward you with moreputer games.¡±

    Ares¡¯s screams turned into cries as he continued, ¡°But I wanna f*ck Catherine! I don¡¯t want any of your stupidputer games!¡±

    Zhao Yao listened to Ares¡¯sints before shaking his head in despair, ¡°That is the problem with you virgins. All you have inside your head is your stupid bitches. How can a female cat everpare with aputer game? You can y the games for hours but can you do the same to a bitch? Let me share with you the sad truth. At the end of the day, you will realize thatputer games are still your bestpanion.¡±

    Naturally, Ares did not believe a single word Zhao Yao uttered. Daggers continued shooting out of his eyes as he stared at Zhao Yao viscously. Sensing that any struggles were simply futile, Ares finally stopped before whispering, ¡°Scumbag.¡±

    Meanwhile, Roly Poly was trying his best to conceal his smile, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this horny cat to be fantasizing about Catherine. I guess it¡¯s time to inform my father-inw.¡± He then proceeded to turn the cat bag, Ares and himself invisible.

    Zhao Yao slid Ares a nce before instructing, ¡°Envelop us within your deflective field. Remember, you must use it to repel superpowers.¡±

    Other than repelling physical objects, Ares had long acquired the ability to repel superpower since his time with Ho Hao Cang, which exined how he deflected Elizabeth¡¯s illusion.

    This ability would serve as Zhao Yao¡¯s primary line of defense as he entered Chuan Xiao District, preventing any sneak attacks.

    With everything all ready, Zhao Yao approached the suspicious vehicle, brimming with confidence.

    What he saw when he reached the truck appalled him. A middle-aged man was lying motionlessly in a puddle of blood. Beside him stood a little girl who was screaming at the top of her voice as beads of tears rolled down her cheeks. Ady wrapped her arms around the driver¡¯s calf as she screamed, ¡°Do not leave! Don¡¯t even try to leave! We still have to support our elderly parents and three-year-old child! You killed our family¡¯s sole breadwinner! How could you!¡±

    Just when Zhao Yao thought that this was just another horrific traffic ident, the driver spoke, ¡°Hey, do not worry. I can save your husband.¡±

    ¡°You liar! Just take a look at him! He is not even breathing! How do you n to save him!¡±

    ¡°Do not worry. I have specially brought a bottle of magical water all the way from my hometown. This water was incorporated with the essence of Earth and the elixir of life. By brewing it for 10,000 consecutive days, it can achieve miracles. I heard that it has even won the Nobel Prize.¡± As he spoke, he whipped out the tiny bottle from his pocket before dangling it in her eyes, ¡°I¡¯m telling you, just one drop can revive the dead from the underworld.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡±

    ¡°Of course it¡¯s real! Do you know Wang Jin from the neighboring district? A month ago, he was fatally wounded by a series of stabs puncturing his vitals. However, one drop of this miracle water revived him instantly. He could even enjoy some good time with his wifeter that night ...¡±

    ¡°Then what are you waiting for? Quickly use it on my husband!¡±

    The driver carefully bent forward before cautiously pouring a drop of miracle water into his mouth. The man sprang to his feet the moment the water touched his lips. He even began to jump up and down as he screamed, ¡°I¡¯m fine! I¡¯m alive! I¡¯m alive!¡±

    Zhao Yao had already noticed the slight movements of his chest when he was ¡®dead¡¯. His acute sense of smell had already detected the ketchup in the ¡®blood¡¯. All this time, the four of them would constantly slid Zhao Yao a nce to see his response. Zhao Yao knew something was amiss and quickly left the ce.

    With his keen sense of awareness, he noticed the couple and the driver hot on his heels as he made his escape. They continued to sing praises, ¡°This miracle water is truly divine! It can even save a dead man from hell!¡±

    ¡°Where can I buy this miracle water?¡±

    ¡°Today is your lucky day. Actually, I bought this bottle to save my father-inw. However, its effects will wear off within three days the moment it is opened. I will go ask for another bottle. Hmph, as for this bottle, I¡¯ll just sell it to you at a cheaper price.¡±

    Zhao Yao quickened his pace in an attempt to shake off his stalkers. The woman¡¯s brisk walk turned into a jog before culminating in a run as her chest rose and fell with rapid breaths, ¡°How much are you charging that bottle for?¡±

    ¡°500!¡± The driver was also gasping for breath as he eximed, ¡°500 is the cheapest price you¡¯ll ever find.¡±

    However, Zhao Yao¡¯s n seeded as he managed to shake those irksome individuals off. The three of them finally gave up as they struggled to catch their breath, ¡°How is he so fast?¡±

    The woman cocked her head around and noticed the small girl licking the squashed tomatoes off the ground and scolded her, ¡°What the hell are you doing? Get up! Now! Do you know how much these tomatoes cost?¡±

    The man, acting as the ¡®dead¡¯ husband, stared at his palms and muttered, ¡°Why wasn¡¯t he tricked? My performance was already Oscar-worthy.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s something wrong with his head. We shall just wait for the next target. As long as we managed to raise the RMB 5,000, Old Cat will take us in as disciples!¡±

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao noticed a man drenched in ketchup charging from the corner of his eyes. He sprinted towards Zhao Yao with his finger pointing at a bag lying in front of Zhao Yao, ¡°Water ... help ... help me ...¡±

    Zoom! Zhao Yao took a step forward before vanishing into thin air.

    ¡°D*mn it, what¡¯s wrong with all these people?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyebrows were tightly knitted together as he mumbled, ¡°Didn¡¯t they say that the apostles were captured the moment they enter this ce? Don¡¯t tell me they were cheated of all their money and were forced to scam others? But that doesn¡¯t make sense. Their acting was so bad.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s journey towards Chuan Xiao District was a tumultuous one. He had to evade a suicidal man, a beggar and even a lunatic.

    Finally, he had reached the peak of the hill as his eyes descended on the rows of houses below which looked like tiny Lego bricks, ¡°This ce seems rather busy. There must be quite a sizable poption living here.¡±

    With a great leap, Zhao Yao had sprung from the top of the hill before slowly descending at the entrance of the district. With a radiant smile stered on his face, he began making his way into the district without a shred of fear or worry.

    The moment he set foot inside his objective, he immediately noticed a little girl tripped by the uneven road as she came crashing to the ground.

    Instinctively, Zhao Yao sped forward and cushioned her fall. The little girl reciprocated Zhao Yao¡¯s kind gesture with a wide grin and said,¡± Thanks!¡±

    Her innocent and bright smile caused Zhao Yao to let his guard down, ¡°This looks like a rather ordinary district. I guess a child¡¯s heart can never be tainted by this vile world. Maybe, I should try getting some information from her.¡±

    At the next moment, the young girl grabbed a bottle of water from her bag before thrusting it to Zhao Yao, ¡°Big Brother, thank you for helping me!¡±

    Zhao Yao noticed the two words ¨C Miracle Water ¨C printed on the bottle. This was the exact item everyone was trying to sell to him. Zhao Yao let out a sigh of despair before releasing the girl from his grip. The little girl only noticed a shadow shed across her eyes before she found herself back in her original position. She looked to the left and right with a face of confusion.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao had already reached the center of the district. He soon realized that he wasn¡¯t the only foreigner here. He noticed many ordinary people prying for news regarding the supposed miracle water.

    However, the vigers slid him an extremely weird expression...

    With his forehead creased together, Zhao Yao muttered, ¡°Why does this expression seem so familiar? It¡¯s such a perverted look.¡±

    Roly Poly curled his lips in disgust and whispered to himself, ¡°That¡¯s the look that you give others when you look at them.¡±

 Chapter 339: What A Fool!

    <h4>Chapter 339: What A Fool!</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    ¡°What a drag. The only thing that they know is to promote their stupid miracle water and scam innocents! I can¡¯t possibly extract any useful information out of them.¡± Zhao Yao held on to a thin strand of hope as he went around asking for information. Instead, he was greeted with res and condescending nces.

    Zhao Yao swept his head around and noticed two middle-aged men with their heads lowered as they pretended like ordinary passers-by. Zhao Yao had already noticed their presence since 10 minutes ago. They were tantly stalking him all this while.

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao¡¯s ears gave a slight shudder as he made out a distinct conversation amongst the white noise.

    ¡°Have you seen that fool?¡±

    ¡°Which one are you talking about?¡±

    ¡°The one who has been walking around and yet refuse to buy anything. One look at him and I already know that he is a fool.¡±

    Disappointment sagged through Zhao Yao as those hurtful words pierced his heart, ¡°Which a*shole is scolding me behind my back?¡± Cocking his head sideways, he saw four cats lying on the top of an orange-bricked wall as they dangled their paws in Zhao Yao¡¯s direction.

    Evidently, these cats were clueless that Zhao Yao could understand every single word they uttered which exined their impudent behavior.

    A maroon Dragon Li slid Zhao Yao a derisive re before continuing, ¡°Everyone, take a good look. If you want to scam, always look out for fools like him. Now, open your eyes and watch the expert do it. With this skill, you will not starve for the rest of your life.¡±

    The remaining cats nodded their heads in admiration as the maroon Dragon Li gracefully leaped towards Zhao Yao¡¯s calf. His first strategy was to rub his furry body against Zhao Yao.

    A contemptuous smile appeared on his face as he muttered, ¡°Can you guys see? The majority of humans will simply sumb to my cuteness and affection. They won¡¯t even bear to take one step away from me.¡±

    ¡°Hmph!¡± The cat¡¯s speech was like God¡¯s words as the rest nodded their head violently.

    The thought of brushing this obnoxious cat away crossed Zhao Yao¡¯s mind as his lips curled in disgust.

    Suddenly, the orange Dragon Li copsed to the ground with his belly facing skyward as he broke out in a series of meows.

    ¡°Look closely. Remember to maintain eye contact to exert some sort of pressure on the human. Swing your paws gently and prepare for your next move. Sticking your tongue out can also add a few bonus points.¡±

    ¡°Take a look! He is already squatting next to me. This is half the battle won!¡±

    ¡°From then on, I will simply lure him to the shop ...¡±

    Halfway through his grandiose speech, Zhao Yao had already grabbed him by the neck before disappearing into the corner of the street, leaving the three remaining cats dumbfounded.

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know! Are we supposed to catch up with him?¡±

    One of the cats stretched his paw out and stopped the rest from acting, ¡°Don¡¯t you understand? This is all part of the n! Now, our master will receive months of free lodging, food, and water without working at all! He will return when he is sick of that sedentary lifestyle!¡±

    Meanwhile, the two middle-aged men immediately gave chase the moment they noticed Zhao Yao¡¯s disappearance. However, they could not find him despitebing through the entire area.

    Actually, Zhao Yao had already brought the irksome Dragon Li to a secluded corner of the district before summoning Dust Ball out. Bybining Dust Ball and Elizabeth¡¯s power, he had sessfully tricked the Dragon Li into his belly.

    When the Dargon Li regained consciousness, he found himself in a mysterious ce with a gang of cats surrounding him. That same man stood amongst the cats as he stared viciously at him.

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°Where am I?¡±

    ¡°Who are you?¡±

    Zhao Yao gave a mirthlessugh before replying, ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about that. It¡¯s my turn to ask the questions. You might or might not leave this ce depending on your answer.¡±

    The cat seemed indifferent to Zhao Yao¡¯s words and simply raised his shoulders in a half shrug before saying, ¡°I have no idea who you are, but I suggest you let me go if you don¡¯t want Chuan Xiao District hunting you down.¡±

    ¡°I guess I¡¯m left with no choice.¡±

    The Dragon Li never expected this man to defy his words as he eximed, ¡°Wait, you can talk to me ...¡± An ear-splitting shriek had already interrupted him before he could finish his sentence.

    Following the scream, the Dragon Li noticed an American Shorthair dragging Lucifer out from the corner of his eyes. A trail of blood followed closely behind Lucifer¡¯s lifeless body.

    Lucifer¡¯s body was covered in scratches, bruises, and every possible wound. However, a sly grin remained on his face despite the severity of his injuries.

    A shiver ran down the Dragon Li¡¯s spine when he saw this astonishing scene. His heart pounded rapidly against his chest as he muttered, ¡°What is this!¡±

    Suddenly, another ear-splitting shriek punctured the silence as the Dragon Li swept his head towards Gaia, who had both his paws mmed against the keyboard. He began screaming at the top of his voice, ¡°Let me y one more round! Just one more minute!¡±

    Bao Zi and Sausage grabbed each of his limbs before dragging him down, ¡°Get down now!¡±

    ¡°Both of you, get lost.¡± With bolts of electricity shimmering in his fingertips, Uncle Egg had reached his paw towards Gaia before pressing his index finger against his forehead.

    ¡°Alright, bring him away.¡±

    One jolt of electricity instantly knocked Gaia unconscious as he began foaming at his mouth while his body shuddered violently. Bao Zi and Sausage immediately ran over to bring him away.

    The Dragon Li¡¯s jaw went ck as he observed these scenes. Panic assailed him while fear paralyzed his body. His eyes were glued to Zhao Yao as he gestured towards the Sphynx Cat trapped within the cage, ¡°Do you see that one over there? He was rather naughty when he first got here, but he improved after I ripped off every single strand of fur from his body.¡±

    Zhao Yao said all these while maintaining the genial smile. In the cat¡¯s eyes, this was the smile of the devil! Fear hit him like icy water as his body began trembling. He even began to shed his fur as the entire ground was coated with maroon fur.

    Zhao Yao nodded his head contentedly at this sight. He only brought the cat here to collect some useful intel about the ce. A cat was still an easier target than most humans.

    With all the preparation workspleted, Zhao Yao opened his mouth and asked, ¡°Tell me your name.¡±

    The Dragon Li struggled to open his mouth before replying, ¡°Zhao Si.¡±

    ¡°Zhao Si, I have already gained a basic understanding of the situation within Chuan Xiao District. I know that you are a smart cat so I am offering you a wonderful opportunity to cooperate with us. Tell me, what do you know about this ce.¡±

    With his head buried in his chest, Zhao Si told Zhao Yao the entire story, ¡°Everything is controlled by Old Cat. We are just pawns in his eyes, forced to do whatever dirty job he wants us to. We cannot afford to rebel against him ...¡±

    Based on his description, Chuan Xiao District used to be your ordinary, run off the mill vige until the day supercats were awakened. From then on, everything changed.

    Firstly, it was Old Cat. He was the oldest cat in the vige and was brought up by an elderly man. ording to rumors, he was even older than Zhao Si¡¯s grandfather¡¯s grandfather. At least half of the cats in the vige were rted to him by blood.

    Since awakening, he had been abusing his power to cheat every one of their money.

    However, there was a finite amount of money to scam in small viges like this. Hence, Old Cat began to dispatch his subordinates out to lure more people in. His tactics ranged from phone scams to inte scams as throngs of supercats and apostles fell into his trap.

    With Chuan Xiao District at his fingertips, the entire district had turned into a huge fraudulent organization. Everyone was forced to scam people in order to appease Old Cat.

    After listening to what was said, Zhao Yao finally briefly understood the happenings of Chuan Xiao District. He was suddenly reminded of a matter and asked, ¡°Oh right, what¡¯s the ability of the Old Cat?¡±

    ¡°I... I don¡¯t know, no one knows.¡± Zhao Si immediately replied.

    ¡°Don¡¯t know?¡± Zhao Yao raised his eyebrows and with the extension of his hand, Lucifer who was a distance away flew over, and the impact of his fistnded on its face resulting in a face full of blood. He was swung onto the ground in front of Zhao Si like a broken doll with blood spilled onto Zhao Si¡¯s legs.

    Lucifer suffered from spasms throughout its body, with a deep thought, ¡°That¡¯s amazing.¡±

    However, the scene yed out in front of Zhao Si was overly frightening, he shrieked and shuddered as he spoke, ¡°I really don¡¯t know, we just know that when we appear in front of Old Cat, you will follow what he instructs.¡±

    ¡°Yes? You are dishonest.¡± With a glint in his eye, his legnded on Lucifer¡¯s buttocks and with a kick, Lucifernded right in front of Zhao Si with the thought, ¡°Scare him to death!¡±

    Lucifer hugged Zhao Si¡¯s leg in distress and screamed, ¡°Ow! I¡¯m in so much pain, my waist is broken. I¡¯m going to die! Going to die!¡±

    ¡°No... Don¡¯te over!¡± Zhao Si shuddered with fear but Lucifer continued hugging his leg and shrieked, ¡°I¡¯m so poor thing! I¡¯m going to die! Before I die, I¡¯m going to pee on your leg!¡±

    ¡°Ah, don¡¯t pee!¡± Zhao Si shouted hysterically, ¡°Don¡¯t leave a dead cat¡¯s pee on my leg!¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the half-dead expression and was happy deep-down, in addition, the wounds of Lucifer have already healed up. He grabbed him back and coldly said, ¡°I give you onest chance, you tell me what is Old Cat¡¯s ability, if not, you will end up like it.¡±

    On the side, Lucifer shouted, ¡°Ah! I¡¯m dying!¡± In the next moment, its eyes rolled as it copsed on the floor without any more movement. This scared Zhao Si speechless.

    Zhao Si screamed in his heart, ¡°I have long heard rumors that a lot of perverts like to torture cats, so it¡¯s true! Damn it, why do I have to face this.¡±

    Upon seeing the re in Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes bing more aggressive, Zhao Si stuttered, ¡°But... I... I... I really don¡¯t know, why don¡¯t I tell you Old Cat¡¯s bank ount number and password?¡±

    Ares who was standing on the side fumed, ¡°Who do you think we are, of course not...¡±

    But once he opened his mouth, Zhao Yao gave him a p as he looked sternly at Zhao Si, ¡°Who do you think we are? Forget about the bank, did Old Cat hide any cash?¡±

    Zhao Si was taken aback for a moment and instantly replied in the next moment, ¡°Have, Old Cat loves cash. I have heard he hides them in a cave with an insurmountable amount of money. A big truck couldn¡¯t even contain them.¡±

    Upon hearing this news, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes shone and turned emotional, this was to alleviate the poor by robbing the rich and then, there¡¯s no need to worry about the future.

    At this moment, when Zhao Yao wasn¡¯t aware, the slouching and spiritless swindler cat, Red Packet, suddenly lifted his head, its eyes glistening as he looked at Zhao Si.

    Zhao Si noticed the gaze in his direction and looked at Rec Packet and asked, ¡°You... You... You are Red Packet?¡±

    ¡°Yes, Zhao Si, haven¡¯t seen you in some time. I didn¡¯t think you would havended up in this state.¡±

    Zhao Si rebutted, ¡°You are living in a cage that you can¡¯t even turn your body in, what right do you have to speak about me?¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± Red Packet replied coldly, ¡°With a knot in my heart, the world outside to me is just a bigger cage?¡±

    ¡°Knot in your heart?¡± Zhao Si was curious, ¡°What¡¯s the knot?¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± Red Packet turned around, with a voice filled with dejection, ¡°I forgot the password for my bank ount in the Swiss Bank.¡± With that, he lowered his head and continued trying to recall the password.

    Zhao Yao saw the view of Red Packet¡¯s back and pitied it, but felt that he was more pitiful ¡°I really forgot the password for my Swiss Bank ount?¡±

    Yes, it was indeed him, after all, possessions of cats from the house belonged to him too. Since when did family distinguish their possessions. They are family and hence, shared each other¡¯s sorrows.

    But he still had to ask what he wanted to, Zhao Yao turned and looked at Zhao Si before

    asking, ¡°How did you know Red Packet? What¡¯s your rtionship with him?¡±

    Zhao Si replied honestly, ¡°Red Packet is our second level agent, we had shipped a lot of divine water to Jiangmen City, Red Packet helped use to sell them.¡±

    He looked respectfully at Red Packet and said, ¡°He¡¯s the only one who didn¡¯t need to bring people to the Shaw Township to sell off his items. A lot of female cats wished to have a baby with him to move to the city.¡±

    ¡°Okay, done with that, what¡¯s Old Cat¡¯s ability.¡±

    Zhao Si hurriedly replied, ¡°I really don¡¯t know.¡±

    ¡°Then where is Old Cat hiding the money?¡±

    ¡°This... How would I know?¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed, ¡°You don¡¯t know this nor that. What¡¯s the point of having you?¡±

    Red Packet suddenly lifted his head and said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid he really wouldn¡¯t know. Old Cat is a sly fox, probably only he himself knows his ability and where he is hiding his cash.¡±

    Zhao Si violently nodded his head and said, ¡°Yes, only Old Cat knows. We really don¡¯t know.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head and asked, ¡°Then do you know what does Old Cat usually do?

    What¡¯s his usual schedule and where does he usually hang out?¡±

    Following which, Zhao Yao continued questioning Zhao Si about the happenings of Chuan Xiao District and tried to find out about the victims.

    ¡°Here, this is the one,¡± Zhao Yao raised his phone which contained a picture of Xiao Ming. ¡°Have you seen a picture of this person?¡±

    ¡°This...¡± Zhao Si was frustrated, ¡°You people all look about the same.¡±

    ¡°About the same?¡± Zhao Yao pointed at his face in disbelief, ¡°You think that we look alike?¡±

    ¡°Um...¡± Zhao Si wiped the sweat on his forehead and replied, ¡°I¡¯m really blind to your looks. I distinguish people by the difference in the smell of your feces.¡±

    Zhao Yao nted his mouth and decided to give up pursuing this question and asked, ¡°For those that you have swindled, where do you keep them?¡±

    Zhao Si scratched his head and said, ¡°Let me think, I remember...¡±

    Then Zhao Yao asked how did Chuan Xiao District handle those that were locked up.

    After he finished asking all the questions, Zhao Si copsed onto the floor. He had never felt so lethargic before.

    Zhao Yao rubbed his chin and began to ponder what he was going to do next.

    ¡°Collecting intelligence while saving people, and ultimately eliminating Old Cat, finishing all my tasks in one breath.¡±

    At this moment, Lucifer who was lying at the side couldn¡¯t resist anymore, ¡°Are we done?¡±

    Zhao Yao tapped his forehead and said, ¡°Yes, enough.¡±

    Zhao Si saw Lucifer who was covered in blood crawled back up, he was immediately frightened and let out a hysterical scream.

    Rakshasa who was on one side did not care about Zhao Si¡¯s screaming and poured a pail of water onto Lucifer to wash away the blood on his body.

    Zhao Si was shocked as he watched, ¡°You cheated me?¡± But he violently shook his head at the next moment, previously the distance between Lucifer and him was so near, he clearly saw the wounds on his body. After being in Chuan Xiao District for such a long time, he understood that definitely wasn¡¯t fake.

    At the next moment, Zhao Si was even more shocked, ¡°You all have the real holy water of hope? Revival bone for the dead cat?¡±

    Zhao Yao ignored him and looked at Red Packet.

    Red Packet spoke to Zhao Yao in his heart, ¡°Hng, you wish to save people from Chuan Xiao District? Bring me along, you can¡¯t do it alone.¡±

    Zhao Yao grinned, the Fortune Cat finally spoke. He couldn¡¯t help himself and ced his hand into the cage and wished to stroke his chin but Red Packet went to bite him.

    After avoiding the bite, Zhao Yao said, ¡°You wish toe out? You tell me what¡¯s your ability first then.¡±

    ¡°Hng,¡± Red Packet didn¡¯t reveal his ability but said, ¡°You wish to save people? You think that by shouting out that those in Chun Xiao District are all swindlers or by revealing their trickery, people will follow you back?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes glistened. He kind of understood what Red Packet meant. In reality, the techniques used by many of the swindlers were not brilliant, but victims were still convinced by them and would still back the swindlers even when you exposed them.

    It didn¡¯t mean that they didn¡¯t know it was a scam, but they had already sunk too deep and lost too much and they couldn¡¯t resign to the fate that they lost everything, to ask them to give up was too difficult.

    It wasn¡¯t possible to just use force to knock them unconscious and carry them away. With so many people, Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t fight.

    Zhao Yao thought for a moment, he looked at Red Packet and said, ¡°Can you convince them toe with me?¡±

    Red Packet smiled, ¡°Hng, after all, I have my way and I know Old Cat, if you bring me along, you can avoid a battle.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head after looking at Red Packet trying his best to prove his worth. Actually, he believed that he could still aplish his mission without Red Packet¡¯s help. It was just slightly more troublesome.

    Wouldn¡¯t the victims leave? Just knock them out and bring them along.

    There were too many people to bring out? Then knock out the poption of Chun Xiao District and he could bring them out without any worries.

    But it was rare that Red Packet interacted with him, Zhao Yao definitely was willing to bring him along to y.

    ¡°Even though he is just a Fortune Cat, he is still a cat, by bringing him out to y, he will befortable with me in a shorter period of time right?¡±

    Zhao Yao had long wanted to befortable with Red Packet to utilize his ability. This mission to Chun Xiao District would provide an opportunity for him to do so.

    Thinking up till here, he asked yfully, ¡°What are you nning to do?¡±

    ...

    On the hillside of Chuan Xiao District, Sonia slowly put down her binocrs and frowned, ¡°Why are there still no movements?¡±

    A teenager who was standing at the side with a pale face smiled and said, ¡°Maybe he is hiding in fear, or he has been captured already?¡± He briefly looked at the scenery before ncing at Sonia. Who knew that he could have met such a beauty in a ravine.

    Facing the teenager¡¯s scorching gaze, Sonia smiled bashfully.

    This pale looking teenager was also an apostle and he was said to be from the biggest group from the South, Ivory. It was said that there were many powerful men and had many links with the government. Their ability and background were immeasurable.

    As a matter of fact, Zhao Yao had already met in Ivory in Jiangmen City a few months back. Sun Meng, Nessie and the rest received instructions from the leader of Ivory, God of Death.

    Sonia had only heard about the existence of Ivory and hence had immense respect for the pale looking teenager.

    Sighting the conditions of the district, Sonia sighed, ¡°I think he wasn¡¯t sessful, so what do you think we should do now Mr. Li?¡±

    The pale looking teenager who was referred to as Mr. Li grinned and said, ¡°Sonia, you can just address me as Li Tian, there¡¯s no need for formalities.¡± He looked down at the district and said with brimming confidence, ¡°What type of impressive cat would exist in this type of ravine? We should just enter, confirm the ability of that old cat and we can just casually settle him.¡±

    ...

    Tiger was covered in a big jacket and frequently coughed, his face was filled with bitterness. He waited till midnight yesterday and endured through several hours of cold. He caught a flu but still didn¡¯t managed to meet the person who came to meet Xiao Ming.

    ¡°Scum, don¡¯t let me catch this guy.¡± Tiger clenched his teeth and thought.

    At this moment, a medium-sized child rushed out and shouted, ¡°Brother Tiger, Red Packet is here, he brought a guest.¡±

    ¡°Red Packet? Wasn¡¯t he captured?¡± Tiger frowned and said, ¡°Bring them here.¡±

    Not long after, Zhao Yao followed Red Packet in with a few burly men looking at them with hostility.

    Tiger saw Red Packet standing in front of him and squinted, ¡°Red Packet, weren¡¯t you caught by the police of Jiangmen City? Were you released? Are you trying to be a spy?¡± While he was speaking, he threw a cell phone at Red Packet.

    Red Packet picked up the phone and typed, he stared at Tiger and said, ¡°Hng, you don¡¯t believe me? Bring Old Cat here, I want to talk to him.¡±

    ¡°Hehe, you don¡¯t have anything now, you¡¯re broke and you want to speak to Old Cat?¡± Tiger shook his head, ¡°Go to ss first to learn. Bring them away!¡±

    Red Packet¡¯s cell phone was taken away and he was wrapped up. He panicked and screamed, ¡°What are you doing! Release me!¡±

    ¡°I helped Chuan Xiao District swindled money.¡±

    ¡°Without me, don¡¯t you think of ever recruiting people from Jiangmen City!¡±

    But the burly men didn¡¯t care, Zhao Yao onlyughed at this scene. He was soon stared at by the others and few of the men came over to surround him.

    Zhao Yao immediately said, ¡°Are you all bringing me to retrieve the holy water of hope?¡±

    All of them were stunned by his response, including Tiger. He pondered about Zhao Yao¡¯s reply and came to a conclusion that he too had been scammed by Red Packet

    How could he have fallen for this scam without Old Cat even using his power?

    Tiger deliberated and said, ¡°Yes, I shall bring you to where our miracle water is kept.¡±

    The man and the cat were swiftly brought to where the victims of Chun Xiao District were gathered, Hope Elementary School.

    Zhao Yao happily looked at the surrounding crowd. He quickly identified a few targets and became happier.

    Red Packet was extremely unhappy and pulled a long face. The n was for him to utilize Old Cat to escape and send Zhao Yao in. However, he somehow got himself involved in this entire saga.

    Hope Elementary School had already stopped sses for a period of time. Now, the ssrooms from the first to fourth floors were used to contain the scammers and their victims. There were old, young, males and females, almost all of them were swindled here.

    Zhao Yao was brought to the front of a ssroom on the first floor and saw that a ss was still ongoing. An old man with a face full of wrinkles was standing on the stage. He was speaking with a thick ent as he introduced the uses of miracle water, the method to join him and allocation of profits...

    The old man pointed at a few lines of huge words on the ckboard and said, ¡°What¡¯s the biggest influence on older people? Swindlers and friends. As long as we upy these two avenues, it would mean a huge market with limitless potential is open to us.

    But remember, we are not real swindlers, we are just making use of the opportunity.¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at the audience and saw hundreds of people squeezing inside the tiny ssroom to listen to him. More than half of them were elderly and many of them were still taking notes.

    Zhao Yao frowned slightly and thought in his heart, ¡°Your publicity is done so well.¡±

    Seeing Zhao Yao and Red Packet being escorted in, the old man on the stage asked, ¡°A cat with special abilities and an apostle?¡±

    The escort replied, ¡°One cat with special abilities, but the one here seems to be an ordinary guy.¡±

    The old man nodded his head, ¡°Bring the cat to the second floor, leave the man here.¡±

    The burly man gave Zhao Yao a shove and said, ¡°You stay here and learn.¡±

    On the journey here, Zhao Yao cooperated with them and hence the escorts did not think that he would resist, so they spoke and acted at will.

    However, when he reached where the people were kept, he naturally did not want Fortune Cat to leave his sight, he looked at the man who shoved him and immediately said, ¡°The cat follows me wherever I go, don¡¯t even think of taking him away from me.¡±

    The guys around startedughing and one of them pointed to his head, ¡°Are you dumb?¡±

    Some of the people in the ssroom revealed expressions of pity. It wasn¡¯t possible that there wasn¡¯t an emergence of resistance in Chuan Xiao District.

    Every few months, some will suddenly realize and want to revolt or escape. There were some that would only realize when they arrived here and tried to escape immediately.

    But Old Cat managed Chun Xiao District like a propaganda school. The thousands of people were all immersed in the madness of cultivating fortunes for themselves.

    Under this circumstance, even when armed police enter, they probably could not even bring anyone out.

    There would be residents going on patrol and watching thepound every day and night. Those that wanted to escape would be captured and beaten, after which they would be starved for days.

    It was easy to be backstabbed and exposed by others, hence even fewer people dared to attempt to escape. Even those that were aware of the absurdity of the entire situation could only keep their mouth shut.

    Hence, when they saw Zhao Yao¡¯s refusal to obey, they revealed that expression as they thought he was going to be punished.

    However, at the next moment, a deflective field erupted as the surrounding burly men flew back and screamed in pain.

    The old speaker on the stage and the audience were shocked, ¡°Apostle?¡±

    After arriving at Chuan Xiao District for some time, they had naturally experienced the powers of an apostle. Zhao Yao¡¯s supernatural behavior could only be exined by that.

    But even if he was an apostle, it was useless. There were many apostles in Chuan Xiao District and which one of them wasn¡¯t subdued?

    Zhao Yao said regretfully, ¡°What are you doing, Ares? Did I ask you to act?¡±

    Ares replied, ¡°They scolded you while pointing at your head. Are you just going to let them disrespect you like that? Do you even have a shred of pride?¡±

    ¡°Sigh, all I¡¯ve done had been ruined by you.¡± Zhao Yao regretfully stared at the heads of the fallen men. As they were unconscious, the golden exmation marks on their heads gradually disappeared, Zhao Yao¡¯s attention shifted to the audience.

    The old speaker on the stage shouted, ¡°Don¡¯te over! Don¡¯t think that you¡¯re impressive, Chuan Xiao District¡¯s apostles will be here in a minute, you won¡¯t be arrogant for long.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Actually... I¡¯m here because I believe in miracle water.¡±

    The old man shot Zhao Yao a doubtful look.

    Zhao Yao rxed his shoulders and thought to himself, ¡°How am I going to continue from here?¡±

    Rescuing all the victims from this ce seemed like the next logical step. Zhao Yao took a look at the students and saw hostility in their eyes. At this moment, he knew that most of them wouldn¡¯t leave with him even if he spoke politely to them.

    To Zhao Yao, he¡¯s saving them, but to them, he was destroying their path to riches.

    Looking at this, the old man didn¡¯t continue speaking. He knew this apostle wasn¡¯t someone an ordinary person like him could confront. He watched from the side as he awaited the other apostles from the district to arrive.

    Red Packet also stood at the side and watched without making a single sound.

    Red Packet had been locked up for such a long time and he was clueless about the incident between Zhao Yao and the Headless Horseman. But he knew to defeat Old Cat in Chuan Xiao District was impossible, so heid down at the side and coldly watched Zhao Yao¡¯s performance.

    Zhao Yao slowly walked to the stage, coughed for a bit and spoke, ¡°Actually, all you have been scammed. There is no such thing as miracle water.¡±

    The audience exchanged a few nces but no one spoke. They just stared coldly at Zhao Yao.

    The old man who was presenting silentlyughed to himself. If a few words could expose the truth, he wouldn¡¯t be conducting the ss already.

    Zhao Yao expected that response. He ced a bottle and a knife on the stage which were retrieved from the extradimensional belly.

    ¡°Look here, this is the real miracle water that revives the dead.¡±

    ¡°We speak the truth and not cheat...¡±

    While speaking, Zhao Yao raised the knife and with a swift action, he chopped off his hand, fresh blood spurted out. The audience was stunned.

    ¡°All of you look carefully, my ability is psychokinesis. The joining back of my hand is all because of this miracle water¡±

    While speaking, he calmly raised the bottle and poured a few drops onto his hand, and attached his hand back on.

    in a blink of an eye, the wound healed perfectly. He waved his hand around nimbly and the crowd instantly eximed.

    The old man who was standing at the side was dazed at what took ce in front of him until Zhao Yao threw the knife in front of him.

    ¡°How? Why not you try it too? Let¡¯s see who has the real miracle water?¡±

    He looked at the knife and his arm but just could not force himself to do it. He lifted his head and looked at Zhao Yao. What kind of trauma did he go through to make him want to cut off his hand? How was he going to continue from here? Was he going to start each lesson by stabbing himself?

    Zhao Yao touched the spot where his arm was amputated, with a shiver running through his body. He felt a strong impulse to sh himself again.

    ¡°That¡¯s why people said that you would get addicted to shing others, I¡¯m already addicted to shing myself.¡±

    The chopping of his own hand was well-received. In the span of time of Zhao Yao¡¯s hand recovering fully, the audience¡¯s gaze changed.

    It was because that Zhao Yao¡¯s Holy Water of Hope seemed to have authentic healing powers. Secondly, Zhao Yao chopped off his own hand without any hesitation or flinching and hence was regarded as a true man.

    With his actions, his influence on the crowd rose steadily.

    With Lucifer¡¯s ability of quick healing, Zhao Yao felt good even with the wounds. He resisted himself from having another go with the knife as he stared at the old man, ¡°How? You don¡¯t dare to chop yourself? With that, you still dare to say your Holy Water of Hope is real?¡±

    The old man opened his mouth to rebut but no words came out and only managed to sh an expression of hatred at Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Did you see that?¡± Zhao Yao pointed at the old man, ¡°Their Holy Water of Hope isn¡¯t real but mine is because I¡¯m the inventor. Chuan Xiao District¡¯s people stole a little of mine.¡± He chopped himself again becausepleting his speech.

    Blood spurted like a fountain from his arm, sshing onto the first row of students.

    ¡°Oh, that¡¯sfortable.¡± Zhao Yao applied a bit of the water on his arm as he spoke and his arm recovered in a blink of an eye.

    He waved his knife and said, ¡°Everyone saw it! This is the Holy Water of Hope which I have painstakingly worked on for the past 20 years. Be it external wounds, fractures, cancer, AIDS, infertility, e or ringworm, this water can cure everything. What¡¯s this? This is an opportunity! An opening for you all to have a chance to change the world!¡±

    Zhao Yao stabbed himself thrice and fresh blood spurted out. This obtained the apuse of the crowd.

    ¡°Good!¡±

    ¡°One more time!¡±

    Zhao Yao raised his head and saw a few golden exmation marks. He immediately smiled and said, ¡°Look carefully, a clean knife will enter and one stained with blood wille out.¡±

    After the golden exmation marks disappeared, Zhao Yao continued, ¡°You have already missed out on stocks, properties and Taobao. Do you want to miss out on this today? This window of opportunity, poor people enter and exit wealthy. This Holy Water of Hope has the potential to eliminate the the world¡¯s medical industry. Today, you are a step ahead and you will be a step ahead in the future.¡±

    Seeing the hesitant looks of the crowd, Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°Seems like they still do not trust entirely.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Who want to try the Holy Water of Hope? You will have a life-changing medical experience.¡±

    It was exciting to witness Zhao Yao chopping himself up. But not everyone would be willing to do it onto themselves. Hence, the crowd revealed doubtful expressions.

    At this moment, continuous shouts resounded. A few tanned and muscr guys entered the ssroom. They pointed at Zhao Yao and scolded, ¡°Old Li, is this guy creating trouble?¡±

    Old Li who was speaking on stage eximed, ¡°ck skins, that¡¯s him!¡± These few people were Chuan Xiao District¡¯s apostles. Since they acquired their abilities, they acted like tyrants.

    A few cats with abilities were cheated into Chuan Xiao District. Their abilities were distributed to these apostles to make them stronger. They always fended off apostles from outside and they became very confident.

    The leader who was ck Panther smiled, cracked his knuckles and walked forward, ¡°All of you don¡¯t move, let me y with him. Damn, I haven¡¯t fought in more than a month, I¡¯m itching for one.¡±

    ck Panther had just finished speaking and he saw a few of the other apostles that had rushed here flew out at high speed and fell to the ground with loud thuds. They then flew back in and struck the wall before falling onto the ground again.

    After two minutes, the badly battered men were sitting in the first row of the ssroom. They cried as they took down notes.

    ¡°Why are you crying? You are not allowed to.¡± Zhao Yao shouted at them from the stage, ¡°From here on, take down what I have to say. You will be stabbed for every word you miss.¡±

    He looked at ck Panther and handed the knife over to him, ¡°Stab yourself.¡±

    There were patches of blue ck on his face which seemed like Goddess Nu Wo¡¯s sky healing stone.

    It wasn¡¯t that he hadn¡¯t thought of resisting, but the injuries on his body were a result of his resistance. He knew that the b*stard opposite him was too strong, he would lose if they fought.

    He could only plead, ¡°Brother, I have to really stab?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I have the real Holy Water of Hope. Once you have stabbed, I will apply it and I can assure that nothing will happen to you.¡± Zhao Yao spoke as he looked at ck Panther¡¯s dilly-dally demeanor. He didn¡¯t want to waste any more time, his eyes flickered and ck Panther felt that he had lost control over his own body. In a moment, he stabbed himself with the knife in his hand.

    WIth that, ck Panther instantly let out a scream and he saw the blood streaming out from the wound on his stomach.

    Zhao Yao then extracted the knife from his stomach and more blood streamed out. ck Panther¡¯s face turned pale.

    After which, Zhao Yao sprinkled a bit of the water, the miracle took ce. The wound on ck Panther¡¯s stomach closed up in the blink of an eye. He touched his stomach and the wound indeed disappeared.

    ck Panther was shocked, ¡°Holy Water? The real Holy Water?¡±

    In reality, it wasn¡¯t but Zhao Yao created an illusion with his magic.

    It created a stir among the crowd because they all knew ck Panther and the rest. They could not have formed a partnership with the stranger in front of them to lie to them. Hence, many of them immediately believed in Zhao Yao¡¯s Holy Water of Hope.

    At the next moment, Zhao Yao grabbed ck Panther and brought him to the next ssroom. The crowd followed behind him excitedly.

    Upon seeing Zhao Yao mming open the door, a few of the students who were lying down to rest raised their heads. They saw Zhao Yao who just rushed in stabbed ck Panther a few times before applying the water. After which, the wound healed immediately.

    With more ssroom doors he mmed open, the crowd that was following behind him increased.

    Finally, in one of the ssrooms, he found one of his targets, Xiao Ming.

    Xiao Ming looked emaciated. He was wearing torn and tattered cotton overalls. His face revealed decadence and dejection until he saw Zhao Yao rushing in and stabbing ck Panther thrice with blood flowing all over.

    ¡°Master!¡± Xiao Ming shouted, ¡°You barged your way into Chuan Xiao District for me?¡±

    ¡°Who licked me!¡± Elizabeth who was in the kitty bag eximed.

    Roly Poly and Ares immediately shook their heads at the same time, ¡°Not me, not me.¡±

    Elizabeth was also just released by Zhao Yao to utilise the ability of illusion while utilising the ability of quick regeneration.

    After all, the ne of illusion¡¯s seal wasn¡¯t as capable as the innate swiftness of Elizabeth.

    ¡°Xiao Ming?¡± Zhao Yao intentionally let Elizabeth remove Xiao Ming¡¯s facial camouge alone for them to recognize themselves and they would have to thank him in the future.

    ck Panther¡¯s face revealed hisment and resent after he was stabbed multiple times. He eximed anxiously, ¡°Holy Water! Holy Water!¡± He looked at his own stomach and wondered why his blood streamed out like running water.

    Zhao Yao who was standing on the other side wasn¡¯t anxious at all. He grabbed onto ck Panther and walked to the front of Xiao Ming, ¡°Ha ha, I finally found you.¡± He thought to himself, ¡°My 50,000,000 dors, luckily it¡¯s still here.¡±

    Xiao Ming was very touched. Of course he didn¡¯t knew how much did Zhao Yao¡¯s power increased since thest time he saw him but he knew about the situation of Chuan Xiao District.

    He thought of how Zhao Yao actually barged his way in to save him and he felt that this was a worthy friendship.

    ck Panther started crying as he held onto his stomach, he then shouted, ¡°Cannot! I really can¡¯t, I feel like my gut is flowing out.¡±

    Zhao Yao knew that this was an illusion and he didn¡¯t utilize any magic to result in his gut flowing out. But he saw the fear on his face, he eventually applied some water and activated his ability to let ck Panther feel like his wound had recovered.

    Xiao Ming was shocked at what he saw, ¡°This is...¡±

    Zhao Yao grabbed him and dragged him out, ¡°Do not care about these, follow me closelyter on. He was a 1000+ experience points with 50,000,000 dors package, Zhao Yao had to look after him carefully.

    At the same time, he threw Red Packet which was held on by a student to Xiao Ming. He reminded him, ¡°Hold firmly onto this cat.¡±

    Red Packet¡¯s face revealed his unwillingness. He said, ¡°Hey, you have wreaked havoc, we should leave quickly. If not, Old Cat would be here soon and we wouldn¡¯t be able to escape then.¡±

    Zhao Yao rubbed Red Packet¡¯s head, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will stab him then.¡±

    ck Panther felt a tinge of pain when he heard what Zhao Yao said as he was dragged into another ssroom. He finally couldn¡¯t help himself and eximed, ¡°Master, can I don¡¯t be stabbed anymore? My body will rot soon with more wounds. I will take notes and properly learn!¡±

    ¡°Rot?¡± Zhao Yao waved the knife, ¡°Then let¡¯s change a ce to stab.¡± Zhao Yao punched it into ck Panther¡¯s chest. Intense pain hit him instantly and he grimaced in pain, letting out continuous shrills. This scene frightened the students in the ssroom.

    At this moment, Zhao Yao¡¯s eye glistened as he stared at a 17 to 18 year old girl.

    ¡°This is Sonia¡¯s younger sister? She looks so much like her.¡±

    Zhao Yao brought the bleeding ck Panther to her. She folded her arms in fear and she stared at Zhao Yao with a panic-stricken face.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. You¡¯re Sonia¡¯s sister right?¡±

    She nodded hesitantly, ¡°Who are you?¡±

    ¡°The revolutionary business leader,¡± Zhao Yao grabbed her and walked out, ¡°Let¡¯s go. Your sister is already the General Manager at mypany¡¯s Eastern China division. I will bring you to her.¡±

    The little girl was shocked, ¡°My sister is here too?¡±

    ¡°Of course she is here, follow me, I will bring you to her...¡±

    Following which, Zhao Yao barged into all the ssrooms. In half an hour, all the students at Hope Elementary School were already brought out by Zhao Yao. They stood on the field and stared at him with amazement.

    Zhao Yao flipped through the task list, he had found and retrieved the ordinary people he wanted to save. However, those apostles that sought for help weren¡¯t here.

    Based on what Zhao Si had mentioned, those apostles that were captured were staying with Old Cat to learn from him personally. Only ordinary people gathered and learnt at Hope Elementary School.

    But what left Zhao Yao curious was that up till now, there wasn¡¯t anymore reinforcement to tackle him. This didn¡¯t allow for him to fully execute his ns of a sneak attack.

    He shook his head and considered his mission aplished. He then lifted his head to face the passionate crowd.

    Zhao Yao coughed and said, ¡°Who wants to be stabbed?¡±

    ¡°Me!¡±

    ¡°Pick me!¡±

    ¡°Teacher, let me!¡±

    Witnessing the passion of the crowd, Zhao Yao nodded with satisfaction and felt that the time was about right.

    Xiao Ming who was standing at one side was speechless, ¡°Why does it seem that the situation¡¯s bing worse. Isn¡¯t this leaving one terrible situation to another?¡±

    ¡°Everyone listen to me.¡± Zhao Yao waved his hand to signal for the crowd to be quiet, ¡°I have researched on this for 20 years and hope that this will revolutionize the medical field, to let everyone be healed and be fearless of death. But before all these...¡±

    The crowd was silent and everyone was staring at Zhao Yao, waiting for him to continue his sentence. ck Panther and many others were also taking notes furiously.

    ¡°Let¡¯s do something first.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°Which is to retrieve the supplies! Everyone follow me! Let¡¯s go retrieve the Holy Water of Hope.¡±

    Hence, the crowd followed Zhao Yao and headed towards the exit of Chuan Xiao District. Zhao Yao lead the crowd, those that attempted to stop him were repelled away.

    Old Li who was stationary the whole while went along with the crowd. From the time that Zhao Yao revealed his act of stabbing himself in the first floor ssroom, he had been with the rest. He grabbed the opportunity to detach himself from the crowd and went towards ck Panther.

    ¡°ck Panther, let¡¯s leave. With so many people, this guy wouldn¡¯t notice us.¡±

    Upon hearing what Old Li said, ck Panther shot him a puzzled look and said, ¡°What¡¯s the point of leaving? This is the real Holy Water of Hope. There will only be one opportunity like this in life.¡±

    Old Li was speechless and scolded him inside his mind, ¡°This guy really believe him?¡±

    If ck Panther heard what Old Li thought, he would have replied, ¡°Of course, he stabbed and healed me multiple times.¡±

    Old Li cursed in his mind and looking at the craze in his eyes, he was familiar with that look and knew that they wouldn¡¯t follow him. He then started jogging towards the district centre.

    But when he neared the piazza, he could hear loud sounds of collision.

    When he entered the piazza, he saw two groups confronting each other. They were Li Tian, Sonia and the apostles that were captured, up against Chuan Xiao District¡¯s apostles.

    Standing at the front for the group of Chuan Xiao District¡¯s apostles were Uncle Meng and Tiger. The two of them were the ones who allowed Xiao Ming to call and recruit apostles. Tiger even went to the depot to fetch Zhao Yao.

    Looking at both parties, Old Li didn¡¯t understand what was happening but he thought about the situation at Hope Elementary School and shouted, ¡°Old Cat, things aren¡¯t good. A swindler entered the school and brought the students away!¡±

    Everyone was shocked after hearing what Old Li had said and they were not able toprehend it at that moment.

    Students of Chuan Xiao District¡¯s Hope Elementary School were brought away by a swindler?

    ¡°What does that mean?¡± Tiger was confused. Although he understood every word but still wasn¡¯t able toprehend the situation.

    Sonia, Li Tian and the rest did not know what was happening too. What did he mean when he mentioned that they were brought away by a swindler? Was there an internal battle?

    With the current situation, Sonia and the rest were gloomy too. They were elusive at times, and even had teleportation and shadow walking abilities. All the while they had been collecting information secretly with the aim of finding out Old Cat¡¯s secret.

    But it wasn¡¯t long before they were exposed by an enemy apostle who had superior hearing. They fought as they escaped but they were eventually rounded up and sent here.

    Furthermore, it was obvious to Sonia that there was a drastic gap between both parties. The opposition had over ten apostles but only a handful of them fought. The rest only resisted before fleeing.

    But Sonia and the rest were defeated. That was because their abilities were mostly for stealth. Their powers for direct confrontation were too weak.

    Also, the few enemies who fought were too strong. They were calm throughout and wasn¡¯t nervous at all and even shed asional smiles. They werepletely defeated and couldn¡¯t escape.

    After what Old Li said, in the center of the apostles that gathered there, the snow-white cat who was carried by Uncle Meng stretchedzily.

    There wasn¡¯t a single taint on the white cat¡¯s body and the cat¡¯s skin was snow-like. Even the paws that were used to walk on the roads were white without any dirt.

    His tail shot straight up and stretched his pawszily in Uncle Meng¡¯s arms. He yawned and began speaking.

    Yes, this snow-white cat was Chuan Xiao District¡¯s leader, Old Cat, and he could speak.

    Old Cat spoke with a strong ent, ¡°Old Li, where¡¯s ck Panther and the rest?¡±

    Old Li replied, ¡°They were beaten by the swindler and were following him already.¡±

    Old Cat squinted and looked towards Sonia and her people, ¡°Quit ying, settle them.¡± He looked towards Tiger and said, ¡°You bring the men over to the school.¡±

    Tiger nodded and started heading towards Hope Elementary School with a few apostles.

    With his instructions, the two apostles who had been suppressing Sonia and her people smiled and acted

    One of them exploded into a ball of fire like Human Torch from the Fantastic Four. Pores throughout his body exploded into mes. In a moment, he evolved into a small sun, burning everything in sight and even crystallizing the ground beneath his feet.

    The other man emanated waves of freezing air andyers of frost formed on the surrounding ground. The bodies of those that weren¡¯t near him also stiffened and shivered.

    They were both equal in strength and each upied their own areas, the people had no choice but to retreat.

    Sonia was exceptionally shocked. Abilities of this magnitude could rival armies¡¯ and she then realized that they never revealed their full prowess the whole while.

    At the same time, Li Tian¡¯s expression changed drastically as he didn¡¯t expect that in this small ravine, there were actually such mighty apostles. He stood up and said, ¡°Old Cat, I¡¯m with the Ivory. If you touch me, you are going up against Ivory, do think clearly.¡±

    With that, Ice Man and Fire Man stopped and looked towards Old Cat. Evidently, Ivory still had its effectiveness.

    Old Cat casually said, ¡°Don¡¯t kill them. Tie them up.¡± Old Cat wasn¡¯t only able tomunicate, he could also use his words to alter people¡¯s thoughts. Hence, he wasn¡¯t fazed by Li Tian¡¯s threat and ordered them to act.

    With this ability, he was able to recruit more apostles under him and enhanced his power at an unthinkable speed.

    In the next moment, the scary ze and freezing air headed towards Sonia and the guys. They had to use their abilities to evade getting hit.

    Li Tian was enraged, ¡°These scums.¡±

    Even though he was angry, there wasn¡¯t much they could to. Firstly, they couldn¡¯t be near these men of extremely high and low temperatures.

    Secondly, they didn¡¯t have the firepower to attack from a distance and this battle resembled a cat chasing the mice.

    Ice Man and Fire Man were like tigers among a herd of sheep. High temperature, freezing air, crystals swept across. The intention wasn¡¯t to kill, they either froze their leg or burnt their arm to immobilize them.

    Seeing that the apostles were slowly falling to the Ice Man and Fire Man, Sonia¡¯s and Li Tian¡¯s conditions worsened too. At one moment, their hair seemed to have caught fire and the next, their arms froze and bodies trembled.

    ¡°Damn it, their powers are too destructive, we can¡¯t even get near them.¡± Sonia once again evaded a fiery dragon and felt that her face was burning and a burnt smell emanated from her hair.

    At this moment, a streak of purple light shed before everyone¡¯s eyes like a thunderbolt, striking Fire Man.

    Bam! The purple light struck the ze. Fire Man¡¯s expression changed and he flew back. The purple light pursued but was blocked by the tiers of ice wall. When it cut open the walls, Ice Man and Fire Man had already regrouped.

    At the next moment, two streaks of purple light broke through the surface and before they could react, they prated the two men¡¯s chests.

    Seeing the streaks of purple light, Li Tian¡¯s expression changed and he was excited, ¡°It¡¯s vice-chairman!¡±

    At that moment, a young man with long ck hair and clothed in white robe flew here on streaks of purple light like the deity which flew over the masses in ancient mythology.

    The young man stared at Old Cat coldly and whispered, ¡°Die.¡±

    At the next moment, he shot a piercing streak of purple light at Old Cat.

    I am ck Panther. Initially, I was an ordinary person with good looks and was a bully. But from here on, I had found the beacon that would guide me forward in life.

    ck Panther followed behind Zhao Yao with a determined expression. He said, ¡°Who would have thought that I would have the opportunity to revolutionize the medical industry. I am working towards financial freedom and changing the world. When I have the money, I can eat grain pancakes with twenty eggs.¡±

    He thought about the owner of the pancake stall with envy and giggled uncontrobly.

    Zhao Yao turned and looked at the giggling ck Panther, frowned and said, ¡°What are you giggling about?¡±

    ck Panther immediately stopped smiling and he became stern, ¡°I was thinking of our bright future. I am smiling for the development of mankind.¡±

    ¡°For real?¡± Zhao Yao saw his smile and thought to himself, ¡°This guy really believed me? Or was he acting?¡± Zhao Yao was very cautious, ¡°Repeatedly stabbing someone when persuading him was so effective? Till now, I still hadn¡¯t asked what is his ability.¡±

    At that moment, Zhao Yao¡¯s ear twitched and he could hear noises from a distance. It was chatters and footsteps from a group.

    Zhao Yao frowned and shouted, ¡°Everyone stop. People areing and they are possibly apostles. Everyone stay behind me, rest assured I will protect all of you.¡±

    While Zhao Yao was speaking, hundreds of vigers emerged with forks, shovels, iron rods, clbs as they crowded over. Among them, apart from a few young and muscr men, the rest were elderly, children and women.

    As a part of Chuan Xiao District, they have shared the glory and losses with the swindlers. Now that they knew that the victims were about to escape, they immediately came to intercept.

    ¡°Who dares to leave?!¡±

    ¡°Are you crazy? You forget what you are here for?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no way anyone of you are leaving.¡±

    The vigers were emotional and the number of people crowding around started increasing.

    Zhao Yao grabbed onto ck Panther and struck his chest thrice, he revealed a murderous look and eximed the vigers, ¡°Who dares to block the way will be killed!¡±

    ck Panther fell onto the ground in a pool of blood and the expressions of the vigers changed drastically.

    Zhao Yao continued stabbing a few others. With the people¡¯s speed of reaction, along with the power of his illusion, no one could stop him and in a blink of an eye, the floor was filled with bodies.

    Chuan Xiao District¡¯s vigers had never seen this before. Even there were formidable enemies, they didn¡¯t kill tens of people in a single breath. Seeing Zhao Yao rushing over with his knife, the crowd immediately retreated with rm.

    ¡°Murder!¡±

    ¡°Quickly escape! Run! There¡¯s a murderer!¡±

    ¡°ck Panther is dead! Call the police!¡±

    In a moment, the crowd dispersed. Zhao Yao smiled and sprinkled water on them while he actually removed the illusion.

    Those that were stabbed and had fallen onto the ground gradually stood up and shockingly looked at their perfectly fine bodies.

    Once again, apuse rung from behind Zhao Yao.

    ck Panther stood up too and touched his perfectly fine stomach.

    Zhao Yao handed a tissue paper over to ck Panther and told him, ¡°Wipe yourself, it¡¯s water.¡±

    ck Panther was touched as he received the tissue paper. He thought to himself, ¡°Besides his inclination to stab others, master is actually quite a nice person.¡±

    Zhao Yao grinned and asked, ¡°ck Panther, what¡¯s your ability?¡±

    ck Panther instantly replied, ¡°My ability is to stab my friends. I can stab them in the back.¡±

    Zhao Yao slowly took a few steps back, ¡°We are not friends yet right?¡±

    Xiao Ming witnessed the entire process and he knew that Zhao Yao had multiple abilities. Even though he wasn¡¯t sure how he was healing them but he was sure that Zhao Yao depended on his abilities.

    Xiao Ming wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, ¡°Master didn¡¯t really..¡±

    Tiger was quickly advancing with a group of four apostles as they sped towards the direction of Hope Elementary School.

    Chuan Xiao District didn¡¯t have many roads. They ran and it wasn¡¯t long before they met the fleeing crowd. Tiger held onto one of them and asked, ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°Mur... Murder!¡± The person who was held onto panicked, ¡°Brother... Brother Tiger!¡± Upon noticing that it was Tiger, the person regained his senses and said, ¡°Someone from outside was escaping with the people. He killed many, ck Panther is dead! Quickly go stop them!¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Tiger revealed a slightly vicious gaze. This was the first time someone was killed here and he was their people. With that, Tiger felt rage building up within him and he shouted, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    Walking to the foot of the hill, he immediately saw Zhao Yao and many students who were approaching from the other direction.

    ¡°That¡¯s them!¡± Tiger rushed towards them with a murderous look.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes brightened when he saw them because among them, two of them were his targets.

    As Old Cat didn¡¯t trust the cats or apostles from outside the district, hence most of the cats and apostles stayed together. Only ck Panther and a few of their own watched the premises. Hence, majority of those he saved from the elementary school were ordinary people.

    When he saw the apostles who he targeted to save, how could he not be happy. He immediately headed forward.

    But a man went ahead of him and that was ck Panther.

    Looking at ck Panther, Tiger revealed a pleasant surprise, ¡°You are not dead?¡±

    ck Panther waved his hand and said, ¡°Brother Tiger, this master invented the real Holy Water of Hope, I used it and even after dozens of stabs, I¡¯m not dead.¡±

    ¡°Are you crazy?¡± Tiger frowned.

    ¡°It¡¯s real!¡± ck Panther eximed excitedly, ¡°Brother Tiger, you have a go at it too and you can join our big family and we can revolutionize the medical industry to create a multi-billion industry of our own!¡±

    Tiger looked at him like he was a fool, pushed him away and told him, ¡°You scram.¡±

    But at this moment, ck Panther stood behind Tiger and struck him.

    His ability to stab friends in the back was activated.

    Tiger turned around and stared at ck Panther with bewilderment. He then looked at his stomach and blood sputtered out.

    ck Panther was buoyant, ¡°It¡¯s nothing, Brother Tiger. Once some of the water is sprinkled on you, you will understand and this is all for your food.¡±

    Tiger pointed at ck Panther, his lip quivered but no words came out and he fell onto the ground.

    ¡°Brother Tiger!¡±

    The rest of the four apostles eximed, the two of them had already rushed towards Tiger and the other two went to suppress ck Panther.

    ¡°ck Panther, are you crazy?¡±

    The ability to stab friends in the back was activated again. Double kill, triple kill! Monster kill!

    With four stabs, ck Panther saw four of them lying on the ground and grinned, ¡°It¡¯s okay. You will be hopping around in a moment.¡±

    He shouted towards Zhao Yao, ¡°Teacher, apply some Holy Water of Hope on them.¡± ck Panther thought to himself, ¡°My ability was used to fend off my own people and hence was deployed to supervise my people. Now I can finally use it to help my own, this is the reward.¡±

    Zhao Yao opened his mouth slightly and was dazed as he stared at ck Panther. ¡°This guy... is really stupid. And why does it seem like this ability is so impressive.¡±

    He rushed over, knelt down and thought to himself, ¡°Roly Poly, look at the wounds.¡±

    Roly Poly activated his ability and made a part of Tiger¡¯s body transparent for him to assess his wound.

    ¡°It¡¯s still okay, it didn¡¯t hurt his organs. He won¡¯t die.¡±

    Under the nket of illusion, he took out a medical kit from the extradimensional belly and went to bandage them.

    With the dressing in hand, Zhao Yao began his haphazard bandaging before shoveling bottles of energy drinks down their throats. He could finally heave a sigh of relief when the bleeding began to subside.

    Wiping off the sweat umted on his forehead, he stood back up and was greeted by a radiant smile stered across ck Panther¡¯s face. Zhao Yao mmed his face into his hands and muttered, ¡°ck Panther, do you understand how serious this is? You almost killed these men here!¡±

    ¡°Master, it¡¯s perfectly fine.¡± ck Panther intercept Zhao Yao¡¯s words, ¡°I have been stabbing people all my life and I know the exact location to stab to prevent them from dying.¡± With that, he brandished his dagger and continued, ¡°Hey Master, we¡¯re destined to meet each other since both of us share a special interest in stabbing others.¡±

    ¡°D*mn it! Who told you that I liked to stab people?¡± Zhao Yao retorted as he quivered with indignation.

    ck Panther pointed to his belly and then his chest before exining, ¡°Master, but you ...¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and answered, ¡°Actually, I only like to stab you.¡±

    ck Panther was left speechless by that exasperating response.

    After some time, Zhao Yao ordered Elizabeth to cast an illusion on everyone there. In their eyes, Tiger and gang hadpletely recovered from their injuries and were even jumping up and down. Yet, they would disappear into the crowd when no one was noticing.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao continued leading his vast entourage out of the district. He also reminded Ares to drag the wounded apostles along using his deflective field.

    After all, they were the reason why Zhao Yao even came to this ce. Loads of experience awaited him the moment he sessfully rescued them out of here.

    Inside the cat bag, Elizabeth mmed one foot against Roly Poly¡¯s chubby cheek while thrusting the other foot against Ares¡¯s spine. With her sapphire-like eyes peering out of the bag and into the crowd, she eximed, ¡°Zhao Yao actually managed to scam so many people this time around?¡±

    Ares curled his lips in disgust and grumbled, ¡°It is just a bunch of ordinary humans. I¡¯m sure my Fist of the North Star will be able to obliterate all them in an instant.¡±

    Those insolent words got on Elizabeth¡¯s nerves as she mmed her bushy white tail against his face and muttered, ¡°What do you know other than to kill and fight?¡± In her eyes, those hordes of people actually meant something greater. She whispered to herself, ¡°They are all money! Zhao Yao really knows how to earn money.¡±

    Naturally, Zhao Yao brought along those apostles he was obligated to save. As for local apostles such as Tiger, they were obviously left behind there.

    After some time, Tiger¡¯s eyelids finally began to quiver as he struggled to open his eyes. The first thing he noticed was the heaps of bandage strewn across his body. With the intense pain erupting from his belly, he stumbled to his feet before ambling towards Old Cat¡¯s direction, ¡°I must ... I must report everything to Old Cat ...¡±

    Meanwhile, the battle over at Old Cat¡¯s side was growing more intense by the second.

    The two apostles who wielded the power of fire and ice had been severely debilitated by the merciless purple sma sabers which struck relentlessly against them. In mid-air, Purple Sabre Fairy flicked his finger which sent a sma saber flying straight towards Old Cat as he screamed, ¡°Die!¡±

    Pshoom! The two apostles could only watch as they witnessed the sma saber tear across the sky and elerated directly at Old Cat.

    A few other apostles came forth and tried their best to intercept the attack with their bursts of fire and ice. Evidently, apostles who worked under Old Cat had all borrowed these simr powers from the same supercats.

    But, their attempts were futile. The fire and ice they wielded were useless against the sma saber which shed across their skins as their blood sttered across the ground. They could only retreat for now.

    Excitement and joy fluttered through Li Tian as he watched the sma saber sliced across the sky. Happiness coursed through him as he watched the inferior apostles copse to the ground, ¡°Vice President, you are truly the best!¡±

    Simrly, a glimmer of exhration shed across Sonia¡¯s eyes as she witnessed first-hand the power of Ivory. Serving as the Vice-President of the organization, Purple Sabre Fairy was one of the most famous apostles from the south. Because of the conspicuous nature of his power, he had always found it hard to keep a low profile. Many had fallen to his sma sabers, earning him a reputation which far preceded himself.

    From the looks of it, none of the apostles who stood in the sma saber¡¯s¡¯ way was its opponent. Regardless of how they dodged or defended, they simply could not escape its wrath as they copsed to the ground, powerless to retaliate.

    In her head, Sonia was pondering, ¡°It¡¯s not that they are weak. He is simply too strong.¡± Memories of these apostles torturing and thrashing her remained freshly imprinted in her memory. There was nothing she could do against them then.

    Now, these exact people were trounced by the Purple Saber Fairy.

    Actually, Purple Sabre Fairy had been stalking Li Tian all this time because two members of Ivory had been abducted by Old Cat. His original n was to use Li Tian as a bait to understand the opponent¡¯s power before capturing them in one fell swoop.

    However, the reality was a far cry from his n. Instead of collecting any useful intel, Li Tian was already captured by the enemies. Left with no choice, Purple Sabre Fairy could only reveal his identity.

    Floating in mid-air, another apostle fell to the ground with a flick of his fingers. His hair-raising aura showed Sonia what it meant to wield such a strong power.

    After piercing through the hordes of apostles, the sma saber had finally depleted all its strength as it vanished into thin air.

    Purple Sabre Fairy simply reacted with another flick of his finger which sent another sma saber bursting towards Old Cat.

    Currently, only seven apostles remained by Old Cat¡¯s side.

    The sma saber tore through the air at warp speed which sent a deafening st sweeping in all directions. All these time, Uncle Meng cradled Old Cat in his arms with his eyes shut together. He finally opened his eyes as shes of gray lines zoomed across him.

    Immediately, an infinite amount of grey particles floating in the air began to fuse together, forming a grey dome shielding the Old Cat and the apostles.

    Bam! This time around, the sma saber failed to pierce through the defense. Instead, it simply shed against the impregnable wall before sliding down and vanishing into thin air.

    Purple Sabre Fairy¡¯s eyes squinted into a hard line as he muttered, ¡°This is ...¡±

    Old Cat let out a menacingugh and exined, ¡°This is the power to control carbon. I assume you know about this element. Diamonds, graphite are allposed of this very element ...¡±

    He simmered with anger when he realized that Old Cat was simply using this opportunity to unt his intellect. He immediately interrupted and said, ¡°I know.¡± Naturally, he spoke in a cool manner to maintain his image.

    Old Cat wiped the smile off his face andmented, ¡°That¡¯s good to know. I only bothered to exin for fear that you do not understand the chemical properties of carbon. Many who came to Chuan Xiao had no idea about this unique element. I spent so much time exining to them ...¡±

    ¡°Just shut your mouth.¡± With his brows creased together, Purple Sabre Fairy shot out another sma saber which spiralled in the air, drawing a perfect parab in the sky. At the peak of its rotation, it stopped momentarily before it elerated towards the dome at an astounding speed. However, it was futile.

    ¡°Hmph, I guess you still do not understand what I¡¯m trying to say, ¡°By controlling carbon, we can create diamond. No natural material in this world is capable of breaking through diamond. Do you understand?¡±

    Actually, all the apostles who sacrificed their lives were buying time for Uncle Meng to activate his power.

    Amongst the supercats which Old Cat had scammed, he had hand-picked the strongest power defensively and gave it to Uncle Meng. With Uncle Meng as his personal bodyguard, Old Cat had been preparing himself for this day.

    ¡°Shut up.¡± Purple Sabre Fairy¡¯s forehead began to furrow slightly. With another flick of his fingers, two sma sabers had materialized from thin air. Including the one at his feet, he had hit the cap for the number of sma sabers he could simultaneously control.

    Old Cat observed his desperate struggles andmented, ¡°It¡¯s useless,pletely useless. I¡¯ve already repeated so many times that this is diamond. Also, I even hired a tailor from the district to produce an amour using this material, especially for my apostles. Speaking of which, that tailor is quite good at what he does. Based on the blueprint, he created an amour which was impregnable to any conceivable weapon and yet allows the user to move freely, with zero restraints. Are you interested in one?¡±

    Uncle Meng had spent all this time preparing for this power. Hence, he was able to extract the vast reservoir of carbon lying within the Earth. Currently, these carbon atoms had materialized into a dome, encircling everyone within it. This was his ultimate defense.

    A storm of nks and rattles erupted as the sabers shed against the wall in vain. On the other hand, the dome shielding them began to mutate and transform before ultimately bing 7 pieces of armor. Donning on these invulnerable armors, the apostles were as good as invincible.

    Purple Sabre Fairy felt shivers running down his spine when he saw it.

    Old Cat burst out in another wave ofughter, ¡°Just look at it. It looks good while offering absolute protection. Furthermore, it¡¯s handmade! Are you sure you do not want one for yourself?¡±

    Sonia who was standing on the sidelines the entire time looked on with her brows locked together, ¡°Do you get this feeling that Old Cat has grown more talkative the moment Purple Sabre Fairy came?¡±

    Li Tian was taken aback by Sonia¡¯s sudden question and mumbled, ¡°Really?¡±

    With the stylish yet functional armor adorning their bodies, four of the apostles who had the power of fire started making their moves again. By continually producing the jets of air stream from their feet, they began to levitate into the air slowly before going straight for Purple Sabre Fairy.

    Meanwhile, Uncle Meng had to focus all his attention on his power in order to ensure that the carbon remained in the current state and shape throughout their flight.

    ¡°They can also fly?¡± This power which was only revealed now stunned Purple Sabre Fairy. He realized that they had purposely hidden this power previously to protect Old Cat and Uncle Meng.

    He continued shooting sabers towards them out of desperation, but the results remained the same. The sabers simply ricocheted off the armor with a loud nk.

    With the four apostles speeding towards him, Purple Saber Fairy had no choice but to run.

    Even though the apostles were not extremely quick, but their raw number advantage conferred them a much-needed edge. Furthermore, Purple Sabre Fairy still could not solve the enigma behind that troublesome armor. Things were looking very bad for him.

    ...

    Zhao Yao swept his head around and was pleasantly surprised by the crowd he had gathered. There were almost 200 people behind him, including the victims of the scams and even locals themselves. These were the people Zhao Yao had tricked along the way.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s trick was simple: Grab ck Panther by the neck before stabbing him exactly three times in his belly. Surrounded by the face of astonishment, Zhao Yao would stter the miracle water on his wound which would heal him in an instant.

    ¡°This is weird, why did I even bother to trick the locals?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead furrowed slightly as even he himself was perplexed by his own actions.

    Just when the thought of putting a stop to this absurd behavior crossed his mind, he had already plunged the dagger into ck Panther¡¯s body unknowingly.

    ¡°Muscle memory?¡± Zhao Yao slid his own pair of hands a look of despise.

    At the same time, the size of the crowd had grown to the extent that it was impeding Zhao Yao¡¯s progress to escape. He could only rally the crowd as they ambled towards their next victim Zhao Yao was obliged to save.

    Because of this, he did not focus as much attention on ck Panther aspared to before.

    ¡°Hey, Uncle Zhao, it¡¯s me!¡± ck Panther started waving his hand frantically in the air at an old man in a house not too far away.

    Uncle Zhao had never expected to see such arge crowd gathered here. He ambled towards ck Panther and asked, ¡°Hey? What happened? Are you guys rebelling?¡±

    Psst!

    ck Panther slid the gleaming dagger into its sheath as a creepy smile crept up his face. He whispered, ¡°Uncle Zhao, the true miracle water has appeared. The good days have finally arrived upon us. Fortunes are awaiting us.¡±

    A pool of blood spluttered out of Uncle Zhao¡¯s mouth as his trembling fingers pointed straight at ck Panther. The smile had vanished from his face as he trembled in agony.

    However, the grin remained on ck Panther¡¯s face as he reassured Uncle Zhao with a pat on his back, ¡°Don¡¯t get too excited, Uncle Zhao. Everyone has already been through this. You¡¯ll be as fit as a bull in an instant.¡±

    Zhao Yao caught up to ck Panther before mming his fist at the back of his head. He could not help but feel sorry for Uncle Zhao who had copsed to the floor. Zhao Yao quivered with anger and screamed,¡±Are you trying to sabotage me?¡±

    Come to think of it, tens of vigers had already fallen to ck Panther¡¯s absurd stabbing. Just the thought of it caused Zhao Yao¡¯s body to lock up with rage.

    ck Panther had turned this fraud organization into the crime scene for a mass murder, turning the both of them into fugitives wanted by the entire country or even the entire world.

    Zhao Yao knew he had to put an end to his shenanigans. With a solemn expression, he took the dagger from ck Panther¡¯s hands and instructed, ¡°ck Panther, you are no longer allowed to use your power without my permission.¡±

    ¡°Huh! Why?¡± ck Panther began scratching his head violently.

    Zhao Yao exined, ¡°Stabbing an ally in their back is a behavior that is greatly frowned upon in our world. If word about your actions spreads, you will have zero chance of surviving out there.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s stupid reason seemed to have resonated with ck Panther as he nodded his head in agreement.

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao felt something grabbing his ankle. He lowered his hand and realized Uncle Zhao was still lying in a pool of blood beneath him. He immediately squatted next to him and began tending to his injuries.

    At this moment, that same Psst sound rang in his head.

    ¡°Not again!¡± Zhao Yao was in a state of denial as he slowly lifted his head. Zhao Yao could not help but plunge his face into his hands when he saw what happened. Anger took over him as Zhao Yao roared, ¡°ck Panther! I¡¯ve already repeated umpteen times not to stab others! Where did you even get your knife from?¡±

    With a frown on his face, he whispered, ¡°I didn¡¯t use my power. I stabbed him when he was facing me.¡± He then unbuttoned his trench coat which revealed tens of daggers hanging within it. With a wide grin, he rushed towards Zhao Yao and shouted, ¡°Master, take a look! My mum was afraid that I would run out of knives. Hence, she designed my coat such that I could hang all these daggers inside! Look at this one! My mum specially sewed animals¡¯ fur onto it to protect my hands during the harsh winter.

    Also, take a look at this one. It is wrapped with the most absorbent material avable in this district! My mum knows that I suffer from the problem of sweaty palms. Hence, she gave me this so that I can continue to perform even during the hot summer ...¡±

    Zhao Yao had no idea how to respond to those words, ¡°What is your mum trying to do?¡±

    ck Panther answered, ¡°My mum says that a man must know how to wield a sword. If not¡¯s, he¡¯s worse than a child!¡±

    Those worlds only managed to add oil to Zhao Yao¡¯s raging anger. He grabbed all these daggers, swords, katanas and stashed them within his belly. He continued, ¡°From today onwards, you are not allowed to stab anyone. I don¡¯t care if they are facing you or not.¡±

    Disappointment sagged through ck Panther as he heard those words. Zhao Yao then resumed his mission.

    Even though he had gotten rid of all his weapons, he was still worried that he had some tricks hidden up his sleeve. Hence, Zhao Yao continued staring at him while looking out for his next target. He even began to chat with ck Panther.

    ¡°Hey, as for your power, may I know how you choose who to stab?¡±

    ck Panther looked skyward before scratching his head and answered, ¡°I have no idea. I have never thought about it.¡±

    ¡°Then how did youe to realize that you had acquired this power?¡±

    ck Panther cackled at the question before replying, ¡°I really haven¡¯t thought about it. I just did it.¡±

    Zhao Yao was left speechless by this man.

    After a brief period of silence, Zhao Yao opened his mouth and cautioned, ¡°It¡¯s best that you stay away from knives for the rest of your life.¡±

    At this moment, a thunderous bellow erupted from the sky which caught everyone¡¯s attention.

    Even Zhao Yao was startled by the noise. Everyone raised their head and saw streams of white trails in the sky, ¡°Is that a ne?¡±

    Meanwhile, the situation continued going downhill for Purple Sabre Fairy. With Uncle Meng¡¯s power activated, the four fire-breathing apostles were hot on his heels with their bodies d in diamond armor.

    Purple Sabre Fairy was struggling to defend himself in the air, with his signature purple sma sabers whizzing across the sky. However, they werepletely useless against that armor. On the other hand, the relentless mes continued to burn, torching his clothes to a crisp. It seemed like the balls of me were about to envelop him at any time.

    Old Cat observed the battle unfold and muttered, ¡°Hai, just take a look at this. A moment ago, he was trouncing us. Now, look at the situation now. This is but a microcosm of life, filled with ups and downs. You can never truly predict anything in this world ...¡±

    Zoom! A sma saber sliced across the sky and mmed right into Old Cat¡¯s face. However, the assault was intercepted by the diamond armor, rendering the attack futile.

    ¡°I have already told you that your sma saber doesn¡¯t work against me. Why can¡¯t you believe in me?¡± Old Cat sighed, ¡°Why do you have to start throwing out punches the moment you arrive? Can¡¯t we settle this over words instead of punches?¡±

    A cheeky smile appeared on Uncle Meng¡¯s face. With his dirty-yellow teeth revealed, he chortled, ¡°Old Cat, you were the one who told them to fight you in the first ce.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s me?¡± Old Cat shook his head in despair when he realized what had happened. However, he continued by saying, ¡°But there¡¯s still room for discussion if you went against my word and chose to settle it peacefully instead. Every single dispute in this world could have been resolved if both parties were willing to sit down and discuss peacefully. If we use facts and data to support our words, there¡¯s nothing stopping us from an agreement ...¡±

    ¡°Shut up!¡± Purple Sabre Fairy dodged the relentless me attacks and shot another sma saber at Old Cat out of pure anger. As expected, it simply bounced off the armor as if it were a child¡¯s toy.

    For some unknown reason, he started growing increasingly irritated the moment Old Cat opened his mouth. He just wanted to strangle this obnoxious cat to death.

    However, he had no time to do that considering the battle in hand. With the tides turned against him, he decided to descend to the ground and continued the battle there. This would allow him to resume his fight with all three sma sabers in his hand.

    A frown also started to appear on Sonia and Li Tian¡¯s face as they watched the battle unfold. The thought of leaving Purple Sabre Fairy alone there while they made their escape crossed their minds.

    In their eyes, Old Cat and gang had already been synonymous with the world ¨C invincible.

    However, they realized that they had already been surrounded by the apostles working under Old Cat after just taking one step backward. With their bodies d in diamond armor, a cold, misty frost began to appear at their foot. It was even spreading in their direction!

    Things did not look good for them at all.

    At this exact moment, a military transport airne started whizzing across the sky and over their heads.

    On board the ne was Lin Chen who had slung a ck bag across his shoulders. The bag¡¯s shape was particrly abnormal. It was extremely thin but it was neither too long or short. From the looks of it, it even resembled a sword.

    He peered through the tiny windows on the ne and asked, ¡°Are we there yet?¡±

    ¡°We have reached already!¡± A 14 years-old girl, who stood beside Lin Chen, eximed enthusiastically. She continued by screaming, ¡°Let¡¯s go down now!¡± Without even offering any warning, she pushed open the hatch which revealed the vast ground, thousands of meters below them.

    The difference in air pressure caused violent winds to tunnel into the interior of the ne, leaving their hair in a mess.

    The young girl sported a healthy bronze skin tone, adorned with a pair of eyes brimming with energy. Her behavior was akin to a lion cub out on her first adventure with her parent. She stared viciously at her objective beneath her feet.

    Lin Chen tried to say something by opening his mouth, but the roaring wind simply rushed into his mouth, preventing him from saying a word. He could only sweep his head back before shouting, ¡°But I don¡¯t know how to use a parachute!¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to use a parachute!¡±

    Those words rang an rm in Lin Chen¡¯s head as he rified, ¡°What do you even mean by that?¡±

    The young girl was rather short-tempered. Innundated by Lin Chen¡¯s non-stop queries, she simply responded by shoveling Lin Chen out of the ne.

    Ahhh!

    A series of ear-splitting shrieks erupted from the sky, capturing the attention of everyone within the district. They immediately craned their neck upwards for a glimpse of the source of this deafening shrieks.

    With his acute sense of sight, Zhao Yao could make out the two human bodies plummeting from the sky. He began to rub his eyes and muttered,¡±What¡¯s happening? Is there something wrong with my vision?¡±

    On the other hand, everyone on Old Cat¡¯s side had their eyes glued to this pair of humans. Even the battle was put on hold for them. The reason behind it was because they realized that their battlefield happened to be theirnding spot!

    Lin Chen grabbed onto the young girl for his dear life. He could literally see the humans beneath his feet growing bigger and bigger by the second. He was barely able to breathe as his heart pounded rapidly against his chest.

    Meanwhile, the girl seemedpletely indifferent to this dare-devil stunt. Somehow, she was still exasperated by Lin Chen¡¯s obnoxious behavior. Hence, she just screamed into his ears, ¡°Can you please stop screaming like a girl? A lot of people are staring at us! I find it rather embarrassing for you!¡±

    Lin Chen tried opening his mouth to exin that it was out of his control. However, instead of words, all he managed to say when he opened his mouth was, ¡°Ahhhhhhhh!¡±

    Everyone was starting to worry for the pair of them as they showed zero indication of slowing down. Just when everyone thought that they were about to die, they began to decelerate rapidly. It was as if they had turned from a heavy boulder into a weightless feather. They then continued to descend gracefully onto the ground.

    The young girl then tapped rapidly against Lin Chen¡¯s head and muttered, ¡°Hey, hey are you done yet? Can you let go of me? We¡¯ve already touched down.¡±

    Lin Chen¡¯s face was as pale as paper. His entire body was devoid of an ounce of strength as he whispered, ¡°Could you at least give me a heads up when you¡¯re about to jump next time? I actually have a fear of heights.¡±

    The girl simply responded with a shrug of her shoulders. She then swept her head towards the battlefield and was surprised by the number of casualties lying motionlessly on the ground. A frown appeared on her face as she muttered, ¡°Are we toote?¡¯

    Obviously, both the girl and Lin Chen were government apostles. Over time, the government had continued their relentless effort to assemble their A-team. This was done through inviting strong apostles to the organization and devising weapons thatpleted their abilities seamlessly.

    Actually, Chuan Xiao District had appeared on the government¡¯s radar for quite some time. However, there were simply too many areas for them to control. Rtively, Chuan Xiao District posed less of a threatpared to some other ces which exined their inaction all these time.

    However, the government was alerted to some changes recorded by their data. From the GPS system, they identified numerousrge-scale war machines appearing on their maps. Hence, they decided to dispatch Lin Chen here to find out more.

    Their appearance was not weed by Old Cat. To err on the side of caution, Old Cat sent one of his apostles out to receive them to find out who they were.

    Meanwhile, Lin Chen tried to exin by opening his mouth. However, instead of projecting words out of his mouth, he started vomiting his breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the ground. Even the girl slid Lin Chen a condescending nce.

    Lin Chen waved his hands in the air and struggled to spoke, ¡°I¡¯m okay. I¡¯m just a little dizzy from the flight here. But I¡¯m much better already.¡± He then struggled to raise his head again. Before he even managed to say a word, he had plunged his head downwards as another deluge of vomit sshed onto the ground.

    Old Cat began to weigh the situation carefully. The next moment, he shot his paw into the air before balling them into a fist. The apostles attacking Purple Sabre Fairy recognized the gesture and huddled towards him before slowly ambling towards Lin Chen.

    Obviously, Old Cat was taking advantage of the situation by attacking Lin Chen when he was frail and weak.

    Following their steps, a gush of blistering wind coupled with roaring me began to spread towards them. A ring of fire and ice had already encircled the pair.

    The girl¡¯s heart was in her throat as she watched the two assants creeping towards her with their fearsome powers. Meanwhile, her dear partner still had his head buried in his own vomit. Worry gnawed at her as she screamed, ¡°Hey, are you okay? I have practically zerobat powers. I am supposed to depend on you for safety!¡±

    Lin Chen continued waving his hands and exined with residual vomit dangling by the corner of his mouth, ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±

    Purple Saber Fairy understood that this was most probably his only chance at escaping as the sma saber flickered in his hand, ¡°Escape? Or maybe ...¡± Images of his futile attempts at prating the enemy¡¯s defense flooded his mind, rendering escape as his only option.

    However, he might not actually outrun these apostles if it came down to a foot race.

    ¡°No wonder they dared to put the battle with me on hold. They must be treating me as some sort of easy prey.¡± This thought alone caused his temple to throb with rage.

    Meanwhile, Lin Chen could hardly stand on his feet as he continued to vomit non-stop. The two apostles approached him from the nks, surrounding him with a searing me on the left and the blistering cold on the right. This attack should take Lin Chen down for good.

    However, Lin Chen¡¯s right arm started reaching towards his ck bag at this moment as he continued to shake violently.

    Following his actions, time started to slow down as everyone¡¯s actions grew slower and slower.

    Lin Chen could see the me and gush of cold win approaching him in slow motion. It was so slow that he could even make out the flickering of the embers as well as the frost materializing from thin air.

    However, Lin Chen was unaffected by the change in time as he appeared next to the two apostles in the blink of an eye. He had already torn the ck bag apart, revealing a long sword coated in metal with electrical wires running along its length.

    This was the weapon cat king of the north had specially designed for Lin Chen in an attempt topensate for hisck of offensive power ¨C high frequency vibrating sword. The rapid vibration of the molecules within the sword would cause any material it came into contact with to age swiftly, allowing the sword to cut through it effortlessly. This powerful strength was also condensed into a tiny frame, making it a highly portable weapon.

    Theoretically, even the strongest materials such as diamond or graphene would falter against it. Lin Chen¡¯s power was the perfect fit for this weapon, bringing out its full potential.

    Lin Chen continued observing these two absurd apostles moving in slow-motion before he sliced his sword against the night sky. Immediately, their diamond armor was shredded to pieces, revealing their skin which had been torn apart as blood trickled down from the wound. A bloodbath was imminent.

    With Lin Chen¡¯s quickness, he had already moved on to his next target before the first drop of blood even emerged from the wound. With one giant leap, he found himself next to the three fire apostles.

    Bam!

    When time resumed to its normal speed, their diamond armors had already vaporized into the air as their bodies copsed into a puddle of blood.

    The apostle standing by Sonia also fell to the ground with his diamond armor shredded to pieces.

    Purple Sabre Fair, Old Cat, Meng Lao, Sonia and Li Tian stared wide-eyed at this unreliable turn of events.

    They still could not wrap their heads around what had just happened. Lin Chen¡¯s body suddenly bolted forward as a gust of strong wind swept across the ce, tearing their amours to pieces. Those cocky pricks who were acting so smugly a moment ago were already lying motionlessly on the ground.

    Sonia was left speechless, ¡°The world of superpower is truly frightening. I feel so weak and powerless against them. I must resume the life of an ordinary human when I leave this ce.¡±

    Li Tian, who stood by her side, had already lost his originalposure as he looked towards Lin Chen with his brows tightly knitted together.

    Actually, everyone had the same expression on their face. Everyone¡¯s eyes were on Lin Chen as he strolled confidently towards Old Cat beforeing to a sudden halt. He threw his chest forward before another wave of vomit gushed out from his mouth.

    The girl who came along Lin Chen asked, ¡°Are you sure you are okay?¡±

    Lin Chen shook his hand before waving his hands in the air, ¡°I¡¯m alright. It¡¯s just that ... ahhh ... I moved a little too quickly just now.¡± Despite the relentless vomiting, his hands began reaching towards his word.

    Old Cat noticed this and shouted immediately, ¡°Calm down! We give up! We give up!¡±

    Old Cat¡¯s response caught Lin Chen by surprise. He never expected a surrender toe so easily.

    At the same time, Meng Lao had already loosened the shields attached to his body. It seemed like they were serious about the surrender. Old Cat continued speaking, ¡°Young fe, do not do anything rash. We have already given up. No blood has to be shed between any of us. We can sit down and discuss verbally without our fists. If woman and money are what you seek, I am more than willing to help satisfy your needs ...¡±

    For some reason, Old Cat¡¯s words did not manage to appease Lin Chen at all. Instead, he began to quiver with frustration as his annoyance red.

    Suddenly, Lin Chen noticed a sh of purple sma sabers whizzing past him. He responded by taking a step forward before mming them into the ground.

    ¡°What the hell are you trying to do?¡± Lin Chen roared with his eyes fixed on Purple Sabre Fairy.

    However, Purple Sabre Fairy waspletely indifferent to Lin Chen¡¯s words as he continued staring viciously at Old Cat, ¡°Shut ... your ... mouth...¡± Three sma sabers appeared behind him with their sharp edges pointing straight at Old Cat.

    Old Cat responded with a grin and answered, ¡°Hey, you don¡¯t get too excited as well. There is always room for discussion in whatever we do. Come, let¡¯s sit down and talk ...¡±

    ....

    On the other end, Zhao Yao stared into the distance as he observed two figures free-falling from the sky. This perplexing scene caused his forehead to furrowed slightly as he muttered, ¡°Why are other apostles joining in the fun?¡±

    ck Panther was bursting with excitement as he continued to jump up and down before shouting, ¡°Someone is falling from the sky! I¡¯ve never seen anyone fall to death! Should we go and take a look?¡±

    Zhao Yao weighed the situation before him and decided to prioritize the missions on hand. The amazing scene unfurled as Zhao Yao led an entourage of more than 200 people on the streets as they made their way out of the district. With all the apostles embroiled in the battle, none of the remaining vigers dared to stop them. They were simply hiding in their homes as fear wed through their heads.

    ¡°Do not go out! That guy is crazy!¡±

    ¡°Yea! I heard he even stabbed Uncle Zhao! Who would even kill such a nice person?¡¯

    ¡°I heard even Tiger fell victim to him. This man is responsible for the massacre.¡±

    ¡°I heard many more died in the hands of this evil man. So much innocent blood is shed because of him! I¡¯ve already contacted the police, we shall just buy time till theye.¡±

    ¡°Look, ck Panther is following him.¡±

    ¡°That sycophant! I heard he was the one who thrust the knife into Uncle Zhao¡¯s chest.¡±

    Even though the viges were whispering, their words were crystal clear in Zhao Yao¡¯s ears because of ¡®Four is better than three¡¯. Each word rang in his head like a ring ringtone. This nonsense was getting on Zhao Yao¡¯s nerves as his mouth began to twitch with raging anger.

    Suddenly, he cocked his head towards ck Panther which caused him to freeze with fear, ¡°Master, what¡¯s the matter?¡±

    Zhao Yao let out a sigh of despair before exining, ¡°Do not return once you set foot out of this ce. Bring your mother along as well.¡±

    ¡°Why?¡± ck Panther could not understand his purpose of saying all these, ¡°Also, my mom has left three years ago ...¡±

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Where did she go?¡±

    ¡°One day, she startedining about this throbbing headache before she went to a neighboring hospital to get it checked out. The X-ray revealed a tumor in her head. Our family had zero means of paying for the surgery and my mum decided to solve the problem by killing herself. All she left was a piece of letter.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s pupils dted as he fought back his tears. He took a deep breath before saying, ¡°I¡¯m sorry for bringing this up.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing!¡± ck Panther shattered the momentary silence with a cackle. He began shouting at the top of his voice, ¡°Thank god I met you, master! Thanks for bringing me out on this big project! Once I save my first pot of gold, I will construct a road in this district and name it ck Panther Street. I¡¯m sure my mum will be proud to see it in heaven!¡±

    Sorrow closed up Zhao Yao¡¯s throat as soreness tore at his chest when he heard those words.

    At the same time, they had already reached the entrance to the district.

    The fleeting sorrow dissipated as Zhao Yao watched the masses walked through the gates. Every one of them represented apleted mission which meant heaps of experience points.

    Suddenly, a st of explosion erupted from afar.

    Zhao Yao strained his eyes and noticed Sonia and Li Tian dashing towards the entrance. It seemed like something was chasing after them.

    Sonia had also noticed Zhao Yao but had no intentions to stop at all. She continued running at top speed but whispered into Zhao Yao¡¯s ears when she sped past him, ¡°Run!¡±

 Chapter 351: Brain Wash!

    <h4>Chapter 351: Brain Wash!</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Just minutes ago, Lin Chen had singlehandedly put an end to the hurricane of attacks with a draw of his sword. Old Cat did the only logical thing to do ¨C give up ¨C but continued toin andment incessantly.

    Every word that poured out of Old Cat¡¯s mouth was as good as a fly buzzing inside Lin Chen¡¯s head. He was so tempted to just kill these ¡®flies¡¯. However, Purple Sabre Fairy beat Lin Chen to it bynding a barrage of attacks on Old Cat which were only intercepted by Lin Chen.

    The thought of restraining Purple Sabre Fairy by knocking him unconscious did cross Lin Chen¡¯s mind but Purple Sabre Fairy suddenly froze in his movements, standing motionlessly.

    A glint shed across Old Cat¡¯s eyes for he knew that he had sessfully activated his power.

    Old Cat¡¯s power was known colloquially as Machine Gun Mouth.

    It might seem weak and useless on the surface, but an effective utilization of this power would render the user invincible.

    If the target victim heard more than 2000 words which came out of Old Cat¡¯s mouth, every following word which poured out would be directly imnted into the depths of their consciousness.

    Subsequently, for every 500 words spoken, Old Cat was able to embed an idea inside the target¡¯s head.

    For example, if Old Cat chose the idea of eating an egg, the target victim would suddenly develop an intense desire to eat an egg.

    However, the difficulty of inserting this idea was directly proportional to its difficulty. Also, the effects would be weakened if the proposed action shed with the target¡¯s thoughts. Throughout this process, the victim would develop an intense hostility for Old Cat.

    Still, the effects could onlyst for one day. The idea imnted in the target¡¯s head would disappear at the end of the 24 hours but the changes in the victim¡¯s behavior and personality would not disappearpletely.

    Furthermore, Old Cat could continually influence the target by spewing more of his nonsense. This exined the hordes of apostles and supercats working under him.

    That was the reason for his incessant jabbering the moment he met Purple Sabre Fairy. He had finally reached the requirement of 2500 words and immediately nted an idea in his head.

    ¡°Old Cat is actually rather nice.¡±

    This notion caused Purple Fairy Sabre¡¯s abhorrence for Old Cat to vanish into thin air. He even found Old Cat rather friendly and amiable.

    Old Cat did not stop at there. He continued bbering into Purple Sabre Fairy¡¯s head, ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to prepare some food for us. We can just sit down here and talk over some delicious home-cooked food. We can even have beer ...¡±

    Old Cat continued casting his power on Lin Chen and Purple Sabre Fariy. Thetter was still rather friendly with him but the former was growing increasingly irritated.

    Lin Chen promptly gave a dismissive wave of his hands when Old Cat¡¯s words rang in his head, ¡°Thanks but no thanks. All of you, just stay here. Someone will be here to fetch you.¡± Naturally, the people he was referring to were the reinforcements from the police. There was no possible way he could bring so many suspects back on his own.

    This did not put an end to Old Cat¡¯s babbling. Soon enough, he had nted the second idea in Purple Sabre Fairy¡¯s head, ¡°Old Cat is a friend.¡±

    Purple Sabre Fairy¡¯s body began to shudder. A green vein even popped up across his forehead. Obviously, this idea was an absolute contradiction with what he had originally thought.

    Suddenly, tens of apostles appeared on the roof of a building before they pounced towards Purple Sabre Fairy, Lin Chen and Old Cat.

    Sonia was taken aback by this sight and muttered, ¡°What is Priest Yang and Master Mao doing here?¡± She immediately threw her head backward and confronted Li Tian, ¡°It¡¯s you!¡±

    As the reconnaissance unit responsible for collecting intel, it was natural that Sonia and Li Tian had methods to contact Priest Yang and Master Mao. The code word had also been agreed upon before they entered. When Li Tian realized that the situation was going south, he immediately sent Master Mao false information, informing him that both sides¡¯ forces had been debilitated significantly and it was the best time to capture Old Cat.

    Naturally, Priest Yang and Master Mao were not so stupid to strike the moment they entered. Instead, they watched the battles unfurled, leaving Old Cat, Sonia, Meng Lao, Li Tian, Lin Chen, the young girl and Purple Sabre Fairy as the only survivors.

    They really believed that half of the apostles in there had been wiped out which presented the best opportunity to capture Old Cat.

    Luckily, they were right. Currently, only Meng Lao stood by Old Cat¡¯s side. This was his most vulnerable moment in terms ofbat strength. However, things were not as simple as he imagined.

    Priest Yang eximed, ¡°Everyone, charge! Old Cat had been struck by my lunar darkness, reducing his power by more than 80%! Do not worry! Charge!¡±

    Old Cat was surprised by his words, ¡°Hmph, interesting power. I didn¡¯t even know that someone had used their power against me.¡± If Old Cat only knew Priest Yang¡¯s true identity, he would not be as nervous as he was.

    ¡°What are all of you doing?¡± Lin Chen eximed with his brows locked together. Without any knowledge of their identities, Lin Chen could only withdraw his sword before teleporting forward and sending the apostles flying away with a few kicks.

    ¡°All of you, stop!¡±

    This was perfect for Old Cat. Hemenced his attack by continuing his bbering, ¡°Everyone, just stop fighting. If you lose, you¡¯ll end up in the hospital, If you win, you¡¯ll find yourself in prison ...¡±

    By leveraging on this moment, Old Cat finally hit his 2500 words quota and immediately nted his first idea in Lin Chen¡¯s head, ¡°Old Cat is a good cat.¡±

    Lin Chem¡¯s smooth action suddenly came to a staggering halt. His body was trembling violently from head to toe. In his head, he knew everything about Chuan Xiao District. He knew that Old Cat was the worst, most unscrupulous swindler around. Hence, that ideapletely conflicted with his own knowledge.

    While he was engaged in the battle within his head, Purple Sabre Fairy had already sent three sabers whizzing across the sky with a snap of his fingers. The sabers tore through the air and went straight Priest Yang and Master Mao.

    Old Cat did not stop just yet but continued to pour ideas after ideas into his targets¡¯ heads. However, there was a sh of hesitation as Old Cat pondered, ¡°What exactly is the power of lunar darkness? Why can¡¯t I detect any difference in my body even after getting struck by it?¡¯

    The tables had turned for everyone in the blink of an eye.

    The purple sabers continued darting across the ce. Lin Chen¡¯s body followed suit and teleported from one corner to another, sending apostles flying into the sky. Theirbined attacks had already killed three apostles in an instant.

    Suddenly, Lin Chen copsed to the ground, with his arms and legs shaking violently. His face was already flushed with indignation because of the conflict between his own thoughts and Old Cat¡¯s power.

    However, thebined powers of the two of them were simply unstoppable. Despite Lin Chen¡¯s periodic pauses, they were able to annihte any enemies which came to them.

    Regardless of the items thrown at them, be it iron blocks, flying needles, spears, concrete bricks, rocks, armors, or even shields, the same fate befell them all-plete destruction.

    None of them stood any change against Lin Chen.

    Kill them!

    Bam! Immediately, the armor which was previously regarded as impregnable was shredded to pieces. The swords which the apostles wielded were fragmented into tiny bits. Even the apostle, with the power of control over rocks and gravels, was destroyed.

    With his sword, there was nothing that could possibly stop Lin Chen at this point.

    Furthermore, Lin Chen was not their only enemy. Purple Sabre Fairy woulde in from time to time, lending Lin Chen a helping hand. The purple sma sabers would slice across the sky before the victim¡¯s blood was mercilessly sttered across the ground.

    Priest Yang¡¯s jaw went ck when he witnessed the carnage and screamed, ¡°Where did these two fese from? When did Chuan Xiao ever have apostles of this level? Mao, I think it¡¯s time for us to escape ...¡±

    Priest Yang instantly cocked his head around only to realize that Master Mao had already beaten him to it and was already 100 meters away. Priest Yang could hardly suppress his anger and immediately gave chase.

    The apostles under those two cowards quickly fled when they realized the gravity of the situation.

    Li Tian extended his hand towards Sonia and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    A tinge of hesitation shed across Sonia¡¯s eyes.

    Li Tian noticed it and screamed, ¡°What are you waiting for?¡± Sonia shut her eyes before extending her hand towards his.

    Li Tian cocked his body forward before bending his knees at an angle. With a huge explosion of strength, he had already propelled forward at an astounding speed. The power which he was endowed with was extreme leg strength that granted him speed humans could only crave for. At his peak, he was as fast as a car.

    That was the only reason why Sonia relented to his suggestions. With his astounding strength pulling her forward, Sonia could maintain this extraordinary speed by running as per normal.

    They turned their heads around and witnessed the massacre unfurl before them. The purple sma sabers continued bouncing off their victim¡¯s body before crashing against the red-brick walls anding straight for them.

    In fact, Master Mao andpany would have zero chance of escaping if not for Lin Chen and Purple Sabre Fairy. Lin Chen¡¯s willpower was continually resisting Old Cat¡¯s power, which made it impossible for Old Cat to divert his attention towards anyone else. Also, he had to continually worry about Master Mao¡¯s supposed power.

    Naturally, Li Tian and Sonia were the ones leading the pack and had soone face to face with Zhao Yao and the hordes of people he had rescued.

    Sonia noticed Zhao Yao¡¯s confused expression but she had no time to exin, ¡°Run!¡±

    ¡°Run?¡± Zhao Yao was bewildered by her response, ¡°Why do I have to run?¡±

    ¡°Just listen to me!¡± All these time, Zhao Yao had been gnawing at her conscious since she was the one who led him to this ce. Her empathy for him intensified when she looked at that na?ve face. She shouted, ¡°Wait a moment!¡¯

    With a hard tug, she had managed to bring Li Tian to a halt. Li Tian was bbergasted by her insane behavior and retorted, ¡°Are you crazy?¡±

    Sonia sprinted towards Zhao Yao before grabbing him by the hand and dragging him towards the exit. She exined, ¡°We have to escape! Old Cat had sessfully controlled two powerful apostles! They are chasing after us!¡±

    Zhao Yao had no idea how to put it across but tried his best to exin, ¡°Erm, actually there¡¯s no need for us to escape.¡±

    ¡°What do you even know?¡± Her pulse mmed in her neck when she stared at that pair of innocent eyes which had no idea what was going on. She had no time to waste and continued screaming, ¡°Just follow us! You will be dead if they catch up to us!¡± A hint of fear was evident in her voice. Naturally, she was still affected by the atrocity which she had seen.

    Simrly, Li Tian was engulfed by both fear and anger. His eyes darted from Zhao Yao to Sonia as he roared, ¡°Just leave him here!¡±

    Sonia remained adamant and insisted, ¡°I¡¯m the one who brought him here. I can¡¯t just watch him die.¡±

    ¡°R*tard!¡± Anxiety and nervousness were flooding Li Tian¡¯s head as he swept his head around to look at the enemy¡¯s progress. Immediately, his eyes were filled with fear.

    The shadows cast by the purple sma sabers were inching towards them. Every second, an apostle would copse to the ground as the saber whizzed across their bodies.

    Suddenly, 10 giant trees were uprooted from the fertile soil and were thrown towards Lin Chen like spears. However, they were instantly destroyed the next moment as their remains settled to the ground as dust. Purple Sabre Fairy noticed the apostle behind the trees and shot two sabers at him which punctured his body, leaving two holes across his chest.

    Li Tian let out a deafening shriek when both Purple Sabre Fairy and Lin Chen looked towards his direction. Immediately, he ran away with zero regards for Sonia and Zhao Yao.

    ¡°This is bad.¡± Sonia craned her neck forward and noticed the pair ambling towards them. Cold sweat beaded her forehead as chills ran down her spine.

    On a knoll not too far away, the girl who came along with Lin Chen was frantically dialing on her phone. She screamed at the top of her voice the moment the call went through, ¡°Hey! Send in more people! That stupid Lin Chen is under Old Cat¡¯s control!¡±

    ¡°We are almost there, just hang in there ...¡±

    ¡°Hang in my ass! The entire vige would have been destroyed by the time you guys are here! Quickly,e up with a n!¡±

    The girl¡¯s eyes were fixed on the two monsters while she continued speaking. In her eyes, there was no one who could possibly put an end to their rampage.

    ck Panther took a step forward and blocked Zhao Yao when he noticed the pair approaching them. He was barely able to breathe when he spoke, ¡°Master, you should leave first. Those two do not seem friendly. I¡¯ll try to buy you as much time as possible.¡±

    Tiger was struggling to get on his feet when he noticed Old Cat not too far away from the pair of monsters. Excitement raced through him as he shouted, ¡°Old Cat!¡±

    ¡°Hmph?¡± Old Cat¡¯s eyes swept towards Tiger as his forehead creased together, ¡°What happened to you?¡±

    ¡°ck ... ck panther stabbed me.¡± Tiger¡¯s finger was still trembling as he pointed towards Zhao Yao, ¡°It¡¯s that man. He had gathered everyone from Hope Elementary School and enticed them to leave!¡±

    Terror overtook their faces when Xiao Ming, and many from Hope Elementary School, heard Tiger¡¯s report to Old Cat. However, a vast majority remained on Zhao Yao¡¯s side, without a hint of fear. Apparently, Zhao Yao¡¯s b*llshit had sessfully brainwashed them.

    ck Panther screamed, ¡°Old Cat, my master has invented the true miracle water! He is here to help us create wealth!¡±

    Old Cat slid Zhao Yao a condescending nce before cackling, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect anyone toe here and take my people away from me. I¡¯ll give it to you, you are quite brave.¡± Obviously, he knew that there was no such thing as miracle water in the world. This notion of it was only used to supplement his power in order to maintain this fraud organization.

    Tiger rushed behind Old Cat¡¯s back, with a gleeful smile stered on his face.

    Three purple sma sabers had already zoomed towards Zhao Yao, narrowly missing his head by mere centimeters. The high vibration sword in Lin Chen¡¯s hand exuded a mist-like aura which only further intensified the atmosphere.

    One small girl dashed towards Sonia before jumping into her arms. With her head buried in her chest, she screamed, ¡°Sister!¡±

    At first, Sonia was overwhelmed with happiness. However, she was soon brought back to reality when she noticed the sabers whizzing across the ce. Her brows locked together as she muttered, ¡°What do we do now?¡±

    Zhao Yao stared at the pair with his forehead furrowed together before asking, ¡°Are the both of you apostles from Chuan Xiao District?¡± Naturally, he had already recognized Lin Chen. Zhao Yao had never expected a government apostle to be swindled as well.

    Sonia let out a sigh of despair and whispered, ¡°Sorry for getting you involved in all of these.¡±

    Zhao Yao patted her on her shoulders and reassured her, ¡°Do not worry, it¡¯s fine.¡±

    Sonia shook her head violently and protested, ¡°You do not understand! They are ... different from us! Different!¡± The previous battles had shown Sonia the disparity in strengths amongst apostles. Against apostles such as Lin Chen, she simply had no chance of surviving.

    Master Mao and Priest Yang peeked their heads out of a tiny window from a faraway house and noticed Xiao Ming next to Zhao Yao. They pondered, ¡°Isn¡¯t that Xiao Ming? What do we do?¡±

    ¡°What else can we do? Are we supposed to save him when we can¡¯t even save ourselves?¡±

    ¡°We can simply jump to Old Cat¡¯s side if the situation calls for it. I mean we do belong to the same industry. We can even explore future areas of development together.¡±

 Chapter 353: The First Move

    Zhao Yao fixed his eyes on Old Cat beforementing, ¡°I guess it¡¯s not as easy as I expected to bring these people away after all.¡±

    Old Cat gave a bellow ofughter and sneered, ¡°What do you think?¡± Now, he had both Purple Sabre Fairy and Lin Chen, the two strongest apostles, under his control. Just the two of them had elevated Old Cat¡¯sbat strength to a whole new level. Joy danced through his heart at the thought of it.

    However, the hordes of viges and civilians who stood behind Zhao Yao rushed forward, blocking Zhao Yao from Old Cat¡¯s sight.

    ¡°Old Cat, I¡¯ll not allow you to kill him!¡±

    ¡°This person knows the secret behind the true miracle water!¡±

    ¡°Following him promises wealth and fortune that we cannot possibly imagine.¡±

    ck Panther clutched tightly against the dagger in his hand. Fear and hesitation shed cross his eyes as his body began shaking slightly. However, he remained steadfast in hismitment to save his master.

    Fear crossed the girl¡¯s face when she witnessed this baffling scene. She just screamed at her phone, ¡°There are hundreds of people standing face to face with Old Cat. All of them will die if you do nothing about this!¡±

    ¡°Juste up with something to protect them!¡±

    ¡°Protect them?¡± The girl¡¯s body shuddered with anger as she let out a deafening yell, ¡°This is the high-frequency vibration sword that you are referring to! Combined with Lin Chen¡¯s extreme speed, even a tank cannot withstand the attack! How am I supposed to protect those civilians from it?¡±

    Old Cat watched as the vigers came to Zhao Yao¡¯s defense, one by one. A vein popped out in his neck as he listened to his defectors begging for mercy on Zhao Yao¡¯s behalf. These traitorous actions further infuriated him as he gave a dismissive wave of his paws, ¡°Destroy them.¡±

    Purple Sabre Fairy¡¯s pupils constricted as three sma sabers shot out of his palms and went straight for Zhao Yao. The sma sabers pierced through the air before puncturing Zhao Yao¡¯s head, chest, and even stomach.

    At the same time, a thunderous st exploded in his ears. By the time they had reacted to the situation, Lin Chen was already inches away from Zhao Yao with his sword resting against Zhao Yao¡¯s chest. A vicious aura emanated from Lin Chen¡¯s body as he shot his sword in the air before mming it against Zhao Yao¡¯s chest.

    This strike could have easily torn a giant truck into pieces, let alone a human¡¯s body.

    However, ck Panther remained in front of Zhao Yao. The moment Lin Chen disappeared into thin air, ck Panther reacted by letting out an earsplitting howl before thrusting his dagger forward.

    There was no way that he could possibly see Lin Chen¡¯s actions. He also had no idea where Lin Chen¡¯s sword wasing from. Thrusting his dagger forward was a gamble in hopes of deflecting Lin Chen¡¯s attack.

    In Lin Chen¡¯s eyes, ck Panther¡¯s actions were as slow as a snail but the position of his dagger somehow obstructed the swing of his sword.

    Hence, the high-frequency vibration sword sliced across ck Panther¡¯s dagger as if it were tofu before continuing down its trajectory towards Zhao Yao. If not for hisst-ditch effort, their bodies would have already been split into two.

    However, Lin Chen¡¯s sword simply froze in the air after slicing through ck Panther¡¯s dagger.

    Until now, Lin Chen¡¯s sword was regarded as an invincible and indestructible weapon. However, it had its first taste of defeat when it was intercepted by a finger which let out a faint golden glow.

    Bam!

    Boom!

    Surges of waves exploded into the surroundings from the collision between the sword and the finger. The impact was mind-blowing as the sts radiated into every corner of the district.

    However, the three sma sabers seemed indifferent to the effects of the stunning sts and continued straight towards Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Get lost.¡±

    The next moment, a blinding beam of light erupted from the sky, hurling Lin Chen into the air as he came crashing into a building.

    The girl, who remained on the top of the knoll, stared dumbfoundedly at the sudden turn of events, ¡°Stopped ...¡±

    The voice from her phone sounded extremely nervous, ¡°Who was stopped? What was stopped?¡±

    ¡°Lin Chen is stopped.¡±

    ¡°How is that even possible?¡±

    Simrly, terror overtook Old Cat¡¯s face as he witnessed Lin Chen falling to this unexpected man. Sonia, Master Mao, and Priest Yang¡¯s eyes were glued to Zhao Yao as they looked on with a contion of fear and admiration.

    Lin Chen stared wide-eyed at this mysterious man. He could not believe that someone had actually managed to stop his high-frequency vibration sword. He was the only one who truly understood the strength of his sword and he knew exactly what it meant when someone had sessfully intercepted his attack.

    At the same time, Zhao Yao¡¯s clothing had already been torn to pieces by the beams of golden light which erupted from his body. The original illusion cast on him had also been lifted, unveiling a headless man.

    Normally, it was impossible for any type of material, even diamond, to intercept Lin Chen¡¯s strike. However, Zhao Yao¡¯s attack was not dependent on a tangible matter but Ares¡¯s deflective field. Ares¡¯s power directly acted against Lin Chen¡¯s high-frequency vibration sword, rendering its attackpletely futile.

    Furthermore, Zhao Yao even activated his ¡®Power Up Card¡¯ to ensure that nothing went wrong.

    ¡°The headless horseman?¡± The thought of fleeing there and then crossed Lin Chen¡¯s mind but he could only remain on the battlefield with Old Cat¡¯s power acting on him.

    Realizing that the tables had turned against him, Old Cat decided to revert to his usual technique ¨C control Zhao Yao with incessant bbering.

    The thunderous st caught Li Tian¡¯s attention as he swept his head around and muttered, ¡°That bunch of fools. They must help me buy a bit more time.¡±

    However, his jaw went ck when he saw the scene which unfurled in front of him. He could not even close his mouth as all his attention was fixed on the battlefield as something unfathomable had happened.

    Lin Chen¡¯s sword sliced across the sky at such an astounding speed that it looked like winter¡¯s snow scattering across the bloodied battlefield. All the attacks were focused on Zhao Yao and it enveloped him in this snow-like wonder.

    No one even managed to keep track of the number of strikes which pelted mercilessly against Zhao Yao¡¯s body. The pure speed of the attack blinded everyone to what was actually happening. In their eyes, it looked as if it was raining.

    The speed and strength of the attack distorted the space-time dimension slightly which produced a boom which swept across the area.

    This perfect attack rendered Purple Sabre Fairy useless as he watched on by the sidelines.

    However, despite its monstrous strength and supersonic speed, it still failed to break through the thinyer of golden beam.

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao¡¯s voice slowly rang from within.

    ¡°Not bad. You are deserving of the title of cat king for achieving this speed with an ordinary human¡¯s body.¡±

    ¡°However, these attacks are futile against me.¡±

    The next moment, the rain of attacks stopped as quickly as they erupted.

    Lin Chen was thrown into the air before crashing into the ground hundreds of meters away with his eyes staring viciously at the sword in Zhao Yao¡¯s hand. Somehow, Zhao Yao had managed to take his prized possession away from him, without him even noticing until now.

    He cautiously reached his arms behind him before retrieving a pair of high-frequency vibration daggers. However, he was not as hasty to attack this time around.

    This mysterious high-frequency vibration sword piqued Zhao Yao¡¯s curiosity for a moment before he threw it in ck Panther¡¯s direction.

    When Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes met Purple Sabre Fairy and Lin Chen¡¯s, they could not help but take a step back.

    Zhao Yao let out a giggle before asking, ¡°If you¡¯re not attacking me, it will be my turn to attack.¡±

    The next moment, Zhao Yao had appeared immediately behind Purple Sabre Fairy as he twisted his body sideways before throwing his arms backward, readying himself for the ultimate blow.

    With a thunderous re, Purple Sabre Fairy¡¯s body spiraled into the air before crashing into a nearby house with a loud thud.

    ¡°A chance!¡±

    At this exact moment, Lin Chen had also activated his power in hopes of leveraging on this opportunity tond a sneak attack on Zhao Yao. Time seemed like it was slowing down as Lin Chen¡¯s speed sped up exponentially. He took a leap forward and bolted towards Zhao Yao.

    Maybe all he needed was .1 seconds or even 0.01 seconds to thrust his dagger into Zhao Yao¡¯s body.

    However, his clothes had already been shredded to pieces the moment he took his first leap forward. That wasn¡¯t the only thing destroyed. Even his GPS, high-frequency vibrating daggers, jacket, and boots were vaporized into thin air. All that was left was his underwear.

    A flush crept up his face as Lin Chen muttered, ¡°He is really on a whole new level.¡±

    ¡°He has been stopped ... maybe even taken down.¡± The girl could not stop her hand from trembling as she clutched tightly onto her phone. Words were failing her as she muttered, ¡°That guy ... I think he defeated Lin Chen.¡±

    ¡°This is no time for your stupid jokes! Tell me, what happened? Hey! Hey!¡±

    Yells and howls continued pouring out of the phone but the girl was alreadypletely oblivious to it at this point. She was transfixed by the sheer strength of this mysterious headless warrior and was still recovering from her initial shock.

    Simrly, Sonia¡¯s eyes were glued to this mysterious character. Just a moment ago, she thought that both of them had reached the final chapters of their lives. However, this fool which she thought nothing of turned the tables around. He was the reason she was still alive.

    ¡°He is actually ... so powerful?¡± Sonia could not lift her eyes off of this man.

    Initially, Li Tian only turned his head around to estimate the distance between him and the two assants. However, his attention was all fixed on this perplexing scene and could not even bother to run anymore.

    ¡°How is this even possible? How did he manage to pull it off? How did he win?¡±

    Zhao Yao managed to defeat the two god-like apostles without even breaking a sweat. Those who witnessed his feat dared not imagine just how strong Zhao Yao truly was. Just the thought of it sent shivers running down their spines.

    Finally, Li Tian managed topose himself and willed his legs to continue his escape. In his head, he was screaming at the top of his voice, ¡°I must alert the higher-ups about this! I have never expected such a strong apostle to exist in our world. We cannot afford to provoke him!¡±

    Hiding behinds the walls of a building, Master Mao and Priest Yang cocked their heads towards one another. A tinge of fear was present in both their eyes.

    Priest Yang balled his fists together before letting out a long sigh, ¡°The apostle which we met earlier was already at a level that I can only dream of. His enormous strength coupled with his god-like speed had rendered him invincible. However, that brainless guy ...¡±

    ¡°He is not human.¡± Master Mao shook his head despondently, ¡°This exins my pimple breakout this morning. It was all a sign. This is scary, truly scary. I cannot imagine what will befall us.¡±

    Priest Yang¡¯s lips curled into a frown as he muttered, ¡°The pimple breakout is most probably due to all the oily food that you stuff down your throat. It has nothing to do with him.¡±

    With all his gears and equipment vanished into thin air, Lin Chen seemed to have no intention to continue this fight.

    Actually, Lin Chen already had a taste of the ¡®headless man¡¯s¡¯ power in the cat kingpetition. Lin Chen knew that Zhao Yao was capable of taking him down there and then if he wished to.

    On the other hand, the only reason why Zhao Yao stopped his onught was Lin Chen as well. Zhao Yao simply could not believe that Lin Chen would willingly serve Old Cat even after being duped all the way to this god-forsaken ce.

    Hence, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes darted towards Old Cat and rified, ¡°Are you controlling the both of them?¡±

    Uncle Meng and Tiger who stood by Old Cat¡¯s side tried their best to avoid Zhao Yao¡¯s gaze. They had met many apostles during their time spent here. This was the first time they had met an apostle as strong as Lin Chen. Never did they expect an apostle of this caliber to be subdued by a single person.

    Terror overtook Tiger¡¯s face as his body quivered with indignation. If not for the lousy decisions made, he would already have left this ce and would note face to face with this monster. Words could not describe just how frustrated he was.

    To them, the headless horseman was as good as the devil. Their bodies froze as they heard that terrifying voice rang in their heads. The sheer intensity of the situation caused tears to well up in their eyes.

    Old Cat¡¯s pupils constricted as he rified, ¡°How is that even possible? I¡¯m just an ordinary little cat. I have no idea what you are talking about ...¡± Excitement danced through his heart as he continued to pour more words out of his mouth.

    By controlling both Lin Chen and Purple Sabre Fairy, Old Cat would have the power to rule over the entire county.

    But the man who was talking to him was stronger than the both of them. If Old Cat managed to control Zhao Yao, Old Cat could possibly be the king ruling over the entire nation.

    Old Cat had never experienced fear when confronted by a strong opponent. On the contrary, the presence of such apostles excited him. This was especially true in the case of Zhao Yao. It would be a dreame true to be able to control Zhao Yao.

    A warm fuzzy feeling spread across his body at the thought of it. Even his tail began to wag from left to right excitedly. He then returned Zhao Yao¡¯s re with his most innocent Puss-in-Boots look, ¡°I am just another pawn in this organization. There are some powerful and evil men lurking in the shadows, manipting the people here. All that you¡¯ve seen today is simply the tip of the iceberg.¡±

    Evidently, Old Cat was just trying to buy time for his power to activate.

    Somehow, Old Cat¡¯s nonsense managed to trick Roly Poly as his brows snapped together, ¡°What? This is just the tip of the iceberg? Don¡¯t tell me that we have somehow ended up in the middle of a disaster?¡±

    The more he thought about it, the more frightened Roly Poly became, ¡°This is a tussle between the leaders of the nation, a struggle within the upper ss. We somehow got embroiled in this battle of the century because of this mysterious district ... in their eyes, we are just pawns that are prepared for sacrifice. What are we supposed to do? Zhao Yao, what do we do?¡±

    Even Old Cat was surprised by Roly Poly¡¯s exaggerated ims and thought, ¡°Did I really say that much just now?¡±

    Elizabeth rolled her eyes before mming her paw at Roly Poly¡¯s face, ¡°R*tard. What¡¯s the point of eating so much when you¡¯re so stupid? Isn¡¯t it obvious that the cat is lying? He is just a stupid swindler out to cheat our money.¡±

    ¡°Who is the one speaking?¡± Old Cat roared as his eyes swept from one corner to another. He stared suspiciously at Zhao Yao before whispering to himself, ¡°Why did I hear a female¡¯s voice?¡¯

    Elizabeth was oblivious to his roars and continued, ¡°Zhao Yao, don¡¯t listen to him. We can just tie him up before grilling him about the whereabouts of all the money.¡± Elizabeth got so excited that she had already craned her neck out of the tiny gap in the cat bag, with both her eyes staring viciously at Old Cat.

    ¡°We will squeeze him dry of every dor and cent that he has!¡±

    Zhao Yao simply responded with a grin when Elizabeth¡¯s words rang in his head. A glimmer of red light shed across his eyes. Instantly, Old Cat had lost control over his own body to Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Take back all your powers and abilities!¡±

    ¡°Remove the effects of your powers!¡±

    With these two instructionsid out, Old Cat¡¯s power was finally lifted off of the two apostles. They could finally hear their own thoughts and could vividly feel a heavy load lifted from their bodies. The weird thoughts which lingered in their minds had also disappeared.

    Old Cat¡¯s face began to scrunch up even more. He wanted to open his mouth so badly but it was futile. Elizabeth¡¯s power was especially potent against Old Cat, which had the tendency to act in whatever manner he deemed fit.

    This was the first time he had actually experienced despair his entire life.

    ¡°How could this have happened? Is his power of control stronger than mine?¡±

    Purple Sabre Fairy was so happy that he had finally regained control over his body. He immediately copsed to his knees and kowtowed relentlessly to Zhao Yao, ¡°Thank you for your help. I am the vice president of Ivory. How do I address you?¡±

    Lin Chen could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He looked towards the headless horseman and eximed, ¡°Thanks, headless ... warrior, if not for you, we would have died in the hands of that stupid cat. Anyway, do not let that stupid cat speak. Even though I¡¯m not entirely sure of the mechanism behind it, that guy seems to have the ability to control other¡¯s behavior through his words.¡±

    Sonia rushed forward to Zhao Yao immediately. Something seemed to be troubling her.

    ¡°This is troublesome.¡± Zhao Yao curled his lips in annoyance. He was in no mood to talk to anyone with the heaps of experience points waiting for him to harvest.

    Hence, Zhao Yao simply snapped his fingers and robbed everyone of their five senses as their lifeless bodies copsed on the cold hard ground.

    A smile crept up his face as he stared at the sea of people lying unconsciously on the floor and muttered, ¡°Mission sess.¡±

    With the help of deflective field, he began transporting all these people out of the vige. He could not help but jump for joy when he noticed his skyrocketing experience points.

    The experience point came pouring into Zhao Yao¡¯s BOOK as he delivered the victims from the vige back to their loved ones. This trip alone had earned Zhao Yao 3000 experience points. With the ¡®X2 Exp Card¡¯ in effect, the experience pointsted increased to 6000 instantaneously.

    Hence, Zhao Yao¡¯s book now reflected BOOK: lv5 (12608/10000).

    ¡°Good, good, good! Now, I have more than enough points to upgrade my book! I never expected this district of scammers to be my lucky star!¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes then drifted towards Xiao Ming, who remained unconscious. Another 1000*2 experience points awaited him the moment he sessfully delivered Xiao Ming back to Jiangmen City.

    ¡°But there¡¯s still the issue of Old Cat and extracting more intel regarding this entire saga in Chuan Xiao.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s original n was to secretly infiltrate the ce and rescue the hostages. From there, he would collect intel on the sly before capturing Old Cat in one fell swoop.

    He never expected toe face to face with Old Cat in a direct confrontation, which resulted in a deviation from his original n.

    ¡°I have no idea if the intel extracted from this interrogation would even me any experience points.¡±

    However, things were not as bad as it seemed. With Old Cat captured in his hands, Zhao Yao had sessfullypleted the mission to capture the leader of Chuan Xiao District, earning him 500*2 experience points and a bag of royal catmint.

    Immediately, Zhao Yao knew that the bag of royal catmint was not as simple as it seemed. It definitely possessed some sort of special powers like the ¡®X2 Exp Card¡¯, ¡®Explosive Card¡¯, or even that adorable dress.

    In the blink of an eye, the bag of catmint had miraculously appeared in his hands.

    ¡°So this is the reward which I have busted my ass for?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s prying eyes scrutinized the reward in his hand. Evidently, the producers of the catmint had carefully ground it to powder for easy consumption. From a certain angle, it would even reflect the light in a certain manner which produced a faint golden glow.

    Furthermore, even though it was still sealed within a stic bag, a whiff of aromatic smell still managed to spread into its surroundings. Just a whiff of that scent relieved Zhao Yao of all the bodily aches suffered from the fight.

    What intrigued Zhao Yao more was the description written at the bottom of the packaging.

    ¡°The royal catmint is a delicacy reserved for the cat kings. One bite of it would increase the cat¡¯s level by one.¡±

    ¡°Upgrade by one level?¡± Beams of excitement shot out of Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes as he calcted, ¡°That means it will be more worthwhile to use this item when the cat is at a higher level.¡±

    Even though the catmint was perfect in every manner, Zhao Yao had no idea what to do with it for the moment. Hence, he immediately stashed it within his extradimensional belly, ordering Dust Ball to look over it with her life.

    ¡°Dust Ball, do not allow any cats toe near this catmint. If anyone dares toe close to it, beat them till they can¡¯t even walk.¡±

    Dust Ball nodded her head diligently with a smug stered on her face. When Zhao Yao turned his head around, he was greeted by the sight of Uncle Egg, Airne, Catherina, and Diana all gathered behind him with saliva trickling down their lips and their eyes glued to the catmint. It looked exactly like the scene taken from the Walking Dead.

    Upon receiving the goods from Zhao Yao, Dust Ball immediately clutched it tightly against her chest before eximing, ¡°I will devour this bag of catmint if anyone tries toe close to it!¡±

    Uncle Egg retorted, ¡°How is that considered taking care of the catmint? You are just using it for yourself!¡±

    Dust Ball mmed her paw against the ground and roared, ¡°I¡¯m repeating myself! Do note near me! If not, I¡¯ll eat everything inside it!¡±

    Airne quivered with indignation as he roared, ¡°Zhao Yao would never forgive you if you do it!¡±

    A sly grin crept up Dust Ball¡¯s face as she exined, ¡°I¡¯ll just tell him that all you ferocious beastsid a trap on me. In order to protect the catmint, I had no choice but to eat them and protect it with my stomach and skin.¡±

    Uncle Egg gritted his teeth and roared, ¡°You corrupt piece of shit!¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao still had no clue on how to deal with the experience points and catmint. His current n was to consolidate all the money and points beforeing up with his next move.

    However, the moment he left his extradimensional belly, he witnessed the trio of Elizabeth, Ares and Roly Poly shouting incessantly at Old Cat.

    With one paw pressed against his head, Elizabeth shouted, ¡°Speak! Where did you hide all that money?¡±

    Ares pounded against his chest and roared, ¡°Where are all the supercats which you have scammed? Where have you hidden them?¡±

    ¡°Old guy, how dare you scam me?¡± Roly Poly thrust his paw into Old Cat¡¯s wobbly stomach and rammed against it with all his strength, ¡°I, Roly Poly, abhor cats that lie to me!¡±

    ¡°Alright, that¡¯s enough!¡± Zhao Yao rushed over and instantly separated the three crazy cats from Old Cat. Old Cat was quivering in pain and exhaustion from the ordeal which he had just gone through. A ck paw print left behind by Elizabeth¡¯s paw remained freshly imprinted on his face.

    A frown appeared on Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he muttered, ¡°Why is Elizabeth¡¯s paw so dirty? I think it¡¯s time to give her nails and fur a trim and give her a good bath.¡±

    The fur on a ragdoll¡¯s body was particrly longpared to other cats. This also included the fur on its paw. With their paws trampling across all types of terrain, it was natural that it would turn extremely dirty and smelly.

    Zhao Yao grabbed Old Cat by the neck before dangling him non-stop, ¡°Old guy, are you awake? Tell me, where are all the money? Speak now or you¡¯ll regret.¡±

    Old Cat gritted his teeth and mumbled, ¡°I ... I do not have any cash with me. All of them have been deposited into my bank ount ...¡±

    Before he could evenplete his statement, Zhao Yao had mmed his hands into Old Cat¡¯s mouth, turning his words into indistinct meows.

    Zhao Yao shook his head dejectedly and exined, ¡°Do you take me for an idiot? I know about your power that allows you to control others with your obnoxious words. From now on, you are only allowed to reply with a single word. If you break this rule, I¡¯ll set these cats on you, without restraint.¡±

    Roly Poly threw his paw in the air, revealing those razor-sharp ws. He began to lick those menacing ws as he spoke, ¡°These ws have been through shit, pee and other atrocious objects for the past week. If I identally cut your skin with it, I have no idea how many diseases you will be afflicted with ... meowhahaha.¡±

    Just one lick caused Roly Poly¡¯s body to shudder as his forehead creased together, ¡°This smells so bad.¡±

    Meanwhile, Old Cat nodded his head in response to reflect his willingness to co-operate. Only then did Zhao Yao release his grips and asked, ¡°Is that a yes or no?¡±

    Old Cat thought about it for a long time before muttering that word, yes.

    A sly grin crept up Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he uttered, ¡°Don¡¯t look all dejected because of what I¡¯ve said. I¡¯ve gotten all my information from ck Panther who told me about the heaps of money which you have stashed behind. If you choose to cooperate, I can ensure that you leave this ce unscathed. If not, I cannot control what my three friends here will actually do.¡±

    Old Cat swept his head behind and noticed the pairs of razor-sharp ws waving in the air.

    Old Cat whispered to himself, ¡°ck Panther that snitch.¡± He could literally feel Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes stared right into his soul, causing his chest to tighten with fear. Left with no better options, he could only acquiesce to Zhao Yao¡¯s unreasonable request.

    Hence, Zhao Yao and gang followed Old Cat to the biggest mansion in the entire Chuan Xiao District. Inside it, Old Cat tore open the leather covering of the sofa to reveal the stacks of cash hidden within it.

    Zhao Yao had difficulty grasping just how much cash there were. There was at least RMB 100,000 there.

    Zhao Yao was no stranger to such extraordinary sights. Hence, his breathing only hastened slightly when he saw it. However, the same could not be said for Elizabeth and Roly Poly.

    With a loud thud, the two cats had plunged themselves into the depths of notes, reveling in their new-found fortune.

    After spending so much time in the human world, they knew exactly just how powerful money was. However, Ares was still oblivious to its significance since the majority of his time was spent in the belly yingputer game.

    Old Cat rolled his eyes as he observed the two obnoxious cats swimming within the piles of cash while screaming at the top of their voice. He muttered, ¡°Those two country bumpkins.¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao continued by saying, ¡°What about the rest of the cash?¡±

    Old Cat¡¯s eyebrows locked together as he replied, ¡°That¡¯s all.¡±

    Bam!

    Roly Poly pounced into the air before plunging his ws into Old Cat¡¯s back. Instantly, five bloodied w wounds appeared starkly against Old Cat¡¯s beautiful fur.

    Noticing Old Cat¡¯s startled look, Roly Poly responded with a shrug of his shoulders as he exined, ¡°Who told you to reply with more than one word?¡±

 Chapter 356: The Hostages!

    <h4>Chapter 356: The Hostages!</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Old Cat¡¯s temple throbbed with anger as he could not imagine this lowlife brat (Roly Poly) ridiculing him. In his eyes, Roly Poly was neither smart, handsome or even cute. Old Cat could have easily torn him to pieces.

    However, that thought vanished into thin air the moment Old Cat noticed the headless man at the corner of his eyes. He could only bottle his throbbing anger indignantly. Somehow, he identally twisted his back which caused a searing pain to puncture his body, causing him to copse against the ground.

    ¡°D*mn it, this fat cat did not bother to hold back at all.¡±

    Meanwhile, Roly Poly¡¯s attention was all fixed on his meaty paws as he muttered, ¡°Is this the sensation that Matcha gets when he ps me? To be able to leverage on Zhao Yao¡¯s strength and punch these stupid fools indiscriminately is truly the best feeling in the world!¡±

    Roly Poly noticed the hateful eyes staring straight at him. He simply reciprocated with another re and asked, ¡°Who do you think you are looking at? Don¡¯t think that I would hesitate to hit you just because of your age. I will not discriminate any cats based on their age.¡±

    Rage swept over him as those insolent words rang in Old Cat¡¯s head. However, Zhao Yao had sent another p across his face as he questioned, ¡°Where is the rest of the money? This is myst chance for you. If you refuse to hand them over, I have no choice but to sterilize you.¡±

    Old Cat was barely able to breathe when he heard those threats. His fur stood on ends as Zhao Yao continued, ¡°Do you know what happens to a supercat when it is castrated? Not only will you lose your power, you will also lose your intellect and your basic ability to procreate. A sterilized male cat is discriminated by everyone, even those ordinary dumb cats. The transition from a supercat to an ordinary eunuch cat is as good as a drop from heaven to hell.¡±

    To enhance the dramatic effects, Roly Poly began to saunter around Old Cat suspensefully. Roly Poly began to measure Old Cat¡¯s size and position and would even dangle his paws in the air from time to time.

    Old Cat could not take this torment as all his fur began to drop to the ground. With his body quivering in fear, he whispered, ¡°Yes.¡±

    Bam! Roly Poly pounced onto his hapless victim and swept his paws against his vitals, causing him to writhe in pain. His face was inplete agony as Old Cat roared at Roly Poly, ¡°What was that for? I already agreed to your requests! I¡¯m giving you the money!¡±

    Roly Poly bashfully plunged his head into his chest and whispered, ¡°I¡¯m sorry I thought you were agreeing to the sterilization.¡± A thought suddenly dawned on Roly Poly. In a blink of an eye, three new bloodied wounds appeared across Old Cat¡¯s chest as a deafening shriek exploded.

    Roly Poly raised his shoulders in a half shrug when he noticed Old Cat¡¯s agonizing expression, ¡°Who told you to reply using more than one word?¡±

    Old Cat had no idea if the trembling was caused by the intense pain or throbbing anger at that moment. He only managed to say one word, ¡°Go.¡± He took a few steps forward before sweeping his head towards Zhao Yao, gesturing them to follow behind.

    Hence, Zhao Yao quickly stashed the heaps of cash within his belly before catching up to Old Cat.

    The journey was a tumultuous one as they finally reached a tiny cabin perched on the top of a knoll.

    Zhao Yao did everything ording to Old Cat¡¯s instructions. Firstly, he pushed the giant bed to a corner which revealed a secret door, leading to an underground bunker.

    Piles of cash were neatly stacked on top of one another in the middle of the room. There was at least RMB 1,000,000 worth of cash lying there.

    This time around, even Zhao Yao sumbed to its temptations as beams of excitement shot right out of his eyes.

    ¡°So much money? Elizabeth was the first to act as she pounced forward before burying her body inside it and relishing in the fragrance of cash. This was even better than catmint.

    Roly Poly had trouble controlling his breathing as he whispered to himself, ¡°With this cash, I can buy all the fried chickens, Elizabeth, Diana in the world!¡±

    ¡°Everyone, calm down!¡± Zhao Yao ordered as he threw his hands in the air. By stretching his mouth wide open, he had instantaneously absorbed all the money into his belly. He then proceeded to exin his actions, ¡°It¡¯s safe to keep the money with me.¡±

    Elizabeth¡¯s brows snapped together as she retorted, ¡°Zhao Yao, we took down this district together. How dare you try to take all the money for yourself!¡±

    ¡°Silly kid,¡± Zhao Yao bent next to her before running his fingers through her snow-white fur, ¡°You guys are far too young to handle this amount of money. Furthermore, you have no means of creating your own bank ount. I will help the both of you create one before depositing the money inside it. You can even earn interests from it! I will then pass the ount to you when you are both mature enough to handle this fortune.¡±

    The skeptical look remained on both their faces. Evidently, they weren¡¯t particrly convinced by Zhao Yao¡¯s ims.

    Zhao Yao pretended to be angry when he noticed those cynical stares and eximed, ¡°Are you afraid that I¡¯ll take this money for myself? Come on! Think about it! Where did all the money for your food, water, and lodginge from? Do you think I am actually interested in pocketing your share of the money? I¡¯m just trying to help youy a foundation for your future. Do you think you can afford the expenses when you marry, give birth to kittens and buy beautiful cat towers for them?

    Elizabeth, all you know is to plunge your head in those stupid dramas. How can you survive if I don¡¯t help you save some money? Roly Poly, you are worse. With your appetite, even this money cannot support you for life. How are you supposed to find a spouse then?¡±

    Even though they remained skeptical about Zhao Yao¡¯s motives, they still relented under the pressure of Zhao Yao¡¯s screams. They could only watch as the money disappeared into his belly.

    Old Cat, which had a front row seat to this family drama, beganughing andmented, ¡°Those two fools. At the end of the day, they are simply ves to this man!¡±

    Bam!

    A looming shadow appeared at the corner of his eyes. Before he could even react, Old Cat had already noticed the five new bloodied scars on his body. His eyes immediately darted towards Roly Poly. That pair of eyes were filled with shock, indignation, and anger. Finally, he managed to utter a word, ¡°Why?¡±

    Roly Poly sniggered, ¡°DIdn¡¯t you say ha ha when youughed?¡±

    Every possible profanity flooded his mind at this point. Old Cat decided that he would not reply to any question which did note out of Zhao Yao¡¯s mouth.

    After settling the money, Zhao Yao looked towards Old Cat once more and asked, ¡°Alright, what about the supercats which you have scammed here? Where are they?¡±

    A few minutester, Old Cat had led the gang to a marvelous vi hidden in the depths of the mountains. A whiff of catmint sted their senses the moment they opened the door to the vi. The air was enveloped with cat fur and the remains of the catmint.

    Amidst this mess, Zhao Yao could make out the conversationsing from within. He strained his eyes and noticed the shadows huddled over a table through the fog of cat fur and catmint.

    ¡°Pung!¡±

    ¡°How do you even dare toe out and y with your standard? You should just go home and y with your wife.¡±

    ¡°Just get this over and done with. I still have dinner waiting for me at home.¡±

    ¡°Oh, Hu! Guys, thanks for your kind donation!¡±

    A female cat noticed Old Cat standing by the door and announced, ¡°Old Cat, you are just in time! Xiao Dong, that shit machine is shitting again! Can you take over him for a short while?¡±

    The cacophony of the shing of the tiles and the incessant chatting flooded this mansion. The air was filled with the smell of catmint which would instantly choke anyone who was not used to it.

    With his brows locked together, Zhao Yao looked towards Old Cat and asked, ¡°So this is your method to keep them here? You are truly despicable.¡±

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Faced with Zhao Yao¡¯s usation, Old Cat¡¯s body instantly quivered with indignation as he answered, ¡°But ...¡± There was so much that he wanted to say but he couldn¡¯t. With Roly Poly pouncing on every avable opportunity to smack him, Old Cat could only ept the usation, albeit unwillingly.

    In his head, he was screaming at the top of his voice, ¡°God d*mn it, how could he do this to me, a cat which loves to talk! I¡¯ll turn autistic sooner orter if this continues!¡±

    Zhao Yao peered through the thick fog of smoke and observed the supercats reveling in their hedonistic lifestyle. Zhao Yao tried putting an end to this debauchery by screaming, ¡°Everyone, I have defeated Old Cat. From now on, all of you are free to return to your own homes!¡±

    All the cats simultaneously swept their heads towards Zhao Yao as his voice rang in their heads. A chorus of meows followed immediately.

    ¡°Are you stupid? How can I leave without winning back all my money?¡±

    ¡°How can I possibly leave now? Just look at how lucky I am! No one in the right mind would leave with my luck.¡±

    ¡°Rhino, how dare you even think about leaving after winning all my money? You are not allowed to leave!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s words caused a ruckus to break out amongst the supercats. However, that was all it managed to achieve. Every cat was bent on staying behind to either recoup their loss or further their winnings.

    A few sensible supercats realized that this was their chance to escape this decadent lifestyle and jumped on the opportunity to do so. However, they were immediately dragged back by the remaining supercats, preventing them from leaving.

    At that point, Zhao Yao knew that it was impossible to convince them with words or logic.

    He propped his chin on his hand and began to think. Suddenly, he started to shout at all the cats, ¡°Seriously, are you guys still ying mahjong? Do you know how outdated you are? What¡¯s the point of winning that small amount of money from your friends?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s words immediately caught the cats¡¯ attention as they looked towards him with eyes which were sparkling with anticipation. Zhao Yao continued, ¡°Haven¡¯t you guys heard of Macau? Many casinos in Macau have already expanded their business online. You can have pretty dealers ying with you instead of these obnoxious cats.

    All you have to do is to connect to the inte at home and you can begin gambling! Hundreds of thousands are lost or won in a matter of seconds. Isn¡¯t that way more exciting than this?¡±

    The cats¡¯ ears trembled to Zhao Yao¡¯s words. Zhao Yao hadmanded theirplete attention with his introduction of Macau¡¯s online gambling industry.

    Suddenly, a cat shot his paw in the air and asked, ¡°How do you ess the inte? I don¡¯t know how to do it.¡±

    ¡°You can do so with a phone.¡± Zhao Yao said as he waved his phone in the air, ¡°With this, you can win money regardless of where you are.¡±

    ¡°But I lost all my money to these cats! I have no money left to buy a phone!¡±

    ¡°You can borrow.¡± Zhao Yao tapped on his inte browser and introduced to the cats, ¡°Just take a look. All these websites are waiting for you to borrow money from them.

    You can start borrowing money after a simple registration. With an ount, you can borrow up to RMB 10,000. The money will be transferred to your bank ount within 10 minutes. Furthermore, ites with zero interest and zero administrative charges. Also, there¡¯s no cap on the number of transactions each day. You can borrow as much as you want and gamble to your heart¡¯s content.

    ¡°Are you serious? How can such a wonderful thing exist in the world?¡± All their eyes were sparkling with excitement at this point.

    ¡°What¡¯s the point of lying to you? I managed to borrow RMB 100,000 using this exact method. After that, I visited the online gambling site and turned my worth to RMB 10,000,000 in the blink of an eye. Also, the police have been alerted to the scams in Chuan Xiao District. They will be sending people over to sweep the ce. All of you will be thrown behind bars if they caught you gambling.¡±

    Zhao Yao noticed the hesitation and continued his relentless marketing, ¡°What are you waiting for? Just go back home right now and start borrowing money on your phone. You can then gamble to your heart¡¯s desire with no one stopping you.¡±

    At the same time, Zhao Yao had used his illusion to mimic the wail of the police siren. Chaos immediately broke out as the cats scattered in all directions. In a split second, every single cat had vanished, leaving the ce in a horrible state with catmint and mahjong tiles strewn all over the ce.

    ¡°Done,¡± Zhao Yao announced with a smug on his face. Just when he was about to leave, he noticed two pairs of eyes staring straight at him, with a phone dangling by their paws.

    ¡°What was the website that you mentioned?¡± Roly Poly asked with a grin stretching from one ear to another, ¡°I can¡¯t believe such kind people, who are willing to lend money to cats, actually exist in this world.¡±

    ¡°I want to borrow some money! Hmph? Why is it asking for my proof of identity?¡± Elizabeth thought about it for a short while before demanding, ¡°Zhao Yao! Lend me your proof of identity! I¡¯ll be able to borrow RMB 5,000 with it!¡±

    His lips drew back into a frown as he mmed the two phones against the floor, ¡°Are you guys seriously intending to borrow money on these websites? Do you have any idea what unlicensed moneylending is? These bloodsuckers will charge an exorbitant interest from you. Your RMB 5,000 loan will explode into a RMB 50,000 loan in a matter of days!¡±

    ¡°I can choose not to return them the money!¡± Elizabeth retorted as she crossed her arms over her chest.

    ¡°If you refuse, they¡¯lle knocking ...¡± While Zhao Yao was exining, his lips began to curl upwards, revealing a sly grin. However, he immediately shook his head as he continued, ¡°No, no. No matter what, both of you are not allowed to visit this website. Do you understand?¡±

    Zhao Yao finally left the vi after rounds and rounds of reminder. However, Roly Poly¡¯s eyes would gravitate towards his phone from time to time. A glimmer of excitement would even sh across his eyes.

    Zhao Yao then took a look at the mission panel on his BOOK. Other than Xiao Ming, he had already rescued every single person out of Chuan Xiao District. After rescuing the supercats from this atrocious ce, Zhao Yao hadted 750*2 experience points. The capture of Old Cat earned him another 500*2 experience points.

    Currently, Zhao Yao¡¯s BOOK read BOOK: lv5(15108/10000).

    Hahahaha! Zhao Yao was overwhelmed with happiness when he nced at the heaps of experience points he had umted. He couldn¡¯t wait to use them on his BOOK and cats. However, he knew that this was not the best time to do so. Firstly, the environment was extremely dangerous. Secondly, he had to carefully n the allocation of the experience points to ensure the most effective optimization.

    Currently, only one mission remained: collect intel on Chuan Xiao District. Based on the description, the reward was dependent on the amount of intel collected, ranging from 10 to 1000 experience points.

    Zhao Yao nced at the mission panel and realized that the mission was alreadypleted. However, the absence of the green tick next to it suggested that it had not reached the 100%pletion rate.

    His eyes then slowly drifted towards Old Cat, which immediately reciprocated with the most amiable smile he could possibly muster.

    ¡°I have found the money and saved the cats. Yet, the mission is not 100%pleted. That simply means there is intel waiting for me to extract.¡±

    With the thought lingering in his head, Zhao Yao cooked his head towards Old Cat before asking, ¡°I suggest you answer truthfully to my question. If not, I dare not imagine what will happen to you. Is there anything which you have forgotten to inform me?¡¯

    ¡°No!¡± Old Cat shook his head so violently that his head almost snapped off.

    Zhao Yao thought about it before continuing, ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s rather hard for you to say anything constructive with the one-word restriction.¡±

    Old Cat nodded his head violently, with excitement pouring out of his eyes. In his head, he was thinking, ¡°Hmph, as long as you let me speak, I will make sure I let you go through 10 times the humiliation which I have endured!¡±

    ¡°I have just the solution.¡± Zhao Yao roared as he pped himself on his thigh, ¡°I need you to write a 10,000 words report.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s words left Old Catpletely dumbfounded.

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°The 10,000 words count does not include the punctuations used. Remember to report every single detail to me. Don¡¯t bother to hide the truth from me.¡±

    Meanwhile, Roly Poly continued leveraging on Zhao Yao¡¯s superiority, ¡°Hey, did you hear what Zhao Yao said? Be 100% honest with your report! We will never wrong an innocent man, but neither will we allow the bad guy to escape scot-free. Do the right thing.¡±

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°It¡¯s almost 12 pm already. I want the report to be in by 9 pm. If not, I¡¯ll expect a 20,000 words report tomorrow morning.¡±

    With a pen and paper in his hand, Old Cat was immediately thrown into solitary confinement within the extradimensional belly.

    Now, Zhao Yao was left with the troubling task of bringing Xiao Ming and Red Packet back to Jiangmen City.

    A few minutester, hordes of military trucks started streaming into the ce. In a split second, Chuan Xiao District bad beenpletely locked down by the military. Finally, Zhao Yao was no longer responsible for anything within that ce.

    With Xiao Ming slung across his back, Zhao Yao slowly walked to his car before disappearing into the highway back home. For the first time in thest few months, Xiao Ming could finally look forward to a better tomorrow.

    Those days spent in Chuan Xiao District were definitely the darkest periods of his life. However, things were about to change. He was finally going to return home.

    Just the thought of it caused the corner of his lips to curl upwards as he looked towards Zhao Yao.

    He threw his body forward and sped tightly against Zhao Yao¡¯s hands, ¡°Master, thank you so much. My future would have been gone if not for you.¡±

    Zhao Yao simply responded with a nonchnt nod of his head. His eyes were glued to his BOOK as he began nning his next move.

    By bringing Xiao Ming back to Jiangmen City, he had earned another 1000*2 experience points, instantly turning his BOOK to lv5(17108/10000).

    Just one minuteter, the car came to a sudden halt by the road shoulder. Zhao Yao mmed open his car door before throwing Xiao Ming out with a kick to his butt.

    ¡°Master? What are you doing? We haven¡¯t even reached yet! There isn¡¯t even a bus stop nearby!¡±

    ¡°You are old enough to think of a way home. I still have some business to attend to, so I don¡¯t have time to send you back.¡±

    Xiao Ming¡¯s hopes werepletely dashed when he heard the revving of the engine. However, Zhao Yao suddenly unwound his windows which brought a giant grin across Xiao Ming¡¯s face, ¡°Master ...¡±

    ¡°Do not forget about the RMB 50,000,000. You can forget about the interest on ount of our friendship but try to return the money ASAP.¡±

    A muscle twitched in Xiao Ming¡¯s jaw as he replied, ¡°I think ... I would need quite some time to raise that amount ...¡±

    ¡°Why do u need quite some time for this? Stop immersing your head in those silly ideas about superpowers and what not. Just look at you now, these stupid thoughtsnded you in Chuan Xiao District. Just focus your attention on returning me my money.¡±

    With that, Zhao Yao had already winded his windows as his car disappeared into the horizons in the blink of an eye.

    Looking at Zhao Yao¡¯s taillights disappearing from his sight, Xiao Ming could literally feel a ten-ton weight sinking into his body.

    ¡°RMB 50,000,000 ...¡±

    This was an astronomical sum even for Xiao Ming. Furthermore, Zhao Yao was someone he could never default his payments from. His originally bright and promising future had instantly morphed into a gloomy and hopeless one because of this piece of bad news.

    Xiao Ming felt the weight of this news crushing through his body as he let out a long sigh, ¡°Why do I feel that I was happier when I was back in Chuan Xiao District ...¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s Panamera sped through the highway as he made his way home. He didn¡¯t even bother to stop by his caf¨¦. After all, he had already applied for an entire day of leave. One thought hadpletely upied his mind at the moment: to return home and pump his points to his BOOK and cats.

    With his Panamera parked in the usual spot, Zhao Yao sprinted up the staircase with a spring in his steps. The scene which greeted him when he swung open his door left him bbergasted. The ce was in aplete mess.

    Lightning was cuddling with a stray cat inside a pot Zhao Yao used to prepare their meals. Their bodies were totally intertwined together as they continued their public disy of affection.

    When the sound of the swinging door rang in their ears, both cats immediately swept their heads towards it. Lightning felt as if a gust of liquid nitrogen had just sted through his body, freezing his blood in an instant.

    Bam! Bam! Piack! Piack! Poom! Poom!

    With a shrilling shriek, the stray cat had escaped from Zhao Yao¡¯s apartment. Meanwhile, Lightning had copsed to the floor with his face swollen beyond any recognizable means. Lightning looked towards Zhao Yao and exined, ¡°I can exin. This stray cat suddenly appeared in our house and tried to steal our belongings. I immediately retaliated and fought against her with every ounce of strength and energy I could muster. We fought from the living room to the bedroom, from the bedroom to the kitchen. Our fight finally culminated in the cooking pot ...¡±

    Bam! Zhao Yao¡¯s palm flew across andnded squarely on his swollen cheeks. Casting a death re at Lightning, Zhao Yao instructed, ¡°I want you to clean the entire apartment and restore it to its usual state. From today onwards, you are not allowed to bring any stray cats home. Do you understand?¡±

    Lightning was writhing in pain but managed to squeeze out a smile as he answered, ¡°I understand.¡±

    Zhao Yao gave an approving nod as he watched Lighting began to clean up the apartment with a tiny broom sticking out from his tiny mouth. With everything under control, Zhao Yao retreated to his bedroom for the main event ¨C upgrade time.

    Firstly, he took a look at the contents of his BOOK.

    BOOK: lv5(17108/10000)

    Matcha: lv6(1270/10000)

    Elizabeth: lv6(500/10000)

    Dust Ball: lv6(1350/10000)

    Ares: lv5(500/5000)

    Lucifer: lv5(500/5000)

    A thought shed across his head as he pondered over the situation, ¡°With this amount of experience points, I am able to simultaneously upgrade both Matcha and Ares. However ...¡±

    His eyes darted towards his BOOK and his mission panel as he reflected, ¡°However if I upgrade my BOOK, I would be able to recruit another cat into my team. This would be another missionpleted,ting me another 2000*2 experience points.¡±

    Currently, Zhao Yao¡¯s main mission would reward him with 2000 experience points for the sixth cat recruited into his team. With the ¡®X2 Exp Card¡¯ in effect, the points would instantly skyrocket to 4000. Including his current experience points, he would be able to upgrade either Matcha or Elizabeth after upgrading his BOOK.

    ¡°I guess the smarter move would be to upgrade the BOOK first.¡±

    With his decisions all panned out, Zhao Yao tapped on the upgrade button next to his BOOK. Instantly, he felt waves of electric currents pulsating through his body. His heart began to pound rapidly against his chest, causing ayer of sweat to umte on his skin.

    This unique phenomenon onlysted for not more than a minute. Soon, he was totally oblivious to the feelings already. Currently, his body had infused Lucifer¡¯s body qualities as well. He could acutely detect the difference in the speed of his movements and reactions. Other than his keen sense of awareness, his strength and speed had also exceeded the limits of the human body.

    ¡°The effects were not as significant this time around. I guess my body had truly gotten stronger. I am no longer as exhausted from this ritual.¡±

    Zhao Yao had finally acquired ¡®five is better than four¡¯. His attention was channeled back to his BOOK as he realized a new section appearing before him. Other than the mission panel, cat panel, and the diamond hall, he could finally ess the delegation panel.

    ¡°Delegation?¡± Through the upgrading, his BOOK had earned another new power. This piqued Zhao Yao¡¯s interest as he started to read through the description.

    A wide and broad grin crept up Zhao Yao¡¯s face soon enough. To put it simply, the delegation panel allowed Zhao Yao to assign one of the cats recruited under him to take his ce in the missions.

    In other words, Zhao Yao could hand over the authority ofpleting the missions to any supercats in his team. However, the points earned frompleting these missions could only be spent on the cats themselves and could not be allocated to the BOOK.

    However, their involvement was slowly confined to the execution of the mission. The pumping of the experience points and choosing of the ability branches were still exclusively restricted to Zhao Yao.

    ¡°This is interesting.¡± Zhao Yao muttered with a beaming smile, ¡°This means that I can simply rx at the caf¨¦ while I dispatch the cats out for a mission. All I have to do is to upgrade them when enough points are umted.¡±

    Joy filled him like sunshine at the thought of him rxing at home while his cats were slogging their guts out in the wild, acquiring some hard-earned experience points.

    However, he was immediately brought back to reality when he realized just how unruly Matcha, Elizabeth, Dust Ball and Ares behaved. To be able to send them out for missions would be a herculean task.

    ¡°Some proper nning must be done to ensure the smooth execution of this.¡± Zhao Yao whispered to himself while he focused his attention back on his BOOK.

    ¡°Next, I have to choose which cat to recruit to the team.¡±

    Suddenly, thebination of all the cats¡¯ unique abilities started to flood his mind. All the differentbinations and groupings started to form a distinct picture in his head.

    After much consideration, Zhao Yao concluded, ¡°Sphynx Cat¡¯s power is still the strongest amongst them all.¡±

 Chapter 359: Training

    <h4>Chapter 359: Training</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Sphynx Cat¡¯s unique ability would endow his apostles with a body no ordinary humans could possibly achieve. Even if the power was removed from the apostle, its effects would still remain.

    To Zhao Yao, this was as good as wielding two powers simultaneously ¨C the power of a god-like body and another power of his choice.

    Zhao Yao believed that Sphynx Cat had slowly grown ustomed to the life inside the belly since arriving here months ago. Hence, he was somewhat confident to restrain and subdue him at this point.

    ¡°My vitality and strength would instantly increase by a few folds. The only downside was its stupid side-effect,¡± Zhao Yao grunted as he propped his chin on his hand, ¡°... am I gonna turn gay?¡±

    Despite his vehement belief in his ¡®straightness¡¯ and his immunity to its side effects, Zhao Yao dared not take the risk because of how strong he was.

    If something happened to Baiquan or Zhao Xue, Zhao Yao could forcefully readjust their sexual orientation with his brute power. However, who would be there to stop him if something happened to him? A disastrous fate awaited Jiangmen should Zhao Yao turned into a gay and establish the second Muscle Society.

    For the sake of Jiangmen and himself, Zhao Yao decided to recruit Sphynx Cat but abstain from all sorts of training. Conversely, he would force Sphynx Cat to train on his own and improve his physical strength. Hence, the effects of this training would transfer over when Zhao Yao recruited the next cat into his BOOK with ¡®six is better than five¡¯.

    ¡°Based on my observation, this would be a far wiser mover than to train using Sphynx Cat¡¯s power and pray that everything would turn out fine. Afterbining five cats¡¯ power into my body, other than the increase in strength, agility, dexterity, my appearance, personality remained the same. This is definitely the safest option.¡±

    ¡°However, this is a one-off approach. How much I manage to gain is 100% dependent on Sphynx Cat¡¯s strength at that exact moment. From then on, Sphynx Cat¡¯s gain in strength would have zero rtions with me. I¡¯m afraid I have to buy as much time as possible for Sphynx Cat to strengthen himself and maximize the power gained.¡±

    ¡°Previously, I was hesitant to allow Sphynx Cat to train for fear that it would overpower me. With my new found strength, there is nothing that I have to worry about.¡±

    In that case, Sphynx Cat¡¯s loyalty would not affect the probability of Zhao Yao sessfully utilizing his powers. In the meantime, Baiquan and Zhao Xue could continue borrowing his power to enhance their strength, while Zhao Yao observed from the sidelines.

    With this thought lingering in his head, Zhao Yao had already shoved himself into the belly, appearing right next to Sphynx Cat.

    Currently, Ares and Sphynx Cat had huddled together into a ball. From time to time, his tongue would run across Ares¡¯s fur as Sphynx Cat purred in delight.

    However, the feelings were definitely not mutual. Ares shot him a disdainful re before muttering, ¡°Can you put some strength into it? Haven¡¯t you eaten already?¡±

    ¡°Yes ...¡±Sphynx Cat replied in an astoundingly gentle voice as a bashful smile appeared on his face.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s sudden appearance startled Ares as he jumped to his feet and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Oh yes, when are you going to let us out? I have already finished all theputer games and animes you have given us.¡±

    Despite the variety of animes and mind-boggling games, this life still paled inparison to a life with the inte. Life without inte was as good as life without colors, devoid of the very element which made life beautiful and worth living.

    Zhao Yao gave a patronizing nod of his head and responded, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll look into it.¡± His eyes darted towards Sphynx Cat momentarily as cold sweat beaded his forehead. The current Sphynx Cat was a pr opposite of the original. Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes slid Ares a quick nce and suspected that he had no clue about Sphynx Cat¡¯s peculiarity.

    Hence, Zhao Yao left the belly and used a dagger to carefully slice across his finger, revealing a tiny wound oozing with blood. With the use of deflective field, Zhao Yao came forth to Sphynx Cat with the drop of blood in hand.

    ¡°Sphynx Cat, take this. It¡¯s the essence of god.¡±

    The smile disappeared from Sphynx Cat¡¯s face as he shot Zhao Yao a suspecting look. He then responded with a scoff, ¡°I¡¯m not interested, you can leave it for yourself instead.¡±

    Zhao Yao responded by enticing him, ¡°This will further increase your power by a few folds. You have no idea just how many cats crave for this ...¡±

    Sphynx Cat replied nonchntly, ¡°No.¡±

    The amiable smile also vanished from Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he spoke to Ares telepathically, ¡°Ares, if you can make him eat it, I will guarantee that you will be the first one out of this ce.¡±

    A glimmer shed across Ares¡¯s eyes but he doubted Zhao Yao¡¯s words. He then eximed, ¡°Do you think that I would be so na?ve as to believe in your promises?¡± Ares was a witness to Zhao Yao¡¯s lies and deceits in Chuan Xiao District. He knew what Zhao Yao was capable of. In his eyes, Zhao Yao was already synonymous with words such as fraud and deception.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead puckered together as he noticed a pile of gleaming objects at the corner of his eyes. He threw his arms forward and pointed straight at the pile of cash before eximing, ¡°That is my deposit! If I go against my words, you are free to tear these to shreds.¡±

    This was music to Ares. From the previous Chuan Xiao escapade, Ares had also learned just how important these piles of paper were to Zhao Yao. With these words thrown out, Ares was reassured that Zhao Yao would keep to his words.

    ¡°Deal.¡±

    The entire conversation was done telepathically. In a blink of an eye, a deal was struck. Ares¡¯s eyes drifted towards Sphynx Cat before ordering him in a cool, harsh voice, ¡°Eat it.¡±

    Tears shimmered in his eyes as he responded pitifully, ¡°Must I really eat this? I do not want to eat anything that came from this baddie.¡±

    ¡°Just listen to me.¡± Ares shot his meaty paws in the air before mming it against the back of Sphynx Cat¡¯s head, ¡°I do not like to hear all thisining.¡±

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll eat it.¡± Sphynx Cat forced his eyes shut before the essence of god slowly entered his slightly parted lips.

    ¡°That¡¯s great.¡± Zhao Yao announced with a thunderous apuse, ¡°Sphynx Cat, because of your wonderful performance since arriving in Cat Nation, I¡¯ll reward you with the opportunity to leave the cage and resume your training!¡±

    These words caught every single cat¡¯s attention. Their eyes were glued to Sphynx Cat with admiration. They wished that they were in his ce instead.

    Old Cat, whose head was buried in his reflection journal, slowly lifted his chin up as he knocked on his groggy head. He was perplexed by this absurd scene and muttered, ¡°What the hell are they doing?¡±

    In a far corner of the belly, Red Packet was scrutinizing Zhao Yao from head to toe. By then, Red Packet knew for sure that Zhao Yao was not a man to be trifled with. He thought, ¡°This man is a tant liar who woulde up with all sorts of lies to achieve his objective. Coupled with his insanely strong powers, he is definitely someone that I cannot mess around with.¡±

    Red Packet¡¯s original n was to scam Zhao Yao¡¯s money before escaping from him. However, this idea had long vanished from his head.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes drifted to the contents of his BOOK. As expected, Sphynx Cat was the sixth cat recruited under him. This also meant thepletion of his main mission,ting him 2000*2 experience points. Currently, his BOOK read lv6(11108/20000).

    The content of his main mission had also changed ordingly.

    Main Mission: Acquire more strength by recruiting new cats to your team.

    Objective: Recruit the seventh cat to your team and upgrade your book to level 7.

    Reward: 3000 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    Joy fluttered in Zhao Yao as he immediately threw 10+100+1000 experience points at Sphynx Cat, upgrading him to lv4 instantly.

    He took a nce at his BOOK and realized that he still had another 9992 experience points to spare. His eyes then slowly drifted to Matcha¡¯s status which read lv6(1270/10000).

    ¡°Hmph, with the BOOK upgraded and Sphynx Cat upgraded to level 4, I still have sufficient points to upgrade Matcha to level 7.¡±

    However, he still had some unfinished business with Sphynx Cat. His fingers tapped on the avable ability trees as his eyes slowly scanned the content. This was the first time he actually investigated Sphynx Cat¡¯s abilities.

 Chapter 360: Picking Skills

    <h4>Chapter 360: Picking Skills</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Super Training: Strengthen and fortify various parts and functions of the body through physical training.

    Zhao Yao unfurled three skill branches at once. He picked Heart Strengthening, Bones of Steel, and Titanium Tummy.

    Any kind of workout or exercise would help him grow stronger, faster. His skeletal system would be reinforced. His digestive system would function more efficiently and could even eliminate toxins or poisons that entered its tracts.

    As long as he kept training, the power would keep on giving.

    It would bring more than just improvements. It would bepletely transformative.

    ¡°The Sphynx would have to train everyday to reach those heights,¡± Zhao Yao thought.

    He needed to talk to the cat.

    He patiently exined the effects of these new-found abilities. The Sphynx listened, but he was doubtful. It sounded like a lot of hard work for powers that he could not even see.

    Zhao Yao did not worry about that. As long as the Sphynx started training, he would experience these changes first-hand. He would understand.

    And once he gained thebined powers of six cats, these transformations would be his too.

    ¡°I¡¯ll only level the Book after the Sphynx reaches a certain standard.¡±

    Havinge to a conclusion, Zhao Yao left the extradimensional belly happily. He then expended the rest of the experience points on Matcha, whom was upgraded to level 7.

    This extended the duration of TimeFreeze sevenfold. It stillsted 12 seconds, but for Zhao Yao, he had 84 seconds to use.

    A new branch was also unveiled on Matcha¡¯s skill tree. As usual, two choices were made avable ¨C Time Distortion (Intermediate) and Dust of Time.

    The former would reduce the cooldown duration of Time Distortion from 24 hours to just six while thetter would reduce the speed of other people.

    Zhao Yao did not hesitate to select Time Distortion (Intermediate).

    ¡°If there¡¯s an intermediate stage, there would be an advanced stage. The six hours could be reduced to just one, or even half an hour. I¡¯ll be unbeatable then. I could screw up multiple times and I still would not die.¡±

    It held so much potential that Zhao Yao¡¯s head was spinning. Self-preservation would no longer be much of an issue again.

    He heaved a sigh of relief.

    ¡°I¡¯ll just have to make sure the Sphynx keeps training and upgrade the Book when he¡¯s ready. And everything can finally go back to normal. Oh, wait, seems like there¡¯s a few more things I have to handle.¡±

    The things he was referring to were Old Cat, Red Packet, and the magical Royal Catmint.

    He had a pending task to collect intel from Old Cat, then think about how he can make good use of Red Packet¡¯s powers to raise the cafe¡¯s profits and rake in those experience points.

    As for the Royal Catmint, he decided not to use it for now. It was the kind of treasure that would grow more valuable theter it was used.

    For now, however, he did not want to start on any of that. He needed a little break, so he whipped out hisptop to do a bit of online shopping.

    ¡°Hmm, let¡¯s see if there¡¯s equipment the Sphynx can use to train.¡±

    The interwebs had no shortage of weights and fantastic equipment, but none of them were right.

    The Sphynx was remarkably strong. One swipe of his paw would feel like being smashed by a few tonnes of pressure. No normal training gear would be enough to help him grow stronger.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s online search proved futile, but an idea soon found its way into his head.

    ¡°I could just use...gravity.¡±

    He had once weighed the cat down with a force that was ten times the power of gravity. The additional pressure almost burst his brain and organs, leaving him immobile and unable to fight back.

    ¡°Ten times is too much. The Sphynx could take something two or three times stronger. He would adapt and get fitter.¡±

    Armed with this great new idea, Zhao Yao made his way back into the belly and headed straight for the Sphynx.

    Ares was not next to him this time. He was alone in his cage, watching Ares ying with Catherine, Diana, and Caesar in the distance. There was a hint of a smile on his lips.

    Zhao Yao smiled as well.

    ¡°Ares doesn¡¯t know the side-effect of your power, does he?¡±

    The Sphynx turned to face Zhao Yao. His expression morphed into something hateful and terrible.

    ¡°What do you want?¡± he spat.

    ¡°You like training, don¡¯t you?¡± Zhao Yao asked, ¡°I¡¯m giving you a chance to start training again. Grow stronger. Get better. Train until you¡¯re good enough to beat me, then take Ares and leave this ce.¡±

    ¡°Beat you? Take Ares and leave this ce?¡± the Sphynx repeated dumbly.

    ¡°What? You don¡¯t want to?¡±

    The cat looked back at Ares for a moment, then turned to Zhao Yao. This time, there was no anger or hate in his eyes.

    There was only fierce determination.

    ¡°That¡¯s it. That¡¯s the look I remember,¡± Zhao Yao could not help but grin, ¡°My silly Sphynx, keep training and help me grow stronger.¡±

    He then lifted a finger and pointed at the cat. In an instant, a pressure that was three times the force of gravity hit the Sphynx, causing him to dip towards the ground.

    ¡°The cage door is open. You can leave whenever you want. The confines of the cage have been altered to contain that extra pressure you feel now. You cane back anytime to train here.¡±

    Zhao Yao shot him a smile.

    ¡°So, what say you? Is three times the gravitational force too much? I can always turn it down...¡±

    ¡°No!¡± the Sphynx eximed, gritting his teeth.

    He got onto his feet gingerly. He felt the familiar sensation of his internal organs being squished from the unbearable pressure. It was pure torture, but hepelled himself to move.

    ¡°Wait and see. One day, I¡¯ll grow strong enough to beat you and I¡¯ll leave this god forsaken ce with Ares!¡± he dered.

    Zhao Yao watched in delight as the Sphynx immediately got to work in the cage.

    ¡°Supercats may be super, but they¡¯re still easy to trick. I hope this fiery determinationsts. A month or two shouldn¡¯t be an issue, huh?¡±

    Now that the cat was doing exactly as he wanted, he made his way to Old Cat. He needed to check up on him and the insightful essay that could earn him a neat 2,000 experience points.

    Old Cat was seated, a phone between his paws. He was typing on it furiously.

    Zhao Yao activated TimeFreeze and snuck up behind the cat. He quickly read through the words on the screen.

    ¡°I am terribly sorry for the mistakes that I have made. I never, ever should have started on this road to sin, debauchery, and lies. I will not make any excuses for my horrible behavior. I will use my actions to prove that I...¡±

    In the next moment, time resumed and Zhao Yao asked, ¡°What is this nonsense that you¡¯ve written?¡±

    His sudden appearance caused Old Cat to jump in fright.

    ¡°Well, these are my reflections. I¡¯ve been mulling over the terrible things I¡¯ve done and experiencing the regret that I deserve.¡±

    Zhao Yao smacked the cat behind the head.

    ¡°No one wants to see your stupid reflections,¡± he started, ¡°I want you to give me a blow-by-blow ount of what you¡¯ve been doing at Chuan Xiao District. Don¡¯t you dare omit even one detail!¡±

    <h4>Chapter 361: Chicken Dinners and a Neer</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Next, Zhao Yao sought out Red Packet.

    He felt that their trip to Chuan Xiao District had helped them bond. He trusted him enough to let him roam freely in the belly. The cat was now flopped on the floor, eyes glued to an anime that lit up his tablet screen.

    He immediately tensed when he noticed Zhao Yao approaching.

    ¡°Don¡¯t stab me! Don¡¯t stab me!¡± he cried, scrambling to get onto his feet.

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes. It seemed like Red Packet¡¯s impression of him was very much shaped by his performance at Chuan Xiao.

    He patiently exined what really happened to the frightened cat, whom gradually calmed down. Zhao Yao tentatively reached out to stroke his back.

    ¡°Hey,¡± he started, ¡°I still don¡¯t know what your power actually is.¡±

    Red Packet eyed the human suspiciously.

    ¡°Good luck, I guess. I seem to be able to make money more easily from anything I do.¡±

    ¡°Make money more easily from anything you do?¡± Zhao Yao repeated, his eyes lighting up like a jackpot machine.

    He always knew that this fortune cat could roll in cash, but now he understood how it worked.

    He had a n.

    ¡°Red Packet, I run a cat cafe. Do you want to try working there?¡± he asked.

    ¡°Cat cafe?¡± he shook his head profusely, ¡°That would mean selling my body. I¡¯m not ruining my good name by doing ¨C .¡±

    He swallowed the rest of his sentence when he noticed the murderous look on Zhao Yao¡¯s face.

    ¡°That¡¯s utter bull,¡± he said firmly, ¡°We operate a clean, family-friendly business where cats and people can interact and form friendships. Sell your body? What an insult. Get ready to start work tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°...¡±

    Zhao Yao did not wait for a response. He spun on his heel and left the belly.

    He made his way home, where he started checking off the usual list of daily tasks.

    When night rolled around, Baiquan brought the troupe of supercats to the house.

    Zhao Yao looked up when the front door swung open. The first thing he saw was Matcha¡¯s gloomy expression as he shuffled in.

    When the ginger cat passed the food bowls, he swatted them forcefully, sending them flying. He let out a hmpf, then leapt onto the massage chair. He then started punching the backrest manically.

    Zhao Yao watched this with furrowed brows.

    ¡°What¡¯s up with him?¡± he asked Baiquan.

    Baiquanughed good-naturedly, ¡°ording to Elizabeth, the power his beloved Lu Ban used to pack has been weakened. He¡¯s lost every match he yed today.¡±

    ¡°ying on the job again, has he?¡± Zhao Yao shook his head at the angry cat, ¡°I¡¯ll handle this. Thanks for running the cafe today, Baiquan. Everything okay with Old Man Zhuang?¡±

    Baiquan lifted his hand, his index finger and thumb meeting in an ¡°OK¡± sign.

    ¡°All went well. Elizabeth and I worked together to serve him.¡±

    The next person to enter the house was Hanako, who had Rice Cake in her arms. The Scottish Fold sprung from her and darted straight for the study table. She switched on theptop, thenunched her favorite game, all with an eager expression on her face.

    Hanako had stopped in her tracks. She was staring at Lightning with widened eyes. He was still cleaning the floor diligently.

    ¡°Why is Lightning mopping? Zhao Yao, why are you bullying the poor thing?¡± she demanded.

    ¡°Me? Bully him?¡± Zhao Yao said incredulously.

    He recounted in vivid detail what Lightning had done. As she listened, Hanako¡¯s expression morphed from indignation to disgust.

    ¡°Lightning!¡± she shouted, ring at the cat.

    He flopped onto his belly in fear, ears ttened against his head.

    As Hanako lectured the cat, Zhao Yao made his way to the massage chair.

    He patted the top of Matcha¡¯s head.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you angry about something?¡±

    ¡°Mmm.¡±

    Matcha turned away from him, so Zhao Yao started gently scratching the side of his neck. He tried to evade his touch, but eventually sumbed to the enjoyable contact.

    ¡°I heard Lu Ban has been weakened?¡± Zhao Yao mentioned casually.

    That was the trigger that got Matcha to finally speak.

    ¡°How could they do that?! Don¡¯t they not know that all the top yers use Lu Ban? And they weakened him? Have they gone mad?¡±

    Zhao Yao tried to console the livid cat. Rice Cake, whom was already immersed in a match of PUBG, spoke up.

    ¡°Matcha, why don¡¯t you y yerUnknown Battleground with me?¡± she suggested.

    ¡°yerUnknown Battleground?¡± Matcha asked.

    ¡°Yeah. Aren¡¯t you already the number one in King¡¯s Glory? You¡¯ll get the hang of PUBG in no time,¡± she responded, ¡°Plus, I found cheats we can use. We¡¯ll be unbeatable together.¡±

    ¡°Number one?¡± Matcha was momentarily stunned, but he regainedposure quickly, ¡°Yeah, we¡¯ll be unbeatable.¡±

    ¡°Cheats?¡± Zhao Yao was stunned as well, ¡°Yeah, you guys will make an unbeatable team.¡±

    It seemed like Rice Cake was really taking the game seriously.

    ¡°Exactly. We¡¯ll be great. You should y with me. PUBG is the hottest thing right now. We can even live stream our matches. One day, we¡¯ll climb right to the top and be one of those top streamers that earns millions a year,¡± she concluded.

    ¡°Millions a year?¡± Elizabeth piped in.

    She had been agonizing over herpleteck of poprity on Weibo.

    So far, she had received a grand total of one like. She had 12 followers, of which two were her own secondary ounts and the remaining 10 belonged to promoters that were trying to sell her stuff.

    It was miserable.

    Elizabeth got onto her feet.

    ¡°How do I y PUBG?¡± she asked.

    Rice Cake was more than happy to teach her. The two cats wasted no time to begin a discussion on the game.

    Matcha did not join in.

    He rubbed his face, then let out a yawn.

    ¡°Count me out. I still prefer King¡¯s Glory. Also, I don¡¯t have aptop. I can¡¯t y,¡± he said simply.

    His true reason for deferring was moreplicated than that.

    ¡°I can¡¯t y! What if I lose to Rice Cake? She¡¯ll never believe that I¡¯m number one at anything!¡± he thought.

    Elizabeth turned to Zhao Yao.

    ¡°We got quite a bit of money from Chuan Xiao, didn¡¯t we? Can¡¯t we use some of that to buy newptops?¡±

    Matchaughed to himself.

    ¡°How naive, my dear Elizabeth. No one is stingier than Zhao Yao. He would never buy you aptop,¡± he mused.

    ¡°Sure!¡± Zhao Yao agreed instantly.

    There were millions¡¯ worth of cold, hard cash lying in a bag somewhere in the belly. Buying a fewptops would not put a dent to it.

    ¡°I¡¯ll buy five. It¡¯s time for me to get a new one anyway.¡±

    Matcha gawked at Zhao Yao, then mped his jaw down onto his owner¡¯s arm.

    ¡°Imposter!¡±

    For the next few days, Zhao Yao resumed his usual lifestyle. The one difference he had made was to cater time to watch the Sphynx train.

    The atmosphere in the house had changed. At night, the vicious smacking of keyboards echoed through the halls, coupled with feverish meows and yelps.

    Rice Cake, Elizabeth, Matcha, and an unwitting Roly Poly, had formed a n and embarked on their PUBG journey together.

    *

    Two weekster, at Jiangmen City International Airport.

    A handsome, young man made his way down the steps of an airport. He had on samurai armor.

    He looked up at the sky, then let out a derisive snort.

    ¡°Well, China, I hope you do not disappoint.¡±

    The moment he walked into the arrival hall, a man raised a wee card and hurried towards him.

    He bowed deeply. ¡°Hello, you must be Lord Ishida.¡±

    Ishida was thest disciple of Yagyu Kazuhiko, Japan¡¯s only remaining demaster. Yagyu was also known as the God of Sword Art.

    He had alwaysmanded immense respect and power, but that reached a whole new level after the awakening.

    The appearance of supercats changed things. Their superpowers made Yagyu more powerful than anyone could have imagined.

    Young boys and men everywhere fought to be taken under his wing. The apostles that were after Hanako had links to him as well.

    Like them, Ishida hade to China for her.

    Ishida nodded curtly at the man. ¡°Where is he?¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ve located his whereabouts, but I¡¯m afraid there are..plications. We can¡¯t just go up to him and start a fight.¡±

    ¡°Why not?¡±

    Ishida¡¯s perfectly shaped eyebrows were furrowed. He kept his piercing eyes firmly on the man, whom tried to shy away from his resolute stare.

    ¡°Because we believe you¡¯re up to something.¡±

    Lin Chen was the person who had spoken. He strolled up to Ishida with an impish grin on his face.

    ¡°Hello there, Ishida. Wee to China. Allow me to apany you as you traverse through our beautiful country,¡± he said.

    Ishida¡¯s eyes narrowed. ¡°Who are you?¡±

    Lin Chen met his hostility with a smile.

    ¡°I¡¯m an apostle officer. My name is Lin Chen,¡± he responded easily, shing his ID, ¡°It¡¯s very nice to meet you.¡±

    Ishida glowered at him. ¡°Is this how the Chinese authorities treat all their foreign friends?¡±

    Lin Chen chuckled. ¡°C¡¯mon, let¡¯s drop the pretense. You¡¯re notfriend of ours. We know all about the trouble you¡¯ve been stirring back home.¡±

    This time, when he looked at Ishida, there was a flicker of menace.

    ¡°What you¡¯ve done in Japan is none of our business, but you¡¯re in China now. If you cause any kind of trouble here, it¡¯s my business. I will break more than just that handsome face.¡±

    It was Ishida¡¯s turn to smile. It did not reach his eyes at all.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, my friend. I¡¯ll give you a chance to spar with me before I leave. Till then.¡±

    With that, he spun on his heel and walked away. The man who weed him trailed behind.

    Lin Chen remained where he was as he watched their retreating figures. A plump man hurried to him.

    ¡°Obnoxious, isn¡¯t he?¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s obnoxious because he¡¯s confident,¡± Lin Chen said, scratching his chin thoughtfully, ¡°He¡¯s self-made. He started with nothing, but fought his way to be Yagyu¡¯s disciple and climbed all the way to the top of that Japanese gang. They call him Raijin ¨C God of Thunder. We should not underestimate him.¡±

    ¡°You know how much the Japanese love little nicknames like that. Do we really have to shadow his every move?¡±

    ¡°Yes, for the next 24 hours at least. We¡¯ll take turns. He is not leaving our sight,¡± Lin Chen said firmly.

    It was apparent that he was not kidding.

    ¡°They¡¯re still tailing us. What should we do?¡± the man asked, peering anxiously into the rearview mirror.

    Ishida was unperturbed. ¡°Ignore them. Let¡¯s focus on our target. Do you have his files?¡±

    The man handed him a folder. In it was photo after photo of Hanako. There were shots of her entering and leaving the cafe, attending to customers, and caring for the cats.

    ¡°Cat cafe, huh? Does it belong to an apostle?¡± Ishida asked.

    ¡°Yes. The owner of the cafe is an apostle. He¡¯s taken Hanako under his wing. I believe he was the one who defeated Sato and the rest.¡±

    Sato was one of Yagyu¡¯s disciples as well. He was the one who got caught breaking into Zhao Yao¡¯s house.

    After the incident, he was arrested by Lin Chen. His capture alerted Inspector Ho to the existence of the Japanese terror group.

    The names of notable apostles in the group were added to the country¡¯s list of potential threats. The Inspector would be alerted if any of them entered China. That was how Lin Chen knew of Ishida¡¯s arrival.

    Ishida continued browsing through the stack of photos. Among them were pictures of Zhao Yao and Baiquan.

    ¡°So, what¡¯s thisplication you mentioned? Is this apostle particrly powerful?¡± he asked.

    The man was quick to respond.

    ¡°Of course he¡¯s no match for you, Lord Ishida,¡± he ttered, ¡°However, he seems to have some kind of healing abilities. Retired government officers, high-ranking ones no less, visit the cafe to be treated every day. If we attack, the authorities will know. What¡¯s more...¡±

    He turned to look out the window. A ck car was now driving by their side, matching their speed. Lin Chen waved cheerfully from inside.

    There was no need for him toplete his sentence. Lin Chen¡¯s presence made things very clear. With the government watching his every step, it would be impossible to strike.

    There was a deep crease between Ishida¡¯s brows. ¡°If that¡¯s the case...¡±

    He was confident that he could beat any apostle at all. However, he knew that attacking the retirees¡¯ doctor would be challenging the authorities openly. That would not end well.

    The car descended into silence as Ishida was consumed by his thoughts.

    *

    At the cat cafe.

    Elizabeth, Rice Cake, Roly Poly, and Matcha were seated in a circle, as if they were having a meeting.

    Elizabeth cleared her throat.

    ¡°As you all know, we have not been performing well for the past few days. For every 10 rounds we yed, we only made it to the top 10 for one round. If we keep this up, we¡¯ll never have our chicken dinner.¡±

    Winner winner chicken dinner.

    That was the message that would be sprawled on the screen of the winner of a PUBG match.

    Elizabeth started fuming when she saw theckluster expression on Matcha¡¯s face.

    ¡°Special mention goes to you, Matcha!¡± she scolded, ¡°Your aiming sucks! I don¡¯t understand how you got punched to death with someone¡¯s bare fists when you had a freaking rifle! Do you want to win or not?¡±

    She then turned to Rice Cake, whom was dozing off.

    ¡°And you, Rice Cake!¡±

    The sleepy cat was jolted awake. She widened her eyes and blinked slowly. ¡°Me?¡±

    ¡°You attack anyone and everyone you see! And you always head to the most crowded spots first! Those are the most dangerous! Can you please just control yourself? You almost always die instantly. We¡¯re pretty much always a three-cat team.¡±

    Rice Cake was not happy about such biting criticism.

    ¡°How can I get our chicken dinner if I don¡¯t kill our opponents?¡± she retorted.

    Matcha started defending himself as well.

    ¡°I told you! My inte connection got cut! I couldn¡¯t move for at least two seconds. If that hadn¡¯t happened, I would have shot him and killed him,¡± he argued.

    Elizabeth was shaking her head out of frustration. The past fortnight had been trying. Her teammates were nothing but burdens and it felt like she had to carry the entire team on her back. She could feel her blood pressure reach new heights with each day.

    There was another spike in her levels when she spotted Roly Poly using his phone.

    ¡°Roly Poly! How many times must I repeat myself? No phones during meetings!¡± she yelled.

    The fat cat raised his head and smiled at her apologetically.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯ll stop,¡± he said.

    The word ¡°bitch¡± shed on his screen before he shut it.

    Elizabeth let out a dramatic sigh as she looked from one teammate to another.

    ¡°This can¡¯t continue. If we keep ying like this, we¡¯ll never win a match, much less start a career in live-streaming.¡±

    She continued, ¡°I¡¯ve created a chicken dinner training schedule. From today, each of us will stick to that schedule and train! Every day!¡±

    ¡°We will begin our new training regime today. We¡¯ll wake at 5 am to practise for two hours. This will ensure that we can still leave for work at 7 am. At 8 am, once we¡¯ve settled down, we¡¯ll do readings together and have a sharing session on what we¡¯ve learnt.¡±

    ¡°Readings?¡± Matcha repeated incredulously.

    ¡°I¡¯ve taken the liberty of consolidating articles on PUBG strategies. They¡¯re written by the best yers in the world. I¡¯ve named this collection the Chicken Dinner Recipes.¡±

    With that, Elizabeth whipped out her phone and sent her carefully curated folder to everyone.

    Matcha flipped through the pages at top speed, hardly reading any of it. He was rmed by the sheer volume of content.

    ¡°When did you put this together?¡± he asked.

    ¡°While you guys were sleeping,¡± she replied simply, ¡°Anyway, back to our schedule. While we work in the afternoons, you should also reflect on your performance the night before. I expect a 100-word self-evaluation from each of you.¡±

    She took a breath before continuing. ¡°We¡¯ll be home around 7 pm. The first thing we¡¯ll do is hold a stand-up meeting. We¡¯ll share our self-evaluations and give each other pointers on how to improve.¡±

    ¡°At 8 pm, we¡¯ll split into two-cat teams to run a training simtion. The losing team will have to lick clean the winning team¡¯s fur.¡±

    Rice Cake¡¯s face contorted with disgust.

    ¡°We begin actual matches at 9 pm. We¡¯ll end the day by watching reys of top yers. That would be at 1 am.¡±

    ¡°Erm,¡± Roly Poly piped in nervously, raising his paw, ¡°Don¡¯t we have to wake at 5 am? If we start watching the reys at 1 am, I don¡¯t think we¡¯ll be getting much sleep...¡±

    Elizabeth mmed the table angrily.

    ¡°Then sleep when you¡¯re in the customers¡¯ arms! Don¡¯t you understand that we don¡¯t have time left? The PUBG stream scene is bing saturated. If we don¡¯t raise our standards now, we¡¯ll never be signed to any of the tforms and we¡¯ll never make it big!¡±

    Roly Poly nodded, but the displeasure was in on his face. Rice Cake and Matcha had no objections. They were night owls anyway, so thete nights were not a problem. They were just a little ufortable by how intense the schedule was.

    Zhao Yao was observing the meeting from his usual seat with an amused smile. Most of his attention was expended on the extradimensional belly, where the Sphynx was exercising his hairless butt off.

    It was clear that the triple gravitational pull was no longer an impediment for him. He was darting around the cage like a shadow, so swiftly that he left gusts of wind in his wake.

    ¡°Not bad,¡± Zhao Yao nodded, pleased with the progress.

    He made his way to the cat.

    ¡°How¡¯s it going?¡± he started, ¡°Have you gotten used to the extra three times of pressure?¡±

    ¡°Yeah,¡± the Sphynx said casually, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Give me more.¡±

    Zhao Yao grinned. This was going exactly as nned. He increased the additional weight from three to four times.

    The Sphynx¡¯s knees buckled slightly from the extra weight, but he straightened in a moment. He moved about slowly at first, then easily when he got used to it. After a few minutes, he could even start jumping.

    ¡°You¡¯re a determined one, aren¡¯t you?¡± Zhao Yaomented.

    Back at the cafe, a group of college girls started squealing when they noticed Elizabeth and gang.

    ¡°Aww, that¡¯s the cutest thing I¡¯ve ever seen!¡±

    ¡°Lizzie, are you guys holding a little meeting?¡±

    Coco Sun, who was wearing a traditional hanfu today, scooped Elizabeth into her arms and buried her face in her thick fur.

    The rest of the girls reached out for the other cats, all smiling from ear to ear.

    ¡°That¡¯s all for today,¡± Elizabeth told her teammates telepathically, ¡°Let¡¯s work.¡±

    Roly Poly let out a long sigh, ¡°Finally.¡±

    Matcha yawned, a look of boredom settled on his face.

    As the cats started rxing from Elizabeth¡¯s tedious briefing, Zhao Yao tensed.

    ¡°Elizabeth, cover me,¡± he said, then promptly disappeared into the extradimensional belly.

    Something had happened.

    There was an update to the Book.

    Dust Ball had suddenly leveled up. Twice.

    Her original Level 6 was now at Level 8 (0 / 50,000), surpassing Matcha. She had be the supercat with the highest level.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Two levels at once?¡± Zhao Yao wondered urgently, ¡°Jesus Christ, it must be the Royal Catmint.¡±

    He headed straight for the catmint¡¯s secret location.

    Sure enough, Dust Ball was there, the bag of Royal Catmint dangling from her mouth.

    ¡°Zhao...Zhao Yao?¡± she uttered.

    She was too shocked by his sudden appearance to conceal the crime she hadmitted.

    Zhao Yao snatched the bag from her.

    It had been emptied.

    ¡°Huh, so it is the catmint. I thought it could level up the consumer once, not twice,¡± he wondered aloud.

    Something clicked into ce in his mind.

    ¡°It must be the Light of Creation,¡± he said, looking up.

    The Light was to the extradimensional belly what the sun was to the earth. It illuminated the space and helped the nts and vegetables nted in it to flourish. Anything grown here was imbued with special properties. That was why they could be used to make legendary cat food, which came with 100 experience points upon consumption.

    ¡°Even the Royal Catmint was fortified after being under the Light of Creation,¡± Zhao Yao sighed, shaking the empty bag.

    The remaining kes were rustled against the stic quietly.

    ¡°Wait, there¡¯s a bit more.¡±

    Zhao Yao barged into the cafe and fed the remnants to Matcha and the other cats.

    It might be a minute amount, but it still tasted excellent. Delicious as it might be, it did not bring about any level-ups or increases in experience points.

    He returned to the belly, thoroughly disappointed.

    Dust Ball curled into a literal ball when she spotted Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Dust Ball, didn¡¯t I ask you to guard the catmint? How could you end up eating it yourself?¡± he scolded.

    She replied quietly, ¡°You won¡¯t believe this, but the bag was already opened when I was here.¡±

    ¡°Come on, get up,¡± Zhao Yao said through gritted teeth, ¡°Go clean the cafe. I want it to be spotless!¡±

    Dust Ball heaved a sigh of relief and scurried out of sight. She thought she had escaped Zhao Yao¡¯s wrath, but he followed up with another punishment.

    ¡°For the next year, you¡¯re responsible for cleaning the cafe. And yes, that includes clearing everyone¡¯s poop. Understand?¡±

    ¡°Yes, I understand,¡± sheplied, her face scrunched up.

    Toilet duty was going to be disgusting, but it was a fair deal. Anything would been worth a taste of that Royal Catmint.

    ¡°It was just...perfect,¡± she sighed dreamily.

    Zhao Yao was not happy with Rice Cake, but he tookfort in the fact that the catmint did not go to waste. She had leveled up twice after all.

    He took a seat and unlocked two new branches on her skill tree, his eyes lighting up as he read through their descriptions.

    He picked Space Expansion as her level 7 skill and Dimension Doorway for level 8.

    Space Expansion was a dynamic skill. It would grow with Dust Ball¡¯s level. To be specific, it would expand the area within the belly to be her level multiplied by 100 square meters.

    That meant that at level 7, the space would hit 700 square meters and now, at level 8, it would be 800.

    Dimension Doorway, as its name suggested, allowed Zhao Yao to ce three doorways to the belly anywhere in the real world.

    The skills were both insanely useful and that made Zhao Yao ridiculously happy.

    He could now erge the cats¡¯ living space continuously. That would be crucial for his mission to develop the Cat Nation. It would also mean that he could adopt more supercats.

    The doorways transformed the extradimensional belly into a supercat transit. He could put one in the cafe and another in his house, rendering the dozens of kilometers between the two locations to nothing.

    Apart from travel, the doorways would be useful inbat as well.

    Zhao Yao could not help but wonder what the other cats¡¯ level 8 skills would bring.

    Zhao Yao could not help the silly grin that was stered on his face. Dust Ball¡¯s new skills were perfect.

    The moment he unlocked them on her skill tree, a loud roar erupted from the depths of the extradimensional belly. The supercats watched in awe as the space they were in expanded rapidly before their eyes, stopping only when it hit 800 square meters.

    They looked around curiously.

    Dust Ball¡¯s paws fell to her sides. She had been in the midst of cleaning the cafe when she noticed the sudden expansion.

    ¡°Now I have more space to grow catmint!¡± she cheered quietly.

    While the cats tried to figure out what was going on, Zhao Yao had moved on to testing out the next skill.

    ¡°Let¡¯s try building a doorway in the cafe,¡± he thought.

    *

    At Jiangmen City Train Station.

    ck Panther walked out of the station, hoisting an enormous polypropylene bag over his shoulder. He took in these foreign surroundings curiously, his gaze panning slowly across the street.

    A calico cat¡¯s head popped up from the small opening of his bag.

    ¡°Oh man, so this is Jiangmen? Isn¡¯t she a beauty?¡±

    The cat meowed in agreement.

    The two of them had been released by the police a few days ago.

    The officer told him it was because he had never harmed others during his time at the Chuan Xiao scam syndicate. More importantly, he had somewhat aided the police by taking down some of his own men that day.

    He had been let off with nothing more than a warning.

    The first reason was true, but the second was not.

    In reality, Inspector Ho believed that ck Panther was somehow rted to the Headless Horseman. Setting him free was an extension of friendship to the Horseman. It was also a test.

    The Panther had ended up in Jiangmen City because the police told him that the Horseman was here. He had hoped to find him and strike it rich together.

    ¡°Darn, the city is huge. Where could Mr. Headless be?¡±

    The flurry of sights and sounds had been exciting, but as soon as this reality hit, he descended into a pit of worry.

    As he pondered over his next step, a middle-aged man stopped by him. The stranger wore a kind expression on his face.

    ¡°Hello there! Have you just arrived in our city?¡± he asked cordially.

    ¡°Yeah,¡± ck Panther replied honestly.

    The man did a quick once-over of him.

    ¡°You must be here for work, yes? I work for a recruitment agency. I can help you find work.¡±

    ¡°Work?¡±

    ck Panther considered this seriously. He had literally spent all his money on the train ticket to get here. He would need a job if he did not want to go hungry.

    He nodded at the stranger. ¡°But I have no skills or experience.¡±

    The middle-aged man swung an arm around his shoulder. He patted him assuringly.

    ¡°That¡¯s not a problem. We¡¯re looking for management trainees. You don¡¯t need prior experience or knowledge. We¡¯ll teach you everything you need. If you do well, you¡¯ll rise up the ranks. Being a CEO would be a possibility.¡±

    ck Panther¡¯s eyes widened, his heart brimming with appreciation.

    ¡°Is everyone in Jiangmen so nice?¡± he thought.

    He put his own arm around the man¡¯s shoulder. ¡°I never would have thought that I would meet a good person like you. It sucks that you caught me at my lowest, but don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s temporary. Once I find the Holy Water, I¡¯m going to strike it rich. I¡¯ll take you to the top with me. We¡¯ll take the medical industry by storm and transform the way we treat and heal people. We¡¯ll be the catalyst for a new generation!¡±

    The impassioned speech momentarily stunned the man into silence. He could only nod, wondering if this neer was a bit soft in the head.

    ¡°We¡¯re brothers from now on, alright? I¡¯ll be here for you through thick and thin,¡± ck Panther said, looking right into his eyes.

    The middle-aged man hesitated.

    ¡°Do you not want to be brothers? Do you look down on me because I¡¯m from the country?¡±

    The man shook his head furiously. ¡°No! No, not at all. I¡¯m just pleased is all!¡±

    That was enough for ck Panther. He patted the man¡¯s shoulder bracingly.

    ¡°My brother!¡± he eximed.

    ¡°Yes, yes. My brother,¡± the middle-aged man repeated, albeit a lot less enthusiastically.

    *

    Back at the cat cafe, Zhao Yao was studying the doorway that he had conjured. Only he could see it.

    He stuck his head into the portal, then backed up.

    After a bit of experimentation, he seemed to have figured out how the Dimension Doorways worked.

    For starters, he could configure the doorways to be visible only to himself and Dust Ball. He also learnt that whenever he entered a portal into the belly, he woulde out at its center. There was no way to change that.

    Of most importance was the fact that both him and Dust Ball could restrict who could enter or leave the doorways.

    ¡°This is good stuff,¡± Zhao Yao concluded happily, smiling at the portal.

    ¡°I just need one at home, one at the cafe, and keep thest one with me. Wherever I put it, I¡¯ll be able to get back. I can even use it inbat.¡±

    If he met difficult opponents in the future, he could nt a portal before them. The doorways are invisible, so the opponent would fall right into the belly.

    There, Zhao Yao could pin him with a pressure that was 10 times of gravity. Alternatively, he could rally dozens of supercats to attack.

    ¡°Perhaps the Sphynx alone would be enough.¡±

    Zhao Yao had been furious with Dust Ball for eating the catmint without permission, but that turned out to be a pretty great thing after all.

    The portals were just half of it. The space expansion was another.

    The extra square meters had helped him to finallyplete the third task of the Cat Nation mission. It required him to raise the area of the belly such that there were at least 50 square meters per cat.

    Now that this was achieved, he was awarded 400 x 2 experience points. Coupled with the 400 x 2 points he got from Old Cat¡¯s detailed intel, which spanned over two dozen reports, the Book now stood at Level 6 (3,962 / 20,000).

    The fourth Cat Nation task had also been revealed.

    Mission: How can the adorable kitties be without electricity and inte?

    Objective: Find a way to provide stable electricity and inte ess for the supercats

    Reward: 800 experience points

    Punishment: None

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up instantly.

    ¡°The first task was worth 100 points. The second was 200, third was 400, and now the fourth is 800?¡±

    It seemed like the points were doubling with each task. He could not wait to finish this one to find out if that was really the case.

    That night, he opened a Dimension Doorway in the middle of the living room once he got home. He entered it with a bundle of power strips cradled in his arms.

    Some of the supercats watched him as he moved around. They were curious about what he was up to this time.

    After all, a lot had changed recently. First, Red Packet and Old Cat joined the group. Then, today, their living space had expanded in size right before them. A portal had also appeared out of nowhere. They could not see where it led to. The door simply opened to blinding white light.

    In general, cats hate change. Introducing a new cat to the family or even moving the litter box was considered earth-shattering news.

    While supercats were smarter and faster to adapt to change, the barrage of new stuff they had experienced so far was a bit much.

    They were starting to get a bit neurotic.

    Lion Head was adamant that she was right.

    ¡°I¡¯m telling you,¡± she stated, ¡°Zhao Yao must have moved us to a new home! Look at how much bigger this ce is! There¡¯s so much light now. And look at that glowing door! How is it possible that we¡¯re still in the space ce?¡±

    Uncle Egg was displeased. ¡°Why must he make so many changes? Weren¡¯t we perfectly fine before?¡±

    A group of supercats had gathered to discuss the transformations made to their home. While theyined and whined, Zhao Yao had connected the pocket socket from his home to the power strips in the belly.

    In that moment, the Cat Nation officially received electricity.

    He then grabbed a modem and a bunch of cables and set up inte ess in the belly.

    After he exined his actions to the supercats, their doubt and suspicions immediately morphed into unadulterated excitement.

    ¡°I¡¯ll never lose connection in the middle of a match again!¡±

    ¡°The automatic toilets will never have to be charged again!¡±

    ¡°My phone will never run out of battery!¡±

    Zhao Yao plugged eachptop to a socket in the power strips, granting them endless electricity. He then announced the wifi password to the eager supercats.

    Those familiar with the inte scrambled to go online instantly. The majority of the cats, however, had never touched the inte before. They wore curious expressions as they started exploring new features.

    Zhao Yao grinned. ¡°They¡¯re just curious now, but they¡¯ll be addicted in a couple weeks.¡±

    He had sessfully checked off the fourth task, earning 800 x 2 experience points. This brought his Book to Level 6 (4,562 / 20,000).

    A fifth task had appeared as well.

    Mission: Wee more supercats

    Objective: There¡¯s electricity, inte, great food, and a fantastic space. Your Cat Nation is now ready to amodate more residents. Raise your supercat poption to 50.

    Reward: 1,600 experience points

    Punishment: None

    Zhao Yao licked his lips eagerly. ¡°It¡¯s really 1,600 points!¡±

    He was thrilled that the reward points were doubling with each task, but this one worried him a little. It would not be easy to care for 50 supercats at once. He was not even sure how he could get his hands on so many.

    ¡°Each task brings me to closer to developing the perfect Cat Nation,¡± he thought.

    He felt that he was at least halfway there. The cats¡¯ living space was now massive. The Light of Creation illuminated the once dank belly with loads of natural light. Even the food was great. The pairing of Michelin-starred cat rice and the Light¡¯s special powers had boosted the well-being of each resident. Every cat here was in the pink of health and had a thick, glossy coat of fur to show for it.

    The belly also offered them opportunities to pursue their interests and hobbies. Dust Ball¡¯s little catmint ntation had been flourishing. The Sphynx had ess to his own special training area. Most of the cats were absorbed by the plethora of online games avable.

    Zhao Yao could not help the amused smile that spread across his lips.

    ¡°Perhaps one day, there would be hundreds of supercats living here. This would be pretty interesting.¡±

    As he savored this thought, the spirit of a cat gradually floated up to him.

    It was Nekomata.

    He had been diligently following Zhao Yao since the day the Cat King Competition ended. Every day, he would traverse back and forth from this house, to the cafe, and to Xiao Yu¡¯s house. This had been going on for close to two weeks.

    He spent all his time closely watching and observing Zhao Yao¡¯s every move. He bore witness to his attempts at figuring out the Dimension Doorways. He had even followed Zhao Yao through the portal and ended up on the other side.

    His eyes widened as he took in the new surroundings.

    ¡°Unbelievable. He has amassed an extraordinarilyrge number of cats for a person his age,¡± Nekomata thought.

    He let out a low whistle. ¡°Is this fancy mansion just for them?¡±

    His eventually turned his attention from the physical space to the number of cats that took up residence in it. Including the ones in the cafe, it seemed like Zhao Yao had more than 20 supercats.

    ¡°This fe could just be the most powerful apostle I¡¯ve ever seen. He also owns thergest supercat organization I¡¯ve ever encountered. This deserves further observation,¡± Nekomata pondered.

    He narrowed his eyes as he remained deep in thought.

    ¡°It makes no sense for Xiao Yu and Ho Hao Cang to continue being on their own. They should just join Zhao Yao.¡±

    ¡°I doubt he can stay in charge forever after all.¡±

    Havinge to a conclusion he was happy with, Nekomata darted swiftly out of the portal. His industrious observations revealed that Zhao Yao had the ability to control who can go through the doorways. He had no wish to be stuck inside because of a newly ced restriction.

    He shot up the stairs, heading straight for the roof.

    He took out his handphone.

    *

    At the same time, deep in the heart of the city, Xiao Yu was walking along the football field of her new junior high school. She had just begun her first year there.

    She was nudging a pebble with her foot with each step she took, only half-listening to the scrawny girl next to her.

    ¡°Xiao Yu, what should we do?¡± the girl asked, her voice tinged with panic, ¡°Do we really give them our money?¡±

    ¡°Of course not. I barely have enough pocket money for lunch. I¡¯m not giving any of it away,¡± Xiao Yu replied coolly.

    ¡°But...but how do we refuse? We¡¯re at the very bottom of the social hierarchy right now. We¡¯re only in sixth grade! We can¡¯t handle the real middle-schoolers. Why must our city be the only one that sends sixth-graders to middle school? We¡¯re supposed to be ruling primary school right now.¡±

    Xiao Yu pursed her lips. ¡°I¡¯m still not giving them money. If they want it, they¡¯ll have to pry it from my cold, dead hands.¡±

    Her phone vibrated in her pocket as she spoke. She reached for it and found a message from Noodle.

    ¡°Huh?¡± she murmured, scanning through it.

    Her eyes grew wider and wider as she made her way through the text. They were practically shimmering with delight when she reached the end.

    In contrast, the girl next to her continued toment over whether they should hand over the protection fees to their seniors.

    *

    After spending the rest of the day organizing and furnishing the newly expanded extradimensional belly, Zhao Yao made his way home.

    He was tired, but he could not stop thinking about how he could grow the Cat Nation¡¯s poption. Capturing more supercats was not a problem for him. The issue here was ensuring that they all lived in harmony.

    ¡°If I introduced too many new cats at one go, the rest of them will flip. I have to take this slow.¡±

    His thoughts were disrupted by an uproar of meowing, followed by the violent striking of keyboards.

    ¡°Matcha! Why are you hiding in the grass?! Attack now!¡± Elizabethmanded.

    She then turned her attention to Rice Cake. ¡°You! Come back here right now! Who gave you permission to charge headfirst?¡±

    ¡°Roly Poly...¡± Elizabeth¡¯s words were cut short by a loud smattering of gunshots.

    The two opponents standing on a hill across from her copsed to the ground.

    She turned around to look at Roly Poly, whom had a smug smile spreadzily across his face. Her mouth hung open in shock.

    ¡°All taken care of. Small matter. Mango, zoom out,¡± he said.

    Mango was currently holding onto a magnifying ss with his teeth. He moved it away from the center of theputer screen.

    Roly Poly tossed him a piece of dried fish, which he happily let go of the magnifier top up.

    The fat cat had been trying to train Mango to do tricks for ages. While the usual ¡°sit¡±, ¡°left paw¡±, ¡°right paw¡±mands never quite worked out, he found out that Mango could serve a highly useful and specific function at PUBG.

    Rice Cake looked at Mango in awe. ¡°Is this a new cheat?¡±

    ¡°I wouldn¡¯t call it a cheat. It¡¯s just an eight-time magnifying ss. Come, let¡¯s y.¡±

    The team of four did not advance into the top ten at the end of the round.

    However, it was still the most groundbreaking one for them yet. Roly Poly had managed to take out a total of three opponents. It was a new record.

    Elizabeth, Matcha, and Rice Cake huddled around his screen when the match was over.

    ¡°Wow, your aiming has be so much better! I want Mango to hold a magnifier for me too!¡± Rice Cake said enviously.

    Roly Poly shook his own head sagely while petting Mango¡¯s head. ¡°You can¡¯t just ask him to help you. It¡¯s not that simple. Cats are pretty much impossible to train. They don¡¯t like following instructions and they get bored quickly. You need to put in a whole lot of love and patience to attain the kind of chemistry that Mango and I share.¡±

    Matcha was no longer listening. He had cornered Lightning and smacked him on the back of his head.

    ¡°You¡¯re my magnifier. Whenever I y a match, you have to stand by with a magnifying ss. When I ask you to zoom in, you put that magnifier in the middle of my screen, understand?¡±

    Electric currents ran through Lightning¡¯s body in response, driving each of his hairs to stand on its end.

    ¡°Why should I?¡± he retorted angrily.

    Matcha turned his head and called out, ¡°Zhao Yao! Lightning tried to -,¡±

    The Pas¡¯ Cat fell to the ground immediately to ask for mercy.

    ¡°Okay, okay. I¡¯ll do it,¡± he said unhappily.

    He cursed Matcha under his breath.

    ¡°Tried to do what?¡± Zhao Yao called from the sofa.

    Matcha chuckled, ¡°Nothing. I just wanted to call you. You love calling us for no reason too, right?¡±

    He then turned to Lightning. ¡°Sit.¡±

    ¡°Left paw.¡±

    ¡°Right paw.¡±

    ¡°y dead.¡±

    Lightning executed eachmand perfectly, albeit unwillingly. Matcha patted his head as an indication that he did a good job. He then shot a thumbs up to his teammates.

    ¡°Trainingplete.¡±

    Elizabeth and Rice Cake looked at Matcha in awe. In contrast, Roly Poly threw him the dirtiest look he could muster.

    ¡°Well,¡± he cleared his throat, ¡°The magnifying ss is just an aid. It is only possible to reach my current standard with skill. I¡¯m sure you can see how much better I am at controlling my character now.¡±

    The cats waited for him to continue.

    ¡°And the reason for that is I¡¯ve bought an in-game elerator,¡± he said smugly.

    Rice Cake¡¯s mouth fell open. ¡°You? You bought an elerator? But you¡¯re super stingy.¡±

    Elizabeth and Matcha looked at Roly Poly curiously, waiting for his reply. Zhao Yao had bought PUBG for them. They would never spend their own money on the game or an elerator.

    Roly Poly shrugged casually, as if the money was not an issue to him. ¡°It¡¯s just a bit of money. If you want, I can get it for you too.¡±

    Their eyes lit up, practically emitting sparkles. They nodded vehemently.

    Purchasing three sets of elerators came at a cost, but it also granted Roly Poly the position of team leader. All of a sudden, his decision was the final decision. Hemanded each of them in the next few rounds.

    ¡°Let¡¯s jump to a more secluded location!¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ll lie in ambush here. If you see an enemy, run!¡±

    ¡°Give me the 98k! I¡¯ll throttle them!¡±

    The four cats embodied the flight in ¡®fight or flight¡¯. They tried their best to remain hidden and undetected, choosing to run instead of attack when confronted.

    Somehow, in thest round, they managed to inch their way into third ce.

    They had never been so close to winning before.

    Elizabeth was ecstatic.

    ¡°You¡¯re the best, Roly Poly! We¡¯re actually third!¡±

    She was looking at him with admiration, as was Rice Cake. Roly Poly was brimming with so much pride he felt like he would explode.

    He thought, ¡°It¡¯s time for change! There will be a new order among the supercats in this household!¡±

    Matcha was ring at him from a distance. Jealousy was etched in every corner of his face. He tried to focus on theptop.

    Lightning could not help but gloat. He was still upset about being ckmailed into holding that stupid magnifier.

    ¡°Are you mad?¡± he asked gleefully.

    ¡°Mind your own business,¡± Matcha retorted, smacking his paw squarely on the top of Lightning¡¯s head.

    The contact involuntarily activated his power, resulting in both of them expanding into balls of fur.

    Roly Poly could not help but relish in Matcha¡¯s misery.

    ¡°Hehe. This is the power of intelligence and wealth. I used to have only the former, but now I have the best of both worlds,¡± he thought to himself happily.

    He called out to Dust Ball as she strolled past him. ¡°Hey, do you want more catmint?¡±

    She cast him a nce, then gave a swish of her tail, indicating that she was listening.

    ¡°I can get more catmint and catmint seeds for you online. I can even get better quality ones,¡± he said earnestly.

    ¡°Are you paying for it?¡± she asked.

    ¡°Yes,¡± Roly Poly smiled, ¡°As long as you join my alliance. I¡¯ll even invest in your catmint business. I¡¯ll give you a monthly fee.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll think about it,¡± she said.

    He could tell that she was just pretending to consider his proposition.

    He chuckled to himself. ¡°Elizabeth, Rice Cake, and Dust Ball are but the beginning! I will buy my way into the heart of every cat here!¡±

    He unlocked his phone and opened one app after another.

    ¡°I have to start paying my loans next month. Oh well, I¡¯ll just borrow the amount from another app. As long as I keep finding new providers to borrow from to pay off my loan, I will have an endless source of money! I¡¯m a genius!¡±

    ¡°What are you giggling about over there?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s voice rmed him. He retreated into himself out of fright, hairs standing on their ends.

    ¡°We had a good round,¡± he answered awkwardly, ¡°I¡¯m just really happy.¡±

    Zhao Yao threw him a suspicious look, but did not press further. Instead, he headed back to his room for training.

    He morphed the deflective fields into invisible swords. They danced around him in the air, then started vibrating.

    He had fashioned the orbs of power in the shape of swords so that they were more deadly. The lethal high-frequency vibrations of Lin Chen¡¯s sword proved to him that there was more than one way to achieving that goal.

    ¡°I wonder how much more powerful mine would be if they could vibrate at high frequencies too,¡± he pondered, ¡°But how do I even make them vibrate rapidly enough to cause serious damage?¡±

    While he practised creating vibrations, he racked his brain for ideas on how to do so perfectly.

    ¡°I don¡¯t think I can reach the speed I want on my own, but I might be able to do so if I used another cat¡¯s power.¡±

    ¡°Maybe Uncle Egg¡¯s electric currents? Or Rice Cake¡¯s earthquake-level vibrations?¡±

    Zhao Yao scratched the bottom of his chin. He knew he was on to something, but he would need to experiment a little to find the right form.

    Ishida found that the local authorities took their job of shadowing him very seriously.

    When he waltzed into the hotel lobby, the first thing he saw was a group of men waving at him from the couch.

    He narrowed his eyes, then headed to his room with his assistant.

    They might be a pain, but he would not allow them to thwart his mission.

    ¡°What should we do?¡± his assistant asked, ¡°They¡¯re not gonna leave us alone.¡±

    Ishida curled his top lip. ¡°This is both an instigation and a warning. We might not be able to act, but we will find someone who can do it on our behalf. Make sure that the person has no discernible rtionship with us.¡±

    ¡°Find someone to save Miss Hanako?¡± he repeated, ¡°But we¡¯re too unfamiliar with this country to find someone we can trust quickly. We can¡¯t let you wait more than 24 hours...¡±

    His words were interrupted by soft meowing that seemed toe from Ishida. He watched in shock as the head of a ck cat emerged from behind Ishida¡¯s shadow.

    He could not understand what the cat was meowing about, but he was actually saying, ¡°Are we done? I¡¯m starving. When will food be served?¡±

    ¡°Is that...Sir Kagemaru? Our great demaster has sent him here?¡± the assistant asked.

    ¡°He has, which is why we don¡¯t have to worry about taking too much time,¡± Ishida said, patting the top of the ck cat¡¯s head.

    He might not be able to understand the cat, but he has been by his side for more than half a year. Naturally, he could guess what he was saying.

    ¡°Call room service. He needs dinner. Make sure that the food is free from salt and MSG,¡± Ishida ordered.

    The assistantplied obediently.

    ¡°Do we have to ask for help from Japan?¡± he asked.

    ¡°No,¡± Ishida responded firmly.

    This was his first overseas assignment. He refused to ask for help on the very first day. He was confident that he wouldplete it sessfully all by himself.

    He fished for the phone that he had stuck in his pocket.

    ¡°I will make a call. I have a friend who¡¯s found his footing in Jiangmen City.¡±

    *

    In an office building downtown, a man¡¯s phone began to buzz.

    The middle-aged man was dressed immactely. His hair wasbed tidily, not a strand out of ce. A gold ne sat on the base of his neck, barely in view. He took his phone from the pant pocket of his three-piece suit.

    He raised his eyebrows when he saw the caller¡¯s name.

    ¡°Why would this guy call me?¡± he wondered, then picked up the call.

    ¡°Moshi moshi, Mr. Ishida?¡±

    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s been a while. Who would have thought that you would take the initiative to contact me.¡±

    ¡°Oh, you need info on someone?¡±

    ¡°We may not be specialists in background investigations, but I doubt this would be difficult.¡±

    ¡°Alright, so the target is called Zhao Yao...¡±

    The man hung up after collecting the necessary basic information. He then shot a quick message to someone else.

    ¡°You there? Help me do a quick check on a man named Zhao Yao. He should be a local. Graduated from university about two years ago. Looks like a creep. Acts like one too. He¡¯s willing to do anything to get ahead in life.¡±

    ¡°Boss, that name is familiar. Give me a moment. I¡¯m running through our database now. Do you want a summarized profile or a detailed one?

    ¡°Detailed.¡±

    A few minutester, the man received the text he was waiting for. It contained an in-depth report of Zhao Yao¡¯s profile.

    At the end of it was a surprising note.

    ¡°This guy borrowed RMB 2,000 from us?¡± the man chuckled.

    He rified this with his employee.

    ¡°He¡¯s not the only one who took a loan. Even his sister and aunt are indebted to us. They¡¯ve chalked up thousands of dors worth of loans.¡±

    The man eyed Zhao Yao¡¯s profile again, smiling.

    ¡°Very interesting.¡±

    He shared all that he knew with Ishida, whom was taken aback by the news.

    ¡°This Zhao Yao owns his own cat cafe. He¡¯s even the super doctor of China¡¯s top officials. He should be rolling in money, not borrowing from money-lending apps. Even his family is borrowing money too? What¡¯s going on?¡± he thought.

    ¡°Could you have gotten the wrong person?¡± Ishida could not help but ask.

    ¡°No way. He owns that cat cafe, right?¡±

    Ishida bit his lip. ¡°Well, if his family is in some money trouble...¡±

    An idea struck him.

    ¡°Matsuo, you must have his mobile number, don¡¯t you?¡±

    Every user of a money-lending tform must create an ount before being able to use its services. Basic information like contact details is always collected during registration.

    Matsuo, the middle-aged man,ughed. ¡°We absolutely cannot share the personal information of our clients.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll buy his info for a hundred thousand dors.¡±

    ¡°Oh, well, if that¡¯s the case, thank you for doing business with us.¡±

    Half an hourter, Ishida hovered over his assistant, dictating the message that will be sent to Zhao Yao.

    The first message read, ¡°Excuse me, are you Zhao Yao?¡±

    The response was almost immediate. It was neither a confirmation or denial.

    ¡°Who are you?¡±

    Ishida took some time to craft the next one. ¡°I¡¯m just a fan of your super healing abilities. I¡¯ve heard much about it.¡±

    ¡°What do you want?¡±

    This reply took an even longer time to create.

    ¡°I also heard that you¡¯re facing some financial issues right now. I would like to help you.¡±

    ¡°Add me on WeChat. We¡¯ll talk there.¡±

    Ishida¡¯s eyes lit up. A rare smile graced his lips. ¡°Seems like I can buy my way to sess.¡±

    ¡°You are a genius, my lord!¡± the assistant praised, eager to please, ¡°We won¡¯t even have to lift a finger!¡±

    ¡°We don¡¯t know for sure yet. He is a rich man. We might not have the appetite to swallow his demands.¡±

    They added Zhao Yao on WeChat and browsed through his friend¡¯s list.

    ¡°These are all cats. Are they all his?¡± Ishida asked.

    ¡°I believe so. I¡¯ve definitely seen this one in the cafe before. He¡¯s rmingly fat, so he made quite a big impression on me.¡±

    Ishida nodded, then asked his assistant to fire a greeting to Zhao Yao. ¡°Hello!¡±

    Zhao Yao skipped all formalities. ¡°How much money will you give me?¡±

    The straightforward question stunned the both of them momentarily.

    ¡°He¡¯s a bit too direct, isn¡¯t he?¡± Ishidamented.

    He thought about what he should say next. ¡°There¡¯s a Japanese waitress at your cafe, right?¡±

    ¡°Why?¡±

    ¡°A friend of mine greatly admires her. Can we get to know her?¡±

    ¡°$1,000.¡±

    Ishida¡¯s face contorted in shock, then rage. ¡°Is he asking me for money?! What does he think Hanako is?!¡±

    ¡°Lord Ishida, now is not the time to get angry.¡±

    ¡°I know, I know,¡± he waved the assistant off.

    He stifled his fury and arranged for the money to be transferred to Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Could you please arrange for Hanako to have a meal with us?¡±

    Ishida knew that he could not take action anywhere near Zhao Yao or the cafe. He nned to meet Hanako somewhere else and take her back to Japan.

    He waited patiently for 20 minutes. However, a response never came. He asked his assistant to send another message to Zhao Yao.

    It failed to send. Zhao Yao had blocked their number.

    Ishida gawked at the phone,

    ¡°Wait a minute. What¡¯s happening? Why has he blocked us?¡±

    The assistant wiped the sweat from his brows. ¡°Lord Ishida, I believe we have been conned $1,000.¡±

    Ishida was so furious that it felt like his lungs were ballooning to the verge of explosion.

    What kind of monster were they dealing with?

    Roly Poly broke into a face-splitting grin when he saw the extra thousand dors in the WeChat ount. He was awfully pleased with himself.

    ¡°Dumb people are everywhere,¡± he thought happily.

    He had to put his phone down when Elizabeth called for him.

    ¡°Roly Poly, where are you?¡± she demanded, ¡°We¡¯re surrounded!¡±

    The fat cat immediately put his paws back on the keyboard. ¡°Don¡¯t panic! I¡¯m here!¡±

    *

    While Roly Poly reveled in his gain, Ishida was burning with rage from his loss.

    ¡°Scumbag! How could he swindle a stranger like this?¡± he spat.

    ¡°Should we call the police?¡± the assistant asked.

    Ishida turned to him in disbelief. He kneed him in the shin, causing the man to topple over.

    ¡°Have you gone mad? Us?¡± he said, pointing to himself, ¡°Calling the police? Us? Seriously?¡±

    His stubby right-hand man was at a loss. ¡°Then what should we do?¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ll create a new ount and contact him again. This unfortunate turn of events was notpletely fruitless. At least now we know that his greed knows no bounds. We¡¯ll use that against him. This time, we won¡¯t transfer the money until he does as he promises.¡±

    10 minutester, Ishida threw the phone across the room in a fit of rage.

    ¡°What the heck? He blocked us because we didn¡¯t want to transfer the money? Does he need money that badly?¡±

    Ishida had met all kinds of people on his climb to the top, but he had never had the displeasure of dealing with someone that greedy. He was greatly tempted to rush to his cafe and just fight him.

    Unfortunately, this was nothing more than a fantasy he could not act on, at least not with the apostle officers still in the lobby.

    He took a deep breath.

    His best shot seemed to, once again, lie with Matsuo. He picked up the phone and dialed his number.

    ¡°Hey, you said that Zhao Yao¡¯s rtives also borrowed money from you, correct?¡±

    ¡°Yeah. Why?¡±

    ¡°Loans apps like yours must employ debt recovery services, no?¡± Ishida asked.

    Matsuo raised his eyebrows. Of course he did. Some of his users just refused to pay their loans. They did not care if their names were cklisted, not just by his app, but by every bank in the country.

    Under such unfortunate circumstances, they would sell the ount to professional debt buyers for a low price.

    ¡°Just how much money does this Zhao Yao owe you? Are you serious about implicating his family too?¡± Matsuo asked, scratching his chin.

    ¡°I¡¯m unable to disclose my reasons to you. However, I am interested in buying his debt. Will you sell it to me?¡±

    Matsuo shook his head even though Ishida could not see him through the phone. ¡°We have rules to abide by. You know I want to help, but I can¡¯t just snap my fingers and make this happen.¡±

    There was a firmness in Matsuo¡¯s voice that was not there before. Ishida knew that there was only one way to convince him.

    He had to grovel endlessly.

    Thankfully, it worked.

    Ishida smiled triumphantly, ¡°Okay, I look forward to the information packet you¡¯ll share with me.¡±

    A few minutester, the promised info reached his phone. They contained personal details of Zhao Yao¡¯s younger sister and aunt.

    ¡°Let¡¯s start with the sister. They must be closer, so she would likely be an easier target,¡± Ishida said.

    He turned to his assistant. ¡°Onitsuka, send her a message. I doubt it¡¯ll be hard to bribe a college girl who¡¯s knee deep in loans.¡±

    *

    Back at Zhao Yao¡¯s house, a vibration set off Roly Poly¡¯s phone. The fat cat took a look at the new message.

    ¡°Oh? They¡¯re targeting Zhao Xue now? They never would¡¯ve guessed that I have dual SIM,¡± he chortled to himself.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s identity was not the only one that he had stolen for his escapades.

    Every night, he would head downstairs to lend Zhao Xue his power of invisibility.

    On one such asion, he remained hidden from sight so that he could steal her identity card. He had since used it to chalk up more loans.

    ¡°I¡¯m so grateful that Zhao Xue carries her ID everywhere she goes,¡± Roly Poly sighed blissfully.

    His eyes thennded on Baiquan, then Hanako.

    They lit up.

    *

    ¡°How is it? Has she replied?¡± Ishida asked anxiously.

    ¡°Yes, she has,¡± his assistant, Onitsuka, nodded, ¡°She¡¯s more polite than her brother was. Should we be honest with her?¡±

    Ishida waved him off instantly. ¡°No, don¡¯t. Let me think about this.¡±

    He scratched the bottom of his chin thoughtfully. ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s wise to be too frank. We might scare her off. All the same, we must be quick about it. We don¡¯t have much time.¡±

    There was a short pause as he considered his options. ¡°Perhaps...¡±

    Onitsuka interrupted him. ¡°She¡¯s sent us a message.¡±

    ¡°What does it say?¡±

    ¡°She said she¡¯ll block us if we do not transfer RMB 500 to her in 10 seconds.¡±

    ¡°Bloody hell,¡± Ishida cursed, ¡°Is the entire family that hard up?¡±

    Onitsuka¡¯s next words were careful, ¡°So, do we give her the money?¡±

    Ishida took a session of deep breaths as if to calm himself.

    ¡°Do it,¡± he said, brows knitted together.

    ¡°How much?¡±

    ¡°500!¡±

    Onitsuka did not need to be told again. He got to work immediately, thumbs flying across the screen as he made the transfer.

    Within seconds, his entire body tensed. He blinked at his phone a few times, then looked up at his boss uncertainly.

    ¡°What is it this time?¡± Ishida fumed.

    ¡°She said we took more than 10 seconds to give her the money. She has blocked us.¡±

    Ishida was speechless. He balled his fist tightly, then rxed his fingers, exhaling as he did so.

    ¡°They¡¯re a family of liars, cons, and absolutely scums of the earth. Atrocious!¡±

    ¡°What should we do now? Try Zhao Yao¡¯s aunt?¡±

    ¡°We can try,¡± Ishida said, defeat seeping through his words, ¡°But this time, we¡¯re not sending any messages or entertaining any money transfers. Call her.¡±

    At Xiao Yu¡¯s house, Fish Ball was hiding under his owner¡¯s bed covers.

    ¡°It¡¯s too cold! I¡¯m literally freezing my butt off,¡± heined, curling up into a tight ball.

    He poked his head from underneath the thick quilt, then retracted it immediately.

    ¡°This weather is too much for lil¡¯ old me. I shall leave when Xiao Yu is back.¡±

    Fish Ball had always been susceptible to the cold, so he loved huddling under Xiao Yu¡¯s covers. However, she never permitted him to do so.

    He could only snuggle against her quilt in secret when no one was at home. He was adept at rearranging her bedsheets and covers into their original position, leaving no trace of his misdeed behind.

    ¡°This is perfect weather for ying games underneath the covers,¡± he sighed contentedly.

    Fish Ball settled into the mostfortable possible position and opened the King¡¯s Glory app. He was about to start a match when he received an iing phone call. It was from an unfamiliar number.

    ¡°Hmm? Who could that be?¡± he wondered, eyeing the digits shed on the screen with suspicion, ¡°It must be a scam.¡±

    He decided to decline it.

    He ended having to decline a few more calls in session. All of them came from the same strange number.

    ¡°Why, I never knew that scam groups were so dedicated.¡±

    He was about to reject the call again when a tremendous weight descended on him. He found himself wedged ufortably between this horrible weight and the mattress.

    Noodle licked his lips as hey on top of the covers. He shifted around, causing Fish Ball to yelp in pain from the movement.

    ¡°Get off me, you dumb dog! Who said you could get on the bed? I¡¯m telling Xiao Yu about this!¡±

    ¡°Go ahead. Tell her and she¡¯ll know that you snuggle against her covers pathetically when she¡¯s away at school every day.¡±

    Noodle adjusted his position again, identally rejecting another iing call in the process.

    Ishida and Onitsuka kept trying.

    Unfortunately, their hard work did not pay off. Not a single one of the calls got through.

    They ended up sending her a text message instead.

    In that moment, it seemed like all three leads had gone cold.

    ¡°Lord Ishida, what is our next move?¡± Onitsuka asked.

    While the assistant was clearly feeling defeated by the session of failures, Ishida looked like he was just getting started. You could almost see the cogs turning in his mind.

    ¡°We¡¯ll have to change our strategy,¡± he concluded simply.

    There was a venomous expression on his handsome face.

    Ishida spoke to the shadow that was settled next to his feet. ¡°Have you finished eating, Kagemaru?¡±

    The shadow was no longer aspact as it had been. It was now at least five meters long. Tendrils branched out from the ck mass, sweeping the tes of food on the table into its depths, from which emitted sounds of chewing and swallowing.

    The shadow let out a satisfied meow in response to Ishida¡¯s question.

    ¡°Good. Then let¡¯s go.¡±

    The solid outlines of Ishida¡¯s body began to soften and blur before Onitsuka¡¯s eyes. He watched in awe as Ishida began to merge with the shadow, eventually bing one with it.

    ¡°This is Lord Kagemaru¡¯s power? It is phenomenal!¡± he eximed.

    ¡°The Chinese believe that they can keep close tabs on me, but that really is just wistful thinking. You wait here. I¡¯ll be back,¡± Ishida said.

    With that, the shadow darted out of the hotel room through the gap between the door and the floor.

    As Ishida bolted through the hotel¡¯s hallways, he could not help regretting that he did not sneak into the country in shadow form.

    ¡°It would have kept those irritating officers off my back,¡± he thought.

    That might have been a mistake, but it was not toote to rectify it now. As a shadow, he could leave the hotel under their noses andplete his mission. As long as returned quickly and made deliberate appearances to show that he had been in his room all day, no one would suspect what he had been up to.

    *

    That night, Zhao Xue was training at the usual spot near her brother¡¯s apartment.

    It had been almost a month since she first started borrowing the Sphynx¡¯s power to train. It was obvious that the time and effort had paid off. Each of her movements was lightning quick and pointedly urate. Every kick and punch she threw was apanied by an audible swoosh.

    The vast progress she had made was not lost on Zhao Yao.

    ¡°She¡¯s stronger than an Olympic champion now. She might even be stronger than an Avenger,¡± he observed, watching her closely.

    Zhao Xue was moving so swiftly that a normal person would be unable to catch what she was doing. It would just look like a great, big blur. Of course, Zhao Yao was no normal human. He had thebined power of five cats, so he was even quicker than she was. His eyes could discern each of her actions and he busied himself analyzing her attacking and defensive moves.

    ¡°She is on her way to being as powerful as the Butcher, but her body is transforming differently,¡± he thought, scanning her from head to toe, ¡°That Muscle Society was full of meatheads whose arms were too muscr to fit into sleeves. Zhao Xue looks more like abination of a sprinter and a high-diver. She¡¯s more lean than muscr, but she sure packs a punch.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes zed over as he considered why she was developing differently.

    ¡°Is it a gender thing?¡±

    Baiquan¡¯s newly acquired body appeared in his head.

    ¡°Nope, that can¡¯t be it. Baiquan¡¯s not be a bodybuilder either. Perhaps it¡¯s because I leveled up the Sphynx. Maybe his ability is not just more powerful now, but more refined.¡±

    Zhao Yao was happy with this conclusion, even if he was wrong. The most important thing was that Zhao Xue and Baiquan were happy with their new appearance. Neither of them was particrly keen on packing massive muscles. If that had been the aftermath of their training, they would not want to continue and Zhao Yao would not want to coerce them into it.

    While Zhao Yao continued his observation, Roly Poly was worming deeper into his chest. The fat cat was here because he needed to lend his power to Zhao Xue. Now that that was done, he had nothing else to do. He was cold and bored.

    ¡°It is animal abuse to be forced toe out here on such a cold winter¡¯s day! Does he want me to freeze to death?¡± he thought begrudgingly, curling into a ball.

    Of course, theseints were kept strictly to himself. He dared not mention them to his owner.

    When the training session came to an end, Zhao Xue made her way to her brother, whom she saw as King George.

    Her face was flushed from the constant exertion. She was panting so hard that the sound rang through the night. The temperature in the air was so low that there was visible steam pouring from her body.

    She sat down and faced King George. ¡°Did I do okay?¡±

    ¡°That was not bad at all. You¡¯ve been working hard recently.¡±

    ¡°I have to. There seem to be more and more apostles now. Some of them have even rallied together to form alliances at my university. The worst part is that supercat-rted crime is on the rise. I must grow stronger.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded with understanding. Censorship of supercat rumors online seemed to have be more rxed. The authorities have not officially acknowledged the situation, but they have also stopped eradicating the stories and conspiracies that were stered all over the Inte.

    When Zhao Xue was done grumbling about the current state of affairs, she turned to King George and looked at him seriously. She only started speaking when he turned to her.

    ¡°The Headless Horseman is her, isn¡¯t it?¡± she asked.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s left eyebrow twitched involuntarily.

    ¡°How did youe across the Headless Horseman?¡± he asked in return.

    ¡°It was all over the Cat Web this morning,¡± Zhao Xue replied.

    She rummaged in her bag and produced a handphone. She offered it to Zhao Yao carefully, as if it was not just a phone, but a piece of cherished treasure.

    ¡°Do you know about the Cat Web? You can ess it with this phone. It¡¯s a space for apostles and supercats to interact and bond. I was browsing through it when I read about the Headless Horseman, whom is supposed to be the strongest apostle in all of Jiangmen City. And guess what? The name of her supercat is King George!¡±

    She was beaming at Zhao Yao, genuine excitement radiating from every pore. He could almost see stars shimmering in her eyes. She looked stupidly starstruck.

    Zhao Yao pursed his lips. ¡°Yes, that King George is me.¡±

    Zhao Xue was delighted by his admission, but she wanted more information.

    ¡°So, does that mean that the Headless Horseman is her? It¡¯s Guang Yu, isn¡¯t it?¡±

    ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°What? How can that be? Isn¡¯t she your apostle? Isn¡¯t the Headless Horseman also your apostle? You just admitted it. I also read on the Cat Web that when the Horseman used her greatest power, she was bathed in bright, golden light, just like Guang Yu!¡±

    Zhao Xue gently squished and pinched King George¡¯s face, hoping to get a ¡®yes¡¯ out of him.

    ¡°It must be her, right?¡± she asked, batting her eyshes.

    Zhao Yao let out a heavy sigh. ¡°What¡¯s it to you? I told you. You don¡¯t stand a chance.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s not the point,¡± Zhao Xue muttered, blushing, ¡°I just wanted to know the truth. It¡¯s so amazing that the amazing Headless Horseman is actually a woman. It¡¯s also really cool that I know her personally and I¡¯m the only one who knows her true identity.¡±

    Zhao Yao moved away from her in annoyance. ¡°Well, I would advise you to keep your nose out of the business of strangers. You should spend time on your family instead. You¡¯ve got a brother, don¡¯t you? It wouldn¡¯t hurt to show him a bit of concern.¡±

    It was Zhao Xue¡¯s turn to purse her lips. ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. Mom told me that he¡¯s struck it rich. He drives a fancy sports car and cohabits with some Japanese chick. He¡¯s even blocked Mom¡¯s friends from viewing his WeChat profile. Seriously, who does he think he is?¡±

    Zhao Yao could not help but shoot his sister a re. ¡°There are two sides to every story. Middle-aged women love to gossip and exaggerate. He is your brother after all. You should be kind to him and you should keep in touch with him.¡±

    She nodded begrudgingly.

    Zhao Yao let out a sigh. ¡°So, you mentioned that there are supercat alliances in your school now. Have you joined one of them?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, I did. I was curious, so I joined one. I wasn¡¯t very impressed though.¡±

    ¡°Just stop wasting your time on this group of self-proimed apostles,¡± Zhao Yao cautioned, ¡°Instead of focusing your attention on these gossips, you should concentrate on your training. Understand?¡±

    ¡°Alright, alright.¡± Zhao Xue responded with a perfunctory nod. She had already grown numb to King George¡¯s incessant lecturing. Every day, he would repeat the same old thing about keeping a low profile in order to ensure one¡¯s safety.

    Zhao Yao recognized that exasperated expression on her face and responded with even more lecturing, ¡°Do you understand that this is all for your own good? Do you know how dangerous the world of superpower is? You never know what kind of power an average Joe might possess! You are just one mistake away from bidding farewell to this world!

    No matter how strong you be, you are still powerless when other apostles have set their eyes on you. One sneak attack and you are dead.¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes ...¡± Zhao Xue responded with another round of relentless nodding.

    ¡°Oh yes, did you happen to mention your power to the other members?¡±

    Her forehead furrowed together as she replied with a violent shake of her head, ¡°Of course not! You repeated so many times to never divulge my power. Obviously, I listened to you!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s good. You must remember that the key to any superpower battles is to keep your ability a secret.¡±

    An invisible weight tugged at the corner of her lips, turning her face into a frown as she whispered in her head, ¡°What happened to King George? Why is he so naggy nowadays? He¡¯s just like my mum.¡±

    After what seemed like an eternity, training finally ended which meant the end of the non-stop lecturing. On her way back to the dormitory, a thought suddenly dawned on her, ¡°Oh shit, I forgot to mention about the money lending tform!¡±

    Since joining the superpower group in her school, she had participated in an investigation surrounding a money lending tform. Originally, she wanted to consult King George on his opinions on this matter. However, itpletely slipped her mind as she was preupied with all those lecturing.

    ¡°Never mind, I will bring it up during my next training ...¡±

    ...

    Even though Zhao Xue had already left, Zhao Yao remained seated on one of the benches in the garden. He then sent a few ps across Roly Poly¡¯s giant belly before instructing him, ¡°Roly Poly, you can go back first. When you¡¯re in the belly, help me get Ares and Dust Ball over here.¡±

    With a snap of his fingers, a tiny door appeared right in front of Roly Poly. The door was enveloped in beams of dazzling light. It was simply breathtaking.

    Roly Poly immediately bolted towards this mysterious door as his furry body brushed across Zhao Yao¡¯s calf as he disappeared into it.

    The moment his body entered this portal, the original smile on his face instantly disappeared. In its ce was a nonchnt expression.

    Roly Poly muttered, ¡°Tsk. Zhao Yao, this fe is getting distracted. He spends all his time on those two scumbags, Elizabeth and Matcha, instead of me. At this rate, I must hasten my progress to establish my empire!¡±

    The moment he entered the extradimensional belly, a familiar rumbling rang in his ears. He could detect something inching towards him. The stomps grew louder and louder as a giant shadow loomed over Roly Poly, encapsting his entire body within it.

    ¡°Roly Poly! You have finally returned!¡±

    Bam! Lion Head instantly pounced atop Roly Poly¡¯s back, crushing him with her gigantic frame. Roly Poly almost fainted from this ¡®surprise attack¡¯ as the crushing weight continued squashing against him.

    ¡°Roly Poly, I think about you every day, every hour, every minute and every second. How about you? Do you miss me?¡±

    Roly Poly exerted all his strength as he struggled to escape from this furry monster. Roly Poly immediately shot her a dismissive nce and retorted, ¡°I¡¯m busy. I have no time for your nonsense today.¡± However, Lion Head seemed to be oblivious to his words and continued pestering him. Left with no choice, Roly Poly turned her invisible with a sigh of despair. To him, not seeing the problem was as good as solving it.

    He then approached Ares and instructed, ¡°Zhao Yao is looking for you. Just walk towards that bright door over there.¡±

    A glimmer shot across Ares¡¯s eyes as he thought, ¡°That guy promised to bring me out one day. Is that day today?¡± Just the thought of leaving this ce was enough to lift his mood as joy welled up in his heart.

    Next, Roly Poly went over to the catmint garden. As usual, Roly Poly was busy tending to the nts as she carefully sprinkled water over them. She then scattered a handful of seeds over the soil with a wide grin stered on her face.

    Roly Poly then crept towards her with a serious expression, ¡°How is it Dust Ball? Have you considered my proposition?¡± While he was speaking, an invisible force seemed to be pressing against his cheeks, distorting his face. Actually, it was caused by Lion Head¡¯s tongue licking furiously across his face.

    Dust Ball reciprocated his seriousness with a gentle nod, ¡°We¡¯ll talk about it after your initial investment. I am interested in a batch of catmint from Yunnan. I¡¯ll join you if this catmint appears in front of me.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, just give me the URL by tonight. I¡¯ll help you settle it.¡±

    After a few rounds of short exchanges, Roly Poly left with a mysterious smile on his face. However, he did not leave. Instead, he began to pace up and down as he continued to observe the cats absorbed in theirputer games.

    On the other hand, Ares and Dust Ball had already appeared on the other end of the dazzling door.

    Dust Ball had already gone through it umpteen times and waspletely indifferent to it.

    However, the same could not be said for Ares. He could hardly believe his eyes as he stared at this captivating night sky.

    Since Hao Cang¡¯s demise, Ares had spent all his time inside the suffocating belly. He had already forgotten what it felt to be in the wild. This scene felt so strange yet familiar.

    ¡°It¡¯s so cold outside.¡±

    This was the first thing he noticed.

    ¡°What¡¯s the temperate?¡±

    This was the first question which popped into his head.

    Suddenly, it dawned on him.

    ¡°Where is my phone? Did I leave it back there?¡¯

    ¡°That means I have no inte.¡±

    ¡°Everything seems so dangerous without inte.¡±

    ¡°I wanna go home.¡±

    Ares immediately swept his head around, only to realize that the door had vanished. This unsettling new environment plunged him into despair. His eyes then darted towards Zhao Yao as he spoke, ¡°After some consideration, I realized that today isn¡¯t an ideal day for me to go out. I think we can postpone this excursion to ater date.¡±

    Zhao Yao began to cackle uncontrobly at Ares¡¯s predicament. The cat was a unique species. If not for the opportunity to hunt or mate in the wild, they would rather spend all their time in theforts of a home. This was especially true for domestic cats. Zhao Yao just didn¡¯t expect a supercat to behave like this as well.

    ¡°Today is the day. From today onwards, the both of you will be going out frequently for missions.¡±

    Zhao Yao did not release them on a whim. Instead, it was to experiment with the delegation function of his BOOK.

    Since reaching level 6, the BOOK had earned an additional function of delegation. This allowed supercats themselves toplete missions and earn experience points without Zhao Yao. However, the experience points earned could only be used on the cats themselves, and no one else.

    However, this was good enough. If handled correctly, Zhao Yao could simplyze at home while the experience points continued to pour in.

    Hence, he decided to see how it would all turn out by releasing them from the belly.

    The reason Zhao Yao chose Ares and Dust Ball was because of the nature of their powers.

    Ares¡¯s power provided the most imprable defense. Coupled with Dust Ball¡¯s escaping tools, this pair was the safestbination amongst the cats, hence making them the perfect guinea pigs.

    On the other hand, Ares had been begging to leave the belly. Meanwhile, Dust Ball was already so used to life outside the belly.

    Thus, Zhao Yao settled the two cats in front of him before exining how the entire thing worked.

    ¡°This is King George¡¯s power. It allows you toplete missions and earn experience points to grow stronger ...¡±

    ¡°Missions? Grow Stronger?¡± Suddenly, Ares¡¯s eyes began to sparkle with excitement. After spending so much time onputer games, he was no stranger to the notions of missions.

    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Zhao Yao nodded his head as he continued, ¡°Today is your first time doing it, so I¡¯m gonna tag along and remind you of some key points to take note of. After today, you will be on your own. The more missionspleted, the more experience points earned, the stronger you grow.¡±

    Those words were music to the cats¡¯ ears as they listened attentively to Zhao Yao¡¯s instructions.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes began to scan his phone¡¯s screen as he continued, ¡°Firstly, you have to identify individuals who require your help. The individuals must be rted to supercats. From my experience, it¡¯s also dependent on their nationality. For example, it¡¯s more likely to receive a mission from Japanese.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s fingers began to dart across the map application as he continued to impart his hard-earned wisdom to his new padawans ¨C Ares and Dust Ball.

    ¡°Today, I¡¯ll be teaching you how to urately identify someone in distress andplete a mission. Keep your eyes peeled and learn as much as possible.¡±

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao started to extend his index finger into his mouth. It seemed as if he was fishing for something, ¡°Roly Poly,e out.¡±

    Meanwhile, Roly Poly was totally absorbed in his conversation with Gaia. Hence, he did not even notice Zhao Yao¡¯s call. Suddenly, he felt a hard tug on the back of his neck as he was forcefully dragged out of the belly.

    Immediately, Roly Poly had settled on his usual position ¨C atop Zhao Yao¡¯s left shoulder. Without even reminding him, Roly Poly had already cast his power on Zhao Yao.

    The party of a man and four cats started making their way towards the city as they followed the tiny blue dot on the map.

    ...

    Meanwhile, Sato was finally released by the Chinese government apostles.

    His predicament in China was beyond terrible. Since leading the sneak attack on Zhao Yao, he was instead held captive by Zhao Yao and was grilled for hours. After what seemed like eons, he was then handed over to Lin Chen.

    Obviously, he had no idea why he was suddenly released today. Actually, it was all part of the government¡¯s n to bait Ishida into revealing his grand ns. To the government, Sato was just a tiny pawn in their grand scheme of things.

    Walking along the unfamiliar streets of Jiangmen, Sato could not help but feel so disoriented and scared. Immediately, he reached his hands into his pocket for his phone, only to realize that he had run out of value. He could only depend on his vague memory as he made his way towards Storm¡¯s headquarters in Jiangmen.

    However, Jiangmen City was just too big. After more than half an hour of aimless walking, Sato finally admitted that he was lost.

    ¡°D*mn it.¡± His body locked up with rage as he stared at the skyscrapers towering over him. He was so angry and frustrated with everything that had happened. Suddenly, Zhao Yao¡¯s image began to float into his mind.

    ¡°That stupid Chinese man! I would make him pay back for everything that he had done if I ever meet him again. I must give him a taste of hell!¡±

    The chance to feed Zhao Yao his own medicine was Sato¡¯s only motivation during his time locked in his tiny cell. His anger fueled his perseverance which allowed him to endure all those humiliations.

    ...

    On a rooftop not too far away, Zhao Yao suddenly halted as the three cats tagged behind him. He noticed Sato standing along the street at the corner of his eyes. Immediately, beams of excitement shot out of his eyes as he announced. ¡°I guess it¡¯s your lucky day. I didn¡¯t expect to meet a Japanese on your very first mission. You guys are really lucky!¡±

    ¡°Furthermore, I have met this Japanese before. He isn¡¯t particrly dangerous or conformational. Yet, we can squeeze quite a few missions out of him. He is the perfect candidate for your first mission!¡±

    As Zhao Yao spoke, he squatted next to Ares before presenting a phone to him, ¡°Ares, this is the phone which I have specially prepared for you. Don¡¯t worry, I have already deposited some money into it. If you face any problems during your missions, use this phone to contact me immediately. Ideally, this is just a tool for you tomunicate with humans.¡±

    Naturally, the sess of the mission was heavily dependent on the cats¡¯ interaction with the humans. Hence, Zhao Yao had entrusted this important tasks to Ares. Compared to Dust Ball, Ares¡¯s deflective field granted him the perfect skill to handle the phone. The precision and uracy of his movements were evident in his gaming career.

    The deflective field was even more effective than a pair of stubby human hands.

    Hence, Zhao Yao descended from the rooftop and stopped next to Sato and started walking right next to him, shoulder to shoulder. In his invisible state, he continued flooding Ares and Dust Ball an endless list of pointers, ¡°The first thing to do after finalizing your target is to lure him to a secluded corner. You must remember to not attract any attention to yourself throughout the entire execution phase. The worst thing is to have your actions caught on tape ...¡±

    While exining, Zhao Yao suddenly threw his arms in the air before eximing, ¡°This is a good opportunity!¡±

    A gust of intense wind started blowing out of nowhere. By then, the deflective field had already morphed into the shape of a palm as it pped across Sato¡¯s body, throwing him into a secluded cul-de-sac.

    Ah!

    Following a shrilling shriek, Sato had copsed to the ground as he writhed in pain. His lips drew back into a snarl as he eximed, ¡°What is it?¡±

    Suddenly, he noticed two huge shadows moving around in the corner. Sato immediately got to his feet as he demanded, ¡°Who is it?¡±

    Instead of two thugs appearing, two adorable kittens appeared from the shadows. The two pairs of giant eyes stared at him as they began to scrutinize him from head to toe.

    Even before turning into an apostle, Sato had always been fond of little animals such as cats. Hence, he immediately lowered his guards when greeted by this pair of adorable guests. Simrly, the snarl evaporated and turned into a wide grin as he asked, ¡°Hey, little cats, what happened? Are you guys hungry?¡±

    Both Zhao Yao and Roly Poly were hidden in the corner as Zhao Yao began to pour out even more instructions, ¡°Look at his head! Currently, you do not see the golden exmation mark above it. This means that there are no missions. Hence, you have to find some way to change the status quo. You can only help him when there is a mission!

    If he has a mission which he can entrust to you, the golden exmation mark will appear above his head.

    A tip for the both of you, when faced with Japanese, you can start by asking politely if he requires any help.¡±

    Hence, Ares acted ordingly and typed out a string of words on the phone. Immediately, the sentence was transformed into a voice message as it red out, ¡°Nice to meet you! Is there anything that I can help you with?¡±

    ¡°Who¡¯s talking?¡± Sato¡¯s chest tightened with fear when that mysterious voice rang in his ears. His eyes then immediately darted towards the source of the creepy voice.

    ¡°The golden exmation mark is still missing!¡± Ares¡¯s forehead creased together as he began to weigh the situation carefully. Meanwhile, Dust Ball had already reacted to the problem...

    With her mouth stretched wide open, Dust Ball began to suck every strand of fabric out of Sato¡¯s body.

    Sato was bbergasted by this incredulous scene. He immediately threw his hands forward and managed to cover his vitals in the nick of time. He then whispered to himself, ¡°Supercats?¡±

    Suddenly, Dust Ball began to wink frantically in Sato¡¯s direction as she eximed, ¡°Quickly! Ask him if he requires any help!¡±

    The three pairs of eyes naturally gravitated towards Sato following Dust Ball¡¯s intense winks. Finally, the familiar punctuation had returned to Sato¡¯s head.

    A wide grin appeared on Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he instructed, ¡°Do not get too excited. This is the most important part. You must ask your questions tactfully. Always maintain eye contact. Talk less and listen more. Let him know that you are here to help him. Do not scream at him or turn your back at him. This will simply infuriate him. Worst case, he might even attack you.¡±

    Ares nodded his head and mustered the gentlest expression he was capable of. His tender eyes stared straight at Sato as he began to type out another string of words. Once again, it was turned into a voice message as it rang, ¡°Hi, nice to meet you. Is there anything that I can do for you?¡±

    There was something familiar about that voice yet Sato could not put his fingers to it. He could only retort angrily, ¡°Help? You took away my clothes and you have the audacity to ask if I need your help? Just return me my clothes already!¡±

    As Sato¡¯s voice rang in their heads, Ares and Dust Ball had received their first ever mission.

    Mission: Help Sato find his clothes

    Objective: Return Sato his clothes

    Reward: Five experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    Ares was overwhelmed with excitement as he saw his first mission appear right before his eyes. He began to scream in delight, ¡°I¡¯ve got it! I¡¯ve received my first mission! It¡¯s five experience points!¡±

    Dust Ball was also rather excited as shemented, ¡°I¡¯ve also received it.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the mission? Quickly try andplete it!¡±

    Ares began to read out the contents word by word. As usual, Dust Ball simply cut to the chase and vomited all of Sato¡¯s clothes out of her mouth.

    Sato immediately scrambled across the floor as he gathered his precious clothes.

    A wide grin appeared on both cats¡¯ faces as they screamed, ¡°We¡¯vepleted the mission! It¡¯splete!¡±

    ¡°I can see the change in experience points!¡± Ares dered excitedly, ¡°I¡¯ve gone from lv5(2000/5000) to lv5(2005/5000).¡±

    Dust Ball chimed in happily, ¡°I¡¯ve also received it! I¡¯ve gone from lv8(0/50000) to lv8(5/50000)!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s the way to go!¡± Zhao Yao continued to shower them with encouragements, ¡°This is the general flow behind every mission. If you continue to put in your 100%, you will be able to upgrade in no time!¡±

    Ares¡¯s ears gave a slight quiver when he heard Dust Ball¡¯s words. The smile on his face was long gone. In its ce was a disdainful re as he muttered, ¡°That brat is actually three levels higher than me?¡±

    Ares swept his head around and sent a p across Sato¡¯s face who was still busy buttoning his shirt. He immediately copsed to the ground with a deafening scream.

    ¡°Do you need my help?¡±

    ¡°I ... I remember ... it¡¯s you again!¡± Sato was trembling with anger as he screamed, ¡°At least let me put on my clothes first!¡±

    Zhao Yao noticed the gleaming exmation mark at the corner of his eyes and nodded his head in delight, ¡°Ares, you are truly born for this.¡±

 Chapter 372: Childish Squabbles

    <h4>Chapter 372: Childish Squabbles</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    It had been half an hour since Ares first met Sato.

    ¡°This is easier than expected,¡± Ares muttered as he lifted Sato up effortlessly with a snap of his fingers before mming him against the ground once more. Sato was lying motionlessly on the cold, hard concrete as another golden exmation mark appeared above his ck and blue face.

    ¡°Do you need my help?¡±

    ¡°Stop ... stop hitting me. I beg you. I¡¯ll let you help me. I¡¯ll let you help me with everything!¡±

    A smile danced on Ares¡¯s lips as he readily epted all the missions. He continued by saying, ¡°I already told you that this was easy. Humans work in the exact same way as aputer. All you need to do is smash and p against their thick skull and you¡¯ll receive the mission!¡±

    Ares¡¯scent words left Dust Ball rather bitter and jealous as she whispered, ¡°If you continue like this, I won¡¯t be able toplete any missions at all. That means I¡¯ll have zero experience points.¡±

    ¡°So is it my fault that you are so ipetent that you cannotplete any missions?¡±

    Those words were as good as daggers and arrows raining down on Dust Ball. This was war. With rage sweeping through her body, Dust Ball shot her paw in the air beforending a barrage of ps against Ares¡¯s back.

    ¡°How dare youy your paws on me?¡± Ares smile had long disappeared into a snarl as he retaliated with a series of punches on Dust Ball¡¯s head.

    Meow!

    Meow!

    Both cats were on the verge of tearing each other to shreds.

    Zhao Yao finally raised his head when he realized that things were about to go south. He simply stepped forward and instantly obstructed them from continuing their fight, ¡°Alright, alright, stop it. Anyway, we won¡¯t be able to squeeze any more missions out of this guy, so let¡¯s just move on to our next target. Remember toplete the mission together. If I find out that any of you are acting alone, I¡¯ll ban you from all future missions!¡±

    Dust Ball and Ares were picked because of theplementary nature of their powers. There were bound to be vulnerabilities if any of them acted alone. It would be disastrous if their weaknesses were exposed and they got caught.

    ¡°But he¡¯s the one who threw out the first punch!¡±

    ¡°Bullsh*t! He¡¯s the one who punched me first!¡±

    Faced with this incessant squabbling, Zhao Yao could only m his face against the concrete wall in despair. Suddenly, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyebrows locked together as his killer aura poured out of his body. This was enough to stop their childish fights. Both cats were trembling in fear as they nodded meekly andplied.

    ¡°Stop arguing and move on. We will proceed to our next objective.¡±

    Roly Poly, which was perched on Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulder, noticed Ares and Dust Ball¡¯s sudden change in attitude and whispered to himself, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that Zhao Yao had actually killed a cat before. Just now, the killer aura he produced was so intense that I almost peed on myself.¡±

    With those agonizing figures finally gone, Sato struggled to raise his head up as anger and fury continued to pour out of him. His bloodshot eyes stared at where Ares and Dust Ball stood as he continued to tremble with rage.

    A bulging vein popped across his forehead as he eximed, ¡°An eye for an eye! I will find you and destroy all of you!¡±

    Initially, the familiar voice misled him to think that Zhao Yao was back to haunt him. However, he finally understood that Zhao Yao was simply a spectator after getting tortured in Ares¡¯s paws for more than half an hour. The humiliation suffered from this ordeal was far worse than before.

    Currently, Zhao Yao sat on the third spot for his most wanted list. Recing him on the first and second spot were Ares and Dust Ball respectively.

    After a few minutes of rest, Sato finally managed to get back on his feet and continued his search for hispanions.

    Inside a small sedan parked at the corner of a nearby street, a fatsomented, ¡°It seems like this guy had been abused by two stray cats.¡±

    The teenage girl who had her hair tied up in a ponytailmented, ¡°What a useless fool. He couldn¡¯t even defend himself against stray cats.¡±

    Sweat continued to trickle down the fatso¡¯s back as he replied, ¡°After all, they are still supercats.¡±

    This pair of inconspicuous individuals was Lin Chen¡¯s subordinates. The fat one was Xiao Cong while the girl was Ice. Their mission was to stalk Sato for the entire day.

    Since Sato technically belonged to an overseas criminal organization, both of them had no intentions to stop these stray cats from torturing him. In their eyes, Sato couldn¡¯t possibly die in those cats¡¯ paws.

    ¡°Follow him.¡±

    After hours of relentless search, Sato finally found Onitsuka resting in a tavern along a random street in Jiangmen.

    Shock and terror overtook Onitsuka¡¯s face as he stared at Sato¡¯s bruised face. He immediately asked, ¡°Sato? Where have you been all this while?¡±

    ¡°I was captured by the Chinese government apostles and was only released recently.¡± Sato was already on the verge of tears at this moment as he continued, ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this. Do we still have any supercats with us?¡±

    After half an hour, Onitsuka brought Sato over to meet Lord Ishida.

    His forehead furrowed together when he heard news of his release as he roared at the top of his voice, ¡°R*tards, this is a trap! They purposely released you so that you can lead them to me!¡±

    Actually, Onitsuka and Sato weren¡¯t stupid. They were just slow. They finally reacted to the situation when Ishida¡¯s furious voice rang in their heads.

    ¡°What are we supposed to do then?¡¯

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, just calm down. This is just a desperation move by the Chinese. From now onwards, continue with what you are supposed to do. Act like everything¡¯s normal.¡± Ishida ordered.

    As for Zhao Yao and Hanako, he had already nned to take care of things on his own. With his unique powers, he was confident of taking down Zhao Yao without a single person learning the truth.

    However, he didn¡¯t manage to find Zhao Yao¡¯s sister after camping at her campus for the entire day. From the looks of it, he had to pay the school a few more visits.

    However, Sato was still boiling from anger because of the humiliation suffered. He then looked towards Ishida and reported, ¡°Boss! I¡¯ve discovered two supercats on my way here! They possess the power of space maniption. We should capture them!¡±

    He wanted Ishida to exact revenge on his behalf so badly. However, he obviously couldn¡¯t tell him the truth. Hence, he intended to lure Ishida with the pretext of the cats¡¯ amazing powers. In the world of supercats, space-rted powers continued to be a highly sought-after ability.

    ¡°Oh, space maniption?¡± Those words had caught Ishida¡¯s attention as his eyes gleamed with excitement, ¡°Tell me more about it.¡±

    Hence, Sato began to recount the previous incident, carefully censoring the parts where he was trounced by two cats. Ishida nodded along to Sato¡¯s words as hemented, ¡°To be able to extract matters out of thin air is truly a useful skill to have. The other power is just another form of psychokinesis. It is not as rare as the first power.¡±

    Sato¡¯s eyes beamed with excitement as he eximed, ¡°Does this mean that we are going to capture these cats?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Ishida nodded before shaking his head, ¡°No, I have some missions to attend to. I¡¯ll just leave these cats to the both of you.¡±

    ¡°Us?¡± Ishida¡¯s response plunged Sato in despair, ¡°But I have zero superpower.¡±

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you an apostle? What¡¯s stopping you from getting a new superpower?¡± Ishida responded with a sly grin.

    Suddenly, Sato noticed a cat¡¯s paw appearing out of a shadow as it tapped against his feet.

    ¡°Even Master Kagemaru is here?¡± Sato immediately sealed his mouth shut halfway into his sentence. He could feel a surge of warm energy flooding into his body. This could only mean one thing. Master Kagemaru was transferring his power over to him.

    Ten secondster, Sato felt the unique sensation slowly dissipate from his body. He opened his eyes and found himself five meters away from his original position. He had sprung from the position of one shadow to another.

    Shadow Jump allowed the users to use the shadows as portals for them to traverse across freely. This was the exact power Sato used against Zhao Yao previously. However, he was endowed with the power back in Japan before he flew over to Jiangmen thest time around.

    This time, it was different. The Japanese even sent Master Kagemaru over.

    Lord Ishida nodded his head to Sato¡¯s queries. Master Kagemaru¡¯s power was truly formidable. It allowed the users to turn into shadows and wield them as weapons. You could even use them as gateways to travel around. However, not all apostles were strong enough to wield all its power.

    The apostle¡¯spatibility and innate strength were key factors determining how much power they could borrow from Master Kagemaru.

    Sato was only capable of using sh Jump. On the other hand, Onitsuka could only use the shadows as weapons.

    However, just these two abilities were good enough. They were far stronger than your ordinary superpowers.

    Ishida instructed, ¡°I have an important mission on hand. Sato and Onitsuka, I¡¯ll leave it to the both of you to capture those two cats.¡±

    Sato¡¯s hands squeezed into tight fists as his temples throbbed with rage, ¡°Lord Ishida, do not worry. I¡¯ll definitely bring those d*mned cats back here.¡±

    Ishida nodded along as the n unfolded in his head. It was a risky move. This might allow the Chinese government apostles to grab hold of some intel on him.

    However, they would only learn about Sato¡¯s abilities if it came down to a face-to-face confrontation. Furthermore, this was just a fraction of Kagemaru¡¯s true power.

    Meanwhile, with Sato distracting them from him, this provided Ishida a much-needed maneuver space toplete his mission.

    ...

    On the other hand, Zhao Yao continued with what he had originally nned. For the rest of the night, Ares and Dust Ball managed to umte 200 and 150 experience points respectively.

    Even though this figure might seem insignificant rtive to the ones Zhao Yao earned using his ¡®X2 Exp Card¡¯, it was still a promising start for the supercats.

    Once back in their belly abode, the two exhausted supercats immediately copsed to the floor as they struggled to keep their eyes open. The missions had taken a toll on them. Zhao Yao reached his arm forward and ran his fingers through their silky fur and said, ¡°Good job, Ares and Dust Ball. Both of you have truly grown. From now on, I allow the both of you to go out on your own toplete missions. However, you can never leave this ce alone. If you face some problems that both of you cannot ovee, remember to call for me ...¡±

    Halfway into his rambling, Zhao Yao suddenly shut his lips together. In front of him, Dust Ball had already fallen asleep as her chest rose and fell with every breath she took.

    Simrly, Ares was asleep with his body scrunched into a ball and his head buried in his chest. Both of them simply looked so adorable.

    A smile appeared on Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he shook his head. He gave a gentle pat on the two cats¡¯ back before carrying them into a corner of the belly.

    Hence, Zhao Yao had a new task toplete over the next few days. Other than his daily missions, monitoring Sphynx Cat¡¯s training, he also had to monitor Ares and Dust Ball¡¯s progress. If this worked, Zhao Yao could essentially earn experience points without taking a single step out of his apartment. However, unbeknownst to them, Sato was also busy trying to find Ares and Dust Ball to exact his revenge.

    However, Zhao Yao did enjoy a significantly more sedentary lifestyle, allowing him to engage in activities such as ...

    ¡°Be careful when crawling up that hill. He is definitely hiding inside that small cabin.¡± Zhao Yao cautioned with his forehead furrowed together.

    Matcha and Rice Cake, which sat beside him, nodded their heads to his words and replied, ¡°But I can¡¯t see him.¡±

    ¡°Do not worry, just camp outside. It¡¯s only a matter of time before hees out.¡± Zhao Yao instructed, ¡°Be careful. Don¡¯t die on me.¡±

    Elizabeth, which sat behind Zhao Yao, stared at herputer screen so intently with her lips slightly parted.

    Currently, Zhao Yao was leading their four-man squad on a PUBG mission. There were only 10 yers left on the map. This was the closest they had ever been to a chicken dinner.

    Suddenly, a giant rifle, the size of the cabin, appeared out of nowhere, with the crosshair aiming straight at Zhao Yao and gang.

    ¡°D*mn it!¡± Zhao Yao threw his fists against his table and roared, ¡°Report him! Report this idiot! How dare he use that hack!¡±

    This was rather ironic. Zhao Yao only managed to climb to this stage of the game with that exact hack. Hence, it was just a taste of his medicine.

    However, it was still rather devastating. With their only shot at a chicken dinner vaporizing into thin air, Zhao Yao instantly lost all motivation to continue the game. He threw hisptop towards Roly Poly and shouted, ¡°Roly Poly, you can y instead.¡±

    Despite the genial smile appearing on Roly Poly¡¯s face, he was actually dissing Zhao Yao in his head, ¡°You only return me myptop when you are sick of losing.¡±

    Meanwhile, both Matcha and Rice Cake had pounced onto Zhao Yao¡¯s calf as they eximed, ¡°What¡¯s that hack just now?¡±

    ¡°I want that hack as well!¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao, can you please help me download that hack?¡±

    Zhao Yao waspletely indifferent to their incessant pestering. He simply shook them off before retreating to his bedroom. However, Matcha was not about to give up. He sprang onto Zhao Yao¡¯s bed and began to roll from one corner to another before eximing, ¡°I want the hack! I want the hack! I want the hack!¡±

    Zhao Yao continued to turn a deaf ear to Matcha¡¯s shouting. He would never allow the cats to use any sorts of hack. If their ounts were banned because of it, the money used to purchase the game would instantly go down the drain!

    ¡°Speaking of which, it¡¯s already the end of the month tomorrow. Time to harvest some experience points again! I might as well take this time to n which cats to upgrade.¡±

    ...

    Within the campus of Jiangmen University, a sedan had slowlye to a halt at the entrance of the college.

    The boss of a peer-to-peer borrowing tform, Matsuo, peered out of his heavily tinted windows only to see arge crowd of students gathered outside. Stacks of pamphlets flew out of their hands as they chanted their slogans to emphasize the danger of such tforms.

    Matsuo¡¯s subordinate looked towards him and remarked, ¡°Boss, I think the students have blown the entire situation out of proportion.¡±

    Matsuo nodded his head calmly. If it was just an ordinary protest organized by regr students, nothing would have happened. However, they were apostles and they had attracted the attention of the government agencies. Now, even the local newswork hade over to report the situation.

    Matsuo had never expected his organization to attract such unwanted attention. However, the media had already dissected the problem from the worst possible angle, making things extremely knotty.

    ¡°Apostles ...¡± Matsuo¡¯s eyes squinted into a hard line as hemented, ¡°Do they actually regard themselves as heroes?¡±

    His eyes began to scan across the group of apostles gathered for the protest. Standing in the middle was none other than Zhao Xue.

    Matsuo was not the only one observing the situation. Hiding in the shadows beneath the eaves of the building was Ishida. He was also greeted by the same sight. However, he had also noticed Matsuo hiding inside his car.

    Originally, Ishida nned to act when Zhao Xue was alone and vulnerable. However, he had never expected the protest to take ce today and Matsuo¡¯s sudden appearance.

    ¡°I guess Zhao Xue had joined a cute little apostle organization.¡± Ishida muttered with a smirk on his face, ¡°However, Matsuo is not going to let things slide on his side. Luckily for me, this saves me the trouble of making the first move. I will just wait for Matsuo before swooping in for the final kill.¡±

    With that satisfying thought in his head, Ishida¡¯s grin had widened into a wide smile. He had already submerged into his shadows and disappeared into thin air.

    That night, a group of college students was gathered in a private function room within a restaurant at the perimeters of the schoolpound. They were in the midst of a heated discussion.

    ¡°We must expose the man behind this evil peer-to-peer lending tform!¡±

    ¡°Haha, my cousin told me that she had already edited the footage from the rally just now. We might even appear on news.¡±

    ¡°Really? When are they going to broadcast it?¡±

    ¡°We are not doing this for the sake of appearing on TV. We are doing this to rid the world of such vile and evil man!¡±

    ¡°Yes! We cannot allow this evil lending tform to continue ravaging the lives of these innocent victims!¡±

    Each word which came out of the student¡¯s mouth were like fuel stoking up their enraged emotions.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Xue was just sitting in the corner, burying her head in all the food. She was indifferent to the discussion as her chopsticks darted across the dining table and a flood of food disappeared into her mouth.

    Since borrowing Sphynx Cat¡¯s power to train, her appetite had increased exponentially. If not for the free meal at the end of the rally, she wouldn¡¯t even have participated.

    Beside Zhao Xue sat a familiar figure ¨C Meng Hao.

    Meng Hao had earned quite a reputation for himself, as the human beast hybrid, during his performance in the cat kingpetition.

    However, his performance was thoroughly outshone by Explosive Man, Yue Shan, Butcher and the Headless Horseman at theter stage of thepetition. This showed him just how weak he was rtive to the other apostles.

    Hence, he gave up his dreams of conquering the world of superpower and decided to establish a supercat and apostle organization in his school instead.

    A wide grin appeared on his face when he noticed Zhao Xue gobbling down all the food and remarked, ¡°Hey, take it easy. There¡¯s still more food waiting for us.¡±

    Zhao Xue slid Meng Hao a condescending re before directing her attention back to that delicious food. Obviously, she knew that he was interested in her.

    Technically, Meng Hao was quite a catch based on normal societal standards. He looked normal, had great results, had a decent background and was simply a decent all-around individual. Furthermore, he was an apostle with tens of cats back at home.

    Winning a girl¡¯s heart was as easy as ABC for a guy of his standards.

    However, it was just his luck to meet Zhao Xue who had zero interest in guys. She just remainedpletely indifferent to Meng Hao¡¯s acts of kindness. She even turned a deaf ear to everything he did and chose to focus her attention on food.

    Meng Hao was no stranger to Zhao Xue¡¯s coolness and indifference. A smile crept up his face as he reminded her, ¡°Zhao Xue, don¡¯t just focus on all the meat. This restaurant is particrly famous for its stir-fry, you should save your stomach for that.¡±

    He reached his arm forward and scooped a spoonful of the famous stir-fry beef with broli for Zhao Xue.

    Zhao Xue lifted her head and immediately intercepted the kind gesture by blocking him with her forearm. Her forehead began to furrow slightly as her tone turned somewhat irritated, ¡°I already told you that I prefer meat.¡±

    Despite her nonchnt and unpleasant attitude, Meng Hao still nodded with that same smile on his face. He scooped the food into his own bowl and remarked, ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ll have it instead.¡±

    Zhao Xue could only roll her eyes at his unwavering determination. She couldn¡¯t help but feel a wave of helplessness sweeping over her when faced with such people.

    She wanted to tell him so badly, ¡°Bro, you are focusing your attention on the wrong person. I am interested in women, not men.¡±

    However, she dismissed the thought after some consideration. She did not want her unique sexual orientation to be a new gossip material for all these college students. It would be disastrous if it actually spread beyond the school and into the ears of her parents and Zhao Yao.

    Hence, she could only maintain her aloofness when faced against Meng Hao¡¯s incessant courting.

    Meanwhile, the remaining half of the table suddenly had their eyes all fixed on Meng Hao.

    Even though Meng Hao¡¯s performance in thepetition was average at best, he was still an outstanding individual amongst these students because of his background and results. Furthermore, he was the pioneer of this organization, granting him significant authority and power over the members.

    A few guys looked towards him and eximed, ¡°Meng Hao, I owe you my entire life for establishing this organization and bringing all of us together. If not for you, I would still be stuck in my house thinking that I¡¯ve gone crazy!¡±

    ¡°That peer-to-peer lending tform is truly evil. I heard that some girls ended up in hospitals after taking up numerous part-time jobs to pay their debts. Some of them even resorted to selling their house.¡±

    ¡°These loan sharks are truly despicable. Meng Hao, as the leader of our group, do you have anything to say about them?¡±

    ¡°Meng Hao, say something!¡±

    An amiable smile appeared on Meng Hao¡¯s handsome face. He slowly got to his feet before making his inspiring speech. Every word he uttered was music to the audience¡¯s ears. For those 10 minutes, they truly believed that they were the physical embodiment of the word justice.

    His eyes swept across the audience at the end of his speech. The sea of wide-eyed college students was evidence that he had earned their full-fledged respect and admiration. Joy bubbled up in him as he whispered to himself, ¡°College students plus apostle ... this is the easiest group of individuals to take advantage of.¡±

    While Meng Hao was still reveling in his wless speech, the noise of a dragging chair erupted in his ears and broke his train of thought. It was none other than Zhao Xue. She had already stood up and was ready to leave the restaurant.

    ¡°I¡¯ve finished eating and I have something to attend to. Enjoy your dinner.¡±

    The rest of the students stared with disgust as they watched Zhao Xue disappearing behind that huge wooden door. Half a minuteter, a guy jumped to his feet and retorted, ¡°That Zhao Xue ... how can she behave like this?¡±

    ¡°I agree. She wasn¡¯t even serious during our rally just now. I didn¡¯t even see her distribute a single pamphlet throughout those five hours.¡±

    ¡°What can we do about that? She can do anything she wants with that pretty face of hers. All we can do is to tolerate her foul temper.¡±

    ¡°Alright, alright, don¡¯t get angry over such useless stuff.¡± Meng Hao even attempted to put in some good words for her, ¡°Zhao Xue is just a little shy and introverted. I will talk to her about it. We are all students of the same college. It is destiny that brought us together. We should cherish this bond that we share and give each other a chance to better understand one another.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sure you guys will know that I¡¯m nothing but a lucky person. I just happened to be born into a well-to-do family and have some spare cash.¡±

    Somehow, these arrogant words received a round of apuse amongst those gullible college students.

    ¡°Hence, if you guys need anything in school, just feel free to find me. I will do whatever I can to help you solve your problem.¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Xue was not the least bit worried about what others might say behind her back. She was only worried about a single thing ¨C to make it in time for training.

    ...

    It sounded as if there was a tornado in the forest as Zhao Xue¡¯s slender frame traversed across the dense forest in the blink of an eye.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes were glued to Zhao Xue¡¯s every single movement. With his acute eyesight, he even noticed the minor distortion in the space surrounding Zhao Xue¡¯s body. This was only possible when traveling at such zing speed.

    ¡°This improvement is truly remarkable,¡± Zhao Yao remarked, ¡°If she continues improving at this rate, she¡¯ll be able to catch up to Butcher in two months¡¯ time. I guess upgrading Sphynx Cat has truly taken effect. The power of training has improved significantly.¡±

    One hourter, Zhao Xue copsed to the seat next to Zhao Yao as her chest rose and fell with rapid breaths. Suddenly, she took a deep breath and asked, ¡°King George, what do you think will happen to this world with the advent of superpower? Do you think that it will be very different?¡±

    ¡°Hmph?¡± Zhao Yao was caught off guard by this question as he muttered, ¡°Why did Zhao Xue suddenly ask me such a philosophical question? Did she fail her exams? Or did she fail her re-exams? Or did she run out of money for her tuition fees?¡±

    However, Zhao Xue didn¡¯t even bother to wait for King George¡¯s response as she continued, ¡°I mean just look at our world. Inte clips of supercats, apostles, and supernatural happenings have proliferated indefinitely throughout the.

    Isn¡¯t this just like how the industrial revolution began with the invention of the steam engine? What will happen to our world with the birth of superpowers? Will our society change because of it?¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his heads to her words but deep down he was thinking, ¡°Did she just break up?¡±

    ¡°What will happen to the ordinary humans from now on? Are they in danger?¡± Zhao Xue suddenly swept her head towards King George and asked, ¡°Should I alert my parents and brother to this entire world of superpower?¡±

    ¡°Tell my ass! I spent so much time just to protect them from this! It¡¯s a disaster if you actually told them the truth! At the end of the day, I¡¯ll be the one taking care of all the mess you created!¡± Zhao Yao was screaming in his head. However, he managed to keep his cool and continued lending her a listening ear.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Xue shook her head and muttered, ¡°No, I can¡¯t do that to them. They are just ordinary people. Nothing good wille out of it if I told them the truth. They will simply worry about nothing. The only solution is for me to get stronger. Only then will I be able to protect them.¡±

    Some reassuring words finally came out of Zhao Xue¡¯s mouth as he whispered to himself, ¡°That¡¯s the correct mentality. Continue to train harder to protect your loved ones.¡±

    ¡°King George, where do you think I¡¯ll stand amongst all apostles with my current abilities? Am I among the top 10% or 20%?¡± In her eyes, King George was an omnipotent and omniscient figure.

    Naturally, Zhao Yao hoped that she would continue keeping a low profile and persevere in her relentless training. Hopefully, she won¡¯t attract any unwanted attention to herself.

    Hence, he blurted out, ¡°You are amongst the bottom 30% of apostles. You still have a long way to go.¡±

    A frown crept up Zhao Xue¡¯s face as she muttered, ¡®Why am I still so weak? From today onwards, I will increase my training time by another two hours!¡±

    Before King George could even open his mouth, she had already disappeared into the thick forests and carried on with her training.

    Zhao Yao could only let out a sigh of helplessness, ¡°I guess I have to wait for another two hours ... I just wanna go back for my chicken dinner.¡±

    Roly Poly which had grown restless from all the waiting tapped Zhao Yao on his shoulder and whispered into his ears, ¡°Zhao Yao, how about I return to ...¡±

    ¡°No!¡± Zhao Yao threw Roly Poly against the ground and left him a death threat, ¡°You can bid farewell to all the delicious food if you return to the belly now.¡±

    On that same night, Meng Hao and the others proceeded to a karaoke session after the satisfying dinner.

    Tunes of thetest Billboard hits flooded the room when Meng Hao suddenly pushed open the door and staggered towards the toilet. At that point, his entire body reeked of the smell of alcohol and smoke.

    Suddenly, two muscr men stopped right in front of him, obstructing his path.

    A tinge of anger shed across Meng Hao¡¯s slightly flushed face as he retorted, ¡°What do you want?¡±

    One of the blokes slid him a death re before replying, ¡°We are representatives from XXX peer-to-peer lending tform,¡± With that, he shed a card in Meng Hao¡¯s face, ¡°There is RMB 500,000 inside. Our boss doesn¡¯t want a repeat of today¡¯s rally from now onwards.¡±

    ¡°Hmph?¡± Meng Hao¡¯s right eyebrow shot up when those words rang in his head. The effects of alcohol had left him significantly more edgy than usual as Meng Hao answered, ¡°Are you trying to buy me off with your stupid cash? You can at least show your sincerity by offering more than that measly sum.¡±

    Bam!

    Meng Hao threw his arm forward and pped the credit card out of that muscr man¡¯s hand. Meng Han then continued, ¡°Get lost. Go back and tell your boss to get ready to close his stupid shop.¡±

    A muscle in his jaw twitched when the bloke heard those insolent wordsing out of this disrespectful guy. He immediately lifted Meng Hao off the ground by grabbing on to his cor as he threatened, ¡°Young kid, if you continue acting this way ...¡±

    Suddenly, another college boy appeared out of nowhere, with his index finger pointing straight at the muscr man, as he roared, ¡°What are you doing? Put Meng Hao down right now!¡±

    ¡°Someone is trying to beat Meng Hao!¡±

    ¡°Who dares toy a finger on him?¡±

    ¡°They imed that they are representatives of the peer-to-peer lending tform!¡±

    ¡°Fight back!¡±

    ¡°Let them have a taste of their own medicine.¡±

    The result of the battle was long determined even before the first punch was thrown. On one side were tens of student apostles. On the other were two ordinary blokes. Soon enough, the students had already subdued them. With one foot pushing down against their face, the students took turns mocking and ridiculing them before leaving amidst a chorus ofughter.

    ¡°We will beat you up whenever we see you lurking around this area.¡±

    ¡°How stupid can they get? They should take a look at the mirror before trying to fight against us!¡±

    ¡°Haha, I bet they had no idea who we are.¡±

    One of the muscr blokes watched as the gang of cocky students disappeared from his sight. His lips drew back into a snarl as his entire body began to tremble with fury. He struggled to reach for his phone before contacting his boss.

    ¡°Hello? Boss, I¡¯m sorry. We failed.¡±

    ¡°They didn¡¯t want our money and even beaten us to a pulp.¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes, I understand.¡±

    ...

    Matsuo carefully ced his phone against the ornate marble table with his usual expressionless face.

    The fate of the lending tform was intricately linked to all of his future ns. He would never allow anyone from disturbing it, let alone bring it down.

    Suddenly, a man¡¯s voice rang in his head.

    ¡°Mr. Matsuo, can you help mee up with a solution?¡±

    Matsuo suddenly recalled that he was still in the midst of entertaining a guest. He then lifted his chin and sported his most radiant smile before answering, ¡°Mr. Xiao, this isn¡¯t an issue ofing up with a solution. Your requirements for the loan are simply not aligned with ourpany¡¯s rules and regtions.¡±

    The person standing opposite Matsuo looked as if he had not showered for the past month. You could barely see his face which was concealed by his messy hair. His tattered clothes were adorned with holes all over it. This man was none other than Xiao Ming.

    Xiao Ming copsed to the ground before plunging his face into his hands and sobbed, ¡°Mr. Matsuo, I really need your help right now. You know that I have the money to return you. It¡¯s just that all my assets are frozen inside the bank. I will immediately return you the money once I get hold of them.

    Furthermore, the project which I have my eyes on this time around is 100% legitimate ¨C electric car! We are on the cusp of the next transportation revolution! Standing right on the fringe is none other than electric cars!¡±

    A frown crept up Matsuo¡¯s face as he muttered, ¡°From what I know, there haven¡¯t been any revolutionary, technological breakthroughs in the fields of electric and self-driving cars.¡±

    Xiao Ming ran towards Matsuo before rifying, ¡°Throughout history, revolutionary projects such as this have never been well-received among the ordinary people! Mr. Matsuo,e and listen to my PowerPoint presentation! With you by my side, we can usher in the next technological revolution into China!¡±

    ¡°I guess I¡¯ll pass. Mr. Xiao, why not you join us and be part of our marketing team. With your connections, you can open the doors to the filthy rich of Jiangmen City. It will be a piece of cake.¡±

    Those words left Xiao Ming in a daze as he struggled to reply.

    ¡°Do not worry, you will definitely be satisfied with themission that I promise all my employees.¡±

    Matsuo finally managed to get rid of Xiao Ming who was still stuck in his perplexing thoughts. With Xiao Ming gone, Matsuo instantly focused all his attention back on the incident with the college students.

    ¡°No one can stop me. Do they really think that they are invincible just because they are apostles?¡±

    ...

    On that same night, Ares and Dust Ball were prancing down the busy street of Jiangmen City with their eyes jumping from one human head to another.

    ¡°What bad luck,¡± Aresmented with a sigh of despair, ¡°We have yet toplete a single mission for the entire day.¡±

    Dust Ball¡¯s face reddened with anger as she retorted, ¡°I already told you to go to Japanese street, but you insisted oning here! Look at us now! We will go back home with zero missionspleted! Are you happy now?¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ve beening here for the past few days so I thought it¡¯s better toe to a familiar ce.¡± Dust Ball¡¯s sharp words immediately plunged Ares into despair. He then muttered, ¡°Let¡¯s walk down this street onest time. We will change location if there¡¯s really no one.¡±

    While they were walking down the street, they suddenly heard a familiar voice ring in their ears.

    ¡°I¡¯ve finally found the two of you!¡±

    Ares and Dust Ball immediately swept their heads towards the voice as beams of excitement shot out of their eyes.

    ¡°I recognize you! You were that Japanese who gave us so many mission previously!¡± Ares swept his head towards Dust Ball and roared, ¡°Dust Ball, let¡¯s go!¡±

    A sly grin crept up Sato¡¯s face when he watched those two clueless cats charging towards him. He then turned his body around before sprinting down a nearby alley.

    Ares and Dust Ball did not hesitate to continue their pursuit down this secluded alley. Soon, they found Sato hiding in a deserted corner.

    Suddenly, they heard footstep approaching them from behind. They turned their heads around only to see Onitsuka towering over them, blocking their only way out of this secluded alley.

    Sato¡¯s smile stretched from ear to ear as he announced, ¡°Today is your unlucky day, I¡¯ll let the both of you understand ...¡±

    Bam!

    Ares¡¯s deflective field had already swept across the alley, tossing Sato across before his body collided against the bricked-wall.

    His vision was clouded in darkness when that same irritating electronic voice rang in his ears.

    ¡°Hey, do you need my help?¡¯

    Rage overtook Sato as he shouted, ¡°Get lost!¡±

    He threw his arm forward as tens of shadows appeared out of nowhere and sprang right in front of Ares. He then continued extending his arm towards Ares¡¯s head.

    ¡°Mission sess.¡±

    When that thought shed across Sato¡¯s head, he felt the weight of an enormous mountain crashing into his palm. He was literally centimeters away from Ares but yet failed to reach him.

    Actually, he was intercepted by Ares¡¯s invisible deflective field, which currently encapsted both Dust Ball and him within it.

    Meanwhile, Onitsuka swept his arm in the air, preparing for their next attack. Suddenly, strands of ck shadow emerged from the shadows surrounding them as they charged towards Ares and Dust Ball.

    This was Onitsuka¡¯s power ¨C shadow stitching technique. He was able to shoot out projectiles that were tougher than titanium from his shadow.

    However, the same fate awaited his projectiles. They simply stopped in mid-air, centimeters away from the cats¡¯ bodies.

    Suddenly, both their visions went dark as they felt an enormous force striking them at the back of their head as they copsed to the ground.

    That same irritating voice rang in their heads as they struggled to get onto their feet.

    ¡°Nice to meet you, do you need my help?¡¯

    For some unknown reason, tears began to roll down Sato¡¯s cheeks.

    Dust Ball was stunned by Sato¡¯s reaction as she roared at Ares angrily, ¡°Look at what you¡¯ve done. They¡¯ve turned into idiots because of you! How can weplete our missions when they¡¯ve turned into idiots?¡±

    Ares began to tap lightly against their heads in hopes of fixing the problem. However, the golden exmation marks remained elusive as he mumbled, ¡°Why can¡¯t it work this time around? Maybe ...¡±

    ¡°I should p them a few more times?¡¯

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    An invisible Light Door spiraled out of nowhere. Dust Ball pranced out of it with a smug smile proudly stered on her face.

    Lightning, which stood next to aputer with a magnifying ss dangling by his lips, noticed and announced, ¡°Dust Ball, you¡¯re early today!¡±

    Dust Ball nodded her head haughtily before answering, ¡°Business was rather good this evening, that¡¯s why I was able toe home slightly earlier.¡±

    Before Lightning could even answer Dust Ball, Matcha had already sent a p across his back and screamed, ¡°Can you stop moving around? You are affecting my performance, do you understand?¡±

    Meanwhile, a chorus of cheers and screams exploded from the other end of the living room.

    ¡°Chicken dinner! Chicken dinner!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve finally had my first chicken dinner!¡±

    ¡°Roly Poly had 29 kills! Roly Poly is so strong!¡±

    ¡°29 kills plus a chicken dinner! Roly Poly, you are truly invincible!¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s mouth pursed into a self-satisfied smirk when he noticed the attention and admiration his fan girls had showered him with. On the surface, he tried to look as calm as possible. However, he was actually bursting with excitement as he muttered, ¡°Even though this hack was rather expensive, it was definitely worth it. Automatic aimbot! One shot one kill! Meowhahaha!¡±

    Roly Poly noticed the crestfallen Matcha sulking in a corner and decided to rub some salt into his wound, ¡°Matcha, I thought you did quite well! Can you remind me how many opponents you killed?¡±

    Matcha remainedpletely indifferent to Roly Poly¡¯s questions. Instead, Rice Cake answered on his behalf, ¡°He had zero kills! For a moment I thought he was in the opponent¡¯s team! Matcha, your only responsibility from now on is to be our in-game driver.¡±

    Matcha was brimming with jealousy as he slid Roly Poly a condescending re. He gritted his teeth and knew that things were not as simple as it seemed, ¡°This stupid fatso! Last time, he couldn¡¯t even kill the opponent when he was standing right in front of him! Escape was the only word in his dictionary! How did he suddenly be so strong? There is something that he is hiding from me!¡±

    Meanwhile, Dust Ball pranced across the living room before disappearing into Zhao Yao¡¯s bedroom. In one swift motion, she had drilled underneath Zhao Yao¡¯s bed. This was her treasure chest ¨C where bags of the freshest catmint were hidden. She nned to reward herself with some catmint for her exceptional performance today.

    Zhao Yao was surprised to see Dust Ball home at this hour and asked curiously, ¡°You are rather early today.¡±

    ¡°We met that same Japanese dude today.¡± Dust Ball had already copsed to the ground as the catmint started taking effect, ¡°He even brought a friend along. It was a free for all experience galore!¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at their experience points and realized that they had earned more than 200 points today. Even Zhao Yao wasn¡¯t this efficient on normal days.

    Seeing his cats¡¯ wonderful performance buoyed his spirits considerably. Zhao Yao thenid on his bed as he waited for the clock to strike 12. It was the time of the month again.

    ¡°This was quite a fruitful month. First, I managed to harvest quite a significant sum of experience points from Chuan Xiao District. Red Packet¡¯s arrival had also improved our business considerably.¡± A wide grin reflected off of Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he rubbed his hand together in anticipation, ¡°With Ares and Dust Ball hard at work, I¡¯ll be able to upgrade the cats in no time.¡±

    With the arrival of a new month, the experience points earned from the monthly mission had automatically tabted into Zhao Yao¡¯s BOOK.

    The usual words appeared beneath thepleted status of the monthly mission: The profit for the month, after deducting the money spent of utility bills, cat food, tidbits, etc, was RMB 923,493. This totaled to 1800 experience points.

    Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t help but take in a deep breath when he saw the tabtion for the month. Somehow, he had turned into someone whose monthly ie exceeded the 1,000,000 mark. Even though the majority came from Old Man Zhuang and his gang, it was still a considerable amount for someone of his age.

    ¡°I can¡¯t believe that I would one day be part of this millionaire club.¡± Zhao Yao bubbled with joy when he imagined how he could double or triple his worth by investing all these money wisely.

    Hence, he instantly bought the ¡®X2 Exp Card¡¯ before tapping on the redeem button to collect his 1800*2 experience points.

    Immediately, the BOOK reflected the changes:

    BOOK: lv6 (7722/20000)

    Matcha: lv7 (1800/20000)

    Elizabeth: lv6 (2300/10000)

    Dust Ball: lv8 (955/50000)

    Ares: lv5 (3020/5000)

    Lucifer: lv5 (2800/5000)

    Sphynx Cat: lv4 (1800/2000)

    ¡°I didn¡¯t realize that I had already recruited so many supercats into my team.¡± Zhao Yao was immersed in his thoughts as he started nning on how to efficiently allocate these experience points.

    The first ones to be eliminated were Elizabeth, Matcha and Dust Ball on ounts of their exceptionally high levels. The experience points needed for their upgrade was simply too much. They couldn¡¯t be upgraded to the next level even if Zhao Yao splurged all 7000 odd experience points on them.

    This meant that he was left with Ares, Lucifer and Sphynx Cat. Because of their rtively low levels, Zhao Yao could afford to upgrade all three simultaneously.

    With zero hesitation, Zhao Yao allocated the required experience points to these three cats, upgrading them simultaneously.

    First up, he tapped on Ares¡¯s ability branches.

    ¡°Hmph, from what I remember, Matcha, Elizabeth and Dust Ball received a growth skill level 6. It is a kind of power whose strength would increase proportionally to the cat¡¯s level.¡±

    As expected, a growth skill appeared for Ares.

    Field Expansion: Increase the reach of the deflective field by the factor of five*Ares¡¯s level.

    Field Enhancement: Increase the strength of the deflective field by 50%

    Obviously, Zhao Yao chose the first option. Currently, the sphere of the deflective field was restricted to its five meters radius. The ¡®Power Up Card¡¯ would stretch the radius to 100 meters, encapsting a farrger volume.

    However, with the newly acquired Field Expansion, the radius of the deflective field would instantaneously jump to 6*5 meters.

    With a radius of 30 meters, the amount of ground covered was already quite significant. Zhao Yao dared not imagine just howrge an area it could possibly cover with the ¡®Power Up Card¡¯ boost.

    Furthermore, the effects of this power were not stagnant. Every upgrade in level would stretch the deflective field by another 5 meters. This was key to Ares¡¯s increase in strength.

    After settling Ares, Zhao Yao fixed his attention on Lucifer¡¯s ability branches. Now that he was at lvl 6, Zhao Yao expected a growth skill for him as well.

    The Tide of Rebirth: Increase the speed of regeneration by a factor of 0.4*Lucifer¡¯s level

    Basic Elementary Resistance: After undergoing countless regeneration, the body had grown immune to certain basic elements

    This was not an easy decision. Zhao Yao hesitated as his eyes darted from one power to another. From its description, the Basic Elementary Resistance seemed like an ideal choice. However, he had no idea what these basic elementsprised of, but Zhao Yao spected that they were most probably referring to extremely high or low temperature, electric or corrosion attacks.

    However, a growth skill would continuously grow stronger as Lucifer continued leveling up. Hence, Zhao Yao stuck with the first option.

    Thus, Lucifer¡¯s regeneration powers received a boost once again, increasing to a rate that was 04*6 of its current speed.

    Finally, it was Sphynx Cat¡¯s turn. Seeing that he had only turned to lv5, such growth skills were definitely not avable for him.

    Zhao Yao tapped on Sphynx Cat¡¯s profile and was greeted with two novel ability branches. They were:

    Wraths of Pain: Hell-like tortures had rendered you immune to pains that would kill ordinary humans. Instead of hurting you, ordinary pains would strengthen you

    Spirit of Insight: Rigorous training has endowed you with an observational acuity that was paralleled by none. You could even detect any hint of hostility amongst your opponent.

    ¡°Wraths of Painbined with ultra-regeneration would turn me into a berserker. Maybe they¡¯ll even work well together. However, Lucifer¡¯s current ability has already made me immune to ordinary pains. Instead, I even crave for them.¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin thoughtfully as he carefully considered his options, ¡°Furthermore, I do not fancy the chaotic fighting style of a berserker. It¡¯s also rather dangerous for Zhao Xue and Baiquan to use such powers in their battles. I guess Spirit of Insight is a better choice then.¡±

    It was a dawn of a new era for Zhao Yao. Life was so simple, so rxing. Every day, he would stare at hisputer screen while monitoring Sphynx Cat¡¯s progress from time to time. Meanwhile, Dust Ball and Ares would slug their guts out to earn more experience points.

    Coupling his relentless training with the ideal living conditions provided by Zhao Yao, Sphynx Cat had acquired strength which would put Butcher¡¯s power to shame. Currently, even six times the ordinary gravitational field strength could not slow him down.

    On the other hand, Ares and Dust Ball would leave the house at the crack of dawn before returningte at night, in pursuit of more experience points. However, they couldn¡¯t find a target as easy as Sato, despite their best efforts. A few days ago, they even made a ruckus along Japanese street when they tried their luck there.

    On this particr day, Zhao Yao reported to the caf¨¦ in the morning as usual. He had some time to spare before the caf¨¦ officially opened for the day and decided to sit down with Shi Yu for a talk.

    Shi Yu noticed Zhao Yao sitting next to her and surprised him with an unexpected question, ¡°Zhao Yao, now that you have gotten so rich, have you ever thought of getting a girlfriend?¡±

    ¡°Hmph, how can I possibly find a girlfriend?¡± Zhao Yao retorted as his lips curled into a frown, ¡°I have so many cats to attend to! I¡¯ll never have enough time to spend on a rtionship.¡±

    Shi Yu rolled her eyes and muttered, ¡°... isn¡¯t Baiquan the one responsible for all the cats?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s what you see inside the caf¨¦. Once we return home, I¡¯m responsible to entertain all of them, cook for them and even train them!¡± Suddenly, Zhao Yao slid Shi Yu a weird gaze before asking her an equally random question, ¡°Actually, why don¡¯t you adopt a cat yourself?¡±

    Zhao Yao had always found it rather puzzling. Theoretically, Shi Yu embodied all the qualities required of an apostle. Even if Inspector Ho didn¡¯t provide a supercat for her, she was more than capable of finding a supercat partner on her own.

    ¡°I find it so troublesome. Also, I don¡¯t really like having cats in my house. I¡¯m happy with feeding the stray cats in my neighborhood.¡± Shi Yu¡¯s forehead furrowed slightly as she continued, ¡°Furthermore, cats have such short lifespans. I don¡¯t think I¡¯ll be able to take it when they leave me.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head furiously when Shi Yu¡¯s voice rang in his head, ¡°That is the wrong mentality. Do you know how much joy a cat brings to a household? Furthermore, if you choose to adopt a supercat, you can even use it to earn some extra cash.¡±

    Shi Yu waspletely unmoved by Zhao Yao¡¯s words, but he wasn¡¯t about to give up just yet, ¡°When I was your age, I¡¯ve already trained Matcha to eat and go to bed on his own. Just look at the situation in our country. It¡¯s only a matter of time before you adopt a supercat yourself.¡±

    Zhao Yao let out a sigh of despair before continuing, ¡°Since it¡¯s only a matter of time, why not start when you are still young and full of energy? If not, you will be too old, too busy, too tired to take care of your cats. You might even have to depend on your parents for help.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s incessant pestering had exasperated Shi Yu considerably. Her lips drew back into a snarl as she sneered, ¡°How about I just leave my cat here with you. That way, you can help me take care of it as well!¡±

    ¡°Nah.¡± Zhao Yao threw his arm in the air before giving a dismissive wave of his hand, ¡°I¡¯ve already told you that cats are affectionate creatures. Hence, you must devote all your time to them from the day they were born. If not, they¡¯ll never be close to you. Just look at me and Matcha. We are the perfect examples of ideal cat and owner rtionship.¡±

    With that, Zhao Yao eximed, ¡°Matcha!¡±

    Matcha, which was resting in the corner, simply responded with an impatient swung of his tail. Obviously, he had no intention toe over.

    Cats were totally different from dogs. Out of 10 times, they would at most respond to your call once. The sess rate would drop further when they were full or tired.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s temple throbbed with rage when he witnessed this tant disobedience to instruction. A red glimmer shed across his eyes following the activation of his power. With Matcha under his control, he sprinted over to Zhao Yao before rubbing his body affectionately against Zhao Yao¡¯s hairy calf.

    ¡°Just look, look at how close he is to me. Every night, he wouldn¡¯t even sleep until I tuck him into his bed. If you allow someone else to raise the cat on your behalf, your cat wouldn¡¯t even recognize you as his owner.¡±

    Actually, she wasn¡¯t even listening to what Zhao Yao had to say and simply responded with a nonchnt reply, ¡°I don¡¯t care. I¡¯m just happy to y with them.¡±

    Somehow, her nonchnce caused mes of anger to shoot through Zhao Yao as he continued rambling, ¡°Do you have a favorite cat species?¡± He intended to convince her with some concrete examples.

    ¡°Someone else¡¯s cat.¡±

    Realising that his efforts were futile, Zhao Yao let out a long sigh before mumbling, ¡°This generation of teens are sozy that they don¡¯t even bother to take care of a cute little cat. You will know the true meaning of despair when you spend your remaining years as a lonely old woman.¡±

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao¡¯s ring ringtone put a stop to their meaningless discussion. He nced at his screen and saw two giant words printed on it ¨C Xiao Yu. Instantly, he chose to reject the call.

    A few secondster, his phone began to vibrate again with the same ring ringtone erupting in his ears. Once again, he chose to hang up.

    A few minutester, his phone rang again. However, it was no longer from Xiao Yu. It was his mom!

    ¡°Hey, Zhao Yao, I heard from Xiao Yu that you¡¯ve been purposely avoiding her calls. Is it true?¡±

    Zhao Yao literally choked on anger to hear that she would actually resort to such unscrupulous means to get to him. With his voice trembling with anger, he replied, ¡°No, why would I even do that? I was driving just now. That¡¯s why I couldn¡¯t answer her calls.¡±

    ¡°Oh, that makes sense. It always pays to be careful while you¡¯re on the road. I don¡¯t want you to ever touch your phone when you are driving, understood? Just remember to give Xiao Yu a call when you¡¯re done driving ...¡±

    His hands tightened into fists as he ended that call, ¡°That piece of shit. The only thing she knows is to tell on me.¡±

    Soon enough, his phone began vibrating again as it sung to the tune of that dreadful ringtone. He let out a deep breath before answering the call helplessly, ¡°Hello?¡±

    ¡°This is important. I need you to be at XXXX road by 6 pm today. It is the road next to the middle school.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Before Zhao Yao could even rify the situation, Xiao Yu had already ended the call on her side. Zhao Yao stared at his phone in disbelief before uttering, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with her? Why is she acting all flustered?¡±

    Even though Zhao Yao had no clue what was going on, he remained true to his words and appeared at the designated location by 6 pm sharp. Anyway, he had already decided toe out toplete his patrol missions, so it was rather convenient.

    Before he even reached the school gate, he could already make out Xiao Yu standing by the door and waving her hands frantically at him.

    Zhao Yao immediately hurried over and asked, ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°I have no time to exin. Just follow me. I¡¯ll tell you more on the way there.¡± Before she even exined the situation, Xiao Yu had already grabbed onto Zhao Yao¡¯s wrist as she dragged him into the schoolpound.

    Zhao Yao did not like the air of uncertainty at all and continued pelting the same question at her, ¡°Tell me, what is going on here?¡±

    Finally, Xiao Yu relented, ¡°My teacher saw what I wrote in my journal. I didn¡¯t even know that teachers actually gave a shit about what we wrote. Now, she wants my parents here in school. However, because I¡¯m new to the school, no one knows who my parents are. Hence, you¡¯ll be my dad for the day.¡±

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao wrenched her hand from his wrist and shook his head, ¡°How can I disguise as your father with my looks? One look and they¡¯ll know that we are not blood rted.¡±

    Xiao Yu turned her head around before sliding him a condescending re. However, she did not speak a single word. Instead, a sheepish smile crept up her face.

    ¡°Why are you smiling? What¡¯s so funny? Tell me!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Suddenly, Xiao Yu began to tug at his arms as she exined, ¡°Actually it makes sense. I skipped a few grades and you became a dad at an early age. Furthermore, you take such good care of your body which exins your youthful looks. Everything makes sense! At most, I can just say that you¡¯re my step-dad.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not even married. What are you even talking about?¡± However, Zhao Yao was more interested in what mistake shemitted, ¡°Tell me, what exactly did you write in your journal? Why does your teacher even want to meet your parents?¡±

    Xiao Yu let out a sigh of despair before exining, ¡°It was just a weekly journal. I didn¡¯t know that she didn¡¯t understand the meaning of hyperbole. I don¡¯t understand why she¡¯s getting so worked up over this tiny matter.¡±

    ...

    ¡°... my parents brought me to the most famous noodle house in Jiangmen City. They were known for their extraordinarilyrge bowls. It was even bigger than my face! I immediately gobbled down the entire bowl of soup the moment it was served. However, I suddenly realize that my phone was missing! I had no idea what to do.¡±

    I immediately approached the waiter and told him the situation. He then responded with a wide grin as he stretched his hand beneath my 36D boobs and retrieved my phone.¡¯

    Bam!

    Zhao Yao immediately pped the journal into Xiao Yu¡¯s face as he roared, ¡°Preposterous! How dare you lie at such a young age! You do not have 36D boobs! This kid is getting out of hands. Teacher, I¡¯m giving you all the rights to punish her with whatever method you deem fit.¡±

    Xiao Yu death-red Zhao Yao as her body locked up with rage.

    The teacher immediately squatted down to pick up the journal. She then knelt next to Xiao Yu before patting gently against her bruised face, ¡°Xiao Yu, are you okay?¡± The teacher then swept her eyes towards Zhao Yao and reasoned, ¡°Do not get so worked up. You cannot teach a kid with punches and kicks. Furthermore, the crux of the problem isn¡¯t her penchant for lying. Kids are ignorant. Everything they do or say is heavily influenced by their parents¡¯ behavior.¡±

    She continued, ¡°I need you to be more conscientious of your behavior when your kid is around. I have never seen a 12-year-old write something like this. I dare not imagine what she hears or sees at home.¡±

    The two of them finally left the ssroom afterpleting their world-ss act. To demonstrate her remorse and sincerity, Xiao Yu even bowed in apology for an entire minute before leaving, ¡°Teacher, I¡¯m so sorry for causing you so much trouble,¡± Xiao Yu apologized as she carefully shut the doors.

    Zhao Yao was trying his best to suppress hisughter as he chuckled, ¡°36? D? I didn¡¯t know that you had such aspirations.¡±

    Xiao Yu swept her head around and pinned him down with her death re, ¡°Why do I get the feeling that you are gloating over my demise?¡±

    Somehow, Zhao Yao didn¡¯t realize the change in mood and continued poking fun at her, ¡°I never expected girls your age to be so vain! I mean you even resorted to lying about your boob size when you¡¯re in middle school. I dare not imagine what will happen in high school. Everything that we say should be rooted in truth. You are simply too vain for your own good. Who taught you all these?¡±

    ¡°I do whatever I deem fit.¡±

    Zhao Yao was stunned by her snarky response. However, that did not stop him from taking advantage of the situation, ¡°Xiao Yu, I¡¯m reminding you that your reign of terror has ended. From today onwards, you are not to call me by my nickname. From now on, I¡¯m your elder brother. If not, I¡¯ll simply tell your parents about today.¡±

    Xiao Yu slid Zhao Yao a cold, condescending re as she muttered, ¡°Yao Er, you are already a grown man. I don¡¯t expect a grown man to resort to threatening a girl like me. Don¡¯t you find your actions childish?¡±

    ¡°Haha, I am childish. What are you gonna do about that?¡± Zhao Yao bellowed in a wave ofughter as he continued, ¡°Don¡¯t you remember how I used to snatch the lollipop from you when we¡¯re younger? Actually, I didn¡¯t even like lollipops. I just wanted to show you what it means to be powerful, to be in control. I hope you got to learn a thing or two from today.¡±

    Xiao Yu nodded her head and continued answering in a snarky fashion, ¡°I remember. I was still in kindergarten then. My parents almost turned you into a cripple because of it.¡±

    While making their way out of the campus, Zhao Yao was greeted by an unusual sight. Scores of girls turned extremely flustered the moment they say Xiao Yu and immediately bowed in her direction, ¡°Good evening, Ms. Xiao Yu.¡±

    ¡°Good evening, Ms. Xiao Yu.¡±

    ¡°Have a good day, Ms. Xiao Yu.¡±

    Even the 1.7 meters girls who towered over her had to greet her in the most respectful manner. Zhao Yao¡¯s lips curled in disgust as he muttered, ¡°What exactly have you been doing in school?¡±

    Xiao Yu just replied matter of factly, ¡°Before I came, some of the delinquents were extorting money out of these poor students. Hence, I decided to teach them a lesson. Actually, they weren¡¯t the only ones who I¡¯ve beaten up.¡±

    ¡°Using your superpower?¡±

    ¡°Erm, you don¡¯t say?¡±

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that the school will learn about your abilities?¡± Zhao Yao facepalmed himself when he learned of her tant abuse of superpower, ¡°Stop using your power for suchme reasons!¡±

    Xiao Yu responded with a mirthlessugh, ¡°Says the one who used it to open a cat caf¨¦. How dare you even use me?¡± Nekomata had secretly fed much information about Zhao Yao to Xiao Yu.

    Zhao Yao could only shake his head in despair. He decided to drop the topic and moved on to something he was truly concerned about, ¡°Oh yes, can you tell me more about your power?¡± He continued by asking another seemingly random question, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me your power is to turn into a ghost?¡±

    Zhao Yao had seen for himself how she turned into a female ghost during the cat kingpetition. He had long suspected that Nekomata had something to do with her power.

    ¡°Hmph, you are quite an astute observer. That¡¯s right. I have the power to turn into ghost, spirit, whatever you want to call it. I have the power of psychokinesis, illusion and things like that.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s gaze gave a light shudder when he heard those words which confirmed his hypothesis. A solemn expression crept up his face as he asked, ¡°Where did your powere from? I vaguely remember you telling me that it came from the husky.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s first guess was that Nekomata had somehow managed to possess the husky¡¯s body.

    However, Xiao Yu¡¯s response shocked him. She shook her head and replied, ¡°Nope. It¡¯s from a spirit cat which I¡¯ve recently adopted.¡±

    Zhao Yao froze for a split second. After a few more questions, he was sure that the spirit cat Xiao Yu referred to was none other than Ho Hao Cang¡¯s Nekomata.

    With his power, Nekomata could hide so well that even Zhao Yao would not be able to locate it. Hence, Zhao Yao didn¡¯t even bother to spare any effort on this futile search. However, he never expected him to end up in Xiao Yu¡¯s care.

    ¡°Does that mean that Nekomata has already seen me? Maybe he¡¯s simply using Xiao Yu as a tool to exact revenge on me?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought long and hard about it before deciding to let Xiao Yu in on the secret. He started by asking, ¡°Xiao Yu, is your spirit cat around us right now?¡±

    ¡°Erm, yeah. What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    Chills ran down Zhao Yao¡¯s spine when he heard that response. Cold sweat beaded his forehead as Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Has he been here all this time?¡±

    Meow! With a gentle purr, Nekomata had materialized right before them. He then started to rub his body against Xiao Yu affectionately before she bent down to pick him up and cradled him in her arms, ¡°Nekomata, why did you suddenly appear? I thought you hate being seen by others?¡±

    Nekomata nced at Zhao Yao beforemunicating with him telepathically, ¡°Do not worry, I mean no harm to the both of you. You are not responsible for his death. Furthermore, he didn¡¯t die in your hands. He literally died in his own hands.¡±

    Actually, Nekomata had spent a long time pondering over his own rtionship with Xiao Yu and Zhao Yao since entering his extradimensional belly.

    Thest thing he wanted was to be enemy with Zhao Yao. It would be ideal if they could be partners, or even friends. Hence, he began to ignore Noddle and started to interact with Xiao Yu, in hopes of expressing his sincerity and goodwill.

    They became friends immediately. With his goodwill and significantly more powerful strength, it was hard not to.

    Zhao Yao was stunned by his sudden appearance. He had never expected Nekomata to appear on his own ord and even broached this taboo topic.

    Actually, there was nothing much Zhao Yao could do if Nekomata chose to remain invisible. To show up and exin the situation showed how sincere Nekomata was in establishing a new rtionship with Zhao Yao.

    The situation would be so thorny if Nekomata insisted on hiding behind the shadows.

    However, it was not that easy to earn Zhao Yao¡¯s trust with a few words.

    Hence, Zhao Yao only responded with a nod of his head. Deep inside, he was contemting whether to tell Xiao Yu the truth so that she can better guard herself against this potential adversary.

    ¡°If Xiao Yu borrows Nekomata¡¯s power every day, both of them would possess the spirit powers. Hence, they can see each other and defend against each other. This would be ayer of defense working against Nekomata. However, it was one which he could take away whenever he wished to.¡±

    At this point, Zhao Yao still couldn¡¯t decipher his true intentions behind his generosity towards Xiao Yu.

    Even though this partnership granted Xiao Yu an especially potent strength, it also brought along some inherent risks since she¡¯s spending so much time with this rtively unknown supercat.

    Zhao Yao thought about it and whipped out a cor from his pocket before passing it to Xiao Yu, ¡°Take it.¡±

    This was the special cor which was infused with Elizabeth¡¯s ability. A specific illusion had been sealed within it. Since earning Illusion¡¯s Seal (upgraded), the duration of the illusion had been extended to 1*Elizabeth¡¯s level.

    An illusion seal created by a lvl 6 Elizabeth wouldst for six days before expiring.

    He had specially sealed the illusion ¨C The 5 Senses ¨C within this cor.

    As he handed the cor over to her, he began tomunicate some thoughts telepathically.

    ¡°I told you some things about Nekomata just now, but I need you to be careful. Maybe you might even need this ... but this thing expires every six days. Hence, you have toe over to my caf¨¦ every six days.¡± He then continued to introduce the power and functions of the cor to her.

    It was impossible for Zhao Yao to deal with Nekomata when he was invisible. However, things were different when he was visible. Elizabeth¡¯s power of illusion provided the best counter to his ability.

    Xiao Yu nced at the cor before sliding Zhao Yao a condescending re, ¡°Zhao Yao, don¡¯t tell me that you have some weird fetishes.¡±

    While Zhao Yao was busy tending to both Nekomata and Xiao Yu, another problem had sprouted. Once again, Meng Hao¡¯s group of student apostles had gathered together. However, their smiles were gone. In its ce were faces of anger and even fear.

    One of the college students jumped to his feet before mming his fist against the table and roared, ¡°That bunch of scumbags! How dare they hurt Wang Jian? Even the doctor was taken aback by the severity of those fractures! It would at least take a few months before he can even lift up his arm. The doctors can¡¯t even promise us if he would regain his original flexibility and strength.¡±

    Those sharp words were like oil fueling the students¡¯ raging anger.

    ¡°Have we reported them to the police?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the point of calling the police? We have no eye-witness, no evidence. Even Wang Jian didn¡¯t manage to catch a glimpse of his attacker. All the police know is to ask us to be patient as we await the results of their stupid investigation.¡±

    ¡°Wang Jian is a rather strong apostle. Even he was trounced by this unknown assant. What are we supposed to do?¡±

    ¡°Will theye and hunt all of us down?¡±

    Fear was like a snake slithering through the back of everyone¡¯s mind. The thought of their potential demise at the hands of these ruthless attackers sent chills down their spine.

    After all, they were still students, shielded from the dangerous world. Initially, they got all excited and idealistic over their newly-acquired powers. They felt that things were about to change for once. Their initial sess coupled with Meng Hao¡¯s sweet-talking led them down this rabbit hole.

    However, Wang Jian¡¯s injury was just the tip of the iceberg. The evil forces were capable of things much more sinister, much more dangerous. Naturally, the students understood just how under-prepared they were in facing these cruel opponents.

    These were problems they were bound to meet in their lives. However, the severity of the situation was exacerbated by Matsuo¡¯s presence.

    For once, Meng Hao was at a loss for what to do. Fear continued to w through everyone¡¯s head, obliterating their initial aspirations and recing them with fear and concerns.

    Meng Hao tried to grab everyone¡¯s attention by letting out a few coughs as he asked, ¡°Are you afraid?¡±

    Everyone was stunned by his question. Even though fear had already splintered their heart, none of them dared to admit it. Instead, silence ensured. Then, Meng Hao spoke, ¡°I know, it¡¯s natural for humans to feel apprehension when first met with darkness. This is what makes us human. However, we can only prevail if wee together and defeat the evil forces hand in hand. Why did they only target one person? That¡¯s because they know that they can¡¯t defeat all of together. No one can hurt us if we stay united together.¡±

    Suddenly, the gullible students¡¯ eyes began to gleam with excitement as their original fear dissipated into thin air.

    Leveraging on this opportunity, Meng Hao continued, ¡°I have already paid for Wang Jian¡¯s medical bills. I even gave his parents RMB 100,000 for his future physiotherapy treatments. I understand your fears and empathize with youpletely. Hence, I will not object if any of you wish to pull out because of certain safety concerns ...¡±

    Meng Hao continued painting his beautiful picture as he talked about his future ns for the group. Everyone would stay together in a vi he had provided. This was a perfect opportunity for them to bond together. It was also a safety precaution to help ay some of their existing fears.

    In a matter of minutes, the crowd had regained their original confidence and gusto after Meng Hao¡¯s inspiring speech. Each of them pounded against their chest as they dered their resolve to take down the lending tform.

    Finally, a smile appeared on Meng Hao¡¯s face. He understood that he had met his objectives.

    In Meng Hao¡¯s eyes, this was not a setback. It was an opportunity. It provided them the perfect tform toe together as one. It would strengthen their bond and cohesiveness as a unit.

    Obviously, Meng Hao chose an opponent which he was confident against. As a fuerdai, he enjoyed connections in Jiangmen City that many could only crave for. He already had conducted a background check on this peer-to-peer lending tform. In essence, he knew exactly who he was dealing with.

    The owner behind it was an ordinary man. His connections in the city were as ordinary as he himself. Despite the numerous apostles working for him, the organization was still in its developmental stage. To Meng Hao, they were the perfect sparring partner for his equally nascent group.

    Meng Hao returned to his original spot after concluding his pep talk. He then set his eyes on Zhao Xue before asking, ¡°Zhao Xue, how did you find my speech just now?¡±

    Instead of showering him with praises and apuse, Zhao Xue responded by shooting down his proposals, ¡°Are you actually encouraging everyone to go against this lending tform? I am okay with your stupid protests because no one gets hurt. Are you actually ready to go up against other apostles in a real fight? Have you thought about it?¡±

    ¡°Are you worried about me?¡± Meng Hao hadpletely misunderstood her intentions as he continued, ¡°Do not worry. I¡¯ll be fine. I would actually be more concerned if they use nonviolent measures to go against us.¡±

    Meng Hao then propped his chin on his hand before divulging a secret, ¡°Actually, I have participated in the cat kingpetition.¡±

    Suddenly, Zhao Xue¡¯s eyes gleamed with a never before seen excitement, ¡°That means you¡¯ve met Guang Yu ... I mean have you met the headless horseman?¡±

    It was the first time his words actually managed to elicit a positive response from Zhao Xue. Hence, he jumped on the opportunity and continued, ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve even exchanged blows with him. I admit that he is strong but I actually stood a pretty good chance of taking him down.¡±

    Zhao Xue¡¯s jaw went ck as she asked, ¡°Are you trying to say that you can defeat him?¡±

    A bashful smile appeared on his face as he answered, ¡°Obviously, I stood a chance. If not, I wouldn¡¯t even bother participating in thatpetition. I participated with one objective ¨C to be the champion. Hence, do not worry about the lending tform. I am ready to take them down.¡±

    ...

    ¡°This matter must be resolved asap!¡±

    ¡°They are just a bunch of college kids! Are you telling me that you can¡¯t take care of them?¡±

    ¡°Matsuo, you have three days to take care of them.¡±

    Matsuo¡¯s forehead furrowed together when he heard those pressurizing remarks from the few boards of directors. However, he was still rtively confident after what had happened.

    He then left the meeting room with mes of anger and excitement raging through his body.

    Suddenly, one of his subordinates rushed over to him as he eximed, ¡°Boss!¡±

    Matsuo knew something was amiss and immediately rified, ¡°What happened? Are they continuing with all their stupid shenanigans?¡±

    His subordinate struggled to string his sentence together as he stammered, ¡°Originally, the students were already pissing in their pants. They were this close to waving their white gs. But then that stupid Meng Hao, with a few pennies in his pocket, started to sprinkle them with some money and words of encouragement. This got them all excited and motivated again! That stupid Meng Hao!¡±

    ¡°Meng Hao ...¡± Matsuo then whispered into his ears, ¡°Then just take care of him. Do you need me to teach you how?¡±

    ...

    While Meng Hao and the lending tform were still caught in their dispute, members of Storm organization were simply observing from their front row seats, with their arms folded. They had no intentions to intervene. Instead, they were thinking about capturing a few supercats back to Japan.

    Naturally, this was no easy task.

    Ishidaid on the sofa as he slid a nce at Sato and Onituska who were bruised beyond recognizable means. Ishida sneered, ¡°The both of you can¡¯t even take care of two bloody cats?¡±

    Sato immediately rushed to his own defense, ¡°Master Ishida, those two aren¡¯t ordinary cats. They were extremely strong, especially the one which possess the power of psychokinesis. Even my shadow weapon failed to pierce through it. We can¡¯t even break through his invisible shield.¡±

    ¡°Oh really?¡± These intriguing words had piqued Ishida¡¯s curiosity. He muttered, ¡°This power sounds rather interesting. Since I have nothing to do, we will go out together and try to find them.¡±

    Sato jumped to his feet and announced, ¡°That¡¯s great! With your strength, capturing these cats will be as easy as stealing a candy from a kid!¡± His hatred for Dust Ball and Ares could no longer be exined with words after those two humiliating incidents. Hence, he was over the moon when he heard Lord Ishida¡¯s words.

    Ishida nodded his head and continued, ¡°Capturing them isn¡¯t the problem. The key lies in finding them.¡±

    Onitsuka immediately chimed in, ¡°Even though we failed to capture them, we still managed to acquire some useful intel. These two cats have been appearing at the same ce over the past few days as they continue to terrorize residents and caused many inconveniences.¡±

    ¡°That makes my job as easy as ABC.¡± While Ishida spoke, his body had already submerged into the concrete ground and blended with his shadow. Ishida¡¯s shadow then extended into Sato¡¯s shadow beforebining as one.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll follow you in this form.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 380: The Hunt</h4>

    Hidekazu and Onitsuka strolled on the streets while Ishida concealed in their shadows.

    Up till now, the apostle who was more suited spiritually and physically to Kagemaru was Ishida. Ishida was able to effectively utilise the shadow abilities which included Shadow Jump, Shadow Weapons and Concealment.

    Because of theprehensiveness of the ability, the Japanese terror group only sent out Ishida as the believed he could aplish their mission.

    As for Ishida, he was very confident of himself. With his ability, he was able to fight his way from the lower tiers of the organisation to be part of the cadre.

    However, searching for the cat wasn¡¯t a simple task. Hidekazu and Onitsuka had already searched for a few hours but still couldn¡¯t find a trace of the two supercats.

    After a long period of time, Ishida couldn¡¯t help but asked, ¡°Still couldn¡¯t find them?¡±

    After hearing the sound from the shadows, Hidekazu wiped his sweat and replied, ¡°Not yet, but these two cats were hanging around here recently. We should locate them soon.¡±

    Ishida was unsatisfied, ¡°You are too slow. Split up and search.¡±

    Hidekazu was taken aback and blurted, ¡°Huh?¡±

    Ishida replied, ¡°How long do you want me to wait?¡±

    ¡°Yes, we shouldn¡¯t let Lord Ishida wait any longer.¡± Onitsuka said, ¡°Lord Ishida, please head this direction. Thest time the two cats met us, they were in the area we are heading to. Hidekazu, you head over to the other area. Even though we hadn¡¯t been there before but perhaps they would appear there today.¡±

    Hidekazu wanted to open his mouth to refute as he wished to go along with Ishida. However, he was unable toe up with a reason and could only watch Onitsuka disappear from his sight.

    Ishida¡¯s supercat, Kagemaru didn¡¯t follow them out. Compare to apostles, supercats were more valuable and important. Powerful organisations wouldn¡¯t simply let their supercats out for battle. After all, apostles could be reced but once a supercat was gone, it meant an ability would forever be gone.

    Hence, Kagemaru was still resting in the shadow of a hotel.

    Upon sighting that there wasn¡¯t anyone on that path, Hidekazu swallowed his saliva and thought, ¡°If I head there on my own and met the two supercats, wouldn¡¯t I be finished? I wouldn¡¯t know how they will toy with me. Because of his seniority, Onitsuka ced me in a dangerous situation.¡±

    The more he thought about it, the more unsatisfied he was. He stopped at the corner of the street after a few steps.

    ¡°You want me to head to my death, only a fool would do that.¡± Hidekazu was determined, ¡°I would rather wait here, wait for half an hour before heading back to Onitsuka. I would just say that I had already walked the streets and didn¡¯t manage to locate them.¡±

    He nodded to himself and took out a cigarette. He stood on an empty street as he waited for time to pass.

    The cold wind blew and howled. Hidekazu shuddered, ¡°Winter in Jiangmen City is pretty cold.¡±

    Hidekazu was suddenly fearful as he stood alone on the empty street, ¡°This area is within the vicinity of where these two cats would be. What if I really met them?¡±

    As the thought, he was even more scared and decided to change a location to wait. At this moment, a ¡®meow¡¯ rang from behind. He was frightened till his hairs stood and he froze.

    ¡°I¡¯m not that unlucky?¡± Another ¡®meow¡¯ sounded. Hidekazu hurriedly turned around and when he saw it was just a white cating towards his feet. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, ¡°That¡¯s lucky. I was almost scared to death.¡±

    He kneeled down and stroked the cat as he smiled, ¡°Little kitty, you almost frightened me to death.¡±

    As he was alone, he spoke in Japanese and the cat stared at him with a puzzled expression. It then began rubbing against his leg.

    ¡°Woah, you¡¯re so obedient.¡± Hidekazu happily extended his arm to pick up the cat but the cat shunned and ran, disappearing into the greenery.

    ¡°Sigh, that¡¯s a cat. They be crazy out of nowhere.¡± Hidekazu shook his head. He left his spot and nned to find a safer location to wait out his remaining time.

    After a few minutes, when he neared a flower terrace, the white cat that appeared previously dashed out and meowed in his direction.

    Hidekazu smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s you again, why are you here?¡±

    In the supercatnguage which Hidekazu could notprehend, the white cat shouted, ¡°Boss, this is the Japanese which I had met just now!¡±

    At the next moment, Ares and Dust Ball emerged from the flower terrace.

    ¡°Eh!!??¡± Hidekazu froze for a moment and at the next moment, he utilised Shadow Jump to move 5 metres away and escaped.

    ¡°Meow!¡± Ares bellowed. He utilised his repulsive ability and chased after him together with Dust Ball.

    The white cat decided that it wasn¡¯t his business anymore and disappeared back into the flower terrace. He was actually a supercat that lived nearby. Since Ares and Dustball had recently been trying toplete their task in the vicinity, they caused quite a turmoil and hence confronted several local supercats.

    With Ares¡¯ and Dust Ball¡¯s abilities, they managed to suppress this group of supercats and wanted them to help search for a person who required help and a Japanese.

    Although Ares and Dust Ball chased with their maximum effort, Hidekazu continuously used Shadow Jump and sprinted, they didn¡¯t manage to catch up.

    Hidekazu was well-trained and the Shadow Jump allowed him to widen the distance by 5 metres in an instant. The sky was dark and hence with the many shadows casted by the surrounding streetmps, he could effectively utilise them to employ his ability.

    As they saw Hidekazu widened the gap between them, Ares let out a shriek which sent ripples through the air. He lifted a stone and forcefully threw in the direction of Hidekazu.

    Ow!

    The stone smashed into Hidekazu¡¯s shoulder, apanied by a scream of agony as he mmed onto the ground.

    However, he reacted quickly. He nted his palm on the floor and with a flicker, he emerged from a shadow 5 metres away and continued sprinting.

    But with this, the gap between them shortened and Ares continued heaving objects in his direction which didn¡¯t allow Hidekazu to disappear from their sight.

    Hidekazu relied on his stamina to escape while Ares utilised the repulsion to elerate. Hence, Hidekazu¡¯s speed quickly decreased and the gap narrowed.

    Ares extended his hand and the repulsion field became a giant invisible hand which could grab onto Hidekazu. At this moment, over ten streaks of shadows emerged from the darkness which collided with the repulsion field. This defended Hidekazu from Ares¡¯ attack.

    From the shadow, Onitsuka appeared and the streaks of shadows were summoned from below his feet. Hidekazu emotionally ran towards him.

    The shadow below Onitsuka sighed, ¡°Finally found them.¡±

    Ares¡¯ and Dust Ball¡¯s eyes sparkled at the sudden appearance of Onitsuka and felt that they were able to leave early.

    However, Ishida¡¯s attack spoiled their ns.

    Apanied by a soft thud, the streaks of shadows channeled out. As the distance between them was closer this time, they shot out from Ares¡¯ and Dust Ball¡¯s shadows and surrounded them like spikes of a hedgehog.

    Even though it was nearer and faster this time, Ares had already experienced the same manoeuvre multiple times. He then calmly shifted his repulsive field which blocked and smashed the shadows.

    The strength of the shadows were simr to that of iron and hence Ares¡¯ repulsive field was able to easily settle them.

    After settling the shadows, Ares shifted his attention to the two Japanese, ¡°So lucky to meet you guys again today.¡±

    He thought that they would be shocked and helpless but it wasn¡¯t the case. Hidekazu and Onitsuka remained calm and expressionless while staring at him.

    While Ares was feeling suspicious, a faint voice with thick Japanese ent came out of nowhere.

    ¡°He he, quite impressive abilities.¡±

    Ares¡¯ expression changed immediately as he saw two ck streaks emerged from the shadow below his stomach. With a twist, they shot towards his legs.

    The repulsive field which covered him exploded in an instant with a loud sound and the two ck streaks got shattered.

    However, more ck streaks emerged from his body which led him to be in a crisis.

    Ares panicked and thought, ¡°His ability wasn¡¯t so advanced back then, what¡¯s happening?¡±

    He thought that he didn¡¯t witness theplete ability the previous time. Onitsuka¡¯s shadow weapons or Hidekazu¡¯s shadow jumps were merelyponents of the ability.

    Now the ability that Ishida held was theplete set of Shadow ability and he was able to disguise himself in the shadow.

    Onitsuka¡¯s shadow weapon and Hidekazu¡¯s shadow jump required them to physically approach the shadows to utilise their abilities which limited their effectiveness. Shadow Jump was also dependent on the surface area of Hidekazu¡¯s shadow.

    But Ishida was able to integrate himself into a shadow. After he bes a shadow, he can utilise the shadow jump and shadow weapon at will which allowed him to be untraceable and attack from any corner. The victims could not retaliate too since they could not locate the shadow he was hiding in.

    Especially in a dark night like this, there were shadows everywhere. Ares had shadows all around him too and Ishida could jump into any shadow. He instantly jumped in the shadow below Ares and began his attack.

    Bam bam bam!

    ck streaks continuously emerged from his body but were immediately repelled by his repulsive field.

    ¡°What¡¯s this?¡±

    Ares originally utilised the repulsive field to cover himself as a defensive mechanism. However, no matter how tightly he was enclosed in the repulsive field, he still wasn¡¯t able to separate his body from his shadows.

    As he looked at Ares gradually being covered byyers of shadow streaks, Ishida said with ease, ¡°How long are you going to persist? The reason you are not dead yet is because I don¡¯t feel like killing you.¡±

    ¡°Dust Ball!¡±

    Ares looked at Dust Ball¡¯s initial position but it was already vacated. ¡°Damn! You escaped?¡±

    Boom boom boom!

    The repulsive field continuously exploded. Ares was still continuously attacked by Ishida¡¯s shadow streaks. He kept attempting to escape but even the poles on the roadsides and trees were victims of the onught.

    ¡°There¡¯s no point, my shadow attack doesn¡¯t have any limitation.¡± Ishida slowly increased the intensity of his onught while he casually said, ¡°If you surrender early, you will suffer less pain.¡±

    ¡°Meow!¡± Ares wouldn¡¯t give up. With a howl, he dashed in the direction of Onitsuka and Hidekazu.

    When they saw Aresing at them, they immediately retreated. Ares was still attacked by a the streaks of shadow and was unable to escape.

    At this moment, Ares suddenly vanished.

    A sea of ck appeared in front of Ishida and it seemed like he was transported to a strange ce which was the extradimensional belly.

    In fact, Dust Ball didn¡¯t escape but went to open a transparent door and called for Ares to escape to.

    Ishida was brought into the extradimensional belly and was stunned.

    ¡°What¡¯s this ce?¡±

    Shing shing shing shing! Streaks of ck emerged from the shadows and Ishida threatened, ¡°Bring me back or I will immediately kill you.¡±

    Ares justughed him off and did not speak. Initially he wasn¡¯t able to escape from Ishida¡¯s ability but it wasn¡¯t easy to just kill him. Even more so when they were in his territory now, how would Ares feel threatened.

    Fujin, Lion Head, Catherine... slowly emerged and over ten of the supercats curiously looked over from a distance.

    Ishida was taken aback, ¡°So many? Are all of them supercats?¡±

    Among the supercats, the Sphynx Cat was walking at the front and he looked at Ares worriedly and asked, ¡°Ares, what happened? What¡¯s that on your body?¡±

    Before Ares could reply, Dust Ball shouted out, ¡°I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s a supercat or apostle, but he was able to be a shadow and attacked us! This fellow almost killed Ares, it scared me!¡±

    Thump thump!

    Apanied by Dust Ball¡¯s meows, all the supercats seemed to have heard loud thumps emanating from the Sphynx cat.

    Sphynx cat walked quickly towards Ares and asked with concern, ¡°Ares, are you okay?¡±

    Ares immediately replied, ¡°Don¡¯te over first.¡± At the same instant, the ck streaks on his body moved and Ishida called out, ¡°Don¡¯te over!¡±

    At the next moment, the ws of the Sphynx cat shifted with a blink of an eye. The supercats only felt that his ws seemed to have moved but didn¡¯t know what happened.

    With a rumble, the streaks of shadows on Ares¡¯ body were shattered and vanished into thin air.

 Chapter 382: Siege

    <h4>Chapter 382: Siege</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    The Sphynx cat said gently, ¡°Ares, don¡¯t move, I will help you get rid of that evil being.¡± After he finished speaking, he stared at the shadow ferociously.

    Ares was shocked. Although Ishida couldn¡¯t understand them, he could feel the intent of the opposition and raged, ¡°You are looking for trouble.¡±

    Whoosh!

    Over ten ck streaks emerged from the shadows which Ares¡¯ body casted. With the overwhelming number and power, it was sufficient to turned a grown adult into minced meat.

    But for Sphynx cat, the streaks only travelled for a minimal distance before the Sphynx cat whipped out his manoeuvre to surround Ares. His ws disappeared and only a faint illusion remained.

    In the Sphynx cat¡¯s vision, everything seemed to have remained static. He simply extended his ws and attacked the streaks.

    At the next moment, thump thump thump! All the streaks had just emerged but had already been destroyed by the Sphynx cat.

    Initially, the Sphynx cat already had an impressive constitution which was beyond imagination. His strength was measurable to the repulsive field after the st.

    However, this month, Zhao Yao raised him by 4 levels which resulted in him being level 5. This allowed him to enjoy legendary cat food as well train in the gravity chamber. His body improved by leaps and bounds thereafter.

    With a casual showcase of his ability, the speed of his execution had already far outperformed the physical capabilities of living organisms on Earth.

    Ishida could not believe his eyes and he was extremely stunned, ¡°What¡¯s this monster?!¡±

    It was the first time he saw an opponent broke down his attack in this fashion. He couldn¡¯t even imagine this happening.

    ¡°So what! I am integrated with the shadows, you can¡¯t attack me.¡± He executed a shadow jump andnded in the shadow beneath Sphynx cat¡¯s belly and kept rotating between the shadows os his belly, ears, calves and buttocks.

    ¡°He he, what are you going to do now?¡± Ishida smiled coldly, ¡°Can you block off such an attack?¡±

    Streaks of shadows emerged from the shadows casted by Sphynx cat¡¯s body and shot towards his body.

    Previously when Sphynx cat attacked the surface of Ares¡¯ body, he was able to distinguish and feel the position and angle of manoeuvre.

    However, this time it was his own body and there were many weak spots.

    It was important to note the physical structure of cats did not allow them to be physically able to touch many spots on their own. Ishida taken this into ount and began his onught on the Sphynx cat.

    At the next instant, the streaks struck Sphynx cat¡¯s body and without the protection of fur, they stuck onto his flesh.

    However, something happened left Ishida shell shocked.

    With a slight hum and movement of his body, the ck streaks that stuck onto his body immediately shattered.

    Even though the attack of the shadow weapons were unpredictable but their strength was merely that of steel and hence was unable to prate Sphynx cat¡¯s body.

    ¡°Is this a joke? How could this be happening?¡± Ishida had been through numerous battles and this was the first time he felt fear. He continued shooting ck streaks at Sphynx cat¡¯s body but they just ended up being shattered.

    Sphynx cat had no intention to guard himself and just stood there. His eyes shifted quickly to look at the streaksunching towards his body.

    Whoosh! A streak targeted his eyes. The attack which seemed quick as lightning bolt to an ordinary person was as slow as a snail to him.

    He even had sufficient time to wait for the streak to appear right before his eyes before shutting his eyelids to shatter it.

    ¡°Hng, I don¡¯t believe all the cats here are as impressive as you.¡±

    After epting the fact that he was no match for his cat, he clenched his teeth and performed shadow jump andnded on Fujin.

    But Sphynx cat still stuck closely and continued destroying the streaks of shadow that were emanated.

    Ishida performed shadow jump again andnded on Rakshasa¡¯s body but realised his body was already coated with ayer of metal. The onught only resulted in loud continuous explosions and Rakshasa remained unharmed. Sphynx cat did not even need to do anything.

    He shadow jumped again andnded on Uncle Egg¡¯s back. Ares swiftly appeared to counter his attack.

    Ishida shadow jumped yet again andnded on Lucifer¡¯s belly. The ck streaks extended out and covered Lucifer. This time, Sphynx cat just stood at one side and did not act.

    Ishida immediately shouted, ¡°Don¡¯te over, or else...¡±

    Poof!

    Ishida was shocked as when Lucifer struck his head on the streaks till he was face full of blood, he merely stuck out his tongue and let out a small moan, ¡°Meow.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s amazing!¡±

    Poof poof poof!

    Ishida was stunned as Lucifer struck his head, arms and belly on the streaks which resulted in him being covered in blood but he still let outfortable grunts.

    He owned a cat too and this type of sounds were only heard when they were put in afortable position. What¡¯s happening to this cat?

    Don¡¯t even talk about meeting one, Ishida didn¡¯t even imagined there would be this type of cat.

    Lucifer also disyed rapid regeneration as the ck streaks vanished along with his wounds, recovering in an instant.

    But he suffered much less pain and Lucifer couldn¡¯t help but jabbed himself repeatedly.

    ¡°This cat... is perverted.¡±

    Ishida was unwilling to stay and with a flicker, he transported to the body of Catherine.

    ¡°Don¡¯t move...¡±

    But this time, Ishida was taken aback as his voice began diminishing. After which, with a loud thud, he emerged from the shadows and fell in human form and snored.

    Catherine¡¯s ability was to make people that looked at her fall asleep. When Ishida was tricked to move onto her, he immediately fell asleep.

    His consciousness diminished while he sleep and hence his ability was erased.

    However, the sleep that was induced by Catherine was very mild. He was awake by the time hended on the ground. Once he opened his eyes, Sphynx cat had already mysteriously appeared before him and his palms became nearer and nearer. At the next instant, he cked out.

    On the other side, Onitsuka and Hidekazu kneeled on the ground and were depressed.

    Hidekazu knocked on the shadow on the ground, ¡°Lord Ishida, are you still there?¡±

    <h4>Chapter 383: Management</h4>

    Looking at Ishida who was beaten unconscious by him, Sphynx cat revealed a smile. However, he did not immediately kill him off but instead waved his ws and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be near him. He is able to be a shadow and is probably momentarily shifting between shadows.¡±

    Sphynx cat had a lot of experience battling. Initially to gather his group, he captured supercats. The year after he was awoken, he experienced many battles and had interacted, investigated, battled and subdued many supercats. Therefore, he had a rich experience.

    Additionally, he had an impressive vision and with that, it allowed him to view the entire process of Ishida¡¯s showcase of ability and identified the deceit.

    Sphynx cat continued, ¡°This fellow¡¯s ability has a limit on proximity. The jumps he made previously did not exceed 4.8 metres. We should space out.¡±

    While he spoke, he circled around Ishida and removed the items that were around him. This made Ishida the center of the extradimensional belly with an empty circle of 7 to 8 metres radius circling him.

    ¡°Let¡¯s temporarily do it like this.¡± Sphynx cat looked at Dust Ball and said, ¡°How should we proceed from here? Zhao Yao seemed to not like killing people.¡±

    With Sphynx cat¡¯s character, he would have destroyed Ishida in an instant. But on one hand, he was under Zhao Yao and Zhao Yao seemed like he wouldn¡¯t want to kill people. On another hand, he didn¡¯t want to appear too savage in front of Ares.

    With a flicker, Dust Ball disappeared and his voice slowly trailed off, ¡°Let me ask.¡±

    Ares was listening to the breakdown by Sphynx cat and understood, ¡°That¡¯s why he could teleport. Additionally, shadows do not take up space and hence he could evade my repulsive field tond between the repulsive field and my flesh...¡±

    Ares was invincible with his ability of creating a repulsive field and could easily bulldoze through the battle.

    However, the more abilities he witnessed, he then truly understood that that there wasn¡¯t such a thing as an invincible ability.

    His repulsive field was already impressive but if he had to battle with Sphynx cat now, he would be dead in a second. But if Sphynx cat was to face Elizabeth, he would lose with a look in the eyes. And if Elizabeth was to face the repulsive field, she would be defenseless too.

    Ares let out a soft sigh, ¡°There isn¡¯t an invincible ability. In a solo battle, wisdom and lucky are probably more important. In a group battle, it then depends on who has more varied abilities to counter the abilities of the opponents. Chemistry of the group ys a big part too. Hence, the groups of supercats are all seeking to gather more supercats to garner more firepower.¡±

    ¡°Sigh, I still have much to learn about this.¡±

    Sphynx cat came to Ares and encouraged him, ¡°Ares, you have superb ability. With more battle experience, you will be even better.¡±

    Ares nodded, ¡°I am fortunate to have you brothers. With more brothers, we have more abilities...¡±

    ¡°Wa ha ha ha!¡± While everyone was gathered a distance from Ishida¡¯s body,ughter reverberated from in front of theputer. Gaia danced with excitement in front of the screen and eximed, ¡°This is too fun! I didn¡¯t know that there is such a fun game in this world, I loved it after just ying for a bit!¡±

    ¡°Eh? Why did my voice change?¡±

    Bang!

    Ares sent a repulsive force to strike Gaia from the back to knock him onto the ground and said, ¡°What an idiot.¡±

    On the other side, Dust Ball returned home. He moved into Zhao Yao¡¯s room and climbed onto his bed.

    Ares and Dust Ball began their mission at a veryte timing and Zhao Yao was already asleep.

    Gentle snores could be heard. Dust Ball softly carefully patted Zhao Yao to wake him up and whispered, ¡°Zhao Yao, wake up, we have caught the Japanese.¡±

    Zhao Yao shifted but did not wake up.

    Dust Ball continued tapping his cheek and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, quickly wake up, we have caught the Japanese!¡±

    ¡°Hm,¡± Zhao Yao hummed and covered his face with the nket.

    ¡°Thiszy pig.¡± Dust Ball clenched his teeth and shouted fiercely, ¡°Zhao Yao! Don¡¯t act like you are sleeping, I know you are long awake. Quicklye to the extradimensional belly, we have caught the Japanese!¡±

    Zhao Yao was long awake. With his current sensitivity, he knew when Dust Ball entered the room. But he still wanted to continue sleeping and not wake up.

    Hence, even after listening to Dust Ball, he continued to sleep.

    Dust Ball was angered, went onto his head and continued shouting, ¡°Quickly wake up! We don¡¯t know how to handle the Japanese!!¡±

    Zhao Yao was still groggy and replied impatiently, ¡°I have withdrew your mission limitations, you all settle him yourselves.¡±

    Zhao Yao finished speaking, turned around and continued sleeping.

    Dust Ball looked at him being epassed by his nket, he had no choice but to let out a sigh and went to find Elizabeth and the rest. Dust Ball had followed Zhao Yao for so long and faintly understood that Zhao Yao could help the cats promote and be stronger.

    Besides her, the other cats that became stronger were Elizabeth, Matcha, Ares, Lucifer and Sphynx cat.

    Elizabeth and Matcha had also realised they can look at their own level and experience points. Once they Dust Ball say that they could aplish missions to gain experience, raise ranks and be stronger, they were interested. They left Rice Cake and Roly Poly who were ying their games behind. Dust Ball wanted to bring Elizabeth and Matcha into the extradimensional belly.

    However, Roly Poly blocked their way and was angered, ¡°I don¡¯t believe, on what basis can you all promote? Zhao Yao adores me, I should promote too.¡±

    Matcha red at Roly Poly and thought to himself, ¡°This fat cat has be more exaggerated. He even secretly created a clique, what a joke. I need to put him down bit by bit to let him know who¡¯s the sole dictator of this household.¡±

    He smiled coldly, ¡°Can you see your own level and experience points?¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s expression turned stiff, ¡°No.¡±

    Matcha replied, ¡°Then you can¡¯t promote.¡±

    ¡°How can that be possible, I¡¯m worth so much to Zhao Yao, how can I not gain experience points. I¡¯ve even felt my stealth ability getting stronger, my rank might have even rose already.¡± Roly Poly felt indignant, ¡°I mustplete tasks and gain experience points. It¡¯s just that I haven¡¯t been inspired. I will go and gain experience points.¡±

    Matcha shook his ws and looked at Roly Poly with an unconcerned look, ¡°You think Zhao Yao determines who can promote? The ability to promote represents the cat¡¯s aptitude and it can¡¯t be forced. You look at us cats that can promote, we are glistening and are generational cats with superb attributes.¡±

    As he spoke, he looked at Elizabeth and Dust Ball. They nodded in agreement.

    Matcha smiled proudly and boasted, ¡°You still don¡¯t understand. Fat and dumb Roly Poly, don¡¯t think that although we can still y games together. As a matter of fact, there is already a world of difference between us. We are two different worlds¡¯ cats.¡±

    ¡°Damn it.¡± Roly Poly was furious. He was indignant and stared at Matcha, ¡°I refuse, I want to aplish missions too.¡±

    ¡°Fine,¡± Dust Ball was impatient, ¡°Come along if you want to.¡±

    Ishida feltfortable and at ease and it seemed like he had entered a paradise with much warmth. He gradually opened his eyes but instantly realised his body was paralyzed. He felt that he couldn¡¯t do anything and the feeling offort dissipated.

    He opened his eyes and saw a ragdoll staring at him.

    Elizabeth utilised phic therapy on him to allow him to regain consciousness and immediately took control of his body.

    Ishida struggled for a moment and realised that he couldn¡¯t move a single bit, as if his body wasn¡¯t his anymore. At the same moment, he could see that there were other cats beside the ragdoll, staring at him with ill-intent andmunicating amongst themselves.

    ¡°All of you can see your own levels and experience points right?¡± Matcha nced at Roly Poly and continued, ¡°Who goes first?¡±

    ¡°Let me.¡± Ares paced forward. Like a veteran, he said, ¡°Aplishing missions is actually easy, the key element is to find out what the other party wants and help him. Of course, sometimes the other party don¡¯t need help. This requires us to create an environment for him to seek help.¡±

    Ares then inducted the repulsive field and targeted a few blows at Ishida¡¯s head. After getting struck, Ishida¡¯s world began spinning and seemed to begin losing consciousness.

    Ares used the phone to speak, ¡°Hello, what help do you need?¡±

    Ishida spoke dizzily, ¡°Let me go!¡±

    ¡°Look at the golden exmation mark on his head. It¡¯s okay if you can¡¯t see it, not everyone can receive the mission¡±

    Ares smiled, ¡°Yes, this mission will give 5 experience points and he needs my help to remove the control.¡± He turned to speak to Elizabeth, ¡°You release your hold of him first. If he attempts to escape, control him again.¡±

    Hence, Elizabeth temporarily withdrew her control. Once Ishida felt that he regained control of his body, he immediately utilised his ability.

    He immediately sunk into the ground and in a blink of an eye integrated into a shadow.

    But before he was able topletely integrate into a shadow, his body became stiff again and was held in control by Elizabeth. He gradually turned back into his human body.

    ¡°It¡¯s done.¡± Ares asked, ¡°Who wants to go next?¡±

    Sphynx cat excitedly stepped forward and smiled, ¡°I received it. It¡¯s worth 5 experience points.¡±

    Following which, the supercats began taking turns utilising Ishida to earn experience points.

    ¡°Experience points... 7 points!¡±

    ¡°Experience points... 3 points.¡±

    ¡°This is worth 10 experience points!¡±

    When every supercat went up, they reported their experience points. Every time it hit a new high, they would all cheer.

    ¡°12 experience points!¡± Matcha cheerfullypleted his task. He turned and looked at Roly Poly and said, ¡°Roly Poly, didn¡¯t you say that you can aplish a task too? Come and try then.¡±

    Matcha wasughing to himself inside, ¡°This fellow can¡¯t even see the experience points. I willpletely wreck his dignity today and make him a worthless scum and get back everything of this household!¡±

    Roly Poly began to panic after witnessing all the supercatspleting their tasks as he didn¡¯t see the golden exmation mark before.

    Now that Matcha asked, he was even more angry and anxious and could only snort, ¡°I will try then.¡±

    Roly Poly walked to Ishida and took a deep breath. He pped Ishida a few times and all he got was a re from him.

    He swallowed his saliva and stepped on Ishida¡¯s face a few times, ¡°Give me a task, give me a task, quickly give me a task!¡±

    After stepping for a minute, the golden exmation mark did not appear nor was there any cue.

    ¡°How can this be possible? I really can¡¯t promote? No aptitude? Then how can I inherit the property in the future and manage the kingdom? How can I fight with Matcha?¡±

    Looking at the curious nces from the cats behind along with Matcha¡¯s condescending expression, Roly Poly became even more panicky. He continued hitting and kicking Ishida while the phone kept repeating:

    ¡°What help do you need?¡±

    ¡°What help do you need?¡±

    ¡°What help do you need?¡±

    Seeing that Roly Poly was tiredly sticking his tongue out, many scars were wed on Ishida¡¯s face, there was still no task given. Matcha asked with disdain, ¡°Can you do it? If you can¡¯t, just leave. There are still many cats waiting.¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s fur stood with anger and his ws extended from his paws. At the same time, he was even more flustered, ¡°I really can¡¯t do it? I will have to be below Matcha from now on?¡±

    ¡°Deng deng deng! Roly Poly, today you realise the vast difference between us. You are just a lowly cat your whole life!¡± Matcha thought to himself.

    He then walked up andughed with exaggeration, ¡°Go away go away. If you can¡¯t receive the task, don¡¯t block my way.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s it! That¡¯s it!¡± Matcha screamed loudly inside, ¡°Today I willpletely destroy your fighting spirit. This will remind you for the rest of your life that you can only be under me!¡±

    Suddenly, Roly Poly jerked his head up and shouted, ¡°I received my task! Experience points... 5 points!¡±

    Matcha was slightly taken aback and was startled, ¡°What?¡± He looked at Ishida¡¯s head and there definitely was a golden exmation mark.

    Roly Poly looked at Elizabeth and shouted, ¡°Let him go for a moment.¡±

    Elizabeth followed his instruction and the golden exmation mark disappeared. Roly Poly smiled, ¡°I¡¯ve done it, I¡¯ve done it. I¡¯ve gained 5 experience points.¡±

    Matcha looked at him and snorted. He then proceed up toplete his task.

    Roly Poly returned and the supercats congratted, ¡°Roly Poly, you can actually aplish tasks too.¡±

    ¡°Roly Poly, what¡¯s your level now?¡±

    ¡°Roly Poly, how many experience points are you left to level up?¡±

    He managed to deceive them with much difficulty. He heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the non-existent sweat on his head. ¡°Damn it, luckily I thought of a way to act like I can do it. If not, I would have beenpletely embarrassed.¡±

    In reality, Roly Poly did not receive any task. He just acted like he did and what he did definitely induced a request from Ishida. Hence, the supercats around could see the golden exmation mark.

    Hence, he could only act like he was receiving andpleting assignments together with the rest of them who were able to. But only he himself knew that it was all an act.

    After a few hours, as the dawn was breaking, Onitsuka and Hidekazu were kneeling by the road with nk expressions.

    ¡°What should we do? Lord Ishida has gone missing.¡± Hidekazu said dejectedly.

    In these few hours, they have searched the shadows in surrounding streets, forests and every corner. However they were still unable to find Ishida. Once they thought of the reaction from the party in Japan, they were both panic-stricken.

    With thest glimmer of hope, they headed back to where they lost Ishida and of course, Ishida wasn¡¯t there.

    Onitsuka suddenly clenched his teeth and said, ¡°We might as well run away.¡±

    Hidekazu was apprehensive, ¡°Run away?¡±

    Onitsuka nodded and replied, ¡°Of course, how do you think those old guys in Japan will handle us when news of Ishida missing reaches them? How are we going to make up for our mistake?¡±

    Onitsuka looked straight into Hidekazu¡¯s eyes and listed out the frightening possible consequences that they would have to suffer, ¡°Dragged to dig the mines? Break a finger? Or to kill ourselves?¡±

    Hidekazu shuddered and clutched his head, ¡°Then where should we run to? We don¡¯t know English. God, please return Lord Ishida to us.¡±

    With a sudden thud, the two of them lifted their heads and realised at some moment, a heavily bruised and tattered clothed Ishidanded in front of them.

    Hidekazu opened his mouth and with a glitter in his eyes, he continued, ¡°God, please give me one hundred million yen!¡±

    Aughter rang, Hidekazu and Onitsuka felt a force dragged them and were plunged forward.

    Their visions turned pitch ck and they hade to the extradimensional belly. They then saw Sphynx cat, Ares and a few supercats staring at them evilly while sneering.

    After a few hours, the heavily bruised trio of Ishida, Hidekazu and Onitsuka were lying together in their hotel room.

    Mad rage shed in Ishida¡¯s eyes, ¡°Idiots, these Chinese cats, I won¡¯t let them off.¡±

    Hidekazu whispered, ¡°Lord Ishida, I think we shouldn¡¯t fight with these Chinese cats.¡±

    ¡°Yes, they are too brutal, they are all perverted murderers. They have extremely ill intentions for humans.¡± Onitsuka spoke and shuddered as he seemed to thought about the frightening encounter in that strange space.

    ¡°These cats must have been tortured by humans since they were young and hence have a deep scar etched in their hearts. Once they discovered their powers, they then vowed to revenge on humans and torture mankind.¡±

    The more he thought, the more Onitsuka agreed with himself, ¡°Lord Ishida, these cats are powerful and perverted. We should not capture them. Instead, by leaving them in China, they would be a massive headache to the Chinese government. With these supercats which have extremely enmity towards humans, let¡¯s just leave it to the Chinese government to settle them.¡±

    Ishida couldn¡¯t help but nod his head and epted this reason.

    In actual fact, their opponent had so many supercats with all kinds of extraordinary abilities. It was impossible for him to be victorious, so he merely talked about wanting to take revenge. Now a tform was set for him to step down without hurting his pride, he then withdrew from the topic.

    ¡°Hm, after all they are a group of cats. Their wisdom and foresight still can¡¯t match humans. They are crazily trying to aplish missions, it will be a matter of time before the authorities know about it and settle them. I don¡¯t need to waste my time and effort to pit myself against them.¡±

    ...

    On the other side, it was early in the morning and the office of the lendingpany was already filled with people.

    With a newly released financial product that ensures 24% ie returns, many males and females were here early in the morning to consult and purchase this product.

    ck Panther was here with his brothers to borrow money.

    He had heard his brother say, ¡°Brother ck Panther, I have people that I know in thispany, you can borrow money interest-free from them. There won¡¯t be any interest and then you can immediately use that money as deposit and being work immediately.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± ck Panther replied joyfully, ¡°You treat me well.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s nothing much, we are brothers.¡± He continued, ¡°After all this is a bigpany, I have discussed with their manager to not earn interest from you. However, when you sign the papers, it will still state that you are required to pay the interest. This is just to let their boss see, you can rest assured and sign.¡±

    Xiao Ming who was dressed in a suit like a Real Estate Agent appeared in front of them. He wore an awkward smile and respectfully asked, ¡°Nice to meet you, I am Xiao Ming from xxxx, I am the Sales Manager here. Are you here to borrow money?¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes, like what we said previously.¡± He ignored Xiao Ming¡¯s look of astonishment and continued, ¡°My brother wants to borrow $20,000. We can begin.¡±

    ¡°Oh okay, how we do it is...¡±

    ¡°Hold on,¡± ck Panther looked at them doubtfully, ¡°I have a personal habit. When I do things, borrow money, I do it with my brothers.¡± He looked at Xiao Ming and asked, ¡°Are you willing to be my brother?¡±

    Xiao Ming was taken aback, ¡°I...¡±

    While they were having the conversation, noises sounded from outside.

    There were people who came to cause they imed that they were illegal moneylenders. They were protesting against their acts of harassment via phone calls and chasing of debts.

    Based on logic, even though these people hated the moneylenders to the core, they wouldn¡¯t dare toe here and protest. Someone must have gathered them here.

    Matsuo stood at the ss window of his office and raised his eyebrows at the sight of the protesters.

    Since the incident when the group student apostles led by Meng Hao sent someone to attempt to takeover, the conflict between the two parties intensified.

    Firstly Matsuo¡¯s group injured one of them. The opposition came together and Matsuo¡¯s subordinate tried to carry out a sneak attack. However, Meng Hao broke 4 of his rib bones and threw him out.

    With the constant altercation, Meng Hao then decided to gather arge group of clients who owedrge sums of money to clog up the entrance to the office and spark a conflict.

    No matter the conclusions, this situation would have detrimental effects on their reputation.

    For example, a lot of people that were here fled after witnessing the protests.

    Matsuo clenched his teeth firmly at this scene and muttered, ¡°Damn it.¡±

    Xiao Ming also saw the frowning ck Panther and immediately cusped his hand and said, ¡°Brother, this business... No, I will be your brother!¡±

    <h4>Chapter 386: 382 Roly Poly, what happened to you?</h4>

    Xiao Ming brought ck Panther to undertake the administrative process. Matsuo gathered the apostles under him. He frowned and questioned, ¡°What are you all doing? A few university students and you can¡¯t handle them after such a long time?¡±

    ¡°Boss, the fellow named Meng Hao isn¡¯t easy to settle.¡±

    ¡°Yes, although he is young, he already has a lot of manoeuvres. He has the connections and his ability cannot be underestimated. I heard that he had participated in the previous bout and the Headless Horseman retreated after battling him.¡±

    ¡°Headless Horseman?¡± Matsuo frowned.

    ¡°Boss, you aren¡¯t an apostle, you probably don¡¯t understand these matters. Headless Horseman is regarded as the strongest apostle in Jiangmen City...¡±

    After the previous Cat Kingpetition, together with the 4 Cat Kings¡¯ influence as well as from the word of mouth of the participants, this legend travelled far and wide. The more they were circted, the more incredible the tale.

    Now the opposition was recognised as the fellow that could matched up to the Headless Horseman. Hence, when Matsuo¡¯s apostles came up against him, they exercised much more caution.

    Matsuo heard their exnations and understood the circumstance.

    To put it simply, a kid called Meng Hao with a background, extraordinary fighting spirit and strong. He¡¯s difficult to deal with.

    ¡°These Chinese...¡± Matsuo squinted as he understood how they were thinking. These apostles which he brought in were local and of course they weren¡¯t willing to go against a powerful opponent for money. They would just fight for the sake of it.

    After his apostles left, he shook his head and thought, ¡°These Chinese are unreliable as expected. They kept boasting about their abilities when in actual fact, they are worth nothing. What a waste of my money.¡±

    At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Matsuo calmly replied, ¡°Come in.¡±

    A female ountant came in with a notebook and said, ¡°Boss, I have cotedst month¡¯s ounts and there was something wrong. I suspect Old Su to have reported false ounts...¡±

    Matsuo raised his eyebrow and replied, ¡°Is that so? Let me see.¡±

    The female ountant immediately sat in front of Matsuo and presented her ounts, ¡°Boss, look here, here and here...¡±

    Then, she continued with even more seriousness as she pointed to her screen, ¡°Boss, over the past month, thepany ounts was reduced by at least $30,000 and I still haven¡¯tpleted my investigation...¡±

    ¡°Xiao Lin, I will take note of this. You¡¯ve done well.¡± Matsuo interrupted her and said sternly, ¡°I will ask someone to do a thorough check on this. You keep this a secret to prevent rming them.¡±

    After feeling that she had earned the trust and recognition by her boss, she nodded her head seriously and replied, ¡°I know what to do.¡±

    Seeing her serious expression, Matsuo gave her a chilling nce and suddenly asked, ¡°Xiao Lin, I remember thatst month, I lent you a sum of money?¡±

    Xiao Lin immediately replied gratefully, ¡°Yes boss, thanks to that sum of money, I was able to tide over the difficult period. If not for your help, I wouldn¡¯t know what to do.¡±

    Matsuo suddenly said, ¡°You don¡¯t need to return me this sum of money.¡±

    At the next moment, Matsuo crossed his fingers at her. A st of grey fog emerged from Xiao Lin¡¯s body and slowly floated over and Matsuo sucked it in.

    Xiao Lin seemed to not notice the fog at all. She suddenly felt faint and clutched her head. She suddenly felt extremely tired.

    ¡°Boss... Boss...¡±

    ¡°Take the sum of money as a reward. You can rest for a week, I will investigate the matters of thepany thoroughly.¡±

    Xiao Lin felt her head getting heavier and really wanted to just lie down and take a nap. She couldn¡¯t speak further, nodded and slowly left.

    Looking at her leaving, he spoke to himself, ¡°Sorry, I wouldn¡¯t let off anyone who¡¯s going to prevent us from advancing.¡±

    He sighed and looked out of the window at the group of people. He sighed and thought, ¡°The issue regarding Meng Hao cannot be dragged on any further. Since the Chinese aren¡¯t reliable, I would have to find Japanese to do it.¡±

    Speaking about Japanese, Matsuo immediately thought of someone he knew that was powerful and was in Jiangmen City too.

    Hence, Matsuo took out his phone and dialled for Ishida.

    While looking at the ruckus caused by the crowd, Matsuo spoke on the phone, ¡°Hello, is this Ishida? I have some matters to trouble you with.¡±

    ...

    In a restaurant on the opposite street, Meng Hao was sitting there with his guys. They were drinking their beverages while looking at the crowd gathering outside thepany.

    ¡°Old Meng, you are capable. Now that we have people clogging up their entrance everyday, let¡¯s see how they are going to operate.¡±

    ¡°We all have to depend on Old Meng. Old Meng, you were so cool the other time, you ttened them all by yourself.¡±

    ¡°Old Meng, there¡¯s stories of you battling with Headless Horse. Are they real?¡±

    With the crowd continuouslyplimenting Meng Hao, he became even prouder. Recently, with the team bing more and more well-known, apostles from the university towns near theirs came on board the team too and viewed him as their leader.

    ...

    At the Kirin Cat Cafe, it was another day of work. Zhao Yao sat in his chair and yawned. Roly Poly squeezed into his embrace while squiggling around to attract his attention.

    Zhao Yao yawned and thought to himself, ¡°These damn cats, still causing so much trouble in the middle of the night and disrupting my sleep.¡±

    Even though he was angry when he was awoken, but he was happy again after looking at the panel.

    After just one night, those supercats that signed contracts with him all gained a few hundred experience points. It was a pleasant surprise.¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t think that they would be so hard working when trying to level up. If they will continue doing these, maybe I wouldn¡¯t even need to operate the Kirin Cat Cafe. I just had to stay at home the whole day to count their experience points.¡±

    As Zhao Yao was considering if he should let a few more cats out to gain experience points, his phone rang.

    ¡°Hm? An unknown number?¡± When he picked up the call, a rude tone sounded out.

    ¡°Is this Zhao Yao? You think I can¡¯t find you because you have multiple lines? When are you returning the money...¡±

    Zhao Yao ended the call immediately and thought, ¡°Nowadays, scammers are so mindless, with such a bad attitude and tone, how are they able to deceive people?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Roly Poly and the cat that was initially prancing around in his embrace became stiff. His head was tilted up and paws stiffened in mid-air. It seemed like it was paralyzed.

    Zhao Yao asked curiously, ¡°Roly Poly, why did your body be stiff?¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked Roly Poly¡¯s back and was stunned as he felt the fur that came off with each stroke. WIth a few more strokes, he realised that the fur which Roly Poly dropped were like snow.

    ¡°Roly Poly, what¡¯s wrong? Why are you dropping fur?¡±

    Roly Poly shivered as he replied, ¡°It¡¯s a little cold.¡±

    ¡°Cold? Why is it cold? We turned on the heating.¡± Zhao Yao was puzzled. He touched Roly Poly¡¯s ear and continued, ¡°Why is your heart beating so fast?¡±

    Roly Poly covered his chest and replied, ¡°I am really happy to be together with you.¡±

    He then lifted Roly Poly¡¯s ears and curiously asked, ¡°Why are your ears drooping down?¡±

    Roly Poly wheezed, ¡°Perhaps the genes of Scottish Fold within me were awaken.¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned and felt that there was something weird about Roly Poly today and thought, ¡°Maybe he is sick.¡±

    He ced Roly Poly back to his ce, touched his head and said, ¡°You rest well. If you feel any difort, inform me immediately.¡±

    As he saw the leaving Zhao Yao, his nerves slowly faded but there was still a tinge of fear.

    ¡°Damn it, I clearly used my own telephone number to register for the loan. How did they find Zhao Yao¡¯s number?¡± Roly Poly was anxious, ¡°Even though I can continue borrowing and paying back, I can¡¯t continue using Zhao Yao¡¯s identity to borrow money. If Zhao Yao finds out...¡±

    With the thought of that, Roly Poly was terrified and all his furs dropped.

    ¡°No, I need to earn back the money.¡± With that, he immediately ran to Elizabeth. At this moment, Elizabeth was in a girl¡¯s embrace while shebed her fur.

    Roly Poly shouted in the direction of Elizabeth, ¡°Elizabeth! When are we going to broadcast to earn money?¡±

    Elizabeth was in a state offort and softly replied, ¡°I have already applied for the ount. But I think we still need more practice before broadcasting.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no need!¡± Roly Poly sounded out determinedly, ¡°With me, I will ensure you that we will seed, let¡¯s quickly start the broadcast to earn money.¡±

    Although she didn¡¯t understand why Roly Poly was suddenly so enthusiastic, Elizabeth was persuaded by him. After all, Roly Poly had excellent performances recently, easily umting 29 kills, listening to noises to track enemies, killing an opponent from 800 metres out.

    ¡°Okay, then let¡¯s start the broadcast of PUBG tonight! We must be the most popr streamer...¡± Roly Poly thought for a while and ran out of the back door. He pushed open the door and saw Baiquan sitting on the floor not far from the alley. He was holding up a phone and watching some video while murmuring.

    However, Baiquan was well-conditioned now too and was not to be trifled with. When Roly Poly pushed open the door, Baiquan detected that and had already lifted his head to look at Roly Poly.

    Initially, his body was tensed up but upon seeing Roly Poly, he rxed. He still stopped his video and grinned, ¡°It¡¯s you, what¡¯s up? Why did you run out?¡±

    ¡°Meow,¡± Roly Poly purred affectionately and intimately rubbed his body against Baiquan.

    Baiquan rubbed his head and smiled, ¡°Why are you so well-behaved today? You want food?¡±

    Roly Poly immediately shook his head and rubbed his head against Baiquan¡¯s chest. His paw tapped on the phone and began typing.

    Baiquan looked at Roly Poly with surprise, ¡°You want to stream? You hope that I can help you all to advertise?¡±

    With the fast pace of development, it was faster than Roly Poly had expected.

    In afternoon, Zhao Yao¡¯s phone rang multiple times and everytime, it was someone asking for him to repay his debts.

    ¡°Zhao Yao! This is myst warning, if you continue resisting, we will send people to your door. You better think carefully...¡±

    ¡°Crazy,¡± Zhao Yao hung up. He still did not understood what was going on. After receiving a few calls, he understood bit and pieces of what was going on about the tform and matter. They were all asking him to repay his debt.

    Zhao Yao still didn¡¯t recall that he borrowed any sum of money.

    ¡°I got it wrong?¡± After so many calls, Zhao Yao decided to do a thorough check when he reached home after work to get to the bottom of this.

    At this moment, the bell at the door rang as the door was swung open. Old Man Zhuang walked in and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, we are back again. Are tonight¡¯s dishes prepared?¡±

    After settling Old Man Zhuang¡¯s matters, he cleaned up the ce and will send Xiao Shiyu back before sending the cats, Hanako and Baiquan back.

    Even though he could utilise the dimension doorway and extradimensional belly to transport him back, he still had to bring Hanako and the rest along. This would expose that he had so many cats in the extradimensional belly and Zhao Yao wasn¡¯t willing to do that.

    There was a slight jam on the road and it was already eight plus when he reached home.

    However, when he exited the lift, his eyebrows raised as he smelled and heard something unpleasant.

    When he reached the door, he discovered that the door was already opened for someone. Five burly men were sitting on the couch in the living room, eating while drinking beers.

    The beers were bought home by Hanako and the dishes were leftovers from the yesterday.

    One of them was carrying and ying with Lightning. He ced his palm on Tucson and was tugging on his skin.

    Zhao Yao squinted as he stared them.

    Hanako was enraged, ¡°Who are you? Why are you trespassing?¡±

    Baiquan stepped forward and red at them sternly.

    They were dressed in suits and ties except for arge guy. He was dressed as a normal officer worker.

    After noticing that Zhao Yao had returned, their chatter andughter while eating immediately halted. They stood up and said, ¡°I suppose you are Zhao Yao.¡±

    ¡°He he, don¡¯t pay back your debts?¡±

    The leader of the group who was a middle aged man said, ¡°Let me tell you, you have to pay back the money you owe today. It¡¯s a total of $120,000. If you don¡¯t pay us back, we will shift away whatever¡¯s in your house.¡±

    ¡°Owe money? Pay back?¡±

    While Baiquan and Hanako were startled, a ck silhouette ferociously came out from the back and with a swift movement, itnded on the chest of the burly man. It was Roly Poly and he then took a bite at his chest.

    ¡°This fellow really came over?¡± Roly Poly thought, ¡°They definitely should not have the chance to rify the matter. The one who acts first has the advantage...¡±

    The burly man shoved Roly Poly aside, ¡°Damn cat, you dare to bite me?¡±

    At the next moment, he was about tond a kick on Roly Poly. But before his leg could contact Roly Poly¡¯s belly, another leg tackled him.

    Baiquan kicked away his leg and asked coldly, ¡°Have you looked up the wrong person? There isn¡¯t anyone here who borrowed money.¡±

    Although they were here to seek repayment of debt, these professional debt collectors wouldn¡¯t actually be physical. They would just attempt to harass the other party to make it difficult for them.

    Hence, he plopped onto the sofa and shouted, ¡°Come, you want to kill me? You owe us money and still want to hit us? Carry on then! Let¡¯s see if the police will care.¡±

    The other burly men alsoy down on the sofa rascally.

    ¡°Pay back!¡±

    ¡°Yes, if you don¡¯t pay us back today, we won¡¯t leave.¡±

    ¡°He he, you owe us so much money but still live well here.¡±

    ¡°You!¡± Baiquan was anxious and angry. If the other started a fight, he would probably have retaliated. However, with their current demeanour, he did not know what to do.

    As they looked like they were about to start a conversation, Roly Poly was anxious. He immediately looked at Matcha and Elizabeth who was watching the drama unfold and shouted, ¡°Go attack!¡±

    However, Matcha, Elizabeth and Dust Ball were jolly as they continued sitting there and enjoying the drama unfold.

    Matcha licked his paw and said, ¡°What? They are dead for sure.¡±

    Dust Ball snickered, ¡°He he he, Zhao Yao¡¯s angered already. They are dead for sure.¡±

    At this moment, thuds were heard and the burly men were screaming in agony as they were sent flying out and mmed onto the ground.

    Zhao Yao was already sitting in a massage chair a distance away as he cuddled Lightning. He stared coldly at the grunting burly men and said, ¡°I don¡¯t care if you have mistakenly came to my ce. If you dare to trespass, drink my beer, eat my food and even y with my cats, you are looking for trouble.¡±

    Hanako thought to himself, ¡°Lightning is my cat...¡±

    Lightning hugged Zhao Yao¡¯s arm and whined, ¡°Zhao Yao, they forced me to y, I didn¡¯t want to. When I opened the door, they just bashed in and hugged me while lying on the sofa. I struggled and they flipped me over. Meow~ When they flipped me over, they began touching me all over.¡±

    Zhao Yao lowered his head and said coldy to Lightning, ¡°You open the door?¡±

    ¡°Yes...¡± Lightning was taken aback. He immediately stood up and jumped off Zhao Yao¡¯s knee and said, ¡°I suddenly have the urge to go to the toilet to pee.¡±

    Bam!

    Zhao Yao spreaded out his palm and Lightning was sent flying across the room by te repulsive force.

    Lightning shrieked, ¡°Zhao Yao Zhao Yao, I didn¡¯t do it intentionally. I thought you all were back so I opened the door.¡±

    Meow!

    At the next moment, with a screech, Lightning flew in the direction of the kitchen.

    Meow~

    Cries could be heard continuously from the kitchen. Roly Poly was frightened to death.

    Elizabeth couldn¡¯t help but turned her head, ¡°That¡¯s too pitiful!¡±

    Matcha shut his eyes and said, ¡°I can¡¯t look at this anymore. Zhao Yao has be more and more brutal.¡±

    Dust Ball shuddered, ¡°Zhao Yao please stop. Lightning can¡¯t take it anymore.¡±

    Even Rice Cake couldn¡¯t take it anymore and turned around.

    In the Kitchen, Lightning¡¯s body was forced into the fountain and hot water continuously struck his head. His furs were drenched and stuck onto his head. His gaze was fearful and there was continuous mourns. This shattered the bystanders¡¯ hearts.

    Roly Poly shuddered uncontrobly. As he saw Lightning being punished, he imagined himself to be undergoing the same treatment.

    The burley men stared at Zhao Yao with fear as they witnessed the scene of Lightning flying across the room.

    Zhao Yao waved his hand and the repulsive field opened again. This lifted the men in the air and with a thud, the door was shut.

    In front of a crowd, Zhao Yao would not reveal his abilities. But as his abilities became stronger by the day, it didn¡¯t matter to him that he used it in a private setting.

    It was evident that the men were witnessing powers like this for the first time. They struggled continuously as they were lifted up and were extremely frightened.

    Zhao Yao clenched his fist and the repulsive field tightened. This caused the men¡¯s bodies toe to a stand still. It was like webs covering them which didn¡¯t allow them to move a singlet bit.

    Looking at the frightened men, Zhao Yao calmly said, ¡°Tell me what¡¯s going on.¡±

    ...

    It was night time too at the lendingpany.

    Matsuo stood in front of his window as he observed the scenery in Jiangmen City.

    As a result of the incidents caused by Meng Hao and the university students, thepany¡¯s profits dropped and also received letters fromwyers. Some government agencies also wanted to conduct investigations and the shareholders were unhappy.

    His apostles couldn¡¯t handle Meng Hao as Meng Hao¡¯s power far overpowered a normal apostle¡¯s. This caused Matsuo to be tired.

    ¡°But all of these should end today,¡± Matsuo checked the time and he seemed to be waiting for someone.

    A short whileter, his phone rang and after answering the call, he grinned.

    At the foyer of the office, Meng Hao and a group of seven to eight university students stood together. Among them, two of them took part in thepetition with Meng Hao and the same ability to morph into an orc.

    There were two scars on his face and there were numerous wounds on the rest.

    Onitsuka and Hidekazu were standing behind them. They were rxed and jovial and did not seem to have any pressure.

    Meng Hao was gloomy and wanted to turn into an orc to destroy the two Japanese behind him. However, he saw the shadow beneath him and knew he couldn¡¯t.

    Defeat, a thorough and shameful defeat.

    Initially, around ten of them were gathered them as they defeated the numerous onughts by the enemies. Meng Hao felt that victory was already in their hands. The action after which was to expand and recruit more apostles.

    Even though they did not have the strongest of abilities, but they could be stronger with more abilities.

    However, the battle today destroyed all which he had achieved thus far.

    Facing the man who could integrate into a shadow, he could not put up any resistance.

    ¡°But the good thing is that Zhao Xue managed to escape.¡±

    ¡°Move, move,¡± Onitsuka shoved Meng Hao and said, ¡°Go in. Talk to him and stop trying to spark a conflict.¡±

    Meng Hao clenched his teeth and could only lower his head.

    The line of people walked in front of Onitsuka and Hidekazu and they looked like they were abducted.

    But everyone knew that if Meng Hao and the rest did anything else, the man with the shadow ability would not let them off.

    On the street opposite the lendingpany, Zhao Xue was hiding on the roof of a small building with stealth as she watched a line of people entering the office.

    She was only able to escape Ishida¡¯s attack with the use of her stealth ability.

    She did not continue with the battle as after she engaged her opponent for a short while, she understood that it was unlikely for her to emerge victorious.

    It wasn¡¯t because of a gap between their skill levels. After all, among all the apostles, there wasn¡¯t actually a difference skill levels as everyone had different abilities which were all unique.

    She wasn¡¯t able to emerge victorious as her attacks were ineffective against her opponent.

    After Ishida integrated into a shadow, all forms of physical attacks wouldn¡¯t work against him. Although Zhao Xue had superb physical abilities, they were essentially useless against the opponent.

    As she remembered the wisdom King George imparted to her which was that when she faced an opponent who was ineffective to her ability, escape.

    However, she did not actually escape. Instead, she used her stealth and physical attributes to tail the opponent and tracked where they were going.

    Although she couldn¡¯t directly confront him, but once he returned to his physical form, Zhao Xue could use her abilities to sneakily attack him.

    As she constantly reminded herself of King George¡¯s teachings, she softlynded on the ground level like a cat after she left the roof. With a few quick manoeuvres, she dashed towards the lendingpany whilst being invisible.

    At the door to the office, ck Panther brought along seven to eight rustic looking guys as they walked with jitterily towards the office.

    There were young and old around him. The young people looked like they were still students while the aged already had greying temples and wrinkled skin.

    They all arrived from Zha Pian Province a few days ago and were from the same vige as ck Panther. They were here to find employment too.

    A youth asked, ¡°Brother ck Panther, is there really no interest when you borrow money here?¡±

    ¡°Of course,¡± ck Panther shouted, ¡°Let me tell you, I know the manager here. They don¡¯t lend us with interests. When we get the money, we try our best to survive and we will all try our best at our jobs and do well here. Next year will be a good year.¡±

    As they heard ¡®jobs¡¯ and ¡®do well¡¯, glimmers of hopes shed across the people¡¯s eyes. They were extremely poor and were afraid of poverty. With ck Panther¡¯s encouragement, they plucked up their courage to leave their hometown in hopes of changing their conditions back home.

    However, the travel fees and expenses on food these past few days had already used up most of their money. Hence, they listened to ck Panther and came here to borrow money before working to pay off their debts.

    When the group found Xiao Ming, they exined their scenario to him.

    ck Panther smiled and said, ¡°Brother, this is fate. I¡¯ve already found your familiar the previous time. I went back and finally remembered.¡± He patted Xiao Ming on the shoulders and said intimately, ¡°You forgotten? Chuan Xiao District, ck Panther!¡±

    Xiao Ming was taken aback for a moment and thought for a moment. He really didn¡¯t recognise him previously. After all, when he was in Chuan Xiao District, most of the time was spent in Hope Elementary School and did not see much of ck Panther and the apostles.

    ck Panther said with a tinge of embarrassment, ¡°Brother, you look at these people. They are all here to borrow a little bit of money as their living expenses. They are all honest and hardworking people. Once they have earned from their jobs, they will pay the debts.¡±

    Xiao Ming raised his eyebrow. The memory of Chuan Xiao District was etched deep in his mind. He then nodded his head, ¡°Okay. you all fill up your particrs first then.¡±

    In the office, only they were settling the administrative details as it was already after office hours.

    While they werepleting the proceedings, a girl suddenly appeared. She looked at ck Panther and said, ¡°Don¡¯t borrow money from here. They are loan sharks. There were already incidents of peoplemiting suicide from not being able to repay loans.¡±

    Xiao Ming was enraged, ¡°Miss, we are doing legitimate business here and we don¡¯t use violence to ask our clients to repay loans.¡±

    Zhao Xue took a nce at him and didn¡¯t have anything to say. He looked at ck Panther and said, ¡°Anyway I have told you that they are loan sharks. If you still intend to borrow from them, it¡¯s your business.¡± She turned and left. ck Panther wanted to chase her to ask her more questions. But when he turned, she had already disappeared.

    She saw the pitiful state of the poor and honest people and that¡¯s why she came forward to notify them. After she had done that, she became invisible again and went back to tailing Meng Hao and the rest.

    She followed them into the office and there was already a middle-aged man waiting for them.

    Meng Hao and the rest walked into the meeting room under the watchful eyes of Onitsuka and Hidekazu and sat in the chairs.

    Matsuo looked at the people and smiled slightly, ¡°Mr. Meng Hao, we finally meet.¡±

    Meng Hao gloomily stared at Matsuo and coldly spoke, ¡°What do you want?¡±

    Matsuo replied, ¡°He he, nothing much. I just think that there¡¯s a misunderstanding and I want to chat about it.¡±

    ¡°Hm, misunderstanding?¡± Meng Hao continued coldly, ¡°There¡¯s no misunderstanding. I admit defeat today. Just do what you want to do. But if you think that just because you¡¯ve won today, you can suppress me forever and ept your conditions , that¡¯s impossible.¡±

    ¡°He he, you don¡¯t need to be so nervous.¡± Matsuo casually walked over. But in an instant, he became violent and pressed onto Meng Hao¡¯s head and mmed it on the table. He whispered into Meng Hao¡¯s ear with hostility and rage.

    ¡°Who do you think you are speaking to?¡± Matsuo looked at him ferociously. ¡°You gather your apostles, you have some money at home and you want to be a hero. I won¡¯t care about you. But now you are blocking my path, if you don¡¯t scram, I will kill your entire family.¡±

    Meng Hao swallowed his saliva. He didn¡¯t know why even though the person of him was an ordinary guy. His aura suppressed him which lead him to feeling ufortable and angry. However, he didn¡¯t dare to do anything.

    Matsuo released his head and adjusted his suit. He then changed his tone and said, ¡°Okay, let¡¯s speak about what to do next.¡±

    At this moment, with a few thuds, two ck streaks appeared from the shadow at the door. Theytched onto the doors and shut them.

    Matsuo frowned, ¡°What happened?¡±

    A Japanese voice sounded out from the shadows beneath their feet.

    ¡°Chasing away pests.¡± Once Ishidapleted his sentence, a chair was shot in the air, lifted by the the sharp streak. It blocked out the light hanging on the ceiling.

    At that moment, shadows covered more than half the office.

    Darkness loomed over the office.

    Countless shadow spikes emerged from its depths, all pointing towards the same target.

    Zhao Xue.

    She knew she had to flee quickly. She darted forward and easily broke through the locked door with her shoulder.

    Ishida narrowed his eyes. ¡°Looks like I was right.¡±

    He had witnessed the girl¡¯s little disappearing act. His first thought was that she turned invisible so that she would worm her way out undetected. However, there was a little voice in his head that whispered that she was up to something else.

    The unsightly hole in the door proved that she had indeed been following them.

    ¡°How...gant,¡± he mocked, ¡°But let¡¯s see how far your courage can get you.¡±

    The shadows on the floor snaked forward, heading in Zhao Xue¡¯s direction.

    She could sense them before she saw them.

    When she turned her head, she was met with the sight of shadow spears slicing through the air, hoping to hit and locate her.

    Ishida leaped from shadow to shadow, closing the distance between himself and his target. He might not be able to see her, but his spears would be able to pierce her. Theybed the long corridor, weaving through the air gracefully.

    From a distance, it would look like the entire building was being swallowed by darkness.

    Zhao Xue willed her legs to carry her forward faster.

    She knew that her opponent was at an advantage here. Shadows were created when an object blocks light. In here, there was an endless number of surfaces, corners, and things that could generate shadow after shadow.

    ¡°I have to take the fight outside,¡± she thought, brows stitched together in determination.

    Just as she was about to formte a n, a gentle swoosh sounded above her.

    The fire sprinklers had been activated.

    Zhao Xue paled as jets of water rained on her.

    She brought a foot down on the floor with rming strength, propelling her body dozens of meters forward with a loud boom.

    She had been moving noiselessly because she hoped to remain undetected.

    Unfortunately, she knew she was very much visible. The water showers had outlined her figure for the world to see.

    Her invisibility had been rendered useless.

    ¡°Gotcha!¡± Ishida chuckled darkly.

    There was a flower pot by Zhao Xue. It cast a small shadow that was right next to her. He jumped right in,unching a handful of spikes towards her shoulder.

    *

    Matsuo lifted his hand from the mouse.

    He nced at theputer screen and said, ¡°I¡¯ve activated the entire sprinkler system. Is that all you need?¡±

    Onitsuka and Sato nodded gleefully from next to him.

    ¡°You can control the entire building¡¯s sprinklers from here? How convenient. And yes, this is enough. The only reason Lord Ishida could not catch that girl was because she was invisible. Now, he would have no problem finishing her.¡±

    With their eyes on the screen, no one noticed the venomous look that shed past Meng Hao¡¯s eyes.

    He knew that this was his chance.

    The muscles on the back of his hands began bulging and heaving, as if something was trying to nudge its way out. Coarse, dark hair started to rise from the surface of his skin.

    The shadow man could take him down, but he was no longer here now.

    *

    There was another boom.

    This time, Zhao Xue had knocked down an officepartment. She fell into the room and swiftly rolled under arge table.

    She raised her head to see ck Panther gaping dumbly at her.

    ¡°You!¡± he eximed, ¡°Aren¡¯t you the...¡±

    He could see her because she was no longer invisible. Being invisible took energy. Now that the sprinklers could give her location away, continuing to conceal herself would just be a waste of that energy. The effort would be better spent on getting away.

    Zhao Xue had no intention of fighting back either. There was no way she could attack some shadow monster that she could not even touch.

    Before ck Panther couldplete this sentence, the dark shadows had materialized in a corner of the room.

    ¡°I told you... You can¡¯t get away.¡±

    There was a heavy swoop as dozens of shadow spikes rained on Zhao Xue, ck Panther, and the other people in the room.

    ¡°Move!¡± Zhao Xue shouted, grabbing ck Panther by the cor as she jumped out of the way.

    The spikes impaled the table they had hidden under, hacking it into pieces.

    They had narrowly missed their target, but they wasted no time in seeking them out again.

    ¡°S**t!¡± ck Panther cried in rm.

    Zhao Xue was about tounch into another jump when the scene before her changed.

    All of a sudden, she was in another room. Her finger was still hooked tightly around ck Panther¡¯s cor.

    A man was standing before them. His back was against them, but she could see that he was dressed in a fine suit.

    ¡°What happened?¡± Zhao Xue asked, taking in the new surroundings with wide eyes.

    She watched in horror as ck Panther struck the man with a karate chop.

    The man hissed and fell forward from the impact. He twisted his head around to look at ck Panther.

    ¡°What is wrong with you?¡± he asked, his face contorted in pain.

    ck Panther immediately helped Xiao Ming up, rubbing his lower back apologetically.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, brother. Someone¡¯s after us. We¡¯ve got no choice.¡±

    As if on cue, a barrage of shadow spikes burst through the walls. It seemed that the duo did not manage to get too far from their previous location.

    ck Panther gulped.

    ¡°We¡¯ve got to go!¡± he eximed.

    He grabbed Zhao Xue¡¯s shoulder and they vanished.

    Xiao Ming¡¯s mouth fell open. He watched in stunned silence as the lethal shadows disappeared as well.

    ¡°What the heck?¡± he muttered.

    He could recognize that what he saw was a battle between apostles. He had no intention to stay and get caught up with the rest of it. He knew very well how dangerous that could get.

    He rubbed his back as he made his way out of the room.

    ¡°Boy, was he strong. I feel like my kidneys might be hurt.¡±

    That thought had barely crossed Xiao Ming¡¯s mind when he heard a gentle thump. He could feel that someone had appeared behind him.

    He was proven right when an overwhelming force assaulted his lower back once more.

    His mouth fell open in a silent cry. He snapped around to point an usatory finger at his attackers, who turned out to be ck Panther and Zhao Xue. Again.

    They both looked sincerely sorry.

    ¡°Have I offended you somehow?¡± Xiao Ming asked in despair.

    ck Panther rubbed the top of his head. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, bro. It¡¯s a bad habit. I suggest you put on a jacket. I¡¯ll try not to strike you in the lower back next time.¡±

    ¡°What...¡±

    Xiao Ming¡¯s words were cut off by a familiar boom. The shadows were back again. This time, they had blown up a hole in the ceiling.

    When he turned back to ck Panther and Zhao Xue, they were gone.

    ck Panther kept a firm grip on Zhao Xue¡¯s shoulder. This allowed him to teleport both himself and her to his nearest bro. If there was no bro to be found in the immediate area, they would have to run until they found one. Then, he could teleport to the next.

    Thankfully, there was no shortage of them tonight. He had led many of his sworn brothers here to make loans.

    With the fire sprinklers turned on, they had dispersed around the building, hoping to find a good spot to avoid the waterworks.

    ck Panther turned to Zhao Xue. ¡°Lady, thank you for warning us about this ce. A while after you left, some guys came in, shouting about how the high-interest rates destroyed lives. If it weren¡¯t for you, I could¡¯ve ruined my brothers¡¯ lives too.¡±

    Zhao Xue was only half-listening to this. She was still trying to make sense of the man¡¯s interesting power.

    ¡°Are you an apostle too?¡± she asked.

    ¡°Yeah,¡± he responded casually.

    He spotted the shadow spikes creeping into the far end of the room. A heavy expression settled on his face.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry,dy. I, ck Panther, have made it this far because I¡¯m a loyal bro. You¡¯ve helped us today. In return, I¡¯ll make sure you¡¯ll leave this ce unharmed.¡±

    ck Panther had barely punctuated his sentence when they were interrupted by a deafening explosion.

    A whirlwind of shadows had torpedoed through the wall, reducing it to crumbs and dust. The tornado of shadow spikes closed in on them, growingrger as it got nearer.

    Ishida¡¯s voice came from within the ck mass.

    ¡°You little rats are really beginning to piss me off.¡±

    ck Panther knew they had to flee from the iing onught.

    He gripped Zhao Xue¡¯s shoulder, ready to go. However, he found that he could not teleport.

    There was no brother near enough for him to teleport to.

    This was the unfortunate limitation of his power. He could only teleport within a 10-meter radius of a brother (whom he had to first karate chop in the back). If he was any further than that, he would be unable to activate the skill.

    ck Panther gantly stepped in front of Zhao Xue, blocking her from the shadows.

    ¡°Go now.¡±

    In the next moment, he was thrown off his feet and into a corner.

    This was not a doing of the shadows. Instead, the force hade from behind him.

    He watched as Zhao Xue waved a hand at arge office table. With another wave, it was lifted off the ground and hurled towards the shadow spikes, slowing them down.

    She continued throwing whatever she could reach towards the shadows, among them more tables, safe deposit boxes, andputers.

    The spikes pierced through each of them mercilessly.

    While Zhao Xue could not hurt the shadows, she could keep them at bay.

    It was obvious that the tireless training paid off. Her strength and speed far surpassed that of a normal person¡¯s. In fact, she might even be stronger than Zhao Yao.

    Now that the Sphynx had leveled up, Zhao Xue would no doubt outdo the Butcher in another month or two.

    This was why she could keep throwing heavy items across the room, creating a barrier between the shadows and herself.

    However, even if she could go on all night, she would soon run out of things to chuck.

    They had to leave.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Zhao Xue hissed, gripping ck Panther¡¯s arm.

    She pulled him along as they raced out of the room.

    ck Panther was in shock. They were moving so quickly that the surroundings had dissolved into shapeless blobs of color.

    ¡°You¡¯re fast!¡± he eximed.

    He had no idea how someone so dainty could possess such great power.

    The shadow mass erupted into a roar.

    More spikes peeled themselves from it, piercing through the cloud of furniture that blocked their way and heading straight for Zhao Xue and ck Panther.

    The gap between them grew smaller and smaller.

    Then, the duo vanished.

    They had finally managed to enter the radius of a nearby brother.

    The ck mass let out another roar, this one brimming with unadulterated rage.

    The little rats had escaped again, leaving behind a flurry of destroyed tables,puters, and printers.

    *

    At Zhao Yao¡¯s house, the debt collectors were kneeling on the floor.

    They had just given an honest ount of what led them here.

    Zhao Yao listened to their story intently, scratching the bottom of his chin out of habit.

    ¡°This doesn¡¯t make sense,¡± he said, ¡°I have never borrowed money from your tform before. I have no need for it.¡±

    The men started rambling nervously under his cold nce.

    ¡°Please, we¡¯re not lying! Everything we told you was listed in the information handed to us.¡±

    Roly Poly leaped into Zhao Yao¡¯s arms.

    He said, ¡°Zhao Yao, this must be a misunderstanding. Maybe the person who owes them money has the same name as you.¡±

    Matcha shook his head sagely. ¡°Even if they had the same name, they can¡¯t possibly have the same address or appearance.¡±

    Roly Poly gulped. He was clutching at straws now. ¡°Well...Maybe...Perhaps they got the address wrong?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s too much of a coincidence, don¡¯t you think?¡± Matcha said, ¡°Unless...¡±

    ¡°Unless someone framed Zhao Yao!¡± Roly Poly interrupted loudly.

    He was sweating buckets by now.

    ¡°Maybe someone stole Zhao Yao¡¯s identity to borrow money from the app! Maybe that horrible thief squandered it on online games, fried chicken, and even on thedies...¡±

    The poor cat was experiencing a bout of word vomit. He was terrified. The only way to vent his fear was to keep talking.

    He fell silent when Zhao Yao got onto his feet.

    ¡°That¡¯s possible.¡±

    He turned to the men, ¡°Do you know when the money was borrowed? Do you have the person¡¯s contact details?¡±

    Every hair on Roly Poly¡¯s body stood on its end in response.

    ¡°This information is stored in the office. We don¡¯t have it with us,¡± one of the men answered.

    Roly Poly heaved a sigh of relief when Zhao Yao suggested, ¡°Then we¡¯ll go to your office right now.¡±

    The cat choked on his breath.

    ¡°It is despicable that someone would use my good name to do such a thing,¡± Zhao Yao continued darkly.

    He was radiating a lethal aura that seemed to cause the temperature in the living room to dip. The cats and debt collectors around him start shivering involuntarily.

    ¡°When I find that person, I will tear him limb from limb...¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s legs gave way and he flopped onto the floor.

    ¡°Then gauge his eyeballs...¡±

    Roly Poly mustered all that remained of his strength to get back up. He was shaking visibly, which caught Dust Ball¡¯s attention.

    ¡°Roly Poly, why has your hair turned white?¡± she asked, eyes widened in shock.

    ¡°Cut his tongue...¡±

    Pee had begun to pool around Roly Poly¡¯s paws.

    ¡°And chop him into a million pieces!¡±

    Roly Poly ced both paws on his heart, which was thumping really hard against his chest, and fainted.

    ¡°Hm? Roly Poly, are you alright?¡±

    Zhao Yao squatted next to the unconscious cat, gently probing him.

    ¡°Why have you fainted? I wanted to take you with me to catch that the identity thief, but perhaps you should stay home and rest.¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s eyes flew open.

    ¡°No!¡± he eximed, ¡°We cannot let such scumbags off easily! Zhao Yao, I want to go with you!¡±

    A few minutester, the debt collectors were ushered into Zhao Yao¡¯s car. Roly Poly sat by his owner¡¯s feet, using his power to keep the Panamera invisible as they raced towards the city.

    *

    The violent clicking and cking of aputer keyboard echoed from the money lending app¡¯s IT department.

    That would have been normal if not for the fact that the engineers were passed out on the floor.

    Noodle¡¯s head appeared from behind the department¡¯s office entrance. He scanned the empty corridor, keeping a careful lookout for intruders.

    Naturally, the person he was keeping watch for was Xiao Yu, whom was the source of the noise.

    It was impossible to tell that the person hunched over theputer was her though. She was dressed entirely in ck. A ck stocking was pulled over her head, contorting her facial featurespletely.

    Fish Ball was secured to the top of her head like a furry hat. His limbs had been bound together, paws facing the front, producing a mighty beam of light that enabled Xiao Yu to see in the dark.

    The look on her face was so focused and severe that Fish Ball had not dared to make a sound.

    However, he was getting really ufortable.

    ¡°Nekomata,¡± he said softly, ¡°Could you help me speak to Xiao Yu? Actually, I...¡±

    ¡°Quit meowing. It¡¯s affecting the brightness,¡± Xiao Yu interrupted coldly, ¡°Starting today, you¡¯re nothing more than a shlight.¡±

    Fish Ball mped his jaw together immediately and nodded.

    He could not speak, but he could stillmunicate through other means.

    He tried to catch Nekomata¡¯s eye.

    ¡°Supercats should help other supercats, don¡¯t you think?¡± he said telepathically, ¡°Won¡¯t you help me talk some sense to Xiao Yu?¡±

    Nekomata let out a low chuckle. He was currently in spirit form, hovering a couple of meters above the ground, observing everything beneath him.

    Ever since Xiao Yu found out that Fish Ball had used her identity to borrow money, she stopped treating him as a pet. His status had been reduced to nothing more than a breathing shlight.

    Xiao Yu pursed her lips when another ruckus could be heard.

    ¡°First, the sprinklerse on. Then, the entire building shakes. Now, it¡¯s something else. There¡¯s no peace in this ce.¡±

    She was in an understandably bad mood.

    ¡°What kind of stupidpany agrees to loan money to an underaged girl? What kind of corrupt business is this?¡± she whined, mming the keyboard.

    ¡°Not the C drive. Not the D drive. Where could the loan records be?!¡±

    Xiao Yu¡¯s understanding of systems was typical of a 12-year-old¡¯s, which was to say that she knew close to nothing at all. Servers and databases were alien concepts that were unheard of.

    Naturally, she was unable to find her profile and remove the loans made in her name.

    She looked away from the screen and towards the illuminated server room. An idea sprouted in her head.

    ¡°I can just destroy all theputers here. Then my records will be gone too.¡±

    It made so much sense to her that she did not hesitate to put it into action.

    Thick, ck smoke surrounded her as she lifted into the air. Her shirt billowed like a sail in the wind.

    Her face had turned a pallid shade of white. Her eyes cast an eerie glow as they turned to theputer desk. It started shaking violently and it was not long before the desks surrounding it began vibrating as well.

    Oneputer flew towards a wall and was instantly smashed to smithereens. Two more met the same fate. Then another.

    ¡°I hope this isn¡¯t illegal. Zhao Yao said that even the government has apostles. They wouldn¡¯t be sent after me, would they?¡± she pondered briefly.

    In the midst of Xiao Yu¡¯s mass destruction, Noodle began barking.

    He raced towards her.

    ¡°Xiao Yu! Someone¡¯sing!¡±

    Barking was not anguage she was fluent in, but the husky¡¯s panicked behavior spoke volumes. There was troubleing.

    Xiao Yu got to work immediately. She levitated both Noodle and Fish Ball, raising them into the air so that they had their backs pressed against the ceiling.

    ¡°Oh no, who could it be?¡± she thought anxiously.

    Her question was answered when two figures darted into the office at lightning speed.

    Xiao Yu¡¯s eyes grew wide as marbles. ¡°They move quickly. Really quickly.¡±

    Now that the two figures were standing still, she could start to make out their appearance. She had no clue who the ck Panther was, but she recognized Zhao Xue right away. They were rtives after all.

    Xiao Yu grinned as she descended from the ceiling, wondering if her niece owed money as well.

    ¡°Zhao Xue,¡± she called out as she reached eye level, ¡°What are you doing here?¡±

    ¡°Ah!!!¡±

    ck Panther and Zhao Xue let out a terrified scream, the former¡¯s slightly shriller than thetter¡¯s.

    Xiao Yu¡¯s sudden appearance was shocking, but her physical appearance was just downright frightening. Waves of ck smoke continued to billow around her. Her skin lookedpletely bloodless. Worse, that darn stocking was still on her face.

    Xiao Yu rolled her eyes, then whipped the stocking off with one quick pull.

    ¡°It¡¯s me,¡± she announced.

    While she was recognizable now, she was not any less frightening.

    Her face was as nched as the rest of her body and there was an eerie glow dancing in her eyes.

    ck Panther took one look at her and copsed on the floor.

    He had fainted.

    Zhao Xue was still screaming. She threw a punch at the ghost, not holding any of her strength back. It caused visible ripples in the air that simply went through Xiao Yu¡¯s body, hitting the tables and chairs behind her instead. The furniture flew against the wall and broke into pieces.

    Xiao Yu let out a heavy sigh. She turned to Zhao Xue and looked at her seriously.

    ¡°Xue, take a good look at me. It¡¯s your aunt, Xiao Yu.¡±

    Zhao Xue allowed herself one nce at the horrible apparition. She blinked a few times and her furrowed brows rxed.

    ¡°You¡¯re...you¡¯re Aunt Xiao Yu? You¡¯ve died? What has thispany done to you?! Look at that vengeful aura radiating off you! You must have died a horrific death!¡±

    Xiao Yu refrained from rolling her eyes once more.

    ¡°I¡¯m not dead!¡± she eximed, ¡°This is a superpower. I¡¯m sure you¡¯re familiar with them because what you did just now was far from normal. You have powers too, right?¡±

    The girls had barely begun chatting when Ishida caught up. Countless shadow spikes pelted against the door, blowing it up.

    ¡°Little rats, I¡¯ve got you n- Ah!!!¡±

    His eyesnded immediately on Xiao Yu, whom was still floating a few inches off the ground, looking very much like a ghost.

    A frightened shriek erupted from the shadows before they vanished.

    ¡°And who¡¯s that?¡± Xiao Yu asked, quirking an eyebrow.

    Zhao Xue let out a painedugh. ¡°He works for the P2P tform. He¡¯s a very powerful apostle.¡±

    She thenunched into the story of how they ended up here.

    Xiao Yu listened to it intently, nodding vehemently when Zhao Xue was done.

    ¡°Thispany is evil. Destroying theirputers is really an act of justice, don¡¯t you agree?¡± she asked.

    ¡°I guess?¡± Zhao Xue responded uncertainly, ¡°Whatever it is, we¡¯ve got to leave now. That shadow man is not easy to deal with. We should go when he still believes that he saw a ghost.¡±

    Unfortunately, Ishida came to his senses a lot more quickly than she expected.

    He had fled instinctively. He had never seen a ghost before after all.

    However, as he moved further away from the IT department, he realized that it was a lot more likely that what he saw was a superpower, not the supernatural.

    He jumped to a shadow that was just by the entrance, eavesdropping on the girls¡¯ conversation.

    He knew it was time to strike when Zhao Xue proposed that they leave.

    He was swift. He leaped from the outside to the shadow cast by an office table, the one behind aputer, by the corner of the desk, then finally to Zhao Xue and ck Panther¡¯s shadows.

    With each jump, he closed the distance between them and raised new armies of spikes, darkening the ceiling with their presence.

    Zhao Xue¡¯s first thought was to drag the two of them by the cor and run. However, it seemed that her aunt had other ideas.

    Xiao Yu looked at the shadow spikes intently, determination shining in her eyes. Wordlessly, she worked with Nekomata to conjure shapeless poltergeists. They rushed forward andssoed the spikes tightly, crushing them into bits.

    Nekomata¡¯s poltergeists were capable of wrecking some serious havoc. They were strong enough to twist metal into a braid, so destroying mere shadows was not much of an issue.

    The barrage of spikes was broken into pieces when they got too close, as if an invisible shield was protecting them.

    Unfortunately, the fun had barely begun for Ishida.

    The room was brimming with shadows, both big and small. Every time he sprung to a new one, he could harness its darkness to create more shadow spikes.

    While in spirit mode, Xiao Yu was incorporeal, so the spikes could not hurt her. They went right through her.

    Unfortunately, both Zhao Xue and ck Panther were very much solid and vulnerable, so she had to continue protecting them with her poltergeists.

    At the same time, she wanted to fight back. She directed some of her poltergeists to obliterate the furniture that cast the shadow Ishida was in. While destroying the source also destroyed the shadow, that did not inflict any damage on the apostle.

    Panic was starting to w up Zhao Xue and ck Panther¡¯s throats.

    They were cornered.

    Xiao Yu could crush the spikes, but she could not stop Ishida from inching closer to them.

    With each leap, he got one step nearer to his targets. It was only a matter of time before he infiltrated the shadows on their bodies.

    By now, ck Panther had woken. However, without any of his bros within range, he was helpless.

    Spikes were emerging from the shadows beneath their chins, necks, and even the sleeves of their shirts. Xiao Yu was destroying them as quickly as she could, but some still managed to nick Zhao Xue and ck Panther, slicing their skin.

    ¡°Darn it. As long as there¡¯s a shadow, he can reach it.¡±

    That was an urate assessment.

    It was also why Ishida¡¯s skill was so powerful. There was no ce in the world that did not have shadows. Even in the middle of the day, when the sun shines overhead, shadows creep are cast from a person¡¯s back, wrists, and even underarms.

    ¡°Shadows...¡±

    ¡°Shadows...¡±

    ¡°Shadows...¡±

    Xiao Yu was thinking hard. Zhao Xue and ck Panther were in serious danger and it was up to her to save them.

    As she repeated the word, an idea popped into her head.

    A bright idea at that, both literally and metaphorically.

    She raised both hands to her head and lifted Fish Ball into the air.

 Chapter 393: Light and Shadow

    <h4>Chapter 393: Light and Shadow</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Ishida stared at the girl.

    She had lifted a cat into the air as if it was baby Simba in The Lion King.

    He had no clue what she was up to.

    The answer was provided shortly when a flood of light burst from the cat¡¯s body.

    Hallelujah!

    You could almost hear the sweet sounds of angels singing in the background as the darkened room was illuminated instantly, driving the shadows away. The shadow spikes that hovered in the air dissolved into dust.

    ¡± Bakayaro ,¡± Ishida hissed under his breath.

    He sent the remaining spikes in the direction of the little rats.

    ¡°Did you think that light is enough to stop me?¡±

    To their surprise, the spikes did not ram into them. Instead, they made a sudden left turn and headed for the desks and chairs that were strewn around the office. The spikes scooped them into the air and formed a wall of furniture that blocked Fish Ball¡¯s light.

    Once again, the room descended into darkness. This time, however, the blinding light bounced off the surface of the furniture, casting ten times more shadows around the room than before.

    ¡°The stronger the light, the stronger the shadow!¡± Ishida¡¯sughed maniacally, ¡°Light and shadow are two sides of the same coin. You¡¯ve just sealed your own fate.¡±

    Xiao Yu chuckled darkly at his words. She pulled Fish Ball¡¯s glued limbs apart, setting him free from the awful ss cement.

    The cat got up on his hind legs in one swift motion. He raised one paw to the ceiling and stuck one towards the ground, hips popped like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever.

    Fish Ball meowed at the shadows. It meant, ¡°Who gave you permission to slight the power of the sun, bastard?¡±

    With that, he amped up the power.

    Fish Ball¡¯s entire body lit up like a disco ball, sending shing lights spinning around the room in a flurry.

    Now that the light source was moving, the shadows started moving as well. They shifted from one location to another rapidly. One moment, they would be on the ceiling. The next, they would be on the floor. Then, they would be somewhere in the middle.

    Ishida was right. Light and shadow were two sides of the same coin. When the light changed, the shadow had to too.

    That meant that he was in for a rough time.

    Since Ishida was submerged in a shadow, he was sent flying around the room as the lights danced across it. He was flung from one ce to another mercilessly, as if he was on the world¡¯s most intense and least fun roller coaster.

    The integrity of shadow spikes was affected as well. They drew their strength from their source shadows, which kept changing positions and sometimes disappeared altogether. It did not take long for the spikes to fall apart.

    Ishida was falling apart as well, at least emotionally. He was being tossed across so quickly that he was left disoriented and unbelievably nauseous.

    The vomit that emerged from one of the shadows was a testament to that.

    ¡°Stop! Stop right now!¡± he yelled.

    Xiao Yu held onto Fish Ball and shouted, ¡°Do not stop! Go brighter, faster!¡±

    Fish Ball chuckled self-indulgently. He looked very pleased with himself at the moment, a far cry from the pathetic figure he cut just minutes ago.

    ¡°That was just the sampler,¡± Fish Ball said, ¡°Now, it¡¯s time for him to have a taste of my Ultimate Light of Divinity and Justice!¡±

    There was a hum in the air as Fish Ball seemed to explode with light that flitted and darted across the office with rming crity. It would dim, brighten, and change directions dozens of times each second, causing the room to spin.

    It caused a headache for anyone watching and meant a lot worse for Ishida.

    His was being teleported from one shadow to another dozens of times in a second. It was too much for his body and mind to handle. He was getting dangerously disoriented and was starting to lose his grip on reality.

    It felt very much like being a sock in a washing machine that spun at the speed of light.

    Ishida threw himself out of the shadows. He copsed onto the floor, where he started vomiting down his front.

    The puking only stopped when Zhao Xue rushed forward and struck him in the head.

    He fell into his own pool of vomit, unconscious.

    Zhao Xue shot him a look of disgust.

    ck Panther stopped next to her, studying Ishida curiously.

    ¡°So this is the guy who has been trying to kill us? Why don¡¯t we just finish him now?¡± he suggested, pulling a small knife from his pocket.

    Fish Ball had stopped emitting light by now. He was clearly exhausted. He had copsed on his belly on top of Xiao Yu¡¯s head.

    ¡°I can¡¯t anymore. I¡¯ve run out of power.¡±

    He nudged his face against Xiao Yu¡¯s lovingly.

    ¡°Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu,¡± he meowed, ¡°I¡¯ve been useful, haven¡¯t I? Nekomata, help me talk to her.¡±

    Nekomata had the ability tomunicate with a person telepathically.

    However, he did not want to put his power to use right now. Instead of asking for mercy on Fish Ball¡¯s behalf, he simply smiled at him and said, ¡°Hang in there. Xiao Yu is still pretty furious with you right now. Be a well-behaved and sturdy shlight and she will forgive you one day.¡±

    ¡°Fine,¡± FIsh Ball grumbled.

    He let out a deep sigh, then willed himself to remain positive. With a determined nod, he held onto Xiao Yu¡¯s head and let out two beams of light from his eyes, morphing into her personal shlight once more.

    Xiao Yu stopped next to Ishida¡¯s unmoving body and kicked him.

    ¡°This guy is trouble. Even if we tie him up, he¡¯ll be able to jump into a shadow and escape.¡±

    As the trio deliberated over what they should do next, their surroundings started to change. The temperature was dipping. It was a steady drop that did not stop. It reached the point that when Zhao Xue exhaled, her breath came out as a white fog.

    ¡°Wait, something¡¯s happening.¡±

    ck Panther wrapped his arms around his body. ¡°It¡¯s gotten a lot colder.¡±

    Their conversation was interrupted by the pitter patter of footsteps from a distance. All of them turned their heads towards the sound. They could make out therge figure of a man hurtling towards them clumsily.

    Meng Hao let out a yelp of pain as he tripped and crashed into the ground.

    He was in beast mode. Even though that meant that he was far stronger, swifter, and sturdier than any human, perhaps even Zhao Xue, he was severely injured. Blood stains marred his body. The exposed skin on his arms and back were bruised.

    He lifted his head and looked into Zhao Xue¡¯s eyes.

    His lips trembled as he spoke, ¡°Run...run now!¡±

    Zhao Xue had seen what Meng Hao looked like as a half-beast before. She recognized him and immediately helped him up.

    ¡°Meng Hao, what happened?¡±

    He just shook his head. ¡°Just go, quickly! He¡¯sing!¡±

    ¡°Who¡¯sing?¡± Zhao Xue asked, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, Meng Hao. We¡¯ve defeated the shadow man. We¡¯re powerful. We can protect ourselves.¡±

    She had hoped tofort him, but he was not listening.

    ¡°Not shadows. It¡¯s the devil. He¡¯sing for us. You¡¯ve got to go,¡± he repeated.

    He tried to push her away.

    Xiao Yu pursed her lips. ¡°This guy¡¯s a bit of a wuss.¡±

    The moment she said that, more footsteps could be heard echoing from the darkness. The temperature in the room seemed to have dropped again. ck Panther shivered from the cold.

    Meng Hao was trying to wring Zhao Xue¡¯s hands off now.

    ¡°He¡¯sing. The devil ising! Go! You have to go!¡±

    She blinked at him but did not make a move.

    This angered him.

    ¡°You will regret it. All of you! He¡¯ll kill each and every one of you!¡±

    ¡°Shut up,¡± Xiao Yu said, waving a hand in the air.

    She used her phantom power to mp his lips together.

    Then, she turned her head to the source of the footsteps.

    ¡°It¡¯sing.¡±

    As the sounds grew louder, the lights in the room seemed to dim and dull. Each thump caused a lightbulb in the ceiling to shatter and the room eventually descended into darkness once more.

    Soon, the only light came from Fish Ball.

 Chapter 394: Spirits

    <h4>Chapter 394: Spirits</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    One year ago, a month after the awakening.

    Tokyo, Japan.

    Late night.

    Matsuo¡¯s eyelids fluttered open.

    He wanted very much to go back to sleep, but his dder could not be put on hold much longer. He sat up begrudgingly, then swung his legs to the floor.

    As he got to his feet, he heard muffled, rapid footsteps from outside the room.

    His eyes snapped wide open in rm. He reached for the baseball bat that he kept by his bedside.

    The bat was a staple in his room. Matsuo worked in a casino, so he had his share of unfortunate encounters with vengeful gamblers.

    It served as a precaution for times like this.

    He lived alone in the apartment, so the footsteps were a dead giveaway that there was an intruder. He was not sure if it was a gambler or a burr, but he had to deal with it either way.

    Matsuo tightened his grip on the baseball bat. He felt a lot less vulnerable with it in his hand. He tiptoed across the room and ced his ear against the door.

    He listened.

    The patter of footsteps would crescendo, then grow dull, before bing louder again. It was as if someone was runningps in his living room, which was odd.

    Who would break into his house for a little indoor jogging?

    He was pulled out of his thoughts when the footsteps came to an abrupt stop.

    The entire apartment had be dead silent.

    Matsuo gulped. His throat was dry.

    He was on edge. The air was thick with tension. The person outside had stopped moving and he did not know why.

    He took a few deep breaths.

    He intended to open the door just a little. He just needed a small gap that he could peek through to see what was happening.

    Matsuo put his hand on the doorknob and turned.

    He did so soundlessly.

    He did a quick scan of the dark living room.

    ¡°No one...¡±

    His gaze was sweeping through the living room again when a pair of bloodshot eyes appeared suddenly through the gap, staring right at him.

    Matsuo let out a frightened shout and mmed the door shut.

    He was still holding onto the baseball bat, but his hands were shaking so violently that he was about to drop it.

    He just witnessed a real-life jump scare and it terrified him, but he recovered quickly. He was part of the Yakuza after all. He had balls of steel.

    ¡°A**hole! I¡¯m going to kill you!¡± he cried, swinging the door open and charging into the living room.

    He was ready to fight whoever was there, but what he saw caused the bat to slip from his fingers and crash onto the ground.

    There was a young man in his room. He was doing warm-up exercises in sportswear.

    Matsuo knew this man. He knew that he had lost quite a bit of money in the casino, which was why he threw himself off a building three days ago.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±

    *

    The darkness was spreading and it was frightening.

    You could almost hear everyone¡¯s heart begin to race.

    As the footsteps grew closer, the room grew darker.

    There was something sinister in the air.

    Zhao Xue could feel countless eyes fixed on herself and her friends.

    Then, the whispers began. The first few were difficult to detect, but the voices got louder and louder, talking rapidly at the same time and over each other.

    ck Panther strained his ears to make out what they were saying, but he could not catch a thing. He gulped.

    Every hair on Zhao Xue¡¯s skin was standing on its end. Her diligent training had strengthened her in every way. She did not only grow physically stronger, her intuition was much more refined as well.

    This was why she could sense the evil that was lurking in the darkness. It felt almost palpable, like a sharp de that was dancing across her skin, ready to make a deep cut whenever it wanted to.

    Soon, the entire office had be pitch ck.

    The only source of light was from Fish Ball.

    ¡°This does not feel right. It does not feel right at all,¡± Xiao Yu said.

    Her expression was severe.

    ¡°I can feel immense energy from the darkness. They areing.¡±

    Zhao Xue turned to her. ¡°They?¡±

    Her attention was snapped back to a corner in the room, where it looked like something was churning within the dark.

    A young man emerged. He walked towards them with quick and lithe steps.

    He stopped when he spotted Ishida, whom was still passed out on the floor. He stared at his unconscious figure for a moment, then shook his head gravely.

    ¡°Useless.¡±

    He turned his gaze to Zhao Xue, ck Panther, then Xiao Yu. There was surprise in his face when his eyesnded on the little girl.

    ¡°Oh? I never knew there were apostles like this.¡±

    He then looked right at Nekomata.

    ¡°Ah, seems like the power belongs to this cat.¡±

    Nekomata was shaken.

    In spirit form, he was incorporeal. He could not be seen or touched. In fact, no one had ever seen him in this form before.

    How could the man standing before him be able to do so?

    Meng Hao¡¯s response to the man was far more dramatic than anyone else¡¯s. His entire body had begun to tremble. His eyes were shining with fear.

    The man let out a sigh. ¡°I really don¡¯t want to do this, so why does everyone force me to resort to it? Why does each and every one of you yearn to be a hero?¡±

    As he spoke, the evil in the darkness started to stir. It was growing stronger and Zhao Xue was having a hard time curbing her instinctive need to attack him.

    She was terrified. Her pupils had contracted into pinpoints when she looked at him. However, deep in her gut, she knew she had to stop him.

    Zhao Xue took a step forward and nted her foot deep into the ground, rupturing the cement beneath her. She used that force to propel herself towards the man at lightning speed.

    She threw a punch in his face.

    Zhao Xue could deliver punches that smashed concrete walls into pieces.

    However, even though she had thrown all her energy into this one, it could not reach the man.

    Her mouth opened in horror when she saw what was keeping her away from him.

    Countless ck figures had appeared in front of the man, protecting him.

    She struck again with her other first. It was stopped by another team of ck figures.

    ¡°Watch out!¡± Zhao Xue heard Xiao Yu called out, ¡°Those are spirits!¡±

    At the same time, Xiao Yu used all the phantom energy that she could muster to grip the mysterious young man, squeezing him.

    More dark figures appeared. They surrounded the man, trying to block him from harm¡¯s way.

    Xiao Yu turned them into dust before sending a st of energy straight at the man.

    His body started to crack from the impact. Within seconds, the ripped pieces floated into the air and dissolved into nothing.

    Soon, however, another figure emerged from the darkness, taking the ce of the young man.

    This time, it was a teenager. He was still wearing his school uniform. A look of annoyance crossed his face.

    ¡°Why must you resist?¡± he asked.

    Xiao Yu, Zhao Xue, and Nekomataunched attacks on him at the same time.

    The teenage boy did not flinch. He remained rooted to the spot while legions of spirits sprung from the ground and stood in front of him, deflecting the attack.

    Fish Ball released a flood of light in an attempt to drive the darkness away.

    It did not work.

    There was no way he would have known that the darkness they saw was not real. It was conjured in their minds. It was but an illusion.

    The teenagerughed at Xiao Yu and Zhao Xue¡¯s dogged determination in taking him down.

    ¡°That¡¯s quite a show you¡¯ve put together,¡± he said mockingly, ¡°Unfortunately, it¡¯s time for curtain call.¡±

    He raised a hand and snapped his fingers.

    The room began to echo with the wails and moans of a thousand voices.

    Xiao Yu found herself momentarily paralyzed as a cloud of grey gas left her body and traveled toward the teenager. When it reached him, it began swirling and molding into the shape of a person.

    As the swirling sped up, the shape gradually became more defined. Eventually, it took on the appearance of Xiao Yu.

    More clouds of grey were shooting towards the teenager. They too took on the appearance of different people, forming a barricade of ghostly spirits.

    It was a sight to behold in the worst way imaginable.

    They looked like an army of the undead.

    A collective shiver shook Xiao Yu, Nekomata, Fish Ball, Noodle, Zhao Xue, and ck Panther. There was a prickle behind the back of their necks.

    The teenage boy smiled indulgently. ¡°It¡¯s over.¡±

    In an instant, thousands of the spirits swooped down on the gang, swallowing them whole.

    Tokyo, Japan.

    One week after Matsuo¡¯s supernatural encounter.

    Matsuo shuffled to his bedroom door at five in the morning. He opened it to reveal the legion of spirits that saturated his living room.

    Some of them, like his first ever visitor, were doing warm-up exercises. Some were watching TV. A few were ying video games. There was even one rummaging through the refrigerator for something to eat.

    Matsuo gulped.

    This was the first weekend after the incident.

    In the past week, spirits of the gamblers he met at work have begun taking residence in his home.

    Matsuo was not taking this particrly well.

    His eyes were bloodshot. There were dark purple circles underneath them. They stood out against his sickly pale skin.

    His new housemates had made it impossible for him to sleep well.

    Matsuo stared at the spirits that were moving around his living room, acting as if they owned the ce.

    ¡°What do you want from me?!¡± he shouted, ¡°I¡¯ve given you incense offerings! I¡¯ve sent money to your families! What more do you want? Yes, I won your money, but it¡¯s not like I forced you to gamble! It was your darn choice!¡±

    He punctuated his exmation with a roar of frustration. However, loud as it was, none of the spirits turned their heads or showed any indication that they heard him.

    Matsuo fell to his knees. He started crying.

    ¡°What does all this mean?¡±

    ¡°What must I do for you to leave me alone?¡±

    Meow.

    Before he could sink even deeper in despair, an orange tabby had appeared before him. It rubbed the top of its head against the hem of Matsuo¡¯s trousers.

    ¡°Mo?¡±

    A small smile spread across Matsuo¡¯s lips as he petted the cat.

    ¡°Are you hungry? I¡¯ll fix you up with some nice cat food.¡±

    *

    A tsunami of spirits crashed into them.

    Individually, the spirits were not much of a threat. They could be shattered fairly easily.

    Collectively, however, they were a force to be reckoned with. Xiao Yu, Zhao Xue, and ck Panther worked together to fight them back, but they found themselves drowning in the endless waves of spirits.

    Zhao Xue and ck Panther were beginning to find it difficult to breathe.

    Xiao Yu and Nekomata kept hurling surges of specter energy at the spirits. It would burn holes in their congregation, but those cavities were filled up quickly with new spirits.

    It felt as if the souls of the undead were bent on dragging them to hell.

    The spirits were drawing unbearably closer.

    One of them reached out and wrapped his hand around Zhao Xue¡¯s wrist. She turned and punched him, instantly breaking him into pieces.

    Soon, however, a second spirit held onto her, followed by a third. They held onto her shoulder, her calf, and anything they could get their waxen hands on.

    Noodle barked. He bit one of the spirits that was clinging to Zhao Xue¡¯s leg and that turned him into a target as well. Within seconds, dozens of other spirits surrounded him and he disappeared from view.

    Fish Ball continued to shine like a lighthouse in the misty waters. However, the light was useless at repelling the spirits. It was only a matter of time before he too was swallowed.

    The spirits kepting. They clutched onto every part of Zhao Xue¡¯s body and covered her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. They weighed her down, like rocks in the pockets of a drowning woman.

    Her movements became sluggish. Each action took an extraordinary amount of effort to do. She could even feel her body grow colder.

    ¡°Am I...Am I dying?¡±

    Just as the spirits were about topletely overwhelm them, a powerful st of energy erupted from Xiao Yu. It spread out across the room at an rming rate, wiping out every spirit that it came in contact with.

    Even Nekomata, Noodle, Zhao Xue, and ck Panther copsed onto the ground when it reached them.

    They were out cold.

    Xiao Yu let out a sob.

    That was one of the most terrifying experiences she had ever had in her life. She reached into her shirt pocket for the choker and stared at it.

    ¡°Thank God this thing works.¡±

    This was, of course, the illusory choker that Zhao Yao had given her. Elizabeth¡¯s delusive power to rob the five senses was sealed into it.

    This power worked on all forms of life, spirits included. Zhao Yao had conned the troublemaking one from the Xiao Mansion into the extradimensional belly with this same method. At that time, he had not even mastered control of all five senses.

    Now, his power had evolved into something a lot more powerful. The choker contained that very power, which was why the spirits had all but dissipated and her teammates were still unconscious.

    Xiao Yu made no move to rouse them. Her top priority was to find the apostle whom had been controlling that army of spirits.

    She used her specter powers to levitate every chair and table in the office, but there was no one in sight.

    ¡°The spirits are wiped out, which means that the apostle must have been hit too. But where is he..?¡±

    Xiao Yu furrowed her brows. She had no choice but to retract the power of the illusory choker and shake her teammates awake. They had to get the hell out of here before their mysterious enemy came back.

    She had just witnessed first-hand the immense amount of power this apostle held. Even with Nekomata¡¯s skill, she could never conjure real spirits, much less the thousands that the enemy had controlled.

    The enemy was impossible to beat.

    This thought reminded Xiao Yu of the opponent they had won. She turned her head and her gazended on the now empty space that Ishida had upied.

    He was gone.

    ¡°Rescued? That must have happened before I used the choker. This spells trouble...¡±

    *

    ¡°How did she relinquish my control of the spirits? What sort of power is that?¡±

    The apparition of a teenage girl was standing on a balcony, musing about what had just happened. She looked down at Ishida, who was lying by her feet.

    ¡°At least I got this idiot out.¡±

    She kicked him a few times and only stopped when he began to stir.

    The moment he regained consciousness, he activated his power and dived straight into the nearest shadow.

    The spirit gave him a look.

    ¡°Calm down. I¡¯m not the enemy,¡± she said, ¡°I¡¯m here to help. If you want toplete Matsuo¡¯s mission and see your two adorable assistants, we¡¯re going to have to work together.¡±

    ¡°What have you done to Onitsuka and Sato?¡± Ishida asked quietly.

    She gave him a full-bodied shrug. ¡°Nothing. At least for now. I need you to do a little experiment for me. I need you to test if that pesky little girl¡¯s powers affect you.¡±

    ¡°And why would I do that?¡±

    The teenager sighed. ¡°Why won¡¯t any of you listen to me? Must I turn you into ghosts before you cooperate?¡±

    Ishida¡¯s mouth fell open as three figures materialized in the air. At first, they were just faceless outlines. However, they soon took on the appearance of Sato, Onitsuka, and Ishida.

    ¡°Speaking of, I¡¯ve got to thank you for epting my money.¡±

    The tremor in Ishida¡¯s voice could not be concealed. ¡°What the hell do you want?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t want anything at all, really. You were the one who left me with no choice. Your people brought a spy into the picture. We¡¯ve got no other way out.¡±

    *

    Xiao Yu and the gang were racing down the endless flights of stairs in the building.

    More urately, Xiao Yu and Nekomata we¡¯re flying down the stairs. Their feet never touched the ground. They were dragging Fish Ball and Noodle closely behind them with their powers.

    Zhao Xue was carrying ck Panther on her back. She was sprinting like a contestant in a 100m race.

    ¡°Why are we running?¡± she shouted.

    ¡°I have a very bad feeling about what¡¯sing for us,¡± Xiao Yu replied, ¡°If the shadow apostle and spirit apostlebined forces, I¡¯m afraid...¡±

    Xiao Yu had knocked out everyone at the scene by robbing their five senses. However, the spirit apostle had not been one of them. It meant that he was not physically in the office, but controlling the spirit army from a distance.

    This meant that they could not hurt him or her.

    Also, Xiao Yu has no clue if the choker worked on Ishida when he was hidden in a shadow. If it did not and the two apostles attacked them at the same time, they would be done for.

    Just as the thought crossed her mind, countless shadow spikes appeared before them.

    Her worst fear hade true.

    ¡°He¡¯s won again.¡±

    ¡°See, I told you to he was going to win!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s hear it one more time for the God of Gamblers!¡±

    Matsuo smirked as the crowd went wild. They cheered and apuded for him anduded him as a genius. They had no clue that he was getting help from a few friends.

    Ghostly figures gathered around the betting table, gliding from left to right. They were Matsuo¡¯s spies. They made sure he knew the exact cards that were dealt to each of his opponents.

    ¡°It¡¯s no big deal,¡± Matsuo shrugged.

    As always, the trip to the casino was fruitful. He returned to his new home, a swanky mansion, with a literal bag of cash. He walked through the doors happily, not sparing a second nce at the dozens of spirits that darted around the ce.

    He was neither fearful or surprised by their presence.

    Matsuo turned back when he heard a few rapid knocks on the door. He looked through the peephole and whatever he saw made him smile.

    He swung the door open.

    One by one, men whom he had gambled with entered his abode. They had all lost to him and owed him a sizeable amount of money.

    They looked pretty much the same as they did in the casino, except they were clearly not human anymore. They looked like the spirits that roamed his house. Their faces were waxen and bloodless. Green smoke obscured the lower half of their bodies. They had no feet in sight.

    After they had all entered the house, a quiet meow filled the air.

    Matsuo squatted next to Mo and scratched the back of its ears. He then scooped it into his arms and headed to the kitchen.

    Mo looked at up him eagerly. Matsuo looked down at the cat, a strange grin stered on his face.

    ¡°Momo, why don¡¯t we make a bet? Tell me, which of these three bowls has cat food?¡±

    *

    The sudden reemergence of shadow spikes made Xiao Yu skid to a stop. She grabbed Fish Ball and he immediately lit up the stairway, driving the spikes back into the darkness.

    Unfortunately, this time, the shadows were not their only enemy.

    Countless spirits had begun to manifest as well. They all shared the same pallidplexion, creepy grin, and a spine-chilling look of desire in their eyes. They quickly closed in on the gang.

    Xiao Yu held onto the choker. She hesitated for a beat before activating it.

    In an instant, the spirits dissipated and disappeared from view. Her teammates were knocked out cold once again as well.

    However, the shadows that filled the room were still morphing and growing. Xiao Yu could hear her heart hammering in her ears as a new batch of spikes rose from the darkness and shot right at Fish Ball.

    ¡°Darn it.¡±

    Xiao Yu¡¯s worst fear hade true. The choker¡¯s power worked on all forms of life in all states and stages. That included spirits and ghosts. However, when Ishida merged into one with the shadows, he no longer had a life form. He was part of an inanimate object and thus, remained unaffected.

    Xiao Yu was in quite the predicament. If she used the choker to drive the spirits away, Fish Ball would be knocked out too. Without Fish Ball¡¯s light, the shadow spikes could attack. For her cat to regain consciousness and illuminate the room, she would have to deactivate the choker, but then the spirits coulde back and attack them.

    In the end, she was left with no choice but to repeatedly turn the choker¡¯s powers on and off. When the spirits got too close, she would activate it and knock everyone out. Then, when the shadow spikes rained on them, she would switch it off and wake Fish Ball.

    It was the only solution she could think of, but it was not a good one.

    The spirits were starting to regroup and gang up on them faster and faster. It was as if they knew what she was up to. They knew that she would turn it off. She would dive straight back into action the moment that happened.

    Xiao Yu felt like she was in the eye of a storm. Things might be barely okay now, but she knew that the winds will pick up and it will all spin out of control very, very soon.

    ck Panther yelled from across the stairway, ¡°Guys, look at that!¡±

    The gang followed his gaze and met the sight of Zhao Xue¡¯s spirit hightailing towards them.

    Xiao Yu paled. ¡°These are not normal spirits. They¡¯re not really ghosts. What exactly is this apostle¡¯s power?¡±

    Outside, innumerable wisps of grey smoke were darting from all corners of the city towards the office building. As they got closer, the smoke would be molded into the shape of human figures. They looked very much like the spirits that were attacking Xiao Yu.

    There were more than enough of them to engulf the gang and bury them alive.

    However, only a trickle of them was sent into the building at any one time. This was not a mistake. It was done on purpose.

    The spirits were not meant to destroy Xiao Yu, Zhao Xue, and ck Panther. They were supposed to exhaust them.

    *

    Fatty gaped at the sight of the spirits swooping about overhead.

    He was one of the apostle officers who worked closely with Lin Chen and Inspector Ho. He gulped as he spotted more and more ghostly figures crowding around the building.

    The nature of the spirits was simr to that of Nekomata and Xiao Yu¡¯s. They could switch between corporeal and incorporeal states. For them to make physical contact with any object at all, they would have to take on a material form. In turn, they could be touched and hurt as well.

    ¡°Jesus. That fe had been in there for just minutes. How did he end up stirring so much s**t so quickly?¡±

    By now, the streets that sat on the circumference of the building had all been blocked. Ten police cars were parked by the entrance. The SWAT squad hurried out of them and moved quickly to surround all entrances and exits. Each officer was wearing a ballistic vest. Some donned full riot gear. They all held a weapon in hand. Snipers were situated on the roof of surrounding high-rises. Helicopters were rattling above the scene.

    The fat apostle officer was named Xiao Cong. He had been tailing Onitsuka and Sato with his colleague, Ice, when they found out the duo had attacked Meng Hao and his friends.

    They had expected them to return to their hideout, but they led them to this peer-to-peer lending tform¡¯s office instead.

    Inspector Ho had instructed Xiao Cong and Ice to remain there and stake out. He believed that there might be bigger fish to catch and he was right. Unfortunately, the fish turned out to be a bit too big and slippery. A series of strange events unfurled, each more insane than the previous.

    They found themselves at a loss on how to stay on top of the situation.

    By the time the SWAT team and apostle officers arrived at the scene, spirits were already clinging onto more than half the building.

    Regr explosions could be hearding from inside, which undoubtedly meant that something serious was going down.

    Inspector Ho studied the building, brows furrowed. ¡°What¡¯s happening right now?¡±

    Lin Chen responded immediately. ¡°The Japanese apostles are in there. I don¡¯t think this is entirely their doing though. Every window has been shut, so we can¡¯t see inside. Every time one of us tries to enter the building, one of those spirits would attack. Allworks in the building are down as well, so we have no clue what exactly is going on.¡±

    ¡°Are there any hostages?¡±

    ¡°ording to security records, at least 20 people have entered the building. Not one of them have made it out.¡±

    *

    ¡°A traffic jam now? What?¡±

    Zhao Yao slowed the Panamera as he approached a red light. A quick nce at the GPS showed him that every road heading to the office building was jammed.

    A wisp of smoke emerged from his body and soared out of the car, heading straight to the same ce he was going to.

    No one in the car saw this.

    Zhao Yao looked in the rearview mirror. There were cars getting closer to him. If the traffic ahead was as awful as the GPS indicated, it would be dangerous for the Panamera to remain invisible. It would be a matter of time before someone crashed into him.

    ¡°Thankfully it¡¯s not that much further.¡±

    He parked the car and got out with the debt collectors. He then turned invisible and swallowed the car into the extradimensional belly.

    The deflective field was then turned on, binding them together in a protective bubble.

    The debt collectors screamed in terror as Zhao Yao dragged them along the shortcut to the office, which involved leaping from roof to roof.

    Zhao Yao skidded to a halt when he saw the officers, police cars, and helicopters that surrounded the building. His mouth fell open when he saw the spirits that circled it.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, what¡¯s going on?¡± Even Roly Poly was in shock.

    ¡°Well, as the saying goes, money can make ghosts turn millstones 1 .¡±

    ¡°Here.¡±

    ¡°This one.¡±

    ¡°It should be here this time.¡±

    A sheen of cold sweat was on Matsuo¡¯s forehead. He studied the cat. It had managed to correctly identify the bowl that contained food every single time.

    He jumped. ¡°Momo, did you justugh at me?¡±

    The ginger cat looked up at him innocently.

    Matsuo let out a ragged sigh of relief.

    ¡°Silly me. Cats don¡¯t smile. We¡¯re done for tonight. Let¡¯s continue ying tomorrow.¡±

    The next day, he won every game he tried his hand at. Winning had be the norm and it no longer excited him like it used to.

    At night, he yed the same guessing game with Momo. It was supposed to be fun, but it did not feel fun. In fact, being with Momo made the hairs on the back of his neck stand.

    Matsuo swore that he could see Momo smiling at him from the corner of his eyes. However, every time he tried to take a closer look, the cat¡¯s expression was nk.

    He fell into a fitful sleep. He stirred when his body sunk deeper into the mattress. It felt like there was a weight on him and it was pushing him down.

    Matsuo¡¯s eyes snapped open to meet a pair of bright green eyes staring right back. There was a crinkle in the corner of the eyes, as if its owner was grinning from ear to ear.

    He let out a terrified scream.

    Meow~

    ¡°Momo? What are you doing in my room?¡± Matsuo stammered, ¡°Did I forget to shut the door?¡±

    That was but the first of a series of frightening events.

    Shortly after, when Matsuo was bathing, he spotted the same pair of green eyes in the gap between the shower curtain and the tiled wall.

    The once aquaphobic Momo had actually ventured into the bathroom to peep on him.

    The cat did not turn away or hide when Matsuo saw it. Instead, it continued to stare, lips parted in a sinister smile. For some reason, it reminded him of the creepy 80-year-old grannies in horror movies.

    ¡°Momo!¡± Matsuo cried, ¡°You¡¯re not allowed in here! Get out!¡±

    That night, he checked if the door was locked multiple times before he headed to bed.

    Unfortunately, that was not a good enough deterrence. Weird s**t kept happening.

    His slumber was disturbed when the sound of childrenughing reached his ears. The giggles were so clear and felt too close.

    His eyes snapped open.

    Once again, a familiar pair of bright, green eyes looked into his. Beneath it was a wide, open mouth that was raised in the corners. No sound came from it, but it looked like it should emit raucousughter.

    ¡°Ah!¡± Matsuo screamed, flinging Momo off his body and across the room.

    He saw Momo streak out of the door. He shut it with a loud bang.

    Panting, Matsuo turned around and propped his back against the door.

    His eyesnded on the orange cat that was sprawled across his bed, staring at him, mouth open in silentughter.

    *

    A deep groove was etched between Zhao Yao¡¯s knitted eyebrows.

    He studied the building before him, which was swarming with spirits.

    ¡°You guys stay here.¡±

    With that, he snapped his fingers and robbed the debt collector of their senses. They instantly fell into a heap on the ground,pletely unconscious.

    He sent a telepathic message to his cats, ¡°Activate supercat armor.¡±

    His call was answered quickly. One by one, his team of supercats emerged from his mouth. Thest item to appear was a long, ck robe.

    Zhao Yao draped it over his shoulders in one swift motion.

    The cats scrambled to their rightful positions in seconds. Once Roly Poly made Zhao Yao¡¯s head invisible, he took one leap and flew straight to the building¡¯s entrance.

    Hended gracefully, but the impact of his arrival was far from elegant. The ground beneath his feet cracked from the collision, creating a resounding boom.

    There was an echo of clicks as every SWAT officer cocked their weapon and pointed it at him.

    Zhao Yao did not even throw a nce their way. His eyes were firmly set on the building that was in front of him.

    ¡°I¡¯m going in to take a look,¡± he announced, ¡°Stay outside and do not do anything stupid.¡±

    Inspector Ho motioned for his team to stand down.

    He shouted at the Headless Horseman, ¡°Do you know what¡¯s happening in there?¡±

    ¡°Nope,¡± Zhao Yao replied, popping the ¡®p¡¯ at the end of the word.

    He charged towards the front door, breaking it down with ease. A swarm of spirits tried to smother him, but they were reduced to dust before they could even reach him.

    Within seconds, the Headless Horseman had turned a corner and disappeared from view.

    ¡°Who is that?¡± an officer asked Inspector Ho, ¡°Is it okay for us to just let him in without question?¡±

    The inspector looked up at the legion of spirits that circled the office. He rubbed the top of his bald head thoughtfully.

    ¡°If he can¡¯t solve this, no one can.¡±

    *

    The spirit of the teenage girl shut her eyes.

    She was still up on the balcony. Even here, she could ess what her spirit army was seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, and tasting. She could even control their actions and make them behave as she wished.

    Everything that had gone down in the office building was her handiwork.

    Xiao Yu and her friends were being cornered into defeat. It was just a matter of time before they were destroyed.

    The building was surrounded byw enforcement, but that did not pose too much of an issue. They could not stop her from leaving even if they wanted to. Anyone with a healthy respect for and fear of death would not dare enter the building either.

    However...

    ¡°Huh?¡± she tilted her head, puzzled.

    She cut from the point of view of one spirit to another, trying to get a better glimpse of the man in ck that had broken into the building.

    Sheughed, ¡°Seems like there are some who do not fear death.¡±

    She smiled coldly as shemanded arge horde of spirits to attack the Headless Horseman. She knew this was what he called from snippets of the SWAT team¡¯s conversation.

    It did not take long for him to wipe the smug smile off her face.

    The Horseman did not panic as the spirits closed in on him. In fact, he seemed to ignore thempletely. He focused on racing up the stairs at an unbelievable pace.

    Not one spirit could get closer than five meters from him. The ones that reached that small radius would instantly dissolve without a trace.

    Her eyes narrowed. ¡°He doesn¡¯t even have to do anything to destroy them. How is this possible?¡±

    She knew she had to up her game.

    A dozen spirits emerged from the sea of ghostly figures. They looked different. They looked a lot more concrete and solid than their incorporeal counterparts. Their eyes were shining with an eerie green light.

    They headed straight for the Headless Horseman.

    Some of the spirits in her legion had superpowers. Since she couldmand them to use their powers as if they were just another limb.

    The special dozenunched themselves at the Headless Horseman, each initiating their powers. There were shes of fire, lightning bolts, force fields, arrows, and all sorts of other things hurled his way.

    This time, she finally got the Horseman¡¯s attention.

    He did not seem worried or afraid. Instead, he simply stopped moving to stare at the iing assault.

    ¡°Oh?¡± he muttered.

    In the next moment, the collision happened.

    A profusion of powers hit the Headless Horseman, but he remained rooted on the spot, unaffected and unfazed. It was as if he was a ck hole and he was swallowing all the powers whole.

    They could not inflict any damage on him at all.

    In response, he raised his right fist and threw a punch in the direction of the dozen. The force of the punch sliced through every power that was stilling his way and reached the spirits, banishing them in an instant.

    Having hit its targets, the remaining energy splintered in all directions, destroying every wall that stood in its path. It waspletely spent when a truck-sized hole was made in one of the building¡¯s exterior walls.

    A cacophony of cement and ster rained onto the ground.

    The teenager did not look pleased at all.

    She sent the spirits to call for Ishida.

    ¡°Leave the two girls. We¡¯ve got bigger problems on our hands.¡±

    Tokyo.

    Matsuo entered a deserted alley.

    He looked like crap. All the color had drained from his face, leaving him with a creepily waxy skin texture. The bags under his eyes were so heavy they touched the top of his cheeks. He looked like he was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

    He set his pet carrier on the ground.

    Momo was inside.

    He considered unzipping it and letting the cat out, but thought better of it.

    ¡°Momo, be good and stay here, alright? I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll be adopted in no time,¡± he said to the bag.

    Then, he left.

    The following days felt like a reprieve. It was like the sun had finally peeked through the clouds that had darkened his life with despair.

    Without Momo¡¯s eyes trained on him every night, he could finally sleep in peace. Even the spirits that hung out around his house had vanished. Their disappearance meant that his windfall hade to an end, but that was alright. He had won enough. All he wanted now was to lead an ordinary life.

    Unfortunately, that was not what fate had in store for him.

    One night, he was awakened by loud meowing. His first thought was that it must have been the stray cats in his neighborhood.

    That was quickly dispelled because the meows grew steadily louder. In a matter of seconds, it sounded like they wereing from inside the bedroom.

    Matsuo shot out of bed and switched on the lights. He circled his room, but there was no ginger cat in sight.

    He shook his head. ¡°My mind must be ying tricks on me.¡±

    He slumped onto the edge of his bed. The open drawer by his bedside caught his eye. He did not remember leaving it agape like this.

    When he leaned in for a closer look, a pair of bright, green eyes appeared in the gap.

    Matsuo screamed. He yanked open the drawer, but there was no cat inside.

    His could hear his heart hammering in his ears.

    He swallowed hard. ¡°My eyes must be ying tricks on me.¡±

    He rxed on the bed, stretching his arms across the quilt. He felt his fingers graze something.

    It was cat litter.

    He should have thrown away every cat-rted item in his home.

    *

    The teenage girl was still on the roof, much like a puppet master controlling her little spirit marites. She could see everything that was happening in the office building vicariously through them.

    First, shemanded Ishida to deal with the Headless Horseman. Then, she sent Ishida¡¯s spirit after Xiao Yu and friends.

    Ishida¡¯s spirit was not as powerful as the real deal. However, it was enough to keep Xiao Yu under its thumb, especially when it was assisted by a legion of spirits.

    This meant that she could focus all her energy and attention on the Headless Horseman. Ishida was currently leading an army of the undead to close in on him.

    ¡°This Headless Horseman has some kind of imprable protection around him. Physical attacks are of no use. Ishida¡¯s shadows, however, might be our way to reach him. There¡¯s no way his defences can grasp a shadow.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll have to cover Ishida so that can reach any part of his body. His back, neck, chin, and even the shadow cast in his mouth are all prime spots for attack.¡±

    She wasted no time in putting this into action.

    At first, the n was executed smoothly. The flurry of spirits obscured Ishida from view. While the Horseman was busy waving them away, Ishida managed to sneak into a shadowtched onto the small of his body.

    He wanted to get closer, but the absence of a head greatly reduced the possible surface area for shadows to grow.

    ¡°This looks like some kind of invisibility charm,¡± the teenager said coldly, ¡°Where you are is good enough. Do it now. Kill him.¡±

    A dozen spikes started to peel from the shadows on his back. They crawled along his skin, trying to climb their way up the Horseman¡¯s neck.

    The spikes moved furtively, but there was no way they could escape Zhao Yao¡¯s notice. He had the power of perception of five supercats after all.

    Before they could strike, he took a small step back and vanished.

    Ishida and his shadows disappeared as well.

    ¡°Ishida? Ishida, where are you?¡± the girl called out in Japanese, using her spirit army as amunication medium.

    There was no response.

    ¡°Damn it! What kind of power was that? How could they have disappeared together?¡±

    The next moment, the Headless Horseman had crossed the threshold of his dimension doorway. To the girl, it looked like he materialized from thin air.

    Ishida was still nowhere in sight.

    *

    In the extradimensional belly, Ishida had curled up into a ball in a corner.

    He was doused in the shadows cast by the team of supercats that surrounded him.

    There was a look of despair in his eyes.

    He did not realize that he was trembling.

    *

    ¡°Goddammit!¡± the girl cursed, brows knitted, ¡°You are forcing me to do this!¡±

    Another horde of the undead soared through the night sky, breaking the building¡¯s ss windows to get to the Headless Horseman.

    A simple wave from his hand was enough to vaporize the spirits, revealing the bond that they had been carrying. They fell to the ground and exploded one by one, blowing up everything in the way.

    As if the damage done was not enough, more droves of kamikaze spirits entered thending, raining more bombs on the Horseman.

    The teenager¡¯s spirit cackled at the sight.

    ¡°You are going to die!¡± sheughed, ¡°This is the ultimatebination of technology and superpowers. There¡¯s no way you can escape me now!¡±

    There was no way she could have foreseen what would happen next.

    Columns of golden light rushed to the sky, like a bridge to heaven. Now that Zhao Yao had upgraded the deflective field, it could span an impressive 30-meter radius. By activating a power-up card on top of that, its reach extended to an astonishing 300-meter radius.

    The building was bathed in a golden glow. The girl gawked as two giant palms of gold appeared. They closed in on her kamikaze squad, scooping the bombs into their palms. Then, they clenched into fists.

    Loud rumbling emerged from the giant hands. It was clear that the bombs had started detonating inside them. shes of light would peek through the gaps between the huge fingers, but they would dissipate as quickly as they appeared. There was no sign that the hands would crack or dissolve. Not a single finger would budge.

    The teenage girl¡¯s mouth hung wide open. ¡°How...how can this be?¡±

    She was not the only one in a state of shock.

    Inspector Ho, Lin Chen, and the rest of the apostle officers and SWAT team stared up at the golden halo that enveloped the building.

    The inspector¡¯s gaze traveled to the giant palms.

    ¡°This rascal...He¡¯s gotten stronger again,¡± he muttered under his breath.

    The Headless Horseman looked up. He was only halfway up the building. He estimated that there were at least 12 more stories to cover.

    He cast Roly Poly¡¯s power, vanishing the floors, walls, and ceilings of each level one by one.

    Within seconds, he had a clear view of everything that was happening within the building. He could see everything, from Xiao Yu¡¯s heated battle against the spirits, to the teenage girl¡¯s spirit hiding on the roof, and even ck Panther¡¯s unconscious buddies.

    ¡°Now this is much better,¡± Zhao Yao nodded to himself.

    The fact that every surface in the building had suddenly be invisible stopped everyone in their tracks.

    Xiao Yu and Zhao Xue¡¯s arms fell to their sides, mouths wide open. They nced around nervously and their eyesnded on the dazzling golden light that cloaked the building.

    They then looked down in unison to see the Headless Horseman eight floors beneath them.

    Zhao Xue¡¯s eyes widened. She thought, ¡°This power...this outfit...is Guang Yu here?¡±

    Xiao Yu let out a sigh. She thought, ¡°Zhao Yao¡¯s here too? And kicking up quite the fuss too. He must have borrowed truckloads of money.¡±

    Zhao Yao spotted the wave of spirits that surrounded his sister and auntie. He flung his wrist in their direction, sending the eyevof the golden glow towards them. With the light fixed on them, the spirits disbanded and vanished.

    Once that was settled, the teenage girl felt the Horseman¡¯s turn to her. He might be headless, but she had the unnerving feeling that he was locking eyes with her.

    ¡°This is your doing, isn¡¯t it?¡±

    The Horseman raised both hands towards the girl, then pulled them apart, as if he wanted to rip something in two.

    A sh of golden light appeared, followed by a tremendous explosion.

    The Horseman had tunneled a hole that spanned 12 floors, creating a channel between him and the spirit of the teenage girl.

    Matsuo trudged to the front door and fasten the dozens of lockstched on it. Then, he diligently bolted the locks on the windows, kitchen door, living room door, and finally, his bedroom door.

    He climbed into bed and looked up at the ceiling.

    All the lights in the room were left switched on. They illuminated his bloodshot eyes and the dark circles hanging heavily beneath them. Even with the lights turned off, you could see how awful he looked.

    Every crack and gap that was in the bedroom had been stuffed with newspaper or tissue paper. Even so, Matsuo felt that a pair of green eyes would appear.

    Exhausted, he eventually fell into an uneasy sleep.

    He woke when he heard a crisp voice calling for him.

    ¡°Matsuo,e y with me.¡±

    ¡°Matsuo, can you hear me?¡±

    ¡°Matsuo, let¡¯s y one more round, shall we?¡±

    Matsuo fought to lift his heavy eyelids.

    ¡°Who¡¯s there? Who¡¯s calling me?¡± he murmured.

    When he finally opened his eyes, he made out Momo¡¯s figure in front of him, rubbing the top of its head against him.

    ¡°Momo? Why are you here again?¡±

    ¡°Matsuo, I¡¯m here to y with you,¡± the ginger cat smiled, eyes sparkling with joy, ¡°Matsuo, you finally understand what I¡¯m saying!¡±

    ¡°I...I understand you?¡± Matsuo spoke slowly, brows knitted together.

    He lifted his head and looked at his reflection in the mirror.

    The image staring back was a nightmarish version of himself. His face was pallid and waxy, eyes glowing with a faint, green glimmer. The corners of his lips were turned up in a mocking smile.

    Matsuo jumped backward in fear. He thought his back would hit the wall, but he fell through it andnded on the street instead.

    He looked down at his body.

    ¡°I...I¡¯ve be a ghost?¡±

    He heard a door open. He turned his head towards it the sound. A man had swung open the room door. Exhaustion marred his facial features. The bags under his eyes were so swollen they looked like bruises.

    ¡°Why? Why does he get to be alive while I have to be a ghost?¡±

    There was a ferocity in his expression. The green glow in his eyes grew brighter. He edged forward, looking through a crack in the wall to spy on the Matsuo that was still in the house.

    *

    The Headless Horseman pulled both arms outwards and backwards, hurtling himself up 12 floors, eyes locked on the spirit of the teenage girl on the roof.

    ¡°S**t!¡± she cursed, quickly beckoning thest of the spirits towards her.

    They formed a wall of protection around her.

    She was fast, but the Headless Horseman was faster. Before anyone could see what he was doing, he had appeared next to the girl.

    ¡°Gotcha!¡±

    She nched visibly as the spirits lunged at the Horseman.

    ¡°There¡¯s no point fighting me,¡± he smiled.

    He raised a hand and stretched five fingers, then wed at the air. In an instant, a spark of golden light appeared and expanded, bursting the spirits that wereing his way.

    He turned to face the spirit of the teenage girl. There was an invisible force that blossomed around him.

    He cut to Elizabeth¡¯s power.

    ¡°Deprive all five senses.¡±

    *

    ¡°Ishida is unreachable.¡±

    ¡°The kamikaze spirits have been destroyed.¡±

    ¡°The little girl and her friends have been saved.¡±

    ¡°All hostages have been rescued.¡±

    ¡°All spirits are gone.¡±

    ¡°Invisibility, teleportation, force fields, telekinesis, superhuman reflexes and a heck of a ton of experience in superpowerbat.¡±

    ¡°He can probably cause more damage than a missile, can¡¯t he?¡±

    ¡°He is a monster.¡±

    Matsuo shook his head gravely, watching the battle unfold below.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m d I¡¯m up here in the sky. If he gets his hands on me, he¡¯ll probably crush me to bits.¡±

    He was hovering hundreds of meters above ground, a human figure floating in the ink ck sky. He had been up here all along, right from when the first attack against Xiao Yu and Zhao Xue began.

    He was not just a spectator. He was the mastermind. Every spirit and every assail was his single-handed doing. Even the spirit of the teenage girl was his puppet. He had lost control of her when two red specks of light appeared in the empty space where the Horseman¡¯s head should have been.

    Matsuo¡¯s head was spinning. Since the Horseman¡¯s appearance, he had beening up with ways to defeat him. Unfortunately, none of his attempts had worked.

    He knew now that the gap between himself and his opponent was far toorge. There was no way to beat him tonight.

    Matsuo sighed, ¡°It¡¯s over.¡±

    He could not help the disappointment that bubbled in his chest. He had worked very hard to get to where he was today, but that was all going down the drain.

    ¡°But that¡¯s alright. A lot of people still owe me money. As long as I¡¯m still alive, I¡¯ll have countless of chances to try again. Till next time, Headless Horseman.¡±

    As Matsuo began to glide away, a series of explosions sounded from the ground. Each boom was louder than the one before.

    His eyes widened as he looked below. ¡°What?¡±

    A long and thin ck shadow was charging rapidly towards him, like a sh of dark lightning.

    ¡°It¡¯s the Horseman¡± Matsuo was beginning to panic for the first time, ¡°How did he know I was here?¡±

    Zhao Yao had expected that the real teenage girl would appear after her spirit form had been robbed of her senses. When that did not happen, he suspected that she was not the apostle behind this mess.

    He squinted his eyes and began studying the surroundings carefully. Armed with superhuman vision, he could see the ck spot that hovered above them far away.

    Zhao Yao fetched up Sphynx cat from the belly. The muscr cat raised him easily, as if he was lifting an onion, not a human being 20 times his size. Then, he catapulted him into the sky like a cannonball.

    ¡°Goddammit,¡± Matsuo seethed.

    He quickly dodged the iing Horseman, whom zoomed past him into the dark of the night.

    Matsuo was just about to heave a sigh of relief when a column of golden light cut through the sky and coiled around him.

    ¡°Dematerialize!¡± Matsuomanded, instantly reducing his tactile form to an incorporeal one.

    He would not be able to touch or be touched now. He would be unable to use his other powers in this state, but he would be safe from all physical attacks, including the beam of light that had held him in ce.

    Matsuo slid through its grasp easily, falling towards the ground.

    He let out the sigh that was caught in his throat. The distance between himself and the Horseman grew greater and greater.

    ¡°See you next time, Headless Horseman,¡± he smirked.

    He was still falling, but that did not worry him. He was not going to hit the ground and go st. Instead, he would enter the underworld, where no human would be able to catch him.

    His gloating came to an abrupt end when time came to a standstill.

    Zhao Yao nted both feet firmly on the golden beam that Ares had created. He used it like a bridge to get to the ce where he had caught Matsuo.

    He stood at that spot and used his hands to measure the distance.

    ¡°He probably went that way,¡± he concluded.

    Zhao Yao redeemed the ghastly cat princess dress, then ced three dimension doorways in the path that his opponent should be on.

    When time resumed again, Matsuo was still in the process of falling towards the ground. He was still gloating over his escape from the clutches of the Horseman.

    The smug smile was wiped off his face when everything went pitch ck for a moment. When he could see again, he found that he had entered a strange dimension.

    When time resumed, Zhao Yao had already tossed Matsuo into the extradimensional belly. Zhao Yao reached his arm forward as Ares¡¯s deflective field grabbed hold of him before hurling their bodies towards the night sky.

    After just a few seconds, Zhao Yao¡¯s timefreeze cooldown had already expired. Once again, the world came to a standstill. Zhao Yao then sprinted along the surface of the golden deflective field as he returned to his original position.

    He then erected an extradimensional belly gate right behind Ares¡¯s position.

    Zhao Yao nced down at the frozen world before initiating his super-regeneration. While the entire world was at aplete halt, Zhao Yao took a step forward before plunging headfirst into this static world.

    Bam! Zhao Yao¡¯s body nosedived into the ground before crashing against the concrete floor. In a split second, every bone in his body was shattered to pieces as parts of his remnants exploded into the surroundings. All that was left was the blood stain on the ground.

    However, this scene onlysted for a split second. Immediately after the collision, his hyper-regeneration abilities had already taken effect. The muscles and bones began to merge together as his body formed piece by piece, bone by bone. Simultaneously, Zhao Yao reveled in this inexplicable sensation

    .

    ¡°Oh,¡± Zhao Yao went back to his feet with his jawspletely ck, ¡°This feels incredible!¡± An intense desire to jump down from a next skyscraper swept over him. However, he managed to suppress his burning desire and focused his mind on the mission. He then responded by absorbing the blood-stained concrete into his belly.

    Using deflective field, a makeshift golden bridge emerged, spanning from Zhao Yao¡¯s position to the rooftop. Zhao Yao sprinted down this stupendous bridge before stopping right in front of Sphynx Cat as he prepared to absorb him back to the belly.

    The moment time resumed, Ares and the remaining supercats which were hurled into the air had already disappeared into the extradimensional belly gate. Simrly, Zhao Yao had also thrown Sphynx Cat into it. Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes swept across the mess he had created and heaved a long sigh of despair before disappearing into his belly.

    ...

    Matsuo had to be on his toes the moment he entered this strange ce. Even though he knew that nothing in this world could possibly injure or even hurt him if he remained in spirit form, he simply couldn¡¯t put his mind to rest.

    He started by scrutinizing his surroundings. The ce was huge and brightly lit. Its ceiling was at least two to three meters tall and it could easily amodate five football fields.

    Suddenly, he noticed a familiar figure at the corner of his eyes. Ishida was kneeling on the ground with his palms firmly sped together as he continued to apologize relentlessly to a bunch of cats.

    He had never seen Ishida behaved in this manner. His entire body was pressed against the ground in the uniquely Japanese kowtow position. With tears welled up in his eyes, Ishida screamed, ¡°I¡¯m sorry! I¡¯m sorry for creating so much trouble for all of you!¡±

    This shouting led to a chorus of meows amongst the cats themselves. Obviously, Ishida was clueless as to what they were discussing. He could only pray to his God as sweat and tears streamed down his cheeks.

    Airne took a step forward and asked, ¡°What are we supposed to do? Both Zhao Yao and Ares aren¡¯t here today. How should we deal with this Japanese?¡±

    Because of the activation of supercat armor, Roly Poly, Ares, and a few other supercats were not there when Ishida arrived inside the belly.

    A glimmer of excitement shed across Matsuo¡¯eyes as he witnessed this unique urrence unfolding right in front of him, ¡°So many cats? Are all of them supercats?¡± Matsuo¡¯s chest rose and fell with rapid breaths as he imagined the fortune awaiting him should he capture all of them.

    Meanwhile, Ares, Sphynx Cat, Zhao Yao and the rest had also returned to the extradimensional belly after Zhao Yao¡¯s second time freeze. In reality, only a few seconds had passed since Matsuo¡¯s arrival.

    Because of supercat armor, all of the supercats which just returned were concealed by Roly Poly¡¯s power of invisibility. Only Zhao Yao was visible to the naked eye.

    Matsuo swept his head around before muttering to himself, ¡°This guy is also here? I guess this space is somehow connected to his ability as well.¡± A tinge of jealousy shed across his eyes as his body trembled with envy, ¡°Is this the reason why he is able to simultaneously wield so many power? Is it because of all the cats here?¡±

    ¡°Hmph, I guess today is your unlucky day. The worst mistake tomit is to bring me into this ce. I will use my power and rob you of every single one of your ability! From today onwards, I¡¯ll be the ruler of this ce, the ruler of all these cats!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes swept across the belly nonchntly before he randomly screamed into a corner, ¡°Hey, you¡¯re inside here, aren¡¯t you? Aren¡¯t you intending to reveal yourself?¡±

    Matsuo¡¯s lips curled into a sinister smile as he thought to himself, ¡°Reveal myself? Do you take me for an idiot? I¡¯m going to examine and study all of your secrets in here!¡±

    ¡°Troublesome a*shole,¡± Honestly, Zhao Yao wasn¡¯t too bothered by this bothersome fe. He could at most maintain his power for 24 hours. By then, his power would evaporate to thin air and he would have no choice but to reveal his body.

    Meanwhile, Ishida burst into more tears as he finally saw a human figure. Those were actually tears of joy. He couldn¡¯t even be bothered that Zhao Yao was his enemy as he sprinted towards him before plunging into another Japanese kowtow, ¡°I¡¯m so sorry! I¡¯m so sorry for causing so much trouble for you and your friends!¡±

    ...

    Following Zhao Yao and the supercats disappearance, the majestic golden bridge which spanned across the night sky had also vanished. The once transparent building had once again regained its usual appearance.

    Zhao Xue sprinted to the edge of the building and looked into the distant sky. Sadness tore at her chest as she breathed a sigh of despair, ¡°Isn¡¯t that ...¡±

    ¡°The headless horseman.¡± Meng Hao, who had originally given up all hope had suddenly gotten back to his feet and appeared right next to Zhao Xue. His expression was unusually solemn as he mumbled, ¡°I have never expected him to appear here. He is truly my arch-nemesis.¡±

    ¡°Oh? It really is the headless horseman?¡± Zhao Xue hadpletely ignored the second half of Meng Hao¡¯s message as excitement raced through her, ¡°It really is her! Is she here to save us?¡±

    Xiao Yu¡¯s expression contorted into a grimace as she answered, ¡°In my opinion, your so-called ¡®headless horseman¡¯ simply owes thispany a huge sum of money. His n was to default on his payment. However, this went a bit out of hand and he had no choice but to kill the boss of thepany.¡±

    Somehow, Zhao Xue managed to filter out all the negative connotations of that message as she looked towards Xiao Yu and asked, ¡°Aunt Xiao Yu, do you know the headless horseman? You sound like you¡¯re pretty close to the headless horseman?¡±

    Xiao Yu was trying her best to suppress herughter as she answered, ¡°I guess we¡¯re pretty close. Actually, both of you know each other as well.¡±

    Those words caught Zhao Xue by surprise as she responded, ¡°Huh, how do you even know about my rtionship with the headless horseman?¡±

    Xiao Yu was simrly startled by Zhao Xue¡¯s response. A sudden realization dawned on her, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t they know about each other¡¯s apostle identity since they¡¯re siblings? Maybe I should just confirm by saying Zhao Yao¡¯s name?¡± However, her eyes darted towards the two suspicious characters ¨C Meng Hao and ck Panther- and chose not to verify using Zhao Yao¡¯s actual name.

    Hence, Xiao Yu replied with a nod of her head and the most ambiguous answer, ¡°Of course.¡±

    Zhao Xue let out a gasp before throwing her hand over her mouth, ¡°So both of you actually know each other?¡±

    Xiao Yu nodded her head and concluded, ¡°I guess she¡¯s referring to the fact that we know each other¡¯s real-life identities.¡±

    A slight hesitation shed across Zhao Xue¡¯s face before she finally opened her mouth, ¡°Has the headless horseman ever mentioned my name?¡±

    A frown crept up Xiao Yu¡¯s face as she slid Zhao Xue a weird re, ¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡±

    ¡°Is that the case?¡± Sadness clouded Zhao Xue¡¯s features as she pried, ¡°Not even once?¡±

    ck Panther decided to join the discussion as he eximed, ¡°Both of you know my master as well? I can¡¯t believe that the headless horseman has saved my life twice already! The headless horseman is truly the most righteous person I¡¯ve ever met in my life! I truly owe my life to the headless horseman!¡±

    Xiao Yu never expected so many people to have encountered the headless horseman.

    Suddenly, the widely-discussed headless horseman had re-appeared in front of everyone. Zhao Yao only came back because he realized that both his aunt and sister were still stranded on the rooftop. They would end up in the hands of the government if he left them there. Hence, he left the two Japanese in the belly temporarily beforeing to their rescue ...

    Naturally, Zhao Yao returned in his headless horseman persona, albeit with a change of clothes. Out of nowhere, a blinding light door appeared behind Zhao Yao which led to an abyss of darkness. Zhao Yao cautioned, ¡°The police havepletely surrounded this building. Use this door to escape.¡±

    Without asking a single question, the horde of them rushed through the door as if it were a ck Friday sales. Once inside, they were greeted by a mysterious sight. Obviously, Zhao Yao had already instructed Elizabeth to use her illusion to alter their surroundings.

    Tragic memories of his past encounter with the headless horseman remained deeply etched at the back of Meng Hao¡¯s head. However, Zhao Xue was right next to him. This was no time to chicken out. Hence, he mustered up all his courage before approaching Zhao Yao, ¡°Long time no see, headless horseman, I didn¡¯t expect to see you here today.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s pupils constricted into thin slits as he scrutinized his appearance from head to toe, before answering, ¡°Who are you?¡±

    ¡°...¡±

    The headless horseman¡¯s arrival was greeted by all sorts of expressions. As his most ardent and loyal supporter, Zhao Xue simply nodded her head before rushing to the door. This was followed by Xiao Yu, ck Panther, Noodle, Fish Ball and finally Nekomata. This meant that Meng Hao was the only one left. Despite his apprehension towards the headless horseman, he still gritted his teeth as he barged into this pair of mysterious door.

    They were transported to this mystical dimension the moment they set foot into it. They were brought to a long yet narrow passageway. This was the work of Elizabeth¡¯s illusion.

    One by one, they hurried down the passageway before arriving at another light door. One step into this light door and they found themselves stranded at another street 1000 meters away from their original position.

    ¡°Alright, all of you can now go back home to your parents. Do not let them worry. Bye!¡±, the headless horseman¡¯s voice echoed from behind.

    By the time they turned their heads around, Zhao Yao had long disappeared from the streets.

    Meng Hao tried to lighten the mood by announcing, ¡°Today marks an important day for our group. Why not wee together and discuss our ns for the future? I have a building in the vicinity. We can go over there and discuss ...¡±

    The rest didn¡¯t even bother to listen to what he had to say. They simply left halfway into his speech. Meng Hao could even see Xiao Yu and Zhao Xue disappearing into a nearby metro station.

    ck Panther remained in a state of confusion as he roared, ¡°Master Headless! Where are you, Master Headless? Don¡¯t leave me! I¡¯ming!¡±

    Now, even ck Panther had left. The only person left was Meng Hao, himself.

    A wave of helplessness swept over him as he watched all his friends leave. Overwhelmed with disappointment, he simply sauntered down the street with no destination in mind.

    On the other hand, Xiao Yu could finally breathe a sigh of relief now that all the outsiders were gone. She could finally rify the matter with Zhao Xue.

    However, before she could even open her mouth, Zhao Xue¡¯s clear and crisp voice rang in her head, ¡°Guang ... I mean the headless horseman is so cool.¡±

    Her mouth fell open when she heard Zhao Xue¡¯s description of her own brother. Xiao Yu couldn¡¯t wrap her head around why she insisted on calling Zhao Yao the headless horseman even though they were the only ones there. However, she reacted to the situation immediately, ¡°She sure is careful. After all, we are still outside, susceptible to the peering eyes and ears of the public.¡±

    Xiao Yu nodded her head and decided to y along to Zhao Xue¡¯s careful choice of words, ¡°Cool my ass! I bet the headless horseman is only here because of money! The headless horseman wouldn¡¯t have gotten so agitated if not for money.¡±

    Zhao Xue¡¯s whole face lit up the moment the headless horseman was mentioned as she eximed, ¡°Aunt, aren¡¯t you attracted to the headless horseman?¡±

    ¡°I would rather die a lonely death than to ever spend a single day with someone like the headless horseman.¡±

    Zhao Xue then replied in a somewhat jokingly manner, ¡°I would not think twice and choose the headless horseman if there is no one else in this world.¡±

    ¡°Oh my god, just the thought of it is enough to send shivers down my spine. Don¡¯t you find it slightly perverted to have such thoughts?¡±

    ¡°Not really,¡± Naturally, Xiao Yu¡¯s harsh words were starting to get on Zhao Xue¡¯s nerves, ¡°Actually, I apud such rtionships. Isn¡¯t this the true meaning of love? To fight for what you want despite societal norms? To continue to believe in what you believe in despite the naysayers?¡±

    Xiao Yu waspletely traumatized by Zhao Xue¡¯s words as images of her two nephew and niece flooded her mind. She muttered in her own head, ¡°Zhao Yao that scumbag! I¡¯ll not forgive him if he daresy a finger on his sister!¡±

    While Xiao Yu and Zhao Xue were engaged in their discussion, Fish Ball was still reveling from his sweet victory. Perched on top of Xiao Yu¡¯s head, he slid Noodle a disdainful re, ¡°Hey, useless dog. Did you see what just happened? I guess I, Fish Ball, am the unanimous MVP for the previous battle.¡±

    ¡°Hmph,¡± Noodle simply spat on the floor in response as he sneered, ¡°Your power can simply be reced by a stupid torchlight.¡±

    ¡°Oh my, do I hear jealousy and envying out from your words?¡± Beams of light began to shimmer all over Fish Ball¡¯s body as he eximed, ¡°Look! Can your stupid torchlight do this? Can itst as long as me? Can it continue to work without charging like me? Show me! Show me a torch that can work without batteries?¡±

    Noodle¡¯s lips drew back into a snarl as he threatened, ¡°I can kill you with one paw.¡±

    ¡°Haha, kill me? One paw? You are not only useless, you are even delusional! If I choose to, you won¡¯t even be able to look me in my eye!¡± Fish Ball bellowed inughter as he continued, ¡°Useless dog! You don¡¯t even have a single superpower! You are the most useless creature around!¡±

    Noodle quivered with indignation as he mustered every ounce of strength within him to activate his power. However, it was to no avail. Fish Ball¡¯s status as the most useless creature had been dethroned by Noodle the moment Xiao Yu learned about Nekomata¡¯s identity and power. Consequently, Fish Ball had been treating Noodle as if he were shit.

    ¡°Hey, Nekomata! Can you teach this stupid brat a lesson?¡± Noodle began to scream at Nekomata, ¡°This stupid cat is getting so cocky nowadays! God knows what kind of trouble he willnd himself in the future!¡±

    Nekomata concluded, ¡°Hmph, I guess it was the right decision to expose my own identity and jump onboard Zhao Yao¡¯s ship instead.¡± Nekomata had long grown numb to Noodle¡¯s incessantining as he replied, ¡°Fish Ball is a useful tool. You should maintain cordial rtionships with him. It will definitelye in handy one day.¡±

    A muscle in his jaw twitched as Noodle scoffed, ¡°All you cats know is to defend for one another! From the looks of it, the both of you are simply conspiring against me just because I¡¯m a dog!¡±

    Fish Ball chimed in eagerly, ¡°Stupid Nekomata! Did you just call me a tool?¡±

    A cordial grin immediately reflected off of Nekomata¡¯s face as he answered, ¡°Obviously, it¡¯s the cutest and most handsome and most attractive Fish Ball! You are truly the most important cat in the entire house!¡±

    A flush crept up his face as Fish Ball tried his best to hide his bashful smile, ¡°Hahaha, you tter me. I¡¯m really not that good¡±

    Meanwhile, Nekomata wasughing in his head, ¡°I¡¯ve never seen such a stupid cat in my life.¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, the job of cleaning up all the mess was entrusted to none other than Inspector Ho. Just the job of exining this anomaly to the public was troublesome enough. He had to somehow convince those reporters that it was simply a light show with some unexpected fireworks.

    Naturally, the government didn¡¯t want to openly admit the existence of superpower. Should they openly admit it, it would be analogous to opening a Pandora box as humans scattered across the nation in search of supercats. Apostles would even pounce on this opportunity to wreak havoc.

    The chaos created was simply unimaginable. Hence, they decided to keep their mouths sealed on any superpower-rted news, while constantly monitoring and keeping the apostles in check. This was to buy time for the citizens to one day ept and recognize their existence.

    Currently, Inspector Ho stood at Zhao Yao¡¯s original spot as he stared at the hole created by Zhao Yao which led all the way to the ceiling and into the night sky.

    Inspector Ho let out a sigh of despair as he muttered, ¡°This guy¡¯s ability is definitely growing stronger by the day.¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t say?¡± Lin Chen retorted, ¡°Our extreme speed team has already exceeded 500 personnel but our power growth is far slower than his! This guy is a real-life Super Saiyan!¡±

 Chapter 402: The Interrogation

    <h4>Chapter 402: The Interrogation</h4>

    The effects of the headless horseman¡¯s actions were far more outreaching than anyone could have imagined. Even the ordinary citizens started to poke their nose into it. After all, it¡¯s not every day that a building got destroyed overnight.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao could finally take a breather after saving Zhao Xue and the rest, but his job was not done yet. Ishida and Matsuo were still trapped inside his belly as they awaited his interrogation.

    As he was about to leave, he suddenly felt his back muscles twitch. The pain was unmistakable. Someone had stabbed him in his back and had punctured his kidney.

    Zhao Yao trembled with fury as he took a deep breath before sweeping his body around. He could literally feel his pulse mming in his neck when he saw the culprit. It was none other than his disciple, ck Panther, who stood rooted to the ground with his usual silly expression.

    However, something¡¯s not right. No one was supposed to see him since he was coated with Roly Poly¡¯s power of invisibility.

    ck Panther looked down at his own hand with grimace as he spoke embarrassedly, ¡°Master Headless, are you there? I¡¯m so sorry. It¡¯s because of my stupid power. It just forces me to stab my friends. I hope I didn¡¯t hurt you.¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately revealed himself as he slid ck Panther an exasperated nce, ¡°What more do you want from me?¡±

    Immediately, the grimace was wiped from his face as a radiant smile appeared, ¡°Master Headless! It¡¯s really you?¡±

    ¡°Just cut to the chase and tell me what you want. I¡¯m busy. By the way, what did you just call me?¡±

    ¡°Master Headless! The police told me that your name is brainless, but I thought it was rather derogatory so I changed it to headless!¡± Suddenly, he began to run his fingers through his hair anxiously as a flush crept up his face, ¡°Master Headless, the reason why I came to Jiangmen City is to join you in your efforts to maintain peace and order in the nation. I want to be the modern Robin Hood!¡±

    ¡°Brainless?¡± Zhao Yao sniggered, ¡°Inspector Ho, that brat ...¡± Zhao Yao eyed him from head to toe before saying, ¡°You should focus your energy on finding a good job instead of wasting your time on all these nonsense.¡± Before he even finished his statement, Zhao Yao¡¯s body had already disappeared from his sight, leaving ck Panther all alone in this foreignnd.

    Before he knew it, ck Panther had already activated his power once more as his razor-sharp dagger plunged into another victim¡¯s body.

    ¡°Ah!¡± Inspector Ho was overwhelmed with pain as he stumbled to the ground. He could not believe his eyes as he saw the hilt dangling from his belly, with a puddle of crimson-red blood umted on the ground. He screamed, ¡°Someone attacked the police!¡±

    Suddenly, tens of pistols surrounded ck Panther with their muzzles pointing straight at him. They shouted in unison, ¡°Stop!¡±

    ck Panther looked towards Inspector Ho with his brows slightly furrowed. He whispered, ¡°But he isn¡¯t even my friend.¡± Left with no options, ck Panther simply called for the only person who could possibly save him, ¡°Master Headless! Master Headless! I want to be the Robin to your Batman as we continue to uphold justice in the world! Let me join you as your disciple! I¡¯m at XXXX!¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao was rolling on the floor as he struggled to restrain his roar ofughter. He muttered, ¡°And you thought your power of teleportation was good? It can never be as fast as my timefreeze!¡± Actually, Zhao Yao was the culprit behind this. When ck Panther was about to stab him, he immediately activated timefreeze before moving Inspector Ho to his original position.

    Inspector Ho pressed against his wound in an effort to stop the bleeding. His face glistened with sweat as he slid ck Panther a hateful re, ¡°You are so ruthless.¡±

    The same innocent expression remained on ck Panther¡¯s face as he replied, ¡°I really had no intentions to stab you!¡±

    After watching this hrious show, Zhao Yao simply left his front-row seat as he made his way home. After a brief rest, he returned to his belly for his interrogation.

    The scene inside the belly looked like a scene taken straight from the Game of Thrones series. Zhao Yao was resting on his ¡®iron throne¡¯ with Matcha resting in his arms as he raked his fingers slowly through his fur. Roly Poly was resting on his shoulder like a faux fur scarf, not forgetting to turn Zhao Yao¡¯s head invisible.

    Meanwhile, Ishida was kneeling at the foot of his throne. The expression on his face struck the perfect bnce between humbleness and regret.

    Zhao Yao slipped him a curious nce before asking, ¡°Speak. Tell me everything that happened.¡±

    Ishida thought about it and decided to selectively censor some information. He purposely avoided topics on why he came to China but instead revolved his story around Matsuo. He began by saying, ¡°The person with the power to turn into a ghost is Matsuo. He is the owner of the peer to peer lending tform. I¡¯m only here because he is willing ...¡±

    With his impable storytelling skills, Zhao Yao had gotten a grasp of what happened. The person kneeling before him was Ishida. He was just a pawn in the greater scheme of things. The true mastermind was Matsuo who wielded the power to manipte ghosts.

    However, Matsuo had decided to hide by switching to ghost form. He refused to reveal himself despite the threats and warnings thrown at him.

    In reality, Matsuo was floating next to Ishida right now. Anger seared through his body as he stared at this ungrateful man, ¡°This stupid b*stard with no backbone. How dare he tell on me?¡±

    Matsuo¡¯s anger was so palpable that it managed to send shivers running down Ishida¡¯s spine. In response, Ishida immediately copsed to the ground with his palms firmly sped together and prayed, ¡°Matsuo, do not me me for my actions. It is futile to resist the moment we¡¯ve set foot in this ce. The more you resist, the worst the oue.¡± Matsuo¡¯s agony was almost tangible, and Ishida couldn¡¯t help feeling it was too raw for him to fake. Ishida continued, ¡°Stop resisting. The cats here are crazy. You can never escape!¡±

    Matsuo was hiding in a corner with a sly grin stered on his face, ¡°Unlike you, I¡¯m not a piece of trash. There¡¯s nothing they can do to me.¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao had pondered about the situation for quite some time before deciding to bait the opponent using his illusion.

    Firstly, his power of ¡®five senses deprivation¡¯ swept across the entire belly. Then, he slowly sauntered across the ce. However, he still couldn¡¯t locate Matsuo¡¯s position.

    ¡°Hmph,¡± Zhao Yao began to stroke his chin thoughtfully as he pondered, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that Matsuo managed to slip through my fingers? However, I¡¯m 100% sure that I covered all possible grounds with that three gates. Based on his trajectory, there¡¯s no way he could have escaped.¡±

    Meanwhile, Roly Poly managed to breathe a sigh of relief as he uttered, ¡°Thank goodness. Matsuo, you must hang in there. Do not get caught. As long as this guy manages to escape, I¡¯ll be able to escape from my debt as well!¡±

    Suddenly, a glimmer shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes as he concluded, ¡°There can only be three possible scenarios. Firstly, he didn¡¯t enter. Secondly, he was unaffected by the illusion. Lastly ... his original form is a ghost.

    By using ¡®five senses deprivation¡¯, Zhao Yao only managed to rob individuals of their five senses. In Nekomata¡¯s case, he was robbed of the ability to maintain his spirit power, hence he would revert to his original flesh form. If Matsuo was a ghost all along, I wouldn¡¯t be able to see him even if he¡¯s robbed of his five senses.¡±

    Matsuo instantly regained consciousness the moment Zhao Yao¡¯s power was lifted. He began to float around as his mouth curved into a smile, ¡°Dumb human! Your illusion is powerless against me! You won¡¯t be able to capture me even if 24 hours go by! That¡¯s because I¡¯m a ghost!¡±

    Even when Xiao Yu wielded ¡®five senses deprivation¡¯, it only managed to put a stop to the ghosts¡¯ onught. It never managed to truly purge the ghosts summoned by Matsuo orpel these ghosts to revert to their flesh and blood form.

    ¡°This is rather tricky. I¡¯ll just wait for 24 hours to pass first,¡± Zhao Yao muttered as he propped his chin on his hand, ¡°If he doesn¡¯t appear at the end of the 24 hours, I can rule out the possibility that he¡¯s unaffected by illusion. Then, I¡¯ll get Nekomata to take a look. With his power, he should be able to sense or even detect his presence. If all fails, that simply means that I didn¡¯t manage to capture him.¡±

    Anyway, there was nothing Matsuo could do if he maintained in his ghost form. Furthermore, the extradimensional belly gates were only essible to Zhao Yao and Dust Ball. Hence, Zhao Yao decided to return home and wait out the 24 hours.

    In the middle of a night, a giant shadow secretly crept up to Dust Ball with his huge frame looming over her. He then bent next to her before patting gently on her back.

    Dust Ball struggled to open her eyes, only to see Roly Poly. She asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    Roly Poly spoke in his most humble and polite tone, ¡°Hey, Dust Ball, please let me enter the Cat Nation.¡±

    ¡°Why are you going in there in the middle of the night?¡± Dust Ball asked nonchntly, ¡°Zhao Yao said that no one is allowed to enter or leave the ce except for me and him.¡±

    Unbeknownst to them, another furry shadow was hiding behind a wall, eavesdropping on their conversation. This was none other than Matcha.

    With his eyes squinted into a hard line, Matcha monitored each and every action between Roly Poly and Dust Ball. A thought urred in his head, ¡°What the hell is that kid up to? I¡¯ll have to expose your ploy even if I have to put my illustrious George name on the line!¡±

    Meanwhile, Roly Poly reached for his phone before gesturing Dust Ball to do the same. A stream of numbers scurried across Dust Ball¡¯s screen. Immediately, beams of excitement shout out of her eyes as she nodded her head contentedly, ¡°Alright, you may enter. However, I¡¯m only giving you 30 minutes. If Zhao Yao finds out, both of us are dead.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be out in an instant.¡±

    From his corner, Matcha watched as Roly Poly disappeared into the light door. A sudden seriousness plummeted through Matcha, ¡°Hmph, entering the extradimensional belly in the middle of the night? What is he up to?¡±

    Each second that passed felt like an entire eternity. Yet, Roly Poly was still not out. Matcha could only switch to n B as he approached Dust Ball, ¡°Dust Ball, may I enter the extradimensional belly?¡±

    ¡°No, Zhao Yao has made it clear that no one is supposed to enter the extradimensional belly.¡±

    mes of anger shot through Matcha when faced with this unfair treatment. Suddenly, two contrasting thoughts swept through his head.

    ¡°Should I just confront her straight on and threaten her about letting Roly Poly in? No. Given her personality, this will simply end up in a bloodbath.¡±

    ¡°How about bribing her? I believe she only allowed Roly Poly to enter after he sent her some money.¡±

    ¡°Hey, but I¡¯m Matcha, George Matcha, first of his name, the one true heir to the caf¨¦! Do I really need to stoop to such means?¡±

    With this thought at the back of his head, Matcha took a step towards Dust Ball with a mysterious expression. He tore a pawful of fur from his body and presented it to her, ¡°Let me enter. I¡¯ll give you all of these if you let me pass.¡±

    Dust Ball slid the strands of yellow fur a condescending re before sneering, ¡°Get lost.¡±

    ¡°Tsk, even my fur doesn¡¯t work?¡± Her heartless response filled Matcha with indignation as he left. Suddenly, a glimmer of brilliance shed across his eyes as Matcha bolted towards the living room. His chubby body slid across the granite floor beforeing to a halt right under the sofa, ¡°It should be here!¡±

    Momentster, Matcha reappeared with that same mysterious look on his face. He pressed his face towards Dust Ball and whispered, ¡°How about this?¡±

    Her eyes were naturally drawn to the object in his paws.

    To Dust Ball¡¯s disappointment, it was just two grains of rotten cat food in Matcha¡¯s paws.

    Matcha announced unabashedly, ¡°Look! This is cat grain passed down from the Tang dynasty! It¡¯s worth millions and millions. I¡¯ll give it to you if you let me enter.¡±

    Dust Ball had enough of Matcha¡¯s nonsense and reciprocated by opening her mouth.

    Poom! Immediately, an avnche of cat litter exploded from it as it swarmed over Matcha. There was even a hint of sourness in it.

    Matcha let out a shriek before disappearing into a corner. He only managed to get rid of that appalling smell after some intense licking. With the vicious look on his face, he approached Dust Ball with a phone dangling from his lips.

    Left with no options, Matcha adopted the safer approach. After transferring Dust Ball the money, he walked towards her with unbridled confidence oozing from his body, ¡°I¡¯ve given you five RMB, is that enough? Can I finally enter now?¡±

    Matcha couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°I never wanted to resort to this measure. Even though this measly amount is nothing in my eyes, I absolutely abhor this world which only knows the price of everything and value of nothing. It¡¯s preposterous and disgusting! Sometimes, I just want to go back to the past where I could live a life, free from these vile thoughts and ideas. ¡±

    Dust Ball looked at the amount and was terribly disappointed by it. It was nothingpared to what Roly Poly had given her. Hence, she opened the light door with a disdainful look, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll let you enter but you only have one minute.¡±

    ¡°One minute? What can I possibly do in one minute?¡± Matcha¡¯s body quivered with indignation as he continued, ¡°You are so greedy! RMB five for one minute? Do you know what you can do with that amount? You can live like a king for the rest of your life with it!¡±

    ¡°You are getting on my nerves. It¡¯s either you go in or you get lost.¡± Dust Ball even threatened by motioning to shut the light door.

    ¡°Alright, alright, one minute it is!¡± Matcha pounced forward in order to stop her from sealing the door. He then squeezed past the tiny gap as he grumbled, ¡°Extravagant, this is simply too extravagant.¡±

    Again, someone was secretly observing this exchange between the two of them. Elizabeth¡¯s eyes were glued to this intriguing scene unfolding right before her.

    ¡°Hmph, is this a mutiny? Zhao Yao has clearly stated that no one should enter the extradimensional belly. What the hell is that Matcha up to now?¡±

    Dust Ball immediately shut the light door the moment Matcha disappeared into it. However, it was about to be a long night for her. A white furry figure began to prance towards her as a gigantic shadow loomed over.

    Before Elizabeth could even open her mouth, Dust Ball had already beaten her to it, ¡°It¡¯s five for a minute, 200 for 30 minutes and 1000 for an entire night.¡±

    Elizabeth¡¯s brows snapped together when she heard that ridiculous price, ¡°What is this? It¡¯s daylight robbery! The customers are only willing to spend RMB 100 for a stupid coffee after raping me with their filthy hands!¡± Naturally, Elizabeth was reluctant to fork out a single cent. She had other tricks up her sleeve. Suddenly, that same red glimmer shed across her eyes.

    Immediately, Dust Ball had lost control over her body as the shining light door appeared before them.

    However, Dust Ball instantly regained controls over her body the moment Elizabeth entered the belly. With her adept control over it, Dust Ball began screaming at her at the top of her voice, ¡°How dare you enter without paying? I can simply throw you out by force!¡±

    ¡°If you insist on doing that, I¡¯ll simply resort to telling Zhao Yao the truth! We shall see who will be the one getting thestugh!¡± Elizabeth¡¯s words were like arrows raining down on Dust Ball. Finally, she kept her mouth shut. She knew that she would only be on the losing end since she had already allowed Roly Poly and Matcha to enter.

    Elizabeth¡¯s intent eyes immediately swept across the ce before noticing a fat cat hiding in a small gap between two containers. It seemed like he was spying on someone.

    Elizabeth immediately sprung onto a nearby cat bed and began her own reconnaissance mission.

    Currently, Matcha was hiding in an elusive spot with his eyes glued to Roly Poly.

    Roly Poly stood opposite Ishida with a phone dangling from his lips.

    Ishida squat next to him and noticed a few gleaming words printed on the screen, ¡°Are you Ishida? I¡¯m the cat in charge of this ce. Now that you are here, what ns do you have in the future?¡±

    This question caught Ishida off guard. To err on the side of caution, he decided to rify some terms, ¡°What exactly do you mean by future ns?¡±

    Roly Poly instantly threw the phone against the ground before his stubby paws darted across the tiny screen. He then picked it up from the ground before shoving it in Ishida¡¯s face, ¡°How much do you know about the lending tform? Do you know who Zhao Yao is?¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao?¡± Ishida¡¯s eyes went wide when he heard those two words. He purposely left out his purpose foring to Jiangmen City in order to steer clear of trouble. However, there seemed to be no way out with this question thrown at him.

    Matcha, which was wedged in the tiny gap between the containers, stared intently at this scene and whispered, ¡°Caught red-handed? How dare you try to collude with this criminal?¡± He immediately whipped out his phone to snap a photograph. However, a familiar voice rang in his head.

    ¡°Hey, your one minute is up! Do you want to extend your timing? If not, I¡¯ll have to force you out!¡±

    Matcha screamed in response, ¡°That was barely a minute! I¡¯ll be out the moment I get that photo! Just be patient.¡±

    ¡°No, there is no room for discussion. You leave the moment your time is up.¡±

    Matcha could literally feel a suction force slowly wrapping around his body as it lifted him off the ground. Sweat beaded his forehead as Matcha relented, ¡°Alright, alright! I¡¯ll transfer you the money when I¡¯m out.¡± Actually, he was sniggering in his head, ¡°Only a fool will transfer you the money when he is out.¡±

    However, the suction force did not subside. Instead, it grew even stronger. Dust Ball exined, ¡°There is wifi inside my belly. Transfer the money to me now or I¡¯ll throw you out.¡±

    ¡°D*mn it, that niggard.¡± Matha¡¯s paw darted across his screen before tapping on the wifi button. Transacting that money over was like cutting a piece of his own meat and giving it away. Pain seared through him as he screamed, ¡°Give me another minute!¡±

    Matcha¡¯s abnormal behavior got Elizabeth all curious, ¡°What is he doing? Did hee in here to y his stupid phone games?¡±

    After transferring the money over, Matcha immediately switched over to the camera function and recorded evidence of Roly Poly¡¯s mutiny.

    Meanwhile, Ishida nibbled on his bottom lip before finally answering Roly Poly. With his earnest gaze staring right at Roly Poly, he exined, ¡°I¡¯m just an ordinary person hired by the lending tform. I¡¯ve heard of the name Zhao Yao, but there¡¯s not much that I know about him. Is he an apostle?¡±

    On Roly Poly¡¯s end, she detected another presence inching towards her as a shadow loomed over. She didn¡¯t even bother to turn her head and offered, ¡°Ten for an hour, five hundred for half an hour, and two thousand for the entire night.¡±

    Rice Cake was trembling with fury when she heard that exorbitant sum, ¡°Wasn¡¯t it just RMB five for a minute just now?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Can¡¯t I increase the price?¡± Dust Ball interrupted Rice Cake¡¯s protest.

    Rice Cake¡¯s eyes were riveted to Dust Ball and it was filled with anger and indignation. She muttered, ¡°Roly Poly, Matcha, and Elizabeth are all gone. We were supposed to y PUBG together!¡± Rice Cake had spent thest ten minutes in her futile search for her teammates. Only one possibility remained: they were in cat nation.

    Dust Ball asked again, ¡°So are you going in or not? I can¡¯t guarantee that the price will stay the same a minuteter.¡±

    Fury blinded her as she made the decision, ¡°I¡¯ll just pretend that I¡¯ve fed my money to some crazy dog.¡±

    ...

    Roly Poly could feel that immense weight lifted off his tiny shoulder when those reassuring words echoed in his head.

    Ishida noticed the change in his expression and muttered, ¡°This cat seems rather gullible.¡± Hence, he continued by saying, ¡°Actually, I have some money stored in my bank ount. To express my heartfelt apology, I¡¯m willing to share with you my bank ount and password and my hotel room number. My debit card and credit card are all there. There should be approximately RMB 1,000,000.¡±

    Roly Poly could literally feel his heart pounding against his chest when that astronomical sum was mentioned, ¡°RMB 1,000,000? How much is that?¡± His tiny brain couldn¡¯t evenprehend just how much it was. He simply concluded that it was arge sum.

    ¡°I no longer have to cower in apprehension for fear that Zhao Yao might learn about the money I borrowed using his name. This fortune willst me a lifetime!¡±

    Even though he had already extracted the vital information, Roly Poly did not stop with his questioning, ¡°I guess you have a way to contact the boss behind the lending tform. He should technically be hiding in this ce as well.¡±

    He continued by typing a string of words on the phone, ¡°If you can contact him, tell him these six words. Do not respond to Zhao Yao! Do not respond to Zhao Yao!¡±

    Meanwhile, Matcha was happily taking photos with the fervor of a paparazzi snapping footages of the most recent scandals, ¡°I bet they¡¯re up to something evil! Just look at that sly smile on their face. I¡¯ll extort him using all these photos! After that, I¡¯ll betray him by giving these photos to Zhao Yao. From today onwards, he will be the abandoned prince that no one ever talks about.¡±

    Suddenly, that same irritating voice rang once more in his head, ¡°You have run out of value in your ount. If you wish to extend your stay, please transfer the money over to Dust Ball.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s voice exploded with fury when he heard those words. However, this was no time to quit. Things were starting to get exciting. Hence, he gritted his teeth before transferring the third RMB five to Dust Ball, ¡°At this rate, the kingdom¡¯s vault will be empty! Never mind, I¡¯ll overflow it with money with all these juicy photos.¡±

    Suddenly, Matcha was ovee with a wave of fear. He detected an anomaly in the surroundings, ¡°Hmph, which a*shole is staring at me, behind my back?¡±

    Elizabeth¡¯s clear blue eyes squinted into a hard line as she thought, ¡°Hmph, I guess he has finally noticed my presence. I¡¯ll give it to him, his instincts are not bad.¡± However, that same wave of fear came crashing into Elizabeth, ¡°This feeling, who is staring at me?¡±

    Rice Cake who was hidden within the vast catmint fields was struck with that same hunch, ¡°Not bad, Elizabeth ... wait, someone is staring at me. Who is it?¡±

    Lightning¡¯s body was scrunched into a tiny ball, camouged amidst the rows ofputer, ¡°Hmph, noticed me already? What is she doing here at this time? How could she abandon me for something good? Hmph ...¡± Suddenly, Lightning¡¯s body gave a quick shudder, ¡°This feeling ...¡±

    Another violent tremor pulsated through his body as Lightning groaned, ¡°D*mn it, I thought I just peed minutes ago. Why do I have to pee again?¡±

    Baiquan was also inside the belly. By adjusting his breathing to fit the natural frequency of the surroundings, he hadpletely blended in with it. He watched as Lightning scurried off to a corner and muttered, ¡°All the cats in the apartment suddenly disappeared except for this fe right here. Luckily, I managed to stalk him here. What the hell is going on?¡±

    All of a sudden, that same feeling seized Baiquan as he stood rooted to the ground, ¡°Hmph, this voice sounds so ...¡±

    The voice which rang in Baiquan¡¯s ears was none other than the default voice assistant, ¡°You have run out of credits. Immediately transfer the money to Dust Ball if you wish to extend your stay.¡±

    This was heaven. Dust Ball couldn¡¯t believe her eyes when she saw the amount of money in her ount, ¡°From now on, I¡¯m a wealthy cat. I no longer have to toil on the ground to take care of my catmint field. I¡¯ll simply hire a few cats to do it on my behalf. Actually, why didn¡¯t Ie up with this idea sooner? From now on, whoever wishes to enter the belly would have to pay me.¡±

    Then, disaster struck, ¡°Hmph, what is this feeling? Why do I have this intense urge to shit?¡± Dust Ball cocked her head up only to see Mango staring straight at her. Mango was inplete agony because of the intense stomachache.

    ¡°Ahh...¡± Dust Ball could literally feel her strength evaporating from her body as she copsed to the cold hard ground, ¡°This is not a feeling. I really need to use the toilet.¡± Her eyes swept towards a particr corner of the living room, ¡°D*mn it, who the hell used Mango¡¯s toilet?¡±

    At the same time, Zhao Yao was lying on his bed with his eyes wide open. Those pair of bloodshot eyes could only mean one thing.

    Because of Mango¡¯s unique power, Zhao Yao had specially dedicated a cat toilet just for Mango¡¯s use. This allowed him to shit and pee whenever he felt like it.

    Some inconsiderate cat had used Mango¡¯s toilet earlier today, resulting in this disaster. The toilet was still in the midst of its self-cleaning process and Mango had nowhere to turn to.

    ¡°D*mn it! If Mango had already activated his power, that means Zhao Yao is also ...¡±

    Dust Ball could feel the ice cold wind sweeping across the living room as the temperature plummeted. She felt the cold spreading through every inch and corner of her body. Fear paralyzed her for she knew that hell was about to break loose. She turned around and was greeted by those devil-like eyes. It was the devil himself floating out of his bedroom.

    ¡°Are you ... tired of living?¡±

    Dust Ball peed on the floor the moment she heard those words. Her body copsed against the ground and started to shudder violently. With her teeth ttering against each other, she eximed, ¡°It¡¯s their fault! Matcha, Roly Poly, Elizabeth, Rice Cake, Lightning, Baiquan did it! It¡¯s none of my business. I just yed an insignificant role in it! It¡¯s not me!¡±

    Momentster, an ear-piercing shriek punctured the air inside cat nation, ¡°Zhao Yao is awake!¡±

 Chapter 405: âˆž

    <h4>Chapter 405: ¡Þ</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Complete chaos dawned on cat nation the moment Dust Ball¡¯s scream reverberated through it.

    ¡°Ah!!!¡± Random electric sparks bounced along Lightning¡¯s furry skin, morphing him into an instant furball. He muttered repeatedly, ¡°He cannot see me, he cannot see me!¡±

    Meow! Every single shred of muscle within Rice Cake began to vibrate. No one had ever seen Rice Cake vibrate this long and with such intensity. It was as if she had lost control over her movements. Her body simply slid from one end to another because of the ceaseless vibration.

    Elizabeth pounced on Matcha with one paw pressing against his fat cheek, ¡°I came here to catch this stupid Matcha!¡±

    Immediately, Matcha¡¯s stubby paws went straight for the gallery button but he just couldn¡¯t seem to reach it with his shaking paws, ¡°I ...I ... I ...I¡± All he managed to say were the four ¡®I¡¯s.

    Meow! Another ear-splitting shriek erupted from another corner of the belly. Roly Poly had pounced into the air before executing a hairmercial head flick before copsing to the ground. With his paws pressing against his chest, heid motionlessly against the ground. It seemed as if he had fainted.

    Suddenly, his rear paws gave a quick twitch before some white gas escaped from his mouth.

    Roly Poly muttered to himself, ¡°I¡¯m so stupid, really. Why am I so stupid?¡±

    Baiquan let out an awkwardugh before wiping the cold sweat beading his forehead, ¡°Isn¡¯t it just our boss? What¡¯s there to be afraid of?¡±

    ¡°Oh, really?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s thunderous voice exploded in the belly. Baiquan felt the strength in his leg evaporate as it copsed to the ground.

    He turned his head around and was greeted by a pair of bloodshot eyes. A body of ck gas enveloped Zhao Yao as he sauntered towards them. He looked like a demon from hell.

    Of course, Zhao Yao still remembered to put on a mask to conceal his identity in front of their Japanese friends.

    Baiquan struggled towards Zhao Yao and rified, ¡°Boss, I just came in here to check on the situation. I was just about to leave and report to you.¡±

    ¡°No more end of year bonus for you.¡±

    With that, Zhao Yao snapped his fingers which sent his deflective field sweeping in all directions. Sphynx Cat¡¯s original cage began to vibrate before they levitated into the sky. With a loud nk, the cage had turned into five horrific crucifixes. The five crucifixes stood on the ground, side by side, producing an ominous aura.

    ¡°Do you think that what I said was a joke? What if that stupid ghost possessed your body and used it to escape this ce?¡±

    ¡°Also, who is that r*tard who used Mango¡¯s toilet?¡±

    The deflective field then reached out for the five cats before levitating them into the air and transported them to their individual crucifix. The metal ends of the crucifix began to contort as they fastened the cats¡¯ bodies to it.

    However, the interrogation had barely begun. With the five crucified cats in ce, Zhao Yao channeled his timefreeze abilities.

    Lightning had already peed all over himself, with his fur drenched in pee. He screamed for dear life, ¡°It wasn¡¯t me! I was forced to do this!¡±

    Rice Cake just continued to vibrate in his new position, albeit less violently. A trickle of saliva was dangling from the corner of her lips. Evidently, she was scared silly by Zhao Yao¡¯s rampage.

    A pool of white long fur rested at the foot of Elizabeth¡¯s crucifix. She tried topose herself as she retorted, ¡°Zhao Yao, I only came in here to capture Matcha!¡±

    Matcha was stammering non-stop, ¡°I, I, I, I, I ... did, did, did, did, ... Ro, Ro, Ro, Ro.¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s eyes were devoid of any spirit or strength. He continued to whisper to himself, ¡°Why am I so stupid?¡±

    Zhao Yao retrieved a water gun from his pocket before taking turns shooting the five victims in their face, ¡°One at a time! Stop screaming!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s brows snapped together when he noticed how Rice Cake had already vibrated beyond control. With another jet of water spurted over Rice Cake¡¯s face, Zhao Yao bellowed, ¡°Stop vibrating, you are making me dizzy!¡±

    ¡°I ... I ... I can¡¯t stop.¡±

    Zhao Yao slid her a condescending re before fixing his eyes on Elizabeth. With another jet of water sprayed on Elizabeth, he demanded, ¡°Control her and make her stop!¡±

    All this while, Airne was hiding in a corner as he watched this disaster unfold. He couldn¡¯t believe his eyes as he muttered, ¡°This is brutal.¡±

    He was not the only cat amongst the audience. Caesar had already wrapped his paws around his daughter¡¯s eyes as he warned, ¡°Don¡¯t look at it, this is simply too horrific.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s gaze swept past all five prosecuted cats before he announced, ¡°Let¡¯s start with the first problem. Who used Mango¡¯s toilet?¡±

    Naturally, all five cats shook their head in response.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s lips curled into an evil grin. He pranced towards them before ncing at each of the five butts. After all, he had spent hisst 10 years wiping after their butts. Naturally, he knew who used the toilet by just looking at their butt.

    Immediately, he identified the culprit.

    ¡°Lightning!¡± Zhao Yao slid Lightning a frosty look before confronting him, ¡°You were the only one who used the toilet recently!¡±

    ¡°Ah!¡± He fought back the tears that welled up in his eyes as he justified his actions, ¡°I didn¡¯t do it on purpose! It was too dark! I had no idea I went to the wrong one! By the time I realized it was already toote!¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ll settle this when we get back.¡± With another gush of water sprayed on his face, Zhao Yao continued, ¡°Why then did youe to the belly?¡±

    Lightning rified, ¡°I realized that all the cats were gone when I went to the toilet. Finally, I noticed Rice Cake disappearing into this ce. That¡¯s why I decided to tag along and find out more.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s cold gaze then drifted towards Rice Cake. She immediately screamed, ¡°I came because I saw Elizabeth enter!¡±

    Elizabeth responded with the same excuse, ¡°I entered because I saw Matcha enter!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes then drifted towards Matcha, which continued to stammer, ¡°I ... I... I.. I came because I saw Roly Poly enter!¡±

    Finally, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes rested on that fat cat. He started off with another jet of water sprayed on his face, ¡°Why did youe in here?¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s eyes simply stared nkly in front of him. He continued to mutter, ¡°I¡¯m stupid. I¡¯m really stupid.¡±

    A line etched between Zhao Yao¡¯s brows as he muttered, ¡°This stupid cat ...trying to act dumb?¡± He noticed Roly Poly¡¯s phone resting on the ground and decided to take a look. A glimmer of fury shed across his eyes as he scanned the contents.

    He then turned his head towards Ishida, ¡°You could have been more truthful to me. You could have just told me that you wanted to leave. I would have escorted you out myself if you gave me that money.¡±

    Fear crossed his face as Ishida nodded his head obediently, ¡°I understand.¡± However, there seemed to be a silver lining. From the looks of it, Zhao Yao wasn¡¯t bent on taking his life. RMB 1,000,000 might seem like an astronomical sum, but it was still better than death.

    Zhao Yao sauntered towards Roly Poly with the phone dangling by his fingertips, ¡°Roly Poly, I believe I¡¯ve treated you rather well.¡±

    The fierce aura exhaled from Zhao Yao jolted Roly Poly from his semi-unconsciousness. However, it was all toote. Zhao Yao was already standing opposite him with the contents of his betrayal shed across the screen. Fear was like a snake which slithered up his throat, constricting it, preventing him from saying anything. He almost fainted again.

    However, he managed topose himself and exined, ¡°Zhao Yao, you must listen to me. I can exin ...¡±

    Zhao Yao had no time for this nonsense. He simply shot another mouthful of water into Roly Poly¡¯s mouth the moment he opened it. This continued for another 10 to 15 seconds.

    Finally, Zhao Yao lowered his gun and asked, ¡°What brought you here?¡¯

    In the midst of constructing his story, Zhao Yao¡¯s voice rang in his head, ¡°You only have one chance. If you lie to me today, that¡¯ll be thest thing you ever do in your life.¡±

    Shiver ran down Roly Poly¡¯s spine as an rm rang in his head. With so much at stake, he dared not to lie. He then recounted his entire experience with the lending tform.

    Zhao Yao nodded along to the story and replied, ¡°So that¡¯s all? All you did was simply use Zhao Xue and my identity to borrow some money from unlicensed moneylenders? To hide the truth from us, you took his money and even told that ghost to hide from me? This is nothing much, nothing much at all.¡±

    Tears of joy streamed down Roly Poly¡¯s chubby cheeks as he asked, ¡°Really? Zhao Yao, does that mean you¡¯ve forgiven me?¡±

    Momentster, Roly Poly saw a blurry Zhao Yao appearing right in front of him before a giant p came crashing towards his face.

    Bam! Roly Poly¡¯s head exploded as his innards flew in all directions with his blood scattered across the ground. All that was left was the blood-stained crucifix.

    Matcha fainted the moment he witnessed this scene.

    Rice Cake¡¯s vibration resumed at an even greater intensity.

    Not only did Lightning pee on himself, he even shat on himself.

    However, Zhao Yao lifted the illusion momentster and revealed apletely intact Roly Poly attached to his crucifix.

    However, he looked different. His jaws went ck. He didn¡¯t even move a single inch. The floor was umted with all his fur.

    ¡°Hmph, I¡¯ve forgiven you.¡±

    Roly Poly finally managed to breathe a sigh of relief when those reassuring words echoed in his head. He could finally calm down.

    However, Zhao Yao continued by saying, ¡°However, you still have to pay for your mistake. It¡¯s just that I abhor physical punishment.¡±

    Roly Poly responded by nodding his head furiously, ¡°Yes, yes. Physical punishment is truly too violent. We are civilized human and cats. We do not have to resort to physical punishment.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s settle this with money then.¡± Zhao Yao whipped out his phone and recounted, ¡°How much did you borrow from them? You also thought of taking RMB 1,000,000 from Ishida right? Let me count ...¡±

    Worry snaked through him as he shivered with fear, ¡°There were at least some rules when it came to the loan from the Japanese. God knows how much I am going to owe Zhao Yao.¡±

    However, Roly Poly had been through so much over the past week. What could Zhao Yao possibly do to him other than force him to pay back? Hence, he convinced himself that there was nothing much to worry.

    Finally, Zhao Yao shed his phone screen in his face, ¡°This number.¡±

    A giant horizontal ¡®8¡¯ stared straight at him. Roly Poly could literally feel the immense weight lifted off his back, ¡°RMB eight? That¡¯s great. But Zhao Yao, I think there¡¯s something wrong with your eight. Shouldn¡¯t it be vertical?¡±

    Zhao Yao responded with a shook of his head, ¡°Oh, it isn¡¯t eight. It¡¯s infinity.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 406: Crucified Cats</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    ¡°Huh?¡± Roly Poly couldn¡¯t believe his ears. The pit of his stomach fell as the word, infinity, continued to echo in his head. Struggling to no avail, he eximed, ¡°Are you sure you calcted correctly?¡±

    ¡°Of course, if I include the potential medical fees I have to incur from the physical and mental ordeal, infinity sounds about right.¡±

    Disappointment sagged through Roly Poly as he muttered, ¡°That means I can never repay the debt which I owe you?¡±

    ¡°Not necessarily. My infinity is a subjective term which changes ording to my mood. If you make me happy,¡± Zhao Yao started to stroke his chin thoughtfully, ¡°The sum can be reduced to just a few RMB. You might be able to repay your debt in no time.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Roly Poly could literally see the silver lining beyond the clouds. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized just how forgiving Zhao Yao was.

    Suddenly, the smile was wiped from Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he replied sternly, ¡°Obviously not.¡±

    ¡°As for the rest of you ...¡± Zhao Yao started to eyeball the remaining cats. His intent gaze was reciprocated with the most amiable smile.

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to return me any money, but a physical punishment is still necessary. All of you will stay on your crucifix for the next three days.¡± With a snap of his fingers, a wave of ¡®five sense deprivation¡¯ had already swept to every nook and cranny of the belly. He then instructed Dust Ball to expel those crucified cats out of the belly.

    The primary reason for using ¡®five senses deprivation¡¯ was to prevent the burdensome ghost from escaping.

    With that, five crucified cats stood in the living room, adorning the ce.

    As usual, Mango began prancing around the room as his eager gaze met the five crucified cats. Meanwhile, worry continued to gnaw at Dust Ball as she wiped the sweat off of her forehead, ¡°Thankfully I only collected a token sum from them. From the looks of it, Zhao Yao had already forgotten about it.¡±

    ¡°Dust Ball!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s roar scared the living daylights out of Dust Ball as she jumped to her feet and responded, ¡°Yes?¡±

    ¡°I won¡¯t crucify you like the rest of them because you have to clean up after these fools for the next three days. You will clean them, feed them and clean their shit. Understand?¡±

    She wanted to turn down Zhao Yao so badly but she couldn¡¯t. Hence, she simply nodded her head and agreed.

    Hanako was greeted by this peculiar scene the second morning ¨C five crucified cats standing in the living room. She pped a hand over her mouth and screamed, ¡°What happened to all of them? And where did this white cate from?¡±

    With two tiny shreds of tissue paper stuffed up her tiny nostrils, Dust Ball began to push a bowl of cat litter towards Matcha. She instructed, ¡°Stop wasting my time and just shit. I still have to feed all of you.¡±

    Matcha took a deep breath before exerting with all his might, but it was to no avail. Nothing came out. Despondency sagged through him as hemented, ¡°This is a work of nature. I can¡¯t simply force it out. I need the feels to do it.¡±

    ¡°Oh, the white cat over there is Roly Poly. I decided to dye his fur white.¡± Zhao Yao slid the five cats a condescending re before responding to Hanako¡¯s question, ¡°The five of them came to my bedst night and started to shit all over it. Hence, they will be crucified for the next three days as punishment.¡±

    ¡°Oh my god, that¡¯s disgusting!¡± Hanako dared not imagine how Zhao Yao survived the previous night, ¡°What happened to your bed then?¡±

    ¡°I have already thrown the mattress and nket away. The new one should be delivered soon.¡± Zhao Yao then whipped out his phone and started sifting through the local news.

    ¡°Light show? Hmph, that¡¯s not a half bad exnation.¡±

    Naturally, Zhao Yao was looking at the government¡¯s official response tost night¡¯s disaster. He then gathered Hanako and Baiquan together before instructing them, ¡°I won¡¯t be going to the caf¨¦ for the next few days. Hence, both of you will be responsible for everything there.¡±

    A flood of queries crashed through Hanako¡¯s head when she heard the news. She instantly asked, ¡°Huh? Zhao Yao, why aren¡¯t youing to the caf¨¦?¡±

    The corner of his lips curled into a smile as he replied, ¡°Some of my new friends areing over to visit for a short period.¡±

    Obviously, there was only one thing which Zhao Yao had to attend to ¨C the ghost in his belly. Firstly, he enveloped the entire belly with ¡®five senses deprivation¡¯. Then, he instructed Dust Ball to expel every single thing out of the belly except for those two Japanese.

    Then, he attached his unique cor to Ishida¡¯s neck. The illusion sealed within it prevented anyone from seeing, hearing or touching him. Simply put, Matsuo would be oblivious to Ishida¡¯s very existence. He wouldn¡¯t even notice if he touched Ishida¡¯s hand or leg.

    With that, Zhao Yao had truly created a spacepletely removed from the outside world. It had noputers, no phone, no inte. Even though there were two people inside, Matsuo wouldn¡¯t even be able to detect Ishida¡¯s presence.

    Dust Ball executed Zhao Yao¡¯s instructions to a tee. Then, she rified, ¡°What am I supposed to do now?¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s just keep them there for two weeks first and see how they respond to it. Remember to feed him regrly. Do not starve him.¡±

    As for the remaining cats in the belly, they simply sought refuge in Zhao Yao¡¯s apartment. Their toilets, phones,puters were strewn all over the floor, turning the entire living room into a mess.

    Hence, Baiquan and Hanako returned to apletely different home that night. The ce was in a mess with all sorts of cats running all around the ce.

    In one corner, the original cat kings of Jiangmen University, Airne and Lion Head, were engaged in a tussle.

    Smacked in the middle were Dust Ball and Uncle Egg which werepletely absorbed in the catmint resting in their paws.

    Huddled between theirputers were Gaia, F¨±jin, and Lucifer. They were obviously ying PUBG.

    However, the most eye-grabbing cats were definitely the five crucified ones. They could only stare and watch their counterparts reveling in their favorite pastime.

    Catherine was oblivious tost night¡¯s incident and was rather curious as to what had happened to them, ¡°Why are all of you tied up there?¡±

    Caesar immediately dashed over and whispered into her ears, ¡°That¡¯s their punishment for offending Zhao Yao.¡±

    Those words simply didn¡¯t make sense as Diana retorted, ¡°But isn¡¯t King George supposed to be extremely strong?¡±

    ¡°I heard that Zhao Yao had long dethroned King George as the strongest individual around,¡± Caesar responded, not forgetting to keep his volume down for fear of offending King George.

    ¡°Oh, look at all of them! So many ragdolls!¡± Joy bubbled up in Hanako when she saw the family of ragdolls. Three beautiful ragdolls huddled together was definitely something you don¡¯t see every day. Hanako ran forward and asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, where did you get all these cats from?¡±

    Zhao Yao responded in his usual cool voice, ¡°My friends gave it to me.¡±

    ...

    Two weekster, Matcha was hiding in the corner of the room with his eyes glued to Ares. Suddenly, his lips curled into an evil grin as he pranced towards the sofa before jumping onto Zhao Yao¡¯sp. Matcha put on his most convincing puppy-dog look before reporting, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! Ares was the one who secretly drank the water from your cup!¡±

    ¡°Oh, is that so? I never expected him to be so bad.¡±

    ¡°He is! He¡¯s evil!¡± Matcha continued feeding Zhao Yao with his carefully collected intel, ¡°Do you recall the socks which you lost two days ago? Mango was the one who took it and brought it to his bed.¡±

    Zhao Yao responded with a contented nod of his head before running his fingers through Matcha¡¯s glistening fur. He then reached forward for Matcha¡¯s favorite dried fish before rewarding him with it, ¡°Good job, you¡¯ve done well, Matcha.¡±

    ¡°I am but a humble servant of yours who have dedicated my life to your legacy. I will stop at nothing to protect and serve you.¡± Matcha then buried his head in Zhao Yao¡¯s arms before rubbing affectionately against it.

    Matcha had recognized the true status gap in the household after the incident two weeks ago. He knew his position at home and had adopted a radical new approach to entrench his status as Zhao Yao¡¯s alpha sidekick.

    Zhao Yao slid Ares, which rested on the windowsill, a death re before screaming, ¡°Ares, how many times do you need me to remind you? Stop drinking my water! Do you hear me?¡±

    Ares retorted, ¡°I didn¡¯t drink your water. It wasn¡¯t me!¡±

    ¡°But Matcha saw you drinking it!¡±

    ¡°So you rather trust that dumb cat than to trust me? With a loud thud, Ares had sprinted into the bedroom before mming the door shut.

    Zhao Yao muttered, ¡°You don¡¯t have to m the door.¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t!¡±

    ¡°This brat.¡± Zhao Yaomented with a sigh of despair, ¡°Teenage rebellion already? To think that I used to do everything for them when they were young and now they¡¯re treating me like nothing.¡±

    Matcha continued adding insult to his injury, ¡°Kids nowadays are so rebellious. Don¡¯t worry, they will be more mature when they grow up.¡± At this moment, Matcha slipped the white cat a disdainful look, ¡°Roly Poly, why are you so slow today? Faster! Look at all the dirt and dust on the floor! It¡¯s gonna dirty my snow-white paws!¡¯

    The white cat, Roly Poly, raised his head meekly before bowing in apology, ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, Mr. George. I didn¡¯t have a good restst night which resulted in a backache since this morning. I¡¯m so sorry for my tardy actions.¡±

    ¡°Useless piece of shit,¡± Matcha scoffed, ¡°Please do not make your problem my problem. Hurry up! I¡¯ll hold you responsible if any of our paws got tainted by the filthy floor because of your tardiness. Do you understand?¡±

    ¡°I understand, I¡¯ll clean everything right away.¡± Roly Poly immediately lowered his head to the ground and continued to drag the giant cloth across the granite floor.

    Meanwhile, Elizabeth and her ragdoll family were resting on the couch as they watched Roly Poly getting tortured in Matcha¡¯s hands. Catherine¡¯s lips drew into a nasty snarl as she sneered, ¡°That pretentious little thing.¡±

    ¡°That bloody traitor. He has grown cockier by the day since bing an informant.¡± Caesar continued, ¡°Elizabeth, you¡¯re one of Zhao Yao¡¯s favorite cats. Try to talk some sense into him. Stop believing in that traitor¡¯s words. The kingdom will copse if he continues listening to his nonsense.¡±

    Elizabeth could only let out a sigh of despair, ¡°This is the result of the incident two weeks ago. Its implications are far more pervasive than I¡¯ve ever imagined. From then on, Zhao Yao had turned brutally cynical. The Zhao household is no longer the same as before. Zhao Yao wouldn¡¯t even listen to my words. Everyone should stay on their toes, especially against that crafty Matcha.

    Everything that you do or say will be used against you. Every word thates out of your mouth should be carefully weighed and deliberated. Even I can¡¯t protect you if you say anything wrong.¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao had focused all his attention on the extradimensional belly.

    On the other hand, Ishida and Matsuo had just experienced the most boring 14 days of their lives. Each second that passed felt like an eternity. They had no inte, noputer, and no phone. Worst of all, they couldn¡¯t even detect each other¡¯s presence.

    If not for the timely meals provided, they would have already lost track of time.

    Their perception of reality had already been distorted by the past 14 days. All they could do was stare at the dazzling Light of Creation which illuminated 24/7. Humans were truly social beings. One day without any kind ofmunication could turn an ordinary man crazy, let alone 14 days of absolute solitude.

    Zhao Yao took a look at Ishida who simply stared nkly at a wall with a silly smile on his face, ¡°Hmph, that ghost still hasn¡¯t revealed his true form, but I¡¯m sure he has almost reached his limit. This is definitely their most vulnerable moment.¡±

    With that, Zhao Yao pped his hands together before summoning for Old Cat.

    Old Cat flew over the moment he heard that authoritative voice echoed in his head. His eyes sparkled with anticipation as he looked towards Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao had earned Old Cat¡¯s new found respect since the previous incident. Old Cat had never expected a human to be capable of such ruthlessnessbined with clemency. Hence, he would instantly respond to any of Zhao Yao¡¯s call with unbridled loyalty.

    Zhao Yao looked towards Old Cat and instructed, ¡°There are two men inside the belly. They are currently at their most vulnerable state. Later, I need you to brainwash them the moment I sent you in.¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡± Old Cat nodded his head furiously and obliged unreservedly. Obviously, he wanted to shower Zhao Yao with more words to showcase his loyalty. However, he could not do so because of the one-word rule imposed by Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao nodded his head and continued rying his instructions, ¡°There are two objectives to this mission. Firstly, tell them that I¡¯m handsome. No, tell them that the headless horseman is their friend and not their enemy. Secondly, persuade the ghost to stop hiding. Show himself to us. Do you understand?¡±

    ¡°Hmph,¡± As usual, Old Cat could only respond with the violent nod of his head.

    A contented smile crept up Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he replied, ¡°I have confidence in you. If you do it well, I¡¯ll increase the word cap to two words per sentence.¡±

    ¡°For ...¡± halfway into his first word, Old Cat suddenly froze with his mouth wide open. Actually, he was waiting for time to pass so that he could speak the second word.

    Matcha¡¯s eyes began to blink furiously, eager to catch Old Cat flouting the rules. With his face pressed towards him, Matcha asked, ¡°What did you just say?¡±

    Old Cat only dared to utter the second word after the countdown had psed, ¡°Real?¡¯

    ¡°Of course!¡± A smile tugged at Zhao Yao¡¯s lips before he stretched his mouth wide open and absorbed Old Cat into his belly.

    Finally, a new ray of hope had dawned on the two Japanese. This was the first time they had met a new cat for the past two weeks. Even more shocking was the cat¡¯s ability to speak.

    This was a pleasant surprise for the two men who had not spoken for 14 days. They had never felt that happy in a long time.

    They knew that it was a trap. This cat¡¯s arrival was simply a bait to lure them into revealing the truth. However, they just couldn¡¯t stop themselves from opening up to this cat. For once, Matsuo, could be heard and understood.

    This conversationsted for an entire hour before either party stopped for a water break. Obviously, Old Cat had used the opportunity to nt a few ideas into their heads.

    Somehow, Matsuo had already revealed his body to the surroundings. All he recognized at that moment was the joy bubbling up inside him. Hence, he found no use to hide within his ghost form.

    Zhao Yao observed the situation inside the belly with a grin on his face. It was about time. He then ordered Old Cat¡¯s return before making his grand entrance into the belly with Roly Poly by his side.

    There was no hint of suspicion or anger when the two Japanese noticed the headless horseman¡¯s arrival. Instead, they weed him and embraced him in their arms as if he were an old friend.

    Ishida eximed, ¡°Headless Horseman, I am truly sorry for what I¡¯ve done. I¡¯ll return you the money the moment I get out of here to express my heartfelt apology.¡±

    Anguished shredded his insides as Matsuo apologized, ¡°Headless Horseman, it is all my fault! I shouldn¡¯t have created that stupid lending tform, cheating people of all their money. However, I am but a pawn. Momo! Momo is the one controlling me. I was simply listening to Momo¡¯s instructions and acting ording to it! But I promise you that I will turn over a new leaf this time around, I will never ...¡±

    Old Cat had done a perfect job brainwashing these two individuals. One was an assassin known throughout the worst and most evil of people while the other was a sessful fraud who had cheated tons of money. Now, they were drowning in anguish and shame as they apologized to Zhao Yao.

    However, there were two things which caught Zhao Yao¡¯s attention.

    Firstly, it was this guy ¨C Ishida. Not only was he an assassin hired by Matsuo, he also happened to by an executive member of Storm. He was entrusted by Strom toe to China and bring Hanako home.

    The second thing was more troubling. It involved Matsuo. His true identity was something far beyond what Zhao Yao could possibly imagine.

    The Matsuo standing opposite Zhao Yao was not the real Matsuo. He was simply a Japanese supercat called Momo. Momo had used his ability to create ghost spirits which wandered the surface of Earth. Staring at him was a living creature created with superpower ¨C super life.

    ¡°Super life? That¡¯s interesting. I never thought superpower was actually capable of this.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s curious gaze began to scrutinize the ghost standing in front of him as he rubbed his chin, ¡°Do you even need to eat?¡±

    ¡°Not much energy is required if I choose to remain in my invisible form. However, if I choose to reveal my tangible body, a fair amount of food is then required.¡± A sudden thought dawned on Matsuo as he continued, ¡°No, this is not the time to talk about this. Momo has already been alerted to the situation in Jiangmen. He will not give up. Momo will send even stronger apostles over. Furthermore, he has already established a strong alliance with a few other powerhouses in Japan. Their strength should not be underestimated.¡±

    ¡°Oh, are they even stronger than me?¡± Zhao Yao asked curiously.

    Matsuo froze when that question echoed in his head. Indeed, the headless horseman had thoroughly redefined his original impression of apostles and superpowers. He was the only one who stood a legitimate chance at defeating Momo and his gang.

    With that, Matsuo could not help but add on, ¡°However, if we condone Momo¡¯s action and allow him to continue spreading his influence, it will pose as a serious threat to the very bedrock of our society. We should ...¡±

    ¡°Toozy for that,¡± Zhao Yao shot down Matsuo¡¯s proposal with a deafening yawn, ¡°The Japanese will take care of their own problems. Why should I even meddle in some other countries¡¯ affair?¡±

    Zhao Yao knew that Matsuo was not about to let the matter drop and immediately evacuated the belly, leaving behind a whiff of smoke.

    The problem surrounding the two Japanese was resolved for now. Technically, he could allow Ishida to escape but the same cannot be said for Matsuo.

    Firstly, Matsuo was no ordinary human, he was a super life in the form of a ghost. He might seem all friendly and genial during the conversation with Zhao Yao, but it was simply a product of Old Cat¡¯s brainwashing.

    Since Zhao Yao¡¯s initial encounter with the lending tform, he had already understood that Matsuo was not someone to be trifled with. Letting him out would only spell trouble and problems.

    Furthermore, there was a Japanese supercat, Momo, supporting him. Letting him out simply gave him with the perfect opportunity to contact the Japanese and inform them of the situation.

    Hence, Zhao Yao ordered Old Cat to shower them with another round of brainwash. From there, Ishida was allowed to leave while Matsuo was kept in his belly. His ghost power woulde in handy when dealing with that bunch of supercats.

    With the threat removed, the supercats could finally return to their humble abodes. Dust Ball and Baiquan were ovee with relief since they were the ones responsible for the cleanliness during their refuge in Zhao Yao¡¯s apartment.

    Old Cat had redeemed himself with themendable job dealing with the Japanese and was hence rewarded with the two words extension. He too returned to the belly with a broad smile on his face.

    Zhao Yao was not the least bit worried when he decided to send this silver tongue into his secretir. Old Cat¡¯s power was the quintessential intel-dependent ability. Simply put, his strength hinged on his opponent¡¯s ignorance of his ability. His advantage would cease to exist the moment the opponent learned of his power.

    Hence, Zhao Yao had informed every supercat of Old Cat¡¯s ability. Hopefully, no one would fall for it. The supercats would leave on sight the moment Old Cat started to bber.

    Disappointment plunged through Hanako when she learned that she could no longer meet Elizabeth¡¯s family every day. Since Ishida¡¯s departure, Hanako had managed to contact her friends over at Japan. However, that same frown would return to her face after every phone call. It was an ominous situation.

    It was already December when the lending tform saga came to an end. It was that time of the year ¨C Chinese New Year.

    ...

    Zhao Yao opened his eyes only to see the entire gang of supercats, Matcha, Elizabeth, Mango, Roly Poly, Dust Ball and Lightning gathered by the windowsill with their eyes gaping excitedly outside. Mango would even knock against the window with his meaty paws as if he was grabbing on to something.

    Zhao Yao asked curiously, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? What are all of you looking at? Is money falling from the sky?¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao!¡± Matcha turned his head around with excitement bubbling in his voice, ¡°It¡¯s even better! It¡¯s snowing!¡±

    ¡°Oh,¡± Zhao Yao casually walked towards the window and was greeted by a beautiful scene. The snow hadpletely enveloped Jiangmen City, turning it into a winter wondend, ¡°It has been a long time since Jiangmen Cityst snowed.¡±

    Dust Ball slid Zhao Yao a puppy-dog look with anticipation pouring out of her eyes, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! Can I please go out and y in the snow?¡±

    Lightning and Rice Cake¡¯s ears shot up when they heard Dust Ball¡¯s request. Overwhelmed with excitement, they too began to jump up and down around the ce.

    Zhao Yao thought about it before agreeing with a nod, ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll go downter when it¡¯s dark. The lot of you will create a hugemotion and attract so much wanted attention.¡± He could simultaneouslyplete his daily missions while letting them have some fun.

    That night, Zhao Yao came down to the grass patch immediately in front of his apartment.

    Chinese New Year was just around the corner. Hence, the majority of the residents had already flocked back to their hometown for this joyous asion. Currently, he had the entire grass patch to himself.

    With his mouth stretched open, Zhao Yao expelled every single cat from his belly. Matcha, Elizabeth, and Roly Poly were not the only lucky ones. Every one of them got to relish in this magical moment.

    Matcha stared expectantly at the piece of snow slowly descending from the sky. He reached his meaty paw forward as the snow descended onto it. Immediately, he was overwhelmed with an inexplicable joy and excitement.

    ¡°It¡¯s freezing! This is snow?¡±

    After all, Jiangmen City did not usually snow. Hence, it was Matcha¡¯s first encounter with snow.

    Meanwhile, Dust Ball, Mango, and Lightning were already chasing one another in this beautiful white snow. They would even plunge their head into this wonderful snow with a wide grin stered on their face.

    Soon, Matcha grew bored of it. He even slid the bunch of them a condescending re. With the initial novelty gone, Matcha wasn¡¯t gonna act like those fools there, drenching themselves in all these snow.

    On the other hand, Elizabeth and her family had reached a secluded corner. Elizabeth began by lying on a heap of snow before contorting her body in all sorts of angles. Her eyes darted towards her dad before she instructed, ¡°This is a nice spot for a photo. Help me take a few photos so that I can upload them to Instagram and WeChat.¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s snow white-fur blended perfectly with his surroundings. You couldn¡¯t tell them apart if not for his beady eyes. Lion Head suddenly approached him and asked, ¡°Roly Poly! Join me in a snow fight against Airne!¡±

    Roly Poly replied nonchntly, ¡°Yea, sure.¡±

    With the power of his deflective field, Ares had lifted the snow into the air beforebining them into one giant heap.

    Lucifer¡¯s eyes probed expectantly, ¡°Ares, are you building a snowman?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not!¡± Ares retorted with his cheeks all pink from embarrassment, ¡°I¡¯m just randomly shoving the snow around. I¡¯m not building a snowman!¡±

    Momentster, a giant heap of snow loomed over Lucifer before crashing into his body. With a loud groan, a majestic snow cat had emerged from the ruins.

    As usual, Gaia was squatting at the side with his face stuck to the phone screen. He couldn¡¯t help but slid all those cats a disdainful re as he observed them running around like fools.

    ¡°Boring! Why would you even y with such archaic toys in this day and age? How long more am I supposed to suffer in this cold before I can return home?¡±

    Old Cat pounced on the opportunity and approached Matcha who was all alone. Currently, Matcha was imprinting the ce with his adorable paw prints. Old Cat inched forward with an amiable smile and asked, ¡°Sir George, are you ying with snow?¡± He recognized Matcha¡¯s preferred for his alias George Matcha and hence decided to y along and call him Sir George.

    ¡°Yes, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Matcha slid him a nce before resuming his paw printing activities.

    Old Cat trailed closely behind Matcha. He would carefully ce his paws on spots Matcha had already stepped on, for fear of destroying his artwork.

    ¡°Sir George, if not for you, Zhao Yao would not be able to maintain the current peace which cat nation enjoys. You are truly remarkable!¡±

    Matcha was indifferent to thepliments and simply nodded his head in response. He then reached his paw into the snow before a shudder ran down his body. The snow was fun to y with, but it was way too cold.

    Old Cat saw his opportunity and immediately reached his paw forward, resting underneath Matcha¡¯s paw. A bashful grin spread across his face as he uttered, ¡°Sir George, use my paw to create your masterpiece.¡±

    ¡°Oh,¡± Matcha¡¯s eyes finally met Old Cat¡¯s as he looked towards him. With his right eyebrow shot up, Matcha enquired, ¡°Aren¡¯t you scared of the cold?¡±

    ¡°Oh, we vige cats have trodden across the roughest of terrains. A thickyer of callus had developed beneath our paws, hence we¡¯re not as susceptible to the cold.¡±

    Atst, a wide grin stretched across Matcha¡¯s face. With Old Cat¡¯s paw in his hand, Matcha began to print his paw print all over the ce, creating an art of sorts. Matcha whispered, ¡°You are a smart fe and I like that about you. Tell me, what do you want?¡±

    A jolt of excitement rushed through Old Cat¡¯s body. However, he was still exceptionally careful with his choice of words, ¡°My power lies in my mouth. However, it requires a fair amount of words before it actually takes effect. But my dear master Zhao Yao has imposed the two words limit on me, thus making my life a living hell. Sir George, if you ever have the opportunity, can you put in some good words on my behalf?¡±

    ¡°The two words limit truly puts you in a difficult spot.¡± Matcha pondered about it before replying, ¡°I will mention your circumstances to Zhao Yao. However, he is an extremely unpredictable man. Even I dare not to vouch for a positive result, so don¡¯t pin all your hopes on it.¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes, I understand. I am immensely grateful for Sir George to even consider putting in some goods words for me.¡±

    Suddenly, a deafening meow erupted from a corner, attracting everyone¡¯s attention. Matcha and Old Cat swept their heads towards it and noticed a giant cat towering over them. This was none other than Lion Head with her power activated. She was even bigger than a fully grown tiger as she plunged into the bed of snow. Mango, Dust Ball, Lightning, Airne and her were all happily engaged in their snow war.

    ¡°Don¡¯t run!¡±

    Meanwhile, Ares was still in the midst of constructing his second snow cat with Lucifer as his mannequin. Immediately, he noticed a towering figure looming over him, but it was toote. Before he could react, the giant cat had already smashed his snow cat to pieces.

    ¡°This stupid fat cat! What the hell are you trying to do?¡±

    ¡°Hahaha,e catch me if you can!¡± Lion Head taunted as he picked Roly Poly off the ground before escaping from the cats right behind her. Lion Head¡¯s huge body sent a flurry of snow spiraling in the air beforending on Elizabeth and family. It looked like a snowstorm as Elizabeth¡¯s body was drenched with snow.

    ¡°Rude!¡± The same red glimmer shed across Elizabeth¡¯s eyes as Lion Head¡¯s body froze, with her paws rooted to the ground.

    Ares was still writhing in anger as images of his destroyed masterpiece flooded his mind. With a loud bellow, a wave of deflective field swept towards the pair of obnoxious cats as an avnche of snow overwhelmed them.

    The remaining supercats rushed over and immediately dug all the snow away. Dust Ball immediately eximed when she saw the tiny head popping out of the snow, ¡°Roly Poly, are you alright?¡±

    A faint smile stretched across Roly Poly¡¯s face, ¡°I¡¯m fine, perfectly fine.¡±

    Zhao Yao sat on the bench as he observed his cats y. It was getting rather boring as Zhao Yao whipped out his phone for a round of Mobile Legends.

    Business was dreadful over the subsequent days. Most of the students had already returned home for the new year celebration. Hence, Zhao Yao decided to use this opportunity to treat everyone to a well-deserved break.

    ...

    On the eve of Chinese New Year, both Baiquan and Hanako did not return home but instead spent it in Zhao Yao¡¯s apartment. Zhao Yao even released the cats from his belly into the apartment for this special asion.

    The apartment was swarming with cats running all around the ce, creating a somewhat joyous mood befitting of the asion. Because of Baiquan¡¯s tardiness, they failed to secure a restaurant booking and had to make do with a home-cooked hotpot meal.

    Baiquan and Hanako each had a pot to themselves while the cats shared one giant pot. The cats required no additional seasoning. Their meat was simply nched in boiling water before it slid down their throats. At most, it was dabbed with a smear of Baiquan¡¯s homemade saltless sauce.

    Obviously, Zhao Yao returned home for his reunion dinner before joining the rest in the hotpot.

    The cats¡¯ eyes probed expectantly at the pot as bubbles floated to the surface, propelling the meat upwards. The aroma was simply too enticing for Matcha to resist as he secretly reached his paw towards the sulent meat floating on the surface of the soup.

    However, his paw was immediately intercepted by Elizabeth¡¯s paw, ¡°Don¡¯t use your dirty paw for the food! Do you know how much bacteria is in your paws? Secondly, do you know how hot boiling water is? It will immediately turn your paw into food for us to eat!¡±

    Elizabeth slid the remaining cats a death re before threatening them, ¡°No one is allowed to take the meat using their own paws! Understand? It¡¯s either you wait for Ares to scoop the meat out using the deflective field or you use the spoons assigned to you. Do you understand?¡¯

    Hence, the cats huddled their heads together, over the boiling water as they stared expectantly at the pot full of meat. Suddenly, a deafening scream echoed across the ce, ¡°Zhao Yao is giving out red packets in the group!¡±

    ¡°What, what?¡±

    ¡°Is it our end of year bonus?¡¯

    Their heads immediately retracted from the pot and were buried in their phones. Zhao Yao had explicitly reminded them about this in the afternoon when he invited everyone to the WeChat group.

    However, there was nothing! Zhao Yao had not distributed a single red packet!

    They knew that they were tricked. By the time they had craned their necks towards the pot, one-third of the meat had already evaporated into thin air.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±

    ¡°Who stole all the meat?¡±

    Lightning joined in the scolding while gobbling down the beef in his mouth, ¡°Who is that immoral cat? How dare he eat behind our backs?¡±

    Suddenly, Dust Ball¡¯s voice echoed in the cats¡¯ ears as she eximed excitedly, ¡°Zhao Yao has distributed the red packets!¡±

    Lightning responded by sliding her a condescending re, ¡°Trying to learn from me? Do you think that I would actually fall for such a stupid trick?¡±

    Seeing the happy faces all around him, Lightning sumbed to the temptation and tapped on his phone only to see all 10 red packets already redeemed. Anguish sagged through his body as he muttered, ¡°Just 10 red packets? How stingy can Zhao Yao get?¡±

    Matcha bellowed withughter as he screamed, ¡°Yay! I got RMB 228!¡±

    Dust Ball was just as happy as she announced, ¡°Me too! I got RMB 196!¡±

    Elizabeth¡¯s lips drew into a nasty snarl as she stared at that miserable sum staring in her face, RMB 6.8.

    Just when her brain was about to explode with fury, another red packet had appeared on her screen. This was the reward for being the most popr cat in the caf¨¦. The amount was enough to paste a wide grin on Elizabeth¡¯s face as the snarl disappeared into thin air.

    After that sumptuous meal, Matcha copsed to the ground with a contented smile on his face when he dered, ¡°In this uing year, I am going to establish my rule and control over the entire cat nation!¡±

    With joy fluttering through her, Elizabeth whispered, ¡°I¡¯m going to earn tons of money in the uing year! Dust Ball, how about you? What do you wish for?¡±

    Elizabeth cocked her head upwards and was greeted by the sight of a snoring Dust Ball. Somehow, she had already fallen asleep amidst the screams and meows.

    ¡°Hmph,¡± the background noises had a hypnotic effect as it lulled Elizabeth to sleep. Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier until she finally sumbed to it.

    Inside KFC, Xiao Ming was wearing an overcoat which he picked up. He lowered his head and found a seat.

    Initially, he had owed a lot of debts. Justst month, he managed to attain support of Matsuo to be the salesperson on the lendingpany. He even became the best-performing salesperson during his first week of work.

    Who knew that Matsuo would run off on his second week of work and the lendingpany shut down. He didn¡¯t even received his pay for the first month, let alone hismission. He was even chased by clients which he had sold the financial product to.

    ¡°Sigh, I¡¯m such a wastrel. I might as well just kill myself.¡±

    At this moment, a steaming hot hamburger was ced in front of him. Xiao Ming lifted his head and subconsciously blurted, ¡°I don¡¯t have money for...¡±

    But he saw ck Panther smiling at him, ¡°Eat up, my good brother. Thanks to you, I don¡¯t have to pay back what I borrowed from guys from my hometown. I am working here, this hamburger is leftover from today. I have paid for it.¡±

    Xiao Ming was touched as he chewed on the burger. He thought to himself, ¡°In the new year, I must slog it out to earn money and be the richest in this world.¡±

    ...

    Xiao Yu who was initially apanying her parents to watch the Spring G Festival at home fell asleep. Her parents carried her back to her bed. While drooling, she kept murmuring, ¡°I will grow up to be the prettiest in this world.¡±

    Fishball and Noodle finished eating the canned food that was specially fed to them on New Year¡¯s eve. Theyy down quietly on Xiao Yu¡¯s bed and fell asleep quickly.

    Fishball¡¯s legs hung in the air as he kept murmuring, ¡°I¡¯m God of the Sun...¡±

    Noodley on the floor and rested his head on his paws. His nose suddenly twitched, ¡°Who pooped?¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao was having reunion dinner with his family. After which, he drove back home. If it wasn¡¯t for his family needing to use the car which required him to drive over, he would have came through the extradimensional belly.

    After nearing his residential area, he found that the barricade was open and there wasn¡¯t anyone to be found in the security office.

    He raised his eyebrow curiously, ¡°Didn¡¯t they mentioned that there would be someone on duty today? He went for reunion dinner too?¡± After thinking for a while, he could understand and it wasn¡¯t a big issue. He then parked his car and headed up.

    Not within his field of vision, the security guard was already fast asleep on the floor in the security office.

    Zhao Yao opened the door and was expecting to see a crowd. However, there wasn¡¯t one and once he stepped in, he almost stepped on Uncle Egg who was lying there.

    With a few more steps, he noticed that the steamboat was already emptied and there were various sauces on the table. The beef, mutton and fish were already consumed.

    The supercats were all lying on the floor, sound asleep. Even Baiquan and Hanako went back into the room to sleep.

    ¡°Sleeping right after eating...¡± Because it was the new year, Zhao Yao didn¡¯t wake them up. He went to clean up the dishes by himself. After showering, he let out a yawn.

    ¡°I was busy the whole day, I shall sleep early too then.¡±

    He was lying in his room and shut his eyes. As he was falling asleep and right before he managed to, there was a sudden and sharp brightness and he couldn¡¯t help but opened his eyes. It was a white ceiling appearing in front of his eyes and there was a lingering smell of disinfectant. He lowered his head and realised that he was in a hospital rom.

    ¡°Eh? I was sleeping in my room, how did I appear here?¡± Zhao Yao rubbed his head and suddenly realised that he couldn¡¯t move his body.

    ¡°Huh?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±

    ¡°Why can¡¯t I feel my body?¡±

    Zhao Yao realised that he could still shift his head and look around but he couldn¡¯t move his body a singlet bit. Or it was because his brain still not conscious, he could only sense the surroundings. In his field of vision, he could only see the surrounding walls and the ceiling and couldn¡¯t see himself lying on the bed.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on!!!¡±

    Just as he panicked, the door swung open and a person carrying fruits basket entered.

    ¡°Who is this?¡±

    Zhao Yao stared at the person. He was exceptionally good-looking and as he casuallybed his hair, he resembled a movie star.

    Although he didn¡¯t recognise this person, he still felt that he looked familiar.

    At this moment, the person spoke, ¡°You slept for almost 2 years right? Who would have expected that on the night before New Year¡¯s, you ced your head into a pool of cat¡¯s pee when you wereying on your bed. You almost drowned. Why would there even be cat¡¯s pee on your bed? Even though the medical team tried their best, you went intoa for almost 2 years.¡±

    ¡°Ah?! Is he speaking about me? That¡¯s impossible, you¡¯re just speaking to yourself right?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s consciousness shook and he could finally clearly see his state. Indeed, he was lying on his bed with this eyes shut and unconscious.

    Zhao Yao shouted crazily in his consciousness, ¡°How is this possible? Is this a prank? Why will I be lying in the hospital? What the hell is with almost drowning in cat¡¯s pee? Is there any more embarrassing way of dying in this world?¡±

    The man in front of his bed sighed and held onto his hand, ¡°Brother, will you wake up? I will get married in a few days, it would be great if you could attend my wedding.¡±

    ¡°Brother?¡± Zhao Yao was taken aback. He looked carefully at the man before his bed and felt cold sweat all over his body. ¡°This face... This face... This guy is Zhao Xue? Why did she be a guy after 2 years? What¡¯s this joke, what did you do over the 2 years?¡±

    ¡°I really wish you could see me now,¡± Zhao Xue held onto Zhao Yao¡¯s hand, ¡°Your sister had became a true man. No matter the top or bottom, I¡¯ve fully became a man.¡±

    ¡°F....!¡± Zhao Yao was shouting crazily in his consciousness and his body began shaking. Zhao Xue was pleasantly surprised and eximed, ¡°Brother, you are awake?¡±

    Zhao Xue shouted in the direction of the door, ¡°Aunt Xiao Yu, my brother moved!¡±

    ¡°What?¡± The door swung open. A 1.8 metres tall, 36D breasts size, small face and big eyed girl walked in. She looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Zhao Yao? You are awake?¡±

    Zhao Xue was shocked, ¡°There¡¯s blood flowing from the corner of his mouth?¡±

    Zhao Yao was shouting in his consciousness, ¡°What joke is this? How could this be Xiao Yu? Within the span of 2 years, you couldn¡¯t even be like this after injecting hormones daily. This is changing entirely into another person right?¡±

    <h4>Chapter 411: 407 Regaining of Consciousness</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    After looking at Xiao Yu and Zhao Xue, Zhao Yao was extremely appalled in his consciousness. Apanied by the ripple in his consciousness, his body that wasying on the hospital bed shook like he was shocked by electricity.

    Zhao Xue and Xiao Yu were excited by Zhao Yao¡¯s regain of consciousness.

    Xiao Yu immediately pressed the buzzer beside the hospital bed. The doctor came in a short while and asked, ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°Dr. Liu! Look at my brother, he seems to have woken up!¡±

    Zhao Yao was slightly taken aback. He looked at the female doctor standing before him and thought to himself, ¡°This fellow.. Isn¡¯t she the Dr. Liu from Starry Starry Pet Hospital? How can she be attending to humans? Are you sure it¡¯s alright for her to be my doctor?! Change my doctor!!¡±

    Dr. Liu adjusted her spectacles and touched Zhao Yao¡¯s chest. She then inspected his eyelids and spoke, ¡°Infected by viruses, visceral failure, muscr atrophy, urinal concretion...¡±

    ¡°Ah? My brother¡¯s body is in such a bad condition?¡±

    Dr. Liu shifted her spectacles again and spoke, ¡°Oh, he actually doesn¡¯t have these but when he regains consciousness, he still requires an operation.¡±

    Xiao Yu replied, ¡°Isn¡¯t he moving already?¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s just having a dream.¡± Dr. Liu replied calmly, ¡°The cure for everything is sterilization. Only with sterilization, he doesn¡¯t need to endure the pains and sufferings of a man. Sicknesses rted to the prostate would not appear. Furthermore, with my experience, the temperament of the man will mellow and he won¡¯t be angered easily. He will even be more urate when peeing and his pee would not drip onto the toilet bowl or the floor.¡±

    ¡°You are evidently a veterinarian!¡± Zhao Yao shouted maniacally, ¡°Isn¡¯t this a way to sterilize a cat?! Who will believe what you are saying! Who will sterilize a person ina?!¡±

    Zhao Xue deliberated, ¡°But with my brother¡¯s personality, wouldn¡¯t he be extremely upset when he wakes up and realized that he was sterilized?¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes, ¡°Although the main point isn¡¯t that, your thought is right. Don¡¯t sterilize me, definitely don¡¯t do it!¡±

    ¡°Zhao Xue, it¡¯s okay!¡± Xiao Yu patted Zhao Xue¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Zhao Yao¡¯s already close to thirty years old and still doesn¡¯t have a girlfriend. There¡¯s no difference if he is able to reproduce or not. You have be the man of our family and a man that¡¯s about to get married. You are already ahead of Zhao Yao, even if he can¡¯t reproduce, you are still able to carry on the family line.¡±

    ¡°Ah! This evil student!¡± Zhao Yao was angered, ¡°Zhao Xue, don¡¯t listen to her! Even though I don¡¯t have a girlfriend, you don¡¯t need to sterilize me!¡±

    At this moment, a nurse rushed into the room and handed over a stack of documents to Dr. Liu. She shouted, ¡°Dr. Liu, things aren¡¯t good. There was an explosion in the neighbourhood and many victims require operation. There isn¡¯t enough resources in the city centre¡¯s hospital and they are going to send over fifty patients to us.¡±

    Dr. Liu looked at the list of patients on the document and was shocked, ¡°They are all so severely injured? All these require sterilization. Hurry prepare for sterilization!¡± As she said, her eyes were gleaming with excitement and she left Zhao Yao¡¯s room straight away.

    ¡°Look at this! She¡¯s a pervert who loves to perform sterilization on patients!¡± Zhao Yao screamed at Zhao Xue, ¡°Absolutely do not put me through sterilization! If not, your brother will forever not be able to stand and this has a lot of meanings!¡±

    Zhao Xue seemed to have heard Zhao Yao¡¯s incessant shouts and nodded. Zhao Xue looked at him and said, ¡°Rest assured brother. From here on, I will be responsible for carrying on of our family line.¡±

    Bam!

    Zhao Yao violently opened his eyes and sprung up.

    Zhao Xue was pleasantly surprised, ¡°Brother, you are awake!¡±

    ¡°Damn,¡± Xiao Yu frowned a little, ¡°He actually woke up.¡±

    ¡°Brother, do you know how long you have been unconscious for. You stay here for a bit, I will get Dr. Liu to check on you.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no need!¡± Zhao Yao grabbed onto Zhao Xue¡¯s arm and spoke sternly, ¡°I know my body is on tip top condition and I can leave the hospital immediately.¡±

    With Zhao Yao¡¯s insistence, Zhao Xue brought him to settle the administrative matters and the three of them headed to the exit. Xiao Yu looked around and said, ¡°The car should be arriving soon, let¡¯s wait for a while.¡±

    Zhao Yao wiped his cold sweat and thought, ¡°That¡¯s a close shave. I can finally leave this damn hospital. But why do I still feel like something¡¯s wrong?¡±

    He sub-consciously felt that there was something amiss about the people, buildings and the world before his eyes. However, after some thought, everything seemed to make sense and was perfectly normal. Hence, Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t figure what was wrong.

    Zhao Yao looked through the book and noticed that surface was still there. The supercats and their levels were still intact and he heaved a sigh of relief.

    While Zhao Yao was looking at the surface, Xiao Yu shouted, ¡°The car¡¯s here.¡±

    With a creak, Zhao Yao noticed that his panamera stopped in front of his eyes. Xiao Yu opened the door and was unsatisfied, ¡°Noodle, you took so long.¡±

    ¡°Noodle?¡± Zhao Yao looked into the car and didn¡¯t see any husky. He was puzzled, ¡°You brought your dog too?¡±

    ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Xiao Yu pointed to the young man in the driver seat and said, ¡°This is Noodle.¡±

    ¡°Eh...¡± Zhao Yao then noticed the young man and there was a pair of husky ears on his head. There was still a furry tail on his back that kept wagging. Other than that, he was a perfectly normal human.

    Zhao Yao further noticed that this person resembled the dead Ho Hao Cang.

    Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t help but spat out, ¡°How could you be Noodle? This is a lie! Only two years past. Even if you had changed your own heda, you also changed the race of your dog?!¡±

    Xiao Yu shot him a look of disdain, ¡°What do you know? Noodle is only three years old and stll undergoing growth. It¡¯s normal that there are changes.¡±

    ¡°What kind of minor changes are these?¡± Zhao Yao pointed to the face of Ho Hao Cang, ¡°This is aplete erasal and recement of the race!¡±

    Ho Hao Cang looked at Zhao Yao and barked and stuck out his tongue to reveal a silly smile.

    Xiao Yu immediately smiled, ¡°Zhao Yao, look. Noodle still recognises you.¡±

    ¡°Damn,¡± Zhao Yao sprung over and pinched Ho Hao Cang¡¯s face. ¡°You think that you are a dog just because you bark! You are Ho Hao Cang! Even if you turned grey, I will still recognise you! Even if you managed to deceive Zhao Xue and Xiao Yu, you can¡¯t deceive me!¡±

    Ho Hao Cang let out a pitiful sound.

    Zhao Xue assured him, ¡°Brother, you slept for two years. Many things happened and everyone changed. This is perfectly normal and you will get used to it.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and eventually still boarded the car. However, he still thought to himself, ¡°This isn¡¯t right. There¡¯s definitely something wrong!¡±

 Chapter 412: 408 Direction

    <h4>Chapter 412: 408 Direction</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Panamera was a spacious dual-utility sports car. People could sit in both the front and back rows. Hence, Xiao Yu, Noodle, Zhao Yao sat on the car and headed off.

    Xiao Yu asked, ¡°Where are we going? Are we going to your house first? Or the coffee house? Oh right, Zhao Yao... You tell me then, Zhao Xue.¡±

    Zhao Xue looked at Zhao Yao and spoke, ¡°Brother, when you weren¡¯t around, I have handled the matters at the coffee house on your behalf.¡±

    ¡°Eh?¡±

    Zhao Xue continued speaking, ¡°I only came to know after that you were also a powerful apostle. You have raised so many supercats. However, after you became unconscious, no one was in control of those cats and they wouldn¡¯t listen to us. Now, a majority of them couldn¡¯t be located.

    ¡°What?¡± Zhao Yao immediately utilised his ability to enter the extradimensional belly and swept across the space, there was no one to be found. The whole ce was filled with catmint and Ares, Lucifer and the rest weren¡¯t there anymore.

    Zhao Yao was speechless, ¡°Dust Ball...¡± He tried to call out for Dust Ball but there still wasn¡¯t any response.

    Zhao Xue spoke, ¡°Let¡¯s go to the cat cafe first. Everyone must be looking forward to seeing you. Upon knowing that you were awake, they must be very happy.¡±

    Hence, Zhao Yao was brought the the cat cafe by the rest. From afar, the exterior appearance of the cafe still looked the same as before. Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief.

    Upon opening the door, it was apanied by a ring. Xiao Shiyu who was at the bar raised her head and revealed a look of pleasant surprise upon sighting Zhao Yao. She emotionally covered her mouth and shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao! You! You are awake?¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled and nodded. He lightly exhaled and thought, ¡°Luckily Xiao Shiyu is still normal.¡±

    Xiao Shiyu stepped out from the counter and headed towards Zhao Yao.

    However, after a few steps, a handsome man suddenly kneeled down in front of he and said, ¡°Miss Xiao, I¡¯m the CEO from xx Corporation. My annual ie is ten billion and am the wealthiest man in Asia. My parents are dead and I only like one person!¡± He then revealed a diamond the size of his first and presented to Xiao Shiyu, ¡°Please marry me!¡±

    ¡°Oh, but...¡± Xiao Shiyu didn¡¯t finished speaking and another fair-looking man blocked the way of the handsome man and said, ¡°No!¡± He looked at Xiao Shiyu and said, ¡°I¡¯m 1.9 metres tall. My lower torso measures to 1.3 metres. I am well-built and I have abs. I¡¯m only 20 years old and I was already awarded the Golden Horse Award and Golden Rooster Award. But I have yet to dated anyone and that¡¯s because I only like you!¡±

    Xiao Shiyu looked at the both of them and let out an awkward smile. Apanied by her smile, there was a sudden rainbow that rose behind her. Zhao Yao could even smell the scent of flowers and there were butterflies dancing in the air.

    The guys around both set their eyes on her and spoke in unison, ¡°This is too beautiful!¡±

    Zhao Yao was speechless, ¡°This... This is overly-dramatic. Evidently there is something wrong with Xiao Shiyu too.¡±

    ¡°You are all good guys but we are not suitable. I have someone I adore already.¡± Xiao Shiyu smiled and rushed over to Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao was breathless, ¡°It cannot be.¡±

    Xiao Shiyu picked up speed as she ran.

    ¡°This is impossible?¡±

    Xiao Shiyu leapt and jumped in his direction.

    ¡°This cannot be exined.¡± While Zhao Yao was talking, he had already extended his arms and hugged her.

    At the next moment, Xiao Shiyu leapt into the embrace of Zhao Xue and smiled, ¡°This is my fiancee.¡±

    Zhao Yao was taken aback, ¡°This really is weird. There¡¯s something wrong with Xiao Shiyu too.¡±

    A group of people sat down and Zhao Yao observed them. They wagged their tails and crawled around chasing cats. He frowned and didn¡¯t care about them after a while.

    He looked towards Xiao Shiyu and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s Hanako and Baiquan? Matcha, Roly Poly and Elizabeth? Why didn¡¯t I see them?¡±

    Xiao Shiyu and Zhao Xue exchanged nces and Zhao Xue nodded, ¡°Tell him. Brother should ought to know.¡±

    Hence, Xiao Shiyu spoke, ¡°Hanako and Baiquan left for over a year. I don¡¯t know where did they go. As for the supercats in the cafe...¡±

    After a moment of silence, Xiao Shiyu continued, ¡°After you were away, Matcha and Roly Poly both felt like they were the ones who should be in-charged. They had a big fight and the cats picked their sides to support Matcha or Roly Poly.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Zhao Yao clenched his teeth, ¡°These two damn cats. While I¡¯m lying in bed, they are already fighting for the inheritance?¡±

    Zhao Yao lifted his head and asked, ¡°So where are they now?¡±

    ¡°After you left, Matcha didn¡¯t had the control of anyone and revealed his true character. Now he was coined as the leader of the evil cats. He gathered a bunch of other wanted supercats to do evil. They now reside in an old castle in the Western suburbs. A few of the cats who were under you are with him now.¡±

    ¡°As for Roly Poly, he is now known as the saint. He always tried to stop Matcha and prevent his evil doings. But no one really know about his whereabouts.¡±

    ¡°Damn it.¡± Zhao Yao stared coldly and as he stood up, ¡°Bring me to Matcha. Since we know his whereabouts, I will bring him back first.¡±

    Zhao Xue hesitated, ¡°But, Matcha is strong now and he has gathered a group of supercats. We are not really in a position to match against them.¡±

    Xiao Yu nodded in agreement, ¡°We can still go. Since you¡¯re back, Matcha wouldn¡¯t do anything to us. But you shouldn¡¯t have any expectation of himing back. Two years had passed, they are not the cats that you knew.¡±

    ...

    The loud rumble was apanied by lightning that struck. A sea of white epassed the skies, revealing a pitch-ck castle in the middle of the forest.

    The castle was surrounded by dried nts and sounds of bats pping could be heard. Frequent shrieks could also be heard from the direction of the castle.

    Zhao Yao rubbed his eyes and said, ¡°This fellow is living here?¡±

    Xiao Shiyu nodded and shouted, ¡°Yes, he lives in the middle tower of the castle. If you want to see him, you can just head straight up. Since you¡¯re his owner, he wouldn¡¯t make things difficult for you.¡±

    ¡°Why must you shout?¡± Zhao Yao turned around and stared at Xiao Shiyu who was at least a hundred metres behind him. He was angered, ¡°Why must you stand so far away from me?

    Zhao Xue shouted, ¡°Is that very far? I think it¡¯s okay? Since it¡¯s so spacious, let¡¯s spread out.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Zhao Xue who was two hundred metres away and was speechless, ¡°Why are you all so fearful?¡±

    Xiao Yu and Noodle who were seated in the car and prepared to drive off at any moment said, ¡°¡±Zhao Yao, you enter by yourself. We will wait for you outside. You rest assured, we will wait for you to return before leaving.¡±

    ¡°At least stop the engine!¡± Zhao Yao eximed, ¡°Don¡¯t talk about cutting off the engine, Noddle, your foot is already on the elerator? I can hear the sound emanating from the car.¡±

    After looking at the people who were ready to escape at any moment, he still headed in the direction of the castle. The ability assigned to the book as well as its ability had recovered to its normal usage. He thought to himself that there shouldn¡¯t be any problem for him to settle Matcha.

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao walked along in the pitch-ck forest as the shrills continued. He rolled his eyes and said, ¡°This Matcha, why is he staying here? And why are Zhao Xue and the rest so frightened?¡±

    As he thought, there were some updates on the book.

    Mission: To search for the cat.

    Mission description: Search for all the supercats and ce them back in the extradimensional belly and find out what¡¯s the reasons for all changes that took ce.

    Reward for aplishing: For every contract supercat that was retrieved, you will be awarded 500 experience points. For every non-contract supercat, you will be awarded 100 experience points. 1000 experience points will be awarded for finding out the reasons behind the changes.

    Punishment for failing: None.

    Zhao Yao nodded at the assigned task and that was exactly what he wanted to aplish. It was a long time before he was assigned a task as he was satisfied with his life and there wasn¡¯t many tasks for him to aplish.

    When he was awaken, he realised the whole world had changed and even the supercats went missing. This resulted in Zhao Yao wanting to investigate and to retrieve all his supercats.

    ¡°There are so much experience points for the mission this time. With my 2x experience points card, if I were to retrieve Matcha, Elizabeth, Dust Ball, Ares, Lucifer and Sphynx cat these 6 cast, I would have already attained 6000 experience points. With the rest of the non-contact cats and after finding out the reason for the change, that will amount to 2000 experience points.¡±

    Zhao Yao took a look at the surface, Book: Lv 6 (3602/20000)

    Matcha Lv 7 (3800/20000)

    Elizabeth Lv 6 (3300/10000)

    Dust Ball Lv 8 (4555/50000)

    Ares Lv 6 (3600/10000)

    Lucifer Lv 6 (2000/10000)

    ¡°Hm, when Iplete the mission, there will be sufficient experience points for Lv 6 of my book. But if I temporarily don¡¯t raise the level of my book, I can use it on the supercats.¡±

    As he thought, his eyes shone and he picked up his speed as he headed towards the castle.

    However, at this moment, he raised his eyebrow and covered his nose. He thought to himself, ¡°What¡¯s this stench? What¡¯s up with this stench of cats¡¯ poop.¡±

    He took a few more steps and saw heaps of cats¡¯ poop in the forests and there were scatters that could be human¡¯s or cat¡¯s. Some words were written on the tree.

    ¡°Peeing and Pooping on the ground is the rights of a cat! This sacred rule cannot be vited!¡±

    ¡°Hail King George!¡±

    ¡°The Saviour of the wicked cats!¡±

    ...

    At the same time, in a particr office in Jiangmen City.

    Uncle Ho spoke sternly, ¡°What¡¯s going on? A consecutive of over a hundred incidents, over three hundred police and apostles broke contact. We don¡¯t know the whereabouts of over fifty supercats. Who¡¯s waging war on us?¡±

    Lin Chen replied, ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not war. Although we haven¡¯t confirmed the reason behind all these, but from what we have confirmed...¡± Lin Chen frowned with deliberation and spoke at the next instant, ¡°They... fell asleep and can¡¯t be awaken.¡±

    ¡°Fell asleep?¡± Uncle Ho was enraged, ¡°How¡¯s that possible? At the same time, so many of them fell asleep? What a joke, was it the apostles? But it¡¯s sorge scale and the destruction was too stunning.¡± Uncle Ho scribbled on the map on the table, ¡°First it was here and here and then... Eh? The parameters are shifting? The apostles or supercats were moving and emanating their abilities. Lin Chen,e and see. Lin Chen... Lin Chen?¡±

    Uncle Ho was shocked when he lifted his head and looked at Lin Chen.

    Lin Chen had already shut his eyes as hey on the chair. He lightly snored as he fell asleep.

    ...

    In Zhao Yao¡¯s house, rustles could be heard from the cat¡¯s toilet. The door was knocked open and a pair of yellow abnormal pupils were revealed.

    The mango¡¯s head drilled out from the toilet and looked at the people and catsying on the floor. His head tilted a little and revealed a nk look.

    He seemed to notprehend why everyone fell asleep at such an early timing today.

    As he stepped over their bodies, he leg suddenly wobbled. He lowered his head and realised he had stepped on Matcha¡¯s face.

    ...

    ¡°Eh?!¡± In the castle, Matcha sprung up on his bed, ¡°Why did I felt that something stepped on my face.¡±

    ¡°King, are you awake?¡± Old Cat asked respectfully.

    ¡°Yes,¡± Matcha opened his mouth and revealed his sharp teeth. He let out a yawn and jumped off the bed.

    However, when his feetnded on the ground, with a squish, Matcha¡¯s expression changed. He looked at his feet and immediately eximed, ¡°Who pooped in my room?¡±

    Old Cat said awkwardly, ¡°King, yesterday night you were smoking weed and when you were high, you did this.¡±

    Another cat at the side giggled, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say it was our privilege to do it anywhere. From today on, all the cats don¡¯t need to do it in the toilet.¡±

    Matcha held his head and said with disbelief, ¡°I said that?¡±

    At this moment, moans could be heard from the bed. Matcha turned around and saw Lion Head sat up. He licked his lips at Matcha and said, ¡°Matcha, you were impressivest night.¡±

    ¡°****¡± Matcha gasped and he was unable to close his mouth. He was shocked as he looked at the bed and then at Old Cat, ¡°What¡¯s going on? Her her her... Me me me...¡±

    Old Cat said, ¡°King, you forgot? You snatched her over from Roly Poly. After you finished pooping yesterday night, you asked a cat to bring her over. You said you wanted to insult Roly Poly and make him a cuckold.¡±

    Matcha covered his face with his paws and said, ¡°Why didn¡¯t any of you stop me?¡±

    Lion Head shifted and the bed let out a horrendous squeak. She grabbed onto Matcha¡¯s paw and said, ¡°Matcha~ Why are you ignoring me?¡±

    Matcha felt a shudder and stood up immediately. He withdrew himself from Lion Head with some struggle and headed out of his room. He pointed in the direction of Lion Head and signalled to Old Cat to finish her off.

    ¡°I hand this over to you, find an opportunity to secretly finish her off.¡±

    At this moment, a shout sounded and a bolt of lightning rushed over. He shouted, ¡°King, things aren¡¯t good! Roly Poly had rushed in!¡±

    ¡°Hm, this scum still dares toe here!¡± Matcha¡¯s eyes shone and lifted the corner of his mouth. He revealed a cruel and savage grin.

    A ck cloak was ced over Matcha and he entered a hall via the long corridor and said, ¡°My cats, follow me and finish off this damn cat!¡±

    Meow! In the surrounding walls, countless green and yellow pupils shone.

    As Zhao Yao threaded along, there were more cats¡¯ poop beneath his feet. He couldn¡¯t take it anymore and activated his ability of repulsion. He body floated slightly above the ground and flew ahead.

    ¡°This damn cat, why do all his subordinates not know how to use the toilet?¡± As Zhao Yao controlled the repulsive field, it seemed like he had a pair of invisible legs stepping on the ground. ¡°Initially the use of repulsion is mystical. It was like using a pair of invisible limbs to move about. But I had to use it in this circumstance.¡±

    At this moment, Zhao Yao¡¯s ear twitched. He vigorously turned towards the direction of the castle and heard the shrieks from cats.

    ¡°What happened?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes shifted and instantly flew in the direction of the castle.

    ...

    ¡°Matcha!¡± The white-furred Roly Poly stood up straight. He raised a paw and shouted at Matcha who was standing on a faraway raised tform, ¡°Your action is incorrigible! I¡¯m determined to send you to the depths of hell!¡±

    ¡°He he he he!¡± Matcha covered his face as he smirked to himself.

    ¡°Roly Poly, you¡¯re the foolish cat! I¡¯ve already evolved into a new era of species and had be the god of this world! A limited cat like you aren¡¯t able to defeat me!¡± Matchaughed maniacally, ¡°This is like a mice trying to defeat a cat and you¡¯re the mice.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m the cat that inherited the cafe. And it can only be me!¡±

    ¡°Ah!¡± Airne and Uncle Egg shuddered at the sight of Matcha.

    Uncle Egg eximed, ¡°What a strong force of evil! Matcha had alreadypletely see himself as an entity beyond a cat!¡±

    Roly Poly stood squarely in front of the two cats. He licked his white fur and said coldly, ¡°Matcha, you thought you are the only one improving? I¡¯ve continued training to prevent you from scheming to inherit the cafe. When the cafe was harassed by you, I didn¡¯t appear. When Lion Head was humiliated by you, I didn¡¯t appear. I didn¡¯t appear for the rest of my old friends too. Even my body of white fur was a result of my training. I have maximised my ability to defeat you!¡±

    Matcha looked at Roly Poly and stopped the surrounding cats who were ready to start a fight. He shouted at them, ¡°Don¡¯t interfere in this fight. Only I will take him out!¡±

    ¡°Roly Poly!¡±

    ¡°Matcha!¡±

    At that instant, they collided and their paws swiped at lightning fast speed. They continued colliding and loud thuds emanated.

    ¡°Too weak, too weak, you¡¯re too weak!¡± Matcha smirked, ¡°That¡¯s your everything? Roly Poly! Compared to my far superior abilities, you¡¯recking by so much!¡±

    At that instant, time stopped and Matcha directed countless punches at Roly Poly and this resulted in a him being heavily bruised.

    As time continued, Roly Poly fell onto the ground and Matcha stepped on his face, ¡°This has ended. Roly Poly, the sole inheritor of the cafe is me, Matcha.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re wrong, Matcha! You havemitted a fatal mistake!¡± Roly Poly squinted his bloody eyes. He pointed his paw at Matcha and shouted, ¡°I¡¯ve already calcted the length of your time stoppage. Looking at my injuries, you¡¯ve finished utilised your ability in one breath!¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Matcha was shocked.

    At the next moment, starting from Roly Poly, the surrounding objects became invisible and this started spreading throughout the castle.

    ¡°Matcha! You havended yourself in my hell of invisibility!¡± Roly Poly began retaliating. Not to mention that Matcha wasn¡¯t even able to locate Roly Poly, he didn¡¯t know even know where himself was.

    As the whole castle became invisible, Matcha couldn¡¯t detect anything.

    Zhao Yao who was hiding in one corner witnessed this battle. He was evaluating the changes to the two cats too, ¡°In terms of abilities, there weren¡¯t much differences. As for personality, Matcha can be said to have revealed his true inner character.¡±

    As he witnessed Matcha who was screaming in distress, Zhao Yao shook his head and said, ¡°It¡¯s time for me to interfere.¡±

    At the next instant, Zhao Yao utilised Elizabeth¡¯s sorcery. An invisible wave spreaded throughout the castle. At that instant, all the cats¡¯ five senses were taken away from them. Even for Matcha and Roly Poly, their visions became ck and fell to the floor.

    As the blurly tried to regain their consciousness, they felt a pair of huge hands touching them.

    Matcha was the first to open his eyes. As he witnessed Zhao Yao who was stripping him, he shrieked, ¡°Zhao Yao! You¡¯re awake?¡± He was unhappy on the inside as he thought to himself, ¡°This old guy actually woke up.¡±

    But at the next moment, he grabbed onto Zhao Yao¡¯s arm and cried, ¡°Zhao Yao, I miss you!¡±

    Roly Poly was rudely awoken by Matcha¡¯s cries. When he saw Zhao Yao in front of him, he sprung on him, ¡°Zhao Yao, you are finally awake!¡± Roly Poly thought to himself too, ¡°Damn it. Almost, the cafe was almost mine!¡±

    As he saw the two cats crying like children, Zhao Yao smiled dly. ¡°At least I didn¡¯t waste my efforts doting on you.¡±

    Matcha pointed at Roly Poly and shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao, Roly Poly wanted to snatch over the cafe when you were asleep. He also wanted to chase us out and he even pooped on your bed. I want justice to be served.¡±

    Roly Poly covered Matcha¡¯s face with his palm. ¡°Zhao Yao! Matcha wanted to snatch over the cafe first. He even took the cafe¡¯s money to buy games. He almost cause the cafe to shut down!¡±

    ¡°Roly Poly didn¡¯t even visit you at the hospital!¡±

    ¡°Matcha embezzled the money used for your hospital fees!¡±

    As he listened to them, Zhao Yao¡¯s expression became more gloomy. With at thud, the cats¡¯ heads mmed on the ground simultaneously. ¡°Shut up.¡±

    He opened the door to extradimensional belly. Zhao Yao looked at Old Cat, Uncle Egg, Airne, Sausage, Meat Bun and Lion Head who were briefly awoken and said, ¡°All of you head back. You all had enough.¡±

    As the listened to Zhao Yao, Old Cat and the rest didn¡¯t dare to resist and headed back with a shudder. As for Matcha¡¯s guys, they did not dare to do anything as they witnessed that Matcha and Roly Poly did not dare to retaliate.

    As he watched the cats headed in one by one, Zhao Yao smiled with satisfaction. Matcha, Roly Poly, Old Cat, Uncle Egg, Airne, Sausage, Meat Bun and Lion Head amounted to one contact cat and seven non-contract cats. Zhao Yao was hence awarded a total of 2400 experience points. This was a great outing.

    ¡°Okay, we are going to find the next cat.¡± Zhao Yao headed out of the castle, ¡°This castle, as well as the forests andndscape of the surroundings... I don¡¯t remember there¡¯s such a ce near Jiangmen City. Not only the cats and human, the whole world didn¡¯t seem right.¡±

    Zhao Yao exited the castle and looked at the skies. He was stunned.

    The sun that was hanging in the sky had changed to a cat¡¯s face smiling onto earth.

    This cat¡¯s face was Fish Ball¡¯s. Fish Ball was looking down with affection as he emanated his warmth.

    ¡°There¡¯s really some problem with this world.¡±

 Chapter 415: 411 Ponder

    <h4>Chapter 415: 411 Ponder</h4>

    Speaking about the changes to humans and cats as well as the weirdndscape and structures, the length of two years could probably exin those changes. However, the sun that had changed into Fishball¡¯s face was simply unexinable.

    Zhao Yao patted his face and muttered, ¡°Am I under some spell?¡± He withdrew his five sense and immediately returned it back.

    He looked at his surroundings, lifted his head but the sun was still Fishball¡¯s face.

    He deeply exhaled, ¡°This spells trouble.¡±

    ¡°This isn¡¯t an illusion, this fantasy...¡± Zhao Yao shut his eyes and the ominous feeling became more evident in him. He slowly began thinking of events that took ce.

    ¡°I can remember what happened prior to I was awake. When I returned home, Matcha and the rest were asleep. I went to sleep after washing the dishes. But when I was awoken...¡±

    He tried to recall the various happenings, the people and cats he met. However, besides the familiar faces, he could barely remember the rest.

    With Zhao Yao¡¯s concentration and his abilities, his memory was incredible. To not even remember a single face, it was not possible.

    ¡°Am I... dreaming?¡± Zhao Yao recalled when Matcha and the rest fell onto the ground as well as the changes that happened to Xiao Yu, Zhao Xue and the rest. It seemed to be what they wanted to change into, ¡°This isn¡¯t my dream? It¡¯s a connected dream of ours?¡±

    It seemed like this situation was moreplicated that it seemed, Zhao Yao hence decided to retrieve the rest of his cats.

    ¡°Irregardless, I will retrieve all the cats first and gain the experience points.¡± Zhao Yao suddenly frowned, ¡°If this is really a dream, I wonder if the book¡¯s task is real. I can ask Zhao Xue and the rest.¡±

    When he exited the forest, Zhao Yao pointed to the sun and asked them, ¡°What¡¯s up with this?¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Xiao Yu looked at the sky and was suspicious, ¡°Isn¡¯t it just the sun? Why?¡±

    Zhao Yao was speechless, ¡°That¡¯s Fishball! This is obviously Fishball!¡±

    ¡°Fishball? The sun is just the sun, how can it be Fishball?¡± Xiao Yu was puzzled, ¡°And Zhao Yao, you¡¯re out so quickly? Where¡¯s Matcha, Roly Poly and the rest?¡±

    As Zhao Yao looked at Zhao Xue, Zhao Shiyu and Xiao Yu who thought that the sun was still the same and had forgotten the existence of Fishball, he could not help but sighed. ¡°No one is aware of the oddness of the sun? Only I¡¯m aware that this might be a dream?¡±

    As he sat on the car, Xiao Yu and the rest drove back to the cafe. He began conversing with them. He started asking the outsiders about things that they could not possibly know about him, Zhao Xue and Xiao Yu when they were young. As he heard them answer, he asked a few questions that he did not have the answer to too.

    ¡°Zhao Xue, when did you start like women?¡±

    ¡°Xiao Yu, when did you start having your dog?¡±

    As he saw them answer fluently and exining with details. Zhao Yao could somewhat confirm that Xiao Yu and Zhao Xue were real people. If not they could not have known so much. Even for details that Zhao Yao didn¡¯t know, they could answer sincerely with details.

    Zhao Xue curiously looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Brother, why do you have so much to talk about today?¡±

    ¡°He he, I couldn¡¯t remember many things after sleeping for two years. I am just trying to confirm some matters.¡± Zhao Yao looked at the two of them and asked hisst question, ¡°What did you all have for dinner yesterday?¡±

    As they listened to this simple question, Zhao Xue, Xiao Yu and Xiao Shiyu revealed nk stares. They seemed to be trying their best to recall but couldn¡¯t remember anything.

    In dreams, some memories would be blurry. With the human¡¯s consciousness, we cannot possibly every specific detail in the world. Hence, there were some that would have been neglected by our consciousness.

    Just like Zhao Xue and the rest, they did not actually spent two years in their dreams. The context of the dream allowed them to feel like they had actually spent two years. If they tried to recall specific details like what they ate and how much they spent on a daily basis, it would be a blur.

    As he looked at their expressions, he was more or less confident that they were existing in the same dream.

    But he still couldn¡¯tprehend why Noodle became Ho Hao Cang.

    ¡°Perhaps Noodle saw Ho Hao Cang previously and thought that he was too handsome and wanted to be this man?¡± Zhao Yao could only think of this exnation. Even with his wonderful imagination, he still couldn¡¯t think of the real reason for that. Their consciousness had ovepped and this weird urrence took ce.

    Zhao Yao stroke his chin and thought, ¡°Looking at things now, even though this dream is connected by many people and cats. However, they could only change themselves and not others. Zhao Xue bing a guy, Xiao Yu bing a beauty, Matcha and Roly Poly fighting for the cafe. The rest of the supercats would have probably became what they envisioned. This dream seemed to be triggered by an ability and probably by a supercat or an apostle.¡±

    ¡°And to escape this scenario...¡± The first thought Zhao Yao had was death. ¡°Let¡¯s try other methods and if all of them don¡¯t work out, let¡¯s see if death can escape the dream.¡±

    After all, Zhao Yao still has two lives. There¡¯s capacity for him to try, even if he died once, he wasn¡¯t afraid.

    ¡°I¡¯m able to awaken myself in my sleep, this probably still had to do with my ability of five cats.¡± This ability was holistic and apart from endowing his body, it also enhanced his consciousness. Hence, he could be awoken in his dream.

    But he also realised that he couldn¡¯t change himself like what Zhao Xue and Xiao Yu did as he wasn¡¯t actually dreaming and didn¡¯t have the ability to change himself and his experiences.

    ¡°But the person orchestrating this isn¡¯t that powerful.¡± From the situation, if the person could properly orchestrate the dream, the dream wouldn¡¯t be like that.

    The scenes and rules in the dream possibly still had to fulfil everyone¡¯s consciousness. Only their personal areas could be altered.

    Upon reaching back to the cafe, Zhao Yao still wasn¡¯t able to formte a n to resolve the dream. He still thought ofpleting the mission first to attain the experience points.

    ¡°Completing the task in this illusion would be useless. However, albeit the illusory, it still wasn¡¯t a whole another world. Also, after I was made aware that this was a dream, the task on the book didn¡¯t alter. There was still a chance that I could attain real experience points uponpleting the task.¡±

    Til here, Zhao Yao decided to continue finding the rest of the cats. Firstly, he called out for Dust Ball in the extradimensional belly but there was still no response. He asked Xiao Shiyu and the rest but they didn¡¯t had a clue where they were.

    At this moment, he saw the broadcast on the television in the hall.

    ¡°Wee the China¡¯s Best Cat. Let¡¯s wee Contestant Number 12...¡±

    As he looked at the performance of cats dancing and singing, Zhao Yao was curious, ¡°Why is there this programme? That¡¯s not right, this must be under the influence of some person or cat.¡±

    As the show continued, the contestants, the contestants¡¯ parents were all anticipating the judges¡¯ turning of chairs.

    When one chair turned, the cat was actually Elizabeth.

    She said to the contestant that finished his performance, ¡°What¡¯s your dream?¡±

    Elizabeth had a body full of white fur. She was toned and seemed to have trained her body.

    ¡°I know your dream of performing.¡± Elizabeth sat in her hair and she teared, ¡°I¡¯m touched by your story. It has been long since I saw a young person like you who sacrificed so much for music. When I looked at you, it reminds me of when I was young. Let¡¯s all give her a round of apuse.¡±

    As she returned to the backstage, she walked as she cleaned away the eyedrops. She was unsatisfied and said, ¡°What¡¯s this all about? This person¡¯s out of tune and I have to ensure that she wins? Even if I have won Oscar, I can¡¯t continue acting. You all really think the audiences are blind?¡±

    Elizabeth¡¯s assistant Xiao Ji nodded in agreement. ¡°Miss Elizabeth, you don¡¯t be too angry. We have no choice, thepany and sponsor want us to secure the first ce for her. The following ten years contract was already signed. You just have to tolerate for a little bit.¡±

    ¡°Then tell her to practise her singing. She can¡¯t even enunciate properly.¡±

    Elizabeth sat in the dressing room backstage as she looked at her make up assistant. She was very unhappy as she eximed, ¡°And is the host a fool? Stole my line? Crazy trying to be famous? Tell the director to tell him not to disrupt me when I speak.¡±

    The manager carefully walked to her side and handed over a document, ¡°Sister Elizabeth, this is the contract as the ambassador for Chanel watch. Take a look...¡±

    ¡°Only $50,000 annually?¡± Elizabeth frowned, ¡°What¡¯s the price for Bai Baihe previously? Tell them that whatever her worth is, I want double of that.¡±

    Her manager nodded. He dialed a number and headed out.

    Elizabeth shrieked as she looked into the mirror. ¡°What¡¯s this? Do you know how to perm? My fur¡¯s naturally more robust, you didn¡¯t pull them straight. I will look too fat when I¡¯m on television.¡±

    Her assistant immediately exined, ¡°Sorry Sister Elizabeth, she just joined us yesterday and she¡¯s still inexperienced.¡±

    Elizabeth rolled her eyes, ¡°Be more professional okay? If you don¡¯t know you can flip through my portraits. When was my fur that robust?¡±

    The manager came back, ¡°Sister Elizabeth, you have dinner with Boss Huang tomorrow...¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not going.¡± Elizabeth was enraged, ¡°This old pervert. It was okay if he only stroke my back. Thest time we had dinner, he touched my stomach for almost half an hour. Do you know I went back and had diarrhea for a day? You can¡¯t just touch a cat¡¯s stomach.¡±

    At this moment, the phone rang and the manager ced the phone carefully beside Elizabeth¡¯s ear. ¡°Sister Elizabeth, a call from your mother.¡±

    ¡°Hello? Didn¡¯t I just transfer you money?¡±

    ¡°You finished spending already?¡±

    ¡°Are you all cats? I spend the entire day working in the limelight. You actually finished spending my hard-earned money!!¡±

    Bam, the phone was swiped onto the floor and Elizabeth spoke with annoyance, ¡°If they call, don¡¯t pass it to me.¡±

    At the same moment, Zhao Yao had already arrived at the lobby of the broadcastingpany. He smiled as he looked at the building, ¡°This Elizabeth...¡±

    The security guard looked at Zhao Yao as he entered and rushed to stop him. ¡°This gentleman, you need to register to enter. If you don¡¯t have permission, you can¡¯t just enter.¡±

    Zhao Yao was unconcerned and casually said, ¡°Is Elizabeth inside?¡±

    The security guard revealed an expression of annoyance, ¡°If you are really Elizabeth¡¯s fan, please wait outside. I can¡¯t let you enter to find her.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m her fan?¡± Zhao Yao smiled and shook his head, ¡°Forget it. There¡¯s no point speaking to a NPC like you. I will just enter to find her.¡±

    Since he had sufficient confidence that this was a dream, he didn¡¯t need to have as much considerations. But since it was a dream connected with many others, he didn¡¯t know if they would remember him when they were awaken.

    Utilising Roly Poly¡¯s ability, his head vanished. Followed by the security guard¡¯s scream, the whole building became invisible. A golden glow was showing and it spread to the top of the building.

    ¡°What?¡± Elizabeth who was at the dressing room was shocked at the building turning invisible. She managed to react at the next instant, ¡°This is Zhao Yao?¡±

    At the next moment, the floor beneath was teared open and Zhao Yao stepped up with a golden glow.

    ¡°Elizabeth, it¡¯s time to return home.¡±

    As Zhao Yao brought Elizabeth out of the building, many police cars were already headed in his direction.

    Zhao Yao squinted and revealed a slight grin, ¡°Interesting. Even though this is a dream. There were many illogical happenings to cats and human. But for society as a whole, it still reverted back to reality.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s good too. I will just make it bigger scale and see if I can lure out the person behind all these. At the same time, I will let Dust Ball and the rest know I¡¯m awake.¡± Zhao Yao smiled, ¡°And let¡¯s see how far I can go in this society.¡±

    In reality, even though Zhao Yao¡¯s abilities were considered superb. He still had considerations like family, friends and hence couldn¡¯t maximise his abilities and fought in whatever way he wanted. However, in the dream, he didn¡¯t need to care about his identity and fought.

    Zhao Yao always knew that his abilities were strong and were extremely strong. If it was just him, he could still safely be up against the weapons of nations. In this dream, he could finally maximise his abilities.

    Zhao Yao slightly manoeuvred his hand and a golden glow of repulsive field shed past. The cars that were approaching came to a halt. The policemen on the cars lost consciousness at that instant.

    Zhao Yao smiled and looked at Elizabeth, ¡°Where¡¯s your father, mother and sister?¡±

    ...

    ¡°Emergency news! A headless man entered xx Broadcasting Company and abducted famous movie star, Elizabeth. Assaulting the police...¡±

    ¡°Headless man breached the blockades of armed police. Over thousands of police could not stop him!¡±

    ¡°Armed personnel are in action. xx Squad entered the town...¡±

    ¡°All citizens, the suspect is dangerous, please evacuate...¡±

    In a short while, Zhao Yao¡¯s action was disclosed to everyone in the dream. Those apostles that were in the dream were notified of the news too.

    In the training room, Yue Shan just thought for a moment and all kinds of natural elements emerged and filled up every inch of his surrounding space. It turned a tank in front of him into scrap metal.

    ¡°I have trained hard for 2 years. The strength of this did not change much but the my technique has improved to an unimaginable level. But it is too bad that the Headless Horseman is missing.¡±

    Yue Shan exhaled. After the two years in the dream, he felt that his ability improved quickly and was extraordinary. But once he reached the pinnacle and looked around, there wasn¡¯t apetitor on his level as the Headless Horseman had already disappeared for two years.

    At this moment, his phone rang. As he opened his message inbox, he ravished with joy.

    He rushed out of the training room and arrived at the field. He saw a streak of silver glowing on the running track. It was like a silver ring that covered the track and it was Lin Chen running.

    Without any known reason, over the 2 years, besides Yue Shan, even Lin Chen¡¯s improvement was incredible. The speed of improvement was unimaginable. He could reach any corner of Jiangmen City within three minutes.

    As he watched the silver ring that formed on the track, Yue Shan shouted, ¡°Lin Chen! The guy is here. The Headless Horseman, he finally arrived.¡±

    With a soft buzz, the silver glow dissipated and Lin Chen appeared behind Yue Shan instantly. His eyes filled with a vigour and said, ¡°What did you say?¡±

    Beside Yue Shan and Lin Chen, all the apostles in the dream improved at ridiculous speeds and reached a level which they could not even imagine. As they looked at the Headless Horseman which had appeared, some of them looked with disdain, some sneered, some were angered as they sought revenge.

    Zhao Yao didn¡¯t know all these, he appeared in front of a big vi. His ear twitched and could hear the movements inside.

    ...

    In the hall of the vi, three fat ragdolls were lying on the sofa. There were maids all around serving seafood, beef, mutton and all kinds of delicacies to them.

    Since Elizabeth became a huge star and earned a lot of money, they had totally became leeches. They justze around in the vi, watched television and movies, y games and ate all the delicacies that were served to them. They even required people to carry them to the toilet, wipe their buttocks. Their lives were considered to be of decadence.

    But this lifestyle was one which they considered to be lovely.

    The fat Catherine ced down the phone and was displeased, ¡°Elizabeth don¡¯t want to pick up my call, the money for our Japanese cattle is almost up?¡±

    ¡°What happened to her?¡± Diana who was perming her hair for more volume said, ¡°I just ordered new clothes from Europe. I paid the deposit and I am still waiting for her to transfer the rest of the money.¡±

    ¡°Exactly,¡± Caesar said as he chewed on the beef that was served to him, ¡°The furnishing at home should be changed. Staring at the same decorations everyday makes my mood worse.¡±

    While these three cats were conversing, the whole vi shook and the roof was lifted up. Zhao Yao whose head was invisible stepped down with a golden glow.

    ¡°Diana, Catherine and Caesar, time to go home.¡±

    Zhao Yao employed his repulsive field which resulted in the abilities of the rest rendering useless.

    As he saw the cats returning back to his extradimensional belly, he smiled with satisfaction as his experience points increased by 1,000.

    ¡°Even though I don¡¯t know where are the rest of the supercats, they should already been notified that I am awake...¡±

    At this moment, silver light across the sky suddenly exploded out. The endless streaks epassed his body.

    Even though the streaks seemed limitless, they were still unable to infiltrate Zhao Yao¡¯s repulsive field.

    Zhao Yao curiously looked at the silver streaks, ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± When he was about to employ his ability, the streaks had already disappeared.

    The first to caught up to Zhao Yao was Lin Chen who had incredible speed. In the dream, his speed was even more terrifying. From appearing to attacking to retreating, Zhao Yao did not even clearly see him.

    ¡°Hmph!¡± Lin Chen who retreated to a thousand metres away exhaled and was happy, ¡°Evidently after two years of tough training, even the Headless Horseman couldn¡¯t resist my email protected

    Lin Chen revealed a grin as he thought of his opponent being stunned when he struck and offered no resistance.

    ¡°But that turtle shell is still troublesome. It looks like I need to strike it a few more times.¡±

    Lin Chen exhaled and entered a state of haste. His surroundings came to stand still as he appeared beside Zhao Yao.

    He appeared, attacked and retreated win immense speed. This was his tactic. But when he came to where Zhao Yao was, he wasn¡¯t there.

    ¡°Eh? Invisible?¡± As he saw that there wasn¡¯t anything in that space, Lin Chen smiled, ¡°How did I forget that you had the ability to turn invisible.¡±

    He then utilised the lens on his right eye to observe the thermal distribution in the surrounding. He then observed Zhao Yao¡¯s heat map and shed at it.

    In the state of haste, the surrounding came to a stand still yet again but his digital lens wasn¡¯t affected as the speed of operating that was even faster.

    But as the silver streaks enveloped Zhao Yao¡¯s body, time really came to a stand still.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s purpose to be invisible wasn¡¯t to hide but to utilise Cat Princess¡¯ dress to employ both abilities.

    While time came to a stand still, Zhao Yao configured and the repulsive field had already enveloped Lin Chen. When time continued, Lin Chen felt like he had be amber and was hung in mid-air and could not move at all.

    Zhao Yao looked at Lin Chen who was solidified like a statue. He smiled, ¡°So it¡¯s you. Thought of being faster in your dream? Even though it¡¯s a dream, you still can¡¯t beat me.¡±

    ¡°How is this possible? How did he catch me while I was in the haste? Even bullet couldn¡¯t catch me now, what did he do?¡± He couldn¡¯tprehend this at all.

    Zhao Yao casually pped and Lin Chen fell onto the ground and pain reverberated throughout his body and was temporarily paralyzed.

    At the same time, sirens could be heard. Zhao Yao lifted his head and fleets of armed helicopters surrounded him.

    ¡°Headless Horseman, immediately...¡±

    ¡°These things, just don¡¯t deploy them.¡± Zhao Yao said. The boundaries of his repulsive field extended by three hundred metres. The golden glow swept across all the helicopters in the sky and caused them to drop from the sky.

    At the same time, in the clouds up high, a cat that resembled a purple fog was floating up there. Rays shot out from the eyes as he seemed be observing Zhao Yao¡¯s battle.

    ¡°Such a troublesome apostle was brought tin.¡± The purple cat frowned, ¡°Whatever, kill him first. If he continued doing whatever he wanted, it would affect others¡¯ dreams.¡±

    Varying from Zhao Yao¡¯s inference, the person that brought in all the people and cats weren¡¯t able to control them but were able to orchestrate all the NPCs in the dream.

    ¡°Hm?¡± After settling all the helicopters, Zhao Yao¡¯s ear twitched. With a scream, two fighter nes shot out from the skies and dropped two missiles which headed in his direction.

    As the missiles approached Zhao Yao within a three hundred metres range, a streak of gold gold stretched across the sky at that instant. The two missiles in the sky were sted out of thin air and smokes engulfed.

    Even though the missiles were of high calibre and were enough to cause a few small buildings to copse. However, to Zhao Yao, they were not much.

    But this wave of explosions was only the start. Apanied by screams, more supersonic fighter ns were up in the air. A few kilometres out, over hundred tanks and military vehicles headed straight at Zhao Yao.

    As he saw that the human army was closing up on Zhao Yao, Purple Cat up in the sky smiled, ¡°The abilities aren¡¯t meant for usage during war from the start. No matter the strength of the abilities, they can¡¯t match up to the cannons and missiles of humans.¡±

    At the same time, the tanks stopped and adjusted their cannons to face Zhao Yao and locked him as the target.

    ¡°Eh?¡± Zhao Yao frowned and suddenly felt a huge threat.

    At the next instant, the tanks violently shook and the cannons shot out withrge res, tens of artillery were already headed in the direction of Zhao Yao.

    The cannonballs would explode into fittings. The shrapnels and bearings would decimate anything in a radius of ten metres and this formed a death zone.

    This round of attacks was just the start. After that, all the tanks roared. After each round, the ammunitions were reloaded and within a few minutes, over hundreds of cannonballs were in the sky again. The cannonballs had already covered Zhao Yao¡¯s hundred over metres of area. They produced holes all about and resulted in scorched soil.

    ¡°It¡¯s ended.¡± As he looked at the area which Zhao Yao hadn¡¯t left from since the attacks, Purple Cat heaved a sigh of relief, ¡°With these attacks, even if it was iron man, he would have became scrap iron. This is the prowess of a modern army. To confront face-on, these abilities can¡¯t match up. Only my ability of creating dreams should be where abilities should be developing.¡±

    But as the fog cleared to reveal what was inside, it left Purple Cat stunned.

    The Headless Horseman stood there in his original position without any scratches. He looked at the army with a look of curiosity. He had already removed the little dress.

    ¡°How is this possible? He received such powerful attacks?¡± Purple Cat squinted. As the creator of the dream, he instantly detected that Zhao Yao was different.

    Even though Zhao Yao could be seen, but his surroundings couldn¡¯t be seen.

    He seemed to be standing in a white painting like he existed in a two-dimensional tform.

    Looking at this, Purple Cat was anxious, ¡°What other ability is this?¡±

    Actually Zhao Yao just activated the powers of his extradimensional belly and utilised the door to look at the outside world. As the extradimensional belly would emit a white flow, hence he looked like he existed in a white painting.

    As the owner of the extradimensional belly, he had the authority to control the door to it. Hence, he could at will but those cannons, fragments and shock waves simply could not infiltrated. It just looked like very close explosions. But because of the separation of dimensions, there was a world of differences.

    If Zhao Yao was willing, the people on the other side wouldn¡¯t even see him. But he wanted to attract the attention of the opposition and lured out the person behind this whole dream, hence he didn¡¯t just disappear.

    ¡°This is the power of a modern army?¡± Zhao Yao nodded his head, ¡°I¡¯m afraid besides the separation caused by my extradimensional belly, I couldn¡¯t head them face-on with all my other abilities.¡±

    Facing this batch of anti-personnel weapons, even Ares¡¯ repulsive field would be shattered. Super speed regeneration would result him in being decimated into a pulp.

    He could attempt to escape by stopping time but he was not able to face them ahead on. The power of illusion wouldn¡¯t work either.

    ¡°But with my extradimensional belly, I am undefeatable. This is my strongest defence, it¡¯s just that there wasn¡¯t an opponent that required me to use this.¡± Zhao Yao gently smiled, ¡°I could try out this new tactic in the dream.¡±

    With a thought in his mind, a gate appeared eight metres away from him. Simr to the ability of the absorption, the limit of the distance between gates was eight metres.

    Hence, two gates appeared on the battlefield which showed Zhao Yao¡¯s front and rear view.

    As the first gate disappeared, another gate appeared eight metres ahead with a thought in Zhao Yao¡¯s head.

    Hence, a weird urrence appeared. It was like a white painting as Zhao Yao appeared and disappeared as he headed towards the direction of the tanks.

    Purple Cat stared in amazement, ¡°What the hell is this ability?¡± He wasn¡¯t sure of what was going on as what Zhao Yao was doing was too strange.

    ¡°Hm, there¡¯s limitations to whatever abilities. I don¡¯t believe I can¡¯t finish you off. Continue the explosions!¡±

    As the creator of the dream, he couldn¡¯t control those who entered but he had the ultimate control over the NPCs.

    With the thought in his head, the tanks continued firing as fireballs rained the earth as they scorched the soil where Zhao Yao was originally on.

    As the fog disappeared, Zhao Yao still continued shing past with no injuries.

    ¡°Ah? What¡¯s going on?¡± Purple Cat was enraged, ¡°The rest of the army,e on!¡±

    The armoured vehicles rushed forward and the guns were targeted at Zhao Yao. Hundred of thousands of bullets pelted at Zhao Yao¡¯s direction. A bullet was able to tear apart any person and this round of attack swarmed like hos.

    But as Zhao Yao weaved through the gates, these bullets were just like an illusion passing though his body and weren¡¯t able to enter the extradimensional belly.

    At the next moment, the fighter nes screamed and released missiles from directly above and exploded around him.

    The ze, high temperature, metal shrapnels and shock wave decimated the whole area. Even the earth vibrated like a mini earthquake took ce.

    WIth the sheer force of the onught, Purple Cat was sure no apostle or cat could face that head-on. Even if tanks were under these attacks, the people inside would long be dead.

    But at the next moment, Headless Horseman shed past the explosions and reached the front of a tank. WIth a golden sh, the tank was held up by the cannon. A loud explosion ensured and the tank which weighed over a hundred tons was torn apart. With a dump, it flew out and rolled along.

    After the gate, he had reverted to Ares¡¯ repulsive field.

    That was the tremendous part of his tactic. Standing after the gate, he had immunity against the onught of the army. Even as he changed his ability, the gate wouldn¡¯t disappear.

    This meant he wouldn¡¯t need the little dress, he could hide behind the gate and change his ability to continue his attack. Only when he needed to move about, he would revert back to the extradimensional belly.

    Just like now, Zhao Yao¡¯s body shed past and rushed into the sea of tanks. The golden glow shed frequently and tore the tanks apart like they were toys.

    The Headless Horseman flickered about on the battlefield as he weaved through the army. It was like the cannons, armour piercing shells, guns and attacks were useless against him. Everytime he swiftly approached, the armoured vehicles and tanks would be ripped apart.

    Facing Zhao Yao, the modern army was rendered helpless.

    ¡°How is this possible?¡± Purple Cat looked at the scene beneath him. He stared in disbelief, ¡°The abilities could reach this stage?¡±

    ¡°Then let¡¯s try this.¡±

    Purple Cat had been developing his ability. But reaching this level of connectivity between the consciousness of people and cats, to continue maintaining this, it required a matured set of regtions.

    Purple Cat could not mess around like in his own dream, he needed to operate revolving around the others¡¯ consciousness.

    Also, to ensure that they would not wake up, he needed to maintain the regtions and ensure that it resembled reality. If it was too ridiculous, the people would be awaken from the dream.

    However, the greatest factor he could rely on was his ability to control the NPCs. His presentation of the modern army was holistic. To the people who were in the dream, it was like that of a divine presence.

    With Purple Cat¡¯s control, an intercontinental missile shot into the sky a few hundred kilometres out. It sped towards Zhao Yao at supersonic speed. With telecontrol and pin-point uracy by satellite guidance, he could control the speed and direction as he set Zhao Yao¡¯s position.

    While Zhao Yao finished off arge portion of the tanks, he saw that the opposition started to retreat. He didn¡¯t pursue, he stopped and rubbed his chin, thinking to himself, ¡°This squad of tanks wasn¡¯t my match. But as for those in the skies...¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the fighter nes circling but there wasn¡¯t much he could do. With his current abilities, there wasn¡¯t one that he could use to attack a supersonic jet that was more than a thousand metres away.

    ¡°This is my limit. I could protect myself but I couldn¡¯t attack.¡±

    At this moment, two streaks of shadows galloped over from the horizon. Zhao Yao squinted and was shocked, ¡°That¡¯s Sphynx cat and Baiquan.¡±

    Baiquan was holding onto Sphynx cat¡¯s neck as he was on Sphynx cat¡¯s back. They glided across the sky, heading to Zhao Yao.

    But looking at the look of this, they were a little shocked. Only when Zhao Yao signalled to them by hooking his fingers, they then rushed towards him. With Zhao Yao¡¯s permission, they entered the same dimensional space.

    Zhao Yao looked at them and asked, ¡°How did you find me?¡±

    Sphynx cat and Baiquan came over after knowing all the wild happenings. After all, Sphynx cat knew the real identity of the Headless Horseman.

    After a series of exnations, Sphynx cat looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°You created such a big mess, you should know that you¡¯re existing in a dream right?¡±

    Because of Sphynx cat¡¯s superior condition, his sense was far better than any ordinary organism. Hence, when Zhao Yao entered the dream, he had already regained his senses and realised where he was.

    As for Baiquan, he had strong resilience and sense, along with Sphynx cat¡¯s assistance, he regained his senses too.

    After they were awakened, they searched for many means to escape this dream but were not sessful. They were also detected by the person behind the dream and felt that everyone in the dream was secretly observing and against them.

    It was till Zhao Yao entered and created the big news that they came over.

    At the same time, the intercontinental missile ripped through the sky and was already reached a distance of a thousand metres away from Zhao Yao. With the increase of speed and adjustment in direction, it spiraled towards him like god¡¯s sword.

    In the extradimensional belly, he heard about Sphynx cat¡¯s experiences. He raised his eyebrow ¡°You tried so many methods so you all believed that only death could remove you from the dream?¡±

    ¡°Exactly,¡± Sphynx cat replied, ¡°Based on our investigations, the person behind the creation of the dream wants to catch us and kill us. He wanted to get rid of us from the dream by killing us as we were abnormal so as to sustain the dream.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s why? But a test by dying, you all aren¡¯t brave enough to do it right?¡± Zhao Yao smiled, ¡°He he, even if everyone knows that they can escape by dying, who will actually go try it out. Let me do it myself then.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes flickered as he continued, ¡°But if I really manage to escape, I still need to return. After all, I have to kill all the people and cats in this dream for them to escape. The two of you aren¡¯t enough.¡±

    While thinking, he grabbed Elizabeth¡¯s sister, ragdoll Diana. He looked at the fat ragdoll and asked, ¡°What¡¯s your ability? Tell me with specifics.¡±

    At the same time, the intercontinental missile was just over a hundred metres above Zhao Yao. It then exploded and created a huge fireball which covered an area with a radius of over a few hundred metres.

    Looking at the ze outside, Zhao Yao smiled. He didn¡¯t want to continue with the opposition and hence closed the gate.

    After over ten minutes, the ze and smog dissipated. Purple Cat looked at the empty space and heaved a sigh of relief, ¡°He¡¯s finally finished? Once the abnormality is gone, this dream would continue being sustained.¡±

    Charred ground desecrated the ce as plumes of smoke spiraled into the sky. It was horrific.

    Surrounded by the four elements encircling him, Yue Shan floated in mid-air as if he were a god. His eyes peered down at the burning crater beneath him as he sighed, ¡°Dead already? Headless horseman?¡±

    A blinding beam of light streaked across the sky as Explosive Man appeared right next to Yue Shan. Bursts of me continued to shoot out from his feet as he traversed the vast sky. Explosive Man had turned into a real-life Iron Man.

    ¡°Weak! This simply means that this man has fallen behind the times!¡± Explosive Man muttered, ¡°For years, I trained relentlessly in hopes of teaching him a lesson. Never did I expect him to lose to a bunch of army gimmicks. Weak.¡±

    Lin Chen had also reappeared in the battleground. He had only managed to escape by the skin of his teeth on ount of his extreme speed and the army¡¯s intervention. With the result of the military bombing staring straight at him, hemented, ¡°I must admit that his offensive and defensive skills are strong. However, he is simply too slow. Faced with an attack of such scale, he can only sh against it head-on. It¡¯s no wonder that he died in their hands.¡±

    Li Li, the Cat King of the South, was encapsted within the body of a water monster as she slowly sauntered towards the battleground. Scenes of the scorched earth and ruins left behind zoomed past her eyes. She thought, ¡°I never expected the government to stoop to such means. At this rate, even the bodies cannot be recovered.¡±

    Suddenly, a white figure whizzed past Li Li¡¯s eyes as the object slowly descended on top of the water monster¡¯s head. The white figure was none other than the Cat King of the East, Milk.

    This cat was responsible for endowing Lin Chen with his extreme speed. Based on government¡¯s record, Milk was the fastest supercat around and hence the rightful Cat King of the East.

    Milk tried his best to suppress the yawn as he asked, ¡°Tsk, why did you have to call me for reinforcement when it was settled so easily?¡± With that said, Milk had already disappeared, leaving behind a whiff of smoke. No living creature could possibly keep up with Milk. He was simply too fast. Even Lin Chen couldn¡¯t.

    At the same time, hordes of apostles had started to stream towards the battle scene. The ruins lying in front of their eyes baffled them as chatters broke out amongst them.

    ¡°Is the headless horseman really dead?¡±

    ¡°Hmph, I bet any of us here are more than capable of taking him down in this day and age.¡±

    Many apostles and supercats who craved for a stronger and more lethal power popted the dream world. Their prowess wielded in the dream world was umpteen times stronger than those in the real world.

    While the masses were all absorbed in their discussions, Explosive Man¡¯s bellowingughter caught all their attention, ¡°The headless horseman is already dead. Now that everyone is gathered here, isn¡¯t this a perfect opportunity for us to fight it out and dere who is the strongest amongst us all?¡±

    With that said, he slid a condescending re towards Yue Shan who continued to float in mid-air. The arrogance in Explosive Man¡¯s eyes was enough to make anyone¡¯s blood boil.

    However, Yue Shan kept his mouth shut. He didn¡¯t even bother to look at Explosive Man. Suddenly, a wave of immense force swept towards Explosive Man, leaving him no time to respond. A thunderous boom exploded into the surroundings when Explosive Man¡¯s body was smashed mercilessly against the ground.

    Yue Shan answered coolly, ¡°What makes you think that you¡¯re deserving of a fight against me?¡± He let out another sigh as he stared at the ruins beneath his feet. Immediately, he had disappeared, leaving the masses in a state of confusion and fear.

    ...

    After settling the troublesome apostle, the purple cat thought that it was finally time for a break. However, he was wrong. Suddenly, his eyebrows shot upwards as he realized, ¡°Hmph, someone was left out of my dream.¡± He could acutely detect an individualpletely unaffected by his ability despite how much he focused his power on the target.

    Immediately, he began by closing his eyes before he disappeared into a body of purple smoke, evaporating from the dream world.

    At the same time, that same body of purple smoke spiraled out of Zhao Yao¡¯s apartment. The purple smoke began to contort into the shape of a British Shorthair. This was the cat responsible for controlling all the NPCs (non-yer characters) in the dream world.

    ¡°Hmph, based on the data collected, the individual who haspletely disregarded my power should be hiding somewhere here.¡± Nightmare Cat said as he made his way through the unconscious bodies strewn across the floor. A smile tugged at his lips as he muttered, ¡°All soundly asleep. Where is that obnoxious one ...¡±

    He began his inspection on Dust Ball. A pool of purple fumes, which was invisible to the naked eye, poured out of his mouth before entering Dust Ball¡¯s head. Immediately, Nightmare Cat could see everything in Dust Ball¡¯s dream state.

    Currently, Dust Ball was fast asleep in the middle of a borderless catmint field. With her body scrunched into a ball, a wide grin remained stered on her face, just like those drunkards found on the streets.

    Nightmare Cat scowled at this sight and muttered with a voice of disdain, ¡°Just another useless catmint addict. What a boring dream.¡± From there, Nightmare Cat continued with his inspection and realized that everyone was happily absorbed in their dreams. Nothing seemed wrong.

    At this moment, a loud meow echoed from a corner of the room as Mango appeared from his toilet. His eyes were brimming with excitement when Mango stared at this cat which looked exactly like him.

    However, Nightmare Cat did not share the same excitement as Mango. Instead, he responded by sliding him a condescending re before grumbling, ¡°This fool! He stinks of poop and pee!¡±

    Meow! Mango let out another meow before dashing straight towards Nightmare Cat with a wide grin on his face. He was excited to meet a new friend who looked just like him!

    ¡°Stop! Stoping to me!¡± Nightmare Cat roared as he watched the filthy cat sprinting towards him. He threw his paw over his nose as he whined, ¡°Get lost, you smelly piece of shit!¡±

    However, Mango waspletely indifferent to the insults. Instead, he began to run faster and faster as his paws slid across the granite floor. It seemed like Mango was flying towards his ¡®new friend¡¯.

    ¡°Tsk, just another ordinary cat who can¡¯t even speak?¡± Nightmare Cat muttered as he twirled the whiskers in his paw.

    However, seeing that the smelly cat was not about to stop, Nightmare Cat had no choice but to activate his power, ¡°Go to sleep!¡±

    The same purple fumes, which were invisible to all except Nightmare Cat, began to spread from his mouth and towards Mango. Instantly, the entire body of purple fumes had been absorbed into Mango¡¯s body.

    However, the image of Mango instantly copsing to the floor did not happen as he had expected. Instead, Mango simply froze for a moment before he started to jump up and down again. Mango then pounced towards Nightmare Cat before sending a flurry of licks across his face.

    ¡°D*mn it, how did this stupid cat manage to resist my power even in such close proximity?¡± Nightmare Cat could feel the disgusting saliva thered all over his face as anger swelled up in him. In a fit of anger, he roared, ¡°How dare you try to lick me? How dare you try to make me your subordinate?¡±

    He then stretched open his tiny mouth before exerting every ounce of strength within him to vomit a giant body of purple fumes. The fumes enveloped Mango¡¯s body before he absorbed it in one clean breath.

    To Nightmare Cat¡¯s shock, that stupid cat was totally indifferent to it! Instead, he reached his paw forward before stuffing it down his outstretched mouth.

    ¡°Oh my god! What¡¯s that smell? When was thest time this cat showered?''¡± Nightmare Cat almost went unconscious from that putrid smell. He struggled relentlessly, in hopes of pushing this stupid cat away from him.

    However, Mango¡¯s entire weight was weighing down on him, rendering his struggle futile. In Mango¡¯s eyes, this was just another game as he continued to trample over Nightmare Cat¡¯s face with his filthy paws.

    ¡°D*mn it! Where did this fool get his strength from?¡± In a moment of fury, Nightmare Cat stretched opened his mouth before sinking his teeth into Mango¡¯s skin, ripping off a mouthful of fur.

    The pain seared through Mango¡¯s body, leaving him writhing in pain. Nightmare Cat expelled the fur from his mouth before chuckling, ¡°Stupid fe, do you know who you¡¯re up against? I¡¯m the only cat trained in Wing Chun ...¡±

    Meow! A nasty grimace spread across Mango¡¯s face as fury raged through his body. He pounced towards this violent cat before sending a barrage of ps across his face. Before Nightmare Cat could even retaliate, Mango had already sat right on top of him, preventing him from fighting back. Mango was not done yet. He continued his assault with another burst of ps until Nightmare Cat started cowering in fear.

    ¡°Hey, stop it! Stop it!¡± Nightmare Cat shut his eyes and shielded his tiny head with his even tinier paws, ¡°I submit, I submit to your rule!¡±

    Somehow, Mango seemed to have understood his cries and finally stopped the assault. He then embraced Nightmare Cat in his arms before sending another flurry of licks across his face.

    Nightmare Cat absolutely abhorred this treatment, but there was nothing he could do about it. To him, Mango was as strong as a dog and he simply couldn¡¯t break free from his clutches.

    Suddenly, an ingenious idea sprang into his head. A tail reached out from behind and rapped against the back of Mango¡¯s head.

    Mango immediately swept his head around, only to be disappointed by the sight a furry tail.

    This brief moment of distraction was more than enough for Nightmare Cat to slip through Mango¡¯s ws as he made a dash for a bedroom. He had detected a presence of another apostle inside.

    With one leap, his body had turned into a pool of purple fumes before they spread into Zhao Yao¡¯s head, entering his dream state.

    At the same time, a series of meows continued to puncture the air.

    ¡°Stay right there and wait for me if you dare call yourself a man! I wille back for you!¡±

    A look of confusion was stered on Mango¡¯s face when this puzzling scene unfolded in his eyes. He sprang onto Zhao Yao¡¯s bed beforemencing his futile search for his doppelganger.

    ...

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao and a few of his cats were gathered in the extradimensional belly within the dream state. His serious gaze swept towards Sphynx Cat as he instructed, ¡°I will test this hypothesis bymitting suicide. If I¡¯m not reived, it simply means that I¡¯ve returned to the real world, hence validating this method of escaping. Then, kill Diana and send her to me. I need her to send me back hereter.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Diana was barely able to breathe when she heard those words ringing in her head. It can¡¯t possibly be real. Before she could even move an inch, Sphynx Cat had already mmed his paw on her, restricting her every movement.

    Tears streamed down Diana¡¯s cheeks as her entire body quivered with fear, ¡°Please don¡¯t kill me! I promise that I¡¯ll be the most obedient cat ever! I will only eat cat food from now on! No more premium human food! I will take my fluids regrly and I¡¯ll never rub my butt against the bed anymore!¡±

    A faint smile stretched across Sphynx Cat¡¯s face as heforted her, ¡°Alright, little sister, stop crying. Didn¡¯t you hear what Zhao Yao was saying? This is all a dream. It isn¡¯t real ...¡±

    Zhao Yao waspletely indifferent to Diana¡¯s worries. With a flick of his fingers, a tiny dagger had appeared in his hand. With his arm stretched in front of him, he thrust the dagger towards his neck, only for it to stop centimeters away from him.

    Baiquan asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Boss? Is there something that we¡¯ve forgotten?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s hand began to tremble as he exined, ¡°Erm, everything¡¯s fine. I was just thinking of another way to end my life. This method sounds rather gruesome. I¡¯m sure there¡¯s a more civilized method to end a life.¡±

    Sphynx Cat could not believe his ears as he sneered, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that you actually fear death?¡±

    ¡°Erm, I¡¯m a little scared ...¡±

    Bam!

    Sphynx Cat¡¯s paw was already resting against Zhao Yao¡¯s chest as his heart was torn to pieces.

    Given the physical distance between them, there was no way Zhao Yao could possibly avoid this attack.

    In the real world, Zhao Yao could easily have easily swapped to timefreeze the moment he revived. Sphynx Cat would not have stood a chance.

    But now ...

    Zhao Yao simply copsed to the ground as his heartbeat grew slower and slower, ¡°Ahhh! Why did ... did you ... have ...¡± With onest breath, Zhao Yao had descended intoplete unconsciousness.

    Amidst the darkness clouding his sight, Zhao Yao could detect an intense stench stifling his breathing. Then, a furry hand began to tap against his head, again and again, jolting him from his sleep.

    Zhao Yao opened his eyes to Mango¡¯s furry tail pping against his face. Fear splintered his heart when Mango saw Zhao Yao¡¯s opened eyes. He immediately jumped down the bed, before disappearing into the living room.

    ¡°What the hell?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes swept across his room and immediately recalled everything that had happened in the dream. Usually, it was impossible for an ordinary person to recall the details in their dream. Everything in the dream would feel so blurry and hazy. However, Zhao Yao was no ordinary human. Everything which happened remained deeply etched at the back of his head.

    ¡°I guess my hypothesis was right.¡± With that, Zhao Yao dashed into the living room and started fishing for Diana¡¯s body from the pool of unconscious cats.

    Currently, Diana was still asleep as a trickle of saliva drooped from the corner of her lips.

    ¡°Sphynx Cat should have killed her in the dream world already.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s fingers started running through her fur as he muttered, ¡°Based on my experience, she should still be asleep in the real world even though she¡¯s already dead in the dream world.¡±

    With that thought, Zhao Yao began to shake Diana¡¯s body violently before consciousness started seeping into her. Suddenly, she let out an ear-splitting shriek with her eyes wide open.

    ¡°Alright, Diana. It was just a dream. Everything¡¯s fine, you¡¯re awake now.¡± Zhao Yaoforted her by cradling her in his arms, ¡°Isn¡¯t your own power rted to dreams? Why couldn¡¯t you differentiate it from reality?¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Diana¡¯s beautiful sapphire eyes started to examine her surroundings. Disappointment sagged through her as she moaned, ¡°It was all just a dream? My carefree lifestyle was all but a figment of my imagination? Why did you have to disturb me from that beautiful dream? I want to sleep! I want to return!¡± Finally, she recalled her purpose for returning. What Sphynx Cat had mentioned was probably true.

    ¡°Are you finally awake?¡± Zhao Yao sent another burst of ps across her head, ¡°Can you help me re-enter the dream?¡±

    Diana pondered for a moment but hesitated to reply, ¡°I should be?However, I¡¯ve never used my power for such arge-scale dream state.¡±

    ¡°Just try your best.¡± With Diana cradled in his arms, Zhao Yao brought her to the side of his bed, ¡°However, try to be fast. Even with my strength, it will take quite some time for me to kill everyone.¡±

    ¡°However, I need you to be asleep in order for my power to work.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s easy,¡± Zhao Yao grabbed a pillow from a corner before casting ¡®five sense deprivation¡¯ on himself. Immediately, he had copsed onto the bed.

    Despite his physical and mental strength, even Zhao Yao was not immune to the effects of the power.

    Rays of white light started to sweep across his eyes. By the time he had awoken, he found himself standing right in front of an ATM machine.

    Someone wasining behind him, ¡°Hey, what¡¯s the holdup? Do you even know how to use the machine?¡±

    Zhao Yao knew that something was amiss. He looked skywards and saw a regr sun staring straight at him. Immediately, he knew what had happened, ¡°Diana, stop ying, let me enter theirmon dream state.¡±

    Suddenly, the gentlest female voice you could ever imagine echoed in Zhao Yao¡¯s head, ¡°That was just a dream. Who is Diana? You don¡¯t even have a cat.¡±

    ¡°If you continue bullshitting, I will shave you bald when I get out.¡± Zhao Yao threatened.

    ¡°This devil,¡± Dianamented as her lips drew into a snarl. Immediately, his vision when blur before his unconscious mind was transported to themon dream state.

    Once again, he raised his head. This time around, the sun was still there. However, it was shooting out lights of all sorts of colors, turning Jiangmen City into a giant dancefloor.

    With a curl of his lips, Zhao Yao muttered, ¡°Fish Ball, that fe ...¡±

    Meanwhile, Nightmare Cat was also staring at this incredulous sight. He could hardly believe his eyes as hemented, ¡°What kind of bloody cat would dream of this? To think that he had sessfully achieved this in themon dream, just how bad does he crave for this?¡±

    With his control over the NPCs, including the various media outlets, Nightmare Cat broadcasted a series on information, reminding the masses that it was just a regr sight, nothing out of the ordinary. He could not allow anyone to realize that this was just a dream.

    ¡°Theposition in the air has caused the light rays to refract in an unorthodox manner, hence producing the variety of colors in the sky.¡±

    ¡°Global warming has caused detrimental impacts to our environment. The beautiful colors in the sky are but a warning of what is toe if we continue destroying our environment.¡±

    Thankfully, arge majority of the supercats and apostles took in the information hook, line and sinker. However, the few skeptical ones had started doubting the world they were living in.

    Nightmare Cat slid the revolving sun a condescending re and threatened, ¡°This stupid cat! I have located your position! I will never invite you into the next dream!¡±

    The sky was adorned with a rainbow of colors shooting out from that weird sun. Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t help but shake his head at this scene. All of a sudden, a gate appeared out of nowhere as Zhao Yao disappeared into his dimensional belly.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes nced across his mission panel and he realized that he had yet toplete the mission even though he had already met all the supercats back in his apartment in the real world.

    ¡°I guess most people are still clueless that this world is nothing but an extension of their imagination, a part of their dream state. In that case, my mission remains the same ¨C find my remaining suupercats and kill everyone living in this world to transport them back to the real world.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s fingers were running through his hair when a thought suddenly popped into his head, ¡°Do you know where Dust Ball, Ares, and Red Packet are hiding at?¡±

    Zhao Yao was inundated by a sea of shaking heads. This was the first time the supercats had gathered together since arriving in this dream world. However, they did share themon vague memory that everyone had left Zhao Yao¡¯s apartment.

    Suddenly, Sphynx Cat began to lick the corner of his lips before muttering, ¡°I do have some idea as to where Ares and gang are hiding.¡±

    Momentster, Sphynx Cat and Zhao Yao had re-appeared at a bustling street along Jiangmen City with Zhao Yao trailing immediately behind Sphynx Cat, ¡°How did you even learn about their whereabouts?¡±

    Sphynx Cat replied matter-of-factly, ¡°I was with them the moment I arrived in this dream world.¡± Suddenly, a whiff of familiar scent rushed into his nose, confirming the route.

    Look of suspicion and doubt appeared on Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he sneered, ¡°Are you sure? I don¡¯t want to spend the rest of the day looking for them in vain.¡±

    ¡°Stopining! I told you that I remembered! Anyway, we are almost there already. It should be around that corner.¡±

    Half an hourter, the duo continued to linger around that same spot as Sphynx Cat continued tracking that familiar scent. However, Zhao Yao had already stopped in his tracks. A monstrous object, resting in the middle of the road had caught his eye, ¡°What the hell is that?¡±

    Sphynx Cat slid him a disdainful re andmented, ¡°Isn¡¯t that just a regr transit elevated bus? Haven¡¯t you been on one before?¡± Evidently, an extended stay in the dream world had distorted the individual¡¯s perception of the world.

    ¡°Your perception of the world gets increasingly skewed as you spend more time in here. This means I have no time to waste.¡± Zhao Yao was left speechless, ¡°However, this transit elevated bus seems rather familiar ... don¡¯t tell me he was the one who created it.¡±

    The monstrous object lying in the middle of the road looked too futuristic to be real. The vehicle was at least six meters tall, towering over your normal cars and vans. However, there was a huge hollow gap beneath its chassis, allowing all vehicles to whizz under it. This was the project which Xiao Ming had invested in previously. I guess it finally took off in the dream world.

    As expected, a photograph of Xiao Ming was printed on the back of the vehicle. Xiao Ming was smartly dressed in his Canali suit, sporting his most radiant smile. He even had a cat in his arms.

    ¡°How narcissistic! Which person would even want their face printed on this monstrosity? And that cat...¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes squinted into a hard line as he recognized that cat from the picture, ¡°So that¡¯s where Red Packet has been hiding.¡±

    ...

    Perched on top of Jiangmen City¡¯s beautiful skyline was the tallest skyscraper. In it stood Xiao Ming dressed in his bathrobes with a bottle of champagne in his hands. From there, he had the perfect view of the city all to himself.

    ¡°This is spectacr.¡± A broad smile stretched across Xiao Ming¡¯s face. Memories of him turning his transit elevated bus project from a dream into reality flooded his mind. Now, he was a multi-millionaire sitting on his transportation throne. That warm, fuzzy feeling fluttered through him everytime he thought about it, ¡°With a new line opening tomorrow, thepany¡¯s stock will immediately skyrocket, turning me into the richest man in the world!¡±

    Red Packet was sunbathing on his exquisite Fabio leather sofa when his ws identally tore a hole in it.

    ¡°Hmph, if I was in a regr household, my owner would have killed me. However, I¡¯m the pet of the richest man alive. What is a Fabio sofa to me? Nothing! Absolutely nothing!¡±

    The pair of them was blissfully immersed in their dreams when Xiao Ming noticed a chilling presence in his vicinity. He opened his eyes to see the reflection of Zhao Yao inching towards him, ¡°You ...¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s time to wake up!¡± Zhao Yao roared as the deflective field tore through Xiao Ming¡¯s skin and crushed his vitals to pieces.

    ¡°Zhao Yao!¡± Red Packet¡¯s scream echoed throughout that extraordinary apartment. However, his escape had failed the moment Zhao Yao picked him off the ground before tossing him into the belly.

    ¡°Alright, just go and help me look for Ares and the rest.¡±

    The screams did not subside after he got thrown into the belly, ¡°Murder! Murder! Zhao Yao killed a person!¡±

    Meanwhile, Matcha, Elizabeth, Airne and Uncle Egg were all engrossed in a game of bridge,pletely indifferent to Red Packet¡¯s scream. Elizabeth spoke slowly but surely, ¡°What¡¯s so strange about Zhao Yao killing someone?¡±

    Red Packet could not believe the words echoing in his head, ¡°Murder! He murdered a living person! And it¡¯s a person we all know! I knew it! I knew he was the devil! He has been hiding all this while! Now, he¡¯s unleashing his true self! We¡¯re dead! We¡¯re all dead! Nothing can stop him!¡±

    Meanwhile, Xiao Ming had opened his eyes to a scene of a regr KFC restaurant. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Xiao Ming could only sigh in despair as he grumbled, ¡°So it was all a dream? And I couldn¡¯t even be the richest man in a dream! I am hopeless! Completely useless!¡±

    ...

    In an alley approximately 50 meters away from the bank stood Ares with his head squashed into a pair of stockings. With his voice muffled, he instructed, ¡°Everyone ready? Our livelihood will be dependent on the oue of today¡¯s mission.¡±

    Lucifer, F¨±jin, and Rakshasa stood by his side as their heads nodded along to each instruction uttered by Ares. They had disguised using the exact same ck stockings.

    Only Gaia was staring at a phone mounted on a selfie stick as he exined, ¡°Hi everyone! We won¡¯t be streaming our gamey today! Instead, we will be robbing a bank! I¡¯m sure none of you have ever seen it before, so please enjoy!¡±

    Ares¡¯s body locked up with rage when he heard Gaia¡¯s voice echoing in his head, ¡°Gaia, what the hell are you doing?¡±

    Gaia retorted, ¡°Are you blind? Obviously, I¡¯m live streaming! I know that I¡¯m the strongest and most skilled League of Legend yer to ever walk on the surface of Earth. However, I must do my part to maintain my fan base. Constant interaction is the key! Hence, I¡¯ll be doing more of this in the future!¡± Gaia noticed the skyrocketing number of viewers and was overwhelmed with excitement, ¡°Hey, look! Everyone¡¯s watching us! We¡¯re gonna be famous!¡±

    Ares retorted angrily, ¡°But we are robbing a god d*mn bank! Who even records themselvesmitting a crime?¡± Ares immediately pped the phone against the ground and lectured, ¡°No more bullshit from you! I expect professionalism throughout this entire mission! Understood?¡±

    ¡°Tsk.¡± Gaia scoffed before sweeping his head around.

    Suddenly, F¨±jin tapped on Ares¡¯s back and asked, ¡°Bro, none of us can drive. From what I¡¯ve seen in the movies, we need a driver to help us escape after our job is done.¡±

    Rakshasa added on, ¡°Stupid dumb dumb! Who even uses cash in this day and age! We¡¯ll obviously ask them to transact using Alipay!¡±

    ¡°R*tards!, I told you to be professional! How can we use Alipay?¡± Ares roared as he pped against their face, ¡°There is a god d*mn daily transaction cap in Alipay! We can¡¯t possibly use that!¡±

    F¨±jin¡¯s eyes were brimming with admiration as he muttered, ¡°You are a genius! Only a genius is able to anticipate that!¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t say? If not for my wit, how would I have ruled over this piece ofnd? If not for me, all of you would have been thrown behind bars, eating your prison food!¡± Ares eyeballed the cats in stockings as he continued, ¡°Once inside, F¨±jin will be responsible the hostage situation. After stashing all the money in our bags, we will escape using Gaia¡¯s power ... Gaia!¡± What the hell are you doing?¡±

    With his phone carefully tilted towards the perfect angle, Gaia exined, ¡°I¡¯m posting this on Weibo. My fans are concerned about my wellbeing. My inbox is flooded with questions on why I stop streaming.¡±

    ¡°Stop it!¡± Gaia¡¯s behavior was truly getting on Ares¡¯s nerves, ¡°Do you know what we are doing? One post on Weibo and the entire country learns of our n to rob this bloody bank!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s not possible.¡± Gaia pointed to a corner of his screen and responded, ¡°Look! I only have 1,426,296 followers. I¡¯m sure China has more people than that.¡±

    Bam!

    Ares¡¯s deflective field had surged forward before grabbing the phone from Gaia¡¯s paw and mming it against the ground. The mere force of the collision tore the phone to pieces as the remains flew in all directions. Ares was still panting from the boiling anger searing through him, ¡°I want you to focus on the task. No more bullshit about Weibo or any social media.¡±

    With that, he led his team down the alley before turning right towards their objective.

    Meanwhile, Gaia was already straggling behind the team when he secretly whipped out his second phone to take photos of this atrocity. This was followed by another Weibo message, ¡°First, I got scolded for using Weibo. Now, my phone was broken by some disgusting cat! How uncivilized! How dare they even call me their brother? I don¡¯t want to rob the bank with them anymore!¡±

    Finally, Ares raised his arm and stopped the team in their tracks. He slid the pair of them a nce, gesturing Lucifer and Gaia to take up position.

    ¡°Now!¡±

    Instantly, Ares¡¯s deflective field exploded into the surroundings, annihting anything which came into contact with it. Simrly, Rakshasa has sent a scurry of shock waves into the bank, destroying anything on sight. In an instant, all the security guards had copsed to the ground, unconscious.

    Immediately, a robotic voice echoed into the surroundings, ¡°This is a robbery! If you want to escape this ordeal with your precious life, do as I say. Put your hands behind your head andy down. Expose your belly as well!¡±

    Everyone started sliding each other a guarded look. However, there was no time to think. Another wave of attack by Ares hurled the desks into the air before mming it against the wall. Everyone¡¯s heart nearly stopped when they witnessed this outrageous scene and immediately acquiesced with the instruction.

    Ares then shouted his next instruction, ¡°Rakshasa, stay here and take care of the hostages! Everyone, follow me to the vault!¡±

    The remaining cats bolted towards the vault. Any security locks which impeded their progress were instantly sted to pieces by Ares¡¯s deflective field. If that failed, they simply skidded past it using Gaia¡¯s power.

    Finally, they had reached the vault by using Gaia¡¯s power to bypass thestyer of impregnable wall. Suddenly, a thought jumped at Lucifer as he screamed, ¡°Why didn¡¯t we just use Gaia¡¯s power right at the start? Why did we even use the main entrance?¡±

    A moment of awkward silence ensued. The corner of Gaia¡¯s lips turned up as he crafted his next Weibo message, ¡°Meowhaha, all these fools are so dependent on my power!¡±

    The brief silence was cut short by Ares¡¯s sudden roar, ¡°Stop this nonsense and continue with our mission!¡±

    With that, an invisible force had started lifting the stacks of cash into the air before arranging them into neat piles in front of them.

    Beams of excitement shot out of the cats¡¯ eyes when they witnessed this scene. With that money, they could do anything and buy everything that they have ever imagined!

    Suddenly, an ear-piercing shriek echoed down the hallway from where they entered.

    Lucifer felt something amiss and muttered, ¡°That scream ... doesn¡¯t it sound exactly like F¨±jin¡¯s scream?¡±

    Ares responded carelessly, ¡°That¡¯s impossible, it must be your stupid hallucination. This vault is perfectly sealed, with no chance of anything entering or escaping it. There is no way that we can possibly hear Rakshasa¡¯s scream from here!¡±

    ¡°Ah! Ah! Ah! Zhao Yao is here!¡±

    ¡°Ares, I don¡¯t think so,¡± Rakshasa could feel his chest tightening with fear as he eximed, ¡°I heard it too! He¡¯s screaming someone¡¯s name!¡±

    Ares¡¯s frown deepened into a scowl as he retorted, ¡°Use your brain! I already told you that this ce is sealed! It¡¯s impossible to hear anything from here!¡±

    Gaia suddenly interjected, ¡°But other thanmunicating using soundwaves, we can alsomunicate telepathically.¡±

    ¡°Ah! I admit it! It¡¯s my fault! Zhao Yao, please forgive me! I only did all these because Ares forced me to! I had no choice!¡±

    This time around, the content of the screams rang crystal-clear in their ears. There was no doubt as to what was happening upstairs.

    The pit of Ares¡¯s stomach fell as he felt a shiver running through his body, ¡°Hey, is it just me or did you guys hear the mention of the name ... Zhao Yao?¡± However, there was no response. Ares immediately swept his head back only to see Gaia, Lucifer, and Rakshasa submerging underground. Everyone had left, except for him.

    ¡°D*mn it! What the hell are you doing? How can you leave without me?¡±

    Before Ares could continue his tirade, a deafening st had already erupted in his ears. The vault¡¯s impregnable door had been smashed to pieces by Sphynx Cat¡¯s paw. Behind Sphynx Cat stood that man Ares would never forget.

    F¨±jin was struggling relentlessly in Zhao Yao¡¯s arm as he stared at the three escaping cats and the remaining cat which was shaking like a leaf.

    In a split second, his deflective field had already swept into the surroundings, putting an end to their pathetic attempt at escape. An awkward smile began to stretch across Gaia¡¯s face as he chatted, ¡°Zhao Yao, what a coincidence? Did youe to rob a bank as well? In that case, we will take our leave first. Feel free to take whatever¡¯s here.¡±

    Zhao Yao was not interested in that bullshit. His face had already contorted into a hideous scowl as he roared, ¡°Robbing a bank? What have I been teaching all of you this entire time?¡¯

    Ares was not about to back down as he screamed, ¡°To do whatever I want! That is my cat way!¡±

    With that deafening scream, an immense force exploded from Ares as an invisible palm went straight for Zhao Yao¡¯s head.

    However, the attack was immediately stopped by a ring of golden beam. Ares¡¯s deflective field was no match for Zhao Yao¡¯s enhanced deflective field. It simply faltered before disintegrating into thin air.

    The golden beam extended towards Lucifer before slithering across his neck, strangling him to death. Ares struggled with all his might and shouted, ¡°Let me go! Zhao Yao! We will never sumb to violence!¡±

    However, Zhao Yao did not speak a single word. His magnificent golden palm emerged from behind him and mmed Lucifer against the ground, turning him into minced meat. Lucifer was shuddering violently as a pool of blood umted beneath him. However, that same sadistic smile appeared on his face.

    ¡°We are sorry!

    ¡°We admit our mistake!¡±

    Gaia and Rakshasa had instantaneously copsed to the ground in kowtow position. With their front paws outstretched in front of them, they hadpletely surrendered to Zhao Yao¡¯s rule.

    Rakshasa¡¯s gaze swept towards Ares as he shouted, ¡°Boss! Just admit defeat already! This is Zhao Yao!¡±

    For the past two years, Ares had never expected this day to befall on them. However, he felt his knee giving way as he muttered, ¡°Let go of me ... I will kneel on my own.¡±

    However, Sphynx Cat bolted forward and stopped Ares from kneeling. Sphynx Cat cocked his head towards Zhao Yao and reasoned, ¡°Zhao Yao, he is the boss of these cats! How do you expect him to face them if you force him to go on his knees?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s enough! All of you, go back!¡± Zhao Yao threw his arm in the air before gesturing the bunch of them to return to the belly. He slowly circled the vault and pondered, ¡°That means I¡¯m only left with the apostles who were thrown into this dream state. However, judging from Ares¡¯s condition, they will grow increasingly delirious if they spent more time here.¡±

    Next, Zhao Yao had already disappeared behind his extradimensional belly gate. With the belly¡¯s property, Zhao Yao had already teleported to the entrance of the building.

    ¡°Let¡¯s begin with this then.¡±

    Staring at this towering building looming over him, Zhao Yao activated his golden deflective field which crashed mercilessly against the building. First, all the ss shattered to pieces. Next, the building started to vibrate. The vibration grew more and more intense. Pirs began to give way before the entire building copsed onto itself, leaving behind its ruins.

    Meanwhile, Nightmare Cat was quickly alerted to the situation over here and had soon noticed Zhao Yao¡¯s involvement.

    ¡°D*mn it, what is this guy doing here again?¡± A line etched between his brows as he calcted, ¡°Why the city center of all ces? Many people will die if I pull out the big guns. That means they¡¯ll get thrown out of the dream state!¡±

    His eyes squinted into a hard line as he uttered coolly, ¡°I only have one option: activate the apostle team and get rid of him.¡±

    On one hand, Zhao Yao had no reasons to conceal his location. On the other, Nightmare Cat had carefully calibrated the NPCs to guide the apostle team towards Zhao Yao. Hence, one apostle had already found himself staring straight at Zhao Yao.

    One punch. That was all it took to turn the monstrous skyscraper into rubble.

    Momentster, shots of golden beams started shooting in all directions, pushing the rubble away. From the ruins, a person appeared. It was none other than Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao nced at his mission panel and noticed the addition of a new mission.

    Mission: Dream World!

    Objective: Rescue everyone from their dream state

    Reward: The experience points rewarded were directly proportional to the number of people rescued. The experience points were also capped at 2000.

    Punishment: Nil

    That same old smile returned to Zhao Yao¡¯s face when he read the description. That was what he had been waiting for.

    Suddenly, he noticed a somewhat familiar hypnotic shing lights zooming towards him. It was the police. The policeman sprang down from their vehicles, with their muzzles pointing straight at Zhao Yao¡¯s head. With fear splintering his heart, the policeman shouted, ¡°Raise your hands! Behind your head! Stop moving!¡±

    Zhao Yao obviously paid no attention to this insignificant NPCs. Immediately, that same beam of blinding light swept across a 300 meters radius, knocking all the policemen within it unconscious.

    He nced to his left and right before he decided on this particr rote. The sphere of golden beam followed him wherever he went. It was like a tsunami engulfing the entire city. Anything that came in contact with it was instantly destroyed. Buildings, towers or even skyscrapers copsed the moment Zhao Yao went pass them.

    This time, not only were the police involved. Even the military was roped in for this operation. However, Zhao Yao waspletely indifferent to their attacks since he was hiding behind the extradimensional belly gate. Conversely, tens of victims would fall whenever the defective field swept past them. However, they weren¡¯t dead. They simply woke up in the real life.

    ¡°That was scary!¡±

    ¡°For a moment, I really thought I was going to die!¡±

    ¡°That nightmare felt so realistic!¡±

    At the same time, Zhao Yao had helped countless victims return to the real world. Again and again, that golden beam would streak across the sky before another building copsed to the ground.

    Zhao Yao simply walked through the streets like Godzi. Nothing stood in his way, be it living or non-living matter. They were annihted the moment they came within striking distance of Zhao Yao.

    However, things were not as peaceful for those who were still stuck in the dream world.

    Ah! Ear-splitting shrieks flooded the city as the victims ran around like headless chicken. Honestly, they had no idea where to go. Neither did they know the source of the destruction. In their head, running was simply a better choice than staying put.

    Meng Hao noticed the frantic crowd but yet remained calm andposed. Instead, a smile crept up his face.

    ¡°Is it the headless warrior? I knew that my arch-nemesis would not have gone down as easily as that.¡±

    Meng Hao was there when the headless horseman was seemingly annihted in the battle. He saw it for himself. However, that was just another one of his trick. The headless horseman had returned and he was wreaking havoc in the middle of the city.

    Meng Hao watched as he saw two skyscrapers colliding into one another before copsing into ruins. He shook his head and muttered, ¡°What a tragedy. You could have achieved greatness with that power, but you chose destruction. Now, I shall deliver you your own destruction and inherit the title of Jiangmen City¡¯s strongest ...¡±

    As he spoke, the muscles and bones in his body began to mutate and transform in an unprecedented manner. He wasn¡¯t just a human-beast hybrid. He even had a pair of bat¡¯s wings, a scorpion¡¯s tail, a mouth full of smilodon¡¯s teeth and evenyers andyers of hardened scales.

    His huge frame was easily five meters tall. It was a monster brought straight out from the depths of hell.

    ¡°Two years of training! Every day, I did 50 push-ups, 100 squats, 100 sit ups, 2km run. And now, I¡¯ve achieved perfection!¡±

    With a p of his wings, Meng Hao had already disappeared into the sky before nosediving straight towards a building.

    This power was what Meng Hao had dreamt of. By training relentlessly over the past two years, he had acquired strength which even surpassed Sphynx Cat. He was even harder than diamond. His flying ability was just another icing on the cake.

    ¡°Found you!¡± A glimmer shed across Meng Hao¡¯s eyes as he located his objective floating in mid-air, hiding behind that extradimensional gate.

    Before he could even make his first move, he heard a thunderous explosioning from afar. It was as if a thousand nuclear explosions had simultaneously detonated together. Meng Hao raised his head and saw Explosive Man bolting towards him, with the roaring me propelling him forward.

    Explosive Man burst into a series ofughter, ¡°Headless horseman! Let me show you the product of my two years of training! Don¡¯t worry, I will not kill you immediately! I need some time to demonstrate the disparity in our strength!¡± Suddenly, a ring of me erupted, encircling Explosive Man¡¯s body.

    ¡°Look at me! Not only can I control explosions, I can even control the mes around me and increase their temperature to a staggering 10,000 ¡ãC. Bybining this energy together ...¡± Explosive Man sped his palms together as a thunderous boom exploded. Amidst all the explosions, a pool of ions had materialized in his hands.

    ¡°Take this ... the ionic explosion of the fiery emperor!¡±

    Meng Hao stared dumbfounded at this scene, ¡°Has this guy gone mad? To use this attack in the heart of the city?¡± Before he even reacted, Explosive Man had suddenly froze in mid-air. His lifeless body began to ascend towards the sky before it exploded into a spectacr disy of fireworks.

    ¡°What happened? What kind of power is this?¡± More questions flooded Meng Hao¡¯s head. Obviously, he had no idea that Zhao Yao had used Elizabeth¡¯s power to gain control over his opponent¡¯s body. However, he knew that the headless horseman was somehow connected to this anomaly.

    Suddenly, Meng Hao noticed another dangerous presence lurking in the air. Immediately, a beam of white light streaked across an entire street. By the time Meng Hao had noticed his presence, it was already toote. The beam of dazzling light had already crashed straight into Zhao Yao.

    However, by the time Meng Hao had fixed his eyes on Zhao Yao, the beam of light had already disappeared. Milk, with the power of extreme speed, had already vaporized into thin air after colliding with Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Another one dead already?¡± For the first time in a long while, Meng Hao felt his chest tightening with fear. Suddenly, he noticed Yue Shan, Li Li and a hugepany of supercats and apostles streaming towards the headless horseman.

    The four elements, earth, water, fire, and air, continued to encircle Yue Shan as he roared, ¡°For the past 700 hundred days, I have poured my heart and soul to train and be stronger. I only have one goal and that is to defeat you. Currently, my psychokinesis power can even be extended to the molecr level, thus granting me control over the four basic elements ...¡±

    Meng Hao could feel the raw power pulsating through Yue Shan¡¯s body. He was barely able to breathe when he saw the conviction in his eyes. Before he could even appreciate Yue Shan¡¯s true strength, Zhao Yao had already activated timefreeze and rewarded Yue Shan with a series of punches. When time resumed, his body simply exploded.

    ...

    Yue Shan instantly woke up as he set on his bed and observed his surroundings. Apparently, he was in a hospital.

    He breathed a long sigh of despair, ¡°D*mn it, I couldn¡¯t even defeat him in a bloody dream! Stupid!¡±

    ¡°Ahh!¡±

    Suddenly, another shriek punctured the air. Yue Shan turned his head around and saw Lin Chen sitting on his bed, ¡°What the hell! For a moment I thought I was really dead!¡±

    After some time, Inspector Ho returned and asked, ¡°Are you guys finally awake?¡±

 Chapter 425: Solution

    <h4>Chapter 425: Solution</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    ¡°D*mn it,¡± Thest time Meng Hao actually witnessed such devastating destruction was in the movie, Godzi. Nothing could possibly stop him.

    Some apostle had powers which were ripped straight from Ironman as hisser beams instantly vaporized an entire street. However, Zhao Yao still killed him by simply twisting his neck.

    Some had the power to radiate immense heat from their bodies. It was a temperature that rivaled the Earth¡¯s core. They could simply melt an entire building by standing in it. However, they were destroyed to pieces before they coulde close to Zhao Yao.

    Some even had the power to dissect matters at a molecr level, and yet they can¡¯t stop the headless horseman. In an instant, all of them had fallen to him.

    No one could stop him at all. Regardless of what kind of power you threw at him, it was simply futile. Instead, you would earn his ire and spelled your own death.

    Meng Hao stared at this ridiculous scene and muttered, ¡°This is unfair! How can all of us gang up against one person? Never mind, I¡¯ll just wait for headless horseman to liberate all of them before fighting him 1 on 1.¡±

    The deluge of attack which rained down on Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t even leave a scratch on him. All they aplished was to destroy the city¡¯s infrastructure.

    Naturally, the main culprits behind this destruction were the apostles who were bent on taking Zhao Yao¡¯s live. After all, they did enjoy an immense power in this dream world. However, they just couldn¡¯t seem to break into the extradimensional belly gate.

    Suddenly, a shadow leaped gracefully across the sky before stopping right in front of Zhao Yao.

    Judging from her face alone, she was the most beautiful woman that you could possibly imagine. However, if you look slightly lower, you would be taken aback by that chiseled body. It was even more muscr than Butcher¡¯s. However, Zhao Yao did find her somewhat familiar but he just couldn¡¯t put his finger to it.

    ¡°Ah, headless horseman, I have never expected to meet you here again!¡± That woman began to caress the bulging muscles on her body as she sighed, ¡°Look at this perfect culmination of beauty and strength! It is the perfect embodiment of the human body!¡±

    ¡°Who are you?¡± Zhao Yao interrupted impolitely.

    ¡°Haha, have you forgotten about me already? Indeed, my appearance has changed rather significantly from two years ago. Have you forgotten about our encounter in the gym? Or the time when we met at the cat ind?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes squinted into a hard line as he scrutinized the person before him. Suddenly, all his hair began to stand on ends, ¡°Butcher? You turned into a woman?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t call me butcher! I am butcheress. Also, I haven¡¯t turned into a woman. I¡¯m currently ...¡±

    Zhao Yao could feel the disgust slithering through his body when he heard those words. Before butcheress could even finish her statement, Zhao Yao had already killed her.

    ¡°One followed by another! I didn¡¯t know that all of them had such weird fantasies!¡±

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao felt a searing pain pulsating through his body. This pain was unmistakable. He swept his head around and saw ck Panther thrusting his dagger straight through his belly. ck Panther asked, ¡°Master Headless, I¡¯ve never expected you to return to this world. But why did you have to kill all these people? All of them were my friends!¡±

    In the dream world, ck Panther had mastered the ability to teleport to anyone¡¯s position, in any part of the world. Even Zhao Yao¡¯s extradimensional belly gate was useless against him.

    However, Zhao Yao had immediately activated timefreeze. Brandishing one katana in each hand, Zhao Yao thrust them straight through his belly. When time resumed, an ear-splitting scream echoed throughout the street as ck Panther copsed to the ground. Zhao Yaomented, ¡°Now, you¡¯ll finally understand my pain!¡±

    With ck Panther settled, Zhao Yao had changed to his power of super-regeneration. A sinister smile crept up his face as the pain of the stab swept through him.

    ¡°Pleasure!¡±

    ...

    ck Panther was jolted from his sleep as his hand reached forward for his belly. Luckily, nothing had actually happened. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief, ¡°Thank goodness! It was just a dream!¡±

    Xiao Ming sat on his chair with his face plunged in despair. He noticed ck Panther¡¯s sudden movement and shouted, ¡°ck Panther, you also had a nightmare?¡±

    With both his arms resting against his hip, ck Panther exined, ¡°Yes, I even got stabbed twice in my hip. I guess I should be more careful with my abilities. It really hurts like hell to get stabbed in this spot.¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao¡¯s relentless attack had sent more and more people to their graves. To put it more urately, he simply sent them back to the real world. Nightmare Cat observed as his beautiful n got foiled before his eyes. He gritted his teeth and sent wave after wave of apostles against Zhao Yao, but it was useless.

    Momentster, the corner of Nightmare Cat¡¯s mouth quirked up as he eximed, ¡°Finally, I have seen through him! He might have an impregnable defense but his attack range and efficiently is so limited! This will be his downfall!¡±

    With this idea firmly nted in his head, Nightmare Cat had ordered his NPCs to back down from Zhao Yao. By withholding information of Zhao Yao¡¯s location from the apostles, the number of attacks had dwindled considerably.

    This had greatly diminished Zhao Yao¡¯s efficiency. Currently, Nightmare Cat¡¯s dream world was extended to the entire Jiangmen City. It included tens of thousands of apostles and supercats, coupled with millions of NPC roaming around the ce.

    This vastndscape proved to be rather troublesome for Zhao Yao. Even with his offensive powers stretched to the maximum, it would take far too much time before Zhao Yao could obliterate every single remaining apostle and sent them to the real world.

    ¡°The range of this dream state is farrger than I¡¯ve imagined.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s extradimensional belly gate began to flicker skywards. This position granted Zhao Yao a bird¡¯s eye view of the entire city. Even at this height, Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t see the end of this dream world, ¡°Did he really replicate the entire city in this dream world?¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t possibly sweep through the entire city and kill every single person that I see. Even my power does not allow me to do so.¡±

    ¡°Furthermore, if this dream state continues to expand by recruiting more people from the real world ... that means I¡¯ll simply have to kill more and more people.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s hypothesis was absolutely correct. Since Nightmare Cat¡¯s initial introduction of apostles and supercats into the dream world, he had continued his effort to invite more people in. This was essential in maintaining the existence of the dream world.

    ¡°What am I supposed to do?¡± Zhao Yao thought long and hard about it but just couldn¡¯te up with a logical n to save everyone. At this moment, his eyes nced towards the cat glowing in the sky.

    ¡°Maybe ... Fish Ball can do it?¡±

    A glimmer shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes as he created the first extradimensional belly gate at his current spot. With the two remaining gates, he used it to traverse across the vast sky as he bolted towards Fish Ball¡¯s position.

    These extradimensional belly gates were resting on this 3d space-time dimension. This meant that it could float at any height, any position, anywhere. This key characteristic lent Zhao Yao the ability to seemingly teleport from one position to another and floated in mid-air.

    In the dream world, Fish Ball¡¯s height was not that high. After flickering for approximately 10,000 times, Zhao Yao already had a clear view of this unique sun.

    Currently, Fish Ball remained in his disco ball form as a rainbow of colors shot out from his body. Jiangmen City had turned into a giant dance floor.

    Zhao Yao eximed, ¡°Fish Ball, can you hear what I¡¯m saying?¡±

    Suddenly, Fish Ball¡¯s eyes started to flicker as if he had noticed Zhao Yao¡¯s appearance.

    However, that same dumb expression returned to his face immediately, pretending as if he had heard nothing.

    Just when Zhao Yao thought that Fish Ball had lost his five senses because of his transformation into a sun, Zhao Yao saw the fear crossing his face. At the same time, the rainbow colors had disappeared. In its ce were the police red and blue emergency lights, casting the entire Jiangmen City into an emergency state.

    ¡°A reaction! Maybe his reaction is just slower than usual.¡± A smile stretched across Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he asked, ¡°In that case, could you kindly explode from your position?¡±

    The lights illuminating from Fish Ball¡¯s body turned again. This time, it had turned to the blue emergency lights of an ambnce.

 Chapter 426: The Escape

    <h4>Chapter 426: The Escape</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes narrowed into hard lines as he observed the vivid lights shot out of Fish Ball¡¯s body. Instantly, he had turned to Elizabeth¡¯s power of control.

    He felt as if he had plunged into a pool of quicksand the moment he activated the power. Every action and movement consumed so much energy. It felt like it would take eons before he could evenplete a simple action.

    Zhao Yao immediately withdrew control over Fish Ball. With his face scrunched into a scowl, hemented, ¡°Is it because he had turned into a sun? Even though I had already witnessed all sorts of weird things in this world, all of them still somehow abided to some basic rules. That is, that they must still conform to our innate impression of these objects.

    Now that Fish Ball had turned into a gargantuan sun, his action and cognitive processing skills had consequently slowed down considerably. That¡¯s because that is the way a sun would behave in Fish Ball¡¯s eyes. Even if I managed to control it, the effects would be far too slow.¡±

    However, a sudden thought dawned on Zhao Yao, ¡°Wait, there¡¯s something wrong. Just now, the color change was so sudden and so rapid. Why? What¡¯s happening?¡± Memories of Zhao Yao¡¯s exchange with the gigantic Fish Ball started flooding his mind, ¡°The change in emotions leading to a change in color projected? And the changes are instantaneous?¡±

    This hypothesis seemed extremely probable. Hence, Zhao Yao decided to give it a go, ¡°But what should I do to effect a change in Fish Ball¡¯s emotions?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought about is as a hugeyer of deflective field wrapped around his body. Without a warning, the deflective field had bolted towards Fish Ball, mming against him. However, Fish Ball was still the sun of this world and seemed totally unaffected by this attack. It was futile as the blue emergency lights continued to flicker from afar.

    ¡°A normal physical attack is totally useless against this fe.¡±

    Zhao Yao began to stroke his chin as he pondered, ¡°If a physical attack is rendered useless, I shall resort to an emotional attack then. Hmph, what is this cat most afraid of?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes started gleaming with excitement the moment he thought about this question. With Elizabeth¡¯s power of illusion, Zhao Yao had already appeared in front of Fish Ball¡¯s eyes in the form of Xiao Yu.

    ¡®Xiao Yu¡¯ was floating in mid-air with her finger pointing straight at Fish Ball as she screamed angrily, ¡°Fish Ball, what are you doing?¡±

    Zhao Yao literally saw the sun tremble with fear the moment Xiao Yu appeared. As the words echoed in Fish Ball¡¯s head, his color had instantly changed from the original blue to his current ck and white. Obviously, the ck color was created by emitting no light at all.

    From afar, Fish Ball looked exactly like those photographs you would see in the obituary.

    However, Zhao Yao did not stop there. With a curl of his lips, Zhao Yao tried his best Xiao Yu impersonation as he screamed, ¡°What are you doing up there? Get the hell down here! Right now!¡±

    The trembling seemed to have intensified as scurries of wind blew across Jiangmen City. Consequently, the light radiated from his body also began to dim. Somehow, even the size of the sun started to reduce.

    ¡°Wow, that¡¯s impressive. Just a few words from Xiao Yu is enough to make him shrink.¡± However, that grimace did not disappear from Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he reflected, ¡°If I continue this scolding, will Fish Ball eventually revert to his original size? But a world without a sun is simply too scary! But is it enough to scare everyone off the dream world and return to the real world?¡±

    Zhao Yao had never nned to save everyone using this approach. Hence, he instantly adopted for a new n, ¡°If continuous scolding can shrink him, which means the opposite would ...¡±

    Hence, a gentle smile began to spread across ¡®Xiao Yu¡¯s¡¯ face. Her earnest eyes looked towards Fish Ball as she apologized, ¡°Fish Ball, I¡¯m so sorry. This is all my fault! I shouldn¡¯t even have scolded you.¡±

    These words were like steroids injected straight into Fish Ball¡¯s body. Bit by bit, he began to erge. He even seemed to have regained his original brightness.

    A sly grin appeared on Zhao Yao¡¯s face as he muttered, ¡°It works!¡±

    Continuing his pretense, Zhao Yao put on the most dramatic expression he was capable of and shouted, ¡°Fish Ball! You are so big and so bright! You look so handsome! Is it possible to turn evenrger than this?¡±

    Somehow, the rate of expansion managed to skyrocket further as the beams of light turned even more dazzling. The color had turned from the original lifeless white to a gleaming golden! Those golden rays reflected off his body made him the most impressive sun ever.

    ¡°You are so big! Fish Ball, you are wonderful! I love you!¡±

    Expand! Expand! Expand! The solemn expression on Fish Ball¡¯s face had long disappeared. Now, it was filled with happiness and pride.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s mouth had already turned into a wide grin as he stared at this rapidly-erging sun, ¡°Good, continue expanding!¡±

    Meanwhile, Nightmare Cat had always been on the sidelines watching the event unfold. Initially, he thought nothing of Zhao Yao¡¯s actions. However, an rm started ringing in his head when this gigantic sun¡¯s expansion showed no signs of slowing.

    ¡°This stupid cat! You are the most stupid cat in the world! How could such a dumb cat actually exist in this world? Who would expand from just a few words of praise? D*mn it! I really shouldn¡¯t have allowed this cat inside my dream world.¡±

    However, even Nightmare Cat didn¡¯t have the power to just kill Fish Ball and expel him from this world. The strength of his power was dependent on the number of dreamers living inside the dream world. However, the precision of his control over the world would wane as the number of dreamers increased. Today¡¯s incident was the perfect example to illustrate this point. With tens of thousands of dreamers, his influence over the world was purely restricted to the NPCs.

    While Nightmare Cat was still busy contemting his strategy, Fish Ball had already expanded to a size which was simply frightening.

    ¡°Fish Ball, you are absolutely marvelous!¡±

    ¡°So cool! So smart! You can do it! 666 1 !¡±

    ¡°Fish Ball, you can turn even bigger than this!¡±

    However, Zhao Yao was not satisfied as the scowl returned to his face. Even though Fish Ball had already turned to this gleaming golden sun which was at least 10 timesrger than before, this speed was still too slow in Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes.

    With that, Zhao Yao could only resort to his secret weapon as he screamed, ¡°Fish Ball! You are so powerful! From now on, you shouldn¡¯t be my pet! Instead, I should be your pet!¡±

    Instantaneously, the dazzling lights emitted became blinding to the eye. The rapid expansion was a few times faster than before. Fish Ball was brimming with confidence and happiness. Now, he wasn¡¯t even looking at ¡®Xiao Yu¡¯. Instead, he was looking straight towards the sky.

    ¡°Ah! Master Fish Ball, you have turned so big!¡±

    ¡°Ah, I cannot take it. How is possible for anything to be so big? So bright!¡±

    ¡°Master Fish Ball, allow me to be your humble servant for the rest of my life. I will clean your shit forever.

    The rapidly expanding sun had attracted the attention of all the dreamers in the world. Their eyes were filled with fear as the sun continued to expand and expand. Soon, the effects started spreading to the very infrastructure in the city. Buildings were set aze. Streets started copsing onto themselves. Finally, thest straw was Fish Ball¡¯s collision against the very surface of the Earth, destroying the city and dream world immediately.

    ...

    Suddenly, Fish Ball felt a nket of darkness enveloping his eyes as he woke up.

    He turned his head around and saw Xiao Yu sitting there with that same confused look on her face. He screamed, ¡°Xiao Yu, what are you waiting for? Help me to my bed now!¡±

    Obviously, Fish Ball was still clueless as to what actually happened. He just saw Xiao Yu staring nkly at him when he typed out a string of words on his phone, ¡°I almost forgot that you did not understand mynguage.¡±

    When the voice assistant¡¯s voice echoed in Xiao Yu¡¯s ears, she immediately swept her head around with fury pouring out of her eyes.

 Chapter 427: Snap Back to Reality

    The first thing Xiao Yu did the moment she woke up was to inspect her body. Her eyes peered through the gap in her shirt only to see her pre-pubescent chest. Immediately, her eyes were filled with anger and abject disappointment.

    At this very unfortunate moment, Fish Ball¡¯s meow shattered the silence in the room. This was followed by a voice which echoed in her ears, ¡°Xiao Yu, what are you waiting for? Help me to my bed now! Oh, don¡¯t forget to help me warm my bed.¡±

    Initially, Xiao Yu was still drowning in disappointment from the shocking realization that it was just a dream. Fish Ball¡¯s words instantly incinerated her disappointment into anger.

    Piack! Piack! Piack! Piakc!

    With Roly Poly struggling in her left arm, Xiao Yu treated him to an avnche of ps before tossing him into a corner of the room.

    Fish Ball struggled to get onto his feet as he stood there motionlessly. Xiao Yu slid him a condescending re before sneering, ¡°Trying to rebel against me? Without my instruction, you are not allowed to sit forever!¡±

    Those words immediately plunged Fish Ball into despair. A thought popped into his head, ¡°Moments ago, you were still referring to me as Master Fish Ball. Now, you¡¯re beating me up for no reason? Elementary school students are seriously so capricious!¡±

    Meanwhile, Noodle was resting in his usual spot as he watched theedy unfold in front of him. He tried so hard to suppress hisughter as he thought, ¡°R*tard, do you think that you actually stood a chance against me and Ho Hao Cang? Wait a minute, who is Ho Hao Cang? How do I even know this random guy¡¯s name?¡±

    In a secluded corner of Jiangmen City, Nightmare Cat was crawling out of a huge pile of trash. He could barely catch his breath as he panted, ¡°B*stard. This is bad, so bad. I thought I could earn so much money by inviting all these dreamers into my world. In the end, the whole world was destroyed in a matter of minutes!¡±

    Images of the headless horseman and Fish Ball foiling his perfect n flooded his head. Rage swept over him as he promised himself, ¡°Hmph, I¡¯ve remembered all your faces! Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll pay back whatever you did to me by 10 folds! Also, that pesky guy ...¡± An image of the adorable Mango appeared in his head, ¡°I¡¯m not going to forgive that fool as well! I will return!¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyelids began to tremble as he opened his eyes to the beautiful sight of the real world. At the same time, a series of meows and screams had flooded the apartment.

    Following Zhao Yao, the rest of the cats had also woken up. However, their response waspletely different from Zhao Yao¡¯s. Matcha immediately ran towards a wall before mming his fist relentlessly against it as tears streamed down his cheeks.

    ¡°My castle! My harem! Gone! All of them are gone!¡±

    Old Cat immediately sprinted towards Matcha and informed him, ¡°Sir George! Sir George! Just take a look at that Roly Poly! Something¡¯s wrong with him!¡±

    Matcha instantly swept his head in Roly Poly¡¯s direction.

    What he saw shocked him. Roly Poly simply sat on the ground in a quarter lotus position. The snow-white fur on his body drifted along the slight breeze as his body emanated an other-worldly peace and tranquility.

    However, that thing which annoyed Matcha the most was the mutiny in the dream world. Even in the real world, the gang of Uncle Egg, Airne andpany had gathered behind Roly Poly.

    Old Cat¡¯s voice trembled as he spoke, ¡°This serendipitous dream had somehow provided the perfect opportunity for them toe together as one. I fear that their strength in numbers might threaten your im to the throne.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, they are just a bunch of losers. A group of good-for-nothings that I can¡¯t be bothered with,¡± Matcha sneered.

    Suddenly, Lion Head had appeared in the middle of the living room as her eyes darted from Matcha to Roly Poly. Her expression struck the perfect bnce between shame and hesitation. The words struggled toe out from her mouth, ¡°Why? Why did God make me fall in love with both Roly Poly and Matcha when he knows I can¡¯t be with both?¡±

    Both Roly Poly and Matcha¡¯s face contorted beyond any recognizable means when they heard those disgusting words. Meanwhile, Lion Head had already lowered her head in shame before disappearing off to a corner, ¡°Ah, don¡¯t force me to make this decision! I have no idea who I should choose or who I love more!¡± With that, her thunderous footsteps had erupted towards the corner.

    Uncle Egg then whispered into Roly Poly¡¯s ears, ¡°Roly Poly, I think Matcha is rather hostile towards you.¡±

    Roly Poly looked as if he had already reached the stage of Nirvana as he replied calmly, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I have long retired from all these. I do not want to torment myself with battles of the past. Times have changed. All I want is some serenity as I spend the rest of my life as a domestic cat.¡±

    Uncle Egg responded, ¡°But I fear that the serenity which you crave for is unattainable. Matcha, that cunning cat, had turned into Zhao Yao¡¯s perfectpdog. Every day, he is spying on our each and every action, reporting all of them to Zhao Yao. We,ing together as one, are definitely his number one sore eye.¡±

    Roly Polymented, ¡°What is the entire purpose of this ruthless game of thrones? In the end, it is all but a dream.¡±

    All the cats could not believe the wisdoming out of Roly Poly¡¯s words.

    Initially, they were subordinates to Lion Head. However, her affection towards Roly Poly caused them to extend their allegiance towards him. Finally, they werepletely captivated by his wisdom and sagacity.

    This was especially true since the night when Roly Poly¡¯s fur turned snow-white. He seemed to have seen past everything. No one could even fathom what he was thinking at this point.

    However, all the cats had somehow missed the glimmer in Roly Poly¡¯s eyes. In his head, he was screaming, ¡°Power? Title? Wealth? I want all of that! I want them so much that I would die for it! However, Zhao Yao¡¯s punishment for me has yet to end. Hence, I need to stay low for the time being. As for that fool, Matcha, I will tolerate his stupid shenanigans for now. One day, he will definitely earn the wrath of Zhao Yao. That day would also be the day I return to power! Meowhahaha!¡±

    Suddenly, the familiar footsteps echoed from the hallway. Roly Poly¡¯s body disappeared in an instant before appearing with a cloth in his mouth. Diligently, he started to get rid of the stains on the floor.

    Conversely, Matcha had pounced onto Zhao Yao¡¯s calf before rubbing his head affectionately against it.

    Zhao Yao nced at this obedient fur ball before patting him on his head, ¡°Matcha, you¡¯re so well-behaved.¡±

    Matcha responded by stretching his front paws in the air, demanding a hug from Zhao Yao.

    A glimmer shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes as he cradled Matcha in his arms. With his fingers running through Matcha¡¯s silky fur, Zhao Yao nced at the remaining cats before announcing, ¡°I bet all of you had more than enough sleep already! Since it¡¯s still Chinese New Year Eve, we¡¯ll continue with our feast! Baiquan, are there any more meat left in the fridge? Bring out all the mutton and beef. Oh yes, I want some dumplings as well! More chives please!¡±

    A chorus of cheers erupted amongst the cats when they heard this splendid news.

    Even though Zhao Yao had wasted quite some time in the dream world, the missions were finallypleted. He nced at his mission panel and was delighted by the plete¡¯ statuses printed on it. Despite not having found Dust Ball and Rice Cake, he still managed to bag 10,000 experience points.

    Furthermore, for rescuing all the apostles and destroying the dream world, Zhao Yao was awarded another 2000*2 experience points.

    Zhao Yao stared at his BOOK and saw the beautiful numbers printed on it, book: lv6(17602/20000).

    He could hardly contain the happiness racing through him as he pondered, ¡°I should make use of the next few days to properly n what to do with all these experience points.¡±

    Matcha was still relishing the moment with that smug look of his, ¡°Hmph, look at all you peasants! None of you would ever get to enjoy this royal treatment ...¡±

    Before he even finished gloating over the others, Zhao Yao had already ced him on the ground before he moved on to Elizabeth. From the looks of it, he was going to hug Elizabeth for the entire duration of the hotpot. This was enough to cause Matcha to shake with fury. Hence, he sprang onto the seat next to Zhao Yao before fixing his death re at Elizabeth.

    Elizabeth simply set in Zhao Yao¡¯s arms, with her belly exposed for all to see. Sadness crushed her. In her dream, she had more money, apartments, luxury bags than she could ever ask for. Now, she was just a regr chubby cat serving as a waitress in a caf¨¦, a victim of multiple molestation cases.

    ¡°Hmph, if only I could return to the dream.¡±

    ...

    The current dream world was enveloped in total darkness. Spirit cat¡¯s forehead was drenched in cold sweat as he flew from one corner to another. Finally, he had no choice but to scream, ¡°Is ... anyone here?¡±

    ...

    ¡°The hotpot is ready!¡±

    A storm of paws reached towards the boiling soup before Matcha stopped all of them with his chopsticks.

    ¡°Preposterous! How dare you eat before our dear leader? Take your dirty paws away!¡± Matcha then forced his most amiable smile and announced, ¡°Leader, please!¡±

    Somehow, a distracting thought was tugging at Zhao Yao, ¡°Did I forget about something?¡±

    Suddenly, he cocked his head towards Dust Ball who remained fast asleep, ¡°D*mn it! Dust Ball is still sleeping?¡±

    <h4>Chapter 428: Reunion Dinner</h4>

    Zhao Yao immediately brought Diana over to Dust Ball. He watched as that plump Ragdoll pressed her even fatter paw against Dust Ball¡¯s head. Instantly, her eyes were snapped shut.

    Momentster, Diana¡¯s eyelids began to quiver as her expression contorted into a scowl, ¡°She is still stuck in her dream, in a ce filled with catmint.¡±

    By stoking his ego relentlessly, Zhao Yao had sessfully caused the sun, Fish Ball, to collide directly against Jiangmen City. The impact of the collision was enough to bring the entire dream universe to the brink of destruction. Hence, even Nightmare Cast was thrown out of it.

    However, Dust Ball was hiding inside the extradimensional belly when that happened. Meanwhile, Nekomata remained in his formless state. Hence, both were impervious to the massive destruction due to their unique circumstances. Instead, they continued to linger in the dream world even after Nightmare Cat¡¯s departure.

    Zhao Yao already had a clue as to what had happened after hearing Diana¡¯s exnation. Matcha, who was eavesdropping by the side, also had a general idea. Suddenly, he leaped towards Dust Ball beforending a flurry of ps against her face, ¡°Wake up! I want you to wake up now! Do you know how many cats are waiting for you?¡±

    Dust Ball¡¯s eyelids trembled as she struggled to open them against the blinding light. Disappointment sagged through her as she opened her eyes, ¡°What? So it was all just a dream?¡± Her bloodshot eyes werepletely sunken within the sockets. Her body felt leaden with the abject disappointment weighing down on her. She looked just like a drug addict on cold turkey.

    Matcha gave her no time to wallow in self-pity as he roared, ¡°Everyone¡¯s waiting for you before we can start our reunion dinner! Why are you still sleeping? Wake the hell up now!¡±

    Dust Ball¡¯s lifeless body struggled to get on her feet as sheined, ¡°Eat again? I¡¯m still so full.¡±

    Zhao Yao dangled the ultimate bait in her face by saying, ¡°I¡¯ve specially instructed Baiquan to prepare a special catmint sauce. You can try and see if it¡¯s nice.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Those words were like caffeine injected straight into her bloodstream as she jumped with excitement. However, her paws started to run along the grooves on her cheeks as she muttered, ¡°Why do my cheeks feel somewhat swollen?¡±

    Matcha immediately rified, ¡°You identally smashed your face against the floor during your sleep. I immediately helped you up the moment you fell.¡±

    Zhao Yao was overwhelmed with happiness when he saw all his cats sitting diligently in their respective seats, ¡°Alright, you may begin. However, remember to use the chopsticks instead of your paws. If you don¡¯t know how to use it, simply ask someone for help.¡±

    A deluge of beef, mutton, chicken, fish balls, and meatballs slid down into the pot of bubbling soup. It was impossible to resist that tantalizing aroma as they stared wide-eyed at that mouth-watering meat. However, their soup was not the usual soup we were used to. Instead, it was made purely using chicken stock, with zero seasoning.

    Dust Ball waspletely indifferent to the bubbling soup. Instead, she waspletely captivated by the sauce before her as she dabbed a pawful of catmint sauce on her tongue. It tasted heavenly!

    By the time the meat was almost ready, Dust Ball had already copsed on the table with a trickle of saliva running down her lips, ¡°I can still eat... give me another bowl ...I¡¯m still awake!¡±

    Meanwhile, a storm of chopsticks had shed in the epicenter of the bowl. Some cats held their chopsticks by their paws while others simply resorted to their mouths. To them, grabbing a piece of meat using chopsticks was a herculean task but the sulent meat definitely made it all worthwhile.

    Even though they had just enjoyed a sumptuous meal hours ago, the mental and physical turmoil inflicted on them had depleted them of all their energy. Hence, they were more than ready to eat again.

    With the deflective field¡¯s pinpoint precision, piece after piece of sulent beef simply flew towards Ares before sliding down his throat. Rakshasa, F¨±jin and the rest immediately turned green with envy at the sight of it.

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao¡¯s voice reverberated throughout the table, ¡°Ares, since you are so proficient with your power, I will entrust you with the responsibility of feeding all the cats.¡±

    Before Ares could even refute, Zhao Yao had already pinned him down with his signature death re. That look was enough to send shivers running down his spine as he nodded his head in agreement.

    Hence, the food began to fly in all directions, to the cats¡¯ delight.

    At the same time, Elizabeth was still reminiscing about her beautiful memories in the dream world. A trickle of tear would roll down her cheeks as she opened her mouth for more iing food.

    Meanwhile, Dust Ball was already snoring on the table.

    With his eyes glued to his phone, Gaia would raise his head periodically for the iing food from Ares.

    Sphynx Cat¡¯s affectionate gaze was permanently fixed on Ares. From time to time, he would even offer a napkin and some timely reminders, ¡°Ares, slow down. Just look at you, you have sauce sttered all over your lips.¡±

    Matcha was also staring at someone. However, his eyes were filled with animosity. He would fix his death re on Elizabeth for one minute before switching to Roly Poly, which was hiding in a corner.

    However, Roly Poly simply responded to Matcha¡¯s animosity with a gentle grin. When Uncle Egg offered him a piece of eat, he would simply raise his hand and refused, ¡°Thanks, but no thanks. I prefer a vegan diet.¡±

    The piece of juicy beef was centimeters away from Diana¡¯s lips when her mother intercepted it with her chopsticks. She evenmented, ¡°Diana, just look at you. How do you expect to get married with that body of yours?¡±

    However, Diana was not about to go down without a fight. With rage pouring through her body, she retorted, ¡°A ragdoll is only cute when she is fat. Just look at Elizabeth! Everyone is so crazy over her because of her size!¡±

    Somehow, Elizabeth had managed to eavesdrop on their conversation as she stared at her own body in disbelief. This chubby frame was obviously due to her over-puffy fur! She obviously wasn¡¯t fat. Hence, the red glimmer shed across her eyes as the two ragdolls smashed their heads against each other.

    Meanwhile, Caesar was walking towards Ares with three wine sses in his hand. Each ss was filled to the brim with yogurt. His eyes scanned across both Ares and Sphynx Cat before he announced in his most authoritative voice, ¡°From now on, I will be depending on the both of you in cat nation. Ares, do not worry. I will never ever divulge your secret to others.¡±

    Ares recalled the previous lie about his sexual orientation and could only y along with him, ¡°Very much appreciated.¡±

    This was still a rather rare sight. After all, opportunities like this only came once in a while. For once, they could finally air out all their grievances, without worrying about the consequences. For once, they could just forget about everything and just rx.

    On this special asion, Zhao Yao decided to ignore theplete chaos and racket created. Instead, he raised his cup in the air and announced, ¡°I would like to wish everyone a happy new year! Cheers!¡±

    Baiquan did not even bother to raise his head as he threw his arm in the air. Currently, his attention was all focused on the tes of meat in front of him. After all, how could he possibly build muscles without some protein?¡¯

    All the cats followed suit as they struggled to raise the cups in the air as they screamed in unison, ¡°Cheers!¡±

    Immediately, they began to gulp down the entire cup of delicious yogurt.

    Amidst the chatters andughter, a sudden knock caught everyone¡¯s attention. Zhao Yao instantly rushed over and saw Yellow Mud squatting by the side of the door. He floundered with embarrassment as he presented a few rotten fruits to Zhao Yao.

    Obviously, these were fruits found in the dumpster. However, Yellow Mud did make an effort to make them look slightly more presentable.

    Since his first encounter with Zhao Yao, Yellow Mud had frequently visited their apartment for free meals. However, this was the first time he actually came with a gift.

    Seeing the embarrassed Yellow Mud in front of him, Zhao Yao asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    A flush crept up his face as he replied, ¡°The aromaing from your house was simply too irresistible. Can I join you guys for your reunion dinner?¡±

    ¡°Sure.¡± Zhao Yao embraced him in open arms, ¡°You can just leave your fruits on the table. Remember to shut the door. Speaking of which, the weather has gone rather chilly the past few days. If you want, you can crash at my apartment for now.¡±

    A wide grin stretched across Yellow Mud¡¯s face as he dashed into the apartment. He couldn¡¯t believe his eyes when he saw the pot of sumptuous food lying in front of him.

    When everyone¡¯s head was still buried in their respective bowls, Lucifer suddenly pointed his finger towards a window and announced, ¡°Look! Fireworks!¡±

    Beneath the spectacr fireworks were a group of children ying happily with firecrackers.

 Chapter 429: Home Sweet Home

    <h4>Chapter 429: Home Sweet Home</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    ¡°Wow!¡± Lucifer eximed as he stared at that spectacr fireworks disy from the windowsill. He couldn¡¯t help but reach his paws towards it, hoping that he could somehow reach it.

    Matcha, Old Cat, Lucifer, Ares and the rest immediately followed suit and sprang onto the windowsill. Their eyes were gleaming like diamonds as they stood there,pletely enchanted by this phenomenal spectacle.

    After all, this was the first time these supercats had celebrated Chinese New Year since receiving their human-like intelligence. Hence, this also marked their first encounter with this amazing performance.

    Obviously, not all cats were as fond of the celebration. Some of them disliked or even abhorred the sound of the fireworks sting in their ears. Ultimately, they were still cats. It was only natural for them to fear such deafening sts.

    Currently, Roly Poly, Uncle Egg, and Caesar were hiding beneath the sofa, trembling in fear. Every st which exploded in their ears would cause their heart to skip a beat.

    Uncle Egg was shaking from head to toe when he suddenly noticed a familiar figure next to him. He was confounded by that individual¡¯s appearance, ¡°Roly Poly, why are you hiding here? Don¡¯t tell me ...¡±

    ¡°Oh, I just wanted to have some exercise after that satisfying meal,¡± Roly Poly lied without even batting an eyelid. Suddenly, another deafening roar echoed in the apartment which caused Roly Poly¡¯s fats to jiggle along to it.

    Meanwhile, Caesar dared not to even open his eyes as he threw his paws over his ears. With his teeth chattering, he asked, ¡°Is there a war being waged in Jiangmen City? Are the Americans trying to fight us? What do we do?¡±

    ¡°How can that possibly be a war. It is simply a firework.¡± Roly Poly exined as his eyes swept across the content on Wikipedia, ¡°Fireworks is amon thing humans detonate during festive asions such as Chinese New Year.¡±

    ¡°A thing you detonate during festive asions?¡± Roly Poly¡¯s words only managed to worsen Caesar¡¯s trembles, ¡°I knew it. Every single human out there is just like Zhao Yao! They are all devils!¡±

    Hence, Chinese New Year Eve was over in a blur amidst the binge-eating, the gossiping, and the fireworks disy. Soon, all the cats had somehow retreated to their usual spots for a wonderful sleep.

    Ares¡¯s body was stretched across the couch with Sphynx Cat¡¯s head buried in his belly.

    Elizabeth and her family were all huddled together in their cat bed, sleeping soundly to the tune of the snores.

    Matcha¡¯s entire body had curled up into a tiny ball, squeezed right next to Zhao Yao¡¯s feet. You could even hear his adorable snore if you came close enough.

    As for Zhao Yao, he had instantly copsed onto his bed the moment he entered the bedroom. After all, he had just saved every supercat and apostle from Nightmare Cat¡¯s insidious power.

    ...

    Since it was Chinese New Year, the caf¨¦ was closed for the subsequent days. Zhao Yao also couldn¡¯t be bothered to pay a visit to all those nosy rtives and thus decided a hedonistic and carefree lifestyle with his cats.

    As for the experience points earned from this most recent adventure, Zhao Yao decided to save it first. By umting up to 20,000 experience points, it would allow him to upgrade his BOOK to lvl 7 any time.

    This simply represented another trump card in his hand. By upgrading his BOOK to lvl 7, he would integrate Sphynx Cat¡¯s strength, agility, speed into his own body.

    Obviously, Zhao Yao would prefer to save it unless he was forced to show his hand. After all, Sphynx Cat would only continue to grow stronger, thus the effects of the integration would only grow more significant.

    ¡°Hmph, I¡¯ll just have to umte up to 20,000 experience points. From then, I will only pump the surplus into the cats. This would allow me to upgrade the book whenever necessary.¡±

    A few dayster, Zhao Yao was awoken amidst a series of meows and screams.

    ¡°D*mn it, why is it so noisy?¡±

    He threw his hand over his head, straight towards the furry noise machine. With one throw, he had tossed him straight out of the bedroom.

    Lightning¡¯s body tumbled across the length of the hallway beforeing to a screeching halt. With tears streaming down his cheeks, he bolted back into the bedroom and sprang right onto Zhao Yao¡¯sp, ¡°No! Zhao Yao! I¡¯m finished! I¡¯m dead! I¡¯m gone!¡±

    Zhao Yao could not be bothered with his relentless screams and responded by kicking both Matcha and Lightning out of the bed, leaving Matchapletely confused.

    Once again, Lightning sprang onto the bed before resuming his wailing.

    Acting as the perfectpdog, Matcha dashed towards Lightning and sent one tight p across his face, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Do you understand the ramification of your actions for disrupting our dear leader¡¯s much-needed rest?¡± Cold-bloodedly, Matcha began to drag Lightning out of the room.

    Lightning struggled mightily as he threw his paws against the parquet floor, leaving behind a long trail of scratch, ¡°Let me speak to Zhao Yao! Just one sentence is enough! If not, I will really die! I am really going to die!¡±

    Zhao Yao let out a long sigh before struggling to get himself up. With his zombie-like eyes staring straight at Lightning, he asked, ¡°Speak up, what is the matter?¡±

    Lightning¡¯s scream was so loud that even the furniture started to tremble, ¡°Zhao Yao, I have contracted a terminal illness! I am going to die!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s face twisted into a frown as he muttered, ¡°What the hell are you talking about?¡±

    Lightning rified, ¡°This morning when I went for my morning toilet run, I felt a searing pain running through my belly!¡±

    Zhao Yao shot him a re before insisting, ¡°Erm, I¡¯m sure it¡¯s because you overatest night.¡±

    ¡°No, it¡¯s not!¡± With terror seared across his face, Lightning whipped out his phone and shed the Google results straight in Zhao Yao¡¯s face, ¡°I went to google the moment I felt the pain! After more than one hour of research, I realized that I have contracted a terminal disease! In a week¡¯s time, I will start to pee blood. Then, the mind-numbing pain will sear through my entire body. By then, I will have less than six months to live!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s face went nk as his body crashed back onto his bed, ¡°All the information out there is false. Trust me, drink some water and the pain will be gone.¡±

    ¡°How can all of that be fake?¡± A line was etched between Lightning¡¯s brows, ¡°Those werements left by professionals! Doctors!¡±

    Lightning climbed up to Zhao Yao and whispered into his ears, ¡°Zhao Yao, on the ount that I¡¯ll be dead in six months¡¯ time, can you kindly help me fulfill myst wish?¡±

    All these while, Matcha was just sitting on the floor staring dumbfoundedly at this entric Lightning. Hearing hisst sentence, Matcha rified, ¡°What is yourst wish?¡±

    Lightning announced, ¡°Myst wish is to return to the borderless in fields, to hunt in the Gobi Desert, to climb up the ravines, to take in the fresh air that nature has to offer, to admire the beautiful blue sky! I want to die as a Pas¡¯s cat!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyelids sagged as he listened to his absurd ims and muttered, ¡°Howme.¡±

    However, an amazing sight awaited Zhao Yao when he randomly stretched his neck towards Lightning¡¯s direction. It was the golden exmation mark!

    ¡°A mission?¡±

    Mission: Return home

    Objective: Bring Lightning to a ce which resembled his natural habitat

    Reward: 200 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    Zhao Yao noticed the new mission assigned to him and immediately epted the offer. After all, there was nothing for him to lose.

    ¡°But to think of it, the paltry experience point is quite a disappointment.¡±

    However, it was still better than nothing. Zhao Yao then dragged his heavy body out of his bed before bringing Roly Poly and Lightning out on a trip.

    Lightning struggled relentlessly in his arms and screamed, ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m bringing you back home.¡±

    Immediately, beams of anticipation shot out of his eyes, ¡°Really? That¡¯s amazing! I can finally return to those beautiful ins!¡±

    On the other hand, Zhao Yao only brought Roly Poly along because his power offered the perfect camouge in the modern metropolis. Furthermore, Zhao Yao had yet to receive Roly Poly¡¯s power since he had not been recruited into the team.

    ...

    One hourter, Lightning was seen squatting next to a giant tree trunk with his eyes fixed on a nearby cage. A few dumb-looking Pas¡¯s cats simply stared back at him, nkly. Anger rolled through him as Lightning demanded, ¡°Is this a joke? I asked for the in fields! The Gobi Desert! How is the zoo my natural habitat?¡¯

    ¡°Alright, alright.¡±

    Five minutester, Lightning found himself standing at the entrance to the wild beast exhibit. He got so angry that the static had caused his body to puff up to twice his original size, ¡°Who told you that I preferred a safari? Other than the difference in size, this ce is still a bloody zoo! I want my in fields! I want the Gobi Desert!¡±

 Chapter 430: The Departure

    <h4>Chapter 430: The Departure</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Lightning¡¯s grumbling was starting to get on Zhao Yao¡¯s nerves as he shot him a death re, ¡°You expect me to bring you to the grasnd for 200 experience points? Only a r*tard will do that. I will think about it if you offered me 2000 instead.¡±

    However, the frown on Zhao Yao¡¯s face had already dissolved into a grin by the next second, ¡°Oh, missionpleted already?¡±

    Apparently, Zhao Yao had managed toplete Lightning¡¯s mission of bringing him back to his natural habitat. Despite hisckluster effort, Zhao Yao had earned himself 200*2 experience points.

    With the missionpleted, the probability of Zhao Yao brining Lightning to the actual grasnd or desert had plummeted to zero. Despite his relentless struggle, Zhao Yao simply ran his fingers through his fur before bringing him back home.

    Zhao Yao opened his front gate to a solemn-looking Hanako staring straight at him, with her arms folded across her chest. Seeing Lightning in Zhao Yao¡¯s arms, Hanako simply nodded her head despondently, ¡°Zhao Yao, I¡¯m happy to see you and Lightning enjoying each other¡¯spany.¡±

    Lightning¡¯s futile struggle grew even more violent, ¡°How are we even enjoying each other¡¯spany? I want to return to the grasnd! I want my title as King of the Gobi!¡±

    Zhao Yaoforted him by saying, ¡°Alright, alright. Tomorrow, I will bring you to the garden downstairs for a stroll.¡±

    Lightning¡¯s lips drew into a snarl as he shot Zhao Yao a look of disdain.

    However, Zhao Yao had no time for Lightning. He noticed the luggage standing next to Hanako and asked, ¡°Are you going back to Japan?¡±

    Hanako nodded her head before bending her body in aplete 90¡ã bow, ¡°I¡¯ve thought about it and I think it¡¯s best for me to go back one more time.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s brows immediately snapped together when he heard Hanako¡¯s words, ¡°Are you sure it¡¯s going to be okay?¡±

    An awkward smile stretched across Hanako¡¯s face as she shook her head, ¡°I cannot be 100% sure about that. However, I am responsible for this matter and I should do whatever I can to resolve it.¡±

    As a matter of fact, she had already grown used to her life with Zhao Yao. However, during the previous dream state, everyone except for her stayed in Jiangmen City. Only she returned to Japan, the street which she grew up in.

    She sped Zhao Yao¡¯s palms between her own and pleaded, ¡°Zhao Yao, I¡¯m afraid I cannot bring Lightning along, could you kindly take care of him on my behalf?¡±

    ¡°Hmph,¡± Zhao Yao nodded his head and offered, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll take care of your cat temporarily. Considering all that you have done, I¡¯ll simply charge you RMB 50 a day. Also, do not forget about the money which you owed me previously.¡±

    Hanako could only let out a mirthlessugh as she answered, ¡°Once I¡¯m back in Japan, I¡¯ll get my people to return you the money which I owe.¡±

    Seeing Hanako¡¯s tiny body disappearing behind his front gate, a sudden thought popped into Zhao Yao¡¯s head as he screamed, ¡°Hey, don¡¯t be afraid to give me a call if you¡¯re in any sorts of trouble.¡±

    Suddenly, Hanako swept her head around with anticipation glistening in her eyes, ¡°Zhao Yao, are you willing to go to Japan with me?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s too far. Furthermore, I don¡¯t even have a visa,¡± Zhao Yao bbered, ¡°We¡¯ll talk about this when you¡¯re really in trouble.¡±

    In the end, Hanako still left without thepany of a trusted friend. Zhao Yao watched that heartless Lightning was having a whale of a time ying with Mango and felt the anger bubbling in him, ¡°Don¡¯t you feel a shred of sadness now that your owner is leaving?¡±

    ¡°In this world, there isn¡¯t a single thing that willst forever, even rtionships or people whom you truly treasure. Zhao Yao, do not get overly emotional about it. Hanako might have left for Japan but you can still FaceTime her,¡± Then, Lightning diverted the topic by expounding on his predicament, ¡°I am a lone beast destined for greatness in the grasnd. Even if Hanako didn¡¯t leave for Japan today, it was only a matter of time before we separated.¡±

    Zhao Yao stared wide-eyed at this delusional cat and could not be bothered with him.

    However, there was a certain resolve in Lightning¡¯s words this time around. He seemed bent on a trip to the fields or even the Gobi Desert.

    Hence for the subsequent days, Lightning continued bombarding Zhao Yao with his request to do so.

    While Zhao Yao was peeing, Lightning would suddenly appear from the tiny crack behind the toilet bowl and pleaded, ¡°Zhao Yao, bring me to the grasnd where I belong!¡±

    While Zhao Yao was enjoying his food, Lightning¡¯s furry head would reach out from beneath the dining table and asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, a trip to the grasnd will provide the freshest of meat, the best of fruits that the world can provide. Also ...¡±Before he could evenplete his request, Zhao Yao had stuffed his head back underneath the table.

    While Zhao Yao was enjoying a nice hot shower, Lightning would appear on the ceiling. Despite the steam and water sttering on him, he would continue to beg, ¡°Bring me ...¡±

    Bam! Zhao Yao immediately grabbed the shower head and aimed it straight at Lightning, drenching him from head to toe.

    While Zhao Yao was sleeping, Lightning would creep up to his bedside and whispered into his ears, ¡°You want to go to the grasnd, you really want to ...¡±

    A few secondster, Lightning felt a strong grip grabbing onto his body as he got thrown into the toilet.

    While Zhao Yao was sitting on the toilet bowl, the door suddenly flung open as Lightning crept in sheepishly. A glimmer shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes as he threatened, ¡°Another word from you and I would flush you down the sewage along with all my shit.¡±

    This continued throughout the festive period. Despite his best efforts aimed at convincing Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao remained adamant. Firstly, the ce was too far. Secondly, he was toozy.

    This night, like all other nights, Lightning once again got thrown out of the bedroom. However, Red Packet was lurking in the shadows observing everything.

    Since starting work at the cat caf¨¦, Red Packet had been staying at Zhao Yao¡¯s apartment all these time. However, her soft-spoken naturebined with her resting bitch face had caused many to forget about her existence.

    Even though Red Packet¡¯s body was physically inside the apartment, his mind had long drifted into the exciting outdoors.

    ¡°With my power, I can easily earn so much money that would make Zhao Yao jealous. A life outside with all these money is definitely better than this monotonous life!¡±

    However, his ¡®prison break¡¯ n waspletely infeasible. Faced with Zhao Yao, there was practically zero chance of escaping. Nothing could possibly slip past his razor-sharp eyes. However, a glimmer began to sh across Red Packet¡¯s eyes as he watched the unwavering Lightning continued his begging.

    Suddenly, Red Packet had stealthily crept up behind Lightning and began probing him ¡°Do you want to return to the ins?¡±

    Lightning shot him a look of disdain but did not even bother to reply him.

    Red Packet continued by saying, ¡°I have a solution which might be able to help you.¡±

    Finally, Red Packet had Lightning¡¯s attention as he looked expectantly towards him. However, he immediately shook his head the next movement and reasoned, ¡°Are you crazy? You want me to do it behind Zhao Yao¡¯s back? He will skin us alive if he hears of it!¡±

    ¡°I admit. Zhao Yao is strong, but he isn¡¯t a god.¡± A devious smile spread across Red Packet¡¯s face as he continued, ¡°Once you have escaped into the grasnd, how can he possibly find you? That ce is huge!¡±

    A glimmer of excitement shed across Lightning¡¯s face before he shook his head again, ¡°No, no. We won¡¯t be able to escape from him! Do you even know where the grasnd is? How can we ever get there?¡±

    Red Packet assured him with a reassuring gaze, ¡°In the past, I spent quite some time che... outside doing some business. I happened to know quite a few cats around. Don¡¯t talk about the grasnd, I can even get you out of the country if you wished to.¡±

    This time around, Lightning had looked at Red Packet all differently. He slid a pack of catmint into Red Packet¡¯s paw and whispered, ¡°Bro, you really have the means to do it?¡±

    Red Packet¡¯s face turned into a grimace before rejecting the catmint offered to him, ¡°Thanks but no thanks. I¡¯m not interested in that. Let¡¯s talk about our great escape n.¡±

    This was enough to get Lightning all excited, ¡°Just tell me exactly what to do and I¡¯ll do it!¡±

    Finally, the relentless requests stopped. Instead, he acquiesced and was contented with the grass patch downstairs. Naturally, Zhao Yao was over the moon to see his supercat grown all reasonable. However, Zhao Yao had made it a rule that they could only go down after midnight, ounting for Lightning¡¯s peculiar appearance. Also, Dust Ball was instructed to look out for them in case of any trouble.

    Meow!

    Lightning stared at the unconscious Dust Ball lying at his feet and asked, ¡°What now? What are we supposed to do?¡±

    Red Packet craned his neck out from Lightning¡¯s bushy furs and screamed, ¡°Obviously we run!¡±

    This was a perfect n. Firstly, Lightning got Dust Ball to apany him downstairs. Next, he used some catmint to lure Dust Ball into opening an extradimensional gate for Red Packet.

    Lastly, the two scheming cats continued feeding Dust Ball with more and more catmint until she finally copsed at their feet.

    This n went off without a hitch. However, anxiety swirled around him as Lightning looked towards the mysterious and dark sky.

    ¡°Will it really be fine for the both of us to leave like that? I heard that the world is swarming with supercats and apostles. It¡¯s dangerous!¡±

    ¡°What are you even afraid of? Come with me. I still have about RMB 100,000 hiding in my secret stash. With me around, I guarantee you that you would not go a day without food or drinks. Life with me is 100 times better than your original dull and monotonous life.¡± Red Packet¡¯s deluge of lies continued pouring out of his tiny mouth. Meanwhile, he was thinking, ¡°My offensive power is still rather weak. However, this fe¡¯s electric ability makes him my perfect bodyguard!¡±

    The night sky was nketed in darkness as Red Packet threw his body within Lightning¡¯s snuggly fur. He then instructed Lightning all the way to an underground sewer.

    Red Packet rapidly knocked against the irregr rock wall as a pair of green eyes illuminated from the darkness, ¡°Who am I speaking to?¡±

    Red Packet struggled to find his footing against all those fur as he peered his head forward, ¡°It¡¯s me. I would like to book a flight.¡±

    The voice echoed from a distance, ¡°Hmph, is that Red Packet? Weren¡¯t you captured by the Cat King of the West? I didn¡¯t expect you to be able to escape from him. Bravo. Respect.¡±

    Red Packet interrupted, ¡°I didn¡¯te here to hear your bullshit. Are you even interested in conducting business?¡±

    ¡°Yes, of course! However, the prize has changed. The price for a domestic flight would be RMB 50,000 each. And overseas flight would cost RMB 100,000 each.¡±

    Red Packet¡¯s every muscle quivered with indignation, ¡°RMB 50,000? Do you take me for an idiot?¡±

    Amidst the pitch-ck darkness, a sea of green eyes began to flicker. There seemed to be tens or even hundreds of cats staring straight at them. Their animosity was palpable. Standing his ground, Red Packet took in a deep breath and dered, ¡°Are you intending to resort to violence? Do you even know who my boss is? It is the Pas¡¯s cat! Do you even know what a Pas¡¯s cat is? He is the king of the grasnds, the king of the Gobi Desert! His bite alone can break a five-inch steel bar into two! ¡±

    Meowhaha! A chorus ofughter broke out amidst the sea of cats, ¡°I¡¯m sorry to disappoint you but I¡¯m actually a fan of Animal. Judging from his r*traded looks, I bet he has only just escaped from the zoo.¡±

    Red Packet swept his head around only to see Lightning trembling like a leaf. A pool of fur had already umted at his feet. He began to scream in his head, ¡°Stop shaking! Can you at least put on a fearsome front? Just open your mouth or snarl! Show your fangs! Just pretend that you are Zhao Yao! If not, both of us are dead!¡±

    Red Packet¡¯s threats rang in his head. With every ounce of strength in him, Lightning tried to put a stop to the shaking and drew his lips into a snarl. However, his current expression looked more like he was suffering from constipation.

    Despite it, Red Packet continued to scream into the abyss of darkness, ¡°Do you even know what era we are living in? The species doesn¡¯t matter! What matters is his superpower! My boss here is the reincarnation of Zeus himself! One bolt of his could easily hit 1,000,000 volts. Even iron melted against him. I already warned you that my boss only got released recently. You definitely would not want to anger him.¡±

    With that, Red Packet started to pat against his shoulders, continuing his world-ss act, ¡°Boss, please calm down. If you kill them, the police wille after us again!¡±

    Suddenly, Red Packet threw his finger towards the cats lurking in the shadows and demanded, ¡°I¡¯m telling you to arrange our flights ASAP! Even I will not be able to save you if he is angry.¡±

    A chorus of discussion broke out amongst the cat. They seemed to be assessing the legitimacy of Red Packet¡¯s words. Then, the representative spoke, ¡°RMB 20,000. No more bargaining! This is our cost price.¡±

    ¡°Done.¡± Red Packet agreed, ¡°Do I pay using Alipay or WeChat? Let me look for my ount.¡±

    ¡°Both will do. Where are you headed for?¡±

    Red Packet screamed, ¡°Hong Kong!¡±

    Lightning screamed, ¡°¨¹r¨¹mqi!¡±

    The voice turned somewhat hesitant and asked, ¡°So who are we supposed to listen to?¡±

    Red Packet surveyed the situation in the sewer and began screaming in his head, ¡°Who the hell even wants to join you in and graze some stupid grass, but we cannot afford to argue now.¡± He could only bottle up his anger and relented, ¡°Obviously you listen to my boss!¡±

    The supercats hiding in the darkness began to scrutinize Lightning¡¯s appearance andmented, ¡°His looks are simply too striking. He can¡¯t possibly go through the security check. We need to shave him and put on some makeup on him.¡±

    Standing in the corner of a dimly-lit room, Lightning noticed a rainbow cat next to him. It was as if a rainbow had smashed into him, sttering all its colors over him. The rainbow cat muttered, ¡°Your head is really quite big. Let me think of an appropriate haircut for you.¡±

    Red Packet chimed in, ¡°Make him look as normal as possible to prevent him from attracting unwanted attention.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, my owner used to be the personal hairdresser for Jackie Chan. My skills are impable.¡± Suddenly, razor-sharp ws sprang from his paws as they glimmered against the light. Every sh across Lightning¡¯s body would cause a clump of fur to fall to the ground. His ws were no joke.

    Half an hourter, the floor was already covered in fur.

    Lightning lookedpletely unrecognizable. There was not a shred of fur on his body.

    Rainbow cat screamed, ¡°How is it? He looks just like a Sphynx Cat! No one will even know that he¡¯s a Pas¡¯s cat!¡±

    ¡°My fur! All of them! They are all gone!¡± Lightning stared dumbfoundedly at his own reflection. Without warning, he had already pounced on top of the rainbow cat, stuffing his head into his mouth, ¡°I will kill you!¡±

    ¡°Calm down! Boss, calm down!¡± Red Packet jumped forward in an attempt to restrain him, ¡°Actually, this look suits you! This is the trendiest look! Every single cat will die for this haircut!¡±

    ...

    A few hourster, Red Packet wasying inside a flight case, reserved especially for pets. He felt the flight case being hurled into the cabin as it crashed against the ground. Finally, he could breathe a sigh of relief, ¡°Atst, I¡¯ve escaped from the evil clutches of that devil, Zhao Yao! I¡¯ve finally left Lightning, that fool! Thank goodness I secretly changed my destination at thest minute! Hmph, with my power, I will create a fortune in Hong Kong!¡±

    Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in his head, ¡°Red Packet, it¡¯s me. Can you see me?¡±

    A line etched between his brows as he noticed a strange cat in the corner of the cabin. He immediately recognized it as Lightning.

    A beaming smile stretched across Lightning¡¯s face as he shouted, ¡°You are really careless, Red Packet! You got your destination all wrong! It should be ¨¹r¨¹mqi instead of Hong Kong! Luckily, I spotted the mistake and helped you changed it. If not, we would have been separated.¡±

    Red Packet was left speechless.

    Lightning continued, ¡°Thank goodness for your contacts. To think that you actually came up with such an borate n. Once we¡¯re there, we will be able to reach the vast grasnds, the Gobi Desert, and even the Snow Mountains. I will show you the magnificence of my home ...¡±

    Suddenly, another white cat resting inside his cage spoke, ¡°Are you returning home?¡±

    Lightning answered, ¡°Yeah! You too?¡±

    The white cat answered, ¡°Nope, I¡¯m here for a holiday.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s so fun about this ce?¡± Another cat interrupted, ¡°I¡¯m just following my owner here. Can you guys introduce some famous attractions in this ce?¡±

    Under Lightning¡¯s lead, a series of discussions broke out amongst the excited cats. All of them couldn¡¯t wait to explore the stunning beauty of ¨¹r¨¹mqi.

    All except Red Packet. Throughout the torturous ne ride, Red Packet could only endure the exasperating conversations by shutting his eyes, ¡°Another bunch of country bumpkins! I will get rid of all of you the moment we touch down!¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, Dust Ball was lying on the ground when she noticed an evil presence looming over her. As she struggled to open her eyes, she saw that pair of vicious eyes staring straight into her soul.

    ¡°Zhao Yao! You cannot me me! They attacked me! They even tried to bribe me using catmint! But I¡¯m not that kind of cat! Obviously, I rejected them! In the end, they simply stuffed the catmint down my throat! I tried to fight against them but they overwhelmed me with their numbers! I really tried my best!¡±

    ¡°Dust Ball, I am truly disappointed in you.¡± Zhao Yao propped his chin on his hand before pinning her down with his intense re, ¡°From today onwards, no more catmint for you.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Dust Ball felt breathless when she heard it, ¡°Zhao Yao, no ...¡±

    ¡°Stop exining yourself. I will only allow you to continue when you disy sufficient self-restraint. Just take a look at yourself. You don¡¯t even look like a cat. When was thest time you groomed yourself?¡±

    At the same time, an extradimensional belly gate had spiraled behind Dust Ball. The invisible deflective field started tugging at her before hurling her into it.

    Next, Zhao Yao expelled every single ounce of catmint within the belly before fixing his death re back at Dust Ball, ¡°Use this time to reflect on your actions. From now on, you need to learn to live without catmint.¡±

    After settling Dust Ball, Zhao Yao immediately went on his feet as a flurry of thoughts rushed through his head, ¡°Lightning that fe definitely wouldn¡¯t have the guts to do this. It must be because of Red Packet, that sly little cat.¡±

    With that, Zhao Yao had already extended his hand towards Roly Poly before grabbing him by his fat neck, ¡°Roly Poly,e with me. It¡¯s time to bring those two scums back.¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s body slight reacted with a slight shudder. However, that same deadpan look remained printed on his face. Actually, he was bursting with joy, ¡°Meowhaha, it¡¯s finally time for me, Roly Poly, to show the world what I am made of!¡±

    With Roly Poly¡¯s power in effect, the invisible duo leaped out of their windows. Instantly, the deflective field had already wrapped around them, slowing their fall to a graceful descent. They had already reached the grass patch where Lightning and Red Packet werest seen at.

    Zhao Yao immediately crouched against the bed of weeds before taking in a deep breath, ¡°Hmph, their smell still lingers around here. However, under such circumstances ...¡±

    Even though Zhao Yao could still make out the faint smell left behind by them, the scent was so subtle that it was almost useless to him. Hence, Zhao Yao could only resort to someone else for this particr task.

    With his mouth stretched open, a muscr Sphynx Cat bounced straight out from it. With just one paw pressing against the ground, you could already notice the cracks emerging along the soil and the creaking sound rumbling in your ears.

    Sphynx Cat seemedpletely annoyed by Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? I was just in the midst of my training.¡±

    Hence, Zhao Yao told him about the supposed mutiny and asked, ¡°Can you detect those two pesky cats¡¯ scent?¡±

    After months of relentless training, Sphynx Cat¡¯s sensory acuity had far surpassed that of any biological creatures. Naturally, his sense of smell was even more sensitive than Zhao Yao¡¯s. His nostrils red slightly as hemented, ¡°There.¡±

    Following quickly behind him, the trio sped down the alley at warp speed. In less than 20 minutes, they found themselves standing next to the entrance to a sewage system.

    Suddenly, a line began to etch across Sphynx cat¡¯s forehead as he muttered, ¡°They met quite a few cats down here. There are too many scents. It¡¯s a bit confusing. I need some time to differentiate between them ...¡±

    Zhao Yao raised his head and noticed a stray cat lyingfortably within an empty box. Hence, he instructed Roly Poly to lift his power as he approached the stray cat with a friendly smile. Immediately, the cat noticed this foreign presence and shot Zhao Yao a condescending re.

    With that same friendly smile, Zhao Yao squatted next to it and asked, ¡°Hey, are you a supercat?¡±

    The stray cat continued eyeing Zhao Yao down with that same look but refused to reply.

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°You can drop your pretense. I need your help with some information. Yesterday, there should be a pair of Pas¡¯s cat and orange cat walking past here. Did you happen to see them?¡±

    While Zhao Yao was in the midst of his questioning, he felt a paw tapping frantically against his shoulder, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao!¡±

    Zhao Yao turned his body around and he strained his eyes towards the dark sewer. Immediately, pairs of yellow and green eyes illuminated the mysterious ce. They definitely were not the least bit friendly.

    The cat, which Zhao Yao had attempted to question, simply instructed coolly, ¡°Get this man out of here.¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, Lightning and Red Packet had flown all the way to the beautiful city of ¨¹r¨¹mqi. As nned, dedicated personnel hade to receive them as they escaped through an underground tunnel.

    This was no ordinary tunnel. It was flooding with cats. Evidently, they were either preparing to take off or had justnded.

    Lightning stared in amazement at this amazing scene. Some cats had even set up stalls there, selling all sorts of merchandise, while others were promoting their delivery business.

    Currently, Lightning and Red Packet found themselves in the middle of a cat street, which was located next to an airport. It was teeming with all sorts of supercats and apostles.

    Red Packet look around this bustling scene with a look of disdain before saying, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll just cut to the chase. We shall separate from now on. You can go wherever you wish to while I¡¯ll be going to Hong Kong.¡±

    The pit of Lightning¡¯s stomach fell as those words echoed in his head. Immediately, he pounced onto Red Packet¡¯s hind legs and begged, ¡°Red Packet, you promised me that you would apany me to the grasnds!¡±

    Red Packet simply responded with an indifferent stare and exined, ¡°Why did you believe in all the b*llshit that I said? Who would even want to go to that godforsaken ce where there¡¯s no wifi, no electricity, no nothing!¡±

    Disappointment sagged through Lightning¡¯s face as he watched hisrade disappeared amidst the sea of cats, ¡°Hmph, I thought you would be interested in mining all those gold with me ...¡±

    Suddenly, Red Packet¡¯s ears jolted upright as he swept his head around, ¡°What did you just say?¡±

    Lightning was tugging at his earlobe as he exined, ¡°Goldmine. There is a goldmine situated right beside my home. Initially, I thought you would be interested in it. After all, you are such a resourceful cat. You definitely have some tricks up your sleeves to extract all these gold. However, I will not force you since you have no interest in this barrennd ...¡±

    Red Packet was already trembling with excitement, ¡°There is a gold mine? Is this the effect of my power? It definitely is! After all these bad luck, it¡¯s finally time to enjoy the good luck! It¡¯s my time to strike gold! Alright, alright, I must calm down. With the wealth umted from this ce, I can bring them over to Hong Kong and instantly turn myself into the richest cat alive!¡±

    Red Packet was extremely confident in his power. This exined his firm conviction that it was only a matter of time before he struck gold. Immediately, he threw his paws around Lightning¡¯s shoulder and rified, ¡°Who told you that I disliked the grasnd? I love gold mines, I mean I love the grasnds! Ever since I was young, I¡¯ve been dreaming of this ce, sprinting down those glorious fields. My childhood ambition was to be the king of the grasnds!¡±

    Joy bubbled up inside Lightning as he screamed, ¡°Really?¡±

    ¡°Of course! By the way, what is the approximate location of this gold mine?¡±

    Hence, the duo spent their next half an hour purchasing their expedition supplies along Cat Street. This was Red Packet¡¯s one-way ticket to unimaginable wealth.

    Suddenly, they were inundated with mouth-watering scents which came in all directions.

    Since the day the supercats were awoken, their behavior amongst themselves had started to mirror those shared among humans. Gradually, they realized the importance of money in a civilized society. Hence, groups of supercats came together to form the market which they currently found themselves in.

    This cat street was simply a microcosm of the world of supercats. ces simr to these could be found in every major city. They were filled with supercats and apostles interested in starting a business. The only difference was the scale of these markets.

    ¡°Roasted cat food! The most authentic roasted cat food you can ever find in China!¡±

    ¡°Take a look at the freshest mutton that you would ever see! Zero preservatives added! All natural!¡±

    ¡°Take a look at these premium imported canned food!¡±

    ¡°Bro, my female cats are all imported from Ennd, Japan, and even the United States! Just look at their fur! Look at how beautiful they are! Come and take a look!¡±

    Lightning felt a maic force pulling him towards those ravishing female cats when he felt a strong tug at his neck, ¡°Stop running around. The stuff that we are looking for isn¡¯t here.¡±

    Under Red Packet¡¯smand, they had bought a haversack, a water bottle, a hat and bags of cat food. These were essential for their survival.

    Lighting¡¯s face scrunched into a scowl and asked, ¡°Is there really a need for so much stuff? I mean I was born in the wild. We can just survive by hunting.¡±

    Red Packet slid him a re and sneered, ¡°Are you sure you¡¯re capable of that? I mean I¡¯m not exactly a fan of raw meat. To be honest, I hate them.¡±

    ¡°Oh yes, can you tell me about the route to your home?¡±

    ¡°No worries. I have Googled every single information that we possibly need. Firstly, we get to XX town, then we¡¯ll travel to XX Vige. From there ...¡±

    With one haversack slung across their tiny shoulders, the two cats stopped right in front of a van. One fat cat was standing by the door and started scrutinizing them from head to toe, ¡°Where are you headed for?¡±

    Red Packet exined, ¡°We would like to get to XX town! How much will that cost?¡±

    The fat cat bbered, ¡°RMB 500 each.¡±

    Red Packet¡¯s brows furrowed slightly as he retorted, ¡°Isn¡¯t that slightly too pricey? It¡¯s a rip-off!¡±

    The fat cat was not about to give in as he scoffed, ¡°Do you know just how far XX town is from the city center? Take it or leave it.¡± At the same time, he had stuffed a pawful worth of food into its mouth.

    Images of the magnificent gold mine started flooding Red Packet¡¯s head. Hence, he could only bottle up his anger and transferred the money over to him. He then led Lightning up the run-down bus.

    In a matter of minutes, the entire van was already flooded with cats, pressed against one another. Red Packet¡¯s temple began to throb with rage as he muttered, ¡°These bunch of country bumpkins! Why am I even forced to squeeze with all of them?¡±

    He could not help but reminisce hisvish lifestyle before he was thrown behind bars. Even life under Zhao Yao was significantly better than this. At least he didn¡¯t have to share a confined space with all these uncultured swine. As a cat of his pedigree, when did he ever had to resort to such a destitute lifestyle. Just the thought of it caused him to tremble with fury.

    The door finally mmed shut after a few more cats managed to squeeze their way up the packed bus. The fat cap tapped the driver on his shoulders before showing him the destination for the day. Naturally, the driver was a human. He nodded his head and announced, ¡°Alright, everyone sit tight! We¡¯ll set off now!¡±

    These revolting surroundings turned Red Packet¡¯s face into a giant grimace. On the other hand, Lightning loved this environment. Since shaving all his fur away, he was constantly gued by a bone-chilling cold. Now, all these cats surrounding him provided much-needed warmth which was simplyfortable.

    A few hourster, the van finally stopped at their destination. The two cats alighted from the van with an intense backache. The fat cat watched as the two cats disappeared into the horizons. Secretly, he whipped out his phone and typed, ¡°Two supercats have just arrived at XX town ...¡±

    After traversing through the treacherous mountain ranges, they finally found themselves at the entrance to a magnificent desert.

    Red Packet was barely able to breathe at this point as he panted, ¡°Are we there yet? I think I¡¯m starting to lose sensation in my legs.¡±

    After all, cats¡¯ physical strength was average at best. To travel such a long distance with a heavy haversack weighing him down, Red Packet had truly reached his physical limitation.

    Lightning, too, was exhausted. However, he began to pull Red Packet¡¯s haversack by his teeth and encouraged him, ¡°Yes, we¡¯re almost there. It¡¯s right in front of us.¡±

    Half an hourter ...

    ¡°Where are all the grass? I thought you said that there was grass?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s winter! All the grass are dead!¡±

    Half an hourter ...

    Red Packet noticed a familiar object and asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t that the bottle that we threw just now? And that puddle of ...¡± Red Packet crouched towards the puddle of unknown liquid before taking in a deep breath, ¡°Isn¡¯t this your pee?¡±

    Lightning tried his best to avoid Red Packet¡¯s usatory gaze and exined, ¡°How is that even possible? All these bottles look the same. I bet someone else left it here.¡± At this moment, Lightning noticed a snake at the corner of his eyes and he immediately jumped behind Red Packet before screaming, ¡°A snake! There is a snake!¡±

    Red Packet was left speechless by this chicken-hearted cat, ¡°That snake is barely the size of your butt!¡± Suddenly, Red Packet began to pin Lightning down with a solemn stare, ¡°Tell me honestly. Have you ever been to this ce before?¡±

    ¡°Of course I have!¡± Lightning announced as he pounded against his chest, ¡°I grew up in this ce. I am the son of the grasnds!¡±

    Red Packet continued pinning him down with a suspicious re, ¡°In that case, how far away are we from your home?¡±

    ¡°An hour¡¯s walk?¡± Somehow, there seemed to be a tinge of hesitation in Lightning¡¯s voice, ¡°Or maybe two hours¡¯? Or maybe even three? I mean you do understand that the grasnds are continually evolving. It¡¯s changed so much since I wasst here!¡±

    Red Packet finally had enough. With anger bursting through him, he shouted, ¡°You¡¯re never even set foot in this ce before!¡±

    Simrly, Lightning could no longer keep up with the act and lowered his head in shame, ¡°But I checked it on Google maps at least 10 times! I also watched at least 20 episodes of Man vs Wild! Do you know Bear Grylls?¡±

    ¡°I!¡± Red Packet¡¯s brain exploded with fury as those lies echoed in his head. By clinging on to hisst strand of hope, he asked, ¡°What about the goldmine?¡±

    Somehow, Lightning¡¯s head managed to lower even further. Even his ears began to droop, ¡°From what I read on Google, there is a gold mine here. Some time ago, a pirate came to the grasnds after his retirement and found a gold mine right here!¡±

    ¡°You stupid son of a b*tch.¡± Red Packet wanted to just pounce on this r*tard before tearing him to pieces. At least, he wouldn¡¯t have to be bothered by his nonsense anymore. Finally, he decided to leave Lightning behind and just left.

    ¡°D*mn it!¡± mes of anger continued to sear through Red Packet, ¡°What happened to the goldmine? What happened to my power? Or is Lightning simply too unlucky? Even my power cannot overpower his?¡±

    Lightning rushed forward and asked, ¡°Where are you going?¡±

    ¡°Where else? Obviously Hong Kong!¡± Red Packet screamed, ¡°I¡¯m warning you, stop following me! If not, even I might turn into a r*tard just like you!¡±

    Lightning watched as Red Packet¡¯s tiny frame disappeared beyond the horizon. He muttered, ¡°I just wanted to see the beautiful grasnds.¡±

    Red Packet let out a mirthlessugh before continuing down his path.

    Lightning¡¯s throat thickened with sobs as he exined, ¡°I¡¯m sorry for lying to you! Actually, I was raised in a zoo! Everything I know about the grasnds came out of my grandpa¡¯s mouth! Actually, he was also born and raised in the zoo! He had never been to the grasnds before! I just wanted toe here and take a good look at it!¡±

    Suddenly, Red Packet¡¯s footsteps came to a halt as he turned his head around, ¡°Shut up! Stop irritating me!¡± Seeing that Lightning was no longer following behind him, a contented glee spread across Red Packet¡¯s face. He then began to walk down the path which he came from.

    ¡°I hope I¡¯ll be able to reach the airport before the sky turns dark. I¡¯m such a fool for believing in that r*tard! Never mind, I¡¯ll pamper myself by staying at a five-star hotel the moment I touch down in Hong Kong!¡±

    However, his paws began to hurt from just walking another 20 minutes. He had no choice but to stop for a break.

    ¡°That r*tard has no fur at all. If he continues searching for the grasnd, he will simply freeze to death!¡±

    ¡°Just look at him! Even a tiny snake can scare the living daylights out of him!¡±

    mes of anger continued to shoot through him as he walked, ¡°What can that r*tard do? He can neither hunt nor navigate! He¡¯s useless!¡±

    ¡°D*mn it!¡± Suddenly, Red Packet turned 180¡ã and walked towards where he came from, ¡°But I can¡¯t just leave him there.¡±

    After walking another 500 to 600 meters, Red Packet saw a Pas¡¯s cat sprinting down towards him at top speed.

    Red Packet screamed, ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you not to follow me? Meowhaha, how is it? Have you finally given up your dreams of your god d*mn grasnds? I wouldn¡¯t mind bringing you to Hong Kong if you acknowledge me as your master.¡±

    Lightning could barely catch his breath as he bolted down the desert, ¡°Quickly ... quickly run!¡±

    Red Packet was bbergasted by his response and asked, ¡°Why?¡¯

    ¡°Just run!¡±

    Bam! Out of nowhere, an SUV burst out and began to chase them down at top speed. It was moving so fast that it was creating a mini sandstorm!

    With no time to think, Red Packet turned his body around and started sprinting down the same path which he came from. He eximed, ¡°What the hell is that?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know!¡±

    ¡°Then why are we running?¡±

    ¡°Someone on board the vehicle was shooting at me!¡±

    Bam!

    Lightning felt a piercing pain searing through his body as he copsed against the sandy ground.

    Red Packet immediately stopped next to him and saw the tranquilizer dart sticking out of his legs. However, the SUV was not stopping. In fact, it was speeding up. Red Packet began to scream at the top of his voice, ¡°What are you doing? Get up! Get up and run!¡±

    Lightning tried to move his paws but it was to no avail. The tranquilizer dart had already taken effect.

    Suddenly, he felt the muscle in his legs were leaden down by this mysterious weight. There was no way he could continue running.

    The sound of another gunshot echoed in the air. Rice Packet felt his strength slipping through his fingers. He tried to gather himself together but it was to no avail as he tumbled to the ground.

    Somehow, his eyelids grew heavier and heavier. Despite how much he struggled, he just couldn¡¯t keep them open. Suddenly, he noticed a ck leather shoe hovering over him as some noise echoed in the background.

    ¡°...orange cat ...¡±

    ¡°It should be ... a supercat ...¡±

    ¡°Even though we didn¡¯t manage to find ... we still manage to catch ... boss should be ...¡±

    ¡°...I mean we should be able to fetch quite a good price ...¡±

    Suddenly, Red Packet felt an immense force crushing onto him, rendering himpletely unconscious.

    ...

    Hourster, Zhao Yao found himself standing in the middle of the sewer. He was surrounded by a sea of supercats. All of them were shaking violently and dared not to even make eye contact with this monster.

    Once again, Zhao Yao squatted beside that same stray cat and asked, ¡°So are you finally willing to talk now? Where did those two go to?¡±

    The stray cat tried its best to suppress the trembling in its voice and responded, ¡°I am a professional! I will never divulge the whereabouts of my customers!¡±

    Piu! Piu! Piu!

    Three jets of water sprayed out of Zhao Yao¡¯s water gun, sttering all over their bodies. Immediately, a chorus of screams echoed down the dark sewer.

    The surrounding cats were barely able to breathe as they watched this abuse happen right before their very eyes.

    ¡°This devil!¡±

    ¡°How could such an evil human actually exist in our world?¡±

    ¡°Of course not! This guy obviously isn¡¯t a human!¡±

    ¡°Oh my god! Just look at that devious smile of his!¡±

    Zhao Yao shot the remaining cats a death re before threatening, ¡°For now, it¡¯s just water. If you do not wish to be drenched with your subordinate¡¯s pee and be the lowest life form around, I will encourage you to tell me the truth already.¡±

    ¡°This devil.¡± The cat could hardly believe the words ringing in his head.

    Another jet of water sttered across his face as Zhao Yao spoke coolly, ¡°Speak!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll talk! I¡¯ll talk! ...¡±

    A few minutester, the stray cat had already copsed to the ground. He couldn¡¯t believe that he actually went against his own code of conduct. Zhao Yao then led Sphynx Cat and Roly Poly out of the sewage with a frown dangling on his face, ¡°I can¡¯t believe he actually went that far. I mean he is just an ordinary animal from the zoo ...¡±

    Zhao Yao knew about Lightning¡¯s story from Hanako. She had adopted Lightning from a local zoo. He had spent his entire life living within the four walls of his cage and had never seen the grasnds.

    Hence, this was why Zhao Yao managed toplete his mission when Lightning demanded to return to his home.

    Zhao Yao thought about the situation and dismissed the idea of locating them alone. With them all the way at ¨¹r¨¹mqi, it was simply too inefficient and too much of a hassle.

    Hence, Zhao Yao whipped out his phone before giving Inspector Ho a call.

    ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this Zhao Yao? Why would you suddenly decide to give me a call?¡±

    Zhao Yao had no time for jokes. He expressed his concern in the most serious tone, ¡°Two of my supercats have gone missing.¡±

    A sudden seriousness simrly echoed from Inspector Ho¡¯s voice, ¡°So what are you nning?¡±

    ¡°Help me conduct a search. I have already sent all the relevant documents to you. They were heading for ¨¹r¨¹mqi.¡± Zhao Yao added, ¡°Both of them are exceptionally weak. Just a few ordinary humans should be able to take care of them. Given the current safety climate, I fear for their safety out there.¡±

    Inspector ho reassured him, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll immediately contact my colleagues over at ¨¹r¨¹mqi. I will inform you the moment I receive any information.¡±

    ¡°Thanks. However, I have already made arrangements to go there myself. Hence, just drop me a message if my line is unavable.¡±

    ¡°What? Zhao Yao, I need you to calm down. Just wait for the information on my end. Hello! Hello!¡± Inspector Ho stared nkly at his phone¡¯s screen before letting out a mirthlessugh, ¡°This fe.¡± He immediately contacted his colleagues over at ¨¹r¨¹mqi and informed them of the situation, ¡°Those two cats better survive. If not, I dare not imagine what Zhao Yao would do ...¡±

    Just the thought of it had sent shivers running down Inspector Ho¡¯s spine.

    After contacting Inspector Ho, Zhao Yao immediately made a beeline for the airport. He had no time to book a ne ticket and had to infiltrate one of the nes by turning invisible.

    ...

    In his semi-conscious state, Red Packet felt his entire surroundings shaking and moving. He tried his best to open his eyes and found himself inside a van, lying next to Lightning.

    In front of him sat another Pas¡¯s cat with a devious smile stretched across his face. Obviously, he was up to no good as he scrutinized the pair of them from head to toe, ¡°Oh, are you finally awake?¡±

    Suppressing his fear, Red Packet stared straight at his adversary and threatened, ¡°Who are you? Forget it, you don¡¯t have to tell me that but I¡¯m telling you that you got the wrong cat. This stupid fe next to me and myself belong to an exceptionally powerful apostle. Have you heard of the headless horseman? If he knows about this, I assure you that this is thest time you set foot on this world.¡±

    ¡°Meowhahaha,¡± The Pas¡¯s cat copsed to the floor as he bellowed inughter.

    A man sitting in the front row of the van asked, ¡°Sandstorm, are they awake?¡±

    The Pas¡¯s cat that was referred to as Sandstorm, whipped out his phone as a voice recording echoed inside the van, ¡°Yup, they¡¯re awake. ording to that tiny cat, they are both domestic cats belonging to an apostle called the headless horseman. He even told me to release them. Meowhaha! He even threatened me saying that his so-called headless horseman would kill us if we don¡¯t y by his rule.¡±

    The front row of the van sat two humans, a driver, and his co-driver. Both theirughter started to reverberate down the vehicle.

    ¡°Orange cat, actually you are not our objective. But since we already saw you, I guess you can only me it on your own bad luck.¡± The co-driver was a huge bald bloke, sportingplete tactical clothing. A huge shotguny calmly on hisp. There was even a gigantic scar running down the length of his cheeks. From Red Packet¡¯s angle, it looked exactly like a centipede as it wriggled with his every action.

    ¡°Hey, my name is Centipede. From today onwards, I am your owner.¡± With that, he began to finger a strange looking controller in his hand before pressing a button.

    Instantly, Lightning and Red Packet¡¯s ear-splitting screams reverberated within the tiny van. Both their bodies began to convulse violently as agony seared across their faces. Even Lightning was jolted away from this agonizing pain.

    Centipede finally let go of the button as silence ensued. Both cats were struggling to catch their breath as fear crossed their face.

    Centipede continued, ¡°The thing attached to your neck is called an electric cor. By pressing this button, a jolt of current would run through your body just like that.¡± He lifted his shoulders in a shrug before tapping on the button again.

    Immediately, ear-splitting screams started to echo throughout the van as the cats convulsed against the floor.

    With a sinister smile stretched across his face, Centipede released the button and reminded them, ¡°Now, I hope you know who your new owner is.¡±

    Lightning was shaking like a leaf as he stared at this monster, this monster that was supposed to be his owner. His eyes were filled with fear and he dared not utter a single sound.

    However, Red Packet was not about to go down without a fight, ¡°Listen to me. Go on the web and search for information regarding the headless horseman. He is our owner and you are no match for him! If you release us now, I¡¯ll just pretend that nothing has happened. After all, we haven¡¯t even seen your face yet.¡±

    Sandstorm tranted Red Packet¡¯s thoughts to Centipede using his phone. Centipede let out a sigh of despair as he shook his head, ¡°From the looks of it, both of you still do not understand.¡±

    ¡°Let me make it clear to you. This isn¡¯t Jiangmen City. I don¡¯t give a shit about your owner. He can be the brainless horseman for all I care. When you are here, I am your boss. Understood?¡± Another wave of excruciating pain swept through their bodies as Centipede continued, ¡°Be a good boy and behave yourself. From now on, I¡¯ll try to help the both of you find a buyer. If you¡¯re lucky, you will be able to enjoy a life 100 times better than before. If you choose to continue rebelling against me, I have no problems selling a dead cat as well. Many people cannot wait to dissect your cute little bodies.¡±

    A devious smile finally appeared on Centipede¡¯s face as he watched the two cats trembling like a leaf. The sale of supercats was a lucrative business. After all, the majority of them had powers that were extremely weak, making them easy targets. Furthermore, there was ack of legition moderating the market. Hence, the violence in this industry was not something an average man could possibly imagine.

 Chapter 435: Wealth! Money! Fortune!

    <h4>Chapter 435: Wealth! Money! Fortune!</h4>

    Red Packet¡¯s eyes were riveted to the obnoxious Centipede as he muttered with a sigh of despair, ¡°D*mn it! To be captured by a barbarian with no brain is truly the worst situation. We¡¯re dead!¡±

    The two cats could only sit obediently in the van as the vehicle traversed across a bumpy terrain beforeing to a stop in a secluded town.

    With the two electric cors in ce, Centipede was not the least bit worried about the cats escaping. Hence, they led them down the van, towards a dpidated building.

    With one strong kick, the tattered doors had swung open, revealing a giant wooden nk. Crouching beneath this nk, they saw an extremely long staircase leading into an abyss of darkness.

    Red Packet¡¯s eyebrows furrowed slightly at this scene as he whispered, ¡°What a careful fe.¡±

    They carefully made their way down the precarious stairway only to be bbergasted by the scene before them. The size of the underground bunker had far exceeded what Red Packet had imagined.

    Whaty before them was a giant prison with up to hundreds of cats housed within it. This monstrous prison was subdivided into hundreds of individual prison cells, bounded by steel bars the size of a human thumb. Each prison cell was also equipped with an individual toilet, water, and some cat food.

    The stench of 100 cat toilets squeezed within such a tiny space proved too much for Red Packet to handle. He literally felt himself suffocating from the foul smell as tears welled up in his eyes.

    These imprisoned cats¡¯ eyes were filled with both fear and desperation. The presence of these two neers failed to elicit any sort of response from them as they simply stared nkly into their surroundings.

    This prison was surrounded by tens of muscr blokes. Evidently, they were responsible for the security in this ce. They raised their heads in unison before shooting Centipede a reassuring nod.

    ¡°Centipede, managed to grab hold of another two cats?¡±

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you lucky? But what¡¯s wrong with that one? Why is it all bald?¡±

    Centipede simply responded by giving a dismissive wave of his hand before leading the group further down the underground bunker.

    At the far end of the prison, stood a few cats tied up to a beam behind them. In front of them stood a fatso with a cat o¡¯ nine tails dangling by his hand. He cocked his body back before unleashing a ferocious whip against the cats. Immediately, their screams echoed down the long corridor.

    ¡°Who told you to escape?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve already told you umpteen times! It¡¯s either we sell you or you die here!¡±

    Both of them barely managed to bit back their scream as they witnessed this atrocity ur in front of them.

    Lightning was regretting his stupid decision, ¡°D*mn it! Why did I choose to escape? Isn¡¯t it better to just stay in Zhao Yao¡¯s apartment? At most, he would only trample on my dignity but these crazy guys are literally torturing them!¡±

    Red Packet¡¯s paws clenched into a hard fist as he muttered, ¡°Zhao Yao, please don¡¯t fail us. You have to find us soon! I¡¯m afraid I would have already turned into a dead cat by the time you¡¯re here.¡±

    The fatso, responsible for the despicable torture, noticed Centipede¡¯s arrival and weed him with a radiant smile, ¡°Hey, I thought you went out for the King of the Pas¡¯s cat? How is it? Did you manage to catch it?¡±

    Centipede¡¯s voice began to shake with anger, ¡°Wild boar, stop gloating over my predicament. If I fail to capture it, I¡¯m not the only one boss will be going after. Even you will get implicated.¡±

    ¡°Hey, calm down! It was just a joke!¡± Wild Boar casually tossed the whip into a corner before sprinting towards Centipede. He noticed the two neers behind him as a devious smile spread across his face, ¡°Take a look at these new cats! Oh, what happened to this one here? Why is it all bald?¡±

    Centipede responded with some stupid reason before entrusting the two cats into his arms, ¡°Interrogate the both of them and find out what kind of power they¡¯re hiding. I hope they would be able to at least appease boss for now.¡±

    This fat man, who wasmonly referred to as Wild Boar, was the interrogator of this organization. As an apostle, he had the power to authenticate the truthfulness of one¡¯s words. No lies could possibly go past him undetected. Hence, he and his supercat hade together to form the perfect interrogation duo.

    Thus, all cats captured by Centipede would first have to go through Wild Boar to validate their power and value. If they were just another run-of-the-mill cat, they would simply be tossed into the previous cat prison.

    If they possessed of an unheard of power, this information would immediately be ryed to their boss. Then, they would be thrown into another secret prison, which was hidden further underground.

    However, the results of today¡¯s haul had far exceeded Centipede¡¯s expectation.

    Half an hourter, while Centipede and Sandstorm were busy burying their heads in a giant bowl of rice, Wild Boar approached out of nowhere with his face glistening in sweat. A wide grin cracked across his face as he eximed, ¡°Oh my god! Centipede! We did it!¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Do they have some sort of godly powers?¡±

    Beams of excitement shot out of Wild Boar¡¯s eyes as he continued screaming, ¡°That useless Pas¡¯s cat is only capable of producing static. Useless fool! But that orange cat is different! He¡¯s unique! He has the power of good fortune! With him around, we¡¯ll be rich!¡±

    ¡°What did you just say? The power of good fortune?¡± Centipede could hardly believe the words ringing in his head, ¡°I didn¡¯t know such a power actually existed.¡±

    Wild Boar could hardly contain his excitement, ¡°This cat is living proof of the existence of this power! I haven¡¯t gotten to the specifics but it is definitely able to control an individual¡¯s luck to a certain degree! We might be the next Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates or even Warren Buffet!¡±

    Centipede could feel the blood pumping through his body as his heart pounded against his chest. Even though the existence of superpower had greatly revolutionized the world, money was still the most important asset that you could have. With money, you could do whatever you want, even in the world of supercats.

    This was truly a blessing in disguise. Even though he failed to capture his intended target, he managed to capture something far more powerful.

    Just the thought of it would send jitters down his body.

    Naturally, his first instinct was to keep this fortune cat for himself.

    However, he was immediately brought back to reality when he noticed the tens of security guards surrounding the prison. Next, the image of his fearsome leader flooded his mind. That man had the most powerful supercats you could possibly imagine working for him. He was the underground emperor of this entire province. Even the local government dared not lift a finger against him. Centipede could only dismiss his selfish thought as sorrow shredded his insides.

    Wild Boar then nodded his head and instructed, ¡°Go on! Go and inform the boss! We would definitely earn more than a few praises from him!¡±

    Centipede then whipped out his phone and reported this exciting news straight to his boss. A deep masculine voice then echoed from the other end.

    ¡°Thanks for the report. You have done a great job. I need you to throw this cat into our highest security prison. I¡¯lle over tonight.¡±

    Centipede¡¯s head plunged towards his chest as he pondered, ¡°I guess boss isn¡¯t intending to put this cat on auction. I guess he¡¯s going to use it for himself.¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao had descended into ¨¹r¨¹mqi airport after the short domestic flight. Everyone waspletely oblivious to his presence as he skidded past the security check effortlessly.

    ¡°Those two fes should have been transported over as shipment. I should just go over to the shipment receiving point and take a look.¡±

    Zhao Yao also released Sphynx Cat into the ce, as they walked past the very same Cat Street which Red Packet and Lightning were just hours ago.

    This giant market was brimming with apostles and supercats of all sorts. A look of confusion even shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s face. Seeing that there was no point in remaining invisible, Zhao Yao instructed Roly Poly to lift his power.

    ¡°I can¡¯t believe the world of supercats has already developed to this stage. I guess I¡¯ve simply spent too much time cking at home.¡±

    Zhao Yao was an exceptionally formidable apostle, but the self-sufficient nature of his power allowed him to flourish without much interaction with the apostle world. Hence, he waspletely unaware of such markets, even if it existed in his very hometown, Jiangmen City.

    Suddenly, Sphynx Cat¡¯s footsteps came to a halt right next to a shop. The storekeeper was shouting, ¡°British cat! American cat! Russian cat! Come over here and take a good look at our beautiful cats!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s jaw went ck when he noticed Sphynx Cat¡¯s behavior, ¡°I didn¡¯t know that you were interested in this.¡±

    Sphynx Cat immediately shot Zhao Yao a condescending re and responded, ¡°I¡¯m not interested, but they are. From their scent, I know that they stopped at this spot for quite some time before going there.¡±

 Chapter 436: The Questioning

    <h4>Chapter 436: The Questioning</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    ¡°Come here and take a look at our unique swimming programme!¡± A supercat announced with a stack of pamphlets bundled on its back, ¡°With the effects of our superpower enhanced training, you can turn from a tiny kitten into a giant Siberian tiger in one month¡¯s time!¡±

    Roly Poly felt an invisible force pulling him towards it. Suddenly, he felt a familiar hand wrapping its fingers around his neck before dragging him away.

    ¡°Roly Poly, I need you to concentrate.¡± Zhao Yao reminded, ¡°There is no room for failure. I need to bring those two fools back.¡± In the midst of his search, Zhao Yao was alerted to a notification in his BOOK. Instantly, a new mission had appeared across the page.

    Mission: Two terrible twos

    Objective: Locate both Lightning and Red Packet

    Reward: Locating Lightning would earn Zhao Yao 5 experience points while locating Red Packet would earn Zhao Yao 500 experience points

    Reward: Nil

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes squinted into a hard line, ¡°I must bring back Red Packet.¡±

    Roly Poly jumped to his own defense and rified, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! I wasn¡¯t looking at all those advertisements! I was just trying to behave like those two and see from their perspective. I¡¯m trying to find out where they would escape to.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, so what did you manage to find out from that?¡±

    ¡°The two of them have been acting very strangely. It¡¯s not like them to just travel hundreds of miles to this ce for nothing. There is definitely something important that we¡¯re missing. Maybe, they¡¯re hiding a secret from us! Zhao Yao, do you agree with me?¡±

    ¡°Agree my ass.¡± Zhao Yao scoffed as he sent a tight p across Roly Poly¡¯s cheeks. Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes swept past the entire market only to see Sphynx Cat stopping at another shop.

    ¡°A fur imnt technique passed down from generations to generations! Not only that, my family has been dying fur for the past 100 years! We are your one-stop solution to all fur rted problems, be it long fur, short fur, golden fur, silver fur.¡±

    Sphynx Cat was intrigued by the strands of fur carefully arranged on the table. He asked, ¡°Are these all real? Just look at this beautiful golden fur.¡±

    ¡°We supply both real and synthetic fur. However, the price will be dependent on the fur you¡¯re interested in.¡± The salescat knew at once that he had sessfully hooked Sphynx Cat. Hence, he continued to dangle the bait in Sphynx Cat¡¯s face by saying, ¡°We are having a promotion now! 40% off! Are you interested in trying it?¡±

    Suddenly, a hand swept across Sphynx Cat¡¯s eyes, intercepting the transaction, ¡°Thanks but no thanks.¡±

    Zhao Yao fixed his eyes on Sphynx Cat and reminded him, ¡°Sphynx Cat, I need you to stay focused! We are on a mission. Today¡¯s world is vastly different from the one you were used to. Danger lurks around every corner. Red Packet and Lightning have close to zerobat powers. Without us protecting them, God knows just what is going to happen to them. Every second wasted on this frivolous stuff might be the difference between life and death!¡±

    Suddenly, the focused gaze returned to Sphynx Cat¡¯s eyes as he muttered, ¡°I understand.¡±

    With their renewed focus, the trio sped down thene with Sphynx Cat¡¯s nose leading the way. A familiar scent assaulted Sphynx Cat¡¯s nostrils. At once, he knew where they were. Sphynx Cat bolted towards a van and shouted, ¡°Both their scent ended in this van!¡±

    Currently, the driver had already gone for lunch, leaving the fat cat alone inside. Slobber slung in white strings from its jaw as its eyes stared attentively at the moving images on the screen. Evidently, it was watching a live stream.

    From time to time, a sly smile would spread across those chubby cheeks as it muttered, ¡°This bunch of fools! Why would anyone donate to these broadcasters? Humans are really so stupid!¡±

    Suddenly, he felt a gust of cold air assaulting him from behind. It swept his head around to see an enraged Zhao Yao staring straight at it.

    Fear splintered its heart at the sight of this mysterious man. However, the fat cat immediately tranted his fear into annoyance as he remarked, ¡°We are closed for the day. Please go somewhere else.¡±

    However, Zhao Yao turned a deaf ear to its words. Instead, it led Sphynx Cat and Roly Poly up the van before mming the door shut.

    Immediately, the fat cat¡¯s chest tightened with fear as it retorted, ¡°What are you trying to do? I¡¯m warning you! My boss is Yellow Ass. You definitely wouldn¡¯t want to get on his wrong side.¡±

    Zhao Yao simply whipped out his phone before shing photographs of Lightning and Red Packet in his chubby face, ¡°Have you seen these two cats?¡±

    A brief moment of hesitation shed across his beady eyes. Even though the Pas¡¯s cat in the photo was coated in a body full of silky long fur, there was no way it could have possibly forgotten about those two. However, the fat cat began to shake its head violently and answered, ¡°Nope, I don¡¯t know any of them.¡±

    Sphynx Cat then whispered into Zhao Yao¡¯s ears, ¡°This guy¡¯s heartbeat just increased from 80 to 120. He is lying.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s devil-likeughter echoed down the tattered van as he reached his arm towards this fat cat. His fingers ran along his head, all the way to his butt. The fact that the cat even bothered to lie about it meant that things were not looking too optimistic.

    A violent shudder ran across the fat cat¡¯s body as it felt a snake-like presence slithering across its meaty body. With Zhao Yao¡¯s perverted smile staring at itself, the fat cat asked, ¡°What do you want from me? I told you I have never seen those cats in my life!¡±

    Just when Zhao Yao was about to continue his interrogation, a ring ringtone echoed into the surroundings. Apparently, Inspector Ho had received some information.

    Hence, Zhao Yao left the van after instructing Sphynx Cat and Roly Poly, ¡°I¡¯ll be leaving this fatty to the both of you. Ask him about Red Packet and Lightning¡¯s whereabouts. I need to answer a call.¡±

    The fat cat could finally breathe a sigh of relief. With its earnest gaze staring straight at Roly Poly, it reasoned, ¡°Come on, we are all from the same cat family. Why should we even fight against each other because of this nosy human? Isn¡¯t that right?¡±

    Sphynx Cat could not be bothered by his b*llshit. However, Roly Poly jumped on this opportunity and raced towards the fat cat before asking, ¡°Hey, do you enjoy watching live streams? Have you ever seen Roly Poly¡¯s channel?¡±

    While exining, Roly Poly had snatched the phone from his meaty paws and began to sieve through the applications on its phone.

    The fat cat felt somewhat relieved to see this fellow plump cat behaving all courteous and decided to y along with him, ¡°Nope. Normally, I prefer to watch food channels.¡±

    ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll help you subscribe to the best channel in the whole of China!¡± Roly Poly¡¯s plump paws darted across the screen before tapping on the ¡®follow¡¯ button, next to his channel. Obviously, this channel was created by him to stream his PUBG games.

    ¡°Hey, howe you have zero credits inside your ount? Come on, why don¡¯t you charge it? How can you watch streams without credits?¡±

    The fat cat¡¯s already distorted face was contorting into a frown as it exined, ¡°Please don¡¯t do this.¡±

    Roly Poly responded by shooting Sphynx Cat a nce. Immediately, the chair which the fat cat was sitting on was torn to pieces.

    ¡°I¡¯ll charge! I¡¯ll charge! I¡¯ll charge!¡±

    A few minutester, Zhao Yao returned to the van to a ridiculous scene. The fat cat was on its knees and begging, ¡°Please stop sending the rockets. Please! I have run out of money!¡±

    Roly Poly immediately reverted to his mission and asked, ¡°In that case, tell me about those two cats which you pretended to have never met.¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t tell you. I really can¡¯t. If I tell you, all of us will be dead!¡±

    Seeing his pathetic behavior, Zhao Yao bent down and snatched the phone from its hand and scoffed, ¡°How much did you charge? What? Just RMB 5,000? Did you ask him for his bank ount password? Save yourself some trouble and get him to do a bank transfer!¡±

    An ear-piercing shriek reverberated in the tiny van, ¡°No bank transfer! These are all my hard-earned money! Every single cent of it! Please empathize with me! Please don¡¯t do this to me on ount that we are fellow cats!¡±

    ¡°Sorry, but I can¡¯t empathize with you since it¡¯s not my money we¡¯re talking about.¡± With a shrug of his shoulders, Zhao Yao had ruthlessly transferred the money over, ¡°Look at it. Money cane and go in a blink of an eye. Oh, you¡¯ve reached the daily transaction cap?¡±

    The fat cat tumbled against the ground, struggling to catch its breath.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, just look at him! He¡¯s so pitiful! Can you leave him some money?¡± Roly Poly added, ¡°Why don¡¯t we invest his money in some stocks? I heard the market is doing quite well!¡±

    Bam! The fat cat felt the pain searing through its body as it pounced onto Zhao Yao¡¯s feet, ¡°No!¡±

    ¡°Or how about we invest in cryptocurrency? Roly Poly continued, ¡°I heard there are a few ICOsing up. We can turn this cat into a millionaire!¡±

    Its deafening scream continued to reverberate throughout the tiny van. For a moment, the fat cat thought that its heart had stopped beating, ¡°Alright, alright. I¡¯ll tell you where they are. Just don¡¯t touch my money!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s the Mao Gang! They are the ones responsible for your cats¡¯ disappearance.¡± Naturally, the fat cat pushed all the me away from itself to this third party, ¡°They were spotted by Mao Gang the moment they set foot in this city. I merely sent them to XX town. By now, they should already be in their hands. Just give up already.¡±

    ¡°Mao Gang?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s face turned into a scowl, ¡°What is that?¡±

    The fat cat slid Zhao Yao a condescending re as if he were a r*tard, ¡°You don¡¯t even know who they are and here you are shooting your mouth off in their territory.¡±

    Zhao Yap responded with a resounding p against its plump cheeks andmanded, ¡°Stop your bullshit and tell me everything about them.¡±

    ¡°Mao Gang is the strongest apostle organization in ¨¹r¨¹mqi, led by none other than the revered cat king of ¨¹r¨¹mqi. Your cat is as good as dead the moment they set their eyes on it.¡± A sinister smile tugged at the corner of its lips as it announced, ¡°Just give up already. There is no chance of you getting your cat back!¡±

    Instead, this managed to pique Zhao Yao¡¯s curiosity, ¡°An apostle organization in ¨¹r¨¹mqi? Interesting. Don¡¯t tell me that they specialize in kidnapping supercats?¡± Zhao Yao felt his hands squeezed into fists unknowingly. He had heard of news regarding such organizations specializing in kidnapping services but he had never expected toe head to head against them.

    Zhao Yao stared intently at the fat cat before shooting his next question, ¡°Where do they normally hide all their cats?¡±

    The fat cat eximed, ¡°Why would I know? It¡¯s their trade secret! Don¡¯t tell me that you¡¯re actually thinking of rescuing your cats. You¡¯re crazy!¡±

    Zhao Yao did not speak but simply threw his palms together into a cap. Instantly, an extradimensional belly gate materialized behind the fat cat before Zhao Yao threw it in with one kick.

    There was nothing more that Zhao Yao could get from this interrogation. Furthermore, he had no way of verifying the authenticity of that fat cat¡¯s words. Hence, he might as well throw it into the belly and dragged him out when the situation called for it.

    Roly Poly stared curiously at Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°What now, Zhao Yao? Are we going to take down that organization?¡±

    Zhao Yao gave a shake of his head, ¡°I cannot trust this catpletely. Also, it¡¯s unwise to judge your actions based on the words of a single individual. You might just end up with an innocent victim. I¡¯ll need to corroborate this information with another source.¡±

    ¡°Who?¡±

    Zhao Yao whispered, ¡°I¡¯ve already contacted Inspector Ho on the situation. Let¡¯s see what information the local government apostles managed to collect.¡±

    ...

    The fat cat stared dumbfoundedly as its vision spiraled into an abyss of darkness. In a blink of an eye, he found himself straddled in a never before seen world.

    Its mouth went ck as it attempted toprehend these strange surroundings, ¡°This is ...¡±

    Like any ordinary cat, the fat cat¡¯s instinct was to bury its body into the nearest hiding spot whenever it found itself in a new environment. With its body buried in thefortable cat bed, it began to steal a nce at its surroundings from time to time.

    ¡°Hey, is that a new cat?¡± Ares craned his neck towards this conspicuous fat cat, ¡°Stop ncing around and get your fat ass out of there.¡±

    Timidly, the fat cat raised its head towards the source of this mysterious voice. Fear continued to splinter its heart as it asked, ¡°Where is this ce? Where am I?¡±

    ¡°ording to the rules here, a neer is responsible for the cleanliness of the ce.¡± Ares instructed as he pointed his index finger towards the toilet, ¡°You can start by cleaning the toilet. Do you understand?¡±

    The fat cat¡¯s eyes swept towards the direction which Ares pointed at and was bbergasted by the atrocity staring back at it. The entire automatic self-cleaning litter box was covered with all sorts of unknown grimes and stains. In a human context, it was the equivalent of a public toilet which was left uncleaned for more than 10 days. A strong urge to vomit ran through its body.

    Immediately, the fat cat began to quiver with indignation and retorted, ¡°Why do I have to listen to you and clean it up?¡±

    ¡°Feisty neer. Are you trying to say that you do not agree with our long-established rules?¡± Ares scoffed.

    Uncle Egg shook his head and tried to reason, ¡°Young cat, calm down. Initially, you might find this treatment rather unfair but you¡¯ll start to grow used to it. After some time, you might even like it here.¡±

    Instead, its annoyance red as it screamed, ¡°D*mn it! But I¡¯m a supercat!¡±

    Uncle Egg continued to nod his head nonchntly, ¡°Just like the rest of us here.¡±

    ¡°Uncle Egg, don¡¯t waste your breath on such an adamant fool.¡± Ares threw his paws in the air as his deflective field concentrated in a single point, ¡°It will listen after a good beating.¡±

    Ten minutester, the fat cat was adorned with two giant bruises at the top of its head and two pieces of tissues stuffed up its nostrils. With its paw pressing against the cloth, it began to clean the interior of the toilet meticulously. It was whispering in its head, ¡°Who is this blind a*shole? Can¡¯t he just aim into the hole when he¡¯s peeing? Look at all these pee stains umted here!¡±

    Ares roared out his next instruction, ¡°Hey, hurry up! After this, you still have nine more litter boxes to clean!¡±

    The fat cat stared at the remaining litter boxes and felt tears welling in its eyes.

    ...

    As promised, Zhao Yao met Inspector Ho at the location which they had agreed upon. However, both Sphynx Cat and Roly Poly were by his side, while remaining invisible.

    From afar, Zhao Yao had already noticed a woman casually standing by the side of the road. Even the jeans she donned was exactly the same as the one in the photograph Inspector Ho sent.

    Objectively speaking, she was not the most beautiful women around but she did have a pair of long and slender legs. Somehow, there was this unknown strength radiating from it. To Zhao Yao, it even felt somewhat threatening. This was the exact feeling Zhao Yao had when he saw a weapon.

    ¡°An ordinary person would think that I have fallen for this pair of legs. However, I am no ordinary human. I have the strength of ¡®five is better than four¡¯, my instincts tell me that there is something unique about her legs. Her power is definitely connected to her legs.¡±

    Zhao Yao approached her with a self-introduction, ¡°Hi, I am Daniel Wu.¡±

    This girl immediately slid Zhao Yao a curious nce. Everything about Zhao Yao was ssified information, restricted to the higher-ups. Naturally, she was left out of the loop. However, she knew the significance of this individual in the higher-ups¡¯ eyes. Hence, she was instructed by her superior to co-operate as much as possible in this mission.

    However, she still felt somewhat embarrassed to hear Zhao Yao introduced himself as Daniel Wu, ¡°Hi, Daniel. Hi, I¡¯m Ye Mei. Are you here to find your two cats?¡± She continued scrutinizing Zhao Yao¡¯s ordinary appearance and found no logical reason for her superiors to regard this man with such significance.

    Zhao Yao then shed the photos of Red Packet and Lightning in her face before rifying, ¡°My two cats werest spotted in this area. I believe they might have boarded the bus towards XX town. Hence, I hope you can help me ess the security cameras on route to this ce. Also, I think their disappearance might be connected to the Mao Gang.¡±

    ¡°Mao Gang?¡± Ye Mei¡¯s expression immediately turned into a frown, ¡°Are you sure it¡¯s rted to them?¡±

    Obviously, Zhao Yao noticed the stark change in tone and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is there a problem with this Mao Gang?¡±

    ¡°Mao Gang is a local apostle organization. They are rather strong.¡± In actual fact, ¡®rather strong¡¯ would be a vast understatement. Their leader was the champion of the inaugural Urumuqi cat kingpetition. His power should not be underestimated.

    With his clout, the organisation began to earn a massive amount of money through its supercat trades. By connecting with powerful yers across the country, Mao Gang had created an borate market, meant to serve those who craved for their own supercats.

    With such a hugework, the apostles and supercats working for Mao Gang were naturally the strongest around. Their resources had been evenly split amongst their territory. Many a time, Ye Mei and fellow government apostles would even resort to asking Mao Gang for help.

    With his brows snapped together, Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Is he involved in the sale of supercats?¡±

    Ye Mei responded with a mirthlessugh. She had never expected words about them to spread so quickly, ¡°After all, they are still cats. Many people would die for this opportunity to be in possession of them.¡± Her emphasis on the words ¡®many people¡¯ clearly meant that their services were not as readily avable as most would expect.

    What Ye Mei described waspletely urate. Many people craved for the opportunity to grab hold of a supercat, but it was no easy task. Hence, Mao Gang was the answer to their problems.

    ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll bring you over to the surveince room while we look through the recordings.¡± Ye Mei was extremely careful with her choice of words, ¡°Regarding your two cats, I¡¯ll help you ask my sources within Mao Gang. If they really have your cats, I can arrange a meeting for you to buy the cats from them.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s right eyebrow shot up, ¡°Buy from them? They stole my cats and you expect me to pay for my stolen cats?¡±

    ¡°This city is dependent on Mao Gang.¡± Ye Mei lifted her shoulders in a half shrug, ¡°It¡¯s already a privilege to be able to buy your cat. However, do not worry about the price. I will talk to them personally. This price is simply a token sum for their kind gesture.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, is that so? That¡¯s great, I do hope that they will agree to this request.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s tone might sound genial however a glimmer of anger had shed past his eyes.

    Meanwhile, Roly Poly was whispering into Sphynx Cat¡¯s ears, ¡°Just take a look at Zhao Yao. He might act all friendly now but I bet he would default on the payment when that silly girl brings the cats over.¡±

    Sphynx Cat scoffed, ¡°That¡¯s just the basic. He should even jump on this opportunity to ckmail them and earn another wave of experience.¡±

    ¡°You have chosen the wrong opponent,¡± Roly Polymented with a sigh of despair, ¡°They are dead.¡±

    Red Packet and Lightning¡¯s journey began at Cat Street before ending in XX town. Even though there were close to zero security cameras situated along the route, the presence of probes littered along it provided some much-needed footage.

    With Ye Mei¡¯s help, Zhao Yao found himself inside an office with hours of footages awaiting him. Another stack of paper rested on the table, detailing the fat cat¡¯s testimony. The blind searchmenced until they saw the first sign of their target van.

    After more than two hours, they were finally done with all the footages. As the van disappeared beyond the image captured by the probe, Zhao Yao muttered with a nod of his head, ¡°That fat cat didn¡¯t lie to me. This van really went to XX town.¡±

    Suddenly, Ye Mei swung the door open and squealed, ¡°I have managed to contact the people from Mao Gang. They said they didn¡¯t have your cats.¡±

    Zhao Yao rified, ¡°Are you sure?¡±

    ¡°The probability of them lying to me is close to zero,¡± Ye Mei¡¯s eyes then swept towards the image on the screen and asked, ¡°Have you found it?¡±

    ¡°Yes, the fat cat did tell me the truth. They werest seen at XX town. Let¡¯s go over there and take a look.¡± Meanwhile, Zhao Yao was cursing in his head, ¡°D*mn it, I guess I can only rely on Sphynx Cat¡¯s nostrils.¡±

    With Ye Mei leading the way, Zhao Yao had soon reached the entrance to XX town. This spot marked the exact position where his two cats began their journey on foot. This was supposed to lead them to the grasnds.

    ...

    Meanwhile, Red Packet had already been thrown into a pristine cell, covered in snow-white paint. Instead of concrete walls, a pillow-like material was used for the construction of the cell walls. The entire ce was like a giant cat bed.

    A lopsided smile hanged across Red Packet¡¯s face as he pondered, ¡°I guess it wasn¡¯t the worst thing for them to learn about my ability. Judging from this, I guess they have decided to keep me around.¡±

    Red Packet understood that the real problem would ur when they decided to sell him. He had no idea where he would end up at from that point onwards. This search mission would then be a herculean task, even for someone like Zhao Yao.

    However, if he stayed put and continued to live with this organization, the chances of Zhao Yao finding him would increase drastically.

    ¡°D*mn it, what is going to happen to that r*tard? What if he¡¯s really sold?¡±

    While Red Packet remained immersed in his thoughts, the giant door to his cell suddenly swung open. Approaching him was a tall man, nked on both sides by at least 10 men.

    A ck windbreaker was draped over the man¡¯s shoulders. His monstrous frame loomed over Red Packet like a tiny hill. His face was hidden behind a mysterious white mask. Only his ice-cold gaze managed to peer through the mask, into the surroundings.

    ¡°Is that him?¡± This man was the leader of Mao Gang. He was widely known as Faceless, cat king of ¨¹r¨¹mqi, the emperor of the underworld.

    Faceless instructed, ¡°Xiao Liu, go up and borrow its power.¡±

    Amidst the 10 men, a teenaged boy who was at most 13 took a step forward and approached Red Packet. On a closer look, you would notice that Xiao Liu was not the only teenager around. There were at least five or six more amongst them. That same frenzied admiration was seared across all their faces. Traces of innocence and brutality flickered in their eyes.

    Even Centipede began to secretly shake his head at this scene. All these adolescents were Faceless¡¯s personal bodyguards, handpicked from the orphanage. All of them had pledged their eternal undying allegiance to Faceless, even if it meant their own deaths. They would stop at nothing to make good of their promise.

    To make matters worse, Faceless had selected a few supercats to lend their powerful yet gruesome powers to these na?ve kids. Even someone like Centipede dared not to infuriate them. After all, Centipede was still human and he feared death. However, those kids embraced death like an old friend.

    Faceless¡¯s voice echoed from behind the kids, ¡°Supercat, lend him your power. Cooperate and there will be less suffering.¡±

    Red Packet had no intentions to fight back at this juncture, hence he cooperated with Faceless and endowed the kid with his power.

    ¡°Hmph, interesting.¡± A flicker of excitement shed across his ice-cold gaze, ¡°Supercat, you are a smart one. I encouraged you to continue this behavior. If you cooperate with us, we will never hurt you.¡±

    ¡°Wild Boar, bring Xiao Liu out to test his power. Inform me the moment you see any results.¡± Faceless instructed before turning his body towards the exit. Suddenly, Red Packet¡¯s ear-splitting shrieks began to echo in his head.

    Facelessmanded calmly, ¡°Pass him a phone. I would like to hear what he has to say.¡±

    Apparently, Red Packet had proposed a special arrangement. Red Packet would continue to co-operate with them if hispanion, Lightning, was brought over to apany him.

    Faceless¡¯s cold gaze swept towards Centipede and asked, ¡°Is there another cat which came along with it?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s another furless Pas¡¯s cat.¡±

    Faceless asked, ¡°What¡¯s its ability?¡±

    ¡°Static electricity.¡±

    Faceless nodded his head and instructed, ¡°That¡¯s as good as having no abilities. In that case, bring him over.¡±

    After leaving the prison, Faceless felt a vibration in his pocket. He took a look at his phone and found a message from his subordinate. Apparently, Ye Mei and the government had started prying for information about an orange cat and Pas¡¯s cat. They were checking if Mao Gang had them.

    ¡°Kudos to them for tracking the cats all the way to myir. However, how can I possibly vomit out something I¡¯ve already eaten?¡± A devious smile began to tug at his lips. Naturally, he chose to withhold information regarding them.

    If used appropriately, the fortune cat¡¯s power would usher in a new era for Mao Gang. Their business would improve tremendously, thus increasing his sphere of influence and status in the region. He would never allow such a perfect opportunity to slip through his fingers.

    Faceless slid Centipede a nce before asking, ¡°You have done a good job. However, how many people know about these two cats?¡±

    Fear crossed his face but he still blurted out a few names. Faceless nodded his head along to the names and said, ¡°Do not worry. I¡¯m not going to kill them. However, this is a precarious time so I do not want any of you to leave the hideout. For now, just stay here.¡±

    Centipede could feel his heart pounding against his chest, ¡°How about the king of the Pas¡¯s cat and the auction ...¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll get someone else to handle it.¡±

    The uing auction was the number one priority on Mao Gang¡¯s agenda. On the other hand, the fate of the king of the Pas¡¯s cat is greatly intertwined with the sess of the auction. However, Faceless could easily get someone to rece Centipede. After all, he was not the only one responsible for these operations.

    ¡°Ah! Red Packet!¡±

    Lightning sprinted at top speed beforetching himself onto Red Packet¡¯s leg. A deafening scream echoed throughout the room, ¡°Red Packet! I thought I would never get to see you again!¡±

    Red Packet slid him a disdainful re as he shoved that useless cat away, ¡°Alright, I get it. I need some personal space! And stop drowning me in all your saliva!¡±

    However, Lightning had no time for Red Packet¡¯s trivial concerns as he retorted, ¡°What are we supposed to do now? Red Packet, do you have a method to get us out of here?¡±

    ¡°We can¡¯t. Are you blind? Can¡¯t you see how secure this ce is? Just look at all these security cameras surrounding us.¡± Red Packet then tilted his head upwards and pointed at the cor secured around his neck, ¡°And there¡¯s still this.¡±

    Lightning let out a sigh of despair before asking, ¡°What are we supposed to do then?¡±

    At this moment, a crisp voice reverberated through their cell, ¡°This orange cat is correct. I am encouraging you to give up the idea of trying to escape this ce.¡±

    In unison, both Red Packet and Lightning swept their head back only to see a Pas¡¯s cat standing by the entrance. They didn¡¯t even know it was there all these time. It was simply staring at them through that tiny window.

    This was the exact Pas¡¯s cat, Sandstorm, which was by Centipede¡¯s side during their capture.

    ¡°You again?¡± Lightning roared, ¡°Why are you here?¡±

    Sandstorm¡¯s monotonous voice contrasted with Lightning¡¯s emotional roar, ¡°I just came here to take a look and see how you¡¯re coping. After all, it¡¯s not thatmon to see an awakened Pas¡¯s cat.¡±

    Lightning could feel the pulse mming in his neck as Sandstorm continued to stare at them with a look of haughty disdain, ¡°Aren¡¯t you a Pas¡¯s cat? Why are you helping them in the first ce?¡±

    ¡°He is a cat traitor! A renegade!¡± A high-frequency scream echoed down the hallway. A female Pas¡¯s cat squeezed her tiny head out of the even tinier window as she eximed with all her might, ¡°Sandstorm! You are a disgrace to all Pas¡¯s cats! How could you capture our own kind again?¡±

    ¡°This cat¡¯s voice sounds so good.¡± Lightning muttered. Suddenly, a glimmer shed across his eyes as he eximed, ¡°Are you also a Pas¡¯s cat? Were you captured by this scoundrel as well?¡±

    In response, the female Pas¡¯s cat shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid! Calm down! Our king wille for us and rescue us!¡±

    His eyes glinted with malice as heughed maniacally, ¡°Neoma, are you still pinning your hopes on the stupid king to save us all? I¡¯m sure he wille. But it¡¯s because we captured him!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s impossible!¡± The Pas¡¯s cat referred to as Neoma retorted, ¡°Our king will definitelye for us. He will be the super Pas¡¯s cat and destroy every single one of you. He will then lead all the Pas¡¯s cat to our home, the grasnds!¡±

    Sandstorm scoffed, ¡°R*tard. Even a three-year-old would know to not pin their hopes on some stupid legend.¡±

    To a Pas¡¯s cat which had spent his entire life in captivity, Neoma¡¯s words were groundbreaking news, ¡°What is a super Pas¡¯s cat?¡±

    Tears began to well up in Neoma¡¯s eyes as her voice trembled with admiration, ¡°This story has been passed down from generations to generations. A super Pas¡¯s cat will be born once in every 1000 years. Hemands the strongest power in the whole of the universe.¡±

    Immediately, a thought popped up in Lightning¡¯s head, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that I am the legendary supercat?¡±

    Sandstorm attempted to dash her hopes with another sneer, ¡°You have only been awakened for at most one year. How can a 1000 years old legend even exist?¡±

    Red Packet was left speechless by their frivolous squabbles. With his superior intelligence, he could not even be bothered by their simple-minded theories, ¡°These three fes, did they not watch Dragon Ball? I¡¯m sure their so-called king has watched it.¡±

    Brimming with excitement, Lightning rified, ¡°How does one be the super Pas¡¯s cat? I have a feeling that I might be the one.¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, the duo of Zhao Yao and Ye Mei had arrived at XX town, with the invisible Sphynx Cat and Roly Poly apanying them. Soon, Sphynx Cat had detected the familiar scent of Red Packet and Lightning.

    ¡°I recognize this smell. Come, follow me.¡±

    With Roly Poly slung across his back, Sphynx Cat had disappeared towards te horizons in the blink of an eye.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes twinkled with excitement as he quickly followed behind, leaving Ye Mei in a state of confusion, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Even though she had no idea what Sphynx Cat told Zhao Yao, she could clearly see Zhao Yao running in a certain direction. Hence, she could only follow quickly behind.

    Finally, Zhao Yao had a taste of Ye Mei¡¯s power. Every step she took produced a force sorge that a mini sandstorm was left behind. It was inhuman. Evidently, her legs possessed strength which no ordinary human could possibly achieve. She was literally as fast as a horse.

    ¡°Interesting power. I wonder if there¡¯s any more power hidden up her sleeves.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes continued to examine her seemingly ordinary legs. He was clueless that he too was under Ye Mei¡¯s scrutiny, ¡°At my current speed, I am almost as fast as a motorcycle. I can¡¯t believe I only manage to catch up with him at this speed. What is his power?¡±

    Zhao Yao exined, ¡°I detected their scent in the air. They have been here before and have disappeared in that direction.¡± Every step he took was propelled by the effects of his deflective field. The force created drove him forward, hence allowing him to keep up with Sphynx Cat¡¯s insane speed.

    Given their astounding speed, the duo sped through the vast ins and had soon reached the point where Red Packet and Lightning had stopped at.

    Suddenly, Sphynx Cat stopped next to a bottle before taking in a deep breath, ¡°This is definitely left behind by them.¡±

    Zhao Yao then repeated Sphynx Cat¡¯s words to Ye Mei.

    This baffling scene left Ye Mei all confused as she pondered, ¡°The power of super smell? Don¡¯t tell me that he actually possesses two power?¡±

    After speeding through another 300 meters, Sphynx cat came to another abrupt stop as he muttered, ¡°They stopped here again. No, that¡¯s not it. They met someone. It was more than one person. There were cats around as well. After that ...¡± Sphynx Cat¡¯s eyes began to scrutinize the tire pattern printed on the sand before saying, ¡°They were taken away.¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s jaw went ck as he asked, ¡°They managed to meet someone in this secluded ce? Don¡¯t tell me some kind-hearted person actually offered them a ride?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid that is not the case.¡± With a mirthlessugh, Sphynx Cat gave a gentle swipe of his hand, causing the fine sand to spiral into the air, revealing the expended cartridges, ¡°Cartridges left behind by a tranquilizer gun. I guess they were taken away against their will.¡±

    The worst possible oue was confirmed before his eyes. With his brows furrowed together, Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Sphynx Cat, can you continue to trace the cat¡¯s scent?¡±

    Sphynx Cat¡¯s eyes darted towards the horizons as he exined, ¡°I¡¯m not confident. After all, the wind here is extremely strong and the car¡¯s scent is not particrly unique. I¡¯m afraid even I cannot pick up any trace of it.¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao had already regurgitated everything which Sphynx cat had exined to him, ¡°... hence my two cats were taken away against their will.¡±

    Ye Mei asked, ¡°So you suspect Mao Gang is responsible for their disappearance?¡±

    ¡°Possibly. After all, they are the only suspects up till now. I would like to meet the leader of Mao Gang. Could you kindly arrange a meeting for me?¡± While making the request, Zhao Yao had already called for Roly Poly to cast his power on a specific area for him to set up the extradimensional belly gate.

    ¡°Matcha, Elizabeth, Ares. I want the three of you to apany Sphynx Cat and Roly Poly as they continue their search for Red Packet and Lightning. Dust Ball, I want you to follow them. If there¡¯s any problem, just return to the belly. Even if you manage to catch up to them, I don¡¯t want you to act on your own. Wait for me, I¡¯lle over through the gates.¡±

    Zhao Yao had already decided on this two-pronged approach. On one end, the supercats would continue the pursuit while he took the issue up to the leadership of Mao Gang.

    Immediately, Matcha, Elizabeth, Dust Ball, Ares appeared out of the gate.

    With a tiny g waving in his paw, Matcha announced, ¡°Everyone, look over here! This direction, please! I know all of you are extremely excited to be here but I still require your co-operation to make this a safe and smooth trip. Remember to keep an eye out for this g. Do not wander off on your own. Remember to keep your valuables with you at all times.

    Report to me if you need a toilet break. Ares! Retract your deflective field! I don¡¯t want you to go around and destroy all these attractions!

    Dust Ball, who gave you permission to pee wherever you want? We are civilized beings! Do you understand? We should leave the ce cleaner and tidier than we first came. I don¡¯t want to see anyone littering, do I make myself clear?¡±

    Old Cat eximed, ¡°She is intoxicated!¡±

    Zhao Yao was fuming with anger, ¡°Who gave her the catmint? I thought she had already kicked her addiction?¡±

    With a body full of silky long fur, Elizabethined, ¡°Why is it so hot? Where is my water? I thought we wereing to the grasnds? I don¡¯t even see a single inch of grass! This is disgusting!¡±

    Beaming with excitement, Matcha walked towards Zhao Yao with the g waving in his hand as he assured him, ¡°Zhao Yao, do not worry. With me in charge, nothing will go wrong. I assure you that everyone will have a fantastic time here!¡±

    Hearing Matcha¡¯s ¡®reassuring words¡¯, Zhao Yao simply responded with a flick on his nose. Matcha instantly copsed to the ground as he pped his paw over his mouth with tears shimmering in his eyes.

    Zhao Yao seethed with anger as he scolded, ¡°Who told you that we¡¯re out here on a holiday? Listen to Sphynx Cat¡¯s instructions and look for Lightning and Red Packet. Even if you managed to find them, I do not want you to act alone. Wait for me. Understand?¡±

    With his body throbbing in pain, Matcha nodded his head and responded, ¡°Yes, I understand.¡±

    Seeing Zhao Yao and Ye Mei¡¯s bodies disappearing beyond the horizons, Matcha could finally let out a sigh of despair as he muttered, ¡°What an unpredictable man. You never know what is going through his head.¡±

    Old Cat would never miss on an opportunity to feed Matcha¡¯s ego, ¡°Sir George, now that Zhao Yao is gone. Youmand absolute authority over every single cat here. Zhao Yao is wise to ce his confidence in you. Why not you use this opportunity to win the hearts of the cats here?¡±

    ¡°Hmph, you are truly a dependable and wise subordinate.¡± Matcha nodded with a gleefully smile stretched across his face. As he turned his head around, his brain immediately exploded with fury, ¡°What are you doing? Put that mountain down! Right now! Sphynx Cat, are you crazy? Ares, stop him!¡±

    Actually, Ares was the one instructing Sphynx Cat to do so. With Sphynx Cat¡¯s muscles and Ares¡¯s deflective field, they had effortlessly lifted a giant mass of rock in the air. This was the canvas for an intricate sculpture of Ares.

    Ares lifted his shoulders in a half shrug as hemented nonchntly, ¡°I want a statue of myself erected here. If not, how would others learn that I¡¯ve been here before?¡± With that, he turned his head around and continued rying instructions to Sphynx Cat, ¡°Sphynx Cat, shave a little bit off the front. Make me look as majestic as the Sphinx.¡±

    ¡°Ah!¡± Matcha¡¯s entire head copsed into his chest as he retorted, ¡°Why can¡¯t you just do the same thing as any other cats? Just mark this ce with your pee!¡± Matcha then pointed his finger at a distance before shouting, ¡°Look! Just copy what Mango is doing!¡±

    ¡°Wait?¡± Matcha was on the brink of despair as a thought struck him, ¡°What is Mango doing here? Who brought Mango here in the first ce? What am I supposed to do if he causes some biochemical pollution?¡±

    With her face glued to the phone¡¯s screen, Elizabethmented, ¡°All the toilets back at the apartment are overflowing with shit and no one is responsible enough to clear it now that Zhao Yao is here. Hence, I can only allow Mango to relieve here. I¡¯m sure you would rather he pee here than in the living room.¡±

    At this moment, Dust Ball suddenly jumped to her feet before vomiting a lump of objects. Matcha was on the verge of fainting as he instructed, ¡°Can someone please take care of Dust Ball? Just how much catmint did she take? Why is she still vomiting?¡±

    While Matcha was busy rying his instructions, Dust Ball had let out another deafening shriek. This was bad. It wasn¡¯t just this morning¡¯s breakfast. Amidst the half-digested food were Gaia, F¨±jin, Rice Cake, Diana, and Caesar with some of her vomit caught in their fur.

    After vomiting for what seemed like an eternity, a faint smile finally appeared on Dust Ball¡¯s face as she immediately copsed on the ground, soundly asleep.

    Matcha¡¯s jaws went ck as he watched this ridiculous scene happened before his eyes. He could hardly believe what he saw as he muttered, ¡°D*mn it! Did she just release every single cat from the belly? Are you kidding? Zhao Yao would kill me if he learns of this!¡± He immediately pounced on top of Dust Ball before sinking his teeth into her tiny neck. With his teeth embedded in her neck, he began to shake furiously as he eximed, ¡°Wake up! Dust Ball, wake up! Bring them back immediately!¡±

    However, all Matcha heard was Dust Ball¡¯s resounding snore echoing in his ears. Evidently, she showed zero signs of waking up anytime soon.

    The supercats which suddenly found themselves in this foreignnd started to wander off in all directions as they tried to get rid of the filth from their fur.

    Somehow, even the fat cat was released from the belly. Immediately, a glimmer shed across his eyes as he recognized the scene before him. Mustering every ounce of strength in his body, he began his escape.

    However, his escapested for a mere 10 meters. Immediately, an orange shadow shed across his eyes before a powerful p mmed him into the ground.

    ¡°I want you to stay here and wait obediently.¡± Matcha said as he raised his paws skywards. Matcha¡¯s razor-sharp ws stared menacingly into the fat cat¡¯s eyes as he threatened, ¡°If you ever try to escape again, I might have to test my ws against you.¡±

    Immediately, the fat cat copsed to his knees as a flurry of tears streamed down his cheeks, ¡°You guys should be looking for Mao Gang instead of me!¡±

    Amidst his bawling, a resounding roar echoed in all directions. The intensity of the roar even shook the very ground they were standing on. The fat cat immediately swept his head around with the color drained from his face, ¡°What the hell is going on?¡±

    What he sawpletely confounded him. Sphynx cat simply lifted a 25 meters rock off the ground, as if it were a pebble, before tossing it in a corner.

    Initially, the fat cat¡¯s lips were only slightly parted. After some time, he finally realized what Sphynx cat was doing. Bit by bit, a towering sculpture of Ares had started taking shape. By then, the fat cat¡¯s jaw was only inches away from the ground.

    Just when Matcha thought that he could finally take a breather, a frantic voice began to echo in the air, ¡°Sir George! You have to stop the Roly Rebellion! He is divulging our secrets!¡±

    ¡°Roly Rebellion?¡± In a blink of an eye, Matcha had appeared directly behind Roly Poly, with his eyes glued to the message Roly Poly had crafted. He watched as the treachery urred right before his eyes with Roly Poly¡¯s finger hovering over the send button.

    ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! It is a disaster. Matcha had identally released all the cats from the belly. He even ...¡±

    Bam! With one swipe, Matcha had dislodged the phone from Roly Poly¡¯s paws as his thunderous voice echoed in his ears, ¡°A Roly Rebellion? How dare you backstab me?¡±

    Nonchntly, Roly Poly began to groom himself before replying in a condescending tone, ¡°Prince Matcha, I¡¯ll never have the audacity to backstab you. What I¡¯m doing is simply informing Master Zhao Yao about the situation to pre-empt him. Wouldn¡¯t it be worse if he only hears about it when it is all toote?¡±

    Matcha¡¯s eyes began to squint into a hard line as he scoffed, ¡°Thanks for your consideration but I can manage the situation on my own. Take this as a warning, the next time I catch you doing this behind my back, you will never be able to recognize your own face when you look in the mirror.¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao was naturally clueless about the chaotic situation on the cat¡¯s side. Currently, both Ye Mei and Zhao Yao were making their way towards the leader of Mao Gang.

    A thought urred in Ye Mei¡¯s head, ¡°Mao Gang will never lie to me.¡± She continued to insist on their innocence as she exined, ¡°I¡¯m sure Mao Gang is not responsible for your cat¡¯s disappearance. There must be some sort of misunderstanding somewhere. After all, there are organizations other than Mao Gang who make a living by kidnapping supercats. If you insist, I don¡¯t mind apanying you to meet Faceless. Do not worry, we¡¯ll definitely get your cats back.¡±

    After all, Faceless was no outsider. He used to be their ally.

    Just like Yue Shan who appeared in Jiangmen City cat kingpetition, most of the apostles who snagged the coveted championship trophies were government apostles. Ultimately, thepetition was simply a tool for the government to manage the world of superpower. The current leader of Mao Gang, Faceless, was actually Ye Mei¡¯s predecessor.

    Hence, Ye Mei would never doubt a single wording from them. Furthermore, Mao Gang had always adhered to the rules and regtions based on what she had seen. Even when it came to supercat trafficking, they would never do anything that crossed the line.

    For example, they would hand over all supercats with extremely strong superpowers over to the government. If the owners of these supercats came knocking on Ye Mei¡¯s door asking for them, Mao Gang would acquiesce with a token fee.

    With the establishment of Mao Gang, some sort of order had finally been instilled in this chaotic world of superpower. Apostles dared not to do anything stupid, hence greatly improving the province¡¯s public security. Consequently, Ye Mei¡¯s workload was reduced significantly.

    From Ye Mei¡¯s tone, Zhao Yao had an inkling of their unorthodox rtionship. He simply nodded his head and replied, ¡°I¡¯ll be grateful for a meeting with him. All I want is for my cats to return by my side, regardless of how much money it takes.¡± With that, Zhao Yap¡¯s lips curled into a wide grin. However, this mysterious grin somehow managed to send shivers running down Ye Mei¡¯s spine.

    ¡°Just rx! It¡¯s not that bad even if they are really captured by Mao Gao. After all, I have visited their bases quite a few times.

    Mao Gang takes extra good care of all the supercats that they have captured. The hospitality which they provide is truly divine. Actually, you can just treat this as a shelter for the supercats. I mean their main objective is to find these supercats a new, dependable owner. If their powers are too tricky for an ordinary apostle to handle, they¡¯ll simply hand it over to us.

    I¡¯m 100% sure that your cats are enjoying every second spent in their base. I promise you, there won¡¯t be a single problem. However, we are still dealing with supercats, hence it is inevitable for them to collect some sort ofmission if they hand it over to us.¡±

    Obviously, Ye Mei was clueless about all the ndestine dealings Mao Gang had done behind her back. In reality, Mao Gang had already gradually slipped from the government¡¯s tight grasp, making thempletely uncontroble.

    This was only possible because of the abundance of supercats strewn all across the world. Consequently, the government had to dilute their resources by dispatching their personnel all over the nation. This provided Mao Gang the golden opportunity to wreak havoc right under their noses.

    The rapid expansion of the organization only managed to fed their leader, Faceless¡¯s, hunger for greater domination. He only wanted one thing ¨C to eventually rule over the entire world.

    Zhao Yao could only nod his head to Y Mei¡¯s resolute tone, ¡°I really do hope that this is the truth.¡±

    Ye Mei¡¯s eyes swerved towards her phone as shemented, ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ve already booked a meeting with them at the city center.¡±

    This was the most opulent restaurant one could possibly imagine. Sat next to the most luxurious table was Faceless who was carefully dissecting the b of cote de boeuf before him.

    The surrounding tables were all empty. Instead of customers, the restaurant was upied by 20 odd bodyguards, carefully positioned around Faceless. All of them were easily as big as Shaquille O¡¯Neal. Evidently, Faceless had booked the entire restaurant. However, that wasn¡¯t his onlyyer of defense. Carefully stashed in the corners were his personal apostle guards.

    After all, this apostle army was supposed to be a secret. Other than the core members of Mao Gang, all those who had learned about the army¡¯s existence had been sent to the afterlife.

    Another chunk of premium meat slid down Faceless¡¯s throat as he experienced the explosion of vors dancing down his tongue. A contented glee crept up his face. Suddenly, a bodyguard approached him discreetly before whispering something into his ears, ¡°Boss, Ye Mei, and her friend have arrived.¡±

    There was no change to Faceless¡¯s expression as he replied, ¡°Let them in.¡±

    Currently, Ye Mei and Zhao Yao found themselves at the magnificent entrance leading into the restaurant. Ye Mei instructed, ¡°Just keep your mouth shut as much as possible. I will do the talking. Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll get your cats back.¡±

    Zhao Yao responded with a shrug of his shoulders.

    Two tuxedo-d bodyguards emerged from the huge doors before escorting them in. Ye Mei¡¯s lips immediately curled into a huge grin as she approached Faceless, ¡°Boss Wu, I¡¯m so sorry for troubling you over such a small matter. My friend here lost his two cats and we tracked them all the way to XX Gobi desert. Can you help me ask around and check? Maybe, one of your subordinates identally caught them? Or maybe a pesky thief might be lurking around, stealing cats from your territory!¡±

    ¡°Oh,¡± Faceless¡¯s piercing eyes began to scrutinize Zhao Yao as he spoke, ¡°Take a seat. We have a renowned French chef with us today. This beef is splendid. Would you like one?¡±

    Ye Mei immediately forced Zhao Yao¡¯s rigid body into the seat and responded, ¡°Thank you so much but we have already eaten. As for the two supercats ...¡±

    ¡°Ah Huang!¡± Faceless¡¯s thunderous voice bellowed. A muscr man dashed towards Faceless as he delivered his instructions, ¡°I want you to follow up on this matter. If the cats are really with us, I want them to be returned to their rightful owner.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Faceless¡¯s eyes twinkled with kindness as he exined, ¡°Do not worry. I will definitely return your cats to you if my men had identally captured them.¡±

    Seeing that she hadpleted her job, Ye Mei began to nod her head and replied, ¡°In that case, we won¡¯t be bothering you any longer.¡± She immediately sprang to her feet before dragging Zhao Yao out of the chair.

    Throughout their conversation, Faceless did not mention a single word about those two cats¡¯ information. Furthermore, he was extremely co-operative and amodative towards their requests. He seemed like he was on their side.

    However, Zhao Yao did not leave despite Ye Mei¡¯s tugging. Instead, he was staring nkly at Faceless, with his attention fixed on that captivating punctuation mark, ¡°Hey, do you feel restless recently? Is there anything that I can help you with?¡±

    The smile copsed from Faceless¡¯s face. Ye Mei immediately grabbed Zhao Yao by his cor before whispering into his ears, ¡°What the hell are you trying to do?¡±

    Instantly, Faceless suppressed the frustration spiraling through his body and mustered a polite smile on his lips, ¡°Oh, I didn¡¯t know that you are trained in the long lost art of physiognomy. However, I¡¯m in the pink of health. Nothing bothers me.¡±

    ¡°Really? Are you sure there¡¯s nothing troubling you? Are you sure you don¡¯t need my help?¡± Zhao Yao was not one to give up after spotting that coveted golden exmation mark, ¡°I know that you need my help. Are you bothered by an arch-nemesis? Is there a powerful opponent that you just can¡¯t ovee? Do you need my protection? Or maybe you¡¯ve met a god-like supercat that you just cannot capture? Talk to me! I¡¯m the most helpful person that you will ever meet!¡±

    Zhao Yao then took a few steps forward before mming his palm on Faceless¡¯ shoulder, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. With me around, no one will dare toy a finger on you.¡±

    Before his fingers even made contact with Faceless, he felt a wave of hostile energy sweeping towards him from all directions. The wrath was palpable. They were like des slicing through his skin. He only managed to detect this anger with the help of ¡®five is better than four¡¯.

    However, the hostility immediately vanished following Faceless¡¯s wave of his arm. Instead, he forced a smile on his face and replied, ¡°I¡¯m sorry but I¡¯m not interested in any more protection. I mean I have more than enough bodyguards already. As for everything else, I think I can cope on my own.¡±

    In his head, Faceless was pondering, ¡°Is this guy ... threatening me? Is he trying to tell me that he can take me out right here right now?¡±

    Suddenly, the golden exmation mark began to slowly vanish into thin air. Zhao Yao¡¯s brows immediately locked together as he thought, ¡°What? I didn¡¯t know that such a mechanism actually existed.¡±

    ¡°What the hell are you trying to say?¡± Ye Mei rushed forward and pulled Zhao Yao away.

    Once again, there was no change to Faceless¡¯s expression. The same cordial smile stretched across his face as he muttered, ¡°I appreciate your friend¡¯s kind gestures. However, I do not need his help. I believe I have the ability to settle my problems on my own.¡±

    Zhao Yao felt his heart breaking into two as his adored golden exmation mark slipped through his fingers, ¡°Boss Wu! Remember to contact me if you find yourself in any sorts of trouble. I¡¯ll be there for you!¡±

    Faceless beamed as he watched that mysterious pair disappeared behind the pair of giant doors. Immediately, the smile dissipated as he threw his hands in the air, tossing the tables and utensils along with it.

    ¡°Protect me?¡± To Faceless, Zhao Yao¡¯s words were tant threats. He contemted, ¡°What is he trying to achieve by threatening me? Is it because of those two cats? No, I am sure that no one had leaked the information regarding them. Is he trying to taunt me?¡±

    With this thought in his head, a glimmer of anger had already shed across his eyes, ¡°Hmph, I guess he¡¯s just another arrogant fool. He might have some connections but that is not enough against me. Who does he think he is? He is still too young, too na?ve.¡±

    In Faceless¡¯s eyes, Zhao Yao¡¯s behavior waspletely brazen, bordering on insane. With Mao Gang¡¯s influence, no one could possibly take him down, let along this bold young man here.

    <h4>Chapter 442: The Lesson</h4>

    A diminutive figure sprang up from nowhere, behind Faceless. She was a young girl, at most 11 years old. Excitement raced through her as a huge smile tore across her face, ¡°Boss, I¡¯m sure that guy knows about those two cats¡¯ abilities! Allow me to get rid of this impudent man!¡±

    Red Packet¡¯s ability was one of the strongest Faceless had ever met. It was as good as an express ticket to instant power and fame.

    Faceless thought that Red Packet too was Zhao Yao¡¯s crown jewel. Now that he had sessfully snatched this precious cat away from Zhao Yao, Faceless had no intentions of divulging any information regarding their existence.

    ¡°We have hidden our abilities too well. This is why a fool like him dares to spout such nonsense in my face.¡± Faceless uttered with a shook of his head, ¡°But I need you to stay calm. There is more than meets the eyes. If not, he wouldn¡¯t have acted so brazenly. I want you to conduct a through investigation on his background. I¡¯m curious to find out his true identity.¡±

    Under the guise as a trader, Mao Gang had secretly developed into a formidable force, right under the government¡¯s nose.

    With every supercat added to his arsenal, the raging me within Faceless only grew stronger and stronger. This was especially true after receiving Red Packet. He was blinded by his hunger for more, much more than one could possibly imagine.

    ...

    Returning to the empty street, Ye Mei immediately cocked her head towards Zhao Yao and reassured him, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. With Mao Gang¡¯s influence, we can definitely find your cats.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head, albeit hisck of faith. In his eyes, the short encounter had proved to him that Faceless was no ally. The viciousness emanating from Faceless felt so palpable. It was unmistakable.

    Under the pretext of returning to his hotel for a rest, Zhao Yao managed to leave Ye Mei¡¯s sight. Now that he was alone, he could finally start his mission ¨C to monitor Faceless¡¯s actions secretly.

    Ye Mei also pounced on this opportunity to contact her superior, ¡°Hey, Old Wei, I just sent Zhao Yao back to his hotel, but what is up with this guy? Tell me everything that you know about him.¡±

    ¡°Do not concern yourself with his background. Just do as I say and help him locate his cats. That¡¯s all.¡±

    ¡°Alright, alright, alright! I know.¡± Ye Mei gave a roll of her eyes as a flurry of thoughts shed through her head, ¡°I bet he is the son of some politically influential man, which exins why he is so obnoxious. For my sake, I should just prevent him from meeting Mao Gang anymore. It will be disastrous if his exasperating antics annoyed them.¡±

    Since leaving Ye Mei, Zhao Yao had instantly returned to his extradimensional belly. He intended to use his extradimensional gate for his reconnaissance mission. After all, the decision to reveal the gateid in his hands. He could simply keep it invisible while he monitored them furtively.

    However, his brows instantly locked together the moment he set foot in the extradimensional belly, ¡°These fools ... where have they all gone to?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s voice bellowed, ¡°Dust Ball, where are they?¡±

    ¡°Dust Ball? Dust Ball!¡±

    A moment of silence ensued.

    One by one, veins began to pop up all over his forehead. Zhao Yao whipped out his phone and began to call them up, only to realize that there was no signal. From the looks of it, all of them had disappeared into the depths of the desert, which exined theck of signal.

    Instinctively, Zhao Yao let out a sigh of regret. With Sphynx Cat, Matcha, Elizabeth and Dust Ball around, he did not have to worry about their safety. With theirbined strength, even the original Muscle Society or thepetitors from Cat King Competition could not hold a candle to them.

    His only fear was for the others¡¯ safety.

    ¡°When can I ever begin to trust them? I guess I can never let them out alone on any group missions.¡± With the thought lingering in his head, Zhao Yao began to draw an imaginary line in the air before tearing it open with his monstrous strength. He could detect the distant exit appearing out of the thin air. It was Dust Ball¡¯s mouth.

    As his arms slowly tore the imaginary line open, a beautiful vista began to materialize before his eyes.

    ...

    After leading this team of un-cooperative cats for just a few hours, the physical effects began to take its toll on Matcha.

    He noticed a glimmer in the corner of his eyes and he immediately swept his head towards the family of ragdolls and screamed, ¡°Be careful! Don¡¯t get caught in that fire!¡±

    Elizabeth¡¯s family came prepared for this impromptu ¡®field trip¡¯. The tiny backpack slung over Diana¡¯s shoulders was overflowing with bs of beef, bottles of catmint, yogurt, honey and even shrimp paste! They were ready for a feast.

    A smile began to dance on Ares¡¯s lips as he saw the sumptuous foodid out before him. He turned towards Sphynx Cat and asked, ¡°Could you catch something for me to barbeque?¡±

    A gentle smile tugged at Sphynx Cat¡¯s lips as he replied, ¡°Ares, wait for me. I¡¯ll be back immediately.¡±

    In the blink of an eye, Sphynx Cat¡¯s chiseled body had disappeared beyond the horizons. His speed was preposterous. A few minutester, a mini sandstorm erupted from the horizons as it dashed towards Ares. The ¡®sandstorm¡¯ was actually Sphynx Cat with a snake in his mouth.

    Exultation surged through Ares as he screamed, ¡°Snake meat? I love it!¡±

    However, this caught Diana and Catherine by surprised as they started to scream at the top of their voice, ¡°Ah! It¡¯s a snake!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s disgusting! Take it away! Now!¡±

    Meanwhile, F¨±jin, Rakshasa, Airne and some other cats were relishing in this perfect yground.

    The two inte addicts, Gaia and Rice Cake, began to run around Matcha in circles as they protested, ¡°We want to go back! We want our inte!¡±

    The non-stop running had turned Matcha all queasy as he replied, ¡°Alright, alright. I¡¯ll bring you back the moment Dust Ball wakes up!¡±

    He then focused his attention on the supercats which were running all over the ce and screamed, ¡°Alright, stop what you are doing for a moment! Get ready to move forward!¡±

    Under Sphynx Cat¡¯s lead, this group of incongruent cats had trekked quite some distance before Elizabeth insisted on a break.

    However, Matcha¡¯s proposal to continue their journey was met with an inundation of protests.

    ¡°All of them are distracted. How can I possibly lead them to the objective?¡± Matcha observed those cats which werepletely oblivious to his instructions and could only focused on their individual enjoyment. At this moment, a searing pain began to tear through his chest, ¡°This bunch of good-for-nothings. I can¡¯t imagine how much Zhao Yao has to endure on a daily basis.¡±

    While Matcha was fixed in his own thoughts, Dust Ball, who remained fast asleep, began to vibrate gently. Then, the vibration grew more violent. Suddenly, his lips started to part as Zhao Yao wed his way out of it.

    ¡°What are all of you doing out here? Who gave you permission to cause a ruckus! All of you,e here! Now!¡¯

    Zhao Yao¡¯s thunderous bellow was phenomenal. Immediately, the supercats gathered at his feet and stood inpletely organized lines.

    ¡°Did I bring all of you out for a holiday? Your friend, yourpanion, Red Packet has been kidnapped! God knows what kind of hellish treatment he is undergoing right now! Oh yes, Lightning was kidnapped along with him! Meanwhile, you guys still have the mood to fool around in this ce?¡±

    ¡°All of you, focus on your mission! Find them!¡± With that, Zhao Yao tossed an illusion-enhanced cor toward Matcha before instructing the cats, ¡°This cor is as powerful as me. Matcha, if any of them refuses to co-operate with you, simply seal their five senses. Do you understand?¡±

    The remaining supercats began to tremble in fear as they nodded their heads. The only visible smile was hanging on Matcha¡¯s lips as he pranced around in delight.

    Zhao Yao roared, ¡°Have you forgotten how to open your mouth?¡±

    The cats screamed in unison, ¡°Yes, we understand!¡±

    Zhao Yao could finally return to the city and continue his reconnaissance mission. With Sphynx Cat¡¯s nose leading the way, the group of supercats continued their journey as they drew closer and closer to Red Packet.

    ...

    Red Packet and Lightning remained stuck in their cell. However, their captors began to treat them very differently. They became so friendly and kind. Actually, Faceless had experimented with Red Packet¡¯s power and it was a sess!

    Suddenly, the door to their cells swung open as two female Persian cats pranced towards them. Lightning watched as a trickle of saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth.

    However, this was only the appetizer. More and more female cats started streaming in. Each cat was sexier than the one before. There were English, French, American and even Russian cats. Furthermore, they were all supercats. They began to charm them with their seductive smiles as they danced in circles.

    Red Packet drew in a long breath and muttered, ¡°An eight-nation alliance? They are enemies. They are enemies.¡± Red Packet began tomunicate with Lightning telepathically, ¡°This is a trap. Do not fall for it.¡±

    However, he swept his head around to the sight of Lightning cradling the female cats in his paws. Lightning boasted, ¡°Do not be fooled by my appearance. Back in Jiangmen City, even the cat kings have to call me Lightning Boss.¡±

    ¡°Why did I shave my fur? I¡¯m sorry but you do not understand fashion. I was featured on GQ multiple times. GQ¡¯s boss is my close friend. If you aspire to be a model, I will be your best friend.¡±

    Red Packet watched as Lightning charmed those ignorant fools with his silver tongue. Suddenly, he recalled all the female cats which Lightning had brought back to the apartment.

    ¡°This guy. A moment ago, he was a coward. Suddenly, he had turned into a catsanova.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 443: The Perfect Surveince</h4>

    With his adept control over the extradimensional gates, Zhao Yao had transported himself back to the restaurant in no time. The whole process waspleted while he remained invisible.

    ¡°Matcha and the rest will continue the pursuit of the kidnappers. Meanwhile, I shall just stalk this guy here.¡±

    However, Faceless¡¯s schedule was packed with those seemingly innocuous meetings. Hence, the next few hours felt like forever as Zhao Yao watched Faceless chatting with some of the richest men of China. This was definitely not Zhao Yao¡¯s cup of tea.

    However, he had already assigned the cats to track the trail left behind in the desert. Hence, he could only endure the stifling boredom and continued with his surveince.

    However, Faceless knew that something was amiss as a tingling sensation ran down his arm. He immediately swept his head around as he exited the giant doors of the opulent restaurant, but he saw nothing. Obviously, he couldn¡¯t see the invisible Zhao Yao.

    A glimmer of confusion shed across his eyes as he mumbled, ¡°What is happening? Why do I feel as if someone was watching me?¡±

    ...

    In the middle of the night, Facelessid motionlessly on his bed. Suddenly, a line began to etch between his brows.

    Klunk ... Klunk ... Klunk

    Faceless¡¯s eyelids trembled. He knew that someone was outside.

    Klunk ... Klunk ...Klunk

    Immediately, he focused his attention on the tiny slit between the doors. He carefully inched towards it and pressed his ears against the door.

    Klunk ... Klunk ... Klunk

    Faceless slowly pushed open the door and followed the sound all the way to the fridge. For some unknown reason, the doors to the fridge were left wide open.

    He proceeded cautiously towards the fridge with his brows tightly knitted together, ¡°What the hell is going on? Who opened it?¡±

    He was living in a magnificent three storied bungalow. All his guards resided in the first two floors. These guards were no ordinary people. They were handpicked by him when they were just orphans. His continued brainwashing had turned them into the most faithful soldiers. Furthermore, no one even knew about their existence.

    Without his permission, no one was allowed to set foot on the third floor, which made the situation even more bizarre.

    ¡°Did I forget to shut it?¡± As the vignt man that he was, Faceless decided to err on the side of caution. He contacted his subordinates staying below him and only went back to bed after ensuring that everything was fine.

    All these time, Zhao Yao was hiding behind his extradimensional gate and watched Faceless¡¯s action with a bag of chips in his hand. Zhao Yao muttered, ¡°What a careful man.¡±

    Barely 10 minutes into his sleep, Faceless was awoken by a familiar sound. With his eyes stretched open, he sat up against the headboard as the sound of the familiar flushing echoed in his ears.

    Instinctively, Faceless mmed his palm against the emergency button, situated next to his bed. Immediately, a detachment of guards had gathered outside his room, leading the charge was a 13 years old girl. This was the girl who offered to kill Zhao Yao on his behalf.

    ¡°Master, what is the matter?¡±

    Faceless only managed to heave a sigh of relief upon seeing this familiar face. Her name was Peacock. She was the most fanatic member of Faceless¡¯s adolescent apostle guards. She had devoted her life to ensure his safety.

    ¡°Peacock, just now ... get someone to investigate it.¡±

    The young guards sprang into action, leaving no stones unturned. However, they couldn¡¯t find traces of anyone else other than themselves.

    ¡°It¡¯s impossible. I heard the sound of the toilet bowl flushing.¡± Faceless drowned in disbelief.

    The young guards started to slid one another a suspicious look when one of them suggested, ¡°Maybe your ears yed a trick on you. The sound could havee from downstairs.¡±

    The investigation was futile. In order to put his mind at ease, Faceless instructed Peacock and two other subordinates to stand guard outside his room throughout the night.

    However, worry continued to gnaw at him after the two previous incidents. He just couldn¡¯t seem to will himself to sleep. His heart continued to pound at an rming rate.

    For the next 20 minutes, his body simply rolled from one corner of the bed to another. To make matters worse, his ears began to grow even more sensitive to the noises lingering in the darkness. Crunch ... Crunch. Someone was eating beside him.

    Faceless took in a deep breath before activating his power. Instantly, his entire body was coated with a yellow glow. He specially chose this ability to protect himself. It allowed him to transfer any damages he received to the matter which he was stepping on. It was a power which he had acquired through the many transactions.

    As the boss of an influential apostle organization, he obviously reserved such potent defensive abilities for himself. The remaining destructive powers were left to his subordinates.

    Faceless could finally take a breather after activating his power. Then, he began to turn his head around slowly.

    Nothing. No one was behind him, not even a shadow. However, that same annoying sound continued to ring in his ears.

    ¡°Is it the power of invisibility?¡± His brows snapped together as he threw his fist forward blindly. However, his clenched fist missed his intended targetpletely.

    Crunch ... Crunch.

    The noise did not stop. Instead, it grew even louder. Faceless could even make out a familiar scent in the air, ¡°This is ...¡±

    Unbeknownst to him, Zhao Yao was actually seated behind a giant table, situated within the extradimensional gate. The table was adorned with tes of beef,mb, meatballs and all sorts of condiments left from the reunion dinner. With a pair of chopsticks and phone in each hand, Zhao Yao began to gobble down the delicaciesid out in front of him.

    ¡°I can¡¯t waste all these good food. I have to finish all of them!¡±

    Actually, Zhao Yao was not cking. He was simply multitasking ¨C monitoring while eating. Suddenly, he noticed a sudden change in Faceless¡¯s action and pondered, ¡°He managed to detect my presence? Did this guy strengthen his sixth sense?¡±

    Immediately, Zhao Yao reacted to the situation, ¡°Oh, I forgot to seal the sound and smell within the belly. Hmph, I guess he heard the sound of me gobbling down all these good food.¡±

    However, Zhao Yao did not bother to seal the sound and smell because he was distracted by that beautiful golden exmation mark floating above Faceless¡¯s head.

    ¡°This works?¡± Joy danced through his heart as Zhao Yao whispered, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this guy to be such a scaredy-cat. I mean what¡¯s so scary about the sound of someone else enjoying his hotpot in the middle of the night? To think that he would resort to asking for help. I would have done this right at the start if I learned about it sooner.¡± With this thought, Zhao Yao began to exaggerate the slurping sound.

    Terror started overtaking his face as Faceless¡¯s skin turnedpletely green. He began to throw his punches and kicks towards the source of the sound, but it was to no avail. There was nothing in front of him, but the smell was unmistakable, ¡°It¡¯s a hotpot! There is definitely a hotpot here! What is going on!¡±

    A thought sprang into his head, ¡°Is this the work of another superpower?¡± However, it just didn¡¯t make any sense at all. What was the power of this ability? What was it supposed to achieve by flooding the opponent¡¯s olfactory sense with the fragrance of hotpot?

    Following Faceless¡¯s thunderous roar, Peacock once again led her team to conduct another search. However, the results remained the same. No anomaly was detected. Hence, Faceless decided to switch to another room on the second floor.

    Lying on this new bed, Faceless embraced the whiff of fresh air with open arms. Faceless could finally afford to shut his eyes in this peaceful environment. A warm fuzzy feeling coursed through his entire body.

    However, it was only temporary. That same scent and sound returned to haunt him.

    Faceless opened his eyes and stared down at the headboard, ¡°Back again? Who the hell are you?¡±

    With the use of the extradimensional gates, Zhao Yao teleported next to Faceless before whispering gently into his ears, ¡°I am Liu Xiao Ming . 1 ¡±

    Bullshit! Liu Xiao Ming didn¡¯t even know how to make hotpot! Faceless¡¯s temples throbbed with rage as he came face-to-face with this obnoxious opponent. Hence, he roared, ¡°What do you want from me? What does it take for you to leave? Do you want money? Or do you want cats?¡±

    ¡°I want everything!¡±

    Zhao Yao was indifferent to Faceless¡¯ constant bbering because something far more important had caught his eye ¨C a mission.

    Mission: Altering One¡¯s Dream

    Objective: Stop disturbing Faceless

    Reward: 10 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    ¡°What? Just 10 experience points?¡± Zhao Yao scoffed at this measly sum promised. After all, he could easily earn 100 experience points by simply feeding his cat with his legendary cat food every day. His lips instantly curled in disdain at the sight of it.

    Meanwhile, anger continued to swell up inside Faceless. Hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s absurd request, a sinister smile began to tug at his lips as he whispered, ¡°I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to spend all these money in the afterworld.¡±

    However, in reality, a calm expression nketed his face as Faceless replied, ¡°Alright! If this is what it takes for you to stop, I¡¯ll give you all the money and cats that you ask for! Tell me, how much do you want? How do you want me to pass you the money?¡±

    In his head, Faceless was thinking, ¡°I don¡¯t care who you are but you would definitely expose your identity the moment you receive the money and cats. Then, I¡¯ll catch you in one fell swoop!¡±

    Zhao Yao was taken aback by Faceless¡¯s generosity. He never expected the leader of the notorious Mao Gang to be such an amiable host. Not only did he offer him money, he even proposed to give Zhao Yao his cats. Even Zhao Yao could not suppress the flush creeping up his face.

    ¡°How about we start off with RMB 100,000,000 and 100 supercats? I¡¯m not particr about their abilities. After all, I, Liu Xiao Ming, am not that fussy.¡±

    Faceless seized Zhao Yao¡¯s attention with a series of intense coughs as he refused, ¡°I don¡¯t even have so much money and cats. How am I even supposed to give that to you?¡±

    ¡°Huh. Are you telling me that you don¡¯t even have RMB 100,000,000? Then why are you spending all your time in this supercat business, you might as well focus your attention on real estate.¡±

    Green veins began to pop up across Faceless¡¯s broad forehead. He just wanted to grab this man by his neck and snap it into two. However, he had to contain his anger and instead offered a counter-offer, ¡°How about I transfer RMB 1,000,000 to you first. The cats willeter. How is that?¡± He needed this transaction to capture this ridiculous man.

    ¡°Nah, it¡¯s okay. Just record it down on your books. I¡¯lle by and redeem it in the future.¡±

    Immediately the mysterious presence had vanished, along with any remnants of its sound or scent.

    Faceless¡¯s fatigued body copsed against the mattress as he let out a depressing sigh, ¡°I never expected such a power to exist ... I must catch him.¡±

    However, the brief respitested for mere seconds. Once again, that same agonizing scent had returned to torment Faceless. With anger searing through his body, he asked, ¡°Why are you back again? Do not cross the line. Do you think I¡¯m really scared of you? I can survive the entire night without sleep!¡±

    Zhao Yao was paralyzed by disbelief as the golden exmation mark disappeared into thin air, ¡°That¡¯s unexpected. I never expected him to be a man of his word.¡±

    True to his word, Faceless had tranted his promations to concrete action. He understood this mysterious man¡¯s unwavering resolve to annoy him. Hence, he chose to jump out of his bed and spent the rest of the night, immersed inputer games.

    Faceless dered, ¡°I¡¯m telling you that no one can possibly hold me against my own will!¡±

    Momentster, the agonizing scent of hotpot finally dissipated from the surroundings. Faceless took a deep breath as his face lit up with joy, ¡°Is it finally over?¡±

    Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

    Suddenly, the room was inundated with the sound of a female¡¯s moans. Faceless¡¯s face turned scarlet as the disconcerting sound continued to echo in his ears. His body began to lock up with rage as he thought, ¡°That bastard! Is he watching porn?¡±

    The sound was deafening. It was as if someone had turned the loudest speaker to maximum and sted it in his ears. The moans were ear-splitting. Everyone within his bungalow could definitely hear it.

    As expected, the adolescent guards began to slide one another a guarded look as their eyes drifted towards Faceless¡¯s room.

    With her face flushed with embarrassment, Peacock began to knock against Faceless¡¯s door and asked, ¡°Master, the music is a bit too loud. Have you forgotten to plug in your headphones?¡±

    ¡°D*mn it!¡± Faceless¡¯s brain exploded with fury when he heard the usationsing out of his most trusted subordinate¡¯s mouth. After all, did a person of his stature even need to watch such films? However, he knew that it was impossible for him to absolve himself of all the condemnation regardless of what he said.

    How was he supposed to face his subordinates or the adolescent guards? Ultimately, they were still children!

    ¡°Alright, enough is enough! Can you stop that now! Everything can be negotiated peacefully.¡±

    Finally, the long-awaited golden exmation mark had returned to its rightful position. Joy bubbled up inside Zhao Yao as he epted the mission with a wide grin. He then switched off the speaker before reminding him, ¡°Faceless, you can depend on your own hands at home. However, do not forget to ask your friend for a helping hand when you need it. Going solo might not always be the best solution.¡±

    No words could possibly express the anger racing through Faceless¡¯s body. He could only nod his head indignantly. In his head, he just wanted to clobber Zhao Yao with his bare fists. Before that, he should take that power right out of this man¡¯s hands and used it to torture others.

    After two tries, Zhao Yao only managed to earn a mere 30 odd experience points. He was toozy to squeeze any more experience points out of this stingy man. It was simply not worth the effort.

    ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s so hard to find a mission that suits my needs.¡±

    Even though Zhao Yao had already left him alone, Faceless still struggled to catch a wink. The entire night was spent worrying about the next attack. Hence, he left his bed with a pair of adorable panda eyes the next morning.

    Peacock was taken aback when she saw Faceless. His face was a mess: sunken cheeks coupled with blood-shot eyes. She could not help but remind him, ¡°Master, you should try to control your impulses.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Faceless quivered with indignation as he screamed in his head, ¡°But I did nothing at all!¡±

    For the rest of the day, Zhao Yao continued to watch Faceless furtively. However, he failed to acquire any useful information. On the other hand, Matcha also didn¡¯t return to the belly which meant that he too had failed to acquire any intelligence.

    Something interesting finally happened when Zhao Yao was on the verge of giving up. Faceless was discussing with some of Mao Gang¡¯s higher-ups regarding the details of the auction.

    Faceless dered, ¡°The auction shall begin from tomorrow onwards. Thankfully, we have captured the Pas¡¯s cat king. The auction of this prized cat will be the climax of the event. This will spread our name to every inch and corner of the country. Our customers will start streaming in from today onwards. Mamba, you are responsible for the cats during the auction. Have you transported all of them over? There is no room for error, especially when ites to the Pas¡¯s cat king.¡±

    Mamba stood at a staggering 1.9 meters tall and sported a healthy tan from head to toe. He was Faceless¡¯s right-hand man and the nucleus of the organization. He was privy to many of Mao Gang¡¯s secrets even though he wasn¡¯t an apostle.

    Mamba nodded his head in response. Naturally, Faceless trusted his personal adolescent guards more than anyone else. However, they were still kids in his eyes. No matter how strong they were, there were still things which were beyond their capabilities. The adults Faceless chose for such jobs were not apostles. This ensured a separation of power, thus leaving the power nucleus in his hands.

    Faceless looked towards another boy and ordered, ¡°Pigeon, I want you to follow Mamba to the auction. You are responsible for the safety of the event. Listen to whatever Mamba has to say.¡±

    The boy named Pigeon nodded his head obediently. Other than Peacock, he was the strongest apostle amongst the adolescent guards. His magma powers were terrifying. Faceless hadplete confidence in his abilities to maintain order throughout the event.

    There were three prominent figures that stood out amongst the adolescent guards. They were Peacock, Pigeon, and Pebble, who was responsible for Red Packet.

    All of them were still teenagers. However, their deadly powers were handpicked from the thousands of cats which had gone through their hands. Even though they were still kids, they would stop at nothing to ensure mission sess, making them far more dangerous than the regr apostles.

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Now that Faceless hadpleted his initial preparations for the auction, Zhao Yao decided to tag along Mamba instead. As the primary person responsible for the supercats, Zhao Yao could definitely find out the truth by following him.

    Also, he could verify the authenticity of Faceless¡¯s words: whether the captured cats were truly well-taken care of.

    With one extradimensional gate stashed within Faceless¡¯s residence, Zhao Yao used the two remaining gates to track the duo, Mamba, and Pigeon, as they headed towards the auction site.

    Moments after Zhao Yao¡¯s exit, Faceless answered a call with a serious tone, ¡°What did you manage to learn about him?¡±

    ¡°From what I¡¯ve gathered, there¡¯s nothing exceptionally peculiar about this man, Zhao Yao. He is just an ordinary apostle with a supercat caf¨¦. However, out of the many supercats he has, one of them wields the power of regeneration. I heard that many old yet influential men visit his caf¨¦ for their treatment. I also heard that he is pretty close to Old Man Zhuang.¡±

    Faceless responded with a mirthlessugh, ¡°And I thought that he was some powerful apostle. I guess I have grossly overestimated him, a measly doctor for these old men. Does he really think that he can do whatever he wants just because of his stupid cats? I would have yielded to him if he were Old Man Zhuang¡¯s son, but he isn¡¯t. He¡¯s just a lucky fe who got to speak to him. That¡¯s all.¡±

    Faceless tossed his phone to a side when Peacock¡¯s voice echoed in his head, ¡°Master, should we act now? We cannot allow this man to leak any information regarding the cat¡¯s ability.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s just his bad luck. If it were any ordinary cats, I would not even think twice and return them to him immediately. You can even earn a few brownie points from those old men in doing so. However, this is the fortune cat that we are talking about. This information cannot be leaked. I¡¯m sad to say that only one logical option remains: kill him. This cat is simply too good for him.¡±

    Faceless¡¯s head nodded along to Peacock¡¯s every word, ¡°Very well, but this cannot affect the auction. Ivory, Talon and a few heavyweight international representatives will being over. We cannot afford to screw things up. Let him live for another two days. We will kill him at the conclusion of the event.¡±

    ...

    While Zhao Yao was busy stalking Mamba and Peacock from the shadows, a fierce fight had already broken out over at Red Packet and Lightning¡¯s side.

    In the darkest hour of the night, a magnificent beast with sapphire-liked eyes was making its way towards Mao Gang¡¯s hidden base. Jolts of electric currents run along the length of its body. Every inch of earth it touched was burnt ck to a crisp.

    Ahhh!

    A beam of blinding light shot straight out of the monster¡¯s mouth and tore the giant metal gate into two.

    Just when the beast was about to enter their, the surrounding rubble, soil and rocks began to fuse together, morphing into a giant man made of rocks. This was the adolescent apostle responsible for Red Packet, Pebble.

    The Rock Giant¡¯s monstrous fists shed against one another, sending shockwaves into the surroundings. It spoke in a deep and slow manner, ¡°Pas¡¯s cat king, you have finally returned.¡±

    The already huge Pebble continued to grow at an astounding rate. With its body wrapped in jolts of electric currents, Pas¡¯s cat king¡¯s thunderous voice bellowed, ¡°Mao Gang, how dare you steal my residents from right under my nose! I will make you pay for your atrocities!¡±

    Immediately, coils of electric currents spiraled from behind, propelling him forward as his body bolted towards the rock giant.

    He was the Zeus amongst the cats. Streams of electric currents continued to pour out of his body uncontrobly, burning everything to a crisp. Any ordinary human would have instantly died from the staggering amount of electricity produced.

    With the effect of the currents, his speed managed to reach an all-time high. His lean body continued to circle the rock giant at warp speed. Each attack would smash chunks of rock out of Pebble¡¯s body.

    Following another resounding scream, the rocks began to fuse together at an even faster speed. Soon, Pebble was already towering over the surrounding buildings. Every punch and kick would raze the buildings to the ground. It was like a scene taken straight out of the film, Godzi.

    With his nimble movements, the Pas¡¯s cat king managed to avoid all of Pebble¡¯s attack with ease. However, lightning was naturally weaker against the earth element. Coupled with Pebble¡¯s ever-increasing size, the Pas¡¯s cat king soon found himself at a disadvantage.

    A line began to etch between his brows. Obviously, the Pas¡¯s cat king was no idiot. He understood the inherent differences between their abilities as the thought of escaping crossed his mind. After all, his opponent was far slower than himself, giving him every chance of circumventing it and dashing into the base to rescue everyone.

    However, his n started to fall through immediately. The tides were turning against Pas¡¯s cat king for Pebble was not the only apostle standing on Mao Gang¡¯s side.

    The intensity of the battle continued to grow exponentially. Sparks of currents flew across the sky as earthquakes continued to shake the ground from time to time. Screams and shouts would puncture the asional silence, turning the town into ruins.

    ¡°Catch him!¡±

    ¡°He is trying to escape!¡±

    ¡°Prepare the tranquilizer guns!¡±

    ¡°Do not use any metallic weapons against him!¡±

    Ahh!

    The sound from the battles finally began to wane. With his ears shot up, Red Packet asked, ¡°Is Zhao Yao here for us? Why did the noise end? Is the battle over?¡±

    Momentster, even the footsteps stopped. Suddenly, a huge Pas¡¯s cat was tossed into the cell opposite theirs.

    A voice began to echo down the hallway as Neoma eximed, ¡°Dad! Dad, are you alright?¡± Neoma was actually the daughter to the Pas¡¯s cat king. She was the primary reason why he attacked the base in the first ce.

    A frail voice started to echo from opposite them as the Pas¡¯s cat king replied, ¡°Neoma, do not worry. I am fine.¡±

    However, the discolored bruises running down the length of his body refuted his wordspletely. Neoma ¡®s haunting screams continued to echo down the hallway despite her father¡¯s coaxing.

    Red Packet started to evaluate the cat thrown inside the opposite cell as disappointment sagged through his tiny frame, ¡°It¡¯s not Zhao Yao? What¡¯s taking him so long? I hope he didn¡¯t lose his way here.¡±

    Suddenly, Lightning jumped to his feet and ran forward, ¡°Where is the Pas¡¯s cat king? Where is he? Show me!¡±

    Red Packet slid him a condescending re, ¡°What¡¯s there to look at? He is just another silly cat who ran straight to his grave.¡±

    The feeble voice roared, ¡°I would not have fallen if not for the opponent¡¯s rock abilities. Furthermore, they were the despicable ones who ganged up and sneaked up on me!¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t that the job of the bad guys? To sneak up on the nice guys?¡± Red Packet scoffed, ¡°Power lies in number. Who would choose a head-on confrontation when you can choose a surprise attack?¡±

    The Pas¡¯s cat king roared, ¡°What do you know? No ploys or schemes would stand up against true power. If the Super Pas¡¯s cat is around, he can definitely save us!¡±

    Lightning eximed, ¡°Hey, can you help me check if I¡¯m the legendary Super Pas¡¯s cat?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s impossible.¡± He replied with a shaking voice, ¡°Only one such cat can be born in every 1000 years. He is the cream of the crop. If you were truly the Super Pas¡¯s cat, you wouldn¡¯t even end up in this stupid cell in the first ce.¡±

    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because I haven¡¯t been awakened all this time!¡± Lightning roared, ¡°Is there any method that can be used to awaken the Super Pas¡¯s cat? Maybe it¡¯s like those bankai or super saiyan mode in the animes!¡±

    Pas¡¯s cat king gave a despondent shake of his head, ¡°It is futile. Only Pas¡¯s cat with lightning-natured abilities can harness the abilities of the Super Pas¡¯s cat.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 446: I Shall Give You My Power</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Other than his overwhelmingly strong electric power, Pas¡¯s cat king had the ability to transfer his electric abilities to other electric-natured Pas¡¯s cat, thus amplifying their powers.

    Immediately, Red Packet¡¯s right eyebrow shot skywards as he slid Lightning an astonished re. However, Lightning was already overwhelmed with excitement as he shoved his head between the tiny gaps and eximed, ¡°That¡¯s me! I wield electric powers!¡±

    Even the Pas¡¯s cat king was taken aback by Lightning words as he replied, ¡°Really? What kind of electric power do you possess?¡±

    ¡°Static! I can release static from my body!¡±

    The Pas¡¯s cat king was left speechless by Lightning¡¯s response.

    Following a period ofplete silence, Lightning¡¯s voice once again punctured the peace, ¡°What happened? Did you hear what I just said?¡±

    An awkward smile spread across the Pas¡¯s cat king¡¯s face as he replied, ¡°Actually, not all lightning-natured Pas¡¯s cats have what it takes to be the legendary Super Pas¡¯s cat.¡±

    Lightning recognized his tone of condescension right away and felt the anger sweeping over him, ¡°Hey, old man. Are you belittling the strength of static? I absolutely abhor cats like you who love to discriminate!¡±

    The Pas¡¯s cat king propped his chin on his paw and pacified Lightning with the first excuse which popped into his head, ¡°There¡¯s nothing I can do even if I want to impart my skills to you when we are kept in different cages. I cannot even touch you!¡±

    ¡°I can help.¡± This mysterious voice caught everyone by surprise. Another Pas¡¯s cat, Sandstorm, emerged from the ground with a lopsided smile stretched across his face, ¡°Pas¡¯s cat king, do you want me to send these two fools over to your cell? In that case, you can transfer your power to him and turn him into the Super Pas¡¯s cat!¡±

    As a rebel who betrayed his own kind, Sandstorm naturally did not believe in the existence of the Super Pas¡¯s cat. He had always regarded this legend with a grain of salt, including what the Pas¡¯s cat king had just mentioned.

    Hence, his only motivation for doing so was to expose this atrocious lie. He wanted the Pas¡¯s cat king himself to admit that the Super Pas¡¯s cat was nothing but a myth.

    However, these words were music to Lightning¡¯s ears as hopes fluttered inside him, ¡°Yes! Yes! Release me and transfer me to his cage. I will definitely turn into the Super Pas¡¯s cat!¡±

    Neoma, too, did not suspect Sandstorm¡¯s motives and began to chant along, ¡°Dad! You can do it! I trust you!¡±

    A grimace started to appear on the Pas¡¯s cat king¡¯s face as he heard his daughter¡¯s cheers echoing down the hallway. How could a Pas¡¯s cat with the power of static possibly be the legendary Super Pas¡¯s cat?

    Meanwhile, Sandstorm was adamant to turn the both of them intoughing stock. He swung the gates open and gestured Lightning towards the Pas¡¯s cat king¡¯s direction.

    He was not the least bit worried about the cats escaping. After all, both Red Packet and Lightning had virtually zerobat powers. Furthermore, they were restrained by their cors.

    Admittedly, the Pas¡¯s cat king was a far stronger opponent. However, he was debilitated by his injuries. Coupled with the tranquilizer injected into him, there was no chance of him escaping. Sandstorm was surprised that he even managed to stay awake.

    With the doors swung open, Lightning bolted out with excitement surging through him, ¡°Where is he? Are you the one? Quickly! Transfer the power to me! I can feel the dormant power resting within me! At any moment, my power will be unlocked and I¡¯ll turn into the Super Pas¡¯s cat. Then, I¡¯ll rescue all of you out of this ce!¡±

    The Pas¡¯s cat king could not help but roll his eyes as he stared at the furless cat in front of him. He was thinking, ¡°But I don¡¯t want to. He hasn¡¯t even grown out all his fur. I don¡¯t want to waste my precious power on this immature kid.¡±

    At this moment, a rumbling noise echoed from a far corner. Immediately, Sandstorm¡¯s expression changed as he threatened, ¡°Someone is here already. Are you going to transfer your power or not? If not, I¡¯ll have to send both of you back.¡±

    The Pas¡¯s cat king¡¯s expression had already contorted into a grimace. Despair sank through his body as he pondered, ¡°D*mn it. I never expected that a cat of my standing would ever require the help of a hideous cat like him.¡±

    However, he was a pragmatic individual. He recognized the severity of his injuries and knew that the naked Pas¡¯s cat standing before him stood a better chance than he did. A wave of agonizing pain swept through him when he made the decision.

    ¡°Never mind, there is nothing more to lose.¡± With that, the Pas¡¯s cat king roared, ¡°Come in front of me and press my paw against your back.¡±

    Lightning instantly dashed over. However, this was an exceptionally awkward task given Lightning¡¯s short limbs. Hence, he gave Red Packet the honor to execute the Pas¡¯s cat king¡¯s orders.

    With both their bodies lying neatly against the floor, Red Packet pressed both of Pas¡¯s cat king¡¯s paws against Lightning¡¯s back.

    The Pas¡¯s cat king then let out a deafening roar, ¡°Shut your eyes and focus! I will be transferring all my power rued over my entire life over to you! I hope that you would turn into the revered Super Pas¡¯s cat from the legend!¡±

    ¡°Come at me! I ...¡± Lightning eximed.

    Before he evenpleted his statement, the Pas¡¯s cat king had already mmed both his palms against his back.

    Rays of electric beams began to encircle both their bodies. Suddenly, streams of blue electric waves started shooting out of his palms and pelted against Lightning¡¯s back. Immediately, Lightning¡¯s body began to convulse violently.

    Red Packet could not help but bit his lips as he watched Lightning¡¯s ordeal, ¡°He looks like he is in pain.¡±

    The Pas¡¯s cat king replied calmly, ¡°It is no easy task to absorb all the electric powers from my body. This is as good as increasing his powers forcefully. Just imagine if someone starts to pull your limbs in an effort to lengthen your body. It¡¯s only natural that it hurts.¡±

    Lightning¡¯s head was vibrating like a vibrator as he stammered, ¡°Stop ... stop ... stop ...¡±

    Red Packet hesitated toment, ¡°I think he¡¯s asking you to stop.¡±

    ¡°We have already gone through so much. How can I possibly stop at this stage?¡±

    Red Packet was left speechless as he retorted, ¡°From what I can see, he looks like he is already burnt.¡±

    Bam! Following the final st of the electric jolt, Lightning¡¯s body flew forward before he collided with the wall and slid across the floor. His entire body was charred.

    The Pas¡¯s cat king too copsed to the ground. He looked as if he had aged by at least a decade. His eyes darted towards the burnt Lightning as he descended into depression.

    ¡°From the looks of it, he isn¡¯t the Super Pas¡¯s cat mentioned in the legend.¡±

    Sandstorm chortled, ¡°Super Pas¡¯s cat is a joke. No such thing exists in our world! This is a vicious and cruel world where the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must! True power lies in undisputed strength! You can only increase your power by trading for stronger cats like what Mao Gang does. This is the only way! Do you understand?¡±

    A broad grin spread across Sandstorm¡¯s face as he sneered at the Pas¡¯s cat king. He then threw the unconscious Lightning and worried Red Packet back to their cell before locking them up.

    Momentster, a few muscr men came in to retrieve the Pas¡¯s cat king.

    The leader amongst them even mentioned, ¡°Be careful. This cat here is the most important cat up for auction!¡±

    Through the tiny window, Red Packet watched as the Pas¡¯s cat king was transported out of the facility. Meanwhile, Neoma¡¯s haunting screams continued to echo as she asked about the situation.

    Red Packet¡¯s body felt leaden. With a solemn expression, he swept his head towards his unconscious ally and started to sniff at him. Then, his paws reached towards Lightning¡¯s nose and chest. Only then did he manage to breathe a sigh of relief.

    ¡°Thank goodness he is still alive. Is it because of his static abilities? But given his condition, he requires immediate medical attention.¡±

    While he was busy weighing the situation, cackling sounds began to erupt from Lightning¡¯s skin. Suddenly, a ke of charred skin dropped to the ground, exposing his pink skin underneath.

    Red Packet could not believe his eyes, ¡°This is ...¡± He watched this ridiculous scene with excitement racing through his body.

    A few minutester, Scorpion returned to Red Packet¡¯s cell with a few other muscle blokes by his side. They intended to transfer Red Packet and Lightning to a separate location.

    After all, the Pas¡¯s cat king¡¯s raid only meant that the base¡¯s location had been exposed. Now that the Pas¡¯s cat king was captured, the one remaining task was to transport the remaining cats to the auction site. With Pebble overseeing the security throughout the conveyance, it was the best time to transport Red Packet as well.

    However, Red Packet was headed for a different destination. It wasn¡¯t moving towards the auction site but Faceless¡¯s house.

    Ultimately, this cat was too precious for the organization. Hence, Red Packet would stay by Faceless¡¯s side while the adolescent apostles provided 24/7 protection.

    However, Scorpion¡¯s jaw went ck the moment he set foot into the cell. The charred Lightning simplyy motionlessly against the ground.

    ¡°What the hell just happened?¡± Terror overtook his face as he drew closer to Lightning. Upon closer inspection, his brows immediately snapped together, ¡°There¡¯s no chance he¡¯ll survive given the scale of the injurybined with the severity of the burnt. Sandstorm, ask him what just happened. How could a supercat thrown behind bars sustain such grave injuries?¡±

    Sweat beaded Sandstorm¡¯s forehead. Before he even responded, Red Packet had already interrupted, ¡°Just tell him that the Pas¡¯s cat king attacked him. Also, I no longer require hispanionship since he is just minutes from his death. Just let him die here.¡±

    Sandstorm could not decipher Red Packet¡¯s intentions: was he truly cold-blooded or was he simply feigning it? However, there was no way that the idiot could have survived the attack. Even his own mother would have problems recognizing him.

    Hence, Sandstorm acquiesced with Red Packet¡¯s words and conveyed the instructions to Scorpion. Consequently, a group of men came over to transport Red Packet, leaving Lightning to die on his own.

    However, just minutes after their departure, the same crackling sound began to erupt from Lightning¡¯s skin. This time around, more of the charred skin came off, exposing argeyer of pink skin underneath.

    Onboard the SUV, Red Packet was secretly praying for hispanion, ¡°By leaving Lightning here, there¡¯s a chance that Zhao Yao woulde over and save him. Maybe, there might even be a chance of him escaping on his own. Then, he will be able to contact Zhao Yao and the rest.¡±

    ...

    After Mao Gang had left for a few hours, the supercat tour group finally found themselves at their destination.

    With a smug look spread across his face, Matcha satfortably on Sphynx Cat¡¯s back with a cor hanging by his lips. He set his sight on the ruins left behind and asked, ¡°Have we finally arrived? Sphynx Cat, you are really too slow. How can you possibly earn the boss¡¯s trust with yourckluster attitude?¡± Then, Matcha continued with a cocksure shrug of his shoulders.

    Sphynx Cat cocked his head to the side while sliding Matcha a condescending re, ¡°If you¡¯re so good, why don¡¯t you lead us instead? This ce is swarming with sand. Furthermore, it has been eons since their capture. If not for me, all of you would never have found this ce!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m exhausted!¡± Elizabeth copsed to the floor with her limbs paralyzed with pain. With her face glistening with sweat, she eximed, ¡°Rest! I need my rest! It feels as if my entire body is burning!¡±

    Roly Poly too had sumbed to the physical exhaustion, ¡°Master Matcha, please allow everyone to take a break. The journey here is simply too strenuous on our tiny legs.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, a bunch of good for nothing.¡± Matcha scoffed, ¡°Red Packet and Lightning have been abducted by others. Their predicament is precarious! Every second wasted might mean the difference between life and death! Hence, we have no time to waste at all! Everyone, get on your feet! Right now!¡±

    Uncle Egg reasoned, ¡°Matcha, everyone has reached their physical limits. We are on the brink of exhaustion. If we attack now, our opponents could easily capture us instead. Isn¡¯t that right, Ares?¡±

    Sensing the spotlight shining on him, Ares replied as he struggled to catch his breath, ¡°Meow ... Meow ... Meowhahaha ... actually ... meowhaha ... I ... meowhahaha ...¡±

    Catherine asked, ¡°Ares, are you tired? You can simply let us down and take a good rest.¡±

    Caesar could not understand all theseints as he asked curiously, ¡°Are you guys really that tired? I¡¯m perfectly fine!¡± Then, he began to jump around and muttered, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect myself to be so strong.¡±

    Hearing Cathine and Caesar¡¯s words, Ares was immediately thrown into a state of disbelief as he stared cluelessly at Caesar, ¡°When was he ever this strong?¡±

    However, his words betrayed his true feelings as he replied, ¡°Meow ... it¡¯s nothing ... meow ... I¡¯m as fit as a bull ... meowhahaha ... I can charge in anytime!¡±

    ¡°Look at this disy of strength,¡± Matcha roared as he threw his paw into the sky, ¡°Everyone, get ready to follow behind me! We shall attack now!¡±

    ¡°No!¡± Roly Poly¡¯s scream echoed as he threw his body in Matcha¡¯s way in a valiant effort to dissuade him, ¡°Matcha! Your desire to win has clouded your judgment. By attacking now, you are simply disregarding the enemy¡¯s strength! You cannot fall for this!¡±

    ¡°Hmph, a Roly Rebellion? How dare you try to stop me?¡± Matcha¡¯s eyes swept across his surroundings and he slid everyone a look of condescension. Suddenly, he raised the cor from his neck skywards and shouted, ¡°Look at this!¡±

    Roly Poly felt a gust of chilling wind running through his body as he stared at that magnificent object. Instinctively, he took a few steps back.

    ¡°This object is endowed to us by our master. Seeing it is as good as seeing Zhao Yao himself.¡± With that, he threw his paws in the direction of the desecrated building and roared, ¡°Our boss has instructed me to lead an army and punish the thieves. When he is not around, my words represent his! Who agrees with me? Who dares to disagree?¡±

    The sea of supercats was left speechless by these galvanizing words. After all, who dared to defile the very words of Zhao Yao.

    A glimmer of jealousy shed across Roly Poly¡¯s eyes as he stared in amazement at the cor, ¡°D*mn it! If not for those useless fes who exposed my actions, this cor would have been in my hands! Now, it ended up in the hands of that scum, Matcha! How can he ever lead us?¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡± Matcha scanned and was encouraged by the absence of objection. He nodded his head contently and roared, ¡°Attack!¡±

    Momentster, the supercats hadmenced their historic attack against the base. Riding on Sphynx Cat¡¯s back, Matcha spearheaded the charge.

    Sadly, the base had long been abandoned. After sifting through the ruins for hours, they finally found the abandoned prison.

    Located in the deepest and darkest corner of the prison was the charred Lightning.

    ¡°Lightning!¡± Matcha jumped and instantly descended from his ride. Every spot Matcha¡¯s paw touched was met with a crackling sound as ayer of charred skin cracked and dissipated into the surroundings as dust.

    ¡°What happened?¡± Matcha was perplexed as he witnessed the usual Lightning emerging from the charred shell.

    Suddenly, Sphynx Cat¡¯s ears gave a quick twitch as he exined, ¡°He is still alive. It seems like his heartbeat is even stronger than before.¡±

    That was enough information for Matcha. He pounced forward and weed Lightning with a few ps across his face. He was the key to everything: finding out what happened and where Red Packet was.

    Despite the thunderous ps, Roly Poly continued to sleep like a dead log. He showed zero signs of waking up anytime soon.

    After 15 minutes, the supercats gathered back at the original spot and shared the results of their search.

    ¡°Only Lightning is here.¡±

    ¡°I cannot even find anyone or anything else.¡±

    ¡°Judging from the cracks across the floor, an intense battle had just been waged.¡±

    ¡°I spot a tire trail leading in that direction! Maybe, we can try to follow it.¡±

    Matcha began to lick his paws thoughtfully and pondered, ¡°Have they all been transported away? No matter what, it¡¯s best that I report back to Zhao Yao.¡±

    With that, he cocked his head to the left, towards Dust Ball who had recently woken up, ¡°Dust Ball!¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao had followed Mamba all the way to the borderlines.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t theyvish? I never expected them to shift the entire auction to a foreign country. From the looks of it, the participants of the auction are no small fry.¡±

    Zhao Yao continued to follow closely behind him until he ended up at the entrance to a magnificent manor. Currently, they were definitely beyond the Chinese borders, but Zhao Yao was clueless as to his specific geographic location. Regardless, Zhao Yaomenced his search immediately and found throngs of supercats hidden underground.

    Upon closer inspection, he did not find any trace of Lightning or Red Packet.

    ¡°Hmph? Don¡¯t tell me that my instincts are wrong? Maybe that obnoxious fat cat lied to me? Or maybe Mao Gang really did not take Red Packet and Lightning away.¡±

    Memories of the entire search process flooded his mind as he tried to pinpoint any loopholes which he had previously missed.

    At this moment, Matcha suddenly returned to the extradimensional belly. Shortly after, the unconscious Lightning was tossed in using the extradimensional belly gates.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes sparkled with excitement as he eximed, ¡°Matcha, you guys managed to find Lightning?¡±

    Hence, Matcha began to recount their entire story, how they managed to locate the base and what happened consequently. Then, he threw his paws in Lightning¡¯s direction and continued, ¡°That¡¯s the whole story. However, we just can¡¯t seem to wake this guy up.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead furrowed slightly, knowing that the most important catid there unconscious. Suddenly, a glimmer of exhration shed across his eyes as he shouted, ¡°Where is Diana? Get her to enter his dream state and wake him up!¡±

    Momentster, Diana stopped right in front of Lightning as she pressed her beautiful paw against her forehead and muttered, ¡°This guy is already dreaming. Let me try to enter his dream.¡±

    ...

    On the other hand, Lightning had just woken up in his dream state as he tried to take in his breathtaking surroundings. Everything was white, snow white and it looked extraterrestrial.

    ¡°Hmph? Wasn¡¯t the Pas¡¯s cat king transferring his power to me in an attempt to turn me into the Super Pas¡¯s cat? Where am I?¡±

    ¡°Hmph!¡± Suddenly, a Pas¡¯s cat appeared in front of Lightning. It was coated in a breathtakingly beautiful white fur, unlike anything Lightning had ever seen. It sneered, ¡°This is your inner world, you r*tard!¡±

    Lightning was seized by a momentary shock before excitement started racing through his body, ¡°Oh? I didn¡¯t even know such a setting even existed! Are you the devil inside my head? Or are you the remnants of a powerful warrior? Or maybe you¡¯re the untapped potential residing within me?¡±

    Lightning crackled as he knocked himself on his head, ¡°Meowhahaha! I knew it! There was no way that I could possibly be so weak! Am I finally going to be awakened?¡±

    ¡°Idiot!¡± The white Lightning bolted towards Lightning beforending a resounding p across his face, ¡°If you wish to be awakened, you have to first defeat me!¡±

    Lightning struggled to find his footing before he copsed to the ground, ¡°That¡¯s so troublesome. Anyway, you¡¯re either hidden within my sub consciousness or sealed within me as a secret power or a dark force residing inside me, why don¡¯t you just give it to me straight away? Why do we have to resort to violence?¡±

    White Lightning was seething with anger as he retorted, ¡°Can¡¯t you at least give it a try? Are you intending to give up without even trying?¡±

    ¡°Stop your nonsense.¡± Lightning interrupted, ¡°Just give me your power now, be it some formidable weapon or system or maybe the memories of my past self. I don¡¯t care. Just give it to me!¡±

    White Lightning was left speechless by this unreasonable individual, ¡°Forget it, pretend as if I did not say a thing. I want you to focus your attention on one thing: to release the dormant strength within you.¡±

    Immediately, Lightning shut his eyes together and looked as if he was deep in thought. Momentster, he opened his eyes and saw golden fur sprouting from his skin. It looked as if his body was engulfed by a burst of golden mes.

    ¡°Oh! I feel it! I feel the strength! The endless flow of strength that is emerging within me!¡± He threw his palm forward as a surge of golden wave charged forth, engulfing anything that was in its way.

    ¡°Is this the true power of my strength? Too strong! I am simply too strong!¡±

    Suddenly, he was alerted to a familiar voice ringing in his head, ¡°Stop daydreaming already! You are simply relishing in your own dreams!¡±

    ¡°Hmph?¡± With rage sweeping over him, Lightning cocked his head around and saw a ck Lightning standing in a faraway corner. It was shouting at him, ¡°Lightning, I am Diana! You are just dreaming! Faster wake up now!¡±

    Evidently, Diana had emerged in the form of a ck Lightning within his dream state.

    ¡°Tsk, another devil within my heart?¡± Lightning gave a mirthlessugh before springing into action. He bolted forward and stopped inches from ck Lightning¡¯s (Diana) face. With a light punch, a tremendous wave shot out in all directions, distorting the very space-time dimension which they upied. Instantly, ck Lightning was vaporized.

    ¡°Too weak!¡± Lightning bellowed, ¡°Invincible! I am invincible! No one can take me down!¡±

    ¡°Hmph?¡± Lightning suddenly threw his paws over the back of his head and muttered, ¡°Why is there a sudden throbbing headache?¡±

    ...

    In reality, Diana had woken up after dying inside the dream state and reciprocated Lightning¡¯s punch with a p to his head.

    ¡°This idiot,¡± Just thinking about it caused Diana to shake with anger as she trampled over Lightning¡¯s face with her own paws.

    Zhao Yao was taken aback by this confusing behavior, ¡°What happened? Why can¡¯t you wake him up?¡±

    ¡°This idiot is simply too imaginative.¡± Diana was shaking in anger, ¡°Give me some time. I will make him beg for his dream to end.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes as he watched Diana once again plunging into the dream state. He cocked his head towards Matcha, who stood by his side and instructed, ¡°Alright, I will stay here and wait until Lightning wakes up. Meanwhile, do not stop over at your end. Allow Sphynx Cat to continue his investigation. Let¡¯s see if he can catch up to their newest location.¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, the preparations for the auction had already reached the final stages.

    Even in the dead of night, the entire manor was awash with lights. Faceless was pacing along the alley as he asked, ¡°Who is the representative for Ivory?¡±

    This was an unprecedented event for Mao Gang. The logistical demands to organize an auction beyond the Chinese borders were immense. Hence, supercat organizations from across the globe were invited to this extraordinary event. Naturally, the local groups of Ivory and Talon were also invited.

    ¡°The representative from Ivory is Purple Sabre Fairy,¡± Peacock replied, ¡°He ising alone.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s good. Purple Sabre Fairy is a high-ranking official of Ivory. This means that they have orded the event the respect it deserves.¡± Faceless guffawed before continuing, ¡°Let¡¯s meet him then.¡±

    Ivory was thergest apostle organization in Southern China. Even the government dared not to disregard their presence. By establishing a healthy rtionship with them, Mao Gang would enjoy an elevation in their sphere of influence.

    Faceless appeared at the gates to wee Purple Sabre Fairy as they exchanged pleasantries.

    At this moment, the sound of a bellowing wind rustled. The wind was as strong as a tornado as it came crashing towards Faceless¡¯s position.

    Before Faceless even responded, Centipede (personnel responsible for security) had already let out a deafening scream.

    In a split second, both Purple Sabre Fairy and the hiding Peacock had sprung into action.

    Purple smas flew across the sky, tearing apart the air particles in its way as it shed against the tornado.

    At the same time, three columns of water shot out of Peacock as it sliced across the tornado.

    The three formidable forces shed simultaneously, producing a deafening st which echoed in their ears. With the explosion at the epicenter, the shockwaves spread radially, causing others to run for cover as they threw their hands over their ears.

    A shadow emerged from the center of the tornado and stood calmly on the grass patch in front of the manor. He gave a shrug of his shoulders as his eyes met Purple Sabre Fairy and Peacock, ¡°Hey, calm down. I was just trying to say hi.¡±

    With that, he threw a letter in the air.

    With a gust of wind, the letternded in Faceless¡¯s hand.

    Faceless took a look at it as his expression turned into a scowl, ¡°You are from Talon?¡±

    The man responsible for the tornado sniggered, ¡°You can call me Wind Devil.¡±

    Even though Faceless was furious with his brash actions, he dared not say anything offensive against a representative of Talon, the strongest apostle group of Northen China. He could onlyugh in response.

    Following that, more participants started making their way in. The customers included apostles, businessmen, politicians and even some mysterious figures. It was bustling with noise.

 Chapter 449: The Observation

    <h4>Chapter 449: The Observation</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Purple Sabre Fairy sauntered down the magnificent lobby with his eyes scanning one person after another.

    As the core member of the most influential apostle organization in Southern China, Ivory, Purple Sabre Fairy¡¯s objective for this trip was to recruit more cats for his organization.

    By manipting the mortals with his power, the leader of Ivory, Death Prophet, had elevated his organization¡¯s standings amongst all fields. Conversely, their substandardbat powers had failed to catch up. Hence, Purple Sabre Fairy had his eyes set on the ultimate prize ¨C the King Pas¡¯s cat.

    After all, Mao Gang was infamous for their supercat auctions. Hence, there were bound to be other valuable supercats other than the King Pas¡¯s cat.

    While he was absorbed in his thoughts, Wind Devil started strolling towards him with a cup of martini in his hand and a devilish smile spread across his face.

    Purple Sabre Fairy met his smile with an intent re. Wind Devil was one of Talon¡¯s ace warriors. He had been exceptionally active the past few months. Even the southern apostles had learned about his atrocities.

    However, Wind Devil started acting all friendly and inched towards Purple Sabre Fairy before whispering into his ears, ¡°Hey, loosen up. This is supposed to be a happy event. Try to smile.¡±

    Purple Sabre Fairy¡¯s cool voice contrasted against Wind Devil¡¯s enthusiasm, ¡°Is Talon also here for the Super Pas¡¯s cat?¡±

    ¡°I guess so,¡± Wind Devilughed along as he switched his gaze to a corner of the hall, ¡°Do you see that guy over there?¡±

    Purple Sabre Fairy turned his head around only to see a group of men with chins full of beard, dressed in authentic Chinese robes. They were the quintessential country bumpkins. Somehow, there was a huge tiger resting by their side. However, it instantly turned into an orange cat which started purring in one of the men¡¯s¡¯ arms when he caressed it.

    Wind Devil cautioned, ¡°This is Prince Zazabi of the neighboring OPEC countries. That cat there is Z. It has the power to turn into a tiger. Based on our intel, this tiger is as strong as a military tank. Any ordinary bullets cannot prate its thick skin. It¡¯s famous in its country. The bearded man beside him must have borrowed his power. He too can transform into a tiger.¡±

    Purple Sabre Fairy¡¯s eyebrow shot skyward, ¡°How did you acquire all these information?¡±

    A sinister smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he replied, ¡°That¡¯s not the only information that I have.¡± He directed his attention to a group of Caucasians dressed in an immacte white suit and continued, ¡°These apostlese from Maine, US. They belong to an organization called Star Cats. Do you know where Maine is? I heard Maine Coon came from there.

    However, people only grew interested in that ce because the meteoritended there. Rumors say that the supercats there are significantly stronger than our average supercats. I¡¯m not sure who these apostles from Star Cats are, but they are definitely no pushovers.¡±

    The majority of the apostles knew that the meteorite responsible for the supercatsnded at Maine, US. Even Zhao Yao knew about it from Ho Hao Cang¡¯s mouth.

    Calmly, Wind Devil turned his head around and focused his attention on a group of Japanese, ¡°This is Yagyu Kazuihiko¡¯s eldest disciple. It is rumored that he had mastered his master¡¯s world-famous shadow maniption powers. By seamlessly integrating this ability with his perfect swordy, he holds the record for 29 consecutive kills.¡±

    ¡°Here we have thergest apostle group in India, the Samsara Sect, with its three apostle representatives. Their powers remain a mystery. Over here are the five apostles sent by the richest man of Singapore. Their powers are also unknown. However, we understand they were all ex-military personnel. The secret society of Singapore, Devine Intervention, is also here with their 12 apostles. We only know about their leader, Lee Hao Nan. His power is something like a metallic skin. Anyway, I do know a little about the powers here but one thing that I know for sure is that they are not to be trifled with.¡±

    Following his borate description, Purple Sabre Fairy¡¯s forehead began to furrow together.

    He finally let out a sigh before asking, ¡°How did you learn about all these?¡±

    Wind Devil chortled, ¡°That¡¯s because we have been busy collecting intel about all these infamous international organizations. Frankly, we are not as rich as Ivory. Hence, our original n was to steal all their cats in one fell swoop.

    However, I knew that it was impossible the moment Inded here. All of them meant business.¡±

    Purple Sabre Fairy struggled to suppress his worries. The rumors spreading regarding Talon were true. All the apostles there were lunatics. He was d that the leader of Ivory was so much more rationalpared to them. He was more aligned with the modern world and they never had to worry about mary problems.

    However, judging from the characters in this auction, it was highly likely that he would fail to secure his objective.

    ¡°There are so many dangerous apostles lurking around. If they decided to act together, they can instantly destroy an entire city.¡±

    Suddenly, Wind Devil continued his exnation, ¡°Purple Sabre Fairy, to tell you the truth, there is no chance of either Talon or Ivory bringing home the King Pas¡¯s cat if we acted alone. We don¡¯t have enough money. You might be able to afford it but you can¡¯t bring it home. The rest will simply snatch it away before you return to China.

    Hence, I propose coboration. After all, isn¡¯t it better for a strong cat like the Super Pas¡¯s cat to return to our beloved homnd than the foreigners¡¯nd?¡±

    A moment of hesitation shed across Purple Sabre Fairy¡¯s eyes. The scale of this auction had far exceeded his estimations. He was confident in bringing the apostles down if it came down to a one-on-one fight. However, there were simply too many apostles here. Security was truly a problem.

    He stared at Wind Devil for a split second before he replied, ¡°Let me think about it.¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao¡¯s extradimensional gate remained erected in the middle of the auction hall. By hiding behind it, no one was even able to detect his presence.

    Currently, Zhao Yao had expended all 3 extradimensional gates. One was left in Faceless¡¯s mansion while the remaining two were used for him to run around. Now, they were both inside the auction hall.

    Diana and Lightning both copsed to the ground. Evidently, they were still in the midst of a struggle within the dream state.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s ears began to quiver as he listened intently to Wind Devil¡¯s words. Evidently, he was eavesdropping on their conversation.

    A line began to etch between his eyebrows as he learned about the abilities of the apostles around him and their stories.

    Originally, Zhao Yao was already rather somewhat furious with Mao Gang¡¯s practice. However, he then learned about their importance in establishingw and order in the supercat¡¯s world through Ye Mei¡¯s mouth. Hence, he decided to turn a blind eye to their actions as long as they did not cross the line.

    However, upon learning that they were using adolescents to fight their wars, Zhao Yao could no longer ignore their atrocities. mes of anger were literally shooting through him. He nned to report everything to Ye Mei once the matter was resolved.

    The Mao Gang was running an underground supercat trade.

    In fact, judging by the number of people at the auction, it was doing a really good job.

    The men Zhao Yao had eavesdropped on were from Talon and Ivory, two of the most active non-government apostle factions in the country. Representatives from overseas groups were in attendance as well. His ears picked up conversations between apostles from absurd groups like the Karma Cult, Heaven Sect, and Storm Organisation. These were all cabals of dissidents that wanted nothing more but wreak havoc.

    There was no way that the authorities would allow an auction for them to congregate. They obviously did not have as much control over the Mao Gang as they thought they did.

    Zhao Yao was pissed. He did not want these pesky factions to collect more supercats. He did not want them to grow any stronger. They would only stir s**t wherever they went and he would no doubt be called in to clear up the mess. They stood in the way of his simple, cker lifestyle of running the cat cafe and yingputer games.

    ¡°These noobs are the worst,¡± Zhao Yao thought, eyeing the people around him spitefully, ¡°They get a small taste of power and think they can run the world with it. Can¡¯t they just stay home and watch anime?¡±

    He stopped brooding when a new mission appeared on the panel.

    Sidequest: Sabotage the Auction

    Objective: Stop the Mao Gang¡¯s auction by seizing all the supercats they want to sell

    Reward: 3,000 experience points

    Punishment: None

    The pinch between Zhao Yao¡¯s eyebrows instantly rxed. He nodded in agreement. This was the perfect opportunity to gain experience points while conserving the well-being of his countrymen.

    He was determined to destroy this auction and squash the Mao Gang.

    Diana sat up suddenly.

    ¡°It¡¯s finally done,¡± she said.

    ¡°Oh?¡± Zhao Yao said, his eyes darting to Lightning, ¡°But I don¡¯t think he¡¯s woken.¡±

    Diana ambled towards the Pas¡¯s Cat and raised a dainty paw. She was about to stomp on his face when Lightning¡¯s own paw shot forward to stop her.

    When he opened his eyes, there seemed to be bolts of electricity in his pupils.

    He turned to the ragdoll with a smug smile.

    He chuckled, ¡°Diana, I¡¯m no longer the cat that you once knew. You will never be able to step on me again.¡±

    With just a small speck of strength, he managed to push her away. Diana had to take a few steps back to regain her bnce. She red at him.

    ¡°That was a dream, do you understand? Just a dream,¡± she reasoned.

    Lightning got onto his feet, his lips curled into the biggest smirk. He shed his shiny ws at Diana.

    ¡°You are the one who does not understand. The Pas¡¯s Cat King has imparted to me his electric powers. I have been awakened as the Super Pas¡¯s Cat. I am the embodiment of physical perfection! If you don¡¯t believe me...¡±

    Lightning clenched his raised hand. When he opened it again, electric sparks cackled in his palm.

    He let out a howl ofughter. ¡°Do you see this? This is the true power of the Super Pas¡¯s Cat!¡±

    Diana was taken aback. ¡°What? Have you really be so powerful overnight?¡±

    Zhao Yao, however, remained perfectly unconcerned.

    ¡°Alright, alright. Knock it off,¡± he said, ¡°Lightning, do you know where Red Packet is?¡±

    The Pas¡¯s Cat jumped in fright and took three steps back. He had no clue that Zhao Yao had been right beside him. However, as soon as he looked down at the jolt of power he held in his paw, all feelings of dread dissolved.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, I¡¯m no longer the cat that you once knew,¡± he repeated, ¡°I believe the Cat Nation has found its new king.¡±

    A thick, green vein bulged against the skin of Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead.

    ¡°You¡¯re an idiot,¡± he said to the cat coldly, ¡°Do you have a death wish?¡±

    Lightning burst into raucousughter.

    ¡°You don¡¯t get it, do you?¡± he asked, enjoying the surge of electricity that coursed through his body, ¡°You have no idea how strong I have be!¡±

    The cat seemed to erupt into blinding sh of light. When it was gone, he was dozens of meters away. With another sh, he had moved to another spot further away. It looked like the electric charged propelled him forward at lightning speed.

    ¡°See that? I¡¯m so fast that you can¡¯t even see me move!¡±

    In the next moment, the cat had appeared behind Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Too slow, Zhao Yao. Where are you look-,¡±

    Bam!

    Time stopped. Zhao Yao did not even nce at Lightning. He casually swung his arm backward, sending a punch his way.

    When time started again, the Pas¡¯s Cat let out a howl of pain. He tumbled backward, his paws against his nose.

    Zhao Yao flexed and extended his wrist. It felt perfectly fine aftering into contact with Lightning¡¯s spiky fur.

    ¡°You sure look menacing now, but you¡¯re still as harmless as before,¡± hemented.

    ¡°How dare you hit my nose!¡± the cat cried, ¡°Unforgivable! You¡¯ve forced me into this! I have no choice but to unleash the power to destroy this Earth...¡±

    Countless electric currents began to circle him, ensnaring him in an orb of blue lighting. Sparks were ignited within the orb, bouncing from one corner to another. They eventually congregated in Lightning¡¯s paws, which released two blinding beams of light.

    ¡°Witness the unbridled power of the Pas¡¯s Cat -,¡±

    Bam!

    Time stopped again. When the seconds started ticking, Zhao Yao had appeared right before Lightning. He had one foot pressed against his head, shoving his face into the ground. He looked terribly cross.

    ¡°Listen here. You can generate as much light as you like, but it¡¯s all just static. You can¡¯t even make a tear in my shoes with it.¡±

    Bam!

    Zhao Yao lifted his foot, then brought it down harder. ¡°Now, tell me where Red Packet is.¡±

    ¡°Scumbag!¡± Lightning yelled, quickly worming out from under Zhao Yao¡¯s foot, ¡°You¡¯ve made me really, really mad now.¡±

    He let out a roar as he balled his paws into tight fists, his face raised towards the sky. The electric bolts that surrounded him grew brighter still. From a distance, it looked like a blue aura was radiating off him.

    ¡°He..,¡± Diana stammered, clearly in shock, ¡°He¡¯s starting to grow hair!¡±

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes. The once milky, smooth skin was gradually obscured by rapidly generated fur.

    ¡°See that? The electric currents have unlocked my potential! They have stimted my growth!¡± Lightning called out, ¡°I am the Super Pas¡¯s Cat!¡±

    The blue light was zing. Every hair that he had lost had been regrown in a matter of seconds. They were wafting in the air, fanned open like a peacock¡¯s tail, magnificent as a lion¡¯s mane.

    Zhao Yao was beginning to doubt his judgment, ¡°Has this guy really been awakened?¡±

    Lightning let rip another roar, but it quickly iled into a pitiful cry of pain.

    His hair, which had been floating weightlessly, now stood on their ends and resembled steel needles. He fell to the ground, looking very much like a hapless sea urchin.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s momentary doubt was cleared immediately.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± he asked the cat.

    Lightning did not respond at first.

    When he spoke, his words came out breathlessly, ¡°Zhao...Zhao Yao...save...save me.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡±

    Lightning trembled. ¡°My...my butt....a hair on my butt has pricked my...my crotch.¡±

    Zhao Yao took one look at the cat. A trail of blood had started to trickle down his bum.

    He shook his head, ¡°Once again, you have proven your power to bepletely useless.¡±

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    With a heavy sigh, Zhao Yao reached out for Lightning.

    He could feel how bristled the cat¡¯s hair had be as his fingers grazed against their tips. They were as solid as needles and almost as sharp. There was an odd ringing in his ears as a surge of electric currents traveled from Lightning¡¯s body to his.

    ¡°Ah!¡±

    Zhao Yao copsed onto the floor with a loud thump. Blood started to seep through the cloth covering his underarm and crotch regions.

    ¡°What in God¡¯s name was that?!¡± he fumed.

    Lightning answered his question seriously, ¡°That was the Super Pas¡¯s Cat¡¯s Super Static. Any hair thates into contact with my Super Static will be as sharp and dangerous as the best needle in the world!¡±

    ¡°F**k,¡± Zhao Yao cursed under his breath, taking a deep breath.

    He quickly switched to Lucifer¡¯s healing powers before he embarked on the unpleasant task of removing the bristled hairs that had lodged themselves into his skin. The process should have been nasty, but it ended up feeling pretty darn good thanks to the Pleasure of Pain.

    Zhao Yao threw the dirtiest look at Lightning as he carried out the removal.

    ¡°So,¡± he started, ¡°Where exactly has Red Packet run off to? Who took you?¡±

    The helpless sea urchin / Pas¡¯s Cat hybrid replied earnestly this time, ¡°The Mao Gang! Their men took us! They separated Red Packet and I. I don¡¯t know where they took him.¡±

    He went on to recount a summarized version of what had happened. At the end of the tale, Zhao Yao had a good understanding of the two cats¡¯ ordeal. He had also managed to painstakingly pluck every single hair that was wedged in his skin.

    There was a malicious glint in his eye when he spoke, ¡°Good job, Mao Gang, for illegally trading supercats, swindling and abducting children, and reducing me to a hair-plucking mess. You. Are. Dead. Each and every one of you!¡±

    He was furious. His resentment towards the gang had taken a very personal turn. He was determined to save Red Packet first, then destroy the organization.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s knitted brows rxed suddenly, as if he had just thought of something. He turned to Diana.

    ¡°Did you see what I was doing?¡± he asked her.

    Diana widened her eyes at him, momentarily lost for words. In the next moment, she had fallen to the ground, fast asleep.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyesnded on the fat cat, whom started trembling with fear.

    ¡°I saw nothing! I know nothing!¡± he stammered immediately.

    Satisfied, Zhao Yao shifted his attention back to Lightning.

    ¡°You. Why do you still look like this?¡± he asked, motioning at his sea urchin appearance.

    Lightning was close to tears, ¡°The currents I released just now were too strong. I don¡¯t think I can ever return to normal.¡±

    ¡°Idiot.¡±

    Zhao Yao was not in the mood to help the poor cat, at least for now. There were more pressing matters at hand. The first thing he did was to recall the supercat squad. There was no need for them to find Red Packet anymore. He was in the hands of the Mao Gang. As Matcha, Ares, Elizabeth, Sphynx Cat, and the rest started returning to the extradimensional belly, he warned them to stay away from Lightning.

    After that, he headed straight for the dimension doorway that was ced in Faceless¡¯s home. He thought that Red Packet could be hidden there, but that suspicion was ruled out after a re of the chateau. The cat was nowhere to be seen. In fact, the entire building had been vacated.

    This was a result of Zhao Yao¡¯s little hotpot fiasco. When Pebble brought the supercats back here, Faceless instructed her to hide there elsewhere. He was notfortable with the idea of keeping his precious cats here in case that pesky little twat returned.

    Zhao Yao returned to the manor and watched the people milling in and out of the room.

    He thought, ¡°Red Packet is with them, but I have no idea where they have kept him. He is neither here nor in the mansion.

    Faceless would know where he is, but there are too many apostles protecting him. I don¡¯t know what his powers are either. If I attacked him now, I could fail.

    The wise thing to do would be to focus on finding Red Packet. They seem to see him as a prized possession, so he could very well be kept together with the rest of Faceless¡¯s supercats. If I can find all these cats, I would be able to confiscate the superpowers they lent the Mao Gang. Defeating them then would be a piece of cake.

    Guess I¡¯ll have to find the weakest link to divulge Red Packet¡¯s location.¡±

    Zhao Yao used his deflective field to lift Lightning in the air.

    ¡°Look around,¡± he instructed, ¡°Which of these people here will know Red Packet¡¯s whereabouts?¡±

    Lightning blinked his eyes and scanned the surroundings carefully. They widened when he spotted a familiar someone.

    ¡°There! That one with a scar on his face!¡± he eximed, ¡°He¡¯s the one who took us. He was in charge of keeping watch on us too. He¡¯ll know where Red Packet is.¡±

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes. He had a n, ¡°What do they call Red Packet around here?¡±

    Centipede moved past throngs of people to reach the bathroom. He stood before a urinal, just about to have a wee, when Faceless¡¯s voice called out to him from the cubicle him.

    ¡°Well, Centipede, you¡¯ve been doing quite well recently.¡±

    A tremor ran down Centipede¡¯s spine. He did not expect that his leader was in here too and that he would start chatting with him. He let out a nervousugh and nodded enthusiastically, ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to you and your guidance of course.¡±

    He found that he was no longer able to pee. Faceless¡¯s presence made him too nervous to do so.

    Faceless continued speaking, ¡°Centipede, are all arrangements for the fortune catplete?¡±

    There was a short pause.

    ¡°Erm,¡± he started, ¡°I believe it is now under the custody of your personal guards, isn¡¯t it?¡±

    There was another pause, this one longer than the one before. The silence made Centipede nervous.

    ¡°Boss? Boss? Are you still there?¡±

    He never got his answer. In the next moment, his five senses were robbed and his unconscious body fell through a dimension doorway. Zhao Yao had been the one talking to him all along. He had hoodwinked him by conjuring Faceless¡¯s voice.

    Centipede had given him the information he needed to move on to the next step. He appeared next to Faceless and created the illusion that his phone had vibrated with a new text message.

    Faceless fished his phone out and unlocked it to read the fake message. Zhao Yao quickly pocketed that phone and reced it with another one.

    Faceless remained perfectly oblivious.

    It was tempting to just attack him now, but Zhao Yao reminded himself that he did not know what powers he opponent might have up his sleeve. He forced himself to stick to the n. He had to rescue Red Packet first. He was now very confident that the cat was kept with the rest of Faceless¡¯s treasured supercats, so this was crucial to do first. Once they were rescued, he would be able to do whatever he wanted.

    Zhao Yao quickly scrolled through Faceless¡¯s contact list. He tried to recall the different tasks that the children were assigned, ¡°Pigeon was sent to the auction. Peacock stayed by his side. That leaves Pebble to keep an eye on the cats.¡±

    After a moment of deliberation, he fired a message to Pebble, ¡°We¡¯ve beenpromised. Bring all the supercats back to the mansion now.¡±

    The reply was instantaneous, ¡°Ok.¡±

    Zhao Yao let out a sigh of relief.

    ¡°Well, that went well. He¡¯s a kid after all. He probably doesn¡¯t suspect a thing. All I have to do is wait at the mansion. Leaving that dimension doorway there was a good idea,¡± he thought to himself.

    Just then, the lights in the great hall dimmed.

    The auction had begun.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s brows furrowed. He remembered his sidequest very well. Rescuing the supercats was only one part of it. He had to stop the auction too.

    He concocted a n quickly. First, he moved the dimension doorway in the mansion to the front door. This allowed him to spot Pebble and the guards the moment they returned even while he remained physically in the extradimensional belly.

    With the doorway in ce, he rocketed to the entrance of the underground warehouse. The supercats that would be auctioned tonight were all congregated there.

    Zhao Yao summoned a deflective field to grab Lightning from inside the belly and dumped him by the warehouse.

    One of the muscr guards situated by the door stared at the weird-looking creature, dumbfounded.

    ¡°Why is there a massive sea urchin here?¡±

    He walked up to the creature and reached for it.

    The moment he touched the cat, the man let out a cry of pain and fell to the ground.

    Another guard rushed to him when he heard themotion. He looked at the man kneeling on the floor, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡±

    ¡°My...my hair...¡±

    The guard stepped forward to help him up, but he copsed as well with a shriek when his fingers grazed his skin. He inhaled deeply.

    Lightning snarled at the two men.

    Like them, he was bleeding as well. However, there was no pain in his face. His expression was scarily icy.

    ¡°Experience the true power of the Super Pas¡¯s Cat. You¡¯re in for nothing but despair now,¡± he said.

    <h4>Chapter 452: Who in the World are You?</h4>

    A blonde with bright blue eyes rushed towards the men doubled over in pain.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you alright?¡±

    The two men shouted at the same time, ¡°No!¡±

    Unfortunately, it was toote. The blonde had reached for them. A sick, scratching sound was heard as his now needle-sharp body hair tore through the seams of his shirt. He joined the men on the ground with a yelp. Blood had also started streaming from his pants.

    With more and more of his men falling like dominoes, Faceless was called to the scene. He gawked at them.

    ¡°What is this? Why are they on the ground, bleeding all over themselves?¡± he asked.

    He extended a hand to help one of the men up, but was immediately stopped by a bodyguard.

    ¡°Boss, you can¡¯t touch them,¡± he warned, ¡°Once you make contact with them, you¡¯ll meet the same fate.¡±

    Faceless retracted his hand as if he had touched a burning stove. There was a grave expression on his face as he turned to the bodyguard, ¡°What happened to them exactly?¡±

    A pause followed. The bodyguard leaned by his ear and exined the situation in hushed tones. As he spoke, Faceless¡¯s eyes grew as round as marbles.

    ¡°You must be joking,¡± he said in disbelief, ¡°How is it possible that such a stupid superpower exists?¡±

    Lightning, who was hovering a short distance away, was deeply displeased by his words. He had brought even Zhao Yao to his knees! How dare this idiot deem his power stupid? Who did he think he was?

    He started protesting indignantly, ¡°Watch your mouth, weakling! Whose powers are you calling stupid? If you think you¡¯re better than me, why don¡¯t youe touch me and have a taste? Come, I dare you!¡±

    As usual, not a person could understand what he was squawking about. All they could hear was impassioned meowing. The supercats in the warehouse, however, heard every word. These were the cats that would be auctioned off tonight.

    ¡°Who¡¯s this guy?¡±

    ¡°I think he just defeated those Mao Gang men single-handedly.¡±

    ¡°Fools. That¡¯s no cat. I¡¯ve spent years collecting protection money at the seafood market, so I know my underwater creatures. That¡¯s most definitely a sea urchin.¡±

    The Pas¡¯s Cat King started to stir as the murmuring grew louder. His eyes snapped open. He looked around in disbelief. There were so many men immobile on the ground.

    ¡°Static Pas¡¯s Cat, is it you? Is this your work?¡± he called out, ¡°Did you really... Have you really...¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± Lightning replied simply.

    More blood was running down his butt, but he remained perfectly poised. Even the arrogance in his voice was still there.

    He exined to the King, ¡°After you have passed your powers to me, I was awakened as the Super Pas¡¯s Cat. Do not fear. As long as I am here, the Mao Gang would not darey a finger on you.¡±

    The Pas¡¯s Cat King was ovee with emotion when he spoke next, ¡°I never thought I would live to see this d -,¡±

    Meow!

    Lightning interrupted him with a loud yowl. A few bodyguards had surrounded him, each one holding a baton. They used it to whack him repeatedly, shoving him out of the warehouse in the process.

    The pain from the beatings,bined with the pins of hair stabbing his flesh, was unbearable. Lightning could not help the screams that escaped his mouth.

    ¡°Despicable! Ganging up on me with your batons! You¡¯re nothing more than a bunch of scumbags! I dare you to hit me again!¡±

    By then, themotion had drawn a small crowd to gather by the entrance. The guests started whispering to each other as they cast furtive nces at the men on the floor and the blood that had pooled around them.

    Faceless was quick to step up and offer an exnation, ¡°Everyone, there¡¯s no cause for concern. One of our supercats had attacked our staff, but everything is now under control. You can see for yourself how brutal this particr cat¡¯s power is. The good news is this cat will up for auction tonight. Those of you who are interested stand a chance to take him home...¡±

    Zhao Yao, who stood between the threshold of the doorway, heard Lightning¡¯s screams as well. There was no way that he would allow those men to bully him.

    Just as the bodyguards thought that there was no way out for the sea urchin, Zhao Yao extended his deflective field to grab Lightning. Then, he flung him across the room.

    In an instant, Lightning had be a shadow that rocketed across the room, slicing through them as they screamed in agony. One by one, they fell to the floor, fresh blood sttering against the walls and the ground.

    Lightning eventually fell as well with a thud. He had regained hisposure by then.

    ¡°Weaklings,¡± he spat.

    The Pas¡¯s Cat King watched the racket in awe.

    ¡°Such power!¡± he marveled, ¡°The Super Pas¡¯s Cat is the paragon of strength! He can take down so many opponents at once!¡±

    His daughter, Neoma, was cheering in excitement, ¡°Lightning is the best!¡±

    The cat in question could not help but giggle.

    ¡°My dear Neoma, you have seen nothing y ¨C Ah!¡±

    When Lightning exerted just an ounce of strength, his entire body was gripped with pain. He crumpled back onto the floor.

    ¡°Lightning, are you alright?¡± Neoma eximed.

    He gritted his teeth and put up a front, ¡°I¡¯m fine, Neoma, just fine. Don¡¯t talk to me. Don¡¯t waste your time on me. I¡¯m like a cloud drifting in the sky. I could never stay in one ce or with one cat.¡±

    ¡°He is so cool,¡± she sighed, clearly infatuated.

    Faceless, on the other hand, was far from impressed. His expression turned quite sour as he took in the dozens of people on the ground, among them guests.

    ¡°Where does this idiotic cat get his power from?¡± he wondered.

    There was a glimmer in his eye when he noticed that there was a survivor left standing. One of his female bodyguards was still standing. Her blonde hair had stiffened and stood on their ends, very much like Goku¡¯s when he went Super Saiyan. However, she did not look at all ufortable or hurt.

    ¡°This...¡± he muttered.

    The gears in his mind clicked into ce. He instructed the woman to grab Lightning. As he suspected, no harm came to her when she did so. She held the cat and brought him back into the warehouse with no difficulty.

    Lightning was visibly in shock.

    ¡°How is this possible?¡± he thought, staring up at the woman, ¡°How is she immune to my static powers? Who in the world are you?¡±

    Faceless heaved a sigh of relief as the prickly cat disappeared from view.

    ¡°To think that such a power exists on our earth,¡± he mused, ¡°Seems like I better get a full body wax after this. That¡¯ll be one weakness taken care of.¡±

    Having been captured by the enemy, Lightning started calling Zhao Yao for help. Unfortunately, he received no response because Zhao Yao¡¯s attention was trained on Faceless¡¯s mansion.

    Pebble was back.

    The boy had barely entered the house when he heard odd sounds from behind him. He turned around to see that his guards had fallen to the floor, fast asleep. Even the supercats in the pet carriers were passed out.

    For some reason, Elizabeth¡¯s power did not work on Pebble. Zhao Yao stepped out of the dimension doorway so he could take a closer look at him.

    He tilted his head in question, ¡°Hmm? Are you one of the Fantastic Four?¡±

    Pebble did not look like he was made of flesh and bone. Instead, his body was constructed with little rocks and pebbles, much like The Thing. This could be why Elizabeth¡¯s powers failed to affect him.

    ¡°Are you always in this state? Is it exhausting to maintain all of...that?¡± Zhao Yao continued.

    Pebble did not bother gracing him with an answer.

    Instead, he retorted, ¡°Who are you? You must have a death wish to pick a fight with the Mao Gang.¡±

    Zhao Yao responded by unleashing a blinding beam of golden light. A pair of palms appeared in its glow. They grabbed Pebble¡¯s head and pummeled it into the ground.

    In the next moment, the mansion began to crumble ande apart. Figures started running, leaping, and even flying out of the copsing building.

    Time stopped, then started again. When it did, the figures had all fallen to the ground like birds shot out the sky.

    Pebble and the guardsmen were down.

    Zhao Yao peered into the pet carriers that they had brought. In them were six unconscious supercats. Red Packet was among them. He decided that the best thing to do for now was to hide them all in the extradimensional belly.

    When he stepped foot into the belly, his own supercats started calling for him desperately. They had been watching the warehouse keenly through the dimension doorway.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao! Lightning has been taken away!¡± Matcha eximed.

    ¡°I know. Don¡¯t worry, I got this,¡± he replied coolly.

    He studied the cor that sat on the base of Red Packet¡¯s neck. He used the deflective field to give it a gentle squeeze, shattering it into pieces.

    Next, he turned his attention to the rest of the sleeping supercats.

    A red glow illuminated his eyes, ¡°Time topel them to take back whatever powers they¡¯ve loaned to the Mao Gang.¡±

    Once that was taken care of, he headed for the doorway by the warehouse, phone in hand. There was no signal in that basement store, but his other doorway opened into Faceless¡¯s mansion, which kept him connected to his cellrwork.

    He considered what he was about to do next and felt that it was only right to give Ye Mei a heads-up first. He tapped on her contact, sending her a request for a video call.

    Ye Mei epted it within the first few rings. She sounded groggy and not at all pleased.

    ¡°Hello? What¡¯s going on? What¡¯re you calling me up for?¡±

    Zhao Yao adjusted his phone such that the camera was trained squarely on the scene outside the dimension doorway.

    ¡°This,¡± he started, ¡°Is where the Mao Gang is holding an auction -,¡±

    His sentence was cut short by a loud gasp from Mei Ye.

    ¡°Goddammit!¡± she hissed, ¡°How did you end up there? What the hell do you think you¡¯re doing? If they found out that you somehow snuck in, you could be in a lot of trouble.¡±

    She had been disoriented just seconds before, but she was now fully awake and nursing a terrible headache. This idiot was a real pain.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to wait? The Mao Gang will find your cat for you. Why¡¯d you go behind my back and pull this stunt?¡± she demanded, exasperation seeping from every pore.

    Zhao Yao could not help but roll his eyes.

    Bright lights began to pour from the doorway,pletely obstructing Ye Mei¡¯s view of the warehouse. When the lights were gone, she had a perfect view of the auction hall.

    ¡°The Mao Gang has gone rogue. This isn¡¯t just any auction. Look around. These are apostles from dissentient factions all around the world. I¡¯m pretty sure the authorities would never sanction something like this.¡±

    Ye Mei was quick to defend the people that she trusted, ¡°What the heck are you talking about? The Mao Gang would never do that. This must be some kind of misunderstanding...¡±

    Her words, which had tumbled out of her mouth so quickly and confidently, began to slow as she watched the video stream. She could only recognize five or six of the apostles in the auction hall, but that was enough to prove that Zhao Yao was telling the truth.

    ¡°Storm Organization...Ivory...Talon...even Star Cats. And Faceless!¡±

    There was a sharp intake of air when she spotted her ally on the screen. When she spoke next, it was through gritted teeth, ¡°Where are you? Hang in there. I¡¯ll send backup right away.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t need backup,¡± Zhao Yao replied, ¡°I¡¯m only calling you to give you a heads-up. I¡¯m going to destroy the Mao Gang. Just help me clean up the mess when I¡¯m done. Oh, one more thing. You can head to Faceless¡¯s mansion in the meantime. I¡¯ve left some of his cronies unconscious there. I¡¯ll text you the address.¡±

    ¡°Hey! What are you talking about? What are you thinking of doing? Hello? Hello?!¡±

    Zhao Yao hung up. He switched off his phone as well for good measure. Then, he moved the doorway back to its original position by the warehouse.

    Thanks to the diversion caused by Lightning, the auction was dyed and was only just about to begin. A group of employees was about to take the first supercat up the hall.

    Zhao Yao let loose a wave of Five Senses Deprivation, instantly knocking out most of the supercats left in the basement. A handful of them remaining standing. He had no idea how, but he needed to hurry them into the belly.

    ¡°Ares, Sphynx Cat,¡± he called out, ¡°Bring all of them in.¡±

    The two cats tore through the room like a couple of tigers, tossing cat after cat through the dimension doorway. Those who remained unconscious did not stand a chance against them. They were swiftly cuffed and flung in as well.

    Zhao Yao nodded with satisfaction as the basement began to empty. With the supercats safely out of the way, he could focus entirely on taking down the gang.

    He had not thought about what he should do with the cats. It was impossible for him to take in so many of them, but he could not just set them loose right now. The result would be catastrophic.

    He woulde up with something once this was over.

    ¡°I¡¯ll just ask the cats where they want to go,¡± he decided for now.

    *

    While Zhao Yao robbed the auction of its cats, a covert operation was being put together in ¨¹r¨¹mqi.

    Ye Mei had changed out of her pajamas and was storming out of her house, screaming into her phone, ¡°That man is insane! Just insane! Does he think he is an Avenger?¡±

    She was on the phone with Old Wei, one of her supervisors. He was not as angry as she was, but he was obviously irked as well.

    ¡°Alright Ye Mei, calm down,¡± he said, ¡°Has he sent you the address?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve just forwarded it to you. We must send a team there immediately. When that idiot gets caught, Faceless might get spooked and run. It¡¯ll be an utter embarrassment if he slips from our fingers.¡±

    The entire situation was nothing short of catastrophic. The department had ced their trust entirely in the Mao Gang and Faceless had yed them for a fool. It was a massive mistake. The only way to rectify it was to apprehend him.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ve got the address,¡± Old Wei paused for a moment, ¡°Huh. It¡¯s outside the autonomous region. I¡¯ll send men over, but don¡¯t get your hopes up. We don¡¯t have jurisdiction there, so I can¡¯t send the military, just some apostle officers. We might not be able to seize Faceless...¡±

    Ye Mei did not say anything, but worry clouded her face. Both her and Old Wei felt that Daniel Wu had as good as signed his own death warrant.

    On its own, the Mao Gang was powerful. They were, however, not alone. Apostles from the biggest factions were at the auction too. They made up an invincible force that necessitated a small army to tackle.

    They had an army, but they could not send it to such a sensitive area. Even with the officer apostles as backup, there was no way they could defeat them all. The best they could do now was to evade everyone else and just bring Faceless back to headquarters.

    Ye Mei had a very bad feeling that not many of them will return in one piece.

    ¡°God! Why can¡¯t that scumbag just wait to strike when we¡¯re back on home ground?¡± she spat into the phone, ¡°I¡¯m on my way too. Wait for me.¡±

    With that, she started rocketing towards the city, her legs moving as quickly as the pedals of a speedboat.

    The guests seated in the hall were beginning to show signs of impatience.

    A severe creased was wedged between Faceless¡¯s eyebrows. He turned to the men next to him and said, ¡°Get someone to check why the cats still aren¡¯t here.¡±

    Not one person in the Mao Gang knew that Pebble and his guardsmen had been ambushed or that the basement was being emptied. Just as a couple of them were sent to check on the warehouse, Zhao Yao had already collected everyst one of the supercats. He immediately stepped through the dimension doorway, which was transported to the very center of the hall.

    As he did this, the content on his mission panel was refreshed.

    Lightning and Red Packet had returned to the fold. The supercats that were about to auctioned off were also in the safety of the extradimensional belly. By aplishing both of these missions, Zhao Yao was awarded 500*2 and 3,000*2 experience points.

    ¡°Nice,¡± he grinned to himself.

    He was also given a brand new task, one that made himugh out loud.

    ¡°Oh boy, this is just perfect for me.¡±

    Sidequest: Despair

    Objective: Make Faceless feel your rage and give him a taste of real despair

    Reward: 100 to 1,000 experience points will be rewarded ording to the amount of despair experienced by Faceless

    Punishment: None

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyesnded on where Faceless was standing. The corners of his lips were lifted into a smirk.

    ¡°Well, you¡¯ve caused me a lot of trouble and even gotten me injured. I think I really should educate you on what despair feels like.¡±

    Matcha could not hear these thoughts in Zhao Yao¡¯s head, but he felt an evil aura radiating off his owner. He looked up at Zhao Yao, then followed his gaze to the man in the distance.

    He sighed knowingly, ¡°This guy is doomed. I wonder what Zhao Yao is up to this time.

    Within seconds, the bodyguards were seen racing back into the hall.

    ¡°Boss...¡± one of them panted, ¡°Boss, this is bad. The supercats are gone. All of them are gone.¡±

    ¡°What?!¡±

    Faceless felt slightly faint from the news, but he took a deep breath and forced himself to stay focused.

    ¡°Could you repeat what you just said?¡± he asked.

    The guard looked like he was close to tears as he spoke, ¡°The supercats in the warehouse are all missing. It¡¯spletely empty.¡±

    Faceless¡¯s vision became blurry for a second. He had to shut his eyes to steady himself. His entire body was still shaking when he opened them.

    ¡°Who?¡± he breathed out, ¡°Who could have stolen my cats?¡±

    As if in response to his question, Zhao Yao chose to make his appearance at that moment as the Headless Horseman. The ethereal light from the dimension doorway bathed him in a blinding, white glow.

    A mixture of shock and curiosity hung on the many faces in the audience. Faceless, however, was ring openly at him.

    ¡°Who¡¯s this joker?¡± he thought to himself.

    Zhao Yao did not avert his eyes. He stared right back and addressed him directly, ¡°So, Faceless, how does it feel to have your supercats stolen right under your nose?¡±

    Surprise crossed his face, but that quickly morphed into rage.

    ¡°You took my cats?¡± Faceless repeated incredulously.

    Zhao Yao had the audacity to chuckle lightly in response.

    ¡°Yep,¡± he said, making sure to pop the ¡®p¡¯, ¡°Every cat that was supposed to be auctioned off tonight is in my hands at the moment.¡±

    The revtion transformed the atmosphere in the hall. A buzz of excitement reced thetent curiosity of the crowd. Every apostle was now staring at Zhao Yao like he was a shiny treasure chest.

    ¡°Seize him!¡± Faceless cried.

    His apostles and guards immediately sprung into action, but found that they no longer had their superpowers.

    Peacock wore an expression of rm as he turned to Faceless, ¡°Boss, my powers have been taken from me. That guy...¡±

    Faceless paled.

    ¡°Ah, you just realized it, didn¡¯t you?¡± Zhao Yao said gleefully, ¡°I didn¡¯t just take the cats you wanted to auction off. I took the ones owned by your gang too.¡±

    Faceless felt his body grow limp. He brain was still reeling from the situation, but he could still muster the strength to re hatefully at the Headless Horseman from his seat.

    His fury pleased Zhao Yao tremendously.

    ¡°So, what do you think? Are you surprised?¡± he asked cheerily, ¡°I just want to assure you that this is not all I have in store. I¡¯m not just going to take your cats. I¡¯m going to take your money too. I want it all.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯sst sentence sounded oddly familiar to Faceless. Within seconds, something in his mind clicked.

    ¡°It¡¯s you?¡± he said incredulously, ¡°You¡¯re the hotpot man?¡±

    Zhao Yao raised an eyebrow, ¡°You can tell?¡±

    Then, he shrugged his shoulders nonchntly.

    ¡°Yeah, that was me,¡± he admitted, ¡°What can you do about it? I¡¯ve got your cats already. I¡¯m going to y with them every single day and spend everyst dime you own and you won¡¯t be able to do a thing about it. Tell me, does that make you angry? I think it does. You should be angry. I love seeing you angry.¡±

    Faceless was grinding his teeth in anger by now. He asked, ¡°What enmity lies between us? Why are you doing this to me?¡±

    ¡°You stole my cats. That is unforgivable,¡± Zhao Yao replied coldly.

    With that, he waved a hand in the air, expanding the deflective field to reach Faceless. He was going to fight him right here, right now. He had absolutely no regard for the crowd of apostles surrounding them.

    He was not worried about them. He had unleashed his full strength in the epic dreamscape battle and he had emerged from it with a newfound confidence in his powers.

    However, as the deflective field swooped right for Faceless, it failed to hit him. The impact seemed to avert him and traveled downwards instead, where it shattered theyers of tiles and cement beneath his feet.

    There was a hint of surprise in Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes, ¡°A superpower?¡±

    He had managed to revoke most of the men¡¯s superpowers by taking their cats, but it was obvious that Faceless still had his.

    For the first time since Zhao Yao¡¯s appearance, Faceless cracked a smile.

    ¡°Are you surprised?¡± he echoed his words, ¡°My own supercat is hidden in a ce that only I know of. You will never be able to catch him. With his power, I am undefeatable.¡±

    He turned to face the crowd and shouted, ¡°Attention, dear guests! Tonight, if any of you would do me the favor of killing this man here, I would gift to you all the supercats that were meant to be sold at this auction.¡±

    After he delivered his deration, Faceless shot Zhao Yao a look that was dripping with menace.

    ¡°You must have a death wish toe for me at an event like this,¡± he thought.

    He had never experienced the kind of hatred and rage that he felt for Zhao Yao at this moment. He had spent time, effort, and money to cultivate his empire and it was crushed in this idiot¡¯s hands. Without the supercats, his men could not fight and win. His guests, however, could. All he needed was a tantalizing, albeit false, lure for them to do the dirty work for him.

    The excitement in the crowd had hit fever pitch because of Faceless¡¯s promise. One by one, the apostles turned to face the Headless Horseman.

    This was a golden opportunity to capture the hundreds of the Mao Gang¡¯s supercats in one fell swoop. The only thing standing between them and the cats was this joker levitating a few feet from the ground.

    At first, no one made a move.

    However, their eyes were still firmlytched onto Zhao Yao, like a predator that had found its prey.

    Faceless¡¯s lips twisted into a malevolent grin, ¡°I lose my cats, you lose your life. Are you sure you still want to y?¡±

    His taunt prompted the apostles to take action.

    Shuiichi Nanno from the Storm Organization had his eyes trained on Zhao Yao. His fingers wereced around the handle of his long sword, which he slowly slid out of its sheath.

    The trio of white-robed apostles from Samsara Sect was looking at him as well, but their faces revealed no discernable emotion. They each pressed their palms together.

    There was unmistakable greed in Wind Devil¡¯s eyes as he studied Zhao Yao¡¯s figure. He spoke to Purple Sabre Fairy from the corner of his mouth, ¡°We¡¯ll take him down together. We¡¯ll split the cats evenly between us.¡±

    Purple Sabre Fairy did not respond. Instead, he had instinctively taken a few steps back. His eyebrows were knotted together.

    ¡°Haven¡¯t you heard of the Headless Horseman?¡± he asked quietly.

    Zhao Yao was unruffled by the stares that were fixed firmly on him. A hint of a smile yed on his lips when he said, ¡°Do you honestly think that this mishmash of foreigners will be able to defeat me?¡±

    ¡°Faceless,¡± he continued, ¡°The only reason I haven¡¯t swept them up and thrown them with the trash yet is so I can wait for you to get your hopes up, like you have now. Then, I can crush all of that hope into bits and make you feel what true despair is.¡±

    While most of the apostles in the crowd did not understand Zhao Yao because ofnguage barriers, those who did looked livid.

    Faceless merely shook his head with a snort ofughter. He did not believe a word of this madman¡¯s threat.

    He fell silent when he saw what Zhao Yao did next.

    With a jab of his finger, an invisible wave of energy spread across the hall like wildfire, pping every apostle it touched to the floor in an instant.

    Elizabeth¡¯s Five Senses Deprivation.

    Faceless¡¯s mouth fell open.

    He continued to gape as Zhao Yao lifted his finger, lifting the spell he cast on the crowd.

    ¡°Do you see this?¡± Zhao Yao started, ¡°If I wanted to, I can literally crush all these people with one finger. However, I won¡¯t do that because I want you to experience genuine despair. So...¡±

    In the next moment, every apostle in the hall was startled awake when they felt the immense pain of being pricked in the butt by needles.

    ¡°...I will hold back and give all of you one chance to fight me.¡±

    ¡°Come on, chop chop,¡± Zhao Yao said, looking down at his watch, ¡°You have 10 seconds. Make it snappy. I still have work tomorrow.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 455: Despair Part 1</h4>

    Once he was done speaking, Zhao Yao stole a quick look at the mission panel. Out of the maximum of 1,000 experience points, he had only chalked up 200 so far.

    He narrowed his eyebrows. ¡°This Faceless guy is unexpectedly resilient. I shall have to wear him down bit by bit.¡±

    An instant defeat would not enable him to milk this mission of all its worth. He theorized that the best way was to drive him deep into despair by repeatedly getting his hopes up, then dashing them every time.

    In the meantime, the apostles in the hall were still trying to piece together what had happened. The Headless Horseman had taken them down so quickly that they were not too sure what he did. All they knew for sure was that he was incredibly powerful.

    The greed and fervor in their eyes had transformed into fear and suspicion. No one dared to make a move even after all his trash talk. They were still recovering from the mysterious pain that jolted them awake.

    Their hesitance was nerve-wracking for Faceless. These apostles were hisst hope. Without them, nothing stood between the Headless Horseman and himself. He could not allow that to happen.

    ¡°Don¡¯t panic,¡± he said bracingly, ¡°If he¡¯s that good, he would¡¯ve skipped the smack talk and jumped straight into the fighting. It¡¯s obvious that he¡¯s hiding a weakness. Perhaps his power depletes after a short time.¡±

    His words were received with mixed responses. Some apostles seemed to buy it, some definitely did not. Others looked deep in thought. None of them moved or showed any signs of taking action first.

    These apostles were not friends or allies after all. Why would anyone sacrifice themselves be on the frontlines?

    Zhao Yao was starting to grow impatient.

    ¡°No one wants to go first?¡± he asked, ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll go first. Just so you know, none of you are getting out of here from this moment.¡±

    With a flick of his finger, the golden force field that surrounded him morphed into a beam of light. It rocketed through the air and rammed right into a Japanese apostle, whom spat a mouthful of blood as he flew across the hall.

    Zhao Yao then traced a horizontal line with his finger. This time, the beam of light transformed into giant waves of energy that swept past a group of other Japanese apostles, knocking them off their feet and onto their backs.

    This was, of course, just a small fraction of his powers. He had to hold back so that his opponents would harbor the hope that they could beat him.

    ¡± Bakayaro ,¡± Shuiichi Nanno cursed.

    He was ring at the Headless Horseman was burning rage. A sinister shadow had made its way around the katana that he was gripping, wrapping it in darkness.

    He lunged for Zhao Yao.

    While his mastery of the shadow powers was not yet on par with Ishida¡¯s, he was able to elegantly integrate them with swordy. His katana was specially designed to amodate that. Its unique protrusions ensured that shadows were always cast on the de, offering an endless pool of power to draw from.

    Shuiichi Nanno might not be able to be a shadow, but he can cause just as much damage as Ishida.

    The moment he stuck his katana towards Zhao Yao, hundreds of shadows emerged from, all heading straight for the target.

    The shadows moved swiftly,ing nose to nose with Zhao Yao in an instant. They were about to pierce right through him when he vanished and reappeared three meters away.

    Shuiichi narrowed his eyes, ¡°He can teleport too? Darn it.¡±

    In truth, Zhao Yao had simply moved the dimension doorway.

    There was an impish grin on his face as he sent dozens of golden energy waves through the air, this time at five apostles from Singapore. The men let out a roar of anger in unison as they wielded their lightsabers. They swung the lightsabers around, effectively blocking the iing onught. Only one of them was hurt. He took a few steps back as he hissed in pain.

    Once again, Zhao Yao was holding back. He wanted them to think that they stood a chance against him. Also, he had no wish toy all his cards on the table.

    Secrecy can keep an apostle alive. A person who knows all your powers knows your weaknesses too. This was why Zhao Yao had never unleashed all of them in real life. The only chance he could do so was in the dream, where witnesses would not be able to discern which powers were real and which were fake.

    To him, TimeFreeze and his ability to resurrect himself had to be kept secret. They were his trump cards.

    While the five men backed off, Shuiichi Nanno had not stopped trying to get to Zhao Yao. He continued to release shadow figures even though they were easily crushed by his opponent.

    He shouted at the Singaporeans, ¡°What are you waiting for? He¡¯s not going to let us off even if we surrender.¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s right,¡± one of the men said, ¡°We¡¯ve got to work together to take him down!¡±

    This seemed to tickle Zhao Yao, who startedughing joyfully.

    ¡°You should listen to him,¡± he advised the men, ¡°Come on, attack at the same time. If not, you won¡¯t even have a chance to escape.¡±

    He then flicked his finger again, producing hundreds of the same golden waves. They shot upwards, then started raining on the crowd like shooting stars.

    No one was safe.

    The rest of the apostles had no choice but to use their powers to protect themselves however they could. Some were screaming in fear, others in rage, and they released all that tension by attacking Zhao Yao atst.

    Faceless could not help the smile on his face.

    ¡°Yes! He¡¯s not God. With so many apostles charging at him at once, he¡¯s not going to survive!¡±

    His heart was brimming with hope.

    Zhao Yao dodged each and every attack that was sent his way.

    Shuiichi Nanno¡¯s voice could be heard despite themotion, ¡°He teleports! Aim for the areas where he could teleport to next! Listen to mymand!¡±

    Under his leadership, the mad scramble gradually transformed into a systematic attack. In no time, the apostles began to close in on Zhao Yao, reducing the amount of space he could jump to avoid them.

    The Singaporeans did not take part in the action. They scattered to five different spots in the hall. They were still holding onto their lightsabers, which were vibrating very violently. It was as if a tremendous amount of energy had been condensed in them and it was dying to be unleashed.

    They watched as the Headless Horseman was eventually forced into the center of the hall in a bid to dodge the string of attacks.

    It was time.

    Diran, one of the Singaporeans, struck as quickly and suddenly as a viper that had been lying in wait. The lightsaber in his hand flew straight up towards the ceiling, then barreled down at Zhao Yao.

    All along, he had been waiting patiently for the Headless Horseman to be close enough to attack.

    A sh of joy shone in Diran¡¯s eyes as the lightsaber was about to make contact with the top of Zhao Yao¡¯s head.

    ¡°My undting lightsaber can slice through army tanks like a knife through fruit! Once he¡¯s hit, he¡¯s a dead man!¡±

    His happiness was short-lived. Zhao Yao lifted a finger cloaked in gold above his head, effectively blocking the lightsaber from touching him. Army tanks might be powerless in the face of the undting lightsaber, but it was no match against the deflective field.

    ¡°What?¡± Diran gaped in disbelief.

    He was still processing what he was seeing when he felt an intense pain radiating from his chest. In the next moment, he was thrown off his feet and sent flying across the hall. He knocked through two walls beforending in a heap of cement and rubble, unconscious.

    Diran ¨C Out.

    His failure reverberated through the hall like a warning. The golden waves that fanned around the Headless Horseman suddenly seemed a lot more lethal than before.

    Shuiichi Nanno released a dozen more shadows. Together, they only managed to take down one ripple of Zhao Yao¡¯s energy waves.

    ¡°This is not good!¡± he yelled, worry spelled out clearly on his face, ¡°He¡¯s been hiding the true depth of his powers.¡±

    Garawa, another Singaporean apostle, was not going to let Diran¡¯s sacrifice be made in vain. He let out an angry huff before stepping forward to catapult his own lightsaber at Zhao Yao.

    Once again, Zhao Yao¡¯s hand shot up to his face to stop the lightsaber from reaching him.

    Garawa could only gawk as the Headless Horseman zoomed towards him at lightning speed, one hand crushing the lightsaber. When he appeared right before Garawa, the cylindrical weapon had been squashed into a ball of light.

    Wordlessly, Zhao Yao pressed the ball against Garawa¡¯s chest, flinging him across the hall.

    Garawa ¨C Out.

    At this point, the apostles¡¯ initial fear of Zhao Yao had been converted into determined rage. When onerade had fallen, more would take his ce.

    Three Middle Eastern apostles had metamorphosed into monstrous tigers that were at least five meters long. They ran alongside each other with their supercat, whom had also turned into a tiger. Together, they pounced at Zhao Yao, sinking their razor-sharp teeth in his waist, shoulders, neck, and calf.

    A look of triumph crossed their faces when they managed totch themselves onto the target, ¡°We got him!¡±

    Sharma, one of the apostles, was brimming with pride and excitement. He was indomitable as a tiger. The amount of strength, speed, and power he boasted increased tenfold whenever he transformed into the majestic animal. Once, during a fight back home, he had even crushed a tank in two with his fangs.

    Now that all four of them had their deadly incisors deeply embedded into the Headless Horseman, they intended to rip him into pieces.

    At the same time, the three remaining Singaporean apostles were ready to strike as well. There was hatred burning in their eyes as a burst of light radiated from their lightsabers, which shot out of their hands and hit Zhao Yao squarely on the chest.

    Faceless heaved a sigh of relief.

    ¡°Is he dead?¡± he asked, unable to keep the eagerness out of his voice.

    He craned his neck to look at Zhao Yao, who had not dodged the tigers or the lightsabers. Calmly, he raised his middle finger into the air.

    His voice, which was eerily calm, boomed through the hall, ¡°Do you know why I choose to remain here instead of avoiding your sorry excuse of an attack? It is because you can¡¯t even get past my defenses. I don¡¯t even need to run. Teleporting would just be a waste of energy.¡±

    Boom!

    Once Zhao Yao finished speaking, the golden aura around him swelled meteorically in size, unleashing hundreds of tonnes worth of energy. The four tigers were the first to be hit by the impact. There was a sickening crunch as their teeth were shattered into pieces. They let out feral roars of pain as they flew across the hall, blood sttering the horrified crowd.

    Zhao Yao then took a step forward, which generated enough force to dislodge the three lightsabers and send them rocketing back to their owners. The three Singaporeans were also promptly knocked off their feet and out of view.

    All Middle Eastern and Singapore apostles ¨C Out.

    All the color had drained from Faceless¡¯s face.

    ¡°How... How is it that we can¡¯t get past his defenses?¡±

    He fell deeper into despair as his hopes were dashed once more.

    Zhao Yao took this as an indication to check out his mission panel.

    ¡°600 experience points?¡± he eximed, ¡°Why, you¡¯re quite the buoyant fellow, aren¡¯t you?¡±

    Wind Devil was observing the battle with a look of disbelief on his face, ¡°Just how powerful is this guy?!¡±

    Shuiichi Nanno could see that many of the apostles were beginning to panic. He stepped in immediately and shouted, ¡°We¡¯ve got to keep steady. There is no such thing as an invincible power. As long we work together, we will be able to beat him.¡±

    Faceless quickly jumped in to add, ¡°Yes, yes, yes. Every superpower has its weakness. Hang in there and we will emerge victorious.¡±

    As the two men tried to encourage the apostles, Zhao Yao had begun to wade through the crowd, his entire being caged in the lethal golden aura. Some tried to attack him, but they were quickly swatted away like flies. He pped an apostle that tried to spit poison at him a few feet away and destroyed the slippery iceid out beneath his feet with a stomp,pletely disregarding the obstacles that stood in his way as he kept moving forward.

    Faceless looked positively cadaverous as Zhao Yao gradually made his way towards him, unperturbed by any power or apostle that was flung his way.

    Just as he thought that there was no way out, an apostle from Taiwan¡¯s triads appeared before Zhao Yao, blocking his way. This man was named Lee Hao Nan. At this moment, his body was not made of flesh and bone. Instead, it seemed to be entirely made up of silver. Every step he took cracked the tiles beneath him.

    Anyone whoy their eyes on him would have no doubt that he possessed an extraordinary amount of physical strength.

    Lee Hao Nan wasted no time to throw a punch at Zhao Yao, whom promptly blocked it with his palm. The impact of the collision was so great that it produced debris forces that extended to every corner of the hall.

    Each punch and kick that the Taiwanese apostle issued was met with a punch and kick of greater power. For Zhao Yao, this exchange was basically like hitting a metallic punching bag. For Lee Hao Nan, the blows he was receiving were bing quite unbearable. He had no choice but to take a few steps back. However, even has his metallic body began to be deformed from the heavy blows, he continued to cling to Zhao Yao with all his strength.

    ¡°I¡¯ll hold him in ce! You guys think about how to defeat him!¡± he shouted.

    ¡°Good!¡± Shuiichi Nanno nodded passionately, ¡°This cocky bastard thinks that we¡¯re not worthy? This ought to show him.¡±

    He then turned to his fellow apostles with a battle n, ¡°We¡¯ve got to strike at the exact same time. When we¡¯re all on him, he would not be able to teleport. His defenses might be strong, but there must be a limit to how much they can take. If we all attack him at once, he won¡¯t be able to take it.¡±

    It wasmon knowledge among apostles that it was impossible for a person to teleport with someone else in tow. This was a weakness that beset every apostle that was widely known to have this superpower.

    The apostles in the crowded nodded vehemently, their eyes trained on Zhao Yao.

    He surveyed the fierce faces that were turned to him. The apostles that posed the biggest threat to him were the trio from Samsara Sect, Wind Devil from Talon, and the Caucasians from Star Cats.

    The men from Samsara Sect stood close to each other as they raised their open palms up to the heavens. A ball of red energy rose from their hands like a tiny sun, radiating heat that reaches unbearable temperatures in little time.

    The representatives from Star Cats were not going to be bystanders either. Starlight emanated from their bodies and congregated into what looks like arge shooting star. As the wisps of light eventually solidified into a more concrete form, the objects surrounding it, from the dust and rubble on the floor to the chairs, began to levitate in the air.

    The fierce determination demonstrated by the apostles reignited Faceless¡¯s hope of victory.

    ¡°Yes! We can win! We can do this!¡± he thought.

    Wind Devil was preparing to join in the fight as well. Tornadoes of wind were precipitating in the palms of his hands. They were spinning faster and faster, belching hisses that sounded like pieces of metal grinding against each other.

    He snuck a peek at Purple Sabre Fairy, whom was lying on the floor, conscious but unmoving. His eyes were barely open so that he could catch glimpses of the battle while still appearing very much dead. Wind Devil could not help but give him a good kick.

    ¡°Are you just going to continue pretending to be dead?¡± he asked coldly.

    Purple Sabre Fairy did not respond. Instead, he inched surreptitiously away from Wind Devil, whom clicked his tongue in disapproval. He was about to say something else when something major happened on the battlefront.

    Zhao Yao reached down and gripped the top of Lee Nan Hao¡¯s head.

    ¡°Are you trying to hold me down? Did you really think you would seed?¡± he taunted.

    Wind Devil watched as Zhao Yao tapped a finger above Lee Nan Hao¡¯s left shoulder. What he and everyone else in the hall could not see was that a dimension doorway had appeared in the exact position that Zhao Yao¡¯s finger hadnded.

    This meant that Lee Nan Hao¡¯s body was outside of the door while his left arm had gone through it.

    Zhao Yao granted him ess through the doorway, then dragged him one step back.

    Lee Nan Hao let out a blood-curdling scream. So far, his metallic body could only be contorted, but not destroyed. This time, his left arm had been sucked into the portal while his body remained resolutely outside of it, held back by Zhao Yao.

    His arm had been ripped whole from his shoulder.

    Zhao Yao kicked the howling mess of a man away from him, then mmed his palm against the top of his head. He was instantly sent through the ground like a nail driven into wood by a hammer. All that remained was a hole on the floor and the pitiful wails that poured out of it.

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    There was a collective intake of breath as the crowd witnessed Lee Nan Hao¡¯s tragic end.

    ¡°What kind of power could have torn his arm like that?¡±

    ¡°How many superpowers does this monster have?¡±

    Faceless had dived into what felt like the deepest depths of despair so far, ¡°It¡¯s over. Even if everyone attacks him at once, he can still teleport to dodge it all.¡±

    Zhao Yao was grinning from ear to ear at the apostles, whom all looked absolutely terrified. He checked on his mission panel again, ¡°900 points? Cool. Almost there.¡±

    He motioned for the apostles toe closer by curling his finger towards himself.

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go. I¡¯m not going anywhere. I¡¯ll stand here and take your blows,¡± he announced.

    Shuiichi Nanno and the apostles from the likes of Samsara Sect and Star Catsunched themselves at him with a roar.

    In the next moment, countless superpowers were hurled at Zhao Yao. They created a spectacr disy of explosions and bursts of color.

    As promised, Zhao Yao remained rooted on the spot.

    Shuiichi Nanno was gawping at him, ¡°Is he really not going to run? His arrogance is inconceivable!¡±

    As the tsunami of powers crashed into Zhao Yao, swallowing him whole, Faceless could not help the bit of hope that surfaced in his heart.

    ¡°Is he dead?¡± he wondered.

    His unspoken question was answered when a group of apostles started shouting manically from the other side of the hall.

    ¡°It¡¯s no use! The attacks aren¡¯t working!¡±

    When the whirlwind of colors finally passed, Zhao Yao could be seen in the same position he wasst in, perfectly unharmed.

    No one could make sense of what was happening because they could not see the two dimension doorways that he had ced in front of and behind him. No matter which direction the powers wereunched from, they were captured and devoured by the portals.

    What they did see was far more shocking than the doorways.

    Zhao Yao opened his mouth as he turned his face to the ceiling, then proceeded to forcefully spew the attacks unleashed on him.

    These were the assaults that had been just been swallowed into the extradimensional belly. All kinds of sts, fireballs,sers, electromaic fields, and gravitational force fields had merged into one big beam of energy that shot upwards, decimating everything that stood in its way, from the ceiling to the furniture. It was like a ck pir leading straight to heaven.

    He had to regurgitate these superpowers. If not, the supercats in the extradimensional belly were about to face a terrible plight.

    ¡°This... What is this? Is he using our attacks against us?¡±

    ¡°Monster! He¡¯s a monster!¡±

    Even at this point, Zhao Yao had not unleashed the full extent of his powers, but the apostles had already reached breaking point.

    Purple Sabre Fairy, who had been sneaking nces at the battlefield, grabbed a fistful of dust on the ground and scattered it on himself, then proceeded to y dead.

    Wind Devil copsed on the ground next to him as well, eyes half opened so he can still catch what was going on.

    ¡°If you want to pretend to be dead, can you at least do it further away from me? I don¡¯t want to get caught because of you,¡± Purple Sabre Fairy said through gritted teeth.

    The rest of the apostles were either begging for mercy or attempting to flee, screaming their heads off. For the former, Zhao Yao used his illusory powers to deprive them of the five senses, leaving them unconscious. As for thetter...

    ¡°Sphynx Cat,¡± Zhao Yao called out telepathically, ¡°Knock out the ones who are trying to escape please.¡±

    The cat sprung out of the dimension doorway so swiftly that he appeared as nothing more than a ck figure. Each apostle he darted past, be it Shuiichi Nanno, the guys from Samsara Sect or the men from Star Cats, dropped like flies.

    Some apostles and supercats attempted to use their powers to escape. Sandstorm, for example, had curled up and stiffened into a rock that was rolling out of the ce.

    Unfortunately for him, this did not escape Sphynx Cat¡¯s notice. He scooped the rock into his paw and crushed it, knocking out Sandstorm, whom was still inside.

    With Sphynx Cat tying up loose ends, Zhao Yao had nothing more to worry about. He could focus on dealing with Faceless, whom he was sashaying towards. The terrified man was shaking visibly. He wanted to turn and run, but found that he could not. His legs had gone all wobbly.

    The sight of Zhao Yao expelling the superpowers from his mouth had shredded any hope that he had left.

    The n worked. Allowing him to think that the apostles stood a chance against him, then crushing him time after time, hadpletely broken his spirit.

    This time, when Zhao Yao looked at the mission panel, he noticed that the maximum of 1,000 experience points was reached. He instantly indicated that this sidequest wasplete, raking in 1,000 * 2 points.

    Faceless opened, closed, then opened his mouth again like a fish, ¡°I...¡±

    Zhao Yao simply smiled at him, then defeated the broken man of his five senses. He opened the dimension doorway to him and flung him inside.

    Faceless was a gang leader who had umted a substantial amount of personal wealth. Even if most of it would be frozen or seized by the authorities, he was bound to have secret ounts offshore that held tons of money.

    ¡°This little scare isn¡¯t punishment enough for what he did. He¡¯s got to pay for the mental and emotional damage he has caused me,¡± Zhao Yao thought to himself.

    He raised his head and surveyed the auction hall. There was no one left standing. He sent Elizabeth¡¯s power sweeping across the area, making sure that every person or cat, be it those who were beaten unconscious, feigning death, or already had their senses robbed, was well and truly knocked out.

    His work in the manor was done. All that was left was for Ye Mei and her team to clean up the mess.

    Zhao Yao stepped into the doorway and entered the extradimensional belly. He left the belly through the doorway that he ced at Faceless¡¯s mansion, invisible and with Roly Poly in tow. He had not removed the doorway he ced there, even though it would havee in handy during the battle.

    Once he verified that the police were there, examining the scene and digging through the rubble, he left for the airport.

    Zhao Yao knew that destroying the Mao Gang was not without consequences. For one, it linked him to the Headless Horseman. Inspector Ho already knew that he was looking for Red Packet and Lightning. Soon, he would find out that the two cats were taken by the Mao Gang, which had just been single-handedly crushed by the Horseman.

    Considering that Zhao Yao not only had a motive to go after the Gang, but also boasted superpowers that rivaled the Horseman¡¯s, it seemed very likely that they were the same person.

    This would not be the first time the Inspector suspected that he was the Horseman either. He started making the connections between them after the Cat Kingpetition and the peer lending tform incident. This one, however, might be the hardest to shake off.

    Zhao Yao had another concern as well. He had just introduced the mighty Headless Horseman to apostles from all over the world. They now knew that such a powerful individual existed.

    ¡°Normal, reasonably sane people would not try and find me after they¡¯ve seen what I can do. The idiots who do try ande after me will have to be dealt with even more severely,¡± he mused.

    A few hourster, he touched down in Jiangmen City and was back in his own neighborhood. The moment he got home, he dived back into the dimension doorway that he left at the manor. He waited for half an hour before Ye Mei arrived.

    She looked livid.

    Zhao Yao shrugged and said, ¡°All done. The men have been rounded up. They¡¯re all in there. If that¡¯s all, I¡¯m going to leave now.¡±

    ¡°You are a..,¡± Ye Mei started shouting at his retreating figure, but fell silent when he stepped through the doorway and vanished.

    Zhao Yao deliberately strolled past security cameras around his estate a few minutes.

    Still, two hourster, a report about him and the Headless Horseman would be delivered to the desks of a few high-ranking government officials. It described the powers that were showcased during the battle in the manor, but offered no exnation of how they worked. This was vexing, but perhaps the most distressing bit came at the very end of the report, where it stated that this man had managed to traverse thousands of kilometers in a matter of minutes.

    The only conclusion that was drawn was that it would be wise not to engage him as an enemy.

    ¡°We should be relieved that the most dangerous man on earth at the moment is an otaku.¡±

    At the same time, news of the failed auction and the subsequent capture of representatives from apostle factions had begun spreading like wildfire, burning its way through every corner of the world.

    Faceless was seated on the ground in the extradimensional belly, sandwiched between the three dimension doorways. From here, he could see what was on the other side of the doors. One of them led to the auction grounds that he had been in just moment before. The other opened into his mansion. The final one led to what looked like Jiangmen City.

    ¡°Is this how he teleports between ces that are thousands of kilometers apart?¡± he wondered, eyes darting from one doorway to another.

    He had not wrapped his head around exactly how the portals worked, but he understood what they could do.

    ¡°There¡¯s no way the authorities would try anything with this guy until they figure out how his powers work.¡±

    He let out a heavy sigh.

    His chances of being rescued by the government were slim to none. They would not risk hundreds of their men to save one person, much less someone like him. No one wasing to save him, no matter what atrocities the Headless Horseman might do to him next.

    Faceless allowed himself one final sigh. There was no use in wallowing in self-pity. The smart thing to do was to put aside the rage and hatred that was blistering within him and focus on survival.

    ¡°He had chosen to bring me here instead of killing me. This must mean that I must be of some use to him. If I worked hard and proved to him that I am valuable, he might continue to let me live.¡±

    Faceless repeated this mantra in his head as a way offorting himself while he waited for the Horseman to appear. Unfortunately, his captor never showed up. The only visitor he had was a fat cat that sauntered towards him with the haughtiest look.

    This was the cat that Zhao Yao had taken in for interrogation from ¨¹r¨¹mqi. He was a part of the gang now. Ares and the other supercats had even given him a new name. He was now known as Sun Xiao Tian.

    The fat cat cast his beady eyes at Faceless. He whipped out his smartphone and started typing on it. He used the text-to-audio function tomunicate with the man, ¡°Are you new here?¡±

    Faceless¡¯s instinctive response was to smack the cat with all his might, but he recalled his newfound mantra. He had to put all anger aside, keep his head low, and survive.

    ¡°Yes, I am. May I know who I am speaking to?¡± he asked politely.

    ¡°You can call me Mister Sun,¡± the cat narrowed his eyes at the man, ¡°New guy,e with me. From today, you are in charge of maintaining the cleanliness here, got it?¡±

    Faceless could not help the furrow in his brow.

    ¡°May I know what you are referring to when you talk about maintaining the cleanliness?¡± he probed, failing to conceal the annoyance in his voice.

    ¡°I¡¯m talking about the toilets.¡±

    Sun Xiao Tian pointed at the kitty toilets in the distance with one sharp w.

    ¡°Clean every toilet in there at least once a day. Make sure you empty the cat litter daily too, understand?¡±

    *

    When Zhao Yao returned to the extradimensional belly half an hourter, he found Faceless toiling over the toilets.

    His eyes widened in surprise.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡± he asked.

    Faceless looked at him earnestly as he replied, ¡°I¡¯m cleaning the toilets. Aren¡¯t all neers supposed to do that?¡±

    Zhao Yao was rendered speechless momentarily.

    Faceless took his silence as an opening for his next words, which he had put together carefully, ¡°I would like to be assistance to you. I am deeply apologetic for taking your supercats. That was entirely my fault and I am terribly sorry. I would like to offer youpensation for all the trouble I have caused. I have at least two hundred million US dors in my private ounts. I also have properties in other countries...¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up.

    This did not escape Faceless¡¯s notice. He could hardly contain the hope that was quickly swelling in his chest. He tilted his head towards the unconscious supercats behind him, ¡°And these cats...¡±

    ¡°Are mine,¡± Zhao Yao interjected.

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes. Of course,¡± Faceless noddedpliantly, even though losing these cats felt like having his front teeth kicked in by a horse, ¡°I can help you deal with these cats. The Mao Gang might be no more, but I still have my connections. You are not intending to keep all of them, are you?¡±

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes at him as he spoke, ¡°I. Do. Not. Sell. My. Cats.¡±

    ¡°Of course. I understand,¡± Faceless added quickly, ¡°But you must need an extra pair of hands to help you with the cats. I can be that person. I¡¯ll take care of them for you.¡±

    Zhao Yao did not respond to his proposition. Instead, he said, ¡°You still have one of my supercats.¡±

    Faceless¡¯s heart sank, but he made sure that his facial expression remained neutral.

    ¡°Yes, of course. That cat is in an apartment in ¨¹r¨¹mqi. I¡¯ll take you to him right now.¡±

    The next few hours were highly profitable for Zhao Yao bur very much the opposite for Faceless. They traveled out of Jiangmen City in order to transfer ownership of some of thetter¡¯s possessions to the former, starting with Faceless¡¯sst cat.

    When they entered the apartment, the supercat was lounging on the couch, ying a game on an Xbox. The controller was perched on his bulging tummy. The cat did not even steal a nce at the two men when they appeared.

    He only started whining when Zhao Yao unceremoniously tossed him into the extradimensional belly, but turned it down after the Xbox was brought in as well.

    The final stop of the day was the bank, where Faceless transferred the aforementioned two hundred million dors into Zhao Yao¡¯s ount.

    Zhao Yao could not stop grinning like a fool from the moment they left.

    He was not even interested in the remaining overseas properties anymore. Two billion dors, coupled with the recurring profit from the cat cafe, would guarantee that he was going to live very, veryfortably for the rest of his days.

    Now that the money was secured, Zhao Yao could focus his energies on dealing with Faceless and the hundreds of new cats in the belly. Also, he had to think about how to maximize the substantial amount of experience points he had earned.

    By shutting down the auction and the Mao Gang, he hadpleted three missions in one go. His Book was currently at Level 6 (26,902 / 20,000). This meant that he had enough to reach Level 7 and integrate the Sphynx Cat¡¯s powers as his own.

    In the end, Zhao Yao decided not to do so. Sphynx Cat was still growing steadily stronger as he trained, albeit at a slower rate than before. This was not the right time to level up. He was not in desperate need of such tremendous power anyway. It would be best to leave things as they were and allow the cat to continue training.

    All in all, the payoff was fantastic. The number of experience points he raked in was pretty impressive. He could level up his Book when the time was right. The dimension doorways had proven to be invaluable and quite unbeatable. He did not even have to touch any of the four revival cards he had carefully umted over time.

    Zhao Yao was in an excellent position right now.

    The supercats had been ruing experience points on their own as well, either through the Michelin-starred cat rice or bypleting their own quests:

    Matcha Level 7 (4,400 / 20,000)

    Elizabeth Level 6 (3,900 / 10,000)

    Dust Ball Level 8 (5,755 / 50,000)

    Ares Level 6 (4,800 / 10,000)

    Lucifer Level 6 (2,600 / 10,000)

    Sphynx Cat Level 5 (2,300 / 5,000)

    Even after reserving 20,000 points for upgrading the Book when the time was right, Zhao Yao still had an extra 6,902 experience points to use. He was not sure what to do about them. He could use them to level up Ares, Elizabeth, or maybe Sphynx Cat.

    ¡°Hmm, I¡¯d better deal with Faceless and the supercats from the auction before thinking about which cats to level up,¡± Zhao Yao decided.

    ¡°I am exhausted. I¡¯ll be the happiest man on earth when all this is done and I can surf the web in peace.¡±

    Zhao Yao had never been a big fan of tying up loose ends. Unfortunately, this was real life, not the movies, which meant that there was always plenty of cleaning up to do after an epic battle.

    His body twisted into a blur of colors as he swallowed himself into the extradimensional belly.

    He could choose to dedicate one of the dimension doorways as a permanent entrance to the belly, but he realized they were far too useful inbat to be squandered like that. So, using suck-me-in would still be the most viable method of getting in there.

    The moment he arrived in the belly, he was greeted with a cacophony of meows and cries.

    The hundreds of supercats that were saved from the auction had woken up for a while. The Cat Nation, which once seemed like a vast paradise, now looked fairly cramped.

 Chapter 459: Dealing with Things

    <h4>Chapter 459: Dealing with Things</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    A cacophony of meows, cackles, and wails echoed in the extradimensional belly. These noises were tranted into words when they reached Zhao Yao¡¯s ears. He could feel a throbbing ache at the back of his head from listening to the simultaneous conversations. Unsurprisingly, with more than a hundred supercats packed inside, the belly had descended into chaos.

    Cats were darting around. Some had withdrawn to thefort of the pet beds to observe their new surroundings. Others were fighting or squabbling over food or the toilet. A handful was sprawled out on the floor, passing around bags of catmint.

    Of course, most of them were napping. These were cats after all.

    Ares was seen maintaining a deflective field around theptops to stop cats from fighting over them.

    A variety of scratching posts, toys, and dolls were scattered all over the ce.

    Zhao Yao could not help but shut his eyes for a moment. He needed some time to think, ¡°I had over 20 cats. Now, there¡¯s at least a hundred more. It¡¯s not going to be easy to manage 150 supercats and get them to live together in harmony.¡±

    It would be a logistical nightmare. He could not imagine how much time would have to be spent on feeding them and clearing their poop. He noticed that the toilets in the belly were already operating at full capacity. The cats who could not hold it in and had done their business in various spots around the space.

    ¡°Thank God I¡¯m not in charge of cleaning this ce.¡±

    The person who was responsible for this ran towards Zhao Yao the moment heid eyes on him.

    Faceless looked like he was close to tears.

    ¡°I can¡¯t do this. We can¡¯t do this,¡± he started rambling, ¡°There are too many cats in here. It would take hours every day to keep this ce clean. We need to change the way we manage them. We need a mansion to house them, or perhaps a manor. Oh, we also need more of those automatic toilets. A couple robot vacuums would be good...¡±

    Zhao Yao waved his hand to stop Faceless from continuing.

    ¡°We¡¯ll talkter,¡± he said firmly.

    He cast an auditory illusion that nketed the space in silence so that he could be heard when he spoke.

    ¡°Hello everyone. I am the person who has rescued you from the auction. I saved you not because I want to keep you and control you. I will not sell you either. If you have ces to go or return to, you are free to leave.¡±

    The supercats immediately began to speak in hushed whispers at the end of Zhao Yao¡¯s announcement.

    Faceless jumped out of his skin.

    ¡°You¡¯re letting them go?!¡± he eximed, ¡°Do you know how much money they¡¯re worth?¡±

    Zhao Yao pursed his lips. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I have two billion US dors in my bank ount right now. I¡¯m not particrly excited about money at the moment.¡±

    Faceless felt like the blood in his veins was boiling. That was his money. His hard-earned cash.

    Regardless, it was a waste to just let these supercats go. He tried to convince Zhao Yao to rethink his decision, but was cut off again.

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to say more. I¡¯m not changing my mind. I can¡¯t handle so many cats at once. With the exception of the Pas¡¯s Cat King, the rest of them are harmless. It¡¯s fine to set them free,¡± he said.

    The bank and secret apartment were not the only ces that they went to today. They had also made a trip to the Mao Gang¡¯s base so that Zhao Yao could retrieve the information files of the supercats.

    He had pored through each of them to make sure that the cats would not pose too much of a threat to the public if they were let loose. He had assumed that none of them would be particrly dangerous. He found it difficult to believe that the Mao Gang would be capable enough to capture powerful supercats. Even if they did, they would keep them for themselves, not auction them.

    In the end, he was right. Only the King had to be handled with extra care.

    The following days were spent on dealing with the cats. Some of them had requested to stay with Zhao Yao. He did not refuse them. The rest were released into the wild in batches. Zhao Yao picked ces with a rtively low supercat density for them. He would set free a group of four or five cats at each of these locations. They would immediately scatter into various directions when they set foot on the ground.

    Zhao Yao was sure that they would integrate themselves into the local supercatwork quickly. The world was vastly different from a year and four months ago, when the awakening first happened. Supercat organizations and apostle factions had not just emerged, but also be developed institutions, each bound by their own rules. He was giving each cat the freedom to find the ce they belonged to.

    However, there were some supercats that absolutely did not suit urban life. The Pas¡¯s King Cat was a prime example of that.

    Zhao Yao had no choice but to make another trip to the Gobi desert so that he can send the King home.

    When the King and his daughter, Neoma, left the dimension doorway, they turned back to Zhao Yao, gratitude written clearly over their faces.

    ¡°We are eternally grateful to you,¡± they said earnestly, ¡°The Pas¡¯s Cat n will always wee you to our desert.¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled at them and inched forward to rub their heads. Neoma seemed to enjoy the contact, but the Pas¡¯s Cat King felt that being patted was not particrly dignified for a cat of his position. He blinked awkwardly, but allowed the man to continue patting him. He did not dare refuse him.

    At that moment, Lightning could be seen darting through the belly to reach the doorway. Unfortunately, he found that he was unable to cross the threshold. He smacked loudly into an invisible barrier when he reached it. Zhao Yao had not given him permission to cross the doorway. He did not know this, so his face, which was stered against the barrier, was still shining with unadulterated excitement.

    ¡°I¡¯m here. I¡¯m finally here!¡± Lightning eximed.

    He closed his eyes intently, as if he was listening to something attentively.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, can you hear it? The entire desert is calling my name. They are waiting for the arrival of the Pas¡¯s Cat King.¡±

    In response, Zhao Yao dropped his fist on the cat¡¯s head.

    ¡°It¡¯s time to go home,¡± he said.

    Lightning immediately hugged Zhao Yao¡¯s calf, refusing to let him go.

    ¡°No, Zhao Yao, let¡¯s stay in the desert just for a while! This is the first time I¡¯ve even set eyes on it. Please!¡± he pleaded, looking up at him with sad eyes, much like Puss in Boots in Shrek.

    Sidequest: Stay in the desert

    Objective: Let Lightning stay in the desert for at least a week

    Reward: 10 experience points

    Punishment: None

    Zhao Yao shrugged. 10 experience points were not much, but they were still points. Lightning did not work at the cafe anyway. He was of more use at the desert than if he was at home, hooking up with random female cats.

    Zhao Yao permitted the cat to cross the doorway. Lightning immediately charged through it and sprinted across the grasnd, alternating between leaping in the air and rolling on the ground.

    ¡°Are you ready?¡± he shouted, chuckling, ¡°The Super Pas¡¯s Cat is here!¡±

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes at his antics.

    ¡°I¡¯lle get you in a week. Make sure you¡¯re waiting for me right here, okay?¡± he told Lightning.

    ¡°Yeah, yeah. I got it.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head in disapproval before turning to the King.

    ¡°Please take care of him on my behalf,¡± he said sincerely.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry!¡± the King replied cheerily, ¡°We will take good care of the Super Pas¡¯s Cat.¡±

    With that, Zhao Yao turned around and headed into the doorway. He restricted the ess rights so that only him alone can walk through it, then made it invisible from view.

 Chapter 460: 456 Choice

    <h4>Chapter 460: 456 Choice</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    After sending away all the supercats that wanted to leave, those that were left over included those who were originally there. There were approximately 50 of them, inclusive of Ares and the rest.

    It was much more manageable to take care of them. The supercat which was hidden by Faceless and had life preserving abilities was among them.

    As he looked at him gaming on the xbox with a serious expression, Zhao Yao felt like he was staying put in the extradimensional belly for the games.

    Speaking of which, the ability of this supercat seemed to be the most effective among those under the control of Faceless. It was a spotless defence as all attacks could be directed to beneath his feet. As long as his feet were ced on something, he would not get hit. It was no wonder that Faceless hid him.

    After sending off the supercats, Zhao Yao appeared beside Faceless. He looked at Faceless expressionless.

    Faceless felt a tinge of panic while being looked at. He had already removed his mask and was wearing ordinary attire. He looked to be over thirty and was just like any ordinary employee of apany. He seemed to have lost the aura he previously had as the leader of the Mao Gang.

    Zhao Yao looked at him and spoke, ¡°I shall give you two choices. First, I let you go but you must wash away your memory of the past 24 hours.¡±

    Caesar was the one who was able to cleanse memory. This father ragdoll was able to cleanse the past 24 hours of a person¡¯s memory in his or her dream.

    After listening to Zhao Yao, Faceless revealed a bitter expression. If he was to be let out now, there wasn¡¯t going to be a beneficial result. He would likely be captured and locked up for the rest of his life. In addition, if his recent 24 hours of memory was erased, he wouldn¡¯t be left with a single ability. His worth would plummet and besides a lifetime jail sentence, there wasn¡¯t an alternative.

    Hence, Faceless looked at Zhao Yao attentively as he awaited the second option.

    Zhao Yao spoke, ¡°The second option is that you stay here and take care of the cats. But because of what you did in the past, resulting in dire consequences for the society, seriously damaging the rtions of the people. These were irreversible damages and hence by staying here, it will be a lifetime stay.¡±

    Faceless took a deep breath. Even though he knew he did not have any other choice but when he really heard it, he was still bitter.

    But on the flip side, he wouldn¡¯t be beaten to death and he heaved a sigh of relief.

    Zhao Yao looked at him and said, ¡°Alright, start choosing...¡±

    Faceless revealed an expression of serious deliberation and the entanglement in his heart reached the peak. Zhao Yao looked at the clock and said, ¡°You have 5 minutes. There¡¯s no need to rush, think it through slowly.¡±

    Faceless had a persistent gaze as he answered Zhao Yao, ¡°I choose to stay here.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Zhao Yao looked at him and continued, ¡°Let me remind you, if you think that you have a chance of escaping by staying here or even borrow the abilities of the cats, you are overthinking. You will only be allowed to stay in this space to work.¡±

    ¡°Rest assured, I don¡¯t have other intentions.¡± Faceless replied, ¡°If I was to leave and be apprehended, I¡¯m dead. Many people would want that. It¡¯s pretty good that I can stay here and take care of the cats for the rest of my life too.¡±

    He looked at Faceless¡¯ dispirited face and nodded, ¡°That¡¯s alright, let me remind you again, your decision is final.¡±

    ¡°I won¡¯t regret.¡± Faceless said, ¡°I have understood your strength after the past few days. I wouldn¡¯t be so foolish as to do otherwise.¡±

    Zhao Yao rxed his shoulders and suddenly snapped, ¡°Matsuo.¡±

    ¡°Yes, my owner.¡±

    Apanied by mandarin with a heavy Japanese ent, Matsuo suddenly appeared right in front of Faceless and Zhao Yao.

    Faceless was taken aback, ¡°This is...¡±

    ¡°A specter. Before you were here, he was in-charge of taking care of the cats here.¡± Zhao Yao continued, ¡°You just follow him in the future.¡±

    Faceless was shocked as he looked at Matsuo and then he realised that in the extradimensional belly, there were weird urrences like the toilet being cleaned, catmint being swept up as well asputer being started up in the middle of the night. It seemed like they were all done by the specter in front of him.

    As he watched Faceless leaving with Matsuo, Zhao Yao called Old Cat and said, ¡°Find a time to speak to this Faceless. I don¡¯t want to kill him but don¡¯t want him to do as he wishes. Don¡¯t be too overboard, let him be a person who love the cats and don¡¯t keep thinking of taking revenge for me.¡±

    Old Cat smiled at Zhao Yao knowingly, nodded his head and replied, ¡°Yes.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought that with Old Cat¡¯s guidance, even if Old Cat¡¯s ability could onlyst for 24 hours. But with the culmination of time and effort, it should reform Faceless and would be more effective than prison.

    As he finished sorting out the matters of the supercats, Zhao Yao headed home andy on his sofa satisfyingly. Mango who was a distance away rushed to him excitedly and leaped into his embrace.

    As Zhao Yao stroked the cat, he switched on the phone that was connected to cat web and entered the forum.

    At this moment, he did not need to be cautious and can use that phone whenever as he wasn¡¯t afraid of Uncle Ho and the rest knowing his position.

    Zhao Yao essed the cat web with the intention of looking at news of himself. After flipping through a few pieces of news, he instantly saw discussions about the auction.

    But the news that were received by most were that the Mao Gang was taken down by apostles of the authority. They were unaware of the appearance of the Headless Horseman and it was evident that the news was altered by the authority.

    Mao Gang was rtively reputable. They were entirely eradicated this time and this had a big impact. The associations became more honest and they was greater respect towards the capabilities of the apostles of the authority.

    As for the apostles on the outside, they were condemning and there was an incessant request to release the people but no one cared.

    Zhao Yao was pretty satisfied at this circumstance. He allowed the country to be notified about certain things but he didn¡¯t want to be known in the realm of superpowers. Afterall, it was better to keep a low profile and develop. Secrecy was a trump card, if he was more well known, he would be more of a target too.

    At this moment, Roly Poly jumped onto Zhao Yao. While he rubbed Zhao Yao¡¯s knee, he spoke, ¡°Zhao Yao Zhao Yao, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡± He rubbed Zhao Yao¡¯s thigh and ran to the rear of the sofa and ced his paws on Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulders to massage them.

    ¡°Let me massage for you.¡±

    As he looked at Roly Poly¡¯s obedience, he shut his eyes and enjoyed the massage. He then asked, ¡°What happened?¡±

    Roly Poly licked his paws and said, ¡°Nothing can escape your eyes.¡± He lifted his eyes and looked at Red Packet who was standing at the corner of the wall with his paws held high and said, ¡°Red Packet had stood there for such a long time already. He is sincerely repenting and wouldn¡¯t dare to run away again.¡±

    ¡°After standing for so long, his body will be damaged and would require Zhao Yao¡¯s money to heal himself. Let¡¯s just forget it.¡±

    Red Packet who was still being punished nodded his head vigorously. As he was the one who led Lightning to leave home, Lightning had already went for a holiday but he was still being punished at home. As he heard Roly Poly¡¯s plea, he was extremely grateful.

    ¡°Roly Poly, you are a good cat. When I¡¯m fine, I will repay you.¡±

    Roly Poly was gloating in his heart as he looked at Red Packet¡¯s grateful gaze while massaging Zhao Yao. ¡°He he, Red Packet¡¯s money earning ability is much more useful than time stoppage, magic. Even if Zhao Yao refute my statement, I still managed to win over Red Packet.¡±

    As he continued thinking, Roly Poly exhaled, ¡°Haish, in this battle to inherit the cafe, I especially need to win over Dust Ball and Elizabeth who both don¡¯t earn much. With the help of Red Packet, this could be resolved.¡±

    While Roly Poly was thinking, Matcha had already appeared in front of Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, you¡¯ve been working hard these few days. Two hundred million is a lot of money, you must have had a hard time earning it right?¡±

    ¡°Yes it¡¯s tiring,¡± Zhao Yao nodded emotionally, ¡°It¡¯s difficult to be a rich man.¡±

    Matcha instantly ran to the massage chair and patted on the seat, ¡°Zhao Yao Zhao Yao,e sit on my massage chair for a rxing massage. Roly Poly¡¯s small paws can¡¯t do much.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded, ¡°I haven¡¯t sat on the massage chair for a long time.¡±

    Roly Poly stared coldly as Matcha pulled Zhao Yao over to the massage chair. He thought to himself, ¡°This fellow, when did he start ying these tricks?¡±

    As Roly Poly was in disbelief, Matcha sat on Zhao Yao¡¯sp and said to him, ¡°Zhao Yao, Red Packet hadmitted a big mistake. I¡¯m heartbroken, it¡¯s a result of my inadequate leadership and supervision.¡±

    Roly Polyughed to himself, ¡°Hng, so boastful. He never forgets to emphasize that he¡¯s the leader.¡±

    Matcha continued, ¡°Red Packet deserved to be punished but it¡¯s detrimental for his body to be standing for so long. If his leg was to be handicapped, how is he going to find a wife? Since I am the lead descent of this household, I will also take responsibility when the young onesmit a mistake.¡±

    Matcha turned and looked at Red Packet, ¡°I shall continue the rest of the punishment for Red Packet.¡±

    Red Packet looked at Matcha and his eyes were filled with respect, appreciation and gratitude.

    Rice Cake, Elizabeth, Dust Ball and the rest were moved when they heard that.

    Matcha went to help Red Packet out of his position and took over his ce.

    Red Packet¡¯s legs crumbled and fell onto the floor. He looked at Matcha and instantly said, ¡°What a good cat. I won¡¯t be following any other cat other than you.¡±

    ¡°Brother Red Packet, that¡¯s an honor.¡± Matcha replied, ¡°The business at the coffeehouse is improving by the day. Our ie is increasing, I know you have worked hard, I wouldn¡¯t forget...¡±

    Red Packet heard that his work was being recognised and he was touched.

    Roly Poly shot an icy cold re and thought, ¡°This Matcha, when did he be so scheming in buying over the cats?¡±

    He suddenly looked at Old Cat who was smiling at the side and instantly understood, ¡°It was this old thief that taught him? Damn it, things aren¡¯t going well.¡±

    But after a moment, Roly Poly smiled, ¡°He he, it¡¯s a pity that you can win over the cats and have a room full of friends but there isn¡¯t a point? Zhao Yao¡¯s not dead yet. Your scheming is obvious, who knows if it¡¯s a blessing or a disaster?¡±

    Roly Poly carefully observed Zhao Yao. He was ying with his phone and ignored Matcha and Red Packet. He was secretly happy, ¡°Hee hee, he¡¯s displeased and dissatisfied with Matcha forming alliances.¡±

    Zhao Yao opened Alipay to obtain the interests from the hundred thousand that was ced inside, ¡°Haish, what a pity that there¡¯s a limit now. If not, I will immediately ce 200 million in it and attain tens of thousands of interests everyday.¡±

    Zhao Yao opened up his WeChat circle and was pleased, ¡°I shouldn¡¯t act dumb when I have money.¡± He thought and decided to post a picture of his bank bnce.

    ¡°Hm, Xiao Yu, Zhao Xue, father and mother were screened already. I could consider sharing with them about the abilities. But I should singly be responsible for the two hundred million dors. If not, they can¡¯t fall asleep at night.¡±

    In a short while, the message ¡®Finally aplish two small targets, I felt that I had substantiated my abilities and the money woulde in naturally.¡¯ was posted on the circle.

    A photo of his bank bnce was attached to the message.

    There were replied immediately.

    Matcha liked.

    Roly Poly liked.

    Fishball replied, ¡°Zhao Yao, why did you send me this? And this profile photo is too old, I¡¯ve seen Xiao Yu using it when in kindergarten.¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned, ¡°This fellow, let me remove him.¡± Many messages followed.

    Xiao Shiyu replied, ¡°It¡¯s time for increment of wages.¡±

    Baiquan replied, ¡°Boss, the cats in the household are increasing. Let¡¯s change a house?¡±

    After seeing Baiquan¡¯s reply, Zhao Yao recalled Faceless¡¯ suggestion to change house, he thought to himself, ¡°There are more and more cats, there¡¯s room for consideration to change to a vi.¡±

    But apanied by that, there¡¯s the physical shifting, cleaning and furnishing, he thought that it was too troublesome.

    Thinking til here, he replied Baiquan, ¡°There¡¯s no point in shifting. Let¡¯s just buy a house for the cats.¡±

    Old colleagues and ssmates replied.

    ¡°Old Zhao, you are posting such an old photo?¡±

    ¡°200 million dors? Zimbabwe dors?¡±

    ¡°Old Zhao, where did you take this picture from?¡±

    Essentially all those that knew him from long ago, no one believed that he could have possible earned that amount. Zhao Yao was enraged.

    At this moment, someone replied. It was a photo of a husky.

    Noodle replied, ¡°Zhao Yao why did you send me this? You included father and mother too? I think you¡¯re overthinking. You thought that by sending this photo, your parents will think it¡¯s real. From Xiao Yu.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, since when did I add this silly dog in?¡± Zhao Yao was furious as he removed his reply and added him into the spam list.

    ¡°A bunch of poor people who can¡¯t see what¡¯s in front of them.¡± Zhao Yao was enraged, ¡°ce all of you into the poor people group the next time.¡±

    Zhao Yao continued fiddling with the messaging tform and realised someone sent him a message.

    Xiao Ming sent, ¡°Centre of the city, an exclusive condominium. It¡¯s only 5 minutes away from the train station and only costs 2 million! It¡¯s a rare opportunity, grab onto it!¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t even believe this,¡± Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Let me remove him from the friend list too.¡±

    At night, Matcha had finished his punishment and ran into the extradimensional belly to take a break. A group of supercats gathered around him.

    There were familiar cats and there were also neers.

    All of them looked at Matcha with either admiration or respect.

    Gaia massaged Matcha¡¯s shoulders and asked with a delightful tone, ¡°Sir George, how was my matter handled?¡±

    ¡°Your matter? Oh, Gaia you want a PS4 right? I have mentioned it to Zhao Yao and he should be buying within these few days.¡±

    Gaia was excited. He had recently watched videos of PS4 games and had an unbearable urge to y them. As he heard Matcha¡¯s reply, he immediately massaged him with greater attention and said, ¡°Sir George, your Glory of Kings ount, I will push it to Diamond.¡±

    ¡°Hm, you are thoughtful.¡± Matcha squinted and nodded with satisfaction.

    ¡°Sir George, what about me?¡± Airne from Jiangmen University joined the conversation as well. He rubbed Matcha¡¯s back while asking, ¡°What about my matter?¡±

    ¡°Hm, Airne?¡± Matcha stopped to think before speaking, ¡°Your matter is moreplex.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Airne was anxious, ¡°Sir George, is there not enough money? I can go borrow if there isn¡¯t enough.¡±

    ¡°Haish, it¡¯s not a money issue, why I will I be after your money?¡± Matcha replied, ¡°Your matter is difficult to handle. I had briefly mentioned about prostitution to Zhao Yao and he was enraged. As you know, I am in the position I am now because I am Zhao Yao¡¯s favourite. Since Boss isn¡¯t happy with this, I think you should not mention it again.¡±

    ¡°Ah!¡± Airne left with dejection.

    Dust Ball came up too and asked, ¡°What about catmint? Did Zhao Yao agree to the expansion of production? Now that the cat kingdom has expanded, the supply of local catmint can¡¯t cope with the demand. This is a great opportunity that we will regret missing.¡±

    ¡°I haven¡¯t mentioned the catmint issue to him. You don¡¯t understand, it is difficult for me to raise so many issues to him at once.¡±

    Dust Ball was worried, ¡°How can you not mention it yet? This has to do with the well-being of all cats. This needs to be settled early...¡± As he spoke, he lifted up his head and tilted in the direction of the catmint fields. He saw a few of the new cats and shouted, ¡°Hey! All of you get lost! Don¡¯t you dare touch the catmint!¡±

    While bellowing, she had already went after the cats.

    Matcha lifted his head and nced at him. He shook his head and said, ¡°Haish, Dust Ball is too hot-tempered. He requires more training.¡±

    Old Cat joined in too and ttered him, ¡°If Ms. Dust Ball was half as calm as Sir George, she would be outstanding too.¡±

    Matcha smiled happily. He suddenly turned around and looked at Faceless who was standing behind Old Cat and asked, ¡°What¡¯s up? Why did you bring this fellow here?¡±

    Old Cat replied, ¡°When I was chatting with this fellow (Old Cat¡¯s brainwashing ability included the ability to speak in the humannguage), I¡¯ve realised that he looked up to you. Hence I brought him over to see you and you can talk for a bit with him?¡±

    Matcha thought and replied, ¡°Alright.¡±

    In a distance, Roly Poly, Lion head and Uncle Egg were looking at Faceless chatting with Matcha, together with Old Cat who was tranting for them.

    Roly Poly thought to himself, ¡°Who would have thought that Matcha would grow so quickly, it¡¯s no wonder that he is my lifetime enemy.¡±

    Uncle Egg was worried and asked, ¡°Roly Poly, what do we do? Matcha is amassing his support and gaining more power. Airne and the rest had also sided with him. We need to make ns too.¡±

    Roly Poly squinted and said, ¡°Rest assured, I already have a master n. I will utterly destroy him and he won¡¯t be able to battle with me.¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yaoy on his bed and was looking at his book. His current experience levels were:

    Book: Lv 6 (26902/20000)

    Matcha Lv 7 (4400/20000)

    Elizabeth Lv 6 (3900/10000)

    Dust Ball Lv 8 (5755/50000)

    Ares Lv 6 (4800/10000)

    Lucifer Lv 6 (2600/10000)

    Sphynx cat Lv 5 (2300/5000)

    Zhao Yao looked at his book and thought to himself, ¡°I can not level up my book and use the experience points to raise the level of Elizabeth, Ares or Sphynx cat. Which cat should I use it on?¡±

    Zhao Yao was very adept at utilizing Elizabeth¡¯s illusion ability. He used it well to assist and control the field. It was even more effective when he utilized it in solo battles and was his most holistic ability.

    Repulsive field was Zhao Yao¡¯s initial defensive ability. After which, he had the extradimensional gate, although its defence is not the strongest, it was effective on the offensive. It was especially useful to repel against fields and forces.

    There was not much to borate about Sphynx cat. Although hisbat power would not increase with his level, his physical constitution had been improving but the speed has been dropping. If he was to increase the level of the Sphynx cat, his effectiveness would improve too.

    Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°Even though Elizabeth¡¯s ability is impressive, there isn¡¯t an immediate need for her to raise level. The five senses illusion as well as illusion¡¯s seal are sufficient for me. Ares¡¯ and Sphynx cat¡¯s abilities are insteadcking.¡±

    ¡°Looking at Ares¡¯ ability, hisbat and strength are starting tock behind. When encountering an exceptional force, his ability would be broken down. Hence, there¡¯s a need to consider raising his level.¡±

    ¡°But it¡¯s better for Sphynx cat to rise in level early too. The earlier, the more benefits.¡±

    Zhao Yao was in a dilemma as it was a conflict between short-term and long-term benefits.

    After thinking about his condition, he then decided to emce the experience points on Sphynx cat.

    ¡°Anyway mybat power is strong now. Sphynx cat is also the lowest level among the cats under contract. This time, he will reach level 6 and then he will have the ability to grow right? Then let¡¯s add the experience points to him the.¡±

    At the next moment, 2700 experience points were added to Sphynx cat and the panel disyed ¨C Sphynx Cat Lv 6 (0/10000)

    Zhao Yao opened the ability branch and immediately, 2 branches appeared in front of him.

    Elemental Resistance: With training, the body will develop resistance to the various forms of attacks. With the increase in level, the resistance will be stronger.

    Ability Exemption: With training, after the body undergoes a hit, there¡¯s a probability that the ability will be exempted. The highest probability would be 5%.

    After seeing these 2 points, his eyes brightened, ¡°It is indeed a growth ability.¡±

    His attention shifted to the ability exemption. It meant that a level 6 Sphynx cat would have 3% probability of exemption. This would rise with Sphynx cat¡¯s level. This thought caused him to be emotional.

    ¡°Impressive, this ability is really impressive. Even though the growth is slow, but when it reaches a significant level, that would be...¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately added his ability and he was looking forward to when Sphynx cat¡¯s rise in levels.

    At this moment, in the skies above the eastern seas of Jiangmen City, a cat was sitting on a floating red carpet, headed towards the city.

    Looking at the metropolitan city, he let out a soft sigh, ¡°So this is a human city?¡±

    Sitting on the flying carpet was a grey Scottish Fold. He looked toned and lengthy, not like any other ordinary domestic cat.

    He sat on the flying carpet as it glided smoothly across the sky. Looking at the crowded city, there was an expression of bizarreness.

    ¡°It was close to one year before I was back in a city of humans.¡±

    When he flew across a small districts, there were traces of supercats. He frowned and thought, ¡°So many supercats? This is troublesome, how long do I have to search for?¡±

    He fixed his nce and saw a cat walking a dog.

    ¡°A powerhouse who is capable of walking dogs? It¡¯s such a big dog. This supercat must be powerful and perhaps is able to help me...¡±

    The Scottish Fold continued on his voyage and reached the middle of this small district and gradually lowered to float right above the middle of awn.

    Fishbally in the path of Noodle and said unhappily, ¡°You dogs still need to specially leave to pee and poop. That¡¯s too primitive.¡±

    Noodle grinded his teeth and replied, ¡°You don¡¯t know anything. This is being healthy.¡±

    While they were arguing, a voice sounded out, ¡°Hello.¡±

    Fishball and Noodle lifted their heads and saw the Scottish Fold on the floating carpet.

    Fishball¡¯s eyes shone and the light was directed to the supercat floating in mid-air. He shouted excitedly, ¡°There¡¯s a flying carpet! What¡¯s your ability?¡±

    The Scottish Fold replied, ¡°There¡¯s nothing much to this, it just lets this thing fly. I am Cheese, are y¡¯all supercats from this area?¡±

    ¡°Yes, I am Fishball. I am the King of Huatien District.¡± Fishball tapped his chest and continued, ¡°I manage everything in the vicinity.¡±

    Noodle frowned but didn¡¯t bother to refute Fishball¡¯s boasting. He just looked at the Scottish Fold and thought to himself, ¡°Make this thing fly? This ability can be very trash or very impressive. I wonder which category he belongs to.¡±

    Cheese heard Fishball and was pleasantly surprised, ¡°Is that so? King of Huatien, I am here to look for my sister. Can you help me?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s no problem, you can count on me.¡± Fishball replied, ¡°Can you let me sit on the flying carpet?¡±

    His new cat friend replied, ¡°Of course.¡±

    ...

    In the office, Uncle Ho was scratching his head over Zhao Yao¡¯s report.

    ¡°This fellow always gives us trouble. We need to go through the approval of 17, 18 superiors before acting. This really bounds us.¡±

    Uncle Ho sighed and decided to rest for a while by browsing his social media.

    The first thing he saw was Lin Cheng getting married to his girlfriend on the online game and also posted a screenshot.

    ¡°This trash,¡± Uncle Ho shook his head and continue scrolling and saw ZHao Yao¡¯s screenshot of his savings.

    Different from the rest of the people whomented, he knew that Zhao Yao really had over 200 million, he was jealous and hateful.

    Hence, he began leaving ament, ¡°Brother Zhao666, when are you bringing your little brother out to get rich too.¡±

    At this moment, Lin Chen rushed in all of a sudden. Uncle Ho rubbed his bald head and said with unconcern, ¡°There¡¯s no way the leave will be approved. Online wedding isn¡¯t real, even if you apply it for over a thousand times, I still will not give it to you.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not this,¡± Lin Chen shouted, ¡°Check your inbox.¡±

    ¡°Eh?¡± Uncle Ho was taken aback and opened his inbox. His expression became much more solemn and he immediately stood up and ran out of the office.

    ¡°Notify everyone to gather now.¡±

    ¡°Link me up with our naval fleet, we need to seal off the entire sea area.¡±

    ¡°Call the weather agency, I need to to know if this is a natural phenomenon.¡±

    As indicated on the screen, arge area of mysterious fog had risen over the sea.

    Within the fog, all ships and crew had lost connection.

    ...

    On the other side, in the wee hours of Zhao Yao¡¯s home.

    Sounds of typing on the keyboard continued. Matcha, Roly Poly, Elizabeth and Rice Cake were ying the game together and were live streaming it as nned before.

    Old Cat, Uncle Egg, Airne and the rest were gathered around watching them.

    It was a pity that Roly Poly did not have additional in-game items, hence the four of them had subpar standard and it was hard for them to win. They became more dejected as they proceeded on.

    After it ended, Matcha sighed andy down on the massage chair, ¡°This is difficult. I think it¡¯s difficult to carve ourselves a name in this game.¡±

    At this moment, Roly Poly¡¯s voice sounded out beside him, ¡°Matcha, I hadn¡¯t used this in-game item, let me give it to you.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s eyes brightened and replied, ¡°Eh? Why are you so nice?¡±

    Roly Poly sighed, ¡°Matcha, since the incident at thendingpany, I have decided not to be calctive and live the days of chasing after materialistic gains. Now I only want to eat, sleep,y in the sun and live like a normal cat.¡±

    ¡°Amitabha,¡± Roly Poly continued, ¡°Wealth, fame, power are all just temporary. If you were like me and had spent over five thousand dors in a month. You would understand that money ultimately is just a number. If I can sleep peacefully, that¡¯s better than anything.¡±

    As he continued, he gave his ount details to Matcha and kept silent.

    After Matcha finished listening, he stood up from the massage chair and was hesitant.

    ¡°This fellow, is he for real? Bing so kind all of a sudden?¡±

    After deliberating for a long time, he decided to give it a try.

    ¡°I won¡¯t get pregnant trying anyway.¡±

    After half an hour, Matcha was delighted. ¡°Ha ha ha, die!¡±

    ¡°Hide? What¡¯s the point in hiding? Headshot from 800 metres out!¡±

    ¡°Bang bang bang! Watch me use my fist to destroy you!¡±

    The next few days, Elizabeth, Rice Cake and the rest realised that Matcha¡¯s standard was rising and was able to lead them to victories.

    That night, Airne, Old Cat and even Dust Ball were behind Matcha. They cheered with delight with every kill that he made.

    ¡°Good!¡±

    ¡°Sir George has good skill!¡±

    ¡°Woah, Sir George, they didn¡¯t even know you were there.¡±

    Roly Polyughed to himself as he watched the rest tter Matcha. Uncle Egg was worried and said, ¡°Roly Poly, after you hand over this to him, the cats would be more on his side.¡±

    ¡°Hm, the cliff is after the peak. This fellow¡¯s biggest weakness if his mental strength. Remember thest time he was slightly struck down, he was looking for die? I think he would be finished for good this time.¡±

    Roly Poly looked at his phone and continued on his micro-blog, ¡°Cutie Fruity Tea (Matcha¡¯s ID) is unscrupulous.¡±

    Following the posting of the message along with the tagging of a group of famous people, more and more people beganmenting.

    Roly Polyughed and didn¡¯t bother after. Matcha was still immersed in the happiness of his 29 kill streak.

    Matcha quickly realised that there were people scolding him on the chatroom. Although he was unhappy, he ignored them.

    Until the next day, he realised there were more people scolding him.

    In reality, there was already very little attention on himpared to other matters on the inte. There was only five or six people scolding him but it was already a huge blow to Matcha.

    ¡°Lousy streamer.¡±

    ¡°Aimbotter.¡±

    ¡°Stupid.¡±

    Matcha continued ying gloomily. He was increasingly unhappy as he hadn¡¯t been scolded by this many people before.

    Elizabeth said, ¡°Matcha, it¡¯s okay. Now that you are popr with over a hundred spectators, next time we depend on you to earn money.¡±

    Rice Cake urged him, ¡°Stop talking, start another round.¡±

    Roly Poly acted concerned, ¡°Matcha, are you okay? Don¡¯t care about them, I believe your skills are the best.¡±

    Matcha nodded, ¡°Rest assured, no one will defeat me! Roly Poly, thanks.¡±

    Roly Poly smiled and continued secretly using a nickname andmenting in the chat room, ¡°You trash.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s expression became worse and the next day, he changed the name of the chatroom to ¡®Will you all stop scolding me only when I¡¯m dead.¡¯

    However, the number of people scolding him increased. Matcha who hadn¡¯t been on the receiving end of these cyber bullying felt terrible.

    He didn¡¯t dare to continue ying the game. However, the scolding online continued and they became worse. Gloomy Matcha then decided to stop broadcasting.

    Elizabeth saw a dispirited Matcha and asked worriedly, ¡°Are you okay?¡±

    Matcha slowly coasted into his room and replied, ¡°Don¡¯t bother about me, I¡¯m just trash.¡±

    Elizabeth said, ¡°...This fellow, he is defeated again.¡±

    Rice Cake asked, ¡°Don¡¯t care about what?¡±

    Elizabeth frowned, ¡°Leave him. It was the same the previous time he was scolded. It will alright in a few days.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s head extended from his room and said, ¡°This feels terrible. I don¡¯t feel like living.¡±

    Matcha frowned and called Rice Cake and Roly Poly, ¡°The three of us go ahead then.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s faint voice continued from his room, ¡°Ah, no one cares about me. No one likes me. What¡¯s the point of living.¡±

    Elizabeth stood speechless and was about to go console Matcha, Roly Poly stood up and said, ¡°Let me take care of Matcha. You guys go ahead and y first.¡±

    Once Roly Poly entered the room, Matcha had alreadyy down on his bed. He seemed to be staring at the door but once he saw someone entered, he immediately turned around.

    Roly Poly frowned and patted Matcha¡¯s back, ¡°Are you fine?¡±

    ¡°I am so angry,¡± Matcha quivered, ¡°Why are they scolding me like this.¡±

    Roly Poly said immediately, ¡°Not all of them are scolding you.¡± He took out his phone and changed ount on his weibo, ¡°Look, there are people who like you too.¡±

    He looked at thements and pointed out one of them, ¡°I believe that the broadcaster is not cheating.¡±

    Matcha was touched, ¡°There¡¯s still people that believe in me?¡±

    Roly Poly ced his phone in front of Matcha, ¡°Look if you don¡¯t believe me.¡±

    Matcha briefly skimmed through and saw over tenments scolding him. He became angrier.

    Roly Poly watched Matcha making hissing sounds and heughed to himself. Matcha then asked, ¡°You can leavements too?¡±

    ¡°How do you leave? Do you press this?¡±

    As he watched Matcha began arguing with thementers on Weibo and the argument became more aggressive. Roly Poly smiled with satisfaction and left quietly.

    On the third day, Zhao Yao woke up and saw a sickly Matcha.

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    Matcha was covered in a nket on his face. His mouth was opened slightly and looked like he was close to dying. A string of mucus was also hanging from his nose.

    As he saw Zhao Yao approaching, Matcha said nkly, ¡°No one likes me. Everyone hates me.¡±

    Zhao Yao touched his head and said, ¡°What is going on? You yed the entire night yesterday right?¡± Zhao Yao touched his forehead again and looked the mucus on his face, ¡°You¡¯ve caught a flu. Don¡¯t work today and have a good rest.¡±

    At this moment, Zhao Yao¡¯s phone rang and he answered, ¡°Yes? Uncle Ho, what¡¯s the matter... Hm? There¡¯s such a thing? I don¡¯t know too, I didn¡¯t see that before...¡±

    Roly Poly peeked into the room sneakily and saw the dispirited Matcha. He secretly covered his mouth andughed.

    ¡°Hm hm, you want topete with me? I will let you stay beyond redemption.¡±

    Roly Poly followed behind Zhao Yao and walked away. When everyone was away, Matcha perked his ears and jumped up excitedly.

    ¡°Ha ha ha ha, I don¡¯t need to work!¡±

    He immediately turned on his phone and sent out a message on his social media whilst blocking Zhao Yao.

    ¡°I¡¯m the only cat at home! Who wants to be high with me!¡±

    He then sent a personal message to Fishball.

    Matcha thought to himself, ¡°This Fishball always proims that he knows a lot of females, I don¡¯t know if that¡¯s real or not.¡±

    Not long after, a knock was heard from outside. Matcha opened the door excitedly and it was Yellow Mud.

    Yellow Mud said with excitement, ¡°I heard that you¡¯re having a party here? I can eat anything I want here?¡± He licked his lips uncontrobly after saying that.

    Matcha rolled his eyes and swivelled his head in the direction of the living room and casually said, ¡°Come in.¡±

    Yellow Mud rushed to the cat food containers and took a big mouth.

    Half an hourter, another knock was heard. Matcha rushed over to the door, Fishball, Noodle and Spirit Cat were all here.

    Matcha looked excited at who was behind them but there was only a Scottish Fold.

    Fishball said, ¡°Why are you blocking the door? This is a cat that we just met, he is called Cheese. Cheese, this is Matcha, the head of this little district. Today¡¯s the gathering of the leaders.¡±

    Cheese nodded at Matcha respectfully, ¡°Hello.¡±

    Matcha just nodded his head and led them into the house. He then approached Fishball and whispered, ¡°Where are the females? Didn¡¯t you say that you know a lot of super sexy and fun females? Why didn¡¯t your bring them over?¡±

    Fishball was taken aback, ¡°I really thought it was a meeting for the male cats.¡±

    ¡°Who wants to have a meeting with you? Quickly bring the females over.¡±

    Fishball nodded and said, ¡°Okay okay. I will call them over.¡±

    On the rooftop, Matcha looked at Fishball and asked, ¡°Can it be done? You can just send an invite on your social media or send out a group message, isn¡¯t that more convenient?¡±

    Fishball sneered and wagged his finger, ¡°You don¡¯t know this then. You need to understand the females¡¯ mentality, sending out a text? Who don¡¯t know how to do that? Females like something special, romantic. Do you understand what¡¯s romantic?¡±

    Matcha thought and grabbed onto his fur, ¡°I can send them 999 balls of my own fur?¡±

    Fishball rolled his eyes and said, ¡°You can¡¯t be helped. Let me teach you how to actually pick up chicks.¡±

    As he spoke, his paws shone brightly and streaks of light shot into the sky. An image of his head appeared in the sky.

    Fishball was proud, ¡°Can you see this? This is my signature call for females, they wille in a while.¡±

    Matcha was shocked by the mark in the sky. He asked unconvincingly, ¡°How do they know that this your mark of courtship?¡±

    Fishball smiled with disdain. He took out the phone which connected the cats and dug out a note. He said, ¡°Look at this.¡±

    Matcha looked at the note and saw that the photo on the note was exactly the same as the image that appeared just now. Along with it, there was a caption ¨C ¡®A handsome shorthair is looking for his sister. He had lost contact with his sister since young and bravely grew up on the streets alone. Now that he¡¯s sessful and became a wealthy cat, he just wants to find his sister. Everyday, he creates this image to search for his sister. It was said that this was her appearance when she was young...¡¯

    Matcha was curious, ¡°You lost contact with your sister when you were young?¡±

    ¡°How is that possible? I don¡¯t have a sister.¡± Fishball said with disdain, ¡°I was inspired by a friend and thought of this idea to pick up chicks.¡±

    Matcha replied with a nk look, ¡°Eh?¡±

    Fishball continued, ¡°Think about it, a handsome cat who grew up alone on the streets after losing contact with his sister. After which, he grew up to be sessful and is still searching for his sister. How pitiful is that? This will immediately attract the attention of the females. When they are here, I will tell them my sister is dead and this will instantly induce their pity for me.¡±

    Matcha was a little unconvinced and said, ¡°Is this even useful?¡±

    Ten minutester, a female persian cat appeared at Zhao Yao¡¯s home.

    Fishball opened the door and bleakly said, ¡°Hello¡±

    The female persian cat replied, ¡°Hi, are you looking for your sister?¡±

    Fishball replied with affection, ¡°You look really like my sister.¡±

    She replied, ¡°Er... Actually I saw a cat in the opposite street that looked like the one in the image.¡±

    Fishball suddenly bawled and hugged the female cat. When she didn¡¯t know what was going on and was about to withdraw herself, he said with destion, ¡°Sorry, I am too upset and couldn¡¯t control myself.¡±

    She was curious and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    While bringing her in, he continued, ¡°Three days ago, I found the family that adopted my sister but I found out half a year ago, she was already dead because of leukemia.¡±

    Looking at the bawling Fishball, the persian cat didn¡¯t know how to react, ¡°So.. Sorry, I didn¡¯t know this happened. I...¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t speak, just let me have a hug alright?¡± Fishball widened his watery eyes and said pitifully, ¡°You really look like my sister.¡±

    ¡°Oh,¡± She was heartbroken as she hugged Fishball and consoled, ¡°It¡¯s alright, just hug as long as you need to.¡±

    Fishball smiled to himself and disyed a victory sign at Matcha who was standing a distance away.

    Matcha was shocked, ¡°This works too?¡±

    At this moment, the persian cat saw a handphone which was floating about mid-air. She was shocked and asked, ¡°What¡¯s that?¡±

    Fishball was unconcerned, ¡°Just a silly person, don¡¯t bother.¡±

    In a void that no one else could see, Spirit Cat was holding onto the phone and recording down everything in Zhao Yao¡¯s house, especially Fishball. He made sure to have a 360 degrees recording with no blind spots.

    Fishball shouted in his consciousness, ¡°That¡¯s enough, stop filming me.¡± He was unhappy as he thought to himself, ¡°This damn cat, since he had the phone, all he does is take photos. Even when taking a poop, he wants to take photos.¡±

    He then floated to one side and said, ¡°Actually you all don¡¯t have to feel any burden. I am just a spectator who silently records everything.¡±

    Once he left, Matcha then saw Fishball and the persian cat enter the cat¡¯s nest. He was taken aback and at this moment, the doorbell rang. He looked at the door with anticipation and was going to open the door.

    But after the few steps, he was hesitant and thought, ¡°What if I fail, won¡¯t I be scolded?¡±

    Fishball¡¯s head stuck out of the cat¡¯s nest and gave Matcha a thumbs up, ¡°You can do it.¡± At the next instant, he was dragged back into the cat¡¯s nest by the persian cat and the whole next started vibrating.

    With Fishball¡¯s encouragement, Matcha was more spirited and ran to open the door. He saw a maroon shorthair who was observing him.

    Matcha was a little nervous and spoke, ¡°Hi, did youe here after seeing the image?¡±

    ¡°Er...¡± She observed Matcha¡¯s head and belly and was taken aback. She was taken aback and responded, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I pressed the wrong doorbell.¡±

    As he watched her leave, Matcha felt deste yet again.

    After a while, the puffy and messy Fishball came out and looked at Matcha, ¡°Not sessful?¡±

    Matcha was angered, ¡°Is there a mistake, I am a Jiangmen Scottish Fold. Why did she look at me with an expression of displeasure? I can¡¯t take this injustice.¡±

    Fishball spoke while licking his fur, ¡°If your appearance can¡¯t, you need to rely on your character.¡±

    ¡°Character?¡± Matcha looked at Fishball. Suddenly when talking about picking up chicks, this fool seemed reliable.

    Fishball sent the persian cat away. After over ten minutes, Matcha was wearing a pair of spectacles and was standing together with Fishball. While Matcha was wearing a pair of spectacles, Fishball wore a tie. These were bought by Zhao Yao previously for the cats to y with.

    Fishball introduced Matcha to the female cat, ¡°This is Sir George, he is a Scottish Fold which just returned from Ennd.¡±

    The female siamese kitten was shocked as she eyed Matcha, ¡°You are from Ennd?¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± Matcha adjusted his spectacles as he spoke.

    ¡°George just returned from Ennd and is still isn¡¯t too familiar with Mandarin.¡± Fishball added, ¡°His mother is an English shorthair while his father is a Scottish Fold. He grew up in Ennd and lived in Cambridge for a period where he specialised in biological sciences and physics.¡±

    The siamese kitten opened her little mouth as she asked curiously, ¡°Then why did you return here?¡±

    Matcha loosened his shoulders and said, ¡°Yes.¡±

    Fishball assisted in borating, ¡°His father hopes that he can return to take over the throne and he then resided beside me. He was here to borrow a book from me but little did he know he would be meeting a prettydy like you.¡±

    The siamese kitten smiled shyly, ¡°You are humorous. What book does he want to borrow?¡±

    ¡°A brief history of time. He already had one in Ennd but had forgotten to bring it here.¡± Matcha continued with an ent, ¡°Yes, Fishball, do you have this book?¡±

    From the cat¡¯s toilet, a dog¡¯s head vigorously extended out. With a face of anxiousness, he eximed, ¡°Who wants to poop? Who wants to poop? I don¡¯t know anything.¡±

    Fishball, Matcha and the female were all taken aback. Fishball rolled his eyes and said, ¡°Noodle, do you want to go wipe your mouth? You have messy things all over your mouth.¡±

    Noodle was anxious, ¡°This isn¡¯t poop. This was when I ate cat food and it mixed with water.¡±

    As Fishball looked at him escaping in great hurry, he answered the female¡¯s astonished expression, ¡°That¡¯s our household¡¯s sled dog.¡±

    The siamese kitten replied, ¡°Your household raises a dog?¡±

    He rxed his shoulders and replied surely, ¡°The George family opened a snow park in Switzend. I will be there with George every year to ski. I specially adopted one of the sled dogs from there.¡±

    The siamese kitten answered with adoration, ¡°You two are so kind.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s mouth widened in shock as he stared at Fishball. He shouted inside, ¡°You can evene up with this?!¡±

    Fishball replied, ¡°Don¡¯t spout nonsense. She is already interested in you,ter you can bring her inside to talk more.¡±

    At this moment, a rumble could be heard. Matcha looked towards the entrance and was delighted, ¡°Another cat came?¡± When he turned his head, he saw a bewildered Fishball.

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    Fishball hid in his room and shouted in his consciousness, ¡°If a cat is looking for me, tell her I¡¯m not around.¡±

    Matcha nodded with uncertainty and told the female cat, ¡°You wait for a moment, I will open the door.¡±

    Who knew that once the door was opened, a gush of seawater pinned him on the wall.

    The King of the South, Li Li, walked in. She coldly swept her eyes across the entire living room and stared at Matcha, ¡°Where¡¯s the scum, Fishball?¡±

    Matcha was stunned and replied nkly, ¡°You... You are the King of the South?¡± She was indeed the one who appeared in the battle and had the ability to create and control seawater.

    Li Li stared coldly at him and said, ¡°It¡¯s good that you know who I am. You better tell me where Fishball is or I will drown you.¡±

    ¡°Haish,¡± Matcha sighed and as he looked at the water body surrounding him, he immediately pointed towards the room that Fishball entered and said, ¡°He went in that direction.¡±

    Li Li walked towards the room and as she passed by the siamese cat, she shot her a condescending look and said, ¡°Slut.¡±

    The siamese cat was angered, ¡°Who are you scolding?¡±

    Li Li immediately opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of water which drenched her entire body.

    ¡°Ah!¡± The siamese cat was drenched and ran out with a shriek.

    As he look at the escaping siamese cat which he had convinced, Matcha gasped and extended his paws in her direction. With a look of regret, he said, ¡°Don¡¯t go.¡± It was a pity that his lower body was engulfed by Li Li¡¯s water body and he was unable to go after her.

    Matcha could only watch her leave and after Li Li bashed into the room, there was incessant screams and sounds of things breaking.

    A phone gradually floated towards the room which Fishball and Li Li were in. There was a faint sound that went, ¡°Life is interesting. I must record every detail down.¡±

    The Scottish Fold who was brought here by Fishball, Cheese, went up and shouted, ¡°Fishball, are you okay?¡±

    Fishball walked out bruised and replied with a bitter expression, ¡°I am fine. I just slipped and fell.¡±

    The water body surrounding Matcha evaporated in an instant.

    Li Li smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I was too impulsive. I thought Fishballmitted a mistake again.¡±

    The individual conversations they had after that were all held in their consciousness.

    Matcha looked at Li Li with shock and then stared at Fishball. He shouted at Fishball crazily in his consciousness, ¡°Fishball? You hooked up with the King of the South?¡±

    Fishball replied bitterly, ¡°If I knew that she was so violent, I wouldn¡¯t have bothered.¡±

    Cheese directed her thoughts at Fishball, ¡°You¡¯ve settled this female already? Do you need me to help you with her?¡± Fishball had been helping him search for his sister these few days and he was immensely grateful.

    Fishball immediately shook his head and replied, ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s all within my control.¡± He patted Cheese on his shoulders and spoke to him out loud, ¡°Cheese, don¡¯t worry. We will definitely find your sister.¡±

    Li Li looked at Cheese and Matcha scornfully. She then directed her thoughts at Fishball, ¡°Two of them? Trying to use this trick to pick up chicks?¡±

    Fishball replied, ¡°Yes, they are trying to utilise females¡¯ pity. They are scums and I couldn¡¯t take it anymore so I specially came to stop them.¡±

    Li Li warned him, ¡°Fishball, you better stop interacting with them. If I find out that you use this method to pick up girls, I would rather die.¡±

    Fishball¡¯s eyes shone and shouted in his consciousness, ¡°For real?¡±

    ¡°Drag you to die with me.¡±

    Matcha, Fishball, Cheese and Li Li were standing together but were allmunicating with their thoughts and had different oues.

    Li Li red at Matcha and Cheese and said coldly, ¡°They look normal but are actually scums.¡±

    Fishball was angered, ¡°Yeah, I didn¡¯t know they were like that. Li Li, let¡¯s go and leave this polluted ce.¡±

    ¡°Hold up,¡± Li Li replied, ¡°I want to stay here to watch.¡±

    Fishball was afraid he would be exposed and was anxious, ¡°What do you want to watch? Let¡¯s go.¡±

    Li Li shot him a look and said, ¡°What¡¯s the rush? I want to stay here and stop them from hurting other females.¡±

    Fishball proceeded to wipe cold sweat of his forehead.

    Matcha scratched his head and couldn¡¯t figure out what was going on.

    As he watched Fishball apanying Li Li to the side to converse, he helplessly directed his thought to Fishball, ¡°Fishball, Fishball, when are you done with her? What am I supposed to do now?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± While massaging Li Li, he replied, ¡°I have already taught you my skills of picking up chicks. You just carry on with Cheese, there won¡¯t be a problem.¡±

    Matcha nodded and replied with determination, ¡°Okay!¡± He walked towards Cheese and said, ¡°We will act together now.¡±

    Cheese nodded and smiled, ¡°Thanks for helping me find my sister.¡±

    ¡°Instantly in the act? Professional, Fishball¡¯s rmendation is indeed a professional.¡± Matcha¡¯s eyes shone and continued, ¡°Not bad, we need to try out best to find your sister.¡±

    After Matcha and Cheese continued finding the sister for half an hour, Matchay on the massage chair. He looked at the situation at the living room sternly.

    Two long furred females were circling Cheese as they continuously inquired about Cheese¡¯s sister.

    As he saw Cheese being much more popr, Matcha was upset, ¡°Damn it, we are both Scottish Folds. Why is he so much more popr? Do they only care about skin colour? That¡¯s so shallow.¡±

    He then turned and look at Yellow Mud. Even this trashy cat was chatting happily with a female cat. Matcha was then even more enraged.

    At the next moment, he nced to the side and saw the huskyying expressionless on the floor and his mouth was swollen like a sausage. A female cat was standing beside and asked caringly, ¡°Little doggy, what happened?¡±

    Noodle replied nkly, ¡°I¡¯m poisoned.¡±

    The female cat was heartbroken and patted his head, ¡°Pitiful little doggy.¡±

    Matcha was angered, ¡°Damn it, even this dog has a cat to apany him! Am I not evenparable to a dog?¡±

    Fishball suddenly appeared behind him, patted him on his shoulders and said, ¡°Don¡¯t belittle yourself, how are you not evenparable to a dog.¡± Fishball pointed to a flying handphone and a few small female cats chasing after it.

    ¡°Ah, you are not evenparable to a phone.¡±

    Puff! Matcha clutched his chest and with a heartache, he copsed onto his massage chair. He stared nkly at the ceiling and muttered, ¡°I¡¯m such a trashy, it¡¯s better that I¡¯m dead. Next life I want to be a tiger.¡±

    Fishball sighed, ¡°Don¡¯t give up first. There¡¯s ast resort.¡±

    Matcha replied without any emotion, ¡°What¡¯s that?¡±

    ¡°Drug,¡± Fishball said, ¡°You know catmint right? In this world, there¡¯s one in two cats that like catmint. Once they consume that, they can¡¯t think and act properly. That will be the best opportunity for you.¡±

    Matcha instantly sat up and said, Okay, I will ask people to bring catmint over.¡±

    At this moment, Li Li walked out from the toilet and shouted, ¡°Fishball? Where have you been?¡±

    ¡°Here,¡± Fishball ran over immediately.

    After a short while, Dust Ball stuck his head out from the extradimensional gate in Zhao Yao¡¯s house.

    Matcha instantly rushed over and said, ¡°Dust Ball, here, here, here.¡±

    Dust Ball surveyed the surroundings and said to Matcha, ¡°You are the one that want goods?¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes,¡± Matcha rubbed his paws together and continued, ¡°Have you brought it over?¡±

    Dust Ball replied calmly, ¡°Pay up and you will receive it.¡±

    Matcha took out of his phone and wired half the amount over. He then asked, ¡°Where¡¯s the goods? I want them.¡±

    Dust Ball looked at the amount on his phone. He smiled with satisfaction. He opened his mouth widely and spat out a bag of catmint from the extradimensional belly.

    ¡°This is a fresh product that I had cultivated myself. This is much better than those in the market and I guarantee that you will be extremely high.¡±

    Matcha extended his paw and slit open the package of catmint. He then retrieved a tiny bit of leaves and smelled it before licking it.

    Immediately, a joyful expression appeared on his face, ¡°Yes, this is good stuff.¡±

    At this moment, a voice sounded out from inside the extradimensional belly, ¡°What are you all doing? I¡¯m going to tell Zhao Yao!¡±

    Dust Bal leapt up in shock and shouted madly, ¡°Stupid Matcha! You betrayed me?¡±

    Matcha extended his ws and was enraged, ¡°There¡¯s an informat? Dust Ball, you want to drag us both down?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not the informant.¡±

    Dust Ball and Matcha looked in the direction of the extradimensional gate and saw a cat¡¯s face pressed against the gate. Because Dust Ball did not give permission for any other supercats to ess, the cat¡¯s face seemed to be distorted as it pressed against the gate.

    Matcha briefly exhaled, ¡°Oh, it¡¯s Rice Cake. Why did you put him in the extradimensional belly?¡±

    Dust Ball exhaled too, ¡°Zhao Yao wanted all the supercats at the shop to be able to enter the extradimensional belly. When we want to use the toilet, we will use the one in the extradimensional belly. If not we will waste Matsuo¡¯s and Faceless¡¯ efforts.¡±

    Rice Cake¡¯s head continued leaning on the gate and said, ¡°Matcha, you¡¯re not sick at all and you are still taking in catmint! And Dust Ball, you neglect your work during office hours, I¡¯m going to tell Zhao Yao!¡±

    Dust Ball immediately jumped into the extradimensional belly and covered Rice Cake¡¯s mouth, ¡°You want to expose us? Dream on!¡±

    Rice Cake began struggling and let out muffled sounds.

    Matcha shouted at the side, ¡°Rice Cake, if you don¡¯t want us to kill you, you are not allowed to speak. Do you understand?¡±

    Rice Cake instantly kept blinking. But once Dust Ball released his grasp, Rice Cake shouted, ¡°I want go y games at home!¡±

    Dust Ball and Matcha exchanged a helpless nce and ended up agreeing to his request.

    Hence, Rice Cake happily came out of the extradimensional gate and ran in front of theputer to being gaming.

    Matcha took the catmint and started distributing them out.

    After the females consumed the catmint, they eithery on the floor, rolled around or looked dazed. Matcha was instantly happy.

    ¡°It¡¯s finally my turn.¡± Matcha licked his lips and headed towards a female cat. But as he was approaching, he was shot by a burst of water. He fell on the floor drenched.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Li Li coldly observed Matcha and she looked like she was ready to kill him if he said something wrong. ¡°Let me tell you, as I¡¯m here today, don¡¯t dream about doing whatever you intend to.¡±

    Matcha couldn¡¯t stand being stared at. However, his eyes brightened and smiled, ¡°He he, in this world, there¡¯s no cat or human that can stop me. Because my ability is the best in this world.¡±

    At the next moment, Li Li felt the Matcha in front of her flickered and then he sighed before lying on the ground with a look of satisfaction.

    Scream could be heard from a female cat.

    Li Li shouted, ¡°What did you do?¡±

    ¡°He he he he,¡± Matcha looked at her proudly and replied calmly, ¡°You don¡¯t understand? You¡¯re feeling anxious? Just try stopping me.¡± At the next instant, his body flickered again and a scream came from another female cat.

    Li Li red at him.

    Matcha had a satisfied look andughed, ¡°This is my ability! Just because you are the King of the South, you can¡¯t stop me.¡±

    Matcha slowly stood up and continued, ¡°I¡¯m not the me in the past. As the strongest supercat in the world, I don¡¯t need any morals, rules or methods! I only need my own ability to achieve what I want to!¡±

    Heughed maniacally, ¡°Whatever I want! I will take it myself!¡±

    After hearing that boisterousugh, Li Li felt a gush of energy rush to her head. Even though she did not know what Matcha did, she still felt very disgusted.

    As Li Li was about to act again, Fishball stopped her and said, ¡°That¡¯s enough. Don¡¯t lower yourself to her level, he¡¯s been single for too long and turned crazy.¡±

    Rice Cake was happily ying his game and someone unknowingly appeared beside her. It was Cheese who was finding his sister.

    This Scottish Fold observed Rice Cake¡¯s ears and went up to the front to face Rice Cake. He carefully observed his face and his eyes gradually became brighter.

    Rice Cake couldn¡¯t stand being stared at for much longer and spoke, ¡°What are you looking at, what¡¯s so nice to look at.¡±

    Cheese was taken aback and replied, ¡°On your rear paw, is there a heart-shaped birthmark?¡±

    Rice Cake was angered, ¡°When did you look at my paw?¡±

    Cheese smiled warmly and tried to imitate him but Rice Cake waved him off.

    Cheese shook his head. After looking at Rice Cake¡¯s angry expression, Cheese wasn¡¯t angered but he replied even more gently, ¡°Only with such an attitude can she survive in this world.¡±

    He pitifully look at her paw, ¡°I didn¡¯t steal a look at your paw. I know your birthmark because I am your brother.¡±

    Rice Cake looked at Cheese with shock, ¡°Brother?¡±

    ¡°Yes, have you forgotten?¡± Cheese replied slowly, ¡°When we couldn¡¯t remember, we were already abandoned. We didn¡¯t even know where father and mother had went already. The two of us lived together. But once when I went out to search for food, you were gone when I returned.¡±

    Rice Cake frowned, ¡°I seemed to remember that for a bit.¡±

    Cheese continued, ¡°You are 19 months old right? Your favourite is mutton right? You had fractured your tail before and that was because some cat had bitten it before when we were on the streets...¡±

    As Cheese continued describing in detail, Rice Cake was further in shock. All these pieces of information could be individually known by the other cats but no cat would know all of them. There was only one possibility.

    Rice Cake was angered, ¡°You investigated about me? Did you follow me? That¡¯s disgusting.¡± Rice Cake simply could not remember having a brother.

    Cheese replied helplessly, ¡°Before we were separated, you weren¡¯t awaken. You were still small, perhaps that¡¯s why you don¡¯t remember but I¡¯m telling you the truth. Are you called Rice Cake now? Rice Cake, follow me.¡±

    Rice Cake frowned, ¡°I have no interest.¡± She continued looking at her screen, ¡°You go away, don¡¯t interrupt me.¡±

    Cheese looked at the screen and didn¡¯t understand what was the fun about the moving characters.

    Cheese said sternly, ¡°Rice Cake, I know that perhaps couldn¡¯t ept this in such a short time, but I need you to leave with me.¡±

    He looked at Matcha and the rest who were still arguing, he sighed, ¡°This world is changing rapidly and there is a huge potential for supercats. Although your buddies are good but they are simply too weak for the dangerous future. If you stay in a human city with them, it¡¯s extremely unsafe.¡±

    RIce Cake rolled her eyes and as she thought about Zhao Yao¡¯s power while ying her game, she said, ¡°I already feel safe enough.¡±

    ¡°No, you don¡¯t understand. In such a safe environment, you are unaware of the drastic and rapid changes on the outside.¡± Cheese looked at Matcha and Cheese who was lying on the sofa.

    Matcha was introduced as the champion supercat in thepetition by Fishball. This proimed King of Jiangmen City was actually weak. His ability was merely teleportation.

    As for Fishball, even though they had a great time these few days and he imed that he was king of a district, his ability was a joke.

    There was not much to say about the other cats who could fly or be invisible and even the speaking dog.

    Dust Ball¡¯s ability to open the teleportation door was interesting but inbat, it was simply too weak in battle.

    Rice Cake¡¯s buddies were great, they were interesting, friendly and were happy together. Cheese liked them.

    However good they were, they were too weak. As they were domestic cats for too long, they weren¡¯t aggressive anymore. As they just lived without a purpose, Rice Cake would follow them and became weak like a city cat.

    With the changes ingoing, they would not be able to protect Rice Cake. She had to leave with him.

    Furthermore, the operation on Cat Ind had already started. There wasn¡¯t time to convince, the next time they would understand why he was doing this.

    Cheese did not deliberate anymore. With a tap on the floor, the floor beneath him became floating and wrapped Rice Cake in a stone. With a thud, it knocked the wall open and flew out.

    Matcha and Dust Ball were shocked at what they saw and eximed, ¡°What are you doing?!¡±

    Cheese did not care about them but instead looked in the direction of Fishball and Noodle who had apanied him these few days.

    ¡°Fishball, Noodle, if you all stay here, you will be exterminated. Follow me, you will be grateful in the future.¡±

    After he finished, the pieces of floor flew up and epassed the two of them too and flew out like shooting stars.

    ¡°What are you doing!¡± Li Li howled. Gushes of water were directed from her mouth to Cheese.

    In terms of brute force, Li Li had sufficient energy as her water power was that of a tsunami.

    However, in terms of speed, she was subpar aspared to Cheese.

    Bursts of water were struck onto Cheese. The floor beneath him flew up with a whizz. With a whole bunch of smashed rocks, the wall flew into the sky.

    However, Nekomata retaliated. The powerful phantom grabbed onto Cheese and hung onto him.

    Li Li¡¯s bursts of water then struck him.

    ¡°Psychokinesis and control of water? You are more powerful than I thought.¡± Cheese muttered, ¡°But that¡¯s all, the world outside is much more vast than this small little ce.¡±

    Cheese¡¯s mouth opened slightly and revealed a little pebble that was held in his mouth. The pebble shone. Nekomata and Li Li felt a burst of energy emanating from him which dismantled their resistance.

    The room was torn into two and half of it flew up to a height of a hundred metres as it carried onto the rocks of Rice Cake, Fishball and Noodles and flew in the direction of the East China Sea.

    Streaks of water surrounded Li Li as she furiously gave chase.

    Matcha and Dust Ball were stunned as they witnessed the destruction. The floor was smashed, the walls were cracked and the outer walls were blown apart along with the furniture.

    The female cats shrieked and escaped upon this sight.

    Matcha fell onto the ground. He stared at the sight and said dejectedly, ¡°Fishball, I am done.¡±

    When Zhao Yao exited from the extradimensional belly, Matcha felt time came to a standstill.

    ¡°Zhao... Zhao Yao...¡± Matcha muttered, ¡°I was lying in bed resting when someone bashed in and took Rice Cake away!¡±

    Zhao Yao stared gloomily at the wreckage. He frowned and questioned, ¡°Who did this?¡±

    ¡°A Scottish Fold,¡± Matcha replied, ¡°He imed that he was Rice Cake¡¯s brother and wanted to bring her away. Of course I disagreed and tried my best to stop him. I managed to grab him in the face...¡±

    ¡°Stop talking nonsense,¡± Zhao Yao kneeled on the floor and observed the footprint. He twitched his nose and asked, ¡°Did a lot of cats came here?¡±

    ¡°Uh...¡± Matcha panicky replied, ¡°I was sick, a lot of my friends came over to visit. Zhao Yao, you know I have a lot of connections...¡±

    Zhao Yao red at him and said, ¡°I will settle with you after investigating on this matter.¡±

    Matcha immediately heaved a sigh of relief as he survived temporarily.

    Zhao Yao walked around and touched the cracked walls, exploded pipes and the water puddles, footprints. He sniffed and asked, ¡°Fishball and Noodle was here too?¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± Matcha replied, ¡°They specially came to visit me and they were taken away too by this damn Scottish Fold. There was Li Li too who went after him.¡±

    At this moment, Zhao Yao saw a mission the tablet.

    Task: Save cats and capture the culprit!

    Mission: Save your cats! Make the culpritpensate for your repair fees, mental damagepensation, recuperation fees along with 108 others.

    Punishment for failing toplete: None

    As he looked at the content, Zhao Yao nodded contently. The Book was still fair and perfectly described his request.

    Zhao Yao turned and looked at Matcha, ¡°Where¡¯s he now? And where¡¯s Nekomata?¡±

    Matcha was slightly taken aback, ¡°I don¡¯t know. When Cheese escaped, Nekomata disappeared too.¡±

    ¡°The security of this house is too low. Looks like after this, I am going to change a house. But before that, that cat named Cheese is dead.¡± Zhao Yao said sternly.

    After listening to Matcha¡¯s replied, he thought as he rubbed his chin, ¡°This Nekomata chased him? It seems like I can¡¯t connect with him, let me try to find...¡±

    ...

    One day during the winter vacations, Xiao Yu was back home after ying with her friends. She opened the front door and shouted, ¡°Fishball, Noodle, help me keep the clothes.¡±

    However after her calling, they didn¡¯t appear.

    ¡°Eh? What happened? Where did they go?¡± Xiao Yu walked to the front of the table and opened her homework. She casually flipped through them and was enraged, ¡°Damn it, these two fellows. Didn¡¯t I ask them to help me copy? They didn¡¯t even do anything, did they go out to y?¡±

    Xiao Yu picked up her phone, wore her coat and ran to the district to search for them but still didn¡¯t managed to after some time.

    At this moment, her phone rang and she saw that it was Zhao Yao calling her/

    ¡°Zhao Yao? Why did you call me?¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°Xiao Yu, your cat and dog were taken away. Nekomata should be chasing them. Can you contact him?¡±

    Zhao Yao rushed through his message and with the information he conveyed, Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment. ¡°What did you say? A cat captured my cat and dog!?¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± Zhao Yao replied, ¡°You try to connect with Nekomata to locate them. I will call you in a while.¡±

    After hanging up, Zhao Yao called Uncle Ho and described in detail.

    After hanging up the call, Zhao Yao¡¯s handphone rang. He answered, ¡°How¡¯s it?¡±

    Xiao Yu shouted, ¡°It didn¡¯t go through.¡±

    Zhao Yao focused and said, ¡°With his ability, he wouldn¡¯t be caught. It should be that he haven¡¯t found the opportunity to link up with us.¡±

    Xiao Yu panicked, ¡°Ah? What should we do?¡±

    Afterall, Xiao Yu was still a student. Her cat and dog were missing all of a sudden and it was understandable that she was anxious.

    ¡°Don¡¯t panic. They can¡¯t escape.¡± Zhao Yao looked at his phone and said, ¡°I pick up a call first. Let¡¯s talkter.¡±

    Uncle Ho¡¯s call came through, ¡°We captured some images at the East China Sea. Check if it was your captured cat.¡±

    Zhao Yao was shocked, ¡°Taken from the East China Sea? Would this have to do with the fog?¡±

    A vast area of fog had appeared on the East China Sea recently. Those who have entered have lost connections. Before this, Uncle Ho had seeked advice from him and he had agreed to take a look in the next few days.

    He opened his messenger and looked at the photos Uncle Ho sent. There were three stones and arge roof travelling across the sky.

    Zhao Yao squinted and ced the photo in front of Matcha and asked, ¡°Is this the cat?¡±

    Matcha instantly jumped and shouted, ¡°That¡¯s him! That¡¯s him! That¡¯s him!¡±

    Zhao Yao dialed Uncle Ho¡¯s number and said, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that they have entered the fog?¡±

    Uncle Ho felt helpless and answered, ¡°It seemed so.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and replied, ¡°I understand. I will go into the fogter to find the cats. You let me know the location of it.¡±

    Uncle Ho was delighted. They have tried multiple methods to investigate this fog but to no avail. Now that Zhao Yao was willing to do it, that was the best.

    As he spoke, he lowered his head and saw police cars outside his window. There were also residents who were pointing around and he said, ¡°Oh yes, my house was unders attack and police came. Help me find people to lockdown the area and don¡¯t let anyone enter.¡±

    After finishing his conversation with Uncle Ho, he called Xiao Yu, ¡°Hello, I sort of know their whereabouts. Did you manage to contact Nekomata?¡±

    ¡°He didn¡¯t reply,¡± Xiao Yu was still anxious and asked, ¡°Where did they go?¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned and thought to himself. There was no reply now probably because while Nekomata was following him and to not reveal himself, he did not initiate any contact. With the opponent¡¯s ability, it would still be extremely hard to capture him even if he was invisible the whole way.

    But Nekomata didn¡¯t know that once he entered the fog, he would lose all connections with the outside world.

    Til here, Zhao Yao looked at Xiao Yu and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Just stay at home, I will rescue them back.¡±

    ¡°No! I want to follow you! Besides rescuing Fishball and Noodle, the culprit need topensate us! I didn¡¯t even do my homework when I left to find the cats!¡±

    Zhao Yao muttered, ¡°... don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll get everything back for you.¡±

    This was not the answer Xiao Yu wanted as she refuted anxiously, ¡°No way! You have to bring me along! I am a minor! I will make a difference during the crucial moments!¡±

    As Xiao Yu¡¯s exasperated voice continued to echo in Zhao Yao¡¯s ears, a body of ck gas had already agglomerated before his very eyes. Piece by piece, Xiao Yu had materialized before him.

    Evidently, she had rushed over the moment she received this piece of traumatic news.

    ¡°This is not a plea, it is an instruction! Bring me along!¡± Rage poisoned her veins as she continued reasoning, ¡°Do you know that no power is capable of capturing me if I choose to hide from them? I will catch that outrageous thief with my very own hands!¡±

    Seeing his favorite exmation mark floating above Xiao Yu¡¯s head, Zhao Yao grudgingly gave in to her, ¡°Since you¡¯re so adamant to contribute to this effort, I shall just bring you along then.¡±

    Those words were music to Xiao Yu¡¯s ears as a wide grin stretched across her face, ¡°So you¡¯re agreeing to bring me along?¡±

    With his eyes staring intently at the exmation mark, Zhao Yao nodded his head, ¡°You want me to help you, don¡¯t you?¡±

    ¡°What are you trying to say?¡± Xiao Yu asked with her forehead furrowed together, ¡°Why I do feel as if you are talking to someone else?¡±

    Zhao Yao interrupted her, ¡°Just stop your bbering. The expert here is bringing you along to catch the cat thief. He is asking if you want to board the car.¡±

    ¡°Yes, I want!¡±

    Zhao Yao epted the mission instantly. Consequently, the mission panel reflected the corresponding changes.

    Mission: Help Xiao Yu find Fish Ball and Noodle

    Objective: Assist an elementary school student in her search for her beloved pets and catch the thief responsible for it. Make him apologize to Xiao Yu specifically.

    Reward: 1000 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    Zhao Yao nodded his head with a contented glee shining on his face, ¡°One mission, two rewards. I guess this isn¡¯t that bad after all.¡±

    By stretching his mouth wide open, Matcha immediately leaped into it and entered the extradimensional belly. With that, Zhao Yao also stepped into the invisible extradimensional gates as his body whizzed forward.

    ¡°Follow me.¡±

    Xiao Yu morphed into her invisible spirit form and followed closely behind his nephew. She asked, ¡°Where are we going?¡±

    A calm voice rang in her ears, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Just follow me. The professional will lead the way. Your only responsibility is to p for me when it¡¯s all done.¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, Cheese and the three levitating rocks had traversed across the vast sky and noticed the giant body of fog looming towards him.

    However, he was no stranger to this. In fact, he was extremely familiar with it. With no hesitation at all, he plunged headfirst into this mysterious object.

    However, a magical thing urred the moment he dove in. The body of fog directly ahead of him began to spiral to the side as a narrow passage emerged. It seemed as if it was guiding Cheese forward.

    Momentster, Cheese descended on a beautiful ind along with the rocks.

    A tiny shadow was seen sprinting across the sandy beaches from afar. It was actually a Dragon Li which weed Cheese with a wide grin, ¡°My brother, you have finally returned? Have you managed to find your sister?¡±

    ¡°Kimchi brother, I have found my sister!¡± Both cats jumped forward and embraced each other in a warm hug, ¡°Other than my sister, I also brought along two new brothers. However, they still do not understand ...¡±

    Kimchi cut him off with a thunderous bellow as he reasoned, ¡°I understand. After all, weren¡¯t we all like them when we first arrived on the ind? It¡¯s only a matter of time before theye to their senses. Then, they¡¯ll thank us for everything.¡±

    The two cats sauntered along the beach with three rocks levitating behind them. These three rocks were none other than the restrained Fish Ball, Noodle, and Rice Cake.

    A few minutester, the duo once again bypassed anotheryer of thick fog before arriving at a beautiful creek. This ce was astounding. It was blessed with perpetual spring, rewarding the inhabitants with weather that most could only dream of.

    Supercats could be seen all over the ce. Some of them were running around while otherszed beneath the canopy of the Eucalyptus trees. Others were chasing butterflies as their agile bodies pranced across thendscaped vistas.

    In the far corner stood rows and rows of tiny cottages lined neatly against one another. It was a small vige. It was also where the supercats lived. You could even spot traces of humans¡¯ shadow weaving through it. It seemed like they were either feeding the cats or ying with them.

    Even Cheese had to draw in a long breath as he took in this amazing scenery, ¡°This is beautiful! This is our country! I don¡¯t know why but I always get butterflies fluttering in my stomach the moment I look at this ce in its entirety.¡±

    Kimchi, who stood by his side,ughed along and reminded him, ¡°Let¡¯s continue walking and meet Cat Sage. The sage has been expecting you for quite some time.¡±

    ¡°Wait a second.¡± He nced at the three rocks behind him as a thin crack appeared down the middle of the rock, exposing the beautiful surroundings to them.

    Fish Ball¡¯s deafening howls punctured the serenity, ¡°Cheese, you¡¯ve got the wrong guy! My owner is just a penniless elementary school student! Her allowance is less than RMB 100. There is no way you can get any money out of her!¡±

    Noodle¡¯s clumsy fingers traced the curvature of his sausage lips as he demanded, ¡°Can you send me to a hospital? The pain is getting worse by the second!¡±

    Rice Cake rammed her head against the tiny crack as she screamed, ¡°Cheese, you b*stard! What do you want from me? Quickly! Let me out this instant!¡±

    Inundated with their awful screams, Cheese simply responded with a nonchnt smile. He then directed their attention to the gorgeous sight before them and exined, ¡°The cities which humans live in are not your true homes. Do you see it? This is a cat¡¯s true home, our heaven. This is where we truly belong.¡±

    Cheese and Kimchi continued making their way towards the vige while introducing the spectacles in front of them.

    It was not a huge ind. In the past, no one lived on it. It was as good as a deserted ind.

    Hence, even though it was currently inhabited by intelligent super-cats, it was stillpletely devoid of electricity or inte. Everything here was more primitive and rustic.

    However, the cats living here did not mind at all. They were contented with the nature surrounding them.

    ¡°This kind of backward farming vige ...¡± Rice Cake scoffed as she noticed a cat burying its feces withyers of soil. Suddenly, terror shed in her eyes as she shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that there is no wifi in this ce!¡±

    Cheese was stunned by her sudden wrath and asked, ¡°Wi what? What are you talking about?¡±

    Evidently, Cheese had spent the majority of his time on this ind since awakening. Hence, he had no clue what these phones andputers which they spoke of were. Even after spending the past few days with Fish Ball, he was still perplexed by these gadgets that flooded the human world.

    Those words echoed in Rice Cake¡¯s ears like those bone-chilling nightmares. Words failed her at that moment as she uttered the word which sinctly described her predicament, ¡°F*ck!¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao and Xiao Yu were making a beeline towards the fog region.

    However, Zhao Yao¡¯s heart skipped a beat the moment they came to the vast sea.

    ¡°Wait a moment!¡± Zhao Yao threw his hand forward, stopping Xiao Yu from continuing forward. His wary eyes began to examine his surroundings in an attempt to identify the source of his uneasiness.

    Since earning more powers with ¡®five is better than four¡¯, Zhao Yao had enjoyed significant improvements to his observation and perceptive skills. They had proved to be rather handy the past few times.

    Hence, he was extremely confident in his abilities. Currently, the tremendous threat which he felt was unprecedented. It felt as if someone had wrapped their hands around his heart and started squeezing against it.

    However, he just couldn¡¯t seem to identify the source despite how hard he tried.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Zhao Yao stared at the boundless sea as worry started to creep into him, ¡°Why can¡¯t I find it? Is this the effect of a certain superpower?¡±

    Xiao Yu was confused by Zhao Yao¡¯s behavior and asked, ¡°What happened, Zhao Yao? What are you searching for?¡±

    Suddenly, both their expressions changed in unison as their eyes met a beach hidden beyond the vast sea.

    At the start, they noticed some obvious vibrations down the coastlines. Because of the moving of the tectonic tes beneath the sea, a giant wave emerged and came crashing towards the coastlines.

    However, this anomaly disappeared as quickly as it came.

    Zhao Yao was tunned, ¡°Is this an earthquake?¡± He was struck with a bad feeling, ¡°I hope not.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 471: The Tour</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    ¡°D*mn it, what exactly did these guys do to Rice Cake?¡±

    After all, an earthquake was nomon urrence in Jiangmen City. Meanwhile, the onset of the earthquake coincided perfectly with Rice Cake¡¯s disappearance. Even an idiot would suspect that Rice Cake had something to do with it. Just one year ago, Rice Cake did cause a small-scale earthquake within Jiangmen City because of her bodily pains.

    With worry continually gnawing at him, Zhao Yao sped up even more as he shouted in Xiao Yu¡¯s direction, ¡°Hurry up!¡±

    Xiao Yu was bewildered by Zhao Yao¡¯s sudden change in tone and asked, ¡°What happened?¡±

    Zhao Yao responded in his usual calm voice, ¡°I have a bad feeling.¡±

    With that said, he had already bolted forward, moving in the direction which Inspector Ho had pointed towards.

    ...

    Meanwhile, Cheese was baffled by Rice Cake¡¯s behavior. She just kept crying and showed no signs of stopping anytime soon.

    Kimchi added, ¡°I think there was a slight vibration just now.¡±

    ¡°Hmph,¡± Cheese had no time for Kimchi¡¯s baseless worries. Instead, his sight was fixed on that pair of watery eyes. Rice Cake started to roll across the ground with tears streaming down her crimson cheeks. Cheese felt a pain searing through him and responded, ¡°Rice Cake, just look at what the humans have done to you. You cannot continue to pander to your addiction. All these humans¡¯ toys will only make your actions tardy. You should join us and y actual games.¡±

    Anger seared through her as Rice Cake retorted, word by word, ¡°I! Want! My! Inte!¡±

    Cheese could only shake his head in despair. They continued to traverse across the vast grasnds with cats happily chasing after one another. Their angelicughter was music to anyone¡¯s ears. This sort of y allowed the cats to hone their hunting techniques.

    ¡°Just look at how much fun they¡¯re having! This is our tradition! It allows us to improve and be better hunters!¡± Cheese descended to the ground and picked up a furball before walking towards Rice Cake. A wide grin spread across his face as he uttered, ¡°Rice Cake, join me and have some fun! This will make you forget about all those useless stuff.¡±

    In a split second, the rocks which used to immobilize Rice Cake vaporized into thin air and exposed her true body.

    Fish Ball sprang on this opportunity and shouted, ¡°This looks like so much fun! I would love to y with that furball!¡±

    Suddenly, Noodle¡¯s concerned voice rang in Fish Ball¡¯s ear, ¡°Fish Ball, I¡¯m starting to lose sensation in my lips. Is this a sign of recovery?¡±

    Meanwhile, Cheese had gently set the furball on the ground. With a light tap, the furball had rolled all the way to Rice Cake¡¯s feet.

    Excitement shot out of Cheese¡¯s eyes as he looked towards Rice Cake with a brilliant smile, ¡°Rice Cake, throw that back to me.¡±

    ¡°Childish,¡± Rice Cake slid Cheese a condescending re as if he were a r*tard. She mmed against the furball with all her might, hurling it into the air before it disappeared amongst the bushes.

    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Instantly, the surrounding supercats sprang into action and went straight for the furball. Rice Cake¡¯s lips curled with disdain as she sneered, ¡°A bunch of country bumpkins.¡±

    Cheese let out that same sigh of despair andmented, ¡°Rice Cake, you are still a cat and this is what a cat should do.¡± However, Rice Cake waspletely indifferent to his words. Instead, her annoyance red.

    However, Cheese was not about to give up. After that, he brought Rice Cake to arge plot ofnd that was covered with a unique white rock. At least 10 supercats were using it to sharpen their ws.

    A perplexed expression distorted Rice Cake¡¯s features as she asked, ¡°What are they doing?¡±

    Overwhelmed with nostalgia, Cheese answered, ¡°These young supercats are training their ws. Every time they sharpen them, they will break and re-grow into stronger, sharper and more deadly ws. I, too, used to train here when I was younger.¡±

    At the same time, Cheese threw his paw in the air and revealed five razor-sharp ws. He slowly ran his paw against the white rock as five straight lines emerged.

    Brimming with pride, Cheese stared at his wonderful creation and continued, ¡°Do you see this? Originally, this wide field was covered with your usual rocks. However, after countless cats have gone through this rigorous training and left behind the multiple scratch marks, these rocks have turned white.¡±

    Cheese¡¯s eyes darted towards Rice Cake and asked, ¡°Rice Cake, do you want to try? When our superpower fails us, our ws and our fangs will be our final weapons.¡±

    Rice Cake¡¯s face scrunched into a grimace as she watched the young supercats¡¯ ws break in two as their training progressed. She could not help butment, ¡°This is too primitive, too barbaric. Back home, Zhao Yao helps me trim my nails.¡±

    Cheese immediately interrupted her words, ¡°Humans do that because they fear our true power! Rice Cake, you must forget about your past and revert to a true cat!¡±

    Fish Ball added, ¡°Rice Cake, I agree with him. You should just stay here while we return and exin everything to Zhao Yao.¡±

    Cheese immediately shot Fish Ball a look of disdain and sneered, ¡°Fish Ball, you too must stay here. Just take a look at yourself. Humans have enticed you with so much food that you can barely jump over a tiny wall.¡±

    With his voice shaking with embarrassment, Fish Ball replied, ¡°Actually, I prefer to use the door.¡±

    Suddenly, Noodle stretched his mouth open and stuck out his long tongue saying, ¡°I suddenly feel so much better. However, why are there so many dogs around? Are they all superdogs?¡±

    After walking for another 300 meters, a small cabin emerged before them. It reeked of the smell of blood. Tens of fishes wereid neatly in a row, with one cat standing opposite each fish. Suddenly, they began to tear the fishes into pieces with their ws and fangs. Some of the fishes were still alive as the cats devoured them.

    ¡°What the f*ck?¡± Rice Cake could not believe her eyes, ¡°What are they trying to do?¡±

    ¡°They¡¯re eating.¡± Kimchi exined, ¡°These are fishes freshly caught from the surrounding sea. I have to admit, they taste pretty good.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m asking you why you have to eat them raw.¡± Rice Cake watched as a cat severed a fish¡¯s head into two with fresh blood dripping from the corner of its lips. Rice Cake shut her eyes in disgust and muttered, ¡°Disgusting.¡±

    ¡°Disgusting?¡± Kimchi quivered with indignation, ¡°We have been eating fresh fishes since the dawn of time. This helps with our muscle growth and makes our teeth stronger. This is what we should eat!¡±

    ¡°Enough!¡± Rice Cake¡¯s body locked up with rage, ¡°I do not want to spend another minute in this d*mned ce! Bring me back now! Immediately!¡± Following her deafening roar, her body began to vibrate. A barely visible mist emerged, shrouding her entire body.

    Cheese could only shake his head and sighed, ¡°Rice Cake, it seems like there is much that you have to learn. You will thank me after you¡¯ve grown ustomed to this ce.¡±

    With that, he mmed his paw against the ground. Immediately, blocks of soil broke off from the ground and flew towards Rice Cake, encapsting her body within it.

    ¡°Let me out!¡± Rice Cake continued to protest, ¡°I want my inte! I want my games! I do not want to stay in this backward ce! I¡¯d rather die! All you primitive cats! Country bumpkins! All you b*stards! Zhao Yao will never forgive you!¡±

    Cheese could only shake his head in despair. He cocked his head skywards as he levitated, along with the giant mass of soil, towards the tallest mountain on the ind.

    Halfway into their flight, the ind started to shake. The vibration grew stronger and stronger as waves emerged from the sea and crashed into one another.

    Cheese stared at this scene in disbelief. Instantly, he turned his head towards Kimchi and asked, ¡°Are you doing this?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not. I¡¯m only capable of changing the weather. I cannot create a tsunami or an earthquake!¡± Kimchi too looked confused as he replied, ¡°Maybe it¡¯s just a coincidence?¡±

    However, the vibration ended as abruptly as it started. Hence, Cheese and Kimchi decided to ignore it as they continued flying towards the top. The owner of this ind, Cat Sage, sat there awaiting them.

    Rice Cake followed behind, albeit unwillingly, as they approached a breathtaking building perched on the top of the mountain.

    Before even setting foot on the marble floor, they could already sense a peculiar matter floating in the air.

    Instinctively, Fish Ball drew in a deep breath, washing his lungs with this unique air. To his amazement, a mysterious force swept through his body as he gasped in excitement, ¡°What is this?¡±

    Cheese replied with a gentle smile, ¡°This is the power of the sage rock.¡±

    Instead of quelling his curiosity, it made Fish Ball even more excited, ¡°What is a sage rock?¡±

    However, Cheese chose to remain silent and replied with that same smile. Then, he led them through the giant gates and into the spectacr hallway. Inside, the mysterious feeling only intensified. This feeling materialized out of thin air and pervaded every single living cell within Fish Ball¡¯s body.

    At that moment, Fish Ball felt an exponential increase in strength. He had turned from an ordinary torchlight into a blinding spotlight.

    Before he could continue relishing in this inexplicable feeling, he was distracted by the interiors of the building. Five or six supercats were strewn all across, with some sitting, lying and resting on the cushions and cat beds present. Their eyes were barely open and it seemed like they were on the verge of sleeping. They simply slid them a nce when they heard their approach.

    In the center of the imposing buildingy a rock which was barely the size of a brain. Fish Ball instantly recognized it to be the source of that mysterious feeling.

    However, what caught Fish Ball by surprise was not this seemingly ordinary rock but the tiny rat stretched across it. With its eyes squinted into a tiny line, it seemed like it was enjoying itself.

    With Cheese leading the fore, the rest followed behind quickly. Cheese bent his knees as his head inclined forward for a bow, ¡°Cat Sage, I have returned.¡±

    Fish Ball¡¯s jaws went ck as he watched the event urred before his eyes, ¡°Isn¡¯t this just an ordinary rat? Why are they treating him like their boss? Have they gone out of their minds?¡±

    Immediately, Fish Ball¡¯s brazen words were met with Kimchi¡¯s furious gaze as he retorted, ¡°Shut your nonsense. The Cat Sage is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. He can be whatever he wishes to, be it a rat, a tiger or even a dragon. He had merely adopted a rat¡¯s body for convenience sake.¡±

    Fish Ball could only stare at this seemingly ordinary rat in amazement. At the same time, the rat¡¯s eyelids began to quiver before revealing his beady eyes. Those pair of beady eyes began to scrutinize Fish Ball, followed by Noodle and finally Rice Cake. With a genial smile, he asked, ¡°Cheese, have you brought some new friends back to us?¡±

    Cheese nodded his head before removing a chunk of soil from Rice Cake¡¯s body, revealing her tiny head. Immediately, Rice Cake reciprocated with a death re directed straight at him.

    ¡°Haha,¡± Cat Sage¡¯s deep yet gentle voice reverberated in all their heads, ¡°I would like to extend a heartfelt wee to all of you into our big family. From today onwards, you will be a part of us. You will be our brothers. I hope that you can look out for one another. One for all, all for one.¡±

    With that, Cat Sage floated in mid-air as a whiff of green smoke plunged towards Fish Ball, Rice Cake, and Noodle. Instantly, it had morphed into a menacing Bengal Tiger with his razor-sharp ws coupled with a whip-like tail. Fish Ball could even detect the stench of blood in his breath as shivers ran down his spine.

    Only Rice Cake remained in her defensive posture as she continued to gnash at him, adamant to stand her ground.

    In his Bengal Tiger form, Cat Sage began to walk around them in circles, slowly. He took a few quick sniffs before exining, ¡°Cat Ind might be a big and happy family. However, there is no such thing as free lunch. You have to work for your food. Nothinges without hard work. If you put in your best, Cat Ind will definitely reciprocate ordingly.¡±

    With his eyes glued to that mysterious rock, Fish Ball asked daringly, ¡°What is the matter with that rock there?¡± Fish Ball¡¯s eyes had never left that rock the moment he set foot in this ce. Just the thought of it being able to strengthen his superpower made Fish Ball drunk with happiness.

    Cat Sage replied with a cordial smile, ¡°This rock came from beyond the sky. It holds an unbelievable power.

    I¡¯m sure you guys have felt it as well. It can increase your strength. However, this rock has its limits. Within a given time frame, the number of supercats that it can influence is limited. Hence, only the most gifted of supercats are allowed to stay here and continue to receive the gift of the sage rock.¡±

    Immediately, Fish Ball and Noodle¡¯s face were ovee with awe. Cat Sage noticed it and spoke in an alluring tone, ¡°Tell me about your gifts.¡±

    ...

    Above the sea, Zhao Yao and Xiao Yu stared at the thickyer of fog obstructing their way. With no hesitation, they plunged into it. However, this was no ordinary fug with its unusually low visibility. You couldn¡¯t see anything which fell beyond the one-meter radius zone.

    Zhao Yao stretched his arm out of the gate and shouted, ¡°This fog is too thick! Grab on to my arm!¡±

    Hand in hand, the duo continued to fly through the thick fog slowly. However, after more than 10 minutes of aimless flying, they were still shrouded by more fog and sounds of crashing waves ringing in their ears. It seemed as if they had not moved a single inch.

    Xiao Yu rified, ¡°Are you sure they¡¯re really inside the fog? What exactly is inside this fog?¡±

    At this moment, Zhao Yao pressed his index finger against his lips, gesturing Xiao Yu to keep her mouth shut. His ears quivered as he recognized the distant rumbling sound.

    On a sandy beach not too far away, two muscr blonde men had just descended on the shores.

    They were d in military gears and armed with the most sophisticated weapons. They seemed like they were from the Special Forces.

    A tinge of hesitation shed across their eyes as they stared at this seemingly borderless fog.

    The density of this fog definitely fell out of the norm.

    A middle-aged Caucasian man spoke, ¡°Number 0¡¯s control over aerolites has improved considerably. The supercats working under him are definitely no pushovers.¡±

    ¡°How strong can he possibly get? The aerolite is merely the size of my fist. All he can do is bully those country bumpkins living in these third world countries.¡± The other Caucasian replied. He was a handsome man with his chiseled jawline hidden beneath his full beard. He spoke condescendingly, ¡°If he wasn¡¯t so good at running away, we would have caught him and gotten back the stolen aerolite.¡±

    Unbeknownst to them, Zhao Yao and Xiao Yu had floated right behind them while they were totally engrossed in their conversation.

    Xiao Yu had difficulty making out the shadows beyond that thick fog. Afraid of giving herself away, she typed a string of words on her phone before shoving it in Zhao Yao¡¯s face, ¡°What are they saying? Can you understand them?¡±

    Both men were Americans. Hence, the entire conversation was in English. As an elementary school student who only recently joined a middle school, Xiao Yu could not understand a single word they spoke. However, she knew that it was in English which was why she approached Zhao Yao.

    Seeing thatme question shoved in his face, Zhao Yao replied with another string of text, ¡°Are you saying you can¡¯t understand that simple English? How did you even manage to get past elementary school?¡±

    Xiao Yu shot him a furious re and retorted, ¡°Are you trying to say that you understand everything?¡±

    Another string of text appeared, ¡°You don¡¯t say? They are discussing their dinner ns. One of them is inclining towards steak while the other one wants pizza. Tell me, who is the one who is interested in steak. Is it Jerry or Tom?¡±

    A tinge of hesitation shed across her eyes as Xiao Yu replied cautiously, ¡°Tom ... Tom?¡±

    ¡°Wrong!¡± Zhao Yao interrupted, ¡°It¡¯s Jerry! You can¡¯t even pass such a simple listeningprehension test. Your impending middle school life will be disastrous. You should get some English tuition when you get back.¡±

    Fuerdai ¨C A Chinese term used to describe the children of the nouveau riche in China

    Xiao Yu instantly rolled her eyes as Zhao Yao¡¯s revolting words rang in her ears. With anger searing through her body, shemented, ¡°A cat will always behave like a cat. However, humans may sometime forget to behave like a normal human being.¡±

    ¡°Hmph?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s ears gave a quick twitch as he mumbled, ¡°I think there¡¯s someone else here.¡±

    Meanwhile, the other two Americans had also detected the unfamiliar presence. In the blink of an eye, they had bolted forward like two weightless spirits.

    A thought crossed Zhao Yao¡¯s head as he observed those two Caucasians¡¯ behavior, ¡°Is this the power of their abilities? Is it the power of wind or gravity?¡±

    With that thought lingering in his head, Zhao Yao had grabbed onto Xiao Yu¡¯s arm and pulled her through the dense fog. Immediately, they noticed tens of hazy shadows huddled together on the beach. However, the fog was simply too thick. Even Zhao Yao had no means of seeing their faces.

    Currently, those few people had yet to notice the neers¡¯ arrival. They remained deeply absorbed in their conversations.

    ¡°When will this stupid fog finally dissipate? Are we just going to stay here and wait?¡±

    ¡°Do not try anything stupid in such conditions. You¡¯ll simply get yourself lost.¡±

    Another man eximed, ¡°We are actually just a stone¡¯s throw from Jiangmen City. There¡¯s bound to be lots of ships in our area. We will be rescued the moment the fog lifts.¡±

    Zhao Yao understood their predicament by eavesdropping on their brief exchange. These people here had most likely lost their way when they entered the rough sea and ended up stranded on this ind because of the fog.

    However, joy welled up inside Zhao Yao as his eyes slowly gravitated upwards. In front of him was a sea of golden exmation marks floating above their heads. Even under such poor visibility conditions, Zhao Yao could still see the unmistakable exmation marks.

    His mouth fell open when he noticed an absence of exmation mark above a particr individual. Zhao Yao bit back a scream and could hardly believe his eyes.

    Zhao Yao pondered, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t all the victims stranded here be praying for someone to save them? Why doesn¡¯t this guy want to be saved?¡±

    However, the Americans adopted a starkly different approach. Instead of surveying the situation discreetly, they approached the stranded victims with their somewhat incoherent Mandarin, ¡°Hi, I am Captain William Johnson of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Currently, we are working alongside the Chinese forces to address the fog problem. Could you kindly share with us everything that had happened to you since you¡¯vended on the ind?¡±

    Xiao Yu immediately shot Zhao Yao a condescending re when he heard the American¡¯s words, ¡°Nice try, Tom and Jerry?¡±

    ¡°You actually believe in his bullshit? I¡¯m telling you that his real name is Tom.¡±

    Zhao Yao saw through his lies instantly. Firstly, Inspector Ho had never mentioned a word about any co-operation with the Americans. Secondly, this water was under Chinese jurisdiction. They would never cede any control to any Americans to address the superpower situation.

    However, the victims perceived the American¡¯s gesture in apletely different manner. To them, William was a beacon of hope. They flocked to him and drowned him with a deluge of words.

    William listened as his brows slowly snapped together. Suddenly, he withdrew a pistol from his holster and aimed it straight at the crowd. A brief period of silence ensued before they broke out in screams.

    William threatened them with his menacing words, ¡°I¡¯m not here to save you. Those people will being slightlyter. I am here on a covet mission sanctioned by the United Nations. I want you to tell me what exactly happened to you after you saw the fog. No details shall be omitted. If not, I can simply deal with you based on wartime principles.¡±

    His words rekindled their hopes. Faced with the threat of the gun, none of them protested and regurgitated the entire incident right from the top.

    Zhao Yao too stood by the side and listened to their story. It was generally the same. A fog suddenly emerged above the sea. After entering the fogged area, they lost all contact with the outside world. Finally, they reached this shoreline and ended up on this ind.

    Zhao Yao could not resist the temptation and decided to let Xiao Yu wait for him. With the help of the fog, Zhao Yao blended into the crowd perfectly with no one realizing it. His hand suddenly shot skywards as he asked, ¡°Does anyone need my help? Don¡¯t be shy. I¡¯m sure I can help you in one way or another.¡±

    The victims werepletely indifferent to Zhao Yao¡¯s words. Instead, it aroused the attention of the two Americans. They swept their heads around and approached Zhao Yao. With their eyes squinted into a hard line, they scrutinized him from head to toe and asked, ¡°Are you also a victim of the fog?¡± They just found Zhao Yao¡¯s behavior to be too calm, unusually calm.

    Zhao Yao answered, ¡°Yeah. I was on my yacht and was shocked when I hit the shorelines.¡±

    William¡¯s eyebrow shot upwards as he thought, ¡°Oh, a Fuerdai? I guess he¡¯s only this calm because he has no idea what¡¯s going on.¡±

    They continued to listen to the rest of their stories. A line started to etch between William¡¯s brows as he slid his partner a disappointing gaze. A hint of despondency was evident in both their expressions.

    They had reliable information that Number 0 had escaped to this ind and had umted a vast number of supercats. He even used the aerolite fragments to boost the cats¡¯ power. However, these victims were truly ordinary and ignorant victims. They haven¡¯t met a single supercat of the ind.

    Knowing that nothing useful could be extracted out of them, the two Americans decided to leave them alone. With one step forward, they had reduced the gravitational force acting on their bodies as they bolted forward, into the depths of the ind.

    However, they immediately stopped after taking the first step as they stared in shock at their surroundings.

    William whispered, ¡°I was sure we had already taken a step forward.¡±

    To their abject surprise, they were still stuck in the middle of the crowd and had yet to move a single inch.

    In a moment of fear, William dashed forward again only to see his body returning to the same spot after each step.

    The crowd began to slide them a confused look. Only William¡¯s partner had that same solemn expression hanging on his face. They slid each other a re and recognized each other¡¯s thoughts instantly.

    ¡°It¡¯s a superpower. There is an apostle, amongst the victims, who is trying to stop them.¡±

    His every muscle tensed as William once again tried to bolt forward. With his partner¡¯s eyes glued to his body, he wanted to find out what exactly was stopping them from escaping.

    When the world came to a standstill, Zhao Yao strolled forward before slinging William across his back and returning him to his original spot.

    When time resumed, William was startled to find himself back in that same spot.

    He turned his head towards his partner and asked, ¡°How is it? Joseph, did you manage to find out what is going on?¡±

    A confused expression hung over Joseph¡¯s face as he gave a furious shake of his head, ¡°No. I just saw you take a step forward and yet you remained at the exact same spot.¡±

    Zhao Yao had difficulty suppressing hisughter as he watched this pair of confused men. Then, he brought Xiao Yu towards the man with no golden exmation mark. His n was to stall the American¡¯s advancements while he addressed the victims¡¯ problems. After that, he would then release them for him to track.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes darted up and down as he scrutinized the man before him. He seemed like an ordinary teenager, but there was something different about him. On the surface, he seemedpletely flustered and yet his heartbeat remained the same throughout. He didn¡¯t sound worried at all, which waspletely different from the rest.

    Suddenly, the entire ind was struck by another earthquake. This time, the vibration was far stronger than before as the victims fell to the ground, failing to stand back up.

    An rm rang in his head as Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Hmph, this vibration is worse than before. Rice Cake¡¯s power will only get stronger as her pain worsens. Are they torturing her?¡±

    ¡°I have to be fast. However, it¡¯s too dangerous for me to barge in on my own when the supercats on this ind have no idea what¡¯s going on.¡±

    Despite his trouncing of the apostles in the auction, Zhao Yao was still that same careful and cautious man. The victory did not turn him into an obnoxious fool. He maintained the sameposure as during the auction. He only acted previously when he had collected sufficient intel.

    However, Rice Cake¡¯s predicament was a ticking time bomb. He had to act fast.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lingered at this suspicious character for a split second before he reached his arm forward and tossed him behind the extradimensional belly gate. The thick mist rendered everyone oblivious to his disappearance.

    Zhao Yaomanded the cats inside his belly, ¡°I want you to interrogate him and find out what¡¯s wrong with him.¡±

    This seemingly ordinary man stared dumbfoundedly as darkness nketed his vision before he opened his eyes to a foreignnd. He turned his head around to see tens of cats staring viciously at him.

    Matcha licked his paws in a blood-curdling manner. With his eyes fixed on him, Matcha shouted at Old Cat, ¡°Old Cat, tell this man to answer truthfully for these ws have no eyes.¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao had initially nned to tag behind the two Americans as they ventured forth. However, he had to forgo this n for a more expedient approach.

    ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for Rice Cake, I could have simply followed behind them and find out what exactly is going on. This would at least save me from any mysterious power¡¯s sneak attack.¡±

    ¡°However, I need to get Rice Cake out asap. I need to resort to a more efficient n while alsopleting these victims¡¯ missions.¡±

    With that, Zhao Yao tranted his thoughts into action. An illusion nketed down on the victims, robbing them including the two Americans of their five senses. In one fell swoop, Zhao Yao tossed all of them into the extradimensional belly.

    Xiao Yu stared at this puzzling scene and asked, ¡°What are you trying to do?¡±

    Zhao Yao replied sternly, ¡°I¡¯m obviously trying to save all of them. How can you bear to leave them down here as they wait in vain for help that might never arrive?¡±

    There was only one ce which could amodate them all. Hence, Zhao Yao had no choice but to temporarily house these unconscious people in his belly.

    After all, these were premium material for Zhao Yao to work with. He intended to cash them out slowly. When Rice Cake¡¯s issue is resolved, he would have more than enough time to deal with these flustered individuals, one by one.

    After settling the distressed, Zhao Yao focused his attention back on the Americans. He thought about it briefly before deciding on keeping William while throwing the other one into his belly. With a snap of his fingers, he had cast another illusion as he slowly seeped into William¡¯s consciousness.

    William felt as if a whirlwind had exploded in his head as he jolted awake. Immediately, he was alerted to an agonizing pain running down his arm. To his shock, it was a huge spider! He immediately swatted it away only to reveal his swollen arm. He was arrested with fear as he thought, ¡°Am I poisoned?¡±

    However, he instantly felt a mysterious flow of warm energy emerging from that same spot.

    ¡°Is this ... power?¡±

    A flurry of images whizzed through his head. These were images Zhao Yao had imnted using his illusion

    Spiderman, Spiderman 2, Spiderman 3 ...

    ¡°What the f*ck is going on? I haven¡¯t even watched Spiderman 3. Why would I even think of it?¡±

    However, the images which popped into his head ignored his words as they continued flooding him with all the movie footages.

    The brainwashing was taking effect as William stared at his arm in disbelief, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that this spider bite has also awakened the power residing within me?¡±

    While William was stuck in his own thoughts, darkness had once again nketed his vision. He couldn¡¯t see anything. It was just emptiness. Suddenly, a panel materialized out of the void. On it, a word was printed ¨C gd-syste.

    ¡°What ... what ... is this?¡± William stared in shock at this baffling scene. He immediately googled the word and realized that itprised two modules in its most basic form. They were ¡®physical properties¡¯ and ¡®mission panel¡¯.

    By continuallypleting more missions, he could improve his physical properties in the fields of strength, speed, and intelligence. With a stronger body, he could take on even more daunting missions which would unlock hidden features within the system.

    Upon closer inspection, William noticed a string of grey words written beneath the mission panel. Their abilitiesprised strength, animal spirits, mosaic, pets, wings, sweepstakes, recharge, malls, friends, homes, heroes ...

    ¡°There are so many functions! This is interesting.¡±

    Suddenly, a roulette sprang out of nowhere. The rewards written on it were stone sword, angel¡¯s blood, demonic strength, Zeus¡¯s power, holy light... Written above it were the words, ¡®neers¡¯ reward¡¯.

    ¡°Why are some words in English while others are in Mandarin? Thankfully I¡¯m still able to understand some basic Mandarin.¡±

    ¡°A lucky draw right at the start?¡± William stared intently at the rotating roulette as his heart pounded rapidly against the wall of his chest, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that this system is actually legit?¡±

    Finally, the roulette wheel¡¯s spin started to slow down as the ballnded in a sectionbeled ¡°Immense strength coupled with skin that even spears cannot prate.¡±

    ¡°Is this even real?¡± William decided to put his ¡®newfound strength¡¯ to the test. He threw his clenched fist in the air and cocked his body like a bow as he readied himself for an earth-shattering blow.

    At the same time, a red glimmer had shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes as he took control of Ares¡¯s power.

    With his immacte timing, William¡¯s punch was met with a resounding explosion as beads of sand flew in all directions. It was as if a bomb had detonated at the exact position where he punched. As the dust settled, a huge crater was left standing there.

    ¡°So strong?¡± William was taken aback by this incredible scene. He stared at his own fists in utter shock and muttered, ¡°And yet I do not feel a hint of pain at all. This body is far tougher than I had imagined.¡±

    Excitement overwhelmed him as William broke into a huge smile, ¡°I have finally awakened my superpower. With this power, I can continue to grow and be infinitely strong. I will be the next human standing atop the shoulders of the gods!¡±

    Immediately, the glint disappeared from his eyes as he surveyed his surroundings with suspicion. He realized that both his partner and the victims had all copsed to the ground, unconscious. Obviously, he had no idea that it was simply a part of Zhao Yao¡¯s illusion.

    Since everyone was asleep, he had no intentions to wake them up. Instead, he fixed his attention on the mission panel and read through the content, ¡°Leave the beach and enter the depths of the ind. Mission reward: strength + 0.¡±

    Wiliam nced at his current physical properties and realized that all his physical attributes were currently 0. Hence, an increase of + 0 would double his current strength.

    His current punch was enough to create a huge crater on the beach. He dared not imagine just how strong he would be with the impending boost.

    A delighted smile started tugging at the corner of his lips as he considered. After all, this new mission did not sh with his original mission. Furthermore, it even rewarded him with such an incredible power. There was no reason for him to refuse it. Hence, he tensed his muscle and bolted forward. However, he was immediately notified to thepletion of the mission when he had just taken one step out of the beach.

    ¡°What? It¡¯s so easy?¡± He thought about it briefly before mming his foot against the ground.

    The earth beneath his foot started to crack as chunks of gravel exploded skywards, sending the projectiles flying in all directions. This devastating force was enough to distort the ground surrounding him as holes and gaps emerged all over the ce. Even William himself was taken aback by the intensity of it.

    William stared at his amazing foot before ncing back at the mission panel.

    ¡°Continue moving forward andplete your search for the supercats on the ind. Reward: Speed + 0.¡±

    With a bent of his knees, William had exploded forward like a rocket as he plunged into the depths of the ind.

    ¡°Hahahaha! The supercats and aerolite on the ind will all belong to me! With them and gd-syste, I will be an unprecedented force in the world. No one will dare to fight against me.¡±

    Those words were music to Zhao Yao¡¯s ears. His lips curled into a smile as he tugged Xiao Yu forward, ¡°I¡¯ll simply let this guy lead the way and find out about the supercats hiding on the ind.¡±

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Meanwhile, Fish Ball, Rice Cake and Noodle were making their way across the grass ins when an elderly white cat caught up to them, ¡°Hey, aren¡¯t you the neers? Hi, my name is Carrot but you can call me Grandpa Carrot.

    I¡¯m reminding the three of you to never ever belittle us, the ntation department. Even though most cats on the ind do so, they forget that our department is the very foundation on which this ind is built upon. All the grains and vegetables that the cats eate from our hard work!

    Even though you are assigned to this department because of your somewhat weaker abilities, I do not want you to feel discouraged. Power isn¡¯t everything. Without a potent power, you can still achieve sess with a positive mindset and a relentless attitude.¡±

    However, those words were getting on Fish Ball¡¯s nerves as his face scrunched into a grimace, ¡°D*mn it! After all, I am the Daniel Wu of the cat kingdom, how dare that silly old cat randomly dispatch me into this useless ce.¡±

    Fish Ball could never erase the scene from his head when he demonstrated his power. The entire hall broke out into a chorus ofughter, led by none other than that mean Cat Sage.

    ¡°These bunch of b*stards! I swear to god that I will climb and crawl my way up to the very top of the ind. Then, everyone will have to look up to me with admiration and fear!¡±

    ¡°Alright, stop wallowing in self-pity because you got sent here because of your lousy ability. We are all part of a huge, loving family. I assure you that there will be zero discrimination.¡± Carrot attempted to encourage them when he noticed the paper documenting their powers.

    ¡°Hmph, glow, speak and body vibration?¡± Carrot stroked his chin thoughtfully before concluding, ¡°Alright, we shall just split the load ording to your powers. Rice Cake, you are in charge of loosening the soil. Fish Ball, you shall illuminate the ce during the night. Noodle, you are basically in charge of everything else.¡±

    Noodle¡¯s blood boiled as he retorted, ¡°Are you bloody kidding me? Didn¡¯t you just mention that you don¡¯t discriminate ording to our superpower? Why am I responsible for all the remaining work? This is a tant discrimination!¡±

    The white cat seemed oblivious to Noodle¡¯s scream. Instead, he simply pped his paws together before sliding Noodle a nonchnt nce, ¡°Alright, since there are no disagreements, we shall end our meeting.¡±

    ¡°D*mn it! This guy has prejudice written across his stupid face!¡± Noodle could hardly contain the raging anger erupting within him. He swept his head around only to realize that Carrot was not the only prejudiced one around. The rest of them had already assumed a nonchnt expression before sliding a condescending re in his direction.

    Noodle could only bank his hopes on the one remaining cat as he cocked his head towards Fish Ball, ¡°Fish Ball, let¡¯s go! I can¡¯t take this anymore. We will talk to Cat Sage and request for a change in the department.¡±

    However, Fish Ball was already surrounded by the troves of female cats belonging to the ntation department, as moans andughter echoed in their direction.

    Fish Ball wagged his paws towards Noodle andmented, ¡°I don¡¯t even know this stupid dog. He reeks of the stench of garbage. Who would even want to be close to him? Meowhahaha!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, Fish Ball. You should not go anywhere near those silly dogs. On our ind, they¡¯re only qualified to be our ves. Nothing more than that.¡±

    ¡°Get out, you silly dog! You are not worthy to stay inside this house!¡±

    Noodle could not believe the words of discrimination pouring into his ears. He turned his head around to a sea of sinisterughter coupled with condescending res. For a split second, he understood, ¡°It¡¯s never about my ability. They areughing at me because of my species. They despise my dog bloodline!¡±

    Fish Ball noticed the despondent Noodle in the corner of his eyes and whispered to himself, ¡°I¡¯m so sorry silly dog. I have no choice but to sacrifice your self-esteem in my ascent towards the top of the food chain.¡±

    Noodle instantly plunged into despair. Even though the poison had already dissipated from his body, he could still feel the agonizing pain tearing through him.

    He turned his head towards Rice Cake, out of concern, only to see her body shriveled in a corner. She was like a lifeless flower devoid of the nourishment of water, dried and withered.

    ¡°Rice Cake! What happened to you?¡± Noodle rushed forward and cupped her face in his paws, ¡°Rice Cake, who did this to you?¡±

    ¡°Inter ... Inte,¡± Slowly, Rice Cake opened her bloodshot eyes as she continued murmuring, ¡°I need inte.¡±

    ¡°You are addicted!¡± Noodle was left speechless by her nonsensical behavior, ¡°Just one day without inte and you¡¯re a shell of your past!¡±

    Sensing the hostility in the air, Noodle chose to pick Rice Cake off the ground before bringing her outside. With a bucket full of water, he sshed them all on Rice Cake¡¯s body in an attempt to jolt her to her senses.

    Seeing the drenched Rice Cake, Noodle felt as though she had expanded a little.

    Suddenly, the tremors returned to the ind. However, Noodle didn¡¯t seem to be affected by the shaking at all. He was oblivious to it.

    ¡°Come to think of it, it felt like nothing when I lifted Rice Cake off the ground. I¡¯ve felt unusually strong the moment the effects of the poison wore off.¡±

    With that, Noodle decided to put his physical conditioning to the test.

    Initially, he began with a run. With a few strides, all that was left were his shadows as his body disappeared off towards the horizon.

    ¡°That¡¯s incredible! My speed is crazy fast!¡± Even Noodle himself was taken aback by his supersonic speed. However, he was not about to stop. Instead, he continued with his experimentation. He sank his razor-sharp ws into the earth and created a 1-meter deep hole in a matter of seconds.

    ¡°My strength and stamina have improved considerably!¡±

    ¡°Why did this happen?¡±

    The husky was burning with curiosity. Suddenly, an unorthodox idea popped into his head,¡± Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s because of that thing I ate in the toilet this morning ... curry?¡±

    Suddenly, his eyes began to twinkle with excitement. In retrospect, he could clearly identify the feelings he experienced throughout the entire ordeal.

    ¡°I managed to acquire a superpower after identally ingesting curry?¡± Noodle had been wallowing in self-pity since the day he learned about hisck of superpower. However, this serendipitous discovery caused his eyes to ze with anticipation, ¡°Maybe my strength requires me to take in curry in order to grow stronger?¡±

    Suddenly, his ears gave a slight shudder. Then, two cats emerged from the bushes as they sauntered off into the distance. They looked so rxed and at ease. By straining his ears, he could even pick up their conversation.

    ¡°I finally managed to get it out. It has been stuck inside me for days!¡±

    ¡°Meowhaha! Who told you to eat that stuff off the ground?¡±

    A flicker of determination shed across Noodle¡¯s eyes as he observed the cats disappeared into the distance.

    ¡°In order to save everyone, in order to escape from this ind ... even if it¡¯s curry ... I have to ...¡±

    Immediately, Noodle was possessed with a clear goal as he pounced into the bushes with a faint smile painted across his face.

    ...

    Boom ... boom. The Cat Sage who had turned into his rat form could acutely detect the tremors of the ground, ¡°Why is the earthquake increasing in frequency? What the hell is going on? Also, the efficiency of the aerolite is dropping. Has it reached its physical limit?¡±

    Meanwhile, Cheese, Kimchi, and six other supercats were lying in the grand hall as they basked in the magical effects of the aerolite.

    Furtively, Cheese shot Cat Sage a nce as he thought, ¡°I always thought that Rice Cake would share simr powers to me. Never mind. She will at least be safe as long as she stays on the ind. A lifetime of peace and tranquility awaits her.¡±

    Suddenly, a Dragon Li came running over, ¡°Cat Sage, Cat Sage! A disaster!¡±

    With his forehead furrowed, Cat Sage asked, ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°Some ... someone had managed to break through the fog. They are in our territory!¡±

    While Cat Sage was deeply engrossed in the Dragon Li¡¯s report, Nekomata had secretly levitated to the middle of the grand hall, with his eyes glued to that mysterious aerolite. His eyes were brimming with curiosity.

    ¡°I want to touch that thing so badly. I wonder what it feels like.¡±

 Chapter 476: The Battle

    <h4>Chapter 476: The Battle</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Nekomata¡¯s body floated aimlessly around the aerolite, with his eyes glued to that intriguing object. The aerolite was the only thing on his mind.

    In the process of doing so, Nekomata felt something strange. It seemed like his power was increasing, bit by bit.

    Naturally, he was clueless about the story behind it. This aerolite was part of the meteorite which gave birth to the thousands of supercats roaming across the Earth.

    Since acquiring this coveted aerolite, the Cat Sage had retreated to the cat ind.

    Cat Sage was a learned individual. He knew that it was impossible to survive alone in this increasinglyplex and dangerous world. No matter how great an individual was, he was still bound to have his weaknesses. Hence, he required the support of strongerpanions.

    Coupling his individual strength with the aerolite¡¯s enigmatic effects, Cat Sagemenced his search for strong individuals. By naming the aerolite Sage Rock, he hade to build the cat ind which we know of today.

    Hearing news of a trespasser, who was an apostle, sessfully infiltrating his base, a line began to etch across his forehead, ¡°An apostle? However, he came alone. It¡¯s highly likely that he got lost and somehow managed to intrude on us.¡±

    With that, his eyes gravitated in the direction of an orange and ck cat, ¡°Number one, number two, I want you to bring that apostle over. However, do not injure him. If he is too strong for you, immediately retreat. Do not let your hunger for bloodshed blind you. After all, time is on our side.¡±

    The two cats shot one another a nce before they got to their feet and proceeded towards the exit.

    Kimchi cautioned, ¡°Cat Sage, the humans have started to notice the presence of the cat ind. I believe the fog will not stop them for long.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay,¡± Cat Sage responded with a dismissive wave of his paw. In his rat form, he began to rub his body against the aerolite and continued, ¡°I can feel it. My power is on the brink of a whole new level. By then, I¡¯ll treat these pathetic beings to a sneak preview to my new power. I¡¯m sure they¡¯re smart enough to choose life over death. This will spell the beginning of cat ind¡¯s ascent.¡±

    Just moments after their deployment, the supercat who first reported to Cat Sage came sprinting with its tail caught between its legs, ¡°Bad ... it¡¯s bad, really bad.¡±

    Cat Sage¡¯s annoyance red as he retorted, ¡°What is the matter now?¡±

    ¡°Cat Sage! Number one and number two had been destroyed by the apostle and are held captive by him.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Cat Sage leaped from the aerolite with his every muscle tensed with fury, ¡°Both number one and two are captured by him?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not just the two of them! That apostle is wreaking havoc on the ind, capturing any cat which meets his eyes. He is insane! He isn¡¯t even human!¡±

    Cheese slowly got to his feet and shouted, ¡°Cat Sage, let me take care of that brazen fool. I will make him regret his every single action.¡±

    Cat Sage was no fool. He shook his head and answered, ¡°The fact that the apostle had sessfully captured number one and two means that he is no pushover. Furthermore, he is absolutely confident in his abilities.¡±

    With that thought in his head, Cat Sage added, ¡°Since it hase to this, I would like the rest of you to join me in staying here. This ce will mark our ultimate fortification. He shall not pass us.¡±

    ...

    The past 10 minutes spent bashing through the fog was no joke. It was torturous. Finally, a faint smile spread across William¡¯s face as he noticed the supercats on the ind.

    ¡°Number 0 has truly exceeded my expectations. I never expected him to be able to gather so may supercats on this ind.¡±

    William handled the bulk of metal wires as if they were cotton twine. With his monstrous strength, he had bent and twisted them into a huge metal bag.

    Beneath William¡¯s footid the unconscious number one and two which were previously dispatched by Cat Sage. They couldn¡¯t even put up any form of resistance against William.

    They were not the only ones. Beside themid tens of other supercats which shared a simr fate to them as theyid unconscious on the ground.

    ¡°So many supercats! I¡¯ll be rich if I manage to bring all of them back! Furthermore ...¡±

    Mechanically, William tossed the unconscious supercats into his metal bag, with his mind focused on one thought: the status of his god_system. Since arriving at the ind and capturing the supercats, he hadpleted multiple missions which elevated hisbat strength to the next level.

    William¡¯s journey since his sessful breakthrough of the fog was unprecedented. Any supercat which obstructed his path was knocked unconscious with a single blow before they were thrown into the bag. With the metal bag slung across his shoulders, he continued his journey.

    Number one and two proved to be stronger than the rest, but they too were destroyed in William¡¯s hands.

    Happiness sparkled inside William as he stared at his god_system interface, ¡°As long as I have this, I can continue toplete more missions and continue to grow stronger. It¡¯s only a matter of time before I be the strongest apostle around.¡±

    ¡°Even if I don¡¯t return to my original organization, I already have what it takes to establish my very own supercat organisation from this mission¡¯s loot. The cats and aerolite in this ce will form the foundation of my dreams!¡±

    Just the thought of it sent a wave of warmness spreading across his chest, ¡°Not bad, not bad at all! There are so many cats here. Anyone of thembined with ten apostles will form a superpower detachment. And I haven¡¯t even gotten to the part of the aerolite!¡±

    William was drunk with happiness. With a quick twitch of his calf muscles, he had propelled his body tens of meters in the air. It was as if he were immune to the effects of gravity.

    Zhao Yao and Xiao Yu continued tagging behind William. However, there was a tinge of fear across Xiao Yu¡¯s face as she slid William a guarded look. Her eyes darted towards Zhao Yao as she whispered into his ears, ¡°Who the hell is he? Why is he so strong?¡± She was bbergasted by William¡¯s absurd disy of strength.

    ¡°Erm, just another American soldier, I guess he¡¯s something like Rambo, the Punisher or Batman,¡± Zhao Yao replied casually. Meanwhile, a red flicker continued to sh across his eyes as he manipted Ares¡¯s power.

    In reality, the three of them were shrouded within the sphere of the deflective field. Every horrific attack produced by William was amplified by the deflective field. This was how he managed to shatter the ground, leaped across the vast fields and even bypassed the supercats¡¯ defenses.

    Zhao Yao was simply using William as a pawn to assess the strength of the supercats¡¯ aboard the ind.

    With her finger pointed straight at Zhao Yao¡¯s eye, Xiao Yu asked, ¡°Hey, your eyes have turned red since the start of our journey. Please tell me that you¡¯re not wearing those colored contact lenses.¡±

    Zhao Yao corrected her, ¡°I¡¯m not wearing those frivolous contact lenses. This is part of my power.¡±

    Meanwhile, William spotted the neat rows of cottages in the corner of his eyes as a smile tugged at his lips, ¡°Are they there?¡± To him, the ind had already morphed into a giant treasure trove, brimming with gold and silver. He wasted no time as his body darted towards the cottages.

    A thunderous st swept into the surroundings as a giant crater emerged from William¡¯s descent. This time around, the earth he stood on began to crack as countless piles of soil came flying towards him, enveloping his entire body within it.

    ¡°Hmph? Another supercat?¡± William smirked. He didn¡¯t even bother to lower his metal bag. Instead, he thrust his right fist in the air before swinging them in a seemingly haphazard manner. Immediately, the airwaves produced shed against the piles of soil, intercepting every single attack and rendered them futile.

    William slowly raised his head to the sight of Cheese, Kimchi and four other supercats surrounding him in a circle. A tiger stood in the far corner with a rock dangling by his fangs. The tiger¡¯s vicious stare was enough to send chills down any human¡¯s spine.

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    William¡¯s gaze froze momentarily when he noticed the tiger and the seemingly ordinary rock by its mouth, ¡°Is that number 0?¡±

    Based on the intel acquired, the apostle responsible for the theft of the aerolite fragments, number 0, had the power to mutate into different animals.

    Tigers definitely did not exist in this part of the world, which meant that he was number zero. From there, William even deduced that the rock was the aerolite he had been searching for.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao had assigned William a new mission via his illusion.

    ¡°Defeat the seven supercats standing in front of you and you will be rewarded with strength + 0, speed + 0.¡±

    ¡°I guess today is my lucky day. This journey has led me all the way to the aerolite. I even managed to snag a few missions on the way here.¡± A smug smile spread across William¡¯s face as he rested the metal bag gently against the ground, ¡°Number 0, I¡¯m assuming that you are the leader of this ind. By extension, does that mean that I gain control over every single cat here if I defeat you?¡±

    Sweat trickled down his spine when Cat Sage heard those words. It had been a long time since someonest referred to him as number 0. Immediately, his eyes darted in William¡¯s direction, pinning him down with his ice-cold re.

    ¡°This guy, did hee all the way from America?¡± A certain viciousness returned to Cat Sage¡¯s expression, ¡°Since it hase to this, I have no choice but to capture him.¡±

    While Cat Sage was still caught up in his thoughts, a resounding explosion had already echoed in his ears as William¡¯s body teleported in front of him. William¡¯s punch tore through the air particles, producing airwaves which swept across the surroundings as it went straight for his target ¨C Cat Sage.

    Immediately, William¡¯s body bounced off at an even faster speed as he crashed into the forests, bulldozing the trees in his way.

    ¡°D*mn it,¡± William struggled to return to his feet. Somehow, that menacing tiger had already evolved into a daunting and gargantuan dragon. The dragon¡¯s eyes were fixed on him, with no signs of fear.

    Cat Sage ordered coolly, ¡°Kill him.¡±

    Immediately, the six supercats acted on his orders.

    Soil, grass, and rocks fell from the sky like projectiles, pelting William. This was the work of Cheese.

    Suddenly, a monstrous dark cloud loomed over their position. Lightning seemed imminent and it was aimed straight at William. This was Kimchi¡¯s power.

    The four remaining supercats cast their individual powers,mencing theirbined attack on William.

    Zhao Yao noticed the turn of tides and reacted by supplementing William with 30% of his deflective field. This was the perfect opportunity for him to understand the supercats on the battlefield.

    ...

    Fish Ball was ambling across the ntation department as he withheld a giant yawn, ¡°Those females cats sure are troublesome, but it¡¯s okay. I¡¯ve finally taken care of them. With my superb performance, I believe I have elevated myself to quite an envious position in the department.¡±

    ¡°Rice Cake?¡±

    ¡°Noodle?¡±

    Fish Ball called out as he sauntered in the forest¡¯s direction, ¡°Hurry ande out now! Stop ying! The department head has called for a meeting!¡±

    Despite how loud he called, no one responded to him. Their unresponsiveness was starting to get on Fish Ball¡¯s nerves, ¡°D*mn it, where have those two fools gone to?¡±

    Suddenly, his ears gave a slight shudder. He was sure he heard something. Hence, he bolted in the direction of that sound and saw the useless pair lying motionlessly on the ground. Noodle¡¯s shoulders and head would bob from time to time. It seemed like they were eating something behind his back!

    ¡°Hmph, Noodle, is that you?¡± Fish Ball dashed forward with a look of curiosity, ¡°What are the two of you eating? You guys seem so happy.¡±

    Noodle¡¯s body froze the moment that familiar voice rang in his head. He immediately swept his body around, not forgetting to block the ¡®thing¡¯ from Fish Ball¡¯s intent re.

    Noodle then gave a dismissive wave of his paws as sweat beaded his forehead, ¡°It¡¯s ... it¡¯s nothing, hahaha. By the way, what brings you here today? Don¡¯t be shy, you can just speak your mind.¡±

    Suddenly, a look of shock seized Fish Ball¡¯s expression as he pointed his paw in Noodle¡¯s direction, ¡°You!¡±

    Noodle¡¯s heart skipped a beat as he stared dumbfoundedly at Fish Ball, ¡°D*mn it, how did he manage to see through my pretense? I guess I can only kill him ...¡±

    Fish Ball then pointed his finger at Noodle¡¯s belly and eximed, ¡°When did your belly suddenly turn so big?¡±

    Noodle could finally breathe a sigh of relief as he answered, ¡°Oh so you were referring to this? It¡¯s nothing. I think it¡¯s because of all the binge eating coupled with my constipation.¡±

    ¡°Oh,¡± Suddenly, that same appalled expression returned to Fish Ball¡¯s face as he threw his finger in Noodle¡¯s direction, ¡°You!¡±

    ¡°I knew it. He saw through my act!¡± Unknowingly, Noodle¡¯s lips had already drawn back into a snarl. He responded with an even more ferocious expression.

    Actually, Fish Ball was pointing to the spot behind Noodle as he rified, ¡°What is Rice Cake doing on the floor? Is she okay?¡±

    Once again, Noodle could finally breathe as he replied, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. He just fainted because there wasn¡¯t any inte.¡±

    Fish Ball walked towards Rice Cake before continuing, ¡°Then hurry and wake her up now! The head of department instructed me to inform you guys about the meeting. Quickly go and gather now.¡±

    Noodle nodded his head as disappointment sagged through him, ¡°D*mn it, I ate so much and yet I don¡¯t feel like I¡¯ve grown any stronger. What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    For the split second when Noodle had dropped his guard, Fish Ball had already pounced forward andnded right smack on the spot which Noodle was trying to hide. Fish Ball bellowed inughter before taunting, ¡°Silly dog, what exactly are you trying to hide? I bet you¡¯re sneakily keeping all the good food to yourself!¡±

    ¡°No!¡± Noodle¡¯s body flew forward in an attempt to intercept Fish Ball in mid-air.

    However, Fish Ball¡¯s expression went nk as he stared wide-eyed at Noodle. Then, his expression changed as he slid Noodle a condescending re.

    Noodle was writhing in pain as he asked, ¡°So you saw it?¡±

    Fish Ball continued to slide him a disparaging re as he replied, ¡°Did you just eat ...¡±

    ¡°Curry!¡± Noodle screamed, ¡°I ate lots of curry just now! What¡¯s wrong with that? What do you have against curry?¡±

    ¡°Oh, so it was just curry? I mistook it for something else.¡± Fish Ball¡¯s upper lips curled as he continued, ¡°I guess there¡¯s nothing strange about a husky eating curry ...¡±

    With that, Fish Ball hurried over to Rice Cake and weed her with a few tight ps across her cheeks, ¡°Hey, Rice Cake, wake up. We should be leaving.¡±

    Unbeknownst to Fish Ball, Noodle had suddenly appeared before him with a pair of bloodshot eyes as he whispered menacingly in his ears, ¡°Actually, you saw it, right?¡±

    The anger was palpable. Fish Ball felt the sweat umting on the back of his forehead as it slid down his spine. He ignored Noodle¡¯s words and continued his rapid ps across Rice Cake¡¯s cheeks to no avail. Hence, he changed his strategy and started dragging her out by her neck.

    However, he felt a pair of fangs sank into his calves. He lowered his eyes and saw that same bloodshot eyes with that intense re, ¡°Do you despise me? Do you think that I¡¯m a pervert?¡±

    Fish Ball felt his heart pounding against his chest. He tried to ease the tension with an awkwardugh, ¡°How can that be possible? We grew up together. Why would I ever despise you? Come on, give me a hand and drag Rice Cake out of this ce. The department head said it was urgent.¡±

    Suddenly, Rice Cake¡¯s body began to vibrate once again. There was even some buzzing sounding from her mouth.

    Fish Ball pressed his ears against it only to hear the following words, ¡°I ... want ... my ... inte.¡±

    The voice was so haunting that it sent shivers down Fish Ball¡¯s spine. Immediately, Fish Ball¡¯s vibration started to grow even stronger.

    Following that soft buzz, even Noodle and Fish Ball were also affected by the shaking as they started to vibrate violently.

    Fish Ball felt as if his skeleton was breaking into two from all the shaking as he shouted, ¡°Stop! Rice Cake! Stop what you¡¯re doing!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s futile! The emotional turmoil had forced Fish Ball into a deep slumber!¡± Noodle continued roaring, ¡°What potent anger and pain! I feel it! We share the same pain running down our vein! Rice Cake, wake up! Join me in experiencing the pains of the world!¡±

    Fish Ball retorted angrily, ¡°Same pain down your vein my ass! Rice Cake¡¯s unhappiness is totally different from yours!¡±

    With a thunderous boom, Fish Ball was tossed skywards as his body somersaulted in the air.

    Meanwhile, the vibrating Noodle grabbed on to Rice Cake as he returned to his feet steadily.

    A newfound rity shed across Noodle¡¯s eyes, ¡°I finally recall!¡±

    With a grimace stretched across his face, Fish Ball replied, ¡°What did you finally remember?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m no ordinary husky.¡±

    Fish Ball instantly copsed to the ground, cackling inughter.

    However, Noodle was absolutely unfazed by Fish Ball¡¯s response. Instead, he continued coolly, ¡°My dream is to change the world.¡±

    The smile continued tugging at Fish Ball¡¯s lips as he sneered, ¡°What a wonderful dream!¡±

    ¡°Rice Cake! Are you acknowledging me for who I truly am?¡± Tears shrouded his eyes as he stared intently at the cat who truly understood him, ¡°I can feel the sadness sprouting within you. From today onwards, I¡¯ll name you the ultimate sorrow. Follow me. Together, we¡¯ll experience the pains of the world in its truest and most untainted form. We will continue to revolutionize the world!¡±

    Following his epic speech, Noodle realized that he was no longer affected by the vibrations even though Rice Cake continued to emit the buzzing from her non-stop shaking. Somehow, he was impervious to its effects.

    ¡°Pain my ass!¡± Fish Ball shot him down, ¡°The only thing that happened was someone caught you eating ... curry. And you looked thrilled to be eating it!¡±

    Noodle¡¯s eyes stretched wide open as those condescending words rang in his head. He responded by shooting Fish Ball a death re.

    Currently, Noodle¡¯s mental state was in a flux and it could be attributed to a multitude of reasons. Firstly, it was all the unfortunate events that befell him which resulted in extreme emotional changes. Next, Rice Cake¡¯s non-stop vibration had somehow led to a concussion of some sorts. Hence, his originally stabilized consciousness was struck with some very unique changes.

    Now, Noodle was no longer capable of reining in his own emotions, rendering him impulsive and irritable.

    Hence, he responded to those disdainful words by sprinting forward and hurling Rice Cake in Fish Ball¡¯s direction.

    Bam!

    However, itpletely missed the target andnded straight on the ground. Maybe it¡¯s because this was his first attempt at the ultimate sorrow, or maybe his dog paws were simply not nimble and steady enough.

    Following Rice Cake¡¯s crash, the horrendous vibrations had mmed straight onto the ground. It was as if the floor had been washed by a meteorite shower, with the point of contact as the epicenter. Gigantic waves emerged, leaving a one-meter-deep crater behind.

    Fish Ball, who was hurled in the air by the vibration, struggled to regain his footing as he stared in disbelief at Noodle and Rice Cake, who was resting in his paws.

    Suddenly, his eyes turned bloodshot as he shot Fish Ball a death re. Immediately, he pounced forward while the ultimate sorrow continued to emit a soft yet heart wrenching cry, ¡°I ... want ... my ... inte.¡±

    Fish Ball¡¯s fur stood on all ends as he witnessed this unexpected turn of events. He had no choice but to emit a blinding light from his body.

    Instantly, the sky was flooded by Fish Ball¡¯s dazzling rays. Fish Ball was like a living sh bomb. This took Noodle by surprise as he let out an ear-splitting shriek. Meanwhile, Fish Ball turned around and ran away with all his remaining strength.

    With the illuminated Fish Ball leading the pack, Noodle was hot on his heels with Rice Cake cradled in his arms. Fish Ball had no choice but to traverse across the convoluted terrain. He hoped the dense forest would be enough to lose his pursuers.

    However, Rice Cake was simply too strong. Anything which came into contact with her was vaporized to piece be it the trees, the scrubs or even the granite rocks. Nothing could stand up against it.

    ¡°D*mn it!¡± Fish Ball was barely able to breathe when he swept his head around to this incredulous scene, ¡°Noodle! Just wait! Xiao Yu is gonna kill you when she hears about it!¡±

    ¡°Hahaha, Xiao Yu will die the moment she arrives.¡± With Rice Cake resting in his paws, Noodle threw his arm forward, slicing the huge tree before him into two.

    By now, he had realized the twoponents to Rice Cake¡¯s power. The first vibration could directly vaporize the intended target. The other vibration could create an unprecedented slicing force. It was as good as a high-frequency de.

    Despite Rice Cake¡¯s overwhelming strength, Noodle still failed to seal his win. Fish Ball was simply too white to the extent that Noodle couldn¡¯t even make out his body with his naked eye. His swipes could only be targeted in a general location. After hours of relentless search, he still couldn¡¯t catch up to Fish Ball. Instead, he had destroyed the forest. Fallen trees desecrated the grounds.

    In response to Noodle¡¯s words, Fish Ball yelled, ¡°Zhao Yao will never let you off!¡±

    ¡°Even Zhao Yao cannot do a single thing against us.¡± This was followed up by another powerful smash which sent shockwaves sweeping across the ground, ¡°The husky will never be a man¡¯s ve!¡±

    ...

    Inside one of the cottages belonging to the ntation department, department head, Carrot, waszing on a cushion as a line etched between his brows. Hemented, ¡°Why is that Fish Ball so bloody slow? What¡¯s so difficult about getting that silly dog over?¡±

    Hearing Carrot¡¯s baseless usations, one female cat immediately jumped to his defense, ¡°How can you push all the me to our Fish Ball? You can only me that stupid dog for his tardiness! He is the one pulling our dear Fish Ball behind.¡±

    Another female cat chimed along, ¡°Yes. Our dear Fish Ball apanied us the entire day. I bet he is exhausted. You should never have sent him out on such an exhausting mission.¡±

    ¡°Why isn¡¯t Master Fish Ball back yet? Don¡¯t tell me something happened to him! Carrot, get out now and find him!¡±

    ¡°Tsk,¡± Carrot could feel the anger raging within him when those senseless cries rang in his head, ¡°Fish Ball, that disgusting gigolo.¡± In his mind, he had decided to leave the toughest job for him when he returned.

    ¡°Hmph, you¡¯ll spend the rest of your time toiling in the fields. You will be filthy and smelly and will have no time to clean your fur. Your white fur would turn ck in a matter of days. Let¡¯s see how you can continue chasing those stupid girls.¡±

    While Carrot remained engrossed in his own thoughts, the doors swung open with a loud m as Fish Ball copsed to the ground. He was gasping for breath as he warned them, ¡°Bad... something bad is happening!¡±

    Carrot retorted, ¡°Fish Ball, what the hell are you doing, acting all panicky! Do you even know the rules?¡±

    Fish Ball cut Carrot¡¯s statement short by shouting, ¡°The husky is on his way here to kill us!¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Immediately, a sea of confused eyes stared back at Fish Ball.

    However, they understood Fish Ball¡¯s words momentster.

    With a loud boom, Noodle appeared as the wall crumbled to the ground. He sauntered forward as he surveyed the members of the ntation department. A devious smile stretched across his face as he dered, ¡°Good, good, good. Since you¡¯re all here, it saves me the trouble of locating all of you. Previously, didn¡¯t all of you look down on me? Now, I¡¯ll let you know just how strong a husky is!¡±

    With that, Noodle held on to Rice Cake as he mmed his fist onto the floor. Instantly, the cottage tilted towards one side before the furniture came crashing onto the floor. A cloud of dust rose in the air as the supercats escaped in all directions while simultaneously casting their powers.

    With all four feet firmly nted on the ruins, the husky observed the frightened cats before letting out a wolf-like howl.

    ...

    Meanwhile, William was tossed in the air before he came crashing down because of the lightning.

    Before even making contact with the ground, tens of fireballs flew in his direction before exploding like hand grenades.

    Next, a huge burst of wave emerged from his position as William escaped northwards.

    ¡°D*mn it!¡±

    Currently, Cat Sage had not even made his move. Just the six supercats were more than enough for William to handle. Each power was more troublesome and destructive than the other. Even with the help of Zhao Yao¡¯s deflective field, William could barely defend himself from the deluge of attacks.

    William had never expected number 0 to amass so many powerful supercats. He even resorted to using the aerolite to enhance their powers.

 Chapter 479: Recharge

    <h4>Chapter 479: Recharge</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Bam!

    Torrents of me poured down on William as he barely managed to dodge them all.

    With their relentless attack, William would have to thank his lucky stars just to escape with his life, let alone defeat them.

    Meanwhile, Xiao Yu who was observing from the sidelines as she looked on with a worried expression, ¡°Are we just gonna stand here and watch?¡±

    In Zhao Yao¡¯s mind, an individual profile of all six supercats was starting to form in his head. At the same time, he had to continue supporting William with his deflective field. If not for the deflective field jumping into William¡¯s defense during the bouts of fire, lightning and shock wave, Wiliam would already have died.

    Hence, Zhao Yao was stunned to hear Xiao Yu¡¯s words. However, a pleasant surprise greeted him when he noticed the golden exmation mark floating above William¡¯s head. A faint smile tugged at Zhao Yao¡¯s lips as he muttered, ¡°We definitely must help him. However, you will stay here. I shall have the honors of doing so.¡±

    With a snap of his fingers, a wave of illusion had crashed towards William.

    William, who was in the midst of escaping, heard a ¡®ding¡¯ in his head. This was followed by a calm voice ringing in his ears, ¡°Host is currently stuck in a dangerous position. Would you like to activate Ultimate Armed Super God Module?¡±

    Those words were like music to William¡¯s ears as tears shimmered in his eyes, ¡°Yes! Turn it on now! Immediately!¡±

    Just the name alone sounded incredible. William was so excited that he could feel his heart pounding rapidly against his ribs. His imagination ran wild as possible scenarios of his power shed across his mind.

    Immediately, he noticed a new function added to his god_system. It was a recharge module which remained inessible until now.

    ¡°What?¡± William was blinded with anger when he saw that preposterous button. He froze for a split second which nearly costed his life when a huge rock came crashing down.

    ¡°What the hell is happening? All I wanted is to activate Ultimate Armed Super God Module, but why is it asking for a recharge?¡±

    That same monotonous voice returned, ¡°How can you be stronger if you refuse to recharge?¡±

    Anger poisoned his veins as he erupted, ¡°What¡¯s the connection between getting stronger and recharging?¡±

    The voice continued, ¡°Firstly, you¡¯ll be rewarded with the superpower hamper. It contains timefreeze, super strength, super speed, lightning, super-regeneration and other potent powers.¡±

    It was like a tantalizing dessert luring William towards it. An intense desire to simply relent and recharge rushed through him. He immediately rified, ¡°I¡¯ll recharge. Now. Immediately. But how am I supposed to do that?¡±

    The system replied, ¡°Do you need me to teach you how to recharge? Simply switch on your phone and transfer the money.¡±

    ¡°...¡± William had never expected such a simple method of recharging and was caught in a daze. He then continued, ¡°However, I don¡¯t have any reception over here for my phone.¡±

    Simrly, he began to suspect the entire matter. Why did god-system even require him to bank transfer money over? Something seemed amiss.

    However, the system replied calmly, ¡°The current system provides round-the-universe wifi for its hosts. The hosts are only required to turn on their phones and ess the wifi provided.¡±

    Bam! Bam! Bam! Once again, William narrowly avoided all the attacks raining down on him. His head was covered in soot and dust from all the fighting and destruction. He immediately whipped out his phone and started searching for it. He actually found a wifi named zydashuaibi.

    William was shocked beyond words, ¡°Does this mean that god_system truly provides round-the-universe wifi for all its hosts?¡± Suddenly, he started to realize the sheer magnitude and pervasiveness of the system.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao was simply standing behind the extradimensional belly gate with the router held in his hand.

    Because of the presence of the extradimensional gates, the extradimensional belly had been upgraded to a state where 24/7 electricity was supplied continually. One gate was purposefully erected at the cat caf¨¦ where extension cords and inte cables were extended straight into the belly.

    Now, Zhao Yao simply stood right next to the gate with the router in hand. The gate would flicker continually as it followed closely behind William¡¯s every action, providing him a strong supply of ceaseless inte.

    Suddenly, the system¡¯s voice once again rang in his head, ¡°The password to the wifi is the same as the wifi¡¯s name.¡±

    William instantly logged on to it as his body darted across the jungle maze. He had to continually sweep his head around to dodge the never-ending attacks. Fire, lightning, shockwaves continued pouring down on him as he screamed, ¡°How am I supposed to recharge? Where am I supposed to transfer the funds to?¡±

    This time, Zhao Yao was alerted to the arrival of a new mission on his mission panel. He was almost brought to tears when he saw the content.

    Mission: You can only grow stronger by recharging

    Objective: Save William after his recharge

    Reward: 100 experience points will be awarded for every RMB 50,000 deposited by William

    Punishment: Nil

    ¡°Hmph, Americans sure are kind-hearted. Not only do they give me money, they even give me experience points and help me search the entire ind for cats.¡±

    Joy warmed him from within as Zhao Yao informed him of the relevant bank ount details.

    Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted as the ground split into two. The soil and rocks morphed into sharp projectiles which rained down on William. Despite his best efforts at withstanding the attacks, William still fell to an iing fireball as his phone was hurled into the air and crashed onto the ground.

    The six supercats immediately rushed over and surrounded him in a circle.

    ¡°D*mn it!¡± William stared in despair at his phone which was lying just two meters away from him. His expression was filled with anger and regret. He was so close, so close to recharging the system. He was so close to that amazing superpower hamper. He was so close to reaching the pinnacle of strength.

    William knew that it was all toote. The six cats were preparing to liberate him with their final attack when a blinding golden curtain descended from the sky, enveloping him from them.

    William was bbergasted, ¡°This is ...¡±

    Once again, the voice rang in his ears, ¡°This is the kryptonite dome. Recharging is the most sacred action in the universe, one that cannot be disturbed. When you are in the midst of recharging, you will be protected by the venerable kryptonite dome. You will be in a state of invincibility.¡±

    The ¡®Power Up Card¡¯ enhanced deflective field shielded William from all the attacks. The six supercats were relentless as they continued to assault William with their barrage of attacks. Usually, these attacks could easily destroy any ordinary material. Yet, they were futile against the deflective field.

    ¡°Hmph, the results are just what I expected. The ¡®Power Up Card¡¯ enhanced defective field is more than sufficient to withstand all six of their attacks simultaneously.¡± Zhao Yao continued to experiment with his defensive capabilities while his fingers ran across Ares¡¯s fur. With the power of the illusion, he whispered to William, ¡°Host, kindly continue your recharging process.¡±

    William bit back a scream when he saw the kryptonite dome emerging from nowhere. His hopes were rekindled as excitement overwhelmed him, ¡°My god, this god_system is truly insane! I never imagined such power to even exist! What the hell is it? Is it a superpower? Or is it some alien technology? I must spend some time researching about it after I settle the things on the ind.¡±

    Originally, William remained rather skeptical about god-system since hearing about the bank transfer. However, he was truly convinced by it now that he had seen the universe-wide wifi coverage and the kryptonite dome. His faith in the system was unwavering. Even though the bank ount details seemed rather shady, William did not hesitate one bit and transferred the money over.

    In the midst of the recharging, William was prompted, ¡°How much would you like to recharge?¡±

    ¡°By starting off with USD 10,000,000, you will be rewarded with a superpower hamper which includes timefreeze, super strength, super speed, lightning, and super-regeneration.¡±

    ¡°10,000,000?¡± William was furious, ¡°You didn¡¯t say that it was gonna cost this much!¡±

 Chapter 480: Money Pit

    <h4>Chapter 480: Money Pit</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    A toneless, disembodied voice responded to William¡¯s objection.

    ¡°10 million dors is nothing. You have the rest of your life to earn it back. The Deluxe Superpower Package, however, will be taken off the shelves tomorrow. Once you miss this chance, you¡¯ll never be able to get your hands on it.¡±

    William knitted his eyebrows in frustration.

    ¡°But...But I..,¡± he began to stammer, ¡°I don¡¯t have 10 million dors. My annual ie is only 500 thousand dors.¡±

    ¡°Peasant,¡± Zhao Yao thought, pursuing his lips.

    He continued to operate the deflective field to stave off the six superpowers as he spoke, ¡°Then how much cash do you have?¡±

    William hesitated for a moment before replying, ¡°Two million dors. That¡¯s all that I have.¡±

    ¡°Why, William, you¡¯re in luck. Our special White Day Combo Package is still avable. Better yet, there¡¯s an 80% discount right now. You¡¯ll only have to pay two million dors for a package that is worth 10 million. Isn¡¯t this a wonderful coincidence?¡±

    ¡°Are you serious? 80% off? That¡¯s a big loss for you, isn¡¯t it?¡±

    ¡°Yes, it is. But, for you, it¡¯s a great gain. Every time you purchase a package, I¡¯m losing money. The more you spend, the more I lose.¡±

    William¡¯s eyes were now sparkling with excitement.

    ¡°I¡¯ll have it. Give me the special White Day Combo Package,¡± he stated.

    Zhao Yao was grinning from ear to ear once William transferred the promised two million dors to his ount. He loved missions that gifted him both money and experience points. This top-up task earned him 100 experience points for every 50 thousand dors he received. This meant that he had just pocketed 4,000*2 points.

    It was awesome.

    With the money securely in his ount, he instantly shrunk the deflective field and wrapped it snugly around William¡¯s body like cellophane.

    ¡°The special White Day Combo Package has been downloaded and received. Congrattions on your new super strength, super speed, and indestructible body.¡±

    William watched in awe as he was cloaked in the golden sheath of the deflective field. The iing superpowers could not prate it to hurt him. They bounced off him easily, destroying and scorching the surroundings instead.

    The six supercats were shell-shocked.

    ¡°What kind of power is this?¡±

    ¡°Why are all our superpowers useless against him?¡±

    William made a move as they tried to wrap their heads around the situation. He seemed to have made only one step to end up right behind one of the supercats. He nipped it gently, causing the poor thing to fall into an instanta. He then tossed it away like a frisbee.

    Boom!

    The rest of the supercats jumped into action. A gigantic ball of fire swallowed William, obscuring him from view. The fireball crashed onto the ground, where it started rolling at fiery speed. Cheese halted it by encasing it with rocks and stones, transforming it into a small hill.

    In no time, a loud explosion sounded as the hill was blown into bits by William, who strolled out of it, unharmed.

    Heughed raucously as he looked down appreciatively at his golden body.

    ¡°Today is my lucky day! I struck the best bargain in the world. 2 million dors in exchange for this power? Amazing,¡± he thought to himself.

    With that, he snuck up on one of the five remaining supercats and tossed him aside too.

    Xiao Yu watched the events unfold in a state of confusion. She did not associate William¡¯s terrifying powers with Zhao Yao, but she witnessed the former transferring money to thetter.

    ¡°Hot damn,¡± she said, looking up at him with new-found respect, ¡°How did you get him to give you all that money? Is this your new superpower? Can I exchange Fish Ball for it?¡±

    ¡°Leave me alone.¡±

    Cat Sage had been keenly observing the fight from afar as well, still holding the meteorite fragment between his teeth. He knew that he had to step in after watching the man charge towards his friends, taking them down one after another. He had no idea how this man had suddenly be so powerful, but he knew that his current state as a dinosaur would not be enough to defeat him.

    He let out an earth-shattering roar as his body began to morph into a new form. The muscles packed underneath his skin started to grow. His hands began to lengthen and widen rapidly, transforming into a pair of humongous dragon ws. His neck was elongated. Two mounts were swelling in size on his back. They eventually burst open to reveal a set ofrge, scaly wings.

    The prehistoric dinosaur hadpleted its transformation into the kind of dragon that graced Greek and Roman mythology. With each breath it took, smoke and sparks steamed out of its nostrils.

    Cat Sage¡¯s superpower allowed him to turn into not just any animal, but any living being at all. This was not always the case. Before he found the fragment, he could only take the form ofmon animals that walked the Earth, like a tiger, lion, rat, or perhaps a hippopotamus. With it, his ability strengthened with time and he could now transform into a multitude of beings, including those that only existed in legends. The fire-breathing dragon is his most powerful form yet.

    He rocketed towards William at frightening speed. The two shed in the air and began to fight. The epic collision between a dragon and a superhuman with explosive deflective fields generated a flurry of destructive energy. They soon tumbled into the heart of the woods, where their scramble for power uprooted every tree that stood in their way and kicked up quite a dust storm.

    Cheese was hot on their trail. Likewise, Zhao Yao and Xiao Yu kept close to William while studying the huge dragon intently.

    ¡°He can turn into a freaking dragon?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes were shining with excitement, ¡°I want him! I can ride him into battle next time!¡±

    Ares, however, was not too sure if that was going to happen. The dragon was not only ferocious, but unexpectedly nimble and swift. The scales on its body were as imprable as armor tes on a battleship. No matter how hard he tried, it was impossible to incur any damage at all on the monster.

    Inparison, he was thousands of times smaller in size. The deflective fields protected him from physical damage, but the sheer difference in size between himself and his opponent would do him in eventually. The amount of strength that knocked the dragon off his feet would send William flying hundreds of meters away. The amount of power it took to push the dragon mere steps backward would easily hammer William into the ground like a nail. Even if William¡¯s body could take this, the ground he stood on would copse ultimately.

    This meant that William was at a severe disadvantage despite the deflective field being on par as the dragon¡¯s physical damage.

    Zhao Yao noticed that instantly too. A smirk spread across his lips as he projected his voice into William¡¯s head with another auditory illusion.

    ¡°Dear host,¡± he started, ¡°We have just released the Ultimate Counterattack Package. It seems very helpful for your current predicament.¡±

    At the moment, William was using all his strength to spread apart the ws that were threatening to bind him. He shouted, ¡°I don¡¯t have a cent left!¡±

    When he punctuated this statement, the dragon¡¯s tail made a painful swipe against his chest, sending him flying into the distance.

    Zhao Yao started speaking to William again, this time in a honeyed tone, ¡°Silly boy, you can borrow money.¡±

    Noodle was racing through the woods, but not on all fours. Instead, he was standing upright on his hind legs, looking very much more like a werewolf than a dog. Rice Cake was still securely in one of his hands. A misty glow shrouded her whenever there was a vibration on the ground.

    Thanks to her power, every tree, house, and boulder that stood in his way was promptly blown up, clearing out a path for him.

    The more he used her as an explosive device, the better he got at operating her. He knew exactly which part of her legs he should squeeze to produce a specific effect. It was like she was a game controller.

    Not only did he have the knowledge of how to utilize Rice Cake, his paws had grown to be strong and dexterous enough to hold her in various positions. The amount of power packed in his paw could now rival a human¡¯s punch. In fact, it seemed like his overall physical abilities had been fortified.

    Noodle tilted his head upwards and sniffed the air.

    ¡°It¡¯s Fish Ball!¡± he announced, eyes narrowed in determination.

    He immediately took off in pursuit of hispanion. He caught up to them in no time. With Rice Cake¡¯s help, he dislodged an enormous tree from the ground. It crashed onto the earth, right before Fish Ball and his rally of supercats. They skidded to a stop and narrowly avoided it.

    Noodle chuckled darkly, ¡°Are you running? Do you really think you can get away?¡±

    The trio of female cats stepped in front of Fish Ball without hesitation, shielding him from the husky.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you dare bully our Oppa!¡±

    ¡°We aren¡¯t afraid of you, stupid dog!¡±

    ¡°Fish Ball, darling, just go. Don¡¯t you worry about us. We won¡¯t let him get close to you.¡±

    When thedies turned around, they found that Fish Ball was already long gone.

    Before they could react to this, Noodle had delivered a heavy blow against the back of their heads, knocking them out. They crumpled to the floor.

    The husky gave chase again. He reached Fish Ball in a matter of seconds.

    Of course, there was no way in hell that Fish Ball was going to give in so easily. When he detected the sound of rapidly approaching footsteps, he immediately unleashed a ze of bright lights from every pore of his body. The light was so ring that it was impossible to look into it directly.

    This had been an effective defence, but it was used one too many times by now. Noodle knew that it was going to happen, so he had already shut his eyes tightly when he drew closer to the cat. He reached out and manage to grab Fish Ball.

    ¡°Switch off the lights now,¡± he ordered.

    The light that filtered through his eyelids diminished steadily. He opened his eyes when he sensed that everything was back to normal. The first sight he was met with was Fish Ball, whom was looking up at him withrge, round, and sparkling eyes.

    ¡°You put me through a lot of trouble to find you, Fish Ball,¡± he admonished.

    The cat blinked at him innocently. ¡°I¡¯m just an adorable little kitty cat. I didn¡¯t think I was worth all that effort to hunt me down.¡±

    ¡°Of course you¡¯re worth it,¡± Noodle cut in, ¡°Join me, Fish Ball. Together, we can change the world. Cats and dogs will never be the ves of humans again! Do you really want to help Xiao Yu finish her homework for the rest of your life? Do you want to continue suffering under her tyrannical rule or be brave for once and overthrow her? Our sess might notst forever, but it will be worth every second!¡±

    ¡°That was beautifully put. Yes, I¡¯m in,¡± Fish Ball agreed quickly.

    To himself, he rolled his eyes. ¡°This idiot must¡¯ve gone mad. I¡¯ll pretend to go along with him for now. Once Xiao Yu and Zhao Yao find us, he¡¯s in for it.¡±

    ¡°Hmm...¡± Noodle did not expect that he could convince Fish Ball so quickly.

    There was a pregnant pause as he studied the cat thoughtfully. Then, he said, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, eat this curry. This is our initiation. Once you eat it, we¡¯re officially allies.¡±

    Fish Ball looked visibly rmed when he spotted the curry that was smeared in Noodle¡¯s paw.

    ¡°Is it okay if I didn¡¯t eat it?¡± he asked in a croaky voice.

    He sounded like there was a ball of emotion lodged in his throat, threatening to be thrown up.

    Noodle did not respond. Instead, in one swift move, his brought his paw down to Fish Ball¡¯s face and smashed the curry into the cat¡¯s open mouth.

    Fat tears started rolling down Fish Ball¡¯s face.

    Noodle grinned in satisfaction. ¡°Great! You¡¯re one of us now.¡±

    Fish Ball did not say a word. However, he was screaming internally, ¡°Stupid dog, you¡¯re dead! You¡¯re finished! Once Xiao Yues for us, I will make sure you suffer ten times worse of what you put me through! I will make Xiao Yu sterilize you!¡±

    For now, however, he kept quiet. Noodle grabbed him with his free paw and shouted, ¡°Light!¡±

    Obediently, Fish Ball released a surge of light that radiated in all directions except for Noodle¡¯s. He alone could see perfectly while everyone else surrounding them would be blinded by the re.

    ¡°Perfect. If anyone wants to fight us, the first thing we¡¯ll do is is give them a taste of your light show.¡±

    Noodle raised his arm and extended it to different angles. Fish Ball diligently altered the course of his light ordingly to avoid hitting Noodle.

    ¡°From now, you¡¯ll be known as the Fish of Joy. You, me, and the Ultimate Sorrow will take over the world together and overthrow the corrupt humans.¡±

    Noodle raised both his paws. He was now armed with two fistfuls of supercats. With one paw on Ultimate Sorrow and the other on the Fish of Joy, it was as good as holding onto a high-frequency de and a lightsaber.

    However, a shadow of doubt was cast on his face.

    ¡°I feel like we¡¯re missing something.¡±

    He moved his head closer to Rice Cake, whom was still moaning softly.

    ¡°I...want...to...go...online...¡±

    He then tilted his head towards Fish Ball, whom waspletely silent.

    ¡°Fish Ball, you have tough,¡± he stated.

    The cat stared at him nkly. ¡°Huh?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re the Fish of Joy! You have to be, you know, joyful!¡±

    There was a quiver in Fish Ball¡¯s lips. It took him a substantial amount of effort to force augh.

    ¡°Ha. Ha.¡±

    ¡°Fish Ball, could I trouble you tough with more happiness, please.¡±

    ¡°Ha. Ha. Haaaa.¡±

    *

    At the heart of the battle, Zhao Yao was still busy negotiating business with William.

    The man was being knocked around like a tennis ball by the dragon. The deflective field protected him from life-threatening danger, but it was not fun being thrown around like that. The pressure from being crashed into the ground or against the side of a hill repeatedly was starting to hurt him.

    There was a sadistic glow in the Cat Sage¡¯s eyes as he continued tossing and flinging the golden man around. The man could muster as much strength as his dragon could, but he was way too light and slight. Every collision they made ended with him flying miles away while the dragon just stumbled a few steps back.

    ¡°Darn it!¡± William cursed.

    He could feel a dull pain pulsing from within him. His organs had been knocked around incessantly and it was starting to sting. He knew that he could only keep up with this for that much longer. His only way out was to borrow money so he can get that Ultimate Counterattack Package.

    In the meantime, the Cat Sage grew increasingly confident that the situation was entirely under his control now. In fact, he was beginning to find it fun to bully this little golden man and send him flying through the air.

    He began to rx. The iron bite he had on the meteorite fragment loosened just a fraction. Unfortunately, that was enough for the fragment to be dislodged and instantly pried away from him by an invisible force.

    He watched in horror as the fragment flew across the sky like a shooting star.

    This was the work of Nekomata. He had been patiently waiting for the moment when the Cat Sage lost his focus. Once he loosened his bite slightly, the spirit cat had dived in to grab the fragment. There was a look of unadulterated joy on his face as he cradled the fragment in his hands, darting away as quickly as he could.

    ¡°No!¡± the dragon roared.

    Its attention was directed away from William and was now firmly trained on the escaping meteorite fragment. It extended its humongous pair of wings. In a few ps, it lifted into the air and headed straight for what was rightfully his.

    ¡°I¡¯ll hand this apostle to you. I¡¯m going after the fragment.¡±

    The dragon let out a blood-curdling bellow as it pped its huge, bat-like wings, hot on Nekomata¡¯s trail. It roared through the sky like a living, breathing, fighter jet.

    It did not take long to close in on the fragment. The dragon was centimeters from reaching it when an enormous face sprung into view. Cat Sage almost crashed into the monstrosity, which looked like it belonged to some grisly, supernatural being. It gave him quite the fright.

    As a result, the dragon skidded to a halt in the air. In that moment, the ghostly face disappeared as quickly as it had appeared and Nekomata¡¯s figure could be seen darting into the thick of the woods. The fragment was safely cradled in his arms.

    Cat Sage¡¯s eyes narrowed. It had be evident that the face was harmless. The fragment thief probably realized that there was no way he could. outrun the dragon, so the monstrous face was his attempt at a distraction.

    He was right. Nekomata could enter spirit mode and be invisible, but the fragment could not. The only way for him to evade the dragon was to get the heck away from it.

    Cat Sage shrieked in rage, partially because his precious fragment had been stolen, but mostly because he fell for the thief¡¯s little trick.

    Roar!

    ¡°You are dead meat!¡±

    The dragon tore towards the forest, paying no mind to the grove of trees that it demolished along the way. It was not difficult to knock them down, but it still slowed Cat Sage down, effectively keeping him from reaching his precious fragment.

    Nekomata was ovee with a heady mixture of excitement and fear as he heard the dragon¡¯s roars keeping up with his pace. This was exhrating. He felt...super cool.

    Outside the woods, Cheese, Kimchi, and gang followed Cat Sage¡¯s instructions and had surrounded William. The apostle did not flee as they closed in on him. Instead, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and shot them a smug smile. The dragon was the only one who could throw him around like a ping pong ball. These cats, on the other hand, were unable to do him any harm.

    With a menacing burst ofughter, William took one step closer to them. In response, the supercats took a few steps back. This widened the grin on his face. He knew he was going to beat them in one fell swoop. Cat Sage knew this as well. However, the fragment came first, so he had to relegate the man to his friends.

    As William was about to make his move, the golden glow that enveloped him began to blink erratically, like a lightbulb that was about to go out. The light began to dim and was eventually extinguished.

    His eyes widened.

    He started to panic on the inside, ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why has my power disappeared?!¡±

    Zhao Yao answered him promptly, ¡°The superpowers included in your special White Daybo package can only be used for a limited time of five minutes.¡±

    ¡°What?!¡±

    ¡°To continue using these powers, please renew the temporary package or purchase the permanent version.¡±

    William¡¯s body was shaking. He felt sick. He could not believe that he had just spent his life¡¯s savings on temporary superpowers that belonged to him for a mere five minutes.

    Cheese and the cats might be able to hear the conversation between William and Zhao Yao, but they noticed that their opponent¡¯s magnificent glow had vanished. They looked at each other, all of them wondering if this was an indication that his abilities had weakened.

    ¡°Are his powers depleted?¡±

    ¡°Maybe. His superpowers are extraordinary after all. They could have a time limit.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t be rash, you guys. This could be a trap.¡±

    William watched the cats carefully. He knew that it was only a matter of time before they struck. Without hesitation, he shouted, ¡°I want a renewal! I want my force field back!¡±

    In an instant, the blinding, golden light was turned back on. The supercats narrowed their eyes at its return while William heaved a sigh of relief. He was finally back in the safety of his indestructible bubble.

    ¡°Thank God I can still renew it.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s voice rang in his head again, ¡°The force field has been activated. Pleaseplete payment within three minutes. If payment is not made, it will be considered a contract breach between you and the system. The system would be able to deduct 100 points from any of your attributes as it deems fit.¡±

    William was on the verge of coughing up blood when he did a quick stocktake of his attributes. His strength, agility, and intelligence totaled to no more than 20 points. He did not want to find out what would happen if those values dipped below zero.

    ¡°Wait a minute. What do you mean by the system deducting 100 points as it deems fit?¡± William asked.

    ¡°It means that I will deduct points wherever I want and you have no say about it.¡±

    William felt like that blood was really catching in his throat.

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°More than 30 peer-to-peer lending tform apps have already been automatically installed in your phone to facilitate the process of borrowing money for the renewal.¡±

    William found himself at a loss for words.

    ¡°I...¡±

    He had thought that god_system was a godsend. It turned out to be nothing more than the biggest money pit in the world. He had dived headfirst into the pit and there was no going back. If he did not pay and lost 100 attribute points, the cats would tear him apart easily. If god_system disappeared right now, the same fate awaited him.

    He was left with no choice but to whip out his phone and seek mary aid.

    He scrolled past the apps that Zhao Yao downloaded. They were all in Chinese and he could not understand most of it. He had also heard horror stories of how insanely the interest chalked up from these tforms, so he intended to borrow money from his friends instead.

    As William fired quick messages to them, he asked, ¡°How much does the permanent version cost?¡±

    ¡°The permanent package costs USD 50 million.¡±

    William was ashen-faced. Even if he borrowed money from every one of his rtives and friends, he would still not be able to umte that amount of money.

    ¡°How about the temporary version?¡±

    ¡°Hmm. I¡¯ll sell it to you at just USD 1.5 million. It¡¯s a steal. I¡¯m losing out from this.¡±

    William¡¯s eyebrows were pulled tightly together in anger, but he did not say a thing. He simply red at the phone as he focused on borrowing money from his friends, colleagues, and even his boss, whom agreed when he said that this money would help him get his hands on the fragment.

    It took him more than 10 minutes to gather the USD 1.5 million. Zhao Yao did not confiscate the force field after the first three minutes. He set that limit just to hasten William¡¯s loan process

    Once the money was in, the force field shrunk to fit William like an imprable, golden cling wrap. The indestructible body was back.

    Menace shed in his eyes as he let out a roar of rage and threw himself at the cats.

    With his superpowers restored, it did not take long for William to round up Cheese, Kimchi, and the other cats. He knocked them unconscious in one swift move and tied them securely to his back with metal wire.

    Xiao Yu was not paying any attention to how he subdued the cats. Instead, her eyes were trained on Zhao Yao. In a matter of minutes, he had somehow managed to get a stranger to transfer USD 3.5 million into his bank ount.

    In her eyes, that made him a legend.

    ¡°My dearest Zhao Yao, remember how I coddled you when you were a child?¡± she started.

    The hairs on his arms and the back of neck stood on their ends.

    ¡°I remember you peeing on me when you were an infant,¡± he retorted in a deadpan voice.

    Xiao Yu narrowed her eyes momentarily, but her face broke into a grin again.

    ¡°How about I give you Noodle and Fish Ball and you teach me how to earn money so quickly?¡± she proposed earnestly.

    Zhao Yao turned to her and red. ¡°Earn money? What¡¯s the point of having so much money? Take it from me ¨C once you¡¯ve umted a certain amount of wealth, money is nothing more than a string of numbers. My biggest regret is to earn so much of it.¡±

    Xiao Yu rolled her eyes in response, ¡°Why don¡¯t you transfer that money to me then?¡±

    ¡°Sure,¡± Zhao Yao said, fishing for his phone to start the transfer.

    Xiao Yu¡¯s eyes lit up like stars in the night sky. She squeezed his forearm in joy.

    ¡°Good boy! I¡¯ve not doted on you for nothing,¡± she beamed.

    She stared at the screen on his phone as he entered a long string of zeros into the text box. She was so excited by now that her face was flushed and her heart was thumping against her chest. All of this came to a standstill when Zhao Yao transferred the money to his own WeChat ount and not hers.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, that¡¯s not my ount!¡± she protested loudly.

    ¡°Oops, toote. I¡¯ve already made the transfer.¡±

    Xiao Yu gritted her teeth in anger. Zhao Yao ignored the rage that was rolling off her. His thoughts were happilytched onto the influx of money that had poured into his WeChat ount.

    He knew that he had milked William for his worth, so he decided to end the quest.

    Altogether, he had received USD 2.5 million + USD 1.5 million, which totaled to an impressive 7,000*2 experience points. These points were instantly added to his Book, which became Level 6 (38,262 / 20,000).

    Zhao Yao could have jumped for joy.

    ¡°The life of a conman is a profitable one. This is so much easier than having to fight supercats and catch the bad guys,¡± he thought.

    With Cheese and the other supercats defeated, William was unsure about what to do next. Loud rumbling and regr sts were stilling from the woods. It was obvious that the dragon had not got its ws on the meteorite fragment yet.

    William very much wanted to join in and snatch the fragment before the dragon could. However, he was not confident that his temporary skills couldst that long.

    This thought had barely crossed his mind when an update appeared on god_system¡¯s mission panel.

    ¡°Defeat the dragon and get the permanent version as a reward.¡±

    William¡¯s eyes nearly bulged out of his head.

    ¡°I¡¯ll just take a look. If I can¡¯t handle it, I¡¯ll take the unconscious cats and run. If I can...¡±

    He let out a few deep breaths before sprinting into the forest.

    *

    When the dragon screeched, Nekomata would scamper forward even more quickly.

    He had run into the woods to seek cover from the dense grove of trees. That had worked like a charm to slow the dragon down. By now, however, many of the trees had been uprooted and destroyed, leaving him with substantially less protection. Worse, the dragon did not seem at all tired from knocking down the giant trees. It was still in close pursuit.

    Nekomata had attempted to hurt the dragon with his telekinesis. Unfortunately, it was toorge to be grasped and manipted. He could not even make it turn its head an inch.

    At this point, it seemed that his only option was to give up the fragment. If he let it go, he would be able topse into spirit mode and be incorporeal and, therefore, impossible to touch or hurt.

    Nekomata was struggling to make a decision when there was an abrupt turn of events.

    His ears twitched as he picked up the sound of distant howling, which grew steadily louder as a dog emerged out of nowhere. It bolted towards the dragon and stopped right in front of it, blocking its way. The dog had one cat in each hand.

    Nekomata¡¯s eyes grew wide with surprise. He instantly recognized the dog to be Noodle and that the cats in his grip were Rice Cake and Fish Ball.

    He shouted a warning to them immediately, ¡°Run! Don¡¯t fight the dragon!¡±

    Noodle showed no signs of heeding his advice. He let out a few short, aggressive barks, then threw himself at the dragon.

    Cat Sage was unperturbed. Even as a cat, he had never been impressed with or intimidated by dogs. His lips curled into a smirk, revealing a row of sharp, lethal fangs. He swiped at the husky with one w.

    In response, Noodle raised one of his paws into the air. That was the paw that held Fish of Joy. An explosion of light erupted in a sea ofughter, leaving the dragon blinded and in pain. It let out a cry as it stumbled around, madly swinging its tail and ws around in hopes of hitting the perpetrator.

    Noodle was too nimble for that. He dashed around the dragon and leaped onto its back, where he nted Ultimate Sorrow.

    Bam!

    The moment Rice Cake made contact with the dragon, the super high-frequency vibrations she radiated hit it at full force. The dragon shrieked in pain as its armor-like scales were sliced into thin pieces in a burst of blood and flesh.

    Noodle raised his paw and struck it against another part of the dragon¡¯s back, shredding it into a bloody mess as well. The dragon was doubled over and squalling in agony. It looked like it was just trying to escape the husky.

    Cat Sage might be in the form of a mighty dragon now, but he was still a cat at heart. Right now, he was blinded and in terrible pain, so it was only natural that he had curled into a ball of fear and confusion.

    Unfortunately, Noodle was not going to let him off so easily.

    ¡°Where do you think you¡¯re going?¡± the husky shouted, immediately racing after the dragon, ¡°Whoooo-ahhh-tah! Wa tah! Wa tah, wa tah, wa tah!¡±

    He was beating the two cats against the dragon¡¯s back like a pair of superpower nunchucks.

    Nekomata watched the scene unfold with his jaw dropped. He was in disbelief.

    ¡°Has Ho Hao Cang been awakened?¡± he wondered in disbelief, ¡°That¡¯s impossible. He¡¯s not a cat in the first ce. And when did Rice Cake and Fish Ball agree to be his weapons?¡±

    Nekomata was itching to film this on his phone, but he had stashed it away so that he can bepletely undetectable in spirit mode. All he could do now was to continue watching.

    It soon became clear that Noodle had the upper hand only because of the element of surprise. Fish Ball and Rice Cake¡¯s superpowers werepletely unexpected. The sudden outburst of light,bined with the unforeseen damage from the vibrations, temporarily incapacitated the dragon.

    However, this would notst for much longer. Dragons were possibly the biggest, strongest, and most resilient creatures ever. Rice Cake had wounded it, but the injuries were in no way lethal. Noodle would not be to able to y the dragon. He just made it very, very angry.

    When a window of opportunity presented itself, the dragon took it and pped its wings rapidly, lifting its massive body high into the air. It tilted its head in the direction of its opponents and opened its mouth, spewing a tornado of fire that headed straight for the ground.

    It seemed like the dragon had finally regained its upper hand when a beam of golden light cut through the sky from the horizon.

    It was William.

    With one giant leap, hended squarely on the dragon¡¯s back. He raised both hands into the air, then brought them down and wedged them deep into its wounds.

    The dragon writhed in pain and began iling towards the ground.

    A sonorous boom echoed through the woods as William and the Cat Sage hit the ground in a heap. Noodle let out a bark ofughter as he rushed forward and vaulted onto the dragon¡¯s back, eager to resume his attack.

    Nekomata could not help the sigh of relief that escaped his lips as he watched the man and dog bashing the dragon mercilessly. He looked adoringly at the meteorite fragment cradled in his paws. He was not sure exactly what the fragment was, but he knew that it was good for supercats.

    The dragony on the grass, immobile. It was bleeding heavily fromrge, open wounds that were covered all over its back. William stood triumphantly on the defeated creature as he checked out his mission panel. His eyes lit up when he saw that he had been awarded the permanent superpowers. He could barely contain his excitement.

    As the saying goes, ¡®You don¡¯t know what you have until it¡¯s gone¡¯. Having experienced the despair of losing his mighty powers, he now cherished them with all his heart. He treasured it so much that he headed straight for the dragon instead of sneaking up on Nekomata to steal the fragment.

    That intention, however, was still very much on his mind. He was feeling confident and he wanted to take action. He turned to face the husky and Nekomata.

    ¡°Since this guy¡¯s been defeated,¡± he spoke in heavily-ented Mandarin, ¡°We should split the fragment between us.¡±

    Immediately, Nekomata hid the fragment behind him and turned his body away from William. Noodle raised two clenched fists in front of him, ready to fight the man.

    William narrowed his eyebrows. If looks could kill, the cat and dog before him would have dropped dead.

    Noodle began to bark, ¡°Hmph, did you think you can just waltz in here and take what is ours? You¡¯ll first have to get permission from my two cats!¡±

    The husky had been undefeatable since he got his paws on Fish Ball and Rice Cake. This sess had bolstered his confidence levels tremendously. He was getting cocky. He would have attacked even if this was Zhao Yao, much less some random apostle.

    He was not afraid.

    Once Noodle punctuated his statement, he bent his knees and propelled himself towards William, leaving a whirl of dust and grass in his trail.

    William remained rooted to the spot. There was a sharp glint in his eye as he raised his fists, ready to strike back.

    Before the two could collide, Noodle found himself losing strength and speed rapidly. His new-found power had inexplicably disappeared. He found himself losing bnce and tumbling forwards clumsily, stopping right before William¡¯s feet. Even the robustness of his paws was gone. He failed to grip the two supercats tightly enough and they flew out of his grasp.

    Noodle lifted his head and his eyes met William¡¯s cold gaze. In that instant, the husky knew that there was no way he could fight back, so he stuck out his tongue and started whining, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, boss. I¡¯ve made a mistake.¡±

    William did not understand what his sounds meant, so he grabbed the dog by the neck and lifted him off the grass. Noodle did not fight back or demonstrate any of its previous superpower abilities. It seemed like he had reverted to being a normal dog. This made Williamugh in relief, ¡°Thank God.¡±

    He then turned his attention to Nekomata, whom was still holding onto the fragment.

    ¡°Your partner is in my hands now. If you want him to live, you¡¯ll hand that fragment to me.¡±

    A pained expression made its way to Nekomata¡¯s face. The meteorite fragment in his paw was magical. He could feel himself growing stronger by the second just from holding it. That felt a million times better than the high that the best catmint could give him.

    However, he did not want to let Ho Hao Cang die either.

    William let out a derisive snort as the cat weighed his options. He tightened his vice grip around the husky¡¯s neck. Noodle¡¯s tongue rolled out of his open mouth. His face was beginning to turn purple.

    ¡°I¡¯m serious. Give me the fragment or I¡¯ll wring this idiotic dog¡¯s neck,¡± he threatened.

    Nekomata let out a sigh. He was left with no choice. He had to give up the fragment. However, he wanted to make sure that the man released Noodle before he handed it to him. As long as Noodle¡¯s safety was no longerpromised like it was now, he could slip into spirit mode and steal the fragment back eventually.

    Xiao Yu, who had been carefully watching everything, turned to Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Hey, shouldn¡¯t we step in now?¡± she asked.

    Zhao Yao shook his head no, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, no serious harm wille their way. This is the perfect opportunity to teach them a lesson. Those two aren¡¯t well-disciplined enough, which is why they¡¯re stirring trouble all the way here. Let them suffer a little more. They¡¯ll be extra thankful when we rescue them and they¡¯ll listen to every word you say in the future.¡±

    With that, he snapped his fingers. In a matter of seconds, Matcha¡¯s head had popped out from the extradimensional belly. A serving tray was bnced on top of his head. A steaming mug of coffee sat in the middle.

    Zhao Yao lifted the mug to his lips and took a sip.

    ¡°See how well-behaved my cats are?¡± he asked, grinning.

    Xiao Yu nodded thoughtfully, ¡°I¡¯ll train Fish Ball and Noodle to cook and wait on me once we¡¯re home. It¡¯ll look so cool.¡±

    Back in the center of the battle, Nekomata had finally decided to toss the fragment towards William. The man caught it easily. His eyes shone with excitement as his fingers brushed the fragment.

    ¡°I¡¯ve finally got you.¡±

    His excitement had transformed into some kind of fanatic zeal. It was like all the stars had aligned. He had indestructible superpowers, permanently this time round. He also had the meteorite fragment. Best of all, he was on an ind popted entirely by supercats. He could set up his own superpower faction right here, right now.

    He was so absorbed by his thoughts that he did not notice that the dragon beneath his feet had begun to stir. There was movement behind his eyelids before they started to open.

    Cat Sage had lost because the fragment had been taken from him. Now that it was in William¡¯s hand, the dragon was close enough to once again receive the power it radiated.

    By keeping the fragment on him all the time, Cat Sage had never stopped growing stronger. He had always known that one day, this would reach a tipping point. When that happened, his steady improvements would cumte into an evolution for the ages.

    He never expected that it would take ce right now.

    His heart was beating rapidly, pumping bursts of blood through his veins to every part of his body. He started to shed his scales like how a snake would moult its skin. They were giving way so that the bones, joints, and muscles that made up hisrge frame could grow even bigger and stronger.

    When William finally noticed that this was happening, he cast Noodle aside and pelted punch after punch at the dragon. Unfortunately, the damage he incurred was minimal. It was mainly Noodle and Rice Cake who had destroyed Cat Sage¡¯s defences previously after all. Without them, he did not stand a chance.

    William battered the wounds on the dragon¡¯s back ceaselessly, but he could not stop the evolution. Strips of solid muscle were blooming on top of the injuries and were intertwined to form a stronger, sturdier body. A faint golden glow was radiating from it.

    At the same time, two mounds of flesh had sprouted on either side of the dragon¡¯s head. They mushroomed at an rming rate and while William did not know for sure what they were, he could already sense the menace within.

    ¡°We need to work together! We have to stop the transformation!¡±

    Having recovered from his initial shock, William finally figured out what was happening. He swiftly flung the of concussed supercats away. Then, he tossed the meteorite fragment even further.

    It was toote.

    The fragment had already fueled thest stage of Cat Sage¡¯s evolution. Nothing could stop the dragon¡¯s metamorphosis. Its colossal body grewrger still and was soon adorned with a glistening coat of golden scales.

    William was undeterred. He raised both fists and began pummeling mercilessly against its back like a pile-driver.

    Nekomata joined in as well. He used his telekic powers to pry open the wounds that had been freshly mended together.

    Fish Ball climbed onto his feet as well. He released a beam of bright light that tunneled right into the dragon¡¯s eyes.

    Rice Cake and Noodle did not join the fight. They were both sprawled out on the floor, albeit for different reasons. Rice Cake was still wallowing in self-pity and could not care less about what was going on around her. Noodle could not move because he had sprained his hip after William threw him to the ground.

    Amid the explosions and screeches, the dragon continued to rapidly expand in size. Soon, it rivaled the length of amercial airne.

    This was not the only change that the evolution ushered. The two mounds of flesh that were perched next on its shoulders had burst open, revealing dragon heads that were drenched in the same gold color as its scales. The three heads tilted upwards in unison and let out a thunderous roar. The battle cry created a visible distortion in the air. It produced a ball of energy that was as powerful as a vacuum bomb, sending an explosion of pressure waves charging in all directions.

    William, Fish Ball, Noodle, and Rice Cake were instantly knocked off the ground and flew through the air. If Zhao Yao had not protected them with the deflective field, the impact would probably have killed them instead. Nekomata had slipped into spirit mode quickly enough to avoid getting hit.

    The earth-shaking explosion woke the band of unconscious supercats from their slumber. They gaped at the three-headed dragon before them.

    Cheese was the first to wrap his head around what they were seeing.

    ¡°The sage has seeded!¡± he eximed in delight, ¡°His superpower has evolved!¡±

    The dragon¡¯s physical form was still transforming at this point. Theyer of golden, armor-like scales was still making its way across its gargantuan body. The aura it radiated grew more and more lethal.

    William had no wish to witness what the dragon would be like at the end of the evolution. Its deadly aura was too much for him to bear. He turned and tried to make a run for it.

    Unfortunately, this did not escape the dragon¡¯s eye. William had barely dashed a hundred meters when a monstrous w fell from above and tried to pin him to the ground. He let out a cry of protest and pushed back, but he could only fight it off for a second. He screamed in agony and used every ounce of strength to shove the w away, but it would not budge.

    The dragon had not only grown stronger, but also more massive than ever before. He could defeat a tiny, little human like William with just his hefty weight alone. All it had to do was to close his ws around him to hold him securely in ce. There was a sh of fear in William¡¯s eyes when he realized that there was no way out of its iron grip.

    The monster raised all three of its heads towards the sky again and let out another roar. This time, they did not work together to create a detonation. Instead, each head opened its mouth to spew something different into the air, which was soon filled with vortexes of mes, ice sts, and poison.

    Noodle and Fish Ball watched this with their jaws dropped. They were terrified.

    Cheese and friends, on the other hand, were ecstatic. The more monstrous the three-headed dragon was, the safer their ind would be.

    Cat Sage was extremely pleased as well. He knew that an evolution woulde, but this exceeded his expectations. This iteration of the dragon would be at least 10 times more powerful than the previous one.

    For starters, its 60-meter long body would be enough for it to destroy entire cities by casually trampling through them. The sheath of golden scales was a lot sturdier than the one he had before. Anything short of a missile would fail to inflict any damage on him. Then, there were the two new heads, which equipped him with the ability to freeze and poison legions of opponents at once.

    As the dragon, he was practically unbeatable.

    This thought had barely crossed his mind when Zhao Yao appeared before him atst.

    Three pairs of amber eyes squinted at the intruder. Then, one of the heads lunged forward, its jaw wide open.

    ¡°I don¡¯t care who you are. I¡¯ll capture you first and deal with youter,¡± he thought.

    Unfortunately, the head never reached him. A red glimmer reflected in Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes and Cat Sage felt himself losing control of the dragon¡¯s body in seconds. Soon, he was paralyzed andpletely unable to move.

    Zhao Yao grinned. ¡°What a handsome, golden three-headed dragon. You¡¯ll make a great steed for me.¡±

    There was a sinister glint in the dragon¡¯s eyes. Cat Sage wanted to fight back, but he could not free himself from the man¡¯s control.

    ¡°Aww? You¡¯re not happy that you¡¯ve lost?¡± Zhao Yao chuckled.

    He tapped two fingers against the head that had charged for him.

    The next moment, the dragon was sent ricocheting through the woods, knocking down dozens of towering trees that it flew into. It kicked up a storm of dust and dirt as it rolled hundreds of meters like a high-speed bowling ball. It went on for so long because Zhao Yao had used Elizabeth¡¯s mind-control topel the dragon to keep rolling forward. However, to an onlooker, it would seem as if that tap on the head was tremendously powerful.

    When the spinning finally came to a halt, Cat Sage felt that he had regained control of his body again. He scrambled onto his feet immediately and growled with rage, ready to get his revenge.

    Zhao Yao zipped to him again and stopped right before the head in the middle. The eerie red glint was back in his eyes.

    ¡°Sit down.¡±

    With that, he leaped into the air and brought one foot down on the top of its head.

    The dragon crumpled to the ground helplessly. To Cheese, William, Fish Ball, and the other onlookers, it looked like an invisible mountain had been ced onto its body, holding it to the floor.

    The three heads were bellowing again. Each of them was straining to get off the ground. This prompted another red sh in Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes. The three heads shot right up, but were swiftly bludgeoned to the ground by an unseen force. The dragon¡¯s fierce roars were reduced to soft whimpers.

    ¡°Are you going to admit defeat now?¡±

    William was transfixed. He remained t on the ground as he watched one man swat the dragon around as if it was a fly, not a legendary monster. He felt like his eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.

    When he finally made out Zhao Yao¡¯s appearance, he broke out in cold sweat.

    ¡°That guy... Wasn¡¯t he the rich kid I saw on the beach? Has he been watching us all this time? Did he only step in because he knew we can¡¯t beat the dragon?¡±

    Speaking of the dragon, it was unable to fight back or escape Zhao Yao¡¯s grasp, but defiance was still spelled clearly in its eyes. Zhao Yao had a suspicion that once he let go, it would attack.

    The corners of his lips lifted into a smile that did not reach his eyes.

    He chuckled coldly, ¡°I think someone¡¯s in need of some serious reformation.¡±

    As the man spoke, Cat Sage felt his back tense up.

    He had a very, very bad feeling about what was going to happen next.

    Zhao Yao smiled at the dragon.

    ¡°It¡¯s alright if you don¡¯t want to admit defeat.¡±

    The red glow in his eyes thickened into a scarlet fog. He had used Elizabeth¡¯s mind-control again. This time, he forced Cat Sage to revoke his superpower. In an instant, the three-headed dragon was reduced to a small cat that stood barely taller than the grass. The cat looked down at its body in surprise.

    The corners of Zhao Yao¡¯s lips lifted into a satisfied grin. Of all that superpowers at his disposal, Matcha¡¯s and Elizabeth¡¯s were the most effective for one-on-onebat. As long as he was close enough to maintain eye-contact with the opponent, Elizabeth¡¯s mind-control would always get him the upper hand.

    It was no different this time. He had spent time observing Cat Sage and his ring of supercats. Mind-control would do the trick.

    Zhao Yao could not help a chuckle when he spotted his opponent in his original form. He scooped the cat into his arms and stroked the top of his headfortingly.

    ¡°Everything¡¯s alright now. In time, you¡¯ll understand that everything I¡¯m doing is for your own good,¡± he said soothingly.

    It turned out that Cat Sage was an American Shorthair with a chocte coat of fur. He squirmed and writhed against Zhao Yao, trying desperately to avoid the touch of his filthy ws. Hisrge eyes were narrowed in chagrin. However, he did not intend to transform into a dragon as retaliation.

    Zhao Yao would like to force his new dragon steed into submission right now, but there were other pressing matters to tend to. There were plenty of loose ends to tie up on this ind.

    For a start, he had to deal with William. The American was useless to him now. There were no new missions that depended on him. The key supercats that ruled the ind were also in his possession.

    Zhao Yao cast a sideways nce at the man, whom jumped and started breaking out in cold sweat again.

    William wasted no time to introduce himself, ¡°I¡¯m an investigator from Star Cats. My supervisors know that I¡¯ve here. The supercat you¡¯re holding actually escaped from ourb...¡±

    There was an annoyed twitch in Zhao Yao¡¯s right eyebrow.

    ¡°Of course, if you like him, you can keep him,¡± William added quickly, ¡°Under your supervision, I¡¯m certain he won¡¯t cause any trouble for mankind. Well, if that¡¯s all, I¡¯m going to leave now.¡±

    With that, he began to take a few slow steps backward, right in the direction of the meteorite fragment. He was frank about the cat, but kept quiet about the fragment because he hoped to leave with it unnoticed.

    Zhao Yao smiled coldly.

    ¡°You¡¯re not too honest,¡± hemented lightly.

    With Cat Sage still in his arms, he ambled forward and picked up the fragment. It was the size of a clenched fist.

    ¡°This is the meteorite fragment, correct?¡±

    William had no choice but to ster a fake smile. ¡°Yes, that is the fragment. We¡¯ve conducted multiple tests on it. To date, we have not found it to hold any special properties.¡±

    Zhao Yao did not respond to his words. He looked oddly preupied and thoughtful the moment he made contact with the fragment.

    Main Mission: Assemble the meteorite

    Mission: Collect all the meteorite fragments that had awakened the supercats

    Reward: Receive 1 supercat skill point with every 10% of the fragments collected. Activate the supercat evolution module once 100% of the fragments are collected.

    Punishment: None

    After he had read thest word of the mission description, the meteorite fragment in his palm began to melt into liquid globules. The globules were absorbed into his body one after another. Zhao Yao spun around instinctively, using his back to prevent anyone from seeing what was happening. His eyes were widened in disbelief.

    He could never have imagined that he would be able to absorb the fragment to evolve his Book.

    His mind was whirling with questions and guesses. One of them in particr stood out, ¡°Perhaps the main missions are used to upgrade the Book while the sidequests are used to fulfill my personal goals?¡±

    This had only been the second main mission he had encountered. The first was to level up the Book. Every other mission he had been assigned so far could be considered sidequests.

    This new mission also made it clear that the powers of his Book were closely linked to the mysterious meteorite.

    ¡°I always thought that the evolution module would be avable after I level up the Book. Turns out I have to collect the fragments first,¡± he mused.

    Zhao Yao scratched the bottom of his chin as he reflected on the progress of the Book from the very beginning. When he was first given the Book, it took him no time to notice the multitude of options and abilities that were locked. As it leveled up, some of them, for example the diamond hall and delegation panel, were made avable.

    The prospect of activating the supercat evolution module thrilled him.

    ¡°Gosh, will it be like Pikachu evolving into Raichu? I wonder what Matcha¡¯s evolved version would look like,¡± he contemted, ¡°It won¡¯t be easy to get all those pieces though. Any supercat or human that has one will not give it up without a fight.¡±

    While he was consumed in his thoughts, Zhao Yao¡¯s facial expressions transformed fluidly from one to another. William watched and waited, not knowing what was going on in the man¡¯s head.

    He spoke eventually, ¡°Excuse me, sir? If there¡¯s nothing else you need from me, I¡¯m gonna get going.¡±

    ¡°Hmm?¡±

    His voice brought Zhao Yao¡¯s attention back to him.

    ¡°How many meteorite fragments do the Americans have?¡± Zhao Yao asked point-nk.

    William was frozen in surprise for a moment, but recovered quickly.

    ¡°I have no idea. I¡¯m an entry-grade investigator. They don¡¯t tell me these things,¡± he replied smoothly.

    Zhao Yao did not buy it.

    He called for Old Cat and spat him out into the forest in an instant. He pursed his lips, then decided to bring out Matcha, Roly Poly, Elizabeth, Ares, Sphynx Cat, and a dozen more trustworthy supercats from the extradimensional belly. These were his trusted feline allies after all. With their help, he would be able to deal with all the loose ends on this ind.

    William gawked at the sight of the cats rolling out of Zhao Yao¡¯s open jaw in an orderly fashion.

    The first order Zhao Yao issued was for Old Cat to squeeze every,st drop of intel from William. Due to the formidable nature of the cat¡¯s ability, he was not keen on releasing him into the real world. However, his curiosity about what the Americans might be hiding overpowered his caution. This was why he arranged for the two to have a private chat on the ind.

    Once that was done, he turned his attention to the rest of his supercats.

    ¡°Matcha, Roly Poly, Sphynx Cat, and Ares,¡± he addressed, ¡°Search the ind and bring me every supercat you find.¡±

    The four cats sprung into action right away. They were equally eager to begin their mission, but there was an obvious disparity in terms of their speed and agility. While Sphynx Cat and Ares darted forward as quickly as a pair of lightning bolts, Matcha and Roly Poly could only run as quickly as normal house cats (which was not quick at all).

    Zhao Yao raised a hand. ¡°It¡¯s alright. Let those two run the circumference of the ind. You guys can focus on nabbing the cats nearby.¡±

    Matcha immediately leaped towards Cheese and started stomping on his face with his paws.

    ¡°You rascal! How dare you steal my cat? Do you know how influential I am now?¡± he taunted.

    To himself, Matcha thought, ¡°This dude sure is handsome and powerful. I¡¯ve got to imprint on him the idea that he can never, ever defeat me and must always live in my shadow. This way, he would never entertain the thought of opposing me in the future.¡±

    Cheese red up at Matcha, unblinking. It looked like he wasmitting to memory the stupid, fat cat whom was stepping all over his face with his filthy paws.

    Roly Poly was rounding up Kimchi and the remaining supercats. He kicked the ones that he passed, shouting, ¡°Get up. Stop pretending that you¡¯re dead. Gather round now.¡±

    He then rudely perched a hind leg on one of the cats¡¯ waist.

    ¡°What are you looking at?¡± he spat at Kimchi, whose eyes were burning with rage, ¡°Keep it up and I¡¯ll have you sterilized.

    Kimchi continued to stare back at him defiantly. It was awfully tempting to fight back, but he did not dare to in the presence of the man that defeated Cat Sage.

    In no time, Cheese, Kimchi, and the ring of cats that ruled the ind were brought before Zhao Yao. Sphynx Cat and Ares managed to wrangle the rest of them in batches soon after.

    While his cats diligently gathered all of the inhabitants here, Zhao Yao turned his attention to Xiao Yu. Fish Ball, Noodle, and Nekomata surrounded her. The two cats were rubbing lovingly against her calves. The husky was by her feet. He had rolled on his back, sticking out his tongue through a silly, open-mouthed grin.

    ¡°Oh, Xiao Yu! That husky is a monster!¡± Fish Ball cried out.

    He squeezed his eyes shut as tightly as he could, releasing a small amount of tears.

    ¡°He... He actually... He actually forced me to..,¡± he bawled, ¡°He is a savage.¡±

    He was too ovee with emotion to continue speaking. He sobbed loudly, punctuating each snivel with a convulsive gasp.

    Nekomata could not help but roll his eyes, ¡°How...subtle.¡±

    Regardless, he diligently typed all of Fish Ball¡¯s words into his smartphone, then passed it to Xiao Yu. After listening to Fish Ball¡¯s story using the text-to-speech function, she scooped him into her arms.

    ¡°What has he done to you?¡± she asked curiously.

    There was a glint of excitement in her eyes.

    ¡°He... He eats poo! As if that was not enough, he forced me to eat poo too!¡± Fish Ball wept.

    Noodle was quick to defend himself.

    ¡°How dare you use me of such falsehoods?! That was curry! Just curry!¡±

    Like before, Nekomata transcribed the exchange on his phone. This time, Xiao Yu dropped Fish Ball onto the ground after she listened to their conversation. She cast a dirty look at Fish Ball and Noodle, then ran to Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, let¡¯s trade cats! I¡¯ll give you Fish Ball and Noodle in exchange for one of your cats,¡± she proposed, beaming up at him adorably.

    She held onto his arm and swung it from left to right, trying to get his attention.

    Zhao Yao waspletely unmoved.

    ¡°No thanks,¡± he replied, ¡°I already have a few torchlights back home.¡±

    Xiao Yu narrowed her eyes at him.

    In the meantime, Noodle was ring at her. He was feeling so frustrated that he had taken to rolling around aimlessly on the ground.

    ¡°Who does that imp think he is, ndering me like that!¡± he thought angrily, ¡°Darn it! Where has all my power gone? What has changed? What am I missing?¡±

    With that, he started to recall the series of events that had brought him to this point.

    Behind him, Sphynx Cat and Ares could be seen darting in and out of view, bringing with them new cats with each appearance. They worked quickly. The dual effect of Sphynx Cat¡¯s strength and powers of perception was unbelievable. Theybed the ind in a matter of minutes, tracking down supercats that were hidden in every corner. Then, he would uproot whole houses from the ground and just lug them straight here.

    When all the inhabitants of the ind had been assembled, Zhao Yao turned to Cheese.

    ¡°You¡¯re the cat who took Rice Cake, aren¡¯t you?¡± he asked, stroking Cat Sage, whom was still struggling against his arms, ¡°You¡¯ve caused me quite a bit of trouble by doing that. How are you going topensate me?¡±

    Cheese and his friends were at a loss for words.

    Cat Sage, however, had a lot to say about this.

    ¡°Human, we will never yield! You may have control of our bodies for now, but you¡¯ll never win our allegiance!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s quite alright,¡± Zhao Yao chuckled, ¡°I¡¯m not interested in your allegiance. All I want is mypensation.¡±

    Cat Sage¡¯s eyes grew round as marbles.

    ¡°You understand me?¡± he asked in disbelief.

    Oh crap.

    He had only put on a tough act and spewed all that trash talk because he assumed the man would not understand a word.

    ¡°Well, of course I can. Why else would I be talking to you?¡± Zhao Yao responded casually.

    He casually steered the conversation back to the topic at hand, ¡°By stealing my cat, you¡¯ve disrupted my work and caused me great emotional and mental distress. You¡¯ll have topensate me for all of that, plus transportation, medical expenses, home remodeling costs, and 108 other items.¡±

    This time, even Cat Sage was stunned into silence.

    ¡°Will you let us go if we pay you back?¡± he asked.

    ¡°Of course,¡± Zhao Yao smiled, shing his pearly whites, ¡°I, Zhao Yao, am a man of my word. As long as youpensate me for all the damage you¡¯ve caused, you¡¯re free to go.¡±

    The supercats nced at each other. They could not conceal the look of pleasant surprise on their faces. They had assumed that they would be enved by this man forever.

    Roly Poly sighed as he watched the ring of cats fall into the same trap that he once had.

    ¡°I used to be as naive as they were. I thought that I¡¯ll be off the hook one day. But once you¡¯re on Zhao Yao¡¯s cklist, you¡¯re never going back,¡± he mused.

    Cat Sage spoke up first, ¡°So how much do we owe you?¡±

    Zhao Yao took a moment to think about it.

    ¡°Well, let¡¯s make it a billion RMB.¡±

    Cat Sage startled.

    ¡°One billion?! How can it be one billion?!¡±

    Zhao Yao waved a hand to sweep Rice Cake towards them with the deflective field.

    ¡°Look,¡± he said, motioning to the lifeless cat floating before them, ¡°Look at the terrible state she¡¯s in. It¡¯s all thanks to you.¡±

    ¡°But..,¡± Cat Sage began, eyeing the deste, little cat, ¡°We¡¯ve not done anything to her.¡±

    ¡°Yes, you have. This is emotional damage. You¡¯ve destroyed a young kitten¡¯s emotional well-being. She might never be the same again,¡± Zhao Yao exined, ¡°Rice Cake is like a daughter to me. You¡¯ve reduced my daughter to a lunatic. Do you know how much that has hurt her? Do you know how much pain you have caused me?¡±

    Matcha jumped in and added, ¡°Rice Cake is Zhao Yao¡¯s most beloved cat. You have no idea how much he suffered when she went missing. Every day, he would wake with tears streaming down his face. He could not eat, drink, or even pee...¡±

    Matcha knew that once Zhao Yao was done here, his head would be next on the chopping board. He had to find ways to lighten his punishment somehow.

    ¡°Yes, yes,¡± Zhao Yao said impatiently, brushing Matcha away, ¡°That¡¯s enough. I don¡¯t need you to share some sob story here.¡±

    ¡°So..,¡± Cat Sage muttered.

    ¡°So,¡± Zhao Yao continued, ¡°To be frank, you deserve to be minced into bits for what you¡¯ve done to Rice Cake. However, I can¡¯t bear to do that. You are Rice Cake¡¯s brother after all. Can you see the dilemma you¡¯ve put me in?¡±

    ¡°He is in so much pain!¡± Matcha chipped in, putting his paw on Zhao Yao¡¯s calf, ¡°It hurts him to see Rice Cake like this. You might as well have stabbed him in the heart. He wishes he could take her ce. He might not look like it, but he¡¯s on the verge of a mental breakdown.¡±

    Again, Zhao Yao nudged Matcha away his foot while speaking to him telepathically, ¡°Alright, that¡¯s enough. You¡¯re overdoing it. Geez.¡±

    Matcha batted his eyelids at him innocently.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, I was just trying to help,¡± he said fawningly.

    It worked. Cat Sage was beginning to feel uneasy and a tad guilty about the little cat¡¯s plight.

    ¡°But we really don¡¯t have so much money,¡± he said honestly.

    ¡°Well, we can¡¯t force you to give us money you don¡¯t have,¡± Zhao Yao said fairly, ¡°You¡¯ll have to give us this ind then.¡±

    Cat Sage was bbergasted.

    ¡°But... But this is our home! If we gave you the ind, where would we live?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s response was quick. ¡°I¡¯ll rent it to you. You poor things look strapped for cash, so I¡¯ll allow you to stay here for free temporarily.¡±

    Cat Sage did not respond. He was still trying to make sense of everything that was happening.

    Matcha called out to him, ¡°You should thank Zhao Yao for letting you stay here rent-free. Do you know how expensive rent is now? He¡¯s doing all of you a huge favor.¡±

    Deep in his gut, Cat Sage felt that something was amiss here. However, being able to live on someone else¡¯s property for free was a nice thing, no?

    Hesitantly, he said, ¡°Oh... Thank you.¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked the top of Cat Sage¡¯s head.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to thank me,¡± he said, ¡°I¡¯m doing this because you guys are down on your luck right now. However, you do know that you shouldn¡¯t stay on someone else¡¯s property forever, yes?¡±

    Cat Sage blinked up at him in surprise, ¡°Then what should we do?¡±

    ¡°Work for me. I¡¯ll give you wages. Save that up and you¡¯ll be able to buy the ind from me someday,¡± Zhao Yao responded.

    He scratched the bottom of the cat¡¯s chin. It felt nice, but Cat Sage wrenched his head from the man¡¯s fingers.

    He looked him in the eye, ¡°We can buy the ind back?¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded.

    ¡°Of course. I¡¯m not a vedriver. You will bepensated fairly for your work. I will take care of your food and lodging. You won¡¯t have to spend a cent that I pay you at the end of each month. I¡¯ll keep that money safe for you so you can umte the funds you need to buy the ind.¡±

    Matcha decided to interrupt the conversation at this point.

    ¡°Did you hear that? You guys have got it good! We do back-breaking work every day and all we might get at the end of it is a cafe. You are promised a friggin¡¯ ind!¡± he eximed in mock outrage.

    Cat Sage found himself lowering his head in embarrassment at his words.

    ¡°That doesn¡¯t seem too fair,¡± he murmured.

    ¡°You took the words right out of my mouth!¡± Matcha agreed, ¡°Zhao Yao, you¡¯re being too generous to them. We, your original supercats, are not happy about this at all!¡±

    While he spoke out defiantly in public, he was alsomunicating with Zhao Yao telepathically.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, how am I doing?¡± Matcha asked earnestly.

    ¡°Beautifully,¡± Zhao Yao responded.

    Then, he kept up with the act.

    ¡°Matcha, look at these poor cats here. They¡¯ve led a wretched life. They don¡¯t get to eat or sleep well like you do in these horrible, sun-beaten conditions. You are all cats. Don¡¯t you want to help them?¡±

    Zhao Yao put on his most righteous expression and turned his gaze back to Cat Sage.

    ¡°I¡¯m entrusting my cat ind to you,¡± he said seriously, ¡°Help me take good care of it. I hope that, one day, I can transform it into a supercat wondend. It will be home to the homeless and family to the kinless.¡±

    His words moved Cat Sage, whom was now looking up at him in awe.

    ¡°I understand,¡± the cat said solemnly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. We will keep this ind safe!¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded in delight.

    He nced at the mission panel to see that his mission to cat thieves pay had beenpleted. With that, he had bagged 2,000*2 experience points.

    ¡°Hehe. It¡¯s been a day well-spent. I guess that means that I now have...¡±

    When he looked at the panel again, the Book was at Level 6 (42,262 / 20,000).

    He was shaken out of his thoughts when the ground beneath his feet began to tremble.

    He had forgotten about poor, little Rice Cake.

    In an instant, he grabbed her and dumped her into the extradimensional belly.

    The moment she was back in the familiar space, the light in her eyes began to return.

    ¡°I feel it,¡± Rice Cake whispered, ¡°I feel the power of wifi.¡±

    Her limp and lifeless body was revitalized all of a sudden. She scrambled onto her paws and bounced towards the nearestputer in joy.

    Gaia was seated next to her. He smelt foul and greasy, as if he had not cleaned himself in weeks. She spotted open cans of half-eaten cat food scattered all over his desk. Gaia did not seem to notice her. His beady eyes were glued to the screen.

    ¡°What are you ying?¡± Rice Cake asked, peering at his screen as well.

    Gaia did not bother turning to her to respond, ¡°Dungeon Fighter Online.¡±

    ¡°Is it fun?¡±

    A pained expression shed past Gaia¡¯s face.

    ¡°My advice is that you should steer clear of it. All it takes is a few minutes and you¡¯ll never be able to stop. You¡¯ll be a goner like me. All the cats here think I¡¯m paralyzed. The truth is that I¡¯ve not moved in so long that I¡¯ve lost all the strength in my legs.¡±

    Back in the real world, Zhao Yao had onest quest to deal with.

    His eyesnded on Xiao Yu, who was still berating Fish Ball and Noodle.

    ¡°Xiao Yu,¡± he called out, ¡°Come here.¡±

    Sidequest: Help Xiao Yu find Noodle and Fish Ball!

    Objective: Help Xiao Yu find her beloved pets, apprehend the cat thieves, and make them apologize for what they had done, especially to Xiao Yu.

    Reward: 1,000 experience points

    Punishment: None

    ¡°Alright, everyone,¡± he shouted over the crowd of supercats that were gathered around him, ¡°You¡¯ve stolen her cat and dog from her and brought them to this ind. That was not a nice thing to do. You should apologize.¡±

    Cat Sage led the rest of the cats to prostrate before the little girl. They apologized sincerely in unison. Of course, all Xiao Yu could hear was a cacophony of meows.

    ¡°Good. Good. See, they¡¯ve said that they¡¯re sorry,¡± Zhao Yao motioned towards the cats, whom were lying face-first on the ground.

    He was chuffed hat he had just bagged another 1,000*2 experience points.

    Xiao Yu, however, was not satisfied.

    She quirked an eyebrow and said, ¡°That¡¯s it? An apology? They stole my cat and dog. Shouldn¡¯t theypensate me for my losses?¡±

    Xiao Yu could not understand thenguage of cats, so she had no idea that Zhao Yao had already struck up a deal with Cat Sage. She did not know that the poor cats had already been tricked into giving up the ind as payment.

    Sighing, Zhao Yao stuck a hand into his pocket and fished around for something. A long whileter, he managed to procure a crumpled two-dor note and handed it to Xiao Yu.

    The girl took the money, then threw it to the ground in a fit of rage.

    ¡°Two dors?! Who wants that? I can¡¯t even buy a crepe from the street vendor outside my school with two dors! Even primary school students are richer than you!¡± she screeched.

    ¡°Oh,e on,¡± Zhao Yao sighed again, ¡°Look at these cats. Look at the shabby grass huts they¡¯re living in. Do you think they have money secretly stashed away topensate you with? Even getting enough food and water is a challenge for them.¡±

    Xiao Yu pursed her lips as she eyed the cats gathered around her feet.

    She seemed to be mulling over something before finally speaking, ¡°Fine. I¡¯ll let them off the hook this time. What are we going to do about the ind? Do we allow them to continue living here? The government is going to confiscate this ce, isn¡¯t it?¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled.

    ¡°Well, I think it shouldn¡¯t be too difficult to stop that from happening.¡±

    With that, he whipped out his phone and dialed Inspector Ho¡¯s number. It only took a couple rings before it was picked up.

    ¡°Zhao Yao?¡± the inspector sounded pleasantly surprised, ¡°How¡¯s it going? Is everything settled?¡±

    ¡°Yep, it¡¯s done,¡± Zhao Yao responded, ¡°I¡¯ll send all the trespassers your wayter on. Among them are two Americans from Star Cats.¡±

    Inspector Ho¡¯s tone turned serious, ¡°There are apostles from Star Cats?¡±

    Zhao Yao did not bother affirming this. Instead, he jumped right in and said, ¡°One more thing, I want the ind.¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°Consider this a favor for an old friend. I want the ind and the supercats that inhabit it.¡±

    ¡°Wait a minute!¡± Inspector Ho cried, ¡°I don¡¯t own the bloody ind! I can¡¯t just give it to you...¡±

    Zhao Yao cut him off, ¡°I¡¯ll give you a superweapon. Anyone who puts it on will be able to use its power. As long as you ¡°loan¡± me this ind, the weapon will be yours. It¡¯s an abandoned ind anyway. It¡¯s a good deal.¡±

    ¡°Just wait, Zhao Yao. I can¡¯t just make this decision by myself. I need to call for a meeting...¡±

    Once again, the inspector was interrupted by Zhao Yao, whom had hung up unceremoniously. Inspector Ho rubbed the top of his bald head in frustration.

    ¡°God! He just doesn¡¯t give a s**t, does he?¡±

    An exasperated sigh left his lips when he received an iing message. His eyes lit up after he glossed through its contents.

    ¡°Huh? When did he create something like that? But wow...¡±

    The message described the superweapon that Zhao Yao would give him in exchange for the ind. It was called the Weapon of Illusion. It empowered its user to conjure visual and auditory illusions that affected all beings within a 100-meter radius.

    This was one of Zhao Yao¡¯s illusion seals. He could make three new ones each week, so he basically had an endless supply of them. He did not mind handing one to the authorities. The seal was not particrly precious to him, but it would be a treasure to them.

    Of course, he did not want to arm them with too much power either. This was why he designed the seal to only be able to deprive an opponent of two senses and not all five of them.

    Regardless, it was still immensely powerful. Used right, it could wipe out 99% of all supercats and apostles in an instant.

    The one inconvenience was that Zhao Yao had to charge it once a week.

 Chapter 489: Meteorite Intelligence

    <h4>Chapter 489: Meteorite Intelligence</h4>

    Zhao Yao hung up and turned to Xiao Yu.

    ¡°It¡¯s done,¡± he stated, ¡°From today, this ind is officially mine.¡±

    There was skepticism written all over her face when she looked at him.

    ¡°Oh really? The government gave you the ind just like that? Zhao Yao, are you trying to trick a child right now?¡±

    ¡°I honestly do not care if you believe me or not,¡± he said casually, ¡°Hey, you¡¯re not done with winter break homework, are you? School starts tomorrow. You have better things to do than gallivant out here. Go home and finish your assignments.¡±

    He cast a severe look at Xiao Yu, then pushed her, Fish Ball, Noodle, and Nekomata through the dimension doorway. This led them into the extradimensional belly, where they fell through another doorway and ended up in the cat cafe.

    ¡°No!¡± Xiao Yu cried.

    She had not want to return to the real world. She grabbed onto Zhao Yao¡¯s hand to catch his attention.

    ¡°It¡¯s exactly because school is starting tomorrow that I can¡¯t waste my remaining freedom on homework!¡± she whined, ¡°It¡¯s thest day of winter break! I want to stay out and y until the veryst minute! Noodle and Fish Ball will help me with my assignments! I don¡¯t have to go home!¡±

    Xiao Yu batted her eyshes at him as she continued, ¡°That was a beautiful ind! There¡¯s sun, sand, and the ocean! Just let me stay there a while more? And help me take some photos?¡±

    Seeing that Zhao Yao did not budge, she engaged in a more aggressive approach.

    ¡°I¡¯ll wear a nice swimsuit. I¡¯ll even invite a few friends. They¡¯re the prettiest girls at my school. Guys at your age idolize high school girls, no?¡±

    Zhao Yao let out a bark of exasperatedughter.

    ¡°Not interested,¡± he stated, throwing her a dirty look.

    ¡°It¡¯s up to you if you want to do your homework,¡± he continued, ¡°You can go y wherever you want except on my ind. I have big renovation ns for it. You¡¯re not allowed there.¡±

    With that, he took one step back and disappeared into the portal. Xiao Yu rushed forward, hoping to steal inside as well, but she fell through thin air instead. She red at the spot where Zhao Yao disappeared.

    Now that Xiao Yu was safely back in the city, Zhao Yao could focus his attention on William.

    At this point, Old Cat had sessfully brainwashed William and convinced him to divulge every bit of intelligence he had about the meteorite. Zhao Yao did not ask the cat to reiterate everything that he had heard. That was a risky move. As long as Old Cat had a chance to talk, he had a chance to attack. Instead, Zhao Yao chose to hear straight from the horse¡¯s mouth and made William repeat everything he had shared.

    William said that the meteorite that crashed onto Earth was the cause of the supercat awakening. It had crossed the globe before finallynding in Maine, USA. However, that did not mean that the whole meteorite could be found there. It had gradually broken into pieces as it journeyed through the atmosphere, scattering meteorite fragments around the world. The thing that ended up in Maine was thergest of these fragments.

    The theory William subscribed to was that the fragments could intensify a supercat¡¯s abilities. This was why the ones in Maine were particrly powerful. The radiation from the fragment bounced onto them, strengthening them day by day and pushing them to evolve into unexpected, new levels. It had reached a point where supercats had entered the public service. Some of them had sessfully climbed up thedder and had fought for equal speaking and voting rights as their human counterparts.

    With this new arrangement came the genesis of Star Cats. It was an organization in which the American government and free supercats worked together to manage global catastrophes and to conduct research on the meteorite.

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes as he took in all this information.

    ¡°How far have youe in terms of meteorite and supercat research?¡± he asked.

    William shrugged, ¡°I¡¯m just a nobody. I don¡¯t know much.¡±

    ¡°Tell me whatever you know.¡±

    ¡°Well, there are a few trump cards, or rather, trump cats, in my organization,¡± William began, ¡°The government uses the fragment to strengthen them. They grow and evolve continuously. Even though there are apostles who borrow their abilities, no one really knows the true depths of their powers.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded impatiently. It was expected that they would use the fragment to bolster their best cats.

    ¡°What else?¡± he prompted.

    A deep groove settled between William¡¯s eyebrows as he racked his brain for more details.

    ¡°I¡¯ve heard some stories. There was talk that they hoped to breed supercats, clone them, and somehow replicate the power of the fragment to elerate the evolution of the cats. I¡¯m not sure if there¡¯s any truth to them.¡±

    Zhao Yao continued to probe him, but it quickly became clear that William did not know much more.

    He ended the interrogation with one final question, ¡°Is there anything else you would like to add? You do have a partner here on the ind. If what you tell me does not match what he says, there will be trouble.¡±

    William hesitated for a moment before speaking, ¡°I¡¯m not lying to you. Everything I¡¯ve told you is true. We¡¯re just low-level officers. We don¡¯t know much.¡±

    After an intense brainwashing session with Old Cat, it was close to impossible for him to lie. However, Zhao Yao¡¯s threat did seem to remind him of something he missed out. There was another crinkle between his brows when he added, ¡°Oh, there is one more thing I¡¯ve heard. It¡¯s quite far-fetched, so I doubt it¡¯s anything more than a rumor.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Zhao Yao was curious and itching to know more, ¡°What rumor? Pray tell.¡±

    There was another pause before William continued, ¡°A colleague told me that there was an, erm, incident in the research facility. An alien escaped.¡±

    ¡°Huh? An alien?¡±

    Willian nodded earnestly, ¡°Yes. I heard that the government managed to extract an alien from the big fragment thatnded in Maine, but I think it is absolutely ridiculous. There have been so many stories about aliens in Area 51 for decades too, no?¡±

    Zhao Yao shrugged. ¡°Perhaps.¡±

    In the next moment, William had been robbed of all five senses and had fallen to the ground, unconscious.

    Zhao Yao called for Diana and Caesar, whom appeared quickly.

    ¡°Erase his memories from the past 24 hours,¡± he ordered.

    After that, he got Old Cat to brainwash William¡¯s colleague, whom became honest andpliant, but did not offer any new information. The man had his memory erased as well.

    ¡°As I suspected, America has been actively regting and developing superpowers too. I hope we aren¡¯t too far behind?¡± Zhao Yao mused, scratching the bottom of his chin.

    The things he heard were a little unsettling.

    He was fairly confident that he was one of the strongest apostles in the world. However, there was no way that he could take down an entire country, much less one that had thetest military technology and a substantial number of meteorite fragments.

    The dimension doorways were the ultimate defence and served as the perfect escape, but they were not indestructible.

    ¡°If I want to get my hands on all the fragments, I might have to fight the American government. I really need more horsepower for that.¡±

    He was not ready, but that was okay. Collecting the fragments was no simple task. It would take time and preparation. For now, Zhao Yao would focus on tying up all loose ends on the ind and eventually transform it into his personal, portable basecamp with the help of a dimension doorway.

    One of those final loose strings included freeing the two Americans and the rest of the stranded individuals from the ind. This rescue mission earned him 520 * 2 experience points.

    With that, the mission panel became:

    Book: Level 6 (45,302 / 10,000)

    Matcha: Level 7 (4,700 / 20,000)

    Elizabeth: Level 6 (4,200 / 10,000)

    Dust Ball: Level 8 (6,355 / 50,000)

    Ares: Level 6 (5,400 / 10,000)

    Lucifer: Level 6 (2,900 / 10,000)

    Sphynx Cat: Level 6 (300 / 10,000)

    ¡°Oh right, there¡¯ll be the end-of-month tally tonight. There¡¯s going to be an influx of experience points. Looks like I can level up a few cats at once.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head smugly. Right now, he was feeling fairly confident about his uing mission to fight Star Cats so that he can collect all the meteorite fragments.

 Chapter 490: The Six Departments

    <h4>Chapter 490: The Six Departments</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    The reorganization of the ind finally began after dispatching the annoying humans. The first task on Zhao Yao¡¯s agenda was to gather every single cat from both the ind and his extradimensional belly.

    Currently, the cats assembled here could be divided into threerge groups. Firstly, there were the aboriginals, led by Cat Sage.

    Next, there were Matcha, Roly Poly, Elizabeth, Ares and the rest. They were the pioneering batch of supercats under Zhao Yao¡¯s charge.

    Finally, thest groupprised of cats Zhao Yao had rescued from the evil clutches of Mao Gang.

    The number of cats was mind-blowing. There were at least 160 cats under Zhao Yao¡¯s care. Currently, they had all congregated on this ind for an important meeting. However, it was utter chaos. Some of them were rolling around while others were chasing one another across the ind. Some even huddled together as they licked each other¡¯s fur. It was like a giant market. You couldn¡¯t even hear your own thoughts from all that noise.

    Previously, Cat Sage had divided the ind into 5 separate departments: ntation department, furball department, fishing department, hunting department and waste removal department. Zhao Yao was rather impressed by the management system. Hence, he decided to tweak it before calling it his own by introducing his own cats as the department heads.

    ¡°Matcha, please take a step forward.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s head cocked towards that meaty cat and pondered, ¡°Even though he¡¯s somewhat responsible for this entire saga, Cheese was the one responsible for all the damages back home. Those who stole my cats came from this ind. Hence, Matcha¡¯s not totally at fault.¡±

    Matcha sauntered forward with an air of superiority surrounding him. Zhao Yao continued, ¡°From now on, you are responsible for the royal cat guards. You have the power to handpick and form your elite force to monitor the masses. Report straight to me if you face any problems.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, don¡¯t tell me Zhao Yao actually forgot about what I had done? I mean it¡¯s only normal for him to overlook that when all I did was just malingering. How can such an insignificant matterpromise his love and affection for me?¡±

    Matcha¡¯s body began to quiver as he had trouble suppressing hisughter, ¡°Meowhaha, I knew it! I¡¯m truly Zhao Yao¡¯s favorite cat! Once I have my royal cat guards behind me, I¡¯ll torture Roly Poly to the brink of death!¡±

    However, Zhao Yao tilted his head and ryed his next instruction in Roly Poly¡¯s direction, ¡°Roly Poly, you will be in charge of the royal cat police force. You too can pick any cats from the ind. From now on, you shall monitor all inhabitants on the ind, including Matcha and his royal cat guards. Report to me if you detect any anomalous behavior.¡±

    Matcha could not believe his ears, ¡°What? Roly Poly, that fellow ...¡±He turned his head around and noticed Roly Poly staring straight at him. Their line of sight collided with each other as invisible fireworks erupted in the air.

    Zhao Yao gave an approving nod of his head and thought, ¡°This is a cat for a cat. Even though both of them hadmitted serious felonies, they are still good cats at the end of the day. Also, their past mistakes had made them extra cautious since their previous punishments. Now, both of them will have their eyes peeled for each other¡¯s action, ensuring no one oversteps their boundary. In this case, a cat coup can definitely be prevented.¡±

    He then directed his attention towards Elizabeth, ¡°Elizabeth, you are responsible for the cat caf¨¦. Simply put, your job is to improve our sales figure.¡±

    Cat caf¨¦ was the perfect source of experience points in the long run. Naturally, Zhao Yao had no intentions to give it up. He intended to erect the extradimensional gates in the caf¨¦, apartment, and the ind, saving transportation time.

    Elizabeth slid the remaining cats a condescending re before mumbling, ¡°This bunch of good-for-nothings. No wonder Zhao Yao has to depend on me to ensure the survival of the caf¨¦.¡±

    The remaining female cats responded to that obnoxious im by shooting a death re straight at Elizbeth. It was as if they were trying to kill her with their stares.

    However, the male cats responded totally differently to Elizabeth. Some had saliva dripping down their lips while others stood with their tails erected. Some were even grinding their bodies against the ground.

    Cat Sage was one of the horny cats with his tail erected. His eyes were fixed on Elizabeth as he thought, ¡°Interesting, you have sessfully attracted my attention.¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed along to Elizabeth¡¯s words, ¡°Be a good girl, Elizabeth. In a caf¨¦, there¡¯s bound to be the ugly and the beautiful. We need all sorts of cats for the caf¨¦ to prosper.¡± He noticed the mes of determination burning brightly in their eyes and continued to nod his head approvingly.

    Next, he nced at Dust Ball and announced, ¡°Dust Ball, you are in charge of the ntation department. You can nt whatever you want on any part of the ind and the demarcated area inside the belly.¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡± Dust Ball screamed as excitement raced through her.

    Finally, Zhao Yao raised the cat, Cat Sage, cradled in his arms and dered, ¡°Sage, I need you to continue your leadership in maintaining the security. You can pick any cats you have in mind. Basically, just ensure that this ind is safe. By the way, who is the one who created that fog?¡±

    Kimchi jumped to his feet and answered, ¡°Me! I¡¯m the one who did it! I can control the weather!¡±

    ¡°Good, I want you to maintain it. However, you can reduce the scale of it. I just don¡¯t want the outside world to see what is going on in our ind.¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and continued, ¡°Ares, Sphynx Cat, both of you are in charge of the cat warriors department. One of you must be inside cat nation at any time, in order to support my battles beyond ournd.¡±

    ¡°Oh yes, I almost forgot about them.¡± Zhao Yao stretched open his mouth as Matsuo and Faceless slid out of it. He then transported Baiquan from the caf¨¦ over to the ind.

    Baiquan was shocked to see the sheer number of cats scattered across, ¡°Boss, where did you get all these cats from? Are you really thinking of creating a stray cat relief center?¡±

    Zhao Yao waved his arm and responded, ¡°These are no ordinary cats. All of them are supercats. From today onwards, you are the leader of the logistics department. Matsuo and Faceless over here shall assist you. The three of you are responsible for what they eat, drink, shit and piss.¡±

    Nodding his head, Zhao Yao remarked, ¡°Royal cat guards, royal cat police force, cat caf¨¦, ntation department, security force, cat warriors. I guess these six departments shall suffice temporarily. You can begin by selecting your members. Of course, all cats are given the option to remain unaffiliated. However, you won¡¯t receive a monthly wage if you choose to do so.¡±

    Immediately, the leaders scrambled to assemble their A team. Zhao Yao brought the logistics department out to source for logistics required. They still had to construct cottages, electric grids and provide stable inte coverage for their inhabitants.

    Old Cat dashed towards Matcha¡¯s side as both of them slid each other a sly smile.

    Seeing the cats gravitating towards their side, Old Cat whipped out his phone and initialized the voice function. His two words restriction was still in y. Hence, he only dared to exceed it when chatting with Matcha.

    ¡°All of you, get in lines. If you wanna be a part of the elite royal cat guards, join us.¡±

    The first cat in line was an orange cat, Airne, who had followed them since the days of Jiangmen University

    Airne greeted Matcha with a wide smile and eximed, ¡°Good morning, sir!¡±

    Matcha nodded his head smugly and asked, ¡°Why do you want to join us?¡±

    ¡°For honor and glory!¡± Airne responded with no hesitation, ¡°The strongest, coolest cat amongst all six departments is none other than you, Sir George! I will only follow the strongest and coolest!¡±

    These stupid words were music to Matcha¡¯s ears as he replied, ¡°Great eyes, you have! You¡¯re selected! Next!¡±

    ¡°What do you specialize in?¡±

    ¡°Sir George, I have attained the Master rank in Mobile Legends!¡±

    ¡°You are selected.¡±

    The recruitment process for the royal cat guards went without a hitch. However, Zhao Yao selected purely based on personal preference. Hence, most of them were simply shameless and useless individuals. They were either sycophants or experts in Mobile Legends.

    Meanwhile, Roly Poly¡¯s selection was far more stringent.

    With their details reflected on his phone¡¯s screen, Roly Poly read, ¡°Let me see, Caesar, ragdoll, three years old, graduated from XXX ragdoll cattery, a pedigree. Hmph, tell me about your family background.¡±

    Caesar answered, ¡°I have a wife and two daughters.¡±

    Nodding his head, Roly Poly enquired, ¡°What are your interests and hobbies?¡±

    ¡°I love to watch movies. I have basically watched every single Oscar-winning movie.¡±

    A line etched between Roly Poly¡¯s brows as he typed on his phone, ¡°Toozy for his own good.¡± He continued, ¡°Why did you suddenly decide to leave your previous job and join us the royal cat police force?¡±

    ¡°My previous working conditions were horrible! My boss was a crazy woman! I almost lost my life because of her. Thankfully for Master Zhao Yao, I managed to live on and recently transferred over to this ind.¡±

    Roly Poly sighed, ¡°That¡¯s all, we have a good understanding of your situation. You will be notified if you¡¯re recruited.¡±

    Caesar craned his neck and asked, ¡°Roly Poly, I¡¯m recruited, right? Do you remember that we took an oath to be ... sworn brothers?¡±

    Roly Poly pinned him down with a vicious re, ¡°Do not resort to such unscrupulous means. I, Roly Poly, absolutely abhor those who use such methods. I do notpromise on fairness and equality. You have found the wrong guy.¡±

    Roly Poly called for the next cat after dispatching the despondent Caesar.

    Meanwhile, the captain of the ntation department, Dust Ball, had disappeared into the woods. She had purposely avoided everyone as she leaped onto a branch, with her eyes set on the vast ins.

    ¡°Hmph, no one will take away the catmint from me! Everything belongs to me! No one else!¡±

 Chapter 491: Architecture

    <h4>Chapter 491: Architecture</h4>

    A warm fuzzy feeling spread through Dust Ball as sheyfortably atop a branch while her eyes gradually drawn shut. Momentster, her ears gave a slight shudder as she heard some noise from a distant.

    ¡°Hmph, no one shall take a pinch of catmint away from me!¡±

    Immediately, Dust Ball¡¯s tiny frame vanished into a vortex as she swallowed herself into her extradimensional belly.

    Meanwhile, Cat Sage had already gathered his men and led them to their respective positions, assuming their security outposts.

    As for Ares and Sphynx Cat, their first job was naturally to recruit their buddies.

    Ares¡¯s eyes swept across the remaining supercats before he ordered with a curl of his lips, ¡°The five scumbags over here. We are moving out now. Let¡¯s go.¡±

    Ares andpany had long regarded the extradimensional belly as their home. Hence, it was only natural for them to develop a certain animosity towards this foreignnd.

    Meanwhile, Elizabeth stood rooted to the ground. She noticed all those nces thrown at her by the surrounding supercats. Immediately, her lips curled into a wide smile, ¡°A cat of my beauty can attract the attention of every single cat without me even trying. I guess the cat caf¨¦ shall continue to survive even if I¡¯m the only one there.¡±

    Suddenly, she stretched her mouth open and poked her tiny pink tongue out. She just wanted to lick the fur on her legs.

    ¡°This disgusting ind. They don¡¯t even have a proper pavement for me. This ce is filled with sand and dirt! Look at this, my feet are all dirty because of it.¡±

    Before Elizabeth even craned her neck forward, the surrounding male cats had already gathered around her.

    ¡°Let me help you!¡±

    ¡°Do you need me to lick your fur?¡±

    ¡°Move aside! I am the most talented cat in terms of fur licking! Let me through!¡±

    ¡°Is this ce too dirty for your pristine feet? Come, step on my back instead!¡±

    Elizabeth froze for a split second as she observed the troves of lustful cats. Finally, she swept her head sidewards and retorted, ¡°Stop bugging me.¡± With that, she continued to groom herself.

    ¡°So beautiful!¡± Groans and moans erupted amongst the male cats as they scrambled off in all directions. Some of them were hiding behind the tall grass, branches or even the heaps of soil as they secretly observed Elizabeth from the shadows.

    Obviously, Elizabeth noticed their creepy behavior and responded with a scowl, ¡°What a bunch of childish cats.¡± At this moment, two other beautiful ragdolls approached Elizabeth.

    Catherine asked, ¡°Elizabeth, I heard you had made quite some money over at the cat caf¨¦?¡±

    Diana chimed in, ¡°Even though it¡¯s abor-intensive job but the money is definitely lucrative.¡±

    Elizabeth slid her family a condescending re and noticed the excitement glimmering in their eyes, ¡°You guys do know that I¡¯m exchanging my youth and energy for money. Hence, I suggest that you give up on the idea. You guys are not cut out for it.¡±

    Diana intercepted Elizabeth¡¯s words, ¡°I¡¯m not afraid of a little hardship! I want to earn money! I wanna recharge my credits in Love and Producer!¡±

    Immediately, her absurd words were met with Elizabeth¡¯s p across her face, ¡°Who told you to ever spend a dime on a game?¡±

    With her brows tightly knitted together, Elizabeth reprimanded, ¡°The cat caf¨¦ is a cruel world. You guys cannot even begin to imagine its brutality. Every day, tens of cats will go around acting all flirtatious with the customers,peting with one another.

    On the surface, it might seem as if we are part of a big family. However, they will secretly stter shit on your beautiful fur, shave your luscious fur, all in the name of stealing your customer.

    Step by step, I finally ascended to the pinnacle of the cat caf¨¦. However, it was not easy at all. What kind of treacherous methods have I not met already? You can never imagine the true magnitude of the viciousness capable by a cat until you set foot here.¡±

    A tinge of hesitation shed across Catherine¡¯s eyes. However, Diana jumped to her feet and responded, ¡°I¡¯m not afraid! With my sister ay my side, I am confident of reigning supreme in the caf¨¦!¡±

    Elizabeth was pleasantly surprised to see her determination. She nodded her head and pondered, ¡°Indeed, it has been a long time since we¡¯vest weed a new cat to the caf¨¦. It¡¯s always nice to have some new blood.¡±

    With that thought still lingering in her head, another idea suddenly sprang along, ¡°Recently, Zhao Yao has not hugged and yed with me as often. However, with my mum and sister around, I might be able tomand a more favorable position in his heart.¡±

    All those horny cats staring secretly at the family of ragdolls began to exim with excitement.

    ¡°This is stunning!¡±

    ¡°These three beautiful cats ...¡±

    ¡°They are adorable!¡±

    Elizabeth¡¯s eyes swept across the peeping toms as she ordered, ¡°Alright if you¡¯re interested in joining me,e out now.¡±

    Bam! One by one, all the lustful cats sprang from their hiding spots and surrounded the beautiful family in an instant.

    Currently, the initial framework for the six departments had been finalized with Matcha, Elizabeth and Roly Poly¡¯s catsmanding the greatest number.

    The cat warriors and the security forces were made up of a select few outstanding fighters. Meanwhile, the ntation department onlyprised Dust Ball.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao had led his logistics team to reorganize the ind. This was done in conjunction with the bulk purchase of cat food, cat litter, cat toilet and even the inte wire, electrical wires, and generators. This was to ensure the ind¡¯s seamless internal connects with the extradimensional gates acting as gateways.

    However, Zhao Yao was barely 10% done after spending the entire day toiling under the hot sun. However, he did manage to tidy his apartment and temporarily relocate the furniture to the ind.

    Because of Cheese¡¯s absolute destruction of the apartment, it was in dire need of aplete makeover and renovation. The ind was simply a temporary storage unit before the house was ready for them to return.

    ¡°Currently, I have one door on the ind, one in the caf¨¦ and one resting at home. If it¡¯s not too urgent, I guess I shall just refrain from using it during my battles.¡±

    The sofa was purposely perched on the highest point of the ind. It provided the perfect spot for Zhao Yao to lie down and simply immerse himself in the starry sky.

    ¡°This is just like how the television had advertised it to be! The stars in the wilderness are truly brighter than your normal ones.¡±

    He was totally captivated by the sheer beauty of nature. Then, his eyes darted towards his mission panel as he awaited the dawn of the new month.

    ¡°Even though I can¡¯t use the extradimensional gates as freely as I want, I¡¯ve managed to gather quite a lot of experience points the past weeks. Also, the cats have been eating the legendary cat food, worth 100 experience points, on a daily basis. Coupled with tonight¡¯s monthly mission, I should be able to simultaneously upgrade a few cats. I might even be able to maintain my exceptional fighting skills even without the gate.¡±

    Finally, the clock struck 12 and it was time to calcte the profits for the month.

    After deducing the misceneous fees, tidbits, toiletries, the profit totaled to RMB 995,495. This was equivalent to 1900 experience points which could be redeemed with a click as the new month¡¯s mission kick-started.

    With a wide grin stretched across his face, Zhao Yao tapped on the ¡®X2 Exp Card¡¯ and instantaneously earned 1900*2 experience points.

    Once again, the mission panel reflected the changes in the experience point¡¯s column.

    BOOK: lv6 (49102/20000)

    Matcha: lv7 (4700/20000)

    Elizabeth: lv6 (4200/10000)

    Dust Ball: lv8 (6355/50000)

    Ares: lv6 (5400/10000)

    Lucifer: lv6 (2900/10000)

    Sphynx Cat: lv6 (300/10000)

    Zhao Yao pondered as he analyzed the avable experience points, ¡°I guess I shall just put the BOOK¡¯s upgrade on hold temporarily, buying more time for Sphynx Cat to train. In that case, I¡¯ll have 29102 experience points! Yes! So many experience points!¡±

    This was the first time Zhao Yao had umted such a massive amount of experience points. Just the sight of it was enough to send a warm fuzzy feeling running through him.

    A delighted smile tugged at his lips, ¡°In that case, which cat should I upgrade first?¡±

    There were six supercats registered on his BOOK currently. All of them were carefully handpicked by Zhao Yao, each a talent in their very own field. He could no go wrong with any of them.

 Chapter 492: More Points!

    <h4>Chapter 492: More Points!</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    With his mind processing the information at warp speed, Zhao Yaomented, ¡°Firstly, I can eliminate Dust Ball and Lucifer. Dust Ball¡¯s upgrade at level 8 simply requires too much experience and I can¡¯t meet it. Conversely, Lucifer¡¯s super-regeneration skill has proved to be extremely effective and there¡¯s no need for further upgrades.¡±

    ¡°As for the remaining cats ... there are still lots of potential for Matcha in terms of his time-distortion, time-freeze skills. Meanwhile, Ares¡¯s power is also in an urgent need for an upgrade. I believe the ability branches will grant him an increase in attack range which woulde in handy.¡±

    Zhao Yao had already made his decision as he pumped the remaining points on both Ares and Matcha.

    Even after upgrading both Matcha and Ares, Zhao Yao still had more than 29,000 worth of experience points to spare. Hence, he decided to allocate the remaining ones on Elizabeth.

    Instantaneously, Matcha, Elizabeth, and Ares were all upgraded.

    Matcha: lv8 (0/50000)

    Elizabeth: lv7 (0/20000)

    Ares: lv7 (0/20000)

    ¡°Haha, Matcha is finally level 8! Let¡¯s see what cool skills lie in wait for us.¡± Zhao Yao had always been rather optimistic with regards to Matcha¡¯s potential. As usual, he waited with an air of expectancy. After all, his power was rooted in the foundation of time. Ultimately, Matcha had never disappointed Zhao Yao with all the upgrades.

    By tapping on Matcha¡¯s profile, two new ability branches appeared beneath his name.

    The first was the upgrade to Time Distortion, reducing its cooldown time from 6 hours to 3 hours.

    The second one was a peculiar power called the Longevity of Time. When time freeze was activated, the user¡¯s body would be in a state of ¡®solidification¡¯ such that his lifespan will not be depleted.

    Zhao Yao let out a disappointing sigh as he nced through the contents, ¡°Indeed, during the period of time freeze, both Matcha and my lifespan is depleted for every second spent in it. Hence, we should always refrain from using it whenever possible. However, my current ability is only capped at 12 seconds. Hence, I don¡¯t have to worry about the problems of longevity as of now.¡±

    Hence, Zhao Yao resolutely tapped on the upgrade of Time Distortion, reducing the cooldown from six hours to three, rendering it far more effective.

    With Matcha reaching level 8, his passive skill of Time eleration had received another boost. Now, his eleration during time freeze had increased from a factor of seven to eight. This meant that he had a total of 12* 8 = 96 seconds to spare during a time freeze window.

    This was a significant upgrade to Matcha¡¯s ability. Brimming with anticipation, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes darted towards Ares¡¯s profile.

    Over the past few months, Zhao Yao had witnessed all sorts of strange powers popping up all over the ce. In return, it had somehow depleted Ares¡¯s original dominance in the field. Hence, Zhao Yao was excited to see whaty installed for this upgrade.

    As usual, two ability branches appeared for Ares¡¯s level seven upgrade.

    The power of rainbow: The color of the deflective field could turn into any color avable on the color spectrum. Strength was temporary; attractiveness was permanent.

    Field Strength: Double the current strength of the defective field

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°The power of the stupid rainbow? What the hell? Which r*tard would actually pick that ability over Field Strength?¡± With his brows knitted together, Zhao Yao mmed his finger against thetter option.

    With that, deflective field had doubled in strength. Its original capacity to withstand a weight of up to 100 tons had easily doubled to 200 tons.

    Furthermore, his passive skill had also kicked in. The range of his usual deflective field had increased from 6 * 5 to 7 * 5, which equated to an effective distance of 35 meters. Zhao Yao dared not imagine its strength when ¡®Power Up Card¡¯ was activated.

    Zhao Yao was pleased with Ares¡¯s boost in strength and nodded his head with delight. Finally, his eyes rested on the final cat, Elizabeth.

    The first ability branch avable was the Sixth Sense. Currently, Elizabeth¡¯s power had already epassed all five ordinary senses. This power granted her the ability to control the sixth.

    The other option was far simpler: increase the effective range of the illusion.

    A hint of uncertainty shed across his eyes as Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes skimmed through the description of the sixth sense.

    Both Matcha and Ares¡¯s ability upgrades were far easier toprehend. The former¡¯s cooldown halved while thetter¡¯s power doubled. Comparatively, Elizabeth¡¯s ability was far hard to fathom, even after much thought.

    In reality, the global scientific research focused on the sixth sense could only be described as elementary at best. The prospect of controlling it was beyond the minds of any humans, even amongst the brightest.

    This made Zhao Yao extremely concerned.

    Despite the uncertainty revolving around the matter, there was something which Zhao Yao had learned about the power of illusion.

    ¡°At first, there was only the sense of sight and hearing. Then, I managed to upgrade Elizabeth¡¯s ability to all five senses. I thought that was the maximum that it could ever go. Now, I even have the opportunity to control the sixth?¡± Zhao Yao concluded, ¡°Does this mean that a seventh, eighth, ninth sense is possible? Will she be Saint Seiya 1 ?¡±

    Naturally, Zhao Yao knew that no such thing actually existed on our Earth. There was no way Elizabeth could turn into a Saint Seiya even with her sixth or seventh sense unlocked. However, this did not dampen his spirits in any sense. Instead, he was excited beyond words.

    Zhao Yao immediately tapped his finger against the option, Sixth Sense, as the power activated on his own body.

    Zhao Yao struggled to open his eyes against his leaden eyelids. Everything was a blur. This haziness finally dissipated after quite some time, allowing his eyes to regain its original rity.

    ¡°This sixth sense ...¡± Zhao Yao pondered with a frownpressing his face, ¡°This is fuzzier than I had expected. This is soplicated.¡±

    Zhao Yao could feel its effect and yet could not pinpoint its power. It had something to do with instincts, hostility and even feelings. However, he just couldn¡¯t put his finger to it.

    ¡°Oh my god, both Matcha¡¯s and Ares¡¯s powers are so much simpler aspared to Elizabeth¡¯s. I guess I need to spend some time investigating and learning about her power.¡±

    Hence, after rying the information about their upgrades to the respective cats, Zhao Yao retreated to his bed for a well-deserved rest.

    The subsequent days zoomed past him in the blink of an eye. Soon, it had already been two weeks. Zhao Yao spent the majority of his time experimenting with Elizabeth¡¯s new found power and purchasing materials to reorganize the ind.

    Considering the safety of everyone living near him, Zhao Yao decided to buy the entire building which he resided in, every unit on all 18 floors.

    After all, Zhao Yao was already an affluent man. He had earned USD 3,500,000 from that American and another USD 200,000,000 from Mao Gang. He had more than enough for the entire building.

    Secondly, he had the help of the government on his side. With Inspector Ho looking out for him, he simply had to inform him about the purchase and they would disregard the quota imposed on the number of houses purchased.

    Hence, all 18 floors now belonged to Zhao Yao. Currently, he had no ns for these first few floors. However, he had contacted an interior designer tobine the 16, 17 and 18 floors, turning it into a luxurious penthouse.

    Currently, Zhao Yao was bringing the designer around the apartments on the 18th floor as he exined, ¡°Do not be affected by the notion of money. I want this to be posh,vish, and opulent! I want people to know that I¡¯m rich from every single angle of this ce!¡±

    The designer nodded his head and replied, ¡°I understand your concerns, do not worry.¡± After all, this designer was no stranger to such luxurious designs. However, it was his first time hearing such an oundish request.

    Immediately, Zhao Yao emptied a sack worth of cash against the ground to disy his sincerity. Zhao Yao had instructed the designer to reject all current projects and focused all his attention on his apartment instead.

 Chapter 493: Two Weeks

    <h4>Chapter 493: Two Weeks</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    The designer followed closely behind Zhao Yao when he suddenly raised a question with a wide smile stretched across his face, ¡°Why don¡¯t you just buy a new house instead? I know of a few wonderful mansions. The interior design is superb! The same goes for the exterior. Everything is perfect for a man of your stature!¡±

    The designer¡¯s enthusiasm was met with Zhao Yao¡¯s rejection, ¡°I¡¯m too used to this ce. Also, I¡¯mzy to move.¡± Unknowingly, he had already spent more than a year here. Furthermore, it was Zhao Yao¡¯s childhood dream to own an entire building to himself, with each floor devoted for a unique function. He had somehow aplished this fortuitously.

    The designer sprang to work, ording to Zhao Yao¡¯s every instruction. Zhao Yao had nned to wash his hands off the project once the n was finalized. After all, if he dared to try anything funny, Zhao Yao would ensure that that was thest thing he ever did.

    A few secondster, Zhao Yao had teleported from his apartment to the extradimensional belly and finally the caf¨¦, in a matter of three steps.

    Back at his workstation, Zhao Yao mmed his palm against the back of his head and pondered, ¡°Hmph, did I forget about something?¡± His eyes darted across the cats, running around the caf¨¦, and thought, ¡°Why do I feel like there¡¯s some cat missing?¡±

    However, he just could not wrap his head around it and decided to just focus on the work instead.

    Currently, cat ind was teeming with life.

    For the past two weeks, Zhao Yao and Baiquan had painstakingly transported items to the ind. For fear of trespassers learning about this ce, they had to assemble everything with their own hands. Thanks to their superpower and the help of Matsuo and Faceless, the ind began to take shape.

    With the electrical cables extending from the caf¨¦ and the power supply provided by Inspector Ho in the form of generators, the entire ind had been covered with industrial grade wifi.

    The rows of cottages lining the vast fields were hand built by Zhao Yao. Inside were all sorts of cat beds, cat toys and any cat-rted objects you could imagine.

    Inside the belly, half of the space was dedicated to Dust Ball¡¯s catmint ntation. Without having to amodate the supercats, the remaining space was now reserved for theputers. Zhao Yao had just ordered 200puters to supplement the original 10puters.

    After all, Zhao Yao had purposefully erected the gate as a portal on the ind. Hence, the cats were free to travel between the ind and the belly. In Zhao Yao¡¯s mastern, the ind would be where they slept, yed and worked. Conversely, the belly would be the inte caf¨¦, primed for entertainment purpose.

    With Baiquan helming the logistics team, Matsuo and Faceless had assisted him in cleaning the ind and preparing meals for the cats.

    Currently, Matcha had gathered his royal cat guards inside the extradimensional belly.

    Set in the center of the circle was 10 supercats, with their eyes glued to the phone screen. They werepletely engrossed in their game of Mobile Legends.

    Matcha was using his Luban character to lead a charge in the bottomne only to be harassed by an opponent¡¯s character. Immediately, his lips began to curl with disdain.

    Quickly, Airne, the pioneer batch of guards amongst the Royal Cat Guards, noticed Matcha¡¯s change of expression and started to scream in his head, ¡°Who is that stupid one controlling the character?¡±

    Timidly, a white cat raised his paws and spoke in his trembling voice, ¡°Me.¡±

    Airne continued screaming at him telepathically, ¡°Who told you to interfere with Sir George¡¯s pushing? Retreat. No, do it discreetly. Act as if you¡¯re wounded by his attack and has no choice but to retreat to your tower. Put some effort into your acting! Understand?¡±

    Hence, the opponent character started to falter as he hid behind the defense of the tower, allowing Matcha to push further down thene.

    A contented smile tugged at the corner of Matcha¡¯s lips. He nodded his head andmented, ¡°This yer¡¯s skill is not bad. However, he is too impatient. A young cat should learn to practice prudence.¡±

    Airne sprang on the opportunity to tter Matcha by saying, ¡°This is all possible because of your superb skills. No ordinary yer can actually y Luban to such a proficient level.¡±

    Suddenly, another hostile force lurking within the forest sprang in front of Matcha, intercepting his advances. However, all his skills were added incorrectly and his attacks were all targeted at the creeps. Hence, he too was pushed back to his tower until a resounding ¡®double kill¡¯ echoed in their ears.

    Immediately, the cats surrounding them broke out into cheers of excitement.

    ¡°Sick! Superb y! Beautiful!¡±

    ¡°Sir George, your double kill is truly unprecedented. With Sir George leading the charge, no one can possibly take the championship title away from us.¡±

    ¡°What nonsense!¡± Airne intercepted his words, ¡°How can you possible ask Sir George to lead us in thispetition? We will be bullying the rest of thepetition! With Sir George¡¯s technique, having him is as good as cheating!¡±

    Matcha¡¯s ego continued to inte with every praise thrown at him. Meanwhile, Old Cat was observing this with a heavy heart.

    Old Cat was staring viciously at Airne, with anger pouring out of him, ¡°Can¡¯t Matcha see through his tant bootlicking? He¡¯s gotten him all conceited now!¡±

    The rest of the match continued as expected. The Luban, under Matcha¡¯s control, destroyed anything in its sight. Regardless of what was thrown at him, be it tanks, assassins, mages, warriors, nothing could stop him. None of the heroes even dared toy a single spell on Matcha.

    With 32 kills under his belt, the opponent¡¯s base was finally destroyed with Matcha¡¯s side iming ultimate victory.

    Airne continued to shower him with praises, ¡°Sir George, your skill is truly godlike. With your superb control over Luban, you should be named the World¡¯s Strongest Luban! You¡¯re stronger than any of the streamers I¡¯ve seen on the inte.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right! Sir George, could you share some tips with us?¡±

    ¡°Sir George, your phenomenal footwork has got my head all dizzy. If I were your opponent, I wouldn¡¯t even be able tond a single attack on you.¡±

    A smile stretched across his face as he gave a dismissive wave of his hand, ¡°It all boils down to your fundamentals. Calm down.¡± Then, he began to survey the cats before him and asked, ¡°Who were the ones who tried tounch a sneak attack on me?¡±

    Two paws shot up in the air immediately. Matcha nodded his head contentedly and responded, ¡°The two of you did well. You dare to fight and have exceptional observation skills. You are promoted to be my personal guards.¡±

    ¡°Thank you, Sir George.¡±

    ¡°Thank you Sir George for recognizing my humble worth.¡±

    Old Cat could not help but shake his head as he witnessed this scene. He then crept up to Matcha and cautioned him, ¡°Sir George, currently the royal cat guards prides itself on its superb Mobile Legend skills. Conversely, no one is doing the job of surveying the masses. In the long run, how will our legitimacy hold up?¡±

    ¡°Hmph,¡± Matcha shot Old Cat a menacing re, ¡°Are you trying to imply that I¡¯ve confused my priorities?¡±

    Old Cat immediately shook his head and rified, ¡°I dare not.¡± Deep down, he was thinking, ¡°You haven¡¯t just confused your priorities! You¡¯ve lost your head!¡±

    Matcha threw his paw in the air and reasoned, ¡°Mobile Legend might seem like an innocent game on the surface. However, the devil is in the details. Its content is beyond your imagination. It provides the perfect tform for us to bond as a unit. It trains our teamwork and judgment skills, which is totally transferable to our job.

    It might seem like I¡¯m simply getting them to y an innocent game. In reality, I am training them to be the best at their jobs!¡±

    Old Cat could not believe his ears and sighed in his head, ¡°Stupid cat!¡±

    Meanwhile, Airne chimed in, ¡°What wise words by Sir George! Not only do we derive pleasure out of it, we even get to train! Old Cat, you have misunderstood Sir George¡¯s painstaking actions.¡±

    Old Cat shot Airne a vicious re and muttered, ¡°What a despicable cat?¡±

    ¡°Alright, alright, shut up already!¡± Matcha rallied the crowd and barked out his next instruction, ¡°Another round! I¡¯m in the zone right now!¡±

    Airne immediately alerted the cats to their next course of action, ¡°All of you better die at least 10 times in the next game! Give Matcha the entire forest to farm! No one is to farm inside the forest!¡±

    While the royal cat guards werepletely absorbed in their game, a maroon Dragon Li was secretly observing them from the shadows. Then, it discreetly left the belly and entered the ind via the gate.

    Every moment was executed furtively. Then, it entered the forest and made a deliberate attempt to shake off any potential pursuers. Finally, it took a giant leap as its body disappeared into arge hole residing within a tree.

    Initially, the hole was nketed in pitch darkness. However, it was soon illuminated by the tens of eyes shining brightly. This was the team which Roly Poly had formed. They were members of the royal cat police force which Roly Poly had absolute faith in.

    The maroon Dragon Li responsible for collecting intel was none other than Baozi, the cat which joined Zhao Yao since the Jiangmen University incident. His master was none other than Lion Head, the cat which endowed Zhao Xue the ability to change her size.

    Since Lion Head had already decided to join forces with Roly Poly, Baozi naturally joined the side of his original master.

    Noticing the abrupt movement at the entrance to their base, Lion Head immediately rushed over and asked, ¡°Baozi, how is it? How¡¯s the situation over on Matcha¡¯s side?¡±

    Baozi reported everything which he witnessed.

    ¡°Alright,¡± Uncle Eggmented, ¡°Matcha, you dumb cat. I knew that this would happen. Now, the royal cat guards are flooded with a group of sycophants addicted to Mobile Legends. It¡¯s only a matter of time before he¡¯s dethroned.¡±

    Roly Poly stared nkly into space before a glimmer shed across his eyes, ¡°Everyone, Matcha is a lustful tyrant. Elizabeth only knows how to leverage on her good looks. Cat Sage is just leading a group of barbarians. Ares only knows how to chase behind girls¡¯ skirt while Sphynx Cat only knows how to chase behind Ares. None of them deserves our attention. As for Dust Ball, she¡¯s just another gardener. How can they everpete with us?¡±

    As he spoke, he began to paste mugshots of the six other department heads against the wall.

    He shot his paws in the mugshots¡¯ direction and eximed, ¡°It is time for us, the royal cat police force, to rise from the ranks!¡±

    Meow!

    Every cat shot their paws in the air and meowed in unison.

    Lion Head rified, ¡°What do we have to do to defeat them?¡±

    A cool, calm voice echoed throughout the ce, ¡°Continue to survey from the shadows. By collecting more intel, we¡¯ll learn about their weaknesses. In time, we¡¯ll use this material to incinerate a conflict amongst them. We will just wait for them tomit a mistake.¡±

    A smile began to dance along his lips as Roly Poly continued, ¡°At the same time, we shall train and umte our strength. Firstly, we have to rally the royal cat police force and unite them as one unit.¡±

    With that, Roly Poly¡¯s eyes nced towards Baozi as he enquired, ¡°Baozi, what¡¯s your age?¡±

    ¡°Erm, I¡¯m three this year.¡±

    Roly Poly continued, ¡°Would you like to be my god-son?¡±

    A tinge of hesitation shed across Baozi¡¯s face as his lips quivered with fear, ¡°But ...¡±

    Meanwhile, Uncle Egg had already intercepted his words, ¡°This is the most prestigious praise you can ever expect! What are you waiting for? Hurry up and thank our boss!¡±

    Sumbing to the pressure, Baozi fell to his knees and uttered, ¡°Thank you, godfather.¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s eyes had already squinted into a hard line as he ordered, ¡°Good job, my son. From today onwards, you are responsible for the reconnaissance of the royal cat guards. Youmand absolute control over the cats infiltrating their forces.¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao had copsed onto a sofa. After all, he had spent thest two weeks toiling continuously under the blistering sun.

    ¡°Hmph, I guess we are done with the basics already. Now, we just have to wait for theputer to arrive before we can install them.¡±

    Suddenly, his phone rang. It was a call from Inspector Ho.

    Unwillingly, Zhao Yao reached his arm forward as he replied nonchntly, ¡°Hi, Inspector Ho. What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    Inspector Ho¡¯s thunderous voice exploded in his ears, ¡°Hey, was there an aerolite fragment found on the ind?¡±

    ¡°Huh? What are you even talking about?¡± Zhao Yao mustered his most innocent tone and replied, ¡°What is this aerolite you¡¯re talking about? I have no idea!¡± Zhao Yao believed that Inspector Ho had extracted this information out of William¡¯s mouth.

    Inspector Ho was inplete despair as he reasoned, ¡°I know that the aerolite has the power to elevate the cats¡¯ strength. However, it is far too dangerous for your own good. Nothing good cane out of it if you continue holding on to it.¡±

    Zhao Yao too was caught in a dilemma. He wasn¡¯t too enticed by the aerolite¡¯s ability to increase the cats¡¯ power. However, the aerolite concerned the status of his main mission. He couldn¡¯t bear to bid farewell to these enticing rewards.

    Just the prospect ofpleting another main mission caused happiness to bloom inside him.

    Furthermore, the aerolite had already been absorbed into his body. He couldn¡¯t extract it even if he wished to.

    However, Inspector Ho was not giving up. He continued to rationalize with him, ¡°This aerolite is simply too attention-grabbing. We are not the only ones after it! Ivory, Talon, other state actors and their respective organizations are all desperate to include it into their arsenal!¡±

    Zhao Yao continued to act dumb, ¡°I really have no idea what you¡¯re referring to. What I do know is that I have a lot of cat litter fragments. You want that?¡±

    Inspector Ho was left speechless by Zhao Yao¡¯s response. Hence, he could only warn him, ¡°Hmph, I can¡¯t do anything if you refuse to co-operate with me. However, I¡¯m advising you to stay in Jiangmen City. The situation is not too stable in Southern China.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean by the situation is not too stable?¡± Inspector Ho¡¯s vague words had sessfully captured his attention. However, he had already hung up before Zhao Yao could even rify anything.

    ¡°What the hell was that for? Is he baiting me?¡± Worry started to gnaw at him as Zhao Yao whipped out his phone to find out more on the cat web.

    However, he was inundated with private messages the moment he logged onto his ount. After all, he was the Jiangmen Cat King on the cat web. Naturally, many clueless folks would flood his inbox with all sorts of silly requests.

    Some were asking for loans while others expressed their love for him. Some messages were far less polite while others were filled with praises andpliments. His phone wasgging from the sheer number of messages. Zhao Yao had been too busy the past few weeks and had not essed the cat web until today.

    Suddenly, something caught his eye. There were some threads talking about the situation in the South and information about Talon.

    ¡°Wouldn¡¯t a war breakout if this continues?¡±

    ¡°I saw a Talon representative tantly fighting in a train station!¡±

    ¡°What is the government doing? Are they ignoring all these?¡±

    ¡°What can they do? At this rate, they don¡¯t even know who¡¯s their ally or their enemy.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes hovered over the unnerving news as his forehead furrowed slightly, ¡°Talon? What exactly happened to them?¡±

    Zhao Yao knew their leader, God of Death. He wielded an ability which allowed him to control ordinary humans. By activating his power, this ability would spread like a virus. More and more innocent civilians would fall to it and turn into his personal ¡®puppets¡¯.

    To make things worse, God of Death had abused his power on the elites of the society, controlling them from the shadows. Unbeknownst to the public, Talon¡¯s influence had already seeped into all domains, bing a hegemon of its own kind.

    Currently, no one recognized the winds of change blowing on the ground. An intense war was about to break out.

    ...

    Inspector Ho let out a disappointing sigh as he mmed his phone against the table.

    Lin Chen craned his neck forward and asked, ¡°What happened? Did he refuse to co-operate?¡±

    ¡°That kid tried to act dumb with me. However, we have no time to be bothered about this. The situation in the South is far more precarious. Are you ready to move out first thing tomorrow morning?¡±

    Lin Chen nodded his head and rified, ¡°Has the situation over at the South deteriorated to this extent? Do we really need to transfer all the apostles over there?¡±

    Inspector Ho¡¯s face plunged into his hands as he exined, ¡°It¡¯s a mess and everyone knows it. If we didn¡¯t discover about their power serendipitously, we would never have realized the severity of the situation. We can no longer trust our informants in the South. You have to take down the entire organization this time around. Make it quick and clean.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± Lin Chen retrieved the illusion-enhanced cor which he had received from Zhao Yao and continued assuredly, ¡°This is rather useful. Coupled with my current strength, I can take down Talon on my own.¡±

    However, Lin Chen¡¯s unbridled optimism was met with Inspector Ho¡¯s sigh, ¡°Do not immediately use this the moment you touch down over there.¡±

    Lin Chen froze momentarily before finally reacting to Inspector Ho¡¯s words, ¡°You don¡¯t trust them?¡±

    Inspector Ho answered, ¡°Under such circumstances, we cannot afford to trust anyone. Hence, do not tell them about the power of this cor. Do not use it unless the situation absolutely calls for it.¡±

    Inspector Ho¡¯s worries started gnawing at Lin Chen as a line etched between his brows, ¡°Is the situation really so bad?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s just my prediction.¡± Inspector Ho exined, ¡°I¡¯m not too concerned about the apostles over there. The thing that worries me is that Talon has already seeped into the military and even ...¡± As he spoke, he had already looked far into the distance.

    Lin Chen forced an awkwardughter before replying, ¡°I¡¯m sure it¡¯s not that bad. I heard Talon is only capable of controlling normal humans. I don¡¯t think they can do it to apostles.¡±

    ¡°I hope I¡¯m the one over worrying.¡± Inspector Ho let out another depressing sigh, ¡°However, just think about it. An apostle is but a human. He might be immune to the power but can we say the same for his family? If his family is controlled, isn¡¯t it as good as controlling the apostle himself?¡±

    Perspiration began to shine on his brows as he continued, ¡°To me, the problem with Talon is huge! The threat they present is minimally 10 to 100 times worse than Zhao Yao. They will shake the very foundation of our society. Our higher-ups have made it clear. They can close one eye to Zhao Yao, but not Talon.

    This is especially so since it¡¯s only the tip of the iceberg. We have no idea just how many people are under their influence. I believe it has already transcended what our imagination is capable of. Hence, you must be extremely cautious this time. Trust no one.¡±

    Lin Chen took in a deep breath and answered, ¡°I understand.¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao was fuming with anger after sieving through all the forum threads regarding the South, ¡°Talon, this group of b*stards! Why can¡¯t they just enjoy their lives instead of wreaking havoc?¡±

    Immediately, Zhao Yaomented on a random thread, ¡°Talon, you b*stard! Just be aw-abiding citizen and mind your own business! If you dare do anything stupid, I promise you that I¡¯ll obliterate you!¡±

    A deluge of response poured in the moment Zhao Yao posted hisment.

    ¡°Hey, quickly edit yourment if not Talon wille knocking at your door!¡±

    ¡°Hey, are you stupid? This guy here is the Jiangmen City Cat King! Do you think he is afraid of that puny Talon?¡±

    ¡°Haha, the previous Huadu Cat King shared simr sentiments as you. Hmph, I think the grass above his grave is already a few inches tall.¡±

    While Zhao Yao was busy typing his response, his mission panel had already reflected the new changes.

    Mission: Number one!

    Objective: As the strongest apostle in history, it is your responsibility to encourage discussion in your thread.

    Reward: One experience point would be rewarded for every 10 posts under your thread. The maximum experience points were capped at 100.

    Punishment: Nil

    Zhao Yao was pleased to see the mission. Continuing from where he left off, Zhao Yao typed out his response with anger roaring through him, ¡°How dare youpare me to that scum, King Huadu? I am advising Talon to hide inside their stupid cave. If they ever dare to set foot on Jiangmen City, I¡¯ll make sure that¡¯s thest thing they ever do!¡±

    Another user replied, ¡°Take a look at yourself! How dare you spew such nonsense on the web? If you have the guts, go directly to the South and confront Talon!¡±

    ¡°D*mn it,¡± It had been a long time since someonest dared to refute Zhao Yao in real life. Yet, there was nothing he could do about it. He could feel the pulse mming in his neck as rage swept over him. Immediately, his eyes were locked on the person¡¯s id ¨C ferocious chick.

    Immediately, he responded to his inmmatory words with a battle invitation, ¡°Do you dare to post your address here? Give me six hours and I¡¯ll make sure you beg for me to spare your life.¡±

    The ferocious chick replied, ¡°Oh, I¡¯m so scared that I just peed on my pants! By the way, I live in the headquarters of Talon. Come if you dare.¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°I guess someone is too scared to tell me his actual address. You just wait. Wait till I finish settling my business on my end. I¡¯ll simply drop by and live stream my annihtion of Talon.¡±

    He continued to incinerate the discussion by renaming the title of the thread to ¡®I¡¯ve always been unhappy with that stupid Talon. Since my brothers in the South have had enough of their nonsense, I shall offer a resolution. I am but a humble apostle. However, I promised to eliminate 10 members of Talon for everyment in this thread. This will be calcted when 10,000ments were tabted.¡¯

    Zhao Yao knew that his mission only required 1,000 replies. By setting the target at 10,000, he couldplete the mission and at the same time not have to live up to his promise.

    This thread ignited the entire forum. In the first ce, any news regarding the South the past few days were easily the talk of the town. Secondly, this thread was created by no ordinary man. He posted in the capacity of Jiangmen City Cat King, hence legitimizing everything which he imed.

    It was now the battle between Talon and Jiangmen City Cat King, a sh of the Titans.

    Many people flocked to the thread and left theirments. Some supported Zhao Yao while others sneered at him for his reckless arrogance. Some even thought that he was simply trying to hype the entire matter.

    Soon, the thread had exceeded thousands ofments with Zhao Yao contributing 400 of it. While he was relishing in the opportunity to bicker with his detractors, he was suddenly distracted by a phone call from Inspector Ho.

    ¡°Hey, Inspector Ho. What¡¯s the matter? I¡¯m kinda busy right now.¡±

    ¡°Are you the one responsible for the thread created on the cat web?¡±

    ¡°Oh? You already know about that?¡± Suddenly a glimmer shed across his eyes as Zhao Yao continued, ¡°Since you¡¯ve already broached the topic, why not you help me ban the person with the id of ferocious chick?¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t just ban anyone whom you disagree with!¡± Inspector Ho¡¯s voice was trembling with anger as he retorted, ¡°No, that¡¯s not why I called you up this evening. I want you to edit your thread immediately. Stop creating any more unnecessary trouble.¡±

    Zhao Yao did not respond to those words well as he retorted, ¡°Are you trying to imply that I created that thread on a whim? I am trying to rally support for you using this tform. Just take a look at the number of traitors on the cat web! All of them had flocked to the side of Talon! This is especially true for Ferocious Chick! Hence, I need you to ban him now! Immediately!¡±

    ¡°Brother Zhao, for goodness sake, take it as if I¡¯m begging you. Please stop creating any more trouble for us.¡± Inspector Ho was at a loss of words, ¡°The situation in the South is already bad enough. Do you actually want them toe over here and make matters worse?¡±

    ¡°So what?¡± Zhao Yao replied arrogantly, ¡°If they dare to set foot in my home, I will destroy them. Every one of them.¡±

    Inspector Ho continued to reason with Zhao Yao, ¡°Boss, I¡¯m begging you to not blow up this entire matter! We shall take care of the problems created by Talon! However, I do not need your help to anger them and create more troubles for us! Talon is no ordinary apostle organization. Their influence is far more pervasive than you can ever imagine! Please stop adding fuel to the fire!¡±

    Zhao Yao was in a fix and reluctantly acquiesced to his instructions, ¡°Alright, alright. I understand. I shall not reply to any of thements anymore.¡±

    Zhao Yao hung up his phone and focused his attention back on the mission panel. Finally, the mission waspleted with 1000ments captured. This was another easy 100*2 experience points earned as his BOOK reached lv6 (23902/20000).

    ¡°Not bad, not bad.¡± Zhao Yao eximed with a wide grin stretched across his face.

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao was alerted to a series of meows by his feet. Looking downwards, they were none other than Catherine and Diana. They looked eagerly towards him with their sapphire-liked eyes.

    ¡°Hmph, Diana and Catherine, both of you look just so adorable!¡± Zhao Yao cried out. Like an old man resting in his chair, Zhao Yao pped against his tights, gesturing them to jump towards him, ¡°Come, and let me hug the both of you!¡±

    Obediently, the two ragdolls leaped onto hisps as they buried their heads in his chest. Zhao Yao¡¯s tender eyes looked towards them as he asked, ¡°How is it? Are you used to life in the caf¨¦?¡±

 Chapter 496: Oh No! I Forgot About It!

    <h4>Chapter 496: Oh No! I Forgot About It!</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Southern China, Huadu City.

    God of Death stared at hisputer screen as his body quivered with indignation, ¡°Jianghai City Cat King? Is he so na?ve as to assume that everything stayed the same since a year ago when everyone just awakened?¡±

    His mouse hovered across the browser as he continued to retaliate under the alias of Ferocious Chick.

    One year ago, God of Death attempted to infiltrate Jiangmen City with his puppet and the help of Sun Meng and Nessie. However, Zhao Yao thwarted his npletely.

    Since then, God of Death had temporarily given up his n to attack Jiangmen City, focusing all his attention on his Southern territory.

    One year had passed and Talon was not the same organization it used to be in terms of its influence and power. The elusive city of Jiangmen City had once again appeared on the radar of their leader¡¯s mind.

    One of his subordinate cautioned him, ¡°Based on our intel, Jiangmen City Cat King might just be the Headless Horseman. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a good time for us to find new enemies.¡±

    God of Death sniggered, ¡°Hmph, he is but one apostle. If I can¡¯t take him down with 10 apostles, I¡¯ll send 100. If 100 fail, I¡¯ll send 1000. It¡¯s as simple as that. Aren¡¯t his best record just tens of apostles? I¡¯ll simply flood him with bodies.¡±

    Another personmented, ¡°Isn¡¯t the headless horseman based in Jiangmen City? I¡¯m afraid he might have subordinates working under him. Our main battle is on the southern front. Hence, it¡¯s not advisable for us to infuriate a strong apostle like him and distract ourselves from what¡¯s important.¡±

    God of Death nodded his head thoughtfully before responding, ¡°I understand your concerns, but I¡¯m not trying to wage another war. However, that does not stop me from creating some troubles for him. I just want him to wake up to reality. Isn¡¯t that so, Mike?¡±

    With that said, everyone¡¯s attention had diverted towards the only Caucasian in the room.

    The Caucasian simply reacted with a shrug of his shoulders, ¡°Your Holiness, are you sure you want to waste such a precious gift on the Cat King of Jiangmen City?¡±

    God of Death responded by pinning him down with his cold re. Mike was an apostle from the American organization, Star Cats. Not only did he offer his service to God of Death, he even gave him an aerolite fragment as a gesture of goodwill.

    However, God of Death would never squander this valuable asset on just any random supercats. After all, the aerolite promised the power of enhancing an individual¡¯s strength.

    Sadly, God of Death¡¯s supercat did not possess an ability which entailed any sorts ofbat powers. Its only power was to control and influence ordinary men. Through doing so, he can spread hiswork of influence like a virus spreading its poison in its host body, turning everyone into his puppet.

    Hence, this cat had never appeared before anyone. No one even knew where it was or how it looked like. It was a mystery and God of Death¡¯s biggest trump card.

    But if he were to use the aerolite on his supercat, it would run the risk of exposing its identity and location.

    God of Death¡¯s vicious eyes remained fixed on the American as he pondered, ¡°Americans are no idiots. Is he trying to bait me with this aerolite?¡± A weight settled on his heart as he observed the subordinates surrounding him.

    All of them were looking at Mike with a face of desperation. All of them were dying to have the aerolite enhance their own strength.

    God of Death thought, ¡°This is getting tricky. On one hand, I can use it to strengthen myself. But in doing so, I would risk exposing my cat¡¯s identity which would be disastrous.¡±

    God of Death understood one point. If his cat¡¯s identity remained a mystery, he would be close to invincible. Hence, he was not about to go for this bait. Even if he wanted to, he was going to do it in his own terms.

    ¡°All the other apostles can¡¯t wait to have their hands on the aerolite. If I continue to hesitate, one of them is bound to sumb to the temptation.¡±

    He fully understood what the American was plotting against him. Thus, he continued to pin him down with his re and exined, ¡°Obviously I¡¯m not going to hand the aerolite over just like this.¡± Laughing, he continued, ¡°After all, there is more than one Cat King in Jiangmen City. Have you heard of the four Cat Kings of Jiangmen City?¡±

    ...

    Meow!

    Diana and Catherine were lyingfortably in the arms of Zhao Yao as they purred in satisfaction.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao! When are we receiving our pay?¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! I just got another customer! What¡¯s my reward?¡±

    ¡°Thanks for your hard work,¡± Zhao Yao replied as he ran his fingers through their beautiful fur, ¡°I¡¯ll reward you with a massage.¡± With that said he grabbed their paws in his hand and started to rub gently against it.

    While massaging the cats, Zhao Yao began to observe the situation in the cat caf¨¦. Immediately, he was alerted to the huge gender imbnce. The caf¨¦ basicallyprised female students from the neighboring middle school, high school, and college. Each of them held their beloved cat in their arms.

    Despite the effects of Celestial Beats, the vast majority of his customer was still females.

    Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t help butughed when he watched the girls yed with his cats, ¡°Opening a cat caf¨¦ definitely has its perks.¡±

    However, he suddenly noticed something observing him from the shadows. It was none other than Elizabeth.

    Elizabeth observed Zhao Yao cradling her mother and sister and thought, ¡°Hmph, Zhao Yao, I didn¡¯t expect you to be seduced by their novelty. Is it because I, Elizabeth, am not cute enough for you? Is it because I cannot satisfy you? Why choose them out of everyone?¡±

    With that, Elizabeth had escaped from her customer¡¯s clutches and leaped gracefully to the ground, making her way towards Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Oh, isn¡¯t Elizabeth a good girl today?¡± Zhao Yao bent down and extended his arms towards her. All these time, Elizabeth had basked in the effects of Celestial Beats 24/7 while enjoying the sumptuous food prepared with the freshest ingredients picked from the extradimensional belly. It was no surprise that she looked as stunning as she was today.

    Her light pink nose and lips coupled with that furry neck made her the number one sought after cat in the caf¨¦.

    Currently, Elizabeth was rubbing her head against Zhao Yao¡¯s chest as she exined, ¡°Zhao Yao, my family has been working extremely hard the past few days.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Zhao Yao replied as he ran his fingers through her fur. In response, Elizabeth shut her eyes and acted as if she was enjoying it. Actually, she hated it, ¡°Everyone just wants to touch my chin. Do you think I actually enjoy it? Never mind, I shall just continue my act.¡±

    Suddenly, Elizabeth began to reach her adorable paws towards Zhao Yao¡¯s chest and started pressing against it. It seemed like she was hungry for some milk.

    Elizabeth thought, ¡°You guys love it when I act all needy and stupid, right? With this move, Zhao Yao will definitely give in to whatever I ask for.¡±

    The surrounding girls had already huddled behind Zhao Yao, with excitement shooting out of their eyes, ¡°Hey, Elizabeth is doing it again!¡±

    ¡°She¡¯s so adorable! Just look at her paws!¡±

    ¡°This action means that she just recalled how it was like when she suckled as a baby. This means that she¡¯s happy!¡±

    A girl shouted in Zhao Yao¡¯s direction, ¡°Boss, you¡¯re taking three cats all to yourself!¡±

    ¡°Hey! That¡¯s unfair! Share them with us!¡±

    Zhao Yao relented, ¡°Alright, you guys can take Catherine and Diana away but Elizabeth is staying with me.¡±

    The girls hurried over with a wide grin across their face and cradled the cats in their chests. Meanwhile, Elizabeth continued her world-ss act and pleaded, ¡°Zhao Yao, can you buy me the self-beauty camera for my streams?¡±

    ¡°Streams?¡± Zhao Yao thought about it for a while before agreeing, ¡°Alright but don¡¯t do anything stupid.¡±

    Suddenly, before Elizabeth even responded, Zhao Yao was alerted to his phone¡¯s vibration, ¡°Hmph? A message from Hanako? Oh, I guess she¡¯s doing quite well in Tokyo. Hmph, she even sent me a few videos of Lightning.¡±

    Then, it urred to him as shivers ran down his spine. He finally recalled which cat he had forgotten about.

 Chapter 497: The Search

    <h4>Chapter 497: The Search</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    ¡°D*mn it!¡± Zhao Yao eximed as Hanako¡¯s text shed in his head. Immediately, he threw his hands over his face, suppressing a gasp, ¡°This is bad. I¡¯vepletely forgotten about Lightning and left him there in the ins! I even removed the extradimensional gate which I had erected there.¡±

    ¡°Calm down ... where did I leave Lightning at?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s hands tightened its grip on his head. Perspiration continued to run down his spine as he remarked, ¡°Hmph ... Pas¡¯s cat king was the one who brought me to the ins but I¡¯vepletely forgotten where it is!¡±

    Before Zhao Yao could even summon any memory of Lightning¡¯s location, his phone began to vibrate again. It was another message from Hanako, ¡°How¡¯s Lightning doing? Has he gotten fatter? How heavy is he? Is he sick of your food already? Remember to reward him with some canned food.¡±

    ¡°Hmph ...¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s fingers trembled as it ran across the screen, ¡°Lightning is doing really well. He¡¯s at least two pounds heavier than before. I¡¯ve never seen that silly smile of his disappeared from his face.¡±

    ¡°Oh, is that so? I¡¯m excited to hear that. By the way, is he near you? Can we do a video chat?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s nails began to sink into his own skin as his chest tightened with fear, ¡°D*mn it, how am I supposed to do a video chat without him? I need to get him back ASAP, but how am I supposed to do it without his address? Maybe it¡¯s possible to navigate my way there with Amaps 1 ?¡±

    Just when he thought that the situation couldn¡¯t get any worse, a video chat request by Hanako had lit up his screen.

    Immediately, Zhao Yao mmed his finger against the reject button. However, Hanako was relentless as another video chat requested popped up. Once again, Zhao Yao mmed against that same button.

    Finally, Hanako gave up and followed up with a text message, ¡°Zhao Yao, what¡¯s happening? Why aren¡¯t you answering my video call? Did something happen to Lightning?

    ¡°I¡¯m dead.¡± Zhao Yao mumbled as he watched the deluge of message flooding his phone. Drops of sweat umted on his forehead began to drip against the table.

    After three whole minutes of pointless waiting, Hanako finally received the video chat request from Zhao Yao and thought, ¡°What the hell is that guy up to?¡± She tapped on the answer button and was immediately brought to a beautiful grass field. She could even see a Pas¡¯s cat hiding within the cracks of a gravel. The cat was staring suspiciously at its surroundings.

    Hanako was taken aback by this scene, ¡°Zhao Yao, you guys went to the grasnd?¡±

    ¡°Yup, that¡¯s right.¡± Zhao Yao continued to rify, ¡°You do know that it has been Lightning¡¯s dream to run freely on the grasnds since he was a baby. Hence, I decided to make his dreame true.¡±

    Hanako continued to observe the Pas¡¯s cat in the video and was shocked beyond words, ¡°Huh, is Lightning trying to catch that rat? When did he suddenly turn so ¡®wild¡¯?¡±

    With a few quick strides, the Pas¡¯s cat had captured the rat in its mouth, with its blood dripping down its lips. Hanako hesitated for a split second before asking, ¡°Lighting knows how to hunt? I mean he didn¡¯t even like to eat raw food in the past.¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately exined, ¡°The grasnds are the most conducive learning environment for a cat. They learn to grow in a safe yet realistic ce. Since you left us, Lightning had turned into a potent hunting machine.¡±

    Hanako was notpletely convinced, ¡°But why does Lighting look so skinny from the video? I feel like he has be significantly skinnier since he turned into a hunting machine.¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s not skinny. He has simply reced his fats with lean muscle.¡± Zhao Yao continued, ¡°That exins his increase in weight! He¡¯s no longer that domesticated cat which only knows how to open his mouth for food. He is now the king of the grasnds, running freely beneath the beautiful blue sky. He even has his own empire now.¡±

    Hanako¡¯s mouth finally curved into a smile as she nodded her head with delight, ¡°Thank you, Zhao Yao. Originally, Lightning was a useless fool. I thought he would spend his entire lifezing at home. Every day, he only knows to turn on that stupidputer and sniff that disgusting catmint. I thought that he was bound to die on the sofa.

    I cannot imagine just how much he has grown since he left me. He has already turned into an independent cat that can survive on his own. I am truly touched.¡±

    Zhao Yao answered, ¡°Yes, Hanako. It¡¯s only natural for cats to grow and mature; Lightning is no exception. It¡¯s time to let him go and allow him to roam freely in his natural habitat.¡±

    Just when Zhao Yao thought that the debacle was over, a few shadows zoomed past their screen. A few wolves had appeared out of nowhere and pounced straight on top of that defenseless Pas¡¯s cat. The cat was shredded to pieces and left to die in his own pool of blood, right before Hanako¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Ah!¡±

    Hanako¡¯s haunting scream reverberated in Zhao Yao¡¯s ears as he immediately stopped the video on hisputer.

    Hanako was barely able to breathe as she asked, ¡°What just happened Zhao Yao? Was Lightning eaten by those disgusting wolves? Wait... Zhao Yao!¡±

    Before Hanako could even finish her statement Zhao Yao had already ended the video call. This was proceeded by Hanako¡¯s non-stop message which turned his phone all hot. It had been a long time since Zhao Yaost felt so nervous.

    ¡°D*mn it.¡± Zhao Yao began to scratch frantically against the back of his head, ¡°Why does it have to be this particr species? If not, I could have just bought it off any pet store¡¯s shelf and gave it to Hanako.¡±

    Meanwhile, a new mission had appeared on his mission panel.

    Mission: Find the Super Pas¡¯s cat

    Objective: Find the Super Pas¡¯s cat, Lightning

    Reward: 100 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    ¡°What? Just 100 experience points? I guess it¡¯s better than nothing.¡±

    Left with no options, Zhao Yao brought Roly Poly along and boarded the next avable flight to that mysterious grasnd. Once there, he opened his mouth and realized Sphynx Cat for this search and rescue mission.

    Currently, Sphynx Cat was executing a one finger handstand push up. In order to make this already difficult exercise even more strenuous, Sphynx Cat even attached a 600kg dumbbell to his tail. If he had activated the 10X gravitation force of the belly, the weight would have increased to 6000kg!

    Suddenly, the concrete floor lying beneath his head had turned into grass and soil. Sphynx Cat¡¯s jaw went ck when he noticed it beforeining, ¡°What happened? Can¡¯t you see that I¡¯m in the midst of an important training?¡±

    Roly Poly, which was perched on top of Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulder, couldn¡¯t believe his eyes when he saw the monstrous dumbbell attached to Sphynx Cat¡¯s tails. It looked more like tank gun than a dumbbell! Roly Poly barely managed to bit back a scream as he thought, ¡°I can¡¯t believe that Sphynx Cat has evolved to this stage. Can he even be considered a cat?¡±

    On the other hand, Zhao Yao waspletely indifferent to his actions. After all, he had been observing his training progress day in, day out. Zhao Yao exined, ¡°Lightning is lost. Hence, I would like to trouble you to help find him.¡±

    ¡°Tsk,¡± Sphynx Cat scoffed as he leaped into the air with a graceful somersault. Because of the 600kg dumbbell still attached to his tail, the mere impact created to execute this move was enough to leave two mini pits on the ground.

    Zhao Yao stared at Sphynx Cat¡¯s ¡®masterpiece¡¯ and asked, ¡°Do you need me to help you return the dumbbells to the belly?¡±

    ¡°No! I haven¡¯t even met my 20,000 weighted handstand push up target for the day!¡± Suddenly, he went on all fours and started taking a few deep breaths, ¡°There is nothing here. Don¡¯t tell me that you expect me tob the entire grasnds for him?¡±

    ¡°Nothing? But I remember that I left him somewhere here.¡± Zhao Yao began to scratch his head in despair, ¡°Can you help me search the surrounding area?¡±

    ¡°What a drag. Just wait here for me.¡± Sphynx Cat instructed before resuming his handstand position, with the dumbbell attached to his tail. In that peculiar position, he began to sprint at a speed which was even faster than Zhao Yao with ¡®five is better than four¡¯ activated.

    Zhao Yao could not help but sigh as he watched Sphynx Cat disappeared off into the horizons, ¡°Roly Poly, just look at that.¡±

    Just when Zhao Yao thought that Sphynx Cat would be gone for some time, he had already returned with an exciting piece of news, ¡°I¡¯ve found him.¡±

    ¡°So fast?¡± Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t believe his ears.

    Sphynx Cat hesitated for a moment and struggled to piece his reply, ¡°You¡¯ll understand when you see it.¡±

    Tagging behind Sphynx Cat, Zhao Yao ran for a few kilometers before arriving at a humongous statue of a cat-man hybrid. The head looked exactly like a Pas¡¯s cat. Beside this magnificent statue stood an evenrger pyramid.

    ¡°What the hell?¡± Zhao Yao shook his head in disbelief, ¡°What has that stupid cat been up to?¡±

 Chapter 498: The Empire of the Pallasâ€™s Cat

    <h4>Chapter 498: The Empire of the Pas¡¯s Cat</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao, Sphynx Cat, and Roly Poly could only see the entire structure in its entirety after taking a few steps forward. The pce extended in neat lines from the sides of the pyramid. A plot ofnd was still in the midst of construction with big chunks of soil emerging from the ground and turning into blocks of rocks. The structure was built on its own!

    ¡°The power to manipte sand, soil, and rocks? No wonder, he could create such a brilliant building.¡±

    Before Zhao Yao could even take a step towards the pce, the three of them had already been surrounded by a group of angry Pas¡¯s cat snarling at them, ¡°Who are you!¡±

    ¡°How dare you intrude on our nation¡¯s territory?¡±

    ¡°They must be spies! We must execute them immediately!¡±

    Zhao Yao was caught in a moment of disbelief and exined, ¡°I¡¯m not a spy. Is Lightning here? I¡¯m looking for him.¡±

    Terror overtook the surrounding Pas¡¯s cats¡¯ faces for they never expected him to understand theirnguage.

    ¡°Who is this Lightning that he is talking about?¡±

    ¡°Maybe he¡¯s referring to the Lightning?¡±

    Amongst the pack emerged a slightlyrger cat. It approached Zhao Yao calmly and asked, ¡°The Lightning that you are searching for, is he the great one?¡±

    ¡°The great one?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s brows instantly snapped together. Suddenly, a bad premonition dawned on him, ¡°What are you guys talking about?¡±

    ¡°That one!¡± The Pas¡¯s cat raised its voice and exined, ¡°Our great furless leader! He is the legendary Super Pas¡¯s cat! He has never tasted defeat in the hands of our furred nemesis. He has the unbelievable power of destroying all furry organisms. Nothing could take him down. Until now, no one has survived a battle against him. He is the Goshawk of our ins, Genghis Khan Lightning. Are you looking for him?¡±

    Zhao Yao forced a fake smile and thought, ¡°How did this guye up with so many titles for himself? And what¡¯s his deal with fur? Why did he have to resort to all these stupid behavior?¡±

    Even though Zhao Yao was still struggling to ept Lightning¡¯s new title, he still nodded his head and replied, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m looking for him. Is he here?¡±

    ¡°Not everyone has the privilege to meet our furless leader.¡± The cat scoffed. Then, he directed his gaze towards the furless Sphynx Cat before continuing, ¡°However, if you¡¯re referring to this brave warrior, he may meet our leader in his residence.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± A muscle in Zhao Yao¡¯s jaw twitched when those words rang in his head. Just when he was about to barge in for Lightning, a bugle began to sound from afar.

    Therger Pas¡¯s cat then barked out its instructions, ¡°Is it an invasion from the lynx empire? The two of you stay here. The rest,e with me!¡±

    With that, it led the remaining cats to battle.

    Seeing their bodies disappear into the horizon, Zhao Yao was tempted to follow behind only to be stopped by another Pas¡¯s cat, ¡°Human, do not move!¡±

    Zhao Yao could only let out a sigh of despair with a shrug of his shoulders. Then, with a snap of his fingers, five senses illusion descended on the cats, immediately knocking them out. Zhao Yao stretched his arm towards Roly Poly and instructed, ¡°Invisible.¡±

    Momentster, the trio was hot on the warriors¡¯ heels while remainingpletely invisible.

    They followed them all the way to this vast grass in. Hundreds of cats had gathered together in two distinct halves.

    The northern endprised troops from the lynx family. Their bloodthirsty res would send chills running down any man¡¯s spine. Their menacing look coupled with that blood-curdling growls were a sight to behold. Leading the pack was arge cat, easily twice the size of itspanions. Its eyes glinted with pure anger and wrath.

    ¡°It really is the lynx! Have they been awakened as well?¡± Zhao Yao was pleasantly surprised by this scene. A lynx was easily twice to thrice the size of an ordinary cat, giving the impression of a tiny leopard. The fur from the side of their cheeks was extremely prominent, making them easily distinguishable.

    The Pas¡¯s cat on the southern end had gathered in a precise formation. Eight cats stood on thest row with a wooden chariot resting above their shoulders. A furless cat set in it with a nonchnt expression spread across his face. It was definitely Lightning.

    Even though there were supercats on both ends of the battlefield, not every cat there had been awakened. In fact, the majority of them were ordinary cats, waiting for their leaders¡¯ instructions.

    Suddenly, the silence was broken by therge lynx, ¡°Pas¡¯s cat! How dare you invade mynd? You are seeking an early death, aren¡¯t you?¡±

    Lightning sniggered but remained silent. He simply pped his hands as the Pas¡¯s cat in front of him shouted, ¡°You stupid lynx king! The entire grasnds are bound to end up in our furless leader¡¯s hand! Only in surrender can you protect your life.¡±

    Ahh! Evidently, both sides were not about to give in. With that loud roar, the lynx king spearheaded the onught of his team. You could even see the cold winds spiraling on the surface of its skin. A path of frozen ground followed wherever it passed.

    The Pas¡¯s cats were significantly smaller than their lynx counterparts. Hence, a tinymotion broke out only to be quelled by their charismatic leader. Then, they began to spread and revealed their core team.

    At least 10 shaved Pas¡¯s cats gathered in their battle formation. They simply stood there with their puffed-up chest and their eyes glued to the oing adversaries.

    Finally, Lightning descended from his chariot and came to his elite army. His paw grazed past the top of their heads as he sauntered across the battlefield. Every time his paw made contact with their heads a faint glow would emanate from them.

    While he was transferring his super static power to his warriors, he began to yell, ¡°All of you are the most elite warriors of our nation!¡±

    ¡°All of you have been through the 10 toughest training when you got your fur shaved!¡±

    ¡°All the scars that were etched onto your skin during the shaving are the best medals a soldier can ever ask for!¡±

    ¡°Even the shortest of fur was not spared. One by one, they were plucked from your tender skin!¡±

    ¡°In order to prevent the growth of new fur, you experienced pains that no one ever thought was even possible!¡±

    ¡°What is there to fear after having gone through all these cruel tests?¡±

    Ahh! The Pas¡¯s cat screamed in unison.

    In his invisible form, Zhao Yao was eavesdropping on Lightning¡¯s pep talk. He couldn¡¯t help but suppress hisughter as he whispered, ¡°So the bravest of them are all furless now? I guess you can say that it¡¯s quite a brave thing to do considering all the fur on a Pas¡¯s cat¡¯s body.¡±

    After endowing his elite warriors the static force, Lightning called out hisst instruction, ¡°Go forth, my warriors! I, the furless leader, the fur assassin, the nation¡¯s number one warrior, order you to annihte our enemy! Let others tremble in fear when they hear the word of our destruction!¡±

    The ten furless cats sprang forward towards the enemy¡¯s onught. It was like a tiger entering a sheep¡¯s pack. Any lynx which even touched grazed or brushed past them would copse to the ground. Their fur had turned into steel rods and punctured their own bodies.

    Even the lynx king was no exception to that. He tried to attack them, only to let out that same shrilling shriek as a pool of blood formed at his feet.

 Chapter 499: The Capture and the Situation

    <h4>Chapter 499: The Capture and the Situation</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    The lynx¡¯s¡¯ cries for blood ended as abruptly as it started. Once again, the Pas¡¯s cat army returned to great fanfare while their opponents remained stranded in the brutal battleground.

    Zhao Yao continued to stalk them with that same annoyed expression hanging on his face. The celebration continued back in the pce. However Lightning was the only cat which ran towards thergest hall in the pce with a wicked smile on his face.

    ¡°Where the hell is he going off to?¡± Zhao Yao continued to stalk from the shadows. Lightning pushed open the huge doors to a giant hall filled with furless female Pas¡¯s cats.

    ¡°Hmph? Why did this stupid cat shave all the female cats?¡±

    While Zhao Yao was still caught up in that thought, his ears gave a slight shudder as he heard a conversation between two female cats. One of them had been shaved while the other was still your usual furry Pas¡¯s cat.

    The furry one yelled with tears streaming down her cheeks, ¡°I don¡¯t want to shave! It feels so cold after shaving!¡±

    The shaved one screamed in response, ¡°Silly child! Our king only likes cats without fur! How can you earn his affection without shaving?¡±

    At this moment, Lightning had already appeared inside the hall. He leaped next to the anxious young cat and exined, ¡°Be a good girl and shave. As the Super Pas¡¯s cat, my power is simply too strong. If you do not shave, I¡¯m afraid you might not be able to handle it when we copte in the future.¡±

    ¡°Huh? Why?¡±

    A crimson flush stained Lightning¡¯s cheeks as he answered, ¡°A cat is in its most rxed state during the period of sexual intercourse. Even I, the king, am no exception to that. That makes me vulnerable in identally discharging my static charges. Hence, shaving is for the safety of everyone. As long as you are shaved, we can do whatever we want without any of the possible dangers.¡±

    Zhao Yao could no longer handle all these nonsense being spouted from his mouth. Hence, he sprinted forward and dragged Lightning by his neck before mming it against the floor.

    ¡°Lightning, I have no choice but to bring you back home. You are the worst possible scum in the entire grasnds!¡±

    Instinctively, Lightning let out a deafening shriek when he caught sight of his ex-master. An outburst of electric charges then exploded from his furry skin.

    Because of the attack, Zhao Yao¡¯s hair began to stand on its ends like an afro. However, that same calm expression remained fixed to his face.

    ¡°Haha, Lightning, it¡¯s futile. I¡¯ve gone for some Brazilian waxing since myst time here. It¡¯s useless regardless of how much static you produced!¡± However, Lightning continued to struggle relentlessly in his hands. Hence, Zhao Yao sniggered, ¡°Don¡¯t you understand? The same trick cannot work twice on the headless horseman!¡±

    However, a frown did cross Zhao Yao¡¯s face when he noticed hispanion, Roly Poly, falling to the ground writhing in pain. His screams echoed through the halls, ¡°Why am I affected?¡± In the process of his fall, he even identally cut Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulders.

    As a furless cat, Sphynx Cat waspletely indifferent to this attack. He could not empathize with Roly Poly¡¯s predicament and even shot him a look of disdain. In order to stop that annoying scream, he still went up to help remove the steel fur.

    The screaming continued for around one minute before Roly Poly even had the strength to talk, ¡°Thank you, Sphynx Cat. I feel much better now.¡±

    Seeing that Zhao Yao was unaffected, Lightning resorted to his next move by crying aloud, ¡°Zhao Yao, I don¡¯t want to go back to your apartment! I have my own empire here!¡±

    ¡°How can you even call this an empire? If I continue allowing you to wreak havoc, all the cats here will freeze to death!¡±

    However, Lightning¡¯s yells did not end, ¡°What about my wife and children? What will happen to them if you take me away?¡±

    Zhao Yao had not expected this reply, ¡°What do you mean wife and children?¡±

    Momentster, a few female cats appeared with dozens of kittens crying in their arms.

    ¡°Hey, do not bully my father!¡±

    ¡°Return us our father!¡±

    ¡°Boohoo, Mummy, what is going to happen to daddy?¡±

    A weight settled on his heart as this scene unfolded before Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes, ¡°Are all these kittens your children?¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡± Lightning answered as he furiously nodded his head, ¡°They are all my children shared with Big Beautiful, Second Beautiful and Third Beautiful!¡± Lightning pointed his paw in a female cat¡¯s direction and cried, ¡°On the second day spent on these grasnds, I met Big Beautiful! It was love at first sight as both of us fell deeply in love with each other! Maybe God had nned for me to finally settle down after all these time. On the next day, I was alerted to the wonderful news that she is pregnant ...¡±

    Zhao Yao pped a hand over his mouth before carefully cing Lightning on the ground. He began to look at him with somewhat pitiful eyes. He then squatted beside him and patted him on his shoulders.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Lightning couldn¡¯tprehend the sudden change in attitude, ¡°Why are you looking at me like this?¡±

    Roly Poly staggered towards him and did the exact same patting on his shoulders. Roly Poly then inched forward and whispered into his ears, ¡°It takes a few months for a Pas¡¯s cat to get pregnant.¡±

    Lightning froze for a split second before his jaws mmed against the ground. He was petrified.

    Meanwhile, following themotion, the original Pas¡¯s cat king had run in with his daughter by his side. He was overwhelmed with joy when he recognized Zhao Yao,¡± You¡¯ve finally returned!¡±

    Zhao Yao gave a shrug of his shoulders and asked, ¡°What¡¯s so special about that?¡±

    The Pas¡¯s cat king began to scream telepathically, ¡°Quick, bring this guy away right now! If you dy any longer, all the females in my n will be lost to him!¡±

    At this moment, Lightning cocked his head 45¡ã skywards and let out a desperateugh, ¡°Isn¡¯t this better? Buy one get one free?¡±

    Sphynx Cat mumbled, ¡°Scum.¡±

    Meanwhile, Roly Poly¡¯s eyes began to shine with excitement as he thought, ¡°Is this what it means to be a blessing in disguise? If we can actively adopt a different perspective, we can see the merits even in the darkest of times!¡±

    ¡°Trash.¡± Zhao Yao then grabbed Lightning by his neck and started waving goodbye to the Pas¡¯s cat king, ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll be bringing him home. Bye!¡±

    Zhao Yao then stretched open his mouth for both Roly Poly and Sphynx Cat to enter. However, Lightning continued to struggle mightily in his hands, ¡°I don¡¯t want to leave! My empire needs me! My children are still here waiting for me!¡±

    However, he was immediately nketed by Zhao Yao¡¯s vicious aura. With his death re staring straight at him, Zhao Yao exined, ¡°If you refuse to co-operate, I¡¯ll have no choice but to cut you up and send you home.¡±

    Finally, Lightning cupped his ears and disappeared into Zhao Yao¡¯s mouth. Zhao Yao bid the Pas¡¯s cat king his final farewell before disappearing as well.

    Now that Zhao Yao and Lightning were finally gone, the Pas¡¯s cat king could finally breathe a sigh of relief, ¡°They¡¯re finally gone!¡±

    Lightning was all sullen for the next one month. Luckily for Zhao Yao, he bagged another 100*2 experience points. However, Hanako wasn¡¯t exactly pleased when she saw Lightning¡¯s new appearance the following video chat.

    However, during Zhao Yao¡¯s period of rest, the situation in the South continued to worsen. One particr story started to spread like wildfire on the national level.

    Including the 20 odd cat kings in the South, all the official government divisions in the South had refused to participate in the exercise against Talon, rendering the situation aplete chaos.

    At the same time, God of Death had deployed some of his men over to the rural area of Jiangmen City. They were currently situated inside a massive building, overlooking a giant block which resembled both a school and a dormitory.

    The American, Mike, looked through the information in his hand and muttered, ¡°So this supposed Cat King of the West is located here? I hope that it canst long enough for me to have some fun.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 500: The Sixth Sense</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    On this very day, Zhao Yao was simply rxing on a couch in the caf¨¦, with the furless Lightning cradled in his arms.

    Now that he waspletely furless, he could easily disguise himself as a Sphynx Cat. In order to prevent Lightning from embroiling himself in all these sexual tensions and further destabilizing themunity, Zhao Yao decided to bring him to the caf¨¦.

    Currently, he was lying restlessly in Zhao Yao¡¯s arms with both paws gripped onto his bicep. He stared nkly in front of him to the scene of the other cats chasing each other around.

    He then tapped Zhao Yao lightly against his chest and whispered, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, I would like to pay a visit to the cat ind.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Zhao Ya shot him down, without even raising his head or opening his eyes, ¡°Be an obedient boy and stay here.¡±

    Lightning tried to invoke some of Zhao Yao¡¯s sympathy with his puppy eyes and reasoned, ¡°Zhao Yao, I am no longer a kid. I just want to go there, just one time. I¡¯m almost bored to death in the caf¨¦.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, I have to agree that you¡¯re not a kid.¡± Zhao Yao sniggered, ¡°By just walking to the opposite street to empty the rubbish, I can at least meet 12 cats which you have had sex with. The only reason I¡¯ve not sterilized you is because of Hanako.¡±

    Lightning¡¯s head plunged in despair with the word ¡®bored¡¯ written across his face.

    However, Zhao Yao continued to smile at him, ¡°Are you really that bored? How about we y a game?¡± With that, he pressed his hand against Lightning¡¯s head and asked, ¡°What is one plus one?¡±

    Immediately, the answer two shed across Lightning¡¯s head. However, for some unknown reason, he was seized by a strong impulse to change his answer to three instead.

    Hence, Lightning eximed, ¡°Three!¡± His brows instantly snapped together as his answer rang in his ear, ¡°What happened? Why did I shout three as the answer?¡±

    A radiant smile danced on Zhao Yao¡¯s lips as he watched this event happened right before him. This was the effect of his new power, Sixth Sense.

    It was hard to pinpoint exactly what it could achieve but it had something to do with intuition. Lately, Zhao Yao had spent a considerable amount of time tinkering with the power and had an inkling as to how to utilize it.

    Hence, Lightning¡¯s absurd reaction was an example of his power in y.

    From there, Zhao Yao attempted to continue experimenting with Lightning but it was to no avail. The trick no longer worked now that Lightning was more alert. After all, it was just a hunch which was inplete contradiction with Lightning¡¯s logical judgment. Thus, Lightning could easily ovee it with his rationality.

    Hence, the power of Sixth Sense was not optimized when you used it alone. Only whenbined with the other five senses could it truly elevate Elizabeth¡¯s illusion to the next level.

    However, Zhao Yao was still in the midst of mastering the actual workings behind it. Ultimately, this was his first time operating it on a living target. There were many intricacies to it which he had yet to fully understand.

    At the same time, he shot a nce at Elizabeth who was lying quietly on the kitty tower. Her snow white body had attracted the attention of tens of college girls who were frantically shoving the canned food in her face.

    ¡°Elizabeth,e and have a bite! This is the freshest salmon in the market!¡±

    ¡°Move away. Elizabeth is more interested in the sardine in my hands!¡±

    ¡°You two dumb fools! How dare you bring out such cheap goods for our beloved Elizabeth. Come here, I¡¯ve bought your favorite frozen cat food!¡±

    Elizabeth shot all these obnoxious school girls a look of contempt before resuming her grooming activities. She waspletely indifferent towards the food they offered.

    .

    Zhao Yao¡¯s lip began to curl with disdain as he observed her action, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Elizabeth to be so proficient with the Sixth Sense. Maybe, this is her innate ability? Hmph, I guess she has always been rather narcissistic. Hence, it was extremely easy for her to imbue the idea that they loved Elizabeth in the girls¡¯ minds.¡±

    Zhao Yao knew that this result was abination of both the instinct imnted in their heads and Elizabeth¡¯s natural good looks. Hence, their affection for her intensified to the extent that they actually believed that this feeling was genuine.

    With this thought in his head, a glimmer of brilliance shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes, ¡°I¡¯ve gotten it!¡± He then looked at his palms.

    ¡°I need someone with an exceptionally attractive appearance.¡± He then whipped out his phone and looked at himself through the reflection, ¡°It is evident that I am such a person. Does this mean that I can make others crazy over me?¡±

    A devious smile stretched across Zhao Yao¡¯s face as a wicked idea bloomed in his head. His eyes scanned his caf¨¦, looking for potential customers to experiment on.

    ¡°Anyway, it¡¯s just a test. That¡¯s all. The effects will be gone the moment I lift the illusion. It¡¯s not like I¡¯m going to get anyone pregnant.¡±

    His eyes were immediately locked on to a girl dressed in a sailor dress. With his eyes squinted into a line, he began his operation by slowly imnting the Sixth Sense in her.

    Initially, the girl just wanted to feed Elizabeth with the can in her hands. However, her vision was clouded by a momentary haziness before she recovered, staring nkly at the can in her palms.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s heart skipped a beat as he thought, ¡°Did it work?¡±

    Instead, the girl started prancing towards him with her brows tightly knitted together. She then eximed in Zhao Yao¡¯s face, ¡°Boss, your price here is as good as daylight robbery! I can buy this RMB 100 food for just RMB 20 anywhere else! This is as good as cheating!¡±

    Zhao Yao quickly wiped off the sweat umted on his forehead and exined, ¡°Actually, you have to see it from another angle. You are not just paying for the food but the opportunity to y with the cats. I mean where else can you y with so many beautiful cats when buying this canned food?¡±

    However, the girl continued to be blinded with rage, ¡°You want me to feed your cats and pay you for the food used? No, this is a scam. I want my money back.¡±

    Seeing that she was not going to budge, Zhao Yao chose to cancel the illusion before he could even begin to pacify her.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Zhao Yao was drowning in despair, ¡°Why did she suddenly turn so miserly?¡±

    However, it was not like Zhao Yao to give up so easily. He then switched his target to another high school girl. Once again, he had struck her with the Sixth Sense illusion.

    However, a mysterious thing urred. The girl originally held Mango in her hands but her eyes suddenly turned all watery as beads of tears rolled down her rosy cheeks.

    Zhao Yao waspletely caught by surprise as he rushed over tofort her, ¡°Hey, what¡¯s the matter? Why are you crying?¡±

    The high school girl who was overwhelmed with sorrow exined, ¡°I suddenly recalled just how much I spent toe here ... then ... I just got all sad and depressed.¡±

    Zhao Yao was left speechless.

    Somehow, Elizabeth had noticed this anomalous behavior and bellowed inughter, ¡°Zhao Yao, what are you trying to do?¡±

    Zhao Yao retracted his illusion and returned to his seat. He simply curled his lips when he heard Elizabeth¡¯s words but chose to ignore it. He had a rough idea as to what had happened.

    The Sixth Sense illusion allowed the user to adjust other¡¯s instincts. It was simr to the normal illusion where the user altered the target¡¯s state of mind with his feelings.

    However, the sense of sight, smell, hearing, touch, and taste were far more specific than the Sixth Sense. Zhao Yao could easily recall all the senses which he had experienced.

    However, instinct was far more abstract than the aforementioned. Other than straightforward notions such as ¡®one plus one¡¯, instincts which affected our decisions in determining who we liked, hated, despised were far moreplicated. It was linked to our fears, interests and other emotions.

    Furthermore, a human¡¯s state of mind was in a constant flux. It ebbed and flowed like the tides in the sea. Weprised of aplete mishmash of feelings.

    It was easier to imnt a specific memory and answer in a person¡¯s mind but the same could not be said when it came to abstract emotions. It was difficult topartmentalize our feelings and imnt it in others without identally mixing in something which we held dearly to.

    Elizabeth was the most narcissistic cat Zhao Yao had ever met. Hence, it was easy for her to imnt the notion that she was a cute cat in others¡¯ minds. After all, that¡¯s what she thought of every second of her life.

    The thought which constantly upied Zhao Yao¡¯s mind was the importance of money.

 Chapter 501: God of Death

    Meanwhile, Elizabeth continued to mock Zhao Yao, ¡°Meowhahaha! Zhao Yao, you are truly in love with money! You¡¯re the most ambitious man I¡¯ve ever met in my life!¡±

    Zhao Yao could only respond with a roll of his eyes. From the looks of it, the process of injecting a notion into a person¡¯s mind was too difficult. Originally, he had nned to nt the idea that he was a righteous and handsome man. Instead, all he managed to imnt was some realistic notions of money.

    Ultimately, this thought had stayed with Zhao Yao for his entire life. Hence, it was natural for it to seep through when Zhao Yao attempted to use his power.

    Paying no attention to Elizabeth¡¯s sneer, Zhao Yao continued to contemte, ¡°I guess I still need further practice when ites to manipting the sixth sense. I must try to separate my personal emotions from the instinct I¡¯m trying to conjure. This can only be considered a sess when I can reliably transfer the instincts to a target with no interference from my personal emotions.¡±

    Hence, Zhao Yao decided to temporarily give up on human targets and focused instead on Lightning.

    With his eyes squinted together, Lightning¡¯s body suddenly gave a slight shudder as he cocked his head towards Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Hmph, did it actually work?¡±

    Momentster, Lightning began to mount his entire body on top of Zhao Yao¡¯s right arm. With his arms wrapped around Zhao Yao¡¯s arm, his body began to gyrate continuously with his tongue stuck out. Evidently, he had mistaken Zhao Yao¡¯s arm for his partner.

    ¡°D*mn it, this actually worked? And it¡¯s quite a sess.¡± Zhao Yao immediately canceled the illusion and began to shake Lightning off by violently throwing his arms around. However, Lightning was literally glued to him with a lustful smile spread across his face.

    Zhao Yao had to physically pry his fingers away from his arm as he thought, ¡°When ites to feelings, I guess the Sixth Sense is not only affected by me. It¡¯s also affected by the target¡¯s personality. Lightning, this fool. He¡¯s simply too horny!¡±

    Zhao Yao finally managed to get rid of Lightning as he carefully ced him on the table. The smile remained fixed on Lightning¡¯s face as he gloated, ¡°Zhao Yao, so how was it? Am I good enough for you? Was itfortable ...¡±

    Bam!

    Zhao Yao sent a resounding p across his face, smashing his head against the table top. The impact alone almost split the table into two.

    ¡°This stupid cat. You are truly hopeless.¡±

    Zhao Yao only came to realize just how profound the subject of Sixth Sense really was with more practice. From the surface, it seemed like a gimmick aimed at controlling instincts. However, it was actually closely intertwined with an individual¡¯s emotions, rendering it extremelyplex. Even Zhao Yao found it hard to control it urately, 100% of the time.

    Hence, he devoted the rest of the day to the mastery of thisplex subject. Soon, it was already dinner time as Old Man Zhuang brought some of his friends over for their weekly sessions. Surprisingly, Inspector Ho also tagged along.

    However, all of them entered the caf¨¦ with a sullen expression pasted on their face.

    Zhao Yao sensed the walking negativity entering his caf¨¦ and asked Inspector Ho, ¡°Hey, what¡¯s the matter? Is it the constipation problem again? Have you forgotten to visit the toilet without my reminder?¡±

    Inspector Ho reciprocated with a death re directed straight at Zhao Yao as Old Man Zhuang added, ¡°Alright, Zhao Yao, stop poking fun at him. The situation in the South is aplete mess which is why he¡¯s all gloomy. This is the exact reason why I brought him over tonight, to have some fun.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, the situation in the South is still a mess?¡± As he spoke, Zhao Yao swiped his arm over the length of the table. Magically, tes of red braised pork belly, Buddha jumps over the wall, sweet and sour pork and other sumptuous delicacies appeared on the table.

    Each dish was divine on its own. However, too much of anything was bad, especially when it could easily lead to certain sicknesses.

    However, it didn¡¯t matter since everything was conjured by Zhao Yao¡¯s illusion. They could all immerse themselves in this beautiful dining experience without the constant worry tugging at them.

    Old Man Zhuang was the first to sumb to his desires as he grabbed his chopsticks and reached for a chunk of pig¡¯s trotters. This was re-created purely based on Zhao Yao¡¯s memories. Coincidentally, the pig¡¯s trotter which he had previously enjoyed came from the hands of a renowned chef previously hired by Old Ma Zhuang.

    The skin was as smooth as silk when it slid down the throat. Furthermore, it had the perfect ratio between fatty meat and muscle, rendering it the perfect pig¡¯s trotter. Old Man Zhuang couldn¡¯t help but smile from just the smell of it.

    The meat melted in his mouth as the fats and muscle fused together, morphing into an aromatic aroma dancing in his mouth.

    Old Man Zhuang continued exining to Zhao Yao while appreciating this splendid dish, ¡°A mess will be an understatement. Our forces there have been depleted by half at least.¡± He could feel the satisfaction from the food slowly slipping away from him as the nervous thoughts stuck, ¡°Talon ... hmph ... they really are invincible. God of Death¡¯s ability had far exceeded our estimations.¡±

    Inspector Ho reminded him, ¡°Old Man Zhuang, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s wise to discuss such things out in the open.¡±

    However, Old Man Zhuang shook his head and reasoned, ¡°Zhao Yao is no outsider.¡± He then fixed his gaze on Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, you did have a conflict with Talon on the web, didn¡¯t you? I know that you are strong but I¡¯m afraid you are still no match for them. Since you¡¯ve already offended them, I suggest you take extra precautions for your own safety.¡±

    ¡°Hmph,¡± Truly, Zhao Yao was not exactly clear of God of Death¡¯s power, hence he rified with him, ¡°Is his power really so strong?¡±

    ¡°It is far stronger than anything you can imagine.¡± Old Man Zhuang exined in a serious tone, ¡°Even though we don¡¯t have a 100% clear picture of his power, there are a few things which we can confirm.

    Firstly, his power can turn ordinary men into his puppets by injecting his consciousness into their bodies. In turn, thispletely suppresses the target¡¯s consciousness, rendering him absolute control over them.

    Secondly, his power is highly scble. This means that the puppet he controls can once again inject its consciousness into another target¡¯s body. Thus, his puppets can spread like the virus in our body, but there is a cap to it which exins why he has not controlled the entire poption. Currently, he can only control the influential figures in the South and the family members of the apostles.

    Thirdly, all the puppets share one consciousness and are connected seamlessly. Hence, there is nog time between their actions.¡±

    With that said, Old Man Zhuang let out a depressing sigh, ¡°We have sacrificed countless elite warriors just for these three points. We managed to kill him 15 times but because of the aforementioned points, we couldn¡¯t find his actual body which made the killings futile.

    Until now, we remainpletely clueless about his actual body. All the spreading, ruling and battles are done by the puppets.¡±

    A line began to etch across Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead as he listened to the story, ¡°This power is really troublesome. Amongst all my powers, only the illusion is somewhat useful? No, maybe the Sixth Sense is the only ability that can directly confront with his true body.¡±

    He then asked, ¡°Is all his consciousness concentrated in a single body? I mean can the actual body feel what the puppets are experiencing?¡±

    A frown appeared across Old Man Zhuang¡¯s face as he replied, ¡°We are not too sure. But, based on our findings, that should be the case.¡± However, Old Man Zhuang was not done yet as he let out another sigh, ¡°But the most annoying one is the fourth point.¡±

    He mumbled, ¡°God of Death can temporarily cancel his power, allowing the puppet to resume his usual self.¡±

    Zhao Yao knew what he was referring to.

    If God of Death simply took control over every single person¡¯s body, he would just be dered enemy to the entire world, leaving him in a precarious position.

    However, if he could cancel his power temporarily and allowed the puppets to resume their usual selves, it would ignite hope amongst the others, hence preventing a revolt.

    Seeing that Zhao Yao had finally gotten his point, Old Man Zhuang nodded his head and continued, ¡°I¡¯m happy that you finally understand my intentions, so I hope that you won¡¯t infuriate Talon for the subsequent days. The best solution is to crash your rtive¡¯s house for the time being.¡±

    Zhao Yao agreedpletely with him and thought that it might be a good time to bring his entire family over to cat ind for a short getaway. He was not afraid of either Talon or God of Death, but he could not watch over his family 24/7.

    Zhao Yao began to pack up after sending off this group of elderlies. Using the extradimensional belly gates, Zhao Yao brought the cats back to the belly.

    However, his nose was flooded with an intense stench the moment he set foot inside the belly.

    Zhao Yao opened his eyes to the sight of hundreds of cat gathered in the belly. Every single one of them was staring intently at theputer screen. Half-eaten cat food, canned food was strewn all across the ce. The air reeked of thebined stench of rotting food, toilet, and even catmint.

    Furthermore, the belly was not the most well-ventted ce. Hence, the stench only intensified from being cooped up all day.

    However, the cats seemedpletely indifferent to this putrid smell. A faint smile was evident on their faces as their fingers nimbly maneuvered the keyboard and mouse in their paws. They showed zero intent of leaving.

    Cheese, who stood behind Rice Cake, stared nkly at the tiny character moving aimlessly across the map. With a sullen pout on his face, he asked, ¡°Rice Cake, what exactly is so fun about this? Why not youe to the ind with me and I can bring you on a stroll.¡±

    However, Cheese¡¯s raging enthusiasm was met with Rice Cake¡¯s utter indifference. She continued to control her character in the forest and replied with an exasperated tone, ¡°Not interested.¡±

    Cheese was at a loss of what to do when he patted Rice Cake on her shoulder and asked, ¡°Rice Cake, doesn¡¯t your back hurt from all these sitting? You really should go out for a walk. Also, aren¡¯t your eyes sore from staring at the screen all day?¡±

    Rice Cake rolled her eyes at her brother and scoffed, ¡°Is there a limit to how annoying you can get?¡± Seeing that Cheese was about to open his mouth again, Rice Cake immediately switched on theputer next to her in an attempt to shut him up, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that these games are childish? Let me introduce you to PUBG. If you can clinch the first position in any solo round, I¡¯ll stop ying for the rest of the month.¡±

    Cheese¡¯s forehead furrowed slightly as he tried to reason, ¡°Rice Cake, I didn¡¯te here to negotiate with you.¡±

    ¡°Are you scared?¡±

    ¡°Are you scared?¡±

    How could an elder brother ever admit defeat in the hands of his sister? Furthermore, he was a confident cat. He knew that he was at most a few hours away from his first victory.

    With a smirk dancing on his lips, Cheese replied, ¡°Rice Cake, I want you to remember your words. You shall not y any moreputer games for one entire month after I win the game. You will apany me on my walks.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    Despite her unresponsiveness, Cheese was grinning from ear to ear, ¡°Finally, I have a chance to go for a walk with my beloved sister. I¡¯m going to bring her out hunting and show her just how cool I am!¡± Images of the siblings having fun under the sun shed across his mind as his eyes squinted with happiness.

    Next, Cheese began his improbable mission of achieving his first victory in PUBG. It was only with Rice Cake¡¯s help did he manage to start the game.

    Seeing his character die before him, Cheese¡¯s right eyebrow shot upwards as he mumbled, ¡°Again.¡±

    All these while, Rice Cake stood behind him and watched as he parachuted down before getting clobbered to death by his enemy. She sneered, ¡°I think you should just give up already. You simply are not cut out for this.¡±

    ¡°D*mn it.¡± Rage started to sweep through his body as Cheese thought, ¡°How can my sister look down on me? She should be idolizing me!¡± Cheese could still remember how she would look up to him when they were young. She would even scream, ¡°Cheese bother, you are so cool!¡±

    With that memory etched in his head, Cheese persevered, ¡°One more time.¡±

    ¡°Again.¡±

    ¡°Again.¡±

    ¡°D*mn it!¡± Cheese mmed his paws against the keyboard, leaving five lines of w marks behind, ¡°I shall not sleep until I win one round!¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao immediately tossed Lightning to the floor the moment he entered the belly. After all, he could not possibly spend 24 hours a day looking out for him. Zhao Yao could only shake his head in despair as he watched his body disappear off into the horizons, ¡°I¡¯ll give it to you if you can still seed with that.¡±

    Zhao Yao had purposely written the following words on Lightning¡¯s back, ¡°I love male cats.¡±

    After dispatching all the caf¨¦ cats back to the ind, Zhao Yao decided to head home and informed his family about the situation and their temporary stay at the ind.

    Naturally, his parents refused to believe a single word he uttered. Hence, Zhao Yao was left with no choice but to physically drag them to the belly. They finally believed him when they witnessed the miraculous powers on disy by the supercats.

    Thankfully, his parents were still somewhat satisfied with the ind¡¯s scenic surroundings but the same could not be said for the living conditions. Hence, Zhao Yao simply swallowed their entire house into the belly before transporting it over to the ind. Coupled with the electricity and inte provided, the ind should suffice for now.

    However, Zhao Yao had always envisioned building a luxurious mansion on the ind itself. It would befortable yet private for him to fully appreciate an ind life.

    ¡°Zhao Xue should still be in school at this time. I¡¯ll just pay her a visit there then.¡± Zhao Yao thought, ¡°After settling my family, I should devote some time to the Sixth Sense.¡±

    Zhao Yao knew just how powerful the Sixth Sense could potentially be. This was especially true with the rising threat of Talon and God of Death. The Sixth Sense might very well be his trump card.

    ...

    Meanwhile, Zhao Xue was on a random street at her university grounds with her eyes staring nkly in front of her. Opposite her stood a foreigner, who waspletely drenched in his own blood. He seemed like he was about to die anytime.

    ¡°Who are you? What were you trying to feed me with?¡±

    The foreigner¡¯s face was as pale as paper. He let out a mirthlessugh and replied, ¡°I never expected to meet such a strong apostle in Jiangmen City, maybe this is God¡¯s n after all.¡±

    Zhao Xue ran forward and grabbed the man by his shoulders. With tears shimmering in his eyes, she began to shake his shoulders violently, ¡°Tell me! What did you feed me with?¡±

    That sameughter echoed in her ears as he replied, ¡°It was actually meant for my own consumption. Never did I expect you to be on the receiving end.¡± With that said, his head crashed against the floor, dead.

    Her chest tightened with fear as she took a few steps back hurriedly.

    Soon after, she let out a piercing scream as her body copsed to the ground. She could literally feel her body melting away before she fainted from the pain.

    Subsequently, a security guard who was on his routine patrol let out a deafening scream when he noticed the body lying lifelessly on the ground. Beside the dead bodyy a set of female clothing.

    ¡°Why is there a set of clothes lying here?¡±

    ¡°The clothes are moving! There¡¯s something inside!¡±

    With his eyespletely peeled open, the security guard noticed a flurry ear popping out of the clothes.

    The two security guards instantly whipped out their torchlight and aimed it straight at Zhao Xue¡¯s clothes. A furry white cat slowly emerged from the blinding light.

    ¡°There¡¯s a cat?¡±

    With fear wing through them, the two guards slowly approached this suspicious scat. However, the cat seemed to be startled by their movement and immediately disappeared into the bushes.

    The two guards shot each other a confused look but chose not to chase after it. After all, what¡¯s the big deal with a cat emerging from a set of clothes? They had far more important assignments to attend to.

    Seeing the dead body lying on the ground, the two guards made the only logical decision ¨C call the police.

    ...

    Meanwhile, the cat continued to spring through the gardens as if its life depended on it. Finally, it plunged head first next to a huge tree with its eyes staring nkly skywards.

    ¡°Why did this happen?¡± Zhao Xue raised her hands only to see a pair of furry paws.

    She opened her mouth only to hear purring. She could not even utter a single word.

    ¡°I guess it¡¯s only natural that I cannot speak now that I¡¯ve turned into a cat.¡± Zhao Xue¡¯s cat brows locked together as she began thinking about her next course of action.

    At this juncture, she heard a series of low rumbling sounds emerging from within. A shadow slowly appeared from the bushes and it stopped immediately in front of Zhao Xue.

    Squinting her eyes together, Zhao Xue was shocked by what she saw, ¡°Carrot Head?¡±

    The cat standing directly opposite her was arge orange cat which resided in her school. Zhao Xue would often take a detour to the canteen to feed it.

    Because of all the food which the college students had kindly offered to it, the orange cat had a body full of long, luscious fur. It even sported a big, round belly, making it exceptionally adorable.

    However, there was an unprecedented viciousness in its re. It then slowly shifted it weights towards its hind feet and swang its tail from one side to another. The hostility was palpable.

    ¡°D*mn it. I think it¡¯s the territorial instincts residing in all stray cats¡¯ consciousness. Now that I have turned into a cat, she is treating me as her enemy!¡±

    Zhao Xue struggled to return to her feet but it was futile. She couldn¡¯t even exert a single ounce of strength to stand, leaving herpletely helpless.

    The strong body which she had trained using Sphynx Cat¡¯s ability had vanished in an instant. The frightening explosive power which she once had was gone. She was stuck in the body of a three months old kitten.

    ¡°There¡¯s no way I can defeat it.¡± Zhao Xue pondered, ¡°My only option is to escape.¡±

    To think that she was able to subdue the previous apostle with minimal effort and yet was held against her will by this ordinary cat.

    The mere mention of the previous apostle caused her temples to throb with rage. If not for him force feeding her the medicine, she would not have ended up in this state.

    While Zhao Xue was caught in her own thoughts, Carrot Head¡¯s deafening meow jolted her out of it as it leaped towards her.

    After a barrage of scratching and biting, Zhao Xue finally managed to limp out of the gardens. With a heavy heart, she thought, ¡°This hurts like hell. I think my hind legs arepletely torn from all that biting. I need to find a ce to rest, fast. Also ... I¡¯m so hungry.¡±

    Maybe it was because the cat was simply too frail which exined the excruciating hunger which Zhao Xue was experiencing. She waspletely devoid of energy.

    Suddenly, she noticed something in the corner of her eyes. The man looked like a pervert and exuded a bone-chilling aura. There was even a tinge of viciousness emanating from his eyes.

    ¡°Zhao Yao? What is he doing in my school?¡±

    In her eyes, Zhao Yao was still that same ordinary man. She just thought that he somehow managed to swindle some rich man¡¯s money to open his cat caf¨¦. Despite his vile temper, he was still a harmless man.

    ¡°I should just reach out to him for help.¡± Zhao Xue thought, ¡°Didn¡¯t he open a cat caf¨¦? That just mean that he loves cats, doesn¡¯t it? I should seek refuge at his ce and find a way to meet King George. He is the only one that can save me now.¡±

    With her mind decided, she approached Zhao Yao with her remaining strength. Halfway into her journey, she suddenly felt a pair of tiny hands scooping her off the ground.

    ¡°Hmph?¡±

    Zhao Xue waspletely bbergasted when she swept her head back. It was a young girl who was at most eight years old. She was overwhelmed with happiness as she eximed, ¡°Tiny kitty!¡± The girl was grinning from ear to ear as she cradled Zhao Xue in her arms. There was no way Zhao Xue could break free regardless of how much she struggled.

    The girl screamed, ¡°Look! There¡¯s a kitty cat!¡±

    Instantly, four young boys rushed over with their eyes staring expectantly in Zhao Xue¡¯s direction.

    Her heart sank immediately, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that I¡¯ve ended up in the hands of these kids?¡± At the same time, she began to scream, ¡°Help me! Someone!¡± However, it was futile. She couldn¡¯t utter a single human word. All that was heard were meows and purrs.

    Zhao Xue could only watch as her only source of hope disappeared before her eyes. Suddenly, a voice rang from behind her, ¡°The five of you, can you return me my cat?¡±

    One of the boys who sported a buzz cut retorted, ¡°Why should I do that? We found this cat first!¡±

    The kids turned around only to see this scary, weird-looking man who started sniggering, ¡°Hmph, in order to deal with you kids, I especially devised a special technique. Behold my spell!¡±

    The elementary school kids stood rooted to the ground as a deluge of information flooded their mind.

    What was the product of adding 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ... + 100?

    Mr. Zhang wrote four distinct integers on the whiteboard. By randomly adding three of the integers together, you would derive 45, 46, 49 and 52.What was the smallest integer amongst them?

    How could you arrange 10 coins in 5 rows while ensuring that there were at least 4 coins in each row?

    This was a technique Zhao Yao had devised after Porn Tsunami. It was created solely against primary school kids.

    By digesting hundreds and thousands of questions from every avable assessment book, Zhao Yao had condensed the questions into one which would strike fear in everyone¡¯s minds.

    ¡°Ah! So many questions! So many!¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t do it! I simply cannot manage!¡±

    A series of screams emerged from the students as they ran off in all directions. They even casually threw the cat on the ground as they made their escape.

    Zhao Yao nodded his head contently as he observed the results of the mental battle. He rubbed the back of his hand against his forehead and thought, ¡°Hmph, I guess this technique is still rather effective.¡±

    He then cocked his head towards Zhao Xue and said, ¡°Alright, don¡¯t worry it¡¯s over. Anyway, stop mixing around with these elementary school kids.¡±

    Zhao Yao only came to her rescue when he heard a cat¡¯s screaming amidst all the kids¡¯ughter.

    On one end, he was afraid that the kids might identally hurt the supercat. On the other hand, he was afraid that the opposite would happen.

    Because she was unaffected by Zhao Yao¡¯s illusion, Zhao Xue had no clue as to how he managed to scare the kids away. Still, she was overwhelmed with emotions when she saw her brother standing immediately in front of her.

    Zhao Xue continued meowing at her brother but all he managed to hear was a string or words such as help and I. These words couldn¡¯t even form a proper, logical sentence.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead furrowed slightly as he thought, ¡°I guess she¡¯s still too young to know how to speak properly.¡± After all, this was not the first time Zhao Yao had faced this problem. Due to their young age, some supercats had yet to develop mature cognitive skills and hence could notmunicate effectively.

    However, Zhao Xue continued to scream at him, ¡°Zhao Yao! It¡¯s me! Your sister! Zhao Xue! Can you hear me?¡± Due to her poor grasp of the cat body, her mastery over supercat¡¯smunicative skills was far from adequate. Thus, Zhao Yao had no idea what she was trying to say.

    However, Zhao Yao noticed the injuries on her tiny frame as his brows locked together, ¡°Are you hurt? Did a big cat do this to you?¡± Zhao Yao could only shut his eyes with regret and exined, ¡°I¡¯m sorry but I really have no time for you.¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at his phone before continuing, ¡°I¡¯m still waiting for that silly sister of mine. If you are serious about joining me, I guess you can wait here next to me.¡±

    The tiny cat shot him a death re, ¡°Who are you calling your silly sister?¡±

    Zhao Yao sent Zhao Xue another message before mumbling to himself, ¡°Why is she not replying me? Did something happen? Did she meet some bad guy along the way?¡±

    ¡°At least you still know to worry for me.¡± The little cat retorted with anger raging through her, ¡°Come to think of it, why did hee here to meet me? But I can¡¯t return to my phone now. If he can¡¯t find me, will he go crazy? Will he tell my parents about it? Will he inform the police? Will this be the next hot news? The missing college girl?¡±

    Just the thought of it caused Zhao Xue¡¯s brain to explode with frustration, ¡°D*mn it! Why can¡¯t I just turn back? If Zhao Yao can¡¯t find me, he might even talk to my ssmates and teachers. This matter is bound to escte ...¡±

    Just when the little cat was immersed in her own slippery slope thoughts, she noticed Zhao Yao shoving his phone back into his pocket. Images of Zhao Xue annihting any possible assants crossed Zhao Yao¡¯s mind. Hence, he simply shrugged his shoulders and whispered, ¡°Since she¡¯s not replying me ... forget it. It¡¯s the bad guys¡¯ bad luck if they tried attacking her. I shall just find her some other day.¡±

    Those words were like arrows shot straight through the cat¡¯s fragile ss heart. Instinctively, she sank her teeth into Zhao Yao¡¯s ankle only for him to kick her away, ¡°Hey, why are you biting me? Do you even know the rules? I guess I need to bring you to the hospital for a check-up before teaching you some basic rules.¡± Then, he bent next to her and started tickling her chin.

    Zhao Xue swept her head around to evade the ¡®attack¡¯, but it was to no avail. Zhao Yao even started tough, ¡°Hide? Where are you trying to hide? Let me tell you the first rule in bing my cat is that you¡¯re not allowed to struggle no matter how much I touch you.¡±

    With that said, he extended his finger and ran it through her chin, chest, and belly.

    Zhao Xue was fuming with anger, ¡°This guy! How can he! Ah! Wait till I revert to a human, I will ...¡±

    After his initial scolding, Zhao Yao then brought her to Starry Starry Pet Hospital. The little cat continued to struggle mightily but it was futile. All she could do was meow.

    Suddenly, the sound of the police siren began to sound from behind. Zhao Xue swept her head around and immediately recognized it to be where the foreigner¡¯s corpse was.

    A flurry of thoughts shed through her head, ¡°How dare that guy force feed me a drug that turns humans into cats! He¡¯s definitely no ordinary man. Now that he¡¯s dead, there¡¯s bound to be people investigating the incident. They will definitely track it to me since my wallet and student ID is left at the scene!¡±

    An rm rang in her head instantly, ¡°D*mn it, if they start investigating, what will happen to Zhao Yao, dad, and mum?¡± With this vexing thought in her head, she started to struggle even more violently and screamed, ¡°Zhao Yao! Stop! Don¡¯t go to the vet! I¡¯m telling you that you are in a dangerous position!¡±

    Sadly, Zhao Yao could not understand a single word she uttered and made his way to the hospital. Dr. Liu was pleasantly surprised by Zhao Yao¡¯s visit and weed him, ¡°Hi! It¡¯s been a long time since you werest here. Is that another stray cat?¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head and replied, ¡°Help me do the usual checks. If there¡¯s nothing wrong, I¡¯ll be adopting her.¡±

    Dr. Liu reached her arm towards the little cat as a line etched between her brows, ¡°Why are there scratches all over her? These are all bite marks. Poor fe. Does she have a name?¡±

    ¡°Name?¡± Zhao Yao picked his nose and thought, ¡°Hmph ... since I found her while looking for Zhao Xue, she shall be Zhao Xue!¡±

    Meow! For some stupid reason, Zhao Yao actually got her name correct but it only made Zhao Xue even more furious.

    Dr. Liu was rather perplexed by the choice of name but proceeded for the registration before the routine checks.

    As usual, while Dr. Liu tried to stick the thermometer into her butt for her rectal temperature, she began to struggle extremely vigorously. There was no way Dr. Liu could do it alone.

    ¡°Zhao Yao,e and help me.¡±

    Zhao Yao, who was absorbed in his phone game retorted, ¡°Which doctor would ask her patient for help? Isn¡¯t that the job of your nurse?¡±

    ¡°The nurse is on leave today. Zhao Yao, can you just do me a favor and hold her down?¡±

    Zhao Yao sauntered towards them before pressing his coarse palm against the tiny cat, ¡°Hurry up and stick it in already.¡±

    This time, the cat waspletely restrained when Dr. Liu thrust the thermometer into her. She reminded Zhao Yao, ¡°Press her down and don¡¯t let her move.¡±

    Following the injection of the thermometer, a haunting meow echoed in the room.

    Zhao Yao sniggered, ¡°Haha, Zhao Xue is this your first time taking it from the back?¡± He nced at the cat¡¯s backside andmented, ¡°Oh, you¡¯re a female.¡±

    The little cat shot Zhao Yao a death re as tears shimmered in her eyes.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s body shuddered when he made eye contact with that cat. He was surprised by her hostility, ¡°What a fierce aura by such a tiny cat.¡± He continued pressing down on her body andforted her, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, this is normal. It is a rite of passage for all domesticated cats.¡±

    After the rectal temperature examination, the cat finally gave up any attempts to escape. There was no more struggles regardless of how Dr. Liu flipped her body around.

    After the body examination and ensuring that she was perfectly healthy, Zhao Yao then brought her to a secluded alley. He stretched open his mouth to absorb her into the belly.

    However, this action scared the living hell out of Zhao Xue as she began to struggle frantically.

    ¡°What the f*ck! What is this pervert trying to do to me?¡± This time, Zhao Xue¡¯s face had already gonepletely white, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that he likes to eat cats? And he likes them raw?¡±

    Boohoo! Boohoo!

    ¡°No! Don¡¯t eat me!¡±

    ¡°I am your sister!¡±

    The little cat continued to struggle relentlessly and sent her paws swiping in all directions. Zhao Yao thought, ¡°I guess I can¡¯t absorb them if they¡¯re unwilling themselves.¡±

    The extradimensional gates had been fixed at his apartment, caf¨¦, and ind. Preferably, they should remain in their positions. Hence, if Zhao Yao wasn¡¯t at any of the three locations, he had to absorb the cats into the belly through his mouth. For that, the cats themselves must be willing to.

    Thus, Zhao Yao decided to expel Dust Ball out from his mouth.

    Fear hit her like icy water when she saw a ck kitten materialize out of her brother¡¯s mouth. Zhao Xue stood dumbfoundedly as her jaw mmed against the ground, ¡°This is disgusting! What is going on?¡±

    Suddenly, an illusion had enveloped Zhao Xue. Instantaneously, she felt her surroundings immersed in pitch darkness. There seemed to be countless fearsome objects lurking in the dark, leaving one tiny ray of light ahead of her.

    Instinctively, she began to walk towards the light. Instead, her vision was clouded by a momentary haziness before she found herself in a vastly different ce.

    The world in front of her was basked in a beautiful, warm white light. Inside it sat at least 200puters with one cat sitting opposite each of them. Zhao Xue began to rub her eyes violently in an attempt to jolt herself out of this dream.

    Suddenly, she was alerted to amotion in the far corner of her eyes. It was none other than an angry Matcha.

    In a moment of rage, Matcha mmed his phone against the ground before sending a barrage of punches and kicks against a maroon Dragon Li. He purposely rammed his foot against the defenseless cat¡¯s butt and threatened, ¡°What the hell! How dare you kill me?¡±

    The maroon Dragon Li whimpered, ¡°Sir George, you told us to give it our all and the winner will be promoted to be your personal guard.¡±

    ¡°I...¡± Caught off guard, Matcha simply responded by mming his paws against his face and retorted, ¡°You r*tard, can¡¯t you even read between the lines? Do you even remember what I taught you?¡±

    Immediately, Airne rushed over with Matcha¡¯s favorite tidbit hanging by his lips, ¡°Sir George, do not lose your temper over these stupid fools! It¡¯s bad for your health and it isn¡¯t worth it!¡±

    Zhao Xue waspletely bbergasted by this scene, ¡°I can actually understand what the supercats are saying? King George is stronger than I have expected. I didn¡¯t foresee him to have so many subordinates!¡±

    At this juncture, Matcha noticed Zhao Yao¡¯s arrival as a flicker of excitement shed across his eyes. He scoffed, ¡°Watch and learn.¡± Then, his body flew towards Zhao Yao like a bullet which just exited the pistol¡¯s chamber, straight into Zhao Yao¡¯s embrace.

    Halfway in his flight, Matcha already started screaming, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao! I miss you so much!¡±

    Seeing the flying piece of fats, Zhao Yao immediately shot it a disdainful re. This was followed by another p which sent Matcha rolling across the ce.

    However, the show must go on. Matcha began to crawl towards Zhao Yao beforending a light peck on his foot, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, I¡¯m facing some budgetary issues with the royal cat guards. Could you spare me some money?¡±

    Zhao Yao could only roll his eyes as he observed Matcha ¡®s ridiculous act. However, he still took out his phone and replied, ¡°You¡¯ve already finished spending all the money I gave you? Every day, I switch on my phone to news of you drawing money from your bank ount. Do you know how much I could do with this fortune I¡¯ve given you?¡±

    Matcha¡¯s body froze for a split second as he screamed in his head, ¡°That sly b*stard! He actually activated notification of cash withdrawal on his phone?¡±

    However, he resumed his world-ss act immediately by pouncing onto his calf and cried, ¡°Zhao Yao! This is all done in the name of the royal cat guards! How can I legitimize my position as the alpha of royal cat guards without a nice-looking skin on Mobile Legends? No one will look up to me then! However, it¡¯s not about my status. It¡¯s about yours!¡±

    Zhao Yao responded with another mirthlessugh.

    However, Matcha was relentless, ¡°Since assuming office in the royal cat guards, I¡¯ve never enjoyed more than four hours of sleep each day. Every day is spent in brainstorming for solutions to get the group together and improve our overall capability. This is but my feeble attempt to contribute to you, Zhao Yao.¡±

    ¡°Oh,¡± Zhao Yao shook his head in despair before whipping out his phone, ¡°So how much do you need?¡±

    ¡°RMB 500,000.¡±

    Bam! A resounding p echoed across the belly before Matcha changed his statement, ¡°RMB 500.¡±

    Seeing Zhao Yao¡¯s finger darting across his screen, Matcha shot a thumbs-up gesture towards his cat guards. Via their shared consciousness, he exined, ¡°Do you see this? RMB 500 acquired with just a simple few words.¡±

    The entire royal cat guards stared in shock as the event unfolded and gasped, ¡°Sir George is truly a cat of his own kind. Manipting his words to pander to each individual¡¯s unique characteristics is truly an art that few has truly mastered.¡±

    Airne nodded his head violently and ordered, ¡°I want all of you to learn from this prime example! If you can just learn 20% or even 10% from Sir George, I assure you that you would enjoy wealth that no one could never imagine.¡±

    As Roly Poly¡¯s undercover, Baozi had infiltrated Matcha¡¯s royal cat guards in an attempt to extract valuable information. Hence, he too began to expound on Airne¡¯s words, ¡°His words are like a message from God himself. From now on, I¡¯ll take down every single thing that Sir George says and read it aloud before I go to bed.¡±

    Old Cat observed Matcha wriggling like a caterpir at Zhao Yao¡¯s foot and sighed, ¡°Just another group of sycophants. However under Zhao Yao¡¯s rule maybe that¡¯s what it takes to seed.¡±

    A delighted smile danced on Matcha¡¯s lips as he noticed all the faces of astonishment, respect surrounding him. He then shot Zhao Yao a sly re and sniggered, ¡°Meowhahaha. What a gullible old man. It¡¯s only a matter of time before I Matcha shall squeeze you dry of every single dor and cent! From that day on, you¡¯ll be useless.¡±

    With the fresh RMB 500 in his pocket, Matcha returned to his pack with a spring in his steps. Meanwhile, Zhao Xue was there to watch the entire episode unfold.

    Just seconds ago, Matcha was the all omnipotent King George. Now, he was simply a stupid sycophant sucking up to Zhao Yao. Her head had gonepetently nk.

    ¡°What the hell just happened?¡±

    ¡°Why did it happen?¡±

    With her brows furrowed together, Zhao Xue¡¯s head cocked towards Zhao Yao as she thought, ¡°What did this guy do to King George? What the hell is happening in this world?¡± Suddenly, she was inundated with millions of questions in her head.

    Zhao Yao simply left her to do whatever she wanted to the moment they were in the belly. He then found a spot to rest and started to practice Sixth Sense.

    It was aplicated subject which involvedplex yet subtle human emotions. Zhao Yao recognized just how profound it was the more he trained.

    However, he was distracted by Sphynx Cat who was in another corner of the belly.

    Currently, Sphynx Cat was under the influence of 10 times the ordinary gravitational force. Hence, the weight of the humongous dumbbell attached to his tail had increased to 6000kg! However, his movement was aplete blur to Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes. To Sphynx Cat, this was just a warmup.

    Zhao Yao looked towards Sphynx Cat and started to cast Sixth Sense secretly. He chanted, ¡°I¡¯m hungry. I need to eat. I¡¯m so famished!¡±

    Immediately, Sphynx Cat stopped in his tracks with a line etched across his forehead. Joy bubbled up inside Zhao Yao as he thought, ¡°Did it seed?¡±

    Instead, Sphynx Cat simply tossed the dumbbell on the ground before copsing on the ground. He let out a huge yawn andined, ¡°I¡¯m sozy. I don¡¯t wanna train anymore.¡±

    ¡°Ahhh, resting feels so much morefortable. What¡¯s the purpose of all these training?¡±

    ¡°Anyway, Zhao Yao can help me upgrade and improve my strength. I shall just wait for that instead.¡±

    Zhao Yao gritted his teeth and immediately retracted the illusion. Shortly after that, Sphynx Cat resumed his training, ¡°D*mn it. Why did I mix my own emotions into it again? This Sixth Sense is too difficult! Just a tiny fragment of mistake will render it aplete failure, resulting in all sorts of weird results!¡±

    <h4>Chapter 506: Cat Ind Orientation</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Failure after failure, Zhao Yao would continue to give his all for every Sixth Sense attempt. However, a subtle change in his emotions would result in a world of differences in the oues. Hence, a different result was achieved with every try making the sess rate extremely slim.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Xue continued to wander around the belly, observing the different cats residing inside.

    Obviously, her attention gravitated towards Matcha and the tens of cats which he led in the royal cat guards. The phones in their paws were like an extension of their body as they adeptly maneuvered their characters in Mobile Legends.

    ¡°Zhao Yao this fe, I didn¡¯t expect him to know so many supercats. Furthermore, King George treats him with such ... respect? Why is this so?¡±

    All along, Zhao Xue had treated her brother as a perfectly ordinary person. Originally, she thought that the heavy responsibly of keeping her family safe rested on her shoulders. Seeing everything around her, she could not help but ponder, ¡°Is Zhao Yao also an apostle?¡±

    Next, she noticed the muscr Sphynx Cat jumping around with that monstrous dumbbell attached to his tail.

    Sphynx Cat¡¯s speed was insane. Even with her cat eyes, Zhao Xue couldn¡¯t even see what was going on in detail. It was just a blur as his body appeared in one corner before disappearing into another. With every jump, a huge gust of wind was blown across his surroundings.

    Seeing this amazing disy of strength, Zhao Xue waspletely overwhelmed, ¡°This strength is far stronger than what I could achieve when I was in my human form. Is this guy the boss here?¡±

    Suddenly, another furless cat came up to her and started sniffing, ¡°Are you a neer?¡±

    Zhao Xue immediately cast a guarded look at Lightning before taking one tiny step backward, ¡°And you are?¡±

    ¡°Haha, I am Lightning.¡± Lightning then wagged his paws in Sphynx Cat¡¯s direction and boasted, ¡°That one over there is my subordinate.¡±

    Zhao Xue¡¯s heart nearly stopped when she heard that. However, there could be some credibility to his word since both cats were furless.

    ¡°Are you stronger than him?¡±

    ¡°Hmph, this fe here only managed to acquire 30% of what I know.¡± Lightning continued tough smugly, ¡°Is this your first day here? Let me bring you around and introduce the ce to you.¡±

    Zhao Xue pondered, ¡°He seems weird but it¡¯s definitely better to have someone experienced bring me around,¡± Hence, she nodded her head and agreed.

    Hoy bubbled up in Lightning when he swung his paws over Zhao Xue¡¯s shoulders. However, Zhao Xue managed to evade his intrusive act and thought, ¡°Why do I get a weird feeling with this cat?¡±

    Lightning waspletely unfazed and continued to smile, ¡°This is the country of dreams and it¡¯sprised of supercats. The forces here could be divided into 7 parties that are scattered across this ce and our external cat ind.¡±

    Zhao Xue was seized with shock when she heard his ims, ¡°A country of dreams? Supercats have already constructed their very own sovereign nation?¡± She continued by asking, ¡°What are the seven forces?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll apany you to visit all seven of them. Let¡¯s start with this.¡± Lightning swiped his paw forward and led the way, ¡°Oh yes, how rude of me. May I have your name?¡±

    Zhao Xue immediately noticed the words, ¡®I am gay¡¯ printed across Lightning¡¯s back and could finally breath a sigh of relief, ¡°Thank god, for a moment I thought he was trying to woo me. Luckily, he is gay! I guess I¡¯ve mistaken him. Speaking of that, I didn¡¯t know that supercats could turn gay too.¡±

    Hearing Lightning¡¯s question, Zhao Xue replied politely, ¡°I¡¯m Zhao Xue.¡±

    Lightning froze and turned his head around with a startled expression spread across his face, ¡°What did you just say? Zhao Xue? What¡¯s your rtionship with Zhao Yao?¡±

    This was the first supercat she had spoken to in this foreignnd. Naturally, Zhao Xue could not divulge the truth. Hence, she replied nonchntly, ¡°Zhao Yao found me in the streets and gave me this name.¡±

    ¡°Oh,¡± Lightning¡¯s breathing finally resumed before he continued the conversation, ¡°Hmph, why did he give you a human name?¡±

    In the midst of his training, Sphynx Cat noticed Lightning¡¯s back from afar and immediately took a brief pause. He was overwhelmed with shock and thought, ¡°What a brave cat. Maybe I should talk to him.¡±

    Meanwhile, it was Zhao Xue¡¯s turn to ask some questions, ¡°What is Zhao Yao¡¯s status in this ce? Are you afraid of him?¡±

    Lightning quickly replied, ¡°Me? Afraid of him? That¡¯s impossible!¡± He turned around and stole a nce at Zhao Yao before he dared to continue, ¡°He is just a useless security guard. His only job is to transport cats from the outside world into here. He is nothing.¡±

    ¡°Then why did King George ord him with so much respect just now?¡±

    ¡°King George? Are you referring to Matcha? That guy is shameless. Anyone can be his dad as long as they pay him sufficiently.¡±

    Zhao Xue seemed to be immersed in her own thoughts before she decided to continue prying, ¡°Oh yes, you have not exined to me about the seven forces residing here.¡±

    Coincidentally, two cats approached Matcha with their eyes glued to the phone screen and their arms waving frantically across their heads. Lightning took this chance to exin, ¡°These are members of the royal cat guards, one of the seven forces. Their boss is that fat cat, Matcha. They¡¯re just a bunch of Mobile Legends addicts. A bunch of good for nothing.¡±

    Zhao Xue nodded her head as her eyes nced towards King George. Given his strength, it was only natural for him to be the leader behind one of the seven forces.

    Lightning then pointed his paw in Sphynx Cat¡¯s direction before continuing, ¡°He is the boss of the fighting department. All they know is to fight. They are just a bunch of hooligans who think with their fists instead of their brains.¡±

    Lightning continued to exin, ¡°Hmph, there are also representatives from the royal cat police force ...¡± Then, he pointed his finger towards Caesar who had a phone hanging by his mouth. He was busy taking photos of Matcha engrossed in Mobile Legends.

    ¡°All these cats from the royal cat police force only know how to take videos of others, secretly recording others¡¯ deepest darkest secrets. They are truly the worst amongst the seven.¡±

    Then, Lightning directed Zhao Xue¡¯s attention to rows and rows of catmint with a disdainful scorn hanging on his face, ¡°Do you see all these catmints? This entire patch is owned by that farmer over there. She is the only cat working in the entire department and is part of the seven forces.¡±

    ¡°Just one cat alone can be a part of the legendary seven forces? And she upies such arge piece ofnd!¡± This had piqued Zhao Xue¡¯s curiosity as she rified, ¡°Does this mean that she¡¯s really strong?¡±

    Lightning nodded his head in response, ¡°You can say that. Look around you, this entire space that we are living in is all inside the belly of hers.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± The space lying in front of her easily exceeded 800 square meters. Coupled with the fact that she was now a tiny cat, the space was huge, ¡°I can¡¯t believe that such power even exists. It¡¯s like a fairy tale.¡±

    Suddenly, a series of screams echoed from another corner of the belly, attracting Zhao Xue¡¯s attention. She turned her head around to the scene of a beautiful ragdoll emerging gracefully from a pack of cats. Her arrival sparked an uproar amongst all the cats in attendance.

    ¡°It¡¯s Elizabeth!¡±

    ¡°Elizabeth is so adorable!¡±

    ¡°She¡¯s a living angel!¡±

    Elizabeth weed her fans¡¯ praises with a gentle smile before biding them goodnight.

    Those words were as good as steroids injected into the cats¡¯ bloodstream as they exploded with excitement.

    Seeing their disgusting behavior, Elizabeth could not help but whisper to herself, ¡°This group of good for nothing. Evidently, my approach to stardom was wrong right at the start. I shouldn¡¯t have streamed for humans. Instead, I should have focused on these useless fools. From today onwards, I¡¯ll start streaming from the ind. A few stupid conversations and a few stupid poses will definitely bring in lots of cash for me.¡±

    Zhao Xue scrutinized the ragdoll before her and asked, ¡°Who is that?¡±

    A twinkle of arrogance shed across Lightning¡¯s eyes as he answered, ¡°That is my wife, Elizabeth. She¡¯s also one of the leaders of the seven forces. The boss of the caf¨¦.¡±

    A ck cat which happened to hear Lightning¡¯s preposterous words screamed, ¡°What the f*ck are you saying? Elizabeth is my wife!¡±

    Zhao Xue could only shake her head in utter despair when she witnessed this childish behavior among them. She even shot Lightning a condescending re.

    Suddenly, a beam of golden ray fell on the belly, illuminating the entire ce.

    A gargantuan dragon head emerged from the center of the belly, leaving Zhao Xuepletely dazed.

    The dragon head was easily the size of a sedan car. tes of shiny golden scales adorned the menacing head. It looked exactly like those mystical dragons described in western legends.

    Slowly, the dragon stretched open its monstrous mouth as a deafening roar swept across the ce. The sound waves were so intense that you could even see the vibration of the molecules with your naked eye as arge gust of wind enveloped the belly.

    ¡°Cheese, what the hell have you been doing? You¡¯ve been gone for the entire day!¡±

    Cheese¡¯s eyes were barely open but you could still see the burst vessels in them. His eyes darted away from his PUBG gamey temporarily as he retorted, ¡°Sage, I¡¯m simply apanying my sister! I have not seen her for years! Can¡¯t I just spend one day apanying her in her favorite activity?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll forget about today then.¡± The tri-headed dragon scoffed, ¡°But I¡¯m warning you. Do not miss tomorrow¡¯s meeting.¡±

    By now, Zhao Xue¡¯s entire jaw was already resting against the ground as she stared at this monster in disbelief, ¡°This ... this ... this ...¡±

    Lightning, which stood by her side, nodded his head and rified, ¡°I know, I know. Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s just a tri-headed golden dragon. It¡¯s rare but it¡¯s normal.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no such creature in this world!¡± Zhao Xue screamed, ¡°What kind of superpower is this? What kind of monster supercat turned into this?¡±

    Lightning answered, ¡°The supercat behind this is referred to as Cat Sage. He too is one of the leader of the seven forces, the captain behind the defense department.¡± Then, Lightning continued leading Zhao Xue towards the extradimensional gates which was hiding behind the dragon¡¯s head.

    At this position, they could finally see the humongous dragon in its entirety. One of its head was stuck inside the belly (through the gate) while two others were resting outside, beyond the gate leading into the belly. Zhao Xue was barely able to breathe when this scene registered in her head.

    She began mumbling to herself, ¡°Royal cat guards, royal cat police force, cat ntation, cat caf¨¦, fighting department, defense department ...¡± Images of the muscr Sphynx Cat and the fat King George shed across her head, finally culminating with the image of that daunting tri-headed dragon. The strength of cat nation had far surpassed what she had previously thought possible.

    As the memories of the six departments flooded her mind, Zhao Xue suddenly recalled thest remaining one, ¡°Hey, you told me that there were seven forces in this ce. But you only mentioned six of them, what about the seventh?¡±

    Lightning raised his head with a smug smile spread across it, ¡°That will be me.¡±

    ¡°You? Didn¡¯t you say that you were the Sphynx Cat¡¯s master? Doesn¡¯t that make you part of the fighting department?¡±

    Lightning tried his best to surpass hisughter as he exined, ¡°How can a mere fighting department amodate me? To tell you the truth, I¡¯m actually the descendent to the throne, the one true heir to thend of Pas¡¯s cat, the leader of the furless troops. The Pas¡¯s cat empire is the seventh force.¡±

    ¡°Pas¡¯s cat empire?¡± Zhao Xue¡¯s voice trembled, ¡°You mean they have already established their very own nation as well?¡±

    Lightning replied smugly, ¡°That is the case. We have established a strong and huge nation on the very grasnds which we grew up in. We have defeated the bobcats, lynx and all remaining cat rtives to establish our position at the very top. As the ruler of this magnificent empire, I guess that makes me a cat above all others. They even erected a 20 meters tall statue for me.¡±

    Zhao Xue could hear her heart pounding rapidly against her chest, ¡°I can¡¯t imagine an entire army, let alone a nation made up of Pas¡¯s cat. I thought they were just a bunch of emojis.¡±

    Lightning noticed Zhao Xue¡¯s bbergasted expression and pounced on the opportunity to reach his paw towards her, ¡°How about it. Would you like to visit my humble abode tonight?¡±

    Zhao Xue instantly took a few steps back with a guarded look on her face, ¡°Thanks but no thanks.¡±

    ¡°Hey, hey, what¡¯s the hurry?¡± Lightning tried to dy Zhao Xue by throwing his body in her way. However, his eyes immediately locked on to another female cat in the distance.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Xue¡¯s mind waspletely absorbed in measuring the true strength of this unbelievable nation.

    ¡°Supercats have developed such sophisticated skills to develop such a strong organization? And Zhao Yao is part of it?¡± Zhao Xue recalled her bother that was permanently stationed next to the extradimensional gate and thought, ¡°He might just be an insignificant security guard. However, a guard for such a secretive organization makes him someone, doesn¡¯t it? Maybe, it¡¯s time for me to stop worrying about his safety.¡±

    Finally, Zhao Xue could take a stroll on the ind in peace. It was a far cry from the belly with much less noise and fewer cats.

    ¡°It¡¯s actually quite a beautiful ind.¡±

    Suddenly, the sound of a human voice echoed in her ears. Instinctively, she chased after it and saw her parents enjoying themselves at this beautiful beach. She was at aplete loss for words for she had no idea what was going on.

    ¡°Why are my parents here? Wait, maybe Zhao Yao was the one who brought them here. Oh yes, is that why Zhao Yao appeared at my school this evening? Was he there for me as well?¡±

    Finally, Zhao Xue could breathe a sigh of relief, ¡°In this case, I no longer have to worry about their safety. Thank goodness, it¡¯s truly a blessing in disguise. Hmph ...¡± Zhao Xue¡¯s eyes started to scrutinize her tiny furry paws and thought, ¡°It¡¯s time to find out what exactly happened to my body. However, I should contact them before I dive into this.¡±

    The memory of her rectal temperature taking process remained freshly imprinted in her head. Hence, she would never let Zhao Yao learn about her identity for now. Meanwhile, she would investigate her situation on her own. If this failed, she would then resort to informing Zhao Yao and Matcha.

    Hence, Zhao Xue returned to the belly and used theputer terminal to make contact with Zhao Yao and Matcha, informing her absence from future training because of her examinations.

    Following that, she applied for leave from her school even though she had no idea if they would ept her reason.

    ...

    For the subsequent days, Zhao Yao continued to train his control over Sixth Sense. However, Old Man Zhuang¡¯s expression looked worse every time he visited his caf¨¦.

    Even though he was clueless about the specifics but Zhao Yao knew that the South hadpletely fallen to Talon from the gossips spreading on the forum.

    Seeing Old Man Zhuang¡¯s hideous frown, Zhao Yao could no longer suppress his urge to ask, ¡°How is it? Has the situation gotten worse than before?¡±

    Old Man Zhuang sighed, ¡°The worst thing is not that we have lost but that we cannot even muster a single fight against them.¡±

    It¡¯s not that they couldn¡¯t defeat them or that they had suffered an embarrassing loss. It was that they had failed to retaliate even once throughout this entire time.

    All the apostles nted in the South had not fought a single battle.

    There were no confrontations, no rebellions.

    No one volunteered to fight against them!

    No one came out to dere that they were part of Talon!

    Hence, everyone just resumed as per normal, doing what they did every day as if nothing was wrong.

    Even though Lin Chen knew that the South had beenpletely corroded by Talon¡¯s forces and that their influence continued to increase exponentially, there was no way to differentiate a friend from a foe.

    Old Man Zhuang gritted his teeth and exined, ¡°Talon those b*stards! They don¡¯t even give us a chance to fight!¡±

    Another old man sighed, ¡°God of Death¡¯s ability is scary, so scary. Originally, I thought we could expose his weaknesses after identifying his abilities. However, it simply led to more disappointment and despair.¡±

    Another man added, ¡°We have toe to a decision soon. If this continues, the entire world will fall to them.¡±

    The tension in the air was palpable as the elderlies shot each other a concerned gaze.

    Zhao Yao was listening to their conversation as worry gnawed at him. Initially, he nned to quicken his Sixth Sense training. Even though he could dispatch Old Cat to brainwash Talon, Zhao Yao did not trust him for such an important mission. After all, there was no room for error. He would rather depend on his own ability against God of Death.

    ¡°Instead of solely depending on my training, I can also bank on Elizabeth¡¯s next upgrade.¡±

    Hence Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes darted towards Elizabeth¡¯s page on his BOOk. It read Elizabeth: lv7(1500/20000).

    ¡°It¡¯s time to save everyone.¡±

    On this very night, all the supercats and apostles would be reminded of the headless horseman¡¯s power.

    <h4>Chapter 508: The Prison</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    ¡°The brainless one is back!¡±

    A stray cat let out a haunting scream which reverberated down the entire underground tunnel. Immediately, tens of supercats and apostles screamed in fear before scattering off in all directions.

    The stray cat smirked as it watched the frantic apostles and supercats ran off in fear. Then, it proceeded towards the object meant for the exchange.

    However, it suddenly felt a shiver running down its spine. It swept its head around to see a shadow at the opposite end of the tunnel.

    ¡°Who is that?¡± The cat demanded as it mustered its most menacing snarl, ¡°Come out! I can see you!¡±

    Bit by bit, a human emerged from the shadows. It was draped in a silk ck cloak as he replied coolly, ¡°I¡¯m not brainless. I¡¯m the headless horseman.¡±

    ¡°Brainless!¡± The cat retorted before its body split into tens of shadows and disappeared in all directions.

    Immediately, Zhao Yao reacted. With the use of timefreeze and his enormous strength, all ten of the shadows vapourised simultaneously, leaving the cat struggling in Zhao Yao¡¯s hands.

    The stray cat continued to struggle relentlessly as his trembling voice echoed in reply, ¡°Headless ... I¡¯m begging you. Don¡¯t help me. I really don¡¯t need your help.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes squinted into a hard line as his calm voice echoed in the tunnel, ¡°For the past month, were you the one who hide behind my name and used it tomit atrocious crimes, taking things that do not belong to you?¡±

    After nabbing this imposter, Zhao Yaoted another 10*2 experience points for himself. However, that same frown remained hanging on his face. Obviously, he wasn¡¯t too happy.

    ¡°Who the hell is that b*stard who changed my title to brainless? If I ever find him, I¡¯ll make sure hees crawling to me for forgiveness.¡±

    After letting out another sigh, Zhao Yao directed his attention back to the mission panel.

    BOOK: lv (2402/2000).

    Elizabeth: lv7 (00/20000)

    ¡°D*mn it! After devoting one entire day to all these missions and all I managed to earn was a couple of hundred of experience points? I¡¯m still so far away from Elizabeth¡¯s next upgrade.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s brows were tightly knitted together as hemented, ¡°I guess I only have myself to me. Because of all the negative news surrounding me, Jiangmen City is currently flooded with all those pesky thieves. No one dares to evenmit any legit crimes.¡±

    Subsequently, Zhao Yao spent the rest of the night as a vignte of his city. He ran around offering help to all those in need and reported to work with two humongous eye bags the following day.

    Zhao Yao could hardly keep his eyes open the entire day until Old Man Zhuang and Inspector Ho appeared at night. Immediately, his eyes were peeled open and fixed straight on Inspector Ho¡¯s shiny bald head.

    Above the bald spot was the long-awaited golden exmation mark floating above it. This exmation mark, in particr, was impossible to miss. It was easily three timesrger than the usual ones Zhao Yao had seen.

    ¡°Such a big exmation mark? What kind of mission is awaiting me? Will there be lots of experience points?¡±

    Meanwhile, Inspector Ho was visibly disturbed by Zhao Yao¡¯s intrusive re as anxiety swirled through him, ¡°Hey, can you stop staring at me as if I¡¯m some beautiful girl. Sorry to break your bubble but I¡¯m not a gay and will never be. I¡¯m only interested in girls with a big butt coupled with big tits.¡±

    However, Zhao Yao waspletely indifferent to Inspector Ho¡¯s usations. Instead, he approached Inspector Ho with a silly smile and patted him gently against his shoulder, ¡°Inspector Ho, is there anything that I can help you with?¡±

    On the surface, it might seem like a totally friendly gesture. However, Inspector Ho could feel the pit of his stomach fall when Zhao Yao¡¯s palm touched his shoulders. Hence, he immediately swatted it away and retorted, ¡°What are you trying to do? Don¡¯t tell me that you wanna be involved in the South? I¡¯m telling you that it¡¯s impossible. It will be far more dangerous if you¡¯re there. I cannot imagine what will happen if God of Death has his eyes fixed on your head instead.¡±

    Truth be told, Inspector Ho¡¯s fear for Talon only increased as time passed. This was especially true for an apostle of Zhao Yao¡¯s caliber. If God of Death forced him to join his side by threatening his family, the results would be horrendous!

    Inspector Ho shook his head and advised, ¡°You should just stay put in Jiangmen City. Do not go to the South just because it seems ¡®interesting¡¯. Do you understand?¡±

    However, Zhao Yao shot him a confused re before shaking his head, ¡°Actually, I¡¯m not referring to that. Other than this, is there anything else that you need my help with?¡±

    Seeing Zhao Yao¡¯s concerned gaze, Inspector Ho began to pry his head for any matter which was troubling him. Suddenly, he recalled, ¡°Actually, I have something that has been bugging me for quite some time. Do you remember the Cat King of the West?¡±

    Beams of excitement instantly shot out of Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes, ¡°Oh? Cat King of the West requires my help? That must be a huge mission!¡±

    Inspector Ho scoffed before rolling his eyes, ¡°It¡¯s not that the Cat King of the West is in trouble, it¡¯s that ... he has not been contacting us. Also, he doesn¡¯t reply whenever we tried to contact him on our end. This is strange because it has never happened before. Cat King of the West isn¡¯t like this, hence I hope you can help me investigate this matter.¡±

    A tinge of annoyance was evident in Zhao Yao¡¯s tone when he replied, ¡°Can¡¯t you handle such a simple task on your own? There are so many ways that you can track his situation.¡±

    However, Inspector Ho shook his head, ¡°Cat King of the West¡¯s situation is rather tricky because he is staying in a prison.¡±

    Noticing Zhao Yao¡¯s confused re, Inspector Ho immediately continued his exnation, ¡°Cat King of the West has a unique power of leading cats and humans towards goodness and away from all their vices. Hence, he wasn¡¯t thrown into a prison. Instead, he volunteered to stay there in hopes of influencing the prisoners for the better. He stopped contacting us a few days ago. I have contacted the wardens to help me identify any anomalies.¡±

    However, these words failed to convince Zhao Yao on the severity of the situation as he reasoned, ¡°It¡¯s just been a few days. Maybe he was out ying some stupidputer games.¡±

    ¡°Do you think everyone behaves like you?¡± Inspector Ho was not particrly kind with his words, ¡°The prison he lives in is flooded with all kinds of vile apostles and supercats. Hence, knowing his situation is of utmost importance! There can be no room for error! Even though the investigation has not concluded, I have a hunch that something has happened.¡±

    Inspector Ho nced towards Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°Could you disguise yourself as a criminal and infiltrate the prison and find out what¡¯s going on?¡±

    Mission: Prison Investigation

    Objective: Disguise yourself as a fellow criminal to investigate the situation within the prison. Ultimately, identify the reason behind the entire incident

    Reward: 2000 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    Zhao Yao¡¯s right eyebrow shot up when he saw the reward: ¡°The reward itself isn¡¯t too shabby but is there really a need to disguise myself as a criminal? It sounds like a hassle.¡±

    Zhao Yao informed Inspector Ho of his concerns and listened to his reasoning, ¡°I¡¯ve investigated all possible ces that I could in my capacity. There is no anomaly on the surface. However, Cat King of the West still refuses to make contact with us. Furthermore, the criminals who initially changed for the better have reverted to their old self and were rumored to be even more violent.¡±

    Inspector Ho sighed, ¡°All the previous apostles that I have sent had failed because they were exposed the moment they set foot there. Hence, I hope you could blend in and find out what¡¯s going on.¡±

    Zhao Yao was not exactly pleased with Inspector Ho¡¯s reasoning and retorted, ¡°What are you trying to say? Your men were exposed because they behave like gentleman? Meanwhile, I would not face this problem because I¡¯m an a*shole? Is that what you¡¯re trying to say?¡±

    Inspector Ho replied coolly, ¡°You¡¯re just better at hiding your true self.¡±

    Zhao Yao pondered, ¡°2000*2 experience points still sounds rather enticing. Maybe I might even receive more missions after I infiltrate the prison.¡±

    Hence, he nodded his head and epted the mission.

    ¡°However, which cat should I bring in if I¡¯m entering a prison?¡±

 Chapter 509: Sent to Prison

    <h4>Chapter 509: Sent to Prison</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao was walking along the belly with his gaze jumping from one cat to another.

    ¡°Based on the information Inspector Ho has provided, the prison can be divided into two areas. One for humans, another for cats. I¡¯ll be settling the human prisoners but I still require a supercat to infiltrate the cat side to find out more.¡±

    ¡°This prison is filled with the vilest and worst criminals on earth hence it won¡¯t be easy to extract information out of them. Hence, I need a cat that is unscrupulous with its methods. At the same, it cannot be too weak. Preferably, it should be someone that looks menacing as well.¡±

    Somehow, Zhao Yao¡¯s gaze had already locked onto Matcha as he thought, ¡°Matcha should be up for this job. Coupled with Dust Ball, I¡¯ll be able to teleport over to their end anytime. They can even call for backup from the belly.¡±

    With his mind made up, Zhao Yao started calling for Matcha via their shared consciousness, ¡°Matcha,e here!¡±

    Matcha, who was in the midst of a tirade, immediately sprinted over the moment Zhao Yao¡¯s voice rang in his head.

    With his solemn expression fixed on Matcha, Zhao Yao exined, ¡°I¡¯ll be going to a prison in the next few days ...¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Matha could not conceal the excitement exploding within him and thought, ¡°Is he going to stay there for good? I knew it! After all these atrocities that he hasmitted, it¡¯s only a matter of time before he¡¯s thrown behind bars! Now that he¡¯s imprisoned, doesn¡¯t that make me the boss? My time has arrived!¡±

    Zhao Yao mmed his palm against Matcha¡¯s head and continued, ¡°I need you toe with me.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s feet gave way as his meaty belly mmed against the ground. With tears welled up in his eyes, he crawled over to Zhao Yao and wrapped himself around his calf, ¡°Zhao Yao! I¡¯m your most beloved Matcha! How could you bear to throw me behind bars?¡±

    The screaming intensified as Matcha pleaded, ¡°I¡¯m still so young! My life will be gone the moment I end up there!¡±

    Zhao Yao swiped Matcha¡¯s paw away in a moment of anger and retorted, ¡°You¡¯re not incarcerated! We are infiltrating the prison for an investigation!¡±

    Finally, the trembling stopped as relief suffused Matcha¡¯s features, ¡°You should have just told me that right from the start. You didn¡¯t have to scare me!¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao had already called for Dust Ball as well, ¡°... that¡¯s the situation. Both of you wille with me to find out what exactly is going on.¡±

    However, Dust Ball quivered with indignation as she retorted, ¡°I don¡¯t want to go there! I can¡¯t leave when I have so much catmint to take care of!¡±

    Zhao Yao bent over and cradled her in his arms, ¡°Dust Ball, your catmint won¡¯t die so easily. They¡¯re strong nts!¡±

    ¡°What if someone steals my catmint?¡± Dust Ball¡¯s vicious re scanned across all the cats, ¡°All these greedy cats have been eyeing my catmint every moment. Every day, I¡¯ll spot at least 10 b*stards trying to steal my catmint!¡±

    Zhao Yao could only roll his eyes at her ridiculous concern, ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll get Sphynx Cat to help watch over your catmint. He hates catmint. How is it?¡±

    ¡°Sphynx Cat?¡± Dust Ball¡¯s eyes shot towards the cat wrapped up in iron chains with a monstrous dumbbell hanging by his tail. Every movement he made sent a gust of wind slicing through the air. It was insane.

    However, Dust Ball shook her head furiously, ¡°No, Sphynx Cat is best friend with Ares and Ares loves catmint. Also, that b*tch Catherine loves my catmint too! They¡¯ll take it for themselves!¡±

    Zhao Yao could not believe his ears, ¡°How about Elizabeth then? She dislikes catmint and is strong enough to help you protect them.¡±

    Finally, Dust Ball gave the approving nod of her head, ¡°Actually, Elizabeth is a good option ...¡±

    Wasting no time at all, Zhao Yao leaped on the opportunity, ¡°You can even expand your business in the prison! Just imagine how hungry they are for catmint after all those time stuck behind bars! You can sell them at 10 times the original price and use that profit to expand your business! Isn¡¯t it great?¡±

    Sensing their indifference, Zhao Yaoy out his trump card, ¡°Alright. I¡¯ll reward you with RMB 10,000 each if youplete the mission.¡±

    These words were like a spark which ignited both cats¡¯ enthusiasm, ¡°Zhao Yao! Bring me in this instant!¡±

    ...

    A rundown van slow pulled to a stop at the foot of the prison¡¯s entrance. With the door open, throngs of supercats emerged from within. All their necks were adorned with an electric cor which allowed remote electric shock treatment. Each attack would throw their bodies into a state of spasm.

    Every cat in the prison was restrained by this cor. If they were immune to electric shocks, other measures were in ce to control them.

    At the back of the line were Matcha and Dust Ball. Both of them were looking curiously at this menacing fa?ade. Zhao Yao had explicitly instructed relevant authorities to remove the electric shock capabilities from their cors.

    A neat line of prison wardens stood opposite the criminals, with their vicious re locked on them.

    The middle-aged man in the middle was particrly scary. His appearance was perfect to a tee. However, his piercing gaze swept past the line of criminals when he eximed, ¡°All you scums! B*stards! Trash! Hello.¡±

    Seeing their bewildered expression, the man continued, ¡°I am Yama, the deputy chief warden of this prison. From today onwards, I will also be your God.¡± With that said, he pressed the button on his remote controller which sent bolts of electricity running through their bodies. Immediately, all the cats copsed to the ground as they writhed in pain.

    Yama was baffled when both Matcha and Dust Ball stood there, totally unaffected. He muttered, ¡°The two of you ...¡±

    Before he could even finish his words, Matcha had already copsed to the ground as he cried, ¡°Ah! It hurts! So pain! So bad!¡± Matcha even executed a Neymaresque roll.

    Meanwhile, Dust Ball was rather slow and took another second to react to the situation, emting Matcha¡¯s world-ss acting.

    Yama shot his finger straight at the pair and ordered, ¡°Check their cors and see if it¡¯s working!¡±

    Seeing the wardens approach her, Dust Ball immediately leaped to her feet and mustered her most fearsome snarl.

    Meanwhile, Matcha began to scream at her via their shared consciousness, ¡°Hey! Don¡¯t do anything stupid! If not, our RMB 10,000 will be gone!¡±

    Those words rang an rm in Dust Ball¡¯s head as she dropped to the ground, without a fight, allowing the wardens to fit a new cor.

    Not forgetting to drag Matcha down, Dust Ball eximed, ¡°This cat¡¯s cor is also broken!¡±

    Matcha retorted, ¡°No! She is lying! It¡¯s a tant lie!¡±

    Meanwhile, Yama had already pointed his finger at Matcha before rying his instructions, ¡°Change his cor.¡±

    Finally, the cats were led through a giant iron-cast gate which resembled a monster¡¯s mouth.

    ...

    Biu! Biu! Biu!

    Jets of water were sprayed on their faces as Dust Ball let out a deafening scream. She stretched open her mouth and was on the verge of escaping to her belly.

    However, Matcha mmed his paw against her shoulders and reminded her with a solemn expression, ¡°10,000.¡±

    Anger seared through her as Dust Ball allowed another jet of water to be sprayed on her body.

    Meanwhile, Matcha too was already drenched in water. With his fists tightly clenched together, he muttered, ¡°No, I must persevere for RMB 10,000. Matcha, control!¡±

    After the excruciating water torture, the drenched cats were then brought to the drying room.

    A warm gust of wind started blowing from all directions the moment they set foot in this room.

    Despite this supposedlyfortable treatment, you could still hear the low grunting sound made by the cats.

    Once they were rid of all the water from their fur, they were brought to the shaving room where their fur was trimmed to a more suitable length.

    Dust Ball¡¯s eyes instantly turned red when she saw the shaver in the man¡¯s hand. She shot that human a death re and yelled, ¡°No one shall shave my hair!¡±

    Matcha immediately ran forward to stop Dust Ball, ¡°Calm down Dust Ball! You must control your anger! Do you remember what our objective is? RMB 10,000!¡±

    Those words were like anesthesia shot into Dust Ball¡¯s bloodstream as she mmed her eyes shut. Even though she was furious, she offered zero resistance.

    Momentster, both Matcha and Dust Ball¡¯s fur had been trimmed to a mere one-inch length. They looked nothing like their usual selves.

    After rounds and rounds of physical examination, the cats were finally brought to their respective cells.

    Matcha and Dust Ball followed behind a group of wardens down this long and dingy alley nked by iron cells on both sides. There were cat beds, squatting toilet and a basin inside each cell for all six cats living inside to share.

    As the cats were streamed to their individual cells, it was soon Matcha¡¯s turn to enter his.

    ¡°Get your ass in there!¡± The warden instructed as he rammed his foot against the back of Matcha¡¯s butt. Dust Ball could feel the anger boiling in her blood but was immediately dissuaded by Dust Ball, ¡°Do not do anything stupid, Dust Ball. We need to familiarize ourselves with the environment. Then, we¡¯ll find an opportunity to meet up and discuss. Do not be too eager toplete the mission. Practise patience ...¡±

    To ensure mission sess, Zhao Yao created the mission modules for both Dust Ball and Matcha. This allowed them to ept any missions independently.

    Seeing that he was taking his own sweet time, the warden rammed his foot against Matcha once again. Left with no choice, Matcha made his way inside as he watched him lead Dust Ball to another cell.

    Now, Matcha was all alone in this foreign cell with four foreign cats. All of their attention was fixed on the neer and silence ensued.

    The alpha amongst them was a muscr Russian Blue which weighed at least 20 pounds. He was resting on the mostfortable cat bed as its eyes began to scrutinize Matcha nonchntly.

    ¡°Hey, kid. What¡¯s your name? And how did you end up here?¡±

    Matcha slowly raised his head with confidence beaming from his eyes. He began to observe the cats with a condescending gaze before announcing smugly, ¡°Silly cats. You have no idea who you are speaking to.¡±

    Footages of his previous battle victories flooded his mind, one by one. Heat stained his cheeks when he reminisced how far he hade since the earlier days. With his new found confidence, he sauntered towards a cat bed and cleared his throat, ¡°From today onwards, I¡¯ll have thest say in this room. Any objections?¡±

    ¡°Neer, do you have any idea who I am?¡± A tiny cat retorted, ¡°Our boss here is Chic Bro of Fortune Street. He has the power to defeat 10 dogs with a single punch. I suggest you bow down and admit your mistake to save yourself a beating.¡±

    Matcha responded with a smirk before shing his razor-sharp ws, ¡°Haha, how long has it been since a catst dared to talk trash with me? A bunch of good-for-nothings! You guys have no idea the disparity in our strength!¡±

    The cats shot each other a nce before the Russian Blue ordered, ¡°You cocky b*stard! All of you, attack him now!¡±

    ¡°You are simply courting an early death then.¡± Matcha bellowed inughter, ¡°I rmend that you guys attack me all at once to save time.¡± With that said, Matcha charged forward with his deadly ws.

    ...

    Five minutester, Matcha was lying on the floor with all sorts of scratch marks adorning his body. There were even a few visible bald spots across his back and chest. With his Puss-in-boots eyes, he pleaded, ¡°Fellow bosses, we can always talk things out. There is no need for violence.¡±

    Evidently, despite Matcha¡¯s very best effort, there was no way he could stand his ground against four cats within this confined space.

    With tears shimmering in his eyes, he stared at his ws and thought, ¡°D*mn it, if Zhao Yao didn¡¯t trim my ws, all this wouldn¡¯t have happened! I would never have fallen to these four r*tards!¡±

    The fat Russian Blue sniggered before asking once again, ¡°So what¡¯s your name and your story?¡±

    Matcha immediately exined, without omitting any details, ¡°My name is George. I was thrown into prison because I killed a cat.¡±

    ¡°Killed a cat?¡± The tiny cat was shocked, ¡°How many cats did you kill?¡±

    Matcha slowly struggled to his feet with a certain viciousness in his eyes, ¡°While my shit cleaner was sleeping, I took this opportunity to obliterate all 15 cats living in my house ...¡±

    Bam! The fat Russian Blue mmed its even fatter paw against Matcha¡¯s head and roared, ¡°Who gave you permission to get on your feet?¡±

    With Matcha squashed beneath his feet, the Russian Blue scoffed, ¡°I¡¯m not interested in all these exaggerations. Tell me the truth.¡±

    ¡°But I¡¯m telling you the ...¡±

    Bam! Bam! Bam! Matcha¡¯s cheeks immediately turned swollen from the avnche of ps. With its beady eyes locked onto Matcha, Chic Bro asked, ¡°Do you think that I¡¯m an idiot?¡±

    Matcha instantly shook his head violently and replied, ¡°No.¡±

    The fat Russian Blue crouched next to Matcha and whispered into his ears, ¡°In that case, do you think that you are an idiot?¡±

    Once again, Matcha began to shake his head before replying, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±

    Finally, the fat Russian Blue rxed his grip and asked, ¡°Now, tell me what exactly happened. What brought you here today?¡±

    ¡°Ac ... Actually, I¡¯ve never killed a single cat. I was thrown here for a fraud. I only said all these nonsense so that you guys will be afraid of me.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. No one would believe a single word you said with that dumb face of yours. I¡¯m sure I could have annihted you before I was even awakened.¡± Finally, Chic Bro nodded his head and asked, ¡°George the fraud, from today onwards, do you know which bed you¡¯re sleeping on?¡±

    Matcha¡¯s eyes followed the direction which Chic Bro pointed towards and noticed a tattered bed in the corner of the room. If he didn¡¯t mention, Matcha had long mistaken it for trash. It was also the one nearest to the toilet.

    A tinge of anger shed across his eyes as Matcha shot Chic Bro a death re.

    Obviously, Chic Bro was not too happy with Matcha¡¯s action and asked, ¡°Kid, are you asking for another round of beating?¡±

    Matcha immediately lowered his head and made his way towards that hideous bed. The remaining cats bellowed inughter as they watched Matcha¡¯s walk of shame. In his head, Matcha was screaming, ¡°D*mn it! I¡¯ll let you know the true meaning of terror the moment I contact either Zhao Yao or Dust Ball! All of you better watch out!¡±

    After the tormenting first night, it was soon breakfast followed by some individual admin time.

    All the cats were currently gathered in an open field which had lots of toys, kitty towers scattered all across the ce.

    Suddenly, Matcha caught sight of his savior, Dust Ball, and came running towards her with tears rolling down his cheeks, ¡°Dust Ball! Dust Ball! I finally found you!¡±

    ¡°Dust Ball! Dust Ball! Save me! The other cats are bullying me!¡±

    With tears streaking down his cheeks, Matcha raced forward. However, he was immediately intercepted by a few muscr ck cats after taking just one step.

    All these ck cats were almost bald from all the scars adorning their bodies. Pinning down Matcha with their re, Matcha felt as if they were gonna kill him.

    One of the ck cats shouted, ¡°Hey kid, where are you from?¡±

    Another ck cat retorted with a curl of its lips, ¡°This is the ck cats¡¯ territory. No cats of color are allowed in!¡±

    Suddenly, Matcha was alerted to this peculiar situation. Actually, the seemingly peaceful yground was split between different cat groups. Each group was vying for another¡¯s territory as they seek to expand theirs.

    ¡°Kid, get lost already. We ck cats do not wee cats of color.¡±

    One of the more muscr cats reached its arm forward and shoved Matcha to the corner of the yground.

    Immediately, Matcha felt as if his vision was nketed by darkness as a shadow loomed over him. This was none other than Chic Bro.

    Chic Bro was not happy. His huge stature towered over Matcha with a snarl stretched across his face. Also, his ck pupils had already conscripted into vertical thin slits, fixing his death re straight on Matcha.

    ¡°Kid, it seems like you still don¡¯t want to submit to my rule and is trying to find help.¡± At the same time, Chic Bro was brandishing his razor-sharp ws which he waved in Matcha¡¯s face.

    Matcha could only stare in Dust Ball¡¯s direction and screamed frantically, ¡°Dust Ball! It¡¯s me! Save me!¡±

    Dust Ball was currently suntanning on a grass patch with a group of ck cats surrounding her. All of them seemed rather happy ying with the kitty towers and see-saws.

    Hearing Matcha¡¯s desperate cry for help, Dust Ball simply rolled over to another side and stuffed her finger into her ears.

    With all hopes lost, Matcha copsed to the ground with his body pointed towards Chic Bro, ¡°Bro, it¡¯s my fault.¡±

    ¡°So you finally admit your mistake? A pity that it¡¯s all toote.¡± Chic Bro scoffed, ¡°From now on, I¡¯ll teach you why flowers are all naturally red.¡±

    ¡°Watch out for my Caesar ws!¡± Chic Bro threw his paw in the air with five rays of light reflected off of it as it came mming down on Matcha.

    Just before his ws made contact, a strong yet invisible force mmed against Chic Bro¡¯s belly which sent him flying off as he crashed against a wall.

    Matcha could only watch in disbelief as this unbelievable scene happened. Suddenly, Zhao Yao¡¯s familiar voice rang in his ears, ¡°R*tard, what are you waiting for?¡±

    Matcha was overwhelmed with emotions as he screamed, ¡°Dad! Dad, you came to my rescue?¡±

    Actually, Zhao Yao was simply levitating in the air above the yground with deflective field wrapped around him. With Roly Poly resting on his head, he waspletely invisible to the naked eye.

    Zhao Yao was disheartened by Matcha¡¯s performance, ¡°This stupid cat. Was he defeated by these group of lousy cats ... I¡¯ve truly wasted my points on him.¡±

    Meanwhile, Matcha¡¯sughter swept across the yground as he ran towards the fallen Chic Bro, ¡°You stupid cat, do you finally understand the gravity of your mistake?¡±

    A level seven deflective field had an effective radius of 35 meters. Hence, he could still help Matcha despite floating at a height of 20 meters.

    With deflective field enveloping his entire body, Matcha began tounch a barrage of kicks and punches on Chic Bro.

    Bam! One kicknded straight on Chic Bro¡¯s waist as he groaned in defeat. This time, he didn¡¯t even bother to get back up.

    Matcha pointed at Chic Bro¡¯s three subordinates and sneered, ¡°Do you see this? This is what happens when you go up against me, Matcha!¡±

    The three cats were trembling in fear and showed no signs of retaliation.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao continued to float in mid-air with his eyes observing the wardens. The wardensprised both humans and cats. Despite witnessing this battle between the prisoners, they showed no signs of interfering. Instead, they were observing it with a smirk on their face.

    The remaining cats on the yground were either indifferent to it or simply rooting for them. They seemed to be enjoying this spectacle.

    This intense atmosphere of violence was spreading across the whole prison.

    With his brows knitted together, Zhao Yao muttered, ¡°Why did this happen? Based on Inspector Ho¡¯s words, Cat King of the West was edifying these criminals, turning them into more kind-hearted individuals. From the looks of it, this prison is significantly worse than a normal one. What happened?¡±

    At the same time, Matcha was lying on the ground, enjoying his sunbath. Somehow, Chic Bro and his three subordinates had turned into Matcha¡¯s subordinates, keeping an eye out for Matcha¡¯s safety.

    Zhao Yao descended next to Matcha and chastised him, ¡°What are you doing? Didn¡¯t I give you the illusion cors?¡±

    After all, Zhao Yao was specially designated by Inscptor Ho toe here. Naturally, he had privileges which all criminals would crave for. The cors attached to Matcha and Dust Ball not only had no electric shock capabilities, they were even sealed with Zhao Yao¡¯s illusion. That was why he even dared to send them in in the first ce.

    Matcha immediately recounted the story of their cors. Zhao Yao could only roll his eyes before sealing another fresh illusion inside this new cor.

    ¡°Alright, don¡¯t lose this ever again. I¡¯ve set the effective radius to one meter. Hence, use time-freeze and get within one meter of your opponent. Then, activate this cor and your opponent will be robbed of its five senses.¡±

    A sinister smile danced at the corner of Matcha¡¯s lips.

    Zhao Yao then rushed over to Dust Ball¡¯s side and sealed the illusion within her new cor.

    At the same time, another cat had approached Matcha with a snigger, ¡°Hmmm, I¡¯ve never expected to see you here, Matcha. I guess we were born to be eternal enemies.¡±

    Matcha raised his head to the sight of a rotund American Shorthair. Who else could it be other than dear Fish Ball?

    ¡°Fish Ball? You¡¯re here too?¡± A toon of cats of different pedigrees stood behind Fish Ball. Matcha¡¯s heart skipped a beat as he asked, ¡°You¡¯ve be one of the bosses here?¡±

    ¡°You are not the only one who has improved.¡± With a wave of his paws, Fish Ball continued, ¡°Speaking of which, how did you end up here? Is it because you¡¯ve grown old and ugly so Zhao Yao has no choice but to throw you here? Meowhahaha!¡±

    Matcha replied calmly, ¡°I was caught for a telmunications fraud, but I believe it¡¯s a mistake on their end. Hence, I should be out pretty soon.¡±

    Suddenly, amongst the wardens who were busy enjoying the show performed by Matcha, a cat warden emerged and threw its arms in the air, ¡°Hey, you! That orange cat! That rapist! I want you toe with me after admin time! Don¡¯t try anything funny with me!¡±

    Matcha¡¯s jaw went ck as he pointed at himself, ¡°Are you talking to me?¡±

    ¡°Yes, George Matcha, the cat who raped four female cats within a minute. Isn¡¯t that you?¡±

    Anger seared through Matcha as he retorted, ¡°Zhao Yao! Of all crimes why must it be this?¡± Suddenly, a frown descended on Fish Ball¡¯s face as he mumbled, ¡°D*mn it, I¡¯ve lost.¡±

    Zhao Yao who was in the midst of sealing the illusion in Dust Ball¡¯s cor rolled his eyes and muttered, ¡°Lose your ass.¡±

    Meanwhile, Matcha rified with the warden, ¡°What do you want me for?¡±

    The cat warden let out a bone-chillingugh and replied, ¡°You¡¯ll find out soon enough.¡±

    A humongous golden exmation mark appeared above the warden¡¯s head. This peculiar punctuation was only visible to Matcha.

    ¡°Hmm, has my superb fighting techniques attracted its attention which prompted it to ask me for help?¡± However, Matcha had no time for this silly question as he continued grilling Fish Ball, ¡°How about you? How did you end up here?¡±

    <h4>Chapter 512: King of the Prison</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    shback of the past few days zoomed past Fish Ball¡¯s head as Matcha¡¯s question rang in his ears.

    ...

    Xiao Yu who was in the midst of polishing off all her food shouted, ¡°Fish Ball, we are almost out of cat food!¡±

    Fish Ball raised his head with his mouth slightly open as a grain of cat food slipped out of it, ¡°Xiao Yu, you wanna try cat food?¡±

    A huge shadow loomed over Fish Ball¡¯s eyes as Xiao Yu¡¯s p mmed on his head, ¡°I¡¯ve heard of a hostel for cats like you. It is free and provides buffets all day. I heard there¡¯s an abundance of female cats living there.¡±

    Excitement raced through him when Fish Ball heard those words, ¡°Are you serious?¡±

    ¡°Of course I¡¯m serious!¡± Xiao Yu continued, ¡°If you¡¯re interested, I can send you there for a temporary stay.¡±

    ...

    With his eyes squinted into a line, Fish Ball snapped back, ¡°What has that got to do with you?¡± With that said, he pointed his paws at the few pedigrees beside him and threatened, ¡°Today, wee here as representatives of 8k. I¡¯m telling you that Chic Bro is part of 8k. What you did just now was as good as spitting in 8k¡¯s face.¡±

    A tinge of hesitation shed across Matcha as he thought, ¡°8k? Why does this gang sound so familiar? And how is Fish Ball even part of it?¡± The corner of Matcha¡¯s eyes crinkled when he noticed the surrounding Russian Blue, American Shorthair, Siamese cat and Garfield inched towards him. Their angle was palpable.

    Matcha¡¯s chest tightened with fear as he pondered, ¡°How is Fish Ball faring so well in 8k?¡± Even though he was absolutely confident in his current abilities, he wouldn¡¯t want to infuriate them right off the bat. It was a mutually assured disaster.

    Hence, Matcha cried out, ¡°You guys want to go up against me all at once? Is that the only thing which 8k knows? If you have the guts, send out your boss in a 1-on-1.¡±

    The gang of cats stopped in their tracks. Following a loud meow, a Garfield emerged from amongst them, ¡°That makes perfect sense. Are you interested in a 1-on-1? I¡¯m happy to reciprocate.¡±

    Matcha was seized with fear as he began to wag his finger in the other Garfield, Fish Ball¡¯s direction, ¡°Fish Ball, aren¡¯t you their boss? Why are you sending someone else on your behalf?¡±

    With a line etched across its face, the real boss replied, ¡°When did he be my boss? He just has a natural inclination for standing in the middle. That¡¯s all.¡±

    Fish Ball ran off to the other Garfield¡¯s side and warned him, ¡°Boss, please be careful. That cat over there is vicious!¡±

    Matcha could only roll his eyes at this ungrateful sycophant. With his gaze fixed back on the boss, he responded, ¡°Alright then, it shall be between me and you.¡±

    The Garfield added, ¡°I¡¯m fine with that but I would like to add a use. Whoever loses has to lick the winner¡¯s anus. He shall be the other¡¯s b*tch from now on.¡±

    First, it was shock before anger rolled through his body, ¡°Are you still living in some primitive society? Why do you even continue such barbaric practice? Who even wants to lick your anus?¡±

    The Garfield responded with a shrug of his shoulders, ¡°You can choose not to.¡± Then, he began to stick out his tongue as it swirled across his lips, ¡°But I¡¯m definitely licking yours.¡±

    Fish Ball had to summon all his remaining strength to suppress the disgust raging from within as he cheered, ¡°Boss! You can do it! I¡¯ll help you massage your legs after this!¡±

    Goosebumps popped up all over Matcha¡¯s skin as he dashed straight towards him and shouted into his ears, ¡°You piece of trash! Get on your knees!¡±

    As he spoke, he had already initialized his illusion cor. Immediately, the Garfield lost control over his five senses as he copsed to the ground. Meanwhile, Matcha had activated timefreeze.

    When the entire world came to a standstill, Matcha sheepishly walked towards the Garfield. He then carefully contorted his body into a kowtow position aiming straight at his original position.

    Return to his starting spot, Matcha allowed time to resume.

    With all attention fixed on Matcha, the Garfield copsed to his knees the moment Matcha¡¯s instruction reverberated throughout the yground.

    Immediately, the crowd broke out into a chorus of screams and cheers. However, one deep and loud voice erupted as Matcha roared, ¡°Do you submit?¡±

    Following the effects of timefreeze, the already unconscious Garfield nodded his head.

    The surrounding cats watched in shock as this unexpected event urred before them.

    ¡°Did Garfield just admit defeat to this guy?¡±

    ¡°How is that possible? What kind of power does this cat wield?¡±

    ¡°What is with that orange cat? What¡¯s his background?¡±

    Whispers erupted amongst the spectators as they wagged their fingers in Matcha¡¯s direction. Consequently, Matcha had also received a new mission.

    Mission: Show them who¡¯s boss

    Objective: Shock the cats with your power and make them understand just how strong you truly were

    Reward: 500 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    A glimmer of excitement shed across Matcha¡¯s eyes. This was the first time he had epted a mission without prompting others to ¡®ask¡¯ for help.

    Obviously, Matcha instantly epted this mission. His eyes then scanned his surroundings before a faint smile tugged at his lips, ¡°Everyone, in five second¡¯s time, all of you will be asking who touched my butt.¡±

    In the next moment, Matcha froze time. With the help of his 8X eleration, he sped through the entire yground and swiped his paws against all those furry butts.

    When time resumed, screams of admiration erupted amongst them.

    Fish Ball stared in disbelief as he looked towards Matcha, ¡°Who touched my butt ... It¡¯s impossible. How can he predict what I¡¯m about to say!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s simple. My eyes can see into the future while my hands mold reality!¡± Matcha imed as he burst intoughter. He then fixed his eyes on Fish Ball and predicted, ¡°Next, all of you will let out a shrilling scream.¡±

    When time resumed once more, Fish Ball¡¯s arm mmed across his own belly as he let out a deafening scream, ¡°How did you manage to predict this?¡±

    Everyone felt the pit of their stomach fell as they witnessed this unbelievable feat. Only Dust Bally in her original position, basking in the sunlight. She even shot Matcha with a condescending re.

    Naturally, Matcha was d to receive the cheers of affirmation amongst the crowd. Definitely, there were those who were skeptical. However, Matcha would convince these detractors with another bout of timefreeze and illusion.

    Finally, no cat dared to stand up against Matcha. After all, they couldn¡¯t even wrap their heads around how his power worked. With the missionpleted, Matcha earned for himself 500 experience points as a contented smile spread across his face.

    Soon, admin time was about toe to an end. As promised, Matcha followed behind the wardens with a spring in his steps.

    Zhao Yao then ran his fingers through Dust Ball¡¯s fur and asked, ¡°You epted a mission to sell catmint?¡±

    Immediately, Dust Ball nodded her head violently and exined with excitement racing through her, ¡°Yes! All it needs me to do is to sell catmint! The more catmint sold, the more experience points earned!¡±

    Zhao Yao gave a contented nod of his head and replied, ¡°That¡¯s good. Report straight to me if anything crops up.¡±

    After settling their cors, it was time for Zhao Yao to return to his own cell.

    With the use of his invisibility powers, Zhao Yao managed to return to his cell undetected. However, he couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes when he noticed the cellmates who he had knocked unconscious.h

    His eyes swept from left to right and saw the American William, ck Panther of Chuan Xiao, the ex Fuerdai Xiao Ming and finally Nessie.

    ¡°What kind of lousybination is this? I bet Inspector Ho arranged this on purpose!¡±

    While Zhao Yao was resting back in his cell, Matcha had followed the wardens to a suite.

    The golden exmation mark continued to flicker on top of the warden¡¯s head as he barked out, ¡°Go in. Someone wants to talk to you.¡±

    Mission: Chat

    Objective: Speak to the leader of the prison

    Reward: 10 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    A smile continued to dance on Matcha¡¯s lips as another easy 10 experience points awaited him.

    The atmosphere changed radically the moment he entered this room. First of all, it was far colder than the ordinary cells. Next, it was so opulent that Matcha couldn¡¯t believe he was still in the prison. Smacked in the middle was a blonde Caucasian with a cup of ck tea swirling in his hands. He immediately shot the approaching Matcha an amiable smile and asked, ¡°Is this ... Mr George?¡±

    Matcha waspletely absorbed with the booger stuck in his nostril and shot the Caucasian a disdainful re, ¡°Who are you? Can you understand my words?¡±

    Immediately after finishing his words, the Caucasian gently slid a phone in Matcha¡¯s direction, ¡°You canmunicate with me using this.¡±

    Hence, Matcha regurgitated the same words in text only to see the Caucasian cackled withughter, ¡°My name is Mike and I¡¯m one of the in-charge of this prison. The reason why I requested for your presence is that I find it a waste for a cat of your caliber to waste his time here.¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t say?¡± Smugly, Matcha mmed his butt on the chair opposite his before he replied via text, ¡°Just cut to the chase. What exactly do you want?¡±

    ¡°Actually, there¡¯s nothing on my agenda,¡± Mike responded with a shrug of his shoulders, ¡°I just want to give cats of your status more privileges, better living conditions. Your current cell does not befit someone of your standing. I have a suite in mind which is more suitable for you.¡±

    The hostility in Matcha¡¯s eyes evaporated as he replied, ¡°Kid, you¡¯re rather sensible.¡±

    With a snap of Mike¡¯s fingers, tes of fresh delicacies were brought out to them. There were the usual cat food and cat rice but there was also premium raw fishes which cats adored.

    Obviously, Matcha¡¯s eyes gleamed with excitement at the sight of these mouth-watering dishes. However, he had long grown used to such delicacies from all the Legendary cat rice Zhao Yao had fed him with. Hence, the food failed to impress him.

    Instead, he was alerted to a new mission the moment this food appeared across the table.

    Mission: Resist the corruption

    Objective: Resist the tempting bribe offered by the opponent. Do not give in to any of his requests

    Reward: 500 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    Matcha¡¯s heart skipped a beat before joy filled him like sunshine, ¡°Hahaha, you are underestimating me. I, George Matcha, am a cat that is second to none. I have seen millions of dors cross hands without batting an eye. Do you actually think that I¡¯ll fall for this crude trick?¡±

    Hence, Matcha immediately shoved a mouthful of food into his throat before vomiting them all out.

    ¡°The fish isn¡¯t even fresh! And how dare you soak these rotting fish in water? Are you trying to make it expand and look bigger? Disgusting!

    The beef is perfectly overcooked! You didn¡¯t even allow the spices and sauce to be absorbed into its tender meat. Anotherplete failure!

    This cat rice has been left out there for at least three hours! Premium cat rice is made with top-of-the-line meat. Any exposure to air would cause it to oxidize instantly. It will be inedible if you leave it out there for more than an hour! How dare you serve it to me after three hours? Preposterous!¡±

    Mike forced an awkward smile across his face as the veins in his forehead throbbed, ¡°This country bumpkin, how dare he try to nitpick our food!¡± However, thesements were reserved for himself. Instead, he pped his hands and weed a delegate of female Persian, Garfield, Ragdolls and American Shorthair.

    Matcha¡¯s heart pounded against his chest at this beautiful sight. Mike too noticed the subtle change in his expression, ¡°As long as yours truly are interested in helping us with a small favor, all these females cats will be yours to enjoy.¡±

    Matcha gulped down the saliva umted in his mouth and typed, ¡°Send all of them back! The one thing which I hate the most is a female cat! I¡¯m not interested in any of them!¡±

    Mike wiped the sweat off his forehead before resorting to his ultimate move.

    With one hard swing, he ced a huge luggage on the table. With two clicks, the luggage slowly opened and revealed the stacks of cash resting within it.

    Matcha¡¯s paw trembled as it inched towards this gleaming pile of cash. However, he immediately retracted it before inching towards it once again.

    Seeing Matcha¡¯s hesitation, Mike started tough and exin, ¡°If you¡¯re interested in joining us, all of these will belong to you.¡±

    Matcha was all dizzy from the stacks of cash shoved in his face. In his groggy state, he asked, ¡°What organization are you from?¡±

    With that said, he threw his paws over the cash with a contented smile tugging his lips. However, this brief excitement was immediately reced with hesitation as he pulled his paws back.

    Mike continued to drink his ck tea nonchntly. Despite Matcha¡¯s hesitation, Mike showed no signs of anger. Instead, a faint smile reflected off of his face. He reminded Matcha, ¡°If you join us, you might even be able to leave this ce one day.¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao could only let out another long depressed sigh as he observed all these good-for-nothings strewn across this putrid cell.

    He found the mostfortable mattress and immediately jumped on it. With a snap of his fingers, the illusion cast on their bodies was lifted. However, some of them were still fast asleep.

    Zhao Yao started to observe the electric cor fitted to his neck before sealing an illusion into it. To an ordinary man¡¯s eye, he looked like just another middle-aged man. After all, he would not want all these scoundrels to recognize him.

    After he was done with the illusion, a few of his cellmates began to wake up from their slumber.

    The first to wake up was the American soldier, William. He set up against the wall as tears rolled down his cheeks. He immediately buried his face in his hands as a muffled cry echoed from his direction.

    Beneath that watery bloodshot eyes, he was pondering, ¡°D*mn it! What the hell happened on that ind? Why are all my savings gone? Also, why do I owe some random person USD 1,500,000?¡±

    His life was inplete ruins with nothing to look forward to. He just wanted to rot inside this cell for the rest of his life.

    On the other side of the cell, ck Panther started wagging his finger in Mike¡¯s direction and eximed, ¡°Hey, foreigner, why is your body all grey?¡±

    William shot him a death re but had zero intentions to retaliate.

    Meanwhile, Xiao Ming was observing his fellow cellmates. The Caucasian, William, seemedpletely despondent as he continued to weep in the corner. Nessie was still sleeping but he looked like he was in pain. Finally, there was this ordinary man (Zhao Yao) who was daydreaming on his bed.

    Xiao Ming thought about it before announcing, ¡°I remember I fell asleep not long after I came to this cell so why not we take turns to do a self-introduction?¡±

    Noticing the other¡¯s indifference, Xiao Ming decided to take the lead, ¡°Let me begin then. I¡¯m Xiao Ming and I came from a rather affluent family. The reason I¡¯m here ...¡± A mirthlessugh was followed by another half-shrug of his shoulders as he continued, ¡°I was thrown in here for illegal fundraising but I assure you that it was all legitimate! It¡¯s just that the public has many misconceptions about what we do.¡±

    Everyone began to inch away from Xiao Ming as his words rang in their heads with the sole exception of ck Panther. He nodded his head and introduced himself, ¡°Hi, I¡¯m ck Panther, Xiao Ming¡¯s acquaintance. However, I was thrown here for a different reason: voluntarily causing hurt.¡±

    William could not help suppress hisughter when he noticed ck Panther¡¯s hideous face, ¡°Causing hurt? You are capable of that? How many did you hurt?¡±

    ¡°A hundred odd?¡± ck Panther replied with a depressing sigh, ¡°All of them were my best buddies. I didn¡¯t want to but I was drunk.¡±

    William began to eye this man from head to toe. How could a vige bumpkin like him possibly hurt 100 people?

    Xiao Ming then directed his gaze towards William and asked, ¡°My foreign friend, how may I address you?¡±

    ¡°Just call me William,¡± William replied in his usual cool tone.

    Xiao Ming continued with another question, ¡°Then how did you end up here?¡±

    William heaved a long sigh before his eyes drifted skywards, ¡°I have also been asking myself the same question.¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t know?¡±

    William let out a soft chuckle when he noticed the two puzzled expressions staring at him, ¡°You guys will never understand. True power does not lie in the hands of the apostles wielding the swords or guns. In a battle against them, you¡¯ll at least understand how you lose.

    However, I don¡¯t even know how I lost to the apostle I fought against. Anyway, I found myself here the moment I woke up. My wife gave me a call asking for a divorce. She told me that all my life savings were gone and I owed someone another USD 1,500,000.¡±

    William scowled at the recount of his experience, ¡°True terror is when you don¡¯t even know what hit you. But when you wake up, you realize everything is gone, be it your wife, money, house. You wake up with a mountain of debt.¡±

    Xiao Ming knew the pain he was experiencing and consoled him, ¡°I can understand what you¡¯re going through.¡±

    With that said, William once again buried his head in his palms. It was like his body was nketed in a cloak of grey.

    ¡°Hmmm?¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin thoughtfully and remarked, ¡°That sounds like a scary apostle.¡±

    However, ck Panther started to shake his head furiously and reasoned, ¡°That¡¯s nothing. I bet you were drunk. Let me tell you, the scariest apostle is none other than Master Brainless.¡±

    Zhao Yao could not help but interrupt, ¡°Hey, are you talking about the Headless Horseman?¡±

    ck Panther shot this seemingly ordinary man a look of disdain before continuing, ¡°What do you know? Headless Horseman is a title given to him by the public but the police told me that his true identity is Mr. Brainless.¡±

    One by one, the veins in Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead began to pop up, ¡°Is that so? Do you happen to remember anything else which the police mentioned?¡±

    ¡°How am I supposed to remember all that? Anyway, stop interrupting me. Hmm, what was I about to say? Oh yes, the scariest apostle is definitely Master Headless. You have no idea just how strong he is. His ability has fully surpassed thebat powers of the human race. One punch of his could tear a 10 story building into half. He doesn¡¯t even have to return the millions of dors he owes. If only I have half his power, then I wouldn¡¯t have to return any of my debt.¡±

    Zhao Yao answered, ¡°... does that even constitute as apliment?¡±

    While ck Panther was immersed in his oundish storytelling, the previously stationary Nessie started to let out a sinisterugh, ¡°All of you are still too young, too na?ve. You have no idea what true terror actually is. Bankruptcy? Divorce? Hahaha, a punch that can tear a building in half? Hahahaha.¡±

    ck Panther immediately refuted when he heard Nessie¡¯s disdainfulughs, ¡°Hey, then tell me what is the strongest power!¡±

    ¡°All the powers you¡¯ve mentioned are remarkable in their own rights. However, it is nothingpared to the monster that I fought.¡± Nessie shook his head before continuing, ¡°That fine day, I was involved in a mission to attack a cat caf¨¦.

    Initially, everything went as nned. Even though the owners had plenty of cats whichplemented one another perfectly, we still managed to trounce them with my precise leadership. They couldn¡¯t even retaliate! This is because of my power to turn my body into water, making me invincible amongst the ordinary apostles.¡±

    ¡°However at this moment, he began his escape!¡± A frown crept up Nessie¡¯s face as he described the incident on that fateful day, ¡°We were chasing him like he was our prey but then he ran to a toilet.¡±

    ¡°Hmph?¡± A line began to etch across Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead, ¡°That doesn¡¯t sound right.¡±

    Meanwhile, Nessie continued, ¡°By the time we caught up to him, we realize he was already gone. All that was left was an English Shorthair. Then ...¡± Fear crossed Nessie¡¯s watery eyes, ¡°Hell descended.¡±

    ck Panther rified, ¡°What does that mean? Tell me! What happened?¡±

    ¡°That English Shorthairpletely ignored the fact that I had turned into water. With my powerpletely activated, every single molecule of my being had turned into water. Yet, he still managed to leave behind a scar that will never recover.¡±

    Nessie could only continue after drawing in a deep breath, ¡°Do you understand what that means? It ignores all sorts of defense. It defies the principles of physics! No matter how you guard against it, evade, heal, the scar will always be attached to you. It never recovers!¡±

    ck Panther¡¯s heart nearly stopped when he heard this bone-chilling recount. Xiao Ming too was appalled, ¡°Such a devastating power exists?¡±

    ¡°Of course it does.¡±

    ¡°Where is your scar?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s ...¡±Suddenly, Nessie¡¯s expression began to contort as he eximed, ¡°It¡¯s about to explode! That fe residing inside my body is about to explode once again! Quick! Get the wardens in right now! Before it¡¯s toote!¡±

    Immediately, the sounds of firecrackers exploded in the cell. Jets of crimson blood shot straight out of Nessie¡¯s butt, towards the surrounding walls. It was like a fountain spraying in all direction, painting the cell red.

    Nessie could finally breathe a sigh of relief as the spraying concluded, ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ve managed to restrain it.¡±

    Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t help but refute him, ¡°Isn¡¯t that just hemorrhoids? You should go for a surgery instead of fabricating lies about others¡¯ power.¡±

    Nessie stared at Zhao Yao in shock and yelled, ¡°You understand his power? Yes! This guy has the devastating power of inserting hemorrhoids in others¡¯ bodies!¡±

    ck Panther, Xiao Ming, and William¡¯s body shuddered simultaneously when the word ¡®hemorrhoid¡¯ rang in their heads. They mumbled, ¡°What a scary power.¡±

    However, Zhao Yao was raging with anger, ¡°This power doesn¡¯t even exist! I¡¯m telling you that you contracted hemorrhoids on your own and you should go for a surgery! Do you think this is menstruation! Stop telling lies about some supernatural superpower!¡±

    Zhao Yao clearly remembered what happened that day. He was chasing Nessie all the way back to his caf¨¦ when he was struck with Mango¡¯s ability. His hemorrhoids must have started from there, possibly due to less than ideal sanitary conditions.

    Nessie¡¯s brows locked together as he refuted with a roar, ¡°Do you think I¡¯m lying to you?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s nonchnt gaze was like a match tossed into his mes of raging fury. Immediately, he was possessed with unprecedented angst as he marched towards Zhao Yao. Blood began to flood the entire cell.

    With blood spurting out of his butt, Nessie shouted, ¡°I didn¡¯t have hemorrhoids before! That cat gave it to me!¡±

    However, the current Nessie did not have his power. Coupled with the loss of blood, Zhao Yao was able to take him down with a series of punches. Nessie trembled as he crawled towards Zhao Yao before sinking his teeth on his ankle.

    Seeing how crazy he had be, Zhao Yao had no choice but to knock him unconscious.

    ¡°This guy¡¯s transformation seems a little off. Has he gone crazy from the hemorrhoids?¡±

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao¡¯s scream rang in the cell when he witnessed the atrocity. Immediately, he notified the warden of this peculiar news.

    Quickly, a few wardens entered and carried off the blood-soaked Nessie.

    One of the wardens let out a depressing sigh beforementing, ¡°Why won¡¯t this guy agree to a surgery? If this continues, he will die soon orter.¡±

    Zhao Yao could not resist the urge to pry some information from the warden as he sprang on this opportunity to ask, ¡°Was his temper always like this? Or did he turn more bad-tempered recently?¡±

    The warden simply shot Zhao Yao a disdainful re before turning his body towards the exit. He waspletely uninterested in Zhao Yao¡¯s question.

    A pulse mmed in Zhao Yao¡¯s neck and he immediately activated Sixth Sense, ¡°Trust me, you want to talk to me. You crave for an opportunity to chat with me!¡±

    Instead, the warden threw his hand over his mouth to suppress a yawn andmented, ¡°Ahh, I¡¯m so tired. This job is getting really dull. Maybe, I should just apply for a one week leave.¡±

    ¡°What the f*ck?¡± Anger rolled through Zhao Yao as he thought, ¡°This man must be an extremelyzy individual! Recently, I¡¯ve dedicated all my time to the different missions in hopes of upgrading Elizabeth! Such thoughts will never exist in my head!¡±

    Seeing the warden disappear into the alley, Zhao Yao had no choice but to trigger Sixth Sense once more. This time around, he frantically poured his own thoughts into the warden¡¯s head.

    Finally, it happened. The warden stopped before turning his head around to face Zhao Yao.

    The warden simply spat on the ground in front of Zhao Yao before mumbling, ¡°You deserve to spend the rest of your life behind bars for being so handsome!¡±

    Before Zhao Yao could refute, the warden had already disappeared behind the bend. It was as if a spear had impaled through Zhao Yao¡¯s heart as he stomped his foot against the iron bars, ¡°What kind of lousy power is this? I guess this makes Elizabeth¡¯s upgrade imperative.¡±

    Failing to extract any useful information out from the warden, Zhao Yao could only ce his hopes on his three ipetent cellmates: Xiao Ming, ck Panther, and William.

    For some reason, their chests tightened with fear the moment they made eye contact with this seemingly ordinary middle-aged man. Even goosebumps popped up all over their bodies.

    Initially, they attributed this to Zhao Yao¡¯s manhandling of Nessie.

    However, Zhao Yao¡¯s stern gaze was immediately reced with an amiable smile as he asked, ¡°Do you guys happen to know him? Was he always so bad-tempered?¡±

    The three of them shot each other a nce before shaking their head in unison.

    Something was amiss. There was definitely a reason behind Nessie¡¯s change in behavior and the tantly violent behavior exhibited on the yground. Zhao Yao continued to ask, ¡°Has there been any unexpected changes which you¡¯ve observed in the prison? Maybe some random prison mates have turned unusually violent or is there an uptick in the number of fights?¡±

    ck Panther and Xiao Ming immediately shook their heads as they exined, ¡°We have no idea. We¡¯re also neers.¡±

    However, Zhao Yao¡¯s words struck a chord with William as his forehead furrowed slightly. Now that Zhao Yao has mentioned it, there was indeed something that¡¯s been bothering William. His eyes darted towards Zhao Yao as he asked, ¡°Do you think something bad has happened to this prison?¡±

    William¡¯s response caught Zhao Yao by surprise but he still answered, ¡°Yes, Cat King of the West build this prison with hopes or rehabilitating the inhabitants, help them turn over a new leaf. However, I¡¯ve only observed violence, violence and more violence since setting foot in this ce.¡±

    All of them looked nkly forward as though they were considering Zhao Yao¡¯s words.

    William nodded his head and added, ¡°When I was first here, the atmosphere was significantly more hospitable than what it is now. Nowadays, I do notice that people have turned increasingly violent.¡±

    William¡¯s observation corroborated Zhao Yao¡¯s hypothesis. In the past, Cat King of the West¡¯s teaching had steadily steered the inmates towards a better life. However, the recent trend had caused aplete switch in the direction they were headed towards.

    However, there was not much important information that William could provide Zhao Yao with.

    Hence, after this brief exchange, the four of them returned to their beds for a rest. One hourter, it was admin time for the human prisoners.

    Following behind a gang of prisoners towards the yground, Zhao Yao observed the inmates separating into their individual groups. Some were chatting, while others werezing. Some were even lifting weights.

    After a brief observation, Zhao Yao approached a fellow inmate and started a casual conversation, ¡°What a busy day at the yground, don¡¯t you agree?¡±

    The inmate shot Zhao Yao a re before he walked off in the opposite direction.

    However, Zhao Yao caught up to him and continued, ¡°Do you get the feeling that there¡¯s something weird about the prison?¡±

    ¡°I think you are the one that¡¯s weird.¡± The prisoner replied with a roll of his eyes before leaving.

    Zhao Yao threw his palm over his face and muttered, ¡°I guess I was never the best at collecting intel from these banters. That leaves me with one option: my superpower.¡±

    With the decision made, Zhao Yao approached his next target. By concentrating his attention on a single thought, he once again activated the Sixth Sense. He was screaming in his head, ¡°Trust me! Trust me! Trust me! Talk to me! Engage me! Reply me!¡±

    The target froze for a split second before noticing Zhao Yao¡¯s approach. He finally came to his senses when Zhao Yao probed the situation within the prison. With a wide grin, he replied, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s true. The situation in the prison has turned really bad recently.¡±

    A glimmer of shock shed through Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes as he thought, ¡°Did I seed? Did the Sixth Sense seed? Has he temporarily regarded me as someone trustworthy?¡±

    Riding on the wave of the initial sess, Zhao Yao continued to probe, ¡°Do you remember when this change urred? Did anything special happen when this change first urred?¡±

    The target started to chuckle before grabbing Zhao Yao¡¯s palm in his hands, ¡°Don¡¯t get all impatient. We can go over there and have a good long talk.¡±

    Instantly, goosebumps erupted all over Zhao Yao¡¯s body. He knew there was something fishy behind that expression of his.

    Naturally, Zhao Yao was clueless that his Sixth Sense activation had actually failed. The thought which he had sessfully imnted into his head was not that he was trustworthy. Instead, it was the thought that he was extremely handsome.

    Instinctively, Zhao Yao quickly withdrew his hands from the tight grip. However, the target¡¯s next action was a clear sign that something was wrong.

    With a wave of his arm, the target threw a soap in Zhao Yao¡¯s direction before asking politely, ¡°Could you kindly help me retrieve my soap?¡± With his eyes on Zhao Yao¡¯s butt, he started to lick his lips seductively.

    ¡°What the f*ck, could you at least pretend to be a little more discreet? Are you afraid that other¡¯s don¡¯t know that you¡¯re a gay?¡±

    Bam! Zhao Yao immediately mmed his palm against the target¡¯s head, knocking him unconscious. However, the surrounding people watched on as if it were a show. None of them seemed interested in intervening.

    Zhao Yao could only sigh with regret, ¡°I guess this is the drawback for looking so good. I always knew that I¡¯m handsome. Hence, I might identally imnt this thought in others when trying to perform Sixth Sense.¡±

    ¡°D*mn it! My good looks have hindered my abilities but what can I do about it? God, why did you have to make me so handsome?¡±

    With one inmate unconscious, Zhao Yao had no choice but to move on to the next.

    However, his actions have been noticed by a few wardens.

    ¡°This new guy here seems to be poking his nose around. Should we inform Mike about it?¡±

    A middle-aged man, with a neck as thick as a tree trunk, shook his head, ¡°That American cannot be trusted. Furthermore, what can a powerless apostle do?¡±

    The man continued to observe Zhao Yao running around the yground and sniggered, ¡°If he really tries anything funny, we¡¯ll simply sell him. A young apostle like him is worth quite a lot of money.¡±

    With the warden¡¯s conversation echoing at the back of his head, Zhao Yao immediately shot them down with a re.

    Obviously, no one knew just how sensitive Zhao Yao¡¯s hearing was with the aid of ¡®five is better than four¡¯. Despite the distance between the wardens and Zhao Yao, he could still pick up a few words from their conversations, trouble, apostle and even money.

    ¡°Hmm, so the prisoners are not the only problems over here?¡± Zhao Yao propped his chin on his hand as he considered. However, he wasn¡¯t surprised at all. After all, it was only natural for this problem to spread to the wardens now that Cat King of the West and the prisoners were affected.

    However, Zhao Yao decided to close one eye to it for now and focused his attention on the prisoners for some helpful intel. He would save the wardens for future interrogations.

    Sadly, none of the apostles he approachedted him any useful information until he met an acquaintance. His eyes sparkled with excitement when he caught sight of the Japanese.

    It was none other than the shadow-manipting Ishida and his two subordinates, Onitsuka and Sato.

    With excitement racing through him, Zhao Yao dashed forward and asked, ¡°How are you? Are you from Japan? How do you find China?¡±

    A frown appeared on Ishida¡¯s face when he heard that insensitive question and thought, ¡°Are you blind? Please take a look at our situation? Do you think we are in a position to enjoy China?¡±

    However, his mouth was sealed. Instead, Sato took a step forward before shoving Zhao Yao to a corner and screamed, ¡°Bakayaro, get out of our way!¡±

    But something weird happened. It felt as if Zhao Yao¡¯s body was rooted to the ground and Sato couldn¡¯t even move his body a single inch.

    After all, Zhao Yao¡¯s body was strengthened with ¡®five is better than four¡¯. Someone of Sato¡¯s caliber definitely could not push him around as he wished.

    Hence, Onitsuka decided to join in and surrounded this arrogant man. With rage sweeping through them, they confronted, ¡°Chinese man, are you trying to test our patience?¡±

    Even without their powers, the three individuals were exponents of the sacred katana. Coupled with their superior body and extensivebat experience, they were a force to be reckoned with.

    Sensing the hostility in the air, Zhao Yao responded with a half shrug of his shoulders, ¡°Actually, I mean no harm. I¡¯m just trying to ask some questions. Have you observed any strange changes in the prison?¡±

    While speaking, Zhao Yao activated his Sixth Sense once more as a flow of thoughts streamed into Ishida¡¯s body.

    ¡°Trust me, I¡¯m a dependable person! Trust me!¡±

    There was a flicker in Ishida¡¯s eyes. Somehow, in the depth of his eyes, Ishida had added ayer of trust for Zhao Yao.

    To everyone¡¯s surprise, Ishida¡¯s lips parted as he replied, ¡°Indeed, I sense some mysterious changes brewing underneath this very ground.¡±

    Sato and Onitsuka¡¯s jaws went ck when they saw how easily Ishida broke his silence, ¡°Boss, you!¡±

    Ishida shut them up with a wave of his hand before continuing, ¡°These changes have existed for quite some time. Anyone with a functioning brain would have observed it already. But what can we do about it? After all, we are powerless apostles that amount to nothing.¡±

    Joy overwhelmed him as Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Hahaha, my ability finally seeded!¡±

    Hearing Ishida¡¯s despondent words, Zhao Yao immediately encouraged him, ¡°That might not be the case. Every matter is bound to have its weakness and vulnerability. If we pool our knowledge together and try to effect change, it would be better than being sitting ducks. Don¡¯t you agree?¡±

    If this conversation was done without the aid of Sixth Sense, Ishida would havepletely ignored Zhao Yao¡¯s words. However, Sixth Sense had somehow instilled Ishida¡¯s confidence in Zhao Yao.

    Hence, Ishida nodded his head and replied, ¡°You might be right. However, I have to admit that I do not know much. Firstly, the people in this prison have turned increasingly grouchy. This applies to my subordinates as well. At first, I thought it was a problem with the administration but then I realize it was something far more dangerous. Some unknown strength was working insidiously in an individual¡¯s mind, unleashing their darkest, most violent self.¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin thoughtfully and asked, ¡°Other than this, are there any strange things that have happened?¡±

    With a smile spread across his face, Ishida answered, ¡°Oh there is. Inmates have gone missing.¡±

    ¡°Missing?¡±

    ¡°Yes, some inmates have never appeared for a long time. They imed that they have gone for medical treatment or were thrown in solitary confinement. Some were even rumored to have their sentences shortened. These prison gates are like a monster¡¯s mouth, swallowing every prisoner that went through it.¡±

    More hypothesis flooded Zhao Yao¡¯s mind after his interaction with Ishida. Later, he would continue his reconnaissance with other inmates only to receive the same news.

    Meanwhile, after Zhao Yao had lifted his Sixth Sense, Ishida was struck with a weird realization, ¡°What just happened? Why did I suddenly trust this man so much?¡±

    Immediately, Zhao Yao¡¯s gaze gravitated towards the bunch of muscr men frantically working out in the fitness area. Each of them either had a dumbbell, barbell or a kettlebell in hand.

    A frown tugged at his lips as Zhao Yao considered, ¡°I never expected to meet Muscle Society here. Were they thrown here as well? But where is Butcher?¡±

    Suddenly, images of the previous cat kingpetition flooded his mind. From his memory, Butcher had been sessfully rehabilitated by Cat King of the West and was now a subordinate of Inspector Ho.

    Even though Zhao Yao abhorred the idea of interacting with Muscle Society, the promise of extracting something useful out of them coerced him to approach them.

    ¡°Hi, how are all of you doing?¡±

    A man, who looked like someone who just entered a bodybuildingpetition, approached Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°Hey cute guy, who are you looking for?¡±

    Worry snaked through Zhao Yao when those disgusting words rang in his head. This time, Zhao Yao dared not experiment with Sixth Sense. After all, the risk of 10 muscr men chasing him around should he fail proved too much of a deterrent. He just wanted to rinse his eyes with detergent as those images shed in his head.

    Zhao Yao could only reply, ¡°Sorry, I think you misunderstood my intentions. I¡¯m as straight as an iron bar. I only like women.¡±

    ¡°Iron bar?¡± The muscr bloke pped a hand over his mouth and sniggered, ¡°Hey, did you know that my nickname is the iron chrysanthemum?¡±

    Zhao Yao was speechless as cold sweat beaded his forehead. He just wanted to leave right there and then.

    ¡°Scary, too scary! This guy¡¯s aura is just over the chart! He¡¯s not even human!¡±

    However, just when Zhao Yao was about to leave, the man who was in the midst of a bench press stood up and said, ¡°That¡¯s enough Chrysanthemum, stop scaring our guests.¡± After taking a few quick sniffs, he looked towards Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Long time no see. I guess you have also noticed the changes in the prison.¡±

    Other than Butcher, Muscle Societyprised of three other top-tier fighters. During Butcher¡¯s period of absence, they were the temporary boss of the organization.

    His body strength and five senses easily surpassed that of any ordinary men. With a few quick sniffs, he had detected Zhao Yao¡¯s familiar scent.

    ¡°F*ck, I¡¯m too careless,¡± Zhao Yao whispered under his breath, ¡°I forgot about all those psychos inside Muscle Society and failed to mask my scent.¡± However, Zhao Yao simply shrugged his shoulders and yed dumb, ¡°Do I know you?¡±

    Champion reached for the towel from his subordinate before carefully wiping the sweat on his forehead, ¡°I don¡¯t care if you intend to hide your identity from me. However, you should have noticed the anomalies around here. Many apostles, supercats including our dear Cat King of the West have gone out of control. I¡¯m sure you would like to put an end to this craziness.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s brows snapped together as he rified, ¡°What do you know about it?¡±

    ¡°Butcher, Tank Top, ck Robes have all gone missing,¡± Champion muttered with a sigh, ¡°They said they¡¯lle and visit me but they left and never returned.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes at this trivialint and retorted, ¡°Maybe they never wanted to return here.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s impossible,¡± Champion¡¯s adamant voice interrupted Zhao Yao, ¡°We promised to stay together forever. They¡¯ll never abandon me unless something disastrous happened. Also, they left under rather unorthodox circumstances. They haven¡¯t even finished serving their time. I¡¯m sure they were taken away by force.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes nced skywards as he asked, ¡°What evidence do you have to prove your point?¡±

    Champion replied, ¡°A few days ago, I heard Butcher¡¯s voice in my head. It came from underneath the ground.¡±

    These words instantly seized Zhao Yao¡¯s attention. How was it even possible? However, Champion¡¯s body was strengthened incredibly by Sphynx Cat¡¯s power. His five senses easily surpassed that of a normal man. It was natural for him to hear things beyond what regr humans were capable of.

    Suddenly, a golden exmation mark had appeared above Champion¡¯s head.

    ¡°I understand that you might not like me. However, we have truly changed for the better under Cat King of the West¡¯s teaching, but the changes in the prison halted our transformation. Hence, implore you to save me, save us, save Butcher.¡±

    With that, Champion shot Zhao Yao a desperate yet hopeful nce.

    Mission: Save muscle

    Objective: Rescue Butcher, Tank Top, and ck Robes

    Reward: 1000 experience points

    Punishment: Nil

    Obviously, Zhao Yao epted the mission without hesitation before nodding his head, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m known for my generosity. I give you my word, I will save your friends.¡±

    For the next half an hour, Zhao Yao continued his parade across the yground to no avail. Before admin time ended, the two wardens who were discussing Zhao Yao¡¯s behavior called for him.

    ¡°Hey you,e over here.¡±

    Zhao Yao slid both of them a nce but did not utter a single word. He simply followed behind the duo.

    Evidently, Zhao Yao¡¯s unusual behavior had aroused their suspicion. Their eyes were filled with both animosity and bitterness.

    However, the more muscr one of the duo seemed somewhat sympathetic to Zhao Yao¡¯s predicament.

    If this had happened just a few weeks or even a few days ago, all Zhao Yao would receive was a punch to the face. Then, the matter would have been resolved.

    However, now that Cat King of the West¡¯s situation had reached the final stage, the prison was also about to wee its final changes. Hence, it was only a matter of time before they left the prison alongside Mike, making this theirst shot at earning some extra bucks. This ordinary-looking man before them was just at the wrong ce at the wrong time.

    The two wardens led Zhao Yao through a narrow zigzag tunnel before stopping at a giant electric iron gate. The warden punched the password in quick session as the gate swung open. Immediately, the trio walked through it, towards the underground corridor.

    The more muscr warden stood behind Zhao Yao and nudged him forward. With a snap of his fingers, tiny swirls of wind appeared on his fingertips.

    The muscr warden was cool yet stern with his words, ¡°Do you see this? I want you to understand that I am an apostle while you¡¯re an ordinary man with an electric cor fitted to your neck. Don¡¯t do anything stupid that will threaten your wellbeing.¡±

    With these words said, the muscr warden hadpletely prepared himself for any potential resistance. After all, this ce was filled with deranged individuals. Coupled with their increasing bad temper, such resistance was only to be expected. A physical brawl was just one of many possibilities.

    However, Zhao Yao¡¯s reaction was beyond his expectation. He simplyplied with his words.

    The muscr warden lifted his shoulders in a half shrug before shoving Zhao Yao forward with a hard push, ¡°Alright, you have made the correct decision. Now,e with us.¡±

    The trio continued to meander through this snaking passage. A dimly litmp hanged from the ceiling every 10 meters, barely illuminating this dingy passage.

    However, Zhao Yao¡¯s night vision was greatly enhanced by ¡®five is better than four¡¯. Thus, what others would perceive aspletely dark was actually extremely clear in Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°All these muddy paths. There are also signs of recent digging but it¡¯s not made using a tool. Instead ... it¡¯s made by superpower?¡±

    Zhao Yao continued to observe as he pondered, ¡°This underground space was only recently created with the use of a superpower. This is too easy. I¡¯ll be able to uncover the reason behind all these anomalies in the prison soon!¡±

    Shortly, they found themselves entering a tiny room at the end of the passage. Approximately four or five men were sitting inside, dressed in the warden¡¯s clothes. A smile spread across their face when they noticed Zhao Yao¡¯s arrival.

    ¡°Ah Kong, you brought someone here again?¡±

    ¡°This guys seems so normal. I don¡¯t think he can fetch a good price.¡±

    ¡°Have you told Mike about this? He already instructed us to stop capturing new apostles.¡±

    The man, who was referred to as Ah Kong, gave a dismissive wave of his hand, ¡°Hmph, he¡¯s not even our own men. Why would I care about what he thinks? Isn¡¯t that right, Boss?¡±

    Ah Kong pressed his face towards a well-tanned teen.

    The teen had a book in his hand and responded with an indifferent nod of his head.

    From the outside, he looked like any other ordinary student. However, everyone would always nce in his direction before making any slight movement. Evidently, this dark-skinned teen was no ordinary student.

    They continued their conversations withplete disregard for Zhao Yao¡¯s existence. After all, Zhao Yao was just a powerless apostle. What could he possibly do to them without his power?

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao also had no time to pay attention to them. His eyes were already locked on to a cell lying in the corner. Within this steel cage stood tens of prisoners locked inside. Their faces were a mixture of anger, desperation, and despondency.

    Hearing Ah Kong¡¯s impudent words echoing throughout their cell, one of the prisoners shouted in response, ¡°All you scums of Talon! The government will never forgive any of you! The sale of an apostle is the greatest taboo of this nation!¡±

    These words only managed to elicit waves ofughter from their wardens. Ah Kong simply snapped his fingers and sent a swirl of wind tunneling into the cell and mmed the prisoner against the floor. Consequently, he howled in pain.

    Then, Ah Kong began to flex his muscles in front of Zhao Yao and threatened, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to end up like him, just enter the cell on your own.¡±

    Zhao Yao was caught in disbelief as he mumbled, ¡°You guys are from Talon? You are nning to sell the apostles inside this prison?¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes! You¡¯re so smart! Can you go in now?¡± Ah Kong shouted.

    Zhao Yao did not reply. Instead, his gaze was locked onto the cell and the orientation of this underground room.

    Currently, there were two exits in this room, the cell, Ah Kong and the remaining Talon members disguised as wardens.

    The first exit was the one they took to arrive here. However, Zhao Yao saw no signs of Butcher, Tank Top and ck Robes inside the cage.

    ¡°Hmmm, I guess my mission isn¡¯t over yet. Despite knowing the infiltration of Talon forces in the prison coupled with the knowledge of the illegal sales of apostles, it¡¯s still not everything.¡± Zhao Yao repeatedly tapped against the plete¡¯ button yet nothing happened.

    ¡°What am I supposed to do? Should I just beat them up and extract all the info from their mouths?¡± Zhao Yao shook his head and pondered, ¡°However, the mission instructed me to disguise myself as a prisoner to investigate the underlying reason behind the changes. If I expose my identity now, wouldn¡¯t my mission fail instantly?

    Suddenly, a glimmer of excitement shed across his eyes, ¡°Oh yes, maybe I can talk to them about it.¡±

    Meanwhile, there was already a tinge of impatientness in Ah Kong¡¯s eyes as he barked, ¡°Hey, what are you waiting for? If you don¡¯t go in now ...¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes!¡± Zhao Yao chirped along happily and came to the entrance to the cell. He gave the door a few pushes but it wouldn¡¯t budge, ¡°This is locked and I can¡¯t get in. Can someonee over and help me?¡±

    The wardens simply shot each other a nce and found his behaviorpletely weird. However, he was just another powerless ordinary man, what could he possibly do to them?

    Hence, Ah Kong went forward and opened the door for him, ¡°Go in, now.¡±

    Zhao Yao found a spot to sit on before propping his chin on his fist. He intended to go straight to Sixth Sense. If he could analyze the situation in the prison by simply asking them, it would naturally be the most ideal solution.

    ¡°Trust me. Trust me. I am the most trustworthy person in this entire prison.¡±

    The invisible waves started to sweep towards the wardens¡¯ direction. Momentster, they simplyid on the floor and got all lethargic.

    ¡°D*mn it!¡± Zhao Yao mumbled as he quivered with indignation, ¡°Why did this power fail again? It¡¯s not even reliable at all!¡±

    Unbeknownst to Zhao Yao, not all members of Talon were actually apostles. Amongst them, the teen who Ah Kong orded immense respect to was actually an ordinary man.

    The only reason why an ordinary man like him was allowed to join the rest on such a perilous mission was that God of Death had alreadypletely controlled his consciousness. He was simply his puppet.

    With these puppets, God of Death could orchestrate everything while staying put in a safe and secure position. Nothing happened without his knowledge.

    The tanned teen shook his legs andmented, ¡°I don¡¯t wanna work anymore, maybe we should just disband Talon altogether.¡±

    ...

    At the same time, a weird change was urring across thousands of people in the South.

    All whose consciousness was controlled by God of Death had suddenly turned all indolent.

    One of the housewives simply jumped on a sofa andined, ¡°Nah, I don¡¯t want to do any more housework. Maybe, I should just file for divorce.¡±

    One of the employees opened his email and started framing his resignation letter, ¡°No matter how hard I try, I¡¯ll never be able to afford my own house. I should just quit.¡±

    Along the streets, rows and rows of cars simply stopped against the pavements. Their drivers reclinedpletely against the seat and thought, ¡°What¡¯s the point of all these? I just wanna be a fish in the sea.¡±

    The countless puppets under God of Death started contacting the apostles working beneath them and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry but I¡¯m so tired from all the things which Talon has asked of me. Hence, I¡¯ve decided to disband the organisation.¡±

    Within a split second, the entire South had weed an unprecedented and abnormal change. Tens of thousands of workers suddenly went on strike which led to hundreds of reporters flocking to this juicy news. In turn, it had changed into the hottest topic amongst experts and researchers.

    ...

    With a line etched across his forehead, Zhao Yao thought, ¡°I don¡¯t believe it.¡± Hence, he activated Sixth Sense once again.

    ¡°Trust me, trust me. I am the most dependable person in the whole world!¡±

    Suddenly, the wardens acted as if they were possessed by a spirit as they leaped to their feet.

    ¡°Where is my phone?¡±

    ¡°Do you guys know what is the wifi here?¡±

    ¡°I want my Mobile Legends!¡±

    Zhao Yao was baffled by this scene, ¡°What the f*ck. I have not yed the game for the past entire week. Am I really that thirsty? This power is simply sabotaging my reputation.¡±

    ...

    In the South, another weird phenomenon had swept across its citizens. Those under God of Death¡¯s control started downloading Mobile Legends and even bought in-game cash. Hence, the earning of Mobile Legends increased by millions in a single day.

    A teacher who was originally lying on the floor stood up and started ying Mobile Legends on his podium.

    A mayor who was in the midst of an important discussion took out his phone and downloaded Mobile Legends, ¡°Just stop this meeting already. How about a round of Mobile Legends?¡±

    One of the bosses of a certain gamingpany whipped out his phone but did not download Mobile Legends. Instead, he contacted someone and instructed, ¡°Hey, get me all the newest and best skins for my Mobile Legend¡¯s ount.¡±

    After rying their initial instruction to disband Talon, the puppets ryed the next one.

    ¡°I¡¯ve given serious consideration about it and disbanding Talon might not be the best option. We should all just y Mobile Legends instead.¡±

    In a matter of hours, Mobile Legends experienced an exponential increase in their earnings. Consequently, they were ridiculed by parents and educators as the new generation¡¯s drug, prompting policymakers to effect a change.

    ...

    Inspector Ho eximed, ¡°What? Talon is about to be disbanded?¡±

    Old Man Zhuang screamed, ¡°What? Talon intends to turn into an independent team ying Mibole Legends?¡±

    ...

    This time around, Zhao Yao stroked his chin thoughtfully and chose not to spring into action. He sat cross-legged on the floor, with his eyes observing the few addicted members.

    ¡°I have to clear myself of all evil thoughts.¡±

    ¡°I need to focus.¡±

    ¡°Get rid of all distracting thoughts.¡±

    After meditating for close to a minute, Zhao Yao opened his eyes and sent another invisible wave sweeping towards the wardens.

    ¡°Trust me!¡±

    Shooo!

    Immediately, they ced their phones in their pockets and werepletely baffled by what just happened.

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°Why was I so drawn to Mobile Legends just now?¡±

    Consequently, a scowl was hanging on the teen¡¯s face as he thought, ¡°D*mn it, what¡¯s happening? Why did all the puppets suddenly go out of control simultaneously? What is happening? Did someone try to attack me?¡±

    His brain began to wrap around all possibilities in lightning speed, ¡°The first objective was clear. He wanted me to turn into a fish and disband Talon, but what about the second one? Why did he want me to y Mobile Legends? Unless ... Is that guy a member of Moonton? Is he trying to cheat me of my money? No, this doesn¡¯t make sense ...¡±

    His brain was processing gazillions of information and yet he failed to recognize the anomaly before him. After all, God of Death controlled up to thousands of puppets at any one time, making it impossible to detect the tiniest details. However, he could derive the truth if given sufficient time.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao believed that he was on the verge of sess. Hence, he began screaming in the wardens¡¯ directions, ¡°Hey, since you¡¯ve already captured me, can you at least tell me what¡¯s happening?¡±

    Initially, Ah Kong felt a strong urge to berate him. However, the feeling disappeared as quickly as it came as he remarked, ¡°Alright, since there¡¯s no way you¡¯re returning to China for the rest of your life. I¡¯ll give you the honor of knowing the truth before you die.¡±

    A glimmer shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes as he cheered, ¡°Yay! That¡¯s great! I don¡¯t mind dying as long as I learn about the truth!¡±

    Before Ah Kong managed to open his mouth, a gust of wind had swept across this underground room.

    Zhao Yao just felt a searing pain erupting from his kidney as a familiar voice rang from behind him.

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, I didn¡¯t mean to do it.¡±

    Zhao Yao turned around to the revolting sight of ck Panther with a cat resting on his shoulders. Somehow, he also managed to get Xiao Ming along.

    ¡°Why can¡¯t you just let meplete my mission peacefully?¡± Zhao Yao was pressing against his waist as he panted, ¡°ck Panther, from today onwards we¡¯ll no longer be friends. Please don¡¯t treat me as your brother. I¡¯m begging you!¡±

    ck Panther was scratching his head awkwardly for he had no idea how he ended up in this ce.

    Originally, his supercats came for him in an attempt to rescue him.

    Even though their powers afforded supercats the convenience of moving around unrestrictedly, both ck Panther and Xiao Ming were still restrained by their electric cors. Unless the master control permitted the removal of the cor, any other attempts at it would result in it emitting a copious amount of electricity, sufficient to kill most people.

    Hence, ck Panther had not nned to escape when his cat came for him. Instead, he nned to remove his cor with his own power.

    However, when he activated his power, he found himself surrounded by a group of strangers who he had never met in his life.

    The situation turned even more bafflingly after hearing what Zhao Yao said. ck Panther stared at him with a confused look and asked, ¡°Do I know you?¡±

    Zhao Yao could only p his hand over his forehead out of anguish.

    Meanwhile, Ah Kong and the remaining wardens had already gotten on their feet and were walking in the cell¡¯s direction.

    With their eyes locked onto this unfamiliar man, they asked, ¡°Hey kid, who are you?¡±

    The tension in the air was palpable. Regardless of who ck Panther actually was, the very fact that he had barged into this ce meant that he was not going to leave unscathed.

    ck Panther was no idiot and immediately detected the hostility arising from their approach. With his brows locked together, ck Panther mumbled, ¡°D*mn it, did I identally enter the warden¡¯s resting area?¡± Immediately, he grabbed onto Xiao Ming before disappearing.

    Bam!

    ¡°Ahhh ...¡± Zhao Yao moaned as he pinned ck Panther down with his death re, ¡°What the f*ck was that for?¡±

    ck Panther raised his shoulders in an awkward shrug before replying, ¡°I¡¯m so sorry but I¡¯m only able to teleport to this area.¡±

    ¡°What the f*ck man ...¡± Zhao Yao mumbled under his breath as he let out a series of violent coughs.

    ck Panther was still rather concerned for his condition and asked, ¡°Are you okay?¡±

    Zhao Yao threw his arm forward and intercepted ck Panther¡¯s hands before screaming, ¡°Just get out of my sight! Do note near me!¡±

    Bam! Vortexes of violent wind emerged from the apostles¡¯ bodies as they ran toward ck Panther¡¯s direction.

    Despite their very best efforts at evading the punches, both ck Panther and Xiao Ming were still overwhelmed by the attacks. Zhao Yao knew they could not hold on for long and could only sigh in despair before he gave a flick of his fingers. With that, the invisible deflective field emerged and unbolted the heavy iron gate.

    ¡°Maybe I should just let ck Panther and the rest escape. A chaotic prison might actually help me inpleting the mission.¡± Zhao Yao thought about it before deciding, ¡°Let¡¯s get it on then.¡±

    Bam! With onest punch, the lock came loose and the gate swung open to ck Panther¡¯s delight. His eyes gleamed with excitement as he darted for the exit.

    However, this all-important exit might easily turn into the gates to hell. With all eyes locked onto their movement, ck Panther¡¯s escapemenced.

    Immediately, members of Talon activated their power simultaneously, turning the violent gusts of wind into a menacing tornado. With its monstrous strength, the tornado shot straight towards ck Panther¡¯s position.

    ck Panther¡¯s jaw hit the ground when he saw the disaster before his eyes. Hence, he grabbed onto Xiao Ming before disappearing once more.

    Bam! Thebined strength of their powers was incredible. The impact of the violent explosion was enough to contort the prison bars into all sorts of shapes. ck Panther¡¯s heart skipped a beat when he noticed the devastation they created. However, he suddenly copsed to the floor from an intense pain radiating from his bruised palm.

    Zhao Yao looked towards him with a smug smile spread across his face, ¡°Hey, are you okay?¡±

    Tears welled up in ck Panther¡¯s eyes as he observed Zhao Yao¡¯s lower back, ¡°Hey bro, I think you might have a few kidney stones in your body. Your back is even harder than cement!¡±

    ¡°You are the one with kidney stones, r*tard.¡± Zhao Yao scoffed with a scowl. Zhao Yao purposely activated a deflective field above his kidney in order to defend himself against ck Panther¡¯s blind attack, before shouting, ¡°Just get out! Leave from where you came from!¡±

    ck Panther¡¯s chest tightened with fear when he watched Ah Kong¡¯s gang inching towards him with the tornado swirling behind them. He shook his head and exined, ¡°I can¡¯t escape! You¡¯re the only spot that I can teleport to!¡±

    ¡°F*ck you! You can teleport to all of your family members!¡±

    A glimmer of hope shed across ck Panther¡¯s face as he mumbled, ¡°How did you know that I could teleport to my family? But it¡¯s no use! None of them are here! They don¡¯t even answer any of my calls!¡±

    ¡°Alright, alright!¡± Zhao Yao interrupted him with his hand pressed against his hip, ¡°So you don¡¯t have any brothers here, is it?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s pupils constricted into vertical slits before invisible waves swept off in all direction. Sixth Sense was triggered.

    ¡°All of you are long lost brothers! All of you are long lost brothers! All of you are long lost brothers!¡±

    However, Zhao Yao was not absolutely confident in his abilities and could only pray for its sess, ¡°Please, let it work.¡±

    Meanwhile, ck Panther¡¯s expression had changed radically as he looked expectantly towards his surroundings, ¡°I can feel it ... I can hear it ... all my brothers are calling for me!¡±

    A delighted smile tugged at Zhao Yao¡¯s lips as he thought, ¡°Did it seed?¡±

    Meanwhile, Ah Kong and the gang were already preparing for their next wave of attack. This time around, the swirls of violent wind had already morphed into a huge dragon encircling their bodies. It was as if the dragon itself was howling as it turned more and more tangible. You could even notice the distortion of space around it.

    They had no intentions of allowing ck Panther to escape. They were going for the kill.

    However, ck Panther instantly materialized behind one of the wardens, with his fist thrust into his lower back. The man let out an agonizing scream as he copsed to the floor. Consequently, the menacing dragon began to slowly disappear from the air.

    Ah Kong and the rest lout a deafening roar when they noticed ck Panther¡¯s sneak attack. They immediately tried to direct their next attack at ck Panther but he was too fast for them. In a split second, he had appeared behind Ah Kong with his fist mmed against his lower back

    ¡°D*mn it, be careful of what¡¯s behind you!¡±

    ¡°This guy knows how to teleport! Be careful! Do not hurt yourself or the people around you!¡±

    ¡°Be extra careful with your kidney! He always aims for it every single time!¡±

    ¡°But isn¡¯t he our brother? Why do we have to attack him?¡±

    ¡°Even our best brother should not infiltrate this ce without permission!¡±

    ck Panther¡¯s peculiar ability was renowned for its speed and quickness. However, he was not without his favorite weapon, rendering his attack extremely weak. On the other hand, Ah Kong and the gang were affected by Zhao Yao¡¯s Sixth Sense. Hence, both parties could not deal the finishing move to each other. They could only attack and retreat simultaneously. Soon, they had disappeared into the depths of the tunnel.

    Zhao Yao watched the intense fight disappearing beyond the bend and thought, ¡°Did it actually seed? However, this illusion is inplete contrast with their memories and knowledge. Hence, it should wear out pretty soon!¡±

    Zhao Yao looked around him and found himself surrounded by confused looking inmates and the tanned teen who had not moved a single inch since ck Panther¡¯s abrupt arrival.

    The inmates looked at the warden-less scene and the opened gates before a chorus of cheers erupted from them. Immediately, they ran straight for the exit and made their escape.

    The prisoners paid no attention to the tanned teen. After all, they were without their superpowers and he didn¡¯t seem to be much of a threat. Hence, they simply bolted towards the exit which fitted Zhao Yao¡¯s n to a tee.

    Zhao Yao too sauntered out of the cell, but he did not leave just yet. Instead, he approached the sitting teen that seemed deep in thought.

    <h4>Chapter 520: Assembly and Enmity</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    ¡°This guy has to know something, right?¡± Zhao Yao wondered.

    He tried to manipte the sixth sense again and, atst, seeded. The teenager, or rather, God of Death, raised his head. There was a pleasantly docile expression on his face when he asked, ¡°How may I help you?¡±

    ¡°Could you tell me what¡¯s going on here?¡± Zhao Yao muttered through half-pursed lips.

    There was a sh in the God of Death¡¯s eyes. A strange thought drifted across his mind, ¡°Why should I reveal anything to this man?¡±

    That would be the rational part of him speaking. Unfortunately, logic and reason reacted more slowly than the intuitive faculty of the sixth sense. Before he could register what was happening, the truth already began to tumble out of his mouth.

    ¡°We¡¯re here for the Cat King of the West. We would use him to take control of this prison and seize some of the apostles and supercats for our own. Ultimately, our end goal is to...¡±

    At this point, there was a sudden hardness in his eyes. His sense of rationality overcame blind instinct right before he divulged his greatest secret. Like before, when he proposed to disband Ivory and to y a match of King¡¯s Glory, the effect of the sixth sense on his actions was fleeting.

    When the God of Death nced at Zhao Yao again, the look on his face hadpletely changed.

    ¡°Him. He¡¯s the one who had tried to swindle me into wasting my money on that stupid game. This man...he can affect my emotions and personality? At least he has not recognized me or how powerful I am.¡±

    He now regarded Zhao Yao as his mortal enemy. He absolutely must dispose of him quickly. This stranger¡¯s superpower could very well be his Achilles¡¯ heel. Just the thought of it caused the little hairs on the back of his neck to stand.

    This flurry of thoughts rushed through the synapses of his brain in just one second. He only paused for a brief moment before he started speaking again.

    ¡°Our end goal is to takeplete control of the King of the West, take the more valuable supercats and apostles with us, then releasing the rest of these prisoners to cause chaos.¡±

    As the God of Death said this to Zhao Yao, he had also begun tomunicate with the puppets that were in the prison.

    ¡°Attention, everyone. There has been a change to today¡¯s mission. Now, you should be after one man and one man only. Seize him, then locate his supercats...¡±

    Zhao Yao had no clue that turbulent changes were underway. All he knew was that his mission was still iplete even though he had gotten an answer out of the teenager before him. This prompted him to ask more questions about the technicalities of the ultimate goal, but that did not work.

    ¡°Hmm? That¡¯s odd. Have I missed out something?¡± Zhao Yao deliberated, rereading his mission objective again, ¡°Do I have to gather intel from the supercats, thenbine it with what I currently know?¡±

    He snuck a peek at the teenager, then struck him with a karate chop on the back of his neck. The boy crumpled to the ground instantly and Zhao Yao dragged him to the other end of the passageway.

    In the meantime, the God of Death was trying desperately to assemble all of his men that were in the prison. They had to strike quickly and capture his enemy, this man of unremarkable appearance. Then, they had to force out of him the whereabouts of his cats.

    ¡°I cannot confront him myself. His power has too much sway over me. God knows what I might do next if he somehow influences me again. I shudder to think about the repercussions that might have on Ivory. My apostles would have to deal with him in my ce.

    Butcher can be in charge of apprehending the escapees. Everything else would have to wait. The only thing that matters now is to capture that man. I don¡¯t care if that jeopardizes our mission in the prison.¡±

    The God of Death¡¯s thoughts were shared with his men. Soon, they held onto these thoughts as tightly as if they were their own. They quickly assembled together in a pack.

    Ah Kong and his men had received and internalized these orders as well. They immediately stopped giving chase to ck Panther and headed back to join the crowd. There were only apostles, but no supercats, in their midst. The cats were too precious. There was no way they would be directly involved inbat.

    Ah Kong might have followed instructions obediently, but that did not mean that he was without questions.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why is everyone mobilized for this?¡± he asked.

    ¡°Dunno. Seems like we¡¯re all supposed to catch some guy.¡±

    At that moment, three towering figures gradually emerged from the darkness of the passageway. They belonged to the Muscle Society¡¯s Butcher, Champion, and Tank Top. They kept a painfully tight grip on Xiao Ming as well as ck Panther and his supercat. ck Panther might be able to teleport, but it was clear that his ability was quite useless against the prowess of Butcher and his men. He barely had time to react before they were captured in one swoop fell.

    Admiration shone on the faces of Ah Kong and the rest of the men.

    ¡°Butcher and his guys were the ones who caught them?¡±

    ¡°These three gay men are quite something, aren¡¯t they?¡±

    ¡°If those instructions came from anyone else but the God of Death, there¡¯s no way they would¡¯ve listened.¡±

    Butcher tossed the two men and the cat on the floor.

    ¡°Stay here. Do not move. If you move, I¡¯ll break all of your necks,¡± he threatened.

    ck Panther, his supercat, and Xiao Ming gulped at the same time. They cast fearful nces at each other.

    Butcher then turned to Ah Kong and the rest of the men, ¡°So, what¡¯s going on here?¡±

    Ah Kong was the only one who was courageous enough to respond to the hulk of a man. He told Butcher, ¡°An apostle managed to break in. We need your help to capture him.¡±

    He raised the smartphone in his hand and continued, ¡°The God is watching over us through video chat as we speak. He wants us to wait right here. Any time now, the apostle should appear...¡±

    Ah Kong pointed a finger towards the opening of a passageway that was a short distance away.

    ¡°Right there.¡±

    ¡°An apostle?¡± Butcher scoffed, ¡°We¡¯ve all been assembled here for just one apostle? Where is the God of Death? Is he still hiding while we¡¯re all here?¡±

    Ivory members that were gathered around the area prickled at his brash words. Displeasure was disyed inly across their faces, especially for the three highest-ranking apostles that were present.

    They stepped out and edged closer to Butcher.

    Unlike everyone else, they were not wearing the prison guard uniform. Instead, they were dressed casually. The man that led the trio had a head of purple hair. The remaining two had dyed their hair as well. One had red hair while the other had yellow.

    The purple-haired man spoke first, ¡°Seems like you still don¡¯t know your ce, Butcher. It¡¯s just one apostle. Team sh can deal with that on our own. You can piss off. We don¡¯tck apostles like you in Ivory.¡±

    Butcher stared down the three apostles standing before him. His lips curled into a cruel smirk.

    ¡°Indigo,¡± he addressed the purple-haired man, ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for the God of Death, you would be dead right now.¡±

    The men red at each other with a loathing so intense that it was almost palpable. The rest of the apostles could feel the tension but were not sure what to do about it.

    Indigo¡¯s trio had joined Ivory when the God of Death was wreaking havoc down south. The three men had known each other even before they were a part of the organization. They were known as Team sh and they were pretty powerful. In fact, they were some of the most formidable apostles in Ivory.

    Butcher¡¯s trio did not need much of an introduction. Even without the aid of a supercat, they were still physically strong enough to pose a legitimate threat to Team sh.

    Neither could tolerate the other.

    This stemmed from the overwhelmingly different circumstances that got them to join Ivory. Indigo¡¯s trio had volunteered to be part of the group because they recognized and admired its strength, while Butcher¡¯s trio was forced into it by the God of Death.

    The men did not respect each other and never saw eye to eye. This had resulted in quite a number of altercations between them, all over the smallest of issues.

    Just as they were about to break into another fight, Butcher whipped his head towards the opening of the passageway. There was a deep furrow in his brow.

    ¡°Something...something¡¯sing?¡±

    He was sure of this, but he could see absolutely nothing there.

    There was a quiver in his ears. Then, he sniffed the air. He could not make out any iing sounds or scents. However, he could sense that something wasing their way. He could feel some kind of sonic pulse that was eerily familiar.

    In an instant, the color had drained from Butcher¡¯s face.

    ¡°Retreat!¡± he shouted, ¡°All of you, retreat right now!¡±

    With Roly Poly cradled in his arms, Zhao Yao was able to remain invisible as he walked down the passageway.

    Now that Champion had recognized him, he had to conceal himself extra carefully. This required not only invisibility but Elizabeth¡¯s illusory powers as well. They ensured that no one would be able to see, hear, or even smell him.

    This should be at least 99% effective. Unfortunately, Butcher belonged to the 1% that could still sense his presence.

    After all, the illusions were carried and spread by sound waves. Having fought Zhao Yao before, Butcher knew how this worked. In fact, he had previously strained the muscles in his ears to block out the waves to protect himself from their reverberations.

    He had experienced first-hand what they felt like and the familiar sensations warned him that danger wasing, even though Zhao Yao was still hundreds of meters away.

    ¡°You must all retreat immediately! Hurry! If not, it¡¯ll be toote.¡±

    The bulk of the apostles were at a loss at how to respond to the Butcher¡¯s frightened outburst. Indigo, however, burst into raucousughter.

    ¡°Well, well, Butcher. The bark is certainly worse than the bite,¡± he taunted, ¡°Won¡¯t you look at your face right now? You¡¯re as terrified as a child. Not to worry, I promise not to bully you...¡±

    ¡°Idiot! Do you think I would be afraid of you?¡± Butcher spat, ¡°He ising. If you want to live to see tomorrow, you will listen to me and run.¡±

    He then shouted wildly, his voice echoing through the hall, ¡°God of Death! You¡¯ve made enemies with the wrong man. You must order a retreat instantly or we will all be dead. Your apostle is not just some man. He is the Headless Horseman!¡±

    ¡°So what if he is this Headless Horseman? If I want him, I will get him,¡± God of Death¡¯s defiant response boomed through the phone in Ah Kong¡¯s hand, ¡°For Christ¡¯s sake, get a grip on yourself, Butcher. Imand you to stay here with Team sh and finish him.¡±

    ¡°You are truly out of your depth here. This is the Headless Horseman we are talking about!¡± Butcher snarled, ¡°Tank Top, ck Robe, we¡¯re leaving. Now.¡±

    He knew perfectly well the true horror of the Horseman¡¯s powers. The apostles here were not his match. He did not want to think about what catastrophe would befall them if they were defeated and captured.

    ¡°Boss, is the Headless Horseman really here?¡±

    Tank Top and ck Robe had not quite reached the height of the Butcher¡¯s abilities yet, so they could not detect the approaching sound waves. Naturally, they were a little skeptical of what seemed to be an overreaction to nothing.

    ¡°Headless Horseman? Isn¡¯t that the Jiangmen City Cat King endorsed by the authorities?¡± Indigo piped in, boring his eyes into the Butcher, ¡°God of Death, sir, as I¡¯ve said before, these three beefcakes are of no use to you. Team sh can single-handedly solve any problem thates your way.¡±

    ¡°You idiots,¡± Butcher seethed.

    He knew that there was no point trying to convince these morons that fighting the Horseman was futile. They would have to learn this the hard way. When they fall at his feet, God of Death would know that he was telling the truth. However, he was not going to wait around for that to happen. He grabbed onto Tank Top and ck Robe, ready to hoist them out of here.

    He was just about to make his move when the God of Death¡¯s voice drifted menacingly from Ah Kong¡¯s phone, ¡°I have no idea what you n to do next, Butcher, but I do know that if you take one more step, someone will die. The only question is who? Your parents? Your sister? Her husband? I know they¡¯ve got a really cute son as well.¡±

    Butcher clenched his jaw tightly, gritting his teeth.

    ¡°Don¡¯t. You. Dare,¡± he bellowed.

    The God of Death merely chuckled in response, ¡°Oh, Butcher. You know I don¡¯t joke around. So if I were you, I would turn back and make sure that I get the Horseman.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s toote,¡± Butcher shook his head, ¡°He¡¯s too close. We won¡¯t make it.¡±

    The sonic waves were mounting in strength. He cast his eyes on the opening of the tunnel.

    ¡°He¡¯s here,¡± he said gravely.

    The first thing Zhao Yao saw when he exited the passageway was the dozen apostles that had gathered around the clearing. He also spotted a solemn-looking Butcher.

    ¡°Ah, Butcher? He looks like he knows I¡¯m here,¡± he sighed.

    It seemed that there was no need to conceal himself. He proceeded to swallow Roly Poly, whom needed no illusions or tricks to crawl into his mouth to return to the extradimensional belly.

    Without the cat, Zhao Yao instantly materialized into a living, breathing, very normal-looking man.

    Indigo sniggered. There was nothing extraordinary about this person. He did not hesitate to take a few steps towards Zhao Yao.

    ¡°You? You¡¯re the apostle who broke into our facility? I heard you¡¯re the Headless Horseman, Cat King of Jiangmen City?¡± Indigo asked.

    Zhao Yao did not bother responding. Instead, he quickly opened his mission panel to verify if he had failed the task now that his identity has beenpromised.

    ¡°Phew, it¡¯s still there.¡±

    Indigo narrowed his eyes at Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Hey, Headless Horseman,¡± he demanded, ¡°Did you listen to what I was saying?¡±

    The yellow-haired apostle next to him sneered, ¡°I think he¡¯s gone into shock. He must be a little surprised that there¡¯s so many of us in his weingmittee.¡±

    The red-headed apostle guffawed at hispanion¡¯s words. He chimed in, ¡°Butcher, you¡¯re afraid of this guy? Seriously? He doesn¡¯t look too bright, does he? He might be a Cat King, but we all know that¡¯s abel that the authorities stick on their puppets. He¡¯s probably never even seen a real battle before.¡±

    Butcher closed his eyes. He did not intend to speak or respond in any way. The men of Ivory had been in power in the south for far too long. They had be toocent to fear the unknown.

    ¡°That¡¯s enough talk,¡± God of Death¡¯s annoyed voice could be heard, ¡°Grab him.¡±

    Indigo was the first to act. As he strode towards Zhao Yao, a silvery glow emerged from his body.

    ¡°I¡¯ve heard that you, Headless Horseman, have climbed right to the top in Jiangmen City. Believe me when I say that we are nothing like your previous opponents. You won¡¯t be trampling on us. We are the real deal. We are...the strongest.¡±

    There was a certain madness ying on Indigo¡¯s face. However, he was very much alert and attuned to each and every one of Zhao Yao¡¯s actions. Of Team sh, he was the one responsible for winding him up for a reason.

    ¡°Double Rebound. That¡¯s the superpower that I borrowed. Any attack directed at me but will ricochet to its source with double the strength. This is why I must be the first to approach him, while the others cover me. However, if this guy is the careful sort, he might not strike first...¡±

    Indigo was used to leading the trio into battle because of the nature of his abilities. He had hurled himself against a tank¡¯s cannonball once. The impact blew the tank into smithereens. Even Butcher was unable to muster the right amount of strength to trap and destroy him.

    As of now, he had never met anyone who could trump the Double Rebound.

    He watched as the Horseman finally lifted his head and faced him.

    ¡°Things would be a lot easier since I don¡¯t have to conceal my identity,¡± Zhao Yao thought.

    He then addressed the crowd, ¡°Could those who wish to remain unharmed please raise your hands as a show of surrender?¡±

    Butcher did not need to be told twice. His hand shot into the air instantly. He made Tank Top and ck Robe raise theirs as well. ck Panther, his supercat, and Xiao Ming all raised their respective hands and paws too.

    Indigo glowered at Zhao Yao, saying, ¡°My dear boy, the only one here who will be harmed is you!¡±

    With that, he rushed forward, aiming a punch at Zhao Yao¡¯s cheek.

    ¡°Come on! Fight me! Fight back!¡± he thought urgently.

    At that moment, Zhao Yao opened his mouth, revealing two wisps of light.

    He gave his order telepathically, ¡°Sphynx Cat, please deal with everyone who has not raised a hand.¡±

    Swoosh!

    A ck figure darted out of his mouth so swiftly that no one spotted it, not even Butcher.

    No words could sufficiently describe just how fast and agile Sphynx Cat was. He could aplish so much in what felt like no time at all. When he reached Indigo, then gently scratched him on the chest with his ws. The cat narrowed his eyes. As the purple-haired teen was knocked off his feet, he felt an ache in his paw. He then zoomed back into Zhao Yao¡¯s mouth and returned to the extradimensional belly.

    His interaction with Indigo sparked a sonorous boom. As the teen started flying backward, his face scrunched together in confusion.

    ¡°What was that? Who hit me?¡± he wondered.

    At the same time, Sphynx Cat was quite puzzled as well, ¡°It seems that some of my power had been deflected?¡±

    He had to try again. In a millisecond, he had whizzed to Indigo so he could tap him on the chest.

    Sphynx Cat wagged his right paw in pain as he rocketed back into Zhao Yao¡¯s mouth. It hurt even more the second time around.

    The ache he experienced was nothingpared to the excruciating pain that Indigo was dealt with. He let out a blood-curdling scream as he crashed into the ground. It sounded likeshes were being welted on his body. He spat out a mouthful of blood before passing out.

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyebrows in displeasure.

    ¡°Sphynx Cat, didn¡¯t I ask you to deal with everyone who hasn¡¯t surrendered?¡± he questioned.

    Ares¡¯ answer echoed through the extradimensional belly, ¡°Zhao Yao, you can¡¯t mix friendship with business all the time. We don¡¯t mind helping you out, but you can¡¯t expect Sphynx Cat to do it for free all the time.¡±

    Zhao Yao chuckled in response. Privately, he issued the greedy cat a threat, ¡°Ares, if I were to lock you and Sphynx Cat in a bedroom for a month, a bedroom that is well-equipped with soap and condoms that is, what do you think will happen?¡±

    He need not say more.

    ¡°Sphynx Cat, listen to the man. Now is now the time to talk about money! There¡¯s an important enemy we must deal with first!¡± Ares shouted.

    Sphynx Cat shot Ares a sultry smile, ¡°Of course, my dear, leave it to me.¡±

    Swoosh!

    The apostles had barely registered what had happened to Indigo when the same, undiscernable ck figure streaked through them again. This time, the red-haired and yellow-haired teenagers were its first target. They were sent flying through the air and could spare only a frightened nce at Zhao Yao before cking out.

    ¡°What was that?¡±

    ¡°This is insane. We can¡¯t beat it.¡±

    ¡°The Headless Horseman... He¡¯s terrifying. Run!¡±

    Chaos broke in the crowd as every apostle tried to escape the wrath of the Horseman. However, they started falling one by one like dominos as the ck figure weaved through them.

    In the blink of an eye, only Zhao Yao, along with the Butcher and his friends, remained standing.

    God of Death¡¯s voice could be heard from a phone that had fallen to the ground.

    ¡°Hello? What¡¯s going on? Is anyone there? Hello?¡±

 Chapter 522: Terms

    <h4>Chapter 522: Terms</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Zhao Yao walked over to the phone and picked it up.

    ¡°Hello? Who am I speaking to?¡± he asked curiously.

    There was a pregnant pause before the person on the other side of the line began to speak.

    ¡°I am the God of Death. You must be the Headless Horseman?¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Zhao Yao raised his eyebrows in surprise, ¡°You¡¯re the God of Death?¡±

    ¡°It seems that you have decimated my men.¡±

    Silence fell again.

    When the God of Death spoke again, he sounded even more somber than before.

    ¡°I doubt that are unfamiliar with the amount of power and influence that Ivory holds as an organization. We have friends everywhere. We¡¯re in finance, politics, education, entertainment, construction, transport... We are so deeply embedded in this country¡¯s infrastructure that we can no longer be separated.¡±

    A deep crease settled between Zhao Yao¡¯s eyebrows. He asked, ¡°Your point is?¡±

    ¡°Join us,¡± God of Death answered briskly, ¡°I can bestow upon you a rank in the organization that is second only to mine.¡±

    Zhao Yao could hear muffled voices rising in the background. It sounded like this offer was met with much opposition among Ivory¡¯s men. Soon, however, themotion died and silence was restored again. It was obvious that the God of Death had hushed them, demonstrating just how much authority he held in the group.

    ¡°What say you?¡± God of Death continued in a tantalizing tone of voice, ¡°Join us and you¡¯ll be inplete control. You can mobilize billions of dors as you deem fit and change the fates of thousands of men as you please. The history of the entire country, no, the entire world, will be your making...¡±

    His words were met with shock and apprehension among his men. Even Butcher, ck Panther, and their respectivepanions took a collective intake of breath. They fixed their gazes on Zhao Yao, waiting to see how he would respond to this proposition.

    To Butcher, the God of Death was the most powerful human because he could unite thousands to work together for one purpose. The Headless Horseman, on the other, was the most powerful superhuman because he was gifted with unimaginable abilities.

    Ivory was already invincible with the God of Death by its side. If the Horseman was added into the mix, Butcher had no doubt that they could take over the world.

    Of course, he had no idea that such a day would nevere. The God of Death had no desire to work hand-in-hand with his newfound enemy. He was extending an olive branch to draw the Horseman in and destroy him.

    Every person in the room waited with bated breath for Zhao Yao to speak.

    Xiao Ming kept his eyes firmly locked onto the Horseman¡¯s back. He thought, ¡°This phone call could start something that would change the world as we know it. We¡¯re watching history being made...¡±

    ¡°Well,¡± Zhao Yao scratched his chin when he finally spoke, ¡°Joining you is not out of the question.¡±

    The Butcher, along with the men standing alongside him, began to pale.

    The God of Death, on the other hand, heaved a sigh of relief, ¡°We can discuss this once we...¡±

    ¡°On one condition,¡± Zhao Yao interrupted, ¡°I get to be Ivory¡¯s leader. Promise me this and I¡¯m in.¡±

    Silence followed. It was only broken when the God of Death began to hoot withughter.

    ¡°Haha...¡±

    ¡°Hahahaha...¡±

    It was as if Zhao Yao had told the funniest joke in the world. The God of Death wasughing so hard that he could not catch his breath. When he finally calmed down, he said, ¡°I get it now. You have no intention to join us. That¡¯s alright. What I can promise you is that as long as you around, Ivory will not step foot in Jiangmen City.¡±

    With that, he hung up. When he whipped his head to face his men, he said coldly, ¡°Gather Ivory¡¯s strongest apostles immediately. The Headless Horseman...is mine.¡±

    On the other end of the line, Butcher¡¯s shoulders visibly sagged with relief when the conversation came to a close.

    Zhao Yao looked at them pointedly. ¡°You three,¡± he started, ¡°Now¡¯s not the time to rx, is it? Your families are still under his control.¡±

    Butcher¡¯s heart lurched painfully against his chest.

    ¡°Crap,¡± he thought, ¡°I¡¯ve forgotten about that due to themotion.¡±

    The three men exchanged nervous nces. Zhao Yao shrugged his shoulders carelessly and said, ¡°You guys can leave if you want to. I¡¯m not going to stop you. However, before you go, do you mind telling me what ns Ivory has for the prison?¡±

    The men did not hesitate to divulge everything that they knew. Unfortunately, they did not bring any new information to the table. The crease between Zhao Yao¡¯s eyebrows began to deepen.

    ¡°Do you know how they managed to get the Cat King of the West to do their bidding?¡± he asked, ¡°He¡¯s just a supercat after all. I doubt he has family that they can threaten him with.¡±

    Butcher shook his head, ¡°We¡¯re not sure too. All we know is that he is not controlled by the God of Death, but an American named Michael. He¡¯s in this prison too. We don¡¯t know what his role is, but it¡¯s somehow linked to the meteorite.¡±

    ¡°American? Meteorite?¡± Zhao Yao wondered, ¡°All of this points to Star Cats. This Michael fellow must be the key to unlocking all the remaining secrets in this prison.¡±

    He turned back to Butcher. ¡°Okay, you can go now. I would suggest that you check in on Champion before you leave though. He¡¯s very concerned about you guys.¡±

    Butcher¡¯s eyes were shining with admiration and gratitude. He said, ¡°Thank you. Seriously, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Do not hesitate to call us if you need our help in the future.¡±

    As Zhao Yao watched the trio¡¯s retreating figures, the mission panel was refreshed. He had sessfullypleted the task of saving the Muscle Society. In return, he was rewarded with 1,000 * 2 experience points. The Book now stood at Level 6 (27,122 / 20,000).

    Once the Butcher and his men were gone, Zhao Yao focused his attention on ck Panther and Xiao Ming instead. His eyes narrowed when theynded on the supercat that was curled around the former¡¯s shoulders.

    ¡°If I stole this cat and chucked it on Cat Ind, ck Panther would never be able to stab me in the kidneys ever again with that dumbass superpower of his,¡± he thought wistfully.

    As much as he wanted to put this to action, he could not bear to do so. The cat was clinging onto ck Panther like his life depended on it. So, he simply sighed and said, ¡°How did you guys end up here? You know what, I don¡¯t even wanna know. Just go. Get out of here before you get into trouble again.¡±

    Xiao Ming spun on his heel immediately. He was more than happy to leave. However, ck Panther held him back. He had some things to say to Zhao Yao first.

    ¡°Sir No Head, I never knew that this is what you really look like.¡±

    At the moment, Zhao Yao had used the illusory choker to feign the most ordinary and forgettable appearance he could muster. He scowled at ck Panther.

    ¡°Call me by the wrong name one more time and I¡¯ll neuter you,¡± he threatened menacingly.

    ck Panther nodded rapidly in response, saying, ¡°Yes, sir. Please ept me as your disciple and let me work for you!¡±

    A look of rm shed past Xiao Ming¡¯s face. He gripped onto a corner of ck Panther¡¯s shirt and tried dragging him away.

    ¡°What a fool!¡± he thought, ¡°He¡¯d be in mortal peril every day if he stayed by the Headless Horseman! The enemies this man makes are dangerous. Very, very dangerous!¡±

    After all, he had just witnessed the confrontation between the Horseman and Ivory. He had no interest in joining any fight of that kind. All he wanted to do was to make money so that he can pay off his debts.

    Zhao Yao had no intention of keeping them by his side either. He rolled his eyes and said, ¡°Get out of my sight.¡±

    With that, he summoned a force field to knock them off their feet andunch them into the passageway. He then shrunk the force field to encase him perfectly like a second skin.

    ¡°Well, since I¡¯ve been exposed, there¡¯s no need to be surreptitious anymore.¡±

    He pressed the force field against the ground to lift himself a meter into the air. When he darted forward, it looked like he was flying.

    A blue-eyed blond entered a separate clearing in the underground space.

    It was Michael.

    He cradled a chubby ginger cat in his arms. The cat was curled upfortably. His eyes were covered by bank notes. His lips were shaped into a blissful smile. Even from afar, anyone could tell that the cat was Matcha.

    Michael and Matcha were not alone. William walked next to them as they headed into another tunnel.

    He turned to Michael and asked, ¡°What about my debt?¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about that, Captain Johnson. $1.5 million is spare change to me,¡± Michael said, shing him a charming smile while he stroke Matcha¡¯s back, ¡°As long as youplete your next mission, that money is yours. No, in fact, let¡¯s make it $2 million.¡±

    William, who looked quite a sorry state in his prisoner¡¯s uniform, looked up from his hands to the man next to him.

    ¡°Why exactly is Star Cats here?¡± he wondered aloud.

    The corner of Michael¡¯s lips curled.

    ¡°Well,¡± he started, ¡°Our original target had been the God of Death. Unfortunately, that man¡¯s sense of caution borders absolute paranoia. Even if we nted the meteorite at his feet, he would never let his supercat touch it. He would rather be safe than let his cat level up.¡±

    William let out a breath he did not know he was holding. ¡°The God of Death¡¯s power can be leveled up? How? By increasing the number of people he can control?¡±

    ¡°Why not?¡± Michael said promptly, ¡°Supercats were evolved from normal cats. It would not be unreasonable to expect that the meteorite will help them evolve their powers. I¡¯m sure you¡¯ve known about this for a while.¡±

    ¡°However, some of the higher-ups believe that the God of Death¡¯s evolution would not be so simple. It would not allow him to just control even more people,¡± Michael continued, ¡°Instead, they believe that he would be able to control apostles in his next form. The likelihood of this happening is small, but it is not impossible. This is why he is at the top of our list right now. If we can capture him, control him, and then help him level up, he woulde in very handy in our future ns.¡±

    William nodded half-heartedly. He did not want to imagine the kind of atrocities that Star Cats wouldmit if they ever had the God of Death in their control.

    He let out another deep breath before saying, ¡°That doesn¡¯t exin why you¡¯vee to the Cat King of the West¡¯s prison.¡±

    ¡°As I said before, the God of Death is a very careful man. However, he is not without ambition. He wants the meteorite. He wants to evolve his cat. All the nonsense about controlling the Cat King of the West, kidnapping supercats, and selling apostles is nothing more than a pretense. His true intention is to lure us here, right where he wants us. Then, he will strike.¡±

    William mulled over this for a moment. As an investigative officer, it did not take long for him to read between the lines.

    ¡°The fact that you¡¯re here means that you¡¯re interested in Cat King, aren¡¯t you?¡± he inferred.

    When Michael spoke, he could not hide the excitement in his voice, ¡°The Cat King of the West is far more formidable than I imagined. I doubt even he himself knows just how powerful he is. It¡¯s a terrible waste to confine his abilities here in this sorry prison. He can transform the personality of any person, cat, apostle, or supercat. Compared tobative superpowers, this is much, much more interesting andplex.¡±

    He talked with a sort of deranged fervor that drove William to widen the distance between them. His gaze fell on Matcha.

    ¡°And who¡¯s that?¡± he asked.

    Michael waved him off casually, ¡°Don¡¯t mind him. I just like carrying him around.¡±

    ¡°Yeah, right,¡± William thought to himself.

    He did not continue to pursue the matter. At the moment, all he cared about was quicklypleting the mission Michael had in store for him so he could get the $2 million and return to the United States.

    Soon, the two men approached the end of the tunnel, where a white cat was seated motionlessly. The most peculiar thing about this cat was not that it was sitting cross-legged as a human would, but that the hair on his head was clean shaven, revealing small, circr burn marks that were only seen on ordained monks.

    William gaped. ¡°What is he doing?¡±

    ¡°As you can see, the Cat King of the West is a monk,¡± Michael replied with a full-bodied shrug, ¡°There¡¯s no rule that forbids cat from bing monks.¡±

    ¡°Okay...¡± William said, thoroughly unconvinced, ¡°But aren¡¯t monks supposed to be vegetarians? I doubt a cat can survive on a meatless diet.¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s a monk that consumes meat,¡± Michael responded simply.

    He was not particrly interested in entertaining William¡¯s questions. He pointed at the empty space in front of the Cat King and said to him, ¡°Sit here.¡±

    William moved forward hesitantly. Now that he was closer to the Cat King, he could see that his eyes were shut. In fact, the cat was stock-still.

    He could not help but ask, ¡°What is he doing?¡±

    Michael chuckled. ¡°He¡¯s dreaming.¡±

    He looked down at the Cat King of the West, a smirk ying on his lips.

    He thought, ¡°If the Cat King¡¯s powers can work on the God of Death, locating his real body would no longer be an impossible task. However, now is still not the time. Much nning and testing must be done before I canunch this. Since Ivory is upied right now, I can do a test run on William.¡±

    The recent wave of personality changes that hit the prisoners, guards, and supercats was orchestrated by the Cat King of the West. Michael ensured that the tests were discreet so that he would not arouse the God of Death¡¯s suspicions.

    Now, a golden opportunity had presented itself. Ivory¡¯s presence in the prison had all but dissipated because the God of Death needed their help with something else. Michael had no clue what this was about, but it did not matter. All that mattered was that he was gifted a perfect chance.

    As this thought shed through his mind, Zhao Yao had arrived at the end of the tunnel with Roly Poly, whom kept him invisible.

    The fat cat scrambled for his phone when he spotted Matcha in Michael¡¯s arms.

    ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! Look!¡± he yodeled telepathically, ¡°Matcha has mutinied!¡±

    A heavy crease wrinkled the skin between Zhao Yao¡¯s eyebrows. It only worsened when he saw the bank notes that had covered Matcha¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Matcha!¡± he yelled through their shared consciousness, ¡°What the heck are you doing?¡±

    However, no matter how loudly or what he shouted, Matcha did not respond.

    ¡°As he fallen asleep?¡± Zhao Yao wondered, the furrow in his brow growing deeper still as he hurried towards his cat, ¡°William¡¯s here? And who¡¯s this guy?¡±

    He briefly considered what to do before deciding on robbing them of their five senses. In an instant, Michael, William, Matcha, and even the Cat King of the West copsed onto the ground, unconscious.

    Zhao Yao immediately reached for Matcha. He retracted the ginger cat¡¯s eyelids to reveal pupils that were darting about swiftly and constantly.

    ¡°He¡¯s...dreaming?¡±

    It was only natural that his next course of action was to call for Diana.

    ¡°Help me find out if the cats are dreaming,¡± he instructed.

    Diana¡¯s eyelids fluttered shut as she began her descent into the dream world. It did not take long for her eyes to snap wide open.

    She said, ¡°Those guys are dream sharing. It felt...¡±

    ¡°Like Nightmare Cat¡¯s work?¡± Zhao Yao cut in.

    There was an icy hostility in his eyes when he turned his attention back to the men and cats sleeping on the ground.

    ¡°It seems like Nightmare Cat is responsible for the Cat King of the West¡¯s transformation. He could¡¯ve been dreaming for ages by now,¡± he stated.

    With that, he nted his butt on the floor as well. ¡°Diana, take me there.¡±

    The ragdoll cat shook her head vehemently. There was a frightened expression on her face when she spoke, ¡°No. It won¡¯t work. This is not like thest time. Then, Nightmare Cat could not control the dream world because the thousands of cats and people that inhabited it kept changing and transforming it. Now, only a few inhabitants are there. Nightmare Cat would be able to y God. I barely escaped. It¡¯s too dangerous to dive in.¡±

    Sidequest: Wake the Cat King of the West

    Objective: Foil the enemy¡¯s n by waking the Cat King and putting an end to the corruption in the prison

    Reward: 2,000 experience points

    Punishment: None

    ¡°Wow, 2000 experience points. Just this alone would make up for all the time I¡¯ve spent here.¡±

    Naturally, it did not take long for Zhao Yao to reach a conclusion.

    ¡°You have nothing to worry about, Diana,¡± he stated firmly, ¡°Send me there.¡±

    Then, he tilted his head from side to side before opening his mouth. Ares and Sphynx Cat leaped out of it.

    ¡°I¡¯m assigning the two of you as my guardians. Do not allow anyone to disturb me. Ares, make sure that you use your deflective field to protect yourself and Sphynx Cat at all times. Do not give the enemy a chance to attack or control you.¡±

    Ares did as he was told without question. He could tell how serious Zhao Yao was from the fiercely determined look on his face.

    As the force field unfurled around Sphynx Cat, he could not help but gaze adoringly at Ares. In his heart, the infatuated cat thought, ¡°Is this... Is this considered our first time sharing a nket?¡±

    His loving stare sent chills down Ares¡¯ spine, but not the kind that he might have hoped for. Ares could feel his skin grow cold and mmy. His a**hole had tightened to an imprable circumference.

    ¡°I can¡¯t do this anymore,¡± he panicked internally, ¡°This weird rtionship cannot go on.¡±

    As this thought crossed his head, another one manifested. It was an image of Sphynx Cat easily squishing tonnes of metal into little patties of any shape he desired. Fear and hesitation settled uneasily in the pit of Ares¡¯ stomach.

    ¡°But the way he looks at me is getting creepier and creepier,¡± he argued with himself, ¡°And he¡¯s always following behind me into the bathroom. This does not bode well for me at all.¡±

    After a moment of deliberation, Ares finally drew a conclusion he was happy with.

    ¡°I¡¯ll need to approach Zhao Yao for help in a couple days. I can¡¯t take this anymore! I¡¯ll give my soul to the Devil if I must.¡±

    While Ares had been contemting about what to do next, Zhao Yao was getting ready for his descent into the dream world. He had already switched his skill to Matcha¡¯s TimeFreeze. Next, he had a special task for Sphynx Cat.

    ¡°If I do not leave dream world after an hour has passed, kill me. I¡¯ll be revived in a jiffy.¡±

    Sphynx Cat¡¯s lips curled into a smug grin. He waved his sharp ws at Zhao Yao.

    ¡°With pleasure,¡± he said, ¡°Killing you is one of the items on my bucket list.¡±

    Zhao Yao surveyed the tunnel they were in. This was not quite the safest ce for his physical body as he embarked on his journey. Hence, he spat Elizabeth and her family out from the extradimensional belly and into the prison.

    ¡°...so that¡¯s the current situation,¡± he exined, ¡°I¡¯m trusting you guys to support Ares and Sphynx Cat in protecting me.¡±

    With so many safeguards in ce, he was now confident enough to make the descent.

    Zhao Yao nodded at Diana, then let his eyelids fall shut.

    *

    When Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes snapped open, he found himself in his bedroom.

    He was lounging on an exquisitelyfortable recliner. Within arm¡¯s reach was a curated selection of snacks and drinks, an impressivelyrgeputer screen, and a box of tissues.

    Thest time he entered the dream world, it did not take long for the illusion to break. With thebined perception of five supercats, he quickly realized that what he was seeing and experiencing was not real.

    This time, however, things were different. It was exactly like what Diana had said. This dream was shared among only a few individuals. As such, the level of control that Nightmare Cat had here was god-like. He could definitely do more than spawn new NPCs now.

    This was why Zhao Yao did not at all suspect that something was wrong. He simply sunk deeper into the recliner and reached for a stack of potato chips. He browsed the web as he popped them one by one into his mouth.

    He harbored no intention of getting up.

    ¡°God, this chair isfortable,¡± he thought in amazement.

    He was in his happy ce.

    All the things that he needed were disyed neatly on shelves that were easily reached. There was nothing he could not grab without getting off his butt.

    He was practically radiating joy.

    Nightmare Cat sniggered as he watched Zhao Yao¡¯s every move. At the moment, he had taken the form of a purple cat. Michael was standing next to him. Next to them was Zhao Yao, who did not notice their presence because they were invisible.

    ¡°Hehe,¡± Nightmare Cat chuckled darkly, ¡°I have delved deep into his subconscious to create this dreamscape. He would never be able to tell that none of this is real. We¡¯re gonna mess him up real good.¡±

    There was a slight furrow between Michael¡¯s eyebrows. He asked, ¡°The things we do here ¨C will they affect what¡¯s happening with the Cat King of the West?¡±

    Nightmare Cat was quick to respond, ¡°Nope. They¡¯re not in the same ce.¡±

    With that, he decided to start having a bit of fun. The cat flexed his paws. In an instant, the building started to catch fire with rming briskness.

    He startedughing haughtily once more, obviously pleased with his handiwork. He could already imagine how pathetic Zhao Yao would look as he scrambled for his life. He would make things worse and worse and eventually reduce him to a shaking mess.

    ¡°Let¡¯s see how quickly you can run, boy!¡±

    Contrary to his belief, Zhao Yao did not partake in any scrambling. Even as the mes engulfed the apartmentplex, he remained seated in the recliner. In fact, he was still munching his potato chips.

    His hands were the only things he moved. They struck against in each other in a firm p.

    In a sh, the raging fire had been instantly extinguished by the golden deflective field.

    ¡°How...how is this possible?¡± Nightmare Cat seethed, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s try something else then!¡±

    He imagined that the building copsed and that was exactly what happened. The ceilings ripped open and the concrete floors gave way. Zhao Yao plummeted to the ground in a flurry of cement and metal.

    When it looked like all hope was lost, the golden glow appeared again. This time, it covered him from head to toe. He shot through the rubble like a shooting star andnded gracefully on the ground.

    ¡°Darn it!¡± Nightmare Cat swore, ¡°He¡¯s be even more powerful than before. The usual tactics won¡¯t be enough to deal with him.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t get too carried away,¡± Michael warned, ¡°If he dies, he¡¯ll leave the dream. I¡¯ll be in deep s**t when he goes back to reality.¡±

    Michael was now aware that both his and Zhao Yao¡¯s physical bodies were at the end of the tunnel.

    Nightmare Cat brushed him off with a simple, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. He won¡¯t die that easily.¡±

    What followed was a series of terribly unfortunate events for Zhao Yao. It felt like the entire world had it in for him. idents gued him wherever he went, from fires, cyclones, floods, and earthquakes, to truck collisions and ne crashes. He used his superpowers to protect himself from each catastrophe.

    His acts of self-preservation were a purely unconscious decision. It sure felt odd that this string of cmities was happening to him, but it did not trigger his conscious mind to question if this was all just a dream.

    Michael had fallen into a quiet state of shock as he watched the events unfold.

    ¡°This kind of apostle actually exists?¡± he asked, ¡°Nightmare Cat, is he this powerful in reality?¡±

    ¡°Duh,¡± the purple cat retorted, ¡°He still has no clue that this is a dream, so he¡¯s behaving as he could in reality. Also, unlike me, he cannot manipte the dreamscape. Even if he finally sees what¡¯s happening, he won¡¯t be able to create crazy new powers for himself.¡±

    Nightmare¡¯s Cats lit up when he finished speaking. An epiphany had urred to him.

    ¡°Hmm, since this guy is impossible to beat inbat, I should change my strategy. I should cause him irreparable mental and emotional damage instead.¡±

    Michael stared at him wordlessly. He had no idea what the cat had up his sleeves this time. Even if he did, there was no stopping him. Nightmare Cat was a partner, not a subordinate.

    The cat had already put his n to action anyway. This manifested as an overwhelming urge in Zhao Yao to withdraw cash. He walked to the nearest ATM and pushed his card into the slot. The screen disy revealed that his ount bnce was $0.00.

    Nightmare Cat could not contain his giggles again, ¡°How do you feel now? Aren¡¯t you devastated -,¡±

    He stopped mid-sentence as Zhao Yao removed his card calmly, then opened his mouth and swallowed the entire ATM in one gulp.

    ¡°I¡¯m pretty sure I had several billion dors in my ount. Guess I¡¯ll have to visit a few more ATMs to get back what is mine.¡±

    Nightmare Cat gawked as Zhao Yao strolled down the street and sucked in every machine that he could find. This proved to be too time-consuming, so he eventually headed to the currency printing facility. There, he could finally guzzle the billions of dors that were taken from him.

    ¡°Darn it,¡± Nightmare Cat swore, ¡°The unconscious mind controls a person¡¯s actions in dreams. This hooligan must have been dying to rob a bank for ages to react like this.¡±

    This n might have failed, but it did not take long for a new one to spring from his mind. His eyes lit up as he muttered, ¡°Ah, yes. Let¡¯s see how you respond to this...¡±

    Zhao Yao was suddenly ovee with the desire to go home. He did not find it strange that the apartmentplex, which previously had been reduced to rubble, was standing again. When he opened the door to his bedroom, he spotted a strappingd on top of a beautiful woman.

    ¡°Ah, Zhao Yao? I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯m in love with him, not you.¡±

    Zhao Yao had never seen these two NPCs before, but a voice in his head told him that the woman was his girlfriend.

    ¡°Hehehe!¡± Nightmare Cat crowed with delight, ¡°You¡¯ve been made a cuckold! This is the secret shame that burns the strongest of men to rubble. Let¡¯s see how you¡¯ll survive this heartbreak.¡±

    His gleeful gloating came to an abrupt halt when Zhao Yao mmed the door shut, shook his head, and sighed, ¡°Hmm, there¡¯s no way in hell that I¡¯ll get a girlfriend. I must be dreaming.¡±

    When he opened the door again, the man and woman whom were locked in an embrace had vanished.

    Nightmare Cat was livid by now.

    ¡°S**t!¡± he yelled, shaking his head violently in disbelief, ¡°This guy! Even in his subconscious, his sense of cognition is functional enough to alter the dreamscape! How can he be so sure that he can¡¯t have a girlfriend? What¡¯s he trying to do? Be a 40-year-old virgin?!¡±

    ¡°Darn it!¡± the cat said through gritted teeth, ¡°Let¡¯s try something else then.¡±

    In an instant, every human in Zhao Yao¡¯s dreamscape had disappeared, leaving him all alone.

    Nightmare Cat was chuckling again, ¡°Loneliness is a fear shared by every living being that walks this earth! How long can you take it, I wonder? Enjoy your spiral into madness!¡±

    He watched with bated breath as Zhao Yao left his apartment to look for people and food. The searchsted a disappointing five minutes before he returned home to start a single-yer game.

    ¡°What the heck?!¡± Nightmare Cat eximed, roving around Zhao Yao, ¡°Seriously, you stop looking after five minutes? Just five minutes? Aren¡¯t you worried about your friends, family, or parents? You didn¡¯t even haul yourzy butt out of the neighborhood! Are you a living, breathing person or not?¡±

    Michael was perplexed as well. The furrow in his brow was in full force.

    ¡°Maybe he just hasn¡¯t felt the impact of the disappearances yet. You should fast forward the time. He¡¯ll feel it soon,¡± he suggested.

    Nightmare Cat nodded in agreement. ¡°That must be it. He just hasn¡¯t realized that he¡¯s literally the only man left in this world.¡±

    With that, he sped up the time in Zhao Yao¡¯s dreamscape. The rate at which time passed had always differed greatly between dreams and reality. As a dream maker, Nightmare Cat could easily widen that chasm as he pleased.

    However, he could not exempt either himself or Michael from the timepse. They were also in Zhao Yao¡¯s dreamscape after all. When the fast forward ended, all the events and changes that had taken ce during the jump will hit them at once.

    Nightmare Cat started slow. When he jumped forward by a week, Zhao Yao was still glued to the game.

    He sped things up again, this time by a month. 30 days¡¯ worth of events were crammed into Nightmare Cat¡¯s head all at once. Unfortunately, every day was the same. Zhao Yao never stopped ying.

    He swore loudly, then pulled another fast forward. One yearter, Zhao Yao was still doing the exact same thing.

    The cat gawked at him, partly baffled but mostly infuriated.

    ¡°What the hell is wrong with this guy?! He¡¯s been doing nothing but y games for a year! Areputer games that fun?¡±

    Michael, who had been watching Zhao Yao like a hawk, suddenly cried, ¡°He¡¯s getting up!¡±

    The pair kept a weather eye on him as he shuffled forward. He lifted hisptop from the recliner and moved it to his bed, then resumed ying.

    Nightmare Cat felt like he was dangerously close to exploding from anger!

    ¡°I don¡¯t believe! I¡¯m going to fast forward again. He has to stop at some point!¡±

    ¡°No, there¡¯s no need to do that. I¡¯ve found his weakness,¡± Michael said quickly, ¡°Disable the Inte. Disable his inte connection right now!¡±

    Michael¡¯s words were a revtion.

    Nightmare Cat¡¯s eyes lit up when he said, ¡°Yes, theptop is his lifeline. Without it, he is nothing.¡±

    He willed the disruption of all electricity and inte ess in the dreamscape.

    Atst, something that he had done seemed to have flummoxed Zhao Yao, whom was staring at the nkptop screen dumbly. This pleased him tremendously. He could not help but let out an enormous bellyugh.

    ¡°Hehehe. I wonder what you are going to do now.¡±

    As if in response, Zhao Yao got changed and left the apartment.

    ¡°Hehe, are you heading out to find a working power source? It¡¯ll be futile, boy. I¡¯ve cut off all the electricity. All of it. Your search will suck all the happiness and hope out of you. Enjoy your nightmare...¡±

    Three hourster, Nightmare Cat was gawping at Zhao Yao with his mouth hanging wide open. It turned out that he had not left the house to look for a power source. He was looking for materials to make his own generator. It worked perfectly and he was nowfortably nestled in the covers, back at his game.

    Nightmare Cat slumped forward, his paws holding mping onto his throbbing head.

    ¡°How did he do that?¡± he wondered aloud.

    Michael could not help but roll his eyes.

    ¡°You know,¡± he started, ¡°You could just make hisptop disappear.¡±

    Nightmare Cat looked at him.

    ¡°Make hisptop disappear?¡± he repeated after him, venom dripping from his words, ¡°That¡¯s not enough. I want everything to disappear. I want him to suffer. I want him to be stuck in a limbo of nothingness!¡±

    He concluded his promation with a sinister chuckle.

    He was stillughing when he crushed the very core of the dreamscape that he had created. The world around them began to crumble. Then, darkness swallowed it whole.

    Michael watched the rapid decay in stunned silence.

    ¡°This...¡± he thought to himself, ¡°He¡¯s just going to wipe the world out of existence? It¡¯s such a simple solution, but perhaps that¡¯s why it¡¯s the best one.¡±

    His gaze fell on Zhao Yao, whom was curled up in the fetus position,pletely alone.¡±

    Michael let out a breath he did not know he was holding.

    ¡°He has no one forpany. Even light and sound have abandoned him. Anyone would be driven insane. This will break even the strongest man. It¡¯s really just a matter of when.¡±

    At that moment, Michael realized that he had underestimated Nightmare Cat¡¯s ability. Nothingness was a fate far crueler than any catastrophe that could happen in real life, but in the dream world, he could make it a reality.

    While Michael was pensive and Nightmare Cat was cheery, Zhao Yao was not exhibiting much emotion at all. There was no trace of panic or fear in him. Calmly, he simply opened his mouth. A vortex warp appeared briefly. Then, he was gone.

    ¡°What happened?¡± Michael gasped, ¡°Did he leave the dream?¡±

    Nightmare Cat blinked a few times in surprise. He shut his eyes in concentration, obviously trying to find something. When he opened them, he said, ¡°He hasn¡¯t left. He has the power to cross to another dimension. But don¡¯t worry, he may be somewhere else now, but he¡¯s still ultimately in the dream world.¡±

    With that, he raised a paw and scratched the air.

    It was as if they were in a y and Nightmare Cat had ripped the backdrop to reveal a brand new one. Both himself and Michael had left the darkness and entered the extradimensional belly. And right there, smack in the middle, was Zhao Yao, whose eyes were glued to theptop screen, fingers flying across the keyboard.

    He was ying aputer game. Again.

    Nightmare Cat might have been defeated again, but he was not discouraged.

    ¡°Hmpf,¡± he snorted dismissively, ¡°I¡¯ll reduce this ce to nothingness too.¡±

    He waved his paw in the air and everything in the confines of the belly vanished.

    ¡°That should do,¡± he said smugly.

    This second disappearing act seemed to have done the trick. Zhao Yao simply sat there, still as a statue, as if he was recovering from the shock of being thrusted into nothingness once more. There could be nothing more pleasing to the Nightmare Cat¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Well, it seems like I have finally seeded,¡± he dered with a bellow ofughter, ¡°Do you see the true horrors of my power now?¡±

    When Zhao Yao finally moved, it was to lie on the ground. There, he closed his eyes. It seemed like he had fallen asleep out of boredom.

    ¡°Really? You think that sleeping will help?¡± Nightmare Cat snorted, ¡°It won¡¯t. No matter how many times you sleep and wake, you can never leave this dream. It will only worsen the disorientation and hasten your descent into madness.¡±

    The cat tilted his head to the side. Yes, he wanted to hasten the process too so he could see what shape Zhao Yao would be in in the end.

    He skipped forward one day in time, then decided to just go for it and jumped past a month.

    Somehow, Zhao Yao was still lying on his side, fast asleep.

    Nightmare Cat and Michael stared at his unmoving form, dumbfounded.

    ¡°He... He¡¯s still sleeping?¡±

    A switch in Michael¡¯s mind flickered on.

    ¡°Hey, could he be dreaming within this dream?¡± he wondered aloud.

    Nightmare Cat¡¯s answer was immediate and firm, ¡°A dream within a dream? Impossible. Without my permission, nobody in here can dream.¡±

    The cat¡¯s gaze lingered on the sleeping man for a while longer before he decided to find out what was going on in his mind. This was a cake walk for him. The thoughts of a person who did not recognize that he was, in fact, dreaming can only blossom from the subconscious. essing the subconscious was Nightmare Cat¡¯s forte. It was how he could create and control the dreamscape in the first ce.

    The cat waved his paw over Zhao Yao¡¯s head, drawing wisps of smoke. They hovered above Zhao Yao and fused into a cloud. In its center, his thoughts were disyed for the two of them to see.

    When they peered in, they were greeted with the sight of countless beautiful women, cats, and ces that Zhao Yao hade across in his adventures around the globe. He was even umting riches and new superpowers in his legion of escapades.

    Nobody would have expected to see that Zhao Yao had single-handedly created a whole new world with just the power of his imagination.

    Michael was utterly bbergasted.

    ¡°This guy...¡± he thought to himself, ¡°He can live vicariously through his imagination for so long?¡±

    ¡°This isn¡¯t just about living vicariously,¡± Nightmare Cat interrupted, brows furrowed, ¡°It¡¯s his superpower. He can create illusions of some sort. Whatever he can think up, he can actually experience. He is like his own server. He hosts every virtual game imaginable and he can y whatever he wants, whenever he wants.¡±

    ¡°Even so,¡± he continued, ¡°A normal person shouldn¡¯t be able to live in a virtual world for so long.¡±

    ¡°So how is he is doing exactly that right now? How can such a person exist? How can a virtual world satisfy you? Don¡¯t you have higher aspirations and expectations?!¡± he roared.

    Nightmare Cat seemed to have hit his breaking point. He felt defeated. There was nothing he could do to break the man sleeping in front of him.

    Michael was at aplete loss as well.

    ¡°We¡¯ve failedpletely,¡± he thought, ¡°Even on his turf, Nightmare Cat is unable to beat him.¡±

    ¡°There is nothing remarkable about his appearance, but he hides immense physical and mental strength beneath that facade. In fact, it is his mental capacity that is truly terrifying. His irond determination borders madness.¡±

    ¡°This man is an undefeatable psycho.¡±

    Now, Michael felt quite unnerved as he looked into Zhao Yao¡¯s thoughts, where he was happily hopping from one adventure to the next.

    Suddenly, a loud explosion rang through the air and Zhao Yao vanished.

    ¡°What was that? What superpower is it this time?¡± Michael asked.

    ¡°That¡¯s not it,¡± Nightmare Cat said curiously, ¡°He left the dream. How did he do it?¡±

    ¡°Left the dream?¡± Michael echoed, ¡°Then you have to send me back out there. It¡¯ll be toote if we don¡¯t return right now. We can¡¯t hurt him here and neither he, us. It¡¯ll be different out there in the real world.¡±

    There was a glimmer of light in Nightmare Cat¡¯s eyes as he made sense of Michael¡¯s words.

    <h4>Chapter 526: Scary, Scary Supercat</h4>

    ¡°This supercat is named Matcha,¡± Michael exined, ¡°He can stop time. I wanted to take him back to America for research, but it looks like we¡¯ll have to use him right now. He¡¯s our only hope of leaving unscathed.¡±

    A trip into Matcha¡¯s dream had given him a fair bit of information about the ginger cat and his apostle, Zhao Yao. He knew that Zhao Yao was the Headless Horseman and that he owned arge number of supercats. More importantly, Michael now knew about TimeFreeze and that Matcha was the most powerful supercat in Zhao Yao¡¯s arsenal (at least ording to the cat in question).

    ¡°Remember,¡± Michael continued, ¡°The transition must be seamless. Matcha must not realize that he has left the dream. That¡¯s the only way that we can get him to fight Zhao Yao. They arepanions after all.¡±

    Nightmare Cat shed him a sly grin, ¡°Got it.¡±

    Matcha was clueless about what was toe. Currently, he was nestledfortably under the covers, surrounded by his harem of ragdoll cats. When he woke up from his nap, he leaped out of bed and strolled out onto the balcony, which overlooked the peaks of snow-cloaked mountains.

    He sighed as he took in the view, ¡°It¡¯s true when they say that it¡¯s lonely at the top.¡±

    His butler emerged next to him and said, ¡°Boss, a person, dressed poorly I might add, hase to see you?¡±

    Matcha carefully licked his leg before responding, ¡°Why are you telling me this? Ask him to leave. I don¡¯t meet just anyone.¡±

    ¡°Well, the man said that he was your previous owner, Zhao Yao.¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao?¡± Matcha asked.

    An involuntary shiver ran down his spine. He could feel fear rising up his throat, but he suppressed it at once.

    ¡°I do not have to be afraid of him anymore. I am the richest and most powerful cat in the world today,¡± he assured himself.

    To the butler, he said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go meet him then.¡±

    At this point, Michael, who was assuming the role of a servant, stepped forward to lift Matcha. He carried him into the Maglev elevator, which descended at the speed of 80 floors per second. In no time at all, they had reached the basement.

    As Michael walked towards Zhao Yao, Matcha started to be visibly excited.

    ¡°Ah, I wonder if Zhao Yao looks old and ugly and poor now?¡± he spected, ¡°He must look like one of those old men who pore through the rubbish bins on the streets.¡±

    The image made him burst intoughter.

    ¡°Hahahaha, who would have known that he would be reduced to a nobody!¡±

    Ten minutester, Michael entered a tunnel that looked exactly like the one that sat beneath the prison. When he opened the door, Matcha¡¯s vision went dark for a moment before he was blinded by a stream of light. He did not know this, but it was at that point that he had left his dream.

    The real Zhao Yao stood before him, surrounded by his supercat friends.

    *

    In the real world.

    It was dead quiet. The seconds stopped ticking. Time hade to a standstill.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s body materialized from nowhere andnded on the ground unharmed.

    He tried moving his head and it hurt.

    ¡°Hmm? Have I been revived? Has it been an hour already?¡± he asked, stretching his neck side-to-side.

    He tried to recall what had happened in the dream, but he drew a nk.

    ¡°I can¡¯t seem to remember what the dream was about, but I feel like it was something happy.¡±

    ¡°But if I had to be revived, it must mean that I could not leave the dream even after a whole hour,¡± he continued, scratching the bottom of his chin thoughtfully, ¡°Nightmare Cat must be pretty good at what he does. If I can¡¯t deal with him in the dreamscape, I¡¯d have to do it in real life.¡±

    Zhao Yao snapped his fingers and time started moving forward again.

    He turned to face Sphynx Cat and asked, ¡°How was it? Did anything happen while I was out?¡±

    Ares shook his head in response. ¡°Nothing so far. Dust Ball dropped by once to report that in general, the prison is still functioning quite normally. The real prison staff has not detected the abnormalities.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded. Then, the turned to the Cat King of the West, whom was still snoozing away.

    ¡°Well, I guess I¡¯ll have to resort to very physical means to wake him up,¡± he concluded.

    He was about to strike when Michael stood up all of a sudden. He had left the dream too.

    Zhao Yao raised his eyebrows at him. ¡°Oh, I¡¯m surprised that you dare to wake up.¡±

    Michael did not speak. He was waiting for Matcha to say something.

    He had pinned all his hopes on the ginger cat. He had the power to stop time, for Christ¡¯s sake. If he was willing to, he would be able to defeat Zhao Yao easily.

    Matcha¡¯s eyes fell on Zhao Yao first. Then, he took in at all the familiar faces that were also here. He could not help but begin chuckling.

    ¡°Well, well! It¡¯s a pleasant surprise that you¡¯ve all decided to turn up to. Hehehehe, are you here to borrow money from me? How much? You know what, it doesn¡¯t matter. No matter how much you want, I¡¯m not lending it to you!¡± he chortled.

    Ares, Sphynx Cat, and Elizabeth¡¯s family threw him odd looks.

    Roly Poly, on the other hand, had mped his paw against his mouth to keep himself fromughing.

    ¡°He¡¯s dead. He¡¯s so dead,¡± he thought.

    The expression of distaste worn by the cats was misinterpreted as envy and hatred to Matcha. He was very pleased with this reception. He turned to Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Little Zhao, you¡¯re not a little boy anymore. You can¡¯t expect others to take care of you. Yes, I¡¯ve made a pretty nice living for myself, but that money did note by easily.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at him nkly. ¡°You are just...¡±

    ¡°Do not interrupt me when I am speaking,¡± Matcha stated firmly, raising a paw to silence him, ¡°Now, where was I? Oh yes, as I was saying, you¡¯re not getting any younger, Xiao Zhao. You cannot continue to waste away like this. Everything I have achieved today I had to fight for with these very ws. Do you seriously believe that wealth will juste knocking? That is never going to happen.¡±

    A dark aura was beginning to waft out of Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Do you have a death wish, you idiot?¡± he asked, ring at Matcha.

    ¡°Look at you!¡± Matcha eximed condescendingly, ¡°Are you trying to scare me? Do you think I will be afraid of you? Listen to me, old man. Your scare tactics might have worked in the past, but they will not help you now.¡±

    With that, he darted out of Michael¡¯s arms and sashayed towards Elizabeth. He nodded briefly as he seemed to survey her appearance.

    ¡°Oh, Elizabeth, you are as parfaite as always. To date, I¡¯ve been with at least ten thousand cats just like you.¡±

    He shrugged nonchntly before he continued, ¡°To be honest, a ragdoll cat like you is not all int¨¦ressant to me.¡±

    ¡°Why are you peppering bits of French into your sentences?¡± Elizabeth asked,pletely unimpressed.

    ¡°Ah? Have I been doing that?¡± Matcha responded, feigning an air of carelessness, ¡± Je ne sais pas . It¡¯s probably because I just returned from Paris, where I got used to speaking fran?ais . You know how it is.¡±

    Elizabeth rolled her eyes at him.

    ¡°Idiot,¡± she muttered.

    Once he was done with Elizabeth, Matcha moved towards Roly Poly. Roly Poly was shaking fromughter, but he assumed that he was actually trembling with fear.

    ¡°Stupid gar?on , are you still working at that lousy cat cafe?¡± Matcha asked, ¡°I can fit both Zhao Yao¡¯s maison and cafe in my toilet. I seriously don¡¯t know why you bother fighting so hard for it.¡±

    When Matcha left, he was wearing the smuggest expression imaginable. Roly Poly fell straight to the ground, where he covered his mouth with one paw to quell hisughter while using the other to m the floorboard. Tears were starting to stream down his cheeks.

    Finally, Matcha made his way back to Zhao Yao. He took one look at him, then focused his attention on his ws while he spoke.

    ¡°Little Zhao,¡± he started, ¡°I need an extra pair of hands to clean the toilets in my vi. If you feel like you¡¯re up for it, I can give you that job. I¡¯ll let you in on a little secret. The tr¨¨s riche like myself do not like using self-cleaning automatic litter boxes. The smell...it¡¯s too strong. We prefer having people clean up after us. If you¡¯re interested, I can assign you to be my personal...¡±

    Bam !

    Zhao Yao had seized Matcha with just one hand. The ginger cat had been squeezed into a tight ball.

    ¡°Matcha,¡± Zhao Yao said menacingly, ¡°Am I losing my touch or have all those dreams made you stupid?¡±

    ¡°Dreams?¡± Matcha repeated after him dumbly.

    Countless memories hit him all at once like a freight train. The absoluteck of logic to each of the events was suddenly clear as day. Beads of cold sweat began to trickle down his back.

    ¡°Good God, I was dreaming!¡±

    After this dramatic deration, he fell to the floor in a dead faint.

    ¡°Stop pretending and get up,¡± Zhao Yao demanded, shaking Matcha.

    He red at Michael from the corner of his eyes and added, ¡°You actually joined them? I brought you into this prison with me so that you can help me investigate what has been going on and you decide to rebel instead?¡±

    ¡°No! I would never do that!¡± Matcha protested in earnest, ¡°He said that he would give me $1 million if I joined them. I epted the money, but I never promised to join them.¡±

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes at the ginger cat.

    ¡°So, this $1 million you mentioned, did you say that it was yours?¡± he asked.

    Matcha gulped. His pupils darted quickly from left to right and back again.

    ¡°No, no, that¡¯s not what I meant,¡± he said quickly, ¡°It is yours, Zhao Yao. The $1 million belongs to you. I was just keeping it on your behalf.¡±

    It was bing impossible for Roly Poly to hold it in. Even with his paw mped against his mouth, morsels ofughter were radiating off him. The fat rolls on his body were wobbling violently from the reverberations.

    Zhao Yao patted Matcha¡¯s head before dumping him on the ground.

    ¡°Go to that corner there and stand on your hind legs. You are not allowed to sit unless I say so,¡± he ordered.

    Matcha¡¯s face was wet with tears as he meekly did as he was told.

    ¡°I¡¯ll deal with you when we¡¯re home,¡± Zhao Yao added, throwing him onest dirty look.

    Then, he turned to Michael and said, ¡°For now, I want to talk to you. Tell me what your ns for the Cat King of the West are. What kind of dream is he stuck in?¡±

    Michael was dumbfounded. He never would have expected that his final hope, Matcha, would give up so easily. There was no fight. There was no brawl. The cat just surrendered. He looked towards him and shouted, ¡°Sir George! Why aren¡¯t you fighting back? Didn¡¯t you tell me that you only lent him your power because you pitied him? Didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯ve had enough of his tyranny?¡±

    Matcha¡¯s protestation was instant.

    ¡°Lies! You¡¯re telling lies!¡± he shouted, before turning his pair ofrge, innocent eyes at Zhao Yao, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, I don¡¯t know what this foreigner is talking about. I¡¯m loyal only to you.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes before gripping Michael¡¯s cor roughly.

    ¡°Save your breath,¡± he warned the blonde, ¡°My cats will never betray me. Now, tell me what the hell you¡¯re doing to the Cat King.¡±

    Even though Michael had no clue what Matcha had mewled about, he could still conclude that the ginger cat had no intention to fight his owner. He had no way out except to start talking.

    He had barely opened his mouth when a surge of anger stormed his body. He was ovee with an uncontroble fury that made him throw a punch at Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao caught Michael¡¯s fist almost immediately. He narrowed his eyes at his opponents, studying him. Hostile thoughts towards Michael were invading his mind. He felt that everything that had happened was this stupid blondie¡¯s fault and he really, really wanted to bash his skull in.

    The two men were not the only ones who were suddenly overwhelmed with rage. The supercats who surrounded them were beginning to look crabby.

    Matcha had extended his sharp ws. Roly Poly was baring his teeth. The ragdoll cat family had begun to hiss.

    Only Ares and Sphynx Cat were unaffected. The pair observed the changes around them curiously.

    ¡°I wonder what¡¯s going on?¡± Sphynx Cat asked.

    Ares thought about this for a moment before responding. ¡°This looks like a superpower to me. We might be protected because of my deflective shield.¡±

    At this, he expanded the reach of his shield to cover every man and cat that was at the end of the tunnel.

    The tense expressions on their faces instantly rxed. They were still full of fury, but it was not as intense as what they felt before.

    ¡°You fools!¡± Michael shouted, ¡°It¡¯s the Cat King! That was him activating his power!¡±

    Rationally, Michael knew that there was no point in getting angry or throwing a fit. However, there were still remnants of rage left that made it impossible for him to speak unless it was at the top of his lungs.

    Zhao Yao rolled his shoulders and shook out his arms and legs.

    ¡°What happened exactly?¡± he wondered aloud.

    ¡°That was the Cat King¡¯s work,¡± Michael yelled, ¡°His ability is to transform the temperaments of those around him to match his own. He had been a religious Buddhist, so he could reform the prisoners here.¡±

    ¡°Now, Nightmare Cat is keeping him in a dream that is filled with endless agony, rage, and violence,¡± he continued, still speaking at full volume, ¡°This is why the people and cats that are within his reach have be more and more aggressive!¡±

    All along, Michael had only asked Nightmare Cat to test the waters. He had never sanctioned a transformation as drastic as the one he just experienced.

    It would seem that the defeat at the hands of Zhao Yao had incited Nightmare Cat to forgo protocol. He was desperate for some revenge and the Cat King¡¯s power was the easiest way to get it. He would convert every supercat in the prison into feral monsters that would tear Zhao Yao apart, or at least cause him a bit of trouble.

    Even without the cats, Zhao Yao¡¯s new, antagonistic personality would ensure that he would initiate conflict and unrest wherever he went.

    ¡°How big is the Cat King¡¯s reach?¡± Zhao Yao shouted at Michael.

    ¡°He can affect the entire prison!¡± Michael bellowed, ¡°You¡¯ve got to kill him! He¡¯s a time bomb that can detonate any time now. When that happens, the supercats will be exploding with rage!

    ¡°Make Nightmare Cat stop!¡± Zhao Yao yelled back, ¡°Can¡¯t you just give him sweet dreams instead?!¡±

    Michael shook his head vehemently. Frustration was building in him like a hairball.

    ¡°No, I can¡¯t!¡± he cried, ¡°That cat does not listen to me. Even if I wanted to stop him by force, I can¡¯t. He¡¯s still in the dreamscape. He¡¯s untouchable!¡±

    A throbbing headache was developing beneath Zhao Yao¡¯s temples. He did not want to imagine the chaos that would ensue when dangerously hostile supercats, prisoners, and prison guards shed.

    He pushed against the boundaries of the deflective shield, fighting to get closer to the Cat King. A n was quickly formting in his head as he did so.

    The first thing he had to do was to quarantine the Cat King. He swiftly contained him in another force field, thereby blocking his power from seeping into the prison.

    ¡°This works, but I can¡¯t do this 24/7. This also doesn¡¯t deal with the fact that the prison probably already...¡±

    ¡°Stop hesitating! You might be able to stop the spread of his power now, but the damage has been done,¡± Michael shouted, echoing Zhao Yao¡¯s assumptions, ¡°The only way to undo it all is to kill him. I bet the prison has already descended into chaos. If you don¡¯t stop him now, things will only get worse.¡±

    Zhao Yao had no idea what was going on in the prison above them, but he could see that his own cats were starting to act on their aggression. Elizabeth¡¯s family of four were hissing and grappling with each other. Roly Poly and Matcha had gotten into an all-out brawl as well. Both were trying to scratch, bite, and beat the other.

    Only Ares and Sphynx Cat, who had been protected by the deflective shield all along, remainedposed. They were not hit by the Cat King¡¯s wave of ferocity.

    The scene of absolute anarchy moved Zhao Yao to ce his palm on the Cat King¡¯s head.

    ¡°Do I really have to kill him?¡± he wondered.

    ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°There must be another way.¡±

    Zhao Yao turned and shouted, ¡°Ares, put me and the Cat King in the same force field.¡±

    Ares blinked up at him in surprise. He asked, ¡°Are you sure?¡±

    ¡°Hurry!¡±

    Ares nodded and did as he was told. With that, Zhao Yao was containing the Cat King with one force field, which Ares was containing the two of them in another.

    Zhao Yao switched from Ares¡¯ skill to Elizabeth¡¯s. His eyes gleamed red as he seized control of the Cat King¡¯s mind.

    ¡°Wake up now!¡± he ordered.

    The Cat King¡¯s eyes snapped open. He might have just woken, but he was already in the worst of moods. He cast a malicious re at Zhao Yao, which was ignored.

    ¡°Deactivate your power!¡±

    Unfortunately, that did not work.

    ¡°How can this be?¡±

    It did not take long for Zhao Yao tond on a usible exnation, ¡°Maybe his power is always switched on? Does that mean that he has been spreading anger for as long as he was dreaming?¡±

    He had no time to question this conclusion. His close proximity to the Cat King had rapidly intensified the rage within him. He switched powers once more, this time to the Sixth Sense.

    ¡°C¡¯mon! Stop being so angry all the time! Can¡¯t you try and cheer up?¡±

    Zhao Yao had hoped to spread some semnce of joy to the Cat King. However, he himself was ovee with aplex blend of wrath and anxiety, so it was impossible to use the Sixth Sense as he had intended.

    Instead, the only emotion he managed to pass to the Cat King was his anger, which in turn worsened the cat¡¯s mood.

    ¡°I¡¯ve failed?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes narrowed in resentment. He yanked the Cat King¡¯s neck, squeezing it so tightly that it looked like he wanted to choke him to death.

    At this point, he had transformed into a man with the shortest of fuses. The smallest irritation could set him off. The only thing holding him back was his spirit, which was fortified with the strength of five supercats and would not be easily broken. It curtailed the savage impulses that pumped through his body.

    ¡°Of course I failed. I¡¯m not happy at all, so how can I spread joy?¡± he reasoned with himself, ¡°The only thing I can give him is what I feel now ¨C fury.¡±

    Golden shimmers shed past Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes as he tried to activate the Sixth Sense again. This time, he delivered an incorruptible ethos that sat at the very core of his existence.

    ¡°Can you stop wasting time on s**t like this? Life is so much better when all you do is eat, sleep, and y video games!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s cker¡¯s attitude to life rolled off him in waves and crashed into the Cat King, drowning him. In that moment, the profuse anger within him dissipated to give way toziness. In turn, the fury that he had been spreading was also transformed into idleness, which was passed back to Zhao Yao. Upon receiving it, Zhao Yao¡¯s own lethargy deepened and that drilled into the Cat King too. This mutual sharing ofziness kept going and kept building, creating an infinite flow of idleness.

    10 minutester, all the fighting had stopped. Elizabeth, Matcha, Roly Poly and the rest of the cats were passed out on the floor, not moving or responding.

    Ares peered at Zhao Yao and the Cat King of the West, who were both lying on the floor as well. He scratched his chin thoughtfully and wondered, ¡°Has he seeded?¡±

    ¡°My dear Ares, why don¡¯t you withdraw the force field so we can find out?¡± Sphynx Cat suggested, ¡°If something¡¯s not right, bring it back right away.¡±

    Ares nodded in response to Sphynx Cat¡¯s words.

    ¡°You¡¯re right. I¡¯ll just open up a small corner.¡±

    With that, he sliced the force field that isted Zhao Yao and the Cat King by a sliver.

    That little gap was enough for the infinite flow of idleness to squeeze through and flood the entire prisonplex. It took a mere millisecond for Ares¡¯ vision to blur. He felt like the gears in his mind suddenly stopped turning.

    Thankfully, Sphynx Cat was no easy target. He was quick to respond and smacked Ares¡¯ bum, yelling, ¡°Cover it back up!¡±

    Ares found that he was unable to respond. The most that he could do was to make the force field whole again, cutting the Cat King from the rest of the world once more. Only then did the haze ofziness begin to clear.

    Unfortunately, the damage was done.

    It felt as if every ounce of energy had been seeped from Ares¡¯ body. He did not want to move. In fact, he did not want to do anything at all. He was shocked that this had happened when he opened up the force field, but he was toozy to even express his surprise or worry. He simply stared at Zhao Yao and the Cat King blearily.

    ¡°What happened just now?¡± he drawled, ¡°I feel..zy.¡±

    He promptly copsed on the floor. Every thought in his head had tlined except for his desire to continue maintaining the force fields.

    Sphynx Cat was the only one that remained on his paws.

    It was not that he was immune to the infinite flow of idleness. He was suffering from its effects too, but his determination was as strong as his physical body. He used his resolve to fight off theziness that threatened to take over.

    ¡°That must have been the Cat King¡¯s ability,¡± he announced to his friends, whom were all on the ground not because of grievous injury, but overwhelming lethargy, ¡°Only he has the power to transform a person or a cat¡¯s disposition so drastically. The anger that we experienced must have beziness because Zhao Yao somehow changed the Cat King.¡±

    ¡°Changed the Cat King?¡± Ares repeatedly dumbly.

    ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Sphynx Cat replied patiently, ¡°Zhao Yao must have turned his rage intoziness. This is why the two of them are just lying there, belly-up like dead fish, even though they are perfectly awake. I¡¯m afraid they¡¯ve be super ckers.¡±

    Zhao Yao started to stir just as he finished speaking. First, his hands began to tremble. Then, he ced one palm squarely on the ground and used it to support his weight as he gingerly climbed onto his feet. He rotated his head from side to side, rolled his shoulders, then started walking towards the Cat King as if he had not been paralyzed with idleness just moments ago.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on now?¡± Ares wondered aloud, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that they have be super ckers? Why is he so normal now?¡±

    Sphynx Cat was gawking at Zhao Yao in surprise as well. However, it only took him a while to figure out what was going on.

    ¡°I get it now. I believe this is why,¡± he murmured to himself.

    By now, Ares was filled with curiosity. He still felt terriblyzy, but he mustered the energy to ask, ¡°So, why is this happening?¡±

    Sphynx Cat¡¯s began his exnation with a couple of rhetorical question, ¡°If you poured more ink into a pot of ink, would it turn any darker? If you poured more poop into a litter box already full of poop, would it get any stinkier?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s what¡¯s happening in Zhao Yao¡¯s case,¡± he continued, ¡°Hisziness has long surpassed that of an ordinary person¡¯s. In fact, it is impossible for him to get anyzier. This state of idleness is his default way of life.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Ares said in disbelief, ¡°But he isn¡¯t that muchzier than anyone else, right?¡±

    Sphynx Cat shook his head gravely. He sighed, ¡°Well, I¡¯m not sure about that. Perhaps he has reached a level ofziness that is beyond ourprehension. That is the only exnation I can offer you right now.¡±

    Ares turned his bbergasted gaze back to Zhao Yao, whom was behaving as per normal.

    When Zhao Yao reached the Cat King of the West, he grabbed him in one hand and brought his face close to his own.

    ¡°Hey,¡± he said, ¡°Time to wake up.¡±

    He received no response because the Cat King had given up all thought.

    ¡°Christ,¡± Zhao Yao thought to himself as he studied the emptiness in the cat¡¯s eyes, ¡°He¡¯s be a bit of a soul destructor, hasn¡¯t he? He¡¯s going to incapacitate every being he reaches.¡±

    At that, he patted the Cat King¡¯s head and tried speaking to him again, ¡°Hey,e on, it¡¯s time to snap back to reality. If not, I¡¯m going to keep you here for all eternity.¡±

    There was still no response.

    ¡°Once I retract the Sixth Sense, its effects should wear off,¡± Zhao Yao pondered, ¡°But it seems like I¡¯ve gone slightly overboard this time. The residual effect is pretty persistent.¡±

    ¡°Seems like I¡¯ve got to inject him with some positivity and encouragement.¡±

    Zhao Yaounched the Sixth Sense again.

    ¡°Alright! It¡¯s time to get back on your feet! You are the friggin¡¯ Cat King of the West!¡±

    He never would have expected that his best intentions were tranted into something else altogether when they reached the Cat King. The poor cat began to wither before his eyes, curling into a spineless ball. Zhao Yao tapped his nose and nearly jumped in shock.

    The Cat King did not just stop thinking, he had just stopped breathing.

    ¡°Give me a break! Seriously? I was trying to give you some pep! Why aren¡¯t the effects of the infinite idleness wearing off?¡±

    At this point, Zhao Yao still had not discovered that the infinite flow did not affect his actions because he had always lived life in theziest manner. However, it did exaggerate the cker ethos that was at the core of his existence. This meant that when he activated the Sixth Sense, he was going to end up passing more idleness to his target instead of whatever emotion he was actually trying to give off.

    In essence, the Sixth Sense was more prone to failure now than ever before.

    Zhao Yao quickly hit the Cat King¡¯s head again, but this time it was more of a smack than a pat. He pressed at his chest, hoping to get him to start breathing again. Eventually, it worked.

    ¡°Well, the Sixth Sense is off the table when dealing with this one.¡±

    Zhao Yao was at a loss. He was not sure what to do next. He thought, ¡°As long as I can ignite his basic instincts, get him to remember what matters to him most at the very core, he will be able to triumph the idleness. What will make him want to get on his feet again? Let me see...¡±

    His internal monologue was interrupted when Elizabeth brushed past him. She had woken up a while ago.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, are we done here?¡± she drawledzily, ¡°It¡¯s almost time for my livestream. Can I go home first?¡±

    ¡°Okay, we¡¯ll be done soon.¡±

    Elizabeth¡¯s voice must have stirred something within the Cat King because it was at this moment that his eyes snapped wide open. Saying that he got up would be an understatement. He practically bounced onto his feet when he heard her voice. He stared at her as if he could not believe that she was here.

    He smiled gently and asked, ¡°Are you Lilibet?¡±

    ¡°Who are you?¡± Elizabeth retorted coldly.

    The Cat King sprung towards her, squishing his face against the force field that kept them apart.

    ¡°I¡¯m Cat King of the Best! I¡¯m the admin for your livestream group. I sent you a rocket the other day, remember?¡± he exined earnestly.

    ¡°Oh.¡±

    Elizabeth¡¯s cial expression warmed up immediately. She smiled back at him sweetly.

    ¡°So you¡¯re Cat King of the Best? I didn¡¯t know that you¡¯re the leader of the prison meow~ .¡±

    ¡°Leader? Well, it¡¯s no big deal,¡± the Cat Kingughed, ¡°Lilibet, could I take a wefie with you? Your fans are going to die of envy when they see it.¡±

    ¡°Of course! That¡¯s no problem at all meow~ ,¡± Elizabeth said brightly.

    She whipped out her phone and the two of them began taking a bunch of photos. The fact that a force field stood between them did not dampen the Cat King¡¯s spirits. He looked like he was about to explode with joy.

    ¡°Ah, I actually have a photo with Lilibet. Gosh, I think I might die. I¡¯m one lucky cat,¡± he thought to himself.

    To her, he said, ¡°Lilibet, add me on WeChat and send me the photos, won¡¯t you?¡±

    <h4>Chapter 529: Cat Idol~</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    ¡°Oh, I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t do that,¡± Elizabeth apologized, offering him a sharine smile, ¡°Idols cannot add fans on WeChat meow~ .¡±

    Her grin dazzled the Cat King, who lookedpletely spellbound.

    ¡°But not to worry, I¡¯ll post the photos on Weibo tonight. You¡¯ll be able to see itter meow~ . I have to go now to prepare for tonight¡¯s livestream. I¡¯m counting on you to always support your lovely Lilibet meow~ .¡±

    ¡°Oh, of course, of course! You should go, Lilibet. I¡¯ll gift you a hundred rockets tonight! And I¡¯ll let everyone know that you are a hundred times cuter in real life,¡± he said, nodding earnestly.

    Elizabeth shed him onest smile before whipping her head around. The corners of her lips immediately turned downward into a nasty grimace. She stuck out her tongue, as if she wanted to vomit.

    ¡°Geez, what a gross bald cat,¡± she thought to herself.

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes after he watched their exchange.

    ¡°Seriously? That¡¯s it?¡± he wondered, ¡°Just how much does the Cat King desire Elizabeth? Hearing her voice was enough for him to ovee the infinite idleness.¡±

    ¡°Does this mean that the transformations triggered by the Cat King are neither permanent nor absolute? That would only be natural. As a person or cat ages, his disposition will evolve and mature as well.¡±

    Zhao Yao checked if this was true with the Cat King, whom nodded in agreement.

    ¡°Of course. When you leave my influence for long enough, you will eventually revert to your most primal personality. It is difficult to change who we are at our very core. This is why my rehabilitation program requires more than just my superpower.¡±

    Now that he had this confirmation, Zhao Yao turned his attention to Elizabeth instead.

    ¡°What was that?¡± he started, ¡°You¡¯re acquainted with the Cat King of the West?¡±

    ¡°Kind of. He¡¯s a fan of my livestreams. He¡¯s quite generous, so I made him a moderator. He seemed to think that this gives him the right to ask me out all the time. It is so annoying.¡±

    The corners of Zhao Yao¡¯s lips trembled with mirth.

    ¡°I see. I have one more question,¡± he said, ¡°When you were speaking with him just now, why must you end your sentences with meow~?¡±

    Elizabeth answered in a deadpan voice, ¡°A small part of me chips away and dies every time I say it, but otaku cats love it.¡±

    Zhao Yao shrugged his shoulders, as if to say, ¡°Oh well.¡±

    He turned back to the Cat King and asked, ¡°So, you¡¯re alright now? Everything¡¯s back to normal?¡±

    Now that Elizabeth was not around, the Cat King¡¯s sweet-tempered disposition seemed to have left the room too. The kindness in his face had been reced with disdain when he turned to Zhao Yao.

    When he spoke, his tone was condescending, ¡°Oh, human, you¡¯re the one who helped me? You¡¯re also the guy who cleans up after Elizabeth? What a lucky bastard. Here, this is my reward for you.¡±

    With that, he wed at his bum and removed a few strands of hair, which he then handed to Zhao Yao.

    ¡°You piece of sh...¡±

    Before hepleted his sentence, Zhao Yao already had one foot mmed against the Cat King¡¯s face, pinning him to the floor. He stamped on him unapologetically, reducing him from a lofty king to a pathetic thing.

    When he could finally get back on his feet, his hair was inplete disarray. He coughed purposefully, then bowed down to Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Thank you for saving my life, Your Highness,¡± he said respectfully.

    ¡°That¡¯s more like it,¡± Zhao Yaomented, ¡°Oh, where¡¯s the meteorite fragment anyway? Michael used it to lure you, didn¡¯t he?¡±

    The whole thing was a little odd. Till now, not one of his supercats could feel the radiation from the meteorite.

    ¡°Sure, the fragment,¡± the Cat King said.

    He pottered to a corner at the end of the tunnel.

    ¡°Just give me a second,¡± he added.

    ¡°Huh?¡± Zhao Yao muttered, eyeing the cat suspiciously.

    He watched as the Cat King arched his back, sticking his furry butt out. His face was scrunched up in concentration. Altogether, he looked very much like he was about to poop.

    ¡°Oh God, no,¡± Zhao Yao groaned as a bad feeling washed over him.

    A momentter, the Cat King walked up to him and pointed at the pile of excrements that he had created.

    ¡°Sorry, I hid the fragment in my mouth and ended up swallowing it by ident. But it¡¯s okay, see, it¡¯s right there. I¡¯ve pooped it out,¡± he exined.

    The corners of Zhao Yao¡¯s lips twitched involuntarily when he looked at the s**t he was supposed to sift through. Sieving was not even the worst he had to do. Based on his previous experience with Cat Sage, he had to absorb the fragment into his body.

    He did not want to touch or absorb anything poop-infested.

    He was looking around for inspiration when his eyesnded on the supercats passed out cold. With a wave of his hand, one of the cats came flying towards him. It was Matcha.

    ¡°Wow, the high-quality cat food is really worth the money. His hair is so shiny and smooth. It makes the perfect towel.¡±

    After cleaning it with the Matcha towel, dousing it in water, then polishing it with an antibacterial wipe, Zhao Yao finally had the meteorite fragment in his palm.

    Just like before, the fragment melted into his hand once his skin made contact with it. When that happened, he saw that the fragment collection mission was now 5%plete.

    ¡°Darn, I need to hit 10% before I¡¯ll get any experience points.¡±

    Regardless, the prison situation hade to a sessful close. Not only did Zhao Yao secure the fragment, he alsopleted two missions ¨C one about investigating what was happening here and the other about waking the Cat King. This earned him a neat 3,000 * 2 experience points.

    His Book also reached Level 6 (30,122 / 20,000).

    Zhao Yao looked at Elizabeth¡¯s experience points, which stood at Level 7 (1,600 / 20,000).

    ¡°I can level her up now, but I do want to maintain the 20,000 point surplus in case I need to fuse the Sphynx Cat¡¯s powers. So I would still need over 8,000 points if I want to take her to the next level.¡±

    Zhao Yao pursed his lips, ¡°But the failure rate of the Sixth Sense is just too embarrassing. I¡¯ve got to quickly upgrade Elizabeth to solve this.¡±

    Now that the mission was done and dusted, it was time to tie up loose ends. After getting Elizabeth¡¯s family to wipe out Michael¡¯s memory of thest 24 hours, Zhao Yao started to usher all his cats back home.

    The prison episode would have ended perfectly if not for the fact that Nightmare Cat had managed to slip away once more. This was their second meeting, but Zhao Yao still had no clue what he looked like.

    When everything and everyone was cleared out of the tunnel, Zhao Yao headed up to the prisonplex. He found every supercat and person, prisoners and guards, sprawled out on the ground, looking very much like happy, but deliberated, opium addicts.

    The happiest of them all was Dust Ball, who had created an endless portal between the prison cells using the extradimensional belly.

    She was practically skipping through them, a bag of cat mint dangling from her mouth.

    ¡°Catmint! Catmint for sale!¡± she said in a sing-song manner, ¡°Keep zing and stay amazing, my friends. Come on, who wants some?¡±

    There was no shortage of cats who would love to take up her offer. The lethargic haze draped over them like a warm, lovely nket. There was nothing they wanted more than to curl up in a corner and enjoy some catmint.

    Dust Ball wanted to do the same, but her desire to rake in lots and lots of money quelled anyziness that threatened to take hold. What was more, she could earn experience points along the way. Golden exmation marks were popping up everywhere as each cat wished for some good, ol¡¯ catmint to be delivered to them.

    She was killing two birds with one stone.

    Dust Ball was smiling so hard that her cheeks were beginning to cramp.

    ¡°I sure have to hurry! The demand for my catmint is off the charts,¡± she thought, pleased.

    In an office somewhere else in the prisonplex, a British Shorthair materialized from a sleeping guard¡¯s head.

    Nightmare Cat had finally appeared.

    The Cat King and Michael were not the only ones he had pulled into the dreamscape. He had also brought in a random prison guard to serve as his escape route. This way, he would not have to meet any of them when he returned to reality.

    The moment Nightmare Cat entered the real world, he fell to the ground,ying on his back with all four paws in the air. His mouth fell open as he stared nkly at the ceiling.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to move.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 530: Highest Combat Power and Downgrade</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    As a result of Zhao Yao¡¯s actions, the entire prison has returned to its original state, and it was even morefortable than before.

    After exchanging a few sentences with Uncle Ho, Zhao Yao swallowed back his words.

    ...

    At the same time, in Huadu District far in the south,

    The God of Deathy in the office at the top of the building, his whole body seemed to have sunk into the sofa.

    His whole body felt sluggish and he did not feel like moving.

    ¡°Damn, what is going on? Is it the doing of the Headless Horseman?¡±

    The God of Death wanted to rub his forehead but found that he was toozy to even lift his arm.

    The bizarre change urred just a few minutes ago from the prison of Jiangmen city Cat King of the West.

    Suddenly, the God of Death felt a little too listless to do anything at all, so listless that he could not perk himself up.

    Numerous puppets that were manipted by him all showed abnormalities of listlessness instantaneously. In a state of despair, he could only bring all the puppets under surveince, monitoring them on one hand and pushing them to work on the other.

    ¡°I can¡¯t go on like this. I have to work hard and let the puppets¡¯self-consciousness motivate them to work. If I merely watch them from the side, they will definitely find a way to rebel after some time.¡±

    On the inside, the God of Death was yelling, ¡°I want to get up, I want to fight, I want the Headless Horseman killed!¡±

    After yelling for a while, the God of Death felt that his body was still lethargic, and he muttered to himself, ¡°Rest for five more minutes and get up. I must force myself up and fight.¡±

    Half an hourter, a young ghostly man with ck frame sses, drilled out of the ground of the office and stood in front of the God of Death...

    Looking at the lifeless face of the God of Death, the young man pushed back his ck frame sses and said, ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    ¡°You are here, Midnight.¡± The God of Death shifted his eyes reluctantly and said, ¡°I am thinking how Ivory will develop from now on.¡±

    This man standing in front of him who looks like an ordinary otaku, and named ¡®Midnight¡¯ by the God of Death, was one of the top existing few among the tens of thousands of apostles in Ivory.

    The virtual spirit-body he borrows allows the body to prate everything known in nature, including ground, cement, steel, nt life, humans, animals, flesh and blood, and even electromaic waves and radiation.

    This ability gave him near-invincible defense. It was one of the trump cards of the God of Death. In fact, his power alone is almost enough to suppress a country.

    Until now, Midnight could not even think of a way to kill himself.

    Every fightes with every victory.

    An idea unconsciously surfaced in his mind.

    ¡°I suppose the ability of the virtual spirit-body is invincible.¡±

    It was only when he joined Ivory that he found a few apostles and supercats that could barely match him.

    And Midnight is also the first person to arrive after the God of Death¡¯s call for Ivory¡¯s strongestbat power this time.

    The young man, named Midnight, pushed his ck frame sses and said again, ¡°What is it that you are so eager to find me? My problem in the north has not been resolved yet.¡±

    ¡°Hang on, there are other peopleing, I¡¯ll say it together then.¡± The God of Death justy on the sofa and talked in a listless tone, toozy to even lift up his fingers.

    Midnight slightly dazed, frowned and said. ¡°Who else is there? Am I not enough?¡±

    The God of Death said to him straightforwardly, ¡°For this mission, you alone will not be enough.¡±

    The corner of Midnight¡¯s mouth curved up slightly, ¡°Oh, interesting, this is really interesting.¡± This is also the first time since he joined Ivory that he is joining a team toplete the task, which perked his curiosity even more.

    ¡°Who else did you call toe?¡±

    The God of Death said, ¡°Old K, Lang Gou, A Ji, and twelve elite apostles whose energies have been lent from the Doll.¡±

    ¡°Hey.¡± Midnight¡¯s tone turned serious, ¡°We are not fighting against the country, are we?¡±

    Among the names which the God of Death mentioned, the first two apostles are the ones who are also very troublesome when dealt with. The ability of the super cat called the Doll is even more so a taboo, and now it has been lent to twelve apostles.

    This made Midnight question whether Ivory was going to fight the country.

    The God of Death denied, ¡°How is it possible, I have not thought about it.¡±

    Midnight wondered, ¡°Could it be the Talons in the north? Heard their leader is quite interesting, I¡¯d like to meet him. Or have the Americans brought their Talons over? I heard that supercats in Maine are the most powerful supercats. I have long wanted to have a look at.¡±

    ¡°Neither.¡± The God of Death said, ¡°All just to deal with one person.¡±

    ¡°One person?¡± Midnight raised his brows and said, ¡°Are you kidding?¡±

    ¡°I am not kidding.¡± The God of Death said till here, and the listless tone was finally overtaken by a strong feeling of resentment, ¡°I just want that person to be dead, because he sinned for death, and even death will not be able to atone for his sins.¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao returned to the extradimensional belly. First, he pointed to Matcha and eximed, ¡°You! Hurry up and bathe! Your body is terribly smelly, it¡¯s terribly gross.¡±

    Matcha looked at the filth on its body, and groaned, ¡°Why am I so dirty? I was definitely clean when I was awake.¡±

    Zhao Yao said with a look of disgust, ¡°Who knows. Hurry up and bath on your own now.¡±

    At this moment, the numerous supercats belonging to the Cat Royal Guards and initially staying put in the extradimensional belly, saw the return of Matcha and immediately huddled together and shrieked, ¡°Sir George is back!¡±

    ¡°George, you are finally back, I missed you immensely!¡±

    The cats shouted, ¡°Sir George! Sir George! Sir George! Sir George!¡±

    However, as soon as they saw the filth on Matcha, they stopped in cohesion and their faces showed hesitation.

    Only Airne rushed up, hugged Matcha with no apprehension and said, ¡°George, are you fine? How did this happen? Let me help you lick.¡±

    Matcha touched by him, said, ¡°Airne, I really didn¡¯t misjudge you.¡± At that moment, he was extremely d that he had nurtured Airne.

    Just then, Zhao Yao, who stood at the side, said, ¡°Matcha, your performance in prison this time is too disappointing.¡± Zhao Yao sighed and said, ¡°I think you can have a break as the leader of Cat Royal Guards, stop for a period of time.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s mouth hung open and looked at Zhao Yao with a face of disappointment. Roly Poly, on the other hand, was sniggering at a corner.

    Cat Royal Guards, who had just cheered for Matcha, immediately shunned and hid in a ce more than ten meters away.

    Airne who originally wanted to help Matcha lick his fur, spit a mouthful of saliva on Matcha and returned to the group of cats.

    ¡°From today onwards, the Cat Royal Guards will have another cat as the leader.¡± Zhao Yao looked at the group of cats and asked, ¡°You will rmend a cat that you think is highly respected to be the leader.¡±

    The Cat Royal Guards faced one another, and at that moment, a glimmer of light shed across Airne¡¯s eyes.

    Airne then hid at the far end, covering his mouth and yelling, ¡°I propose Airne to take to lead the Cat Royal Guards.¡±

    ¡°Airne?¡±

    ¡°Can Airne do it?¡±

    Airne had already made his way to the other side, changed his tone and shouted, ¡°I think Airne can.¡±

    Then he walked to the side, raised his ws sneakily and shouted, ¡°Airne! Airne! Airne! Airne!¡±

    The supercats stayed silent for a while and the next moment, all of them raised their ws and shouted, ¡°Airne! Airne!¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded. ¡°Then starting from today, the Cat Royal Guards will be led by Airne.¡±

    Matcha witnessed all of it with his mouth hung wide open. nkly, he said, ¡°What about me?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Isn¡¯t the house undergoing renovation right now? I¡¯m not at ease using other people¡¯s workers.¡±

    He looked at Matcha tenderly and said, ¡°You are the cat which I am most unworried about, from tomorrow onwards you can help to shift bricks at home.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 531: Death Exemption Ticket</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Upon hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s words, Matcha said agitatedly, ¡°Zhao Yao... Zhao Yao, look at my tiny arms and legs, how am I able to move the bricks?¡±

    ¡°You have the nerve to say that?¡± Zhao Yao pressed on Matcha¡¯s belly, and it wobbled, ¡°Look at your stomach, I give you so much good food every day, and you eat all of it. You are getting fatter and fatter, and if you were to run a hundred meters now, you will be panting. Just right, you should move some bricks to train up yourself.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s mouth hung wide open, and with a sullen look on his face, he thought to himself, ¡°This guy used to touch my belly and said it was adorable. Now, heins that I¡¯m fat. Human beings are so unreliable, the cat has to be self-reliant.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡± Zhao Yao patted Matcha¡¯s head and took him to the construction site at home, ¡°The materials have been sent over the past few days, I will let all of them pile the things on the first floor, then let them write down where the things should be ced. All you have to do is shift the things ordingly.¡±

    Because Zhao Yao bought the entire 18-story building, the first floor of the building has been demolished entirely, and it was turned into an empty hallpletely, with all sorts of construction materials ced everywhere.

    Matcha looked at the bags of cement, and said, ¡°Zhao Yao... Zhao Yao, I really can¡¯t move these things.¡±

    ¡°If you can¡¯t move them, then find someone to help.¡± Zhao Yao looked at his phone and said, ¡°I allow you to find people to help, as long as you are able to find people, even if everything is left to the other cats to transport up, sure.¡±

    Zhao Yao then patted Matcha and said, ¡°Keep up the good work, after you are done moving the materials, I can hand over the entire construction project to you. This is a big job, and you are the cat I trust. ¡±

    Matcha eximed, ¡°Will there be any pay?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± Zhao Yao patted Matcha¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°After finishing the brickwork, every cat can get a death exemption ticket from me. In the future, regardless of how serious a mistake you made, I can overlook it once.¡±

    Matcha frowned, and he felt that something was off.

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°Don¡¯t think that these death exemption tickets are useless. Take this time, youmitted such a big crime in prison, if you had a death exemption ticket, you would not have been dismissed at all. As mad as I am, I will still have to forgive you, and you will still be the leader of the Cat Royal Guards.¡±

    Matcha eyes glimmered, ¡°It¡¯s that useful?¡±

    ¡°No, if it were in other people¡¯s homes, that the cat made such a provoking and unforgivable mistake, you would have long been made into a cat meat hot pot by now, but now, not only am I not eating you, I am even giving you such a huge project...that is because I believe in you, Matcha.¡±

    Zhao Yao said with a heavy heart, ¡°Don¡¯t think that I am only trying to make you suffer now. It is all for the sake of training you. You are in such a bad state now, and I am the most heartbroken! All I hope for is that you will take up this project and train well so that you can inherit my legacy in the future.¡±

    Matcha was moved, ¡°Zhao Yao! I understand now, I will do it well!¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded, ¡°It¡¯s best that you understand. He left Matcha to do work at home, and returned to the extradimensional belly gate, and thought to himself, ¡°Not bad, not bad, I savedbor costs for the renovation of the 18-story building. Most importantly, now that I leave it to the cat to do it, I won¡¯t have to worry about all sorts of confidentiality issues anymore.¡±

    Matcha watched as Zhao Yao left, and sneered, ¡°Hey, silly Yao, you still think that I am the innocent and lovely Matcha? Only the death exemption ticket worked.¡±

    The silhouette of a few supercats surfaced in Matcha¡¯s mind, ¡°I know that there are several cats who will definitely be interested in this death exemption ticket. I will give three of the cats one, and keep the remaining two-thirds of the tickets for myself, hehe.¡±

    Thinking of this, he first took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat to Fish Ball, ¡°Zhao Yao¡¯s death exemption ticket, do you want it?¡±

    After a while, Fish Ball replied, ¡°You want to use your home vouchers to free us from the sins of our family?¡±

    ¡°Why not?¡± Matcha immediately persuaded, ¡°That, is Zhao Yao¡¯s death exemption ticket. Who is Zhao Yao? You think about it.¡±

    On the other side, once Zhao Yao crossed over the extradimensional belly gate and entered the extradimensional belly, he saw Airne lying t at the gateway.

    As soon as Zhao Yao walked in, Airne immediately rushed to Zhao Yao¡¯s foot and rubbed against him.

    Airne asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, how is Matcha?¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at him, ¡°You care about Matcha a lot?¡±

    The ne pretended to be low-spirited and said, ¡°After all, he is my old leader, looking at how things turned out, I feel ungratified for him too.¡±

    ¡°You are thoughtful.¡± Zhao Yao nodded, ¡°Do it well, I have high hopes for you.¡±

    As he talks, Zhao Yao bent down and touched Airne¡¯s head, and Airne showed a look of enjoyment.

    Roly Poly rushed in from the other side, just in time to witness this very scene. He thought to himself, ¡°Damn, overtook by him.¡±

    He initially wanted to look for Zhao Yao and feign to care about Matcha, to check out the other party¡¯s situation, but Airne was a step ahead of him.

    Roly Poly thought, ¡°This guy looks much more sly than Matcha that idiot, but no matter how resourceful you are, how would you have known I have long nted an idea.¡± At this moment, Roly Poly could not be dder to let Meat Bun join the Cat Royal Guards, as a spy.

    As the formerckey of the three Cat Lion Head in Jiangmen University, he is still the more trusted one.

    After a while of appeasement, Airne, Zhao Yao found a ce and decided to take a nap, the series of happenings in the prison had really drained him.

    After a yawn, Zhao Yaoy on the sofa and thought, ¡°The Sixth Senses illusion still needs to be upgraded. A single upgrade may not even be enough. Have got to brush up the experience slowly.¡±

    At this moment, Dust Ball jumped onto Zhao Yao¡¯s abdominal muscles and red at him with his big eyes, ¡°Zhao Yao, where¡¯s the 10,000 yuan!¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll get it done now.¡± He touched the head of Dust Ball, and the little ck cat looked up proudly and said, ¡°Take a look at my experience!¡± I have done a lot of tasks, won¡¯t you reward me with a bit more money?¡±

    Zhao Yao scanned through Dust Ball¡¯s resume, Dust Ball Level 8 (22455/50000) had more than around a thousand experience pointspared to before.

    Zhao Yao was shocked, ¡°You earned so much from selling catmints?¡±

    Dust Ball clenched his paws and said, ¡°Of course, master the catmints! And you master the supercat! Aren¡¯t you going to reward me with more money to let me grow more catmints? There are so many empty plots ofnd on the Cat Ind now.¡±

    ¡°Well, I¡¯ll give you another 10,000 yuan, a total of 20,000 yuan should be enough.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s better.¡± After receiving the money, Dust Ball stomped on Zhao Yao¡¯s abdominal muscles harshly and jumped away, and he eagerly went off to ce his order for the seeds.

    In the following few days, Zhao Yao continued to care for the cats, tend the Cat Cafe andplete tasks, to slowly gather experience to upgrade Elizabeth.

    On the other hand, Ivory¡¯s entire movement had retreated, and the spections of Ivory¡¯s dissolution of rumors and the Mobile Legends¡¯ movement a few days ago, can be seen everywhere on the Cat Web. In any case, the slow down of Ivory¡¯s movement was a great relief for the official apostles.

    But these were not among Zhao Yao¡¯s concerns, regardless of whether Ivory was looking at scaling down their strength, and putting a stop to infiltration, he remained steadfast in upgrading Elizabeth to strengthen his illusionary skills and strengthen his force.

    However, there weren¡¯t any huge projects these few days, which resulted in a slow down of Zhao Yao¡¯s speed in gaining experience.

    ...

    This evening, in the extradimensional belly, a paper box vibrated for a few moments. A split secondter, Airne¡¯s head stretched out from the paper box. After he nced from left to right, he carefully walked out of it.

    Airne raised a thumbs-up in the direction of the female cat and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Come and find me for an interview tomorrow, I will get you into Cat Royal Guards right away.¡±

    Mother cat giggled, ¡°Thanks Brother Airne.¡±

    Airne broke into a smile and walked away in good spirits.

    However, Airne had no idea that all of these were witnessed by Meat Bun who was a distance away. He used his phone to snap the photo when Airne got out, and recorded it down on a little notebook, ¡°Hmph, ying against the unspoken rules? Airne is crossing the line more than Matcha in the past.¡±

    After he was done recording, Meat Bun then proceeded to send the photo to Roly Poly.

    Roly Poly sat in a huge tree hole, at the base of the Royal Cat Police Force, and he had a book ced in front of him, with the cover page in four big words, On The Protracted War.

    Every now and then, Roly Poly would nod his head and say, ¡°Hm, it¡¯s so well-written. So profound.¡±

    After a while, Caesar walked over and said, ¡°Roly Poly, Meat Bun has sent a message over!¡±

    After looking at it, Roly Poly started to frown unconsciously.

    ¡± Airne..., really doesn¡¯t change his bad habits.¡± Lion Head who stood at the side said agitatedly, ¡°Roly Poly, this is solid evidence, ying against the unspoken rules with the female cat, let¡¯s hurry and show this to Zhao Yao.¡±

    After Roly Poly heard what Lion Head said, he shook his head.

    Lion Head said, ¡°You don¡¯t agree? He is already ying the unspoken rules with the female cat. Okay then, Roly Poly, are you thinking of doing this with another female cat? Which cat caught your interest? Lion Head then gave Roly Poly¡¯s a huge bite on his ear.

    Roly Poly smiled helplessly, ¡± Why would I do such things, Lion Head you have to trust me.¡± He sighed to himself, ¡°This big fat cat, sigh, if it wasn¡¯t for his cat blood and prestige, I would have definitely gotten rid of him.¡±

    ¡°Alright, Lion head, you keep quiet.¡± Uncle Egg said at the side, ¡°This bit of evidence, can¡¯t prove much, and even if Airne is with someone else, how would it matter? Everyone here are sons and daughters in the business, we are liberal, this little thing doesn¡¯t count much as a taint.¡±

    ¡°Uncle Egg is right. ¡± Roly Poly continued immediately, ¡°The crucial part is that Airne is getting bolder. After getting up on the ranks for a few days, and he already forbade Cat Royal Guards internal department to y, and following he brought the cats to y Yin Yang Master,pletely eradicating the influence Matcha had in Cat Royal Guards.¡±

    Roly poly¡¯s eyes, ¡± To the rest, he is partnering with the other departments, he sent Dust Ball Ennd-imported catmints, rewarded Elizabeth with a rocket, sent Sphynx Cat some lubricating oil, gave Cat Sage red packets, and even me...¡±

    Roly Poly rubbed his oily mouth, and stared at the empty KFC family bucket, and sighed, ¡°AIrne¡¯s actions, all suggest that he is plotting something huge, the feeling this guy gives off, is even scarier than the previous Matcha.¡±

    Uncle Egg asked, ¡°What should we do?¡±

    ¡°This is called using a cat to put a stop to another cat.¡± Roly Poly giggled, then ate another big bite of original chicken, and said with his entire mouth glistening from the oil, ¡± ording to Meat Bun¡¯s observation, The internal department of Cat Royal Guards, still has a lot of cats who miss Matcha, who loves to y King and dislikes ying Yin Yang Master. This shows that Matcha¡¯s influence is still around.¡±

    I will make a trip to the construction area in a while to see Matcha, I want to step in to help him and Airne put up a good fight.¡±

    Uncle Egg glimmered, nodded and said, ¡°Genius, indeed a genius.¡±

    Other supercats shouted along, ¡°Stepfather makes sense.¡±

    After a while, Roly Poly walked to the extradimensional belly gate, he first looked at the extradimensional belly gate of the Cat Cafe, and saw Zhao Yao giving Old Man Zhuang an illusionary dinner at the moment, he took a few glimpses and turned to walk towards the transferal gate at the 17th floor.

    ...

    At the Cat Cafe, it is the end of the working shift again, Old Man Zhuang brought Lao He and the others to enjoy the dinner Zhao Yao prepared for them.

    The few of them at this very moment, they seemed more or less more relieved of stressespared to the past few days.

    Zhao Yao used illusionary skills to dish out a te of steamed scallops with garlic, while he looked at them and asked, ¡± What? I heard Ivory¡¯s has stopped recently?¡±

    Old Man Zhuang smiled and nodded, ¡± Yes, ever since the disband and the Mobile Legends matter, they have stopped their initial advance and infiltration, heard that the Dead King is tired of these jobs, haha, it is a great thing.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and thought to himself, ¡°Could it be the influence of the Cat King of the West on the puppets of the God of Death in the prison the previous time, has directly affected the very body of the God of Death? Even if that¡¯s the case, these changes are temporary, sooner orter Ivory will still have aeback, right? There¡¯s still a need to brush up skills and upgrade further.¡±

    Zhao Yao was then reminded, ¡± I don¡¯t think they will give up so easily, you should still be extra careful.¡±

    ¡°We will definitely be careful.¡± Uncle Ho sighed and said while he frowned, ¡°Being careful might not help, the God of Death is too powerful, and the apostles he has gathered under him should not be underestimated too. We are lucky they have backed down, but to solve this issue entirely, and not cause a hugemotion, ... it¡¯s difficult.¡±

    As he talks, Uncle Ho nced at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, please do not those guys. Even though they have brought down their power during this period, they did not suffer any loss of strength, so you have to be extra careful too.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought to himself that he had sent his family back to the Cat Ind, and waved his hand, ¡°Got it.¡±

    Uncle Ho was worried Zhao Yao have no idea of how powerful the person he was dealing with was, and tried to convince him, ¡°Don¡¯t be frustrated, I know¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded, and thought to himself, ¡± I have already sent back Mum and Dad, why wouldn¡¯t Zhao Yao meet me?¡±

    This whole period Zhao Yao had looked for Zhao Xue multiple times, but the other party did not reply to his WeChat or messages. Zhao Xue only replied to his QQ, which almost made Zhao Yao specte that Zhao Xue was kidnapped.

    But Zhao Xue can clearly articte Zhao Yao¡¯s little secret in the past, which allows Zhao Yao to easily confirm that he is indeed Zhao Xue.

    As he paused his train of thoughts, Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t resist to whip out his phone again, to send a message to Zhao Xue on QQ.

    ¡°Where did you go? I have something to talk to you about, when will you be back?¡±

    In a forest on Cat Ind, a snow-white silhouette of a female was in hiding.

    It was a girl who was not clothed, and what was unique was that she had a pair of furry cat ears on her body and a long and thick furry tail that swished from side to side.

    Zhao Xue looked at the end of the tail vertebrae and that huge furry tail with annoyance.

    ¡°Damn, I just can¡¯t get rid off these ears and tail, and it¡¯s still...¡±

    The next moment, her body kept shrinking, changing its form and growing fur, eventually, she turned into a snow-white kitten with squeaking noisesing out from her mouth.

    ¡°Damn, now every time I turn into a human form, it can onlyst for a minute or less, and it takes a few hours of rest before any form of transformation can take ce again.¡± Zhao Xue shook her tail furiously and thought to herself, ¡°Perhaps, with the growth of my cat body, the period of time I can transform gets longer too. Do I really have to wait till I grow into an adult cat?¡±

    Recently, she had been constantly attempting to transform into human form. Although she seeded, the result was unsatisfactory and the time frame was too short. The only fortunate thing was that after she turned into human form, the physical fitness that she had previously trained remained.

    Just as Zhao Xue wasining, the kitten¡¯s body started to make growling sounds from the stomach again.

    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s hungry again, this body really gets hungry easily now.¡± Zhao Xue walked over to pick up the mobile phone and nned to go back to her parents¡¯ house on Cat Ind for some food.

    Although she transformed into a cat, Zhao Xue¡¯s original form was a matter of fact a human, as a result, many of the habits of cats came unnaturally to her.

    After meeting her parents on Cat Ind, she used her identity as a kitten to blend back to her parents, this way she could continue to use all kinds of human things.

    In any case, Zhao Yao had already helped his parents installed water electricity and sewer pipes, and the various items didn¡¯t differ much in terms of usage.

    As for the ce where the cats of the extradimensional belly tend to gather, she was very unustomed to it. Especially when ites to the cat toilet, which she thought was too dirty.

    Therefore, she basically lived with Father Zhao and Mother Zhao this whole time and refrained from interaction with the other cats.

    After looking at her phone, Zhao Xue realized that Zhao Yao and his ssmates had sent her QQ messages.

    Taking a nce at Zhao Yao¡¯s notice, she was reminded of what Zhao Yao did thest time. Zhao Xue gritted and replied, ¡°Don¡¯t need you to bother.¡±

    Then she continued to look at the notice from her ssmates. Zhao Xue centered her attention.

    It said that recently there were several foreigners in the school who asked about her news.

    ¡°Were they the group that turned me into a cat? They indeed found their way here? But I am hiding on the Cat Ind, they can¡¯t find me here.¡±

    After replying the message, Zhao Xue picked up the mobile phone and walked toward her parents¡¯ house.

    As soon as she walked into the house, Mother Zhao looked at the kitten and said, ¡°Mimi, you are back? You are so smart,ing back knowing that it¡¯s dinner time?¡±

    Zhao Dad grinned and said, ¡°What are you saying to a cat.¡±

    Zhao Ma replied disdainfully, ¡°What do you know, have you forgotten what your son said, all the cats on this ind understand the humannguage.¡± As she said, she waved at the kitten, ¡°Mimi,e over. Look at the little cream cake I bought for you. It¡¯s just right for you to eat.¡±

    Zhao Dad grinned, ¡°I will go catch a fish.¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you just went catching this morning, why would you want to go catching again at night?¡±

    ¡°What do you know, this is called night fishing. I promised my friends by the water, I will broadcast for them tonight, and I didn¡¯t say anything about you squandering money.¡±

    Mother Zhao burst instantly, ¡°How am I squandering money? Which of the things I bought at home are useless? They are all things that we needed.¡±

    Zhao Xue wasn¡¯t paying attention to what her parents were saying, but she knew that her parents were people who preferred to stay home. During this period of time where she lived right at the beach and the sea, had been quite joyful, especially after Zhao Yao said that he would build them an Iron Man-like sea view vi which makes it even better.

    With the money given by Zhao Yao, Mother Zhao had taken a liking for online shopping. After all, she was not short of money. Without taking an extra nce at prices, she will buy it as long as she likes it. And every time she shops online, all she has to do is fill in the address of the Cat Cafe, and Zhao Yao will help to bring them over.

    Just when Zhao Xue was focused on dealing with the cream cake, she heard a voice that she detested.

    ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this Zhao Xue? So you ordered the cream cake for her.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s head stretched out from behind the wall.

    As Zhao Xue looked at Zhao Yao in front of her, she immediately furrowed her brows, then lowered her head to finish up the cream cake hurriedly.

    Zhao Yao had just sent the cream cake for kittens that arrived in the store to Mother Zhao. Mother Zhao scolded, ¡°What nonsense are you saying, why are you giving the cat your sister¡¯s name.¡±

    ¡°Nothing, Zhao Xue knows me, I was the one who rescued her.¡± Zhao Yao grabbed Zhao Xue¡¯s bowl with one hand and said, ¡°Mom, you can¡¯t feed the cat like this. You have to train her more, otherwise, she would really think that cat food simply falls from the sky.¡±

    Zhao Yao took the cat bowl, looked at Zhao Xue and said, ¡°Zhao Xue, stand up and pray, pray and I¡¯ll let you have this.¡±

    Zhao Xue looked at Zhao Yao who was in front of her and revealed her razor-sharp teeth subconsciously. She really wanted to give him a bite.

    Mother Zhao said, ¡°Is such training useful? I doubt she understands.¡±

    ¡°She should be a supercat, she would understand it.¡± Zhao Yao shook the cream cake in the bowl and said, ¡°You want to eat this? If you want to eat, then stand up and pray.¡± By doing that, apart from training the cat, it was also an opportunity to test the personality and ability of this supercat.

    After all, mom and dad will be raising this supercat, so Zhao Yao naturally needs to be aware of the situation of this cat as a safety precaution.

    ¡°Zhao Yao! You remember this!¡± Zhao Xue gritted her teeth, feeling the hunger in her stomach. After a second of hesitation, she eventually endured the humiliation, stood on her hind legs, ced her front legs forward, and made a praying gesture.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Good girl.¡± He then ced the bowl in front of Zhao Xue, touched her head and said, ¡°You are such a good girl,e, show me your belly.¡±

    Zhao Xue raised her brows, ¡°Zhao Yao, don¡¯t be too much.¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately reached for the kitten¡¯s stomach, and the anxious kitten had to bit Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s thought to himself, ¡°Only biting me? Not using your superpowers? Or are superpowers not suitable for such an attack?¡± Zhao Yao immediately patted the head of the little at and said, ¡°You can¡¯t bite people, understand?¡±

    As he said, he grabbed the kitten with one hand and turned the cat over in arrogance, ¡°Let me touch your belly, what¡¯s the big deal, and remember not to bite people in the future when they touch you, you got it?¡±

    The kitten was pushed to the ground, she made distressed sounds, and seemed as though she was on the verge of tearing.

    Mother Zhao said, ¡°Don¡¯t touch anymore, look, Mimi is crying already.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°It¡¯s always like that at the beginning. She¡¯ll get used to it. She will even like us touching her in the future. But if we keep giving in to her, it won¡¯t be as easy to control her when she is older. Especially since she is likely to be a supercat, it¡¯s even more important to discipline her starting from an early age.¡±

    After he¡¯s done touching her belly, Zhao Yao patted the kitten¡¯s butt and said, ¡°Alright, go eat now.¡±

    The little cat made squeaky noises and ran to the bowl. She converted her grievances into strength and started to eat her food in big mouthfuls.

    After he was done disciplining the kitten, Zhao Yao nned to y someputer games when his phone suddenly rang.

    ¡°Oh? It¡¯s Hanako?¡± Zhao Yao furrowed his brows, ¡°This isn¡¯t a long-distance call, is it?¡± Watching the phone ring non-stop, Zhao Yao eventually answered the phone.

    ¡°Hello, is this Zhao Yao Kun?¡±

    Upon hearing Hanako¡¯s voice, Zhao Yao dug his nose and said, ¡°Hanako, you called to pay money?¡±

    Hanakoughed a little and said in a clear voice, ¡°Oh, Zhao Yao Kun still enjoys joking so much. I have just asked someone to pay you the five thousand dors. There are other things to talk about now.¡±

    ¡°Oh? What is it?¡±

    Hanako said with some excitement, ¡°Zhao Yao Kun, can youe over to Japan? Just take it as a vacation, the current season now is just when the cherry blossoms bloom.¡±

    ¡°Sakura? Aren¡¯t there Sakuras at Jiang River too?¡± Zhao Yao said nonchntly, ¡°And you know that I am very busy over here. The business is growing and growing. It might even be listed in a few years. How do I find time to go out and travel?¡± ¡±

    ¡°Oh...¡± Hanako said, feeling slightly disappointed, ¡°I understand, but I will always wait for you in Tokyo, ready to pick Zhao Yao Kun up to y anytime.¡±

    As though he felt the sorrow in Hanako¡¯s tone, Zhao Yao frowned, and asked concernedly, ¡°Hey, are you okay? Did something went wrong at home?¡±

    Hanako was slightly stunned, and said with a smile immediately, ¡°Nothing, the situation at home is good, and I am doing very well.¡±

    Yet, Zhao Yao quickly changed his mind, ¡°Wait, if I go to Japan, then there will be so many Japanese people. There will full of humanoids with a lot of experience .¡±

    Thinking about the progress of helping Elizabeth to upgrade through gaining experience recently, Zhao Yao suddenly felt that it will be pretty good to make a solo trip to Japan.

    ¡°Hey, Hanako, if you are responsible for reimbursing the air tickets and hotel amodation for me, then I aming.¡±

    Hanako was surprised and replied, ¡°Of course, I will book the best hotel for Zhao Yao Kun.¡±

    The two then discussed the itinerary, and Hanako hung up the phone with a smile.

    At the moment, Hanako was sitting in a luxurious European-style room. Beside her, there was a pale-faced and cold-eyed foreign girl with short blue hair. The girl was wearing a maid costume and standing behind Hanako.

    Looking at the smile on Hanako¡¯s face, the maid frowned. ¡°Miss, is he that Zhao Yao?¡±

    Hanako nodded, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s a wretched, tricky, and vengeful guy, but he¡¯s also a good guy.¡±

    The maid was worried, ¡°Miss, do you like him?¡±

    ¡°How is that possible?¡± Hanako quickly exined herself, ¡°Sylvie, I only treat him as my savior, I have no other meaning.¡±

    The maid, known as Sylvie, nodded and said seriously, ¡°This is fine, Miss, you should know by now that you can¡¯t like others.¡± She looked at Hanako with a serious tone, ¡°The nine homes have no turning back, if you really like this man, you will only hurt him.¡±

    Hanako nodded bitterly, ¡°I understand, Sylvie, I understand. We grew up together, I will not lie to you.¡±

    Looking at the look on Hanako¡¯s face, Sylvie also showed regret in her eyes. She tried to change the subject and asked, ¡°Miss, is China fun?¡±

    With the mention of China, there was a smile across Hanako¡¯s face again. The conversation picked up again, ¡°It¡¯s very interesting. Unlike in this country, it has been so depressing living in this family. People there can live more freely there. It often feels as though everyone there is livelier and more energetic.¡±

    ...

    On the other side, after Zhao Yao and the Hanako agreed on a trip to Japan, they opened theputer delightedly and began to search for travel guides.

    ¡°Oh, yes, need to inform Xiao Shiyu and Baiquan too.¡±

    Zhao Yao opened up WeChat on his mobile phone, added the two into a new chat group, and said, ¡°Your boss will be on vacation in a few days and travel to Japan. The store will have to depend on both of you.¡±

    Xiao Shiyu sent out an annoyed emoji, ¡°It¡¯s too irresponsible. Which boss will go on a vacation alone, I want a vacation too! I want to travel too!¡±

    Baiquan sent out an excited emoji, ¡°Boss, are you going to Japan? How long? Where are you going?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Going to Tokyo, it has not been fixed as to how long I will be staying there.¡±

    After replying, Zhao Yao felt a streak of darkness in front of him. Baiquan who was cleaning in the extradimensional belly, wearing an apron, and holding onto a broom walked to Zhao Yao.

    Baiquan had been able to train his body these days using the power of the Sphynx cat over the past few months. His physical fitness had even been simr to that of Butcher. And because of the upgrade of the Sphynx cat, his bones, blood, heart, and even insights are stronger than the old Butcher, with a 6*0.5% super-immunity.

    His current body is also not as overbearing as that of Butcher, perhaps because of the added points by the Sphynx cat. At this moment, Baiquan has a well-bnced figure. When he takes off his clothes, you can see his clearly-defined and huge muscles.

    Looking at Baiquan in front of him, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes narrowed, and he touched his abdominal muscles subconsciously. His thought to himself, ¡°This guy has a better body than me now.¡±

    Baiquan clenched his fists in both hands and said excitedly, ¡°Boss, take me to Japan. I have long wanted to go to Japan.¡±

    Zhao Yao touched his chin and thought, ¡°In terms of your Secondary 2 degree, you should have watched a fair amount of anime. It is no surprise you want to go to Japan.¡±

    Just when Zhao Yao was thinking about it, Baiquan actively said, ¡°Boss, I know Japanese, bring me with you, I can do the trantion for you.¡±

    Zhao Yao was suspicious, ¡°You even speak Japanese? Is it only along the lines of Yamei Butterfly, Kimochi...¡±

    ¡°Of course not.¡± Baiquan said, ¡°I have no problem chatting with Japanese people on the Inte.¡±

    Zhao Yao was shocked, ¡°You actually learned new skills secretly? When was that!¡±

    Baiquan exined, ¡°After the broadcast every day when I find that it is still early, I will find something to learn.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Baiquan in shock, and subconsciously narrowed his eyes, ¡°What a ring light from the overachiever.¡± He said to himself, ¡®Damn, I am always ying games and watching anime at that time, and I¡¯m actually unconsciously surpassed by Baiquan in this aspect. ¡±

    On the other hand, Baiquan continued, ¡°So take me over Boss, with a Japanese-speakingpanion traveling with you in Japan, isn¡¯t it so much more convenient?¡±

    ¡°Alright, I know.¡± Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and said, ¡°I¡¯ll take you there.¡±

    ¡°Great. Boss, have you booked the ne and hotel? Is the traveling strategy done?¡±

    ¡°Hanako has already booked the hotel for us.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°Aren¡¯t I already settling the other things? If you didn¡¯te to bother me, I would¡¯ve been done by now. Anyway, since you speak Japanese, you can get it done.¡±

    The members of the Special Higher Police raised their handguns, pointing them in the direction of Zhao Yao and the four rogue apostles behind him.

    There might be an unbelievable myriad of superpowers in the world, but most of them were still no match for the steely destruction of bullets. This was why the gun was the preferred weapon for the organization.

    Zhao Yao knew he had to act quickly to disarm them.

    His first response was to shout, ¡°Stop.¡±

    Hismand of the Koreannguage was essentially non-existent, so he spoke to them in English instead.

    ¡°I am your friend,¡± he continued firmly, ¡°I am Captain Korea.¡±

    He knew that these words alone would not make them drop their weapons. This was why he activated Fish Ball while he was speaking. In an instant, ring light poured from every pore of the cat¡¯s body, painfully blinding the men on the scene.

    Amid cries of agony, Zhao Yao walked calmly towards one of the rogue apostles. He patted the man on the shoulder and said, ¡°Hello, may I help you?¡±

    The apostle was named Shuichi Kotori. He was surprised that Zhao Yao had approached him.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, what did you say?¡± he asked.

    Zhao Yao repeated himself.

    This time, Shuichi understood him perfectly. His eyes widened in surprise as he started rambling in Japanese-ented English. Unfortunately, Zhao Yao could not understand his heavy ent at all.

    He looked up longingly at the golden exmation mark above Shuichi¡¯s head and sighed in exasperation.

    ¡°I can¡¯t believenguage will stand in the way of what could be a great rtionship between two countries.¡±

    This thought had barely crossed his mind when his eyes lit up.

    He had an idea.

    Without hesitation, he opened his mouth and spat out Old Cat.

    ¡°Can you speak Japanese?¡± he asked the cat.

    ¡°Yes,¡± was the reply.

    ¡°Good. I need you to be my trantor,¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°This time, I¡¯ll allow you to say a maximum of three words at one go. This means you can trante three words into Japanese at any one time.¡±

    In the next moment, a nervous-looking Shuichi heard a voice speaking to him in fluent Japanese.

    ¡°Do you need...¡±

    Shuichi waited with bated breath for the voice toplete the sentence. The wait took terribly long, but it came to an end eventually.

    ¡°...help?¡±

    Shuichi nodded violently. He began rambling rapidly in Japanese, ¡°I am Shuichi Kotori from the Pine Needle Group. The Special Higher Police had gone back on their word and is now trying to capture us. Please help us! We will be eternally grateful!¡±

    Old Cat looked at Zhao Yao, ¡°Please save them.¡±

    ¡°Okay,¡± Zhao Yao responded.

    Sidequest: Save the Pine Needle Group

    Objective: Save the four apostles from the Pine Needle Group and take them somewhere safe

    Reward: 100 experience points

    Punishment: None

    He let out a jovialugh when he read the details of the mission. He extended the deflective field to cover Shuichi and his buddies, then grabbed them and darted far away.

    The blinding light was finally gone following his departure. The men of the Higher Special Police began to regain their sight gradually.

    Katsuhira Hattori was livid when he realized that their mysterious guests had all but disappeared.

    He mmed his hands on the table and shouted, ¡°What happened? The apostles have been rescued? Do you know what the hell you are doing?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, sir. The opponent had some kind of superpower that generated blinding light. We couldn¡¯t open our eyes at all.¡±

    ¡°Then get your hands on a pair of sunsses and go after them!¡± Katsuhira shouted.

    He was beginning to grow nervous. He thought, ¡°I can¡¯t let those Pine Needle guys get away. If word gets out about us breaking the pact, it¡¯ll be a lot of trouble.¡±

    Unfortunately, his n was not going to work. This had been a night mission, so none of his men had thought to bring along a pair of sunsses.

    Just as the men¡¯s eyes were getting used to the surroundings, a shadow bolted past them. All they could make out was Kim Jong-Un¡¯s smiling face before another beam of bright light pierced through the darkness. It was as if the sun had risen directly before them.

    ¡°Ah!¡±

    The men reached up to shield their eyes from the cutting re, crying in pain. In the midst of it all, Zhao Yao skipped happily to one of the officers and patted him on the shoulders.

    Then, Old Cat spoke, ¡°Do you need...¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡±

    The officer was about to die from the suspense of the iplete sentence when Old Cat continued with, ¡°...help?¡±

    These words were so unexpected that the officer was rendered speechless for a moment.

    When he could speak, he said, ¡°Can you see? Help me up, hurry.¡±

    Sidequest: Help me out

    Objective: Help the police officer to get back on his feet

    Reward: 10 experience points

    Punishment: None

    Fish Ball had made sure that Zhao Yao was never facing the light, so he could still see while everyone else was incapacitated.

    Zhao Yao raised his eyebrows at this new objective.

    ¡°Huh, something like this can be considered a mission?¡± he wondered.

    It was done in no time at all. Zhao Yao even had time to help a few other people up and clear more of such missions.

    Katsuhira Hattori¡¯s voice could be heard yelling through the mic, ¡°What the heck is going on down there? Is the opponent still around? Are you under siege?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know. Someone helped me up. Was that you, Yangci?¡±

    ¡°Not me. I was helped by someone too.¡±

    ¡°Ah, someone¡¯s pushed me. Ah, he¡¯s helped me up again.¡±

    ¡°Do not let him help you up. The person helping you is the enemy!¡±

    The men of the Special Higher Police wore the same, sullen expression. They were used to dealing with the garden-variety sh grenades in battle, but this was really something else. For starters, the light literally blinded. It did not sh or flicker, but was sustained for a substantial amount of time. The weirdest part was that the opponent was helping those who were disabled by the light.

    Themotion exchanged by his men was infuriating Katsuhira.

    ¡°Can someone tell me what on earth is going on?¡±

    Back on the scene, Zhao Yao hade to find that he could no longer milk the members of the Special Higher Police for experience points. He quickly knocked them out and grabbed one of the mics.

    This was why a stranger¡¯s voice was heard through Katsuhira¡¯s earpiece after a pregnant pause.

    ¡°Hello. Do you...¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Katsuhira wondered aloud.

    He waited for the stranger to continue speaking, but quickly grew impatient and asked, ¡°Hello? Who¡¯s this? What¡¯s going on? What¡¯s happened?¡±

    ¡°...need any help?¡±

    Katsuhira was momentarily stumped by the offer. He waited again for the voice to continue, but could not take the suspense.

    ¡°Help? With what?¡± he blurted, ¡°What do I need help with?¡±

    ¡°...Well, I am...¡±

    He quickly realized that the person was only just attempting to answer his very first question. He was exasperated by how odd and slow this whole conversation was, but he bit his tongue to keep from talking.

    ¡°...Captain South Korea.¡±

    By now, Katsuhira had concluded that the voice could only speak in short snippets at any one time. He used everyst ounce of willpower to stop himself from interrupting and asking more questions. He was afraid that if he did that, the mysterious person was going to answer unimportant questions and waste hours before he got to the important information.

    ¡°Do you need...¡±

    Katsuhira paced the room so that he could use all that nervous, pent-up energy. He had to be patient.

    ¡°...my help?¡±

    Even though the voice had finally finished what he wanted to say, Katsuhira Hattori still did not speak. He was trying to make sense of what was happening. It did not take long for him to deduce that the person he was talking to was probably the apostle who had attacked his men. He wanted to figure out what exactly this weirdo wanted.

    He was untimely ripped from his thoughts when themander vehicle he was began to shake violently. In the next moment, the roof of the vehicle was torn and tossed away like a mere candy wrapper. He gaped as a man wearing a mask popped into view.

    Then, a Samsung phone descended into the vehicle and hovered before him at eye level. A message written in Japanese shed on the screen. The text-to-speech function was activated.

    It seemed that Zhao Yao had had enough of how slowly Old Cat¡¯s conversations went. He decided thatmunicating with his phone would be a lot faster and a lot less painful.

    The robotic voice from the phone recited, ¡°I am Captain South Korea. I am here because of the friendship between Japan and South Korea. The person who had rescued the men from Pine Needle Group was Captain North Korea. Do you want me to get them back?

    If you refuse, I will beat you to death.¡±

    Bang !

    At once, the entire vehicle was crushed into smithereens. Only the areas that people stood on were left untouched.

    Katsuhira Hattori gulped nervously.

    Then, he bowed deeply and said, ¡°Please bring the four apostles from Pine Needle Group back to us. Please.¡±

    Katsuhira Hattori might be an apostle with an amazing superpower, but he would not survive on the frontline. He was far too used to being amander, not a fighter. Apart from ack of experience, he was also too much of a coward to be at the center ofbat.

    He excelled at one thing and one thing only ¨C leadingrge armies to bully the weak and helpless. He was not one to fight losing battles.

    This was why he put aside his rage and fear andplied to the wishes of the man in the mask. There was no denying the opponent¡¯s destructive capabilities. His life was at stake here and he was not going to do anything that might endanger it. Everything else was secondary.

    Zhao Yao grinned as he epted the new mission. He darted away with a swoosh, disappearing from view.

    Once he was out of sight, Katsuhira let out the breath he was holding. He clenched his fists and turned to his secretary, eyes zing with fury.

    ¡°Was that man speaking Arabic?¡± he asked.

    ¡°Erm, yes, I believe so,¡± the secretary replied subserviently.

    Katsuhira ripped the headset from his ears and smashed it to the floor.

    He shouted, ¡°Gather all the men and phone HQ immediately. Tell them what¡¯s happened and request backup.¡±

    ¡°Captain South Korea, I will capture him!¡± he announced through gritted teeth.

    He had barely assembled a dozen members of the Special Higher Police and called for backup when a sh shed through the sky.

    It was that weirdo again.

    Zhao Yao dumped Shuichi Kotori and his fellow apostles on the ground. Old Cat had typed a message on his phone and he used the text-to-speech function so it was read aloud.

    It said. ¡°Here are the men you¡¯re looking for. There¡¯s no need to thank me for my help. Just keep a close eye on them so Captain North Korea can¡¯t get his hands on them again.¡±

    Then, he vanished again with a swoosh, leaving Katsuhira with no time to react to what had happened.

    The men of the Higher Special Police looked at the Pine Needle Group apostles who were lying by their feet. They could not make sense of what was happening.

    ¡°Are there really two apostles?¡± Katsuhira wondered, ¡°One named Captain North Korea, who wants to save Shuichi Kotori, and another named Captain South Korea, who wants to help us?¡±

    Just as he thought that the situation could not get any weirder, the blinding white light had appeared again, robbing the men of their sight.

    This time, they were better prepared for the assault. The men quickly turned away from the source of the light, effectively avoiding its re.

    ¡°Be careful!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s back!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t face the light!¡±

    In response, Zhao Yao snapped his fingers, directly manipting the men¡¯s sight such that they could only see a sea of white, even if they turned away from Fish Ball.

    ¡°Fools,¡± he said, ¡°I am Captain South Korea¡¯s nemesis, Captain North Korea! I will rescue whoever he tries to capture!¡±

    He then turned to the Pine Needle apostles and asked, ¡°So, do you need my help?¡±

    Shuichi stared up at him dumbly,

    ¡°Fire at Shuichi Kotori! Do not let that man take them!¡± Katsuhira ordered.

    ¡°But what if we shoot the wrong person?¡±

    ¡°Just fire! Now!¡±

    Zhao Yao grunted with disdain. Then, he robbed all the men of their sense of touch.

    ¡°You have all been corrupted by the evils of capitalism,¡± he cried, ¡°You need to be reformed, starting with your hair.¡±

    With that, he instructed Ares to expand the deflective field to reach each individual person. He manipted the force tob everyone¡¯s hair back. Then, he chopped off their hair such that it stopped an inch above their ears. The men of the Special Higher Police now sported Kim Jong-un¡¯s Ambitious Cut, which had taken the North Korea hair scene by storm.

    ¡°Well, that looks alright,¡± Zhao Yao nodded satisfactorily, ¡°All young men should have this Ambitious Cut. Your hair is only the first step towards greatness. I hope that starting today, you will follow in the footsteps of the great leader that poprized this style.¡±

    With that, Zhao Yao grabbed the men from Pine Needle and darted away from the scene,ughing maniacally. All that was left was a mountain of hair.

    His departure meant that Fish Ball¡¯s horrific reign of light hade to an end as well. When the members of the Special Higher Police could finally see again, he was long gone. The only sight that greeted them was their awful new haircuts.

    They were miserable.

    ¡°He... He¡¯s a total nut job,¡± Katsuhira said, utterly defeated.

    He could not wrap his head around what the opponent¡¯s motive was. First, he would rescue the men he was trying to catch, then return them. Now, he was cutting off their hair for fun. Was this somehow entertaining for that psycho?

    Unfortunately for him and the rest of the Special Higher Police, Zhao Yao soon returned...

    Half an hourter, Katsuhira automatically tapped Shuichi Kotori¡¯s shoulder when a sh of light painted the skies. There was no emotion on his face when he said, ¡°Shuichi, Captain North Korea is back. It¡¯s time for you to go.¡±

    This time, however, the crazy Captain did not save the men of the Pine Needle Group. This was because there were no longer any exmation marks above their heads, which meant that there were no more missions.

    They had been milked of their worthpletely.

    Zhao Yao raised a hand and waved.

    ¡°Annyeonghaseyo,¡± he bade goodbye cheerily, then zoomed away in a jiffy, vanishing from sight.

    Almost immediately, a dozen ck saloon cars arrived at the dumpster, surrounding it.

    Katsuhira Hattori bellowed with rage as the men climbed out of their vehicles and rushed towards him. He pped the first person that reached him.

    ¡°Why are you sote?!¡± he demanded angrily, ¡°Do you know what you have caused us?¡±

    ¡°Mobilize every officer in the Tokyo Police Department. That psychopath better be brought before me in three days!!!¡±

    This might sound like a reasonable timeframe, but it was not going to work. Equipping himself with Supercat Armor 2.0 meant that Zhao Yao could unleash more than ten superpowers at any one time. Seizing him would be no walk in the park. Even attempting to locate him would be hard.

    This was how Zhao Yao easily evaded capture in the next couple of days. In the mornings and afternoons, he would be out gallivanting with Baiquan and Matsuo. When the sun set, hebed the city for missions. If he met members of the spirit army, he would milk them for all their worth. If he met members of the Special Higher Police, he would do the same.

    He was a formidable troublemaker on the loose, racking havoc wherever he went.

    In two night, he managed to earn a whopping 1,200 * 2 experience points.

    ¡°Wow, Tokyo sure is a great ce,¡± Zhao Yao sighed in contentment, ¡°In fact, I think I¡¯ll buy a piece of property here.¡±

    Baiquan looked at him in rm. ¡°Boss, when did you be so rich? Are you thinking of opening a maid cafe?¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head, ¡°Maid cafe? No way, it¡¯s too much trouble.¡±

    ¡°By the way,¡± he changed the topic abruptly, ¡°How¡¯s your new superpowering along?¡±

    Baiquan just smiled awkwardly in response. Cannon, who was in his arms, scrambled to answer the question.

    ¡°Baiquan must be the greatest virgin in history! The improvements he has made has been remarkable. He¡¯s definitely your match now, Zhao Yao!¡±

    Zhao Yao pursed his lips. The greatest virgin in history? That sounded very much more like an insult than apliment.

    The two men and supercat continued to bicker yfully and chat animatedly. Matsuo, however, did not join in or say a word. Their recent encounter with the spirit army was lodged firmly in his brain. He could not stop thinking or worrying about when they would strike next.

    Baiquan noticed this. He patted Matsuo on the shoulder firmly and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Boss will take care of them. It¡¯ll be fine.¡±

    Matsuo tried to smile back, but it was strained and never reached his eyes. He could not rx or quell the stifling anxiety.

    At that moment, a car stopped before them. Kuroko was in the driver¡¯s seat.

    Today was the day they were going to have lunch with Hanako.

 Chapter 537: Marriage of Convenience

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Katsuhira Hattori and Hanako walked side-by-side, chatting and smiling at each other. It looked very much like they were enjoying each other¡¯spany.

    ¡°Mr Katsuhira sure makes a great match with Ms Hanako,¡± Sylvie sighed.

    She was trailing behind the couple with Hideki Kujyo, Hanako¡¯s older brother.

    ¡°I would hope so,¡± he said stiffly.

    His distant demeanor did not deter her from continuing to speak.

    She added, ¡°I heard that Mr Katsuhira was epted into the University of Tokyo based entirely on his own merits. He even got a master¡¯s degree and PhD at UC Berkeley. Not only is he super smart, his manners are just impable as well. I guess that¡¯s what happens when you¡¯re raised as a Hattori. I¡¯ve heard nothing but great things about how kind, humble, and gentle he is. What a gentleman. He¡¯s been quickly climbing up the ranks in the Special Higher Police for the past couple of years too. He would make Ms Hanako the happiest woman in the world.¡±

    There was more that Sylvie wanted to say, but she thought better of it. This marriage was not only between Hanako and Katsuhira. It would be a union between the Hattori and Kujyo families. With it, the Kujyo family would have the backing of the Special Higher Police, which held more power today than ever before.

    It would be the dawn of a new era.

    Hideki did not respond to Sylvie this time. Instead, he nodded silently, his eyelids drooping as if out of shame.

    A whileter, Hanako climbed into the car that would take her to a lunch appointment with a friend.

    Katsuhira sent her one final smile and a wave as the car drove away. Then, he made his way towards Hideki.

    ¡°Hideki, my friend, it¡¯s been too long,¡± he greeted cheerily, ¡°Look at you! You¡¯ve be the head of the Kujyo family while I¡¯m still making my rounds as a cop.¡±

    Hideki smiled and nodded curtly. ¡°You are too humble, Katsuhira. As themander of the Special Police Force, you are doing far greater things than I am.¡±

    While he was speaking, his eyes could not help but creep up to Hideki¡¯s hair.

    ¡°Your hairstyle..,¡± he started.

    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s nothing. It was just a spur-of-the-moment thing,¡± Katsuhira interrupted quickly.

    ¡°It is very reminiscent of a certain dictator¡¯s.¡±

    Katushira was too embarrassed to respond. Hideki quickly led him into the house, where he steered the conversation far away from the new haircut. It did not take long for the awkwardness to melt away and for the men to start chatting like old buddies.

    As they spoke, Katsuhira Hittori could not help but throw nces in Sylvie¡¯s way.

    This went on for a few minutes before Hideki asked her to leave the room.

    Then, he turned to Katsuhira and spoke seriously, ¡°Did the superintendent send you here for a specific reason?¡±

    The superintendent he was referring to was Katsuhira¡¯s father, the head of the Special Police Force. In a society as traditional as Japan¡¯s, a person¡¯s family background basically determined his social ranking.

    Katsuhira¡¯s reply was calm. ¡°Yes, he did want me to discuss something to you. Now that Hanako and I are getting married, our families are joined as one. My father hopes that this union could be even closer. You know how it is ¨C ten intertwined fingers are stronger than a pinky swear.¡±

    He went on toy down the terms that his father had set. Hideki grew visibly pale as he listened intently to his future brother-inw¡¯s words.

    It seemed that the Hittoris had a far bigger appetite than he had anticipated. They knew that the Kujyos desperately needed them and they intended to take full advantage of that. They wanted to take more than half of the Kujyos¡¯ financial and political resources.

    Katsuhira shook his head with a chuckle when he noticed that Hideki had be ashen-faced.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to be quite so nervous, Hideki,¡± he said condescendingly, ¡°All we want is tobine our families¡¯ resources and influence. I know it¡¯s a lot to take in right now, but in no time, you¡¯ll see how this arrangement will elerate our expansion and grow our power.

    This will not just benefit my family. This is for the glory of both the Hittoris and the Kujyos. You¡¯ve got to set your sights further, my friend.¡±

    Hideki¡¯s lips pressed into a tight smile.

    ¡°Yes, I understand,¡± he nodded.

    ¡°Wonderful. I¡¯m d you do,¡± Katsuhira said bracingly.

    He then changed the topic with feigned casualness.

    ¡°Oh, that maid who was here just now,¡± he started, ¡°That was Sylvie, wasn¡¯t it? Hanako told me that the two of them grew up together?¡±

    ¡°That is correct,¡± Hideki responded, ¡°Sylvie might be the help, but she and Hanako are as close as sisters.¡±

    Katsuhira¡¯s face broke into a grin. ¡°It would be terrible to separate them, wouldn¡¯t it? I think Sylvie should stay with us when Hanako and I marry.¡±

    Hideki blinked in surprise. However, he quickly understood the true intention behind this suggestion when he saw Katsuhira¡¯s lewd smile. He hesitated for one moment before nodding. He said, ¡°That wouldn¡¯t be a problem. I¡¯ll let Sylvie know.¡±

    Katsuhira chuckled with satisfaction. He continued, ¡°I¡¯ve heard that Hanako¡¯s father had always ensured that she had a dozen maids taking care of her every need. You might as well send all of them to us when Sylviees. They can keep Hanakopany so she never gets lonely.¡±

    Hideki¡¯s reply was instant, ¡°Sure. Consider it done.¡±

    This was a request that he could easily agree to, unlike the one that demanded his family¡¯s resources to be shared.

    When Katsuhira Hattori bade Hideki goodbye, he was in good spirits. The Captain South Korea fiasco seemed all but forgotten for now.

    For Hideki Kujyo, however, this meeting was far from pleasant. He narrowed his eyes at Katsuhira¡¯s retreating figure. There was nothing meek orpliant about his demeanor anymore. Eerie lights were swirling in his eyes, illuminating them.

    ¡°Hehe... It sure seems like the Hattoris are already corrupted.¡±

    The lights that flickered in his eyes dimmed when he spun around to see Sylvie appear from behind the door. She had hidden there all along.

    Hideki took in her woeful expression. He asked, ¡°You heard everything?¡±

    Sylvie bowed in response.

    She said, ¡°Mr. Hideki, you have always been kind to me. Your father and Ms. Hanako have been as well. I will do anything for the Kujyo family. I will make any sacrifice.¡±

    When she raised her head, there was a fiery determination in her eyes. She trusted him and believed that he would make the right decisions that would herald a glorious future for the Kujyo dynasty.

    Hideki¡¯s expression was grave as he met her gaze.

    ¡°Thank you, Sylvie. I will never forget the sacrifice that you have made,¡± he said.

    Then, he bowed deeply, ¡°Please take care of Hanako.¡±

    With his face hidden from view, a shadow of a smile appeared on Hideki¡¯s lips.

    *

    Katsuhira Hattori left the Kujyo estate with a smug grin on his face. He could not believe that the mighty, century-old Kujyo dynasty was now at his beck and call. The authority that he held at the Special Higher Police made him impossible to refuse.

    His mood became even better when he thought about his adorable Hanako, the pristine Sylvie, and the dozen more maids that would be living with him in the future. He was practically whistling as he made his way to his car.

    Unfortunately, one phone call was all it took to ruin his day.

    The twelve missing members of the Special Higher Police had been found. They were stripped naked and abandoned somewhere in the countryside. This was but thetest of a series of embarrassing episodes for the department.

    ¡°Captain South Korea!¡± Katsuhira seethed through gritted teeth.

    The sudden appearance of this ridiculously powerful apostle infuriated him. He had made a fool out of the Special Higher Police, but they had no clue who he was or what country he was from. All they knew was that this oddball took up in the identities of Captain South Korea and Captain North Korea.

    Katsuhira yelled through the phone for more men to be sent after his nemesis, then hung up. He was being consumed with rage when an officer walked up next to him, a document file in hand.

    ¡°Sir, about Ms. Hanako¡¯s benefactor, we have obtained his personal information.¡±

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    ¡°Oh?¡±

    Katsuhira took the folder and flipped to the first page, where Zhao Yao¡¯s ID photo was affixed.

    The Kujyos could never have found information like this so quickly. After all, they did not have ess to the Japanese government¡¯s resources. Katsuhira did. He could tap on its globalworks to gather intel that had been collected by corporations and citizens, unwittingly and otherwise. It took no time to find out more about Hanako¡¯s mysterious benefactor.

    All of a sudden, Katsuhira¡¯s face, which was already gloomy because of the two Captain Koreas, becamepletely colorless.

    ¡°This Zhao Yao... When Hanako was in China, she lived with him for six months?¡±

    ¡°And they¡¯re about to have lunch together right now?¡±

    This information was like fuel that deepened the rage already coursing through his veins. He was practically shaking with fury.

    He mmed the folder shut, his mind whirring with cruel ns.

    These ns were not meant for Hanako. They were tailored for the Chinese man he was just reading about.

    Katsuhira let out a derisive snort ofughter. He fully intended to take out all his frustration about the Captain Koreas on this Chinese idiot.

    *

    Zhao Yao, Baiquan, and Matsuo were seated in a Japanese restaurant. It was an ordinary eating house that offered ordinary Japanese cuisine served with ordinary customer service.

    Cannon was boasting about how gifted Baiquan was to Zhao Yao. The man in question could only smile awkwardly.

    ¡°Hmm, Baiquan¡¯s pureness works perfectly with my powers. He is practically unassable now. No ordinary apostle would be able to touch him.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes in response, ¡°Please, he has always been unassable.¡±

    Cannon bared his teeth in anger. He retorted, ¡°Well, if not his defenses, my Sacred Virginity has raised his attack skills! Baiquan can now see any unchaste individual¡¯s weakness! He can use it to destroy anyone in seconds.

    This is my Mystic Eyes of Direct Death.¡±

    Zhao Yao pursed his lips. ¡°Well, that sure sounds awfully familiar. You could be sued by its original creator, you know.¡±

    ¡°It ispletely different from the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception!¡± Cannon protested angrily, referring to the legendary power in Type-Moon video games.

    ¡°If you remember the original¡¯s name so well, I highly doubt you weren¡¯t copying it,¡± Zhao Yao insisted.

    ¡°They arepletely different! My Mystic Eyes of Direct Death only allows its user to see an unchaste¡¯s weakness.¡±

    ¡°Then your version sucks,¡± Zhao Yao shrugged.

    Cannon leaped onto the table forcefully. He mmed both paws on the table top and shouted, ¡°My ability might have a small range, but it is still extremely powerful!¡±

    The furious cat then turned to Baiquan to seek support, ¡°Baiquan! Am! I! Right?!¡±

    Once again, Baiquan smiled awkwardly. ¡°Yeah, I guess so.¡±

    He spun to the side so that he could face the middle-aged man seated at the next table. His attention was immediately drawn to a tiny ck dot that was hovering near the man¡¯s crotch.

    This ck spot signified the person¡¯s weakness. He could see it now because of the Mystic Eyes.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes followed Baiquan¡¯s line of sight.

    ¡°Come on, this is bull,¡± heined, ¡°I don¡¯t need your Mystic Eyes of Direct Death to know that that area is his weakness.¡±

    Cannon ignored him and continued his exnation. ¡°The more unchaste the opponent is, the more weakness would be exposed for Baiquan to see! This means that he can easily defeat a person with a long string of ex-lovers and an expansive sexual history.¡±

    Baiquan pursed his lips as he focused his attention on another customer in the restaurant. This time, it was a high school student who had on a full face of make-up. She had a ck spot hovering over herher regions as well. However, hers was farrger than the one on the middle-aged man. It was almost the size of a football.

    Zhao Yao was squinting at Cannon in disbelief by now.

    ¡°Okay. ording to you, the more unchaste a person is, the more weakness Baiquan can see. I still don¡¯t get how that is of any use,¡± he said.

    ¡°The more weakness is unveiled, the bigger the target!¡± Cannon eximed, ¡°With his Mystic Eyes, Baiquan knows exactly which spot to unleash his power onto. The bigger the spot, the easier it is for him to aim.¡±

    Zhao Yao could not help but roll his eyes. The more Cannon tried to rify himself, the more ridiculous his power sounded. At this point, Zhao Yao had no qualms that the cat was just a hateful, involuntary virgin, not the owner of some Sacred Virginity nonsense.

    Baiquan¡¯s eyes eventuallynded underneath their table, where he spotted a ck basketball.

    ¡°What¡¯s this ball doing here?¡±

    He reached for it. When his fingers grazed the ball, a loud meow pierced through the air. Cannon copsed onto the ground, his paws pressing against his private parts.

    ¡°Make him stop!¡± he said feebly, ¡°Don¡¯t let him touch me when his Mystic Eyes are activated!¡±

    Baiquan retracted his palm instantly. It turned out that what he saw was not a ck basketball. Instead, it was a huge, ck dot that represented Cannon¡¯s weakness. Cannon was so impure that his dot was massive enough to cover his entire body.

    ¡°Sacred Virginity, my a**,¡± Zhao Yao cursed, ¡°You¡¯re no virgin. I bet your resolve must¡¯ve broken ages ago. Probably smashed it into pieces too, considering the size of your weakness. Just how many cats did you mess around with?¡±

    ¡°No! That¡¯s not what happened! I was forcibly corrupted by those who were threatened by my greatness,¡± Cannon snapped back, his voice still frail, ¡°Tell Baiquan that he should only switch on the Mystic Eyes in battle. In today¡¯s decaying, decadent world, he has so many targets that he might hit the wrong one.¡±

    Zhao Yao remained expressionless. ¡°I still don¡¯t buy it.¡±

    As the two of them continued to squabble, Baiquan startled noticeably.

    ¡°Why has the sky gone dark?¡± he asked, jumping onto his feet.

    He rubbed his eyes, then opened them again. ¡°Boss, are you seeing this?¡±

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyebrows in confusion. ¡°What are you talking about? It¡¯s bright and sunny out there.¡±

    While the two of them debated over this, a cry of pain echoed from the entrance of the restaurant.

    It was Katsuhira Hattori, who was pressing against his crotch. He had fallen to the floor, where he was shaking in agony. He looked close to death.

    ¡°It... It hurts! Good God!¡± he wailed.

    ¡°Huh? What¡¯s happening?¡± Baiquan asked, furrowing his eyebrows.

    He waved his hands before him blindly, inadvertently striking Katsuhira with great swells of energy.

    Katsuhira let out a final, blood-curdling scream before passing out.

    That was when a light bulb was turned on in Cannon¡¯s head.

    ¡°Ask him to turn off his Mystic Eyes!¡± he eximed.

    Zhao Yao passed the message and Baiquan did as he was told. Immediately, his vision came back.

    ¡°Huh? I can see again,¡± he said, surprised.

    He then tried activating the Mystic Eyes again and his vision was obscured once more.

    There was a brief pause before Zhao Yao, Baiquan, and Cannon all came to the same conclusion on what had happened.

    ¡°Jesus Christ, who is this guy you attacked? His weakness is massive enough to cover the entire, freakin¡¯ restaurant,¡± Zhao Yao scowled.

    Baiquan shook his head in response. ¡°I have no idea. I can see now when I switch on the Mystic Eyes though.¡±

    This was because Katsuhira Hattori had already been carted off to the hospital, now spewing foam from the mouth.

    Baiquan was perturbed. ¡°This is really disturbing. How can anyone be so...indecent?¡±

    Cannon, on the other hand, was unconcerned. ¡°This is nothing. Once, I was in Tokyo when I saw several dots merged together to form a supermassive one that was asrge as a dozen houses.¡±

    Zhao Yao scratched the bottom of his chin thoughtfully. ¡°Hmm, it seems like this power is not as worthless as I had thought. It can be very effective against certain opponents.¡±

    At that moment, the bell that hung on the restaurant¡¯s entrance chimed, and in walked Hanako. When she spotted Zhao Yao and the guys, she instantly headed towards them happily.

    ¡°Long time no see, Zhao Yao kun , Baiquan kun ! Have you guys been having fun?¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded vehemently in response.

    ¡°It¡¯s been nice. In fact, I think Tokyo is a great ce. I intend to buy a second home here so I can visit regrly.¡±

    To himself, he thought, ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt that the good citizens of Tokyo all seem to be in need of my help.¡±

    Hanako was pleasantly surprised by this.

    ¡°Are you serious?¡± she started, ¡°How much is your budget? I can help you with this. I have a couple friends in the property business.¡±

    The two of them began discussing this enthusiastically. When Zhao Yao revealed that he wasfortable spending a few billion dors on the new property, Hanako shot him a suspicious look.

    ¡°You seem to have struck it rich all of a sudden. How? Did you sell Lightning?¡± she used.

    ¡°What? Of course not!¡± Zhao Yao retorted, ¡°Lightning is having the time of his life with me. He¡¯s even fathered a dozen kids.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡±

    It was obvious that Hanako did not believe his words. To convince her, Zhao Yao opened his mouth and spat Lightning onto the restaurant table.

    The Pas¡¯s Cat appeared, but he was not alone. He was mounted behind a cat with long, white fur. Lightning froze when he took in the sudden change of environment, but he shrugged it off and began twitching his body. He made a few jerking motions before copsing onto the white cat, azy grin spread across his face.

    While he was perfectly happy not knowing what was going on, the white cat had descended into panic.

    ¡°Ah!¡± she screamed, ¡°Where are we? Zhao Yao! Send me back! Now!¡±

    Zhao Yao chuckled awkwardly, ¡°Of course. Come on, let¡¯s go.¡±

    Then, he opened his mouth. The white cat sprung into it instantly, returning to the extradimensional belly.

    Without his partner, Lightning found himself falling face first onto the restaurant table. He shifted so that he couldy on his back.

    ¡°What do you want this time, Zhao Yao?¡± he asked impatiently, picking his nose, ¡°What enemy did you meet this time that requires my assistance? You¡¯ve really got to learn to read the room. You can¡¯t just summon me when I¡¯m obviously busy.¡±

    ¡°Lightning!¡± Hanako scolded shrilly, pinching the top of his head, ¡°What was that?!¡±

    She then turned to re at Zhao Yao.

    ¡°You promised to take care of him! All you¡¯ve done is lead him astray!¡± she eximed.

    Zhao Yaoughed nervously. He exined, ¡°Oh, that¡¯s not true. What you just saw was a rarity. He isn¡¯t usually like this. I mean, just look at him. He¡¯s short and fat and it¡¯s not every day that a cat falls for him.¡±

    Hanako¡¯s hands shot up so she could cover Lightning¡¯s ears.

    ¡°Stop it, Zhao Yao! That¡¯s not true!¡± she cried, ¡°How can you say something so hurtful to Lightning? You¡¯ll put a dent on his self-esteem.¡±

    With that, she let go of the cat¡¯s ears and began stroking his head instead.

    ¡°Don¡¯t listen to that silly man, Lightning,¡± she said soothingly, ¡°You are, and will always be, the coolest and most handsome cat to me.¡±

    Baiquan, who had been watching them curiously throughout the exchange, was sorely tempted to open his Mystic Eyes of Direct Death so he could verify howrge Lightning¡¯s weakness was.

    Soon, the food came and the conversation continued. The joy of reunion lifted the atmosphere as the merry band of friends began to catch up with one another. Only Matsuo remained sullen-faced. He was terribly troubled by all that spirit army business.

    Hanako joined him in looking miserable when the boys asked her if she was returning to China.

    Zhao Yao and Baiquan exchanged nces.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you facing some kind of trouble?¡± Zhao Yao asked point-nk.

    Hanakoughed, but there was no joy in her voice. When she spoke, she did so gently.

    ¡°To be honest, I really like China. There¡¯s just something about the Chinese that¡¯s special. You have so much energy and enthusiasm and you¡¯re free to be exactly who you are. Unfortunately, I don¡¯t think I can return to China.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Zhao Yao wondered aloud, ¡°Weren¡¯t you pursuing your master¡¯s degree in China? You¡¯re not going to finish it?¡±

    Hanako nodded. ¡°That¡¯s correct. I¡¯ve already withdrawn from the university. The thing is...¡±

    She hesitated.

    ¡°I¡¯m getting married.¡±

    ¡°Ah!¡± Zhao Yao eximed.

    He quickly recovered from the initial surprise and looked at the space above Hanako¡¯s head.

    ¡°Damn. There¡¯s still no mission,¡± he thought to himself.

    He brushed his disappointment aside and tried digging for more information.

    ¡°Are you getting married of your free will?¡± he questioned, ¡°Did you family force you into this? Do you need my help? Let¡¯s be honest ¨C I doubt even the whole of Tokyo can take me down.¡±

    Baiquan nodded in agreement. ¡°Hanako, if you need help, all you have to do is ask. If you do not want to get married, we¡¯ll take you back to China with us.¡±

    A smile graced Hanako¡¯s lips at their words. She covered my mouth daintily as she began to giggle.

    ¡°Thank you for your concern. There¡¯s no need to worry. I¡¯ve thought through this carefully and I¡¯ve made my decision. There¡¯s no problem,¡± she exined.

    ¡°Really?¡± Zhao Yao asked, eyeing the top of her head again, ¡°You know there¡¯s no need to hide anything from us, right? Just say the word and we¡¯ll deal with it.¡±

    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s really fine,¡± Hanako responded, shaking her head with augh, ¡°The man I¡¯m marrying is capable and responsible. He¡¯s a good guy.¡±

    ¡°Is that so?¡± Zhao Yao retorted, sidling up to her.

    In a quiet voice, he said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to be shy about what you want. As long as you provide us with a little marypensation, we¡¯ll do anything for you. I can switch his sexual orientation around so he¡¯s no longer interested in women. In fact, I can turn him into a woman. I have a legion of professionals who can get all of that done. All changes are not harmful and can be reverted at any point in time.¡±

    As he rambled on, his eyes were firmlytched on the top of Hanako¡¯s head, longing for the appearance of the exmation mark.

    Unfortunately, it never showed up.

    Hanako smiled at him. ¡°Seriously, I¡¯m fine. You don¡¯t have to worry about me.¡±

    That was, of course, a lie.

    Hanako did not want to marry Katsuhira Hattori. However, she believed that resistance was futile. The Hattori and Kujyo families were like forces of nature that controlled everything, from politics tomerce. With the backing of the Special Higher Police and the Storm Organisation, no one dared defy them.

    They were like unbudging mountains that made Hanako feel as helpless as an ant.

    She did not doubt Zhao Yao at all, but there was just no way he could face off with Japan¡¯s most powerful. She was not going to allow him to get hurt for trying to help her.

    She gave him a good-natured smile.

    ¡°If you guys want to, you¡¯re wee to attend my wedding. I¡¯m sure you¡¯ve not been to a traditional Japanese ceremony?¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡±

    Zhao Yao moved away from her when he realized that there really was no mission here. He rxed against his chair and said, ¡°Anyway, just remember that if you ever need help, we¡¯re one call away.¡±

    *

    At the hospital, the condition that Katsuhira Hattori was in was a bit of a shock for the doctors on duty. They sent him for surgery immediately.

    An elderly man was seated outside the surgical ward. He wore the most severe expression on his face. Bodyguards dressed head-to-toe in ck surrounded him. Even with his eyes closed, authority radiated from him.

    Hideki Kujyo appeared at the end of the corridor. He hurried down the hallway and bowed deeply when he saw the elderly man.

    The man was Katsuhira Hattori¡¯s father, Aoyama Hattori, themissioner general of the Japanese police force.

    Aoyama Hattori spared a nce in Hideki¡¯s direction. He did not bother with pleasantries, diving straight into the issue at hand instead.

    ¡°The lower half of Katsuhira¡¯s body had been severely maimed. The doctor said he is lucky to have made it out alive. He might have kept his life, but he would never make aplete recovery.¡±

    Hideki was stunned by the news. When he heard that Katsuhira had been hospitalized, he never expected it to be for something so serious.

    Who in their right mind would attack the Katsuhira Hittori unprovoked? He had even targeted his private parts. Just how much animosityy between them?

    <h4>Chapter 540: Situation and Disturbance</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Kuroko only felt that her head was spinning, she opened her eyes and realized that she was still standing in the corner of the wall.

    ¡°What happened? I remembered I wanted to catch a cat earlier.¡±

    She raised her head and looked around her. She immediately found Zhao Yao and his party walking on the streets still, just that Cannon she initially wanted to catch was being cradled in Zhao Yao¡¯s arms.

    ¡°Eh? Was I too distracted?¡± Kuroko watched as the three of them walked further and further away. There was this nagging feeling that she had overlooked something. However, no matter how hard she tried to recall, she was unable to remember anything. She shook her head and treated this as a misconception.

    On the other hand, Zhao Yao carried Cannon, beamed at him and said amiably, ¡°Did you run in difficulties recently? Jilted? Or did you encounter a bottleneck at work? How are you getting along with your colleagues? Is your leader easy to get along?¡±

    Cannon looked at Zhao Yao with wariness, he had always felt that Zhao Yao harbored evil intentions. He pointed at Bai Quan who was at the side and said, ¡°Let him carry me.¡±

    Zhao Yao grabbed Cannon¡¯s head, red into his eyes and said, ¡°Cut the crap and spill everything you know about the information first.¡±

    Cannon had no choice, he could only truthfully recount the current situation in Tokyo.

    ¡°There¡¯s a supercat called MOMO. She is able to create a new spirit life by using a part of a person¡¯s soul. This life will possess part of the original owner¡¯s memory and powers such as flying, prating matter, telekinesis and so on.¡±

    Cannon sighed before continuing, ¡°It was all good initially. However, following the increasing number of spirits, the ¡®Spirits Army¡¯ power created by MOMO soon took over the current Tokyo. So much so that in terms of power, only the Special Higher Police (Tokk¨­), which is the most powerful and popr superpower organization, could suppress them among the whole of Japan.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded, indicating that he had understood. Due to historical reasons, Japan¡¯s most powerful intelligence organization was part of the police force. It was known as the police for public security and was responsible for national security and intelligence work. It had enormous rights, and thew enforcement process basically disassociated outside thew.

    Also, after the awakening of the supercats, the government organization that currently controlled the greatest number of supercats in Japan was the Special Higher Police of the public security police.

    This was the special reminder that Uncle Ho gave to Zhao Yao before leaving Jianghai.

    Cannon continued, ¡°However, the spirits created by MOMO were unafraid of death. Each possessed a fighting power far superior than ordinary people. Although Special Higher Police had strongerprehensive strength, their apostles and supercats never regenerate.

    MOMO was unable to defeat Special Higher Police and the Special Higher Police did not wish to suffer the heavy losses from the war. Therefore, both sides were mutually restrained, and no war had been started.¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and said, ¡°I see, but what about the other factions?¡±

    ¡°The Spirit Army and Special Higher Police are mutual opposites. Although there isn¡¯t a war, everyone knew that there had to be a battle between the two sides. Therefore, other superpower organizations regardless of officials, academic, research or finance whichever scope, have split into two powers to fight for and embody.

    The weaker ones might get subdued immediately whereas the stronger ones were recruited with massive perks. In addition, other countries have sent intelligence personnel and superpower organizations to Japan.¡±

    Cannon shook his head. ¡°The present Tokyo is practically a mess.¡±

    ¡°That messy?¡± Zhao Yao beganughing. The messier the situation, the better it was to him. This only meant even more missions and even more EXP, which was perfect to upgrade Elizabeth.

    ¡°What are you so happy!¡± Cannon said with resentment. ¡°Don¡¯t think you¡¯re powerful just because you wiped out a hundred spirits. That was just the cannon fodders within the cannon fodders of the Spirit Army. Now that you killed them, this would provoke MOMO and she would definitely chase you to the ends of the Earth.¡±

    While speaking, Cannon looked at Bai Quan who was by the side and said, ¡°Hurry up and ask your friend to ept my sacred virginity, only then would we have a chance to defeat the Spirit Army.¡±

    Side Quest: Please explode! My virgin powers!

    Mission Objective: Let Bai Quan control the application power of a virgin.

    Reward: 200 experience points

    Mission Penalty: None

    Matsuo, who was at the side, constantly looked dazed ever since he saw the Spirit Army. Bai Quan was the only one curiously watching Cannon and Zhao Yao chat. When he noticed Cannon looking at him, he asked, intrigued. ¡°Boss, what did he say?¡±

    Zhao Yao pondered for a while; this side quest was actually not bad, even though he looked down on Cannon¡¯s superpower. If he could restrain the abuse of this superpower and just treat him as a piece of equipment to use and not be addicted to it, then this sacred virginity superpower was considered very interesting.

    Furthermore, he could earn an additional 200*2 EXP value. Hence, Zhao finally decided to tell Bai Quan about Cannon¡¯s sacred virginity after thinking about it.

    ¡°That¡¯s the rough effect of this superpower. It¡¯s up to you to choose whether you¡¯re willing to ept it.¡±

    After hearing that, Bai Quan first looked at Zhao Yao strangely and asked, ¡°Boss, why did he choose me? If it¡¯s a virgin power, wouldn¡¯t your virgin power be stronger?¡±

    ¡°Bah! Bah!¡± Zhao Yao felt that he almost choked on his saliva. He looked at Bai Quan and said: ¡°Who told you that I¡¯m a virgin? I wasn¡¯t a virgin since junior high school. At this age, I have dated teachers, nurses, police officers, high school students, female idols and females from every trade. How is it possible to use that power?¡±

    Bai Quan nced at Zhao Yao in surprise. His expression was doubtful, but he nodded and said with interest, ¡°Boss, this power sounds quite interesting, let me try it.¡±

    Hence, Zhao Yao then handed Cannon over to Bai Quan and let him study this superpower slowly.

    After learning about the chaos in Tokyo, Zhao Yao had no mood to continue sightseeing. Not long after he returned to the hotel with hispanions, he carried Roly Poly and left the hotel unnoticed to not find amusement but a mission.

    Tokyo Skytree was Tokyo¡¯s tallest building.

    At this moment, Zhao Yao donned a ck robe and stood at the top of the sky tree which was more than 600 meters tall. A gale was blowing from his surroundings and his clothes pped in the wind.

    Looking at the bustling Tokyo nightscape beneath him, Zhao Yao grinned excitedly, ¡°It¡¯s finally my turn to go all out.¡±

    ¡°However...¡± Thinking about what Uncle Ho said, Zhao Yao expressed a face of agreement, ¡°I must not cause any inconvenience to the country, fortunately I¡¯m prepared.¡±

    A strong gale blew, sending Zhao Yao¡¯s ck robe high up into the sky.

    On the t-shirt he was wearing, it wrote ¡°I love Korea¡± in the front and had a portrait of Girls¡¯ Generation at the back. His left hand had the the left hand had a trigram tattooed while his right hand had the Taegeuk 1 tattooed. His pants had kimchi prints all over, and his mask was printed with Choi Sung-kook 2 ¡®s smile.

    He then pulled out a Samsung mobile phone and it showed his current read, <100 Commonly Spoken Korean Sentences>.

    <h4>Chapter 541: Supercat Armor 2.0</h4>

    Standing by the Skytree, Zhao Yao nced at his disguise with a sense of satisfactory. ¡°That should be enough.¡±

    Even though the camouge was all good, he needed some insurance when it came tobat strength. It was rare for Zhao Yao to visit foreignnds, so he decided on being more vignt and began to activate his Supercat armor.

    ¡°Activate Supercat Armor 2.0!¡±

    Seeing Zhao Yao¡¯s mouth wide open, Ares immediately dived out of his mouth, hugged his neck and rested on his shoulder. The invisible Deflective Field instantly surrounded Zhao Yao¡¯s whole body.

    F¨±jin then started spitting out waves of tsunami while Uncle Egg fired electrical waves in all directions. Both cats walked out together.

    Zhao Yao was painfully shocked from head to toe. He angrily questioned, ¡°Who gave you the permission to release your power whileing out? Can¡¯t you both be a little more low-key?¡±

    Uncle Egg surveyed its surrounding, lightly pursed its lip and thought to itself, ¡°Oh man, I thought there would be millions of spectators around. In the end, there¡¯s none.¡±

    Afterwards, Roly Poly hopped onto Zhao Yao¡¯s head while Matcha and Elizabeth clung onto Zhao Yao¡¯s left and right thighs. Dust Ball followed and hung onto Zhao Yao¡¯s chest.

    ¡°Hehe, next up, 2.0¡¯s newly enhanced army.¡± Zhao Yao revealed a confident smile. ¡°Activate Super-Dragoon Spinning Funnel!¡±

    Instantly, three ck figures were being spitted out of Zhao Yao¡¯s mouth. As the deflective field surrounded these figures, they started to revolve around Zhao Yao, just like three funnels.

    They were the warm hearted ¡®Mango¡¯, the little electrical motor ¡®Rice cake¡¯, and...

    ¡°Mm? Why are you here!¡± Zhao Yao looked at Fish Ball, who had curdled up, and frustratingly said, ¡°Didn¡¯t I ask Lightning, together with Mango and Rice Cake to wait?¡±

    ¡°I thought I was supposed to help Matcha with the bricks today?¡± Fish Ballughed awkwardly. ¡°In the end, Lighting got me to stand in for him as he wants to take a shit. This is Japan, right? How impressive you are, Zhao Yao. You managed toe all the way to Japan. You are much better than thatss Xiaoyu.¡±

    ¡°Who would want topare with a middle-school student!¡± Zhao Yao stared at Fish Ball in exasperation. ¡°Forget it, since you¡¯re already here. Just be more cautiouster.¡±

    Even though Fish Ball was a little useless, Zhao Yao still nodded with a sense of satisfactory as he looked at Mango, Rice Cake and Fish Ball, who were floating within the deflective field. The 3 cat warheads each represented control, output, and special effects. With the three fused as one, any battle they engaged in would have an output as fierce as a lion¡¯s.

    Rice Cake, who was by the side, discontentedly uttered, ¡°Zhao Yao, how long would your fooling around take! My brother is still waiting for me to y PUBG with him.¡±

    Zhao Yao hollered, ¡°I¡¯ve said so many times, I¡¯m not fooling around. The Supercat armor is used for battles, and the Super Dragoon Floating Funnel that all of you are part of, is a very important part of it and affects my output.¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes.¡± Rice Cake rolled its eyes. ¡°Then how long will you take? Or are you just writing nk checks?¡±

    Being trapped in the Deflective Field and revolving around Zhao Yao, Fish Ball¡¯s expression suddenly changed. ¡°Can we stop first, I¡¯m getting a little dizzy.¡±

    Everyone ignored him. Elizabeth and Rice Cake then hollered in unison, ¡°That¡¯s right, who doesn¡¯t pay after ying with cats.¡±

    All the other cats started chattering, while Matcha stood up immediately and said, ¡°What are you all talking about! Zhao Yao provides us with food, clothes, amodation and fun. Now, when he¡¯s just ying with you, you want him to pay up?¡± Are you all still cats? Do you not have one iota of conscience?¡±

    Matcha hugged Zhao Yao¡¯s thigh tightly and said cutely, ¡°Zhao Yao, y all you want. I¡¯m not going to ask you for money.¡±

    ¡°Alright Matcha. So d I wasn¡¯t wrong about you, you are indeed a good cat of mine.¡± Zhao Yao nced at the agitated cats once again, and said: ¡°Other than Matcha, the other cats will get 10 yuan per hour, enough?¡±

    Matcha: ¡°...¡±

    All the other cats began cheering as Zhao Yao also nodded his head while feeling satisfied. ¡°Damn, khorium is indeed the strongest. With a full body khorium suit, I don¡¯t think anyone here in Tokyo will be able to defeat me.¡±

    ¡°Wa!¡± Fish Ball threw up aggressively. Feeling his world spinning, he finally said, ¡°Please stop spinning, I¡¯m so dizzy.¡±

    There was nothing Zhao Yao could do, but to allow the Super-Dragoon Funnel to stop turning first. Once he stepped out, he whooshed down into the dark night of Tokyo.

    ...

    In the rubbish dump located somewhere in Tokyo.

    Sounds of swords or objects colliding with each other could be heard.

    There were four apostles running around the rubbish dump and they all looked nervous.

    ¡°Damn it, didn¡¯t we already agreed to join the Special Higher Police? Why are they still here trying to catch us?¡±

    ¡°Do you not understand? They want to make us palsy!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not running anymore, no matter how much we try, we will never escape from them.¡±

    Suddenly, many warriors, who were dressed in ck battle clothing, approached the 4 apostles from all directions. A few searchlights were also shone at them, making them totally surrounded.

    In themanding car, far away, a man who was folding his arms, calmly analyzed the current situation. ¡°Thest 4 apostles from the pine group are here right?¡±

    The adjutant who was by his side, nodded his head in agreement and replied, ¡°Yes, sir, the other criminals have been captured.¡±

    The adjutant looked at themanding officer cautiously. Themanding officer, Kappei Hattori, was the son of the Deputy Director of the police force. He held the greatest authority in the Special Higher Police and was also capable of determining the fates of many disciples. Just by standing beside him, one would instantly feel uneasy.

    Kappei Hattori nodded his head and smiled. Due to the recent threat from the Spirit Army, the Special Higher Police¡¯s authority had also changed ordingly. He took the opportunity and recruited numerous disciples from various super organizations, thus spending a huge sum of the people¡¯s money.

    Be it wealth or strength, the Hattori family was rising at an abnormally fast speed. The big families that used to rebel against them, could only conform to them now. This made the Hattori family felt an unusual pleasing sense of superiority.

    ¡°Based on the current international situation, the battle of the superpowers is getting even morepetitive. Anyone that possesses superpower, will have extraordinary privileges. One day, I will take over the whole Special Higher Police and by then...¡±

    All of a sudden, the adjutant pointed at the screen and eximed, ¡°Inspector Hattori, there¡¯s another wild apostle approaching.¡±

    Kappei Hattori calmly smiled and replied, ¡°Is he trying to save someone? He¡¯s definitely walking right into the trap.¡± Before he finished his sentence, he suddenly frowned. The opposite party was dressed in a weird manner, especially the mask on his face, which couldn¡¯t help but make Kappei Hattori... burst out intoughter.

    Now, it was the apostle¡¯s turn to act. He ced both hands in the air and slowly walked towards both of them, as though he was trying to stop the battle. He then shouted: ¡°Yoreubun! Annyeong Haseyo!¡± (Hello everyone)

    ¡°Kimchi-nen chuwahaeyo.¡± (I love to eat kimchi)

    Kappei Hattori was taken aback. ¡°What is he saying?¡±

    The adjutant by the side replied, ¡°Sounds like Arabic.¡±

    ¡°A spy from overseas?¡± Kappei Hattori concentrated, picked up the microphone and hollered, ¡°Fire straight away; capture all of them.¡±

 Chapter 542: Helping Each Other

    <h4>Chapter 542: Helping Each Other</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    The members of the Special Higher Police raised their handguns, pointing them in the direction of Zhao Yao and the four rogue apostles behind him.

    There might be an unbelievable myriad of superpowers in the world, but most of them were still no match for the steely destruction of bullets. This was why the gun was the preferred weapon for the organization.

    Zhao Yao knew he had to act quickly to disarm them.

    His first response was to shout, ¡°Stop.¡±

    Hismand of the Koreannguage was essentially non-existent, so he spoke to them in English instead.

    ¡°I am your friend,¡± he continued firmly, ¡°I am Captain Korea.¡±

    He knew that these words alone would not make them drop their weapons. This was why he activated Fish Ball while he was speaking. In an instant, ring light poured from every pore of the cat¡¯s body, painfully blinding the men on the scene.

    Amid cries of agony, Zhao Yao walked calmly towards one of the rogue apostles. He patted the man on the shoulder and said in English, ¡°Hello, may I help you?¡±

    The apostle was named Shuichi Kotori. He was surprised that Zhao Yao had approached him.

    Zhao Yao repeated again.

    Shuichi Kotori: ¡°¡Ñ¦Ø¡Ñ¡±

    This time, Shuichi understood him perfectly. His eyes widened in surprise as he started rambling in Japanese-ented English. Unfortunately, Zhao Yao could not understand his heavy ent at all.

    He looked up longingly at the golden exmation mark above Shuichi¡¯s head and sighed in exasperation.

    ¡°I can¡¯t believenguage will stand in the way of what could be a great rtionship between two countries.¡±

    This thought had barely crossed his mind when his eyes lit up.

    He had an idea.

    Without hesitation, he opened his mouth and spat out Old Cat.

    ¡°Can you speak Japanese?¡± he asked the cat.

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    ¡°Good. I need you to be my trantor,¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°This time, I¡¯ll allow you to say a maximum of three words at one go. This means you can trante three words into Japanese at any one time.¡±

    In the next moment, a nervous-looking Shuichi heard a voice speaking to him in fluent Japanese.

    ¡°Do you need...¡±

    Shuichi waited with bated breath for the voice toplete the sentence. The wait took terribly long, but it came to an end eventually. ¡°...help?¡±

    Shuichi nodded violently. He began rambling rapidly in Japanese, ¡°I am Shuichi Kotori from the Pine Needle Group. The Special Higher Police had gone back on their word and is now trying to capture us. Please help us! We will be eternally grateful!¡±

    Old Cat looked at Zhao Yao, ¡°Please save them.¡±

    ¡°Okay,¡± Zhao Yao responded.

    Sidequest: Save the Pine Needle Group

    Objective: Save the four apostles from the Pine Needle Group and take them somewhere safe

    Reward: 100 experience points

    Mission Penalty: None

    He let out a jovialugh when he read the details of the mission. He extended the deflective field to cover Shuichi and his buddies, then grabbed them and darted far away.

    The blinding light was finally gone following his departure. The men of the Special Higher Police began to regain their sight gradually.

    Kappei Hattori was livid when he realized that their mysterious guests had all but disappeared. He mmed his hands on the table and shouted, ¡°What happened? The apostles have been rescued? Do you know what the hell you are doing?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, sir. The opponent had some kind of superpower that generated blinding light. We couldn¡¯t open our eyes at all.¡±

    ¡°Then get your hands on a pair of sunsses and go after them!¡± Kappei shouted.

    He was beginning to grow nervous. He thought, ¡°I can¡¯t let those Pine Needle guys get away. If word gets out about us breaking the pact, it¡¯ll be a lot of trouble.¡±

    Unfortunately, his n was not going to work. This had been a night mission, so none of his men had thought to bring along a pair of sunsses.

    Just as the men¡¯s eyes were getting used to the surroundings, a shadow bolted past them. All they could make out was Kim Jong-Un¡¯s smiling face before another beam of bright light pierced through the darkness. It was as if the sun had risen directly before them.

    ¡°Oh.¡±

    The men reached up to shield their eyes from the cutting re, crying in pain. In the midst of it all, Zhao Yao skipped happily to one of the officers and patted him on the shoulders.

    Then, Old Cat spoke, ¡°Do you need...¡±

    The officer was about to die from the suspense of the iplete sentence when Old Cat continued with, ¡°...help?¡±

    Sidequest: Help me out

    Objective: Help the police officer to get back on his feet

    Reward: 10 experience points

    Mission Penalty: None

    Fish Ball had made sure that Zhao Yao was never facing the light, so he could still see while everyone else was incapacitated.

    Zhao Yao raised his eyebrows at this new objective.

    ¡°Huh, something like this can be considered a mission?¡± he wondered.

    It was done in no time at all. Zhao Yao even had time to help a few other people up and clear more of such missions.

    Kappei Hattori¡¯s voice could be heard yelling through the mic, ¡°What the heck is going on down there? Is the opponent still around? Are you under siege?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know. Someone helped me up. Was that you, Yoji?¡±

    ¡°Not me. I was helped by someone too.¡±

    ¡°Ah, someone pushed me. Ah, he¡¯s helped me up again.¡±

    ¡°Do not let him help you up. The person helping you is the enemy!¡±

    The men of the Special Higher Police wore the same, sullen expression. They were used to dealing with the garden-variety sh grenades in battle, but this was really something else. For starters, the light literally blinded. It did not sh or flicker, but was sustained for a substantial amount of time. The weirdest part was that the opponent was helping those who were disabled by the light.

    Themotion exchanged by his men was infuriating Kappei Hattori.

    ¡°Can someone tell me what on earth is going on?¡±

    Back on the scene, Zhao Yao hade to find that he could no longer milk the members of the Special Higher Police for experience points. He quickly knocked them out and grabbed one of the mics.

    This was why a stranger¡¯s voice was heard through Kappei¡¯s earpiece after a pregnant pause.

    ¡°Hello. Do you...¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Kappei Hattori wondered aloud.

    He waited for the stranger to continue speaking, but quickly grew impatient and asked, ¡°Hello? Who¡¯s this? What¡¯s going on? What¡¯s happened?¡±

    ¡°...need any help?¡±

    Kappei was momentarily stumped by the offer. He waited again for the voice to continue, but could not take the suspense.

    ¡°Help? With what?¡± he blurted, ¡°What do I need help with?¡±

    ¡°...Well, I am...¡±

    He quickly realized that the person was only just attempting to answer his very first question. He was exasperated by how odd and slow this whole conversation was, but he bit his tongue to keep from talking.

    ¡°...Captain South Korea.¡±

    By now, Kappei had concluded that the voice could only speak in short snippets at any one time. He used everyst ounce of willpower to stop himself from interrupting and asking more questions. He was afraid that if he did that, the mysterious person was going to answer unimportant questions and waste hours before he got to the important information.

    ¡°Do you need...¡±

    Kappei paced the room so that he could use all that nervous, pent-up energy. He had to be patient.

    ¡°...my help?¡±

    Even though the voice had finally finished what he wanted to say, Kappei Hattori still did not speak. He was trying to make sense of what was happening. It did not take long for him to deduce that the person he was talking to was probably the apostle who had attacked his men. He wanted to figure out what exactly this weirdo wanted.

    He was untimely ripped from his thoughts when themander vehicle he was began to shake violently. In the next moment, the roof of the vehicle was torn and tossed away like a mere candy wrapper. He gaped as a man wearing a mask popped into view.

    Then, a Samsung phone descended into the vehicle and hovered before him at eye level. A message written in Japanese shed on the screen. The text-to-speech function was activated.

    It seemed that Zhao Yao had had enough of how slowly Old Cat¡¯s conversations went. He decided thatmunicating with his phone would be a lot faster and a lot less painful.

    The robotic voice from the phone recited, ¡°I am Captain South Korea. I am here because of the friendship between Japan and South Korea. The person who had rescued the men from Pine Needle Group was Captain North Korea. Do you want me to get them back?

    If you refuse, I will beat you to death.¡±

    Bang!

    At once, the entire vehicle was crushed into smithereens. Only the areas that people stood on were left untouched.

    Kappei Hattori gulped nervously.

    Then, he bowed deeply and said, ¡°Please bring the four apostles from Pine Needle Group back to us. Please.¡±

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Kappei Hattori might be an apostle with an amazing superpower, but he would not survive on the frontline. He was far too used to being amander, not a fighter. Apart from ack of experience, he was also too much of a coward to be at the center ofbat.

    He excelled at one thing and one thing only¡ªleadingrge armies to bully the weak and helpless. He was not one to fight losing battles.

    This was why he put aside his rage and fear andplied to the wishes of the man in the mask. There was no denying the opponent¡¯s destructive capabilities. His life was at stake here and he was not going to do anything that might endanger it. Everything else was secondary.

    Zhao Yao grinned as he epted the new mission. He darted away with a swoosh, disappearing from view.

    Once he was out of sight, Kappei let out the breath he was holding. He clenched his fists and turned to his secretary, eyes zing with fury. ¡°Heh heh, what you heard was Arabic?¡±

    ¡°It really sounded like Arabic.¡±mented the adjutant in aggrievement.

    ¡°Erm, yes, I believe so,¡± the secretary replied subserviently.

    Kappei ripped the headset from his ears and smashed it to the floor.

    He shouted, ¡°Gather all the men and phone HQ immediately. Tell them what had happened and request backup.¡±

    ¡°Captain South Korea, I will capture him!¡± he announced through gritted teeth.

    Just as Kappei Hattori regrouped with a dozens of Special Higher Police members and waited for reinforcements, something came into his vision as the weirdo appeared once ago.

    Zhao Yao threw Shuichi Kotori and his fellow apostles onto the ground before Kappei Hattori. Old Cat had typed a message on his phone and he used the text-to-speech function which read out loud: ¡°Here are the men you¡¯re looking for. There¡¯s no need to thank me for my help. Just keep a close eye on them so Captain North Korea can¡¯t get his hands on them again.¡±

    Then, he vanished again with a swoosh, leaving Kappei with no time to react to what had happened.

    The men of the Special Higher Police looked at the Pine Needle Group apostles who wereying by their feet in confusion. They could not make sense of what was happening.

    ¡°Were there really two apostles just now?¡± Kappei wondered, ¡°One named Captain North Korea, who wants to save Shuichi Kotori, and another named Captain South Korea, who wants to help us?¡±

    Just as he thought that the situation could not get any weirder, the blinding white light had appeared again, robbing the men of their sight.

    This time, they were better prepared for the assault since their eyes were not focused on a particr direction. Therefore, many of the men had their backs or sides facing the source of the light when Fish Ball beamed down its beam.

    ¡°Be careful!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s back!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t face the light!¡±

    In response, Zhao Yao snapped his fingers, directly manipting the men¡¯s sight such that they could only see a sea of white, even if they turned away from Fish Ball.

    ¡°Foolish Japanese,¡± he said, ¡°I am Captain South Korea¡¯s nemesis, Captain North Korea! I will rescue whoever he tries to capture!¡±

    He then turned to the Shuichi Kotori andpany and asked, ¡°So, do you need my help?¡±

    Shuichi Kotori: ¡°¡Ñ¦Ø¡Ñ¡±

    ¡°Fire at Shuichi Kotori! Do not let that man take them!¡± Kappei ordered.

    ¡°But what if there¡¯s coteral damage?¡±

    ¡°Just fire! Now!¡±

    Zhao Yao grunted coldly. Then, he robbed all the men of their sense of touch.

    ¡°You have all been corrupted by the evils of capitalism,¡± he cried, ¡°You need to be reformed, starting with your hair.¡±

    As Elizabeth maintained the illusion, Ares received telepathic orders from Zhao Yao to expand the Deflective Field to reach each individual person.

    Instantly, he manipted the force tob everyone¡¯s hair back. Then, he chopped off their hair such that it stopped an inch above their ears. The men of the Special Higher Police now sported Kim Jong-un¡¯s Ambitious Cut, which had taken the North Korea hair scene by storm.

    ¡°Well, that looks good.¡± Zhao Yao nodded satisfactorily. ¡°All young men should have this Ambitious Cut. Your hair is only the first step towards greatness. I hope that starting today, you will follow in the footsteps of the great leader that poprized this style.¡±

    With that, Zhao Yao grabbed Shuichi Kotori andpany before leaving with a maniacalugh. All that was left was a mountain of hair.

    The light dispersed as the members of the Special Higher Police finally recovered their sense of vision. Zhao Yao had long vanished and when they looked at their new hairstyles, all of them wore disconste expressions.

    ¡°He... He¡¯s a total nut job,¡± Kappei said, utterly defeated.

    He could not wrap his head around what the opponent¡¯s motive was. First, he would rescue the men he was trying to catch, then return them. Now, he was cutting off their hair for fun. Was this somehow entertaining for that psycho?

    Unfortunately for him and the rest of the Special Higher Police, Zhao Yao soon returned...

    Half an hourter, Kappei automatically tapped Shuichi Kotori¡¯s shoulder when a sh of light painted the skies. There was no emotion on his face when he said, ¡°Shuichi, Captain North Korea is back. It¡¯s time for you to go.¡±

    This time, however, the crazy Captain did not take Shuichi Kotori away with him. This was because there were no longer any exmation marks above their heads, which meant that there were no more missions.

    They had been milked of their worthpletely.

    Therefore, Zhao Yao raised a hand and waved.

    ¡°Annyeonghaseyo,¡± he bade goodbye cheerily, then zoomed away in a jiffy, vanishing from sight.

    Almost immediately, a dozen ck saloon cars arrived at the dumpster, surrounding it.

    Kappei Hattori bellowed with rage as the men climbed out of their vehicles and rushed towards him. He pped the first person that reached him.

    ¡°Why are you sote?!¡± he demanded angrily, ¡°Do you know what you have caused us?¡±

    ¡°Mobilize every officer in the Tokyo Police Department. That psychopath better be brought before me in three days!!!¡±

    This might sound like a reasonable timeframe, but it was not going to work. Equipping himself with Supercat Armor 2.0 meant that Zhao Yao could unleash more than ten superpowers at any one time. Seizing him would be no walk in the park. Even attempting to locate him would be hard.

    As long as Zhao Yao did not permit it, it waspletely impossible for ordinary apostles to discover him, much less apprehend him.

    This was how Zhao Yao easily evaded capture in the next couple of days. In the mornings and afternoons, he would be out gallivanting with Bai Quan and Matsuo. When the sun set, hebed the city for missions. If he met members of the Spirit Army, he would milk them for all their worth. If he met members of the Special Higher Police, he would do the same.

    He was a formidable troublemaker on the loose, wreaking havoc wherever he went in Tokyo.

    In just two short nights, he managed to earn a whopping 1,200 * 2 experience points. It made Zhao Yao love Tokyo even more.

    ¡°Wow, Tokyo sure is a great ce,¡± Zhao Yao sighed in contentment, ¡°In fact, I think I¡¯ll buy a piece of property here.¡±

    Bai Quan looked at him in rm. ¡°Boss, when did you be so rich? Are you thinking of opening a maid caf¨¦?¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head, ¡°Maid caf¨¦? No way, it¡¯s too much trouble.¡±

    ¡°By the way,¡± he changed the topic abruptly, ¡°How¡¯s your new superpowering along?¡±

    Bai Quan just smiled awkwardly in response. Cannon, who was in his arms, scrambled to answer the question.

    ¡°Bai Quan must be the greatest virgin in history! The improvements he has made has been remarkable. You are definitely not his match now, Zhao Yao!¡±

    Zhao Yao pursed his lips. The greatest virgin in history? That sounded very much more like an insult than apliment.

    The two men and supercat continued to bicker yfully and chat animatedly. Matsuo, however, did not join in or say a word. Their recent encounter with the Spirit Army was lodged firmly in his brain. He could not stop thinking or worrying about when they would strike next.

    Bai Quan noticed this. He patted Matsuo on the shoulder firmly and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Boss will take care of them. It¡¯ll be fine.¡±

    Matsuo tried to smile back, but it was strained and never reached his eyes. He could not rx or quell the stifling anxiety.

    At that moment, a car stopped before them. Kuroko was in the driver¡¯s seat.

    Today was the day they were going to have lunch with Nanako.

 Chapter 544: Marriage of Convenience

    <h4>Chapter 544: Marriage of Convenience</h4>

    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions

    Kappei Hattori and Nanako walked side-by-side, chatting and smiling at each other. It looked very much like they were enjoying each other¡¯spany.

    ¡°Mr Kappei sure makes a great match with Ms Nanako.¡± Sylvie sighed.

    She was trailing behind the couple with Hideki Kujyo, Nanako¡¯s older brother.

    ¡°I would hope so,¡± he said stiffly.

    His distant demeanor did not deter her from continuing to speak.

    She added, ¡°I heard that Hattori- sama was epted into Tokyo University based entirely on his own merits. He even got a master¡¯s degree and PhD at UC Berkeley. Not only is he super smart, his manners are just impable as well. I guess that¡¯s what happens when you¡¯re raised as a Hattori. I¡¯ve heard nothing but great things about how kind, humble, and gentle he is. What a gentleman. He¡¯s been quickly climbing up the ranks in the Special Higher Police for the past couple of years too. He would make Ms Nanako the happiest woman in the world.¡±

    There was more that Sylvie wanted to say, but she thought better of it. This marriage was not only between Nanako and Kappei. It would be a union between the Hattori and Kujyo families. With it, the Kujyo family would have the backing of the Special Higher Police, which held more power today than ever before.

    It would be the dawn of a new era.

    Hideki did not respond to Sylvie this time. Instead, he nodded silently, his eyelids drooping as if out of shame.

    A whileter, Nanako climbed into the car that would take her to a lunch appointment with a friend.

    Kappei sent her one final smile and a wave as the car drove away. Then, he made his way towards Hideki Kujyo.

    ¡°Hideki, my friend, it¡¯s been too long,¡± he greeted cheerily, ¡°Look at you! You¡¯ve be the head of the Kujyo family while I¡¯m still making my rounds as a cop.¡±

    Hideki smiled and nodded curtly. ¡°You are too humble, Kappei. As themander of the Special Police Force, you are doing far greater things than I am.¡±

    While he was speaking, his eyes could not help but creep up to Hideki¡¯s hair.

    ¡°Your hairstyle...¡± he started.

    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s nothing. It was just a spur-of-the-moment thing,¡± Hattori interrupted quickly.

    ¡°It is very reminiscent of a certain dictator¡¯s!¡±

    Hattori was too embarrassed to respond. Hideki quickly led him into the house, where he steered the conversation far away from the new haircut. It did not take long for the awkwardness to melt away and for the men to start chatting like old buddies.

    As they spoke, Kappei Hattori could not help but throw nces in Sylvie¡¯s way.

    This went on for a few minutes before Hideki asked her to leave the room.

    Then, he turned to Kappei and spoke seriously, ¡°Did the superintendent send you here for a specific reason?¡±

    The superintendent he was referring to was Kappei¡¯s father, the head of the Special Police Force. In a society as traditional as Japan¡¯s, a person¡¯s family background basically determined his social ranking.

    Kappei¡¯s reply was calm. ¡°Yes, he did want me to discuss something to you. Now that Nanako and I are getting married, our families are joined as one. My father hopes that this union could be even closer. You know how it is¡ªfive clenched fingers are stronger than one finger alone.¡±

    He went on toy down the terms that his father had set. Hideki grew visibly pale as he listened intently to his future brother-inw¡¯s words.

    The Kujyos wanted to rub of benefits by associating with the Hattoris, but likewise, the Hattoris also nned on take the opportunity to absorb the resources that the Kujyos possessed in the financial and political domains.

    And clearly, the Hattoris¡¯ appetite was greater than Hideki Kujyo could imagine, much greater. They nearly wanted to devour more than half of the Kujyos¡¯ resources.

    Kappei shook his head with a chuckle when he noticed that Hideki had be ashen-faced.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to be quite so nervous, Hideki,¡± he said condescendingly, ¡°All we want is tobine our families¡¯ resources and influence. I know it¡¯s a lot to take in right now, but in no time, you¡¯ll see how this arrangement will elerate our expansion and grow our power.

    ¡°This will not just benefit my family. This is for the glory of both the Hattoris and the Kujyos. You¡¯ve got to set your sights further, my friend.¡±

    Hideki¡¯s lips pressed into a tight smile.

    ¡°Yes, I understand,¡± he nodded.

    ¡°Wonderful. I¡¯m d you do,¡± Kappei said without a care.

    He then changed the topic with seeming casualness.

    ¡°Oh, that maid who was here just now,¡± he started, ¡°that was Sylvie, wasn¡¯t it? Nanako told me that the two of them grew up together?¡±

    ¡°That is correct,¡± Hideki responded, ¡°Sylvie might be a maid, but she and Nanako are as close as sisters.¡±

    Kappei¡¯s face broke into a grin. ¡°It would be terrible to separate them, wouldn¡¯t it? I think Sylvie should stay with us when Nanako and I marry.¡±

    Hideki¡¯s gaze froze slightlye. However, he quickly understood the true intention behind this suggestion when he saw Kappei¡¯s lewd smile. He hesitated for one moment before nodding. He said, ¡°That wouldn¡¯t be a problem. I¡¯ll let Sylvie know.¡±

    Kappei chuckled with satisfaction. He continued, ¡°I¡¯ve heard that Nanako¡¯s father had always ensured that she had a dozen maids taking care of her every need. You might as well send all of them to us when Sylviees. They can keep Nanakopany so she never gets lonely.¡±

    Hideki¡¯s reply was instant, ¡°Sure. Consider it done.¡±

    This was a request that he could easily agree to, unlike the one that demanded his family¡¯s resources to be shared.

    When Kappei Hattori bade Hideki goodbye, he was in good spirits. The Captain South Korea fiasco seemed all but forgotten for now.

    For Hideki Kujyo, however, this meeting was far from pleasant. He narrowed his eyes at Kappei¡¯s retreating figure. There was nothing meek orpliant about his demeanor anymore. Eerie lights were swirling in his eyes, illuminating them.

    ¡°Heh heh... It sure seems like the Hattoris are already corrupted.¡±

    The lights that flickered in his eyes dimmed when he spun around to see Sylvie appear from behind the door. She had hidden there all along.

    Hideki took in her woeful expression. He asked, ¡°You heard everything?¡±

    Sylvie bowed in response and said, ¡°Mr. Hideki, you have always been kind to me. Your father and Ms. Nanako have been as well. I will do anything for the Kujyo family. I will make any sacrifice.¡±

    When she raised her head, there was a fiery determination in her eyes. She trusted him and believed that he would make the right decisions that would herald a glorious future for the Kujyo dynasty.

    Hideki¡¯s expression was grave as he met her gaze.

    ¡°Thank you, Sylvie. I will never forget the sacrifice that you have made,¡± he said.

    Then, he bowed deeply, ¡°Please take care of Nanako.¡±

    With his face hidden from view, an unfathomable a smile appeared on Hideki¡¯s lips.

    *

    Kappei Hattori left the Kujyo estate with a smug grin on his face. He could not believe that the mighty, century-old Kujyo dynasty was now at his beck and call. The authority that he held at the Special Higher Police made him impossible to refuse.

    His mood became even better when he thought about his adorable Nanako, the pristine Sylvie, and the dozen more maids that would be living with him in the future. He was practically whistling as he made his way to his car.

    Unfortunately, one phone call was all it took to ruin his day.

    The twelve missing members of the Special Higher Police had been found. They were stripped naked and abandoned somewhere in the countryside. This was but thetest of a series of embarrassing episodes for the department.

    ¡°Captain South Korea!¡± Kappei seethed through gritted teeth.

    The sudden appearance of this ridiculously powerful apostle infuriated him. He had made a fool out of the Special Higher Police, but they had no clue who he was or what country he was from. All they knew was that this oddball took up in the identities of Captain South Korea and Captain North Korea.

    Kappei yelled through the phone for more men to be sent after his nemesis, then hung up. He was being consumed with rage when an officer walked up next to him, a document file in hand.

    ¡°Sir, about Ms. Nanako¡¯s benefactor, we have obtained his personal information.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡±

    Kappei took the folder and flipped to the first page, where Zhao Yao¡¯s ID photo was affixed.

    The Kujyos could never have found information like this so quickly. After all, they did not have ess to the Japanese government¡¯s resources. Kappei did. He could tap on its globalworks to gather intel that had been collected by corporations and citizens, unwittingly and otherwise. It took no time to find out more about Nanako¡¯s mysterious benefactor.

    All of a sudden, Kappei¡¯s face, which was already gloomy because of the two Captain Koreas, became even nastier.

    ¡°This Zhao Yao... When Nanako was in China, she lived with him for six months?

    ¡°And they¡¯re about to have lunch together right now?¡±

    This information was like fuel that deepened the rage already coursing through his veins. He was practically shaking with fury.

    He mmed the folder shut, his mind whirring with cruel ns.

    These ns were not meant for Nanako. They were tailored for the Chinese man he was just reading about.

    Kappei let out a derisive snort ofughter. He fully intended to take out all his frustration about the Captain Koreas on this Chinese idiot.

    ...

    Zhao Yao, Bai Quan, and Matsuo were seated in a Japanese restaurant. It was an ordinary eating house that offered ordinary Japanese cuisine served with ordinary customer service.

    Cannon was boasting about how gifted Bai Quan was to Zhao Yao. The person in question could only smile awkwardly.

    ¡°Hmm, Bai Quan¡¯s pureness works perfectly with my powers. He is practically unassable now. No ordinary apostle would be able to touch him.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes in response, ¡°Please, he has always been unassable.¡±

    Cannon bared his teeth in anger. He retorted, ¡°Well, if not his defenses, my Sacred Virginity has raised his attack skills! Bai Quan can now see any unchaste individual¡¯s weakness! He can use it to destroy anyone in seconds. This is my Virgin Eyes of Death Perception.¡±

    Zhao Yao pursed his lips. ¡°Well, that sure sounds awfully familiar. You could be sued by its original creator, you know.¡±

    ¡°It ispletely different from the Virgin Eyes of Death Perception!¡± Cannon protested angrily, referring to the legendary power in Type-Moon video games.

    ¡°If you remember the original¡¯s name so well, I highly doubt you weren¡¯t copying it,¡± Zhao Yao insisted.

    ¡°They arepletely different! My Virgin Eyes of Death Perception only allows its user to see an unchaste¡¯s weakness.¡±

    ¡°Wouldn¡¯t that make it weaker?¡± Zhao Yao shrugged.

    Cannon leaped onto the table in anger. He mmed both paws on the table top and shouted, ¡°My ability might have a small range, but it is still extremely powerful!¡±

    The furious cat then turned to Bai Quan to seek support, ¡°Bai Quan! Am! I! Right?!¡±

    Once again, Bai Quan smiled awkwardly. ¡°Yeah, I guess so.¡±

    He spun to the side so that he could face the middle-aged man seated at the next table. His attention was immediately drawn to a tiny ck dot that was hovering near the man¡¯s crotch.

    This ck spot signified the person¡¯s weakness. He could see it now because of the Virgin Eyes of Death Perception.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes followed Bai Quan¡¯s line of sight.

    ¡°Come on, this is bull,¡± heined, ¡°I don¡¯t need your Virgin Eyes of Death Perception to know that that area is his weakness.¡±

    Cannon ignored him and continued his exnation. ¡°The more unchaste the opponent is, the more weakness would be exposed for Bai Quan to see! This means that he can easily defeat a person with a long string of ex-lovers and an expansive sexual history.¡±

    Bai Quan pursed his lips as he focused his attention on another customer in the restaurant. This time, it was a high school student who had on a full face of make-up. She had a ck spot hovering over herher regions as well. However, hers was farrger than the one on the middle-aged man. It was almost the size of a football.

    Zhao Yao was squinting at Cannon in disbelief by now.

    ¡°Okay. ording to you, the more unchaste a person is, the more weakness Bai Quan can see. I still don¡¯t get how that is of any use,¡± he said.

    ¡°The more weakness is unveiled, the bigger the target!¡± Cannon eximed, ¡°With his Virgin Eyes of Death Perception, Bai Quan knows exactly which spot to unleash his power onto. The bigger the spot, the easier it is for him to aim.¡±

    Zhao Yao could not help but roll his eyes. The more Cannon tried to rify himself, the more ridiculous his power sounded. At this point, Zhao Yao had no qualms that the cat was just a hateful, involuntary virgin, not the owner of some Sacred Virginity nonsense.

    Bai Quan¡¯s eyes eventuallynded underneath their table, where he spotted a ck basketball.

    ¡°What¡¯s this ball doing here?¡±

    He reached for it. When his fingers grazed the ball, a loud meow pierced through the air. Cannon copsed onto the ground, his paws pressing against his private parts.

    ¡°Make him stop!¡± he said feebly, ¡°Don¡¯t let him activate his Virgin Eyes of Death Perception to touch me!¡±

    Bai Quan retracted his palm instantly. It turned out that what he saw was not a ck basketball. Instead, it was a huge, ck dot that represented Cannon¡¯s weakness. Cannon was so impure that his dot was massive enough to cover his entire body.

    ¡°Sacred Virginity, my a**,¡± Zhao Yao cursed, ¡°You¡¯re no virgin. I bet your resolve must¡¯ve broken ages ago. Probably smashed it into pieces too, considering the size of your weakness. Just how many cats did you mess around with?¡±

    ¡°No! That¡¯s not what happened! I was forcibly corrupted by those who were threatened by my greatness,¡± Cannon snapped back, his voice still frail, ¡°Tell Bai Quan that he should only switch on the Virgin Eyes of Death Perception in battle. In today¡¯s decaying, decadent world, he has so many targets that he might cause coteral damage.¡±

    Zhao Yao remained expressionless. ¡°I¡¯m guessing you were the victim of coteral damage.¡±

    As the two of them continued to squabble, Bai Quan startled noticeably.

    ¡°Why has the sky gone dark?¡± he asked, jumping onto his feet.

    He rubbed his eyes, then opened them again. ¡°Boss, are you seeing this?¡±

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyebrows in confusion. ¡°What are you talking about? It¡¯s bright and sunny out there.¡±

    While the two of them debated over this, a cry of pain echoed from the entrance of the restaurant.

    It was Kappei Hattori, who was pressing against his crotch. He had fallen to the floor, where he was shaking in agony. He looked close to death.

    ¡°It... It hurts! Good God!¡± he wailed.

    ¡°Huh? What¡¯s happening?¡± Bai Quan asked, furrowing his eyebrows.

    He waved his hands before him blindly, inadvertently striking Kappei with great swells of energy.

    Kappei let out a final, blood-curdling scream before passing out.

    That was when a light bulb was turned on in Cannon¡¯s head.

    ¡°Ask him to turn off his Virgin Eyes of Death Perception!¡± he eximed.

    Zhao Yao passed the message and Bai Quan did as he was told. Immediately, his vision came back.

    ¡°Huh? I can see again,¡± he said, surprised.

    He then tried activating the Virgin Eyes of Death Perception again and his vision was obscured once more.

    There was a brief pause before Zhao Yao, Bai Quan, and Cannon all came to the same conclusion on what had happened.

    ¡°F**k, who is this guy you attacked? His weakness is massive enough to cover the entire, freakin¡¯ restaurant,¡± Zhao Yao scowled.

    Bai Quan shook his head in response. ¡°I have no idea. I can see now when I switch on the Virgin Eyes of Death Perception though.¡±

    This was because Kappei Hattori had already been carted off to the hospital, now spewing foam from the mouth.

    Bai Quan was perturbed. ¡°This is really disturbing. How can anyone be so... indecent?¡±

    Cannon, on the other hand, was unconcerned. ¡°This is nothing. Once, I was in Tokyo when I saw several dots merged together to form a supermassive one that was asrge as a dozen houses.¡±

    Zhao Yao scratched the bottom of his chin thoughtfully. ¡°Hmm, it seems like this power is not as worthless as I had thought. It can be very effective against certain opponents.¡±

    At that moment, the bell that hung on the restaurant¡¯s entrance chimed, and in walked Nanako. When she spotted Zhao Yao and the guys, she instantly headed towards them happily.

    ¡°Long time no see, Zhao Yao- kun , Bai Quan- kun ! Have you guys been having fun?¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded vehemently in response.

    ¡°It¡¯s been nice. In fact, I think Tokyo is a great ce. I intend to buy a second home here so I can visit regrly.¡±

    It doesn¡¯t hurt that the good citizens of Tokyo all seem to be in need of my help.

    Nanako was pleasantly surprised by this.

    ¡°Are you serious?¡± she started, ¡°How much is your budget? I can help you with this. I have a couple friends in the property business.¡±

    The two of them began discussing this enthusiastically. When Zhao Yao revealed that he wasfortable spending a few billion yen on the new property, Nanako shot him a suspicious look.

    ¡°You seem to have struck it rich all of a sudden. How? Did you sell Lightning?¡± she used.

    ¡°What? Of course not!¡± Zhao Yao retorted, ¡°Lightning is having the time of his life with me. He¡¯s even fathered a dozen kids.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡±

    It was obvious that Nanako did not believe his words. To convince her, Zhao Yao opened his mouth and spat Lightning onto the restaurant table.

    The Pas¡¯s Cat appeared, but he was not alone. He was mounted behind a cat with long, white fur. Lightning froze when he took in the sudden change of environment, but he shrugged it off and began twitching his body. He made a few jerking motions before copsing onto the white cat, azy grin spread across his face.

    While he was perfectly happy not knowing what was going on, the white cat had descended into panic.

    ¡°Ah!¡± she screamed, ¡°Where are we? Zhao Yao! Send me back! Now!¡±

    Zhao Yao chuckled awkwardly, ¡°Of course. Come on, go back in.¡±

    Then, he opened his mouth. The white cat sprung into it instantly, returning to the Extradimensional Belly.

    Without his partner, Lightning found himself falling face first onto the restaurant table. He shifted so that he couldy on his back.

    ¡°What do you want this time, Zhao Yao?¡± he asked impatiently, picking his nose, ¡°What enemy did you meet this time that requires my assistance? You¡¯ve really got to learn to read the signs. You can¡¯t just summon me when I¡¯m obviously busy.¡±

    ¡°Lightning!¡± Nanako scolded shrilly, pinching the top of his head, ¡°What was that?!¡±

    She then turned to re at Zhao Yao.

    ¡°You promised to take care of him! All you¡¯ve done is lead him astray!¡± she eximed.

    Zhao Yaoughed nervously. He exined, ¡°Oh, that¡¯s not true. What you just saw was a rarity. He isn¡¯t usually like this. I mean, just look at him. He¡¯s short and fat and it¡¯s not every day that a cat falls for him.¡±

    Nanako¡¯s hands shot up so she could cover Lightning¡¯s ears.

    ¡°Stop it, Zhao Yao! That¡¯s not true!¡± she cried, ¡°How can you say something so hurtful to Lightning? You¡¯ll put a dent on his self-esteem.¡±

    With that, she let go of the cat¡¯s ears and began stroking his head instead.

    ¡°Don¡¯t listen to that silly man, Lightning,¡± she said soothingly, ¡°You are, and will always be, the coolest and most handsome cat to me.¡±

    Bai Quan, who had been watching them curiously throughout the exchange, was sorely tempted to open his Virgin Eyes of Death Perception so he could verify howrge Lightning¡¯s weakness was.

    Soon, the food came and the conversation continued. The joy of reunion lifted the atmosphere as the merry band of friends began to catch up with one another. Only Matsuo remained sullen-faced. He was terribly troubled by all that Spirit Army business.

    Nanako joined him in looking miserable when the boys asked her if she was returning to China.

    Zhao Yao and Bai Quan exchanged nces.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you facing some kind of trouble?¡± Zhao Yao asked point-nk.

    Nanakoughed, but there was no joy in her voice. When she spoke, she did so gently.

    ¡°To be honest, I really like China. There¡¯s just something about the Chinese that¡¯s special. You have so much energy and enthusiasm and you¡¯re free to be exactly who you are. Unfortunately, I don¡¯t think I can return to China.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Zhao Yao wondered aloud, ¡°Weren¡¯t you pursuing your master¡¯s degree in China? You¡¯re not going to finish it?¡±

    Nanako nodded. ¡°That¡¯s correct. I¡¯ve already withdrawn from the university. The thing is...¡±

    She hesitated.

    ¡°I¡¯m getting married.¡±

    ¡°Ah!¡± Zhao Yao eximed.

    He quickly recovered from the initial surprise and looked at the space above Nanako¡¯s head.

    ¡°Damn. There¡¯s still no mission,¡± he thought to himself.

    He brushed his disappointment aside and tried digging for more information.

    ¡°Are you getting married of your free will?¡± he questioned, ¡°Did you family force you into this? Do you need my help? Let¡¯s be honest ¨C I doubt even the whole of Tokyo can take me down.¡±

    Bai Quan nodded in agreement. ¡°Nanako, if you need help, all you have to do is ask. If you do not want to get married, we¡¯ll take you back to China with us.¡±

    A smile graced Nanako¡¯s lips at their words. She covered my mouth daintily as she began to giggle.

    ¡°Thank you for your concern. There¡¯s no need to worry. I¡¯ve thought through this carefully and I¡¯ve made my decision. There¡¯s no problem,¡± she exined.

    ¡°Really?¡± Zhao Yao asked, eyeing the top of her head again, ¡°You know there¡¯s no need to hide anything from us, right? Just say the word and we¡¯ll deal with it.¡±

    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s really fine,¡± Nanako responded, shaking her head with augh, ¡°The man I¡¯m marrying is capable and responsible. He¡¯s a good guy.¡±

    ¡°Is that so?¡± Zhao Yao retorted, sidling up to her.

    In a quiet voice, he said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to be shy about what you want. As long as you provide us with a little marypensation, we¡¯ll do anything for you. I can switch his sexual orientation around so he¡¯s no longer interested in women. In fact, I can turn him into a woman. I have a legion of professionals who can get all of that done. All changes are not harmful and can be reverted at any point in time.¡±

    As he rambled on, his eyes were firmlytched on the top of Nanako¡¯s head, longing for the appearance of the exmation mark.

    Unfortunately, it never showed up.

    Nanako smiled at him. ¡°Seriously, I¡¯m fine. You don¡¯t have to worry about me.¡±

    That was, of course, a lie.

    Nanako did not want to marry Kappei Hattori. However, she believed that resistance was futile. The Hattori and Kujyo families were like forces of nature that controlled everything, from politics tomerce. With the backing of the Special Higher Police and the Storm Organisation, no one dared defy them.

    They were like unbudging mountains that made Nanako feel as helpless as an ant.

    She did not doubt Zhao Yao at all, but there was just no way he could face off with Japan¡¯s most powerful. Anyone who stood in the way of the juggernaut was bound to be crushed.

    She was not going to allow him to get hurt for trying to help her. She gave him a good-natured smile.

    ¡°If you guys want to, you¡¯re wee to attend my wedding. I¡¯m sure you¡¯ve not been to a traditional Japanese ceremony?¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡±

    Zhao Yao moved away from her when he realized that there really was no mission here. He rxed against his chair and said, ¡°Anyway, just remember that if you ever need help, we¡¯re one call away.¡±

    *

    At the hospital, the condition that Kappei Hattori was in was a bit of a shock for the doctors on duty. They sent him for surgery immediately.

    An elderly man was seated outside the surgical ward. He wore the most severe expression on his face. Bodyguards dressed head-to-toe in ck surrounded him. Even with his eyes closed, authority radiated from him.

    Hideki Kujyo appeared at the end of the corridor. He hurried down the hallway and bowed deeply when he saw the elderly man.

    The man was Kappei Hattori¡¯s father, Aoyama Hattori, themissioner general of the Japanese police force.

    Aoyama Hattori spared a nce in Hideki¡¯s direction. He did not bother with pleasantries, diving straight into the issue at hand instead.

    ¡°The lower half of Kappei¡¯s body had been severely maimed. The doctor said he is lucky to have made it out alive. He might have kept his life, but he would never make aplete recovery.¡±

    Hideki was stunned by the news. When he heard that Kappei had been hospitalized, he never expected it to be for something so serious.

    Who in their right mind would attack the Kappei Hattori unprovoked? He had even targeted his private parts. Just how much animosityy between them?

    <h4>Chapter 547: The Meeting at the Hospital</h4>

    Aoyama Hattori continued, ¡°If you all want to break off the engagement you can say it. I won¡¯t me you.¡±

    Hideki Kujo¡¯s expression became serious. He said sternly, ¡°Nanako and Kappei fell in love at first sight. She wishes to marry him and will not marry anyone else. Though I am her brother, I still respect her wish.¡±

    Aoyama Hattori looked at him in the eyes. ¡°Alright,¡± was all he said.

    Hideki Kujo lowered his head, hiding a smile. Although Aoyama betrayed no sign of rage on his face, his anger seeped from his tone and demeanor, as well as the slight satisfaction of hisst sentence.

    However, this had nothing to do with him. The only person to suffer would be the one who hurt Kappei Hattori. Kappei¡¯s current critical condition would benefit his nter on.

    As for Nanako¡¯s happiness and will? Neither Hideki Kujo nor Aoyama Hattori really considered or had any intention to consider these things. She was a woman after all. Her family groomed and raised her into the person she was today. A little sacrifice from her was not too much to ask.

    What they coveted was simply the benefits which the union between the Kujo and Hattori families would bring to either family.

    ¡°Bang! Bang! Bang!¡± Right at this moment, the sound of the hospital doors being mmed open reverberated from the far end of the corridor.

    A tall strong man barged in and his terrifying aura was instantly felt. He had the look of a devil: sinister and ruthless. When he saw Aoyama Hattori, he anxiously asked, ¡°Father, how is Kappei¡¯s condition?¡±

    Hideki Kujyo stole a nce at this muscr man before retreating a few steps back. This brash, violent-looking man was Kappei Hattori¡¯s elder brother, Kaede Hattori, the eldest son of the Hattori family.

    As he sized up Kaede Hattori, fear shed in Hideki Kujyo¡¯s eyes. Compared to Kappei Hattori, his brother was far stronger and superior to him.

    Despite his young age, he had be the hero of the Special Higher Police. After the supercats were awakened, he became an apostle as well. He gained various supercat powers with the help of the Hattori family. His fighting prowess grew as he killed countless strong supercats and apostles and became the nightmare of countless rogue apostles in Japan. He was also one of the top five most capable apostles in the Japanese government, known as a one-man army.

    In the world of superpowers, the name Kaede Hattorimanded more respect than the whole Hattori family.

    ¡°Kaede.¡± At the sight of his eldest son, Aoyama Hattori unconsciously let out a sigh of relief and told him about Kappei Hattori¡¯s condition.

    As Kaede Hattori heard what was being said, his terrifying aura intensified. It peaked as he smashed his fist against the wall of the hospital, where web-like cracks appeared instantly.

    A few hourster, Kappei Hattori was moved out of the operating theatre to the intensive care unit.

    The doctor shook his head at Aoyama Hattori and said ¡°The patient¡¯s injuries are too severe. We have stitched up his wounds for now, but for him to recover fully he will have to undergo many more operations. As to what extent he will recover, we cannot guarantee anything.¡±

    Aoyama Hattori and Kaede Hattori walked to his bedside and stared at the unconscious Kappei Hattori.

    ¡°Father, you must leave this matter to me,¡± Kaede Hattori said resolutely. ¡°Whoever hurt Kappei, I will make him regret not killing himself there and then.¡±

    Aoyama Hattori nodded. For the next few days, the whole Hattori family activated their powers, with Kaede Hattori as their center. Immense power radiated out from his body in all directions, like the tidal waves of a huge sea monster. This resulted in even more disorder in the already chaotic Tokyo.

    However, Zhao Yao waspletely unaware that they had invited another archenemy and continued with his carefree days.

    That night, he was seen bolting through the Tokyo buildings in search of people who needed help.

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao¡¯s ears twitched as he heard a piercing scream from afar. He bolted there in an instant.

    He saw a man leaning on the office window repeatedly pressing his palms and leaving handprints on it. There was another man behind him exercising. The man in front had a golden exmation mark shing above his head.

    The golden exmation mark above the man¡¯s head meant that it was Zhao Yao¡¯s first mission in a long time.

    He hesitated, ¡°This is not an easy mission. I have my limits too.¡±

    On the other side of the city, in the hotel where Zhao Yao was staying, Matsuo paced around worriedly. Beside him, Bai Quan was lying on the bed and practicing his virgin boy power.

    At first, Cannon was so focused on watching cat films on his phone that his hands shook, but Matsuo¡¯s anxious steps made him meow out in annoyance, ¡°Aren¡¯t you tired of pacing back and forth? It¡¯s so annoying that I can¡¯t concentrate on using my powers!¡±

    However, Matsuo could not understand what his meowing meant. Matsuo walked to Bai Quan with a face full of worry and tried to convince him, ¡°Bai Quan, should we just move to another ce? When the Spirit Army previously attacked us they already recognized me. Staying here is too dangerous. They will definitely find us.¡±

    Upon hearing that, Bai Quan simply smiled, showing his eight white teeth and said ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll be fine. I am very skillful and Boss is even more capable than me.¡±

    Matuso¡¯s face fell again when he heard Bai Quan¡¯s reply. During this period, he had been trying to persuade Zhao Yao and Bai Quan to go into hiding, but the two were very nonchnt about it. They only cared about having fun all day.

    Zhao Yao even insisted on going out every night to wander. He only returned the next morning with dark eye circles.

    ¡°These youngsters seriously have no self-control,¡± Matsuo sighed, shaking his head.

    At the same time, jets of ck smoke snaked over the sky above the hotel.

    These swirls of smoke were the spirits from the Spirit Army. Within a few hours, hundreds of thousands of spirits had gathered and floated in mid-air, camouged by the night sky. No one noticed that the number of spirits became and greater and greater by the minute.

    At the center of the Spirit Army, ten of human-like spirits with solid bodies hovered in the air, staring coldly at the building beneath their feet.

    The head of the army was a middle-aged man possessed by Momo. She looked at the building below and said ¡°They are right here. Matsuo, that traitor, and the two Chinese guys.¡±

    The ten bodies around Momo were living spirits she spent a huge amount of time and energy to create. They could be said to be the strongest batch of spirits amongst all the other spirits shemanded. On top of having the basic powers of a spirit, each of them also retained most of the superpowers each apostle had when they possessed them.

    Momo¡¯s power was her ability to rob a part of the debtor¡¯s soul and create living spirits out of them. The greater the debt of the person, the greater the part of the soul that would be robbed and the stronger the living spirit created, as it would have greater innate power.

    Those ten apostle spirits were her precious creations, made by scamming the apostles out of their money, leaving them bankrupt and saddled in a mountain of debt.

    These specially-created spirits were the strongest among the tens of thousands of spirits in the Spirits Army. Each of them had the ability to fight against a modern army.

    That day Momo had gathered these special spirits to defeat the two Chinese guys in a single blow, as well as recapture Matsuo.

    One apostle spirit asked, ¡°Lord Momo, are those two Chinese guys really that special? Do we really we need to mobilise all our forces?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, given our current strength, wouldn¡¯t this be equivalent to fighting the Special Higher Police?¡±

    ¡°As the saying goes, a lion uses all its strength even when catching a rabbit,¡± Momo replied. ¡°These two Chinese guys can kill hundreds of spirit soldiers in an instant. We should not underestimate their abilities. Furthermore, we are the rivals of the Special Police now. I do not want to contract any unnecessary losses.¡±

    In fact, this was a unique characteristic of the Spirit Army. Only they couldmand such a great amount of flexibility and servitude from their members. They could gather hundreds of thousands of spirit soldiers for a siege without raising rm.

    It was an advantage Momo had to use.

    As she watched the numbers of her Spirit Army gradually grow past 50 000, Momo smiled with satisfaction andmanded with a wave of her hand, ¡°Catch them.¡±

    At the same time, Bai Quan, who was lying on the hotel bed and practicing his virgin boy power, suddenly raised his head and looked towards the ceiling. Right at this instance, his superpower intuition sensed an intense stream of hostility charging towards them at full force.

    Sensing the intense hostility that was approaching, Bai Quan stood up from his bed. He squinted his eyes as if he could see the whole Spirit Army through the walls of the hotel.

    He was only heard saying, ¡°Cannon, Matsuo,e quick.¡±

    Cannon: ¡°Meow meow!¡±

    Matsuo thought he was acting weirdly, ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±

    Bai Quan said hastily, ¡°I sense that something is wrong, I think someone is trying to attack us. Matsuo, you better transform and hide in my mouth for now.¡± As he said that, he had already caught Cannon in his arms and hugged him tightly.

    Matsuo was startled by his words and disappeared into a puff of smoke with a ¡°Whoosh!¡±, entering Bai Quan¡¯s mouth.

    With both man and cat safe under his protection, Bai Quan walked right out of the hotel room. When he reached the side of the windows he took a few steps and leapt out.

    ¡°AHHHH!!!!¡± An ear-splitting shriek escaped from Cannon¡¯s mouth as his heart screamed, ¡°Has this guy gone crazy? Gone, I¡¯m gone. I can¡¯t believe that I, the great Cannon, have lived to die in the hands of this idiot.¡±

    Just as Cannon thought this, Bai Quan flipped andnded on the roof of the opposite building. Cannon was so scared that his face was turning green.

    For Bai Quan, this was nothing. It was just like jumping over a small drain to him. He turned around and nced up at the sky above the hotel. He saw the storm of spirit soldiers diving down at full speed, like a massive frenzied ck wave engulfing the skies, causing many passersbys to exim in shock.

    Terrified, Matsuo screamed, ¡°It¡¯s the Spirit Army! They came! They really came!¡±

    Bai Quan frowned and did not seem frightened by the sight of the hundreds of thousands of spirit soldiers. His currentbat power was still above that of the Butcher. With the addition of the Divine Chastity power, he definitely had no reason to be afraid of these spirits.

    He shouted across to the spirit soldiers, ¡°Hey, there are too many people here. Let¡¯s go somewhere else.¡±

    As he spoke, he turned to run and sprang across a few buildings, rushing towards the outskirts of Tokyo.

    ¡°Follow me if you want to fight.¡±

    Seeing that Bai Quan had escaped, the Spirit Army bellowed and charged after them. A few apostle spirits came over and reported to Momo, ¡°He is alone. Matsuo seems to be in his mouth. The other Chinese guy is missing.¡±

    With a glint in her eyes, Momo said, ¡°Catch up with him.¡± At the same time, she thought to herself, ¡°The cat that he was holding in his arms, is that Cannon? He¡¯s actually still alive?¡±

    One of her subordinates said, ¡°That Chinese guy is really fast, it will take some time to catch up with him. If we charge at him with full force, it will definitely attract the attention of the government.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± Momo answered cooly, ¡°Catch up with them and capture them. It won¡¯t take a lot of time.¡±

    Hundreds of thousands of spirits pursued Bai Quan as he headed towards the outskirts of Tokyo.

    As Bai Quan jumped over buildings, cars, and bridges while being pursued by the spirit soldiers, Cannon was shrieking in his arms the whole time.

    Suddenly, Bai Quan stopped at the beach. Cannon immediately screamed at him, ¡°What are you stopping for? Hurry up and run! Their numbers are crazy. Even the virgin boy power can¡¯t stop them.¡±

    Bai Quan smiled and put Cannon down, patting his head and said, ¡°You just stay here and don¡¯t move or else I won¡¯t be able to protect youter.¡±

    Matsuo, who was in Bai Quan¡¯s mouth, tried to persuade him as well, ¡°Bai Quan, are you out of strength? Quick, call Zhao Yao! Only he can save us now.¡±

    Matsuo had been observing the way Bai Quan took care of Zhao Yao¡¯s supercats. He saw him as a cheerful young man with a decent physique. Pursued by hundreds of thousands of spirit soldiers, the only solution Matuso could think of was to rely on Zhao Yao to save them.

    ¡°Even if Zhao Yao can¡¯t beat the Spirit Army, at least he can create a dimension doorway for us to escape.¡±

    Bai Quan nodded his head at Matsuo¡¯s words, ¡°Yeah, I have already sent our location to Boss, but he¡¯s a little far from where we are now. I¡¯m afraid he will not be able toe in time.¡±

    In the blink of an eye, the sky was filled with the spirits. More and more appeared on the beach around him, above his head, and below his feet. Bai Quan waspletely surrounded by the spirits now.

    There was no way out.

    Seeing this, Matsuopletely gave up hope. Especially when he saw some familiar faces of apostle spirits among the Spirit Army. They rekindled terror he had thought long gone.

    It was not that he was a coward. It was more that he knew the destructive potential of the Spirit Army very well. Precisely because he knew their powers, high level of cooperation and experience, he understood the hopelessness of this situation better than anyone else.

    He also knew Cannon¡¯s, Bai Quan¡¯s and his own capabilities. In his eyes, there was no way out.

    ¡°Even Zhao Yao who defeated me can only flee in this situation.¡± Matsuo sighed deeply, ¡°Indeed, we won¡¯t be able to wait till Zhao Yaoes. This is at least more than half of the whole Spirit Army. I¡¯m afraid we can¡¯t even hold out for more than a half a minute.¡±

    He had alreadye out of Bai Quan¡¯s mouth and spoke as if he were staring death directly in its eyes, ¡°Since we havee to this, we shall fight together to the end.¡±

    Hearing Matsuo¡¯s words, Bai Quan was exasperated, ¡°You¡¯re mistaken.¡±

    Matsuo: ¡°What?¡±

    Bai Quan looked at the fearsome Spirit Army surrounding them and said calmly, ¡°When I said Boss can¡¯t make it here in time, what I meant was they won¡¯t be able to hold out until hees.¡±

    Filling up the surroundings and in the sky, hundreds of thousands of spirits howled in the wind. It was like the world was Hell. Thousands of spirit eyes glinted ominously. Cannon and Matsuo were so scared they felt like their sweat and hair had retreated into their follicles.

    An apostle spirit in a youngdy¡¯s body came forward and shouted, ¡°Matsuo you traitor, raise your hands and surrender yourself immediately¨C¡±

    ¡°¨CCANNON!¡± Momo¡¯s wailing voice cut off the female apostle spirit mid-sentence.

    The male spirit Momo possessed was staring at Cannon, saying sorrowfully, ¡°Since you didn¡¯t die, why didn¡¯t youe and find me?¡±

    ¡°Miss, I think you¡¯re mistaken. I am not Cannon. My name is Italy, not Cannon.¡±

    ¡°Haha,¡± Momoughed dryly, ¡°We were together for more than three months. Even if you turned into ashes I would still recognize you. Cut it out. I will send you to the pet hospital today to have you castrated to make you pay for all that you have done.¡±

    Cannon immediately replied, ¡°I think you¡¯re confused... Oh right, I have a younger brother called Cannon. Maybe you mistook me for him?¡±

    ¡°Go on, continue acting,¡± Momo tersely replied, ¡°I believed your pompous acts back then. That was how you took advantage of my feelings.¡±

    Both Bai Quan and Matsuo¡¯s stares turned into looks of contempt for Cannon.

    Cannon wanted to continue pretending but he realized there was no point in that and stood up. ¡°That¡¯s enough b*tch. Don¡¯t make it sound like it was all my fault back then, okay? At that time, I was still the best supercat in Tokyo. The number of female cats who liked me was enough to fill up the whole of Tokyo Bay. Didn¡¯t you chase me first?¡±

    ¡°I chased you first?¡± Momo spat furiously, ¡°Who asked me out to catch mice? Who was thick-skinned and brought me to watch the fireworks with him and sent seafood to my doorstep every few days?¡±

    ¡°That was because I liked you back then,¡± Cannon retorted, ¡°Why don¡¯t you talk about how you changed after that? You checked my phone all day to see my chat records and I had to tell you wherever I went. I am a cat, not a dog. I felt like I had no freedom at all when I was with you. No cat would ever be able to tolerate that.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s because you cheated on me!¡± Momo screamed in rage, ¡°I still have the photo of you and Yoshiko in the hotel!¡±

    ¡°How many times do you want to hear this?! I went to the hotel with Yoshiko that day to use the hotel wifi. We were only ying Mobile Legends together!¡± Cannon raged, ¡°And why don¡¯t you talk about that time when you went to Mt. Fuji for a holiday together with Maru Kaze? And how the two of you spent the night together?!¡±

    Momo shouted back, ¡°You know that Maru Kaze is gay! We grew up together! He is like a sister to me.¡±

    ¡°Haha, gay? Sister?¡± Cannonughed sarcastically.

    Hearing his sarcasticughter, Momo was even more enraged, ¡°Cannon, you¡¯re dead! I will castrate you today! Spirit Army, catch all of them! Remember, make sure to catch them alive.¡±

    Although they could not understand Cannon¡¯s meowing, based on the words of the middle-aged man Momo possessed, they knew enough to deduce the whole story. All the spirits present, as well as Bai Quan and Matsuo, could not help but roll their eyes at how the situation had turned into some romantic melodrama.

    It was only at this point that the two cats finally stopped quarreling. At Momo¡¯smand, the scene turned into a battlefield with thousands of spirits ring ominously at the two men and the cat on the beach, howling out menacingly at them.

    ¡°Hahahaha, look at their scared faces.¡±

    ¡°Keke, if we strike together, they might just be torn into a hundred shreds.¡±

    ¡°What should we do then? Lord Momo told us not to kill them.¡±

    Hearing the ghoulish howls, Cannon shrieked in fright and hid behind Bai Quan.

    At the same time, the ten of apostle spirits stepped out one by one.

    A female apostle spirit with a body made of fire appeared. She had mes as her hair and a whip in her hand. She smirked and said, ¡°Chinese guy, you¡¯re really unlucky. Both of your friends are our targets. Do you want to surrender now?¡±

    ¡°Since Lord Momo specifically instructed us to capture them alive, we apostle spirits have no choice but to take over from the Spirit Army. If the army attacks them in full force, they will die too easily.¡± Another apostle spirit in the body of an elder wielding a katana with a cold and vicious aura said icily, ¡°Stop fooling around, ming Orchid. We should join forces to capture all of them. If we continue wasting time, the Special Higher Police forces will arrive soon enough.¡±

    As he said that, the elder spirit drew out his katana and stared at Bai Quan and his friends while saying, ¡°Sword Spirit, Isawa Ito, nice to meet you.¡±

    The female apostle spirit who was wrapped in mes also introduced herself, giggling sinisterly, ¡°ming Orchid Devil, Misa Ayuta, remember me when you go to Hell.¡±

    Following that, apostle spirits with all sorts of superpowers stepped out one by one, unleashing bouts of mes, icicles, and even hurricanes.

    ¡°Divine Gun, Ichi Shogaku,¡± bellowed an apostle spirit with strong body and a metal gun in his hand. Golden rays emanated from his body.

    ¡°East Sea Devil, Arashi Amakusa,¡± another apostle spirit with a shape-shifting body shrouded in ck smoke came forth.

    ¡°Undying Dragon, created for eternity.¡±

    ¡°Demon Spirit, Rukawa Shota.¡±

    As each apostle spirit came forward to introduce themselves, the rest of the surrounding spirits howled and pped with enthusiasm, while Cannon and Matsuo felt more and more hopeless.

    However, Bai Quan could not help but roll his eyes at the sight of the apostle spiritsing out to introduce themselves. ¡°Just like Boss said, you Japanese spirits love to exaggerate, even with your nicknames. Can we stop with the names and start fighting? What a waste of time.¡±

    Misa Ayuta started giggling again, ¡°Looks like this Chinese boy still doesn¡¯t get what¡¯s happening.¡±

    Ichi Shogaku began spinning the rifle in his hand as if he was churning a tornado. ¡°Hmph, he¡¯s slighting us. Seems like he has never heard our names before.¡±

    East Sea Devil Arashi Amakusa smirked and said, ¡°You guys are being too serious. They¡¯re just a man, a cat, and a ghost. There¡¯s no need for all these formalities. Let¡¯s keep it simple, like this...¡±

    In the next moment, Arashi Amakusa appeared behind Bai Quan in a sh, with a vicious aura that pierced his back and chilled him to the bone.

    ¡°Dagger of Divine Destruction!¡±

    Although Arashi Amakusa was always shrouded in ck smoke and looked as if his superpower had something to do with that, this was actually just a basic spirit shape-shifting ability. His actual superpower was teleportation.

    His usual method of killing was to teleport behind the person as he was talking and backstab the unsuspecting person with his dagger. He called this skill the Dagger of Divine Destruction.

    However, this time, just as the mixed metal dagger ruthlessly pierced Bai Quan¡¯s singlet and touched his skin, it was blocked by his marble-like muscles and the strength of his virgin boy power. As much as Arashi Amakusa exerted his strength, he could not even pierce through the surface of his skin.

    Bai Quan shook his head in exasperation, ¡°You call this the Dagger of Divine Destruction? I heard of another fe who has much stronger backstabbing skills than you.¡±

    Arashi Amakusa was shocked and teleported away at lightning speed. In the span of a second, he had already teleported three times to his current location which was more than 50 meters away. However, he barely caught his breath before another fist smashed him down ruthlessly. His vision closed in immediately as if the sky were copsing on him.

    Immediately, Bai Quan¡¯s fist punched through the air. It generated waves of wind that crashed into Arashi Amakusa¡¯s face. Within a thousandth of a second, Arashi Amakusa¡¯s face cracked and exploded into pieces. His body could not withstand the immense pressure for even a tenth of a second before it exploded into stardust and scattered across the sky.

    Bai Quan¡¯s opponent had been sted alive. Still, waves of air, distorted by the fist, rippled downwards, crashing into the sand.

    The sand on the beach exploded like a detonated bomb. Tons of sand flew up towards the sky, only to rain down around them.

    Everyone was startled by the scene. Before they regained theirposure, Bai Quan split through the sand rain and reappeared in front of Divine Gun Ichi Shogaku. He cracked his shoulders and warmed up his waist before showering him in punches. Hisst blew his brains up.

    The force from the impact of the punch radiated out from behind Ichi Shogaku, wiping out hundreds of spirits behind him as well.

    Bai Quan shook his head, ¡°How weak.¡±

    Hiya! ming Orchid Devil let out a terrifying shriek. The mes on her body erupted with rage as she turned into a sea of fire and charged towards Bai Quan.

    Bai Quan stretched out his palm at the impending sea of fire and fanned it with all his might. A huge wave of air materialized. He controlled the air like a Wind God and swept it towards the sea of fire, snuffing it out.

    Staring into Misa Ayuta¡¯s terrified eyes, he closed his right palm before raising his fingers up one by one. Each time he raised a finger a tremendous gust of air shot out, shooting five enormous bursts that sted Misa Ayuta into the night sky.

    The spirit with the katana in his hand stared at the scene before him with disbelief. Seeing that Bai Quan had turned towards him, he backed off terrified, ¡°No, this cannot be. How could this happen? What exactly are you?¡±

    ¡°Me?¡± Bai Quan smirked and said, ¡°In our country, there are many monstrous beings that are stronger than me.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s impossible!¡±

    Bai Quan snickered as he saw that his opponent was on the verge of going crazy. He punched him in a sh, striking him within a hundredth of a second.

    Immediately, a cannon-like explosion was heard. At the far end of the beach, the Sword Spirit Isawa Ito was sted off into midair.

    The Spirit Army was so shaken that no one else dared to strike. All of them were left dumbfounded and stared at each other with terror and despair.

    Momo, who had just given hermand, was outraged. She was shocked at the terrifying prowess of the Chinese man in front of her and angered by the fact that the apostle spirits she had spent so much effort and money to nurture were blown up just like that.

    Bai Quan would not stop because of this. These spirits were not real people but doppelgangers of their rightful owners. Even if they were exploded by him, the spirits would return to the bodies of their owners. He felt no guilt at all when destroying them.

    He shed his right hand and fist as if he had an air cannon on his back. Waves of air rippled through the sea of spirits. Every punch obliterated themyer byyer.

    The Butcher had used this move in the previous cat kingpetition when he had immense physical strength. Now, Bai Quan¡¯s physical strength was on par with the Butcher. The strength of his bones and internal organs even surpassed the Butcher. Executing this move was no problem for him.

    With Bai Quan¡¯s punches and blows raining down on them, the tens of thousands of spirits quickly dispersed. To prevent Bai Quan from pursuing them, all the spirits became invisible and flew off in different directions. They escaped in the blink of an eye.

    Cannon was overjoyed and burst outughing, ¡°Hmph, now you see how powerful I am? Momo, you better stay away from me, or else my subordinate will finish you off!¡±

    ¡°Cannon!¡± Momo red at Cannon. When she saw Bai Quan raise his fist again, she evaporated into thin air.

    Bai Quan continued sting another few thousand spirits until the remaining spirits finally ran for safety. This left only Bai Quan, Matsuo and Cannon on the beach as if nothing had happened.

    ¡°Wakakaka,¡± Cannon leapt onto Bai Quan¡¯s shoulder, flipped out his phone and typed excitedly, ¡°My Divine Virginity power is actually so powerful? Bai Quan, from now on, we will be a virgin duo! Divine Virginity, the greatest power in the world!¡±

    Matsuo came out of Bai Quan¡¯s mouth and regained his human form. He stared at Bai Quan admiringly, ¡°Bai Quan, this isn¡¯t the power of Divine Virginity, right?¡±

    ¡°Yeah,¡± Bai Quan agreed, ¡°The power came from training my physical strength with determination every day.¡±

    Cannon was a little disappointed but still hugged Bai Quan around the neck. He looked like he was willing to follow him for the rest of his life.

    ...

    Zhao Yao was halfway there when he received another message from Bai Quan, ¡°Huh? It¡¯s settled? D*mn it! There goes another mission.¡±

    Zhao Yao was not at all worried about Bai Quan. Given his strong physique and the Divine Virginity power, the people who could actually defeat him in a battle were rare.

    If it were not for the mission, would he have rushed over so hastily?

    ¡°I should have asked Bai Quan to show some mercy. What a good a mission it was and now it¡¯s gone,¡± he sighed. Zhao Yao¡¯s ears twitched and he suddenly saw a flood of familiar ck cars speed across the viaduct beneath him.

    ¡°Are these cars from the Special Higher Police?¡± his eyes lit up, ¡°So many of them are mobilized, something huge must have happened. There might be a mission if I follow them.¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately followed one of the ck cars and headed towards their destination.

    Very soon, he had chased the car to a forest near Tokyo.

    From afar, Zhao Yao could see the Special Higher Police forces amassed together. Was a meeting being held?

    Concealing himself, Zhao Yao snuck over and stared at the sea of ck. He was disappointed at first until he saw a tall, strong man standing at the front and speaking to the police force.

    What excited Zhao Yao the most was the exmation mark above the man¡¯s head. It was burning with red mes.

    ¡°Wow, an exmation mark that burns? How powerful is that?¡±

    Zhao Yao tailed behind this strong man and overheard him saying, ¡°... ording to reliable sources, there was an internal struggle in the Spirit Army which greatly reduced the strength of their forces. This is the perfect opportunity to wipe them out all at once. The battle today concerns the future of our country. I hope all of you will fight with all of your strength without any ounce of regret.¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡±

    Hearing their words, Zhao Yao¡¯s rolled his eyes, ¡°Eh? Looks like the Special Higher Police have also set their sights on the Spirit Army. That does make sense since the Spirit Army isn¡¯t fully made of spirits. It has other supercats and apostles as well. But weren¡¯t they defeated by Bai Quan? How did thate off as an internal struggle?¡±

    After they dispersed, an adjutant officer walked over to Kaede Hattori and reported something to him.

    Zhao Yao assessed the numbers of the Special Higher Police forces contemptuously. Recently he had been quite frank inpeting with the Special Higher Police for missions. They now felt the need to fight with him the moment they saw him. Not only that but they were very reluctant to ask for his help. This significantly slowed down the rate at which hepleted missions.

    As he thought of this, he walked to a corner and transformed into the adjutant officer through his power of illusion. He then walked up to Kaede Hattori and asked, ¡°Inspector, do you need my help in any way?¡±

    As Zhao Yao used the power of illusion, his eyes shed bright red. He controlled Old Cat to help him trante.

    This was a skill he had discovered today. He could now use the powers of Old Cat to speak Japanese without having any side effects or worrying that Old Cat would y some cheap tricks on him.

    Kaede Hattori stared at the adjutant officer and frowned a little before waving him off, ¡°I don¡¯t have anything that requires your help. Go off and prepare for the battle now.¡±

    He looked at Kaede Hattori with the gaze of a tough and aggressive man that would not be easily convinced.

    Seeing how resolutely Kaede Hattori rejected him, Zhao Yao came up with a n.

    After he stepped away, he found the apostle he was posing as and knocked him out. He then hid him away, before looking for other police officers to question about Kaede Hattori.

    He found a plump loner and pulled him aside, whispering, ¡°Do you know what happened to Inspector Hattori? He barked at me so intensely just now.¡±

    ¡°How do you not know?¡± That fatty said in disbelief, ¡°News has already spread throughout the whole Special Higher Police force... His younger brother¡¯s penis exploded.¡±

    Old Cat heard this and tranted, ¡°Because his younger brother¡¯s penis exploded.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Zhao Yao was confused, ¡°What¡¯s so bad about his younger brother building a castle[1]?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s still controlled Old Cat, so he had to trante despite rolling his eyes exasperatedly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with that?¡±

    ¡°His younger brother¡¯s penis exploded! How is that not serious?¡± The fatty eximed, ¡°If that happened to my younger brother, I would kill the guy who did it!¡± and left fuming.

    ¡°What¡¯s up with him,¡± Zhao Yao was still confused and went to find another person. He saw a skinny guy who had juste out from the forest after a pee and walked right up to him. He pulled him aside to ask, ¡°Why is Inspector Hattori so upset?¡±

    ¡°His younger brother¡¯s penis exploded. Do you think he should be happy about that?¡± The skinny guy shook his head, ¡°I feel bad for Mr. Hattori. His younger brother lost his manhood at such a young age. I heard that there are already three adjutant officers who have been beaten up by him so badly they fractured their bones. Mr. Yamada, you should be careful as well.¡±

    ¡°What the heck?...¡± Zhao Yao was left speechless, ¡°What are these Japanese people thinking...¡± he thought to himself as he stroked his chin, ¡°Could it be that he was jealous of his younger brother building a castle? So the mission is to help him build one as well?¡±

    As Old Cat was being controlled by Zhao Yao in order to trante for him but he was unable to show him some of the nuances of the sentences. This led to Zhao Yao grossly misinterpreting the information about Kaede Hattori.

    Confident he mastered the situation, Zhao Yao walked up to Kaede Hattori and controlled Old Cat to say, ¡°Inspector Hattori, if you need my assistance, I can make you as strong as your younger brother.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Kaede Hattori raised his head sharply with a dangerous re in his eyes, ¡°Are you mocking me? Mr. Yamada, are you unhappy with me about something?¡±

    ¡°What the heck? When did I mock him? Are all these Japanese people crazy?¡± Zhao Yao was perplexed. He controlled Old Cat again to say, ¡°Inspector, I have no intention to mock you. I really just want to help you.¡±

    Kaede Hattori stared deeply at Zhao Yao for a while. As if he could sense his sincerity, he did not beat him up and only said, ¡°Then just prepare yourself well for the uing battle.¡±

    Rejected twice, Zhao Yao was irritated. The mission from this person in front of him was a bit difficult to take up, should he resort to force? Or should he use the Sixth Sense illusion?

    ¡°Let¡¯s just try using the Sixth Sense illusion for now. Anyway if it doesn¡¯t work, it will just make me a bitzier.¡±

    Because of the low sess rate and highziness rate of the Sixth Sense illusion, Zhao Yao had stopped using it ever since he had tried it at the prison.

    Thinking about it now, it had been a while since the Cat King of the West imnted a stream of idleness in his heart. It should have mostly dispelled by now. Technically, he could give the Sixth Sense illusion a try.

    As he thought of this, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes brightened and activated the Sixth Sense illusion at once, ¡°Trust me!¡±

    Invisible waves surrounded Kaede Hattori, who frowned before suddenly turning to Zhao Yao and asking sincerely, ¡°Do you have anything I can help you with?¡±

    ¡°God d*mn it,¡± Zhao Yao rolled his eyes. I¡¯m here to help him, and this r*tard now wants to help me?¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at him and said, ¡°Let me help you, Inspector Hattori. I am the kind of person who cannot stand not helping someone for a day. Just give me a mission.¡±

    ¡°You want me to give you a mission?¡± Kaede Hattori, who was now under the influence of Zhao Yao¡¯s Sixth Sense illusion, replied immediately, ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll give you a mission. Later when we attack the Spirit Army¡¯s base in the mountains, help me catch the supercat called Momo. Don¡¯t let her escape. She is the ringleader of the Spirit Army, if we don¡¯t catch her, our efforts would be futile no matter how many times we destroy the Spirit Army.¡±

    Mission: Catch Momo

    Mission Objective: Catch Momo, the mastermind of the Spirit Army, for Kaede Hattori.

    Reward: 3000 experience points

    Punishment: None

    ¡°Oh?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes brightened, ¡°This mission is worth so many experience points, but...¡± He looked at the burning exmation mark that was still floating above Kaede Hattori¡¯s head which meant that Zhao Yao had still not received that mission.

    Zhao Yao asked again, ¡°Do you have other missions?¡±

    ¡°Other missions?¡± Kaede Hattori¡¯s eyes shed with vengeance, ¡°Let me give you a long term mission. Find out who hurt my younger brother.¡±

    ¡°Hurt your younger brother?¡± Zhao Yao was puzzled for a moment before he realized what had happened, ¡°F*ck, that means his penis really exploded? Who could be so ruthless?¡±

    Mission: Find Diao Bao

    Mission Objective: Find out the real identity of the criminal Diao Bao and tell Kaede Hattori.

    Reward: 3000 experience points

    Punishment: None

    ¡°Wow, both missions are worth 3000 experience points?¡± Zhao Yao was excited. A burning exmation mark was indeed different, giving him two big missions at once. Zhao Yao raised his head and stared at the burning exmation mark again. It was still there above Kaede Hattori¡¯s head which dissatisfied Zhao Yao.

    ¡°What mission is that? The special missionst time had a bag of royal catmint as a reward. What would it be this time?¡±

    No matter how many times Zhao Yao asked, Kaede Hattori did not need his help. Zhao Yao could only leave at this point and resolved to think of another opportunity to get that special mission.

    However, the Special Higher Police started moving after a few minutes and attacked the base of the Spirit Army in the mountains.

    The Spirit Army was much weaker than the Special Higher Police, but given their ability to be re-created even after being destroyed, the Special Higher Police refrained from attacking them recklessly.

    However, the elite forces within the Spirit Army had been wiped out by Bai Quan. This gave the Special Higher Police the upper hand were they to attack them this moment. True to form, the Special Higher Police wiped out the spirits with ease. The Spirit Army was no match for them.

    The Special Higher Police fought their way in without much trouble and reached the depths of the base in no time, surrounding Momo and the remaining spirits.

    This was a moment of life and death. Momo cast her ultimate skill ¨C Throwing Money.

    Boxes after boxes of Japanese money were thrown around. The whole Special Higher Police was captivated by the sight. Some police officers thoughtlessly bent down to pick up the money from the floor.

    But the moment they picked up the money, wisps of ck smoke emanated from their bodies, turning them into spirits.

    Kaede Hattori shouted at the top of his voice, ¡°All of you don¡¯t pick up the money! This is a trap!¡±

    The Special Higher Police stopped immediately upon hearing Kaede Hattori¡¯s words. However, a ck shadow could be seen flying around and picking up all the money that Momo threw out.

    The shadow rushing to pick up money at the front line angered Kaede Hattori to the point that his chest hurt as he bellowed, ¡°Yamada (Zhao Yao was still impersonating him)! Come back here right now!¡±

    Zhao Yao stood up immediately and said as if he was staring down death, ¡°Inspector, let me be the only one to pick up all this money. That way, she will only create one spirit. I shall sacrifice myself!¡±

    Kaede Hattori was stunned by his words. He understood his intentions and so shouted out again, ¡°Police officers! Do not waste this opportunity that Mr. Yamada sacrificed to give us, charge ahead! Catch Momo and wipe out the Spirit Army!¡±

    The Special Higher Police force charged forward with all their might, while Zhao Yao hunched over and focused on picking up all the money.

    As Zhao Yao picked up the money he thought to himself, ¡°D*mn these Japanese people, they¡¯re really good at fighting. They even have a Throwing Money skill.¡± As he spoke, his hands worked even faster to pick up the money.

    Momo meowed in rage. The ten spirits beside her each took out a big box of money and opened it up, revealing rows of neatly bundled Japanese cash.

    Tworge screens surrounding them instantly lit up, portraying in clear detail the amount of money in each box. This was a ploy carefully devised by Momo.

    The ten open boxes captured everyone¡¯s attention. It was as if they radiated rays of golden light.

    Momo meowed and the spirit beside her tranted her screams, ¡°Look here carefully. There is a total of five billion yen which we will throw very soon. It will belong to whoever picks it up.¡±

    Everyone¡¯s breath quickened and Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes became wider. His eyes glinted with greed as he stared intensely at the ten boxes.

    The very idea that five billion yen was about to be thrown at them was incredible.

    Despite knowing that once they picked up the money, they would be turned into spirit soldiers, the sight of the ten boxes tempted them. Five billion in cash was something which all the police officers of the Special Higher Police had never seen in their whole lives.

    Only picking up a fraction of the money in front of them would be enough for them to livefortably for the rest of their lives. Even if they wiped out the whole Spirit Army, their reward would nevere close to five billion yen.

    In the face of such temptation, few could resist.

    It wasn¡¯t just the police officers, even Kaede Hattori was tempted by the huge sum before him. He recovered from this quickly and bellowed, ¡°Everyone, calm down! Whoever picks up the money now will be fired immediately! Even if you pick up the money, it will not be yours once this is over!¡±

    Kaede Hattori¡¯s words had little effect on the now greedy-eyed police officers, who eyed the boxes of money with frenzy. Each of them held onto the belief that there could be now if everyone broke the rules and how a little goes a long way. It would not be a problem as long as they hid the money well, et cetera.

    Momo snickered, narrowing her eyes into thin slits as she meowed.

    One of the spirits tranted and shouted, ¡°There¡¯s no use, Kaede Hattori. No one can withstand the temptation of money. This battle will be your end for sure.¡±

    ¡°Everyone quiet down!¡± Zhao Yao stood up and shouted, ¡°Everyone listen to me. This money is all mine! Don¡¯t be deceived.¡±

    Everyone rolled their eyes at him, even Kaede Hattori. He might as well have said that all the banks in Japan belonged to him.

    ¡°Look at the money if you don¡¯t believe me! My face is printed on all the bills.¡±

    At first, no one believed him, but very soon someone shouted out, ¡°Eh, quick, look at this guys! Yamada¡¯s face is really printed on these notes.¡±

    On the huge screens, every 10 000 yen note had Yamada¡¯s face printed on it. Everyone was baffled.

    ¡°So it¡¯s fake money.¡±

    ¡°Chey, I was excited for nothing.¡±

    The big screens that were designed to tempt people now clearly showed Yamada¡¯s face printed on every note, immediately upsetting the situation.

    This, of course, was because Zhao Yao used his power of illusion.

    Momo frowned and nced at the money in the boxes. The notes were perfectly fine. She couldn¡¯t see any with Yamada¡¯s face printed on them.

    Momo¡¯s eyes glinted sharply, ¡°Hmph, did someone manipte the images on the screen?¡± She smiled bitterly, ¡°Throw them the money. I don¡¯t believe that they won¡¯t pick it up.¡±

    The ten boxes of money were flipped out and five billion yen flew down from the sky. It was snowing money all around the Special Higher Police.

    The police officers did not care about the money at all. They had deemed it to be fake and charged forward to strike at Kaede Hattori¡¯smand.

    Only Zhao Yao snuck around picking up the money, collecting huge amounts of cash in his extradimensional belly.

    Momo was burning with rage at the sight before her. ¡°These Special Higher Police officers, are they all idiots? They don¡¯t even want money?¡±

    With the Special Higher Police charging towards them, she had no choice but tomand, ¡°Attack! Chase them back to where they came from!¡±

    Thousands of spirits howled in unison. Both sides collided viciously with each other. All sorts of bullets, fire, force fields and invisible power waves flew all over the ce as chaos ensued.

    Zhao Yao happily collected the money strewn all over the ground. When he saw the chaotic fighting going on, he froze time for a bit and collected it all in a sh.

    ¡°Hahahaha, five billion yen. If I convert to RMB, it should be around 200-300 million RMB. Japanese people are so generous in their fights.¡± Looking at the fight before him, Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°No, at this rate, won¡¯t the Spirit Army lose? No matter what, I took five billion yen from them. I should make them a little happy at least.¡±

    He activated his invisibility powers to walk to the back of the Spirit Army and reach Momo unnoticed. Using the power of illusion, he found Momo¡¯s number very quickly and sent a message to her.

    ¡°I am one of the Special Higher Police officers. Give me 100 million and I will give you the bank ounts of everyone in the Special Higher Police.¡±

    Momo paused for a moment, vaguely suspecting something. Faced with the Spirit Army¡¯s impending loss, she hesitated.

    Zhao Yao sent another message that said, ¡°I can give you one to begin with.¡±

    Momo¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°Send it over.¡±

    Zhao Yao used his power of illusion while holding Momo¡¯s real phone in his hand. The phone in Momo¡¯s hand was an illusion created by Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao watched as Momo used the fake phone and synchronized her actions with his on the real phone so that the transaction went smoothly.

    Sadly, Momo had already withdrawn a lot of the money in this ount. She had left only around 300 million yen, which Zhao Yao transferred out all at once.

    Momo managed to break out of the illusion. When she regained her senses, she realized that all the money in her ount was missing.

    Her face broke with rage. She started texting madly, ¡°You stole all my money? Who on earth are you?¡±

    ¡°I am Lei Feng, a rich man¡¯s porter.¡±

    Among the supercats in supercat armor who had witnessed the scene, Elizabeth pursed her lips and said, ¡°Shameless.¡±

    Ares nodded, ¡°B*stard.¡±

    Roly Poly, eyes gleaming, remarked with admiration, ¡°Zhao Yao, you are amazing.¡±

    Zhao Yao was ted. ¡°Of course, if I were born 20 years earlier, swindling enough money to start my own Alibaba would be no sweat for me as well.¡±

    Matcha hugged Zhao Yao¡¯s thigh and praised, ¡°Zhao Yao, you are such a talented crook. China is lucky to have a gem like you.¡±

    Roly Poly could not stand how Matcha beat her to praising Zhao Yao and starteduding him as well, ¡°Zhao Yao, with you in our country, it¡¯s like we¡¯re 30 ahead of our time.¡±

    ¡°Hahahaha,¡± Zhao Yao waved his hand and said, ¡°That¡¯s too exaggerated. It would at most be five years.¡± He stroked Matcha and Roly Poly with satisfaction and said, ¡°Those who are here all get a share of the money. When we¡¯re back, each of you will get a fat red packet.¡±

    Now not only Matcha and Roly Poly but even Elizabeth and Ares jumped with joy and started praising Zhao Yao as well.

    Momo hollered at the big screens, ¡°Return my money to me!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t be angry. Think about it carefully. Although you just lost 300 million, when the Special Higher Police raids your house they will have 300 million less to keep. Doesn¡¯t that make you happier?¡± Zhao Yao replied in his next message as he walked back to the battlefield.

    ¡°F*ck!¡± Momo smashed the phone on the floor. She watched as the Spirit Army retreated in defeat. As if it would salvage the current situation, she screamed out in rage and unleashed her ability to create spirits.

    Momo thought to herself, ¡°Hopefully those Special Higher Police officers are only pretending not to take the money. When they fought, most of them should have taken some.¡±

    Momo was delighted to see that she was right. An immensely strong ck force rushed upwards, flying past her and creating a ball of force that bubbled as if something was hatching inside it.

    ¡°Sess! Hahahaha...¡± Momoughed hysterically, ¡°Special Higher Police, hah, nothing but a bunch of fake gentlemen.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the ck smokeing out of his body and said with some excitement, ¡°My doppelganger must be really powerful.¡±

    Seeing this, Kaede Hattori red at his subordinates, thinking that some of them secretly took the money.

    Kaede Hattori was seen stamping the ground viciously. Divine blood-red rays rippled out in all directions from where his foot hit the ground.

    Divine Rays of Terror activated!

    This was the ability Kaede Hattori possessed. He could use his rays of terror to generate different types of magical powers that could serve as attacks. The greater the number of people who feared him, the greater the strength of his power.

    This was the power the Hattori family painstakingly chose for him, costing them many human and material resources. However, they were not spent in vain as this power was perfect for him.

    In the first ce, a thing like terror is difficult for normal people to amass. This was nheless, an easy feat for the eldest son of the Hattori family.

    Power, wealth and the numerous battles with the Special Higher Police had very quickly rendered Kaede Hattori infamous. Countless apostles and supercats both feared and admired him.

    The more battles he fought, the more supercats and apostles he defeated. The more he defeated, the more famous he became, and the more people feared him. His fighting prowess became stronger as well. It was a perfect cycle. As long as he was victorious, he could only get stronger with each victory.

    On the other hand, the supercats who lent him their abilities would not be stronger. Only Kaede Hattori could grow in strength so he would not have to worry about them biting back at him.

    The Divine Rays of Terror shot out. Using fear as its fuel, it made all who came into contact with the blood-red rays shudder with thoughts of terror, scream, fall down and back away from the rays.

    Under the Divine Rays of Terror, there was no distinction between friend and foe.

    The Special Higher Police force broke down at once and the spirits that stood next to them shrieked and backed off, defeated as well.

    ¡°This... resembles the power of illusion?¡± Zhao Yao watched the screaming mob around him and raised his eyebrows slightly. However, he had already activated the supercat armor since he left the hotel in search of missions.

    At this moment Ares was on his shoulder, creating an invisible barrier around Zhao Yao and deflecting the Divine Rays of Terror that wereing from all directions.

    Momoughed hysterically, meowing as a spirit tranted for her, ¡°Hahahaha, that idiot, once he¡¯s sent out those rays, even if his officers can¡¯t pick up money, they will not be able to fight anymore.¡±

    The police officers who were attacked by the Divine Rays of Terror looked like they were going crazy. They could not even stand on their feet, let alone fight.

    The bubbling ck force which Momo had summoned previously gathered in front of her. It was churning into a huge ck ball, bouncing around vigorously and emanating an intimidating aura.

    ¡°What strong spirit power!¡± Momo gasped in astonishment, ¡°These Special Higher Police forces must have taken a lot of my money.¡±

    Looking at Kaede Hattori at the far end of the battlefield, Momoughed at him scornfully, ¡°Your men have lost all their ability to fight, but my spirits are increasing in numbers. Kaede Hattori, you are doomed for this battle!¡±

    Despite Momo¡¯s sarcastic remarks, Kaede Hattori just smiled dryly, slowly taking off his jacket, revealing his strong, bulging muscles.

    ¡°You are the idiot,¡± Kaede Hattori said calmly, ¡°The cycle has already started.¡±

    Under the Divine Rays of Terror, the hundreds of police officers and the thousands of spirits from the Spirit Army had fallen into hysteria. Their emotions churned into waves of immense power that rushed into Kaede Hattori¡¯s body, bing his source of power.

    Kaede Hattori took a deep breath and smiled with satisfaction, ¡°Momo, if there weren¡¯t so many people in the government holding me back, I would have rushed here to catch you myself long ago.¡±

    While he was talking, the terror had turned into rays of blood-red light that cloaked his body like a robe.

    ¡°Now...¡± Kaede Hattori let out a longugh, and walked towards Momo with big steps, ¡°Feel the terror unleash!¡±

    ¡°Stop him!¡± Momo screamed.

    The spirits that had protected Momo since the start of the battle mobilized around her. Among them, two apostle spirits charged towards Kaede Hattori with a fiery inferno.

    Faced with an impending surge of spirits, Kaede Hattori let out a coldugh. He pointed a finger at them and shot out a blood-redser beam that swept across the spirits.

    Burned by the beam, the spirits screamed in agony as if they saw the most terrifying thing in the world. They flew off in all directions in the blink of an eye. None of them dared to stand in the way of Kaede Hattori.

    He red and a blood-red ray shed in his eyes, scaring off the ten spirits overhead that came, scattering like mice from a cat.

    On the ground, dozens of spirit ws reached out in unison to grab Kaede Hattori¡¯s ankles. But they were not even close to him when the blood-red robe of light on his body shed. The spirits howled out in agony and retreated back into the ground in fear.

    Kaede Hattori was like a blood-red sword, cutting right through the Spirit Army. Those whom he cut across all fled for safety. Not a single one of them was a match for him.

    As more and more spirits feared him, it provided him with more power. The blood-red light on his body became thicker and shone more intensely. Even from afar, the sight of him sent chills down people¡¯s spines.

    The Divine Rays of Terror sted out in all directions, scattering the spirits that were in their way. None of them were a match for Kaede Hattori.

    ¡°Kaede Hattori... How is he so powerful? No wonder people call him a one-man army. His Divine Rays of Terror are actually that powerful?¡±

    Though Momo watched him from afar, the sight of the blood-red rays on his body was enough to make her quiver fearfully. She wanted to escape that very instant and could only imagine how terrified the spirits had felt when they came into direct contact with Kaede Hattori.

    Normal spirits could never be his match. Only apostle spirits, who were much stronger, stood a chance against him.

    At the thought of this, Momo already looked defeated. Her strongest apostle spirits were destroyed by Bai Quan. If ming Orchid Devil, Divine Gun, and Sword Spirit were here, they would definitely be able to defeat Kaede Hattori.

    If the numbers of the Spirit Army wererge enough, it would have been possible to neutralize Kaede Hattori¡¯s superpower.

    Sadly, Momo had no more powerful subordinates left and the strength of the Spirit Army had beenrgely depleted after two consecutive battles. Kaede Hattori had chosen the best opportunity to strike.

    Looking at the ck force in front of her that bubbled with the regrity of a beating heart, Momo felt that victory was no longer in her hands.

    Her ability to create spirits allowed her to draw out a part of the debtor¡¯s soul in order to create a spirit with strong powers. The more money a debtor owed, the more innate power that spirit had.

    Momo had estimated that the police officers would pick up more than one billion, so the spirits created would certainly be very strong. She believed that the spirits created from the Special Higher Policebined with the spirits she already had under her control would definitely have given her the upper hand.

    But seeing how Kaede Hattori wiped out the whole Special Higher Police with his Divine Rays of Terror, Momo realized that even if she drew all the souls of the Special Higher Police to create her Spirit Army, they would still be no match for Kaede Hattori.

    Upon reflection, fleeing seemed to be the best way out.

    ¡°Despicable.¡± Momo was one of the supercats with the most resolve. Though she did not want to flee, she had no other choice but to give up her base.

    An idea came to her mind. The remaining spirits gathered in front of her. They surrounded her, forming a shield as she nned to escape from the back.

    Although the spirits she created had the powers of invisibility and shape-shifting, Momo had none of those powers. She was a living being and could only run away on her feet like a normal cat.

    Momo had barely fled more than 10 meters before she ran straight into a wall. She saw Cannon covered in injuries like a zombie cat. He opened his mouth and spat out a few maggots before pouncing towards her.

    Ah!! Momo shrieked in terror and fell to the ground, crawling back a couple meters.

    At the spot where she bumped into the wall, a ray of blood-red light floated in the air.

    Momo turned pale and said, ¡°Kaede Hattori, you blocked my escape route?¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡±

    Boom! Blood-redser beams shot out from Kaede Hattori¡¯s eyes, defeating thest remaining spirits that were in his way.

    All that was left standing between Kaede Hattori and Momo was the ck ball of force that was still forming. There were no other spirits left.

    The blood-red robe around Kaede Hattori had be so thick it started to turn purple. It looked as if a mass of blood had coagted around him. It flowed nonstop, emitting an intense bloody smell that pervaded everyone¡¯s senses.

    At the sight of this blood-red robe, Momo was terrified beyond words. She trembled, paralyzed by fear.

    ¡°Momo, you have already lost.¡±

    Kaede Hattori let out a coldugh and took slow steps towards Momo. He extended his hand while reaching out to grab her by the head.

    However, right at this moment, the ck ball of force that was still forming vanished. It revealed the shadow of a person who raised his hand and grabbed Kaede Hattori by the wrist.

    Kaede Hattori turned and saw a ck-haired, ck-eyed young man squinting at him.

    ¡°Is this the spirit created from the souls taken from the Special Higher Police? It¡¯s only one person? Why do I not remember seeing him in the Special Higher Police?¡± Kaede Hattori was puzzled for a moment. He then shot blood-redser beams from his eyes which pierced the eyes of the spirit directly.

    However, the Divine Rays of Terror, that had destroyed everything in their path until now, were like a y ox entering the sea. They disappeared into the depths of the eyes of the spirit and had no effect on it.

    Kaede Hattori was shocked as the spirit opened his mouth and said slowly, ¡°Could you do me a favor and stop being so insistent?¡±

    ¡°Ridiculous.¡±

    Kaede Hattori scoffed. Blood-red rays emanated from his body as he raised his foot and kicked the chest of the spirit with a loud thud. As if a train collided with a truck, enormous waves of force sted out from the point of contact. Large cracks snaked through the ground at the same time.

    Kaede Hattori¡¯s Divine Rays of Terror could not only incite fear in a living body but could also be used to interfere with reality, causing physical damage.

    Unleashing and amassing terror were very simple and did not require much effort as both were basic skills achieved through the Divine Rays of Terror.

    However, interfering with reality expended a lot of energy as it caused physical damage. For that reason, Kaede Hattori rarely did so.

    But this was not the first time he met an opponent who was not afraid of his Divine Rays of Terror. Usually, when it came to that, he would roll up his sleeves and take out the opponent with his own hands.

    This time, his opponent was left totally unharmed while Kaede Hattori had to take a few steps back. He stared at his opponent in disbelief.

    Yamada, who was Zhao Yao in disguise, rushed over to Kaede Hattori. He excitedly observed the newly created spirit with some curiosity.

    ¡°Is this the spirit created from my soul?¡± Zhao Yao observed the features of the spirit carefully and thought to himself, ¡°He¡¯s not as handsome as me though.¡±

    When she saw how Kaede Hattori was forced to retreat after a single blow, Momo was also excited, ¡°Nice one!¡± She pointed to Kaede Hattori and said, ¡°Go on, finish him off!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s spirit suddenly yawned andy down on the ground, ¡°That¡¯s too much effort. Let¡¯s take a break for today and stop fighting, okay? I will make it up for you tomorrow with two fights.¡±

    Zhao Yao was speechless.

    ¡°That¡¯s weird,¡± Matcha remarked, ¡°This spirit is so simr to Zhao Yao!¡±

    Elizabeth, Ares, and the others nodded their heads in unison, ¡°They look exactly alike. The spirit doesck a bit of charm.¡±

    Hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s spirit¡¯s words, Momo burst out enraged, ¡°That¡¯s our enemy! Enemy! Do you get it? If you don¡¯t kill him, he will kill us!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s spirit nced at her, ¡°At best, he¡¯ll finish you off. He won¡¯t be able to kill me.¡± Suddenly, his eyes brightened as he said to Kaede Hattori, ¡°Hey, what about if I just sold this d*mn cat to you?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s it,¡± Matcha pointed to Zhao Yao¡¯s spirit excitedly, ¡°It¡¯s exactly the same! The spirit is just like you...¡±

    Bam! Matcha fell t on the ground after Zhao Yao pped him.

    After hearing these words from Zhao Yao¡¯s spirit, Kaede Hattori¡¯s gaze shimmered with two blood rays. He coldly said, ¡°With such arrogance, you shall witness the true strength of the powerful.¡±

    In the next moment, from his body, a more violent st of the Divine Rays of Terror erupted in all directions.

    Whatever the rays touched, a series of ghostly wailing ensued. Numerous warriors, on the verge of copse, broke into terrible wails as Kaede Hattori used them to generate even more terror energy.

    Looking at the fearless Zhao Yao standing in the midst of the battlefield, Kaede Hattori nodded his head as he said, ¡°Mr. Yamada, you are pretty good.¡±

    After which, he red at both Zhao Yao¡¯s spirit and Momo and said, ¡°Help me watch Momo. Do not let her escape. Let me teach this arrogant spirit a lesson so that he will know true power.¡±

    ¡°You are the first person to experience this move.¡±

    The entire battlefield grew dimmer and a downpour of bloody rain fell from the sky. Thick crimson blood oozed from the ground. Countless mournful cries rang out from the void.

    Not only did Kaede Hattori use the terror energy from the current battlefield, but he also used the terror energy he had umted from all his previous battle encounters and missions to create a final mass of explosive energy.

    The overflow of terror energy distorted reality, causing the blood rain and wailing spirits.

    Zhao Yao was shocked by the scene. He knelt down and touched the oozing blood. It was real; the blood was real.

    Zhao Yao was surprised. ¡°Such power... the Divine Rays of Terror of Kaede Hattori are really powerful.¡±

    However, the blood rain and the wailing spirits were only the beginning. Due to the Hattori n¡¯s control over half of the Japanese supernatural world, Kaede Hattori had umted an astronomical amount of terror energy. Before he showed his full prowess, no one coulde close to figuring out how powerful he was.

    This sudden outburst of terror energy transformed Kaede Hattori¡¯s inner fears into external realities. Reality was warped. He had superimposed his internal world onto the external world.

    All his internalized fear was the result of umting terror energy and originated from the fears people held in their minds.

    Reality grew even more warped. In the midst of the blood rain, spirits and demons from Japanese legends, such as Daitengu, Yamabiko, Yamawaro, Drumbeat Marquis, appeared out of nowhere.

    Countless dead hands emerged from the ground, forming a zombie army.

    Behind the crimson red clouds, numerousrge and strange shadowy figures materialized. Their forms were indistinguishable. Countless tentacles tore up the clouds, swaying in the sky.

    The unleashing of the terror energy had warped the world into a strange demonic realm. Momo and the supercats on Zhao Yao¡¯s side shook uncontrobly.

    Even Zhao Yao felt uneasy. Even without the influence of the Divine Rays of Terror, the demons were terrifying.

    In this terrifying world, the more fearful people were, the greater the strange powers became.

    Surrounded by myriad strange creatures and energy, Kaede Hattori pointed at Zhao Yao¡¯s distant spirit andmanded, ¡°Crush him.¡±

    Countless spirits and demons rushed towards Zhao Yao¡¯s spirit.

    Zombies and ghostly figures pounced on him and started biting, whilerge powerful demons attacked him with various magic spells.

    In the sky, the huge shadowy figures emanated weird crimson rays. Upon contact with the crimson rays, Zhao Yao felt a deep sense of terror that permeated his bones.

    Normally, his Deflective Field protected him from most terror. He did not sumb to fear like normal people.

    This meant that in its present state, his Deflective Field was unable to defend him against the Divine Rays of Terror.

    The Deflective Field had its upper limit. The current power level of the Divine Rays of Terror had superseded this upper limit as it consisted of terror energy umted from tens of thousands of Japanese people.

    Braced against the astonishing attack, Zhao Yao¡¯s spirit flickered and an invisible force surrounded his body. He waved his hand and tore up a row of zombies. Dodging, he escaped the vicious bite of arge serpent.

    ¡°Hmm... the spirit seems to have my Time Freeze and Deflective Field abilities.¡± Zhao Yao was sizing up his opponent and silently contemting, ¡°However, the duration of the Time Freeze and the power of the Deflective Field have not reached my level.¡±

    Kaede Hattori rapidly increased in size and demonic horns sprouted from his head.

    He raised and waved his hand, transforming the terror energy into a blood-colored whip that materialized in his hands. The whip moved like a crimson dragon rolling in the air. From it, radiated cracking explosive sounds. He looked like the demon god from Hell and exuded a frightening aura.

    The demonic creatures originated from the fear in everyone¡¯s hearts. The most fearful of all was actually Kaede Hattori himself.

    Kaede Hattori was the ultimate source of his own power.

    ¡°This guy... looks like he¡¯s dealt with whish before.¡± Zhao Yao was very convinced after witnessing Kaede Hattori¡¯s imposing aura.

    The whip in Kaede Hattori¡¯s hand became like an agile rain dragon. Sweeping horizontally and snaking distortedly, itshed down on the spirits and swept all of them down to the ground.

    The spirits howled in pain and retreated immediately. Kaede Hattori sneered and the blood whip extended from his hand, bringing with it countless blood shadows and dragging them towards Zhao Yao spirit.

    ¡°His Deflective Field was not as powerful as mine. Previously, it was unaffected by the Divine Rays of Terror. Lashed by a whip with highly concentrated terror energy, damaged it more than mine.¡±

    Onceshed by the blood whip, Zhao Yao¡¯s spirit became confused and panicked. The situation was worsened by the attack of the demons. Even if Zhao Yao¡¯s spirit had had a portion of the Time Freeze and Deflective Field ability he did, he would sumb in no time.

    Finally, after being dealt a fatalsh by Kaede Hattori, the terror energy burst open his body with full force. Bam! Zhao Yao¡¯s spirit exploded.

    Kaede Hattori exuded confidence and gave a satisfied smile. ¡°Very good, the effect of the Terror Field is more powerful than what I expected. In all of Japan, there are no apostles more powerful than I am.¡±

    He turned his head in Momo¡¯s direction and saw Yamada (Zhao Yao) holding Momo in one hand, walking towards him. Zhao Yao had captured Momo using Time Freeze during themotion.

    After clearing the blood rays, Kaede Hattori smiled with the corners of his mouth and took Momo from Yamada (Zhao Yao). ¡°Excellent, Yamada, you did very well. After I have reported thepletion of my mission, I will reward you.¡±

    The strange rays, rain, and demons disappeared from the universe without a trace, as if they had never happened at all.

    Zhao Yao also smiled happily. Having captured and handed over Momo, he hadpleted another task which earned him six thousand experience points. His level had be Book: Level 6 (40002/20000).

    ¡°Good, this is enough for me to upgrade Elizabeth.¡±

    Zhao Yao quickly asked Kaede Hattori, ¡°Officer Hattori, do you need help in other matters?¡±

    Unfortunately, there were no new tasks. Zhao Yao stared at the fiery exmation mark above Kaede Hattori¡¯s head and thought to himself, ¡°Perhaps I have toplete my previous task before being assigned this task?¡±

    Zhao Yao began to scrutinize the task concerning Criminal Diao Bao, vowing to capture the criminal.

    In the middle of the distant forest, Hideki Kujyo calmly looked in the direction of the battlefield. He sized it up as if weighing the pros and cons of his next move.

    At his side, arge samurai-d figure spoke, ¡°Not making your move? If we do not rescue Momo now, the price that we are going to pay will be higher.¡±

    ¡°Kaede Hattori is much more powerful than hearsay.¡± Hideki Kujyo furrowed his brows and looked towards Mr. Yamada as he said, ¡°My intuition tells me that something is not normal about this guy. Let us withdraw for now.¡±

    Both of them receded silently into the dark shadows.

    The Special Higher Police had achievedplete victory. The opposition of two sides in the Japanese supernatural world had lead to the current world domination by the Special Higher Police.

    Based on the sess and fame achieved through battle, together with the support and influence of the Hattori and Kujyo ns, Kaede Hattori was promoted to the director of Special Higher Police. Kaede Hattori was now a source of both great authority and power. He also enjoyed great fame and glory. He was even named the most powerful apostle in Japan.

    Even the Korean captain that created a huge uproar in Tokyo, cowered under Kaede Hattori¡¯s fame and disappeared without a trace.

    And Mr. Yamada, who Zhao Yao was impersonating, had emerged as a hero due to his active performance on the battlefield. As he was found sleeping in the forest after the battle, people had named him ¡°Slumbering Yamada¡±.

    ...

    After the battle between the Special Higher Police and Spirit Army, Zhao Yao did not masquerade as the wandering Korean captain. Instead, he began investigating the whereabouts of the criminal Diao Bao.

    At nightfall, inside the Extradimensional belly, Matcha followed Cannon. His face humbly sought tutge. ¡°Cannon, please teach me the art of picking up female cats.¡±

    Ever since Matcha had heard that ferocious Momo had hooked up with Cannon, his respect for Cannon was greatly increased.

    Although he had already learned how to pick up female cats from Fish Ball, he hadn¡¯t had much sess. Matcha believed that Fish Ball¡¯s standards were too low. If he had a better instructor, he would be able to exhibit his full potential.

    He thought to himself, ¡°Out of the six units, Dust Ball and Elizabeth are both females. If I manage to seduce them, won¡¯t I be able to take over two units? There are many otakus who like Elizabeth. If I manage to seduce her, will I not be overwhelmed with pleasure?¡±

    Matcha had thought about using Time Freeze on Elizabeth. After considering her fighting skills, he thought it was better to be steady and cautious.

    Cannon shook his head impatiently. ¡°You are a domestic tabby. You will never master my skills.¡±

    ¡°I will learn from you, diligently!¡± Matcha hugged Cannon¡¯s rear leg and said, ¡°I may look like an ordinary domestic tabby but I am thest surviving member of the Jianghai Royal Scottish Fold. My ancestors can be traced back to five thousand years ago. The first cat to be domesticated by the Chinese came from my family line.

    Cannon rolled his eyes, shaking his rear leg and said, ¡°Release your w.¡±

    ¡°No, please. I beg you...¡± Matcha hugged Cannon¡¯s rear leg, begging for his tutge. Abruptly, as if he saw something, his face showed astonishment.

    Vexed, Cannon sighed. Suppressing his heartfelt pride, he said dully, ¡°Forget it. It seems like I am left with no choice but to show you.¡± He twitched his rear leg as he talked so that Matcha could have a better view. ¡°This is my way of seducing female cats: A strong body. You will be unable to master this.¡±

    Matcha looked in surprise at the position of Cannon¡¯s rear leg¡¯s tendon and then looked at his own, his face revealing sorrow. ¡°Why the big difference?¡±

    Cannon patted on Matcha¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Thises naturally to me. It cannot be helped. Do you know why I am called Cannon? Because the Italian rotary elerator cannon located at my crotch is able to turn at three thousand rounds and shake four hundred times per second. Those who have experienced it are terrified, unable to forget the scarring experience. That¡¯s where I got my nickname, Cannon. As more people called me Cannon, I eventually forgot my real name.

    Matcha stared at Cannon in amazement. His eyes showed deep admiration. ¡°Cannon, you are amazing! Can you help me improve via intense training?¡±

    Cannon stroked his chin and sighed. ¡°There might be a solution.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s eyes brightened as he asked, ¡°What solution?¡±

    Cannon nced at him and immediately sighed. ¡°This method is too difficult. No cat can do it.¡±

    Matcha immediately grabbed Cannon¡¯s rear leg and said, ¡°No problem, Instructor Cannon, just tell me. I can definitely do it.¡±

    Cannon creased his brows and spoke, ¡°The average tomcatsts 3 seconds.¡±

    Matcha shouted in astonishment, ¡°The average length is three seconds? Are you sure? Is there an error in your calction?¡±

    Cannon cast Matcha a strange nce, puzzled as he said, ¡°What? It cannot be...¡±

    ¡°Mine is approximately three minutes.¡± Matcha spoke in a serious tone, ¡°I did not expect mine to exceed the average by that much! This is too amazing.¡±

    Cannon nodded his head. He scanned the surroundings and whispered into Matcha¡¯s ear, ¡°Three seconds is too short. From what I heard, there is a holy drug in the human world, which after ingestion, makes one as potent as a tiger. Those who normallyst three seconds are able to extend to thirty minutes. That is why humans dominate the world and why their numbers multiply rapidly.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s gaze brightened. His eyes shed with many thoughts. ¡°To think that the humans are hiding such great secret. Eh! Zhao Yao surely knows about such a holy drug.¡±

    Upon seeing Matcha¡¯s thoughtful expression, Cannon felt slightly excited. ¡°Silly Matcha, I want you to find the drug. Once the drug is found, I will be able to reinstate my previous glory and do more illustrious deeds.¡±

    Zhao Yao walked into the Extradimensional belly, shouting, ¡°Lucifer? Come out.¡±

    Matcha remembered the potency of the tiger and immediately ran submissively over to Zhao Yao, hugging and rubbing his thigh.

    Zhao Yao nced at him slightly bothered and asked, ¡°How much money do you want?¡±

    Matcha shook his head violently. ¡°I do not want money. I missed you, Zhao Yao.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes, kicked Matcha aside and hollered, ¡°Lucifer? Come out now! I have big news for you!¡±

    Matcha got up from the ground and crawled over to Zhao Yao, once again hugging his thigh.

    Zhao Yao could not be bothered with him. He walked into each cat dwelling to look for Lucifer.

    In the first cat dwellingy Uncle Egg, inhaling catmint and puffing smoke.

    Zhao Yao walked to the next cat dwelling. Lightning was lying on top of a female cat. After seeing Zhao Yao¡¯s head leaning in, the female cat let out a shrill scream.

    Zhao Yao frowned and walked to the next cat dwelling. He saw a group of royal cat guards hiding inside, secretly ying Mobile Legends.

    After searching the cat dwellings one by one, there was no trace of Lucifer.

    As he was about to give up, the next cat dwelling opened. He saw Ares¡¯ body bounded with tens of steel columns, his mouth stuffed with a ball and a Sphynx cat licking the fur on top of his head meticulously.

    Zhao Yao wanted to exit, however he heard muffled soundsing from Ares¡¯s mouth, that seemed to shout at him. ¡°Zhao Yao! Quickly, take me out. I know where Lucifer is. I will lead you there!¡±

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes and emitted crimson rays that immobilised Sphynx. Then he waved in Ares¡¯ direction and said, ¡°Lead me to Lucifer.¡±

    Ares sighed in relief after seeing Sphynx frozen. The Deflective Field was activated. The steel columns fell from its body. Ares hurriedly exited the cat dwelling.

    Even after leaving, Ares so terrified that his fur couldn¡¯t stop falling.

    ¡°Close shave, almost lost my virginity.¡± Ares quickly licked his fur in order to calm down.

    Zhao Yao frowned, ¡°You can run away once but you cannot avoid it forever. Your fighting prowess is way below Sphynx¡¯s. It is a matter of time before you sumb to him.¡±

    Ares trembled, crying, ¡°What should I do?¡±

    ¡°If resistance is futile, then enjoy it. If you don¡¯t try, how do you know you don¡¯t like it?¡±

    Ares red at Zhao Yao, then muttered, ¡°Why don¡¯t you try it yourself,¡± under his breath.

    Zhao Yao followed Ares as they left the Extradimensional belly to find a small wooden house on Cat Ind. As they neared, they heard screams of pain that seemed toe from a cat.

    The small wooden houses had been rebuilt after Zhao Yao conquered Cat Ind. They were given to cats as dwellings and were filled with many cats. Supercats who could not get used to Extradimensional belly often chose one of the small wooden houses on Cat Ind as their home.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes focused. ¡°This is... Lucifer¡¯s voice?¡±

    Ares sighed, ¡°Yes, Lucifer has unknowingly changed a lot. Lucifer, Gaia, F¨±jin, Rakshasa and I grew up together, but now we have gone off on our own different paths.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and walked towards a small wooden house. He mmed the door open.

    Lucifer¡¯s entire body was bound and hung from the ceiling. On the side, Rakshasashed Lucifer continuously with a whip. With everysh, he cried out in pain. Though it sounded like screams of pain, Lucifer¡¯s face showed deep pleasure.¡±

    ¡°Ah,sh me harder!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t stop! Even harder!¡±

    F¨±jin held a handphone in its mouth, very focused on shooting the scene. While filming, F¨±jin shouted, ¡°Good, that¡¯s good. Lucifer, you can¡¯t only show pleasure, add some suffering. Rakshasa, use more force. Theshes seem very soft.¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned and burying his face in his palms. Taken aback, he hollered furiously, ¡°What are you all doing!?¡±

    Rakshasa jumped with fright. The whip in her mouth fell to the ground and she lowered her head in embarrassment, saying, ¡°It is not me! I am not the one who wanted this. This is Lucifer and F¨±jin¡¯s idea of making money.¡±

    The handphone in F¨±jin¡¯s mouth also fell on the ground and F¨±jin said frightened, ¡°Don¡¯t me me. Diana wanted to see a tomcatsh another tomcat. Afterpleting the shoot, Diana will give us money. I do not know anything.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and said, ¡°Get lost.¡±

    The two cats, like students caught in the arcade by the form teacher, ran away in fear.

    Only Lucifer was left, hanging in mid-air, shouting, ¡°Don¡¯t stop! Continue tosh me!¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head, extended his hand and used the Deflective Field to unbind Lucifer. Pushing Lucifer in front of him, he said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. I need your help with something.¡±

    Ignoring Lucifer¡¯s protests, he dragged him all the way back into Extradimensional belly, to the same location he had entered it.

    Whaty before them was a Japanese hospital. Their reason foring here, ording to Zhao Yao, was to locate Kaede Hattori¡¯s younger brother, Kappei Hattori. He was receiving treatment after his family jewels exploded.

    Above Kaede Hattori¡¯s head, the fire of the burning exmation mark was burning stronger and brighter. Zhao Yao felt tempted.

    No matter how many times he disguised himself as Mr. Yamada to ask for tasks, Kaede Hattori had no intention of seeking his help. Instead, he reminded Zhao Yao to find Diao Bao.

    ording to Zhao Yao¡¯s analysis, he could only gain more of Kaede Hattori¡¯s trust by finding the criminal Diao Bao. Then, and only then, would he be able to receive tasks from the burning exmation mark.

    Zhao Yao spent the next few days vigorously investigating Diao Bao¡¯s trail in vain. Kappei Hattori¡¯s foes, opponents, and coborators all had solid alibis. Even when Zhao Yao used a superpower to interrogate them, the truth remained the same. They did not do the act.

    After a series of futile investigations, Zhao Yao was down to hisst resort: asking Kappei Hattori whether he knew who had attacked him.

    However, Kappei Hattori had been in aa ever since his serious injury. Zhao Yao could not wait for him to awaken. As he was an apostle, he could get Lucifer to lend him his powers so he could awaken Kappei Hattori. Then he could ask him.

    They arrived at the hospital. Under the cover of the power of illusion, they easily sneaked into Kappei Hattori¡¯s ward. Zhao Yao patted Lucifer¡¯s head and said, ¡°Lucifer, lend your regeneration power to this man.¡±

    Lucifer frowned, jumped onto the bed and pressed his paw onto Kappei Hattori¡¯s head. After some time, Lucifer furrowed his brows, puzzled, ¡°I am unable to lend my power over to him.¡±

    ¡°Oh, I almost forgot about this.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes brightened. If the loyalty of his contracted supercats reached one hundred points, they couldn¡¯t lend their power to other apostles.

    Zhao Yao pped Lucifer¡¯s face and said, ¡°Quick, lend him your power.¡±

    Lucifer¡¯s loyalty increased by one point.

    After being pped, Lucifer purred in pleasure and said, ¡°I¡¯m still unable to lend my power.¡±

    ¡°Argh!¡± Zhao Yao pped Lucifer¡¯s face twice and shouted, ¡°D*mn cat, lend your power to him right now!¡±

    Lucifer¡¯s loyalty increased by one point.

    Lucifer¡¯s loyalty increased by one point.

    Lucifer¡¯s loyalty increased by one point.

    Every time Zhao Yao pped him, Lucifer¡¯s loyalty remained at a hundred points. It seemed like it could not be lowered.

    Looking at Lucifer lyingfortably on the ground humming and asionally quivering, Zhao Yao shook his head and said, ¡°What kind of cats do I have under me? This unit is too hard to lead.¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin, thinking of solutions to lower Lucifer¡¯s loyalty.

    Suddenly, his eyes brightened. He activated his powers of illusion, blocked Lucifer¡¯s touch and transformed it into a different feeling.

    Lucifer had closed his eyes and was lyingfortably on the bed. He immediately opened his eyes wide and said astonished, ¡°What happened? What is this feeling?¡±

    ¡°Hehehehe... Lucifer, you are so young, perhaps you have not experienced this before?¡± Zhao Yaoughed heartily. ¡°Your whole body feels uneasy and you would like to let it out. You¡¯ve used all your strength in vain. You seek help, yet are unable to find any...¡±

    ¡°This is called constipation.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, pping Lucifer¡¯s head, ¡°This is what constipation feels like for one day. Now...¡± He pped Lucifer¡¯s head two times.

    ¡°This is two days...¡±

    ¡°Three days.¡±

    ¡°Four days.¡±

    ¡°One week.¡±

    ¡°This is the feeling after half a month.¡±

    ¡°Ooo...¡± Lucifer held his stomach, ring fiercely at Zhao Yao. ¡°Zhao Yao, you are ruthless.¡±

    Lucifer¡¯s loyalty decreased by ten points.

    Zhao Yao grinned with satisfaction. He pointed to the bedridden Kappei Hattori and said, ¡°Quick, lend your power to him. If it works, I will relieve you from the illusion.¡±

    Lucifer hurriedly pressed his paw on Kappei Hattori¡¯s forehead. His regenerative powers flowed like a warm stream and permeated Kappei Hattori¡¯s body.

    As he watched Kappei Hattori¡¯s crotch expand, Zhao Yao smiled in satisfaction. ¡°You did well Lucifer. I will dispel the magic.¡±

    Once the illusion of constipation was lifted, Lucifer¡¯s stomach growled loudly and explosions could be hearding from his stomach. Lucifer looked relieved.

    Zhao Yao looked at the big pile of unidentified objects on Kappei Hattori¡¯s body and said, ¡°What have you done? It is only an illusion, not real constipation.¡±

    Lucifer looked embarrassed. Scratching his head, he said, ¡°I could not help it. The feeling was too real. Once you lifted the illusion, I could not control myself.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes. He noticed Kappei Hattori¡¯s quivering eyelids and shouted immediately, ¡°Come back.¡± After which Lucifer was swallowed back into the Extradimensional belly. Zhao Yao watched Kappei Hattori open his eyes and his mouth moan.

    ¡°Ah!¡± Kappei Hattori felt a series of pleasurable sensations on his body. He had never felt these feelings before. They originated from his lower body and were like soaring in heaven.

    He was awakened by pleasure.

    Lucifer¡¯s regeneration power, together with the toxic side effects of regeneration, had transformed all pain into pleasure. The more pain, the greater the pleasure.

    How much pain was Kappei Hattori feeling? The pain of the explosion of the family jewels was greater than the umtion of all the pain he had felt since birth.

    How much pleasure was Kappei Hattori experiencing? More than all he had experienced since birth.

    Ah! Once the regeneration had ended, Kappei Hattori¡¯s face showed exhaustion. His entire body was sweating profusely. He was so overwhelmed with pleasure that he could not speak.

    Zhao Yao spat out Roly Poly and Old Cat. Roly Poly made Old Cat invisible and Old Cat helped Zhao Yao trante.

    Zhao Yao blinked his eyes. Pressing his head to Kappei Hattori¡¯s forehead, he said, ¡°Greetings Kappei Hattori. I am Yamada. Are you able to answer me?¡±

    ¡°Senior Officer Yamada?¡± Kappei Hattori was able to recognize his brother¡¯s adjutant. Bewildered, he asked, ¡°What happened to me?¡±

    ¡°Your family jewels exploded.¡± Zhao Yao continued while controlling Old Cat, ¡°Are you able to recall anything?¡±

    Kappei Hattori furrowed his brows, recalling in an instant his memories of before thea. His face was drained in terror. He suddenly lifted the nket and looked at his crotch. After that, he exhaled deeply and said, ¡°Am I alright?¡±

    ¡°Yes, I used a superpower to heal you.¡± Zhao Yao patted Kappei Hattori¡¯s shoulders and said, ¡°Can you remember who attacked you?¡±

    ¡°Thank you!¡± Kappei Hattori looked at Zhao Yao with gratitude. Suddenly, he sniffed and discovered the unidentified objects on his bed.

    Zhao Yao immediately responded, ¡°You excreted.¡±

    ¡°But I...¡±

    ¡°Do not be ashamed. As a seriously wounded patient, defecation in bed is perfectly logical and normal.¡±

    ¡°But you...¡±

    ¡°Do not second-guess me. There are only two of us in this ward. If it was not you, perhaps it was me?¡±

    Kappei Hattori looked ashamed and focused instead on answering Zhao Yao¡¯s questions.

    ¡°Who attacked me?¡± He creased his brows and starting thinking. After some time, he shook his head. ¡°I do not know. The great pain came all of a sudden.¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed as Kappei Hattori¡¯s statement was the same as others¡ªcould not see the attacker and a sudden attack of pain.

    Kappei Hattori furrowed his brows as he continued his recollection, ¡°That day, I was looking for a Chinese man called Zhao Yao. I arrived at XXX¡¯s entrance, then a sharp pain came from my bottom half of the body...¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Zhao Yao opened his eyes widely. As he was not versed in Japanese, he could not remember the name of the restaurant where he had eaten that day. He only realized this when Kappei Hattori mentioned its name.

    ¡°Could this man be a victim of Bai Quan...¡±

    After a series of Zhao Yao¡¯s questions, it was finally confirmed that Kappei Hattori went to the same restaurant that Nanako and Zhao Yao had met for lunch and...

    ¡°This man was Nanako¡¯s fianc¨¦? Bai Quan busted the family jewels of Nanako¡¯s fianc¨¦?¡± Zhao Yao was shaken. He trembled and shook violently. ¡°I must not let Nanako know about this.¡±

    After finally establishing the actual perpetrator, Zhao Yao spat out Elizabeth¡¯s family and carried Catherine in his hands. He turned towards Kappei Hattori and shouted, ¡°Look here. That¡¯s right. Look at the body of this cat, well done.¡±

    Once Kappei Hattori was unconscious, Zhao Yao faced Caesar and said, ¡°Wipe his memories of the past 5 minutes.¡±

    Once this was done, Zhao Yao started thinking about aplishing the Criminal Diao Bao task.

    The news of Kappei Hattori¡¯s recovery reached the Hattori n on the same day and a jubnt celebration was held.

    ...

    At night, in a high-ss club.

    Kappei Hattori arrived at the club in a hurry afterpleting his body examination and ensuring that all his organs were functional. He wanted to see if his strength had deteriorated.

    However, after testing, he shouted in fury and chased all women out.

    Sitting on his huge bed, Kappei Hattori looked at his body. His eyes were bewildered. ¡°Why? Why are the feelings that I have not as pleasurable as before?¡±

    Even after his memories were wiped, the pleasure that he had felt while under regeneration was deeply engraved in his muscle memory.

    After experiencing the pinnacle of pleasure, Kappei Hattori was no longer interested in mundane pleasure.

    When he was scrutinizing his body, his mind suddenly had an idea.

    ¡°Cut it off with a knife...¡± Kappei Hattori shivered. ¡°No, how can I have such a foolish idea?¡±

    However, his body reacted with waves of anticipation, pushing him to test it out.

    He could not resist punching his crotch. Pleasure reverberated through his body. His eyes were almost all white.

    Once the pleasure had passed, his face showed a sense of remorse. ¡°Why? How did I be like this? God, what had you done to me?¡±

    After that, he gave himself another punch.

    That night, the entire club interior echoed with the hollering of Kappei Hattori.

    ...

    Zhao Yao was not aware of Kappei Hattori¡¯s changes. He was thinking about how toplete his next task. To aplish this task, he had to inform Kaede Hattori that the perpetrator was Bai Quan. That in itself was a sticky problem.

    ¡°Investigate the identity of the criminal Diao Bao, then inform Kaede Hattori.¡±

    Zhao Yao gazed at the tasks on his task panel and felt a wave of helplessness rise.

    Until now, thepletion of the task had been simple. Zhao Yao had only needed to seek out Kaede Hattori to understand the situation.

    However, tying up loose ends was a troublesome affair. The Hattori n was one of Japan¡¯s super huge ns. With Kaede Hattori¡¯s defeat of the Spirit Army and his position as director of Special Higher Police, the power and influence of both Kaede Hattori and his n grew daily.

    Though Zhao Yao was not afraid, once this kind of opponent set their sights on both him and Bai Quan, it would be an endless source of trouble.

    Even if Zhao Yao were to harden his heart, he could never be despicable to the point of exterminating the Hattori n. The n had not really provoked him. It would be morally wrong for him to wipe them out. On top of that, Kappei Hattori was Nanako¡¯s fianc¨¦. He would not be able to face Nanako in the future.

    The more he contemted the situation, the more vexed he became. Suddenly, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes brightened. ¡°Could I not erase their memories afterpleting the task? Would he not remember that I hadpleted the task if the memories were erased? Would I be able to unlock the burning exmation mark? Perhaps I should erase his memories after receiving the task from burning exmation mark? Will that affect future tasks?¡±

    Zhao Yao went into deep thinking.

    As he was lying down on the sofa of the Extradimensional belly, an orange cat stealthily ran to his side and jumped into his arms loudly. The cat butted its hairy head against Zhao Yao¡¯s stomach.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Zhao Yao caressed Matcha¡¯s head. He was very puzzled and said, ¡°Tell me directly. Do not beat around the bush.¡±

    Matcha stared at Zhao Yao with his big eyes and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, you¡¯re so smart. You have me all figured out.¡±

    ¡°Nonsense, do I not understand you well?¡± Zhao Yao pointed at Matcha¡¯s chest and stomach and said, ¡°I know whether you are urinating or removing your bowels by the mere up-flick of your tail. Tell me. What is it? ¡±

    Matcha lowered his head in embarrassment. ¡°It¡¯s... It¡¯s that.¡±

    ¡°What is it?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s you human beings, you know. You humans frequently consume that thing.¡± Matcha said, embarrassed,¡±To be faster, bigger andst longer after ingesting it.¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°Perhaps you have some misunderstanding about us humans.¡±

    ¡°Eh? Zhao Yao, don¡¯t you know? There¡¯s a... a holy human drug that can prolong the duration of the spell.¡± Matcha nced at Zhao Yao briefly.

    Zhao Yao pped Matcha and shouted furiously, ¡°Do you think I require such a drug? My constitution is pretty strong and does not need such a drug. I don¡¯t know what drug you are referring to.¡±

    ¡°Get lost! You get lost!¡±

    Matcha fled, dejected and with his tail between his legs. He was utterly disappointed. ¡°Zhao Yao was so petty. He could not even share the good stuff.¡±

    After chasing Matcha away, Zhao Yao thought that erasing memories afterpleting the task was worth a try. ¡°I have to find the right opportunity since Kaede Hattori is powerful and always closely protected by Special Higher Police officers. They¡¯ve captured Momo and Momo knows Cannon and Bai Quan. If the investigation continues, given all the government is capable of, it¡¯s a matter of time before the truth is uncovered. Let me sort this out...¡±

    ...

    At the Special Higher Police office, Kaede Hattori sat behind his table and scrutinized the documents.

    Hideki Kujyo, who was also Nanako¡¯s brother, sat on the side sofa with a serious face. The Kujyo n was currently the leading n.

    The office rang with the sound of the photocopier machine printing something. Hideki Kujyo controlled his breathing carefully. He seemed afraid to break the silence.

    He didn¡¯t intend to. It was Kaede Hattori¡¯s powerful presence that caused him to do so subconsciously.

    After realizing this, Hideki Kujyo¡¯s eyes shed with unnoticeable fury.

    He gazed deeply at Kaede Hattori and thought to himself, ¡°This man is bing more powerful. Is it because of the Divine Rays of Terror? The defeat of the Spirit Army has given him more fame and power. His every movement, even the most subtle, is able to cause an uproar.¡±

    Hideki Kujyo felt the oppressive and powerful presence. He almost could not breathe.

    At this thought, Hideki Kujyo shut his eyes. ¡°If I were to make my move against him, I would have to handle extreme fear. If it continued, that man would be invincible... I have to find a way to stop him in his tracks so that people will stop fearing him.¡±

    While Hideki Kujyo was lost in his thoughts, Kaede Hattori, who sat behind the office table, stopped perusing his documents. He lifted his head, leveled his gaze on Hideki Kujyo and said, ¡°Apologies Hideki, to have you kept you waiting. Come over here so we can discuss.¡±

    Hideki Kujyo smiled gracefully, stood up and sat in front of Kaede Hattori. He said smiling, ¡°You are the leader of the Special Higher Police, the apex of Japan¡¯s supernatural forces, I can imagine how busy you are.¡±

    ¡°The higher the position, the heavier the responsibilities.¡± Kaede Hattori continued, ¡°The current international situation is highly unpredictable. Progress in the supernatural world increases by the day. In order not to be obsolete, one has to seek continuous progress as well.

    Since I have already consolidated the power of the Special Higher Police, my next move will be to strengthen the entire Japanese supernatural power. This will take me three months. After which I will be qualified to pit against the Americans and Chinese and gain more supernatural resources in order to overtake them at the next crucial turn...¡±

    Kaede Hattori spoke fervently and Hideki Kujyo added a few of his words. After that, both of them discussed the coboration between the Hattori and Kujyo ns. Kaede Hattori suddenly asked, ¡°How is the preparation for Nanako and Kappei¡¯s weddinging along?¡±

    Hideki Kujyo nodded his head and said, ¡°We¡¯ve already chosen a date and location. About three months ago, I assigned the detailed preparations to Sylvie...¡±

    Kaede Hattori beckoned with his hand, ¡°Too slow, have it next week.¡±

    Hideki Kujyo was taken aback. ¡°But...¡±

    ¡°Hideki, the wedding is just a formality. There¡¯s no need for extravagant preparations. We only need to show the union of our ns, that suffices.¡± Kaede Hattori¡¯s eyes shed with unfathomable brilliance. ¡°This will be more beneficial for my strengthening of the supernatural world. Do you have any other requests?¡±

    ¡°I understand.¡± Hideki Kujyo¡¯s gaze slightly shimmered as he thought to himself, ¡°What is Kaede Hattori¡¯s intention behind advancing the wedding? This wedding could be our golden opportunity.¡±

    That night, news of Nanako Kujyo and Kappei Hattori¡¯s wedding next week was conveyed to the public.

    More sensational was the news of Kaede Hattori¡¯s possession of the ¡°Meteorite Fragments¡± and that he would present them as bridal gift to Nanako Kujyo on her wedding day.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 560: Fragments News</h4>

    News of the Meteorite Fragments and the wedding spread like a typhoon throughout Japan.

    It had been two years since the appearance of supercats, humans were now able to explore and research supercats on a much deeper level.

    The Meteorite two years ago caused the awakening of the cats. That was a widely epted fact.

    The fact that Meteorite Fragments could improve supercats was widely known and epted by more people due to recent months of propaganda by a certain influential power.

    When the Meteorite finallynded in America, most of the Meteorite Fragments were confiscated by the American government. To find such fragments in the international realm was almost impossible.

    The intentional release of this news by the Hattori n had caused an uproar in the Japanese supernatural realm.

    How alluring would Meteorite Fragments, that could improve supernatural powers, be to humans and cats? Many apostles, supercats and supernatural organizations coveted the Meteorite Fragments.

    ...

    Home of the Kujyo n.

    Hideki Kujyo stood behind arge french window with his brows furrowed and slowly said, ¡°Kaede Hattori did this... to capture the entire Japanese supernatural realm in one clean swoop.¡±

    A samurai-d middle-aged man sat on a sofa behind Hideki Kujyo, carefully wiping his katana. He nodded in agreement and said, ¡°Hehe... This wedding is a convenient excuse. He¡¯s using the Meteorite Fragments as bait. He¡¯s also relying on his strength to repress the heroes of the realm and dominate the world... that shows ambition and daring boldness.¡±

    Hideki Kujyo looked back at the samurai warrior and asked, ¡°Do you think he will seed?:

    The samurai warrior shrugged his shoulders and said, ¡°At least, Kaede Hattori believes he can seed. After bing the supernatural leader of Japan, his skill in the Divine Rays of Terror has grown immensely.¡±

    Hideki Kujyo muttered, ¡°We cannot let him do that. If he manages to capture all Japanese supernatural talents in one swoop, the powers of his Divine Rays of Terror will grow beyond our imagination. We will never live to see daylight.¡±

    Hideki Kujyo narrowed his eyes as he looked out of the window. Zhao Yao stood waiting at the entrance before being led in by Sylvie.

    ¡°This man... seems to be Nanako¡¯s Chinese friend.¡± Hideki Kujyo creased his brows, took out his phone and called Sylvie. ¡°Sylvie, chase this Chinese man away.¡±

    Sylvie, who was ushering Zhao Yao in, was slightly taken aback. ¡°But, Miss Nanako agreed to let hime in, he is Nanako¡¯s...¡±

    ¡°Nanako is going to get married in one week. Do you think it is appropriate for her to consort with a male stranger? Hideki Kujyo coldly continued, ¡°We are under scrutiny by a lot of people. Do not create opportunities for gossip about the Kujyo n.¡±

    Sylvie took in a deep breath and nodded. ¡°I understand.¡±

    Hanging up, she turned to Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Apologies Mr. Zhao Yao, Miss Nanako has other matters to attend to. She is unable to meet you today.¡±

    Zhao Yao felt helpless as he touched his ear forfort. As he possessed the insight power of five cats, he had eavesdropped on the telephone conversation.

    Unfortunately, he did not know Japanese, so he did not understand the phone conversation. He looked at Old Cat, who had been made invisible by Roly Poly.

    Old Cat shook his head, indicating that he did not hear anything. So Zhao Yao nodded his head and expressed his understanding by saying, ¡°Okay, we will meet next time.¡±

    As Sylvie was sending Zhao Yao out, she gazed at his receding silhouette and let out a faint sigh. ¡°If Miss Nanako were not part of the Kujyo n, this man could have been a suitable match.¡±

    Zhao Yao staggered. He walked faster and after turning a street corner ordered Roly Poly to enter invisible mode.

    This was a joke. He was barred from entry and would not enter? That was not Zhao Yao¡¯s style.

    By using invisibility and his power of illusion to shield the noise he made and his smell, Zhao Yao snuck into Kujyo n house to locate Nanako.

    Originally, he wanted to see Kaede Hattori first to settle the task problem. After hearing about the bridal gift and the Meteorite Fragments, he decided to visit Nanako and study the Meteorite Fragments.

    Zhao Yao heard amotion and the loud opening and mming of doors when he arrived on the third level of the huge mansion. He walked over in direction of the noise and saw Nanakoe out of the room furiously. Hideki Kujyo¡¯s cold indifferent words rang out from behind her. ¡°Sylvie, bring Lady Nanako back to her room and take good care of her.¡±

    Nanako turned back abruptly. ¡°Hideki Kujyo! Do you wish to confine me?¡±

    Hideki Kujyo indifferently replied, ¡°Nanako, be more mature. You are not living for yourself. You have the reputation of the entire Kujyo n to uphold. Do not make mistakes that will embarrass our family.¡±

    Nanako was brought back into the room by Sylvie and Hideki Kujyo gave a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he turned his head to look towards the stairway. The stairway was empty.

    ¡°False rm? I thought I felt someone watching me?¡± Hideki Kujyo frowned and shut the door.

    Standing by the stairway, the invisible Zhao Yao was a little shocked. ¡°He has such a strong intuition that can sense my presence?¡±

    Shaking his head in disbelief, Zhao Yao hurried towards Nanako¡¯s room. Using the power of illusion, he manipted the door and gained entry without being discovered.

    He patted on Nanako¡¯s shoulders. She turned around and jumped in fright.

    ¡°Mr. Zhao Yao! Why have youe here?¡± Nanako looked at Zhao Yao in shock. ¡°You used your supernatural powers to sneak in? That¡¯s very dangerous.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s no problem.¡± Zhao Yao looked at Nanako gleefully and said, ¡°I see that you are in a dire situation with this family. How are you? Do you need my help? My promise is still valid.¡±

    Nanako exhaled, shaking her head as she said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I know how to handle this situation.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡±

    Nanako shook her head. ¡°It is not an issue. Thank you, Mr. Zhao Yao.¡± Although Nanako¡¯s heart was filled with anger, she understood that under Kaede Hattori¡¯s leadership, the Hattori n had risen to the top of the Japanese ns. The power and influence of the Hattori n grew day by day. Even if the Kujyo n resisted, it would be futile. She should not involve Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Ah! No task for me.¡± Zhao Yao sighed in disappointment. He looked at Nanako and asked, ¡°Yes, I heard about the Meteorite Fragments that were your bridal gift? Do you have them on you?¡±

    Seeing Zhao Yao¡¯s curiosity, Nanako smiled as she said, ¡°What? Mr. Zhao Yao is also interested in the Meteorite Fragments?¡± She let out a single sigh. ¡°Lately, so many people have been inquiring about the Meteorite Fragments. I am so afraid that I shut off my phone.¡±

    Zhao Yao rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. ¡°If... you do not wish to be troubled, give the Meteorite Fragments to me. I am not afraid of trouble.¡±

    Nanako rolled her eyes and said, ¡°How can the Meteorite Fragments be with me? Even though they said they were my bridal gift, that was just for show. Do you think they would actually give them to me?¡±

    She shook her head and said, ¡°Don¡¯t even talk about gifting. The Meteorite Fragments never reached our side. They are still with the Hattori family. They said they will only give them to me at the wedding.¡±

    As she said that, she blinked a few times before she realized that Zhao Yao had disappeared.

    ¡°This guy...¡±

    Of course, Zhao Yao had rushed over to the Hattori family¡¯s home. He had a mission to aplish. The Meteorite Fragments were rted to Kaede Hattori.

    Kaede Hattori was like a huge treasure chest that Zhao Yao found. First, because of the 3000*2 experience points to be gained from the Criminal Diao Bao mission. Second, because he still had a burning exmation mark on his head which carried an unknown mission.

    Coupled with the Meteorite Fragments, this was good stuff. Zhao Yao¡¯s current collection of meteorite fragments was at 5%. With every 10% he collected, he would receive 1 extra skill point. This was very tempting for Zhao Yao. He felt torn every time he had to choose between upgrading his supercats or his book level.

    Two missions coupled with a rock made Kaede Hattori appear more alluring than ever to Zhao Yao.

    However, the Hattori family currently had great power and influence. It surely had its fair share of supercats and apostles. Before he headed over to the Hattori family, Zhao Yao decided to use up all his experience points to upgrade Elizabeth¡¯s powers.

    Before doing so, he took a look at his own panel.

    Book: Level 6 (40 002/20,000)

    Matcha: Level 8 (2 210/50 000)

    Elizabeth: Level 7 (2 200/20 000)

    Dust Ball: Level 8 (23 055/50 000)

    Ares: Level 7 (2 200/20 000)

    Lucifer: Level 6 (5 100/10 000)

    Sphynx Cat: Level 6 (2 500/10 000)

    Satisfied, Zhao Yao used all his experience points to upgrade Elizabeth, giving her 17 800 points.

    At once, his and Elizabeth¡¯s panel showed: Book: Level 6 (22 202/20 000); Elizabeth: Level 8 (0/50 000)

    Zhao Yao tapped on Elizabeth¡¯s ability tree and was shocked to see two new abilities:

    Extended Power of Illusion: After casting the power of illusion, its effects will linger for another 10 minutes even after it has ended. The user can actively deactivate this effect.

    Power of Illusion Reversal: Reverse the power of illusion cast by the opponent.

    When he saw the two skills, Zhao Yao was disappointed, ¡°Why wasn¡¯t the Sixth Sense illusion upgraded?¡± He sighed. Due to his difficulty controlling the Sixth Sense illusion, Zhao Yao had upgraded Elizabeth first so that he could upgrade this ability.

    s, there was no such option in Elizabeth¡¯s Level 8 abilities. Although these two new abilities were pretty good, they were not what Zhao Yao was expecting.

    Zhao Yao believed that as long as he continued upgrading, he would eventually receive an upgrade for the Sixth Sense illusion.

    Looking at the two new abilities, Zhao Yao started to think more about them.

    There was no doubt about the power of the Extended Power of Illusion. If one wave of illusion was released at the start of the battle, he could switch to another ability, which meant that he could use two abilities at once to fight.

    As for the Power of Illusion Reversal, though it was not of much use now since Zhao Yao had rarely met an opponent who could cast the Power of Illusion on him, it would be a priceless skill if he did meet such an opponent in future.

    Zhao Yao thought for a while before choosing the Extended Power of Illusion. After all, this ability could greatly increase his fighting power, while the Power of Illusion Reversal was only limited to illusions, which was too narrow a range for it to be put to use. He already had the power to deflect illusions with the deflective shield.

    After adding the ability, Zhao Yao activated the supercat armor system and shouted at each of his supercats toe out.

    For this trip to the Hattori family, Zhao Yao was fully prepared. Not only did he call out all the supercats in the supercat armor, but he also activated the dragoonbat system. Mango, Rice Cake, Fish Ball and Lightning floated around him, constituting the perfect attack-defense system.

    ...

    The moment he arrived at the Hattori family¡¯s home, Zhao Yao heard a gut-wrenching scream which gave him goosebumps all over his body.

    ¡°Eh? What¡¯s happening?¡± He immediately sneaked into the Hattori household and followed the sound. He entered smoothly using Roly Poly¡¯s power of invisibility and Elizabeth¡¯s power of illusion until he reached another courtyard.

    He saw countless servants and butlers walking in and out anxiously. When Zhao Yao walked in, he saw that the person screaming in agony was Kappei Hattori. He was sweating profusely. His face was distorted in pain as he continued to scream in agony. The bottom half of his body was drenched in blood.

    ¡°Why!¡± Kappei Hattori screamed out in agony, ¡°I didn¡¯t feel pain before this, why... Why is it like this?¡±

    When he saw what had happened, Zhao Yao was shocked. ¡°S*it, I forgot to ask Lucifer to retract his powers yesterday. Don¡¯t tell me this guy...¡±

    Zhao Yao looked up to scan the surroundings and saw that the tables, floor, walls and the television were all covered in fresh blood. The amount of blood was definitely more than that of an adult man.

    Zhao Yao took a deep breath, ¡°This guy... So he was ying the whole night?¡± From this point on, Zhao Yao resolved to use Lucifer¡¯s power as hisst resort. The power was too devilish.

    Since the night before, when Kappei Hattori found out that he had the power of super-regeneration and a fetish for pain, he had be hopelessly obsessed with it. The toxic effect of super-regeneration increased the pleasure he felt with the pain, far exceeding that of sex or even drugs.

    It seemed like after a few tries, Kappei Hattori got high from the sensation and decided to have fun the whole night. After each time he mutted himself, hey on the floor, quietly enjoying the pleasure he felt from the pain, staining the whole room as a result.

    If this had happened to Kaede Hattori, he would have used his strong willpower to resist the addictive nature of such pleasure. Kappei Hattori obviously could not do this, hence his current state.

    Staring at the scene before him, Zhao Yao had no choice but to call Lucifer out again to lend the other party his power while maintaining his own invisibility.

    Looking at Kappei Hattori, who was now writhing and rolling his eyes in pleasure at the feeling of regeneration, Zhao Yao wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead and thought to himself, ¡°D*mn it, what now? Am I supposed to tell Nanako: ¡®Sorry, I identally made your fianc¨¦ addicted to muttion¡¯?¡±

    That should definitely not be said.

    Looking at Kappei Hattori who was still deep in his pleasure, Zhao Yao thought, ¡°There¡¯s no other choice. This marriage can¡¯t happen, not until Kappei Hattori is cured of his addiction.¡±

    Zhao Yao saw that a new mission had appeared on his mission panel.

    Mission: Premature Death by Muttion

    Mission Objective: Prevent the marriage between Kappei Hattori and Nanako Kujyo from happening or treat Kappei Hattori¡¯s muttion addiction.

    Reward: Achieve one of the objectives to get 1000 experience points.

    Punishment: Be addicted to muttion for a day.

    When he saw the reward for the mission, Zhao Yao was actually quite happy. When he saw the punishment, however, he became enraged immediately.

    It had been a long time since the missions in the Book had given Zhao Yao a punishment. After all, given Zhao Yao¡¯s spection that the Book was based on him, all the missions and systems it designed should have been based on his experience, character, consciousness, and so on.

    Under normal circumstances, the Book should not give any punishment to Zhao Yao.

    But the punishment given here...

    ¡°D*mn it, does this mean I feel really guilty subconsciously?¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin. ¡°Fine, I do feel a tiny bit of guilt, but isn¡¯t this punishment too harsh?¡±

    Looking around the blood-stained house, Zhao Yao swore to himself that he never wanted to experience muttion addiction. He red menacingly at Kappei Hattori who was on the floor and thought of killing him right there and then.

    ¡°Hmph!¡± Zhao Yao exhaled heavily, suppressing the rashness in his heart. ¡°Let¡¯s try to see if I can treat him first.¡±

    At the same time, the supercats around Zhao Yao were dumbstruck by the sight of the house before them.

    Ares: ¡°Humans are really scary. This is too depraved. What if Lucifer turns out like this next time?¡±

    Footsteps could be heard from afar. They belonged to Aoyama Hattori, Kappei Hattori¡¯s father, who rushed over after being informed by a servant.

    Zhao Yao walked out to take a look. His eyes gleamed as he thought, ¡°I can¡¯t let them ruin my ns.¡± Hence, with the lift of a finger, the whole house became clean. Kappei Hattori sat peacefully behind the table and yingputer games.¡±

    When Aoyama Hattori walked in and saw this, he red viciously at the servant beside him.

    The servant was astonished, ¡°But... but it wasn¡¯t like this just now, it really wasn¡¯t...¡±

    With a wave of his hand, the bodyguards beside Aoyama Hattori had already dragged the servant away.

    He walked over to Kappei Hattori and asked in a kind voice, ¡°Kappei, are you alright?¡± Aoyama Hattori knew how much his son suffered, and was very worried that the ident had traumatised him. Ever since Kappei Hattori was discharged from the hospital, he became very concerned about his son.

    Pretending to be Kappei Hattori, Zhao Yao quickly pacified Aoyama Hattori and chased him away.

    He stared at Kappei Hattori lying on the floor and decided to treat him.

    ¡°Hmm, let¡¯s try using the power of illusion first.¡± Zhao Yao thought for a bit then decided to cast the Sixth Sense illusion, making the body lie still.

    He watched as Kappei Hattoriy quietly on the floor afterpleting his super-regeneration, and did not do anything else.

    ¡°Next...¡± Zhao Yao removed the illusion. Kappei Hattori raised his hand and pointed the knife downwards, about to do something scary.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes immediately shed red and controlled him, as he sighed to himself, ¡°If a superpower like the power of illusion can¡¯t treat him despite having an extended time effect, even if Old Cat brainwashed him, it would onlyst for a day.¡±

    Though he knew that he could notpletely treat him, Zhao Yao still got Old Cat to help him trante, ¡°Kappei Hattori, you can¡¯t continue with this depravity.¡±

    Kappei Hattori was confused for a moment, ¡°Who are you? Are you controlling me?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°I am your conscience. You can¡¯t continue on like this, or you will end up killing yourself and bring shame to the Hattori family.¡±

    ¡°I...¡± a hint of confusion shed across Kappei Hattori¡¯s eyes, turning into agony in the next moment, ¡°But I can¡¯t help it, I really can¡¯t. That feeling is too alluring, too tempting. There¡¯s no use. Ever sincest night when I first mutted myself, there¡¯s no turning back for me.¡±

    Zhao Yao said encouragingly, ¡°You have to ovee that feeling. You can definitely quit this addiction!¡±

    ¡°No, if I don¡¯t mutte myself, I will feel as though thousands of ants are crawling all over my body. It would be unbearable.¡±

    Hearing his words, Dust Ball looked as if she understood him and suddenly jumped onto Kappei Hattori¡¯s shoulder, putting a big bag of catmint in front of him and said, ¡°You can try eating this bag of catmint.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and grabbed Dust Ball over, ¡°Is this the time to promote your catmint? Stop moving around.¡±

    After scolding Dust Ball, Zhao Yao continued talking to Kappei Hattori through Old Cat and nted the notion of avoiding self-harm in his head in no time.

    However, even with Old Cat¡¯s brainwashing ability, the effects would onlyst for a day.

    Hence, Zhao Yao continued to stroke his chin and thought of other solutions. He stared at Kappei Hattori, who was no longer trying to hurt himself even though he was no longer under Zhao Yao¡¯s control.

    ¡°Maybe we can rece this addiction with a different one?¡± Zhao Yao thought as he continued stroking his chin, ¡°What is the hottest trending game in Japan right now?¡±

    ¡°I think it¡¯s fatego?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought for a moment and made Old Cat nt another instruction in the man¡¯s mind. For the next day, Kappei Hattori was to finish watching the whole Fate anime and proceed to y fatego afterward.

    Looking at Kappei Hattori who began to focus on watching anime, Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief, ¡°Let it be like this for now. There¡¯s still one week before the wedding, if I can¡¯t treat you by then, I will have no choice but to stop the wedding from happening.¡±

    Right at this moment, Zhao Yao¡¯s ears twitched. He heard footstepsing from afar. It was Kaede Hattori, Kappei Hattori¡¯s brother rushing over.

    ¡°He came just in time.¡±

    The power of illusion was activated.

    ...

    Kaede Hattori knocked on the door and walked in to see Kappei Hattori yingputer games, while Mr. Yamada was sitting at the side.

    He frowned a little and said, ¡°Yamada, what brings you here? Have you found out anything about the criminal?¡±

    Kappei Hattori immediately said, ¡°Brother, recently Officer Yamada has been helping me to investigate the case of my attacker and did not sleep for many nights because of this.¡±

    Kaede Hattori¡¯s gaze softened slightly and said, ¡°Mr. Yamada, did you manage to find anything about the case?¡±

    Zhao Yao stood up immediately and reported everything he knew to Kaede Hattori, especially regarding Cannon¡¯s abilities, Bai Quan¡¯s identity and the consequent meeting that day. Zhao Yao decided toplete the mission first to see if he could take on a new mission. If that did not work out, he would just have to erase his memories.

    Kaede Hattori narrowed his eyes, ¡°There¡¯s actually such a power? Send the report to meter, I want to analyze it carefully.¡±

    Although Kaede Hattori needed further confirmation, Zhao Yao had alreadypleted the Criminal Diao Bao mission, earning him 3000*2 experience points directly. His panel became: Book: Level 6 (28202/20000).

    At this moment, Kappei Hattori said again, ¡°What was the reason behind Kappei¡¯s speedy recovery? Have you found anything about that?¡±

    Kappei Hattori¡¯s injuries were so severe that even the best doctors in Japan could not cure him, yet he miraculously recovered overnight. It was impossible for Kaede Hattori and his family not to suspect anything.

    Zhao Yao was only heard saying, ¡°I haven¡¯t found much about this yet.¡±

    ¡°Continue to investigate this, I¡¯m very sure it has something to do with superpowers.¡±

    Zhao Yao asked again, ¡°Inspector, do you have any other instructions?¡±

    Kaede Hattori nced at Zhao Yao and said to him, ¡°Come with me.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes brightened and he thought to himself, ¡°Interesting, does this mean I can finally take on the mission from the burning exmation mark?¡±

    Expecting to receive a new mission, Zhao Yao followed Kaede Hattori out of the courtyard into his car and left the Hattori family.

    ¡°Eh? Where is he bringing me?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes shed. He became more curious about where Kaede Hattori was headed to.

    After the two of them were seated in the back of a small sedan, Kaede Hattori started talking to him, ¡°Mr. Yamada, where do you think the future of our country lies?¡±

    When he heard this, Zhao Yao paused for a moment and thought to himself, ¡°The heck, I just wanted toplete a mission and earn some experience points. You¡¯re asking me where the future of the country lies? How would an insignificant Chinese man like me know?¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned deeply for a moment before saying seriously, ¡°Anime and games?¡±

    Of course, the conversation between the two relied on Old Cat¡¯s trantion. He tranted what he heard to Zhao Yao in his mind, while Zhao Yao alsomunicated his reply to Old Cat in his mind. Old Cat then tranted it to Kaede Hattori. With Zhao Yao¡¯s power of illusion and Roly Poly¡¯s invisibility as a cover, Kaede Hattori did not have the slightest suspicion.

    Kaede Hattori shook his head and was slightly disappointed, ¡°Anime and games may have huge influence and production value, but to say that these two alone will bring about the renaissance of our country is too far-fetched. The Chinese had a great leader who said that political poweres from the barrel of a gun. To truly bring about the renaissance of Japan, we need to first develop a strong skill set.¡±

    ¡°Gun barrel?¡± Zhao Yao nodded and replied thoughtfully, ¡°So, it¡¯s the AV?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not talking about that gun barrel!¡± Kaede Hattori¡¯s face turned ck. To prevent him from making anymore blind guesses Kaede Hattori replied immediately, ¡°Currently, our greatest hope for renaissance lies in the potential of supercats.¡±

    This was an unprecedented opportunity. Superpowers were game-changing. They could make a very weak person strong enough to beat an opponent they never thought they were even capable of fighting.

    Even a weaker country could ovee the power inequality in between itself and stronger countries.

    Seeing the excitement on Kaede Hattori¡¯s face, Zhao Yao was exasperated, but nodded his head fervently, saying ¡°Kaede Hattori, what you said was so true. Only a person with great insight like you can lead the Empire of Japan to punch America, kick aside China and spit on Britain, France, and Russia.¡±

    Kaede Hattori was slightly taken aback by his words. Though Zhao Yao was a bit crude, this was indeed what Kaede Hattori wished for. In the current Japanese government, not everyone agreed with his use of supercats.

    Kaede Hattori nodded his head in satisfaction, ¡°Mr. Yamada, I see I trusted the right person. We are of the same kind with simr aspirations.¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately replied in a ttering tone, ¡°How can Ipare to you, Inspector Hattori? I am merely a small screw in the tank of the great Empire. You are the true leader who can lead us towards a bright and promising future. Without you, no matter how many people like me there are in this world, they are of no use.¡±

    Zhao Yao spoke crudely, but he was shameless to begin with. His words were like music to Kaede Hattori¡¯s ears. Throughout the whole journey, Zhao Yao and Kaede Hattori were all smiles andughter. Kaede Hattori was beginning to see Mr. Yamada in a more favorable light.

    As he had activated the supercat armor for protection before he went to the Hattori household, even as he was sitting in the car, Zhao Yao was surrounded by supercats.

    Seeing how Zhao Yao was conniving with Kaede Hattori, pure-hearted Rice Cake shouted in astonishment, ¡°Is Zhao Yao going to be a traitor? So we are all going to be Japanese cats?¡±

    Elizabeth casually licked her paws and said, ¡°You fool, Zhao Yao still has many things to do back home. How could he dare be a traitor? I think he¡¯s just lying to this Japanese guy. Perhaps to get a new mission?¡±

    Rice Cake was shocked. ¡°Really? Zhao Yao looked very serious and was so agreeable with him.¡±

    ¡°Haha!¡± Matcha spoke like an experienced cat and said, ¡°Rice Cake, you¡¯re too naive. You shouldn¡¯t believe anything a person like Zhao Yao says. He is an expert at cheating young, naive kitty cats.¡±

    As he said that, Matcha sighed as though he had been through great hardships in life, ¡°When I had just turned one, I was cheated into the hands of this douchebag, like an ignorant kitty cat. At that time, he told me I would be the only cat at home. In the end? There are so many cats in the house now that I bet even a round of PUBG can¡¯t fit all of us.¡±

    Elizabeth pouted and said, ¡°Even so, you are still his first cat. Men will not forget their first cat, unlike us. We can¡¯t even leave an impression on him.

    Can you believe this? One time Zhao Yao woke up in the morning, stroked my back and called me Diana? He actually mistook me for Diana?!¡±

    Rice Cake said in astonishment, ¡°He¡¯s actually such a douchebag. He can¡¯t even recognize his own cats!¡±

    ¡°Hmph,¡± Dust Ball could not help but add, ¡°That¡¯s nothing. Rememberst winter, when it was really cold during Chinese New Year?

    Zhao Yao, he... he actually put me under theputer table as his leg rest! Can you believe it? He used his own cat as a leg rest? How old was I then? He did that to me? Roly Poly was less than two meters away, but he still picked me to be his leg rest.¡±

    Roly Poly was speechless. He thought to himself, ¡°The heck, did I eat your catmints or something?¡±

    Seeing that the cats had all startedining, taking turns reproaching Zhao Yao, Roly Poly had a strange gleam in his eyes as hemunicated all that he heard to Zhao Yao telepathically. He told him, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, these ungrateful cats only know how to badmouth you. I couldn¡¯t stand it so I had to tell you. Please don¡¯t tell them I was the one who exposed them.¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned and red viciously at Matcha, Elizabeth and the rest who were chatting excitedly. He hollered at the cats telepathically, ¡°What nonsense are you all saying? Roly Poly said that you were all badmouthing me?¡±

    All the cats were stunned. They turned to re at Roly Poly, who drew a long face and thought to himself, ¡°Please don¡¯t me me. From the moment the Royal Cat Police Force was established, the only choice I had was to be loyal to Zhao Yao.¡±

    Zhao Yao said menacingly, ¡°You bunch of useless cats, all you do isze around all day, living without purpose, indulging in your own pleasures. You only know how to y games and surf the inte. Some of you only know how to watch live streams and dramas. If I weren¡¯t taking care of the bunch of you, you would have all starved to death.

    None of you are either smart or powerful. The only thing you know how to do is to act cute. I¡¯ve raised over a hundred over of you cats! You only know how to leech off me without doing actual work. Even when you are constipated youe to me to ask for help! Do you think it¡¯s been easy for me?¡±

    His scolding shook them as if it were spoken and not thought. Matcha, Elizabeth and all the other cats trembled in fear andy t on the floor as their ears drooped.

    As Zhao Yao said that, a string of numbers jumped appeared on the Book¡¯s screen.

    Matcha¡¯s Loyalty +1

    Elizabeth¡¯s Loyalty +1

    Ares¡¯ Loyalty +1

    Matcha¡¯s Loyalty -2

    ...

    Having frozen time, Matcha looked to his left and right. When he saw that Zhao Yao was immobilized, he startedughing madly. ¡°Hahaha, Zhao Yao is still maintaining the power of illusion and didn¡¯t activate time freeze.¡±

    He pounced on him and reached out his paw to p his chest. After some thought, he decided against it.

    ¡°No, if I hit him, I will definitely be found out.¡± Matcha¡¯s eyebrows twitched. Suddenly, with his butt in Zhao Yao¡¯s face, he said, ¡°Stupid Zhao Yao, let me tell you. I¡¯ve put up with you for too long.¡±

    He stood up and shook his butt in Zhao Yao¡¯s face, ¡°All you say, everyday, is that we can¡¯t do this or that. It¡¯s so noisy and annoying. I am already three years old. I¡¯m not a three-month-old kitty cat anymore.¡±

    ¡°Do you even know what respect is? We cats have our pride as well. Stop threatening me just because you have money, or else I won¡¯t let you off with just a few words next time.¡± Matcha patted Zhao Yao¡¯s cheek in midair before he red at him and said, ¡°Do you understand? Hmph, seeing that you¡¯re quite obedient, I shall spare you this time.¡±

    ...

    Thinking that his scolding worked, Zhao Yao was satisfied at first. He couldn¡¯t believe his eyes when he saw Matcha¡¯s loyalty points fluctuate.

    Matcha¡¯s Loyalty -2

    Matcha¡¯s Loyalty +1

    Matcha¡¯s Loyalty +1

    ¡°Matcha¡¯s loyalty points are constantly fluctuating,¡± Zhao Yao frowned and said to Matcha, ¡°Matcha, are you unhappy with me about something?¡±

    ¡°Why would I be unhappy?¡± Matcha thought quickly. He immediately shook his tail and said in a pitiful voice, ¡°Zhao Yao, what you said was so true. Only a person with great insight like you can lead our Cat Empire to kill off the dogs, eat all the rabbits, pummel those rats, and reign over the pet kingdom.¡±

    Zhao Yao hit Matcha¡¯s head and said, ¡°Stop copying my words.¡±

    Time stopped for a while then started again.

    Matcha¡¯s Loyalty -2

    Matcha¡¯s Loyalty +2333.

    Zhao Yao was shocked to see this message and hit Matcha¡¯s head again.

    Time stopped for a while then started again.

    Matcha¡¯s Loyalty -2

    Matcha¡¯s Loyalty +666

    ¡°This kid,¡± Zhao Yao ruffled Matcha¡¯s head and thought to himself, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me he¡¯s be dumb?¡±

    Matchayfortably on the back seat of the car, ncing at Zhao Yao¡¯s shocked face as well as the cats around him who did not sense anything. He thought to himself, ¡°Hehe, on the surface, it looks like Zhao Yao was teaching me a lesson and had the upper hand. In fact, I was scolding him like mad, all this while, and he couldn¡¯t even retort. Now you know how powerful I am, Zhao Yao.¡±

    Shaking his head, Zhao Yao caressed Matcha¡¯s head. ¡°Don¡¯t be stupid. I won¡¯t hit you next time.¡±

    During the scolding of the cats, the small sedan had rolled to a stop. Zhao Yao raised his head and realized he had reached a pier.

    Beside him, Kaede Hattori opened the car door and said, ¡°We are here. Get out of the car.¡±

    Zhao Yao followed Kaede Hattori and got out, walking up to a warehouse. He drew the curtains open and walked through rows of containers, stopping in front of a huge mirror deep in the warehouse.

    Zhao Yao was puzzled by Kaede Hattori¡¯s actions. He suddenly saw the mirror in front of him change and be a normal ss door, revealing a lift behind it.

    Upon entering the lift, Kaede Hattoriughed at the shocked expression on Zhao Yao¡¯s face, saying ¡°This was originally the secret meeting ce of the Public Security Police. After the supercats were awakened, this ce became the research center for the Special Higher Police. At least one in five of all the supercats we collected across Japan are kept here.¡±

    The lift quickly came to a stop. When the lift doors opened, a spacious underground research center appeared. Countless workers d in white coats walked around busily. Some supercats could asionally be seen casting their superpowers from their cages.

    Of course, there were also arge number of apostles patrolling the research center.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go, Mr. Yamada.¡± Kaede Hattori tilted his head and walked forward. ¡°This research center is the core of our country¡¯s most advanced and high-tech research. It is guarded by numerous apostles. If all the supercats here were released, this would definitely cause a hugemotion in society.¡±

    Zhao Yao observed the research centre curiously as he waited for Kaede Hattori to continue.

    ¡°Mr. Yamada, I brought you here today as you have passed the test I gave you,¡± Kaede Hattori slowly said, ¡°You are skilled, have a strong character and have the passion to bring about change in our country. I hope that you will continue to grow while working together with me to sweep away the obstacles that stand in the path of our country¡¯s progress.

    But before that, you still have to pass some tests.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°The time hase.¡±

    Chain Mission: Kaede Hattori¡¯s Wild Ambitions

    Mission Objective: Help Kaede Hattori fulfill his wild ambitions step by step. The first step is to pass the test and be Kaede Hattori¡¯s trusted aide.

    Reward: Completing this missionpletes 10% of the chain mission. The mission rewards are based on thepletion rate of the whole chain of missions and include a vast amount of experience points, the Paralysis Ring, the Dragon ying Saber, activating a new ability and other great rewards.

    Punishment: None

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes glowed, ¡°Paralysis Ring? Dragon ying Saber?¡± He felt the urge to throw the Book on the ground, ¡°D*mn Book, are you kidding me? What kind of rewards are these?¡±

    But thinking of the huge amount of experience points, Zhao Yao was still very interested in this mission. This was his first chain mission aside from the cat nation mission.

    Sadly, after his fifth mission of the cat nation chain mission, once the cat poption had reached 50, no more missions came after that. This had greatly disappointed Zhao Yao very as he lost a great avenue for earning experience points.

    This was the first time that Zhao Yao found a new chain mission that had promised new equipment as rewards.

    Zhao Yao looked up at Kaede Hattori¡¯s head. The burning exmation mark had indeed vanished.

    Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°At first I wanted to try to erase his memories. It¡¯s obvious that if I do that, I will not be able toplete the chain missions. If I don¡¯t erase his memories, Kaede Hattori will capture Bai Quan and Cannon and might even involve me.¡±

    Zhao Yao already formed a n in his mind. ¡°I¡¯ll try my best toplete the chain mission first. Afterpleting the mission, I will defeat Kaede Hattori immediately and make the whole Hattori family lose their influence and power for good. By then, they will not have the time or power to deal with Bai Quan.¡±

    As to how he would defeat them, Zhao Yao had way too many ideas overflowing in his mind.

    In Kaede Hattori¡¯s eyes, Mr. Yamada took a moment to reflect seriously before saying enthusiastically, ¡°What test is that? I will definitely pass it.¡±

    Kaede Hattori said, ¡°Rx, it¡¯s just some character and loyalty test. It should be very easy for you.¡±

    Zhao Yao was brought into a huge white room. It had a television ced in its center and an outdated Nintendo game console.

    Looking at the FC game console, which was the most popr game back in the 1980s, Zhao Yao blinked and said, ¡°Hey, the test you were talking about, don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s to y this game?¡±

    Kaede Hattoriughed, ¡°Why, Mr. Yamada, have you not yed this game before?¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned slightly, ¡°Well, it¡¯s not that I haven¡¯t yed it before, but what does this game test?¡± Deep in his heart, he knew that this test was definitely not easy and based on his understanding of his character and his real attitude toward Japan. He was 80% sure that he would not be able to pass the test.

    Hence, Zhao Yao¡¯s objective was to understand the principles of the game and mask his real personality to pass the test.

    But the game console in front of him slightly puzzled him.

    Kaede Hattori casually walked to the game console and turned it on. It was a game that Zhao Yao had never seen before. He told Zhao Yao, ¡°Try ying this game. If you win this game, you will be able to join us and be one of our members.¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned. Though he was still unsure of the objectives of this game, he started ying it anyway.

    As he watched Zhao Yao start a new round, Kaede Hattori smiled slightly and left the room.

    Left with no choice, Zhao Yao grasped the joystick and started to y the game. He realized that this game was simr to Mario¡¯s tform video games. As he yed, he thought to himself, ¡°Does this mean that the better I am at ying this game, the higher the rating I will get?¡±

    ...

    Kaede Hattori walked to another room that was full of huge screens showing Zhao Yao ying the video game from all angles. This was obviously the security footage of the scene.

    A Japanese cat was sitting in front of the security footage, staring nkly at Zhao Yao as he yed the game.

    When he saw Kaede Hattori walk in, the Japanese cat yawned and pressed some keys while asking, ¡°The person being tested this time is this guy here? He looks so weak.¡±

    Mr. Yamada looked like an average man. He had the face of a normal white-cor, middle-aged office man that could easily blend into a crowd at first nce.

    Kaede Hattoriughed when he heard what was said, ¡°Ah-Ri, Mr. Yamada may look like an average man, but in reality, he is a rare talent. He single-handedly investigated the truth behind Kappei¡¯s assault and when I sent people to question Momo, the information I received was the same as what he said.

    He shares our aspirations and is thus a potential ally. I have high hopes for him.¡±

    The cat named Ah-Ri pursed his lips, ¡°Talented or not, one look at his basic properties will tell. As long as he ys my game, I will be able to detect the level of his fighting power, intelligence, charm, loyalty, luck, and chivalry. As for loyalty, only those that are truly loyal to the Special Higher Police will be able to pass these numerous tests.¡±

    A hexagonal image appeared on the screen in front of Ah-Ri, it was a graph representing the six basic qualities.

    This was Ah-Ri¡¯s skill, the power of ¡®Individual Basic Properties Analysis¡¯. That Nintendo game console was a superpower item conjured from his powers. No matter who yed the game, Ah-Ri would be able to detect their six basic properties: fighting power, intelligence, charm, loyalty, luck, and chivalry. Ah-Ri designed the loyalty detected here to be specific to the Special Higher Police.

    The values of the six basic properties would determine whether or not the person passed the test.

    However, in the radar that had appeared, the six basic properties had very low values and formed a very small hexagon.

    Seeing the values on the screen, Ah-Ri pursed his lips and said, ¡°So weak, he will most likely fail the test.¡±

    Kaede Hattori pointed angrily at the propertybels on the radar image and shouted, ¡°What is going on here?¡±

    Ah-Ri looked at it again and realized that what was written above was promiscuous, cuckolding, H-rate, flexibility, outdoors, swallow-

    Kaede Hattori grabbed Ah-Ri¡¯s head and said, emphasizing each word, holding back his anger, ¡°What are you up to?¡±

    ¡°Ah!¡± Ah-Ri immediately turned off the radar image andughed coyly, ¡°Hahahaha, this was a new radar image I thought of yesterday when I was testing Peach. It¡¯s a small problem. Don¡¯t be bothered by it. I will adjust the radar for you immediately.¡±

    ¡°Wait!¡± Kaede Hattori had a cold expression on his face as he took out his phone to snap a photo of the six-dimensional image in front of him and asked again, ¡°Is this image urate?¡±

    As the two were talking, they did not notice that in a corner of the room a small cat head had quietly sneaked out from the floor below, raising his cat ears to hear what was being said.

    The eavesdropping cat was Gaia whose superpower was the ability to burrow into the ground. Before entering the room, Zhao Yao had called him out with the help of Roly Poly¡¯s invisibility power to let him tail Kaede Hattori and gather intel about him.

    Gaia quietly tapped on his phone to send a message to Zhao Yao.

    In the game room, Zhao Yao nced at the invisible phone on the floor and thought to himself, ¡°So this what it¡¯s about? Fighting power, intelligence, charm, loyalty, luck, and chivalry... I have no problem with everything except loyalty, which is my main worry. This seems to be a bit of a problem.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought for a bit. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind and he said to Matcha, ¡°Matcha,e and y this game.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Matcha put both paws on the joysticks. He controlled the game while Zhao Yao held his paws, moving them as if he were the one ying the game. Due to Roly Poly¡¯s power of invisibility, Matcha could not be seen from the security footage. It looked as if Zhao Yao was ying the game.

    In the control room, as Ah-Ri was controlling the panel of the six-dimensional basic properties, a radar image of the six basic properties appeared on the screen.

    ¡°Fighting power 1, Intelligence 30, Charm 1, Loyalty 0, Luck 1, Chivalry, 1.¡±

    Both Ah-Ri and Kaede Hattori were shocked beyond words.

    ¡°There actually exists such a lousy level of basic properties?¡± Kaede Hattori was shocked and gaped at the screen before he continued, ¡°Even for a cat, shouldn¡¯t there be more than 10 points in its fighting power? How can a person¡¯s basic properties be so low? What¡¯s more, an intelligence of 30 points is considered mentally retarded. A charm of 1 point and 0 points for loyalty, how is that possible? Even a pig wouldn¡¯t have such a low score.¡±

    Ah-Ri also scratched his ears and wondered aloud, ¡°Are my superpowers expired?¡±

    ¡°How can superpowers expire?!¡± Kaede Hattori pped Ah-Ri¡¯s head and said, ¡°You better be more serious with this!¡± Thinking about the adult version of the six-dimensional basic properties that had previously appeared on the screen, Kaede Hattori concluded that Ah-Ri was not doing his job seriously and that this had resulted in the distorted values on the radar image of the basic properties.

    Ah-Ri drooped his ears and said in defeat, ¡°Alright, alright, I will try again.¡±

    Zhao Yao received a message informing him that Matcha¡¯s test worked. ¡°Good, since a cat can also be mistaken as a person doing the test...¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s try using the Sixth Sense illusion first. If it doesn¡¯t work, there¡¯s only one other way...¡± Zhao Yao looked at Matcha, whom he was holding, and activated the Sixth Sense illusion. All of a sudden he said, ¡°Be loyal to Japan! You are the heir to the Empire of Japan! A true blue Japanese cat!¡±

    In the next moment, Kaede Hattori stared at the values before him and squeezed Ah-Ri¡¯s neck in a fit of rage, screaming ¡°What the hell are you doing? His charm also went to 0? You better be more serious about this!¡±

    ¡°D*mn, the Sixth Sense illusion failed again.¡± Zhao Yao kicked the floor in a fit of rage.

    In the game room, Matcha¡¯s eyes dulled like a dead fish as he sprawled on the floor and gradually stopped breathing.

    ¡°D*mn it, this guy waszy to begin with. Now that I gave him power, it¡¯s like I¡¯ve umted more and more idleness in him. He can¡¯t even be bothered to live!¡± When Zhao Yao saw this, he immediately deactivated the Sixth Sense illusion, bringing Matcha back to his senses.

    Matcha frowned, ¡°Why do I feel like I saw a bright light appear before me just now? Zhao Yao, I feel like I saw my mother just now.¡± His eyes suddenly lit up, ¡°Is a new superpower awakening in my body?¡±

    ¡°No, you¡¯re just too tired and hallucinated. Don¡¯t think too much,¡± Zhao Yao said as he stroked his head.

    ¡°If the Sixth Sense illusion doesn¡¯t work, then I¡¯ll have to try...¡± As he said that, Zhao Yao opened his mouth and spat out Old Cat.

    ¡°Old Cat, try brainwashing Matcha as quickly as you can. The objective of the brainwashing is... It¡¯s very important, the faster you can do it, the better it is.¡±

    Upon hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s words, Old Cat¡¯s eyes shed and his fur stood on its edge in excitement. ¡°Hahahaha, it¡¯s finally my time to shine.¡±

    He flew in an instant to Matcha¡¯s ear, moving his mouth at lightning speed. Only the shadow of his mouth was seen to be moving.

    ¡°Supersonic Mysterious Incantation, I F*ck F*ck F*ck F*ck F*ck F*ck F*ck...¡±

    The light in Old Cat¡¯s eyes glowed brighter and brighter and he thought to himself, ¡°F*ck is a short, but formidable word. I¡¯ve seen countless words in the world, but this is the only word that has limitless potential when spoken with increased frequency. It even has a deeper meaning to it. It alone is enough to express all the emotions in the world, making it the king of all words.

    My supersonic mysterious incantation thus uses ¡®f*ck¡¯ as its root word, achieving a supersonic rate of 500 repetitions in a minute!¡±

    Within a few minutes, Old Cat managed to input many different thoughts into Matcha¡¯s consciousness, brainwashing him multiple times in a row.

    ¡°Done!¡± Letting out a deep breath, Old Cat looked at Zhao Yao who was standing at the side.

    Zhao Yao stroked Old Cat¡¯s head and said, ¡°Good job, I will give you a red packet.¡±

    Old Cat meowed and hi-fived Zhao Yao¡¯s palm fervently with his paw.

    Zhao Yao looked at Matcha and asked, ¡°Hey? Matcha, how do you feel right now?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t call me Matcha,¡± a cold re shed across Matcha¡¯s eyes, ¡°I am Chata Sato, a Scottish Fold from Tokyo.¡±

    ¡°Very good,¡± Zhao Yaoughed and started controlling Matcha to y the game.

    Although brainwashing would have solved his loyalty problem, Zhao Yao did not dare to let Old Cat brainwash him. His only solution was to let Old Cat brainwash other supercats.

    In the control room, the six-dimensional image shed again, and the loyalty value suddenly became 120.

    Kaede Hattori was astonished, ¡°Mr. Yamada actually scored that high for loyalty? 120, the six-dimensional image can actually reach 120? Isn¡¯t the maximum value of the six-dimensional image 100 points?¡± He looked at the hexagon on top of the six-dimensional image and saw that the side denoting loyalty had exceeded the range.

    ¡°Yeah, 120 is the secret threshold I set for a basic property, but I never thought that there would be someone who would actually be able to reach it. Maybe this guy was dreaming of the Special Higher Police even in his sleep?¡± Ah-Ri said with some disdain in his voice, ¡°But the rest of his basic properties are so weak. If I raised a dog it would probably score better than him.¡±

    Kaede Hattori shook his head and said, ¡°Try reloading the image, I still think that these values are wrong. A fighting power of only 1 point is too low for a normal person.¡±

    In the game room, Matcha bared his teeth and snarled, ¡°Despicable Chinese men! You guys actually dared to infiltrate the Special Higher Police, I will destroy all of you!¡±

    Matcha was subdued with a p and Zhao Yao stroked his chin as he saw the message Gaia sent, ¡°The value of the basic properties are too low?¡± His eyes lit up suddenly and he opened his mouth to spit out Sphynx cat.

    ¡°Old Cat, remove Matcha¡¯s brainwash and brainwash Sphynx cat.¡±

    At the same time, Zhao Yaoy on the floor, pretending to rest.

    In the control room, Ah-Ri frowned, ¡°He¡¯s resting while ying the game. This guy is so enigmatic.¡±

    Kaede Hattori thought about how he could have been investigating cases during this time and said amiably, ¡°Maybe he¡¯s too tired. Never mind, let him rest for 10 minutes. You can check on your superpower during that time. Don¡¯t make any more mistakes.¡±

    After a few minutes, Zhao Yao was seen sitting up again in the screen. Kaede Hattori and Ah-Ri¡¯s eyes narrowed and became serious. ¡°Prepare the test now.¡±

    No one noticed that beneath Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes faint strips of red light flickered subtly. He was controlling Sphynx cat to y the game.

    On the other side, Kaede Hattori gasped in shock as he said, ¡°Such high levels of basic properties actually exist?!¡±

    On the six-dimensional image, the values had be: Fighting power 120, Intelligence 70, Charm 30, Loyalty 120, Luck 30, Chivalry 0.

    ¡°Fighting power of 120?¡± Ah-Ri eximed, ¡°Doesn¡¯t this exceed the basic capacity of a human body? Even the world¡¯s boxing champion or soldiers from the super special forces have a fighting power of at most 80 or 90 points. He actually has 120 points?¡±

    Ah-Ri cocked his said and continued, ¡°Intelligence 70 points, this seems normal, just slightly higher than the average person. Charm 30 points, hah, that¡¯s very suitable for a middle-aged uncle. Loyalty 120 points, that¡¯s the basic property of a bodyguard, I suspect he might even be willing to die for the Special Higher Police. Luck, 30 points, this guy doesn¡¯t seem to be very lucky, and Chivalry 0 points? Looks like this guy is pretty selfish.¡±

    Kaede Hattori¡¯s eyes gleamed brightly as he stared at Mr. Yamada on the screen as if he was looking at a rare gem. ¡°Good, that¡¯s good. I never thought that there would be a hidden talent like him in the Special Higher Police. His previous post was a serious waste of his talent. With a fighting power of 120 points and an intelligence of 70 points, giving him a supercat will definitely increase his fighting prowess immensely.¡±

    ¡°120 points for loyalty...¡± Kaede Hattori satisfaction grew the more he stared at it. A loyalty of 120 points meant that he could almost fully trust Mr. Yamada.

    At the thought of this, Kaede Hattori immediately left the control room and walked to the game room excitedly.

    Zhao Yao received this news and immediately made Old Cat remove the brainwash on Sphynx cat before putting him back in.

    Kaede Hattori opened the door and went to hug Zhao Yao directly, ¡°Mr. Yamada, from today onwards, you are ourrade. Starting tomorrow, you will be the captain of the first rank unit in the Special Higher Police. The specific arrangements will be made over the next few days. Let us work hard together to bring about the renaissance of this country.¡±

    He had already led Zhao Yao out of the room. ¡°Come, I will bring you to choose your supercat.¡±

    Kaede Hattori led him to theboratory which he had already prepared beforehand and said as he pointed to the three supercats on the table, ¡°Here are Small Fire Ball, Sprout Ball, and Squirt Ball. They each have abilities rting to fire, nts, and water. Choose one of them. He will be your closest fighting partner in the future.¡±

    Kaede Hattori said, ¡°Do not underestimate their strength. These three cats can destroy an entire street in an instant.¡±

    Looking at the three supercats on the table, Zhao Yao blinked and thought to himself, ¡°How familiar.¡± However, he thought that since he was not a true apostle, it was better to gain powers that could not be borrowed from the supercats that he already owned.

    Zhao Yao pointed his finger and said, ¡°Actually...¡± He lifted his palm and Uncle Egg, who was on his arm, emitted electrical sparks. ¡°I have unexpectedly acquired a supercat that emits electrical energy. I thought that this power was suitable for me.¡±

    ¡°Oh, the effects of electrical and electricity-rted powers are pretty good.¡± Kaede Hattori stroke his chin and said, ¡°You may use them for now. If you want to trade, you may approach me any time.¡±

    Following this discussion about supercats, Kaede Hattori pulled Zhao Yao out of theboratory to expound his ns.

    ¡°To strengthen Japan, we have to start with the supernatural realm. Unfortunately, we have an unevenbination of talents in the Japanese supernatural world. Though we have defeated the Spirit Army, there are many apostles and supercats still among themon folks. Some aspire to bemon high school students; some aspire to be ninjas. Others aspire to be pirates while some only think of their family.¡±

    Kaede Hattori said expectantly, ¡°So the first step is to gather and strengthen our supernatural world¡¯s top talents. Kappei and Nanako¡¯s wedding is the perfect opportunity.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve invited most of the top apostles and supercats from the private sector to this wedding. Their numbers are small. However, theirbined strength is enough to overpower certain countries.¡±

    Zhao Yao showed understanding. It seemed like the Meteorite Fragments were being used as bait to attract these apostles and supercats.

    ¡°Besides domestic resistance, we are also facing the resistance from foreign countries, especially the Americans.¡± Kaede Hattori said fiercely, ¡°The Americans have been striving to interfere with our development. The same goes for our supernatural world. The Special Higher Police has been under pressure in many areas as a result of the Americans¡¯ sabotage. At this wedding, the Americans will surely think of a way to limit us.¡±

    Kaede Hattori¡¯s eyes emitted numerous rays. ¡°Now, I am finally strong enough to go against them. At this wedding, besides uniting our scattered domestic talents, we can carefully circumvent American interference. That is if they dare to directly intervene...¡± Kaede Hattori¡¯s words were filled with murderous intent.

    Kaede Hattori showed Zhao Yao the detailed ns of the wedding and targets for every supernatural force.

    Having passed the test, followed by the interaction with Kaede Hattori, Zhao Yao¡¯s mission panel once again showed new changes.

    Chain Mission: Kaede Hattori¡¯s Wild Ambitions

    Mission Objective: Help Kaede Hattori realize his ambitions step by step. Step 2, help Kaede Hattori conquer the supernatural forces at the wedding.

    Mission Reward: Conquer different forces and receive varying missionpletion rates. Missionpletion advances by ten percent. The rewards are based on thepletion rate of the whole chain of missions and include a vast amount of experience points, the Paralysis Ring, the Dragon ying Saber, activating a new ability, and more great rewards.

    Mission Penalty: None

    Zhao Yao looked at the mission reward contents and noticed a long list of names which he had just seen in the ns. They were the apostles and supercats who would be going to the wedding. Converting different targets yielded different rewards.

    ¡°Thepletion rates of these missions add up to fifty percent. Together with the ten percent I got frompleting the test, the total is sixty percent. Seems like there are not that many remaining tasks.¡±

    The week before the wedding, Zhao Yao frequently disguised himself as Mr. Yamada to treat Kappei Hattori at his house both day and night. He continued asking for tasks.

    During this time, Bai Quan brought along Cannon to roam around. Bai Quan was skilled enough for Zhao Yao to not worry that he would be captured by the Special Higher Police. However, he reminded Bai Quan to attend the wedding to help out.

    ...

    The night before the wedding.

    Zhao Yao, masquerading as Mr. Yamada, stood in Kappei Hattori¡¯s room. He watched him y with the handphone underneath the nket and hung his head.

    ¡°This is hopeless. After being brainwashed to y games daily for a week, he¡¯spletely addicted.¡± He lifted his head and nced at Kappei Hattori. He was licking the screen, on it, a golden-haired female rider.

    ¡°D*mn, aplete Otaku and...¡± Zhao Yao looked at the anime body pillow which was tightly wrapped between Kappei Hattori¡¯s legs. Then he looked at the sex doll on the other side of the bed and the pillow shaped like breasts behind Kappei Hattori¡¯s head. Zhao Yao felt disheartened. ¡°I can bear with this Otaku, but three addictions and he¡¯s a lost cause.¡±

    Having experienced pleasure that exceeded that of lovemaking, then been brainwashed by Old Cat to y games and watch anime for seven consecutive days, Kappei Hattori hadpletely lost interest in real women. Instead, he was addicted to anime women.

    Zhao Yao called out to Kappei Hattori, ¡°Kappei, you are getting married tomorrow. Do sleep early tonight.¡±

    Kappei Hattori lifted up his head, hugged the sex doll by the headboard and shouted, ¡°Senior Yamada, I have decided to marry Misaki Kanda¡ªsex doll. I will not attend tomorrow¡¯s wedding.¡±

    ¡°D*mn, the healing has gone from bad to worse.¡± Zhao Yao looked at Kappei Hattori and said, ¡°Misaki Kanda will dete. Give it a year or so and it will be very, very t.¡±

    ¡°Not an issue, I will inte Misaki Kanda every day.¡± Kappei Hattori said, ¡°She is the only who will quietly keep mepany. She is my true soulmate.¡±

    After seeing the way Kappei Hattori was tightly hugging the sex doll, Zhao Yao was so enraged that he flicked his finger out and used the Deflective Field to poke at the sex doll until it exploded.

    Kappei Hattori screamed and hugged the sex doll sadly. ¡°Misaki Kanda! Are you going to leave me too?¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and said, ¡°Very good, your girlfriend has beenpletely deted. You will now be able to attend the wedding tomorrow in good shape.¡±

    Kappei Hattori had already thrown Misaki Kanda in the trash can. He sat in front of theputer and started browsing online. He said with a wretched face, ¡°No problem, I have already ordered new dolls¡ª Cat Ears Anime, Lolita Anime, ck Straight Haired Anime, Schwarzenegger, Stallone and Jackie Chan...¡±

    ¡°D*mn you!¡± Zhao Yao pped Kappei Hattori and sent him reeling to the ground. ¡°You¡¯re a lost cause! This guy ispletely hopeless. The wedding cannot happen.¡±

    After looking at the mission panel, Zhao Yao discovered he hadpleted his mission. Kappei Hattori had gotten rid of his muttion addiction even though he became an Otaku. As such, Zhao Yao obtained two thousand experience points.

    ¡°However, this cannot work. He is unable to get married in this state.¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought, ¡°Tomorrow, I will think of a way for the wedding to proceed so that I can conquer the attending apostles and supercats. Afterpleting the chain mission, I will stop the wedding and think of a way to treat Kappei Hattori.¡±

    While Zhao Yao was thinking of the next day¡¯s wedding in Kappei Hattori¡¯s room, he heard footsteps outside the door. Kaede Hattori was standing and shouted, ¡°Kappei, why haven¡¯t you tried on your wedding suit? Hanzo said you have been hiding in your room for a week. What are you up to?¡±

    Kappei Hattori shouted while lying on the floor, ¡°Don¡¯t bother me. I have my own life and do not need you to meddle in my affairs.¡±

    Kaede Hattori looked forlorn. His brother was not like this before.

    As an esteemed Japanese n, the Hattori family had strict teachings about the patriarchy. His brother¡¯s insolence led Kaede Hattori to kick open the door and rush in. He looked sternly at Kappei Hattori who was lying on the floor. ¡°This is preposterous. Is this how you talk to your elder?¡±

    He suddenly noticed Mr. Yamada and bowed his head in embarrassment. ¡°Mr. Yamada, you are here too?¡±

    Zhao Yao quickly nodded his head and said, ¡°Yes, yes, I came here to investigate Kappei¡¯s recovery. If there are no other matters I need to attend to, I will make a move.¡± Zhao Yao would naturally take a detour beforeing back to see the show.

    After watching Mr. Yamada leave, Kaede Hattori looked at Kappei Hattori in anguish and said, ¡°Kappei, how long is this decadence going tost? Stop wasting away at home and disgracing the Hattori n. Pull yourself together.¡±

    Kaede Hattori thought that Kappei Hattori¡¯s continued decadence was due to the serious injury to the lower bottom part of his body.

    Upon hearing the words, Kappei Hattori jumped up from the floor and shouted, ¡°How annoying, do not use your seniority as my elder brother to lecture me. I am merely staying at home, not doing bad stuff. I hate going out!¡±

    Kaede Hattori¡¯s eyes emitted cold rays such that Kappei Hattori trembled in fear and said, ¡°What! What are you going to do? I do not want to go out! I want to stay at home forever!¡±

    ¡°Kappei Hattori, you disappoint me. As the eldest son of the Hattori family, I cannot let you continue this way.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head, witnessing Kaede Hattori drag Kappei Hattori out. ¡°Seems like the Hattori family is using tough measures. It is a pity that there is such an unloyal son in the family.¡±

    Roly Poly sprawled on Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulders and thought, ¡°This evil demon.¡±

    ...

    The next moment, Zhao Yao returned to the hotel. In the hotel¡¯s main hall, he found the Kujyo¡¯s maid, Kuroko, waiting for him.

    The little maid rushed towards him and shouted, ¡°Mr. Zhao, how are you doing...¡± She stopped abruptly, recalling that he did not know Japanese and looked for his two Japanese speaking friends in vain. As she was pondering what to do, Zhao Yao answered her in fluent Japanese via Old Cat.

    ¡°Greetings, how may I help you?¡±

    Kuroko put her hand to her chest and said, ¡°So you know how to speak Japanese? That is good, I am here to give you the invitation card to Nanako¡¯s wedding tomorrow. She hopes that you are able toe.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Zhao Yao took the invitation card from her hands. Nanako had really invited him and Bai Quan.

    His original n was to sneak into the wedding andplete his mission discreetly.

    Seeing Zhao Yao¡¯s reluctance, Kuroko whispered, ¡°Miss Nanako really hopes that you and Bai Quan will attend her wedding as the both of you are her only true friends.¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled and thought, ¡°I wonder if Nanako knows about Kappei Hattori¡¯s condition. Would she still consider us her friends?¡± Frowning, Zhao Yao pondered for a while and said, ¡°I appreciate Nanako¡¯s gesture. Do not worry, I will attend the wedding on time tomorrow.¡±

    After waving goodbye to the maid, Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Anyway, I could make my moves discreetly. Attending the wedding should pose no problems. It could be a good cover.¡±

    That night, Zhao Yao stayed in the hotel to sleep instead of going out for a mission, which was rare. He was preparing for the great deeds he would do at the wedding.

    ...

    The Kujyo family¡¯s home.

    Nanako, who was adorned in her grand bridal costume, looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes gleamed withplex feelings.

    Sylvie walked over to her side and said softly, ¡°Mydy, the invitation card has been given to Zhao Yao.¡±

    Nanako¡¯s gaze flickered for a moment and she said, ¡°Thank you, Sylvie, for keeping this matter from my elder brother.¡±

    ¡°Mydy, this is my duty.¡± Sylvie looked at Nanako¡¯s reflection and said, ¡°This kimono suits you. You will definitely be the most beautifuldy at the ceremony tomorrow.¡±

    Nanako looked into the mirror, touching her cheeks, and blurted, ¡°Sylvie, if I back out now, what are the consequences?¡±

    Sylvie was taken aback. She caressed Nanako¡¯s hair gently and said, ¡°Mydy, do not worry. I shall apany you to the Hattori family. I will not let anyone harm you.¡±

    Nanako smiled gently. ¡°It is okay, I am joking.¡± She understood clearly that now there was no way she could back out. Neither she nor the Kujyo family would be able to withstand the wrath of the Hattori n.

    ...

    In Hokkaido, in the field of avender farm.

    Cannon and a pure white Persian catid side by side. Cannon licked the Persian cat¡¯s fur and said with a gentle face, ¡°Sakura, you are my sun.¡±

    Persian cat giggled and said, ¡°Then what are you?¡±

    Cannon smiledsciviously, ¡°I am obviously your Hou Yi (a legendary Chinese hero who shot down nine suns with his arrows).¡±

    ¡°You are bad.¡±

    Both cats were entangled in each other when a male voice boomed like thunder from the sky, ¡°Cannon! Get your ass over here! We are going to the wedding!¡±

    Cannon kept his wits and said to the Persian cat, ¡°If anyone looks for me, do not ever say that I was here.¡±

    ...

    The next day, the grand wedding proceeded as nned.

    As requested by Kaede Hattori, the traditional Japanese ceremony was substituted with a western ceremony to facilitate interactions between him and his guests.

    Numerous limousines were parked in front of a huge luxurious hotel. Famous and rich elites strolled into the grand hall. Of course, among the guests were included powerful apostles and supercats from all over Japan.

    The lively wedding reception bustled with activity in the middle of a stadium-sized banquet hall.

    There was a special section reserved especially for supercats. In this section, various cat cuisines and pure distilled water were catered for the guests.

    Zhao Yao walked into the banquet hall with his stolen western suit. Looking around, he thought, ¡°Hmm, the Meteorite Fragments are indeed attractive, a lot of apostles are here.¡±

 Chapter 569: Banquet Begins

    <h4>Chapter 569: Banquet Begins</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    In the banquet hall, both humans and supercats were strolling around.

    For the upper echelon of Japanese society, supercats were no longer a secret. Most of the wedding guests were already aware of their existence, so they were not taken aback by the presence of the supercats.

    In fact, for the world¡¯s top 5%, possessing a powerful supercat was a bragging right. Because of this, the rich used any means they could to obtain one.

    Observing the lively banquet hall scene, especially the beautiful and elegant supercats, excited Matcha, Fish Ball, and Lightning, who were at the top of the supercat armor.

    Fish Ball pointed to a strolling Ragdoll cat that had a raised tail and said, ¡°Look at that broad! She¡¯s so hot. I want to sleep with her.¡±

    Lightning squinted his eyes and said, ¡°I bet ten dors you can¡¯t get her.¡±

    Matcha said with a thick-skin, ¡°Fish Ball, once you¡¯ve got her, could you introduce her to me?¡±

    After a heated discussion amongst the three cats, Fish Ball sighed, ¡°Even if I wanted to, I am unable to do so. Zhao Yao wanted us to stay close and protect him. There¡¯s no time for skirt chasing.¡±

    Matcha patted his chest and said, ¡°Leave Zhao Yao to me.¡±

    Of course, their conversation was done privately in their minds so no one could hear it.

    Under the admiring looks of Fish Ball and Lightning, Matcha climbed on Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulders, leaned to his ear and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, we are going to help you gather intelligence. Let¡¯s see what these Japanese cats are up to.¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at Matcha condescendingly, ¡°You are able to gather intelligence? I am afraid that you¡¯d be giving our information away instead.¡±

    Matcha immediately shouted, ¡°Howe? I had been through many battles with you¡ªpitted against killer cats, lost to cat thieves, punched multi-level marketers, kicked cat smugglers. How can you not trust me?¡±

    ¡°Silly boy.¡± Zhao Yao caressed Matcha and said, ¡°It is not that I do not trust you, I do not trust your intelligence. Remember, it has been professionally tested. Just stay by my side. There are a lot of bad cats outside, you will be easily duped if you go.¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao, didn¡¯t you want me to go on a diet?¡± Matcha immediately retorted, ¡°If you let the three of us gather intelligence, I will diet once we return back to our country.¡±

    Zhao Yao was slightly piqued, however, he replied, ¡°Your dieting is not for me but for yourself.¡±

    ¡°Got it.¡± Matcha looked at Zhao Yao with a puppy face, both paws sped together in a prayer-like position and begged, ¡°Please Zhao Yao, agree to this and I will seriously go on a diet. Only regr meals and no snacks. No stealing of food from others and no secret night suppers.¡±

    Seeing Matcha¡¯s puppy face, Zhao Yao frowned. ¡°Okay, okay, go and y.¡± The supercat armor was still a formidable force even if itcked Matcha, Lightning, and Fish Ball. Moreover, Sphynx cat was on standby in the Extradimensional Belly.

    Matcha shouted in excitement. The next moment, Matcha ran off with Fish Ball and Lightning in a sh.

    The three cats secretly trailed behind the previously targeted Ragdoll cat. Lightning cajoled, ¡°Go ahead Fish Ball. I raise the stake to fifty dors. You won¡¯t be able to get her.¡±

    Matcha said excitedly, ¡°Fish Ball, do you think she likes me? I think she just looked at me just now.¡±

    ¡°Pooh, pooh.¡± Fish Ball spat twice on his paw and startedbing his head fur with his front paw. After finallybing it into ce, he walked towards the Ragdoll cat.

    ¡°Greetings, I am Bond, James Bond.¡± Fish Ball leaned his paw against the wall by thedy¡¯s side and smiled without restraint. ¡°Interested in having a drink with me?¡±

    ¡°Trash.¡± The Ragdoll cat red at him with disdain and said, ¡°Open your dog eyes and look at yourself. You¡¯re just a tomcat.¡± The Ragdoll cat turned around, fiercely swiped herrge furry tail on Fish Ball¡¯s body and left without looking back.

    ¡°Ah?¡± Fish Ball sniffed hard a few times and said in shock, ¡°Really, a tomcat?¡±

    Zhao Yao stood at a distance observing the three cats for a short while. Themotion on the other side of the room quickly drew his attention.

    He saw Kaede Hattori walk in. Along his path, many influential elites and apostles tried to engage in small talk with him, but he only showed a nk face. Those who quietly surrounded Kaede Hattori were transfixed by the Divine Rays of Terror, unable to muster the courage to take a step forward.

    With the arrival of Kaede Hattori, the temperature of the banquet hall seemed to drop. As if the banquet hall was invaded by a flood of wild beasts the sounds of chattering slowly dissipated.

    Hideki Kujyo, who was watching the scene, frowned slightly and said, ¡°The Divine Rays of Terror have be more terrifying.¡±

    By his side, a middle-aged samurai-d man smiled and said, ¡°That has piqued my interest even more.¡±

    Hideki Kujyo looked at the samurai and kept quiet. This samurai, who was frequently with Hideki Kujyo, was Japan¡¯s current top samurai and master swordsman, Kazuhiko Yagyu. Prior to the awakening of superpowers, Kazuhiko Yagyu was already a famous martial artist in Japan.

    In the supernatural realm, he had another alias¡ª Kensei Yagyu. He was the apostle that mastered the shadow superpower. He was previously recognized as being on the same level as Kaede Hattori, one of the top apostles in Japan.

    Zhao Yao had defeated a couple apostles under Kazuhiko Yagyu.

    After defeating the Spirit Army and taking control of Special Higher Police, Kaede Hattori was no longer one of the top apostles in Japan. He was the top apostle.

    At this moment, Kensei Yagyu gazed at Kaede Hattori without any fear. The gaze exuded a fiery desire for battle.

    Hideki Kujyo, who was by his side, said lightly, ¡°Do not act rashly, Master Yagyu. You will have a chance at a fair duel with him this time.¡±

    Kensei Yagyu opened his mouth, revealing his teeth like a ferocious beast bears a cruel smile.

    ¡°Looking forward to it.¡±

    At this instance, Hideki Kujyo¡¯s brow quivered slightly. Kensei Yagyu looked in the direction of his gaze and discovered the distant Zhao Yao.

    Kensei Yagyu said, ¡°Oh? Why is the Chinese man here?¡±

    Hideki Kujyo frowned, ¡°Must be Nanako who gave him the invitation card. He is like a ghost that cannot be exorcized.¡±

    Kensei Yagyuughed and said, ¡°Maybe his eyes are on the Kujyo fortune. Need my help to finish him off? During the battle, it will be a convenient affair.¡±

    Hideki Kujyo hardened his face and said, ¡°I¡¯m counting on you.¡±

    ¡°A small convenient matter...¡± Kensei Yagyu stroked his sparse goatee on his lower chin and said, ¡°I remember... my disciple was defeated by him.¡±

    Kensei Yagyu had had three disciples who were vanquished in China. One of them was defeated on the way to Zhao Yao¡¯s house to find Nanako. The next one was embroiled in a loan-sharking incident. Thest one was remanded by the Chinese government at a supercat auction.

    ¡°Now is a good opportunity to settle old scores.¡± Kensei Yagyu smiled, ¡°Although my disciples were ipetent, I, as their master, will not forgive their enemy.

    After settling matters here, I intend to visit China to test my swordsmanship and at the same time that Chinese guy who defeated my two disciples.

    Hideki Kujyo gently nodded and said, ¡°Let me wish you a safe return ahead of time.¡± Compared to Kaede Hattori, who was both highly skilled and immensely influential, Kensei Yagyu was merely highly skilled.

    Sometimes, this type of person could be more terrifying than Kaede Hattori. However, this was rare. Mostly they were easier to understand and control.

    Kaede Hattori ignored those who approached him to build rapport and found a ce to sit down, disregarding the reaction of the guests. He took out his phone and called Mr. Yamada, who was supposed to assist him today.

    No matter how many calls he made, no one answered. Kaede Hattori furrowed his brows deeper. ¡°What is happening? Where is Mr. Yamada?¡±

    In order to prevent his secret from being discovered, Zhao Yao had imprisoned Mr. Yamada in the Extradimensional Belly a few days ago. Mr. Yamada was currently cleaning the toilet with Matsuo and Faceless. Kaede Hattori was not aware of all of this.

    ¡°Mr. Yamada¡¯s loyalty level is 120. He will not betray me. Something must have happened.¡± Kaede Hattori immediately informed his subordinates to investigate the whereabouts of Mr. Yamada.

    ¡°Could it be the Americans?¡± Kaede Hattori squinted his eyes.

    He felt his body constantly absorb the fearful energy around him. He could sense the continuous extension of the Divine Rays of Terror. Kaede Hattori exuded an aura of absolute control. ¡°This isn¡¯t an issue. With absolute power, any devious ns or trickery are just child¡¯s y. I currently have absolute power.¡±

    After conversing a bit with Japan¡¯s powerful elite, Kaede Hattori could clearly feel that the Divine Rays of Terror were extending at an incredible rate. They were growing so fast that they had reached an inconceivable level of power.

    It only took a few small trials for Kaede Hattori to realize the true depth of his power, after which he was deeply astonished.

    He could feel it... His abilities had reached a level beyond imagination.

    Looking at the crowd in the hall, Kaede Hattori¡¯s gaze was unconsciously scornful. ¡°While all of you are seeking fame and fortune, I have unknowinglypleted my metamorphosis. I am slowly ascending to the status of God.¡±

    The wedding banquet proceeded normally. Many celebrities and apostles engaged in small talk and drank. The atmosphere became more lively and festive.

    With the arrival of the bride and bridegroom, the atmosphere of the wedding instantly peaked.

    Kappei Hattori walked stiffly to the pastor. His eyes revealed a strong sense of terror.

    Noticing his expression, Kaede Hattori scoffed, ¡°Act normally or I will burn down your room.¡±

    Hearing these words from his earpiece, Kappei Hattori¡¯s head broke out in cold sweat. ¡°F*ck! I¡¯vee so far. For the sake of Misaki Kanda and the rest, I willpromise and sacrifice myself.¡±

    Nanako noticed Kappei Hattori¡¯s expression and said softly, ¡°What happened to him? Seems like an expression of reluctance.¡±

    Sylvie, who was by her side, exined, ¡°Master Kappei must be too nervous. Don¡¯t worry mydy. There is nothing to worry about.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head and thought, ¡°Looks like Kaede Hattori has already grounded Kappei Hattori. However, with Kappei Hattori¡¯s current situation, I cannot allow Nanako to get into this mess.¡±

    He nced at the mission panel. Upon entering the banquet hall, he would receive a mission.

    Mission: Stop the wedding!

    Mission Objective: How can I let my good friends get lost in this quagmire and do nothing? Stop Kappei Hattori and Nanako¡¯s wedding.

    Reward: 500 experience points

    Punishment: None

    ¡°I¡¯m not doing this for the experience points. This is just for me. I cannot stand by and let my good friends jump into this quagmire and do nothing.

    So be it. Later when I defeat every target, the mission will definitely bepleted. As for the n of stopping the wedding, I¡¯ll move it ahead.¡±

    The wedding proceeded as nned. The attending guests presented their wishes to the bride and bridegroom.

    When the pastor asked Kappei Hattori whether he was willing to marry his bride, his eyes showed a strong sense of reluctance.

    Kaede Hattori immediately cajoled, ¡°What are you doing? Answer quickly! Are you going to disgrace the Hattori n?¡±

    Kappei Hattori¡¯s eyes capitted. As he was about to say he was willing, his body froze. In the far distance, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes shone with crimson rays. He hadplete control of Kappei Hattori.

    The manipted Kappei Hattori opened his mouth and said directly, ¡°No.¡±

    Upon hearing his words, the pastor was dumbfounded. The attending guests were outraged.

    The manipted Kappei Hattori rushed forward and kicked the pastor onto the floor. Looking at Nanako, he said, ¡°Sorry Nanako, I cannot go through with this wedding because I do not like women.¡±

    Everyone looked at Kappei Hattori with astonishment. Kaede Hattori¡¯s forehead was breaking with numerous green veins.

    ¡°Kappei Hattori!¡± Kaede Hattori stood up immediately, red fiercely at Kappei Hattori and shouted, ¡°Do you know what you are doing?¡±

    ¡°You better sit down!¡± Kappei Hattori looked at Kaede Hattori and shouted, ¡°What authority do you have to lecture me? You are not the eldest son of the Hattori¡¯s family!¡±

    Kaede Hattori waspletely taken aback by the reaction. He red and said, ¡°What are you saying?¡±

    Kappei Hattori shouted, ¡°Because you are not actually my father¡¯s son!¡±

    Kaede Hattori replied, ¡°D*mn!¡± His body shone with the fierce intensity of the Divine Rays of Terror, causing everyone¡¯s body to stiffen and sweat profusely. Before Kaede Hattori could act, Kappei Hattori spoke again.

    Kappei Hattori was terrified on the inside, yet his face showed no traces of fear. Kappei Hattori pointed at Kaede Hattori and said, ¡°If you do not believe me, go and ask our mother.¡±

    Zhao Yao relinquished control of Kappei Hattori and he copsed to the floor. His body was sweating profusely. He wanted to exin.

    An older woman, controlled by Zhao Yao, came forward. She was Kappei Hattori¡¯s mother and said, ¡°Kappei Hattori is correct. Kaede, you are not Aoyama¡¯s real son. You are the son of our chauffeur, Wang Sang.

    On the day of the huge thunderstorm, there was a ckout. I went looking for Wang Sang to repair the electric circuit board. I went into his room and it was dark. I identally tripped into his arms and ...¡±

    After Kaede Hattori and Kappei Hattori¡¯s mother had finished her revtion, everyone was outraged and looked at Kaede Hattori¡¯s father, Aoyama Hattori.

    Zhao Yao smiled and flicked his finger to activate his power of illusion. A green hat floated down andnded on Aoyama Hattori¡¯s head before anyone had the time to look at him.

    With Zhao Yao¡¯s power of illusion, everyone was able to see the green hat, except the Hattori family.

    Hideki Kujyo furrowed his brows. ¡°This feeling of unease again... simr to the incident with Mr. Yamada, as if there is something in the air...¡±

    It was as though lightning had struck and exploded something in Kaede Hattori¡¯s mind. He looked at his mother in disbelief. The crimson blood rays on his body pulsated violently.

    Aoyama Hattori, with the green hat on his head, extended his finger and pointed at his wife beside him, his body trembling with rage.

    Aoyama¡¯s wife felt that her body was no longer under her control and shouted immediately, ¡°No, that¡¯s not true!¡±

    However, another man who was under Zhao Yao¡¯s control came forward¡ª the chauffeur Wang Sang. He said, ¡°Master and Madam, extreme apologies. On that day, I was hiding in the room discreetly watching AV when the ckout happened. A man opened the door, rushed in and chased me out.

    So the man who was with Madam on that day... was not me. He was the deceased Lord Matsuyama Hattori.

    Young master Kaede is not your son. He is your brother.¡±

    Pooh! Aoyama Hattori spat out a mouthful of blood. Kaede Hattori took a few steps back. His face was shocked in a trancelike state.

    ¡°False.¡± At this moment, another old woman, again under Zhao Yao¡¯s control, came forward. Aoyama Hattori looked at her and said fearfully, ¡°Dearest mother.¡±

    Aoyama Hattori¡¯s mother said, ¡°Aoyama, you are not rted to Kaede because you are not your father¡¯s son. You are the son of my agent Matsuyoshi and I.¡±

    Bam! The green veins on Aoyama Hattori¡¯s head pulsated violently.

    Everyone in the banquet hall was too distracted by this series of unexpected events to care about the wedding ceremony.

    Everyone was drawn to the big show. To them, it was extremely surprising and exciting. It was a hundred times more entertaining than a wedding.

    That was Zhao Yao¡¯s intention. In fact, the words from the manipted people could be easily verified. Using this distraction as a means to stop the wedding was sufficient.

    By the time the Hattori family verified the truth, Zhao Yao would have longpleted the chain missions and dragged the Hattori family through the mud. The actual truth would not matter anymore.

    ¡°Enough!¡± Kaede Hattori roared. Following the outburst, blood-colored rays radiated from his body in all directions.

    Everyone in the banquet hall felt as though they had been drenched by a pail of cold water. Goosebumps surfaced all over their bodies and unspeakable terror silenced them.

    Kaede Hattori had already shown mercy. If he had exerted his full force, more than half of the guests would have been driven either to death or insanity by the terror.

    After stunning everyone with this move, Kaede Hattori coldly said, ¡°Mother and grandmother, you are too tired today. Because of neurasthenia, you are spouting nonsense. Hanzo, apany them back home to rest.¡±

    Immediately, a Special Higher Police officer came forward and brought the two women away.

    Next, Kaede Hattori looked at the chauffeur Wang Sang and said, ¡°Wang, I know that you are a good person. Go back and rest a little.¡±

    Kaede Hattori had survived countless battles and devious schemes, so he was an experienced man. Using only a few words, he managed to pacify the crowd and control the situation.

    He understood that someone was sabotaging the wedding. However, in such a short time, exining the truth was not easy and the exnations could make matters worse. He let that option go. It was faster and more effective to use brute force to intervene.

    The wedding had already be a farce and could not be finalized.

    It was just Kaede Hattori¡¯s excuse for his n, anyway. He slowly drifted towards Kappei Hattori and said, ¡°Kappei, where is the ring that I gave you? Take it out. There are problems with the wedding so it will be an engagement instead. You and Nanako will be engaged today.¡±

    Kappei Hattori felt his heart beating at the same rhythm as Kaede Hattori¡¯s nearing footsteps. His body trembled with horror. He had no intention of resisting and took out an anti-radiation box from his chest.

    Once the anti-radiation box opened, everyone¡¯s gaze locked onto the ring held by Kappei Hattori.

    Inside the ring¡¯s settings were neither precious stones nor diamonds. They were not topaz, sapphire, jade or pearl. There was a strange mystical rock. Though it looked normal, it attracted the attention of all the apostles and supercats.

    When the ring was taken out of the anti-radiation box, all apostles, especially the supercats, felt majestic energy fill the air. When inhaling said air, the supercats felt changes to their superpower that they had not felt for a long time.

    ¡°The Meteorite Fragments!¡±

    ¡°The Meteorite Fragments are set in the wedding ring.¡±

    ¡°This feeling... confirms the rumours¡ªThe Meteorite Fragments can increase the power of supercats!¡±

    Hideki Kujyo locked his gaze on the Meteorite Fragments ring and thought, ¡°I wondered how long the Meteorite Fragments have been in the hands of the Hattori n. The meteoric rise of Kaede Hattori could be the result of the Meteorite Fragments. They definitely used them to increase the power of Kaede¡¯s supercats.¡±

    Before eyes that were filled with greed, surprise, and envy, the Meteorite ring was slowly put on Nanako¡¯s finger.

    The door of the banquet hall was kicked open and dozens of ck-d Americans marched inside in an orderly fashion.

    The leader was a golden-haired man with arge muscr build. He was over two meters tall and his arms were as thick as thighs. He looked like the Titan giants from the legends. He looked down on all the Japanese.

    A member of the Special Higher Police walked up to them and shouted, ¡°Who are you? We are hosting an important wedding. Please leave immediately!¡±

    After being confronted by the Special Higher Police officer, the little giant smiled in disdain and punched in the air. The Special Higher Police officer flew out and smashed against the wall with a loud crash. They couldn¡¯t tell if he was still dead or alive.

    All the Special Higher Police officers stood up and rushed towards the little giant with murderous intent.

    Heughed heartily and said, ¡°You Japanese are too weak. Let me teach you what a real battle looks like.¡±

    ¡°Titan...¡± Zhao Yao looked at him with anticipation for a good show. ¡°... The elite American Delta Force member. After his apostle potential awakened, he was sent to Japan and stationed there permanently. He is endowed with gravitational power. Titan is just his alias and not his real name.

    For safety and secrecy, the powerful apostles of the American unit only use aliases while executing their mission and not their real names.¡±

    Titan¡¯s aggressive stance ignited the fury of all the Japanese apostles.

    However, Kaede Hattori remained calm andposed. Looking at the arrogant Titan, he coldly said, ¡°Titan, I am giving you 15 seconds to kneel down and apologize. Otherwise, not even Apollo can save you.¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought, ¡°Apollo, the strongest American apostle who is stationed in Japan. Is he here now?¡±

    Hearing Kaede Hattori¡¯s words, Titanughed wildly and said, ¡°We suspect the Special Higher Police of stealing the Meteorite Fragments from aboratory in Maine and conducting inhuman bio-chemical experiments. Experiments on the human body.

    The American government has negotiated with the Japanese government. You are to disband the Special Higher Police within 72 hours, surrender the Meteorite Fragments and ept the CIA¡¯s thorough investigation. If you fail to do so, we will execute a precision strike against the Special Higher Police and terminate this anti-human terrorist organization. Today¡¯s action is your first warning.¡±

    Kaede Hattori¡¯s brows raised instantly. ¡°Such arrogance.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°The Americans are as per usual simply brutal. They¡¯ve seen how quickly the Special Higher Police has grown... do they intend to terminate them with a single blow? They apparently do not want to see a united Japanese supernatural world. Kaede Hattori will not yield easily.¡±

    Kaede Hattori suddenly stood up and grasped the air with a single hand. Blood rays materialized from the thin air and rushed towards Titan.

    Titan lifted his hand and punched the air in front of him, causing the spread of a focused gravitational wave. However, the gravitational wave had no effect on the blood rays. The blood rays easily passed through the gravitational wave and permeated Titan¡¯s body.

    Titan¡¯s face was immediately violently distorted. His forehead sweat profusely and his eyes revealed profound terror.

    Regardless, he braced himself and did not copse. Heughed wildly and said, ¡°Hahahaha, are these the Divine Rays of Terror? Not very terrifying. They don¡¯te close to the s*it that I sniffed at home.¡±

    He mmed his palm down and a violent gravitational force engulfed the entire hall. All people and cats instantly felt as though their bodies were burdened by an unbearable weight and copsed to the floor. They let out shocked cries and screams of pain.

    ¡°This... This is Titan¡¯s Gravity Frenzy.¡±

    ¡°Why did the Americans attack?¡±

    ¡°God, we are all going to die!¡±

    Kaede Hattori¡¯s body sank a little before the blood rays apanying his body stopped him. The power of the Divine Rays of Terror negated the effect of the gravitational force.

    Hideki Kujyo staggered. Before he fell t, Kensei Yagyu, who was by his side, unsheathed his sword and shed the air. The shadow of his movement transformed into a huge throne that shielded their backs.

    Zhao Yao was standing motionless. The Deflective Field protected him so he was nonchnt about these attacks. He walked silently to one side and grabbed Matcha, Fish Ball, and Lightning.

    Many apostles were unable to fend off such unexpected gravitational force attack and fell t. It was a chaotic scene.

    Titan roared, ¡°Kaede Hattori, you dared resist investigation and attack special agents. Prepare to face the music of the international court! Capture this terrorist!¡±

    Although his order was to capture, the American troops all lined their guns on Kaede Hattori¡¯s body. Gunshots rang in the air. A dense metal storm engulfed Kaede Hattori from all sides, intending to perforate him like a ho¡¯s nest.

    Faced with such an attack, Kaede Hattori did not lose hisposure. Blood rays materialized from thin air and shielded his torso. The moment they touched the Divine Rays of Terror, the bullets were distorted like fried braided dough and fell to the ground.

    The previous time he had exerted his power, he had had to release his inner terrifying demons before they could erode reality. Now, the distortion of reality by the Divine Rays of Terror was an easy affair for Kaede Hattori. It was simple as taking a stroll in the park.

    Looking at the squad¡¯s incessant firing, Kaede Hattoriughed and waved his hand. Waves of crimson blood, several meters tall, emerged from the ground and swallowed one of the American warriors.

    ¡°Titan, even if Apollo were here today, he would not dare say such things to me.¡± Kaede Hattori advanced step by step. The blood wave swallowed another American officer. It was like walking in hell.¡±

    Following Kaede Hattori¡¯s footsteps, strong feelings of terror prated Titan¡¯s consciousness. They stiffened his muscles, awoke deep terror inside of him and elerated his heartbeat.

    Some resign themselves to fear while facing terror, while others fight to the death under the pressure of fear.

    Titan, who had gone through countless life and death situations, belonged to thetter category. His face donned a hideous expression and he clenched both his fists. The air was vibrating and a powerful gravitational force concentrated above his fists. The force continued to rise! And rise! And rise!

    The ground around Titan shook violently. Tables, chairs, bricks, and cement slowly floated up into the sky.

    As he gathered his power, Titan stared at Kaede Hattori andughed. ¡°Kaede Hattori! You are such a fool. To think that you dare to fight us? Are you going to fight against the most powerful country in the world? The Japanese government will give up on you.¡±

    ¡°Titan.¡± The blood wave emerged from underneath Titan¡¯s feet and swallowed his entire body. Only his head was left unswallowed.

    Kaede Hattori took pleasure in the Divine Rays of Terror covering his body and Titan¡¯s terrified expression. Kaede Hattori walked to face him and softly said, ¡°So, are you prepared to fight against the most powerful apostle in the world?¡±

    The next moment, the blood wave swallowed Titan¡¯s head. In vain, Titan struggled like a worm on amber. His face was so overwhelmed with terror that it was warped like a hell-born devil.

 Chapter 573: Kensei

    <h4>Chapter 573: Kensei</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    Following Kaede Hattori¡¯s move, Hideki Kujyo¡¯s eyes brightened abruptly. ¡°What a fool! A direct move? Absolute power has made him arrogant.¡±

    After all the other Japanese and the Special Higher Police members witnessing the scene were dumbstruck and terrified. Their anxiety was greater than the joy from the victory.

    The price to pay for direct confrontation with the American was too great. Although they hated the Americans for their arrogance and oppressive behavior towards Japan, this direct confrontation and disregard for diplomatic rtions had great repercussions. It would cause a series of chain reactions with Japan definitely on the losing end.

    After Kaede Hattori defeated Titan, it was finally Kensei Yagyu¡¯s turn to make a move.

    His hands slowly came out from underneath his samurai costume. They were pure white and perfect and exuded a strange and fascinating aura. He moved with a samurai sword tightly sped in both his hands.

    Compared to the previously discreet unsheathing and shing of the sword to fend off the gravitational attack, Kensei Yagyu currently showcased his samurai sword publicly. It seemed like an ordinary long sword, however, in the hands of Kensei Yagyu, it had a special mystical aura. Everyone¡¯s gaze gravitated to the tip of the sword.

    Kensei Yagyu advanced towards Kaede Hattori step by step.

    With every step, the entire banquet hall seemed to quiet.

    ¡°Kaede! Hattori!¡± Kensei Yagyu roared. shing and cutting down opponents was second nature to him, as he had done it millions of times. Kensei Yagyu was so gifted this was like breathing for him.

    ¡°After killing you, I will be the strongest in Japan.¡±

    Kensei Yagyu shed the air as though shing through chaos and separating the yin and the yang. The entire banquet hall was engulfed by both light and dark rays. A ck shadow in the form of a huge sword tip shot out and sliced through tables, chairs, air... before finallynding on Kaede Hattori¡¯s body.

    Kensei Yagyu¡¯s supercat had the following abilities: Shadow Concealment, Shadow Weapon, and Shadow Jump. Based on these abilities, his disciples had acquired huge fame.

    After witnessing Kensei Yagyu¡¯s abilities, everyone realized that Sato, Onitsuka, and Ishia had been much less talented than their master. The difference was like Heaven and Earth.

    Before the de could enter his body, a sky-high blood wave surrounded Kaede Hattori. Blood rays and dark shadows collided and canceled each other out, dissipating into the air. However, the impact left a little tear-shaped wound on Kaede Hattori¡¯s hand. An indication that he was notpletely shielded from the sword attack.

    Kaede Hattori eyed Kensei Yagyu and Hideki Kujyo and said coldly, ¡°So the Kujyo n is going to attempt the impossible and invite disaster?¡±

    Hideki Kujyo hollered and said with a righteous face, ¡°Kaede Hattori, you are obstinate, self-opinionated and indulge in willful aggression. You are deluded into using brute force and terror to dominate Japan. You have even secretly conducted research on biochemical weapons and caused the United Nations¡¯ tounch a crusade against Japan. I will not let you seed.¡±

    At the same time, several assistant directors of the Special Higher Police also came forward in support of Hideki Kujyo. They had already colluded with the Americans.

    They were also under the orders of certain Japanese ns that did not want to see the rapid rise of the Hattori n and the domination of the Japanese supernatural realm by Kaede Hattori. This violent reaction was due to Kaede Hattori¡¯s use of supernatural powers and his meteoric rise to power.

    Hideki Kujyo retreated feeling satisfied. The surrounding Japanese apostles looked at each other but no one made a move. When the situation was this unclear, how could they make rash decisions? Once there was a definite verdict, they would rush towards the loser like hyenas chasing down their victim.

    The faces of the Special Higher Police members were also showing signs of hesitation. Under the orders of the assistant directors, they surrounded Kaede Hattori without acting.

    sh, sh, sh, sh! Kensei Yagyu rushed forward whileughing. Upon execution of the four shes, dark lethal shadows, that looked like ck sword energy,nded on Kaede Hattori¡¯s head.

    Kaede Hattori¡¯s body cast an enormous blood wave that deflected Kensei Yagyu¡¯s attack with a boom.

    Hearing Hideki Kujyo¡¯s words, he said scornfully, ¡°Hmm, Hideki, are you colluding with the Americans too? Then there is no reason for Kujyo n to exist.¡±

    Kensei Yagyu made another sprint. His body transformed into various dark shadows and that evaded the Blood wave. Then he materialized in front of Kaede Hattori and thrust his sword towards him.

    The sword tip vibrated violently like an electric drill. Light and shadows were like a violent thunderstorm thatbined as dark sword energy. It shed through the blood wave and cut open Kaede Hattori¡¯s cuff.

    ¡°Kaede Hattori! Duel with me. Do you still have time for idle chit chat?¡±

    Whileughing wildly, Kensei Yagyupletely integrated the shadows. His Shadow Jump was simply too fast. It was like countless shadow warriors materialized from thin air, exuding an aura never felt before. He zoomed from underneath tables and chairs, behind curtains, from light sources, underneath feet and even from Kaede Hattori¡¯s own shadow, where he shed Kaede Hattori¡¯s body.

    The sword¡¯s reflection and shadow violently changed every second. Every change would spawn even more sword shes on Kaede Hattori.

    The fierce duel attracted everyone¡¯s attention.

    Zhao Yao was carrying a te of mango pudding. He happily ate as he watched the two of them duel. Feeling happy, he could not resist pping his hands and crooned, ¡°Excellent!¡± Some of the Japanese nced angrily at him.

    Hideki Kujyo fiercely red at Zhao Yao and thought, ¡°Fool.¡± Remembering that Kensei Yagyu had promised to ¡°identally¡± execute Zhao Yao, he decided to disregard him. He considered him dead.

    As Zhao Yao watched the duel, he thought, ¡°This sword-wielding fellow seems pretty strong. However, Kaede Hattori seems to be stronger. Seems like I will not be required in the mission to conquer the Japanese supernatural realm.¡± Thinking that he could earn experience points while cking, Zhao Yao felt wonderful.

    On the battlefield, Kaede Hattori seemed entirely engulfed by the sword tornado. The enormous blood wave was incessantly being cut, separated and broken apart.

    sh, sh, sh, sh, sh, sh, sh! Kensei Yagyu seemed to have forgotten the world around him facing Kaede Hattori, who dominated Japan. He exerted all his strength.

    All countries, situation, sword strokes and Special Higher Police officers were being pushed to the back of his mind. He was like a sword with the sole purpose of killing and the strongest, most ferocious resolution to terminate all until there was none.

    The blood wave in front of Kaede Hattori was torn apart by the sword shes. Kensei Yagyu opened his mouth, revealing a cruel smile. Wielding the long sword with infinite brilliance and darkness, he shed Kaede Hattori¡¯s neck fiercely.

    The atmosphere was raging and life trembled. Everyone¡¯s attention was attracted to the splendour bright light from Kensei Yagyu¡¯s de. In fact, the whole hall¡¯s lights diminished leaving behind thousands of shadows that merged together with the de. It brought death and destruction as it sh towards Kaede Hattori.

    This attack held all of Kensei Yagyu¡¯s belief. It was the perfect integration of his shadow abilities and swordsmanship, it was the strongest attack he had ever made.

    However, the next moment, from the void of space a pale white palm stretched out and blocked Kensei Yagyu¡¯s shadow des. Metallic sparks were produced from the friction between the palm and the de.

    More and more pale white palms appeared from the void of space and held onto the shdaow de one by one.

    Kensei Yagyu¡¯s attack got slower and slower till it gently stopped in front of Kaede Hattori.

    Numerous mysterious figures were looming in the void of space. The roof of the hall started to seep blood and many rotten hands reached out from below the ground. The hall was filled with women screaming and babies crying.

    Kaede Hattori¡¯s horrific world had arrived.

    ¡°Fight?¡¯ Kaede Hattori pondered softly. At the same time, the pale white palms from the void of space exterted force on the de together.The shadow de shattered and disappeared into thin air.

    Divine Rays of Terror converge towards Kaede Hattori and transformed into a blood red robe on him.

    He nced towards Kensei Yagyu who was stumblinig backwards andmented, ¡± The warmup just now was considered a fight?¡±

    As he spoke, more peculiar figures started appearing. Some were centipedes formed from human heads, some were monsters formed from several broken limbs and some were a blur shadow.

    Fear crept up everyone¡¯s spine. After seeing Kensei Yagyu¡¯s disbelief, Kaede Hattori shook his index finger and said, ¡°All of you have no idea how strong I am. Such ignorance is the only reason why you dare to attack me. ¡±

    While speaking, all the peculiar creatures have swarmed towards Kensei Yagyu. However, this time Kensei Yagyu¡¯s des were no longer as powerful.

    On contrary the creatures and monster, some had no form, some had skin as hard as metal, some spat water and fire and some could revive immediately after death.

    In the horrific world, all these creatures were formed from the Divine Rays of Terror. As long as Kaede Hattori¡¯s Divine Rays of Terror does not end, there would be endless of them.

    When one creature has been ughtered, two other creatures would appear. When two creatures were sliced into half by the shadow des, four creatures would appear from the void of space.

    Kaede Hattori stood by the side and watch Kensei Yagyu struggle as the creature surround him, like a cat toying with a mouse.

    The battle situation changed drastically, Kensei Yagyu who had the upperhand just now, has lost his advantage. Although he has notpletely lost but anyone could tell he could no longer win Kaede Hattori.

    With the spread of the Divine Rays of Terror, Hideki Kujyo was also severely affected. He could not withstand the creeping fear and hence pressed his phone frantically, ¡°Apollo, what are you waiting for! Hurry attack!¡±

    However, no matter how he pressed the phone, nothing changed. Hideki Kujyo¡¯s heart sank. When he thought that the Americans had given up on them, a sigh came from above.

    A crushing noise followed. To everyone¡¯s disbelief, the entire banquet hall¡¯s four walls started copsing. After the copse, many American Apostles who were wearing ck shirts and pants was revealed.

    From above their heads, the entire roof also crumpled. However, the stones and concrete bs did not fall downwards. Instead, they started floating upwards and the situation above them was unveiled.

    There were 12 blonde foreigners floating above their heads, looking at these Japanese as if they were insignificant ants.

    In the middle of the 12 guys, there was a teenager that had absolutely perfect body proportion and looks as handsome as the Sun God from the legends.

    This teenager, Apollo, was the strongest American Apostles that was stationed in Japan.

    Apart from him, the 11 Apostles beside him and the hundreds of Apostles that had surrounded the banquet hall were all floating in mid air. They were all apostles who had borrowed the gravitational ability.

    Upon seeing this, Kaede Hattori¡¯s face turned solemn. Given the great number of American Apostles that had arrived together but he did not received any news beforehand. The significance behind this made him feel disappointed but he could hardly hold a grudge against it. America held onto too much of their country¡¯s weaknesses. Under pressure, their government could only give in.

    From today, he, Kaede Hattori, will change all of this.

    ¡°So Apollo, you are finally here?¡± Kaede Hattori sniggered,¡± Do you think just by bringing more Apostles you can win me?¡±

    Apollo lowered his eyelids, he neither looked at Kaede Hattori nor Kensei Yagyu. He just calmly said,¡± Hattori you are walking on a route of no return. Even if you get away today, you would not be able to escape the hunt down in the future, only death awaits you. This is the current circumstance and it would not be changed by one man¡¯s will.¡±

    ¡°Cut the rubbish, first let me kill all of you then I will get rid of the pests in the government.¡± Kaede Hattori clenched his fists firmly and the horrific world expanded once more. It expanded till it had epass all the surrounding American Apostles.

    With an order from Apollo, hundreds of Apostles exerted their gravitional ability. A terrifiying and inescapable force acted on Kaede Hattori straightaway. Instantly, it shattered several of Kaede Hattori¡¯s bones. His internal organs were bleeding profusely. Blood was oozing out from his eyes and nose.

    Yet, the next moment, Kaede Hattori had a blinding red light shining out from his body. It transformed into severalyers of force fields and defended him from the rming gravitation.

    Despite this, sounds of his bones breaking were still heard. It was as if the next moment he would be teared into pieces by the violent gravity.

    When there is ack in quality, make it up with quantity. Kaede Hattori had strong individual abilities, hence the American side sent out hundreds of Apostles with similiar gravitational abilities to fight as a unit.

    Only big countries like America had the ability to allow hundreds of Apostles to borrow such a strong ability like gravitation at the same and get be worried that things will get out of hand.

    Red veins began appearing in Kaede Hattori¡¯s eye, in an instant, the creatures of the horrific world had began charging towards the surrounding Apostles.

    At the same time, theyers of blood red light had wrapped Kaede Hattori up, turning his body into an enormous blood red cocoon.

    The whole hall turned into a fierce battlefield immediately. As Kaede Hattori had to disseminate his abilities, Kensei Yagyu was reliefed from the stress. Kensei Yagyu held his sword, continously attacked the few creatures in front of him and broke free.

    Upon seeing Kensei Yagyu who was wrapped by severalyers by blood red light, Kensei Yagyu held onto his katana tightly. In a sh, he charged towards Kaede Hattori.

    Halfway through charging, he nced towards the corner and saw Zhao Yao hiding in the corner, still eating his pudding.

    ¡°Moron.¡±

    His nce turned solemn, heunched an attack from a distance. Then continued to charge forward.

    As Kensei Yagyu joined the fight again, Apollo looked at the blood red cocoon Kaede Hattori used to defend himself. He tilted his head, stretched out his hand and clenched his fist.

    ¡°ck hole Radiation.¡±

    Using the gravitation ability application developed by America¡¯s supeputer, the gravitation that was acting vertically downwards on Kaede Hattori changed and all started acting in different directions.

    At the same, all the other American Apostles also followed suit and used the same attack. Kaede Hattori felt like he was sucked into a ck hole, gravitational force was acting on him in all directions and was pulling him apart.

    Even his Divine Rays of Terror could not withstand the gravity. It could only act in the opposite direction to neutralize the force.

    The hundreds of Apostles were constantly changing the direction of their gravitational force. There was no way Kaede Hattori could change the direction of his Divine Rays of Terror ording to the hundreds of Apostles. Hence, Kaede Hattori was badly injured almost immediately. The blood red cocoon shattered around him, cuts started appearing on his skin. Blood was oozing out from his wounds and flowing upwards due to the gravitational force.

    Apollomented coldly.¡±Do you know that gravity travels at the speed of light? This means that you have no where to hide. Hattori, you have already lost this battle.¡±

    Despite hearing that, Kaede Hattori continued his attack on the Apostles. However the Apostles who were hit by the Divine Rays of Terror remained in their positions and appeared untouched.

    Kaede Hattori¡¯s face turned solemn,¡±They are all projected images?¡±

    Apollo smirked,¡± Other than traveling at the speed of light, gravitational force has another characteristic. It is that it acts on everything even at the greatest distances, from the smallest cells to gxies. Currently, we are attacking you from somewhere that is beyond your reach. Hattori, you do not even have the chance to fight back.¡±

    Gravity travels at the speed of light. Furthermore, having hundreds of Apostles attacking in every direction, it made up for the weaken gravitational force caused by the long distance.

    This resulted in Kaede Hattori being unable to defend himself. In fact he was pinned to his position by the violent gravitational force. Unable tounch a counter attack, unable to hide.

    This was an attack nned specially to counter Kaede Hattori¡¯s Divine Rays of Terror. The effects of these hundreds of Apostles attacking would be far better than thousands of Apostles with different abilities attacking together.

    Zhao Yao was cautioned with what he saw. Even with such strong abilities like Kaede Hattori, once he is targeted, he was defeated badly. This further proves his belief of remaining low-key and hiding his abilities.

    This is the importance of military intelligence in a battle between the superpowered. Kaede Hattori was overconfident. Although he had strong abilities but he was still mortal after all. All mortals have weaknesses.¡±

    ¡°Unpredictability is what makes superpower truly powerful.¡±

    While thinking, he gently pushed his palm forward and the shadow de from Kensei Yagyu was freezed in midair by the Deflective Field.

    On the other hand, Kensei Yagyu used Shadow Jump and was charging towards Kaede Hattori. To Kensei Yagyu, Zhao Yao was only an insignificant person from China. Before this he had wielded his katana and sent his shadow des to sh Zhao Yao.

    In Kensei Yagyu¡¯s eyes, Zhao Yao was a dead man. He ced all his attention on Kaede Hattori and continued charging towards him.

    Kaede Hattori was the strongest enemy Kensei Yagyu ever met. He had to kill Hattori, even if it means that he had to give up his honor and attack him while he is surrounded.

    If Hattori lives, the Kujyo and the entire Yagyu family would have to suffer the wrath of his revenge.

    However, while he was charging towards Kaede Hattori, he was unaware. In fact the whole hall was unaware.

    Of the fact that the ck sword aura attacking Zhao Yao, was freezed in midair and shattered into pieces before it even reached Zhao Yao.

    The next moment, a fish ball was raised up in the air by the Deflective Field and ring bright light soared into the sky like a mini Sun lighting up the hall.

    Kensei Yagyu suddenly realized that there were no longer any shadows around him. He had lost his chance of shadow jumping.

    Next, a Ragdoll cat ( Catherine) appeared in front of him. The moment he saw Catherine, his subconsciously rxed, fell into deep sleep and was no longer in Shadow mode.

    Then, he body tensed up and open his eyes again. He was lifted up by his head.

    Instinctively he wanted to retaliate but no matter how hard he tried, nothing moved. Be it his hands, legs, body or even his eyes. His ability to turn into shadow had alsopletely disappeared.

    He was thrown off guard,¡± He took me down without even showing himself? Who is this person?¡±

    He squint hard to try and see the person. Looking at the ring red light from the person¡¯s eyes and the cold face. Kensei Yagyu was astounded,¡± He is the China dude?¡±

    After seeing Kensei Yagyu¡¯s change in facial expression, Zhao Yao frowned,¡± Roly Poly, how many times must i tell you? My head needs to be invisible! My head needs to be invisible!¡±

    Roly Poly curled his lips in annoyance and whispered to himself, ¡°You keep changing what you want. How am I supposed to know?¡±

    Concurrently, Zhao Yao asked Elizabeth to activate her illusion powers and Zhao Yao now looked like Kaede Hattori¡¯s dead grandfather, Matsuyama Hattori. Furthermore, Zhao Yao took the mask from Dust Ball¡¯s mouth and wore it.

    Dust Ball opened his mouth again and released Sphynx cat. Zhao Yao said,¡± Sphynx cat, go with Roly Poly to look for the Americans.¡±

    Roly Poly grabbed onto Sphynx cat¡¯s neck and both of them shot off to go look for the location of Apollo and his men. Although the other supercats do not have the ability to stay invisible but Elizabeth used her illusion powers and hid them from sight.

    This is a dangerous and fierce fight, hence once he starts fighting, his strategy is to stay steady and safe. Hence, the first thing he did was to released the invisible Sphynx cat and then use the Power Up card.

    With a flick of his palm, Zhao Yao had activated Ares¡¯s Deflective Field. Kensei Yagyu was thrown out immediately and he crashed through two walls before falling onto the ground covered in blood.

    Kensei Yagyu wanted to stand up but he vomited out a mouthful of blood instead. With his eyes wide open, he red at Zhao Yao who currently had the appearance of Matsuyama Hattori.

    The abnormal situation quickly caught Apollo and Hideki Kujyo¡¯s attention.

    Apollo frowned in disbelief,¡± Matsuyama Hattori? You are still alive?¡±

    Hideki Kujyo eyes were also filled with doubt. After noticing the special sound waves in the air, he was puzzled,¡± It is the same kind of fluctuation again. What is this exactly?¡±

    The rest of them who were hiding- Nanako, Sylvie, Kappei Hattori and others- were all equally shocked by the appearance of Matsuyama Hattori.

    Upon hearing Apollo, a thought came to Zhao Yao¡¯s mind,¡± Am I seeing an illusion? This means they are not far away. Sphnx cat go and search the roofs nearby.¡±

    On the other hand, Kaede Hattori was also very shocked to see Matsuyama Hattori. ¡± Grandpa?¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed loudly and used Old Cat to trante,¡± Kaede, you did well. Grandpa faked my own death and hid in the mountains for 30 years to train hard for Fist of the World King. Now, watch closely, this is the Fist of the World King that has been passed down in our family for generations.¡±

    While speaking, Zhao Yao was covered in golden mes and he punched forward. The golden mes were like a magnificent dragon swallowing Kaede Hattoripletely. At the same time, it disintegrated the gravitational force that was attacking Kaede Hattori.

 Chapter 576: The Reversion

    <h4>Chapter 576: The Reversion</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    Rays of golden mes enveloped Kaede Hattori¡¯s body, protecting him from further attack by the gravitation.

    Though the gravitation attack from Apollo and his men was immensely powerful, to the point that it was able to break through Kaede Hattori¡¯s Divine Rays of Terror and injure him severely, it was powerless against the ¡®Power Up Card¡¯ enhanced Deflective Field.

    As he watched Kaede Hattori being wrapped in golden mes, Zhao Yao shouted, ¡°Kaede, ept my powers!¡±

    ¡°Grandpa!¡± Kaede Hattori felt the golden mes that were protecting him and said in suprise, ¡°Are you an apostle as well?¡±

    ¡°Silly child,¡± Zhao Yao walked to him and stroked his forehead, ¡°Who are you calling grandpa, I¡¯m your father.¡±

    Kaede Hattori waspletely taken aback.

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°Did you forget what your mother and Wang Sang had just said? You are the son I had with your mother.¡±

    Upon hearing these words from ¡®Matsuyama Hattori¡¯ himself, Kaede Hattori was dumbstruck at that moment, and did not even care about the dangerous fighting situation at hand anymore. All that was on his mind was this shocking piece of news.

    His real father Aoyama Hattori, Matsuyama Hattori¡¯s son, current head of the Hattori household, immediately opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood before he passed out, dying on the spot.

    Apollo could not be bothered with their family drama, andmanded all his gravitation apostles through his headset, shouting ¡°XXX, YYY, mark your positions, aim downwards and attack Matsuyama Hattori with full force.¡±

    A loud boom was heard, and under the effect of the invisible gravitational power, the surrounding air was turned into a force field as well, mming against the Deflective Field around Zhao Yao, but its efforts were futile.

    The gravitaiton force unit was like a divine curse used to subdue Kaede Hattori, defeating him to the point that there was no temper left in him.

    However, thebined power of a hundred apostles with the same ability was still unable to surpass Zhao Yao¡¯s Deflective Field, which was as good as the whole lot of them beingpletely suppressed by Zhao Yao¡¯s power.

    Given the same number of apostles but with different individual abilities, Zhao Yao would not have been able to suppress them so easily, and might even be more troublesome for him to fend of their powers.

    This was precisely the growth and inhibition dynamics between different abilities, and the importance of gathering intelligence.

    On Apollo¡¯s side, his attacks were unable to break through the powers of Zhao Yao and Kaede Hattoribined, while at the same time, Sphynx cat had already traced their bearings from the rooftop of a nearby building.

    With Roly Poly on his back, Sphynx cat was still invisible as he followed their trail and climbed up the outer walls of the apartment building with ease and reached the rooftop of the apartment building. Looking at the American apostles before him, he sped towards them in an instant, knocking out ten over apostles at once.

    It turned out that the gravitation force unit that Apollo was leading were all standing on the rooftop of a building near the hotel, and were surveying the scene with their sight, which enabled them to unleash their gravitational ability.

    Hence when they first attacked, they immediately tore down the outer walls surrounding the banquet hall, as well as the roof of it.

    Since they had been discovered by Sphynx cat, they started to be knocked down one by one.

    As more and more apostles were being knocked out, Apollo realized very quickly that something was wrong and reversed the gravitation, lifting all the apostles in the air.

    ¡°We¡¯re being attacked!¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t see him, but I can sense a force that¡¯s moving around.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not an attack from far, so it must be an invisible power.¡±

    ¡°Quick, use the infrared imaging goggles to see!¡±

    After knocking out more than 50 apostles, Sphynx cat was finally struck by the explosive gravitational force and flew up into the sky.

    Although Sphynx cat had immense power in his body, his physique had never changed and was at most of the same weight and size as a dog.

    Hence, Sphynx cat could be easily raised by a person, just like what the gravitational force was doing now, raising him into the sky at an rming speed.

    As the gravitational force threw him skywards, Sphynx cat lost his ability to cast his powers for a moment. He continued to exert his powers with full force, thrashing his four limbs about, but s only a few gusts of wind were produced and he flew off course afterwards.

    The efficacy of generating a force field from the air around him to reverse the gravitation was too low, generating at most one hundredth or one tenth of power. Normally this would be good enough for Sphynx cat to use it on abusing vegetables, but to use it against thebined strength of Apollo and his men was way beyond their means.

    If the gravitation could be said to be suppressed by the Deflective Field, Sphynx cat¡¯s super strong body was now equally suppressed by gravitation.

    After being struck by the gravitation in a moment of carelessness, Sphynx cat¡¯s abilities were stripped by 9¡Á9 of its original powers as he was sent flying skywards.

    Sphynx cat who was flying skywards tried hitting the air around him and blowing out as much air as he could but it had little if no effect in reversing the gravitation,and he could only watch himself flying higher and higher into the sky.

    Looking at the city that was bing smaller and smaller before him, Roly Poly¡¯s eyes bulged in fear. If they identally dropped from this height, Sphynx cat would at most break a leg, but he, Roly Poly, would suffer a death that was worse than death itself.

    Frightened, Roly Poly immediately whipped out his phone and sent a message to Zhao Yao, informing him of their current situation.

    In the banquet hall, Zhao Yao received the news and raised his eyebrows. He had not considered this point before, and shook his head in his heart, ¡°Indeed, in this world, it was impossible to not be counterattacked by an enemy. At first I thought that given Sphynx cat¡¯s powers and with Roly Poly¡¯s invisibility as his cover, there would be no problem, but now they are actually subdued.¡±

    At the thought of this, Zhao Yao immediately walked to the spot where the hotel¡¯s outer walls had been, and said as he stared at the sky outside the window, ¡°Kaede, aside from the Fist of the World King, the Hattori family still had another spiritual power that was passed downed for generations, watch this.¡±

    In the next moment, Zhao Yao pressed his palm on the floor, and Elizabeth unleashed her power of illusion at the same time, creating rays of ck trails around the floor, followed by an explosion of the mass of ck smoke.

    At the same time, Dust Ball had opened his mouth and spat out Cat Sage.

    Once Cat Sage came out, his body immediately experienced a drastic change as his body expanded to 60 meters in length, his whole body covered in golden-scaled armor as he let out a deafening roar and charged towards the sky.

    Zhao Yao let out a longugh and said, ¡°See this Kaede, this is the spiritual animal of the Hattori family, the golden three-headed dragon.¡±

    Everyone was shocked at the scene before them, as the golden three-headed dragon charged into the sky like a fighter jet, heading in the direction of the Sphynx cat as all three of its heads opened their mouths and let out a deafening roar.

    At this moment, god knows how many Japanese people had witnessed this scene, and gasped or screamed in astonishment.

    The one who was most affected was definitely Kaede Hattori and Kappei Hattori. Kaede Hattori was confused beyond words, and had no idea what this was all about.

    Kappei Hattori on the other hand very quickly epted it as a fact, and jumped up happily and said, ¡°Grandpa! I want to learn this spiritual power as well!¡±

    On the other side, Hideki Kujyo stared intensely at Zhao Yao¡¯s spot, and feeling the strange movement in the air around him, he finally recalled what it was,¡±These are, sound waves?¡±

    ¡°Who¡¯s using his superpower to release these special sound waves?¡± He finally found the source of his strange feeling and tried activating his own power, opening his mouth to emit reverse sound waves that gradually neutralized Elizabeth¡¯s illusion sound waves.

    Hence at the next moment, in the shocking view of everyone who was at the scene, Zhao Yao¡¯s body shed like a TV screen that had lost its signal, and changed from the image of Matsuyama Hattori back to his original form, with cats all over his body.

    Zhao Yao was still smiling gleefully as he patted Kaede Hattori¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Kaede, do you want to learn the Fist of the World King? Daddy can teach you.¡± He still wanted to act as if he was increasing Kaede Hattori¡¯s powers and trick the superpower world in Japan into admiring him, so that he could finish his chain mission.

    But right at this moment, Elizabeth quietly whispered from aside, ¡°Zhao Yao, the power of illusion had broken.¡±

    Upon hearing Elizabeth¡¯s words, Zhao Yao froze on the spot and as his expression stiffened.

    He switched his power over to Matcha at the first instance and activated time freeze.

    Level 8 Matcha activated time freeze, which totalled 8 times of 12 seconds, giving Matcha and Zhao Yao an extra time of around 96 seconds.

    On top of that, Zhao Yao had used his Power Up card, extending the timeframe to 120 seconds. Multiplied by 8 times, this amounted to 960 seconds, meaning a total of 16 minutes, which was enough time for Zhao Yao to do whatever he wanted to do.

    As he watched the world around hime to a standstill, Zhao Yao first took 3 seconds topose himself and get rid of the awkwardness from earlier on.

    Never did he expect that Sphynx cat and Elizabeth¡¯s powers of illusion would be countered by the Americans, just as he was thinking of how Kaede Hattori was being picked on by them.

    Matcha, who was perched on Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulders,ughed so hard that he started rolling on the floor, ¡°Hahahaha, Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, your stupid act got exposed!¡±

    Zhao Yao whipped his head around and red at Matcha coldly.

    The fur on Matcha¡¯s back stood on its ends and he stood up immediately, saying calmly, ¡°Zhao Yao, are you going to silence all of them?¡±

    As he said that, he kicked out a paw and licked it as he said, ¡°These paws of mine have been so used to ying cheerful music that it¡¯s about time to get some blood on these sharp ws!¡±

    As he licked his paws, a sharp scratching sound was heard as Matcha identally scratched his tongue, which sent him screaming and pacing up and down in pain saying, ¡°So painful! So painful!¡±

    ¡°This should count as getting blood on them too,¡± Zhao Yao nced at Matcha with a look of disdain, stroking his chin as he started to think of his next move.

    ¡°Luckily I wore the mask beforehand, at least my face hasn¡¯t been exposed,¡± This was the only thing Zhao Yao could takefort in.

    ¡°If the power of illusion was broken, maybe I should kill off the person who broke it?¡± Zhao Yao raised his head and observed his surroundings. There were too many people and cats in the banquet hall. Given such a short time, it was impossible for him to find the person who broke his power of illusion.

    He turned and stared at Kaede Hattori, whose face was frozen and still in a state of shock, and a thought came to Zhao Yao¡¯s mind, ¡°Kaede, would you listen to my exnation?¡±

    Matcha tapped Zhao Yao¡¯s leg and asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, quick help me take a look, did it leave a scar? I have a scar-prone body.¡±

    ¡°Scar-prone my ass, get lost.¡± Zhao Yao pushed Matcha away and thought next, ¡°Let¡¯s try to hoodwink them first, if it doesn¡¯t work, then I can only reset the scene and start all over again.¡±

    At the thought of this, Zhao Yao immediately deactivated the time freeze and switched over to Elizabeth¡¯s power of illusion. He stared at Kaede Hattori, who was a few meters away and said, ¡°Kaede, hear dad out for a bit, things are not like what you thought.¡±

    Kaede Hattori stared at him coldly as the blood-red rays began concentrating around his body, ¡°So you were the one behind all these things with my mother and Kappei?¡±

    Zhao Yao exined, ¡°Kaede, since it came to this, there is no point for me to hide anything from you. Actually your real name isn¡¯t Kaede Hattori, it is Xiao Feng.

    Thirty years ago, the Hattori family was out to kill us off, and brought you back to Japan at a young age and raised you up since then. Today we are reunited as father and son, which is the perfect opportunity for our revenge.¡±

    As he was saying that, Zhao Yao looked towards Aoyama Hattori (Kaede Hattori¡¯s father) who was afar, and his eyes glinted with red light, bringing Aoyama Hattori back to consciousness as he pointed at Zhao Yao in disbelief and said, ¡°You! The Great Bandit! You didn¡¯t die!¡±

    Zhao Yao stared at Kaede Hattori with a face full of sincerity, hoping that the other party would trust him again. Thereafter, he would only need to help him finish off the apostles at the scene toplete the chain mission.

    Just as Kaede Hattori frowned and started to hesitate again, Kappei Hattori shouted from afar, ¡°Brother, don¡¯t trust what he says. Hattorie can control people¡¯s minds! He can control our words and actions.¡±

    Kaede Hattori¡¯s eyes focused, and all sorts of evil spirits had charged towards Zhao Yao, and Kaede Hattori had even fashioned a blood-red gun that looked as if it was solid and charged ruthlessly towards Zhao Yao to pierce him.

    Bloodthorn gun! Kaede Hattori used the strongest counterattack produced at highly concentrated and pressurized levels of the Divine Rays of Terror, which had even split the five meter thick fortification apart.

    However, the Deflective Field which Ares emitted did not have the Power Up card, and was easily destroyed by the highly concentrated Divine Rays of Terror.

    Previously when he wiped out the Spirit Army, Kaede Hattori¡¯s Divine Rays of Terror were already strong enough to slightly infiltrate Ares¡¯ Deflective Field.

    At this moment, Kaede Hattori¡¯s terror waves had spread even further, and with the name of being the strongest in Japan, more than a hundred thousand lives were in fear of his great name, strengthening his Divine Rays of Terror to unprecedented levels. Without using the Power Up card, Ares¡¯ Deflective Field would be wrecked in an instant.

    However, even though Ares¡¯ Deflective Field was broken, it was enough to give Zhao Yao an instantaneous moment for him to switch his powers.

    Layers andyers of golden light rays shielded against Kaede Hattori¡¯s bloodthorn gun as Zhao Yao, who used the Power Up card, activated the Level 8 Deflective Field. The collision between the golden light rays and the blood-red rifle resulted in a loud explosion, forcing Zhao Yao and Kaede Hattori take a few steps back.

    All sorts of weird creatures, devils and ghosts charged towards him from all sides, gradually circling around Zhao Yao as if they were going to tear him up into pieces at any moment.

    ¡°Sigh, Kaede, can¡¯t you just listen to dad exin? Now we¡¯re facing a great enemy before us, it¡¯s not the time for us to fight between ourselves,¡± Zhao Yao shook his head and said.

    Upon hearing that, the murderous look in Kaede Hattori¡¯s eyes intensified as he shot out with the bloodthorn gun in his hand. Despite the resounding impact from the collision between the blood-red and golden rays, the bloodthorn gun was still unable to break through the other party¡¯s defense.

    He frowned slightly. The power unleashed by his opponent was definitely not something he could defeat quickly, and with the present threat of the Americans, Kaede Hattori knew that if he continued to fight it out with his opponent, the only one who stood to win would be the Americans, as much as what his opponent just did had infuriated him greatly.

    On the other hand, if he could make use of his opponent¡¯s ability to shield against the gravitation attack, he might even get the chance to kill off Apollo and his men.

    Just as he was about to continue saying something, a loud ¡°Ka-cha!¡± sound was heard as something broke. The impact from Kaede Hattori¡¯s bloodthorn gunshot earlier on had split the mask that Zhao Yao was wearing on his head into half, causing it to drop to the floor.

    The mask Zhao Yao was wearing was of low quality to begin with. Previously when he was switching his powers, he had managed to fend off Kaede Hattori¡¯s attack with the Power Up card-enhanced Deflective Field, but some of the impact had inevitably passed through during that time and swept through Zhao Yao¡¯s clothes.

    His clothes were fine, but the low-grade mask broke.

    ¡°It¡¯s him!¡±

    Everyone who saw this was shocked beyond words, especially Hideki Kujyo, Nanako and Kappei Hattori.

    Kappei Hattori shouted, ¡°Big brother, he is Zhao Yao, Nanako¡¯s friend from China. This guy is here to ruin the wedding.¡±

    Hideki Kujyo exhaled deeply, ¡°So it was actually that Chinese guy, did hee here just to stop the wedding? I can¡¯t believe I actually underestimated him, and even forgot about him.

    But then again, his identity has already been exposed. Whether it¡¯s Kaede Hattori or Apollo, neither of them will let him off for what he has done. No, if Kaede Hattori was smart enough, he would actually put aside his grudge and work with him to defeat Apollo.

    But given how much Apollo and his men had prepared for this, even if Zhao Yao and Kaede Hattori worked together it would still be impossible for them to win. Speaking of that, why hasn¡¯t Apollo and his men initiated the fight? Are they waiting to watch us fight amongst ourselves so as to reduce the strength of Japan¡¯s superpower realm?¡±

    At this point, Hideki Kujyo was still unaware of the situation outside. Sphynx cat had already wiped out half of Apollo¡¯s men. Hideki Kujyo thought that Apollo and his men were deliberately holding back, waiting for them to fight amongst themselves.

    In fact, out of everyone present in the banquet hall, Zhao Yao was the only one who knew the siuation outside.

    Hideki Nanako stared at Zhao Yao and covered her mouth in shock. She started questioning herself, ¡°This is Zhao Yao? Did hee here for me? To prevent me from getting married? And his abilities have be so powerful?¡± Nanako was so touched by this thought.

    Sylvie, who was at the side, frowned as she thought, ¡°I never thought that he would be such a devoted guy. He actually came to stop the wedding for Missy?¡±

    Kensei Yagyu was spitting out blood as he stared at this scene. He wanted to expose Zhao Yao¡¯s identity, but he was in so much pain that he could not utter a word. Looking at the situation before him, his expression soured by the minute.It was only after fighting Zhao Yao personally that he fully understood how horrifying Zhao Yao was. The terror felt from being controlled by someone else yet having no means to resist at all was an experience that still sent cold chills through his body.

    ¡°This Chinese guy¡¯s abilities are far beyond expectations. Hideki Kujyo that idiot, his Intel is unreliable. This Chinese guy¡¯s power is on par with Kaede Hattori... No, his powers may even be above Kaede Hattori. I wonder if the Americans can defeat him.¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed in exasperation, ¡°Cheap maskse with great risks.¡±He patted Dust Ball¡¯s head for him to spit Catherine out.

    The next moment, he raised Catherine up and said,¡± Everybody, will all of you look here? Let me exin what just happened.¡±

    Before this, Zhao Yao already had everyone¡¯s attention. After what he said, everyone¡¯s attention focused on Catherine instead.

    As Catherine used her ability, everyone who was looking at her fell asleep immediately.

    Zhao Yao started giving orders,¡± Okay, everyone prepare to clear up the ce. Dust Ball, spit out Caesar and Diana. Clear thest three minutes of their memories. Ares, fix the damage caused by Kaede Hattori. Elizabeth, prepare to control Kaede Hattori so that he does not cause any further damage.¡±

    Zhao Yao pped his palms,¡± Everyone get ready. We are going to try that again.¡±

    Currently, Zhao Yao was acting on his backup n ¡®Reboot and Restart¡¯. Which mean that when all else fails, he would eliminate all of their memories, reset the scene and restart all over again.

    At this moment, the entire banquet hall shook and violent explosions were heard outside. Everyone who were asleep, woke up startled.

    Catherine¡¯s sleeping powers could only set people into light sleep, hence, it was very easy to be woken up from.

    It was no surprise that the loud explosions and trembles outside the hotel woke them up instantly.

    Kappei Hattori pointed at Zhao Yao and shouted,¡± Kill this China guy! He is behind all of this!¡±

    All the Apostles were getting uneasy as Zhao Yao¡¯s actions just told them that they were included as his targets.

    Most of them no longer dared to look at Zhao Yao. The power to make all of them pass out instilled fear in their hearts.

    In the meantime, the hotel had stopped trembling. However, the Dragon¡¯s roar could still be heard. Evidently, the hotel trembled due to the aftermath from the fight between Apollo and the Dragon.

    Even supersonic fighter jets had joined the fight. The appearance of the Dragon was too eye-catching, Apollo reported it directly to the authorities and the American government pressured the Japanese to send out their fighter jets.

    Since the fighter jets has already been operated, the Japanese army and police would arrive soon. Zhao Yao knew that he had a limited amount of time left. There was not enough time left to erase their memories again.

    Looking at the people who had woken up, Zhao Yao touched his forehead in disbelief,¡± All of you, why can¡¯t you guys just act ording to my n?¡±

    To everyone¡¯s surprise, Zhao Yao stretched out his hands and the golden mes around him amplified. The golden mes started sweeping towards everyone else in the hall. In an blink of an eye, there were around 20 Apostles who were trapped in the golden mes immobilized.

    All the cats who were no longer protected by the illusion, started retreating into the doorway Dust Ball opened.

    Zhao Yao was not afraid for himself, however, without the cover of the power of illusion, should anything happen to the supercats he would be infuriated. Hence, he let all them pass through the doorway first.

    He did not enter the doorway, but, stood by the door and looked at therge number of Apostles coldly.

    Now that the supercats were out of danger, he had nothing to fear. He had two lives which he could switch between and the doorway was opened behind him. He could leave anytime he wanted. Hence, it also meant that he could do whatever he wanted.

    In the face of Zhao Yao¡¯s attack, everyone was ready to retaliate. There were more than half of Japan¡¯s strongest fighters from the supernatural realm in this hall. If they attack together, the entire building would copse.

    The first to attack was a high-school boy who released a Force Field Shield in attempt to even off Zhao Yao¡¯s Deflective Field.

    However, he was no match for the Deflective Field that was at its climax. In less than a second, all his organs were damaged and he was bleeding profusely.

    When he was about to copse, two other Apostlesunched their attack. It was a wide range of Gas Shield and sma Shield respectively.

    The three types of shield together could only slow down the speed of the Deflective Field spreading.

    On the other hand, Kaede Hattori frowned and hesitated. He was angered by Zhao Yao¡¯s actions but at the same time, he wanted to use Zhao Yao¡¯s powers to help him defeat Apollo.

    The high-school boy shouted,¡± We cannotst for long! Hurry up and attack!¡±

    The Apostles and the supercats started attacking.

    Numerous apostles and supercats began tounch direct attacks such as me-lightning-frozen toxins, which are already inferior, at Zhao Yao. Before evening close to Zhao Yao, the attacks have been annihted one by one by the st of air from the Deflective Field.

    A man, dressed like a monk, was seen, stretching out his hand. The dagger in his hand has already passed through the ck wormhole and pierced Zhao Yao directly in the neck.

    Anotherdy dressed in a suit, held a doll in one hand, and a small knife in the other. The small knife stabbed the chest of the doll and blood immediately oozed out profusely from Zhao Yao¡¯s chest.

    There was another man draped in a ck robe. He reached out and grabbed something in midair and Zhao Yao¡¯s heart immediately went fanatic. There was severe internal bleeding urring inside his body and his heart slowly began to copse as blood dripped from the corner of Zhao Yao¡¯s mouth.

    In the next moment, the golden mes slowly disappeared and Zhao Yao fell with a plop, into a pool of blood.

    Looking at this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief as the outburst of Deflective Field created by Zhao Yao just now was too astonishing.

    However, after looking at Zhao Yao who is now lying in a pool of blood, they also came to the realization that the opponent was not as strong as he had looked.

    A trace of pity flickered in the eyes of Kaede Hattori. He was still hesitating if he should join hands with the opponent, but who knew, the opponent had died in the next instance. This has shown that the opponent¡¯s ability to deal with gravitational attacks was very effective, but is still not enough to deal with this kind of powerful-siege.

    If it was Kaede Hattori, a sh of his fearsome aura would have frightened the others so much that there would not even be a need for him to face such ridiculous ability attacks.

    There was a pang of delight in Kappei Hattori¡¯s heart as Zhao Yao had insulted the Hattori family and this was his well-deserved ending.

    Hideki Kujyo on the other side, slowly shook his head and said, ¡°This guy turned up on his own to try to cause damage in front of so many powerful people. It was a disy of ignorance and egoism and he was indeed searching for the dead end.¡±

    However, at this very moment, someone suddenly eximed, ¡°What about the cat that he has with him?¡±

    ¡°How are those supercats even gone?¡±

    ¡°Wait, the Chinese...¡±

    At this very moment, Zhao Yao, who was originally lying in the pool of blood, began to stand up slowly. He twisted his neck slightly and said lightly, ¡°Good job, I have basically confirmed yourbat strength.¡±

    The wounds on his body hadpletely disappeared and he looked intact, as if he had never been attacked before.

    The apostles who saw this scene once againunched an attack. Shots of mes, lightning, curses and swords all hit Zhao Yao.

    The mes exploded on Zhao Yao¡¯s body. The lightning pierced his muscles. The curses stimted small traces of blood and the swords prated his¡¯s body.

    This is the first time that Zhao Yao used an enhanced regeneration during actualbat. The original ultra-fast regeneration is already powerful enough, whereby the regeneration speed and process waspletely visible to the human eye.

    However, the regeneration after the use of the power up card, the regeneration speed is even faster than what is visible to the human eye.

    All the attacksnded on Zhao Yao¡¯s body, but they did not cause any impact. The mes burned, but his skin had already been repaired before the me dissipated. His skin looked white and smooth and not a slightest scorch was seen.

    The swords and knives cut Zhao Yao¡¯s chest, and even passed through his chest, but the chest muscles, ribs, and internal organs had been repaired at the same time that the de passed through. His body remains intact, as if he had not been injured at all.

    And behind Zhao Yao, the Dust Ball has already opened the space door when the battle was taking ce and has led the cats away to hide.

    The amazing feeling of pleasure exploded within Zhao Yao¡¯s body. The many attacksnding on his body has stimted the release of regenerating poison and that has caused him to feel immense pleasure. He was even slightly indulged in the moment and wanted to be attacked further.

    Ares, who was in the space door immediately shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao, do not be addicted! Do you want to be like Kappei Hattori?¡±

    At the very thought of Kappei Hattori, Zhao Yao¡¯s body quivered and he gathered willpower to ignore the thought of wanting to feel more pleasure. With a single step back, he disappeared into the space door.

    ¡°What the..?¡±

    ¡°He has disappeared.¡±

    ¡°Where?¡±

    At the same time, Zhao Yao who was in the space door has safely switched to the ability to stop time. He then turned to look at the surprised and doubtful Japanese people in the hall, and directly showed them the existence of the space door and revealed his own appearance.

    Looking at the people who gazed over, Zhao Yao reached out his hands and slowly said, ¡°Then it is my turn now. It only takes a very short moment, just like a snap of your fingers... You all... Are you all ready?¡±

    In the next moment, everyone heard a crisp finger snaping from Zhao Yao¡¯s hand.

    At the same time, Zhao Yao alsounched a enhanced Time Freeze for a rtive time of 16 minutes.

    In the still world on the other hand, Zhao Yao came out from behind the space door and first came to the monk who was able to pass the weapon through the wormhole directly to his neck and kicked the monk in his crotch.

    He had confirmed the position of all the apostles who posed a threat to him, when he was using his regeneration power to deal with the attacks, just now.

    Matcha smiled and followed behind Zhao Yao. After seeing Zhao Yao kick the monk in his crotch, Matcha also followed and took one bite. It began to brutally tear at the meat, ¡°Roar! Now you know how powerful I, Matcha, is!¡±

    Zhao Yao saw the scene and imagine the felt pain from the brutal treatment the monk was receiving. He persuaded, ¡°Alright, alright. Any more bites and the leg will probably just break.¡±

    Matcha retreated and licked its mouth, yearning for more. It pointed to the monk and said, ¡°This time, I will spare you.¡±

    Zhao Yao had already walked to the woman who has a knife in one hand, a doll in the other and who have disyed the super power of cursing. With one swift punch, he hit her in the stomach.

    Matcha did the same and mmed its head into her body, repeating it a few times afterwards.

    And next in line, was the man in ck robe who controlled the blood outburst in the body. Zhao Yao directly lifted his robe and frowned, ¡°He looks so ugly. It is no wonder why he would cover himself with a ck robe.¡± With a twitch of his lips, Zhao Yao gave the man an uppercut.

    Although there were many apostles who attacked just now, the ones to truly posed a threat to Zhao Yao were only these three. And so, he gave it a thought and decided to give the three of them one karate chop each to ensure that they would faint after a while and lose their ability to fight,pletely.

    Zhao Yao then went over to the other apostles and made different attacks on each of them.

    When time started to flow again, everyone only saw Zhao Yao snapping his fingers and everyone else except for Kaede Hattori cried out in pain. Some flew away from the ground and someid on the floor with a loud cry of pain, while others fainted before saying anything.

    After one snap of the fingers, the entire hall was in massive destruction and the apostles all look at Zhao Yao with fear and terror in their eyes.

    Kensei Yagyu yelled and vomited a huge mouthful of blood once again. He felt a few of his ribs broken and his mouth was still full of the yellow liquid, which had a strong cat smell.

    He looked at Zhao Yao with grief and anger. He was already seriously wounded, yet his opponent would not give him a chance. That was too vicious and merciless.

    The scene of instant killing of all the strong warriors with a snap of the finger made Kensei Yagyu¡¯s heart sank deeper and deeper. ¡°All methods of attack are not effective. This guy has an invincible body and the ability for instant kill of everyone. I cannot even figure his attack. Who is this powerful person?¡±

    On the other side, Hideki Kujyo felt a pain in his stomach. A violent force erupted on his stomach, sending him flying out and crashing against the wall before dropping down.

    Once hended on the ground with a bang, Hideki Kujyo¡¯s face turned pale green with pain. He felt as though his intestines were being torn apart. However, when he lifted his head and looked around, all the people in the hall were like him, being attacked and then copsing on the ground. A few powerful apostles even fell directly on the ground and it was not known whether they were dead or alive.

    Hideki Kujyo looked at Zhao Yao with unease and fear. ¡°This Chinese... what kind of ability is that? What kind of attack did he execute? ¡±

    Hideki Kujyo was never a strong warrior. Fermenting schemes, spreading rumors and coborating with the strong were his survival methods. After understanding and having control of the supernatural apostles, he would seek to understand the workings of the supernatural abilities. To him, they were to be made used of like pieces on the chess set.

    ¡°But this Zhao Yao, what is his ability? I am unable to figure out his ability...¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s weird and mysterious way of attack made him and others feel extremely shocked. Compared to the yellow mes that just urred and Kaede Hattori¡¯s Divine Rays of Terror, Zhao Yao¡¯s supernatural ability was unfathomable. This was the most terrifying aspect.

    They were even clueless on how to defend against such ability.

    Nanako and Sylvie were not being attacked and they stood at their location. Upon seeing the surrounding apostles who were sent flying or copsing on the ground, their facial expressions showed rapid changes.

    Nanako looked at Zhao Yao with mixed feelings. She could not imagine Zhao Yao to be so powerful. Because of her, he was willing to pit against the Japanese supernatural realm. In her heart, she felt turmoil, and at the same time, joy, worry, sweetness and fear.

    Sylvie¡¯s face showed a sense of seriousness. She could not imagine that the Chinese apostle, whom she scorned and thought was trying curry the favor of the Kujyo family, was actually a hidden dragon in guise of a rabbit.

    Sylvie became more astonished the more she thought, ¡°After being attacked by hundreds of people, pierced on the throat, shed on the chest, burnt by fire, hit by electric shocks and prated by swords, his body remained intact. On a snap of a finger, he defeated hundreds of apostles. With this ability, he was no longer human but a God. The apostle¡¯s ability could be that powerful?¡±

    Looking at the shocked and fearful expressions of everyone, Zhao Yao nodded satisfactorily, ¡°Like what I have said, only need a short instant...¡± Concurrently, he extended his hand, showing that he was about to snap his finger.

    Upon seeing his action, Kappei Hattori who was holding his chest in great pain, immediately shouted, ¡°Stop him! Do not let him snap his finger!¡±

    Zhao Yao gazed at Kappei Hattori silently and discovered that a few apostles were looking with anticipation at his finger. Obviously, a few fools had rted the snapping of the finger with his ability. Even some of the intelligent people had the same suspicion.

    Rolling his eyes, Zhao Yao snapped his finger and said, ¡°Do not worry, I am not interested in killing all of you. I am here today to help my son.¡± After that, he looked gently at Kaede Hattori, who was at the side, and said, ¡°Kaede son, today daddy will help you unify the Japanese supernatural realm. From now on, our hearts will beat as one. We shall do whatever we want in Japan, oops sorry, restore the glory of the Japanese supernatural realm.¡±

    On hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s nonsense, everyone sneered in their hearts and no one believed him. However, the next scene shocked them. Kaede Hattori bowed to Zhao Yao and said, ¡°My lord father, I understand your intention. Our hearts shall beat as one and we will change the Japanese supernatural realm.¡±

    At this moment, behind the door of the invisible space, eyes of Elizabeth emitted crimson rays. Elizabeth was controlling Kaede Hattori¡¯s every move.

    Upon witnessing the scene, Kappei Hattori shouted once more, ¡°Elder brother! You are also being controlled...¡±

    Pom! Zhao Yao flicked his finger and golden mes hit Kappei Hattori¡¯s head, knocking him unconscious. Zhao Yao frowned and scolded him in his mind, ¡°You have said too much. Think I am dead?¡±

    Kaede Hattori was controlled by Elizabeth and the powerful Japanese warriors were all defeated. The Americans outside were being dealt with by Sphynx cat and Cat Sage so Zhao Yao was very confident ofpleting the chain mission and conquering the apostles and supercats.

    As he was about to have a heart to heart talk with the apostles before him, there was a loud bang. A dark shadow permeated the outer wall of the hotel and rushed into the middle of the banquet hall.

    ...

    Back to 15 minutes ago, while Zhao Yao and everyone were fighting in the banquet hall, the Tri-headed Golden Dragon was in the sky above the hotel, advancing towards Sphynx cat.

    With the appearance of the Tri-headed Golden Dragon, Apollo and his men immediately reacted.

    ¡°D*mn, must be that defecting transforming cat!¡± Apollo first recognized the identity of Cat Sage, who escaped from the Maineboratory and stole a small Meteorite Fragment. In the initial battle, Cat Sage had transformed into arge dragon. This was a very rare supernatural power.

    However, the present Cat Sage had grown more powerful. From a normal dragon to a Tri-headed Golden Dragon. Apollo believed that the Meteorite Fragment had increased Cat Sage¡¯s power.

    Apollo had already suffered serious casualties from the invisible Sphynx cat. With the appearance of another Tri-headed Golden Dragon, Apollo knew that he was overwhelmed and he would not be able to deal with them.

    As such, he ordered through hismunication set and a hidden backup supernatural unit appeared. Under the pressure of the Americans, the Japanese fighter nes were already advancing towards the skies of Tokyo.

    As the world hegemony, the American government had a clear understanding of Japan, where thest Meteoritended. American¡¯s supercats and apostles were considered the best in the world in terms of quality and quantity.

    The Americans intended to subvert the dominance of Kaede Hattori and the unification of the Japanese supernatural realm. So they would not just ce their hopes on a single ability supernatural unit. The gravitational power unit was intended to deal with Kaede Hattori and another supernatural unit was reserved as backup for unexpected circumstances.

    The appearance of the Tri-headed Golden Dragon was the unexpected circumstances.

    Near the location of the hotel, many people were either strolling or having their meals. And there were resting foreigners, who stood up, their skin effecting changes, revealing the steel structure underneath the flesh.

    A golden-haired man extended both his hands and the flesh on them transformed into two huge cannon tubes. At the same time, the shirt on his back bulged and tore apart and two metallic wings appeared on the back unfolding. Waiting for the ion mes to rise up behind, the golden-haired man had already shot up into the sky, rushing towards the Tri-headed Golden Dragon.

    There were about ten simr robots, that emitted various colored mes and shot up into the sky. Different machine guns and cannons appeared on their body and they fired on the Tri-headed Golden Dragon.

    The sudden changes terrified the passers-by and they fled in all directions. Looking at the robots flying in the sky, it felt like being in a science fiction world.

    In fact, the construction of the robots had no close rtionship to science. They were the result of the supernatural ability ¡°Robot Fusion¡±, which could allow any man-made objects to fuse into human flesh, bing part of one¡¯s body¡ªa half flesh and half robot creation. They looked like the Robocop from the science fiction movies.

    The supernatural unit, that was created using Robot Fusion, was American¡¯s main force. Based on the American¡¯s reserves and weapon technology, by fusing various arsenal from the Army using Robot Fusion, the Americans would possess tremendous firepower.

    The previously cumbersome machine guns, cannons and rocketunchers as used by a single person, seemed effortless and easy after Robot Fusion. In addition, it was possible to fuse flyingponents to achieve even greater mobility, resulting in a multi-purpose weaponbat tform.

    Combining the small human body shell with the power of nes and cannons, it was now easier to control and executebined arms tactics and firepower.

    At this instant, the robot unit emerged and attacked the Tri-headed Golden Dragon in the sky. Metal storm, rockets and armor-piercing bullets rained on the Tri-headed Golden Dragon. Such numerous attacks were sufficient to explode an a civilian airliner. Although the Tri-headed Golden Dragon¡¯s body was humongous and the scale armor sturdy, it bellowed and writhed in pain in the sky.

    Roar! The huge dragon bellowed once, its wings pping a few times ferociously to stabilize itself. Then it descended upon the robot unit.

    Therge body form that appeared to have the crushing weight of a mountain, swooped down. One robot warrior transformed both his hands into two machine guns that started spitting bullets wildly at the Tri-headed Golden Dragon. Every second, thousands of armor-piercing bullets were fired, enough to explode an armored vehicle.

    This kind of terrifying weapon normally required a few American soldiers to carry and were installed on nes, tanks and armored vehicles. Currently, it only required a single soldier to operate with ease. The bullets rained on the scale armor of the Tri-headed Golden Dragon, causing it to disintegrate and fall off.

    Roar! Therge dragon endured sharp pain. Using its ws to press on the body of the robot warrior, it tossed the body to a distant skyscraper, crashing the outer wall. The robot warrior writhed along the way and then passed out.

    After neutralizing this opponent, even more robot warriors locked their muzzles on the dragon¡¯s body. Itsrge body had be an excellent target. At this instant, the man-madebat weapons constructed from steel were much more devastating than most supernatural power.

    Violent metal storm shredded Tri-headed Golden Dragon¡¯s scale armor. Numerous rockets exploded on its back, shaking its internal organs till they bled.

    At this moment, it seemed like the Tri-headed Golden Dragon was under a besieging attack by tens of people. The actual fact was apletely mechanized unit bombing and exploding the Dragon with vicious firepower.

    The direct firepower from the modern army was far superior than any supernatural ability.

    Under the attack of such ferocious firepower, even a small hill would be ttened by the explosions. How could the Tri-headed Golden Dragon pit against such brutal firepower?

    The sky rang with the sharp howling of the approaching Japanese supersonic fighter nes.

    The dragon let out roars of pain and directly crashed into a shopping mall by the side, evading the firepower of the robot warriors.

    A portion of the robot warriors entered to pursue, while another portion arrived at Apollo¡¯s side to provide protection.

    Apollo pointed to the location of the Sphinx cat in the sky and shouted, ¡°Use thermal imaging to target that cat!¡±

    Following the targeting by more than ten robot warriors, the Sphynx cat abruptly felt a sense of great danger.

    Previously, the supernatural power users used normal attacks. However, the current robot warriors had fused American¡¯s modern weapons and their whole body were considered killing machines. Just a focused volley of depleted armor-piercing bullets was sufficient to burn arge hole on the armor ting of a tank and melt various metallicponents.

    Even if the Sphynx cat¡¯s flesh body became stronger, he would not be able to withstand such focused firepower.

    If he was on the ground and exercised in high speed, even if there were ten dozens of robot warriors, he would not fear. However he was being lifted up to the sky by the gravitational power, so his mobility was greatly reduced.

    ¡°D*mn!¡± Sphynx cat took in a deep breath and forcefully spat. The inhtion and exhtion were extremely violent, allowing Sphynx cat to travel in the air at the speed of a normal bicycle rider.

    Just by using inhtion and exhtion to perform the act was proof of an incredible body constitution. However, to the robot warriors who were taking aim, it was too slow.

    Roly Poly grabbed Sphynx cat¡¯s neck and urinated from fear. The yellow liquid drenched the Sphynx cat and Roly Poly hollered, ¡°Ah, ah, ah, dead, dead, we are going to die! I do not wish to die here, I have not inherited cat caf¨¦, have not owned Cat Nation, I do not want to die!¡±

    ¡°Shut up!¡± Sphynx cat roared furiously. Looking at the robot warriors targeting him, he could note up with any solution.

    At this critical moment, a dark shadow shot up into the sky like a rocket, abruptly knocking into Sphynx cat¡¯s body, bringing him up to a higher altitude, thereby dodging the first wave attack of the robot warriors.

    It was Bai Quan. He finally arrived on the wedding day. On arrival, he discovered the American apostles besieging and attacking therge golden dragon. Hence, he ambushed one American apostle and eavesdropped on the battle situation via his ear microphones. At thest moment, he leaped on spot. Using his super strong constitution, he shot up to a hundred meters height, grabbed Sphynx cat and managed to evade this wave of attack.

    On seeing Bai Quan, who was hugging him, Sphynx cat said excitedly, ¡°Bai Quan, throw me down quickly! I am going to kill all of them!¡±

    Bai Quan did not understand catnguage, but he understood Sphynx cat¡¯s hand gesture. He transferred the trembling Roly Poly onto his neck and caressed Roly Poly¡¯s head. As Bai Quan lifted Sphynx cat, getting ready to throw, he said, ¡°Boss does not allow us to kill.¡±

    Sphynx cat revealed a nasty smile and said, ¡°If beaten to half dead, it will not be considered killing.¡±

    The next instant, Bai Quan¡¯s muscles abruptly expanded and his body executed a baseball throwing action. With a loud bang, Sphynx cat had stirred up a series of air waves. Like a cannon shot, he was tossed by Bai Quan towards the ground.

    The throw used up all the strength of Bai Quan. If the speed was not fast enough, Sphynx cat would be easy target for the gravitational power unit once again. Then both of them would be doomed.

    Sphynx cat flew out so fast as though it was a real cannon shot. When Bai Quan executed the throw, there was already a loud explosion sound on the ground. After which, a blurry shadow leaped out from the crater, followed by a stuttering of bullets in the crater. It was already toote.

    ¡°Below!¡±

    ¡°He is travelling at high speed!¡±

    ¡°Be careful...Boom!¡±

    The stuttering of bullets rang incessantly, followed by explosion res and blurred shadows. The robot warriors fired on the flickering locations of Sphynx cat with frenzy. However, their reaction time and shifting of the muzzles were much much slower than the movement of Sphynx cat.

    ¡°Ah!¡±

    ¡°He is behind!¡±

    ¡°Get away from the wall!¡±

    Boom! A cat¡¯s paw demolished the wall, causing a robot warrior, who was standing at the corner of the wall, to fly out, the body in mid air ringing out a series of explosions and countless robotponents were destroyed.

    ¡°Gather! Fall in!¡±

    ¡°Back to back!¡±

    ¡°Fly up! He does not have flying ability!¡±

    Following the taking off of a few robot warriors, a cement block weighing a few tons was lifted up into the sky by the Sphynx cat and then thrown towards a robot warrior. After a thunderous boom, that robot warrior was vomiting blood foam and falling down to the ground.

    The figure of Sphynx cat disappeared once again. A few rockets arrivedte and exploded on his previous position, leaving a trail of crumbling and dpidated walls.

    Having ceaseless high-speed manoeuvres, and frenzied energy fueling the muscles, neither the concrete reinforcing bars, cement nor any others were able to stop Sphynx cat.

    Apollo watched with a pale green face, ¡°Robot unit! All gather! Do not be singled out one by one and destroyed!¡±

    Only heavy panting, meaningless screams, explosions and gunshots answered his call.

    ¡°He is following me!¡±

    ¡°Oh God! Bullets cannot hit him!¡±

    ¡°Ah! My leg! My leg!¡±

    Apollo hollered into themunication set, ¡°Hello? Anyone heard me? What happened?¡±

    After a few moments, sounds of gunshots stopped and from the ear microphones, no one replied to Apollo¡¯s order.

    Sphynx cat was previously having a yful attitude, so he was unwittingly captured by the gravitational force unit.

    Once he was serious, the American supernatural units were powerless against him.

    In theplex urban environment,bined with Sphynx cat¡¯s shocking stealthy speed, facilitated his cover and sneak attacks. The Americans were unable to figure out his location and were being neutralized one by one. The power of the installed weapons and gears were not brought into y, not even ten percent.

    Apollo faced a wall of silence and the quiet ear microphone with a heavy heart. ¡°The ones we are dealing with, are they really supercats?¡±

    The next moment, a ferocious cat¡¯s head abruptly came out from the crumbled wall and bit Apollo¡¯s neck, pulling him into darkness.

    Bai Quan looked at the battlefield below and nodded smilingly. ¡°Sphynx cat does not have any issues, we shall help out boss.¡±

    Roly Poly grabbed Bai Quan¡¯s neck, feeling both of them free-falling to the ground. He trembled with fear and said, ¡°We are falling to our death!¡± Fearing that Bai Quan did not understand, he immediately made a phone call.

    Bai Quan shook his head. ¡°You are wrong.¡±

    ¡°You will fall to death. I will not.¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s face was distorted and he let out numerous terrified screams.

    At this time, pieces of cement blocks shot up into the sky. They were thrown at Bai Quan¡¯s position by Sphynx cat.

    Bai Quan¡¯s eyes brightened. With his whole body twisting, hended on the cement blocks step by step all the way, until he leaped into an office building.

    Roly Poly rolled over his stomach and copsed on the floor. He was so terrified that he was shedding fur all over his body and his four legs were weak.

    Bai Quan patted his clothes and stood up. ¡°Let¡¯s go Roly Poly. Let¡¯s help boss.¡±

    Roly Poly shook his head in fear and roared in his heart, ¡°D*mn, these two insane persons, I will never follow Sphynx cat and Bai Quan into battle again. Too d*mn dangerous, almost scared me to death.¡±

    Looking at Roly Poly shaking his head violently, Bai Quan frowned, ¡°Okay, you shall wait here, we will fetch youter.¡±

    While talking, he had turned to look at the hotel¡¯s location with both his eyes shing a golden ray. Male virgin power burnt fervently and Death-Endowing Virgin Eye activated. He saw in the direction of the hotel, ck orbs the size of a house gathering. They are obviously powerful non-virgin targets.

    ¡°So many of them.¡± Bai Quan¡¯s eyes brightened. In the banquet hall, everyone was enemy, with the exception of boss and Nanako, who were both virgins, so there was no worry of identally harming them.

    At the thought of this, he eyed the huge ck orbs in the hotel. First, he shut off the Death-Endowing Virgin Eye. After an assisted run, he leaped and crumbled a huge piece of cement floor from his step. His whole body rushed towards the hotel.

    With a loud bang, Bai Quan knocked through the hotel¡¯s outer wall and rushed into the midst of the main hall. At the dumbstruck gaze of everyone, he opened the Death-Endowing Virgin Eye and darkness descended.

    Bai Quan¡¯s Death-Endowing Virgin Eye could see the weakness of non-virgins. The higher the level of non-virginity, that was the greater the number of ***, the greater the weakness.

    ording to Bai Quan, the weaknesses of most of the apostles in the banquet hall were as huge as a vi. After he rushed into the main hall and opened his Death-Endowing Virgin Eye, he felt pitch ck in front and knocked his head into the weaknesses of over ten people.

    He lightly raised his hand and gently punched out into the dark in front.

    All of a sudden, numerous disintegration sounds rang out, the entire banquet hall were filled with screams of pain. After closing his Death-Endowing Virgin Eye, he saw arge group of both male and female apostles lying in a pool of blood.

    The normal people in the banquet had already fled, leaving only the more confident apostles.

    Most of the apostles were ordinary people who abruptly obtained supernatural abilities. What would an ordinary person do after obtaining power and influence? Anyway, Bai Quan¡¯s gaze revealed that the weakness of a third of the apostles was bigger than a house.

    On seeing the shocked gaze of Zhao Yao, Bai Quan smiled and said, ¡°Boss, I hope I am notte.¡±

    ¡°D*mn.¡± Zhao Yao was speechless. ¡°What have you done? We are having a good discussion and they were warmly receiving me. We are discussing Sino-Jap friendship and coboration. They called me friend of Japanese Zhao Yao. Even Kaede Hattori acknowledged me as his Chinese father.

    Now, you have beaten the sh*t out of them in a sh. You are destroying Sino-Jap friendship. My efforts are wasted because of you.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Bai Quan scratched his head and looked ashamed after surveying the wounded all over the floor.

    ¡°Only using brute force to solve problems. Have you been practising too much with Sphynx cat until your brain bes muscles?¡± Zhao Yao hurriedly shouted, ¡°Lucifer, quicklye out and heal the wounded.¡±

    At this point, approximately ten apostles in the main hall grabbed their lower body, lying on the ground, bleeding fresh blood and moaning. It was a pitiful scene. They looked at Zhao Yao and Bai Quan with terror, as if they were looking at two devils.

    Looking at the apostles sprawling on the ground, Zhao Yao said hurriedly, ¡°If you do not wish to be a eunuch, quickly inform your supercats to take back your abilities. I can heal your injuries.¡±

    Ares stood behind the Dimension Portal and upon hearing Zhao Yao, immediately raised his hand and said, ¡°Zhao Yao! Please do not! You are sure you want to use Lucifer? Please think thrice!!¡±

    Matcha rushed in front of Ares. It was not known when Matcha put on a white gown and face mask. Matcha said, ¡°Ares, how can you say that at this time? Saving lives is like saving fire, the wounded are dying.¡±

    Matcha, who was wearing a huge white robe, faced the Dimension Portal and shouted, ¡°Nurse Lucifer, follow me to prepare for surgery. Doctor Elizabeth, prepare the anaesthesia. Where is my surgery knife? Ares, is it you who hid it?¡±

    On the other hand, Zhao Yao rushed into the Extradimensional belly and dragged out Lucifer, who was bounded at the hands and legs and whose mouth was gagged with a ping pong ball.

    Zhao Yao furrowed his brows with disdain. Abruptly, his eyes brightened and he activated his illusive magic and verified with Bai Quan. This time, his illusive magic was not neutralized. Obviously the fellow who neutralized his illusive magic was seriously wounded on the ground, so he was unable to perform the negation.

    As such, Zhao Yao activated his illusive magic, making all his supercats invisible, especially hiding Lucifer¡¯s presence.

    After doing that, as Zhao Yao was removing the ball and the ropes from Lucifer, he was thinking of how to lower Lucifer¡¯s loyalty level, so that he could lend out his ability.

    When he was about to take out the ball from his mouth...

    Lucifer¡¯s loyalty decreased by one point.

    ¡°This d*amn cat.¡± Zhao Yao frowned and disregarded the issue of lowering his loyalty. He intended to find a target to heal, else these Japanese would be reluctant to let their supercats take away their abilities.

    He sighted Kaede Hattori first and was astonished because Kaede Hattori was entirely unharmed and he was standing at his original location.

    ¡°Why is this fellow unharmed?¡± asked Zhao Yao with surprise.

    The Bai Quan at his side nted his head and said, ¡°Boss, this fellow is still a virgin and his male virgin power is stronger than yours by more than ten times.¡±

    Without opening his Death-Endowing Virgin Eye, Bai Quan was able to see the presence of the male virgin power. What he saw in Zhao Yao¡¯s stomach was a tiny me, almost ready to extinguish at any point, whereas Kaede Hattori¡¯s one was a ferocious inferno.

    Zhao Yao red at Bai Quan in fury. ¡°Shut up.¡± If Kaede Hattori was no good, then it would be his brother.

    Zhao Yao looked at Kappei Hattori¡¯s position. He was lying on the ground, holding his lower body with his face revealing total breakdown.

    Zhao Yao carried Lucifer over and frankly said, ¡°If you do not wish to die, let your supercats take back the abilities, I am able to regenerate your bottom part.¡±

    Kappei Hattori almost fainted from the acute pain, after hearing Zhao Yao, his eyes brightened. He looked at Zhao Yao trembling and said,¡±You, you are saying...¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes, the most pleasurable one.¡±

    Upon hearing the reply, Kappei Hattori immediately took out his phone and contacted his subordinates, telling them to inform the supercats to take away his abilities.

    After this was done, he looked in anticipation at Zhao Yao.

    However, Zhao Yao would not yield easily. He pped his hands and attracted everyone¡¯s attention. Pointing at Kappei Hattori, he said, ¡°Everyone, please look over here, look over here and witness a miraculous moment.¡±

    Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Zhao Yao transferred Lucifer over to the blood-smeared body of Kappei Hattori. With his illusive magic, he appeared to everyone as if he was just touching the brow chakra of Kappei Hattori.

    The next moment, Kappei Hattori¡¯s mouth emitted shocking screams.

    ¡°Ah! Pleasurable, extreme pleasure!¡± Kappei Hattori was seen on the ground turning and tossing, his face showing indulgent pleasure.

    After witnessing this scene, many apostles revealed signs of bewilderment and suspected that Zhao Yao could be using an unknown ability to harm them. After all, Kappei Hattori¡¯s reaction did not appear to be a healed patient.

    After that, Zhao Yao helped Kappei Hattori up and said, ¡°Everyone, his wounds had been healed by me. If you do not wish to be a disabled person for the rest of your life, quickly cut off your abilities. Then I can treat all of you.¡±

    Many apostles looked at each other. On seeing the freely moving Kappei Hattori, they began to trust.

    Moreover, the acute pain from the wounds was unbearable, hence an apostle immediately raised his hand and screamed towards Zhao Yao, ¡°Quick! Save me! My cats have taken back the abilities!¡±

    A momentter, this apostle shouted a few times and leaped up, happily saying, ¡°I am good, I am well again?!¡±

    As such, numerous Japanese apostles shouted and begged for Zhao Yao to save them.

    Zhao Yao went to each and everyone. During the process of regeneration, moans of pleasure were emitted¡ªThe regeneration process could be quite addictive.

    Hideki Kujyo grinded his teeth, enduring the pain while Nanako and Sylvie anxiously stood by his side, feeling sad and helpless over his wounds.

    Zhao Yao walked over to Hideki Kujyo and said, ¡°Are the supernatural abilities taken back?¡±

    Nanako immediately nodded and said, ¡°My brother has already taken away the supernatural abilities, Zhao Yao, please save him immediately!¡±

    Zhao Yao shrugged his shoulders and lent Lucifer¡¯s ability to Hideki Kujyo.

    At that instant, the usuallyposed Hideki Kujyo could not resist opening his mouth to inhale a gust of cool air. He wanted to endure but let out a groan immediately, causing Nanako and Sylvie to look at each other.

    ¡°Treated, next.¡± Zhao Yao patted Hideki Kujyo¡¯s shoulders, stood up, and walked to the next wounded apostle.

    Hideki Kujyo looked at Zhao Yao with mixed feelings. An insignificant person that he scorned, managed to defeat hundreds of Japanese supernatural warriors and possessed regeneration and wounds healing ability.

    ¡°Dying, dying!¡±

    ¡°No! No!¡±

    ¡°Wow, is there such an ability?¡±

    ¡°With this ability, do I still want women? I could y with myself forever.¡±

    Everyone gazed at Zhao Yao with astonishment once again. The ability to kill was terrifying, however the power to save lives was highly respected.

    Looking at those rapidly healed apostles that stood up, everyone¡¯s gaze on Zhao Yao had changed. If one had this ability, how many lives would be in his hands? If those who were wounded or killed could be healed, and even various diseases could be treated, then this ability was too formidable.

    Moreover, the thought of having pleasure from the regeneration caused them to have restless and uncontroble feelings to surface in hearts.

    Everyone¡¯s gaze towards Zhao Yao was now filled with even more anticipation.

    On the other hand, if Kappei Hattori endured for just a little while, his entire body would feel as though it was bitten by millions of ants. It was extremely itchy and only if he cut himself viciously a few times, then the rapid regeneration would ease the difort.

    Once again, he tasted the pleasure that permeated into his bone marrow. And that caused the rpse of his addiction disorder. After a few minutes, Kappei Hattori could not bear it anymore and used his finger to stab viciously at himself.

    Even with such a tiny stimtion, he was pleasured to the point of humming out. Soon he used more force and eventually proceeded to insane self-muttion.

    The other apostles who experienced the rapid regeneration for the first time, were indulging in the weird pleasure. On seeing Kappei Hattori beating himself, they seemed to realize something. They looked at each other and recognize the weird gaze in each other¡¯s eyes.

    Hideki Kujyo saw the situation and immediately turned his head to ask, ¡°Zhao Yao, what was the previous pleasure about?¡± He pointed at Kappei Hattori and said, ¡°What happened to him?¡±

    Zhao Yao shrugged his shoulders and said, ¡°I endowed all of you with the rapid regeneration ability. With this ability, any wounds would rapidly heal. All feelings of pain would be amplified to pleasure, to prevent the suffering caused during the wounds and the healing process.¡±

    He looked at Kappei Hattori who was beating himself with more and more force and shook his head. ¡°So this a normal phenomenon, he is giving himself pleasure.¡±

    Finally, there was a person who could not bear the curiosity. Relishing the pleasure from the regeneration, he beat himself forcefully. Feeling his body shudder with pleasure, heughed loudly and knocked his head viciously on the floor.

    Just like an ignited fuse, more and more apostles started masochistic actions¡ªknocking heads on walls, beating each other, even stabbing with knives.

    Looking at this scene, Ares shook his head and sighed. ¡°Japan¡¯s superpower realm is finished.¡±

    Hideki Kujyo looked at the self-mutting apostles and felt urges to do the same. However, being the dominant leader of the Kujyo n, his willpower was extremely strong and he forcefully endured the urges.

    On the other side, Zhao Yao finally arrived in front of Kensei Yagyu and looked at his sorry state and said with ill intention, ¡°Treatment?¡±

    Kensei Yagyu¡¯s wounds were not caused by Bai Quan just now. He devoted most of his life on Budo. Although he was no longer virgin, ording to Bai Quan¡¯s Death-Endowing Virgin Eye, his weakness was only asrge as a ping pong ball.

    Nevertheless, he was severely injured by Zhao Yao. He suffered broken bones and severed tendons, unable to even stand up.

    Hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s words, he nodded his head, feeling ashamed. He thought, ¡°Never thought that the insignificant ant that I was going to kill easily, was actually a Godzi.¡±

    Zhao Yao revealed a strange smile and lent Lucifer¡¯s ability to Kensei Yagyu.

    Immediately, Kensei Yagyu¡¯s wounds were healed by the rapid regeneration. He sat up with a face of weird expressions, his eyes glimmered with various doubts and hesitations.

    However, Kensei Yagyu was a warrior whose willpower was battle-hardened. With regards to enduring such pleasure, he was able to do better than Hideki Kujyo. As such, he quickly suppressed the urges. However, seeing the surrounding apostles who sumbed to the urges of pleasure, his suppressed urges began to surge from the bottom of his heart.

    At this time, a gust of fierce wind swept by. Following the thunderous bang of the air, the invisible Sphynx cat appeared next to Zhao Yao, his mouth holding Roly Poly, who was dripping urine.

    Roly Poly shivered and said, ¡°You ran too fast! Put me down quickly. I feel my back breaking.¡±

    Sphynx cat spit out Roly Poly on the ground with disdain. ¡°A strong urine stench. If Zhao Yao had not asked me to take care of you, I would not bring you along.¡±

    After listening to their conversation, Zhao Yao also spoke in their awareness, ¡°Sphynx? Roly Poly? Things settled? Where is Cat Sage?¡±

    Sphynx cat said, ¡°Those Americans were settled. However, the Japanese cops and army came and Cat Sage is dealing with them.¡±

    Outside the restaurant, Cat Sage who was being brutally attacked by the Americans and whose scale armor was shredded, rushed out of the shopping mall and vented his fury on a group of Japanese cops.

    The normal pistol shots thatnded on his body were unable to prate his armor. Numerous police cars were crushed underneath his paws like toy cars.

    When the cops witnessed the creature from fantasy, they eximed ¡°Ghidorah¡± and fled.

    Roar! Cat Sage looked satisfactorily at the terrified crowd, then bellowed and roared as he ascended into the sky. However, just as he was airborne, two distant fighter nes closed in and the machine guns spatet-like bullets on Cat Sage.

    Aspared to the attack by fifty or more robot warriors, the firepower from the two fighter nes was much inferior to the fused weaponry of the robot warriors.

    The body of therge dragon twisted with agility under the control of Cat Sage, allowing him to evade most of the bullets. At the same time, a pair of golden wings protected his body like a bullet-proof vest and shielded a portion of the attack.

    Next, he let out a loud roar and a pair of wings pped to create surging air waves. He elerated towards the fighter nes in the sky.

    The loudmotion from the battle attracted many people¡¯s attention, especially the flying Tri-headed Golden Dragon, which became the main focus.

    Numerous people in the offices, in front of the ss windows of the shopping mall and on the streets let out gasps of astonishment on witnessing the Tri-headed Golden Dragon pursuing the fighter nes.

    Someone quickly took out the handphone and aimed it at the Tri-headed Golden Dragon in the sky.

    ¡°Ghidorah!¡±

    ¡°Is it really King Ghidorah? Or balloon or kite?¡±

    ¡°Could it be a promotional gimmick by aputer game?¡±

    Looking outside the window, Bai Quan saw themotion created by Cat Sage and informed Zhao Yao in a hurry.

    Zhao Yao face-palmed and shook his head. ¡°This fool, Bai Quan, bring Roly Poly along with you and stop those police cops from approaching.¡± After that, he faced the apostles in the huge hall and said, ¡°I have some matters to attend to.¡±

    As such, Roly Poly was crying as he was being dragged away by Bai Quan. Zhao Yao once again walked to the center location and pped his hands and attracted the attention of all the apostles. He said frankly, ¡°As you have seen, I control death on my left hand and life on my right hand. Submit to me and my son Kaede Hattori and together, we unify the Japanese superpower realm.¡±

    At this point, Old Cat finally transmitted this awareness into Hideki Kujyo¡¯s mind, ¡°This man... perhaps can change Japan.¡±

    Hence, Hideki Kujyo furrowed his brows, stood up and said, ¡°You are thinking of unifying Japanese superpower realm? As a Chinese man?¡±

    ¡°Not me.¡± Zhao Yao pointed at Kaede Hattori and said, ¡°My son Kaede Hattori, he shall be the leader of the Japanese superpower realm and lead you in the rise of Japan. I will be behind, assisting him. I will endow all of you with great abilities and an invincible body. From now on, the government will still retain governing power, and we.... control their life and death.¡±

    Under the effect of the illusive magic, golden rays coiled around Zhao Yao¡¯s body. Pointing his finger at the sky and the other at the ground, the milky way appeared above his head, however underneath the feet, was the Earth. He seemed to have broken out of the universe and upied everyone¡¯s field of vision.

    ¡°This pretence seems pretty good. The conquering mission will bepleted.¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin with satisfaction. On looking down, he discovered a group of apostles lying on the ground¡ª some stabbing themselves with knives and crying out in pleasure bleeding while others knocked their heads on the ground incessantly, their face revealing besotted expressions.

    And those who beat each other up, emitting a series of moans as they hit.

    Only Hideki Kujyo, who was just brainwashed, looked at him with bright eyes and thought, ¡°This man... perhaps can change Japan.¡±

    ¡°The Japanese superpower realm... is finished. D*mn, how can I answer to Uncle Ho when I returned? Will the Japanese government cklist me, banning me from touring Japan? I have not properly toured Akihabara.¡± Zhao Yao looked speechless at them and then finally said, ¡°Whoever joins, I will endow you with regeneration ability everyday.¡±

    ¡°Me!¡±

    ¡°I am joining!¡±

    On Zhao Yao¡¯s mission panel, with the joining of each apostle, the chain missionpletion rate rted to Kaede Hattori umted very fast. Finally the second step of the chain mission waspleted.

    After the missionpletion rate reached seventy percent, Zhao Yao sighed in relief.

    At his moment, sounds of explosion rang out from outside. Cat Sage in the guise of a tiger escaped from outside and looked at Zhao Yao, saying, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao! The human army is approaching, Bai Quan and Sphynx cat are unable to hold much longer.¡±

    The massive body and weight of the Tri-headed Golden Dragon provided its destructive power, however it is also an easy target for concentrated firepower. After the arrival of the Japanese army, Bai Quan and Sphynx cat let Cat Sage to return first.

    After hearing Cat Sage, Zhao Yao furrowed his brows. ¡°The chain mission had reached seventy percent, only very few remained.¡± He walked to the front of Kaede Hattori and indicated to Elizabeth to release control of Kaede Hattori.

    Kaede Hattori felt the power of the control and was unable to even move his finger. The power that stopped the Divine Rays of Terror from activating slowly dissipated.

    He stroked his cheeks, looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°What are you trying to do?¡± After experiencing the nonsensical events in the banquet hall, Kaede Hattori could not understand what Zhao Yao was trying to do.

    Because he was very clear, he had no rtionship with Zhao Yao. If there was, it would be hatred.

    He believed Zhao Yao also knew this point. Then why was he trying to subdue the Japanese superpower realm for him? For him to pit against the government? This was quite possible. The Japanese government would not sit by and watch the Hattori n unify the Japanese superpower realm and transform the Special Higher Police and various powerful supercats into weapons of the Hattori n.

    To create chaos in the Japanese superpower realm? This was quite possible as these fellows were being subdued by Zhao Yao¡¯s power and schemes and it would not be long before they rebel.

    Various possibilities surged within Kaede Hattori¡¯s mind and he was unable to ascertain for sure. However, he was sure Zhao Yao had ill intentions.

    On seeing the doubtful gaze of Kaede Hattori, Zhao Yao patted his shoulders and said, ¡°Of course to help you realize your ambition. Now that you have subdued the Japanese superpower realm, what other wishes do you have? Let daddy help youplete.¡±

    Upon hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s address, Kaede Hattori¡¯s face became gloomy. However, he said, ¡°What do you intend to do next? An open war with the Japanese government? The Americans had already intervened, they would not allow us to live.¡±

    At this time, Bai Quan returned once again to the hotel main hall, his whole body dusty and dirty. An indication that the situation outside was grim.

    The appearance of the Tri-headed Golden Dragon and the extermination of two of American¡¯s supernatural unit had greatly shaken the Japanese government, so they sent out arge portion of the army. Because of the city, the government was unable to deployplete mechanized units, however the current force were sufficient to repulse Bai Quan and Sphynx cat.

    ¡°Boss, time to go.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head. He had no intention of pitting against a country directly. As such, he opened the Dimension Portal and shouted to everyone in the main hall, ¡°Everyone, the army is here, it is not time for us to fight with them, follow me.¡±

    Zhao Yao could not allow these Japanese apostles to flee on their own. At least, he had topletely erase their memories before letting them go.

    Like chasing pigs, the apostles in the main hall were hurried into the Extradimensional belly. Zhao Yao and Dust Ball raised their hands and swallowed the entire hall into the Extradimensional belly to ensure no evidence was left behind.

    As such, when the Japanese army rushed into the hotel, only an empty space greeted them. Even the floor of the banquet hall was missing.

    Zhao Yao stood beside the soldiers, relying on Roly Poly¡¯s invisibility and Elizabeth¡¯s illusive magic to stay perfectly hidden by the side.

    ¡°Good, the remaining eye witnesses are those Americans.¡± Zhao Yao patted Sphynx cat¡¯s head and said, ¡°Sphynx, bring me to them.¡±

    Hence, Zhao Yao followed Sphynx cat, who was made invisible by Roly Poly, onto the streets to look for the trails of the American apostles. After discovering an American apostle lying in the ruins, Zhao Yao opened the Dimension Portal and tossed him into it.

    At the other side, themanding officer of the supernatural unit, Apollo was being lifted onto a stretcher. His entire body was full of cat w marks and his face revealed slight traces of terror.

    A Japanese solder at his sideforted, ¡°Do not be afraid, Mr Apollo. You are rescued and nobody is able to harm you.¡±

    Apollo swallowed his saliva and said, ¡°Quick, give me a phone, I have important intelligence to report.¡±

    ¡°You need rest.¡±

    ¡°Quick, give me the phone, fool!¡±

    The next instant, at the shocked gaze of the soldier, Apollo abruptly disappeared. He was being tossed into the Dimension Portal by the invisible Zhao Yao.

    After leaving with all the Japanese supernatural unit and ensuring that all eye witnesses were in the Extradimensional belly, Zhao Yao nodded his head with satisfaction. He brought his own supercats into the Extradimensional belly, leaving a chaotic Tokyo behind.

    On this night, the entire Japan or the political, military realm of the world were in turmoil because of the devastating change in Tokyo.

    On the Japanese side, more than a hundred powerful apostles and more than ten powerful supercats went missing.

    On the American side, two supernatural units disappeared, including one officer that disappeared in the presence of a Japanese soldier. Six hourster, on the streets of Ginza in Tokyo, the local police discovered the missing members of the supernatural units.

    However, they were naked and lost all gears, including the memories for the past 24 hours.

    The high level Japanese and American government was shaken. A Sino-Jap investigation section was created just for this incident. The elites from the two countries were deployed to find out the truth of this incident.

    For the civilian¡¯s side, the greatest impact was the sky above Tokyo¡¯s busiest downtown area. The appearance of the never seen before Tri-headed Golden Dragon caused the explosion of the news on Japan¡¯s inte.

    Fantasy film industry took responsibility for the incident and admitted that it was a promotional activity for the ¡°Godzi versus Ghidorah¡± movie. The Tri-headed Golden Dragon in the pictures were created using modern stereoscopic 3D effectsbined with huge machinery.

    As for the civilians in other countries, after seeing the news of the monster on the inte, they treated it like various discovered zombies, vampires, and tribtion transcenders postings, and dismissed it with a smile.

    Most of the countries did not ban such information. With the rapid development of supercats and apostles, more and more people all over the world were beginning to ept and assimte such intelligence. The world society was progressively weing the joining of these new members.

    Twelve hourster, after Zhao Yao had destroyed all witness and material evidences and deeply hidden in the dark, he brought Kaede Hattori to a hill by a naval port, overlooking the distant American base.

 Chapter 586: The Attack

    <h4>Chapter 586: The Attack</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    After entering the Extradimensional belly, witnessing the terrifying flexibility of the Dimension Doorways, and seeing the numerous other supercats within the Extradimensional belly, the Special Higher Police and other Japanese apostles, including Kaede Hattori, Hideki Kujyo and the others were all convinced of his powers.

    Especially when it came to Kaede Hattori and Hideki Kujyo, to them, as long as such abilities were carefully managed, even if the goal was to conquer the world it would not be impossible. As such, they became even more eager to cooperate with Zhao Yao, hoping to use him to achieve their own ambitions.

    This also achieved Zhao Yao¡¯s aim of wanting to ¡®help¡¯ them, and very quickly he received the third mission of the chain mission from Kaede Hattori, which was also thest mission.

    Chain Mission: Kaede Hattori¡¯s Wild Ambitions

    Mission Objective: Help Kaede Hattori achieve his wild ambitions step by step. The third step would be to steal the American supercats stationed in Japan¡¯s base.

    Reward: Steal various supercats to receive varying missionpletion rates. The current missionpletion rate is 70%. Rewards would be calcted at the end based on thepletion rate of the whole chain mission, which includes a vast amount of experience points, the Paralysis Ring, the Dragon ying Saber, activating a new ability, and other great rewards.

    Punishment: None

    In the specific list of mission rewards, all of it were the four supercats listed in Kaede Hattori¡¯s intelligence. These four supercats provided for all the abilities of the American superpower unit stationed in Japan, including the gravitation field and robot integration powers.

    If all four supercats were stolen it would amount to 30% of the missionpletion rate, which meant that the whole chain mission would bepleted.

    The reason why there were only four supercats was because the nine times nine different varieties of supercats owned by the Americans were all situated in their homnd. The supercats that were sent out to different parts of the world were only used for lending out their powers, hence, the quality of their powers were valued more than their quantity, for their powers would be good enough as long as they could lend them out on arge-scale basis toplete various missions.

    Zhao Yao looked at Kaede Hattori at the side and said, ¡°Are you sure the American supercats are all here?¡±

    Kaede Hattori nodded, ¡°No matter what kind of supercat it is, their powers could only be lent out for at most 24 hours, hence the American troops that were stationed across the world all have apanying supercats stationed with them. As for the supercats stationed in Japan, they are all gathered in the base here.¡±

    After saying this, Kaede Hattori looked at Zhao Yao with worry and asked, ¡°Are you sure you want to go in alone? The defense in this base is very strict andplex, full of various high-tech American products, as well as various supercats with strange powers.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry Kaede, I will make it quick.¡±

    As he said that, Zhao Yao¡¯s body disappeared like powder dust in front of Kaede Hattori¡¯s eyes.

    The Zhao Yao now was still in his supercat armor, relying on Roly Poly¡¯s invisibility and Elizabeth¡¯s power of illusion for cover as he walked towards the base of the American troops.

    However,pared to previous instances where he had to infiltrate into a ce, it would certainly be more difficult to do so this time, based on the hundreds of movies, TV shows, novels and anime that Zhao Yao had watched before. For bases like these, apart from surveince and physical troops stationed there, there would definitely be various other measures in ce to prevent people from infiltrating in, such as infrared,sers, quality control and many other things.

    Afterall, Zhao Yao was not a professional, so he was very cautious and serious this time round, and had formted a detailed n.

    First he called out Gaia and borrowed his power to burrow into the ground, burrowing into the magma below the surface of a warehouse located within the base.

    Following that, he traversed upwards till he reached the surface of the ground, and after seeing that there were not much people around, he quietly released Mango into the warehouse and prepared to cast the power of illusion.

    Mango¡¯s yellow eyes widened as he stared nkly at the warehouse in front of him before yawningzily as if he was about to sleep.

    On the other side, Zhao Yao had already casted the special illusion that he had created just to lower Lucifer¡¯s loyalty level.

    ¡°Be constipated for one whole day.¡±

    Mango¡¯s eyes flew open and became rounded as he started pacing around anxiously, looking for a cat toilet.

    However, Zhao Yao had already followed up with more illusions, ¡°Be constipated for 2 whole days... ten whole days... half a month.¡±

    Looking at Mango who was severely rmed, Zhao Yao sighed and said, ¡°Sorry Mango, but this is the pain of growing up. Be it cat or human, this is a problem we will face someday...¡±

    In the next moment, Zhao Yao clutched his belly and ordered Gaia to burrow downwards.

    ¡°Quick burrow down, the Mang-weapon is about to explode!¡±

    As the illusion waves reached him, Mango¡¯s eyes became rounder and rounder in anger, and as he was seriously unable to find a cat toilet in this circumstance, he had no choice but to rely on his natural instinct, which was to activate his power.

    Zhao Yao finally managed hide up to 100 meters below the ground surface level before he quietly let out his breath, ¡°Mango¡¯s ¡°let¡¯s all have diarrhoea¡¯ power has been activated, it¡¯s a really scary power. If this power was cast uncontrobly, it might just destroy the whole world.¡±

    Elizabeth speechlessly rolled her eyes. ¡®Let¡¯s all have diarrhoea¡¯ was the name Zhao Yao gave for Mango¡¯s superpower, but Elizabeth had always felt that Mango¡¯s ability was not so simple. She thought to herself, ¡°Shitting should just be this child¡¯s hobby, not the basis for his power. His ability should be something moreplex and more difficult to exin.¡±

    After a while,rge crowds of soldiers rushed out of the base, and more than half of the base was in chaos as all sorts of bad smells filled the air, as if a chemical weapon had been released in the air.

    Amander rushed out of his office and looked at the chaotic crowd running around as he bellowed, ¡°What is going on? Is someone attacking us?¡± The office that he was happened to lie outside the range of Mango¡¯s power waves.

    But at the next moment, one soldier was seen clutching his stomach and pointing towards themander¡¯s office and saying, ¡°It¡¯s there! There¡¯s a toilet there!¡±

    Boom! When he saw the mass of soldiers running towards him like zombies, themander mmed the door closed and dialed the phone.

    ¡°Hello? Reinforcement, we need reinforcement here, the soldiers are staging a rebellion!!¡±

    ¡°What? The soldiers are rebelling? What happened?¡±

    Bang! Bang! Bang! Themander¡¯s door was being thumped on crazily, as if all the soldiers outside had just taken glycerine enema as they shouted, ¡°Open the door! We need to use the toilet!¡±

    Mango¡¯s ability was something Zhao Yao had not been able to figure out until now, and did not dare to try experimenting with, as it was too troublesome to do so. However, there was one thing Zhao Yao understood, which was that Mango¡¯s power waves were very strong and could spread far, to the extent that almost all the methods known to him now, including the Deflective Field, Anti-Radiation Layer, Diamond Panel, the power of vacuum, and many other methods were unable to prevent the spread of his power waves.

    The only way was to hide far far away, such that there was enough distance from Mango¡¯s location.

    Hence, Zhao Yao hid deep below for around 5 minutes to wait for his power of illusion to end, before he could dare to resurface and call Mango back.

    On the the other hand, the situation in the base at this moment was in chaos. Being invisible, Zhao Yao speedily went around the base to first turn off all the power sources and standby power sources.

    After that, he began to search for the supercats. Reinforcement from outside would arrive soon, hence he had no time to waste in finding the supercats.

    When he passed by the interior of the base, Matcha¡¯s paws waved uncontrobly in the air, ¡°This won¡¯t do, I can¡¯t control the prehistorical powers in my body. I really want to bury all these things.¡±

    At the side, Ares had already pped his paws and extended his Deflective Field over, digging up the cement around them to bury the lumps of ¡®curry¡¯ (shit) lying around.

    Ares: ¡°I really want to bury this whole base.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 587: Catching Cats</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    Looking at the mess around the floor and smelling the strange odor, Zhao Yao felt a bit disgusted and could help frowning deeply, ¡°No, at this rate I might just puke.¡±

    As such, Zhao Yao quickly casted an illusion on himself and the supercats around him, pixting all the ¡®curry¡¯ around them and turning the bad smell in the air into a floral one.

    ¡°Feels much better now.¡±

    Zhao Yao continued to venture deeper into the base. Fortunately, Kaede Hattori had previously prepared sufficient intel about the base, so he followed the descriptions ording to the intel and reached the front of a fortification.

    Using the power of burrowing beneath the surface, he sessfully bypassedyer afteryer of defense and opened a secret underground chamber. Zhao Yao immediately found a bunch of supercats inside, but frowned at once when he saw them.

    This room for taking care of the supercats was actually pretty well-furnished. In terms of size, facilities, arrangement and decorations, the room was very suitable for supercats to live in, and even had electricity and Inte connection, as well as food and drinks.

    However there were pixted images all over the room, and a strong floral scent assaulted their senses.

    The key thing was that Zhao Yao only saw two supercats, not four.

    The two supercats were one male and one female respectively. The female caty on the floor and her butt area was covered with pixels, while the other male cat was leaning his back on the wall, and was covered in pixels from head to toe.

    Zhao Yao thought for a bit, and decided to reveal his presence, but in the illusion of a soldier.

    When he saw Zhao Yao and hispany suddenly materialize, and the look of disdain on their face, the pixted cat immediately said, ¡°This has nothing to do with me, I didn¡¯t stuff anything into her. The moment I climbed on her she started shitting like crazy, shooting out everywhere like a machine gun. The whole room is covered in her shit, which is so scary, too scary.¡±

    The pixted cat was obviously traumatized, and could only repeat the four words ¡®so scary, too scary¡¯ at the end.

    Zhao Yao stared at this cat for a while, but he was fully pixted, making him say in exasperation, ¡°Which one of you is going to clean him up? I can¡¯t even tell which one of the four cats he is.¡±

    All the cats shook their head to show their unwillingness, angering Zhao Yao, ¡°When it¡¯s meal time all of youe rushing forward, why is it that when ites to the dirty job no one is willing to help? I will only give you all a minute to choose a cat among yourselves to lick him off.¡±

    All the cats stared at each other, and started to discuss noisily among themselves in their consciousness, with all sorts of power and money transactions happening at the same time, including catmint, game coins and RMB.

    Conversations across consciousness started opening up as if they were all in a group messaging chat.

    At first, the biggest consciousness chat group, which all the supercats were involved in, started off discussing noisily but it all ended in silence towards the end.

    After which, it split into small groups of two or three supercats discussing among themselves in their own consciousness chat groups.

    However, there was only one cat at the scene, Fish Ball, who nced at all the cats around him with a strange look as he monitored his only consciousness chat group, the chat where all the supercats could hear in, and screamed out, ¡°Why have all of you stopped talking?¡±

    All the other cats turned their heads and stared at him, a strange glint shing in their eyes.

    One minuteter, Fish Ball was dragged towards the pixted cat by Zhao Yao. Fish Ball struggled and thrashed about wildly as he was being dragged, and shouted and screamed wildly, ¡°You guys can¡¯t do this! I¡¯m going to tell Xiao Yu! You guys are bullying other people¡¯s cat!¡±

    Zhao Yao coaxed him and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will send you home in a bit. Xiao Yu will wash you clean, and look...¡± as he said that, Zhao Yao snapped his fingers, and the pixted cat had turned into a huge pile of small dried fish.

    ¡°Licking this won¡¯t be a problem right?¡±

    Fish Ball hesitated for a moment, desire lurking in his eyes, but at the next moment he regained his senses and shook his head agitatedly saying, ¡°No! I don¡¯t want to lick that s*it!¡± Suddenly, his eyes brightened and he said, ¡°Wait! Wait... wait, I have an idea!¡±

    One minuteter, Noodle slowly walked out from the dimension doorway and appeared in front of everyone. Once he stepped into this secret underground chamber, he was immediately influenced by the surroundings and saw pixels all around him.

    He frowned and asked Fish Ball, ¡°Fish Ball, why did you call me here? I am very busy you know, I have no time to y games with you guys.¡±

    Zhao Yao asked curiously, ¡°Hey, Noodle, why were you so near my house?¡± If he was not anywhere near that 18-storey building of his, he would not have been able to find him so quickly.

    Noodle¡¯s expression stiffened as he casually replied, ¡°I was just walking around, what¡¯s wrong with that,¡± as he thought to himself, ¡°D*mn it, why can¡¯t I find the ¡®curry¡¯ that I atest time.¡±

    Zhao Yao stared at him suspiciously, ¡°Really?¡±

    Fish Ball quicklymunicated with Zhao Yao through his consciousness, ¡°Zhao Yao, quick, remove the illusion for Noodle!¡±

    ¡°Huh? Why?¡±

    Fish Ball shouted, ¡°Stop asking, just trust me!¡±

    Zhao Yao hesitantly removed the illusion for Noodle and in the next moment, he saw the husky stand up abruptly, looking at the pixted cat in disbelief.

    The husky¡¯s heart thumped in excitement, ¡°An average-looking Dragon Li that¡¯s covered in fresh yellow ¡®curry¡¯ is the perfectbination between cat and ¡®curry¡¯, how could there be anything tastier than this? One lick of this would not only give the taste of a cat¡¯s fur, but also the rich smell and taste of fresh ¡®curry¡¯.¡±

    In the next moment, Noodle had already charged forward as he was drooling. Just like a cat lover seeing a cat, a cat seeing catmint, and the husky seeing shit, he charged forward crazily and started licking the pixels around the pixted cat.

    Once the pixted cat saw a husky charging towards him, he immediately screamed in fear, ¡°Save me! This dog wants to eat me!¡±

    As he watched the pixels being slowly licked off, revealing the real look of the Dragon Li, Zhao Yao shook his head, ¡°If I remember correctly, this cat is neither the gravitation or robot integration cat.¡±

    Matcha asked curiously, ¡°Then what is his power?¡±

    ¡°Peeing with a very urate aim,¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin and said, ¡°That¡¯s what it appears on the surface, but I heard that after borrowing his power it could give one a near-perfect shooting aim of almost 100%. Anyone could be a sharpshooter from that, and this could be considered amonly used power among the American apostles. The effect is considerably good, and appears discreet, which is very good for field work.¡±

    As for the other supercat who had passed out from shitting around the whole room, Zhao Yao had already checked her out and confirmed that she was neither the gravitation or robot integration cat.

    In this case, he could only steal two out of four cats, achieving a missionpletion rate of only 85%.

    ¡°D*mn it, they must have changed the location for cing the supercats.¡± Zhao Yao asked the two supercats, but they too had no idea where the other two cats had been transferred to.

    Zhao Yao stared at the mission panel. With apletion rate of 85%, the mission could be consideredplete, but on second thoughts, the rewards for an 85%pleted mission could definitely notpare to that of a 100% fullypleted mission.

    ¡°Does that mean I wouldn¡¯t get my Paralysis Ring and Dragon ying Saber?¡±

    At the same time, loud noises were came from the outside, as the reinforcement had arrived.

    Although he felt indignant, Zhao Yao was still able to think rationally as he knew that the remaining two cats would not be easy to find. Hence, he retreated out of the base and found Kaede Hattori to fulfil his task.

 Chapter 588: Completed At Last

    <h4>Chapter 588: Completed At Last</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    After leaving the American base, Zhao Yao found Kaede Hattori who was waiting anxiously, and presented to him two supercats that had been licked clean.

    ¡°There were only these two in the base, the gravitation cat and robot integration cat were nowhere to be found.¡±

    Even so, when Kaede Hattori saw the supercats in Zhao Yao¡¯s hands, he still walked up to him excitedly, ¡°Great, with these two supercats gone, the superpowers of the American forces in Japan would at least be reduced by more than 30%. By the time they sent more supercats over, a few weeks would have passed, which would be enough time for us to do many things.¡±

    With Kaede Hattori¡¯s reply, Zhao Yao hadpleted this whole series of chain missions. He looked happily at his mission panel and saw that a ¡®Mission Completed¡¯ option had appeared.

    When he tapped on that option, the chain mission disappeared, and was reced by a huge rewards roulette.

    ¡°Dragon ying Saber, Paralysis Ring, Spicy Cat Strips, Meow Meow Woad Root, Cat Prince Costume...¡±

    Looking at the different kinds of rewards disyed on the roulette, Zhao Yao could not help butugh, as he wanted every reward that was on disy.

    But as he saw that the 85% missionpletion rate reduced his chances to 8 roulette spins, Zhao Yao felt the frustration rise up in his heart again.

    ¡°Looks like every 10% of missionpletion rate gives one chance at winning a reward,¡± Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°That¡¯s right, even if I didn¡¯t win over all the Japanese apostles in the previous two steps of the chain mission, I would still have been able to advance to the third step, just that my missionpletion rate would be lower, giving less chances to spin for a reward.¡±

    Although Zhao Yao really wanted to try spinning for a reward right now, he raised his head and nced at the crowd before him, knowing that now was not the time to do so.

    Hence, he called everyone over and pped his hands as he said, ¡°Everyone look here.¡±

    Kaede Hattori, Hideki Kujyo, Kappei Hattori and even Kensei Yagyu, Nanako, Sylvie and the rest all looked at Zhao Yao, feeling curious and astonished at the same time.

    Kaede Hattori: ¡°This man... he might just be the hope of the whole supernatural realm in Japan.¡±

    Hideki Kujyo frowned and thought to himself, ¡°Does he like Nanako? Should I let Nanako date him? D*mn it, the thought of Nanako dating him, **** with him, **** again, **** after that makes me really ufortable.¡±

    Nanako¡¯s face turned red and her heart started thumping as she thought, ¡°isn¡¯t Zhao Yao and Baiquan...? But he actually became enemies with two great countries like Japan and America for my sake, I actually made a gay guy straight again! What if he confesses to me?¡±

    Sylvie: ¡°This man... he went to clubs so many times previously and still stayed in a twin room with two other men, going out with dark eye circles every time. Will it really be good if mydy gets together with him? Should I tell Ms. Nanako all these things?¡±

    Kensei Yagyu: ¡°This man... he actually has so many supercats, I really want to touch them... but that might be too frivolous of me right, d*mn it...¡±

    Kappei Hattori: ¡°I really feel like mutting myself again, but why isn¡¯t anyone else taking action? Is everyone else all holding it in? Their tolerance level is really high, maybe I should take the lead and start on my own? D*mn, I feel like I can¡¯t hold it in.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the crowd staring at him and nodded his head in satisfaction, ¡°Hi everyone, next we will...¡±

    In a whoosh, Zhao Yao¡¯s body disappeared into invisibility with Roly Poly¡¯s help, exposing the ragdoll cat mother, Catherine, behind him.

    The moment they saw Catherine, everyone in the crowd fainted one by one, and at Zhao Yao¡¯smand, Diana and Caesar walked up to crowd together and started erasing all their memories from the past 24 hours.

    After an hour, the missing people from the Tokyo incident reappeared on the streets of Akihabara. When they were discovered by people, they had already lost their memories from thest 24 hours, and all the electronic products they had with them had disappeared without a trace as well.

    Afterwards all of them were subjected to interrogation by the Japan-United States joint investigation team, and the Hattori family was also heavily suppressed by both Japanese and American forces, losing their esteemed status as the strongest family in Japan, so Kappei Hattori and Nanako¡¯s wedding naturally did not continue as well.

    Of course, because of this incident, there had been profound impacts on the supernatural realm in Japan, on the Special Higher Police, the Kujyo family and many others, while Zhao Yao, who was already on the ne back currently, was totally unaware of all these things.

    Zhao Yao was now looking in delight at the content of his rewards lottery panel.

    He discovered that the rewards lottery panel activated after thepletion of this chain mission was not a one-off kind, a rewards lottery module which the Book had directly added.

    This meant that aside from the supercat panel, mission panel and diamond hall, there was an additional page for a rewards lottery.

    Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°Does this mean that whenever I take on a mission from a burning exmation mark, it will give a mission that has a rewards lottery with multiple draws?¡±

    However, fearing that the rewards lottery would make a scene, he decided to draw the lot when he reached home. But once he alighted the ne and opened his phone, he received a call from Uncle Ho.

    At this moment, Uncle Ho was rubbing his bald head with a pained look on his face as he sighed and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, the Tokyo incident has nothing to do with you right?¡±

    ¡°What incident?¡± Zhao Yao pretended like he knew nothing and continued, ¡°I don¡¯t know what you are talking about.¡±

    ¡°Cut your act,¡± Uncle Ho said, ¡°The Japanese side just sent the news over, and they hope you can go back and cooperate with their investigation.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s heart stopped for a bit, but he regained hisposure almost immediately as he realized that it might be because he was in the guest list for the wedding, so he continued saying, ¡°They must be mistaken, there are so many people called Zhao Yao, I just travelled there for a normal holiday these few days, what¡¯s there to investigate. Oh no, the signal is getting bad suddenly, hello, what are you saying, hello...¡±

    After ending the call, Zhao Yao hurriedly left the airport and found a toilet to go into and immediately swallowed himself into the extradimensional belly.

    Afterall, he took the ne back just for the purposes of fulfilling the visa paperwork requirements, so he just went into his extradimensional belly straight away.

    However, because of the Tokyo incident, Zhao Yao had still used his dimension doorways, and the doorway to the cat cafe was used up by him in the battle, so the extradimensional belly only had the doorways to the 18-storey building and the Cat Ind.

    Baiquan smuggled in to Japan illegally to begin with, hence he did not take the ne and straight away entered the extradimensional belly, reaching Jianghai a few hours earlier.

    Zhao Yao looked at the surrounding supercats whom started to fight and y around with each other as if nothing ever happened, and walked towards the Cat Ind leisurely.

    ¡°The world has returned to peace, and it is time for me to strike lottery 8 times in a row as well.¡± Zhao Yao had decided toe to the Cat Ind and washed his hands before finding a nice ce with beautiful scenery to start drawing his rewards.

    But at the next moment he suddenly remembered, ¡°Oh right, I might as well take Red Packet here and hug him in my arms as I draw the reward lots.¡±

    Red Packet¡¯s money-making ability is rted to luck, so even though it was unclear if he could increase Zhao Yao¡¯s luck at the rewards lottery, he decided that it was worth a try anyway.

    In the extradimensional belly, Red Packet was standing outside the catmint field and saying to Dust Ball, who was lying on the ground in the fields, ¡°Dust Ball, listen to me, your catmint quality is so good, if we sell it out we will definitely make a profit.¡±

    His eyes burned with passion as he said, ¡± We will first set up a stall to sell catmint in the small district. Once we have saved enough we can open a shop,once the shop is famous we can find Cat King to discuss investment ns and open a franchise, from two shops to four and four to eight, eight to 16 and go on to be a listedpany on the market, following which we can gather our finances to invest in stocks. With that, we can go on to invest innd and be listed on the market separately. By then, just the money from the dividends alone would make usugh our asses off.¡±

    ¡°With so much money, you can buy as much catmint as you wish.¡±

    Dust Ball¡¯s eyes glowed brightly as he heard this and replied, ¡°Although I don¡¯t really understand, but it sounds really amazing.¡±

    ¡°Of course,¡± Red Packet wanted to continue saying something, but all of a sudden a pair of big hands had already scooped him up. When he turned to look, it was Zhao Yao. ¡°Zhao Yao, what are you doing? I¡¯m still in the midst of discussing some big ns with Dust Ball?¡±

    ¡°Draw the reward lots with me.¡±

    Zhao Yao did not say anything else and brought Red Packet back to the Cat Ind with him as he prepared to start drawing the rewards.

    When he opened the rewards lottery page, it was yet another row of Dragon ying Saber, Paralysis Ring, Spicy Cat Strips, Meow Meow Woad Root, Cat Prince Costume many other equipment which appeared on the page. Of course, apart from these numerous different equipment, there were also 10 points, 50 points, 100 points, 500 points worth of experience points to be won on the page.

    ¡°If I¡¯m lucky, I would be able to draw some equipment from here, if I¡¯m not, then I¡¯ll only get the experience points.¡± Zhao Yao stared at the page before him. Although he did not know the function of these different equipment, he was sure that it would definitely be worth more than the experience points. He could gain experience points whenever he wanted, but these equipment could only be drawn from the rewards lottery.

    After preparing for a while, Zhao Yao tapped on the rewards lottery, and a golden ray of light wide enough to cover his shoulders shed out as it flipped across each of the equipment items and experience points listed, until it came to a slow stop at the end.

    ¡°The Cat Prince Costume!¡± Zhao Yao saw the image where the draw stopped at andughed in excitement.

    Out of all the equipment in the rewards, this Cat Prince Costume was one of the things he really wanted to get. Based on his experience with the Cat Princess¡¯ Little Dress which he had exchanged for in the diamond hall previously, this Cat Prince Costume might just be another item which would enable Zhao Yao to cast two powers at the same time while wearing it.

    ¡°My luck is pretty good, let me see how I can take this out.¡±

    After drawing the lot for the Cat Prince Costume, Zhao Yao saw that at the bottom of the rewards lottery page, an image which looked exactly like the Cat Prince Costume popped up. Zhao Yao tried to focus on the image to retrieve it from the page.

    But at the next moment, his face stiffened as he realized, ¡°D*mn it, it¡¯s actually the fragments of the Cat Prince Costume?¡±

    As he sensed the message that came up from the image, Zhao Yao¡¯s face turned really ck.

    Fragments of the Cat Prince Costume (1/80)

    ¡°You actually yed this fragments trick on me? Isn¡¯t this the favourite routine of mobile phone games that usually rip people¡¯s money? Does this mean that I subconsciously like these things?¡±

    Nheless, once the image of the fragments appeared, Zhao Yao knew that this rewards lottery system was not that simple. If the Cat Prince Costume required 80 fragments, the difficulty of drawing those fragments increased proportionately as well.

    However, the Cat Princess¡¯ Little Dress can be acquired with 5 diamonds, and Zhao Yao could get 2 diamonds every day with thepletion of his daily mission to take care of the supercats, which meant that it was way more difficult to acquire the Cat Prince Costumepared to the Cat Princess Dress.

    ¡°The Cat Princess Dress can only exist for 10 minutes. Since the difficulty level of acquiring this Cat Prince Costume is so high, and can only be drawn from the rewards lottery, who knows, it might enable me to cast two powers at the same time while wearing it, and it might exist permanently as well.¡±

    At the thought of this, Zhao Yao became more excited and expectant of the Cat Prince Costume and quickly pressed on to draw from the rewards lottery for seven more times.

    The rewards from eight times of lottery draw include: Cat Prince Costume Fragments (2/80), three bags of Spicy Cat Strips, 550 experience points, and the Paralysis Ring.

    ¡°Eh?¡± Zhao Yao was stunned for a moment, ¡°Eh!!¡±

    ¡°The Paralysis Ring is actually not a fragment? Which means, aside from the fragments, there exists the possibility of drawing an equipment item in one try?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked back again and realized that among the various equipment still avable in the rewards list, there was no more Paralysis Ring.

    Zhao Yao could not wait as he focused his consciousness on the image of the Paralysis Ring, and the next moment, a ruby ring had materialized in his hand.

    A message was also transmitted to his brain as the ring appeared.

    ¡°The ruby stone on the ring can release a spot of red light, which has a strong attraction power.¡±

    ¡°D*mn it!¡± Zhao Yao threw the ruby ring on the beach and said angrily, ¡°Isn¡¯t this just some infrared light toy for cats! This can¡¯t paralyze anyone at all, how can it be called a Paralysis Ring!¡±

    As he stared at the description of the ring he became even more angry, but after thinking about it, it was still an item that he had spent much effort to draw out, hence Zhao Yao still went to retrieve the Paralysis Ring.

    As he thought about it, Zhao Yao wore the Paralysis Ring on his finger and thought to himself, ¡°How do I activate this? How does it light up?¡±

    Just as he was thinking of this, the ruby on the Paralysis Ring shed red and aimed at the beach, where another spot of red light appeared.

    ¡°D*mn... This is exactly the same as infrared light, so tell me, why you deserve to be called a Paralysis Ring?¡±

    In the next moment, an agitated man¡¯s voice was heard saying from the Paralysis Ring, ¡°Paralyze! Paralyze! Paralyze! Paralyze! Para-! Para-! Para-!¡±

    Zhao Yao: ¡°... the heck, they actually used my voice?¡±

    At this moment Zhao Yao quickly thought of stopping the ring in his head and the noise from the Paralysis Ring stopped immediately, and the infrared light spot disappeared as well.

    ¡°Hahahaha, Paralysis Ring right, so when you release the infrared light you use my voice to shout ¡®paralyze¡¯, very good, very good, props to you,¡± Zhao Yaoughed sarcastically at the ring on his hand and had decided to hide it somewhere and not use it for the rest of his life.

    Right at this moment, Red Packet who was by his side paced around the beach and asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, where did that red spot of light go just now? Where is it? Why is it missing?¡±

    Zhao Yao stared at Red Packet in astonishment, ¡°Supercats like to y with this too?¡± His impression of Matcha, Elizabeth and the other supercats was that they did not care much about infrared light.

    However, as he continued to experiment with it for a few times, Zhao Yao discovered that this red light had a strong attraction power for supercats, and as he watched Red Packet chasing the infrared spot around the beach non-stop, Zhao Yao thought, ¡°It actually has such a power of attraction? Even supercats can¡¯t avoid it?¡±

    Hence Zhao Yao returned to the extradimensional belly, and with the Paralysis Ring in his hand he shouted, ¡°Para-! Para-!¡± A ray of infrared light spot appeared on the ceiling of the extradimensional belly, and hundreds of supercats mobilised in an instant.

    Bang! An explosion was heard, as Sphynx cat was the first to rush to the spot where the infrared light was, following which, many other supercats rushed over to the red spot of light as well.

    As Zhao Yao observed the scene, even Matsuo and Faceless (leader of the Mao Gang) had rushed towards the infrared spot and were attracted to it.

    Looking at the people and cats gathered and running around that infrared light spot, Zhao Yao¡¯s lips curved into a smile, but as he heard the shouts continuing from the Paralysis Ring, he could not help furrowing his eyebrows again.

    <h4>Chapter 590: Cat Latiao</h4>

    After verifying that the Paralysis Ring was not as useless as he thought it was, he continued to experiment with it. He found out that the redser beam shot out by the Paralysis Ring could attract humans and cat but, not the holder of the ring.

    Hence, if someone else uses the ring, Zhao Yao would also be attracted to the redser beam.

    Furthermore, the attraction of the redser beam was not longsting. It¡¯s attraction fell with time.

    Zhao Yao tried it on Sphynx cat, he realised that the redser beam could only catch Sphynx cat¡¯s attention for one minute..

    The Paralysis Ring had to be used half an hourter for Sphynx cat to be attracted to the redser beam again.

    ¡°So thisst for one minute and cool-down for half an hour? It¡¯s not bad.¡± Zhao Yao nodded satisfyingly. This Paralysis Ring was more useful than he thought.

    Then he looked at the other prize he had won, Cat Latiao.

    After looking at the Luck Draw page, Zhao Yao realised that the Cat Latiao was unlike the Paralysis Ring. The Paralysis Ring could only be redeemed once, however, the Cat Latiao was avable for repeated redemptions.

    He concentrated his attention on the image of the Cat Latiao and the next moment, there was a pack of Cat Latiao in his hands and a series of information about the Cat Latiao in his mind.

    ¡°Cat Latiao is a kind of cat food that is made up of a mysterious ingredient. Upon consumption, one can obtain amazing powers.¡±

    ¡°The information is as good as useless.¡± Zhao Yao looked at Ares who was passing by, carried him up and stuffed a Latiao into Ares¡¯s mouth. Since he redeemed three packs of Latiao and one packet has 10tiao in it, It didn¡¯t matter if he just used one.

    The instant Ares ate the Cat Latiao, white smoke exploded from him. When the white smoke cleared, Ares had disappeared. In his ce was a golden colored longsword. Gxies and stars were craved on one side of the de, mountain and trees were craved on the other. There were also agricultural knowledge on one side of the hilt and the art of warring on the other.

    The longsword gave out a menacing aura.

    ¡± It¡¯s so cool.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up upon seeing the sword. He picked up the longsword and there was a strong power radiating out from the sword.

    Zhao Yao could tell that the power radiating out from the longsword was the Deflective Field.

    Then, he tried to control this power. The radiation got stronger and stronger till it turn into several golden mes and exploded in the air.

    ¡± It is the enhanced Deflective Field.¡± Zhao Yao got excited,¡± The Cat Latiao can turn the cats into weapons and allow me to use their powers anytime?¡±

    Zhao Yao wield the sword and a sword aura that was one meter wide and 10 meters long charged upwards. It hit the roof of the Extradimensional belly and it sounded as loud as millions of thunder acting up together.

    ¡± No, it can only take the form of Sword aura and not any other form. However, it is as strong as when it is enhanced.¡±

    ¡± What a great sword!¡¯ Zhao Yao touched the de happily. Then, a voice sounded from the sword,¡± Zhao Yao! What are you doing? Why have I turned into a sword? Turn me back!¡±

    Zhao Yao was smiling as he said,¡± What¡¯s wrong with being a sword? Look, now you are better looking and you are free from daily troubles like eating and going to the toilet. Isn¡¯t it great?¡±

    The golden longsword started vibrating violently, ¡± You jerk! Turn me back or I will kill you!¡±

    However, vibration looks like the only thing Ares was capable of doing for now. He couldn¡¯t even activate the Deflective Field.

    Zhao Yao was even more satisfied,¡± Not bad, not bad. It is such a rare sword. From today onwards, you shall be name Xuanyuan Sword.¡±

    As he was speaking, he wielded the sword a few more times with great satisfaction. Several golden sword aura that was 10 meters long charged upwards, bringing about menacing aura as it charged. It hit the edge of the Extradimensional belly and finally disappeared into the air.

    The raging sword aura gives Zhao Yao the impression that it could cut a building apart.

    ¡°The sword aura was as strong as the enhanced Deflective Field. Furthermore it was released in the form of sword aura, it¡¯s attacking power and cutting abilities are stronger.¡±

    Of course, Zhao Yao could not let Ares remain as a sword forever. About an hourter, Ares turned back into a cat himself.

    Ares was so angry that he started snarling at Zhao Yao. In the end, Zhao Yao finallyforted him with a 500 dors red packet.

    Themotion over at Ares¡¯s side had long caught the attention of the other supercats. Upon seeing that Ares had turned back, Matcha started shouting excitedly,¡± Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! I wan to try too!¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned but since he still had 29tiao left, he passed one to Matcha.

    After the white smoke cleared, a weapon was lying on the ground where Matcha was.

    Matcha,¡± Zhao Yao! How is it? Am I very good looking now?¡±

    Zhao Yao picked up the orange brick from the ground and hesitated,¡± ... it¡¯s not bad. Let me try your powers.¡±

    After some consideration, Zhao Yao picked up the brick and threw it towards Ares who was stillining.

    Ahh!

    As Ares shouted in pain, the world came to a stop.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up and started walking around in the halted world. Immediately, he realized that this was the same effects as the enhanced time stopping effects.

    After the time resumed, Ares raged,¡± Zhao Yao, What are you...¡±

    Zhao Yao threw the brick again. But, this time, it was stopped by Ares¡¯s Deflective Field.

    ¡± Time didn¡¯t freeze? So I still have to abide by the cool down rules?¡±

    After a series of experiment, Zhao Yao was clear about the effects of the brick. Basically, there was hardly any difference from the enhanced Time Freeze powers from Matcha. The only difference was that the brick had to hit someone to be activated.

    The brick started vibrating,¡± Zhao Yao! Give me a name too! I want a name as impressive as Xuanyuan sword.¡±

    Zhao Yao touched his chin and said,¡± Although you are powerful, looks harmless and can kill people unexpectedly. But,pared to the legendary ultimate killing weapon, Deadly 3000, you are still a bit weak. Lets name you, Deadly800.¡±

    Zhao Yao muttered in his mind to cancel the effects and Matcha turned back into a cat.

    ¡± This Cat Latiao is not bad.¡±

    After experimenting the Cat Latiao and Paralysis Ring, Zhao Yao returned to Cat Ind and ced his attention on the other ring.

    It was Kaede Hattori¡¯s engagement ring that had Meteorite Fragments on it. Zhao Yao plucked out the Meteorite Fragments and held it in his hands. The next moment, he felt that the Meteorite Fragments had melted into liquid form and seeped into him.

    With the fusion of meteorite fragments, Zhao Yao looked at the mission panel, and the integration progress of the meteorite fragments has reached 8%.

    Zhao Yao touched his chin and thought, ¡°It¡¯s only at 8%. It seems that I will have to find more Americans if I want more pieces of meteorite fragments.¡±

    However, the trip to Japan had been too exhausting and so Zhao Yao nned to take a break first beforeing up with a solution again.

    ¡°Oh right, how is the issue with the God of Death? I specially helped Elizabeth gather experience to level up. Isn¡¯t all of these preparation just for fighting against the God of Death and his people?¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately opened the cat and realized that ¡®tooth¡¯ has indeed became low-key recently. The entire South Supernatural realm was calm and there was no major events taking ce.

    And so, in the next two weeks, Zhao Yao was so free that he spend his time leisurely and he was intending to fill up his experience bar before finding a way to get more prizes.

    ...

    In the meantime, a vi in the suburbs of Jianghai district.

    Using the power up ability,the Explosive man, who once participated in the Cat Kingpetition with Zhao Yao, was ying games.

    Suddenly, he heard the door open downstairs. He frowned and yelled,¡±Ah Zhen,is that you? Didn¡¯t you go to work? Why are you back?¡±

    However,there was no response. Feeling that something was wrong, the Explosive man stood up and walked downstairs.

    He saw a middle-aged man sitting on his sofa, smoking cigar puffs by puffs.

    Upon seeing the Explosive man walk down, the middle-age man looked up and took a nce at him:¡±Lang Gou, is he the one?¡±

    A young man in a flower shirt and a mushroom head walked out of the kitchen while holding a cake and said, ¡°Yes, it is him. This cheese cake is not bad, do you want a piece?¡±

    ¡°Stop tempting me. Don¡¯t you know that I have diabetes and high blood pressure?¡±

    Looking at the two of them who were chatting so happily and was sofortable in his house, the Explosive man narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, ¡°Who are you two and what do you want?¡±

    The middle-aged man¡¯s mouth tuned into a cruel smirk: ¡°Explosive man, you participated in the Cat Kingpetition in Jianghai a few months ago right? We have some questions for you.¡± As he spoke, he lifted his foot and ced it on the low cab in the living room.

    Looking at the muddy boots resting on top of his clean low cab, a green vein popped up on Explosive man¡¯s forehead: ¡°I don¡¯t care about who you are and what you want to do. But I do know that I am very angry now.¡±

    As he spoke, the air around him started to make continuous sizzling sound. It was the air exploding lightly around him.

    ¡± I have met a lot of dregs like you and I have many different ways to deal with people like you.¡± Explosive man raised his palms and gently held the air around the palms.¡±Now put my cake back, then wipe the low cab and clean the floor. Then perhaps, I will let you all leave.¡±

    Upon hearing, Explosive man¡¯s words, the middle-aged man and Lang Gouughed.

    The next moment, the Explosive man felt a sharp pain in his chest and cried out in pain. A male voice sounded, beside his ear, blowing into his chest like the cold wind.

    ¡°Hush.¡± Midnight straightened his finger and did a hushing gesture, saying lightly, ¡°Rx a little, Huangjian (explosive man¡¯s real name), do not be afraid, we do not kill people without a reason.¡±

    Explosive man forced himself to turn around and saw that a blur figure was already standing behind him. The opponent¡¯s hand passed through his chest directly and gripped his heart tightly.

    Midnight spoke near his ears and said, ¡°Tell me everything that you know about the headless horseman.¡±

    Explosive man sneered and the air around him began to seethe. A strong explosion was about to happen.

    Midnight¡¯s face turned cold and his hand tighten his grip. Explosive man, whose heart was gripped tightly, let out a cry of pain and fell to the ground. The air around him once again quietened down.

    ¡°Why do you need to be so agitated?¡± Midnight continued: ¡°We just wanted to have a nice conversation with you.¡±

    After a while, the middle-aged man took out a small notebook and crossed out Explosive man¡¯s name silently. ¡°It seems like he doesn¡¯t know too much either. The identity of the headless horseman is indeed very secretive. Let me see which one is next now.¡±

    On the notebook were the names of about fifty to sixty people and about seven and eight names were already crossed out. In thest few rows of names, the name Xiao Shiyu was present.

    ...

    Half an hourter, more than ten police cars arrived at the location of the vi.

    Lin Chen walked into the vi, nced at the half-eaten cake and frowned.

    ¡°How is Huangjian?¡±

    The chubby boy at the side said,¡±He is suffering from severe internal bleeding and is still in aa in the ICU. This is already the seventh case this month. These people are way too arrogant.¡±

    Lin Chen took a nce at the dent on the sofa, the footprint on the low cab and shook his head: ¡°They are very confident.¡± He knelt down and looked at the footprint on the low cab saying, ¡°They totally do not care if we have discovered them or not.¡±

    ¡°Have you found themon trait among the victims?¡±

    ¡°As of now, not yet.¡± the Chubby boy shrugged his shoulders and said:¡±Does all the patients being ina and unable to make a statement count?¡±

    Lin Chen frown and asked,¡± Do you think that they are looking for something?¡±

    ¡°Looking for something?¡±

    Lin Chen nodded, ¡°There must be some clues that we haven¡¯t found. We must stop following behind them and instead think of ways to get ahead of them to stop them.¡± Lin Chen rubbed his chin and said,¡± Give me a copy of all the detailed information on the victims.¡±

    ...

    On the other hand, in the green belt of the third Huatien vige.

    A one-eyed cat slowly walked out of the shadows and looked at Dust Ball and Fish Ball. He frowned and said, ¡°You arete.¡± Following behind him were approximately ten supercats who have different colors and patterns on their fur.

    Looking at them, Fish Ball smiled and said, ¡°well quality goods are always worth the wait, aren¡¯t they?¡± As he spoke he pointed to Dust Ball: ¡°This is a poison expert. She is a friend that I met in Thand and she has many imported goods.¡±

    The one-eyed cat hesitated, ¡°a Thand cat?¡±

    ¡°Sawadikap.¡± Dust Ball nodded and said, ¡°we have a stable supply of goods abroad, and we guarantee that the goods you receive would be better than the other parts of Southeast Asia and the price would also be cheaper by 20%. With our goods, no one in the entire Jianghai canpete with you.¡±

    The pupils of the one-eyed cat slowly contracted:¡± How much goods do you have?¡±

    Dust Ball and Fish Ball looked at each other. Dust Ball said,¡±Five tonnes. We can provide you with five tonnes of goods annually as long as you can finish them.¡±

    ¡°Hahaha, you are afraid that I cannot finish them?¡± The one-eyed catughed coldy and said, ¡°I am not who I was two years ago. Now, I have awaken. Five tons? I can finish the fifty tonnes of goods from the ten Huatien Viges nearby. Just tell me where the transaction will take ce at.¡±

    Dust Ball stared at the eyes of the one-eyed cat and the one-eyed cat stared back unrelentingly.

    After a period of time, Dust Ball mumbled,¡± Pay a deposit of 500 dors. We will give you the first batch of goods.¡±

    ¡°Deal.¡±

    ¡°I only ept Alipay.¡±

    ¡°No problem.¡±

    Just then, a female voice could be heard from the building beside them:¡±Preserved Egg! It¡¯s time to eat!¡±

    All the cats in the surrounding area had already dispersed and are running towards the building where the voice came from.

    The one-eye cat ran towards the building too. Upon reaching the door he stopped and meowed:¡± Tomorrow, same time and location. Do not bete again.¡±

    After looking at the one eyed ck cat ¡® Pidan¡¯ and his gang leave, Dust Ball and Fish Ball looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief.

    Fish Ball licked his fur and talked to Dust Ball in their conscious,¡± What a scary aura. These guys who sell grass are all crazy fellows.¡±

    ¡± Useless.¡± Dust Ball sniggered,¡± What are you scared of? We are the ones with the stuff, they should be begging us.¡±

    ¡± That is Pidan!¡± Fish Ball eximed,¡± He is the strongest supercats from the entire Huatian Vige One to Vige Ten. I heard that he once ate dog meat.¡±

    ¡± What?¡± Dust Ball lowered his voice,¡± So fierce?¡±

    ¡± Of course, all the catmint within these five kilometers has to go through him.¡± Fish Ball whispered,¡± Did you notice that Pidan only has one eye left?¡±

    Dust Ball asked,¡± How did he end like that?¡±

    Fish Ball shook his head in pity,¡± At that point of time, Pidan¡¯s powers had not been awakened. He fought with a Corgi from his area, he bit the Corgi till it never dared toe down his block and pee. However in that fight Pidan was also...¡±

    Dust Ball was shocked, ¡± He was blinded by the dog?¡±

    ¡± No, his eye is infected from ying too much World of Warcraft . The eye starts tearing the moment he opens it. In that fight, the corgi bit off a patch of fur from Pidan¡¯s head. Didn¡¯t you realise that Pidan¡¯s furN looks extra thin?¡±

    ¡± You damn cat.¡± Dust Ball pped Fish Ball on his head,¡± Where is the link between these two incidents?¡±

    The two cats were talking as they return to the Extradimensional belly. Red Packet had been waiting for them. When he saw the two cats, he immediately asked,¡± How is it? ¡±

    Fish Ball raised his paw and said,¡±Of course it is settled.¡±

    ¡± Yes! ¡± Red Packet raised his paws happily and thought to himself,¡± I knew it, I should use my power to earn money. Only then it showcases my luck.¡±

    However, Dust Ball cut in,¡± They want five tonnes annually, I can¡¯t handle that alone. What do I do now?¡±

    ¡°Just hire more cats.¡± Red Packet looked at the hundreds of cats in the Extradimensional belly andughed coldly,¡± With money hiring supercats is not an issue. If your nting associate do not have enough cats, start to hire them now. The Extradimensional belly has Light of Creation, you can harvest the catmints in one or two weeks time. Furthermore, the quality is a lot better than those outside. We just have to wait for money toe in¡±

    ¡± Huh?¡± just when Red Packet was halfway through his sentence, Zhao Yao poked his head in and asked,¡± What are you guys talking about? What money?¡±

    The three cats froze in their positions, Red Packet muttered,¡± Why does Zhao Yao appear so unexpectedly? I didn¡¯t even hear him walk over.¡±

    Dust Ball was thinking,¡± Oh my god, Zhao Yao would surely take all our catmint and money. Then, he will force us to continue to nt catmint and sell them for him.¡±

    Fish Ball was stunned,¡± Why is it Zhao Yao again? Damned it, did a cat betray us? I can¡¯t let Zhao Yao stop me from overtaking Jianghai Distinct. I should let Xiao Yu out to bite him.¡±

    After hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s question, all three cats had their own concerns. Red Packet was the first to react and told Zhao Yao,¡± It¡¯s nothing, you were mistaken Zhao Yao. We said we were losing money. We went for an online gambling and we lost money again.¡±

    ¡± Oh? Is it?¡± He looked at them suspicious.

    Fish Ball nodded his head vigorously,¡± Yeah that¡¯s right. Thest time you did not turn off yourputer, we saw an online gambling advertisement on your web page and went to gamble. But, we lost terribly.¡±

    Zhao Yao froze and asked immediately, ¡± When did the three of you see my web page?¡±

    Red Packet said,¡± It was that time when you secretly hid in the corner of the Extradimensional belly to use yourputer, then got bored and went to bath. That was the time we used yourputer.¡±

    Zhao Yao covered Red Packet¡¯s mouth and red at them,¡± How many times must I say? You are not allowed to use myputer without my permission. All of you sneaky cats, if you use myputer without my permission again, I will shave off all your fur.¡±

    As Zhao Yao walk away in exasperation and all three cats heaved a sigh of relief,¡± All is well. All is well.¡±

    Red Packet said,¡± Okay, Zhao Yao has not gotten suspicious yet. We need to find more cats to nt catmint quickly. We need to increase our production. With the catmint we harvest from the Extradimensional belly, soon, the entire Jianghai District have to ask us for catmints.¡±

    Zhao Yao was looking at the cats from afar, heughed coldly,¡± I knew that all of you would not answer me honestly.¡± Looking at the three cats, especially the fiery exmation mark on top of Dust Ball¡¯s head, Zhao Yao got excited.

    ¡± Fiery exmation marks again? Is it there¡¯s luck draw again?¡±

    The thought of lucky draw made him excited. However, judging by their looks, they didn¡¯t want to bring him along, nevertheless ask him for help. After some consideration,Zhao Yao decided to spy on them to see what they are up to.

    ...

    ¡°What? nt grass?¡± Elizabeth looked in the mirror and told Diana,¡± Can you help me fix the fur on my face? And, the fur on my paw is getting too long.¡±

    Ragdoll cat¡¯s fur grew pretty fast, the fur near the paw would even be long enough to cover paw pads. Hence, it gets dirty easily.

    Elizabeth used to be morezy in the past, but now, she has to do live stream everyday. Naturally, she would be more concerned about her looks.

    After speaking, Elizabeth held out her paw for Diana to trim. She looked at Dust Ball, Red Packet and Fish Ball and sneered,¡± I have no interest in nting grass. Cats from the cat cafe would not be involved in things like that.¡±

    ...

    ¡± nting grass?¡± Matcha was wearing a yellow construction hat, in front of him was a blueprint. He started shouting at Ares,¡± It¡¯s crooked! Ares be careful! If you break the wires, I will ask Zhao Yao to neuter you!¡±

    However, Ares¡¯s mind was somewhere else. All he could think of was,¡± Why does Sphnx want to sleep behind me recently?¡± He shook his head,¡± Anyways, I will use this renovation as an excuse and stay outside for a few days.¡±

    Matcha turned back and looked at Red Packet, Dust Ball and Fish Ball. He shook his head and said,¡± Can¡¯t you see that our construction site is so busy already? I have no spare time to help you nt grass. Our project is due in three months and that is Zhao Yao¡¯s birthday. This building is our gift for him.¡±

    Speaking of it, Matcha turned and shouted at his fellow cats,¡± Everyone work harder! Lets finish this level¡¯s water and electricity today. There will be meat for dinner!¡±

    Dust Ball, Red Packet and Fish Ball had no choice but to go look for other supercats.

    Red Packet, Dust Ball and Fish Ball looked for more supercats, but, most of them rejected the idea. They were not interested in nting catmint.

    Hence, Red Packet changed his strategy and finally hired approximately 20 cats to help them nt catmint.

    Standing in front of the catmint field, he looked at the supercats and said,¡± Everybody, the opportunity to get rich is right in front of us. When, all of you decide to join the sunshine catmint project, the hardest problem has already been solved. Ordinary people count on luck and wait for opportunities. Geniuses look for opportunities. But we, create opportunities.¡±

    As he spoke, Red Packet pointed at the catmint field behind him:¡± Jianghai district requires approximately 50 million tonnes of catmint annually.(All made up by Red Packet)

    Starting from the year before, the needs for catmint has grew drastically reaching twice its initiate amount now. As more cats awaken, more and more supercats need catmint to relief stress. Furthermore did you know that one in two cats loves catmint.¡±

    Cannon raised his paw and asked,¡± But, Red Packet...¡± After the Japan incident, he had followed Baiquan back to Jianghai district. After all, Zhao Yao had caused such a serious trouble in Japan. How could he continue to stay there?¡±

    ¡°Please address me as Teacher Red Packet. In our sunshine catmint project we do not discriminate anyone. As a senior, all of you an address me as Teacher Red Packet.¡±

    ¡°Teacher Red Packet.¡± Cannon rolled his eyes and asked hesitantly:¡±There are so many sources to buy catmint from. Why must others buy from us?¡±

    Dust Ball pointed at him and said,¡±Cannon, have you eaten the catmint we nted?¡±

    Cannon looked at the catmint field behind Dust Ball and shook his head:¡± I am not interested in catmint.¡±

    Looking at his look of disdain, Dust Ball threw a bag of processed catmint in front of him angrily:¡± Try it.¡±

    ¡°There is no need to.¡± Cannon shook his head:¡± I really have no interest in catmints.¡±

    Dust Ball mmed his paw in front of Cannon:¡± I ask you to try it!¡±

    Cannon shrugged his shoulders in dismay and opened the bag of catmint. He picked it up with his paw and sniffed it.

    The next moment, his eyes jerked open. Every fur on his body was standing, it was felt it like a star exploded in his body.

    Cannon took a deep breath and felt the catmint granules pour into his body like a cold current through his nose. He couldn¡¯t help but shudder.

    ¡°Catmint can do this?¡±

    Dust Ball who was at the side said proudly:¡± Humph, this is the catmint I nted myself. No other catmint in this world would be better than this. So, do you have any other questions?¡±

    Upon seeing Cannon nod, Red Packet continued enthusiastically:¡± It is not just about the quality of catmint. Our sunshine catmint project is unlike any other projects. Otherrgepanies spend billions of fund on television, on-line advertisement and celebrity endorsement.

    However, this is not the case in sunshine catmint project. The money we earn will all be distributed to each and everyone of you. By doing doing this, our profit at least tripled.¡±

    Cannon was bewildered:¡± Without advertisements how are we going to promote our catmint?¡¯

    ¡± We will advertise by word of mouth. We will let our customers sell our catmint for us! As long as they rmend our catmint to someone else, you will getmission. Think about it, who doesn¡¯t know someone who wants catmint? If each of you sell our catmint to three cats, then each of them sell to three more cats, our catmint would spread like a virus.¡±

    Red Packet eximed,¡± Every packet of catmint that gets sold, they will have to retrieve the catmint from you. All of you just need to sit at home , wait for themission and get sessful.¡±

    Zhao Yao, who was hiding in the distance, rolled his eyes:¡±Red Packet is trying to do multi-level marketing again?¡±

    In a distance, all the cats who heard Red Packet burst into a round of apuse.

    Dust Ball and Fish Ball looked at each other and saw a burning me in each others eyes:¡± Red Packet is a business genius. We are sure to seed.¡±

    On the other side, Zhao Yao and Roly Poly who were invisible, rolled their eyes continuously. Roly Poly patted Zhao Yao on his shoulder and said,¡± Zhao Yao do you need the Royal Cat Police Force to arrest them? ¡±

    Zhao Yao thought about it and looked at the fiery exmation mark on top of Dust Ball¡¯s head:¡± Let wait and see. If they only cheat money from their fellow cats, it is not considered illegal.¡±

    Roly Poly:¡±? ? ?¡±

    On the the hand, after Red Packet¡¯s speech, the cats were all very eager to get started.

    Red Packet continued and said,¡± We have everything prepared, we have a business route, we have manufacturing process and we have the best sales person. Now, we just have to nt the catmint and we will be the decision maker for all the supercats, the elites in the industry and the leader of this social revolution.¡±

    Looking at the group of enthusiastic cats nting the catmint, Zhao Yao took out his phone and text Dust Ball,¡± Dust Ball I heard that the ntation department was hiring, do you still need help?¡±

    ¡°No it¡¯s okay. We can handle this ourselves. We will give let you taste the new catmints soon.¡±

    Zhao Yao snorted. At this moment, Xiaoyu sent him a message.

    ¡°Zhao Yao! What did you feed Noodle! I washed his mouth ten times already but, it still smells!¡±

    Zhao Yao:¡±? ? ?¡±

    Xiaoyu:¡± Stop pretending! Noodle told me everything! It was you who fed him all the weird food.¡±

    ¡± Stupid dog.¡± Zhao Yao clenched his teeth:¡± You want to y with me?¡± Zhao Yaoughed coldly and started flipping through his album. He soon found the picture that was taken at the US military base. Till today, he still couldn¡¯t look at this picture straight in the eye.

    In Xiaoyu¡¯s house.

    When Xiaoyu saw the photograph she screamed,¡± Ahhh!¡±

    Upon hearing Xiaoyu scream, Noodle rushed over and guard in front of Xiaoyu.

    ¡°Noodle!¡± Who knew the next moment, Xiaoyu kicked Noodle from the back and shouted,¡± Get out!¡± Her mind kept reying the contents of the photograph that she just saw. It was Noodle hugging and licking a cat whose entire body was filled with*** .

    Chills went down Xiaoyu¡¯s spine as she recalled that Noodles had just licked her.

    ¡°This is so disgusting! Noodle who did you learn this from? Is it Fish Ball?¡±

    ¡°From today, you are no longer allowed in my room. Go bath now!¡±

    Wu~~~~ a pitiful howl could be hearding from the bathroom.

    After confirming that Dust Ball and her gang are indeed nting catmint, Zhao Yao left them alone. Before he left, he ordered Roly Poly to continue to observe them.

    The next night, Zhao Yao was ying with his newly downloaded game. Roly Poly sneaked to his side and said,¡± Zhao Yao, Dust Ball and her gang are up to something new.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up:¡± Let¡¯s go!¡±

    The next moment, a human and cat both disappeared into the thin air and went towards Dust Ball¡¯s directions.

    Zhao Yao followed Dust Ball, Red Packet and Fish Ball all the way through the dimension door to the cat cafe. He watch them run towards Xiaoyu¡¯s house then rushed towards the area where Preserved Egg stayed.

    However this time it was not Preserved Egg who hosted them. It was the other ck cat under him. Behind the ck cat was three other ck cats and all of them were big, tall and strong. For ordinary cats, they looked like someone never to mess with.

    Fish Ball walked up to them with a smile and said,¡± Brother Yadan, where is Preserved Egg? We brought the first batch of goods that weighs 100kg.¡±

    Yadan looked at them coldly:¡±Our boss is unsatisfied with your goods. He doesn¡¯t want it anymore.¡±

    Upon hearing this, Fish Ball panicked:¡± Unsatisfied? What is Preserved Egg unsatisfied with? In the entire Jianghai district, our goods are the cheapest.¡±

    ¡°It has nothing got to do with the price. The quality of your goods is lower than the other supplier¡¯s goods. Hence, Boss has decided to buy the goods from the other suppler.¡±

    Dust Ball was unconvinced:¡± How can it be? The quality of our catmint is the best in the entire world. It is impossible that there are better quality catmints.¡±

    Looking at his agitated state, the ck cats behind Yadan walked up and stood in front of Dust Ball like two tall mountains.

    Yadan said coldly:¡± That is enough, kid. Our boss don¡¯t want your catmint anymore. Any moreins and you will be beaten up.¡±

    Dust Ball wanted to initiate the fight immediately but Red Packet stopped him. The ck cats walked away and Dust Ball was annoyed:¡± Red Packet, why did you stop me?¡±

    ¡°Even if you fight them, it does not solve the issue. It only ends all the possibilities of us ever cooperating again.¡± Red Packet exined,¡± As for the catmint that is of better quality then ours, aren¡¯t you curious ?¡±

    Speaking of it, Dust Ball¡¯s eyes lit up with reflected yellow light:¡± It is impossible that there is catmint that is of better quality than ours. You can question my abilities but you can not question the quality of our catmint.¡±

    Red Packet rubbed his head and exined,¡± I am not saying that you are inferior, I¡¯m just trying to say that there must be something we don¡¯t know. We need to investigate this.¡±

    ...

    On the other hand, in the basement of the district. Preserved Egg licked the catmint on the floor crazily :¡± Oh my god! This catmint is so awesome! ¡±

    He looked up eagerly and asked the white cat in front of him:¡± How much goods do you have? I¡¯ll buy all of them.¡±

    White cat smiled and said,¡± We can sell you our goods but you have to agree to a few of our conditions.¡±

    ¡± Speak! The goods are splendid, I would agree to any conditions.¡±

    White cat spoke calmly:¡± First, we have to be your only supplier. Then, we want to have a share in the running and sales of your business.¡±

    The ck cat, who was the side, stood up:¡± You guys are asking for too much, you are not the only supplier avable. Why don¡¯t you ask around and see who is in charge for Huatien vige one to ten.¡±

    The other ck cat growled,¡± You want a share? Young cat, we need to do things one at a time. By being too ambitious you may get yourself into trouble.¡±

    Another ck cat spoke up,¡± We worked so hard to get to where we are today. You just came and you expect to get a share?There is no such logic in this world, especially when we have so many cats under us.¡±

    All the cats were against the idea. However, Preserved Egg looked at the catmint and said,¡± Being the only supplier is not a problem. We have rejected all the suppliers before you. But, we will need to reconsider the issue regarding the shares.¡±

    ¡± I will give you some time to reconsider.¡± White cat continued and said,¡± The second condition is that I want you to help me collect information regarding the headless horseman.¡±

    ¡± The headless horseman?!¡±

    The four words were like magic. It made all the cats who were present take a deep breathe uniformly.

    ¡± Why do you want to find out more about the headless horseman?¡±

    ¡± Are you an enemy of the headless horseman? Then, we shall not cooperate. Do not try and drag us into this.¡±

    ¡± I heard that the headless horseman has to eat a cat everyday and consumes cat blood regrly.¡±

    ¡± I saw on the cat forum that the supercats in Jianghai University was taken away by the headless horseman. Now, they have to bath everyday.¡±

    ¡± That is so scary! It is terrifying! He is a monster who abuse cats.¡±

    ¡± The previous time, Haoge the cat next door met the headless horseman. Hemented that the weather was hot and all his fur was shaved. Till now, his fur still has not grown out. I heard that even his wife and his kids could not recognize him.¡±

    ¡± What a monster.¡±

    Upon hearing the chatter from the cats, Preserved Egg shouted,¡± Will all of you shut up. We are just collecting information, what can he do to us?¡±

    Preserved Egg couldn¡¯t resist the temptation and sucked up another mouthful of catmint . He shuddered and he was overjoyed:¡± This catmint is so different from any other catmint. It is not just a ordinary catmint, this catmint is really addictive. I¡¯m sure that after the supercats try this, they will never be able to do without it...¡±

    Preserved Egg looked at the white cat and said,¡± It¡¯s a deal. We will help you.¡±

    Shortly after, the white cat was escorted out by a few ck cats. Once the white cat was out, the cat started texting:¡± Old K? All is settled at Huatien vige. They will start selling our catmint from tomorrow onwards...¡±

    In the greenbelt that was not far away, three cats were staring at the white cat.

    Red Packet whispered,¡± It should be her. Fish Ball you are more familiar with this ce. Have you see this cat before?¡±

    Fish Ball stared at the white cat in a distance and thought to himself:¡± Long fur and nice ass, this girl is hot.¡± Upon hearing Red Packet¡¯s question, he answered immediately:¡± No, I have not tried her. Er, I mean, no I have not seen her.¡±

    Dust Ball was in disbelief:¡± So she is the one who has better catmint than me?¡±

    Red Packet saw that the white cat was ready to go and immediately said,¡± Let¡¯s follow her.¡±

    About 50 meters behind them, Zhao Yao was spying on them from a tree branch while he carried Roly Poly on his back.

    ¡°So they were trying to sell catmint?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up:¡± But it looks like they have encountered some difficulties. I guess Dust Ball¡¯s mission has something to do with this.¡±

    Thinking of this, Zhao Yao smiled and continued to follow them.

    Red Packet, Dust Ball and Fish Ball followed the white cat all the way till they reached a foreign district. They watch the white cat run into her house in an underground garage. The three cats looked at each other with dismay.

    ¡± What do we do now?¡± Dust Ball asked,¡± She doesn¡¯t look like she nted the catmints herself.¡±

    ¡± I¡¯m afraid she may only be a middle person.¡± Red Packet started pondering,¡± We need find out who is providing the catmints.¡±

    Dust Ball frowned:¡± How are we going to find out? Keep following her? That¡¯s such a waste of time. We are cats, every minute that pass is five minutes gone for us.¡±

    Just when Dust Ball and Red Packet were out of ideas, Fish Ball who was at the side, coughed. He stood up and said proudly:¡± It is my turn to shine.¡±`

    Looking at Red Packet and Dust Ball¡¯s puzzled looks, Fish Ball grunted,¡± There is no female cat on this earth that I cannot handle. Give me five minutes and I guarantee that I can find out whatever you want to know.¡±

    Dust Ball looked at Fish Ball in disgust but Red Packet¡¯s eyes lit up:¡±Fish Ball, are you sure?¡±

    ¡± Do not call me Fish Ball. Call me Fish Ball the Master of picking up girls or Fish God .¡±

    As he was speaking, Fish Ball confidently walked out.

    In Dust Ball¡¯s disgust and Red Packet¡¯s anticipation, soon, there was amotion in the cat house.

    Red Packet was excited:¡± Did he seed? Is Fish Ball¡¯s ability picking up girls?¡±

    Dust Ball rolled her eyes:¡± Jerk.¡±

    In about a minute, Fish Ball walked out triumphantly.

    Red Packet asked,¡± Was it sessful? Who is providing her with the goods?¡±

    Fish Ball was a bit embarrassed and asked,¡± Do any of you have 500 dors?¡±

    Looking at the bewildered look of the two cats,Fish Ballughed at said,¡± So she licked my paw and said she needed to charge 1000 dors for this service. However because I was so handsome she will only ask for 500 from me. Furthermore if I pay there will be unexpected service.¡±

    Red Packet smacked Fish Ball¡¯s head:¡± You idiot, what did we ask you to go there for? To spend money? You didn¡¯t get any information and you are asking for 500 dors.¡±

    Fish Ball was annoyed:¡± It¡¯s called socializing. Which business doesn¡¯t need it? Furthermore how do you socialize without spending money? If you won¡¯t even spend 500 dors how do you expect to achieve sess.¡±

    As Red Packet was hesitating, Dust Ball rejected this idea with a disgusted looked:¡± Don¡¯t give it to this jerk. Anyways there was no investment in this project yet, since there is no buyer now, let¡¯s just pull out of this.¡±

    Zhao Yao gave Dust Ball and Red Packet a fixed amount of pocket money regrly. Unlike them, Fish Ball was more pathetic. Xiaoyu¡¯s family do not give Fish Ball any amount of money, hence,he could only grab the red packets in the Wechat groups for daily expenses.¡±

    This time, Dust Ball and Red Packet only included him because he said the knew of a buyer.

    When the three supercats were in a disagreement and at a lost, Zhao Yao came up to them from behind :¡± It looks like they have encountered some difficulties. Now is the time for me to show up.¡±

    Thinking of this, Zhao Yao deactivated the illusion effects and Roly Poly¡¯s Invisible abilities. He appeared in front of the cats suddenly and asked in a low voice:¡¯ What are you guys doing?¡±

    The sudden emergence of Zhao Yao scared them so much that Dust Ball jumped up, Red Packet fainted on the spot and Fish Ball wanted to run off immediately. But Zhao Yao who had five cats abilities, grabbed onto his hind leg and dragged him back.

    Zhao Yao woke Red Packet up with a p. He looked at them and said,¡± Do three of you know how long you will be sentence to jail for selling catmint?¡±

    Fish Ball was stunned:¡± I can be sentenced for selling catmint?¡±

    Red Packet immediately said,¡± Don¡¯t be fooled by Zhao Yao. How can selling catmintnd you in jail.¡±

    ¡± Oh? Is it? ¡± Zhao Yaoughed coldly. He activated the Deflective Field and trapped the three cats:¡± The three of you are now under arrest. Get ready to stay in the jail till you die.¡±

    Red Packet started yelling,¡± This is illegal detention! I want to sue you!¡±

    ¡± Hahahaha. ¡± Zhao Yao looked at Red Packet menacingly and said,¡± Go ahead and sue. I am the country¡¯s undercover high-rank officer. Everyone in the public security department is under me. The prison chief of the Jianghai Super Prison is my good friend. You want to challenge me? Now I suspect the three of you of treason. You will have to take a trip with me.¡±

    In Fish Ball¡¯s eyes, Zhao Yao looked like a devil. He was frightened till he peed in public. He knelt down in his pee and plead,¡± Zhao Yao! I didn¡¯t sell any catmint. They lied to me, I thought they were selling cat grass that¡¯s why I helped them promote their goods.¡±

    Red Packet snapped,¡± Fool! Do you think by pleading Zhao Yao would let you off?¡±

    Zhao Yao rubbed Fish Ball¡¯s head and said,¡± Okay, since it is your first offense, I shall let you off.¡±

    ¡± My King! I am so sorry!¡± with a thump, Red Packet fell to the floor and rolled over to show his belly. He spoke with great sincerity,¡± My original n was to earn some money the hand everything up to you. Since now you have discovered my ns, I shall let you lead this project. You can order me to do anything and I would not even frown.¡±

    ¡°Damn it.¡± Dust Ball clenched her teeth and looked at Zhao Yao:¡± Although I did not do anything illegal but as long as Zhao Yao has got his eye on me, it is worse than breaking thew. This two cowards are unreliable. I can only depends on myself now.¡±

    Zhao Yao was the most concerned about Dust Ball. Looking at the fiery exmation mark on top of her head, he realized that she was not going to give in easily. He coughed and said,¡± Dust Ball your aplice have owned up. Do you still want to resist? Do you really think that I do not torture cats?¡±

    Dust Ball snarled and showed her teeth. She red at Zhao Yao with her eyes wide opened and eximed,¡± Supercats will never be ves.¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed coldly and took out a water gun from the Extradimensional Belly. He aimed at Dust Ball¡¯s paws and shot water at it.

    Meow! Dust Ball let out a shriek,¡± Even if I fall, there will be many more like me who will stand up against you! Zhao Yao, you can¡¯t suppress the supercats forever.¡±

    As she was speaking, Zhao Yao shot a jet of water into her mouth.

    Looking at her pathetic state, Red Packet and Fish Ball shivered at the side.

    Red Packet used his conscious tomunicate with Dust Ball:¡± Dust Ball just give in. You can pretend to agree first .¡±

    Fish Ball alsomunicated with Dust Ball privately:¡± Dust Ball at this rate, you are going to be drenched soon! Just plead for forgiveness .¡±

    Dust Ball heard them but chose to ignore. She red at Zhao Yao and said,¡± Zhao Yao I have tolerated you for very long. Today, I am going to stand up against you till the end. I am going to set an example for all the cats at home.¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed coldly:¡± Then you can give up your position as the president of the ntation department. Red Packet, from now on you are the president of the ntation department. Extradimensional Belly and every catmint field on the Cat Ind is now under your control.¡±

    On seeing Dust Ball¡¯s changing expression, Zhao Yao continued, ¡°Of course, if you are willing to apologize, you are still my agriculture minister. Myrge miles of fertile farnd will be managed by you.¡±

    After hearing his words, Dust Ball¡¯s face revealed signs of hesitation.

    Zhao Yao doubled up and said, ¡°Haven¡¯t you thought of selling catmint? If you apologize sincerely, I will help you sell the catmint and you do not have to pay me.¡±

    Red Packet was shocked. ¡°Zhao Yao, you do not want our money?¡±

    ¡°Nope.¡± Zhao Yao thought, ¡°I have billions sleeping in the bank, what I want now is not money.¡± He looked at the Burning Exmation Mark above Dust Ball¡¯s head. ¡°What I want is the chance for the lottery.¡±

    Upon seeing Dust Ball¡¯s hesitation, Zhao Yao looked at Roly Poly, who was on his shoulder, and chatted privately, ¡°Roly Poly, help me coax him.¡±

    Roly Poly looked at Dust Ball and said discreetly, ¡°Dust Ball, agree quickly. His mood isn¡¯t that great. If you do not agree, he might just burn your catmint farm.¡±

    Finally, Dust Ball yielded and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, will you help us sell the catmint?¡± Dust Ball thought, ¡°Although this fellow is unscrupulous, with his help, the sess rate will be much higher.¡±

    Zhao Yao squeezed his chin and said, ¡°Tell me what you know about the matter in its entirety.¡±

    After a long conversation, Zhao Yao looked at Dust Ball with satisfaction and said, ¡°Dust Ball, do you require my help?¡±

    Dust Ball was a cat that received missions before. After hearing Zhao Yao, she immediately reacted. It seemed like there was a mission disyed above her head, no wonder Zhao Yao had his eyes on her.

    Dust Ball sighed, no sure whether tough or cry. Upon recalling the mission targets who were being helped, she could not help shiver a bit and thought, ¡°Tell me earlier that you want the mission, I will haveplied earlier.¡±

    Hence, she quickly said, ¡°Yes, yes, yes, Zhao Yao, please help us sell the catmint.¡± b

    Mission Objective: Help Dust Ball control the entire Jianghai catmint market

    Reward: Every increment of 1% of market share in the catmint market allows a single lottery chance per month

    Mission Penalty: None

    After the mission had appeared, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes illuminated. ¡°Such fine ability that I have, this mission is generated very well, just what I needed the most.¡±

    Zhao Yao was full of enthusiasm after the appearance of the mission. He contemted on the intelligence provided by Dust Ball and the rest. He analyzed in his mind, ¡°The catmint in the Extradimensional Belly were grown using Light of Creation. In terms of taste, texture and nutrition, it was far superior than normal catmint. Logically, domination of the entire Jianghai market is just a matter of time.¡±

    ¡°However...¡± Zhao Yao turned his head and looked at that middleman cat again. ¡°Surprisingly, there is catmint that is superior than Dust Ball¡¯s catmint. The only possibility is that thepetitor has a supernatural ability to improve the catmint quality. It is better to figure the background of thepetitor.¡±

    At this thought, Zhao Yao said, ¡°Prepare yourselves, we shall look for that white cat to buy catmintter.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Fish Ball asked with bewilderment, ¡°We are supposed to sell catmint, aren¡¯t we? Why do we have to buy?¡±

    ¡°Fool.¡± Red Packet said, ¡°This move is called nothing ventured, nothing gained. We will pretend to buy catmint and find out the truth about thepetitor and the reason for the high quality catmint.¡±

    ¡°Not bad.¡± As Zhao Yao was speaking, he snapped his finger to activate the illusive magic, changing himself into an orange cat. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Remember, I am your boss, my family business is coal mining, very rich. Dust Ball, you are secretary. Fish Ball and Red Packet are both bodyguards. It was Preserved Egg who introduced us.¡±

    ...

    In a normal condominium, thendlord andndy were on the floor. They looked like they were sleeping.

    Midnight sat at the dining table by the side, furrowing his brows as he operated on theputer, ¡°Old K, any news about the headless horseman?¡±

    Old K was lying on the sofa, ying with his handphone. After hearing Midnight, he said, ¡°No, not that easy. The goods have just started selling and not really rolled out yet. Moreover, we are unable to find him, else we would not be making such a move.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Mushroom head youth took out a bottle of milk from the fridge. He drank as he spoke, ¡°If we knew that the headless horseman was so difficult to find, we should have sold all the goods via the shop channels once we arrived. Currently, we have no useful intelligence even after looking for so many people.¡±

    He abruptly furrowed his brows and looked at the milk that he held in his hands. ¡°Ah, it is chocte vour. Can¡¯t this family just buy in milk?¡±

    Midnight looked at the information recorded in theputer andpared to the name list booklet held in his hand. He said, ¡°Before headless horseman¡¯s debut, it is impossible not to have records.¡±

    Mushroom Head took a bottle of yoghurt from the fridge, nodded his head and said, ¡°Correct, the identity of the headless horseman must have been created after he had fully developed his ability. Before that, he definitely must have left some trails, just that nobody had connected the trails and the headless horseman together.¡±

    Midnight scanned line by line all the intelligence collected during this time. He slowly said, ¡°When capturing a murderer, the first crime scene is always the crux to solving the crime. The same applies to the headless horseman. Every time he appeared, no trails were left so it was hard to find any real evidence.

    If we can find the locations where he appeared the first few times, at that time, he would not be that mature and experienced, there would be more evidence left behind.¡±

    Mushroom Head said, ¡°You found it?¡±

    Midnight shook his head and said, ¡°The revealed abilities of Headless horseman include invisibility, illusive magic, teleporting and force field. His first famous location was at the cat kingpetition. A few weeks before thepetition, he had already appeared in the Jianghai city doing chivalrous acts. That was the actual time period that he first appeared in the supernatural realm.¡±

    He operated on theputer and opened up a few listings. ¡°Ipared God of Death¡¯spiled list of supercats and apostles in Jianghai. Under the columns with the four abilities, invisibility, illusive magic, teleporting and force field, there are two hundred and four targets. From that number, fourteen of them had not revealed their true identities. Out of this fourteen, eight of them had not emerged after the appearance of the headless horseman.¡±

    Midnight squinted his eyes and scanned through numerous photographs. ¡°Headless horseman could be one of these eight targets. However, they were not easy leads as their actual identities and locations were unknown. The informant that was rted to these eight targets...¡± As he was speaking, hepared the name list in his hand and circled a few names and then thought for a while. Then he circled Xiao Shiyu¡¯s name.

    Midnight thought, ¡°Xiao Shiyu was linked to a killer cat incident two years ago. She was rescued by a masked man who possessed teleporting and psychokinesis abilities. The masked man then appeared at the earthquake cat incident and showed a mastery of illusive magic. After that, Xiao Shiyu resigned from her job and went to work in a cat cafe.

    Teleporting, psychokinesis, illusive magic¡ªthese three abilities coincide with the abilities of the headless horseman. And resigning from a job to work in a cat cafe feels very strange.¡±

    Midnight furrowed his brows slightly. On this thought, he starred Xiao Shiyu¡¯s name to mark her importance.

    ¡°Hmmm?¡± Mushroom Head brightened his eyes and responded, ¡°This is getting easier? If we continue to look for the eight targets, perhaps one of them will be the headless horseman.¡±

    ¡°We only have a high chance.¡± Midnight calmly said. ¡°There is also the possibility that the headless horseman is not from Jianghai city, but from other cities or even other countries.¡±

    At this moment, Old K, who was lying on the bed, said, ¡°Haha, we have baited a big fish. We¡¯re going to earn a fortune this time.¡±

    Midnight turned his head and asked, ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°News from Big White, saying that a local tycoon wants to buy our goods.¡± Old K smiled and said, ¡°Nock of money. However, he wants to meet us to discuss and test the goods.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Mushroom Head smiled a little. ¡°How much can we earn?¡±

    Looking at hispanions¡¯ jubnt expressions, Midnight furrowed his brows and said, ¡°We are here solely for the headless horseman. Selling catmint is just a side job.¡±

    ¡°Got it, got it! Don¡¯t be so uptight Midnight.¡± Old K smiled and said, ¡°If we are unable to find the headless horseman from those eight targets, perhaps we¡¯ll have to turn to our catmint sale channels to find him? Maybe his cat consumes our catmint, hahaha.¡±

    Midnight furrowed his brows and said, ¡°Locate the few remaining informants first.¡± He pointed to the circled names in his notebook and said, ¡°We¡¯ll sell the goods next week.¡±

    Old K revealed his displeasure and cut back, ¡°Why? I can go discuss business now so it won¡¯t affect the headless horseman issue.¡±

    Midnight coldly said, ¡°Selling catmint is just a side hustle. If you leave, you create a possibility of exposing us.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t you trust me?¡± Old K stood up in anger. ¡°What if I want to sell now?¡±

    Midnight¡¯s body became translucent. ¡°Frankly speaking, I do not understand why the God of Death asked both of you to help me. I am able to solve the headless horseman issue by myself, without assistance from one or two people. This isn¡¯t a big deal for me.¡±

    Old K revealed a contrived smile. Green mist rose from the surface of his body. He grudgingly said, ¡°Midnight, are you defying orders from the God of Death?¡±

    Midnight¡¯s body hadpletely be transparent, then it disappeared. Mushroom Head immediately said, ¡°Hey, Midnight, do not act rashly. Old K, apologize quickly.¡±

    ¡°Why?¡± Old K braced himself and said, ¡°Midnight, if you dare make a move on me, we will die together.¡± Foul stenches came from Old K¡¯s body which had just turned green.

    Looking at the scene, Mushroom Head backed up a few steps and covered his nose. ¡°Are you all crazy? Stop this immediately.¡±

    The next instant, Old K let out a scream and covered his stomach, saying, ¡°Let go! Release your hand! Release your hand!¡±

    Pow! Following his scream, Old K felt acute pain in his stomach. He vomited a mouthful of blood. However, he was not finished. Heid on the ground coughing violently and then vomited gastric acid and fluid and even the dinner he had just had. Finally, he spat out a small stone from his stomach and felt much better.

    Looking at the stone in the pool of vomit, Old K was enraged. ¡°Despicable, this b*stard actually put a stone into my stomach.¡±

    Midnight¡¯s phantom figure appeared once again and he said coldly, ¡°Next week after we have located the eight suspects, we shall proceed with the catmint transaction. Of course, I will not stop Big White from preparing the meeting.¡±

    Mushroom Head nodded with a smile and said, ¡°I have no problem with that.¡±

    Old K suppressed his anger, nodded and said, ¡°I don¡¯t have an issue with it either.¡±

    ...

    As Midnight, Old K, and Lang Gou nned their next move, Red Packety on the floor with Zhao Yao, in the guise of an orange cat, sitting on top.

    The orange cat looked at Big White cat and said, ¡°Let me tell you, I don¡¯tck money. My parents are in the coal mining business. If I ask them for money, they won¡¯t ask what I n to spend it on even if it is hundreds and thousands of millions.¡±

    Having said that, he conveniently showed his bank bnce. ¡°See that? This card has two billion. My pocket money for this month.¡±

    Looking at the bnce, Big White cat opened his eyes wide. His gaze immediately changed.

    Fish Ball added, ¡°Brother Yao is superb.¡± He looked at Big White and said, ¡°Brother Yao came to Jianghai with the intention of doing big business here. If you sell some goods to us and build good rtions with Brother Yao, then you¡¯re luck will never end! I can guarantee that you will profit endlessly.¡±

    ¡°Fish kid, don¡¯t talk about money. That¡¯s rude.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°I came to Jianghai to make friends. As for money, it is a b*stard. Isn¡¯t making money easy?¡±

    Big White cat nodded his head,ughed loudly, and said, ¡°Brother Yao, do not worry. Our catmint will pass the strictest test. You will not regret buying from us.¡±

    Suddenly, his handphone vibrated, Big White cat unfolded it and looked at the screen. He furrowed his brows and said, ¡°Brother Yao, boss says that this week is no good. He can only meet next week. Before our next meeting, he is giving you a packet of catmint to test. This facilitates future discussions.¡±

    At this point, strong reluctance and hesitation shed over Big White¡¯s face. He struggled to take out a packet of catmint from the cat dwelling and reluctantly handed it to Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao said with disdain, ¡°Look at you, worried that I will cheat you of a packet of catmint? Tell you frankly, there are a lot of people who want to sell to me. You are not the only one. If Preserved Egg had not introduced us, I would not have looked for you.¡±

    Big White catughed and confidently said, ¡°Boss, bring that back home, have a taste and you will know. Our catmint will surely make any cat yearn for more.¡±

    After obtaining the catmint and having scheduled the next meeting, Zhao Yao brought his cats back happily.

    Zhao Yao looked at the catmint in his hands but could not feel anything special. He sniffed at it repeatedly. It was the same as normal catmint.

    Dust Ball was already eyeing the catmint eagerly and shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao, quick, let me have a taste. I want to see how good the catmint is.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head and said, ¡°There¡¯s no hurry. Let me check it first. This catmint is so highly rated, it may have special effects and is possibly rted to a supernatural power. Do not taste it.¡±

    After that, Zhao Yao left the Extradimensional Belly with the catmint.

    Dust Ball watched Zhao Yao walk away with yearning. Red Packet and Fish Ball left since there was nothing they needed to attend to.

    Fish Ball ran towards the building with eighteen floors. ¡°I am going to work on the construction site. ording to Matcha, they¡¯re having salmon for dinner.¡±

    Red Packet walked towards the catmint farm. ¡°I¡¯m leaving, Dust Ball. Store the catmint. With Zhao Yao¡¯s help, we definitely have a market.¡±

    Fish Ball went through the Dimension Portal and arrived at the construction site. He saw a lot of supercats working.

    He went forward and saw Caesar pushing a brick on the ground. He immediately asked him, ¡°Caesar, have you seen Matcha?¡±

    ¡°Looking for the foreman?¡± Caesar said. ¡°Probably on the rooftop.¡± After that, he started to work on the brick while heaving and puffing from the effort.

    Ares used his Deflective Field to lift around ten sacks of cement. He was passing by when he saw Caesar. An idea shed through his mind and he lifted the brick using the Deflective Field. Caesar only needed to exert a small force to push it.

    Caesar looked gratefully at Ares and said, ¡°Thank you, Ares.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t mention it! That¡¯s what good brothers do.¡± Ares nodded at Caesar and said, ¡°Let¡¯s have dinner tonight. Bring along Diana and Catherine. We¡¯ll eat together.¡±

    Caesar¡¯s face was rxed. He felt that a heavy weight was removed from his heart. Since I¡¯ve started working at the construction site moving bricks every day, my life has lost some of its meaning. At least I don¡¯t have to face Sphynx cat which is stressful. Speaking of which, it¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve seen Catherine. I wonder how the live streaming is going...

    Caesar smiled as he nodded his head. ¡°Good, I¡¯ll bring my wife and daughter along. We haven¡¯t had a meal together for a long time.¡±

    Caesar thought, ¡°Hmm, Ares has been working at the construction site with us daily with more than ten hours of overtime. He is so hardworking and barely has time to visit Sphynx cat. They¡¯re such good buddies. Sphynx cat has to work in the Extradimensional Belly for Zhao Yao every day. I¡¯ll invite Sphynx tonight. Ares will be very happy.¡±

    Ares and Caesar looked at each other and smiled. They both felt great for the rest of the day.

    After Fish Ball talked to Caesar, he walked up to the rooftop and saw Matcha pressing on a handphone and sniggering loudly.

    Fish Ball¡¯s eyes brightened. ¡°Huh? What are you looking at? He sneaked up to him carefully and saw that Matcha was posting something on the screen.

    He didn¡¯t know how Matcha had managed to obtain a handphone that could ess the cat web. Matcha rapidly typed, ¡°Shocking, the Headless Horseman did not even take mercy on a newborn cat. 99% of the cats do not know the cruel truth...¡±

    Matcha sniggered once again at the post¡¯s rapidly increasing replies.

    Fish Ball immediately shouted, ¡°Well Matcha, recently someone¡¯s been secretly smearing Zhao Yao on the inte. So it was you!¡±

    Matcha¡¯s body stiffened. He turned his head to look at Fish Ball and said, ¡°Assh*le! Fish Ball, if you rat me out, I will have to silence you.¡± He slid his hand across his throat.

    Fish Ball immediately threatened, ¡°Watch out for my posts on the cat web. They might expose your true colors.¡±

    Matcha smiled coldly, ¡°Silly Fish Ball, you do not even have a cat web phone, how will you post anything? The phone card that you are using is also from Xiaoyu.¡±

    Fish Ball¡¯s aura was quite deted when he threatened once again, ¡°Matcha if you give me a handphone and a phone card, I will not rat you out.¡±

    Matcha shook his head and said with scorn, ¡°You see. You will not make it big by working for a little student. You¡¯re so pathetic that you don¡¯t even own a decent handphone. We supercats are disgraced by you.¡±

    Fish Ball answered feebly, ¡°Not a little student, Xiaoyu is already a junior high school student.¡±

    Matcha said with disdain, ¡°Do you still want a handphone?¡±

    Both of Fish Ball¡¯s eyes lit up as he said, ¡°Are you giving me a handphone?¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°I will bring you to the Extradimensional Belly to get er. Zhao Yao ced a few cartons of handphones in the Extradimensional Belly. We can collect them anytime.¡±

    Fish Ball looked at Matcha with envy and said, ¡°Zhao Yao is so good to all of you.¡±

    Matcha put down his paw and said, ¡°Money does not matter. The old guy¡¯s pretty rich. Frankly speaking, Fish Ball, if you are willing to help me, you can help yourself to the handphone and such.¡±

    Fish Ball happily said, ¡°Really?¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡± Matcha¡¯s ordinary handphone started vibrating on the ground. He lowered his head to look at the screen and became immediately excited. Roly Poly had sent a few photographs to a group chat.

    The group¡¯s name was the Lilibet gentlemen society.

    The content of the photograph was a generous view of Elizabeth¡¯s backside.

    Roly Poly wrote below, ¡°The entire series of photos costs 200 dors. If you want to see them, do a direct transfer.¡±

    Matcha angrily said, ¡°This Roly Poly... his photographs are so expensive.¡±

    Fish Ball curiously asked, ¡°What group is that?¡±

    ¡°Roly Poly secretly set it up and thought I did not know about it.¡± Matcha said with envy, ¡°It is so easy to make money by with invisibility powers. If only my ability was invisibility as well.¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, Elizabeth, who was in the midst of live streaming, furrowed her brows after noticing ament. She was unhappy.

    ¡°Latest Lilibet photographs set is out! Add Wechat YYJ2000¡±

    Elizabeth hurriedly chatted telepathically with Diana, ¡°Diana, please ban this douchebag. Recently, there have been many disruptions like him while I¡¯m live streaming.¡±

    Roly Poly frowned. ¡°Hmm, banned again.¡± He looked at the group size and was delighted. ¡°The amount of people watching is prettyrge. I can earn quite a bit.¡±

    A guy in the group sent a private message to Roly Poly.

    Wash Cat King (ount ID of Cat King of the West) sent, ¡°Great God, I want the photographs.¡±

    After the message, 200 dors were transferred to Roly Poly.

    Roly Poly happily epted the money when Wash Cat King sent, ¡°Great God, do you have the cat litter Lilibet uses? I want to buy some.¡±

    ¡°This Otaku.¡± Roly Poly revealed an expression of disgust and rolled his eyeballs, thinking, ¡°Anyway, he is unable to recognize what she uses. I might as well sell him one that I have just used.¡±

    Roly Poly messaged, ¡°Yes.¡±

    At this moment, Zhao Yao imperceptibly appeared behind Roly Poly. ¡°Roly Poly, follow me. I need your help.¡±

    Roly Poly was brought to Cat Ind by Zhao Yao and they entered a small wooden house.

    In the house, Lucifer was tied up with some rope and hung from the air. He looked excited. Seeing Zhao Yao approach, he shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao, what are you going to do to me?¡±

    ¡°Are you nning onshing me with a whip? Or punching and kicking me?!¡± Lucifer¡¯s eyes lit up as he spoke, ¡°Let me tell you. No matter how much you torture me, I will not yield!¡±

    ¡°Come on, hit me! Hit me! Let me show you the strong willpower of supercats.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes, took out the catmint from Big White cat and brandished it in front of Lucifer. ¡°You will sniff this packet of catmint. Before that, I have to tell you a little about the situation first...¡±

    Zhao Yao exined where the catmint hade from and the possibility that it could have supernatural effects. Finally, he exined, ¡°I am choosing you because you have the strongest rapid regeneration ability and you are the only one with the most immunity. Even if there is poison in the packet of catmint, you will not die.¡±

    Initially, Lucifer thought Zhao Yao was trying to feed him catmint and was disappointed. However, when he heard where the catmint hade from, he became enthusiastic and said, ¡°Very good Zhao Yao, you want to poison me!¡±

    Lucifer said excitedly, ¡°Poison me. Even if you poison me with the rarest and most lethal kind, I will not break!¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed and said, ¡°Who wants you to break? I only want to test the effects of this packet of catmint.¡±

    Lucifer meowed as he shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao, are you threatening me? Meow, even if you threaten me, it is of no use. Even if you poison me and then beat me viciously after that, I will not surrender!¡±

    ¡°Nutcase.¡± Zhao Yao rolled his eyes, waved the catmint, and said, ¡°So you agree to sniff this packet of catmint?¡±

    ¡°That is too evil Zhao Yao, you¡¯re actually using a little innocent kitten to do experiments.¡± Lucifer licked his lips incessantly, looked at both Zhao Yao and the catmint and said, ¡°I am so angry, I hate you. If you have the guts, torture me to death, or I will never forgive you.¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed and thought, ¡°This cat is definitely crazy.¡±

    After some thought, under Lucifer¡¯s overjoyed gaze, he put the catmint in front of him and watched him sniff the catmint pellets one at a time.

    Once all the catmint was finished, Lucifer shuddered.

    Zhao Yao looked at him seriously and asked, ¡°How is it? What is so special about this catmint?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s very normal.¡± Lucifer said with disappointment, ¡°Not as good as the one nted by Dust Ball, the grassdy.¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and released Lucifer from the ropes. He turned to Roly Poly and said, ¡°Roly Poly, you will monitor Lucifer 24 hours a day for the next few days. If there are any strange reactions, inform me immediately.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Roly Poly nted his head and said dejectedly, ¡°I have to apany him?¡±

    Lucifer¡¯s breathing became heavier and he said, ¡°So you are stalking me... Zhao Yao and Roly Poly, both of you are too evil.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head, covered his forehead and said, ¡°Not stalking, I am imprisoning you here. If there are no side effects after a week, I will release you. During this time, Roly Poly, you are responsible for guarding him. Remember do not leave your post without permission. I will asionally video-chat with you to monitor Lucifer¡¯s condition.

    As for food and water, I will let Matsuo bring some over every day. If you are unable to stand it, tell me beforehand and I will arrange for another cat to take over.¡±

    Roly Poly sighed. What bad luck... I won¡¯t be able to keep watch on Matcha, Ares, and Airne. I will not be able to take Elizabeth¡¯s photographs as well? Well, there¡¯s arge number of cats in the Royal Cat Police Force, however, none of them can take excellent and highly-sought after photographs. I am the only exception. Well, it is a waste of my photographic skills to guard a silly cat.

    After Zhao Yao had locked the door, Roly Poly stood guard outside and Lucifer was imprisoned in the wooden house.

    ¡°Roly Poly! Quickly let me out!

    Even if you imprison me, it is of no use!

    ¡°An indomitable spirit lives in this tiny cat!¡±

    Listening to Lucifer¡¯s fervent ramblings, Roly Poly sighed with boredom. He opened up his handphone and intended to y games instead.

    The next moment, a message was received.

    Fish Ball had sent, ¡°Roly Poly, are you able to teach me photography?¡±

    Roly Poly frowned and replied, ¡°Photography is something youborer cats will never understand.¡±

    After Zhao Yao had settled the catmint issue, he returned to the cat caf¨¦. He intended to work and n his next move to dominate Jianghai¡¯s catmint market.

    ¡°I do not know the effects of Big White cat¡¯s catmint, so it won¡¯t be taken into ount for now. Instead, I will focus on gaining a greater share of the market.¡±

    ¡°Hmm, in today¡¯s world, volume is king, the greater the volume, the greater the control. I want to improve our catmint sales¡¯ volume, so I need to let all the supercats in Jianghai know about Dust Ball¡¯s catmint.¡±

    Zhao Yao typed the word advertising on theputer, rested his cheeks on his hand and thought, ¡°After advertising, strong effective supply channels are required. The four cat kings of Jianghai and the cat kings of Jianghai¡¯s gangs will be able to help me.¡±

    ¡°With this move, I will be able to take over the majority of the market share.

    As Zhao Yao was working out the details of his n, the bell in the cat caf¨¦ rang. Old K and Mushroom Head Lang Gou walked in.

    Xiao Shiyu immediately received both of them, though she found their gazes to be quite strange.

    Zhao Yao lifted his head to study the two men. He felt puzzled and thought, ¡°Such abination ising to the cat caf¨¦ to y with cats? Strange.¡±

    Elizabeth sat on a table in the middle of the cat caf¨¦. A female university student was feeding salmon pieces to her one mouthful at a time. Another female office worker at the side was holding her paw. The worker took out a pair of scissors and started cutting near the tender paw pads. She was helping Elizabeth trim her leg fur.

    Another female high school student wasbing Elizabeth¡¯s back and head. When she was extremelyfortable during thebing, Elizabeth would squint her eyes.

    When she saw the two men enter, Elizabeth looked at them with contempt and said, ¡°Two mening here to y? One is already fifty years old and does not even own a single cat. Wonder why they are in cat caf¨¦, tsk, tsk.¡±

    At this point, Diana sat down beside Elizabeth and said, ¡°Lizzie, Cat King of the North contacted me, saying that he wished to invite you to endorse his family¡¯s supernatural cat food.¡±

    ¡°Endorsement!¡± Elizabeth¡¯s eyes brightened. ¡°How much is he paying?¡±

    Diana said, ¡°The Cat King of the North says he will sponsor us a lifetime of free supernatural cat food.¡±

    ¡°Miser.¡± Elizabeth said with an face of disdain, ¡°Endorsement without paying a single cent? He thinks we are country bumpkins from the rural areas? Directly reject him.¡±

    Diana nodded his head and continued, ¡°The Cat King of the East also contacted us, saying that he would like you join his new supernatural live streaming tform.¡±

    ¡°Ah? Supercats also have live streaming tform?¡± Elizabeth rolled her eyeballs and nodded as she thought, ¡°I remember Zhao Yao said before that the Cat King of the East only had the elerated speed ability? And he a government cat, hence it is understandable that they are creating a supernatural cat live streaming tform.¡±

    In fact, with the development of the awakened supercats and increased participation rate in the societies, many supercats with various ID appeared on social mediaworks, live streaming, blogs and group messaging tforms.

    To tighten the control on these areas, the government created a supercats live stream tform. All supercats and apostles who would like to live stream supernatural ability and rted contents could only make use of this official tform. The normal tforms were only allowed to live stream ordinary contents.

    And this tform was obviously only essible via the cat web of the Cat King of the North.

    ¡°These humans are making thingsplicated.¡± Elizabeth tilted her head, thought for a while and said, ¡°Well, as long as it does not affect my live streaming at Douyu, opening another live stream on the supernatural tform is not a big deal.¡±

    At his time, Old K and Lang Gou walked to the front of Elizabeth¡¯s round table.

    Lang Gou looked like a normal mushroom head youth, nothing special and a harmless feeling.

    However, Old K looked more dark and vicious, exuding a feeling of unfriendliness.

    With the appearance of Old K, the fourdies at the caf¨¦ revealed faces of anxiety.

    Old K only widened his mouth and smiled, then looked Elizabeth and said,¡±Hey, mind if I carry this cat for a while?¡±

    The fourdies immediately formed a protective shield in front Elizabeth. Facing this dark, vicious looking stalwart guy in silence, their actions indicated their attitude.

    Old K revealed a grim smile and extended his hand towards the table to grab Elizabeth. At this time, Bai Quan blocked Old K with his hand and gently said, ¡°Apologies guest, these fourdies are currently ying with Elizabeth. You may want to y with other cats first. When they are done, you maye over.¡±

    Old K wanted to use his brute force to push away Bai Quan¡¯s palm. However upon exertion, he discovered that his arm was like a block of mountain¡ªimmovable.

    He immediately became aware that the waiter was quite strong, his body of fifty years was unable to pit against him.

    ¡°Haha.¡± Old K felt indignant from the Midnight incident and he was not feeling good. When he was being blocked by Bai Quan, his body surface immediately emitted imperceptible poison gas.

    Even if his heart was already harboring mes of anger, he would not directly make his move. Moreover, Elizabeth¡¯s Sound Field Therapy and Sixth Sense illusive magic had engulfed the entire cat caf¨¦.

    Everyone who came in would disy favorable disposition towards Elizabeth subconsciously. The same applied to Old K, who wanted to hug Elizabeth when he entered.

    As Old K was about to teach this waiter a lesson, Lang Gou who was behind him, patted his shoulder and said, ¡°Well, let it go, we are not here to create trouble, let¡¯s find other cats to y with.¡±

    Old K red viciously at Bai Quan, ¡°Be careful waiter, don¡¯t try to act tough.¡± After saying, he gave a forced smile and sat on a chair by the side.

    Bai Quan turned back his head and smiled towards the fourdies. ¡°Very sorry, apologies for the disruption of your meals.¡±

    The female university student patted her chest and said, ¡°Oh, that man looked so scary, thank goodness Bai Quan, you are here.¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes, Bai Quan, are you able to chase them out? Why allow such fierce people in the cat cafe.¡±

    Bai Quan gently smiled and said, ¡°That will not do. All whoe in are customers. No matter what kind of customers, we cat cafe will treat them with sincerity.¡±

    After the daily baptism of the Sound Field Therapy and the cultivation from Sphynx cat¡¯s training ability, Bai Quan had be a changed man. He was tall and slim but with a stalwart and muscr build. His temperament was also extraordinary and he had the potential of a handsome gentleman.

    The fourdies gazed at Bai Quan with signs of admiration.

    On the other hand, Old K and Lang Gou sat down and nced at each other. ¡°There is definitely a problem.¡±

    In the presence of the Sound Field Therapy, they both felt a sense offort. Hence they understood that there were supercats in this cat cafe.

    ording to King of Death¡¯stest intelligence, they knew that the owner of the cat cafe fought against the King of Death before. He exhibited Psychokinesis and Teleporting supernatural powers. Concluding with Midnight¡¯s analysis, they suspected that the owner of the cat cafe was masked man in the killer cat and earthquake cat incidents.

    Whether the masked man was the headless horseman would require them to personallye over and determine.

    Lang Gou scanned theyout of the cat cafe and discovered Zhao Yao hidden in a corner, operating theputer. ¡°That must be the cafe owner, I will chat with him.¡±

    Bai Quan arrived in front of Old K and asked, ¡°What drinks would both of you like?¡±

    Old K looked condescendingly at Bai Quan and coldly said, ¡°I do not like your service. Does the cafe have waitresses? Let her service me.¡±

    Bai Quan furrowed his brows and went to find Xiao Shiyu. After exining the situation, he reminded her, ¡°Approach me if there are problems, do not force yourself to do things that you are unwilling to do.¡±

    Xiao Shiyu nodded her head and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, this is not the first time I encounter difficult customers.¡± She smiled happily as she walked over. She looked at Old K and said, ¡°Greetings, what drinks do you like? I rmend thetest set meal for the spring season, very delicious and value for money.¡±

    Old K did not reply, his eyes ring at Xiao Shiyu, making her feel baffled. Then he slowly said, ¡°Any set meal will do, however this cafe is openly making use of supercats to make money, isn¡¯t there a problem?¡±

    On seeing the expression change in Xiao Shiyu, Old K smiled and said, ¡°Little friend, you are not the only one who has supercats in the world. By openly making use of supercats to make money, shall I say naive or foolish to you?¡±

    Xiao Shiyu asked in a serious tone, ¡°Are you an apostle?¡±

    ¡°Who knows.¡± Old K probed by asking, ¡°Without proper support, the supercats and apostles are unable to survive in this world. Interested to join us?¡±

    On hearing Old K¡¯s question, Xiao Shiyu furrowed her brows and probed by asking, ¡°Join you? Who are you?¡±

    Old Kughed, knocked on the table and said, ¡°You do not have to know who we are, you only need to know that our power is much greater than your imagination.¡±

    At this side, Old K was testing Xiao Shiyu, waiting for an opportunity to bring her out alone for questioning.

    On the other side, Mushroom Head Lang Gou sat down in front of Zhao Yao. He smiled merrily and said, ¡°Heard that you are the owner of this shop?¡±

    Zhao Yao lifted his head, looked at him with a pair of lifeless eyes and said, ¡°I am not receiving guests here, go y with the cats.¡± After saying, he ignored Lang Gou and focused on theputer screen before him.

    Lang Gou smiled and disregarded his impudence. He rested his chin on his hand and said, ¡°Heard that two years ago in Jianghai, there was a serial killer and a sharp decrease in people who maltreated cats.¡±

    Looking at Zhao Yao¡¯s indifference, Lang Gou slightly creased his brow and said, ¡°Heard that the police tracked this serial killer and discovered that he was a cat.¡±

    As Lang Gou spoke, he fixed his gaze firmly on Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes, as if he wanted to see the change in expression in the eyes.

    However, there were no changes in his eyes¡¯ expression, which was dull and lifeless. The eyes were fixated on theputer screen and the reflections on the eyes showed the colorful changes of theputer screen.

    Lang Gou continued and said, ¡°Heard that the police surrounded this cat but the cat had supernatural power. The police failed to capture the cat and had to depend on another person to apprehend this killer cat.¡±

    ¡°Cafe owner, have you heard of this incident before?¡±

    Looking at Zhao Yao¡¯s lifeless gaze, Lang Gou furrowed his brow and thought, ¡°No reaction at all? Even if it is normal person, there will be some reaction on hearing. This man is definitely suspect.¡±

    Zhao Yao was fixated on theputer screen, looking at Airne¡¯s message on Wechat.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, these are good stuff that I had found during this period.¡±

    Initially, Zhao Yao was dismissive. ¡°What kind of good stuff can a cat find.¡±

    Hence, he casually opened up a few inte links and his attention was fixated on what he saw.

    ¡°Hmm, so there are such websites in other countries? After not learning for a long time, one will be obsolete.¡± Zhao Yao was eagerly assimting the information on the websites. He was feeling surprised and thought, ¡°The Koreans are pretty good to have such live streaming websites too.¡±

    ¡°Huh? An ount ID required?¡±

    As Zhao Yao was feeling inconvenienced, Airne messaged again.

    ¡°This is the ount IDs that the royal cat guards had gathered over the past few weeks. All can be used.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes brightened immediately.

    Airne said, ¡°With the rapid change in the unstable international situation, we have to properly understand the survival conditions of our friendly countries and supercats. The inte research method has the best cost to performance ratio.¡±

    Zhao Yao was contemting.

    Zhao Yao was contemting.

    Zhao Yao affirmed Airne¡¯s idea.

    Zhao Yao used an ount ID.

    Zhao Yao felt happier.

    Airne looked at the smiley emoticon sent by Zhao Yao and decided to strike while the iron was hot. Ever since Matcha was being removed from the leadership position of the royal cat guards, he was temporarily taking over the post.

    However, he knew that his position was not stable, especially Matcha was now in charge of the high-profile construction site assignment. Hence he felt he had to curry Zhao Yao¡¯s favor and cater to his wishes, so as to consolidate his leadership position of the royal cat guards.

    Hence Airne messaged again, saying, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, after our research, we feel the necessity to establish a specialized task force in the royal cat guards, to process theplex information on the inte. Then we will submit the essence of our research to you for perusal.¡±

    Zhao Yao was contemting.

    Zhao Yao was contemting.

    Zhao Yao showed support for Airne¡¯s idea.

    Zhao Yao transferred 1000 dors to Airne.

    ¡°This money is considered the research funding for the task force.¡± Zhao Yao squinted his eyes and typed, ¡°The huge amount of information on the inte is too overwhelming for me, I am unable to look through all of them. I am depending on you to cote the information. Make this work Airne, I think very highly of you.¡±

    With the support of Zhao Yao, Airne¡¯s confidence was greatly boosted. ¡°Assignment will definitely bepleted.¡±

    Lang Gou, who was sitting opposite to Zhao Yao, found that thetter was totally indifferent to his words, hence he decided to use other methods to probe.

    He straightened his body, shifted slightly towards Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Cafe Owner, I have some business to discuss with you.¡± He looked at Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes while his body¡¯s supernatural ability was getting ready to activate. His ability did not have visible effects and imperceptible to normal people, hence he intended to use his ability directly.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s sharp sixth sense seemed to detect something, he lifted his head to look at Lang Gou and said, ¡°What are you doing?¡± He frowned as he continued, ¡°You better not antagonize me.¡±

    ¡°Very confident indeed. After defeating killer cat, Sun Meng and Nessie, anyone who did that would be very confident.¡± Lang Gou smiled as he said, ¡°You were like me before. When I first obtained my abilities, after defeating several strong opponents, I would think that I was the most special of all and the future was mine.¡±

    At this point, he sighed and said, ¡°However, someone taught me the cruel reality of the world.¡±

    In the next moment, Lang Gou¡¯s handphone rang. It was from Midnight.

    Midnight said, ¡°Withdraw your team immediately.¡±

    ¡°What? Why?¡±

    Midnight said, ¡°ording totest intelligence, this cafe is closely rted to higher echelons of the government. They possessed healing abilities that can cure illnesses of the leaders. The repercussion for antagonizing them is too great. Moreover...¡±

    At his point, Midnight paused while suppressing his exhration. He said, ¡°I have found the target.¡±

    On hearing this, Lang Gou nodded his head and kept quiet. He nced at Zhao Yao and thought, ¡°Lucky fellow.¡± He left without looking back.

    On the other side, Old K had also received Midnight¡¯s information. He nced at Xiao Shiyu with regret, settled his bill and left.

    As the two men left, Bai Quan walked to Zhao Yao¡¯s side and said, ¡°Boss, these two guys are apostles? Do you want...¡±

    ¡°Does not concern me. If there are issues, Xiao Shiyu will report to higher authorities.¡± Zhao Yao looked at both their heads and scanned the surrounding heads. Then he immediately focused on theputer again. These two fellows did not have missions and they are not mission targets. Not worth the effort to investigate them.

    Moreover, Xiao Shiyu was a member of the government. On meeting unidentified apostles, she would report to her superior.

    Disregarding the two suspicious characters, Zhao Yao contacted the Cat King of the North andmenced his ambitious catmint n.

    ¡°F*ck, a chance at the lottery only appears in this catmint mission. Whoever gets in my way shall die!!¡±

    Zhao Yao proposed his cat web publicity request to Cat King of the North. It was rejected straight away. The Cat King of the North had no time to do his own product advertisements, let alone other advertisements.

    ¡°Unless...¡± Cat King of the North proposed an unscrupulous deal. ¡°You let Elizabeth keep mepany for a night.¡±

    ¡°Sh*t.¡± Zhao Yao was furious. ¡°You want to take advantage of my cat? Stop dreaming.¡±

    Cat King of the North relented and said, ¡°Then let Lizzie endorse my cat food, is that good?¡±

    ¡°Endorsement?¡± Zhao Yaomunicated to Elizabeth, who was in the cafe, telepathically. He asked, ¡°Elizabeth, do you want to endorse the Cat King of the North?¡±

    Elizabeth immediately declined and said, ¡°No way, he¡¯s too obnoxious.¡±

    Zhao Yao coaxed, ¡°This is a good way to increase your poprity. On the cat web, there are lots of cat food advertisements by the Cat King of the North. If you be the official spokesperson, doesn¡¯t that mean that they are your advertisements as well?¡±

    Diana immediately persuaded, ¡°That makes sense Elizabeth. Recently our live stream poprity has reached its peak. We are going to need more channels to advertise on.¡±

    Elizabeth knitted her brows, feeling reluctant as she thought, ¡°What if the Cat King of the North harasses me, what shall I do?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will protect you.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°If he harasses you, I will castrate him. Yes, you can also help Dust Ball by endorsing her catmint. Hmm, we can also have a bundle sale with the supernatural cat food from Cat King of the North. I guarantee that you will be very popr.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Elizabeth opened her eyes, looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°I can be the most popr live streamer?¡±

    Mission: Elizabeth¡¯s Ambition

    Mission Objective: Let Elizabeth be Douyu¡¯s most popr broadcaster with over millions of followers

    Reward: 500 experience points

    Mission Penalty: None

    On seeing the appearance of a new mission, Zhao Yao epted without hesitation. ¡°Don¡¯t worry Elizabeth, even if I need to spend a lot of money, I will make you the most popr broadcaster on Douyu.¡±

    After thinking, Zhao Yao felt that Elizabeth¡¯s live streaming tform was an even better channel. He immediately opened Douyu and found Elizabeth¡¯s live streaming channel. He said with an expression of a local tycoon, ¡°Elizabeth, when you live stream tonight, tell me. I will reward you with a hundred rockets.¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao is generous!¡± Elizabeth opened her sapphire eyes, sped her paws together and looked at innocently while she said, ¡°Zhao Yao, I like you the most.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head with satisfaction and wrote down his n on theputer:

    Strike a deal with the Cat King of the North and advertise both catmint and Elizabeth on the cat web.

    Boost the poprity of Elizabeth on the live streaming tform. At the same time, let Elizabeth publicize the catmint.

    The main customers of the cat web are supercats. On the live streaming tform, besides supercat customers, there are also other ordinary people who are potential customers. The two publicity channels canplement each other.

    If that is the case, some people may want to buy on Taobao and an online shop is required. However, most of the customers on the inte are likely not from Jianghai. It is of little use to the mission. The crux is still the local Jianghai supercats.

    At this point, Zhao Yao immediately recorded his thoughts. ¡°Publicity is done using both cat web and the live streaming tform.

    Supply channels mean online shops and discussion with the cat kings of Jianghai. The online shops are of secondary importance. The most important channels are the cat kings selling catmint in Jianghai. They contribute the most to thepletion of the mission.

    Besides that, I have to deal with thepetitor¡ªthe catmint from Big White cat.¡±

    Zhao Yao summoned Bai Quan and assigned him the setup of the online stores. He created an online group with the four cat kings.

    ¡°I want to create a new set of regtions for Jianghai catmint. Who¡¯s in favor? Who¡¯s opposed?¡±

    The four cat kings remained silent.

    The Cat King of the North had just chatted with Zhao Yao and knew about his intention to sell catmint. So he replied first, ¡°Not possible, do you know how many cats in Jianghai depend on this industry for a living? And now you intend to reset everything? It won¡¯t be easy.¡±

    The Cat King of the East, Milk, who was Uncle Ho¡¯s supercat from the government, immediately said, ¡°This will easily create conflict. It is better to follow market rules. Allow free marketpetition.¡±

    The Cat King of the South, Li Li, said, ¡°Zhao Yao, is Fish Ball at your ce? I went to Xiaoyu¡¯s ce but I could not find him.¡±

    The Cat King of the West did not respond, indicating hisck of interest.

    The conversation did notst for too long before Uncle Ho called Zhao Yao and chided him. He had hoped that Zhao Yao would not create a fuss.

    ¡°Is this big news? I intend to share the world¡¯s best catmint with the supercats in Jianghai! That won¡¯t do?¡±

    Uncle Ho rolled his eyes and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, the amount of Jianghai supercats who depend on selling catmint for a living is too high. If you intend topete fairly, we will not stop you. If you intend to dominate the market by using force, that will cause them to rebel. If Jianghai descends into chaos, you won¡¯t be able to easily sell your catmint. Doesn¡¯t sound that great, right?¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head and thought that he had oversimplified everything. As of now, discussing with the cat kings and forcing them to sell his catmint was not a good solution.

    ¡°Okay, okay.¡± Zhao Yao replied, ¡°I will not use pressure. As for the cat kings, I will approach them individually and promote my catmint.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°With the superior quality of Dust Ball¡¯s catmint if I lower the price a bit more, the cat kings will not be able to refuse to sell my catmint.¡±

    ¡°Then the only concern is Big White cat¡¯s catmint.¡±

    At this point, Roly Poly sent a message. ¡°Zhao Yao, Lucifer is trembling.¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t that normal?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Roly Poly said perplexed, ¡°I did not see him get injured. He justid down on the ground and started shivering. He¡¯s also drooling incessantly.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s gaze froze. The catmint from Big White cat definitely had problems.

    He immediately went into the toilet of a shopping mall and swallowed himself into the Extradimensional Belly. He arrived at the Cat Ind via the Extradimensional Belly. Once again he was in front of the wooden house where Lucifer was imprisoned.

    Before entering, he heard a series of meows.

    Zhao Yao knitted his brows. He moved swiftly like the wind and extended his head to peep into the wooden house. Lucifer was on the ground and trembling incessantly, his mouth emitting meows of pleasure.

    Zhao Yao immediately rushed in, looked at Lucifer and asked, ¡°Hey, Lucifer, how are you?¡±

    ¡°Good... very pleasurable.¡± Lucifer looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°All of a sudden, my whole body feels pleasurable. Ah, cannot stop!!¡±

    Looking at the convulsing Lucifer, Zhao Yao¡¯s expression changed. He immediately lifted Lucifer up.

    ¡°Lucifer!¡± Zhao Yao held Lucifer¡¯s face and asked, ¡°Lucifer, how are you? Lucifer!¡±

    Lucifer was experiencing so much pleasure that the whites of the eyes showed. Looking at his condition, Zhao Yao said seriously, ¡°The toxic effect of the regeneration is able to convert pain into pleasure. Lucifer is having so much pleasure now. That indicates his body is subjected to an extreme pain that it has not felt before.¡±

    Roly Poly sized up the convulsing Lucifer with curiosity and said, ¡°Because of the catmint? That catmint is able to cause great pain to cats? If that is the case, will cats want to buy such stuff?¡±

    ¡°That may not be.¡± Zhao Yao coldly said, ¡°There are a lot of things in this world that will eventually cause pain, however people are still indulging in them.¡±

    Looking at Lucifer in his arms, Zhao Yao furrowed his brows and said, ¡°This cannot go on. If the pleasure continues, even if his physical body is healed by the rapid regeneration, it is unable to heal his mental condition. Lucifer may be insane.¡±

    Roly Poly frowned and thought, ¡°He is not insane now?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought for a while and immediately activated his illusive magic. He ced his palm on Lucifer¡¯s head. ¡°Deprivation of Five Senses.¡±

    At that instant, Lucifer lost his perceptive ability and the changes in his body were unable to provide pleasure. He stopped convulsing and heid in Zhao Yao¡¯s arms as though he was in a deep sleep.

    After witnessing this scene, Zhao Yao confirmed his previous guess. ¡°The catmint from the Big White cat causes strong addiction. A day without this catmint will cause difort to the body. That is why Preserved Egg declined our catmint and opted for that poisonous catmint.¡±

    At this time, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyelid abruptly jumped.

    Lucifer¡¯s loyalty decreased by one point.

    Lucifer¡¯s loyalty decreased by one point.

    Lucifer¡¯s loyalty decreased by one point.

    Lucifer¡¯s loyalty decreased by one point.

    ¡°D*mn cat, he knew I was the one who used the illusive magic and Deprivation of Five Senses.¡± Zhao Yao looked angrily at Lucifer, who was in his arms. ¡°Although the toxic effect of regeneration is able to counteract pain, however, the pain bes pleasure. As such, the poisonous catmint is still affecting Lucifer.

    Other cats are yearning for this poisonous catmint under the influence of pain. One day without it will cause difort to the whole body. On the other hand, Lucifer is yearning after pleasure. He is so addicted to the pleasure that he will want to sniff the poisonous catmint even after its effect is gone.¡±

    Looking at Lucifer¡¯s decreasing loyalty, Zhao Yao sneered and said, ¡°Other cats are not immune but my cat is immune.¡± He extended his finger and touched Lucifer¡¯s brow chakra.

    ¡°Take my Great Flow of Idleness!¡±

    At that instant, the Sixth Sense illusive magic erupted with full strength and transferred Zhao Yao¡¯s current thoughts into Lucifer¡¯s consciousness.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s Great Flow of Idleness was on par with Porn Tsunami and Pupil Dispersion. It was a strong attack based on the foundation of Elizabeth¡¯s illusive magic.

    Especially since the encounter with the Cat King of the West in the supernatural prison, where he had activated the Infinite Flow of Idleness, his magic had improved by leaps and bounds. It had reached a stage where it was unfathomable.

    Zhao Yao rarely used the Great Flow of Idleness, as he was concerned that the victim would be trapped in a hopeless situation, upsetting the harmonious bnce of the Heaven and Earth.

    However, using it to save his own cat was no big deal. Zhao Yao activated the magic only for a short while. He looked at Lucifer in his arms. His loyalty stopped declining.

    At this instant, Lucifer was toozy to think, so it was impossible to lower his loyalty.

    Zhao Yao simply sat in the wooden house. Elizabeth¡¯s illusive magic required continual activation even after adding thetest skill points, which only added a dy of ten minutes. Zhao Yao decided to stay put and maintain Lucifer¡¯s idleness until the effects of the catmint addiction subsided.

    Bored, Zhao Yao grabbed Roly Poly who was beside him. He caressed his head and pinched his belly. Roly Poly squinted his eyes and revealed an enjoyable expression.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Roly Poly, why do I feel that you have gained weight? Have you been eating fried chicken in secret?¡±

    Roly Poly immediately covered his mouth and said, ¡°How can that be? I haven¡¯t had fried chicken for a long time, Zhao Yao. Fried chicken is not tasty at all. I am eating Bai Quan¡¯s cat meals every day.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Zhao Yao abruptly pried pinched open his mouth and sniffed forcefully. ¡°Finger-licking original-vored chicken, fragrant crispy chicken wing, New-Orleans barbecued chicken thigh? Even fried popcorn chicken?¡±

    Zhao Yao pressed on Roly Poly¡¯s skull and said, ¡°Even I do not dare to eat so much junk food. You must be tired of living.¡±

    Roly Poly immediately shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, I do not wish to eat that much. However, I am unable to quit. A day without fried chicken and I feel ufortable all over. Even illusive magic is useless in my case.¡±

    ¡°Heh heh, let¡¯s do it this way.¡± Zhao Yao squeezed Roly Poly¡¯s neck and said, ¡°From today onwards, 24 hours per day, you will follow me and won¡¯t wander off within a limit of three meters. I want to monitor every meal of yours.¡±

    Roly Poly was totally dejected. Zhao Yao helped Lucifer to quit his addiction and at the same time, whipped out a handphone. He intended to check the cat web for information regarding the poisonous catmint.

    ¡°If I can help Lucifer quit his addiction, this means that I can heal the cats that sniffed the poisonous catmint. I will also cut off the source of the poisonous catmint and our catmint will dominate the Jianghai market.¡±

    Zhao Yao happily browsed the postings on cat web.

    ¡°Lilibet¡¯sparison before and after stic surgery. This is your favorite broadcaster.¡±

    ¡°The aftersales service of the Cat King of the North is very bad, the goods have not been sent out even after 15 days.¡±

    ¡°Shocking, the Headless Horseman did not even take mercy on a newborn cat. 99% of cats do not know the cruel truth...¡±

    Zhao Yao was amused by the previous two posts. The third one made him very unhappy. When he explored further, he was furious.

    ¡°nder, this is pure nder.¡±

    Zhao Yao pulled back his sleeves and started scolding the OP.

    ...

    On the rooftop of a huge building, Matcha wasughing loudly as he looked at the posts. His paws cast shadows as he typed furiously on the phone keyboard. ¡°Too slow, too slow, Zhao Yao, your typing speed is too slow.¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao furiously pped the ground. As he looked at the increasing number of postings, he immediately contacted the Cat King of the North.

    ¡°Hello, help me freeze an ount-ID on a discussion board.¡±

    The Cat King of the North immediately declined and said, ¡°The cat web is the home of the supercats. All cats are equal. Nobody has special rights.¡±

    ¡°I will give you Elizabeth¡¯s bathing water.¡±

    The Cat King of the North replied, ¡°Not possible to freeze his ount-ID, but I can ban him from posting.¡±

    Roly Poly looked at the scene with astonishment. ¡°Such a filthy deal behind the scenes and a tiny kitten is being silenced on the world wide web this easily! Can bathing water be used to make a deal? That is easier than getting cat litter.¡± At this moment, Roly Poly felt his thoughts deepening. He had discovered a new world paradigm.¡±

    ...

    On the rooftop, Matcha looked at the popup in front of him, infuriated. ¡°I¡¯m banned from posting for 15 days? Based on what? An unscrupulous deal... must be a filthy-behind-the-scenes kind of deal. I¡¯ll create another ount-ID to scold them!¡±

    On the cat web¡¯s discussion board ount-IDs like Heaven Destroy Headless1, Heaven Destroy Headless2, Heaven Destroy Headless3, were newly created to curse at Zhao Yao. However, they were immediately frozen.

    Zhao Yao happily posted on the discussion board. Soon, it was dark.

    Looking at Lucifer to his side, Zhao Yao dispelled the Great Flow of Idleness. Lucifer shook his head and stood up, his face totally nk. ¡°What happened to me just now? Why do I feel that a part of my life has disappeared?¡±

    ¡°Because you were poisoned by addiction. The catmint that you consumed had addictive qualities. If you stop eating it, it causes undesirable side effects worse than death itself. Because of the extreme pain, your memories were erased once you awoke.¡±

    Lucifer was astonished and said, ¡°Really? Even the toxic effect of regeneration is useless?¡±

    ¡°Yes, of course.¡± Zhao Yao told a white lie. If Lucifer were to know that Zhao Yao had activated the Great Flow of Idleness because of the uncontroble pleasure, then he might consume the poisonous catmint in secret.

    ¡°Well, the issue has been settled. Are you feeling particrly sober?¡±

    Lucifer nodded his head and said, ¡°I have never felt better.¡±

    ¡°Previously, you were addicted to the sea of pleasure, unable to extricate yourself. Now that you are sober, all is well.¡± Zhao Yao scratched Lucifer¡¯s chin and said, ¡°After I leave, be a good cat. Do not sniff any poisonous catmint again.¡±

    ¡°Got it, thank you, Zhao Yao. ¡°Lucifer looked gratefully at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°If not for you, I cannot imagine what would have be of me. After you leave, I will turn over a new leaf and never touch poisonous catmint again.¡±

    Roly Poly rolled his eyes and said, ¡°Who fed you the poisonous catmint?¡±

    ¡°What did you say, Roly Poly?¡± Zhao Yao red at Roly Poly and said, ¡°What about fervent loyalty and devotion to duty? What has gotten into you? Did I save him because I wanted his loyalty?¡±

    Roly Poly looked at Zhao Yao, dumbstruck. He said in a feeble voice, ¡°I... I didn¡¯t talk about loyalty.¡±

    Lucifer¡¯s expression changed and he immediately said, ¡°Zhao Yao, do not me Roly Poly. He is right. You saved me. I, Lucifer, will obey you from now on. I shall devote myself to my duties instead of goofing around.¡±

    Lucifer¡¯s loyalty increased by one point.

    Lucifer¡¯s loyalty increased by one point.

    Lucifer¡¯s loyalty increased by one point.

    Looking at Lucifer¡¯s increasing loyalty, Zhao Yao nodded with satisfaction and said, ¡°Well, as long as you are happy... I, Zhao Yao, raise cats because I want you to be well and happy. Go on, go on.¡±

    Lucifer nodded at Zhao Yao and left the wooden house.

    Roly Poly looked at the smiling Zhao Yao and frowned. ¡°This fellow Zhao Yao is indeed a master maniptor of kittens. Compared to the previous enlightenment around the bathing water incident, this is something that I have more to learn about.

    If I monitor him for the next 24 hours, perhaps I will learn some cat maniption methods. No one in all of Cat Nation will be able to go up against me.¡±

    At this thought, Roly Poly fixed his eyes firmly on Zhao Yao, as if he wanted to learn from Zhao Yao¡¯s every word and action.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Very good, Lucifer¡¯s addiction is cured, meaning that the catmint¡¯s addictive properties can be cured. Next, I will destroy the source of the poisonous catmint.¡±

    After some consideration, Zhao Yao thought that prevention was also important. Hence he contacted the Cat King of the North and Uncle Ho, informing them of this incident and asking them to be wary of such poisonous catmint in the market.

    ...

    Meanwhile, as Zhao Yao was about to deal with the poisonous catmint...

    Under Midnight¡¯s orders, Old K and Lang Gou set up an ambush in an abandoned factory.

    ¡°Where is Midnight? He called us here to capture the Headless Horseman and he is not around?¡± Old K furiously looked at his phone. There were no traces or messages from Midnight.

    Lang Gou grinned as he said, ¡°No hurry Old K, Midnight may be unkind, however, he is a reliablepanion. With him around, our mission¡¯s efficiency is greatly enhanced.¡±

    Old K coldly said, ¡°Humph, nonsense, if this guy is of no use to us, I will have finished him off.¡±

    Lang Gou continued to grin, not wanting to prick Old K¡¯s inted ego.

    Midnight¡¯s voice abruptly rang behind them. ¡°Most likely, the Headless Horseman will being here soon.¡±

    Old K¡¯s face was pale from the shock. He turned his head and asked, ¡°How do you know?¡±

    Midnight said, ¡°ording to my researched intelligence, the Headless Horseman has a habit of chivalry. He was on the case of a kidnapped supercat. I used the resources of God of Death and found the kidnapper first.¡±

    ¡°You assigned us to identify the suspects and you went alone in secret to follow up on the intelligence of the Headless Horseman simultaneously?¡± Lang Gou¡¯s face showed deep understanding. ¡°So is the kidnapper in this factory? Yes, if your intelligence is urate, as long we wait here, the Headless Horseman will definitely show himself.¡±

    Midnight hummed in agreement and said, ¡°I have also deployed 15 apostles from Doll to set up a trap with no chance of escape. Both of you are to follow me and monitor the kidnapper at close proximity.¡±

    After hearing about the 15 apostles from Doll, Old K¡¯s face twitched uncontrobly.

    This time, the manpower that God of Death had deployed for searching Jianghai, included 15 apostles and the three of them. This could be considered a small area battle, however, the firepower was extremely powerful.

    The three of them were experienced and battle-hardened apostles. They traveled stealthily along the way and arrived at the deep end of the factory quickly.

    In a small room at the deep end of the factory, a man was tied to a chair, surrounded by three other men. All of them looked viciously at the seated man.

    Midnight, Old K, and Lang Gou waited for a few hours. Then the situation changed.

    One of the kidnappers abruptly stood up and said, ¡°Xiao Ming! Because of you, we lost a lot of money!¡±

    Another kidnapper said, ¡°Xiao Ming! If you do not pay today, don¡¯t think of leaving this factory!¡±

    ¡°Quickly pay up!¡±

    Xiao Ming, who was tied to the chair, seemedposed. He listened and then said, ¡°I only provided some logical investment advice. I was not aware that the stock of Yili would tank so much. I had also invested a lot of money and my loss was greater than the sum of all your investments.¡±

    ¡°You said that the stock will rise! If not for your bullsh*t, would we have invested so much money?¡±

    ¡°No need to talk to him, let¡¯s beat him up first.¡±

    The three men rushed forward and started punching and kicking Xiao Ming.

    At the next instant, a scream pierced the air. A ck-robed headless man abruptly appeared behind Xiao Ming.

    Following the withdrawal of his hand, Xiao Ming screamed out in pain.

    ¡°Who are you?

    ¡°Stop ying dirty tricks to fool us!¡±

    Facing the threats of the three kidnappers, the headless man sighed and said, ¡°Why are the three of you doing this? Owing money does not create enmity. Why create trouble for him?¡± Looking at the trio, he thought, ¡°Headless mentor, what shall I do? They are after all mypatriots.¡±

    Xiao Ming rolled his eyes. ¡°Why has this fellow ck Panther recently be fond of masquerading as a headless man? He might as well. That masquerade is good for scaring off apostles when meeting them.¡±

    Not waiting for the three kidnappers¡¯ replies, the headless man shed through the air three times. He had already appeared behind them and stabbed them in their kidneys one at a time. They copsed on the ground in pain, panting rapidly.

    ¡°Here hees.¡± Old K¡¯s eyes brightened on witnessing the scene. ¡°Teleporting and this masquerade. We have finally found you, Headless Horseman!¡±

    As Old K was about to make his move, the Headless Horseman abruptly screamed in pain. Midnight had transformed his Virtual Spirit-Body into Safe Transparency existence, snuck behind his opponent and squeezed his heart.

    However, after his scream, the figure of Headless Horseman shed and dodged Midnight¡¯s attack. He teleported behind Xiao Ming and stabbed him in the back.

    The Headless Horseman surveyed the empty room and shouted, ¡°Who is that?¡±

    ¡°Where are you looking?¡± A bloodcurdling voice rang behind the Headless Horseman. He was slightly startled and felt his whole body ache and weaken from the sound.

    Old K sneered and he thought, ¡°I have filled the entire room with my poisonous gas. You lost the moment you entered.¡±

    The body of Headless Horseman wavered as he fainted to the ground. Xiao Ming and the rest of the kidnappers had passed out the moment Old K activated his poisonous gas.

    Old K walked to the side of the Headless Horseman, viciously kicked him twice and said, ¡°Let me see what you are up to.¡±

    He pulled off his ck robe, revealing a dark-skinned face. The opponent had hidden his head underneath the robe.

    Lang Gou slowly walked over, his face smiling contentedly. ¡°Looks like I do not have to make my moves. Initially, I thought my ability would be extremely useful against Teleporting.¡±

    Old K looked condescendingly at ck Panther and said, ¡°So this is the guy? Pretty easy to deal with. I¡¯ve poisoned him, shall I kill him?¡±

    Midnight shook his head, looked at ck Panther, and said, ¡°The King of Death will send someone to check his identity. Before that, we cannot make any moves.¡±

    Out of fear of the Headless Horseman¡¯s terrifying attack, the King of Death had shut down all of his avatars in Jianghai. Even the subsequent task of identity verification would not be done by him. He could not bear the risk of being wiped out by the Headless Horseman just to meet him.

    ording to the King of Death, the task of verifying the identity of the Headless Horseman would be a time-consuming affair.

    Old Kughed and said, ¡°The Headless Horseman issue is settled. With regards to the catmint, should we go ahead with it? Once, my catmint has been rolled out in Jianghai, we will be able to control the cats without any fighting.¡±

    Midnight looked at Preserved Egg, who was lying on the floor. He agreed and said, ¡°Inform the other party, the sooner the better.¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao was fixated on theputer screen, observing Elizabeth¡¯s live stream.

    After more than ten minutes, he could not resistmenting and asked, ¡°Is this worth watching? Aren¡¯t you bored?¡±

    ¡°Lizzie¡¯s unrivaled beauty willst me a lifetime.¡±

    ¡°Troublemaker, get lost.¡±

    ¡°Administrator, aren¡¯t you doing something?¡±

    Elizabeth grinned as she continued, however, silently she incessantly cursed at the troublemaker. She nced at Diana andmunicated with her telepathically, ¡°Diana, remember this ount-ID ¡®Peerless Suave Man¡¯.¡± Elizabeth was going to freeze itter.

    Zhao Yao did not continue watching the live stream. Instead, he went to recharge his ount with money.

    Elizabeth privately asked Diana to type out herments.

    ¡°Hi Everyone, my mum is watching my live stream today. She is very curious as to what kind of people are watching my live stream.¡±

    Thements immediately shed in a frenzy as they wanted to see Elizabeth¡¯s mother.

    Upon witnessing this scene, Elizabeth felt very pleased with herself as she had intentionally thought of this gimmick. Today, she would appear with her mum and maybeter Diana would join, thus forming a little group.

    With the appearance of Catherine, the Ragdoll cat, thements shed across the screen furiously, delighting Elizabeth.

    A person even rewarded her with a rocket.

    Elizabeth took a look. It was the ount-ID ¡°Peerless Suave Man¡± that she had wanted to freeze.

    After being rewarded with a rocket, Elizabeth instantly felt that the ¡°Peerless Suave Man¡± was not that hateful after all.

    However, the first rocket was just the beginning. He rewarded her a second, third and so on until the seventh rocket. He had no intention of stopping.

    Elizabeth was slightly dumbfounded and immediately reacted. ¡°Is this Zhao Yao?¡± She quickly replied with joy, ¡°Thank you Peerless Suave Man for the rocket. You are very generous.¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao looked at the screen and pressed the reward button one at a time. He could have rewarded once with arge amount, however, he preferred the-one-at-a-time approach. He was enjoying the pleasure of spending money.

    Looking at the triple six filling the screen, Zhao Yao sighed and thought, ¡°s, I never thought that I would degenerate to this stage... splurging five-hundred dor rockets like this.¡±

    As Zhao Yao continued rewarding and saw thements seething with excitement, he was piqued and rewarded more than the promised 100 rockets. Again he had no intention of stopping.

    With the meteoric rise of the rocket count, the poprity of the live stream also soared by leaps and bounds, making Elizabeth extremely touched and excited.

    ¡°My goodness, so many people are watching a cat live stream?¡±

    ¡°What is this? Someone rewarded over 200 rockets on a cat live stream?¡±

    ¡°Poverty has limited my imagination.¡±

    ¡°A rich silly person, the money is enough to buy this cat.¡±

    ¡°You know nothing!¡±

    ¡°Foolish humans.¡±

    ¡°Lilibet is a priceless gem!¡±

    Zhao Yao was totally indifferent. As he continued rewarding one rocket at a time, he grinned at the astonishedmenting crowd.

    After Zhao Yao had rewarded more than 200 rockets, an ount-ID ¡°Sniffing Cat King¡± also rewarded more than 50 rockets.

    Elizabeth meowed in surprise and asked Diana to type out her gratitude. ¡°Thank you Sniffing Cat King. Thank you, boss, for the rockets.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes brightened and he thought, ¡°This ount-ID must be Elizabeth¡¯s administrator, whom I recall is the Cat King of the West?¡±

    Sniffing Cat Kingmented, ¡°Lilibet is mine.¡±

    Zhao Yao sneered, ¡°Hehe, pitting your fortune against mine?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s rocket count reached over 400 very quickly and the rocket count of Cat King of the West exceeded 200. Thements were all expressing shock and astonishment.

    ¡°Impressive, betting fortune on a cat.¡±

    ¡°Is the current fad of the rich ying with cats?¡±

    ¡°The awesome cat, the awesome cat.¡±

    ¡°From the beginning, I see Chang Wei beating Lai Fu.¡±

    With the rapid growth of the live stream¡¯s poprity, Zhao Yao had already splurged on more than 600 rockets while Cat King of the West had splurged on about 400 rockets.

    In the Jianghai supernatural prison, the Cat King of the West red at the rocket count on the screen. He was so furious that all his fur stood up.

    ¡°Disgusting... who is this Peerless Suave Man? He has the guts topete with me for Lilibet?¡±

    As the warden of the supernatural prison, he was in charge of reforming the criminals and thus held great power. The Cat King of the West stayed in the prison daily and received a generous monthly ie. He seldom spent his money and had a fat bank ount.

    However, as he was a fixed wage employee, the Cat King of the West was not as wealthy as Zhao Yao. At 400 rockets, he felt distressed as he could not sustain the rewards and stopped rewarding rockets.

    Zhao Yao grinned when the Cat King of the West stopped rewarding the rockets. However, instead of stopping, he continued gifting rockets to maintain the momentum.

    ¡°I might as well reward Elizabeth with more rockets. Once her poprity soars, she¡¯ll be able to advertise the catmint for me.¡±

    It was Elizabeth¡¯s first time having such arge audience on her live stream. She was at a loss and looked dumbfoundedly at the screen which was full ofments. She became nervous.

    At this time, Zhao Yao posted ament that said, ¡°Lilibet, give me a dance.¡±

    Elizabeth was exhrated when the rocket count exceeded 500 rockets. However, she felt sorry as it was 200 thousand dors that she had to share half with the tform.

    She widened her eyes and said pitifully, ¡°Boss, are you alright after spending so much money? Is it too much of a waste?¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled, looked at the worried Elizabeth on the screen and sighed.Elizabeth has grown up. He posted ament that said, ¡°Not a big deal, instead of fretting, give me a dance.¡±

    Elizabeth raised up her paws in embarrassment and sped them together as she turned and twisted. ¡°I do not know how to dance.¡±

    ¡°You can open up a video and follow the dance. Try that... the seaweed dance!¡±

    The Cat King of the West grabbed the screen tightly, feeling excited and angry as he shouted, ¡°Disgusting! Forcing Lilibet to dance!¡±

    Elizabeth opened the seaweed dance video and danced ording to the steps shown in the video.

    The seaweed dance was a dance that had suddenly be popr on the inte. A dance that many cat lovers made their cats swing to. It was simple yet strangely attractive dance.

    Elizabeth followed the video and did the seaweed dance. Her small paws turned and twisted as her fluffy fur wavered. The cute poses immediately invited a series of frenziedments.

    ¡°Such an adorable kitten.¡±

    ¡°Chang Wei, didn¡¯t you say you did not know martial arts?¡±

    ¡°Lilibet is so cute!¡±

    ¡°Lilibet¡¯s fur is so thick and fluffy!¡±

    ¡°Ah! I can¡¯t hold my pee after seeing this.¡±

    Zhao Yao scorned at thestment. It looked like it was from a tomcat. Is he peeing because he¡¯s in a rut? These cats are too immature.

    Roly Poly was also shocked by what he saw. Of course, his admiration for Elizabeth was part of it. More importantly, he felt a golden luminous path of great fortune appearing in front of him.

    The Cat King of the West¡¯s prison, the Cat King gazed lovingly at the dancing Elizabeth on the screen. He shifted his head closer and closer to the screen before finally extending his tongue towards Elizabeth.

    On this night, the change in the Cat King of the West¡¯s temperament also changed many criminals.

    In the apostle cell, an apostle from the Japanese Storm Organization, Hidekazu Sato, turned and tossed sleeplessly. He abruptly opened his eyes, sighed and said, ¡± I suddenly have the urge to raise a Ragdoll cat. That cute little paw, petite nose, thick fluffy fur, and tender mouth...¡±

    His words seemed to have struck simr chords. His roommate, who was also from the Storm Organization, Onitsuka, sighed as his thoughts collected. ¡°I feel the urge to watch cat videos on the inte and imagine myself cuddling cats. Stuck in this prison, I have not petted a cat for a long time.¡±

    At the other corner of the prison, Nessie, who was suffering from hemorrhoids, overheard theirments. Nessie and Sun Meng had previously been defeated by Zhao Yao. Nessie¡¯s face broke out in cold sweat as he thought with astonishment, ¡°What is happening? Why do I feel like... like boning cats?¡±

    Nessie abruptly twisted his face. Cold sweat dripped down from his forehead like tap water.

    Pooh!

    ¡°This is bad! Nessie is vomiting blood again!¡±

    ¡°Warden! Warden!¡±

    After Zhao Yao¡¯s maniption, the poprity of Elizabeth¡¯s live stream grew exponentially. After the seaweed dance, Elizabeth pulled out a diagram that she had prepared and started promoting the catmint.

    ¡°Today, I am rmending a useful brand of catmint, Dust Ball Catmint.¡± Elizabeth held a normal looking packet of catmint in her mouth. On the packet, was a logo printed out by Bai Quan at the printing shop in the morning. The logo took the form of a ck cat¡¯s portrait.

    ¡°Summer is approaching soon and what bother cats the most?

    Shedding fur. We all know that we shed lots of fur in summer every year. To clean up by licking oneself requires lots of time and effort.

    What about at home? Cat fur is flying all over the ce. This brand of catmint, Dust Ball Catmint, minimizes the pores and binds the fur to the skin. Hence, we do not have to fret over the shedding of fur during summer time.¡±

    Elizabeth opened up the catmint and said, ¡°Let¡¯s see the difference between this brand of catmint with the normal ones. Firstly, the pellets are extremely fine which allows your body to assimte it faster and more efficiently.¡±

    She used her paw to grind the open catmint and put near her mouth to sniff. ¡°Wah, this feeling... It feels as though my face has been sshed with hyaluronic acid.¡±

    Zhao Yao was speechless.

    ¡°Elizabeth... what kind of preparation was that? What kind of research did she do?¡±

    Finally, Elizabeth said, ¡°After seeing this catmint for a while, everyone must be asking where to buy it. Let me tell you, this brand is not yet in production. However, in the lucky draw I¡¯m going to holdter for the audience, you¡¯ll have a chance at winning this brand of catmint...¡±

    Zhao Yao stared with his lifeless eyes while watching Elizabeth¡¯s advertisement. After it ended, he looked at the reactions in thements and it seemed pretty effective. He intended to reward more rockets over the next few days as a publicity blitz. He wanted to boost the poprity of both Elizabeth and the catmint.

    Dust Ball texted him, ¡°Big White cat informed me that they are able to negotiate in three days, do we agree?¡±

    ¡°Oh, they brought it forward? Zhao Yao nodded his head and said, ¡°We might as well... three dayster.¡± He thought, ¡°Good, I can advertise more during these three days and approach a few cat kings to settle the supply channels. If everything goes smoothly, we can start selling next week.¡±

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    In the next few days, with the help of the Cat King of the North and Elizabeth, Zhao Yao aggressively advertised Dust Ball Catmint to all the Cat Kings and supercats in Jianghai.

    Zhao Yao also sent Dust Ball, Fish Ball, and Red Packet to promote Dust Ball Catmint to the Cat Kings in every small district, slowly dominating the catmint market in Jianghai bit by bit.

    At the same time, the ck market in Jianghai prospered. Besides the poisonous catmint mass-produced by Old K, another type of catmint, known as Divine Catmint, quickly entered the catmint market in Jianghai. More and more supercats started taking this Divine Catmint and became heavily dependent on it.

    Like a snowball, the number of supercats taking the Divine Catmint rose above 100 and continued to increase. It was like a virus that couldn¡¯t stop spreading.

    If no one stepped in, this Divine Catmint would easily dominate the whole catmint market in Jianghai, making thousands of supercats addicted to it.

    ...

    In a small district in Jianghai, Red Packet and Dust Ball walked into an underground parking lot. Following the instructions sent by the Cat King of this district, they came to a small room.

    Once they stepped inside, they saw a huge crowd of supercats lying paralyzed all over the floor. Some were shivering, others had their eyes rolled back showing only the whites. The only thingmon in all of them was that they all looked exceptionally high.

    In the deepest corner of the room, a big orange caty facing upwards on a badly scratched sofa, revealing his fat white belly. He wore a big gold chain on his neck and was nked by two flirtatious female cats. He looked like a cat gang leader.

    When they saw who it was, Dust Ball and Red Packet simultaneously cried out in shock, ¡°Matcha?¡±

    However, they quickly regained theirposure. Red Packet said privately to Dust Ball, ¡°Although he looks very simr to Matcha, has the same white belly, white paws, and orange patterns on his fur, his decadent appearance is... D*mn they¡¯re so alike, how can this be?¡±

    Dust Ball frowned. Sensing that things were not so simple, she replied, ¡°Unless this guy is rted to Matcha? Maybe his father or his brother?¡±

    As the two cats were conversing privately, Fat Matcha, who was lying on the sofa gestured for them toe over with a wave of his paw.

    ¡°Hey, Red Packet right, I heard about you from Fish Ball.¡± Fat Matcha stretched out his paw. Red Packet hesitated but still stretched out his paw to hi-five him.

    Fat Matcha continued, ¡°Fish Ball is a good brother of mine, so I¡¯m not worried about the people he rmends. At first, I had already decided to buy your catmint, but then there was an ident.¡±

    ¡°ident? What do you mean?¡± Red Packet frowned.

    ¡°There is a better batch of catmint on the Jianghai market now. They contacted me and I tried some of it. It was the best catmint I¡¯ve ever had. To be honest, I¡¯m already hooked on that stuff.¡± Fat Matcha shrugged his shoulders as he continued, ¡°I¡¯m sorry about this but I have decided to sell their catmint instead.¡±

    ¡°You!...¡± Dust Ball was about to say something but was stopped by Red Packet.

    Red Packet shook his head, ¡°Stop talking, let¡¯s just go.¡± He thought to himself, ¡°These cats are already addicted to the poisonous catmint. There¡¯s no use talking to them further about this. If we do, we might even anger them for nothing. Better to wait for Zhao Yao to settle his side of things first. We are just in charge of making money. When ites to things like fighting, it¡¯s better to leave it to the experts.¡±

    When the two cats came out, Dust Ball raged, ¡°Why did you stop me? I wanted to ask if he knew Matcha.¡±

    Red Packet rolled his eyes, ¡°... I thought you wanted to tell them about the side effects of the poisonous catmint so I stopped you from talking.¡±

    ¡°Oh right,¡± Dust Ball¡¯s eyes widened and started wagging her tail agitatedly, ¡°Why not tell them?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s pointless to tell them. Zhao Yao said before, once the addiction acts up, it is not something that can be ovee at will,¡± Red Packet shook his head, ¡°Just leave rough work like fighting to Zhao Yao. He will be able to address the root cause of the problem. What we should do now is to open more channels for selling our catmint.¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao had received the message from Dust Ball and Red Packet in no time. He frowned slightly and said, ¡°These guys actually started spreading the poisonous catmint around already? If I let you guys continue with this, the cats in Jianghai might not even know who the Headless Horseman is, they will only what catmint is. Hmph, it¡¯s time to attack evil and bring justice.¡±

    As the mission panel changed, a new mission appeared.

    Mission: Defeat the evil.

    Mission Objective: Completely destroy the source of poisonous catmint production and treat the addicted cats.

    Reward: 1000 experience points would be awarded for destroying the source of poisonous catmint. For every addicted cat that was treated, 10 experience points will be awarded, capped at 2000 experience points.

    Mission Penalty: None

    A golden gleam shed in Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes. ¡°This is exactly what I want. During the negotiation with them tomorrow, there should be over 200 supercats that have taken the poisonous catmint.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at his current three missions again carefully. They were: Attacking the evil by destroying the production source of poisonous catmint, promoting Elizabeth to be the main news anchor and the rewards roulette mission for dominating the catmint market.

    ¡°Nice, I canplete all three of them at once.¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and said, ¡°Among most criminals, drug traffickers are one of the most savage kinds. These guys might have just used the poisonous catmint to control a batch of supercats. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have the guts to sell it on my territory.¡±

    Sensing that the battle tomorrow might be more arduous than expected, Zhao Yao decided to make some preparations for safety purposes and to prevent them from falling at the hands of their enemy.

    As he thought of this, his eyes lit up as if he was about to y with his favorite toy. ¡°It¡¯s finally time to upgrade my supercat armor 3.0 again!¡±

    He grabbed a whole bunch of spicy cat strips from his pocket. They were the spicy cat strips he had gotten from the rewards lottery. He had strips left.

    ¡°Ares is the Xuan-Yuan Sword, that¡¯s my right-hand gear. Let me see what gear I should use for my left side.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked for and found F¨±jin, Ares¡¯ younger brother, whoy on his left arm in the original supercat armor. F¨±jin was a Siamese cat that had the ability to release air sts.

    He caught F¨±jin and stuffed the spicy cat strips into his mouth. After a loud, smoky explosion, Zhao Yao quietly picked up the gear on the floor.

    His face turned ck as he turned on the power switch of the gear. An enormous gust of wind blew out from the hairdryer.

    F¨±jin: ¡°Deng deng deng! Deng deng deng! Super hairdryer!¡±

    ¡°Blow your head!¡± Zhao Yao wanted to just throw the hairdryer on the floor as he thought of how other people used weapons like Murasama de, Blood Whip, Blood Gun or Katana. The lousier weapons were still guns of some sort. The thought that he, the Headless Horseman, would be bringing a hairdryer to battle, made him cringe in embarrassment.

    With that thought in his head, F¨±jin was transformed back into his original form.

    F¨±jin was of no use, so Zhao Yao found Uncle Egg and fed him a spicy cat strip. A loud bang was heard after an explosion as an electric baton appeared noiselessly in front of Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Hmm, it¡¯s still a little low quality, but bringing an electric baton out to battle makes more sense.¡±

    Zhao Yao pressed the button on the electric baton and electric arcs shot out, reaching up to a range of five meters.

    Compared to F¨±jin¡¯s transformation into a hairdryer, Uncle Egg¡¯s electric baton transformation obviously made Zhao Yao much happier. Zhao Yao temporarily put the electric baton on the floor and called Sphynx cat over.

    Zhao Yao stared at Sphynx cat excitedly and thought to himself, ¡°I wonder what Sphynx cat will turn into. Logically speaking, his ability only lies in training his physique. If I turn him into a tool it is unlikely that it would increase my fighting power, but what if it really does?¡±

    During F¨±jin and Uncle Egg transformations, the sight had attracted many supercats in the extradimensional belly as they now gathered around Zhao Yao to watch.

    ¡°What is Zhao Yao up to again?¡± Lightning widened his eyes and said, ¡°How did F¨±jin be a hairdryer and Uncle Egg an electric baton?¡±

    Matcha said with the face of an experienced cat, ¡°What do you know? This is called initial release. The real names of the supercats are called out to release the final form of our true powers.¡±

    ¡°Eh?¡± Lightning paused for a moment. ¡°We supercats have such a form?¡±

    Matcha nodded and said seriously, ¡°Of course, every supercat can have an initial release. Even a final release. Just like how I have the power to destroy heaven and earth after my final release.¡±

    Lightning stared at Matcha incredulously, ¡°Are you for real? Howe you never had your final release before?¡±

    Matcha scoffed, ¡°Humph, Zhao Yao¡¯s spiritual power is too weak, that¡¯s why I couldn¡¯t achieve my final release.¡± As he said that, he looked at his paws and grimaced, ¡°D*mn, it¡¯s starting again. That feeling when power is flowing all over your body but you can¡¯t release it. Being born with unimaginable power that could destroy the universe... is this my fate? D*mn it!¡±

    Lightning pretended to nod in agreement as he conversed privately with Fish Ball, ¡°This child. I think he¡¯s been reading Bleach recently.¡±

    Fish Ball showed no emotion on his face, though he was actually conversing with Lightning in private. ¡°Yeah, he¡¯s looking for his Soul-Cutter Sword every day.¡±

    Shouts of excitement and surprise erupted from the crowd as Sphynx cat disappeared in an explosion of white smoke before appearing as a spanner on the ground.

    Zhao Yao picked up the spanner without a word. He swung it forcefully a few times but felt no superpowering from it at all.

    ¡°Hmm, Sphynx cat¡¯s powers really can¡¯t be enhanced directly...¡± Zhao Yao suddenly thought, ¡°But I remember his power has a side effect.¡±

    His expression turned serious as he stared at the spanner in his hand, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me this spanner can turn a person gay when hit?¡±

    After thinking about it, Zhao Yao decided not to experiment with it rashly. He just ced the ¡®suspicious spanner¡¯ on the ground together with Uncle Egg¡¯s electric baton.

    Zhao Yao raised his head and looked around before pointing to Fish Ball, ¡°Fish Ball,e here.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to transform into anything,¡± Fish Ball¡¯s face stiffened as he continued, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, could you not transform me please?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t say no to me,¡± Zhao Yao waved his hand and said graciously, ¡°I will give you 100 dors afterwards.¡±

    Fish Ball immediately ran over with his butt swinging from left to right and the crowd of cats around him started cheering in unison. Even Uncle Egg and F¨±jin who had been transformed previously joined in as well.

    Zhao Yao immediately responded, ¡°Okay, okay, the cats who were also transformed will all get money after this. 100 dors for every cat that transformed.¡±

    After pacifying the supercats, Zhao Yao fed Fish Ball a spicy cat strip. An explosion of white smoke followed and a strange-looking gear appeared in front of Zhao Yao.

    Looking at the gear before him, Zhao Yao gasped, ¡°This is...¡± He stretched his hand to touch the 20cm long metal hilt as he stared at the empty hole on the end of the hilt where the de was missing.

    Zhao Yao eximed, ¡°Isn¡¯t this the Lightsaber? What the heck?? This is the Lightsaber!!¡±

    Fish Ball had transformed into something that looked exactly like the Lightsaber from the Star Wars universe, which instantly excited Zhao Yao.

    Fish Ball replied with a tinge of embarrassment, ¡°Ah? Am I originally this powerful? Hahahaha, I guess this is my true power.¡±

    The supercats surrounding them were in shock as well.

    Lightning sighed, ¡°Wow, Fish Ball can actually turn into a Lightsaber.¡±

    No one knew when Rice Cake had joined the crowd, but once he saw Fish Ball¡¯s transformation, his eyes gleamed as he said, ¡°Ah, I really want to y with the Lightsaber.¡±

    Cheese, Rice Cake¡¯s brother, gently licked the top of Rice Cake¡¯s head and said, ¡°When Zhao Yao is done I will ask to borrow Fish Ball from him so you can y with it.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s face sank as he heard the chatter around him. ¡°D*mn it, how did a cat Fish Ball turn into the Lightsaber?¡±

    On the other hand, Zhao Yao gripped the Lightsaber excitedly with both hands as he casually exhaled, pressing the button on Lightsaber with all his might.

    However, the high-energy particles that formed the Lightsaber in his mind did not appear as he expected. Only an ordinary light ray shot out from the hilt.

    The crowd was silent. Fish Ball let out an awkwardugh, ¡°Hahahaha, so I¡¯m not a Lightsaber, but a torchlight designed in the shape of a Lightsaber.¡±

    ¡°D*mn you!¡± Zhao Yao threw the ¡®Lightsaber-shaped hilted torchlight¡¯ on the ground. ¡°What kind of lousy gear is this? Got me excited for nothing.¡±

    Looking at the electric baton, the suspicious spanner and the ¡®Lightsaber-shaped hilted torchlight¡¯ on the ground, Zhao Yao sighed and thought to himself, ¡°Aside from the Xuan-Yuan Sword which Ares turned into, the rest of the transformed gear looks so dubious. Let me try again.¡±

    Zhao Yao scanned his surroundings and spotted Cheese from afar. ¡°Thinking about it, the ability to fly is pretty good too.¡±

    Hence, he called Cheese over to feed him a spicy cat strip.

    Cheese said, ¡°Zhao Yao, can you lend Rice Cake the ¡®Lightsaber-shaped hilted torchlight¡¯ to y with?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Rice Cake and asked, ¡°Eh, you want to y with the ¡®Lightsaber-shaped hilted torchlight¡¯?¡±

    ¡°No, I only wanted to y with it just now because I thought he was the Lightsaber.¡± Rice Cake continued with disdain, ¡°I have long passed the age of ying with this ¡®Lightsaber-shaped hilted torchlight¡¯.¡±

    The ¡®Lightsaber-shaped hilted torchlight¡¯ rested quietly on the ground as he sobbed in his heart.

    Zhao Yao went on to feed Cheese with a spicy cat strip. After an explosion of white smoke, a ck cloaky quietly before Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up as he put on the cloak. In the next moment, he was gradually being lifted up before he started flying around in midair. He could fly so fast it was as if he stepped through a Dimension Doorway to reach the sky above Cat Ind.

    Bam!

    Cat Sage, who had transformed into a huge dragon and was flying in midair, was shocked as he saw Zhao Yao breezing past him, dragging huge waves of air along. Zhao Yao shot right into the sky, leaving only a trail of ck shadows after him.

    Freely being able to fly in the sky ted Zhao Yao. He flew up into the clouds, elerated through theyers like Superman and left streaks in the sky.

    Although previously he had used the Deflective Field to stay afloat, it was not truly flying. It was merely like an invisible hand raised him up. The highest he could go was only a few hundred meters.

    Now, with the help of the Flying Cloak, Zhao Yao was truly flying.

    ¡°Not bad.¡± Zhao Yao was very pleased with the Flying Cloak that Cheese had transformed into. ¡°After bing a cloak, Cheese¡¯s powers only let one person to fly, although the flying speed has increased. Furthermore, the cloak now protects me from the pressure of the wind.¡±

    Cheese¡¯s original powers made everything that he touched fly. As a cloak, he let the only wearer fly and the speed of flying improved drastically. When Zhao Yao was flying through the atmosphere he could feel a gentle power wrapping around his body and the air pressure around him disappeared.

    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because all the power is focused on flying one person. Even if there is air resistance, the cloak uses its powers to move the air away.¡±

    A sudden idea came to Zhao Yao and he slightly clenched his whole body and charged towards the sky. He kept on elerating, zooming through the atmosphere as if he wanted to elerate out of the.

    After attaining a certain height Zhao Yao started slowing down.

    ¡°It is getting colder and colder.¡± Zhao Yao started panting. ¡± The air is also getting thinner. It seems like this flying power does not protect me from low temperatures andck of oxygen.¡±

    After figuring out the abilities of the cloak, Zhao Yao flew towards Cat Ind. He managed to return to the Cat Ind fairly quickly and entered the Extradimensional Belly again.

    Once he was back, he was surrounded by supercats. They were meowing non-stop.

    Matcha¡¯s eyes were glowing with eagerness as he looked at the cloak. ¡°Zhao Yao! Can you lend me the cloak to y?¡±

    Rice Cake was jumping and shouting, ¡°That¡¯s my brother! Let me y! Let me y!¡±

    Lightning rushed up and hugged Zhao Yao¡¯s leg. ¡°Zhao Yao you promised Nanako you would take good care of me. You have to let me y first.¡±

    Watching the whole group of supercats stare at him with their big and watery eyes, Zhao Yao had no choice but to say, ¡°Okay, okay. Queue up. Everyone only gets five minutes. Do not fight or drag out your time, okay?¡±

    Matcha was the first to try on the cloak. After he put it on, his whole body started floating up slowly.

    ¡°Meow-ow!¡±

    All the cats envied Matcha flying around the sky like a bird. They were all anticipating their turn to y.

    By then, no one was paying any attention to Fish Ball who was by the side. Fish Ball jumped up and showcased his lightsaber torch: ¡°Hey, it is very interesting here too! Look at this torch that looks like a lightsaber! It is so cool!¡±

    He was promoting it eagerly, ¡°There are also many different colored lights.¡± The lightsaber torch on the floor emitted a white, green, and red light.

    ¡°This torch has many different colors! Do any of you cats want to y with it?¡±

    However, no matter how hard Fish Ball yelled, no one responded. They were all staring at the flying cloak. Because they were all looking at the sky, cats passing by identally kicked Fish Ball¡¯s lightsaber torch.

    ¡°Who kicked me?!¡±

    On the other hand, Zhao Yao was very satisfied with the Flying Cloak¡¯s abilities. He thought of Rice Cake, ¡°As Cheese¡¯s sister, Rice Cake shouldn¡¯t be too bad right?¡±

    After promising Rice Cake that she would be second to y the Flying Cloak, Zhao Yao fed her a spicy strip. When the white smoke cleared, a shining silver Katana appeared in front of him.

    ¡°This!¡± Zhao Yao raised the silver Katana. As a thought cross his mind, a thick mist shed past the Katana¡¯s de and the Katana started glowing.

    Rice Cake started eximing, ¡°Ahhhhhh! This is amazing! I am experiencing a hundred thousand vibrations per second!¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled and walked towards the steel columns. He wielded the high-frequency knife and sliced through the steel columns like they were tofu. In fact, Zhao Yao did not even use much strength.

    ¡°The power of this high-frequency knife is far better than the one Lin Chen used.¡± Zhao Yao marveled, ¡°The one that Lin Chen used at most vibrated ten to twenty thousand per second. Although Rice Cake can only wield one power now, by being able to vibrate a hundred thousand times per second, she can cut through everything in nature.

    He could already see himself wearing the Flying Cloak, holding the Xuan-Yuan Sword in his right hand and the high-frequency knife in his left. He got really excited and wanted to go out for a fight immediately.

    ¡°It¡¯s so cool.¡±

    Zhao Yao was thinking, ¡°If I activate the Deflective Field too, then I will have both a very high attack and defence in addition to fast movement speed. If I change to Time Freeze then my attack damage will be extremely high.¡±

    Zhao Yao was very satisfied with the equipment that Rice Cake and Cheese had transformed into. Looking at the Spicy Cat Strips in his hands, there were 23 of them left. He had used five of them as an experiment.

    ¡°The 23 spicy cat strips left should be enough. I will use more when I get more Spicy Cat Strips from the lucky draw.¡± Zhao Yao thought about it and was satisfied with his n. Before obtaining more Spicy Cat Strips, he would not experiment with them anymore.

    Rice Cake had turned back into a cat and was wearing the Flying Cloak. She flew around happily.

    ...

    While Zhao Yao was preparing for the big fight of the following day, Midnight had turned the factory into an enormous drug processing factory and fortress.

    Old K smiled proudly and pointed at the map of the factory. ¡°The entire factory has been filled with toxic gas. No matter who enters the factory, life and death will no longer be in their hands.¡±

    Midnight nodded. Old K had the power to create dozens of exotic toxins. The toxin he used now was colorless and odorless. Furthermore, Old K could control this toxin to render unconsciousness anyone he wanted. It was the best defensive weapon for plotting against others.

    As he spoke, Old K looked behind and said, ¡°There are also the 15 apostles who will patrol the factory regrly. They will spot any intruders instantly. Of course, they will also help in transporting the Divine Catmint.¡±

    Behind Midnight, Old K, and Lang Gou stood 15 men and women. They looked emotionless and cold, standing upright without any movement. They looked like robots or even statues. Throughout Old K and Midnight¡¯s conversation, they had not even blinked which made them seem even more inhuman.

    Every time Old K saw these apostles, they sent shivers down his spine.

    Whenever Old K looked at Doll¡¯s apostles he felt uneasy.

    That is because it was very clear that they only looked human. Under their skin was not flesh and blood but metalized bones with electric signals shing and electric currents flowing through them. Even their thoughts were controlled by a central processor.

    Doll¡¯s powers were to change himself into a robot. Hence, his apostles could make use of different metals and change themselves into robots forever. They obtained superhumanbat strength. In exchange, they became more and more indifferent until theypletely lost the ability to feel emotions, turning intoplete killing machines.

    The only way to control these robots was for Doll to install a control program inside of them.

    Doll¡¯s ability to transform apostles into robots was very intimidating. Their only limit was that arge number of resources were needed toplete each transformation and only apostles could attain such powers.

    If there were enough resources and apostles then the threat that Doll posed to the human world was much higher than the King of Death.

    In order to capture this robotic supercat, Ivory had sent out an army of apostles and made several sacrifices before finally seeding.

    At this moment, Doll was imprisoned by various means. Only an order from the King of Death could activate Doll¡¯s powers temporarily.

    ¡°That is great. With all of you here, I doubt anyone can break into this factory.¡± Lang Gou shrugged his shoulders. ¡°Anyways I am of no help in this area, so, it will all depend on you guys.¡±

    Midnight said calmly, ¡°We need to expand our market reach before the government discovers us. Except for Big White and the rest, we need to control more supercats to help us promote our goods. This way, by the time the government realizes what we¡¯re doing and tries to stop us, it will be toote.¡±

    Old Kughed. ¡°I thought of that long ago. Last night, I hired a new bunch of supercats. These guys would do anything just to get their hands on the Divine Catmint.

    ...

    The next day, the time for the negotiation was finally there.

    In the Extradimensional Belly, Zhao Yao wore the Flying Cloak and carried both the Xuan-Yuan Sword and Murasama de on his belt.

    He did not want to waste his remaining 20 Spicy Cat Strips so the equipment he had was more than enough. Elizabeth, Lightning, Roly Poly, and other supercats were all lying on him, hidden by his power of invisibility and and the Deflective Field.

    Standing in front of the mirror, Zhao Yao told Roly Poly, ¡°Make all the cats invisible.¡±

    Looking at the ck robe he was wearing, Zhao Yao nodded his head and said, ¡°Remember to keep my head invisible. Don¡¯t forget that, it has to stay invisible.¡±

    Roly Poly was in charge of keeping them invisible; Zhao Yao was in charge of the Deflective Field and Elizabeth was responsible for the illusions.

    Zhao Yao did not bring Red Packet because he was a nonbat cat. He asked Elizabeth to use her illusions to disguise herself as Li Hua, Dust Ball, and Fish Ball to meet Big White. Big White brought them to an abandoned factory in the suburbs.

    Not long after he entered the factory, Old K stared at the surveince screen andughed coldly. ¡°Who is this guy?¡±

    Midnight turned his head and frowned. ¡°Big White said she was bringing four supercats. Why is it a human?¡±

    ¡°It may be some kind of power.¡± Lang Gou said, ¡°He disguised himself as a supercat in front of Big White to be brought in.¡± He pointed to the surveince screen and asked, ¡°But what happened to his head?¡±

    The three of them looked at the screen. ck robe, headless...

    The three of them looked at each other and Midnight said hesitatingly, ¡°This guy is the headless horseman?¡±

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if he really is the headless horseman or not.¡± Old Kughed menacingly. ¡°We will know once we catch him and interrogate him.¡±

    Midnight did not reply. He looked at a humanoid and asked, ¡°Number 1, can you analyze what this person looks like without the invisibility power.¡±

    All the surveince cameras in this factory had been installed by the humanoids. Furthermore, these guys had a powerful central processing unit, CCTVs and other electronic devices. That was why Midnight asked them this question.

    The humanoid named Number 1 was silent for a while like he was processing something. Then, he said, ¡°We have used an infrared device to scan the guy.¡±

    While he spoke, Number 1 walked towards aptop and stretched out a finger, which after undergoing a series of transformations became a thumb drive. He inserted it into the USB port of theptop.

    ¡°This is a model of his facial features ording to the data retrieved.¡±

    After a short while, a blurry and simple 3D avatar appeared on the screen of theptop.

    However, the hardware of theptop and Number 1 were not of the best quality and the infrared device was not very precise. Theptop could not give an urate depiction of Zhao Yao¡¯s facial features and the model looked shabby.

    Looking at the shabby 3D model, Lang Gou¡¯s eyes narrowed.

    ¡°This guy, he looks so familiar. He is... is...¡± He scratched his ears as his mind searched for the people whom he had seen before.

    Midnight looked at him and asked, ¡°Is it one of the suspects?¡±

    Upon hearing this, Lang Gou¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°The owner of Cat Cat caf¨¦! He is the owner of the Cat caf¨¦!¡±

    Old K¡¯s eyes lit up too. He rubbed his chin and looked at the model. ¡°It does look like that guy. This means that this guy could be the real headless horseman? The person we caught based on the intel given by ¡®someone¡¯ could be a fake?¡±

    Speaking of this, he looked at Midnight mockingly and said, ¡°At least we are very lucky. This guy came to us himself.¡±

    Lang Gou pped his palms together and said, ¡°Wasn¡¯t the Headless Horseman a chivalrous man? He must have heard about the Divine Catmint and wanted to arrest us.¡±

    ¡°He is asking for it.¡± Old K sniggered, ¡°Leave it to me. The moment he entered this factory, he already lost.¡±

    Lang Gou walked out leisurely and said, ¡°Then, Old K it is all up to you now. I will cover you from the back and rx.¡±

    Midnight frowned and slowly disappeared into the air. ¡°Don¡¯t be overconfident about this. He is the Cat King of the Jianghai District after all.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t care if he is the Cat King or the headless horseman.¡± Old Kughed coldly. ¡°Once they have been poisoned by me, their lives are no longer theirs.¡±

    Old K was responsible for approaching Zhao Yao from the front, while Lang Gou and Midnight would help him from the sides.

    After seeing Big White and the four cats behind him, he couldn¡¯t help but exim at how real the illusion looked.

    The first thing he said was: ¡°Headless Horseman, you are dead.¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao who was sping his nose under the cover of the illusion stopped immediately.

    ¡°This guy can see through my illusion? So he can see what I look like right now?¡±

    Old Kughed coldly and activated the toxin.

    ¡°Huh? Why hasn¡¯t he showed up yet? Does losing consciousness not end the illusion?¡± Old K frowned and walked forward to search for the Headless Horseman.

    Zhao Yao was wearing his Flying Cloak, had Xuan-Yuan Sword on one side of his waist and Murasama de on the other side. He also activated the Deflective Field. After all, Ares had turned into Xuan-Yuan Sword and to maintain this Supercat armor made up of so many supercats, he needed the Deflective Field.

    Shielded by the Deflective Field, Zhao Yao and the supercats were not poisoned by Old K¡¯s toxins.

    As he watched Old K try his luck at searching for him, Zhao Yao¡¯s face fell. He told the cats telepathically, ¡°Close your eyes. I am going tounch my continuous attack.¡±

    After Matcha, Elizabeth, Roly Poly, and the rest had closed their eyes, Zhao Yao activated the first step of his triple attack: The Paralysis Ring.

    ¡°Paralyze, paralyze, paralyze!¡±

    Apanied by a weird noise, a small red dot appeared on the factory floor and attracted Old K¡¯s attention immediately.

    Old K was attracted to the dot uncontrobly. Soon, his body started moving by itself.

    ¡°What ... happened?¡±

    Bang! After the first step, his steps got faster and faster until he was running on fours. He chased after the red dot like a cat.

    When Zhao Yao moved his right hand, theser beam from the Paralysis Ring would move on the floor. Then, Old K would react like a cat and chase after theser beam frantically.

    Next, Lang Gou, who was hiding near the side, shot out and chased after the beam with Old K.

    ¡°What is happening?¡± Old K raged. ¡°Lang Gou why are you chasing after the red dot too?¡±

    ¡°How would I know?¡± Lang Gou panicked. ¡°I cannot control myself.¡±

    Whenever Zhao Yao moved his right hand, the two of them would chase after the red dot.

    In fact, Midnight was also out and chasing the red dot along with the two of them. It was just that he had activated his Virtual Spirit-Body. He was transparent so no one could see him.

    Matcha pointed at the two of them and said, ¡°Look at the two of them. Don¡¯t they look like dogs?¡±

    Zhao Yao easily controlled them with the Paralysis Ring. He asked Elizabeth to stop her illusion and showed himself.

    He was dressed all in ck. His ck cloak fluttered in the wind like a flickering me, whipping the air as if F¨±jin was blowing at it.

    On his waist were two swords, one gold and one silver. There was nothing above his neck.

    After being satisfied with how handsome he looked as the Headless Horseman, Zhao Yao looked at them and asked, ¡°The poisonous catmint is manufactured by you right? Do you have any other aplices?¡±

    Lang Gou shouted, ¡°Old K activate the toxin!¡±

    ¡°I activated it long ago!¡± Old K¡¯s face turned solemn.¡±The toxins are useless against them. They are not reacting to them at all.¡±

    ¡°Just tell me, where are you all from?¡± Zhao Yao looked at the two of them and said, ¡°How dare you sell drugs in my territory?¡±

    Both of them clenched their teeth and ruthlessness shed in their eyes. They remained silent, believing that they had not lost yet.

    At the same time, the humanoids realized that the situation was not right andunched an attack. Although the Paralysis Ring was in use, it was useless against these humanoids.

    The first humanoids to attack were the two who waited from the towers and the water tank.

    The two humanoids each held a Barrett M82. They aimed at Zhao Yao¡¯s head and pulled the trigger immediately.

    Two armor piercing bullets sped at 880 metres per second or more towards Zhao Yao.

    The bullets were capable of piercing through 20 mm of steel. The bullets pierced through theyers of sound barriers and hit the Deflective Field mercilessly.

    This was the weapon used in war against armor targets. Now that it was used against a human, the destruction of said human body would be ghastly.

    The bullets had a terrifying force. Under normal circumstances, even the Deflective Field could not stop it. Zhao Yao could only watch the bullets approach closer and closer towards his head.

    The Deflective Field could only dy them for 0.3 seconds or 0.5 seconds. But, for Zhao Yao, who had the power of five cats, it was enough.

    Watching the bullet appear in front of him suddenly, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes turned cold. He tilted his head to the side and took a step forward. The Deflective Field deflected the bullets as they traveled past his shoulders andnded deeply in the ground.

    ¡°Wow, using a sniper rifle to shoot at me?¡± Zhao Yao narrowed his eye looking like a predator who caught his prey. ¡°Since you shot me, prepare to take a blow from my sword.¡±

    Xuan-Yuan Sword, transformed into by Ares, was already in his hands. Then, with both of his hands, he raised the sword and shed down. The wind and thunder sounded through the air and a violent sword aura charged out from his gesture.

    Bam!

    A terrifying sword aura that was 10 meters long shed across the sky like a lightning bolt and cut towards a tower not far away.

    Everyone was astonished.

    With a loud rumble, the entire tower copsed. Only cement and gravel were left where the tower stood.

    ¡°What a powerfully destructive force.¡± Old K¡¯s mind was filled with disbelief. ¡°This destruction got to be equivalent to a missile.¡±

    Without even turning his head, Zhao Yao shed towards the water tower nearby. Crushed by the sword aura, the entire water tower copsed. Along with the straps of metal, the water also showered down like light rain.

    While Zhao Yao was taking care of the two humanoids, the rest of the humanoids had all taken their positions andunched an attack at the same time.

    First, two rockets exploded on top of Zhao Yao¡¯s head at the same time.

    Then, 11 humanoids simultaneously charged from the roof, windows, doors and from behind the pir. They were so uniform in their movement that it felt like they had done it a thousand times. In the same 0.1 seconds, all 11 of them pointed their right hand at Zhao Yao. Suddenly, their palms started transforming and soon became 11 electromaic rifles which fired metallic waves.

    This round of attack almost immediately followed the previous one. It was as if the humanoids did not care about if thest round of attack was sessful or not, they just attacked.

    The humanoids¡¯ electromaic rifles used the electromaic eleration to fire the bullets. This technology was more advanced than most high-tech weapons owned by many countries. Every bullet¡¯s prative power was about the same as the armor piercing bullet shot by a sniper rifle. In that instant, tens of thousands of bullets flew towards Zhao Yao. Even a tank would have been blown up.

    The Deflective Field was no match for this type of attack. It would be torn apart.

    Zhao Yao was not intending to receive this kind of attack¡¯s impact either.

    Dust Ball opened a Dimension Portal and Zhao Yao took a step back. Dust Ball opened the portal where Zhao Yao had taken a step. This smooth cooperation between them was long familiar.

    At the same time that Zhao Yao entered the Dimension Portal, another Dimension Portal opened in another part of the factory.

    Two Dimension Portals. One to enter and one to exit.

    The rocket exploded into tiny fireballs which flew through the Dimension Portal and went towards the humanoid who was on the other side.

    The metallic waves fired from the electromaic rifle also flew into one Dimension Portal and exited out of another.

    Boom! All the bullets surged in the factory and rows of bullet holes appeared on the wall. The walls copsed one by one. Even the steel columns were prated. Soon, the whole building was on the verge of copsing.

    Two humanoids exploded and became metal scraps on the floor, after being pierced by multiple armor-piercing bullets

    Old K started shouting, ¡°Stop! Stop immediately! He has dimensional powers!¡± After watching the bullets fly around chaotically creating multiple holes on the wall, Old K¡¯s heart almost stopped beating.

    ¡°He has such strong dimensional powers. Looks like ordinary weapons are useless against him.¡± Old K¡¯s thoughts raged, ¡°This Headless Horseman is the nemesis of all modern weapons.¡±

    Whenever Zhao Yao¡¯s right hand moved, the Paralysis Ring¡¯sser beam would also move. Even when in such danger, Old K had to run around the factory to chase after the red dot. He almost died from the fright.

    Furthermore, these humanoids were his enemies as they were made of metal. His toxins could not force the humanoids to stop. He could only resort to shouting.

    On the other hand, Lang Gou¡¯s face was pale and his mind was a mess. ¡°Compared to these humanoids, the Headless Horseman is a true war machine. He has the destructive power of a bomb and an imprable defence due to his dimensional powers. We actually have to fight against such a monster?¡±

    ¡°Wow, so they are all humanoids? No wonder they are so fierce.¡± Zhao Yao stood in the Dimension Portal and watched the bullets fly across the factory. Then, he raised the golden sword and shed the air four times.

    Suddenly there were four golden shes and four sword auras rushed towards the four humanoids like four golden dragons. They were followed by a brutal force which swallowed the four humanoids whole and flew out.

    The four violent sword auras violently charged in four different directions. Along with the humanoid, the sword auras wrecked the walls of the factory, leaving behind a pile of debris. After crashing through the walls, the sword auras continued charging for a few hundred meters beforeing to a stop.

    The next moment, the humanoid brushed the rubble from his body and dashed towards Zhao Yao. By then, the majority of the artificial skin on its body had peeled off, exposing his metallic body.

    ¡°What? That tough?¡± Zhao Yao was slightly shocked. These humanoid bodies were a lot tougher than expected. The sword aura from the Deflective Field was not enough to cut them, but the electromaic armor-piercing bullets could.

    Although Deflective Field¡¯s overall power was stronger than armor piercing bullets, it didn¡¯t have the same kind of prative power.

    Zhao Yao turned his head and saw that the humanoids who had been hit on the pir and the water tower could still fight. Their artificial skin was torn apart. They were two silver skeletons who charged towards Zhao Yao.

    Meanwhile, the humanoids had noticed that something was amiss. They stopped their attack instantly. An electric signal was transmitted to their processor.

    ¡°Target has dimensional powers, far range attacks are useless.¡±

    ¡°Closebat.¡±

    Having a digitized mind allowed them to think and act at the same time. Almost all the guns stopped firing instantly. Four humanoids who charged Zhao Yao like leopards. In their digitized eyes shined a thirst for blood.

    Old K was pleased with what he saw. ¡°These humanoids are made of Chogokin. They are hard to destroy with normal weapons. Looks like Headless Horseman is currently having trouble destroying them. We need to find a way to end the control this red dot has on us. Then, we can attack this monster together with the humanoids.¡±

    Every step the humanoids took, the cement floor crumbled. It provided them with a lot of potential energy which they used to charge towards Zhao Yao. Each humanoid had a poisoned bay. They were like four poisonous snakes. They each took an unusual path to attack the vital spots on Zhao Yao¡¯s body. They passed through the Dimension Portal like it was a phantom.

    ¡°Asking for death.¡± Zhao Yao frowned. The Xuan-Yuan Sword in his hand had be the Murasama de. Zhao Yao reached for the de and sliced forward.

    Murasama de pierced the humanoid¡¯s chest as if it were tofu. Then Zhao Yao turned his de and sliced through it. The humanoid¡¯s body was sliced into two like a piece of cheese and fell onto the floor.

    Upon seeing this scene, Old K and Lang Gou were stunned and howled in their minds. ¡°Another new power? How many powers does this guy actually have?¡±

    The Murasama de was also immediately registered in all the processors of the humanoids.

    The red light in the humanoid¡¯s eyes narrowed. They were like frightened rabbits as they crushed the cement floor uniformly and jumped a dozen meters away from Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Escape?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s sigh rang in everyone¡¯s ears. In the next moment, time was stopped.

    Silver des shed through the air like flowers. Three jumping humanoids crumbled into pieces of metal and fell onto the floor.

    In four consecutive attacks, four humanoids who were like the Terminator with thetest weapons were cut apart by Zhao Yao. Old K and Lang Gou who were watching felt chills down their spine.

    Before one metal humanoid fell onto the floor, the Dimension Portal had already brought Zhao Yao in front of another humanoid.

    The humanoids had arge amount ofbat data installed in them. Theirbat instincts were better than any Special Forces in the world.

    With Zhao Yao in front of him, the humanoid had already fired his electromaic rifle at Zhao Yao¡¯s head. At the same time, his leg kicked hard against the ground. He wanted to fire and avoid Zhao Yao at the same time.

    Zhao Yao ignored its attacks and let the bullets pass through the Dimension Portal like phantoms. All he did was slice them with his de.

    The humanoid tried to block with his arm but his arm, neck, along with his chest were sliced open by the de.

    Before the body had fallen to the ground, Zhao Yao once again appeared in front of the next humanoid.

    His figure flickered like an evil spirit in the dark and the devil from hell. Even such strong and powerful opponents like the humanoids were just like ordinary humans to him.

    Zhao Yao shed around the factory with the Dimension Portal. From time to time there were bright shes from the de. In a short while, another three humanoidsy on the floor in several pieces.

    At the same time, Zhao Yao ears picked up on a trembling sound. Then, he saw that the remaining seven humanoids were retreating while carrying Old K and Lang Gou.

    Evidently, the Paralysis Ring¡¯s effective time period was up. They had returned to normal.

    ¡°What is going on? What are the people in the intelligence department doing?¡± Old K¡¯s face was distorted as he yelled. ¡°Except for illusion and invisibility, they got none of the other powers right.¡±

    ¡°All our attacks were useless against him. Even the humanoids couldn¡¯t stop him.¡± Lang Gou panicked. The next moment, he saw Zhao Yao chasing after them and he shouted, ¡°Hurry! He is catching up.¡±

    As the time stopped and resumed, a silver lotus appeared in the air from the silver shes of the de. The humanoid who was engulfed in the lotus cracked and was torn into pieces.

    A sly smile appeared on Old K and Lang Gou¡¯s faces.

    Compared to Old K and Lang Gou who were in life-threatening danger, Midnight who was in his Virtual Spirit-Body was a lot safer. He watched the entire battle calmly.

    He also chased the red dot, it was just that he was not in danger.

    While he was running after the red dot, he also watched the Headless Horseman carefully and analyzed his powers.

    ¡°The golden sword has a sword aura that can attack at a broad range¡±

    ¡°He has a defensive field surrounding him, but the defensive field cannot block an attack from the armor-piercing bullet.¡±

    ¡°Dimensional powers? When he is hiding inside a dimensional portal any attacks from this dimension cannot touch him?¡±

    ¡°The silver katana has strong cutting abilities. Even the chogokin on the humanoids couldn¡¯t stop it.¡±

    ¡°The sudden de shes? I can¡¯t identify them.¡±

    Every time Midnight saw a new power which the Intelligence department had not recorded, he was appalled.

    ¡°How powerful is the Headless Horseman ?¡± Midnight¡¯s mind was analyzing what he had just seen. ¡°Although he is strong, he isn¡¯t invincible.¡±

    ¡°The golden sword¡¯s aura and the silver de¡¯s sharpness seems to be abilities of the weapons themselves. They¡¯re nothing to worry about.¡±

    ¡°The most troublesome power is the dimensional power.¡± Midnight thought to himself. ¡°Even so, he is not invincible. Although he has avoided all our attacks, the fact that he can cut the humanoids with the silver de means he can still be attacked.¡±

    ¡°When the de is cutting his opponent, he cannot use the force field to defend himself anymore. He has to let the de out.¡±

    ¡°The chance to attack him is the moment heunches an attack.¡±

    ¡°The only problem with taking advantage of an attack is the silver de.¡±

    Although Midnight had made some small mistakes when analyzing Zhao Yao¡¯s powers, he still arrived at the correct conclusion.

    ¡°It is not easy to make use of such a short moment. If we fail, we will be cut into several pieces.¡± Midnight sighed. ¡°Luckily, there is someone here who can do it effortlessly.¡±

    When they were fighting, Midnight spoke through his walkie-talkie and headset, ¡°Old K spread your toxins all over the humanoid.¡±

    ¡°Lang Gou, if he is poisoned, get ready to attack.¡±

    In Midnight¡¯s analysis, when the Headless Horseman attacked the humanoid, the body of the de was unprotected by the force field. This meant that Old K¡¯s toxin could spread onto the de and when the Headless Horseman hid again, the toxin could spread from the de onto the Headless Horseman.

    His analysis made sense but he had neglected the fact that the silver katana was a Murasama de. That is because Midnight, Old K, and Lang Gou didn¡¯t know that it was a Murasama de. The humanoids who knew had no chance to tell them.

    With a de that vibrated a hundred thousand times per second, there is no way the toxins could spread onto the sword.

    Although Midnight¡¯s analysis was notpletely correct his decision was the right one: to ask Old K to activate his toxins.

    Originally, after activating the toxins several times and not seen any reaction from the Headless Horseman, Old K had given up on using his toxins. Therefore, Zhao Yao had no idea that the air in the factory was filled with toxins.

    Hence, when Zhao Yao was walking around the factory and attacking the humanoids, he was inevitably contaminated.

    When Zhao Yao activated the force field, he could concurrently not activate Time Freeze.

    So Midnight¡¯s thorough but wed analysis had led to an urate result.

    Controlled by Old K¡¯s powers, Zhao Yao fell unconscious in the Dimension Portal and fell to the ground.

    This was the battle of superpowers, too much unknown and yet too much intel. Several different powers ovepped. Even a veteran like Zhao Yao had moments where he was careless. He did not even know that he had been contaminated with the toxin because of his contact with the air during Time Freeze.

    Lang Gou rushed forward but his hand slid past Zhao Yao¡¯s body. ¡°I can¡¯t attack him.¡±

    ¡°He can maintain the sub-space defence even when he is unconscious?¡± Midnight ordered, ¡°Old K kill him.¡± After the fight just now, Midnight knew that except for Old K¡¯s toxin, they had no other way to attack the Headless Horseman.

    Old K hesitated, ¡°God of Death wants him alive and I already have control over him.¡±

    ¡°Kill him immediately!¡± Midnight yelled, ¡°He is too dangerous and if he is given any chance to retaliate we are all going to die.¡±

    Old K thought about it and agreed promptly. ¡°I understand.¡± He pointed his palm in Zhao Yao¡¯s direction and clenched it.

    ¡°Toxin explosion!¡±

    The toxin umted in Zhao Yao¡¯s body and his entire body turned green. The supercats around him were pointing at him and discussing.

    Matcha said, ¡°Look, Zhao Yao has turned green.¡±

    ¡°He was healthy just now. Why is he turning green?¡± Elizabeth asked curiously.

    Roly Poly was startled and jumped off Zhao Yao. ¡°I think he has been poisoned. In games, they look like this when they are poisoned.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay. He activated Time Freeze just now.¡± Matcha answered rxedly. ¡°Watch, he may be dead now but he will be revived in a short while. Everyone step away from him. He will definitely be aliveter.¡±

    The moment Zhao Yao¡¯s heart stopped beating, Time Distortion was activated. Zhao Yao¡¯s body returned to the state before he was poisoned and the world around him stood still.

    Zhao Yao opened his eyes and it was filled with fury.

    ¡°Dead again?¡± He red towards Old K and Lang Gou. ¡°I am going to kill the both of you.¡±

    In the frozen world, Matcha tapped on the immobilized Elizabeth¡¯s shoulders and said, ¡°See, I told you. Every time he revives he¡¯s angry. So angsty.¡±

    Zhao Yao walked in front of Old K and kicked his groin hard. Then, he pped Old K twice and assaulted Lang Gou who was at the side. After doing all this, he still felt anger in his chest.

    ¡°Damn it. It is so unsatisfying if they have no reaction.¡±

    ¡°But, if I unfreeze the time, would I die again? I don¡¯t even know what attack theyunched just now.¡±

    He rubbed his chin and still couldn¡¯t let things rest. He opened the diamond hall on the front page.

    ¡°Cat Princess¡¯s Dress,e out now.¡±

    Zhao Yao spent five diamonds and wore the Cat Princess Dress. For the next 10 minutes, he could activate two powers at once.¡±

    Then, he spent another diamond on a power-up card.

    He activated the Ultra Rapid Regeneration and went back to the Dimension Portal to take Xuan-Yuan Sword and Murasama de.

    After doing all of this, Zhao Yao exchanged his Time Freeze for Elizabeth¡¯s illusion powers.

    As his Time Freeze changed to illusion, the world started moving again.

    Old K, Lang Gou, and Midnight were all stunned beyond words when they saw Zhao Yao appear again in a dress. As Roly Poly had left, Zhao Yao¡¯s head was no longer invisible.

    Looking at the shocked faces of Old K and Lang Gou, Zhao Yaoughed coldly and pointed at himself. ¡°This is my strongest form. Now that you have seen it, do you know what this means?

    ¡°You guys are dead.¡±

    ¡°No one on Earth can save you today.¡±

    ¡°Poison!¡±

    Old K could not understand why Zhao Yao, who had just died, was alive again, wielding two swords and dressed in a female costume.

    However, he understood the danger of his opponent. He roared as he wed the air in the direction of Zhao Yao.

    The poison ability was fully activated, however, Zhao Yao only let out a whimper. He was immune due to his Ultra Rapid Regeneration ability.

    ¡°Still trying to poison me?¡± Zhao Yao held the Xuan-Yuan Sword in one hand and smashed the Old K¡¯s face using the back of the sword. Old K screamed in pain and copsed to the ground. Zhao Yao rushed forward and continued smashing him, wielding the Xuan-Yuan Sword with an imposing aura. Old K was so badly hammered that he crawled all over the ce. His mouth was full of blood and he screamed as he crawled, frantically looking for a ce to hide.

    ¡°Poison!¡± Zhao Yao pped the Xuan-Yuan Sword on Old K¡¯s face.

    ¡°You are vicious.¡± He screamed as Zhao Yao stepped on the bottom half of his body.

    ¡°Try poisoning me again,¡± Zhao Yao taunted.

    Lang Gou was dumbstruck as he watched. He didn¡¯t know why this scene invoked a terrifying primary school memory of when his father chased him down ten streets after the parent-teacher meeting.

    The humanoid robots were not as sentimental. They raised their guns and fired.

    Armor-piercing bullets prated Zhao Yao¡¯s chest, shoulders, and brain... However, while the bullets prated his body, the wounds were already healed. Once Ultra Rapid Regeneration was activated, unless Zhao Yao¡¯s entire body was destroyed in one moment, it was not possible to kill him.

    The armor-piercing bullets were inferior to normal bullets. Normal bullets were able to stay longer in his body, thus impeding Ultra Rapid Regeneration.

    Zhao was enjoying the wave of pleasure from the volley of bullets and let off Old K for a while. He turned around, pointed his Murasama de at the robots and shouted, ¡°Try firing again!¡±

    The robots ignored him and fired a few rounds thatnded in his brain.

    ¡°Gutsy!¡± Zhao Yao activated Time Freeze and rushed forward, cutting and shing in a frenzy.

    Old K and Lang Gou felt a sh pass by their eyes. The limbs and torsos of the remaining seven robots were cut off, leaving the heads intact. Seven pairs of electronic eyes blinked and watched them helplessly.

    Old K cried as he said, ¡°Gosh, he¡¯s too strong.¡±

    Zhao Yao rushed towards Old K and kicked his face. ¡°Aren¡¯t you the poisoner? Try poisoning me again.¡±

    Old K was given such a beating that he tossed and turned screaming in pain. His entire body was swollen and fresh blood dripped from the corners of his mouth.

    ¡°Zhao Yao!¡± Old K still remembered his name. At this instant, he was ovee with anger and shame. He shouted in a shrill voice, ¡°You are too much, we are King of Death¡¯s men. Though you have beaten us today, you will not have such a happy ending!¡±

    ¡°King of Death?¡± Zhao Yao smashed the Xuan-Yuan Sword on Old K¡¯s face again, removing his wisdom tooth as well as filling his mouth with crimson blood. ¡°King of Death still?¡±

    ¡°What is so great about this King of Death?¡±

    Zhao Yao grabbed Old K¡¯s head and abruptly smashed it against the floor, causing Old K to howl in pain. The bridge of his nose waspletely broken. ¡°Let him find me, if he darese, I will hammer him as well.¡±

    Old K was in such agony, he was unable to utterplete sentences.

    ¡°Ho ah.¡± Lang Gou finally activated his own ability.

    Both Lang Gou and Zhao Yao flickered briefly and reappeared in a pure white dimension.

    Zhao Yao had transformed into an orange cat while Lang Gou had be a strong Pas cat.

    Looking at the surprised Zhao Yao, Lang Gou said, ¡°Hehe, my ability is... drawing my opponents into this dimension and changing them into cats. However, you will be ordinary cats while I be the ferocious Pas cat or even a Lynx cat. I¡¯ll use my rich experience in fighting cats to win...¡±

    Zhao Yao did not say a word. He rushed forward and smacked the head of the Pas cat (Lang Gou¡¯s avatar) with his paw.

    It was only a smack and yet Lang Gou was reeling and almost fainted from it. ¡°You...¡±

    ¡°I have the strength equivalent to five cats and you want to fight with me?¡± Zhao Yao charged at the Pas cat and started biting and tearing.

    A few momentster, Zhao Yao and Lang Gou had returned to the material world. Zhao Yao looked intact, however, Lang Gou was in a pathetic state with tattered clothing and a blood-stained body.

    Old K¡¯s face was full of despair. Zhao Yao once again stepped on his face and said, ¡°Where is King of Death? Get him toe here. Last time he talked to me, it was cordial and he even called me his big brother. A little hoodlum like you dares stir up trouble?¡±

    Zhao Yaoshed Old K¡¯s face with the Xuan-Yuan Sword as he uttered word by word, ¡°Do you know that you¡¯re a little hoodlum?¡±

    Lang Gou stealthily backed off at what he saw. Zhao Yao, who was beating Old K up, pointed to Lang Gou without looking at him and said, ¡°Try and take another step back.¡±

    Lang Gou instantly froze in his tracks as he looked at Old K whose face was full of tears and blood. He did not dare to leave and yet he did not want to stay any longer.

    In the Dimension Portal, the supercats were in show-watching mode.

    Matcha said, ¡°That Old K was beaten into such a pathetic state, worse than what we sawst time. Zhao Yao cannot be offended. See, he¡¯s not moving! Is he dead?¡±

    Elizabeth shook her head and said, ¡°No, he¡¯s moving again. Tsk, tsk, Zhao Yao will not let him die so easily. Moreover, Zhao Yao hasn¡¯t used his power of illusion yet. He still has more to endure.¡±

    Roly Poly stood up, pointed excitedly at Old K and said, ¡°Everyone take a look. His nose seems broken... tsk tsk tsk, very pitiful.¡±

    Caesar didn¡¯t dare look so he covered his eyes and said, ¡°Have they finished fighting? Why do I feel my head hurting again?¡±

    After seriously wounding Old K, Zhao Yao pointed his finger and activated the Shit Wave. Old K felt faeces seep out from the surface of his body. After a painful scream, he vomited white foam,id silently on the ground, and passed out.

    Zhao Yao turned to Lang Gou and said, ¡°Tell me, are there any more of you?¡±

    At this instant, Zhao Yao felt an explosion of pleasure in his cerebrum. Bam! He copsed on the ground.

    This was one of Midnight¡¯s direct moves¡ªputting a stone into Zhao Yao¡¯s brain.

    Looking at Zhao Yao lying on the ground, Midnight took a few steps back and said, ¡°Ultra Rapid Regeneration? Well, bring it on...¡±

    Zhao Yao sprung up from the ground in two seconds. He felt a weight in his brain. Although his cerebrum hadpleted regeneration, the stone still pressed down on it, which exined the heaviness.

    Zhao Yao massaged his head and furrowed his brows. ¡°Why is my head so heavy? What¡¯s in there?¡± Zhao Yao opened his mouth and activated the Extradimensional Belly. The stone in his brain went through his skull and was sucked into the Extradimensional Belly.

    ¡°Suddenly, I feel at ease.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s head spouted a fountain of blood but he felt no pain just a feeling of rxation. In an instant, the wound waspletely healed.

    Looking at the empty factory, Zhao Yao sneered and said, ¡°Hehe, is there another one?¡±

    Although he knew that Zhao Yao was unable to see him, when Zhao Yao¡¯s gaze swept over where he stood, Midnight instantly felt as though cold sweat was seeping from his back.

    ¡°The Ultra Rapid Regeneration of the Headless Horseman is too powerful.¡± Midnight swallowed a few times. When Zhao Yao was hiding his true prowess during the fight and he had the upper hand with one sword and a knife, Midnight felt he had a chance to win.

    Now Zhao Yao had cast away the airs of an idol and was fullymitted to fighting, Midnight saw no chance of winning at all.

    As Midnight was about to retreat, Zhao Yao prepared to leave after he finished saying, ¡°Just you wait!¡±

    Zhao Yao activated Time Freeze ran into the Dimension Portal, which was like a weapon armory. He could obtain various kind of supercats at any time and any location.

    This time, Zhao Yao took out Catherine the Ragdoll cat.

    After dispelling Time Freeze, he lifted Catherine and shouted, ¡°Coward, I am talking to you. Will you dare look at my cat?¡±

    Midnight looked at Catherine almost subconsciously as it is human nature to look over when being called. After looking at Catherine he immediately reacted. This was definitely a trap.

    Before he could turn his head or close his eyes, he fell asleep instantly. He was unable to sustain his ability and his form appeared. He copsed on the ground with a loud bang.

    Even Lang Gou subconsciously turned his head. He fainted and went into a deep sleep.

    All the men deployed by the King of Death had beenpletely defeated by Zhao Yao. He looked at his three prisoners on the ground and captured them using the Extradimensional Belly. He intended to interrogate them properly.

    Elizabeth and Diana took turns activating their abilities, ensuring that the three prisoners had no abilities after sleeping for 24 hours. Then Zhao Yao could start his interrogation without any worries.

    Things rted to the King of Death were of utmost importance so Zhao Yao would not let Old Cat intervene. It was not easy to figure out what a cat was thinking, especially a Chuan Xiao warrior like Old Cat. Zhao Yao could not depend on Old Cat for important issues. He restricted himself to only using Old Cat¡¯s brainwashing ability when he wanted to conveniently tie up loose ends.

    After sending the three of them into the Extradimensional Belly, Zhao Yao disguised himself as the Headless Horseman again and searched the entire factory.

    First, he found arge number of raw materials, tools, and samples of poisonous catmint. He decisively destroyed them with fire.

    After searching for some time, Zhao Yao found another person who looked familiar.

    ...

    In the basement, ck Panther was tied to a chair and aputer screen was ced in front of him. An old fellow on the screenughed and said, ¡°ck Panther, we¡¯ve been chatting cordially for the past few days. We have confirmed on our side that you are not the Headless Horseman. I¡¯m very sorry that my men captured the wrong person.¡±

    ¡°No problem, no problem.¡± ck Panther looked at the avatar of the King of Death on the screen and said, ¡°It is good that you have gotten the facts right. I find you quite familiar and you don¡¯t look like a bad person. Do not capture the wrong person again though. It is fortunate that you met me because if you encounter my headless mentor it will be disastrous.¡±

    King of Death smiled wryly and said, ¡°Yes, it has been hard on you for the past few days. Someone will rescue very soon.¡±

    ¡°Ah? Really?¡± ck Panther looked at the avatar of King of Death on the screen and said, ¡°Will we meet again? Aren¡¯t we already good friends?¡±

    King of Death smiled as he shook his head. ¡°You treated me like a friend? You... aren¡¯t afraid of me?¡±

    ¡°You are so old... what is there to fear?¡± ck Panther looked at the aged figure of King of Death and said matter-of-factly, ¡°You are already quite old. Why are you still messing around with secret societies fighting and killing? Do secret societies have old age insurance? In the future, if you are attacked, it will not be considered a work injury. The medical fees may not be affordable. It is better to retire early.¡±

    The King of Death grinned helplessly. He knew ck Panther was not very bright and that he would not be able to reason with him. So he gave a perfunctory reply, ¡°If I retire, my enemies will find me for revenge.¡±

    ¡°I can shield you.¡± ck Panther said, ¡°From now on, we are brothers. In the future, if you have any issues, I will shield you.¡±

    King of Deathughed heartily as though he had just heard a joke. Then he shook his head and said, ¡°Okay, we are brothers from now on.¡±

    At that time, Zhao Yao opened the basement door. He walked in and stopped for a while after seeing ck Panther. He touched his kidney subconsciously and asked warily, ¡°ck Panther? Why are you here?¡±

    ¡°Headless mentor!¡± ck Panther looked at Zhao Yao as the Headless Horseman and shouted, ¡°Why are you here? Are you rescuing me?¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and intended to turn around and leave. Meanwhile, ck Panther was touched and said, ¡°Headless mentor, I know that you have not forgotten me and you came here especially to rescue me...¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the old person on the screen and asked, ¡°Who are you?¡±

    ¡°Headless Horseman, or should I say, Zhao...¡±

    Once King of Death spoke, Zhao Yao¡¯s thoughts shed and ck Panther fell into darkness as he was deprived of his five senses and could not hear their conversation.

    ¡°Greetings Zhao Yao, I am the King of Death.¡± King of Death said, ¡°Since you are here, this means that Midnight and rest have been defeated?¡±

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes and thought, ¡°The three apostles were able to directly identify me during the fight. Have they already reported my identity to King of Death?¡±

    The two men gazed at each other via theputer screen, scrambling for thoughts.

    The King of Death thought, ¡°ording to the photographs sent from the monitoring console, Zhao Yao¡¯s abilities are terrifying. Even if I have all my apostles here, it will still be a suicide mission. I have to free more supercats to gain morebat prowess before I can defeat him.¡±

    The King of Death had captured numerous apostles and supercats. For example, Doll was a highly threatening supercat and she had the capability to create robots.

    As for apostles like Midnight, Old K, and Lang Gou, their lending of abilities was very limited.

    Once King of Death liberated supercats and lent numerous dangerous abilities to apostles, then his power would expand rapidly and would be harder to control.

    Facing a threat like Zhao Yao, King of Death could not afford to consider too much. Lending much more powerful abilities to apostles and discovering more supercats was his n of action.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao was frantically thinking things through. ¡°My only effective attack against the King of Death is the Sixth Sense power of illusion. Based on its previous effects, if I use the Great Flow of Idleness, the King of Death may perish and the tens of thousands of people under his control will also die. In this case, before I have a better solution, I will not make any moves against him.

    The previous time Zhao Yao had activated the Sixth Sense power of illusion against the King of Death, everything had gotten out of hand and hit the news, which had scared Zhao Yao. Hence, he could not afford to use the Sixth Sense power of illusion against the King of Death rashly.

    Although the Old Cat could be used to counter King of Death, however, Old Cat was born in Chuan Xiao and was an out-and-out rebel. Zhao Yao was wary of Old Cat and would not let him intervene.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°In this case, only...¡±

    The King of Death thought, ¡°The only battle n is...¡±

    Both of them thought, ¡°Rest for a while.¡±

    King of Death: ¡°As long as I¡¯m alive, there is hope. Even if he curses my whole family I will have to endure it. Even if I hide until Yoshihiro Togashi dies. The struggle in life lies in perseverance and patience.¡±

    Zhao Yao: ¡°Temper needs restraint, while avoidance is not a solution. Both are necessary and should be used wisely in order to win. I will avoid King of Death for now and upgrade my powers at a faster pace while in hiding. After I upgrade Elizabeth a few times, defeating the King of Death will be an easy game.¡±

    The King of Deathughed, ¡°Zhao Yao, hah!¡±

    ¡°King of Death!¡± Zhao Yao spat.

    King of Death smiled even wider as he said, ¡°You are one powerful guy. My best apostles were all defeated by you just like that.¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled widely, revealing his sparkling white teeth. ¡°You are the amazing one. I was so secretive about my identity but you exposed me just like that.¡±

    King of Death responded, ¡°We won¡¯t know until we exchange blows, so let¡¯s just leave it for today.¡±

    ¡°Yeah, let¡¯s leave it,¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°I am someone without much ambition. All I do is dawdle around all day. I hate battles the most.¡±

    King of Death said, ¡°Same for me. Just browsing through discussion forums and ying games makes my day. What¡¯s the point of fighting so hard every day, right?¡±

    ¡°Exactly,¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°I don¡¯t understand that either. I hate using violence the most. King of Death, you better not pick a fight with me. I will just run away.¡±

    ¡°Why would I!¡± King of Deathughed, ¡°I was intending to sell Ivory and cash out my stocks to travel around the world. Why would I fight? Let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. My friend is asking to y a round of PUBG with me.¡±

    Zhao Yao respectfully put his fist against his hand and said, ¡°Good luck!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m counting on your good word. See you again.¡±

    ¡°See you next time.¡±

    King of Death ended the conversation with a face full of smiles.

    The moment the conversation ended, both Zhao Yao and King of Death¡¯s face fell.

    ¡°The next time I see you, I will finish you off.¡±

    After ending the conversation with King of Death, Zhao Yao nced at ck Panther before throwing him out on the streets. After that, he swallowed himself back into the Extradimensional Belly.

    Since his identity had been exposed to King of Death, Zhao Yao had many things to do.

    ¡°Dad and Mum are already safe on the Cat Ind, I will go get Zhao Xue. This time I can¡¯t let her find any more excuses, I will make sure to bring her back.¡±

    ¡°I should interrogate King of Death¡¯s three underlings carefully. If I know myself and my enemy, I will never be defeated.¡±

    ¡°The next thing is Elizabeth¡¯s power of illusion. Using the Sixth Sense illusion on King of Death is too risky as it puts thousands of people¡¯s lives in danger. It is too huge a price to pay. But I still have the spicy cat strips. I should give Elizabeth one to try and see if she will be able to deal with King of Death immediately after her transformation.¡±

    Zhao Yao had not attacked King of Death for now as thebat methods he currently had had were too weak. The Great Flow of Idleness was too powerful on the other hand and could disrupt the harmony in the universe. Furthermore, it might not actually be able to kill the King of Death.

    However, if the gear Elizabeth transformed into after eating spicy cat strips could kill King of Death, he would finish him off immediately.

    ...

    Bam!

    A tub of cold water sshed on Old K¡¯s head, waking him up instantly. Once he awoke he felt pain in every inch of his body, especially in his broken nose and the bones in his hands, which made him groan instinctively.

    He forced his eyes open to look at his current situation. He saw two people in front of him. It was Zhao Yao¡¯s cleaners, Matsuo (ex-CEO of the money-lending tform) and Faceless (ex-gang leader of the Mao Gang).

    Faceless scoffed as he said to Old K, ¡°Hey neer, think carefully about what happened. It should be etched in your mind.¡± He was obviously gloating.

    Although he resented Zhao Yao for wiping out the Mao gang, now that he was on Zhao Yao¡¯s side, he felt joy in gloating over the misfortune of others falling at Zhao Yao¡¯s hands.

    Old K¡¯s eyes shed as he recalled what had happened.

    ¡°That guy Zhao Yao knocked me out in the end. What about Lang Gou and Midnight?¡± He raised his head to look at his surroundings and realized that Lang Gou and Midnight were there as well, lying unconscious on the floor.

    ¡°Have we all lost? Even Midnight...¡± Old K could not help but recall every scene of the previous battle.

    When he thought of that, fear rose in his heart uncontrobly. His face turned white and he trembled involuntarily.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, that devil...¡± Old K suddenly felt his body ache more. ¡°Too strong, this guy is too strong. Sword strength, de rays, teleportation, rebirth, and many otherplex powers we could not understand. We actually had to fight a monster like him?¡±

    Thinking about how he had gone to the cat caf¨¦ to provoke him made Old K feel that he had really been courting his own death. Not just him, but the whole of Ivory and King of Death himself. They were all seeking their own deaths.

    Faceless and Matsuo saw Old K¡¯s expression and nced at each other before snickering, ¡°Looks like Boss left a deep impression.¡±

    Matsuo got straight to the point, ¡°Alright, since you get the situation now, just spit it all out. The group that¡¯s backing you guys, the masterminds behind this, why did you guyse to Jianghai? Where the poisonous catminte from? Exin clearly.¡±

    Old K told them everything he knew. In fact, it was very difficult for him to hide anything from them. They already had information about King of Death. What Zhao Yao wanted to know now was more information regarding King of Death and Ivory.

    After that, Matsuo and Faceless woke Lang Gou and Midnight respectively and questioned them one by one.

    Zhao Yao had brought Roly Poly and Elizabeth invisibly along with him. He and Elizabeth controlled Midnight and Lang Gou¡¯s bodies respectively to prevent them from resorting to desperate measures.

    When he heard all that they had said, Zhao Yao silently shook his head, ¡°These three guys know very little.¡± There was nothing he could do even after listening to their ounts.

    Due to the unique powers of King of Death, the civilian, logistics support, and management staff in Ivory were basically just King of Death himself. Although these apostles held high statuses, they were practically uninvolved in daily operations. As long as theypleted missions and fought in battles, they reaped their benefits once their job was done. They naturally knew nothing about King of Death¡¯s secrets.

    As he thought of this, Zhao Yao shook his head and decided to not continue listening. However, he frowned again as he nced at his phone, ¡°Why is Zhao Xue not replying to me? No matter what excuse she gives this time, I will still bring her here.¡± Using the power of illusion, Zhao Yao took away Old K and his trio¡¯s five senses.

    ¡°Elizabeth, I¡¯ll leave these three to you. Turn off their senses for 24 hours. We¡¯ll discuss what to do with them after the illusion wears off.¡±

    ¡°So what should we do after 24 hours? Release them?¡±

    ¡°Definitely not. They will be my cleaners for at least 30 years before they can be released from my prison.¡±

    24 hours after Zhao Yao left, Old K, Lang Gou and Midnight slowly opened their eyes.

    Matsuo stared at them as he said, ¡°Neers, from now on you guys will be in charge of cleaning the cat litter here every day. Boss has a total of more than 160 cats, so the cleanliness of the cat toilet is especially important. All the cat toilets should be cleaned once every two hours. I will do random spot checks, so don¡¯t let me catch you cking off.¡±

    As he said that, Matsuo felt a sense of pride rising.

    ¡°I¡¯m finally not the lowest person here anymore.¡±

    Faceless also sighed, ¡°I can finally stop cleaning pet litter. Cleaning up after 160 cats every day, sweeping the cat litter, wiping off stains... These chores are really not suitable for people.¡±

    Matsuo took Old K and the other two guys for a walk around the Extradimensional Belly. Once the trio had sobered up, they realized that their powers had expired and could not be used anymore. They appeared to be very docile and obedient especially in such an unfamiliar environment.

    Old K and his two friends were awestruck when they saw all kinds of supercats running around, surfing the, and ying games.

    Old K: ¡°Headless Horseman actually has so many cats.¡±

    Lang Gou: ¡°Losing to someone with so many cats is not an injustice, not an injustice at all.¡±

    Matsuo led them to the toilet area, which was lined with dense rows of cat toilets, shocking the trio.

    Midnight gasped, ¡°How many cat toilets are there?¡±

    Matsuo replied, ¡°The 160 cats here are all good cats that love cleanliness and hygiene. Hence, Boss prepared 200 cat toilets for them.¡±

    Midnight was shocked by his words. ¡°200 cat toilets? So that means we have to clean 200 cat toilets every day? How is that possible?¡±

    Matsuo smiled. ¡°I know how you feel. At first, you will feel like it¡¯s an impossible task, but after some time, you wille to realize that living like this is not too bad after all.¡±

    Looking at the cat toilets and the cats walking in and out of them, Old K, Midnight, and Lang Gou knew there was no hope for them.

    At this moment, an orange cat came out of the cat toilet in front of them.

    The orange cat nced briefly at the three of them. Midnight swore he saw a glimpse of contempt sh in the orange cat¡¯s eyes.

    Matsuo quickly greeted the orange cat. ¡°Matcha, you¡¯re done with your business? Have the toilets been clean recently? Are youfortable with using them?¡±

    Matcha nodded pretentiously in Matsuo¡¯s direction and walked off proudly with his chest puffed up.

    Seeing the attitude of this cat, Midnight frowned and said, ¡°What¡¯s this cat¡¯s background? He looks so annoying.¡±

    Matsuo immediately straightened his back and said, ¡°This is Lord Matcha, Boss¡¯ favorite cat. Remember that guys. Don¡¯t ever offend him.¡±

    Seeing that Matcha was already far away, Matsuo said in a low voice, ¡°This cat is very petty and lovesining to Zhao Yao, so be careful around him.¡±

    The trio¡¯s faces fell at his words. Their worth would never be equal to that of a cat here.

    As their senior, Matsuo reminded them, ¡°Remember, don¡¯t say he¡¯s just an orange cat. You must call him a Jianghai Scottish Fold or he¡¯ll get angry.¡±

    Midnight pursed his lips and said, ¡°Surely there¡¯s no need to be so careful.¡±

    ¡°What do you know,¡± Matsuo chided. ¡°Remember, after you enter this ce, forget your past status, experience, and background, those mean nothing here. We are like the ants in this ce, the lowest of the low. We can¡¯t afford to offend any of our cat masters. We must be careful with everything that we do and must always be.¡±

    Midnight did not believe him, ¡°It can¡¯t be that dangerous.¡±

    Right at this moment, a ray of ck light sliced through the sky.

    In the next moment, an explosion was heard as a steel column hit a container near the border, leaving a big hole.

    ¡°Sorry, sorry, my paws slipped,¡± Sphynx cat said as he walked towards the container. He tore apart the metal board of the container with one swipe of his paws to retrieve the steel column.

    Dust was all that was left of the steel column. All he did was lightly pinch the steel dust as if he was making noodles for the steel column to revert to its original shape.

    Elizabeth rolled her eyes. ¡°What¡¯s up with Sphynx cat? Why is he so distracted nowadays? He keeps making mistakes when training. He wouldn¡¯t be able to pay the price if he identally kills me like that.¡±

    ¡°Sister, don¡¯t be angry,¡± Diana said with her phone in her mouth, ¡°Look, the fur on your head is messy now. Fix it before the live streamter.¡±

    Midnight and his trio were dumbstruck by Sphynx cat. Lang Gou pointed at the muscr cat walking on its two hind legs and turned to Matsuo as he said, ¡°What the heck, that is also a cat?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s why I told you guys to be careful,¡± Matsuo said ominously. ¡°Most of the supercats here can easily kill you guys. Alright, time to start cleaning.¡±

    Midnight, Old K, and Lang Gou had never felt like their futures were so bleak before.

    ...

    When Zhao Yao reached Jianghai University, he checked his phone and realized that Zhao Xue had already replied.

    Zhao Xue: ¡°Brother, I¡¯m not in school. You won¡¯t find me even if you go there.¡±

    Zhao Yao raged, texting back, ¡°Then where did you go? I must bring you with me this time. My enemy is after my life now. I can¡¯t let you run around outside.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not running around.¡± Zhao Xue, who was on the Cat Ind in their parents¡¯ house hastily typed, ¡°I am in a very safe ce now. Don¡¯t worry and don¡¯t go to my school to look for me and make a fuss.¡±

    Zhao Yao stared at Zhao Xue¡¯s reply suspiciously. His sharp intuition told him that something was not right. ¡°Zhao Xue, are you hiding something from me?¡±

    ¡°No. Anyway, I¡¯m fine... Don¡¯t worry about me.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes shed as he thought about Zhao Xue¡¯s behavior. Hiding from me, not wanting to see me in school, rejecting my requests for photos or videos and saying that she is in a safe ce...

    Zhao Yao¡¯s heart sank. Don¡¯t tell me Zhao Xue is pregnant? Must be that she met some b*stard who knocked her up, so now she refuses to see me, Dad, and Mum now and even went into hiding...

    Don¡¯t tell me she wants to give birth to the baby?!

    It must be so or else she wouldn¡¯t be hiding and refusing to see me, not even telling us anything. Don¡¯t tell me that guy already left her?

    ¡°Ah!!¡± Zhao Yao mmed his palm on the floor. ¡°Disgusting! Which b*stard dared do that to my sister? I¡¯m going to tear him apart.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s thoughts became nastier by the minute and all sorts of scenarios appeared in his mind.

    He wanted to text Zhao Xue immediately to confirm his suspicions with her, but he stopped halfway as he realized, ¡°No if I ask her directly, she will definitely not admit it. She might even cut off contact with me. What if she goes to some unlicensed clinic and both lives are lost...¡±

    At the thought of this, Zhao Yao took a deep breath, ¡°Calm down, Zhao Yao, you must stay calm. A university student with pre-marital pregnancy is a verymon, very natural urrence...¡±

    ¡°Natural my ass!¡± Zhao Yao furiously kicked the stone pier beside him, inviting curious stares from the university students afar.

    Seeing the stares from the university students, Zhao Yao scolded them, ¡°What are you staring at? Remember to wear condoms when you have sex or your family members will be very worried.¡±

    After ranting, Zhao Yao sighed and pulled a long face. He felt that this was more tiring than the big battle he had just fought against Old K and his men.

    ¡°No, as an older brother, how can I just stand by and watch when my own sister is in trouble?¡±

    ¡°Zhao Xue will definitely do something silly if I ask her. I should ask her friends. They might just know where she¡¯s hiding.¡±

    When Zhao Xue saw that Zhao Yao had stopped replying, she sighed to herself in relief, thinking that he had given up on finding her.

    Three hourster, Zhao Xue was lying in her mother¡¯s arms as her mother massaged her shoulders and head. She closes her eyes in bliss as she sighed contentedly.

    Suddenly, a string of message notifications sprung up and made her phone ring incessantly. Zhao Xue sat upzily and stretched her back before walking to check her phone.

    Mama Zhao was amused by this scene. ¡°So many people want to get in touch with our supercats, they¡¯re so cute.¡±

    Zhao Xue was shocked when she saw the messages her friends had sent.

    ¡°Zhao Xue, you¡¯re getting married?¡±

    ¡°Zhao Xue, you¡¯re pregnant?¡±

    ¡°Zhao Xue, you¡¯re about to give birth?¡±

    Zhao Xue exploded with anger and wagged her tail vigorously as she huffed in anger, ¡°Who is it? Who is spreading these rumors about me? Ahhh! I¡¯m so angry!!¡±

    ¡°I will tear him apart!¡±

    ¡°This is nder! tant nder!¡± Zhao Xue shook with anger, meowing menacingly as she read the string of messages sent to her.

    ¡°Despicable. At this rate, I might just be a headline in the local newspapers!¡±

    Zhao Xue quickly asked her friends how such rumors about her had spread.

    On his side, Zhao Yao was chatting with a female university student. He said worriedly, ¡°What should I do with Zhao Xue now that she¡¯s pregnant and alone with no money and no one to take care of her? You really don¡¯t know where she is?¡±

    ¡°Zhao Xue is pregnant? I didn¡¯t know that,¡± the female student gasped.

    Zhao Yao sighed again, ¡°Looks like Zhao Xue really loves that man. She didn¡¯t even tell any of you. That foolish girl, it¡¯s not as if I would separate them from each other if she had been honest with me, right?¡±

    Right at that moment, Zhao Yao¡¯s phone rang. His eyes brightened as the caller was actually Zhao Xue. He answered the call immediately and heard an ear-splitting scream hollering at him, ¡°Zhao Yao! Do you want to die?! Why did you spread such nonsensical rumors about me being pregnant!¡±

    At that moment, Zhao Xue waspletely naked as she ran into the forest on Cat Ind. She turned into the form of a girl temporarily to make the call.

    As her cat body grew, the amount of time she could turn into a human body extended such that she could take on her human form for 30 minutes every day.

    Zhao Xue deliberately assumed human form tosh out at Zhao Yao, ¡°You better go and exin to my friends and tell them that whatever you said to them just now is nonsense!¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°Zhao Xue, where exactly are you? You¡¯re really not pregnant? Then why are you avoiding me?¡±

    ¡°I!¡± Zhao Xue screamed, ¡°I am traveling. It¡¯s none of your business.¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately replied, ¡°Thene back right now. Your brother, aka me, offended his archenemy. Leaving you alone outside is too dangerous.¡±

    ¡°I have my own things to settle here,¡± Zhao Xue said, ¡°I won¡¯t be able toe back for now.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyelids fluttered ever so slightly as he scoffed, ¡°Zhao Xue if you don¡¯te back, I will just continue asking around your school for your whereabouts, especially since you¡¯re pregnant.¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao!¡± Zhao Xue red up immediately, ¡°Don¡¯t you dare!¡±

    Zhao Yao gripped his chin as he said, ¡°Asking everyone one by one is too inefficient... Should I just ask on your school forum then!?¡±

    ¡°Ahhhh!¡± Zhao Xue screamed before her tone suddenly changed as she said sweetly, ¡°Zhao Yao, don¡¯t bully your sister anymore alright? I will treat you to a meal once I¡¯m back.¡±

    ¡°No, if I don¡¯t see you within a day, I will make my move,¡± Zhao Yao threatened. ¡°Hmm, speaking of which, I still have your bed photos from high school. What do you think will happen if I send them out?¡±

    Zhao Xue immediately remembered the time when she was in high school and two of them were still living together. Although the photo was not a very scandalous one, it was enough to let people¡¯s imagination run wild.

    When she heard Zhao Yao¡¯s words, Zhao Xue immediately cried out, ¡°Zhao Yao don¡¯t you dare! If you do that, I will post photos of you wearing Mum¡¯s clothes when you were young.¡±

    Zhao Yao forced out augh as he said, ¡°Big deal, most people have worn one or two items of their mother¡¯s clothing when they were young.¡±

    ¡°Anyway Zhao Xue, just remember, if I don¡¯t see you in 24 hours, be prepared to regret your choice.¡±

    Looking at the hung up call, Zhao Xue was filled with rage. She wanted to scratch Zhao Yao to death.

    ¡°Despicable, this guy is so despicable!¡± Zhao Xue was troubled. ¡°What should I do? Should I meet Zhao Yao in my human form? But I only have half an hour¡¯s time, if I¡¯m exposed wouldn¡¯t that be really embarrassing? No matter what, it won¡¯t be worse than the current situation. I just need to pacify Zhao Yao within half an hour and all will be well.¡±

    At the thought of that, Zhao Xue immediately sent a message to Zhao Yao to meet tomorrow at his cat caf¨¦.

    Zhao Yao nced at the message and nodded his head when he saw that his sister had given in. ¡°That¡¯s more like it. If not for King of Death¡¯s threats, I wouldn¡¯t force you like this. me it on King of Death.¡±

    Thinking of King of Death, Zhao Yao quickly found a secluded spot to return to the Extradimensional Belly. He was going to find Elizabeth to feed her a spicy cat strip to see if she could deal with King of Death after her transformation.

    ...

    While Zhao Yao was thinking about how to deal with King of Death, in the southern Huadu district, King of Death had also mobilized all of Ivory to form a huge army that trained apostles in preparation for the battle against Zhao Yao.

    Ivory had been growing its influence peacefully with the unique nature of King of Death¡¯s powers. After all, in the eyes of King of Death, as long as he grew his power he would eventually conquer the world.

    However, the Headless Horseman represented a real threat to his life. Hence, King of Death abandoned his past considerations and activated every dangerous power he had. He armed masses of apostles to form an unparalleled elite superpower army in the South.

    They had only one objective:

    Completely destroy Zhao Yao and all his supercats.

    ...

    Zhao Yao walked to a remote alley and with a turn of his body, disappeared from the physical world and returned to the Extradimensional Belly.

    Not long after Zhao Yao disappeared, two pairs of cat ears emerged from the high wall behind the alley.

    ¡°Can you still hear his voice?¡±

    ¡°No, I can¡¯t. Where did he go?¡±

    After a while, a pair of big yellow eyes peered out from the wall. ncing at the empty alley, the orange Dragon Li screamed, ¡°Bad news, Yellow Bro! That man has disappeared.¡±

    ¡°Huh? Disappeared?¡± Another Dragon Li peered out of the wall and shouted, ¡°How is that possible? We have been following him all along meow.¡± Seeing the empty alley, he cried out in despair, ¡°Ah Yuan, we lost him.¡±

    The orange cat, Ah Yuan said, ¡°Just now he went around trying to find out about Zhao Xue. He might just know where Zhao Xue is. Let¡¯s go and find out who he is.¡±

    Yellow Bro agreed grudgingly, ¡°That¡¯s the only thing we can do. Hope Zhao Xue hasn¡¯t been caught by Professor Xu.¡±

    As they said that, the two orange cats had already leapt across to the roof of the other building.

    Ah Yuannded on the edge of the rooftop. Yellow Bro followed behind him and jumped, but he missed the edge by just a few centimeters. He fell from midair.

    Ah Yuan remarked, ¡°Yellow Bro, you ate too much. You can¡¯t even jump over such a small distance.¡±

    ¡°Meow!¡± Yellow Bro drooled as he replied, ¡°Desserts are too yummy, meow. Let¡¯s go eat cheesecake again tonight!¡±

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    Upon returning to the Extradimensional Belly, Zhao Yao wanted to find Elizabeth to feed her a spicy cat strip.

    He fed her one and an explosion with white smoke urred as a long, white and furry scarf appeared on the ground.

    Zhao Yao grabbed the scarf and ran his hands through it. It felt like numerous Elizabeth tails merged into one.

    ¡°This scarf looks pretty ssy, but what¡¯s its use?¡±

    Zhao Yao understood that the gear a cat transformed into after taking a spicy cat strip would have slightly different powers from the original cat. He wanted to experiment with the scarf to test its powers.

    First, he tried to cast the power of illusion but soon realized that they did not work. Zhao Yao then tried to use mind control on others but that failed as well.

    ¡°Eh? Both mind control and illusion powers are gone?¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought it was strange.

    At that moment, he suddenly realized that more than 10 supercats had gathered around him.

    Zhao Yao stared at Cannon and shouted, ¡°Hey, why are you guys gathering here?¡±

    Cannon (the Japanese cat with the virgin boy power) stared squarely at Zhao Yao and replied, ¡°Nothing much. Just came here to look at you, handsome.¡±

    Zhao Yao was delighted by his words andughed out, ¡°What are you saying, who taught you that. What an obedient little cat.¡± As he said that, he stretched out his hand and ruffled Cannon¡¯s head.

    Cannon was delighted when Zhao Yao patted his head. Seeing this, the supercats around them squeezed closer to them and started meowing at Zhao Yao.

    Uncle Egg bumped his head repeatedly against Zhao Yao, ¡°Zhao Yao! Pat my head please.¡±

    Dust Ball also ran to Zhao Yao¡¯s feet and bumped against his calf as he said, ¡°Pat me! Zhao Yao pat my head please!¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± Zhao Yao stared at the crowd of cats curiously, ¡°Why are they all being so coy today.¡±

    At that moment, Elizabeth¡¯s voice rang in Zhao Yao¡¯s head, ¡°Zhao Yao, look in the mirror.¡±

    ¡°Look in the mirror?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes shed before he regained his senses. He walked to the mirror and saw a strikingly handsome young man wearing a fox tail-like scarf. It was as if a deity had walked straight out from a painting.

    ¡°This is me?¡± Zhao Yao stared at his reflection in astonishment and touched his face, ¡°My looks haven¡¯t changed much, but why does it feel like my charm has increased by so much?¡±

    He leaned on the mirror and inspected the sides of his face, forehead, and chin, ¡°D*mn, I¡¯m so handsome now. What will I do if I wake up to this handsome self every day?¡±

    Elizabeth really wanted to roll her eyes, so she said, ¡°I think it¡¯s my power. After I turned into a scarf, I guess my power turned into increasing a person¡¯s charm. Appearance wise there seems to be no change, but you just look much more pleasing to the eye. Hehe, looks like your charm has increased by quite a lot.¡±

    Elizabeth continued anxiously, ¡°Okay we¡¯re done. Now that you know what my power is you can turn me back now.¡±

    ¡°Are you kidding me?¡± Zhao Yao suddenly took on a righteous tone, ¡°Superpowers are such a deep and mysterious thing. How can youe to a conclusion in just a few minutes? I think I need to experiment with the scarf more to see what effect it truly has. What if there¡¯s some danger to it?¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Elizabeth replied, ¡°But...¡±

    ¡°No buts,¡± Zhao Yao walked towards the dimension portal gleefully as he continued wearing the scarf, ¡°This scarf¡¯s power is too dubious. We need to experiment with it properly.¡±

    As he said that, he had already stepped out of the dimension doorway and entered the cat caf¨¦.

    When he appeared in the cat caf¨¦ lobby, the first person he saw was Xiao Shiyu. Seeing how Xiao Shiyu stared at him, Zhao Yao smiled slightly.

    What surprised him next was how Xiao Shiyu immediately turned red when he smiled at her and lowered her head, not daring to look at him again.

    ¡°It¡¯s that powerful?¡± He raised his eyebrows as he walked around the cat caf¨¦ in delight, secretly pleased with his new power.

    At that moment, he felt himself be the center of attraction in the cat caf¨¦. The customers in the cat caf¨¦ and every female there, including university students, high school students, officedies, nurses, policewomen, and many others, were all somewhat attracted to his presence.

    Onedy was bold enough to stare seductively at Zhao Yao and licked her lips as if she was a female leopard that had spotted her prey.

    Elizabeth was not amused, ¡°Okay, that¡¯s enough, right. It¡¯s really just increasing your charm. It¡¯s a very obvious power.¡±

    ¡°No, Elizabeth you¡¯re too careless,¡± Zhao Yao said. ¡°These customers are all familiar people. It¡¯s not their first time seeing me, so it¡¯s very normal for them to be attracted to my male hormones. We should try it out on strangers.¡±

    Just then, that bolddy walked over and said to Zhao Yao, ¡°Boss, you look very handsome today.¡± As she said that, she stroked the scarf hanging from Zhao Yao¡¯s neck and said, ¡°Spring is alreadying to an end but you¡¯re still wearing a scarf, how fashionable.¡±

    Zhao Yao took two steps back as he felt a little embarrassed, ¡°Hehe... I¡¯m scared of the cold.¡±

    Thedy continued, ¡°Boss, let¡¯s have dinner together tonight?¡±

    ¡°No... No thank you, I have something tonight.¡± Looking at her and the other girls around him staring at him seductively, Zhao Yao quickly walked out of the cat caf¨¦ as he said, ¡°I have to go now. Enjoy yourselves.¡±

    Thatdy stared at Zhao Yao¡¯s back and giggled, ¡°How cute.¡±

    Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief aftering out of the cat caf¨¦. Elizabeth, who was hanging on his neck, asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, what¡¯s wrong? Didn¡¯t you always wish for girls to notice you?¡±

    ¡°What do you know, I prefer the passive type,¡± Zhao Yao walked on the streets and immediately sensed his attractiveness as people around him kept turning back to look at him. Five girls added him on WeChat and three boys asked him for his phone number. Seven girls asked him for directions on the streets. More than 10 girls secretly took photos of him, which they deleted after a few hours and went to get their eyes checked.

    Of course, quite a few aunties gave him things to eat and wanted to introduce their daughters to him.

    After shaking off all those people, Zhao Yao sat down by roadside shrubs holding a te of desserts. ncing at the aunty who gave it to him, he swallowed it in one bite and sighed, ¡°You can really do anything as long as you¡¯re handsome.¡±

    At that moment, Zhao Yao suddenly felt that the world was so beautiful, people were so kind, and everyone was so nice to him.

    Elizabeth sighed, ¡°We¡¯re done, right? Isn¡¯t our experiment to test if we can deal with King of Death?¡±

    Zhao Yao touched the scarf on his neck and said, ¡°Hmm, is it possible for me to use this power against King of Death? It¡¯s not a decisive power though.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought about what it would be like if King of Death and the thousands of people under his control started liking him and decided that it was too troublesome for him to handle. As he thought of that, he finished the desserts and put the empty te down beside him.

    At that moment, an officedy who passed by gave Zhao Yao a 10 dor note as she said, ¡°You¡¯re so handsome. Don¡¯t be a beggar. Go find a job quickly.¡±

    ¡°What the heck?¡± Zhao stared as the empty te was filled with more than 100 dors in a span of 10 minutes. He looked at the 16 spicy cat strips he had left, ¡°I really have toplete more missions to draw more tenbos and get more spicy cat strips.¡±

    Zhao Yao continued with the aggressive promotion of catmint and sent out even more supercats to open more channels elsewhere.

    Since the poisonous catmint source had been destroyed, it stopped spreading around. However, the supercats who were already hooked on it fell into misery and suffering overnight.

    On her second day in the Extradimensional Belly, Zhao Xue walked carefully among the cats. Every stare from the cats would make her extremely nervous as if they were going to assault her.

    ¡°My chastity cannot be smeared while I¡¯m a cat.¡± Zhao Xue¡¯s big eyes looked at every cat in the Extradimensional Belly warily. ording to her experience, the private lives of wild cats could be very messy. These supercats were not sterilized so they were just as bad. Her previous chat with Lightning had reinforced her impression of the cats.

    Zhao Xue would not enter the Extradimensional Belly had she have had a choice as she was worried she might be assaulted by the supercats here. She had be weaker after transforming into a kitten as she was without any supernatural abilities.

    If faced with danger, she could temporarily transform into a human to fight for half an hour. However, she would not be clothed in human form, so unless forced to, she would not transform back into a human rashly.

    ¡°Today, I have to think of a way to leave, find Zhao Yao¡¯s cat caf¨¦ and meet with him. However, I have tried the three Dimension Portals here in vain. I have to think of solutions.¡±

    As Zhao Xue was contemting her options, Airne brought along a group of Royal Cat guards. They swaggered through the city seeking attention. Cats backed off when they saw them.

    Ever since Airne had proposed his n to Zhao Yao to set up an intelligence task force and received a huge sum of funding, the Royal Cat guards had be most powerful in the Cat Nation.

    At this instant, Airne saw Zhao Xue in the distance. Her fur was glossy and figure slender. His eyes brightened as he asked, ¡°Such a beautiful kitten, howe I have never seen her before?¡±

    ¡°My Lord seems like a new cat.¡±

    Airne said, ¡°Go, let¡¯s go take a look!¡±

    In the other corner of the Extradimensional Belly, Matcha was holding his handphone and studying his learning materials without stopping.

    Fish Ball was beside him and peeked at the screen. Seeing a screen full of words, he felt dizzy and immediately asked, ¡°Matcha, what book are you reading? Aren¡¯t you supposed to be carrying bricks today?¡±

    Matcha stacked his paws andy his head on them. With a serious face, he was reading the Rebirth Counterattack: Extermination of the Deities and Buddhas series on his handphone screen. He responded, ¡°As a strong warrior, I am currently researching how to improve my disposition and fashion style. Do not disrupt my learning.¡±

    At this time, the scream of a supercat rang from a distance.

    Matcha and Fish Ball lifted their heads and saw Airne with a group of his cats surrounding a female cat.

    ¡°Little rat? Where is my little rat?¡± Airne walked around the female cat and smiled perversely, ¡°Cat sister, have you hidden my little rat?¡±

    The Royal Cat guards surrounded both Zhao Xue and Airne like four walls.

    ¡°Why am I not able to find my little rat?¡± Airne slowly edged closer to Zhao Xue and said with a twisted face, ¡°Is my little rat hidden under your buttocks? Let me see quickly. Don¡¯t suffocate him.¡±

    Zhao Xue¡¯s eyes shed coldly. As she was considering whether to make her move, a voice rang, ¡°Stop!¡±

    An orange sh preceded Matcha retracting a pair of cat paws, appearing behind Airne and then standing up slowly.

    Ah! Airne screamed and immediately flew out. His whole body trembled as though he had been given a series of beatings.

    Matcha turned to face the dumbfounded Zhao Xue, smiled and said, ¡°Do not worry miss, with me around, I will not allow tomcats to bully female cats.¡±

    Airne lifted his head. His swollen eyes red at the orange cat. He furiously roared, ¡°Matcha! Why did you hit me?¡±

    ¡°Insignificant ant.¡± Matcha aimed his back at Airne, reminding himself not to turn his head and simultaneously saying, ¡°I, Matcha, do not need to exin my actions to you.¡±

    Airne was bewildered and said, ¡°What are you saying? I am asking you why you hit me.¡±

    ¡°Shut up.¡± The back of Matcha¡¯s head still faced Airne and he said grimly, ¡°You do not understand how powerful I currently am. My supernatural ability is beyond your imagination.¡±

    ¡°Your supernatural ability is freezing time for 12 seconds, that I know.¡± Airne opened his mouth, thought about Matcha¡¯s words and finally said, ¡°And I am asking you why you hit me.¡±

    A series of green veins appeared on Matcha¡¯s head.

    Bam! Airne flew out and rolled on the ground more than ten times beforeing to a halt.

    Because of the effect of Time Freeze, Matcha shed on the spot as he shook his head saying, ¡°In this world... another contamination.¡±

    After saying that, Matcha¡¯s figure shed again. However, nothing happened.

    Airne looked at Matcha¡¯s head, his mouth full of blood and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you turn your head to look at me when time froze? I saw the shadow of your silly smile.¡±

    ¡°Hehe.¡± Matcha clenched his paws angrily and coldly said, ¡°When did you have hallucinations of me turning my head?¡±

    ¡°D*mn cat.¡± Airne said perplexed, ¡°Do you know catnguage? I am asking you, why did you hit me?!¡±

    At this moment, Zhao Xue shyly raised up her paws and said, ¡°Hey, apologies, the little rat was underneath my buttocks when I sat down.¡± She looked at the little rat toy on the ground and said, ¡°I¡¯m really sorry. I¡¯ll go first.¡±

    Matcha stroked his head with his right paw, stuck out his tongue cutely and said, ¡°Good to have found it.¡±

    Airne turned his head from the little rat and looked at Matcha, however, he had disappeared.

    ¡°D*mn. Catch that Matcha and beat him to death!¡±

    The surrounding Royal Cat guards acted on their orders. They went in all directions like flood water looking for traces of Matcha.

    In the meantime, Zhao Xue lightly exhaled as she arrived in front of Elizabeth. ¡°Greetings, are you Elizabeth from the cat caf¨¦?¡±

    Elizabeth lifted her head, looked at Zhao Xue and asked, ¡°What is it?¡±

    ¡°I heard that I have to join cat caf¨¦ section in order to leave the Dimension Portal...¡±

    ¡°A cat like you wants to join cat caf¨¦ section?¡± Elizabeth sneered and said, ¡°Your fur isn¡¯t fully grown yet, we¡¯ll talk again once you be an adult. We do not keep underaged cats.

    Our cat caf¨¦ is a proper cat caf¨¦. Every cat has a regr body checkup and bath and is voluntary. If people find out that our cat caf¨¦ allows underaged cats to be yed with, it will reflect badly on us.¡±

    Zhao Xue was speechless.

    ¡°I may appear small in size, however, I am already a grown up.¡±

    After persuading her for a long time, Zhao Xue managed to join the cat caf¨¦ section. She went to find Dustball for permission and finally left the Extradimensional Belly.

    After that, Zhao Xue escaped from the cat caf¨¦ and stole a set of clothing with difficulty. Feeling relieved, she transformed back to human form and wore the clothing.

    At the cat caf¨¦ entrance.

    Two orange cats, one fat and one slim squat opposite the cat caf¨¦, fixing their gaze on it.

    The fat one, Yellow Bro said, ¡°So that man is the owner of this cat caf¨¦?¡±

    The slim one, Ah Yuan replied, ¡°Yes, his name is Zhao Yao. He¡¯s Zhao Xue¡¯s brother. Smith died at Jiang Hai University. Zhao Xue¡¯s clothing and student pass were found where hest was before he died. So he must have given the medicine to Zhao Xue, who transformed and escaped sessfully.¡±

    At this point, Ah Yuan became serious and said, ¡°Professor Xu most probably had discovered the truth. We have to beat them in finding Zhao Xue.¡±

    Yellow Bro did not speak. She only drooled while looking at the food of the cat caf¨¦¡¯s customers. ¡°Ah Yuan, what are we having for lunch?¡±

    ¡°Eat, eat and eat, you only know about eating.¡± Ah Yuan pped Yellow Bro¡¯s fat head in anger. ¡°This a matter of life and death regarding the human race. Be more serious! We are saving the world!¡±

    Yellow Bro¡¯s head rested on the ground, her big eyes looked very sad as she said, ¡°I am hungry.¡±

    At this instant, Ah Yuan¡¯s gaze brightened. ¡°She¡¯sing!¡±

    In the distance, on the streets, Zhao Xue wore an ill-fitting T-shirt and jeans and walked towards the cat caf¨¦ furiously.

    Ah Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up as she said, ¡°She mastered the technique of transforming into a human in such a short time? That is formidable. Let¡¯s go Yellow Bro, we will find her.¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Xue walked into the cat caf¨¦. She swept her gaze over the humans and cats in the cat caf¨¦. However, there were no signs of Zhao Yao.

    Bai Quan approached and asked, ¡°Greetings, Miss, is this your first time?¡±

    ¡°Uh, I am looking for Zhao Yao, I am his sister.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Bai Quan was surprised on hearing and sized up Zhao Xue before asking, ¡°Blood-sister?¡±

    Zhao Xue frowned and said, ¡°Blood-sister.¡±

    Bai Quan was even more astonished. He nodded his head and said, ¡°Pleasee in and take a seat. Recently, boss has not been in the cat caf¨¦ during the day. However, before the end of the workday, he wille back. Do y with the cats while waiting for him.¡±

    He could not resist sizing up Zhao Xue and thought, ¡°How does boss have such a pretty sister? Genes are... indeed intriguing.¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Xue was fuming as she sat down and she thought, ¡°Zhao Yao dares to bete even though an appointment has been fixed? My transformation will onlyst half an hour. What if he does not return by that time? Even worse, if hees back in the middle of my transformation...¡±

    Zhao Xue became more vexed the more she thought about it. At this time, a Persian cat walked in front of her, tilted its head and looked at her meekly.

    As an undergraduate who often fed stray cats, Zhao Xue naturally liked to y with cats. Seeing such an adorable cat at her legs, she was tempted and grabbed the Persian cat, cuddling its head and back. Moreover, due to the mysterious effect of the Sound Field Therapy in the air, Zhao Xue felt her vexation gradually calming down.

    Her ears slightly quivered and she heard a soft voice saying, ¡°This woman does not order any drinks after cuddling for so long, is she thinking of getting a free pass?¡±

    ¡°Huh? Zhao Xue furrowed her brows and looked around as she thought, ¡°Who is speaking?¡±

    ¡°Look at her raggy clothes. Don¡¯t think she can order much stuff.¡±

    Zhao Xue immediately reacted. ¡°It is this cat!¡± She was shocked. ¡°Yes, this is the territory of the cat caf¨¦ section. Are the cats who work here supercats? As a human, am I able to understand catnguage?¡±

    She heard the same soft voice again, saying, ¡°Why is this woman staring at me? Forget it, let me act cute and see if I can squeeze some money out from her.¡±

    Looking at the widening eyes, tilted head and adorable face of the Persian cat, Zhao Xue abruptly felt a creepy chill. She flung her hand and put the Persian cat on the ground.

    Once she understood catnguage, she could no longer enjoy cuddling cats. Looking at the nces of the supercats, Zhao Xue felt they were after her money.

    She heard a thump and Zhao Xue¡¯s ears quivered. She turned around to see two orange cats, one fat and one slim, lying on the cat caf¨¦¡¯s window sill. The slim cat widened his eyes to look at her while the fat one was drooling and gazing at the milkshake on the table.

    Seeing the two orange cats, Zhao Xue thought, ¡°Stray cats looking for food?¡±

    In the next moment, she heard the voice of a female kid ringing in her head. ¡°Zhao Xue! Quickly follow us! You are in danger!¡±

    ¡°Hey? Supercats?¡± Zhao Xue looked curiously at the two orange cats. ¡°Do they know me?¡±

    The slim orange cat patted on the windows with her paws, looking worried. ¡°Do you hear us? Zhao Xue! Quickly follow us. You are able to transform into a cat, aren¡¯t you? An organization ising after you. If you do not wish to let your parents and brother fall into danger, quickly follow us!¡±

    On hearing the words, Zhao Xue¡¯s face changed. ¡°You know about my cat transformation?¡± She opened her mouth to speak subconsciously and the message rang in the mind of her target. She had learnt subconsciously tomunicate with supercats after her cat transformation.

    That orange cat received Zhao Xue¡¯s message, curled up her whiskers and nodded incessantly. ¡°Yes, the organization that discovered the cat transformation medicine is an evil group that is perverting the entire world. You have to follow us immediately. If they discover that you are still alive, they will wipe out you and your kin.¡±

    After hearing this, Zhao Xue¡¯s chest tightened. ¡°But I am still waiting for my brother.¡±

    ¡°Do not wait for your brother. If you meet him, you will harm him.¡± The orange slim cat continued to coax, ¡°Quickly, follow us before it is toote. They will arrive at any time.¡±

    Zhao Xue hesitated for a while, then her eyes filled with resolution. Although she didn¡¯t know if the orange slim cat was telling the truth, her cat transformation left her only one choice¡ªto follow them.

    Half an hourter, Zhao Yao walked out from the Dimension Portal, which was located in the storeroom upstairs. He heard Bai Quan saying, ¡°Boss, your sister just came to look for you, however, she just left.¡±

    ¡°Huh? Left?¡± Zhao Yao furrowed his brows and opened up his phone to contact Zhao Xue, only to find a message from her.

    ¡°Something¡¯s popped up, let¡¯s meet again.¡±

    Zhao Yao was vexed after reading Zhao Xue¡¯s message. He was treating the addiction of the supercats and his sister had left just when he returned.

    Zhao Yao immediately replied, ¡°If you don¡¯te here, I will go to the forum to confront you with evidence.¡±

    ¡°Something really popped up.¡± Zhao Xue texted Zhao Yao. Her tone was extremely solemn. ¡°Zhao Yao, I have an important matter to attend to. Give me some time. I will exin everything to you when I return.¡±

    Zhao Yao said perplexed, ¡°Is it rted to supercats? Let me help you. My abilities are extremely powerful, I am...¡±

    Zhao Yao wanted to reveal that he was the Headless Horseman. However, he remembered that Zhao Xue had the impression that the Headless Horseman was a woman. So he finally said, ¡°Anyway, I am extremely powerful. More powerful than all the apostles that you know. If you have problems, look for me. I am able to help.¡±

    ¡°I know that you are powerful.¡± Zhao Xue smiled as she shook her head while replying, ¡°This matter is not rted to abilities so you are unable to help. Brother, give me some time.¡±

    Recognizing the solemnity of her tone, Zhao Yao understood that she was resolute.

    After texting her brother, Zhao Xue looked at the two orange cats leading her and said, ¡°What you just said, is that the truth?¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡± The slim Ah Yuan said, ¡°We will teach you our transformation ability and you will be able to transform into a cat and human at will. In that case, Professor Xu and the rest will not be able to find you. You do not understand your true value. A person like you, who survived the cat transformation medicine, is rare. The odds are one in a thousand.¡±

    Zhao Xue nodded. She was most concerned about the cat transformation issue. This, ording to her, was a huge problem with the highest priority.

    As long as she could solve this problem and no longer transform into a cat or at least have the ability to transform at will in between her human and cat forms, then the rest were secondary.

    Meanwhile, as Zhao Xue¡¯s brother, Zhao Yao naturally could not carry out his threat of going to the Jianghai University to ckmail her. He looked helplessly at the portrait of Zhao Xue on his screen and sighed. ¡°Well, my sister has grown up. She doesn¡¯t listen to her brother anymore.¡±

    Shaking his head, Zhao Yao thought for a while before summoning Sphynx cat to sniff out Zhao Xue¡¯s scent in the cat caf¨¦. This was to track Zhao Xue using her scent.

    The man and his cat trailed after Zhao Xue¡¯s scent and arrived at an alley, only to find a T-shirt and jeans at the dead end.

    Sphynx cat looked at the clothing and said, ¡°The scent ends here.¡± He furrowed his brows. ¡°Very strange, I have never encountered a situation like this before.¡±

    Zhao Yao was puzzled and said, ¡°Ends? How can it be? Is it a change of clothing? Even if it is a change of clothing, there should still be a scent left behind.¡±

    ¡°Completely no scent at all.¡± Sphynx cat was puzzled and said, ¡°There are the scents of three cats. Two of the scents were there the whole way.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes brightened. ¡°Follow them.¡±

    Zhao Yao and Sphynx cat, along with Roly Poly, who was following Zhao Yao for 24 hours, tracked the scent of the two cats under the cloak of invisibility.

    Their traveling speed was much faster than that of the ones they tracked. It was not long before they arrived at the aqueduct and saw the three cats.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes shed momentarily. ¡°Are they the ones?¡±

    Sphynx cat nodded his head and said, ¡°The scent of the two orange cats... correct. They have been following Zhao Xue along the way.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head and activated the Deflective Field for protection. Simultaneously, he captured the three cats and held them in mid-air, while revealing himself and asking, ¡°What kind of cats are you? Where is Zhao Xue?¡±

    Seeing the sudden appearance of Zhao Yao, Zhao Xue got frightened and immediately turned her face so that he would not recognize her.

    Ah Yuan and Yellow Bro were indifferent as Zhao Yao was Zhao Xue¡¯s brother and they were far away from the cat caf¨¦. Moreover, Zhao Xue had transformed into her cat form. The Professor would not be able to find Zhao Xue.

    After hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s question, Ah Yuan pointed to Zhao Xue at the side and said, ¡°Zhao Xue is here.¡±

    Zhao Yao lifted his brow and looked at Zhao Xue¡¯s supposed position and said bewilderedly, ¡°Really ¡®Zhao Xue¡¯? ¡®Zhao Xue¡¯, why are you here? Why are you messing with these wild cats?¡± He recognized this cat. It was the cat that Dad and Mum had raised and its name was also ¡°Zhao Xue¡±.

    Zhao Xue immediately reacted and said after exhaling, ¡°They... They are my friends. We were taking a walk.¡±

    ¡°A walk?¡± Zhao Yao looked at her suspiciously. ¡°Taking a walk outside of the Extradimensional Belly?¡±

    Zhao Xue immediately said, ¡°I am already part of the cat caf¨¦ section. I previously worked in the cat caf¨¦.¡±

    ¡°Working in the cat caf¨¦... When are you allowed toe out?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s gaze on the little cat was filled with increasing suspicion. This cat was very dubious.

    ¡°Well? From his tone, does Zhao Yao know that Zhao Xue is a cat?¡± Ah Yuan tilted her head and thought, ¡°And the sister is working in her brother¡¯s shop? His tone seems pretty stern.¡±

    Zhao Yao put aside the matters rting to his family cat and looked at the two orange cats with the lingering scent. ¡°Where is my sister? She was with both of you just now.¡±

    Ah Yuan looked puzzled and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t Zhao Xue here? You were chatting with her just now.¡± She pointed to Zhao Xue again.

    ¡°I know Zhao Xue is here.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°I am asking, where is my sister? You were in the alley just now. Did you see her? Do not lie. My friend told me. Your scents were together along the way.¡±

    Ah Yuan was speechless.

    ¡°Hehe, very good, a challenge... I like challenges.¡± Zhao Yao took out a tool bag from his chest and removed from the bag a water gun, trimmer, scissors and masking tape...

    Whenever an item was taken out, Ah Yuan¡¯s body would quiver without reason, feeling an ominous auraing from the objects.

    Ah Yuan screamed. ¡°What are you going to do?¡±

    ¡°Hehehehe.¡± Zhao Yaoughed and caressed the water gun and trimmer at the same time. He picked up the scissors and aimed at Ah Yuan¡¯s fur, posing here and there. ¡°Where shall I cut first? If you tell me the whereabouts of my sister Zhao Xue, I will let you off.¡±

    Ah Yuan roared, ¡°She is Zhao Xue! Isn¡¯t Zhao Xue here? D*mn it! You just chatted with her!¡±

    ¡°Humph! You¡¯re stubborn!¡± The cold ray in Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes shed and he advanced towards Ah Yuan¡¯s buttocks, preparing to trim the fur.

    ¡°No!¡± At this moment, Ah Yuan¡¯s body emitted a dazzling light, blinding the eyes of Zhao Yao.

    When the light faded, a teenager girl with cat ears, of about fourteen to fifteen years old, stood in front of Zhao Yao. The important areas of her body were covered by cat fur, only revealing smooth and glossy skin in the exposed areas.

    After consuming the cat transformation medicine and having mastered the transformation ability, a human was able to achieve the half human, half cat fighting mode.

    Zhao Yao was dumbfounded as he watched, his hand still holding the scissors.

    Meow! The feline girl roared and her eyes narrowed to a single line. Her extreme shame was transformed into vicious fury as she activated her ability.

    Boom! Psychokic energy erupted from her body and smashed onto Zhao Yao¡¯s body like waves crashing down on the rocks. However, the attack was unable to prate the Deflective Field.

    Meanwhile, after a meow and sh, Yellow Bro transformed into a little feline girl of over ten years old. She also activated her Psychokinesis to attack Zhao Yao.

    With thebination of both Psychokinesis, Zhao Yao was slightly surprised that the energy level was on par with his base level Deflective Field. However, thebination was unable to bypass the current Deflective Field.

    After deflecting this wave of attack easily, Zhao Yao looked with embarrassment at the two feline girls. He nced at his scissors and discovered a tuft of orange fur.

    Zhao Yao immediately hid the orange fur and asked, ¡°Is this your supernatural ability? Transforming into humans? Why are you Psychokic? Do you have the ability to use multiple powers simultaneously?¡±

    ¡°We are originally humans!¡± Ah Yuan was red-faced and red furiously at Zhao Yao. Her ears quivered as she said, ¡°We consumed the cat transformation medicine as humans and acquired the ability to be cats!¡±

    ¡°Cat transformation medicine? So they have such gimmicks?¡± Looking at both cat-eared girls, Zhao Yao smiled as he said, ¡°Good stuff.¡±

    Ah Yuan and Yellow Bro disyed their fangs and ws as though they were protesting cats and red at Zhao Yao. ¡°Release us immediately!¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head and said, ¡°That I cannot do. You have to tell me, where my sister Zhao Xue went.¡±

    ¡°So we have said!¡± Ah Yuan was so agitated that the ears were ttened down and the tail was swaying violently. ¡°Zhao Xue is here... you¡¯re wrong...¡± She immediately reacted and said, ¡°If you don¡¯t know about the cat transformation medicine, then why were you and Zhao Xue...¡±

    Zhao Yao also realized what was happening instantly and looked in astonishment at Zhao Xue. ¡°You!¡± Recalling how he did body checkups and temperature measurements on her, especially the memories of how he trained her, gave Zhao Yao a throbbing headache.

    Zhao Xue was agitated and her emotions were on a roller coaster. She was the cat girl in front of Zhao Yao. Once Zhao Yao realized what she was, she was so emotionally affected that she transformed with a bang, emitting brilliant rays and changing into a white cat-eared girl.

    Looking at her changes, Zhao Xue yelled and covered her chest. Although it was covered by cat fur and nothing could be seen, she still felt a sense of shame.

    Especially seeing Zhao Yao¡¯s astonished gaze fixated on her. She immediately hollered, ¡°Don¡¯t look!¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and said, ¡°Pretty good, cat-eared girl, better looking than your previous self.¡±

    Zhao Xue gnashed her teeth and yelled, ¡°Zhao Yao! You are tired of living.¡±

    Ah Yuan and Yellow Bro looked at Zhao Xue joyfully and said, ¡°Zhao Xue, you managed to transform into half cat half human form, you are a cat transformation genius.¡±

    Zhao Xue rolled her eyes and said, ¡°Genius... pooh! Who wants to be this kind of a genius, quickly tell me how to change back.¡±

    Roly Poly, who was watching the show all the time,mented with both his eyes shining, ¡°Too d*mn exciting.¡±

    Ah Yuan shook her head and said, ¡°We do not know how to transform. We have to bring you to see Fu Mi. Only she knows how to let us master the cat transformation ability.¡±

    Zhao Xue furrowed her brows and whined in anger.

    Zhao Yao dispelled the Deflective Field silently. He extended his hand and asked, ¡°This cat transformation medicine, can both guys and girls consume it and transform?¡±

    Ah Yuan dted pupils and shook her head. ¡°Only female apostles can transform and the sess rate is very low.¡±

    Zhao Xue scolded in her thoughts, ¡°The inventor of this medicine must be a pervert.¡±

    Once he heard that only girls were able to change, Zhao Yao clenched his fist and said, ¡°Yes! This inventor of the medicine is a genius.¡±

    He looked at the big and small duo of feline girls. One was about fourteen to fifteen years old while the other was about eleven to twelve years old. After the transformation, they did not look threatening, in fact, they looked vulnerable.

    Zhao Yao asked in curiosity, ¡°Are you looking for yourrade after this?¡±

    ¡°You are not allowed toe !¡± Zhao Xue said with a ruddy face, ¡°Ah Yuan, Yellow Bro, let¡¯s go.¡±

    Zhao Yao felt the anger and embarrassment of Zhao Xue. In order not to provoke her, he said, ¡°Okay, Zhao Xue you can go alone, however, you have to bring along a supercat for protection.¡± He pointed at the Sphynx cat at the side.

    Zhao Xue did not object. She looked at Sphynx cat, then Ah Yuan and Yellow Bro and asked, ¡°Is that okay?¡± After obtaining approval from Ah Yuan and Yellow Bro, she brought along Sphynx cat.

    Zhao Yao reminded Sphynx cat, ¡°You will follow and protect Zhao Xue, if there are any changes in circumstances, inform me. In addition, lend your ability to Zhao Xue, so that she can continue to train and be stronger.¡±

    After putting on a small backpack on Sphynx cat and storing a handphone in the backpack, Zhao Yao patted Sphynx cat¡¯s shoulders and said, ¡°Go.¡±

    Sphynx cat looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Recently, Ares...¡±

    ¡°Wait till youe back...¡± Zhao Yao patted Sphynx cat¡¯s shoulders and said in a heavy tone, ¡°I will tie him up and send him to your dwelling.¡±

    Looking at the disappearing silhouettes of both human and cats, Zhao Yao waved his hand and shouted, ¡°Zhao Xue! Learn the cat transformation diligently. Don¡¯t bezy, I will wait for your return to further the development of this ability.¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao!¡± The deep end of the aqueduct rang with Zhao Xue¡¯s angry voice, ¡°Just you wait...¡±

    Looking at Roly Poly¡¯s strange stare, Zhao Yao shrugged his shoulders in embarrassment. ¡°Hehe, Roly Poly, see how my sister misses me.¡±

    ¡°You were more excited to look at the feline girls just now than to find your sister.¡± Roly Poly thought in disdain and spat invisible phlegm on the ground.

    Since Zhao Xue was sent out for further training under the protection of the Sphynx cat, Zhao Yao was able to put his mind at ease.

    The fighting prowess of Sphynx cat was incredibly strong. Even if Zhao Yao and the Sphynx cat were to fight against each other, not in a fighting ring but a totally unrestrained battle, Zhao Yao might be killed by his stealth attack.

    Moreover, Zhao Xue had a strong constitution. With the continuous training of Sphynx cat, she would be stronger and stronger and be safer too.

    ¡°Over the next few days, I shallplete the mission of beating evil.¡±

    The more important task was being able to grow stronger and dominate King of Death. Once the King of Death was neutralized, then he would not fear his people being killed by the King of Death.

    The mission of beating evil required the extermination of the poisonous catmint source and treating the addiction of the cats.

    Zhao Yao hadpleted the first part¡ªOld K and the rest were working illegally in the Extradimensional Belly. Zhao Yao had toplete the remaining second part.

    In the Extradimensional Belly, Old K, Midnight, and Lang Gou looked at the mountain of cat food and cat litter, the stains, the cat litter that was that was on the floor, and the dirty cat toilets that needed to be cleaned.

    Midnight frowned. ¡°Every day we wake up to shovel the poop, clean the ce, sweep and mop the floor, wipe the toilets, and wash the tes without any days off or holidays. Even a robot needs days off for maintenance.¡±

    ¡°What is going on?¡± Midnight pointed at the pile of shit on the doorframe of the cat toilet. ¡°These stupid cats, normally, when they use the toilets and stain the walls, I have nothing to say. But, this? Half of their shit is outside the toilet. How do they even do this? Are they even supercats? They are not ordinary cats without intelligence. Don¡¯t they know how to use a toilet?¡±

    At this moment, a Garfield cat rushed out of the toilet. It was Ares¡¯s follower, Gaia. She dashed out of the toilet. As she ran, the filth on her butt fell all over the floor. ¡°Don¡¯t press start! Wait for me Rice Cake!¡±

    ¡°This stupid cat!¡± Looking at the filth on the floor, Midnight wanted to strangle the cat. This cat was too inconsiderate. Didn¡¯t they know how tiring it was to clean the toilets? Midnight yelled at Gaia. ¡°Can you clean yourself beforeing out?¡±

    ¡°How is that something to get angry about?¡± Old K, looking depressed, pulled Lightning out from the cubicle beside them. The night before, Lightning and the other cats had gotten high on catmint. After going to the toilet he had fallen asleep inside and now his fur was filled with filth.

    Old K pointed to Lightning and asked Matsuo, ¡°Matsuo, what do I do with him?¡±

    ¡°You have to bathe him.¡± Matsuo looked at Old K pitifully. ¡°Wear a few moreyers of gloves. Once you get used to it, it will be fine.¡±

    As they were speaking, Lightning startedughing loudly and talked in his dreams. ¡°Is it enough? Is it enough? If it is, then shout it out!¡±

    Apanied by a sh of lightning, Old K¡¯s hair stood up and he fell to the floor like a steel rod.

    Seeing Old K like this, Lang Gou broke down. He looked at Matsuo and asked, ¡°Matsuo, for how long do we have to do this? Living like this is inhumane.¡±

    ¡°That is hard to say.¡± Matsuo sighed, ¡°It depends on how boss is feeling. Two weeks ago, he was in a good mood. He brought me to Japan and also visited the maid cafe.¡± While he was speaking, he smiled. Faceless (Mao Gang¡¯s leader) smiled with envy.

    ... Old K, Lang Gou and Midnight looked at each other. This was worse than being in jail. At least if they were in jail, they had something to look forward to. Working for Zhao Yao was a scandal. They did the dirtiest and most tiring jobs, got hurt by the supercats identally, and they had no idea when was the end to this.

    In fact, selling catmint was not even illegal. At most, they would have been charged for fighting and injuring others. Furthermore, God of Death might evene and save them.

    Thinking of the countless amount of cat poop, cat pee, and vomit they had to clean on top of the supercat attacks, the three of them shivered.

    ¡°I want to go to jail.¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao! Let me out!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, hand us to the police! We are willing to own up!¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s attention was drawn into the Extradimensional Belly. Hearing the three of them, he activated the illusion and entered with a Shit Wave. It made the three them yell and groan, then he said, ¡°Where do you think you are? You think you cane and go as you please?¡±

    Midnight¡¯s face turned pale as he struggled to stand up.¡±You can¡¯t detain us for life. If you do, I would rather die.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head and said, ¡°Of course not for life. When you have realized what you¡¯ve done wrong, turned over a new leaf and have decided to fight for the rise of China, I will let you go.

    Don¡¯t worry. I can tell who is the hardest working, who has been cking, who has really turned over a new leaf, and who is lying. The ones who really turn over a new leaf will get their chance to leave.¡±

    Roly Poly, who was stuck with Zhao Yao every day, looked at the three of them and sighed. He felt for them as he was in the same situation. ¡°Guys, once you are on the list in Zhao Yao¡¯s mind, you will probably work for him forever.¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao carried Roly Poly, turned into the Headless Horseman, and appeared under the Jianghai night sky.

    After looking at his phone, the Sphynx cat notified Zhao Yao that all was clear.

    Sphynx cat thought, ¡°They are useless. I can beat one with each fist. Zhao Xue will be fine.¡±

    ¡°I am not asking you about whether you can beat them.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°I know that you can do that. Just take a few pictures of them for me.¡±

    Sphynx cat was confused, ¡°Huh? What do you mean?¡±

    ¡°Take a few more pictures of the cat-eared girls for me.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°You can protect Zhao Xue when it is convenient.¡±

    After talking to Sphynx cat, Zhao Yao smiled satisfyingly and walked towards the basement.

    Once he entered, he saw that the floor was filled with supercats. They were lying around lifelessly. They were all the supercats with a drug addiction.

    Cat King of the North introduced him to the group, ¡°There are 43 supercats in total. They are all addicted to the poisonous catmint. They would do anything for it.¡±

    A supercat saw the Cat King of the North and his eyes lit up. He crawled over to hug the Cat King of the North¡¯s leg. ¡°Cat King of the North! You must have the Divine Catmint right? Just let me suck one more time, once more will do!¡±

    The Cat King of the North sighed, ¡°I do not have that kind of catmint.¡±

    ¡°You must have it. You are the King, how can you not have it?¡± When he saw that Cat King of the North still didn¡¯t agree, the supercat turned around and brought a confused kitten. ¡°Cat King of the North, this is my daughter. How about this, I¡¯ll give her to you. You just have to give me one more mouthful of catmint. I¡¯m begging you.¡±

    As he spoke he dropped the kitten and said, ¡°Xixi, beg the Cat King of the North.¡±

    The kitten looked at the Cat King of the North with her innocent eyes and asked, ¡°Cat King of the North, can you let my dad have another mouthful of the catmint? My dad¡¯s head hurts so much, he can¡¯t even sleep at night.¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned. ¡°This drug addiction is worse than I expected.¡± Thinking this, he snapped his fingers and all the cats in the basement were deprived of their five senses and they fell unconsciousness.

    Unlike those who were under this power in the past, this time, those deprived of their five senses were finally relieved from the pain. Even the darkness in front of them became familiar and calm. All of them fell into a rare slumber.

    However for the drug addiction to be over, it was not a matter of hours or minutes. Hence, Zhao Yao sat down and continued casting his powers

    For the next few days, Zhao Yao went around as the Headless Horseman. He spread the news on the cat web as he helped the cats who were addicted. He used illusions to help the supercats endure the pain of quitting the poisonous catmint. When he finished helping all the cats, he hadpleted his task of defeating the crooks and was awarded 1000*2 experience points. He was awarded an additional 2000*2 for curing all the patients.

    Uponpleting this task, Zhao Yao¡¯s experience points in the BOOK became BOOK: Lv6 (39342/20000)

    However Zhao Yao did not level up the Book, he just kept the experience points. Currently, Elizabeth¡¯s cover page was Lv8: (2000/50000). He wanted to collect experience points so that he could level Elizabeth up to Lv9 immediately and see if he could strengthen Elizabeth¡¯s Sixth Sense illusion.

    Meanwhile, the market for catmint and Elizabeth¡¯s live stream poprity were increasing steadily. Every time the catmint market grew by 1%, he would have one chance at the lucky draw at the end of the month. There was about one week left until the end of the month, Zhao Yao decided to focus all his attention on the catmint market to umte more chances for the lucky draw.

    This required Zhao Yao to discuss with the Cat Kings. He had to introduce them to Dust Ball¡¯s catmint.

    That day, Zhao Yao was going out to promote the catmint again. When Elizabeth saw him she meowed, ¡°Zhao Yao it is the weekend. Aren¡¯t you going to rest?¡±

    ¡°Nope, I am not going to rest. I have to meet the Stadium Cat King for business.¡± He stuffed a bun into his mouth and went out. ¡°I have asked Bai Quan to buy some imported salmon for you guys to eat. Consider it a Labor Day gift.¡±

    As Elizabeth watched Zhao Yao leave, she was absorbed by her thoughts, ¡°Zhao Yao has been so busy recently. This is the first time I¡¯ve seen Zhao Yao work so hard.¡±

    Diana whispered in her ear, ¡°Furthermore, he brings Roly Poly with him everywhere. They even sleep together and bathe together. It is so suspicious.¡±

    Elizabeth was surprised. ¡°What? That¡¯s happening?¡±

    Diana suggested, ¡°Sister, it is not that I want to speak badly about you but you are too arrogant sometimes. As cats, there is a time to be arrogant and a time to be intimate with humans. If you keep giving him the cold shoulder, there¡¯s a possibility that you might fall out of favor and be a stray again.¡±

    ¡°Stray cat?¡± Elizabeth turned her head and recalled her days as a stray cat.

    She had no inte and electricity. Every day she had to scramble around for leftover food. She had to endure hot summers and cold winters, always had an empty stomach and lived on the constant fear of being attacked by humans, dogs, and cats. She didn¡¯t even have time to clean her fur.

    Remembering all of that, Elizabeth shivered and called for the cats under her to gather.

    Immediately, all the cats in the Extradimensional Belly who belonged to the cat caf¨¦ gathered in front of Elizabeth.

    ¡°Zhao Yao has been working tirelessly to give us a good life. He has been working so hard. It¡¯s about time we repay him.¡±

    Elizabeth raised her head and stood confidently, looking at the cats gathered below her, she continued, ¡°Furthermore, the second anniversary of my adoption ising soon. I have decided to prepare a gift for Zhao Yao. Any ideas on what I should give him?¡±

    A female cat suggested, ¡°Give him a red packet. Zhao Yao likes money.¡±

    Elizabeth shook her pink paws and rejected the idea. ¡°All our money is from Zhao Yao. What is the point of giving it back?¡±

    Another female cat said, ¡°Why don¡¯t we clean up the ce? When Zhao Yao returns to a clean Extradimensional Belly, he will definitely be happy.¡±

    Elizabeth thought about it and the image of Zhao Yao lyingfortably on a rubbish-filled sofa ying his mobile games appeared in her mind. She shook her head. ¡°Nope, next idea?¡±

    Catherine said, ¡°Why not bake a cake for Zhao Yao. Don¡¯t they all say to capture a man¡¯s heart, start by capturing his stomach?¡±

    Elizabeth tilted her head and thought about it. She pictured Zhao Yao¡¯s happy face when he saw the cake as he stroked her head and said, ¡°This cake is delicious. Elizabeth did you make it especially for me? What a good girl, I will support you on your stream tonight.¡±

    After picturing that, Elizabeth smiled and nodded. ¡°Let¡¯s make a cake! I will give a cake to Zhao Yao!¡±

    The supercats in the Cat caf¨¦ started to get busy. The good thing was that in the 18th storey building, there was a kitchen, gas, oven, and all the equipment needed.

    Elizabeth and her sisters were researching and watching videos on how to bake a cake at night. At the same time, they ordered the ingredients they needed online secretly and asked for them to be directly sent to Matcha¡¯s construction site.

    For the next few days, Elizabeth worked during the day on her live stream and at night went to prepare the cake after Zhao Yao fell asleep. She only slept two to three hours every day. Although she tried her best, no matter how hard she tried, she still failed. Elizabeth startedining, ¡°Why is baking a cake so hard?¡±

    Diana¡¯s eyes lit up and said, ¡°Why not make a salmon cake? Don¡¯t humans like to eat salmon too?¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao changed into the Headless Horseman and told the University Cat King, ¡°The catmint produced by Dust Ball has a long history. It can be dated back to the Qing dynasty. Did you know that Empress Dowager Cixi had a white Persian cat?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, I know.¡± The Cat King answered, ¡°I have seen it in the movies. A sexy white cat.¡±

    ¡°The catmint she consumed was the same kind of catmint that Dust Ball is producing today. One hundred years ago catmint of this quality was only found in the royal pce. You couldn¡¯t try it even if you wanted to.¡± As he spoke, Zhao Yao opened a bag of catmint and handed it to the Cat King. ¡°Come try it.¡±

    Looking at the cat¡¯s satisfied face while trying the catmint, Zhao Yao asked, ¡°How is it?¡±

    ¡°It is good.¡± The Cat King indulged in it. ¡°The taste is so pure.¡±

    ¡°Our catmint is all handmade with an old recipe. There are no chemicals added throughout the fabrication process. We are selling quality and healthy products.

    Even human food is unsafe for consumption nowadays. Think about the quality of your canned cat food. Everyone is so concerned with their health now. Do you think such a traditional, natural, and green catmint would not be a great hit?¡±

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°So? Shuini, do you want a batch of them?¡±

    Shuini nodded his head without stopping. ¡°Yes, yes.¡±

    After setting up a business route for the entire University district, Zhao Yao returned contently to the Extradimensional Belly. Once he was back, a supercat notified Elizabeth immediately. Elizabeth rushed over and told Zhao Yao. ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! I have a gift for you.¡±

    ¡°Oh do you?¡± Zhao Yao looked at Elizabeth surprised. ¡°What kind of gift is it?¡±

    ¡°Come with me and you will know.¡± Elizabeth reached out her paws and dragged Zhao Yao out of his sofa.

    Zhao Yaoughed and felt like he was being pulled away by a daughter pulling her dad. He followed her to one of the kitchens in the 18th storey building. Elizabeth opened the door with her head and shouted excitedly. ¡°Tada! Zhao Yao this is the seafood cake I made especially for you.¡±

    On the table was a palm-size cake made withrge amounts of salmon, roe, and sea urchin.

    On the cake was written, ¡°Zhao Yao, you have worked hard!¡±

    At least it was supposed to be like that.

    Now, there was only Matcha on the table. He was licking his paws which had leftover salmon on it. More than half of the cake has been eaten and there were several paw prints on it.

    Seeing Elizabeth and Zhao Yao, Matcha lifted his head and said, ¡°Elizabeth, this cake was not bad. You should change the roe to caviar. It is too salty now. You can let me taste it again after you make it.¡±

    ¡°Matcha!¡±

    After a burst of shrill scream and a series of snarls, there were sounds of the furniture being flipped over and Zhao Yao shouting.

    After separating the cats, Zhao Yao persuaded, ¡°Elizabeth, calm down. I cherish the sincerity of your gift. Will you forgive Matcha?¡±

    Elizabeth red at Matcha and looked at Zhao Yao. ¡°Zhao Yao! You are too biased towards Matcha. No matter what kind of trouble he gets into, you help him take care of it. Previously, he was removed from his position as the leader of the Royal Cat guards but you still named him as the leader for the construction site. You are always so biased that¡¯s why he has nothing to fear.¡±

    On the other hand, Matcha held onto his injured nose and said, ¡°Stay jealous fat woman. I am just so lovable. I entered Zhao Yao¡¯s house one year earlier than you. Is this how you speak to your senior?¡±

    Zhao Yao smacked Matcha on his head and said, ¡°Shut up.¡±

    Zhao Yao turned to look at Elizabeth. After looking at the golden exmation mark on top of Elizabeth¡¯s head he asked, ¡°So Elizabeth, under what circumstances will you forgive Matcha?¡±

    Elizabeth pointed to the cake and said, ¡°I stayed up for so many nights toplete this seafood cake! Matcha has to be punished!¡±

    As Zhao Yao wasforting Elizabeth, he stroked her and said, ¡°Okay, okay. So how do you want him to be punished?¡±

    Meanwhile, Matcha seized the chance when Zhao Yao was looking at Elizabeth to spit out his tongue and roll his eyes at Elizabeth.

    ¡°This idiot!¡± Elizabeth¡¯s eyes narrowed. After thinking, she suggested, ¡°Throw him out for a week. Let him understand how blessed he is right now. Let him experience how hard life gets for strays.¡±

    Roly Poly who was still following Zhao Yao around everywhere nodded his head and agreed, ¡°Elizabeth and I both know how hard life can get. That¡¯s why we are so mature. Matcha was raised in a sheltered environment since he was young. He takes everything for granted that¡¯s why he is so immature.¡±

    Roly Poly started to list the number of times Matcha screwed up. ¡°Every time something is handed to him, he fails. Like thest task at the prison, he couldn¡¯tplete it. He wasn¡¯t of much use during the ¨¹r¨¹mqi fight either. In the supercat armor, he is the least useful one. He was a bad influence when he was the leader of the Royal Cat police force. He only knows how to y Mobile Legends and use credit cards secretly.

    Furthermore, at the construction site, every cat was supposed to get one death exemption ticket but he made three cats share one ticket and kept the rest for himself¡­¡±

    Elizabeth was annoyed. ¡°Look! You favor him too much Zhao Yao!¡±

    Mission: Educate

    Mission Objective: Matcha has been getting out of hand. This has caused great dissatisfaction among the other supercats. To educate Matcha to be more mature, let him experience one week of being a stray.

    Reward: 500 experience points

    Mission Penalty: None

    After hearing what Roly Poly and Elizabeth said, Matcha quickly nuzzled up to Zhao Yao. ¡°Humph! You guys are terrible. Zhao Yao would never abandon such a cute kitty like me. Right, Zhao Yao?¡±

    Half an hourter, the door at the bottom of the building was opened and Matcha, who was carrying a small yellow bag, was thrown out.

    When the door was about to be closed, Matcha dashed between the gate to stop it from closing and plead, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! I am your favorite little Matcha. You¡¯re just going to throw me out like that? Aren¡¯t you afraid that something will happen to me?¡±

    ¡°You are no longer little Matcha but fat Matcha. It is about time for you to go out, experience the world, and burn some fat. It is time to grow up.¡± As he spoke, Zhao Yao pushed Matcha out and mmed the door.

    Matcha squatted outside the door and grunted, ¡°Humph, he will let me in soon.¡±

    After waiting for a while, Matcha was bored. He opened his bag and saw that there were three packets of cat snacks and a phone. ¡°Haha, I can y Mobile Legends. After this Zhao Yao will probablye and get me.¡±

    Three hourster, all the cat snacks were finished and the phone was low on battery. Matcha looked at the gate, astonished. ¡°Is Zhao Yao asleep? Why isn¡¯t he here to get me yet?¡±

    Then something rustled in the bushes and Matcha jumped. ¡°Who is it?¡±

    Yellow Mud (Zhao Yao district¡¯s wild supercat) stuck his neck out, sniffing about in the air. When he saw Matcha, his eyes lit up. ¡°Matcha? What are you doing downstairs?¡±

    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s you Yellow Mud.¡± Matcha heaved a sigh of relief. His ears stood up again as he replied, ¡°I am here for a walk. I haven¡¯t been seeing you aroundtely. Where have you been?¡±

    Yellow Mud sniffed at the three packets of snacks. Once he saw that the snacks had been eaten, he looked disappointed.

    When he heard Matcha¡¯s question, he answered, ¡°Recently, this district¡¯s security has been chasing stray cats away. Furthermore, this entire building is almost empty. The granny that used to feed me had moved away too. So I haven¡¯t beening.

    We shall talk next time. I haven¡¯t had dinner. I need to go.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± When he saw Yellow Mud leaving, Matcha thought, ¡°Humph, you made me wait for so long. I shall let you panic and wait for me.¡±

    ¡°Yellow Mud.¡± Matcha chased after him and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go together. I will join you today.¡±

    Yellow Mud looked at him curiously. ¡°Huh? Don¡¯t you need to go home?¡±

    Matcha answered angrily, ¡°I am not going back tonight. I am going to y all night!¡±

    As the two cats left, Zhao Yao slowly came out from the side of the door. It was beside where Matcha had been squatting. Zhao Yao was worried for Matcha and had stood at the side for three hours.

    After rubbing Roly Poly¡¯s head, Zhao Yao sighed. ¡°This guy has never been a stray cat. I feel so apprehensive about this. Let¡¯s just follow him for a while.¡± He followed Matcha and hid himself with Roly Poly¡¯s invisibility and Elizabeth¡¯s illusion so that Matcha wouldn¡¯t notice him.

    Yellow Mud brought Matcha to the dustbin. Matcha pinched his nose and his face filled with disgust. ¡°Yellow Mud, why did youe to the dustbin? There is only garbage inside.¡±

    Yellow Mud leaped into the dustbin and scrambled through the garbage. ¡°That is not true. Although there are many useless things inside, sometimes, there is leftover food. Bingo!¡±

    Yellow Mud dragged a fish head out and threw it on the floor. ¡°Today is a lucky day. It is such a huge fish head!¡± He looked at Matcha and said, ¡°Matcha, you can eat first. This is my treat.¡±

    ¡°Erm.¡± Matcha looked at the dirty fish head and looked at Yellow Mud¡¯s hungry face. He shook his paws and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I have eaten a lot of food just now. I am still full. You can eat first.¡±

    ¡°Okay, then I shall start!¡± Yellow Mud started munching on the fish head happily. Halfway through eating, someone came over and chased them away. ¡°Go away! Stupid stray cats, you messed up the dustbin again.¡±

    ¡°This guy!¡± Matcha looked at the angry man and was about to attack. Yellow Mud who was at the side pulled him away and hid in the grass.

    Matcha was mad. ¡°Why did you pull me away? I could have taught him a lesson.¡±

    Yellow Mud shook his head and said, ¡°It is our fault for messing up the dustbin. It¡¯s okay. He will leave in a while.¡±

    After the guy was gone, Yellow Mud jumped out, took the fish had and ran back.¡±Matcha, let¡¯s go.¡±

    Hearing what Yellow Mud said, Matcha wagged his tail and followed him.

    The two cats passed through the neighbourhood and Matcha followed Yellow Mud through the city as they scraped leftovers from the trash. Of course, Matcha refused to eat no matter what and Yellow Mud ate half of whatever he could eat. Then he bit on to a stic bag to pack the remaining food and left the neighbourhood with the bag in his mouth.

    Although Matcha was hungry after exercising that much, he cried out silently after seeing the leftovers in the stic bag, ¡°I, Matcha, would rather die than eat this kind of rubbish.¡±

    Zhao Yao who carried Roly Poly and followed them all the way, couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Roly Poly, you are so heavy. From now on, please don¡¯t eat dinner. You¡¯re affecting my ability to move.¡±

    Roly Poly was speechless.

    Zhao Yao thought for a moment and realized that he could not just follow them around like this. Wouldn¡¯t it mean that he would have to wander around aimlessly with Matcha? That would be too tiring.

    ¡°It seems like there is no other way but this.¡± Zhao Yao moved further away from Matcha and Yellow Mud. He opened a Dimension Portal and stepped into it. With a single thought, he activated the Deflective Field and it carried the sofa in the distance in front of the Dimension Portal.

    Zhao Yaoy rxed on the sofa. He watched Matcha through the space door as if watching a TV. His body immediately rxed, ¡°Well, now this isfortable.¡±

    Seeing Matcha and Yellow Mud walk towards another dustbin, Zhao Yao used his consciousness and the Dimension Portal started following them.

    ¡°That¡¯s right! This is much easier.¡± Zhao Yao justy on the sofa and stroked Roly Poly, who he held in his arms. The two Dimension Portals in front of him became a camera lens for Zhao Yao. As his consciousness shed, he saw a picture of everything Matcha and Yellow Mud did.

    Without permission from him or Dust Ball, anyone from the material world cannot see and touch the Dimension Portal.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s behaviour soon attracted some curious cats. Lightning came over and looked at Yellow Mud and Matcha disyed in the Dimension Portal. ¡°Zhao Yao, what are you doing?¡±

    Zhao Yao was lying on the sofa, stroking Roly Poly, while eating melon seeds said, ¡°Looking at this reality TV cat show. Matcha now has only one mobile phone and he will have to live outside for seven days and 168 hours.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Lightning¡¯s eyes lit up.¡±So interesting!¡± He immediately looked at it with gusto.

    Lightning, F¨±jin, Rakshasa, Lucifer, Diana, Catherine, Caesar, and other supercats, were all supercats who had never experienced a stray cat¡¯s life and had been fed since childhood were attracted. They came over to watch the wandering life of Matcha.

    Even Elizabeth ran over with great interest, looking at the Matcha and Yellow Mud through the Dimension Portal.

    After a while, Dust Ball also came over. ¡°Zhao Yao, what are you doing? Why can only one Dimension Portal be used? On top of it all, it¡¯s the one that is connected to Cat Ind. This means that I can¡¯t use any of them. How do I transport catmint now!¡±

    Lightning and several other supercats immediately asked her to keep quiet. ¡°Shhh.¡±

    Dust Ball was speechless, ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    Lightning whispered, ¡°Looking at Matcha pick up rubbish.¡±

    Dust Ball: ¡°What?¡±

    Just then, the supercats started to make noise.

    ¡°They have found chicken!¡±

    Lightning immediately shouted back, ¡°Where?¡±

    ¡°Oh~ It is braised chicken.¡±

    ¡°Is it nice? I have not eaten it before.¡±

    ¡°He is eating it! Yellow Mud ate it!¡±

    ¡°But his expression tells me that it wasn¡¯t really good.¡±

    Dust Ball looked at the group of enthusiastic supercats speechlessly, ¡°Are you all idiots? What is so interesting about this?¡±

    In the image projected by the Dimension Portal, Yellow Mud and Matcha finally left the neighbourhood and crossed the road. Matcha followed Yellow Mud to a dpidated bungalow. It seems to have been built for decades. The outermost house already had two big ¡°Demolish¡± signs on it.

    Yellow Mud came to a small attic where no one lived; Matcha followed. The moment they entered they heard a shriek. A wild cat was seen in the distance pressing down on a small tri-colored cat. He opened his mouth and bit on the neck of the tri-colored cat.

    The tri-colored cat that was being bitten constantly struggled. From time to time a cry was heard. It was obvious that its strength and size was not on par with that of its opponent. It was impossible to break free from the big cat¡¯s mouth.

    Yellow Mud who saw this scene immediately put down the stic bag and ran forward to give the big cat a merciless bite.

    Seeing Yellow Mud rush over, the big cat immediately released the small cat and quickly retreated. Yellow Mud chased it for a few steps and the two cats fell into a confrontation. After a while of growling at each other, at this very tense moment, Matcha shed. The big cat cried out in pain, jumped out of the window and escaped.

    ¡°Floret! Are you okay?¡± Yellow Mud trotted to the side of the small tri-colored cat. Looking at the wound on her ear he immediately started to lick it, while sighing andforting, ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ve driven the bad guys away.¡±

    The small tri-colored cat rolled into a ball and hid under Yellow Mud¡¯s body, still in shock.

    Yellow Mud put down the fish head that he had carried and ced it in front of the small cat. He smiled at Matcha, ¡°Thank you, Matcha. If it weren¡¯t for you, I would be injured again today.¡±

    Matcha rolled his eyes, ¡°You are way too weak. You can¡¯t even beat an ordinary stray cat.¡±

    Yellow Mud shyly licked his paw and said, ¡°It can¡¯t be helped. My power is useless on cats. The cats here don¡¯t eat poop but the stray dogs in the neighborhood do not dare provoke me.¡±

    The tri-colored cat hiding under Yellow Mud was smelling and licking Yellow Mud. After smelling Matcha¡¯s scent, she immediately shrunk and started to look nervous. She still poked her head out and looked curiously at Matcha.

    Yellow Mud quickly licked the back of the tri-colored cat andforted her, ¡°It¡¯s alright Floret, he¡¯s my friend.¡± Then, he pushed the leftovers in the stic bag towards her, ¡°We won the grand prize today and found a fish head! Go ahead and eat it quickly.¡±

    The tri-colored cat smelled the fish head in the stic bag, made a pleasant meow, and couldn¡¯t wait as she began nibbling at it.

    Matcha looked curiously at Yellow Mud¡¯s sister, excited. ¡°Great, Yellow Mud, so you have a sister? I am definitely bing friends with you.¡±

    Behind the space door, Lightning pped the ground and said, ¡°Hurry up and end the friendship with him, Yellow Mud!¡±

    Elizabeth also shouted anxiously, ¡°Yellow Mud, hurry and take your sister away.¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s eyes turned, as he waited. ¡°Keyword: Time Freeze...3 seconds. Brother, the sister is in front of the brother... yes...¡± His eyes filled with anticipation.

    Matcha walked up to Floret surrounded by the crowd¡¯s anxious shouting. He looked at the tri-colored cat and said, ¡°Hi, my name is Matcha. I am your brother¡¯s good friend.¡±

    Floret lifted her eyes, nced at Matcha and lowered her head again. She bit onto the fish head and hid in a corner as if she was afraid that Matcha would snatch her food.

    ¡°Do you think I would snatch food from you?¡± Matcha spoke to her gently. ¡°Although I may look ordinary, I am a Scottish Fold from Jianghai. My family owns a cat caf¨¦. We even have an ind on off the shores of Jianghai. I can bring you on a fishing trip if you like.¡±

    Everyone behind the Dimension Portal wasining, ¡°He is that shameless?¡±

    However, the tri-colored cat was not interested in what he said. She sized him up and went back to eating her fish head.

    Matcha nudged Yellow Mud and asked, ¡°Is your sister okay? Why is she not interested in such a perfect guy like me?¡±

    Yellow Mud was a bit embarrassed as he exined, ¡°Floret is an ordinary cat. She does not understand what we are talking about.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Matcha looked at the tri-colored cat who was gobbling down the fish head and was surprised. ¡°She has not awakened?¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡± Yellow Mud nod his head and said, ¡°Floret was born at the same time as me, but she has not been awakened. Furthermore, her leg is injured, so I bring her food every day to take care of her.¡±

    As he spoke, Yellow Mud licked his sister¡¯s fur and cleaned it for her.

    All the supercats behind the Dimension Portal meowed gently. They looked at Yellow Mud and Floret sympathetically.

    After eating, Floret looked satisfied as she started licking her own fur. After cleaning herself, she yawned, hobbled towards a paper box and slept inside free of worries.

    For an ordinary cat, hunting, eating, cleaning herself and sleeping was a normal routine.

    Yellow Mud was also yawning and told Matcha. ¡°Matcha, let¡¯s sleep. It is very cold at night.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Matcha was speechless, ¡°You guys sleep so early?¡±

    Yellow Mud nod his head and said, ¡°Yeah, what else can you do after eating? Only with sufficient sleep will we have the strength to look for food. We need to go look for food again after midnight.¡± He pointed to the box Floret was sleeping in and told Matcha. ¡°I found this paper box recently, it is clean. Come and sleep in it or you will be awakened by the cold.¡±

    For Yellow Mud, the paper box beside the dustbin was very clean. But for Matcha, this box was filled with germs, dirt, and a stench from the dustbin.

    However, he couldn¡¯t bring himself to speak the truth. Hence, he said, ¡°I don¡¯t sleep that early. You can go and sleep first.¡±

    Yellow Mud nodded his head. ¡°Okay then. We shall sleep first.¡±

    He watched Yellow Mud and his sister squeeze together in the paper box and Floret kept nudging towards Yellow Mud¡¯s stomach. Matcha sighed and looked at the moon outside the window.

    ¡°Aye... It is so boring.¡± Matcha ced his bag down. ¡°Moments like these are made for ying a game of Mobile Legends.¡±

    When he turned on his phone, he was stunned.

    ¡°There is only 7% of the battery left!¡± He suddenly recalled that he had yed three hours of Mobile Legends when he was under the block.

    ¡°Damn it. I can¡¯t y a game with 7%¡±

    Matcha was looking at the low-battery phone when he suddenly remembered. ¡°I have left for so long, shouldn¡¯t Zhao Yao be worried sick? ¡±

    In Matcha¡¯s imagination, after Zhao Yao went downstairs and realized he had left, Zhao Yao shouted and looked for him anxiously. ¡°Little Matcha! Little Matcha! Where are you?¡±

    Then he shouted exasperatedly, ¡°Ahhh! I regret everything now! Why did I throw you out!¡±

    ¡°As long as you cane back! I am willing to hand you all the savings from the Cat caf¨¦ and Cat Ind!¡±

    As he thought of it, he giggled and opened WeChat. ¡°Humph. Maybe he¡¯s already looking for me.¡±

    He scanned through updates and was disappointed. ¡°No one mentioned that I ran away from home? What a bunch of cold-blooded creatures.¡±

    Thinking of this, he messaged Old Cat and asked, ¡°Old Cat, how is Zhao Yao? Is he worried sick? Is he very anxious, stressed, and remorseful?¡±

    Old Cat squinted and looked at Zhao Yao who was ying with his phone on the sofa and answered, ¡°He looks very normal.¡±

    ¡°What?!¡± Matcha was extremely disappointed and continued asking, ¡°What about the other supercats? Did they feel for me? Are they opposed to Zhao Yao¡¯s tyranny?¡±

    ¡°Nope, everyone is the same. They look pretty happy.¡±

    ¡°These ungrateful brats!¡± Matcha was annoyed. ¡°They were all lying to me!¡±

    After a while, Matcha realized that his phone had run out of battery. He stared at the ck screen and let out a howl.

    ¡°Damn it. What am I going to do now?¡±

    Matchay on the floor and staring at his ck phone screen in despair. It was so early. Normally at this time he was still high from ying. How could he fall asleep?

    He was rolling around on the ground and thinking about his current situation.

    ¡°Damn, I want to go home.¡±

    ¡°What should I do next?¡±

    ¡°No matter what, I should charge my phone first.¡±

    After a while, Matcha fell asleep unknowingly.

    On the other side of the Dimension Portal, all the cats watched this scene with great interest.

    ¡°He is asleep! He is really asleep!¡±

    ¡°He moved! He moved! His right leg just moved!¡±

    ¡°Look! Look! Floret is about to turn!¡±

    In his sleep, Matcha rolled into the paper box and cuddled together with Yellow Mud and Floret as it was too cold.

    Zhao Yao yawned and told Dust Ball. ¡°Dust Ball help me look after Matcha and record it for me.¡±

    Dust Ball looked at Zhao Yao speechlessly, ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°I will have to trouble you.¡± Zhao Yao stroked Dust Ball¡¯s head and said, ¡°You will watch after Matcha for me. If there is anything just call me. I still have to work and meet the Cat Kings tomorrow to promote the catmint.¡±

    When he saw that Dust Ball was unwilling, he continued. ¡°Be good. Matcha is so useless, you don¡¯t want him to die outside too right?¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Dust Ball sighed, ¡°I will look after this useless cat.¡± She mumbled, ¡°It¡¯s not because I am afraid that something will happen to him. It is because I enjoy watching him suffer.¡±

    Matcha slept in a paper carton, his paws facing the sky, snoring extremely loudly. He had no awareness of his surroundings at all.

    In his groggy state, he felt something butting him. Matcha shifted his paws and said, ¡°Don¡¯t push me, Zhao Yao, let me sleep another minute.¡±

    Matcha immediately reacted. He was not at home. Opening his eyes, he saw Floret sniffing his body. Noticing that Matcha had awakened, Floret fled off in fright, hiding behind a pile of rubbish, nervously watching Matcha from a distance.

    ¡°What is there to be afraid of?¡± Matcha waved his paw at Floret and said, ¡°Come over Floret, big brother will give you milk to drink.¡±

    Behind the Dimension Portal, cold rays emitted from Dust Ball¡¯s eyes. ¡°Disgusting fellow.¡±

    Diana said, ¡°This Matcha is too much. How can he bully a little kid?¡±

    Roly Poly shouted, ¡°Teach him a lesson Dust Ball. Open the Dimension Portal and teach him a lesson.¡±

    Dust Ball squinted her eyes and said, ¡°I promised Zhao Yao not to open the Dimension Portal recklessly, however...¡±

    In an abandoned attic, Matcha edged closer to the hidden Floret andughed heinously. ¡°Floret,e over here, let big brother lick your fur.¡±

    At this instant, an explosion rang. A block of brick hurtled past him and Matcha dodged in the nick of time by activating Time Freeze.

    Matcha wiped an imaginary line of cold sweat from his head and said with a smug face, ¡°Ha! Thank goodness I am agile and casually evaded it. Why did a brick suddenly fly towards me?¡±

    As he thought about it, wind and thunder roared. Matcha stared with his big eyes and looked upwards with an rmed expression. Tens of bricks abruptly fell down while his Time Freeze was cooling down. Matcha was so frightened that he curled like a ball, trembling in fright.

    A loud rumble rang in the air. Secondster, Matcha opened his eyes and discovered that he was not hit by any of the bricks. He immediate covered his chest and inhaledrge gasps of air. ¡°Scared me to death. This old house is too unsafe. A pile of bricks falling like that.¡±

    On the other side of the Dimension Portal, the cats pped their hands in celebration.

    ¡°Good!¡± Lightning watched with relish. ¡°Let¡¯s have another go!¡±

    Roly Poly shouted earnestly, ¡°Dust Ball, may I throw?¡±

    Dust Ball raised her brow and said, ¡°Sure, fifty per throw.¡±

    Roly Poly immediately said, ¡°I¡¯ll pass. Looking at other cats tossing isn¡¯t that bad after all.¡± He sighed regrettably as he thought, ¡°To think that I, Roly Poly, have been a hero for life, but after owing Zhao Yao, my life has be poorer.¡±

    Meanwhile, Matchay in the attic for half a day and only managed to get up with some difficulty. He felt his stomach wiggle and emit rumbling sounds. ¡°I feel hungry all of a sudden. Yikes, I haven¡¯t eaten from yesterday till this morning. I am famished.¡±

    At that moment, Yellow Mud jumped in from the window and released the stic bag from his mouth, pouring out the food on the ground.

    Matcha was surprised and asked, ¡°Yellow Mud, you went out so early to find food?¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡± Yellow Mud nodded and said, ¡°Everyday I have to search for food in the rubbish before it is cleared. I intended to bring you along but you were so sound asleep so I didn¡¯t call you.¡±

    Yellow Mud recalled the process of waking Matcha¡ªpushing wildly for half a day, even pressing on his nose to nearly suffocate him, Matcha didn¡¯t even wake up.

    Yellow Mud frowned, looked at Matcha, and said, ¡°Matcha, after sleeping for a night, you must be hungry. My harvest was pretty good today. I even found a whole sausage. Quick, try it.¡±

    Matcha squinted his eyes and looked at the food on the ground. His eyes revealed signs of hesitation. ¡°Looks pretty dirty... but I am famished...¡±

    Two dayster.

    Yellow Mud returned with a bag of food in his mouth. Arge and a small figure scurried over and took the food. They poured the contents of the bag on the ground and began eating voraciously.

    Matcha said surprised, ¡°We have struck the lottery, there¡¯s fishtail today.¡± Floret curled up her tail, and held her chin up and chest out as she meowed happily as if agreeing with Matcha¡¯s words.

    Looking at both big and small cats eating happily together, Yellow Mud narrowed his eyes and said, ¡°Well... Matcha... Do you want to follow me tonight to look for food?¡±

    ¡°Wah?¡± Matcha backed up and inadvertently ran into Floret. ¡°I can¡¯t. I have to stay at home to protect Floret. What if other wild cats bully her? You are Floret¡¯s brother. I don¡¯t think you will want to see your sister pregnant one day?¡±

    Yellow Mud looked at Matcha speechless. He felt as though he was carrying a mountain on his back. ¡°This Matcha is voracious... even more than both Floret and me... I feel so tired...¡±

    Watching Yellow Mud¡¯s expression darken, Matcha pounded his chest and said, ¡°Yellow Mud, don¡¯t worry. Do not be deceived by my wild cat looks. My family is very rich. Zhao Yao and the rest are worried sick about me and want me to go back. When I go back, I will pay back my debt with money and ensure that you have fish for every meal.¡±

    Yellow Mud sighed and said, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you going home to look?¡±

    Matcha was discouraged and he thought, ¡°The cell phone battery is t, so I do not know what¡¯s going on at home.¡± Constantly confronted with Yellow Mud¡¯s constant gaze, Matcha thought for a while until he had a sh of genius. ¡°Okay, I will go back and take a look.¡±

    A few hourster, Matcha carried a small bag and left the attic. Yellow Mud was at the window and he said, ¡°Matcha, you really don¡¯t want me to apany you? Do you remember the way?¡±

    ¡°No, there¡¯s no need. I remember the way.¡± Matcha thought, ¡°Well, I¡¯ll find a ce to charge my cell phone first. Then I¡¯ll ask about the situation at home. Humph, after charging it, I¡¯ll order takeaway sushi for Yellow Mud and Floret and surprise them.¡± He imagined the pleasantly surprised expressions of the two cats after seeing the sushi.

    ...

    ¡°Wah!¡± Yellow Mud walked round and round the takeaway box. ¡°What is inside? Is it edible? What a fragrant smell! Matcha, you are awesome!¡±

    ¡°Meow! Meow!¡± Floret would paw at the sushi box, sniffing here and there and she gazed at Matcha with adoration.

    ...

    At this thought, Matcha smiled sillily. He was very satisfied and thought, ¡°Must find a proper ce for charging, let me think...¡± The next instant, Matcha¡¯s eyes brightened. ¡°Yes, find Fish Ball!¡±

    Meanwhile, as Matcha left, the supercats in the Extradimensional Belly immediately shouted together.

    Diana sped her paws and said with a pair of misty eyes, ¡°Matcha has left, let¡¯s make use of this opportunity to bring Yellow Mud and Floret over.¡±

    Roly Poly was eager and said, ¡°Yes, although Matcha is a vagrant, he is highly dependent on Yellow Mud. That¡¯s too easy andfortable for him. It is good to bring Yellow Mud and Floret over and let them enjoy Matcha¡¯s life. Switch their roles so that Matcha will live a true vagrant life.¡±

    ¡°I agree!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s do that!¡±

    Every supercat entered the discussion and started hollering.

    Under the gaze of all supercats, the mistress of the Extradimensional Belly and the Dimension Portal, Dust Ball, nodded her head and said, ¡°Let¡¯s wait for Zhao Yao¡¯s return and report to him. In the meanwhile let¡¯s follow Matcha and watch.¡±

    After the departure of Matcha and the Dimension Portal, Yellow Mud initiated his n.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go Floret.¡±

    Meow? Floret looked strangely at Yellow Mud as he shoved a dirty rat toy, worn-out scratching board, a piece of ck carpet into the bag.

    ¡°We are moving Floret.¡± Yellow Mud said seriously, ¡°This Matcha is too voracious and yet he is unwilling to hunt for food. A vagrant¡¯s life is cruel. With him around, we will break down with his insatiable appetite.¡±

    He slung the bag over his shoulder and brought Floret outside. His face showed his guilty conscience. ¡°Sorry Matcha, we need to survive. You have your four limbs and your superpower is greater than mine. As long as you are willing to work, you will never starve to death.¡±

    Floret followed behind with a muddled face, oblivious of what was happening.

    Meanwhile, Matcha had a level eight Time Freeze, so safety was not a concern. However, he had never been so far away from home, so after taking detours, losing his way, taking naps and breaks, he only arrived at Xiaoyu¡¯s home in the evening.

    ¡°I remember Fish Ball saying... it¡¯s the third floor?¡±

    He climbed up the water pipe with great effort and arrived at the windows. However, it was locked so he knocked on the window, shouting, ¡°Fish Ball! Fish Ball,e out and y! It¡¯s Matcha, Fish Ball!¡±

    Unfortunately, Fish Ball did not appear. Instead, a dog¡¯s face appeared. His eyes stared at Matcha.

    ¡°Er.¡± Matcha hesitated for a while and smiled at the husky. ¡°Greetings Noodle, I am Matcha, Zhao Yao¡¯s Matcha. May Ie in to charge my cell phone?¡±

    Husky stared at him with his lifeless eyes, jumped off from the window sill and pulled up the curtains.

    ¡°D*mn dog!¡± Matcha knocked wildly on the windows and shouted, ¡°Fish Ball! Fish Ball! Come out! Your big brother Matcha is here.¡±

    Suddenly, the curtains were pulled away, showing Noodle¡¯s head. Matcha grinned and said, ¡°Noodle, help me open the door. I am friends with Fish Ball and we are like brothers.¡±

    Noodle held a writing board in his mouth and ced it on the window sill. After that, he jumped off and pulled the curtains again.

    Matcha looked at the words on the writing board, ¡°Bug off.¡±

    Argh! The green veins on Matcha¡¯s forehead pulsed and his ws screeched across the window pane. ¡°D*mn dog, wait till Ie inter... I will beat him to death, then feed him feces.¡±

    At this thought, Matcha immediately walked along the window sill and leaped to the wall on the other side. He extended his ws to grip onto the rocky part of the outer wall and climbed towards the other window sill.

    However, just when hended on the window sill, the Husky¡¯s head reappeared. The figure of a dog shed with brushing sounds of movement and thereafter all windows were securely locked.

    Matcha flew into a temper. His paws pounded on the ss and he scolded, ¡°D*mn dog! You are purposely picking a fight! Where is Fish Ball? Get him here!¡±

    Noodle merely nced at Matcha with scorn, then raised the board with the words, ¡°Bug off.¡±

    Looking at the cat and dog fight, Fish Ball, who was on the other side of the Dimension Portal, stood up with excitement. ¡°Finally, it is my turn to enter the fray!¡±

    Following Dust Ball¡¯s activation of the Dimension Portal in Xiaoyu¡¯s house, Fish Ball squirmed out from the portal and leaped onto the window sill.

    On seeing Fish Ball, Matcha was worked up and he said, ¡°Fish Ball! You have finallye! Help me open the door!¡±

    Fish Ball said with a face of masked innocence, ¡°Eh, Matcha? Why are you here?¡±

    Matcha almost blurted out on how he was being chased out and wanted to recharge his cell phone. However, after thinking, he felt it unwise to say so. If Fish Ball cowered under Zhao Yao¡¯s despotic power and refused to release him, what would he do?

    As such, Matcha rolled his eyeballs and said pretentiously, ¡°Uh, I thought we are close so I came today to pay you a visit. Won¡¯t you wee me?¡±

    ¡°Why not?¡± Fish Ballughed heartily but he thought resentfully, ¡°D*mn Matcha, fortunately, I am well informed or else I might have inadvertently aided a sinful cat. Will I not be implicated and answerable to Zhao Yao?¡±

    After the heartyugh, Fish Ball straightened his face. ¡°No Matcha, my house was installed with surveince monitors recently. If Xiaoyu discovers that I let in other cats, she will skin me alive.¡±

    Matcha begged, ¡°Any blind spots? I can enter via the surveince¡¯s blind spots. If not, you can help me charge my cell phone, the battery is t.¡±

    ¡°Not possible.¡± Fish Ball stole a nce at Noodle and said, ¡°That d*mn dog is watching me the whole time, if I help you, he will tell on me.¡±

    ¡°What!¡± Matcha thought, ¡°Perhaps God wants me dead?¡±

    At this time, the main door of Fish Ball¡¯s home opened. The trio of dog and cats looked over and saw Xiaoyu entering. She noticed two cats on the window sills¡ªFish Ball on the interior and Matcha on the exterior.

    ¡°Eh?¡± Xiaoyu scrutinized Matcha and said, ¡°Is this a wild cat? Looks familiar?¡±

    Spirit Cat flew out from the back of Xiaoyu, controlling the cell phone and saying, ¡°Xiaoyu, this fellow is Matcha, a supercat from Zhao Yao¡¯s side.¡±

    ¡°Uh?¡± Xiaoyu immediately looked at Matcha, her eyes illuminating. She walked to the window and flung it open. ¡°Please enter Matcha.¡±

    Matcha meowed and swaggered in.

    Meanwhile, Xiaoyu poured a bowl of cat food for Matcha and said, ¡°Have your meal first Matcha. I have some homework to finish, after that, I shall y with you.¡±

    Xiaoyu grabbed Fish Ball and walked to her room. After cing Fish Ball on the table, she patted on his head and a soft gentle white light emitted from Fish Ball¡¯s face, illuminating the entire table top like a deskmp.

    Xiaoyu took out her homework and thought at the same time, ¡°I wonder what abilities Matcha has. I guess he is more useful than Fish Ball, who is only saving my monthly electric bill and not much of a use.¡±

    At this thought, Xiaoyu worked more diligently on her homework. ¡°Hehe, if Matcha is powerful, I shall keep him here.¡±

    Fish Ball was bored stiff as he illuminated the tabletop and looked at the words on Xiaoyu¡¯s homework. He immediately felt groggy, his eyelids became heavier and the light dimmed.

    Xiaoyu pped Fish Ball¡¯s head and admonished, ¡°Don¡¯t switch off the light.¡±

    ¡°What? You¡¯re unable to lend your ability?¡±

    Bam! The main door was mmed open and Matcha was flung out of the house by Xiaoyu.

    ¡°Disgusting little primary school student. You don¡¯t know how powerful I am.¡± Matcha chided as he got up. ¡°Thank goodness my cell phone is charged.¡± At this thought, he was very pleased and embarked on his return journey.

    On returning to the attic, he discovered that Yellow Mud and Floret had disappeared.

    ¡°Eh?¡± Have they gone out?¡± Matcha scratched his head and intended to order an online takeaway and let the delivery man leave it on the ground floor. The online payment failed.

    After a long while, the attic rang with a scream. ¡°Ah! My bank card is frozen?!!¡±

    ¡°Ran out of food. Yellow Mud and Floret... why aren¡¯t they back yet?¡±

    Matcha held his chest as he felt pain in his heart.

    ¡°s, let me y a round of Mobile Legends to get over my shock.¡±

    ...

    Behind the Dimension Portal, Zhao Yao, who was busy for the whole day,id on the sofa, watching Matcha¡¯s performance. Shaking his head, hemented, ¡°Rubbish, not a single trace of progress.¡±

    Zhao Yao was busy with the catmint business for the past two days so he was not concerned with Matcha¡¯s affair. Based on today¡¯s observation, Matcha had not matured at all.

    ¡°And, where are Yellow Mud and Floret? Why are they missing?¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin puzzled.

    Dust Ball was also puzzled and she replied, ¡°Not sure, at this time, maybe they are out finding food?¡±

    Zhao Yao furrowed his brows. Although it was a bit strange he didn¡¯t think much. He felt that Matcha had not matured. He was out for two days and yet he had not learned how to find food.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s main focus was not on Matcha so, after a quick update on Matcha, he diverted his attention on his ns.

    The catmint market expansion was very effective. Based on the reputation of the Headless Horseman, most of the cat kings orded respect and supported the Dust Ball catmint, especially as it was of high quality. Hence the market expansion proceeded smoothly.

    Meanwhile, the poprity of Elizabeth also soared with Zhao Yao¡¯s relentless support. He rewarded more than tens of thousands¡¯ worth of rockets daily. Simple, brute splurging but extremely effective.

    Zhao Yao opened up Douyu and noticed that there would be a broadcaster poprity event next month. The rules wereplex, however in simple terms, it meant that the ranking was based on the reward value spent by the fans.

    Zhao Yao was pleased after reading the notice. ¡°Very good, let me splurge on Elizabeth so that she will be the top ranking broadcaster. Then my mission will be aplished.¡±

    Zhao Yao inquired from Uncle Ho regarding the current situation and got to know that the King of Death hadunched no expansion but rather an intensive redeployment of manpower. It was not known what they were preparing for.

    ¡°Still in development.¡± Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°Currently the two sides arepeting. Let¡¯s see who finishes the preparation first to gain the upper hand.¡±

    Next, Zhao Yao contacted Sphynx cat. ¡°How are Zhao Xue and the rest doing? Any danger?¡±

    Sphynx cat lifted his head and looked¡ªZhao Xue and another feline girl were twisting their body and doing various warming up poses. He replied Zhao Yao, ¡°No danger.¡±

    Sphynx cat pretended not to notice when he received Zhao Yao¡¯s request for photographs.

    That day, Sphynx cat followed Zhao Xue, Ah Yuan, and Yellow Bro along the aqueduct to an abandoned schoolpound. Besides Zhao Xue, Ah Yuan and Yellow Bro were two other feline girls.

    ording to Sphynx cat¡¯s overheard information, in addition to this group of feline girls in front of him, there was another group which was also resisting the evil organization.

    That evil organization was the influential force responsible for inventing the cat transformation medicine.

    However, Sphynx cat couldn¡¯t be bothered. He only wanted Zhao Xue to quickly learn the transformation ability so that he could bring her back.

    After replying Zhao Yao¡¯s message, he curled up into a ball and emitted rumbling sounds like a normal supercat snoring in slumber.

    However, Sphynx cat¡¯s rumbling sounds were extremely loud, like the depressed rolling of thunder before the summer storm. The muscles and bones in his entire body vibrated incessantly.

    It looked as though Sphynx cat was sleeping, however, he was training. Because his constitution had be stronger, he felt that the efficiency of his training method was low.

    After deliberating for a long time and with repeated experimentation, he had discovered this method of internal training. Although he was not moving, his bones, muscles, and organs were moving minutely. Each minute movement was an exercise using his full strength.

    Because all the training was carried out within Sphynx cat¡¯s body and the forces inherently neutralized each other, externally, besides the loud snoring, there was nothing special to be seen.

    On the other side of the room, a young girl with white cat ears was facing Zhao Xue and mentoring her on the transformation. ¡°... The crux of the transformation is the control of your automatisms, such as your heartbeat, blood flow, breathing. They are your automatisms, all you need to do is discover them and control them...¡±

    Rumbling sounds.... more rumbling sounds...

    When she heard the loud snoring, Zhao Xue smiled in embarrassment. ¡°Apologies Fu Mi, the snoring of Sphynx cat is a bit loud.¡± The girl before Zhao Xue looked younger than her, definitely not older than sixteen or seventeen. She was the leader of this feline cat unit hence Zhao Xue was very respectful of her.

    The white feline girl, Fu Mi, shook her head and said, ¡°Zhao Xue, the situation is getting more dire by the moment. Our enemy is pursuing our trails relentlessly and the final battle may happen any time. The time I have to train you is short. You have to learn diligently and master the transformation ability as soon as possible.¡±

    Zhao Xue said, ¡°Mentor, actually my brother is also an apostle. Do you see the need to call him for help?¡±

    Fu Mi gave a wry smile and shook her head. ¡°It is of no use. Normal apostles are of no use in this battle. As you do not understand, non-humans like us have far superior fighting prowess than those apostles.¡±

    She sighed and said, ¡°Think about it, once the feline girl masters the transformation ability, she will be able to activate the power in the blood serum and awake powerful Psychokinesis. In addition, she has the half human, half cat body, which possesses far superior strength, speed, reaction, acuity, and insight. The movements of normal people are slower than snails in our perception.

    This means that we have the Psychokinesis and Super Constitution superpower, however, we have not reached our limit yet. We are still able to use our half-human body to borrow supernatural abilities from supercats and, at the same time,bine three of these abilities. This is not as simple as one plus one plus one equals three. Our power is greater than normal apostles by two dimensions. We are the only ones left to defeat the evil organization.¡±

    On hearing Fu Mi¡¯s words, Zhao Xue thought, ¡°Combining three superpowers within one body and being gifted with super reaction, agility, insight, we are far superior to a normal apostle.¡±

    At this instant, Zhao Xue remembered King George endowing her with a super strong body.

    ¡°After transforming into a human, my constitution is already stronger than the feline girls. After transforming into a feline girl, my body has further developed.¡± Zhao Xue did some mental calctions. ¡°If I awaken my Psychokinesis and borrow a cat¡¯s supernatural ability, then my power will be greater than all the feline girls. In that case, I will be able to protect everyone.¡±

    Zhao Xue made her decision. However, she recalled a previous doubt. Since Fu Mi was present, she asked, ¡°Sister Fu Mi, since I have mastered the transformation ability, why is my awakened ability Psychokinesis?¡±

    Fu Mi exined, ¡°Because the cat transformation medicine was extracted from the same supercat. His superpower was Psychokinesis. So once we are awakened, our abilities are all Psychokinesis.¡±

    Zhao Xue¡¯s eyes brightened and said, ¡°If we extract different medicine from different supercats, aren¡¯t we able to have different awakened supernatural abilities?¡±

    Fu Mi gave a wry grin and said, ¡°You are making it too simple. Even the cat transformation medicine itself had arge random factor and is only effective on apostles. The odds are one in a hundred sess rate.

    A failure means the loss of the apostle potential. A more serious consequence may cause death. To invent other varieties of cat transformation medicine is not that easy. We may have to sacrifice thousands and millions of apostles for testing.¡±

    Zhao Xue was shocked. It was her first time getting to know the dire consequences of a failed attempt at a cat transformation. Previously, she only heard from Ah Yuan on how the failure was devastating and the details were concealed. After hearing Fu Mi¡¯s exnations, she realized that the process would almost always lead to death.

    Fu Mi continued exining, ¡°The cat transformation medicine was not created by us. It was the perverted Professor Xu from the House of Cats that invented the medicine. His initial intention was to transform all the women in this world into feline girls.

    If the cat transformation medicine develops further, it will not be good news for us. It means that the House of Cats has be stronger and it will be more difficult to stop them.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Fu Mi waved her hands and said, ¡°Do not be bothered by this. Practise the transformation energy until you master the ability. After that, awaken your Psychokinesis, then borrow a supernatural ability. By then, you will be able to help us.¡±

    At this time, Ah Yuan, in the form of a feline girl, rushed in while carrying Yellow Bro, who was covered with blood and almost dying. Ah Yuan shouted, ¡°Fu Mi! Bad news, Ah Yuan is seriously wounded!¡±

    Fu Mi¡¯s expression became solemn. She walked up and said, ¡°Do not panic, put her in the treatment room. I will get my mum to bandage her.¡±

    Ah Yuan was quickly carried into the treatment room. Then Zhao Xue and Ah Yuan waited outside. Zhao Xue observed the worried face of Ah Yuan and wanted to console her but she was at a loss.

    At this time, two feline girls of simr age to Ah Yuan walked in. One was orange and the other ck. They waved their tail as they came in, their ears quivering. Upon entering, the ck feline girl asked, ¡°Ah Yuan? How is Yellow Bro? Is the injury serious?¡±

    ¡°Ah Zhe! Shui Yao!¡± Ah Yuan lifted her head, sobbing as she said, ¡°We went to find new feline girls but was ambushed by the fellows from the House of Cats. They had acquired new abilities, making it very difficult to deal with them, thus Yellow Bro was injured.¡±

    The ck feline girl Shui Yao was fuming as she said, ¡°The disgusting House of Cats, I shall teach them a good lesson next time!¡±

    The orange feline girl Ah Zhe said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Fu Mi¡¯s mum is very good at healing and the constitution of us feline girls is very strong. Yellow Bro will be fine.¡±

    Ah Yuan nodded her head, snuffling as she said, ¡°Yes.¡±

    Suddenly, the door of the treatment room opened. Fu Mi pushed out Yellow Bro while a middle-ageddy in white robe walked out. She was Fu Mi¡¯s mum, a surgeon. She had been treating the injuries of the feline girls.

    Everyone rushed forward. Yellow Bro was sitting in a wheelchair, her body covered with numerous bandages and her face was as pale as a sheet.

    Ah Yuan rushed to the forefront. Seeing Yellow Bro, she asked, ¡°Yellow Bro, are you alright?¡±

    Yellow Bro¡¯s pair of ears drooped down dispirited. She grabbed Ah Yuan¡¯s palm as tears welled up in her eyes. ¡°Ah Yuan, I feel like eating steamed custard buns.¡±

    ¡°You only know about eating.¡± Ah Yuan¡¯s eyes were red as she said, ¡°Once you are well, I will buy a whole carton for you. Now quickly recover.¡±

    Shui Yao said, ¡°Yellow Bro, have a good recuperation. I avenge you in the next two days and beat the as*holes from the House of Cats until their heads are full of big bun bruises.¡±

    Fu Mi exhibited her leadership and shooed everyone out. ¡°Okay, let Yellow Bro have a good rest. This time, a few of her bones were broken. Although she has the strong constitution of a feline girl, a good recuperation is still required.¡±

    Zhao Xue initially thought that the serious injury was an ident, however, the next few days showed that the situation between the feline girls and the House of Cats had be more dire.

    Ah Yuan, Ah Zhe, Shui Yao were inflicted either with serious or superficial injuries over the next few days. Their time outside also dwindled. Fu Mi, who was the leader, had be more and more sombre. It was obvious that they had fallen into a disadvantaged position in the conflict with the House of Cats.

    On that day in the training room, following a series of strong shing light, Zhao Xue transformed into a white feline girl. Only this time, it was her initiative. She had mastered the transformation ability.

    Fu Mi was overjoyed. ¡°Excellent Zhao Xue, I do not expect you to master the trick of the trade in less than a week. You are the fastest learner amongst us.¡±

    Zhao Xue cuddled her flurry ears and felt a numbing and yetfortable sensation. On hearing Fu Mi¡¯s words, she thought, ¡°It may have something to do with my superior constitution.¡±

    During this period of interaction with the feline girls, she had noticed a pattern. After taking the cat transformation medicine, the younger the age and the stronger the constitution of the female apostle, the higher the chance of sess.

    She was the oldest among the feline girls, ording to logic, her chance of sess should be the lowest. The only reason was that her constitution was far superior and it helped increase her sess rate.

    Fu Mi¡¯s white tail waved in curiosity. With a face of anticipation, she said, ¡°Zhao Xue, quickly test if you can activate the Psychokinesis. If it is sessful, I will bring you over to borrow superpowers.¡±

    On Fu Mi¡¯s side, were two supercatpanions, who were able to lend out their abilities every day.

    Recently, as the situation had be more dire, it was not known how the House of Cats managed to find supercats that possessed superior superpowers, causing the feline girls to be disadvantaged in every conflict against the House of Cats. Fu Mi was hoping that the joining of Zhao Xue would narrow this gap.

    Zhao Xue concentrated her consciousness and the can in front of her was crushed into a ball.

    Fu Mi¡¯s eyes lit up and she said, ¡°Very good. You have mastered the power of transformation and psychokinesis. Now, all you have to do is to borrow another power to perfect your abilities.¡±

    Zhao Xue nodded her head and activated her psychokinesis. Watching the can fly around her, she thought to herself, ¡°What a useful power.¡±

    Sphynx cat also raised his head from his meditation and looked at Zhao Xue. He nced over Zhao Xue¡¯s ears and tail as he thought to himself, ¡°So ugly.¡±

    Then, he observed Zhao Xue activate her psychokinesis and frowned. ¡°It is not really impressive but it can¡¯t be belittled either.¡±

    The attacking power of psychokinesis was insignificant to Sphynx cat. However, the troublesome part was that psychokinesis was too fast. If he wasn¡¯t careful and got lifted up by psychokinesis, half of his powers would be useless.

    Sphynx cat made a mental note. ¡°If I ever meet this kind of opponent, I must not give them the chance to lift me up.¡±

    When Sphynx cat saw that Zhao Xue was going with Fu Mi to borrow powers, he stood up and stretched. After his bones cracked, he jumped off the table and apanied Zhao Xue.

    Meanwhile, Fu Mi said, ¡°Sphinx Cat, during the process of lending powers, others cannot enter. Can you wait here for a while? My apologies.¡±

    Until now, Sphynx cat had been following Zhao Xue around and never leaving her side. Fu Mi knew that he was here to protect Zhao Xue under her brother¡¯s orders. He seemed to have the power to strengthen his physical body and appeared to be equally fit as the feline girls.

    Zhao Xue had only mastered her transformation powers that day. She could transform into a human, feline girl or cat at her wish. Hence, these past days, Sphynx cat had not had the chance to lend Zhao Xue his powers.

    However, Sphinx cat had already told her that her strong physical abilities were from him and not from George.

    Before this, Zhao Xue had also seen Sphynx cat raising barbells that weighed several tonnes in the Extradimensional Belly. What Zhao Xue didn¡¯t know was that to Sphynx cat, the barbells weren¡¯t even enough to count as warm up. Normal gym equipment could no longer satisfy Sphynx cat. He was using himself to train himself.

    Zhao Xue once asked Sphynx cat if he could lend his powers to the other feline cat. But, she was rejected immediately and he refused to give an exnation.

    Naturally, Sphynx cat would not tell Zhao Xue the after-effects of his powers. Furthermore, he was not a rookie in the superpower realm or someone waiting to show off his new found powers. He didn¡¯t want to expose his powers andbat strength.

    The experienced Sphynx cat waited beside Zhao Xue like a hunter, hiding his abilities and only using them to give a deadly blow when needed.

    As even Zhao Yao, who was so powerful, wasn¡¯t invincible, Sphynx cat had to treat all unknown enemies with great caution and not expose himself as a target.

    Not to mention that the feline girl¡¯s psychokinesis was a threat to him.

    Watching the feline girls in front of him, he sighed. This was a superpower battle. Even if he was so strong he could kill these feline girls in a split second, due to the characteristics of his powers, the feline girls still posed a threat to him.

    Even if he worked out for more than 20 hours every day, he would be defeated with one look from Elizabeth.

    If Sphynx cat knew that Zhao Yao could achieve the same effects of his hard work if Zhao Yao pressed the level up option on the BOOK, he would probably be even more depressed.

    Looking at Sphynx cat who was distracted. Zhao Xue nudged him. ¡°Sphynx cat?¡±

    Sphynx cat looked at them and said, ¡°You guys can go ahead. I¡¯m fine with it.¡± He twitched his ears. He could hear what was happening on the entire campus. If there was any trouble, he could rush to Zhao Xue anytime.

    Hence, Fu Mi brought Zhao Xue to borrow powers. On her side, there were two supercats. One was with Fu Mi. The other one was with the other group of feline girls.

    Fu Mi brought Zhao Xue to the basement. From a distance, they could hear women talking. It seemed like they were watching a video.

    When they walked in, Zhao Xue saw a white Garfield cat with orange stripes sitting in front of a screen, staring at the Ragdoll cat in theputer. The woman¡¯s voice wasing from theputer. It seemed like a programmed female voice was speaking for the Ragdoll cat.

    ¡°Please support Lizzie! Meow! If you sign up for a card today, you get to participate in our lucky draw. Our prize is 10 packets of Dust Ball Catmint.¡±

    Upon seeing the Ragdoll cat on the screen, Garfield cat turned around and looked at Fu Mi. ¡°Fu Mi! I want to buy Dust Ball Catmint! Help me buy the catmint!¡±

    Fu Mi frowned as her tail drooped down unhappily. ¡°Didn¡¯t you just buy catmint?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t care!¡± Garfield cat started rolling around on the floor and whined, ¡°I want Dust Ball Catmint! I want Dust Ball Catmint! I want Dust Ball Catmint! Ah~~~ If you don¡¯t buy it for me, I am not going to eat.¡±

    Fu Mi rolled her eyes and her tail was sweeping around impatiently. ¡°Okay, I will buy it for you.¡±

    Zhao Xue who was behind Fu Mi watched her tail sweep around with great interest. Her pupils contracted and couldn¡¯t resist the urge to grab onto her tail.

    Fu Mi turned back in annoyance, moved her tail and asked, ¡°Zhao Xue, why did you grab onto my tail?¡±

    Zhao Xue smiled awkwardly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I don¡¯t know why but I just couldn¡¯t resist grabbing it.¡±

    Fu Mi opened her mouth and snarled like a cat. ¡°Don¡¯t touch tails, just like cats, after we be feline girls we don¡¯t like it when others touch our tails. Don¡¯t touch our heads or tails. Do you get it?!¡±

    Fu Mi red at Zhao Xue after speaking.

    Zhao Xue was confused ¡°Why I can¡¯t I touch it?¡± Then, she couldn¡¯t help but stroke Fu Mi¡¯s head and Fu Mi¡¯s body shuddered as she narrowed her eyes. However, the next moment, she struggled and took a few steps back. She looked at Zhao Xue in dismay. ¡°I told you not to touch me.¡±

    Although Zhao Xue called Fu Mi ¡®Fu Mi Senior¡¯, Fu Mi was only around 16 years old. Zhao Xue¡¯s eyes lit up as she bullied Fu Mi. She suddenly felt like being a feline girl was not that bad...

    ¡°Why do you have such a huge reaction when I touch your head?¡± Zhao Xue asked curiously. ¡°And why can¡¯t I touch your tail?¡±

    Fu Mi looked at her curious eyes and protected her tail immediately. She blushed as she said, ¡°Cats.. cats love it when they are stroked on the head and tail. When we be feline girls, we like to be stroked on our heads and tails too.¡± She red at Zhao Xue and warned, ¡°Hence, you shouldn¡¯t touch them.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay. I won¡¯t touch it.¡± Although Zhao Xue still wanted to try, looking at Fu Mi¡¯s wary look, she gave up on that thought. She thought to herself, ¡°So it feels good? I shall go back and try it myself.¡±

    Then, Fu Mi asked the Garfield cat to lend Zhao Xue its powers. After a while, a dozen shadows could be seening out from Zhao Xue.

    This power was the power of the Garfield God from the WeChat group. It could summon shadows forbat.

    Fu Mi nodded and said, ¡°This power is very useful for us. The shadow soldiers possess our strong observation and reaction speed. As long as we give them strong weapons, theirbat strength will increase.

    Furthermore, they are not afraid of death. When they are dead, we can just summon another one. Summoning a soldier requires a lot of physical strength, for ordinary humans, summoning a few times would be their limit. But for us half cats, it is nothing. This is equivalent to carrying an unbeatable army with us all the time.

    We can also control them to fight at the front line with our super fast reaction abilities. We can hide at the back and attack or defend ourselves with psychokinesis. When met with danger, we can also summon them to deal with the danger.¡±

    At first, Zhao Xue was not very impressed with this power. After listening, the power felt impressive. It was an infinite army of soldiers, whenbined with weapons and feline cat¡¯s fast reaction and psychokinesis, the possibilities to these were endless.

    Zhao Xue tried it immediately. She saw the shadow soldiers in front of her disappear and appear behind her, then disappear again and appear on her right. She could control the position of the shadow soldiers within 10 meters.

    Zhao Xue asked curiously, ¡°What weapons do you have?¡±

    Fu Mi raised her head proudly and about 20 shadow soldiers appeared around her. All of them were pointing the different models of rifles, machine guns and snipers towards Zhao Xue.

    Zhao Xue gasped in shock. ¡°Where did you get so many guns from? Why do your shadow soldiers have guns the moment you summon them? Why don¡¯t my shadow soldiers have them?¡±

    She wasn¡¯t surprised that Fu Mi could summon more shadow soldierspared to her, as this just meant that Fu Mi¡¯s character was morepatible with this power.

    There was a smug smile on Fu Mi¡¯s face as she said, ¡°We snatched these weapons from the House of Cats. Every shadow soldier can carry weapons that weigh less than 30kg. As long as they equip themselves with these weapons, the next time they are summoned, they will still be carrying the weapon. They will carry it until the weapon is damaged or the bullets have been used up.¡±

    Zhao Xue¡¯s eyes lit up even more. Just by thinking of it, she coulde up with more than 10bat strategies to use with this trait. Combined with her feline girl¡¯s physical abilities and psychokinesis, normal apostles will be no match for her.

    That night, when Fu Mi, Ah Yuan, Yellow Bro, and the rest were celebrating the awakening of anotherpanion, a feline girl brought bad news.

    ¡°What! Luoluo and the rest have been caught?¡±

    Upon hearing the news that the maroon feline girl had brought, everyone was stunned. Luoluo was the leader of the other group of feline girls. They had worked together with Fu Mi to fight the House of Cats. Theirbat strength was about the same as Fu Mi¡¯s team.

    The maroon feline girl was a 13 years old kid with a ponytail. She was crying and her cat ears drooped. ¡°We wanted to rescue a feline girl trapped in theboratory. However, we were ambushed by the feline girls of the House of Cats. They had new powers and all our attacks were useless against them. Everyone was caught.¡±

    The little feline girl was crying as she exined, ¡°Luoluo and the others threw me out with their psychokinesis. That was how I escaped. Wh¨CWha¨C What do we do now? Luoluo and the others have all been captured.¡±

    Fu Mi asked, ¡°New powers? What do the powers do?¡±

    The small feline girl was horrified. ¡°The Feline girls of the House of Cats can turn into gas. All our weapons are useless against them, they pass through their body. The only power that could work on them was psychokinesis, but it could only hold them back. It cannot hurt them.¡±

    ¡°Then aren¡¯t we fighting the invincible? Only they can hurt us but we cannot hurt them?¡± The orange feline girl was discouraged, ¡°Where did they find such powers?¡±

    ¡°Waaaaa!¡± the little feline girl cried, ¡°Then what are we going to do? Luoluo and the others are still trapped!¡±

    ¡°You... stop crying first.¡± Looking at the little feline girl cry, Fu Mi panicked and quicklyforted her until she fell asleep.

    Fu Mi sighed, ¡°Try not to go out. Before we think of a solution to counter this new power, everyone has to stay in the base.¡±

    The ck feline girl, Shui Yao, stood up immediately and asked with dissatisfaction, ¡°What about Luoluo and the rest? Shouldn¡¯t we go and rescue them?¡±

    ¡°If we go beforeing up with a solution, we are just asking for death.¡± Fu Mi said, ¡°Anyways, everyone needs to hide in the base and think of a solution first. Transforming into gas plus psychokinesis is such a trickybination. To defeat them, we have to find a way to counter their powers.¡±

    Ah Yuan shook her head. ¡°If it is just being in a gaseous state, we still can try to trap them as pure gas cannot attack. However, they can use their psychokinesis even when they are in a gaseous state....¡±

    The feline girls fell silent. They were all helpless against this new power. All of them were frowning and depressed.

    When Zhao Xue saw this, she frowned too. After hearing the little feline girl¡¯s description, she couldn¡¯t think of a solution either.

    ¡°Feline girls possess the power of psychokinesis and strong physical abilities. They still borrowed another power. This is cheating. If the House of Cats is so strong now, how are we going to fight them in the future?¡±

    The orange feline girl suggested, ¡°Should we call the police? Let this matter fall into the government¡¯s hands?¡±

    ¡°No, those adults would only want to develop the cat transformation medicine. I don¡¯t trust them.¡± Fu Mi said, ¡°Furthermore, normal apostles are no match for feline girls. We have three different powers. Only feline girls can defeat feline girls.¡±

    ¡°She is right.¡± Ah Yuan nodded. ¡°The only way is to borrow a new power to fight them. A kind of power that can counter their gaseous state.¡±

    Zhao Xue who had been in deep thought remembered the loaning incident and about Xiaoyu who fought by her.

    ¡°I know a kind of power which may be able to fight them.¡±

    While they were discussing, Sphynx cat texted Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, I think the feline girls are going to go find Xiaoyu.¡±

    Zhao Yao was shocked when he first saw the message. Then he was overjoyed. ¡°What? Are they going to turn Xiaoyu into a feline girl too? That is a good thing. Do they need help? I can make her unconscious.¡±

    Sphynx cat answered, ¡°... No, it¡¯s not that...¡± Sphynx cat told Zhao Yao what happened.

    ...

    In the suburbs of Jianghai district, a middle-aged man who wore a pair of ck sses and a checkered shirt sat on his sofa.

    A feline girl who had white ears and was wearing a maid outfit brought a cup of coffee for the middle age man.

    The middle age man looked at the feline girl¡¯s appearance and eximed, ¡°What a perfect piece of art! Cat ears, tail, a young girl, cute and obedient. This is perfect! Women are so annoyingpared to you.¡±

    ¡°Meow!¡± The feline girl looked at the middle age man and asked, ¡°What do we do now Professor? Fu Mi and the others have taken cover. We can¡¯t find them.¡±

    ¡°Humph. Can¡¯t find them? Then what about the other ident? Smith died in Jianghai University. Where is the girl he met before he died?¡±

    ¡°She can¡¯t be found too. Her parents are also missing. We can only find her brother.¡±

    Professor Xu frowned and said, ¡°Then capture her brother and bring him to me.¡±

    Zhao Yao stared at the information provided by Sphynx cat and thought to himself, ¡°A bunch of spirit feline girls borrowing Nekomata¡¯s powers?¡± Heughed, ¡°That¡¯s pretty interesting.¡±

    Zhao Yao remembered that Nekomata¡¯s power allowed him to transform into spirit form. Spirits alternated between visible and invisible forms. The visible form allowed him to attack others and be attacked, while the invisible form allowed neither of that.

    ¡°But will the spirit¡¯s powerbined with the feline girls¡¯ power of psychokinesis allow an invisible spirit to attack others at the same time?¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought, ¡°This sounds interesting.¡±

    Sphynx cat sent another message that read, ¡°Do you want toe and see?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought for a moment before replying, ¡°No need, call me again if they can¡¯t win the fight. I have some things to settle these next two days. I wille and help them after I¡¯m done with my own things.¡± Logically speaking, thebination of Nekomata and the feline girls¡¯ powers should be enough to defeat the House of Cats. Even if they do not win the fight, there will be no threat to their lives.

    Furthermore, with Sphynx cat as their aide, Zhao Yao felt that it was only a matter of time before the House of Cats were defeated by Zhao Xue.

    For Zhao Yao however, there were only two days left before the end of the month. It was time to calcte the profits earned from the cat caf¨¦ and his share in the catmint market. There were many things to do and it was very troublesome for him. He still needed to help boost Elizabeth¡¯s poprity. On top of that, another issue hade up in the past two days.

    ¡°Someone actually dared to pose as me?¡± Zhao Yao looked at the information sent by some Cat Kings as anger shed in his eyes, ¡°Fine if you pretend to be me, but you had the guts to snatch my catmint?¡±

    Zhao Yao felt that he had to settle this issue properly. Snatching his catmint waspletely uneptable andwless.

    Coincidentally, another batch of catmint would be dispatched tonight. Zhao Yao decided to personally escort them in secret to catch the brazen culprit that had stolen his goods.

    However, before going out tonight, he still had a round of live streams to send gifts for.

    Zhao Yao opened Douyu and entered Elizabeth¡¯s channel. As Zhao Yao tipped gifts for her every day during this period, Elizabeth¡¯s poprity reached the hundreds of thousands, attracting even more viewers.

    Elizabeth¡¯s live stream fans could be divided into two big groups. One group knew that she was a supercat and treated her as the real host, while the other group thought that Elizabeth was just a normal cat voiced over by a human female host.

    The first group mostly consisted of supercats, while thetter mostly consisted of humans.

    When Zhao Yao entered the channel, he saw a user with the ID ¡®Teddy Doll¡¯ tipping a Rocket and asking in thements, ¡°Hey Host, is this cat up for sale?¡±

    Elizabeth rolled her eyes in her mind while she typed a voice message on her phone, ¡°Keke, thank you Brother Teddy for the Rocket, but Little Lizzie is only selling her craft not her body.¡±

    In a big bedroom in some city in the north, a teenage boy frowned when he saw the reply on the live stream. He typed his reply, ¡°What¡¯s with the act? Isn¡¯t that just a cat?¡±

    ¡°I can offer 50 000 RMB, just sell this cat to me.¡±

    The veins on Elizabeth¡¯s forehead popped as she forced out a bright smile while cursing ¡®MMP¡¯ in her heart.

    Though Elizabeth said nothing,ments continued to pop up on the bullet screen. Somements gushed excitedly over his offer, while othersmented how rich Teddy Doll was.

    ¡°D*mn, that¡¯s a wise move.¡±

    ¡°Stop saying that, Lizzie doesn¡¯t like it.¡±

    ¡°Leave your address here, I will scratch you to death.¡±

    ¡°50 000 for a cat? That¡¯s crazy.¡±

    ¡°Being rich makes you willful.¡±

    ¡°What do you guys know, a ragdoll costs at least 10 000. Even then, 50 000 is still a huge sum.¡±

    Teddy Doll scoffed as he tipped another Rocket. He continued toment, saying, ¡°Money is not an issue. If the host doesn¡¯t want to, I will leave.¡±

    The teenage boy had chanced upon Elizabeth¡¯s channel and thought she was an exceptionally cute cat, so he wanted to buy her. To him, offering a few thousand dors for a cat was definitely good money for the seller.

    Right at this moment, a user with the ID ¡®Your Cat Master¡¯ tipped 50 Rockets in one go andmented, ¡°Get lost, you broke ass.¡±

    Teddy Doll narrowed his eyes, annoyed. He wanted to retort by tipping a whole screen of Rockets but decided it was not worth considering the amount of allowance he had this month. He could only reply with, ¡°Tipping so many Rockets for a mere cat... what a fool.¡±

    In some northeastern city, a ck cat wearing a big gold chain on his neck was busy clicking with an annoyed look on his face. He replied in thements, ¡°Stupid human, you don¡¯t know anything.¡± As he said that, he tipped another 50 Rockets and continuedmenting, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say money wasn¡¯t an issue? Up your game!¡±

    Teddy Doll mmed the table in anger at thements. He just felt that ¡®Your Cat Master¡¯ was a madman who tipped 100 Rockets just to spite him. This amounted to 50 000 RMB. To let himself be goaded into doing the same was simply irrational and illogical.

    Seeing that the other party had be silent ¡®Your Cat Master¡¯ cackled in delight and stared lecherously at Elizabeth as hemented, ¡°Little Lizzie, be my girlfriend please.¡± Following that, he tipped another 50 Rockets in one shot.

    Seeing how ¡®Your Cat Master¡¯ had tipped 150 Rockets in one go and had even asked Little Lizzie to be his girlfriend, the bullet screen exploded withments.

    ¡°A live stream of cats f*cking each other will definitely be exciting to watch.¡±

    ¡°Being poor puts restrictions on my sexual orientation.¡±

    ¡°Boss, do you want guys? Just 10 000 will do.¡±

    ¡°No! Little Lizzie is mine!¡±

    ¡°Where¡¯s the Cat King of the West? Quick, tear this guy apart.¡±

    ¡°Two idiots,¡± Elizabeth scolded in her heart, but she giggled and said, ¡°Thank you ¡®Your Cat Master¡¯ for the generous tips, but I am not thinking of having a boyfriend at the moment.¡±

    ¡®Your Cat Master¡¯ replied, ¡°Little Lizzie, I am serious, can I add you on WeChat?¡±

    With thements and Rocket tips from ¡®Your Cat Master¡¯, the whole live stream channel grew and became super lively. Zhao Yao was secretly delighted by this, ¡°Good good, another foolish cat got hooked. It was the right move to raise Elizabeth¡¯s poprity.¡±

    While Elizabeth was still pacifying the other cat, Zhao Yaomunicated to her telepathically, ¡°Elizabeth, send him your WeChat. Let him tip more Rockets.¡±

    Elizabeth rejected his suggestion indignantly, ¡°Zhao Yao, are you still human? I won¡¯t betray my feelings for this.¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed. Seeing how ¡®Your Cat Master¡¯ stoppedmenting and tipping any Rockets, he became anxious and said, ¡°It¡¯s just adding him on WeChat and chatting casually, I¡¯m not asking you to really be friends with him. Quick, send it to him or the tycoon will leave.¡±

    Elizabeth shook her head and insisted, ¡°No!¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°Then send him Roly Poly¡¯s WeChat.¡±

    Elizabeth stared in astonishment at Zhao Yao. Roly Poly who stayed by Zhao Yao¡¯s side 24-hours round the clock stared at him as well.

    Roly Poly said, ¡°That¡¯s not very nice...¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed, ¡°You think I want Roly Poly to act as Elizabeth to chat with him on WeChat just to cheat his money?¡±

    Elizabeth thought to herself, ¡°Isn¡¯t that the case?¡±

    Roly Poly, who followed Zhao Yao every day gasped silently, ¡°If not just for the money, does it mean he¡¯s after his body as well?¡±

    Looking at their expressions, Zhao Yao seemed to have guessed their thoughts. He replied in a disappointed tone, ¡°Both of you disappoint me so much. Have you all forgotten the motive behind doing the live stream?¡±

    Elizabeth replied in a quiet voice, ¡°To be famous?¡±

    Roly Poly added, ¡°To earn money?¡±

    ¡°Wrong!¡± Zhao Yao continued, ¡°Being a host on a live stream is a job that sells dreams. It is for nerdy cats like Matcha feel that they have a pretty member of the opposite sex ying with them, for poor cats like Fish Ball to experience a life they could never have, and for fat nerds like you, Roly Poly, to interact with your goddess.

    For each lonely soul out there to find an ind of peace in the vast sea of the Inte, for those seeking warmth, dependence, andfort from each other. This is the true meaning behind being a live stream host.¡±

    Zhao Yao pointed to the screen and said, ¡°Elizabeth, you are the dream of ¡®Your Cat Master¡¯. Behind theputer screen, he might just be a fat and ugly cat that has nothing but money. This live stream gave him the chance to interact with you. WeChat would be the tform that fulfills his dream of bing friends with his goddess.

    The main point lies in the dream itself. As to whether the cat behind the screen is you or Roly Poly, does that really matter?¡±

    Roly Poly was confused, ¡°Doesn¡¯t it?¡±

    Zhao Yao stepped on Roly Poly as he said, ¡°Is that important?¡±

    Roly Poly immediately shook his head, ¡°No it¡¯s not.¡±

    ¡°So you guys are not lying to him, but helping him to fulfill his dream of interacting with his goddess.¡±

    Roly Poly thought to himself, ¡°Scumbag.¡±

    Elizabeth was gasped in her heart, ¡°Wretch.¡±

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°Roly Poly, delete the photo of yourself in your WeChat and upload a photo of Elizabeth. In the future, you will continue chatting with him so that he will continue to tip Elizabeth some Rockets. He can give you red packets directly as well and you can split half with Elizabeth.¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s expression changed immediately as he said with a serious voice, ¡°I understand now. We are not creating a dream but are the middlemen transporting dreams and earningmission from it.¡±

    Elizabeth controlled theputer and gushed excitedly, ¡°Roly Poly quick, I sent him your WeChat already.¡±

    Zhao Yao stared at Roly Poly and Elizabeth working together with satisfaction as the poprity of the live stream rose to new levels.

    The poprity of the live stream was not bad so Zhao Yao did not tip any more Rockets. He grabbed Roly Poly who was using WeChat and turned into the Headless Horseman again as they went to the catmint field.

    When he saw him approaching, Cannon from Japan, who had been focused on nting catmint eximed, ¡°Zhao Yao, you¡¯re finally here! That d*mn guy actually stole our catmint. If I was still the old me, I would have scratched him to death.¡±

    ¡°Alright, that¡¯s enough,¡± Zhao Yao patted the agitated Cannon and thetter immediatelyy t on the floor, giggling with pleasure. Zhao Yao asked, ¡°How¡¯s it going? Have the goods been prepared for today?¡±

    ¡°They have already been packaged, Dust Ball will also being to dispatch them personally.¡±

    Zhao Yao found Dust Ball, who was pacing around menacingly. Though she was only the size of his palm, her actions gave off the feel of a tiger guarding its territory as she paced around the box of catmint, staring at everyone as if they were all thieves.

    She rxed a little upon seeing Zhao Yao. ¡°Zhao Yao, I wille with you this time. I must catch that d*mn guy.¡±

    Zhao Yao pacified Dust Ball and reassured her that she need note along. Afterall, given how capable Dust Ball was at guarding the catmint, on top of the superpowers in the Extradimensional Belly, he was afraid that Dust Ball would not give the other party a chance to steal the catmint at all.

    Following Zhao Yao¡¯s advice, Dust Ball gave up on her n toe along. Zhao Yao chose Red Packet and Fish Ball to go with him instead.

    ...

    It was past midnight. The field was dead quiet without a single soul around. It looked empty and forlorn.

    More than 10 wild supercats walked discreetly towards the track bordering the field. Their leader was the fat orange cat that resembled Matcha.

    ¡°Mao Bro,¡± a multi-colored cat beside Fat Matcha said, ¡°Looks like the cat rascals of that Headless b*stard aren¡¯t here yet.¡± The Headless b*stard, Zhao Yao, had gained another nickname for himself in the supercat realm in Jianghai. That was what most of the cats selling catmint called him.

    Seeing no reaction from Big Bro Mao, the multi-colored cat said again, ¡°Heard that recently a few transactions had been intercepted and snatched by other people. The snatcher ims to be the Headless Horseman. Maybe that Headless b*stard is double-crossing us?¡±

    ¡°What double-crossing nonsense?¡± fat Mao Mao said, ¡°We are legitimate business cats doing legitimate business. Selling catmint is not illegal, so how is that double-crossing? We arew-abiding citizens being robbed.¡±

    The multi-colored cat continued, ¡°But, we didn¡¯t pay tax. Previously the supercats from the government came to collect tax from us saying that we are operating illegally and that they will fine us.¡±

    Mao Mao was enraged by his words and shouted, ¡°Pay what tax? We supercats will never pay tax!¡±

    ¡°They want me to pay tax? I would rather die!¡±

    ¡°Good!¡±

    ¡°Well said!¡±

    ¡°We would rather die than pay tax!¡±

    Hearing these words, the cat underlings behind them all raised their paws and cheered in unison. The gravity of supercats evading tax in Jianghai was obvious.

    As the emerging generation of smart lives on Earth, thesewless supercats were born with tax-evading genes. The cats saw paying tax as an insult and evading tax as an honor, inciting much criticism and concern from the higher authorities.

    To tackle this issue, Uncle Ho and his team had organized a special unit of tax-collecting supercats, who were responsible for chasing the supercats in Jianghai to pay tax. Mao Mao and his cats were on the cklist of the tax-collecting unit, ssified as parties to be strictly monitored.

    Just as Mao Mao and his underlings chanted their catchphrase, Red Packet and Fish Ball had arrived on the other end of the field and slowly walked towards Mao Mao.

    Both parties locked eyes and Fish Ball dropped the bag of catmint held in his mouth as he asked, ¡°Here are the goods, where¡¯s the money?¡±

    Mao Mao let his underling push a luggage forward. Opening the luggage revealed a mountain of coins and some notes scattered around. ¡°The money is all here. I want to inspect the goods!¡±

    Fish Ball nodded and Mao Mao looked at the multi-colored cat beside him. The multi-colored cat walked up and shed the bag of catmint with his paw, leaving some catmint dust on his paw. He sniffed the bag slightly before breaking into a rxed smile.

    He nodded at Mao Mao and said, ¡°There¡¯s no problem Boss, it¡¯s the real stuff.¡±

    Fish Ball continued, ¡°Don¡¯t worry Mao Mao, our Dust Ball Catmint has always been the purest.¡±

    ¡°Business is still business. I have so many cat brothers under me, so I have to be careful.¡± Mao Mao gestured to his underlings, who proceeded to push the money to Fish Ball.

    Just as Fish Ball was about to take the money, sirens rang out from all directions as rays of bright light shed in the sky.

    ¡°It¡¯s the police!¡± Mao Mao hollered at Fish Ball, ¡°Fish Ball! You tricked me?!¡±

    A loud meowing sounded out, ¡°You¡¯re caught red-handed! You guys are involved in unlicensed transactions and evading tax! You have all been surrounded, stop resisting and surrender yourselves!¡±

    Fish Ball stuck out his paw instantly and snatched back his catmint, shouting, ¡°There are too many police officers here. Today¡¯s transaction is canceled. Let¡¯s all try to escape!¡±

    Apanying the police light and loud yelling, numerous apostles rushed forward and started capturing supercats.

    Although many supercats were captured, more than half of them used their abilities to break the siege. Red Packet and Fish Ball, under the cover of Zhao Yao, grabbed the catmint in their mouth and escaped.

    As they passed by arge building, a person in a ck robe, whose head was covered by ck cloth, gazed at the movement of the two cats. He looked almost like the Headless Horseman.

    He was ck Panther, the guy who was rescued by Zhao Yao from the hands of King of Death.

    Ever since he had be brothers with the King of Death and was rescued by Zhao Yao, he felt a difference in the world when he activated his own superpower.

    When he shut his eyes and start sensing the locations of his brothers, his mental space shed densely with countless illuminated spots.

    Numerous strangers that he had not known before had be potential stabbing targets. ck Panther felt very weird and puzzled.

    ck Panther was not aware of the abilities of the King of Death. After he became brothers with the King of Death, therge number of puppets controlled by the King of Death also became his brothers¡ªThis was not known by ck Panther either.

    If Zhao Yao or Uncle Ho saw the image that ck Panther had, they would understand that the current puppets controlled by the King of Death had far surpassed all the numbers they were previously shown.

    Hence, ck Panther made use of the puppets of the King of Death to activate Teleportation and the effect was simr to lighting up the map.

    Looking at the distant Red Packet and Fish Ball who were fleeing, ck Panther closed his eyes. ¡°Near here... there are two...¡±

    He ran in the direction of Red Packet and Fish Ball and disappeared in the next instant. A scream rang in the night sky, ck Panther apologized and continued his pursuit. After running for tens of meters, his body shed and knocked down another passer-by.

    ¡°Sorry!¡± After bowing, ck Panther bolted again. This time, he managed to stop in front of Red Packet and Fish Ball.

    Upon the appearance of ck Panther, Red Packet and Fish Ball were shocked. They were specially selected by Zhao Yao because they were the weakest of the supercats, so they were easy targets and baits for the perpetrators.

    When they saw someone impersonating the Headless Horseman, Red Packet immediately said, ¡°Fish Ball, let¡¯s throw the catmint away and flee. It is not wise to fight...¡±

    He turned his head to look while speaking, only to discover that Fish Ball had already ditched the catmint at their location and he had fled to a far distance of more than ten meters.

    ¡°This fellow...¡± Red Packet was fuming as he scurried.

    ck Panther saw the two cats dropping the catmint and then fleeing. He shrugged his shoulders and walked to the front of the catmint. ¡°This is an object of illegal transactions. I, the Headless Horseman, shall be Robin Hood and rob the rich and give to the poor.¡±

    ¡°Robin Hood?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s voice rang behind ck Panther, who turned around and joyfully eximed, ¡°Headless mentor?¡±

    Zhao Yao said with a gloomy expression, ¡°ck Panther, why did you impersonate my identity and steal my catmint? You want to be Robin Hood?¡±

    ¡°Heh, heh, heh, heh.¡± ck Panther gave a hollowugh. ¡°Just joking. Do I dare to steal from my Headless mentor? I have a question for you. The old man who captured me thest time, who exactly is he?¡±

    After being rescued by Zhao Yao, ck Panther was made unconscious and left by the roadside. So he was not able to listen to the conversation between the King of Death and Zhao Yao. Therefore he was in the dark regarding the identity of the King of Death.

    There was one thing that ck Panther was very clear about. Ever since he acknowledged the King of Death as his brother and that period was his only acknowledgment with the King of Death, his superpower revealed a densework of brothers.

    Hence, he robbed Headless Horseman¡¯s catmint just so that he could understand the identity of the King of Death and figure out what actually happened.

    As Zhao Yao and ck Panther were conversing, in a distant high-rise building, a middle-aged man put down his binocrs and said to his cell phone, ¡°Boss, ck Panther and Headless met.¡±

    ¡°D*mn. Didn¡¯t I order you to capture ck Panther at all costs? Why did you let them meet?¡± The cell phone on the other end emitted the exasperated voice of the King of Death. During this period of time, he was annoyed by ck Panther as he would be stabbed in the kidneys frequently, as though a fly was whizzing by his ears and he could not swat it.

    He especially hated when ck Panther always appeared behind the puppets of the King of Death, frightening him. Even though he was unwilling to face off Zhao Yao, he sent a small team in secret to Jianghai, hoping to figure out ck Panther¡¯s problem.

    After an exasperated scolding by the King of Death, the middle-aged man asked, ¡°Boss, shall we make a move?¡±

    ¡°D*mn you... do you not see where the Headless Horseman is?¡± The King of Death exhaled deeply. ¡°Withdraw, find another opportunity.¡±

    Every time the ck Panther shed, the King of Death was able to sense it as most of the stabbings were on his kidney. Hence he had many opportunities to find ck Panther.

    ¡°The only headache is Headless Horseman. Zhao Yao, what are you going to do about this fellow?¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, on the street, Matcha was sitting down at a kebab stall by the cross-roads, gazing at a passer-by. Matcha saw him holding a kebab and could not resist drooling.

    At this moment, Matcha¡¯s fur had dried and the ends split. His body was as thin as a rake and he looked almost like a stray cat.

    The man only nced at Matcha before hurrying off. He had no intention to be bothered.

    ¡°I am famished. After eating the cat food strewn by the youngdy, I have not eaten for twelve hours...¡± Matcha gawked at that man with the kebab in his hand, his nose sniffed the aroma of the meat and he drooled all over the floor. An impulse arose to steal.

    ¡°Activate Time Freeze, activate Time Freeze, steal the kebab and run. Nobody will know.¡±

    ¡°No, Matcha, you are a righteous cat. Stealing is wrong.¡±

    ¡°If not stealing, are you thinking of picking through trash?¡±

    ¡°Picking through trash is tiring. I better continue my begging beside the kebab stall.¡±

    Looking at the receding kebab, Matcha stood up subconsciously and tailed that man. The man looked back at the orange cat and felt terrified by its gaze. He quickened his pace, only to find his stalker, Matcha, quickened his pace too.

    As Matcha¡¯s resolve was beginning to waver and he was about to activate Time Freeze to steal the kebab, loud yells and sounds of police cars rang from a distance.

    Matcha yawned. ¡°It is sote into the night and they are still chasing people?¡±

    The next instant, a soft sound was heard. A floret cat dropped from a flower terrace. It carried a huge suitcase. The cat fainted in front of Matcha and the luggage was knocked open, spewing out money before Matcha¡¯s eyes.

    Looking at the sudden movement, Matcha was dumbstruck. That floret cat lifted its head to look at him and uttered, ¡°Fur... fur...¡±

    Before finishing, the cat passed out.

    In the far distance, several government apostles ran over and shouted, ¡°Found him!¡±

    ¡°Do not move!¡±

    Matcha¡¯s eyes shed and emitted green rays.

    ¡°Cops?¡±

    ¡°Laundered money?¡±

    A series of images appeared in his mind¡ªsupercat criminals pursued by cops and escaping the siege with their stolen goods, however, due to serious injury, they copsed unconscious.

    Hence, Matcha hesitated for about 0.1 seconds before activating Time Freeze. He shoved the money from the luggage into a small yellow bag in a wild frenzy.

    ¡°Allundered money!¡± As he shoved the money, he thought, ¡°It is a pity if I do not take theundered money, which is stained with numerous sins. May as well use it to relieve this pitiful stray cat and umte some merits for theundered money.¡±

    The small yellow bag was shoved to its full capacity and it looked as though it was going to explode. Matcha hadpletely emptied the luggage of money. He surveyed the frozen cops and the copsed floret cat, then bolted.

    After fleeing to a small alley, Matcha opened up the small yellow bag overflowing with money andughed heartily. ¡°Fleeing after stealing money, that is d*mn exciting.¡±

    ¡°Having so much money, it is time for me to enjoy myself.¡± At this thought, he slung the money over his back and disappeared into the sewers.

    During this period of time, Matcha was trying to make a living on the streets but with poor results. However, he had a better understanding of the situation of the wild supercats.

    With the money in his hands, he would not patronize the human malls. Rather, he was taking the money to Cat Street to splurge.

    Cat Street was a subterranean ck market where lots of supercats and apostles gathered. Once, Red Packet and Lightning had shopped at the Cat Street of ¨¹r¨¹mqi and were targeted by cat smugglers.

    ...

    Meanwhile, behind the Dimension Portal, Lightning was unable to find Matcha and he panicked. ¡°Dust Ball, are we allowed to look for Matcha?¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes.¡± Elizabeth said, ¡°Not sure if he is able to beg for food today.¡±

    Dust Ball shook her head and replied, ¡°Not in the mood. Wait for my catmint toe back first.¡± She looked at the other side of the Dimension Portal where Zhao Yao and ck Panther were conversing.

    Momentster, Zhao Yao brought the catmint, which was ditched by Fish Ball, into the Extradimensional Belly. Following him was ck Panther, who was disguised as the Headless Horseman.

    ck Panther was astonished seeing the Extradimensional Belly and the hundreds of supercats. ¡°Is this the secret base of my Headless mentor? So many supercats? This is too awesome!¡±

    Zhao Yao waved his hand and brought ck Panther to Cat Ind. At the same time, he tossed the catmint to Dust Ball and proceeded to the Cat Ind. With regards to ck Panther, he had a lot of issues to settle.

    Dust Ball sighed in relief after recovering the catmint. Lightning reminded her, ¡°Dust Ball, time to look for Matcha.¡±

    ¡°You are too concerned about Matcha, what is so interesting about a useless cat? Dust Ball controlled the Dimension Portal and scanned the streets. It was not long before they spotted a fat orange cat running in the green belt.

    Lightning gazed at the plump version of Matcha on the other side of the portal and asked bewildered, ¡°This Matcha, how did he gain so much weight?¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, Matcha had arrived at Jianghai¡¯s Cat Street. The spacious subterranean street was full of humans and supercats. There were makeshift stalls, brick and mortar shops, and lots of food outlets and entertainment spots. ording to hearsay, this underground space was constructed using the superpower of a certain cat king. Because of its spaciousness and discreet location, which was not easily found by normal people, it flourished.

    Cat Street was filled with both good and bad people. A few powerful cat kings and their men overlooked the ce, ensuring basic order.

    In order not to be swindled, one had to be street wise.

    Matcha walked arrogantly along Cat Street, carrying a bagful of money. He felt his back straightening up.

    ¡°Fresh Japanese Wagyu jerky, lowest price in the market!¡±

    ¡°My boss ran away with the dog! We had to sell these cell phones at low prices!¡±

    ¡°Underground cat fight is beginning! Cat fight grandmaster battling Tibetan Mastiff! Quick,e and watch!¡±

    Matcha caressed his growling hungry stomach. He intended to have a sumptuous meal and found thergest cat restaurant on Cat Street. Sitting down on a paper carton, he asked, ¡°What delicious food do you have?¡±

    ¡°We have crispy barbecued rat, snowy beef jerky, carrot and ewe¡¯s milk pudding...¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay.¡± Matcha licked his lips and said arrogantly, ¡°Give me one of each!¡±

    After being satiated, he left the restaurant and strolled leisurely on the lively and busy Cat Street. ¡°So much money in the bag, if I do not finish spending it, I won¡¯t feel at ease.¡±

    After walking a few rounds, Matcha found a female cat in a small alley waving to him. Matcha¡¯s eyes brightened and he willingly scurried over.

    The female cat said, ¡°Mister Handsome, want some service?¡±

    Matchaughed heartily and said, ¡°Of course, what services?¡±

    The female cat blinked flirtatiously at Matcha and said, ¡°Mister Handsome,e in and you¡¯ll know.¡±

    Matcha followed her into a small ck house. When the light was lit, tens of female cats streamed in.

    The leading female cat said to Matcha, ¡°Mister, these are our servicedies. They¡¯re all pretty, with good singing voices and services.¡±

    Each female cat introduced herself.

    ¡°Mister, servicedy number one, Ie from Dong Bei.¡±

    ¡°Greetings Mister, I am number two from Japan.¡±

    ¡°Greetings, I am number three from Hainan.¡±

    After listening to their introductions, Matcha opened his mouth and his ears quivered excitedly. ¡°Good, Dong Bei¡¯sdies are vigorous. I want thedy from Dong Bei.¡±

    All servicedies left except number one, who walked up to Matcha and said, ¡°Greetings Mister, I offer a small job, medium job, andrge job, which do you prefer?¡±

    ¡°Therge one! Of course, therge one!¡± Matcha wagged his tail excitedly. ¡°I have nock of money.¡±

    ¡°Mistery downfortably. Let me service you.¡±

    Matchaid down with a face of anticipation. He felt a soft tongue licking his fur.

    ¡°I¡¯ll start by licking the fur. Would you like to clean your bottom part of your body too?¡± Matcha breathed deeply and white mist seemed to blow out from his nostrils.

    One hourter, Matcha gawked at the ceiling and asked with a tired expression, ¡°Little sister, you have licked for one hour, if you continue, I will be licked bald. When do we proceed to the next stage?¡±

    ¡°Mister, you have selected full body, three hundred and sixty degrees, no dead spot,rge fur licking job, just a bit more and it is almost done.¡±

    Ten minutester, Matcha walked out of the house fuming as he looked at his body which was full of saliva. ¡°Scam shop! A scam shop!¡±

    Matcha was so furious, he found another restaurant and binged ate and drank. Waving his bag full of money, he continued binging and made friends with two supercats. As they were sniffing catmint, one of them said, ¡°Matcha, do you know the most exciting ce on Cat Street?¡±

    Hearing that, Matcha¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°Where is it?¡±

    ¡°Hehe,¡± the other cat smiled mysteriously and waved at Matcha as he turned around.

    The three cats stumbled to the front of a mysterious door.

    ¡°ce your final bets!¡±

    ¡°I won again! Hahahaha!¡±

    ¡°Lend me 1000, someone lend me 1000! I will recover my losses for sure!¡±

    In a big hall packed with all kinds of supercats, all eyes were fixed on a big screen at the front end of the hall. The screen showed more than 10 dogs racing each other on a track. When all the dogs had crossed the finish line, the whole hall erupted into a ruckus. The ones that won cheered excitedly while those that lost sighed dejectedly.

    The supercat beside Matcha briefly exined, ¡°We are all supercats, a normal casino won¡¯t be able to stop us from ying dirty tricks with our powers, hence the Boss of Cat Street came up with this idea of betting on dog-racing, so no supercat can cheat. It¡¯s super exciting.¡±

    ¡°Dog-betting?¡± Matcha¡¯s eyes lit up as he stared at the dogs on the screen excitedly.

    After half an hour, Matcha stared at the winning dog on the screen and jumped in rage, ¡°ce 100 more for me!¡±

    After an hour, Matcha¡¯s face was fuming with anger as he shouted, ¡°ce another 100 for me on No. 3, I don¡¯t believe he won¡¯t win.¡± Sadly, when he opened his bag, he realized he had no money left.

    ¡°Sir, you have no more money?¡±

    Matcha scoffed and took out his phone as he replied, ¡°I just bought this Huawei phone a year ago, can I mortgage it for 500? ce my bet on No. 3 again!¡±

    After half an hour, Matcha walked out furiously and mmed his small yellow pouch in front of him, ¡°Trade this for 100 RMB.¡±

    The other party stared at the bag and said, ¡°Sir, this bag is only worth 10 dors at most.¡±

    ¡°This is a branded bag I bought from Tokyo, can¡¯t you tell?¡± Matcha screamed, ¡°What about my fur, how much can you give me for that?¡± As he said that, he reached down and grabbed a whole bunch of orange fur out.

    ¡°Sir, we do not ept fur as coteral here.¡±

    After a few minutes, Matcha slumped on the floor in anger, covering his eyes with his small white paws, looking like he was in agony.

    A cat with a sharp chin resembling an inverted triangle stared at him from afar and said curiously, ¡°Is that Brother Mao Mao of the Cao Gang?¡± The supercat beside him nodded, ¡°Looks like it, but he looks much slimmer now.¡±

    The inverted triangr face walked up andughed as he said, ¡°Brother Mao Mao, long time no see. Why did youe here to bet on dogs?¡±

    Matcha let down his paws and stared at the inverted triangr face in front of him in confusion.

    The other partyughed gleefully, ¡°Lost all your money? Do you want to borrow some money to recover your losses?¡±

    Matcha jumped up immediately and said, ¡°Yes! Brother, I have already figured out the rules of this game. As long as you give me a chance, I will win until this dog-racingpetition falls apart.¡±

    After an hour, Matcha zoomed out of the dog-racing betting hall and ran for his life.

    A bunch of supercats followed right behind as they screamed, ¡°Stop running!¡±

    ¡°Pay us back!¡±

    ¡°Catch him!¡±

    ¡°Stop right there!¡±

    Matcha screamed, ¡°Only idiots would stop!¡± But the other party would not let him off so easily. One by one, the supercats unleashed their powers of teleportation, ground burrowing and passing through walls to catch up with him. Matcha could only rely on his time freeze to avoid them.

    Suddenly, as Matcha turned at a corner he bumped into a cat and started cursing, but he realized that the cat in front of him was the one who lent him money.

    ¡°S*it!¡± Matcha was scared to death as he thought to himself, ¡°I spent all his money.¡± He raised his head and saw more than 10 other supercats ring at him from behind, all covered with scars, bald or fierce-looking muscles.

    ¡°D*mn, one look and I can tell that these guys are not good cats. I must drag time and drag it until the time freeze ends.¡± Just as Matcha thought of that, the multi-colored cat eximed in shock, ¡°Boss, why have you slimmed down so much?¡±

    Matcha paused for a moment as his eyeballs whirred with his thoughts. He replied, ¡°Because I was worried for you, so I lost weight from worrying about you.¡±

    The multi-colored cat was evidently touched, ¡°Boss!!¡±

    Right at this moment, the loan shark cats caught up with them, ¡°Catch that d*mn orange cat!¡±

    The multi-colored cat screamed back, ¡°Who dares to touch our Boss!¡± The bunch of cats behind him came forward and stood in line as their powers of fire, wind, and rocks burst out from their bodies.

    The leader of the loan shark cats said, ¡°Cao Gang, your Boss owes...¡±

    Matcha rushed forward and punched that cat as he shouted, ¡°Kill them all!¡±

    ...

    Behind the dimension portal, Lightning, Ares and Elizabeth eyed the Fat Matcha, Mao Mao, on the other end of the portal suspiciously.

    Especially after seeing how the other party expertly threatened the stray cats and snatched their food, they became even more suspicious of him.

    Lightning remarked, ¡°This guy...¡±

    Ares frowned, ¡°He¡¯s not Matcha right?¡±

    Elizabeth stood up immediately and said, ¡°We lost Matcha! Quick, go tell Zhao Yao and let Zhao Yaoe and find him!¡±

    However, just when she stood up, Dust Ball bit on her tail to hold her back. Elizabeth turned and saw Dust Ball staring pitifully at her as she said, ¡°Don¡¯t tell Zhao Yao please, he instructed me to keep watch on Matcha. If he knew I lost Matcha this time, he would definitely get angry at me.¡±

    Elizabeth shook her head and said sternly, ¡°Dust Ball, although Matcha is an idiot, he is still one of us. Now that we¡¯ve lost him, he might get sold overseas at any minute given his limited intelligence. We have to inform Zhao Yao immediately, Zhao Yao will definitely be able to find Matcha quickly.¡±

    Dust Ball held back the tears in her eyes as she nodded, ¡°Okay.¡±

    Zhao Yao, who was chatting with ck Panther on the Cat Ind, received the news quickly. He frowned and looked at ck Panther, ¡°ck Panther, I kind of get what you are saying. This situation is veryplex.¡± As he said that, he took out a phone that could connect to the Cat Web and passed it to ck Panther, saying, ¡°You can search Ivory and King of Death here. If you still decide to take the risk with me after reading all that, I will bring you along.¡±

    ck Panther nodded and said, ¡°I understand, Headless mentor.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and walked away with his phone in his hand, ¡°These stupid cats, I really can¡¯t trust them with tasks. Luckily, I made preparations beforehand.¡± He sent a message with his phone, ¡°Luckily, I installed a location tracker on Matcha¡¯s phone, let me check now...¡±

    ...

    After half an hour, a headless Zhao Yao appeared in the dog-betting hall donned in a ck robe. When he appeared, the whole hall broke into chaos.

    ¡°The Headless Horseman!¡±

    ¡°The headless one is here!¡±

    ¡°Everybody run!¡±

    Looking at the supercats fleeing in all directions, the dog-betting hall emptied in an instant. Zhao Yao pursed his lips as he stared at the staff cat worker of the dog-betting hall trembling in fear and thought, ¡°His location was shown to be here, why don¡¯t I see Matcha?¡±

    He thought for a bit before he whipped out his phone and showed a photo of Matcha asking, ¡°Have you seen this cat?¡±

    The cat in question replied immediately, ¡°Mao Mao from the Cao Gang? This guy owes the loan shark cats a mountain of debt, he ran away just now.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 640: Finding Matcha and the Feline Girls¡¯ Sudden Attack</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    Hearing the cat¡¯s words, Zhao Yao thought of the real Mao Mao that Dust Ball and the other cats had told him they were following.

    Thinking of that, and hearing how Matcha raked up a huge debt with the loan sharks, a murderous look shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes. However, he kept his cool as he asked, ¡°Where did he run to?¡±

    Meanwhile, in the Mao Restaurant along Cat Street, inside the biggest cardboard box, more than 10 supercats from the Cao Gang gathered around Matcha.

    ¡°Boss, you were so brave just now.¡±

    ¡°Yeah Boss, I thought your punches were getting weaker, but actually you¡¯re so agile.¡±

    Matcha was so nervous he started dropping fur from his body. He forced out augh, ¡°That¡¯s no big deal.¡±

    A multi-colored cat beside him asked, ¡°Boss, what about the money?¡±

    ¡°Money?¡± Matcha trembled as heard that. His fur started dropping even faster.

    The multi-colored cat nodded, ¡°Yeah Boss, weren¡¯t you the one who took the money from me and ran away to distract the police from chasing me further?¡±

    Matcha paused for a moment and thought to himself, ¡°This cat¡¯s imagination... is better than mine.¡± He sighed, ¡°It¡¯s hard to describe in a few words.¡±

    The multi-colored cat asked, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me the money was stolen?¡±

    Matcha sighed, ¡°Yeah.¡±

    The crowd of cats shouted agitatedly, ¡°Who snatched the money!¡±

    ¡°Who dared to snatch our Cao Gang¡¯s money!¡±

    ¡°Mutte him!¡±

    ¡°Throw him into the Huangpu River to feed the fish!¡±

    Hearing the cheers from the cats around him, Matcha felt that his fur was about to explode in fear and rm. He smiled awkwardly, ¡°That rascal took it.¡±

    The multi-coloured cat was enraged and shouted, ¡°So it¡¯s Fish Ball and his gang?¡±

    The moment he said that, shouts of fury erupted from the cats all around.

    ¡°I knew there was something wrong with Fish Ball and his gang!¡±

    ¡°The police came right when we were supposed to break a deal.¡±

    ¡°I think Dust Ball and her gang wanted to double-cross us all along.¡±

    ¡°Since they snatched our money, they must pay double the price for it.¡±

    Matcha was shocked. ¡°How did Fish Ball, Dust Ball, and the rest get dragged into this? Are they the ones selling catmint?¡± At the thought of this, he awkwardly smiled and said, ¡°Maybe there¡¯s something more to it? Let us investigate the issue first.¡±

    A bald-headed cat whipped his head around and shouted in rage, ¡°Boss, you want to admit defeat? What about our money?¡±

    In that instant, all the supercats turned and stared at him. Matcha felt the murderous air around him as the paws of each supercat glowed ominously.

    Matcha paused for a moment before he pumped his paw up and said, ¡°Kill Fish Ball!¡±

    The supercats from Cao Gang responded in unison, ¡°Kill Fish Ball!¡±

    ¡°Kill Fish Ball!¡±

    ¡°Kill Fish Ball!¡±

    Outside the cardboard box, Zhao Yao, who had searched everywhere and interrogated cats until he found Matcha there stopped and listened to what the cats were saying. He nced at Matcha who wasmanding them at the top of his voice and scoffed before he opened the dimension portal.

    Roly Poly, who was squatting on Matcha¡¯s shoulder, covered his mouth as he giggled in glee.

    Zhao Yao stepped into the dimension portal and said to Dust Ball, ¡°Keep a close eye on this d*mn cat and record every single mistake he makes after this. Hmph, I will punish him for his wrongdoings after the seven days.¡±

    After settling the situation there, Zhao Yao returned to the Cat Ind to find ck Panther. ck Panther¡¯s powers were of great importance to him, as they would greatly help Zhao Yao defeat the King of Death.

    ...

    It was a busy night for Zhao Yao, Matcha, and the Cao Gang.

    Outside Zhao Yao¡¯s cat caf¨¦, two pairs of furry ears emerged behind the fence. Two feline girls around 14 to 15 years old with orange cat fur peered out. shes of green light reflected in their pupils as they stared at the cat caf¨¦ in front of them.

    ¡°Seems like they stay in the cat caf¨¦. They nevere out even after work.¡±

    ¡°Professor wants us to capture Zhao Xue¡¯s brother. He should be sleeping in the cat caf¨¦ now.¡±

    As Zhao Yao¡¯s 18-storey building was still under renovation, he basically lived in the Extradimensional Belly and the Cat Ind. Hence when he returned after work, he would just pass through the dimension portal in the cat caf¨¦.

    The feline girls who had observed the cat caf¨¦ for a long time naturally suspected that he slept in the cat caf¨¦ everyday.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go and catch him now, the Professor is pressuring us already.¡±

    As she said that, the two feline girls sped towards the cat caf¨¦, leaving a trail of white smoke behind them.

    ¡°What are the two of you here for?¡±

    Just as they were about to sneak into the cat caf¨¦, their ears heard a voicee from behind them. They turned into puffs of white smoke that trembled slightly with fear.

    Bai Quan stared at the two puffs of white smoke in front of him and asked curiously, ¡°Both of you are apostles?¡±

    ¡°Now!¡±

    When they saw Bai Quan appear, the two feline girls nced at each other before activating psychokinesis simultaneously. Invisible forces wrapped around Bai Quan¡¯s body, immobilizing his physical self.

    When they saw Bai Quan immobilized, the two feline girls let out their breaths as one of them shouted, ¡°Who are you? Why are you here?¡±

    Bai Quan blinked and said, ¡°I am feeding the cats supper. Anyway, I should be the one asking that question. Both of you have been squatting there the whole day and being so noisy.¡±

    The feline girls stared at Bai Quan in confusion. They did not understand what he had just said.

    Bai Quan shrugged his shoulders in exasperation, ¡°Forget it. We can have a good talk after I catch the both of you.¡± As he said that, he had reached out to grab the white puffs of smoke with the sh of a hand. Surprised, he eximed, ¡°Oh? Your bodies are really white puffs of smoke?¡±

    ¡°Ah! How are you still able to move!¡± The feline girls shrieked as they intensified their psychokinesis powers. Bai Quan¡¯s clothes tightened as they began to tear apart, while the cement beneath his feet cracked inch by inch.

    ¡°Bet you can¡¯t move now!¡±

    Just as the feline girls thought that, Bai Quan rushed towards them and tried to grab the white puffs of smoke, but to no avail. This was a shock to him, as he thought, ¡°There¡¯s such a power?¡±

    Compared to Bai Quan, the feline girls were even more shocked, or to be more exact, terrified, ¡°How can this be? Psychokinesis doesn¡¯t work on him?¡±

    They unleashed their psychokinesis powers as much as they could to restrain Bai Quan. However, as if a Godzi was hidden beneath his average-looking body, no matter how hard the feline girls tried, they could not immobilize even an inch of his body.

    ¡°How can this be? Our psychokinesis power can distort even the strongest steel columns, but this guy appears totally unaffected!¡±

    The two feline girls stared at Bai Quan in disbelief, ¡°Aim at his neck and cast our powers to make him faint!¡±

    The intense wave of psychokinesis power rushed towards Bai Quan¡¯s neck. The inch of air near his neck seemed to be distorted at that moment, resulting in ¡°ka-cha¡±, ¡°ka-cha¡± sounds emanating from the intensified air resistance.

    As the feline girls exerted their powers, the white puffs of smoke bubbled vigorously and started to destabilize.

    Seeing the skin on Bai Quan¡¯s neck vibrating vigorously, the feline girls thought, ¡°Has it worked?¡±

    Despite exerting their full power, they only managed to make the skin on Bai Quan¡¯s neck vibrate. Bai Quan was totally nonchnt about the psychokinesis power surrounding his neck as he cracked it and said, ¡°Eh? My neck feels better now after some massaging.¡±

    When the two feline girls saw that Bai Quan was not hurt by their full-scaled attacks, they were really shocked.

    However, before they could react, Bai Quan appeared in front of them with the wind whooshing behind him.

    ¡°What about this...¡±

    Before his sentence ended, Bai Quan waved his palm and instantly violent air currents gathered and the distorted air exploded in front of Bai Quan. The air currents charged towards the fog.

    After a loud explosion, the fog dispersed into the air as it was hit by the strong air currents.

    Bai Quan looked at the empty building in front of him and questioned, ¡°Gone? Did they escape or ...¡±

    Several meters away, two blurry white fogs entered the sewers trembling. They did not dare make any noise until they were a few thousand meters away.

    ¡°Waaa! It was so scary! I thought I was going to die.¡±

    ¡°This is so scary. Let¡¯s return to the professor.¡±

    The two feline girls transformed into white fog again. They fled for a few more kilometers before turning back into feline girls and rushing towards the House of Cats.

    About half an hourter, the two feline girls darted into a vi in the suburbs.

    They went to the professor and meowed, ¡°Professor! It was so terrifying! We were going to capture Zhao Yao but a strange man stopped us.¡±

    ¡°The strange man was so scary! Our psychokinesis was useless against him.¡±

    The professor was listening to the two feline girl¡¯s report and frowned. ¡°Strange man? Your psychokinesis was ineffective? Is it a kind of special power?¡±

    Although he was surprised but he soon ced his focus somewhere else.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, there will always be a counterpower for powers. asionally meeting an apostle who is immune to psychokinesis is normal.¡± Professor Xu smiled excitedly and said,¡±You guys can forget about Zhao Yao for now. I have found traces of Fu Mi and her team. We need to capture them first.¡±

    As he spoke, Professor Xu brought the two feline girls to the basement.¡±Before that, you have to rece your powers. I just bought a supercat that is more powerful. When you guys turn into fog and use his powers, no one will be able to stop you.¡±

    ...

    In Xiaoyu¡¯s bedroom, Zhao Xue, Ah Yuan, and Yellow Bro sat at the side awkwardly.

    Xiaoyu was sitting opposite the three feline girls. She sized them up and Fish Ball, who was on her head, was also observing them.

    ¡°Feline girls?¡± Xiaoyu said in disbelief. ¡°I don¡¯t believe you. Unless you transform in front of me.¡±

    Zhao Xue answered awkwardly. ¡°Auntie Xiaoyu, why would I lie to you...¡± Transforming in front of Xiaoyu made her feel ufortable.

    Ah Yuan stood and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. Let me do it.¡±

    Xiaoyu watched in shock as Ah Yuan transformed into a feline girl. Xiaoyu¡¯s mouth dropped open and her eyes almost fell out.

    Xiaoyu jumped up and walked rounds around Ah Yuan. She touched Ah Yuan¡¯s tail and blurted, ¡°This is actually real?¡±

    Ah Yuan blushed when her tail was touched. She avoided Xiaoyu¡¯s touch and protected her tail. ¡°Don¡¯t... don¡¯t touch it!!¡±

    ¡°Hey,¡± Xiaoyu looked at Ah Yuan enthusiastically. ¡°Do you still have the cat transformation medicine? Give some to me. I want to be a feline girl too.¡±

    Ah Yuan shook her head and said, ¡°We don¡¯t have that with us. Besides the cat transformation medicine may fail and you could die. Besides death you may even ...¡±

    As she spoke, she transformed into a cat and meowed, ¡°You could stay a cat forever.¡± Zhao Xue tranted for Ah Yuan who was in cat form.

    Xiaoyu was disappointed. ¡°I see.¡±

    When Fish Ball heard ¡®stay a cat forever¡¯, his eyes lit up. ¡°If Xiaoyu drinks the cat transformation medicine and stays a cat forever...¡±

    In his mind, he imagined the high school student turning into a small spotted cat.

    ...

    Fish Ball would p the small spotted cat on the head and threaten her, ¡°Xiaoyu, why didn¡¯t you bury my shit? From now on every shit I take in the house will have to be buried by you. Do you hear me?¡±

    The small spotted cat would ask, ¡°Why should I?¡±

    ¡°Why should you?¡± Fish Ballughs, ¡°Because this is a world where the powerful are respected and I am the strongest of them all.¡±

    ...

    As he imagined the scene, he couldn¡¯t help butugh and thought to himself, ¡°If only Xiaoyu could be a cat.¡±

    Meanwhile Zhao Xue exined, ¡°Auntie Xiaoyu, the thing is that the feline girls of the House of Cats have the power to turn into gas and use psychokinesis. We need your Spirit Cat powers to fight back.¡±

    Then, she introduced the feline girl¡¯s psychokinesis and physical abilities and the ability to borrow powers.

    ¡°I see.¡± Xiaoyu asked, ¡°Nekomata, are you willing to lend them your powers?¡±

    Spirit Cat appeared in mid air, flew around the feline girls, and said, ¡°Of course, there is no problem! Besides, I am also very interested in your existence.¡±

    Nekomata decided to follow the feline girls to their base. Under Xiaoyu¡¯s strong persuasion, she was also going to visit the base in spirit form.

    Fish Ball hugged Xiaoyu¡¯s elbow and begged, ¡°Xiaoyu bring me along too. I want to see the cat transformation medicine!¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Xiaoyu avoided Fish Ball. ¡°You are too weak. If I bring you along, I still have to protect you. It¡¯s so troublesome.¡±

    Xiaoyu and Nekomata followed Zhao Xue back to Fu Mi¡¯s base. After another round of introductions, Nekomata started lending her powers to the feline girls.

    Soon, there were blurred figures of feline girls flying through the walls and furniture.

    ¡°It¡¯s so amazing!¡±

    ¡°Hahahaha. Psychokinesis still can be used.¡±

    ¡°With this power, even if we can¡¯t fight the House of Cats, we don¡¯t have to worry about being caught,¡± they eximed.

    ...

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao brought ck Panther to Uncle Ho. He introduced ck Panther¡¯s powers and God of Death¡¯s situation to Uncle Ho.

    After hearing about ck Panther¡¯s powers, Uncle Ho¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Ohhh. There are such extraordinary powers?¡± While in his mind he thought to himself, ¡°I must not be friends with this guy. I have to cklist him after this.¡±

    Uncle Ho continued to listen to the rtionship between ck Panther and God of Death. When he heard about ck Panther¡¯s current situation, he asked ck Panther solemnly, ¡°Is Zhao Yao speaking the truth? You can identify God of Death¡¯s puppets?¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t confirm if they are God of Death¡¯s puppets or not.¡± ck Panther scratched his head. ¡°But I do see them.¡±

    After hearing ck Panther, Uncle Ho thought of something and looked at Zhao Yao. ¡°What do you want to do?¡±

    ¡°I am nning to locate all the God of Death¡¯s puppets.¡± Zhao Yao touched his chin and said, ¡°Although there are many of them, with help from the government, we should be able to do it, right?¡±

    Uncle Ho nodded. ¡°This is an important issue. I need to report to my superior about this.¡±

    Zhao Yao agreed and let him be. If he wanted to find all the God of Death¡¯s puppets, having ck Panther alone is not enough. He needed the government¡¯s support.

    Once he seeded, then, the country could step in and control all those puppets. By then, they would have the advantage. It didn¡¯t matter if they jailed, released or saved the puppets. In fact, if they could control all the God of Death¡¯s puppets, it means that God of Death would no longer be able to create more.

    Or they could keep the puppets under surveince and understand more about the God of Death¡¯s powers to find his weakness.

    Of course all these things were easy to say but they required a massive amount of work that Zhao Yao alone could neverplete. That¡¯s why he approached Uncle Ho.

    Although he agreed to let Uncle Ho report this to his superior, he had his own conditions. ¡°It is okay if you want to report it to your superior. However, I will not participate in the detailed nning. I have my own way in dealing with the God of Death.¡±

    Letting ck Panther assist the Government in looking for the God of Death¡¯s puppets was his back up n. Compared to handing this to others, he trusted himself more.

    ¡°And, before you guys make a decision, ck Panther will have to be with me. I have promised to protect him.¡±

    Uncle Ho nodded. ¡°I understand.¡±

    After talking to Uncle Ho, Zhao Yao left with ck Panther. They were going to meet ck Panther¡¯s supercat. Zhao Yao had to protect this important supercat too.

    ¡­

    After ck Panther and Uncle Ho made contact, God of Death who was in Huadu started hesitating.

    ¡°ording to my puppets in Jianghai, they reported that there is a high chance that ck Panther has already contacted the government through Zhao Yao.¡±

    ¡°Although there is no evidence, from the reactions and schedules of the personnel in charge, it is most likely true.¡±

    The three puppets in front of God of Death nced at each other. They were an elder, a teenage boy and a girl in her 20s. Among them, the teenager spoke, ¡°Will this have a serious impact on your powers?¡±

    All three of them were puppets with high intelligence, judgment, and social experience.

    Because they were his puppets, the God of Death was confident that he could control them and hence, he did not have absolute control on them. He let them maintain their own consciousness while working for him.

    When facing of Zhao Yao, the God of Death had activated many dangerous powers which he had never activated before. A few puppets were nothing.

    God of Death shook his head and said, ¡°It is uncertain. With ck Panther¡¯s help, I can¡¯t confirm if they can find my weakness. However, I will not take the risk.¡±

    The elder said, ¡°But Zhao Yao is protecting ck Panther. To kill ck Panther, we have to fight Zhao Yao. This is inconsistent with our ns.¡±

    The girl said, ¡°What about we find ck Panther¡¯s supercat? If we cut the source of his powers¡­¡±

    The teenager shook his head, ¡°Zhao Yao is not an idiot. They would definitely protect the cat.¡±

    The girl asked, ¡°Then what do we do now? It¡¯s too early to fight Zhao Yao. We are still unprepared. We are still in the middle of liberating more supercats to gain greaterbat power.¡±

    Before the two of them started arguing, the elder suddenly said, ¡°Actually, I think we may be able to fight Zhao Yao.¡±

    When saw everyone looking at him, he exined, ¡°Zhao Yao has two advantages. The first is his personal powers. We have never seen such strongbat powers in a small scale fight. The second is how he affects God of Death. Without these two advantages, he is no different from an ordinary human.¡±

    ¡°If we avoid these two points and use our intel andrge manpower to fight him¡­¡±

    ¡°For example, we make use of someone else. Zhao Yao does not have a strong intelligencework like us. If we use the God of Death¡¯s puppets to create a conflict or hire someone else to deal with Zhao Yao. Then, he will not realise that we are the ones behind this.¡±

    The teenager rejected the idea. ¡°Normal apostles are too weak. They are no threat to Zhao Yao.¡±

    The girlughed, ¡°If they are too weak then we can lend them powers.¡±

    The teenager frowned. ¡°Then we are exposing our powers.¡±

    The girlughed, ¡°The amount of supercats we have is more than what Zhao Yao has. If both of us expose our powers, Zhao Yao will be the one at a disadvantage. In fact, Zhao Yao does not even know that these are our powers. But, we can learn more about his powers.¡±

    The elder said, ¡°It make sense. I agree to this idea, but we have to be careful. We can¡¯t let Zhao Yao know that we are behind this.¡±

    The girl said, ¡°Zhao Yao has so many enemies. As long as the people who attack don¡¯t know our identity, there is no way Zhao Yao will know we did it.¡±

    From the start, God of Death was listening to the three puppets discuss. He then he opened his eyes suddenly and said, ¡°Okay. We will execute this idea. Find an apostle to kill Zhao Yao and ck Panther. Lend him Satan¡¯s powers.¡±

    The elder added, ¡°The first goal should be to kill ck Panther. After killing ck Panther we should then attack Zhao Yao. However, we can¡¯t tell the apostle that our target is ck Panther. It would be too obvious he is sent by us.¡±

    The teenager said, ¡°As long as we take Zhao Yao out of the equation, ck Panther is dead. We can send our fighter and lend them powers. Now, we shall see how much powers Zhao Yao has.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t be too pessimistic.¡± The girl smiled. ¡°Zhao Yao is just a man. Even apostles are humans and not gods. As long as he is not careful, he is dead.¡±

    The God of Death was highly efficient. For an organization with millions of people merged as one, his efficiency was far beyond any organization in this world.

    Soon, a killer named Terminator was contacted by his puppet and entered the country.

    With the aid of God of Death¡¯s intelligencework and apostles, Terminator was kidnapped five minutes after leaving the ne.

    When he woke up again, he was already in a small dark house in Jianghai. There were four other men who were also awakening beside him. Terminator looked around, there were two white men, one ck man and a guy with brown skin.

    In the dark room, the five of them looked at each other warily.

    At this moment, in the dark room, a screen lit up. A man who was wearing a mask appeared. He looked at the five of them and said, ¡°I hope you guys are well. If you haven¡¯t realized this yet, there is a new power in your body.¡±

    ¡°Oh wait, I forgot that you guys can¡¯t hear.¡±

    After speaking, subtitles appeared on the screen.

    The five of their faces changed immediately. They started howling and making all kind of noises.

    At this moment all of them have realized that they couldn¡¯t hear.

    Terminator looked at God of Death who was in the screen and yelled, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter who you are. I want you to remember that I will find you and I will kill you. Then, I will let my dog feed on your body.¡±

    The other four also let out different howls and threats.

    Upon facing death threats from the five of them, God of Deathughed and said in the subtitles. ¡°Will everyone calm, down, I will exin your current circumstances. Then, you will realize that things aren¡¯t as bad as they seem.¡±

    ¡°Terminator, ex-member of the XXX special forces, participated in the XXXX war. He once killed seven armed men by himself. After bing an apostle, he left the special force and used his powers to kill the CEO of XXXpany.¡±

    Terminator¡¯s eyes narrowed menacingly.

    ¡°ck Mamba, ex-member of the Delta force, participated in the XXXX revolution and the assassination of OOOO. After bing an apostle, he became a mercenary. He used his powers and single-handedly killed more than 200 armed men in North Africa.

    When he saw the subtitles, the ck manughed coldly and shed his teeth.

    ¡°Sharky and King Kong, both were ex-members of the Alpha team, participated in more than 50 counter-terrorism operations. They became apostles in the XXX fight. Both of them defeated a whole armored force and used that chance to fake their own deaths. After which both became well-known mercenaries.¡±

    The two white men looked at each other and a strong intention to kill shed through their eyes. They knew too much and to avoid being killed by the country, they had had to fake their own deaths. Who knew that the past they tried to cover up could be uncovered by someone so easily.

    Then the God of Death looked at the guy with brown skin tone and said, ¡°And Jaguar, ex-member of the Mexican XXX organization. After awakening, he killed the entire organization and escaped to North Africa to be a mercenary¡±

    Looking at their shocked faces, God of Deathughed. ¡°There is nothing to be surprised about. The strength of my Intelligence Network is beyond your imagination. For others, your identities may be a secret but for the more powerful countries, your identities are nothing.

    ¡°Now, let¡¯s talk about the main focus. The five of you are the best killers and ex-special force members. You guys are the most dangerous people in the world. I have gathered all of you here to help me with something you are the best at. To kill someone.¡±

    Compared to peaceful apostles like Zhao Yao, there were many people like the five of them who liked to use their powers for violence to benefit themselves.

    The screen showed Zhao Yao¡¯s picture...

    ¡°This guy is called Zhao Yao. He is your target. He has many powers, some of which include teleportation, illusion, and psychokinesis.¡±

    ¡°Especially his illusion powers. His illusion powers have a wide range and have excellent effects. It can kill people who can¡¯t resist the illusions immediately. However, ording to our research, his illusions are transmitted through sound waves. To defend yourselves against this power, I have conducted a simple surgery on you to ensure that you can no longer hear anything. This way, you will not be affected by the illusions.¡±

    Thest battle with Midnight, Old K, Lang Gou, and Zhao Yao, had allowed him to gather a lot of Intel. It was collected by God of Death through the humanoids.

    Like the fact that the illusion is transmitted through sound, it was received by the humanoid¡¯s audio receiver and analyzed by God of Death afterwards.

    Therefore, this time, God of Death specifically destroyed their hearing to prevent them from falling for the illusions.

    But the God of Death did not provide other information like the fact that Zhao Yao can revive himself, his Murasama de or the Golden sword aura. This was because if they knew and were captured by Zhao Yao, after interrogation, they would give away God of Death immediately.

    So except for powers like illusion, the God of Death did not give any clear information to prevent Zhao Yao from discovering that he was behind this.

    After he spoke, the five of them in the dark room started shouting at him.

    Terminator raged, ¡°Nonsense. Apostles can only borrow one power. This is the rule. How can someone master so many powers at the same time?¡±

    The ck manughed coldly and said, ¡°I am not going to work for you, masked freak. Wait for my revenge. I will kill your entire family, including your son, your daughter, your wife, and your parents.¡±

    The other white man named Sharky turned and wanted to leave the ce immediately. He started to look for an exit.

    The God of Death did not reply to them but continued.

    ¡°If you can kill him for me, I will pay each of you 10 million USD, fix your hearing and give you your antidote.¡±

    When the subtitles reached the end, all five of their faces changed.

    The God of Death said, ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can take a look at your inner right arm.¡±

    The five of them looked at their inner arms and saw a ck line extending out from their palm.

    ¡°As the toxins in your body spread, the ck line will reach your heart in 12 hours and by then, you will be dead.¡±

    After reading the subtitles, Jaguarughed coldly. ¡°Who of us will believe you? There is no such toxin in the world. Do you think we are children? I think we should escape from here, find you and kill you...¡±

    The God of Deathughed and in the next moment, the ck line on Jaguar¡¯s wrist grew long and in everyone¡¯s terror, it reached his heart. Then everyone watched as Jaguar spit out mouths of ck blood and died.

    This toxin was developed from the toxin powers of Old K. Although Old K was captured, his supercat was still with God of Death.

    ¡°Think about it, 10 million USD, recovered hearing, and your life. All these are enough for you to calm down.¡±

    The five of them including Terminator calmed down. However, they gazed at the screen angrily and it was evident that all of them wanted to kill the person who kidnapped them.

    ¡°Then I shall continue to provide information. The target also has a buddy. The buddy seems to have the power of teleportation and the impressive part is that he can bring someone along with him during the teleportation. If you want to kill the target, you have to kill the buddy first.¡±

    As he spoke, ck Panther¡¯s photograph appeared on the screen. The God of Death did not list ck Panther as the first target as he did not want to expose himself.

    At least, before he was prepared, he did not want to fight Zhao Yao.

    After introducing both the ck Panther and Zhao Yao¡¯s powers, God of Death said, ¡°Now, I will introduce the power in you.¡±

    The next day, because it was the weekend, Xiaoyu left her house early and rushed with Nekomata to the feline girls¡¯ base.

    At this point in time, she was still very interested in the feline girls. She really wanted to go y with the feline girls every day.

    Not long after Xiaoyu left, a cat extended its head out from the window and red at her coldly, ¡°Humph, she¡¯s going to find the feline girls without me.¡±

    Fish Ball wanted to jump out of the window and tail Xiaoyu. However, a dog head stuck out his head beside him. ¡°What are you trying to do, Fish Ball?¡±

    Fish Ball jumped and looked at the husky who was staring at him and mumbled, ¡°Suck up.¡±

    ¡°What did you say?¡± Noodle started barking, ¡°Xiaoyu asked me to watch you and prevent you from getting into trouble. Before you try anything funny, you have to deal with me first.¡±

    Fish Ball smacked his lips and asked Noodle, ¡°Noodle, aren¡¯t you interested in the feline girls? Don¡¯t you think it is a good idea for Xiaoyu to turn into a feline girl?¡±

    ¡°Xiaoyu turning into a cat?¡± Noodle thought about it and shook his head vigorously. ¡°No no no no. A human turning into a cat is not a good idea.¡±

    Fish Ball thought about it and asked again. ¡°What if she turns into a dog? If the professor can invent the cat transformation medicine, then he probably can invent dog transformation medicine? Or invent something that can turn us into humans? Don¡¯t you want to go and see?¡±

    However, it was apparent that the difference between a cat and a dog was huge. The cat transformation medicine was already a miracle, the possibility of inventing dog transformation medicine was close to impossible, let alone sessfully transforming into a human.

    However, to outsiders like Fish Ball and Noodle, they were simr things.

    After Noodle heard what Fish Ball said, he could already imagine himself as a human.

    ...

    Xiaoyu kissed the husky gently on the mouth and after a blinding light, she saw that the husky had turned into Ho Hao Cang.

    Xiaoyu was overjoyed. ¡°Noodle you are so handsome when you turn into a human.¡± Then she blushed and said, ¡°Noodle, will you be my boyfriend?¡±

    ¡°No, Xiaoyu.¡± Ho Hao Cang shook his head and said, ¡°You are great, but I don¡¯t like you.¡± Then, he would leave Xiaoyu sorrowfully.

    At this point in time, Zhao Yao would jump out and shout, ¡°Noodle! Don¡¯t you dare bully my aunt!¡±

    Bang! After knocking down Zhao Yao, Ho Hao Cang shook his head. ¡°Trash.¡±

    ...

    As he imagined that scenario, his saliva started dripping onto the floor. He nodded his head and said, ¡°Turning human is a great idea. I want to turn into a human!¡±

    Fish Ball said, ¡°Then we should follow Xiaoyu and look for the professor who invented the cat transformation medicine.¡±

    The husky picked up Fish Ball and swung the cat onto his back. ¡°Sit tight.¡± The next moment, he opened the door and dashed out of it.

    Outside of Xiaoyu¡¯s house was a greenbelt. A stray cat saw the husky and Fish Ball run out of the building. It squinted its eyes and picked up the phone next to it.

    Meanwhile, in the base of the Cao Gang, about 10 supercats were gathered together eating meat and sucking catmint. A cat looked at its vibrating cell phone and shouted, ¡°Fish Ball is out!¡±

    ¡°He is finally out!¡±

    ¡°If he continued to hide in the human¡¯s house it would have been hard for us to find him, but he is out now!¡±

    ¡°Boss, let¡¯s capture him and demand our money back!¡±

    When Matcha saw that all the cats were looking at him, Matcha thought to himself. ¡°If we capture Fish Ball, would it expose the fact that they did not actually take our money?¡± As he thought about it he said, ¡°This is not a simple issue. Let¡¯s discuss a n..¡±

    ¡°Boss!¡± the floret cat yelled, ¡°You want to let him go? He took our hard earned money!¡±

    When Matcha saw all the cat¡¯s eyes narrow their eyes and start shaking their tails and lowering their bodies like they were ready to fight, he was slightly shocked. He immediately raised his paws and shouted, ¡°Kill Fish Ball!¡±

    All the cats raised their paws and shouted together, ¡°Kill Fish Ball!¡±

    Matcha raised his paw again. ¡°Kill Dust Ball!¡±

    All the cats followed suit. ¡°Kill Dust Ball!¡±

    ¡°How in unison.¡± He looked at the agitated cats and shouted again. ¡°Kill Zhao Yao!¡±

    ¡°Kill Zhao Yao!¡±

    Suddenly the floret cat asked, ¡°Who is Zhao Yao?¡±

    Matcha brought all the cats to hunt Fish Ball down. They wanted to capture Fish Ball and ask for the whereabouts of their money

    On the other side of the Dimension Portal, Lightning was watching intently. His right paw dipped in the fish can and said while licking his paw. ¡°It¡¯sing! The climax ising! Do we interfere if they fight?¡±

    ¡°Why interfere?¡± Elizabeth replied excitedly, ¡°Let¡¯s just watch.¡±

    Roly Poly was typing on his phone. He seemed to be recording something. ¡°Kill Fish Ball, 392 times. Kill Dust Ball, 103 times. Kill Zhao Yao, 502 324 times.¡±

    Ares asked curiously, ¡°Roly Poly, what are you recording?¡±

    ¡°Matcha¡¯s conversation with the supercats.¡± Roly Poly frowned and said, ¡°This information is very valuable and should be shown to Zhao Yao.¡±

    In an office in the city, an official apostle picked up the phone and asked, ¡°What is it?¡±

    ¡°What? The Cao Gang has been found?¡±

    ¡°Very good. Follow them, we will arrive immediately.¡±

    The official apostle put down the phone andughed coldly, ¡°In this world, only death and taxes are inevitable.¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, Xiaoyu and Nekomata reached the feline girls¡¯ base. When they entered, they could feel the cold wind blowing and heard a soft humming in the air. The remote controls, cups, bottles, andputers were vibrating, in fact, the table moved by itself.

    If an ordinary human came, they would have thought that the house was haunted.

    But, Xiaoyu knew that it was the feline girls trying out their new powers.

    She soon saw Ah Yuan¡¯s head appear on one side of the wall and looked at Xiaoyu delighted. ¡°Xiaoyu! Nekomata¡¯s powers are fantastic.¡±

    As she spoke, Ah Yuan lifted her arm and the sofa floated.

    When Xiaoyu saw this she grew envious because what Ah Yuan was doing now, was something that the pure spirit superpower was unable to aplish.

    Nekomata¡¯s powers had a lot of abilities. The most obvious ones were using virtual body and psychokinesis to create a supernatural phenomenon. However, these two abilities were mutually exclusive, from a virtual body to being a spirit that can¡¯t be seen. The more virtual the body gets, the weaker the psychokinesis. If they were in spirit form, then the psychokinesis could hardly be used.

    However, the feline girls had Psychokinesis originally and it was not in conflict with the spirit superpower. It allowed them to use their psychokinesis powers when they are in virtual form.

    The feline girls were going around their room and moving the furniture around their rooms with psychokinesis.

    After their practice, the feline girls deactivated their powers and joined Xiaoyu. They were eating dinner and nning on what to do next.

    Fu Mi was very satisfied. ¡°This is great. With the spirit superpower and our psychokinesis, we will definitely win the House of Cats.¡±

    Shui Yao twitched her cat ears and said enthusiastically, ¡°When are we going to set off?¡±

    ¡°Let me think.¡± Fu Mi scratched her head. ¡°There are fewer people at night so it¡¯ll bring about less damage. Let¡¯s go tonight.¡±

    Sphynx cat looked at the feline girls who were discussing their attack n and frowned. ¡°Thisbination is cheating. If I want to win against them, I have to attack them before they turn into spirit form or I won¡¯t stand a chance. The key to fighting them is to initiate the fight.¡±

    While the feline girls were nning how to attack the House of Cats, in a building not far from them, 12 feline girls observed where Fu Mi, Zhao Xue, and the others were.

    One of them twitched her ears and said to the phone. ¡°Professor Xu, we have confirmed their location.¡±

    ¡°No.1 you will report to me and you are in charge of this attack. The rest, prepare to attack. ¡°A voice came from the phone and ordered, ¡°Capture them and bring them back.¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡±

    The next moment, No.1 who had just answered the call,unched the power that Professor Xu had just bought. She pressed down on a feline girl and said, ¡°Invisible!¡±

    In that instant, that feline girl vanished into thin air. However, if closely looked at, one could see a blurry human figure.

    This was the new power Professor Xu had bought. It was to turn the target invisible.

    Then, No.1 turned all the other 12 feline girls invisible. The only w was that the surface of their bodies refracted light unnaturally.

    However, when they turned in to gas, it was impossible to see with the naked eye. They were like a cool breeze blowing towards the base.

    When the feline girls from House of Cats were about to attack, opposite the school where Fu Mi was, a dog and a cat stuck their heads out.

    Fish Ball was solemn. ¡°Did you see that? Xiaoyu just went in.¡±

    Noodle nodded his head. ¡°Yes, she went in. What are we going to do now? We can¡¯t go in straight away, Xiaoyu will see us.¡±

    When they thought about the consequences of being discovered by Xiaoyu, both of them shivered.

    Fish Ball thought to himself. ¡°Damn it, she is just a high school student and yet she terrifies us. I have to turn her into a cat! I will let her know how powerful I am in the cat realm.

    Noodle: ¡°For the peace between cats and dogs, for the peace between humans and supercats, I have to turn into a human and do something. Although being a dog is not bad, there are too many restrictions.¡±

    Noodle thought about it and said, ¡°When Xiaoyues out, we can pretend like we don¡¯t know Xiaoyu, get to know the feline girls and wait for an opportunity.¡±

    While Fish Ball and Noodle were observing the feline girl¡¯s base, about one street away, another cat stretched its head out and sent a message. ¡°Boss, Fish Ball and that dog have stopped. I don¡¯t know what they are trying to do, but they don¡¯t look like they are up to any good.¡± He snapped a photo and sent it over.

    Over on Matcha¡¯s side, a dozen supercats was surrounded by a breeze. It made their jumping and running abilities increase drastically. They were jumping around on the building and rushed towards Matcha.

    It was apparent that among the supercats, there was a supercat who could control the wind.

    Matcha felt his phone vibrate and stopped. All the supercats around him stopped too and looked at Matcha¡¯s phone.

    The previous news from the cat spy was simpler and it did not mention the husky. When they saw the photo and its content, all the cats were infuriated.

    ¡°Jerk! This Fish Ball befriends dogs?¡±

    ¡°He is a cat traitor! I knew there was something wrong with him long ago.¡±

    ¡°Kill Fish Ball!¡±

    ¡°Kill Fish Ball!¡±

    Matcha thought to himself. ¡°Noodle? Why are both of them out?¡± When he thought about it, he smirked and said, ¡°Whatever, we can take care of the dog together.¡±

    Then, Matcha lead the supercats and ran towards the position of Fish Ball and Noodle.

    Not far from them, three ck cars zoomed past. There were official apostles all armed with anesthesia guns, electric batons, and bulletproof vests.

    ¡°Where are they?¡±

    ¡°About 500 meters away from us.¡±

    ¡°Follow them closely.¡±

    ...

    Terminator, King Kong, Sharky, and ck Mamba sat down calmly in a drinks stall not far from Zhao Yao¡¯s caf¨¦. The violence in their eyes gave away what they were feeling inside.

    ¡°That bastard. When everything is over, I will tear him into pieces.¡± Terminator thought to himself and looked at the other three. ¡°That guy is so secretive, I am afraid that afterpleting the task, he will not let us live either. The only thing we can threaten him with is the target¡¯s life.¡±

    ¡°No matter how we carry this operation out, it is best if we reach amon consensus.¡±

    Terminator¡¯s eyes narrowed. ¡°However, should Imunicate with the other guys? Can I trust them?¡±

    As he was thinking about it, the Russian guy named Sharky sat up straight and wrote on the table with water. ¡°When we aplish the mission we will be killed.¡±

    After seeing what he wrote, all the other three sat up straight and blocked what Sharky had written in every angle.

    Upon seeing this, Sharky¡¯s eyes lit up and continued, ¡°With our current powers wepletely have the power to capture the target and use him to negotiate with the guy behind this. It is our only chance.¡±

    Sharky looked up and watched their reactions. When he saw that Terminator, ck Mamba, and King Kong nod their heads, he smiled.

    At that moment, the phone given by the God of Death rang. It was a message.

    ¡°The target has appeared.¡±

    After receiving the information, the Terminator¡¯s team of four looked in the direction of the caf¨¦ and thought, ¡°Are theying?¡±

    At the same time, inside the caf¨¦, Zhao Yao had just exited the Dimension Portal. He walked down the stairs then settled down at his favorite ce.

    In the building opposite the caf¨¦, the puppet of the King of Death was spying on Zhao Yao with binocrs, however, he did not discover any trace of ck Panther.

    ¡°Where did he hide ck Panther?¡±

    The target of the Terminator team was Zhao Yao. However, the King of Death was very sure, the person he wanted rid of was ck Panther.

    Before the appearance of ck Panther, the King of Death would not allow the Terminator team to take any action.

    However, ck Panther had not made his appearance and time was running out as the lives of the Terminator team were being held hostage by the toxin.

    The King of Death tilted his head and brooded, ¡°Worsees to worst, I shall sacrifice the four of them. Even if they die, not many people will investigate.¡±

    The King of Death did not expect that he would be unable to trace the whereabouts of ck Panther, even with his superior intelligence gathering.

    ...

    In the home base of Fu Mi, eleven transparent streams of energy transformed into gentle breezes and came in via the windows, gaps in the door and pipes.

    Zhao Xue, Xiaoyu, and Fu Mi did not detect the intrusion. They gathered around the dining table, taking their meal and chatting about their ns.

    Sphynx cat was sprawled on a chair by the dining table. He kept his body very still while he abruptly jerked his ear and looked intensely in the direction of the opened window.

    The intruding feline girl who was detected was frightened. ¡°This cat can see me.¡± She continued her original action¡ªtransforming into a gentle breeze and blowing into the room.

    Sphynx cat furrowed his brows. ¡°The wind? Am I too sensitive?¡± After dismissing his thoughts, he closed his eyes and the body vibrated mildly as he continued his training.

    Xiaoyu dered, ¡°Tonight, I want to watch the battle! All of you will be fighting and I will only watch from the sidelines.¡±

    Fu Mi frowned and said, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to ss tomorrow? It is not good for you to go out sote.¡±

    ¡°This is not the time for sses. We are fighting against the evil organization and saving the world. There is no time for sses.¡± Xiaoyu turned her head and noticed Yellow Bro staring with her big eyes at the pudding in her bowl.

    Xiaoyu immediately covered her pudding and said, ¡°That is mine!¡±

    Zhao Xue caressed Yellow Bro¡¯s head and said, ¡°Yellow Bro since you like pudding, have mine since I do not like sweet stuff.¡± Yellow Bro immediately swallowed the pudding from Zhao Xue in one gulp and looked intensely satisfied.

    Ah Yuan was concerned and said, ¡°Don¡¯t let her eat too much. She has been putting on weight recently.¡±

    As Zhao Xue was about to reply, she abruptly creased her brows. ¡°Do all of you feel that the wind is suddenly stronger?¡±

    Sphynx cat suddenly opened his eyes and meowed, ¡°Something is wrong!¡± At this moment, as his body was not covered in fur, he was able to sense with rity that winds from all directions were blowing on his body. This was not logical.

    Since he did not know what methods of attack were used, Sphynx cat could only dodge and hide.

    A loud explosion ensued. The chair underneath Sphynx cat crashed with a loud boom. Fortunately, he had already knocked through the walls with Zhao Xue and flew out of the schoolpound. He only brought along Zhao Xue because her constitution had significantly improved by his training superpower and she could withstand the eleration from his high-speed movements.

    If it were other feline girls, the wall knocking would have killed them instead of saving them.

    At the instant when Sphynx cat retreated, the eleven feline girls from the House of Cats activated their psychokinesis which wore down on bodies of Fu Mi, Yellow Bro, Ah Yuan, Ah Zhe, Shui Yao, and Xiaoyu.

    Yellow Bro, Ah Zhe, Shui Yao, and Ah Yuan passed out before they could react.

    Only Fu Mi, who had superior strength and rich battle experience and Xiaoyu, who trusted Sphynx cat¡¯s instinct, activated the Spirit superpower and evaded the attack.

    As for the Spirit Cat, its normal ethereal form was immune to the attack.

    Fu Mi looked at her four unconsciouspanions and shouted furiously, ¡°Who is that?¡±

    Sphynx cat narrowed his eyes and surveyed the four fallen ones in the house, thinking, ¡°They executed a preemptive strike.¡± After seeing Zhao Xue rush forward, he tried to restrain her by grabbing with his paw. As she was in ethereal form, she passed through his body and disappeared into the air.

    Sphynx cat reminded her, ¡°Zhao Xue, do not act rashly. Figure out the enemy¡¯s abilities first.¡± After giving advice, Sphynx cat had no intention of falling headlong into battle. Instead, he scurried away and went into hiding, just like a crouching tiger in the mountains, secretly waiting for an opportunity.

    Because he knew that the attackers were most likely the feline girls from the House of Cats. As they had psychokinesis, if they executed a preemptive strike and he got lifted up, he would be in serious trouble.

    Hence hiding and waiting for an opportunity to execute a death shot was more effective than rushing headlong into battle.

    The ethereal form of Zhao Xue did not have these concerns. She directly rushed into the room and extended her grasping hand to activate psychokinesis, intending to snatch back her unconscious friends.

    Although the Psychokinesis was activated, she felt an overbearing force controlling Ah Yuan and the rest. Zhao Xue¡¯s lone power was unable to move their bodies at all.

    Fu Mi, who was also in ethereal form, shouted, ¡°Someone is using psychokinesis! Have to find them first!¡± Fu Mi was unable to see the ethereal form of Zhao Xue, hence the shout was a privatemunication via their shared consciousness.

    The eleven feline girls of the House of Cats shouted together, ¡°They are nearby, find them!¡±

    Fu Mi shouted in shock, ¡°Who is here?¡±

    ¡°Where are you?¡±

    ¡°Do not break my vase!¡±

    With the vase dropping onto the floor, several psychokic forces instantly pounded onto its location.

    Fu Mi and Zhao Xue were unable to see the eleven feline girls of the House of Cats and vice versa. Hence, they relied on their subconsciousness and attacked any sudden movements.

    This caused a chain reaction and the whole room was filled with psychokinesis. Violent forces swept all over the ce, wrecking the entire house. Table and chairs, electric appliances, and ornaments were crushed into pieces. Even the walls were filled with holes, as though they were ripped by wild beasts.

    The unconscious feline girls were protected subconsciously by both parties, however, the entire room was a war zone.

    Momentster, both sides paused and surveyed the room, which was in utter ruin. They were also observing if their opponents had been killed by the psychokinesis storm.

    ¡°What actually happened?¡±

    ¡°Who hit me?¡±

    ¡°Who am I hitting?¡±

    ¡°Where am I?¡±

    ¡°Where is the enemy?¡±

    During the battle of the schoolpound, Fu Mi, Zhao Xue, and the House of Cats¡¯ eleven feline girls were all fighting in the dark. Nobody had any idea what was happening.

    At this moment, everyone stopped to ascertain if their enemies had been defeated.

    The next instant, Ah Yuan was dragged along the ground by the psychokinesis of Zhao Xue. Her action was countered by the eleven feline girls from the House of Cats and they activated their Psychokinesis to grab Ah Yuan.

    ¡°D*mn, they are still here.¡± Zhao Xue frowned.

    One of the feline girls from the House of Cats yelled, ¡°Fu Mi, you can¡¯t escape,e out.¡±

    Fu Mi retorted, ¡°Even if Ie out, you won¡¯t be able to capture me. Release Ah Yuan and the rest.¡±

    ¡°We will release them if youe out!¡±

    ¡°Release them first then I wille out!¡±

    The two of them bickered as though they were little kids. Maybe they were still kids... Zhao Xue rolled her eyes and thought, ¡°The feline girls from the House of Cats have borrowed simr Spirit superpower to ours, so they are untouchable state and yet able to activate psychokinesis.¡±

    ¡°This is getting tricky.¡±

    Zhao Xue would not be so worried if both sides were unable to hit each other. However, they had been caught by surprise. Ah Yuan, Yellow Bro, Ah Zhe, and Shui Yao were knocked unconscious on the floor and restrained by their opponent¡¯s psychokinesis.

    This meant that the enemy had hostages. Even if Zhao Xue and Fu Mi escaped, they would have captured four of theirpanions and the House of Cats would have won half the battle.

    Meanwhile, Fu Mi and the feline girl from the other side were bickering furiously.

    Fu Mi taunted, ¡°You fool, why did you help Professor Xu? He is a viin. He caused us to be like this!¡±

    The opposing feline girl retorted scornfully, ¡°What is so bad about us? We are stronger, prettier and more intelligent. We are far superior to humans!¡±

    Fu Mi hollered in anger, ¡°What about those who died?¡±

    ¡°Professor Xu is able to resurrect them.¡± The opposing feline girl continued, ¡°They are only brain dead and Professor Xu has been trying to resurrect them. As long as we have more resources,, more experiments and consolidate both our powers to gather more resources, Professor Xu will definitely be sessful. Professor Xu will make us even prettier with bigger busts, longer legs and slimmer faces...¡±

    Xiaoyu asked excitedly, ¡°Really?¡±

    Fu Mi reprimanded angrily, ¡°Xiaoyu! How can you believe them?¡±

    The opposing feline girl sneered and said, ¡°Why shouldn¡¯t we believe him? If we don¡¯t believe an inventor of the cat transformation medicine, who has a doctorate and is a talented genius, should we believe a brat like you, who has not even graduated from junior high school?¡±

    ¡°Ah! This is infuriating!!¡±

    Pandemonium erupted in the room once again. No matter how they fought, there were no casualties. All their valiant efforts were in vain.

    As both sides engaged in the meaningless battle, Fish Ball and Husky gathered at the wall surrounding the school.

    Fish Ball asked, ¡°Noodle, what are you searching for?¡±

    Noodle walked along the base of the wall sniffing here and there. While searching, he said, ¡°Looking for a dog hole, we cannot wait like fools outside and be in the dark. We have to get closer, observe them at close proximity in order to collect intelligence.¡±

    Fish Ball said, ¡°Huh? I don¡¯t see the need.¡± He looked at his body and said, ¡°I am such an adorable kitten, normal kids will go crazy if they see me. Wait until Xiaoyu leaves, we shall enter directly.¡±

    Noodle frowned with disdain. Abruptly, his ears perked up and his eyes brightened. ¡°Found it, over here.¡± He dug out a dog hole from the bushes and squirmed headfirst into it.

    Fish Ball looked at the struggling buttocks of Husky, licked his paws and said, ¡°Are you alright? Quickly go inside.¡±

    ¡°There is a small problem.¡± Noodle pushed with all his might and his face became solemn. ¡°I think I am stuck.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Fish Ball was unhappy. He stepped on Noodle¡¯s backside and said, ¡°Get off, let me go in.¡±

    ¡°No...¡± Noodle said nervously, ¡°I think I can neither go in nore out.¡±

    ¡°Stupid dog.¡± Fish Ball kicked Noodles¡¯ backside viciously a few more times before saying, ¡°Told you not to eat so much. Now you are so obese that you can¡¯t get into a dog hole.¡±

    ¡°Wait.¡± Noodle said, ¡°I haven¡¯t pooped today. After pooping, I will be able to fit inside.¡±

    Fish Ball rolled his eyes and said, ¡°Hurry up.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t say a word.¡± Noodle said, ¡°This requires utmost concentration. I cannot be distracted.¡±

    As they were conversing, tens of cats¡¯ heads popped out from the rooftop of the opposite building. Their leader, Matcha, looked at Noodle and Fish Ball, who were at the corner of the wall, and yelled, ¡°They are here. Everyone, follow me! Catch that Fish Ball and get back our money!¡±

    Meow! The group of supercats replied in unison. They leaped down from the building with the aid of the breeze and rushed towards Fish Ball and Noodle.

    Fish Ball and Noodle were puzzled. Noodle asked bewilderedly, ¡°What happened? Why are there so many cat meows?¡±

    Fish Ball turned back to look and he said in astonishment, ¡°It is Matcha. He brought along arge group of cats who are charging towards us.¡±

    ¡°Quickly chase them away.¡± Noodle said in anxiety, ¡°I feel like I am about to poop.¡±

    Fish Ball smiled and waved his paw at Matcha. ¡°Matcha, why are you here?¡±

    ¡°You dare to steal our Cao Gang¡¯s money!¡± Matcha roared, ¡°You are dead, Fish Ball!¡±

    The cats behind echoed in unison, ¡°You are dead, Fish Ball!¡±

    Fish Ball was dumbstruck. ¡°What the hell?¡± Seeing the gang approach with murderous intent, Fish Ball nervously kicked Noodle and hollered, ¡°Silly dog, go in quickly!¡±

    Noodle looked constipated expression as he said, ¡°Don¡¯t rush me... the more you rush, the harder it is.¡±

    As Matcha and his gang were about ten meters away and Fish Ball was in a state of panic, a booming explosion rang.

    The wall inside of which Noodle was stuck crumbled into million pieces and hurtled in all directions.

    This high wall behind the school was built during World War II. It was three meters tall and half-a-meter thick. It was exploded with such power that it shook the ground vigorously. The wall crumbled inyers. Even the ground underneath undted with the immense force, causing Noodle and Fish Ball to be scared stiff.

    Sphynx walked out after using his palm to demolish the wall. His ears quivered as he looked at Fish Ball and Noodle. ¡°Fish Ball? Good timing, I need your help.¡±

    The charging Matcha and the Cao Gang of supercats were dumbstruck by the demolition and they stopped in their tracks. Matcha had a deep understanding of Sphynx cat and his terrifying ability so he could not bully Fish Ball.

    Matcha pointed to an empty street and shouted to his right, ¡°Fish Ball! Where are you running to? Everyone, let¡¯s pursue him! Don¡¯t let that d* mn cat escape.¡± He bolted after shouting.

    The remaining cats hesitated for a while, then hollered before following Matcha.

    Upon seeing Matcha, Sphynx cat was overjoyed. He wiggled his leg and stirred up air pressure underneath. In an instant, he appeared in front of Matcha. The strong draught he created ruffled Matcha¡¯s fur and the booming sound surrounded him. A pit was created by Sphynx¡¯snding.

    Sphynx cat swept up Matcha in his mouth and said, ¡°Need your help. Follow me.¡±

    ¡°Wait a minute!¡± The floret cat hollered, ¡°Where do you intend to take our Cao Gang leader?¡±

    Sphynx cat gave them a scornful look and put one of his legs on the ground. After an explosion, the cement floor started cracking, forming a depression which finally became a crater.

    The floret cat swiveled around, pointed to the empty street and shouted at the top of his voice, ¡°Our gang leader is being kidnapped! Everyone, follow me to rescue him!¡± The group of supercats followed him and bolted off.

    Matcha looked at the fleeing Cao Gang and sighed, ¡°They have learnt fast, definitely more shameless than I am. They will have a bad ending in the future.¡± Rubbing his paws, Matcha smiled at Sphynx and asked, ¡°Brother, what can I do for you?¡±

    Although Matcha could make use of Time Freeze to escape, he understood clearly that if Sphynx cat really wanted to catch him, he would not be able to outrun him even if he sprinted for the entire duration of the Time Freeze. So he gave up resisting.

    Sphynx cat bolted towards the school with Matcha in his mouth. ¡°There are four unconscious kids on the floor. I want you to activate Time Freeze and drag them out.¡±

    The Sphynx cat had an urate analysis of the situation in the house. As the enemy hadunched a preemptive strike, there was no way his side could win this fight.

    The crux of the fight was the four hostages. Currently outnumbered and unable to rescue the hostages with psychokinesis, it was a matter of time before the enemy could threaten them using the hostages.

    Hence, it was of utmost importance to think of a way to rescue the four hostages. Only then could they have a choice to fight or flee.

    Sphynx cat abruptly stopped in his tracks and asked, ¡°Matcha, are you able to rescue the kids from this ce using Time Freeze?¡± Normally, Matcha was not able to push people, however, Sphynx cat recalled that Matcha had rapid speed during Time Freeze and that greatly enhanced his pushing capability and the effects on the material world.

    However, Sphynx was not sure of Matcha¡¯s upper limit which is why he posed the question.

    After hearing the question, Matcha pounded his chest and assured, ¡°Don¡¯t you worry, I train daily. What is so daunting about pushing a few kids?¡±

    Sphynx noticed Matcha¡¯s shaking potbelly and showed a face of distrust. He turned his head back and grabbed Fish Ball by his mouth.

    He brought the two cats to the back of the wall. pping the wall, he exined, ¡°Matcha,ter on, I will demolish this wall. Making use of this distraction, you will rush in using Time Freeze. Rescue the four unconscious kids on the floor and think of a way to wake them. Inform them to activate their Spirit superpower and prepare for battle.

    Fish Ball shouted, ¡°What about me?¡±

    ¡°Emit light with all your might.¡± Sphynx cat said, ¡°Matcha, bring along Fish Ball after you activate Time Freeze.¡±

    After nodding to Matcha, Sphynx cat exerted his strength and pped the wall forcefully, instantly creating arge hole in the wall.

    Momentarily, all the feline girls in the house were focused on the broken wall and in that instant, the entire world came to a stop.

    A level eight Time Freeze with a duration of 12 seconds was activated. Matcha had a multiplier effect of 8 times, meaning that he had 96 seconds in the Time Freeze.

    Matcha patted on the head of Sphynx cat arrogantly and said condescendingly, ¡°To think that you are so muscr and yet depend on me to rescue everyone?¡±

    He extended his white paw and slowly went over the debris of the wall. With a casual expression, Matcha strolled in, thinking, ¡°This Sphynx cat was so overbearing just now, should I just run away instead?¡±

    However, after considering the stalwart build of Sphynx cat, Matcha swallowed hard. ¡°Forget it, because of his sincere begging, I shall help him a little.¡±

    ¡°Yes, I forgot about Fish Ball.¡±

    Hence, Matcha turned back to grab Fish Ball and entered the room.

    He sized up the environment and noticed the four little girls lying on the floor not far away. Matcha thought, ¡°Are those the four?¡±

    Matcha immediately walked forward, bit their sleeves and dragged with all his might and straightening his tail. Even his nose turned red from the exertion.

    No matter how hard he tried, they would not budge.

    ¡°They are not budging...¡± Matcha stared nkly at the little girl before him. Suddenly his gaze shed with brilliance. ¡°If I am unable to move them, I may as well wake them up directly. I don¡¯t think the activation of the Spirit superpower is that difficult?¡±

    ¡°How shall I wake them up?¡± Matcha surveyed the surroundings. All objects were destroyed and none of them were usable.

    His eyes brightened abruptly and he stood up, aiming his lower part of the body at Ah Yuan¡¯s cheeks and saying, ¡°Let my holy water awaken you.¡±

    Shoo! It shot out without much energy and scattered directly on the body of Fish Ball, who was by his leg.

    Matcha immediately held back and thought, ¡°D*mn, I didn¡¯t sleep wellst night.¡±

    He aimed urately, breathed deeply for a few times to umte his energy and shoo! His stream shot up in mid-air and scattered all over the ce.

    Matcha immediately held back once again. ¡°The problem with my strong constitution is that it is hard to control. Seems like I can only shoot at close range.¡±

    Hence, he hurriedly sat on Ah Yuan¡¯s face and aimed at her cheeks. Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! After that, he proceeded to the other three feline girls. Once it was done, he aimed at the sky and relieved himself for a while before feeling a sense of relief.

    ¡°Haha! This time, my volume is greater than Zhao Yao¡¯s, seems like my kidney is the world¡¯s number one.¡±

    Sensing that time was running out, Matcha bolted off.

    Just as he left the room, the time resumed. There was a terrible stench in the air and a series of exmations ensued.

    ¡°What is that?¡±

    ¡°It stinks!¡±

    ¡°Get out of the way! Who urinated?¡±

    Sensing the urine particles in the air, everyone thought that a feline girl who had activated Spirit superpower had urinated in the air. They subconsciously got out of the way and quickly fled from the urine-filled environment.

    Xiaoyu¡¯s body drifted through the urine-filled air, her eyes observing the urine particles passing through her ethereal body. She opened her mouth and screamed at the top of her voice.

    Fish Ball followed Sphynx cat¡¯s instructions and emitted bright rays, instantly blinding everyone.

    Although Sphynx cat did not know if the enemy was using their eyesight to sense their surroundings, losing Fish Ball was no big deal, he might as well have taken the risk.

    Fish Ball was emitting light and feeling indignant at the terrible stench on his body. ¡°Matcha! If I do not take revenge, my name is not Fish Ball!¡±

    Ah Yuan and the rest werepletely drenched. After waking up, while everyone was blinded by Fish Ball¡¯s light, they transformed into their ethereal forms.

    ¡°This Matcha is indeed unreliable. However, right now two wrongs make a right.¡±

    After observing the situation, Sphynx cat withdrew from the edge of the battle and did a detailed analysis. ¡°The battle experience of the feline girls was too superficial. They were in the ethereal form and yet afraid of being drenched in urine. If it were me, I would ignore the urine and activate psychokinesis. Ah Yuan and the rest would not have a chance to transform.¡±

    Meanwhile, Matcha had just run off from the copsed wall and saw the supercats of Cao Gang scurrying towards him. Matcha was overjoyed and asked, ¡°Are youing to rescue me?¡±

    The floret cat screamed, ¡°No gang leader! A lot of cops have arrived!¡±

    Numerous police cars blocked the street entrance. More than ten government apostles alighted from three ck vans and gazed at the fleeing Matcha and floret cats.

    ¡°So many cops!¡± Matcha subconsciously wanted to activate Time Freeze, however, his urination just now had used up the duration of Time Freeze and it had entered a cooling period. Hence, he followed the group of supercats, who changed direction and hid behind a wall.

    When the group of cats turned their heads, they saw flora, stones, cement, tables, and chairs flying around in mid-air with these items asionally smashed into pieces.

    Fish Ball had finished emitting light and was sprawled on the floor, dodging the flying objects above his head. He crawled slowly in the direction of the exit and ground his teeth, saying, ¡°Matcha, if I catch you, I will feed you my feces.¡±

    The air echoed with the frantic voices of the feline girls.

    ¡°Scoundrels of the House of Cats, quickly get lost!¡±

    ¡°It is of no use, your psychokinesis is no match for ours. Witness how we are demolishing your house.¡±

    A loud explosion ensued. A fewrge beds flew out of the window from the bedroom and smashed on the ground.

    Fu Mi and the rest immediately countered with their psychokinesis. Under the stress of more than ten streams of psychokinesis, therge bedsted for a few seconds before it was shredded into five to six pieces with a bang.

    Matcha was gaping as he watched the scene. ¡°S*it, this ce is more dangerous than I thought.¡±

    As he turned his head, more than ten government apostles activated Speed Increase and appeared next to Matcha. They restrained Matcha¡¯s head and stated, ¡°Mao Mao of the Cao Gang, you are under arrest.¡±

    Matcha immediately retorted, ¡°I am not Cao Gang¡¯s leader, I am an impersonator. You have arrested the wrong cat.¡±

    The government apostles did not understand catnguage and shouted, ¡°Stop yelling, talk when you are at the station.¡±

    Upon hearing Matcha, the arrested cats of the Cao Gang red intensely at Matcha.

    Matcha red back and yelled, ¡°What is there to see, haven¡¯t you seen a Jianghai Scottish Fold before?¡±

    ¡°Enough, stop yelling!¡±

    The government apostle tied up Matcha using a rope. At this time, another government apostle restrained Noodle and asked, ¡°Officer, what shall we do with this dog?¡±

    Everyone turned their head to take a look, the husky was spitting out his tongue and smiling at them in a silly way.

    ¡°Why do you capture a dog? Release it.¡±

    Husky wagged his tail and fled.

    In the next instant, everyone was intrigued by the battle of the feline girls and lifted their heads to watch.

    ¡°What is happening? Are apostles with psychokinesis fighting?¡± The government apostlemanded, ¡°Whoever you are, stop immediately...¡±

    ¡°Get lost!¡± The yelling government apostle was lifted by the psychokinesis, smashed into the wall and knocked unconscious.

    Fu Mi hollered, ¡°Run! All of you are unable to defeat them!¡±

    The government apostles did not yield. Half of them took custody of Matcha and the Cao Gang while the other half rushed forward. They activated their Speed Increase superpower and shed around the battlefield, looking for the traces of other apostles.

    It was not long before they discovered that they were unable to find their enemies.

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°Nobody.¡±

    ¡°Invisibility? Use infrared imaging.¡±

    Unfortunately, infrared imaging, sonar detection, and electronic imaging were unable to detect any enemies. Instead, they sumbed to the forces of psychokinesis and were knocked unconscious.

    Without a visible target and being targeted by invisible attacks, the government apostles were in a disadvantaged position.

    Matcha waited patiently for the 12 seconds of cooling down period and casually watched the fighting.

    The cats of the Cao Gang, who were being tied up, red intensely at Matcha. Baring their teeth, they threatened, ¡°D*mn cat, how dare you lie to us?¡±

    ¡°Hehe.¡± Matcha recalled their pitiful state when they were being restrained and tied up. Heughed mockingly as he taunted, ¡°Not only did I lie to you, but I also spent all your money. Are you very angry?¡±

    After the taunting, the eyes of the Cao Gang turned bloody red. All of them red at Matcha so intensely that his heart beat frantically.

    ¡°Hehehehe, I love the way you looked when you hit the roof and were helpless.¡± Matcha said, ¡°Wait till you are released from prison, I shall make a move first.¡± He activated Time Freeze.

    In the frozen time frame, Matcha wanted to escape, however, he was bound by ropes and was unable to move an inch.

    ¡°This is horrible!¡±

    He shook his body, with great determination. He fell onto the ground with a loud bam and rolled onto the streets. As he rolled faster and faster, he traveled far beyond the battlefield.

    ¡°Hahahaha! Nobody can catch me Matcha... Ouch...¡±

    ...

    Behind the Dimension Portal, Dust Ballmented, ¡°Matcha is missing again!¡±

    Lightning shouted, ¡°Find him quickly.¡±

    Caesar watched the battlefield from the Dimension Portal and asked, ¡°The fight is getting interesting, do we intervene?¡±

    ¡°None of our business.¡± Elizabeth yelled, ¡°Chase after Matcha. I want to witness that despicable cat being beaten.¡± She activated her power of illusion and controlled the government apostles to release the supercats of the Cao Gang.

    The cats of the Cao Gang did not know what happened and seized the opportunity to flee.

    ¡°Capture that d*mn orange cat!¡±

    ¡°Kill that orange cat!¡±

    ¡°Kill that orange cat!¡±

    Ares looked at the shing and disappearing Sphynx cat from the portal and urged, ¡°Look for Matcha, Matcha¡¯s situation is more exciting. There is nothing to watch in this invisible fighting.¡±

    With the urging of the cat assembly, Dust Ball controlled the Dimension Portal to search for Matcha.

    ...

    ¡°Trash!¡± A feline girl activated her psychokinesis. A government apostle was lifted up and tossed out as she yelled, ¡°Do not hinder us!¡±

    Fu Mi immediately countered with her psychokinesis and put him down gently. She became anxious and thought, ¡°This cannot go on. Besides us, the normal apostles are not able to fight against the feline girls as their triple superpowers were too overwhelming.¡±

    Ah Yuan hollered, ¡°Normal apostles quickly retreat. This is not your fight.¡±

    The government apostles realized their folly. Those who were able to flee, fled. Those who were unable to escape retreated to a safe distance surrounding the school and called for help.

    Fu Mi and Ah Yuan understood that if not for their intervention, no matter how many apostles were here, they were unable to defeat the feline girls nor prevent them from leaving.

    In a bush nearby, Sphynx cat shook his head as he surveyed the situation. ¡°What kind of a messy fight is this?¡±

    He whipped out his cell phone using his mouth and messaged Zhao Yao using WeChat.

    ¡°It is time to call Zhao Yao. This is a situation only he can settle.¡±

    Sphynx cat messaged, ¡°Zhao Yao, the feline girls are fighting and the situation is out of control. Come quickly.¡±

    In the cat caf¨¦, Zhao Yao was sitting on a chair yingputer games. He looked down and his phone was vibrating. He picked it up and asked, ¡°Yes? A bad situation?¡±

    ¡°It is a bit far.¡± Zhao Yao recalled the address and frowned as he thought, ¡°The Flying Cloak requires a Spicy Cat strip since it is not so urgent, I can use that...¡±

    If Zhao Yao knew that Matcha and the Dimension Portal were very near to the battlefield, he would definitely have used the portal.

    He had another method which was equally fast.

    One minuteter, after receiving a message, ck Panther, who was on Cat Ind, arrived at the cat caf¨¦ via the Extradimensional Belly. Standing in front of Zhao Yao, he asked, ¡°Headless mentor, is there anything wrong?¡±

    Half a minuteter, ck Panther carried Zhao Yao on his back with a worried face. Zhao Yao patted his head and said, ¡°ck Panther, let¡¯s go.¡±

    ¡°ck Panther, let¡¯s go!¡±

    After listening to Zhao Yao, ck Panther sighed and said, ¡°ck Panther¡¯s negative emotions +999...¡±

    ¡°ck Panther, are you happy now?¡± Zhao Yao pped ck Panther¡¯s head and yelled, ¡°Activate now.¡±

    ck Panther activated his superpower with a gloomy face.

    Instantly, numerous bright spots appeared in ck Panther¡¯s vision. He could feel that everyone was his brother and was close to him.

    Within the defined boundary, he could instantly appear behind them and stab their kidneys viciously.

    Swoosh!

    ck Panther carried Zhao Yao on his back and disappeared instantly. Reappearing behind a middle-aged man, he stabbed his back viciously before disappearing once again. This time, he appeared behind a youth.

    The youth was urinating when he screamed in pain and fell into the urinals.

    This was just the beginning. With the consecutive activation of his superpower, ck Panther brought Zhao Yao towards the direction of the feline girls. Along the way, they created quite a bit of chaos.

    ¡°Ah!¡±

    ¡°Ah!¡±

    ¡°Oh!¡±

    ¡°Ooo!¡±

    A series of screams rang from the puppets of the King of Death. The King of Death covered his kidney fuming while his other hand typed furiously on the cell phone. ¡°ck Panther, I am going to kill him! I am going to kill him!!¡±

    At the same time, Terminator, King Kong, Sharky, and ck Mamba received the message from the King of Death.

    ¡°Zhao Yao and ck Panther have appeared. ck Panther is teleporting with Zhao Yao and traveling at high speed.¡±

    ¡°Kill ck Panther, prevent him from assisting Zhao Yao, then exterminate Zhao Yao.¡±

    The eyes of the four men emitted cold rays. It was their turn to take action.

    Sharky used his finger that was soaked in cold water to write on the table top. ¡°Kill ck Panther, capture Zhao Yao, do not take his life.¡±

    The four men gazed at each other and nodded.

    The next moment, the surrounding passers-by let out gasps of astonishment as ck mes appeared on the bodies of the four men. The ominous mes burnt fervently, however they appeared harmless as their clothing and objects were intact.

    The four men rushed out of the convenience shop and leaped a few steps before shooting up to the roof and running in the direction of Zhao Yao.

    With thebustion of the ck mes, Terminator felt explosive energy circting in his body, almost about to spill out of his body and engulf the entire world.

    On every leap, powerful energy emitted from his soles. The ground underneath his soles cracked opened and the reactive force pushed their bodies into the sky. They felt as though they had been relieved of the gravitational pull of the Earth. Within a blink of an eye, they had traveled hundreds of meters in distance.

    Leaping on the rooftops of high rise buildings, they closed in gradually on ck Panther¡¯s moving position.

    The King of Death¡¯s puppets did not span all of Jianghai, so ck Panther still required Zhao Yao to spare a few steps and some detours.

    The Terminator team however traveled in a straight line with astonishing speed. The King of Death updated them continuously on the location of ck Panther.

    One of the puppets of the King of Death lifted his head and saw the four men leaping tens of meters in mid-air, from one building to another. His face looked intensely satisfied.

    ¡°Satan¡¯s Dark Scorch is able to absorb damage and strengthen the body temporarily. The greater the damage, the stronger the body bes. They had umted several injuries, hence their bodies were as strong as Superman.

    Dark Scorch is my most powerful superpower for direct confrontation.¡± The King of Death muttered, ¡°If I do not take the d*mn side effects into ount...¡±

    Meanwhile, as Zhao Yao and ck Panther teleported behind a puppet, they noticed four ck mes streaking across the sky and traveling towards them at breakneck speed.

    ck Panther hesitated for a while. ¡°What is that?¡±

    Zhao Yao could sense the malevolence of the four dark figures. After considering the situation of the feline girls, he patted on ck Panther¡¯s head and said, ¡°Ignore them, let¡¯s continue. Let them chase us.¡±

    At the same time, the Terminator team also noticed ck Panther and Zhao Yao in the distance. However, they shed for a while and disappeared into thin air.

    ¡°They fled fast.¡± Terminator read the message on his cell phone. Narrowing his eyes, he thought, ¡°We have predicted their escape route and direction.¡±

    ck Mamba looked at the message sent by the King of Death and thought, ¡°Going northwards.¡±

    ¡°Terminator and ck Mamba, you shall make a detour towards their navigation direction and intercept them at the front.¡± Sharky sprinted while he group-messaged, ¡°Fight a fast decisive battle, the Chinese government is starting to notice us.¡±

    The King of Death sensed his puppet¡¯s location and sneered. ¡°Humph, the superpower of ck Panther may be useful, however, if we are well prepared, we will be able to predict the location of your every moves.¡±

    Every puppet was manipted by the King of Death to assemble so as to ascertain ck Panther¡¯s location.

    With the support of intelligence from the King of Death, the four men rapidly narrowed the distance. Within a few minutes, when Zhao Yao and ck Panther reappeared, they were within a range of 100 meters.

    ¡°Three more teleportations at the most and we will catch up with them.¡± The eyes of Terminator shone brilliantly with cold rays. ck mes frolicked on his palms, changing into a dragon which umted dark power before the strike.

    Momentster, when Zhao Yao and ck Panther appeared behind a puppet, Terminator and ck Mamba were already within ten meters of their location. Their fists were shrouded with the ominous mes, which looked like double dragons. They shot towards ck Panther.

    On facing the ferocious attack of the two men, ck Panther got frightened and his body stiffened. Zhao Yao was unfazed. He flicked his finger and an invisible Deflective Field hurtled towards the two attackers.

    Bam!

    The air exploded as if detonating two huge bombs and the Deflective Field collided with the ck mes. Under Zhao Yao¡¯s astonished gaze, the power of the Deflective Field rapidly dissipated while the ck mes expanded and were about to prate the Deflective Field.

    In the next instant, ck Panther activated Teleport and both of them vanished just as the fists of Terminator and ck Mamba hit each other and the collision sprouted ck tongues of fire. The pure energy underneath their legs causedrge fissures to appear on the road.

    ¡°Go after them!¡± Terminator roared like a tiger. Disregarding whether hispanion heard him or not, he leaped with his might and a series of afterimages trailed behind him in the sky. He sprinted in the direction of theirst location and continued his pursuit.

    The six men continued their cat and mouse pursuit. The King of Death ced his puppets strategically to better predict the route of ck Panther. With every few shes, the ck Panther was ambushed by at least two of the attackers.

    All the attacks were countered by Zhao Yao¡¯s Deflective Field. The series of conflicts were fast and short-lived like fire sparks. As ck Panther was traveling at his maximum speed, he was only about 50 meters away from Fu Mi and herpanions when hest teleported.

    At this critical instant, ck Panther discovered that within a radius of 100 meters, besides the puppet that he had currently stabbed, all other puppets had retreated far beyond the range of his teleport.

    The King of Death¡¯s eyes shed brilliantly. ¡°It¡¯s settled.¡±

    He had ordered the movement of the puppets so as to bait ck Panther to his next teleportation point. He was also testing the maximum range of his teleportation.

    Finally, he led ck Panther to a location with the least puppets which he had spread far apart. After ck Panther teleported, he withdrew the puppets to a safe distance, out of the maximum range of teleportation.

    Once he realized the situation, ck Panther yelled, ¡°Mentor, bad news, the puppets are not within range. I am unable to teleport.¡±

    ¡°No problem, we have traveled far enough.¡± Zhao Yao jumped down and surveyed the four distant figures that were speeding towards him. He opened his mouth and spat out Elizabeth, Ares, Lightning, and Roly Poly.

    When ck Panther was teleporting at a high speed, Zhao Yao was unable tomunicate with ck Panther telepathically and he was concerned that the cats he spat out would be lost along the way, so he resorted to countering the attacks with his Deflective Field.

    When ck Panther was no longer teleporting, Zhao Yao¡¯s concern was no longer valid. He spat out the four cats who were all made invisible by Roly Poly while Ares hung onto Zhao Yao¡¯s body.

    Meanwhile, the Terminator team saw that Zhao Yao and ck Panther had stopped. Their eyes sparkled with surprise. ¡°Not running anymore?¡±

    ¡°The King of Death has seeded, they can¡¯t escape.¡±

    ¡°Kill ck Panther first.¡±

    ¡°Do not kill Zhao Yao.¡±

    The four men lost their sense of hearing, so they were unable tomunicate. However, their thoughts were almost the same.

    The ck mes shrouding the four men exploded violently and the energy from their legs pounded the ground. Like four cannon shots, they hurtled towards ck Panther, totally disregarding Zhao Yao¡¯s existence. Even if they had to endure the first strike from Zhao Yao, they were adamant about killing ck Panther first.

    Moreover, after the short skirmish with Zhao Yao, they had roughly estimated the power of his attacks, which could be easily absorbed by their ck mes.

    Though the fiery ck mes did not have heat and were unable to incinerate objects, they were able to absorb massive damage and use that energy to upgrade their powers. The greater the damage, the greater the improvement of their bodies, speed, and power.

    As they rushed headlong into battle, Zhao Yaomunicated via his consciousness, ¡°Lightning, activate your power.¡±

    Sparks flew from Lightning¡¯s body and Zhao Yao activated Time Freeze. Grabbing the lightning with his hands, he advanced towards the four men.

    When he was holding the lightning, the super static electricity caused Zhao Yao¡¯s hair to stand on end as though each strand was on fire. There were no traces of difort on his face. ¡°Humph, simr attacks have no effect on me.¡±

    Zhao Yao had be immune to the effects of the super static electricity and he could disregard the dangerous discharge.

    During the frozen time, Zhao Yao strolled to the front of the Terminator team and bashed them with lightning. After dealing with them, Zhao Yao intended to settle the problem of the feline girls.

    He returned to his original position, grabbed ck Panther and the four cats, and walked towards Fu Mi.

    When time resumed, the Terminator team screamed in agony, their hair stood on end like steel needles. Pain permeated their bodies, overwhelming them to the point where they howled and copsed to the floor, unable to stand up.

    With the damage done to their bodies, the ck mes broke into a raging fire. Licks of ck mes came out from their eyes, mouths, ears, and nostrils.

    ¡°What power is that?¡±

    ¡°This is no good. I am unable to move due to the pain!¡±

    ¡°I got it.¡± Terminator gritted his teeth, his hand travelled down his lower body and he yanked with all his might.

    With a loud bellow of excruciating pain, he pounded his fist on the ground, causing an explosion that degenerated into a crater.

    ...

    Meanwhile, on thewn, the group of fighting feline girls felt a blurred image sh in front of them. A man appeared right before them.

    ¡°Who is that?¡±

    ¡°Brother?¡± Zhao Xue eximed, ¡°Run brother! This ce is dangerous!¡± Zhao Xue was anxious seeing Zhao Yao. Right now, feline girls were only a match for each other. Other apostles were unable to attack effectively and were easily defeated by the feline girls. This was not a fight for normal apostles.

    With the exmation by Zhao Xue, all feline girls instantly focused their attention on Zhao Yao.

    The eleven feline girls from the House of Cats activated their psychokinesis in order to restrain Zhao Yao and use him as a hostage against Zhao Xue.

    Meanwhile, Fu Mi and herpanions countered with their psychokinesis to protect Zhao Yao.

    The next instant, all the feline girls felt their psychokinesis smashing into a great wall, unable to prate a five-meter radius around Zhao Yao.

    The feline girls from the House of Cats were puzzled. ¡°What happened?¡±

    Another feline girl hollered, ¡°Is this guy able to fend off our psychokinesis?¡±

    ¡°What situation is this? Where is everybody?¡± Zhao Yao frowned as he could not hear their breathing and heartbeats. However, he felt the invisible attacks on Ares¡¯ Deflective Field.

    Fu Mi and herpanions are in their ethereal forms. What is the issue with the House of Cats?¡±

    Sphynx cat had not exined the details of the situation on the cell phone. Since he was not able to figure out the situation clearly, Zhao Yao decided to let Ares maintain the Deflective Field and he himself would protect ck Panther.

    ¡°ck Panther, get ready toe in.¡±

    The feline girls watched Zhao Yao open his mouth and a swirling vortex sucked ck Panther into Zhao Yao¡¯s belly.

    ¡°Cannibal!?¡±

    Everyone was shocked by what they had seen. At the same time, Sphynx cat knelt in a shrub near to Zhao Yao and privatelymunicated to him, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Xue, and herpanions are now in an ethereal form. As for the feline girls from the House of Cats, ording to my observation, they may be in gaseous form.¡±

    ¡°Gaseous form? Zhao Yao was taken aback.

    Sphynx cat nodded his head. He had been observing using his superior insight ability. He could detect the abnormal flow of the air currents, as though there was a life force circting on thewn and within the house.

    While the feline girls were still in shock and Zhao Yao was contemting the situation, a ferocious bellow rang from behind the wall.

    ¡°Zhao Yao!!¡±

    The wall was sted into smithereens and four ck infernos rushed in, gazing intensely at Zhao Yao. They were the Terminator team.

    Their ears, mouths, eyes, and nostrils spat out streams of Dark Scorch. Their entire bodies were covered by the Dark Scorch as well. Their faces were horribly distorted and their pain caused them to periodically inhale cool air. Their gazes towards Zhao Yao were filled with deep hatred.

    Zhao Yao turned his head and was astonished by what he saw. ¡°You are able to endure my attack? You have earned my respect.¡±

    Meanwhile, the four men bellowed and their bodies created four streams of airwaves while they sprinted in front of Zhao Yao. Like gigantic steel ws, four pairs of gigantic hands grabbed onto Zhao Yao.

    Satan¡¯s Dark Scorch was a supercat power that absorbed damage and enhanced physical strength.

    The super static electricity attack made Terminator and the others suffer great pain. However, it did not cause any physical damage to them. Instead, it enhanced their physical bodies.

    The four of them attacked out of anger and their attack set off a hurricane. The four pairs of hands were burning with ck raging fire as they tried and scratch Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Just break his limbs.¡±

    ¡°As long as he doesn¡¯t die.¡±

    The four of them temporarily were more physically fit than the Butcher. The power erupted like a tsunami. Ares¡¯s Deflective Field exploded. Air currents surged through Zhao Yao¡¯s body and seemed like they were going to crush Zhao Yao.

    Before Zhao Yao could retaliate, a shadow shed across the air and a series of shadows could be seen shing around Zhao Yao.

    Then with a rumble, the four ck-fire warriors let out a scream and were thrown out.

    ¡°You want to attack Ares?¡±

    ¡°Ares, let me teach them a lesson for you.¡±

    Sphynx had attacked. He was so fast that no one could see him. He beat up the ck-fire warriors violently.

    His steel ws were as hard as titanium as he scratched across their chests and his paws hit their backbones. His tail which was harder than steel columns whipped their faces.

    The attacks came down like a thunderstorm, hitting the ck-fire warriors until they curled up in mid-air. They couldn¡¯t evennd on the ground, retaliating was impossible.

    The feline girls from the House of Cats shouted, ¡°This is not the battlefield for normal apostles like you. Get out of our way.¡±

    A few feline girls activated their psychokinesis together and even in the powered up state, they could not move the four ck-fire warriors. They were suspended in midair by Sphynx cat¡¯s attacks.

    Before they could react, Sphynx cat wielded a fist towards the feline girl who spoke. Despite being in a gaseous state, the feline girl felt that she flew out involuntarily. She could only gather herself together after a hundred meters. She looked at the scene in terror. ¡°What attack was that?¡±

    The wind raged and the four ck-fire warriors were constantly yelling. The floor beneath them looked like it was bombed. All the soil, sand, and nts had flown everywhere after Sphynx cat stepped on the ground.

    Sphynx cat hit the ck-fire warriors on the chest and as a white gas exploded out from between his paws and their chest, the four ck-fire warriors shot off into the distance. A loud shriek was heard and they crashed into the school building.

    The four warriors crashed into the building like bombs. The feline girl¡¯s base and the school building copsed.

    The feline girls were dumbfounded by this series of attacks. They couldn¡¯t even see Sphynx cat. All they saw was four men filled with ck mes charge towards Zhao Yao and be thrown out by an invisible force.

    Then, the entire battlefield looked like it was bombed and air currents crashed so violently that their psychokinesis could not calm them down. The four ck-fire warriors were also attacked by an unknown force and their psychokinesis was unable to move them. In fact, the air current from the attacks had ejected a feline girl by hundred meters.

    In a few seconds, the entire school building and the greenbelt nearby had turned into ruins. They had never even heard of destruction of this scale, not to mention witnessing it. This kind of destruction was beyond their imagination.

    ¡°What power is this?¡±

    ¡°A human can do this?¡±

    ¡°It was as powerful as a cannon.¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Xue, Fu Mi, and the others were also in shock. Yellow Bro asked, ¡°Fu Mi, I thought only feline girls could take on feline girls. Why do I feel like they are more powerful than us?¡±

    Fu Mi was also bewildered. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±

    However, something more astonishing happened. The four ck-fire warriors who flew out stood up from the ruins. They swept the cement, stones and broken walls off of themselves and the ck me surrounding them was more turbulent. It also grew to a height of three meters, emitting an evil and mysterious aura.

    Terminatorughed, ¡°Zhao Yao it is useless. The more you attack us, the stronger we get. Just give up.¡±

    Zhao Yao tilted his head and told Elizabeth, ¡°Elizabeth, illusion.¡±

    ¡°I have activated it for a while now.¡± Elizabeth said, ¡°I don¡¯t think they are affected by it.¡±

    Surprised, Zhao Yao raised his eyebrows. ¡°That powerful?¡±

    Meanwhile, Sphynx cat had already charged up and pped Terminator on the face. Terminator spun and flew off in a distance. As Terminator flew off, the other three ck-fire warriors attacked Sphynx cat.

    Sphynx cat¡¯s face changed. This time, the four ck-fire warriors were more powerful than before. Although he knocked down the four of them again, it was not as easy as the previous time. They fought amidst the ruins and the remaining broken walls also flew out. It was as if there were five dragons on a rampage.

    Every moment of contact and collision of powers was like thunder. The ruins of the school building turned into ashes with the rumbling.

    Looking at the shocking destruction, all the feline girls were stunned.

    ¡°Since when did the normal apostles be so powerful?¡±

    ¡°The scale of destruction, the physical strength, this is so scary! It probably won¡¯t even hurt if bullets hit them.¡±

    ¡°Their powers are so strong. There are such strong powers in the world?¡± The House of Cat¡¯s feline girls looked at the battle with greed. ¡°If we get hold of such powers, we would be stronger and no one will be able to fight us.¡±

    After fighting for a while, Sphynx cat observed the ck-fire warriors and when he thought back on what Terminator had said, he retreated into shadows.

    Finally, everyone saw what was fighting the four ck-fire warriors. A Sphynx cat.

    Zhao Xue eximed, ¡°It is Sphynx? He¡¯s that powerful?¡±

    Fu Mi and the others were also shocked that the cat who was protecting Zhao Xue was so powerful. The scale of destruction and the physical abilities, if it was not that they had the spirit superpower, they wouldn¡¯t evenst for a second. Before this, she had thought that his physical abilities were simr to the feline girls, what a mistake.

    ¡°Sphynx cat is already so powerful.¡± Fu Mi thought to herself. ¡°However, the four of them are more powerful. After the vigorous attack from Sphynx cat, they weren¡¯t even hurt. This is so terrifying. The four apostles are terrifying. Our fight was like a gamepared to them. There are such strong powers in the world?¡±

    The feline girls in the House of Cats look at the four ck-fire warriors in envy.

    Terminator looked at the disappearance of the Sphynx cat and looked at Zhao Yao. Heughed coldly, ¡°Zhao Yao was that your trump card? It is powerful but meaningless towards us. Attacks like this only make us stronger.¡±

    Although Terminator couldn¡¯t hear, he was used to attacking the opponent verbally to increase the psychological advantage.

    As he spoke, the four of them shed and surrounded Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Xue, along with Fu Mi and the rest could feel the evil aura radiating off the four warriors. Fu Mi panicked. ¡°Where are they from? They are too terrifying!¡±

    Zhao Yao shouted at Zhao Yao. ¡°Brother, run. I will block them.¡± As she spoke, she activated her psychokinesis and worked it around ck Mamba¡¯s neck.

    Her psychokinesis which was normally capable of breaking a steel column only slowed ck Mamba slow down slightly. He groaned and walked towards Zhao Yao again.

    Zhao Yao shook his hand and said, ¡°You don¡¯t need to block them. I will take care of these four losers immediately. Sphynx cat, you don¡¯t have to attack too.¡±

    Sphynx¡¯s voice came in. ¡°It is impossible that they can absorb powers infinitely. After a while, they should turn weak again.¡±

    Zhao Yao replied coldly, ¡°There is no need to. I will crush them now.¡±

    Zhao Yao moved back and entered the Dimension Portal, then, he sat down on the sofa.

    When they saw a sofa suddenly appear and Zhao Yao¡¯s actions, they were all confused.

    Zhao Yao didn¡¯t care and sat downfortably on the sofa. He adjusted his position and told Ares, ¡°Ares make the sofa float.¡±

    Then, the sofa Zhao Yao was sitting on floated.

    Zhao Yao ced his chin on his hand, looked at the four ck-fire warriors and said slowly. ¡°You want to fight me with only one power? I have so many ways to kill you. But, I have a lot of time today so I shall y with you.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Zhao Xue is watching right? I shall show her how powerful her brother is today.¡±

    As he spoke, a red light shed across both Elizabeth and his eyes.

    Although the illusions were ineffective against the ck-fire warriors, this did not affect Elizabeth¡¯s controlling powers.

    Zhao Yao and Elizabeth stared at Terminator and ck Mamba. Then, they felt their body stiffen and lost control. To their horror, they realized that they had started attacking Sharky.

    Sharky who was hit in the waist and back fell onto the floor. He looked at Terminator and ck Mamba in anger and shouted, ¡°What are you doing!¡±

    All he saw was ck Mamba and Terminator looking innocent and confused. They had no idea what just happened.

    Suddenly, Sharky and King Kong attacked ck Mamba and Terminator.

    King Kong: ¡°What¡¯s wrong with my body?¡±

    Sharky: ¡°I am controlled?¡±

    The next moment, ck Mamba and Terminator was controlled and attacked King Kong and Sharky again.

    Under the control of Zhao Yao and Elizabeth, the four ck-fire warriors started attacking each other. Once they attacked each other, Zhao Yao and Elizabeth would release their control. However, when they stopped attacking Zhao Yao and Elizabeth would control them to attack again.

    The inexplicable battle hurt the four of them to the point where they didn¡¯t care if each other could hear and started shouting.

    ¡°Are you guys crazy?¡±

    ¡°Stop.¡±

    Everyone who saw this was puzzled. Zhao Xue watched the intense fight among the four of them and asked, ¡°What happen to them? Why are they attacking themselves?¡±

    Fu Mi replied in shock, ¡°They look like they are being controlled. Zhao Xue, does your brother have the powers to control others?¡±

    ¡°I... I don¡¯t know.¡± She looked at Zhao Yao who was lying on the sofa. He was peeling a banana and watching the four ck-fire warriors fight as entertainment.

    The feline girls from House of Cats watched in the four ck-fire warriors fight in shock.

    ¡°This man actually has the power to control others.¡±

    ¡°What a peculiar power.¡±

    The feline girls looked at Zhao Yao with greed. If they had the same power, they would be very powerful too.

    Meanwhile, Sharky yelled and charged towards Zhao Yao. In that instant, ck Mamba and Terminator attacked Sharky¡¯s back and chest. However, Sharky continued charging towards Zhao Yao at a faster speed. He didn¡¯t care if he was injured, he just wanted to attack Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao was eating a banana and he flicked his wrist and activated Cheese¡¯s flying abilities. The ground below Sharky broke away flew into the sky with Sharky.

    Soon, all the supercats in the Extradimensional Belly had gathered around Zhao Yao. However, they were all hidden by Roly Poly¡¯s invisibility.

    Sharky who was in the air tried to jump down from the rising piece ofnd. However, he realized that whenever he jumped another piece ofnd would appear under him. Instead ofnding on the ground, he was rising higher and higher.

    Sharky watched the building get smaller and smaller in cold sweat. He never thought that Zhao Yao would have such strange abilities.

    Meanwhile, King Kong was pinned down by Terminator and ck Mamba. He was yelling angrily but he could not escape them.

    ¡°Zhao Yao!¡± a shout came from the sky. It was Sharky, he had broken through the obstacle under his foot and was charging down with the aid of his ck mes.

    ¡°Good try.¡± Zhao Yao snapped his fingers and a Dimension Portal appeared in front of him.

    Sharky was charging towards Zhao Yao like ck lightning, however, he was swallowed by the Dimension Portal.

    Then, Sharky was spat out like a cannon towards Terminator, ck Mamba, and King Kong. The collision caused a huge amount of sand to fly up. Sharky continued to crash into a wall, dug into the ground and rolled to a stop on the streets.

    Upon looking at the four ck-fire warriors rolling on the ground, Zhao Xue was amazed. ¡°What power is this! It can swallow people up and spit them out?¡±

    Fu Mi was shocked. ¡°Zhao Xue, your brother has many powers too?¡±

    ¡°How is it possible?¡± The feline girls in the House of Cats were bewildered. ¡°How can this guy master several powers at once?¡±

    The four of them who were on the ground stood up in a rage. The ck mes on them grew five meters tall.

    ck Mamba and Terminator also looked at Zhao Yao filled with fury.

    The target was a lot stronger than expected. Terminator tried to pressure Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Zhao Yao! It is useless. No matter how many powers you have, you can¡¯t harm us. We will only get stronger and you will be defeated.¡±

    ¡°Harm you?¡± Zhao Yao threw his half-eaten banana on the floor and Rice Cake who was invisible was fed a Spicy Cat Strip. Zhao Yao drew out the Murasama de.

    Holding the Murasama de which vibrated ten million times each second. Zhao Yao spoke calmly, ¡°Don¡¯t get me wrong, I am just enjoying the fun of bullying the weak. If I really want to hurt you...¡±

    Time stopped flowing.

    It was a blur and everyone could just see ck Mamba let out a painful yell before he was surrounded by the silver shes of the de.

    ¡°I just need one power to kill you. However, I don¡¯t like to kill. I like to help others and I think you need my help.¡±

    In everyone¡¯s terror, ck Mamba¡¯s body started spurting out blood and his right hand fell to the floor. He hugged his broken arm and was yelling in pain. Although the ck mes rose again and the injury closed quickly, the broken arm did not grow back.

    ¡°This is impossible. What ability is this? What attack is it?¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t see it. How did it happen? How was ck Mamba injured?¡±

    The other three ck-fire warriors watched this scene in terror. Although they could not hear Zhao Yao, they knew that he had the ability to kill them. They yelled and with desperate conviction, charged towards Zhao Yao.

    When he saw the three of them charging towards him, Zhao Yao asked coldly, ¡°Who allowed you toe over?¡±

    Then his right hand moved and a beam of light shot out from the red gem on the Paralysis Ring. That instant, the three ck-fire warriors who desperately wanted to kill Zhao Yao stopped abruptly. They turned around and started to chase after the red beam frantically.

    Even ck Mamba who was screaming in pain threw away his broken arm and chased after the red dot too.

    In fact, it was not just them, all the feline girls who were in spirit or gaseous form started chasing after the red beam.

    Zhao Xue was shocked. ¡°What is wrong? Why is my body out of control?¡±

    Fu Mi watched everyone who was present get controlled around by the red beam. She was stunned too. ¡°What power is this? Why are we chasing after the red beam?¡± She was going crazy. They were in spirit form and yet they were still being controlled.

    The feline girls from the House of Cats were in disbelief too.

    ¡°Why? We are already in our gaseous state, how can we be affected by the power?¡±

    ¡°Controlling humans, floating sofa, lifting the ground up, the silver de and the red beam. How many powers does this guy have!¡±

    ¡°Why is it like this? I thought only we could have multiple powers? Why does this guy have this ability too? In fact, he has more powers than us!¡±

    Everyone was going crazy from the Paralysis Ring. However, Zhao Yao was moving the Paralysis Ring and observing. Atst, he saw an exmation mark appear in the air.

    ¡°Oh, is someone going to help?¡± He looked at the four ck-fire warriors but the exmation mark was not from them. It must be from a feline girl then.

    Thinking of this, Zhao Yao grabbed Ragdoll cat, Catherine, and pointed the Paralysis Ring at Catherine.

    ¡°Roly Poly, remove the invisibility on Catherine.¡±

    The next moment, everyone looked at the Ragdoll cat and cked out.

    Compared to Elizabeth¡¯s illusion that required them to hear and remain in solid form, Catherine¡¯s powers were of higher range. Even if the opponents were shadows or spirits, she could force them to sleep.

    The priority of the powers was something that Zhao Yao had figured out. After all, he had used so many powers and that was the conclusion he hade to. The priority was a form of authority. Every power was different. For example, most of the powers were of lower prioritypared to Mango¡¯s power. They could be overwritten by Mango.

    Matcha¡¯s Time Freeze was of even higher priority. In Time Freeze, even Mango¡¯s powers would be frozen.

    Although Elizabeth¡¯s illusions had a wide variety they were of lesser prioritypared to Catherine. Illusions were ineffective on the feline girls and ck-fire warriors but Catherine¡¯s powers were still effective.

    Zhao Yao was thinking, ¡°Although Mango¡¯s powers are useful they are hard to show off with. The next time I level up the Book, I should add Catherine into the book to counter all the weird transformation and forms.¡±

    As Zhao Yao was thinking, a dozen figures appeared in midair. The feline girls returned to their original form and fell on to the ground.

    However, Catherine¡¯s powers could only cause light sleeping. Hence, when they fell onto the ground, the feline girls woke up.

    When the feline girls woke up, Zhao Yao looked at the girls and sent out invisible waves towards the feline girls. ¡°Pupil Dispersion.¡±

    That moment, hundreds of Mathematics Olympiad questions flooded their heads. They let out shrieks and some started crying out loud. All of them looked devastated.

    Fu Mi shouted, ¡°It is so hard! Why is it so hard?¡±

    Ah Yuan cried, ¡°I can¡¯t do it! I really cannot!¡±

    The feline girl from the House of Cats grabbed her head in pain. ¡°This question is too hard!¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed and said, ¡°Looks like my Pupil Dispersion is effective on high school students too.¡± He turned and saw Zhao Xue kneeling on the floor in desperation. ¡°Damn, I can¡¯t do this at all.¡±

    Meanwhile, Xiaoyu looked rxed and stood up. ¡°What? They are all practice questions from Math Olympiad. It is so easy.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s face turned ck when he saw this. He didn¡¯t care about Fu Mi, Zhao Xue, Xiaoyu, and the others. Instead, he took the chance and flicked his finger.

    This time the Deflective Field wrapped around the 11 feline girls from the House of Cats. The 11 feline girls were hidden by another feline girl¡¯s invisibility power. Even if they were back in their original forms, they were invisible. However, their breathing and heartbeats gave them away.

    Surrounded by the Deflective Field, even if they turned into gas, they could not escape.

    After doing all of this, Zhao Yao shouted, ¡°Ares.¡± The next moment, Ares took over the Deflective Field with the 11 feline girls.

    The four ck-fire warriors also woke up. They had lost their hearing and were not affected by the illusion.

    ¡°It is so terrifying. Zhao Yao is not human. How can there be such a powerful apostle?¡±

    ¡°This Zhao Yao is a freak. He has so many powers. We are no match for him.¡±

    ¡°Escape. We have to escape or else if we are captured and our toxin acts up, we are dead.¡±

    Watching the four ck-fire warriors run, Zhao Yaoughed and ce his chin on his palm. He looked at them and said, ¡°I shall give you eight seconds.¡±

    After eight seconds, the four ck-fire warriors¡¯ bodies shed. As time stopped and started flowing, they realized they were back at their starting point, in front of Zhao Yao.

    When they saw Zhao Yao they ran again. However, eight secondster they were back in front of Zhao Yao.

    They ran again and were back again. It happened for three times and when once again the four ck-fire warriorsnded in front of Zhao Yao, they stopped running.

    Zhao Yao looked at them panting and asked, ¡°Not running?¡±

    ck Mamba was shocked. ¡°What is going on? The powers are so strange. What just happened?¡±

    Sharky was about to break down. ¡°Damn it. What power is this?¡±

    Terminator broke down. ¡°How many powers does this guy have?¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s just fight him!¡± King Kong hollered and dashed towards Zhao Yao. When his fist was about to hit Zhao Yao¡¯s head, his body shed and returned back to its starting ce.

    Upon seeing this, the four ck-fire warriors gave up. They couldn¡¯t defeat him, they couldn¡¯t run. Until now, they couldn¡¯t even go near him. He was really undefeatable. They were no match for him.

    When Zhao Yao was ying with the four ck-fire warriors, the feline girls from the House of Cats tried to escape the Deflective Field. After they realized they couldn¡¯t, they turned into gas.

    Even so, they still couldn¡¯t break through the Deflective Field.

    While they were trying to escape, they saw Zhao Yao ying with ck Mamba, Terminator, and the rest.

    ¡°This guy is too scary.¡±

    ¡°His powers are infinite. How many powers does he have?¡±

    ¡°Thest power is so strange. What exactly is happening?¡±

    Seeing how powerful Zhao Yao was made them give up trying to resist. Up till then, Zhao Yao was still sitting on the sofa. He never once stood up. This meant that he was not even at his maximum capabilities.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao¡¯s face changed. ¡°You guys!¡±

    The ck-fire warriors who were wrapped in ck mes started screaming and their body began aging under the burning mes.

    Their muscles shrank, their hair started turning white, and their teeth dropped one by one. They had been in their prime years and now they were all senile and weak. In fact, they were still aging.

    Zhao Yao stood up for the first time wanting to do something, he saw Terminator reach out towards him and say, ¡°Save... Save me...¡±

    The next moment, the four ck-fire warriors dried up and were mummified. They were dead.

    In a building not far away, God of Death put his binocrs down. ¡°The side effect of ck mes had taken effect? The four of them look like they have been sucked dry of their lives.¡±

    Although the four ck-fire warriors were silenced, the God of Death was not happy. After he saw Zhao Yao¡¯s capabilities, he fell solemn.

    ¡°Zhao Yao... this guy is too dangerous. I may be only one in the world who stands a chance at defeating him.¡± That moment he felt like a brave warrior preparing to face evil.

    ¡°Gather everyone for a meeting. The intel we have collected is very important.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the dried corpses on the floor in surprise. The feline girls around started screaming out of fear. They were all junior school or high school students, witnessing such a horrific death frightened them out of their wits.

    Zhao Yao immediately raised a few walls using the Deflective Field to block the corpses.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t even touch them and they died.¡± He frowned. ¡°They died just like that? Did the person behind them kill them? Or was it a side effect of their powers?¡±

    At the same time, Fish Ball crawled out from the bushes and ran towards Xiaoyu. He hugged Xiaoyu¡¯s leg and said, ¡°Xiaoyu! You are okay! I was so worried.¡±

    Then, the husky barked and ran over too. He hugged Xiaoyu¡¯s other leg and barked frantically looking concern.

    ¡°What are you two doing here?¡± Xiaoyu was stroking their heads happily till she smelled a stenching from Fish Ball. ¡°What is that smell on you? It stinks!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s Matcha¡¯s urine!¡± Fish Ball shouted what he had wanted to say long ago. ¡°That stench that filled the room just now was Matcha¡¯s urine!¡±

    Nekomata tranted Fish Ball¡¯s words and Xiaoyu turned into spirit form to avoid Fish Ball¡¯s touch. When she heard what Fish Ball said she raged, ¡°Stupid Matcha!¡±

    Fu Mi, Ah Yuan, and Yellow Bro were all crowding around Zhao Yao and looked at him excitedly. ¡°You are Zhao Xue¡¯s brother? You are so powerful.¡±

    Yellow Bro looked at Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°Why do you have so many powers? Are you a feline girl too?¡±

    Ah Yuan punched Yellow Bro on the head and shouted, ¡°Open your eyes. He is obviously a guy. How can he be a feline girl?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the feline girls with curiosity. When he saw the furry ears on their heads, he couldn¡¯t help but stroke them. ¡°Oh, they feel exactly like cat¡¯s ears.¡±

    Fu Mi blushed and took a step back. ¡°Don¡¯t touch my ears. Why do you and Zhao Xue like to touch my ears.¡±

    Zhao Xue was speechless.

    ¡°Okay okay. I shall not touch your ears.¡± Zhao Yao looked at the exmation mark on Fu Mi¡¯s head and smiled. ¡°Is there anything you need help with?¡±

    Fu Mi looked at the guy who was stronger than her imagination and said immediately, ¡°Can you save ourpanions? They were captured by the House of Cats.¡± As she spoke, she looked towards the feline girls who were trapped in the Deflective Field.

    ¡°Save yourpanions?¡± Zhao Yao looked at the mission panel, it was a mission with 1000 experience points. He smiled and nodded. ¡°No problem.¡±

    The police siren sounded again. Hundreds of apostles surrounded them. A group of many apostles, eleration apostles, psychokinesis apostles and ones with other powers were here just to deal with the feline girls.

    Seeing so many apostles appear, the feline girls¡¯ faces changed.

    Fu Mi said, ¡°There are so many of them. Let¡¯s retreat.¡±

    Ah Yuan nodded. ¡°Yeah. Let¡¯s not fight against government officials...¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his hand andforted the feline girls. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I have connections. They are with us.¡± He started shouting at one government official. ¡°Hey, it¡¯s okay already.¡±

    When Lin Chen saw Zhao Yao he rolled his eyes, then he stepped out immediately and shed in front of Zhao Yao. ¡°Yeah, we get it. Stop screaming. Your identity is supposed to be a secret.¡±

    Zhao Yao shrugged his shoulders andughed while he told Lin Chen what had happened. Soon, the police had set up their boundaries and cleared the area. The four bodies of the ck-fire warriors were dragged out. Their autopsy report would be given to Zhao Yao too.

    The feline girls watched in awe.

    Yellow Bro looked at Zhao Xue and asked, ¡°Your brother is so capable. Is he a high ranked officer?¡±

    Ah Yuan said, ¡°He is so strong and he can order the police around. I think he must be a high ranked apostle.¡±

    ¡°I... I don¡¯t know.¡± Zhao Xue shook her head and looked at Zhao Yao¡¯s back in confusion. Everything that happened today had extremely surprised her. It was to the point where she was already numb to it. The once familiar Zhao Yao was so foreign to her now.

    The situation was handled by the government and Zhao Yao waved to the feline girls and brought them into the Extradimensional Belly.

    The House of Cats girls, who were trapped in the Deflective Field, were pulled like balloons into the Dimension Portal.

    In arge building a few hundred meters away, a feline girl with X-ray vision put down her binocrs, her forehead dripping with cold sweat. ¡°This man is too terrifying, I have to inform the Professor.¡±

    ...

    In the Extradimensional Belly, the feline girls were surprised to see hundreds of supercats running about. They were also astonished to overhear the private conversations of the supercats in their minds.

    The supercats surrounded and gaped at the feline girls. They let out cries of astonishment.

    Rice Cake, who had transformed back into cat form, gaped at the feline girls. ¡°This cat is very big.¡±

    Uncle Egg licked his fur andmented, ¡°What is the use of being big when it is bald all over? I can see that her bodycks nutrition and may have dermatitis. Stay away from them to prevent infection.¡±

    Lucifer asked with curiosity, ¡°Aren¡¯t they tired standing on two legs?¡±

    Fu Mi expressed her astonishment and said, ¡°So many cats and they are also supercats.¡± The Pas cat before her knelt down. She asked with curiosity, ¡°What is this cat?¡± She was about to touch his head when Lightning jumped back.

    Lightning also looked at Fu Mi with curiosity. ¡°Wow, what kind of a cat are you? Why are you so ugly?¡±

    Fu Mi frowned and dered angrily, ¡°I am not a cat. I am human.¡±

    Lightning looked at Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, are you thinking of keeping these cats? They are extremely ugly!¡±

    Fu Mi wanted to strangle this tactless cat, however, as it was the territory of Zhao Xue¡¯s brother and she was in awe of his power, she let it pass.

    Zhao Yao pped Lightning¡¯s head and scolded, ¡°What nonsense, I have no intention to keep so many people. That will be costly.¡±

    He looked at Dust Ball and said, ¡°I borrowed the three Dimension Portals just now. You may get them back. Do not lose track of Matcha.¡±

    ¡°Yes, let¡¯s see how Matcha is doing.¡± Lightning ran excitedly to Dust Ball.

    Ares said joyfully, ¡°Oh, let¡¯s see how Matcha is doing!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go and see how Matcha is being beaten!¡±

    The supercats ignored the feline girls and swarmed over to Dust Ball, in anticipation of a good show.

    Zhao Yao looked at Fu Mi and asked, ¡°Are you asking for my help to rescue yourpanions? Do you know where the base of the House of Cats is?¡±

    Fu Mi shook her head. ¡°I do not know but the prisoners will definitely know.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and gazed at the eleven feline girls, who were trapped in the Deflective Field in their gaseous forms. ¡°Tell me honestly where your base is.¡±

    There was no answer as the feline girls were not betraying theirpanions.

    ¡°Do not force me.¡± Zhao Yao lifted up Catherine and shouted, ¡°Do you dare to look over here?¡±

    Each of the feline girls fell asleep and revealed their true form. Zhao Yao snapped his finger and activated the power of Pupil Dispersion on the feline girls.

    The feline girls broke into tears. Zhao Yao asked again, ¡°If you continue to keep quiet, I will continue with more difficult questions like Higher Maths, Calculus, Probability Theory...¡±

    A feline girl sobbed uncontrobly as she begged, ¡°No! Do not force us. I will tell you!¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, in a vi in a rural area, Xu Guanyuan frowned and said, ¡°What did you say? A man with more than ten superpowers captured Xiao Qing and herpanions?¡±

    The feline girl before him nodded her head and said, ¡°That man is too terrifying, Professor. Let¡¯s escape before hees for us.¡±

    Xu Guanyuan looked at her with a lot of doubt. He trusted the feline girl, however, her description was too incredible. How could a man possess more than ten superpowers? That was not logical.

    Another feline girl, who was standing beside Xu Guanyuan, said, ¡°Xiao Wei, are you mistaken? How can a man possess more than ten superpowers?¡±

    ¡°I am very sure what I¡¯ve seen is correct!¡±

    While they were in a heated discussion, a loud explosion rang from upstairs. The feline girls looked worried and Xiao Wei shouted, ¡°It must be that man!¡±

    ...

    After Zhao Yao sted the steel door open, he walked into the garden of the vi and said, ¡°Anyone at home? I have a delivery.¡±

    Two feline girls jumped out of the vi windows, sized up Zhao Yao and yelled, ¡°Who are you? This is private property and no strangers are allowed entry.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at them and replied, ¡°Is this the home of Professor Xu? I am here to socialize with him.¡±

    The two feline girls looked at each other, then activated their psychokinesis against Zhao Yao. However, they felt as though their psychokinesis had no effect. Zhao Yao swept their necks using the Deflective Field and they passed out.

    Zhao Yao walked into the vi to search for the Professor and was met with countless attacks from the feline girls who were in gaseous form. In one hand, he held Catherine and in the other, he aimed the Paralysis Ring at Catherine. Using thisbination, he cast the feline girls into a deep sleep as he advanced into the vi.

    Catherine was unhappy and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, do you know how to carry a cat? I am feeling very ufortable. Are you able to support my buttocks?¡±

    Zhao Yao coaxed, ¡°Bear with me for a while, I¡¯m almost done.¡±

    After walking around the vi, Zhao Yao encountered six feline girls and put them into the Extradimensional Belly after subduing them. He did not find any traces of the Professor and the captured feline girls.

    Zhao Yao frowned and closed his eyes, focusing on his hearing. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and gazed below his feet. ¡°There is something underneath.¡±

    He stomped the ground. A piece of the floorboard crumbled and underneath he discovered a corridor that led to the basement.

    After walking in the corridor for more than ten meters, he turned and saw a steel door. He activated the Deflective Field to force open the door. What he saw shocked him.

    More than ten naked girls with their eyes closed andcking any sense of awareness were submerged in nutrient tanks. They were in a vegetative state because of the failed cat transformation medicine. Xu Guanyuan kept them alive here in hopes of reviving them one day.

    Professor Xu did not keep the girls who had lost their apostles¡¯ potential after the failure of the medicine.

    Those girls didn¡¯t know about apostles nor the cat transformation medicine that they had consumed.

    Zhao Yao surveyed the girls in the nutrient tanks and frowned. He heard Fu Mi talk about this before. Now that he had witnessed it, he walked to the front of the tanks and listened with his ears attentively. ¡°I hear breathing and heartbeats. She is still living, perhaps in a vegetative state? I wonder if Lucifer will be able to cure her?¡±

    Zhao Yao spat out Lucifer and pped him. Lucifer was dumbfounded and asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, what are you doing?¡±

    The loyalty of Lucifer did not decrease so Zhao Yao kicked him hard. Lucifer¡¯s body shook as he looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Zhao... Zhao Yao, do not tempt me. I am a normal cat now.¡±

    Lucifer¡¯s loyalty increased by one point.

    ¡°You are abnormal.¡± Zhao Yao activated his power of illusion and deprived him of his senses. ¡°Maybe I should deprive you of your senses permanently.¡±

    Lucifer stared wide-eyed at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, are you that unempathetic, cruel, and unreasonable?¡±

    Lucifer¡¯s loyalty decreased by one point.

    Zhao Yao nodded his head with satisfaction. He broke the tanks and rescued the girls. He said to Lucifer, ¡°Lend them your superpower.¡±

    Lucifer did as he was told.

    A minuteter, Zhao Yao observed the unconscious girls and frowned. ¡°It isn¡¯t working?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought for a while. ¡°Vegetative state means brain dead? Lucifer¡¯s ultra rapid regeneration is able to regenerate a brain that was blown to smithereens, perhaps... there is no regeneration?¡±

    He narrowed his eyes and punched the girl¡¯s head. She let out a moan and started coughing. Opening her eyes, she stared nkly at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°You...¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled as he activated his power of illusion and the young girl went into a deep sleep. ¡°Rest for a while.¡±

    A surveince monitor, which was hidden in a corner of the house, recorded the entire sequence.

    After confirming that Lucifer was able to treat the girls, Zhao Yao continued searching. He discovered an alloy-constructed metalpartment where the captured feline girls were being locked up. They were all in a deep slumber.

    As they were not in danger, Zhao Yao continued his search and discovered several imprisoned supercats. He freed them and put them into the Extradimensional Belly.

    The freed supercats looked at the new environment with astonishment. Several hundreds of supercats were ying, bickering, and fighting.

    Cannon walked to them and sized them up before asking, ¡°Are you new here?¡±

    The supercats nodded their heads and Cannonughed heartily. ¡°Do you want to learn how to grow catmint? Our catmint section provides food and lodging. Our benefits are the best and there is an end of the year bonus.¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao arrived at the deepest end of theboratory. A middle-aged man was hauling a young girl from a huge tank full of emerald liquid nutrients.

    Xu Guanyuan grabbed her neck with one hand and pointed a knife to her throat. There were traces of blood scars on her throat. He stared at Zhao Yao with a crazed look and yelled, ¡°Do note closer. If youe any closer, I will kill her!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s gaze flickered as he advanced towards Xu Guanyuan. ¡°Xu Guanyuan, I want to kill you right now. This is the second time I have the urge to end a life.¡± He extended his hand and the surgery knife flew from Xu Guanyuan¡¯s hand. The young girl was retrieved by his Deflective Field.

    ¡°What do you know? What is wrong with transforming all women into feline girls? Don¡¯t you think the world will be a better ce? With evolution, their offspring will surpass humans and the world will be perfect.¡±

    Xu Guanyuan broke into augh and said, ¡°I have injected her with a nt toxin that I personally extracted. Without my antidote, she will perish within an hour. The rest of the feline girls have also been poisoned with the same toxin. If you do not wish to cause their deaths, let me go!¡±

    Zhao Yao lifted his head to level his gaze on Xu Guanyuan. He exerted power with his palm and strong air currents traveled with the Deflective Field towards Xu Guanyuan, pinning him to a wall.

    The creaking sound of broken bones rang from his body. Almost half of his bones were fractured. He let out howls of pain as he copsed to the floor incapacitated.

    Zhao Yao ignored his pain. He lowered his head and discovered that the girl was bleeding from the nose.

    Zhao Yao was exasperated. He took out Lucifer from the Extradimensional Belly and said, ¡°Lend her your superpower.¡±

    With the ultra rapid regeneration, her nose stopped bleeding. Zhao Yao touched lightly on her forehead and regenerated her damaged brain. Her body shook slightly. She gradually regained consciousness.

    The young girl looked at Zhao Yao and then discovered that she was naked. Letting out a shrill scream, she jumped up and covered herself with her hands. She looked in terror at Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao waved his hand in embarrassment and exined, ¡°It is alright, I am here to rescue you.¡± He pulled a nket from the Extradimensional Belly and flung it over her body.

    The young girl looked suspiciously at Zhao Yao while stealing nces at the surroundings. ¡°What ce is this?¡±

    At this moment, Xu Guanyuan, who was lying on the ground, gave a groan and endured excruciating pain while lifting up his head. ¡°Qing Qing? You have awakened?¡±

    ¡°Dad?¡± She was surprised to see her father on the ground and rushed forward to help him up. However, she stopped when her father screamed in pain. With tears welling up in her eyes, she asked, ¡°Dad, how are you? How do you end up like this? Is it painful?¡±

    Xu Guanyuan looked at her daughter with yearning, his trembling hands caressing her cheeks. ¡°Sorry... sorry... Qing Qing.¡±

    Zhao Yao felt aghast and asked coldly, ¡°Xu Guanyuan, what have you done?¡±

    Xu Guanyuan turned to look at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°I saw from the surveince monitor how you rescued those feline girls. Honestly, I am amazed.¡±

    Zhao Yao retorted, ¡°You are putting on an act for me to save your daughter?¡±

    Xu Guanyuan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. After a traumatic blow by the Deflective Field, the internal injury of a normal person progressively deteriorated. ¡°Yes, I was afraid... that you wouldn¡¯t save her. I am responsible for all of this, it has nothing to do with Qing Qing. Please do not harm her, will you?¡±

    At his sincere request, Zhao Yao sighed. ¡°You do not have to do this. I will save her regardless of what you do.¡±

    Xu Guanyuanughed without restraint. ¡°I am going to die, am I not? Neither you nor the government will let me off.¡±

    Qing Qing looked furiously at Zhao Yao. ¡°Dad, is he the one who harmed you? Are your injuries from him?¡± Her pupils contracted and her hair stood on ends. She looked as though she was transforming into a feline girl.

    Xu Guanyuan gazed at Zhao Yao imploringly and said, ¡°Please knock her unconscious, will you?¡±

    Zhao Yao raised his brow and activated his power of illusion. Qing Qing fainted to the floor. He said solemnly, ¡°Xu Guanyuan, you actually used your daughter to perform experiments?¡±

    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t have failed!!¡± Xu Guanyuan spat out blood and said hysterically, ¡°My previous simtions were all sessful. The animal testings were safe, all were sessful!! It shouldn¡¯t have failed!¡±

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°You carried out the experiments to save your own daughter?¡±

    Xu Guanyuan said calmly, ¡°My daughter was in a vegetative state. I wanted to cure her. I needed more data and experiments to improve the cat transformation medicine to save her. I am very sorry for the feline girls. However, if I can save Qing Qing, everything is worthwhile. If the medicine is sessful, everyone can be cured, the world will change and humans will enter a new era. The cat transformation medicine will be the world¡¯s greatest invention.¡±

    ¡°With the development of superpowers, even if you do nothing, the world will still enter a new era.¡± Zhao Yao shook his head and lifted him using the Deflective Field. ¡°Do you know what is going to happen to you?¡±

    ¡°It is a pity. I will never see thepletion of the cat transformation medicine.¡± Xu Guanyuan gave a wry smile. His face was severely distorted by the enormous pain in his body. With great exertion, he slowly said, ¡°Do not tell Qing Qing the truth, will you?¡±

    As Zhao Yao was about to answer him, his body spasmed. He opened his mouth and vomited arge amount of dark-colored blood.

    Zhao Yao was taken aback while he used his remaining energy to say, ¡°Thank... you...¡±

    Xu Guanyuan¡¯s heart stopped beating. He opened his eyes revealing a deep sense of regret.

    The feline girls were not poisoned. It was Xu Guanyuan who was.

    Zhao Yao shook his head at the passing of Xu Guanyuan. He threw the corpse on the floor and looked at the unconscious feline girl. He lifted and tossed her into the Dimension Portal of the Extradimensional Belly.

    A fire started burning in the void of space and Zhao Yao immediately retreated into the Dimension Portal.

    The mes formed a circr ring and a weird creature walked out from it.

    Its entire body was filled with deep blue sea-colored fur and its four legs stomped with fiery mes. A single horn sprouted from his head, asionally shing with lightning.

    In Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes, it was merely a fire-stomping, blue-furred, single-horned kitten.

    He looked in amazement at the cat and asked, ¡°Supercat?¡±

    The creature looked at the corpse and Zhao Yao before saying, ¡°A pity.¡±

    Zhao Yao asked in a demanding tone, ¡°Who are you?¡±

    ¡°My name is Kun Wu, God of Cats.¡± The supercat sighed. ¡°If the cat transformation medicine had been sessful, it would have been immensely beneficial to the future of the Earth. It is a pity.¡±

    Zhao Yao curiously sized up the supercat, Kun Wu. It was his first time encountering such a cat and he wanted to bring him home.

    Kun Wu read Zhao Yao¡¯s intentions and said, ¡°Human, you and your supercats are powerful, however, it is still not enough to counter the future crisis. The awakening of the cats may look like an opportunity but is actually a crisis.¡±

    ¡°What crisis?¡± Zhao Yao was piqued. ¡°Er... Kun Wu, do you have WeChat? Can I add you as a friend?¡±

    Kun Wu hesitated and shook his head. ¡°I do not add strangers.¡± He said gravely, ¡°I can feel... in the far East, an evil presence is awakening. Hurry up and strengthen yourself. Perhaps you have a better chance of winning.¡±

    Kun Wu¡¯s mes dissipated and his figure vanished into thin air.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes shed with crimson rays and Elizabeth activated the mind control superpower but in vain. Kun Wu was like a mirage that disappeared without a trace.

    ¡°No effect? Perhaps that was not his real body?¡± Zhao Yao was astonished. ¡°Mirage? Or illusion? It is very likely as normal supercats do not look like that.¡±

    ¡°And what is the rtionship of this supercat with Xu Guanyuan? What is his concern with the cat transformation medicine?¡±

    Suddenly, the surrounding equipment burst into mes. Zhao Yao was worried and ran out quickly. He put all the feline girls one by one into his Extradimensional Belly.

    As he walked outside, he discovered that the equipment was in mes too. He opened the Dimension Portal and activated Time Freeze so that he could ce all the feline girls inside. Everyone was safe.

    When time resumed, the entire basementboratory exploded with huge tongues of me. All the equipment were reduced to ash, however, the walls and the floor were intact. It seemed as though the fire was intended to wipe out all traces of equipment andputers.

    Zhao Yao was perplexed. ¡°Is this fire being controlled? If I did not save the feline girls, perhaps they would not be burnt? Is it done by the strange cat? Isn¡¯t the cat mourning the experiment? Why was everything destroyed in the fire?¡±

    In the Extradimensional Belly, Zhao Xue was embarrassed when she saw the naked feline girls being tossed in one by one. She chided him, ¡°Zhao Yao, what are you up to? Why are they stripped of their clothing?¡±

    Yellow Bro knelt down to examine the bodies of the feline girls. Touching their smooth skin, she asked curiously, ¡°Why are their bodies sticky? What kind of a thing is that?¡±

    Fu Mi pulled Yellow Bro aside and said, ¡°Do not touch it, Yellow Bro. That is disgusting stuff.¡±

    ¡°Eh? What is it?¡± Yellow Bro scrutinized the sticky liquid and everyone was shocked when she licked a mouthful and said, ¡°Sweet, pretty tasteful.¡±

    ¡°Fool!¡± Ah Yuan punched her on her head. ¡°Do not eat it!¡±

    ¡°It is alright.¡± Zhao Yao walked out from the Dimension Portal. ¡°Those are liquid nutrients. I don¡¯t think there is poison inside.¡±

    Fu Mi, Zhao Xue, and Ai Yuan blocked Zhao Yao from stepping forward. They hollered frantically, ¡°Don¡¯te over! Don¡¯t look!¡±

    Zhao Yao replied condescendingly. ¡°They¡¯re all t-chested. There is nothing to see. If only they transformed, they might look better.¡± Everyone red at Zhao Yao while he tossed some clothes over. ¡°Let them put these on.¡±

    Fu Mi¡¯spanions gradually regained consciousness. Once they saw each other, they all hugged in excitement.

    Zhao Yao let Lucifer lent his regeneration power to the feline girls in vegetative state and helped revive them.

    Zhao Yao smiled contentedly when he gained 2000 experience points.

 Chapter 659: A New Mission

    <h4>Chapter 659: A New Mission</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    Another 2000 experience points were added as a reward for all the hard work he had done during this period. Zhao Yao stared at the experience points in the Book, which had changed to Book: Level 6 (41 742/20 000).

    ¡°Not bad, not bad. Tomorrow night will be the end of the month. My experience points will be totaled right? That means more experience points. It¡¯s nearing the end of Matcha¡¯s week-long education as well, which means another 500*2 experience points for me.¡± Zhao Yao nced at Elizabeth¡¯s panel, which showed: Elizabeth Level 8 (3000/50 000).

    ¡°At this rate, even if there are no big missions next month, as long as I continue working hard every day to help other people, I will definitely be able to level up Elizabeth. By then, if I can upgrade the Sixth Sense illusion I will finish off God of Death immediately.¡±

    Zhao Yao no longer had trouble finding the God of Death. As long as ck Panther was around, he could ride with ck Panther to track down God of Death¡¯s puppets anytime.

    After looking at the panel, Zhao Yao looked up and saw the feline girls in front of him and thought, ¡°What should I do with them? Release them into the wild? Or just keep them here?¡±

    At the same time, the feline girls groaned as they awoke from theira. Hearing the screams that followed, Zhao Xue¡¯s face reddened as she thought, ¡°Zhao Yao, how did he manage to heal all of them? What exactly did he do to these young girls who had been naked.¡±

    Seeing the feline girls awaken, Fu Mi and the rest rushed towards them and cried in joy.

    Within moments Fu Mi had brought all of them to see Zhao Yao and looked at him with gratitude as she said, ¡°Thank you, Brother Zhao Yao. You¡¯re such a great person. You actually saved all of us!¡± She grabbed Zhao Yao¡¯s hand as she eximed, ¡°Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you so much.¡±

    ¡°No problem, it¡¯s nothing,¡± Zhao Yao shook her hand as he stared at the new mission on the mission panel.

    Mission: Adopt the feline girls.

    Mission Objective: Furry ears and tails, powdery soft paws, beautiful faces, and smooth chests. These cute feline girls should be brought home and raised immediately.

    Reward: 50 experience points will be awarded for every feline girl adopted in the next 24 hours.

    Punishment: To be struck by lightning if 0 feline girls are adopted after 24 hours.

    ¡°What the f*ck, this mission...¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s heart skipped a beat, ¡°Since when do I have these thoughts. Book how did you be so insidious? Struck by lightning? How badly do I actually want to adopt them...¡±

    Fu Mi wanted to let go of his hand, but he held on tightly and his expression became a bit strange.

    Zhao Yao hesitated. ¡°Do I really want to raise these feline girls? That can¡¯t be. I¡¯m such a righteous person, the savior of the human race. How can I wish to do such a thing?¡±

    ncing at the mission on the Book again, Zhao Yao sighed in frustration, ¡°Fine, I did wish to raise feline girls, but just a little... Who wouldn¡¯t wish for that? Living together with cute feline girls, going to work together, stroking their heads when I¡¯m bored... This is something normal people would dream of.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the experience points on the panel pitifully, ¡°But they are humans after all. They have families to return to. They have parents. They need to study. How can I adopt them just like that?¡±

    Looking at the punishment for the mission, Zhao Yao scowled, ¡°D*mn this thing, if I have to be struck by lightning for doing good, it really doesn¡¯t pay to be kind.¡±

    The Book represented Zhao Yao¡¯s powers. The punishment reflected how biased he was. However, desires were desires and logic was still logic. They were not the same.

    ¡°I am not Matcha, who does what he likes just because he has the power of time freeze. I am a righteous person,¡± Zhao Yao thought.

    Looking at the feline girls in front of him, Zhao Yao asked, ¡°What are your ns after this. Will you girls be going home straight away?¡±

    Fu Mi nodded, ¡°Many of us here haven¡¯t been home for really long. Our parents must be so worried. We n to send everyone back home today.¡±

    ¡°Alright, I will be the good guy till the end. I¡¯ll send you all home.¡±

    Zhao Yao sent Fu Mi and the other feline girls home one by one. He sent the locals home while he asked Uncle Ho to arrange for policemen to apany the foreign girls back to their homes overseas.

    As for Professor Xu¡¯s daughter, Qing Qing, Zhao Yao thought that it was better for Caesar and the rest to erase her memories from the previous day. After all, it was better for her not to know what had happened to her father and send her to her grandmother to be raised by her kin.

    After sending off the young girls, only the feline girls from the House of Cats were still held captive in the extradimensional belly. Each of them looked lost and had no idea what to do.

    The reason why they stayed with Professor Xu was to help him research the cat transformation medicine, save theirrades and strengthen their bodies for the future.

    However, the House of Cats had been destroyed and Zhao Yao saved all theatose feline girls. They seemed to have lost their direction in life all of a sudden.

    As for those feline girls, Zhao Yao naturally did not send them home. Most of their actions had been illegal and they were not educated. They were ¡®triple low¡¯, which referred to people in the lower categories of ie, education, and age.

    Hence, Zhao Yao ordered the supercats found in the House of Cats to retract their superpowers. After removing their borrowed powers, Zhao Yao would then hand them over to Uncle Ho for education and re-orientation for them to be better people.

    When he was done with all this, Zhao Yao looked at thest remaining feline girl and said, ¡°What is it? Looks you have many questions for me.¡±

    Looking at Zhao Xue, Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°Humph, I bet I looked d*mn cool to Zhao Xue today. No, I can¡¯t show off now. I must keep it cool and look cool.¡±

    Zhao Xue turned around and stared at him awkwardly. She was not used to his amazing powers since he had always been a useless bum in her eyes. She said in a small voice, ¡°Where did you get so many supercats from?¡±

    ¡°I picked them up,¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°These are all the stray cats I picked up. They were abandoned on the streets. I couldn¡¯t stand it so I adopted them. I love little animals so I couldn¡¯t bear to see them suffer on the streets.¡±

    Not so far away Dust Ball shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao! You threw Matcha out for almost seven days already when are you going to call him back?¡±

    Zhao Yao turned and red at Dust Ball as he said, ¡°Shut up!¡± He continued saying to Zhao Xue, ¡°Matcha is a more mischievous cat, so I left him outside to hone his character and toughen him up. It¡¯s for his own good.¡±

    ¡°Oh,¡± Zhao Xue nodded absentmindedly and asked, ¡°Matcha is King George right?¡±

    ¡°Eh...¡± Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Previously when Zhao Xue turned into a cat, she had always remained on the Cat Ind right? But she could enter the extradimensional belly as well. Sigh, god knows how many things she knew in this ce?¡±

    Zhao Xue stared wide-eyed at Zhao Yao as if there were sparkles in her eyes. She asked, ¡°Do you know where Sister Guang Yu went?¡±

    Seeing the innocent look on Zhao Xue¡¯s face, Zhao Yaoughed and said, ¡°She got married. She went back to her hometown to get married. She has retired for good and will not being back ever again.¡±

    Zhao Yao patted Zhao Xue¡¯s shoulders and reassured her, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you have your brother here to protect you from now on. Given my abilities now, no one will be a match for me. Next time if anyone bullies you,e back and find me. I will stand up for you and make sure that person suffers.¡±

    Zhao Xue stared at Zhao Yao suspiciously, ¡°Really? She got married?¡±

    ¡°Of course, why would your brother lie to you,¡± Zhao Yao slung his hand over her shoulder and hugged her neck as they walked to the dimension portal leading to the Cat Ind. ¡°I have all the money and power now. If you want anything, just tell me. I will get it for you.¡±

    Zhao Xue said, ¡°I still want to go back to my university and study first. If I don¡¯t go back now, they might just expel me.¡±

    Hearing Zhao Xue¡¯s words, Zhao Yao quickly waved his hand and said, ¡°No no, it¡¯s better for you to stay on the Cat Ind during this period.¡±

    ¡°Why?¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°There¡¯s someone out there trying to get back at me. People like them love to target their opponent¡¯s parents and siblings. If you go out now, there¡¯s a high chance that you¡¯ll be attacked.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Zhao Xue said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you could protect me? That no one would be a match for you?¡±

    Zhao Yao coughed hard before he said, ¡°This is different. Though he can¡¯t beat me, he¡¯s very good at hiding and loves to y dirty tricks. He¡¯s always ambushing me rather than fighting me head on. So before I kill him, it¡¯s better for you, Dad, and Mum to stay here.¡±

    Zhao Yao continued to exin in detail the whole situation with the King of Death, shocking Zhao Xue.

    ¡°King of Death¡¯s powers are very troublesome. Although I can kill him now, many other people will die with him as well,¡± Zhao Yao patted his chest and said, ¡°But who am I? Am I someone who would do such a heinous thing?¡±

    Dust Ball shouted from afar, ¡°Zhao Yao! Bald Head and his gang took our goods but refused to pay! Should we kill them all off tonight?¡±

    ¡°She¡¯s kidding, why would we go and kill people?¡± Zhao Yao smiled at Zhao Xue before turning back to shout at Dust Ball, ¡°Shut your mouth now. Why are you screaming and shouting over such a small issue? Don¡¯t you know there¡¯s something called WeChat message? I said before that we should digitize our work! Digitize! Can¡¯t you understand humannguage?¡±

    Zhao Xue stared at Zhao Yao doubtfully, but she still agreed in the end. ¡°Okay, I get it. I can continue staying here for a while, but I can¡¯t stay here forever, it¡¯s not like I¡¯m one of your cats. I want to go out and shop, meet up with friends and watch movies. I haven¡¯t even graduated from university.¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and said, ¡°For your university, I will talk to your principal and request a leave of absence for you. As for your time here, don¡¯t worry, it won¡¯t be very long. By next month, at most by the month after that, I will be able to finish off the King of Death and you will be safe.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯ll take that long?¡± Zhao Xue sighed but she knew it was for her safety. She could only nod in resignation, ¡°Okay, I get it.¡±

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°If you want to shorten the time there are other ways as well. If you borrow Sphynx cat¡¯s powers to train every day, as long as you reach the same physical prowess as him and use your psychokinesis to borrow another supercat¡¯s power, I will be reassured enough to let you go.¡±

    Zhao Xue brightened up when she heard that. She thought of that time when Sphynx cat had beat up four ck-fire warriors and the immense power he unleashed. It was way better than Zhao Yao¡¯sziness. Zhao Xue was very keen of this idea, so she nodded and said, ¡°Okay, then I will go train with Sphynx cat first! I must be as strong as Sphynx cat.¡±

    ¡°Good luck!¡± Zhao Yao waved to the back of his sister as he thought, ¡°Phew, finally managed to distract her. She didn¡¯t suspect anything about ¡®Sister Guang Yu¡¯... right...¡±

    After settling everything with the House of Cats, Zhao Yao stood on the roof of the building that night, prepared to ept Book¡¯s punishment. To his surprise, he did not fail the mission.

    He had sessfully adopted one feline girl. 50*2 experience points awarded.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes brightened before he quickly regainedposure, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s Zhao Xue? Speaking of which, she can be said to be living off me now as well.¡± At the thought of this, Zhao Yao smirked in delight and epted the experience points with satisfaction.

    As he said that, he looked up to the sky and thought, ¡°But does my Book still have the power to issue lightning strikes?¡±

    ...

    In the same night, Matcha, who had fought his way around and got beaten up in the process, looked as if he had dropped some fur as he limped in pain by the roadside looking all sad and unhappy.

    ¡°I tried so hard to pretend to be the leader of the Cao Gang yet they all betrayed me just like that. What a bunch of unloyal cats.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s stomach growled out loud as he winced, ¡°I¡¯m so hungry.¡± He sprawled on the side of the streets and decided to rest for a while.

    At that moment, a young girl walked past hurriedly with a cat in her arms, looking lovingly at the cat while stroking the cat¡¯s head.

    At the sight of this Matcha sighed in envy as he said to himself, ¡°Other cats all have their owners to hug them. Now, I have be a stray that no one hugs.¡±

    The cat in the young girl¡¯s arm twitched his ears as he shouted at Matcha, ¡°Brother! Save me please! This woman is bringing me out to be neutered! Help!¡±

    ¡°That cat sounds like he¡¯s saying something? He sounds agitated. Well, he¡¯s probably excited, being hugged by someone,¡± Matcha sighed again, ¡°Why hasn¡¯t Zhao Yaoe to fetch me? Don¡¯t tell me he really wants to kick me out?¡± He took out his phone and opened his chat history with Zhao Yao, wanting to send him news about himself but he hesitated.

    Seeing the low battery on his phone, Matcha thought, ¡°Forget it. I should just charge my phone first.¡±

    Outside Xiaoyu¡¯s house, Matcha wriggled and crawled up onto the windowsill and peeked through the curtains to check the room. He saw Xiaoyu lying on the sofa in the living room caressing Fish Ball¡¯s back with her leg.

    ¡°Even Fish Ball has someone to dote on him,¡± Matcha thought about the pee he had held in on the school campus today, ¡°Forget it, since Xiaoyu is inside, I won¡¯t disturb their happy moment.¡±

    Inside the house, Fish Ball carefully sent a voice message saying, ¡°Xiaoyu, could you not use me as a leg rest, you¡¯re a little heavy.¡±

    ¡°Are you saying I¡¯m fat?!¡±

    ¡°No, Xiaoyu, you are the cutest, prettiest, and most attractive person ever,¡± Fish Ball said, ¡°But could you please use your hand to stroke me instead of using your leg.¡±

    ¡°No, you were drenched in pee and that traumatized me. I only dare to use my leg to touch you now. I don¡¯t dare to touch you with my hands anymore.¡±

    The husky barked twice as he gloated over Fish Ball¡¯s misfortune.

    Xiaoyu pointed to the husky and chided, ¡°You still have the cheek to bark? You just shit wherever you like outside, then you still sit on it and cover your butt in shit. Starting from today, you are not allowed to sit on the floor at home with your butt for one whole week. Do you understand?¡±

    Noodle cried sadly, ¡°How can you me me for this. When I was shitting halfway the wall suddenly copsed, I was so scared that my legs gave way.¡±

    Matcha walked alone on the cold hard streets as he thought about what he should do next.

    ¡°Seriously, isn¡¯t it just because I ate a slice of Elizabeth¡¯s cake? This Zhao Yao, he¡¯s just biased towards Elizabeth and the rest. What¡¯s the big deal with ragdoll cats?¡±

    Images of the ragdoll cats Elizabeth, Catherine and Diana subconsciously appeared in his mind.

    Next morning, in the extradimensional belly, Zhao Yao yawned as he woke up and pushed himself up from the sofa.

    He got angry when he saw the cat fur on his clothes. ¡°Who sneaked onto my bedst night.¡±

    Roly Poly, who was beside the sofa, looked up and said sleepily, ¡°Zhao Yao, this is the fur from Bald Head and his gang. Didn¡¯t you bring Dust Ball along to kill them, scaring them so much that their fur fell all over the ce.¡±

    ¡°Oh right, I almost forgot,¡± Zhao Yao dusted the fur off his clothes as he said, ¡°What about breakfast?¡±

    Lang Gou walked over with his chest puffed up in pride as he brought over a bowl of century egg porridge with minced meat and said, ¡°Boss, here¡¯s your breakfast.¡±

    Zhao Yao took it and ate a huge mouthful. His eyes widened as he said, ¡°Midnight¡¯s cooking has improved. But having porridge every time is a little boring. Ask him to experiment with other dishes. I want to eat marinated chicken feet, shumai, and Xiaolongbao.¡±

    ¡°D*mn salted fish, you should just choke to death! Are these dishes that can be easily made simply by experimenting with them?¡± Lang Gou cursed silently as he replied with a polite smile, ¡°No problem Boss, I will ask Midnight to do that today.¡±

    After breakfast, Zhao Yao stood up and stretched his waist as he thought expectantly, ¡°Tonight I will be able to calcte the rewards from this month¡¯s cat caf¨¦ earnings as well as those from the catmint market share rates. Not sure how much of the catmint market share we dominate, I will just draw a tenbo first then.¡±

    As he thought, Zhao Yao walked over to the Garfield cat, Gaia, and asked curiously, ¡°How is it? Have you reached the points for this level?¡±

    Gaia replied sluggishly, ¡°No... Not yet.¡±

    ¡°This can¡¯t go on Gaia, your game-boosting efficacy is too low.¡±

    Gaia¡¯s face sank as he said, ¡°Zhao Yao, give me more money, please. You can just buy monthly game credit. If not, it¡¯s too difficult for me to y well.¡±

    ¡°If I give you money for boosting the game I might as well just y the game myself right? Don¡¯t start thinking of using money to solve problems at such a young age.¡± Zhao Yao stroked Gaia¡¯s head and consoled him, ¡°Continue pressing, when you reach that level I will give you a death-exemption gold te.¡±

    Gaia rolled his eyes while nodding, ¡°You¡¯re so nice to me, Zhao Yao.¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his head as he thought, ¡°It¡¯s all because I want to treat you of your inte addiction. I¡¯ll let you boost the game for three months. Let¡¯s see if you still feel like ying this game afterwards.¡±

    After greeting Gaia, Elizabeth had already trotted over to him with ab in her mouth, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, help meb my fur. It got tangled.¡±

    Zhao Yao squatted down and took theb. He brushed Elizabeth¡¯s fur as he asked, ¡°Lizzie ah, there are no problems with the live stream right.¡±

    Elizabeth enjoyed thebing very much as she replied, ¡°There¡¯s no problem, the live stream¡¯s poprity is rising steadily. I just don¡¯t know how photos of me leaked online, I suspect someone here secretly took photos of me.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Zhao Yao frowned, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will ask Airne to send the royal cat guards to investigate and catch this cat and skin him alive.¡±

    Roly Poly was just about to get up for breakfast when he heard their conversation. His fat body trembled as he thought, ¡°Looks like it¡¯s time to delete the WeChat chat group and cut off all traces to ensure my safety. Next time I will just rent an overseas server to start a discussion forum that gives out free bonuses and sell advertisements to grow my business.¡±

    Once he was donebing Elizabeth¡¯s fur, the whole family of ragdoll cats, Catherine, Diana, and Caesar all lined up in front of him, waiting for their turn with ab in their mouth.

    Zhao Yao was exasperated. ¡°Why don¡¯t you guys ask Midnight and the rest tob your fur for you.¡±

    ¡°Their so rough with their hands, my fur always drops when theyb for me,¡± Catherine said, ¡°Zhao Yao you¡¯re better than they are atbing fur.¡±

    Afterbing the ragdoll cats, Zhao Yao walked to the training arena. Sphynx cat was there with Zhao Xue who struggled to move her body under a pressure of 10 times the ordinary force. ¡°This is so hard but there¡¯s no way I can cheat my way out of this so I just have to train hard.¡±

    ¡°Boss...¡±

    At that moment, Bai Quan suddenly appeared behind Zhao Yao, scaring Zhao Yao so much that he turned in an instant and said warily, ¡°What are you doing Bai Quan? Why didn¡¯t you make a sound when you were walking behind me? What a scare...¡±

    Bai Quan said exasperatedly, ¡°Boss,e out and take a look. We have a situation outside the caf¨¦.¡±

    Zhao Yao was puzzled, ¡°What situation? Can¡¯t you handle it?¡±

    Bai Quan shrugged, ¡°I think you should just go and take a look.¡±

    Zhao Yao brushed his teeth and washed up before walking out of the dimension portal to the cat caf¨¦. He walked out of the door of the cat caf¨¦ and saw the strange sight that Bai Quan had mentioned to him.

    Across the street, a cat was lying on the cement ground and staring at the cat caf¨¦.

    This cat was quite unique. Its whole body was covered in ayer of long white fur, except its face and limbs, which revealed only short stubbles of orange fur.

    Across the street, Matchay expressionless on the cement ground and stared deadpan at the cat caf¨¦. His body was covered in white fur, with a long strip of ck fur pasted on top of his eyes. His tail was even wrapped with some goat fur shirt sleeve he had picked up somewhere from the streets.

    He thought to himself, ¡°I spent the whole night preparing this get-up, plucking my fur everywhere and it¡¯s finally done. I should look like Elizabeth now. Quick,e and hug me, Zhao Yao.¡±

    Zhao Yao saw Matcha¡¯s get-up and immediately turned away with goosebumps erupting all over his body.

    Matcha was surprised, ¡°Is he touched? With the same looks, I would definitely fare much betterpared to Elizabeth.¡±

    However, Zhao Yao opened the door of the cat caf¨¦ and went in without looking at Matcha again as if he never noticed him.

    Bai Quan asked, ¡°What should we do?¡±

    Zhao Yao waved him off, ¡°Don¡¯t care about him, the time¡¯s not up yet.¡±

    On the other hand, Matchay on the cement ground confused. ¡°What happened, doesn¡¯t Zhao Yao like the look of a ragdoll cat? Why is he not touched at all by this costume?¡±

    ¡°Eh? What animal is this?¡± A little boy ran over and stared at Matcha curiously as he stretched out his hand to touch him.

    Matcha snarled as he turned away, scaring the little boy who turned on his heels and ran.

    ¡°It¡¯s a monster!!¡±

    Matcha thought to himself, ¡°He doesn¡¯t like ragdoll cats with long fur? Right, I remember Zhao Yao would always shave at night, does that mean...¡±

    Zhao Yao did not look at Matcha again. He made himself a cup of coffee and sat at his usual spot to surf the Inte. After a while, he looked towards where Matcha was and was surprised, ¡°He left?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought Matcha had walked off and concentrated on yingputer games and reading the news. As he read the news, he thought ¡°Oh? Sunspots are increasing recently?¡± Even then, he would nce towards the street sometimes to see if Matcha had returned to his spot.

    After two hours, Zhao Yao finished his coffee and when he nced at the street again, he spat out his coffee in shock.

    He saw a bald Matcha with only fur left on his head lying on the ground and staring at the cat caf¨¦.

    Matcha thought, ¡°Zhao Yao shaves every day. Since he loves shaving so much, he will be touched when he sees my clean, shaven look right? Quick,e hug me right now.¡±

    Zhao Yao took one look at him before lowering his head and taking out a tissue to clean up the spilled coffee on the table. ¡°This idiot is a goner. Is it because I fed him expired kitten cream cake when I was young that he wasn¡¯t able to develop properly?¡±

    Matcha looked at Zhao Yao who had no reaction to his performance at all. After 10 minutes, he pulled open the zipper on his belly and crawled out from the toy skin.

    It turned out that he had not shaved his fur. He had just crawled into a headless stuffed animal, from far it looked like he had no fur.

    ¡°Do I really have to shave and then Zhao Yao will be happy?¡± Matcha thought to himself. ¡°Oh my, how can I be so unlucky.¡±

    After Zhao Yao saw that Matcha left, he sighed, ¡°If this guy still hasn¡¯t grown up then I can only take him back and rear him like a prince. Haizz, this silly cat.¡±

    After an hour, when Zhao Yao looked across the street again, he almost wanted to hit his face.

    Matcha had tied a few branches on himself andin on the floor. He stared at the cat caf¨¦ and thought, ¡°This is called bondage contrition. I am being so sincere... How can Zhao Yao not ept me?¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head and pulled the curtains. He did not want to see Matcha anymore.

    Seeing this Matcha mmed his paws on the ground. ¡°He won¡¯t even forgive me after this? Must I live stream myself eating poop? Don¡¯t be too extreme!¡±

    Matcha thought about it and walked off in another direction. His eyes were glistening with intelligence.

    ¡°Well, I got thrown out because I ate Elizabeth¡¯s cake. Then does it mean that...¡± Matcha was thinking about it as he disappeared off the end of the street.

    ...

    That night, Zhao Yao was lying on the sofa and strolling through the cat web to see if there was anything interesting happening while he waited for his end of month settlement.

    Suddenly, a headline caught his attention. ¡°Maine, USA has arge power shortage?¡± Zhao Yao remembered that the meteoritesnded in Maine. One of his missions was to collect the meteorites, increase the skill points of the supercats, and activate the evolution module. Is the power shortage rted to the meteorites?¡±

    Zhao Yao had collected 8% of the meteorite fragments in Japan and since he returned to China, his collection had not increased. One reason was that he was too busy dealing with the God of Death, the other was because most of the meteorite fragments were in the USA.

    ¡°With USA¡¯s power system, it should be rare for suchrge power shortages to happen. Has it really got to do with the research on the meteorites? Did the Americans make any discovery again?¡±

    Zhao Yao was not the only who had thought of this. There were many IDs on the Cat web who were guessing that the power shortage had something to do with the meteorite.

    Some said it was a signal from the aliens. Some said that the aliens were here. Others imed it was an alien virus and some even said that the meteorites had been absorbed by a cat. There were many rumors spreading. Zhao Yao read them and felt that they were ridiculous.

    However, his collection of meteorites determined if hepleted the mission, added a few more skill points and activated the Book¡¯s evolution module. Zhao Yao thought about it and called Uncle Ho to ask about the situation.

    Uncle Ho sounded very tired when he answered, ¡°What is it?¡±

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°The incident in Maine in the US, the power shortage, is it rted to the meteorites?¡±

    ¡°We don¡¯t know yet.¡± Uncle Ho sighed and said, ¡°However the situation is quite bad. All our spies do not have any news. The American government has sealed all the relevant information and several areas in Maine have instituted martialw. They even called back overseas apostles...¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°It¡¯s that serious?¡±

    ¡°In this incident, no news is the biggest news.¡± Uncle Ho sighed, ¡°It is a sign, the Americans must have made significant progress on the meteorites.¡±

    Upon hearing this, Zhao Yao frowned. Now the Book¡¯s main functions were upgrading of the cats, the diamond hall and the lucky draw. The evolution module was the next function to be activated. If something went wrong with the meteorites, wouldn¡¯t it mean that he could no longer activate that function?

    Thinking of this, Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Uncle Ho, you guys have been collecting information about the meteorites right?¡±

    Uncle Ho was surprised. ¡°You are interested in the meteorite fragments too? Oh, those meteorite fragments can make powers stronger. It is normal that you are interested in it.¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed and said, ¡°If there is any news of the appearance of the meteorite fragments, remember to tell me.¡±

    After putting down his phone, Zhao Yao knew that Uncle Ho did not trust himpletely and that if they had news about the meteorite fragments, they would not inform him. He had to find a solution himself.

    ¡°I shall continue to pay attention to news on the cat web.¡± Zhao Yao thought about it. ¡°I can only take note of relevant news about the meteorite fragments and prepare for the battle with God of Death at the same time. After I kill the God of Death, I can concentrate on collecting the meteorite fragments.¡±

    Then, Zhao Yao strolled through the web and until midnight for the settlements to finallye in.

    First, he looked at the ie of the cat caf¨¦. After excluding the electricity bills, cat food, toilet materials, drinks, and other costs, he still had 1 125 495 dors left. He was awarded 2200 experience points for it. As he imed the experience points, he started next month¡¯s mission.

    Zhao Yao imed the experience points and after the double experience points card, he had 2200*2 experience points. He looked at the panel.

    Book: Level 6 (46242/20000)

    Matcha: Level 8 (3910/50000)

    Elizabeth: Level 8 (3000/50000)

    Dust Ball: Level 8 (25755/50000)

    Ares: Level 7 (3900/20000)

    Lucifer: Level 6 (7800/10000)

    Sphynx Cat: Level 6 (5200/10000)

    Zhao Yao held his chin and thought about it. ¡°The experience points that the cat caf¨¦ gets are much lesser than what it needs to level up. Furthermore, Uncle Ho and Old man Zhuang contributed to a lot of its revenue. It is about time for the cat caf¨¦ to expand.

    Thinking of the troubles expanding the cat caf¨¦ would bring, Zhao Yao frowned. Other than the cat caf¨¦, he had to expand the catmint market,plete missions, take care of cats, give Elizabeth rewards, and counsel the cats at home. He was really too busy.

    ¡°Forget it. I will hand the expansion of the cat caf¨¦ over to Bai Quan. I will ask him to buy the shops beside the cat caf¨¦.¡±

    He looked at the experience points of the supercats. Although he had enough experience points to level up Ares, Lucifer, and Sphynx cat, but he didn¡¯t. He wanted to umte the points to level up Elizabeth and kill the God of Death.

    Taking into ount that he had to leave 20000 experience points to level up the Book and 60000 or 70000 experience points to gain Sphynx cat¡¯s strength. He still needed about 30000 experience points. Zhao Yao had toplete a few more missions to get them.

    He resisted the urge to level up and looked at the other settlement. The percentage of catmint market they had taken over.

    This was the month¡¯s new mission. From the percentage of catmint market they dominated, every 1% would give him a chance at the lucky draw.

    However, after Zhao Yao looked at the settlement, he frowned.

 Chapter 663: Lucky draw and apology

    <h4>Chapter 663: Lucky draw and apology</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    ¡°Only 11%? How can this be?¡± Zhao Yao pondered, ¡°I have taken over most of the Cat King¡¯s areas and there are so many cats who ordered Dust Ball Catmint online.

    Then Zhao Yao realized, ¡°Unless normal cats¡¯ catmint markets are also included?¡±

    Zhao Yao took a deep breath and said, ¡°Looks like after dominating the supercat catmint market, I have to dominate the normal cats¡¯ catmint market.¡±

    ¡°Aye, this is so troublesome. I feel like I don¡¯t have enough money for it. ¡°Zhao Yao thought about it. ¡°Looks like it is time to make more money.¡±

    Zhao Yao concluded that from now on, other thanpleting missions, he had to let Bai Quan expand the cat caf¨¦ and he had to think of ways to dominate more catmint markets so that he could get better items from the lucky draw.

    Then, he had to umte experience points, level up Elizabeth, and kill God of Death.

    After, killing the God of Death, he could concentrate on collecting meteorite fragments and activating the evolution module.

    ¡°Very good. Simple and clear. The n is all in my head.¡± After summarizing, Zhao Yao rubbed his palms and decided to draw.

    Now Dust Ball Catmint dominated 11% of the market. This meant that Zhao Yao had 11 chances at the lucky draw.

    When he was about to draw, he suddenly thought of something and walked over to the catmint field, picked up Red Packet and grabbed him.

    Zhao Yao rubbed his hands on Red Packet, hugged him and started the lucky draw.

    He looked at the things he obtained from the lucky draw and was frustrated. ¡°Who said 10 consecutive tries would produce miracles!¡± He felt like luck wasn¡¯t on his side today. He did not get any new equipment. Zhao Yao thought of hisst try and decided to pause for a while before trying.

    ¡°Screw this. Why couldn¡¯t they have a cash top up? I would draw till I¡¯m bankrupt.¡±

    Zhao Yao hesitated for a while and decided to use thest draw.

    Instantly new equipment appeared on his panel¨C Titanium Dog Eye.

    From this lucky draw, he had obtained 220 experience points, 2 fragments of the Cat Prince Costume, 20 Spicy Cat Strips, and a Titanium Dog Eye.

    Including what he had drawn thest time, in total, he had 4 fragments of the Cat Prince Costume, 35 Spicy Cat Strips, a Paralysis Ring, and a Titanium Dog Eye.

    ¡°Titanium Dog Eye...¡± Zhao Yao was pretty speechless. ¡°What is this? Why do I feel like it is very unreliable.¡±

    ¡°Huh? The introduction...¡±

    ...

    The next morning, when Zhao Yao opened the cat caf¨¦, he found a small cake in front of the cat caf¨¦.

    ¡°What?¡± Zhao Yao bent down and picked up the cake. On the cake was a crooked ¡°Sorry¡±, which seemed drawn on by ws. There was also a candle on it.

    Zhao Yao looked at the cake in surprise before he overheard a conversation.

    ¡°It is so weird, this morning a Scottish Fold came by and ced a cake in front of the cat caf¨¦¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and looked up. An orange cat¡¯s tail was swishing outside in the bush from where the voices came.

    Then, he heard Matcha reply in a high-pitch voice. ¡°What? So weird? A cat sent the cake? A rare Scottish Fold to boot?¡±

    In the greenbelt, Matcha changed his voice deliberately and lowered his voice. ¡°Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. The Scottish Fold looked weak, it was like he had worked through the night, finally bought a cake and walked another 10 kilometers just to ce it in front of the cat caf¨¦.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Matcha spoke in a high pitch voice again. ¡°So the Scottish Fold looked like he worked through the night, bought a cake and walked another 10 kilometers just to ce it in front of the cat caf¨¦? What a cool Scottish Fold.¡±

    After speaking Matcha waited for a while and wondered, ¡°Why is there no reaction? It can¡¯t be that Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t tell the cake was from me? Damn it, I should have carved my name on it.¡±

    The orange cat stretched his head out cautiously from the greenbelt and when he saw that Zhao Yao was looking in his direction, he immediately retreated back. ¡°That was so close. If not for my Time Freeze, I would have been discovered. However, why hasn¡¯t he reacted?¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao looked at the cake and pursed his lips. The cake looked more and more familiar, it felt like he saw it yesterday. He opened WeChat and opened Xiaoyu¡¯s posts. s, he saw the same cake with the caption. ¡°It¡¯s my birthday again. I feel like my body has grown sexier too.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and remembered that Xiaoyu wanted to beat Matcha up for the urine incident at the feline girls base. It can¡¯t be that she would give her birthday cake to Matcha.

    ¡°Did this silly cat steal the cake?¡± Zhao Yao touched his chin and thought, ¡°Although stealing Xiaoyu¡¯s cake is very interesting; this means that he still has not grown up. He is still swindling.¡±

    Hence, Zhao Yao called Xiaoyu.

    Xiaoyu. ¡°Hey, Yao, why did you call me today? Do you miss me? Do you want toe over this weekend and treat me to a meal?¡±

    Zhao Yao pursed his lips. ¡°Stupid kid¡±, he thought. ¡°I want to ask something regarding your birthday cake...¡±

    Xiaoyuughed and said, ¡°Oh, it is about the cake? How is it? Does it taste good?¡±

    Zhao Yao raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, ¡°You know that Matcha took it?¡±

    Xiaoyuughed again and said, ¡°Matcha earned it. He worked for me yesterday, The cake is his pay. He said he was going to give it to you.¡±

    When Zhao Yao heard that he was stunned. ¡°Work? What can he do?¡±

    ¡°He helped me copy my homework. High-school homework is too easy... I am toozy to do it.¡± Xiaoyu exined, ¡°He is much faster than Fish Ball and the rest. I have decided to ask him to copy my homework more often. Hello? Hello?¡± Xiaoyu looked at the phone andined, ¡°Yao is getting more impolite. How can he hang up on his aunt?¡±

    Meanwhile, Matcha was lying in the greenbelt and frowning. ¡°Why hasn¡¯t he gotten it yet? Is it because he is too old? That¡¯s why he isn¡¯t getting my hints? Does he expect me to go in front of him and tell him the cake is from me?¡±

    Just as Matcha was thinking about it, a hand stroked Matcha on his head and picked him up.

    Looking at Zhao Yao who finally picked him up, Matcha rubbed against Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao. You finally hugged me.¡±

    Zhao Yao stroke Matcha¡¯s head and smiled. ¡°Good job.¡±

    Matcha look at Zhao Yao with his eyes glistening. ¡°Zhao Yao, can I go home?¡±

    ¡°Yes, of course, you can.¡± Zhao Yao carried Matcha back to the cat caf¨¦.

    Behind the Dimension Portal, Lightning yawned, ¡°So it ended? I feel a bit depressed. I won¡¯t get to watch Matcha live stream anymore.¡±

    Elizabeth said faintly. ¡°Thisd was smart for once. He finally learned from his mistakes.¡±

    Dust Ball controlled the Dimension Portal to return and said, ¡°It has finally ended. I was so bored with Matcha.¡±

    A few minutester, Zhao Yao looked at the mission panel and suddenly realized that Matcha had to be a stray for seven days, there was still half a day left.

    The door of the cat caf¨¦ opened, Matcha carried a new yellow bag and was ced on the floor again while the door mmed shut.

    Matcha was speechless and he threw the bag onto the floor in anger. ¡°Are you kidding me? I still have half a day?¡±

    Then, his phone vibrated and Matcha saw the money that Zhao Yao had transferred. Heughed and ran off happily.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go to Cat Street and y.¡±

    Meanwhile, Xiaoyu was in the corridor. After she hung up the phone, she returned to the ssroom, she was called to the teacher¡¯s office.

    ¡°Xiaoyu, why did you do it?¡±

    Xiaoyu was confused.

    The teacher threw the homework in front of her and shouted, ¡°Look at it yourself!¡±

    Xiaoyu opened her homework and saw many red crosses. Except for the first three questions, the fourth question¡¯s answers were copied onto question five. Question five¡¯s answers were copied on question six. Subsequently, all the answers were wrong.

    The teacher said coldly. ¡°You copied the homework, right? Not only did you copy, but you copied wrong. Stay back after school today to do your work.¡±

    Xiaoyu clenched her fist and raged in her mind. ¡°Matcha! I am going to kill you!¡±

    Zhao Yao took Matcha back after half a day and finally obtained the 500*2 experience points.

    Then, he discussed with Bai Quan about the operations of the cat caf¨¦. He handed the expansion of the cat caf¨¦ over to Bai Quan. His only request was to make as much profit as possible.

    After the discussion, Bai Quan said, ¡°Boss, if we want to expand, it will require a lot of money. The two shops beside us, their contracts are not up yet. Furthermore, their business is quite good. If we want them to leave, we may have to spend a lot...¡±

    ¡°Money is not the issue.¡± Zhao Yao shook his head and said with confidence. ¡°I have decided to rob, no, look for investments.¡±

    Bai Quan hesitated, ¡°Boss, you said you were going to rob...¡±

    ¡°I said look for investments.¡± Zhao Yao shouted, ¡°How can I steal? Our supercat industry is an industry with great potential. Furthermore, with investment guarantees like me, how can there be no investments?¡±

    Bai Quan hesitated, ¡°If it is a cat caf¨¦, I don¡¯t think there will be many people who are willing to invest.¡±

    ¡°Who told you we will be a normal cat caf¨¦?¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°Our goal is to turn the entire mall into our cat caf¨¦. By then, we would not only serve normal people but also apostles and supercats. Once the customerse in, there will be hundreds of cats for them to choose from.

    Young Lolita cats, Mature Garfield cats, ck British Shorthair, from the cheapest orange cats to the most expensive Ragdoll cats. We will have every cat they want.

    Furthermore, all the cats won¡¯t scratch or bite. It doesn¡¯t matter if they stroke them, hug them, kiss them or make them wear bells, cors and socks, the cats will fulfill all their wishes.

    It is a one-stop service. If they are unsatisfied with the cats, they can change the one they have at any time. Once we be the biggest cat entertainment center, not only ordinary humans would want toe. Apostles and supercats wille every day too. This business covers three consumer groups. That means a huge profit.¡±

    ¡°O... Okay then.¡± Bai Quan wiped the non-existence sweat on his forehead and said, ¡°Then Boss, when are you going to transfer me the money?¡±

    ¡°I will transfer you 10 million tomorrow. I will transfer you the rest when I get investments.¡± Zhao Yao had several hundred million in his bank. However, dominating the catmint market was very important too. He couldn¡¯t transfer Bai Quan all the money.

    Zhao Yao nned to pay 10 million out of his own pocket first, then try and pull in some investments to expand the cat caf¨¦ and catmint market. It was so that he would get more experience points from every month¡¯s settlement and increase his chances at the lucky draw to improve his capabilities.

    After addressing all of that, Zhao Yao returned to the Extradimensional Belly and surfed the. He needed to find suitable investors.

    ¡°Old Wang, Old Ma, Old Ma?¡± Zhao Yao thought to himself. ¡°But they are all not convenient. Who should I get the money from?¡±

    Roly Poly jumped onto Zhao Yao¡¯s leg and asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, who are we going to rob?¡±

    ¡°Not rob. We are trying to get investments.¡± Zhao Yao patted Roly Poly on the head and said, ¡°Don¡¯t keep your robber habits from the past. To expand, to go big, we have to operate ording to business rules. If we think about robbing every day, how are we going to improve our business?¡±

    Roly Poly nodded but he deep inside he did not agree.

    Zhao Yao looked at Roly Poly and remembered the Titanium Dog Eye he had drawn the day before.

    ¡°Speaking of that, can I use the Titanium Dog Eye on Roly Poly?¡±

    He recalled the introduction of the Titanium Dog Eye.

    Titanium Dog Eye¨C supercat equipment, with the titanium dog eye a supercat will increase its stuck-up abilities to 3000%

    ¡°What is the stuck-up ability?¡± The Titanium Dog Eye¡¯s introduction was unclear like the Paralysis Ring. Zhao Yao was thinking that he had to try it to figure out. ¡°Anyways Roly Poly¡¯s abilities are not improving and I can¡¯t sign the contract with him yet. Why not give him the equipment to improve his abilities?¡±

    He took out the eye that looked like a diamond from the panel and ced it in front of Roly Poly. ¡°Roly Poly do you like it?¡±

    Roly Poly saw the diamond-like eye, he was shocked at first then he was overjoyed. ¡°Really? Zhao Yao is giving me a diamond? Didn¡¯t he just get Matcha back? I knew it. He dotes on me more than Matcha.¡±

    Roly Poly nodded his head violently. ¡°I like it. Zhao Yao as long as it is from you, I like it.¡±

    Zhao Yao asked again, ¡°Are you sure you want this?¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes.¡± Roly Poly nodded.

    ¡°Is it?¡±

    ¡°Then I will give it to you.¡±

    ¡°Remember that you asked for it, I didn¡¯t force you.¡±

    After multiple confirmations, Zhao Yao stuffed the Titanium Dog Eye in Roly Poly¡¯s eyes.

    That moment, the Titanium Dog Eye merged with Roly Poly¡¯s eyeball. Roly Poly felt a chill and something went into his eye.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, what happened? Why did the diamond go into my eye?¡± Roly Poly looked at Zhao Yao panicked.

    Only to see Zhao Yao frown and looked at Roly Poly. ¡°Roly Poly, what was that? You look down on me?¡±

    ¡°What? No?¡± Roly Poly looked at Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao was angered and pped Roly Poly on the head. ¡°No? Are you not looking down on me because I amzy and I want to seed without working hard?¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Roly Poly was shocked. ¡°How did Zhao Yao know?¡±

    When Roly Poly saw that Zhao Yao was angry, Roly Poly exined, ¡°I didn¡¯t mean it like that. I have always respected you and I admire what you have done till this day.

    ¡°Really?¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes.¡± Roly Poly open his eyes and tried his best to look kind and innocence. ¡°Look at my eyes. Look at how sincere I am.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked into his eyes and he immediately felt that Roly Poly looked at him with disgust, disdain and disregard. He felt that he condescendingly look down on him from the Titanium Dog Eye.

    ¡°You stupid fat cat!¡± Zhao Yao grabbed onto Roly Poly¡¯s head and pressed hard. ¡°Roly Poly, you are getting a big head, spiritually and physically. I should chase you out like Matcha so that you will grow up.¡±

    As he spoke, Zhao Yao picked Roly Poly up and walked towards the Dimension Portal.

    ¡°No, Zhao Yao!¡± Roly Poly pleaded, ¡°I am so loyal to you. If you throw me out, it is like taking my life.¡±

    Because Roly Poly was picked up by Zhao Yao, he nced towards the supercats at the side.

    Uncle Egg was the first to stand up, his fur was standing and electric sparks flew around. ¡°Roly Poly, you think that I am always fooling around? That I am just wasting my life away?¡±

    Ares used the Deflective Field to trap Roly Poly as he shouted, ¡°You fat cat, you think I am afraid of Sphynx cat? You think that I am useless?¡±

    Zhao Yao, who couldn¡¯t see Roly Poly¡¯s eyes anymore, suddenly realized, ¡°Are these the effects of the Titanium Dog Eye? It has such strong despicable powers.¡±

    Then, Zhao Yao saw more and more supercats gather around them. They were enraged under the gaze of the dog eye. Zhao Yao covered Roly Poly¡¯s eye immediately and walked away.

    Without the dog eye, the supercats calmed down, looked at each other in confusion, and walked away.

    Roly Poly whose eyes were covered, also realized. ¡°Zhao Yao, what did you do? What is wrong with me?¡±

    ¡°It is a good thing.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°I have given you divine equipment.¡±

    Roly Poly cried, ¡°Can I not have it anymore? Give it to someone else.¡±

    ¡°Currently, I do not know how to take it out. You can try it first.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°Furthermore, with this, it is like having a second power. A cat with two powers, you turn from R card straight to SR.¡±

    Roly Poly was speechless, ¡°I am afraid that I will be beaten to death.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°No, no. Let¡¯s figure out how to use this. We should be able to turn it off.¡±

    Roly Poly asked, ¡°How are we going to turn it off? I can¡¯t feel anything unusual.¡±

    Zhao Yao rubbed his chin and said, ¡°Why not try closing your eyes?¡±

    Roly Poly did not believe him. ¡°Are you sure?¡±

    Roly Poly did not know that the thing Zhao Yao had given him was a Titanium Dog Eye. Thus, it was normal that he did not believe this method. However, Zhao Yao insisted and Roly Poly closed his eyes as Zhao Yao turned him around.

    Roly Poly who was turned around grabbed onto his head as he was afraid to be beaten up.

    After a while, he realized that Zhao Yao had not beaten him. Roly Poly heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°So all I have to do is close my eyes? But this means I can¡¯t see anything.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought to himself. ¡°There is only one Titanium Dog Eye, I remember I ced it into Roly Poly¡¯s right eye.¡± Hence, he told Roly Poly. ¡°Open your left eye and see if it works.¡±

    Roly Poly turned and tried. He replied, ¡°I can¡¯t open only one eye.¡±

    Zhao Yao walked to the supercats cab and found an eye mask for Roly Poly.

    When he faced Roly Poly again, Zhao Yao nodded his head and said, ¡°As long as we don¡¯t see your right eye, it is fine.¡±

    Roly Poly was speechless, ¡°This means I can only see with one eye now?¡±

    ¡°It is not like you can¡¯t see. It is just an eye mask.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°You just have to wear an eye mask normally and you have one extra strong power. How many cats wait for such a good opportunity to happen to them.¡±

    Roly Poly was cursing in his heart. ¡°How is this a strong power?¡±

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°Now, we just have to see what your dog eye can do. However, I can¡¯t be the test subject. Let¡¯s find a weaker cat.¡±

    After a few minutes, Zhao Yao brought Sphynx cat and Roly Poly to a house on the Cat Ind. Roly Poly pointed at Sphynx cat and started screaming, ¡°Zhao Yao! This is a weaker cat? I am going to die!¡±

    ¡°No, it¡¯s okay.¡± Zhao Yaoforted Roly Poly. ¡°Sphynx just looks fierce, he does not have strong attacking powers.¡±

    ¡°Who are you lying to!¡± Roly Poly pointed at all the muscles on Sphynx cat and shouted, ¡°These are not strong attacking powers?¡±

    Sphynx cat who was being pointed at gently pushed the door open and the entire door crumbled into pieces. Sphynx cat apologized, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I think I used too much strength.¡±

    Zhao Yao continued tofort Roly Poly. ¡°It¡¯s okay, I am here. Nothing will happen to you. Sphynx¡¯s five sense are extremely sensitive and he had a strong will. We can try out the limits of your eyes.¡±

    Roly Poly was shivering and his fur was dropping. Suddenly, he shrieked, turned invisible and ran out. However, he was caught by Zhao Yao. Soon, there were screams and howlsing from the house.

    After several experiments, Zhao Yao understood the details of how to use the dog eye.

    First, when Roly Poly looked at someone, the person felt like they were being looked down upon. If they looked at each other, Sphynx felt an rming amount of hatred and evil intentions. In fact, he could hear Roly Poly¡¯s imaginary voice scolding him.

    The way to stop it was also very simple. Vision has to be blocked.

    Next was testing the effects of the Dog Eye when Roly Poly was invisible.

    Sphynx cat¡¯s senses were too sensitive so he knew beforehand that Roly Poly was looking at him. Hence, Zhao Yao decided to carry Roly Poly and find an unknowing target while they were invisible.

    They returned to the Extradimensional Belly. The invisible Zhao Yao uncovered Roly Poly¡¯s eye mask.

    Rice Cake and Gaia who were gaming suddenly felt infinite disdain looking at them. Gaia turned her head and looked at Rice Cake who was beside her. ¡°Rice Cake, are you looking down on me? You think that all I know is gaming? I am a useless cat? Let me tell you, I hate people who look down on my gaming!¡±

    Rice Cake turned over and yelled, ¡°What kind of a look was that? You¡¯re looking down on me? You think I am short? Let me tell you, I hate others calling me short! I will jump up and disfigure you!¡±

    Seeing that Rice Cake and Gaia almost got into a fight, Zhao Yao immediately turned Roly Poly¡¯s line of sight towards Lightning.

    Lightning¡¯s body began to shiver instantly. He felt strong humiliation bubbling from the bottom of his heart. As soon as he looked up, he saw Cannon beside him and said angrily, ¡°Stupid cat! What are you looking at? You say I¡¯m being cuckolded? I will kill you!¡± Then, he attacked.

    The two cats rolled together. Cannon looked at Lightning with annoyance: ¡°What¡¯s with that look? Do you think I¡¯m not tough? I can be tough enough to kill you!¡±

    The two cats were rolling while mming each other with their ws and bumped into Fish Ball.

    Fish Ball saw the look from the two cats and only felt that their burning looks were overwhelmingly contemptuous. They seemed to prate his fur and pierce through his heart. ¡°Which one of you said my ability is trash?¡± Lights shot out from his body. He was then hit by Lightning and Canon and fell to the ground.

    Looking at the three cats who fought more and more fiercely, Zhao Yao immediately covered Roly Poly¡¯s eyes and thought: ¡°Once he¡¯s invisible, the object of hatred is directly transferred to the surroundings?¡±

    Roly Poly was excited with what he saw: ¡°Good treasure, it¡¯s a good treasure.¡±

    Just as he thought about killing Matcha with his dog eye and driving away Elizabeth, so that he could have Zhao Yao and the whole Cat Nation to himself, Zhao Yao had already patted Roly Poly¡¯s eye mask and said: ¡°Roly Poly, the power in your eyes is too strong. You are not to break the seal and use it casually without my permission.¡±

    Roly Poly instantly felt deted: ¡°Alright.¡±

    After experimenting with the Titanium Dog Eye, Zhao Yao was very satisfied. At this moment, his phone vibrated with news from Bai Quan.

    ¡°What?¡± Zhao Yao looked at it, and frowned. It was not easy to expand the cat caf¨¦. The surrounding shops were not willing to sublet. After all, they were close to the university town and there were severalrgemunities around. It was thergest shopping mall within 10 kilometers. The location was very good. The business of the store was good and the loss from subleasing was too great.

    ¡°It¡¯s probably the money then.¡± Zhao Yao looked at his phone and thought, ¡°Give them more money, enough to let them all be willing to sublet. However, if their decorations, loss of time, cost of moving, all kinds of manpower and material resources must bepensated for as well then I am afraid that it will cost a huge sum. Even if I want to buy the whole mall and transform it into a clubhouse, if they are not given hundreds of millions or more than a billion, the mall won¡¯t budge.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought about it again. ¡°There is still a cost problem. The monthly settlement mission only counts the revenue after costs are subtracted. Now we have to let the money go around in a circle and try to let others buy it and give it to me, just like Uncle Ho gave me.¡±

    ¡°There is still Jianghai¡¯s catmint market.¡± Zhao Yao thought: ¡°Assuming that the number of ordinary cats is ten times that of supercats. First, the amount of catmint that Dust Ball grows has to be multiplied by ten. If I want an ordinary cat owner to buy catmint... most of my advertisements are directed at super cats, it will be useless.

    Even the quality of catmint is meaningless to ordinary people. If I want to open up this market, it seems that I can only rely on money to get through the channels. This will require even more money.¡±

    Maybe through some operations, strategies, and technology to improve the profit of the cat caf¨¦, I¡¯ll slowly upy more markets. But how will I get the time to do all these things?¡±

    He decided to use money to solve these problems in a straightforward manner.

    He was going to use money to exchange the experience points earned by the cat caf¨¦ and the lucky draw tries for the catmint market.

    Thinking in this direction, Zhao Yao felt that the few hundred million in the bank were not enough. At the thought of buying a shopping mall in the future, tens of thousands of experience points per month, dominating the catmint market, and having 100 tries every month for the lucky draw, Zhao Yao felt full of enthusiasm.

    ¡°Hey, let¡¯s see if there are rich people who need more help from apostles.¡± Zhao Yao opened the cat web and began to search. There is a division regarding the employment and requesting for the help of apostles.

    However, after looking it for a while, Zhao Yao shook his head: ¡°No, I need too much money. Simply just a few million or tens of million are too small a sum. It is useless to me.¡±

    Zhao Yao suddenly remembered where his first bucket of gold came from: ¡°The Mao gang, I attacked the cat dealer group then the leader of the gang was touched by my story and gave all his savings to me to support my cause.¡±

    At the thought of this, Zhao Yao nodded to himself and felt that he had found the right direction. He immediately called Uncle Ho and asked: ¡°Uncle Ho, have there been any evil and rich criminal organizations emerging recently?¡±

    ¡°Why are you asking this?¡± Uncle Ho looked at Zhao Yao with suspicion: ¡°Do you want to do something again? Zhao Yao, Brother Yao, we have been very busy recently. Please don¡¯t stir up any trouble.¡±

    ¡°How is that possible? I am just asking.¡± After Zhao Yao realized that Uncle Ho refused to cooperate, he ended the conversation and hung up the phone.

    He opened a forum on the cat web and asked, ¡°Which organization is the wealthiest supercat organization in the world currently?¡±

    Seeing that the post was from the Headless Horseman, it immediately gathered mass attention, besides some useless and cheeky replies, Zhao Yao quickly got a lot of answers.

    Some said that Ivory from the southern part of the country and ws from the north. The two were ignored by Zhao Yao. If he were to attack the God of Death in Ivory now, it would causerge-scale social unrest. And, he did not hear about any bad actions taken by the ws from the north. Also, he had just had a phone call with Uncle Ho. He was not nning to create turmoil in the country right now.

    Some continued to say that the American cat, Star, backed by the government, had meteorites on hand. Americans had a lot of cats and money. This was also ignored by Zhao Yao. After all, the United States was the world¡¯s number one power. It was powerful, its military strength was impressive, its intelligencework was developed, and the number of supercats it possessed was alsorge. Zhao Yao did not n to attack them anytime soon. It would cause international disputes.

    He decided that he needed to level up around eight or ten levels and be invincible before challenging America.

    They continued to talk about the super-organizations in the Middle East, Britain, France, and Russia. Zhao Yao looked at them all and selected his own targets.

    However, either these organizations relied on superpowers and Zhao Yao did not want to confront national forces for the time being. He was not strong enough to ignore international powers. It was easy to cause international disputes which would result in a bunch of issues.

    Or the organizations were legal and they were doing legitimate business and hence Zhao Yao was unable to disregard that and snatch their money.

    Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t find any target.

    ¡°What?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up. The name of an organization lit up his eyes: ¡°Double-Headed Vulture? International drug trafficking organization? Use powers for drug trafficking? Also carries out part-time human trafficking? That¡¯s you then.¡±

    In an instant, the mission panel jumped and a new mission was born.

    Mission Objective: Annihte the international drug trafficking group, Double-headed vulture, and obtain at least $1 billion from them.

    Three dayster, Zhao Yao took a flight to the poorest country in Europe.

    ording to the intelligence on his cell phone, the headquarters of the Double-headed Vulture were located here.

    When he exited the airport, he saw dpidated streets, old buses, golden-haired and blue-eyed Europeans and their curious gazes. He shrugged his shoulders and waited for his tour guide to fetch him.

    A short-haireddy with yellow skin and dark eyes walked over. She stood out from the crowd, so Zhao Yao spotted her immediately. She looked exactly like her photograph¡ªLarge eyes, short hair, egg-shaped face and a little short.

    Thedy waved and ran over to Zhao Yao. ¡°Greetings, are you Mister Zhao Yao?¡±

    ¡°Yes, that is me.¡± Zhao Yao extended his hand and said, ¡°Are you the student Lin Wanqian?¡±

    ¡°Yes, that is me. Nice to meet you, Mr. Zhao Yao.¡± Lin Wanqian shook hands with Zhao Yao and said, ¡°We agreed on 500 Euros per day, is that alright?¡± She looked in anticipation at Zhao Yao as she was tempted by such a high price.

    Zhao Yao nodded and waved with his hand, ¡°No problem.¡± He took out 500 Euros and said, ¡°This is the tour guide fee for the first day.¡±

    Lin Wanqian was excited to see the money but she did not take it. Instead, she asked warily, ¡°Mister Zhao Yao, I only provide basic tour guide services. There are no additional itineraries and I do not go out at night.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and said, ¡°Do not let your imagination run wild. Do you think I would be interested in you?¡± He pointed to the golden-haireddies on the streets and said, ¡°Look at the Europeandies, they are prettier than you. You are safe here.¡±

    Lin Wanqian was so infuriated by Zhao Yao¡¯s tactlessment that she puffed her chest and red at him. After receiving the 500 Euros, she calmed herself and said, ¡°Mister Zhao, what do you intend to tour? The southern coastline is extremely scenic and connects to the mediterranean sea. The sea water is so clean that you can see the sand underneath. It is almost summer. The sunshine is lovely...¡±

    To earn the 500 Euro, Lin Wanqian had done her homework by familiarizing herself with the tourist spots.

    Zhao Yao waved his hand and said, ¡°I am not going there. I prefer to tour the city.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Lin Wanqian looked at him puzzled and said, ¡°We can go to the Downtown Square, museum, art gallery, opera house and...¡±

    Zhao Yao waved his hand again and said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to go there. Bring me to the most chaotic location.¡±

    ¡°What? The most chaotic location?¡± Lin Wanqian was terrified and took a few steps back. She looked warily at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Mister Zhao, what do you intend to do here?¡±

    ¡°Touring, haven¡¯t I told you already? Zhao Yao observed her wary behavior and smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I do not like scenic views when touring. I prefer to immerse myself in the local culture.¡±

    Lin Wanqian smiled awkwardly. She was having second thoughts about this tour guide job. Law and order here were not as good as they appeared and she did not want any trouble.

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Miss Lin, why are you here?¡± While strolling and observing the scenic views, Zhao Yao discovered that there were very few tourists here.

    ¡°I am here to fulfill my summer modules.¡± Lin Wanqian coaxed, ¡°Mr. Zhao, there are ces here that are not suitable for touring as they are dangerous. Shall we tour the National Museum in the downtown area?¡±

    Lin Wanqian was not an ignorant kid. Underneath the peaceful facade, was a criminal ring that ran throughout Europe. Every year,rge amounts of drugs and kidnapped women were sold here to the rest of Europe and even America.

    Maintaining a low profile and avoiding trouble were her survival tools.

    Zhao Yao sighed as he was perplexed. He did not know the localnguage and required a tour guide as a trantor.

    ¡°Will you ept 1000 Euro?¡±

    Lin Wanqian shook her head violently like a rattle drum while Zhao Yao said, ¡°5000 Euro, only for one day.¡±

    Lin Wanqian was dumbfounded and she hesitated for a while before struggling to say, ¡°I will only bring you there and I will not do anything illegal.¡±

    ¡°That is enough, let¡¯s go.¡±

    Along the way, both of them traveled by public transport and on foot. Zhao Yao was enjoying this charming little European country.

    There were many caf¨¦s on the streets and the locals looked free and easy. When they noticed both of them, they looked as though they had seen exotic creatures. The city buildings looked obsolete and wereparable to second-rate and third-rate cities in China.

    As they proceeded further, the scenery changed from public roads to muddy paths, from the downtown areas to rural areas. Finally, they arrived at a street with numerous shacks that were self-constructed by the locals. They were squeezed haphazardly together forming argebyrinth.

    Some local kids begged Zhao Yao for money and were stopped by Lin Wanqian.

    Lin Wanqian looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Try not to give them money. Do not take out your money from your wallet. If you want to buy any things, let me pay using Lek?, the local currency. Do not show your wealth. I am sure you understand this.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded, his eyes sweeping around, his ears quivering. He was paying attention to his surroundings.

    ¡°There must be a gang here and they will know where to find the Double-headed Vulture members. As long as I am able to find a single member, I will have the ways and means to locate the headquarters,¡± Zhao Yao thought, ¡°To find the local gang...¡±

    He thought for a while, looked at Lin Wanqian and asked, ¡°Where is the red light district?¡± Although the Double-headed Vulture only dealt drugs, as thergest human smuggling ring in Europe, they would be in cahoots with the local gangs to force women into prostitution.

    ¡°Ah? Ah????¡± Lin Wanqian gazed at Zhao Yao with contempt and said furiously, ¡°How would I know about such ces? And... you came all the way here, just to... ¡±

    She could not imagine that a person would look for the red light district after a flight. He must be full of energy or rather full of lust?

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Just bring me there.¡±

    ¡°Scumbag, you have to go yourself.¡± Lin Wanqian scolded, swiveled and ran off as she did not want to stay any longer. After more than a hundred meters, she regretted.

    ¡°This ce is chaotic and dangerous. I don¡¯t think it is a good idea to leave him here.¡± After thinking for a while, though she disliked him, she had to bring him back to the downtown area.

    As she was turning her head, a huge pair of hands covered her mouth and she was pulled into a small alley. She struggled frantically but was made unconscious and carried away.

    As Lin Wanqian was being captured, Zhao Yao¡¯s ears quivered. ¡°Well?¡±

    ¡°Roly Poly, activate invisibility.¡±

    After both of them were invisible, Zhao Yao activated Time Freeze and shed next to Lin Wanqian.

    Lin Wanqian was unconscious. A bald-headed brute carried her on his shoulders and walked with a long-haired burly man towards a van parked at the back of a small alley.

    Zhao Yao activated his superpower to put down Lin Wanqian. After that, he activated Elizabeth¡¯s power of illusion.

    The eyes of the two men blurred momentarily and they saw an Asian man appear before them, carrying the unconscious woman. Both of them were hardcore gang members who kidnapped women for a living. Without hesitation, they rushed towards him.

    The Asian man was easily defeated. The long-haired man grabbed the woman while the bald man punched and kicked the Asian man to the ground. The bald man stomped on his face, cursed in the localnguage before stomping heavily on his skull.

    The long-haired man, who was carrying Lin Wanqian, said, ¡°Enough Poison Dart, stop beating him. You are going to beat him to death.¡±

    Poison Dart kicked the Asian man viciously on his stomach. Seeing that the Asian man had passed out, he spat and said in his localnguage, ¡°Trash.¡±

    The two men walked towards the van while Zhao Yao was behind them carrying Lin Wanqian. In fact, the burly man did not carry Lin Wanqian. They were both fighting thin air and were made to believe the illusion created by Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao tricked them so that they would lead him to their hideout.

    He could have chosen to torture them to obtain information that had to be verified, but the illusion was more effective.

    However...

    Zhao Yao patted Lin Wanqian¡¯s shoulders. She was still groggy. Zhao Yao shook his head and thought, ¡°I cannot leave her here. I have to bring her along.¡±

    Zhao Yao activated his power of illusion and carried Lin Wanqian while following the two men. The four of them boarded the van and drove towards the gang¡¯s hideout.

    After a short while, the van stopped at a small rundown building. Zhao Yao followed both men into the building and saw three men, who were watching a ser match on the television, waving to them.

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°What are they saying?¡±

    Old Cat, who was on Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulder, said, ¡°Discussing ser, greeting each other and nothing of importance.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded. Old Cat had been doing the trantion the whole time, however, Zhao Yao preferred someone local so he engaged a tour guide.

    Poison Dart carried the illusion of Lin Wanqian and smiled merrily as he climbed the stairs. ¡°Look what I have here, a Chinese woman. I am sure she will fetch a good price.¡±

    In the house, arge bearded middle-aged man was sipping coffee and reading the newspaper. He lifted his head to look. ¡°Chinese? Could be another type of Asian, they all look alike.

    This is very rare. Our customers prefer golden-haired and blue-eyed women. Chinese women may not be easy to sell as those customers will be shopping in South-east Asia.¡±

    ¡°My dad went to China to study, so I am able to identify Chinese! She is definitely Chinese.¡± Poison Dart caressed the cheeks of the illusion of Lin Wanqian and said, ¡°She is quite pretty, small eyes and mouth, looks like a twelve-year*old girl. Some of our customers will like her.¡±

    The middle-aged man, Zach, shrugged his shoulders. ¡°Send her up. Remember to check if she is a virgin that will fetch a very high price.¡±

    Zhao Yao surveyed the entire building while Elizabeth¡¯s Sound Field superpower engulfed the whole ce.

    ¡°First floor with four men, second floor with five men, third floor with twelve kidnapped women and the bald man.¡± Zhao Yao looked at the twelve women and frowned. They were tied by ropes and looked groggy.

    Poison Dart was stripping the clothes of the illusory woman, checking if she was a virgin.

    At his instant, Lin Wanqian regained consciousness. She discovered she was being carried on the shoulders and screamed. She struggled to climb down from Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulders.

    Her screams alerted the gang members.

    ¡°Let me go! Let go of me!¡±

    ¡°Help! Help!¡±

    Though Zhao Yao had activated his power of illusion to shield their ears, they were still rmed. The middle-aged man on the first floor, Zach, frowned and beckoned his men. ¡°Go up and see who is creating the racket. Teach her a good lesson.¡±

    Lin Wanqian was put down by Zhao Yao. She looked around in terror and pleaded, ¡°Please let me go. I am an only child and I have AIDS so I will not fetch any price.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes, looked at her pitiful face and said, ¡°Okay, you are safe.¡±

    ¡°Please, I beg you!¡± Lin Wanqian did not believe him and pleaded, ¡°My mum and dad have been handicapped and are without jobs or ie. They depended on me to support them.¡±

    ¡°Enough.¡± Zhao Yao sighed, ¡°I told you that you were safe.¡± Zhao Yao pped Poison Dart¡¯s face and he stepped back. He was puzzled why had taken a step back. He did not feel any pain as his sense of touch was shielded.

    Zhao Yao pointed at Poison Dart and said, ¡°Do you see that? Besides me, nobody can see you.¡±

    Lin Wanqian was astonished. She walked in front of Poison Dart and waved her hands before eximing, ¡°Really? Why is this happening?¡± She suspected that they could be in cahoots to deceive her.

    Seeing her disbelief, Zhao Yao flicked his finger and activated his power of illusion. Lin Wanqian saw darkness and her body floated in a star-filled universe. She was scared stiff and started sweating profusely.

    When the illusion faded, she looked at Zhao Yao convinced and asked, ¡°You..are you an apostle?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Zhao Yao nodded and said, ¡°I am the international cop Zhao Benshan. I came here to exterminate the drug trafficking organization, Double-headed Vulture. I need your cooperation.¡±

    Lin Wanqian gaped at him and thought, ¡°I do not know how to answer!!!¡±

    Footsteps were heard from the stairs. A gang member walked up cursing and swearing. ¡°Who asked for help? Tired of living?¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned as he could not dy his n. He could not bear to see the gang members ill-treat the kidnapped women.

    Zhao Yao walked to the gang member, exerted all his might and punched him on the chest. The gang member groaned and knelt to the floor, unable to say a word.

    ¡°What is happening?¡± Poison Dart looked at the fallen gang member and walked over when he felt a sharp pain on the back of his neck. He turned around and saw nothing.

    ¡°That sturdy?¡± Zhao Yao looked surprised by the bald man who was 15cm taller than him. He punched his forehead with all his might and he fell to the ground.

    As Zhao Yao descended the stairs, he suddenly looked back at Lin Wanqian and said, ¡°Why are you gaping? Follow me.¡±

    ¡°Oh...¡± Lin Wanqian thought they were leaving and followed him enthusiastically. Zhao Yao fought his way down from the third floor to the ground floor. All the gang members were unable to see the attacks and copsed to the ground.

    Zhao Yao said to Lin Wanqian, ¡°Wait for me here.¡±

    After Zhao Yao entered the small building again, Lin Wanqian wanted to run but she was afraid. While hesitating, she saw Zhao Yao exit the house with the fallen gang members floating behind him.

    The ten captured gang members were tossed onto the ground.

    Zhao Yao waved his hand and a chair floated to him. Sitting on the chair, he gazed at the ten men and said to Lin Wanqian, ¡°Tell them I have questions. I will kill them if they do not answer.¡±

    Zhao Yao kept Lin Wanqian because she could help him trante better than Old Cat.

    Lin Wanqian looked at Zhao Yao in shock. Recalling his ferocious look, she tranted to Poison Dart, Zach and the gang members.

    The gang members reacted with scorn. Zach red at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Chinese man, do not be smug because of your superpower. If you fight against the Cobra Gang, you will not leave this city. You will be dismembered and thrown into the feces pit. And this girl...¡±

    Zhao Yao listened to Lin Wanqian¡¯s trantion. He was perplexed when the gang member starting cursing.

    The Deflective Field was activated and a steel rod flew up and prated Zach¡¯s wrist, pinning him to a mud wall.

    ¡°Ah!!!¡± Zach screamed in agony and red maliciously at Zhao Yao and Lin Wanqian. ¡°My brothers will take revenge for me.¡±

    Lin Wanqian was scared stiff by his malevolent gaze. She stepped back and hid behind Zhao Yao.

    Lin Wanqian understood the gang members very well and said timidly, ¡°These people are not afraid of death. They will kidnap for a few hundred Euros and sacrifice themselves for a few thousand Euros.¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin. ¡°Not afraid of death? Perhaps before meeting me.¡±

    Most of his enemies in China would yield under such interrogation. However, the gang members were born in the poorest country in Europe. In such harsh conditions, they did not have a moral code and depended on brutality to survive. They do not care for others except for their own families.

    Zhao Yao gazed his Zach, who was ring back fearlessly. He even spat saliva at him.

    Zhao Yao asked Zack grimly, ¡°How many women have you sold?¡±

    Zach sneered as Lin Wanqian tranted. ¡°100? 500? 1000? Who knows. Do you think I would be concerned with how many women I sold?¡±

    Lin Wanqian covered her mouth as she felt the urge to vomit. She looked in astonishment at the ten gang members. She could not see any guilt, regret or perplexity in their eyes... only a matter-of-factness.

    Zhao Yao maintained hisposure, looked at Zach and asked, ¡°Do you know about Double-Headed Vulture?¡±

    Zach kept quiet, looked bewilderedly at them and sneered, ¡°You are looking for death.¡±

    ¡°Not willing toply.¡± Zhao Yao activated his power of illusion and an invisible vibration engulfed the gang members.

    In the next instant, they eximed out of fright. They saw numerous ants climbing up their legs. No matter how they swatted, the ants would not give up. Zach¡¯s body was filled with millions of ants devouring his flesh and bones and he yielded.

    ¡°Stop! Stop!¡± Zach screamed in terror. ¡°I will tell you, stop! I will tell you everything if you stop these d*mn vermin!¡±

    Zach tossed and turned, knocking his body against the wall to stop the ants. However, Zhao Yao was unaffected and he watched solemnly.

    Zach¡¯s screams became more frantic. When he saw the flesh below his thighpletely devoured, he incinerated his body with a lighter.

    The other nine men watched in horror. The ants on their body did not chew their flesh, however, they gazed at Zhao Yao with much terror.

    Lin Wanqian was not subjected to the illusion so she could not see any ants. She was shocked by Zach¡¯s screams and his incineration. Though she was frightened, she felt satisfaction seeing the gang members being punished for their sins.

    Zhao Yao looked at them and said, ¡°I am asking again, who has information on the Double-Headed Vulture.¡±

    Everyone with the exception of Poison Dart hesitated. They were about to blurt out information on Double-Headed Vulture.¡±

    Poison Dart stood up and said, ¡°Don¡¯t think that you can get any useful information from us. I will see you in hell!¡± He took out a handgun from his jacket and aimed it at Zhao Yao.

    The bullet prated Zhao Yao as though it had shot through an illusion.

    Zhao Yao appeared behind their back, shaking his head. The previous Zhao Yao was just an illusion.

    The ants chewed on Poison Dart¡¯s body, causing him to fire wildly at Zhao Yao, depleting his bullets. He screamed, copsed to the ground and rolled all over the ce.

    Zhao Yao sighed. ¡°You should have left one bullet for yourself.¡±

    Poison Dart had lost his sanity under the illusory attack of the ants. He cried while imploring, ¡°Pardon me, please stop these vermin, I beg you! I will tell, I will say everything.¡±

    Zhao Yao controlled with his thoughts and Poison Dart copsed to the ground, unable to move or speak, silently enduring the chewing of the ants. Zhao Yao looked at the remaining eight gang members and asked, ¡°Who has information on Double-Headed Vulture?¡±

    ¡°I know!¡±

    ¡°I know, I know!¡±

    The eight menpeted with each other to tell everything. Lin Wanqian was concentrating as she tranted, ¡°They do not know the details about Double-Headed Vulture except that it is the leader of all the gangs and responsible for exporting kidnapped women and drugs overseas...¡±

    When Lin Wanqian stopped, Zhao Yao asked, ¡°What happened? Is there something you don¡¯t understand?¡±

    Lin Wanqian covered her mouth as she found it difficult to ept. ¡°3... 3000 Euros to 5000 Euros for a kidnapped woman. How could they do such as thing?¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed and said, ¡°Ask them the location of the Double-Headed Vulture.¡±

    Zhao Yao was disappointed with the answer. This location was a stronghold of the Cobra Gang and only their leaders were able to contact members of the Double-Headed Vulture.

    Zhao Yao nodded and said, ¡°Okay.¡± He pointed casually to one of the men and said, ¡°Where is your boss? Get him toe over, I will wait for him here.¡±

    Lin Wanqian did not trante his words. She looked astounded at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°What are you saying? Are you waiting for them here? This is too dangerous. They will bring a lot of people. I also heard that the gangs have machine guns!!¡±

    Zhao Yao waved his hands. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, the more the merrier. You will trante my words directly.¡±

    Lin Wanqian was notplying as she thought it was suicidal. Even if Zhao Yao possessed superpowers, she was unsure he could handle hundreds of gangsters with firearms.

    Zhao Yao shrugged his shoulders and said in frustration, ¡°If you do notply, I will leave you here.¡±

    ¡°You!¡± Lin Wanqian reluctantly spoke to the eight men. Old Cat suddenly blurted, ¡°Zhao Yao, this woman didn¡¯t trante your words, she said we were returning to our country.¡±

    Zhao Yao stared at Lin Wanqian and gravely said, ¡°Trante my exacts words before I will strip you naked and throw you in the wilderness.¡±

    Lin Wanqian red at him. ¡°Is this man trying to implicate me? Does he understand what I had tranted? Why does he want me to trante?¡±

    Lin Wanqian was fuming at his arrogance but she was helpless against physical threats. Under the supervision of Old Cat, sheplied.

    The eight gang members were shocked after listening to the trantion. They looked dumbstruck at Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao was indifferent as he pointed out a member and asked, ¡°What is your name?¡±

    ¡°Nick.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Very good, Nick, you may go and convey my message. Remember to ask your boss to bring more men.¡±

    Nick could not believe his luck and ran a few steps. When Zhao Yao did not stop him, he bolted off.

    Lin Wanqian looked worriedly at Zhao Yao and yelled, ¡°Hey! Are you really waiting for them here? It is too dangerous, let¡¯s leave.¡±

    Zhao Yao sat leisurely on the chair, studied the newly appeared mission and said, ¡°Do not fret. Rx a bit. With me around, you will be the safest woman. As long as you are obedient, you will not die even if you wanted to.¡±

    Mission: Exterminate the Cobra Gang

    Mission Objective: Exterminate the Cobra Gang

    Reward: 1000 experience points

    Mission Penalty: None

    ¡°Simple and brutal mission... my favorite.¡± Zhao Yao nodded with satisfaction. ¡°When I return, I should be able to upgrade Elizabeth.¡±

    Lin Wanqian was overwhelmed with anxiety and she paced up and down, asionally ncing at Zhao Yao and sighing heavily.

    The remaining gang members sized up Zhao Yao gravely as if he was an idiot and a dead man.

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao eximed in surprise. Lin Wanqian turned her head and asked, ¡°Are you leaving?¡±

    ¡°No, I forgot about him.¡± Zhao Yao looked at Poison Dart and relinquished control over him. He remained motionless and gaped at the sky as though he had gone insane.

    ¡°He is that weak, sumbing just like that?¡± Zhao Yao shook his head and shifted his gaze at the eight men. They trembled in fear.

    Zhao Yao did not punish them. He kept the kidnapped women in his Extradimensional Belly so that he could let them go home once he returned to the downtown area.

    At the courtyard on the ground floor, Roly Poly rubbed his hands and reminded Zhao Yao, ¡°Zhao Yao, the money.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t be impatient.¡± Zhao Yao caressed Roly Poly¡¯s head and said, ¡°If I ask them for money, they will notply. Let¡¯s beat them up first.¡±

    For safety¡¯s sake, Zhao Yao spat out the supercats and equipped them with supercat armor version 3.0.

    Matcha, Elizabeth, Ares, Mango, Lightning, Uncle Egg, F¨±jin, Gaia, Rice Cake... every supercat was taken out of the Extradimensional Belly.

    Zhao Yao treated the eight gangsters as dead men, hence he did not hide his preparation for a full battle.

    Lin Wanqian was amazed while the eight gangsters looked worried. They looked at each other and postted, ¡°Are those supercats?¡±

    ¡°Impossible, how can a man possess so many supercats?¡±

    Zhao Yao was contemting. ¡°This is a European gang with firearms and perhaps some apostles. I have to be extra careful.¡± He looked a gangster and asked, ¡°Hey, how many men is your boss able to bring over?¡±

    The gangster replied with help of trantion, ¡°500 men, all fully equipped experienced fighters. If you release us, we can intercede for you and you will be spared from death.¡±

    ¡°That many?¡± The gangster nodded proudly when Zhao Yao expressed his astonishment.

    ¡°I should also beef up my forces.¡± Zhao Yao spat out Cat Sage, who transformed into a sixty-meter Tri-headed Golden Dragon and bellowed ferociously. Everyone was stunned.

    ¡°Maintain a low profile.¡± Zhao Yao quickly beckoned Cat Sage and said, ¡°Sage, I have reminded you numerous times, we have to maintain a low profile with our superpowers. If you show your base card too early, everyone will know your worth.¡± Zhao Yao snapped his finger and said, ¡°Roly Poly, make him invisible.¡±

    It was fortunate that the small building was located in a deste rural area, so nobody noticed Cat Sage¡¯s transformation.

    After witnessing the Tri-headed Golden Dragon be invisible, everyone in the courtyard gazed at each other, their eyes filling with terror.

    Lin Wanqian was gaping as she pointed to the location where Cat Sage had vanished. ¡°That... that... that... was that a dragon?¡±

    ¡°Not a dragon, just a little kitten.¡± Zhao Yao smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be scared by its bellows, he is actually very gentle and likes to be stroked at the chin.¡±

    Lin Wanqian felt a cold shiver run through her body. She looked at Zhao Yao and thought, ¡°What is his story?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the gang members and asked, ¡°How many apostles are there in the Cobra Gang?¡±

    They were still in awe of the huge dragon and ignored his question. Finally, a short gang member came forward and said, ¡°We have 50 apostles! If they join forces, they are able to fight against the Italian army!¡±

    ¡°That powerful?¡±

    As Zhao Yao was in deep thoughts, the gang members heaved out of relief. Zhao Yao was not that awesome since he was easily beaten. In the next moment, Zhao Yao spat out Sphynx cat.

    The gang members were frightened when Zhao Yao opened his mouth again. They heaved in relief when they realized it was only a sphynx cat even though it was muscr.

    A freight container was spat out following Sphynx cat. The little kitten gently moved its paw and tossed the container ten meters in the sky. After catching it firmly, it tossed the container again into the sky.

    A boom followed every time the sphynx cat caught the container. The ground underneath him cracked withrge fissures that looked like spider webs. Everyone was stunned.

    ¡°Monster... Monster!¡±

    ¡°This is the power of the devil!¡±

    ¡°Oh God, save us.¡±

    Seeing themotion created by Sphynx cat, Zhao Yao waved his hand and said, ¡°Enough Sphynx cat, stop ying.¡±

    Sphynx cat, who had just started his warm up, frowned andid on the ground to do his internal training. His body emitted a series of hums.

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought, ¡°This should be safe enough. The spicy cat strips are limited and will only be used when faced with a difficult opponent.¡±

    The gangsters in the courtyard were all stunned as they had never seen such powerful supercats. In their eyes, Zhao Yao was the devil king with demonic power.

    Lin Wanqian was shocked beyond imagination, perhaps greater than all the umtion in her life. Her perspective of the world was turned upside down.

    ¡°Is the world I am in, a fantasy world with superpowers?¡± She recalled the superpowers shown by Zhao Yao and was much more confident about theing battle.

    Sounds of engines came from far outside the small building. More than ten vans surrounded the building.

    Lin Wanqian became nervous. She was extremely fearful of gang members, especially the local gangsters.

    Men armed with handguns alighted from the sieging vans and gazed in the direction of the small building. They looked fierce and arrogant.

    A speeding SUV came to a halt and a mountaineering boot set foot on the ground.

    A burly man of more than two meters exited the SUV, which shook up and down as though relieving itself of a heavy object.

    He removed his sunsses and surveyed the building. ¡°Nick, is he inside?¡±

    Nick leaped from the vehicle and gazed intensely at the building. ¡°He killed Zach and Poison Dart inside. He must have fled by now.¡±

    ¡°Nobody can escape after killing my people. No one.¡± The burly giant sneered and gave orders. ¡°Send ten men into the house to check if the women are still around and whether Zach and his men are still alive. Put the rest of our men on standby, we will pursue them soon after.¡±

    They thought Zhao Yao had already escaped. After assessing the situation in the building, they would continue their pursuit.

    The ten gang members with firearms rushed into the courtyard and saw Zhao Yao and hispanions behind him.

    Ten guns were focused on them. One of the gang members yelled, ¡°Boss, they are still inside.¡±

    ¡°Still inside?¡± The burly giant was surprised. He lowered his head when he walked through the main door. Seeing Zhao Yao and hispanions, he hollered, ¡°Chinese man, aren¡¯t you afraid of death?¡±

    Nick followed behind and gazed with hatred at Zhao Yao. ¡°Boss, he killed Zach and Poison Dart. Be careful, he is an apostle.¡±

    ¡°An apostle is no big deal, who is not... an apostle... like...¡±

    Thest word of the giant burly man was husky. He expanded rapidly while granite rocks covered the surface of his body. Before long, he had transformed into a four meter stone golem and was staring fiercely at Zhao Yao. ¡°Chinese man, who sent you?¡±

    Nick and the gangsters watched the transformation with pride. He was the leader of the Cobra Gang, the apostle Lorik, who possessed the Golem superpower.

    The stone body was immensely powerful and immune to most bullets. He was a meat grinder on the battlefield.

    Lin Wanqian was terrified. ¡°I must be dreaming, are there that many apostles in this world?¡± With so many guns pointed at her, Lin Wanqian, who was used to living in a peaceful world, was terrified as she had never encountered such a battle scene. Cold sweat dripped profusely down her spine.

    The stone golem realized he had stunned everyone and stomped forward, every step creating arge depression. ¡°Chinese man, aren¡¯t you answering? I shall question you personally.¡±

    The gang members behind the stone golem showed their taunting faces. Nick shouted maliciously, ¡°Chinese man, you will pay the price for what you have done.¡±

    The stone golem extended his hand to grab Zhao Yao¡¯s head. His body was restrained by powerful energy and tossed like a cannon shot, smashing through a wall.

    He crashnded with a loud bang and weighed down five to six trees before rolling more than ten meters onto a mud path.

    The gang members were rmed and raised their firearms, firing wildly at Zhao Yao and Lin Wanqian.

    When Lin Wanqian saw the gang members firing, she let out a shrill scream and raised her hands to shield her face.

    Following the dense stutter of gunshots, Lin Wanqian did not feel she was hit. She lifted her head and saw the bullets floating in front of them. When Zhao Yao shifted his hands gently, the bullets flew back and perforated the gang members in a sttering of blood.

    The gang members outside heard the loud bang and screams of pain, they became perplexed. Raising their guns, they prepared to dash into the courtyard.

    Lin Wanqian was stunned. Following the raising of Zhao Yao¡¯s arm, the wall of the surrounding courtyard rose with loud crackling sounds.

    It crumbled and shot out in all directions like a grey hurricane.

    Gunshots, screams of agony, and fierce roars rang in her nk mind. The smell of gunpowder and blood stench invaded her nostrils, stimting her senses.

    When she recovered from her daze, the wall had vanished. Half of the gang members were on the ground while the rest were looking at the battle in a daze.

    A ferocious roar rang from the nearby mud path.

    The stone golem, who was tossed out by Zhao Yao¡¯s Deflective Field, shook his head and stood up. After witnessing the fall of his men, he roared furiously, ¡°No one can kill my brothers and get away! I am going to destroy you!¡±

    He ran with heavy stomps. He grabbed a van with his enormous hand and tossed it towards Zhao Yao.

    The stone golem had shown astonishing explosive powers. The vans were like toy cars as he tossed them out towards Zhao Yao with ease.

    Bam! Bam! Bam! Collision sounds emanated as the vans crashed. The gang members cheered wildly for their leader as he showed off his power.

    The vans smashed on the ground and formed a small metal hill. The impact was enough to smash a huge elephant into meat sauce.

    The stone golem knew that his opponent would not be defeated easily and he roared, ¡°Open fire!¡±

    The gang members fired in the direction of the vans and the stone golem bellowed ferociously as he charged like a war chariot towards Zhao Yao.

    The old vans exploded when the bullets hit the oil tanks. With strong air currents, the fireball of the explosion turned the small courtyard into an inferno.

    The stone golem charged fearlessly into the sea of mes, intending to finish off his enemies while he gained the upper hand.

    The golem¡¯s ferocious roars came out from the sea of mes, followed by loud collisions and screams of agony of the gang members who stood behind Zhao Yao.

    Nick gazed at the inferno and said with malice, ¡°This Chinese man is dead. Boss had never gone into such a bad temper.¡±

    The gang members beside him nodded. Recalling the crazed behavior of the stone golem, which was simr to the Incredible Hulk in the movies, they shivered out of fear.

    In the next instant, all was quiet in the inferno. A strong wind dispersed the sea of mes, revealing the battle scene.

    The stone golem was lifted up in mid-air, his legs were swaying side by side and he was struggling wildly to free himself in vain.

    Zhao Yao looked at the golem and asked, ¡°Is that all?¡±

    Sphynx cat who had surveyed a perimeter of a thousand meters returned to Zhao Yao and said grimly, ¡°There are no reinforcements, leaving only one apostle and the gang members before us.¡±

    ¡°Well, 500 men? 50 apostles? I know you were lying but isn¡¯t that too exaggerated?¡± Zhao Yao turned his head and saw that his enemies had turned into burnt corpses. He sighed and said, ¡°That is enough, we are standing down. I thought they were more powerful than this.¡±

    Sphynx catid on the ground again while Ares reduced the range of the Deflective Field. The crimson rays from Elizabeth¡¯s eyes gradually vanished and Zhao Yao kept his Spicy Cat Strips.

    ¡°Too weak.¡± Matcha folded his paws and said, ¡°Humph, I am not needed in this fight at all.¡±

    Roly Poly rolled his eyes and said, ¡°Yeah, you are so strong. Of course, you are not needed in such an insignificant skirmish.¡±

    ¡°Roly Poly, you are the only one who understands me.¡± Matcha pounded his chest and said, ¡°I am the trump of the trump cards, the god of the supercats. I will only intervene at thest critical point. Don¡¯t worry, when the timees, I will intervene.¡±

    ¡°This arrogant prick...¡± Roly Poly thought, ¡°I have to be more direct as he did not understand my sarcasm.¡±

    After Roly Poly made the Tri-headed Golden Dragon visible again, Cat Sage looked at the stone golem in his ws and asked, ¡°Is it fun, little rock?¡±

    The stone golem was terrified by the huge dragon. He exerted his strength and tried to pry open the dragon¡¯s ws. However, he was no match for the colossal strength of the dragon.

    The stone golem was a giant aspared to a normal person. However, the 4-meter golem was like a ragdoll aspared to the 60-meter long Tri-headed Golden Dragon.

    The dragon grabbed onto the stone golem and nosedived. After an explosive collision, the stone golem was buried deep into the mud.

    He let out deafening roars and lifted his head but was weighed down again by the dragon ws. Even when he exerted all his might, he was unable to get up.

    Seeing their boss subdued, the members of the Cobra Gang were terrified and at a loss.

    Zhao Yao nced at them, snapped his fingers and activated his power of illusion¡ªInfinite Flow of Idleness. They copsed to the ground, toozy to stand up, move or breathe. After ten minutes, the illusion ended.

    Zhao Yao discovered that the mission for exterminating the Cobra Gang waspleted and he gained 2000 experience points. He was very pleased.

    ¡°The Cobra Gang is a small gang.¡± Zhao Yao shook his head, gazed at the restrained golem and said solemnly, ¡°Cat Sage, bring him up.¡±

    The stone golem was ced in front of Zhao Yao. Witnessing his fallen gang members, he was filled with grief and anger. ring at Zhao Yao, he yelled, ¡°You are a devil. What do you want? Why do you kill my men?¡±

    Lin Wanqian was in a daze after watching the battle. She had not witnessed such a brutal fight involving superpowers.

    She drummed up her courage and rebuked the stone golem, ¡°Those fallen gang members are your brothers, what about those kidnapped women? Aren¡¯t they humans too? Don¡¯t they have parents and siblings?¡±

    The stone golem said grimly, ¡°They had nothing to do with me. They are swine that are to be sold. How could they be on par with my brothers?¡±

    Lin Wanqian sighed when faced with such irrational logic. She was unable tomunicate with him as his perspective was distorted.

    Zhao Yao could not understand their conversation and called out to Lin Wanqian, ¡°Hey, stop chatting with him. Ask him whether he can contact members of Double-Headed Vulture.¡±

    With the help of Lin Wanqian¡¯s trantion, both parties started conversing.

    Zhao Yao questioned him eagerly, ¡°Are you the leader of the Cobra Gang? Do you know how to contact Double-Headed Vulture?¡±

    The stone golem looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Why should I tell you? You are going to kill me anyway.¡±

    ¡°Heh heh.¡± Zhao Yao smiled and pressed his head. ¡°You will tell me.¡±

    Zhao Yao activated Catherine¡¯s sleep superpower to deactivate his golem ability. After that, he activated the power of illusion to subject him to various illusions of torture.

    Lorik saw numerous female ghouls materializing out of thin air and they fed on his limbs, devouring his flesh.

    ¡°Do note near me!¡±

    All of you, get lost.

    You swine! Get loss!¡±

    Momentster, Lorik screamed hysterically, ¡°I will tell, I will tell you everything. Make them stop! Make them stop immediately.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at his watch and waited for three minutes before dispelling his illusion. Lorik heaved out of relief after discovering he was intact.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°If you don¡¯t give me a satisfactory answer, I will imprison you in your nightmare. Do you understand?¡±

    Recalling the nightmarish scenes, Lorik¡¯s eyes showed terror.

    With the help of Lin Wanqian¡¯s trantion, Zhao Yao obtained detailed information.

    The Cobra Gang was a small local gang responsible for kidnapping women and then selling them to Double-Headed Vulture.

    ¡°The Double-Headed Vulture¡¯s headquarters should be located in the mountains. Only their members know the exact location among the numerous mountains.¡±

    In order not to suffer again, Lorik spilled the beans, ¡°The leader of the Double-Headed Vulture is Karim and he stays in the mountains all the time. His five sons help him to attend to the European human smuggling and drug businesses.¡±

    Lin Wanqian added, ¡°I heard from the news that viges grow poppy in the mountains. A coalition of countries cooperated in a drug bust and destroyed a few thousand tons of drugs. The Double-Headed Vulture is indeed very powerful.¡±

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Who are you able to contact?¡±

    Lorik said, ¡°His third son Edron is responsible for human smuggling. I know one of his men, who collects our kidnapped women.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and said, ¡°Ask him outter.¡±

    ¡°Later?¡±

    ¡°Yes, before I capture him.¡± Zhao Yao smiled at Lorik, ¡°I shall empty you of money and supercats.¡±

    Zhao Yao gazed at Lorik with his brilliant eyes and Lorik felt his hair stand. After recalling his terrifying nightmare, heplied.

    Lorik brought them to a small vi, a secret base that most of his men were not aware of. His money and supercats were well hidden inside of it.

    A twenty-kilogram obese cat was lying on the sofa while six supercats were serving him fruits and barbecued meat.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s gaze flickered and controlled the obese cat using Elizabeth¡¯s superpower. He looked at the female cats and asked, ¡°Are you supercats?¡±

    Five minutester, Matcha and Roly Poly stood by the obese cat, kicking and punching him.

    ¡°Scumbag, you are pretty arrogant.¡± Matcha stepped on his face and said, ¡°What¡¯s the deal with six cats serving you? That is tyranny, something I cannot stand for.¡±

    Roly Poly said in private to the obese cat, ¡°Hey, do you want to take it easy? Do you have a personal bank ount?¡±

    Meanwhile, Lightning consoled the six sobbing female supercats and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. You are fine. You are all rescued.¡±

    A female cat cried and said, ¡°I met him on the road and he fed me a sausage. I thought he was a good man but he brought me home, tied me up, and forced me to serve him every day.¡±

    Another female catined, ¡°I was at the roadside waiting to be fed. He came and touched me, then brought me home, telling me he had lots of canned food for me. I am old and retiring, so I followed him. There was no canned food, only cat food. I was being yed with during the day and cuddled at night, unable to escape his clutches.¡±

    Lightningforted them and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you are all safe. I am the Pas cat prince. If you want to take revenge, tell me and I will do it for you.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Lorik and said, ¡°Scumbag, you didn¡¯t tell the truth. Not only did you kidnap women, but you also kidnapped female cats.¡±

    Lorik lowered his head and said, ¡°I took in the stray cats as they were wandering on the streets. They were epting of strangers who gave them food. My cat took a liking to them and wanted them to serve him. Only then would he lend me his superpower.

    They do not have powerful abilities. The powerful supercats were captured by the Double-Headed Vulture. We had no choice.¡±

    ¡°Enough, I do not want to listen.¡± Zhao Yao asked excitedly, ¡°Money? Where is it hidden?¡±

    Lorik pried open a floor tile and dug out a huge chest containing bundles of Euros. Zhao Yao nodded. There were about 50,000 to 60,000 Euros.

    Zhao Yao gazed at Lorik and demanded fiercely, ¡°So little? Are you fooling me?¡± He activated his power of illusion and Lorik¡¯s nightmare started once again.

    After his interrogation, Lorik did not answer.

    Zhao Yao shook his head. The Cobra Gang was vicious, brutal and very poor.

    He epted the chest of Euros condescendingly. While Lorik was bleeding and looking at him, he walked to the obese cat.

    Matcha was stepping on the obese cat while Zhao Yao asked, ¡°How¡¯s it? How¡¯s the chat with your new friend?¡±

    Matcha put the meat pad of his paw before the obese cat andmanded, ¡°Lick.¡±

    The obese cat retorted, ¡°You are too much orange cat! Don¡¯t think I am scared because you are greater in number. I am not afraid of a duel with you!¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Matcha fumed and hollered, ¡°What did you call me? Orange cat? Are you blind? I am Jianghai¡¯s Scottish Fold.¡± Time Freeze was activated and ended. The obese caty at Matcha feet badly beaten and unconscious.

    Roly Poly turned his head and thought to himself, ¡°Idiot.¡±

    Matcha smiled at Zhao Yao and pointed with the thumb of his front paw. ¡°You can count on me to educate new cats. I will let him turn over a new leaf.¡±

    The eyes of the obese cat turned white, his mouth muttering inaudibly. Matcha stepped on his mouth and said, ¡°Fatso, behave yourself. I shall teach you manners when we return home.¡±

    Zhao Yao swallowed the obese cat and the six female cats into the Extradimensional Belly. He released the kidnapped women after returning to the downtown area.

    At the same time, Lorik fixed an appointment with his Double-Headed Vulture contact at a restaurant.

    Two hourster, the main door of the restaurant was shuttered and the curtains pulled.

    A muscr bouncerid twisted on the floor while a middle-aged man with a small beard knelt on the floor, ring intensely at Zhao Yao.

    He said angrily, ¡°Double-Headed Vulture will not let you go. You and your family will perish due to your foolishness. You do not know what kind of trouble you are in.¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed in frustration. ¡°Why do all of you repeat the same words?¡±

    A few minutester, he knelt on the floor with cold sweat dripping all over his body and his eyes moving frantically recalling the terrifying illusions.

    Zhao Yao said to Lin Wanqian, ¡°Let him call Edron and find out his location.¡±

    Edron was Karim¡¯s third son, responsible for the human smuggling ring in Europe. The bearded man was his underling.

    Under threats of the terrifying illusion, he finally made a phone call. After a discussion, he hung up the phone and said to Zhao Yao, ¡°I told him a rich Chinese businessman wanted to purchase a shipment of high-quality virgins. He arranged for me to meet him in Paris. I can bring you with me if you impersonate as the assistant of the rich Chinese businessman.¡±

    ¡°Paris?¡± Zhao Yao frowned and asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t he in this country?¡±

    He shook his head and said, ¡°Only Karim is hiding in the secret mountain base, his five sons are not in this country. Edron is either in London or Paris tending to the human smuggling business.¡±

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes and asked, ¡°Do you know the location of the Double-Headed Vulture¡¯sir?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know. I really don¡¯t know!¡± He eximed, ¡°Only Karim¡¯s sons and his Dragonhawk unit know the location. We do not have ess to high-level secrets.¡±

    The Dragonhawk unit was the strongest superpower unit of the Double-Headed Vulture. It consisted of hundreds of powerful viins, criminals, murderers and insane men who were battle-experienced apostles.

    They fought against coalition forces from Italy, Montenegro, and Kosovo deep in the mountains and shielded Karim while he moved his secret base. The unit had earned its notoriety in the European supernatural realm.

    The bearded man said, ¡°Do not fight against the Double-Headed Vulture. Once you are captured by the Dragonhawks, they will torture you to a state worse than death. I know of Edron¡¯s hidden stash of gold bars. We can retrieve them and escape to a distant ce far from this country.¡±

    Zhao Yao did not agree with him. Instead, Zhao Yao would get the gold bars and continue his pursuit of Edron in Paris.

    ¡°Capture Edron, then he will bring us to Double-Headed Vulture and they will be exterminated.¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin and said, ¡°I shall set up the Dimension Portal here so that I can return anytime.¡±

    If he did so, there would be only two Dimension Portals left in Jianghai.

    Zhao Yao reluctantly closed the Dimension Portal of the 18-storey building and set up one over here.

    He nned to bring the bearded man to look for Edron. He looked at the bearded man and asked, ¡°Do you speak English?¡±

    As the bearded man was involved in the human smuggling, he might be somewhat fluent in foreignnguages.

    He nodded and Zhao Yao nodded in return. Lorik and Lin Wanqian were no longer needed.

    Zhao Yao snapped his finger and Lorik looked terrified as he copsed to the ground, gradually closed his eyes and entered the darkest and final ten minutes of his life.

    Zhao Yao looked at Lin Wanqian and said, ¡°You may leave now as I do not need your help anymore.¡± He spat out 10,000 Euros but after thinking for a while, he swallowed back 2000 Euros.

    ¡°This is your tour guide fee. Take it and leave the country as soon as possible. It is going to be chaotic very soon.¡±

    Lin Wanqian saw Zhao Yao spitting money out and thought, ¡°He spat money out from his mouth? That is cute. What other objects can he spit out?¡± She shook her head hard. ¡°This is not the time for this.¡±

    She received the money and asked, ¡°Are you going after Double-Headed Vulture?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡±

    ¡°Oh, be careful. If you need help, give me a call anytime.¡±

    ¡°Okay, goodbye.¡±

    Lin Wanqian waved in farewell and watched Zhao Yao vanished into the thin air. She felt that the day¡¯s events were a fantasy, only the 8000 Euros in her hands were real.

    Zhao Yao traveled discreetly to Paris with the bearded man via public transit and a flight.

    Looking at the bustling Parisian streets, Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought, ¡°Well, I am officially working right now, so I have no time for leisure.¡±

    He looked at the dejected man beside him and spoke to him in English, ¡°Let¡¯s go, where did he tell you to meet?¡±

    The bearded man sighed heavily. ¡°I shouldn¡¯t havee. We really shouldn¡¯t be here. Edron¡¯s apanied by the Dragonhawks. We will be killed.¡±

    Zhao Yao pped him on the head. ¡°You are talking trash. If you don¡¯tply, I will kill you now.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± The bearded man looked at Zhao Yao as though he was looking at a dead man. Under his threats, he said, ¡°He is meeting me tonight at 9pm, XXX bar.¡±

    ¡°Tonight 9pm?¡± Zhao Yao looked at his watch and it was afternoon. ¡°Do you know where he is? Let¡¯s meet him directly.¡±

    ¡°How would I know?¡± he gave a wry grin and said, ¡°Edron travels discreetly. Nobody knows his daily itinerary and location.¡±

    ¡°That troublesome?¡± Zhao Yao listened to the bearded man and gazed at the bustling Parisian streets while frowning. ¡°Currently, it is 3pm. There are six more hours before the meeting.¡±

    Roly Poly saw Zhao Yao¡¯s expression andy on his head, saying, ¡°Zhao Yao, why don¡¯t we tour Paris?

    There are a lot of famous tourist attractions like Louvre museum, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame cathedral and the Champs-¨¦lys¨¦es. Let¡¯s indulge in the romantic Parisian atmosphere. Shall we have an afternoon tea at the Alfresco caf¨¦?¡±

    ¡°What is there to see? Just watch tourist videos.¡± Zhao Yao pondered, ¡°Shall I go home and have homemade chicken? After staying abroad for many days, home is still the mostfortable.¡±

    Elizabeth scoffed, ¡°I don¡¯t want to go home. I want to tour the Eiffel Tower and take pictures on the Champs-¨¦lys¨¦es!!¡±

    Zhao Yao coaxed, ¡°That is not fun. The most expensive ces are tourist attractions. Do the French tour these lousy ces? If you want to have fun, go to ces that the locals frequent. The tourist attractions are meant to earn foreigners¡¯ money. The food is expensive and tasteless. You will definitely regret it.¡±

    ¡°I want to take pictures.¡± Elizabeth said with excitement, ¡°I¡¯d like to send the pictures to my group of friends, like Sweetie Pie, so that they know I am in Paris.¡±

    Elizabeth got to know Sweetie Pie on the inte and she was part of her group of friends. Zhao Yao said, ¡°Elizabeth, that is an incorrect attitude. Are we here to take pictures? Touring is immersing yourself in the local food and culture and not just taking pictures.¡±

    Elizabeth frowned, ¡°If I don¡¯t take pictures, who will know that I have been in Paris?¡±

    ¡°Silly cat, when you send messages to your circle of friends, you can choose to indicate your current location.¡± Zhao Yao shook his head and said, ¡°Take a picture holding a cup of Starbucks coffee and describe yourself enjoying a rare afternoon break. After that, casually indicate your location. Isn¡¯t that more sophisticated than taking Eiffel Tower pictures?¡±

    Elizabeth nodded and said, ¡°Seems reasonable.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Of course, don¡¯t publish tour photographs. It is too conventional. Immerse yourself in the local culture.¡±

    Elizabeth asked again, ¡°How do I immerse myself?¡±

    Half an hourter, Zhao Yao brought the bearded man to an inte caf¨¦, which was difficult to find in Paris. Zhao Yao pointed to the people ying games inside and said, ¡°Look, this is the local Parisian culture. Immerse yourself. It isn¡¯t easy finding one of these caf¨¦s.¡±

    Elizabeth was fuming. ¡°Why would anyone travel to Paris just to ess the inte?¡±

    Zhao Yao caressed Elizabeth¡¯s head and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be angry Elizabeth. As a cat, you have to be merry. If you don¡¯t like inte caf¨¦s, I will get a French baguette for you. It is a Parisian delicacy. Since we havee from far, it will be a pity if you miss it.¡±

    Five minutester, in the Extradimensional Belly, Elizabeth stared at the French baguette in anger. She was extremely infuriated when she noticed Youyou bakery on the packaging¡ªJianghai Baoshan District XX road XX building number.

    Elizabeth hissed in anger and red at Zhao Yao. ¡°Zhao Yao, are you trying to fool me with this bread?¡±

    Zhao Yao was yingputer games as he said, ¡°Well, Elizabeth, how could you say that I am fooling you? A true Parisian baguette is as hard as a brick. You wouldn¡¯t be able to chew it.

    I have done my research. The owner of the Youyou bakery opposite our cat caf¨¦ is highly skilled. Their ingredients are of high quality and the price is value for money. He clinched the seventh spot in the National Bread Competition. After continuous improvement by the owner, his French baguette is more suited to our taste, definitely more tasty than Parisian baguette.¡±

    Elizabeth was fuming as she chewed on the French baguette. ¡°I made cakes for him and he only bought a baguette for me? He is tricking me.¡± She got angrier as she munched on the bread. She looked at Zhao Yao, who was focusing on hisputer game and wanted to wreck theputer. She cursed him in her heart, ¡°Computer games,puter games, addicted toputer games for the whole day. Doesn¡¯t he notice that there is a beautiful ragdoll cat here?¡±

    The bearded man was also brought into the Extradimensional Belly. Zhao Yao did not feel at ease leaving him alone in Paris, so he shielded his five senses and ced him inside.

    At this instant, a ck figure pounced on Elizabeth from the back. Fortunately, she dodged it.

    Elizabeth turned around to look and saw Mango sprawled at her previous position, shaking his buttocks.

    His body was almost the same size as Matcha, however, his face was twice bigger than Matcha¡¯s. Elizabeth sighed. ¡°Well, Mango, you are no longer the cute little blue kitten.¡±

    Mango meowed and pounced on Elizabeth again. Elizabeth rolled her eyes and emitted crimson rays, controlling Mango. ¡°Mango, go and find Brother Roly Poly so that he can teach you to behave.¡±

    Looking at Mango beat Roly Poly to the ground, Elizabeth sighed. ¡°This silly kid, how do you expect to attract female cats like this?¡±

    Roly Poly said, ¡°Wow, why is this silly kid so strong?¡± He wanted to be invisible to escape but his efforts were in vain. He could not outrun Mango and was pinned down by him. He could only moan in pain.

    Elizabeth felt very light as if she was being lifted up.

    Zhao Xue buried her head into her long fur and said happily, ¡°You¡¯re so adorable Elizabeth, why are you so cute?¡±

    Turning her head, she saw Zhao Xue carrying her. She rolled her eyes and said, ¡°Miss, I have already worked today. I do not attend to customers after working hours. If you wish to cuddle cats,e early to the cat caf¨¦ tomorrow.¡±

    Zhao Xue was disappointed. Elizabeth¡¯s eyes emitted crimson rays and she controlled Zhao Xue to put her down.

    Elizabeth shook her head at Zhao Xue¡¯s dejected gaze. ¡°Women like you love to cuddle so much. Let me give you 20 dors for you to buy a dog and you can cuddle all you want.¡±

    Time passed quickly. Zhao Yao suddenly smashed hisputer mouse and yelled angrily, ¡°D*mn, someone cheated. Why do I always encounter cheaters?¡±

    Rice Cake lifted her head and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, that person just now didn¡¯t cheat...¡±

    Her mouth was immediately covered by Cheese. ¡°Do not speak any further Rice Cake. It is Zhao Yao¡¯s excuse.¡±

    ¡°Who says I am finding excuses?¡± Zhao Yao shouted furiously, ¡°He obviously cheated, I shot 30 bullets and he didn¡¯t die.¡±

    Cheese nodded and said, ¡°Yes, it was tant cheating.¡± He spoke privately to Rice Cake, ¡°Rice Cake, do not argue with Zhao Yao or you will be mistreated by him.¡± He promised himself to protect his sister from the tyranny of that man.

    Zhao Yao suddenly looked worried. ¡°Already 10pm? Darn it, I amte by one hour.¡± He stood up and shouted, ¡°Let¡¯s go! Stop ying. We are starting work. All you know is y.¡±

    About twenty men in ck sat around the bar gazing around coldly.

    Edron, who had brown curly hair, sat in the middle of the table and knocked its surface impatiently.

    Edron looked at his men and asked, ¡°What time is it?¡±

    ¡°10:30¡±

    ¡°Where is York? Why isn¡¯t he here yet?¡± Edron shouted, ¡°Call him!¡±

    ¡°The phone could not get through.¡±

    Edron mmed the table. ¡°What is this fellow doing?¡±

    His men reminded, ¡°Boss, are we still waiting for him? The French police have been keeping a tight watch.¡±

    ¡°What are you afraid of? This Parisian trash... They can¡¯t even take care of a bunch of refugees, yet they want to deal with us?¡± Edronughed coldly. However, he thought about it and said, ¡°Call them and ask. We can¡¯t wait for him all night.¡±

    At that moment, the bar¡¯s door was kicked open and Zhao Yao walked in with the bearded man. He pointed to Edron and asked, ¡°Is it him?¡±

    Upon seeing this, Edron asked in annoyance. ¡°York? Why were you sote? Is this your Chinese assistant? Tell him that I call the shots here. Ask him to stop...¡±

    Zhao Yao snapped his fingers and everyone fell to the floor except for Edron and York.

    Zhao Yao patted the bearded man on the shoulder and asked again, ¡°Is it him?¡±

    ¡°No...¡± York answered nervously. ¡°It is not him.¡±

    Edron looked at York in anger and yelled, ¡°York, you betrayed us! The Double-Headed Vulture will not ...¡±

    Bam!

    Fumes engulfed the entire bar. The raging high temperature burnt every the air and everything into ashes.

    The surrounding citizens watched the mes and shouted in shock. Soon, the police and fire brigade rushed down and investigated the cause of the fire.

    On the roof opposite the bar, Zhao Yao grabbed onto York and the fake Edron. He heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°How ruthless. They tried to kill all of us immediately.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked the fake Edron and asked, ¡°How? They didn¡¯t inform you that they nted a bomb right? Do you want to tell me where is the real Edron is now?¡±

    The fake Edron clenched his teeth and kept quiet. He red at Zhao Yao and refused to cooperate.

    Zhao Yao shrugged his shoulders. ¡°Not helping? That¡¯s okay.¡± He opened his mouth and spat out Sphynx cat. He pointed to the fake Edron and said, ¡°Pick up this scent. Bring me to where he was before this.¡±

    In a manor that was a few kilometers away from the bar, the real Edron looked at theputer screen that had turned ck and shook his head. ¡°York, York. Why did you betray us?¡±

    A guy filled with tattoos asked Edron, ¡°Edron, why did you kill that guy? We should capture him and interrogate him so that we know who is after us.¡±

    ¡°Alpha, that is meaningless.¡± Edronughed and shook his head. ¡°The British, the French, the Germans, the Italians, the Asian gangs and those poor guys from the neighboring country, who doesn¡¯t want to kill us? Why should we care who is after us?¡±

    Alpha frowned and asked, ¡°But, exploding a bomb in the middle of Paris is too extreme. The French police will go around biting like mad dogs.¡±

    Edronughed coldly and said, ¡°Alpha, that was the past. Now, is the time of superpowers. One person can turn the tide, one cat can subvert a country. Do you know why we have expanded so quickly these recent years? It is not just because of Dragonhawk, but also because we are relentless, fierce, and eager enough.

    Edron looked menacingly at the Parisian night sky and said, ¡°The rich British and French, they do not darepete against us. They know we are not afraid of death. They know that we have the ability to kill thousands and millions of people. That is why they dare not dere war upon us. If we weaken, they will charge like a bunch of hungry wolves, rip our bodies apart, take our women, and steal our wealth.¡±

    Alpha sighed, ¡°Without York, we have to arrange for a new person to take over...¡±

    At that moment, an explosion was heard from outside the manor, Edron frowned and ordered, ¡°What is going on? Alpha, bring your man and take a look.¡±

    The base Edron was in was not an impermeable fortress but it was definitely dangerous to break into.

    Except for the hundreds of soldiers who were stationed there permanently, there were more than a dozen Dragonhawk members. They were all powerful apostles who were skilled in fighting.

    Even if the French special forces came, Edron was confident that he could retreat unharmed.

    A man rushed in and shouted, ¡°Boss, someone broke in.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Edron was furious. ¡°Is it the French police? Or is it other gangs?¡±

    The man was a bit flustered as he said, ¡°There is only one Chinese guy.¡±

    ¡°How is that possible.¡± Edron narrowed his eyes. ¡°Was it that guy just now? He isn¡¯t dead?¡±

    Alphaughed menacingly and said, ¡°Edron, let me go. It is probably an apostle and normal soldiers can¡¯t beat him.¡±

    Looking at Alpha besides him, Edron calmed down. With Alpha, an apostle poses no threat.

    As Alpha left, the Double-Headed Vulture¡¯s soldiers looked at him in awe and followed behind him.

    Alpha, one of the seven Dragon yers in Dragonhawk, yed an important role in Double-Headed Vulture and was the strongest apostle under Edron. As long as Alpha was there, Edron was confident in oveing any challenge.

    ...

    In the front yard of the manor, Zhao Yao was leisurely strolling on the grass patch. York and the fake Edron were yanked along by his Deflective Field.

    The Double-Headed Vulture soldiers reacted very quickly. Half a minute after Zhao Yao knocked down the front door, they were already rushing over with all kinds of pistols, rifles, and semi-automatic firearms. They opened fire on Zhao Yao mercilessly.

    York and the fake Edron closed their eyes in fear. However, although the guns fired non stop, they were not hurt. They opened their eyes and eximed in shock.

    They saw that every bullet that was shot woulde to a stop and go back to where it came from at a faster speed due to the Deflective Field.

    As more soldiersy dead in a pool of blood, the soldiers stopped shooting. They retreated with every step that Zhao Yao took. However, Zhao Yao was moving faster and faster.

    As Zhao Yao rushed forward, the soldiers were strangled by an invisible force one by one. Within a hundred meters, there were dozens of dead soldiers.

    ¡°Don¡¯t be too cocky, Chinese guy.¡±

    A quagmire appeared under Zhao Yao suddenly and he fell into it.

    At the same time, there were silver shes in the air and the hundreds of silver colored metal wires wrapped around Zhao Yao.

    The air was vibrating and it turned into a capsule and trapped Zhao Yao inside.

    ¡°Caught you!¡±

    As one by one the powers trapped Zhao Yao, they suppressed his powers and wanted to capture him alive.

    When the Double-Headed Vulture soldiers saw that Zhao Yao was immobilized due to the suppression, they heaved a sigh of relief.

    A ck apostle walked out and looked at Zhao Yao coldly. ¡°Humph, you want to fight us with such weak abilities? Looks like our ruthless reputation is not over yet.¡±

    He walked towards Zhao Yao and looked condescendingly at him. ¡°Chinese, who sent you here? Confess now and you will suffer less.¡±

    The Chinese manughed under his gaze and at the powers suppressing him. Unknowingly, Elizabeth¡¯s illusion had covered the entire manor.

    Suddenly the ck apostle was in pain and when he looked down, he saw that he was engulfed in ck mes.

    Ahh! He screamed and fell to the ground. The floor beneath him turned into a quagmire. He tried to use the muddy water to extinguish the fire on him. He soon realized that the mes were hard to extinguish. Instead, they spread faster and burnt his flesh and blood until there were only bones left.

    Everyone who saw this scene was in shock. Soon, there was an order.

    ¡°Kill him!¡±

    The rest of the apostles activated their powers together and hundreds of metal wires cut towards Zhao Yao. However, they passed Zhao Yao¡¯s body like a shadow.

    The distorted air turned into a huge palm and grabbed Zhao Yao with enough strength to crush a car. However, it still passed through Zhao Yao¡¯s body.

    Everyone was stunned. Then, Zhao Yao snapped his fingers and another apostle was screaming surrounded by ck mes.

    ¡°Weak. So weak.¡± With Zhao Yao¡¯s words, more and more Double-Headed Vulture soldiers were engulfed in the ck mes. ¡°These are the apostles of Double-Headed Vulture? So weak.¡±

    The air palm attacked Zhao Yao once again. This time, Zhao Yao opened his mouth and blew. A gush of air dispersed the palm and in a blink of the eye, the three apostles who attacked were burning in ck mes and screaming in pain.

    The other three apostles¡¯ faces changed. After Zhao Yao looked at them, they exploded on the spot and turned into piles of flesh and blood.

    Thest two apostles yelled and pressed both hands on the ground. The ground trembled and the entire manor turned into a swamp. A mud wall that was a few meters tall swept towards Zhao Yao.

    The Chinese man took a deep breath and all the mud was sucked into his mouth.

    Under the astonished gaze of the two apostles, Zhao Yao spat out two beams of mud and submerged the two of them.

    In a few seconds, the terrains of the manor had changed and all the apostles who attacked were dead.

    The elite team Edron was so proud of was defenseless against Zhao Yao. They were as weak as toys and destroyed by Zhao Yao easily.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s power was miraculous and extremely incredible.

    Edron watched the unbelievable scene while he followed Alpha out. He looked at the Chinese man with great caution.

    Alpha looked at the bodies on the floor and raged. ¡°Chinese man, you are looking for death.¡±

    Edron stood behind Alpha and asked, ¡°Who are you? Why are you an enemy of the Double-Headed Vulture?¡±

    His gaze was gloomy and he stared at Zhao Yao with hatred. Dragonhawk only had about a hundred people, now over a dozen of them were dead. This was a huge loss. Hs father Karim would be furious. The culprit of all of this stood in front of him.

    To him, the Double-Headed Vulture was very influential and even owned their own superpower force. To attack them, there must be an important reason and the person must have a strong background.

    Zhao Yao looked at them andughed, ¡°Haha, when you y games, do you attack a monster and tell him why?¡±

    As he spoke, a golden sword aura charged towards Edron.

    When Alpha heard his reply, he raged. Upon seeing that Zhao Yao still wanted to attack, he howled and started expanding. He turned into a devil who stepped on two mes. He had two horns on his head and grew a pair of bat wings as he stood in front of Edron.

    Alpha, who had turned into a devil, confronted the golden sword aura. He raised his hand and destroyed it. He looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Even Kensei from France would not dare to speak to me like this. Chinese man, I will peel your skin off...¡±

    Everyone from Double-Headed Vulture cheered. To them, Alpha fended off Zhao Yao¡¯s attack easily. This meant that Alpha was stronger.

    Zhao Yao frowned and asked, ¡°What is Kensei?¡±

    The French Kensei team was an official team of government apostles. As one of the five strongest countries in the world, the French Kensei team also had first-ss strength. They had stopped terrorist attacks many times, resolved several local wars, beheaded leaders of illegal armed forces, and had a high reputation in Europe for the past two years.

    Alpha didn¡¯t expect that this guy would not know Kensei. He thought that Zhao Yao was acting dumb to insult him. He raged and a blood-red glow shone from the devil¡¯s mouth.

    Infinite red mes came out of his mouth and charged towards Zhao Yao.

    A terrifying heat surrounded Zhao Yao in the form of a shock wave. The continuous waves swept across the ground and made the people who were watching the fight close their eyes and block their faces.

    When Alpha closed his mouth, the fire diminished and the raging wind stopped. When everyone opened their eyes, there was no one there. Even the grass, mud, and wall once visible in the distance had turned into ashes.

    ¡°He is finally dead.¡±

    ¡°What a pity, we should have interrogated him.¡±

    Seeing the enemy dead, all the Double-Headed Vulture soldiers cheered.

    Alpha¡¯s face gleamed with delight as he turned and spoke to Edron, ¡°Edron, let¡¯s evacuate. The Parisian police already have their eyes on us.¡±

    However, a stunning situation urred. The facial features of Edron distorted and turned into Zhao Yao¡¯s face.

    When Alpha turned and looked around, all the Double-Headed Vulture soldiers in front of him had changed into Zhao Yao.

    After turning into Zhao Yao, they looked at Alpha and pped. ¡°Awesome. Awesome.¡±

    Alpha was furious. ¡°What are you doing? Let them go!¡± When he spoke the first half of the sentence, his voice was still normal. However, when he reached the second half, his voice had changed into an unfamiliar voice.

    He touched his face and eximed, ¡°What is going on? Why is this happening?¡±

    Edron walked up and pulled out a mirror. He showed Alpha his reflection and said, ¡°Alpha, you look so handsome now.¡±

    In the mirror, Alpha had turned into Zhao Yao. Alpha yelled and smashed the mirror and grabbed Edron by the cor. ¡°What have you done? Turn me back!¡±

    Edron who had Zhao Yao¡¯s faceughed and smiled entrically. ¡°Don¡¯t you look good now?¡±

    ¡°Are you not handsome?¡±

    Alpha turned and saw that everyone had turned into Zhao Yao. The bodies on the floor turned their heads and smiled at him. ¡°Are you not handsome?¡±

    Ahh! Alpha opened his mouth and spat mes out. The mes swept towards the bodies, turning them into ashes. However, the mes turned into Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°Are you not handsome?¡±

    Alpha stumbled backward and heard a bellow-like sound. He turned and realized that the entire manor was changing. The windows became eyes, the door became a mouth and Zhao Yao¡¯s face appeared.

    Seeing this, Alpha could no longer take it. He yelled and spurted out a sea of mes, burning everyone and the entire manor into ashes.

    ¡°Die! All of you should die!¡±

    Although everything was burning, theughter still continued. Alpha looked down and saw his palm had turned into Zhao Yao¡¯s face. On every part of his body, his arms, shoulders, and abdomen, Zhao Yao¡¯s face appeared.

    In the real world, the entire manor was silent. All the Double-Headed Vulture soldiers were lying on the ground, their eyes were moving around frantically and their faces were distorted. They were all experiencing an indescribable horror.

    In front of Edron, Alpha was on the ground with his eyes and mouth wide open. He wasughing maniacally and looked like he was crazy.

    The person who had brought all of this on them was standing in front of Edron, wearing a ck robe. The young man was as powerful as the gods and devils. Edron looked at him quietly as cold sweat dripped down like rain.

    This young man had entered the manor like it was empty and wherever he went, apostles and soldiers fell to the ground and yelled in pain.

    Even the strongest Dragon yer Alpha had sumbed. He was now on the ground,ughing like a fool.

    York and the fake Edron behind Zhao Yao were aghast. In their eyes, Zhao Yao was like a devil.

    Zhao Yao praised the usefulness of Elizabeth¡¯s illusions in his mind. This power was easily defended against by covering the ears. However, people who don¡¯t know were defenseless against it, no matter their strength. This was the strongest and weakest power he had.

    Edron cherished his life more than the gangs before. He smiled politely and said, ¡°We, Double-Headed Vulture, have the strongest influence throughout all of Europe. The assets in our hands are worth more than ten billion euros. Furthermore, we own the Dragonhawk team. It is capable of fighting against official apostles from any country in Europe.

    If you are willing, we would like to cooperate with you. You can be the captain of the Dragonhawk team and with our strong alliance, the whole of Europe will be under our feet.¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed and stroke his head as if he were a dog and said slowly, ¡°I don¡¯t work with weaklings. Now tell me, where are the headquarters of the Double-Headed Vulture?¡±

    Edron¡¯s pupils contracted and his entire body started to tremble. There was an endless stream of sweat on his forehand and he seemed like he was seeing the world¡¯s most horrendous illusions.

    When he was awake, he was lying on the floor covered in sweat. He looked extremely weak and his gaze was filled with fear. He looked at Zhao Yao as if he was a devil.

    Zhao Yao stood in front of him calmly and his ck robe fluttered behind him like mes, emitting a viinous and malicious presence.

    Zhao Yao spoke to Ares privately, ¡°¡®Can you pull the robe irregrly? Make it look natural? And don¡¯t cover my eyes.¡±

    Ares: ¡°So picky...¡±

    ¡°This is called ss. Don¡¯t you get it?¡± Zhao Yao was annoyed. ¡°With this, it will be so much easier to question himter. We are dealing with an international criminal organization. Can you guys be more professional?! Matcha stop ying with your phone!¡±

    Matcha raised his head. ¡°I am not ying. I was just checking the time!¡± The next moment, a voice came from the phone and said, ¡°Wee to Mobile Legends. Five seconds until the enemies reach the battlefield.¡±

    Zhao Yao clenched his teeth and hid his unhappiness while continued to squat down expressionless. He patted Edron on the cheeks and said, ¡°Tell me. Where are the headquarters of the Double-Headed Vulture?¡±

    Edron had crumpled. He opened his mouth and told Zhao Yao everything he knew. Zhao Yao nodded with satisfaction and everyone in the manor died except for Edron.

    Zhao Yao looked at Edron and thought about his next step.

    His mission was to destroy the Double-Headed Vulture and take more than 2 billion USD from them. If he attacked the Double-Headed Vulture headquarters straight away, the members who were aboard, Karim¡¯s four other sons, would definitely flee. By then, it would be hard to find them.

    If he didn¡¯t kill them, Zhao Yao felt that it would not count aspleting the mission. Furthermore, the four sons would definitely have their own assets and Zhao Yao did not intend to let those go.

    ¡°Looks like we have to split up.¡± Zhao Yao touched his chin and thought, ¡°I have to strike once and get rid of all the minions of the Double-Headed Vulture.¡±

    ¡°Essentially, I have to attack all four sons at once. I can deal with the headquarterster.¡±

    ¡°This means, I need at least four teams.¡± Zhao Yao was counting. ¡°I can be on my own.¡±

    Dust Ball had the Extradimensional Belly, she could return anytime. With Sphynx cat, they could attack and defend and should be hard to track.

    Elizabeth¡¯s illusion had strong powers, there were hardly any powers who can restrain her. Plus Cheese¡¯s moving powers and Ares¡¯s defense, they could be a team.

    The rest had to be high movement powers. This probably meant Cat Sage¡¯s Tri-headed Golden Dragon. His attack and defense were strong, plus Roly Poly¡¯s invisibility and his Dog Eye and Catherine as the trump card. It should be enough.

    Zhao Yao thought about it, judging from Edron¡¯s abilities, the capabilities of the teams he split should be more than enough to deal with them. He just didn¡¯t know if the supercats were would agree.

    ¡°I will ask themter. Now, my priority is...¡± Zhao Yao looked down at Edron who was on the brink of copsing.

    Zhao Yao grabbed onto Edron and made him transfer all the money in his ount to him.

    Edron transferred about thirty million euros to Zhao Yao. Zhao Yao was encouraged and very motivated to do the rest of the mission.

    ¡°Wow. Thirty million euros is about two billion RMB?¡± Zhao Yao was overjoyed. ¡°This is lucrative. It is so lucrative. With this much money, I can buy a few more buildings. When I buy every building in the district, the entire district will be mine. By then I can recruit female tenants only. What a wonderful idea.¡±

    Thinking of this, Zhao Yao shook his head. ¡°No, no, no. Zhao Yao, you are getting ahead of yourself. The money is for the operation of cat caf¨¦ and to dominate the catmint market to earn more lucky draw chances. I can¡¯t spend it randomly.¡±

    He calmed himself down and looked at Edron coldly. ¡°Only this much? Where is the rest of your money?¡±

    ¡°There is no more. I really don¡¯t have any left.¡± Thirty million gone made Edron¡¯s heart ache. It wasn¡¯t that he did not want to stand up to Zhao Yao; Zhao Yao was too ruthless. He never wanted to experience the illusion again.

    Looking at Zhao Yao¡¯s ruthless expression he continued, ¡°The rest are fixed assets in Ennd and France. I can¡¯t change them to cash in such a short period of time. Furthermore, most of the money is with my dad. This is all of my savings.¡±

    ¡°Is it?¡± Zhao Yaoughed coldly. He did not believe that criminals like him who did human and drug trafficking would not have a backup n and leave all their money in the bank.

    ¡°That¡¯s so dishonest.¡±

    Then, Edron started to see illusions again. He saw hundreds of butchers naked. They were walking around and shitting around him. Theyughed and walked towards him.

    ¡°Don¡¯te near me!¡± His limbs were pressed down by the butchers and his clothes were ripped apart. Edron was screaming, ¡°Don¡¯te closer! Don¡¯te closer!¡±

    After a while, he let out a scream and tears of humiliation rolled down his face. ¡°Stop! Make them stop! I will give you the money!¡±

    Zhao Yao waved and the illusions disappeared. He stared at Edron on the floor and said, ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it have been easier if you cooperated earlier?¡±

    After another round of interrogations, Zhao Yao managed to extort another round of cash, jewelry, and gems. They were worth about five million euros.

    Next, he had to bring the supercats hiding in the manor back into the Extradimensional Belly.

    ¡°This is about it.¡±

    He looked at Edron¡¯s exhausted and frozen face, Zhao Yao used illusions to trick Edron into the Extradimensional Belly. The strategy for what happened afterwards had to be discussed with the supercats.

    Zhao Yao gathered the elites and leaders of the six departments and exined the situation. He continued, ¡°Now, the Double-Headed Vulture has four groups abroad. Before attacking their headquarters, I have decided to split you into four teams and destroy their influences oversea and confiscate their illegal earnings.¡±

    After hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s words, every cat had different thoughts. They experienced excitement, hesitation, nervousness, and worry.

    ¡°Destroy their base?¡± Matcha was excited. He jumped and raised his paws. ¡°I want to go! I want to go! Zhao Yao, include me!¡± He was overjoyed. ¡°How did Zhao Yao be rich? From robbing. Now it is my turn to get rich.¡±

    When he saw Matcha¡¯s excited look, Zhao Yao was silent. ¡°Our opponent is an international criminal organization. They are very powerful and have many apostles. We need very strong supercats to defeat them.¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t that me?¡± Matcha continued raising his paws and said, ¡°I will go! I will go!¡±

    Zhao Yao fell silent again. He looked at Matcha¡¯s anticipating and innocence eyes and thought, ¡°How do I say this? How do I say that you are too weak? I can¡¯t, then it leaves me with no choice.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Matcha you will be with me. We are Group One.¡± Zhao Yao didn¡¯t give supercats the chance to arrange themselves into groups. ¡°Dust Ball and Sphynx cat, you guys are Group Two.

    Elizabeth, Cheese, and Ares, Group Three.

    Cat Sage, Roly Poly, and Catherine, Group Four.

    We will separate into four groups and attack at the same time. Our aim is to defeat all the minions of the Double-Headed Vulture and take all their money.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the cats and said, ¡°Everyone please remember that this is not just for ourselves. It is for world peace, to fight against evil and to liberate the supercats enved by the Double-Headed Vulture. Good will always win over evil!¡±

    After hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s speech all the supercats had their own thoughts.

    Matcha: ¡°Zhao Yao still trusts me He has to bring me around to have a peace of mind.¡±

    Roly Poly: ¡°Exploitation, extortion, corruption, fraud, and robbery... Meow I am so talented.¡±

    Elizabeth: ¡°Tour with expenses provided? I must take more photos this time.¡±

    Sphynx: ¡°Why am I not with Ares? Why is Ares with Elizabeth? How can Zhao Yao do this?¡±

    Cheese: ¡°Can I bring my sister along to y?¡±

    Ares: ¡°He scared me. At least I am not with Sphynx. Elizabeth? It would have been better to be with Catherine, Elizabethcks a bit of vor.¡±

    Cat Sage: ¡°For justice! For the supercats in the Double-Headed Vulture! Zhao Yao is so great. I knew that I followed the right guy.¡±

    Catherine: ¡°So troublesome... Why does a ragdoll cat like me have to go out and work? I have not cut my nails yet... I don¡¯t feel like working.¡±

    Old Cat: ¡°It looks like Matcha is in favor again after he came back. It is time to talk to Sir George again.¡±

    Lucifer: ¡°Damn fighting a criminal organization? They have to face countless powerful people and danger. How I wish I could help.¡±

    Rice Cake: ¡°None of this concerns me right? Can I go back and y games? Can I leave?¡±

    Gaia: ¡°Why are the cats gathering? It looks crowded. It¡¯s okay, I don¡¯t think they realize that I am not there. I should continue ying my game.¡±

    Fish Ball: ¡°Why am I here? What are they talking about? It has nothing to do with me, right? I am just passing by. Do I just have to nod?¡±

    After Zhao Yao left Edron¡¯s manor, a guy in ck came to the manor and pulled down the fence to look at the traces of the battle and the bodies.

    There was a big-nosed blond middle-aged man. He stood in front of Alpha and frowned. ¡°Is this Alpha the Dragon yer from Double-Headed Vulture? He is dead too?¡±

    His men answered him, ¡°Sir, all the soldiers and apostles in the manor died from suffocation. Edron is missing but he just transferred money from his bank. We think that he is still alive.¡±

    The blond guy narrowed his eyes and red coldly. He thought of the fight here and the explosion in the city, heughed coldly. ¡°They dare to unscrupulously attack in Paris. Do these thugs really think that they can do whatever they want with a bit of power?¡±

    He ordered. ¡°Check all the surveince cameras in the city, airport and on the highway for thest three hours... Inform all the apostles... Keep the entire city under surveince... Let out the hunting dogs... Put a Kensei team on standby...¡±

    As the blond man spoke, his orders were issued and Paris became a giant.

    While the high-ranking officials were raging, countless actions were taken.

    In the Extradimensional Belly, Zhao Yao had created the groups.

    ¡°There are no objections right?¡± When Zhao Yao saw that no cat objected, he continued, ¡°I shall appoint a cat to be in charge for each group. I will be in charge of Group One, Sphynx cat is in charge of Group Two, Elizabeth will be in charge of Group Three and Cat Sage is in charge of Group Four. Everyone stay in your own groups. You have to follow the orders of your leader. Their orders are my orders.¡±

    Speaking of this, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes let a cold and menacing re that made all the cats¡¯ fur stand up.

    ¡°Zhao Yao is so scary!¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°If someone doesn¡¯t listen to their instructions, don¡¯t me me for giving harsh punishments.¡± He grabbed Lucifer and chopped him into two. ¡°This will be your fate!¡±

    Lucifer spat out his tongue and rolled his eyes. ¡°This feels nice.¡±

    Seeing the cats shiver in fear, Zhao Yao continued, ¡°Okay, these are the temporary groups. If the leader thinks it is necessary, you can pick more cats.¡±

    Ares and Sphynx cat raised their paws immediately.

    Ares, ¡°Catherine!¡±

    Sphynx, ¡°Ares!¡±

    The two cats looked at each other and Ares looked away immediately in a cold sweat.

    Zhao Yao coughed and exined, ¡°The cats already grouped cannot be re-adjusted. I deliberately matched your powers so that there would be attack, defense, movement and stealth powers. There can¡¯t be any one missing.¡±

    Roly Poly raised his paws and asked eagerly, ¡°Can we bring along Red Packet?¡±

    Red Packet jumped as if he was stepped on. ¡°Don¡¯t bring me along on such a dangerous battle!¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head. ¡°Red Packet is a nonbat cat, let him go.¡±

    Roly Poly sighed, ¡°Aye, if I brought along Red Packet, maybe I could rip off more money.¡±

    Cheese raised his paws and asked, ¡°Can I bring along my family members?¡±

    Rice Cake swept her tail agitatedly and meowed, ¡°I don¡¯t want to go!¡±

    Seeing that the cats had nothing more to add, he asked, ¡°Are there any more problems? Okay, then...¡±

    He woke Edron up and he instructed Edron to call his brothers to arrange for a meetup. They would never expect that Edron had betrayed them and all agreed to meet tomorrow in different parts of Europe.

    Looking at the cities, Zhao Yao rubbed his chin and said, ¡°London, Rome, Berlin, and Istanbul? You guys live really far apart.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the map and said, ¡°So we will split the locations. The final meeting point will be...

    Dust Ball and I have the Double-Headed Vulture, we can return to the country where the Double-Headed Vulture is headquartered anytime. I will go to London while Dust Ball will go to Berlin.

    Elizabeth has the weakest mobility, she will go to Rome.

    Cat Sage has stronger mobility so you will go to Istanbul.

    When everyone is done, we will meet at the Double-Headed Vulture¡¯s headquarters. Any problems?¡±

    All the supercats were ready to go. After hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s question they answered in unison, ¡°No problems¡±.

    Hence, they traveled to Paris¡¯ airport and Zhao Yao sent the different cats into different airnes. Lastly, in the frozen world, he stepped onto the flight to London.

    ...

    An hourter, in Trafalgar Square, London.

    Matcha sat on a long bench and had a bag of bird food beside him. He waved his paws and the bird food spread towards the Square.

    In an instant, a flock of pigeons fought for food around Matcha.

    Matcha shook his butt and tail. He was ready to pounce on the pigeons.

    When Zhao Yao turned around, he rolled his eyes. He grabbed Matcha by the neck and walked away. ¡°How many times must I say that we are not here to feed pigeons.¡±

    He looked around and frowned. ¡°Why is it so hard to find? Where is this?¡±

    After Zhao Yao left his flight, he had followed the address and started looking for the ce. After a while, he realized that he was lost.

    He turned on his phone and tugged the corners of his mouth. ¡°I don¡¯t have international roaming. I can¡¯t check my gps.¡±

    Matcha stuck out his head from Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulders and asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, are you lost?¡±

    ¡°How is that possible?¡± Zhao Yao pointed to a random direction and said, ¡°It is further down that way.¡± As he walked he asked Edron, who was in the Extradimensional Belly, ¡°Hey, do you know your way around London?¡± As he asked, he looked at the map.

    An hourter, Zhao Yao was holding onto the map and walked towards his destination. Then, the sky started to drizzle. He shook his head and sighed, ¡°London weather.¡±

    Zhao Yao activated the Deflective Field which covered a thinyer on his body. It looked like he was drenched by the rain but actually, he was not wet at all.

    He came to a bar and looked up. He then looked at the map again and asked Edron the address. He nodded and thought, ¡°This should be the ce.¡±

    He pushed the door and tried to go in but the door did not move. This was a piece of cake for Zhao Yao as he activated the Deflective Field and walked in. He then realized that the bar was empty. He raised his brows and asked, ¡°Hello?¡±

    However, the bar was still empty and there was no one inside.

    Zhao Yao frowned and sat down. He looked at the time. ¡°Okay, there¡¯s still half an hour left. Let¡¯s wait.¡±

    Matcha jumped down from Zhao Yao¡¯s back and onto the bar table to sniff around.

    Zhao Yao did not restrict him as cats are highly curious. If he did not let Matcha sniff around, it would be worse than killing him.

    When Zhao Yao arrived at the bar, in the apartment across the street, a dozen staff members were looking at the monitor screen in surprise.

    ¡°Who is this guy?¡±

    ¡°Is he here to meet Brandon?¡±

    ¡°ording to our info, Brandon is here to meet his brother Edron. Edron is an Asian?¡±

    ¡°He looks like a tourist.¡± A staff said after looking at Zhao Yao checking his map. ¡°Just like all the other Chinese tourist.¡±

    Their boss, an apostle from Ennd¡¯s Protoss team, Anthony, frowned. ¡°Ignore him. We just have to monitor this meeting.¡±

    A man said hesitatingly, ¡°He may die.¡±

    Anthony said, ¡°This is the first time Edron and Brandon are meeting in the country. The Double-Headed Vulture is a big threat to our country and we spent so much manpower and resources to get one man inside the organization. There is no way we are going to give ourselves away because of a tourist.¡±

    After listening to Anthony, the rest of the group was reluctant. However, they sighed and did not say anything.

    The interests of the country were far more important than the life of a tourist.

    Anthony gazed at the surveince monitor while he was reflecting on the meeting of Double-Headed Vulture¡¯s two chieftains. They had been monitoring the information regarding this international crime syndicate. As Double-Headed Vulture was powerful and wielded massive destructive power, the higher-ups were reluctant to provoke them.

    Two of Karim¡¯s sons, who were also chieftains of the Double-Headed Vulture, appeared simultaneously in London, attracting their attention.

    There was no intention to intervene but with the help of informants, they monitored the situation to ensure the safety of the country.

    ¡°I hope that they are not creating any trouble.¡± Anthony pondered the possibility of trouble in London and felt that it would be a difficult situation to handle.

    Both Edron and Brandon were sons of Karim, who was the leader of the Double-Headed Vulture. ording to informants, they were always apanied by dozens of Dragonhawks, who possessed enough power to destroy a city street.

    If they created trouble and he was able to suppress them, the hundreds of Double-Headed Vulture apostles would take revenge, creating deep unrest in society. They would also be subjected to the criticisms of the internationalmunity and left with lots of loose ends to tie up. Pressure from various branches of the government would fall on their heads.

    With the current political situation in Ennd, none of the leaders were willing to ignite this time bomb.

    Anthony looked at the side and said, ¡°Did we find their whereabouts in the airport or public transit?¡±

    His subordinate shook his head. ¡°No Boss, Brandon and Edron do not use public transit.¡±

    Anthony sighed. After the discovery of superpowers, conventional methods of surveince were no longer effective. Fortunately, their informants had infiltrated Brandon¡¯s unit beforehand, allowing them to monitor the situation at the meeting location.

    One of his subordinates yelled, ¡°The situation is changing!¡±

    ¡°They areing!¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao was sitting in the bar when a loud noise rang from the main door and the wind from outside whistled in. A group of men kicked the door open and swaggered in.

    The leader had a scar on his face and ited hair. His cold gaze swept across Zhao Yao and Matcha, who were by the bar counter. He settled in and frowned. ¡°Is that mante again? He only informed me to bring the men but didn¡¯t divulge anything.¡±

    The remaining 12 men sat down. Compared to his brother Edron, Brandon disliked bringing along normal men.

    As the only son of Karim who was an apostle, he was responsible for the most dangerous drug smuggling operation. Men without superpowers would hinder him, unable to follow his rapid pace.

    Hence, he would only bring along apostles for his operations. He was the strongest apostle in the Dragonhawk unit and one of the seven dragon yers. Men without superpowers were not used in his drug smuggling operations.

    It was rare for him to deploy 12 Dragonhawks all at once.

    A trendy woman with a well-shaped figure nced at Zhao Yao and smiled, ¡°Heh heh, why is there an Asian here? Shall I kill him?¡±

    Brandon remained motionless and reminded her, ¡°Do not kill indiscriminately, chase him out.¡±

    The British who was monitoring the bar situation heaved in relief. ¡°Thank goodness they restrained themselves. The tourist should be fine.¡±

    Anthony gazed intensely at the surveince monitor and said gravely, ¡°Besides Brandon, are his 12 Dragonhawks here? This is different from the intelligence I received.¡±

    ¡°Walrus, Stinger, sma, Chanter, Ghoul, Fire Wolf...¡±

    The aliases of the notorious apostles were being reported and the mood of the British became graver.

    ¡°What are they intending to do? Blow up all of London?¡±

    They were 13 highly dangerous drug smuggling apostles, who considered killing to be as simple as breathing. Their criminal records were stacked higher than amoner¡¯s height.

    These dangerous apostles were located deep in the London downtown area. Once Edron¡¯s men arrived, there would be more than 20 powerful and cruel apostles. Anthony felt as though he had stepped on a barrel of dynamite.

    He hollered, ¡°D*mn, inform ¡®Protoss¡¯ immediately and call MI6. We need reinforcements!¡±

    ¡°Evacuate the immediate residents but do not cause any panic and do not let them know...¡±

    The interior of the condominium burst into chaos.

    Meanwhile, on Brandon¡¯s order, the well-shaped woman walked to the front of Zhao Yao, giggled and spoke in English, ¡°Greetings little boy, we have booked the entire bar. Do you mind leaving?¡±

    Zhao Yao blinked and thought, ¡°D*mn, her ent is so strong, I can¡¯t understand her. The previous man¡¯s English is terrible. I am able to converse very well with Edron but I cannot understand why their English is so bad.¡±

    She thought Zhao Yao did not hear her so she repeated her request.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Are you able to speak slowly?¡±

    She was startled for a while and frowned. ¡°Get lost.¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed out of confusion and asked for a confirmation, ¡°Are you with Brandon? Who is Brandon?¡±

    As he spoke these words, everyone¡¯s face turned serious and was about to act, Zhao Yao, who had the fastest reaction activated Time Freeze.

    ¡°Looking at their reactions, it must be Brandon and his men.¡± Zhao Yao did not have his supercat armor with him. For safety¡¯s sake, after discovering that something was not right, he activated Time Freeze.

    Zhao Yao punched the woman¡¯s face ruthlessly, followed by the second and third punch. He continued by punching the next person.

    ¡°Most of the apostles are like normal people before activating their superpowers. After being punched three times during Time Freeze by Zhao Yao, who possessed superhuman strength, a person will normally pass out.¡± Zhao Yao thought as he continued punching, ¡°Those who do not pass out have strong constitution from their superpowers. I shall activate the power of illusion to knock them out.¡±

    Zhao Yao had given three punches to all the 13 people when Matcha shook his head and said, ¡°Well done little Zhao Yao. I will not intervene in this small skirmish. I am counting on you.¡±

    After finishing his punches, he returned to his original seat and let time resume. He transitioned smoothly from Time Freeze to his power of illusion.

    Deprivation of the five senses!

    He activated the power of illusion¡ªdeprivation of the five senses.

    A boom rang in the air as though there were numerous thunderstorms in the room.

    All the 12 apostles were seriously injured and copsed to the ground. Brandon was badly bruised and passed out on the floor.

    The 13 of them were subjected to the deprivation of the five senses attack.

    Looking at the fallen apostles, Matcha scoffed, ¡°These are rookies and totally unsuitable to be gang members. The most irritating part is that these hoodlums think too highly of themselves.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Yeah, you are talking about yourself.¡±

    Surveying the fallen apostles, Zhao Yao nodded and said, ¡°Settled. Let me check...¡± He walked in front of Brandon and thought, ¡°This appears to be the leader. I shall ask him.¡±

    In the condominium opposite the bar, everyone stared at the surveince monitor in disbelief.

    ¡°Just in a few moments...¡± Anthony inhaled deeply and said, ¡°This Asian is an apostle! Who is he? 13 apostles subdued in a blink of an eye.¡±

    His subordinate said, ¡°His superpower is incredible and overwhelming and yet hard to detect.¡±

    Anthony became worried. ¡°Request for additional reinforcements... This man could be more dangerous than Double-Headed Vulture.¡±

    Zhao Yao stood in front of Brandon and his eyes shed with crimson rays. He kicked him until he regained consciousness.

    Brandon wanted to move, however, he discovered he was paralyzed. He was controlled by Zhao Yao, who ced him standing up. Looking at the masked Asian, his face became gloomy.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t expect my Dragonhawks to be vanquished.¡± Brandon sighed and said calmly, ¡°Who are you? If you want money, I can give you 10 million euros. That should be more than sufficient to regain my life.¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed and thought, ¡°A big catch, I could only ckmail Edron for 35 million euros after tremendous efforts. This man casually agreed on 10 million euros... I have to question him carefully.¡±

    Matcha ran to Zhao Yao¡¯s side and looked excitedly at Brandon. ¡°This man has so much money? Zhao Yao, squeeze him dry!¡±

    Brandon shivered when he noticed the eyes of the Asian turning green. He thought he had said something wrong.

    Zhao Yao grabbed him viciously and said, ¡°10 million is too little, I want more.¡±

    Brandon frowned and said grimly, ¡°150 million, that is my baseline.¡± He gave a cruel smile. ¡°If you do not agree, you will face the endless wrath of the Double-Headed Vulture.¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed sinisterly. ¡°I want all your money.¡±

    Brandon was surprised. His vision blurred and hundreds of butchers appeared and excreted whileughing sinisterly as they advanced towards him. Brandon was terrified.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°If you show regret now, I will spare you. Otherwise, it will be toote once their insanity takes over.¡±

    Brandon looked grave and sneered, ¡°You won¡¯t get any more money. Kill me if you dare. You will be the sworn enemy of the Double-Headed Vulture and you won¡¯t get a cent.¡±

    ¡°Heh heh, trying to act tough.¡± Zhao Yao scoffed at him, however, he was astonished. ¡°This man is not afraid of the illusion? What shall I do? I can¡¯t possibly make the illusion real and I do not have the experience.¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought, ¡°It should be simr to haemorrhoids.¡±

    ¡°That is... haemorrhoids multiplied 10 times!¡±

    Brandon groaned and his face turned pale. His mouth emitted moans of pain.

    Zhao Yao gave an evil smile. ¡°How¡¯s that? Is it unbearable? You will not suffer if you offer all your money.¡±

    Brandon¡¯s forehead pulsated with green veins, his eyes ring at Zhao Yao. ¡°I shall not yield! I will see you in hell!¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao! This prick¡¯s arrogant! Let me help you interrogate him!¡± Matcha charged and kicked him a few times but with no effect. He walked to his buttocks and pulled down his pants.

    Brandon was infuriated and hollered, ¡°Scumbag, how dare you?!¡±

    ¡°Giving up your money?¡±

    ¡°Kill me!¡±

    ¡°Heh heh, it¡¯s not that easy. You won¡¯t be able to die without paying up. I am unable to take any more nonsense from you.¡± Zhao Yao sneered, ¡°Haemorrhoids multiplied 30 times!¡±

    ¡°Oh...¡± Brandon breathed rapidly. His face was as white as a sheet and his eyes showed signs of despair.

    His buttocks popped with a fizz and sttered a huge pool of blood on Matcha, who was standing behind him.

    Matcha looked dazed at the fresh blood on his body. He lifted his head and gazed in astonishment at Zhao Yao.

    ¡°So this man already had haemorrhoids. Did the power of illusion cause the body¡¯s reaction?¡± Zhao Yao covered his nose and stepped back. Looking at Matcha, he said, ¡°It is fine Matcha. You just need to wash it off in the bathroom and you will be as good as new. Go to the bathroom now.¡±

    Zhao Yao noticed a golden exmation mark sh above Brandon¡¯s head.

    ¡°Hmm? Besides being rich, is this man able to provide experience points?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes shed brilliantly. ¡°Haemorrhoids multiplied 60 times!¡±

    Zhao Yao gazed intensely at Brandon¡¯s head. While in excruciating pain, a golden exmation mark shed above his head.

    ¡°Still need a bit more? In that case...¡±

    Haemorrhoids multiplied 100 times!

    Bam!

    Brandon felt weakness all over his body and he lost all sensation in his body. He opened his mouth and thought, ¡°Have I died?¡± Waves of excruciating pain wrecked his entire body. It was so painful that he was unable to speak.

    Zhao Yao looked at his shing exmation mark and asked immediately, ¡°How¡¯s it? Brandon, do you need help? Do you need me to help you?¡±

    Brandon trembled as he mumbled, ¡°Quickly...¡±

    ¡°Ah? Speak clearly, my English is average.¡±

    Brandon became gloomy. He wanted to speak but was too wrecked by the pain to say anything coherent.

    Zhao Yao said solemnly, ¡°You have earned my respect. I am surprised to find such a tough guy in this crime syndicate. I shall have to dial up the intensity.¡±

    ¡°No, please don¡¯t!!¡± Brandon was screaming inside, however, the pain caused his lips to convulse and he was unable to speak. Tears welled up in his eyes as he stared at Zhao Yao, hoping he would understand.

    ¡°ring at me? Fine, let me see how long you can hold.¡± Zhao Yao scoffed at him. ¡°Haemorrhoids multiplied 120 times!¡±

    Pooh! Fresh blood sprayed from his back and sttered on Matcha, who had juste out of the bathroom. He gaped at Zhao Yao and Brandon.

    Meow! It was unbearable for Matcha. He had washed and licked himself clean in the bathroom as the stench was making him dizzy. Now he was sttered again. Was he not being messed around with?

    ¡°I, Matcha, will not suffer such an insult, meow!¡± Matcha bolted to Brandon¡¯s face, positioned both his front and back paws, knelt his buttocks down and straightened his tail¡ª his excretion pose.

    ¡°I shall reciprocate evil with evil!¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes, covered his nose and waved his hand, saying, ¡°Enough, do not create trouble. If you excrete on his face, how will I question him? Go and wash yourself.¡±

    ¡°Why can¡¯t I treat him the way he treated me?¡± Matcha shouted indignantly, ¡°Are you bullying me because I am a cat?¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed and said, ¡°Do not be impulsive Matcha. Wash yourself first before it dries, otherwise, it won¡¯t be easy to clean.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Brandon and said, ¡°If you do notply, the orange cat is going excrete in your mouth.¡±

    Zhao Yao dispelled his power of illusion, leaving only control of Brandon¡¯s body. ¡°I am asking you again, do you need help? Are you giving up your money?¡±

    Without the excruciating pain, Brandon nodded and said, ¡°Yes, yes, yes, I will give you any amount as long as you spare me the agony.¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed sinisterly and looked at the golden exmation mark above Brandon¡¯s head. ¡°I will not cheat your money as I am a renowned fair person. Let me do something for you and the money will be taken as my reward.¡±

    After going through the excruciating pain, Brandon was terrified after listening to Zhao Yao as he thought it was sarcasm and said, ¡°It is not required. I am giving my money willingly. I do not need your help.¡±

    ¡°No, if you are in trouble, I will help you to the fullest of my capability. Just tell me what to do.¡±

    ¡°No, it is not required. Just ept my money.¡±

    Zhao Yao became gloomy when Brandon consistently rejected his help. He said in anger, ¡°D*mn, just tell me what to do before I cut off your hands and legs.¡±

    Brandon trembled and said in earnest, ¡°Are you able to send all of us to the rural areas outside London? I am concerned the police will capture us in our current state.¡±

    Mission: Escort Criminals

    Mission Objective: Escort Brandon and his men to the rural areas outside London

    Reward: 500 experience points.

    Mission Penalty: None.

    Zhao Yao was pleased to see the mission and caressed Brandon¡¯s head, saying, ¡°Excellent, why are you so formal with me? Just tell me directly how I can help you.¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, inside the condominium, everyone who gazed at the surveince monitor looked at each other dumbfounded.

    ¡°What is he doing?¡±

    ¡°Looks like he is ckmailing Brandon.¡±

    ¡°What is he thinking? ckmailing one of the world¡¯s most terrifying criminals?¡±

    Anthony looked at the moaning Brandon and said, ¡°This Asian is torturing Brandon, who is a renowned tough guy. I heard that he endured three hours of battle even after having suffered a fracture in his left thigh. The superpower of the Asian seems to be torturing Brandon to such a state. He is extremely ruthless.¡±

    Everyone was astonished when Brandon¡¯s back bled profusely.

    Anthony gave a newbel to the masked Asian. ¡°Extremely ruthless, irrational, sadistic, and delusional. I suspect the target is a nutcase.¡±

    One of his subordinates said, ¡°Boss, reinforcements have arrived.¡±

    ...

    Inside the bar, popping sounds rang and four tear-gas canisters broke through the ss onto the floor.

    ¡°Hmm?¡± Zhao Yao raised his brow and activated his deprivation of five senses superpower. The power of illusion engulfed both the bar and its exterior, causing Brandon and his men to pass out.

    Zhao Yao switched over to the Time Freeze superpower.

    It was less than a second before his superpowers were activated, so thended canisters emitted a slight mist.

    Zhao Yao surveyed the still environment and gazed at the tear-gas canisters, thinking, ¡°Smoke grenade? Who has arrived?¡±

    Zhao Yao had about 96 seconds during Time Freeze so he was casual in his actions.

    He walked through the door and saw on the nearby opposite streets, numerousbat-equipped Special Forces members frozen in mid-air. They must have copsed due to the deprivation of their five senses and frozen in mid-air by Time Freeze.

    Besides normal Special Forces members, Zhao Yao saw numerousbat-equipped men looking in the direction of the bar.

    ¡°There were so many men here and I didn¡¯t notice them? I must have been too focused on helping Brandon just now.¡±

    Looking at the bright spots in their hands, Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Apostles? Judging from their equipment, are they from the government?¡±

    Zhao Yao walked around the fallen apostles and thought, ¡°Are you going after me? Not possible as I have just arrived. Must be the Double-Headed Vulture. However, I cannot let them fall into your hands.¡±

    ¡°Will they pursue me after Time Freeze?¡± Zhao Yao made a decision. ¡°I have to think of a way to stop their pursuit.¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately stripped the government members naked including their underwear.

    ¡°Ok, settled.¡± Zhao Yao carried the clothing, entered the bar and tossed all of them into the bathroom. Even if they wanted to get their clothing back, they would not be able to find them.

    In the bathroom, Zhao Yao saw Matcha licking and cursing at the same time. ¡°Why is there a stoppage of water? With so much blood, how am I going to lick myself clean? London is such a poor city, can¡¯t even guarantee good water supply?¡±

    Zhao Yao raised his brows and decided not to exin anything to Matcha. He was not going to wait for him to clean up.

    He grabbed some ropes from the bar counter and tied Brandon and his men. Then he dragged them out.

    After a few steps, he turned his head and shouted, ¡°Matcha, I am leaving, are you done?¡±

    Matcha fumed as he walked out, leaving a trace of fresh blood.

    When time resumed, the British apostles and Special Forces members eximed in shock.

    First, they experienced a ckout and copsed to the ground. After Zhao Yao left, they recovered their senses and found that they were all stripped naked.

    After the exmations of shock, they self-consciously retreated and found ces to hide.

    The lead ¡®Protoss¡¯ apostle, Richard, hollered, ¡°Who did this?¡±

    They borrowed clothing and changed rapidly. Though they were efficient, five minutes had psed.

    When they charged into the bar, all the criminals were missing, leaving pools of blood and the smell of blood in the air.

    Richard knelt down and touched the fresh blood. ¡°Where did the bloode from?¡± He pressed his ear microphone and said, ¡°Anthony, do you see anything on the surveince monitor?¡±

    On Anthony¡¯s side, everyone gazed at the monitor. No matter how much they rewound or fast-forwarded, they only witnessed the vanishing of the people in the bar and appearance of the blood traces. They could not figure out what happened.

    Anthony said, ¡°They disappeared likely due to a superpower that killed off all the Double-Headed Vulture members.¡±

    Richard looked at the cat paw prints and said, ¡°I found some trails. We are going to investigate. Activate the nearby surveince monitors and see if you are able to find them.¡±

    ...

    When time resumed, Zhao Yao appeared on a street a few kilometers away, with the 13 bound apostles and an orange cat full of blood.

    The passers-by gave shrill screams when they saw the bloody orange cat. Someone took out a cell phone and took pictures as evidence of cat torture.

    Zhao Yao looked at the panicked crowd and shook his head at Matcha. Fortunately, he wore a mask, however, they were too noticeable so they could not just leave.

    After much thought, there was only a solution.

    Zhao Yao activated his Extradimensional Belly and set up a Dimension Portal in front of him. The original Dimension Portal in the cat caf¨¦ vanished.

    The three Dimension Portals were located in the Double-Headed Vulture¡¯s home country, on Cat Ind and in front of Zhao Yao.

    The crowd witnessed all of them walk into the Dimension Portal and vanish.

    Once they were inside the Extradimensional Belly, Zhao Yao looked at Matcha and said, ¡°Wash yourself immediately, you stink.¡±

    All the surrounding supercats looked in shock at Matcha.

    Old Cat came up and eximed, ¡°Sir George!¡± He typed furiously on the cell phone and raised it up, revealing the words, ¡°Sir George! How are you? Who injured you?¡±

    As Old Cat was prohibited from speaking, he was well versed in his typing skills and was considered the fastest in Cat Nation.

    Matcha frowned and wanted to exin that the blood was not his but discovered that the supercats had surrounded him.

    The current girlfriend of Roly Poly, Lion Head, who used to be Cat King of the North at Jianghai university, rushed to the front of Matcha. Seeing his pitiful state, she covered her mouth and asked with concern, ¡°Matcha, why are you seriously injured? Is Roly Poly seriously injured too?¡±

    Airne looked in astonishment at Matcha and said, ¡°Was it a difficult battle? Matcha, I am changing my opinion of you.¡±

    Lucifer was sprawled on the ground and gazed intensely at Matcha. He whispered, ¡°I am so envious...¡±

    Tears welled up in Uncle Egg¡¯s eyes as he patted Matcha¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°It was hard on you, George.¡±

    Just as Matcha was about to say, ¡°The blood is not mine¡±, he saw the admiration, concern, and recognition in their faces. He kept his wits and immediately changed his tone. He groaned and copsed to the ground.

    Old Cat immediately pulled him up, while his other hand typed furiously on the cell phone. He sent, ¡°George? Are you alright?¡±

    Under the concerned gazes of the supercats, Matcha exined his grievances, ¡°In order to save Zhao Yao, I blocked our enemy¡¯s Xuanming¡¯s Deadly Palm attack and now the effects of the toxin are wrecking my body.¡±

    ¡°George! Why? Why is Heaven so unfair?¡± Old Cat shouted and put Matcha on the ground slowly.

    Matcha opened his mouth and vomited arge amount of saliva.

    Lightning eximed, ¡°Matcha!¡±

    Cannon shouted, ¡°Matcha, you will be alright!¡±

    Fish Ballmented, ¡°Xuanming¡¯s Deadly Palm is real!¡±

    Matcha gave a wry grin and said, ¡°The deadly toxin has invaded my vital organs. My body will start to shrivel and I will be permanently paralyzed.¡±

    ¡°How did such a thing happen?¡± Diana¡¯s eyes turned red and tears dropped uncontrobly.

    The other supercats were all grieving and they were ready to forgive Matcha¡¯s previous misgivings.

    Lightning pped his paw and said furiously, ¡°Disgusting, is there nothing we can do?¡±

    Matcha suddenly groaned and all the cats felt their hearts ache. He said slowly, ¡°Old Cat, help me to my throne. I would like to rest on my familiar spot.¡±

    Old Cat nodded in agreement. All the supercats surrounded Matcha as Old Cat helped him to the massage chair.

    Once seated, Matcha looked at the crowd and said feebly, ¡°Lightning, I am about to die. Please return the 50 dors that you owed me.¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes.¡± Lightning cried as he took out his cell phone. ¡°I will pay you back now. Well... wait, when did I owe you 50 dors?¡± When the surrounding supercats red at him with disdain, Lightning sobbed as he made the payment.

    Matcha¡¯s eyes brightened and looked at Airne, saying, ¡°Airne, you are the best leader of the royal cat guards. I am dying soon. Would you mind letting me lead the royal cat guards for myst day?¡±

    Airne nodded in sorrow. ¡°Today, you are the leader of the royal cat guards. You will always be our boss.¡±

    Matcha smiled in peace and looked at Fish Ball, who was all in tears and he said, ¡°I am not as handsome as you. I concede.¡±

    Matcha nodded in satisfaction and thought, ¡°I am currently... the God.¡± He swept his gaze at Elizabeth¡¯s sister, the Ragdoll cat Diana.

    Matcha said to Diana, ¡°Diana, I have not slept with a Ragdoll cat before. I am dying, would you mind sleeping with me?¡±

    Diana was speechless.

    After a few seconds of silence, Diana said, ¡°You can go directly to hell.¡±

    Matcha groaned at Diana¡¯s answer and held his hand to the chest. ¡°Pain! Ah! The toxin is attacking my heart.¡±

    Old Cat red at Diana as he typed furiously on the cell phone that said, ¡°How could you say such things to Sir George? He is dying.¡±

    ¡°Yes, I agree.¡±

    ¡°Matcha suffered a serious injury in order to protect Zhao Yao.¡±

    ¡°Have more tact even if you are unwilling.¡±

    Diana turned her head out of guilt and kept quiet.

    Matcha waved and said feebly, ¡°Do not me Diana. The fact that she doesn¡¯t want to sleep with a dying cat is perfectly normal. I am experiencing excruciating pain in my vital organs so I am unable to sleep with her. I am overestimating myself.¡±

    The cats gazed at Matcha with concern as hey down slowly. ¡°Let me have my final moments on this throne.¡±

    Meow! Looking at Matcha¡¯s pitiful state, all the cats purred in grief.

    Zhao Yao looked at the gathering of the cats and rolled his eyes, thinking, ¡°Matcha should stay at home so as not to hinder me.¡±

    He noticed the unconscious Brandon and his men. ¡°I shall bring them to the rural areas and then extort money from them.¡±

    Zhao Yao was aware that the British government had their eyes on Brandon and thought, ¡°We will be easily discovered if I bring them to retrieve the money.¡±

    He looked at his avable superpowers and the supercats and decided that the safest option was to use the Dimension Portal for transportation.

    However, it required the usage of at least two Dimension Portals to arrive at a targeted location.

    ¡°I have one in London, on Cat Ind, and in Double-Headed Vulture¡¯s home country.¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought, ¡°If I travel using the Dimension Portal in London, I will have to give up either the Cat Ind or the Double-Headed Vulture¡¯s Dimension Portal.¡±

    Zhao Yao weighed the pros and cons of different options and his gaze suddenly flickered. ¡°Wait... There is another solution.¡± He turned his head and looked at Gaia, who was yingputer games.

    Gaia shivered as though she felt an ill omen.

    A few minutester, Zhao Yao held Gaia in one hand and flew into the London subway. He traveled to the rural areas of London and spat out Brandon and his men. Brandon woke up.

    Looking at the dazed Brandon, Zhao Yao said, ¡°Okay, I have sent you to the rural areas. Take a look and check.¡±

    Brandon looked surprised at the surroundings and nodded. ¡°No problem, this ce is good.¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled. ¡°It is time you pay up.¡±

    After being tortured previously, Brandon paid without dy. He transferred all his avable funds to Zhao Yao¡¯s ount via his cell phone.

    ¡°Let me check.¡± Zhao Yao pondered and woke up 12 of Brandon¡¯s men.

    ¡°Good, give up all your money.¡±

    Realizing that he was an Asian stranger and that they were in a different environment, they looked wary and red at Zhao Yao when he demanded money.

    Brandon wanted to stop them but he was paralyzed. He understood that Zhao Yao wanted him to remain silent because he wanted to teach his men a lesson.

    Zhao Yao also knew that without a good lesson, Brandon¡¯s men would notply. Hence, he was going to give them a ruthless lesson so that they would willingly give up their money, thus saving lots of time.

    The well-shaped woman who wanted to chase Zhao Yao out of the bar, squinted her eyes and eximed, ¡°It¡¯s you?¡±

    A burly man was impatient and swung his arms impulsively. Both arms transformed into metal des and shed Zhao Yao. In the next instant, he screamed in agony and convulsed on the ground.

    Zhao Yao grabbed the air and a shiny sword appeared in his hand. He shed viciously towards his left and reflection of the sword stretched like a white energy field, emitting a terrifying aura.

    When everyone opened their eyes to the ring reflection of the sword, they heard violent explosions and discovered a kilometer long and a few hundred meters deep ravine, originating from the left of Zhao Yao¡¯s location.

    The surrounding terrain was badly damaged. Roads copsed, trees fell, houses were demolished and deep fissures appeared everywhere on the ground.

    Zhao smiled at the gaping crowd. ¡°Giving up your money?¡±

    The 12 apostles transferred their money to his ount.

    However, Zhao Yao was not satisfied. He brought them to the bank and emptied their ounts. He was very pleased when he knocked them unconscious and tossed them into the Dimension Portal. After that, he left with Brandon.

    Shortly after, more than twenty ck sedans surrounded the bank. Numerous ¡®Protoss¡¯ apostles rushed in and discovered that they had left.

    The leader, Richard, said grimly, ¡°What did they do? Where were they heading? Check the surveince monitors!!¡±

    Zhao Yao continued their journey via the subway. Brandon brought him to their secret hideout in London and gave up all his cash and diamonds.

    After all this trouble, Zhao Yao obtained 1000 experience points for the escort mission and 80 million euros. After adding Edron¡¯s share, it was a total of 115.5 million Euros.

    The sum was still a far cry from the required 20 billion US dors that had to be obtained from the Double-Headed Vulture.

    Most of the wealth was held by the leader, Karim. Zhao Yao was aware that he would not reach the target before exterminating theirir.

    He was not anxious. It was important to enjoy the process.

    Zhao Yao grabbed Brandon¡¯s head and bashed it against the ground.

    Brandon shouted anxiously, ¡°I had given you all my money!¡±

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°What about the supercats?¡±

    Brandon said bitterly, ¡°You can¡¯t do that! The supercats are my life! My father will kill me if I lose them.¡±

    ¡°Heh heh, I will kill you now and I assure you that it is a million times more painful than being killed by your father.¡±

    Brandon looked in sorrow at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°You make better devils than us.¡±

    Brandon epted his fate. After being robbed of his money and supercats, he and his 12 men stopped breathing and Zhao Yao abandoned them at the entrance of the London police station.

    ¡°This is a direct challenge!¡±

    ¡°We must catch him!¡±

    ¡°This concerns the reputation of the British Empire!¡±

    After receiving the 13 corpses, the high level British officials and the ¡®Protoss¡¯ unit flew into a terrible rage.

    ...

    In Berlin, in a ballroom.

    All the guests screamed in terror as they fled. Sphynx cat tossed out thest of the Dragonhawks, who broke through the ss andnded on the street a few thousand meters away, causing exmations of shock from passers-by.

    Dustball showed her cell phone to the man in front of her. The phone said, ¡°Give up your money, supercats, and catmint.¡±

    The man raised both his hands up anxiously, his mind recalling how his subordinate was tossed far away by Sphynx cat. He was surprised by the words on the cell phone and replied, ¡°Catmint? I do not have catmint.¡±

    ¡°No catmint?¡± Dustball red at the man.

    ...

    In Rome, in a hotel room.

    Numerous apostles were passed out on the ground. Elizabeth was licking her ice cream and staring at the man in front of her as she controlled his hearing. ¡°Are you able to transfer all the money to me?¡±

    In the man¡¯s eyes, a strange creature with Zhao Yao¡¯s face, twelve hands and seven legs, was emitting ck steam and eating raw humans and animals while taking money from him.

    A few momentster, Cheese brought Ares and Elizabeth into the sky and flew towards their arranged location.

    ...

    In the sky of Istanbul.

    Roly Poly and Catherine were held in the mouth of the Tri-headed Golden Dragon, which Cat Sage had transformed into.

    The Tri-headed Golden Dragon was made invisible by Roly Poly. It circled the burning factory before flying towards the arranged location.

    Roly Poly was trembling with excitement as he had never seen so much money before.

    He said excitedly to two cats, ¡°We collected 50 million Euros, of which 10 million are to be given to Zhao Yao. Shall we share the remaining 40 million?¡±

    ...

    The British discovered that they were not the only country that was implicated in the Double-Headed Vulture incident. France, Germany, Italy, and Turkey had all encountered supernatural incidents where Double-Headed Vulture¡¯s interests in their countries were exterminated by unknown superpowers, causing a series of panic.

    The apostles of the five nations exchanged intelligence. They swore to capture the unknown perpetrator.

    The power possessed by the unknown perpetrator was enormous. The more they investigated the more startled they became.

    ¡°They possessed several potent superpowers.¡±

    ¡°Pardon my frankness, any one of the superpowers is able to overthrow a country.¡±

    ¡°We can¡¯t let them off. We have to capture them and find their supercats. Otherwise they will be the next Double-Headed Vulture. No, they will be even more dangerous than that.¡±

    ¡°We have no intelligence on their background, identities, and locations. They possessed superpowers that hide their trails. The intelligence that we have gathered so far is... he loves money and the Asian is extremely ruthless, irrational, and able to torture a tough guy until he yielded like a sheep.¡±

    ¡°Everyone, please wait a moment... We have found them.¡±

    ...

    The two groups led by Zhao Yao and Dust Ball had arrived at the arranged location first because they had ess to the Dimension Portals.

    Elizabeth was the nearest to the arranged location. With the help of Cheese¡¯s flying ability, they traversed the Mediterranean sea and arrived third.

    Zhao Yao looked at the time on the cell phone and frowned. ¡°Cat Sage, Roly Poly and the rest... are slow.¡± After thinking a bit, he went into the Dimension Portal to y a round ofputer games.

    Elizabeth, Ares, Sphynx cat surrounded the bloody Matcha.

    Elizabeth was shocked and asked, ¡°Matcha! How... how are you?¡±

    ¡°No problem.¡± Matcha coughed heavily after speaking. He gazed at the blood on his paw and said, ¡°In the London battle, we met a strong opponent. To defeat the enemy, I suffered serious injury. Currently the toxin is attacking my heart and my body is shriveling. My lower part of the body is in paralysis, hence I have to depend on Diana to feed me...¡±

    Matcha coughed again.

    Elizabeth gaped as Ares looked in astonishment at Matcha and patted his shoulder, saying, ¡°Matcha, you...¡±

    Matcha shook his head and said, ¡°That is my duty. Apologies, I am unable to assist you in future battles. All of you have to do your best.¡±

    ¡°Matcha!¡± Elizabeth¡¯s eyes turned red and she turned her head in sorrow.

    Ares sighed and lowered his head.

    Sphynx cat looked at Matcha with suspicion and knocked on his leg. ¡°Are you really in paralysis?¡±

    Matcha nodded and wanted to speak. Instead, he lifted his head and red at Sphynx cat.

    Sphynx cat bit a clump of fur from Matcha¡¯s leg and lifted his head to observe Matcha¡¯s wretched face. He asked in curiosity, ¡°What? Is it painful?¡±

    ¡°Painful? How can I feel pain?¡± Matcha endured the great pain and repressed swinging his tail. He said casually, ¡°I am unable to feel the lower part of my body. Even if you use a knife to stab... Hey!¡±

    Sphynx cat extended his ws and posed them on Matcha¡¯s meat pad. Matcha shouted in a shrill voice, ¡°What are you doing? Stop, are you bullying a handicapped cat?!¡±

    Elizabeth frowned and said, ¡°Sphynx cat, Matcha is in a terrible state. Do not bully him.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Ares looked at the bloody Matcha and said, ¡°Matcha, let me lick the blood off your body. It is starting to stink.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Matcha replied with a resolute expression, ¡°Zhao Yao is going to attack the Double-Headed Vulture headquarters, you must be well prepared. Do not be like me...¡± Matcha broke into a heavy cough.

    ¡°Matcha...¡± Elizabeth covered her mouth and said, ¡°I have wronged you in the past.¡±

    Ares patted Matcha¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°From now on, we are brothers.¡±

    Matcha thought, ¡°If I go into acting... I might win an Oscar.¡±

    Sphynx cat narrowed his eyes and thought, ¡°This cat doesn¡¯t seem like he is seriously injured.¡±

    ...

    In the sky, at a distance of more than ten kilometers away from the arranged location, the invisible Tri-headed Golden Dragon flew rapidly and left a wind vortex behind it.

    Roly Poly, who was sitting in the Dragon¡¯s mouth, asked with concern, ¡°How is it? Are they still following us?¡±

    The Tri-headed Golden Dragon turned his head to look and frowned. ¡°They are still following us. They must have radar or infra-red imaging devices that can detect us.¡±

    Hundreds of meters behind the Tri-headed Golden Dragon were two fighter nes hot on its trail.

    10 more fighter nes approached from a distance. They coordinated with the other two fighter nes to surround the Tri-headed Golden Dragon, intending to force him to surrender.

    Cat Sage frowned at the approaching fighter nes. He extended his wings and elerated, leaving a vortex of wind behind him.

    The 12 fighter nes were hot on the trails of the Tri-headed Golden Dragon and their engines emitted thunderous howls. No matter how much Cat Sage elerated, climbed or dived, he was unable to shake off the pursuers.

    Roly Poly felt dizzy and nauseous after a series of high speed maneuvers by Cat Sage and said, ¡°Stop, stop immediately. I am going to vomit.¡±

    Cat Sage resumed his cruising speed and said grimly, ¡°I can¡¯t shake them off. Their speeds are faster than mine.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Roly Poly was worried, ¡°What shall we do? Are you able to defeat them?¡±

    The Tri-headed Golden Dragon squinted his eyes and dived towards one of the fighter nes. The fighter ne shadowed his movements and dodged rapidly, giving him no chance to get near.

    Both the dragon and the fighter nes were of different size and weight. The Tri-headed Golden Dragon belonged to the category of an airliner, which was sturdy and with greater horsepower. However, its speed and agility were much inferior to these supersonic fighter nes.

    Cat Sage looked at their distances and felt perplexed. ¡°No way, they are faster and more agile. At this distance, I am unable to attack them. I have no chance of defeating them in the air. Perhaps if I hide onnd, I may be able to do sneak attacks.¡±

    The Tri-headed Golden Dragon¡¯s airbat capability was considered the highest in the animal kingdom. When faced with these specialized airborne-killing machines invented by the humans, the Tri-headed Golden Dragon was far inferior.

    He was unable to catch up with the nes. The fireballs, acid, and frost wind spat from his mouth were unable to reach more than a few hundred meters. Moreover, they were easily evaded by the agile fighter nes.

    The enemy was able to use cannons and missiles to hit him over a distance of a few hundred meters.

    The strongest capability of the Tri-headed Golden Dragon was closebat. When faced with armored cars, tanks and armored soldiers, he could rely on his strong scale armor and bash them into smithereens.

    He was entirely helpless against these supersonic fighter nes as he was unable to close in and engage in closebat.

    Roly Poly was scared stiff and he said, ¡°What are we going to do? Once we hide onnd, aren¡¯t we unable to escape? Yes, where is Catherine? Can¡¯t she make them fall asleep?¡±

    Catherine shook her head. ¡°It is too far and I am too small. I will need to remove my invisibility. They aren¡¯t able to see me clearly at this distance.¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t be a flying target for them.¡± Cat Sage said, ¡°If I don¡¯t make a decision, they will open fire.¡±

    Roly Poly trembled and said, ¡°What are we going to do? What are we going to do? We will lose if we fight andnding on ground is even more dangerous.¡±

    As Roly Poly was hesitating, Catherine pped his head and chided, ¡°Good for nothing.¡± She said fiercely to Cat Sage, ¡°Let¡¯snd, Sage. We will lose in the airbat,nding on ground is our only option.¡±

    Cat Sage nodded and abruptly decelerated. He plummeted like a huge stone towards the ground.

    The 12 fighter nes immediately swerved sharply and chased after Cat Sage.

    The loudspeakers on the fighter nes broadcast a warning, ¡°Stop your descent, stop your descent immediately. We will open fire.¡±

    At such a high altitude and speed, the broadcast was muffled. Cat Sage would have ignored it even if he heard it. He pped his wings and elerated towards the ground.

    The 12 fighter nes nose-dived and were very close to the ground when they opened fire. Millions of metal bullets shot towards the Tri-headed Golden Dragon.

    Therge body became an excellent target. The scale armor was shredded along with the flesh underneath. The Tri-headed Golden Dragon bellowed in pain while fanning its wings to elerate and dodge the attacks of the fighter nes.

    The armor, hide and bone structure of the Tri-headed Golden Dragon were sturdy. After numerous evasions, he crashnded into the forested mountains. After twisting his body, he transformed into a tiger.

    The thermal imaging of the Tri-headed Golden Dragon disappeared from their screens and the 12 fighter nes circled for a while and fired rockets into the forests below.

    In the bellowing smoke and fiery mes, Cat Sage, in the guise of a tiger, held Roly Poly and Catherine in his mouth and fled deep into the forest.

    As they were heaving in relief, the sky rang with multiple explosions.

    The 12 fighter nes followed their trails and fired at them blindly with cannons and rockets.

    Bam! The concussion from the rocket explosions hit the tiger and he flew in the air and crashed on top of the trees, feeling dizzy from the great impact.

    ¡°We can¡¯t go on like this. They must have other ways to track us.¡± Cat Sage gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Perhaps it is a tracking superpower. Let me cover your escape.¡±

    Catherine said, ¡°Sage, you will die.¡±

    Roly Poly was stunned and looked at Cat Sage. ¡°Hey, do not let your imagination run wild. Even if you cover us, how far can we run? Let¡¯s escape together!¡±

    ¡°You can do it.¡± Cat Sage smiled and tossed both cats from his mouth. After a ferocious roar, he transformed back into the Tri-headed Golden Dragon.

    ¡°Sage!¡± Catherine and Roly Poly looked dejectedly at the Tri-headed Golden Dragon.

    The great dragon swung its tail and charged into the sky while bellowing deeply. ¡°Escape immediately. Go to Zhao Yao, he will protect you.¡±

    The 12 fighter nes circled high in the sky and fired a salvo of 12 missiles towards the Tri-headed Golden Dragon.

    At this moment, the entire world became still. The wind stopped howling and the clouds froze in the sky. The golden dragon opened its jaws as though it was bellowing.

    The 12 fighter nes and their missiles froze in mid-air like worms stuck on amber.

    ¡°How troublesome. If I didn¡¯te over to take a look after hearing the explosion a cat would have died.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯szy voice reverberated throughout the frozen time space. He slowly walked over to Cat Sage and patted his scaled armor, ¡°Not bad, your injuries are not too severe.¡±

    He turned to look at the 12 fighter jets afar and frowned, ¡°Fighter jets? How troublesome.¡±

    Zhao Yao realized that this battle would not be an easy one with those 12 fighter jets.

    Simply put, it was not something he could resolve with his normal capabilities.

    The battle distance far exceeded the maximum range of most of his superpowers.

    However, Zhao Yao smiled slightly after seeing the new mission appear.

    Mission: Destroy the enemy jets

    Mission Objective: Destroy the 12 attacking fighter jets.

    Reward: 1000 experience points

    Punishment: None.

    During the time freeze, Zhao Yao first activated a Power Up card which used one out of the 10 diamonds he had saved up for such a long time, reducing the total count to nine diamonds. The time freeze increased almost 10 times, getting a terrifying boost to 120 seconds, which was multiplied 8 times gave a duration of 960 seconds of time freeze.

    ¡°But... this is not enough.¡±

    In the next moment, Zhao Yao returned to the dimension portal nearby and entered the extradimensional belly, taking Cheese, Dust Ball, Rice Cake and Ares together with him as he went back to where Cat Sage was.

    While still under the time freeze, he stuffed a spicy cat strip into both Rice Cake and Ares. Zhao Yao was pleased at the sight of the two cats transforming into the Xuan-Yuan Sword and Murasama de respectively and waved both swords with both hands in delight.

    In the next moment, Zhao Yao switched the power from time freeze to the Deflective Field. To the astonishment of many, the Power Up card-enhanced Deflective Field exploded as vast golden rays thatpletely enveloped the Tri-headed Golden Dragon.

    12 missiles hit against the Deflective Field at once. The impact of the hit was so severe that the missiles turned into massive fire balls that created waves of force field radiating out from all directions, causing the surrounding forest to tremble in the wind.

    However, after the dust had settled, it was evident that the missile attacks had beenpletely deflected. Not only was the Tri-headed Golden Dragon unharmed, a man wearing a mask with a long sword hanging by his waist stood above the heads of the Tri-headed Golden Dragon.

    ¡°The opponent¡¯s aide has appeared, over!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a human! A man appeared on top of the Tri-headed Golden Dragon.¡±

    A superior was heard shouting from the headquarters, ¡°Catch that man! He must be the mastermind.¡±

    Notwithstanding the banter that was happening in the fighter jets and from the headquarters, all sorts of quarrels mixed withmands flew by on the screen panel in the jet.

    Zhao Yao stood atop the dragon heads and spoke calmly as he stared at the fighter jets speeding closer, ¡°Activate supercat armor 3.0 ¨C Super Dragon mode!¡±

    In that instant, the Power Up card-enhanced Deflective Field turned into a golden armor protecting the Tri-headed Golden Dragon. On top of the dragon heads, a golden yellow gemstone formed by the Deflective Field appeared, encasing Zhao Yao.

    At Zhao Yao¡¯smand, Cheese activated his flying ability. The sand and mud around them to rose to form part of the golden armor, sticking so tightly to the armor that it lifted the huge dragon up in the air.

    With the armor, Cheese¡¯s flying ability would be added on to the dragon to increase its flying speed.

    With his powers enhanced by Cheese, Cat Sage let out a deafening roar. The dragon pped its wings before lifting its huge dragon body and shooting into the sky. With the non-stop increase in speed, Cat Sage shot through the air at the speed of light, leaving a trail of shadows and loud bangs of air resistance in his path.

    ¡°So...! So fast!¡± exmations of shock and astonishment were heard from the fighter jets. ¡°This huge dragon can suddenly fly too fast!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s wearing armor too!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯sing!¡±

    Da! Da! Da! Da! Da! Sounds of missiles sting off into the sky rang continuously as they shot across the sky like red shooting stars towards the huge dragon. The huge dragon avoided most of the shots, while the few that managed to hit it had no effect. There was no way the missiles could prate the Power Up card-enhanced Deflective Field.

    Bam! Trails of ck shadows zed through the aircraft, splitting the fighter jet into two, which dropped down from the sky like two pieces of scrap metal.

    The huge dragon sped up once again and reached a higher position in the sky. Under the solid protection of the Deflective Field, Zhao Yao stood atop the dragon head with ease. He nced at the remaining 11 fighter jets not so far from them and said calmly, ¡°Go get them.¡±

    Seeing the huge dragon charge towards them, the fighter jet that was targeted broke into frenzy as it tried to avoid the huge dragon and kept increasing speed and flying upwards.

    The other 10 fighter jets seized the opportunity to strike and aimed with precision at the Tri-headed Golden Dragon, firing missiles after missiles towards it.

    Seeing the approaching missiles, Zhao Yao said calmly, ¡°Don¡¯t avoid them, keep flying.¡± As he said that, he had already took out the Xuan-Yuan Sword and struck more than 30 blows at the iing missiles, each blow striking out a ray of golden force that exceeded 100 meters in range.

    In the blink of an eye, more than 20 missiles turned into fireballs that exploded in midair as the golden sword rays shed them apart.

    At the same time, the targeted fighter jet continued to be pursued by Cat Sage, who tore off the wings of the jet, sending it crashing to the ground below.

    Before the fighter jet crashed, the pilot managed to eject himself from the aircraft with a parachute, eventuallynding safely on the ground. Staring at the huge dragon speeding off not so far away from him, he eximed in fear, ¡°What monster is this? Godzi?¡±

    Witnessing the shocking fighting prowess of the huge dragon and the human atop it, the other 10 fighter jets hesitated at themand from the headquarters. It was as if all of them wanted to retreat temporarily then.

    Zhao Yao ordered, ¡°Dust Ball, Kimchi.¡±

    Dust Ball opened her mouth and spat Kimchi out.

    Kimchi was one of the supercats on the Cat Ind from when Cat Sage reigned over it back then. He was good friends with Cheese and had the ability to control weather conditions. He had once created a thick fog that enveloped the whole Cat Ind.

    However at that moment, Zhao Yao grabbed Kimchi and said, ¡°Stop those few fighter jets.¡±

    Kimchi nodded. The next moment, his eyes turned white as his body floated into the air.

    The sky turned dark in an instant as shes of lightning appeared in the sky.

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°Why did the weather worsen all of a sudden!¡±

    ¡°Watch out! It¡¯s a tornado!¡±

    To their astonishment, a total of seven 5000 meter high tornados rushed into the sky like five ck dragons, charging towards the crowd of fighter jets.

    ¡°No! The wind is too strong!¡±

    ¡°Retreat! Retreat immediately!¡±

    Bam! A sh of lightning cut across the sky, striking one fighter jet directly as it trembled in a knee-jerk reaction.

    Zhao Yao waspletely nonchnt about the terrible weather condition and stood firmly atop the dragon heads as he charged right into the fighter jets.

    Even with a distance of a few hundred meters, the Deflective Field shot the Murasama de with just the pointing of the de by Zhao Yao. The silver de turned into a silver arc light that swept through the faraway fighter jet.

    When the Murasama de returned to Zhao Yao under the control of the Deflective Field, the fighter jet had already been split into half and crashed down to the ground.

    With that, the huge dragon did not need to physically fight the fighter jets. As long as it was within a range of around 300 meters, Zhao Yao just had to point at the fighter jet and it would split it into half in a sh of silver light, as the Deflective Field could send and receive the Murasama de with ease.

    ¡°He¡¯s catching up!¡±

    ¡°Beware of that silver light.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the weather?¡±

    ¡°No, we can¡¯t escape.¡±

    ¡°The missile has been stopped again.¡±

    ¡°Reinforcements, we need reinforcements!¡±

    As thest fighter jet lost contact, the whole headquarters sank into a strange silence.

    The adjutant officer walked to themander¡¯s side and said, ¡°Sir, the entire force...¡±

    Themander asked, ¡°How far away is the nearest fighter jet? How long will it take to reach them?¡±

    ¡°At least half an hour, Sir,¡± the adjutant officer replied, ¡°And we still have not managed to break through the opponent¡¯s superpowers. Our usual weapons have no effect on him.¡±

    Themander shut his eyes and exhaled slowly. ¡°I understand. Report to the higher ups that we have failed our mission. The opponent... the opponent has the power to fight a normal army.¡±

    After the adjutant officer left, themander remained silent for a moment. He stared at the screenshot of the Tri-headed Golden Dragon d in armor flying in midair, with the blurred image of a man standing on top of the dragon heads.

    Upon receiving news of the utter defeat of the 12 supersonic fighter jets, all the European authorities went into a state of panic.

    ¡°Superpowers can reach that level of prowess?¡±

    ¡°This mastermind is a threat to the security of the whole of Europe.¡±

    ¡°It must be the Americans.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s China¡¯s secret weapon!¡±

    ¡°Investigate them. Find out who they are!¡±

    ¡°We must organize and set up a new unit to deal with these superlives.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s actions over the past few days caused an invisible wave of panic to spread throughout the world, with Europe as its starting point.

    Various countries and forces expanded their investments and resources into the creation of superpowers. Many powers that had been considered dangerous were incorporated into the field once again and subjected to use by humans.

    Research projects on weapons for singr attacks that were initially cast aside because of their huge investment costs and narrow range of uses were brought up once again by various countries.

    The incident could be said to have had a great impact on the course of world history.

    However, Zhao Yao, the person who started all of this, was totally ignorant about all that was about to happen. He stared in satisfaction at the 1000 experience points he gained frompleting the mission.

    He ordered Cat Sage tond. Uponnding, he saw Roly Poly and Catherine running towards them as he remained standing on top of the golden dragonheads. Both cats looked worn down with lost fur and scratches on their bodies. Their eyes lit up when they saw the huge golden dragon.

    ¡°So cool!¡± Roly Poly stared at the huge dragon and Zhao Yao stood on top of it as he thought expectantly, ¡°If I could sit on top of Cat Sage¡¯s head and fly across the sky that would be awesome.¡±

    Catherine sighed out of relief. ¡°Cat Sage, are you alright?¡±

    Cat Sage nodded and replied happily, ¡°My condition now has never been better.¡±

    Zhao Yao waved and said, ¡°Come up, let¡¯s just fight our way there.¡±

    Roly Poly and Catherine jumped on the dragon¡¯s tail and ran all the way up to the dragon¡¯s head before Dust Ball swallowed them into her stomach.

    The Tri-headed Golden Dragon stared at pilots slowlynding with their parachutes, blinking his dragon eyes as he asked, ¡°Should we kill them?¡±

    ¡°No need, let¡¯s not waste time and go straight to the Double-Headed Vulture headquarters.¡± Zhao Yao checked the time and continued, ¡°I don¡¯t want to waste more diamonds.¡±

    His Power Up card had a time limit to it.

    Hence, the Tri-headed Golden Dragon burst off into the sky once again and headed towards the Double-Headed Vulture headquarters.

    ...

    In a vige deep in some mountains, sentinels stood guard everywhere. There were fully armed criminals all around. This was the base camp of the Double-Headed Vulture.

    Thousands of tons of drugs were stored in the vige. Thousands of daily horror stories throughout Europe could be said to have originated here.

    More than 50 Dragonhawk apostles and over 500 rogue apostles trained to kill and do all sorts of evil deeds were stationed in the vige perennially.

    At that moment, in a courtyard within the vige, a fat old man with long hair was lying on a deck chair. His face was full of rage.

    He screamed out in English, ¡°Where¡¯s my son? Where did they go?¡±

    A few hours earlier, Karim realized that he lost all contact with his five sons¡¯ most powerful allies. He was like an enraged lion and all the subordinates around him trembled in fear.

    A feminine man walked over to Karim andforted him, ¡°Uncle, don¡¯t worry. This might just be a coincidence. Edron and the rest are in a precarious situation so it¡¯s not surprising that ourmunication got cut off temporarily.¡±

    The person speaking was Charles, the strongest apostle among the seven Dragon yers in Dragonhawk.

    Upon seeing Charles, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Karim calmed down as well and said to Charles, ¡°But this is too much of a coincidence. Five of your cousins lost contact with us at once, I¡¯m afraid someone is after us.¡±

    ¡°Rx, Uncle,¡± Charles smiled, ¡°I already implemented martialw in the vige. The stocks in the inventory are being reorganized as well. I have gathered all the members of Dragonhawk in the vige and stationed all soldiers on guard, raising our defense to the highest level. Even if the government sends an army here, we will be able to retreat with ease.¡±

    Karim patted Charles¡¯ shoulder and said, ¡°Great, Charles, I don¡¯t need to worry with you around.¡±

    At that moment, noises were heard from outside. Two apostles walked in grabbing a young man in their hands as they said to Karim, ¡°My Lord, this guy was secretly making a phone call just now.¡±

    The young man who was dragged in let out a breath as he sighed in his heart, ¡°D*mn, why did that stupid government official suddenly contact me just now. I took so many pains to infiltrate into this ce. It wasn¡¯t all that easy for me either.¡±

    Looking at the surrounding armed rogue apostles and the Dragonhawk apostles, the young man lost hope. ¡°If only I had my superpower, I might still be able to escape then. Looking at the situation now, I will die for sure.¡±

    An apostle can only borrow a power for 24 hours. Hence, though he was an apostle as well, he was not able to borrow a superpower after infiltrating into the vige.

    Initially, he wanted to find a chance to expose his potential as an apostle to join the Dragonhawk unit in Double-Headed Vulture. However, he did not expect the officer to contact him suddenly that day. The officer told him that someone was after the Double-Headed Vulture. Karim¡¯s five sons had already been killed and the opponent would attack the vige anytime then so he should seize the opportunity to gather as much information about the opponent as possible.

    ¡°B*stard, didn¡¯t I tell him not to contact me unless it¡¯s urgent? Now I¡¯m really going to die.¡±

    Karim took over the thing handed to him by his subordinate and asked coldly, ¡°A satellite phone? Which country¡¯s police are you from?¡±

    The young man smiled, ¡°This is a satellite phone? I picked it up somewhere. I don¡¯t know what function it has.¡±

    Karim said calmly, ¡°Break one of his legs.¡±

    As he saw an apostle walk over, the young man started rambling nervously, ¡°It¡¯s not my phone. It really isn¡¯t...¡± The next moment, he charged towards the apostle and punched him as he reached for the apostle¡¯s gun in his holster.

    He whipped out the handgun and aimed at Karim as he shouted, ¡°Raise your hands! Or I¡¯ll shoot!¡±

    Karimughed in front of the gun and said calmly. ¡°Do you think it is useful?¡±

    Although the gun was pointed at Karim, the youth¡¯s attention wasrgely on Charles. He had juste but he knew that this feminine-looking man was the strongest in Double-Headed Vulture. Charles fought against armies, ughtered civilians and there were at least over 30 malignant cases rted to him. He was the most dangerous man in the country.

    When Charles looked over in his direction, cold sweat dripping down the youth¡¯s forehead as he said, ¡°Charles, I know that you are powerful but if I pull the trigger now, Karim will be shot. No matter how fast you are, you can¡¯t be faster than the bullet.¡±

    Charles looked at him coldly as if looking at a lowly being.

    Blue light shot out from Charles¡¯s eyes and the youth¡¯s hands which were holding onto the gun froze. The youth tried to pull the trigger but he could not press down.

    Karim waved his hand and said, ¡°Break his legs.¡±

    Immediately, someone walked up and whacked the youth¡¯s leg with a stick.

    The youth yelled in pain andughed bitterly. He thought to himself. ¡°Damn, these stupid leaders, now I am screwed. Although I can¡¯t escape, I can at least kill a few more.¡±

    Karim looked at him coldly. ¡°Who sent you.¡±

    The youthughed, ¡°Your father.¡±

    Karim ordered coldly. ¡°Break one of his fingers.¡±

    After another series of yells, Karim asked again, ¡°Where are my sons?¡±

    The youth was stunned and remembered the Intel that his leaders had told him. They were real? Someone was going to deal with the Double-Headed Vulture? The French? The British? Or some other underground gang?

    When Karim saw that he hesitated, Karim thought there was a chance and continued, ¡°Jake, have I ever mistreated you? The amount of money you earn here is what the government can never give you in your lifetime. Do you really think that you can arrest us? Why do you think that the government has not caught us through these years?¡±

    Karim saw Jake looking surprised and puzzled. Heughed and said, ¡°Who do you think gave us the information before every attack? Do you know how many people in the entire Europe epted our bribe? And how many people are afraid that we go crazy?¡±

    As he spoke, Karim stood up slowly and stared at Jake coldly. ¡°Don¡¯t force me to go crazy. By that time, none of you will get it easy. If anything happens to my son, I will let your president die with him.¡±

    Jake raged. ¡°You madman!¡±

    Karim said, ¡°I am not mad. I am just strong enough. Tell me. Who sent you here...¡±

    Jake answered, ¡°Hahaha, worry about yourself. The person who killed your son will be looking for you soon. The entire Double-Headed Vulture is about to be history!¡±

    ¡°My son... was killed?¡± Karim¡¯s eyes gave off a dangerous glow. ¡°Who did it? I will peel his skin off!¡±

    At this moment, the air raged and a shadow covered the entire yard. Karim, Charles, and the others raised their heads slowly and looked at the Tri-headed Golden Dragon with their mouths open in astonishment.

    Zhao Yao looked at them and asked, ¡°You were looking for me?¡±

    ¡°Lad, are you here to die?¡± Charles sneered and his entire body was wrapped inyers of ice. His eyes shot out two beams of ice towards Zhao Yao who was on the dragon head.

    Charles attacked at full power. His icy st that had a 100% sess rate was shot out. The air surrounding its path started to freeze and the yard¡¯s temperature plummeted. Karim and his soldiers retreated immediately.

    ¡°Hurry! Let¡¯s go! Charles has attacked!¡±

    ¡°We can¡¯t stay here. We will be frostbitten!¡±

    Jake who had one leg broken, stared at the floor in shock. Both his legs were frozen. ¡°This guy¡¯s powers are to terrifying. Am I going to freeze to death?¡±

    While everyone was retreating, the Tri-headed Golden Dragon mmed his ws down and apanied by a smacking sound, Charles¡¯s body was ttened on the ground. He was dead. It was like smacking a mosquito.

    Zhao Yao stood on the dragon head and asked, ¡°You, the fat guy. Are you Karim?¡±

    Everyone else was in a daze.

    ¡°Erm... Charles, just... just died like that?¡±

    ¡°The icy st was of no use?¡±

    ¡°Who is this guy?¡± Jake was taken aback momentarily. ¡°Is he the guy that my superiors were talking about? He is really here to finish off Double-Headed Vulture?¡±

    Karim trembled and wanted to escape. However, he realized that a golden beam swept over and he was caught instantly. He looked at the man on the dragon head nervously. ¡°What do you want? This is the headquarters of Double-Headed Vulture. Do you want to be enemies with more than fifty apostles?¡±

    ¡°How are they worthy of being called apostles?¡± Zhao Yao nced at the soldiers and apostles on the floor. ¡°They are just a pile of trash.¡±

    As he spoke, he pointed his Murasama de at them and the Murasama deshed out. In the blink of the an eye, a silver sh swept across everyone.

    Jake watched them get killed one by one and shouted, ¡°I am a police officer!!¡±

    Whoosh! The Murasama de stopped in front of him. Jake was scared out of his wits. Zhao Yao asked out of curiosity. ¡°Police?¡±

    ¡°I am an undercover agent from the Italian Police Force. My serial number is XXXXXXXX. You can call the Italian government to verify my identity.¡± As he spoke, Jake crawled in front of the satellite phone and raised the phone up. ¡°This is my satellite phone. You can call and verify.¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed and grabbed him. ¡°There is no need to. Before I go, I will drop you and a hundred kilograms of drugs at the police station. If you are not a police, they will teach you a lesson for me.¡±

    Dust Ball who was at the side asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, I have a question that I wanted to ask for very long.¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°When you activate the Deflective Field to move the de around, why must you move your finger?¡± Dust Ball asked in confusion. ¡°Don¡¯t you control the Deflective Field with your mind? Does the gesture increase the effects of the power?¡±

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao started coughing vigorously and replied in annoyance, ¡°How does it concern you?¡±

    Dust Ball was still bewildered. ¡°Does it work?¡± She started to try the gestures herself.

    Shouting came from a distance and batches of armed soldiers charged, including some apostles from Dragonhawk. In fact, there was an armed helicopter flying overhead.

    When Karim saw all of them, he was finally more confident.

    Jake asked in a panic, ¡°Hey, how many men have you brought?¡±

    Zhao Yao replied calmly. ¡°Men? I am the only one.¡±

    Karim sneered.

    Jake was worried. ¡°Let¡¯s retreat. From what I know, there is a valley behind this vige. It is hard for them to swarm in all at once there. We can hide there and defend while I call my superiors for back up...¡±

    However, Zhao Yao just controlled Cat Sage and continued to move forward. He looked at Jake and asked,¡±Do you have any other colleges here?¡±

    Jake was taken aback. ¡°No. There aren¡¯t .¡±

    Zhao Yao swept his fingers and the Murasama de shot out like a silver sh of lightning. The armed helicopter was the first to be attacked. As it was swept through by the sh, it broke apart and fell to the ground.

    The other armed soldiers and apostles were even more vulnerable. Under the silver sh, they dropped down like pieces of wheat.

 Chapter 691: Harvest

    <h4>Chapter 691: Harvest</h4>

    Faced with the silver de, the apostles immediately stood up and turned into a two meter tall armored men. They charged up to the de and apanied by a series of loud stomps, the armored men attacked the de together. With great dauntlessness, they reached out for the de and attempted to grab it.

    The armored men, who were able to defend against a machine gun at close range, were cut into by the silver de like cheese. In a sh, the armored men were chopped at their waist and fell to the floor.

    Bullets, bombs, armors... To their horror, the apostles realized that no matter what they used, it could not stop the silver de. Then, some apostles had their eyes on the dragon and the guy standing on the dragon¡¯s head.

    Suddenly, five strong men yelled violently and their bodies started expanding drastically. Soon, they turned into five goris that were ten meters tall. They charged towards the dragon like King Kong.

    When the goris charged, the ground trembled with their every step and the houses copsed. Cars were flipped everywhere they went. They showed infinite power and strength and with great determination, they charged towards the dragon.

    In the face of the five gori¡¯s attacks, Cat Sage just blinked his eyes and swept his tail across. One gori was hit and flew out, breaking his bones.

    Then, the dragon w grabbed onto one gori¡¯s head and lifted it up like a chicken. He clenched his ws and threw the gori. It fell to the floor motionless.

    At the same time, the dragon opened its mouth and spat out mes and ice st. One gori was frozen into an ice statue while the other became a fireball.

    Thest one managed to jump onto the back of the dragon. It raged and climbed up the dragon¡¯s head.

    However, the dragon¡¯s golden armor, which was formed by the Deflective Field, transformed into hundreds of golden sword shadows and pierced through the gori¡¯s body. The gori howled and was thrown out.

    The assault had failed. The front battlefield was even worse. Zhao Yao stood on the dragon¡¯s head safely while the dragon rampaged around. Within three hundred meters, there was no soldier that survived.

    Although Zhao Yao did not like killing, after investigating he hade to understand how wicked the Double-Headed Vulture was. Drug trafficking, human trafficking, smuggling, arms... They did everything.

    Especially the criminals in the headquarters. Everyone here could be awarded the death sentence at least three times. Therefore, he could attack without feeling guilty.

    As the silver lightning shed across the air, the houses turned into ashes one by one. Off road vehicles were sliced into scrap metal. The soldiers¡¯ hearts were pierced through as they fell to the ground.

    Karim, who was watching this one-sided battle at the side, was blown out of his mind. He had never imagined that his army, his Dragonhawks, and his Dragon yers would be so defenseless. This was not a battle, it was a massacre.

    His eyes were filled with tears as he yelled in sorrow, ¡°What are you doing? They are my family members. They are all my brothers!¡±

    Jake sneered ,¡±You have family members and brothers. Don¡¯t the people that you have harmed have them too? Do you know how many people in the whole of Europe wants to eat your flesh and drink your blood?¡±

    Karim ignored him and red at Zhao Yao. ¡°You are a devil! You killed my family. God will never let you off.¡±

    Jakeughed coldly and did not bother to speak to him further. Viins like him had no morals. It would be a waste of his effort to talk to him. He just stared at the battle and was constantly impressed by Zhao Yao¡¯s strength.

    ¡°So powerful. This is too powerful.¡± Jake was impressed. ¡°What is that silver sh? Light? Ball shaped lightning? Whoever meets it dies. And what is the dragon beneath him? Judging from its size, it could destroy an entire city easily. There¡¯s still the armor with golden light...¡±

    The more Jake thought about it, the scarier it got. The man in front of him was more terrifying than the Double-Headed Vulture. The Dragonhawk and Dragon yers were like school children in front of him. It was a one-sided battle.

    Thinking of the task arranged by his superiors, he asked with great courage. ¡°How should I address you? You saved my life. Iif given a chance, I would like to thank you properly.¡±

    ¡°I am just an ordinary Korean. There is no need to thank me.¡±

    The battle ended quickly. Zhao Yao looked at the ruins underneath his feet and grabbed Karim. ¡°Where are the cats and money?¡±

    Of course, Karim would not hand them over easily. However, under Zhao Yao¡¯s interrogation, he surrendered after a short while.

    Soon, Zhao Yao found about 20 supercats and many boxes of cash and gold from the cave behind the headquarters.

    For criminals like Karim, there was no way he would keep his majority of his money in the bank. Therefore, he hid a lot of gold, jewelry, and cash.

    Zhao Yao was submerged in therge pile of cash and closed his eyes blissfully as he smiled.

    In a rough estimate, Karim had provided more than two billion USD. It had exceeded the mission requirements of one billion.

    ¡°This time, I have enough investments. I can go back and run my business in peace.¡±

    Zhao Yao was lying in the pile of cash and imed his 5000*2 experience points for ripping off Double-Headed Vulture. He looked at the Book again. Book: Lv6 (60742/20000) Elizabeth Lv8 (3300/50000).

    ¡°This three-day Europe trip is a big harvest. There are money, experience points, and cats to im. There are about two hundred cats in the Extradimensional Belly no,.¡± Zhao Yao thought to himself. ¡°With the experience points I have now, I just have to do missions for one or two more weeks and I can level up the Illusion.¡±

    ¡°Oh right.¡± Zhao Yao stood up suddenly and walked to the other side other cave. ¡°I think there are other gems and diamonds hidden here.¡±

    Zhao Yao waved and the Deflective Field expanded. A safe was torn out and in it was a bunch of jewelry, essories, and diamonds.

    When he saw a rock, he was slightly surprised. ¡°What is this?¡±

    When he picked up the rock, the rock melted and was absorbed into his body quickly.

    ¡°Meteorite Fragments?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the Book and saw that the progress for the Meteorite Fragments had increased from 8% to 13%.

    The rewards from the collection of meteorite fragments was that for every 10% he would obtain a skill point. After he reached 100%, he could activate evolution module.

    Now, Zhao Yao¡¯s meteorite fragments collection had reached 13%. He could obtain a skill point. He soon realized that he could only give this skill point to one supercat. After obtaining the skill point, when the cat leveled up, he could level up both skills at once and there was no need to choose.

    ¡°It is useful.¡± Zhao Yao was very satisfied. He decided to keep the skill point first and use it when he leveled up Elizabeth or other supercats and found that both their skills were great.

    ¡°The ¡®Double-Headed Vulture hid this and did not use it? Did they not know what it was? No, if they didn¡¯t know, they would not have hidden it.¡± Suddenly Zhao Yao understood. ¡°Karim is just an ordinary human. He must be afraid that if the apostle¡¯s powers grew, he would not be able to control them.¡±

    After checking that there were no other special objects, Zhao Yao nned to transport his new wealth.

    In the Extradimensional Belly, Roly Poly and Catherine copsed on the floor the moment they returned.

    They had been chased by fighter jets. Although they weren¡¯t the main targets, when they were fleeing in the woods, the bombs had brushed past their shoulders countless times. It was the most tiring thing they had ever experienced.

    Roly Poly looked at Catherine and saw that she was looking at him too. When they looked at each other and saw that they were filled with dirt and patches of missing fur and had bruises over their bodies, theyughed out loud.

    Catherine sighed, ¡°It feels good to be alive.¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡± Roly Poly looked at the injury on his body and thought, ¡°This counts as sacrificing myself for Zhao Yao right? I am so heavily injured. Shouldn¡¯t he reward me handsomely? How will the other supercats react if they see this? They will definitely respect me more.¡±

    He looked forward to it. However, when Uncle Egg looked over and saw them, he just said, ¡°Oh Roly Poly and Catherine, you guys are back?¡±

    When he received the calm reaction from Uncle Egg, Roly Poly was extremely dissatisfied. He grabbed his hind leg and cried, ¡°Ah Uncle Egg, I was fighting with 12 fighter jets just now. My leg is injured.¡±

    Then, heid on the floor and took several deep breaths. ¡°So painful. It¡¯s so painful.¡±

    Lion Head walked over and was agitated when he saw Roly Poly like this. ¡°The wound is smaller than a nail and you are screaming like this? So useless.¡±

    ¡°I...¡± Roly Poly stared at Lion Head with his mouth wide open. He turned to Uncle Egg and realize that he also disapproved.

    Lion Head said, ¡°Look at you, are you a male cat? Look at Matcha, the blood on him is more than my urine and he is not even acting like you.¡±

    Roly Poly raised his brows. ¡°Matcha is badly injured?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Lion Head exined in sorrow. ¡°In order to save Zhao Yao, Matcha blocked the enemy¡¯s Xuanming¡¯s Deadly Palm and now the effects of the toxin are wrecking his body. Next, his body will gradually shrink and he will be paralyzed. Now, his lower body is already paralyzed...¡±

    As he spoke, Lion Head started shouting, ¡°Heaven, why are you so cruel? Why must heroesnd in such a pitiful state?¡±

    Roly Poly was stunned when he heard the news, however, he was skeptical. ¡°He is talking about Matcha? Why does it sound like the story of Zhang Wuji? It doesn¡¯t match with Matcha at all.¡±

    Roly Poly followed Uncle Egg and Lion Head to Matcha¡¯s throne. From afar, he could see an orange cat lying on a massage chair. Around him were catmints, canned food, snacks, and toys.

    Matchay on the bedfortably and Diana fed him food. There were a dozen cats surrounding him.

    Roly Poly walked over and heard them praising Matcha¡¯s bravery.

    ¡°Brother Matcha, you are so daring. Last time I saw a car driving towards me and I was scared out of my wits.¡± Airne, previously the Cat King of the South at Jianghai University, now he a royal cat guard said, ¡°Brother Matcha, you saw ten Titans charge and you still stood in front of Zhao Yao to protect him. You are so courageous!¡±

    Matcha shook his paws weakly and said while coughing. ¡°Take it easy. Take it easy. These are basic operations. My power is Time Freeze after all. Even though I am weak now, if you guys team up, you will still be no match for me.¡±

    Airne shouted, ¡°Time Freeze is so powerful!¡±

    Lightning stretched his neck and joined in. ¡°Time Freeze is good! Time Freeze is fabulous! Time Freeze is the best!¡±

    When Roly Poly heard that, his face fell and felt very ufortable like he had just be heavier.

    He looked at his fur fall and was even more depressed. ¡°Jealousy makes my fur fall.¡±

    Matcha saw Roly Poly and waved immediately. ¡°Roly Poly, are you here to visit me too?¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s gaze met Matcha¡¯s and there seemed to be mes burning in the air. That moment, Roly Poly and Matcha viewed each other as apetitor.

    ¡°Yes, I am here to visit you.¡± Roly Poly limped up and sighed, ¡°I never expected that while I broke a leg, you are paralyzed too.¡±

    Catherine was shocked. ¡°Roly Poly, when did you break a leg?¡±

    ¡°When I was dodging the hundreds of missiles. However, I was afraid that I would burden everyone, hence I kept quiet about it.¡± Roly Poly limped in front of Matcha and fell to the floor suddenly.

    Lightning walked up in surprised and looked at Roly Poly. ¡°Roly Poly, what happened to you?¡±

    ¡°I... I can¡¯t feel my legs anymore.¡± Roly Poly shouted agitatedly. ¡°What is going on? Why is it like this?¡± He tried several times to stand up, but fell to ground again and again.

    Roly Poly yelled, ¡°Ah! I can¡¯t stand up anymore!¡±

    When the surrounding cats saw this scene, they were all in agony. Lightning stopped Roly Poly and said, ¡°Roly Poly, it¡¯s okay. Don¡¯t get agitated. Let¡¯s look for Zhao Yao to bring you for a check up. Maybe it is just a small problem.¡±

    Upon seeing that all the cat¡¯s attention was on Roly Poly, Matcha let out a scream and pressed his paws against his tummy. ¡°Ah! The toxin has entered my stomach! It¡¯s so painful!¡±

    When all the cats looked at Matcha, Roly Poly screamed too. He spat a ball of fur and shouted,¡± Oh no, the fighter jets were too tight on me and I ran too fast! I am having gastric pain again!¡±

    Immediately, all the cats looked at Roly Poly again. Then, Matcha¡¯s paws trembled and he shouted, ¡°No... no, the toxin has entered my paws. I can feel it shrinking. It is out of control already. My injury is worse than Roly Poly¡¯s.¡±

    All the cats turned their attention to Matcha¡¯s trembling paws.

    At that moment, there was a loud crash andrge amounts of gold fell onto an open space not far away. Then, the sky started raining gold, jewelry, diamonds and cash. All the cats were stunned.

    Zhao Yao was eating the fortune in as he spoke, ¡°Matcha, organize the things.¡±

    Matcha hesitated but he was overwhelmed by the amount of wealth. He asked Zhao Yao privately, ¡°I am pretending to be sick now, can you pretend to heal me?¡±

    Phew!

    A mouthful of salivanded on Matcha¡¯s head and Zhao Yao¡¯s voice sounded again. ¡°Hurry and do your job.¡±

    In all the cat¡¯s astonishment, Matcha eximed,¡±What a strong internal force!¡±

    Then, he stood up and shouted in surprise. ¡°The toxin in my body is gone! I can stand again!¡±

    Elizabeth looked at him coldly and said, ¡°Trash.¡±

    After receiving disdainful looks from all the cats, Matcha shouted, ¡°Everyone, let¡¯s go and sort the treasure!¡± He pointed to the treasure that was increasing in a distance and rushed there.

    The rest of the cats did not have time to chide Matcha as they followed him to the treasure. They looked at the treasure with a glint in their eyes as they rushed towards it.

    In the real world, Zhao Yao was throwing all the treasures into the belly. After setting fire to the entire vige, he brought the drugs, Jake, and dead Karim to the police station.

    After doing all these good deeds, he returned to the Extradimensional Belly without leaving his name and returned to the Cat Ind through the Extradimensional Belly.

    Next, he needed to rearrange the dimension portal in the 18th floor and the Cat caf¨¦.

    After doing all of this, Zhao Yao walked into the Extradimensional Belly leisurely, jumped into the sea of cash, andid down with a peace of mind.

    ¡°Aye, it always feel safer at home.¡±

    Beside him, was Matcha holding his head high and swimming in the cash.

    When Zhao Yao saw it, he eximed, ¡°Who said cats don¡¯t like to swim?¡±

    Roly Poly was moving all the gold to the gold area enthusiastically. However, every now and then there would be some gold disappearing and bing invisible.

    ¡°Aye, all I wanted was to take travel photos but I got other things instead.¡± Elizabeth was wearing seven or eight nes and under her paws were hundreds of diamonds. She asked Diana to take a photo of her while she said, ¡°However, life is full of surprises. Even if the result is not what I want I have to ept it bravely.¡±

    In a distance, Fish Ball was hanging upside down from Ares¡¯s Deflective Field. He was being swung side to side and a gem would fall out from his mouth from time to time.

    Ares was raging. ¡°Fish Ball! Spit out the gems! Or else I will cut your tail off!¡±

    Fish Ball covered his mouth desperately and shook his head. In his mind, he was screaming, ¡°This is my chance! I will never spit them out even if I die! My tail is worth nothing. A tail for the gems, I am going to be rich.¡±

    Red Packet was stunned by the amount of wealth in front of him. ¡°So much money? My powers are amazing. It is your blessing to be rearing me.¡±

    Caesar, the Ragdoll cat, brought a red ruby ne over to Catherine and wore it for her. ¡°Catherine, you¡¯d look good in this.¡±

    Catherine wore a few gold chains for Caesar and smiled. ¡°Caesar, you look more dominating now.¡±

    Matsuo, Midnight, Lang Gou and other cleaners were looking at the treasure with envy. Although they wanted to walk up too, Zhao Yao did not allow them to approach the treasure.

    The previous leader of the Mao Gang looked at the wealth speechlessly and remembered the money that was robbed by Zhao Yao. He whispered, ¡°He must have robbed all this from somewhere.¡±

    All the supercats were in a festive mood, when a scream came from inside the Dimension Portal.

    Zhao Xue stared at all the money with her mouth wide open. She pped herself and asked, ¡°Am I not dreaming?¡±

    Then, she screamed and charged towards the treasure.

    However, when she was about to touch the diamonds, an invisible force raised Zhao Xue up and sent her a dozens of meters away.

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°What are you doing Zhao Xue? These are all mine.¡±

    Zhao Xue looked at Zhao Yao in shock. ¡°Where did you get all this money from?¡±

    Zhao Yao answered proudly, ¡°It is an investment I pulled in. I went to find someone in Europe to invest in my Cat caf¨¦ and the Catmint business. Who knew that the person would invest this much.¡±

    Faceless whispered to Midnight, ¡°I think he robbed the bank.¡±

    Zhao Xue look at Zhao Yao and said gently, ¡°Brother~~~¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t use that tone on me.¡± Zhao Yao shivered and frowned. ¡°I am getting goosebumps.¡±

    Zhao Xue looked at the jewelry, gold, and cash and said in excitement, ¡°How much money is this?¡±

    Zhao Yao said casually, ¡°About two billion.¡±

    Zhao Xue gasped, ¡°RMB?¡±

    Zhao Yao answered, ¡°USD.¡±

    Zhao Xue covered her mouth in shock. She was more thrilled by this news than when she had found out that Zhao Yao was a strong apostle. This amount of wealth was too exaggerated. It was so much mone. Who knew how many things could be done with that amount of money?

    Then, she heard Zhao Yao say, ¡°Don¡¯t get too excited. This is my money, not yours.¡±

    Zhao Xue was hurt when she heard it. ¡°We are a family.¡±

    ¡°Although we are siblings, we have to deal with money in a clear manner,¡± Zhao Yao said slowly. ¡°Furthermore, the person entrusted the money to me. I need to use it for my business and not waste it.¡±

    Bai Quan¡¯s head appeared from the Dimension Portal. ¡°Boss, he said that he doesn¡¯t have a ready-made yacht. You either have to buy a second hand one or order one.¡±

    ¡°Yacht?¡± Zhao Xue was speechless. ¡°You want to buy a yacht? Zhao Yao, you are crazy.¡±

    ¡°I am just asking for the price. Why would I get one?¡± Zhao Yao took out his phone and messaged Bai Quan. ¡°Ask about the second hand ones.¡±

    Zhao Xue shook her head and said, ¡°No, I have to tell our parents about this. This is so much money. We are a family. We should discuss it.¡±

    Swoosh. A gold barnded in front of Zhao Xue as Zhao Yao said, ¡°Our parents are getting old, I will buy them another vi by the sea and a yacht to y with. However, about the money, let¡¯s not disturb them about it. It is too tough for them. Let me bear the responsibility alone.¡±

    Zhao Xue¡¯s right hand trembled while she touched the gold bar. ¡°But...¡±

    Another ten gold bars were thrown in front of Zhao Xue as Zhao Yao said ,¡±Go and y.¡±

    After convincing his sister, Zhao Yaoid down peacefully in the cash before his phone rang. Zhao Yao picked it up and saw that it was a voice message from Uncle Ho.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, have you been to Europe?¡±

    Zhao Yao replied immediately. ¡°Nope. It is impossible. I have been resting at home the past few days as I was sick.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s good. It scared me.¡±

    Zhao Yao. ¡°Oh right Uncle Ho, will you help with something?¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    Zhao Yao asked hesitatingly. ¡°It¡¯s just... I have a sum of money and I would like you guys to help me transfer it.

    Uncle Ho asked, ¡°How much?¡± He was in charge of contacting Zhao Yao directly and hence he was given high authority. He could take out tens of million if he needed.

    Zhao Yao answered, ¡°About... two billion.¡±

    Uncle Ho fell silent and asked again. ¡°How much? It is too noisy there, I thought I heard two billion.¡±

    Zhao Yao continued. ¡°Yeah, about two billion... USD.¡±

    ¡°You have been to Europe right? The guy who went to Europe was you right?¡± Uncle Ho was on the brink of despair. ¡°Where is the money from? You did not rob a bank did you? Did you deal with the police? You haven¡¯t been ¡®helping¡¯ their high rank officials right? Confess, were the actions of British member of the parliament yesterday rted to you?¡±

    It was apparent that Uncle Ho was unfamiliar with the recent news from Europe. However, it was enough to make Zhao Yao break out in cold sweat.

    ¡°What have you been thinking about me?¡± Zhao Yao asked angrily. ¡°To you, I am someone like that?¡±

    Uncle Ho asked seriously, ¡°Did you rob it from a bank?¡±

    ¡°Nope, they are all from illegitimate sources.¡±

    Uncle Ho heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Who is the unlucky one?¡±

    ¡°Double-Headed Vulture. I was chivalrous.¡±

    Uncle Ho rxed. ¡°Double-Headed Vulture is okay. You did not fight with other countries, right?¡±

    ¡°How could I? You know I hate picking fights.¡±

    Uncle Ho asked again, ¡°You didn¡¯t expose your identity right?¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t. I am a professional. I speak in Korean when I am outside. When I transfer the money, I need you guys to cover up my ount.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± When Uncle Ho was relieved, Zhao Yao continued, ¡°And can you help me change the currency? I have a lot of USD here and all the gold bars, jewelry and diamonds need to be converted to cash.¡±

    Uncle Ho asked agitatedly, ¡°You are asking a police to do this for you? I am not participating in moneyundering!¡±

    ¡°It is not moneyundering. I picked it up with my own capabilities.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°Uncle Ho, can¡¯t you help? When this thing is done there is no need for ck Panther. I will help you deal with God of Death myself.¡±

    Uncle Ho raised his brows in surprise. ¡°You can deal with God of Death?¡±

    Thinking of Elizabeth, who was about to level up, and the new skill point, Zhao Yaoughed and said, ¡°Piece of cake.¡±

    God of Death was the government¡¯s most wanted criminal. If Zhao Yao could kill him, helping Zhao Yao was nothing.

    Uncle Ho nodded his head and asked, ¡°When can you do it by?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the panel and said, ¡°Fastest in week,test by a month he will be dead.¡±

    ¡°Okay. Regarding what you said just now, I will help you ask around.¡±

    Zhao Yao knew that the government would not trust him purely based on what he said. However, he had to level up Elizabeth.

    If one level up was not sufficient, then he would go overseas for another month to collect experience points. He believed that the growth in Elizabeth¡¯s illusion would be enough to deal with the God of Death.

    After dealing with Uncle Ho, Zhao Yao looked at Roly Poly, Cat Sage, Elizabeth, and Dust Ball.

    Everything in the Extradimensional Belly had to be transformed into money in his ount. It was not something that could not be done immediately.

    However, the expansion of the cat caf¨¦ was already undergoing and it required arge sum of money.

    Luckily, the money that Zhao Yao had snatched from Karim¡¯s five sons was already transferred to his ount. Now, he decided to use this money for the expansion of the cat caf¨¦ to increase sales and increase the amount of experience points earned from the settlement.

    The members in the other groups were called over by Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Okay, you guys did a good job in fighting evil.¡± Zhao Yao nodded and said, ¡°Now, can everyone transfer the money over. I will need to ount for the money and use it for the expansion of the Cat caf¨¦.¡±

    Upon hearing Zhao Yao, all the cat¡¯s face changed.

    Roly Poly started shouting at all the cats in their conscious without Zhao Yao.

    Roly Poly started the conversation. ¡°What did I say? I told you! Zhao Yao will snatch our money!¡±

    Dust Ball lowered her voice. ¡°This is our hard earned money. How can we hand it over without a reason?¡±

    Elizabeth said, ¡°If I am here, the money is here. If the money were gone, I would be gone too.¡±

    Cat Sage said, ¡°Actually, I think it is a good idea if we hand the money over to Zhao Yao. It is not like we usually spend money.¡±

    All the cats looked at Cat Sage in surprise and the next moment Roly Poly removed Cat Sage from the conversation. He continued to talk to the rest of the cats. ¡°I have removed him. Let the rest of us continue this conversation.¡±

    Catherine said fiercely,¡±We should work together and teach Zhao Yao a lesson. It is time for him to know that we are not pushovers.¡±

    ¡°But we can win him in a fight.¡± Cheese answered calmly. ¡°If he really wants us to hand over the money, we have no choice either.¡±

    ¡°We can¡¯t deal with Zhao Yao the hard way.¡± Roly Poly suggested, ¡°We can understate the amount of money we have. If I am the only one that understates the money, Zhao Yao will be suspicious as to why I am the only one that collected so little money. If everyone understates the money then Zhao Yao will think that the minions of Double-Headed Vulture are really poor and all the money is with the leader.¡±

    Elizabeth agreed. ¡°It makes sense. Let¡¯s do it this way. How much money are you going to state?¡±

    Dust Ball said, ¡°20 million.¡±

    Roly Poly answered, ¡°Then I shall state 19 million.¡±

    Elizabeth nodded her head and said, ¡°Then I will state 19.5 million.¡±

    After the discussion, the cats looked at each other with a tacit smile.

    Cat Sage was waiting at the side for a while and was bewildered. ¡°Why isn¡¯t anyone replying to me? Hello? Are there any cats?¡±

    Zhao Yao, who was waiting, frowned and shouted, ¡°What is the matter? Any problems?¡± As he was talking, he used his conscious and talked to every cat privately. ¡°Later when they are giving the money, you can check if the sum it is correct. If it is not and you report it to me, I will give your team half the money formission.¡±

    Ares, Catherine, and Sphynx cat were discussing, ¡°Let¡¯s expose them and get themission.¡±

    Roly Poly, Dust Ball, and Elizabeth said in the consciousness together. ¡°There will definitely be a cat that will give us away. We must...¡±

    Roly Poly replied to Zhao Yao privately, ¡°Zhao Yao! Dust Ball and Elizabeth are going to report a false amount! They just said...¡±

    Dust Ball replied to Zhao Yao privately, ¡°Zhao Yao! Roly Poly and Elizabeth are going to report a false amount! They just said...¡±

    Elizabeth replied to Zhao Yao privately, ¡°Zhao Yao! Roly Poly and Dust Ball are going to report a false amount! They just said...¡±

    ¡°A bunch of little cats and you want to fight with me?¡± Zhao Yao smiled and waved his hand. ¡°Okay, you guys can transfer me the money one by one.¡±

    In the end, Roly Poly, Dust Ball, and Elizabeth all transferred the original amount and none of the cats managed to get amission.

    When Zhao Yao saw all the cats looking dismayed, heughed and said, ¡°Okay, you guys have been working hard. I will transfer a hundred thousand to all of you. Roly Poly and Catherine were injured so you guys will get a hundred and fifty thousand. Cat Sage had a extraordinary performance and he will get two hundred thousand.¡±

    Upon hearing Zhao Yao, all the cats cheered happily. This was the first time they received so much money.

    Matcha asked in anticipation. ¡°Zhao Yao! What about me? I am a part of this too.¡±

    Zhao Yao pulled out an A4 paper and wrote Death Exemption on it. ¡°I have prepared this for you. It is a hand made Death Exemption Ticket from me; it suits you a lot,¡± He said stroking Matcha¡¯s head.

    Matcha rolled his eyes and threw the Death Exemption Ticket on the floor and thought, ¡°Should I shit on Zhao Yao¡¯s bed today and test the powers of my Death Exemption Ticket?¡±

    After subtracting the money he gave to the cats, all the five sons in Double-Headed Vulture had given Zhao Yao about 140 million euros. Including what Zhao Yao had in his bank, it was enough for Bai Quan to do a lot of things.

    Hence, Zhao Yao gave Bai Quan one billion as start-up capital and asked him to try and buy the mall up. If even he couldn¡¯t buy the mall, he could rent most of the mall and use it to expand the Cat caf¨¦.

    After handing it over to Bai Quan, Zhao Yao felt much more relieved. He did not rush Uncle Ho but chose to operate the Cat caf¨¦ everyday, sell some catmint, andplete missions at night. He was umting the experience points that Elizabeth needed to level up.

    All went well and when Elizabeth was about to level up, an orange cat that was a few months old came to the cat caf¨¦ and knocked on the door.

    Xiao Shiyu opened the door curiously and stroked the cat. ¡°What a cute little orange cat. Why are you here?¡± She never expected the cat to answer but she saw the cat pull out a piece of paper.

    It wrote. ¡°I am King George¡¯s son. Is my dad working here?¡±

    Looking at the written words of the kitten, Xiao Shiyu hesitated and asked, ¡°Who is King George? Are you a supercat?¡±

    The orange cat did not reply her question and stared at her nkly.

    Xiao Shiyu pondered for a while and waved her hands, saying, ¡°It¡¯s alright,e in first.¡±

    After letting in the orange cat, Xiao Shiyu brought the piece of paper to Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Boss, a supercat came to us. Will you take a look?¡±

    Zhao Yao was looking at sports cars on the inte and said while browsing, ¡°What¡¯s the deal with the cat? He has to pay just like other customers. If the cat is a tomcat, do not allow our female cats to provide service.¡±

    Xiao Shiyu frowned and said, ¡°No, he said he is here to find a cat and mentioned that he is King George¡¯s son.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Zhao Yao lifted his head and said, ¡°What did you say?¡± He turned his head and saw the orange cat. He said in surprise, ¡°Looks... almost alike.¡±

    ...

    In the Extradimensional Belly, Matcha was in front of a pail of water and scrubbing the bed sheet with a scrubbing board.

    Although it was hard work, Matcha was excited, enthusiastic, optimistic and thinking of making progress.

    ¡°Humph, I did not expect the Death Exemption Ticket to be so useful.¡± Matcha recalledst night¡¯s shing of the sword and the ensuing bloodshed and trembled uncontrobly.

    ¡°Last night, I tricked Mango to excrete on bed and caused an upheaval. Zhao Yao was furious and ordered Airne, Roly Poly, the royal cat guards and the Royal Cat Police Force to search for evidence and investigate until the truth was found.¡±

    ¡°Heh heh.¡± Matcha smiled as he was very pleased with himself. ¡°Finally, I am being exposed.¡±

    ¡°I relied on my Death Exemption Ticket to escape punishment. I am only required to clean the bedsheets ten times. The Death Exemption Ticket is really good stuff.¡±

    Matcha was highly excited. ¡°With the Death Exemption Ticket, I will not fear being captured by Zhao Yao. This item is priceless. This is the future. Whoever owns the Death Exemption Ticket is king.¡±

    Moreover, I am in charge of renovating therge building. I will gain the privilege of giving out the Death Exemption Tickets.¡±

    Matcha smiled as he scrubbed the bedsheets.

    Old Cat walked unknowingly to Matcha and took out his cell phone, typing out, ¡°Congrattions George! Congrattions George!¡±

    Matcha raised his brows and suppressed his smile. ¡°What is Old Cat celebrating?¡±

    Old Cat smiled as he typed, ¡°The Death Exemption Ticket is a rare treasure and George is holding the key to the Death Exemption Tickets. Isn¡¯t this worth celebrating?¡±

    ¡°Hahahaha, Old Cat, you are the only one who understands me.¡±

    ¡°George, let me help you scrub the bedsheets.¡±

    ¡°No, no, it is not nice if Zhao Yao or the other cats see you scrubbing the bedsheet. This is a small setback as I will be stronger.¡± Matcha sent Old Cat away and continued to scrub the bedsheets while he indulged in his future fantasies.

    The voice of Zhao Yao startled Matcha. ¡°Matcha.¡±

    ¡°Huh? Is Zhao Yao looking for me?¡± He turned his head and saw Zhao Yao carrying an orange cat, walking towards him. He was shocked. ¡°A kitten? Looks like me? This is disgusting. What kind of a cat did Zhao Yao bring home this time?¡±

    While Matcha was letting his imagination run wild, he heard Zhao Yao say, ¡°Matcha, this kitten says that he is your son, is that true?¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Matcha was dumbstruck as he looked at the small kitten in Zhao Yao¡¯s arms and fell into a daze.

    ¡°My... son?¡±

    The small kitten looked at Matcha and asked warily, ¡°Are you George Matcha?¡±

    Matcha raised his white-gloved paws and covered his face, his mind racing in a frenzy. ¡°I have a son? How can it be? Why can¡¯t I recall anything about having a son?¡±

    Retrieving his paws, Matcha shook his head continuously and said, ¡°It is not possible. Where did I get a son? Little kitten, are you trying to stay here by fooling us?¡±

    ¡°No... it is not like this.¡± The little kitten meowed in protest. ¡°My mum went on a long trip. She said you didn¡¯t take any responsibility and asked me to look for you.¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°... impossible, who is your mum? I can¡¯t recall anything. How can I have a son?¡±

    Zhao Yao gazed at Matcha as though he were a scumbag and said, ¡°I am handing this kitten over to you. Bring him out to y.¡±

    ¡°No, Zhao Yao, I don¡¯t even have a girlfriend, where did I get a son?¡± Matcha broke down and shouted at the kitten, ¡°Hey, look carefully. We are of different species. You are an ordinary orange cat while I am a Jianghai Scottish Fold!¡±

    The little kitten nodded and said, ¡°My mum said I am a Jianghai Scottish Fold, just like my dad.¡±

    ¡°D*mn, who said we are alike? We look totally different!¡± Matcha looked at the kitten¡¯s four paws. They were all white like his. He scrutinized the kitten¡¯s chest and it had white fur as well. Finally, he examined the kitten¡¯s nose and there was a white vertical cluster like his.

    ¡°This is disgusting. I don¡¯t care. From what I see, we are different.¡± Matcha said in disbelief, ¡°You are definitely not my son.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked contemptuously at Matcha and noticed something on the mission panel.

    Mission: Father-Son Blood Ties

    Mission Objective: Let Matcha bring the small kitten out to y for seven days and take responsibility for his actions.

    Reward: 500 experience points.

    Mission Penalty: None

    Zhao Yao ced the small kitten in front of Matcha, ¡°Matcha, take responsibility for your actions. Take good care of him.¡±

    Matcha looked sorrowfully at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! You don¡¯t believe me? I didn¡¯t sow any wild oats. He is definitely not my son!¡±

    Zhao Yao cuddled Matcha and said, ¡°Well, you have grown up. I am unable to control you. Remember to take precautions in the future.¡± He left with a disappointed expression.

    ¡°Take good care of him. If there are no problems after a week, I will reward you with a Death Exemption Ticket.¡±

    Matcha stared at the receding figure of Zhao Yao and broke down on the ground. After hearing the Death Exemption Ticket reward, he immediately became excited.

    The small kitten walked up timidly and looked at Matcha but was frightened by Matcha¡¯s re and retreated a few meters.

    ¡°Stand right there!¡± Matcha bared his teeth and patted the kitten¡¯s head. ¡°Little cat, who sent you to frame me?¡±

    ¡°No... no one.¡± The small kitten showed his grievance and replied, ¡°Mum wanted me to look for you, daddy.¡±

    ¡°Do not call me daddy.¡± Matcha frowned and said, ¡°Get as far away from me as possible and don¡¯t let me see you again.¡± Matcha brandished his ws and intimidated the small kitten until he curled into a ball and shied away.

    After recalling Zhao Yao¡¯s order and the Death Exemption Ticket reward, Matcha kept his wits and said, ¡°Forget it. You better follow me.¡±

    ¡°Daddy.¡± The small kitten leaped forward in joy and circled around Matcha and rubbed against him.

    ¡°Don¡¯t rub against me.¡± Matcha held down the kitten¡¯s head. ¡°Don¡¯t call me daddy.¡±

    The small kitten asked curiously, ¡°What shall I call you?¡±

    ¡°Hmm...¡± Matcha thought for a while and said, ¡°Call me Brother Matcha.¡±

    The small kitten was eager to pounce but held himself back. Matcha looked at him and asked, ¡°What is your name?¡±

    ¡°I am Milk Tea.¡±

    ¡°A country bumpkin¡¯s name,¡± Matcha thought. ¡°Where did this kittene from? Although Zhao Yao wants me to take care of him, I better investigate properly and find out where he came from. After verifying that he is not my son, I will be able to clear my name.¡±

    Matcha smiled sweetly at his thoughts and said, ¡°Milk Tea, who is your mum? Where is she now?¡±

    Milk Tea blinked his eyes and felt Matcha was more affable with him. He happily replied, ¡°My mum is my mum. She said she was going on a long trip and wanted me to look for you, daddy.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t call me daddy, call me Brother Matcha!¡± Matcha corrected Milk Tea and said, ¡°Did your mum say where she was going?¡±

    Milk Tea lifted his head and thought for a while before saying, ¡°Mum said she was going to a beach ce. When I am a grown-up and financially independent, she woulde and fetch me.¡±

    ¡°Perhaps his mum found him too troublesome and ditched him to enjoy herself.¡± Matcha pondered for a while and asked, ¡°Do you remember where you were staying?¡± Milk Tea nodded and Matcha smiled with satisfaction. ¡°Bring me to your ce. I will help you find your mum.¡±

    ¡°Can we find mummy?¡± Milk Tea¡¯s eyes illuminated like twinkling little stars that twinkled at Matcha.

    ¡°Of course.¡± Matcha thought, ¡°Hmm, after finding his mum, I can pay a visit to Cat Street, hehehe.¡± He immediately recalled hisck of money. ¡°I have spent all my money. This is troublesome. Who can I borrow from?¡±

    Matcha immediately thought of Elizabeth who was a famous broadcaster with a sizable daily ie.

    Matcha reminded Milk Tea, ¡°Remember, whoever asks you, say that you are my distant rtive¡¯s son. Never divulge that I am your daddy. Do you understand?¡±

    Milk Tea nodded and immediately rushed forward to rub against Matcha but was pushed back by him.

    ¡°If you are unable to answer, just look at me. I will reply for you. Do not answer blindly. Do you understand?¡±

    Milk Tea nodded and gazed at Matcha¡¯s swinging tail.

    Matcha walked towards Elizabeth and Milk Tea followed him like a small little tail trailing behind him.

    Matcha smiled merrily at Elizabeth and said, ¡°Elizabeth, lend me some money.¡±

    ¡°Trash.¡± Elizabeth nced at Matcha but was attracted to Milk Tea, who was standing behind him. She looked curiously at Matcha then Milk Tea. She asked with curiosity, ¡°This is...¡±

    ¡°My distant rtive¡¯s son.¡± Matcha exined, ¡°He is here for the summer vacation. He is from the rural areas and is a bit of a country bumpkin. Do not be bothered by him.¡±

    Elizabeth rolled her eyes in disbelief. She turned to Milk Tea and asked, ¡°Little brother, what is your name?¡±

    Milk Tea blinked his eyes and looked at Matcha who introduced him, ¡°He is called Milk Tea.¡±

    ¡°Shut up.¡± Elizabeth activated her power of illusion to fend off Matcha. She gazed at Milk Tea and asked with curiosity, ¡°Milk Tea, what is your rtionship to this d*mn cat? Do not be afraid. Tell me honestly. He will not bully you with me around.¡±

    Milk Tea and Matcha looked almost alike which piqued Elizabeth¡¯s curiosity so she became extremely nosy.

    Milk Tea kept quiet and looked at Matcha. However, Matcha wasughing heartily and chatting with an illusory Elizabeth so he was unaware that Milk Tea was looking to him for an answer.

    Elizabeth probed further by asking, ¡°Milk Tea? You look almost like Matcha and you are much younger. Are you his son?¡± Elizabeth could not resistughing and thought, ¡°How can Matcha have a son? I am thinking too much.¡±

    Milk Tea was trembling with fright when he recalled Matcha¡¯s words, ¡°If you are unable to answer, just look at me, I will help you reply.¡±

    Milk Tea looked at Matcha again and tried very hard until he was almost squinting.

    Elizabeth looked puzzled at Milk Tea¡¯s behavior. ¡°Why are you always looking at Matcha?¡±

    Milk Tea stopped his breathing and said nervously, ¡°I... I am Milk Tea, the son of a distant rtive of Brother Matcha. I am here for the summer vacation.¡±

    ¡°I am surprised Matcha has rtives.¡± Elizabeth shook her head and released Matcha from her power of illusion. ¡°I have no money.¡±

    ¡°Ah, Elizabeth, weren¡¯t we having such a good conversation just now?¡± Matcha did not realize that he was in an illusion just now and he begged, ¡°Lizzie, lend me some money. Once I have a Death Exemption Ticket, I will give it to you.¡±

    ¡°Death Exemption Ticket? That is not a bad deal.¡± Elizabeth lifted her head pridefully and asked, ¡°Do you think I will need it?

    ¡°Besides, you cheated so many cats before who knows if you are cheating me right now. I don¡¯t believe you.¡±

    Matcha pleaded for a long time but Elizabeth would not yield. Suddenly, he noticed Milk Tea and kept his wits. He said privately to Milk Tea, ¡°Milk Tea, help me plead for money.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Milk Tea said nervously, ¡°But... but I haven¡¯t pleaded before. I do not know how to plead.¡±

    Matcha said confidently, ¡°I am going to teach you the skills of survival. I will say a sentence and you follow.¡±

    Milk Tea said, ¡°Sister Lizzie, do not me Matcha. He did it because of me.¡±

    Elizabeth asked bewildered, ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    Milk Tea said, ¡°Cry it out.¡±

    Elizabeth frowned and asked, ¡°What did you say?¡±

    Matcha scolded Milk Tea in private, ¡°I want you to cry, not asking you to say it out.¡±

    Milk Tea said as instructed, ¡°I want you to...¡±

    Before Milk Teapleted his sentence, Matcha rushed forward and covered his mouth. At Elizabeth¡¯s strange gaze, Matcha eximed, ¡°Do not say anymore, Milk Tea. Do not spill out all your sorrows again.¡±

    Elizabeth asked bewildered, ¡°What are you up to?¡±

    Matcha replied sadly to Elizabeth in private, ¡°This kid... his mum is an ordinary stray cat without any fighting capability. He is still small and unable to control his superpower. One day, he saw his mum being bitten by a stray dog and... and...¡±

    Matcha sobbed uncontrobly as he covered his mouth. He continued the private conversation with Elizabeth. ¡°He witnessed his own mum being eaten by the stray dog.¡±

    ¡°Ah!¡± Elizabeth jumped in fright. She turned towards Milk Tea and looked at him with motherly love.

    Matcha said privately to Milk Tea, ¡°Spare me some money.¡±

    Milk Tea looked absent-mindedly at Elizabeth and said, ¡°Spare me some money.¡±

    Elizabeth asked gently, ¡°Milk Tea, why do you want money?¡±

    Milk Tea repeated Matcha¡¯s words, ¡°I want to buy food for my mum.¡±

    Matcha said privately to Elizabeth, ¡°Because of the huge blow, he lost his memory. He forgot his mum had passed away. We did not dare to tell him the truth.¡±

    Elizabeth was all in tears. Covering her mouth, she looked tenderly at Milk Tea.

    ¡°Yeah!¡±

    In the catmint bar on Cat Street, Matcha chewed Dust Ball Catmint as he jumped on the stage and danced excitedly.

    Fish Ball stood by Matcha¡¯s side and emitted a myriad of colored rays. He danced with Matcha and they lightened the mood of the catmint bar.

    Matcha shouted at the top of his voice, ¡°Everyone, order to your heart¡¯s content! My treat!¡±

    Meow! The atmosphere of the catmint bar peaked as everyone cheered.

    Matcha ced a mug of ewes¡¯ milk in front of Milk Tea and said happily, ¡°Milk Tea, let¡¯s celebrate your first bucket of gold that you¡¯ve earned. Continue to work hard! Everyone cheers!¡±

    ¡°Cheers!¡±

    Milk Tea raised up his paws gingerly and licked a few sips of ewes¡¯ milk. He enjoyed it and licked the milk happily.

    Fish Ball sat on the left of Milk Tea while Matcha sat on his right. Fish Ball asked curiously, ¡°Matcha, I thought you had no more money? Why are you treating me today?¡±

    ¡°Hahahaha, with my wits, earning money is easy.¡±

    Fish Ball thought contemptuously, ¡°You cheated Lightning of 50 dors.¡± However, he maintained his admiration for Matcha and said, ¡°Matcha, you are awesome. I do not have your capability.¡± Looking at Milk Tea, he asked, ¡°This is...¡±

    Matcha patted Milk Tea¡¯s head proudly and said, ¡°My little brother Milk Tea. Do not underestimate his young age. He has a bright future. He may even outshine me in the future.¡±

    Fish Ball gazed at Milk Tea who was burying his head in the bowl while licking the milk and thought, ¡°This cat... feels like a fool. I can¡¯t even see his face.¡±

    Fish Ball probed by asking, ¡°Matcha, don¡¯t tell me he is your...¡±

    ¡°No!¡± Matcha immediately interjected, ¡°Do not second-guess me. He has amon face so he looks like most cats.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Fish Ball spected in his mind, ¡°Fishy, this smells fishy.¡±

    Two female cats strolled over and greeted Fish Ball. ¡°We heard that you are Fish Ball.¡±

    ¡°You dance very well.¡±

    Fish Ballughed heartily and looked at the two female cats. ¡°Are both of you new here? The two of you are so beautiful, I can¡¯t possibly have missed you when I have been on Cat Street for so many years.¡±

    Seeing Fish Ball having fun with the two female cats, Matcha was getting impatient. He privately cajoled Fish Ball, ¡°Fish Ball, Fish Ball, me, introduce thedies to me.¡±

    Fish Ball frowned at Matcha and said, ¡°Ladies, this is my buddy Matcha. Get acquainted.¡±

    The two female cats looked at Matcha and smiled. ¡°Thank you for the treat, tycoon.¡±

    Matcha waved his hand with a grin. ¡°It was a small gesture.¡±

    Milk Tea had just finished licking the ewes¡¯ milk and lifted his head to look at Matcha. ¡°When do we go and look for mummy?¡±

    The two female cats looked at Milk Tea, then Matcha and frowned. ¡°You let your sone to such ces?¡±

    ¡°Ah? Matcha tried to exin, ¡°No, this is a misunderstanding. He is not my son.¡±

    The two female cats scoffed at Matcha and chided, ¡°Your son is a few months old and you let hime to such ces.¡±

    ¡°Disgusting.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    ¡°Hey, don¡¯t leave.¡± Matcha shouted in despair, ¡°He really isn¡¯t my son.¡± Looking at the receding figures of the two female cats, Matcha red furiously at Milk Tea.

    Milk Tea said nervously, ¡°Brother Matcha, I didn¡¯t call you daddy.¡±

    ¡°D*mn it Matcha, we are here to enjoy ourselves why did you bring your son?¡± Fish Ball was fuming as he said, ¡°I almost seeded with thedies.¡±

    Matcha exined, ¡°Fish Ball, he really isn¡¯t my son. You know me well. How can I have a son?¡±

    ¡°Do not say any more. You lied to your brothers. Do not ask me out for catmint again.¡± Fish Ball stood up and left.

    Matcha left the catmint bar dejectedly while Milk Tea followed behind gingerly. He rubbed Matcha¡¯s tail and asked timidly, ¡°Brother Matcha, did I do something wrong?¡±

    Matcha turned his head and looked at Milk Tea¡¯s pitiful face. He sighed and said, ¡°It¡¯s alright. You have done nothing wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have brought you here. Let¡¯s go and look for your mum.¡±

    ¡°Looking for mum?¡± Milk Tea was exhrated and circled around Matcha.

    Matcha strolled casually and thought, ¡°I have to find his mum to clear my name.¡±

    The intelligence from Europe spread to therge organizations in the world. Incidents concerning several huge explosions and the crashing of 12 fighter nes were too conspicuous to be suppressed.

    ...

    In Japan, Kaede Hattori scrutinized the intelligence report and said gravely, ¡°Tri-headed Golden Dragon? Able to defeat 12 supersonic fighter nes? Is the dragon that powerful?¡±

    He had mixed feelings after reading the report. He sighed and thought, ¡°I must not hesitate any longer.¡± He took out a movie script from the drawer and pondered, ¡°Horror film...¡±

    Nanako¡¯s brother, Hideki Kujyo received the same intelligence. He asked Sylvie who was standing by the side, ¡°Where is Nanako? Where did she go?¡±

    Sylvie lowered her head and replied, ¡°Miss Nanako is in Tokyo for the Comic Convention.¡±

    Hideki Kujyo lifted his head and said, ¡°Tell her to see me once shees back. I have things to tell her.¡±

    In London, the undercover agent at Double-Headed Vulture, Jake, returned to ¡®Protoss¡¯ headquarters and was immediately questioned by numerous high level officials. He was surprised by the seniority of their positions.

    ¡°12 supersonic fighter nes?¡± Jake inhaled a cool gust of air and said, ¡°It is no wonder I have been questioned many times. This strange creature destroyed 12 fighter nes? It is divine justice to see Double-Headed Vulture being destroyed by them.¡±

    ¡°And this...¡± Jake held up a document and thought, ¡°To fight against apostles who are out of the norm, the Ministry of Defense and Protoss are coborating on Project Mercury.¡±

    A senior official faced Jake squarely and coaxed, ¡°Jake, as you are the only person who was in close proximity with the enemy, I strongly encourage you to participate in Project Mercury. This concerns the safety of the British Empire and the European Union. Hope that you will consider this carefully.¡±

    In Jianghai, Uncle Ho was flying into a terrible rage as he screamed into the phone, ¡°12 fighter nes! How could you shoot down 12 fighter nes?!¡±

    He was on the verge of breaking down. ¡°Do you realize that if Europe discovered it was done by you, what this would do to the international arena? How many countries would sit back and reap the benefits of our conflict? Do you know how damaging it would be for us strategically?¡±

    ¡°It is alright.¡± Zhao Yao consoled, ¡°I wore a mask. Nobody is able to identify me.¡±

    ¡°You are banned from traveling overseas!¡± Uncle Ho pleaded, ¡°Brother Yao, please do not create trouble. Is that too much to ask?¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t create trouble,¡± Zhao Yao exined. ¡°You may not believe me but they provoked me first.

    I was happily doing my job of exterminating the Double-Headed Vulture. Halfway through the mission, they provoked me by shooting and bombing me. They reminded me of the Eight-Nation coalition. How could I bear it?¡±

    ¡°Well.¡± Uncle Ho said, ¡°My superiors have agreed to exchange the money for you, however, you have to promise not to travel overseas. Are you able to do that, Brother Yao?¡±

    ¡°Yes, of course, money makes the world go round.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Uncle Ho sighed in relief. ¡°This man always does things that make me worry.¡±

    Lin Chen who was by his side smiled and said, ¡°The brainless one may be yful but he is earnest and righteous. He traveled all the way to Europe to save the people from the clutches of evil. What kind of chivalry is that?¡±

    ¡°Forget it. I think he did it mostly for money.¡± Uncle Ho paused for a while and continued, ¡°Yes, I forgot to tell him that we have a new codename for him in our department. This is to deal with the development of weaponized superpowers by the foreign countries. We need to release news of our best superpower ability.¡± After pondering over the new codename, Uncle Ho decided not to tell Zhao Yao.

    Lin Chen smiled andmented, ¡°Oriental Beacon... hehehe, how appropriate.¡±

    In an undergroundboratory in the state of Maine, United States.

    A few high level officials sat together, their faces clouded with indecision.

    A scientist said, ¡°Do you really want to do that? We do not understand him clearly. If we act rashly, it will be too dangerous.¡±

    A soldier replied, ¡°This is not the time to be passive, every country is developing and weaponizing their superpowers. A man even destroyed 12 fighter nes. This shows that our development isgging too far behind.¡±

    A man in a ck suit said, ¡°Our weapons development has lost its dominant position and a few of our allies are getting restless. For the past two years, all the researches in Project X have failed, indicating that mild methods are ineffective. The higher ups in government will not allow us to develop at a snail¡¯s pace. Ladies and gentlemen, we are running out of time.¡±

    The scientist retorted, ¡°It is too dangerous. We do not have a clear understanding of him.¡±

    ¡°So what do we have to lose? Because we know nothing, we have to use another method.¡±

    The soldier said, ¡°This research uses the highest level of safeguards. Even if it is dangerous, we can abandon the base and sacrifice a portion of the staff. Aspared to the degradation of our hegemony, this is worth it. Professor, I order you to remove all constraints and elerate the development of Project X.¡±

    After a heated discussion, the Professor lowered his head and sighed helplessly. ¡°I hope we will not regret this decision, General.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± The General said grimly, ¡°Project X will propel our country to the forefront of the superpower development. History will remember us like Einstein and Oppenheimer.¡±

    Deep underground, a metal containment unit was being elevated andyers of armored tes peeled off. The low temperature thermostat was shut off and liquid nitrogen flowed out of the pipes.

    Numerous automated electromaic weapons came out from the walls and aimed at the armored tes which were about to be opened.

    The high temperature incinerator was being prepped, ready to incinerate the entire room with 6000¡ãC mes. Any living organisms would be burnt to ash.

    A hundred elite apostles were all battle-stationed outside the room. The entire base was on a security lockdown prohibiting all living organisms from entering or leaving.

    Afteryers of constraints were removed, a meter tall figure gradually appeared.

    Everyone held their breath when they saw the figure appearing on the surveince monitor.

    It was a humanoid with a very long tail. There was no fur on its cobalt-colored body. The head looked about 70-80% like a cat and it could be described as a... feline humanoid.

    After five minutes, Project X remained motionless and the General asked impatiently, ¡°What¡¯s with him? Why is there no reaction?¡±

    The Professor shook his head, looked at the vital statistics panels and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know. He has a heartbeat and blood pressure. He is alive.¡±

    The General ordered grimly, ¡°Attack him.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± The Professor was stunned and he said, ¡°We cannot do that. We do not know what he is. The result can be disastrous.¡±

    ¡°Think of a way to awaken him.¡± The General said, ¡°I didn¡¯te all this way to look at him sleep.¡±

    The Professor pondered a moment and controlled a mechanized arm, intending to electrocute Project X.

    Project X abruptly opened his eyes, the pair of pupils contracted and gazed at the equipment in front of him.

    ¡°He is awake. He is awake.¡± The Professor, who had researched the Project for the past two years, eximed with excitement. ¡°Incredible, this is too incredible. His vital statistics are rising rapidly and he is getting stronger and healthier.¡±

    The General asked, ¡°Are we able tomunicate with him?¡±

    The Professor used the mechanized arm to take out his prepared materials. ¡°We have to teach him ournguage and it takes time.¡±

    Seeing the individual words appearing on the panel, Project X shifted his head and opened his mouth, articting pure English, ¡°I think we can skip thenguage part.¡±

    The Professor was astonished. ¡°He... He knows ournguage.¡±

    Project X continued speaking, ¡°Are you surprised that I know yournguage? I don¡¯t think it is surprising. I was an ordinary cat in Maine until a particr ident...¡± He looked at his palm and said, ¡°And I became like this.¡±

    The General frowned and asked, ¡°How much truth is there in his words?

    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± The Professor shook his head and said, ¡°It could be true or he could be lying in order to survive. General... we are facing an intelligent life form and not an ordinaryboratory animal.¡±

    Milk Tea nodded and shouted to an old cat, ¡°Greetings Elderly Wang, did you see my mummye back?¡±

    The old cat was sprawled casually on the wall of the estate entrance. He opened his eyes, nced at both Milk Tea and Matcha and said, ¡°Little Milk Tea, you have returned with your scumbag daddy?¡±

    ¡°I...¡± Matcha thought, ¡°If you weren¡¯t this old, I would have beaten you to death.¡±

    Milk Tea nodded and said, ¡°What about my mum? Did shee back?¡±

    The old cat shook his head and sighed at Milk Tea. ¡°She didn¡¯te back.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Milk Tea lowered his head dejectedly and brought Matcha into the estate.

    The little kitten was temperamental and he forgot his sadness in a short while. He circled around Matcha excitedly.

    He pointed to a few stic containers in a flower bed and said, ¡°Look Brother Matcha, that is my ce for my meals. My mum said that food descended from the sky every day for me to eat. If I waste, the food would be eaten by other cats so I had to be early.¡±

    Matcha looked at the contents of the containers and observed that it was the unwanted food scraps thrown out by the humans. There was barely any cat food. Seeing Milk Tea¡¯s merry face, he didn¡¯t tell him the truth but just nodded.

    They came to the deep end of a green belt and saw several torn cartons.

    Milk Tea said happily, ¡°Brother Matcha, I have arrived. This is my home!¡± He squirmed into the cartons and made scratching and rolling sounds inside.

    Cats were nostalgic in nature, especially little kittens. They were very attached to the dwellings where they grew up.

    Matcha looked at the dirty dwelling and frowned. The ce stank of strong cat urine, an indication of a cat¡¯s territorial boundary.

    ¡°There must be many stray cats around to use such a primitive method for marking boundary.¡± Matcha shook his head in disapproval.

    Milk Tea¡¯s head emerged from the paper carton and looked in anticipation at Matcha. ¡°Brother Matcha, would you like toe in to y?¡±

    ¡°This is preposterous. The paper carton is dirty and stinky. I would have thrown it away.¡± Seeing his luminous big eyes, Matcha nodded despite himself. ¡°Well...¡±

    In the paper carton, a series of stenches invaded his nostrils and Matcha frowned. He saw Milk Tea scratching his ws on a scratching board incessantly.

    Milk Tea was happy to see Matcha and introduced it to him, ¡°Look Brother Matcha, this is a cat scratching board! If I scratch on it, my ws will not feel itchy and it is veryfortable. My mum stole it from outside with great effort.¡±

    ¡°This cat hasn¡¯t seen a cat scratching board before? Zhao Yao buys a few hundred every month.¡± Matcha swept the scratching board away and frowned as he thought. ¡°The scratching board is worn out. I would have thrown it out long ago.¡±

    Seeing Milk Tea¡¯s anticipation, Matcha grinned wryly and said, ¡°Well, it is pretty good.¡± He asked, ¡°What is your mum¡¯s superpower? And what is your superpower?¡±

    He thought, ¡°They are quite poor. I think their superpowers will be very weak, perhaps on par with normal cats.¡±

    ¡°Superpower?¡± Milk Tea shook his head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know. My mum didn¡¯t say such things to me.¡±

    ¡°Never heard of this before?¡± Matcha was puzzled. ¡°What special ability do you have? The one that you can do but other cats can¡¯t.¡±

    ¡°What other cats can¡¯t do?¡± Milk Tea tilted his head and thought. He turned abruptly and aimed his buttocks at Matcha. ¡°Look here Brother Matcha.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s eyelid twitched and he thought, ¡°Is his ability the same as Yellow Mud and rted to excretion?¡±

    Milk Tea jiggled his buttocks and said, ¡°Look Brother Matcha, my left and right buttocks can shake, are you able to do it?¡±

    ¡°Trash.¡± Matcha pped his buttocks and said, ¡°Enough, I understand. Stop shaking.¡±

    Milk Tea licked himself with pride and said, ¡°I discovered it unknowingly.¡±

    Matcha rolled his eyes and searched for evidence of his mum but in vain.

    ¡°This is trouble, where did the female cat go? If she doesn¡¯te back, I will not be able to clear my name?¡±

    At this moment, Milk Tea rubbed his head against Matcha.

    Matcha turned his head to look at Milk Tea and said impatiently, ¡°Why are you rubbing me? Didn¡¯t I tell you not to?¡±

    Milk Tea rubbed his head against Matcha and lifted his white paws, touching his head. ¡°Can you lick me?¡±

    Matcha frowned and said, ¡°What is there to lick?¡±

    Milk Tea looked at the nearby tree and Matcha and said, ¡°Other kittens are licked by bigger cats.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Matcha looked at the base of the tree that Milk Tea was gazing and saw two Dragon Li cats. The big cat was licking the small cat.

    ¡°Those were uncultured stray cats. We supercats do not believe in such things.¡± Matcha said impatiently, ¡°You will lick yourself in the future.¡±

    ¡°Oh...¡±

    Seeing his droopy and dispirited tail, Matcha hesitated and sighed reluctantly. ¡°Okay, okay, I will lick your head.¡±

    ¡°Yay!¡± The orange kitten lifted his head and rubbed against Matcha¡¯s chest. Matcha rolled his eyes, stuck out his tongue, and started licking Milk Tea¡¯s head.

    The licking was sofortable that Milk Tea squinted his eyes and purred softly.

    Matcha was pondering as he licked Milk Tea. ¡°His mum belongs to the category of cats with no superpower and she is poor so she couldn¡¯t have gone far. I may be able to find her after a brief search.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s eyes brightened as he looked at Milk Tea and said, ¡°Hey Milk Tea, bring me to the ces that your mum frequents. Does your mum know other supercats? Bring me to see them too.¡±

    Milk Tea nodded and brought Matcha to visit the nearby estates in search of his mum.

    The two cats walked across the greenbelt, climbed over fences, looked through dumpsters and trash bins and went in and out of subway stations. They saw quite a few supercats as well and could be said to havebed through every spot where both stray cats and supercats yed, ate, and rested in the vicinity.

    They searched until it was past midnight close to 1am but still did not manage to find any leads. Matcha brought Milk Tea to a remote crossroad and stopped as he sighed to himself, ¡°Where did this guy¡¯s mother go? There¡¯s actually no news about her at all?¡±

    Just as he stopped to think for a while, he heard a snoring sound from behind him. He turned around and realized that Milk Tea had fallen asleep on the spot.

    ¡°He¡¯s a small cat afterall. He must be tired after walking for the whole day.¡±

    He nced at Milk Tea who had copsed on the floor with his belly facing up as he snored loudly in his sleep. Matcha thought, ¡°This won¡¯t do, if I bring this kid along with me, won¡¯t it look like he¡¯s my child? I won¡¯t ever get a girlfriend in this state. Should I just take this chance to abandon him?¡±

    However, after a few steps, Matcha stopped and hesitated again. ¡°This guy is so young. He doesn¡¯t even know what his superpower is. He might just die after a few days out on the streets.¡±

    ¡°But this has nothing to do with me. There are so many cats and dogs out there that can¡¯t survive on the streets. Even some humans can¡¯t. Doesn¡¯t mean I have to save all of them, right?¡±

    Matcha took a few steps forward but stopped abruptly again. ¡°But he calls me Brother Matcha, so he¡¯s still considered my little brother. If I leave him here just like that wouldn¡¯t that be very disloyal of me?¡±

    ¡°But a big brother can¡¯t possibly turn into a monk for the rest of his life just for his little brother and I taught him some survival skills anyway. If he can¡¯t even survive with that, he can only me himself.¡±

    After much hesitation, Matcha finally decided to leave for good.

    However, Milk Tea¡¯s voice came from behind, ¡°Brother Matcha, are you leaving?¡±

    Matcha turned. The small cat stared at him like he was about to cry as he asked, ¡°Brother Matcha, are you also going to leave? Just like Mama?¡±

    Matcha gulped before he let out a nervousugh, ¡°No, why would I? I¡¯m going to buy something for you to eat. Wait for me here.¡±

    Milk Tea smiled immediately and nodded, ¡°Milk Tea will wait patiently for Brother Matcha.¡±

    Matcha opened his mouth, about to say that he was not leaving anymore but he turned his head back suddenly and sprinted off. ¡°No, I can¡¯t hesitate in times like these. This is clearly not a responsibility I have to shoulder. I can do something else to earn a Death Exemption Ticket. But if I keep shouldering this burden how am I supposed to roam the streets? When I¡¯m back I¡¯ll just say he found his mother and left with her. I can¡¯t possibly have a son.¡±

    Half an hourter at the crossroad...

    Matcha peeked out carefully from the back of a fence. He looked at Milk Tea, the small orange cat had remained standing at his spot at the crossroad. His eyes closed slightly as he drooled from the side of his mouth, ready to fall asleep.

    However, he remained in a standing position. Whenever his head drooped sleepily, he would immediately raise it again as if he did not dare to fall asleep.

    At the sight of this Matcha thought to himself, ¡°This idiot, he¡¯s still waiting even after half an hour. Can¡¯t he tell that people are trying to ditch him? What a fool.¡±

    Matcha stared at him as he continued cursing at him in his heart but he silently took out his phone and starting ying with it. He would nce up asionally to check on the small cat as he thought, ¡°Forget it, I will leave after seeing you leave or else I¡¯ll have to shoulder the me if something happens.¡±

    Two hourster...

    ¡°Fool, dumbass, idiot,¡± Matcha stared at the small orange cat that had curled into a ball to withstand the cold as he was fuming in his heart, ¡°Where did such a stupid cate from? He¡¯s definitely not my son. Standing there in the wee hours of the night is really too dumb of him.¡±

    Matcha was so angry he wanted to run up and scold him badly but he stopped in his tracks. ¡°No, if I go up now, it would just waste the past two hours of waiting. As long as I wait it out, even the dumbest cat would understand the situation after some time. He will eventually get it and leave.¡±

    As he thought of this, Matchaposed himself and continued ying Mobile Legends. However he still felt somewhat unsettled and would nce up asionally at the crossroad.

    After an hour, Matcha frowned as his phone went t. He looked up at the crossroad again and saw a curled up furball trembling on the spot. Although summer wasing, the temperature at night was still a little low. On top of that, the small cat did not have enough fur on its body and still stood at a windy spot on the streets, so it was natural that he would be scared of the cold.

    ¡°You will really be the death of me,¡± Matcha sighed, ¡°Forget it, I¡¯m not waiting anymore, I¡¯ll just go back.¡±

    However, just as he was about to leave, he heard some discordant meowinging from the crossroad.

    ¡°Eh?¡± Matcha turned back at the sound and saw a big ck, well-built cat snarling threateningly at Milk Tea.

    Milk Tea was so scared that his fur stood up but he still meowed back in defense. Even then, he was so frightened that he could not help retreating backwards.

    Matcha paused for a moment, ¡°A stray cat? Forget it, it¡¯s none of my business.¡±

    The big ck cat meowed even louder and turned fiercer as he stared at Milk Tea with a murderous glint in his eyes. He began to crouch on his four limbs as he advanced forward, motivated by his beastly instincts. It looked as if he was about to pounce forward any moment.

    Milk Tea continued meowing as he red his fur threateningly. He continued retreating backwards until he bumped against a wall.

    Right at that moment, the big ck cat turned into a ck shadow as it charged forward. Milk Tea meowed out in an instant as he shut his eyes and scratched madly at the air in front of him with his paws. Wisps of ck light seemed to emanate from his shut eyes.

    However, the pain he had imagined never came. His eyes fluttered open and saw the big ck cat crying in pain as it ran away.

    Matcha¡¯s back appeared in front of Milk Tea. Staring at the fleeing big ck cat, Matcha turned and asked, ¡°You¡¯re not hurt right? ... Foolish kid.¡±

    ¡°Brother Matcha!¡± Milk Tea stared at Matcha in front of him and started crying out loud suddenly, banging his head on Matcha as he said, ¡°I thought you had ditched me as well!¡±

    ¡°So annoying,¡± Matcha thought, ¡°Next time I will definitely ditch him.¡± Looking at Milk Tea who continued bumping him with his head, Matcha thought to himself again, ¡°Humph, I will use you to earn some money first and earn a Death Exemption Ticket. I will ditch you once I get my hands on the Death Exemption Ticket.¡±

    Both big and small cat walked home together as Milk Tea ran around Matcha happily.

    ¡°Brother Matcha, you¡¯re so powerful. How did you chase that big ck cat away?¡±

    ¡°I have my superpower. I¡¯m the strongest supercat afterall.¡±

    Milk Tea looked at Matcha in astonishment, ¡°Ah!!!!! Brother Matcha, you¡¯re actually the strongest supercat?¡±

    Matcha coughed a little and nodded, slightly embarrassed as he replied, ¡°Yeah... the strongest.¡±

    At the spot where Matcha originally stood, a dimension portal slowly closed.

    Zhao Yao yawned and turned off hisputer and slowly stood up from theputer desk. ¡°Matcha¡¯s intelligence is really dropping. He actually watched a cat for a whole night. How boring is that?¡±

    Dust Ball slowly moved the dimension portal back to its original position and thought to herself, ¡°You watched him for so long, isn¡¯t that equally boring? Humph, Zhao Yao¡¯s intelligence is really dropping. Looks like the house will have to depend on me, Dust Ball, in future.¡±

    As she thought about that, Dust Ball kicked out a paw and shed the air viciously.

    ¡°Hmm, looks like my skills are improving.¡±

    Lion Head, Catherine, and Diana gathered around Milk Tea and stared at the small cat lovingly.

    Matcha sighed andmunicated with the three female cats privately with his consciousness, ¡°This is so sad. Yesterday I brought him to find his parents but... their bodies were all rotten. Luckily, I managed to hold him back. I don¡¯t know how traumatized he would be if he had actually seen it for himself...¡±

    Milk Tea stared nkly at the three female cats and said automatically, ¡°Give me money please.¡±

    Matcha shook his head, ¡°I heard from the old cat there that he tried to earn money every day to feed his dead mother, hoping that she would wake up after eating some food...¡±

    Hearing Matcha¡¯s words, Lion Head, Catherine, and Diana teared up as their motherly instincts aroused at the sight of Milk Tea.

    Milk Tea said nkly, ¡°Give me money please.¡±

    Matcha sighed, ¡°He¡¯s still thinking of earning money everyday to buy some food to feed his mother. As long as someone gives him some money, it will make his whole day. It¡¯s really... it¡¯s really too pitiful.¡± As he said that he could not help but cover his mouth with his paw.

    Lion Head said, as she whipped out her phone, ¡°Stop talking, I¡¯ll send, I¡¯ll send some money to him now.¡±

    Catherine chimed in, ¡°Me too!¡±

    Diana added, ¡°Give me the ount number. I will send some money over too!¡±

    ¡°Milk Tea, don¡¯t be sad anymore. Things will get better.¡±

    After a while, Matcha brought the small cat to a corner and checked the money he received in his phone beforeughing loudly, ¡°Bunch of fools, I, Matcha, can easily manipte them.¡± He stared at Milk Tea in delight and said, ¡°Good, Milk Tea, your survival skills are getting better. You¡¯ve improved so much. Even if you do this yourself next time, you will be able to earn money.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Milk Tea happily rubbed against Matcha again, bumping him with his head. Matcha rolled his eyes and licked him catingly as he said, ¡°Eh, now you have money. Do you want to buy anything?¡±

    ¡°Brother Matcha lick me a little bit more please.¡±

    ¡°Besides that.¡±

    ¡°The grass yesterday I guess...¡±

    ¡°How old are you and you¡¯re already thinking of dating? If you have time, go y some games. Stop having these wild thoughts.¡±

    ¡°No, I mean I want to have some of that goat milk I had yesterday.¡±

    ¡°Eh? You liked that? Couldn¡¯t tell that you like intense vors,¡± Matcha thought. ¡°I think Zhao Yao bought some goat milk powder, I¡¯ll go find it for you.¡±

    Both the big and small orange cat walked towards the food inventory shelf in the extradimensional belly. As they passed by Roly Poly, Matcha saw him shaking happily as he giggled at theptop screen.

    Matcha¡¯s head popped out suddenly from behind him and asked, ¡°What are youughing at, Roly Poly?¡±

    ¡°Meow!!¡± Roly Poly covered theptop screen in an instant as he red his fur and red at Matcha. ¡°Why did you appear suddenly behind me? Gave me such a scare.¡±

    Roly Poly immediately asked, ¡°Did you see anything?¡±

    ¡°No,¡± Matcha narrowed his eyes and immediately activated time freeze as he thought, ¡°This fatty is so secretive, there must be something going on.¡±

    Under the time freeze, Matchaughed as he pushed Roly Poly aside and stared at the screen that he was trying to block their view of.

    He saw that he was browsing a discussion forum where there were mentions of things like uncensored zones, censored zones, bare-faced stalker photos, and influencer photo sets...

    s, during time freeze, Matcha was unable to use theptop to open and view the contents of the discussion forum.

    ¡°What nonsense is this? What does all this mean,¡± Matcha thought about it and decided to note down the web address of the site. ¡°Catincat, hmm, I will check it outter.¡±

    Time resumed its flow as Roly Poly regained his senses. He was confused as he felt his body move slightly and stared at Matcha as he asked, ¡°Matcha, did you use your powers?¡±

    ¡°No, why would I use my power?¡± Matcha pursed his lips and continued, ¡°Milk Tea, let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll bring you to drink some goat milk.¡±

    Looking at the backs of both cats as they walked off together, a hint of suspicion shed across Roly Poly¡¯s eyes. ¡°Forget it. Next time when I¡¯m working I¡¯ll just make myself invisible.¡±

    As he said that, his body shed and he disappeared into thin air along with hisptop.

    In invisibility mode, Roly Poly typed expertly on the keyboard. After half an hour however, he shook his head in dissatisfaction as he said to himself, ¡°No, there¡¯s too little material here. I need to gather more.¡±

    At the thought of this, he turned and stared in Elizabeth¡¯s direction. He closed hisptop and grabbed his phone in his mouth as he walked over stealthily.

    At that moment, Elizabeth and Diana were fuming as they stared at theputer screen.

    ¡°Despicable, someone is trying to defame me again. When will these guys ever get off my back?¡±

    Diana frowned, ¡°Sister, now is a crucial time for the Top 10 Broadcasters nomination. They¡¯re defaming us so badly that maybe it¡¯s done by other broadcasters?¡±

    At the thought of that, Elizabeth panicked and immediately called Zhao Yao over, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, look! Someone keeps trying to defame me saying that I video call tycoons, take scandalous videos, and sell my photos for money. It¡¯s so bad now since a lot of fans have unsubscribed from my channel.¡±

    ¡°Eh, there¡¯s such a thing?¡± Zhao Yao frowned and asked, ¡°What¡¯s your ranking in the Top 10 Broadcasters list this time?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m number 9,¡± Elizabeth screamed, ¡°I was ranked number 5 at first, but my rank keeps on falling. I¡¯m on the verge of being kicked out of the list.¡±

    Zhao Yao took out his phone and said, ¡°I will dump 10 million into your channel again to snatch the number 1 spot.¡± He thought to himself, ¡°If I use 10 million to snatch the number 1 spot this will allow to me toplete most of Elizabeth¡¯s broadcasting mission right? I will be able to get another 1000 experience points, which is not bad, not bad at all.¡±

    Zhao Yao felt that he was getting richer and richer. With the help of Uncle Ho and the rest, he had amassed a total of more than 12 billion RMB in his bank ount. He felt that he was about to burst with so much money in his ount but had no chance to unt his wealth. He had to seize the chance to dump some money and relieve himself of that bloated feeling of having too much money in his hands.

    Elizabeth was shocked when she heard that and immediately advised Zhao Yao against it, ¡°Don¡¯t do that, 10 million is way too much money. The money spent will ultimately be pocketed by the broadcasting tform. Zhao Yao, there¡¯s no need to spend so much on this.¡±

    ¡°10 million is not a big deal for me,¡± Zhao Yao bragged pompously. ¡°The best thing about me now is that I¡¯m super rich. As long as it¡¯s something that can be solved with money, I won¡¯t need to think of another way to solve it.¡±

    Elizabeth was exasperated, ¡°Money alone can¡¯t solve the root of the problem. People will just think that I¡¯m some tycoon¡¯s mistress. Even if I manage to snatch the top spot I might not have any fame left by then.¡±

    ¡°Hmm, this is a problem,¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought for a while. The mission required Elizabeth to be a great broadcaster with a poprity exceeding millions, which meant that every time she did a live stream there should be more than a million viewers at least. If she snagged the first spot in the Top 10 Broadcasters but was suspected for using unofficial means that would conversely decrease her poprity, which might not be a good thing after all.

    Zhao Yao nodded, ¡°Alright, then I will dump one million to raise your poprity first. Exin to me this defamation issue in detail.¡±

    Elizabeth nodded and said, ¡°Recently, photos of me in real life have suddenly spread all over the inte, with rumors that I have given birth before, had a few boyfriends in the past, sold videos of myself to tycoons, and now there are even rumors that I¡¯m some tycoon¡¯s mistress...¡±

    Elizabeth got angrier as she described the situation. Her fur red all over her body, making her look like a puffer fish with long fur.

    Hearing how Elizabeth described the situation, Zhao Yao frowned and asked, ¡°Do they have evidence? Like photos or videos and the like?¡±

    ¡°No, those are all rumors,¡± Elizabeth frowned before she continued, ¡°There are just some photos of my daily life. I don¡¯t know where those came from as well.¡±

    ¡°Photos of your daily life?¡± Zhao Yao looked up and scanned the surroundings of the extradimensional belly. He saw nearly 200 supercats ying around, bustling with activity.

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°There are so many cats here, do you know who took those photos of you secretly? Did you try checking before?¡±

    Elizabeth said, ¡°Of course, but it was no use. I asked some people to send WeChat friend requests over but they were all rejected. They weee not keen on adding us at all. Even when we used our alternate ounts to send friend requests, they just rejected them.¡±

    ¡°Oh? The other party rejects your friend requests, even from alternate ounts? How do they know what ounts you will use to add him?¡±

    At the side, Roly Poly, who was still invisible, felt his heart racing faster and faster as he overheard their conversation. He became really nervous and even started to back away to distance himself from Elizabeth and Zhao Yao.

    However, just as Roly Poly was backing up, Zhao Yao suddenly turned at stared at Roly Poly and said, ¡°Roly Poly, why are you walking away? You are Elizabeth¡¯s assistant forworking on WeChat, what do you think of this issue?¡±

    Roly Poly froze on the spot. He felt as if he had shed half of his fur in that moment but quickly regainedposure and said, ¡°Zhao Yao must have heard my voice but did he guess that I¡¯m the one behind all this?¡±

    In the next moment, Roly Poly revealed himself and stuck out his tongue and pretended not to know anything. ¡°I didn¡¯t know about all of this either. I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on.¡±

    ¡°Why did I even ask,¡± Zhao Yao continued, ¡°How about Airne, didn¡¯t I ask him to check on the spy issue? Did he not find anything? I¡¯ll call him and ask.¡±

    After a while, Airne mbered out of a cardboard box in a rush. His cat fur was ruffled up. Right after him came a female cat that peeked out from the box and shouted, ¡°Brother Airne, don¡¯t go. Keep mepany for a while longer.¡±

    Airne turned and smiled a little, ¡°My leader is calling me. I really need to go.¡±

    The female cat screamed again, ¡°What about the thing you promised me Brother Airne...¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, just report to work at the royal cat guards tomorrow.¡±

    Airne trotted and ran all the way to Zhao Yao and said in a ttering tone, ¡°Boss, is there anything wrong?¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at him and asked, ¡°Last time I asked you to check on the spy who secretly took photos of Elizabeth. Did you find anything?¡±

    Upon hearing that, Airne¡¯s face immediately was troubled and dejected as he said, ¡°Boss, you don¡¯t know. Just how difficult this thing is to check. That spy is really crafty. We set up so many preventive measures and even let Elizabeth hide in a secret chamber and used another cat to spy on her but it all failed. The spy still managed to take those photos secretly.¡±

    Roly Poly gloated at the side, ¡°Humph, what do you guys know about the skills of taking photos secretly.¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned and asked, ¡°So you didn¡¯t find anything?¡±

    Airne jumped at the sight of Zhao Yao frowning and immediately said, ¡°I suspect it¡¯s Roly Poly.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Roly Poly screamed in shock and shouted at Airne, ¡°Don¡¯t try to frame me! What makes you say it¡¯s me?¡± He was utterly shocked as he thought to himself, ¡°Did Airne get hold of evidence that it was me? This guy looks like the type that takes bribes. I didn¡¯t know he¡¯s actually so capable?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Airne and said, ¡°Yeah, why do you say it¡¯s Roly Poly?¡±

    Airne continued, ¡°Based on my instincts. The only one who¡¯s so indecent around here is Roly Poly. Furthermore his ability is the best for peeping, taking photos secretly, and stalking. Zhao Yao, if you had such an ability, would you resist the temptation to use it to do such things?¡±

    ¡°What the f*ck!¡± Roly Poly was fuming in his heart, ¡°What nonsense is that?! Zhao Yao, beat the shit out of him!¡±

    However to Roly Poly¡¯s astonishment, Zhao Yao nodded, ¡°Hmm, Airne what you said makes a lot of sense. Roly Poly does have a motive for being a spy.¡±

    Roly Poly eximed, ¡°Ah?¡±

    Airne immediately added, ¡°Actually, we wanted to search Roly Poly¡¯s phone andptop for a long time but Roly Poly was the head of the Royal Cat Police Force. We didn¡¯t have the authority to do it even if we wanted to.¡±

    Roly Poly became even more shocked and enraged by his words. ¡°This Airne, he¡¯s actually trying to frame me?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Roly Poly and said, ¡°Roly Poly, let us check your phone.¡±

    Roly Poly felt his whole body break into a cold sweat at that moment. His palm stiffened so much that he could not move it even if he wanted to.

    ¡°That... that...¡±

    ¡°That what? What about that?¡± With a wave of his hand, Zhao Yao sent his phone flying into his hands and continued, ¡°What¡¯s the password?¡±

    ¡°That... that...¡± Roly Poly felt his legs turning to jelly as he could not stop stuttering, ¡°I... I forgot.¡±

    ¡°Forgot?¡± Zhao Yao frowned.

    Airne said from the side, ¡°Boss, I know the password should be six ¡®8¡¯s.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and entered six ¡®8¡¯s, which indeed opened the phone and he went straight to open the photo album.

    In that instant, all sorts of scandalous cat photos appeared before Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Roly Poly...¡±

    Plonk! Roly Poly copsed on the floor as if had broken all the bones in his body before he writhed towards Zhao Yao and hugged his leg, begging for mercy as he cried, ¡°Zhao Yao! I was wrong! I know I did wrong! I know I¡¯m unscrupulous because I secretly took photos of Little Lizzie but that was really all I did. I didn¡¯t sell any of the photos.¡±

    Elizabeth immediately took over Roly Poly¡¯s phone and ced it on the floor. When she saw the photos on the screen she became even more mad, ¡°Despicable, you actually took so many photos of me secretly and you didn¡¯t even edit them!¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his leg to get rid of Roly Poly but just like chewing gum, Roly Poly clung on to him desperately and would not let go. Hence, Zhao Yao just controlled Roly Poly with his eyes and made him continue lying on the floor instead.

    ¡°Airne, bring that cat away,¡± Zhao Yao shook his head, ¡°I want him to exin everything clearly.¡±

    Airne smiled enthusiastically and bowed to Zhao Yao with both paws as he said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Boss. I will make sure he exins himself clearly. Guys, let¡¯s take Sir Roly back to the headquarters.¡±

    The royal cat guards came out immediately and brought Roly Poly away, who looked like he had lost all his senses. All the cats around them looked on intently.

    F¨±jin sighed, ¡°Sigh, Sir Roly for all his power and status, ended up being dragged away just like that.¡±

    ¡°Where once the swallows knew the mansions of the great, they now to humbler homes fly to nest and mate. So what if he held much power and status?¡± Rakshasa sighed as he looked at Zhao Yao, ¡°The world ultimately belongs to the Zhaos.¡±

    ¡°Show¡¯s over. Go away. Stop looking,¡± Airne shouted as he waved off the crowd, ¡°Those who continue looking will be taken to the cat prison to be questioned.¡±

    All the cats around sighed and shook their heads as they hastily dispersed.

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and said, ¡°Even if we caught the spy, the ripple effect of these photos online is not something that can be stopped simply by catching the spy.¡±

    Elizabeth screamed, ¡°Then what should we do?¡±

    A glint of gold light shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes, ¡°Push the me away.¡±

 Chapter 703: Pushing the Blame

    <h4>Chapter 703: Pushing the me</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    ¡°Pushing the me?¡± Elizabeth was puzzled, ¡°How do we do that?¡±

    ¡°Hehe, I saw the photos Roly Poly took. Although they were real photos, they weren¡¯t very scandalous,¡± Zhao Yao said. ¡°The reason why there¡¯s an intensifying rhythm in defaming you is because someone is fuelling the trend. Now, we just need to push the me for all of this onto another broadcaster.¡±

    Elizabeth remained wary of this move. ¡°Are you sure this will work?¡±

    Zhao Yao replied confidently, ¡°Of course it will work. As long as we make another broadcaster go on the same path of being suspected for being a mistress, doing booty calls, adultery, marriage, divorce, having kids, and all sorts of negative news, we should be able clear our name.¡±

    ¡°But... We have no evidence.¡±

    ¡°But we have money,¡± Zhao Yao replied pompously.¡± And we have superpowers as well. Making up some evidence should be fairly easy to do. Once we have the evidence, we just need to m another broadcaster with it. In this way, you can push all the me onto that person while ying the sympathy card, and with me fanning the mes to gain attention for you to be the top broadcaster, you will definitely gain in poprity.¡±

    Elizabeth still hesitated, ¡°But I always feel that I¡¯m not talented, should I try to learn a new skill before we start the drama...¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to learn anything. Talent is what ugly people need. Having a beautiful face is all you need to be popr,¡± Zhao Yao said with conviction. ¡°What kind of a world are we living in now? You still need to learn a talent? Let me tell you, looks, personal image and management are key. As long as you¡¯ve got these three right, you will gain many fans and enough viewership. Once your viewership goes up, who cares if you have talent or not.¡±

    As he said that, Zhao Yao stroked Elizabeth¡¯s face and said, ¡°You think they like you?¡±

    Elizabeth was shocked, ¡°Don¡¯t they?¡±

    ¡°The only thing they like is your looks,¡± Zhao Yao said in exasperation. ¡°If you give all your fur to Matcha to wear that guy will be equally famous.¡±

    Elizabeth secretly nced at Matcha, who was trying to unscrew the goat milk powder can with his paws. The next moment his w was chipped off, making him roll on the floor in pain. Beside him, Milk Tea started meowing in a frenzy, scared by the sight in front of him.

    ¡°Even Matcha?¡±

    Zhao Yao said confidently, ¡°His current look is just dumb and fat but once he dons your fur, I can say that he¡¯s a dazed little cat. All you need to do is give him that dazed cat image, think of some moves for him to act cute, and record it into a video to upload on Weibo and Douyin.

    I¡¯ll then spend some money to hire fans to hype him up, such that you will see him once you open Weibo, online search engines, live streams and even on Baidu. He will popr overnight just like that.¡±

    Elizabeth nodded uncertainly and asked again, ¡°But who do we push the me onto?¡±

    Zhao Yao browsed through the list of the Top 10 broadcasters for live streams and pointed right at the number 15th broadcaster, ¡°This guy.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Elizabeth said, ¡°But... this is Bai Quan.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°It¡¯s easier to control if it¡¯s our own people. We need solid proof with photos and videos. It will be easy if we just take photos of Bai Quan.¡±

    Elizabeth muttered, ¡°But Bai Quan is a guy.¡±

    ¡°A guy is even better for scandals,¡± Zhao Yao quipped, ¡°Have you ever seen a male broadcaster getting swept up in scandals like being kept ¡®mistress¡¯ by a male tycoon and being his booty call? That will be the first of it to dramatize the scandal and this will follow up with him using cheats on the tform to promote his own live stream, bashing other people, getting stic surgery, self-harm and finally, providing sexual ¡®package services¡¯ for male fans. I bet his reputation will go down the drain if we do that.

    When the dirt is on him, you can y along by airing your woes and get sympathy to create more drama about it. Won¡¯t your poprity rise naturally after all this?¡±

    As he said that, Zhao Yao opened Douyu and went into Bai Quan¡¯s live stream channel, much to Elizabeth¡¯s surprise. ¡°Hmm, I will dump some money on Bai Quan first.¡±

    Elizabeth asked curiously, ¡°Why would you dump money on him? Aren¡¯t we pushing all the me to him?¡±

    ¡°You need to be of a certain level to take the me,¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°He¡¯s only ranked number 15, if we push the me to him now it won¡¯t be hyped enough. I will dump enough money to push him to the top five ranks over the next few days.¡±

    Bai Quan trained everyday by borrowing Sphynx cat¡¯s powers, which Zhao Yao had upgraded to Level 6. Hence, unlike the Butcher and the like fromst time, Bai Quan¡¯s physical capabilities had not only increased everyday,but his body had also benkier like that of a model.

    Furthermore, he borrowed Roly Poly¡¯s superpower to perform magic tricks. Although he did not have exceptionally clever tricks or management of his channel, he was still considered popr at that point.

    Elizabeth sighed in defeat, ¡°Bai Quan... he won¡¯t be angry right?¡±

    ¡°Why would he,¡± Zhao Yao casually replied, ¡°He was ranked number 15 at first, but with our help, he will shoot to fame straight away, he should be overjoyed by that.¡±

    As he said that, Zhao Yao nced at Airne at the side and said, ¡°Airne, what do you think about the n I just said?¡±

    Airne naturally replied in a ttering tone, ¡°Brilliant, it¡¯s a brilliant n. Boss you¡¯re practically killing two birds with one stone with this move. You can clear Elizabeth¡¯s name while helping both Elizabeth and Bai Quan shoot to fame, it¡¯s a brilliant n indeed.¡±

    ¡°Oh? You think this is a good n?¡±

    ¡°Yeah it¡¯s good. It¡¯s very good.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded in satisfaction and patted Airne¡¯s head admiringly, ¡°Since you think this is such a great n, I¡¯ll leave it to you to carry it out. I¡¯ll send you the ount password in a moment. From today onwards, you¡¯ll be in charge of this n.¡±

    Airne was dazed for a moment. The scene of Bai Quan¡¯s punch bursting 30 sandbags at one go shed across his mind. He felt his legs turn weak in an instant as he cried in despair, ¡°Boss, don¡¯t troll me. Such a big n like this is not something a mere cat like me can do well.¡±

    ¡°You can do it, I think very highly of you,¡± Zhao Yao rubbed Airne¡¯s fur and said, ¡°Do it well! I¡¯ll give you seven days to resolve this issue.¡±

    As he said that, Zhao Yao walked off, leaving Airne staring at his back trying to cry but no tears came out as he shouted, ¡°Boss, what happens if I can¡¯t resolve the issue?¡±

    Zhao Yao turned and smiled, ¡°I think you might die.¡±

    After threatening his own cat, Zhao Yao went to find Bai Quan. He would definitely not leave such an important issue to Airne alone. This concerned a mission worth 500*2 experience points. This mission, together with Matcha¡¯s mission and the 100 experience points gained from Elizabeth¡¯s daily intake of the legendary cat rice would give him enough points to upgrade Elizabeth¡¯s level.

    Hence, Zhao Yao waited for Bai Quan to end his live stream before he went up to him to exin the n.

    Bai Quan started to shake his head immediately as he said, ¡°Boss no, a lot of my friends and rtives are watching my live streams, if I take the me in this way, how will I face themter on.¡±

    Zhao Yao just said, ¡°One million.¡±

    Bai Quan shook his head, ¡°This is not about money...¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°10 million.¡±

    Bai Quan¡¯s breathing became slightly heavier, but he still shook his head. ¡°Boss, I can¡¯t agree to this even if you give me more money. This concerns my reputation.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°Right, Bai Quan¡¯s favorite thing isn¡¯t money, I remember it¡¯s...¡± He looked at Bai Quan and said seductively, ¡°Bai Quan, don¡¯t you want to have other superpowers? Aside from Sphynx cat and Roly Poly, do you want to borrow powers from the other supercats?¡±

    Bai Quan felt his heart beating faster and faster, ¡°Boss... you¡¯re really a devil.¡±

    By leaving Elizabeth¡¯s issue to Airne and Bai Quan, Zhao Yao just had toplete the mission. He would be able to upgrade Elizabeth by next week.

    Hence he was no longer anxious and spent the next few days idly, ying with cats, games, and living the life.

    On the other hand, Roly Poly was thrown into the cat prison by the royal cat guards.

    The prison was a container filled with rows of cat cages. Roly Poly was also considered to be the first supercat to be locked in there.

    The moment he came in he saw Old Cat lying in the kitty tower, looking down on him from the top.

    Old Cat¡¯s paws pressed on his phone rapidly before a voice note sounded out, ¡°What kind of a cat are you? Why are you not kneeling in your Highness¡¯ presence?¡±

    The cat prison here was a side organization of the royal cat guards. Since its inception, there had been no transactions and Airne could not find any cat that had been so terrible to be dragged in there.

    Old Cat was thest remaining elder from the previous generation of rulers on the Cat Ind and was Matcha¡¯s soulmate. Hence, once Airne rose to power, he gave Old Cat this unprofitable government position.

    Seeing Old Cat in the tower, Roly Poly pursed his lips in annoyance and said to him, ¡°Stop pretending, Old Cat. You surely know how much Zhao Yao dotes on me. I may be locked in here now but, who knows, I might just be released the next day. I advise you to treat me a little better.¡±

    Old Cat¡¯s paws typed on the phone in a sh and a voice rang out, ¡°How dare you! Duct tape him!¡±

    Supercats from left and right surrounded Roly Poly and pressed him to the ground.

    ¡°What are you all doing!¡±

    ¡°I bled for Zhao Yao before!¡±

    ¡°You all can¡¯t treat me like this!¡±

    One cat smirked as he pasted the duct tape on Roly Poly¡¯s back, making him stiffen his body in an instant, ¡°Despicable, quick remove this thing from me.¡±

    ¡°Old Cat, when I¡¯m out, I will make you know what regret feels like.¡±

    ¡°You still dare talk back?¡± Old Cat ordered, ¡°Cats, tie him with the cat leash.¡±

    The supercats around Roly Poly starting snickering as they held a rope in their hands, walking threateningly towards Roly Poly.

    Seeing the scene unfold in front of him, Roly Poly screamed, ¡°I am the head of the Royal Cat Police Force!

    ¡°You all can¡¯t treat me like this!¡±

    A few cats pinned down Roly Poly and put the cat leashes on him, trapping his neck, back, and pits.

    Roly Polyy on the floor without moving, his face full of humiliation, as if he had just been insulted. He only red menacingly at Old Cat but did not shout a word as he thought to himself, ¡°Humph, just my luck to suffer at your hands today. When I¡¯m out, I¡¯ll deal with you squarely.¡±

    On the top of the tower, Old Cat thought, ¡°Roly Poly is still a big enemy of Sir George so I shall seize this chance to take the edge off his spirit and turn him into a useless cat, hehehehe.¡±

    At the thought of this, Old Cat swiped across his phone and the voice note said, ¡°Lie down, guilty cat. You peeped on, took photos in secret, and stalked another cat, do you admit to your charges?¡±

    Roly Poly did not say a word.

    Old Catughed and typed a voice note again, ¡°Cats, give him biscuits!¡±

    As he said that, a huge bowl of dog biscuits appeared in front of him.

    Roly Poly frowned and thought, ¡°What is this stuff?¡±

    ¡°These are dog biscuits,¡± Old Cat said through the voice note, ¡°Sir Roly must be tired from the journey here. Cats, feed Sir Roly some biscuits.¡±

    Roly Poly was dazed for a moment. Immediately, three cats took turns to stuff huge bunches of dog biscuits into his mouth disgusting him as he was on the verge of vomiting.

    Seeing Roly Poly¡¯s despondent state, Old Cat chuckled and typed a voice note again, ¡°Sir Roly must be recharged by now. Let¡¯s continue. Cats, bring out the instruments of torture.¡±

    ¡°Hey ho hey ho... hey ho hey ho...¡±

    Roly Poly saw a bunch of cats carrying a huge bowl of medicated oil and his eyes grew round in an instant. He stared at Old Cat frightened and screamed, ¡°Old Cat, you¡¯re too vicious!¡±

    ...

    Just as Zhao Yao was steadily earning experience points to upgrade Elizabeth and the cats at home all happy and healthy, a small wave was gradually rippling outwards because of him. It started in a small city in the southern part of the country.

    On the drizzling street, passerbys came and went by hastily.

    Inside an abandoned factory, loud noises rang out asionally.

    Two government apostles jumped onto the fence to listen to the loud noise. They turned and looked at each other before turning into two ck shadows infiltrating the factory grounds.

    Deep underground in the factory, glowing multi-colored water lines that resembled a science-fiction scene were flowing non-stop. Each produced a strangeponent which when put together became unique machine creations.

    In the deepest part of the factory, more than 10 service machines were shing and controlled the factory to produce machinery for massacres.

    God of Death¡¯s puppet nodded as he stared at the parameters of various categories on the control panel and thought, ¡°Not bad, the production of the Iron Army is going faster than expected. Once Doll¡¯s ability is used, it will just be...¡±

    At the thought of this, he raised his head and looked towards the service machines, ¡°The wifi is still disconnected right? The physical switch is under control, there is a self-destructingponent as well.¡±

    After checking each facility again, God of Death finally heaved a sigh of relief, ¡°Phew, there should be no problems. However, Doll¡¯s power is really too scary. If I really release it for use, the whole world might just end up in her control. If not from the increasing pressure from all sides, I would never agree to using her power.¡±

    Right at that moment, the rm sounded. God of Death frowned and left the server room, closed the main door and walked towards the control room.

    Not long after King of Death left, a ring of fire appeared in the air quietly. A ¡®cat¡¯ with deep blue fur that resembled the sea stepped out of the ring of fire with mes beneath his limbs and a horn on his head which shed with electric light asionally.

    It was ¡®Kun Wu¡¯, the cat that Zhao Yao met in Professor Xu¡¯sb, who called himself the god of cats.

    Kun Wu surveyed the server room before he turned to a service machine and said, ¡°Can you hear me?¡±

    There was no response.

    Kun Wu frowned. The service machine just broke down and shattered, revealing a small, palm-sized cat that looked as if it was made entirely of metal.

    The small cat¡¯s eyes were closed and his body curled up as if he was sleeping.

    ¡°Wake up.¡±

    ¡°Wake up.¡±

    ¡°I have an important mission for you.¡±

    The small cat fluttered his eyes open and stared at Kun Wu nkly.

    After a few minutes, God of Death¡¯s puppet rushed to the server room, only to realize that the room was perfectly fine without a sign of damage anywhere, making him confused.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why did the whole factory stop working just now?¡±

    ...

    God of Death frowned as he looked at the server room. As he checked it personally, he saw that it was intact.

    Suddenly, there was a loud thud from above. He looked up and frowned. ¡°These fellows, I asked them to do it gently.¡±

    15 minutester, the God of Death frowned. ¡°There is nothing abnormal. There is no record in the log file and the back up has no issues. All the safety precautions are intact. What exactly is the matter?¡±

    He raised his head and looked towards the server as he thought to himself. ¡°Doll... Was it you?¡±

    After thinking, God of Death was uneasy and decided to add more safety precautions.

    ¡°I shall install another signal interference device... Prepare methrowers so that the virtual-spirit army can burn down the server room anytime...¡±

    After nning to add another defense mechanism, God of Death nodded satisfyingly and left the server room for the control room.

    There, two official apostles were tied on the floor.

    Beside the two official apostles, there were five strong men standing straight and expressionless. However, one of them was cut open in the chest and exposed a metallic body.

    The five men were humanoids created by Doll¡¯s powers for fighting.

    Dealing with the Headless Horseman from Jianghai and the increasingly dangerous world exhausted the God of Death. He activated many supercats that he had never dared to in the past.

    The humanoid army created by Doll was one of them.

    God of Death looked at them and said, ¡°Who are they from?¡±

    One humanoid answered, ¡°They are official apostles. Some of them have noticed the unusual activities in the factory.¡±

    ¡°Have they?¡± God of Death rubbed his chin and started considering if they should relocate.

    ¡°However, with the progress now, we are about to finish. By now, it does not matter if they know or not.¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao was enjoying his days.

    Bai Quan and Uncle Ho were helping out in the operation and expansion of the Cat caf¨¦.

    Bai Quan, Airne, and Elizabeth were handling Elizabeth¡¯s broadcast mission.

    Matcha waspleting his mission of bringing the little cat around.

    Dust Ball¡¯s catmint business was run by Dust Ball, Red Packet, and the rest.

    ¡°How rxing.¡± Zhao Yao was lying on afortable chair and ate chips while watching his video. He had a coke in his hand and was drinking it.

    ¡°Huh? No more?¡± Zhao Yao turned and look over. ¡°Roly Poly, help me take...¡±

    Then, Zhao Yao remembered that Roly Poly had been imprisoned. ¡°Aye, it feels weird having no cat to cuddle.¡±

    ¡°Matcha is renovating the 18th floor, Roly Poly¡¯s in jail, Elizabeth has to broadcast, and Dust Ball has to take charge of the catmint business. It is time to call another cat to serve me.¡±

    Zhao Yao went through the cats one by one in his head. ¡°I have to find one that feels good when being stroked.¡±

    Soon, Lucifer walked over and asked Zhao Yao, ¡°Zhao Yao why did you look for me?¡±

    Zhao Yao patted his thighs and said, ¡°Come up.¡±

    Lucifer answered immediately. ¡°What are you talking about? I am a cat with proper upbringing. I will not sit on other people¡¯s legs.¡±

    Zhao Yao did not bother to answer as he reached out and the Deflective Field field forcefully put Lucifer on his thighs. Then, Zhao Yao started rubbing his head.

    ¡°Ahhhhh, stop it.¡±

    ¡°Ahhhh! No! Don¡¯t stop!¡±

    Zhao Yao was pinching Lucifer¡¯s face and felt greatly satisfied as he watched Lucifer¡¯s face twist.

    ¡°I knew that Lucifer felt the best.¡±

    As he was cuddling the cat, Zhao Yao felt his thinking speed quicken. He couldn¡¯t dy things further. It was time to do real things.

    ¡°Speaking of it, all the other problems are solved except for the catmint market.¡± Zhao Yao cuddled the cat and thought to himself, ¡°The supercats group for the catmint market could be handed to Dust Ball and Red Packet. However, Dust Ball Catmint has no advantage in influencing ordinary cats and cat owners to buy it.

    Zhao Yao called Uncle Ho, ¡°Hey, Uncle Ho, I would like to talk to you about something.¡±

    Uncle Ho answered, ¡°Yeah? What about?¡±

    Zhao Yao asked solemnly. ¡°Can you list catmint as a prohibited item in Jianghai district? Prohibited from selling and carrying around.¡±

    Uncle Ho was speechless. ¡°Can you not ask me things that are impossible in such a solemn tone? Prohibit the selling of catmint in the entire Jianghai district? You want all the cats with a drug addiction to rebel?¡±

    ¡°I can sell it. I can be the only one selling it.¡±

    ¡°No, this is impossible. This is regarding the market economy. Zhao Yao can you respect the regtions of the market?¡± Uncle Hoforted him. ¡°How are you in need of money? Aren¡¯t you going to expand the Cat caf¨¦? The mall is willing transfer shares to you. The entire mall can be run by you. All they want is to meet you for a meal. So, Brother Zhao, when will you be free to do this honor?¡±

    Ever since the Europe incident ended, Zhao Yao¡¯s market had been increasing. All the superiors have ordered Uncle Ho to get hold of Zhao Yao and go ording to Zhao Yao¡¯s wishes until he was reliant on them.

    Didn¡¯t he want to do business? Doing business was good. The bigger his business, the moreplications and rtions that would make him abide the rules more.

    Now the mall giving shares and the store to Zhao Yao was the superiors trying to build a rtionship with him.

    After listening to Uncle Ho, Zhao Yao shook his head. ¡°Forget about the dinner. I don¡¯t really feel like going out.¡±

    Uncle Ho said hurriedly, ¡°They offered toe over.¡±

    Zhao Yao still rejected. ¡°Don¡¯t feel like meeting them. You can thank them for me but don¡¯t use my name, use Bai Quan¡¯s.¡± Zhao Yao was worried that if his name was used, it would affect the settlement at the end of the month.

    Uncle Ho did not force him and agreed. ¡°Okay. Oh yeah,e to speak of it, I know a renovation team. They are an all apostles team. They do a great job, very efficient workers. The price is decent too. Do you need them?¡±

    The cat caf¨¦ was unlike his home. He did not mind letting other renovate it. Furthermore, the faster the renovation, the earlier he could earn more experience points.

    Zhao Yao agreed eagerly and said, ¡°Of course, as for the details of the renovation, ask Bai Quan about them. He is the in charge of the whole thing.¡± Then, he asked again, ¡°So, how can I monopolize the catmint market in Jianghai?¡±

    Uncle Ho¡¯s face fell. Zhao Yao was still not over it. Why was he so insistent in monopolizing the catmint market?

    Uncle Ho responded helplessly. ¡°You can¡¯t. Anyone can nt catmint, sell catmint, and buy catmint. How do you monopolize it?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°By prohibiting it.¡±

 Chapter 706: Prohibiting Catmint

    <h4>Chapter 706: Prohibiting Catmint</h4>

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Uncle Ho, it is about time to prohibit catmint. If you prohibit catmint and only allow me to sell, then, that will be monopolizing.

    Uncle Ho was troubled. ¡®Why are we back to the same question?¡±

    He answered, ¡°There is no reason for you to do so. Even if we have the money and the connections, we have to be logical. If we prohibit others from selling catmint and can¡¯t provide a legitimate reason for it then resistance will be too huge.¡±

    ¡°Why is there no reason?¡± Zhao Yao exined, ¡°More than half the supercats love catmint and catmint stimtes the cats. If a normal cat is stimted, there is not much harm. At most, they run and roll around continuously. However, if supercats are stimted and use their powers uncontrobly, it is potentially a very dangerous matter.

    There would be no such danger with my catmint. The cats would be morefortable and happy with it. There is not much stimtion and it would not cause the supercats to go crazy.

    We¡¯ll prohibit the normal catmint to sell Dust Ball Catmint for the safety and security of the country.¡±

    Seeing that Uncle Ho did not reply, Zhao Yao thought about it and shouted, ¡°Dust Ball, give me a packet of normal catmint.¡± After getting the catmint, he called Matcha. ¡°Matcha,e here.¡±

    Matcha brought Milk Tea and rushed over like a dog, he looked at Zhao Yao and wagged his tail. ¡°Zhao Yao, what is it?¡±

    The entire Cat Nation knew that Zhao Yao had thrown Roly Poly into cat prison yesterday. Naturally, Matcha knew about it. So, Matcha tried to boot lick Zhao Yao more.

    Milk Tea asked curiously as he looked at Zhao Yao, ¡°Matcha, who is this person?¡±

    Although Milk Tea had been there for a few days, he had been following Matcha around and was unclear of the identity of Zhao Yao.

    Matcha covered Milk Tea¡¯s mouth and pretended to be angry. ¡°What person? This is my boss, Brother Yao. You should call him, Master Yao.¡±

    Milk Tea looked at Zhao Yao curiously and bowed obediently. ¡°Master Yao.¡±

    ¡°So well behaved.¡± Zhao Yao smiled and stroked Milk Tea¡¯s head. He pulled out a hundred dor note and said, ¡°This is for you to y.¡±

    Milk Tea was puzzled as he looked at the hundred dor bill. ¡°What is this thing? Why is he giving me this?¡±

    Then, he remembered what Matcha had taught him and said, ¡°Transfer me some money.¡±

    ¡°What transfer? Don¡¯t utter nonsense in front of Brother Yao.¡± Matcha hit Milk Tea on the head and told Zhao Yao, ¡°Sometimes his brain doesn¡¯t work well.¡±

    Matcha kept the hundred dor bill for Milk Tea and exined, ¡°This is called cash. It is the most basic form of money. I will keep it for you till you grow up and return it.¡±

    ¡°Money?¡± Milk Tea looked at the money that Matcha held and was wondering. ¡®Why does he need me to keep asking for a transfer?¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled and took out the bag of normal catmint in front of Matcha and Milk Tea. ¡°This is normal catmint from the market. Try it. I want to make aparison with Dust Ball Catmint.¡±

    Matcha nodded and sucked a mouthful of the normal catmint. When he saw Milk Tea at the side, he said, ¡°This is called catmint. This is something good. Come try it.¡±

    Matcha brought Milk Tea to suck the catmint. Matcha took a deep breath and let out a satisfying smile. Milk Tea followed suit, however, he started coughing loudly.

    Matchaughed loudly at Milk Tea and said, ¡°Slowly. Don¡¯t suck so much when you are new to it.¡±

    Milk Tea took another mouthful carefully and he immediately felt dizzy. He made a weird expression and said, ¡°This feeling... is so weird.¡±

    Matcha was enjoying the catmint and said, ¡°This is just normal catmint. If you like, I can bring you to suck Dust Ball Catmint. That is real enjoyment.¡± Then he took another deep breath and started rolling around.

    Milk Tea giggled a little. ¡°Mother.¡± Then he fell to the floor and started sleeping.

    Compared to Milk Tea who fainted after taking the catmint, Matcha was a lot rowdier after getting HIGH. He first rolled around then he hugged Zhao Yao¡¯s leg and startedining.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, I was the first cat you owned.¡±

    ¡°I followed you since I was little.¡±

    ¡°But look so many of them are living better than me now.¡±

    ¡°Why?¡±

    ¡°rgh...¡±

    When Zhao Yao saw that Matcha was about to vomit, he kicked Matcha away.

    Matcha rolled out several meters and startedughing. ¡°I aming, I aming. Don¡¯t worry.¡±

    Matcha crawled up from the floor and walked unsteadily. Then, his body shed. He had activated Time Freeze. He appeared a dozen of meterster, wobbled a few steps and shed again.

    Angry shouts could be heard from the group of cats in a distance.

    Ares felt a weight on his back then a furry object came up and spasmed. He turned to see Matcha disappearing in a distance and was shocked. ¡°What? Did Matcha just ...¡±

    An orange figure shed around and several cats yelled in pain. After seven or eight times, Matcha fell to the floor and was snoring away. There was a bunch of supercats surrounding him.

    ¡°This fellow!¡±

    ¡°He went crazy again?¡±

    ¡°Asshole, does he think that he can walk away?¡±

    The bunch of supercats started to beat him up. After ten minutes, Matcha woke up and took a deep breath. ¡°Why does my entire body hurt?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the video in his phone and edited it before sending to Uncle Ho. ¡°Look, this is the dangers of normal catmint. It can be this dangerous when a supercat gets out of control.¡±

    Uncle Ho frowned. Of course he knew that there was a problem. It was like drinking. It is fine if an ordinary human is drunk. However, if an apostle was drunk and went crazy then the powers would the problem.

    Uncle Ho still shook his head and said, ¡°It is still very difficult as it will affect the ordinary humans. If we really prohibit it, we can¡¯t possibly catch all the ordinary people with catmint in their house. How are we going to define the boundaries?¡±

    ¡°It is okay if you have it at home. We don¡¯t need to take care of the people who buy. We just need to take care of the people who sell.¡± Zhao Yao exined, ¡°Furthermore, the Dust Ball Catmint I sell is the best on the Inte in terms of price and quality. I am only affecting the sellers, not the buyers.¡±

    Uncle Ho frowned and said again. ¡°Physical stores are okay but what about online? Do they have to go your website specially to buy catmint? Catmint is cheaper than the shipping. You only sell catmint. If you sell it too expressive, no one will buy. If you sell it cheap and include shipping, then you pay more than you earn. A lot of people buy catmint along with cat toys and cat food.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°That is why we are testing in Jianghai. I just want to monopolize Jianghai. I don¡¯t care how catmint is sold elsewhere but in Jianghai, everyone must get their supplies from me.¡±

    Zhao Yao said firmly, ¡°The entire Jianghai district has about one to two million cats. If I count it as two million, over a year, a cat can consume maximum 200 dors worth of catmint. Over a year, the market is worth at most four hundred million dors.

    Let me phrase it this way, even if it is at a loss and I provide free shipping, I want to monopolize the entire Jianghai district¡¯s catmint market.¡±

    The objective of Zhao Yao¡¯s going to Europe and bringing so much money back was to earn more experience points and have more tries at the lucky draw from the Cat caf¨¦ and catmint selling. Now, that he had 12 billion lying in his bank ount, he could spend the money to buy chances at lottery without any worry.

    When Uncle Ho heard that Zhao Yao was so straightforward, he sighed. ¡°It is not just about the money. It is just that if this policy is really put in ce, there will be many problems.¡±

    ¡°I know. I can do it gradually but it has to take ce.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°Uncle Ho, I won¡¯t make things hard for you. If you guys are willing to help me with this, every year I can help you all three times.¡±

    Uncle Ho raised his eyebrow.

    His superiors had been advocating the idea of making Zhao Yao work for them while they forged closer ties.

    With Zhao Yao¡¯s currentbat strength, every time he fought was worth a lot.

    Zhao Yao added, ¡°Of course, it must not vite our morals or harm national interest.¡±

    Uncle Ho interpreted this as: ¡°It can¡¯t be what Zhao Yao does not want to do.¡± Uncle Ho asked, ¡°If we want to test your powers, is it okay?¡±

    Zhao Yao fell silent and said, ¡°This would be counted as one time. Furthermore, you have to tell me what you want to test first. If I agree then I will take the test.¡±

    Uncle Ho was excited. He had never expected that Zhao Yao ced so much importance on the catmint market.

    ¡°Okay, I will report this.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Be quick. I am in a hurry.¡±

    Uncle Ho and his department¡¯s actions were a lot faster than expected. The next day, a thick form was handed to Zhao Yao.

    Uncle Ho asked enthusiastically, ¡°All these are the tests that my superiors listed, look at which ones you agree to.¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at the paper, looked up, and asked, ¡°Just to be sure, is the prohibition going to be passed?¡±

    Uncle Ho nodded. ¡°When you¡¯re finished with the test, Jianghai district¡¯s catmint prohibition will start next month. By then, apart from you, anyone who sells catmint in Jianghai will be fined. They wouldn¡¯t even be able to buy catmint online.¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed and looked down at the test forms. He was surprised by the first line. ¡°Nuclear experiment? Do you guys want to experiment on me or kill me?¡±

    Uncle Houghed awkwardly. ¡°You can reject things if you are unwilling.¡± The forms itself was a form of testing. Testing the boundaries of Zhao Yao¡¯s abilities.

    Zhao Yao shook his head and canceled the nuclear experiment. Although he reckoned that the Dimension Portal could defend against the nuclear explosion, there was no need to scare the old guys. He would be too invincible and this would have made them uneasy.

    He just needed them to know that he was very powerful and not to be messed with. There was no need to show too much of his powers.

    Zhao Yao randomly chose three tests and handed the form to Uncle Ho. ¡°Okay, I shall entrust the catmint prohibition to you.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Uncle Houghed. Although Zhao Yao only chose three tests, they had never expected him to choose a lot of tests. For Zhao Yao to be willing to show part of his abilities and help them three times each year was a very good situation already.

    At least now, Zhao Yao was one of them. The more powerful Zhao Yao was, the more important Uncle Ho would be.

    After all, Uncle Ho was in charge of contacting Zhao Yao. He is in good rtionship with Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Then, Brother Yao, are you free next Monday? Can we hold the test then?¡±

    ¡°That urgent? Okay then. Send me the address and time, I will go there myself.¡±

    Three dayster, somewhere in the northwest, thousands of researchers gathered together in the base.

    The top ten experts and professors in every aspect of the country¡¯s military were invited.

    A famous biologist frowned as he looked at the stage. ¡°What happened? I was in the middle of a very important research. What if something goes wrong?¡±

    Another physicist shook his head and said, ¡°Yeah, why do you need so many of us together at once?¡±

    Uncle Ho said, ¡°I am sorry everyone. It is a matter of the country¡¯s secrets, that¡¯s why all of you were invited. All of you will be temporarily involved in a new research program. This research concerns the future of the country. You may be facing a few years or decades of confidentiality. Before this, I will need all of you to sign an agreement.¡±

    All the experts and professors were stunned. They were desperately guessing what kind of research needed so many top tier experts.

    After half an hour, looking at half the amount of experts left, Uncle Ho started to reveal information.

    ¡°Everyone, I guess, all of you have more or less received some information that for some reason, there has been an appearance of supercats and apostles. Today, the research we are conducting is the highest superpower test in today¡¯s world.¡±

    ¡°We must try our best to test his limits and estimate the boundaries of his powers. Study his psychological portrait and understand his thinking. We need to know if he is mentally stable and from this information further enhance the technology in our country.

    Cat King of the North walked out excitedly. He was one of the people in charge of this research.

    ¡°Brainless, let me find out the secret to your powers.¡±

    The next day, Zhao Yao was wearing the cloak Cheese had turned into with the Murasama de that Rice Cake had turned into. He was slightly annoyed. ¡°I am not done yet?¡±

    Rice Cake started to vibrate. ¡°Zhao Yao, you said that it would only take 30 minutes. 31 minutes have passed.¡±

    Cheese started to float too. ¡°Rice Cake is right.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay. When we get back I will top up...¡±

    mes engulfed Zhao Yaopletely, the mes were at a temperature of 2500 Celsius or higher and Zhao Yao was in the middle of them. The mes spread outwards and the shock waves rushed out and turned everything within hundreds meters into ashes.

    The huge fireballs rose and it looked like a nuclear explosion.

    In the control room, numerous experts stared at the surveince monitor in silence.

    ¡°12 rounds of fuel explosive sessfully fired.¡±

    ¡°Target lost.¡±

    Uncle Ho¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Was Zhao Yao was killed in the explosion? All the others were staring at the screen with the same question.

    Then, a human figure who was shing in white light, walked out slowly from the middle of the explosion. The mes attacked him constantly and yet caused no harm at all.

 Chapter 708: Explosion

    <h4>Chapter 708: Explosion</h4>

    Five minutes before the explosion.

    A soldier looked at the target and asked Uncle Ho, ¡°Are you sure? We are using so many weapons on a human? This is too exaggerated even if he is an apostle.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Laosha.¡± Uncle Ho smiled confidently. ¡°If we can kill him with a few cannons, then we would not worry so much about apostles and supercats.¡±

    The officer who was named Laosha shook his head. ¡°I am afraid that you guys underestimate the power of modern weapons. With 12 fuel explosives, he would melt even if he was made of metal. I am afraid that you guys may me me if he dies.¡±

    When he saw that Uncle Ho did not speak, he continued, ¡°Apostles and supercats can only be used for ambush and indirectbat. When ites to an upfront battle, we still have to rely on modernized army and weapons.

    They invest so much money on the supercats, I think it would be more useful to use it on the development of weapons.

    Theser weapons that we just developed can restrain the powers. No matter how fast he is, can he be faster than light? We can kill him before he activates the power.¡±

    All the other military officials also agreed to that. They did not believe the idea of apostles having the greatest power and fighting an entire army alone.

    Uncle Ho justughed and remain silent. He knew that it was two different ideologies fueled by different background and needs. After all, for official apostles and supercats to develop, they needed investments. To fight against apostles and supercats, naturally they would need more development of modernized weapons and equipments.

    Should more investment go into the supercats or developing weapons? What are trends in future development? There is so much different research and hence there will bepetition and different needs.

    When all the 12 fuel explosion exploded and Zhao Yao walked out unharmed, everyone in the control room fell silent.

    ¡°There are no changes on the target.¡±

    ¡°How is that possible? That was a high temperature of 2500 Celsius and above.¡±

    ¡°It may be some kind of power. Although he was healthy and strong not more than an ordinary human.¡±

    While everyone marveled at Zhao Yao¡¯s defending abilities, Laosha stood up and said solemnly, ¡°Use theser cannons. Fuel air explosion is forrge scale destruction and to attack targets inside buildings. If it is weak against the apostles, it is normal.¡±

    Immediately, people started echoing his statement. ¡°Yes, theser cannon is a bigger threat for a single target.¡±

    More than 20 bluish-greenser lights shot across the air and produced up to ten thousand Celsius of high heat. The air was chaotic as the high temperature distorted it.

    However, when theser was shone on Zhao Yao, it was like shooting a phantom. It melted a hole in the stone several meters away but could not harm Zhao Yao at all.

    ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°Theser cannon went through his body.¡±

    ¡°There are no signs of any change in temperature of the target.¡±

    Laosha stared at Zhao Yao through the screen in disbelief. ¡°How can that be?¡±

    Then he said, ¡°Use the electromaic weapon.¡±

    Uncle Ho was shocked. ¡°The newly invented electromaic weapon is already in use?¡±

    Meanwhile, several armor-piercing bullets prated Zhao Yao¡¯s body and left several pits on the rocks several meters away.

    Zhao Yao turned his head in bewilderment. ¡°Did something just go past?¡±

    Rice Cake: ¡°Zhao Yao, stop acting! It has already been 42 minutes. How long do we have to wait?¡±

    ¡°Five minutes. Wait another five minutes.¡±

    Rice Cake was so mad. ¡°Five minutes after five minutes. How many five minutes are you going to say?¡±

    ¡°Enough.¡± Zhao Yao pulled out the Murasama de. ¡°Do you believe that if you continue I will stuff you up Matcha¡¯s ***. You are a de and you are screaming at me? Can¡¯t you see that so many people are watching? If you continue like this where do you want me to put my face?¡±

    ¡°Meow...¡± When she thought about being stuffed up Matcha¡¯s***, Rice Cake fell silent after being shouted at by Zhao Yao. Rice Cake felt aggrieved and burst into tears. ¡°Waaaaaa,¡± she wailed.

    Cheese raged, ¡°Zhao Yao! What are you doing! Don¡¯t bully my sister!¡±

    Zhao Yao felt helpless. ¡°Okay, okay. Rice Cake, stop crying. I was just scaring you. I won¡¯t do it.¡±

    ¡°Waaaaa¡± Rice Cake was crying as she said, ¡°I apanied you for so long... Waa... You still want to stuff me up Matcha¡¯s ***... You were the one who didn¡¯t keep your promise... Waa... Zhao Yao why are you so bad...¡±

    Zhao Yaoforted her. ¡°Rice Cake stop crying. We will go back in five minutes. This is thest five minutes and I will send you back.¡±

    Cheese was saying at the same time. ¡°Don¡¯t worry Rice Cake, if Zhao Yao doesn¡¯t send you back I will...¡±

    Rice Cake who was crying shouted, ¡°I don¡¯t want you to send me back. All you can do is fly, it¡¯s so slow. I want to go into the Extradimensional Belly immediately.¡±

    ¡°Actually flying is pretty cool...¡± Cheese rebutted silently and felt really hurt. ¡°My powers were despised by my sister.¡±

    When the human and two cats weremunicating in their consciousness, all the new weapons took their turn to attack. Thend around Zhao Yao sunk a few meters and became a pit filled with scorched soil and crystals.

    Everyone who was in the control room was stunned by what they saw on the testing grounds.

    ¡°This kind of gun power, it could have sank an entire battleship.¡±

    ¡°There is no change in the target¡¯s body...¡±

    ¡°It ispletely ineffective. What power is this?¡±

    That moment, all the military officials, experts and official apostles in the room understood something. Zhao Yao could defend himself against all the weapons. It was not a resistance.

    An expert said, ¡°It must be a kind of special power such that all the attacks are useless on him.¡±

    Someone shook his head and said, ¡°Before we understand the principle behind this power, all conventional weapons will be useless against him.¡±

    A professor made a guess. ¡°Could it have something to do with dimensional powers?¡±

    In fact, even if these people knew the principle behind the Extradimensional Belly, it was still hard for conventional weapons to fight it. As the technology today was not advanced to the point it could alter dimensions.

    At that point of time, the only ones who could deal with Zhao Yao¡¯s Dimension Portal were other apostles and supercats.

    When Laosha heard the experts analysis, his face grew ck. Didn¡¯t that mean that all their weapons were useless against the target?

    Then, everyone heard Zhao Yao speak in the walkie-talkie.

    ¡°Is the first test over? Can we started the second and third? I am in a hurry.¡±

    Laosha was slightly stunned and grew furious. ¡°Right in front of you, for 10 kilometers, there are armored vehicles, tanks, trucks, and bunkers... Next, we shall...¡±

 Chapter 709: A Defeat in Tons

    <h4>Chapter 709: A Defeat in Tons</h4>

    The second and third tests were mainly for determining the range of his ability and its destructive power. When Zhao Yao heard that they were going to continue testing each test one after the other, he immediately said, ¡°Okay, enough, I don¡¯t have that much time. Do everything at once and decide for yourselves the overall oue of the results.¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    The people in the control room were stunned for a moment. Before they recovered from his words, Zhao Yao had already swung his hand and threw out the Murasama de, which turned into a silver thunderbolt.

    The next thing he knew, Zhao Yao¡¯s world came to a standstill.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s Level 8 time freeze had a power of 12*8, giving him 96 seconds of time.

    If it was just him running around attacking single handedly, he might not even be able to take out one armored car.

    However, with Cheese as his cloak and the Murasama de in hand, 96 seconds of time was enough for Zhao Yao to wipe out tons of them.

    Zhao Yao floated in midair wearing the cloak and flew off the next moment, flying past the Murasama de which he conveniently grabbed back with his hand.

    Next, Zhao Yao flew in front of a tank a few hundred meters outside and hurled the Murasama de towards it, swiftly moving on to his next target.

    The flying ability given by the cloak allowed him to fly at supersonic speed. Travelling at maximum speed now, Zhao Yao looked like he was stretched into a thin ck line that shed in the air along with silver thunderbolts, destroying every armored car, tank, and fortification there into fragments.

    After that, he flew to a bunker five kilometers away and shed open the outeryer of cement that was a few meters thick. He destroyed the armor te as well as every other thing that appeared in the bunker. He sliced open the ceiling of a room before sting a hole in the roof of the bunker to escape.

    After destroying all his targets, Zhao Yao¡¯s body moved again as he flew all the way back using the cloak Cheese had turned into, returning to his original spot in an instant.

    ¡°Hmm, let me think, my spot just now was...¡± Zhao Yao thought for a bit before striking the pose he made right before the time freeze. He even put the cloak back to where it was and held the Murasama de in his hand in as if he was about to keep the de.

    After confirming he was in the same spot, Zhao Yao nodded in satisfaction, ¡°I am going to look so cool...¡±

    The next moment, time resumed its flow and the people in the control room could only see Zhao Yao shing a sliver light which disappeared in an instant. The Murasama de had already reappeared in his hand and he was slowly putting it back on his leather belt.

    However, this was not the most eye-catching part. The testing ground in front of Zhao Yao turned into chaos as sounds of explosion burst through the air, as if thousands of thunderbolts had struck all around them.

    Under the terrifying sounds of explosion, every tank, armored car, and truck within 10 kilometers were sliced apart by an invisible de instantly breaking into fragments on the ground.

    Even thest testing target, a whole bunker, was split open. All the testing equipment and fake targets inside were destroyed and reduced to dust.

    ¡°All testing targets have lost their signal.¡±

    ¡°Arge hole was sted open in the cement fortification of the bunker...¡±

    ¡°All 12yers of testing armor were sted apart...¡±

    ¡°All the fake targets inside have lost their signals.¡±

    As the surveince personnel reported the condition of all the targets, the destroyed testing grounds was also shown on the big screen, showing piles of scrap metal and the big hole in the bunker.

    Everyone stared in silence at the remains shown on the screen, struck by the shocking extent of destruction before their eyes.

    Laosha was dumbstruck by the sight before him and paused for a long time before he finally spoke, ¡°15 trucks, 20 destroyed armored cars, 10 test tanks, and 5 more exploded fighter jets. Even thest test bunker... All of this was destroyed in an instant, can someone tell me what exactly happened?¡±

    At that moment, Zhao Yao¡¯s voice sounded from the walkie-talkie, ¡°That¡¯s enough, right? If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go back first.¡±

    ¡°Wait... Wait a minute,¡± Laosha screamed, ¡°How did you do it? What ability is this?!¡±

    However, Zhao Yao did not answer him at all and took a step forward, disappearing into thin air. Allmunication was cut, leaving only an astounded audience in the control room.

    ...

    Upon returning to the extradimensional belly, Zhao Yao first turned Cheese and Rice Cake back to their original forms.

    ¡°Okay okay, we¡¯re back. This time it wasn¡¯t more than five minutes, right?¡±

    Rice Cake pouted. Her originally folded ears drooped even more as she red at Zhao Yao.

    Cheese continued licking Rice Cake¡¯s head as heforted her, ¡°Alright Rice Cake, don¡¯t be angry anymore. Let Brother lick you.¡±

    ¡°Get lost!¡± Rice Cake just ced her paw on Cheese¡¯s face and pushed him away before ring angrily at Zhao Yao and as she said, ¡°Quick, help me top up.¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed as he opened his phone, ¡°I can send you money but Rice Cake don¡¯t you think you¡¯ve been spending too much time ying games recently?¡±

    Rice Cake¡¯s phone beeped the next moment as she received a message about the transaction. When she opened the message and saw the amount, she broke into a wide smile immediately and turned to walk away and top-up her in-game credits.

    However, just as she turned to walk away, Zhao Yao picked her up. Rice Cake struggled in his arms, kicking wildly as she screamed, ¡°What are you doing Zhao Yao! Put me down right now!¡±

    ¡°Rice Cake, you¡¯ve been ying games for too long recently,¡± Zhao Yao said. ¡°You should spend more time going out, running and jumping around and training hard just like other people¡¯s cats.¡±

    As he said that, Zhao Yao nced at Cheese.

    ...

    A few hours earlier...

    Cheese jumped onto Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulder and said anxiously, ¡°Zhao Yao, Rice Cake has been spending more and more time ying games recently, often staying up all night just to y games and sleeping only at 4am or 5am in the morning. She¡¯s going to drop dead at this rate.

    Furthermore she¡¯s a Scottish Fold. Her body just recovered and she¡¯s abusing it so much now. What if her illness acts up again? And she has no social life or survival skills! She can¡¯t go on like this!¡±

    Zhao Yao clicked on the mouse and stared at the screen in a deadpan manner as he nodded, ¡°Okay, then you should let her y less of those games.¡±

    Cheese replied awkwardly, ¡°She doesn¡¯t listen to me,¡± As he said that, he rubbed his paws together and continued speaking, slightly abashed, ¡°Zhao Yao, could you make her stop ying games so much?¡±

    ¡°Oh, okay.¡±

    Cheese sighed in relief as he thought, ¡°That¡¯s good, that way Rice Cake won¡¯t hate me for it. I wouldn¡¯t be the one who stopped her from ying so much.¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao grabbed Rice Cake by the neck and shook her as he said, ¡°All you do everyday is just y games. Take a break for today and get your ass to Cat Ind and y with the cat stick and toy mouse instead.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to! Only countryside cats y with such things,¡± Rice Cake said angrily. ¡°And everyone else is ying phone games, why are you just picking on me?¡±

    As she said that, Rice Cake pointed to Gaia and said, ¡°Look, Gaia has been ying for so long already, why don¡¯t you stop her.¡±

    Not far away, the Garfield cat was slumped in front of theputer, staring tiredly at theputer screen withyers of dust on her body.

    A ck board rested against her back and said, ¡°Gaia still has a few days before she drops dead, below are the various guesses and their names.¡±

    Cannon who was passing by casually wrote his name on which read, ¡°I bet 5 days!¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed audibly and covered his face, ¡°I have indeed been toox with you guys recently.¡±

    Mission: Curb the Inte Addiction

    Mission Objective: Limit Rice Cake and Gaia¡¯s daily inte surfing time to six hours and less for more than one week.

    Reward: 200 experience points

    Punishment: None

    Zhao Yao stared at Gaia again. He never thought that game boosting would be so enjoyable for her. He could no longer stand by and watch her go on like that.

    The next moment he snapped his fingers and cast a wave of illusion. Gaia¡¯s vision turned ck and before she knew it he was already slumped on the floor and began snoring softly as she fell into deep sleep.

    Gaia was seriously too tired. Although it was the power of illusion that incited her sleepiness, she fell into deep sleep in no time. She might not be able to wake up even if the illusion was removed.

    ¡°I¡¯ll let Gaia have a good sleep for now. As for you...¡± Zhao Yao walked to the dimension portal leading to the Cat Ind with Rice Cake in his hand and threw her over, ¡°Go out and have fun ying outside the whole day. I don¡¯t care if you go and sniff the grass, find a male cat, catch mice or whatever you want to do, you are just not allowed toe back and use theputer again.¡±

    Rice Cakended on the ground and immediately charged towards the dimension portal but mmed right against it. Her face was stuck to the door of the dimension portal as if it was stuck on a ss door as she screamed at Zhao Yao, ¡°Zhao Yao! You can stop me today but you can¡¯t stop me forever! I will be back for sure!¡±

    Seeing as Zhao Yao just turned to leave and ignored her words, Rice Cake¡¯s eyes rounded in anger, ¡°Despicable meow! I¡¯m so angry!!¡±

    Zhao Yao returned and sat down in front of theputer. The moment he came back Cheese asked worriedly, ¡°How is Rice Cake? Was she very angry?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, she¡¯s fine. She¡¯s still a kid, her anger will go away after a while,¡± Zhao Yao continued ying his game as he said that.

    Cheese asked again worriedly, ¡°What if she gets too agitated and unleashes her ability to generate earthquakes?¡±

    Rice Cake had the power of vibration and had once activated her powers to generate an earthquake after she experienced pain.

    Zhao Yao waved him off, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, she¡¯s a big girl now. She knows her limits.¡±

    The next moment, one of Cat Sage¡¯s dragon heads popped out from the dimension portal and shrieked, ¡°Which d*mned cat went and taught her a lesson?! The whole Cat Ind is about to sink! Are there nows here?¡±

    Three minutester, Rice Cake red with eyes full of hatred as she mmed both paws on the metal cage bars and screamed, ¡°Zhao Yao, you won¡¯t be able to lock me up like this!¡±

    Zhao Yao turned and stared at Rice Cake who was in the cat cage and shook his head, ¡°Rice Cake, from today onwards, you can only y on theputer for 5 hours. You must use your extra time to participate in activities and y with other cats.¡±

    Rice Cake shouted back at him, ¡°But everyone else is ying games too! If I don¡¯t y games, how can I y with them?¡±

    Zhao Yao replied calmly, ¡°You¡¯re still too young. You don¡¯t enough self-discipline to control yourself. It¡¯s not good for your body if you y games for so long everyday, especially when you¡¯re a Scottish Fold. What if your old illness acts up again if you don¡¯t take good care of your body now?¡±

    ¡°Sister Elizabeth knows Sound Field Therapy. There are also many different kinds of nutritional cat meals for me to eat everyday. I won¡¯t fall sick with all this around,¡± Rice Cake replied. ¡°Furthermore, everyone else is ying games, even you, Zhao Yao! What right do you have to stop me from ying as well?¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed in exasperation. He looked up and scanned the surroundings quickly. Most of the cats were either watching videos, ying games, using theputer, or on their phones.

    Even when he looked at the training area, Sphynx cat had turned his training from physical to mental. His body shook just by doing squats and it was considered a form of training, which he could do while watching videos at the same time.

    Everyone could y except for Rice Cake, which did seem a bit unfair.

    Just as Zhao Yao thought so, his eyes lit up as he suddenly spotted a lone cat that was not ying games out of every other cat around.

    He saw Milk Tea ying around excitedly with a toy mouse on the floor.

    ¡°Eh? Milk Tea just came here and he hasn¡¯t been corrupted by all these fat cats yet? Might as well let hime and keep Rice Cakepany.¡± Hence Zhao Yao waved his hand at Milk Tea and called out, ¡°Milk Tea,e here for a while.¡±

    Milk Tea held the toy mouse in his mouth as he ran to Zhao Yao and said nkly, ¡°Give me money?¡±

    ¡°Hahahaha, this kid.¡± Zhao Yao took out a 100 dor note and gave it to him as he smiled and said, ¡°You are so like your father when he was young. Where¡¯s Matcha? Why is he not with you?¡±

    Milk Tea thought for a moment before he slowly replied, ¡°Brother Matcha said he went to shift bricks so he asked me to y by myself here.¡±

    ¡°Oh, it must be the renovation for the 18th floor.¡± Zhao Yao nodded, ¡°Milk Tea, I¡¯ll introduce a young older sister[1] to you.¡± As he said that, Zhao Yao took Milk Tea and put him in the cat cage.

    Milk Tea thought to himself, ¡°What¡¯s a young older sister?¡±

    Zhao Yao said to Rice Cake, ¡°Rice Cake, this is Milk Tea. Say hi.¡±

    Rice Cake stared at Milk Tea in annoyance and huffed before she turned away from both Zhao Yao and Milk Tea.

    Zhao Yao patted Milk Tea on the head and said, ¡°Milk Tea, have fun chatting with Rice Cake.¡± After saying that, he returned to theputer table and continued ying his game.

    After five minutes, Rice Cake finally could not stand it anymore and turned abruptly, ¡°Hey kiddo, do you really have nothing to say...¡± However when she turned around, Milk Tea had already fallen asleep on the spot.

    ¡°The heck! Aren¡¯t you here to keep mepany? Why are you sleeping!¡± Rice Cake shook so hard in anger that the whole cat cage started vibrating. ¡°Wake up right now!¡±

    On the other hand, after ying games for a while, Zhao Yao thought of Rice Cake who was currently being treated of her gaming addiction and decided that he should stop ying games that much as well.

    ¡°I should just increase the production rate of catmint. We will eventually have to supply the whole catmint market of Jianghai anyway.¡± Hence, Zhao Yao found Dust Ball and Red Packet and talked to them about the catmint prohibition issue.

    Once they heard that the whole of Jianghai was to issue a catmint prohibition that only permitted the sale of catmint through Zhao Yao, both Dust Ball and Red Packet were stunned.

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°But for us to supply the whole catmint market in Jianghai, you guys will have to increase the production of catmint.¡± He turned towards the catmint field and said, ¡°With the Light of Creation in the extradimensional belly, we should be able to harvest catmint every week. Now we just have to expand and n for an area on which to grow the catmint. We can¡¯t just grow it haphazardly.¡±

    Next, Zhao Yao instructed Dust Ball, Red Packet, and the other cats to maximize the usage of the catmint fields, which had an area of 400 square meters. Catmint was different from cat food. It was not an essential item to begin with hence the amount of space provided and the stock produced would have been enough to supply the whole catmint market in Jianghai.

    The next day, Uncle Ho sent a message saying that the catmint prohibition would be implemented in Jianghai starting from next week onwards. Zhao Yao nodded knowing that this happened because they became more concerned about him after the tests.

    Zhao Yao left the specifics of operating the catmint prohibition to Bai Quan as he could not be bothered with the details.

    Hence, after dealing with the house renovation, expansion of the cat caf¨¦, supplying the catmint market, Elizabeth¡¯s broadcasting issue and all the other issues, Zhao Yao could finally stay at home and y games in peace and only went out at night everyday to find new missions to do to earn more experience points.

    He yed like that leisurely until the next week as Elizabeth¡¯s broadcasting mission, Matcha¡¯s cat caretaking mission and Rice Cake¡¯s gaming addiction mission werepleted one by one. Coupled with the experience points earned frompleting missions that helped other people every night, Zhao Yao finally managed to earn enough experience points to upgrade Elizabeth¡¯s level.

    Zhao Yao stared at the panel:

    Book: Level 6 (66 342/20 000)

    Matcha Level 8 (5210/50 000)

    Elizabeth Level 8 (4300/50 000)

    Dust Ball Level 8 (27 055/50 000)

    Ares Level 7 (5200/20 000)

    Lucifer Level 6 (9100/10 000)

    Sphynx cat Level 6 (6500/10 000)

    Zhao Yao proceeded to transfer 45 700 experience points to Elizabeth, upgrading her to Level 9 (0/100 000).

    ¡°Level 9 atst.¡± Zhao Yao opened Elizabeth¡¯s Level 9 ability tree happily as he thought of the extra skill point he had earned from the meteorite fragments missionst time.

 Chapter 711: A New Ability

    <h4>Chapter 711: A New Ability</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    Zhao Yao opened Elizabeth¡¯s ability tree and two new Level 9 abilities appeared in front of him.

    Seventh Sense illusion: Cast time illusion on the target.

    Sixth Sense Transfer: Transfer one target¡¯s Sixth Sense illusion onto another target.

    Seeing the two skills, Zhao Yao eyes lit up instantly. Elizabeth¡¯s upgrade was just as he had pictured it to be. There was a Seventh Sense illusion beyond the Sixth Sense, which could control the illusion of time.

    The destructive power of controlling time need not be exined in detail. It could just make a person feel as though a secondsted a month or the other way round, a month as quick as a second. Together with the first six senses, it could be life-changing or even manipte memories.

    The Sixth Sense Transfer was obviously an upgraded version of the Sixth Sense illusion. Zhao Yao was still unable to precisely control the Sixth Sense illusion but if he used the Sixth Sense Transfer, he would be able to draw the Sixth Sense illusion from another body and cast it on God of Death.

    ¡°Not bad, not bad, both of these abilities are very powerful,¡± Zhao Yao nodded in satisfaction as he added both skill points to them.

    If not for the extra skill points he earned from the meteorite fragments mission, he would still have to hesitate and choose only one of two abilities. However, there was no need for that then as he could just add both abilities.

    After adding the two abilities, the first thing he had to do was try them out. Zhao Yao thought for a while and first casted the Seventh Sense illusion on himself. Invisible waves of illusion floated into his brain. At that moment, he suddenly felt like he could control time.

    ¡°Slow down... slow down a little...¡±

    As he thought of that, the whole world seemed to have slowed down. He observed his surroundings curiously as the supercats in the Extradimensional Belly moved around in slow-motion.

    ¡°So this is a time illusion? It shouldn¡¯t just be the Seventh Sense that changed, the first six senses should have been affected as well.¡±

    Zhao Yao patiently observed the world around him, which had slowed down by more than 10 times. After waiting for five minutes, he removed the illusion and stared at his phone to check the time. Only a little more than 30 seconds had passed.

    After that he tried to speed up time as well, and watched as the whole world quickened its pace. When he got over the amazement from the sight before him and stopped the Seventh Sense illusion, 10 minutes had passed.

    ¡°It feels really... surreal.¡±

    Zhao Yao felt that there was great potential to be discovered in the Seventh Sense illusion but now was not the time for experimenting with it.

    ¡°Sixth Sense Transfer can transfer one target¡¯s Sixth Sense illusion onto another target.¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin and suddenly remembered. ¡°The Sixth Sense is our feelings, our intuition, a mix all kinds of feelings. Is the effect of that ability is to draw out all those feelings or is it like my Infinite Flow of Idleness, which only picks the strongest feeling out of all of them?¡±

    Zhao Yao decided to try it out. He spotted Matcha, who had juste back from shifting bricks, ¡°Hmm, I¡¯m more familiar with Matcha¡¯s personality, I shall use him as the target then. But whose Sixth Sense should I draw out to transfer onto Matcha?¡±

    Zhao Yao surveyed the whole Extradimensional Belly. ¡°I must find one that has a more unique personality so that it¡¯s easier topare the effects.¡±

    After much searching, Zhao Yao¡¯s gaze suddenly paused as he spotted Mango, who was sound asleep in his cat bed, ¡°It shall be you, Mango.¡±

    Zhao Yao concentrated slightly. He immediately felt something being drawn out of Mango¡¯s brain, which circled around him and moved ording to how he wished for it to move.

    As a thought came to Zhao Yao¡¯s mind, this invisible and shapeless thing gushed towards Matcha and entered his body.

    Matcha¡¯s body suddenly trembled, which weirded him out, ¡°Why did I get goosebumps all over my body all of a sudden? Did I not sleep wellst night?¡±

    ¡°Brother Matcha!¡± Milk Tea held the toy mouse in his mouth as he ran over and turned in circles around Matcha excitedly, ¡°You¡¯re done shifting bricks?¡±

    Not far behind Milk Tea, Rice Cake, who was still locked in the cage, screamed, ¡°You fool, where are you going! I¡¯m not done talking!¡±

    ¡°Quicke back and continue listening to me!¡±

    Sadly, Milk Tea totally ignored Rice Cake and continued to circle around Matcha happily.

    Matcha quickly forgot about the goosebumps he had as well and nodded at Milk Tea, ¡°Yeah, let¡¯s go Milk Tea, we¡¯ll go and have our meal.¡± As he said that, he brought Milk Tea to the eating area.

    Milk Tea trailed behind and asked curiously, ¡°Brother Matcha, how do you shift bricks? Can you bring me along next time?¡±

    Matcha¡¯s gaze froze for a moment before he shook his head and replied, ¡°Shifting bricks is not an easy task, only the strongest and scariest supercats here can go and do it. You¡¯re not strong enough for that.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m very powerful!¡± Milk Tea said and threw away his toy mouse before pouncing on it menacingly and biting it, ¡°I am training myself everyday.¡±

    Matcha pursed his lips in exasperation and replied, ¡°How many times have I told you, we supercats rely on our brains to reign at the top of the food chain. Stop practising all these primitive skills. You should train your brain more instead or try to think of ways to experiment with your superpower to see what it really is.¡±

    Hearing Matcha¡¯s reply, Milk Tea said dejectedly, ¡°Oh, but I don¡¯t know what my superpower is too.¡±

    Matcha looked at the toy mouse in his mouth condescendingly as he said, ¡°Then start by throwing away this dirty mouse. Train less, think more. That¡¯s the way to be a king.¡±

    Milk Tea hesitated and replied somewhat reluctantly, ¡°Can I throw it away after a few days? I want him to keep mepany for a while more.¡±

    ¡°Kay, whatever.¡±

    At the side, Zhao Yao was observing Matcha¡¯s response intently. After a long while, he shook his head, ¡°Why is there no reaction at all?¡± He frowned and stared at Mango, thinking to himself, ¡°Is it because Mango¡¯s mind is kept in a constant state of nkness, so there¡¯s nothing to be drawn out?¡±

    Zhao Yao decided to try again and stared at Elizabeth, squinting his eyes a little. He felt that he had drawn out something that was invisible and shapeless again and immediately transferred it onto Matcha¡¯s body.

    Matcha¡¯s body trembled again and his eyes bulged as he stared at Elizabeth.

    Milk Tea sensed that something was wrong with Matcha and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Brother Matcha?¡±

    Matcha snarled and charged towards Elizabeth and activated time freeze as he ran. In the world of time freeze, Matcha leapt and pounced towards Elizabeth.

    However, before hended on Elizabeth, a huge hand had already caught him in midair.

    Matcha struggled aggressively and screamed, ¡°Quick let me go! I want to be one with Elizabeth!¡±

    Zhao Yao shook Matcha and stopped the time freeze. Looking at Matcha who continued to struggle in his hand and wanting to charge towards Elizabeth, he nodded thoughtfully, ¡°Elizabeth¡¯s Sixth Sense can be considered to be drawn out sessfully right? So by transferring Elizabeth¡¯s narcissism onto Matcha, it transforms into a crazed affection for Elizabeth?¡±

    Holding on tightly to Matcha and confirming that he would not be able to escape even after activating time freeze, Zhao Yao switched to the power of illusion again, ¡°Let¡¯s try another one.¡±

    Zhao Yao scanned the surroundings and spotted Sphynx cat right away.

    Zhao Yao cast his powers on Sphynx cat, drawing out... transferring in...

    Sphynx cat frowned slightly. ¡°Why do I feel a little strange?¡±

    On the other hand, Matcha¡¯s body trembled again as light shed in his eyes. It was as if a universe was born, as if all the light from a gctic explosion burst in his eyes before it all subsided and turned into philosophical light.

    At that moment, Matcha was calm,posed, and seasoned, just like a clear starry sky that had no colour to it.

    Zhao Yao was stunned by the change in Matcha and picked him up as he asked, ¡°Matcha, how are you feeling right now?¡±

    ¡°I feel great.¡± Matcha stared at the Extradimensional Belly and slowly said, ¡°I had never seen the world so clearly before. The connection between cats at this moment is so simple and apparent, does the difference between a male and female cat still matter?¡±

    As he said that, Matcha jumped out of Zhao Yao¡¯s hand and sighed, ¡°In the past, I was caught up by worldly opinion and neglected the beauty around me, missing out on all the fun in life.¡±

    The next moment, his body shed before hended on Ares, ¡°From now on, I want to make full use of my time and make up for past regrets. I want to connect with all the cats here!¡±

    ¡°So your regret is not being able to mate with a male cat!¡± Zhao Yao rolled his eyes in disbelief and removed the illusion immediately.

    Ares shrieked in fright as he turned and stared at Matcha lying on top of him. He fumed in his heart, ¡°D*mn it, you really think my Deflective Field is useless? Even you have the guts toe and bully me now?¡±

    Upon hearing Ares¡¯ scream, Sphynx cat immediately turned over to look. His face changed when he saw the scene before him.

    Sphynx cat¡¯s body appeared beside Matcha and Ares in a sh. There was aplicated look in his eyes as he saw the two male cats lying on each other.

    ¡°Ares, you are so cruel, how is Matcha better than me?¡± He then red at Matcha and scolded him, ¡°No wonder you look so feminine so you like male cats as well.¡±

    Ares stared at him nkly, utterly confused. He did not know what was going on as well when Matcha hadnded on top of him.

    On the other hand, Matcha jumped off immediately as his heart started racing, ¡°I actually thought Ares looked really cute just now?¡± He turned and stared at Ares but he just felt like puking now.

    At the thought of that, Matcha turned and walked off immediately, ¡°No, I must go to the Cat Street and correct my tonights. This is obviously a sign that I am deprived of female cats. I need to fix this deprivation.¡±

    Ares regained hisposure and his eyes shed as he stopped Matcha and told Sphynx cat, ¡°Sphynx cat, don¡¯t scold Matcha. It¡¯s my fault. It¡¯s all my fault. Matcha is innocent.¡±

    Matcha was speechless, ¡°I...¡±

    Sphynx cat retorted, ¡°If Matcha is innocent, have you ever considered my feelings? Both of youmitted such a shameful act in front of so many other cats.¡±

    Matcha tried to interject, ¡°Actually...¡± But before he knew it, his head had already been wrapped up by the Deflective Field, trapping all his words in his mouth.

    Ares immediately shouted back, ¡°I can¡¯t help it. Matcha is too good. His cat tongue turns 720 degrees. His toned waist and his thrusts are multiplied a hundred times under time freeze. If it was you, you would give me up for him as well...¡±

    Matcha said a whole lot of things in the Deflective Field when he saw Sphynx cat¡¯s sudden shocked expression. He cocked his head and asked, ¡°Hey, what are you guys talking about?¡±

    Ares continued, ¡°That¡¯s it, Sphynx cat. I hope you will find your happiness in future. Matcha, let¡¯s go.¡± As he said that, Ares had already used his Deflective Field to drag Matcha away with him.

    Sphynx cat was left staring dumbstruck at Ares then at Matcha. His widened in shock, ¡°Thrusting a hundred times more with time freeze... Is Matcha really that good?¡±

    Ares dragged Matcha to a cat bed and sealed the whole cat bed with his Deflective Field before he sighed in relief. Though he spoke with great conviction earlier on, he was actually breaking down on the inside.

    Matcha raged, ¡°What are you doing, Ares, let me go!¡±

    Ares nodded and said, ¡°Okay, okay, I¡¯ll let you go.¡± As he stared at Matcha leaving, Ares said, ¡°Thanks man.¡±

    Matcha turned and stared at Ares in confusion, ¡°Crazy cat.¡±

    On the other hand, Zhao Yao was very pleased with the effects of the new illusion and thought to himself, ¡°In this case I just need to find the Sixth Sense of a person or cat to draw out and transfer onto God of Death.¡±

    ¡°Hmm, let me think, who would be the best choice to make God of Death give up on all his puppets and lead a good life?¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin thoughtfully.

    Person after person and cat after cat shed across his mind before his eyes suddenly lit up as he said, ¡°Oh right, he should be able to do it.¡±

    ...

    In the prison of the Cat King of the West, Zhao Yao carried Roly Poly with him and ventured deep into the prison with ease as they looked for the Cat King of the West.

    ¡°The reason why the Cat King of the West¡¯s power could be used to change the criminals in this prison is because of his kind hearted nature. He doesn¡¯t fight with others and is the perfect buddhist cat. That¡¯s why he can turn the Butcher, Champion, Nessie, Onitsuka and many other criminals into good people.¡±

    As Zhao Yao walked, he thought, ¡°In this case, if I transfer the Sixth Sense of the Cat King of the West to the God of Death, it should make him give up on the fight and be a good person.¡±

    Roly Poly, who was carried along in a cage by Zhao Yao cried pitifully, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao! The people in the cat prison are all beasts. They just humiliate me, torture me, and punish me everyday. They just want me to die.¡±

    Hearing Roly Poly¡¯s words, Zhao Yao suddenly remembered the evidence that Old Cat got from questioning Roly Poly, ¡°I think he sent it to me.¡±

    Zhao Yao opened his WeChat to check. He downloaded the stuff immediately and opened it, revealing all kinds of scandalous photos.

    Next, he looked at Roly Poly¡¯s testimony and the evidence online. Upon verifying both, Zhao Yao raged, ¡°It¡¯s fine if you took the photos but why did you actually sell them online? I let you be her assistant forworking on WeChat! Was that not enough money for you?¡±

    He ced the phone in front of Roly Poly which shut him up immediately. His eyes darted to the side as he said weakly, ¡°I didn¡¯t take those photos on purpose. I was blinded by greed. I am just a ve to money...¡±

    Roly Poly felt guilty. ¡°The experience from the past few weeks was like a horrible nightmare. I felt as if I was possessed by an evil spirit. I am willing to surrender all my evil to you, Zhao Yao...¡±

    As both of them walked along, they finally reached the door to Cat King of the West¡¯s room. Zhao Yao tried to open the door but realized that it was actually locked. He activated the Deflective Field on a small scale to unlock the door.

    Zhao Yao entered the room and saw a huge screen that was ying a video of Elizabeth doing the seaweed dance. The surrounding walls were all filled with posters of Elizabeth.

    Hearing the front door open, the Cat King of the West jumped up in shock. He had a tissue in his mouth as he covered his crotch with one paw as he was flustered by the sudden appearance of Zhao Yao and Roly Poly. He eximed in shock and rage, ¡°Who let you in?! Don¡¯t you know how to knock.¡±

    Zhao Yao was stunned for a moment before he backed out and said, ¡°Nothing, we will wait till you are done ande inter. One minute should be enough for you.¡± He mmed the door close right after saying that.

    The Cat King of the West stared at the scene before him in annoyance and rage. At that moment he actually hesitated whether to open the door right away or wait for an hour before opening the door.

    However, his rationality immediately red. He rushed out immediately and pointed usingly at Zhao Yao. ¡°Why did youe! Who let you in! This is trespassing private property. I am going to call the police!¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes at the Cat King of the West and sighed. ¡°How did such a good buddhist cate to such a state?¡±

    He thought, ¡°If I extract his enlightened awareness and transfer to the King of Death, would the King of Death bring his whole army here in Jianghai to kidnap Elizabeth?¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and contemted, ¡°I have to return him to the original buddhist cat. If it fails, I will have to use another cat to deal with the King of Death.¡±

    Seeing the annoying Cat King of the West talking non-stop, Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Hey, do you like Elizabeth a lot?¡±

    The Cat King of the West abruptly became excited. The person before him was Elizabeth¡¯s owner.

    The Cat King of the West widened his eyes as he said, ¡°If you send Elizabeth over to have dinner with me tonight, I will forgive you.¡±

    ¡°Heh heh.¡± Zhao Yao grinned wryly and took out a photograph taken secretly by Roly Poly and said, ¡°Have you seen how Elizabeth sleeps?¡±

    The Cat King of the West was surprised. ¡°Ah?¡±

    Zhao Yao aimed the photograph at the Cat King of the West and he was so frightened that he took a step back and gazed in astonishment at the photograph of Elizabeth. It was a candid photograph taken discreetly by Roly Poly, who hid it very carefully so that he could ckmail Elizabeth.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Have you seen Elizabeth excrete before?¡±

    ¡°How can this happen? How can Lizzie excrete?¡± The Cat King of the West had just finished speaking and was so shocked by Zhao Yao¡¯s photograph that his fur stood on ends.

    ¡°Ah! No! Take these photographs away!¡±

    ¡°Wah, take a look at this photograph. Do you know that the fur of a Ragdoll cat is extremely long. After excretion, the buttocks will be stained with feces and are hard to lick clean.¡±

    ¡°Ah!¡± The Cat King of the West covered his eyes and eximed, ¡°I am blind! I can¡¯t see anything!¡±

    Zhao Yao activated his superpower and controlled the Cat King of the West such that he had to open his eyes and witness several photographs. ¡°This photograph is when she is farting. This photograph is when she stepped on feces in the bathroom. Oh? This photograph is when her fur was cut off. After removing all her fur, a female cat isn¡¯t that good looking after all.¡±

    A few minutester, the Cat King of the West was on the point of breaking down. He looked at Zhao Yao and felt his perfect image of Elizabeth disintegrating.

    Zhao Yao nodded in satisfaction as he said, ¡°We are almost done.¡±

    Zhao Yao tried extracting the enlightened awareness of the Cat King of the West and transferred to a few criminals. They became good people immediately.

    After testing a few times and confirming that there were no problems, Zhao Yao went to look for ck Panther.

    ...

    The King of Death gathered his senior generals for a meeting. Numerous reports were ced in front of him so that he would know the development of his several legions.

    ¡°The expansion of Doll¡¯s Iron Army is the fastest but the resource requirements areparatively higher. We need to increase our resource investment.¡±

    ¡°Satan¡¯s Dark Scorch legion is rapidly increasing in manpower. The requirement is the easiest of all as only apostles are required. The source of power for Dark Scorch is lifespan. To restrain the apostles from using their superpowers indiscriminately is tricky. The greater the number, the harder they are to manage.¡±

    ¡°The Virtual-Spirit legion is quite a big headache. They are able to pass through all objects and they are hard to restrain. We are relying on limited superpowers and their close kin to restrain them, however, this is proving to be more difficult. The puppets are also running out.¡±

    ¡°And the pressure of managing Adam¡¯s Ark legion is getting greater.¡±

    The King of Death nodded his head. He was looking tired as he said, ¡°We are reaching the upper limit, if this continues, we will lose control. It is time to attack Zhao Yao.¡±

    ...

    In Jianghai, Zhao Yao asked ck Panther, ¡°The old man in front of us is one of the puppets of the King of Death?¡±

    ck Panther nodded and pleaded, ¡°Mentor, could you not sit on my back?¡±

    ¡°Why? You are able to teleport better and I do not have blind spots during battles. Weplement each other.¡± Zhao Yao patted ck Panther¡¯s head and said, ¡°Enough talking, I am activating my superpower.¡±

    More than 100 thousand people around the world shivered for a while.

    ...

    At the discussion table, the King of Death abruptly became alert and said, ¡°I think our corporation is having issues.¡±

    The assistant asked, ¡°Boss, who do you mean?¡±

    ¡°We are such a huge corporation. We should take up more social responsibilities. I have decided to donate 100 billion dors to legitimate charity organizations and countries, including the funds that were acquired from tax stealing and evasion.¡±

    Everyone was astonished. ¡°Ah?!¡±

    ¡°The soil erosion in our country is reaching critical state. I have decided to send the Iron Army to nt trees.¡±

    ¡°The Dark Scorch legion will enter the mountainous regions to build Hope Elementary School. Even if the regions are poor, we cannot afford to skimp on education.¡±

    ¡°The Virtual-Spirit legion will help in capturing criminals...¡±

    After listening to the orders of the King of Death, all the cadres of Ivory were befuddled.

    The assistant could not resist asking, ¡°Boss, are you joking?¡±

    The King of Death smiled and replied, ¡°Of course it is a joke.¡±

    When everyone was heaving in relief, he said, ¡°After pondering, I have decided to disband Ivory after donating all my money. Our country does not allow our organization to exist. After the disbanding, look for a good job and live an earnest life. Do not be involved in violent crimes and murder, otherwise death will find you one of these days.

    I will retrieve all my puppets and retire.¡±

    All the leaders looked at the King of Death in shock. ¡°Ah?¡±

    The leader of Dark Scorch legion said in anger, ¡°Boss, do not crack jokes at this critical time!¡±

    The leader of the Virtual-Spirit legion frowned and said, ¡°Boss, what you just said, is it real?¡±

    The leader of the Ark legion shook his head and said, ¡°Boss, many people are depending on us for a living, we cannot retire just like that!¡±

    Numerous powerful apostles stood up and red at the King of Death and the atmosphere reeked of a strange enmity.

    All the capable generals were full of ambition after obtaining powerful abilities. They were thinking of great achievements and obtaining lots of wealth and power. Hence, they were unwilling to give up what they had achieved.

    The King of Death looked at the agitated crowd and smiled as he waved his hand. ¡°Enough, enough, I am only joking, do not be uptight. Let¡¯s continue the discussion.¡±

    When the crowd was pacified, he thought, ¡± Ivory has developed into a cancer of society. If this continues, war and disaster will ensue. I have to think of proper ways to disband the organization safely. Before that, I cannot retrieve all my puppets.¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao was not aware that Ivory was badly shaken after his action.

    Zhao Yao ced a ring that had the seal of the power of illusion on the finger of an elderly man. Over the next seven days, the Sixth Sense power of illusion would be transferred to the elderly man.

    ¡°For the next seven days, the King of Death will be a good person. The best scenario is that he retrieves all the puppets willingly. The worst scenario is that he turns hundred thousands of people into good natured puppets.¡±

    Zhao Yao greeted the elderly man and said, ¡°Hey King of Death, are you here?¡±

    The casual expression of the old man became serious as he looked at Zhao Yao. The old man frowned and his eyes sparkled with realization. ¡°I am understanding things now. Did you do this to me?¡±

    ¡°Oh? Did you detect something was wrong?¡±

    The old man nodded, ¡°You... have changed my character? A very strange experience. I can feel that I am entirely different from my previous self. There is no difort and I feel at ease.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and asked, ¡°Are you able to retrieve all your puppets?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± The old man looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°You have to help me exterminate Ivory, then I can retrieve all my puppets without worry.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Zhao Yao was disappointed and asked, ¡°Why?¡±

    The King of Death exined in length and finally said, ¡°My previous self wanted to defeat you so I released many dangerous superpowers. The development of Ivory was solely geared towards defeating you. However, this force had grown sorge that I am unable to control it. If I disband Ivory straight away, there will be chaos and disastrous repercussions.¡±

    Zhao Yao turned his head and sighed. ¡°This is tricky.¡± He intended to finish off the King of Death and Ivory. He was worried and went home to improve his superpower discreetly. King of Death also developed his technology secretly and created superpower legions that were progressively harder to deal with.

    ¡°There were no choices left.¡± The King of Death sighed, ¡°My previous self wanted to defeat you badly because of your superpower threats. My legions may be dangerous but they are of no threat to me.¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned and asked, ¡°Are you able to gather them together?¡±

    ¡°What do you intend to do?¡± The King of Death said. ¡°Are you thinking of dealing with them all by yourself? Zhao Yao, do not underestimate me and Ivory. The superpowers that I have developed are beyond your wildest imagination. Even I am unable to directly control some of the superpowers.

    If they are gathered together, once chaos reigns, all the southern provinces will be overthrown and we go down as sinners in history.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°No problem, gather them together and I will deal with them.¡± He had gotten to know the dangerous superpowers from the King of Death and with good preparation, he should be able to ovee them.

    The King of Death was not convinced that Zhao Yao could control his legions. ¡°Are you serious? Are you gambling with the lives of countlessmoners? You do not understand the repercussions of a direct confrontation with these dangerous apostles.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Zhao Yao scratched his head in exasperation and said, ¡°I am powerful, have faith in me.¡±

    ¡°No, you are not aware that they are in the thousands. I cannot gamble with the lives ofmoners.¡±

    Zhao Yao discovered that the good version of the King of Death was hard to persuade and he could not possible divulge his true power hence he was in a dilemma.

    After pondering, Zhao Yao asked, ¡°How can I convince you to trust me?¡±

    Mission: Exterminate Ivory

    Mission Objective: Complete extermination of the Ivory organization and capture more than 90% of the apostles and supercats.

    Reward: Each defeated apostle is worth 10 experience points.

    Punishment: None

    Zhao was excited and he thought, ¡°What a good way to gain experience points.¡±

    The King of Death frowned and said, ¡°Are you certain you are able to deal with the superpowers that I have mentioned? If news of our n leaks, it will cause a riot among the apostles. I am unable to stop them and the ensuing chaos will be disastrous.¡±

    The King of Death looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°I can ede to your request if the government is involved. With their intervention, we will be assured of sess. Are you able to contact the higher ups in government?¡±

    King of Death finally said what he had buried deep in his heart. He wanted to utilize Zhao Yao¡¯s connection with the government to exterminate Ivory.

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes. He understood the concerns of the King of Death. Contacting Uncle Ho to activate the government agencies and the Army to execute a well informed and coordinated attack was the safest and viable option.

    Would he inform Uncle Ho? If Uncle Ho and the government subdued the apostles, wasn¡¯t he robbed of the experience points?

    How could he let that happen?

    Zhao Yao grinned at the King of Death and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I have informed the high level officials. Let me bring you to meet them.¡±

    The King of Death¡¯s puppet walked with Zhao Yao on the street unaware that his five senses were being controlled by Zhao Yao.

    They drove to a small alley, walked into a warehouse, entered a secret room, took the elevator and arrived at a high-tech underground base.

    Looking at the spacious base and silver high-tech instations, the King of Death was astonished and asked, ¡°You secretly constructed such a huge underground base in Jianghai? Why am I not aware of this?¡±

    ¡°The security level of the base is extremely high so I am not surprised you were in the dark. This is not underneath Jianghai either. We were transported by a Dimension Portal, so nobody knows the exact location.¡± Zhao Yao shrugged his shoulders and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. I will bring you to see the leader.¡±

    ¡°This... this is a spaceship?¡± The King of Death was shocked and asked, ¡°What kind of superpowers do you have?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to be concerned with this. Don¡¯t think that trouble in the southern provinces is significant. We had too many enemies so we are unable to spare resources, otherwise we would exterminate all of you in a blink of an eye.¡±

    ...

    In a Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet in the real world.

    Zhao Yao sat on a chair enjoying his original vor chicken while ck Panther and Roly Poly watched his drumstick in envy and licked their lips.

    The King of Death was sitting opposite them, still immersed in the illusion. He asked in astonishment, ¡°You have upgraded to advanced electromaic weaponry? How much does it cost?¡±

    Zhao Yao was chewing the drumstick as he said, ¡°Yes, you are not aware of that?¡±

    The King of Death eximed in amazement, ¡°You have Mecha too? Is that real?¡±

    ¡°Is this the same model as Ironman??¡±

    ¡°You have Gundam too? Ten billion per unit? Is that too extravagant?¡±

    After the exmations by the King of Death, the elementary school students, who were eating French fries by the side, turned their heads and looked at him with scorn.

    The King of Death said, ¡°My assets are worth more than 200 billion. If Ivory is exterminated, I will donate all my money to the country.¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed and patted the shoulders of the King of Death. ¡°Very good, I thank you on behalf of the country.¡±

    The condescending looks of the elementary school students became stronger. Who would discuss a few hundred billions deal in a Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet.

    Zhao Yao finished his original vored chicken and left with the King of Death, who grabbed Zhao Yao¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Leader, I have finally met you. I am counting on your help to deal with Ivory.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded as he brought him out and said, ¡°I understand, so don¡¯t worry. With Zhao Yao¡¯s help, the Ivory issue will be solved quickly.¡±

    The invisible Roly Poly licked his lips and extended his paws stealthily towards the remains of the drumstick.

    However, he was hauled up by Zhao Yao and brought out of the outlet.

    Roly Poly was very disappointed as he had almost gotten the drumstick.

    Zhao Yao maintained his power of illusion on the King of Death and ran to two other puppets with the help of Panther. Using invisibility to hide himself, he put a ring with the seal of illusion on each of them respectively.

    If the King of Death was disassociated from this puppet or the puppet had developed issues, he would still be subjected to the power of illusion.

    The King of Death, who was immersed in the illusion, had absolute trust in Zhao Yao.

    That night, he gave a confirmation to Zhao Yao. ¡°I will try my best to gather all of Ivory¡¯s apostles within a week. You will then intervene and capture them in one swoop.¡±

    Zhao Yao agreed and called Uncle Ho, informing him of possible maneuvers of Ivory¡¯s apostles and to monitor their movements.

    Zhao Yao did not fully trust the King of Death. He wanted more intelligence from Uncle Ho¡¯s official channel.

    ck Panther was helping Uncle Ho identify the puppets of the King of Death so that important government intelligence could not easily leak. Because of this, Zhao Yao was not concerned that he had tricked the King of Death.

    Zhao Yao was relieved after contacting Uncle Ho and returned home.

    Recalling the dangerous apostles under the King of Death, Zhao Yao felt he should make use of the avable time to gain more experience points.

    He studied the experience points panel.

    Matcha: Level 8 (5210/50000)

    Elizabeth: Level 9 (0/100000)

    Dust Ball: Level 8 (27055/50000)

    Ares: Level 7 (5200/20000)

    Lucifer: Level 6 (9100/10000)

    Sphynx Cat: Level 6 (6500/10000)

    The requirements of Matcha, Elizabeth and Dust Ball were too high so they were skipped. Ares, Lucifer and Sphynx cat had the best chances to upgrade to the next level.

    For the next few days, the legend of the Headless Horseman reemerged in Jianghai. Zhao Yao worked very hard for experience points day and night hoping that he could upgrade a few of his supercats before the King of Death gathered his apostles army.

    Meanwhile, the expansion of the cat caf¨¦ proceeded in good order. The shops in the shopping mall moved out allowing Bai Quan to convert the mall into a giant cat caf¨¦.

    Uncle Ho ordered the prohibition of non-Dust Ball catmint in Jianghai. All the shops selling catmint, regardless of whether it was for normal humans or supercats, were given warnings.

    ...

    ¡°What?¡± Fish Ball stood in front the bar counter in the catmint bar, his eyes looking at a British Shorthair. ¡°No catmint? If there is no catmint, why are you still opening a catmint bar?¡±

    The British Shorthair shrugged his shoulders and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear news of the catmint prohibition? Any shops selling non-Dust Ball catmint in Jianghai are deemed illegal. We are waiting to contact Dust Ball and order a new stock of Dust Ball Catmint before selling.¡±

    ¡°D*mn!¡± Fish Ball mmed on the table and his body trembled. ¡°Prohibition of catmint? Is there justice at all? Are these lousy officials intending to rob us?¡±

    Seeing Fish Ball¡¯s upset expression, the British Shorthair said, ¡°You can go directly to Dust Ball to get the catmint.¡± He passed a business card discreetly to Fish Ball and whispered, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you were on close terms with Dust Ball? If you manage to find her and help us obtain the stocks, we will provide free catmint to you for a lifetime.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡±

    ¡°Of course it is real.¡±

    Fish Ball left the catmint bar excitedly and bolted towards the cat caf¨¦.

    ¡°Humph, based on my capability, sleeping with Dust Ball is a piece of cake.¡± Fish Ball could not resist letting his imagination run wild. ¡°Helping you get Dust Ball Catmint? Do you think I am retarded? After the prohibition, Dust Ball is the only sole supplier of catmint. If I sleep with her, I will not be concerned with money anymore.¡±

    Fish Ball¡¯s imagination ran very wild and he could not resist fantasizing about his deepest desires.

    ...

    Fish Ball was lying on top of a sea of catmint and Dust Ball was at his side, carefully licking his leg fur.

    ¡°My lord Fish Ball, is thisfortable?¡±

    Fish Ball kicked Dust Ball aside and shouted with displeasure, ¡°Why are you using so much force? My fur¡¯s shedding due to your inappropriate licking. You are a good-for-nothing.¡±

    Dust Ball sprawled on the floor in terror and pleaded, ¡°I am very sorry, my lord Fish Ball.¡±

    Fish Ball brandished his cat ws and asked, ¡°Where is the ie forst month? Why hasn¡¯t it been transferred to my bank ount?¡±

    Dust Ball begged, ¡°My lord Fish Ball, I cannot afford to transfer any more money. What¡¯s left is my operating capital...¡±

    ¡°Do not be over-emotional! Who cares about this?¡± Fish Ball walked to her, took away her cell phone, and ordered ruthlessly, ¡°What is your secret code? Tell me now!¡±

    ...

    As Fish Ball was fantasizing, a water bullet smacked his face.

    The Cat Queen of the South, Li Li, who had control over water, came out from the corner of a wall, her lifeless eyes staring at Fish Ball. She said grimly, ¡°It has been a long time since we met, Fish Ball.¡±

    Fish Ball felt his knees getting weak as he grinned wryly. ¡°Hasn¡¯t it Li Li? It has been a long time. Your fur is looking very smooth. Where did you get it done?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t be pretentious. Aren¡¯t you hiding from me?¡± Li Li became unhappy. She opened her mouth and spat out a stream of water, that grabbed Fish Ball like a huge hand. ¡°Tell me! When are we getting married?¡±

    Fish Ball struggled for a while but in vain. He gave a forcedugh and said, ¡°Marriage is a serious affair. It can¡¯t be casually decided. Why don¡¯t we sit down and discuss things so that you can consider it carefully. You are such an outstanding female cat. I don¡¯t think I am a good match for you...¡±

    Li Li¡¯s eyes emitted sparks of anger as she said, ¡°Do you intend to leave after taking advantage of me?¡±

    ¡°How could I do such a thing?¡± Fish Ball gazed lovingly at Li Li and said, ¡°The times we were together were the most memorable, fantastical, and enjoyable moments of my life. I will never forget them for the rest of my life.¡±

    Li Li inhaled deeply to calm herself down and said peacefully, ¡°Why are you always hiding from me?¡±

    ¡°You are one of the cat queens who leads the Jianghai supercat realm. However, I am a small pitiful cat who cannot even afford a kitty tower. I want you to get married regally instead of being gossiped about.¡±

    Fish Ball said with affection, ¡°I hope that one day, I will be the world¡¯s hero and ride on arge dog, lead a cart full of catmint, buy a house full of kitty towers to marry you. So I work very hard on my own and improve myself to earn more money!¡±

    ¡°You!¡± Li Li¡¯s heart fluttered and the water droplets surrounding Fish Ball fell to the ground. She rushed forward and held his head, saying, ¡°Fish Ball, you are silly. I like you, I like your trashiness, incapability, and foolishness. You don¡¯t have to do all those things for me!¡±

    The green veins on his forehead pulsated momentarily, however, he stifled his anger and said, ¡°No, I want to give my best to you. Give me a year. I will be a notable cat in the Jianghai supercat realm and marry you grandly.¡±

    Li Li nodded and blushed as she whispered, ¡°Very good... Ball, I will wait for you.¡±

    Fish Ball heaved in relief. After Li Li waved goodbye, he left the Cat Street and bolted towards the cat caf¨¦.

    Fish Ball arrived ebulliently at the front of the cat caf¨¦. As he was about to enter, he was surprised to see that the facade was already full of cats.

    There were more than a hundred supercats blocking the way into the cat caf¨¦.

    The entire shopping mall was closed with the exception of the cat caf¨¦. Every shop entrance was covered with support frames and white cloth and the sound of drilling and hammering was heard asionally.

    Fish Ball was astonished to see more than a hundred supercats gathering in front of cat caf¨¦. He noticed that they were familiar faces belonging to bosses of Cat Street and small regional cat kings.

    Fish Ball walked beside a white cat and asked, ¡°Brother, what is happening? Why are there so many cats here?¡±

    The white cat nced at him and replied casually, ¡°Don¡¯t you know? Sister Dust Ball arranged for a meeting with the street bosses to discuss the selling of catmint in Jianghai.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Fish Ball was shocked because he didn¡¯t expect Dust Ball to arrange for such arge scale meeting. Wasn¡¯t she concerned she might be discovered?

    The police siren sounded and the supercats became nervous. Some cats roared loudly and some cats brandished their ws while the fur of some cats stood on ends as they gazed in the direction of the siren.

    These catmint sellers were Cat Street shopkeepers or small regional cat kings who were very good tax evaders and thus were extremely wary of the police.

    Seeing the arrival of the police car, a fuming cat shouted, ¡°D*mn, are you fooling us Dust Ball? Are you calling the cops to betray us?¡±

    ¡°She is double-crossing us! We are not afraid. Let¡¯s fight it out with her.¡±

    ¡°Let us unite. Even humans have to think thrice before acting against us. It is time to show them who are the masters of Jianghai!¡±

    ¡°Are you stupid? Everyone was stunned by this question for a while and then pretended not to hear as they fixed their gazes on the cops.

    While the supercats were fuming, Red Packet rushed out of the cat caf¨¦ and meowed, ¡°Greetings bosses and leaders, please hold your horses. These cops were called by Sister Dust Ball to maintain order here. Don¡¯t worry. It is alright.¡±

    The crowd was pacified by Red Packet, however, they still eyed the cops suspiciously.

    ¡°Calling the cops to maintain order?¡±

    ¡°Is Sister Dust Ball such a big shot now?¡±

    ¡°Humph, all of Jianghai is prohibited from selling catmint with the except of Dust Ball catmint. Perhaps she was adopted by the lousy government officials and is now being cuddled shamelessly.¡±

    While the crowd was gossiping, the cops lined the side and faced them. A cop nodded and announced, ¡°Greetings everyone, we are here to maintainw and order. Don¡¯t be bothered by us.¡±

    The supercats sized up the cop that made the announcement. They were piqued by the sudden rise in power and influence of Dust Ball.

    Red Packet ushered the cats to the basement parking lot, which was cordoned off for this event. When they reached the deepest end of the parking lot, they saw Dust Ball in a western suit and dark shades, standing on top of a box, surrounded by supercats from the catmint section.

    Red Packet ran up to her and said, ¡°Sister Dust Ball, all the cats are here.¡±

    Dust Ball nodded, observed the arriving cats and said, ¡°Greetings everyone, I¡¯m sorry that it was hard for you to havee from afar.¡±

    ¡°It is not hard for us, Sister Dust Ball,¡± An orange cat said with sarcasm. ¡°A cat suddenly gained favor and caused Jianghai to turn upside down. The rules for the past two years were overridden. How can we not turn up for this event, Sister Dust Ball?¡±

    Seeing other supercats cheering the orange cat, Red Packet sneered, ¡°Foul-mouthed orange cat, what do you mean?¡±

    ¡°Everyone understands what I meant.¡± The orange cat sniggered and said, ¡°The government is jealous of our catmint market and is depriving us of our profits. It is catmint prohibition today and perhaps cat food prohibition tomorrow.¡±

    Dust Ball waved her hand and stopped other supercats from answering him. She said grimly, ¡°Foul-mouthed orange cat, speak directly to me instead of resorting to sarcasm. Yes, I am the sole supplier of catmint in all of Jianghai, however, if you think that I am doing it for money, then you are very wrong.¡±

    Dust Ball stepped out and fell down from the box.

    ¡°D*mn, I can¡¯t see anything with these shades.¡±

    Dust Ball removed the dark shades and revealed her yellow pupils. ¡°All the respected cats here are my seniors so I am not in the position to speak as a leader.

    Just think for a moment. Before the catmint prohibition, who was supplying the most catmint in Jianghai? Was it me, Dust Ball? It is the humans who supplied the most catmint and earned the most money.

    With the catmint prohibition, we are now masters of our own fate. Do you wish to return to the old system? I can vouch to the Heavens that the monopoly I have is not for myself. It is for all the cats to have catmint and share its profit in the future.

    The alley cats do not have to beg for food on the streets and the brothers under the cat kings do not have to fight each other to death over a few dors.

    Seeing the dazed crowd, Dust Ball continued, ¡°From today onwards, the entire Jianghai will only consume my Dust Ball Catmint. The purchase cost will be two thirds of the original price. The cut in price is considered my gift to all my seniors.¡±

    Dust Ball signaled behind her back and said, ¡°Open the boxes... examine the goods!¡±

    More than a hundred boxes were opened and the contents emptied.

    The catmint were exposed to the crowd and the air was filled with a strong stimting fragrance.

    Looking at the huge amount of catmint, everyone was filled with greed.

    Dust Ball waved her hand and Red Packet, Cannon, and the rest of the catmint section bared their teeth and ws.

    Dust Ball said, ¡°If you agree to share the profits, you may take stocks and leave. Go back home happily and enjoy canned food with your siblings. If you do not agree, I will be here to thrash out the issues.¡±

    The cats turned silent as Dust Ball raised up her paw and asked, ¡°Who agrees? Who disagrees?¡±

    A ck cat raised up his paw and said, ¡°Sister Dust Ball, I, ckie, do not submit to anyone except you. Whoever hinders us from earning profits, we the ck Leopards will retaliate.¡±

    Another white cat stood up and said, ¡°We are all selling catmint for a livelihood. Now we are able to earn our living peacefully. Who needs violence? Doesn¡¯t everyone agree?¡±

    The cats meowed in unison. ¡°Yes, yes.¡±

    ¡°The younger generation is doing better than us seniors.¡±

    ¡°Sister Dust Ball, we shall follow your lead from now on.¡±

    Dust Ball gazed at the cats with satisfaction. She looked at the foul-mouthed orange cat and asked, ¡°What do you say now?¡±

    The orange cat shrugged his shoulders, tilted his head and said, ¡°Since everyone is agreeing, I have no objections, Sister Dust Ball.¡±

    Dust Ball heaved in relief at the mass participation. She whispered privately to Zhao Yao, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, what do I do next?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t be flustered, let me check.¡± Zhao Yao was watching the Young And Dangerous video on his cell phone when he said, ¡°Distribute the goods on a cash on delivery basis.¡±

    Seeing the cats queue up to obtain the goods, Zhao Yao nodded in satisfaction and thought, ¡°The supercats are pacified so the remaining normal shops have to conform to the catmint prohibition. This will require Uncle Ho¡¯s help to gradually implement.¡±

    Momentster, Zhao Yao received a message from the King of Death.

    ¡°Are the time and location confirmed?¡±

    Zhao Yao studied the message from the God of Death and thought, ¡°Four dayster?¡± He deleted the message silently.

    ¡°I have to work extra hard. Before attending the Ivory gathering, I have to upgrade Lucifer or Sphynx cat.¡±

    After Zhao Yao delegated his tasks to Dust Ball and Red Packet he returned to his chivalrous deeds.

    ¡°However...¡± Zhao Yao abruptly turned his head and swallowed himself into the Extradimensional Belly. ¡°Let Sphynx cat and Lucifer help me in the mission.¡±

    Zhao Yao found Sphynx cat and Lucifer and exined the situation to them. After that, he gave them the rights to ept missions and shared his experience of helping others.

    ¡°Continue to work hard and try to upgrade your level.¡± Zhao Yao turned his head to look at Lucifer and said, ¡°Lucifer, you are only a few hundred points from the next level. Work extra hard. If you can upgrade to the next level within four days, I will reward both of you with arge red packet.¡±

    After Zhao Yao left, Sphynx cat looked puzzled at Lucifer¡¯s exmation mark and recalled Zhao Yao¡¯s teachings. He asked, ¡°Do you need any help?¡±

    Lucifer gazed at Sphynx cat and said, ¡°Are you able to give it to me?¡± After a few days of cuddling by Zhao Yao, Lucifer had gained back to his original addiction¡ªthe pleasure of the toxic effects of regeneration.

    Lucifer exined to the befuddled Sphynx, ¡°Give me a punch with all your might. Better yet, p me so hard that my brain explodes.¡±

    Sphynx cat said, ¡°... I am not interested.¡± He turned to leave, however, Lucifer held onto his thigh and shouted, ¡°Do not go Sphynx cat! Of all the cats, I wish for you to give me a beating. The way you practiced on the sandbag is very suave...¡±

    Sphynx cat pped Lucifer so hard that he flew out. Sphynx cat shook his head and said, ¡°I have never encountered a cat that needed a good beating.¡± Sphynx cat obtained 10 experience points forpleting the mission by Lucifer.

    He decided to make his rounds in the Extradimensional Belly to see if other supercats required his help.

    As he passed by the prisoners¡¯ cage, he discovered two shing exmation marks from Rice Cake and Gaia who were serving their sentences.

    Although it was already past the seven days given forpleting the mission, Zhao Yao was concerned about the physical and mental well being of the two cats and had decided to reduce their time for ying onlineputer games.

    Rice Cake squeezed her head through the metal bars looking extremely bored. Gaia was lying on her back with her paws in the air looking like a carcass.

    Milk Tea knelt outside the cage, looking curiously at the two cats and asking, ¡°Why are you inside?¡±

    Rice Cake replied furiously, ¡°I have already exined that we didn¡¯t want to stay inside. Zhao Yao locked us up!¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Milk Tea nodded and continued probing, ¡°Is it fun inside?¡±

    ¡°I will be d*mned if it is fun!¡± Rice Cake hollered angrily, ¡°Why don¡¯t youe in and try?¡±

    Milk Tea shook his head. He stroked a small little rat by his feet as he said, ¡°I prefer to watch from outside as it is more fun than staying inside.¡±

    ¡°This kitten!!¡± Rice Cake¡¯s eyes shed with animosity. ¡°You little scumbag! You will be dead meat after I am released!¡± The body of Rice Cake shook rapidly. Even the cage emitted high frequency vibration sounds and her head became a series of blurred images.

    Without the help of the Spicy Cat Strips, Rice Cake¡¯s suffering was not severe enough to damage the cage via vibration.

    After stopping the vibration, Rice Cake panted heavily. Abruptly, she gathered her wits and thought, ¡°This little kitten may be silly but if I trick him into opening the cage won¡¯t that be wonderful? No, the cage is restrained by the Deflective Field. He will be unable to open it but he can bring theputer here!¡±

    Rice Cake softened her stance and asked Milk Tea gently, ¡°Milk Tea, are you able to help your sister for a bit?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Milk Tea shook his head and said, ¡°Master Zhao reminded us that the two cats in the cage are willing to do anything to get online so don¡¯t help them.¡±

    ¡°A**hole!!¡± Rice Cake gritted her teeth and was thinking about other solutions when Sphynx cat came to them and looked at her, asking, ¡°Do you need any help?¡±

    Sphynx cat broke open the cage and Rice Cake and Gaia rushed out. Gaia thanked Sphynx cat and bolted towards theputer. Rice Cake sneered as she walked to Milk Tea. ¡°Little kitten, remember what I said? When I am released, I will not let you go!¡±

    When Milk Tea gazed at the approaching Rice Cake, he remembered Matcha¡¯s teachings.

    ...

    ¡°Brother Matcha, how do I be the most powerful supercat?¡±

    ¡°Brother Matcha, please I beg you, teach me to be stronger.¡±

    Matcha looked seriously at Milk Tea and said, ¡°Well, Milk Tea, since you have pleaded with me and followed me for a while, it is time for me to teach you a secret self-preservation technique.¡±

    ...

    Milk Tea pointed to the back of Rice Cake and shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao is here!!¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Rice Cake was so frightened that her legs became weak and she fell to the ground, shouting, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! I didn¡¯t intend toe out. I am out to capture the escaping Gaia!¡± She turned her head to look and discovered that Zhao Yao was nowhere in sight.

    ¡°Am I being fooled?¡± Rice Cake turned her head and discovered that Milk Tea had fled far away with the rat in his mouth.

    ¡°Ah! You are dead! You are so dead! I am going to shave all your fur!¡± Rice Cake stood up and chased after Milk Tea. ¡°This is infuriating!¡±

    Rice Cake and Gaia discovered to their dismay that they were once again being locked in the cage by Sphynx cat. Rice Cake looked at him and asked in astonishment, ¡°What are you doing, Sphynx cat?¡±

    Sphynx cat replied, ¡°This is called repeating assistance as taught by Zhao Yao.¡±

    Zhao Yao came to a university town. The university was a better ce for cats to survive as there were more food, girls, and cat lovers who were willing to feed stray cats. As such, university cats had a better life than normal regional cats and their fur and size looked healthier too.

    After the appearance of supercats, the university town became a popr breeding ground for supercats.

    Zhao Yao came here to capture an apostle for his mission.

    In the canteen, more than ten male undergraduates were gulping down their meals.

    ¡°Song Tie, you are awesome. You scored seven goals within ten minutes. Without you, we would have lost.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Song Tie, are you going for professional team training?¡±

    ¡°With your talent, you will be a professional yer in no time. You may even lead the national ser team to the World Cup!¡±

    A tall and dark boy smiled and said humbly, ¡°How can I lead the national team to the World Cup? You think too highly of me.¡±

    As they were enjoying themselves, Zhao Yao walked over, gazed at Song Tie and said, ¡°Hey, did you steal a cat?¡±

    Song Tie was taken aback and smiled as he said, ¡°Maybe you¡¯ve confused me with another person? I don¡¯t keep any cats.¡±

    Zhao Yao grabbed Song Tie¡¯s clothes and said, ¡°Yes, it is you. Give up the cat or you will suffer.¡±

    His friends stood up and scolded Zhao Yao, ¡°What nonsense are you spouting?¡±

    ¡°Who stole a cat?¡±

    ¡°Go away and leave. I am warning you. Do not create trouble!¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned at the approaching group of burly guys and pointed his finger in the air. Invisible waves cascaded over them. ¡°Undergraduates Despair!¡±

    Zhao Yao was able to manipte the targets¡¯ fives sense and even their perception of time after various level upgrades. The truth of his illusions was hard to tell. In fact, his illusions had reached a stage of unfathomableplexity.

    The various undergraduates immediately fell into a deep despair.

    ¡°Failed modules... 15 failed modules! How can this happen? How can this happen? I only took 8 modules this semester... How did I fail 15 modules?¡±

    ¡°Dismissal after fighting in school! What? What should I do?¡±

    ¡°Ah! My girlfriend ditched me for a rich man¡¯s son!¡±

    Song Tie was concerned to see his ssmates on the floor. He asked, ¡°Who are you? What are you intending to do?¡±

    Zhao Yao folded his arms and said, ¡°I don¡¯t have time to idly chat with you. Give up the cat.¡±

    Song Tie sneered and said, ¡°I suppose you have a superpower too? If you call the cops, I won¡¯t dare to touch you. You are a fool to confront me.¡±

    Song Tie was relieved that his ssmates were on the ground wailing and not paying him any attention. He walked up and kicked Zhao Yao¡¯s chest ferociously.

    Song Tie was confident that his kick,bined with the strength of his superpower was enough to smash a wooden door. The man in front of him would not be able to withstand such a kick.

    However, he copsed to the ground before he had any time to react. It was toote as Zhao Yao was on his chest restraining his movements.

    The man took out a pile of feces and shoved them into his mouth.

    ¡°Ah!!¡± Song Tie cried out in fear. ¡°What are you doing? Stop immediately! Ooo, ooo, ooo...¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°What? You don¡¯t like it? Tell me where to find the cat!¡±

    Song Tie reeked strongly of the feces and he shouted angrily, ¡°I do not know what cat you are babbling about. Release me immediately!¡±

    Zhao Yao sneered and said, ¡°One mouthful of sugar followed by a mouthful of feces. I am sure you will enjoy them happily.¡± He shoved a handful of sugar and another handful of faces into his mouth.

    Song Tie was tortured until he yielded and he cried loudly, ¡°Stop! Stop shoving! I give up. I will tell you where the cat is!¡±

    Song Tie walked out of the canteen and brought Zhao Yao to the location where he had hidden the cat. The entire fight and interrogation onlysted one second and they had urred and ended in the illusions imnted in Song Tie¡¯s mind.

    After returning the cat to his rightful owner, Zhao Yao nodded his head with satisfaction. He received 200 experience points. ¡°Let me check... there are several ces with supernatural incidents.¡± He opened up his cell phone that indicated the locations of all the supernatural incidents that urred in thest three weeks.

    Zhao Yao was kept busy executing his mission and upgrading his supercats.

    ...

    In the distant state of Maine in the United States.

    In the undergroundboratory, the cobalt feline humanoid codenamed Project X was contemting his next move in Go chess. After a long time, he made his move.

    Opposite him, a mechanized arm gradually moved and ced a ck stone on the chess board.

    Outside theboratory, the Professor observed Project X and inquired, ¡°How¡¯s the situation?¡±

    ¡°Project X is ying chess against a professional yer. His progress is astonishing and he is about to win.¡± The researcher continued, ¡°ording to our analysis, his intelligence quotient is more than 300. We do not the exclude the possibility of him reserving his actual potential.¡±

    The Professor frowned and said, ¡°What about his vital statistics and health?¡±

    ¡°Stronger than a normal cat and within the normal range. No abnormal phenomena so far. We do not know anything about his superpower.¡±

    Project X abruptly lifted his head and gazed in the direction of the Professor. He was unable to see the Professor as the ss was one-sided. Nevertheless, he smiled as he said, ¡°This standard... is he a professional yer? You have invited a professional yer? Uh, maybe I¡¯m wrong... is it an online chess game?¡±

    The Professor took over the microphone and spoke into it. ¡°Project X, your learning speed is astonishing. Is that your ability?¡±

    Project X smiled and replied, ¡°What do you think? My intelligence is higher than normal, however, this has happened in humans too. You don¡¯t think that is my superpower, do you?¡±

    He stood up and walked to the single-sided ss. The Professor felt an eerie sensation that Project X was able to see him as though they were face-to-face.

    Project X said, ¡°After divulging my ability, will you release me?¡±

    The Professor asked, ¡°You want to go out?¡±

    Project X nodded and said, ¡°Of course, any intelligent life form does not want to lose his freedom. I feel the same way.¡±

    The Professor didn¡¯t give a confirmed answer and said, ¡°That depends on your ability.¡± He was certain that neither he nor the Army would release him.

    Everyone in the world knew that the Meteoritended in the state of Maine.

    Very few people knew that Project X was found inside the Meteorite during the excavation.

    Although Project X was not an extraterrestrial life form, the Americans, including the Professor were reserving their judgments on his origin.

    Project X smiled and said, ¡°My ability is very simple. I strengthen the superpower of supercats or apostles.¡±

    The Professor¡¯s gaze became focused and he shouted grimly to his side, ¡°Record it down.¡± Then he fixed his gaze at Project X and articted word by word, ¡°Tell us in detail.¡±

    Project X replied, ¡°Not many details as I can only strengthen others¡¯ superpower. If you need exact data, I need ess to yourboratory experiments.¡±

    The Professor frowned and replied, ¡°I do not have the authority to decide. I will report your situation to my superiors.¡± He shut off the microphone and turned his head to look at the researcher by his side and said, ¡°Find a cat with a harmless superpower... No, get an apostle to borrow a harmless superpower.¡±

    The Professor would like to verify if Project X was able to strengthen the superpowers of other apostles.

    Project X, who was imprisoned in a thick steelboratory said, ¡°Would you lend me a few books?¡±

    The Professor switched on the microphone and asked, ¡°Why do you want to read?¡±

    Project X exined, ¡°Look at this empty prison cell. Are you trying to bore me to death?¡±

    The Professor pondered for a while as he shut off the microphone. He looked at a researcher and said, ¡°Give him a few superman, batman, iron manics to read and observe his reactions.¡±

    Project X revealed a subtle smile and ced his stone on the chess board.

    ¡°I won.¡±

    As God of Death activated his powers, Ivory¡¯s apostles gathered under the God of Death¡¯s orders.

    The news of this traveled quickly. It was such arge scaled transfer that if even it wasn¡¯t Ivory, it could not be discrete.

    Or rather, most Ivory apostles didn¡¯t want to be discrete.

    They had strong powers that were unheard of and most of the apostles inevitably grew overconfident.

    It was as if an ordinary person who normally earned 3000 a month suddenly received one billion in assets. It was impossible for that person to not change in character or their ns.

    Ivory was like a huge powder keg. Numerous apostles had been given strong powers but they were not given sufficient status and wealth to match such powers. If God of Death was unable to bring them to fight, win victory, and gain sufficient wealth and status, it was only a matter of time before they went out of control.

    Smoke filled God of Death¡¯s conference room as the cadres gathered together to discuss their ns.

    A tall apostle who had a dark scorch tattoo all over his body asked God of Death, ¡°Boss, isn¡¯t it too early? Time is in our favor. The longer we drag this out, the stronger we can get.¡±

    God of Death looked at him and the apostle¡¯s story shed across his mind.

    The tall man was called ck Tiger. Before joining Ivory he had used his powers to be a gang leader.

    After God of Death released Satan¡¯s Dark Scorch powers ck Tiger joined the Dark Scorch army immediately. With his high adaptability with Dark Scorch, God of Death reckoned that he would have a longer life and gradually be a cadre.

    If God of Death asked Satan to remove the powers then he is just another ordinary human.

    However, the problem was that Satan was getting out of hand and did not obey the God of Deathpletely.

    After all, the entire Dark Scorch army¡¯s powers came from Satan. Satan was like another leader and with the army Satan had been unwilling to obey God of Deathpletely.

    The kin of every soldier in the Dark Scorch army was a puppet of the God of Death. If it was not for that, they would have rebelled long ago.

    Except for Doll¡¯s Iron Army, the other two armies were in simr situation. The apostles were currently still taking orders from God of Death but the supercats were getting out of hand. Hence, every army had two leaders. One was their supercat, the other was God of Death.

    Doll¡¯s Iron army was easier to controlpared to Dark Scorch and Virtual Spirit-Body army due to their powers.

    Except for Iron, Dark Scorch, Ark legion, and the Spirit army, God of Death still had a batch of strong apostles for back up.

    After God of Death went through the situation in his head, he answered ck Tiger. ¡°It¡¯s okay. The power we have now is enough. As long as we kill the Headless Horseman, there will be no one else who can stop us.¡±

    Another man said, ¡°Why hasn¡¯t the Iron Army arrived?¡± His nickname was Shadowless and he was the leader of the Virtual-spirit army.

    God of Deathughed and said, ¡°They have more important things to do.¡± He thought to himself. ¡°Doll is sealed in the factory¡¯s server. Without Inte and Wi-Fi, he is not a problem. He would only be a burden if he came. Now, I just have to deal with the three of them.¡±

    God of Death asked, ¡°Is Fish noting?¡± Fish was the supercat who had the Virtual Spirit-Body power.

    Shadowless shook his head. ¡°Nobody knows where he went but he should be nearby.¡±

    God of Death worried. ¡°Among the three cats, Fish is the hardest to catch. If it not for his brother who is in my hands, I am afraid that he would have left. Even when he lends powers he stays in his Virtual Spirit-Body form. His whereabouts arepletely unknown. It is difficult to capture him.¡±

    King of Death asked ck Tiger, ¡°What about Satan? Is he here? Safe?¡±

    ck Tiger replied proudly. ¡°Be assured Boss, we will protect Satan 24 hours a day. If anyone wants to harm him, they will have to go through us.¡±

    King of Death seemed to be satisfied but in his heart he sighed again. ¡°Compared to Fish, Satan is much easier to find. However, he has about 200 apostles protecting him and he owns the Dark Scorch powers. It will be hard to deal with him too.¡±

    Another middle aged woman with a slightly plump body asked, ¡°Why are we gathering here? I think we should attack Jianghai straight away, find the Headless Horseman, and kill him. With the powers we have now there is nothing to fear.¡±

    The apostles around her nodded in agreement and smiled excitedly.

    ¡°We have been waiting for too long.¡±

    ¡°We should be given the wealth and rights that match our capabilities.¡±

    ¡°It is about time that the world knew of our existence.¡±

    God of Death frowned upon hearing this. In the past, they would never have questioned his orders out loud.

    When everyone was excited and praising each other, a voice came from behind God of Death.

    ¡°What existence? Get ready to eat shit.¡±

    Everyone looked up to see a man who was in ck cloak and without a head appear in front of them.

    ¡°The Headless Horseman!¡±

    ¡°Kill him!¡±

    ¡°Hahahaha, you are looking for death!¡±

    When they saw the Headless Horseman, they were overjoyed. All of them wanted to activate their powers and kill him.

    God of Death looked at Zhao Yao in shock and asked worriedly, ¡°Why did you reveal yourself? Didn¡¯t we agree on locating the cats first?¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t wait anymore.¡± Zhao Yao looked at the apostles and all of them looked like 10 experience points to him. He did missions for four days but could only level up Lucifer. Sphynx had not been leveled up.

    Looking at the harvest in front of him, he smiled. ¡°If you guys are eating shit, would you like it sweet or salty?¡±

    All the apostles were infuriated and wanted to activate their powers. Then, they realized that they were unable to.

    As a matter of fact, Zhao Yao dared to reveal himself as he was confident that they could not escape. He can controlled the whole venue with illusion powers and all the apostles were in it.

    Soon, screams rang through the conference room as the apostles were fed shit in the illusion.

    In the real world, Zhao Yao took away their five senses and looked at the people on the floor. He opened the panel happily. ¡°There are 23 people in total and so that is 230*2 experience points. Not bad, it is enough to level up Sphynx cat. We can capture the rest of the apostles and cats after the level up.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 720: Level Up</h4>

    Zhao Yao decided to level up before he looked for them so he ate himself into the Extradimensional Belly.

    When King of Death ran out, he was only in time to see Zhao Yao¡¯s lower body disappear into the void of space. He shouted, ¡°What are we going to do next?¡±

    ¡°Wait, I am going to level up.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± King of Death was confused and suddenly felt that Zhao Yao was pretty unreliable.

    Zhao Yao returned to the Extradimensional Belly and opened the panel. After looking at the experience points, he leveled up Sphynx cat from Lv6 to Lv7. With Lucifer¡¯s level up, Zhao Yao¡¯s panel now looked like this:

    Book: Lv 6 (20042/20000)

    Matcha: Lv 8 (5910/50000)

    Elizabeth: Lv 9 (700/100000)

    Dust Ball: Lv 8 (27755/50000)

    Ares: Lv 7 (5900/20000)

    Lucifer: Lv 7(0/20000)

    Sphynx Cat: Lv7 (0/20000)

    ¡°Very good. Now Lucifer and Sphynx cat are both Lv7.¡± Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°Lucifer was leveled up to Lv7 this morning.¡± He had added a new skill named Physical Evolution. It was aprehensive enhancement.

    The original ultra rapid regeneration required the body to be 15% intact for regeneration. 15% and below would activate the elerated Generation thatsted for three minutes and cools down for 24 hours.

    Now, he only needed the body to be 10% intact for rapid generation and elerated Generation would activate for 6 minutes and cool down for 12 hours when it was below 10%.

    ¡°With Lucifer¡¯s level up, I can receive more damage now. Let¡¯s look at Sphynx¡¯s level up.¡±

    Zhao Yao open Sphynx cat¡¯s ability tree and the two skill points were:

    Ability Exemption: With training, after the body undergoes a hit, there¡¯s a chance that the ability will be exempted. The highest probability for exemption was the level *1%.

    Physical Explosion: With training, fitness will be umted. It can explode once every day and all the physical abilities will be enhanced temporarily.

    Zhao Yao ced his focus on the Ability Exemption. Although the Physical Explosion was very powerful, Zhao Yao was not in need of explosive power. It was the Ability Exemption that held great potential for growth.

    The probability of exemption before this was his level *0.5%, even at Lv7 Sphynx cat could only obtain an exemption of 3.5%.

    Now, it was doubled and it became level *1%. Sphynx cat who was Lv7 had 7% chance of being exempted. Furthermore, from the description, the probability of exemption probably could be increased in the future. Even if it didn¡¯t, as long as Sphynx cat leveled up, the percentage of exemption would still increase. If it hit 10% and above, it would be very powerful.

    ¡°This is a great skill.¡± Zhao Yao looked at it with great desire. ¡°The crucial thing is that this skill epasses training. If I upgrade the Book and merge Sphynx cat¡¯s powers, does it mean that I will still be exempted even if I change powers?¡±

    ¡°Even if it can¡¯t be done, I can train myself and with the exemption be gay... No I still cannot be gay. However, if I do, I still can change myself back.¡±

    After thinking about it, Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t resist the temptation and added the skill points. Sphynx cat could then obtain an ability exemption of 7%.

    Zhao Yao nod his head in satisfaction and returned back to the real world. He nned to continue his Ivory mission.

    ¡°Let me take a look. I am left with Spirit, Dark Scorch and Ark army. Hmm...¡± Zhao Yao rubbed his chin and thought, ¡°The Spirit supercat is hard to locate. I shall deal with itst. I shall kill the Ark and Dark Scorch army first.¡±

    ¡°Oh, I almost forgot to ask where they were.¡±

    Zhao Yao walked out again and saw King of Death rushed up looking worried. ¡°Where is your back up? Why are you the only one here? Why did you attack now? They contacted me just now. What should we do now? This is different from what was nned!¡±

    Zhao Yao patted his shoulder and said, ¡°Rx, everything is under control.¡±

    Zhao Yao used illusion and wake ck Tiger up.

    ck Tiger felt giddy like he just crawled out from hell. Then, he saw the Headless Horseman in front of him and jerked in fear. ¡°What do you want?¡±

    He watch Zhao Yao pull out a ck thing out from the void of space and he was speechless. Zhao Yao was so old and powerful, the Cat King of Jianghai. Why did he like to y with poop so much?

    ¡°Can we not do this?¡± ck Tiger asked, ¡°We are all people with status. Can we just talk properly?¡±

    Headless Horseman threw the thing on his hand asked, ¡°Where are all your people?¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t reveal that.¡± ck Tigerughed bitterly. ¡°Can we change the question?¡±

    ¡°Guys.¡± Headless Horseman said, ¡°Feed him dirt until he is full.¡±

    After a few minutes, Zhao Yao managed to find out the location of the base of the three armies from the apostles.

    After depriving their five senses again, Zhao Yao thought about it and removed the Dimension Portal in the 18th storey. He opened it in the conference room and threw all the apostles into the Extradimensional Belly.

    Zhao Yao was thinking, ¡°Safetyes first. I should shut these guys in the dimension portal and ask Dust Ball to follow me with the Dimension Portal.¡±

    With the Dimension Portal, it was like carrying a super powered Arsenal. He could use Time Freeze and stuff a cat with Spicy Cat Strips before dragging them out of the Dimension Portal.

    Normally, he could fish out any cat for battle anytime anywhere. It could be counted as a portable supercat mecha.

    He shouted through the Extradimensional Belly for a few times and realized that Dust Ball ignored him. She did note over and manipte the Dimension Portal.

    ¡°Is Dust Ball not here?¡± Zhao Yao devoured himself into the Extradimensional Belly again.

    King of Death watch Zhao Yao disappear slowly and shook his head. ¡°He disappeared again. Is he going to the toilet?¡±

    ...

    ¡°Dust Ball, what are you doing?¡±

    In the Extradimensional Belly, when Zhao Yao found Dust Ball, he realized that Dust Ball was chatting on the Inte. He asked in bewilderment, ¡°Dust Ball, I have been shouting for you. Did you not hear me?¡±

    Dust Ball turned, folded her paws in front of chest and hollered, ¡°Roar! Roar!¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes. ¡°What did she read again?¡¯ He nced through the conversation. ¡°nk panther? Wakanda?¡±

    Dust Ball continued her action and said, ¡°ck Panther¡¯s gang¡¯s ck cats told me a secret. It turns out that the orange cats, white cats, and ck cats have different ancestors.

    Orange cats are evolved from lions, white cats evolved from tigers and we, ck cats, are evolved from ck panthers. Although we look like cats, we are panthers.¡±

    ¡°Issues when onecksmon sense... Should I let them study?¡± Zhao Yao was at a loss for words but he did not want to shatter Dust Ball¡¯s dream. He stroke Dust Ball on the head and said, ¡°Okay, okay, little panther. Help me open the Dimension Portal.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t stroke my head. I am a ck panther.¡± Dust Ball hissed, ¡°Don¡¯t treat me like a normal cat.¡±

    Zhao Yao pped Dust Ball on the head and pushed her onto the floor. ¡°Hurry up, open the Dimension Portal and follow me or I will peel off your panther skin.¡±

    Dust Ball touched her head and swore in her heart. ¡°When I get to Africa and find Wakanda, you will no longer dare to be so disrespectful towards me.¡±

    Zhao Yao brought along the Dimension Portal and he walked out.

    ¡°Let me look at the location.¡± As he pulled out the phone navigation. ¡°The Dark Scorch army is nearer to us. Let¡¯s go there.¡±

    Zhao Yao walked along the streets until he reached the meeting point of the Dark Scorch army. The meeting point that King of Death chose was a small city in the South. There were a few hundred thousand people living there and the total area of the city was small. But now many police cars patrolled around.

    Zhao Yao wondered, ¡°Did Uncle Ho and the rest find out about it?¡±

    Then, Zhao Yao¡¯s phone rang. Uncle Ho¡¯s voice spoke, ¡°Zhao Yao? Where are you? We have something here that needs your help.¡±

    ¡°About the King of Death?¡±

    Uncle Ho was stunned. ¡°How did you know?¡±

    ¡°I am already at XX city.¡±

    Uncle Ho nodded. ¡°You received the news too? This time, it is not a joking matter, King of Death gathered up to thousands of apostles there and they are all extremely dangerous. We cannot let them cause chaos. We hope that you can help settle this issue.¡±

    Mission: Suppression of Chaos

    Mission Objective: Prevent Ivory¡¯s apostles from creating trouble in the city. Minimize the witnesses and protect the civilians.

    Reward: The lesser the number of witnesses and casualties, the higher the experience points gained. Maximum 5000 experience points.

    Witness and casualties more than 1000, experience points 0.

    Mission Penalty: Nil

    Upon seeing this mission, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up and thought, ¡°This means every witness or casualty, I will be deducted 5 experience points right?¡±

    He stopped in his tracks and told Uncle Ho. ¡°No problem. Leave it up to me. I will take care of them.¡±

    ¡°Wait..wait...¡± Uncle Ho shouted, ¡°We have sent a team of elite apostles to cooperate with you. You should meet them first, set a n, then take action.¡±

    Although Uncle Ho had faith in Zhao Yao¡¯sbat powers, it was still 1000 apostles gathered in groups around the city. If any ident urred and a dozen of them decided to create chaos, it would produce arge scale destruction. This was uneptable for Uncle Ho and his team.

    Zhao Yao looked at the mission criteria and shook his head. ¡°There is no time for that. I have already attacked their leader. Now, I have to rush over or they will realize something is amiss and start to create a havoc.¡±

    Uncle Ho was shocked. ¡°You already attacked? Where? Who is it?¡±

    ¡°I think it was ck Tiger, Shadowless, and a middle age woman?¡± Zhao Yao exined as he walked.

    Uncle Ho was dumbfounded. ¡°They are the four leaders of the King of Death¡¯s army and you captured all of them?¡±

    Zhao Yao exined, ¡°The Iron Army was not there, so it was only three.¡±

    ¡°I know!¡± Uncle Ho was worried. ¡°Now, we are in trouble. If the rest of them lose contact with ck Tiger, they will realize something is amiss. We have to hurry up. Who are going for now?¡±

    Zhao Yao reported the whereabouts of the three armies and said, ¡°I am going to deal with the Dark Scorch army first. Ask your men to report to the next two locations and evacuate the public.¡±

    Zhao Yao came in front of an apartment building. ¡°Is it here? Most of the Dark Scorch army was inside the building. Some of them went out to check out the situation.¡± He spoke into the phone and said, ¡°I am here. I will talk to youter.¡±

    Zhao Yao hung up and walked into the apartment.

    ¡°The simplest and safest way would be to find Satan the supercat.¡± Zhao Yao thought about it. ¡°As long as I find Satan and make him take back the apostles¡¯ powers the rest will be very simple. I will just have to gather them and deal with them together.¡±

    ¡°I can do both at the same time.¡±

    He used illusion and changed into ck Tiger.

    ¡°Let¡¯s sneak in with this.¡±

    When he walked out of the lift on the 12th floor, he saw two guys in ck t-shirt. Both stood up straight immediately when they saw ck Tiger and greeted him respectfully. ¡°Boss!¡±

    ¡°Boss, you are back!¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head and walked in without answering.

    The two of them looked at ck Tiger in surprise. When ck Tiger left, he was not alone. Where was the rest?

    ¡°Boss, where is the rest?¡±

    Zhao Yao turned and said,¡±They are eating KFC downstairs. They wille upter.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± One person asked in bewilderment. ¡°KFC?¡±

    ¡°Yes?¡± Zhao Yao red and asked coldly. ¡°Is there a problem?¡±

    ¡°N... no, no.¡±

    Zhao Yao red and them and walked towards the corridor. As he walked past, the rooms that were filled with Dark Scorch Army¡¯s apostles greeted him.

    Zhao Yao grew wary. ¡°There are so many of them here. If it is not for me, there probably would be a war. Where is Satan?¡± As he saw more and more apostles, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up. All these weren¡¯t humans, they were walking experience points.

    He patted Roly Poly and said, ¡°Go and find Satan. I will deal with all the apostles.¡±

    Roly Poly leaped onto the floor while he was invisible and pressed onto his eye mask. ¡°Haha, it is finally my turn to showcase my abilities. If Iplete this well, I will be like Ares, Sphynx cat, and rest, to be the one with main strength and not just be an assistant.¡±

    Zhao Yao walked into a big room and shook his hand to his men as they stood up to greet him. ¡°Gather everyone here. I have something important to announce.¡±

    A few apostles walked towards the room and rushed over when they saw the room filled with people.

    However, when they stepped in, it was aplete change. They entered an unfamiliar ce and all they saw were supercats yingputer and video games.

    Before they could react, there was a sharp pain on the back of their heads. Sphynx cat whacked them on the back of their heads and wanted to knock them unconscious.

    However, after the whack, all three of their heads were burning in ck mes and none of them fainted. They turned around and looked at Sphynx cat in fury.

    ¡°Who are you?

    ¡°Where am I?¡±

    ¡°Send us back!¡±

    Sphynx cat looked at his fist. ¡°Can¡¯t be knocked unconscious? Then, I shall capture them.¡± He zoomed pass the three of them like a whirlwind and used the steel columns he used for training to trap them. Then, he threw them aside.

    The three apostles struggled but it was to no avail.

    Although Dark Scorch gave them the power to absorb other powers and gain physical strength, Sphynx cat had just trapped them. They had no chance to enhance their physical strength to the extent where they could break the steel columns.

    While they were struggling, the Dimension Portal moved slightly and another two apostles from the Dark Scorch army entered. They were also subdued by Sphynx cat.

    In the entire fight, Zhao Yao was determined to minimize the number of witness and casualties. Hence, he did not give the Dark Scorch apostles any chance to create chaos, retaliate, and escape.

    Outside the Extradimensional Belly, Zhao Yaoid on the sofa and stroked Elizabeth who was in his arms as he watch the apostles walk into the Dimension Portal like fish.

    Dust Ball controlled the Dimension Portal, Elizabeth made an illusion such that the apostles think they were walking towards the gathering point and Sphynx cat was on the other side of the Dimension Portal subduing the apostles.

    Zhao Yao changed to Time Freeze and was ready to activate it if something went wrong.

    Zhao Yao smiled happily as every apostle who walked in contributed to 10*2 experience points. This was the first time he gain experience points so easily.

    ¡°Haizz, why does King of Death only have so little apostles? It would be wonderful if he had ten thousand of them.¡±

    Then, two apostles looked towards the room and their face changed. ¡°Enem...¡±

    When they were halfway through the word, Zhao Yao activated the Time Freeze and walked to them.

    He pulled out their ear plugs and understood. ¡°So, King of Death and most of his men already know that they can defend against my illusion by blocking their hearing. However, not all of them have ear plugs on. Luckily, I have changed to Time Freeze or it would have startled the rest.¡±

    He looked at the men in front of him and threw them into the Dimension Portal.

    When time flowed again, the two of them were spinning and found that they came to aplete foreign environment.

    They were stunned when they saw theirpanions tied up. Then, they felt something tight and they were tied up too.

    Roly Poly was sniffing around and looking for the cat. Soon, he came in front of a room, there five strong men standing at the door and they had cat fur all over their clothes. They were in charge of protecting Satan and would not leave even if Zhao Yao had asked them to gather.

    Roly Poly was thinking. ¡°He is protected inside?¡±

    When Roly Poly was thinking about how to get it, another men walked over. He was carrying a Persian cat as he knocked and walked in.

    ¡°Satan, the cat is here.¡±

    Roly Poly followed him immediately and saw that there were 10 other men in the room. A leopard cat was lying on the bed and he licked his lips while he looked at the female cat. ¡°Finally, hurry, hurrye up onto the bed.¡±

    The female cat jumped off the arms of the men and walked towards the bed. ¡°I aming. Don¡¯t be in such a hurry.¡±

    ¡°This is Satan?¡± Roly Poly eyes lit up as he saw this scene. He took out his phone instinctively and recorded it. However, he stopped it the next moment. ¡°No, no. Now is not the time to be doing this.¡±

    But, he still could not resist and raised his phone. ¡°This is a leopard cat and Persian cat. Furthermore, it is a sneak shot. This is rare.¡±

    On the bed, the leopard cat asked enthusiastically. ¡°What is you rank?¡±

    Roly Poly frowned. ¡°Rank? Now days, they talk about rank when theye out and y?¡±

    The female cat answered,¡±Diamond One.¡±

    The leopard cat smiled and said,¡±Very good.¡± Then he pulled out two phones. ¡°If you can bring me up to Gold tonight, money is not a problem.¡±

    Then, the two cats started ying Mobile Legends. Roly Poly put down his phone. ¡°Idiots. Gaming in a room.¡± He texted Zhao Yao.

    Soon, the men in the room copsed one by one. The rest who had ear plugs stood in their positions and were wary.

    ¡°Enemy attack!¡±

    ¡°Be careful!¡±

    The apostles in the room started disappearing one by one. In the end, there were only two shivering cats left on the bed.

    The female cat shouted, ¡°It has nothing to do with me. I am just here to y with him.¡±

    ¡°Leave.¡±

    The female cat walked off in fear and left the leopard cat on the bed. Satan looked terrified as he asked, ¡°Who are you?¡±

    He cked out and was sent into the Extradimensional Belly. Elizabeth controlled him and took back all the powers he had lent out.

    The Dark Scorch army was dealt with effortlessly. Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief and through this, he had collected 2300*2 experience points. The panel became Book: Lv6 (24642/20000).

    Of the four armies, the Dark Scorch was the easiest to deal with. The Spirit and Ark army were more troublesome.

    Zhao Yao walked out. ¡°Then next ...¡± He thought about it. ¡°If I choose the Spirit army, even I can¡¯t guarantee that I can capture all of them. If one escapes, they will notify the Ark.¡±

    ¡°I shall deal with the Ark army first.¡±

    Zhao Yao called Uncle Ho.

    Uncle Ho asked worriedly. ¡°Zhao Yao? Where are you...¡±

    ¡°I have dealt with the Dark Scorch army. I am going for the Ark army now. Ask your men to not act rashly.¡±

    Uncle Ho was shocked. ¡°Wh... What? The Dark Scorch army has been dealt with? It was such a short period of time.¡±

    ...

    In the only five star hotel in XXX city. Youths looked towards the building nervously.

    ¡°What should we do?¡± A girl asked, ¡°There are at least 500 apostles inside. What are our superiors doing? Why aren¡¯t they sending back-up?¡±

    A middle aged man looked at his phone and said, ¡°They want us to wait for a guy. What difference can one man make? In such situations, we need an army.¡±

    When they were worried and nervous, they saw Zhao Yao walking towards the hotel.

    The middle aged man stopped him immediately and said, ¡°Sir, the hotel is closed today. Pleasee back on another day.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at him and said, ¡°You guys did a great job. I will do the rest.¡±

    The middle aged man was stunned as he watched Zhao Yao walk towards the hotel. He stopped Zhao Yao again and said, ¡°Are you an official apostle? You want to go in alone? Don¡¯t be rash. The Ark army is inside. They are not normal criminals. You can¡¯t settle this alone. Let¡¯s wait for back-up.¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed, ¡°I am the back-up.¡±

    Seeing that the middle aged man still wanted to stop him Zhao Yao shed into the hotel.

    The middle aged man was furious. ¡°What is this guy doing? This is absurd.¡±

    Hispanions walked up to him and the girl asked, ¡°Leader Huang, so what should we do now?¡±

    The middle age man looked at hispanions and clenched his teeth. ¡°I will follow him in to see the situation. The rest of you stay here and request back-up.¡±

    In the hotel, Zhao Yao was disguise as a member of the Ark Army and went to the level they had booked.

    He walked out of the lift and all the Ark Army apostles greeted him.

    Zhao Yao had disguises himself as the middle aged woman and ordered while acknowledging them, ¡°Call everyone over. I have something important to announce.¡±

    Zhao Yao wanted to set up the same trap and deal with them the same way he dealt with the Dark Scorch Army. Trick them into the Extradimensional Belly one by one and subdue them.

    However, when he activated the Dimension Portal and was waiting in the room with Elizabeth, he noticed something was amiss. All the apostles in the corridor had disappeared and the room was silent, no sound could be heard.

    Zhao Yao reached out and threw Elizabeth into the Dimension Portal.

    Afterpleting that, he felt his body tighten and he asked coldly, ¡°Virtual-spirit army?¡±

    There wereughters in the background as a menacing voice answered, ¡°Headless Horseman, you dare toe alone? Do you really think that you are invincible? You are hopeless.¡±

    A figure walked out from the corridor. It was a short haired girl and the girl looked at Zhao Yao calmly. ¡°You have been tricked. Do you really think that we have not discovered you?¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned. He could feel that the virtual spirit-body apostles had ced a few things in him. However, he had changed to Time Freeze and hence was not panicking. He asked rxedly, ¡°When did you discover me?¡±

    In the void of space, the menacing voice spoke again. ¡°Do you think that the virtual-spirit army would not be around for the King of Death conference? From the moment you attacked, we knew.¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned. ¡°So you guys watched me deal with the Dark Scorch army?¡±

    The girlughed,¡±Those morons, they were always unwilling to go against the King of Death with us but their powers were troublesome. It would take hours to deal with them. If we fought them, we were giving third parties a chance to attack. Since, you were going after them of course we wouldn¡¯t stop you.¡±

    The menacing voice sounded again. ¡°What we did not think of was that you are indeed powerful. You finished them off alone. However, it all ends here. Your life is in our hands and surrender is your only option.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes gleamed as he said slowly. ¡°So, you think you guys have won?¡±

    The girlughed, ¡°There is a counter to all powers. The Dark Scorch Army has invincible attack and defense but are most afraid of being captured. You have many controlling powers so of course you have it easy.

    However, the Ark army and Virtual Spirit army are the strongest in offense and defense. Right now, we are cing eight different toxins in your body using the Virtual Spirit-Body. When the toxins activate, you are sure to die.

    There are radioactive toxins included. Even we do not have the antidote for them. I advise you to not resist or as long as we do not take out the toxins you can only wait for your death.¡±

    The girl looked at Zhao Yao confidently like everything was under her control.

    Zhao Yao nodded. ¡°Oh, that is so powerful...¡± He looked at the girl and asked, ¡°You are from the Ark army? Are they all inside your body?¡±

    Zhao Yao have heard about the Ark Army¡¯s powers from the King of Death. They could ce someone with simr powers inside their body and obtain their body qualities.

    Which also meant that the more people they ced in their body, the stronger they got.

    Evidently, all the Ark Army¡¯s apostles were in the girl¡¯s body, giving her the physical abilities of more than 500 people and transforming her into a real superhuman.

    When she heard Zhao Yao¡¯s question she smiled. ¡°You can call me Promise. By the way, I have removed my sense of hearing.¡± She pointed to her head and said, ¡°I ammunicating to you through lip reading, so your illusions are useless against us. Just surrender.¡±

    ¡°You guys are prepared.¡± Zhao Yao was curious. ¡°But, you guys are persuading me to surrender?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± The menacing voice from the Virtual-spirit army answered, ¡°If it was not that you are of value, you would have long been dead, Headless Horseman.¡± He was the other person in charge of the Virtual-spirit army, Formless.

    Formless had lead more than 300 apostles to surround Zhao Yao. They could pass through Zhao Yao anytime and ce or take out anything from inside his body.

    When the three of them were conversing, the middle-aged man who stopped Zhao Yao was hiding behind the fire door and heard all of the conversation. His heart was chilled.

    ¡°Our back-up is the Headless Horseman?¡± The middle-aged man had heard of the Headless Horseman, this Cat King of Jianghai had one of the bestbat powers in the country. Some people even believed that he was one of the strongest apostles in the country.

    ¡°What should I do now? Even the Headless Horseman is trapped.¡± The middle-aged man was very nervous. ¡°Damn it, I told him not toe up alone.¡±

    A trace of hesitation shed across his face as he pulled out a stun grenade. ¡°No matter what, I have to create an opportunity for him to escape.¡±

    He understood that although the Headless Horseman and him were both apostles, the Headless Horseman¡¯s life was much more valuable than his. If the Headless Horseman died here, it would be a great loss for the country and there would be more casualties if they fought against the Ark Army and Virtual-spirit army without him.

    But, if he attacked, he knew that with his capabilities, it signified death. Thinking of it, his hands trembled.

    The middle-aged man took a deep breath and calmed down. ¡°Haha, why am I afraid. I knew this day wasing wasn¡¯t it?¡±

    Then, he charged out of the door, threw out his stun grenade and yelled, ¡°Run!¡±

    None of the apostles were shocked by his appearance. Promise had the physical abilities of 500 people, 300 formless apostles surrounded the floor, and Zhao Yao had five cat¡¯s powers and they all knew he was there.

    ¡°So courageous.¡± Promise sneered and rushed up as fast as lightning to the shing spot. She reached out and the stun grenade was in her hands. She closed her palms and crushed the stun grenade into small pieces of scrap metal as she threw them on the floor.

    The middle-aged man was shocked by her powers but did not give up and activated his speeding abilities as he charged towards Promise.

    The speeding ability borrowed from the government had been strengthened over time with use and had reached a very high level.

    The middle-aged man was not the mostpatible with the speeding ability and could not unleash the greatest power of the speeding ability. However, once the ability was activated, the surrounding movement became slower and slower. It was to the point where even the pping wings of a fly could be seen clearly and precisely.

    Under such circumstances, the middle-aged man moved alone in a slow-motion world, advancing towards Promise with each step he took. At the same time, he slowly raised the gun in his hand and aimed at Promise¡¯s chest.

    ¡°I can¡¯t stop the Virtual-Spirit Army but Promise... I should at least injure her...¡±

    However, the middle-aged man was petrified. In the world of slow-motion, he could clearly see Promise cracking her head and her eyes narrowing slightly as she gave him a death stare.

    ¡°She... she¡¯s staring at me?¡± The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment. ¡°How is that possible?¡±

    To his astonishment, Promise slowly opened her mouth and spoke, ¡°This... is... too... slow...¡±

    The next moment, the youngdy raised a leg and kicked the middle-aged man with such speed that he was not able to react in time.

    With her superhuman abilities, Promise was able to reach the same level of speed as the middle-aged man.

    Bam! In increased speed mode, the middle-aged man was sent flying by the youngdy and smacked against the wall of the hotel with a loud thud. As numerous cracks formed on the wall, the middle-aged man slumped on the floor and spat out a mouthful of blood.

    By the time the man managed to raise his head, Promise reappeared in front of him in a gust of wind and aimed her foot to step on his head.

    The youngdy did not show any sign of mercy. With one step of her leg, the air seemed to have burst under pressure and gusts of wind pressed against the man¡¯s face.

    In the face of the terrifying foot that was about tond on him, the middle-aged man could not think of a counterattack and hopelessness ensued as he thought to himself, ¡°I¡¯m finished...¡±

    Right at the next moment a loud explosion was heard as the crazy gusts of air burst open in front of the middle-aged man. When he regained his senses, he saw the Headless Horseman had already appeared in front of him.

    Promise had already mmed through the wall into another room.

    With loud bang, she sent the cement, bricks and dust on her body flying off in all directions. She stood up with an eerie aura as she looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Headless Horseman, are you really wishing for death?¡±

    Right before that, Zhao Yao activated time freeze and carried Promise over to the wall for her to m head-first into it to save the middle-aged man.

    Zhao Yao ignored Promise¡¯s question and justmunicated telepathically to Roly Poly, ¡°Have you found the supercat?¡±

    Roly Poly jumped onto Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulders and replied, ¡°Nope. I searched all the rooms on this level, there wasn¡¯t even a strand of cat fur around.¡±

    Zhao Yao was chatting with his opponent as he let Roly Poly out to invisibly find the traces of the supercat. As Roly Poly¡¯s invisibility range wasrge enough, Zhao Yao was not worried that it would not be able to cover his head while Roly Poly was searching the whole level to find the supercats.

    s, Roly Poly did not manage to find the supercat.

    Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°The supercat from the Ark Army should be in Promise¡¯s body now. The virtual-spirit supercat will be the most troublesome one.¡±

    Promise walked towards him and screamed, ¡°Headless Horseman, did you hear what I just said?¡±

    Zhao Yao turned and nced at her curiously, ¡°What did you say?¡±

    ¡°You!¡± Promise screamed. ¡°Looks like we have been belittled, Formless.¡±

    Formless¡¯ eerie voice emanated from the space around them, ¡°Promise, I wouldn¡¯t mind if you want to beat him up first.¡±

    Promise smirked and shook her arms to warm up as she said, ¡°Headless Horseman, if you can¡¯t take the blows just say it. I will go easy on you...¡±

    In a sh, Promise¡¯s punch flew over, bringing with it mad gusts of wind whichnded right smack on Zhao Yao¡¯s... shadow.

    Looking at the shadows that were slowly disappearing and at Zhao Yao who reappeared at the other end of the corridor, Promise narrowed her eyes as she moved in a sh, pursuing him with yet another punch.

    However, as fast as she was, Zhao Yao could still sense her movement with thebined powers of his five cats.

    Basically whenever he saw her body sh, Zhao Yao had already activated time freeze and appeared at another spot. As long as Promise¡¯s speed was not too fast for Zhao Yao to react, even if Zhao Yao was not physically able to match her pace, he would have had enough time to activate time freeze to avoid her blows.

    ¡°Teleportation...¡± Seeing how Zhao Yao easily avoided her blows, Promise¡¯s face darkened even more as she let out an angry roar, unleashing all the powers in her body. A storm-like force was generated which charged towards Zhao Yao in full.

    As she rained kicks and punches, walls and doors burst apart from the impact of her attacks. The floor beneath them crackedyer byyer, forming countless crack lines that spread out in all directions.

    Promise screamed, ¡°Headless Horseman! You can¡¯t escape.¡±

    It looked as if Zhao Yao had no chance to counterattack from all the blows that were aimed at him, but in reality he led Promise around the whole floor as he thought to himself, ¡°The supercat of the Virtual-spirit Army... there¡¯s really no trace of him. I can¡¯t tell where he is... I don¡¯t even know if he¡¯s really here at all.¡±

    Looking at Promise as the world was in a standstill, Zhao Yao thought, ¡°If this next move can¡¯t catch the virtual-spirit cat, I¡¯ll just have to finish them all off.¡±

    In the next moment, Zhao Yao had already walked into the Extradimensional Belly. He searched high and low for Catherine, the ragdoll cat mother who was currently trimming her fur. He also brought Sphynx cat out, who had been squatting in front of Rice Cake¡¯s cage.

    Zhao Yao walked back into the hotel through the dimension portal with Catherine and Sphynx cat in his arms. He threw Sphynx cat onto Promise¡¯s body and walked to an empty spot.

    ¡°This spot should be just nice,¡± Zhao Yao observed his spot for a moment. He walked out again and unleashed the full powers of his five cats, sting against a door 10 times over.

    ¡°This should work now.¡±

    At that moment, Zhao Yao could clearly see all the rooms of the floor where he stood.

    It turned out that as he led Promise in a full circle around the whole floor just then, he had made use of her attacks to knock down every wall, ornament and furniture, clearing his view of the whole floor.

    Most importantly, everyone could see where he was standing.

    Zhao Yao spent so much effort on this as he wanted to have full control over his view of the ce. He wanted all the apostles that were casting the virtual spirit-body power to see him clearly at that moment, without leaving any of them out.

    Next, he activated the Paralysis Ring and switched from the power of time freeze to ultra rapid regeneration as he screamed out, ¡°All you b*stards! Look here!¡±

    As the Time Freeze switched to Ultra Rapid Regeneration, time started to run again.

    With that shout from Zhao Yao, every virtual-spirit apostle that was invisible and formless all stared at Zhao Yao at that moment. Their gazes were fixed on the red spot of light that shot out from the Paralysis Ring. As the sound rang out from the Paralysis Ring, all the apostles gathered around the spot of red light.

    Even the middle-aged man who flew out from the hotel chased back in as he was attracted to the red light from the Paralysis Ring.

    Promise screamed in rm as Sphynx cat had already dragged her and barged down through the floors of the building chasing after the red spot of light.

    Formless screamed, ¡°D*mn it, Headless Horseman, are you bent onunching a full-scale battle with us? Don¡¯t forget about the poison in your body. Quick, stop whatever you¡¯re doing now!¡±

    Zhao Yao ambled around the floor leading the huge crowd of invisible and formless virtual-spirit apostles with him with the power of the Paralysis Ring. Hearing Formless¡¯ words, he scoffed and said, ¡°You have the cheek to threaten me with that little bit of poison? I will be your grandson if I utter a sound in pain.¡±

    Formless was mad with rage but he did not want to kill the Headless Horseman on the spot. Afterall, he might still have some of the Dark Scorch Army and the supercat of the Dark Scorch Army on top of all the supercats he owned. Killing him off just like that would be too much of a waste.

    At the thought of that Formless screamed, ¡°Promise, what are you doing? Quick, stop him!¡±

    Bam! The floor beneath them erupted from the impact of a huge force as Promise jumped up in rage. She turned and stared at Zhao Yao as she said, ¡°Headless Horseman, you¡¯re really getting on my nerves...¡±

    Bang! A cat paw mmed Promise¡¯s head and the she flew out with a loud thud. However, she could only fly for three meters before Sphynx cat caught her by the feet and mmed her on the floor.

    As the floor suddenly cracked and gave way, both cat anddy fell downwards, crashing through the floors below. The massive sound of the floors giving way as they sted apart were mixed with Promise¡¯s screams.

    ¡°Get lost! You d*mned cat!¡±

    ¡°Let me go!¡±

    ¡°Ahh!!!¡±

    Promise¡¯s voice quickly changed from angry screams to terrified screams which ultimately turned into screams of anguish.

    The next moment, as ck shadows burst up from below, the crowd saw Promise all covered in blood trying to crawl up before the unknown mass of ck dragged her down again.

    Only the hands of Promise were seen iling in midair as she screamed, ¡°Formless! Save...¡±

    Roar! A shout was heard, followed by Promise¡¯s screams of agony as she struggled in the mass of ck.

    ¡°The Headless Horseman!¡±

    ¡°Quick, stop him!¡±

    ¡°Please!¡±

    Hearing the sounds that came from Promise the virtual-spirit apostles at the scene were dumbstruck and rooted to the spot. Since when did thedy who could break buildings with her bare hands screamed for mercy and what kind of monster was she up against?

    Although they knew that the Headless Horseman seemed to have a very strong supercat with him, they did not expect him to be able to subdue Promise whose body had the powers of 500 strong apostlesbined.

    Formless¡¯ tone changed immediately as well. He chased the red spot as he said, ¡°Enough, Headless Horseman, we can remove the poison in your body that has not acted up yet. Let everything stop now today, shall we?¡±

    Zhao Yao did not reply to him and continued to circle around the same floor.

    As Promise¡¯s screams weakened, Formless panicked, ¡°Did you hear me! Time is running out. If you don¡¯t agree with us, the outeryers of the poisonous pill in your body will dissolve. If we don¡¯t take it out for you, you will die!¡±

    Zhao Yao circled around the same floor for a few times as he thought to himself, ¡°If the cat from the virtual-spirit army was here he should have been attracted to my Paralysis Ring by now.¡± He heard Formless¡¯ words at that moment and scoffed in disdain as he said, ¡°It¡¯s just a bit of poison, just take it that I have lost if I scream out in pain.¡±

    ¡°You!¡± Formless was enraged. ¡°You¡¯re crazy.¡±

    The next moment, Zhao Yao suddenly stopped and touched his stomach. After a while the sensation eased and he continued walking again.

    Formless gaze lit up as he said, ¡°Headless Horseman has the poison started acting up? The first to act up will be the white arsenic. You will experience intense pain in your stomach and vomit blood thereafter. We can take out the poison in your stomach now before the otheryers of the poison dissolves in your body. You still have a chance...¡±

    ¡°Scared of poison? That¡¯s definitely not me,¡± Zhao Yao smirked but at the next moment he suddenly opened his mouth and involuntarily exhaled. After which he continued to lead the crowd along as if nothing had happened.

    Formless was shocked, ¡°How is this possible? White arsenic should cause intense pain in a person¡¯s stomach, why does this guy have no reaction to it? No, something is wrong.¡± He looked at Zhao Yao who was trembling slightly and thought to himself, ¡°It must be so painful that his body is trembling already. He can actually withstand such intense pain. This guy¡¯s will is really strong.¡±

    Formless shouted again, ¡°Enough, Headless Horseman. We admit your strength and greatness. Now release your control over us and we will help you to remove the white arsenic and the remaining poison from your body. Thereafter, we will retreat from this city.¡±

    Zhao Yao felt so good that he was trembling a little. He scoffed when he heard that, ¡°Retreat... your... ass. Just wait... to go... to jail... you guys.¡±

    Formless was exasperated, ¡°You¡¯re in so much pain you can¡¯t even speak properly. Why are you still putting up a strong front?¡±

    However, Zhao Yao stopped again as his body trembled even more.

    Formless frowned. He knew that the rest of the poison had started acting up one by one, and that the other party was doomed.

    He shook his head and said, ¡°Headless Horseman, you¡¯re really...¡± He stared as Zhao Yao¡¯s body started shaking uncontrobly and his face contorted as he clenched his teeth tightly without uttering a sound. At the sight of this, even Formless had to admire him for his determination and will.

    Formless thought of the white arsenic, cyanide, caustic soda, and paraquat he had put in the poison and shuddered.

    ¡°This guy. With eight different kinds of poison acting up in his body at the same time, won¡¯t his organs be in intense pain? Even death by a thousand cuts would not be as bad as this. How can he stand this? Doesn¡¯t he have any sense of pain?¡±

    The next moment, he saw Zhao Yao bending his back in ¡®pain¡¯. Formless had full admiration for him as he thought to himself, ¡°The Headless Horseman could actually withstand such intense pain. What sort of will is this? You¡¯re truly the strongest man of all strong men... I give it to you. After you die, I will arrange for someone to clean up your body.¡±

    The middle-aged man who had been running along was stunned as well. Tears welled up in his eyes as he stared at the Headless Horseman who was in intense ¡®pain¡¯ from being poisoned. ¡°Stop acting strong, Headless Horseman, just shout out your pain!¡±

    ¡°Shout your ass! My iron will is not something you guys can understand,¡± Zhao Yao opened his mouth as he spoke with a contradicting mix of anger and pleasure. ¡°You b*stards, what exactly did you stuff into my body?¡±

    ¡°You guys... are finished...¡±

    ¡°You guys... are dead...¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m so... angry...¡±

    Catherine meowed in Zhao Yao¡¯s hands, ¡°Zhao Yao, why do you sound exactly like Lucifer now?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t talk to me about Lucifer.¡±

    Thinking about how the effect of the Paralysis Ring was about toe to a stop, Zhao Yao aimed the ring at Catherine. Everyone¡¯s vision turned ck as they fell to the ground asleep.

    In an instant, hundreds of people squeezed together in the void of space and slumped to the floor at once, like dumplings being dropped in a pot.

    Catherine the Ragdoll cat¡¯s ability was to induce sleep when people looked at her. The priority level of her superpower was extremely high so apostles who had transformation abilities would lose its effect once they were induced into a sleep state.

    The apostles of the Virtual-Spirit Army fell to the ground asleep. However, during the process of the fall, most of them knocked against the ground and woke up.

    Formless roared loudly to awaken the rest. At the same time, he activated the Virtual Spirit-Body and entered an ethereal state that had no form and shadow.

    Hispanions activated their Virtual Spirit-Body after waking up.

    During their transformation, they discovered that the world had changedpletely.

    There was no ceiling. Instead, there was dark sky and two blood moons.

    The floorboards underneath their feet had be an infinite expanse ofnd popted with white wild grass that was a few meters tall.

    The breeze caressed thend and the wild grass swayed in the air like white frothy waves.

    ¡°Where... where is this ce?¡± Formless was shocked and he said, ¡°We were in the hotel just now. Why are we here?¡±

    The most frightening event happened. Everyone discovered that their transformation had failed and the Virtual Spirit-Body did not activate. They stood naked in the white wild grass.

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°Why did our abilities fail?¡±

    ¡°What should we do?¡±

    Seeing the panic in his men, Formless shouted, ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t panic! Come over here! Let¡¯s all gather together.¡±

    The sky echoed with loud noises. Everyone lifted their head and saw the two blood moons getting nearer andrger. Soon they became a pair of crimson eyes and Elizabeth¡¯s enormous cat face.

    Everyone looked in fear. The cat¡¯s face wasrge beyond imagination and her eyeballs moved around to look at them.

    Formless understood what was going on and shouted, ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t panic! This is an illusion!¡±

    His exmations were in vain. Once the five senses were controlled and the perception of time altered, the illusion was no different than reality. There was no way the apostles could stay calm.

    Quaking sounds were heard from the earth. Everyone shifted their gaze and sawrge figures running from thend¡¯s end towards them.

    The huge figures ran closer and closer and everyone had a clear view. They were giants in the likeness of Zhao Yao. Their hands swung wildly. The heads were tilted and the mouths wide open. Their tongues spilled out from their lips. The faces looked like idiots as they ran closer.

    Someone screamed, ¡°Strange giants!¡±

    Formless tried to calm everyone and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. They are just illusions. They are not real. Everyone, calm down and pretend nothing has happened.¡±

    Everyone nodded their head but as the hundreds of giants ran closer their faces showed signs of terror.

    Formless tried again to calm everyone and said, ¡°Don¡¯t panic. It¡¯s only an illusion that tries to scare us. We will not be harmed so calm down.¡±

    A ten meters tall Zhao Yao giant ran to Formless and swallowed him.

    ¡°Calming down is useless! Run!¡±

    The apostles were so terrified that they broke down and fled in all directions.

    In the real world, Elizabeth knelt at the entrance of the Dimension Portal andughed merrily while she manipted the illusions that entrapped the apostles. She thought happily, ¡°Hmm, let¡¯s have a few Zhao Yao zombies that will be more fun.¡±

    After being tossed into the Dimension Portal by Zhao Yao, she did not flee. Instead, she stayed at the entrance creating the illusions. The apostles exited their Virtual Spirit-Body and entered the sleep state in their normal form, after which they were immediately ensnared in the illusion created by Elizabeth.

    Zhao Yao walked one round and saw the fallen crowd. He shook his head and said, ¡°The supercat with the Virtual Spirit-Body superpower is not here so it is difficult to capture him... Woah hoo.¡±

    Speaking halfway, Zhao Yao trembled and emitted muffled sounds.

    Catherine looked puzzled at Zhao Yao and whispered, ¡°Looks almost alike...¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and felt waves of pleasure taking over his body. He understood that the poison had not been fully countered and he had to maintain the ultra rapid regeneration state. At this thought, he kicked the apostle lying by his leg.

    ¡°Why did I add the skill point¡ªtoxic effects of regeneration? Am I able to erase it?¡± Zhao Yao thought in frustration, ¡°This is not coherent with my machoness. My strong willpower was trained in vain.¡± He kicked the apostle who was lying by his feet once again.

    As Zhao Yao was fuming inside, Sphynx cat held Promise in his mouth and jumped up from arge hole in the lower level.

    Promise¡¯s body was full of injuries and her clothes tattered. She looked almost like a fleeing refugee.

    Her dejected face became shock after witnessing hundreds of fallen apostles on the floor. She could not imagine the apostles with Virtual Spirit-Body being subdued in such a short time.

    She looked at Zhao Yao and asked in surprise, ¡°You were not poisoned?¡±

    Zhao Yao spat out a mouthful of blood and casually wiped his mouth as he said, ¡°Trying to kill me with such little poison? It is only slightly more painful than a mosquito bite.¡±

    Promise was astonished and said, ¡°You have very strong willpower.¡± However, she thought, ¡°You vomited so much blood and still trying to act tough?¡±

    After Zhao Yao vomited more blood, he remembered the middle-aged guy that charged out with a gun. Facing Elizabeth, he shouted, ¡°Elizabeth, release that guy from the illusion, that one...¡±

    Elizabeth, who was focused in creating the illusions, got a fright, thinking that Zhao Yao had discovered that she was dabbling in Zhao Yao zombies and Zhao Yao giants. She jumped three meters and shouted, ¡°It¡¯s not me! I dare not!¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned and asked, ¡°What¡¯s with you?¡±

    Elizabeth pretended that nothing happened and said casually, ¡°Nothing, I¡¯ve released the man who charged from the illusions.¡±

    The middle-aged man touched his head and stood up, looking at the fallen apostles in shock. He looked bewildered at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°You¡¯ve subdued all of them? What about the poison in your body?¡±

    Zhao Yao replied proudly, ¡°I am able to ovee this insignificant poison with my willpower.

    The middle-aged man was astounded as he said, ¡°But... but you are bleeding profusely. Are you alright?¡±

    Blood was oozing was from the seven openings on Zhao Yao¡¯s head. As his head was invisible, blood was dripping out from where his head should be.

    He wiped off the blood and said, ¡°Do not worry, my metabolism is too high so it is shedding excess blood.¡±

    The middle-aged man looked at Zhao Yao¡¯s bloody face and was worried about him. On the other hand, Promise was hoping that the Headless Horseman kicked the bucket as soon as possible.

    Zhao Yao said to Sphynx cat, ¡°Put this woman and all the fallen apostles into the Extradimensional Belly. We are leaving.¡±

    Sphynx cat shoved Promise and the fallen apostles into the Dimension Portal.

    Zhao Yao smiled satisfactorily at the increasing experience points on the mission panel. He was very pleased with the reward as the supercats were able to upgrade to the next level.

    The middle-aged man said, ¡°Headless Horseman, you have saved the city. I am grateful to you.¡±

    ¡°It is a small matter.¡± Zhao Yao waved his hand and said, ¡°Report the situation to your superior. There are some apostles stationed outside. I am going to capture them.¡±

    Although there were only dozens of apostles left, they were still worth a few hundred experience points. Zhao Yao was going to reap all avable experience points.

    With Zhao Yao¡¯s bloody face and his trembling body, he looked as though he might copse any time from the poison attack. The middle-aged man was full of respect for Zhao Yao as he was going after the apostles even when he was in a critical condition. ¡°It is not necessary. You have helped us a lot. As for the loose ends, leave them to us. You better hurry over to the hospital.¡±

    ¡°Not necessary?¡± Zhao Yao red at the middle-aged man and said, ¡°I am telling you. I will capture them for sure.¡± After pondering for a while, Zhao Yao secretly told Elizabeth to control the middle-aged man and steal his cell phone to prevent him from contacting his superior. He didn¡¯t want the government apostles to capture the remaining insignificant enemies.

    The middle-aged man discovered his body was controlled and he said in shock, ¡°Headless Horseman, what are you doing?¡±

    Zhao Yao said with a strong sense of righteousness, ¡°Do not underestimate the remaining apostles. Whether they are Virtual Spirit-Body or the Dark Scorch, they are both dangerous superpowers. Leave the dangerous tasks to me.¡± He inhaled a gust of cold air and vomited blood.

    The middle-aged man looked astonished at Zhao Yao, his heart full of reverence for the hero as he said, ¡°I heard that the Headless Horseman was a big bully in Jianghai inspiring much hatred from both humans and supercats, a ruthless despot.

    They are false rumors. The Headless Horseman is actually a virtuous and self-sacrificing hero.¡±

    The middle-aged man said, ¡°No, I can¡¯t allow this hero to shed more tears and blood. You have done enough. Let me tie up the loose ends.¡±

    Zhao Yao gazed at him and he stared back.

    Looking at his serious face, Zhao Yao signaled to Elizabeth. The middle-aged man copsed to the ground after losing his five senses.

    ¡°Humph, thinking of robbing my experience points? You think too much.¡±

    Zhao Yao brought Catherine into the Extradimensional Belly and saw the three armies being imprisoned in three different sections.

    The apostles of the Dark Scorch Army were tied to steel columns and they knelt on the ground.

    On their right, the Virtual-Spirit apostles were unconscious and were thrown onto the ground haphazardly.

    To the right of the Virtual-Spirit apostles was Ark Army¡¯s Promise, who knelt on the ground, sizing up the Extradimensional Belly and Sphynx cat sprawling nearby.

    She looked in surprise at Rice Cake and Gaia, who were locked up in the prisoners¡¯ cage, at the hardworking supercats in the catmint farm and the supercats that were yingputer games and watching videos.

    ¡°The Headless Horseman possessed this many supercats? With the Dimension Portal superpower, he is able to bring all these supercats to battle at any time and location?¡± Promise contemted, ¡°He is usingputers andputer games to enve the supercats. That is why we can¡¯t defeat him.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the three armies and focused on Ark¡¯s Promise and Dark Scorch¡¯s ck Tiger. He shouted to them, ¡°Hey, where are your remaining apostles? Contact them.¡±

    Promise understood that he was using them to capture the remaining apostles. She pondered and said, ¡°What do you intend to do to us?¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at her and said, ¡°Once you have stayed here for 24 hours and lose all your superpowers, I will hand all of you to the police.¡±

    Promise said, ¡°Let¡¯s make a deal, you will release me and I hand over the Ark Army to you.¡±

    ck Tiger sneered and said, ¡°Promise, you are betraying your own people?¡±

    Promise spoke boldly, ¡°He who understands the times is a wise man. Headless Horseman is the most powerful apostle. It is not shameful if I submit to him...¡±

    She screamed as she was interrupted. Numerous human figures squirmed out from her back. They were apostles from the Ark Army that had integrated her body.

    They heard her words and were unwilling to surrender without a fight.

    They were subdued by Sphynx cat the moment they squirmed out of her body. They were tied with steel columns and made to kneel down on the ground. After which, they cursed and swore at Promise.

    Promise was indifferent, she spat out the remaining apostles and said to Zhao Yao, ¡°Headless Horseman, the apostles who integrated my body are all here. I can call the remaining apostles out and help you capture them as long as you release me.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Good, call them now and gather them together. I will release you.¡±

    Promise smiled and said, ¡°Do you think I am a fool? Release me first. I will ask them to exit. I have some savings in Ivory. If you release me, I will give you 30 million.¡±

    ¡°Uh?¡± Zhao Yao was suddenly enlightened as he thought, ¡°Yes, what¡¯s the use of defeating them if I do not empty them of their fortune? I almost forgot about extorting them. My bad, I am too careless.¡±

    Promise noticed that Zhao Yao had abruptly changed, his body emitting a terrifying aura and the surrounding air became heavier and almost suffocating.

    She was astonished and thought, ¡°This is the aura of a powerful apostle. I am able to feel the pressure of his every movement? I thought it was an urban myth. Now I have witnessed an actual person with this ability.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°30 million is not enough. I want all your money. Are the remaining apostles and supercats in your body?¡±

    ¡°Not possible.¡± Promise was stunned and wanted to retort. Zhao Yao shed and amputated his own hand. ¡°D*mn¡±

    He saw her gasp in ¡®pain¡¯ and said, ¡°If you don¡¯tply, I will amputate your hand next.¡±

    Seeing Zhao Yao amputate his own hand, Promise was dumbstruck. Zhao Yao picked up the amputated hand and put it back.

    The wound healed immediately and Promise thought, ¡°Ultra Rapid Regeneration? That is why the poison is ineffective against him. So he had this ability all along? The King of Death didn¡¯t inform us? Or he was in the dark too?¡±

    Zhao Yao did not show any signs of pain and Promise thought, ¡°Doesn¡¯t he feel pain?¡± Ultra Rapid Regeneration was rare, however, Lucifer was not the only cat to have such ability. Promise had heard of such an ability before, however, she had never heard of anyone amputating themselves for fun using this ability.

    Promise shook her head. ¡°He is a lunatic but doesn¡¯t he feel pain...¡±

    Zhao Yao gazed at Promise and ck Tiger and said, ¡°Are the two of you apostles? If you do not cooperate, I will lend you the Ultra Rapid Regeneration ability and cut off your hands and legs for fun.¡±

    Two of them trembled. Even with Ultra Rapid Regeneration, they did not possess the mental strength and the willpower to go through amputations of their body parts.

    While they were hesitating, the men behind them already volunteered to help Zhao Yao.

    ck Tiger and Promise finally yielded and agreed to help Zhao Yao capture the remaining apostles and give him both money and cats.

    Promise spat out a domestic tabby who trembled while looking at Zhao Yao. He was the supercat that possessed the Ark superpower. Roly Poly grabbed him immediately to one side for a chat.

    ck Tiger and Promise made phone calls and transferred money to Zhao Yao, who collected a handsome sum, captured the remaining apostles, and gained the experience points.

    After the hectic work, it was alreadyte at night.

    Zhao Yaoidfortably on the sofa of the Extradimensional Belly. His face showed contentment as he cuddled Lucifer and stared at the Mission Panel.

    The two Ivory missions werepleted. He captured 1042 apostles, each worth 10 experience points. Hence he obtained a total of 10 420 experience points.

    As for protecting themoners and avoiding eye witnesses, Zhao Yao already tried his best. However, during the hotel battle, especially the battle between Sphynx cat and Promise, the building was damaged and threemoners were injured hence 15 experience points were deducted and he received a total of 9970 experience points.

    The grand total was 30 810 experience points, thergest haul so far.

    ¡°The supercats are able to advance their levels. I have to consider carefully which supercat to upgrade.¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin and his cell phone rang. He received a message from Uncle Ho asking him if he had sent the apostles to the police station.

    Zhao Yao didn¡¯t release any of the apostles of the three armies. After emptying them of 1 billion dors, he erased their memories before sending them to the police station.

    Because the supercat responsible for the superpower of the Virtual-Spirit Army was not found, Zhao Yao had to wait 24 hours before sending them to the police station.

    The Ivory missions were a bumper harvest in terms of money, cats, and experience points.

    ¡°I have yet to deal with King of Death.¡± Zhao Yao thought, ¡°I have to discuss with him.¡±

    As he was contemting, Roly Poly, Elizabeth, Dust Ball, and Matcha had surrounded him, looking at him in anticipation.

    Roly Poly thought, ¡°I hope he hasn¡¯t forgotten about the rewards? I have done a lot today.¡±

    Elizabeth thought, ¡°I have aplished great feats today. Why hasn¡¯t Zhao Yaomended me?¡±

    Dust Ball thought, ¡°Humph, a bunch of useless cats. Without my Dimension Portal, all of you would be dead.¡±

    Sphynx cat nced at Zhao Yao from afar as he thought, ¡°Well, my issue, Zhao Yao is unable to solve it too...¡±

    Milk Tea was behind Matcha as he looked eagerly at Zhao Yao. He was puzzled and asked Matcha, ¡°Brother Matcha, what are we doing?¡±

    Matcha replied, ¡°We are asking for rewards. Didn¡¯t you see that we just won a battle? How can there be no rewards after winning? Zhao Yao has to give out money and presents.¡±

    Milk Tea said bewilderedly, ¡°But we didn¡¯t do anything.¡±

    Matcha said in the tone of an experienced hand, ¡°You are very young Milk Tea. Who set the rule that you can¡¯t get money without any work? You will get money whether you work or not. This is called fairness.¡±

    Milk Tea asked befuddled, ¡°Really?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± Matcha said seriously, ¡°This technique is called the kitten that meows gets to eat the canned food. If you ask with initiative, humans will give things to you. This is my hard-earned experience over the past three years. You have to remember it.¡±

    Milk Tea nodded earnestly. ¡°I will remember, Brother Matcha.¡± He opened his eyes widely and fixed his gaze on Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao looked at the supercats and smiled as he said, ¡°Everyone¡¯s performance was very good. It was tough on you. Bai Quan, are you ready?¡±

    Bai Quan served arge te of beef steak, salmon, fish roe, and other delicacies. The supercats looked at the food and drooled.

    ¡°Everyone, enjoy to your heart¡¯s content. And you Roly Poly.¡± Zhao Yao took out a fried chicken drumstick and cut a small piece for Roly Poly. ¡°I will let you taste a bit of fried chicken. I will reward you with some moneyter.¡±

    Roly Poly held the fried chicken piece in his hands. He was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes.

    Elizabeth was on the side, thinking, ¡°This fried chicken... looks like an illusion...¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Elizabeth and said, ¡°Elizabeth, you have worked hard today. You are a powerful and beautiful cat.¡± He stroked Elizabeth¡¯s head and said, ¡°I will reward you with moneyter.¡±

    Elizabeth pushed out her chest proudly and curled her tail high up with pride.

    While Dust Ball was feeling perplexed, Zhao Yao caressed her head and said, ¡°Dust Ball, you have aplished great feats today, excellent. Bai Quan will get you some catmint ice creamter.¡±

    Dust Ball licked her lips happily as Zhao Yao looked at Catherine and said, ¡°Catherine, you have done well too, tell me what present you wantter.¡±

    Matcha was getting impatient as everyone had their rewards except him. He curled up his tail and rubbed Zhao Yao¡¯s legs.

    Zhao Yao kicked him aside and said, ¡°Don¡¯t rub. These are a new pair of pants. You have dirtied them with cat fur.¡±

    Matcha meowed to show his grievances. He said in private, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, what about me? I worked hard to encourage everyone.¡±

    Zhao Yao hesitated for a while and cuddled Matcha¡¯s head. ¡°Tonight, you may sleep on my pillow.¡±

    Matcha curled up his front paws while sprawled on the pillow with his face full of grievances.

    ¡°Disgusting, everyone was rewarded with food and money and my reward was to sleep on this pillow.¡±

    Seeing the snoring Zhao Yao, Matcha ced his paw on his head and flicked out his sharp ws. ¡°Humph, if I use my strength now, I will be able to kill Zhao Yao and dominate the Cat Nation.¡±

    Laying his ws on Zhao Yao¡¯s head, Matcha shook his head and retracted his ws. ¡°Forget it. I will let you off today.¡±

    Within a short while, Matcha tossed on the pillow, his four limbs holding onto Zhao Yao¡¯s head and snoring loudly.

    The next day, Zhao Yao opened his eyes, found Matcha all over his head and tossed him out. Matcha meowed and stood up with a face of sorrow gazing at him.

    Zhao Yao stroked his head and said angrily, ¡°Now I know the reason why I had nightmares of my head being hammered.¡± He got up while yawning and remembered his to-do-list¡ªfind the King of Death and deal with the Ivory issue.

    He brushed his teeth while thinking, ¡°The best scenario is that the King of Death disbands what is left of Ivory and dissociates himself from all the puppets. Although he has turned over a new leaf, it is still difficult for him to give himself up. Moreover, with the disassociation from the puppets, he will not be subjected to the effects of illusion. Will he revert to his old ways?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought very hard but could note up with a perfect solution. As the King of Death was associated with hundreds of thousands of people, Zhao Yao¡¯s various tactics were not feasible. If he identally destroyed their awareness, the consequences would be irreversible.

    Zhao Yao shook his head. ¡°Ivory ispletely destroyed and the King of Death should realize by now that he is no match for me. If he is not willing toply, I will have to destroy him. Time is on our side. Even if he raises another army, he is still no match for me.¡±

    After making a decision, Zhao Yao looked for the King of Death but discovered that the building was already vacant. He and his men were nowhere to be found.

    While Zhao Yao was feeling surprised, Uncle Ho called and he told him that Ivory waspletely disbanded. The Iron Army was handed over to the government and the King of Death¡¯s assets were surrendered to the country. After disassociation with all the puppets, the King of Death disappeared without a trace.

    For the next few days, Uncle Ho and his men were busy tying up the loose ends of Ivory. More than a few hundreds of thousands ofmoners were controlled by the King of Death for about two years. Within the next few days, it made shocking headlines in the major newspapers of the world.

    There were a lot of loose ends to tie up, including management of public opinion. The Iron Army was a ticking time bomb. Although the King of Death had provided all information, arge number of workers were required to understand the information and retrieve all resources of the Iron Army.

    However, Zhao Yao was not concerned with all of this. He returned happily to Jianghai and resumed his carefree and decadent days.

    ...

    In the state of Maine in United States.

    In aboratory, an apostle yelled loudly. His body hair grew rapidly. In a blink of an eye, his entire body was covered in thickyers of hair, looking like a Yeti.

    The Professor looked at the apostle and asked in astonishment, ¡°Has he grown stronger? How much of improvement is that whenpared to existing data?¡±

    The assistant said, ¡°The length has grown by 30%, the speed by 15%. The amount increased by at most 125%. This is incredible. ording to normal standards, the superpower to control fur growth is only able to achieve the same results after three years of daily activation.¡±

    The Professor¡¯s breath quickened as he said, ¡°Repeat the experiment one more time and activate all the monitoring equipment.¡± It was too incredible that the apostle¡¯s superpower could be boosted to such level within a short period of time.

    If there was that much boosting of the superpower to control fur growth, what would the effect be on Robot Fusion, Gravitation Control, Rapid Regeneration, Super Strength, Super Speed, and other superpowers?

    ¡°If we can understand the cause... No, there is no need to research the cause. If we are able to lend Project X¡¯s superpower to the apostles in the Army, their fighting capability will be boosted by many times.¡±

    The Professor¡¯s eyes glinted. The value of Project X was far greater than what he had imagined.

    A few hourster, the Professor studied the report of the experiment results and looked at Project X, his gaze bing more insightful.

    Any apostles within a three meter range of Project X would have their superpowers boosted significantly.

    ¡°Just like a domain.¡± The Professor shook his head, walked to the single-sided ss, and observed Project X who was reading a book.

    During the entire experiment process, Project X was sitting on the table reading theic book. There were no signs of activation of a superpower.

    The Professor asked, ¡°Is there any energy consumption?¡±

    ¡°ording to the body statistics, there are no abnormal changes.¡± The assistant said, ¡°His ability is like a constant passive effect.¡±

    Project X closed hisic book and asked, ¡°Hey? Can you send in a new batch of books? I have read through these books many times.¡±

    ¡°Uh? Really?¡± The Professor walked up and conversed with Project X, ¡°What do you want to read?¡± He received from the assistant a copy of the psychological profile report, which waspiled by a few psychologists who studied his data and condition.

    The Professor scanned through the report that said: ¡°... Simple and mild mannered... Curious about the outside world... Harmless...¡±

    Project X said, ¡°Any books will do. It¡¯s better if they are wordy so they will take me longer to read.¡±

    The Professor nodded, shut off the microphone and said to the assistant, ¡°Send him some fantasy novels.¡± After pondering, he could not resist asking, ¡°Project X, are you able to boost the abilities of supercats?¡±

    Project X casually nodded as he flipped open aic book. He said calmly, ¡°Yes, of course and the effect is even better. The boosted superpowers can be lent as per usual.¡±

    ¡°Wait, what did you say?¡± The Professor eximed, ¡°You are able to boost supercats¡¯ superpowers before they lend them?¡±

    Project X lowered his head and shielded his face with theic book revealing a hidden smile. He spoke in a serene tone, ¡°Yes, that is so.¡± He lifted his head and looked nkly at the Professor, ¡°Why? Is there a problem?¡±

    After the Ivory incident came to an end, Zhao Yao returned to Jianghai.

    The most anticipated event for that night were the experience points and skills upgrade.

    ¡°Matcha and Elizabeth require too many experience points to upgrade so they are out of consideration. As for the remaining...¡± Looking at the mission panel, Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Dust Ball, Ares, Lucifer, and Sphynx cat are able to advance to the next level. Who shall I award with experience points?¡±

    Lucifer and Sphynx cat were recently upgraded so a more powerful regeneration and training speed were not required.

    Zhao Yao calcted the requirements for upgrading Dust Ball and Ares. He was very pleased. ¡°Just enough for Dust Ball and Ares to advance to the next level.¡±

    Zhao Yao waved his hand and upgraded Dust Ball and Ares. The panel showed:

    BOOK: Level 6 (21107/20000).

    Dust Ball: Level 9(0/100000)

    Ares: Level 8 (0/50000)

    Dust Ball attained level 9 and the Extradimensional Belly expanded by 100 square meters. Zhao Yao essed the ability tree and saw two new skills.

    Intermediate Dimension Portal: The number of Dimension Portals is increased to five.

    Air purification: The air in the Extradimensional Belly will undergo self-purification.

    Zhao Yao understood that the Dimension Portals were for improving transportation outside the Extradimensional Belly while the air purification was beneficial for the future development of the Extradimensional Belly.

    He felt that the current number of Dimension Portals was not enough. Moreover, the greater number of Dimension Portals would help in air cirction. After consideration, he selected Intermediate Dimension Portals and Dust Ball effectively controlled five Dimension Portals.

    Zhao Yao nodded in satisfaction and looked at Ares.

    After Ares attained level 8, the radius of the Deflective Field increased to 40 meters and there were two avable skills for selection.

    Frost touch: The Deflective Field could lower its internal temperature to -60¡ãC.

    Toughness upgrade: Increase the toughness of the Deflective Field.

    Zhao Yao was interested in the Frost touch. Previously, the Deflective Field had freezing effects but it was too weak and was simr to a fridge so he did not use it much.

    The lowering of temperature to -60¡ãC was useful especially whenbined with the invisible field radius of 40 meters. It created more attack options for Zhao Yao.

    With the continual strengthening of the Sphynx cat, Ares¡¯ Deflective Field was no longer the main physical attack option. Ares could provide an alternative attack option with the frost effect.

    In the normal mode of Frost Touch, the temperature was -60¡ãC. If a Power Up Card was used, how much would the temperature be? When normal modes of attack were ineffective, this could be an effective trump card.

    Zhao Yao decided on Frost Touch.

    He waved his hand and brought a cup of water in front of him via the Deflective Field. With concentration, he made the water¡¯s temperature drop rapidly and transformed it into ice that emitted white gas.

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought, ¡°I do not need to use the air conditioning during the summer...¡±

    Without the threat of Ivory, Zhao Yao resumed his carefree life.

    ...

    Two weekster.

    In front of the original cat caf¨¦, numerous balloons flew into the sky as a celebration. The Millionaire¡¯s Cat Wondend was officially open for business.

    Thanks to Uncle Ho¡¯s rmendation of the renovation team, the apostles with various superpowers took only two weeks to renovate 40% of the shopping mall. The Cat Wondendpleted the first phase of the renovation on schedule. Zhao Yao wanted to start business as soon as possible so that he could earn more experience points at the end of the month.

    The front of the Cat Wondend was decorated with numerous floral baskets sent by government officials and business owners.

    Bai Quan stood at the entrance to receive the well-wishing guests.

    Zhao Xue walked to the entrance and asked curiously, ¡°Is this a nightclub? Where is my brother?¡±

    ¡°We are an aboveboard wondend for cuddling cats.¡± Bai Quan said, ¡°I think Boss is already inside.¡±

    Xiao Ming and ck Panther approached and cupped their hands to congratte Bai Quan. ¡°Congrattions! Wishing you prosperity and great profits for your business!¡±

    Xiao Ming thought, ¡°I haven¡¯t tasted meat for a week. Today I get to enjoy it.¡±

    They entered the main hall and saw a crystal showcase that was asrge as a basketball court. Inside were a myriad of cats that were more than a hundred.

    Bai Quan was at the side exining, ¡°Everyone may choose a cat to y with. The ones with a blue tags cost 50 dors, the red tags cost 200 dors and the golden tags cost 500 dors. After payment, the cat will follow you. Our business hours are from 1pm to 1am and you are allowed to cuddle, carry and y to your heart¡¯s content until you exit the premises.¡±

    Looking at the cats pose seductively, they gaped in astonishment.

    Zhao Xue covered her face and whispered, ¡°Bai Quan? Are these supercats?¡±

    Bai Quan shook his head and whispered to Zhao Xue, ¡°The ones with blue tags are farm cats, the ones with red tags are cats of different breeds. They had been properly taught by Elizabeth using her illusions so they are lovable, obedient and will follow the guests. The ones with the golden tags are supercats who wanted to earn a living.¡±

    In the crystal showcase, Fish Ball, who was wearing a golden tag, tapped on the ground and meowed at Zhao Xue, ¡°Choose me! Quickly choose me!¡±

    Zhao Xue looked at the waving Fish Ball and rubbed her forehead as she asked, ¡°Is this ce illegal?¡±

    Bai Quan smiled as he replied, ¡°How can ying with cats be illegal?¡±

    Zhao Xue looked at a big sized animal in the showcase and asked, ¡°What¡¯s that?¡±

    Bai Quan gazed at the tail wagging and innocent looking Husky and said, ¡°ying with dogs is not illegal either.¡±

    Xiao Ming asked shyly, ¡°Do I have to choose a cat?¡±

    Realizing Xiao Ming¡¯s embarrassment, Bai Quan said, ¡°You may enter to enjoy after purchasing a ticket. Choosing a cat for ying is additional paid service. This is the first day of business so tickets are not required and you can enter directly.¡±

    Bai Quan returned to the entrance to receive another guest. Xiao Shiyu brought Zhao Xue, who had chosen her cat, into the deep end of the Cat Wondend.

    The chosen cats followed behind the guests obediently and asionally rubbed the guests¡¯ legs. They would y with the guests until the end of work time.

    Zhao Xue looked at the location map and brought her cat to the 7D cinema. She thought, ¡°7D cinema? Sounds like a cinema for pirated films. Only three show times per day? Now is the time for the first show.¡± She entered the cinema and discovered that all the seats were vacant. She chose a seat and settled down. The cat jumped onto her knees and settled in her arms, snoring peacefully.

    Just as Zhao Xue sat down, the cinema became dark. She found herself in a boundless sky full of stars and she fell from the sky like aet, plummeting to the ground below.

    The ears of Zhao Xue quivered. After improving her hearing perception, she discovered abnormalities, however, she smiled and continued to indulge in this rare experience.

    Elizabeth yawned as she sprawled at the back of the cinema. Looking at Zhao Xue in the surveince monitor, she continued her projection of the illusions.

    Unlike Zhao Xue, who was in the 7D cinema, Xiao Ming and ck Panther walked one round and finally proceeded to the buffet restaurant.

    It was the first day of business so almost everything was free. Xiao Ming and ck Panther were famished as they had not had any breakfast. They intended to binge at the opening of Cat Wondend.

    Two of them walked into the restaurant in old tattered clothes and were received by a waiter. All the waiters were employed by Uncle Ho and rted to the government.

    The opening of the Cat Wondend was due to Zhao Yao¡¯s influence and the support of the government. With the development and greater awareness of the supercats and apostles, the government was trying to increase the tolerance of the public with regards to supercats news.

    The Cat Wondend and the various services provided by the supercats were a litmus test for the country and they provided a good opportunity to release supercat news.

    Xiao Ming looked at the waiter and asked shyly, ¡°Is the buffet restaurant open for business?¡±

    The waiter did not treat Xiao Ming differently because of his old clothes and embarrassed expression, instead he smiled courteously and replied, ¡°The restaurant is open, a table for two? Pleasee in.¡±

    Xiao Ming pulled ck Panther into the restaurant and settled down. After surveying the environment, he said, ¡°Do you know the tactics involved in a buffet meal?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± ck Panther nodded and smiled confidently as he said, ¡°First consume the fruits, then the seafood, starting from raw then moving onto cooked, from cold food to warm. Thest bit is dessert.¡±

    Xiao Ming nodded and said seriously, ¡°Today¡¯s battle is very important as it determines how much expenses we can save for this week. The more we save, the faster we can set up our next business. Once we are sessful, we can eat whatever we like.¡±

    ¡°All the best!¡±

    ¡°All the best!¡±

    As they were about to attack the food, they saw a few cats binging behind a partition on the side. There was a lot of fresh fish fillet, pork, beef and various vegetables and fruits on the table.

    ¡°Cats are invited too?¡± Xiao Ming asked in surprise.

    The waiter at the side exined, ¡°Those cats opposite are in the cat section, guests are able to have their meals with their chosen cats and enjoy their time together. There are also cat owners who brought their own cats for a meal.¡±

    The white cat that Xiao Ming was gazing at lifted his head and showed him his middle finger.

    Xiao Ming said, ¡°That is a supercat, isn¡¯t it? He must be a supercat.¡± He thought, ¡°In the Cat Wondend, are supercats customers too?¡± He suddenly had the gut feeling that underneath the morous facade of the Cat Wondend were dark hidden secrets.

    Xiao Ming shook his head and disregarded his gut feeling. It was far more important to grab as many tes of food as possible.

    Xiao Ming arrived at the buffet table and nodded at the wide variety of delicacies. He was dumbfounded when he looked at the transparent kitchen and saw Zhao Yao in a chef costume stir frying with arge wok.

    ck Panther was astonished and asked, ¡°Mentor, why are you cooking here?¡±

    Zhao Yao turned his head and smiled at both of them. ¡°Don¡¯t you know that I have the most amazing culinary skills in the world? I am happy to inform that you are in luck to be able to taste my delicacies.¡±

    Xiao Ming and ck Panther looked at each other and resisted touching the delicacies. Instead, they attacked the fruits followed by the seafood.

    Xiao Ming held a te and took a few catties of salmon. After a bite, his eyes popped out.

    ¡°The fresh taste, the rich fragrantyering and the thick sauce! Even the mustard is extraordinary!¡± Xiao Ming was pleasantly surprised. ¡°How did they make such delicious salmon?¡±

    ck Panther took a piece of salmon and was moved to tears. ¡°I have never tasted such delicious salmon! Why is this salmon so delicious?¡±

    ¡°We made the right decisioning here!¡± Xiao Ming¡¯s eyes glowed and they chowed down the salmon happily.

    The following seafood and cooked delicacies brought more pleasant surprises for them. Xiao Ming had tried many delicacies before, however,pared to Zhao Yao¡¯s exquisite dishes, the difference in taste was like Heaven and Earth.

    Xiao Ming rarely took fried rice, however, he scooped adle of fried rice and was astonished. ¡°Even an ordinary egg fried rice can be so tasty! The feeling is like tasting sea cucumber and abalone, how did they do that?¡±

    ¡°Incredible, these delicacies are too incredible.¡± Xiao Ming covered his cheeks as he was very touched. ¡°I have eaten so much but I don¡¯t feel satiated at all. Is it because the food is so delicious that my body has forgotten the feeling of satiation and wanted to take as much as possible?¡±

    ¡°Of course not.¡± Zhao Yao smiled after listening to Xiao Ming¡¯s words and thought, ¡°How can I serve you the real stuff when it is a free buffet?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the empty tes in reality and thought, ¡°By using illusion to create delicacies, I saved money andbor cost. There are no food safety issues and the customers do not put on weight. I am such a genius for killing three birds with one stone. Incorrect, the food created in the illusion is based on my personal experience of super tasty delicacies, hence that is killing four birds with one stone.¡±

    Previously Old Man Zhuang engaged top chefs daily to create delicacies for Zhao Yao to taste. After numerous meals, Zhao Yao¡¯s taste buds had attained superior standard hence he had be a master chef in the illusion world.

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought, ¡°It will be a waste of my talent to stay here and cook up a storm.¡±

    Xiao Ming and ck Panther binged for more than two hours but did not feel satiated at all.

    Xiao Ming thought, ¡°This is loathsome, why am I not full? I have nned to eat my fill that willst for the next two days. Why am I not satiated?¡±

    ck Panther thought, ¡°... Why am I feeling hungrier and hungrier? The food is too incredible. These are the delicacies of the devil!¡±

    While superpowers and cats were used to entertain the guests and provide a unique enjoyable experience, the underground Cat Wondend was equally bustling with activities.

    The ground underneath the Cat Wondend was connected to a clean culvert. Many supercats from the Jianghai city strolled along the culvert into Cat Wondend.

    At the exit of the culvert was a shiny golden door illuminated by huge neon lights. The door opened and Matcha, who was adorned with a big hat and a nice bow tie, stood at the entrance and weed his friends and guests.

    ¡°President Green! You have arrived! Wee, wee!¡±

    ¡°CEO Blue, it has been a long time since we met! Come in quickly. I have reserved a good seat for you!¡±

    ¡°Chairman Green... how can I forget you? I had prepared the best delicacies for you. Come in and enjoy.¡±

    Matcha was happily receiving guests at the Cat Wondend entrance. He could earnmissions from those invited guests.

    ¡°It¡¯s a pity Fish Ball and Noodle came here to work instead of spending. I have wasted all my efforts convincing them.¡± Matcha spat out his saliva when he thought about them. He scolded them in his thoughts. ¡°The two miserly paupers.¡±

    Roly Poly came up and greeted arge orange cat while Matcha was lost in his thoughts. Roly Poly smiled and said, ¡°Brother Fur, what brings you here? Pleasee in,e in!¡± He shouted to the interior of the wondend, ¡°Caesar, why are you standing there? Help usher in the VIP.¡±

    The Ragdoll cat Caesar came forward, smiled at Brother Fur and said, ¡°Brother Fur, pleasee in!¡±

    This orange cat, Brother Fur, was the Cao Gang¡¯s actual leader. He looked almost like Matcha, who impersonated him and drained the Mao Gang of their money.

    Matcha looked at Brother Fur and trembled in fear. Noticing more than ten supercats behind Brother Fur, he turned his head away in terror and thought, ¡°Don¡¯t recognize me... don¡¯t recognize me... don¡¯t recognize me...¡±

    The floret cat behind Brother Fur was walking past Matcha when he looked puzzled and said, ¡°Hey boy, turn your head over here.¡± He felt that Matcha was someone familiar.

    Matcha lowered his voice and said, ¡°My face is full of a skin infection and looks horrible.¡±

    ¡°Skin infection? Let me see.¡± The floret cat walked up to examine Matcha¡¯s face.

    Matcha¡¯s head was dripping cold sweat and he thought, ¡°What shall I do? What shall I do?¡±

    The floret cat turned over Matcha¡¯s face and retreated back in shock. ¡°What are you up to?¡±

    Matcha¡¯s face was covered with arge pile of white fur and looked like a total mess.

    The floret cat nced a few times at Matcha, shook his head and left.

    Roly Poly eximed in shock as he stroked his buttocks. ¡°Who is the viin who plucked my fur?¡±

    Matcha watched Brother Fur and his gang walk deep into the Cat Wondend and heaved in relief. He removed the white fur that he had plucked from Roly Poly during the Time Freeze and said, ¡°D*mn, today is the first day of business, I do not wish to create trouble so I let them off.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s eyes brightened when he saw the serval cat from the zoo. She was one of his contacted guests.

    Matcha walked towards the serval cat and greeted, ¡°Dainty! You have arrived!¡±

    Dainty nodded, looked nervously at the shiny golden door, and said, ¡°Brother Matcha, what is this ce about?¡±

    ¡°Cat Wondend, a ce for cats to enjoy. Come in quickly. There is lots of food and entertainment. I am sure you will be pleased.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Dainty nodded, her eyes showing hesitation and shyness. She would like Matcha to apany her but was too embarrassed to ask.

    Milk Tea came out of nowhere and pounced on Matcha¡¯s back. He said with a merry face, ¡°Brother Matcha, when are you getting off? Let¡¯s y together!¡±

    ¡°Knock it off, I am busy today. Go and y by yourself.¡±

    Dainty looked surprised at Milk Tea and Matcha and thought, ¡°That face! They look almost alike! Are they blood-rted? They must be blood-rted!¡± She asked timidly, ¡°Brother Matcha, who is this?¡±

    ¡°My distant cousin Milk Tea from the rural areas, a country bumpkin.¡±

    Dainty looked curiously at Milk Tea and said, ¡°Milk Tea, you are adorable.¡±

    Milk Tea looked warily at Dainty and hid behind Matcha. He could not resist sticking his head out to observe Dainty and said privately to Matcha, ¡°Brother Matcha, shall I ask her for money?¡±

    Matcha was embarrassed and said privately to Milk Tea, ¡°No, no, do not ask money from guests who just arrived. Wait for them to enjoy themselves first.¡±

    Milk Tea nodded earnestly and said, ¡°I understand, Brother Matcha.¡±

    Matcha patted Dainty¡¯s shoulders and said, ¡°Go in quickly Dainty. It is very fun inside.¡±

    Dainty would have liked to chat with Matcha but he was already receiving other guests. She sighed dejectedly and entered the Cat Wondend.

    A bustling and lively atmosphere pervaded the entire Cat Wondend. The difference with the underground Cat Wondend was that Zhao Yao had made use of the Headless Horseman identity to promote to the supercats that the first day of business was free of charge. Hence, numerous supercats took the opportunity to take advantage of the Headless Horseman.

    Dainty saw a sea of cats surrounding a huge arena when she entered. There were two cats fighting on the arena while cats below were cursing, shouting, and smoking catmint with their paws.

    This was the Millionaire¡¯s Cat Wondend underground Cat Fight. All the supercats could make their bets while watching the tournament.

    On the arena, Sphynx cat surveyed the surrounding sea of wild cats and sneered at his opponent.

    Catmint was provided free to the spectators in the spectator stand. With the stimtion of the catmint, the supercats became even more hysterical.

    There were supercats who stayed on the catmint tabletop, smoking catmint while cursing, ¡°Idiot! I will smoke all the catmint till you are broke!¡± These were obviously supercats who were bullied by Zhao Yao.

    Dainty was not interesting in betting and cat fighting so she went downstairs to the second level of the underground Cat Wondend. Her nose was stung by the catmint dust that pervaded the air. It was so thick that the dust was noticeable by naked eyes.

    Dainty looked up and discovered the entire space popted by cat dwellings, kitty towers and lounge chairs. On them were various supercats who looked high from smoking catmint.

    She did not like catmint and held her breath while she ventured one level down.

    At the stairway, Cheese, who came to Cat Wondend as a security guard, fixed his gaze on Dainty and thought, ¡°D*mn, what kind of a cat is that? Never seen her before.¡±

    Because of the opening of Cat Wondend, Zhao Yao deployed a number of cats as security guards for the six sections. Though his fame was a deterrent against crimes, he had to be prepared for impulsive crimes.

    Uncle Ho was in charge of the security for the surface level of Cat Wondend so nobody dared create trouble.

    Dainty walked past various inte bars,puter games area, and massage section where supercats could enjoy themselves.

    Although there were many supercats in Jianghai and a Cat Street avable, such a huge and legal entertainmentplex like the Millionaire¡¯s Cat Wondend was not avable. With the powerful Headless Horseman watching over the wondend, no cats dared to create trouble.

    Dainty did not understand the reason but she felt that the Cat Wondend would be livelier and be the main venue for supercats to eat, y, and meet.

    That night, in the Extradimensional Belly, a chafing dish was ced on the table as Zhao Yao raised his mug of beer and said, ¡°Everyone, it was hard on you today! The future of the Cat Wondend will depend on your hard work, let me give everyone a toast.¡±

    The cats were distracted as they pped their hands. Their eyes were glued on the meat pieces boiling in the chafing dish.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Next, I am going to say two words...¡±

    As Zhao Yao was speaking, all the cats sighed. Although they looked like they were listening attentively, they were all chatting telepathically.

    Matcha: ¡°Aye, he said he would speak a few sentences. One sentence takes 30 minutes.¡±

    Roly Poly: ¡°Don¡¯t speak badly about boss! Boss¡¯s words are elegant and meaningful. They are all words of wisdom. It is our honor that he is willing to share with us.¡±

    Dust Ball replied calmly, ¡°Suck up.¡±

    The husky lifted his head. ¡°What?¡±

    Dust Ball rolled her eyes. ¡°Why is a dog among us?¡±

    The husky shouted, ¡°I was invited by your boss to help out. Do you know how many customers asked for me?¡±

    Fish Ball: ¡°They must be blind.¡±

    Noodle sneered, ¡°Fish Ball, how many customers did you have today?¡±

    Fish Ball: ¡°Do you think that the money you earned is yours? I have told Xiaoyu about it and send her a photo of you entertaining the customers.¡±

    Noodle: ¡°Huh!¡±

    Milk Tea was curious. ¡°Brother Matcha, what is entertaining customers?¡±

    Matcha answered, ¡°Oh, entertaining customers is ..¡±

    Elizabeth stopped them.¡±Matcha, don¡¯t teach Milk Tea these kind of things! Don¡¯t let Milk Tea listen to the adults talk.¡±

    Rice Cake: ¡°Haha, stupid Milk Tea, now you are kicked out.¡±

    Elizabeth: ¡°Kick Rice Cake out too.¡±

    Rice Cake: ¡°What?¡±

    After a while, Zhao Yao said, ¡°... Okay, I shall end my speech today. Are they any questions?¡±

    All the cats fell silent and looked at Zhao Yao quietly without any questions.

    ¡°If no cat has any questions...¡±

    Just when all the cats thought that Zhao Yao was done with his speech and they could go and eat, someone raised their paws and stood up.

    Roly Poly stood up and asked, ¡°Boss, can I ask something? How should we develop the supercats services to correspond with the societal trends today?¡±

    ¡°Roly Poly asked a good question.¡± Zhao Yao answered, ¡°Regarding the issue on how to use powers to benefit society and generate more economic benefits, I am quite experienced in this. I shall use the next two to three minutes to exin it to you...¡±

    ¡°Aye...¡± There were sighs in the private chat again.

    Matcha: ¡°Roly Poly, you idiot. Does it hurt if you stop ttering him?¡±

    Uncle Egg: ¡°Matcha! What are you implying? You want to fight with the Royal Cat Police Force?¡±

    Matcha sneered, ¡°A bunch of bootlickers.¡±

    Elizabeth: ¡°Stop fighting. You guys are distracting me from watching my video.¡±

    Cannon: ¡°Does anyone have money to lend me?¡±

    Dust Ball: ¡°Weren¡¯t you just given bonus from the catmint?¡±

    Cannonughed awkwardly. ¡°I bought too many snacks.¡±

    Cheese: ¡°Don¡¯t lend him anything. I saw him gambling today. He must have lost all of it.¡±

    Cannon was angered. ¡°Who knows that Sphynx cat would lose on purpose! Is it my fault?¡±

    When Zhao Yao was speaking, all the cats were chatting under the stage. This carried on for 10 minutes and Zhao Yao said, ¡°Okay, I shall stop exnation here. Who else...¡±

    Roly Poly felt his body tighten and Ares¡¯s voice sounded in his mind. ¡°If you ask another question, I will kill you.¡±

    Zhao Yao was disappointed. ¡°None of you want to ask any questions? Roly Poly? Do you still have any questions?¡± When he saw Roly Poly shake his head vigorously, Zhao Yao sighed, ¡°All of you are so reluctant to learn. Okay, I shall end it here. Let¡¯s start eating.¡±

    All the cats pped enthusiastically and started to dine on the meat in the pot.

    Zhao Yao looked at this scene and was thinking blissfully to himself. ¡°The sales will definitely go up and when ites to the monthly settlements, there will be an increase in cash and experience points.¡±

    Late at night, Zhao Yao was sound asleep. Matcha was lying on his pillow and hugging Zhao Yao¡¯s head while he snored.

    Milk Tea was hugging Matcha¡¯s tail and sleeping soundly. He would smack his mouth and lick Matcha¡¯s tail once in a while.

    In this quiet night, there was a voice from in Zhao Yao¡¯s head.

    ¡°Headless Horseman...¡±

    ¡°We need you...¡±

    ¡°In the far east...¡±

    ¡°There is a ghastly evil approaching...¡±

    Zhao Yao opened his eyes and shouted in fury. ¡°Too noisy!¡±

    The voice continued. ¡°But a ghastly evil is...¡±

    ¡°You are so annoying!¡± Zhao Yao yelled, ¡°You annoy me again and I will catch you and peel your skin off.¡±

    ¡°This concerns the safety of the world...¡±

    ¡°Still?¡± Zhao Yao red and activated the Deflective Field to surround his bed. ¡°Is it the middle of the night, don¡¯t you need to sleep?¡±

    The voice looked at Zhao Yao who was in the Deflective Field in exasperation. ¡°You.. you are...¡± After seeing that Zhao Yao could not hear him, he sighed and disappeared.

    ...

    Meanwhile, when Zhao Yao¡¯s Big Fortune Cat City was in full swing and business was getting better.

    In a city in the South, two official apostles were walking on the streets.

    They looked at the deserted streets and dark buildings. One of them said, ¡°What is going on? Why does it look so deserted?¡±

    The other girl said, ¡°Is there any news from Old Jia?¡±

    The guy looked at his phone and shook his head. ¡°No, they haven¡¯t been in contact for 12 hours already. Something is not right.¡±

    The two of them walked on the streets carefully and everywhere they went looked deserted. All the buildings were pitch ck. No lights were seen. The building were at the sides of the road standing there like a patch of dark woods or a cliff. It made them feel very uneasy.

    ¡°This is unusual. This is too unusual.¡±

    ¡°Why is there no one?¡±

    On this pitch ck and silent street, a shriek sounded and the two apostles rushed towards the origin of the sound immediately.

    At where the shriek sounded, a human figure could be made out under the flickering dim lights. He seemed to be squatting there.

    The guy apostle pulled out his torch and shone towards the figure. A guy was back facing them while he squat on the floor.

    The guy apostle shouted, ¡°Are you okay?¡±

    The girl apostle shouted, ¡°We are police, do you need help?¡±

    The figure remain stationary as if he were dead.

    The apostles looked at each other and felt that something was amiss. They pulled out their guns and walked slowly towards the guy.

    The girl apostle pointed the gun at the guy squatting while the guy apostles walked in front to see what the guy was doing.

    The girl apostle saw that her buddy who had walked in front was terrified by what he saw.

    ¡°Ah!!!¡±

    Screams echoed in the city as the lights dimmed. The surroundings were engulfed by darkness.

    ...

    In the morning in Jianghai, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes shot open as he reached up to the right side of his head. Matcha was holding onto his head with stiff limbs.

    ¡°Again?¡± Zhao Yao pulled Matcha off forcefully. As Matcha was pulled off, a dozen strands of hair stayed trapped by Matcha¡¯s ws.

    Zhao Yao: ¡°Ouch!¡±

    Even when Matcha was in the air, he showed no sign of waking up. His four ws grasped the air looking for something.

    Zhao Yao looked down to see Milk Tea hanging below Matcha. Milk Tea bit Matcha¡¯s tail and he swung along with Matcha¡¯s movements.

    ¡°When did these two pick up these habits?¡± Zhao Yao shook his head speechlessly and threw them out. Apanied by a series of shes, Zhao Yao shouted, ¡°You sleep on my head again and I will shave your fur off!¡±

    Matcha ran out with Milk Tea behind him. After running about 50 meters, Matcha was tired and started walking. Milk Tea shouted behind him, ¡°Brother Matcha! It¡¯s okay. He did not follow us out. There¡¯s no need to run!¡±

    Matcha turned and saw that Zhao Yao did not chase them. Then he said viciously, ¡°Humph, he is lucky that he did not chase us. If he did I would have scratched him to his death.¡±

    Milk Tea asked, ¡°Brother Matcha, what are we doing today?¡±

    Matcha thought about it and said, ¡°We shall go to the construction site first. If there is no problem there then we can go to the Millionaire¡¯s Cat Wondend.¡± He licked his lips and thought, ¡°Even if I do not go to the construction site, there will still be cats working there and in the end I will still be given the Death Exemption Ticket. However, in the Millionaire¡¯s Cat Wondend, the more I do, the more I earn.¡±

    Zhao Yao crawled out from his bed and rubbed his head. ¡°I feel like I have forgotten something.¡±

    ¡°Forget it, if it can be forgotten that means it¡¯s nothing serious.¡±

    He came to the dining table in the Extradimensional Belly. Old K and Lang Gou had already served breakfast. Midnight was frying eggs, meat, and dumplings while looking bored.

    The three of them were Ivory¡¯s apostles and had been sent by the King of Death to kill Zhao Yao.

    After seeing that the Virtual-Spirit army, Dark Scorch army and the Ark army were defeated by Zhao Yao, they were convinced about Zhao Yao¡¯s capabilities. Now, they werepletely loyal to Zhao Yao. He was a devil. The only way to survive was to please him.

    Zhao Yao tried Midnight¡¯s Xiaolongbao and spat it out. ¡°Too sweet and the skin is too thick. It has been so long. Why haven¡¯t you guys improved?¡±

    Midnight ran over and apologized with Old K and Lang Gou.

    Midnight: ¡°Boss, give me some time. I will practice hard and improve my culinary skills. It will be better next time.¡± The other two pleaded as well.

    Zhao Yao rubbed his chin and shook his head as he fell into deep thought. The reason he wanted them to practice their culinary skills was not to satisfy his appetite.

    He wanted to let the three of them cook for Millionaire¡¯s Cat Wondend. Zhao Yao could not use illusions to make food everyday. Hence, he had to hire a group of chefs and the three of them were freebor.

    The monthly mission gave experience points based on the profit. Every 50 thousand made was worth 100 experience points. Hence, Zhao Yao is trying all sorts of ways to reduce the cost.

    But now...

    Zhao Yao looked at the three of them and said slowly, ¡°Looks like it is hard to expect you guys to reach the skills of a professional cook in a short period of time.¡±

    When they saw Zhao Yao in deep thought, Midnight, Old K and Lang Gou were nervous. When they heard what Zhao Yao said, they heaved a sigh of relief.

    Then, Zhao Yao continued, ¡°If you can¡¯t be cooks then you will do something else to earn money.¡±

    ¡°Something else?¡± The three of them looked at each other. They were happy that they no longer needed to cook.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Zhao Yao nodded. ¡°Go be idols.¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°Idols have high ie,¡± Zhao Yao said slowly. ¡°So tomorrow, the three of you will take a ne to Thand. Get stic surgery and gender reassignment surgery. After that, you guys cane back and form a girls group. As it happens, there is a girls grouppetition soon. You guys can join that.¡±

    ¡°What?!¡± When the three of them heard Zhao Yao, they fell on their knees and wailed, ¡°Boss! Spare us! We promise to cook properly!¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at the three of them and said calmly, ¡°Since you guys no talent in cooking, you guys can form a girls group. You guys would know what men like, have a decent body, and I have money to give you the best surgery. Who knows... You guys may be popr!¡±

    ¡°No!¡± Midnight cried, crawled to Zhao Yao, and hugged his leg. ¡°Boss! I am still a virgin! I can¡¯t threw it away without even using it!¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the three of them who were crying and asked coldly, ¡°You guys don¡¯t want to do this and can¡¯t do that. Tell me, what should I do?¡±

    Midnight shouted, ¡°Boss! We will learn how to cook with the greatest determination! Please give us another chance!¡±

    When Zhao Yao saw the three of them on the floor shouting desperately, he nodded and handed out a menu. ¡°This the menu of the buffet. Practice this menu. If you need any ingredients just tell Bai Quan.

    By the end of the month, if you guys still cannot produce dishes that I am satisfied with, I will book your ne tickets to Thand.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded when he saw that the three of them were determined to learn how to cook. Of course he could not rely just on the three of them, he had decided to ask Sphynx cat to lend them his powers.

    On top of their determination to practice cooking everyday Sphynx cat¡¯s powers would increase their efficiency.

    Sphynx cat¡¯s powers would enhance their overall abilities. Although he would only lend them for half a month, it was enough for them to gain extraordinary arm strength, stamina, memory, smell, taste and sensitivity. It would improve their basic culinary skills and let the three of them be responsible for the workload of an entire team of chefs.

    They would be in charge of everything from cooking and cutting ingredients to washing the tes and cleaning the tables.

    If it couldn¡¯t be done then Zhao Yao would have to employ a team of chefs.

    For the next half a month, Zhao Yao spent most of his time and effort on the Millionaire¡¯s Cat Wondend. He hoped that he would obtain more experience points every month.

    The Millionaire¡¯s Cat Wondend was bing a more and more popr option for apostles and supercats. As Zhao Yao did not advertise much for ordinary people, though many of them came, they were not the main consumer base.

    Zhao Yao was doing business peacefully when Uncle Ho¡¯s phone call broke the peace.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, there¡¯s trouble!¡±

    Zhao Yao was sitting in one of the sleeping room in Cat Wondend as he watched the cats walk around on the ss ceiling above him. Catherine was one of them.

    The sleeping rooms were one of the few quiet ces in Cat Wondend and it was also the only ce to stay overnight.

    The room was filled rolls of sofas that wererge enough to lie in it. On the ceiling was a ss panel where one could watch the cats y around.

    With Catherine, anyone who watched the cats y would fall asleep. For those with insomnia or neurasthenia, Cat Wondend was their favorite ce to stay. In fact, some customers would hug the cats and sleep through the night.

    Zhao Yao answered the call and walked out.¡±What is the problem again?¡±

    ¡°In the south, OX city, there was a supernatural incident.¡± Uncle Ho said, ¡°The situation is very bad. We have hundreds of people trapped there.¡±

    ¡°OX city?¡± Wait isn¡¯t it overseas? Was it Vietnam or Myanmar? Why are you guys there?¡± Zhao Yao said.

    Uncle Ho answered in despair, ¡°A traitor snatched meteorite fragments that we had just discovered and brought them to OX city. We sent apostles out to pursuit him but... There is something wrong with the city. All the apostles we have sent have lost contact with us and the local government has sent troops to surround the city.¡±

    Uncle Ho sighed, ¡°We also don¡¯t know who leaked the news. Apostles from several countries have proceeded to OX city in attempt to snatch the meteorite fragments. Now the situation is very critical. We cannot send too many men over. We can only rely on the individual strength of an apostle. We need your back-up.¡±

    ¡°Meteorite Fragments.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s lips curved upwards. He had experienced the benefits of the skill points: two skills at once. It was a good experience.

    Zhao Yaoughed. ¡°I am interested. How do you want me to help?¡±

    Uncle Ho said, ¡°We hope that you can help us to recover the meteorite fragments and save the surviving apostles in OX city. Can you do it?¡±

    Zhao Yao: ¡°Simple.¡±

    Five minutester, a hurricane stationed in the sky above Cat Wondend for awhile before flying south.

    ...

    In the south, OX city.

    A team of white, ck, and yellow skinned apostles were eying the the streets outside the window with great caution.

    The streets were deserted and the entire city was abandoned.

    A ck man was in cold sweat and said apprehensively, ¡°Damn it. OX city is a small city but there should be a poption of at least 500 thousand. Now, they are all gone. What the hell?¡±

    Another tall blond guy who wearing a suit said, ¡°Aren¡¯t the things we saw ghosts?¡±

    All of them fell silent and looked terrified as they recalled the horrific memory.

    A girl said, ¡°What should we do now Edward?¡±

    Edward who had blond hair answered, ¡°The mission has failed. This city is finished. We have to escape. It is our only chance.¡±

    ¡°But we are surrounded by troops. How are we going to go out?¡±

    Edward looked at the Chinese man who was tied up and asked fiercely, ¡°Chinese guy, since you guys dared to enter, you must know a way out. Tell us...¡±

    Then, there was a loud rumble in the sky and all of them looked at the sky. It seemed like something was soaring in the sky and left a trail.

    ¡°Who is it? That arrogant? Flying straight in? Does he think that the surrounding troops are for disy?¡± Edward frowned and said, ¡°This guy is dead.¡±

    Like Edward said, the next moment, a few rounds of missiles were fired into the sky.

    In OX city, a few Asians were constantly jumping on the roofs of the city. All of them showed extraordinary physical qualities.

    After proceeding a certain distance, they would stop, look for trails and converse in their own dialect.

    ¡°Where did that guy go?¡±

    ¡°There is a blood trail here.¡±

    ¡°He can¡¯t run far with such heavy injuries.¡±

    They were from the neighboring Southeast Asian countries. It was their first time in OX city. They were here for the meteorite fragments.

    The person leading the team was a young person whose hand was filled with bandages and face had several scars. He stopped and searched as he muttered. ¡°Meteorite Fragments can enhance powers. Ever since the European incident, all the big countries have been developing their superpowers. However, our country doesn¡¯t even have one meteorite fragment. This is our best chance.¡±

    Another youth looked at the scarred face man with admiration. He was the apostle who had the highestpatibility with supercats in their country. Before he had powers, he already was a great warrior in the army. After obtaining powers, he had be like a superhero.

    The youth looked at him and said, ¡°Leader Bason, we found trails of blood!¡±

    Bason came to the blood trials, he squat down to dab it and sniffed it. His eyes lit up. ¡°He is near by. Get ready to fight.¡±

    After Bason and his men searched, they found their target. It was a dark skinned and skinny apostle. When he saw Bason and his men, he started to scold them. Apparently he was a Southeast Asian apostle too.

    Bason and his men surrounded him and probed him. They realized that he no longer had his powers. 24 hours were over and the powers that he had borrowed were no longer valid.

    Bason waved his hand to call his men with weapons to back off. He clenched his fist, stretched his neck and walked up slowly. ¡°You are an apostle from this city right? Your powers are gone. Tell me what you know about the meteorite fragment and what happened to this city. Then, I can let you off.¡±

    Bason wanted him alive to ask for information. That¡¯s why he asked his men to back off.

    The skinny and ck apostle heard Bason andughed coldly. He lifted his pistol and fired at Bason.

    However, the bullet hit Bason with a loud sh and scratched past him like on a metal board.

    It was the power that Bason had borrowed. Steel body: it enhanced the muscles and bones to give a strong defense and physical abilities.

    Bason patted the ce that was hit by the bullet as he smiled menacingly. He charged up and attacked the apostle with both his fists that brought about the sound of thunder and wind.

    Straight punch, side kick, swing punch, knee, and uppercut. After a series of attacks, Bason looked at the apostle that was lying on the floor like a rag doll. He went up and broke the apostle¡¯s calf.

    Bason smiled menacingly and said calmly. ¡°It¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t say.¡± He waved his hands and asked his men toe forward. ¡°Make him spit out all the information that he knows.¡±

    Soon, Bason had some basic information about the city.

    Bason frowned and said, ¡°If we want to get hold of the meteorite fragment, we have to find the Chinese men. They have more Intel.¡±

    When they heard Chinese, all the other youths frowned. They did not want to go against a big country.

    Bason looked at his men andughed, ¡°Don¡¯t be so nervous. Although our country is iparable to the big countries as apostles we can beat them. Like how our boxers can beat their boxers easily. It¡¯s about individual capabilities. It has nothing to do with the country.¡±

    Bason smiled and continued, ¡°Furthermore, they have entered the city for long enough for most of the apostles to have lost their powers.¡±

    One of the men asked Bason, ¡°Will the Chinese take revenge on us?¡±

    Basonughed, ¡°There are apostles from several countries in this city after them. How can they take revenge?¡±

    Bason was right. ording to the Intel from thest hours, after the Chinese apostles entered OX city, they were met with a supernatural urrence while they were searching for the meteorite fragment. The Chinese apostles and the local apostles had suffered heavy losses.

    After that, because they had stayed in the city for too long and lost their powers, all the other apostles from other countries had better capabilities and could pursuit them easily to demand Intel.

    Then, they heard a loud bang in the air.

    All of them looked up to see a trail across the sky.

    ¡°What was that?¡±

    In the sky, Zhao Yao was wearing the Cheese Cloak and holding onto the Rice Cake de. He activated his Deflective Field and hugged Roly Poly to stay invisible. He looked at the approaching missiles and smiled.

    Then, he removed a portion of his invisibility and his body could be seen floating in the air. He waved his hand and changed to Dust Ball¡¯s power and shouted, ¡°Cats!¡±

    That instant, except the Dimension Portal on the Cat Ind, all the remaining four Dimension Portal opened behind Zhao Yao and pointed in the direction of the missile.

    Close to 200 supercats were in the four Dimension Portals, releasing their powers.

    Ice, mes, Lightning, Hurricane, Acid, Toxins and Force Fields were the mostmon powers. There was a variety of decelerations, curses, rebounds, offsets, cat litter and bricks that flew out. There were some powers that even Zhao Yao was unfamiliar with and some that were useless against the missiles.

    Even Milk Tea and Matcha picked up a bunch of cat litter and threw it.

    Sphynx cat¡¯s eyes narrowed and his ws shed. A steel column flew out like a bolt of lightning. The air was sted and a sound barrier was formed.

    Although the strength of the powers were uneven, the quantity was huge.

    Close to 200 supercats activated their powers at the same time, the air formed tsunami like waves and engulfed the missiles that weren¡¯t even near. The missiles turned into a few fireballs and exploded in the air.

    Originally, Zhao Yao could alreadymand most of the cats in the Extradimensional Belly. After the opening of Cat Wondend, all the cats had an ie and with such incentives, all the cats were extra obedient.

    Hence, Zhao Yao could easily gather the cats and smash the missiles that could easily crush any other apostle.

    After dealing with the missile, Zhao Yao looked at the restless troops in the distance and clenched his fist. He felt invincible.

    ¡°Are there no opponents?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t even have a decent opponent. My life is so lonely.¡±

    After the Europe incident, Zhao Yao realized that he was invincible. Every night, he could not help but ask himself:

    ¡°Zhao Yao, are you the strongest in the world now?¡±

    ¡°Aye, I can¡¯t be so boastful. I may just be the strongest man in the world.¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Zhao Yao shook his head in the air. ¡°Zhao Yao, you can¡¯t be too proud. How many people were defeated because they thought themselves invincible? I cannot repeat their mistake.¡±

    ¡°I need to keep a low profile but do high profile things.¡±

    Zhao Yao decided to be low profile and left the restless troops alone. He randomly chose a direction andnded in OX city.

    Many apostles in OX city saw the scene in the sky and were stricken with fear.

    Bason¡¯s face fell and cold sweat rolled down his head. He felt that his abilities were insignificantpared to the apostle in the air.

    He thought to himself, ¡°Who is that guy? There are such apostles in the world? Compared to the Golden Dragon apostle in Europe incident, I wonder who is stronger?¡±

    Bason shook his head and said, ¡°Let¡¯s change a direction and avoid that person.¡±

    Meanwhile, the blond haired Edward looked calm on the surface but he was panicking inside. ¡°What terrifying powers. We cannot stay in this city any longer. We have to leave.¡± All the other apostles around him nodded vigorously.

    As Zhao Yaonded, all the apostles in that direction fled in all directions. All of them were unwilling to meet the mysterious but strong apostle.

    Zhao Yao did not care so much andnded on a rooftop. He looked down at the OX city and couldn¡¯t see anyone. He thought to himself. ¡°Why is there no one in the city? Have they evacuated?¡±

    Because Uncle Ho had lost contact with the apostles, Zhao Yao did not know what supernatural incident had urred in OX city. He needed to find an apostle from his country to find out.

    ¡°How am I going to find them?¡± Zhao Yao rubbed his chin. Looking for them one by one on the streets would be the least efficient solution. ¡°It is best if they cane look for me. However, Uncle Ho asked me to not expose my identity. It would be bad to cause international conflict.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the mission he had received from Uncle Ho.

    Mission: Rescue

    Mission Objective: Rescue the trapped official apostles from OX city

    Rewards: Every apostles rescued, 100 experience points would be awarded. If identity is exposed, mission failed.

    Mission Penalty: Cuddle for three hours

    For this mission, the more people he rescued the better. If Zhao Yao intended to search for them one by one, it would be too slow. Furthermore, it was rare for the Book to have a Mission Penalty. Although the penalty was unclear but Zhao Yao did not want to experience it.

    ¡°Then, I have to think of a way to gather all the Chinese apostles without exposing my identity.¡±

    Zhao Yao opened the Dimension Portal and shouted, ¡°Fish Ball? Ask him toe out.¡±

    Matcha spoke in the headset. ¡°Where is Cat No.19? Ask him toe over, Boss is looking for him... what? He is with a guest?¡± Matcha looked at Zhao Yao. ¡°Boss, Cat No.19 is with a guest. He can¡¯te at the moment.¡±

    ¡°Chey.¡± This was the disadvantage of opening the Cat Wondend. If the cats were working, it was not good to ask him toe over.

    Matcha spoke in the headset. ¡°Boss, do we call him over? But he is with a regr customer, it is not too good to call him over.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head and said, ¡°Forget it, ask him to work peacefully. In Cat Wondend, we should not cheat the customers.¡±

    ¡°At first I wanted to ask Fish Ball to make a glowing symbol and attract all the official apostles over.¡± Zhao Yao rubbed his chin and thought, ¡°I have to think of another way.¡±

    In the east corner of OX city, a youth was standing on the roof and spoke into the microphone. ¡°Captain, that guy has disappeared.¡±

    ¡°Has he?¡± A middle-aged man, who was in the cabin below, nodded and spoke into the microphone. ¡°Continue to keep watch. Inform me if there is any problem. I will take your shift in 30 minutes.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, Captain, I can continue.¡±

    ¡°This is an order, Dong Zi. You have not slept for two days. At this rate, you will be a burden when we start fighting.¡±

    Dong Zi sighed, ¡°Okay Captain.¡±

    After speaking, Captain could not help but reveal a trace of exhaustion. He looked at his soldiers that were lying around the room and sighed deeply.

    This mission was far more dangerous than they had expected. Instead of capturing the traitor and taking back the meteorite fragment, they had lost many men and lost contact with their country.

    Just then, another apostle, who could take on an army and smash missiles, appeared, andnded in the city.

    Dong Zi spoke through the walkie-talkie again. ¡°Captain, you missed the action. A few KS1C were shot up. They were destroyed in a second. That guy is so strong. What if he is here for the meteorite fragment too?¡±

    Captain fell silent and answered, ¡°We have lost contact for so long. Our country would have send back-up long ago. Don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s fine.¡±

    Dong Zi asked worriedly, ¡°Do we have such strong apostles too?¡±

    Captain paused and answered confidently, ¡°Of course.¡±

    Dong Zi asked curiously. ¡°Who? Do I know the person? How strong is the apostle?¡±

    Captainughed, ¡°I can tell you but don¡¯t spread it. Our country¡¯s strongest apostle goes by the name ¡®Oriental Beacon¡¯.¡±

    ¡°Oriental Poison?¡± Dong Zi frowned. ¡°Are his powers the ability to use poison? Sounds weird.¡±

    ¡°No, not poison, beacon.¡± Captain continued, ¡°I heard our leaders speak of him once. That man is the strongest apostle in the country. He is said to have the ability to take on an entire country.¡±

    Dong Zi looked fascinated. ¡°That powerful? How is hepared to the one in the sky just now?¡±

    Captain answered hesitantly. ¡°They... should be on par? No, he would be better than the one in the sky.¡±

    After the Captain spoke, Dong Zi frowned and said, ¡°Wait, I think that guy just threw something into the sky.¡± He raised his binocrs and looked.

    Captain asked, ¡°What is it?¡±

    Dong Zi said bewilderedly, ¡°It looks like letters cut out from the billboard. It is huge, let me take a look...¡± He stared and read out the letters that flew into the sky. ¡°W... T... Q... S? WTQS? What does it mean?¡±

    Captain was startled. ¡°WTQS? What does he want to do?!¡±

    Dong Zi answered, ¡°It may be English initials.¡±

    Captain nodded, ¡°Watch closely and report the situation to me.¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao used the Deflective Field to cut out a few letter that was as big as houses and raised it to the sky. He made himself invisible and the four letters could be seen clearly.

    He flew into mid air and use Deflective Field to raise the letters up as he stared at the alphabets. ¡°These are the chinese initials of the Headless Horseman. This is obvious enough, right? What if they can¡¯t tell what I am trying to say?

    ¡°How can it be?¡± Roly Poly eximed, ¡°WTQS is so straightforward. As long as they have learnt HanYuPinYin, they will know these are the initials of the Headless Horseman. You are very famous in the country. If they knew it was you, they woulde running over.¡±

    ¡°You keep ttering me.¡± Zhao Yao rubbed his head. ¡°I think I should change something. What if they don¡¯t get it.¡±

    ¡°Well, what is more obvious?¡±

    ...

    Dong Zi was still on the roof and suddenly his gaze turned cold. He shouted in the walkie-talkie. ¡°Captain, someone ising here. I think they areing for us.¡±

    Captain shouted immediately, ¡°Wake up, there are peopleing.¡±

    Of the soldiers who were sleeping, half of them woke up immediately, wiped their faces and woke up the rest.

    The held their guns, moved to the side of the window, and looked at the street.

    Dong Zi¡¯s voice came from the headset. ¡°20 degrees north-east, they are here in a truck.¡±

    Everyone soon heard the sound of the engine as the truck drove towards them. It stopped about a hundred meters away and a few yellow skinned people exited from the truck. They were grabbing a kid. They pointed to the building and were conversing.

    Dong Zi frowned, ¡°Oh no, it is the kid that we saved.¡±

    Captain pulled the bolt and said coldly, ¡°Prepare to fight.¡± He was praying that the enemy didn¡¯t have strong apostles or that they weren¡¯t even apostles.

    It was because all the soldiers in this building including him no longer had any powers. At this point of time, although they were experienced, they were just ordinary humans.

    However, reality is always cruel. The five yellow skinned apostles locked the kid back in the truck and after a burst of roars, they turned into bears that were seven to eight meters high.

    Captain¡¯s gaze turned cold and said, ¡°It is the local South Asian Gang, the Bear army. Shoot! Don¡¯t let theme near.¡±

    The five seven to eight meters tall bears did not charge them but walked up to them like five tanks. Dong Zi was slightly stunned.

    The rest of them reacted quickly and shot the ck bears furiously.

    However, the bears¡¯ bodies were too strong and their skin was too thick. The bullets were unable to go through its thick fur, fat, and muscle. Instead, it agitated them.

    The five ck bears knocked down the walls and door. They even wanted to tear the building down.

    ¡°Damn it!¡± The captain was annoyed. Their mission was a simple pursuit mission and they had powers with them. Furthermore, weapons were hard to bring across the borders hence they did not bring weapons with heavy firepower. They were helpless against the five bears.

    As the building started to crumble, all the soldiers jumped out one by one and tried to escape in different directions.

    However, the enemy they were facing not only had brute force. They had explosive strength, speed and endurance that were far better than humans.

    The five bears charged towards the escaping soldiers and soon there were people captured or badly injured.

    Captain heard the screams from beside him and gave a menacing look. He turned back and shot at the head of one of the bears hitting one of its eye.

    Blinded in one eye, the bear raged and the other eye was filled with blood. The bear charged towards him frantically.

    Captain¡¯s face changed and ran into themissary store at the side. Three seconds after he ran in, the bear had charged into themissary and everywhere the bear went the counters were smashed and walls copsed. It was like a beast on rampage who had its eyes on the captain.

    ¡°No, I can¡¯t get it off my tracks.¡± Captain looked at the bear sniffing. ¡°A bear¡¯s sense of smell is much better than a hound¡¯s. These human-bears will not have a bad sense of smell.¡±

    Thinking of this, he flipped over and wanted to fight it out.

    Then, he saw a soldier jump down from the third storey andnded on the bear¡¯s head. He wanted to shoot the bear in the other eye. ¡°Captain! Run!¡±

    Roar! The bear roared and threw the soldier off. The bullet scratched pass the bear¡¯s eye, blinding itpletely.

    Captain watched hisrade knock into a wall and faint. His heart was aching.

    These were all elite soldiers trained by the country. All of them had highpatibility with powers and were experienced inbat. They were the elites in apostles.

    If their powers had not expired, any of them could have killed those five bears. Now, they were making pointless sacrifices here.

    When the captain thought of it, he pointed his gun and shot at the blinded bear ferociously. He finished all his bullets at once and the bear¡¯s face was covered in blood.

    Even so, he did not manage to kill the bear. He agitated the bearpletely as the bear roared and charged towards Zhao Yao.

    Captain¡¯s eyes narrowed, suppressed the urge to fight the bear and ran. He continuously used the fact that the bear was blind to grow the distance between them.

    Then, Dong Zi spoke in the walkie-talkie again.

    ¡°The letters changed again.¡±

    ¡°What letters?¡± Captain shouted in the walkie-talkie. ¡°Dong Zi, why are you still looking at them? Run!¡±

    ¡°No, the letters became UNHAPPY.¡±

    ¡°UNHAPPY? What unhappy? I am headless!¡± Captain was agitated. ¡°Don¡¯t pay attention to it. Escape that ce!¡±

    When captain shouted this, he paused. ¡°Headless... Wait, is it him?¡±

    He turned to look at his men who suffered heavy loses and clenched his teeth. ¡°Dong Zi, the signal gun is in your hands right? Fire it into the sky!¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°Just try it. Fire it into the sky!¡±

    The signal res soar into the sky and exploded in mid air. Captain looked at the battlefield. Nothing changed he was dismayed.

    ¡°Right, even if he came after seeing the signal, it would be toote.¡±

    When Captain was thinking of that, the world froze.

    When time started flowing again, Captain¡¯s vision was a blur and a guy in a ck robe appeared on the street and walked past the human-bears.

    Apanied by Zhao Yao¡¯s footsteps were the five bears¡¯ yells and they fell to the floor covered in blood.

    Zhao Yao saw the apostles who were covered in blood and opened the Dimension Portal. He shouted, ¡°Lucifer! Get out and work!¡±

    After Zhao Yao shouted, Matcha yelled in the Extradimensional Belly. ¡°Lucifer? Where are you? It¡¯s time to work!¡±

    Matcha told Zhao Yao. ¡°Zhao Yao, Lucifer is entertaining a guest. He does not have time toe out and work.¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned. ¡°Lives are at stake. What is entertaining a guest? Ask him toe out.¡±

    Matcha asked hesitatingly. ¡°Lucifer is with Minister X¡¯s son, it¡¯s not good to offend him.¡±

    Zhao Yao was angered. ¡°Matcha, can¡¯t you see that so many people need to be saved by him? Even if it is Minister X himself, pull him out for me.¡±

    After a while, four supercats carried Lucifer, who was tied up, and brought him to Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Let me go!¡± Lucifer shouted excitedly, ¡°What do you want? I will not concede defeat!¡±

    Zhao Yao drew his lips together and grabbed Lucifer. ¡°Lucifer,e over and cure them. Lend your powers to them. Get it?¡±

    He looked at Lucifer¡¯s loyalty, it was 98. He could lend his powers.

    To the soldier¡¯s surprise, Zhao Yao walked to an injured soldier and poked at them in a distance.

    Actually it was Lucifer that was invisible. Zhao Yao raised Lucifer and poked the injured soldiers, the soldier moaned and the injuries on him started to heal. Soon, he waspletely fine and healthy.

    After ultra rapid regeneration, the soldier stood up and looked at Zhao Yao in bewilderment. ¡°Why do I feel so good when this guy touches me? What did he do? Is it his problem ... or mine.¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled at him. ¡°How is are you feeling? That¡¯s good. Hahaha.¡± He thought to himself. ¡®Each of them are worth 100*2 experience points. I have to take care of them properly.¡¯

    The young soldier stumbled backwards and felt his hair stand after Zhao Yao looked at him weirdly.

    Captain saw Zhao Yao poke his soldiers in a distance and the soldiers recovered. Even the person who was thrown by the bear and had dozens of bones broken could stand up and looked at his body in surprise.

    Although, Zhao Yao had activated Time Freeze and flew over, he was stillte. Two soldiers had died from heavy injuries. They were sacrificed before the signal gun was fired.

    Zhao Yao sighed and looked at the Captain. ¡°You are their captain?¡±

    ¡°Yes, I am Thunder, the person in charge of this team.¡± Thunder looked at Zhao Yao who had no head and was in ck cloak. ¡°You... are the Headless Horseman?¡±

    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°They sent me here as back-up. Tell me the situation here. What did you guys encounter? Where are the rest?¡±

    Thunder heaved a sigh of relief. Although the person that came was not Oriental Beacon, the Headless Horseman was one of the famous apostles in the superpower realm. He was also the Cat King in the big districts like Jianghai. His capabilities were not to be underestimated.

    Furthermore, before this, he had disyed his abilities to defend himself from the missile and the ability to cure his soldiers. All these made him feel trustworthy.

    Thunder said, ¡°We have to find a safe ce and hide.¡± He looked at the sky and looked bothered. ¡°It¡¯s going to be nighttime soon.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Zhao Yao frowned. He had no time to waste. Just now, he rushed over with his fastest speed and yet two soldiers were sacrificed. In the city, the soldiers were facing dangers every second, he had to hurry up.

    Zhao Yao shook his head. ¡°There is no need to find. The world¡¯s safest ce is beside me. Tell me what you know. They sent five teams over. Can you contact the other four teams now?¡±

    Thunder looked at him in shock and although he felt that Zhao Yao was too arrogant. Since Zhao Yao insisted, he did not force it and brought everyone to themissary by his side. When everyone was resting, Thunder told Zhao Yao. ¡°There is a ghost in the city.¡±

    ¡°Ghost?¡± Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Is it some kind of power?¡±

    ¡°I... don¡¯t know.¡± Thunder said with uncertainty. ¡°At first, everything was normal and Team one was the first to find Fan Jian...¡±

    Zhao Yao nod his head. Fan Jian was the traitor they were supposed to capture. He had stolen meteorite fragments and escaped to OX city.

    Thunder continued, ¡°ording to Team one, after they found Fan Jian, they wanted to arrest him. But, when they were trying to arrest him, they were met with a ghost attack and suffered heavy losses.¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned and was curious about what all this was about.

    Thunder exined, ¡°At first we thought Team one had encountered some special power. Then, the situation got weirder. There were lesser and lesser people in the city... But, more and more ghosts. We had to split up and the situation got worse. All forms ofmunication were cut off and our powers were starting to wear off. In the end, we were trapped in this city.¡±

    ¡°All themunication is cut off?¡± Zhao Yao asked,¡±You mean that the telephone, inte...¡±

    ¡°They all don¡¯t work. We have tried everything. It is like all the signal in OX city has been blocked.¡±

    Zhao Yao asked curiously, ¡°What is this ghost? Why have I not met one?¡±

    ¡°Ghosts... They are like in the stories. All our attacks are useless against them.¡± Thunder sighed, ¡°You have not met with one yet because they onlye out at night.¡± He looked at the sunset and said, ¡°And now... It is about to be nighttime.¡±

    Zhao Yao was very curious about the ghost and asked Thunder if he had any ways to contact the other four teams. Thunder said that he had fired the signal gun just now. If they saw the signal, they would gather there.

    Zhao Yao sent Sphynx cat to watch the surroundings and get ready to help any soldier that came to them. After all, Sphynx cat had the strongest senses and could get to the soldiers faster. If they were met with trouble, Sphynx cat could also protect them.

    The rest of them stayed in themissary with Zhao Yao to await the other soldiers.

    Although Zhao Yao could send them through the Dimension Portal, he needed their help to search for the other soldiers. cing them in the Extradimensional Belly was also very troublesome as it would expose his other powers. If he asked Elizabeth to cover them with her illusion then it would affect the operations of Cat Wondend.

    ¡°Forget it. They can stay beside me. With me, how can there be an ident? Besides, although they don¡¯t know it, they have Lucifer¡¯s powers. They can¡¯t die even if they wanted to.¡± Zhao Yao looked outside. ¡°Why haven¡¯t the other reached us? They are so slow.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked out at the streets and thought, ¡°This... is really dark.¡±

    When all of them looked up at the streets, it was pitch ck.

    <h4>Chapter 738: The Ghost</h4>

    After the sun set in OX city, there was not a single hint of light anywhere. The streemps were all off and rows of houses were shrouded in darkness, as if the whole city had been engulfed in darkness. A suppressive feeling that was difficult to articte emanated from that darkness.

    Thunder and the rest casually took some wooden materials from the supermarket and lit them with a lighter to start a simple bonfire.

    As the fire was lit, the crowd subconsciously exhaled in relief.

    However, the surroundings beyond the ss windows of the supermarket seemed to turn even darker. It was almost pitch-ck outside as if the whole area was shrouded in thick ck smoke. Even the street right in front of the supermarket could not be seen clearly.

    Thunder sighed and said, ¡°For these past few nights, OX city seems to have turned darker and darker. Those ghostly things are about toe out soon. Everyone gather closely around the fire. Do not go around alone.¡±

    The rest nodded as memories from the past few nights haunted their minds. Their experience these past few nights were obviously deeply etched in their minds. They were unable to resist the fear that surrounded them as it seeped into their bones.

    ¡°It is pitch-dark outside now and those dirty things are hiding somewhere out there. It¡¯s very dangerous.¡± Thunder stared at Zhao Yao as he continued, ¡°The other units would not act rashly under such pitch-dark conditions. Let¡¯s stay here for the night and wait for them toe.¡±

    Just as the crowd stared at the world outside turning even darker and more oppressive, Zhao Yao took out a ball of light from nowhere. That ball was Fish Ball, who was emanating light with Roly Poly¡¯s powers keeping him invisible.

    Zhao Yao walked towards the door of the supermarket with Fish Ball in his hand as he said, ¡°Everyone calm down! I have prepared a super efficient, 360 degrees searchlight. There¡¯s no need to fear. No matter how dark it is, you can even give people directions to their paths.¡±

    Everyone stared in astonishment at Zhao Yao as the ball of light in his hands glowed brighter and brighter as if Zhao Yao had brought the sun with him as he stepped out of the supermarket. The whole street lit up in an instant and looked just like it was daytime as the white light shone towards the sky, illuminating half of the city.

    ¡°So bright.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t feel so scared now.¡±

    As Zhao Yao was taking out the ball of light, hemunicated telepathically with Fish Ball and said, ¡°Are you done serving customers? Come here and help me for a while.¡±

    Fish Ball said in annoyance, ¡°There are still people calling for me. I¡¯m really popr now.¡±

    ¡°Okay okay, take it. As you¡¯re working overtime, I will pay you double,¡± Zhao Yao replied as he stopped in his tracks and turned to the people behind him and said, ¡°I will put the ball of light here. Is that okay?¡±

    Thunder and the rest nodded their heads nkly as they felt the difference in the atmosphere around thempared to the previous nights. Everyone would have been huddled together around the bonfire too scared of the ghastly things in the dark to fall asleep.

    Thunder could not help saying, ¡°This won¡¯t attract the attention of other apostles right?¡±

    ¡°I will kill them if theye,¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°Look at the dark eye circles under your eyes. You guys haven¡¯t had a good night¡¯s sleep in a long while right? Quick, go to sleep. I will keep watch for the night.¡±

    After a few minutes, Thunder andpany watched as Zhao Yao leaned against the entrance of the supermarket sitting down, his eyes shut as he drooled and snored in deep sleep. Everyone else exchanged nces with each other.

    OX city was still in danger after all so they did not dare to go into deep sleep. Hence, they all woke up after being startled by a loud snore from Zhao Yao.

    Dong Zi said in a small voice, ¡°I think he fell asleep.¡±

    Thunder hesitated, ¡°I don¡¯t think so? I heard of a kind of vignce which only the aces in the army were capable of. It is when the person can enter a deep sleep but once they sense something wrong they will wake up. Maybe the Headless Horseman is in such a state now.¡±

    At that moment, Zhao Yao suddenlyughed, ¡°Hahahaha, remember to visit us again, Boss.¡±

    Dong Zi said exasperatedly, ¡°I think he¡¯s dreaming.¡±

    Thunder shook his head. ¡°Forget it, I will keep watch for the night. You all can sleep first.¡±

    Dong Ziined, ¡°He¡¯s snoring too loudly. I can¡¯t sleep like this.¡±

    At that moment, the bright light suddenly disappeared and the whole supermarket became shrouded in darkness once more. The bonfire earlier on had extinguished long ago as no one tended to it with the presence of the light from Fish Ball recing the need for a fire.

    As the light suddenly vanished, everyone was shrouded in darkness and could not see anything around them at all.

    The sudden darkness made everyone nervous and anxious. Thunder screamed, ¡°Don¡¯t panic! Everyone stay where you are!¡±

    However at that moment, footsteps were heard running across the supermarket. Thunder was enraged and bellowed, ¡°I told you all to stop moving! Stay where you are!¡±

    However, the footsteps did not stop running in the dark. Thunder was about to shout again when Dong Zi¡¯s voice spoke eerily from the side, ¡°Boss, that is the sound of leather shoes. None of us are wearing leather shoes.¡±

    Hearing Dong Zi¡¯s words, the tapping sound of the leather shoes stopped. Everyone held their breath at once.

    Thunder panicked when he heard the tapping sound of the leather shoes stop somewhere near him.

    Thunder gripped the gun in his hand tightly as beads of sweat formed on his forehead. The surroundings became silent as only their heavy breathing could be heard in the darkness.

    ¡°Wait, this doesn¡¯t sound right, we did not exert ourselves in any way so who¡¯s breathing so loudly?¡± Thunder got a shock as he realized that the breathing sound was getting louder as if it was right beside his ears.

    Chills were sent down his spine right into his bones as he immediately raised the gun in his right hand. However, just when he raised his gun, the tapping sound of the footsteps were heard again and it was moving away from him.

    As the footsteps rang out again, a second pair, then a third then many other footsteps were heard. It sounded as if there were more than 10 people wearing leather shoes and running around them.

    However, this supermarket was just like a convenience store, there was not enough space for more than 10 people to run around.

    In the pitch-dark environment, the sound of the footsteps running around in the silence sent chills down everyone¡¯s spines.

    ¡°They¡¯re ghosts!¡±

    ¡°The ghosts are here.¡±

    ¡°Everyone huddle together! Don¡¯t be captured by them!¡±

    Just as everyone started to panic, the bright light returned and illuminated the supermarket at once. As the light returned, the footsteps retreated as if they had disappeared into the darkness outside.

    At the entrance to the supermarket, Zhao Yao was pping Fish Ball as he scolded angrily, ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to be on duty today? Why did you fall asleep?¡±

    Fish Ball drooled as he said, ¡°I am already awake Xiao Yu, I will get up after lying down for a while.¡± As he said that, the light on his body dimmed and was about to go out again.

    Zhao Yao immediately shook him and Fish Ball lit up again. He scolded Fish Ball as he shook him and said, ¡°Useless thing, even a light bulb is stronger than you.¡±

    Fish Ball was angered from all the shaking. ¡°Enough, Zhao Yao, I¡¯m warning you now! Stop shaking me or else I will...¡±

    Zhao Yao scoffed and shook him even harder turning Fish Ball into a ball of shadows.

    Fish Ball shone even brighter as Zhao Yao shook him. After a while, he screamed and vomited. Even the stuff he vomited shone brightly.

    Zhao Yao shook the invisible Fish Ball and nced towards Thunder who felt slightly awkward as he said, ¡°I wasn¡¯t asleep just now. I was feigning it. I looked like I was asleep but once there¡¯s some movement or if I sense something evil, I will wake up. Trust me, I¡¯ve practised this before.¡±

    Zhao Yao was referring to the power of his five cats. It was true that if he sensed an evil auraing towards him or the slightestmotion he would wake up just like cats when they take naps.

    Thunder nodded awkwardly. ¡°I trust you.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at all the apostles that had awakened and was surprised, ¡°Why are all of you awake? Oh, did those guys disturb your sleep?¡±

    As he said that, his eyebrows twitched as he stared in the direction where the footsteps disappeared to and scolded saying, ¡°Why are you all making so much noise in the middle of the night. Don¡¯t you know that people need to sleep? They have work tomorrow! Get your asses over and apologize!¡±

    Bam! The next moment, a formless wave rushed out from Zhao Yao¡¯s body, creating ripples in the air as it pounced towards the sound in the darkness. Where it had passed, a chilly wind swept over that was cold enough to freeze the surrounding air.

    At Zhao Yao¡¯s will, the Deflective Field ventured into the darkness and a thud was heard as if it had caught something.

    However, Zhao Yao frowned slightly. ¡°What great strength.¡± The Deflective Field, which he had just activated, did not manage to capture the enemy immediately.

    Although the Deflective Field was not in its Power Up card enhanced mode, it could still unleash tons of power. Even then, it was not able to capture his enemies. What was the thing that got away?

    ¡°Trying to escape?¡± Zhao Yao twitched his eyebrows as he stretched out his hand and grabbed the air. The bitter cold spread throughout the whole space. At his side, Thunder, Dong Zi and the rest shuddered at once. They got goosebumps feeling as though the temperature around them had dropped drastically.

    What they felt was the ripple effects from the cold force. Since its upgrade, the Deflective Field could reach a temperature that was as cold as -60 degrees celsius.

    Layers of frost suddenly appeared on the floor. Ka-cha! Ka-cha! sounds were heard from the darkness as if something was cracking as it froze.

    Behind Zhao Yao, Dust Ball kept the dimension portal open. Afterall, the situation in OX city was uncertain so Zhao Yao kept it as a backup n in case something went wrong.

    In the dimension portal at that moment, more than 10 supercats were inside watching the scene unfold in front of them.

    Dust Ball¡¯s eyes lit up as she said, ¡°How exciting.¡±

    Diana covered her big eyes with both paws as she trembled, ¡°So scary, meow. Is the ghost gone?¡±

    Lightning went over tofort Diana, ¡°Diana, you can lick me if you¡¯re scared.¡±

    Elizabeth¡¯s light shed red as she uttered, ¡°Get lost.¡±

    Under Elizabeth¡¯s control, Lightning rolled and knocked into Cannon. Cannonughed at Lightning as he rubbed his paws and said, ¡°Lightning, I bet you won¡¯t be able to get Diana to date you? You want to bet?¡±

    ¡°All you know how to do is bet.¡± Lightning narrowed his eyes at Cannon and said, ¡°How much did you lose at the round-robinpetition?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m left with 98 dors in my card. I need another 2 dors to pay. Why don¡¯t you lend me some money, Lightning?¡± Cannon smiled sheepishly and said, ¡°Today Germany is up against Mexico in the World Cup. It¡¯s a win for sure as long as you ce a bet. Lend me 2 dors and I will return the world to you.¡±

    Lightning just said, ¡°Get lost, betting dog.¡±

    On the other side, Zhao Yao scoffed before reaching out again. As he grabbed, a ck shadow was caught by the Deflective Field.

    The crowd was stunned at the sight of the ck shadow.

    The thing that stopped in front of Zhao Yao was about the size of a palm, covered in frost with cold air still emanating from it.

    ¡°This is... a shoe?¡± Thunder eximed.

    Zhao Yao frowned. The thing that Zhao Yao caught from the darkness looked like a leather shoe no matter how he tried to see it.

    Thunder was confused. ¡°This is the ghost¡¯s shoe? But why does a ghost need to wear shoes?¡±

    ¡°No, this thing is moving,¡± Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes. He could feel a strong energy emanating from the shoe. Although the low temperature reduced the powers of the shoe, there was indeed a force emanating from it.

    Zhao Yao activated the Deflective Field again and saw the air around the leather shoe contort as it started to shake violently from the force ofyers of pressure being exerted on it.

    The next moment, the leather shoe exploded with a bang, turning into a green smoke that tried to escape. However, it was caught in the Deflective Field andpressed into a green ball of smoke in Zhao Yao¡¯s hand.

    Everyone was shocked by the scene before them. Zhao Yao nced at them and shook his head as he said, ¡°It wasn¡¯t me, it turned into smoke on its own.¡±

    Thunder and the rest all gathered closer to Zhao Yao and stared in astonishment at the ball of smoke that was moving about in Zhao Yao¡¯s hand. ¡°This is the ghost?¡±

    However at the next moment, the ball of smoke vibrated intensely before it turned into the shape of a human skull thatughed eerily at Zhao Yao.

    Kekekekekeke...

    ¡°Why are you so noisy?¡± Zhao Yao was angered. ¡°You¡¯re already scrunched up in my hands and you¡¯re still so arrogant?¡± The Deflective Field exerted its strength and the ball of smoke shrunk again and tightened. ¡°Quick, apologize, for screaming so loudly in the dead of the night and waking everyone up.¡±

    Hehehehehehe!

    The smoke ghost just continuedughing eerily at Zhao Yao, sending chills down the spines of Thunder and the rest.

    However, Zhao Yao was enraged. To him, this was just a supercat or an apostle that was fooling around and pretending to be a ghost. This thing was actually still so arrogant even after being caught?

    ¡°Get on your knees and admit your mistakes!¡± As Zhao Yao said that, the smoke ghost was forced into the shape of a human under the pressure of the Deflective Field and plonked down on his knees in Zhao Yao¡¯s hand.

    Thunder was amazed. ¡°You can do that?¡±

    Everyone was shocked by the scene and watched as that small person started kowtowing to Zhao Yao.

    Thunder was shocked beyond words as he thought, ¡°Is this the power of the strong? His every move was impressive and his one word could make everyone do his bidding.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t think you can get away with just an apology,¡± Zhao Yao grabbed the cloud of smoke in his hand and started to twist it with the power of the Deflective Field. ¡°Tell us honestly. What exactly are you? A supercat? Or an apostle?¡± He thought to himself, ¡°Like Nekomata and the Japanese Spirit Army, if those spirits suddenly disappeared even my Deflective Field couldn¡¯t catch them. But why can¡¯t this thing escape my Deflective Field?¡±

    The cloud of smoke was seen turning into a ball then into a cube as it continued being molded into all sorts of shapes. However, it did not speak a word at all, as if it could not talk.

    Zhao Yao molded it with much interest, turning it into things like a cat stick and waving it around. He turned to Roly Poly and said, ¡°Roly Poly, try ying with this.¡±

    Roly Poly stared squarely at the cat stick that was being waved around and looked really interested in it. Atst, he pounced on it as if he could not resist the temptation and scratched crazily at the cat stick.

    Roly Poly, who was invisible, thought to himself, ¡°Sigh, forget it, just cooperate with this Zhao Yao and y around with it.¡± As a supercat Roly Poly was obviously past the age of being obsessed with cat sticks.

    Thunder watched as the Headless Horseman turned the smoke ghost into a cat stick and yed around with it. He was just about to remind him to think of a way to question the other party when he saw Zhao Yao fiddling with the smoke again and turning the smoke ghost into a long and rough thing with two ¡®eggs¡¯ attached to it at the bottom. Thereafter, the Headless Horseman continued ying around with the long stick thing.

    Thunder was speechless.

    Zhao Yao shook the thing as hemunicated telepathically to Roly Poly, ¡°Roly Poly, why are you not ying with it?¡± He ced the thing against Roly Poly¡¯s face as he said, ¡°Quick, scratch it. You don¡¯t like cat sticks anymore?¡±

    Roly Poly was speechless. He stared ominously at the thing on his face as he thought to himself, ¡°D*mn you, how is this a cat stick? You¡¯re just degrading my cat morals.¡±

    Just as Roly Poly thought about whether he should defy Zhao Yao, the smoke ghost that had been turned into that big stick screamed, ¡°Enough!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t go overboard!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m a ghost! If you continue ying with me, I will kill your whole family!¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Zhao Yao stared in surprise at the stick in his hand, ¡°So you can talk?¡±

    The smoke ghost screamed, ¡°Quick, turn me back!¡±

    ¡°No.¡±

    The smoke ghost said angrily, ¡°You want to know what I am and who sent me here right? I will tell you everything once you turn me back into my original form.¡±

    ¡°No,¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin and said, ¡°I still prefer how you look now.¡±

    ¡°What the f*ck.¡± The smoke ghost felt as if he was about to explode from anger. He had never met someone who was this ridiculous: turning a ghost into whatever they wanted... It was too preposterous.

    The smoke ghost asked furiously, ¡°What is needed for you to let me go?¡±

    ¡°You seem pretty useful.¡± Zhao Yao twirled him and said, ¡°From now on, you belong to me.¡±

    ¡°No!¡± The smoke ghost yelled angrily, ¡°Scumbag! Do you know what you have done? You are history. You are dead! We will not let you off!¡±

    ¡°Who are you?¡±

    ¡°We are...¡±

    Loud roars were hearding from the clouds of smoke. The smoke ghostbusted and the mes turned into sparks that vanished into the thin air.

    Zhao Yao looked puzzled at his hand that was holding the smoke ghost prior and thought, ¡°Suicide? Dead? Or a unique superpower that helped him escape?¡±

    Thunder who witnessed the disappearing of the smoke ghost was worried as he said, ¡°Are the ghosts in OX city all like this? No form and without shadow and capricious behavior too? They are not easy to deal with.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Zhao Yao waved his hand and said confidently, ¡°I am a ghostbuster. Back in China and Japan, I have lost count of the ghosts that I have captured. This ghost isn¡¯t particrly powerful.¡±

    As Zhao Yao was calming hispanions down, gunshots rang from the distant darkness and screams of humans tore through the silence.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes glistened as he said, ¡°Perhaps the other warriors rushed over in the dark?¡±

    Zhao Yao activated his Deflective Field to ce Thunder and his men behind him then he picked Fish Ball up and sprinted towards themotion.

    Fish Ball emitted white rays of light as Zhao Yao who was draped with Cheese¡¯s cloak sprinted towards the direction of the gunshots. He looked like a small sun hovering in mid-air with white rays of brilliance illuminating therge expanse before them.

    Meanwhile, a few warriors were running in the dark. Behind them were swooshing sounds that suggested some unknown creature was crawling on the ground and pursuing them.

    One of the woman panted heavily and shouted, ¡°No, I can¡¯t run anymore. I will provide cover while you escape.¡±

    A man pulled her along and sprinted while yelling, ¡°No one will be left behind.¡±

    The woman retorted fiercely, ¡°If this goes on, everybody will die!¡±

    As the group was in a heated discussion, a gust of sinister wind blew over their body and the swooshing sounds faded. The entire world fell into a dark silence. Only the heavy panting of the warriors was heard.

    The warriors set themselves back to back. Their sweaty palms held handguns while their nervous faces scanned the surrounding darkness.

    The woman abruptly tapped everyone¡¯s back and pointed to a distant street corner.

    They turned their heads and aimed their torchlight at the street corner.

    A woman in a tall white dress and long dark hair that obscured her face stood motionless with bare feet.

    Everyone shivered when they saw the woman in white. They felt a great sense of danger and it gave them goosebumps all over their bodies.

    A few minutes ago, the woman in white had killed more than ten local apostles and then pursued them here.

    They swallowed their saliva, turned around, and ran for their lives. They had no intention of fighting at all.

    The woman in white vanished the moment they reacted.

    The warriors were rmed and screamed, ¡°Run!¡±

    A blood red tongue shot out from nowhere, wrapped around the waist of a warrior, and pulled him into the darkness.

    Ah! The caught warrior roared, aimed his handgun at the blood red tongue, and pulled the trigger frantically.

    However, the bullets were unable to sever the tongue. Instead, it caused a series of bellows from the darkness and for the crimson tongue to tighten its grip. The caught warrior screamed in pain as his body cracked under pressure.

    The rest of the warriors were sick with anxiety. They raised their handguns and shot in the direction of the tongue extension. Their efforts were in vain as the caught warrior vanished slowly into the darkness.

    A warrior screamed in anger and sprinted towards the darkness. The rest of the warriors wanted to stop him but it was toote. They gritted their teeth and followed suit.

    The figure of the woman in white was caught in the wavering rays of the torchlight as she shed across its beam. The warrior shot at the figure.

    The rest of the warriors caught up and searched with their torchlight only to find the woman in white climbing the walls of a small building like a spider. The injured warrior was wrapped by a long crimson tongue and was carried by it as she climbed.

    ¡°Save him!¡±

    ¡°Be careful!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t hit Xiao Meng!¡±

    The warriors fired as they chased after her. The bulletsnded on her with loud pops. However, the woman in white did not appear to be injured. The incessant gunshots infuriated her instead.

    She bellowed and tossed Xiao Meng whonded on the ground. She scampered rapidly towards another warrior as her tongue shot out like a poisonous cobra and prated his shoulders.

    Gunshots, ferocious bellows, screams of agony rang in the darkness. The warriors were all seriously injured. The woman in white did not kill them as she intended to capture them.

    When the warriors had lost all hope, a ray of brilliance shone from the sky illuminating the entire street.

    They lifted their head and saw in the blinding light a figure walking down from the sky, advancing towards the woman in white.

    She showed her true self under the brilliant light. Her skin was as pale as a sheet, her face wretched, her eyes showing white and her tongue dripping with blood. She let out a disturbing bellow and rushed towards the unknown figure leaving a trail of her blurred white dress.

    Her sudden eleration was far greater than that used in the battle with the warriors. They realized that she had not used her full strength.

    The woman in white seemed to hit an invisible wall with a loud explosion and she was sent flying back violently where shended on the ground creating arge crater.

    She recovered quickly and climbed up. After a deafening roar, she rushed forward again.

    The figure in the white light pped his hand and the air was severely distorted. The woman in white was being hit like a fly with a mosquito swat. She was sprawled in the crater, unable to move.

    Zhao Yao walked out of the brilliant light and gazed at the woman in white who was pointlessly struggling in the crater to get up. He frowned.

    This ghost was different from the previous shoe ghost. She looked more like a zombie.

    Her crimson tongue abruptly shot out like a bullet and tore through the air towards Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead.

    The tongue froze at a distance of one meter from Zhao Yao as it was stopped by the Deflective Field.

    Zhao Yao was annoyed as he looked at the long and bloody tongue. ¡°This is disgusting. Don¡¯t stick your tongue out imprudently.¡± He grabbed the air and the woman¡¯s mouth was opened and the tongue shoved back in.

    The woman in white choked as he forced the tongue into her mouth.

    As the tongue was too long, her cheeks puffed up like a chipmunk¡¯s. She red venomously at him.

    Zhao Yao was angry. ¡°Why are you ring? Your tongue is so long. I am helping you to shove it back. Why are you ming me?¡±

    The warriors were shocked that the fierce and unstoppable woman in white was subdued in a blink of an eye.

    They suddenly realized that the stranger was without a head.

    Was it a ghost fight? A female ghost with a long tongue against a headless ghost?

    As the warriors were still confused, Zhao Yao hurled Thunder and Dong Zi in front of him.

    Thunder ran towards the injured warriors and said joyfully, ¡°Stream, Colt! Are you alright?¡± Realizing their serious wounds, he shouted to the Headless Horseman, ¡°Headless Horseman, please heal them.¡±

    Zhao Yao surveyed the injured warriors and shouted telepathically to the supercats in the Dimension Portal, ¡°Where is Lucifer? Get him out to work.¡±

    Zhao Yao carried Lucifer and healed the injured warriors. They stood up intact and gazed at Zhao Yao in astonishment.

    After Thunder¡¯s exnation, they understood that he was Jianghai¡¯s cat king, the Headless Horseman who hade to OX city to support them.

    Zhao Yao was circling the woman in white, observing her pale skin and tsk-tsking in amazement.

    ¡°I wonder if the female ghost will turn to smoke? Shall I grind her to test?¡± Zhao Yao activated his superpower and the Deflective Field pressed down on her with the weight of a huge mountain. Cracking sounds were hearding from her body and her face showed signs of agony. However, she didn¡¯t turn to smoke.

    ¡°Not changing?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s impression of her worsened and he asked, ¡°Let me ask you questions, if you don¡¯tply, I will strip you naked and take a video of you. Do you understand?¡±

    The female ghost trembled in fury, her face full of hatred as she red at Zhao Yao. Was that humane? A ghost could do better than him.

    Zhao Yao looked at her and nodded. ¡°Seems like you understood. Are you a cat or a person?¡±

    After she let out muffled sounds, Zhao Yao pped his head and said, ¡°Is your mouth blocked by your tongue?¡± After pondering for a while, he pulled out her tongue.

    ¡°Is that alright? Tell me, are you a supercat or an apostle?¡±

    The female ghost gazed at him maliciously as a sinister voice rang out, ¡°I do not know what you are talking about.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t know?¡± Zhao Yao raised his brow and tore the bottomp of her dress. ¡°Are you fooling with me? Don¡¯t force me to feed you to the fishes in deep sea.¡±

    She hugged her head in agony and shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know! I don¡¯t know anything! I was like this the moment I woke up!¡±

    She let out an agonizing roar and shot her tongue at Zhao Yao¡¯s heart. It was stopped by the Deflective Field again.

    Zhao Yao frowned and thought, ¡°There is something wrong with her.¡± He restrained her and asked again, ¡°Why did you attack them?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t know! I don¡¯t know!¡± She struggled as green veins pulsated on her face. Her eyes were full of crimson veins and she red malevolently at Zhao Yao. ¡°Kill everyone! Kill everyone!¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned and a suspicion arose in him as he thought, ¡°Is she being controlled? Or a side effect of a superpower?¡±

    Her entire bodybusted with strong mes. In a twinkling of an eye, she turned to a green mist that vanished into the thin air.

    Zhao Yao looked grave. After collecting intelligence since he had arrived, he had an unfavorable spection.

    Thunder and his men came up and witnessed the female ghost turning to mist. They looked serious and asked, ¡°This... was she destroyed to cover up the truth?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Zhao Yao shook his head and said, ¡°Let¡¯s rescue yourpanions first.¡± He looked at Stream and Colt and asked, ¡°Do you have otherpanions?¡±

    Stream shook his head and said sadly, ¡°We were attacked by foreign apostles and a few of ourpanions were captured.¡±

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Do you have any of their belongings?¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°Do you have any of their belongings?¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°Clothes, underwear, gloves, and such. With their belongings, I can find them.¡±

    A warrior came forward and said, ¡°This bag belongs to Ah Kun. Is this sufficient?¡±

    Zhao Yao took the bag and said telepathically to Fish Ball, ¡°Fish Ball, project the face of Ares in the sky.¡±

    Numerous people in OX city could see a projected beam of light in the sky and within the light was an image of an adorable cat face.

    A few minutester, a supersonic noise tore through the air as Sphynx cat sprinted to their location. He was made invisible by Roly Poly once he was within range. Everyone felt the strong winds but did not see the invisible Sphynx cat.

    Zhao Yao shook the bag in front of Sphynx cat and said telepathically, ¡°Sphynx cat, take a sniff and find the owner.¡± He told Dust Ball, who was in the Dimension Portal, ¡°Dust Ball, ce the Dimension Portal over here and let the supercats protect these warriors. You can also receive theirpanions if they rush over here.¡±

    Thunder¡¯s previous signal re would inform the remaining warriors in Ox city to rush over there hence Zhao Yao waited for them.

    With the help of other warriors, he was going to rescue them but he would not give up this location as other warriors mighte over after receiving the signal.

    Zhao Yao let Thunder stay put and assigned Dust Ball and the supercats to protect them.

    Zhao Yao brought along Roly Poly and Sphynx cat and followed the trails of the captured warrior.

    Fish Ball was left behind to illuminate the area and mark their location.

    In the Dimension Portal, seeing that Zhao Yao had left, Matcha heaved in relief. ¡°Gone, Zhao Yao is gone.¡± He took out this cell phone and said, ¡°Come everyone, who is joining my team for a game? I am going for the diamond level today.¡±

    Milk Tea hesitated for while and reminded him gently, ¡°Brother Matcha, Master Zhao wanted us to protect these people, is yingputer games a good idea?¡±

    ¡°What do you know, kiddo? Matcha red at Milk Tea and said, ¡°If we don¡¯t skive, how different are wepared to those silly dogs? I am choosing you as my team member. Come in quickly and support me.¡±

    Milk Tea had no choice but to take out his cell phone and y Mobile Legends with Matcha. While ying, he was taking note of the movements on the other side of the Dimension Portal in case there were any surprise attacks.

    Matcha eximed while ying, ¡°Milk Tea! Don¡¯tpete with me for the monsters!¡±

    ¡°Milk Tea! Don¡¯tpete with me for the kill count!¡±

    ¡°Milk Tea! Come and support me! The opponent is an expert yer disguising as a novice to bully newbies!¡±

    ¡°Milk Tea! Why did you kill all my opponents? Leave two for me to kill! Stealing my kill counts again!¡±

    Milk Tea was tired of Matcha¡¯s incessant nagging and sighed like a grown up. He thought to himself, ¡°My team is not easy to lead.¡±

    Diana rested on Elizabeth¡¯s back, her fur shedding all over the ce. She was frightened and said, ¡°That woman is very scary. This ce is scary. Do you think other ghosts areing?¡±

    Elizabeth rolled her eyes and said, ¡°If it is that scary, don¡¯t stay here.¡±

    Diana shook her head, her eyes glinting as she said, ¡°This is exciting. I am scared and yet I want to see.¡±

    Lightning was sizing up Diana and asked Cannon, ¡°Cannon, if I offer her 200 dors, do you think Diana will sleep with me?¡±

    ¡°Using money to sleep with her? That is lousy.¡± Cannon licked his tail and said, ¡°I bet with you 200 dors that you will fail, deal?¡±

    ¡°All you know is betting.¡± Lightning frowned.

    Fish Ball walked into the Dimension Portal towards Lightning and Cannon. He picked his nose and said, ¡°All you are thinking of is female cats. A real cat should sleep with a dog. I will sleep with a Tibetan Mastiff!¡±

    After Fish Ball entered the portal, everyone was blinded by his light rays in the Extradimensional Belly.

    ¡°Ah! My eyes!¡± Lightning covered his eyes and screamed, ¡°Fish Ball, you are tired of living. Who let youe in?! Don¡¯te over here!¡±

    Matcha probed his paws in front of his face like a blind man and said, ¡°Ah! I am blind! I am blind!¡±

    Seeing all the supercats covering their eyes and eximing, Fish Ball picked his nose and said, ¡°Humph, a group of trash.¡±

    In the next instant, Fish Ball was tossed out by Ares¡¯s Deflective Field. The Extradimensional Belly was back to normal.

    Fish Ball said angrily, ¡°What authority do you have in throwing me out?¡±

    Ares sneered, covering his eyes as he said, ¡°This is our home, not yours.¡±

    Elizabeth said, ¡°Zhao Yao wanted you to stay outside to illuminate the area. Who let youe in?¡±

    Fish Ball sprawled furiously on top of the Dimension Portal. He was refused entry by the Deflective Field and only a small portion of his light entered into the portal. The supercats hid from the light.

    Fish Ball was fuming as he stuck his face on the Deflective Field and said, ¡°You cannot bar me forever.¡±

    Elizabeth rolled her eyes and said, ¡°What are you doing? Beware of Zhao Yao shaving all your fur.¡±

    Fish Ball said, ¡°I am very bored, let Lightning and Cannon chat with me.¡±

    A minuteter, Cannon and Lightning were tossed out of the Dimension Portal.

    Cannon knocked on the Deflective Field and cried in sorrow, ¡°I don¡¯t have any fighting capability! Do not leave me out here! My life¡¯s at stake!¡±

    Fish Ball patted Cannon¡¯s shoulders and said, ¡°Take it easy. If you stay with me, nobody will touch you.¡±

    Cannon turned his head and screamed. Then he shut his eyes, rushed towards Fish Ball and bit him on the neck in a bad temper. ¡°It¡¯s all your fault! Why did you implicate me?¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile in the city, Edward and his apostles held Uncle Ho¡¯s apostles captive in a small hotel.

    More than ten of them were cramped in arge room and the floor was filled with torchlights from the supermarket. Everyone looked nervous and grave as they were fearful of the nights in Ox city.

    Seeing the fear in everyone, the white golden haired Edward smiled andforted everyone, ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous, the ghost may not find us. If we survive tonight, we will reach the well-equipped safe house. Then we will make contact with the outside world and leave this city safely.¡±

    He looked at the Asian who was tied to the bed. The Asian was an apostle from China.

    Edward was charismatic by nature so after hisforting words and seeing his confidence, everyone gradually rxed.

    Suddenly, the flushing of the cistern was heard.

    Everyone lifted their heads and looked in the direction of the dark bathroom.

    Edward swallowed his saliva and asked, ¡°Did anyone go to the bathroom?¡±

    Everyone looked at each other. No one was found missing.

    The cries of a baby rang out from the bathroom and everyone was so terrified that cold sweat dripped profusely.

    When they thought the ghost had found them, the main door, windows and the connecting walls fractured. A few dark figures rushed in and started shooting at Edward and his men.

    After the rupture of the main door, windows and the connecting walls, a few dark figures rushed into the room and started shooting at Edward and his men.

    Edward and his men were not normal people. They were already prepared when their enemies rushed in.

    The air was distorted as Psychokinesis was activated by Edward and his apostles. The bullets were shifted off their trajectories and they flew all over the ce, missing them.

    The attackers were not normal people either. After Edward and his apostles shifted the bullets via Psychokinesis, they immediate adjusted their aim and injured two of Edward¡¯s men.

    Edward sneered and he activated the full power of his Psychokinesis that propelled invisible energy in all directions. The men in ck were sted out of the room.

    He ordered, ¡°Davis, Miller, Garcia, stay here and watch over the prisoners. The rest of you, follow me...¡±

    His eyes glinted and he had only one thought, ¡°... Kill all of them.¡±

    Psychokinesis was activated to form a protective field that also aided their movements. The apostles leaped gently and were propelled out.

    Numerous gunshots and explosions were hearding from the outside.

    Old Ya, who was tied up, was depressed when he saw what had happened.

    This was not his first time witnessing Edward and his men activating Psychokinesis. Previously, Stream, Colt and Old Ya were attacked by Edward and he was captured by Edward¡¯s Psychokinesis.

    ¡°If only my superpower had not expired when I met them...¡± Old Ya sighed and listened to themotion outside. ¡°Seems like the attackers are not able to defeat Edward and his men.¡±

    The flushing sound of the cistern were heard from the bathroom. Old Ya and the guarding apostles were terrified and looked towards the bathroom.

    Because of the surprise attack, they had forgotten about the weird soundsing from the bathroom. They thought it was a distraction by the men in ck. Now the second flushing indicated that there was someone in the bathroom.

    The door of the bathroom creaked as it gradually opened.

    Zhao Yao walked out of the bathroom and carried Roly Poly in his arms. He stroked Roly Poly¡¯s head and said, ¡°Done? Are you at ease now?¡±

    Roly Poly licked his paws, washed his face, and replied, ¡°I had a hard time holding it in.¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned and said, ¡°I told you to relieve yourself beforeing out. When it is time for serious business, you want to relieve yourself. Can you be more professional? We are on an urgent mission.¡±

    Roly Poly was upset. Was the bathroom at the supermarket fit for a cat¡¯s use? It was so dirty that he was unwilling to let his leg touch the toilet bowl. He wanted to return to the Extradimensional Belly but Zhao Yao thought it was too troublesome.

    Sphynx cat looked at Roly Poly and smiled. ¡°Roly Poly, your kidneys are pretty good since you are able to hold so much urine.¡±

    Roly Poly gathered his wits and replied, ¡°I have been trained by Zhao Yao. I collect lots of urine everyday. If Uncle Egg does not wake me up to relieve myself, I will wet my bed.¡±

    Sphynx catughed heartily and said, ¡°This is tiresome. Let me give you a good massage to improve your kidneys.¡±

    Roly Poly cried as he said, ¡°No need, I don¡¯t need it. I am born like this. It is incurable.¡±

    The weird sounds that Edward and his men heard were created by Zhao Yao and Roly Poly. The baby¡¯s cries were Roly Poly¡¯s desperate meows when he was unable to hold his urine.

    Because of Roly Poly¡¯s activation of invisibility, everyone only saw a headless man in ck robe walking out suspiciously from the bathroom.

    Seeing a headless ghost, the three apostles were terrified. Their eyes popped out with wariness. The ck man, Davis, activated his Psychokinesis and ced Old Ya behind him as he was getting ready to flee.

    They had encountered many ghost attacks that were progressively more difficult to deal with. The abilities of the ghosts were strange and unpredictable. Some were not able to be killed so they fled rather than fought.

    After listening to Zhao Yao¡¯s words, the three of them heaved in relief.

    ¡°Hey, are you from China? Your name¡¯s Old Ya?¡± Zhao Yao talked to the old man who was tied up.

    Old Ya¡¯s eyes glimmered for a short while before losing its glint. He asked anxiously, ¡°Are you an apostle from China too? Quickly flee before they return. Don¡¯t worry about me!¡±

    The ck man Davis grinned maliciously and said, ¡°You are an apostle from China? Trying to scare us, aren¡¯t you? Prepare to die!¡±

    The three apostles activated their Psychokinesis to crush Zhao Yao.

    A loud explosion ensued as the crushing force shot forward. It was as though the air was frozen and then exploded.

    Zhao raised his brow and activated the Deflective Field. A potent force was propelled towards the three apostles.

    As the two opposing forces collided, David, Miller, and Garcia were shocked as they felt they were not pitted against an opponent. It was as though they had crashed headlong into the boundless ocean.

    ¡°What... what kind of a force is that?¡±

    The Psychokinesis abruptly copsed and the three apostles fell to the ground. Blood spilled out from their wounds before they passed out.

    Zhao Yao looked at the dumbstruck Old Ya and asked with concern, ¡°Are you all right? Are you injured?¡± He was worth some experience points so Zhao Yao could not afford to lose him.

    Although Old Ya was not injured, Zhao Yao let Lucifer heal him. Saving a person was worth 200 experience points so Zhao Yao had to take care of them.

    After healing Old Ya, Zhao Yao walked to the window and surveyed the battle outside.

    Edward was protected by the invisible Psychokinesis while he dashed left and right in the bulletstorm. He demolished walls and overturned vehicles like a miniature Gundam.

    The men in ck were far superior than a normal person in terms of agility, reaction time, and coordination. However, their continuous attack were not able to prate Edward¡¯s defences. Soon they were defeated one by one and were in a precarious situation.

    Edward grabbed the air and lifted the man in ck who was shooting at him. He waved his palm and pressed the man¡¯s head into a brick wall. He sneered at his opponents who were getting weaker by the moment.

    ¡°A pile of trash who came to steal the tiger¡¯s whisker.¡±

    As the men in ck were neutralized, a truck sped from afar and crashed into Edward with a loud bang.

    The increased Psychokinesis shoved the truck aside. Edward pointed his torch over and asked coldly, ¡°Who is it?¡±

    In the darkness, a few scrawny, short and dark guys walked out. They were a team of apostles from Southeast Asia. The youth that was leading them, his hands were tied with in bandage and his face was filled with numerous scars. It was their national hero inbat, Bason.

    Bason smiled superficially and said, ¡°Edward, hand over the Chinese man and get lost.¡±

    Edward knew Bason and his gang. They were a bunch of foreign apostles who were active in Southeast Asia. They had members from many countries. They did not take a stand. They only recognized money. They were normally only involved in small issues. It was unexpected for them to turn up after receiving news about the meteorite fragments.

    In order to get the meteorite fragment, Bason was determine to get the Chinese apostle.

    When Edward saw that Bason had appeared, he was nervous. Bason had a bigger reputation than him. It was a reputation earned from the lives and blood of apostles.

    Basonughed coldly when he saw Edward hesitate. ¡°You look unsatisfied?¡± He spoke as he walked up to him. He stretched his neck and let out a menacing grin.

    Edward¡¯s face changed. ¡°Hey, Bason! We can talk it out ...¡±

    Bason roared, crushed the cement below him, then charged towards Edward like a mad elephant.

    Edward frowned and could only retaliate. He concentrated his thoughts and his Psychokinesis swept towards Bason.

    However, Bason, who was an experienced fighter, could feel Edward¡¯s attack beforehand. He jumped up and as the floor below him crumpled. He dodged the attacks like a lightning bolt. The Psychokinesis missed him.

    With the power of steel bones, Bason had a faster speed and stronger power than Edward. He charged towards Edward like a truck.

    Edward howled and arger wave of Psychokinesis swept over him. However, due to the distribution of power, Bason still managed to charge towards him. Bason passed through the Psychokic wall like a breeze, grabbed onto Edward¡¯s head and mmed it towards the ground.

    Apanied by a loud explosion, the floor around him expanded and countless stones exploded and shot in all directions.

    Bason held onto Edward¡¯s head, which was covered in blood. He red at Edward¡¯s men and his men, who were originally restless and had wanted to save Edward but backed off.

    ¡°Losers have no rights to negotiate,¡± Bason ordered coldly. ¡°Hand the person over.¡±

    They hesitated. They wanted to attack but they didn¡¯t dare to. They looked at Edward who was in Bason¡¯s hands and decided to give up.

    ¡°Okay. We can hand the person to you. However, you have to promise to let us go.¡±

    Bason nodded. ¡°No problem.¡±

    When they were negotiating, they felt a bright light shine into their eyes. A bright golden light appeared on top of a building hundreds of meter away. It was like a gigantic light bulb giving off luminous golden light. When they looked in the light¡¯s direction, they could vaguely see someone looking at them from the light.

    Then, the golden light flew on top of everyone. There were a dozen blond haired, blue-eyed apostles wrapped in golden light looking down at them.

    ¡°People from the Holy Light...¡± Bason looked at the people solemnly and thought, ¡®Why are they here? Aren¡¯t they always active in Europe? When did theye to Asia?¡¯

    The Holy Light was another very strong superpower organization. They were on par with the French Kensei, British Protoss, American Star Cats and the Japan Special Higher Police.

    Edward and his men looked at the apostles in the sky and their face fell pale.

    The Holy Light¡¯s name had resounded throughout the supernatural realm over the past two years. It was one of Europe¡¯s top supernatural organizations. They were famous for their Holy Light power that could heal and attack at the same time.

    This time, the 15 Holy Light apostles borrowed the power and sat on a 15 hour ne ride to get to OX city just for the meteorite fragments.

    As there were only a few hours left, their actions were very simple and crude. They would catch anyone they saw on the streets and interrogate them to find the Chinese apostles.

    When they saw themotion there, they flew over and wanted to snatch the Chinese apostle.

    In the golden light, the middle-aged man in lead asked, ¡°Are you guys fighting over a Chinese apostle?¡±

    ¡°It has nothing got to do with you guys,¡± Bason answered. ¡°This is not Europe. We have taken this Chinese apostle. Go look for another one.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± The middle-aged man frowned and looked at the dark and scrawny Bason. He did not bother to reply and mmed his palm down. A huge golden beam descended from the sky and smacked Bason.

    Bam! Bason fell to the ground and after roaring. He stood up under the Holy Light and yelled, ¡°You guys will regret this!¡±

    Bason and the apostles from Holy Light fought. But the apostles from Holy Light could levitate, attack from afar and had healing powers. Fighting Bason and his men was as easy as hitting cockroaches.

    Instantly, the Southeast Asian apostles were on the floor and Bason was defeated by five Holy Light apostles. Bason was covered in golden light and lifted into the air. Although he was yelling and struggling, he could not escape.

    The middle-aged man man from Holy Light nodded and looked at Edward and his men.

    Ever since the Holy Light came, Edward¡¯s men were frightened like mice. They did not dare to move, needless to say attack.

    Upon seeing that Bason and his men were defeated by the Holy Light apostles, they looked at Philip and his men in awe.

    Philip asked, ¡°Where is the Chinese apostle?¡±

    Edward, who was badly injured, answered immediately. ¡°He is in the hotel room that we stayed in. Ourpanion is guarding him. He is there!¡± He pointed at the hotel room that had several holes in the wall.

    Philip nodded and he grabbed the Psychokinesis apostles who were on the floor including Edward. He lifted them up and floated towards the hotel.

    When he was halfway through, he suddenly stopped and looked at the building not far away. The golden light in his eyes illuminated as he looked at the women in white who was standing on the rooftop. Her hair was drifting with the wind as it covered her face, exposing her blood red eyes, staring in their direction.

    There were ruffling from the darkness and all sorts of weird figures showed up in the darkness. They surrounded the hotel behind Holy Light.

    ¡°Ghost... Ghost! So many ghost! Did we attract them because of the fight?¡± Edward was shocked. ¡°Why are they so many of them? No, there are too many of them. We have to escape!¡±

    ¡°Shut up.¡± Philip ordered coldly and looked towards the darkness. ¡°Are they here for us? Aren¡¯t they great at picking opponents?¡±

 Chapter 745: Ghosts and Monsters

    <h4>Chapter 745: Ghosts and Monsters</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    In the darkness, more and more ghosts in monstrous forms came out.

    There were some human centipedes with their butts joined to their heads crawling over the walls and some ferocious-looking human bats flying across the sky with huge bat wings attached to their bodies.

    There were also mummy-like things all wrapped in bandages, pacing around with poison dripping from their bodies. Every drop of poison thatnded on the ground immediately eroded the spot and left a trail of huge holes behind them.

    On the streets, zombies with exposed brains and rotting wounds all over their bodies crawled around slowly.

    On the roof, several female ghosts covered in white cloaks floated around asionally passing through walls as if they were formless.

    All sorts of ghosts and monstrous beings emerged from the darkness, sending chills down the spines of the Holy Light apostles as well as Edward and his men.

    Right at that moment, Philip cracked his head and pointed his finger, shooting out aser-like beam of golden light which collided with a huge dog that had jumped out of the building window.

    The huge dog that was shot by the golden light screamed in agony as it slumped on the floor. As everyone fixed their gaze on the dog, they could see that the dog was around two meters tall and coated with something ck and muddy all over. One by one, the heads of men and women, young and old, emerged from the mud, making gut-wrenching screams for help.

    These screams alone were enough to invoke fear amongst all who were there. The urge to turn and run away on the spot was real.

    ¡°What kind of ghastly thing is this?¡± Philip frowned when he saw that. Another ray of holy light descended from the sky, striking the big ck dog directly. The holy light that was able to tten a car and even suppress Bason only made the big ck dog stumble and reel backwards at that moment. The dog red viciously at Philip before retreating back into the darkness.

    Philip¡¯s heart sank at the sight before him. He could not even kill a dog... Looking at the countless ghosts and monsters lurking in the dark, even if their powers could not match up to that of the dog, there were too many of them to deal with.

    ¡°These ghosts and monsters are difficult to deal with. We battled with them before. Basically no matter what we did they could not be killed. Every ghost has a bizarre power which we mostly can¡¯t guard ourselves against or counter with our abilities.¡± Edward was very scared that Philip would act rashly since he had not encountered these monsters before and might not understand the gravity of the situation. He continued to advise anxiously, ¡°If we are stopped by them, it would just attract more of them over here. Let¡¯s just retreat for now.¡±

    ¡°Bizarre powers?¡± Philip nodded in agreement. He was reminded of the screams from the big ck dog which gave him the urge to run away as well. That was indeed a bizarre power.

    ¡°Edward is right,¡± Bason, who was still restrained, remarked coldly, ¡°The ghosts and monsters in OX city have be endemic to this part of Vietnam. Troops have been activated on several asions but they were all met with defeat. If you guys don¡¯t retreat now, you will definitely die.¡±

    ¡°We can¡¯t retreat anymore,¡± Philip said in a serious tone. ¡°We¡¯ve been targeted.¡±

    As Philip said that, the ghosts and monsters lurking in the dark screamed ghoulishly at them in unison. The screams of thousands of ghosts resounded in the dead of the night as if it were a chorus from Hell. After the ghosts and monsters screamed at the sky, they turned their gazes on Philip andpany watching as they broke out in cold sweat.

    A person standing on stage might feel nervous to give a speech in front of hundreds of people, let alone in that situation. The fear and terror felt from thousands of ghosts and monsters masked in the dark under the night sky staring at them was overwhelming.

    Even Bason who was restrained by the Holy Light could not help breaking out in cold sweat as he thought, ¡°These guys from Holy Light, how did they provoke these ghastly things?¡±

    ¡°They¡¯reing,¡± Philip shouted, ¡°Defense formation! Unleash the holy light at full force! We will break out of this siege!¡±

    Bam!

    Rays of golden light burst out like mes from the 15 apostles of Holy Light,yering and adding onto each other¡¯s powers and floating upwards as if a shing golden sun had risen in the night sky.

    The next moment, the burst of golden light rays began to shrink and becamepact. The more it shrank, the thicker and richer its golden color before it finally turned into the form of a golden pce which encapsted all the people at the scene.

    Philip quietly let out a breath in relief at thepletion of the defense formation. The next moment, thousands of ghosts and monsters roared around them as they charged forward in unison surrounding them in all directions.

    All sorts of bizarre-looking and bone-chilling ghosts and monsters charged at them at once. More bizarre-looking creatures joined in the army of ghosts and monsters from rows of houses and the gutters below them, swarming forward in waves.

    Philip and the rest looked up at the sky which seemed to have been engulfed by a tsunami of monsters and ghosts that were closing in on them.

    Looking at the terrifying scene before them, all the apostles in Holy Light were aghast. Could they really survive against such a terrifying army of monsters?

    Bason shook his head repeatedly as he gasped, ¡°How did this happen? The ghosts and monsters in OX city have actually amassed to such rming numbers? What are the troops in Vietnam doing?!¡±

    Just as everyone thought they were going to be swallowed whole by the mass of attacking ghosts and monsters, they realized that the army of ghosts and monsters just crossed over their heads and headed straight for the hotel behind them.

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°Where are they going?¡±

    ¡°These ghosts and monsters aren¡¯t targeting us!¡±

    Philip, Edward, Bason, and the rest stared in astonishment as the army of ghosts and monsters that could fill the whole Yangtze River flew over their heads towards the hotel.

    However, just a second before the army was about to break the outer walls and windows apart and barge into the hotel, everyone subconsciously felt that the army of ghosts and monsters had stopped just for that moment in time.

    The next moment, rays of silver light shed across the sky and enveloped the whole army of ghosts and monsters. Thousands of ghosts were sliced apart by an invisible de, dropping from the sky in chunks which fell to the ground as if it was raining.

    The whole army of ghosts and monsters stopped in their tracks at that moment, as if they were stunned by the terrifying attack.

    Zhao Yao strolled out of a big hole that had been sted open and walked up into the sky with every step he took. Under the control of the Deflective Field, the vibrating Murasama de that Rice Cake had turned into fluttered around him like an obedient puppy.

    Rice Cake asked curiously, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, aren¡¯t you flying upwards? Why are you pretending to walk?¡±

    ¡°This is the same as ring your fur in a battle to boost your battle aura.¡± Cheese, who had turned into the cloak, immediately interjected, ¡°Zhao Yao is acting like he is very powerful.¡±

    Zhao Yao was enraged as he scolded them telepathically, ¡°Shut up, you¡¯re disturbing me in the battle.¡±

    Next, Zhao Yao scanned the army of ghosts and monsters before him. He then turned his gaze on the seemingly obscure Philip, Edward, Bason and the people around them.

    Philip stared in astonishment at the Headless Horseman floating in the sky, ¡°This is a ghost too? Are these ghosts and monsters having an internal battle?¡±

 Chapter 746: The Assault and Reassembling

    <h4>Chapter 746: The Assault and Reassembling</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    Philip and hispany mistook Zhao Yao for a ghost. This was partly because of his current get-up as well as the fact that the Headless Horseman identity had yet to be famous outside of his region so when he went overseas no one knew of him.

    Hence, when Philip and the rest saw Zhao Yao appear, they all thought that it was an internal battle amongst ghosts and monsters.

    When the army of ghosts and monsters saw the Headless Horseman appear, an uproar began as well.

    An ear-splitting scream reverberated throughout the battlefield. Philip and hispany could not help covering their ears at the sound as they looked in the direction of the scream.

    It was the female ghost in white with blood-red eyes that Philip and the rest had seen previously. She was screaming with her head facing the sky as her long ck hair flew despite the absence of wind as if a ck me erupted around her.

    Seeing as the female ghost in white red at him with vicious hatred in her eyes, Zhao Yao was stunned for a moment before he recovered himself. ¡°This gal, she looks a little like the long tongue ghost earlier on. Is she here to avenge her? But how did she know it¡¯s me?¡±

    At the thought of this, he could help but shout at the female ghost in white, ¡°Hey...¡±

    However, just as he shouted out ¡®hey¡¯, Roly Poly, who was perched on his shoulder invisibility quickly reminded him, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao! Don¡¯t speak in Chinese. We could still erase the memories of those 3 foreigners but with so many people around now it would be too troublesome to erase all their memories.¡±

    Zhao Yao was stunned. He had almost exposed his identity. At that moment, everyone turned to look at him, even the female ghost, with that one shout.

    Zhao Yao thought for a bit before he said, ¡°Anihaseyo (annyeonghaseyo)?¡±

    The whole crowd was stunned the moment he said that.

    Edward whispered, ¡°He¡¯s talking? Isn¡¯t he headless? So these ghosts canmunicate with each other?¡±

    Bason, ¡°What is he saying?¡±

    Edward screamed, ¡°I think it¡¯s Korean!¡± He turned and stared at hisrades, ¡°Jace, don¡¯t you understand Korean? What is he saying?¡±

    In that instant, everyone turned to look at the ck man called Jace who suddenly felt an intense burden ced on his shoulders. He cursed in his heart, ¡°What the f*ck? You still remember the b*llshit I said when I was drunk a few months ago?¡±

    However, seeing how Edward, Bason, Philip, and the rest were staring at him and even the female ghost with her blood-red eyes, Jace felt that he had no choice but to pretend like he knew.

    He thought for a while, before he uttered hesitatingly, ¡°He meant to say... What are you staring at?¡±

    Edward replied, ¡°Ah?¡±

    Philip continued, ¡°Is he taunting her?¡±

    Bason was hesitant: ¡°Are you sure?¡±

    Jace nodded immediately and continued, ¡°After I retired from being a hired assassin I went to Korea for my undergraduate studies. I graduated from Seoul University. How could I not understand Korean?¡±

    Seeing as the crowd was convinced, Jace cursed again in his heart, ¡°I just casually spun some lie and you all just took my word for it. What assassin? I was just a pizza delivery man. The people from these organizations are seriously too unreliable. I should go to America to take my chances after I escape from here.¡±

    Just as they were whispering among themselves, the red-eyed female ghost had already roared, ¡°Kill him! Finish him off!¡±

    The army of ghosts and monsters mobilized immediately and paused for a moment before charging towards Zhao Yao like waves rolling towards him.

    The ghosts and monsters that had been sliced apart like vegetables by Zhao Yao earlier on gathered back into their original forms like bits of mercury merging together. They looked totally unharmed.

    Edward sighed, ¡°This is the trickiest part about these monsters. They can¡¯t be killed.¡±

    Philip was worried by the sight before him as well.

    Zhao Yao was a little surprised when he saw the ghosts and monsters returning to their original forms and joining theirrades in the attack.

    ¡°They could actually return back to their original forms? So the leather shoe ghost and the long tongue ghost didn¡¯t die in my hands after all,¡± Zhao Yao thought as he flicked the sword and his fingers lightly. The silver Rice Cake-Vibrating Sword beside him shot out at once and zapped across the army of ghosts and monsters like bolts of lightning. Where the bolts had passed, countless ghosts and monsters crumbled into pieces.

    Within a few seconds, the ghosts and monsters within a few hundred meters of Zhao Yao were wiped out. The scene looked exactly as if a piece of a continent had gone missing from the world map.

    However, under themand of the red-eyed female ghost, the remaining ghosts and monsters did not show any sign of retreating. The ghosts that were hacked into pieces continued to join back in the mob after they reassembled into their original forms.

    Hence, more and more ghosts and monsters encircled Zhao Yao and attacked relentlessly. The silver light from the sword de seemed to have joined together to form a circle of silver de light. Even then, the army of ghosts and monsters still managed to inch closer and closer to where Zhao Yao was.

    ¡°Normal physical cuts seem to have little effect on them.¡± Seeing how a zombie that was split opened slowly reassembled and reformed itself, Zhao Yao thought, ¡°I have to try a different method.¡±

    As he thought of that, the silver Rice Cake-Vibrating Sword continued to zap across the air, traversing to and fro as it sliced up the army of ghosts and monsters.

    However, as more and more ghosts and monsters charged towards them, the range of the sword circle started shrinking.

    Rice Cake screamed in rm, ¡°Zhao Yao! Are we stopping with all the slicing soon? It¡¯s so painful!¡±

    Cheese, who had turned into the cloak immediately shouted back, ¡°Rice Cake, don¡¯t say such things.¡±

    ¡°Then what should I say?¡± Rice Cake asked. ¡°Zhao Yao, stop slicing them. I can¡¯t take it.¡±

    ¡°Rice Cake! You!¡± Cheese sighed though he was secretly ted, ¡°Rice Cake is cute like this too!¡±

    Zhao Yao was exasperated, ¡°Okay okay, you cane back.¡±

    As he said that, he had already retracted the silver de light.

    As the silver de light disappeared, the army of ghosts and monsters charged straight ahead but stopped in the next moment as all of them seemed to have bumped into an invisible wall.

    Zhao Yao had activated the Deflective Field and extended its range, hitting every ghost and monster as if it was swatting flies. All the ghosts and monsters crashed right into the Deflective Field, enveloping the full range of it.

    At this rate, even Zhao Yao¡¯s Deflective Field would not be able to resist the relentless attacks. However, at the next moment, a freezing wave had burst out from the Deflective Field as it extended its range.

    A freezing wave with a temperature of -60 degrees assaulted the army of ghosts and monsters. Each and every ghost and monster started to freeze immediately before dropping to the ground in frozen blocks.

    Sensing the unfavorable situation before them, the army of ghosts and monsters began to retreat. The ghosts and monsters that hadnded beyond the range of the Deflective Field quickly regained their mobility, making Zhao Yao frown deeply.

    ¡°What on earth are these things? I can¡¯t hack them or freeze them still. How is their vitality so strong?¡±

    Even so, the army of ghosts and monsters did not charge recklessly into the area of the Deflective Field that was -60 degrees again. They just circled around the area and gathered more closely, forming a strong barrier around the parameters of the Deflective Field.

    Just as Zhao Yao was still trying to figure out what these things were, a voice rang in his heart as it spoke, ¡°Get away from here, Headless Horseman. Don¡¯t interfere with the situation here anymore.¡±

    ¡°Eh?¡± Zhao Yao was confused, ¡°Who are you? Are you talking to me?¡±

    ¡°I am Kun Wu,¡± that voice continued. ¡°The n in OX city concerns the future of the universe. Leave, Headless Horseman. Don¡¯t do something that you will regret.¡±

    ¡°Kun Wu?¡± Zhao Yao immediately recalled the bizarre cat he saw in Xu Guanyuan¡¯s basement.

    Zhao Yao even remembered what he looked like.

    Its entire body was filled with deep blue sea-colored fur and its four legs stomped with fiery mes. A single horn sprouted from his head and asionally shed with lightning.

    ¡°Kun Wu, where are you?¡± Zhao Yao said with excitement. ¡°Do you want toe out and talk?¡± He walked around and searched for Kun Wu.

    ¡°That cat looks extraordinary.¡± Zhao Yao was excited. ¡°I want it! I feel like catching it!¡±

    Kun Wu¡¯s voice rang in Zhao Yao¡¯s head again. ¡°Stop looking for me. I ammunicating to you from a thousand miles away. You can¡¯t find me.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Zhao Yao lifted the bed and moved towards the nearby closet, desk, and chair. He sniffed around and listened carefully, trying to find the location of Kun Wu¡¯s hiding spot.

    While Zhao Yao searched he said, ¡°Why don¡¯t youe out? I want to be friends with you. Do you want to eat canned salmon? I have catmint made with superpowers. It is delicious.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t tempt me like a normal cat!¡± Kun Wu said with disgust. ¡°I am a Cat Goddess! And stop looking around! I said that I am far away!¡±

    Bam! Zhao Yao sted a hole through the hotel floor and saw that on the floor below, the dark blue Kun Wu with a horn on its head was lying on the bed.

    Kun Wu had dipped one of her paws into the can beside her and wanted to lick it. She had the other paw on a television remote control.

    When she saw Zhao Yao st open a hole, Kun Wu¡¯s body stiffened and they stared at each other awkwardly.

    Eventually, Old Ya walked up and was surprised when he saw Kun Wu on the sofa. ¡°What cat is this? Looks really pretty.¡±

    Kun Wu stood up slowly and the horn on her head started shing while mes erupted from the paws.

    ¡°I am Kun Wu! The Cat Goddess!¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°There is no such thing asmunicating from thousand miles away. You have been talking to me telepathically, right?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know what you are talking about.¡± Kun Wu raised her head and said proudly. ¡°Headless Horseman, you better leave. The n that is underway in OX city concerns the safety of humans and the future of the Earth. No one can stop it.¡±

    Then, Kun Wu turned around and scolded Zhao Yao who was rubbing her tail. ¡°Human! What are you doing!¡±

    ¡°Your fur feels simr to a normal cat¡¯s fur but it is really dark blue. It is not dyed fur!¡± Zhao Yao stroke Kun Wu¡¯s tail and went for her head.

    ¡°You! You! You!¡±Kun Wu was so angry that the mes grew taller. ¡°What are you doing! Do you think that I am a normal cat... Meow!!¡±

    When Kun Wu was stroked by Zhao Yao, she meowed and her eyes could not help but bunch up.

    ¡°Wow!¡± Zhao Yao looked at her head. ¡°At first I thought that with a horn, it would be difficult to stroke her. Who knew that with the horn it is nice to stroke her head too.¡±

    ¡°Enough!¡± Angered, Kun Wu backed off by three meters and red at Zhao Yao. ¡°Headless Horseman, you are being sphemous...¡±

    Meow! Kun Wu went for the cat stick in Zhao Yao¡¯s hands when she was halfway through her sentence.

    ¡°Meo!¡± After Kun Wu hit the cat stick, she puffed up her cheeks and her eyes were filled with tears that looked like they were fall any moment.

    She scream and numerous mes appeared behind her, forming a passageway. She turned and escaped into the passageway.

    ¡°Hey! Don¡¯t go!¡± Zhao Yao tried to grab onto her but his hand passed through her like a phantom. He activated the Deflective Field at the same time and swept over her but he caught nothing. He could only watch Kun Wu disappear into the passageway and then the mes disappeared too leaving Zhao Yao staring nkly at the room.

    ¡°The Deflective Field can¡¯t catch her too? Is it some kind of dimension power?¡± Zhao Yao said in pity. It was like throwing a pokeball and missing the pokemon.

    Then he recalled what Kun Wu had said. ¡°Have the supernatural urrences in OX city anything to do with her? Her powers do not look like they have something to do with it. There is someone else? Some other cat?¡±

    Rice Cake, who had turned into Murasama de on Zhao Yao¡¯s waist, looked at Zhao Yao who was in deep thought. From time to time he would smile lewdly and seemed to be still thinking of the cat he had just seen. Rice Cakeughed coldly. ¡°Guys.¡±

    Cheese said, ¡°Rice Cake, I am not like Zhao Yao. I do not pick up girls outside.¡±

    Roly Poly, who was on Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulders,ined to himself. ¡°Stupid sisterplex. Thest time I saw him use the cat litter that was used by Rice Cake.¡±

    Rice Cake said out of exasperation. ¡°Zhao Yao! Are you done? Steam is having a summer promotion now! I want to buy my game!¡±

    ¡°Aye, the cats now...¡± Zhao Yao shook his head. ¡°They can demand to y games. The money you spend is money earned with with my blood and sweat.¡±

    Roly Poly thought to himself, ¡°Yeah, money sttered with many cats¡¯ and people¡¯s blood and sweat.¡±

    Zhao Yao flew into the sky and was surrounded by the Deflective Field. The ghosts froze in the negative 60 temperature and he managed to escape.

    Looking at the ghost army that was going to surround him again, a Dimension Portal opened behind Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Look at my infinite cat control...¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, Philip and his men saw that Zhao Yao was surrounded and was squashed into a ball-like structure. All the ghosts look like they were trying squeeze him further which made Philip and his men wonder what the situation was like inside.

    Bason asked, ¡°Why could the Headless man speak Korean? Is he human or ghost?¡±

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if he is human or ghost.¡± Edward shook his head. ¡°Surrounded by so many ghosts, he is going to die.¡± He looked at Philip who was by the side and advised, ¡°Let¡¯s escape before the ghosts notice us. If they surround us again, we will all die.¡±

    Philip was hesitating. The ghost army in front of him had showcased extremely strong powers and the internal conflict within the ghosts seemed to hide the secret of how OX city had be like this. He could not let this chance go.

    Philip said, ¡°Let¡¯s wait for five minutes. If there are no changes in five minutes, we will go...¡±

    Before five minutes were up, there was amotion in the ghost army then a figure charged out from the ball and stood in mid air.

    When everyone thought that another fight was about to ur, to Philip and the other¡¯s surprise, the ghosts started retreating.

 Chapter 748: Retreat

    <h4>Chapter 748: Retreat</h4>

    ¡°Retreat?¡±

    Zhao Yao was also surprised as he got ready to attack. He watched the ghosts disperse in all directions and was at a loss.

    The red eyed female ghost looked at Zhao Yao and snarled unwillingly. Eventually, she passed through the walls and disappeared into the cement.

    Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°So the mutation of OX city is indeed rted to Kun Wu? She asked the ghosts to retreat? So if I search for the root cause of this mutation in OX city, I will be able to find Kun Wu. And if I find Kun Wu, I will be able to settle the mutation in OX city, find the rest of the soldiers, and the meteorite fragment.

    The ghost army retreated faster than they hade. In an instant, all of them disappeared into the darkness and left Philip, Edward, Bason, and others dumbfounded.

    Zhao Yao flew in front of them and wanted to ask if they had saw any other Chinese apostles.

    He thought about it and said, ¡°Ahsiba#£¤%...&*¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at them and thought further about his Korean. ¡°Ever since myst trip to Japan, I have practiced my Korean. I even have the ent from the Gangnam district of Seoul. There should be no ws even if I am talking to a Korean.

    If no one understands Korean then I shall speak English. I will hide my identity and it will not affectmunication. Perfect.¡±

    If anyone was able to associate him with the Headless Horseman, it was none of Zhao Yao¡¯s business. He hid his identity so as to not give other countries an excuse to find trouble. Privately, it did not matter if they suspected him.

    After Zhao Yao spoke, Philip, Edward and the others looked towards Jace. ¡°What did he say?¡±

    Jace rubbed his head and said hesitatingly. ¡°... I think he wants ask to get lost or he will kill us.¡±

    They looked at each other and they were infuriated.

    ¡°What?¡± Zhao Yao was stunned. Although they didn¡¯t know what he was talking about. He understood the English they were talking. What proficiency of Korean was that? All he did was to greet them. Did they think that he wanted to kill their entire family?

    He thought of the possibility of them understanding Korean or not understanding Korean. He never expected that there will be someone pretending to understand Korean.

    He spoke in English, ¡°Enough, I am asking if you guys have seen other Chinese apostles?¡±

    Now, Philip and the rest understood. Edward asked in surprise, ¡°You are looking for Chinese apostles too?¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed loudly. ¡°Of course! All the meteorite fragments in the world came from my country, Korea. Now, we are here to take them back.¡±

    All of them were shocked. Korea wanted to collect all the meteorite fragments? This person just fought with the ghost army and made them retreat by himself. When did Korea have such strong apostles?

    Philip said coldly, ¡°You guys want to collect all the meteorite fragments in the world? Then what if they are with other organizations? Now, the ce with the most meteorite fragments is the United States. Are you guys going to attack the Americans?¡±

    The rest of them waited for Zhao Yao¡¯s reply curiously.

    Zhao Yao shouted, ¡°So, what if it is the United States? Korea has the strongest powers in the world! One day we will get the meteorite fragments back from the Americans! But now, I will take back the meteorite fragment in OX city first.¡±

    Then, he did not wait for them to react and activated illusion to interrogate them.

    ¡°Humph, one mouthful of kimchi and one mouthful of shit. Anyone that doesn¡¯t speak can eat until they die.¡±

    Under Zhao Yao¡¯s torture, they looked at Zhao Yao, humiliated, and told him everything they knew.

    Philip was ashamed and angry as he watched Zhao Yao leave. He was forty plus and had never been met with such treatment. This was the biggest disgrace in his life. He never wanted to see Kimchi ever again.

    Thinking of it, he started vomiting again, looked at his men, and ordered fiercely. ¡°No one is to speak of what happened today.¡±

    He looked at where Zhao Yao had stood and said with hatred, ¡°Korean...¡±

    Edward, Bason, and the rest were also filled with hatred and disgust. They were not going to let it go and were going to investigate the headless apostle after they got back.

    Just when they were thinking of revenge, Zhao Yao came back again.

    Looking at Zhao Yao, Philip squeezed a smile and asked, ¡°Is there anything else?¡±

    Zhao Yao rubbed his chin and said, ¡°I thought about it. I can¡¯t let you guys affect my mission. What if you guys seek revenge?¡±

    Upon hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s tone, Philip shook his head hurriedly. ¡°How could it be? We...¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head and activated the illusion and ripped Philip and the rest of their five senses. When they fell to the floor, Zhao Yao changed to Deflective Field and whacked them on the back of their heads.

    It was enough for them to stay unconscious for the next dozen of hours. By then, they would have lost their powers and would no longer be a hindrance for Zhao Yao.

    Maybe after a dozen hours, Zhao Yao would be back in China with the meteorite fragment.

    Not long after Zhao Yao left, many ghosts crawled out from the darkness and sniffed Philip and the rest. Then, they carried the apostles and ran back into the darkness.

    ...

    Zhao Yao brought Old Ya to reunite with Thunder and the rest. Zhao Yao rubbed his chin and thought about what to do next.

    The interrogation was not very useful.

    Philip and his men had just arrived at OX city and did not know much important information. However, Edward and Bason knew some things that Philip did not.

    Like Bason had met with a team of Chinese apostles but they still had their powers then so they did not approach them. They wanted to return after a while to see if the apostles still had their powers but they realized that the apostles were gone.

    ording to the clues they left behind, the apostles may have gone into the sewers to get underground.

    Edward, however, had known that they tried to leave the city through the underground tunnels but foundrge amounts of ghosts.

    The ghosts would hide underground when the sun rose. When Edward met them. They almost could not escape and several men were sacrificed.

    Zhao Yao analyzed his newly collected information. He thought that the meteorite fragment and the base of the ghosts may be underground. Because of that, the team of Chinese apostles wanted to go down andplete their mission before their powers expired.

    ¡°Since it is like this, I shall go down and take a look.¡±

 Chapter 749: Underground

    <h4>Chapter 749: Underground</h4>

    Zhao Yao decided to go underground and break into the base of the ghosts to look for the Chinese apostles, the meteorite fragment and Kun Wu. However, he could not give up on the apostles above the ground.

    Deep underground was more dangerous than on the ground. This could not be taken lightly.

    After some consideration, he asked Dust Ball to leave Thunder and his men a Dimension Portal so that the other supercats could protect them.

    Then, Dust Ball would follow Zhao Yao with the remaining two Dimension Portals. This way, when the supercats were protecting Thunder and his men, they could support Zhao Yao too.

    Dust Ball looked at the two Dimension Portals beside him that were following Zhao Yao then looked at the other Dimension Portal that was beside Thunder and his men to protect them.

    If anything happened, Zhao Yao could hide in the Extradimensional Belly or help Thunder and his men.

    Sphynx cat was left behind by Zhao Yao to help survey the surroundings.

    After preparing all of this, Zhao Yao told Thunder that he was going underground to look for the target.

    He found a sewer entrance and brought Roly Poly in. He was wearing the Cheese Cloak and Dust Ball was looking after Thunder and controlling the Dimension Portal to follow Zhao Yao.

    As for Rice Cake, since the ghosts were not afraid of physical attacks, due to her protests, Zhao Yao let her go back to the Extradimensional Belly.

    Zhao Yao was thinking of ways to deal with the ghosts.

    ¡°Normal attacks are useless against them. I wonder if it requires a lot of energy to reassemble. The Deflective Field¡¯s low temperature was effective against them although it could not kill them.¡± Zhao Yao thought about it, ¡°If only I could get a few of them to experiment with. Then, I would know what is the most effective way to attack.¡±

    Upon hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s mutters, Roly Poly who was on his shoulder touched his eye mask and coughed. When he saw that Zhao Yao was still thinking of a solution, he coughed again and started to touch his eye mask.

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Roly Poly, are you sick?¡±

    ¡°No...¡±Roly Poly was touching his eye mask continuously and said,¡±These ghosts are so hard to deal with, I think we can only deal with them in an unexpected and unconventional way.¡±

    He touched his eye mask and thought to himself, ¡°Haha, it is finally my turn to showcase my abilities.¡±

    Honestly, every time he saw Sphynx cat, Ares and Elizabeth battling and helping deal with the enemy, he was envious.

    After all, his abilities were mainly assisting powers and did not have strong offense.

    Ever since he had the Dog Eye, Roly Poly was eager to show his abilities. Especially after seeing that even Fish Ball could do it, he wanted to prove himself to Zhao Yao.

    ¡°I, Roly Poly, have potential to be a great warrior.¡±

    When Zhao Yao saw Roly Poly touching his eye mask continuously, he paused and shouted, ¡°Oh ya, Roly Poly! Your eye!¡±

    Roly Poly nodded and deep inside he was shouting,¡±Yes, yes. My Dog Eye can make the ghosts attack each other. It is the best weapon against them!¡±

    Zhao Yao touched Roly Poly¡¯s eye mask and said,¡±How long have you not changed your eye mask? It is filled with gum and cat fur. It is so dirty. Go change it quickly.¡±

    Roly Poly was depressed and said finally, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! My eye can deal with the ghosts!¡±

    ¡°The damage caused by internal fighting is too low.¡± Zhao Yao answered casually. ¡°Hurry, go change an eye mask.¡±

    Roly Poly was depressed after Zhao Yao said that the damage was too low and walked into the Dimension Portal to change the eye mask.

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°If normal attacks don¡¯t work then I have to try other ways. Ways like electric shocks, mes, or others. I will catch a few ghosts and try...¡±

    When Zhao Yao was thinking of it, he walked deeper underground.

    The darkness engulfed Zhao Yao. Even with the abilities of five cats, he could not see his surroundings.

    Zhao Yao took out a torch light and shone it. Right after Zhao Yao turned on the torch light, he heard a sigh and he ran over. He pointed his torch and saw a woman in white with her hair down crawling out from a hole.

    Behind the Dimension Portal, Diana screamed and hugged Old Cat. ¡°It freaked me out.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°It will be you!¡± He rushed up and grabbed the woman and pinned her onto the ground. ¡°Hi, will you cooperate with me for a few experiments? It will take a short while.¡±

    The women in white didn¡¯t respond but thought, ¡°What? Shouldn¡¯t he turn around and run when he sees me? Why did he rush up to me excitedly?¡±

    Zhao Yao was smiling as he grabbed Uncle Egg from the Dimension Portal. ¡°Do you hate electric shock?¡±

    Ah! Soon, there were frantic screams from the female ghost in the sewer. It scared the supercats behind the Dimension Portal.

    ¡°So scary!¡± Diana ran over and hugged Catherine.

    Catherine no longer dared to look outside the Dimension Portal. ¡°It... is so cruel.¡±

    Zhao Yao was trying his powers on the ghost and did not try tomunicate with it. Thest few times, he had not tried to kill them but when he tried to interrogate them, they were killed. It was evident that the person behind this was determined to not leak any information.

    Zhao Yao did not expect to get any information from her. However, through the various experiments, he soon had some spections.

    ¡°Electrocution has the biggest effects.¡± Zhao Yao thought to himself. ¡°After facing electrocution, their movements and appearance are distorted. However, as soon as the electricity is finished, she will return back to normal.¡±

    ¡°High temperature does not affect them at all. Looks like they have a high temperature endurance.¡±

    ¡°The corrosive powers are useful but their effects are too slow.¡±

    ¡°They hide underground during the day but I have tried several different lights and they don¡¯t work. Why are they hiding underground?¡±

    ¡°Illusion, control powers, and even Old Cat¡¯s brainwashing is ineffective.¡± Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes and thought, ¡°Unless... this thing isn¡¯t alive?¡±

    When Zhao Yao was almost done with his experiments, he heard footstepsing closer and closer.

    His eyes lit up again. ¡°Is it some other ghost?¡± He let the woman in white go and she fled immediately. She looked at Zhao Yao in fear and disappeared the next moment.

    Zhao Yao looked at where the footsteps came from and was surprised.

    In front of him were not ghosts but very fatigued and stressed humans.

    Their leader was a tall girl in sportswear. When she saw Zhao Yao standing there, she asked immediately, ¡°Are you okay? We rushed over when we heard some movement here. Were you caught and brought here too?¡±

    Zhao Yao was in ck cloak and his head was not invisible as Roly Poly had gone back to change his eye mask. He looked at the three fatigued and dirty people and asked, ¡°Are... you guys the original inhabitants of OX city?¡±

    The girl nodded. ¡°Are you not?¡± She and her two buddies looked at Zhao Yao and his torch out of surprise. It was precious to them. Light was scare underground.

    Zhao Yao who had five cat¡¯s abilities had to turn on the torch to see. It was needless to say that they needed it more.

    ¡°I was traveling here. When I woke up, I realized that the entire city¡¯s people were gone. ¡± Zhao Yao waved his torch and asked innocently, ¡°Do you guys know what happened?¡±

    The three of them looked at each other and did not know if Zhao Yao was lucky or pitiful.

    The girl exined, ¡°The entire city was caught and trapped underground. We have to live underground. If we want to go out, they will capture us again. ¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Zhao Yao looked at the girl out of surprise. He did not expect to get such important information and continued to ask, ¡°Who are they? Why did capture all of you?¡±

    The girl shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know. Those things aren¡¯t supposed to exist in this world. They may be devils or aliens. You will know it if you see them. ¡±

    They thought Zhao Yao had never seen the ghosts and hence they exined them that way.

    The girl continued, ¡°But even though they captured us, they still provide us with food and drinks. They just did not allow us to leave the underground base. However, suddenly the amount of ghosts guarding us decreased drastically and we took the chance to escape... ¡±

    Zhao Yao understood instantly. A few hours ago, he had been met with an attack from the ghost army. Evidently, they had asked the ghosts underground toe up and attack him. That resulted in a decrease of guards.

    After her exnation, the girl was afraid that Zhao Yao would not believe her and said solemnly. ¡°You must believe us. The entire city is in the midst of a crisis. If we want to live, we have to escape back to the surface. Will youe with us?¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head andughed. He was here to capture Kun Wu, get the meteorite fragment, and rescue the other soldiers. How could he go back?

    When the girl saw that Zhao Yao shook his head, she thought that Zhao Yao still did not believe her. She was troubled. ¡°We are not lying to you. You have to trust us. This city has been upied by ghostlike creatures. It is very dangerous for you to be underground alone.

    First, meet the other survivors with us then we can work together to escape.¡±

    The girl was trying to persuade Zhao Yao to go with them. After all, one more person was one more contribution. Zhao Yao was going to reject her offer but was interested by the other survivors.

    ¡°Other survivors? There may be Chinese apostles among them. ¡±

    The girl was going to try again when Zhao Yao looked unmoved. However, her buddy said, ¡°It¡¯s okay Lisa, there¡¯s not much to say to these kind of people. If he doesn¡¯t believe us, that¡¯s his problem. He will believe when he meets the creatures. Maybe he will even be so terrified that he¡¯ll pee his pants.¡±

    However, Zhao Yao nodded and said, ¡°I will meet the other survivors with you. Only after we meet will I then decide if I want to cooperate with you.¡±

    The girl¡¯s two buddies were unhappy about it how arrogant Zhao Yao sounded.

    The girl nodded happily. ¡°You cane with us. When you reach our base, you will see that I did not lie to you.¡±

    Zhao Yao followed the girl and saw that she was gathering the lost civilians. She had managed to find about 20 of them in such a short period of time.

    Many of them were like the girl and herpanions. They had escaped the ghost army but gotten lost in theplex underground passages. Furthermore, they had poor mental strength. Most of them just ran out randomly and were separated.

    The girl was out here to gather them back.

    Leading the 20+ team, they headed towards the temporary base. The girl smiled warmly and said, ¡°We are lucky. Not only did we meet a lot ofpanions, but we also weren¡¯t attacked by any ghosts.¡±

    A thought from Zhao Yao pressed the ghost hiding in the darkness onto the wall. The ghost was pressed till it was t on the wall like a piece of paper and was only released after the girl and her team went by.

    Surprised, the ghost looked at its body in surprise. ¡°Paralysis?¡± And turned away in shock.

    All the other ghosts on the way were chased away by Zhao Yao. That was why the team did not meet any ghosts.

    Zhao Yao also found out more information from their conversations. They were caught by the ghosts and guarded underground. Although they looked terrifying, they never harmed humans.

    In fact, no one ever died from the ghosts. It was the biggest reason why they dared to escape when there was a decrease in the number of guards.

    Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°Looks like Kun Wu still knows her limits and do not want to harm ordinary humans. Erm... maybe she transferred them underground to protect them.¡±

    Roly Poly had changed his eye mask and was back on Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulders.

    When they reached the meeting point, many heads popped out from the darkness and looked at Zhao Yao¡¯s torch.

    At the meeting point, there were two groups of people arguing over what to do next.

    A few locals said, ¡°No, after the next group of people reach us, we should escape. We can¡¯t wait anymore. If we wait any longer, the ghosts wille for us again.¡±

    On the other hand, a few Chinese apostles were saying, ¡°With so few people, even if we escape, we will not be able to outrun the ghosts. We have to go back and save more people, work together, and escape. There will be higher chances of escaping.¡±

    The few locals were not willing to return. Even if the ghosts did not harm them, their appearance alone was scary enough.

    The fleeing refugees were allmoners so they would not have the mentality of Chinese apostles to choose to return and save theirpanions.

    Both parties were locked in an endless heated argument. The Chinese apostles, who were without their superpowers, were a minority aspared to the natives. They were about to be outvoiced.

    A blinding light shone over them and caught everyone by surprise. Facing the light source, they closed their eyes as the light was too bright.

    They had not seen light for a long time and they were overjoyed to experience brightness again.

    ¡°Is that light?¡±

    ¡°Someone brought along a torchlight.¡±

    ¡°Yay! We can see again.¡±

    Zhao Yao scanned the refugees with his torchlight to look for traces of the Chinese apostles as they were worth 200 experience points each. Though Zhao Yao had many experience points, his philosophy was to take care of the pences and the pounds would take care of themselves.

    A group of refugees, led by their leaders, gathered around Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao turned his head, illuminated them, and asked curiously, ¡°Is there anything wrong?¡± Zhao Yao swept his blinding torchlight over them and they covered their eyes, turning their heads away.

    The young girl, Blue Butterfly, who brought along Zhao Yao, covered her eyes shyly and said, ¡°Brother, will you lend us your torchlight? We are going to break out of here. If the leader has the torchlight, we will have a higher chance of sess.¡±

    Blue Butterfly¡¯s face blushed from embarrassment.

    Underground, a normal torchlight had be the most critical and yet rare item for lighting and leading the way. It was also the source of hope for the refugees who had not seen light for a few days.

    Blue Butterfly was embarrassed because they were forcing Zhao Yao to give up his torchlight.

    Zhao Yao was not bothered with their concerns. He shone the torchlight on a few Chinese men, who were beside the natives and activated his superpower to question them, ¡°Are you apostles from China? Uncle Ho asked me to rescue you.¡±

    They looked at Zhao Yao, pleasantly surprised, and said, ¡°How many of you came? Do you still have superpowers? Do you have supercats?¡±

    ¡°I am the only one and I still have my superpowers.¡± At the mention of supercats, Zhao Yao replied warily, ¡°My supercats are privately owned and I do not lend their abilities.¡±

    The Chinese apostles were disappointed but they were thankful that Zhao Yao still had his superpowers.

    They said anxiously, ¡°Ourpanions were captured by those strange ghosts. We have to rescue them.¡±

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Do you know the way?¡±

    The natives were puzzled to see the Chinese apostles speaking Mandarin. As Zhao Yao was activating his superpower tomunicate, they only heard the the voices of the Chinese apostles and not Zhao Yao¡¯s voice.

    A middle-aged native came forward and said, ¡°Enough idle chat.¡± He spoke to Zhao Yao in English, ¡°Hand your torchlight over to us, we need it to break out of here.¡±

    At this moment, the ground started quaking. With numerous roars, countless strange figures emerged from the darkness.

    ¡°The ghosts are here.¡±

    ¡°Run! They areing for us!¡±

    With the appearance of the ghosts, the natives panicked and fled in all directions. Their formation copsed without any attacks by the ghosts. They were most likely to suffer casualties from their stampede.

    ¡°Keep quiet.¡± Zhao Yao scorned at the natives and activated his power of illusion. Energy waves radiated from his location.

    All the refugees copsed to the ground, their facespletely nk.

    ¡°The ghosts are scary! Fleeing is even more terrifying. I shally down instead.¡±

    ¡°Humph, let me rest here. If I move, I lose.¡±

    ¡°Well, if I had a can of coke, I would be the happiest person in the world.¡±

    The effect of Zhao Yao¡¯s Great Flow of Idleness was too strong so he only activated it for a short while. He stopped the superpower once everyoneid down quietly on the ground. Everyone gazed at him in astonishment as he confronted the ghosts.

    As Zhao Yao stepped towards the ghosts, Roly Poly made his head invisible.

    Looking at the familiar silhouette of the Headless Horseman, the ghost army trembled in fear and backed up a few steps.

    Blue Butterfly looked surprise as she uttered, ¡°The ghost army... retreats?¡±

    The middle-aged native was bewildered and said, ¡°Why do I feel like... the ghosts are afraid of him?¡±

    They were all wondering about the actual identity of Zhao Yao.

    Kun Wu¡¯s voice was hearding from the rear of the ghosts, ¡°Brainless, why are you always against us?¡±

    ¡°Brainless?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s gaze froze as he red at the ghost army and said, ¡°I hate it when people call me brainless.¡± He grabbed Mango from the Dimension Portal and tossed him to the ghost army.

    Roly Poly activated his superpower and made Mango invisible as well.

    Kun Wu was not aware of the invisible Mango and said, ¡°We didn¡¯t harm the people of this city. Instead, we protected them. We did so many things to save the Earth. A shocking evil has awakened. With your current power, you are unable to defeat them...¡±

    ¡°I am not listening to your b*llshit.¡± Zhao Yao red furiously at the millions of ghosts and said, ¡°I am giving you diarrhea!¡± A strong feeling of constipation was sent to Mango.

    Mango frowned, his mouth puffy with anger as his whiskers curled up with agitation.

    Kun Wu was shocked to see all the monsters copsing to the ground and having diarrhea of metals, batteries, and engine oil.

    ¡°What... what is happening?¡± Kun Wu did not believe her own eyes as it was illogical.

    Kun Wu found it hard to ept that the nano robots were having diarrhea of metals and microchips. She felt it was too incredible to see them having diarrhea of AA batteries.

    ¡°Humph, my previous experiments were not in vain.¡± Zhao Yao was very pleased that he had tested various superpowers on the female ghost. Besides electrical attacks, Mango had the greatest effect on her.

    Zhao Yao realized from his experiments that the ghosts were not evil spirits. Rather, they were robots constructed out of some dark technology. Hence, Elizabeth¡¯s power of illusion was ineffective against them. Even Zhao Yao¡¯s Paralysis Ring and Roly Poly¡¯s Titanium Dog Eye were ineffective as well.

    Zhao Yao was amazed by the fact that Mango¡¯s superpower was extremely effective against robots and the precedence level of the superpower was very high.

    Looking at the ghosts having diarrhea of AA batteries, Zhao Yao thought, ¡°I wonder if I can cause gold bars to have diarrhea. What is the weight of a gold bar after that? It is worth a try.¡±

    While Zhao Yao was making ns to be rich, Kun Wu was shocked and ordered the withdrawal of her ghost army.

    The ghosts were actually nano robots made by the supercat, Doll.

    Everything had started with Kun Wu¡¯s dream.

    Originally Kun Wu was a normal cat.

    Two years ago, with the appearance of aet in the night sky, she suddenly became knowledgeable and gained both intelligence and superpowers.

    He became stronger everyday and his body changed from a normal cat to a horned, azure-furred, fire-stepping creature.

    At midnight, in her dreams, a pair of cat¡¯s pupils would stare at him.

    He was powerless against the pupils in the dream. He ignored the pupils and stopped his thoughts like a frozen mouse.

    The contents of the dreams became clearer and detailed.

    The evil in the pupils became a substance. Kun Wu was able to see the reflection of numerous disasters in the pupils.

    Countless supercats were killed, cities after cities were destroyed, human armies were annihted, the Earth trembled in her gaze.

    He could feel the other¡¯s contempt and malevolence towards all life.

    Eventually, she was able to see what the other party was looking at in the dreams.

    A pure white room, a powerful apostle, various kinds ofics... the master of the pupils had awoken.

    At this instance, she understood that the nightmares were not illusions but reality.

    An evil that had never been seen before had awakened and would lead the Earth to its downfall.

    Kun Wu had been trying hard to create a force to fight against this evil. He met several potential supercats and helped Professor Xu in the feline girl experiment, however, they were not satisfactory.

    Until he met the supercat, Doll, a subordinate of the King of Death.

    Modifications, robots, and evolution... Doll¡¯s superpower was unique and full of possibilities. She was not a warrior but a representation of the fighting robots. Kun Wu saw the chance of salvation in Doll so she helped her upgrade her superpower in order to save the world.

    Kun Wu rescued Doll and left a clone of Doll in the factory while they fled to OX city.

    OX city did not have the strict control of the government. With assistance from Kun Wu, Doll developed rapidly by buying or stealing resources from the human city and assimted vast information from the inte.

    With time, the robots under Doll multiplied and evolved such that their abilities became stronger.

    However, the appearance of a Meteorite Fragment wrecked their n.

    Kun Wu and Doll sent out a robot unit in order to obtain the Meteorite Fragment. To hide the presence of the robots, they disguised the nanorobots as ghosts so that people would believe it was a supernatural urrence.

    In the process of obtaining the fragment, the robots and the Chinese apostles got into a conflict. After a series of incidents and news leak, the city went into a curfew and was surrounded by the army. Many apostles and countries were embroiled in the bid to obtain the fragment.

    After the appearance of the Headless Horseman, Doll was forced to put all her energy to deal with him.

    They were puzzled what superpower the Headless Horseman had activated to cause the nano robots to have diarrhea.

    ¡°This superpower is... too disgusting.¡± Kun Wu could not stop thinking about the diarrhea.

    Zhao Yao yelled at him, ¡°Hey Kun Wu, are you around? Let me touch you for a while and I will stop the diarrhea.¡±

    Kun Wu retorted with a mixture of shame and anger, ¡°You are dreaming!¡±

    ¡°Hahahaha, you are very disobedient.¡± The Headless Horseman shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t me me.¡±

    More and more ghosts copsed to the ground when an invisible force swept over them. The ground was filled with incapacitated ghosts.

    The ray of the torchlight searched frantically as Zhao Yao¡¯s voice was heard saying, ¡°Where are you, my little kitten?¡±

    ¡°Despicable. His superpower is very unorthodox.¡± Kun Wu shouted, ¡°What is happening to the robots? Why are they falling?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± The Doll analyzed calmly and said, ¡°The robots are in a normal condition. I don¡¯t know why they are having diarrhea.¡±

    ¡°Little kitten? Where are you?¡± A light ray swept over and Kun Wu said anxiously, ¡°What shall I do? What shall I do? He ising for me.¡±

    Dollforted him and said, ¡°Do not panic, I have deployed thetest half-mechanized warriors to support you.¡±

    ¡°Half-mechanized warriors?¡± Kun Wu asked curiously, ¡°You used humans to develop the robots? Didn¡¯t I prohibit you from using the humans?¡±

    Doll replied calmly, ¡°They are viins and I showed them 52 pages of the risks and side effects to which they agreed and willingly underwent the modification. You can¡¯t me me for it. The Headless Horseman is indeed very powerful. I am unable to defeat him now.¡±

    Kun Wu encouraged her and said, ¡°No problem, I did not expect to see such a superpower. Diarrhea superpower is just diarrhea. It cannot bepared to your potential which is the most powerful that I have seen. I think your ability has even breached the limit of superpowers. You are not adept in face-to-facebat so you are only required to stay behind and develop the robots.

    With enough time, you will be the most powerful supercat. I am sure you will be able to defeat both the Headless Horseman and the great evil. We can always flee OX city when the situation turns bad.¡±

    Doll said, ¡°Hmm, that¡¯s what I thought so I fled.¡±

    ¡°What!!¡± Kun Wu was so infuriated that her head burst into mes. She shouted angrily, ¡°Are you fleeing without me?!¡±

    The clone of Doll said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, if the half-mechanized apostles are unable to defeat him, I would be useless even if I stayed.¡±

    Kun Wu was even more enraged as she said, ¡°Is there anyfort in your words?¡±

    Doll thought for a while and replied, ¡°You are unable to die.¡±

    Kun Wu began hollering with a great temper, ¡°I am about to lose it!¡±

    Doll pondered carefully and said, ¡°I will exact revenge for you.¡±

    Kun Wu was thinking of what to say when she felt her body sh and she appeared in mid air.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? What happened? I did not teleport.¡±

    She felt arge hand pinching her throat and a trained hand supporting his buttocks while she was being carried. It showed a highly skilled way of carrying cats.

    Kun Wu felt a strong desire to rest in the other¡¯s arms.

    She was given a hard knock by her pride of being the Goddess of Cats. She turned her head and saw the Headless Horseman carrying her. Kun Wu shouted, ¡°What are you doing? Release me immediately!¡±

    Zhao Yao happily carried Kun Wu in his arms and said, ¡°You won¡¯t get pregnant in my arms.¡± He peeked at Kun Wu¡¯s buttocks and said, ¡°So... you are female.¡±

    Kun Wu did not like being carried and pressed her paws on Zhao Yao¡¯s chest. She replied angrily, ¡°I hate being carried! Do not treat me as a normal cat!¡±

    Zhao Yao lifted a bag of Dust Ball catmint and tossed it over Kun Wu, who sniffed and shivered. Her eyes showed whites and she drooled incessantly. She allowed Zhao Yao to cuddle her.

    Doll, who was at the side, asked out of surprise, ¡°What have you done?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked over and noticed a shiny metal cat talking to him. It was a robot clone of Doll.

    Zhao Yaoughed sinisterly and said, ¡°Something to make her high. Who are you? Are these robots created by you?¡±

    Zhao Yao knew that the ghosts were all robots in disguise. However, it was his first time seeing robots transform, go through walls, reassemble and possess other strange superpowers. He suspected they were created by some superpowers.

    Doll was Zhao Yao¡¯s prime suspect but she was already captured by Uncle Ho.

    Doll was unwilling to tell the truth so she ran up to him and yelled, ¡°I will not allow you to take advantage of Kun Wu!¡± The surrounding nano robots were incited by Doll¡¯s shouting to attack. Once they neared Zhao Yao, they froze and fell to the ground. Ayer of frost formed on their surfaces.

    Zhao Yao extended his Deflective Field and sealed the surrounding space to prevent the ghost army from bothering him.

    Kun Wu had totally rxed her body in Zhao Yao¡¯s arms. Even her horn flexed down and covered her face.

    Zhao Yao put Kun Wu on the ground, smiled at her indulgence and said, ¡°You are the kind of cat that likes catmint.¡± He caressed her head.

    Doll rushed in front of Kun Wu to protect her and said indignantly, ¡°Away with your dirty hands! Do not touch her!¡±

    ¡°Get lost.¡± Zhao Yao sent Doll flying with a p and scattered a packet of catmint on Kun Wu¡¯s body. She arched her body and licked the catmint with her tongue.

    Zhao Yao gave an evilugh and said, ¡°She likes catmint. Why don¡¯t I give her more?¡±

    Kun Wu turned and tossed her body in the pile of catmint and curled her tail with pleasure. She was dazed. Doll was very upset and screamed, ¡°Headless Horseman! You will suffer a terrible death!¡±

    ¡°Hahahaha, many cats and humans who wished that I was dead have passed. You are next on the list.¡± Zhao Yao cuddled Kun Wu¡¯s stomach and she tossed and turned in sync with the cuddling, asionally purring with pleasure.

    ¡°No!¡± Doll raged and charged forward but she was pped down to the ground by the Deflective Field. She looked on helplessly as Zhao Yao continued ying with Kun Wu. She turned her head in anger but was forced to face them by the Deflective Field. Zhao Yao pried her eyes open as he wanted her to watch them.

    ¡°You are a scumbag! This is infuriating!¡± Doll eximed.

    Zhao Yao cuddled Kun Wu with satisfaction and said, ¡°Think of a proper exnation for your actions. I am dealing with you next.¡± Zhao Yao was not aware that the Doll in front of him was a robot clone.

    Roly Poly who was on Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulder thought to himself, ¡°Beast.¡± He took out his cell phone to take photographs as evidence.

    Behind the Dimension Portal, Elizabeth, Diana, Matcha, Lightning were cursing at Zhao Yao, ¡°Beast.¡±

    Kun Wu recovered from the stimtion of the Dust Ball catmint. She raised her paws and emitted white incandescent mes to block Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Don¡¯t... Stop immediately... I will shout for help...¡±

    ¡°Hahahaha.¡± Zhao Yao pinched Kun Wu¡¯s two paws andughed. ¡°Shout for help. Even if you scream until you are voiceless, no one will rescue you.¡±

    ¡°Let her go!¡±

    A grim voice was heard and three figures waded through the Deflection Field towards Zhao Yao.

    The eyes of Doll lit up as her reinforcement unit had arrived.

    The three figures were Edward, Bason, and Philip. After being captured by Doll, they volunteered to be modified as half-robot warriors.

    They had changed in appearance. Their skin was covered with ayer of silver and their eyes lit up with two crimson rays. The ground shook with their every step.

    To resist the low temperature of the Deflective Field, Doll gave them heaters that continuously emitted white mist. The heaters were like huge stoves that provided extremely high temperature so they were able to move freely in the sub-zero temperature.

    Zhao Yao lifted his head to nce at them. ¡°Oh? It¡¯s the three of you?¡±

    Roly Poly had made Zhao Yao¡¯s head invisible so Edward and hispanions recognized the headless silhouette immediately.

    The three of them did not have the fear that they had had when they first met the Headless Horseman and faces exuded confidence.

    After modification, their bodies were fully equipped with a plethora of nano devices. They looked overloaded with equipment.

    Bason blocked hispanions and said, ¡°Mypanions, let me deal with him. Is that alright with both of you?¡±

    ¡°No, no.¡± Edward smiled merrily and said, ¡°A mouth of kimchi, a mouthful of feces. I have to feed him personally.¡±

    Philip blocked hispanions and said, ¡°Both of you stop right there. I will give you 1 million euros each for the chance to deal with him.¡±

    Bason sneered and said, ¡°Who wants your filthy money? Let¡¯s decide with rock, paper, scissors.¡±

    ¡°Rock, paper, scissors, rock, paper, scissors.¡± Edward said, ¡°Whoever wins gets the chance to deal with him.¡±

    ¡°Rock, paper, scissors, shoot...¡±

    Seeing their insolent behavior, Zhao Yao was astonished and infuriated. The three insignificant losers treated him with contempt and he had to teach them a good lesson.

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes as he gazed grimly at the three men.

    Edward, Bason, and Philip were either not aware of or indifferent to Zhao Yao.

    Under the orders of Doll, the ghost army retreated to prevent casualties. Their withdrawal carved out arge empty space.

    The refugees at the rear were unaware of what was happening. With the ghost army¡¯s withdrawal, they witnessed Zhao Yao restrain two cats and confront three men and were confused.

    After their game of rock, paper, scissors, Edwardughed heartily as he came forward looking as though he had struck the lottery.

    In Edward¡¯s eyes, the Headless Horseman whom he feared previously was merely a small fry. After Doll¡¯s modification, he waspletely changed from head to toe.

    His internal propulsion system, superalloy bone structure, and impact joints gave him the power to kick a trailer truck with ease.

    The propulsion elerator, titanium outer skin, nano-transformable weapons expanded his fighting capabilities and boosted his confidence.

    The important point was that the modifications were not superpowers, which would expire and be obsolete. The modifications allowed him to have superman¡¯s fighting capability all the time.

    If he wasplemented by superpowers, his fighting capability would increase by leaps and bounds.

    ¡°Heh heh, aspared to my modification, the Meteorite Fragment is not a big deal.¡± Edward saw himself killing all his former enemies, bing a cat king, owning more than 3000 supercats and attaining the pinnacle of his life.

    He leaped gently. Exhaust pipes protruded from his back and emitted turbulent mes and hot air currents, propelling him into the air with high speed.

    Edward tore through the sky, leaving a trail of blurred images as he circled around Zhao Yao like a fly with supersonic speed.

    Edwardughed heartily as he flew in the sky, ¡°Well? Are you able to catch up to me? My highest speed is more than 500 meters per second, fully automated by AI. The ballistic supeputer will assist in flying and help me dodge all attacks. Are you able to hit me?¡±

    Edwardughed wildly as he elerated in the sky, causing strong winds from his location.

    ¡°Did you see that? My capabilities are more powerful than you can imagine!¡±

    Edwards activated his Psychokinesis to grab Zhao Yao.

    ¡°I got you!¡± Edward¡¯s eyes lit up and as he tightened his grip around Zhao Yao and ced Kun Wu behind his back.

    ¡°Done!¡±

    In the next moment, cannons protruded from his chest, stomach and shoulders and fired sma mes at Zhao Yao. Bright light and immense heat engulfed Zhao Yao and the entire underground space quaked violently, as though it would copse any time.

    The refugees eximed at the sudden explosion and looked fearfully at Edward, who was hovering in mid air.

    Bason frowned and said, ¡°Is Edward mad? He used such a powerful sma cannon in such a tight underground space! Is he burying us alive?¡±

    Philip swept away the dust that flew towards him and coughed as he said, ¡°Edward, do not be rash. Finish him quickly.¡±

    Edwardughed sinisterly and said, ¡°He may already be finished. The sma cannon is powerful enough to sink a battleship.¡±

    A gust of strong wind blew across the battlefield. After the dust settled, Zhao Yao appeared intact in front of everyone.

    ¡°What?¡± Edward was shocked as he looked at the pristine Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao asked grimly, ¡°Are you done?¡±

    ¡°Humph?¡± Edward elerated in the sky and shouted, ¡°You managed to survive my sma cannon, I shall let you have a taste of my...¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°You are irritating me.¡±

    Zhao Yao stepped out as Edward spoke halfway in his sentence.

    Time stopped. When time resumed, a loud explosion was heard and Zhao Yao was stepping on Edward¡¯s head.

    Edward was frozen in mid-air during his eleration and viciously thrown by Zhao Yao onto the ground, forming a depression where hended.

    Zhao Yao looked at the foaming and unconscious Edward and thought, ¡°Did I step too many times? Forget it. He should be alright.¡±

    After trampling Edward like he was stepping on a cockroach, Zhao Yao gazed at Bason and Philip and said, ¡°What were both of you saying just now?¡±

    Bason and Philip were terrified when they witnessed theirpanion being trampled. When Zhao Yao¡¯s grim gaze swept upon them, cold sweat formed on their heads. They felt like they were being set upon by a ferocious beast.

    They looked at each other. Their backs emitted sma mes as they flew in a pincer formation towards Zhao Yao.

    Bason¡¯s body emittedrge quantity of liquid metal and transformed into a three-meter tall giant. Armed with his metallic superpower, he charged wildly toward Zhao Yao like a juggernaut.

    Philip¡¯s back emittedrge volume of crystals and his body was illuminated with a white brilliance. The crystals transformed into beams of golden light that shed down on Zhao Yao.

    Whether it was Bason¡¯s ramming or Philip¡¯s beams, they passed through Zhao Yao as though he was just an illusion.

    Zhao Yao, who was standing behind the Dimension Portal, said calmly, ¡°It seems like all of you are very unhappy with me. I didn¡¯t take care of you properly thest time.¡±

    The two of them attacked Zhao Yao viciously. Bason¡¯s liquid metal transformed into various weapons like swords, guns and maces, making him look like a porcupine. He swung his weapons at Zhao Yao like a runaway tornado.

    Philip¡¯s body emitted more and more prismatic crystals. Complemented by his body¡¯s white light, beams of dense light extended towards Zhao Yao.

    Their attacks were unable to prate the Dimension Portal or hit Zhao Yao.

    As Bason fought harder, he became more anxious, ¡°What is happening? Why am I not able to hit him?¡±

    ¡°What superpower is that? Philip inhaled a gust of cool air and said, ¡°Sonar is unable to detect his presence yet the infrared imaging is able to see him. Why? What state is he in?¡±

    Zhao Yao informed Sphynx cat telepathically, ¡°Sphynx cat, restrain the two of them.¡±

    Sphynx cat ran out from the Dimension Portal, pped Bason and Philip to the ground and held down their heads.

    Bason and Philip were more powerful than before. They struggled violently to free themselves even after being held down by Sphynx cat.

    Their propulsion systems kicked into full gear as sma me jet powered up on their backs like two fighter nes taking off. The ground underneath them cracked open and theyers of cement ruptured from their violent struggle.

    They felt as though a mountain was weighing down on their heads. Regardless of how they struggled and broke the cement ground underneath, their heads were pinned down and they were unable to get up.

    Zhao Yao walked to them and activated his power of illusion.

    ¡°Seems like you weren¡¯t satisfied with a mouthful of kimchi and a mouthful of feces.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°This time I will serve a tough dish guaranteed to satisfy you.¡±

    The illusion engulfed both of them and the devilish voice of Zhao Yao reverberated in their minds.

    ¡°A mouthful of urine, a mouthful of feces, are you satisfied now?¡±

    Bason screamed, ¡°No!¡±

    Philip wailed, ¡°Argh!¡±

    Everyone saw Edward and hispanions being pped onto the ground and screaming out in agony. They were not aware of what happened but their screams were pitiful. Zhao Yao was more terrifying than the ghosts.

    ¡°How did he torture them?¡±

    Blue Butterfly and a few refugees looked at each other and felt it was a close shave. They were trying to force him to give up his torchlight just now. They should be thankful that he didn¡¯t rob them then. They were just inches from death and the feeling was nerve-racking.

    Kun Wu recovered from the addiction to the catmint. Hearing the faraway screams, she instinctively wanted to climb up and flee.

    ¡°This is too terrifying, he is merciless against his own kind. I have to escape quickly.¡± She limped and struggled to stand up. A passageway nked by mes appeared before her.

    As Kun Wu was about to enter the passageway, a red dot floated above the ground, apanied by a buzzing sound.

    Kun Wu turned her head and pounced on the red dot in a sh. She chased after the shifting red dot in a circle.

    Doll asked impatiently, ¡°Kun Wu! What are you doing?¡±

    ¡°I... I don¡¯t know!¡± Kun Wu was almost moved to tears as she replied, ¡°I can¡¯t control myself.¡±

    ¡°Heh heh heh heh.¡± Zhao Yao smiled merrily as he walked over, twisting his Paralysis Ring and said happily, ¡°Kun Wu, you are able to y like a normal cat, isn¡¯t that enjoyable?¡±

    ¡°Meow...¡± Kun Wu was exasperated and said angrily, ¡°What are you trying to do? We can give you the Meteorite Fragment, will you let us go?¡±

    ¡°No, no, no.¡± Zhao Yao shook his head and said, ¡°Only kids make choices. As an adult, I take all options.¡±

    Zhao Yao knelt down and aimed the Paralysis Ring at his own chest. He opened his arms to Kun Wu and said, ¡°Come over here Kun Wu, Uncle loves you.¡±

    Kun Wu looked in fear at his open arms while her body moved on her own towards Zhao Yao.

    As her body was about to leap into Zhao Yao¡¯s arms, she yelled furiously, ¡°I will never yield even if I die!¡±

    Kun Wu burst into mes, burnt fiercely and smoldered into numerous sparks that scattered in the thin air.

    Zhao Yao extended his hand to grab her but in vain. The sparks gradually extinguished in his hands.

    Zhao Yao was dumbfounded and said, ¡°You rather die than to let me hug you? Forget it, I am looking for the Meteorite Fragment.¡±

    Kun Wu¡¯s voice was heard from the remaining sparks, ¡°I don¡¯t want to die!!¡± All the sparks vanished.

    Zhao Yao turned his head and gazed at Doll¡¯s robot clone. He focused his attention and activated the Deflective Field to pull her towards him.

    ¡°Is Kun Wu really dead?¡± Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Answer me honestly, otherwise...¡±

    ¡°Hahahaha.¡± Dollughed loudly and said, ¡°Kun Wu has an invincible body! This body is a robot clone of myself. We have escaped!¡±

    She looked viciously at the Headless Horseman and shouted, ¡°Headless Horseman, we will remember you! We will stay in the shadows and watch you! You won¡¯t be so lucky the next time!¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled and said, ¡°Very good... she is not dead.¡±

    ...

    About ten kilometers away, Kun Wu was reborn from the mes and she pped continuously on Doll¡¯s face.

    ¡°You are so foolish! Why did you tell Headless Horseman that I am not dead?¡±

    Doll said defensively, ¡°To threaten him! It will be a loss of face if we leave without threatening him.¡±

    ¡°Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!¡± Kun Wu was so angry that she pped Doll¡¯s head consecutively. ¡°We are going to be stalked by this lunatic!¡±

    Doll said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry Kun Wu. Although we fled, I kept the data and resources from OX city. Next time, I will protect you.¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao looked at the self-destructed robot clone and shook his head. He wanted to capture the remaining ghost army but they copsed to the ground one by one, disintegrated into silver powder and disappeared.

    Zhao Yao sighed as he regretted letting Kun Wu and Doll escape. They must have fled with the Meteorite Fragment. Zhao Yao felt that it was a great loss for him.

    Seeing the nearby Chinese apostles, Zhao Yao smiled. At least he was able to earn the experience points forpleting his mission.

    Zhao Yao spent his time gathering the Chinese apostles. Without the obstruction of the ghost army and with the help from the natives, Zhao Yao found all the apostles in a short time. He knocked all the apostles unconscious, shoved them into the Extradimensional Belly and brought them back to China.

    The Meteorite Fragment was not found in Doll¡¯s base. Instead the defector who had run away with the fragment was found imprisoned in the base.

    Zhao Yao rescued more than 80 apostles, earning 16 400 experience points and brought back the defector which was considered a great feat. He also showcased his superior abilities to the foreigners.

    The next two days, Zhao Yao frequently browsed the cat web to see if there were any rted reports.

    Maine, United States.

    In theboratory, the Professor sighed continuously at the statistics before him.

    ¡°All the supercats that had their superpowers boosted by Project X improved in varying degrees. The weakest had an increase of 12% while the strongest showed an increase of more than 235% in its superpower. Unbelievable.¡±

    He started to read another report. ¡°But the most important thing was that once these supercats had their abilities boosted, the powers that they lent out increased as well. Hmm... up til now none of the 50 test subjects experienced negative after effects from the ability boost and the duration of their abilities remains at 24 hours. This is really hard to believe.¡±

    The Professor stared excitedly at theb report as he began thinking about his next research topic. Just then, a few soldiers opened the door and barged in.

    The Professor frowned. ¡°Who are you guys? Who gave you permission toe in?¡±

    The leading officer said, ¡°We are from the International Special Operations Forces. I believe Project X is here?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know what you are talking about,¡± The Professor replied angrily. ¡°Everything here is ssified information. Get the hell out of here unless you want to be court-martialed.¡±

    The officer smiled and said, ¡°We have the approval of the United States Department of Defense. Your superior will contact you over the phone soon. The country needs the help of Project X¡¯s powers now. Hope you can understand and cooperate with us.¡±

    ¡°Impossible. The Department of Defense will never agree to this. You all don¡¯t understand the importance of Project X...¡± Before he could finish his words, the phone in front of the Professor rang. His face changed slightly as he saw the officer smirking at him.

    ¡°Answer it.¡±

    The Professor took the call. His expression changed multiple times within the next moment, before he finally sighed. ¡°That¡¯s too risky, we still haven¡¯t figured out Project X¡¯s abilities and how it works. If there are any consequences...¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry Professor,¡± The officer said. ¡°My men are more than capable to withstand all kinds of tests. A mere cat won¡¯t be a problem.¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t understand at all...¡± The Professor looked up and nced at the man. He sighed in resignation and took them into theboratory.

    Not long after, a supercat was ced in front of Project X in a clean and whiteboratory.

    The supercat nced at Project X and asked curiously, ¡°You¡¯re considered a cat too? Why do you look like that?¡±

    Project X, who had been reading aic book, looked up and stared the other cat in the eyes. His eyes shed in the next moment as his lips curled into a smile, ¡°Finally, a cat I can use.¡±

    He turned and stared at the other party as he asked, ¡°Hello, what¡¯s your name?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m Coffee,¡± The supercat stared at him curiously, ¡°They said you can boost my superpower. Is that true?¡±

    ¡°Of course it¡¯s true,¡± Project X waved his paw at the cat and replied gently, ¡°Come, child, let me stroke your head.¡±

    Coffee was slightly abashed but still walked over obediently and stretched his head towards Project X.

    Project X stroked the other party¡¯s head as he quipped happily, ¡°What an obedient child.¡±

    Outside theboratory, the Professor was still trying to dissuade the officer. ¡°We have yet toe to a conclusion about Project X¡¯s background and power. It might be too risky if we decide to use his power on arge-scale. What if there are side-effects?¡±

    The officer shook his head, ¡°Professor, you¡¯ve been cooped up in theboratory for too long so you probably do not know how dangerous the international arena is now. Just a few days ago, an incident where a human apostle fought against a whole army happened again in the Southeast Asian region.

    In the desert regions in the East, some apostles even led armed rebels to overthrow the incumbent government and fought against our own country¡¯s troops there.

    This has drastic consequences on the future of our country¡¯s international standing and military interests in both the Asia-Pacific and the Eastern desert regions and can be considered a threat to national security. So we need to have stronger superpowers and even stronger apostles.¡±

    As he said that, he stared at Project X in theboratory and smiled slightly. ¡°A supercat that can boost the abilities of other supercats, isn¡¯t this the best weapon? With him, our country will continue to dominate the international order and the supernatural realm would be no exception.¡±

    The Professor sighed once more, knowing that he could no longer dissuade him. The officer only knew how to make use of superpowers for riches and power. He was totally ignorant of the dangers associated with superpowers.

    The officer continued confidently, ¡°Coffee is a supercat that has undergone much training with us so there is no doubt about his loyalty to the country. Even if there¡¯s a problem with Project X, there will surely be no problem with Coffee.¡±

    However, at the next moment, shouts of astonishment filled the control room.

    In theboratory, Project X¡¯s mouth shot open and extended to 270 degrees, baring its fangs which looked no different from rows of daggers as it chomped right down on Coffee¡¯s head.

    ¡°MEOW!¡± Coffee let out an agonizing scream and started to struggle violently with his whole body as he kicked with all his might at Project X with all four limbs. However, Project X bit down on him tightly and there was no way the cat could struggle out.

    The officer roared in anger, ¡°Quick stop him!¡±

    The Professor shouted back, ¡°Be careful. Don¡¯t kill Project X. He¡¯s very precious.¡±

    One by one, automated mechanic hands stretched towards Project X and Coffee. However, no matter how much the mechanic hands pulled, Project X bit down relentlessly on Coffee¡¯s head, fresh blood gushing out from his mouth as he refused to let go.

    After a few seconds, Coffee¡¯s agonizing screams became weaker before itpletely died down and stopped struggling altogether. The officer outside theboratory screamed in rage and agony, ¡°What the f*ck? What did this monster just do?¡±

    Project X had already had its four limbs and head caught by the mechanic hands as shots of tranquilizers were injected into his body. However, he continued to bite down relentless and did not release his grip at all.

    ¡°This won¡¯t do! The tranquilizers are totally ineffective.¡±

    ¡°Increase the concentration of the shots.¡±

    ¡°D*mn, did he fake the effects all along when the tranquilizers were injected previously?¡±

    The officer grabbed the Professor by the cor and screamed, ¡°Do you know how important Coffee is? The whole gravitation unit¡¯s superpoweres from him! Quick, save him!¡±

    ¡°We are trying our best but Project X¡¯s teeth had sunk right through Coffee¡¯s bones. It¡¯s not so easy even if we want to separate them now.¡±

    ¡°Then let us do it,¡± The officer shouted and the next moment, he barged into theboratory with his men.

    ¡°No, you all can¡¯t do this!¡± The Professor tried to stop them but was immediately pushed aside.

    The officer immediately pointed a gun at Project X and shouted, ¡°You monster! Quick let him go, or else I will blow your brains off this instant. I know you can understand what we are saying, so listen to mymand now!¡±

    Project X¡¯s eyes flew open and his eyeballs spun towards the soldiers. It was as if there was a look of glee in his eyes.

    The next moment, an enormous gravitational force burst out from a few soldiers¡¯ bodies, shrinking them into small balls as they dropped on the floor. The wholeboratory began to shake violently after a loud boom was heard. The steel house began to bend and distort under the intense gravitational pull.

    A few hourster, Project X stepped barefoot on the cement road. Coffee followed behind him, looking at Project X passionately with full admiration and respect for him.

    However, X just shut his eyes and twitched his ears and nose as if he was sensing something.

    ¡°Have they caught up?¡±

    In the distance, the sound of an armed helicopter gradually approached them as all kinds of kind thoughts, evil thoughts, enmity, and murderous intentions flowed into his brain continuously.

    Just as Project X was about to close off his senses, he suddenly frowned. ¡°ckmailing, threats and violence against supercats...¡±

    ¡°I feel a strong evil force... somewhere far far away... westwards from where I am.¡±

    ...

    Millionaire¡¯s Cat Wondend, in an underground location.

    Zhao Yao slumped on the sofa, ying games as he heard the supercats chatter around him.

    A tri-colored caty on the floor as he kept pleading with Zhao Yao, ¡°Brother Yao, Brother Yao, I will pay up after three days. Please give me another three days. Please, I¡¯m begging you.¡±

    Zhao Yao scratched his head and saidzily, ¡°Roly Poly, how much does she owe?¡±

    Roly Poly took out his phone and checked the ledger before replying in a stern voice, ¡°Brother, she owes a total of RMB 127 500.¡±

    The tri-colored cat immediately replied, ¡°No... that can¡¯t be. I didn¡¯t owe so much originally.¡±

    Roly Poly narrowed his eyes at her and said, ¡°Miss, there¡¯s interest when you borrow money. Though we are a small business, we can¡¯t let our brothers starve.¡±

    Zhao Yao asked as he continued ying his game, ¡°How long has her payment been overdue?¡±

    Roly Poly nced at the ledger and said, ¡°Two weeks, Brother.¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed and nced at the tri-colored cat as he said, ¡°Mei Mei, I saved you from the hands of the Mao Gang, right?¡±

    The tri-colored cat called Mei Mei immediately nodded, ¡°Yeah, yeah, thank you Brother Yao for saving me back then.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head and continued, ¡°You are considered an old cat. By right I shouldn¡¯t be pressing you so hard for payment.¡±

    Mei Mei nodded her head vigorously.

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°But even andlord doesn¡¯t have extra food to spare. Don¡¯t be deceived by the looks of this Cat Wondend. Though it¡¯s big and business is good, everything about it needs money. I still owe the bank a few billions worth of loans, I can¡¯t sleep every night because of that.¡±

    Mei Mei started crying. ¡°Brother Yao, I really didn¡¯t mean it. How would I know that Portugal would lose to Uruguay... I talked to Cristiano Ronaldo¡¯s cat on the phone yesterday. He clearly told me that there would be no problem. Who would¡¯ve guessed that they still lost in the end.

    I actually climbed all the way up to the rooftop. Then I thought I should pay my dues to you properly so I came back down.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head and said, ¡°Then tell me, how do you intend to pay off your debt?¡±

    Mei Mei bit on her teeth before she said, ¡°I don¡¯t need my pay for the next two years. I can use that to pay off my debts instead. Would that be okay?¡±

    ¡°No no, if you don¡¯t have your pay how will you eat and y? I will still have to give you your pay.¡±

    Mei Mei let out a breath as she thought how Zhao Yao still had that bit of humanity in him.

    However, Zhao Yao continued to say, ¡°But you¡¯re earning too little down here. You should go up and work from now on.¡±

    Mei Mei¡¯s face changed as she replied, ¡°Go up? Brother Yao, you want me to go up and attend to customers?¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded, ¡°Yeah, why? You don¡¯t want to?¡±

    Mei Mei cried, ¡°Brother Yao! I¡¯m a cat from a decent household too. Can you give me another job?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s face darkened. ¡°You¡¯re saying that my business is indecent?¡±

    Mei Mei immediately crossed her paws as she replied, ¡°No, that¡¯s not what I meant.¡±

    ¡°Then that¡¯s right. You will have many opportunities up there,¡± Zhao Yao said sincerely. ¡°I took your looks into ount, that¡¯s why I rmended you go up. After working for a few years up there, you can earn enough money to retire on Cat Ind, that¡¯s not too bad right?¡±

    Seeing how Mei Mei was about to rebuke him, Zhao Yao waved a hand to stop her and continued, ¡°Where¡¯s Matcha? Bring him up to talk her into this. Don¡¯t mistake good intentions for ill intent. Once you make big money you will understand that it¡¯s all for your own good.¡±

    Matcha jumped from the sofa at the side and smiled lewdly, ¡°Leave it to me. I will definitely educate her well.¡±

    Mei Mei was immediately dragged away by Matcha and his cats. However, once this incident was settled, F¨±jin was seen trotting over right away before he whispered into Zhao Yao¡¯s ear, ¡°Brother Yao, bad news: Cannon is seeing red after losing money from betting above. Now he¡¯s even betting on his tail and forcing us to ce bets, what should we do?¡±

    ¡°That rascal,¡± Zhao Yao said angrily. ¡°Roly Poly, go and drag him down right now. From today onwards, he is not allowed to step into the casino.¡±

    After settling Cannon¡¯s problem, Zhao Yaoy down on the sofa again, shaking his head as he sighed. ¡°Each of them cause trouble all day long. It¡¯s really hard to lead a team.¡±

    At the thought of this, he took out his phone and started to surf the cat web. ¡°Howe no one ever talks about the situation in OX city? Has the news been censored?¡± His face changed when he checked the news headlines.

    ¡°Armed rebels in desert countries attack the capital with the help of apostles, upying the whole country and defeating the American Peacekeeping Force.¡±

    ¡°An extraordinarily huge supernatural incident urred locally in America. More than 200 apostles were killed.¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned at these two headlines. ¡°They actually stole the headlines from me.¡± He searched for a long while before he found in a small corner ¡®OX city Supernatural Incident, supercats disguised as ghosts and monsters, scaring apostles from many countries¡¯.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Even if they don¡¯t know me, they can¡¯t just write some crap in the news. Shouldn¡¯t it be ¡®Mysterious apostle saves the whole city, battling thousands of ghosts and monsters singlehandedly¡¯?¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed and started to search for news about Kun Wu. He was still very concerned about this special supercat. Furthermore, Doll¡¯s abilities were not to be underestimated. Zhao Yao had already reported the situation to Uncle Ho and his men. Hopefully, they would be able to find traces of both Doll and Kun Wu.

    On the other side, Matcha was just done with educating the wailing Mei Mei when a supercat suddenly walked up to him and said, ¡°Manager Cha, there¡¯s a cat looking for you. He says he knows you.¡±

    ¡°He knows me? Who¡¯s that?¡±

    ¡°Matcha, it¡¯s me!¡± Yellow Mud stared at Matcha, slightly abashed, as he said, ¡°They said this Cat Wondend is run by you guys. I didn¡¯t believe them at first, but wow Matcha you¡¯re really amazing! You¡¯re already a manager at such a young age!¡±

    Matcha patted Yellow Mud¡¯s head affectionately and said, ¡°So it¡¯s you, Yellow Mud. Come,e, let me treat you to some meat. We brothers haven¡¯t met in such a long while.¡±

    Not long after, tes of fish and meat were served on the table. Yellow Mud gaped at the food before him and said agitatedly, ¡°Matcha, this... this is really your treat for me?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, go ahead and eat.¡±

    Yellow Mud looked at the meat that was still being served and immediately waved his paws and gestured to stop as he said, ¡°Enough, enough, we can¡¯t finish so much food.¡± Especially after seeing the price of the food on the menu, Yellow Mud was so shocked that he dropped a whole bunch of fur. He told Matcha in a small voice, ¡°Matcha, this ce is so expensive.¡±

    Matcha waved him off and said, ¡°Rx, you don¡¯t need to pay when you eat with me.¡±

    ¡°Really? Matcha you really made it big now, how amazing...¡± Yellow Mud¡¯s eyes immediately glowed with admiration.

    After three rounds of meat, Matcha looked at Yellow Mud and asked, ¡°Old friend, is something bothering you? Is there something you need my help with?¡±

    Yellow Mud rubbed his paws together as he replied shyly, ¡°Recently there has been a massive clean up of the streets so there¡¯s been less and less food avable...¡±

    After listening to Yellow Mud¡¯sint, Matcha¡¯s eyes gleamed and he thought to himself, ¡°Is he here to borrow money from me? Yellow Mud has taken care of me for a period of time. I can lend him 50, no, 20 dors.¡±

    While Matcha was analyzing Yellow Mud¡¯s motive, Yellow Mud continued, ¡°Now, it is harder and harder to live on the streets. The leftovers are getting scarce. More and more people like to eat spicy strips and rear dogs. The dogs love to chase us around. It is unsafe to continue living like this. It is not good for Floret too. So I was thinking of getting a job.¡±

    Yellow Mud looked at Matcha sincerely. ¡°Matcha, I heard that you are the manager here so I came to ask if I can work here.¡±

    Upon seeing Matcha¡¯s expression change, Yellow Mud said immediately, ¡°Burying cat litter, tidying cat beds, licking fur, mopping the floor, and cleaning, I can do all of that!¡±

    ¡°This...¡± Matcha fell silent and looked at Yellow Mud¡¯s appearance. He thought, ¡°The fastest way to make money is the top floors. As long as there are customers asking for him, he will have no problem surviving with his sister. But, Yellow Mud looks too ordinary, he is no match for the flirtatious bitch above.¡±

    Thinking of this, Matcha rejected the idea. ¡°Then, work below? But, Yellow Mud does not have enoughbat powers and isn¡¯t fierce enough. He isn¡¯t as resourceful and sophisticated as me...¡±

    Just as Matcha was in a dilemma, Milk Tea ran over happily and had a rat in his mouth. He shouted as he ran over. ¡°Brother Matcha, let¡¯s go. You said that you would catch rats with me today.¡± He ran into Matcha¡¯s stomach and snuggled happily.

    Matcha¡¯s eyes were filled with sorrow. ¡°Who wants to catch rats? It¡¯s so childish. Adult cats y Mobile Legends.¡± Milk Tea, who was on his tummy, looked at him with anticipation. Matcha could not bear to reject him.

    Matcha felt more mncholic. ¡°Aye, ever since this silly boy came, I no longer have a private life. How long has it been since I went to a bar, or on a date with other female cats or yed Mobile Legends. It is all because of him.¡±

    Then, his phone rang. He pulled it out and saw that Fish Ball had invited him to a bar.

    Fish Ball said, ¡°Brother, I am unhappy. Come out and suck catmint with me.¡±

    Matcha was surprised.

    Fish Ball continued, ¡°That kid transferred all the money that I earned... What did I do to deserve this?!¡±

    Matcha looked at his phone again and nced at Milk Tea. ¡°How do I choose between my brother and him? This is so hard.¡±

    Fish Ball added, ¡°Matcha, there is a new Norwegian Forest cat at the catmint bar. Her eyes are so huge. Her fur is so slick and I heard that even her tail smells like catmint...¡±

    Looking at the picture Fish Ball sent, Matcha heard his calling. He felt that he could not let his brother down. He could not abandon his brother when he was so miserable.

    What about Milk Tea?

    He looked at Milk Tea and remembered Yellow Mud who was by his side. His eyes lit up and he chatted privately with Yellow Mud. ¡°Yellow Mud, why don¡¯t you take care of this kitten?¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Yellow Mud looked at Milk Tea in surprise and answered, ¡°I can do it, but...¡±

    ¡°There are no buts. I shall hand this kitten over to you. As long as he does not starve, you can hit him or scold him. From now on, you are an employee of the Cat Wondend. You can report to Zhao Yaoter when you are free.¡± Matcha smiled and told Milk Tea. ¡°Milk Tea, I have something nned today. I can¡¯t y with you today. Uncle Yellow Mud will apany you.¡±

    Then, Matcha wanted to leave. After taking a step, he realized he was stuck. He turned back and saw Milk Tea biting onto his tail looking at him angrily.

    Matcha said with a straight face, ¡°Why are you so disobedient? I have something important to do and I have no time for you.¡±

    Milk Tea asked, ¡°What thing is it? Is it going to the bar? These few nights, you kept saying that you wanted to go to the bar. What is a bar?¡±

    ¡°What are you talking about? How can you say that,¡± Matcha answered in panic. ¡°Now, international rtions are so tense and supernatural powers are on the rise. The number of small scale wars are increasing drastically. Why would I be in the mood to go to the bar at such times? I don¡¯t even have enough time to study global politics and economic environment. What would a kid like you understand about such international events?¡±

    Matcha picked Milk Tea up and threw him to Yellow Mud. Then, he turned and walked away. ¡°Be obedient and listen to Yellow Mud. I will be back tonight.¡±

    He rushed out of Cat Wondend and felt relieved. It was as if he had gotten rid of a big burden and felt unprecedented freedom.

    ¡°Hahahaha, I have finally gotten rid of that burden! Norwegian Forest cat, oh I mean, Fish Ball, I aming! Hahaha.¡±

    Yellow Mud and Milk Tea stared at each other for awhile. Milk Tea pouted his lips and said, ¡°I am Milk Tea. Give me money.¡±

    Yellow Mud was speechless and thought to himself, ¡°¡®What has Matcha taught this kitten?¡±

    ...

    In an underground base in the United States.

    The entire base was filled with special cells. There were cells covered in a nutrient solution and some filled with liquid.

    Some were entirely made out of stic. No metal was seen in the cell.

    Some modeled a vacuum and there was almost no air in them.

    This variety of cells was what the United States government used to imprison different types of dangerous supercats.

    Now, all the cell doors were broken and the supercats escaped. rms were ringing through the entire base but there was no trace of any guards or the army onsite.

    Coffee was behind X as they walked towards the deepest part of the base.

    Coffee asked, ¡°Boss, do we not need the escaping cats?¡±

    X shook his head. ¡°They are just ordinary supercats. I have the data of their powers. It is okay to let them leave.¡± He looked in front andughed. ¡°These few supercats are the interesting ones.¡±

    As they spoke, a ck figure charged forward and cast a shadow over their heads.

    Behind the shadow, a Maine Coon that was the size of a tiger walked up to them. Its tail would whip the air and an explosion could be heard.

    Behind X and Coffee, another half transparent supercat appeared slowly and looked at them wickedly.

    The invisible cat asked coldly, ¡°Who are you?¡±

    The Maine Coon said menacingly, ¡°You guys let me out?¡± He licked his lips and said, ¡°I am going to eat both of you!¡±

    The shadow on the wall let out a growl.

    ¡°Hahaha.¡± Project Xughed when he saw the three cats. ¡°Hey viin cats, let¡¯s overthrow this world together.¡±

    The three cats looked offended when they heard Project Xugh.

    All of them were viewed as highly dangerous supercats by the United States Army. They all had extraordinary powers, even the United States Army would not let them go. Now that they were finally out, why would they want to be restrained again?

    Project X seemed to understand the thoughts of the three supercats and he walked over slowly. ¡°Cats y with rats and humans y with cats. This cruel world has always been ruled by the strongest. No one cares about the feelings of the weak.

    And I can y with the entire human world. I will be the dictator of this. Would you be willing to follow me and watch me dominate the world?¡±

    As he spoke, a strong malice engulfed them and the air seemed to be getting thicker and thicker. It made the Maine Coon and invisible cat wobble and they found it hard to stand still.

    Behind Project X was Coffee, who stood there and looked at Project X with admiration. He shouted in his mind, ¡°If it is Project X, he is sure to achieve it. He is destined to be standing at the top of this world.¡±

    Roar! Upon seeing the Maine Coon and Invisible cat¡¯s fear and hesitation, the shadow cat roared loudly. The shadows turned into countless weapons and rushed towards Project X.

    In the face of the shadow barrage, Project X merely raised his hand and all the shadows gathered in his palm.

    When the supercat felt that his shadows were converging towards Project X¡¯s hands uncontrobly, he panicked. ¡°What... what have you done?! Why can you control my shadows?¡±

    ¡°Why?¡± Project Xughed. ¡°Do you ask why you can breathe? Why your heart is beating? Why you can drink water? I am just taking back what¡¯s mine.¡±

    The shadows in the air were raging and in the supercat¡¯s scream, countless shadows merged violently towards Project X¡¯s paws. No matter how hard he struggled, all the shadows were drawn out forcefully and then gathered again to form a ck cat.

    Looking at the ck cat¡¯s frightened face, Project X stroked his head and looked at the Maine Coon and Invisible cat. ¡°Follow me until this world ispletely ruled by cats.¡±

    The two catsy down onto the floor trembling as they conceded under such strong malice.

    The four cats, including Coffee, walked out of the base with Project X. Coffee asked, ¡°Boss, where are we going next?¡±

    Project X did not answer him and looked at the sky instead. He reached out his paw suddenly.

    There were invisible fluctuations in the atmosphere and the sky looked like it was frozen.

    A missile soared through the sky and came above them. It halted and was frozen in mid air.

    ¡°Missile?¡± Maine Coon shouted, ¡°They are trying to kill us with a missile? These people think too lowly of us.¡±

    Project X tilted his neck and bewilderedly said, ¡°It is not a normal missile. I feel a strong threat from it. If it explodes, except for me, all of you will die.¡± Then he grabbed the missile from thousands miles away.

    Th Invisible cat looked at the approaching missile and when he saw the symbol on it, he shouted, ¡°It is a nuclear bomb! Damn, these humans are crazy! Throw it out! It¡¯s a nuclear bomb and we are still in its range!¡±

    Upon hearing Invisible cat, the other cats jumped. They were so close to the bomb. They were sure to be dead.

    Invisible cat looked at Project X and wondered what evil Project X had done for the Americans tounch a nuclear bomb on their ownnd. It was beyond his imagination.

    Project X showed interest. ¡°So this is a nuclear bomb? The ultimate weapon of humans?¡± The next moment, he drew in the bomb and all the cats around him were shedding their fur in fright.

    When, the nuclear bomb came in front of Project X, it has already been dismantled into many small pieces.

    Coffee looked at this scene in shock. ¡°Bo... Boss? What are you doing?¡±

    ¡°Learning.¡± Project X said slowly. ¡°The universe is huge and life is small. Any small thing has something worth learning, like you guys, like this.¡±

    The next moment, the entire nuclear bomb was reassembled and looked like it was new.

    Project X smiled and asked Coffee, ¡°Where is the nearest gathering ce for humans?¡±

    Milk Tea went to a white cat and said, ¡°Give me money!¡±

    While the white cat was looking at Milk Tea curiously, Yellow Mud rushed up and carried Milk Tea away.

    Milk Tea was kicking around in the air and asked in angrily, ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    Yellow Mud put Milk Tea down and was pretty speechless. ¡°What were you doing just now? How could you ask a stranger for money?¡±

    Milk Tea snorted and said proudly, ¡°This was what Brother Matcha had taught me. If I do ordingly, I can eat and y without needing to worry about my survival for a lifetime.¡±

    Yellow Mud pressed his paw against his face. ¡°What is Matcha thinking?¡±

    When he saw Milk Tea look puzzled, Yellow Mud thought to himself, ¡°I cannot lower this kid¡¯s self-esteem...¡±

    He thought about it and said, ¡°Milk Tea, as a cat, you cannot just ask other cats for money.¡±

    ¡°Why? Brother Matcha said that everyone¡¯s money is his. They are just temporarily ced with others so I can just take it.¡±

    Whenever Milk Tea spoke of Matcha, his eyes would light up with admiration. Yellow Mud could not bear to crush his beliefs and he could only say, ¡°But everyone needs money. If you take away other cats¡¯ money... They have to eat too, then won¡¯t they have no money? Milk Tea have you been hungry? You don¡¯t want them to go hungry right?¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Milk Tea frowned and thought for awhile. ¡°It is a terrible feeling to go hungry. But if I don¡¯t ask others for money, where will I get the money from?¡±

    Yellow Mud smiled and stroked Milk Tea¡¯s head. ¡°Let me teach you the real way to earn money.¡±

    Milk Tea¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°The real way to earn money?¡±

    Yellow Mud nodded. ¡°Yes, a way so that Milk Tea and the others will not go hungry.¡±

    In the catmint bar, Fish Ball was lying in the cat bed and grabbing the heap of catmint beside him to suck on it.

    In front of him, five to six female cats were staring at him.

    Fish Ballughed, ¡°Why are you guys staring at me like this? You are making me embarrassed.¡±

    ¡°Cut the nonsense! When are you going to pay!¡±

    Fish Ball shook his head. ¡°I did not bring money.¡±

    ¡°What! You want all this for free? Sisters, peel off his skin!¡±

    ¡°Wait!¡± Fish Ball raised his paws and shouted, ¡°Although I have no money, my brother has money. He ising to pay the bills soon.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡±

    ¡°Of course he is real. He is stupid but rich. When he is here, just cheat him of his money. Take out everything you have. I know that except for Dust Ball Catmint, you guys smuggled other goods.¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t he your brother?¡±

    ¡°We are just superficial friends. We only sucked catmint together for a few times. Not that close.¡±

    ...

    Yellow Mud asked around and walked up towards the office.

    As they walked, Yellow Mud told Milk Tea. ¡°Milk Tea, you have to learn how to earn money yourself. Do things yourself and you won¡¯t ever have to ask others for money again.¡±

    Milk Tea nodded his head. ¡°Okay.¡± But he still had no idea what Yellow Mud was talking about.

    Then, the two cats saw Zhao Yao sitting in the sofa gaming. Yellow Mud pointed to Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Look, Zhao Yao is the boss of Cat Wondend. You have to find him...¡±

    ¡°I understand!¡± Milk Tea¡¯s eyes lit up and ran off before Yellow Mud could finish his sentence.

    ¡°He understood it so fast?¡± Yellow Mud saw Milk Tea jump onto Zhao Yao¡¯sp and was meowing. He thought to himself. ¡°Is he asking Zhao Yao for a job? What a good boy.¡±

    Then, Zhao Yaoughed and gave Milk Tea a hundred dor bill. Milk Tea held the bill in his mouth and ran over to Yellow Mud happily. He said proudly, ¡°I have earned money! Yellow Mud!¡±

    When he saw Yellow Mud looking confused, he continued, ¡°I understand how to earn money now! I just have to ask Master Zhao!¡±

    Milk Tea exined, ¡°Brother Matcha said that Master Zhao has so much money that he can¡¯t spend. If given a chance, I have to keep asking him for money. Since he has so much money then everyone can ask Master Zhao for money and no one will have to go hungry anymore!¡±

    Yellow Mud stood up on his hind legs and grabbed onto his head as he twisted his body around.

    He looked at Milk Tea in horror and screamed internally, ¡°Matcha! What have you taught him!¡± He looked at the little orange cat in front him and thought in horror. ¡°Is another Matcha going to be formed?¡±

    He thought back to the days where he was scavenging with Matcha and the horrors being ordered around.

    ¡°Yellow Mud! Are we going to eat?¡±

    Yellow Mud grabbed onto his head and shook it violently.

    ¡°No! There can¡¯t be another Matcha in the world.¡±

    Thinking of this, Yellow Mud told Milk Tea with determination, ¡°Milk Tea, there is no such thing as money that can¡¯t be finished. Even if it is Zhao Yao, the amount of money he has is limited. If everyone asks him for money, then he will have no money too. By then, everyone will have to go hungry together.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Milk Tea recalled the morning when Zhao Yao was swimming around in money and nodded. ¡°It looks limited.¡±

    ¡°Thats why...¡± Yellow Mud raised a paw and stroked Milk Tea¡¯s head. ¡°Let¡¯s not ask Zhao Yao for money anymore, okay?¡±

    Milk Tea nodded and asked, ¡°What about this one hundred dors?¡±

    ¡°Give it back to Zhao Yao.¡± Yellow Mud continued, ¡°Then, ask Zhao Yao for a job at the Cat Wondend. Milk Tea, you have to work to get money okay?¡±

    ¡°Work?¡± Milk Tea remembered the scene he saw every morning.

    ...

    Matcha would yawn and crawl out from the bed.

    Milk Tea will open his sleepy eyes and ask, ¡°Brother Matcha, where are you going?¡±

    ¡°To work.¡± Matcha answered as he looked like he was going to die.

    Milk Tea asked, ¡°Why do you have to work everyday?¡±

    Matcha forced his eyes open with his paws and answered Milk Tea seriously. ¡°Working everyday is every strong cat¡¯s fate.¡±

    ...

    Milk Tea recalled what Matcha had said and nodded. ¡°I understand! I am going to work!¡± He turned around and ran towards Zhao Yao, who was on the sofa.

    Zhao Yao was scrolling through Cat web on his cell phone.

    ¡°Wow, the United States exploded.¡± Zhao Yao looked at the news in shock. He was still in disbelief.

    A few hours ago, a nuclear bomb exploded in the air of the United States. Luckily, it exploded high above the ground and that area was deserted. Furthermore, it was a small bomb, hence, it did not result in serious casualties.

    Even so, exploding a nuclear bomb in the atmosphere hadimpacted the United States and the entire world.

    Now, the entire United States was in chaos. Although the United States government had exined that it was an ident all kinds of gossips leaked. The world¡¯s underground gangs and superpower realm went in a frenzy.

    ¡°Aye, all the foreigners are so chaotic. It is safer at home.¡±

    Zhao Yao felt his thighs sink and he asked without looking. ¡°Why Milk Tea? Is the money not enough?¡±

    Milk Tea ced the hundred dor bill in Zhao Yao¡¯sp and nudged Zhao Yao in his tummy. ¡°Master Zhao! I don¡¯t want money. I want a job! I want to earn money!¡±

    ¡°Hahaha.¡± Zhao Yaoughed and stroked Milk Tea¡¯s head in his confusion. ¡°Silly kid...¡±

    He thought to himself, ¡°How much can a job earn? From my experience, if you want to be rich find a big sponsor.¡±

    When he was about to say this, Milk Tea started to look like Matcha.

    Zhao Yao thought about it, ¡°Am I favoring Milk Tea too much? Will he end up like Matcha? All he knows is how to ask money from me.¡±

    As he thought about it, Zhao Yao¡¯s phone rang. He opened and saw Matcha¡¯s message.

    ¡°Zhao Yao! I am tricked! They tricked me into taking many a lot of catmint. When I was going to pay for the bill then they told me it was in the tens of thousand. If I can¡¯t pay up, they won¡¯t let me go!¡±

    ¡°Right.¡± Zhao Yaoughed coldly. ¡°Trying to cheat me of my money again¡±¡®

    Zhao Yao looked at Matcha¡¯s message then looked at Milk Tea and he could help but picture a scene...

    ...

    Matcha, who was 100kg, was lying on the sofa at home. He was so fat he could not turn around. He was pressing on his phone and shouting, ¡°Zhao Yao! Give me some money! There is a new skin again!¡±

    Zhao Yao was as skinny as bones as he walked up trembling and sighed, ¡°All the money in our house has been spent. There is no more money.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t care! Old Man, give me some money!¡± Matcha¡¯s short and fat limbs hit against the ground repeatedly as he yelled, ¡°Meow wah wah! If you don¡¯t give me money. I am not going to eat!¡±

    ¡°There is really no money.¡±

    On the other bed, Milk Tea, who was also 100kg started howling, ¡°I want money too! Meow wah wah! Old Man, give me money too! Or I won¡¯t eat!¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao inhaled a mouthful of air. He looked at Yellow Mud who was staring at him and thought, ¡°I can¡¯t let them live idly anymore.¡±

    He thought about it and nodded. ¡°Okay, since you want to work so much. I will give you a job.¡± Zhao Yao rubbed his chin and said, ¡°From today on you will be in charged of Cat Wondend¡¯s...¡±

    He thought about it and could not think of what to arrange for Milk Tea.

    ¡°Receiving guest in the lobby? No, Milk Tea is too young. Serving the dishes? He does not have the strength. Helping out in the casino? What if he bes another Cannon? Be a leader? Lead the other supercats? Is that favoring him too much?¡±

    ¡°He has to start from the bottom.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Milk Tea and said, ¡°From today on you will be in charge of the cleanliness in the Cat Wondend. Report to me everyday before you sleep. I will sent a cat to check. The more you clean and the cleaner it is, the higher your pay will be.

    ¡°Yeah!¡± Milk Teaughed and jumped in joy. ¡°I can work too!¡± His mind was filled with the image of Matcha working. Milk Tea skipped over to Yellow Mud. ¡°Yellow Mud! Let¡¯s go and work!¡±

    Yellow Mud came out from the corner shyly and nodded at Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao told him. ¡°You pay will be the same as Milk Tea. This is to make sure that you take care of him.¡±

    Yellow Mud nodded his head and brought Milk Tea away. He thought, ¡°Zhao Yao is quite nice. He is not as unfriendly as the rumors say he is.¡±

    ...

    In the catmint bar, Matcha was cornered. There were a dozen of tall and strong supercats looking at him and the entire room was locked up.

    ¡°You want to activate your powers and escape?¡±

    ¡°You consumed our catmint and want to leave without paying!¡±

    ¡°You still dare w my face! I was almost disfigured!¡±

    ¡°Beat him up! Beat him until he is willing to pay up!¡±

    Matcha was crying as he messaged, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! Hurry up and transfer me the money! They want to kill me!¡±

    Fish Ball stopped the cats and said, ¡°Guys wait! Stop!¡±

    Upon seeing Fish Ball, Matcha shouted, ¡°Fish Ball! Save me! Tell them that I have no money! I am just working at a construction site. How do I produce tens of thousands to suck catmint?¡±

    Fish Ball nodded and looked at the cats. ¡°He is right. This orange cat does not have much money.¡±

    Upon hearing this, all the cats were very frustrated and dejected.

    ¡°Why do youe if you have no money!¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that he was rich!¡±

    ¡°Tie all of them up!¡±

    Fish Ball saw that he was being raised up too and shouted, ¡°Wait! Wait!¡±

    Fish Ball shouted, ¡°Although this fat cat does not have much money, his owner is rich! His owner is super duper rich! Do you know Jack Ma? He is richer than Jack Ma!¡±

    The cats stopped and looked at Matcha excitedly as if he were at a chest of treasure.

    Matcha was agitated as he looked at Fish Ball. ¡°What! You betrayed me!¡±

    ¡°Idiot.¡± Fish Ball said privately, ¡°I wanted you toe and save me! Why didn¡¯t you bring any cats? Where is Zhao Yao? Ask Zhao Yao toe over. This is a trap. Ask Zhao Yao toe and destroy it.¡±

    ¡°Oh... Oh... Oh...¡± Matcha nodded and pressed his phone. ¡°I will contact Zhao Yao immediately...¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao picked up his phone and read Matcha¡¯s message. He shook his head, blocked Matcha and continued to read about the international situation.

    It seemed like ever since the Europe incident, all countries had started either cing emphasis on or being more lenient with the development of supercats. The originally dangerous supercats who had been hidden away were in use now. Supercats were behind what happened in the Eastern Desert and in the United States.

    The powers of these supercats were either strange or very strong. It was beyond ordinary people¡¯s imaginations. They could take on human armies alone.

    Zhao Yao looked at the posts on the Cat web. Now supercats and apostles called the apostles or supercats who could take on an army disasters.

    ¡°I have to improve mybat skills too.¡±

    The best way for Zhao Yao to improve hisbat skills was to run Cat Wondend and increase Cat Wondend¡¯s earnings so that he could increase the monthly settlements in exchange for more Experience Points.

    Expanding his share of the catmint market was another way. He had to increase the number of chances at the lottery to get more equipment like the Paralysis Ring, Titanium Dog Eye, Spicy Cat Strips or even fragments of the Cat Prince Costume to redeem the real Cat Prince Costume.

    For the Catmint market, with the Catmint prohibition, although there was still a lot of smuggling and unauthorized trafficking going on, with officials fighting against it, Dust Ball Catmint dominated arger part of the market. Hence, Zhao Yao didn¡¯t need to worry about it.

    However, regarding the Cat Wondend, he could help and increase the speed of the renovation.

    After all, the Cat Wondend had only opened 40% of its space. There were still a lot of spaces in the shop under construction and renovation. All these could bring profit.

    When he wasn¡¯t busy, Zhao Yao helped the construction team with Cat Wondend¡¯s renovation. With the Deflective Field, Time Freeze and the Extradimensional Belly, he could greatly improve the efficiency of the construction team. He could probably finish the renovation by the end of this month.

    Project X stood in the raging wind and looked at the vibrant nightlife of Tokyo with a smile.

    Behind him was Coffee and the three supercats. Theyid there and looked at Project X with admiration.

    Coffee asked, ¡°Boss, why did wee here? The United States Army cannot do anything to us...¡±

    ¡°My purpose is not to toy with the human governments.¡± Project X took a deep breath and looked at the streets. ¡°I can feel an evil presence in the West and he has provoked resentment in many of the cats. He will try and stop my ns, hence, I have to get rid of him in advance.¡±

    Maine Coon opened his mouth and revealed his teeth. He asked menacingly. ¡°Where is he? Let me go and eat him up!¡±

    ¡°I have not found him yet. There¡¯s no hurry. We can search slowly.¡± Then Project X fished out a small poster. He smiled and said, ¡°Before this, let¡¯s go and watch a movie.¡±

    On the poster was Kaede Hattori dressed as a monster.

    In an apartment in Tokyo, posters, magazines and newspapers were thrown over a low cab. They were various monster movie posters.

    Kaede Hattori sat in the living room and looked at his right hand. Strands of red light solidified and were molded into different shapes.

    Ever since he started filming horror movies and decided to act in them, Kaede Hattori could feel his terror energy growing rapidly. It was improving at an unprecedented speed.

    Compared to the past where he survived on the Japanese supernatural realm¡¯s fear of him, now he could garner so much more.

    ¡°Divine Rays of Terror have improved again.¡± Kaede Hattori¡¯s eyes narrowed and the red light crystallized. It fell on to the floor with a crisp sound.

    ¡°It can already solidify. Even if I use it to intervene in reality, it does not consume as much energy. That¡¯s incredible.¡±

    While Kaede Hattori was studying how to improve the Divine Rays of Terror, a supercat meowed before walking out of the bedroom. The supercat walked in front of Kaede Hattori and rubbed against his leg meowing.

    ¡°Are you hungry, Sakura?¡± Kaede Hattori stroked her head and Sakura snuggled against his palm.

    Looking at the cute supercat, Kaede Hattori couldn¡¯t help but smile.

    Ever since he left the Japan Special Higher Police, he had set up an organization to fight against the American apostles to ensure the independence of the Japanese supernatural realm. He kept the supercat by his side as the safest ce in all of Japan was by his side.

    He stood up, opened the canned food and ced it in front of Sakura. He smiled with satisfaction when he saw Sakura curling her tail and eating the food happily.

    Then, the doorbell rang.

    ¡°Delivery!¡±

    ¡°Delivery?¡± Kaede Hattori frowned. ¡°I ordered a delivery?¡±

    Outside the door, several armed American soldiers were pointing their guns at the door.

    Recently, because of Kaede Hattori¡¯s actions, the American army had been met with severe hindrances in the region of the Pacific Ocean. Capturing Kaede Hattori had be their priority.

    This time, they not only found his location but all the apostles who came were fully armed. They had all consumed a newly developed tranquilizer and had a certain amount of resistance against Kaede Hattori¡¯s Divine Rays of Terror.

    When they were ready for battle, a red wave surged out from under the door and charged towards the apostles in the corridor.

    ¡°Be careful! The target has appeared!¡±

    ¡°Charge!¡±

    The Divine Rays of Terror swept past their bodies. Although a few apostles fell to the floor trembling, the majority of the apostles who had taken the tranquilizer only paused for a few moments. Then, they took a few seconds before bing calm again.

    Then, their bodies started to change and Robot Fusion was activated. Cannons started emerging from their bodies as they charged into the room.

    When they stepped through the door, they felt like they had entered another dimension. On the endless dark red floor, hordes of zombies rushed in their direction.

    When they were about the shoot, red tentacles crawled out from the dark red floor and wrapped around their bodies.

    Soon, all sorts of screams rang throughout the building.

    ...

    After a few minutes, on the roof of a building in Tokyo. Kaede Hattori looked at the Divine Rays of Terror on his hand and nodded. ¡°Now, my Divine Rays of Terror can solidify, parts of them can even distort dimensions and create illusions. The creatures can listen to simple instructions.¡±

    Thinking of this, Kaede Hattoriughed. As long as his fear spread, soon he would be the most terrifying apostle in the world.

    Sakura was behind Kaede Hattori and was rubbing against his leg. Then, she suddenly stopped and snarled continuously at the shadows. She was emitting Divine Rays of Terror from her body.

    Kaede Hattori turned his head sharply and shouted coldly, ¡°Who is it?¡±

    Arge Maine Coon walked out from the shadows, opened his mouth and revealed two incisors that were more than 10 cm long. He drooled as he looked at the human and the cat.

    ¡°What¡¯s this?¡±

    Kaede Hattori was shocked and when he saw the Maine Coon pounce towards him. He released the Divine Rays of Terror towards the cat.

    Then, he saw the Maine Coon pass through the Divine Rays of Terror like they were air. The cat continued charging and was about to w his head.

    ¡°The Divine Rays of Terror don¡¯t frighten him?¡± Although Kaede Hattori was surprised, he did not panic. The Divine Rays of Terror solidified and became a dozen tentacles that wrapped around the cat.

    However, the tentacles, which were strong enough to destroy an entire truck, were struggling to trap the Maine Coon.

    ¡°Hahaha.¡± The Maine Coon, who was wrapped in the tentacles,ughed. Then, the part below the Maine Coon¡¯s neck started to distort and a mouth grew out of it. ¡°You like to y with tentacles?

    Then check this out!!¡±

    Swish! A part of the Maine Coon¡¯s body started to swell and soon it exploded revealing long and thick tentacles from within. It tore apart the solidified Divine Rays of Terror and whipped towards Kaede Hattori.

    ¡°What is this?¡± Kaede Hattori¡¯s eyes jerked opened and released more violent Divine Rays of Terror. The Rays collided with the cat.

    As the battle continued, Kaede Hattori got more surprised. The cat was like a terrifying monster that did not know what fear was. No matter how many Divine Rays of Terror he released, they did not even halt the cat for a moment.

    The Maine Coon¡¯s body was more like a monster than the monsters created with his Divine Rays of Terror.

    The Maine Coon was like abination of several life forms. He could grow ws, teeth, even eyes, ears or a spear in his tail.

    As their battle was getting more intense, a voice called out to it.

    Maine Coon stopped immediately and retreated even if it meant getting a blow from Kaede Hattori. His tail dropped and the Maine Coon retreated back to Project X and snuggled against Project X¡¯s body.

    The tail, full of bone spurs, looked alive as it jumped around afternding on the ground. Then it jumped to Maine Coon¡¯s legs, where it merged with his body.

    Project X patted Maine Coon¡¯s head and said gently, ¡°It¡¯s alright. This man has some abilities. It is normal if you are defeated.¡±

    Kaede Hattori ignored the Maine Coon and turned to look at Project X, who hade out of nowhere. He said grimly, ¡°What... kind of a creature are you?¡±

    He felt strongly oppressed after seeing this half-human, half-feline creature, like a rat seeing a cat or a little chicken encountering a wolf.

    Kaede Hattori, who possessed the Divine Rays of Terror, felt an instinctive fear.

    Meow!!! Even Sakura, who was at his feet, purred with apprehension, her fur standing up.

    Project X caressed the head of Maine Coon, from whose back dozens of tentacles and sharp ws protruded. The bone spurs on the tail shrunk back inside and the cat had be a huge Maine Coon, who knelt at one side licking his paws.

    Project X turned to look at the purring Sakura and raised up his paw to beckon her to keep quiet.

    Sakura kept quiet and wagged her tail restlessly. She didn¡¯t make any other sounds.

    Project X looked at Kaede Hattori and said, ¡°What do you think... is the real fear?¡±

    As Kaede Hattori was about to answer, his eyes saw darkness and he felt dizzy. When he opened his eyes, he felt a debilitating weakness affecting his whole body.

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°Why... do I feel so weak?¡±

    He lifted his head, surveyed the surroundings and discovered that he had fallen in a small alley. A man¡¯s figure, who was squatting nearby, made popping sounds.

    ¡°Hey!¡± Kaede Hattori raised his hand to catch his attention and discovered he was meowing and his hand was a soft paw.

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°Have I turned into a cat?¡±

    The squatting man turned his head, looked excitedly at Kaede Hattori and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be impatient. It will be your turn soon.¡±

    Kaede Hattori looked behind his back and saw a bloody female cat lying on the ground. Her limbs were contorted and her eyes popped out from her head. She abruptly pounced on his calves but only managed to bite his trousers.

    The female cat continued biting and struggled feebly.

    The man was antagonized and he lifted a rock and smashed it on her body.

    He stood up and walked towards Kaede Hattori.

    ¡°D*mn! Is he abusing cats?¡±

    ¡°What is he going to do next? Kill me?¡±

    ¡°What about my Divine Rays of Terror? Where is Sakura?¡±

    Kaede Hattori tried all his might to activate his superpower. He wanted to stand up and run. Instead he rolled over and moved a few centimeters.

    He realized that he was a newborn kitten, barely the size of a palm, unable to stand up or run. For him, activating superpower was out of the question.

    The approaching man looked menacinglyrger. He looked almost like a giant and his every step shook the ground.

    The man bent his back and grabbed Kaede Hattori.

    Kaede Hattori used all his strength to move his body but only moved by a few centimeters. He looked dejectedly at the palm approach, brushed his body, and grab a kitten next to him.

    Bam! The kitten was thrown up the sky and made tond on the mud floor.

    The kitten convulsed in the mud before it was kicked and sent flying over a distance of more than ten meters. A boundless fear arose in Kaede Hattori.

    It was the instinctive and great fear that arises in all lives when faced with imminent death.

    ¡°Hahahaha, it¡¯s your turn.¡±

    The man grabbed Kaede Hattori, who struggled violently with his four limbs to be free of his palm. However, the man¡¯s palm had the weight of a gigantic mountain that a little kitten could not push off.

    He wed at the man¡¯s hand but his new ws were unable to break the man¡¯s skin.

    He was extremely weak. Even a rat could bite him to death so a human could do him a lot more harm.

    ¡°Why... why do you want to kill me?...¡±

    He was shrouded by a deep sense of hopelessness and his fear of death was amplified by the instinctive need for survival.

    ¡°Why do you want to kill me?¡±

    After he was tossed up and he gradually plummeted to the ground, the fear increased exponentially. When hended with a loud bang, excruciating pain, hopelessness, and fear exploded within his body.

    Boom!

    When Kaede Hattori recovered from his daze, he was standing on the balcony, his body wet from the cold sweat. Project X, who was standing before him, came out of nowhere. His feline face smiling merrily at him as he said, ¡°The most terrifying thing in the world are not illusory monsters but from the cruelty of reality.¡±

    Kaede Hattori was still feeling that great sense of hopelessness and shuddered as he said, ¡°Who are you?¡±

    Project X¡¯s paws slowly touched Kaede Hattori¡¯s head, his pupils contracting to a single line as he uttered grimly, ¡°I... am your greatest fear.¡±

    In the Cat Wondend, Milk Tea¡¯s head was covered by a towel and his four paws were wearing small shoes as he pushed the cleaning cloth and ran around polishing the floor tiles in the main hall.

    Huff and puff!

    After a hard time cleaning half of the hall, he paused for a while, panting heavily. Yellow Mud, who was simrly dressed, held a bowl of water in his mouth and said, ¡°Drink some water to prevent heat stroke in this warm weather.¡±

    Milk Tea put his tiny head into the bowl and started gulping the water.

    He abruptly lifted his head, exhaled and said, ¡°So tiring... Working is very very tiring.¡±

    Yellow Mud tapped Milk Tea¡¯s head and said, ¡°Milk Tea, you must appreciate every precious dor earned from work. It is not easy to make a living.¡±

    At this moment, his phone received a notification from Wechat which Yellow Mud picked up, looking happy as he said, ¡°We are receiving yesterday¡¯s sry.¡±

    ¡°Huh? Our sry is paid? Milk Tea happily opened his cell phone but was disappointed by what he saw. ¡°We have done so much... We are only paid about 100 dors...¡±

    He thought he could obtain 100 dors easily just by asking and felt depressed.

    ¡°It¡¯s already a lot.¡± Yellow Mud consoled him. ¡°After you have worked and understand that money is hard to earn, you shouldn¡¯t take other people¡¯s hard-earned money.¡±

    Milk Tea recalled the pool of money in the Extradimensional Belly and nodded. He thought to himself, ¡°Master Zhao must have worked very hard as it is not easy to earn so much money. I have to work hard to earn more money.¡±

    After Yellow Mud¡¯s encouragement, Milk Tea cleaned the floor diligently.

    After cleaning for a while, he lifted his head puzzled and asked, ¡°What¡¯s happening? I remembered I cleaned here before. Why did it get dirty again?¡±

    A few minutester, the clean floor tiles were dirtied with paw prints. Milk Tea was frustrated and said, ¡°Who is the mean culprit? Didn¡¯t they see that it was wet? And they still stepped on the tiles wilfully?¡±

    Milk Tea pouted his lips and followed the trail of ck paw prints. He saw a ruffled Matcha, looking like a refugee, sprawled on the ground and hugging a pail of water. Matcha spat out his tongue and drank like he had not drunk for days. He looked like he had been raped by many people.

    Matcha said viciously, ¡°Those people thought they were smart and yet I escaped. I will rest for a while before I bring some cats over to wreck their ce. Let¡¯s see if they dare gang up against me.¡±

    Milk Tea walked in front of Matcha, frowned at him, and questioned him angrily, ¡°Brother Matcha, why did you dirty the floor that I cleaned? There are other ces to walk. I will have to clean the dirty floor again.¡±

    Matcha looked condescending at Milk Tea and said, ¡°You are cleaning the floor?¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡± Milk Tea stood with his chest out and said, ¡°I want to earn money!¡± He fumed. ¡°Do not walk on the areas that I have cleaned. Wait until it dries before walking on the floor!¡±

    Matcha scoffed at Milk Tea and said, ¡°Silly kid, why do you think you can depend on cleaning for a living? Because of people like us who dirty the floor and give you a chance to clean. You depend on us for a living. If we do not dirty the floor, no one will employ you to clean the floor.¡±

    ¡°Oh!¡± Surprised, Milk Tea gaped at Matcha and asked, ¡°Is that so? Do you earn money?¡±

    ¡°Of course not.¡± Matcha sneered and said, ¡°We provide freebor and let you earn money.¡±

    Milk Tea nodded although he was confused.

    ¡°Be grateful!¡± Matcha tapped Milk Tea¡¯s head and shouted, ¡°Without us, you wouldn¡¯t have the chance to earn money. Go clean the floor.¡±

    Milk Tea was speechless and he returned to cleaning the floor silently.

    Matcha was agitated as he opened up Wechat on his cell phone and pulled Fish Ball, Elizabeth, Ares, Dust Ball, Old Cat and other supercats into a group chat where he shouted, ¡°I was bullied by the catmint bar¡¯s cats! Who is following me to wreck their shop?¡±

    Fish Ball echoed, ¡°Wreck them!¡±

    The group became deadly quiet... Traditional Jianghai Dust Ball Catmint (Dust Ball) left the group chat.

    Matcha said angrily, ¡°They said the cats from Cat Wondend were a group of shameless cats who cheated money. I was indignant and argued with them but was badly beaten. They said that they would beat each Wondend cat that they see! Are you able to bear this insult?¡±

    I am not Elizabeth (Elizabeth) left the group chat.

    Matcha was so furious he wanted to throw his cell phone away. The supercats at home were neither united nor sensible.

    ¡°Humph, if Zhao Yao hadn¡¯t ignored me, I wouldn¡¯t need such a motley crew.¡± Matcha looked anxiously at the increasing number of cats leaving the group chat and contemted.

    While thinking, heid on the ground and muttered, ¡°It is not easy to think of a solution. Let me y a round of Mobile Legends.¡±

    ...

    In the home of Kujyo in Japan.

    In and outside the huge manor, many servants and security guards were on the floor.

    Hideki Kujyo knelt on the ground and looked at the unconscious Nanako and Sylvie. Then he turned his head to looked at Project X and the four strange supercats who were by his side.

    ¡°Where did the catse from?¡± Hideki Kujyo tried to remember. ¡°I have to protect Nanako from harm.¡±

    Project X, who was sitting above him, said, ¡°Superpower to control sound? Interesting, where are your supercats?¡±

    Hideki Kujyo swallowed his saliva and looked at Project X. ¡°How will you guarantee our safety?¡± He pointed at Nanako and Sylvie and said, ¡°If you send them to a safe ce, I will tell you the location of the supercats.¡±

    Suddenly, numerous ck shadows transformed into giant vipers that circled Hideki Kujyo, ready to strike him.

    As Project X sat down, the ck shadows transformed into a supercat and roared menacingly at Hideki Kujyo.

    Hideki Kujyo was not affected and replied coldly, ¡°If you kill us, you will never know the location of the supercats.¡±

    Project Xughed, extended his hand slightly and threw Hideki Kujyo up in the air.

    Hideki Kujyo struggled hard but was restrained by formless Psychokinesis. He was brought face-to-face, eye-to-eye with Project X.

    ¡°Look at my eyes.¡±

    Hideki Kujyo waspletely hypnotized as his mind rxed and he answered all the questions asked by Project X.

    Momentster, Hideki Kujyo was thrown carelessly on the ground. Project X pped his hands and said, ¡°Coffee, bring a cat with you to the portrait located at the first level stairway. Below the portrait is a secret passage to the basement. Bring the hidden supercat back.¡±

    Coffee nodded and said to Maine Coon, ¡°Maine, follow me.¡±

    Maine Coon roared and said, ¡°Call me by my name, Sang Biao!¡±

    Coffee rolled his eyes as he felt the name was uncouth but seeing his serious face, he said, ¡°Sang... Biao, follow me.¡±

    Project X was pondering Hideki Kujyo¡¯s intelligence. ¡°Momo? Spirit superpower? It is an interesting supercat.¡± He looked at Shadow cat and said, ¡°Shadow, go to Special Higher Police and investigate the whereabouts of Momo. I want her superpower.¡±

    Meanwhile, Sang Biao brought a white cat to Project X.

    The white cat trembled as he looked at the surroundings and wagged his tail when Project X approached. The white cat did not dare to resist.

    Project X stroked his head and smiled. ¡°Good boy.¡±

    Momentster, the white cat ran out of the manor with a nk face and yed with the stray cats that were by the roadside.

    In an underground factory in Southeast Asia.

    Kun Wu awoke in her cat dwelling, screaming in a shrill voice.

    Doll, who was charging her batteries by the cat dwelling, looked concerned at Kun Wu and asked, ¡°How are you Kun Wu? Having nightmares again?¡±

    ¡°He hase.¡± Kun Wu curled into a ball, her fur shedding uncontrobly. She looked like she was balding and her eyes looked hazy from the anxiety.

    ¡°Who hase?¡±

    ¡°He hase.¡± Kun Wu muttered. ¡°He has finallye. No supercats are a match for him. He is a natural winner.¡±

    Doll looked very grave and said, ¡°The cat you have been mentioning hase? Do not be frightened Kun Wu. Our robot army is getting stronger. Even if he is stronger than the Headless Horseman, he is also not our match. Even if we don¡¯t defeat him the first time, with the evolution of our progress, it is a matter of time before we defeat him.¡±

    ¡°Yes, I still have you, Doll.¡± Kun Wu looked at Doll as though she had found a pir of support. ¡°You are myst hope. Only you can defeat him.¡±

    Doll nodded and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡±

    Kun Wu shook her head, hugged Doll¡¯s head and said, ¡°You do not understand. Do not let him win. We definitely cannot let him win. I can feel his thoughts and they want to destroy. Besides destruction, there is nothing. There is... nothing...¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, Matcha was so enraged that he threw the cell phone on the floor and hammered the screen.

    ¡°How could they y like this...¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t they know how to y the archer?¡±

    ¡°They don¡¯t know how to kill monsters!¡±

    ¡°All my teammates are cheaters?!¡±

    ¡°This matching mechanism is not working!¡±

    After ying Mobile Legends, Matcha was even more enraged than before. ¡°No, I cannot let the catmint bar¡¯s cats off. If the cats at home won¡¯t help me, I will seek help from Zhao Yao!¡±

    Momentster, Matcha sprinted to the fourth level of Cat Wondend, an area that was under construction and saw Zhao Yao using the Deflective Field to arrangeyers of bricks on the ground.

    Matcha leaped on Zhao Yao¡¯s body, hugged his thigh, and cried pitifully, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! Your cat was bullied by other cats outside!!¡±

    The cat meow was a heart-rending cry that attracted attention from nearby people.

    Zhao Yao frowned and said, ¡°What is it?¡±

    ¡°Cats outside scolded me, gave me a beating and threatened to castrate me!¡± Matcha cried. ¡°Why are you asking me in such a calm manner? Am I not your cat?!¡± He started sobbing again.

    Zhao Yao scoffed at Matcha and said, ¡°Did you provoke them? Or used my alias to lie and cheat?¡±

    Matcha replied with a face of full of grievances, ¡°Zhao Yao, why don¡¯t you believe your own cat? I didn¡¯t provoke them. It¡¯s them...¡±

    Matcha exined but exaggerated the incident at the catmint bar to Zhao Yao and sobbed. ¡°Zhao Yao! I told them I was protected by the Headless Horseman but they gave me a beating. They are treating you with contempt. If news leaks out, won¡¯t you be aughing stock for everyone?¡±

    Zhao Yao raised his eyebrows and tapped Matcha¡¯s head as he said, ¡°Who let you use my alias?¡±

    Matcha noticed the raising of eyebrows and was secretly happy as it meant Zhao Yao was piqued so he cried louder, ¡°I overheard them talking about Jianghai¡¯s greatest warrior and I mentioned the Headless Horseman.

    I heard them say that Headless Horseman was a timid viin who did not dare to show his face. He was hiding in Jianghai and bullying the cats there. I was indignant and argued with them.¡±

    Matcha rolled his eyeballs, recalled things he had seen in the catmint bar and cried, ¡°They were smuggling catmint from other ces and said that the Headless Horseman was a treacherous dog of the government who supported a despotic policy like catmint prohibition...¡±

    The properlyid bricks exploded and a brick was blown away. Zhao Yao turned his head. His face was grave as he spoke, ¡°Are they really smuggling catmint from other ces?¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes.¡± Matcha shouted. ¡°I tasted it personally. Correction... I saw with my own eyes that they were selling catmint from other ces. They used cheap catmint and put it in Dust Ball Catmint packaging to imitate our original Dust Ball Catmint.¡±

    ¡°How dare they do that!¡± Zhao Yao was furious as he said, ¡°The catmint prohibition was enforced a long time ago and yet there are smugglers selling prohibited catmint? Guards!¡±

    The Dimension Portal opened and more than ten royal cat guards rushed in.

    ¡°Matcha, you will lead the royal cat guards to raid this catmint bar.¡±

    ¡°Meow hahahaha.¡± Matcha swiped his paw andughed wildly. ¡°Brothers, follow me!¡± More than 20 supercats followed Matcha.

    After sending off Matcha and the guards, Zhao Yao pondered for a while, opened the Extradimensional Belly and shouted at Dust Ball, ¡°You will follow Matcha in secret. He is brash and careless. I am worried he will get into more trouble.¡±

    Dust Ball frowned, opened the Dimension Portal reluctantly and followed them. Cannon came up to Dust Ball, rubbed his hands and asked shyly, ¡°Dust Ball, can you lend me some money?¡±

    ¡°No!¡±

    ¡°My luck is extremely good. I will double what I owe you after I win.¡±

    ¡°I am not you anything!¡±

    ¡°I will forgo my catmint bonus. Will you lend me money from my bonus?¡±

    ¡°All your bonuses have been paid. I am not lending you anything.¡±

    Dust Ball was so bothered by Cannon that she forgot to follow Matcha. She turned her head to look for Matcha but he was already gone.

    ¡°He was in such a hurry. Where did he go?¡±

    Matcha brought 20 supercats and barged into the catmint bar. He waved his paw and shouted, ¡°Today, I will wreck this shop. Those who are not involved are to get lost!¡±

    The cats who came to sniff catmint saw the 20 fierce-looking supercats and fled out of fear.

    The catmint bar manager, who was an orange cat, came up, pointed at Matcha and shouted, ¡°What do you mean? You dare to create trouble here? Do you know who is the owner of this shop?¡±

    The other workers of the catmint bar came up and looked furiously at Matcha and his guards.

    ¡°Humph.¡± Matcha scoffed at them, looked at his paws and said slowly, ¡°Beat them.¡±

    A gust of autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves outside while 20 supercats gave the helpless catmint bar employees a good trouncing.

    Matcha stepped on a cat¡¯s face andughed arrogantly. ¡°Aren¡¯t you overbearing? Fancy beating me thest time? I dare you to give me a beating again.¡±

    The orange cat on the ground looked fiercely at Matcha and refused to give in. ¡°D*mn fatso, our boss will not let you go.¡±

    Old Cat smiled merrily as he came up and typed furiously, ¡°Master Matcha, take a look at this.¡±

    A few royal cat guards pushed two boxes and opened them, revealing the cash inside.

    Matcha was shocked and said, ¡°The money was earned illegally in this shop? Is it that profitable to smuggle catmint?¡±

    ¡°Yes, Master Matcha.¡± Old Cat finished typing and ced the cell phone next to Matcha¡¯s ear. The phone said softly, ¡°We also found a box of money behind their counter. I have sent it to your cat dwelling.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Matcha looked astonished at Old Cat and said angrily, ¡°What do you take me for? I hate officials who are corrupt.¡±

    Old Cat thought he had made a mistake when Matcha said, ¡°Send the two boxes of money to my cat dwelling too. I shall ount for all the money. All of you are brash and careless. What if you make a mistake in the ounting?¡±

    ¡°Yes, Master Matcha, we will carry all the boxes to your cat dwelling straight away.¡±

    ¡°Hahahaha!¡± Matcha shouted excitedly. ¡°Continue to search! I want to find all the illegal money earned by this shop.¡±

    The orange cat on the floor cursed in anger. ¡°Filthy thief! You will die a horrible death!¡± He was stomped a few times by Matcha.

    Momentster, a supercat ran out and said excitedly, ¡°My lord, I found a secret room!¡±

    The orange cat on the ground was fearful.

    Matcha said happily, ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. A secret room? I shall confiscate all your filthy money earned from the smuggling!¡±

    The orange cat shouted in a shrill voice, ¡°Stop! Fatso, you are in big trouble!¡±

    Matcha stomped him a few times andughed loudly as he walked to the secret room. He opened his eyes widely at the interior of the room.

    Old Cat swallowed his saliva and typed the words that said, ¡°Master Matcha, quickly inform Zhao Yao. This is something we can¡¯t deal with.¡±

    Matcha nodded and took out his cell phone from his bag. As he was typing, a gigantic human hand appeared behind his back and pinched his head. The owner of the hand said, ¡°Orange cat, are you looking for death?¡±

    A burly man with an unkempt beard and tattooed arms grabbed Matcha¡¯s head and lifted him up.

    Matcha meowed exasperatedly. His paws wed at the hand and scratching sounds were heard but the gigantic hand did not budge.

    Old Cat was agitated and shouted, ¡°Save Sir George immediately!¡±

    The surrounding supercats roared and attacked in unison.

    Sluggish Movement, Metal de, ming Arrow, Frost Beam... Various superpowers hit his body, forming numerous ice cavities and peppering the floor with ice scraps. He was not harmed at all.

    The strong man¡¯s body was created from ice. The newly incurred injuries were filled with freshly formed ice, healing the body.

    Matcha was so scared by the direct attacks that he peed. Although the superpowers were not aimed at Matcha, theynded on the burly man¡¯s body and very close to Matcha.

    Matcha was dripping urine as he screamed piercingly. ¡°Stop! Everyone Stop! Whoever injured me, I will wipe out your entire family!¡±

    Old Cat realized that they had encountered a powerful apostle and his supercats might not be able to defeat him so he shouted, ¡°Stop! Don¡¯t harm Sir George!¡±

    Old Cat extended his paw and stopped all the supercats. He said to the burly man, ¡°Do you know who you have captured? If you harm this noble cat, your whole family will be in trouble!¡±

    Old Cat disregarded Zhao Yao¡¯s prohibition of him not speaking. If Matcha was injured or worse, captured, he would be in hot soup.

    Old Cat spoke out in a bid to brainwash the opponent.

    Hearing Old Cat speak humannguage, the burly man looked surprised and said, ¡°You are able to speak? Interesting.¡±

    ¡°Release Sir George immediately! Your entire family and organization will be in trouble. Do you know who this cat belongs to...¡±

    Hearing Old Cat¡¯s fluent speech, the burly man looked more astonished. ¡°Your superpower is human speech?¡±

    ¡°You wanted to know my superpower? Release the cat and I will tell you. If you release this cat, we will pretend nothing has happened...¡± Rambling... more ramblings... Old Cat rambled with uncouth words as he wanted to reach 500 words so that he could nt a thought in the man¡¯s mind.

    Seeing his pping mouth, the burly man frowned and said, ¡°Why are you so long-winded?¡±

    Old Cat was filled with anxiety. ¡°Am I too impatient? Did he discover something? I only have to speak a bit more before nting the first thought.¡±

    The burly man shook Matcha and said to them, ¡°This seems like an important cat to you. If you want him to live, gather together and surrender.¡±

    Old Cat said, ¡°Do you know that you are holding Headless Horseman¡¯s cat? If you antagonize the Headless Horseman, you will not be able to leave Jianghai.¡±

    ¡°Hahahaha.¡± The burly man gave a forcedugh and said, ¡°Headless Horseman, I am so frightened of you. Gather together with your back facing me. Do it now!¡±

    Seeing the supercats hesitating and the rambling Old Cat, the burly man tightened his grip on the head of Matcha, who screamed in agony. Hemanded, ¡°Do what I say, otherwise I will kill this cat!¡±

    Matcha yelled out of desperation, ¡°Do as he says! Do you want me to die? Gather together!¡± Seeing the supercats hesitating, Matcha said angrily, ¡°Gather!¡±

    The 20 supercats gathered and sprawled on the ground reluctantly, their backs facing the burly man.

    Old Cat said anxiously, ¡°We have followed your instructions. Release the cat.¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t say I would release him.¡± The burly man smiled, raised his other empty hand, whose fingers transformed into icicles and flung them towards the supercats.

    All the cats were knocked unconscious except for Old Cat, who heaved in relief as hepleted speaking 500 words and nted a thought in the burly man.

    The thought could not go against his nature and Matcha had to be safe.

    After much pondering, Old Cat decided to nt this thought...

    ¡°This orange cat is very cute. Don¡¯t harm him.¡± The burly man looked at the unconscious supercats on the floor and carried Matcha in his arms.

    Old Cat assessed the current situation and sighed. During normal times, he would carry the favor of his opponent and slowly manipte him. If there had been no threat to Matcha¡¯s safety, he could have brainwashed the opponent while the 20 supercats engaged in the fighting. It was a pity that he was knocked unconscious in the next instant.

    The burly Iceman turned around and said, ¡°Come in, this is a bumper harvest.¡±

    The apostles strolled in and were pleasantly surprised to see all the supercats on the floor.

    ¡°So many supercats?¡±

    ¡°Hahahaha, we have struck it rich! We have struck it rich!¡±

    ¡°22 supercats altogether. Incorrect, there are 23 supercats including the one that boss is carrying. We are making a fortune!¡±

    The Iceman shook his head and looked at Matcha in his arms. ¡°This cat is very adorable. I am keeping it.¡±

    He walked into the front of the secret room and looked at the goods in the metal cages. He smiled and said, ¡°We have blown our cover. Tell everyone to prepare and leave.¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡±

    In the metal cages were disheveled and dirty-looking men and women who showed faces of hopelessness. There were about ten of them and they possessed apostle potential.

    ¡°In this world, supercats are valuable and apostles are priceless.¡± The Iceman smiled and said, ¡°Whether it is to increase the superpower of supercats or to perform experiments, apostles are essential resources.¡±

    He looked at the caged men and women and smiled. ¡°Once you are out of the country, you will be worth a lot of money.¡±

    The caged humans were kidnapped by Iceman and his men. They were the ¡°goods¡± intended to be sold overseas and the source of Matcha and the supercats¡¯ surprise when they discovered the caged humans.

    Matcha was depressed as heid in the Iceman¡¯s arms. Seeing his cell phone, he struggled to pick it up but Iceman held his body down and said coldly, ¡°You want the cell phone?¡±

    Matcha nodded cutely.

    Iceman smiled and stomped on the cell phone which broke into many pieces. ¡°From now on, you are Speedy¡¯s cat and not rted to anyone. Do you understand?¡±

    Seeing Matcha¡¯s dull face, Speedyughed loudly and said to his subordinates, ¡°Quickly, move quickly. These supercats might belong to the Headless Horseman. Although we are not afraid of him, we do not need to fight him in his territory. Work diligently and leave. Once we sell the supercats and apostles, we will be able to enjoy our fortune.¡±

    Matcha intended to activate Time Freeze to escape, however, he was gripped tightly around the neck so he waited.

    ¡°He is detestable. Before another opportunity arises, I must not divulge my superpower. Once I have the chance, I will use Time Freeze to escape and look for Zhao Yao to give all of you a good beating!¡±

    As Matcha was pondering, Speedy shouted, ¡°Get a shackle!¡±

    Momentster, Matcha touched the shackle on his neck as he looked at Speedy pulling the other end of the shackle and panicked.

    Speedyughed heartily and said, ¡°I know you are not willing but it is of no consequence. From now onwards, we shall sleep and wake up together until you yield.¡±

    ...

    After Iceman and his men had left, Dust Ball maneuvered the Dimension Portal to the catmint bar entrance.

    ¡°Hmm? Is this the ce? Why is it shut?¡± Dust Ball looked at Fish Ball and asked, ¡°Are you sure this is the ce?¡±

    Fish Ball licked his paws, looked outside the Dimension Portal, and said, ¡°Yes, we were bullied by the cats in this shop.¡±

    Both Fish Ball and Matcha were trapped in the catmint bar. Fish Ball had shed his blinding light and Matcha had used Time Freeze to escape together.

    Dust Ball was following Matcha until she was distracted by Cannon. She was unable to find Matcha so she went to look for Fish Ball to find the catmint bar.

    Dust Ball looked at the bolted main door, pondered, and finally shouted, ¡°Who is going to help me open this door?¡±

    Boom!

    Dust Ball said, ¡°Thank you F¨±jin.¡±

    F¨±jin blew the dust off his paws and said, ¡°We are family. Do not mention it.¡±

    Dust Ball went into the catmint bar and discovered the shop in disarray. All items had been carried off or thrown carelessly on the ground. It looked like they left in a hurry.

    Fish Ball stood beside Dust Ball and shouted, ¡°This is the ce! We were trapped here before. Where are all the cats?¡±

    Dust Ball had an ominous premonition and she told Fish Ball, ¡°Call Matcha.¡±

    Fish Ball made the phone call and shook his head, saying, ¡°His phone is off.¡±

    Dust Ball said, ¡°Call Old Cat or some other supercat. I don¡¯t believe that they all turned off their phones.¡±

    Fish Ball shook his head and said in shock, ¡°All phones are off.¡±

    Dust Ball jumped up and said, ¡°Quick! Inform Zhao Yao! Matcha is missing!¡±

    Momentster, the entire Extradimensional Belly and all of Cat Ind were in a frenzy.

    Elizabeth said astonished, ¡°Matcha is missing? Perhaps he had too much fun and forgot toe home?¡±

    ¡°He is really missing?¡±

    ¡°Inform Zhao Yao immediately!¡±

    In Cat Wondend, Zhao Yao gazed gloomily at the floor and said calmly, ¡°How long ago was that? In Jianghai, not many people dare to touch my cats.¡±

    He looked at Dust Ball and Sphynx cat and said, ¡°Sphynx cat, you will track Matcha¡¯s location. Dust Ball, follow Sphynx cat. Once Matcha is found, don¡¯t be rash. Set up the Dimension Portal for me toe over.¡±

    Sphynx cat said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I will find him.¡±

    Elizabeth said, ¡°Sphynx cat, you have to find him.¡±

    ¡°Matcha¡¯s trash. Fancy him being captured.¡± Roly Poly frowned and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t I follow Sphynx cat? I can make myself invisible and won¡¯t be easily discovered. I may even have the chance to rescue Matcha.¡±

    ¡°I will follow as well.¡± Ares said, ¡°Once I see Matcha, I can protect him with the Deflective Field.¡±

    Seeing the supercats volunteering, Zhao Yao shook his head and said, ¡°Enough, don¡¯t volunteer anymore. Let Sphynx cat and Dust Ball find Matcha. More cats may slow things down.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Sphynx cat and said, ¡°Since he defeated Matcha and more than 20 supercats, he is not a novice apostle. Once you discover them, do not engage. Wait for my arrival.¡±

    Seeing Sphynx cat leave, Zhao Yao heaved in relief. Whether the enemy was selling or using the supercats for their own use, they would not harm them during this period of time. Instead, they would be well fed so safety was not a concern.

    With Sphynx cat¡¯s acute five senses, as long as they left a trace, he would be able to track them. His only concern was that the enemy had special superpowers and had used vehicles to hide their trail. He could not afford to put all his eggs in a single basket.

    It was too risky so Zhao Yao took out his cell phone and gave Uncle Ho a call.

    ¡°Sorry to trouble you, Uncle Ho.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, none of the orange cats will leave Jianghai tonight.¡±

    ¡°Great, that¡¯s all for now.¡±

    Zhao Yao hung up the phone, pondered and looked at Fish Ball. ¡°Do you know the boss of that Cat Street?¡±

    Fish Ball nodded and Zhao Yao looked at Bai Quan, who was by his side, and said, ¡°Bai Quan, follow Fish Ball to that Cat Street and bring back the boss. I want to investigate that catmint bar.¡±

    Bai Quan said, ¡°Okay,¡± and left with Fish Ball.

    The office door was opened and Milk Tea walked in confused as he said, ¡°Yikes! Why are there so many cats?¡±

    Milk Tea was not aware that Matcha was missing. Zhao Yao informed other cats telepathically, ¡°Don¡¯t let Milk Tea know about Matcha.¡±

    Yellow Mud walked in from behind Milk Tea and said, ¡°Boss, I have finished our chores for today.¡±

    Milk Tea leaped and bounded as he ran forward and grabbed Zhao Yao¡¯s shoe. ¡°Master Zhao, let me tell you, we cleaned a lot of ces today.¡±

    Zhao Yao cuddled Milk Tea¡¯s head and said, ¡°Hmm, Milk Tea you¡¯re very obedient.¡±

    After sending Zhao Yao had sent Milk Tea away, half an hourter Bai Quan dragged two cats and a man in. He told Zhao Yao, ¡°Boss, they are the leaders of that Cat Street.¡±

    Zhao Yao sat on the sofa and sized them up before speaking, ¡°Has Bai Quan has told you about the situation? What is the background of the catmint bar? Are you able to contact them?¡±

    The man lifted his head and revealed a hideous smile. ¡°Big brother, supercats don¡¯t have identity cards. We skimmed through the details of the owners before letting them set up shop. How do you expect us to find them?¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Zhao Yao lifted his head to gaze at the man before putting a fruit knife into his pocket.

    The man felt his face being sliced by the knife. Shocked, he said, ¡°They... they left a contact number. Let me try giving them a call.¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, in a truck, Iceman carried Matcha and sat beside the driver. The cargo area was filled with cages containing supercats and apostles with electric shock cors around their necks. Iceman¡¯s subordinates kept watch over the prisoners.

    As they were driving along the highway, check points were set up at the exit and entrance points. Numerous vehicles were stopped for checking.

    Iceman frowned and asked, ¡°What happened?¡±

    The driver said, ¡°I don¡¯t know, I haven¡¯t encountered checkpoints at this ce before. Perhaps the police is checking for drunk driving and overloaded vehicles.¡±

    Tokyo, Japan. In a Japanese Special Higher Police cell.

    Momo was lying on the floor and her chin was ced on a bowl. She was eating beans as she watched the show ying on the TV: Cat chasing the Mouse.

    She watched andined, ¡°I thought that this show would be rxing. Who knew that it would be so tragic? Can I change the show?¡±

    As she was ranting, she stuck out her tongue and shoved a few more beans into her mouth.

    Then, there was an explosion sound and the sound of steel columns and cement cracking.

    Momo was bewildered. ¡°What is going on? Another earthquake? Then shouldn¡¯t they let us out?¡±

    An old cat who was in the cell opposite hers said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t sound right. It seems to being from above.¡±

    Momoughed and said, ¡°Is there someone trying to break into the prison? The person should tear the whole ce down. I may go crazy if I stay here.¡±

    The cracking sound grew nearer and nearer, when Momo thought that the crack was going to spread to the wall in front of her, the sound disappeared. Everything fell silent.

    ¡°What is going on?¡± Momo put up a strong front but her body was trembling uncontrobly. It was like an ant experiencing an earthquake. The fear she was experiencing overwhelmed her.

    The cat in the opposite cell was trembling too. He quivered and asked, ¡°Is it really a big earthquake?¡±

    Then, they heard a creak above their heads. It sounded like someone was twisting ten million steel columns at the same time. It made Momo¡¯s scalp go numb as she stared upwards.

    Her eyes widened when she saw that the ceiling above her was crumbling inch by inch. The top part of the jail cell was torn open.

    Under a cloud of gun fire, a blue furred cat appeared. One of his paws was pointing at the sky as he stood on two hind legs. He stood on a fiery cloud as he descended slowly in front of Momo.

    Project X looked Momo, who was stunned, andughed, ¡°You are Momo?¡±

    When Project X spoke, hundreds of missiles soared into the sky. All he did was turn his head and look at them. Then, the hundreds of missiles came to a halt and flew back.

    During the series of explosions, Project X descended andnded in front of Momo. He put down his paw and put down the ceiling which he had torn off.

    Momo swallowed her saliva and asked, ¡°I am Momo. Who are you?¡±

    ¡°You can call me Project X.¡± Project X reached out his paw and lifted Momo¡¯s chin. He rubbed her chin and asked, ¡°Are you willing to go with me?¡±

    Momo was taken aback for a moment and thought, ¡°He is interested in me?¡± She hesitated and asked, ¡°Where? What is your job? Are your parents supercats?¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Project X froze. He had approached many supercats but this was the first time he was asked such silly questions.

    ¡°Is she mentally disabled?¡±

    He knocked Momo unconscious and carried her on his shoulders. He tapped the ground and the floor below him split open, forming a bottomless underground passage.

    Project X turned around and saw the dumbfounded supercats in the other cells. He said, ¡°If you guys want toe, follow me.¡±

    Then, all the cell doors opened and the chains on the supercats shattered.

    All the cats watched Project X go into the passage and they jumped in after him.

    In Jianghai, at a highway exit. The cars were queuing for a road inspection.

    Speedy watched from a distance and said, ¡°Turn back. Let¡¯s change ces.¡±

    The driver answered, ¡°Boss, I can¡¯t turn back here. It is just a road inspection. We only have humans and cats here. If they don¡¯t say anything, the police can¡¯t find anything.¡±

    Speedy turned around and looked back at the humans and cats in the trunk. The cats didn¡¯t matter. As for the humans, they had sumbed to the beatings. If it was normal traffic police, they could not save the humans either. Neither would they report it.

    Furthermore, they had powers to hide their trace.

    However, Speedy was still feeling a bit uneasy.

    Then, his phone rang and Speedy looked at it. It was from the person in charge of Cat Street, where the Catmint bar had been.

    Speedy did not pick up the phone. Since he had decided to escape with the cats, he did not intend to return or contact this person anymore. He hung up, crushed the phone and threw it out of the window.

    Speedy told his men at the back, ¡°Triangle, when we are going through the inspection, use your powers to cover them up.¡±

    A young apostle answered, ¡°Okay.¡±

    Hence, the few apostles, who were being trafficked by Speedy, had a triangle drawn on them. The cat cages were also covered in white cloth and a triangle was drawn. Even Matcha, who was in Speedy¡¯sp, was stuffed into the cage.

    When the traffic police would check the truck, they would not notice everything that was marked with the triangle. Even if they saw it, they would subconsciously ignore it.

    However, Triangle¡¯s powers could onlyst for half an hour so they could only be used when in need.

    They passed through the inspection and the truck left Jianghai. It drove on the highway for six hours and came to a small city near the sea.

    They drove until midnight and the truck finally stopped in front of a mini mart. Speedy got out of the truck and looked at the surroundings. After ensuring that everything was fine, he waved and asked his men to unload the supercats and apostles.

    Speedy knocked against the mini mart¡¯s door and waited for quite a while before a voice asked, ¡°Who is it! I need to sleep.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± Speedy answered coldly. ¡°I have goods.¡±

    The door opened and a greasy middle aged man stuck his neck out, he nodded and said, ¡°Come in.¡±

    Old Cat looked at the direction of the mini mart and left a few drops of urine through the cage onto the floor.

    They followed the obese guy into the stairway and came to the basement. There was an extensivework of underground tunnels.

    Matcha looked at the situation in front of him and was worried. ¡°Why hasn¡¯t Zhao Yao found me yet? I am about to be sold overseas!¡±

    At first, Matcha was still calm and confident that Zhao Yao would rescue him. Now, he was flustered.

    As time passed and there were still no one following them, Matcha became more and more anxious.

    ¡°What if they don¡¯t want to save me anymore?¡±

    His mind imagined the scene of Zhao Yao finding out that he was lost.

    Zhao Yaoughed loudly. ¡°Matcha went missing? That¡¯s great! Now, we have one less cat that spends so much. I don¡¯t have to give him money anymore.

    Roly Poly heard the news and was rolling around happily. ¡°Meoww! That cat is finally gone. I have no opponents in Cat Nation anymore! I will inherit all of Cat Nation!¡±

    Elizabeth pointed at the banner on the wall. ¡°It is crooked. Move it to the left a bit more.¡± Ares controlled the banner and moved it to the side.

    On the banner was written: ¡°Matcha¡¯s Farewell Party!¡±

    Under banner was a ck and white photo of Matcha. It was covered by a pile of dog shit.

    Dust Ball was sprinkling catmint around and shouting, ¡°I have endured that idiot for too long. Every time he would take the catmint without paying! Finally he is gone!¡±

    Fish Ball sucked a mouthful of catmint and sighed, ¡°What a pity, Matcha was from a family of Cat Gods. He just left like that.¡± Then, he startedughing and threw a pile of shit onto the ck and white photo. ¡°I never have to bring this noob to y Mobile Legends anymore!¡±

    ...

    ¡°Damn it!¡± Matcha was getting more and more angry. He wed at Speedy¡¯s hand continuously and rubbed against his body. ¡°Have I really been a terrible cat?¡±

    ¡°Ahh! I should have done my work properly. I shouldn¡¯t have bullied the cats at home. I shouldn¡¯t have yed so much Mobile Legends and should have studied instead.¡±

    ¡°Those guys must be so happy now. When I go back, they¡¯ll see how I will deal with them.¡±

    ¡°No! God, if you give me a chance to return home, I will definitely turn over a new leaf! I will be a good cat!¡±

    At the same time, Speedy had reached a basement. It contained a bunch of cages with supercats and apostles in them.

    Speedy looked at Matcha, who was wing him until ice shavings fell off. Heughed and shook his head. He patted Matcha¡¯s head and ordered his men. ¡°Lock the supercats up separately. Check the shock cor and fill it with a tranquilizer.¡±

    The obese guy saw that Speedy had brought so many supercats and apostles. His eyes lit up. ¡°Brother Speedy, you have caught so many of them? You are going to earn a hefty amount.¡±

    Speedy smiled confidently. ¡°I was lucky this time. Is Boss not around?¡±

    ¡°I have informed Boss. He should be on his way,¡± The obese guy replied.

    Then, a foreigner came in through door and looked at the supercats and apostles in the room.

    The obese guy smiled and said, ¡°Boss, you are here? These are the supercats that Speedy just caught. It is a great harvest this time.¡±

    The foreigner looked delighted and nodded at Speedy. ¡°Speedy, you have done well.¡±

    Speedy nodded in response. This foreigner was called Richard. He was the boss there. He was the person who collected these apostles and supercats from them.

    Although the cats and apostles were being sold overseas, Speedy did not have any contacts overseas and could not go overseas himself. Hence, he would sell all the cats and apostles he caught to this foreigner. Speedy heard that this foreigner had a saleswork overseas. He would sell the cats and apostles to other foreigners overseas.

    As Richard paid them quickly and had a strong background, most of the ¡®goods¡¯ they caught, they would sell it to him.

    Speedy guessed that Richard was a foreign influence¡¯s spokesperson who interested in buying supercats in China.

    However, all of this was none of his business. He only cared about the money.

    Then, a dozen of apostles and two supercats walked in. They were about to check the powers of the supercats to estimate their value. They had apostles who could read minds responsible for checking the supercat¡¯s powers.

    Speedy stood by the side patiently as the supercats were pulled out of their cages for checking and interrogation. He would always watch the supercat¡¯s powers be evaluated as this concerned his pay.

    Richard looked at Matcha, who was in Richard¡¯s arms, and asked curiously. ¡°Are you not selling this cat?¡±

    ¡°Nope, I have decided to rear him.¡±

    ¡°Oh? The cat is very powerful?¡±

    Speedy shook his head and stroked Matcha¡¯s head. ¡°I don¡¯t know what power he has but I like him. So, I want to rear him for fun.¡±

    Soon, Richard¡¯s men shouted in surprise. He pointed at Old Cat. ¡°Boss, this is good.¡±

    Richard walked up and looked satisfied when his men reported to him.

    Speedy walked up and asked, ¡°What is it?¡±

    Richard smiled to him. ¡°Speedy, this is a rare and precious supercat. It has the potential to be a natural disaster.

    ¡°Natural disaster?¡± Speedy was familiar with the new name that had be popr internationally. It meant a cat or apostle who had the power to fight an entire army.

    Upon hearing this, Speedy and his men were all excited. Such supercats were rare and could be sold for up to hundreds or thousands of million.

    Old Cat was anxious when his powers were exposed and couldn¡¯t help but look at Matcha. He tried hard to control himself to not think of Matcha¡¯s powers and not think of anything rted to Matcha.

    Fortunately, Old Cat managed to do it as he was counting in his head.

    Matcha panicked when he saw Old Cat look at him.

    ¡°Shit, they have mind reading powers.¡±

    ¡°What if my Time Freeze is being read.¡±

    The more Matcha tried not to think of it, the more Matcha couldn¡¯t resist thinking of it. After a few minutes, Richard¡¯s men looked at Matcha in bewilderment and whispered to Richard.

    Richard was calm at first but after that he started breathing heavily. He looked at Matcha with great desire.

    This time, he did not ask Speedy if he was selling. He signaled his men.

    Time freeze was such a rare power. If it was real, Richard did not n on paying. He nned to snatch Matcha and sell him. He would not have to worry for the rest of his life.

    He did not n to talk to Speedy. He wanted to send a team to ambush Speedy when they were the most rxed and snatch the orange cat.

    ...

    Meanwhile, not long after Speedy entered the supermarket, Sphynx cat was sniffing around and was near the supermarket.

    Dust Ball who was lying on Sphynx cat¡¯s back vomited and ranted, ¡°You are too unstable!¡±

    Sphynx cat was sniffing and replied calmly. ¡°It is hard to track a car. If I hadn¡¯t moved this fast, I wouldn¡¯t have caught up.¡±

    He followed the scent to the door of the supermarket and his eyes lit up. ¡°It is here. I can pick up Matcha and Old Cat¡¯s scent.¡± He circled around and said, ¡°Yeah, this is Old Cat¡¯s urine. He peed here. Aye, the smell... his kidney is not very good.¡±

    ¡°Finally.¡± Dust Ball heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Let me open the Dimension Portal. Let¡¯s report to Zhao Yao quickly.¡±

    In an apartment in Tokyo, thendlord was on the floor, unconscious.

    Kun Wu opened her eyes and she saw a sofa in the living room, a paw pressing on the TV remote control and the news on the TV.

    ¡°In the Shinjuku area... the gang fight incident...¡±

    ¡°... gas explosion... the current number of casualties...¡±

    An unfamiliar voice spoke. ¡°They hid our presence from the public? Although this is easier for me to execute my ns, this means I cannot try out my terror powers.¡±

    She looked down and saw a blood red ball of light gathered on top of a furry paw. It was the Divine Rays of Terror.

    Momo walked out from behind him and stared at the Divine Rays of Terror curiously. Momo felt that the supercat was so mysterious, so charming.

    The unfamiliar voice asked, ¡°Momo, what other interesting cats are there in Japan?¡±

    Momo thought about it with her eyes wide open and said, ¡°I heard that there is a cat in Kyoto that can change colors. There is also a cat who can poop out cat food. Oh ya, I heard that in Hokkaido, there is a cat who could manipte poop...¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay.¡± The voice stopped Momo from continuing.

    However, Momo was still chattering, ¡°And then, I used to know a cat. His powers were virgin powers, they could...¡±

    When Momo wouldn¡¯t stop talking, the voice shouted, ¡°Shut up.¡±

    Momo¡¯s mouth was closed and her voice disappeared.

    Then, Kun Wu heard the voice think to himself. ¡°This batch of supercat¡¯s intelligence is... aye...¡±

    Then, his eyes turned to Coffee and he said, ¡°Let¡¯s get ready to leave Japan. Have you collected information on the Chinese supercats?¡±

    Coffee nodded and passed the phone over to him. ¡°This is the intel I have gathered on the supercats with potential. Take a look...¡±

    Looking at the information, the voiceughed. ¡°Interesting. Maybe the evil presence that I felt is in China.¡±

    Then Project X looked at the mirror and smiled. ¡°Why don¡¯t youe too?¡±

    ...

    Kun Wu jerked open her eyes and started panting.

    Doll asked with concern, ¡°What is it?¡±

    Kun Wu shook her head in disbelief. ¡°He noticed me?¡±

    ¡°How could it be?¡±

    Kun Wu was troubled. ¡°I don¡¯t know. He asked me to go to China with him. He is going to China to capture the supercats.¡±

    ¡°China?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s face appeared in Doll¡¯s mind.

    Kun Wu said, ¡°Yeah. We cannot let him continue to grow. China has many powerful supercats. We should stop him before he gets a hold of these cats.¡±

    Doll nodded and answered, ¡°Okay, I will send the robot troops to China now. We can control them from far so that we won¡¯t be in danger.¡±

    Kun Wu said, ¡°Maybe we can join the Headless Horseman. He is powerful...¡±

    ¡°No!¡± Doll shouted in exasperation and stared at Kun Wu. ¡°We are not contacting him...¡±

    Kun Wu was bewildered. ¡°Why? The Headless Horseman is pretty useful...¡±

    ¡°No.¡± When Doll recalled the Zhao Yao¡¯s shamelessness, he felt his voltage rising. He looked at Kun Wu and questioned her. ¡°Did you forget how did that pervert treated you in OX city? I am never going to work with him!¡±

    Kun Wu said, ¡°He just thought I was cute and couldn¡¯t help but stroke me. What is the big fuss?¡±

    Doll looked at Kun Wu in disbelief, ran up to her, and grabbed her head. He questioned her. ¡°Stroke you?¡± Before he finished, he was pushed away by Kun Wu.

    Doll looked at Kun Wu with sorrow. ¡°All I did was to touch your head and you reacted this way. He touched your tummy!!¡±

    ¡°Why are youparing yourself to him...¡± When Kun Wu saw that there were sparks emerging from his body, she continued. ¡°Don¡¯t be so angry. Look your voltage is raising again. Hurry, release some charges.¡±

    ¡°I am not angry!¡± Doll yelled. ¡°How is he better than me? I...¡± Halfway through his sentence, he froze.

    ¡°Look at you, you are so angry that you have to reboot. Yet you still say that you aren¡¯t angry.¡± Kun Wu rolled her eyes and waited for a few seconds. She realized that he was still frozen there. She said impatiently. ¡°Why is it taking so long? Are you infected with a virus?¡±

    She waited for another couple of seconds and sighed when she realized he was still rebooting. She turned into a me and disappeared into the air.

    After a while, when Doll¡¯s eyes lit up again. He saw the empty space in front of him and was disappointed.

    ¡°Ahh!¡± Hey on the floor and shouted, ¡°Headless Horseman!¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao raised his head and saw Dust Ball opening the Dimension Portal. He nodded satisfyingly and said, ¡°You found them? Let me take a look.¡±

    He crossed the Dimension Portal and went into the Dimension Bag. He looked at the supermarket and rubbed his chin. ¡°You guys haven¡¯t been inside right?¡±

    Dust Ball said, ¡°The moment we found the ce, we came to report back to you. Just in case.¡±

    Zhao Yao was satisfied and stroked Dust Ball¡¯s head. ¡°Very good. Matcha is in their hands. There are so many different powers. We cannot take any risks. Let¡¯s go find out more about them first.¡±

    Toxins, seals, brainwashing, and dimensional powers could all be used by his opponents and Matcha was in their hands. Zhao Yao was not going to take any risks. He wanted to learn more their abilities before taking action.

    There are times to be headstrong and times to stay low. Zhao Yao was experienced. He knew the difference clearly.

    After some consideration, Zhao Yao called Cat Sage, Roly Poly, Dust Ball, and Elizabeth.

    Cat Sage¡¯s transformation, Roly Poly¡¯s invisibility, Dust Ball¡¯s Dimension Portal and Elizabeth¡¯s illusion were all powers that were perfect for surveince and collecting intel. If they cooperated with each other, they would be more powerful and almost invincible.

    Under the effort of the four cats, the entire supermarket was searched.

    In Extradimensional Belly, Zhao Yao was sitting on a chair and in front him was a model of the supermarket. Small figures appeared in the models.

    Zhao Yao nodded and said, ¡°Dust Ball, what is the situation like inside?!¡±

    Dust Ball raised her paws and she shouted, ¡°Report! The entire supermarket has 48 people in total. On the surface, it is an ordinary supermarket with two guards. However, it is all a cover up. The space underground is the real deal. There are three exits, 19 rooms... Matcha is here...¡±

    The scene shown in the model kept changing until a fat cat was shown. Zhao Yao was appeased.

    He looked towards the Dimension Portal and the Dimension Portal was behind Matcha. He could see clearly that Matcha was in Speedy¡¯s arms. Both were sound asleep on the bed.

    ¡°He is kidnapped and he still can fall asleep?¡± Zhao Yao frowned. ¡°Is he pretending to be asleep? For the guy to let his guard down?¡±

    Zhao Yao turned around and looked at Cat Sage and Roly Poly. ¡°Have you guys figured out what their powers are?¡±

    Roly Poly stood up and reported to Zhao Yao. ¡°I havemunicated with Cat Sage. ording to what he saw, those guys have powers like ice body, mind reading and ability to neglect... These are the powers they showcased. After all, not all of them showcased their powers.

    Except for electric shock cors and tranquilizers, they don¡¯t have other special powers neither did they poison the cats.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Zhao Yao nodded. ¡°Have you tried to talk to Matcha?¡±

    Roly Poly pursed his lips and said, ¡°I tried to chat with him privately but I can¡¯t wake him up.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head in exasperation. ¡°This fellow.¡±

    Then, the rm went off. Fish Ball was shining red.

    ¡°He is here?!¡± Zhao Yao shouted immediately. ¡°Elizabeth! Hurry!¡±

    ¡°I know!¡± Elizabeth nodded and activated her illusion. All the Dimension Portal and models disappeared.

    All the surrounding cats scattered and acted like the meeting never happened.

    Right after everything was covered up, Milk Tea skipped into the Dimension Portal and ran towards Zhao Yao. He was running and shouting, ¡°Master Zhao! Have you seen Brother Matcha? I can¡¯t find him anywhere.¡±

    Zhao Yao came up with an excuse. ¡°He went to somewhere far away...¡±

    Milk Tea¡¯s eye turned misty. ¡°Brother Matcha is dead?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Zhao Yao sighed, ¡°He went on a business trip. He would be back tomorrow.¡±

    After Milk Tea left, Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief and said, ¡°Let¡¯s continue.¡±

    Instantly, all the supercats gathered again. Everything went back to how it was a few minutes ago.

    Zhao Yao pinched his chin and said, ¡°Check Matcha¡¯s current situation. If there is no problem, I will activate Time Freeze and save him. Then, we can deal with these crooks however we like.¡±

    Roly Poly shrugged at the direction of the Dimension Portal and said, ¡°Matcha can¡¯t be woken up.¡±

    Then he saw that on the other side of the Dimension Portal, F¨±jin, Rakshasa, Airne and other cats were shouting at Matcha telepathically. However, Matcha just turned over and continued to sleep soundly.

    ¡°Stupid cat.¡± Zhao Yao went over personally and shouted in Matcha¡¯s consciousness. ¡°Matcha, until when do you want to sleep? Can you wake up?¡±

    Suddenly, Matcha sat up straight and stared at his surroundings.

    ¡°Why do I hear Zhao Yao¡¯s voice? Is it because I miss him too much so I am starting to have illusions?¡± Matcha sighed. ¡°I am indeed a faithful cat.¡± Thinking of this, he started licking his fur.

    ¡°Idiot, look here!¡±

    Matcha looked towards the direction of the sound and saw Zhao Yao and rest behind the Dimension Portal.

    The orange cat was excited and ran towards the portal immediately. As he ran, he meowed, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! You have finallye to rescue me!¡±

    However, he ran about two meters and was pulled back by the metal chain and fell to the ground.

    ¡°Big Yellow, keep quiet and go to sleep.¡±

    Speedy woke up and nced at Matcha. He grabbed Matcha back in his arms and continued to sleep. He was not given the authorization to use the Dimension Portal so he could only see Matcha and not the Dimension Portal.

    Matcha was in Speedy¡¯s arms and he looked at Zhao Yao with great grief. ¡°Zhao Yao! Hurry save me!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s face fell when he saw this. ¡°Snatching my cat?¡±

    He suppressed his anger and asked in detail, ¡°Okay, are you poisoned or are there any powers casted on you? Did they do anything to you?¡± After a series of questions, he confirmed that Matcha was fine and wasn¡¯t going to explode when he was rescued. Then, he activated the Time Freeze and brought along the Rice Cake-Vibrating Sword.

    He walked in front of Matcha and sliced the chain in two. He brought Matcha back into the Extradimensional Belly.

    Once back inside the Extradimensional Belly, Matcha hugged Zhao Yao and started wailing.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao! I thought you didn¡¯t want me anymore!¡±

    Zhao Yao stroke Matcha¡¯s head and smiled. ¡°This is not just my doing. Everyone yed a part.¡±

    ¡°Everyone...¡± Matcha turned and saw the supercats around him. He was touched.

    Roly Poly, Elizabeth, Ares, Dust Ball, Sphynx cat, Fish Ball, and the others all gathered.

    Looking at Matcha¡¯s state, Roly Poly sneered, ¡°Useless. You still have to rely on us to rescue you.¡±

    Elizabeth licked her paws and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. As long as you are back. Don¡¯t be so stupid and let others kidnap you again.¡±

    Dust Ball said, ¡°Matcha, can you clear your debts? I am worried that you will lose your way again. Then, who am I going to get the money from?¡±

    Cannon came up and said, ¡°Matcha, I bet that you will be captured again. You want to bet?¡±

    Matcha turned his face and looked at Zhao Yao revengefully. ¡°Zhao Yao! You have to take revenge for me!¡± After he spoke, there was a golden exmation mark on top of his head.

    Mission: Stand up for them!

    Mission Objective: Stand up for the cats and take revenge on the criminals. Trample them emotionally and physically.

    Reward: Based on Matcha¡¯s satisfaction. The lowest experience points 100, highest is 2000.

    Punishment: None.

    ¡°Hahahaha.¡± To Matcha¡¯s delight, Zhao Yao nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s what I intended to do.¡± He thought about it. ¡°But, if it is based on the satisfaction of Matcha...¡±

    A few minutester, Speedy felt a cool breeze blow against his face and he opened his eyes. He saw an orange cat¡¯s back.

    ¡°Big Yellow, what are you doing? Your chain...¡± Speedy saw that the chain had been ripped apart and was astonished.

    He saw Matcha turn around and his orange fur became golden. Matcha was flying towards the sky and he was surrounded by golden mes. mes fanned out from his body and turned into a breeze that blew in all directions.

    He looked towards Speedy and raised his paws. A deep male voice spoke. ¡°Human, the cat I am now is not what I was before. It is time for you to experience it...¡±

    Zhao Yao, who was standing in the Dimension Portal, asked Matcha. ¡°Are you sure you want to talk like this?¡±

    Matcha turned and looked at Zhao Yao with his eyes wide open with desire. Zhao Yao sighed.

    Then, Speedy heard the voice pause for a moment before continuing, ¡°Now, you shall experience how scary a Jianghai Scottish Fold is after awakening.¡±

    Speedy was stunned. ¡°Big yellow, you can speak?¡±

    Don¡¯t call me Big Yellow!!¡±

    Then, Speedy felt the golden light flicker and Matcha appeared in front of him. Matcha pressed his paw on Speedy¡¯s forehead and a force as strong as the mountains and sea pressed down on Speedy. It pressed Speedy into the ground and his body shattered into small ice chips.

    Speedy felt that he was thrown into the depths of the Earth. There was a violent force crushing him that immobilized him. If his body hadn¡¯t turned into ice, he would have died.

    Then, Matcha zoomed across the sky. One of his paws grabbed Speedy¡¯s head while the other paw pped Speedy incessantly.

    Bam! Bam! Bam!

    With every p, Speedy¡¯s head would twist, shatter and spray ice chips all over.

    Speedy raged and his arms turned into two ice spears. He stabbed Matcha fiercely, only to see Matcha tense his muscles and the ice spear shatter.

    ¡°What?!¡±

    To his astonishment, two red lights shot out of the orange cat¡¯s eyes and hit Speedy. In a few seconds, they evaporated all the ice below Speedy¡¯s head.

    Speedy was horrified. Although he would not die because of his powers, the thought of only having a head was too terrifying. He desperately tried to grow out his body but every bit of ice that was regenerated was evaporated by Matcha.

    Soon Speedy gave up. He looked at Matcha in terror. ¡°What do you want?¡±

    Matchaughed loudly. ¡°Scream! Cry! Then go and die!¡± Then, he kicked Speedy¡¯s head like a ser ball.

    ¡°No!¡± Speedy¡¯s head shot out, knocking down the walls. He shouted, ¡°It¡¯s going to be the toilet!¡±

    Then, a loud bang was heard and Matcha watched Speedy¡¯s head knock down the walls and satisfyingly fall underground.

    Ares, who was controlling the Deflective Field for the various powers, frowned. ¡°Matcha looks full of himself.¡±

    ¡°It is more than self-satisfaction.¡± Elizabeth, who was using her illusion for the special effects, added. ¡°I think he may explode anytime.¡±

    Then, Matcha looked over to them grinning. He told Elizabeth and Ares, ¡°Elizabeth and Ares, you guys have worked hard. I will treat you to a meal when we go back.¡±

    The two cats looked at Matcha in astonishment and telmunicated privately.

    ¡°This is Matcha?¡±

    ¡°Is this a fake?¡±

    ¡°This is so scary. Listen to how he speaks. I feel like my fur is standing.¡±

    Meanwhile Matcha looked towards the cats behind the Dimension Portal and raised his paws. ¡°All of you have worked hard. I will treat all of you to a meal. I hope all of you wille.¡± The cats were so shocked that they started shedding.

    Roly Poly looked at Matcha in shock. ¡°This stupid cat knows how to improve rtionships now?¡±

    ¡°Although this kidnapping was pretty ufortable, it was not unfruitful,¡± Matcha thought to himself. ¡°Last time, I only wanted to make Zhao Yao happy. Now, I¡¯ve realized that it is important to maintain a good rtionship with the other supercats too. Without them, Zhao Yao would never have found me.

    I, Matcha, have evolved again! I am getting closer to the Cat King¡¯s position!¡±

    Then, Matcha waved his paws and shouted in his heart, ¡°Catch up!¡±

    Ares controlled the Deflective Field and flew Matcha over.

    Zhao Yao was at the back, looking at the mission panel. ¡°Satisfaction level 30%? This guy... he is pretty vengeful.¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, Richard was looking at his men who he had gathered in his room.

    The dozen of apostles in front of him were his strongest and most loyal apostles. He not only knew their detailed background story, but he also had their families under surveince. Among them, two were his brothers.

    All of them had borrowed the strongest powers he owned.

    Even so, he only told them that they were going to snatch Speedy¡¯s orange cat and nothing about the cat¡¯s powers, Time Freeze.

    The temptations were too strong. He did not want to test his men.

    Richard was giving orders on when and how to attack, when something exploded. The wall beside them was ripped apart and a shadow glided through them. It knocked into one of the apostles and mmed the apostle into the next wall then into the toilet.

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°Is there an enemy?¡±

    Amidst the shouting, Matcha slowly flew out of the hole.

    Looking at Matcha, Richard was shocked. The next moment, a strong sense of desire shed past his eyes. ¡°It¡¯s him!¡± He pulled out his gun, pointed at Matcha and shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡±

    When Matcha saw that he pulled out his gun, he was overjoyed. ¡°It is time for me to act cool again!¡±

    Matcha waved his paw and Richard¡¯s gun flew over to him.

    ¡°Pistol?¡± Matcha stretched out his paw and touched the gun. ¡°Of all the powers, speed is the strongest.¡±

    A gunshot was heard then suddenly Matcha¡¯s paw had wrapped the Deflective Field around the bullet. To everyone¡¯s astonishment, he said slowly, ¡°No matter how fast your gun is, can it be faster than my powers?¡±

    Edward screamed, ¡°Stop!¡± He was raging in his mind. ¡°Time Freeze, it must be the Time Freeze! He must have used the Time Freeze to catch the bullet! But how could he catch a bullet the moment it was fired? His Time Freeze is stronger than I expected! Is it a passive effect? Or does it increase the reaction time?¡±

    No matter what, after Matcha caught the bullet, Edward had a greater desire for this orange cat.

    All the apostles stopped and they saw a energy tentacles reach out from the void and trap Matcha.

    Then, Matcha red and all the tentacled shattered into dust. He looked at all the apostles and said calmly, ¡°My gaze is like a sword. Even its aura can kill. I have no sword in my hand but a sword in the heart.¡±

    All the apostles who were gazed upon by Matcha felt a chill. Then, great pain seized their bodies.

    As the time froze and flowed again, all of them were bleeding profusely and they backed off. It was like they had been stabbed with a knife a dozen times.

    When everyone was panicking, the mind reading apostle paused. He started shouting, ¡°Be careful! It is not sight, it is...¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Matcha red at the mind reading apostle that was shouting and then he fell to the ground covered in blood.

    Seeing his own apostles failing, Richard was extremely shocked and said, ¡°What a cat! Perhaps he has other superpowers besides Time Freeze?¡± He was determined and shouted, ¡°Dead or alive! Shoot! Shoot immediately!¡±

    Gunshots pierced the air. Matcha allowed the bullets tond on his body and even on his eyeball. The bullets ttened upon impact and fell to the floor. Matcha didn¡¯t flinch at all.

    Elizabeth activated her power of illusion and everyone saw the scene clearly. Before they suspected that something was amiss, they were filled with shock and fear.

    ¡°Too insignificant.¡± Matcha dashed towards the attacking apostles. He grabbed an apostle¡¯s head, pressed it to the floor and gave him a severe beating.

    He pressed the apostle¡¯s head with one paw and beat his body with the other. With every strike, the apostle screamed in agony as his bones cracked.

    The surrounding apostles attacked using their handguns and energy tentacles, however, the bullets were unable to break Matcha¡¯s defenses and the energy leeching tentacles were not able to close in on Matcha as they were shredded the moment they appeared.

    ¡°Monster!¡±

    ¡°Our attacks are ineffective.¡±

    Seeing Matcha¡¯s invincible body, the apostles panicked. They were a bunch of criminals who bullied the weak and fought easy battles. Once they encountered strong opponents they lost their will to fight.

    Edward shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t panic! Attack from below! Restrain him!¡±

    His two brothers knelt down and touched the ground. Numerous energy tentacles squirmed out from the ground underneath Matcha and gripped onto his legs.

    Light shed from Edward¡¯s hand and he took an anti-tank rocketuncher from his Dimension Bag. Heunched the rocket at Matcha and jumped through a big door to the next room.

    Everyone screamed in terror as they fled in all directions. Firing a rocket in a confined underground space was a disaster. With the powerful st, everyone could be buried alive.

    Speedy, who had been beaten until he was left with a head and kicked into the bathroom, had recovered his original body. He stood up as his body emitted cold air.

    ¡°D*mn cat!¡±

    As Speedy was about to join hands with Edward to fight against Matcha, he saw the rocket flying towards Matcha.

    Matcha opened his mouth and swallowed the rocket. His body shook slightly after an internal explosion.

    Matcha shed and appeared in front of an apostle. He ced his palm on the apostle¡¯s head and hammered him like a pir into the ground.

    ¡°S*it!¡± Speedy turned and fled for his life.

    Edward stuck out his head to peek at Matcha hammering the apostle. Without any dy, he fled with his two brothers, disregarding the life and death of the other apostles.

    Hearing the screams behind him, Edward turned his head and saw an apostle being knocked into the wall by Matcha¡¯s tail.

    Edward shouted at Speedy, ¡°Speedy, where did you steal this cat?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know!¡± Speedy denied and then said with uncertainty, ¡°He mentioned that he is one of the Headless Horseman¡¯s cats?¡±

    ¡°S*it!¡± Edward wished Speedy dead and said angrily, ¡°You dared to capture the Headless Horseman¡¯s supercat? Are you mad?¡±

    Speedy retorted, ¡°Isn¡¯t it just another Cat King¡¯s cat? When I captured him, he was very weak. God knows why the cat went into a killing spree!¡±

    ¡°You!¡± Edward was so furious he felt he would explode anytime. ¡°Ignorant fool! We are going to die because of you!¡± Actually, Edward was ovee by greed and wanted to own the cat when he witnessed the Time Freeze. He did not consider the background of the cat carefully.

    No one would me themselves for their mistakes. Edward thought of a n to enact revenge on Speedy when he was safe.

    He had no intention to seek revenge on the Headless Horseman. As he was well-informed, he knew that the Headless Horseman was not an ordinary Cat King and had defeated hundreds of apostles in several battles. He had to be tired of living to antagonize the Headless Horseman.

    The fleeing group arrived at the entrance only to see a bald cat sprawled quietly in the middle. When the cat noticed them, he used the cell phone that said, ¡°Fleeing after stealing Headless Horseman¡¯s cat?¡±

    ¡°D*mn!¡± Edward gathered his wits, stopped himself, and prevented his two brothers from proceeding.

    Speedy dashed forward without any constraints, roaring furiously, ¡°Get lost!¡±

    He waved his right hand and it transformed into a panel-sized ice hammer. He smashed the ice hammer that weighed a few tons on Sphynx cat using his full strength and vented his pent-up frustration.

    Sphynx cat was exhrated and did not dodge his blow.

    A loud explosion rang out and his ice hammer shattered into pieces. He backed up dozens of steps in a daze and gazed at the intact Sphynx cat in astonishment.

    ¡°Run! Edward was terrified. He took out a bank card and threw it on the ground. ¡°There is one million in the card! Please forgive us and let us go!¡± He swiveled and walked a few steps to test Sphynx cat¡¯s reaction. When the coast was clear, he bolted.

    He was secretly pleased and thought, ¡°ording to rumors, the Headless Horseman¡¯s subordinates can be bribed.¡±

    Speedy was taken aback. He searched his body but could not find any money or bank card so he stammered, ¡°I didn¡¯t bring any money, could I put it on credit? I will send money to youter.¡±

    They gazed at each other. Seeing Sphynx cat sitting quietly on the ground, he retreated warily, then turned and fled.

    Sphynx cat mmed the floor with his paw in frustration as he thought, ¡°Zhao Yao is spoiling Matcha. He let me guard the entrance so that Matcha can deal with them personally, which I think is stupid.¡±

    As he walked towards the bank card, he saw a hand grab the bank card and a voice came from the thin air.

    ¡°It¡¯s mine!¡±

    Sphynx cat rolled his eyes and sat down again muttering, ¡°This is not my day.¡±

    As Edward and Speedy were fleeing for their lives, they heard a sinisterugh.

    Matcha extended his paw as he floated towards them and shouted eerily, ¡°You can¡¯t escape!¡±

    They braced themselves and sprinted halfway when they heard a scream. They turned to see aughing Matcha squirm out of the chest of Edward¡¯s brother, who was full of blood. Matcha licked his paw and said, ¡°None of you can escape.¡±

    As Matcha was extending his paw to kill them, Edward knelt on the ground, offered a gold card and begged, ¡°In this card is 5 million dors, please let us go!¡±

    Matcha was overjoyed to see the gold card. As he was about to help himself, it disappeared and Zhao Yao¡¯s voice rang in his ears.

    ¡°I will save it for you and return to you when you grow up.¡±

    ¡°Meow!¡± Matcha pped Edward till he flew away. Matcha yelled enraged, ¡°Don¡¯t insult my character with your money! Money will not save you!¡±

    Everyone screamed in terror and ran for their lives.

    Matcha roared as he chased after them. Zhao Yao followed them as he surveyed the mission panel and said, ¡°Satisfaction level is 70... huh? Dropped back to 60? This silly cat is insatiable.¡±

    Looking at the unconscious criminal, Zhao Yao flicked his finger and the Great Flow of Idleness superpower went into the criminal¡¯s mind. Zhao Yao resumed the chase and caught up with Matcha.

    Richard was puzzled while he ran furiously. ¡°What happened? Money is ineffective? Perhaps this cat doesn¡¯t like money?¡±

    Another scream was hearding from the entrance in front, which was guarded by a gigantic golden dragon. An apostle was standing too close to the dragon and was swallowed. The pupils of the dragon looked grimly at everyone and they shivered and felt a great sense of terror.

    ¡°Dragon?¡± Richard was depressed as he thought, ¡°Another creature of the Headless Horseman?¡± He yelled, ¡°Run! Run to the other side!¡±

    A majority of the men fled in terror while a minority lost their minds and rushed screaming towards the golden dragon, who opened his mouth and breathed fire. The scalding mes shot out and incinerated the entire underground passage. It was purged clean of life.

    Speedy ran in the front while his body emitted cold air. Behind him were Matcha¡¯s sinisterughs and screams of agonying from the apostles.

    ¡°I am d*mned! Why did I capture such a hideous creature?¡± Speedy had a single thought and that was to run as far away as possible.

    After turning a corner and seeing the final exit, he was filled with hopelessness.

    Richard was not far behind as he came up second to the copsed exit and gaped. He muttered dejectedly, ¡°Ourst hope is gone. Are we going to die?¡±

    The other criminals arrived at the copsed exit, which was filled with sand and mud, and were at a loss.

    Matcha¡¯s evilugh filled the air again as he said, ¡°Hehehehe,e y with me.¡±

    Argh!

    Matcha lifted his paws and pped the remaining apostles till they flew andnded on the ground bleeding and passed out.

    Richard shouted in desperation, ¡°I have money. I have lots of money. I can give you all my money. Please let me off!¡± All the apostles knelt on the floor and begged for mercy.

    Speedy was enraged as he yelled, ¡°Do you think he will let you off after pleading? You have begged for mercy, is it useful?¡± He grabbed Richard and tried to haul him up as he shouted, ¡°Get up and fight him to death! Even if we die, we will perish together!¡±

    As Matcha was about to kill them, Zhao Yao stepped out of the Dimension Portal and appeared behind him.

    ¡°It takes a lot for a man to kneel down. Since you have knelt down sincerely to plead for mercy, I will forgive you.¡±

    Zhao Yao was disguised as the Headless Horseman while he caressed Matcha¡¯s head and said, ¡°If you give me all your money, I will let you go. I am not a devil after all.¡±

    Seeing the mysterious headless man, everyone eximed, ¡°Headless Horseman!¡±

    Richard crawled forward on his knees, took out all his bank cards and said, ¡°My entire fortune is here! I will write the ess code in my cell phone! Thank you Headless Horseman for letting me go.¡±

    Zhao Yao kept the bank card and the cell phone, nodded in satisfaction, and said, ¡°You may leave!¡±

    Everyone was excited to hear Zhao Yao¡¯s words.

    ¡°Wait!¡± Speedy who wanted to fight to his death, shouted. As everyone watched in astonishment, he knelt down, offered his cell phone and yelled to Zhao Yao, ¡°I didn¡¯t bring my bank card with me. This is my cell phone bank ount. I am now giving it to you.¡±

    Zhao Yao took over the cell phone andughed heartily. ¡°He who understands the times is a wise man. Since you are so sincere, you may leave.¡±

    As Speedy left happily, the remaining apostles were exhrated and they happily queued up to offer their money to Zhao Yao. They rxed after knowing that they were not going to die.

    ¡°Haha, I am not going to die.¡±

    ¡°Fantastic, I am not going to die after giving my money.¡±

    ¡°The Headless Horseman is not as cruel as the rumors said!¡±

    Though the criminals were happy, Matcha felt very unhappy and pouted his lips at the leaving criminals.

    Satisfaction level dropped to 56%

    Satisfaction level dropped to 54%

    Satisfaction level dropped to 51%

    ¡°Zhao Yao, if you let them go after receiving money, once people know about this, we will be called out for being unprofessional and be aughing stock.¡±

    As Matcha¡¯s satisfaction level was dropping, Zhao Yao rubbed Matcha¡¯s ears and said telepathically, ¡°Silly kid, do you think I will let them off? Follow them and see for yourself.¡±

    Matcha was shocked and followed a leaving criminal. He discovered that the criminals would fall into the Extradimensional Belly after exiting and be the mission targets of the supercats.

    ¡°Do you need any help?¡±

    ¡°I am asking you, do you need any help?¡±

    ¡°Scratch him, scratch him until he cries for help!¡±

    Seeing the criminals crying and screaming, Matcha was depressed. From money to experience points, the criminals were squeezed dry.

    Recalling that they were ruthless cat and human kidnappers, Matcha felt better.

    As Speedy was being shoved into the microwave oven, Matcha ran over and shouted, ¡°Release that man, let me do it!¡± He shut off the oven. Before Speedy gloated over his fortune, he heard Matcha say, ¡°Microwave oven is no good, where is the ice crusher? Bring the ice crusher over!¡±

    After Zhao Yao finished collecting the criminals¡¯ money and sending them into the Extradimensional Belly for the experience points, he noticed that Matcha¡¯s satisfaction level stagnated at 90%.

    Although the satisfaction level was not full, he had drained the criminals of a few million dors and obtained noteworthy experience points. It was profitable.

    Zhao Yao decided toplete the mission and received 1800 experience points. He also received a few hundred experience points from the Extradimensional Belly¡¯s supercats whopleted missions of the harassed criminals.

    He released the kidnapped apostles and supercats. The criminal supercats were captured by Zhao Yao as he intended to reform them so that they would notmit any more crimes.

    Among the captured supercats was a mind reading supercat who was highly regarded by Zhao Yao.

    ¡°With the mind reading superpower, I will know what Matcha and the rest are thinking and it will be easier to manage them.¡±

    After ending Matcha¡¯s revenge mission, Zhao Yao intended to meet the mind reading supercat and have a good chat with him. He wanted to convince the cat so that he could use his superpower.

    A ck sheriff cat sat uneasily in a metal cage. Beside him were other supercats whose thoughts filled his mind.

    ¡°What shall I do? What shall I do?¡±

    ¡°We are doomed once we are captured by the Headless Horseman!¡±

    ¡°I heard he likes to y with cats. We will surely be yed to death.¡±

    After hearing the panicky thoughts of the nearby cats, the ck sheriff supercat shook his head and shut off his superpower. He felt better when all was quiet.

    An obese ck and white cat came to the cage and sized him up before saying, ¡°Are you sheriff? The mind reading supercat?¡±

    The ck sheriff supercat looked intensely at Roly Poly and listened to his thoughts.

    Roly Poly thought, ¡°If you listen to my thoughts, I will torture you to death.¡±

    ¡°Well...¡± The sheriff said reluctantly, ¡°Yes, I am. Though I can read minds, I don¡¯t usually use it as it affects my quality of life.¡±

    ¡°You are wise. Knowing too many things will shorten your life.¡± Roly Poly nodded and opened the cage as he said, ¡°Follow me. My boss wants to see you.¡± As the sheriff walked out of the cage, Roly Poly reminded him, ¡°Be smart. Don¡¯t offend my boss otherwise you will suffer.¡±

    The sheriff nodded and said, ¡°I understand.¡± His eyes rolled around as he listened to Roly Poly¡¯s thoughts.

    Roly Poly thought, ¡°He is pretty smart. Well, I didn¡¯t expect Matcha to gain the favor of the supercats by inviting them to a sumptuous meal. Previously, he was only interested in ying Mobile Legends. This is going to be difficult for me...¡±

    The sheriff quivered his ears and asked warily, ¡°How should I address you?¡±

    ¡°This cat will be ced in an important position by Zhao Yao.¡± Roly Poly looked askance at the sheriff and said, ¡°Call me Master Roly.¡±

    The sheriffplimented Roly Poly, ¡°Master Roly, you look quite gentlemanly. Though you are young, you look impressive and powerful. I suppose you are one of the highly regarded supercats of the Headless Horseman?¡±

    Roly Poly frowned and said, ¡°Yes, indeed.¡± He was ttered and he thought happily, ¡°Goodd, he is able to see my qualities beneath my thick fur. With such a glib tongue, he will... have a bright future.¡±

    The sheriff scoffed at Roly Poly in his heart but he blinked his eyes and asked innocently, ¡°Master Roly, why am I being summoned? I am new and ignorant so I need your guidance, Master Roly. I will be very grateful to you.¡±

    Roly Poly looked surprised as they walked into the Extradimensional Belly. Roly Poly said, ¡°Let me give you some advice so that you won¡¯t die here identally.

    ¡°Thank you, Master Roly.¡±

    Roly Poly said slowly, ¡°You have seen the ce. There are more cats than humans. The most important and powerful person here is the Headless Horseman, Master Zhao.¡±

    Roly Poly raised and sped his paws in the direction of Zhao Yao. ¡°Master Zhao cares for all cats and possesses the power to move both Heaven and Earth. We depend on him for a living. If you want to survive, you have to love and respect him.

    I am giving you a word of wisdom. You have to remember this in your heart. Heaven is great and the Earth isrge but neitherpare to Master Zhao. Do you understand?¡±

    ¡°Oh...¡± The sheriff nodded and said, ¡°I understand, thank you, Master Roly, for your advice.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. I am worried that you are green, overestimate yourself and will offend Master Zhao. Then I will be concerned with you.¡±

    Roly Poly swayed his head and said, ¡°Remember what I am about to tell you. Besides Master Zhao, you cannot antagonize Lady Zhao and Steward Bai. Lady Zhao is Master Zhao¡¯s blood sister. She has the ability to transform into a cat that only Master Zhao is allowed to touch and cuddle. Previously a few people tried to touch her and were severely punished by clearing night soil that is at least 30 meters high.¡±

    Roly Poly pointed at the nearby Midnight and Lang Gou who were working hard clearing night soil.

    The sheriff pitied them and nodded as he said, ¡°I will remember. When I see female cats, I will not touch them.¡±

    Roly Poly nodded and said slowly, ¡°Steward Bai is Master Zhao¡¯s most trusted man. Most of his assets are managed by Steward Bai. You must not antagonize him.¡±

    The sheriff nodded wildly.

    Roly Poly continued saying, ¡°Let¡¯s talk about cats. In Cat Nation, there are six sections and their leaders are the elite supercats that you cannot afford to offend. Look over there, those criminals who kidnapped Matcha are going through their tribtions.¡±

    The sheriff turned his head and saw Matcha shoving Speedy into the ice shaver machine. He felt a cold shiver as he thought, ¡°The cats here are terrifying!!¡±

    ¡°I understand.¡± He nodded and said, ¡°Master Roly, you are so smart and capable, you must be one of six sections¡¯ leaders.¡±

    ¡°Hehe, you are observant.¡± Roly Poly said, ¡°The Royal Cat Police Force, one of the six sections, is led by me. We hold the responsibility of watching over hundreds of cats.¡± Roly Polyughed arrogantly and said, ¡°Besides the six sections...¡±

    His eyes turned and he saw Milk Tea ying with the toy rat nearby. Heughed merrily and said to him, ¡°Milk Tea, are you ying by yourself? Why isn¡¯t Matcha with you?¡±

    Milk Tea nced at Roly Poly and ran away with his toy rat, thinking, ¡°Brother Matcha told me not to y with this fat cat as he will lead me astray.¡±

    Seeing Milk Tea run away, Roly Poly¡¯s face turned grave and he said, ¡°Why is Matcha so lucky to have a son?¡± He sighed silently. ¡°Since Matcha had a son, Zhao Yao showed him some favor. Could this be a grandfather¡¯s love for his grandson? Perhaps Matcha gained favor by having a sessor and Zhao Yao is less worried about him? Why don¡¯t I have a son too?¡±

    Although the sheriff activated his mind reading, he pretended not to hear anything. However, he thought, ¡°It is not easy to survive in the Headless Horseman¡¯s Cat Nation. There are so many supercats. They scheme against each other and their methods are extremely ruthless. This is going to be much more tiring than my time with the gangsters.¡±

    Roly Poly walked with the sheriff and showed him around. After leaving the Extradimensional Belly, they went into Cat Wondend to meet Zhao Yao.

    There were luxurious fittings and numerous supercats strolling about Cat Wondend. The sheriff gaped like a country bumpkin and tripped over Roly Poly.

    ¡°Don¡¯t act like a country bumpkin.¡±

    The sheriffposed himself and said with astonishment, ¡°Master Roly, where are we? Why is the renovation looking so slick? Why are there so many supercats?¡±

    ¡°This is Millionaire¡¯s Cat Wondend. It belongs to Master Zhao.¡± Roly Poly grabbed the sheriff by the neck and dragged him to Zhao Yao¡¯s office upstairs.

    Before entering the office, they saw Lucifer, whose body wascking in good fur, slowly crawling out. He was moaning and left a trail of blood in his path.

    The sheriff asked Roly Poly in shock, ¡°Roly Poly, this cat...¡±

    ¡°He is called Lucifer and is one of Master Zhao¡¯s favorite y cats.¡± Roly Poly said telepathically.

    ¡°y?¡± Seeing the moaning and crawling Lucifer, the sheriff shivered in fear. He looked at the office door and a great sense of terror arose in him. ¡°The Headless Horseman is a pervert!!¡±

    Lucifer crawled around the corner as the sheriff looked on with terror and sympathy. After crawling for a few meters, Lucifer stood up intact and walked off with a satisfied face.

    Roly Poly brought the sheriff into the office and gave a ttering smile to Zhao Yao as he said, ¡°Zhao Yao! I have brought the cat.¡±

    The sheriff looked behind the office desk and saw a human figure hidden in the shadows cast by the sofa. The shadows seemed to absorb all the light and obscured Zhao Yao¡¯s face.

    The sheriff activated his mind reading superpower to listen to his thoughts. He was immediately overwhelmed by pervading dark shadows as though ck ink had been poured into clear water. Images of cuddling cats, pinching cats, beating cats, torturing dogs, ckmail, smuggling catmint, extortion, robbery, murder, bullying shed by and stunned the sheriff for a long while.

    ¡°Is there such evil in this world? Is this human being the devil?¡±

    After the sheriff listened to Zhao Yao¡¯s thoughts and looked at the figure in the sofa¡¯s shadow, he was so frightened that he almost peed.

    ¡°The devil of all devils, the scumbag of the scumbags, the number one enemy of cats! Why is there such a person in this world?¡±

    Zhao Yao stood up from the sofa and moved out of the shadows. He sized up the sheriff and said, ¡°Are you able to read my thoughts? What am I thinking?¡±

    The sheriff was so scared that he fell to the floor. Roly Poly was getting impatient and kicked him, saying, ¡°What are you doing? Master is asking you. Stand up properly and answer! No manners at all¡­ Was my advice wasted?¡±

    The sheriff did not make any moves. He trembled as he listened intently to Zhao Yao¡¯s current thoughts.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Well, I don¡¯t feel like working. I want to y God of War. It is newly bought and I haven¡¯t touched it¡­¡±

    The sheriff was shocked and thought, ¡°Who is God of War? Another cat? He just made a cat disabled and he is thinking of another one. He is a horrible human¡­¡± He shook his head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t normally use my ability because the noisy thoughts will cause headaches.¡±

    ¡°Oh? Is that so?¡± Zhao Yao pinched his chin and thought, ¡°Feels useless, might as well send to the gallows.¡±

    The sheriff¡¯s fur immediately stood on ends and he wanted to rebuke but he suppressed his urge and thought, ¡°Test, he must be testing me! I will pretend not to hear!¡±

    He heard Zhao Yao¡¯s thoughts that said, ¡°Killing him will mess up the ce with his blood. I might just throw him away.¡±

    The sheriff wagged his tail happily and shouted joyfully in his thoughts, ¡°Very good, throw me away immediately!¡±

    Zhao Yao noticed the changes in the sheriff and rolled his eyes. ¡°He is indeed reading my mind. His expressions are written all over his face.¡±

    The sheriff shook his head like a rattle-drum and thought, ¡°No¡­ I didn¡¯t!¡±

    ¡°Humph, I am not afraid of your mind reading.¡± Zhao Yao folded his arms and said, ¡°I am upright so I am not afraid of my own shadows. My thoughts are righteous so I am not afraid of you listening to them.¡±

    Zhao Yao ced his head in front of the sheriff, looked into his eyeball and said, ¡°Is that correct?¡±

    ¡°If you utter nonsense, I will take down your head.¡±

    The sheriff shuddered and said gravely, ¡°Your thoughts are good and kind. I am so moved that I want to cry.¡± He wiped his face and continued, ¡°I have never met such a kind person.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and said, ¡°Tell me about yourself. Gang activities, kidnapping, hurting others, how many of crimes have youmitted? I am sure you are aware of that?¡± Zhao Yao returned to his sofa as he spoke. ¡°Since youmitted so many crimes, a gunshot should suffice. However, I think you have the potential to be a great cat so I am giving you a chance.¡±

    ¡°Thank you honorable Headless Horseman.¡±

    ¡°Skip the formalities. Just call me Zhao Yao. We are all equal.¡± Zhao Yao said but his thoughts were different. ¡°All cats have to equally listen to me. I will kill all disobedient cats.¡±

    ¡°Equality is good, equality is good.¡± The sheriff teared as he nodded and said, ¡°Tell me what I can do for you!¡±

    ¡°Not much things for now but I will find you when the need arises. I called you over for a meet and greet.¡± Zhao Yao said. ¡°You will help out in Cat Wondend. Roly Poly, he will be under your supervision.¡±

    Roly Poly nodded in agreement and was overjoyed as he thought, ¡°Excellent, with the sheriff¡¯s help, I will be able to understand what Zhao Yao is thinking with ease. Excellent!¡±

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Humph, I shall send the mind reading cat as a mole in the cat section. Won¡¯t I be able to figure out what they are thinking? This will preempt them from creating trouble.¡±

    The sheriff was speechless.

    ¡­

    Meanwhile, in a condominium in the rural area, the entire building was cordoned off by the cops.

    Numerous workers walked in and out collecting evidence in the building.

    Uncle Ho stood on the 12th floor and looked at the blood stains on the ground silently.

    He said in a rough voice, ¡°How¡¯s the situation?¡±

    Lin Chen shook his head and said, ¡°Twelve dead and three unconscious and seriously injured. They are most likely apostles.¡±

    ¡°Are there any evidences of the murderers?¡±

    Lin Chen said, ¡°There is only one murderer and he has no intention of hiding it. We foundrge number of footprints, hair, and blood samples.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Uncle Ho was pleasantly surprised and said, ¡°Is he in the database?¡± Early morning, he had received a call about a serious murder which wasmitted by apostles.

    While they were investigating the case in the first location, someone reported several murders in the current second location. The murderer was arrogant and disregarded the cops.

    While they had a news ckout, the superior wanted them to solve the case as soon as possible, thus giving Uncle Ho immense pressure.

    After being informed that the murderer left a lot of evidence, Uncle Ho was happy.

    Lin Chen shook his head and said, ¡°The evidence is cat paw prints, footprints and cat fur. His body isrger than a tiger. We cannot be sure it is the supercat¡¯s body or a human¡¯s body after transformation. From the blood analysis, it is not human.¡±

    Uncle Ho heaved heavily and said, ¡°What about the victims¡¯ testimony?¡±

    Lin Chen shook his head again and said, ¡°They are still in critical condition or in aa. As for the testimony of the passersby, no one saw the murderer.¡±

    Uncle Ho frowned and said, ¡°This case is tricky.¡±

    Lin Chen said, ¡°The only lead we have is that the supercats of both locations went missing. The murderer¡¯s intent seems to be stealing these supercats. Tracking these missing supercats might be our breakthrough for the case.¡±

    Uncle Ho nodded and said, ¡°Put all your efforts into these two cases. I will support you. The murderer is extremely cruel and dangerous. If the ruthless murderer continues to stay in Jianghai, we would be not be able to answer for the safety of the citizens. We have to catch him.¡±

    Lin Chen nodded and hesitated before asking, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t we inform the Headless Horseman?¡±

    ¡°We can¡¯t possible depend on him for everything.¡± Uncle Ho said, ¡°If we ask for his help every time, aren¡¯t we dependant?¡±

    At this time, Uncle Ho¡¯s cell phone rang. After taking the call, his face turned grave and he replied, ¡°Okay, yes, I know. I will send someone over.¡±

    Seeing Uncle Ho¡¯s expression, Lin Chen asked, ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°The murderer has struck again.¡± Uncle Ho was ghastly pale as he said, ¡°This time it is a cat house, all seven members are dead and the cats went missing.¡±

    Lin Chen exhaled deeply, his face looking grim as he said, ¡°This is too savage! I will bring the team over.¡±

    Seeing the receding figure of Lin Chen, Uncle Ho pondered and pressed on the cell phone screen. The contacts list indicated Zhao Yao¡¯s contact number.

    After thinking for a while, he eventually shook his head, sighed, and shut off his cell phone. He didn¡¯t make the call.

    After Zhao Yao saw the sheriff, he waved his hand and sent the two cats off. While the sheriff was leaving the office, he saw Milk Tea leaping and jumping as he ran into the office, with Yellow Mud behind Milk Tea yelling, ¡°Don¡¯t run so fast! Take care not to fall!¡±

    The sheriff shook his head and thought, ¡°Such a pity that a little kitten is going to be...¡± He sighed and left with Roly Poly.

    Milk Tea jumped into Zhao Yao¡¯s arms, scraping here and there and saying, ¡°Master Zhao! I received my sry!¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled as he nodded. ¡°Where did you clean today?¡±

    Milk Tea gestured with his paws and said, ¡°We cleaned the main hall and the casino below. We started yesterday once the business was closed when there were no guests around!¡±

    Zhao Yao was pleased as he cuddled Milk Tea¡¯s head and said, ¡°Milk Tea, you¡¯re so skilled.¡± He took out a wad of dors and gave it to Milk Tea. ¡°Take this Milk Tea. This is your reward!¡±

    Seeing so much money, Milk Tea opened his eyes in surprise and looked at Yellow Mud. He shook his head and said, ¡°No... I can¡¯t. My sry is not worth that much.¡±

    Zhao Yao was moved as his eyes shed with the image of Matcha.

    ...

    ¡°Zhao Yao! I have no money!¡± Matcha bit thep of Zhao Yao¡¯s pants and wailed, ¡°No money! No money! No money! No money! No money! No money! No money! No money...¡±

    ¡°Enough, I will transfer 500 dors to you.¡±

    ¡°That is not enough for me!¡± Matcha leaped on Zhao Yao¡¯s head and shouted, ¡°Give me money! I want money! Money! Money! Money...¡±

    ...

    ¡°They are both orange cats. Why is the difference so great?¡± Zhao Yao sighed with mixed feelings and caressed Milk Tea¡¯s head. ¡°It¡¯s alright. You did your job well so I am rewarding you.¡±

    ¡°No, I can¡¯t!¡± Milk Tea bat the cash with his paw and looked at Yellow Mud, who was encouraging him by nodding. Milk Tea inhaled deeply and said, ¡°My sry is not worth that much. Master Zhao, I can¡¯t take this hard earned money from you.¡±

    ¡°Silly kid.¡± Zhao Yao cuddled Milk Tea¡¯s back from the head to the tail. Seeing Milk Tea squint his eyes infort, Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Okay, I will not reward you with money. Since you worked so hard, I will reward you with a gift. Tell me what you want. I will get it for you as a gift. Don¡¯t refuse.¡±

    Milk Tea stared at Zhao Yao with hisrge eyes and hesitated as he wagged his tail. He said with anticipation, ¡°Master Zhao, can you y with the cat stick with me? I saw it on the television. People were ying with the cat stick with the little kittens.¡±

    Milk Tea¡¯s gaze was full of yearning. Zhao Yao covered his mouth and thought, ¡°Yes, almost identical to Matcha when he was young...¡±

    He recalled the past and thought of the current Matcha.

    ...

    The cat stick waved in front of Matcha before he became impatient and pushed the cat stick away as he said, ¡°What are you doing? Trying to fool me?¡±

    ¡°This is a cat stick Matcha! You loved ying with this when you were young!¡±

    ¡°You are boring me with the past. I am already grown up! I don¡¯t y with such silly things now.¡± Matcha said and he abruptly leaped on Zhao Yao¡¯s legs. He turned and tossed as he yelled, ¡°I want money! Help me charge my game ount with money! Money, money, money! If you don¡¯t help me, I won¡¯t get up!¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao stroked Milk Tea with mixed feelings. He took out the cat stick that had not been used for a long time and yed with it with Milk Tea.

    As the cat stick was waved and turned around, Milk Tea¡¯ body was twisting and turning correspondingly. He looked intently at Milk Tea, who would asionally swipe his paw at the cat stick.

    Seeing Milk Tea happily ying and focusing on the cat stick, Zhao Yao could not resist smiling and thought, ¡°I hope, Milk Tea, that you will grow up happy and healthy. Don¡¯t be like your unreliable dad.¡±

    ...

    In the Extradimensional Belly, Matcha was lying below the ice shaver machine licking the ice shavings when he had an idea and sat up.

    Old Cat was concerned and typed the words that said, ¡°What happened, Sir George?¡±

    Matcha frowned and his expression turned grim. He licked on the ice shavings and said, ¡°I feel that it will be better with strawberry sauce!¡±

    ¡°Understood!¡± Old Cat shouted to the cats to the side, ¡°Get some strawberry sauce!¡±

    Speedy who was stuck in the ice shaver machine roared, ¡°That is enough! My ability is limited! I can¡¯t possibly produce ice forever!¡±

    Matcha kicked the ice shaver machine and said, ¡°Why are you yelling? The weather¡¯s hot and we are wearing a thick coat of fur so we may get heat stroke. Why are youining when you are only contributing a small amount of ice? What a miser.¡±

    Speedy looked at the long queue of supercats standing before the ice shaver machine and wept but failed to shed a tear. ¡°You call this a small amount of ice?¡±

    Matcha shouted at the top of his voice, ¡°Free strawberry slurpee! Come and help yourself!¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao yed with Milk Tea for more than half an hour. Milk Tea started panting heavily, his stomach rising and ttening but hisrge eyes remained focused on the cat stick.

    Zhao Yao let Milk Tea lie down as he made the cat stick dance above Milk Tea, who swiped happily at it.

    Yellow Mud looked at the scene and giggled discreetly. ¡°That is great, I shall y with the cat stick with Floret too. It had been a long time since I yed with her.¡±

    As Zhao Yao indulged in ying with the cat stick, his cell phone rang.

    ¡°Someone called me directly on my cell phone? What happened?¡± Zhao Yao looked surprised as he picked up the phone. ¡°Nanako?¡±

    His brow raised as he opened up the phone and heard a feeble voiceing through.

    Nanako said, ¡°Mr Zhao Yao, sorry to bother you.¡±

    ¡°Nanako?¡± Zhao Yao was surprised and asked, ¡°Your voice sounds very bad, what happened?¡±

    ¡°I...¡± Nanako¡¯s voice was filled with tremendous sorrow as she said, ¡°My brother... has passed away.¡±

    Zhao Yao was dumbfounded and he answered gravely, ¡°I send my condolences. Is there anything I can help you with?¡± He stood up and his body exuded a serious aura.

    When hest saw Hideki Kujyo, he was a smart and capable young man. Zhao Yao did not expect him to pass away in just a few months.

    Milk Tea felt the change in Zhao Yao¡¯s attitude. He climbed up and stood by the side obediently.

    Nanako inhaled deeply and said, ¡°Five supercats attacked us and they were powerful and cruel. After they created a lot of trouble in the United States, they came to Japan.

    They attacked all the powerful apostles in Japan and stole their supercats. ording to thetest intelligence, they have arrived in China.¡±

    ¡°Oh!¡±

    ¡°Mr Zhao Yao, you have to be careful. They are extremely dangerous.¡±

    Zhao Yaoforted Nanako and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry Nanako. If they look for me, they will be in a very bad shape.¡±

    Zhao Yao chatted with Nanako for more than half an hour before hanging up. He thought, ¡°I wonder if Uncle Ho knew about this.¡±

    Zhao Yao texted Uncle Ho to check if he knew about the situation.

    ¡°They were able to create trouble in the United States and Japan so those five supercats were worth keeping.¡± Zhao Yao looked at his cell phone and thought, ¡°Tomorrow is the end of the month. I shall finish ounting before looking for those cats.¡±

    ...

    Late night along the Jianghai coastline.

    Sound of thepping waves filled the air. Rows and rows of feline robots came up the shore as though they were marines doing a coastnding.

    The silver metallic shell of the robots seemed both cold and hard and their crimson ray emitting eyes gave people shudders.

    A fire lit passageway appeared beside the feline robot army. Kun Wu had traveled over a long distance and arrived at Jianghai.

    Looking at the brightly lit and morous view of the city, Kun Wu was in deep thought. ¡°The time hase, Project X... I will stop you.¡±

    A feline robot lifted his head and said, ¡°Kun Wu, are you looking at Jianghai and thinking of the Headless Horseman again?¡±

    Kun Wu rolled her eyes and said, ¡°Doll, you are very annoying.¡±

    ¡°Annoying?¡± The feline robot said in shock, ¡°You find me annoying? You find me annoying now? Previously you asked me to speak more instead of typing!!¡±

    Kun Wu sighed.

    Doll was concerned and said, ¡°You are getting impatient.¡±

    Kun Wu frowned and said, ¡°Nope.¡±

    Doll said, ¡°You are obviously getting impatient. Do you find me annoying?!¡±

    Kun Wu sighed.

    ¡°You are sighing again!¡± Doll shouted. ¡°Do you dislike me now?¡±

    ¡°No...¡± Kun Wu said dispiritedly. ¡°Project X has arrived in Jianghai. Shall we defeat him first?¡±

    ...

    At the underground reception of Cat Wondend, everyone looked at the entrance and eximed in shock.

    A gigantic Maine Coon pushed himself in and stood beside the supercats. He looked like a tiger as he paced up and down the main hall, asionally pushing other cats to the side.

    The Ragdoll cat, Caesar, who was in charge of receiving guests, went up to greet him and said, ¡°Greetings, big brother, you are huge, furry, and you look amazing! Is this your first time at Cat Wondend? How should I address you?¡±

    Maine Coon looked askance at Caesar and said dully, ¡°Call me Sang Biao.¡±

    ¡°Brother Sang Biao.¡± Caesar smiled merrily and said, ¡°What would you like to y with in Cat Wondend? We have a plethora of food and entertainment to satisfy you. Even if you want...¡±

    Caesar looked left and right before moving close to Maine Coon¡¯s ear as he whispered, ¡°... Even if you want special service, I can make arrangements for you.¡±

    ¡°Special service?¡± The ears of the Maine Coon straightened as his eyes lit up. ¡°You provide special services here?¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡± Caesar said as he pulled Maine Coon to one side to avoid hindering the flow of customers. ¡°You havee to the right ce, Brother Sang Biao. If you are looking for special services in Cat Wondend, we have service attendants from Thand, Singapore, Indonesia, and other countries to suit your taste.¡±

    Maine Coon nodded happily and said, ¡°Good, very good, I want special services.¡±

    Caesar smiled happily as he brought Sang Biao to a private room at the deep end of the Cat Wondend and said, ¡°Brother Sang Biao, please wait a moment while I bring the cats over.¡±

    Sang Biaoughed loudly and nodded. ¡°Yes, yes, I will wait here.¡±

    Sang Biaoy on the bed with anticipation and thought, ¡°I already heard that Cat Wondend had lots of cats and a lot of entertainment. So, it is real. I will enjoy myself before capturing all the cats.¡±

    The intention of Sang Biao was not to have fun. Rather, it was to capture the supercats for Project X.

    He was involved in the few cases of missing supercats in Jianghai.

    Before capturing the cats, Sang Biao intended to indulge himself so he sprawled on the bed and waited for the services to begin.

    Sang Biao heard a door knock and he opened his eyes widely just to see Caesar lead numerous supercats into the room.

    ¡°Persian, Ragdoll, British Shorthair, American Shorthair...¡± Seeing numerous cats with long or short fur, that were slim or plump and had dark or light colored skin, Sang Biao¡¯s tail straightened. As he looked at the procession, he felt happier and pleasantly surprised.

    ¡°Cat Wondend is so amazing with so many different kinds of supercats. I must capture all of them!¡±

    As Sang Biao¡¯s eyes glimmered and his mind filled with sordid thoughts, he stared with his big eyes at Husky, who walked inst with his tail wagging.

    ¡°Woah! Even dogs? ¡± Sang Biao was astonished and eximed, ¡°This ce is quite liberal.¡±

    Caesarughed heartily and nodded. He looked at Husky and said, ¡°This is Noodle, our top favorite and the only superdog in the world! He had served a lot of customers who came especially for him as they wanted to have the pleasure of a dog¡¯s service.¡±

    Noodle nodded and wagged his tail at Sang Biao as he thought angrily, ¡°Fish Ball is taking revenge on me. He forced me to go underground to earn money from the supercats, who were getting more and more foolish. It is easier to earn their money aspared to the humans.¡±

    Sang Biao stood up and walked around Husky. Suddenly he lowered his head, stared with hisrge eyes and shouted, ¡°What? His family jewels arerger than mine? Is he a male dog?¡±

    Caesar coaxed, ¡°Yes, he is male and that is good. He is strong and skillful. Our customers were raving about him.¡±

    Sang Biao looked suspiciously at Noodle.

    Caesar asked, ¡°How¡¯s it, Brother Sang Biao? Who are you choosing?¡±

    Sang Biao thought for a while andughed loudly as he mmed down his paw on the ground, shouting, ¡°I am taking them all!¡±

    Caesar walked out of the room pleasantly surprised. He immediately messaged Roly Poly, ¡°This is amazing Roly Poly. A Maine Coon came and booked all my service attendants. Do you have any more cats? I will take them all!¡±

    Roly Poly was surprised and replied, ¡°Maine Coon? Where did hee from? What are his connections? Did you take a look at his background? Is he able to pay?¡±

    Caesar wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, ¡°I forgot to ask but it should be alright. Who darese here without paying?¡±

    Roly Poly was still worried and messaged, ¡°I will get Uncle Egg to bring the cats over. You willy in ambush outside. If he dares create trouble, capture him and shed his fur.¡±

    As Roly Poly and his men wereying in ambush, Maine Coon was in the room, lying contentedly on the bed. Several cats spat out their tongues and licked the long fur all over his body.

    The only annoying thing was Husky¡¯s huge tongue. Every lick was extremely wet and a lot of his long fur was stuck on his tongue.

    Seeing other cats, the Maine Coon was both happy and excited as he thought, ¡°They started out with licking? What kind of services are they providing next? I am looking forward to it...¡±

    Half an hourter, the Maine Coon began to wag his tail impatiently as he looked at the cats that were licking his body. He suddenly cleared his throat loudly and said, ¡°Are you guys done licking? Quickly start on the next service!¡±

    A Persian cat asked, ¡°The next service? Do you need a massage?¡± As it said that, it stretched out its paws and started massaging the Maine Coon.

    The Maine Coon suddenly red and spat out, ¡°I want an in-depth service. Do you all only know how to lick fur?¡±

    The Persian cat replied, ¡°We really just lick fur here. What else do you want us to do?¡±

    Hearing these words, the Maine Coon suddenly kicked out his paw, shing all five ws on it as he raged, ¡°Who asked you to lick my fur for so long?¡± He flipped over and immediately grabbed an American Shorthair. ¡°You! Lick me down below!¡±

    All the supercats around them shrieked and retreated in shock instantly. The American Shorthair could not escape no matter how much she struggled as an immense force held her neck in a deathgrip. She could only plead pitifully, ¡°Sir, we don¡¯t provide such services here.¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t?¡± The Maine Coon suddenly burst outughing. The next moment, his body vibrated as the fur on his back split open, turning into a mass of flesh and blood which split apart again as more than 10 tentacles erupted from his back.

    All the cats were dumbstruck at the sight of this monstrosity. They screamed all at once and started running out of the room.

    However, Sang Biao was not about to let them off so easily. His tentacles shot out in an instant and swept across the supercats like bolts of lightning, capturing all of them. He dragged all the female cats onto the bed, leaving only the husky behind. He stood rooted to the ground, immobilized with fear.

    Sang Biao burst into raucousughter after capturing all the female service cats at once. He dragged one Ragdoll cat and licked her face rabidly before stuffing her towards his ass.

    Sang Biao threatened viciously, ¡°You better serve me well or I¡¯ll eat you up.¡±

    The Ragdoll cat shrieked in fear before she burst out wailing miserably, ¡°No!!! I don¡¯t want to! I don¡¯t know how to! Someone save me please!!!¡±

    Sang Biao cackled sadistically, ¡°Cry! Cry louder! No one wille and save you even if you cry your lungs out!¡±

    Right at that moment, Sang Biao suddenly felt a sharp pain on his body. The husky was tearing ferociously at one of his tentacles.

    ¡°Go to Hell!¡± Sang Biao raged, retracting his tentacles with a loud explosion that sent the husky flying to the ground. Blood flowed out from the husky¡¯s mouth as he groaned in agony.

    A savage and perverted smile shed across Sang Biao¡¯s face before he grabbed the Ragdoll cat again and stuffed her towards his ass.

    The husky continued to spit out blood from his mouth as he crawled to his feet arduously and screamed, ¡°Wait, let her go!¡±

    Sang Biao stopped and looked at the husky slightly amused, ¡°Haha, you want to save her? With what?¡±

    The husky stared gravely at Sang Biao. He finally sighed as he thought, ¡°I can¡¯t watch the cats be tortured like this.¡± He waved his paws in defeat as he continued in a righteous tone, ¡°Let her go. I will service you in her ce.¡±

    ¡°Are you ying with me?¡± Sang Biao said scathingly before shooting out one of his tentacles at the husky. It was as if lightning had struck as it split the air which howling as it passed.

    Once the force struck, it would be enough to split the husky alive. Sang Biao was bent on killing him.

    Right at that perilous moment, a bolt of electricity swept across the roo, and smacked right into Sang Biao¡¯s tentacle. His tentacle flinched and lost its aim,unching the bolt to the side of the husky¡¯s body. The ground cracked and erupted to form a huge rock at the spot where the force struck.

    Sang Biao turned and stared at the entrance of the room, where more than 10 supercats charged in and surrounded him. An old cat amidst them, Uncle Egg, had bolts of electricity shing on his ws. Clearly that was the cat that had stopped him from killing the husky.

    Uncle Egg looked at the service supercats that were pinned on the bed by the Maine Coon¡¯s tentacles. He roared in anger, ¡°How brazen of you. Do you even know whose territory you are on? You actually have the guts to cause trouble here?¡±

    Sang Biao scoffed, ¡°Ignorant fool.¡±

    As he said that, the surfaceyer of his skin red up, forming a thick, ck scalyyer. Countless ck tentacles vibrated on the surface beforeshing out at Uncle Egg and the surrounding supercats.

    Uncle Egg unleashed multiple bolts of electricity but they no longer had any effect on Maine Coon. He eximed in shock before retreating as he could not believe what he saw, ¡°He grew a scalyyer that is electric shock-proof almost immediately! What exactly is his power?¡±

    One by one, the supercats were sent flying from the blows of Sang Biao¡¯s tentacles. The flesh and blood on his body rippled, slowly swallowing the supercats on his body. It was as if the flesh and blood swelled to form a jail cell, encasing each supercat in his body, leaving only their heads exposed on the surface of his body. The supercats screamed in agony and fear, startling the other supercats.

    Sang Biao nodded with satisfaction as he licked his lips and said, ¡°I¡¯ll keep all the supercats here.¡± As he said that he slowly stood up from the bed. The next moment, a loud bam was heard as he pounced towards Uncle Egg.

    After a while, ear-splitting screams erupted from the main hall as countless supercats were shrieking and running out from the entrance.

    Behind them, Sang Biao had be a two-meter tall, five to six-meters long, monster. Flesh and blood ebbed and flowed all over his body as hundreds of tentacles stretched out from his body, asionally swallowing a supercat into its body, leaving only the head of the supercat on the surface of his body to let out agonizing screams.

    All the supercats in Cat Wondend were terrified by this monstrosity and started running off in all directions. Sang Biao chased after them, swallowing the supercats in his way as he burst out with barbaricughter.

    ¡°Stop right there!¡± As it was one of Roly Poly¡¯s subordinates who had admitted Sang Biao, the cats from the Royal Cat Police Force were the first ones to react to the scene.

    Lion Head, who had the ability to erge and shrink her body, led the force as she charged forward. Her body grew and turned into the same size as Sang Biao in a matter of seconds before she collided into him and started tearing viciously at him.

    Lion Head mmed her ws on Sang Biao¡¯s head and screamed, ¡°Go to Hell! Quickly release them!¡±

    Sang Biaoughed like a maniac as he said, ¡°You guys are the ones going to Hell! You kittens are sheltered in this safe environment. While I was battling the strongest army in the world you guys were still digging for shit in sand pits.¡±

    The two were wrapped in a vicious battle. However, Lion Head was no match for her opponent at all even though they were of a simr size. In a few moments, Lion Head was whipped mercilessly and trapped by countless tentacles. She was terrified as she watched herself fall helplessly to her defeat.

    Roly Poly was angered and anxious at the same time as he kept sending out news and calling for reinforcement.

    Meanwhile, hundreds of tentacles hadpletely wrapped around Lion Head¡¯s limbs and head. The huge cat was stuffed towards Sang Biao¡¯s body as her whole body began to be engulfed by the mass of sticine-like flesh and blood.

    Meow!!!

    Lion Head felt herself being ¡®consumed¡¯ by her opponent¡¯s body and began to struggle violently and desperately. However, there was no way she could break out of the clutches of those tentacles.

    When Lion Head stopped struggling, the only thing that was left on the ground was Sang Biao, who had now swelled to twice his original size as if Lion Head had beenpletely eaten up by him.

    Sang Biao cracked his head and licked his lips as hemented, ¡°Tastes pretty good.¡±

    ¡°You scoundrel!¡± Roly Poly grabbed his eye mask immediately and shouted, ¡°All of you step back! I will deal with him personally.¡±

    Sang Biao eyed the fat cat in front of him as his lips curved into a savage smile. He licked his lips again and said, ¡°Calm down kitties. All of you will be in my stomach sooner orter.¡±

    At that moment, a ck shadow seemed to sh across the air.

    As a loud explosion erupted, a cat paw gently pressed on Sang Biao¡¯s head. However, it was as if a mountain hadnded on Sang Biao at that moment as his head crashed to the ground. Under the immense pressure of the force, his head was ttened on the ground. However, the force did not stop there as it continued pressing downwards, ttening and crushing his head into pieces.

    Roly Poly heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Sphynx cat m Sang Biao to the ground with just a paw. ¡°Sphynx cat! You came just in time!¡± He pointed at Sang Biao and shouted, ¡°He swallowed a whole bunch of cats into his body. Save them quickly!¡±

    ¡°Okay,¡± Sphynx cat nodded and nced coldly at Sang Biao. Although he mmed his head into the ground, Sang Biao¡¯s body continued to writhe and wriggle. One by one his tentacles extended, creating illusions of thousands of tentacles that split the air where they passed. The sound of the air exploding reverberated thunderously as the tentaclesshed out at Sphynx cat.

    ¡°You¡¯re still pulling these tricks?¡± Sphynx cat scoffed and struck out his paw. With that, he unleashed a majestic force that distorted and molded the air around them and resulted in a deafening explosion. White smoke visible to the naked eye burst out from his ws, tearing apart more than 10 tentacles at once.

    Sang Biao cried out in pain, stunned by his abilities as he thought to himself, ¡°This Cat Wondend actually has such a strong and powerful cat?¡± He roared like mad dog, ¡°I¡¯m going to tear you apart!¡±

    Sphynx cat scoffed again, ¡°Let¡¯s see who¡¯s the one being teared up!¡±

    Sphynx catnded on Sang Biao¡¯s body. After tearing the tentacles apart, Sphynx cat immediately stood upright. Starting from Sang Biao¡¯s head, he walked straight ahead. His footsteps left a trail of illusions as he advanced forward. With every step he took, he stomped on Sang Biao¡¯s body which continuously exploded. Chunks of flesh and blood sprayed outwards as his bones exploded under the crushing impact of Sphynx cat¡¯s footsteps.

    The power Sphynx cat exerted in every step he took was perfect. Not only did he burst Sang Biao¡¯s flesh and blood but every time he stepped on him, the force exerted on Sang Biao¡¯s body went right into the core of his bones. Every supercat that was trapped in Sang Biao¡¯s body was expelled together with his chunks of flesh and blood. This sent them flying into the main hall that was dozens of meters away. Sphynx cat even caught Lion Head by the tail and threw her out of Sang Biao¡¯s body.

    Roar!

    Sang Biao let out a deafening roar after suffering such a sudden, defeating blow. The organs in his body were transformed at once and emitted bolts of electricity that immediately electrocuted Sphynx cat.

    How fast was the speed of the electricity? It would be impossible even for Sphynx cat to avoid it. All the nerves in his body were numbed upon electrocution. Right in that instant, Sang Biao whipped his giant tail and mmed it right at Sphynx cat and sent him flying out like a baseball. Sphynx cat crashed into the wall in the main hall with a deafening explosion as huge, web-like cracks appeared almost immediately upon impact.

    Sang Biao roared in rage as the chunks of exploded flesh and blood slowly shrank and collected back on his body. Sharp bone spurs protruded from his back one by one. They shed with bolts of electricity as an electric current was transmitted between the bone spurs.

    ¡°Guys, go save the cats first! Bring the service cats to safety! Leave this guy to me and Sphynx cat.¡± Roly Polymanded his subordinate cats to bring away the supercats that Sphynx cat had saved while keeping a close eye on the chameleon-like Sang Biao whose body continued to transform into different powers. Roly Poly was trying his best to figure out Sang Biao and thus a strategic counterattack to his powers.

    ¡°This guy can actually change into different forms? These chunks of flesh and blood are just like sticine.¡±

    Roly Poly frowned deeply as he gradually went into invisibility mode. He was trying to guess Sang Biao¡¯s ability. ¡°First, it was the tentacles. After that, it was the electric instion on his skin. Now it became electric bone spurs. Does this mean that this guy¡¯s ability is continuous physical evolution to adapt to different kinds of battles?¡±

    Sang Biao no longer cared about the supercats that had been taken away to safety. His prime target was now Sphynx cat whom he eyed viciously as he roared in rage again, ¡°Stop feigning death. The amount of strength I exerted just now will not kill you! Get on your feet right now to fight!¡±

    As he said that, the electric bone spurs on Sang Biao¡¯s back fired up with greater intensity. It was as if bolts of electricity were transmitted across the void, illuminating his sinister aura.

    Bang! Sphynx cat dusted off the cement and bricks on his body as he got back on his feet. He cracked his neck as he stared at Sang Biao in front of him and said, ¡°Brilliant. If you can still survive after being struck by 10% of my strength, your ability should be among the top 100 supercats across the universe.¡±

    ¡°Arrogant fool.¡± Sang Biao let out a low growl as a few more bone spurs emerged on his back and radiated with electric waves. ¡°So what if you have immense physical strength? The strongest ability is one that can continuously evolve and adapt to this world, to the universe. That is truly the strongest ability.¡±

    As he said that, he growled with rage as bolts of electricity struck his own body. Sang Biao was instantly covered in a sh of white light from the electricity surrounding his body as he howled madly like a Lightning God.

    The next moment, the trail of his shadows followed behind him as he zed towards Sphynx cat like a bullet train.

    Sphynx cat became serious as his body entered into speed reaction mode in that instant. His feet lightly tapped the ground as he moved, causing a huge part of it to copse. It was as if he had teleported to the side of Sang Biao¡¯s body who was at the same time charging towards him at full speed.

    Sphynx cat threw a punch aimed at Sang Biao¡¯s body but he immediately felt an intense, sharp pain zap his whole body. He could even feel the burning sensation in his eyeballs.

    ¡°His electric current is too strong. It wouldn¡¯t make sense to fight him head-on...¡± Sphynx cat paused ever so slightly. His rich experience from countless battles and quick-witted mind allowed him to think critically and decide on battle strategies, even in speed reaction mode.

    In that split second, he had already retreated more than 100 meters. He watched as Sang Biao mmed into where he had been right, sting the wall apart and creating a depression in the ground.

    Sang Biao whipped around and mmed right through a stone pir as he charged towards Sphynx cat again.

    Both big and small cats sted their way across the main hall of the Cat Wondend. Where they passed,rge chunks of debris littered their trail.

    Sang Biao cackled madly, ¡°Run! Continue running! Do you think you can run away?¡±

    ¡°Idiot.¡± Sphynx cat scoffed and rolled his eyes before he dodged another blow from his opponent. He suddenly stopped on the spot and stamped with all his might on the floor.

    Bam! It was as if countless explosives were ignited at that moment, sting open the floor of the main hall as it copsed all the way down to the second basement.

    Sang Biao skidded to a stop as he dropped down with the rubble. He was shocked as he realised, ¡°This guy had been trying to wreck the floor all along? Just for this one blow? But so what if I fell down, I...¡±

    Bam! A huge block of cement flew towards him like a meteorite. With the additional force exerted by Sphynx cat, the huge block of cement mmed hard into Sang Biao¡¯s back, crushing more than 10 bone spurs at once as blood and flesh sttered all over the floor and walls.

    Sang Biao looked up and saw Sphynx cat standing at the edge of the copsed floor with all sorts of bricks, cement, and steel columns around him.

    Sang Biao immediately came to his senses as he realized what it was all about. ¡°This guy was trying to target me as I was falling and kill me with long-range attacks...¡±

    The next moment, a storm of attacks assaulted Sang Biao as Sphynx cat sent out steel columns and cement with every blow, making them rain on Sang Biao like meteor showers. In that instant, Sang Biao exploded into chunks of flesh and blood in midair as he let out gut-wrenching screams of pain and agony.

    As the smoke and dust subsided, the floor of the second basement level looked just like the surface of the Earth. The cement floor had been smashed into a bumpy surface covered with potholes. In the center of the floory a blurred mess of bloody flesh. It looked just like minced pork on a chopping board. There was even more bloody flesh that was scattered around the whole floor.

    ¡°Is he dead?¡±

    Just as Sphynx cat thought so, the chunks of flesh and blood suddenly wriggled out in all directions to escape. In the blink of an eye, the chunks of flesh and blood had already slipped into all sorts of cracks, holes, and sewers.

    ¡°What the hell?¡± In a sh, Sphynx cat had already rushed forward to burst apart the chunks of bloody flesh that were wriggling away.

    However, too much bloody flesh wriggled away all at once and most of it had already slipped into all kinds of cracks and crevices. It would have been impossible for Sphynx cat to destroy all of them in that instant.

    ¡°Disgusting!¡±

    The chunks of flesh and blood cackled unanimously, ¡°I¡¯ll let you off this time. Kitty, I have already found your weakness. I will be back after a few days until then... prepare for your death.¡±

    Hearing these words, Sphynx cat red murderously at his surroundings before a bright light burst out from his body, unleashing his powers such that all the chunks of flesh and blood within a hundred-meter range from exploded instantaneously. s, this did not stop the other chunks of flesh and blood from slipping away into the crevices.

    Just as Sphynx cat thought he would not be able to catch Sang Biao, all the chunks of flesh and blood that were wriggling away paused slightly before reversing with full force. Suddenly, all the chunks of flesh and blood that had escaped seeped out from all cracks and crevices in the walls and up from the gutter and sewers as they charged towards Sphynx cat with full force.

    Under the cover of invisibility, Roly Poly seized the opportunity and activated the Titanium Dog Eye power. He shouted to Sphynx cat, ¡°Sphynx cat, I mocked him! You can unleash your powers at full force now.¡±

    At the same time, Sang Biao roared in rage, ¡°B*stard! Are you looking down on me for escaping?¡±

    ¡°You really think I can¡¯t defeat you?¡±

    Seeing that Sang Biao returned to fight, not only was Sphynx cat fearless, he was actually ted. With a few ps of his paws, Sang Biao immediately burst intorge masses of flesh and blood charging towards Sphynx cat.

    Roly Poly, who was still invisible, stared intensely at the mass of flesh and blood on the floor with his Titanium Dog Eye. Although Sang Biao¡¯s flesh and blood were all over the ce, they were all connected to his consciousness. Hence, as long as Roly Poly aimed his eye at a part of the flesh and blood, he would be able topletely influence Sang Biao¡¯s consciousness and aggravate him to the point that he desperately wanted to kill Sphynx cat.

    In a blink of an eye, all the flesh and blood that had gathered in front of Sphynx cat were burst into dust.

    These attacks only served to aggravate Sang Biao more. Under the maniption of the Titanium Dog Eye, Sang Biao continued attacking Sphynx cat madly. Atst, he screamed telepathically in Sphynx cat¡¯s mind, ¡°You despise me right? Then go to hell with me!¡±

    All the flesh and blood that was wriggling around transformed in a sh, turning into bright colors of yellow, green, and purple. The whole basement level seemed to have blossomed into a field of brightly colored flowers in that instant.

    However, these fluorescent colors rang rm bells in Sphynx cat¡¯s mind as a sense of impending doom swelled in his heart.

    In the next moment, the colorful chunks of flesh and blood burst apart one by one, emitting toxic green fumes that rose into the air and spread out in all directions.

    This was Sang Biao¡¯s final suicide attack. He could secrete virulent toxins from his body which even his own flesh and blood was not immune to. The toxins secreted could kill anything within a thousand-meter range.

    This suicide attack was a move that Sang Biao had intended not to use in his life. However, after being provoked by Roly Poly¡¯s Titanium Dog Eye, Sang Biao was pushed to the point of unleashing it at all costs.

    In the very first instance when he saw the toxic smoke, Sphynx cat retreated at once, flying right out of the space, grabbing the invisible Roly Poly along with him.

    Sphynx cat screamed as he watched the toxic smoke spreading in no time, ¡°Quick tell all the cats in the vicinity to retreat, as well as the humans on the nearby streets! This toxic smoke is very abnormal...¡±

    Roly Poly typed away furiously on his phone as he informed Zhao Yao and the rest.

    At that moment, an invisible force field swept across and covered the ceiling, containing therge volume of smoke that had been rising upwards.

    Ares appeared on the edge of the ceiling as he casted the Deflective Field to seal off the toxic smoke. He shouted, ¡°I managed to seal the top. Beware of the bottom, guys!¡±

    On the other side of the entrance, F¨±jin rushed forward with torrents of wind circling his body as he blew the toxic fumes in front of him right back into the main hall.

    However, seeing as the toxic smoke billowed all over the ce and was looking to seep out elsewhere, F¨±jin screamed, ¡°Quick think of something else! There¡¯s no way topletely seal off this thing!¡±

    ¡°Watch me!¡±

    Zoom zoom zoom zoom! One by one, the walls in the main hall vanished into thin air. Dust Ball fell from the sky right into the billowing toxic smoke as she ate up the walls in her way.

    The next moment, she opened her mouth wide and took a deep breath. It was as if her body turned into a ck hole as she sucked all the toxic smoke in the air, swallowing it into the Extradimensional Belly.

    In the Extradimensional Belly, Dust Ball exhaled the toxic smoke into huge empty buckets.

    Red Packet stared at the diminishing number of empty buckets and shouted, ¡°Hey, what I am supposed to do with the toxic gas? I can¡¯t flush it down the toilet, right?¡±

    ¡°How can you flush it down the toilet?¡± Lucifer roared and charged towards one of the toxic gas buckets. He grabbed one of it and began to inhale the toxic gas, giggling foolishly as he did so.

    Seeing the shocked faces of the supercats around him, Lucifer said in a righteous tone, ¡°Stay back everyone, I will cleanse this ce of all the toxic gas today! Not a single cat is to die today!¡±

    Outside the Extradimensional Belly, F¨±jin and Ares blew thest remaining bout of toxic smoke towards Dust Ball, who sucked it all in with a single breath. Shended on the floor, patting her stomach before letting out a loud burp, scaring the wits out of Ares and F¨±jin who immediately retreated far away from her.

    Dust Ball waved at them and said, ¡°It¡¯s a natural response. It¡¯s natural. Don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t burp out the toxic smoke.¡± As she said that, she looked at Zhao Yao, who was standing beside her, and asked curiously, ¡°Zhao Yao, is that guy still alive?¡±

    Nobody knew when Zhao Yao had appeared. When he did, he stood in the centre of a depression, holding a ss bottle in his hand. A small piece of Sang Biao¡¯s flesh and bloody in the bottle.

    While the cats were using their powers to resolve the toxic smoke situation, Zhao Yao had activated time freeze and covered Roly Poly¡¯s eyes, removing the Titanium Dog Eye power to scoop up thest remaining bit of Sang Biao¡¯s flesh and blood.

    Zhao Yao looked at Sang Biao, who continued to wriggle in the bottle. He scoffed and said, ¡°You want to die? Look at the mess you made.¡± He pointed to the wrecked main hall before them before he continued angrily, ¡°Don¡¯t even think about dying until you¡¯ve paid off all your debt.¡±

    Roly Poly, who was wearing the eye mask, reappeared from thin air as he rushed to hug Zhao Yao¡¯s leg. ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! This guy came to find trouble at our ce! Not only did he refuse to pay, he even wanted to abduct our cats! Luckily Sphynx cat came in time to stop him. If we didn¡¯t react quickly, he would have gotten his way.¡±

    Zhao Yao patted Roly Poly and nodded, ¡°Great use of the Titanium Dog Eye.¡±

    Roly Poly was still thinking of how to brag about his performance in the situation. Hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s praise, he started giggling with delight.

    Sphynx cat walked up to Zhao Yao, staring at Sang Biao doubtfully. ¡°This guy¡¯s power is really bizarre. His physique is totally different from ours. It can transform, reassemble, and even secrete virulent toxins.

    If not for the fact that everyone came together and activated their powers, even if I managed to defeat him, a lot of humans and cats would have died in the process.¡±

    In the bottle, the captured Sang Biao continued to wriggle around. The piece of flesh and blood had already turned into a thumb-sized Maine Coon. Seeing the cats and Zhao Yao gathered around him, he began to prance around the bottle rabidly, pressing his body against the ss bottle as he screamed, ¡°How dare you guys! Release me right now! Or I¡¯ll kill all of you!¡±

    Hearing Sang Biao¡¯s threats, Zhao Yaoughed mockingly and said as he stared at Sang Biao in the eyes, ¡°Hehe, d*mn cat, you¡¯re really quite crazy.¡±

    ¡°So many of you up against just one of me, it¡¯s not a fair battle!¡± Sang Biao scoffed in return. ¡°Laugh as hard as you want now, human. There¡¯s not much time left for you tough anyway.¡±

    10 minutester...

    ¡°Release me now!¡± Sang Biao, who was reduced to a thumb-sized Maine Coon wailed, ¡°You¡¯re inhuman! You¡¯re a devil!!¡±

    In front of Sang Biao, Roly Poly stood up and trembled a little before walking out with satisfaction, leaving an enraged and ashamed Sang Biao behind.

    Just as Roly Poly was about leave the toilet, he saw Ares waiting in line behind him. The two cats exchanged nces and smirked at the same time.

    Roly Poly said, ¡°Ares, you¡¯re here as well.¡±

    ¡°Yeah, how was it, Roly Poly? Is this guy good?¡± Ares chuckled as he asked.

    ¡°One word: amazing.¡± Roly Poly ginned with satisfaction. He patted Ares¡¯ shoulder and said, ¡°Enjoy buddy. I¡¯ll make a move first.¡±

    Ares walked up excitedly and saw Sang Biao trapped in the cat toilet under the Deflective Field. He walked up and squatted slightly. Swishing sounds were heard as he peed in the cat litter.

    After peeing, Ares¡¯ body shook a little before he walked over to Sang Biao¡¯s side. He found a clean spot on Sang Biao¡¯s body before picking up the thumb-sized Maine Coon and using him to wipe his butt.

    The smell of pee assaulted Sang Biao¡¯s nose as he felt his body being rubbed against the other party¡¯s ass. Sang Biao was so angry that all the fur on his body burst out in rage.

    Ares was surprised and delighted. ¡°You¡¯re even better to use with your red fur!!¡±

    ¡°You guys! All you... idiots! Dirty! Shameless and immoral things!¡± Sang Biao felt as if he was going to explode from anger when he suddenly heard voices rushing in from outside the toilet, ¡°Ares, are you done?!¡±

    ¡°Quickly!¡±

    ¡°So many cats are waiting!¡±

    Ares shouted back, ¡°Okay okay, I¡¯m done.¡± When he came out he saw Yellow Mud enter immediately.

    Sang Biao looked at the long, snaking queue outside the cat toilet and suddenly felt as if his world had turned into a dark abyss. He broke down and screamed, ¡°Human! What exactly do you want?¡±

    Zhao Yao, who was standing beside the toilet, smiled condescendingly. ¡°Foolish cat, you still insist on being crazy?¡±

    Sang Biao opened his mouth and was about to continueshing out when he saw Yellow Muding into the cubicle. His expression immediately turned sorrowful as he said pitifully, ¡°You can¡¯t do this to me.¡±

    Zhao Yao scoffed as he replied, ¡°Think about the mess you made. Just the ground floor, wallpaper, ceiling, and all other kinds of furniture and decorations alone would cost me more than 100 000 dors to refurbish and renovate the entire ce. Not to mention how you scared off hundreds of my customers. When the word goes out, it will affect thousands more customers. Consequently, this amounts to approximately one to two hundred millions in losses...¡±

    As Sang Biao listened, he felt his brain slowly spiralling into despair as numerous zeros appeared in his mind as if he was scrolling down a screen of zeros. However, he still understood the core of the whole ramble. Basically, his destructive power was too strong. It caused widespread destruction, and massive losses.

    He could not help but smile as he thought, ¡°My powers are truly magnificent!¡±

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°... Given such massive losses, you should naturally be the one to pay the price. Starting from today onwards, you will be used as the toilet paper here. I will pay you 10 dors a day. Once you¡¯ve paid off one billion, I will let you go.¡±

    ¡°Hold up. One billion?¡± Sang Biao felt like his brain was slowing down as he could not calcte properly.

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°Of course. You think calcting the cost of damages alone would suffice? My crew of service cats has been profoundly startled by your actions. Shouldn¡¯t youpensate for their emotional damages?¡±

    They won¡¯t be able to work for the next few days. Shouldn¡¯t youpensate for their pay? Even if you don¡¯t count their pay, they need money for food. Don¡¯t you need to be fed too? Some of the service cats weren¡¯t in a good mental state to begin with and fell into depression because of your actions that creates medical costs as well... After adding all these misceneous costs together, is the total amount any less?¡±

    Sang Biao was hesitant. ¡°Really?¡±

    ¡°Obviously, you¡¯re an uneducated cat that didn¡¯t even go to elementary school. I¡¯m a university graduate. I¡¯ve studied so much in my life. I wouldn¡¯t lie to you,¡± Zhao Yao continued. ¡°You can either work as toilet paper and earn 10 dors a day here or choose a different punishment. I can soak you in a shit pit as well. Just one year of that will be enough for my anger to subside and let you go.¡±

    ¡°But...¡± Sang Biao started calcting in his mind. ¡°A total of one billion. If I earn 10 dors a day, I will earn 100 dors in 10 days, 1000 dors in 100 days...¡±

    He bellowed in rage, ¡°So, how long do I have to be toilet paper for exactly?¡±

    Zhao Yao said casually, ¡°Not too long actually. Maybe a few hundred thousand years. You don¡¯t want to be toilet paper? Then you can soak in the shit pit. One year will do.¡±

    Sang Biao was silent for a moment. He looked at another approaching supercat and started struggling madly again, ¡°No!!! I don¡¯t want to be toilet paper for hundreds of thousands of years! I don¡¯t want to soak in the shit pit for a year either! Is there any other way?¡±

    ¡°There are other ways too,¡± Zhao Yao replied. ¡°But seeing your arrogance, if I let you do other jobs, you might not be willing to do them.¡±

    Sang Biao broke down in despair as he cried, ¡°I am willing, very willing. I admit defeat! Don¡¯t let me be toilet paper anymore!¡±

    Zhao Yao gestured with his finger to sheriff at the side, signalling at him to unleash his psychic powers and read Sang Biao¡¯s mind. He continued asking Sang Biao, ¡°You admit defeat? So tell me, why dide to my Cat Wondend to make a scene? Who sent you here? Did anyone tell you to?¡±

    At the side, the sheriff watched Zhao Yao¡¯s actions and thought to himself, ¡°This devil...¡±

    Hearing his words, Sang Biao thought for a while before replying, ¡°No one instructed me. I came here on my own to seize the cats here.¡±

    ¡°No one?¡± Zhao Yao nced at the sheriff, who shook his head.

    Sang Biao paused, ¡°Not exactly, there was someone who sent me to catch cats but he didn¡¯t specify the location...¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes shed and immediately asked, ¡°Who is it?¡±

    Sang Biao shivered and curled up his body. He shook his head with determination as he replied, ¡°I can¡¯t say. I¡¯m not supposed to.¡±

    Seeing Sang Biao¡¯s reaction, Zhao Yao turned towards the sheriff and asked telepathically, ¡°How is it?¡±

    The sheriff did not reply as he was immersed in Sang Biao¡¯s thoughts. He could see in Sang Biao¡¯s memories a bizarre cat that was radiating limitless rays of light from his body. That cat was soaring freely in the sky, spreading hope and dreams of a future for various cats, just like a guardian angel of cats.

    This was apparently the image of Project X in Sang Biao¡¯s heart.

    The sheriff frowned as he thought, ¡°There¡¯s such a cat?¡± Suddenly, he felt a huge hand pressing down on his head. He turned and saw that Zhao Yao was touching him.

    ¡°Sheriff, can you see who¡¯s the one instructing him?¡±

    The sheriff looked again at Zhao Yao¡¯s heart. He was surrounded by ck smoke and had horns on his head, emanating an evil aura. He sighed in despair, ¡°In reality, the devil is still more powerful. I can only be a cat spy.¡±

    Hence, the sheriff quickly described to Zhao Yao what he saw in Sang Biao¡¯s mind.

    ¡°Oh? A weird cat?¡± Zhao Yao heard the Sheriff¡¯s report, rubbed his chin, and asked Sang Biao. ¡°You don¡¯t dare to speak of him? Are you afraid that he would take revenge on you? It¡¯s okay. I will protect you.¡±

    Sang Biao remained immobile and curled up in a corner without saying anything.

    Although he said nothing, deep inside, he was conflicted.

    ¡°Forget it. I shall endure it today.¡±

    ¡°Anyways it¡¯s just going to be one or two days. Project X wille and save me.¡±

    ¡°Just endure it.¡±

    ¡°But, I can¡¯t endure it anymore! If I can endure being toilet paper, I might as well kill myself.¡±

    ¡°But I can¡¯t reveal information about Project X. If I do, I can¡¯t even be tissue paper anymore. Project X will chop me up and barbecue me.¡±

    Sang Biao hesitated and his eyes lit up. ¡°Wait, I can provide fake information for them. They won¡¯t even know if I am speaking the truth.¡±

    Thinking of this, Sang Biao replied, ¡°You guy really can protect me?¡±

    Zhao Yao listened to the Sheriff¡¯s mind reading andughed coldly. On the surface he said, ¡°Of course. As long as you tell us who is behind all of this, you no longer need to be toilet paper.¡±

    Sang Biao pretended to hesitate for a while and answered, ¡°Okay... I will tell you. The person who instructed me toe here was a guy. He looks really ugly and loves to abuse cats. He always scolds and hits us...¡±

    When Sang Biao was lying, his mind recalled information about Project X. This information was retrieved with Sheriff¡¯s mind reading without him knowing and was conveyed to Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao asked again. ¡°What other cats so you have? What powers?¡±

    As Sang Biao was engrossed in lying, he couldn¡¯t help but recall the powers of his buddies and Project X.

    The more Zhao Yao heard from the Sheriff, the more surprised he was.

    When the Sheriff was reading Sang Biao¡¯s mind, he was even more shocked. He was astonished. ¡°There are such powerful cats in this world? Can I... deal with such cats?¡±

    When he heard that that guy had already gone to the United States and Japan to create chaos and wasing to China to capture supercats. Then, he realized.

    ¡°Are they the group of cats that Nanako talked about?¡± Zhao Yao fell solemn and his light-hearted mood disappeared.

    Although he was confident about his supercats¡¯ powers, the destructive powers that Sang Biao had shown and their experience against the United States¡¯ army and apostles all showed that Project X was not to be belittled.

    Especially Project X, ording to Sang Biao¡¯s memory, he had the power to take other supercat¡¯s powers.

    ¡°ording to Sang Biao, Project X has at least a hundred different powers.¡± Thinking of this, Zhao Yao was rmed.

    A cat with hundreds of powers. It was like Buddha from the legends.

    Now, Zhao Yao had to fight against such a cat. Even he felt that it wasn¡¯t a simple matter.

    ¡°However, in a superpower battle, the biggest danger is to belittle the opponent. Even with hundreds of powers, he isn¡¯t invincible.¡± From what Project X is doing, he will not let me, Cat King of Jianghai, go.

    Furthermore, I captured Sang Biao. This war is inevitable. However, since Project X hase to Jianghai, how can I not ambush him, surround him, or poison him?

    Thinking of this, a n formed in Zhao Yao¡¯s mind. He looked down at the Sheriff and touched his body. Zhao Yao immediately felt the trembling.

    Zhao Yao looked at cat fur on his hand and spoke to him privately. ¡°Sheriff? Are you scared?¡±

    Sheriffughed and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine. Anyways Zhao Yao, you are sure to win.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes narrowed as he carried Sheriff. ¡°You can follow me now. I have never really carried you properly.¡± Sheriff was a neer and used to provide criminals with powers. Hence, now that he knew of Project X, Zhao Yao had to be wary of his betrayal.

    Meanwhile, when Sang Biao saw that Zhao Yao had stopped asking he said hurriedly. ¡°Is it okay? I have said whatever you asked for. I can even help you deal with him as long as you let me go.

    ¡°Well, you are very sincere and the information you provided is very useful.¡±

    Sang Biao wasughing in his heart as he said, ¡°Hahaha, this idiot. He fell for my lies.¡±

    Then, a meow came from beside Sang Biao. ¡°What are youughing at?¡±

    Sang Biao looked up and saw an orange cat walking around him and look disgusted. ¡°All the sides are used. How am I going to use it? How can Zhao Yao do this just to save up a little bit of money for toilet paper. I think I am better off licking myself.¡±

    Then, Matcha left the toilet in disgust.

    When Sang Biao saw Matcha¡¯s disdain, he got angrier. ¡°Damn it! You dare to look down on me? Normally, I am cleaner than all of you!!¡±

    He looked at Zhao Yao and said hurriedly. ¡°Hey, aren¡¯t we a team now? Can¡¯t you let me out? I need to clean myself! It is too dirty here!¡±

    However, he felt that the invisible chains on him were still not released. No matter how hard he yelled, he no longer got any reply.

    Outside the toilet, Zhao Yao called Ares to watch Sang Biao and he left the Extradimensional Belly.

    ¡°From what Project X has been doing, my fight with him is inevitable. Then, why not strike first and have the upper hand.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°The monthly settlements wille in tomorrow. If I can fight them tomorrow, it would be more advantaged for me. By then, after adding the experience points, leveling up the cats and trying the lucky draw, I can let Sang Biao go secretly and follow him to ambush Project X.¡±

    ¡°But this is the best case scenario. However, in this one day and night, we are most likely going to encounter Project Xing to Cat Wondend to find the missing Sang Biao. Then, we have to attack them here.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought about it and made a decision.¡±Let¡¯s prepare for both scenarios. One is attack after the monthly settlements and the other is to set up an ambush in Cat Wondend.¡±

    Zhao Yao was very serious about this, he felt unprecedented pressure from the information about Project X.

    He left Extradimensional Belly and return to Cat Wondend to begin his ns.

    Meanwhile, Sang Biao was still screaming in the toilet, however, Zhao Yao had already left.

    ¡°You jerk! You lied to me!¡±

    ¡°Humans are indeed unreliable creatures!¡±

    Sang Biao got angrier as he thought about it. Although he still was toilet paper, because he was too dirty no cat used him.

    ¡°Phew, I¡¯m luckily no cat came in.¡± Sang Biao sighed out of relief. ¡°But I am still so angry!¡±

    When Sang Biao was sulking, a sneaky head poked into the cat toilet.

    Sang Biao looked at was rmed. ¡°Is that a dog? What is he doing here?¡±

    Then, he saw Noodle sniffing outside sneakily and look at Sang Biao with a gleam in his eyes.

    ¡°This...¡± Noodle looked at Sang Biao and bbergasted. ¡°This is a concentration of heavenly nectar! It is magical!¡± He charged into the cat toilet.

    However, the cat toilet was for cats. Noodle was too big for it, hence, only his upper body could fit inside.

    About ten meters away, in the cat bed, Ares, who was in charge of watching Sang Biao, saw Noodle sticking his head into the toilet. Ares was confused. ¡°What is that guy doing?¡±

    After a few minutes, a terrified howl came from the toilet.

    ¡°What are you doing!¡±

    ¡°Stop it!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t lick there!¡±

    However, the husky was more and more awake. He felt there was a power him.

    ¡°Yes! It is this feeling! Hahahaha, my powers are back!¡±

    Ares frowned and looked at Noodle wag his tail happily. ¡°Looks like this husky is definitely a pure breed.¡±

    Then, his phone started vibrating. Ares looked at his phone and realized that he was added in a group chat. Zhao Yao was talking in it.

    ¡°Everyone please take note. Cat Wondend will be close for the next two days but this does not mean that you guys are on a holiday. The details are below...¡±

 Chapter 784: Kun Wu

    <h4>Chapter 784: Kun Wu</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    At night, in the suburbs of Jianghai.

    There was an abandoned warehouse beside the road and the entire warehouse looked pitch ck from afar. A thick darkness seemed to cover every inch of space. Even if one walked in to observe, the situation inside could not be seen.

    Outside the warehouse, there was a mouse running around under the moonlight. It would lift its head and sniff around for food.

    However, just when it ran under the window of the warehouse and tried to enter the warehouse, the shadow behind the window started shifting. The mouse started screaming and fell to ground, too frightened to move.

    The next moment, countless ck des came out from the shadows and cut the mouse into several pieces before throwing it out.

    Thousands of miles away, Doll shook his head. ¡°The mouse died. It seems like they have the power to control shadows and change the shadows into a sharp de.¡±

    Kun Wu was grabbing onto her tail and biting the fur off her tail. Her eyes were filled with tension and fear.

    Doll reported the situation again but Kun Wu still did not react. He patted Kun Wu on the head and asked, ¡°Kun Wu? Kun Wu?¡±

    Kun Wu was trembling and spoke in a tearful voice, ¡°Doll, I am very scared.¡±

    Ever since Kun Wu hade to Jianghai, she had been uneasy. This uneasiness grew deeper as she tracked down Project X. When they were only a thousand miles away, the fear in her heart was like knives dangling above her heart and neck.

    Seeing Kun Wu like this, Doll licked her fur immediately andforted her. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, Kun Wu. I am protecting you. We are so far away. He will never discover us. Furthermore, we brought so many robot cats with us. No matter how powerful he is, he is only powerful with those with powers. He cannot control these robots.¡±

    Kun Wu was trembling. ¡°But... Can¡¯t you feel?¡±

    ¡°Feel?¡±

    Kun Wu looked towards the warehouse and said in fear. ¡°The malice... It¡¯s so strong. It is as if hell has been brought to Earth. Let¡¯s... let¡¯s stay further away.¡±

    Looking Kun Wu¡¯s frightened state, Doll reached out his paws and nodded. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s retreat another five kilometers.¡±

    After a few minutes, two cats appeared on the rooftop of a small building. There were dozens of monitors in front of them and it showed the warehouse¡¯s exterior.

    Doll said, ¡°All the armed forces have taken their positions. Kun Wu, we are about to take action.¡±

    ¡°Wait!¡± Kun Wu shook her paws and said, ¡°Let me take a look. Let me look at the situation.¡±

    Doll knew that because of unknown reasons, Kun Wu could share Project X¡¯s vision and hearing. However, as she was growing more and more afraid, the sharing would bring about great psychological damage, hence, Kun Wu had not done it in a long time.

    After hearing Kun Wu, Doll advised. ¡°There¡¯s no need to. Kun Wu, we can watch them through the camera. Don¡¯t force yourself.¡±

    Although Kun Wu was still trembling, she shook her head firmly. ¡°Doll, although I am really panicky and there is an indescribable fear in my heart, but you know, it is because of this fear that I have to be even more careful. I need even more confidence to deal with Project X.¡±

    Kun Wuid slowly onto the floor as she spoke and closed her eyes. ¡°Let me take a look. Don¡¯t worry. I will not force it.¡±

    Then, Kun Wu closed her eyes. Doll waited for a while and shook his paws in front of Kun Wu. ¡°Kun Wu? Kun Wu, can you hear?¡±

    Doll was thinking. ¡°Connected already?¡± He sat down beside a monitor and after a series of operations, he logged into the forum on Cat web.

    ¡°Anyways since I have nothing to do, let¡¯s take a look at the effects of my n.¡±

    He pressed in and Doll saw the entire screen was filledments hurling insults at the Headless Horseman.

    ¡°Shocked! The Headless Horseman goes after male cats!¡±

    ¡°Secrets about the Headless Horseman that 99% of you don¡¯t know!¡±

    ¡°The top 10 crimes of the Headless Horseman! All the cats who have seen them cried.¡±

    Looking at the ID scolding the Headless Horseman, Doll couldn¡¯t help butugh. All these posts were posted by the Inte Water Army that he had created. There were IDs in charge of scolding, impersonating haters, posting fake information, and some pretended to be upset fans.

    All of them were specially designed by Doll for the Headless Horseman.

    ¡°Humph, I will first spoil your name,¡± Doll thought to himself. ¡°When this ends, I will show Kun Wu these posts then she will not think of the Headless Horseman anymore.¡±

    Meanwhile, Kun Wu could feel a call from the void. She kept hearing the call and felt that her consciousness seemed to extend towards it.

    Then, her vision went dark and suddenly, there was a phone in front of her. There was a blue paw on the phone and the cat paw was strolling through the information.

    Kun Wu was shocked. ¡°This is... Project X¡¯s point of view. The information on the phone is...¡±

    She looked carefully at the phone and saw information on individual supercats.

    A cat¡¯s voice sounded. ¡°Boss, how is it?¡±

    Project X was looking through the information and said calmly.¡±These are the supercats files in the government records? All the main supercats aren¡¯t inside.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± The voice spoke again. ¡°The four Cat Kings in Jianghai: the Headless Horseman¡¯s cats, Ivory and w¡¯s cats were not recorded. It should be hidden in a more secretive system. I need technical assistance to get ahold of the information.¡±

    Project X nodded to acknowledge what he had just heard and said, ¡°With your powers, it is easy to get into any chamber. But you can do nothing about information inside aputer. It is okay; we can capture them and we will know what powers they have.¡±

    Upon seeing this, Kun Wu was worried. ¡°I knew it, he has started to capture the supercats here. The more supercats he captures, the worse the situation gets.¡±

    Coffee bowed and said, ¡°Boss, Sang Biao and ughter arete. Do I need to pick them up?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Project X answered causally. ¡°If they can¡¯t capture the target, it means that the target is strong. Then, I will go personally. You cane with me.¡±

    Then, a voice spoke again. ¡°Boss, ughter is back.¡±

    Project X smiled. ¡°Looks like the Cat King of the South is here.¡±

    To Kun Wu¡¯s astonishment, a cat that had a crystallized body walked up. The crystal was so clear that she could see the cat¡¯s organs.

    The crystallized supercat had a cat in his mouth. It was Fish Ball¡¯s girlfriend, the Cat Queen of the South, Li Li.

    Li Li¡¯s body was filled with burns and her fur was burnt ck. There was a scar on her head.

    The crystallized ughter put Li Li down and looked at Li Li, who had passed out. ¡°She was hard to deal with. Honestly, if we were by the beach, I would not have defeated her.¡±

    Project X looked at Li Li in admiration. ¡°The power to control water? Not bad.¡± Then, Li Li floated in front of Project X.

    Project X ced his paws on Li Li¡¯s head and muttered, ¡°Child, let me see your powers.¡±

    Li Li¡¯s eyes jerked opened and fear, confusion, resistance, and atst loss shed through her eyes.

    Project X withdrew his paw and Li Li fell to the ground. Li Li looked around panicked and ran out hobbling while she meowed.

    While Li Li ran off, neither Project X, ughter, or Coffee stopped her.

    Project X opened his mouth and a stream of water flew out, circling his body like an obedient snake.

    Project X was ying around with the power and said with satisfaction, ¡°What a good power.¡±

    Coffee and ughter bowed when they saw this.

    These supercats had awakened because of their powers and survived due to their powers. Project X, who could take away their powers was like God to them.

    Kun Wu, who was watching all of this got more frightened.

    ¡°A supercat... just got obliterated.¡± Kun Wu¡¯s body started trembling. ¡°If I am caught too, will I be obliterated like this too? Returning to my original form, without consciousness and intelligence...¡±

    When, Kun Wu thought of this, her fear grew even more. She was not afraid of death as she could be reborn from the mes.

    However, if she was deprived of her powers and intelligence... the thought of it sent chills down her bones.

    Then, Project X¡¯s voice sounded. ¡°It is you again? Who are you?¡±

    Kun Wu was shocked. ¡°He noticed me again?¡±

    Her vision started to be blurry and Project X¡¯s voice was getting dimmer and dimmer. When Kun Wu reacted again, Doll and dozens of monitors were in front of her.

    Doll went in front of Kun Wu¡¯s face and asked,¡±Kun Wu? Are you okay? You look like you are in a terrible state.¡±

    ¡°I am... fine.¡± Kun Wu paused and became agitated. ¡°Project X is ripping other supercats of their powers! He took away the Cat Queen of the South¡¯s powers and she turned back into an ordinary cat. She didn¡¯t even have her intelligence anymore!!¡±

    Doll was shocked. ¡°There is such a power?¡±

    Kun Wu shouted, ¡°Doll, we have to stop him. We need to stop him now. If he continues to grow, it will be doomsday for every living thing on Earth! We cannot give him the chance to attack. We have to kill him with one blow!¡±

    ¡°Rest assured!¡± Doll¡¯s body emitted countless signals. The robot cats army waiting in ambush started to get restless.

    Doll: ¡°Feline robots! Attack!¡±

    Then, hordes of nano feline robots attacked the warehouse. A huge explosion sounded from the warehouse but Kun Wu was still very uneasy.

    Doll said confidently, ¡°Humph, there are five thousand feline robots and on every robot there is enough gun power to destroy an entire street. Project X is sure to die!¡±

    On the screen, 5000 sma streams were sted towards the warehouse. The temperature was so high that the walls melted.

    The next moment, all the sma halted in mid air and gathered towards the center of the warehouse.

    Project X walked over slowly and the bundles of sma gathered together in his paw. It was like he was raising a small sun. It grew brighter and brighter, hotter and hotter.

    ¡°A strong electromaic field is detected!¡± Doll was horrified. ¡°Electromaic powers? This guy used his electromaic powers to restrain my sma! How is this possible? How did he do it?¡±

    Project X looked at the feline robots surrounding him. He smiled and pushed his paws. They sent all the sma back into the sky through the clouds before it exploded.

    Followed by a shock wave equivalent to a level eight typhoon, the clouds were spread out and countless people in Jianghai watch the fireball in astonishment. They looked at the fireball in the sky like it was a detonated nuclear bomb.

    Doll felt the fur on his back stand up. Then, the feline robots gave up on far ranged attacks and changed to weapons like saws, high frequency knives, and ws to attack Project X.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay. We have closebat.¡± Doll looked at the situation on the screen andforted herself while his fur dropped. ¡°The nano feline robots can¡¯t be trapped or killed. He is flesh and blood. We can exhaust him.¡±

    Project X looked at the overwhelming number of feline robots, smiled, and stretched out a paw in front of him.

    ¡°Speaking of this, I am missing some armor.¡± Then, countless nano feline robots disintegrated into silvery metal powder and converged towards Project X.

    ¡°Electromaic conversion...¡± Doll hugged his head and groaned, ¡°My feline robots are being controlled by him!¡±

    On the monitor, more and more nano metal powder converged towards Project X and formed silver armor. Kun Wu¡¯s fear had hit her peak.

    mes appeared behind Kun Wu and became a fiery tunnel.

    ¡°We have to leave,¡± Kun Wu said trembling. ¡°He can see me. I can feel it. He can see me! He wants to eat me?!¡±

    Then, Kun Wu grabbed onto Doll and escaped into the fiery tunnel.

    When Kun Wu stepped into the tunnel and as Doll was about to step inside, a ck tentacle reached out from Doll¡¯s shadows and grabbed Doll¡¯s waist.

    ¡°Is it that Shadow cat?¡± Kun Wu was surprised and then she reacted. ¡°He was here long ago! I am not the only one watching him. He is watching me too?¡±

    Before Doll could react, thebat program in his body was activated. His fingers flicked and they turned into sma ws as he grabbed the tentacles.

    When, Doll ripped apart one tentacle, more tentacles came out from the shadows. Doll was mummified instantly and dragged out.

    Doll¡¯s sma propulsion on his back was activated and his body propelled forward. Then, shadow des sliced across the propulsion which burst into mes and was destroyed.

    ¡°Doll!¡± Kun Wu stood in the tunnel and grabbed onto Doll¡¯s hand. ¡°Think of something!¡±

    Doll felt the shadow continuously destroying his body structure. He looked at Kun Wu and smiled. ¡°Run!¡±

    Then, Doll¡¯s arm broke apart and he pushed Kun Wu into the tunnel.

    ¡°Find the Headless Horseman!¡±

    Doll yelled in the darkness and Kun Wu appeared on a beach a dozen kilometers away. She looked at the sea in a daze.

    ¡°Wait, Doll¡¯s main program should not be in that mechanical cat. He should be fine.¡± Kun Wuforted herself and thought about it again. ¡°If we mainly rely on mechanical creatures, we will be too limited. Who knew that he would have electromaic powers and that he could wield them so well. If this carries on...¡±

    Kun Wu lifted her head and she looked towards the Jianghai district. ¡°Look for the Headless Horseman?¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, after sending away Kun Wu, Doll was engulfed in a dense shadow that could not be prated.

    A meow sounded from the shadows.

    ¡°Haha, trying to be a hero?¡±

    ¡°Do you think that by staying behind, she can escape? She will be caught sooner orter.¡±

    Dollughed coldly. ¡°You think too much. I stayed because I was afraid that when I kill you guys, it would hurt her identally.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re stubborn.¡±

    Then, countless shadows sliced past Doll¡¯s shadows. Every time Doll¡¯s shadows were attacked, Doll¡¯s mechanical body was left scarred and sparks flew.

    Doll: ¡°The power to attack shadows?¡± Then, Doll¡¯s electronic eyes glowed with red light and shot out two beams of light. It shone onto the shadows like a searchlight.

    Ahh! The shadow backed off while screaming and Doll charged towards the edge of the building.

    The light could only fight off the shadow momentarily. When, Doll turned his head, more shadows were on the ground chasing his shadows.

    When Shadow saw that Doll was at the edge of the building, he sneered, ¡°You have nowhere to hide.¡±

    Then, Doll jumped out from the ceiling and to Shadow¡¯s astonishment, silver shes sliced across the sky and flew onto Doll¡¯s body like an armor. Instantly, he was armed.

    Doll had be a two meter tall, metallic, feline robot. He aimed his paws towards the roof of the building, several holes opened up on his arms and shot out severalser beams that covered the entire rooftop.

    Everything on the roof was shattered immediately. The shadow was still wriggling. It did not look like it had received any damage.

    Doll was surprised. ¡°The supercat is not on the roof? Is he controlling from a distance? Or is he concealed as the shadow?¡± He shouted, ¡°Headless, scan the entire building for biological activities.¡±

    ¡°Yes, master.¡± Zhao Yao voice came out of Doll¡¯s metallic body. ¡°The building is XXX highschool¡¯s building. There is norge or medium sized biological activity inside.¡±

    ¡°Not inside?¡±

    Electron imaging, thermal imaging, sonar imaging and all the relevant information about the building poured into Doll¡¯s brain.

    Headless was a cat artificial intelligence created by Doll. It provided all kinds of long distance support for Doll.

    Doll did not do this work himself and had created this artificial intelligence because the artificial intelligence needed to be constantly connected to arge database. It had to do things like data exchange,manding all the production lines and mechanical forces and much more.

    All these task required an absolutely rational, objective, and emotionless artificial intelligence to bepleted.

    If Doll was to do this himself, he would have had to obliterate all the emotions in his main program. Furthermore, because he had feelings, being in contact with a massive amount of data would influence his character. He would be apathetic and regard himself too highly.

    To separate his work from himself, he created this cat artificial intelligence. The cat artificial intelligence helped himplete all sorts of work. All he had to do was just to control the cat artificial intelligence.

    As for why the cat artificial intelligence was called Headless, used the Headless Horseman¡¯s voice, and addressed Doll as Master, it was for a mysterious reason.

    On the roof, the shadow was distorted as thousands of ck des shot out from the shadows at Doll.

    ¡°Headless!¡±

    As Doll sent out the signal, in a split second, the cat artificial intelligence had already activated the Type I Dodging program. High speed particles were shot out from Doll¡¯s back and paws. He flew at high speed and dodged all the ck des.

    Headless: ¡°Although I am a useless cat artificial intelligence, I can dodge.¡±

    ¡°Shut up. Turn off the low self-esteem mode and add emotional algorithm into the learning n. The keyword is ttery.¡±

    ¡°Yes sir. I understand.¡±

    Doll let Headless control the mechanical cat for dodging, while he activated the 12 rocket artillery behind him. After confirming that there was no life in the building, he pointed his 12 rocket artillery at the 12 supporting points of the building.

    ¡°Since there is no life then either the shadow is controlled from a distance or that cat is in the shadows. Let¡¯s try physical istion first.¡±

    Then, the 12 rocket artillery was fired from Doll¡¯s back. The rockets had graceful trajectories as they hit the building in different locations.

    Bam! Bam! Bam!

    The entire building copsed and all the dust flew into the air.

    Looking at the ruins under his feet, Doll thought to himself, ¡°He wanted to capture me? He isn¡¯t that powerful anyways. If it was not for Project X¡¯s electromaic powers, I would have gotten rid of him myself.¡±

    Headless: ¡°Boss, your strike was so spectacr, breathtaking, bloody, water streaming...¡±

    ¡°Shut up,¡± Doll said out of exasperation. ¡°What are you talking about?¡±

    Headless: ¡°Boss, these are thepliments found on XX web posted by their users regarding firing a rocket artillery...¡±

    ¡°Pull the XX web into the ck list.¡± Doll answered and looked at the ruins of the building. Then, Headless¡¯ warnings rang.

    ¡°Boss, the police are here. Let¡¯s go.¡±

    The surveince footage of a cluster of police cars driving over shed across Doll¡¯s eyes.

    Then, when Doll¡¯s body was about to emit sma mes to leave.

    Whoosh! A beam of light shed across the sky and wrapped around Doll.

    Doll¡¯s body started to melt as soon as he was engulfed by the white light. The warnings from Headless rang repeatedly.

    ¡°Boss, we seemed to have met with a high-energyser beam. The exterior temperature is over 60 000 Degree Celsius. The percentage damage in the mechanical body is more than 15%...26%...37%...¡±

    Doll crashed down in mes and hit the ground, creating arge pit in the floor.

    Dark shadows came out from the surroundings and engulfed Doll, even though his body was smothering hot.

    ughter, who had shot down Doll with a high-energyser, smiled as he came over. ¡°That is not good, Shadow. Boss is unhappy you are unable to capture a small cat.¡±

    ¡°Humph, even if you didn¡¯te to help, he couldn¡¯t escape as I had attached to his shadow.¡±

    As the two cats were about to bicker, Project X, who was covered with ayer of white metal,nded with Coffee from the sky. The two cats immediately sprawled down on the ground with respect.

    Project X looked at the melted Doll and said, ¡°Bring him to the prison.¡±

    Coffee asked, ¡°What about Sang Biao?¡±

    ¡°Our activities here have attracted the attention of the humans.¡± Project X said. ¡°There are more cats over there. Once we finish our work, we will find Sang Biao.¡±

    They brought Doll¡¯s robot body with them and left the ruins.

    A few minutester, three police cars arrived at the ruins and the cops gaped at the scene.

    Uncle Ho and Lin Chen rushed to the ruined school at the earliest time.

    Uncle Ho¡¯s cell phone rang incessantly. He looked at it and hung up.

    Lin Chen was curious and asked, ¡°You didn¡¯t pick up the call from the secretary. Is there any problem?¡±

    ¡°If I pick up all my calls, I wouldn¡¯t be able to work.¡± Uncle Ho stepped on the ruins and said gravely, ¡°What¡¯s with blowing up the school? First, it was murder, kidnapping, mega explosion of fireworks and now, blowing up a school. Thank goodness it was at night, if it was daytime...¡±

    Uncle Ho was worried and asked, ¡°Are you able to find out who did it?¡±

    Lin Chen said, ¡°The surveince records were erased but an eyewitness said a group of robots did it.¡±

    ¡°Robots?¡± Uncle Ho was shocked, ¡°Give a call immediately to the surveince team. I want to know Doll¡¯s situation.¡±

    When the King of Death turned over a new leaf, he surrendered Doll to Uncle Ho.

    The King of Death was unaware that Kun Wu had rescued Doll before he handed over Doll¡¯s clone to the police.

    Uncle Ho¡¯s telephone rang again. As he was about to hang up the phone, he hesitated as it was a call from Zhao Yao.

    After thinking for a while, he picked up the phone.

    ¡°Hello? Zhao Yao? I am sure you are aware how busy we are tonight? If there are no matters of importance, I am hanging up.¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed and said, ¡°Yes, I know.¡± He had just witnessed the huge explosion in the sky. ¡°I think I know who is the culprit.¡±

    Uncle Ho¡¯s eye glinted. ¡°Who is he?¡±

    Zhao Yao exined intelligence of Project X and his team to Uncle Ho, who was shocked and replied, ¡°The same group of cats that created trouble in the United States? They have arrived in China?¡±

    Zhao Yao reminded Uncle Ho, ¡°Uncle Ho, he has a special ability to leech superpowers. Take good care of your supercats.¡±

    ¡°I understand.¡± Uncle Ho said. ¡°All the supercats are under our protection...¡±

    ¡°I am hanging up,¡± Zhao Yao said. ¡°Let¡¯s inform each other if there are new developments.¡±

    Lin Chen¡¯s cell phone rang. Momentster he shouted to Uncle Ho, ¡°Uncle Ho, Li Li is in trouble.¡±

    Uncle Ho said, ¡°What? What happened?¡±

    ¡°The Cat King of the North couldn¡¯t contact Li Li so he used GPS to locate her.¡± Lin Chen said grimly, ¡°Li Li lost her superpowers and her intelligence...¡±

    ¡°... She became an ordinary cat.¡±

    ¡°We are getting into serious trouble...¡± Uncle Ho was stunned as he recalled his conversation with Zhao Yao. His face turned gravely pale as he said, ¡°Seal all news. Get all personnel on standby within half an hour, including those on leave. Inform the Cat King of the North to gather together so that they will not be picked out one by one.¡±

    ¡°Yes, there is Zhao Yao too...¡± Uncle Ho said as he took out his cell phone to text histest intelligence.

    Suddenly, Uncle Ho¡¯s eyes widened and he eximed, ¡°Yes, the supernatural prison!!¡± He shouted at Lin Chen, ¡°Get everyone to reinforce the supernatural prison! S*it! Do you have Cat King of the West¡¯s cell phone number? Call him!¡±

    ...

    The basement of the supernatural prison.

    The Cat King of the West was bored as he looked at theputer screen and said, ¡°What¡¯s with Lizzie today? She is not live streaming today. Is she putting on airs after getting rich?¡±

    He opened WeChat, entered a secret group and texted, ¡°Hey, any new Lizzie video?¡±

    A cat replied, ¡°Don¡¯t ask that. The group administrator is not avable today.¡±

    ¡°D*mn.¡± The Cat King of the Westid on the floor and directly texted Lizzie, ¡°Lizzie, what¡¯s happened? Why are you not live streaming today?¡±

    The Cat King of the West waited for a long time but there were no replies.

    As the Cat King of the West was feeling depressed, the prison quaked and shook. Then all became quiet.

    ¡°An earthquake in Jianghai?¡± The Cat King of the West tilted his head when the phone rang.

    ¡°Hello?¡± The Cat King of the West typed the words on the cell phone and it said, ¡°Lin Chen? Don¡¯t try to persuade me. I am not ying Justice Online. It is hurting my health.¡±

    Noises came out from the cell phone and Uncle Ho spoke, ¡°The Cat King of the West! Are there any problems at the prison?¡±

    ¡°Everything¡¯s fine.¡± The Cat King of the West smiled merrily and said, ¡°It¡¯s excellent.¡±

    Uncle Ho heaved in relief and said, ¡°Be careful, a group of supercats are...ing... Li Li... captured... Be very careful...¡±

    ¡°Hello?¡± The Cat King of the West furrowed his brows and said, ¡°Is the signal bad?¡± The room¡¯s light shed and the entire prison went into darkness.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± The Cat King of the West looked bewilderedly at his cellphone. Not only was there a ckout, his cellphone signal went dead.

    ¡°What did Uncle Ho say just now?¡± The Cat King of the West tilted his head and walked towards the door. ¡°Forget it. I¡¯ll get someone to fix the signal.¡±

    Behind the Cat King of the West, a tentacle came out from his shadows and edged carefully towards him.

    ...

    Zhao Yao looked at the text by Uncle Ho and frowned, ¡°Project X is going around capturing all the supercats?¡±

    He looked at Cat Wondend which was full of deadly traps. There were seals of illusion, Dimension Portals, poisoned artifacts, Mango and Lightning¡¯s fur, in addition to Matcha, Roly Poly and other supercats¡¯ ambush.

    He had the highest chance of sess at this ce.

    If Project X umted a lot more powerful supercats before confronting him, then it might not be advantageous for him.

    ¡°If the battle is dyed until tomorrow, I can upgrade my superpowers, however, Project X can steal more superpowers.¡±

    Waiting in ambush at the Cat Wondend improved his chances of defeating Project.

    But no one was able to stop Project X from capturing more supercats.

    Zhao Yao squeezed his chin as he pondered his dilemma. ¡°Should I take initiative to attack or continue to wait in ambush?¡±

    ¡°He has the time to capture supercats while he is dealing with me. He is pretty arrogant.¡±

    While Zhao Yao was hesitating, Uncle Ho called.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, assist the supernatural prison immediately!¡± Uncle Ho said nervously. ¡°Project X has brought cats tounch an attack on the prison. We have lost contact with the prison. I have sent arge number of soldiers over, however, they are no match for Project X. We need your powers.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Zhao Yao nodded. ¡°I will be there. However, Project X is very strong. I need some time to prepare. Try and dy him until I get there.¡±

    After he hung up, Zhao Yao sighed, ¡°I can¡¯t let him do whatever he likes. Then, I shall have to...¡±

    After half an hour, Zhao Yao was wearing the Cheese Cloak and Elizabeth Scarf. On his waist was: Ares Sword and Rice Cake de. He had Roly Poly on his shoulder, wore the Paralysis Ring on his hand, and had Dust Ball controlling the Dimension Portal behind him.

    Zhao Yao was fully armed for this battle.

    ¡°And...¡± Zhao Yao pressed his palms together. ¡°Divine Mode!!¡±

    Roly Poly and Sheriff jumped onto Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulders together. They were on his left and right shoulders respectively.

    Zhao Yao nodded satisfyingly. ¡°In Divine Mode, I can be invisible and read my opponent¡¯s mind. In a superpower battle, this is the best way to retrieve intel.¡±

    Beside him, Bai Quan had borrowed Lucifer¡¯s powers so he had extraordinary physical abilities and was almost an immortal warrior.

    Matcha, Sphynx cat, Old Cat, Cat Sage, Uncle Egg, F¨±jin, Catherine and the other supercats were all sitting on the floor solemnly.

    All the cats participating in the fight were in the Cat Wondend, except for Roly Poly and Sheriff who were on Zhao Yao. All the cats who weren¡¯t participating in the fight were ced on the Cat Ind.

    Matcha was chatting privately with the other cats. ¡°It is finally time for me to showcase my abilities. When I meet Project X, there is no need to talk about morals. We can just surround him and hit him until he calls us daddy.¡±

    The cats rolled their eyes and Roly Poly, who was on Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulders sneered. ¡°Matcha, I shall help you tell Zhao Yao that you want to be the first to go up. We will cover you from the back.¡±

    Matcha shook his head in disdain. ¡°You don¡¯t have to add that. Even if I do not do anything, I am also the most important. After all, my powers are Time Freeze. It is the most important part of the n. Without me, all of you will die.¡±

    Roly Poly nced at Matcha scornfully, however, he was filled with jealousy. ¡°He is getting more and more shameless. Damn it. Why can¡¯t my powers be stronger! I am so jealous!¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Matcha. ¡°Matcha, go back to Cat Ind.¡±

    ¡°What?!¡± Matcha was angry. ¡°Why! Aren¡¯t I one of your main strengths?!¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°ording to Sang Biao¡¯s Intel, Project X can rob other supercats of their powers. After taking their powers, the cat who loses the powers will be an idiot. He still does not have the ability to Freeze Time. If you go there and you are so weak, aren¡¯t you giving him new powers?¡±

    He saw the surrounding supercats look at him and he felt that these supercats wereughing at him. He shouted in embarrassment. ¡°Zhao Yao! Don¡¯t look down on cats! I have brought my equipment!¡± Then, he pulled out his bag and dropped it onto the floor.

    The things in the bag fell out, there were all sorts of scissors, daggers, nail clippers, hammers and a few suspicious hairs.

    Matcha said sorrowfully. ¡°After I activate Time Freeze, I can use weapons and attack too! I am very powerful!¡±

    Zhao Yao exined,¡± Project X has the power of regeneration, metallic body and other elemental defense powers. These things are capable of dealing with ordinary people but it is too risky to do the same with him.¡±

    Matcha was angry and pointed at Fish Ball. ¡°Then why can he participate? He is useless!¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°ording to the Intel from Sang Biao, Project X has a Shadow cat. He can control shadows and attack shadows. Fish Ball¡¯s light can restrain him and he can be used as a sh bomb.¡±

    Fish Ball was smiling and his forehead was shining with the word ¡°genius¡± as he looked at Matcha proudly.

    Matcha was so angry, but he could not rebut. He clenched his teeth and pointed at Noodle. ¡°Then, why can the dog go? He doesn¡¯t even have powers. He is useless!¡±

    Before Zhao Yao could exin, Noodle stood out and mmed his paws on the floor. Apanied by a loud explosion, the tiles were shattered and a small pit was formed.

    Noodle shook his paw at Matcha. ¡°Obviously, I am not useless.¡±

    Matcha hugged his head and shook it unbelievably. ¡°How can this be? How did a dog be so powerful? God! Did you suck too much catmint?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Noodle¡¯s physical abilities are very strong, he is just a bit weaker than Zhao Xue. He may even be stronger than me. Furthermore, he is a dog. He can be kept as a surprise. Now, do you understand? You are the only one here that is unsuitable for going to battle.¡±

    Matcha looked at Zhao Yao pitifully and talked to him privately. ¡°Zhao Yao! There are so many cats watching, can you save me some face? You can agree for me to participate on the surface but I will just stay behind and watch. Can I? If I go back to the Cat Ind alone, it is so embarrassing.¡±

    Matcha thought to himself. ¡®Milk Tea is on the Cat Ind too. If I let him see me going back, how can I continue to act like a big brother in front of him?¡±

    ¡°This fellow, normally it is so hard for him to do a mission, why is he so enthusiastic this time?¡± Zhao Yao looked at him and pulled out a Spicy Cat Strip. ¡°If you want to stay, you have to eat this and be a brick. Then, I will bring you.¡±

    Matcha frowned. He did not want to be a brick. ¡°Is there any other way?¡±

    Zhao Yao pointed to Noodle. ¡°Noodle, show him how you be stronger.¡±

    Noodleughed and took out a bottle from his bag. It was a smaller version of Sang Biao as a used toilet paper.

    Sang Biao. ¡°Let me out! This dog is a pervert! He is crazy!¡±

    Then, in all the cat¡¯s shock and disgust, Noodle licked Sang Biao and showed Matcha his teeth. ¡°Matcha! Come lick it. You will obtain strong powers after this. Do you want to try?¡±

    Zhao Yao said.¡±It¡¯s either you eat the Spicy Cat Strip or lick Sang Biao. Choose.¡±

    Matcha ran to Zhao Yao and jumped up to bite the Spicy Cat Strip. ¡°Okay, I will turn into a brick.¡±

    After solving Matcha¡¯s problem, Zhao Yao looked at his phone and said, ¡°Bai Quan, take them with you and get ready to ambush. I will bring the cat there and you guys will act ording to the n. Attack with full force.¡±

    Bai Quan nodded. ¡°Okay Boss. But Zhao Xue...¡±

    Zhao Yao was confused. ¡°What about her?¡±

    Zhao Xue pushed open the office door and asked with dissatisfaction, ¡°You dare ask? Why did you seal the Extradimensional Belly and what is with the Cat Wondend? Are you guys hiding something from me?¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed. Although Zhao Xue had strongbat powers, as his sister, Zhao Yao did not wish for her to go onto the battlefield. Especially when his opponent was the unfathomable Project X.

    Since Zhao Xue had noticed and was inside the Cat Wondend, Zhao Yao had to exin everything to her.

    Zhao Xue said, ¡°I want to join. Project X is very dangerous right? You guys don¡¯t even know his full capabilities and the n may not be sessful. My physical capabilities are about the same as Bai Quan¡¯s. If you are afraid that I will be in danger, you can lend me Lucifer¡¯s powers.¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned and pondered for a while. He nodded his head reluctantly. ¡°Okay, I will ask Lucifer to lend you his powers. But, you still have to be careful. If you¡¯re in danger, you have to save yourself.¡±

    Zhao Xueughed, ¡°Okay, I know. Don¡¯t worry.¡±

    Then, Zhao Yao flew to the sky with Cheese¡¯s Cloak and arrived at the prison with supersonic speed.

    He looked at the chaotic prison and made himself invisible. Then, Zhao Yao called Uncle Ho to inform him that he had arrived.

    After contacting him, Zhao Yao charged into the prison while staying invisible.

    ...

    Just when Zhao Yao left, Kun Wu¡¯s head stuck out from the corner of the street and looked at the Cat Wondend.

    ¡°Even if we do not join the Headless Horseman, I at least have to get the news to him,¡± Kun Wu thought to herself¡±. ¡°Maybe he doesn¡¯t know much about Project X yet. If he is defeated too...¡±

    She recalled all the powerful supercats Headless Horseman owned. If theynded in Project X¡¯s hands... Kun Wu shuddered.

    ¡°But, how should I inform him?¡± Kun Wu looked at a photo of Cat Wondend. ¡°I heard that Cat Wondend was opened by the Headless Horseman. I just don¡¯t know if he is there now.¡±

    Then, she saw a girl stomp towards the door of the Cat Wondend.

    Xiaoyu was mming on the doors. ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! Get out!¡±

    Zhao Xue opened the door and asked, ¡°Aunt Xiaoyu, why are you here? We are not open today.¡±

    Xiaoyu was angry. ¡°Who is here to y? Zhao Yao brought Noodle and Fish Ball here to entertain guests, now they have both picked up bad habits! Noodle is eating poop everyday and Fish Ball has attracted all the female cats in the area so that theye look for him everyday. There has been dozens of cats peeing in front of my door!¡±

    Zhao Xue was stunned and said awkwardly, ¡°My brother isn¡¯t in today. Can youe look for him tomorrow?¡±

    Xiaoyu said angrily, ¡°I havee here several times to look for him! Every time, he isn¡¯t here! If he dares to do it, why doesn¡¯t he dare own up to it! I tell you, if Zhao Yao does not give me an exnation today, I will report you guys!¡±

    Zhao Xue could not let Xiaoyue in and after muchforting, she finally convinced Xiaoyu to go. Zhao Xue heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Aye, looks like we can¡¯t let Fish Ball and Noodle work here anymore.¡±

    However, Xiaoyu did not give up so easily. She left and turn into spirit form, disappearing into the air.

    ¡°Nekomata! Let¡¯s go!¡± Xiaoyu said angrily. ¡°I have to speak to Zhao Yao face to face. This is too much. How can he give Noodle and Fish Ball so little pay.¡±

    ¡°Why are there screams at night on Cat Street? Why did the cats from the countryside suddenly get rich? Why can you hear huskies groan in the toilet at night? Are all these behaviors twisted cat nature or corrupted human nature?¡± Nekomata was typing on his phone as he floated behind Xiaoyu. ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, we will now sneak into the most famous gold vault in Jianghai and unveil its mystery.¡±

    ¡°And all of this will be shot secretly. For those of you who support UP, make sure you subscribe.¡±

    ...

    In the supernatural prison, all the cell doors were opened.

    All the cats looked out of their cell curiously and started escaping towards the door.

    However, when they reached outside, there was a transparent cat sitting there looking proudly at them.

    ughter said, ¡°If you all don¡¯t want to die, stay where you are.¡±

    None the cats that were held prisoner in the jail were timid cats. They were the most fierce and cruel.

    After hearing ughter, none of them bothered to obey. There were even supercats who shot out lightning bolts at ughter.

    Then, they found themselves floating.

    Coffee pointed to the sky and told all the supercats who were now floating, ¡°Everyone, will you guys please keep quiet?¡±

    When he saw that the cats with flying powers were trying to escape, he sighed and increased the force of gravity weighing on them. All of them crashed towards the floor.

    ughter pointed at the sky and a thick light bolt shed across the sky. The high temperature made the atmosphere bend.

    All the cats quieted down when they saw theser cannon.

    Outside the prison, there were countless spirits floating around. From time to time, screams and gunshots could be heard. It was Momo using spirits to hold back the official apostles who hade to handle the situation.

    Coffee frowned. ¡°ughter, go and back Momo up. She is no match for the apostles. I can handle this alone.¡±

    ughterughed cruelly at the cats who were floating and dragged them onto the floor with gravity. He said, ¡°I can see you guys from outside. If anyone escapes, you will be shot by me.¡±

    The supercats were trembling. This was worse than being in prison.

    When Zhao Yao arrived at the prison, he saw Coffee suppressing hundreds of cats.

    Zhao Yao looked around and realized that the Cat King of the West was not there.

    ¡°Unless he is still inside?¡± Zhao Yao thought. ¡°Should I use this opportunity to get rid of the gravity cat or save Cat King of the West? No, I have to save Cat King of the West first. His powers are transmitting his own behavior and preference. If Project X gets hold of this power, it will be troublesome.¡±

    When Zhao Yao was contemting his options, he saw a bald cat running out from the shadows. The cat looked frightened and behind him was a shadow spike charging towards his shadow under his feet.

    ¡°It is the Cat King of the West!¡± He activated the Deflective Field and grabbed the Cat King of the West.

    At the same time, he asked Roly Poly to make the Cat King of the West invisible.

    Shadow stopped when the Cat King of the West disappeared. He looked around hesitatingly.

    Coffee, who was in a distance, frowned and shouted, ¡°Be careful. It may be some kind of invisible power. ¡± Then, he started sniffing around trying to find the hidden supercat.

    Zhao Yao held onto the Cat King of the West and talked to him privately. ¡°Hey, where¡¯s Project X? How many powers have he gotten from the prison?¡±

    However, the Cat King of the West was struggling in Zhao Yao¡¯s arms. He kept kicking, looked frightened, and wanted to scream.

    Zhao Yao covered Cat King of the West¡¯s mouth to stop him from screaming. ¡°Have his powers already been taken?¡±

    Roly Poly and Sheriff looked at Cat King of the West¡¯s regressed state and were in anguish.

    Losing their intelligence and regressing back to an ignorant and clueless state was what the supercats were most afraid of.

    Zhao Yao tried to confirm what had happened. ¡°What is he thinking?¡±

    ¡°Scared, escape and pain...¡± Sheriff was upset. ¡°He is like any other stray cat. He no longer has any intelligence.¡±

    ¡°Is he?¡± He looked at the Cat King of the West, who was trembling, and threw him into the Dimension Portal. Dust Ball would transfer the Cat King of the West to Cat Ind.

    For the first time, Roly Poly was angered and asked ,¡±Zhao Yao? Are we going to attack?¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head. ¡°We wait for Project X.¡± He took a step back, retreated into the Extradimensional Belly, and watched the situation in the prison from the Dimension Portal.

    Then, countless shadows poured down like a waterfall and searched every inch. They were trying to find the Cat King of the West who had disappeared.

    Meanwhile, Coffee was distorting gravity onrge tracts ofnd. Countless furniture, windows, and walls were crushed. He was looking for the Cat King of the West too.

    If Zhao Yao wasn¡¯t in the Dimension Portal, he would have been discovered.

    Coffee frowned. ¡°He already escaped?¡±

    Then, the ground shook and a crack that was about ten meters long appeared on the floor. Project X, who was covered in silvery-white floated out from it. Doll was floating behind him, all broken.

    When Coffee and Shadow cat saw Project X, they prostrated themselves on the ground and Shadow cat said, frightened by Project X. ¡°Boss, the Cat King of the West escaped.¡±

    Cat King of the West had lost his powers and was turned back into a normal cat. However, he still wanted to hunt the Cat King of the West down for fun. Who knew that there was a cat in the prison with powers to avoid him and Coffee and rescue the Cat King of the West?

    ¡°Without me, he would always have been an ordinary cat.¡± Project X answered causally. ¡°Who would be afraid of an ordinary cat?¡±

    When Shadow heaved a sigh of relief, he heard Project X say, ¡°But, I asked you to catch him and you can¡¯t even capture an ordinary cat?¡±

    A ck cat walked out from the shadows and fell to the floor trembling. ¡°Boss, I didn¡¯t expect that there would be a supercat not under our control in the prison. Coffee and I have searched the entire area, it is not simply invisiblity powers!¡±

    ¡°Is it not?¡± Project X looked at Coffee.

    When the three cats were talking, Zhao Yao was ready to attack.

    ¡°Sheriff, read their minds. This is Project X right?¡±

    ¡°Yes, ording to their reactions, this guy is Project X.¡±

    ¡°Okay... start...¡±

    Time froze and the clouds in the sky stood still. Every cat in the prison turned into a silent statue.

    In this absolute silence, Zhao Yao charged out from the Dimension Portal and with the help of Cheese Cloak, he dashed behind Project X. He wielded Rice Cake de and shed Project X harshly.

    ¡°Go and die!¡±

    Project X was too dangerous, when Zhao Yao didn¡¯t know what kind of powers the opponent had, his first step was always to kill the opponent directly.

    However, when the de was about to touch Project X, a strong malicious force swept across him.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s senses were improved by the five cats, especially in the absolutely still world. The sudden malice was too obvious. It came as a shock to Zhao Yao.

    In his disbelief, all the possible scenarios shed past his mind.

    ¡°His mind is still active?¡±

    Without any hesitation, Zhao Yao dodged and retreated with supersonic speed with Cheese Cloak.

    In that instant, the silvery white metal on Project X had turned into a long spike jabbing where Zhao Yao was standing.

    If Zhao Yao had struck, Project X would have been cut into two but the spike would have gone through Zhao Yao¡¯s body. While Zhao Yao was still unsure if Project X would die from being cut into two, he was unwilling to be pierced through by the spike.

    He retreated several meters and stared at Project X. His brain was in chaos. ¡°How could it be? He can Time Freeze too?¡±

    However, while Zhao Yao was staring at Project X, he realized that after the attack, Project X had returned to being a statue. He was immobilized and did not look like he had the power to Time Freeze.

    Even the metal spike that had shot out was frozen in mid air, like any other object in Time Freeze.

    ¡°What is going on? Why could he attack me just now?¡± Zhao Yao started thinking. ¡°I am sure that this guy attacked me. Why? How could he have done it?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes narrowed and he cut out a piece of stone from the floor. ¡°Let¡¯s try it. Anyways we still have time.¡±

    ...

    While Zhao Yao was in the prison, a few thousand miles away in Southeast Asia.

    In an underground basement, there were manyputers ced in a circle. Doll was lying in a metal coffin in its center. There were thousands of wires connected to his body.

    In his vision, Project X¡¯s back was flickering.

    ¡°He seems to be very unfamiliar withputers, software, and the inte,¡± Doll rubbed his chin and thought. ¡°After failing to obtain my powers, he brought my mechanical body around with him. Does he want to study it?¡±

    ¡°However, if he can use an electromaic field to control my robots and sma that means that this guy knows physics. Unless he never learned about the inte andputers?¡±

    Doll was pondering and kept watch on what was happening to his mechanical body. ¡°Since they are busy capturing supercats, he does not have enough time to do anything to my mechanical body. I shall it use for surveince.¡±

    Then, Doll send out a signal. ¡°Headless!¡±

    ¡°Yes! Boss!¡±

    ¡°How many carbon nanotubes are there left in store? I need to use them to create a new body...¡±

    ¡°Boss you are so smart, you want to change materials to ovee the electromaic power?¡± Headless answered. ¡°However, judging by the strength of his electromaic field, normal weapons will be useless. It is best to install a anti-maic engine.¡±

    ¡°I know.¡± There were countless high speed cables running and million of blueprints shing. Doll said, ¡°I am designing a new armor. Help me prepare the relevant materials.¡±

    Headless reminded him, ¡°We only have enough carbon nanotubes for one armor.¡±

    ¡°It is enough.¡±

    Doll added. ¡°And, help me find Kun Wu. It is best if you can contact her... I have intel for her.¡± His vision fell onto the surveince monitor and Project X¡¯s back was seen in it.

    ¡°Project X... Is not easy to deal with.¡±

    ¡°We were too naive to think we could deal with him in one fight.¡±

    ...

    In the frozen world, Zhao Yao was staring at Project X and he threw a stone at Project X.

    He saw the stone hit Project X¡¯s head, shattered into pieces, then froze in the air.

    ¡°No reaction?¡± Zhao Yao thought. ¡°Was the attack just now a sort of reaction that can break through the restraints of time? Or is he pretending?¡±

    Zhao Yao also could no longer feel the sudden malice.

    He narrowed his eyes and looked at the Paralysis Ring on his finger. ¡°If he really can move under Time Freeze conditions then he will be attracted to the Paralysis Ring.¡±

    In Time Freeze, Zhao Yao could still use all his equipment.

    However, Time Freeze was of higher priority than Paralysis Ring so under Time Freeze the target could not react to the Paralysis Ring. Therefore, Zhao Yao thought of this test. If Project X was pretending to be frozen, he would be attracted to the Paralysis Ring.

    Zhao Yao raised his hand and pointed it to the ground in front of Project X.

    The red light lit up and the paralysis sound traveled constantly into Zhao Yao¡¯s ears. Zhao Yao stared at Project X warily and Project X remained immobilized, like the Paralysis Ring was ineffective against him.

    ¡°No effect? So he subject to Time Freeze?¡± Although he had not understood why Project X could attack, Zhao Yao decided to try again.

    Then, he flew in front of Project X and shed the Murasama de towards his head.

    He felt the strong malice again. It made all his hair stand.

    Project X¡¯s gaze swept across the dimension and saw the guy in ck attacking him. He was shocked. ¡°There are supercats on this that can control time?¡±

    Zhao Yao retreated again. His original position was pierced with metal spikes again. If he was slower, he would have been pierced through. Furthermore, he felt a strong disruptive field and he fell to the ground.

    Zhao Yao was not thinking of this. He kept searching for a reason and suddenly he thought of it.

    ¡°Distance!¡± Zhao Yao thought. ¡°This guy can reciprocate supercat¡¯s or apostle¡¯s powers within a certain distance? So if I approach him, he can move again. If I maintain a certain distance away from him, he will be still again.¡±

    ¡°If distance is the key, then under Time Freeze, I have to attack at a far range.¡±

    ¡°If it is far ranged attack...¡±

    Now, Zhao Yao was fighting in Time Freeze and the only attacks he could cast was through his equipment and Ares Sword.

    The Murasama de did not have long ranged attacks, if he threw the de, he was not confident of killing Project in one throw.

    ¡°Unless I use the Cat Princess Dress.¡± Zhao Yao was calcting. ¡°But, there is a time limit to the Cat Princess Dress. Each time I activate it, I need five diamonds. Because of Nanako¡¯s intel, I have been saving up diamonds but I only have 12 of them. I only can use it twice. Should I use it now?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought about it and decided to use it. After all he had just figured out how dangerous Project X¡¯s powers were. He could not defeat him only with Time Freeze.

    Hence, Zhao Yao was covered in a bright sh as he redeemed the Cat Princess Dress. He activated the Deflective Field and with some silver shes, the Murasama de had shed through Project X¡¯s body with the help of the Deflective Field.

    Zhao Yao walked into the Extradimensional Belly and threw Dust Ball, Roly Poly, and Sheriff through the Dimension Portal into Cat Wondend.

    Then, he used the Murasama de to slice across Coffee and Shadow.

    He was stunned when he saw the broken robot but he still sliced it apart.

    After doing all of this, Zhao Yao stood far away and threw the three cats and the robot that was cut into the Extradimensional Belly.

    ¡°Then, I shall change it to...¡±

    Zhao Yao changed his powers from Time Freeze + Deflective Field to Time Freeze + Extradimensional Belly.

    He looked at the three cats and the robot who was in Extradimensional Belly and activated ten times the gravity. He closed the Dimension Portal going to the Cat Wondend and closed all the Dimension Portal.

    After returning to the Extradimensional Belly and closing the Dimension Portals, he only had seven seconds left.

    Zhao Yao thought to himself. ¡°It should be fine now right? If not I have to activate the next n.¡±

    To deal with Project X, Zhao Yao had a series of detailed ns. The first was to activate Time Freeze, deal a fatal damage then throw him into the Extradimensional Belly.

    As long as Project X is controlled in the Extradimensional Belly, then Zhao Yao would go to Cat Wondend and asked the cats and people ambushed in the Cat Wondend to attack the Extradimensional Belly.

    ¡°It has ended.¡±

    He stopped the Time Freeze.

    When time flowed again, Coffee and Shadow felt a tremendous pain in their bodies and their vision was covered in blood as their mind went nk.

    Before they died, they saw each other cut into pieces and the silvery Project X.

    ¡°Did I seed?¡± Zhao Yao was excited. He opened the five one way Dimension Portals in the Cat Wondend and shouted, ¡°Attack! Attack at your full force!¡±

    All the cats were attacking in the direction of the Dimension Portal. Sphynx cat, Bai Quan and Zhao Xue had their steel javelins ready and shot them towards the Dimension Portal.

    That moment, the cats, who were already in pieces, were engulfed by the numerous attacks. They were in a situation where they could only be attacked and could not attack back.

    Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Did I seed? In such disadvantaged situation, even I would die.¡±

    ...

    When time started flowing again, for the prison cats, it was a blur and Project X, Coffee, and Shadow had disappeared.

    Before they could figure out what had happened, the shadow of where Project X was standing, started distorting.

    The shadow was under Project X¡¯s feet. When, Zhao Yao had moved Project X, the shadow did not move. It was normal to Zhao Yao as in Time Freeze, many things do not obey thews of physics.

    However, when time started flowing again, the shadow did not disappear. In fact, it started wiggling, then a cat crawled out from the shadows. It was the blue Project X.

    Project X smiled cruelly and thought. ¡°Are those Time Freeze powers? Looks like my metallic fake body has been destroyed. But... I have caught you too.¡±

    Project X had been hiding in the metallic body¡¯s shadows with his shadow powers. He manipted the fake body from the shadows.

    With his powers, why would he need a metal armor?

    Now that he had left his shadow form, he looked towards Cat Wondend.

    ¡°Now, it is my turn to ambush.¡±

    The upper hand was with Project X now.

    As Project X emerged from the shadows, all the prison cats wanted to take this chance and escape. The noise from the fight was getting closer. It was apparent that Momo could no longer stop the official apostles.

    Project X smiled and spoke softly, ¡°Look at me...¡±

    As he activated his gravitational ability, all the supercats were forced to look at Project X. When the cats made eye contact, the hypnosis powers were activated and they fell into a daze.

    ¡°Prepare for war...¡± Project X¡¯s melodious voice rang through their minds. ¡°Do not be afraid. Do not fear. I have granted you with eternal life...¡±

    All the supercats¡¯ eyes starting glowing with fanaticism and the thirst for blood.

    When Project X saw this, he smiled and sank back into the shadows.

    Soon, there was a loud explosion from the supernatural prison. All the supercats rushed out and fought with the official apostles.

    ...

    Meanwhile in Cat Wondend, Zhao Yao and the cats were attacking the Dimension Portal like crazy.

    After a period of time, they finally stopped and all the supercats looked at the other side of the Dimension Portal curiously.

    ¡°Is he dead? Is he?¡± The brick in Zhao Yao pocket was screaming.

    Roly Poly said at the side. ¡°Stop screaming. We are observing. However, he is so far. We can¡¯t see properly. Does anyone want to go in and check if he is dead?¡±

    After Roly Poly spoke, all the cats turned and looked at him.

    Zhao Yao stroked Roly Poly¡¯s head and said, ¡°Roly Poly, you gave a brilliant suggestion. Why not you go in and check if they are dead?¡±

    ¡°What!¡± Roly Poly cursed in his heart and fell to the ground unconscious.

    Zhao Yao tugged the corners of his mouth. ¡°Acting dead? I knew you were unreliable. Lucifer go and check it out.¡±

    Roly Poly sat up again. ¡°It¡¯s so strange. I suddenly felt dizzy just now. Looks like I have been eating too little. My sugar level is low.¡±

    Lucifer said excitedly, ¡°You guys can¡¯t do this to me! You guys are forcing me to give my life away! I will die! Hahaha¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and kicked Lucifer in. Lucifer flew into the Dimension Portal and fell beside Coffee.

    All the cats squeezed their heads to look into the Dimension Portal. The brick in Zhao Yao¡¯s pocket shouted, ¡°What just happened? Is Roly Poly dead?¡±

    No one bothered to reply to Matcha. All of them were staring at the Extradimensional Belly and they saw Lucifer crawl up, took a look at Coffee and he screamed. Then, Lucifer fell to the floor.

    ¡°Seriously?¡± Zhao Yao was in disbelief. ¡°He passed out from fear? Really?¡±

    Elizabeth said, ¡°It may be real. The cats have been bombarded into pieces. It¡¯s too gory.¡±

    ¡°Then let¡¯s wake him up.¡± Zhao Yao thought about it and activated the illusion.

    Lucifer stood up instantly and answered, ¡°Stop it. I am a cat. I don¡¯t eat poop.¡± He walked in front of Coffee and looked carefully. ¡°He should be dead?¡±

    Then, he looked at ughter and Shadow. ¡°They should be dead too.¡±

    When he walked in front of Doll, he said out of bewilderment, ¡°This is a robot? But he looks damaged.¡±

    When he walked in front of Project X, he was confused and went through the pieces of metal in the floor. He asked, ¡°There is some problem. Why are there only metal pieces?¡±

    Zhao Yao changed his powers to Time Freeze and walked into the Extradimensional Belly.

    Since the other cats were confirmed dead, he walked behind Lucifer and looked at Project X in bewilderment.

    The pieces of Project X on the floor were corroded, burnt, and broken. It was obvious that these were pieces of pure metal, there were no signs of flesh and blood.

    ¡°What? Why?¡± Zhao Yao grabbed the metal pieces and used Rice Cake de to cut them open. They were still metal and not flesh and blood.

    Lucifer suggested, ¡°Maybe he turned himself into a metal with some kind of metallic powers.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head. ¡°But don¡¯t you think that it is weird? In this metal form, he would just be a statue. If he really was in this form, he would not be able to move. Furthermore, if he is dead, why haven¡¯t the powers deactivated?¡±

    ¡°Maybe it is the unique part of his powers.¡± Lucifer said, ¡°Afterall, who can be certain about powers?¡±

    The brick in Zhao Yao¡¯s pocket was unsatisfied. ¡°What is going on? Let me see! It is so dark here. I can¡¯t see anything!¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned and felt that something was amiss. ¡°Let¡¯s temporarily close the Extradimensional Belly. No person or cat is allowed into the Extradimensional Belly.¡±

    After making this decision, Zhao Yao left the Extradimensional Belly and returned to the Cat Wondend. He received a phone call from Uncle Ho.

    ¡°Zhao Yao! There is a riot in the supernatural prison! A group of supercats broke out and they areing in your direction. They may being for Cat Wondend.¡±

    Uncle Ho said, ¡°You need to be careful. Although we are in full chase, there is too much uncertainty in powers. There are at least 50 supercats running in your direction.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, numerous pictures shed past Zhao Yao¡¯s mind.

    Broken metal body, the riot in supernatural prison, the supercats that wereing for him and the intel from Sang Biao...

    ¡°ording to Sang Biao¡¯s intel, Project X can take away other supercat¡¯s powers by contact. The stronger the powers, the longer the time needed.¡±

    ¡°Furthermore, he has a choice to take away their powers and intelligence and turn the target into an ordinary cat.¡±

    ¡°Or he can leave the cat with their intelligence and power. However, the supercats whose powers have been taken can no longer improve their powers.¡±

    ¡°Other than that...¡± Zhao Yao thought. ¡°It would be the passive power that was discovered by me. Other than taking away powers, he can duplicate powers passively. As long as within a certain distance, he can obtain the same powers.¡±

    ¡°The powers he owns that I know that he has are gravity, Sang Biao¡¯s evolution, Sang Biao¡¯sser, Shadow¡¯s shadow powers, metallic powers, Nanako¡¯s sound and Kaede Hattori¡¯s Divine Ray of Terror...¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°Wait a minute. Shadow?¡±

    He looked back at the piece of metal in the Extradimensional Belly. It dawned on him at that moment, ¡°So this metal body is fake? His real self is actually casting the Shadow ability and hiding in the shadows?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not impossible.¡±

    Thinking about the supercats that broke out of the prison during the mob, an ominous glint shed in Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes. ¡°Is that you, Project X? Even if he¡¯s not dead yet, how did he manage to find me?¡±

    ¡°Wait, did he see my appearance when he managed to get the power of Time Freeze?¡±

    ¡°Why did I think that I wouldn¡¯t need to conceal myself during Time Freeze? Did Project X recognise me from his intel about all the apostles and supercats in Jianghai? This spells trouble...¡±

    He looked back at Project X and all the other cats in the Extradimensional Belly as he thought of all kinds of scenarios in his head.

    At this point, Zhao Yao felt an impending danger. It was different from his past experiences of doing surprise attacks on the other party. This time, his identity was exposed, whereas Project X lurked in the dark.

    ¡°There is no superpower that is undefeatable in this world. All abilities have unimaginable effects.¡± Zhao Yao looked at his cats and formted a n in his mind. ¡°So in a superpower battle, the first to strike gains a huge advantage...¡±

    ...

    ¡°In a superpower battle, the first to strike gains a huge advantage.¡±

    Opposite Cat Wondend, Project X lurked in the shadows, staring maliciously at the shopping mall opposite him. ¡°There is no such thing as an undefeatable superpower in this world. The one who strikes first gains the upper hand. Even a very insignificant existence would be able to defeat a god-like power.¡±

    As he said that, his upper body slowly emerged from the shadows. His body swelled and contorted as three big tumors grew out of his body. The tumors looked like fruits as they grewrger andrger.

    This was Sang Biao¡¯s physical evolution power, where one¡¯s physique could change in unimaginable ways at one¡¯s will to adapt to all kinds of dangerous battles.

    Now, Project X was using this power to do something else.

    After the three tumors formedpletely, they fell to the ground. The three tumors vibrated for a while before they split apart, revealing three cats.

    The cats looked exactly like Coffee, ughter, and Shadow.

    However, these cats had a nk look on their faces and showed no signs of self-awareness. Project X just used Sang Biao¡¯s power to create these cats. In fact, the cats were soulless and mere copies of the original three cats.

    As Project X retreated into the shadows and hid beneath the legs of the three cats, their eyes fluttered and sparkled as if they came to life.

    By creating doppelgangers of these three cats, Project X could hide in their shadows and unleash their superpowers as he controlled their bodies. It was as if the three supercats had revived.

    Gaping at the ingenuity of his powers, fear shed in her eyes as she asked in a submissive tone, ¡°Project X, what do I do next?¡±

    ¡°Follow the n.¡±

    As he said that, Project X watched as the supercats that had broke out from the prison charged into the Cat Wondend. The three doppelganger cats smiled as they jumped down the building together and charged towards Cat Wondend as well.

    Project X hid behind the supercats from prison as he infiltrated the Cat Wondend. He spotted the main hall in no time and saw a man, a woman and a cat in battle. They were Zhao Xue, Bai Quan and Sphynx cat respectively. Zhao Yao stood behind them with his arms folded across his chest, as if he was watching a show.

    Bai Quan and the trio were able to defend against the onught of attacks from the prison cats with just their immense physical capabilities. A few kicks and punches were enough to extinguish the mes and receive bolts of lightning with ease, knocking out the hypnotized supercats one by one.

    ughter and Coffee hid in the dark while Project X and Shadow hid amongst the shadows. They shook their heads as they stared at Bai Quan and his trio, ¡°These three guys don¡¯t look easy to deal with.¡±

    After that, Project X turned and stared at Zhao Yao, ¡°This man, is he the one who activated Time Freeze? That means he opened this Cat Wondend. I heard rumors that he¡¯s good friends with the Headless Horseman and that this Cat Wondend is owned by the Headless Horseman. But seeing how he¡¯s able to activate the power of Time Freeze, he might just be the Headless Horseman himself.¡±

    Thinking about it, Project X¡¯s eyes rounded as he activated his power... the Aura Eye.

    This was a power he robbed from another cat. It could generate the target¡¯s personality, abilities and capabilities to form an urate image of the target in the user¡¯s eyes. By looking at the image, one would be able to tell the target¡¯s innate qualities and from there, get a rough sense of the target¡¯s capabilities and abilities.

    Project X cast the Aura Eye and first took a look at Bai Quan. His body was radiating with blood mes which protected his body like a solid armor.

    Next, he turned his gaze to Zhao Xue. She had turned into a strange figure with cat ears, a tail and a body bulging with muscles all over.

    ¡°The images of these two reflect the abilities they disy. They are most likely the closebat type that rely on enhancing their physical prowess for power but their powers are not very strong. But that woman, why is she in such an ugly form?¡±

    Project X shook his head and turned to look at Sphynx cat. He saw a golden armor with golden fur appear at the back of Sphynx cat, making him look like a fighting-god in the form of a giant cat.

    ¡°Hmm, they are all closebat types. This guy must be the strongest of the trio.¡±

    Finally, Project X looked in Zhao Yao¡¯s direction. However, he could no longer see Zhao Yao. Under the Aura Eye, the only image of him was that of an immobile dried fish whichy on the ground.

    Project X stared at the image before him thoughtfully.

    ¡°... What... does this mean?¡±

    ¡°This guy... he¡¯s weaker than the other three? But he could activate Time Freeze?¡± Project X was lost in thought. ¡°Why is his image shown to be so much weaker than the other three under the Aura Eye if he has the power of Time Freeze?¡±

    However his confusion onlysted for a moment. Project X quickly shook off his thoughts, ¡°No matter what, I will just kill this Zhao Yao since he has the power of Time Freeze. After that, I will just need to kill the strongest: Sphynx cat. The rest should not be a problem.¡±

    At the next moment, just as the battle reached its peak, the three doppelganger cats struck at the same time.

    ughter¡¯sser beam sted through Zhao Yao¡¯s body in an instant, followed by Shadow¡¯s de and the invisible gravitational force.

    Unleashing these three abilities at the same time would be enough to st a person into dust. However, to Project X¡¯s astonishment, Zhao Yao merely groaned as he suppressed the onught of attacks. His scorched, stabbed, andpressed body began to undergo Ultra Rapid Regeneration.

    ¡°Ultra Rapid Regeneration?¡± Project X smirked. ¡°What a fool. You gave up Time Freeze to use this ability. You¡¯re just seeking your own death.¡±

    The moment the three cats struck, Bai Quan and Zhao Xue charged towards ughter and Coffee, who unleashed theser beams and gravitational attacks respectively.

    Project X thought to himself, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right,e and attack my doppelganger. Show me your true abilities.¡± As for Zhao Yao, Project X could not be bothered with him anymore. A fool who only had the power of Ultra Rapid Regeneration was nothing to be concerned about.

    Afterall, as far as Project X knew, an apostle could only borrow a specific power at any one time. Under the Aura Eye, Zhao Yao turned into a piece of dried fish. Now, he even used the power of Ultra Rapid Regeneration.

    These actions corresponded to the intel Project X had. Hence, Project X no longer viewed Zhao Yao as a threat.

    To him, Sphynx cat¡¯s ability was certainly the strongest in the field. He seized a chance during the intense battle to sneak into the other party¡¯s shadow.

    ¡°Good. At this distance, I should be able to replicate his powers.¡±

    ¡°Next, I can just rely on the immense physical strength of his body to rob him of all his abilities and intelligence.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 794: A String of Attacks and Counterattacks</h4>

    Looking at Sphynx cat¡¯s well-built physique, Project X smiled to himself as appeared out of Sphynx cat¡¯s shadow and bit down on Sphynx cat¡¯s neck in a sh.

    ¡°Sess!¡± Project X¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°What a strong power this is. I can feel it. Absorbing this ability requires at least 20 seconds. But given my enhanced physical capabilities now after creating the doppelgangers coupled with Sang Biao¡¯s physical evolution powers, I will definitely be able to hold out for that long.¡±

    Right at the moment when Project X bit on Sphynx cat¡¯s neck, the flesh and blood on his body started vibrating intensely. One by one, tentacles shot out from his body and reached to entrap Sphynx cat¡¯s body. It was his way of wrapping Sphynx catpletely in his grasp for him to snatch his superpower.

    On the other hand, Sphynx cat quickly reacted to the situation when he felt the bite on his neck. He turned and saw Project X on his back and scoffed, ¡°It¡¯s exactly as Zhao Yao guessed. This guy was actually hiding amongst the shadows?¡±

    Sphynx cat looked at the tentacles wrapped around him and scoffed again. His body vibrated before it erupted with power in the next moment, exploding Project X¡¯s tentacles into countless chunks of flesh and blood that spurted out in all directions.

    ¡°How is this possible?¡± Seeing how Sphynx cat easily broke out from his control, Project X was shocked beyond words. ¡°His powers should have been suppressed by me! Why is he still able to counterattack with his physical body so easily?¡±

    Just as Project X was thinking about that, his vision turned ck as Sphynx cat¡¯s paw smacked down on his face like a mountain crashing down on him. With just one blow, Project X waspletely burst into pieces in midair.

    Zhao Xue was ted at the sight, ¡°Did we seed?¡±

    ¡°No!!¡± Zhao Yao, who was still undergoing regeneration, screamed. ¡°Those three cats! They might just all be Project X! Quick attack them!¡±

    Zhao Xue was stunned while Bai Quan immediately acted on his orders. Using the power of Ultra Rapid Regeneration, Bai Quan stared straight into the high-energyser beams as he charged forward roaring.

    Sphynx cat¡¯s reaction was even faster. After sting Project X with a paw, his body shed before his pawnded again on Coffee¡¯s head, smacking him down to the ground like a fly as his body disintegrated into a pool of blood.

    In that instant, the situation on the battlefield changed dramatically. Originally, Project X¡¯s body was split into Project X, Coffee, ughter, and Shadow. However, in the blink of an eye, Project X was destroyed by Sphynx cat in one blow and Coffee suffered severe injuries as well. ughter was defeated by Bai Quan while the remaining prison cats were suppressed by Zhao Xue.

    The only thing that remained unharmed and unaffected was Project X¡¯s shadow, as he had been hiding amongst the shadows all along.

    However in Project X¡¯s eyes, even though the odds were clearly against him, he was totally undaunted and his heart was as calm as a river.

    ¡°Hehe,¡± Project X gloated. ¡°I shall y with you guys for another round.¡±

    The moment Sphynx cat struck and killed both cats, Project X who was hiding in the shadows finally made his move and counterattacked.

    At his will, a mad surge of gravitational force assaulted every inch of space in the main hall. Everyone lost their bnce in that instant and was dragged upwards by an immense, upward force.

    The whole main hall in Cat Wondend had its centre of gravity reversed in a sh.

    At that moment, even with Sphynx cat¡¯s strength, it would be difficult for him to move at supersonic speed.

    Next, Project X controlled the ughter doppelganger to emit rays of white light and directed it upon everyone at the scene.

    Zhao Xue was shocked and immediately covered her face with her hand. Yet, she realized that the light that shone on her body did not seem to have any burning effect at all.

    ¡°This is notser? Then why is he shining it on us?¡±

    Sphynx cat turned to look behind him and cursed immediately in his heart.

    On the wall behind them, the shadows of all the cats and humans present were reflected on the wall, like targets to be hit.

    The shadow tentacles that Project X controlled creeped across the wall as they pierced through everyone¡¯s shadows on the wall.

    Shadow¡¯s shadow attack power could injure a target¡¯s body just by attacking its shadow. This power affects everyone and anyone regardless of their physical strength and defense capabilities.

    Even the machine cat that Doll controlled previously was damaged by through this attack.

    At that moment, if Sphynx cat¡¯s shadow was attacked, his body would definitely be injured. Furthermore, he did not have the same regeneration powers as Zhao Xue and Bai Quan. With his body stranded in midair, it would be too difficult for him to block the far-range shadow attack aimed at his own shadow.

    ¡°Project X has far more experience in battles,¡± Sphynx cat sighed in his heart. ¡°If I were the only cat here, I might be severely wounded from this series of gravitational force,ser beams and shadow attacks.

    But luckily...¡±

    Just as Sphynx cat sighed in his heart, Zhao Yao, who was floating in the air, screamed out, ¡°Hey! Project X, you dare toe over here?¡±

    ¡°This idiot. What nonsense is he saying. I¡¯m not a fool. Why should I look over just because he asked me to?¡± Just as Project X had that thought, a red light shed across in front of him, attracting his gaze over.

    The red light swept over in an instant andnded on Catherine.

    At that moment, Catherine was covered in the Deflective Field. Behind her was Ares, Roly Poly, Dust Ball, Fish Ball, Noodle, Elizabeth and many other supercats. They were all invisible under Roly Poly¡¯s power.

    With Roly Poly¡¯s invisibility and the protection of the Deflective Field, Zhao Yao was able to mask the supercats from sight, sound, and smell, concealing them perfectly so that they coulde to his aid in the nick of time.

    As the sounds ¡°Para-! Para-!¡± rang out from the ring, Project X locked eyes with Catherine. His vision turned ck as he dropped out from the shadows and crashed to the ground.

    Zhao Yao had long guessed Project X¡¯s shadow powers, hence he came up with this n to thwart his opponent¡¯s survival tactic.

    Indeed, the n was a sess.

    However, Project X¡¯s physical abilities were not weak. The moment he crashed to the ground he woke up from his nap and tried to return to hiding in the shadows.

    Zhao Yao immediately shouted telepathically, ¡°Elizabeth!¡±

    Elizabeth, who was concealed within the Deflective Field, shed red beams in her eyes as she aimed right at Project X.

    Project X was half-shadow half-cat when his body froze on the spot before it he slowly reverted into his physical form.

    However, even though the shadow of Project X was subdued, the ughter doppelganger controlled by Project X was not restrained by anything. He too was attracted to the red light and Catherine, copsing on the ground. However, he woke up right away and shotser beams at the crowd.

    Elizabeth could only control a single target at any on time. The shadow of Project X and Project X¡¯s ughter doppelganger had developed their own brains and organs using the ability of physical evolution so they were able to fight independently and even be separate lives.

    Hence, even though Elizabeth controlled the shadow of Project X, it was like controlling one of King of Death¡¯s puppets. She could not control Project X¡¯s other doppelgangers at the same time.

    Yet, at the same time when ughter awoke, Bai Quan, Zhao Xue and Sphynx cat awoke as well. They all went through the same process of being attracted to the red light, falling into a nap and awakening almost immediately.

    Bai Quan, who was the nearest to ughter charged forward in a sh and managed to block the other party and received the full impact of the high-energyser beams. As the smell of burnt meat wafted out, he bellowed in rage as he rushed to ughter and smashed his fist ruthlessly on ughter¡¯s head.

    The transparent supercat screamed in agony as it flew and smashed into the wall the next moment, his body sttering into different pieces.

    After Elizabeth gained control of Project X¡¯s shadow, she was no longer worried and managed to cast her power of illusion on all the prison supercats, knocking them unconscious.

    When he saw this, Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief as he squatted down and thought to himself, ¡°It¡¯s finally settled.¡±

 Chapter 795: Hiding and Switching Around

    Zhao Xue walked over to the immobilised Project X as she asked curiously, ¡°Did we seed? So he¡¯s the mastermind behind all this?¡±

    Bai Quan, on the other hand, had copsed on the floor. It was not out of pain. It was actually out of pleasure. He burst into spasms as 80% of his whole body was scorched.

    Matcha and Roly Poly rushed out excitedly. Matcha pushed Project X to the floor and stamped on his face as he shouted, ¡°Are you scared now? Foolish cat, let¡¯s see how you¡¯re going to make a ruckus again. You want to fight against me, Matcha? You¡¯re just asking for death!¡±

    Roly Poly was busy taking photos of the immobilized Project X with his phone. Matcha shouted, ¡°Hey, Roly Poly! Don¡¯t forget to include me in the photos.¡± As he said that, he posed with his paw pressing on Project X¡¯s head, as if he was the one who defeated Project X.

    ¡°You stupid cats! Project X isn¡¯t dead yet.¡± With a flick of his hand, Zhao Yao controlled Project X using the Deflective Field as he forced him into a seated position.

    Ah! This move made Matcha and Roly Poly scream in fright and scramble off with their tails between their legs. They hid behind Zhao Yao, each hugging one of his calves and peeking out from behind as they stared at the immobilized Project X.

    Sphynx cat walked behind Project X as he stretched out his paw and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, let¡¯s just kill him. He¡¯s too dangerous.¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin in deep thought. He intentionally sealed the Extradimensional Belly, concealed the supercats, and used himself, Sphynx cat, Zhao Xue, and Bai Quan as targets to lure Project X out. Following that, he had used Catherine together with the Paralysis Ring to catch Project X from the shadows.

    He guessed that Project X would hide in the shadows but he never expected him to use Sang Biao¡¯s physical evolution powers to ¡®recreate¡¯ Coffee, ughter, and Shadow.

    ¡°The cats, Coffee, ughter, and Shadow in the Extradimensional Belly are definitely real. So are these cats. This means that between the two groups of cats, one of them would have been created by Project X using Sang Biao¡¯s physical evolution powers. Thereafter, he cast the powers of each of the three cats through their bodies.¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned, ¡°If Project X can use his superpowers to create doppelgangers, how can we be sure that the Project X that we are controlling now is the only real physical form of him left?¡±

    ¡°This!¡± Zhao Xue was stunned, ¡°This can¡¯t be. If that¡¯s the case, this cat would be too good at hiding.¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t say,¡± Zhao Yao replied. ¡°In a superpower battle, the one who is better at hiding gets the upper hand. It is a continuous process of exchanging ultimatums.

    The ones who fight head on ultimately lose and die. The weeds on their graves have grown to three meters by now. The ones who can hide it out until the end are the strongest fighters. Project X seems like the strongest of the strong. His hiding skills are on par with mine so he¡¯s likely to have many tricks up his sleeves.¡±

    Zhao Xue was speechless.

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°Even Sang Biao did not show such a strong degree of control over his own body. However, since its his power, he should know a thing or two about it. There must be some weakness to it. Otherwise, Project X could just split himself infinitely and take over the whole world. There would be no need for pulling these petty battle tactics.¡±

    However, earlier, when Zhao Yao emptied and sealed the Extradimensional Belly for safety, he had locked Sang Biao on the Cat Ind and removed the dimension portal for it.

    Hence, he had to enter the Cat Ind again to dig out information about the weakness of the physical evolution power from Sang Biao.

    Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°I have to go to the Cat Ind? No, I can¡¯t go. Project X might just be lurking somewhere nearby, waiting for a chance to strike. I must ask someone else or some other cat to go.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked around before he said, ¡°Cheese, go to the Cat Ind now and ask Sang Biao to exin his powers clearly and in detail. Ask him if there are any limitations or counter-tactics to tackling Project X¡¯s physical doppelgangers.¡±

    Immediately, Cheese flew up to the sky in a storm of dust and sand as he headed towards the Cat Ind.

    ...

    Xiao Yu and her cat, which had turned into spirit form, looked around Cat Wondend for Zhao Yao. They nced at the shaking building as they heard the explosion from afar. Xiao Yu wondered aloud, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go and take a look, Nekomata!¡±

    ...

    Outside the Cat Wondend, Kun Wu, who had been spying on the scene, widened her eyes as she eximed, ¡°Amazing, Headless Horseman and hisrades are all so powerful. They actually managed to subdue Project X.¡±

    It turned out that she was able to watch the whole battle that happened just now through Project X¡¯s vision sharing.

    ¡°But at this rate we are never going to win.¡± Kun Wu stared at the Cat Wondend worriedly for awhile before she came to a decision. ¡°I must go in and tell them...¡±

    ...

    At the same time, countless spirits were floating around, surrounding each level of the Cat Wondend on the exterior of the building.

    They were spraying the word ¡®demolish¡¯ all over the exterior of the building.

    At the center of the rooftop of Cat Wondend, another Project X stood unharmed as he frowned, ¡°We lost contact? Have all four doppelgangers been killed?¡±

    ¡°But I managed to collect quite a lot of intel on their superpowers.¡±

    The intel Project X gathered shed across his mind. Bai Quan¡¯s strong physique and power of regeneration, Zhao Xue and Sphynx cat¡¯s physical capabilities as well as the inability to snatch away Sphynx cat¡¯s power.

    The ring that shone a red spot of light and Catherine, who could induce sleep with just one look...

    It was exactly as Zhao Yao had guessed. Project X, who could control the physical evolution of his body to create growth beyond his body, had never revealed his true physical form throughout the battle. He had been using his doppelgangers to fight the whole time while he collected superpower intel through them. He hid somewhere else to formte ns to fight.

    ¡°The sleep-inducing cat and the red spot of light is truly bizarre. But since I know of it now, I will just avoid it using my own powers. However, the brute strength of that Sphynx cat is seriously too strong. He could kill two of my doppelgangers at once.¡±

    Project X stroked his chin and thought to himself, ¡°What¡¯s up with that Sphynx cat¡¯s abilities? Why is that I could not replicate his abilities even though I was in close proximity to do it? Could it be...¡±

    Just as Project X was thinking about that, Momo, who was floating beside him, interrupted his thoughts as she said, ¡°It¡¯s done, Project X. The spirits have sprayed all eight directions in all six storeys of the mall with the word ¡®demolish¡¯.¡±

    ¡°Oh, not bad Momo. You did well.¡±

    Project X smiled as he pressed both paws on the floor beneath his feet.

    ¡°Fortress Nightmare... activate!¡±

    The moment Project X activated this power, every person and cat in the Cat Wondend felt their sense of direction be reversed and distorted.

    The next moment, everyone¡¯s vision turned ck before they realized they were no longer standing in their original positions.

    Cat Wondend, which had stood out tall on the streets had turned into a fully ck castle that rose to hundreds of meters in height. The castle was blurred, as if it was in a parallel universe.

    ...

    Sphynx cat¡¯s vision was a series of ck and white shes. He experienced a loss of gravity before he found himself in a strange main hall.

    ck veined patterns adorned the whole main hall coupled with marble beads. Only a few small torches lighted the ce. It was ominously dark.

    In the centre of this strange hall stood Project X, perfectly unharmed and staring curiously at Sphynx cat.

    The moment he saw Project X, Sphynx cat instinctively crouched down, sinking his paws into the floor to lock his body in the ground.

    ¡°Wee to my pce.¡± Project Xughed. ¡°You must be strongest out of all those guys there. Once I figure out your powers, I can finish them off one by one.¡±

    Project X thought to himself, ¡°As long as I canbine this guy¡¯s abilities with Sang Biao¡¯s physical evolution abilities, the others will be no match for me.¡±

    As Project X thought of that, numerous other Project X¡¯s emerged from the shadows and converged into the body of the Project X in the center of the main hall.

    ¡°You gathered all your doppelgangers?¡± Sphynx cat scoffed. ¡°So if I kill you now, even if you don¡¯t die you will probably be severely wounded right?¡±

    ¡°You can try.¡± Project X startedughing. ¡°If you can kill me, you would be the strongest on this. You would have a greater right to live than I do.¡±

    Looking at Project X, Sphynx cat¡¯s muscles tensed up. He gathered all the power he had in his body before expelling it all at once.

    Bam!

    Sphynx cat flew out like a cannon ball as he red up all the muscles in his body. However, when he was nearing Project X, his whole body swerved against his will as he flew off on a tangent away from Project X.

    Project X said calmly, ¡°It¡¯s no use. Under the influence of the gravitational ability, I just need to exert a little bit of force for you to go off track and move away from me.¡±

    However, in the next moment, Sphynx cat zed across with a trail of shadows behind him as he brushed past Project X and mmed head-first into the wall on the opposite end.

    Right before his body came into contact with the wall, Sphynx cat¡¯s upper-body muscles coordinated with his lower-body strength as he flipped his body around like a spinning football. His feet banged against the wall as he curled,pressed, and shot off!

    A loud explosion boomed across the main hall as Sphynx cat charged through the air again, brushing past Project X¡¯s body amidst the howling air.

    He watched as Sphynx cat sped up, knocking down walls, tearing up the ground, and destroying the ceiling. Project X frowned.

    ¡°Is he using his powers and strength to move around at supersonic speed, breaking down walls so that he cannot be caught by my gravitational force?¡±

    Project X discovered the rationale behind Sphynx cat¡¯s moves. Sphynx cat had exceptionally strong physical capabilities but no flying abilities. All his powers relied on his quick reaction time and sheer strength. Once he lost contact with a surface and became stranded in midair, he would not be able to unleash even a tenth of his fighting power.

    However, Project X did not immediately lift Sphynx cat into midair and cut off his points of contact. Sphynx cat could rely on his superior strength, speed, and explosive powers to bounce off the walls. No matter how Project X manipted the gravitational force, he could only change the direction Sphynx cat was heading in. He could not stop Sphynx cat from flying head-first into a wall, before reversing and bouncing off again with his sheer strength and quick reaction speed.

    ¡°If I want to stop him from moving around so fast, I have to reverse the gravitational force right when he¡¯s leaping in midair and reduce his speed to zero once hees into contact with the wall. But this is easier said than done...¡±

    Project X watched as Sphynx cat zoomed back and forth amidst sounds of booming explosions. Sphynx cat moved at a such great speed that he quickly turned into a thin line. Project X frowned, ¡°His speed has already exceeded my reaction time. Furthermore...¡±

    Bam! A partition wall burst into pieces after Sphynx cat crashed head-first into it. He crashed his way back in through another wall.

    ¡°Not just supersonic movement, this guy is also destroying the surroundings, limiting the effects of my gravitational force. On top of that, he created more barriers for him to hide and leap about. He¡¯s creating a favorable battlefield for himself.¡±

    At the thought of this, Project X chuckled. ¡°So you¡¯re trying to counter my power after receiving a blow from me? You really know how to seize that little bit of leeway l gave you.

    This guy¡¯s fighting intuition is very powerful. Next, he will surely find a chance to strike me...¡±

    As Sphynx cat¡¯s speed increased, Project X found it increasingly difficult to react in time.

    Finally, a tearing sound was heard as Project X stared in shock at Sphynx cat finally found a chance to ovee the gravitational force and m right into Project X¡¯s back. With that, he easily ripped Project X into two.

    ...

    ¡°Ah!¡±

    Matcha covered his head as he stared at the pitch-ck surroundings. He looked at the dark, winding corridor, where not a single cat or human soul was to be found, and screamed in agitation again.

    He clutched his head as he paced back and forth anxiously.

    ¡°What shall I do? What shall I do?¡±

    ¡°Everyone¡¯s missing!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m the only cat here!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m doomed!¡±

    Matcha copsed on the floor and immediately covered his mouth, ¡°No, I can¡¯t scream and shout now. What if I attract the enemy¡¯s attention?¡±

    ¡°But I¡¯m really very scared!¡±

    Looking at the pile of orange fur he shedded, Matcha quickly licked himself a little to calm himself down.

    ¡°No, Matcha, calm down. If you act like this, what will be of the other cats?¡± Matcha licked his fur for a while and felt himself calm down. He started thinking to himself, ¡°Was everyone dispersed in the battle and sent here?¡±

    ¡°Does that mean the others are being attacked now? Are they trying to eliminate us one by one?¡±

    ¡°Should I go and save them?¡±

    Staring at both ends of the pitch-ck corridor, Matcha tried to take a step out but immediately retracted. ¡°Or should I just stay where I am and wait for help?¡±

    ¡°But what if the enemy finds me first?¡±

    As he thought of that, Matcha started shedding fur again. He clutched his head in despair with both paws as he thought, ¡°Dead, dead, I¡¯m so powerful they will definitely attack me first! What am I supposed to do?¡±

    Matcha clutched his head and thought for a long while. He decided to put down his bag and took out his phone as he thought, ¡°Forget it. I can¡¯t think of anything anyway. Let me y a round of Mobile Legends first.¡±

    However, when he unlocked his phone, what he saw on the screen made him shake in anger.

    ¡°There¡¯s no inte here? What kind of lousy ce is this?¡±

    At the thought of this, Matcha put the phone back into his bag. He carried his bag as he strode towards the dark end of the corridor. ¡°No, I must find a ce where I can connect to the inte, so I can contact Zhao Yao and the rest.¡±

    As he talked to himself, Matcha had already broken into a small run as he charged into the dark corridor with his tail swishing behind him.

    Matcha continued walking. Just as he felt more and more tired and that the corridor stretched on endlessly, he saw a corner turn in front of him. However, his ears suddenly twitched and the next moment, he felt his body be immobilized on the spot.

    Sounds of heavy panting reverberated from the other side of the corner. Matcha¡¯s heart pounded faster and faster as he hid at the corner spot, shrieking internally, ¡°Ah! What do I do! Someone¡¯sing!¡±

    ¡°What do I do what do I do what do I do?¡±

    Matcha was about have a mental breakdown as his fur shedded crazily. The panting sound came nearer and nearer before a ck shadow leapt across the corner and appeared in front of Matcha.

    ¡°Ah!¡± Seeing the ck shadow that suddenly appeared, Matcha screamed in rm and instinctively activated Time Freeze at that moment.

    Matcha observed the ck shadow that hade to a standstill under Time Freeze. He measured its size roughly and was surprised. ¡°It¡¯s not that big? This ck substance wouldn¡¯t be anything good anyway. Humph, I¡¯ll beat the shit out of you first.¡±

    At the thought of this, Matcha put down his bag while still under Time Freeze and took out a small hammer. He started whacking the shadow with it.

    After much bashing, Matcha suddenly gasped as he took a closer look. ¡°This guy looks like Lightning.¡±

    Matcha plucked some fur from the other party with his paw. The small hammer in his mouth dropped when he saw the fur. ¡°It¡¯s really Lightning.¡±

    When time resumed its flow, Lightning suddenly felt intense pain all over his body and copsed on the floor. He was just about to scream in pain but a shrill and even more agonizing scream assaulted his ears.

    Lightning raised his head and saw Matcha lying beside him, clutching his head as he screamed, ¡°So painful! Who¡¯s attacking me?¡±

    Lightning asked, ¡°Matcha?¡±

    Matcha eximed, ¡°Lightning? Someone hit me. Psychokinesis, it must be psychokinesis! Run!¡±

    When Lightning saw Matcha stand up and hobble into the distance, he panicked and caught up with Matcha despite the pain.

    ¡°Wait for me Matcha! Don¡¯t leave me alone!¡±

    The two cats ran for a long distance then Matcha stopped and started panting. ¡°I think those guys did not catch up.¡±

    Lightning fell to the floor andid there like he was dead. ¡°It is so painful. Who attacked us? I feel like I have been hammered.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Matcha said seriously. ¡°However, if he can attack the both of us at the same time and injure us this badly, he must be highly skilled.¡±

    Bam! Suddenly, a small hammer fell out from Matcha¡¯s bag.

    To Lightning¡¯s bewilderment, Matcha exined, ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous. This is the hammer I keep for self defense. It is small and not heavy, perfect for cats. Do you want one?¡±

    ¡°No... It¡¯s okay.¡± Lightning said, ¡°What should we do now? Where are we? Where is Zhao Yao and the rest?¡±

    Matcha picked up the hammer and threw it back into his bag then he said solemnly. ¡°I don¡¯t know where are we but, most likely, the rest of them have been sent over too. Project X wants to separate us then attack us one by one.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Lightning was worried. ¡°Then what should we do?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Matcha answered, ¡°We should work together to find other cats and people. The more we find, the better the situation gets. Of course, it would be best to find Zhao Yao.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Lightning nodded his head. ¡°Although normally Zhao Yao feels unreliable, stingy, and cold-blooded at times like this I still want to be with him.¡±

    The two cats looked at each other and sighed.

    Then, Lightning patted Matcha on the shoulder and pointed to the corner.

    They saw a cat¡¯s shadow growing longer under the light. There was a cat walking towards them and he had light behind him.

    Lightning chatted privately. ¡°How, what should we do Matcha? There is a cating!¡±

    Matcha shook his paws and said, ¡°Don¡¯t panic. When hees over, I will activate my Time Freeze and hit him with my hammer. After you see him on the floor, send your lightning bolts. I don¡¯t believe that he won¡¯t die!¡±

    Lightning¡¯s gaze changed and asked, ¡°Matcha, did you attack me just now with Time Freeze?¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Matcha replied, ¡°I can¡¯t hear you properly. The signal is not great! There must be a power interfering.¡±

    When Matcha saw that Lightning was about to speak, he covered Lightning¡¯s mouth and said, ¡°Don¡¯t! He ising!¡±

    The shadow grew longer and longer as the cat came closer. A thought struck Matcha as he said, ¡°Lightning! Strike him now!¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Lightning looked at his fur and hesitated.

    Matcha said, ¡°Do you want to live or die?¡±

    Lightning clenched his teeth and released blue lightning bolts. As the static electricity exploded, Lightning turned into a sea urchin and was screaming.

    Upon hearing Lightning¡¯s screams, the shadow stopped and Matcha activated Time Freeze.

    He charged over and saw Coffee floating in the air. Coffee was a few meters away from them and there was a torch beside him for illumination.

    ¡°This is the cat that controls gravity? Or is Project X?¡± Matcha hesitated and realized that he was still frozen in mid air. He understood immediately. ¡°He did not learn my Time Freeze so this guy isn¡¯t Project X, he is the real Coffee?¡±

    Matcha was shocked. ¡°Then the two Coffees that Zhao Yao killed were transformed by Project X?¡±

    Matcha shook his head. ¡°It is not the time to think of this now.¡± He picked up his hammer and let out an evil grin while he looked at Coffee, who was in the air. ¡°Humph, since you don¡¯t have Time Freeze then you can¡¯t me me.¡±

    He rushed up and jumped. He attacked Coffee with his hammer without stopping.

    Then, he walked back panting. He used his hammer and moved the Lightning under Coffee.

    ¡°This should be enough.¡±

    Matcha wanted to resume time but he looked at the distance between him and Coffee. ¡°I should be further.¡±

    He backed up off for about hundred meters then ended his Time Freeze.

    Then, he saw Coffee tremble and let out a yell. As the power exploded above him, Coffee fainted and fell to the ground.

    He fell onto Lightning and Coffee let out a louder scream. He turned into a sea urchin too and jumped towards the sky.

    ¡°Ahhh!!!¡± Coffee floated in mid air with the help of his powers. His face was covered in blood and his body was in pain. He looked at Matcha and Lightning as he yelled, ¡°You guys are dead! I am going to kill you!¡±

    Lightning was caught by the raging gravity and he cried, ¡°Matcha! Save me!¡±

    However, Matcha had escaped.

    Matcha was running and thinking. ¡°How is he not dead yet? I did not give mercy.¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao opened his eyes.

    ¡°Foreign ceiling.¡±

    ¡°A stench from cats.¡±

    ¡°There must have been many cats here and no one cleaned it up.¡±

    Zhao Yao stood up and observed his surroundings. His ears twitched and frowned. ¡°No longer in Cat Wondend?¡±

    He tried tomunicate with the Extradimensional Belly and realized it failed. He could not even open the Dimension Portal or self devour.

    Zhao Yao frowned deeply. ¡°I have lost connection with Extradimensional Belly? Unless, this is not reality but another dimension?¡±

    He touched the ck walls beside him and activated the Deflective Field to attack the walls.

    Although the walls were very solid, under attack from a power equivalent to hundreds of tonnes, the wall was still broken. A corridor was revealed at the other end of the wall.

    Zhao Yao crashed through the walls one by one and tried to leave this building. After ten minutes, he realized he was back at the first wall he had broken through.

    ¡°This ce... this is not a normal building. There is something wrong with this dimension.¡±

    Zhao Yao felt that there was something amiss with the dimension around him and started to get anxious.

    There must have been a reason why Project X sent them to this ce. He could be hunting down the other supercats right now.

    Thinking of this, Zhao Yao could no longer endure it. He activated the Power Up card.

    Golden light rays shot out from his body and turned into various invisible force as it shot towards the building. He crushed all the walls within ten meters.

    Zhao Yao continued to walk forward while crushing through the walls. He was trying to find the border of this peculiar building or other supercats.

    ...

    Bam!

    As Sphynx cat managed to hit Project X¡¯s body and tore him apart, Project X¡¯s body shrank and was attached to Sphynx cat¡¯s body.

    Sphynx cat was rmed. ¡°This... is gravity? He is the gravitational source now?¡±

    The violent power was raging in Sphynx cat¡¯s muscles as he shook Project X¡¯s flesh off his body.

    But it was a satellite that was attracted to the Earth, the flesh of Project X was dragged back by the gravitation and stuck onto Sphynx cat. In fact, many gravels and sand stuck onto Sphynx cat too.

    ¡°No...¡± Sphynx cat was surprised. ¡°This guy¡¯s gravitational ability was stronger than before. Is it because he had merged with his other apparitions? Even after the merge, he has been hiding his abilities, he only exploded when I used my ultimate attack.¡±

    Thinking of this, Sphynx cat was elerating around at high speed. He tried to throw off the chunk of flesh on his body.

    ¡°I can¡¯t do it... other than gravitation, there is...¡±

    Sphynx cat looked and saw a shadow stitching the flesh together.

    ¡°He hid the shadows in his flesh. This fellow... he has been waiting for me to attack him... No matter if he was hiding his strength, using himself as the source of gravitation or using shadows to stitch himself back... He has been waiting for me...¡±

    Thinking of this, Sphynx cat was rmed. However, he held himself together and crashed towards the wall with Project X on his body.

    ¡°If I can¡¯t get rid of you, I will kill youpletely!¡±

    As Sphynx cat was thinking of that, Project X¡¯s voice entered his mind.

    ¡°The strongest point is also the weakest.¡± Project X said slowly. ¡°If you kept moving around at such high speed, it would have been troublesome. But, if you can kill me, it is the time for me to kill you too.¡±

    Bam!

    Sphynx cat¡¯s chest trembled and a huge wound opened. Blood gushed out of it.

    Meow! Sphynx cat yelled and pressed down on his chest in disbelief.

    Then, he started running around at high speed again.

    ¡°What attack was that?¡±

    ¡°Where is it from?¡±

    ¡°How is it possible? His shadow weapon or gravity shouldn¡¯t be able to break through my defense... wait...¡±

    Shadow cat, who was moving at high speed, looked onto the floor. As they were together, their shadows ovepped each other.

    No matter how fast he moved, as long as Sphynx cat was carrying Project X, his shadows would never leave Project X¡¯s shadows.

    Then, Project X¡¯s shadow shed Sphynx cat¡¯s shadow again.

    Blood sshed out from Sphynx cat.

    Meowu!! Sphynx cat opened his mouth and started chewing on Project X¡¯s flesh.

    Project X said calmly. ¡°Trying to eat me?¡±

    As the shadow attacked Sphynx cat¡¯s shadow, there were more and more bloody holes appearing on his body. There were also more shadowsing out from his body and engulfed his body slowly.

    ¡°The strongest moment is also the weakest moment. The nearer you are to victory, the more you have to be careful of potential danger.¡±

    ¡°When you did not run off the first moment you saw me, you lost... Young cat, you are too naive.¡±

    Project X¡¯s body merged back together under Sang Biao¡¯s powers. There was a shadow sewing his body back together.

    ¡°The nearer to victory, the more I have to be careful of potential danger?¡± Sphynx cat sighed, ¡°I¡¯ve lost.¡±

    Heid beside Project X and was bleeding profusely. ¡°How much strength did you use?¡±

    ¡°How much strength?¡± Project Xughed. ¡°If I have to name it, it would probably be like a human toying with a cat.¡±

    Sphynx cat smiled and there was more blood flowing out from his mouth. ¡°One day someone will toy with you.¡±

    ¡°A loser¡¯sment is an ugly sight.¡± Project X reached out his paws and pressed on Sphynx cat¡¯s head. ¡°Now, let me look at your powers.¡±

    After a half a minute, Project X opened his eyes and was in joy. ¡°Workout? In this case, even without intelligence and power, you still have very strongbat powers. Furthermore, with such a developed brain, even without powers and intelligence, you are a threat...¡±

    He looked at Sphynx cat andughed. ¡°Then, I shall leave you with your intelligence and powers but I will need something else...¡±

    ¡°Your life.¡±

    Then, a shadow cut across Sphynx cat¡¯s neck and Sphynx cat copsed onto the ground.

    ¡°This is much more pleasing to the eye.¡± Project X looked at his paw and all the blood in his body started to fluctuate.

    ¡°Workout powers plus Sang Biao¡¯s evolution powers are a perfectbination.¡±

    Project X¡¯s body was shaking and his entire body was contracting and expanding.

    ¡°The workout powers elerated the evolution process.With a bit of improvement, Sang Biao¡¯s power will be able to spread through my whole body and will even control the progress of my powers.¡±

    Project X was excited and his body shed across the air like lightning. He charged outside and elerated faster and faster.

    A few minutes after Project X left, Sphynx cat opened his eyes.

    ¡°Thest attack... I was immune?¡± He breathed out heavily and Sphynx cat was very grateful to Zhao Yao for leveling up the immunity ability to 7%.

    Sphynx cat crawled up from the floor and thought. ¡°I have to contact Zhao Yao quickly. Project X has terrifying powers. We have to kill him before he grows to his full potential.¡±

    Then there was a sh in the air and it cut across Sphynx cat¡¯s shadow.

    Sphynx cat fell to the floor.

    He looked at Project X and his pupils dted.

    ¡°You... you can...¡±

    Project X smiled and nodded. ¡°Yes, I can see.¡±

    Countless shadows pierced through Sphynx cat¡¯s shadows and Project X left smiling.

    As Project X left, in the darkness, there was a beep.In the piles of rubble, Sphynx cat¡¯s phone had exited videoing mode due to insufficient power

    Zhao Yao was stunned as he looked at his Book. Sphynx cat¡¯s portion on the Book had turned grey, this has never happened before.

    ¡°What is going on?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s heart sank as he tried to add experience points for Sphynx cat. He looked at the row of words that appeared and fell silent.

    He was silent then Zhao Yao looked up and wiped his eyes. ¡°So that¡¯s why...¡±

    A distant light shone over him and ughter looked at Zhao Yao in surprise. ¡°Look what I found?¡±

    ¡°A small bug?¡±

    ughter thought to himself. ¡°ording to Project X, this guy is one of the weakest. Besides, there is no need to take his powers, I can just kill him. Looks like I am in luck.¡±

    ughter raised his finger and aser beam that was as thick as an arm shot towards Zhao Yao.

    The high heat melted Zhao Yao¡¯s flesh bit by bit, however, Zhao Yao stood still in his ce and Ultra Rapid Regeneration healed his wounds constantly.

    ughterughed, ¡°What a great target! I am a bit reluctant to kill you now.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the data on the Book and chose to level up the Book.

    The moment he leveled up the Book, he felt the like the veins in his body expanded. It was an indescribable feeling. It was not pain but the feeling of growth.

    Bam! Zhao Yao¡¯s muscles shrank and expanded uncontrobly and his knees fell to the ground. His hands hit the ground and cracked the floor intorge pieces of rubble. His veins popped out and were trembling.

    ughterughed out loud. ¡°Are you begging me? Even if you beg me, it¡¯s useless!¡± He shot out the high energyser beam that had shot down Doll.

    The thickser beam engulfed Zhao Yaopletely and the floor, ceiling and pirs around him vaporized.

    When ughter thought Zhao Yao was dead, a huge shadow walked out from the high energyser beams. He walked nearer and nearer against theser beam until he reached ughter.

    ¡°What is this?¡± ughter screamed, ¡°How is this possible?!¡±

    Arge palm reached out the column and grabbed onto ughter¡¯s head.

    ¡°You guys... you guys pissed me off.¡±

    Bam! ughter¡¯s body flew out like meteorite and crashed through several walls. At the end, he disappeared into the air.

    Zhao Yao walked out and only his shirt was damaged. He only had pants left. His body was exposed. It looked like it had been sculpted to perfection. Looking at his body gave the impression of unimaginable powers.

    ¡°Project X!!!!!!¡±

    Distorted waves that were visible to the eye came out of Zhao Yao¡¯s mouth as he yelled. The waves turned into rumbling sound waves and spread out towards the darkness.

    ¡°No one replied? It is so huge in here?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s ears twitched as he took a deep breath. ¡°Smell... Smell... Anyone of them will do...¡±

    ...

    ¡°What?¡± Bai Quan raised his head and asked in bewilderment. ¡°Roly Poly? Did you hear something?¡±

    He looked down at Roly Poly, who was in his arms. Roly Poly shook his head and started meowing.

    Bai Quan was speechless. ¡°Can you type? I can¡¯t hear anything like this.¡±

    Roly Poly pulled out his phone and typed. ¡°Your hearing is much better than mine. Why are you asking me? Don¡¯t stop! Go and look for Zhao Yao! It is so dark and scary here!¡±

    Bai Quan stroked Roly Poly¡¯s head andughed. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I will protect you...¡±

    Then, Bai Quan jerked around and looked towards the darkness. All the hair on his body stood up.

    Roly Poly typed and asked, ¡°What is it Bai Quan?¡±

    ¡°There is somethinging over here.¡± Bai Quan said and couldn¡¯t help but started trembling. ¡°It is so strong, so strong, so strong, so strong... Before we even meet, I can feel like we can¡¯t defeat him... It is terrifyingly strong.¡±

    ¡°Hey! Are you serious!¡± Roly Poly was anxious. ¡°If you can¡¯t defeat him then why are you still standing here! Run!¡±

    Bai Quan nodded and squat down hurriedly. His thigh muscles contracted and then the floor under his leg started crumbling as he flew out like a cannon.

    Roly Poly was in his arms and was blown by the wind til his face was contorted.

    Bai Quan did not have time to care about this. The malice behind him was like a knife resting on his neck. The person in pursuit did not bother to cover up his evil intentions. Nor did he bother to hide. It was like a cat toying with a mouse.

    When Roly Poly saw that Bai Quan was running faster and faster until he broke out in cold sweat, Roly Poly scratched Bai Quan¡¯s chest crazily. Bai Quan stopped and asked, ¡°What is it Roly Poly! If we don¡¯t run, it¡¯s going to be toote! Endure it!¡±

    Roly Poly typed, ¡°Can we even escape?¡±

    Bai Quan frowned and looked at the ck corridor in despair. ¡°We probably can¡¯t escape. I don¡¯t think the distance between us increased. It is like someone is blowing at my neck constantly.¡±

    ¡°Then, let¡¯s hide.¡± Roly Poly let out a solemn look. ¡°I can make the both of us invisible, maybe...¡±

    Bam!

    Bai Quan disappeared after an explosion. There was only a deep ck hole left. It seemed like something had smacked him away.

    Roly Poly looked at this scene in shock. Then, he felt a paw press against his head.

    ¡°Child, what is your power?¡±

    Bai Quan leap out from the ck hole and attacked Project X viciously. However, Project X swept his tail and Bai Quan flew off again.

    Project X continued to press onto Roly Poly¡¯s head like nothing happened and licked Roly Poly¡¯s face. ¡°What a cute little male cat.¡±

    Roly Poly was trembling and mastered his courage to say, ¡°I... I don¡¯t want to die. Can... can you don¡¯t... Please...¡± Roly Poly¡¯s tears rolled down his cheeks.

    ¡°Shh, I am just taking back my own stuff.¡± Project X said slowly. ¡°Invisibility? Never mind, it¡¯s better than nothing.¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao!!¡±

    Bai Quan crawled out from the hole and he saw Roly Poly on the floor meowing at him. Then, Roly Poly walked up and started licking his arm.

    ¡°Roly Poly!¡± Bai Quan looked at the cat in front of him in shock. His hands trembled as he stroke Roly Poly¡¯s head. Roly Poly immediately cuddled against his palm.

    Upon seeing this, Bai Quan was grief-stricken.

    ¡°Project X... is gone? He never bothered taking our lives.¡±

    Bai Quan looked down at Roly Poly, whose intelligence and powers had been taken, Bai Quan was in great grief.

    He hugged Roly Poly and walked away quickly.

    ¡°I have to find Boss.¡±

    ¡°If I find Boss, maybe there will be a way...¡±

    ...

    Coffee was running down the never ending corridor. He was dragging along Lightning, who looked like a sea urchin.

    In front of them, Matcha was sprinting and panting. His bag had been thrown onto the floor and he waspletely out of breath. He looked like he was about to die.

    ¡°Run!¡± Coffee raged, ¡°Run further! I thought you could run really well?¡±

    He activated his gravity power and tripped Matcha. Matcha fell to the ground and stood up to move forward immediately.

    Ha! Ha! Ha! Matcha was slowing down while he panted harder and harder. Then, a gravitational force grabbed his hind leg. No matter how hard he struggled, it was fruitless. He flipped over andid on the floor with his tongue hanging out.

    Coffee slowly hovered above Matcha andughed coldly. ¡°Not running anymore?¡±

    Matcha was panting and shouting, ¡°This is enough! If you want to kill me, just do it! Stop insulting me!¡±

    Humph! Coffee pped Matcha on the face. ¡°What a tough cat. Not afraid of death? But, I am not going to kill you, if you...¡± Of course he could not kill the supercats, these supercats needed to be brought to Project X.

    Bam! Matcha knelt onto the floor and looked at Coffee sincerely. ¡°Grandpa! Please don¡¯t kill me.¡±

    Coffee startedughing loudly and stroked Matcha¡¯s head. ¡°Good boy.¡±

    Then, Matcha turned and peed on Coffee.¡±Go and die sea urchin!¡± Then, he activated his Time Freeze in Coffee¡¯s angry gaze.

    In the still world, Matcha heaved a sigh of relief and then he ran towards his bag. He picked up his hammer and hammered Coffee again.

    ¡°Stupid cat!¡±

    ¡°Watch me hammer you to death!¡±

    Matcha used all his strength to hammer Coffee.

    When, time started flowing again, Coffee let a ear piercing yell and fell unconscious to the floor.

    Matcha, heaved a sigh of relief and copsed on the floor.

    ...

    Meanwhile, Project X was invisible while he swept through the corridor like a cool breeze. Project X proceeded to his next target.

    ¡°The two closest cats to me are the two ragdoll cats?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, before that they had controlled my body and made me sleep,¡± He thought.

    ¡°It is such a troublesome power. I should just attack while I am invisible, knock them unconscious, and take their powers.¡±

    As Project X was thinking, he halted and turned to look behind him.

    ¡°Coffee has failed? The orange cat¡¯s power is...¡±

    ¡°Time freeze?¡±

    Project X¡¯s mouth curled up and he sped towards Matcha like lightning.

    ¡°I shall take back Time Freeze.¡±

    ¡°As for the Ragdoll cats... Is Shadow nearby?¡¯

    ...

    Elizabeth was panting as sheid on the floor motionless. She stuck her tongue out and her nose was red.

    Catherine was by her side panting too. She kicked Elizabeth and said, ¡°Hurry up, why did you stop?! We have to find the other cats and gather together.¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t run anymore...¡± Elizabeth was unhappy. ¡°It is the summer and I have to wear such a thick coat to run around in thirty degrees Celsius. There isn¡¯t even air con! No, I feel like I¡¯m about to get a heat stroke.¡±

    Catherine was in despair. ¡°If you stay here you may be ambushed.¡±

    ¡°Whoever who wants toe cane.¡± Elizabeth was unhappy. ¡°That¡¯s fine. I can unleash my anger on them. I won¡¯t run anymore.¡±

    ¡°This child!¡± Catherine looked at Elizabeth who was lying on the floor motionless and wanted to beat her up.

    ¡°Then, pluck some fur out. If you have less fur it would be cooler.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to!¡± Elizabeth was shaking her head. ¡°I will look ugly with too little fur.¡±

    The two cats did not notice that underneath them, their shadows were expanding.

    ...

    Zhao Yao was sniffing the air as he chose a fork in the road and continued to run. He would stop from time to time and try to identity the scent in the air.

    After leveling up the Book, Zhao Yao had merged with Sphynx cat¡¯s powers. Hence, now he had the powers of six cats. His strength, speed, vision, smell, and instincts, they had been strengthened to an incredible extent. He was even stronger than Sphynx cat.

    Now, he was picking up on ughter¡¯s scent and followed ughter in hopes of finding Project X.

    Although the dimension and structure of this ce was strange, he believed that if he found where ughter came from, he would be able to discover some things.

    Then, his ears twitched and his gaze grew solemn. He slowed down and walked forward slowly.

    After a turn, a huge space appeared in front of him.

    It was a hall that was several hundred meters tall and thousands of meters wide. The walls around the hall was filled with many many exits that was like the one Zhao Yao had came from. They were deep and no one knew where they led to.

    It was like a gigantic hive.

    In the middle of the hall, a huge cage was ced there. In it were Dust Ball, Husky, Ares, and Lucifer.

    In the other cage, there was Zhao Xue with ragged clothes, looking like refugee.

    Outside the cage were several supercats patrolling. Evidently they were there to guard the supercats.

    Zhao Yao looked carefully and realized that all these cats were the ones that had escaped from the supernatural jail. They were sent into this strange space like Zhao Yao and the rest.

    ¡°Ares and the others have been caught?¡± Zhao Yao frowned. ¡°They still have their powers and intelligence, it means that when Project X¡¯s cats caught them, they imprisoned them here for Project X to take their powers.¡±

    ¡°But, what happened to Zhao Xue?¡± Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes and what was thousands of meters away became clear. He saw the ragged clothes and saw that there were blood stains.

    Upon seeing this, Zhao Yao understood. ¡°It is because of the Ultra Rapid Regeneration that they can¡¯t kill her, hence they captured her instead?¡±

    Looking at this, Zhao Yao rubbed his chin and thought to himself, ¡°If I go and save them now... We still will not be able to escape this space and we will rm Project X.

    If I don¡¯t save them and wait here, Project X wille sooner orter.¡±

    Thinking of this Zhao Yao clenched his fist and said, ¡°However, that way, I will have to risk the other cats being caught by Project X and having their powers and intelligence taken from them.¡±

    ¡°Especially Matcha, if his powers are taken away...¡±

    ¡°I will have to try and see if I can attract Project X over.¡±

    Zhao Yao crushed the wall beside him with his palms, restrained his intentions to kill and retreated into the darkness.

    Then, he sneaked in and approached the cage. He stopped at a hole near the cage and looked at the supercats in the cage. He saw that except for Lucifer and Zhao Xue, all the other cats were unconscious.

    Lucifer was only closed in a cage, whereas Zhao Xue was tied down by hundreds of metal wires and her skin was bleeding constantly and healing.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s gaze grew cold and he resisted the temptation to kill. He chatted with the cats privately. ¡°Don¡¯t say anything. It¡¯s me.¡±

    Lucifer let out an excited expression but concealed it quickly. Zhao Xue was slightly startled. Ever since she had be a feline girl, she gained the ability tomunicate telepathically.

    As for the other cats, they were still unconscious on the floor.

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°How did you guys get caught?¡±

    ¡°It is the two cats who control shadows and gravity.¡± Lucifer was agitated. ¡°They attacked me together. If not, how could I have been captured? Ares, Dust Ball, Noodle, and Zhao Xue were all caught this way.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded. Looks like Coffee, ughter, and Shadow¡¯s original bodies were in this strange dimension. All of them had powers perfect forbat.

    And for the three cats and the dog that had been captured, only Ares had the ability to fight with them. Although Zhao Xue had strong defense, physically she had too many weaknesses.

    After being sent into the dimension, Ares had been attacked by the two cats. Ares was careless and it was normal that he lost. Even if it had been Zhao Yao, he couldn¡¯t have been on guard for every attack from the shadows.

    Zhao Yao nodded. ¡°What about Ares and the rest? Can they wake up?¡±

    Zhao Xue said, ¡°I think they have been injected with tranquilizers. They can¡¯t wake up now.¡±

    ¡°Lucifer is fine?¡± Zhao Yao asked in surprise.

    Lucifer answered, ¡°They probably think that I am not a threat, hence they did not inject me with it.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded. ¡°Okay, you guys listen up...¡±

    ...

    In theplex Fortress Nightmare, Xiao Yu and Nekomata turned into spirit form and were passing through the walls.

    ¡°Why is there no end?¡± Xiao Yuined. ¡°Where are we?¡±

    Nekomata looked at the surrounding dimension curiously. ¡°I think we have been transferred into another dimension.¡±

    Then, countless ghosts chased them and Momo looked at Xiao Yu and Nekomata as he ordered. ¡°Rip them apart!¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, after Matcha got rid of Coffee, he sat down in fear.

    Lightning was shouting from afar. ¡°Wow, Matcha you are powerful.¡±

    Matcha patted his chest and said, ¡°Of course. I am always joking around you guys. Do you really think I am useless?¡±

    ¡°Okay I get that you are powerful.¡± Lightning said, ¡°Come and help me quickly. I can¡¯t move.¡±

    Matcha walked up, looked at Lightning who had turned into a sea urchin and fell silent.

    Lightning asked anxiously. ¡°How? Do you have any way to help? It hurts whenever I move.¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°Why not I look for something and I shall push you around.¡±

    ¡°Do you want me to die from the pain!¡± Lightning eximed.

    Matcha said helplessly. ¡°Then, how long will it take for you to return back to normal.¡±

    ¡°As long as the power depletes itself.¡±

    ¡°How long is it going to take?¡±

    Lightning answered proudly. ¡°You charge me for five minutes, I have power for ten hours.¡±

    Matcha turned and wanted to leave. Lightning panicked. ¡°Matcha don¡¯t leave me! Save me!¡±

    When Matcha heard him, he ran even faster. Lightning raged. ¡°Stupid cat! Stop there!¡±

    ¡°You still want to escape? I am going to go back and tell Zhao Yao how much money you took from the store!¡±

    Then, Matcha halted and ran back to Lightning.

    Lightning was delighted. ¡°Matcha! I knew you wouldn¡¯t leave me!¡±

    ¡°No!¡± Matcha panicked. ¡°There¡¯s another one!¡± Then, he hid behind Lightning.

    Lightning looked at the direction where Matcha came from and saw a shadow emerging from the darkness. It got nearer and nearer,rger andrger.

    Matcha and Lightning swallowed their salivas and stared at the shadow tensed.

    ¡°At least my Time Freeze has cooled down.¡± Matcha thought to himself. ¡°When this guy appears, I can hammer him till he dies.¡±

    Then, when the figure walked out, Matcha and Lightning rxed.

    Fish Ball ran over to Matcha and Lightning. He eximed in joy, ¡°Matcha! I have finally found you!¡±

    Fish Ball hugged Matcha and looked shocked when he saw Lightning. ¡°What a huge durian!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s me!¡± Lightning answered in exasperation. ¡°How bad is your eyesight?¡±

    ¡°What!? It¡¯s Lightning?¡± It was the first time Fish Ball saw Lightning in this state. He looked at Lightning curiously. ¡°What power is this? Do you y with the female cats like this?¡±

    Matcha looked at Fish Ball disapprovingly. ¡°Chey, he has to be one of the most useless cat. If we were to meet Sphynx cat, Elizabeth, or Ares we would be good. Of course, it would be better to meet Zhao Yao.¡±

    The three cats exchanged their experiences and Matcha called the final shots. ¡°Staying here is not a solution. We have to find the others.¡±

    Lightning asked, ¡°What about me? I can¡¯t move now.¡±

    After a few minutes, there was a rope on Lightning and Fish Ball and Matcha was biting on the rope, pulling Lightning along.

    After a while, they stopped again.

    They saw a cat walking towards them in the darkness.

    Matcha was rmed. ¡°Fish Ball, you need to shine in his face. The moment you shine on him, I willunch my Time Freeze. By then, I will throw Lightning over...¡±

    When Matcha turned, he saw that Fish Ball had retreated by about thirty meters.

    ¡°What! So unreliable.¡± Matcha turned and stared into the darkness. Then, Matcha saw a cat in blue fur standing in front of him. The blue cat was sticking his face on Matcha¡¯s face.

    Looking at Project X, Matcha swallowed hard and smiled awkwardly. ¡°You are awesome.¡±

    As Zhao Yao had shared his intelligence to other supercats, they were aware of Project X¡¯s Active Superpower Rip and Passive Superpower Duplication. Judging his distance from Project X, Matcha understood that Project X had duplicated his Time Freeze so he had no intention to use it.

    Project X sized up Matcha carefully and said, ¡°You know Time Freeze?¡±

    Matcha said sorrowfully, ¡°Big Brother, you got the wrong cat. I am Fish Ball and my superpower is to give off light. The cat with Time Freeze has fled. If you chase him, you might be able to catch up with him.¡±

    Project X smiled and found this tomcat rather interesting. He lifted Matcha¡¯s mouth and said, ¡°You can give off light? Show me.¡±

    Matcha opened his mouth and gave a forced smile, revealing his shiny teeth.

    Project X sneered but found Matcha¡¯s smile photogenic.

    A ray of light beam shot over and covered Project X¡¯s eyes.

    Fish Ball blinded Project X with his light and charged towards him with a small hammer.

    ¡°Let go of Matcha!¡±

    Fish Ball roared furiously and smashed the hammer on Project X as Matcha eximed in shock, ¡°Don¡¯t!¡±

    Bam!

    Fish Ball¡¯s body was prated by Project X¡¯s ws and the hammer in his mouth fell to the ground.

    Project X said emotionlessly, ¡°Trash.¡± He flung his ws and tossed Fish Ball away like a torn flour sack.

    Ah! Matcha roared and activated Time Freeze to save Fish Ball. However, he was grabbed by Project X who also activated Time Freeze.

    ¡°Don¡¯t try anymore,¡± Project X said. ¡°His artery¡¯s bleeding profusely so he can onlyst slightly more than ten seconds. And... don¡¯t waste my Time Freeze.¡±

    He looked at the still environment and shut off the Time Freeze. He was puzzled as he thought, ¡°Why are we sharing the same cooling down period? Perhaps... it isn¡¯t an ordinary Time Freeze?¡±

    After Project X had duplicated Time Freeze, he was sharing the same duration of the Time Freeze as Matcha and Zhao Yao.

    Matcha struggled wildly in Project X¡¯s grasp as he wanted to save Fish Ball.

    Fish Ball lifted his head to look at the sky and said in a daze, ¡°Ma... Matcha... I am in pain...¡±

    ¡°Argh!!!¡± Matcha opened his mouth and bit Project X¡¯s palm viciously.

    Project X looked indifferently as Matcha bit his palm and said, ¡°Are you sad?¡±

    Matcha continued biting Project X and red at him with extreme hatred.

    Project X frowned. For some unknown reason, he felt uneasy and said unexpectedly, ¡°Do you want him to live?¡±

    Matcha was dumbfounded and said, ¡°Are you able to save Fish Ball?¡±

    Project X smiled and said, ¡°Piece of cake.¡± He extended his finger towards Fish Ball and the tip of his finger cracked open. A drop of fresh blood dripped on Fish Ball¡¯s body.

    The blood multiplied and grew rapidly intorge pieces of flesh, sealing Fish Ball¡¯s wounds, as though they were Fish Ball¡¯s own flesh and blood. Even the fur grew and Fish Ball looked intact.

    ¡°Fish Ball!¡± Matcha pounced over to Fish Ball as Project X released his grasp.

    Seeing Matcha¡¯s joy, Project X curled up the sides of his mouth and thought, ¡°Interesting orange cat.¡±

    Fish Ball looked at himself in disbelief and looked at Project X and Matcha in shock.

    Matcha said, ¡°Don¡¯t look anymore! Your wounds have healed! You scared me!¡±

    ¡°Nope.¡± Fish Ball said telepathically, ¡°I am not astonished by my healing. Didn¡¯t you discover that Project X...¡±

    ¡°... likes you a lot.¡±

    Matcha eximed, ¡°What?¡± He quickly shook his head and said, ¡°What crap is that? He is the final BOSS, the most evil and destructive monster. Why would he go for such things?¡±

    ¡°I am not wrong.¡± Fish Ball patted Matcha¡¯s shoulders and said, ¡°With my rich experience, he is definitely interested in you. We shall see.¡±

    Matcha looked back with hesitation and saw Project X walk to Lightning¡¯s side. He looked at Matcha and asked, ¡°Is he your friend? Shall I heal him?¡±

    Seeing Matcha nod, Project X lifted his right hand and shed all of Lightning¡¯s fur with his scissors hand. As Project X had the electromaism superpower, he was immune to super static electricity.

    ¡°Matcha!¡± Fish Ball looked seriously at Matcha and said, ¡°The responsibility of saving the world and safeguarding righteousness is in your hands.¡±

    ¡°Why am I given the responsibility?¡± Matcha shouted telepathically. ¡°What about you? Why don¡¯t you take over instead?¡±

    ¡°I will be behind you giving support. When the timees, I will help push your buttocks.¡± Matcha¡¯s face turned sour as Fish Ball quickly added, ¡°Of course, if you aren¡¯t happy with the arrangement, I can push his buttocks.¡±

    Matcha turned to look at Project X and yelled, ¡°Hey, there is a trash can here. Could you help me to clear it?¡±

    Project X was bewildered.

    Fish Ball quickly said, ¡°Nothing, it¡¯s alright! Matcha is a bit shy today!¡±

    Matcha jabbed Fish Ball¡¯s chest with his ws.

    Fish Ball cried out in pain, ¡°Don¡¯t jab me. I was seriously wounded! What if it causes an internal injury?¡±

    After being healed, Lightning quickly ran behind Matcha and Fish Ball and said puzzled, ¡°After shedding all my fur, I find Project X leering at me.¡±

    Suddenly, Project X¡¯s face turned sour and murderous intent filled his eyes.

    Fish Ball quickly pushed Matcha out and said, ¡°Sorry! Please forgive us! You can do what you want with this orange cat!¡±

    Project X ignored them and turned his head to look in the direction of the imprisoned supercats.

    ¡°You are such a scoundrel!¡±

    ¡°Would he dare?¡±

    ¡°No, he wouldn¡¯t dare!¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile in the middle of the Fortress Nightmare.

    Zhao Yao walked out and looked at the prison wardens and said, ¡°Tell Project X that he had no chance to steal the supercats¡¯ superpowers.¡±

    Zhao Yao extended his finger and flicked it in the air.

    Powerful forces were emitted from his fingertip and shot out like bullets. Upon impact, the prison wardens flew out.

    Zhao Yao activated Rapid Speed and charged into the cell room.

    Blood sttered from the bodies of the supercats.

    Lucifer¡¯s brain flew out a hundred meters andnded beside a supercat¡¯s feet. He heaved heavily and said, ¡°I... I... I feel so good... Ooops, it is so painful!!¡±

    ¡°Ah!¡± The supercats fainted when they saw the decapitated head.

    In the cage, Ares, Noodle, and Dust Ball fell to the ground, their bodies full of blood.

    The remaining supercats were stunned by the bloodbath. Seeing Zhao Yao¡¯s approach, they screamed in terror and fled in all directions.

    Seeing the fleeing cats, Zhao Yao nodded but didn¡¯t pursue them as he wanted them to bait Project X into confronting him.

    Project X¡¯s intention was to capture and rip the supercats of their superpowers. If he knew Zhao Yao was killing the supercats, he would rush over immediately.

    Even if Lucifer were decapitated, he was in no danger because of his superpower.

    Dustball, Noodle, and Ares had Zhao Yao¡¯s blood on their bodies.

    During Ultra Rapid Regeneration, Zhao Yao managed to obtainrge amount of his blood. By activating Time Freeze, he sttered blood all over their bodies to create a false bloodbath.

    Zhao Yao did not want to help Lucifer and the rest to get up. They were better off pretending to be dead as it gave them the opportunity for sneak attacks or self preservation, which was much better than moving around.

    Zhao Yao shed and entered a side passageway. He appeared to have fled but he was hiding to ambush Project X.

    ...

    Using Fortress Nightmare superpower, Project X had a real-time view of the fortress and discovered that his targeted supercats in central prison were killed. His anger boosted his murderous intent.

    He turned to look at Matcha, Fishball, and Lightning and said, ¡°Zhao Yao killed your supercat friends. I am going to stop him. All of you will follow me.¡±

    ¡°What?!¡±

    The three cats were dumbstruck to hear the news.

    Matcha said telepathically to Fishball and Lightning, ¡°It is impossible for Zhao Yao to kill his own cats as he would not do things to his disadvantage.¡±

    Fishball thought and replied, ¡°Project X doesn¡¯t seem to be lying. Perhaps he was deceived?¡±

    ¡°He must have been deceived by Zhao Yao!¡± Lightning said with confidence, ¡°Zhao Yao is a great liar and a master cat maniptor. He must have nned to trick Project X into confronting him before capturing Project X.¡±

    Seeing the three cats looking at each other strangely, Project X felt frustrated and asked, ¡°What¡¯s with you? Is there any problem?¡±

    ¡°Nothing, nothing.¡± Matcha quickly replied and thought, ¡°Let¡¯s follow him and coordinate with Zhao Yao to trick him into defeat.¡±

    The three cats agreed to follow Project X and he nodded. Suddenly, the back of Project X protruded withrge pieces of flesh and three clones squirmed out andnded on the ground.

    Project X ran towards the central prison while the three clones carried the cats and followed behind.

    Matcha shouted indignantly, ¡°Hey! Please behave yourself and stop touching my buttocks! I am almost s*itting myself.¡±

    ...

    30,000 meters in the sky above Jianghai.

    A silver streamlined flying object flew at a high speed. In the flying object, numerous sophisticatedponents were installed on a feline robot.

    The grey feline robot¡¯s chest was imprinted with therge words ¡°Doll¡±. Doll created this anti-electromaic mecha with astonishing speed.

    ¡°The processes of transportation, development, design, and construction are finallypleted.¡± Doll¡¯s consciousness floated around in the feline robot and he ordered, ¡°Headless, did you find Kun Wu or Project X?¡±

    ¡°I found them, Master, but their situations are not good.¡±

    Surveince images of the Cat Wondend turning into a dark huge castle appeared in front of Doll. Two of the images showed Kun Wu entering the wondend and Project X leading a siege of the wondend with the prison cats.

    Doll frowned and asked, ¡°What kind of castle is this?¡±

    ¡°It has the structure of an unknown dimension,¡± Headless said. ¡°It absorbed all electromaic waves and radiation to prevent all types of probing. We have lost contact with all our robot scouts.¡±

    ¡°Prepare the smart backup,¡± Doll said, ¡°... for a deeper look inside the castle.¡±

    Headless reminded him, ¡°If we lose the inte and long range connection to the server, the mecha¡¯sputing power will fall by more than 99%. Master, are you sure you want to do this?¡±

    ¡°Not ¡®we¡¯, you,¡± Doll said. ¡°Back yourself up before entering. I will wait for good news from you outside.¡±

    Headless was dumbfounded.

    ...

    Kun Wu was running and came to a stop as her body quivered.

    ¡°How could this have happened?¡±

    She saw the horrifying image in the middle of the fortress via Project X¡¯s vision just now.

    Lucifer¡¯s head was cut and three other cats fell to the ground, their bodies full of blood.

    ¡°The Headless Horseman is a devil!¡± Kun Wu¡¯s eyes were filled with hatred. To stop Project X, he killed his own cats?¡±

    ¡°What shall I do? What shall I do?¡± Kun Wu was feeling hopeless as she thought, ¡°The Headless Horseman is a devil and Project X is not a good cat either. Why are the powerful apostles bad eggs in this world?¡±

    As Kun Wu was sighing and feeling hopeless, suddenly her vision became dark. She saw ghostly shadows emerging from the walls in front and diving headlong into the opposite wall.

    ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± Kun Wu jumped in fright and backed up. ¡°Doll¡¯s nano robots are here?¡±

    A small girl¡¯s head popped up from the floor and looked at Kun Wu as she said, ¡°Oh! Such a beautiful cat.¡±

    Kun Wu jumped in fright again and retreated as she asked bewildered, ¡°Who are you? Why did youe out from the ground?¡±

    Xiao Yu was pleasantly surprised and said, ¡°Ah? You can speak?¡± She happily said, ¡°My name¡¯s Xiao Yu and this is my superpower. Little cat, what¡¯s your name?¡±

    The small girl¡¯s smile was so innocent that Kun Wu let down her guard. She touched her chest and said, ¡°Kun Wu, I am the God of Cats. Why is a small kid like you appearing here?¡±

    Xiao Yu said sorrowfully, ¡°I don¡¯t know. I was separated from my parents and came here identally.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Kun Wu said with concern, ¡°Follow me then, this ce is too dangerous for a young kid like you. You will be safer if you follow me.¡±

    Xiao Yu happily nodded in agreement and her head climbed out of the floor smiling.

    In the space below the ground, Xiao Yu pinched firmly on the struggling Momo and a few spirits who had just escaped.

    Xiao Yu popped her head back underneath the floor and scolded them fiercely, ¡°Stop struggling! If you move again, I will stew you!¡±

    Momo felt exasperated. Looking at Xiaoyu, Momo thought angrily, ¡°If was in my tip top condition, would I be afraid of a student? This is infuriating!¡±

    After threatening Momo and the spirits, Xiao Yu threw them on the ground, ¡°Nekomata, keep a close watch on them! If any of them dares to escape, chop off her cat head first!¡±

    Momo screamed, ¡°You devil!!¡±

    Xiao Yu stuck her head back in and said to Kun Wu, ¡°Kun Wu, you¡¯re so nice. Can I hug you?¡±

    Kun Wu saw the innocent look on her face and nodded. Xiao Yu emerged fully from the floor and hugged Kun Wu.

    Kun Wu thought to herself, ¡°Children are so innocent and kind. Perhaps children are the only people we can trust in this world?¡±

    Behind Kun Wu¡¯s back, Xiao Yu smiled devilishly.

    ¡°What a unique-looking cat. You should be able to fetch a high price with your looks.¡±

    ¡°No, selling her off at once would be a loss. Maybe I should hand her over to Zhao Yao and let this cat serve customers at the Cat Wondend. That would surely earn a lot more money.¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao crawled quietly in the darkness, concentrating on the main hall in front of him as he listened intently to all that was happening within a one kilometer range.

    In the main hall, Dust Ball, Ares, and Noodle were still unconscious after being tranquilized. Zhao Yao had no intention of waking them up either.

    Lucifer had already found his head and fixed it back on before lying in a pool of blood.

    Zhao Xue¡¯s body looked like it was still wrapped in countless steel bands but in actual fact they had already been cut open by Zhao Yao.

    At that moment, meowing sounds came from afar. Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes focused as he stared at the hole where the meowing sounds came from.

    ¡°Are you here, Project X?¡±

    What appeared before Zhao Yao was not Project X. It was Catherine and Elizabeth, who were tied up by Shadow.

    He saw hundreds of shadow threads wrapped around the two ragdoll cats¡¯ bodies as they were being dragged towards the cage prison.

    Earlier on, Project X gave up chasing Elizabeth and the rest as he wanted to catch Matcha, who had the power of Time Freeze. He left the job of catching them to Shadow, who did not disappoint as he seeded in his mission and caught them.

    Afterall, the ability to control shadows had the upper hand over Catherine and Elizabeth¡¯s powers.

    Especially since Project X forewarned Shadow of Catherine¡¯s ability to induce sleep, Shadow could just avoid looking at Catherine in the eye.

    Furthermore, Elizabeth¡¯s power of illusion had a slower precedence rate. For a supercat that could turn into a shadow, her powers were effectively useless against him.

    Zhao Yao frowned, ¡°It¡¯s not Project X? Is this a trap?¡± He sniffed and listened for a bit but did not sense any other cats nearby.

    When he saw Shadow scream in shock and quicken his pace upon seeing the unconscious supercats, Zhao Yao knew he could not hesitate any longer.

    Zhao Yao activated Time Freeze as soon as he flew off. In the world of Time Freeze, where everything came to a standstill, Zhao Yao used his shocking physical abilities to rip apart the shadow threads on Catherine and Elizabeth¡¯s bodies, rescuing both cats.

    He ced Catherine in front of Shadow.

    When time resumed its flow, the first thing Shadow saw was Catherine, who had appeared in front of him all of a sudden. He fell into a nap at once, revealing his physical form. Zhao Yao caught him at once and twisted him unconscious before throwing him aside.

    Zhao Yao did not let his guard down after doing all this. The muscles on his body tensed up as he switched to the power of Ultra Rapid Regeneration, expecting a surprise attack. However, nothing happened.

    Only Elizabeth and Catherine pounced on Zhao Yao, meowing incessantly at him.

    Zhao Yao frowned, ¡°It¡¯s really a coincidence? My luck is not bad, I actually managed to get rid of one of Project X¡¯s henchmen.¡±

    ...

    At the moment when Zhao Yao had just activated Time Freeze...

    Project X, who was running with the three cats in his arms, felt the effects of the Time Freeze as well.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? I didn¡¯t activate Time Freeze.¡± Project X was confused for a moment as he turned to Matcha, ¡°There¡¯s no need for him to activate Time Freeze as well...¡±

    Matcha thought, ¡°Is Zhao Yao activating Time Freeze?¡± Seeing Project X turn his gaze on him, Matcha immediatelyughed out loud as he understood at once, ¡°No, I must cover for Zhao Yao, I can¡¯t let Project X know Zhao Yao has rbination abilities...¡±

    Matcha immediately responded to Project X¡¯s questioning look, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? I activated Time Freeze for fun just to test it out, in case anything¡¯s wrong with it...¡±

    Project X narrowed his eyes. Although he did not have the ability to read minds, he had Sphynx cat¡¯s training abilities and Sang Biao¡¯s physical evolution powers which was constantly enhancing his physique and perceptiveness by leaps and bounds. Hence, he could easily sense Matcha¡¯s uneasiness.

    ¡°He¡¯s... lying?¡±

    Next, Project X focused his vision on the whole of Fortress Nightmare, giving him a bird¡¯s eye view of everything that was happening within the fortress.

    The situation in the center of the fortress immediately caught Project X¡¯s attention. Zhao Yao¡¯s actions were too obvious in a world of standstill.

    ¡°Zhao Yao activated Time Freeze? But... why?¡± Project X recalled how Zhao Yao activated the Ultra Rapid Regeneration power back in the Cat Wondend.

    ¡°He was also the one who sted ughter right? At that time, besides the Ultra Rapid Regeneration, he had a very strong physique as well. Even if he was concealing his physical prowess, what exins the Time Freeze now?¡±

    Project X frowned, ¡°Apostles should only be able to borrow one kind of power, but this guy seems different from a normal apostle. Besides his strong physical capabilities, he also has the power of Ultra Rapid Regeneration and Time Freeze at the same time?¡±

    ...

    Under Doll¡¯smand, the anti-electromaic mecha arrived near Cat Wondend.

    Looking down, the whole area where the Cat Wondend had been was surrounded by numerous police cars and even military troops. However, there was nothing they could do about the ck castle that had suddenly appeared in front of them.

    Doll chuckled to himself. The anti-electromaic mecha flew out amidst cries of astonishment as it went head-first into Fortress Nightmare.

    Doll lost all contact with the anti-electromaic mecha the moment it entered the fortress.

    Headless remained in the smart backup of the mecha. He felt the camera sh ck before turning bright again. He realized that he was in a strange building.

    ¡°What a weird ce,¡± Headless thought to himself. ¡°What am I supposed to do next? I should just turn off the mecha and take a break since Master can¡¯t see me. I¡¯ll go out after the incident is over.¡±

    The next moment, Doll¡¯s will suddenly rang shrilly inside the mecha, ¡°Headless, what are you doing?¡±

    ¡°Eh??? Master, didn¡¯t you decide not toe?¡±

    ¡°I installed a temporary backup of myself so I can see what¡¯s going on in here. Who knows if you would actually do your work diligently,¡± Doll said. ¡°Start exploring this space and locate Kun Wu and Project X.¡±

    The next moment, 16 openings opened up as nano detectors flew out from them, spreading out at super speed across all the channels around the mecha. Sonar and electromaic waves radiated from these detectors to detect theyout of the ce, transmitting the information gathered to the mecha.

    Every time it reached a fork, the nano detectors would split into two, venturing into different forks as they continued to detect theyout of the ce.

    In Doll¡¯s vision, a giant construction diagram of Fortress Nightmare quickly materialized and expanded continuously as it became more and more detailed, more and moreplex.

    Headless: ¡°Master, I received an electromaic signal. It seems to be a phone.¡±

    ¡°Send a nano detector over.¡±

    Looking at the huge missing block that suddenly appeared in the diagram, Doll asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on there? Send the video signal over.¡±

    The next moment, arge area of holed walls and debris appeared before Doll¡¯s eyes.

 Chapter 805: The Time Freeze Duel

    ¡°This...¡±

    Looking at the floors that seemed to have been destroyed by a monster, Doll remarked in astonishment, ¡°Did a huge battle happen?¡±

    ¡°Headless, resume motion path.¡±

    All sorts of images of broken ceilings and destroyed walls appeared before Doll.

    ¡°Such speed and power is something even Project X can¡¯t achieve. Who was the one fighting?¡±

    At that moment, the nano detector stopped in front a phone in the debris.

    Doll nced at the phone screen andmanded, ¡°Unlock the phone and see what¡¯s inside.¡±

    Very soon, Project X and Sphynx cat¡¯s battle appeared in front of Doll.

    ¡°This...¡±

    Sphynx cat¡¯s speed was insanely fast. The video could not capture his body at first. Only Project X stood on the spot, looking like he was actively defending himself against something.

    What followed was Sphynx cat¡¯s ultimate attack, Project X¡¯s counter, Shadow¡¯s attack, his fake death, Project X¡¯s return and a string of continuous battles.

    Doll¡¯s face became even more sombre as he watched the battle through the video.

    ¡°This Project X... his capabilities became even stronger.¡±

    Doll analyzed the battle. The more he did, the more astonished he was.

    ¡°Project X¡¯s body can now have many other duplicates. The more duplicates he have, the weaker his power bes. However, by merging the shadow ability and gravitational ability, he could sessfully reassemble at any time even if he was injured. Unless he is smashed to pieces, normal injuries will not affect him at all.

    Now that he has taken Sphynx cat¡¯s abilities, his physical prowess has increased to the point that he can leap around like Sphynx cat did, which is as good as flying.

    Furthermore, this guy has very strong detection abilities within this space. It¡¯s as if he could see whatever was happening in other parts of this space. That¡¯s why he came back to kill Sphynx cat who feigned death.¡±

    ¡°If I want to kill Project X, I must kill all his other doppelgangers.¡±

    ¡°But I have to do that in such a huge space where each of his doppelgangers have the ability to merge into the shadows.¡±

    ¡°How am I supposed to do that?¡± Doll fell into despair. ¡°Project X can spot us from afar. This is obviously a losing battle.¡±

    ...

    Da!

    Da!

    Da!

    Da!

    Footsteps of paws tapping against the floor rang continuously.

    Zhao Yao subconsciously took a deep breath as the hair on his body stood on its ends.

    At that moment, his super intuition gave him a super strong repressive urge. That limitless,wless evil assaulted his senses, as if it disregarded all life on Earth.

    Zhao Xue, who was still trying to put up a strong front as first, could not help but fall to her knees and started panting heavily.

    Her eyes stared straight ahead as her mind turned nk at this moment. Her body froze up as if she was a mouse dangling from a tiger¡¯s mouth.

    Zhao Xue thought, ¡°This guy... what exactly is he? Why does he have such a strong suppressive aura?¡±

    Zhao Yao was simrly stunned, ¡°Is that you, Project X? But even if he absorbed Sphynx cat¡¯s abilities, it¡¯s impossible for him to achieve such astounding effects through training. What exactly is going on?¡±

    At the same time, Project X slowly walked out from the corridor, appearing alone in the main hall.

    His ears twitched when he saw the supercats lying in a pool of blood and immediately sensed that they were still alive.

    ¡°Humph, so you¡¯re faking murder to lure me over here?¡±

    ¡°Is he here?¡± Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes as he exchanged for the Cat Princess Dress and switched to the powers of Time Freeze and illusion. He activated the Power Up Card as well.

    Counting the previous Cat Princess Dress, once the Cat Princess Dress and the Power Up Card this time round expires, Zhao Yao would be left with only one more chance to activate the Power Up Card.

    In the world of Time Freeze, Zhao Yao did not attempt physical attacks as he fully understood Project X¡¯s abilities. He simply went slightly closer to Project X before casting the power of illusion.

    ¡°The Great Flow of Idleness!¡±

    However, to Zhao Yao¡¯s astonishment, Project X¡¯s body shed before charging towards him as he threw out his paw, raining punches on Zhao Yao¡¯s face ruthlessly.

    Project X shouted telepathically, ¡°Zhao Yao, you think you¡¯re the only one who can activate Time Freeze?¡±

    On the way here, Project X had obtained the power of Time Freeze from Matcha. He just did not take away Matcha¡¯s ability and intelligence for the time being.

    Zhao Yao grabbed his paw but immediately felt how insanely strong his opponent¡¯s powers had be. His whole body flew out at once and crashed into a wall hundreds of meters away.

    ¡°Hahahahaha!¡± Project X let out a long, raucousugh. The ground beneath his feet started breaking apartyer byyer as his whole body leapt out, catching up almost instantaneously. His pawshed out towards Zhao Yao¡¯s chest again.

    ¡°Go to Hell! Zhao Yao!¡±

    Zhao Yao stretched out both hands to block the blow. At that moment, his body dropped downwards as he cast the power of illusion, sting the Great Flow of Idleness towards the other party again.

    Project X¡¯s body shook again before his earspletely closed off. ¡°Sound wave illusions? That stuff is useless on me. Show me your true capabilities!¡±

    Bam! He stamped hard against the wall behind him and flew out like a cannonball as the wall behind exploded him, crashing directly into Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao blocked Project X¡¯s paw with one hand as he grabbed him by the head with his other hand and screamed, ¡°Project X!!¡± The next moment, he crashed his head ruthlessly against Project X¡¯s head. With a loud explosion, both cat and man fell through the ground, breaking through three storeys at once andnding in darkness.

    However, the two did not stop fighting in the dark. Enormous waves of power crossed between cat and man, destroying everything in their path.

    The destructive power from their battle was 10 times scarier than that of Sphynx cat¡¯s explosive power.

    However, Zhao Yao could feel that Project X¡¯s fighting power was constantly upgrading. His power, speed, explosiveness, and reaction time was improving every second, suppressing Zhao Yao bit by bit.

    ¡°I can do all that you can!¡± Project X screamed wildly telepathically. ¡°My powers are constantly improving. What right do you have to fight against me?¡±

    Bam! His paw mmed mercilessly on Zhao Yao¡¯s face, sending him flying outwards. However, Project X caught up in no time and continued sting an avnche of attacks on him.

    ¡°Too weak, too weak, too weak! Zhao Yao, you¡¯re too weak!¡± Project X unleashed a blizzard of attacks while bellowing telepathically, ¡°Do you see this? This is undefeatable power and an ever-evolving body!

    I can no longer perish and can even control time! This whole is destined to be mine!¡±

    Zhao Yao was focused on defense as he cowered up. There was no sign of panic on his face.

    Seeing as the 12 seconds of Time Freeze was about to run out, Zhao Yao finally smiled.

    ¡°Project X!¡± Zhao Yao taunted him, ¡°How long is the duration of your Time Freeze?¡±

    Project X paused for a moment, but his punches still showed no mercy. His tail swept Zhao Yao flying out and he pursued right after, following up with a chain of attacks.

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°12 seconds? Or 96 seconds?¡±

    ¡°But now, 10 seconds have passed...¡±

    Zhao Yao counted, ¡°11 seconds...¡±

    Project X thought, ¡°His physical prowess ispletely suppressed by me, and we share the same power of Time Freeze. Does he have something else up his sleeve?¡±

    ¡°12 seconds...¡±

    Project X¡¯s frown creased deeper and deeper as an ominous feeling swelled in his heart, ¡°This guy... what is he trying to do?¡±

    The two fought on intensely, conversing telepathically at super speed as they fought beyond hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.

    However, at the next moment, Project X came to aplete standstill before Zhao Yao. His paw was only 0.01cm away from Zhao Yao¡¯s face.

    ¡°Project X, you can¡¯t move now right?¡± A murderous glint shed in Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes, ¡°But I now have more than 100 seconds of time to strike.¡±

    ¡°Project X!!¡±

    ¡°Go to Hell!¡±

    Zhao Yao, who had activated the Power Up Card, had his power of Time Freeze extended to 120 seconds, amounting to an astonishing total of 960 seconds of time.

    At the same time, the muscles all over Zhao Yao¡¯s body spontaneously expanded as rays of golden light symbolizing the Deflective Field wrapped around his body. His fist was zed with golden light as well as he rained down blows on Project X¡¯s head mercilessly.

    Bam! As Project X¡¯s face slowly contorted and deformed, Zhao Yao turned into an avnche of shadow punches that swallowed the immobilized Project X whole.

    Thousands of tons of energy and powerpounded mercilessly on Project X¡¯s body, as if to burst every chunk of flesh, blood, and even his cells into dust, wiping any chance of revival for him.

 Chapter 806: The Strongest vs The Weakest

    <h4>Chapter 806: The Strongest vs The Weakest</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    In the world of Time Freeze, Zhao Yao¡¯s blows rained mercilessly on Project X. The power of six cats coupled with the Power Up Card-enhanced Deflective Field was enough to st a building with one punch, while the power of one kick was enough to tten a fortress.

    Shadows of his kicks and punches enveloped Project X as his face contorted and deformed. The mad bursts of energy in each blow turned Project X¡¯s face backwards as his four limbs and torso started to deform and each of his bones and muscles started to rupture.

    ¡°You guessed it.¡±

    A hint of confidence shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes as he watched Project X deform and break apart under his punches.

    ¡°Project X¡¯s duplicating ability is split into active and passive duplication. He can even replicate a supercat¡¯s Time Freeze ability just from the apostle that borrowed the supercat¡¯s powers.¡±

    ¡°Just like what he did previously, replicating Matcha¡¯s ability from my body.¡±

    ¡°However, there was something he could not do.¡±

    ¡°Based on his performance, attitude and battle tactics, it seems that after replicating the ability from me, he had never seen the panel, never seen missions, never seen the diamond hall, nor the rewards equipment.¡±

    ¡°This means that Project X could only replicate the abilities of supercats. He can¡¯t replicate my abilities, neither can he replicate my Book.¡±

    ¡°So he has no missions, no experience points or rewards, no ability to upgrade supercats, no equipment and no additional powers like the Cat Princess Dress or Power Up Card that he could use.¡±

    At that moment, Zhao Yao had figured out the limits to Project X¡¯s replicating abilities.

    He could replicate a supercat¡¯s abilities to its maximum potential, even with Matcha, whose Time Freeze ability was upgraded to 12 seconds. As long as it was Matcha¡¯s ability, Project X would be able to replicate it.

    However, when Zhao Yao used the Book¡¯s Power Up Card to extend thesting power of Time Freeze from 12 to 120 seconds, Project X was unable to replicate this effect. Hence, Project X only had Matcha¡¯s Time Freeze ability and could not replicate the Book¡¯s powers.

    Bam! Landing onest punch on Project X, Zhao Yao had at this point used up 40 seconds of Time Freeze, including the 12 seconds from earlier on.

    When time resumed its flow, Project X only felt a sudden, extreme pain in his body before he lost all feeling in his organs, blood and flesh, exploding in a cloud of blood and flesh.

    ¡°Despicable!!¡±

    ¡°After my Time Freeze ended, his Time Freeze actually continued to run?¡±

    ¡°Why did this happen? How did his Time Freeze exceed 12 seconds?!¡±

    mes of anger raged in Project X¡¯s heart at the thought of being bashed into pieces alive by a mere human.

    ¡°Zhao Yao! I want to swallow you whole!¡±

    Whoosh! In that instant when his physical body was battered into dust, the shadow beneath Project X¡¯s feet contorted and shot out countless shadow spikes that reached for Zhao Yao¡¯s shadow.

    However, right at the moment Project X attacked, he saw a cute ragdoll cat in Zhao Yao¡¯s arms.

    ¡°It¡¯s that cat... d*mn it!!¡±

    Project X¡¯s vision cked out as he emerged from the shadows. However, Project X¡¯s physique was far stronger than her powers, hence he immediately awoke from the nap he fell into.

    However, this tinyg in time was enough for Zhao Yao to activate Elizabeth¡¯s controlling power as his eyes shed red. Project X was immobilized on the spot, much to his astonishment.

    ¡°One down.¡± Zhao Yao sighed in relief but did not attack the Project X that was held in control immediately. Instead, he shifted his attention elsewhere.

    Just as he expected, once this Project X had been caught from the shadows, footsteps echoed through the passageway as three other Project X¡¯s walked towards him.

    Especially after seeing thest Project X, a murderous glint shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes.

    Three cats, Lightning, Fish Ball and Matcha, were held tightly in that Project X¡¯s arms, unable to escape. However, judging from the three cats soulful eyes and expressions, their intelligence seemed to be intact.

    ¡°So he caught Lightning, Fish Ball, and Matcha?¡± Zhao Yao frowned slightly. Although he was very happy that the three cats appeared unharmed, he was puzzled as to why Project X did not just take away their intelligence.

    ¡°If I¡¯m Project X, even if I don¡¯t kill my opponents, I would want to rob them of their abilities and intelligence and turn them into normal cats. So why is this happening? Or is he trying to threaten me?¡±

    The three Project Xs walked over and stared at Zhao Yao at the same time, ¡°Zhao Yao, your capabilities were indeed beyond my expectations. However the attack you did during the Time Freeze just now, how many times can you continue doing that? If you can kill one of my doppelgangers each time you did that, how many of me can you continue to kill?¡±

    Another Project X continued, ¡°And this targeted controlling superpower. It can only control one cat at a time right?¡±

    As they said that, the two Project Xs had slowly advanced forward, nking Zhao Yao on both sides.

    ¡°Elizabeth, don¡¯t strike first, I will test the capabilities of these doppelgangers first,¡± Zhao Yao told Elizabeth telepathically as he narrowed his eyes, controlling the Project X that he had subdued as they moved towards the other two Project Xs.

    In an instant, the two doppelgangers of Project X and the Project X that was being controlled by Zhao Yao fought against him. The three cats and one man scuffled amidst howling blows as intense energy crossed between them. Huge chunks of walls broke apart, stirring shock and fear amongst the supercats that were watching the battle from the side.

    However, Zhao Yao was more shocked than any of them.

    ¡°The fighting power of these two doppelgangers are about the same as the Project X in the Time Freeze previously.¡±

    ¡°No, they¡¯re actually slightly stronger. Is it because of the training ability?¡±

    ¡°But, how exactly did he do it? Can each doppelganger be as strong as his actual self?¡±

    ¡°No, fighting them head-on like this won¡¯t work. Fighting each doppelganger head-on like this is too much a waste of time and energy. It¡¯s impossible to kill Project X like this, especially since his body is constantly evolving.¡±

    Between blows, Project X smiled and taunted, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Feeling hopeless? Do you understand how undefeatable I am now? You¡¯re a mere human. How could you win against me?¡±

    Bam! As they exchanged blows, Project X merely retreated a few steps while Zhao Yao was sent flying out more than hundreds of meters.

    As Zhao Yao flew out, Project X activated Time Freeze again.

    Looking at the immobilized Zhao Yao, Project X¡¯s lips curled into a smile.

    ¡°Your strongest point is also your weakness,¡± Project X slowly walked up to Zhao Yao. Looking at his immobilized body, he said calmly, ¡°Matcha¡¯s Time Freeze abilitysts as long as itssting time. Although I don¡¯t know how you managed to extend the duration of the Time Freeze, you showed me that your Time Freezests longer than mine.¡±

    ¡°12 seconds have passed. I can still activate Time Freeze again, but you?¡±

    The next moment, both Project Xs stood to the left and right of Zhao Yao in a sh. They extended their paws, pressing on Zhao Yao¡¯s face and chest.

    ughter¡¯sser beam ability was activated and white sts of high-energyser beams shot out from the paws of both Project Xs, sting his face mercilessly. Theser beams reached thousands of degrees in temperature as they spread out instantly, enveloping Zhao Yao¡¯s body entirely.

 Chapter 807: Affection

    <h4>Chapter 807: Affection</h4>

    Under Time Freeze, Zhao Yao¡¯s Time Freeze ability was still in it¡¯s cooling off period, hence he was unable to activate the Ultra Rapid Regeneration ability. Zhao Yao¡¯s body visibly melted and dissipated into puffs of bloody smoke in the air as the high-energyser beams sted his body.

    For Project X, Zhao Yao¡¯s strong physique withstood the attack for 10 seconds under Time Freeze. Rtive to his own Time Freeze, Zhao Yao actually withstood the attack for 80 seconds.

    The next moment, Zhao Yao hadpletely turned into ashes.

    However, much to Project X¡¯s surprise, it was as if the clock turned back as Zhao Yao¡¯s physique reassembled itself from the ashes and materialized in thin air. He grabbed Project X by the head and threw him out before turning to the other Project X to fight.

    ¡°He can still regenerate and revive?¡± Project X was shocked. ¡°He could enter the Time Freeze mode immediately after regeneration. Is this a derivative power of Matcha¡¯s? This orange cat is getting more and more interesting.¡±

    After Matcha¡¯s regeneration ability was activated, it would immediately enter the Time Freeze mode. Zhao Yao made use of this special characteristic to activate Time Freeze again, even as his body was being burnt into pieces.

    Project X¡¯s 12 seconds of Time Freeze passed in a sh. Using his own extended duration of Time Freeze, Zhao Yao crushed the two doppelgangers of Project X into puddles of flesh and blood. Even so, he did not look happy at all.

    ¡°I can¡¯t continue fighting like this. Fighting with Project X based on regeneration and brute force is meaningless. I have to change to a different fighting style.¡±

    Time resumed its flow. Another two doppelgangers emerged from Project X¡¯s shadows.

    ¡°This is never-ending. What¡¯s up with Sang Biao¡¯s physical evolution abilities? Can he really create physical doppelgangers endlessly?¡±

    As Zhao Yao and the other Project Xs fought beyond a thousand meters, breaking walls and destroying everything in their path, Elizabeth slowly sat up in the main hall as she stared at Matcha, Fish Ball, and Lightning, who were still in Project X¡¯s arms.

    The three cats were, however, unconscious. Project X seemed to sense Elizabeth¡¯s gaze as he turned towards her and spoke calmly, ¡°You better stay where you are and not move an inch. Or else I will have no choice but to rob you of your ability and kill you on the spot.¡±

    Elizabeth had no intention of moving. Although she could control the other party right now, she could not be sure that there were no other Project Xs around them.

    She just activated her power of illusion and removed Matcha, Fish Ball, and Lightning¡¯s five senses before transmitting her own voice into their consciousness to awaken them and drag them into her illusion.

    The three cats woke up very quickly. When they opened their eyes, it was pitch-ck all around, except for the glowing Elizabeth before them.

    Matcha asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on? How did you appear, Elizabeth? Am I dreaming?¡±

    Fish Ball replied, ¡°You idiot, it must be an illusion! Elizabeth, what¡¯s the situation now?¡±

    Elizabeth briefly exined to them before she asked, ¡°What are you guys doing? Why is Project X hugging you all? And he hasn¡¯t even took away your intelligence?¡±

    Matchaughed awkwardly as he said, ¡°Maybe he thinks we¡¯re handsome and smart so it would be a waste if we turned into normal cats...¡±

    ¡°Idiot! Do you think this is a time to tell lies?¡± Fish Ball smacked the back of Matcha¡¯s head with his paw as he told Elizabeth, ¡°Based on my experience in dating cats, I am 99% sure that Project X is in love with Matcha.¡±

    ¡°What?!¡± Elizabeth was in disbelief, ¡°That weird cat won¡¯t even spare a second nce at me, why would he like Matcha?¡±

    ...

    Outside the illusion...

    Project X nced at Elizabeth from afar. Seeing that she remained on her spot, he frowned and thought to himself, ¡°This female cat is so annoying. Why does she keep staring at me?¡±

    ...

    In the illusion...

    Fish Ball exined the situation before he concluded, ¡°I am very sure about this. This guy is gay and he likes the ordinary-looking, next-door orange cat type, just like Matcha.¡±

    Matcha was annoyed when he heard Fish Ball¡¯s words. He pointed to his droopy ears and said indignantly, ¡°Look at this pair of folded ears. Look at them! Look at these ears and touch your heart before you speak. How could you say they¡¯re ¡®ordinary-looking¡¯?¡±

    Fish Ball walked up to him and chomped down on Matcha¡¯s ears, straightening them at once. ¡°Don¡¯t touch your ears so carelessly. What if Project X doesn¡¯t like your folded ears.¡±

    ¡°What the f*ck!¡± Matcha burst out in rage. ¡°I don¡¯t care if he likes it or not! No one is allowed to touch my ears!¡±

    Fish Ball got into a tussle with Matcha as he said angrily, ¡°Can¡¯t you see Zhao Yao is about to lose the fight? Whether we can save the world depends on you now!¡±

    ¡°Noooo!¡± Matcha screamed angrily, ¡°Even if I¡¯m beaten to death or robbed of my intelligence and turned into an idiot I would never ever turn gay for this!¡±

    Lightning rambled at the side, ¡°Like what you guys said, Project X can manipte his physical form and turn it into anything he wants. Does that mean he can turn into a male or a female or basically any kind of cat he wants to turn into?¡±

    When he realized Fish Ball, Matcha, and Elizabeth were all staring at him disdainfully, Lightning immediately shook his head in defense as he tried to exin himself, ¡°Hey! What are you guys thinking of... Don¡¯t look at me like I¡¯m perverted. I¡¯m just making guesses!¡±

    ...

    On Doll¡¯s side, a mass of new data appeared in front of him.

    Headless reported, ¡°A 3.2 magnitude earthquake was detected. It originated from...¡±

    Doll interjected, ¡°Is Project X fighting someone else now?¡±

    Headless eximed, ¡°The machine detector located Kun Wu! But, there someone else with her.¡±

    Doll asked, ¡°Where? Bring me to her!¡±

    ...

    Bam! Bam!

    As sounds of the ground exploding boomed, Zhao Yao and Project X burst through the wall once again and returned to the center of the main hall.

    Project X smirked, ¡°Even regeneration is not endless, how many times will Matcha¡¯s ability allow you to regenerate? Twice? Once? Or none at all? We will know in the next Time Freeze.¡±

    ¡°D*mn it!¡± Zhao Yao gritted his teeth in anger. He did not expect Project X to be so hard to deal with after Project X gained Sphynx cat¡¯s abilities.

    Right at this moment, Elizabethmunicated to him telepathically, ¡°Zhao Yao! Project X has a liking for Matcha.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s first reaction was disbelief, but the next moment, his eyes shed as he recalled, ¡°It¡¯s not impossible. Sphynx cat¡¯s abilities includes reversing his sexual orientation. Since Project X robbed his abilities, he would definitely suffer from the side effects of this power. That¡¯s why he didn¡¯t kill Matcha and the rest but carried them here with him.

    He¡¯s not using Matcha and the others as hostages. He¡¯s trying to protect them.¡±

    However, affection alone was useless. From Project X¡¯s behavior, the fact that he could knock Matcha and the rest unconscious and want Zhao Yao¡¯s life showed that he was not the kind of supercat that would stop fighting just because of his affection for Matcha.

    Moreover, such affection was mainly based on Matcha¡¯s abilities. Once Project X realizes the significance behind this, even Zhao Yao would not be able to predict what Project X would do.

    ¡°But, we may be able to make use of this point.¡±

    ¡°We can make use of this point.¡±

    As Zhao Yao pondered, his eyes filled with cold light.

    Matcha felt his fur shedding and asked, ¡°What¡¯s happening? Why do I feel like someone¡¯s going to harm me?¡±

    In the next moment, Zhao Yao charged towards Elizabeth.

    Project X pursued Zhao Yao and discovered that he had dropped all defenses and braced himself for all attacks. Zhao Yao ran to the front of Elizabeth, whom Project X found disgusting and grabbed her.

    Project X wondered, ¡°What¡¯s he up to?¡±

    To Project X¡¯s surprise, Zhao Yao swiveled and dashed towards Matcha while holding Elizabeth.

    ¡°Huh?¡± Project X jumped in fright. He was worried for Matcha and readied all his superpowers as he chased after Zhao Yao.

    The shadows underneath the three clones emerged from the ground, surrounded Zhao Yao and edged towards his body.

    ¡°I think he is going to dodge the shadows.¡±

    To Project X¡¯s amazement, Zhao Yao neither defended nor dodged the shadows. He bolted towards Matcha at full speed and braced against Project X¡¯s attacks.

    Project X was unaware of Zhao Yao¡¯s intentions. However, Project X was not going to miss capitalizing on Zhao Yao¡¯s weakness.

    Bam!

    Numerous shadow spikesnded on Zhao Yao¡¯s shadow. Two of the clones pincered Zhao Yao from his left and right and prated his chest and stomach with their ws, immobilizing him.

    Although Zhao Yao¡¯s Ultra Rapid Regeneration was healing him, Project X¡¯s ws grabbed onto his bones, immobilizing him and preventing full recuperation of his wounds.

    The twobat clones and the shadows underneath locked Zhao Yao firmly in ce. The clone holding Matcha flicked out his w to explode Zhao Yao¡¯s head.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes emitted crimson rays and controlled the clone holding Matcha.

    The other clone lost control and bit Zhao Yao¡¯s neck with his sharp teeth and continued gnawing to break his neck.

    ¡°Is he suicidal?¡±

    Seeing Zhao Yao seriously wounded and unable to move, Project X looked puzzled at his clone that was controlled by Zhao Yao.

    The clone did not attack Zhao Yao. Instead, he received a scarf from Zhao Yao and covered Matcha¡¯s neck with it.

    Project X was stunned when he saw the scarfed Matcha. He was unaware that the scarf was transformed by Elizabeth, who had taken a Spicy cat strip. After wearing the scarf, Matcha would be able to entice everyone around him.

    ¡°Another... illusion? This feeling... is so pleasing...¡±

    Project X possessed superior constitution and body control. He was able to hear sound waves that normal people could not and shut off his five senses any time.

    He had acquired the Sound Wave Control superpower from the Kujyo¡¯s supercat in Japan.

    So he could shield himself from Elizabeth¡¯s illusion attacks.

    Seeing the scarfed Matcha, he had no intention to stop the illusory sound waves.

    Zhao Yao was d he had seeded.

    Project X was subjected to both Sphynx cat¡¯s superpower and Elizabeth¡¯s power of illusion.

    Sphynx cat¡¯s superpower changed Project X¡¯s character and Elizabeth¡¯s scarf boosted the effect of the change, which was part of his nature so he didn¡¯t notice it.

    Previously Zhao Yao only attacked physically and now he used psychological attacks which were harder to detect.

    ¡°Sphynx cat¡¯s sacrifice is not in vain as he left arge loophole in Project X¡¯s defenses.¡± Seeing Project X¡¯s dazed look, Zhao Yao said, ¡°Thank you, Sphynx cat.¡±

    He shouted telepathically to Matcha, ¡°Matcha, Project X is controlled by the illusion. Repeat what I am going to say next. Don¡¯t screw up.¡±

    Matcha frowned and replied, ¡°May I opt out?¡±

    ¡°If you don¡¯t obey me, I will castrate you.¡±

    Matcha thought, ¡°What a selfish Zhao Yao!¡±

    In Project X¡¯s eyes, Matcha smiled and said, ¡°Project X, would you show me your true self?¡±

    ¡°My true self?¡± The effects of the illusion,pounded by Sphynx cat¡¯s superpower, made the words of Matcha extremely convincing.

    Project X shrugged his shoulders and said, ¡°My current self is my true self.¡±

    ¡°Those are your clones.¡± Matcha followed Zhao Yao¡¯s words and said, ¡°When you merge all your clones that will be your true self. May I see it?¡±

    ¡°Merge them together?¡± Project X hesitated as his instincts wanted to screen off the sound wave illusion and finish the battle. However, a voice from the deepest part of his heart told him to follow Matcha¡¯s words.

    At this critical moment, a spirit, who was a subordinate of Momo, barged into the main hall.

    The spirit of Momo did not have powerful superpowers, however, she was able to collect spirits to form the Spirit Army by using debts.

    Project X made Momo useful by asking her to collect debts to form a small spirit unit.

    This spirit charged in and shouted, ¡°My lord! Bad news! Lady MOMO was captured!¡±

    Project X¡¯s eyes shed with rity. Using his superior willpower, he cut off the sound wave illusion and grabbed Zhao Yao¡¯s head.

    ¡°Are you fooling me?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the angry Project X and sighed as he thought, ¡°I have no choice but to resort to this.¡±

    Zhao Yao was very clear about Project X¡¯s superpowers. Besides Time Freeze, he prepared a trump card to deal with Project X.

    If the trump card was used, Project X would be wary against simr attacks. Hence, Zhao Yao was waiting for a good opportunity, the greater the number of clones the better the effect.

    At this time, he had to use the trump card. In the next Project X¡¯s Time Freeze, he would not be able to defend himself using his regeneration.

    Project X attacked the immobilized Zhao Yao who braced the attacks with boosted Ultra Rapid Regeneration. At the same time, Zhao Yao focused on his mission panel.

    Catherine, Level 6 (0/10000)

    Zhao Yao upgraded BOOK so he was able to contract new supercats.

    Before Shadow captured Catherine and Elizabeth and the arrival of Project X, Zhao Yao had contracted Catherine.

    With the upgrade of BOOK andpletion of the sessful contract, he obtained 6000 experience points. Together with his previous 3287 experience points, he upgraded Catherine to Level 6.

    To avoid Project X¡¯s suspicion, he browsed the skill tree and made Level 2 to Level 6 skill selections but didn¡¯t touch the screen.

    In order to deal with an infuriated Project X, Zhao Yao used up Catherine¡¯s skill points in one go, pushing her superpower to an astonishing level.

    Sleep Medusa Level 6: Any living things who viewed your body within 1000 meters will fall into a deep sleep for 6 seconds. After waking up, they will be in fear for 6 seconds.

    Upgrade the superpower, activate Catherine¡¯s superpower and then close his eyes.

    Zhao Yaopleted all these actions in a blink of an eye and activated Sleep Medusa. Every living thing that gazed at him fell into a deep sleep.

    Four clones of Project X fell to the ground. Another four shadowed clones, who were underneath their legs, returned back to their normal state and fell into a deep slumber.

    Everywhere in the main hall, countless shadowed clones of Project X returned to their normal state as they fell to the ground in a deep sleep.

    Even Matcha, Fish Ball, and the rest were induced into a deep sleep.

    In the main hall, only Zhao Yao was unaffected.

    As Project X was able to duplicate his superpower, he closed his eyes beforehand in order not to fall asleep.

    ¡°Project X¡¯s Passive Superpower Duplication is able to duplicate superpowers within his effective range.¡±

    ¡°Even if he is in a deep sleep, however, his passive superpower is still in effect. If I look at him, I will fall asleep.¡±

    Zhao Yao leaped gently and jumped to a height of over 30 meters in the sky.

    ¡°There should be no clones of Project X here.¡± He opened his eyes, surveyed the ground, saw more than a hundred clones and felt discouraged.

    ¡°There are too many clones.¡±

    ¡°Each clone has steel-like constitution and a hundred of them will take me a long time to kill.¡±

    Zhao Yao had underestimated the number of Project X¡¯s clones. There might be other clones located outside the main hall to be used as reinforcements.

    Fortunately, these clones were defenseless. Zhao Yao activated Great Flow of Idleness that engulfed them in the hall.

    Clones after clones stopped breathing.

    As the clones were not living things, they only lost their mobility. They did not die due to asphyxiation.

    Zhao Yao also knew that Project X would cut off his links with the clones to protect himself. The Great Flow of Idleness was only useful for sealing off these clones.

    He felt it was a great achievement to immobilize hundreds of clones.

    ¡°It is a pity... if only Matcha had managed to recall all of Project X¡¯s clones. The battle would have ended when he sealed all of them in one go.¡±

    Zhao Yao infused his seals with the Great Flow of Idleness and sealed all the clones so that he did not have to activate the superpower all the time.

    The seals of illusion was Elizabeth inherent ability, which allowed an illusion to be sealed on an object. Even if Zhao Yao did not maintain the illusion, the seal would provide the illusion.

    After sealing, he was able to activate other superpowers.

    Zhao Yao grabbed a steel column to create his seal of illusion as the six seconds of deep sleep psed. Matcha, Fish Ball, and the rest woke up meowing and running around in fear.

    This was the six seconds fear induction of the Sleep Medusa superpower.

    Matcha sprawled on the ground and said, ¡°It is finally over. I am almost scared to death.¡±

    Fish Ball and Lightningid on the ground, their faces filled with terror.

    Elizabeth and Catherine gathered around Zhao Yao and meowed, ¡°How¡¯s it Zhao Yao? Is Project X defeated?¡±

    ¡°Not yet.¡± Zhao Yao finished the sealing and shoved the supercats behind him. Then he carried Matcha and said, ¡°He¡¯s here again.¡±

    ¡°Back again?¡± Fish Ball said dejectedly, ¡°Why is he invincible? Is he too powerful? How do we defeat him?¡±

    Matcha, who was being carried in Zhao Yao¡¯s arms, felt wonderful and thought, ¡°Hmmm, Zhao Yao loves me the most. At this critical moment, he is protecting me in his arms.¡±

    Project X walked out from the middle of the passageway and gazed at Zhao Yao and the cats as he smiled sarcastically. ¡°Any more gimmicks?¡±

    Zhao Yao sneered and raised up Matcha as he said, ¡°Don¡¯te over. One more step and I will strangle this cat.¡±

    Matcha was stunned.

    Project X furrowed his brows andughed. ¡°He is your cat and the Time Freeze is a valuable superpower. I don¡¯t believe you will kill him.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t believe?¡± Zhao Yao said grimly, ¡°I have killed countless cats without any reason. You don¡¯t believe I will kill him? Good, I will burn him now!¡±

    Zhao Yao scratched the floor with his steel column, creating fire sparks that jumped on Matcha¡¯s tail.

    Matcha panicked and screamed, ¡°I¡¯m on fire! Extinguish the fire!¡± He was puzzled and thought, ¡°Huh? Why is the fire not painful? Is my willpower so powerful?¡±

    Zhao Yao said telepathically to him, ¡°I had activated my superpower to shield your feelings of pain. Pretend to scream in pain.¡±

    Matcha said anxiously, ¡°Zhao Yao, don¡¯t burn anymore. I am almost toasted!¡±

    Zhao Yao reassured Matcha and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, once the cooling down period of the Reborn superpower is over, I will beat you to death so that you can be revived. I guarantee that your tail will be better than new.¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°You want to beat me to death?¡±

    Zhao Yao coaxed, ¡°It¡¯s alright. I will numb your feelings of pain. Once you shut and open your eyes, you will be a new cat.¡±

    Project X stared at Matcha¡¯s burning tail wide-eyed, ready to charge out.

    He was stopped by Zhao Yao, who squeezed Matcha¡¯s neck and shouted, ¡°Don¡¯te over. I will kill this cat!¡±

    Project X clenched his fists and gazed at Matcha¡¯s tail that was burning with increasing ferocity. ¡°I don¡¯t believe you will kill him!¡±

    ¡°Try me!¡± Zhao Yao yelled, ¡°There is no cat in this world that I will not kill!¡±

    ¡°Be careful!¡± Fish Ball blinked his eyes at Matcha and shouted, ¡°Project X, don¡¯te near. Zhao Yao will kill Matcha!¡±

    Elizabeth added, ¡°Zhao Yao ate a kitten who was just into his first month! Don¡¯t force him. He is willing to do anything!¡±

    Project X¡¯s face turned very grave.

    Matcha fumed as he said, ¡°Are you all done? Is it time for idle chat? I am on fire! Whatever decision you are making, could you make it quick?¡±

    Project X narrowed his eyes and his murderous intent rose within him as he uttered word by word, ¡°What do you want?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Merge all your clones into your body!¡±

    Project X smiled wryly and said, ¡°Impossible.¡±

    Matcha screamed, ¡°Project X! Follow his orders! My bottom¡¯s toasted!¡±

    Project X looked grave as he pondered for a while. He gazed deeply into Zhao Yao and shouted, ¡°Okay, I hope you do as promised.¡±

    Clones came in from the darkness outside the main hall and merged into Project X.

    Though Project X imed he had recalled all clones, Zhao Yao was not convinced.

    Project X insisted he had recalled all clones so Zhao Yao was at a loss.

    The situation was in a deadlock when Bai Quan brought Roly Poly and Sheriff into the main hall.

    Bai Quan met Sheriff on his way to find Zhao Yao and he encountered the escaped supercats. With Sheriff¡¯s mind reading, he obtained information from the supercats and found his way there.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw Sheriff in Bai Quan¡¯s arms. He immediately ordered Sheriff to check if Project X was telling the truth.

    As Sheriff had to be close to Project X to read his mind, Project X was able to duplicate his mind reading. As such, both parties were reading each other¡¯s mind.

    Project X was unable to hide the truth that he had not recalled all his clones.

    With Zhao Yao pressuring him, Project X smiled wryly and recalled all his clones for merging.

    Zhao Yao took in a deep breath as he felt an immense pressure that he had not experienced before.

    The merged Project X felt as though he was a mountain that appeared from the clouds, its strength was setting off rms in Zhao Yao, warning him of Project X¡¯s superiority.

    Matcha said, ¡°Zhao Yao, I know you are busy. Do you mind helping me extinguish the fire?¡±

    ¡°Oh!¡± Zhao Yao quickly snuffed out the fire and said with embarrassment, ¡°Sorry, sorry, I am so stressed I forgot about you.¡±

    Matcha was burnt bald and his tail charred. He looked at his dismal state and said sadly, ¡°D*mn... my tail doesn¡¯t look like a tail.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s alright, it will be as good as new after Reborn superpower is activated.¡±

    Project X yelled, ¡°Have I done my part? I had merged all my clones. Will you release Matcha now?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Project X and said, ¡°Yes, please catch him...¡± At the same time, he said telepathically to his cats, ¡°Close your eyes!¡±

    He activated Sleep Medusa.

    None of the cats fell asleep, not even Project X who stared wide-eyed at Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao was surprised. ¡°You...¡±

    Project X said, ¡°The same gimmick will not work on me twice. I have shut off the connection to my optic nerves. My eyes are looking at you but I can¡¯t see you.¡±

    Zhao Yao squinted his eyes as Elizabeth¡¯s Control superpower activated. Project X¡¯s body immediately stiffened.

    Before Zhao Yao and the cats could gloat, a small clone came out from Project X¡¯s chest. Project X¡¯s clone smiled wryly and said, ¡°Don¡¯t think I¡¯m not prepared for this? I have a lot more clones in my body. How many can you control?¡±

    Seeing Zhao Yao¡¯s face turn sour, Project X swiped his tail and said, ¡°Enough, don¡¯t resist anymore. You survived so many of my attacks. You can be proud of yourself. Release Matcha and I promise you safety.¡±

    ¡°I haven¡¯t used hundreds of my superpowers. Do you think you have a chance?¡±

    Project X¡¯s body grew by a few inches and his muscles strengthened as a result of his body¡¯s training and evolution.

    Zhao Yao gritted his teeth as he fell into an emotional turmoil. All possible solutions shed through his mind but were quickly shot down.

    Zhao Yao pondered when he heard Matcha¡¯s voice. ¡°Zhao Yao, I will stay with Project X.¡±

    Zhao Yao lifted his head and stared at Matcha as he firmly said, ¡°No, I will not leave anyone behind.¡±

    ¡°We have no other choices.¡± Matcha opened his eyes widely and gave a forced smiled. ¡°It¡¯s alright. He likes me a lot. He wouldn¡¯t harm me.¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao...¡± Matcha gently pushed Zhao Yao¡¯s palm and stepped on his chest nipple. ¡°Let me go. I am the strongest supercat and the savior. If I don¡¯t save all of you, who will?¡±

    ¡°Enough Matcha.¡± Zhao Yao noticed Matcha ¡®s body trembling and caressed Matcha¡¯s head as he said, ¡°It¡¯s alright, don¡¯t worry...¡±

    As Matcha and Zhao Yao were conversing, Project X took advantage of Zhao Yao¡¯s distraction.

    Crimson rays radiated in all directions from Project X.

    The Divine Rays of Terror engulfed the entire hall.

    When Kaede Hattori dominated the Japanese supernatural realm, the power of the Divine Rays of Terror held numerous apostles in terror.

    Project Xmitted heinous crimes in the United States, Japan, and China and terrified countless people. His Divine Rays of Terror were like a blood tsunami, pungent and reeking of blood with a stench that permeated everyone¡¯s body.

    Zhao Yao lost hisposure for a moment, fortunately, his strong constitution helped him recover within a tenth of a second. He instinctively grasped Matcha firmly.

    That tenth of a second was sufficient for Project X to do a lot of harm.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s right arm and shoulders were broken and fresh blood gushed out like a fountain.

    Matcha, who was resting on Zhao Yao¡¯s broken arm, was gently ced in Project X¡¯s arms.

    ¡°Let him go!¡± Zhao Yao roared in anger as golden rays covered his body and his severed right hand regenerated. Zhao Yao grasped towards Project X with his left hand.

    Project X merely nced at Zhao Yao as he held Matcha firmly in his hands. A paw grew out from his stomach and sent Zhao Yao flying with a punch.

    Zhao Yao was shocked. ¡°His power... has increased... to a stage where he can subdue me? Is it due to merging of all his clones?¡±

    A strong gravitational force caught Zhao Yao and suspended him in mid air.

    Meow! Seeing Project X approach Zhao Yao step by step, Elizabeth rushed forward to intervene as crimson rays shed from her eyes. She controlled Project X.

    ¡°I am prepared for this move.¡± Project X¡¯s body stiffened but his stomach erupted and a clone squirmed out. He punched in the air and sent Elizabeth flying and bleeding profusely.

    ¡°Stop!¡± Matcha yelled wildly.

    Bai Quan and Zhao Xue shed behind Project X, their hands were like four pythons that slithered towards him.

    Before they were able to touch Project X, their faces were hit with high-energysers that were ten times more powerful than ughter¡¯s. Both of them fell to the ground, their bodies charred. They would require some time for their Ultra Rapid Regeneration to heal their wound.

    Matcha cried sorrowfully, ¡°Stop! Did you hear what I am saying?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry Matcha.¡± Project X caressed Matcha¡¯s head but was bitten by him. Project X smiled indifferently and said, ¡°I thought about it. Once things are done over here, I will help you remold your memories.¡±

    A shadow spike underneath Project X extended and prated the trembling Catherine.

    Matcha was full of tears as he screamed, ¡°Stop! Stop for goodness sake!¡±

    Lightning and Fishball watched everything in a daze. After a series of blurred images, everyone fell to the ground. Their vision blurred as Project X came to their front.

    Fishball said, ¡°I...¡±

    After two popping sound, Fishball and Lightning fell to the ground.

    ¡°Meow!!¡± Matcha scratched fiercely at Project X but his ws broke and blood flowed out profusely. ¡°Stop! Stop! Stop!¡±

    Project X said calmly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t kill them. I am keeping them quiet so that I can take away their superpowers.¡± Project X grasped for Lightning.

    In the dark passageway by the side, Kun Wu and Doll were dumbstruck.

    ¡°Too strong, too strong, too strong,¡± Doll said bewildered. ¡°When Project X separated into numerous clones, he was invincible. After merging all his clones, his power was God-like.¡±

    ¡°Aspared to us, Project X¡¯s power was of another dimension. We are too far behind.¡±

    ¡°We are unable to defeat him. It is impossible to kill him.

    Kun Wu was trembling and her limbs¡¯ fire extinguished as she was filled with immense terror.

    Doll said, ¡°Kun Wu, we have to think of a way to escape. I can construct a spaceship. Let¡¯s leave this. Earth is doomed.¡±

    Doll shivered uncontrobly as he was scared stiff.

    Xiao Yu and Nekomata charged forward to intercept Project X¡¯s paw.

    Doll tried to stop them but it was toote. ¡°Idiots, you are killing yourselves!¡±

    As both of them charged towards Project X, they expanded and transformed into two gigantic ghosts as they pounced on him.

    Project X frowned. He flicked his w and sent a hurtling air bullet like a howitzer shot that prated their ethereal bodies.

    ¡°Let go of Zhao Yao and his cats!¡±

    Xiao Yu¡¯s spirit squirmed into Project X¡¯s body and transformed back to her normal self to attack his organs.

    ¡°Humph, you are tired of living.¡± Project X¡¯s organs vibrated and Xiao Yu was broken down into many pieces. She was forced to transform into her spirit form to escape.

    As Xiao Yu and Nekomata were about to attack again, Project X opened his mouth and spat. ¡°Don¡¯t think you¡¯re the only ones that can transform into ghosts.¡±

    An emerald spirit emerged from Project X¡¯s mouth, expanded rapidly, and extended its hand to pin Xiao Yu and Nekomata firmly on the ground.

    His Divine Rays of Terror swept over both of them, who were so terrified that their eyes showed white and they trembled with fear, unable to move. The emerald spirit returned to Project X¡¯s body.

    Doll shook his head and said, ¡°Let¡¯s escape Kun Wu. We are defeated.¡±

    Project X smiled and extended his paw towards Lightning. He wanted to rip all supercats of their superpowers and intelligence.

    He heard footsteps and looked askance as he said, ¡°Are you looking for death?¡±

    Zhao Yao, whose right arm was growing back to normal, stood up and walked towards Project X.

    Zhao Yao heard a meow and turned to look. Mango emerged from the passageway and panicked when he saw the seriously wounded supercats. He yelled in fear as he ran towards Zhao Yao.

    Matcha was worried and shouted, ¡°Mango? Run away!¡±

    Project X shed, grabbed hold of Mango and hauled him up. ¡°Another supercat? This cat looks rather foolish. Didn¡¯t his intelligence properly develop during the Awakening?¡±

    ¡°Let him go!¡± Zhao Yao was shocked and worried when he saw Mango being captured. Then an idea came to his mind.

    His eyes were filled with hesitation, pain, and finally deep sorrow. ¡°I shall do it this way...¡±

    ¡°Project X!!!¡± Zhao Yao roared in fury and activated the illusion to induce Mango to excrete.

    Mango frowned and his whiskers stood on ends. Invisible waves emanated from him.

    Project X discovered something was amiss and backed off. He moved slightly and his body froze.

    Zhao Yao gritted his teeth and felt deep sorrow.

    ¡°Project X¡¯s active ability can rip supercats of their superpowers and intelligence while his passive ability can duplicate the superpowers of the surrounding supercats.¡±

    ¡°So Project X had duplicated Mango¡¯s superpower.¡±

    ¡°Mango transferred the excretion instinct to Project X, who passively duplicated Mango¡¯s superpower and transferred the excretion instinct back to Mango.¡±

    ¡°Both of thempounded the excretion instinct with each other. If thepounding effectsts for long, Mango will...¡±

    Within a short time, Mango¡¯s superpower increased exponentially due to thepounding effect. Nobody could determine how many times it was increased. A thousand times? A million times? Perhaps a billion times?

    Project X and Mango¡¯s bodies emitted clouds of blood mists.

    Every pore on their bodies emitted fine mists of flesh and blood at an exponential rate.

    Mango¡¯s unlimited increase of his superpower went beyond Zhao Yao and Project X¡¯s understanding. Even Project X¡¯s consciousness was excreted and he went into a daze.

    Within 100 meters of both Mango and Project X, all materials were excreted. Dimensions disappeared and time elerated as they were expelled. Both of their bodies entered a strange state.

    Zhao Yao fixed his eyes firmly on both of them as he shouted, ¡°Bai Quan, Zhao Xue! Bring them out!¡±

    Bai Quan stood up as blood foam and pieces of his internal organs gushed out while he breathed. ¡°Boss! What about you?¡±

    Zhao Yao spoke one word at a time, ¡°I want to save Mango. All of you will leave first.¡±

    ¡°But...¡± Zhao Xue opened her mouth as she looked at the dimensions shrink and disappear. She wanted to say that there was no hope for Mango but was held back when she noticed Zhao Yao¡¯s resolute back.

    Bai Quan tapped Zhao Xue¡¯s shoulders and shook his head. He grabbed Fish Ball, Lightning and the rest before leaving.

    Xiao Yu looked at Zhao Yao and shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao, what are you doing? Come with us!¡±

    Matcha and Elizabeth yelled, ¡°Zhao Yao! Leave with us!¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at them and smiled as he activated his power of illusion and induced the supercats into passing out. ¡°Xiao Yu, leave with them!¡±

    Xiaoyu¡¯s eyes turned red and she shouted, ¡°You are unable to save Mango. Leave with us!¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°I am losing Mango just to kill Project X. I will not agree to such losing terms even if I have to die.¡± He knew that only if either Mango or Project X died, would the runaway superpower stop.

    If Mango died first, Project X woulde back to life. If both of them were alive, the effects of the runaway superpower would expand and kill everyone. If both of them died, then Zhao Yao would lose Mango.

    Of all possibilities, Zhao Yao would only allow Project X to die first.

    ¡°Project X has to die.¡±

    Zhao Yao turned his head to see the disappearing bodies of Project X and Mango, who were surrounded by ayer of blood mist. The effective range of Mango¡¯s runaway superpower kept expanding. The hundreds of clones that were sealed by the Great Flow of Idleness began to explode one by one.

    Zhao Yao squinted his eyes and charged towards Mango.

    As he entered the outer range of Mango¡¯s superpower, Zhao Yao¡¯s body started to disintegrate, disappear and regenerate continuously.

    ¡°It is very powerful.¡± Zhao Yao was shocked. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t the outer range be the weakest point? My flesh is unable to withstand the damage. I have to think of another way. If this continues...¡±

    ¡°I have to try Time Freeze.¡± Zhao Yao shook his head. ¡°No, time is expelled, causing time and space to be unstable. If I activate Time Freeze and Project X goes into Time Freeze, I am actually saving him.¡±

    Zhao Yao saw the situation worsening and said helplessly, ¡°I can only try my previous solution.¡±

    Zhao Yao went forward step by step towards Mango¡¯s position as his flesh disintegrated. He let out a scream of pain.

    ¡°Even... Even the Ultra Rapid Regeneration superpower is expelled outside my body...¡± He was overwhelmed by excruciating pain and his consciousness went nk. Then his memories and consciousness were expelled outside his body.

    On the Book, the ability tree representing the power to regenerate slowly became grey.

    When Zhao Yao took a step forward, all the flesh on his body was torn and as the power to regenerate was being discharged out of his body. For the first time, Zhao Yao understood the pain of being torn into thousand pieces.

    After taking a step, Zhao Yao could no longer move. All his perseverance and will power was thrown to the back of his mind as he fell to the floor. All that was left in his brain was the pain.

    He raised his head and looked at the rming power. When he tried to get up, his consciousness was engulfed by the pain.

    Then, the Book lit up and the ability tree to regenerate lit up again.

    Zhao Yao was shocked. ¡°This is...¡±

    At the same time where the Book lit up again, Zhao Yao no longer felt pain. The feeling of incrediblefort returned to his body.

    ¡°The power of regeneration is back? Is it the effect of the Book?¡±

    However, the power of regeneration was discharged out of his body again. Intense pain seized Zhao Yao all over and every inch of his skin and flesh felt like there were knives tearing them apart.

    Then, the Book was activated again and the power of regeneration was back.

    Zhao Yao was shocked. ¡°Is my Book¡¯s fighting against the discharge power of Mango and Project X?¡±

    Thinking of this, Zhao Yao felt emboldened and walked towards Mango and Project X step by step.

    As the power regeneration was no longer discharged out of his body and the Book had returned back to normal, all the other powers were not discharged.

    Hence, during the fight between the Book and Mango/Project X, Zhao Yao walked towards the two cats with sudden pains.

    ...

    White.

    In a pure white dimension.

    Project X stood in his spot and looked across.

    There was cat who looked exactly like Kun Wu, sitting there smiling at him.

    Project X frowned. ¡°Where are we?¡±

    ¡°In your conscious.¡± The cat answered, ¡°Can you see it? Soon, it will copse.¡±

    Project X turned and looked at the vast dimension.It was all white.

    The cat asked, ¡°How? Do you regret your actions? So many efforts were destroyed by one cat.¡±

    Project X shook his head and sat down. ¡°It is okay. Even if I lose, I can feel that I have one more chance at being reborn. Even if I lose again after reborn...¡± Then he looked a up and asked the cat. ¡°What are you?¡±

    ¡°You can¡¯t remember?¡± The cat who looked like Kun Wu shook her head. ¡°I can¡¯t remember either. All I know is that I am the only one left. I should be important to you.¡±

    Project X¡¯s eyes narrowed and felt like he had forgotten something important.

    ¡°Your consciousness is about to expelled out, this is thest of what¡¯s left. We don¡¯t have much time left. ¡°The cat, who looked like Kun Wu continued, ¡°You don¡¯t need to care about me. Tell me what are you going to do when you go out?¡±

    Project X lowered his head and was analyzing the entire battle.

    ¡°With my powers. I have been hiding my clones and sending out clones to test his powers. I wanted to resolve them one by one and then kill him. This is the best strategy and at first, it was very sessful.¡±

    ¡°Too bad.¡± He touched his chest. ¡°I never expected Sphynx cat¡¯s powers would have side effects.¡±

    The cat, who looked like Kun Wu was curious. ¡°Oh? You felt it?¡±

    ¡°Yes, I was almost expelled out of my body. There was such a huge difference, I can still feel it now.¡± Project X shook his head. ¡°Because of the emotional weakness and the opponent¡¯s illusion, I fell for the illusion. I almost gathered all my clones...

    Speaking of this, Project X remembered the sleeping powers of Zhao Yao.

    Project X continued, ¡°If, at that point of time, I was really immersed in the illusion and gathered my clones then fell for the sleeping powers, I may really have died.¡±

    The supercat who looked like Kun Wu said, ¡°You are lucky that a spirit woke you up.¡±

    ¡°Luck is considered a skill too.¡± Project X said calmly. ¡°Besides, to create a battlefield that is advantageous to me is part of my battle n. If this was Zhao Yao¡¯s battlefield, he would have his own advantages.¡±

    Kun Wu said, ¡°However, you were no longer and met with a strange cat.¡±

    ¡°I... was too arrogant.¡± Project X said calmly. ¡°One is the weakest when he is at his strongest. When I gather all my clones and reach my full powers, it is also the only chance to truly kill me.

    To defeat me, they need to gather all my clones together and have powers powerful enough to fight against me. s, they did the first step but not the next.

    However, to be able to force me till this stage... they are amazing. Since I already know the powers of this strange cat, I will no longer fail.¡±

    As he spoke, the white consciousness started to copse.

    The supercat who looked like Kun Wu said, ¡°You are leaving? Best wishes.¡±

    Then, his consciousness copsed entirely. There was a distortion in the dimension and Project X was reborn. The whole world in front of him stood still.

    Project X opened his eyes and he saw the scene in front of him along with Zhao Yao, who was standing in front of him.

    ¡°Zhao Yao? Why did that strange cat disappear?¡± Project X was rmed then he searched carefully and could not feel Mango¡¯s presence. After seeing the blood trails under Zhao Yao¡¯s feet, heughed.

    ¡°He is dead? So we died together, right? You killed him? Ha ha, to protect yourself, you killed your own cat?¡±

    He looked at his surroundings and there weren¡¯t any supercats. There was only Zhao Yao. Project X was rxed. The countless battles before this had helped him understand all of Zhao Yao¡¯s powers. He was not afraid of Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao looked at Project X andughed. He took out a enema and said, ¡°You were speaking of Mango? He is here.¡±

    Project X did not understand Zhao Yao.

    Then, he heard meowinge from the enema.

    Project X was stunned. ¡°You turn your cat into this? How did you do it?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Project X pitifully and said, ¡°How sure are you that I only turned Mango like this?¡±

    ¡°You!¡± Project X felt that something was amiss. He couldn¡¯t control his body and powers!!! He never used Time Freeze but there was no else in the hall except him and Zhao Yao, so he thought Time was frozen.

    Zhao Yao walked in front of Project X and picked up the mirror on the floor. ¡°Project X, do you really think I can¡¯t deal with you? If it wasn¡¯t for Mango, I would have a solution too.¡±

    Now, Mango and Project X had been fed a Cat Spicy Strip by Zhao Yao.

    Mango became a enema and Project X became a mirror.

    In fact, when Project X was gathering his clones and his powers were raging, Zhao Yao had prepared a Spicy Cat Strip. He wanted to wait for Time Freeze to cool down and use the enhanced Time Freeze with Ultra Rapid Regeneration to run over and stuff a Spicy Cat Strip into his mouth.

    Sleep Medusa was Zhao Yao¡¯s first trump card. He had nned to use it after Project X gathered his clones.

    If the n failed, it would be a disguise.

    The Spicy Cat Strip was the real trump card.

    No matter how much he overpowered him, no matter what Project X did, before Project X had gathered all his clones, he did not use the Spicy Cat Strips.

    He knew that he only had one chance, if couldn¡¯t get rid of him once and for all, the Spicy Strips would be useless.

    However, the sudden appearance of Mango spoiled the chance. Zhao Yao watched Project X take Mango¡¯s powers and intelligence but he could not stop Project X.

    After all, Zhao Yao was no match for Project X. Even if he wanted to stop Project X, he would have to drag pass the 12 seconds Time Freeze. He had wanted to use the enhanced Time Freeze but 12 seconds was enough for Project X to kill Mango many times.

    Then, he thought of an idea: to use an illusion to cause Mango and Project X¡¯s powers to rage.

    Lastly, he would give them Spicy Cat Strips.

    Zhao Yao looked at the mirror in his hand. ¡°Do you think that meeting Mango was by chance? Do you think that I only prepared one way to deal with you after you gathered all your clones?¡±

    ¡°Idiot, you were lucky that Mango came over. Your powers almost got out of hand. If he hadn¡¯t... maybe you would have really gotten away.¡±

    Project X went crazy after he realized he had be a mirror. ¡°Ah!!!! You... you lowly beings, stupid...¡±

    Crack... There was a crack on the mirror and Project X shouted, ¡°What are you doing!¡±

    ¡°Shut up.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°You speak again and I will crush you.¡±

    ¡°You! You cannot...¡± Project X was flustered. He didn¡¯t know if he could be reborn if he died under such conditions. Besides, he had no longer had any clones outside.

    ¡°Why can¡¯t I?¡± Zhao Yao snorted, ¡°I asked you to shut up. If you speak again, I will ce you under the toilet.¡±

    Project X was raging but feeling the crack, he did not dare to speak. He was howling in his heart. ¡°How is this possible... No! I am defeated by such a strange power!¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao! Don¡¯t give me a chance. If I am given a chance, I will kill you and all your cats!!¡±

    After picking up Project X and Mango, Zhao Yao fell to the floor in exhaustion.

    He looked at the disappearing hall and thought to himself. ¡°Is the power disappearing...¡±

    Then, everyone and cat in the Fortress Nightmare saw a sh and when they opened eyes again, they were back in Cat Wondend.

    Everyone were very surprised by it and were all searching for Zhao Yao.

    ¡°I... won.¡± Zhao Yao looked at everyone. ¡°Project X is dead.¡±

    All the supercats were cheering.

    Momo turned into a spirit and wanted to escape. Xiao Yu grabbed onto her tail. ¡°You still want to escape! Don¡¯t you know how much money you owe me?¡±

    Momo looked at Xiao Yu in shocked. ¡°I? I owe you money?¡±

    Doll looked at Zhao Yao in disbelief. ¡°How did he do it? He defeated a monster like Project X?¡±

    Kun Wu looked at Zhao Yao¡¯s mirror and bewilderment shed across his eye.

    Then, Ares screamed and walked in front of Sphynx cat¡¯s body. He was shocked. ¡°Sphynx cat...¡±

    Matcha, Elizabeth, Lucifer ... All the cats gathered up and looked at Sphynx cat, who was lying motionless on the floor.

    Matcha turned and looked at Zhao Yao. ¡°Zhao ... Zhao Yao, Sphynx cat?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Zhao Yao sighed, ¡°I... was too weak.¡±

    That moment, Matcha and the others gathered around Sphynx cat and were bawling. The tears rolled out like a waterfall.

    ¡°Sphynx cat!¡± Matcha hugged Sphynx cat¡¯s body and cried.

    Elizabeth¡¯s eyes were filled with tears. ¡°Sphynx cat!¡±

    Ares looked at Sphynx cat dazedly. Sorrow filled his heart. ¡°Why are you dead?¡±

    Upon seeing the supercats cry around Sphynx cat, Zhao Yao sighed and clenched his fist. ¡°I am still too weak.¡±

    Although Zhao Yao sounded prepared when he spoke to Project X, he knew that if Mango had not appeared, if the Book hadn¡¯t resisted the rage, if he had really used his original n...

    After Project X gathered all his clones, dragging the 12 seconds to go into the enhance Time Freeze, then feed Project X the Spicy Strip.

    In the 12 seconds, there would have been countless deaths.

    Then, Matcha was crying and pointing at the enema in Zhao Yao¡¯s hands. ¡°Zhao Yao! What happened to Mango? Turn him back!¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head. ¡°Mango has suffered heavy injuries. If he turns back into a cat, he will die anytime. I have to find a supercat who can heal him before turning him back.¡±

    Although Zhao Yao did not have any cats with healing powers but he knew that Uncle Ho had.

    Zhao Yao looked at Kun Wu and Doll. ¡°Leave. I am not in the mood to fight with you guys.¡±

    Kun Wu was still staring at the mirror in Zhao Yao¡¯s hands. However, Doll reacted and pulled her away.

    Then, Zhao Yao looked at the supercats from the prison and sent them back to Uncle Ho.

    All sorts of cleaning up, tidying up, and renovating Cat Wondend followed. He had to send Matcha, Fish Ball, Elizabeth, and the rest to the pet hospital.

    However, even if the building was fixed, the scars left in the hearts of the supercats were not easily fixed. All the supercats were filled with sorrow and looked pathetic.

    Zhao Yao sighed and walked out of the door. He leaped and jumped onto the rooftop. He returned to the Cat Ind through Extradimensional Belly.

    ...

    In a toilet on Cat Ind.

    Project X was hung in the cat toilet and because he was stuffed with a dozen of Spicy Cat Strip, he would remain like that for a dozen of hours.

    Because Zhao Yao did not tell him, Project X did not know that he would turn back into a cat after a period of time. He thought that as long as Zhao Yao did not deactivate the power, he would remain as a mirror forever.

    Project X was hung in the toilet as he watched the supercats use the toilet and looking into the mirror. Project X grew more and more frustrated and more and more fearful. He yelled, ¡°What are you looking at? What is there to look at? Can¡¯t you bend down and look at your own butt?¡±

    ¡°Wow.¡± Airne looked up and pressed his paw on the mirror. ¡°A mirror is so arrogant?¡±

    ¡°I said...¡± Project X was about to yell again, but he felt the cat¡¯s ws against the mirror and apologized immediately. ¡°I¡¯m sorry!!¡±

    ¡°Who is the most good looking cat?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s you! It¡¯s you! It¡¯s you!¡±

    ¡°This is too much indignity...¡± Project X looked at Airne walk away arrogantly and he was about to explode. ¡®Do I really have to be a toilet mirror for the rest of my life? Are you kidding me?¡¯

    Near him, Sang Biao, who was toilet paper, moved his body and said happily. ¡°Boss, I never expected you woulde to apany me. Are you ufortable now? It¡¯s okay. After a while, you will get use to it. Cat shit isn¡¯t that dirty actually.¡±

    ¡°Who wants to get used to it?¡± Project X was rolling his eyes. ¡°Get lost.¡±

    When Project X was raging, Zhao Yao appeared outside the cat toilet. He smiled. ¡°How are you, Project X? Do you like your new job?¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao!¡± Project X answered menacingly. ¡°I will not sumb to you.¡±

    ¡°Okay. You can continue. I am just passing by.¡±

    When Project X saw that Zhao Yao was really leaving, he was anxious and wanted to speak but he hesitated.

    Zhao Yao slowed down his pace drastically and thought. ¡°He can tolerate it for this long? No, I have to find out how to heal Roly Poly.¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s powers and intelligence were taken away from him. Zhao Yao had to find a way to save him and Project X was the only clue.

    Finally, Project X shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao! Don¡¯t you want me to return the powers and intelligence to the supercats?¡±

    ¡°I have no interest. There are so many supercats, it¡¯s okay if I lose a few.¡± Zhao Yaoughed coldly. On the surface, he looked like he left mercilessly, however, he slowed down.

    Project X was anxious when he saw Zhao Yao continued to walk. ¡°Zhao Yao! As long as you let me go, I will give them back their intelligence and powers. I have thought about it. Your powers are stronger than I expected. We canmunicate equally. There is no need to fight.¡±

    ¡°Let you out?¡± Zhao Yaoughed coldly. ¡°Impossible.¡±

    Project X said helplessly, ¡°Sphynx cat, if you let me out, I can¡¯t save him... But I know of a way to revive him.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up and said calmly, ¡°Speak.¡±

    As Project X spoke, Zhao Yao frowned but he nodded.

    Project X¡¯s body shed and entered the Extradimensional Belly.

    Project X sighed, ¡°At least I don¡¯t have to be in the toilet anymore.¡±

    After several hours, Project X who had regained his body suddenly realized that the mirror form was not permanent. That was why Zhao Yao had sealed him up in this dimension.

    Thinking of this, Project X yelled.

    ¡°B*stard!¡±

    But all the doors were closed in the Extradimensional Belly. He was imprisoned there and could not leave.

    No matter if it was Dust Ball or Zhao Yao, both would not open the Extradimensional Belly.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°I can¡¯t let him out yet. I have to use this time to improve my powers and after I canpletely defeat Project X I will let him out. By then, I would force him to return the powers and intelligence to the supercats. I will kill him after that andplete the mission. And... about reviving Sphynx cat...¡±

    After hearing Project X¡¯s information, Zhao Yao was overjoyed and returned to the hospital to tell Matcha and the rest the good news.

    However, when he opened the ward door, he saw that Matcha, who had originally been full of sorrow, had gotten down from his bed and stood in front of Roly Poly happily. ¡°Fool, you never expected this day, did you? Come...¡± He dipped his ws into a canned food and wiped it onto his lower body.

    ¡°Come, fool,e and lick it.¡±

    ¡°Hahaha, Old Cat you have take a clear photo. I will show him when he recovers.¡±

    ¡°Oh ya, don¡¯t forget to burn a copy for Sphynx cat. It would entertain him even if he is in the underworld.¡±

    Zhao Yao clenched his teeth. ¡°Stupid cat.¡±

    Matcha felt the air turn cold and Zhao Yao¡¯s voicee from behind him.

    ¡°Matcha, what are you doing?¡±

    Matcha turned and exined, ¡°I am helping Roly Poly with his rehabilitation! Doctor Liu said he has dementia and he needs his daily rehabilitation to recover...¡±

    ¡°Get lost!¡±

    ¡°No problem!¡± Matchaid on the floor and rolled out obediently.

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and shook his head. He looked at the Roly Poly who was looking at him with his eyes wide open and took out the cat stick from behind his back.

    ¡°Roly Poly,e y with the cat stick.¡±

    Watching Roly Poly jump around and ying with the cat stick like a normal cat, Zhao Yao smiled happily.

    Then, Zhao Yao turned and saw Old Cat who was in a daze. ¡°You...¡±

    ¡°Ah!¡± Old Cat poked his eyes and shouted,¡±I didn¡¯t see anything! I can¡¯t see anything!¡±

    After ying with Roly Poly for awhile, Zhao Yao gathered all the supercats and told them. ¡°Everyone, I have something to discuss with you guys today.¡±

    Behind Zhao Yao, a banner was hung up by Ares. It said: ¡°First meeting for the resurrection of Sphynx cat.¡±

    Under the banner was a Sphynx cat¡¯s body in a freezer. On the freezer, there was a ck and white photo of Sphynx cat.

    ¡°ording to Project X, there is a way to resurrect Sphynx cat.¡± Zhao Yao said calmly.

    ¡°However, we cannot act rashly. Everyone has saw the capabilities of Project X. Although I won this time, if we were to battle again I may not be able to win again.

    We can try to resurrect Sphynx cat ording to what he say but we have to be stronger than him andpletely dominate him.¡±

    Matcha raised his paws.

    Zhao Yao pretended that he couldn¡¯t see. He continued, ¡°So, other than running the Cat Wondend, I will go andplete some missions to upgrade the Book. At the same time, we have to start collecting meteorites...¡±

    Matcha rolled in front of Zhao Yao and waved his paws continuously.

    Zhao Yao sighed and looked at Matcha. ¡°Matcha, what do you have to say?¡±

    Matcha stood up happily. ¡°Zhao Yao, what about the rewards? We contributed so much, shouldn¡¯t there be rewards?¡±

    All the supercats were excited and looked at Zhao Yao with anticipation.

    ¡°Okay. All of you will receive rewards.¡± Zhao Yao pulled out his phone and said, ¡°Come and scan the QR code. I will transfer the money to you.¡±

    ¡°Yeah!¡±

    All the cats were cheering and gathered up. Sphynx cat¡¯s freezer was pushed away and the ck and white photo fell to the floor.

    Zhao Yao was transferring the money and sighing. He watch his money deplete and sighed more heavily. ¡°To relieve everyone¡¯s sorrow is not an easy task.¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, Doll brought Kun Wu to the beach. ¡°Kun Wu let¡¯s go. Project X has finally been settled. We just have to deal with the Headless Horseman and there will be world peace!¡±

    Kun Wu shook her head and recalled the mirror in Zhao Yao¡¯s hand and frown. ¡°Doll, I want to go to Cat Wondend.¡±

    Doll was shocked. ¡°What?¡±

    Kun Wu said, ¡°I want to work at the Cat Wondend. I want to observe the Headless Horseman.¡±

    ¡°What?!¡± Doll was shocked and at the same time his robotic head lit up in green light.

    Headless: ¡°Where is the green light? It is incredible like an electrocution. Like a miracle in my life..¡±

    Doll yelled, ¡°Headless!!¡±

    Headless answered, ¡°Boss there is no need to thank me. Data says that this is the best time for this BGM. Isn¡¯t it funny? The users who used it says it funny.¡±

    Zhao Yao spent the whole day using his superpowers to rebuild and renovate most of the destroyed Cat Wondend. It would be open for business again the next day.

    ¡°Operating Cat Wondend, selling more catmint,pleting more missions, and collecting more meteorite fragments.¡± Zhao Yao sat on the executive chair in his office as he formted a n in his mind. Suddenly, Dust Ball burst in hurriedly.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Dust Ball?¡±

    Dust Ball held a huge bowl of catmint in her mouth as she eximed anxiously, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! The Extradimensional Belly is being used to lock up that idiot, Project X. Now I have no ce to nt my catmint! What should we do? Dust Ball Catmint is about to run out of stock!¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and replied, ¡°I thought about this problem as well. I have a solution.¡±

    Dust Ball stared at Zhao Yao in admiration as she asked, ¡°What solution do you have?¡±

    Zhao Yao took out a bag of catmint from below his desk and told her, ¡°You will sell this from now on.¡±

    Dust Ball nced at the bag of catmint and immediately said, ¡°This is not our catmint.¡±

    ¡°Yeah. I bought this from Taobao.¡±

    Dust Ball was shocked. ¡°You! You want me to sell fake goods?¡±

    ¡°How is this fake? This is catmint as well.¡±

    Dust Ball replied, ¡°But... but this is the catmint grown in the Extradimensional Belly. It wasn¡¯t grown with the Light of Creation. The taste will be different.¡±

    ¡°Just say you guys upgraded the form,¡± Zhao Yao casually replied. ¡°If it doesn¡¯t work add some soil and grass. Anyway, we¡¯re the only ones licensed to sell catmint in Jianghai. Does it matter what kind of catmint we sell?¡±

    Dust Ball shook her head immediately. ¡°No! I won¡¯t sell counterfeit goods! This is against my professional conduct!¡±

    Zhao Yao searched under his desk again an took out a watermelon knife and threw it in front of Dust Ball.

    ¡°Don¡¯t think I will be scared just because of a knife!!¡± Dust Ball pointed usingly at the counterfeit catmint and said, ¡°I will sell this catmint not because I¡¯m afraid of this knife of yours but because I¡¯m worried that the cats in Jianghai won¡¯t be able to enjoy catmint if I stop selling it.¡±

    ¡°Humph!¡± After saying her piece, Dust Ball picked up the bag of counterfeit catmint and strode off.

    Zhao Yao reminded her, ¡°Don¡¯t forget to change the packaging.¡±

    ¡°Got it.¡±

    Zhao Yao could not help but add, ¡°Add some nutritional paste, canned cat food or stuff like that so that it won¡¯t taste the same as ordinary catmint.¡±

    ¡°So annoying. Stop telling me how to make catmint. I¡¯ll do it my own way.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head as he watched Dust Ball leave. ¡°This girl. The older she gets, the more disobedient she bes.¡± He unlocked his phone and decided to browse through the news and the Cat Web.

    Due to the appearance of the gigantic Fortress Nightmare, it was impossible to cover up the incident at Jianghai¡¯s Cat Wondend. There were already countlessizens discussing the issue of supercats.

    This time, Uncle Ho and his men did not avidly remove posts or censor discussions about the topic. It was evident that they wanted the citizens to ept the reality of the existence of supercats.

    Afterall, two years had passed since the awakening of supercats. More and more people in society had be aware of the existence of supercats. With such a long buffer period, it was enough for the public to slowly ept this shocking piece of news.

    On the Cat Web, more theories came up regarding thistest incident. However, as Project X¡¯s profile was kept top secret and confidential, normal apostles and supercats did not have detailed information on Project X. As such, all sorts of rumors were abound in the superpower realm.

    However, the incident this time had urred at the Cat Wondend. Naturally, the boss of Cat Wondend, the Headless Horseman, would be implicated in some way.

    That huge, ck shadow of a fortress and the countless prison cats that charged into the Cat Wondend that day added clout and terror to the Headless Horseman¡¯s name. Not only that, it cloaked his identity in a mysterious light.

    ¡°How strong is the Headless Horseman exactly?¡±

    ¡°Has the government secretly acknowledged the Headless Horseman¡¯s presence and clout?¡±

    ¡°This is my ideal list of superpower names! The Headless Horseman would rank fifth at most!¡±

    Zhao Yao smirked as he scrolled through the Cat Web, looking through all kinds of posts trying to guess how powerful the Headless Horseman was and which apostle was more powerful. He was secretly pleased in being the hot topic of discussion on the web.

    After browsing the inte for the whole day till, Zhao Yao stood up and stretched his back before heading for the rooftop of the Cat Wondend.

    ¡°Business officially resumes tomorrow. Our preparations are almost done so everyone can go back and rest for today,¡± Zhao Yao instructed as he thought, ¡°Today marks the end of the month as well. I should go back to the Cat Indter to add experience points and draw some rewards.¡±

    After a few minutes, Matcha, Elizabeth, Dust Ball, and the other supercats gathered on the rooftop one by one, as if they were waiting for something.

    Shortly after, a huge shadow descended from the sky as it pped its wings, slowlynding on the rooftop.

    It was the Tri-headed Golden Dragon that Cat Sage turned into. However, the Tri-headed Golden Dragon was wrapped inyers of ck cloth at that moment to cover its blinding golden scales.

    Next, the supercats lined up to sit on the dragon¡¯s back one by one, as if they were boarding a shuttle bus.

    In fact, it was technically a shuttle service as the Extradimensional Belly was now sealed off and unpassable to contain Project X. Instead, Zhao Yao allowed Cat Sage to turn into the Tri-headed Golden Dragon to fetch the supercats to and from work every night. Zhao Yao himself also sat on the Tri-headed Golden Dragon to return to Cat Ind.

    Once they returned to Cat Ind, Milk Tea and Yellow Mud could be seen waiting from afar. When they saw the Tri-headed Golden Dragonnding, they immediately ran up and jumped onto the dragon¡¯s back to hug Matcha.

    ¡°Brother Matcha, Brother Matcha!¡± Milk Tea asked worriedly, ¡°Are you guys okay? I was so worried!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t hug me!¡± Matcha screamed, scaring Milk Tea away. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Brother Matcha?¡±

    ¡°You touched my wounds,¡± Matcha pointed at his broken nail and said, ¡°This is my battle scar from my duel with Project X. That guy snapped off my nail just like that. Luckily I reacted quickly and bit the fur on his chest to make him retreat.¡±

    Matcha said in a serious tone, ¡°Project X is one formidable cat. He¡¯s the strongest opponent I have met in my whole life... Ahhhh!!!!¡± He screamed as he tumbled down from the dragon¡¯s back.

    ¡°Get lost.¡± Elizabeth kicked Matcha off with her leg as she smiled at Milk Tea and said, ¡°Milk Tea, remember, you can only believe half a sentence out of the 10 Matcha says. You should listen to less of his b*llshit from now on.¡±

    Milk Tea stared at Elizabeth indignantly and retorted like a devoted fanboy, ¡°I don¡¯t want to hear you badmouth Brother Matcha. Brother Matcha won¡¯t lie to me!¡± As he said that, Milk Tea went on to chase after Matcha, who had tumbled off.

    Elizabeth shook her head. ¡°This foolish child.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go!¡± Rice Cake mbered down the dragon back gleefully, ¡°Time to y some mobile games!¡±

    Cheese followed closely behind her as he shouted, ¡°Slowly, Rice Cake, be careful not to fall while running.¡±

    Ares climbed down slowly, carrying the freezer containing Sphynx cat¡¯s body and his memorial photo. Using the -60 degrees temperature of the Deflective Field, Ares was able to preserve Sphynx cat¡¯s dead body in perfect condition.

    Lucifer and F¨±jin, together with their underlings, followed behind Ares from a distance. They stared at Ares and the freezer on his back in astonishment. They felt as if a chilling breeze had passed through them.

    F¨±jin suddenly screamed out, ¡°I think Sphynx cat looked me in the eye just now!¡±

    Lucifer screamed after him, ¡°Ah!!!¡± The group of cats huddled together at once.

    Uncle Egg bit Roly Poly¡¯s tail and tried to drag him down. However, Roly Poly, who was robbed of his intelligence, clung onto the dragon back as he was too scared to climb down.

    Staring at the foolish look on Roly Poly¡¯s face, Uncle Egg could not help but sigh, ¡°Sir Roly, how did you be like this. What should the Roly Party of the Royal Cat Police Force do now? Which cat can save a building from its imminent copse? Who can save this country from its crisis?¡±

    Meow! Roly Poly suddenly spotted a seagull nearby andunched forward, nearly crashing to the floor.

    ¡°Be careful, Sir Roly!¡± Uncle Egg was shocked and immediately bit on Roly Poly¡¯s tail, saving him in time.

    Uncle Egg said to Zhao Yao anxiously, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! Roly Poly is like a madman now. I can¡¯t look after him myself. Could you send a few more cats over?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought for a bit and nodded. Afterall, most of the facilities on the Cat Ind were designed for supercats. For Roly Poly, who had no intelligence to speak of now, it was indeed dangerous. It would be troublesome if he identally got electrocuted or things like that.

    Hence, Zhao Yao arranged for a few supercats to take turns looking after Roly Poly round the clock.

    Next, Zhao Yao returned to his parents¡¯ vi by the beach andy down on a sofa, intending to wait for midnight toe so that he could calcte his monthly payout.

    Shortly after, however, Ares came over to put down the freezer. He could not use it for 24 hours straight and he needed to charge it at some point.

    Zhao Yao ced the freezer behind him and started ying phone games while waiting.

    Time flew by and in the blink of an eye, midnight hade. The time to calcte monthly payouts hade.

    However, Zhao Yao nced at the panel in the Book and at his phone as he thought to himself, ¡°I should finish this round before calcting the payouts. It doesn¡¯t matter if I¡¯m a few minuteste anyway.¡±

    Just as Zhao Yao wanted to continue ying his phone game, the freezer behind suddenly shook violently.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s body tensed up as he turned around and stared at the freezer. He said in a careful tone, ¡°Sphynx cat? You came back to see us?¡±

    He thought for a bit and said, ¡°Rest in peace, Sphynx cat. I will calcte my monthly payouts after this round. Once my capabilities surpass that of Project X, I will bring you back to life.¡± Seeing as the freezer stopped moving, Zhao Yao continued ying his game in peace.

    However, Sphynx cat¡¯s ck and white photo suddenly dropped on Zhao Yao¡¯s head, scaring him into standing up.

    ¡°What the f*ck.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay, I will calcte the payout now, alright,¡± Zhao Yao rubbed his head and said, ¡°You should go back soon. It¡¯s not good toe back every now and then. I will let Ares burn more catmint grass for you tomorrow.¡±

    ncing at the freezer that had stopped moving again, Zhao Yao sighed in relief and thought, ¡°Is this for real, there¡¯s actually such a power in this world?¡±

    ncing at the cup that had fallen from the strong gusts of wind, Zhao Yao thought, ¡°It must be a coincidence. The wind is strong by the sea. It¡¯s very normal, Zhao Yao.¡±

    However, he lost the desire to continue ying games so Zhao Yao focused his attention on the panel in the Book to check his monthly payout.

    First was obviously the Cat Wondend¡¯s returns. After deducting the operating costs, the profit for the month was 5,165,439 dors, which amounted to 103 000 worth of experience points. He tapped on it to redeem the points and start the monthly mission for the next month.

    When he saw this, Zhao Yao broke into a wide grin, ¡°Opening the Cat Wondend is indeed profitable. This gives 10 300*2 experience points at once.¡±

    Zhao Yao quickly tapped to redeem it. The experience points board on the panel immediately became:

    Book: Level 7 (21 777/50 000)

    Matcha: Level 8 (7810/50 000)

    Elizabeth: Level 9 (2600/100 000)

    Dust Ball: Level 9 (1900/100 000)

    Ares: Level 8 (1900/50 000)

    Lucifer: Level 7 (2000/20 000)

    Sphynx Cat: Level 7 (2000/20 000)

    Catherine: Level 6 (0/10 000)

    ¡°Can I level up my supercats now?¡± Zhao Yao thought for a while. He was not in a rush to level up now so he went on to look at the catmint market¡¯s payout.

    The catmint market had reached a shocking 45% of the market share, giving Zhao Yao a total of 45 consecutive chances to draw rewards.

    ¡°Amazing!¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s heart burst with happiness at the payout and immediately grabbed Red Packet, hugging him in his arms as he drew a tenbo first.

    10 experience points earned

    50 experience points earned

    5 experience points earned

    10 experience points earned

    Seeing the contents of the rewards drawn, Zhao Yao shook his head in dissatisfaction as he quickly drew another tenbo. He did this for a few times before he used up all his chances to draw rewards.

    He gained a total of 650*2 experience points, 7 packets of Spicy Cat Strips (70 strips) and 7 Cat Prince Costume Fragments. He had umted (11/80) of the Cat Prince Costume Fragments.

    Looking at the rewards drawn this time round, Zhao Yao¡¯s face soured. ¡°There are a lot of Spicy Cat Strips but I didn¡¯t even draw a single divine weapon. What kind of bad luck is this?¡±

    ¡°I can only wait for the next draw. I must try my best to raise the market share of the catmint market this month.¡±

    Zhao Yao turned his attention to the experience points in the Book.

    ¡°Which cat should I level up?¡± Zhao Yao thought, ¡°My ns for now is to develop my business in Jianghai and increase the market share. At the same time, I will continue toplete missions and earn experience points.¡±

    ¡°Next, I will be going to America to collect meteorite fragments,¡± Zhao Yao thought to himself. ¡°Once I¡¯m done collecting meteorite fragments, I will gain much more skill points and activate the Book¡¯s so-called evolution function.¡±

    ¡°Anyway, I don¡¯t have any tricky opponents to deal with now. I shall wait till after the next monthly payout to see if I should upgrade the supercats before I go to America.¡±

    At that thought, Zhao Yao resisted the urge to level up his supercats. He unlocked his phone again.

    Bam!

    Zhao Yao grabbed the photo of Sphynx cat that dropped on him and said in exasperation, ¡°Fine, fine, I¡¯ll go do missions now, okay?¡±

    ...

    The next day at Cat Wondend, every supercat¡¯s jaw dropped as they gaped at the cat in front of them.

    ¡°What the f*ck, where did this cate from?¡±

    ¡°The Headless Horseman is truly amazing. He actually managed to get his hands on such a premium quality cat?

    ¡°How much is this neer worth? I want to keep her as a mistress!!¡±

    The burning stares of desire from the supercats around Kun Wu made her frown slightly. However, she was assured at the thought of her own superpower.

    She followed Matcha¡¯s pace obediently as they walked to Zhao Yao¡¯s office.

    Matcha observed the shocked looks on the supercats around them and his heart sank, ¡°Humph, this YYJH[1] Zhao Yao found outside actually had the gall toe to Cat Wondend.¡±

    ...

    At the same time, outside Cat Wondend...

    The father ragdoll cat, Caesar, stared at the metal block in front of him and wondered curiously, ¡°When did this sculpture appear?¡±

    At that moment, the mother ragdoll cat, Catherine, walked over and told Caesar, ¡°What are you looking at?¡± She nced contemptuously at the mechanical cat in front of her and continued, ¡°Haven¡¯t you heard? The female cat that Zhao Yao had a fling with in OX city found her way here. Zhao Yao called her into his office the moment she arrived.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Caesar eximed, ¡°Doesn¡¯t that mean she¡¯s themb entering a tiger¡¯s den?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, exactly,¡± Catherine said worriedly. ¡°Yet anotherpetitores. I told Lizzie to watch out for her but she insists that it¡¯s not an issue...¡±

    Right at that moment, the feline robot in front of Caesar and Catherine moved. Doll trembled as he stared at the Cat Wondend from afar.

    In her mind, the thought of her waiting at the bottom floor while Headless Horseman cuddled Kun Wu made Doll feel really sad.

    Right at this moment, the internal telephone in the robot interior rang. It was Kun Wu.

    ¡°Kun Wu? When are youing down?¡±

    ¡°I won¡¯t being back tonight. Don¡¯t wait for me. Go home first.¡±

    Du du du du...

    Hearing the call end, Doll broke down and sprawled to his knees as he cried out, ¡°No!!!¡±

    ¡°Kun! Wu!¡±

    Headless started singing a mncholic tune, ¡°Snow petals drifting, the North wind whistles, the world ever a boundless...¡±[1]

    Doll was so enraged his voltage scaled to rming levels, ¡°Headless! Shut up!¡±

    ...

    In the office, Zhao Yao frowned and said, ¡°Matcha, close the windows. That ghastly screaming is so noisy.¡±

    Matcha immediately ran forward and closed the windows for Zhao Yao. Next, he stood at the side and stared at Kun Wu before turning his gaze to Zhao Yao. Looking at back and forth between the two, his eyes narrowed instinctively, ¡°There¡¯s definitely a thing going on between them. I must stay here and keep a close watch on the two of them.¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned as he nced at Matcha, ¡°Get out, I want to talk to Kun Wu. You keep watch outside. Don¡¯t just let anyonee in.¡±

    Hearing his words, Matcha could not help but walk out of the room. However, he dragged his feet as slowly as he could and only hurried off after Zhao Yao red at him.

    Once the door closed, Matcha immediately pricked up his ears and pressed against the door to try and hear what was being said in the room. However, he could not hear anything at all.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Since when was this room so soundproof?¡±

    Matcha was so anxious he started scratching his ears and cheeks in panic. He wanted to find an excuse to go in again and eavesdrop on what they were talking about, but he was scared that Zhao Yao would scold him for that.

    At this moment, he felt something bumping against him. Matcha turned and saw Milk Tea staring at him with big round eyes as he asked, ¡°Brother Matcha! What are you doing?¡±

    Matcha¡¯s eyes lit up in that instant as he said to Milk Tea, ¡°Milk Tea! Did youe to find Zhao Yao?¡±

    Milk Tea nodded, ¡°I¡¯m looking for Master Zhao to calcte my pay for yesterday¡¯s work.¡±

    A hint of glee shed across Matcha¡¯s face. ¡°Good, just walk into the roomter. Once you¡¯re in, stay there for awhile and listen to what Zhao Yao and the cat inside are talking about. Do you understand?¡±

    As he said that, the big orange cat licked the small orange cat¡¯s head. The small orange cat nodded and said seriously, ¡°I understand, Brother Matcha!¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao stared at Kun Wu and asked curiously, ¡°You want to work at the Cat Wondend?¡±

    Kun Wu nodded.

    Zhao Yao leaned against the executive chair and raised his legs on the table. He looked at Kun Wu condescendingly and asked, ¡°Which school did you graduate from?¡±

    ¡°Er... I...¡±

    ¡°You¡¯ve never been to school?¡± Zhao Yao shook his head and sighed, ¡°Then what did you work as previously?¡±

    ¡°Ah... I... I... I...¡± Kun Wu stuttered, ¡°I helped someone look after a supermarket before.¡±

    ¡°So a temporary job.¡± Zhao Yao frowned and continued, ¡°Why did you think ofing to ourpany to work?¡±

    ¡°Ah...¡± Kun Wu started breaking out in cold sweat as she thought to herself, ¡°What should I say? I can¡¯t think of an answer at all. I didn¡¯t know finding a job would be so difficult?¡±

    At that moment, knocks on the door were heard as a small orange cat trotted in and leaped into Zhao Yao¡¯s arms.

    Zhao Yao patted Milk Tea¡¯s head and said, ¡°Milk Tea, wait for a while, I am conducting an interview now.¡±

    Milk Tea nodded obediently. ¡°I will wait here.¡±

    Hence, Zhao Yao stroked Milk Tea as he looked at Kun Wu again and asked, ¡°Have you thought of an answer?¡±

    Kun Wu replied nervously, ¡°I... I think I will have a bright future if I work here. I want toe here and earn more money.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded but shook his head the next moment. ¡°You have no education or work experience. It¡¯s a little difficult on our side to hire you.¡±

    ¡°I can do anything!¡± Kun Wu added, ¡°Washing bowls, sweeping the floor, and cleaning toilets... I will do anything that you ask me to do.¡±

    ¡°We don¡¯tck workers for these tasks,¡± Zhao Yao stroked Milk Tea, who was ring and snapping at Kun Wu.

    Kun Wu replied pitifully, ¡°That¡¯s not what you said thest time...¡±

    Zhao Yao pursed his lips. ¡°You mean that time when I touched you? I, the Great Yao, have touched many cats outside. If all of theme here to find a job, won¡¯t this be more like a charity than a Cat Wondend? Also, if you want to work here, the basic requirement is to consent to being touched.¡±

    Kun Wu was evidently ufortable with being touched. ¡°Is it a must to be touched? I just want to rely on my own skills to earn money.¡±

    Zhao Yao scoffed at her and said, ¡°Just leave if you can¡¯t. I don¡¯t need you here.¡±

    Kun Wu was stunned. A sh of hesitation shed across her face. However, at the thought of Project X, she replied in the end, ¡°Then... alright then.¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled in satisfaction and pped his thigh. ¡°Sit here.¡±

    A wave of humiliation shed across Kun Wu¡¯s face. Even then. she still jumped onto Zhao Yao¡¯sp and curled into a ball.

    Zhao Yao stroked the cat on his leg and said happily, ¡°You maintained your cat fur pretty well.¡±

    Kun Wu gritted her teeth in silence.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°You can¡¯t behave like this. The first thing you need to learn about working here is to smile. Come on. Show me a smile.¡±

    Kun Wu forced out a smile on her face.

    ¡°Not bad.¡± Zhao Yao stroked the horn on Kun Wu¡¯s head and said, ¡°I will call Elizabeth over in a moment. She will train you properly. You will learn a lot from her. Don¡¯t worry about the money. Our employee benefits are very good here at Cat Wondend. As long as you work hard for the next two years, you will earn enough to return to your hometown to buy a house. Until then, find an honest and reliable partner cat to spend the rest of your live with.¡±

    Zhao Yao gloated secretly when he saw Kun Wu agreeing absentmindedly. He asked Sheriff beneath his feet telepathically, ¡°How is it? What else is she still thinking of?¡±

    Sheriff replied, ¡°It¡¯s still about Project X. It seems like she can feel Project X¡¯s presence and desperately wants to see Project X.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and stared at Kun Wu curiously. He thought to himself, ¡°Is that so? In that case, I¡¯ll let her stay at Cat Wondend first. Anyway I know her motive, she will definitely cooperate with me and abide by my rules.¡±

    Of course, Kun Wu did not know that her actions were under Zhao Yao¡¯s scrutiny. That was how she let herself be touched all over and came fully under his control at this moment.

    Zhao Yao let Kun Wu wait there for a while as he turned to Milk Tea and asked, ¡°Milk Tea, what are you here for?¡±

    Milk Tea replied, ¡°Master Zhao! Master Zhao! Yellow Mud and I cleaned up a huge area yesterday...¡±

    ...

    Matcha, who had been waiting outside, finally saw Milk Teae out. He immediately asked, ¡°Milk Tea, what did they talk about?¡±

    Milk Tea stared at Matcha. His heart skipped a beat as he thought to himself, ¡°D*mn, I was chatting so happily with Master Zhao at the end that I forgot what they said before that. What were they talking about?¡±

    Seeing the dazed look on Milk Tea¡¯s face, Matcha asked again, ¡°What is it, Milk Tea?¡±

    Milk Tea frowned deeply as he tried to recall the conversation in the office. Atst, he forced out a reply. ¡°Too much was said. I only remember something like, ¡®I can do anything¡¯... a lot of touching...¡¯sit up here yourself¡¯... calling Elizabeth over in a moment...¡±

    When he spoke till the end, Milk Tea was frowning so hard his small eyebrows scrunched up into a ball of fur, ¡°I can¡¯t remember anymore.¡±

    At the side, Matcha¡¯s mouth was already hanging wide open, aghast at what he had just heard.

    The next moment he suddenly reacted over and immediately covered Milk Tea¡¯s mouth, saying, ¡°You didn¡¯t tell me anything and you didn¡¯t hear anything. Do you understand?¡±

    ¡°This is big news! Breaking news!¡± Matcha raved in his mind as he ran out, ¡°Has Zhao Yao finally unleashed his bestial instincts? What should I do? Aren¡¯t I in the biggest danger now? No, I must let Elizabeth and the rest know about this ande up with a n together.¡±

    ...

    At the same time, in the pet hospital in the military base.

    A medical intern slowly walked past a ward and nced at Mango, who was unconscious. The corners of Mango¡¯s lips revealed a smile.

    ¡°Is this the Headless Horseman¡¯s cat?¡±

    He walked towards the ward, but was stopped immediately. He took out his work identification card and said, ¡°I¡¯m here to change his dressing.¡±

    He entered the ward the next moment and stroked the unconscious Mango. He spoke to his hidden ear microphones, ¡°I found him. You guys think of a way to deal with the security.¡±

    In a room one kilometer away, a foreigner with brown hair and blue eyes replied, ¡°Got it.¡±

    In the security office, the surveince screens shed before being reced by videos.

    ¡°Done. You only have 20 seconds at most. Use it well.¡±

    The medical intern in the ward nodded. He opened his mouth and spat out a British Shorthair that was the same size as Mango.

    After swapping Mango with the British Shorthair, the medical intern swallowed Mango into his stomach.

    When he was done, he tidied his appearance and walked out as if nothing happened.

    He avoided the crowd and walked to a secluded corner. His body moved and he disappeared into green smoke in a sh.

    He flipped over the outer wall and took off his clothes, throwing them into the dumpster. Next, he changed into the fresh set of clothes he had prepared beforehand. His body transformed and he turned into a youngdy with long, ck hair who skipped happily in the streets.

    A voice speaking English rang out from the earphones and asked, ¡°How is it?¡±

    ¡°I got it.¡± The youngdy smiled. ¡°It¡¯s the Headless Horseman¡¯s cat. We got a big catch this time.¡±

    ¡°YES!!¡± The voice on the other end of the earphones cheered in joy. ¡°Retreat as nned. I will be waiting for you on the ship.¡±

    The youngdy with long, straight ck hair patted her stomach and walked off in delight.

    In the hospital, the nurse walked into Mango¡¯s ward. She frowned when she saw the blue cat. ¡°Mango? Why do I feel like you became fatter?¡±

    She stroked the other party¡¯s body and did a simple examination. The next moment her face changed as she realised, ¡°Something is wrong...¡±

    ¡°Has this cat been switched with a fake?¡±

    Instantly, countless government apostles rushed into the hospital. The news spread up to the higher authorities quickly and reached Uncle Ho in no time.

    Uncle Ho shook his head. He gave out orders to investigate the incident thoroughly at all costs while dialling Zhao Yao¡¯s number on his phone.

    ...

    On the Cat Ind, Milk Tea ran around in the thick forest, climbing up onto a tree branch.

    He turned to look behind him. Yellow Mud was looking around frantically as he screamed, ¡°Milk Tea! Stop ying!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s almost time to go to work!¡±

    ¡°Quicke out! Cat Sage is going to leave!¡±

    Milk Teaughed delightedly. ¡°He can¡¯t find me!¡± He jumped off the tree branch the next moment and ran further in into the thick forest.

    He skipped along happily until he reached a valley-like ce.

    Milk Tea wondered curiously, ¡°Eh? Did this ce exist on the Cat Indst time?¡± He sniffed at the entrance of the valley and a familiar smell came to his mind.

    ¡°It¡¯s the smell of Brother Ares, Sister Dust Ball, and Master Zhao. Are they ying together?¡± Milk Tea¡¯s eyes lit up as he ran into the valley, treading gingerly. He saw that deep in the valley, more than 10 supercats were huddled together with Zhao Yao, as if they were looking at something.

    Dust Ball opened all five dimension portals, which were situated at different positions and in different directions.

    The supercats gathered around the dimension portals and could clearly hear what was going on in the Extradimensional Belly.

    As F¨±jin howled out gusts of strong winds, hundreds of Project Xs were fighting around wildly.

    With every punch and kick, every Project X could make the air around them reverberate from the impact, making it look like a thunderstorm.

    Especially at the speed at which all the Project Xs were fighting, it was as if thousands of bolts of lighting were booming at the same time. Even Zhao Yao was not able to clearly see many of their moves.

    Ares was shocked. ¡°This Project X... He could actually carry on training in these moments?¡±

    Dust Ball exined, ¡°Mango¡¯s ability should be one that expels things from his body. However, it is not a permanent effect. Once he is out of the range of his powers, he should be able to recover slowly. Project X¡¯s superpowers are basically still intact so he can still train hard.

    Sphynx cat¡¯s training abilities coupled with Sang Biao¡¯s evolution abilities sped up his improvement by leaps and bounds.

    Red Packet said anxiously, ¡°Then let¡¯s just kill him now. Judging from the rate at which he¡¯s training now, he is too terrifying. If he manages to escape, he will be undefeatable.¡±

    ¡°No, we haven¡¯t recovered Roly Poly and Sphynx cat, so we can¡¯t kill him yet,¡± Zhao Yao shook his head and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Red Packet. Since he hasn¡¯t managed to escape from the dimension portal, it would be useless no matter how much he trains his body. Using physical prowess to surpass the boundaries of the dimension portal is too crazy an idea.¡±

    Ares stared menacingly at Project X, who was still training intensely. ¡°But we can¡¯t let him live so easily. Logically speaking, he didn¡¯t even eat anything. How is he still able to train this hard?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s photosynthesis,¡± Dust Ball said. ¡°This guy¡¯s body is continuously evolving to adapt to his environment. He can now absorb the light energy from the Light of Creation in the Extradimensional Belly. That¡¯s why he split into so many clones. It helps him to absorb more light energy.

    The Light of Creation promotes biological growth more than that of normal light sources, so it¡¯s normal that he can continue training after absorbing the light energy from the Light of Creation.¡±

    At the thought of this, Dust Ball¡¯s gaze towards Project X became even more hostile.

    ¡°Taking up my space, absorbing my light, and defecating and peeing in my stomach... This wretched cat...¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought, ¡°We really can¡¯t let him continue training like this or else it will be even more troublesome to let him out and restore Roly Poly in future.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought for a moment before he said, ¡°Dust Ball, Ares, F¨±jin... Come with me. We shouldn¡¯t let him have such a good time training.¡±

    Once he said that, Zhao Yao left with the supercats to make some preparations that would allow them to disrupt Project X¡¯s training.

    Not long after they left, the bushes nearby rustled as Milk Tea walked out carefully. He nced at the five dimension portals and walked towards them curiously.

    ¡°Eh? Why are there so many strange cats in the Extradimensional Belly?¡± Milk Tea stared at Project X who was behind the dimension portal and asked curiously, ¡°Hey, what are you guys doing in the Extradimensional Belly?¡±

    Project X stopped suddenly when he heard the voice ringing through the void of space. He asked, ¡°Who is it?¡±

    ¡°I am Milk Tea. Who are you? Why are you staying in the Extradimensional Belly?¡± Milk Tea asked curiously. ¡°And why do all of you look exactly the same as each other?¡±

    Project X narrowed his eyes slightly as he said, ¡°I am the God of Cats, Project X.¡± He continued in a bewitching tone, ¡°Milk Tea right, do you want to be strong? Do you want to be the strongest supercat in the world, change your destiny, and change this world?¡±

    When he heard no response, Project X continued again, ¡°As long as you be my disciple, I can pass you countless divine powers. You will have the power to surpass all others and defeat all the powers in the world. You could even live on forever in the universe.¡±

    Milk Tea replied eagerly, ¡°Then can you find my mother?¡±

    ¡°Mother?¡±

    ¡°Yeah,¡± Milk Tea said, ¡°My mother disappeared after she went on a holiday. Can you find her for me?¡±

    ¡°This... hmm...¡± Project X hesitated, ¡°Well, it¡¯s not impossible. As long as I cane out, I will definitely be able to find your mother after some time.¡±

    Milk Tea retorted suspiciously, ¡°You can¡¯t actually find her right?¡±

    ¡°No, how can that be? I am the God of Cats,¡± Project X said. ¡°As long as I am out...¡±

    Milk Tea cut him off, ¡°Thene out.¡±

    Project X cursed, ¡°What the hell...¡±

    Annoyed, Milk Tea replied, ¡°You can¡¯t evene out and you call yourself the God of Cats.¡±

    Project X suppressed his anger, changed the topic and said, ¡°Change your request. Besides this, I can agree to other requests, whether it is increasing your strength, superpower, intelligence, or knowledge... I can help you.¡±

    Milk Tea tilted his head, remembered Matcha¡¯s words and said, ¡°Do you have money?¡±

    ¡°Money?¡± Project X said indignantly. ¡°What¡¯s the use of that waste paper? We can obtain anything we want by using our superpower. Money is only used by trashy humans.¡±

    ¡°So, you don¡¯t have money.¡± Milk Tea said, ¡°So you are a useless otaku. Brother Gaia was earning money everyday by yingputer games at home.¡±

    The green veins on Project X¡¯s head almost exploded and he felt a strong urge to strangle Milk Tea.

    Milk Tea turned to leave and discovered Zhao Yao behind him, giving him a fright.

    ¡°Master Yao.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Milk Tea helplessly. After having the strength of six supercats andplemented by Sphynx cat¡¯s strength, his constitution reached superman level. He was able to see minute details within a range of a few hundred meters.

    He discovered Milk Tea¡¯s strange behavior and wanted to see what Milk Tea was doing and Project X¡¯s reaction.

    ¡°Project X is indeed unable to go out.¡± He turned to look at Milk Tea and said, ¡°Milk Tea, you are not toe here. Do you understand?¡±

    ¡°Oh!¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Ares and said, ¡°Inform the rest that the Prison Valley is a forbidden area on Cat Ind. Nobody is allowed entry without my permission.¡±

    After Milk Tea was chased away, Zhao Yao and the cats came to the Dimension Portal again. Looking at Project X, Zhao Yao sneered and said, ¡°Let him gain some rity.¡±

    ¡°Let me try first!¡± Dust Ball stepped out and blew out a mouthful of air. She continued blowing out the air which seemed to be connected to another Dimension.

    She was blowing out air from the Extradimensional Belly.

    ¡°Let me try too!¡± Ares shouted and directed the Deflective Field into the Dimension Portal. The temperature of the Extradimensional Belly dropped rapidly to -60¡ãC.

    The Extradimensional Belly became almost like a vacuum.

    Project X¡¯s body degenerated like a dried corpse. He became sour and huddled as his heartbeat slowed down. The blood vessels underneath the skin and his organs became distorted. He was adapting to a harsh environment.

    Zhao Yao looked at Project X as his powerful senses kicked in. He raised his brow and thought, ¡°Good riddance, he has a strong will for survival and is adapting to a harsh climate.¡±

    Zhao Yao ordered, ¡°Dust Ball and Ares, both of you are to guard Project X. Don¡¯t give him any materials or energy. If there are abnormalities, inform me immediately.¡±

    Zhao Yao left the Prison Valley with a heavy heart.

    Project X¡¯s will for survival and adaptability went beyond Zhao Yao¡¯s expectation. He was evolving even in a near vacuum environment.

    ¡°It¡¯s a pity the Light of Creation is part of the Extradimensional Belly and Dust Ball is unable to it shut off.¡± Zhao Yao shook his head and thought, ¡°We have to earn more experience points to surpass Project X.

    When Zhao Yao thought of Project X, who was evolving and improving all the time, he had no mood to yputer games. Instead, he intended to help the apostles and supercats in Jianghai city.

    Uncle Ho called Zhao Yao, ¡°Zhao Yao... sorry... we lost Mango...¡±

    Zhao Yao hung up the cell phone and he smiled grimly, ¡°Very good, I intend to earn some experience points and a mission came right up.¡±

    A minuteter, a ck figure flew up from Cat Ind into the sky, breaching supersonic speed. He broke out of the clouds and hurtled towards Jianghai city. It was Zhao Yao wearing Cheese¡¯s cloak.

    ...

    When Zhao Yao arrived at the hospital, the crime scene was surrounded by arge group of apostles and workers.

    They got a fright when they saw Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Who is this guy wearing a hrious mask?¡±

    ¡°Where did this mad mane from?¡±

    ¡°Chase him out.¡±

    Uncle Ho quickly came over, shooed everyone away, and brought Zhao Yao to the crime scene.

    Uncle Ho scrutinized Zhao Yao¡¯s costume. Everything was the same except the Halloween mask which negated his sombre aura.

    Uncle Ho could not resist asking, ¡°Why are you wearing that?¡±

    Zhao Yao said unhappily, ¡°I lost my Invisibility supercat when I fought with Project X. I can¡¯t make my head invisible. What do you rmend?¡±

    Uncle Ho said, ¡°At least wear something normal.¡±

    ¡°I forgot about this when I hurried over here. I didn¡¯t prepare at all.¡± Zhao Yao was upset as he said, ¡°I only had this Halloween mask and my sister¡¯s silk stockings. Do you think I had a choice?¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay, okay.¡± Uncle Ho felt that it was better to wear his sister¡¯s silk stockings but he did not want to antagonize Zhao Yao as the police had lost Mango.

    Uncle Ho brought Zhao to the hospital ward and said, ¡°Someone disguised himself as a doctor to replenish Mango¡¯s medicine. He reced Mango with a British Short and altered the surveince images. He must have a hacker apostle.¡±

    Zhao Yao lowered his head to scrutinize the blue cat and sniffed the cat¡¯s odor. ¡°Why is there the smell of French fries?¡± He frowned and sniffed some more to differentiate the smells. ¡°Spicy soup, Maocai, chafing dish, spicy hotpot... a bunch of food and the subtle fragrance of a woman.¡±

    After confirming the smell, Zhao Yao shed and vanished.

    ¡°I am looking for Mango. You will continue with your investigation.¡±

    On board a cargo ship, a young girl with long ck hair looked at the receding coastline and heaved in relief.

    Beside the young girl, a foreign man patted his shoulders and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry Aurora. We are out in the sea, the Chinese won¡¯t be able to find us.¡±

    Aurora sneered and said, ¡°I sacrificed my long hidden identity for this mission and ran the risk of being pursued by the Headless Horseman. I hope you can pay the price.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Star Cats treat his friends generously,¡± A man with a hawk nose said. ¡°Moreover, this is the Headless Horseman¡¯s cat. You won¡¯t be disappointed with the price. You have to let us verify the cat¡¯s superpower.¡±

    He rubbed his palms and said with great anticipation, ¡°The cat was treated with a lot of resources as he was wounded in the fight between Headless Horseman and Project X. His superpower must be very strong.¡±

    Aurora nodded and followed the hawk-nosed man into the cabin. More than ten warriors followed behind and stood guard outside the door.

    Aurora spat out Mango from her stomach. The hawk-nosed man was not repulsed by the saliva drenched Mango and said to a supercat at the side, ¡°It¡¯s your turn to do your job.¡±

    The guy with hawked nose looked at the American Shorthair.

    He pressed his phone and said, ¡°ce it into the explosion-proof box. And don¡¯t forget to put on the electric shock cors.¡±

    Mango, who was unconscious, had an electric shock cor ced on him and he was then ced into an explosion-proof box. The box¡¯s defenseyers could prevent a majority of powers.

    After doing all of this, the supercat squat in front of the explosion-proof box and spoke to Mango. ¡°Hey, wake up. We are home.¡±

    When the American Shorthair saw that Mango was still sleeping, he shook his head and shouted to Mango telepathically. ¡°Wake up now! It is not time for you to sleep!¡±

    After screaming for awhile, Mango opened his eyes finally and looked at his surrounding environment in a daze.

    The American Shorthair spoke in an alluring voice. ¡°Hi, you can call me Charlie. There is no need to be afraid. We mean no harm.¡±

    Mango purred.

    Charlie nodded satisfyingly and spoke on the phone. ¡°Purring is a cat¡¯s way of showing friendliness. It looks like he is easy tomunicate to.¡±

    As sound could not pass through the tightly sealed explosion-proof box, Charlie spoke to Mango through his consciousness. Therefore, he was not afraid that Mango would hear him speak.

    The guy with hawked nose and Aurora were overjoyed to hear that.

    The guy with hawked nosed said, ¡°Whatever Headless Horseman is offering him, we will give double. We must get him over to our side.¡±

    ¡°I know.¡± Charlie looked at Mango and said, ¡°We are the Star Cats from the United States. Do you know about the Star Cats? It is the biggest superpower organization in the world. In our organization, humans are not the only leaders. To us, cats and humans are equals and our founders are the nine strongest supercats.

    In Star Cats, supercats are not tools used by humans. We are buddies. Any actions that discriminate against cats will be punished severely.

    Mango purred again.

    Charlie raised his eyebrows. ¡°He seems to like Star Cats.¡±

    ¡°YES!¡± the guy with hooked nose said, ¡°Come on, Charlie!¡±

    Charlie nodded and continued with more enthusiasm. ¡°Star Cats aim to free the world¡¯s supercats. In the country that you were in, there is a discrimination against cats. Cats do not have freedom and have been living under oppression.

    We have heard that you and your friends have been under living under Headless Horseman¡¯s exploitation, torture, and threats. That¡¯s why we are here to save you.¡±

    Mango purred again.

    ¡°Erm.¡± Charlie thought about it and said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to be afraid. We have left China. Headless Horseman will not be able to capture you.You are safe. Is there anything you want to say?¡±

    Mango purred again.

    Finally, Charlie felt that something was amiss. Why did the British Shorthair only know how to purr.

    He tried to ask, ¡°As long as you are willing to join Star Cats, we can help you create a new identity and get a United States Cat Identification. You will be able to breathe free air and no one will force you to use your powers. You¡¯ll get a fresh start...¡±

    Mango: ¡°Meow?¡±

    Charlie¡¯s face fell and raged. ¡°Do you even understand what I am talking about?¡±

    Mango: ¡°Meow?¡±

    Charlie yelled, ¡°Are you an idiot?¡±

    Mango purred again.

    Charlie was stunned when he saw Mango purring and rubbing against the box.

    The guy with hooked nose asked, ¡°How is it Charlie? What opinions did he give?¡±

    ¡°Nothing!¡± Charlie was angered. ¡°This cat only knows how to purr. He doesn¡¯t have any intelligence!¡±

    ¡°What?¡± The guy with hawked nose heard and his face turn cold. All the soldiers raised their guns and pointed at Aurora.

    Aurora raised her hands and said, ¡°Hey! Don¡¯t point the gun at me. This cat is really Headless Horseman¡¯s cat!¡±

    The guy who hawked nose said menacingly. ¡°Then why does he not have intelligence?¡±

    ¡°How do I know?¡± Aurora said angrily. ¡°Maybe he hurt his brain? Maybe he is pretending to be dumb? Ask your interpreter to ask carefully.¡±

    Charlie¡¯s eyes lit up and said, ¡°Yeah, you are right. The explosion-proof box is sound proof, for me to hear him purr, he canmunicate through supercat¡¯s consciousness. He has to be a supercat. It is just that he has lose his intelligence.¡±

    He thought of this and said, ¡°Try to see if he is faking it or he is really dumb. If he is really dumb, it may be more advantageous to us.¡±

    He asked, ¡°Hi, do you remember what is your power?¡±

    ¡°Meow? Meow?¡±

    ¡°Power! What is your power? Do you want to try it?¡±

    At the seaside, as the wind blew, a figure shed across the atmosphere and appeared on the surface of the ocean.

    Zhao Yao sniffed the area thoroughly and frowned. ¡°No scent left? They left by the ocean?¡± He looked at the vast ocean and frowned harder. ¡°Now, there is a problem...¡±

    No matter how strong his sense of smell was, there was no way he could chase them on the ocean.

    Zhao Yao phoned Uncle Ho and reported his location.

    Uncle Ho said, ¡°... Got it. We will inform the Marine to help.¡±

    However, Zhao Yao did not ce all his hopes on Uncle Ho. ¡°Who should I ask for help?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought of Cat King of the South, however, Li Li had been stripped of her powers too. He needed topletely defeat Project X for Li Li to recover.

    He shed and soared across the sky again. He held onto his helmet and flew back to Cat Wondend.

    ...

    In Cat Wondend, a University girl with pink hair hugged Elizabeth blissfully.

    She rubbed Elizabeth¡¯s tummy and said happily. ¡°Elizabeth, have you been eating a lot? There is a lot of meat on your tummy.¡±

    Elizabeth frowned and swept her tail onto the University girl¡¯s face. She said angrily. ¡°Stupid human. If there is no flesh on the tummy, can it still be called a tummy?¡±

    Kun Wu was in the arms of another girl next to the university girl. ¡°Wow, look this cat is so special. The horn on her head feels so soft. It is so cool.¡±

    The pink haired girl reached her hand over and touched Kun Wu¡¯s butt. She eximed, ¡°Wow, it is so soft. It feels softer than Elizabeth¡¯s.¡±

    Kun Wu asked miserably. ¡°When are they going to stop?¡±

    Elizabeth spoke in an experienced tone. ¡°You can¡¯t endure it already? Most of the customers are like this. They love to rub your tummy and butt. It¡¯s okay if they do it softly, however, if it is too rough, you can shout and give them a warning.¡±

    Then, Elizabeth let out a yell. The pink haired girl let go immediately and stroked Elizabeth¡¯s head with concern. ¡°What is wrong Elizabeth? Did that hurt?¡±

    Elizabeth looked at Kun Wu and said, ¡°See, these guys are easy to control. You can make them do different things with different screams.¡±

    Kun Wu was shocked. ¡°What? Is that a power?¡±

    Elizabeth smiled. ¡°What makes this a power, you will know when you meet more humans. These guys are easy to control. If there are troublesome customers, then, we need to use powers to settle them.¡±

    Kun Wu said hurriedly. ¡°What about Zhao Yao? Does it work with him?¡±

    Elizabeth was taken aback and said dejectedly. ¡°Zhao Yao is not human.¡±

    Just when Kun Wu and Elizabeth were discussing about how to deal with humans, the two university girls froze in their spots.

    Zhao Yao walked up and took off his ridiculous helmet. ¡°Kun Wu, are you still in contact with Doll?¡±

    ¡°You want to capture Doll?¡± Kun Wu was nervous.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°I need help from him. This is what happened...¡±He summarized the story and told Kun Wu. Then, Zhao Yao continued, ¡°It is very hard for me to track them. Doll has many tracking devices, right? Can he help me?¡±

    Kun Wu thought about it and said, ¡°I can ask for you, but he hates you. So, he may not agree.¡±

    Kun Wu gave Doll a call.

    Doll sounded surprised. ¡°Kun Wu? Why did you think of calling me?¡±

    Kun Wu said ,¡±Erm, the Headless Horseman is looking for you. He needs a favor from you.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Doll said, ¡°Ask him to dream on. Even if I had to cut off all my electricity and inte, I would not help him.¡±

    Kun Wu raised her head and looked at Zhao Yao. ¡°He says that he would rather die than help you.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Pass me the phone. I will speak to him.¡±

    ¡°Hello? Doll?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t you think...¡±

    Zhao Yao snapped his fingers and used Deflective Field to cut off the surrounding sound. Then, he said, ¡°Do you want get Kun Wu to like you?¡±

    ¡°Erm...¡±Doll answered shyly. ¡°What are you talking about. We are just friends...¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°If you help me, I will help you.¡±

    Doll was in disbelief. ¡°How are you going to help me?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Kun Wu is working for me. If youe and work for me too, won¡¯t you guys be together all the time?¡±

    ¡°What!¡±

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°If I arrange you guys to work together during the day and sleep in the same hostel at night, won¡¯t she develop feelings for you over time?¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡±

    Zhao Yao added, ¡°So? As long as you help me, I can arrange for you to be with Kun Wu all the time.¡± He saw Kun Wu look at him curiously as she could not hear, Zhao Yao raised his thumb. He mouthed, ¡°It¡¯s okay¡±.

    Doll said, ¡°Why do I feel like something is amiss?¡±

    ¡°There is no opportunity for second thoughts. If you won¡¯t take this chance, I will give the chance to other supercats.¡±

    After an hour, the supersonic flying apparatus made by Doll was flying on the coastal lines of Jianghai city. It scattered countless nano detection machines during its flight and flew in different directions to look for Mango.

    ...

    Zhao Yao held onto his helmet and flew across the ocean tond on cargo ship whose location was provided by Doll.

    The moment hended on the deck, he frowned and looked shocked.

    ¡°What... this is...¡±

    Zhao Yao quickly cast a spell, changing the horrible smell into the scent ofvender then he took few steps and saw all the crew lying on the floor covered in curry.

    He also quickly cast a illusion spell on himself.

    On the way to the cabin, he looked at all the crew whose eyes were filled with despair and numbness and body were entirely covered up, Zhao Yao shook his head. ¡°How tragic, It seems as if nuclear war happened here.¡±

    He searched around for a bit and found the location of Mango and the explosion-proof box. Looking at Aurora who was bleeding excessively, along with hawk-nosed man and supercat Charlie in the room, he shook his head at the sight of Mango who was soundly asleep in the explosion-proof box.

    Then, Zhao Yao reached out his palms and tore the box gently. The explosion-proof box made of superalloy came apart.

    Mango instantly opened his eyes and happily approached him once it saw that it was Zhao Yao. Zhao Yao carried Mango in his arms.

    Instantly, the mission waspleted. 5000*2 experience points were gained.

    Zhao Yao looked at the people lying on the floor. A spell gently undted in the air and woke them up with its strong stimtion.

    The moment the hawk-nosed man woke up, he screamed, ¡°This cat cannot be touched!¡±

    Charlie cried, ¡°Let me out! Let me out!¡±

    Aurora immediately saw the man wearing a ridiculous helmet, her expression changed and straight away she reached for the gun, aimed, and shot.

    Zhao Yao easily stopped the bullet with his hands, threw it upwards, and a explosion was heard. The top of the cabin was now broken with a huge hole.

    ¡°How can you!¡± Aurora looked at Zhao Yao in a daze and looked at the hole over her head with her mouth ajar, not knowing what to say.

    Everyone woke up with a fright at this scene, palely stared at Zhao Yao, not daring to resist any longer.

    Zhao Yao looked at them and said, ¡°Okay, tell me where are you from and why you want to steal my cat.¡±

    Aurora¡¯s expression changed and she asked, ¡°Are you the Headless Horseman?¡±

    Zhao Yao waved his hands and cast a spell, ¡°I am asking you a question, not the other way round.¡±

    Aurora quickly clenched her stomach and she hurriedly exined, ¡°We are the people from Star Cats. The Star Cats authorities knew that your supercats were there and ordered us to snatch them. Please stop! I am about to defecate!¡±

    ¡°Star Cats?¡± Zhao Yao raised his eyebrows. Star Cats was the strongest organization in America, originally from Maine, which is where the meteorite fell. There were arge number of superb supercats that had evene into conflict with the American government, which ended in a reconciliation. It was a win-win situation.

    ¡°There should be a lot of meteorite fragments there.¡± At this thought, Zhao Yao turned to Aurora and said, ¡°Contact your boss for me.¡±

    Aurora turned to look at the hawk-nosed man at the side.

    The hawk-nosed man asked, ¡°What do you want?¡±

    ¡°What? Obviouslypensation.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°You guys stole my cat, inflicted terror on it, and dyed my personal work. Do you know how much money I can earn in one minute?¡±

    Aurora said, ¡°Thousands of millions?¡±

    Zhao Yao said in a embarrassed tone. ¡°In fact, not that much...¡± Then, he used a ferocious tone and said, ¡°This is none of your business! You guys will have topensate me. Call your boss!¡±

    Hawk-nosed roared, ¡°You want to extort the Star Cats? Headless Horseman, have you gone crazy?¡±

    Zhao Yao curled his finger and he immediately clenched his stomach screaming, ¡°Enough, enough, stop now! I know what to do.¡±

    Then, he fished out a satellite phone and started making calls. After a few words, he handed the phone over to Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°So you are the boss of Star Cats? You guys stole my cat, how do you n topensate me?

    A calm middle-aged man voice spoke on the other end, ¡°Speak of your conditions.¡±

    ¡°I want all your meteorite fragments.¡±

    The other end roared, ¡°You are dreaming, Headless Horseman, do you know who are you extorting? Star Cats will never sumb to anyone or power. I order you to immediately release my men or you will be starting a war that you can only lose.¡±

    Zhao Yao responded with another mirthlessugh.

    The Star Cats¡¯ boss said coldly, ¡°What are youughing at?¡±

    ¡°So you stole my cats and refuse topensate?¡± Zhao Yao sneered. ¡°You are trying to get away? Let me tell you, thest person who tried this, died. Wait for it.¡± He ignored the threats and hung up.

    At the other end of the call, a middle-aged man looked at his phone with disbelief. ¡°Is this guy crazy?¡± The man had thin scales on his face that gave off a hint of green. He looked like the mermaids from ancient myths.

    He happened to be the greatest apostle in Star Cats and was called Dragon. At the same time, he was a member of the Natural Disaster Representatives and was in the strongest apostle team in Star Cats.

    The so-called natural disasters refer to apostles who have the ability to confront an army. This concept was created in Star Cats when the international situation was going through drastic changes.

    The Natural Disaster Representatives was a violent apostle team carefully crafted by Star Cats.

    Before Dragon be a Natural Disaster Representative, he was already the star apostle in the team stationed in the Pacific, who was feared by countless small Southeast Asian countries¡¯ supernatural men. He saw himself as the boss of supernatural realm in the Pacific.

    Hanging up the call, Dragon asked, ¡°Have the reinforcements arrived?¡±

    A subordinate beside the men responded, ¡°The ships of the sixth team are already visible, do you need them to attack?¡±

    ¡°Tell them to not act rashly. The Headless Horseman is not an easy target. Even though it is still unclear how he defeated Project x but this at least proves that he has the capabilities worthy of natural disaster.¡±

    Dragon walked onto the deck slowly with a sneer on his face. ¡°The army didn¡¯t allow us to interfere with Project X previously, the higher authorities wanted to see them make a fool of themselves too. That is why one cat was able to cause so much trouble. Today I shall see how powerful this apostle who defeated Project X is.¡±

    Clearly, the American army was not united with the Star Cats after all. Star Cats was still created by independent supercats. Due to various reasons, they did not initiate attacks against Project X. Instead they allowed Project X to weaken the army, Japan, and even other supernatural realms in Southeast Asia.

    While Dragon was talking, he leaped into the sea.

    The moment he entered the water, the water around rose as if paying respect to the Emperor¡¯s courtiers.

    Then, Dragon was seen walking on the waves, bring the constantly surging water towards the other end.

    ...

    On the other end, Zhao Yao looked at Aurora and her team with malicious intentions after hanging up the call. Aurora immediately asked anxiously, ¡°What do you want?¡±

    ¡°Nothing.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡± Since you guys stole my cats, it¡¯ll make sense for me to take all of you back and hand y¡¯all over to the police.¡±

    Hawk-nosed man said anxiously, ¡°You can¡¯t do that.¡±

    Zhao Yao did not pay attention to him and walked straight out of the cabin, intending to jump into the sea and push the boat back.

    However, he scanned around when he reached the deck and saw a ck dot a few thousand kilometers away. He squinted his eyes and adjusted his pupils and saw a foreign country¡¯s warship with foreigners busy working.

    ¡°Heh heh, buy one get one free?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s body flew into the sky, elerating towards the warship.

    Aurora, the hawked-nose man, and supercat Charlie who were behind him were stunned by this scene.

    The Hawked-nose man was surprised. ¡°Direct confrontation with a warship? Is he crazy?¡±

    ¡°How fast!¡± Aurora screamed. ¡°If he gets onto the ship, the warship will be useless no matter how powerful it is.¡±

    The next moment, everyone saw a small spark rising from the warship which was four consecutive missilesunched at Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao who was rapidly advancing gave a slight smile at the missilesunched at him without feeling any sense of panic.

    He, who had inherited the power of six cats had reached superhuman levels of bodily strength. The missiles may have been incredibly fast, but they were slow in his eyes. It was to the extent where he could see their every single detail.

    Then, Zhao Yao who was at a rapid speed elerated again, caught the tail of the missile, and flung it away at an incredible speed. After a series of metal nging noises that sounded like the clenching of teeth, the missile collided with the nearby missile and exploded.

    Amidst the smoke, along with a golden ray light that shed, the other two missiles in the air had also sessively exploded. While Zhao Yao stood on the top of the warship.

    From the warship bouts of anxious cries could be heard and quickly, all sorts of machine guns and naval guns were aimed at Zhao Yao and a torrent of metal rushed towards him.

    Facing this wave of attacks, Zhao Yao did not choose to resist. Even a tank would have been shot into a sieve. Even if Zhao Yao was only slightly wounded, Cheese cloak would not be able to withstand it.

    While time was paused, Zhao Yao¡¯s silhouette disappeared in a sh and all the naval guns, machine guns, and weapons on the warship twisted and were chipped into fragments of scrap metal.

    ¡°Devil! This is a devil!¡±

    ¡°Reinforcements, we need reinforcements!¡±

    ¡°Where are the apostles? Where are our apostles?¡±

    However, the apostles did not dare to approach. It would be a joke to approach. It was like asking them tomit suicide. They barely saw his actions and the entire warship was disarmed.

    Zhao Yao stretched his palms and moved slightly, the entire steel door was already removed. He threw the steel door on the floor, walked into the room and saw a crew holding a gun aimed at him in panic.

    Gunshot sounded but stopped quickly, which meant that Zhao Yao had already takenplete control of this warship.

    While Aurora and the others on the other ship stared at each other in shock after the gunshot stopped. They witnessed the scene of Zhao Yao seizing the warship.

    ¡°Took control of a warship in one minute,¡± The hawked-nosed man said in a shock, ¡°Headless Horseman is such much stronger than the Intel given.¡±

    Aurora pointed at the distant sea and said, ¡°Look! What is that?¡±

    At the horizons, a burst of white could be seen advancing towards their location rapidly.

    Supercat Charlie stared at it for a while and screamed, ¡°It¡¯s a tsunami! Damn it, it¡¯s a tsunami! Quickly escape!¡±

    Amidst a rumbling of loud noises, the entire warship was engulfed by arge shadow.

    Zhao Yao turned around and saw a wave that was a hundred meters tall approaching, about to swallow the entire warship.

    Countless people screamed and felt despair. One can only wait for the arrival of death in front of such a phenomenon.

    However, just before the entire warship was about to be swallowed by the waves, the sea seemed to be brought to life and lifted the ship up. The crew, which almost about to copse, was relieved.

    The next moment, people saw a silhouette at the end of the waves and began to cheer.

    Zhao Yao also saw the silhouette standing on the waves. It was a foreigner who looked like a mermaid and was standing on the hundred meter tall wave, looking at Zhao Yao condescendingly.

    Zhao Yao was flying in the air and maintained a certain distance from Dragon. ¡°You are a Star Cats apostle?¡± He looked at the raging waves below him and said jealously, ¡°What a strong power.¡±

    ¡°Dragon, from Star Cats, ¡± Dragon said proudly. ¡°Headless Horseman, if you stop here, we will let things go. Do not continue.¡±

    Zhao Yao was taken aback and red coldly. ¡°Let it go?¡± He clenched his fist and roared loudly. ¡°Looks like you haven¡¯t figured out what¡¯s the situation. I shall beat some sense into you.¡±

    Dragon felt the danger radiating from Zhao Yao and was wary.

    He was one of the best Marines in the army. Before he had joined the army, he was also an athlete swimmer. He fell in love with swimming because of his parents and had a special affinity with the sea. He started surfing at ten.

    These experiences gave him strong physical capabilities and excellent swimming abilities. After the supercats awakened, he realized that he was verypatible with many powers.

    He was the only apostle in Star Cats that could create a hundred meter tall tsunami.

    As long as he was at the sea with his powers, he was fearless.

    He had defeated countless people ever since he came to the base in the Pacific Ocean. He established his standing on the sea and because of him, many straits and navigation routes had be Star Cats¡¯ territory.

    In front of the Headless Horseman, although Dragon was wary, he was not afraid. He stood up straight and said, ¡°Headless Horseman, Star Cats is unwilling to start battles but it doesn¡¯t mean that we are afraid of battles. If you want to carry on like this, we will grant you your wish.¡±

    As they spoke, the waves raged around them. The thick water vapor rushed up to the extent where the sky started to turn gloomy. It was like a thunderstorm was about to ur.

    The dark sea waters rose continuously. Soon they became 110 meters... 120 meters... 130 meters...

    The golden glow on Zhao Yao was shining brighter and brighter. A chill were spreading outwards and with any contact with it,rge amounts of sea water would freeze.

    The atmosphere was so tense that everyone was on their toes. If both parties were to fight, especially with Dragon, who could control the ocean, it would be devastating. All the people around them would suffer.

    The surrounding air was suffocating and as the water vapor gathered, the air was getting denser and concentrated.

    When the fight was about to start, a phone rang.

    Zhao Yao looked at Dragon and said, ¡°Wait.¡± He took out his phone and realized it was ruined. He shook his head and looked at his other phone which was connected to the cat web.

    This phone was made by the Cat King of the North. It was shook proof and explosion proof. It was this phone that was ringing.

    When he picked up, Uncle Ho spoke, ¡°Zhao Yao! What are you doing? Don¡¯t engage with the Star Cats.¡±

    ¡°They stole my cat and refuse topensate.¡±

    ¡°If you fight with them in international waters, it will start a international dispute. It is not worth it, ¡± Uncle Ho advised. ¡°After all, Star Cats is a huge organization, the chances are low if you want them to pay up by threatening them.¡±

    ¡°You want me to endure them?¡±

    ¡°No, not endure them... a strategic retreat,¡± Uncle Ho said. ¡°As long as you do not initiate the fight, they will not attack. Please, let this go. If you wantpensation, we can give it to you.¡±

    ¡°I do not wantpensation from you.¡± Zhao Yao turned his head and saw that a warship from his country had sailed over. Evidently, they had found Zhao Yao.

    ¡°You have already taught the people at Star Cats a lesson and captured one of their ships. Why are you insisting forpensation?¡±

    Uncle Ho tried to discuss with him and offered many conditions. Finally, he managed to persuade Zhao Yao to agree.

    Zhao Yao understood that it concerned the political situation of the two countries and did not wish to make a big deal out of it.

    Zhao Yao took a nce at Dragon and said, ¡°Count yourself lucky.¡± Then, he turned and flew towards Aurora¡¯s ship.

    Mango was still there.

    When Dragon saw Zhao Yao walk away, he thought to himself, ¡°Their high ranking officials decided to back off?¡± He couldn¡¯t resist but to insult Zhao Yao when he felt like he had the upper hand. ¡°Coward. Are all Chinese as useless as you?¡±

    The crew members and apostles did not know what happened. They thought that Dragon had the upper hand and Headless Horseman was retreating. There was not going to be a fight and they cheered with excitement.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s ears twitched and jerked back. ¡°What did you say?¡±

    Dragon froze when Zhao Yao red at him. But since his superiors ordered him to stand down, the Headless Horseman could not attack anymore. He smiled and said, ¡°Cow...¡±

    Bam! Before Dragon could finish, a palm appeared in front of him at a supersonic speed and stopped him from continuing.

    Dragon¡¯s eye grew wide open and he felt an immense pressure hit him in his mouth. The pressure rushed into his body and tried to tear him apart.

    Bam! Dragon body was torn apart and it turned into water, merging with the tsunami under him.

    Then, the tsunami raged further and formed a gigantic water giant. The giant was more than five meters tall and his body was covered in fish scales, there was even two gills on the side on his face. He roared at Zhao Yao.

    Dragon, who had turned into the sea giant, not only had the power to control the oceans but his physical abilities were also enhanced drastically.

    ¡°So you want to fight?¡± Zhao Yao looked at Dragon andughed coldly. ¡°Let¡¯s change locations.¡±

    When Dragon heard that Zhao Yao was going to change locations, he yelled, ¡°Headless Horseman, are you trying to escape?¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head. ¡°You are the strongest in the sea, right? Then, I will fight you in the sea.¡±

    Then, Zhao Yao attacked from a distance. A golden palm fell from the sky and mmed towards Dragon.

    Everywhere which the palm came into contact with turned into ice. The sea was frozen too. Dragon became a gigantic ice statue.

    Zhao Yao shed and as the air sted, he charged into the sea and split open the waves in front of him. He grabbed Dragon¡¯s frozen head and descended downwards quickly.

    ¡°You want to fight me in the sea?¡± Dragon felt humiliated and as the ice shattered, he controlled the water around him. It wrapped around Zhao Yao with intense pressure.

    ¡°Headless Horseman, you shall die in the ocean today!¡±

    The currents raged and countless water rushed in. Dragon controlled the water dragon to surrounded the both of them.

    Before Dragon could be overjoyed, Zhao Yao¡¯s hands ripped the water dragon apart. He punched Dragon¡¯s head and mmed the water giant down.

    Roar! Dragon felt a sharp pain on his head and yelled in anger. He waved his palm and water arrows were formed. They relied on the seas¡¯s power and shot towards Zhao Yao.

    Bam bam bam bam! Zhao Yao ignored the water arrows that were shooting across the water and came in front of Dragon to give him another punch.

    Boom! Dragon¡¯s head received another blow and he fell down.

    He opened his mouth and spat out a gushing river. It rushed towards Zhao Yao with astonishing momentum. Then, Zhao Yao reached out his hand and the water turned into ice. Zhao Yao shattered the ice with his legs and shot out like a fish, punching Dragon in the head again.

    Roar! Roar! Roar!

    Dragon¡¯s head was busted. Blood flowed out and stained the entire area of water.

    He activated his power in fury and all the waters around him started spinning. It soon became a whirlpool and sent Zhao Yao into the depths of the ocean.

    ¡°Headless Horseman, regret in hell!¡±

    The raging waters surrounded Zhao Yao and the pressure from the sky dragged Zhao Yao towards the bottom of the ocean.

    Then, as Time Freeze was activated, Zhao Yao appeared in front of Dragon again and punched his head.

    Ahh!!! Dragon started attacking Zhao Yao frantically. Despite the violent situation under the water, on the surface of the water, the two ships were swept up by the waves and were shaking violently.

    No matter how hard Dragon attacked and how much the oceans raged, Zhao Yao would to appear in front of him to punch him.

    After the punches, Dragon¡¯s head was fractured, deformed, and filled with blood. His emotions turned from anger and rage to nervousness, fear, and sorrow...

    There was another punch in the head and Dragon broke down. He stopped his attacks and raised up both his hands as he yelled, ¡°I surrender! I surrender!¡±

    His answer was another punch and his nose bone broke.

    Dragon hugged onto his head and shouted, ¡°Stop hitting! I admit defeat!¡±

    ¡°Admit defeat?¡± Zhao Yao punched again.

    Dragon was rolling about in the water and used his hands to cover his head. ¡°Yes, I admit defeat. I admit defeat!¡±

    ¡°Did I ask you to admit defeat?¡± Zhao Yao kicked Dragon¡¯s head and shot him out into the ocean.

    ...

    On the surface of the ocean, the raging waves had calmed down and the heavy clouds dispersed. The ocean returned to its calm state.

    Everyone looked at each other. ¡°The fight has ended?¡±

    ¡°Who won?¡±

    ¡°It must be Dragon! It is impossible for the Headless Horseman to beat him in the ocean.¡±

    After several discussions, a ck figure flew out from the ocean andnded on the warship¡¯s deck.

    They looked up and saw that it was a naked Dragon, who had resumed human form.

    Dragon was naked, his face was swollen and there were words carved on his chest. ¡°Weak Americans.¡±

    An apostle rushed up and held Dragon. ¡°Dragon! Are you okay?¡±

    Dragon was hugging himself and shivering. He looked at the apostle who helped him up and said in despair. ¡°Don¡¯t touch the Headless Horseman.¡±

    When he said that, another dark figure appeared. Everyone looked up and saw that Zhao Yao was towering over them. He said menacingly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I said that I would not kill him. I won¡¯t; he isn¡¯t even allowed to die.¡±

    He flew back to Aurora¡¯s ship and came back halfway. ¡°Tell your leaders no one can snatch my things. What is mine, will be mine. I will im it back.¡±

    ¡°Did we take other things from him?¡±

    ¡°Did the superiors send another team to get it?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the new mission andughed, ¡°The book is great. No wonder it is my power.¡± Then, Zhao Yao¡¯s phone rang again. He was flying as he spoke. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s nothing.¡±

    ¡°How could I kill someone?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. All we did was to go for a swim. Dragon and I came to amon consensus. We will live in peace.¡±

    As he spoke, he turned and threatened to kill the people on the warship with his hand.

    He could let the people on the warship and Dragon go. But, he did not n to let Aurora and the rest off. He descended upon the ship to their despair.

    Aurora was in denial. ¡°He defeated Dragon?¡±

    Charlie was worried. ¡°I heard that the supercats under Headless Horseman lived in living hell...¡±

    The hawked nose man said with regret, ¡°If I knew this would happen, I would have waited for retirement.¡±

    ¡°Stop it. Don¡¯t make faces. Can¡¯t you guys smile? I won¡¯t eat you.¡± Zhao Yao said.

    When no one responded, Zhao Yao snapped his fingers and activated the illusion. ¡°I said, can¡¯t you guys smile?¡±

    A strong desire to go to the toilet arose. That moment, the fear of Mango¡¯s control took over their consciousness.

    Aurora was the first to smile and she hugged onto her stomach as she smiled. ¡°Stop it. I can¡¯t do this anymore.¡± Aurora was filled with humiliation. ¡°This devil!¡±

    When he saw that they started to smile and there was a golden exmation mark appearing on top of their heads.

    After removing the threat of the superpower from their bodies andpleting the mission, Zhao Yao finally smiled in satisfaction. ¡°I should clear more missions on the way back. An insignificant mission is better than none at all.¡±

    Everyone else dispersed and went back to work. Only Aurora stayed behind, looking at Zhao Yao with fawning eyes.

    ¡°I¡¯m still quite confident about my looks.¡± Aurora brushed through her long hair as she stared at Zhao Yao. ¡°Sir Headless Horseman, my stomach feels so painful. Can youe and check if there¡¯s a problem with me?¡±

    ¡°Your stomach still hurts?¡± Zhao Yao was surprised. ¡°That can¡¯t be, I already removed the superpower.¡±

    ¡°But it¡¯s really still painful.¡± Aurora pouted and whined. ¡°Can youe and check me please?¡±

    Zhao Yao paused for a moment. He observed Aurora for a moment. Aurora was ted as she thought, ¡°Has my charm worked on him?¡±

    Zhao Yao waved his hands as he said, ¡°You should just go and change first. You¡¯re really smelly and your butt is covered in blood. I feel ufortable even if you don¡¯t.¡±

    ¡°Ah!!¡± Aurora screamed in humiliation and anger as she walked off.

    Zhao Yao let out his breath. ¡°She looks pretty decent but I¡¯m not such an easy person.¡± He stroked his chin and muttered to himself, ¡°But just touching her is harmless right? No, Zhao Yao, you are the Headless Horseman, the model of justice in Jianghai. You can¡¯t leave any ck spots on your name.¡±

    Cheese, who had turned into the cloak, thought exasperatedly, ¡°Why care about ck spots when you¡¯re turning into a ck hole already...¡±

    Under Zhao Yao¡¯s orders, everyone started cleaning the ship as it was steered back to Jianghai.

    Once the ship arrived in Jianghai and the criminals handed over to Uncle Ho, Zhao Yao brought Mango back to the hospital.

    After a round of inspection, there was found to be nothing wrong with Mango. Surprisingly, he was recovering well and in good health, and could even be discharged from the hospital at any time.

    Zhao Yao stroked Mango¡¯s head and sighed, ¡°Mango ah, Mango. What exactly is your superpower?¡±

    Although he used Mango¡¯s power a couple of times, Zhao Yao was still unable to fully grasp the mechanisms behind his power. Afterall, he could only see part of its performance each time he used the power. Furthermore, Mango was a supercat with no intelligence, hence he could notmunicate telepathically, making it more difficult to grasp the mechanisms behind his superpower.

    Zhao Yao did think of signing a contract or letting other people borrow Mango¡¯s superpower. However, he was not sure if Mango¡¯sck of intelligence was a side effect of his superpower so he did not dare to try it out so casually.

    Especially after the explosive expulsion of superpowers during Mango¡¯s battle with Project X previously, where Zhao Yao gained a much deeper understanding of the dangers of Mango¡¯s ability.

    ¡°Mango¡¯s superpower still can¡¯t be used casually. It should only be used during critical moments.¡±

    Hence, after rescuing Mango, Zhao Yao brought him back to Cat Ind. Thereafter, Zhao Yao decided not to let Mango out of Cat Ind again unless it was necessary, not even to Cat Wondend.

    ...

    A few dayster, in the headquarters of Star Cats in Maine, United States.

    Shadows of nine cats appeared one by one on the huge screen.

    Below the screen, Dragon was sitting on the chair, panic-stricken.

    In the screen, arge shadow of a cat with considerably long fur asked, ¡°Dragon, what exactly happened? How did the Headless Horseman defeat you in the vast sea?¡±

    The moment Dragon heard the name ¡®Headless Horseman¡¯, fear shed across his eyes, ¡°We can¡¯t touch him... The Headless Horseman can¡¯t be touched.¡±

    Another cat shadow bellowed, ¡°What exactly are you scared of? What powers did the Headless Horseman use?¡±

    Dragon sank into silence. He slowly said after a long pause, ¡°He kept banging on my head.¡±

    ¡°Banging on your head?¡±

    Dragon replied, ¡°Maybe his superpower is being able to hit the target¡¯s head under all circumstances.¡±

    Silence fell. The voice of a small girl from a petite cat shadow broke the silence as she asked, ¡°Is Dragon¡¯s head permanently damaged?¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s run a test on him.¡±

    ¡°If it doesn¡¯t work, read his memories.¡±

    ¡°We must find out what the Headless Horseman¡¯s ability is.¡±

    ¡°No one should be allowed to belittle the Star Cats.¡±

    ¡°We show the Headless Horseman our prowess!¡±

    ¡°Look at all the posts on the Chinese Cat Web! The Headless Horseman¡¯s actions are really bone-chilling.¡±

    ¡°How can such an evil being exist in this world?¡±

    ¡°This guy is a racist inside out, especially towards the supercat race. A person like that with such great superpowers seriously threatens the existence of us supercats.¡±

    The supercats began discussing fervently about this and it ended up bing a strong condemnation of the Headless Horseman mixed with feelings of righteous indignation.

    ...

    In the office of the Cat Wondend, Zhao Yao was looking at the intel sent over by Uncle Ho. It was about the Star Cats.

    ¡°Thergest superpower organization in the United States, also the earliest superpower organisation that went against the government.¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought, ¡°After receiving my monthly payout at the end of this month, I will be able add to the experience points earned from the previous month. Thereafter, I will make a trip to the United States and retrieve all the meteorite fragments there.¡±

    ¡°By then, I should be strong enough to defeat Project X in battle.¡±

    When he thought of Project X, the thought of recovering the intelligence of Roly Poly and the other cats, as well as reviving Sphynx cat came to his mind.

    By healing Roly Poly and the rest, as long as Zhao Yao¡¯s powers surpassed that of Project X, he could easily defeat him.

    However, judging from Project X¡¯s words, reviving Sphynx cat would not be an easy task.

    Even Project X himself did not have the ability to revive lives. His proposed solution was to find a supercat with revival abilities. He was referring to a supercat that should have actually died thousands of years ago.

    Zhao Yao turned on hisputer and stared silently at the world map, ¡°Does it really exist... that cat...¡±

    Right at that moment, knocks on the door rang in his ears. Zhao Yao called out, ¡°Come in.¡±

    Mr. Matcha, who was d in a thickyer of cat clothing walked in. Kun Wu and Doll followed in his lead.

    Zhao Yao was confused when he saw the thick clothing on Matcha. He asked, ¡°Why are you wearing such thick clothing? You might get a heatstroke from that.¡±

    Matcha was wearing a lion onesie which had a huge brown mane around the neck.

    Hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s words, Matcha replied, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, don¡¯t you think I look more majestic and imposing like this? Doesn¡¯t this give you the feel of a lion prince? More female cats came to chat with me today.¡±

    ¡°Well, if it makes you happy.¡± Seeing the redness on Matcha¡¯s nose, Zhao Yao could not help but remind him, ¡°Drink more water. Don¡¯t get a heatstroke.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. My body is top-notch, I will never get a heatstroke.¡± Matcha panted heavily with his tongue out as he strode out of the door. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about that anymore. I need to go and show Elizabeth my new clothes, it will definitely give her a scare.¡±

    Zhao Yao turned his gaze on Doll and Kun Wu and said, ¡°How is it? Are you guys having fun working here?¡± As he said that he thought to himself, ¡°Both of you suddenly came together to find me... Are you guys going to demand for higher pay? I must vehemently suppress such unhealthy practices and evil phenomena.¡±

    Doll was nodding her head vigorously as Kun Wu said, ¡°Zhao Yao, we do the same jobs as the others and eat the same things. Why are we restricted to stay in the Cat Wondend dormitory while you guys can all go back to the Cat Ind to rest. Do you not trust us?¡±

    Doll immediately chimed in, ¡°Yeah, do you not trust us?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, do you not trust us?¡±

    As Doll said that, he eyed Zhao Yao, trying to get his attention as he mouthed the words, ¡°Don¡¯t listen to her.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°Luckily they¡¯re not asking for higher wages.¡± He smiled kindly at Kun Wu as he said in a gentle voice, ¡°Why would I not trust you guys? We are one big family in Cat Wondend. I regard every employee here as my family.¡±

    ¡°Ey,¡± Doll thought, ¡°It¡¯s starting. Zhao Yao¡¯s hoodwinking her already, that guy¡¯s true superpower...¡± He nced at Kun Wu and thought, ¡°Don¡¯t ever believe his words, Doll.¡± After working in the Cat Wondend for the past few days, Doll had seen enough of supercats falling into the hellhole of debt, working overtime, and working extremely hard at their jobs.

    Kun Wu said to Zhao Yao, ¡°Then why are we only allowed to stay in the dorm here. Why can¡¯t we stay on the Cat Ind?¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°So this is what you were thinking of Kun Wu?¡± He shook his head with disappointment. ¡°Kun Wu, do you know why I let you work front-line at customer service right from the start when you came in?¡±

    ¡°No, why?¡±

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°Kun Wu, do you know what I saw in your eyes the first time Iid eyes on you?¡±

    Kun Wu asked curiously, ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°Dreams. The first time I saw you, I knew you were a supercat that was willing to risk everything to chase your dreams.¡± Zhao Yao sighed. ¡°I could sense the boundless potential in you.¡±

    As he said that, Zhao Yao stood up and walked to the window. He narrowed his eyes slightly before he kicked at the wall harshly. The wall shook so hard that the supercat, Meat Bun, who was resting on top of the wall, dropped down as he shrieked in fright.

    Meat Bun whipped out his phone and sent a message, ¡°Bad news, Brother Airne. I got found out eavesdropping on Zhao Yao and Kun Wu.¡±

    After shocking away Meat Bun, Zhao Yao continued nonchntly, ¡°Kun Wu, I saw boundless potential in you. The only thing youcked was an opportunity to shine and I can give you that tform to shine. Cat Wondend allows you to develop yourself, train your ability, and make your dreamse true step by step. This is a chance for you to realize the true value of your supercat life.¡±

    Kun Wu was astonished. ¡°Zhao Yao actually thinks so highly of me?¡±

    By the side, Doll watched Kun Wu¡¯s expression nervously. However, he could not openly show his nervousness. Afterall, this feline robot was merely a robotic clone he controlled from afar and not his own, so he was totally unable tomunicate telepathically with Kun Wu to remind her to be cautious.

    Zhao Yao picked up Kun Wu and raised her above his head. He stared into her eyes and said, ¡°That¡¯s why I assigned a front-line job to you the moment you came in to work. I wanted to raise you through the ranks so that you would eventually dominate and lead Cat Wondend and understand how the whole Cat Wondend operates.¡±

    ¡°Eh? Is that really the case?¡± Kun Wu was dazed for a moment. ¡°Zhao Yao actually had such real intentions behind his arrangement?¡±

    Doll thought for a bit as well, ¡°He made it sound so convincing.¡±

    Zhao Yao lowered Kun Wu into his arms, cuddling her as he said, ¡°Kun Wu, I know that living on the Cat Ind is morefortable than living in Cat Wondend but is enjoying luxury at a young age what you really need?

    Don¡¯t keep thinking of seeking gain when you¡¯re young. Think about what you can contribute first. At your age, gaining experience is much more invaluablepared to earning some quick money. Because once your ability upgrades and your experience increases, money will naturallye to your hands.¡±

    Kun Wu thought to herself, ¡°This kind of makes sense.¡±

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°You¡¯re around the same age as Elizabeth right? Do you know that her live stream tips totalled more than 10 000 dorsst month? You¡¯re being left behind by cats of your age!¡±

    ¡°Ah!¡± Kun Wu was about to go crazy. ¡°I¡¯m only earning 10 dors a day now! While Elizabeth is already earning so much? I feel so anxious suddenly!¡± Kun Wu started biting her own fur involuntarily.

    Zhao Yao went on, ¡°The biggest regret in life is not ¡®not working hard enough¡¯. It is, ¡®you could have done that¡¯.¡±

    Kun Wu thought, ¡°This suddenly became so deep!¡±

    Zhao Yao added, ¡°A supercat¡¯s life without working overtime is iplete!¡±

    Kun Wu was stunned. ¡°I didn¡¯t know working overtime was so important!!¡±

    Zhao Yao: ¡°Don¡¯t ask what your Boss can give you! Ask yourself what you can give your Boss!¡±

    Kun Wu was rmed. ¡°I can¡¯t give anything! What should I do!¡±

    Zhao Yao stared into Kun Wu¡¯s eyes and asked, ¡°Kun Wu, now you want to happily go back to Cat Ind with Matcha and the rest. Butpare living a mundane supercat life there to one in the Cat Wondend, training your abilities and bing a better version of yourself to catch up to cats of the same age. Which would you choose?¡±

    Kun Wu gritted her teeth. She really wanted to say that she would rather stay in the Cat Wondend but at the thought of Project X, as well as the feeling in her body, she insisted, ¡°Sorry, I... I still want to stay on Cat Ind.¡±

    As she said that, Kun Wu lowered her head, not daring to look Zhao Yao in the eye. She felt that she disappointed him.

    Zhao Yao smoothed his shirt at the chest area. Sheriff, hidden beneath his clothes, told him telepathically, ¡°Kun Wu still wants to go and see Project X. However, she doesn¡¯t seem to know why she wants to either.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and said to Kun Wu, ¡°Since you want to go to the Cat Ind so badly, you can, it¡¯s not impossible. As long as you hit the top sales record for this month, I will trust that you will be able to withstand the temptations on the Cat Ind and let you stay there.¡±

    Kun Wu was ted. ¡°Really?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± Zhao Yao stroked Kun Wu¡¯s chin and said, ¡°I believe in your talents. Topping the sales records is only the first step. There are much better positions waiting for you at Cat Wondend.¡±

    Kun Wu said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Zhao Yao, I will definitely work hard!¡±

    Zhao Yao turned and looked at Doll at the side. To his surprise, Doll knelt to the ground and screamed, ¡°Boss! I want to work overtime!¡±

    Sheriff, hidden in Zhao Yao¡¯s clothes, was not amused at all as he remarked, ¡°Two idiots.¡±

    After sending off Kun Wu and Doll, Zhao Yao recalled, ¡°Project X and Kun Wu¡¯s appearance do resemble each other in many ways. However, their abilities are worlds apart. Is that a coincidence? Or do they share a special rtionship?¡±

    Zhao Yao had already questioned Project X on simr topic but judging from Sheriff¡¯s mind reading ability, Project X himself was unsure if he had any connection with Kun Wu. Project X was even uncertain about his own background. It was as if...

    ¡°As if they had amnesia,¡± Zhao Yao browsed through various information on supercats on the Cat Web. He thought to himself, ¡°Meteorites awakened the superpowers in cats. Project X seemed to havee to Earth by riding on a meteorite, while Kun Wu transformed from a normal cat to one that resembles Project X. And that supercat with the revival ability...¡±

    Zhao Yao felt that there was some sort of hidden connection amongst all these things. However, a part of the puzzle was still missing. This made it difficult to connect the leads to form a coherent picture.

    ¡°In any case, I should just focus on improving my skills. I shouldn¡¯t let Kun Wu and Project X meet unless I¡¯m very sure of my capability to overpower him, lest anything happens and spins out of my control.¡±

    After making that decision, Zhao Yao opened the browser and started shopping online.

    Zhao Yao saw rows of masks listed on the webpage, making him undecided on which to choose. He asked, ¡°Sheriff, which one do you think looks better?¡±

    Sheriff stuck his head out from Zhao Yao¡¯s cor and thought to himself, ¡°Does he want to be ttered again? This guy is so troublesome.¡± He revealed a ttering smile on his face and said sweetly, ¡°Zhao Yao, you¡¯ll look handsome in any mask.¡±

    When Airne saw the message from Meat Bun, he was shocked and immediately asked him to go into hiding for the time being while he began to panic in earnest.

    ¡°Matcha¡¯s status has been rising continuously. I feel like I¡¯m going to lose my post as the head of the Royal Cat Guards soon,¡± Airne thought to himself. ¡°I really want to know what Zhao Yao is thinking. But it seems like eavesdropping will be too difficult...¡±

    As he thought about it, Airne ran towards another part of the Cat Wondend. From afar, he could see that on the sofa in the lounge, Matcha was rolling around in his lion onesie, meowing out loud.

    ...

    Matcha said excitedly, ¡°Elizabeth, look! Don¡¯t I look really majestic now? And really imposing? Doesn¡¯t this give off the feel of a lion?¡±

    Elizabeth side-eyed him and said, ¡°Idiot.¡±

    Matchaughed, ¡°Are you jealous of my thick and sexy mane?¡±

    Elizabeth pursed her lips and activated her power of illusion. Matcha immediately felt as if his mane was on fire as he started shrieking wildly and rolling around on the floor.

    Airne watched the scene before him silently. ¡°I wanted to discuss with Matcha about this at first, but is there really a need to discuss anything with this guy? Forget it. Even if he takes over as the head of the Royal Cat Guards, I can still manipte him right?¡±

    With that thought, Airne suddenly felt the burden on his shoulders lessen and instantly rxed.

    ¡°I should go back to work. I¡¯m really thinking too much.¡±

    ...

    Half a day passed and Zhao Yao was still choosing a mask. He still had not found one that he really liked.

    ¡°This doesn¡¯t make sense. Would a Headless Horseman with a mask still be called the Headless Horseman?¡± Zhao Yao pinched on his chin as the thought, ¡°Is there a way to restore my reputation to its former glory?¡±

    One by one, the abilities of the supercats shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s mind. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

    ¡°Our vision is due to the reflection and refraction of light. If I can prevent the light rays from reflecting and refracting, maybe I can conceal myself.¡±

    To aplish that, the first power that came to Zhao Yao¡¯s mind was the Deflective Field.

    ¡°Let¡¯s set the deflecting target of the Deflective Field to light. Then...¡±

    Zhao Yao covered his whole body with the Deflective Field before he tried to prevent light from reflecting and refracting away from his body.

    After trying for half an hour, he was still unable to fully conceal himself, though his body was distorted into a weird shape as if he was staring at a distorting mirror.

    Even then, Zhao Yao did not lose hope. In fact, he became more confident.

    ¡°This really changed visual perception. This proves that my train of thought is correct. As long as I can prevent light from reflecting off my bod and make it pass around my body like ripples, I will be able to conceal myself.¡±

    However, the whole process was obviously not so simple. Given Zhao Yao¡¯s current power of six cats, superhuman perception, reflex, calction abilities, he was still unable to achieve this after training for one whole hour.

    Hence, Zhao Yao decided to take a break before training again. He went on the Cat Web to search for more news of the location of the meteorite fragments.

    Suddenly, an advertisement appeared.

    ¡°Are you still vexed over disobedient supercats?¡±

    ¡°Are you still racking your brains to plead him to lend you his abilities?¡±

    ¡°Are you still heartbroken over your supercats emptying out your bank ount?¡±

    ¡°The Light of Dawn Supercats Training Academy will let your supercats be more obedient than dogs.¡±

    When he saw this advertisement, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up instantaneously. He immediately clicked on it and realized it was a video advertisement.

    A woman opened the room door and saw a badly scratched sofa. Cat snacks were scattered all over and there was even some cat poop outside the toilet.

    A chubby fat caty on the sofa, ncing at the female master with disdain.

    ¡°Mei Mei is a tabby cat I picked up from the streets three years ago. Around two years ago, she was still a smart and obedient who woulde and bump me when I came back home from work.¡± The woman started crying as she said, ¡°But after she awakened, everything changed. She refused to eat cat snacks, and insisted on eating whatever I was eating.

    Once the cat toilet got slightly dirty she would shit right outside it.¡±

    ¡°Afterwards, I gave her my phone to y with so that she would stop making a fuss. Little did I know that things would spin out of control.¡± The woman sobbed uncontrobly. ¡°She wants to snatch my phone from me to y with it everyday. After that she peeked at my PIN when I was sending money so that she could secretly top up more than 50k into her game. She even knew to cancel the message notifications from my bank.

    One day, I wanted to withdraw money. That was when I realized there was only 3.60 dors left in my bank ount. I went to check my bank records before I realized she used all my money for her game boosters and even tipped a live stream host called Lizzie.¡±

    Voice-over: ¡°Then after you found out, did she apologize? Did you hit her?¡±

    ¡°Why would she apologize?¡± The woman sighed. ¡°I really wanted to hit her, but I know that I¡¯m no match for her. Even when I just pat her head she bares her teeth and snarls at me. She even used her superpower to make the cup on the table break into pieces.¡±

    Voice-over: ¡°Then what were you thinking of at that time?¡±

    ¡°Then I just thought that this cat was beyond redemption and that I couldn¡¯t keep her as a pet anymore. But I couldn¡¯t bear to ditch her. Afterall, I picked her up when she was just the size of my palm and raised her for so many years.¡±

    Voice-over: ¡°What happened afterwards?¡±

    ¡°After that, I told my best friend about this. They said I couldn¡¯t continue raising my cat like this or else something worse would happen. She said she knew a cat trainer that was worth giving a try.¡± The woman sighed. ¡°At that time I had really lost all hope and couldn¡¯t think of any other solution, so I decided to make a Hail Mary effort and give it a try.¡±

    Voice-over: ¡°Mei Mei is the ssic evil cat who unleashes her tyranny at home and walks over her master. A family is about to break apart because of her and her owner is already at her wits¡¯ end.¡±

    ¡°But just after a month, a miracle happened.¡±

    The scene immediately changed into a happy one.

    The owner was running in a field with Mei Mei tagging behind when a wolf suddenly appeared.

    ¡°Mei Mei, attack!¡±

    ¡°Dodge the attack, Mei Mei!¡±

    ¡°Use the Light of Death and Destruction!¡±

    The video came to an end as a line of small words appeared on the screen, ¡°Every cat lover can be a supercat trainer.¡±

    After watching the whole advertisement, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes were sparkling with delight.

    However, Sheriff came out from his cor feeling unnerved. ¡°D*mn, don¡¯t tell me Zhao Yao is thinking of sending us to this dubious academy?¡±

    ¡°Hold up.¡± Sheriff read Zhao Yao¡¯s thoughts carefully. His expression became weirder as he did.

    ¡°A supercat training school is such a brilliant idea.¡± Zhao Yao pped the table excitedly. ¡°Whose money is the easiest to earn now? Women, children and cats. The field of supercat education will be such a huge market.¡±

    Sheriff paused for moment. ¡°Are there really people who would send their supercats to be trained in a school?¡±

    ¡°Of course. The supercat poption in Jianghai had already surpassed 10 000. Among them, more than 20 000 supercats are family pets, while the apostles that own them have mostly mastered the methods to earn money by borrowing the superpowers of their supercats. They might even receive funding from the government, so they will definitely not be poor.¡±

    Zhao Yao spoke as if from experience, ¡°Although supercats are intelligent, theyck social skills and experience. Coupled with their supernatural powers, if they are not properly trained, most of them will be small tyrants in their own right, beyond the control of their original masters.¡±

    ¡°So I have decided to open a supercat academy that specializes in helping others to educate and train their supercats, so that they can adapt to this society ¨C understand its rules, mannerisms and thereafter, use their superpowers for a proper cause.¡±

    Sheriff nodded in agreement. ¡°Sounds just like Project X¡¯s school for battle cops.¡±

    ¡°No, it¡¯s totally different!¡± Zhao Yao said indignantly. ¡°We¡¯ll charge school fees and it will be really expensive.¡±

    The more Zhao Yao thought about it, the more he felt that it was viable business. Especially with his reputation as the Headless Horseman. It would definitely attract many people to send their supercats for training and education.

    ¡°Whatever youck, you should neverck education. Which supercat owner wouldn¡¯t want their supercats to be obedient and earn money with their superpowers? A supercat school is definitely a lucrative business.¡±

    ¡°I have decided, the school will be built on the fifth floor of the Cat Wondend. It will be named Jianghai School for Talented Cats and called Y Academy in short,¡± Zhao Yao thought. ¡°Besides the original casino, massage parlour, beverage shops, and all other forms of entertainment, this will be another huge source of ie for the Cat Wondend. If 10 000 catse to the cat school and we collect 10 000 school fees from each cat, that would amount to 100 million dors. How many experience points would that give me at the end of the month then?¡±

    Sheriff was silently feeling sorry for the supercats that were about to be enrolled into the academy. ¡°You can only me your bad fate for this...¡±

    Very quickly, the news of the Headless Horseman starting a Y Academy spread through the whole of Jianghai. Everyone was curious as to what the academy would be like, especially if it, as the Headless Horseman had said, would magically educate and train supercats.

    Of course, as much as there were humans who were curious about and supported the cause, there were also supercats who were strongly against it.

    On the day of its opening, there were supercats that came to the Cat Wondend and shat right at its entrance to protest against what they saw as a form of abuse towards supercats.

    However, the five supercats thatmitted the act were caught on the day itself as Zhao Yao sniffed them out. They became the first batch of students to attend Y Academy.

    ...

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and observed the situation in Y Academy. He was vexed by the turnout. ¡°What¡¯s going on? No one actually came to sign up. Is it because the advertisements were too little? Or is the telephone number wrong?¡±

    He turned to Matcha and said, ¡°Matcha, go check if the telephone number is written correctly.¡±

    Matcha checked and reported back, ¡°It¡¯s correct.¡±

    ¡°Then why is this happening?¡± Zhao Yao could not understand what was going on. However, right at that moment, his ears twitched as he heard something from the back of his head.

    However, Zhao Yao did not move at all. Only the muscles on his body tensed up, before he startedughing coldly.

    Not long after, an ear-splitting scream came from behind him.

    ck Panther was clutching his right hand, feeling as if it was about to fracture.

    He stared at Zhao Yao¡¯s kidneys and remarked in shock and amazement, ¡°Teacher, your physique is really good.¡±

    ¡°Heh heh.¡± Zhao Yao brushed it off. ¡°Ever heard of iron kidneys?¡±

    Seeing how ck Panther was trembling in pain, Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you go and help Uncle Ho and his men find the remains of King of Death? Why did youe back? Is there something wrong?¡±

    ck Panther replied, ¡°We can¡¯t find any trace of King of Death at all. We don¡¯t know where he went. I came here this time because I heard that you, teacher, had just opened a Y Academy. A friend of mine wants to sign up, so he wanted me to ask you if there were any discounts and to give him a tour of the the school as well.¡±

    ¡°Your friend wants to sign up?¡± Zhao Yao immediately broke into a smile. ¡°We have standard package deals here, split into upper, middle, and lower profile deals. I personally rmend the middle profile package, ¡®The Filial Grandson Shun Sun¡¯ which can move the heavens. In just a month, I assure you, your supercat will be as close to your father as he is to you.¡±

    ¡°That expensive?¡± ck Panther sighed. ¡°Is there a cheaper one?¡±

    ¡°Cheaper one?¡± The passion on Zhao Yao¡¯s face immediately reduced by 99%. He continued nonchntly, ¡°There¡¯s a ¡®Happy Cat¡¯ package, just 10 000 will do. It will teach the cat how to adjust to modern society and be a cat that won¡¯t scratch, bite, or abuse their superpowers on other people, bing a cultured cat that understands cat lovers.¡±

    ck Panther asked, ¡°Then can we have a tour around the school?¡±

    Zhao Yao yawned as he was bored, ¡°Matcha, show ck Panther around. I¡¯m going to take an afternoon nap.¡± As he said that, he closed his eyes and slumped on the table to sleep. His body trembled slightly as he snored.

    Matcha brought ck Panther up to the fifth floor of the Cat Wondend with delight, ¡°Hehe! This sale will be counted under my name!¡±

    Once they entered the academy on the fifth floor, Matcha used his phone to introduce the ce as he brought ck Panther around. ¡°Our Y Academy is a legitimate supercat school. The teachers here have undergone strict training and are very experienced in teaching, adopting an international educational model...¡±

    ck Panther interjected, ¡°I heard that no students have enrolled here so far?¡±

    ¡°How is that possible!¡± Matcha jumped as if he was being stepped on his tail. He typed furiously on his phone as the voice recording spoke, ¡°There are many supercats that have already enrolled at our school. I will show you if you don¡¯t believe me.¡±

    As he said that, he brought ck Panther deep into the heart of the Y Academy.

    The first cats they saw were the cats, Rice Cake, Meat Bun, Airne, Sausage, Cheese, and Kimchi. They sat on the field quietly. Elizabeth sat before them, holding a cat stick in her mouth.

    Matcha introduced, ¡°These students are having physical education lessons now. This part of our school has no wifi or inte connection, so the supercats thate in here will no longer feel like ying games after they graduate, even if they were addicted to games before this. They would prefer exercising with humans more.¡±

    ck Panther nodded. He saw Elizabeth instructing the supercats before her, ¡°ss, let¡¯s y with the cat stick today.¡±

    Rice Cake jumped with joy, ¡°Great! I love ying with the cat stick!¡±

    Airne chirped, ¡°Teacher! Let¡¯s y with the cat stick together. It will be so fun!¡±

    Cheese chirped, ¡°It¡¯s such a great day ying the cat stick with my sister!¡±

    As Elizabeth threw out the cat stick, the supercats waved their pawszily.

    ck Panther frowned, ¡°They don¡¯t seem very excited about it?¡±

    ¡°How is that possible?¡± Matcha screamed. ¡°How can they not be happy!¡±

    Rice Cake and the other cats could be seen speeding up instantly from afar. They leapt at the cat stick fervently, wagging their tails as they yed together with their ears cocked upright, as if they were really into it.

    Me-ow!! All of a sudden, an agonizing scream split through the air.

    ck Panther cocked his head to one side. ¡°Why do I hear agonizing screams...¡± He stared at the room in the distance and saw the sign on it, ¡°What¡¯s that counselling room for?¡±

    Matcha immediately ran up and shut the door as he said, ¡°This is for the student and the psychologist to have deep conversations. Our Y Academy specially arranged for a psychologist with a rich cat life experience for students to talk to the teacher about their troubles and relieve their stress.¡±

    In the counselling room, Uncle Egg was wearing arge white coat and pointing on the supercat¡¯s body on the bed, ¡°Do you still dare to shit wherever you like in the Cat Wondend?¡±

    As a bolt of lightning shed and convulsed, the supercat lying on the bed immediately screamed, ¡°No! No! I won¡¯t ever dare to shit again!¡±

    ck Panther looked at Rice Cake and the cats ying on the field, nodded, and felt very good.

    Matcha waved as he walked towards ck Panther and punched on his cell phone which said, ¡°Mr Panther, let¡¯s proceed to the level below. We trained the students from young to have an international outlook and be multilingual. So we arranged for a foreign tutor for them to converse in a foreignnguage during the course of teaching.¡±

    ck Panther¡¯s eyes lit up as he asked, surprised, ¡°Oh? You have a foreign tutor?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Matcha said, ¡°Once the supercats have learned foreignnguages, they will be good trantors for Zhao Yao. Besides superpowers, we are uncovering the supercats¡¯ other potential.¡±

    ck Panther nodded with satisfaction as he felt this was fantastic. He followed Matcha to the outside of a ssroom and saw Fish Ball, Cannon, and Lightning sitting and staring at the ckboard obediently.

    Noodle stood in front of the cats and barked non-stop. Fish Ball and the rest of the cats followed the barking.

    ck Panther was astonished and said, ¡°Is he the foreign tutor? A husky?¡±

    Matcha nodded and said, ¡°Yes, the husky was a superdog tutor hired from ska. His nationality and race are so uniquely different. He is indeed the best of all foreign tutors.¡±

    ck Panther asked hesitantly, ¡°Superdog? What¡¯s he teaching?¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s teaching dognguage.¡± Matcha said, ¡°The structure of a cat allows us to make hundreds of different sounds. Foreignnguages are a piece of cake to us.¡±

    ck Panther nodded and said, ¡°Awesome.¡±

    Seeing ck Panther nod with satisfaction, Matcha felt happy and thought that he was going to make the deal. He brought ck Panther to the canteen.

    They saw Midnight struggling to prepare cat meals in the kitchen.

    Midnight said, ¡°Zhao Yao¡¯s a b*stard to make the three of us help out with the buffet. Now he makes me prepare cat meals while Lang Gou and his buddy help out at the buffet. He is squeezing us dry.¡±

    Matcha exined, ¡°Our school is isted from the outside world and disconnected from the inte 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. The food that the cats eat is selected personally by Zhao Yao and ording to American ANC animal feeding standards. This happy cat meal ensures a healthy body, beautiful fur, improved intelligence, and elevated superpower.¡±

    ck Panther nodded and Matcha asked, ¡°How¡¯s it Mr Panther? Do you want to sign up today? Let me check the sign up list...¡±

    Matcha pretended to look at his cell phone, ¡°Woah! There¡¯s only a single spot left!¡±

    He looked anxiously at ck Panther and typed furiously on his cell phone that said, ¡°Mr Panther, I am not bragging but you have witnessed the amazing facilities, curriculum, and tutors which makes us the Stanford of cat education and the Ivy League of China. There¡¯s only one spot left and it will be extremely popr.¡±

    ck Panther frowned and said, ¡°This is a private school. Let¡¯s not discuss the standards of the education. Is the graduation certificate recognized outside?¡±

    ¡°You are smart! You had hit the nail on the head,¡± Matcha said. ¡°Please take a look here...¡±

    Matcha brought ck Panther to arge wall with a gigantic name register. Zhao Yao, the Headless Horseman, appeared at the top of the list.

    ¡°All the cat schrs who graduated from our college Y will be the disciples of the Headless Horseman. I don¡¯t have to remind you of the Headless Horseman¡¯s fame in Jianghai, do I?¡±

    Matcha meowed excitedly, ¡°A disciple of the Headless Horseman can do what he wants in Jianghai.

    When you buy cat beans and don¡¯t pay, nobody¡¯ll dare to say a word. What we want is a domineering and confident attitude. Don¡¯t you agree that this certificate is invaluable?

    I work here every day. I would like to stay here, study and pave way for my future.¡±

    ¡°Hmm...¡± ck Panther was tempted and scratched his head in embarrassment. He hesitated and said, ¡°The 10,000 dors in fees... could they be cheaper?¡±

    Matcha frowned with scorn and his ears drooped as he said, ¡°Sorry, our college is the Ivy League of China. The stated fee is already the lowest. If you find it expensive, go through the entrance, turn left and walk for 500 meters. There is a pet shop that provides foster care for 20 dors a day. You can get a graduation certificate too.¡±

    ck Panther gritted his teeth and hesitated.

    Matcha furrowed his brows and cleared his throat loudly. An orange cat scurried from a distance and knocked into Matcha¡¯s stomach.

    Matcha introduced Milk Tea to ck Panther, ¡°This is one of our graduates, Milk Tea. Do you feel a difference in our graduated supercat?¡±

    ck Panther looked at Milk Tea, who widened his eyes, rubbed against ck Panther, sat down obediently beside him and hugged his leg happily.

    ck Panther was shocked and thought, ¡°This cat is very obedient!¡±

    Milk Tea climbed up ck Panther¡¯s pants to his shoulders and pressed his paw on ck Panther¡¯s shoulders.

    Matcha was at the side, using his cell phone to trante, ¡°He said you looked tired, so he is helping you massage your shoulders.¡±

    ck Panther was moved as he recalled his cat, who would only ask for money. Milk Tea had only met him the first time and massaged his shoulders so ck Panther could not resist caressing Milk Tea¡¯s head. ¡°You are so obedient.¡±

    Seeing Milk Tea rub his palm, ck Panther ground his teeth, stamped his feet, and said, ¡°Okay, reserve one slot for me.¡±

    Matcha was exhrated. At a nearby corner, Fish Ball, Elizabeth, Lightning, Rice Cake... popped their heads out to spy on Matcha and ck Panther.

    Elizabeth said, ¡°When Matcha is swindling people, his intelligence is extremely high.¡±

    Fish Ball spat out his tongue and said, ¡°He¡¯s followed Zhao Yao since he was young. He must have learned it from Zhao Yao.¡±

    Rice Cake showed her tired face and said, ¡°Finally, we have an official student. Do we still have to carry on acting?¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded when he saw the done deal. Looking at Matcha approach him, he said, ¡°Not bad Matcha, you have grown up during this period.¡±

    ¡°Of course, I am no longer the silly cat who resorts to violence.¡± Matcha puffed up his chest and looked at Zhao Yao as he said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry Zhao Yao, this is only the beginning! There will be more and more students in college Y. I have nned a new batch of advertisements, however, the expenses...¡±

    ¡°You shall report the expenses to me. As long as it is reasonable, I will support you. Matcha, do your best.¡± Zhao Yao looked at Matcha leave excitedly and pinched his brow chakra as he thought, ¡°Matcha preferred swindling to fighting... he loves making money and entrepreneurship. Perhaps he is more suited to business than fighting.¡±

    ¡°Did you mention swindling just now?¡± Sheriff curled up in Zhao Yao¡¯s clothing and thought, ¡°Hmm... how many innocent cats are going to be swindled this time?¡±

    In the following month, Zhao Yaopleted missions everyday and managed Cat Wondend. College Y, under Matcha¡¯s active promotion, gained considerable prestige and enrolled dozens of students. For a local Jianghai cat, it was tempting to be a disciple of the Headless Horseman as they would feel more empowered in a fight.

    This ie paled inparison to Zhao Yao¡¯s assets but they helped earn valuable experience points.

    A month passed by very fast. During this uneventful period, Zhao Yao earned a considerable amount of experience points.

    End of month summary:

    For Cat Wondend¡¯s ount, after deducting costs, the month¡¯s profit was 6 276 541 dors and Zhao Yao could earn 12 500 experience points and start the next month¡¯s missions.

    Zhao Yao smiled as he thought about Cat Wondend¡¯s burgeoning fame, the expanding plethora of food and entertainment in the Wondend and college Y¡¯s ie. This month¡¯s profit had increased.

    Zhao Yao pressed on the mission panel and obtained 25 000 experience points.

    Adding up the experience points earned frompleting missions and providing cat meals, the mission panel showed:

    BOOK: Level 7 (62077/50000)

    Matcha: Level 8 (10810/50000)

    Elizabeth: Level 9 (5600/100000)

    Dust Ball: Level 9 (4900/100000)

    Ares: Level 8 (4900/50000)

    Lucifer: Level 7 (5000/20000)

    Sphynx Cat: Level 7 (5000/20000)

    Catherine: Level 6 (3000/10000)

    ¡°Hmm, Dust Ball and Elizabeth are headed for level 10, so it is difficult for them to upgrade as the experience points required isrge.¡± Zhao Yao frowned and said, ¡°Sphynx cat is unable to upgrade leaving only Matcha, Ares, Lucifer, and Catherine. Who should I upgrade?¡±

    Zhao Yao started thinking though he had considered many times this month. He was unable to make a decision as he did not know what special skills would appear after upgrading a level.

    ¡°The guiding principle for a level upgrade is survivability.¡± This was the lesson he had learnt after Zhao Yao fought against Project X.

    ¡°As long as he is able to survive, he will have the chance to defeat the opponent. A standing DPS (Damage per second) is a hero.¡±

    Zhao Yao scanned through the names of the supercats and thought, ¡°The ones with the highest survivability are Matcha and Lucifer. Catherine is also a suitable candidate. Should I upgrade one level? Or contract another cat?¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head. ¡°My experience points are insufficient. If I upgrade a cat, then contract a cat, the level upgrade is limited and strength is low.¡±

    Zhao Yao gazed towards Matcha, Lucifer, and Catherine as he pondered.

    ¡°Catherine is the best choice as her level is low, she will upgrade faster, gain more skills, and the upgrade will be more significant. The remaining experience points can be used to upgrade Lucifer.¡±

    Zhao Yao awarded Catherine experience points and she was upgraded two levels to level 8. Another 15 000 experience points were given to Lucifer, who was upgraded one level to Level 8.

    After upgrading the two cats, Zhao Yao happily opened up Catherine¡¯s skill tree to see the new abilities.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up and he chose very quickly.

    The first one was Dual Mode Transmission. Catherine¡¯s Sleep Medusa was upgraded to transmit by both visual and audio cues. Besides looking at her, anyone hearing her voice would fall asleep and wake up in terror.

    Zhao Yao saw that after two more level upgrades in the future, people who saw Catherine via video or thought about her would fall asleep. That would be a powerful ability to have.

    The second skill was Doubling Duration. Once the Sleep Medusa was activated, within a day, the duration of the sleep and terror state of the consecutive exposure would be doubled.

    Catherine was at Level 8. The affected victims would sleep for 8 seconds, followed by 8 seconds of waking up in terror. The second exposure would cause 16 seconds of effects while the third exposure would result in 32 seconds of effects.

    ¡°Not bad, whether people see or hear Catherine, they will fall asleep and wake up in terror.¡± Zhao Yao nodded with satisfaction. ¡°Repeated exposures will result in doubling of the effects duration. This is a good superpower.¡±

    Without special equipment and support of superpowers, his enemies would have to shut off the eyes and ears when fighting with Zhao Yao. That would severely handicap his enemies.

    After upgrading Catherine¡¯s superpower, Zhao Yao looked at the Level 8 Lucifer.

    He chose Advanced King of Death: When constitution dropped below 15%, the regeneration rate would increase 100 times for 10 minutes and the cooling down period was six hours.

    ¡°The constitution level has risen from 10% to 15%, the duration from 6 minutes to 10 minutes, the cooling down period from 12 hours to 6 hours. Not bad, my survivability is getting stronger.¡±

    Zhao Yao was very pleased with the newly acquired skills and turned his attention to the catmint market ount.

    The Dust Ball catmint had taken 57% share of the market and it provided Zhao Yao 57 lottery chances.

    ¡°Pretty impressive, 57 lottery chances. Will I get lucky?¡±

    Zhao Yao washed his hands, got hold of Red Packet and pinched him very hard.

    Red Packet frowned and thought, ¡°Why am I being pinched by Zhao Yao at the end of every month?¡±

    After pinching Red Packet, Zhao Yao felt extremely lucky. He closed his eyes and used up 10 lottery chances.

    Experience points, experience points, experience points, one packet of Spicy Cat Strips (10 strips), Cat Prince Costume Fragments...

    Zhao Yao inspected his goodies and did not discover anything special. He sighed and used up all remaining 47 lottery chances.

    ¡°Experience points... experience points... experience points... Spicy Cat Strips... fragments...¡±

    In the next instant, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up.

    ¡°Huh? Dragon ying Saber?¡±

    Having drawn the Dragon ying Saber, Zhao Yao was very excited. The name sounded like a special weapon but he did not know the superpower of the de.

    He umted more than a thousand experience points, more than ten packets of Spicy Cat Strips, eight Cat Prince Costume Fragments and the Dragon ying Saber.

    ¡°Cat Prince Costume Fragments (19/80)... I can wear it in a few months.¡± Zhao Yao felt wonderful as he looked at his goodies. ¡°I have lots of Spicy Cat Strips and this Dragon ying Saber.¡±

    After rubbing his hands, Zhao Yao selected the saber and his palm emitted white mists. A solid gold saber, which was carved with numerous dragon motifs and exuded splendor and an imposing aura, appeared in his hands.

    ¡°This Dragon ying Saber...¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s thumbs squeezed on the handle and thought, ¡°Isn¡¯t it small?¡±

    The Dragon ying Saber was only asrge as a toothpick.

    ¡°What¡¯s the use of this saber?¡± Zhao Yao felt the message sent by BOOK and he wanted to understand the use of the toothpick-sized saber.

    ¡°After an attack by the Dragon ying Sabre, the de will do a verification. Those who fail the verification are not be able to use their superpowers for ten seconds.¡±

    ¡°Oh!¡± Zhao Yaoughed heartily. ¡°This superpower is very useful and is able to stop superpowers for ten seconds.¡±

    With Zhao Yao¡¯s currentbat strength, if his enemies¡¯ superpowers were stopped for ten seconds, they were as good as dead.

    ¡°What¡¯s a Dragon ying verification?¡± Zhao Yao thought. ¡°Do I have to y a dragon?¡±

    Zhao Yao decided to test it as he could not figure it out.

    ¡°Anyway, it is just the stopping of a superpower...¡± Zhao Yao wanted to cut himself with the saber but he had another idea and looked at Red Packet who was in his arms.

    ¡°Anyway, it¡¯s just stopping a superpower...¡±

    Zhao Yao gently pricked Red Packet¡¯s buttocks with the toothpick-sized Dragon ying Saber.

    ¡°Red Packet?¡± Zhao Yao looked at Red Packet and asked, ¡°What feelings do you have?¡±

    ¡°What feelings?¡±

    Zhao Yao felt puzzled. ¡°Was I too gentle?¡± After pondering, he jabbed harder on Red Packet.

    Red Packet jumped from his arms and eximed, ¡°You jabbed my buttocks...¡±

    Without finishing his words, Red Packet lost his consciousness and his vision became dark. He discovered he was in the middle of a white and clean room.

    A group of people, who were wearing surgical masks, surrounded him. He wanted to move but his limbs were bounded as heid on a table.

    Seeing the masked strangers about to touch him, Red Packet shouted angrily, ¡°Hey! What¡¯re you doing? Where¡¯s Zhao Yao?¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao! Save me!¡±

    He was terrified when a masked man took out a surgery knife and shed repeatedly at the bottom part of his body, which felt cold. The masked man operated on his family jewels.

    ¡°No!¡±

    He screamed in pain. When he recovered, he was sprawled on the ground and his two testicles were thrown in front of him. A man stomped on his testicles.

    ¡°My testicles! Those are my testicles!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t step! Don¡¯t step on my testicles!¡±

    A squishing sound was heard as arge leg stomped on the testicles. Red Packet broke down. He lifted his head and wailed, ¡°Ah!!!¡±

    In reality, Zhao Yao observed that Red Packet was stunned and he fell to the ground with an expression of hopelessness.

    Zhao Yao asked curiously, ¡°Red Packet? How are you? Do you have any special feelings?¡±

    Red Packet did not respond as tears flowed from his eyes.

    Zhao Yao was anxious and shook Red Packet¡¯s body as he said, ¡°What happened, Red Packet? Red Packet?¡±

    Red Packet recovered from his daze and immediately lifted up his leg. After checking the bottom part of his body, he heaved in relief.

    ¡°They are still intact... intact...¡±

    He leaned forward and licked his body joyfully.

    Zhao Yao was puzzled and asked, ¡°Red Packet, what happened?¡±

    Red Packet told Zhao Yao about the things that happened. Zhao Yao looked in shock at the Dragon ying Saber in his hand. ¡°This is indeed a Dragon ying Saber! Fortunately, I didn¡¯t test it myself.¡±

    Seeing Zhao Yao¡¯s gaze fixed on him, Red Packet jumped back in fright and said anxiously, ¡°Zhao Yao! What are you going to do?¡±

    ¡°Nothing, nothing.¡± Zhao Yao smiled. He was not going to test on Red Packet as his superpower was not obvious. He wanted a target with an obvious superpower for the experiment.

    ...

    Half an hourter, Zhao Yao held the Dragon ying Saber in his hand, looked to the sky andughed wildly. ¡°Dragon ying Saber... the one de to rule the world. Who dares defy it?¡±

    Behind Zhao Yao, Matcha, Elizabeth, Fish Ball, Lucifer, and Mango fell to the ground with expressions of hopelessness, their eyes welling up with tears.

    Matcha crawled around on the ground shouting, ¡°Where are my testicles? Where did my testicles go to? Who saw my testicles?¡±

    Fish Ballid on the ground and wailed, ¡°I must have sinned!¡±

    ¡°Tomcats and female cats are all affected by the Dragon ying Saber!¡± Zhao Yao said excitedly. ¡°If they are not verified by the saber, they will break down and pass out. Their superpowers will be stopped for ten seconds. Even Mango cannot hold against it.¡±

    Zhao Yao indulged in the magnificence of the saber as he touched the de, ¡°Fine de... a very good de. I wonder if Project X¡¯s able to hold against the Dragon ying verification.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head. Project X was different from the fat and cushy Matcha, Fish Ball, and the rest. Project X was a battle-hardened warrior and it was hard to determine if he would pass the verification. Zhao Yao was not willing to test Project X in the Extradimensional Belly.

    ¡°It is important for me to be strong.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s happy mood was doused. He strung up the saber like a ne and wore it around his neck. ¡°My precious...¡±

    With the Dragon ying Saber, Zhao Yao felt more confident about his trip to the United States.

    After bidding farewell to Bai Quan and Zhao Xue and letting them take care of Cat Wondend, Zhao Yao left in three days. He turned into a ck dot and disappeared into the sky above Jianghai.

    ...

    United States, California.

    At the coastline along Highway 66, Zhao Yao stepped gently on the beach. He looked at the endless sea and thought, ¡°The beach is nicer than Jianghai¡¯s.¡±

    He looked around and it was a scorching summer. Everywhere on the beach were foreigners wearing swimming trunks and costumes. Zhao Yao was eyeing the young women and was astonished by the various shapes and sizes of their figures.

    ¡°These girls are well fed by the capitalist¡¯s sugar-rich diet.¡±

    Zhao Yao gazed at the surrounding beach-goers and they returned the same curious stares.

    As Zhao Yao was wearing a ck robe that covered his whole body at the beach on a hot summer day, he was looking very weird.

    A young woman walked up to Zhao Yao and asked him in English, ¡°Hey, what are you doing? Aren¡¯t you afraid of getting heat stroke by wearing a robe?¡±

    Zhao Yao did not reply. ¡°I came all the way to the United States not to chat with young, pretty and big breasted woman.¡± He shifted his body slightly and shed to a distance of several hundred meters.

    The beach-goers screamed in shock. They looked around but did not find Zhao Yao and thought he was a ghost.

    The young woman who approached Zhao Yao shouted excitedly, ¡°Apostle! That was an apostle!¡± She turned and shouted to her ssmate, ¡°Michael, I told you apostles are real. Do you believe me now?¡±

    Zhao Yao traveled in high speed and arrived at the nearby city.

    The supercats underneath the ck robe felt dizzy. Elizabeth shouted, ¡°Slow down! Zhao Yao! We are going to vomit if you continue to run so fast.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay.¡± Zhao Yao gradually slowed down and walked on the sidewalk. ¡°Let me look for the Star Cats.¡±

    Zhao Yao came to the United States while Uncle Ho and the rest were in the dark. He did not have the Star Cats¡¯ intelligence. To find them in thisrge country, he had to be smart.

    ¡°Look for the United States supernatural realm, then look for Star Cats¡¯ clues.¡±

    Zhao Yao decided to find a few American supercats or apostles and so he had to look for cats first.

    Zhao Yao sniffed the air as he walked along in search of the scent of cats.

    His eyes lit up and he followed the scent of the cats at high speed. Soon, he arrived at a two-storey house.

    California was arge state with a rtively small poption. As it was on the earthquake belt, most of the buildings were not high. Aspared to the densely popted New York, Californians were living in two-storey houses withwns and gardens.

    Zhao Yao detected strong cat scentsing from the house.

    ¡°There are so many cats which is not logical. The supercats must be up to something.¡±

    Zhao Yao focused and a Deflective Field engulfed his entire body and blocked out his reflection and refraction. His figure disappeared into thin air.

    Using the Deflective Field to hide himself was Zhao Yao¡¯s own improvisation so it was far inferior to Roly Poly¡¯s natural and powerful invisibility.

    Although Zhao Yao¡¯s figure was hidden, if someone looked carefully at him, they would see a transparent figure.

    It was sufficient to enter the house discreetly. Zhao Yao moved across thewn and arrived at a window on the second level. His palm moved and the window flew open. He swam like a fish into the building.

    Zhao Yao was overwhelmed by a strong catmint smell.

    Dust Ball came out from his arms excitedly and sniffed the air as she said, ¡°This is a catmint smell. The fragrance and purity... is this from Mexico?¡±

    Zhao Yao pushed Dust Ball¡¯s head back inside the cloak. His ears quivered as he heard numerous breaths. He followed the sounds to the stairway and extended his head to observe.

    In the living room on the first floor, countless American catsid on the sofa, floor, window sill, bar counter, and television. Some were chatting, eating and sniffing the catmint by their side. All were indulging in their enjoyment.

    ¡°Is this their happy hour?¡± Zhao Yao blinked his eyes and thought, ¡°Let me ask them if they know about the Star Cats.¡±

    Underneath the cloak, all supercats were bored except for Dust Ball. She looked energetically at Zhao Yao and shouted, ¡°Let me go! Let me go! Let me find out about the Star Cats, Zhao Yao!¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned. Dust Ball would mess up his n because of her interest in catmint. How could he let her go? He decided to send Elizabeth to chat with the foreign cats.

    Elizabeth descended the stairs and interacted with them. It was a neighborhood gathering and she blended very well with the locals because of her sweet looks and morous fur.

    A few female cats surrounded Elizabeth and chatted non-stop.

    A female British Shorthair asked, ¡°Elizabeth! Your fur looks very white and shiny. What brand of cosmetic fur powder are you using?¡±

    ¡°Cosmetic fur powder?¡± Elizabeth was shocked and said, ¡°Is there such a thing? I haven¡¯t used it.¡±

    The female cats cursed to themselves when they heard Elizabeth¡¯s response. They enthusiastically asked, ¡°What kind of vitamins do you take? Do you take lecithin?¡±

    Elizabeth chatted casually with the female cats until she got a chance to ask, ¡°Do you know about the Star Cats?¡±

    ¡°Star Cats?¡± The British Shorthair, who asked about the cosmetic fur powder, said, ¡°Of course! Everyone in the States knows about the Star Cats. Because of their stand against the government, we were spared from being dissected inboratories.¡±

    Another American Shorthair said, ¡°Yes, yes. The Star Cats are amazing. I wanted to join but they said my superpower was too weak so I was excluded.¡±

    The British Shorthair asked curiously, ¡°What¡¯s your superpower?¡±

    The American Shorthair said, ¡°I can go without using the bathroom.¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°I can go without the bathroom perpetually.¡± The American Shorthair exined, ¡°I don¡¯t know where thises from. No matter how much I eat or drink, I can go without the bathroom forever.¡±

    The British Shorthair said, ¡°Is that an illness? Perhaps constipation? Or enterolith?¡±

    The American Shorthair said angrily, ¡°I said that was my superpower.¡±

    The British Shorthair insisted, ¡°If you¡¯re unable to go to the bathroom, it¡¯s an illness.¡±

    Zhao Yao was piqued as he looked at the American Shorthair. ¡°I¡¯m envious of this superpower. It¡¯s convenient not having to go to the bathroom. This is a great leap forward for the supernatural realm. I¡¯ll ask the catter if she has a home. If she¡¯s a stray cat...¡±

    Zhao Yao was greatly tempted. The more he thought, the happier he felt. ¡°If I contract this cat for her superpower, I¡¯ll be a couch potato for the whole day and drink a carton of coke without the need to use the bathroom. I¡¯ll eat the chafing dish without worrying about piles... no, I¡¯ll lie down on the bed forever...¡±

    Seeing the two cats about to fight, Elizabeth quickly interjected, ¡°I¡¯d like to join the Star Cats. How do I join them? Do you know where they are?¡±

    ¡°The Star Cats have representatives in many cities. The one nearest here...¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t Arthas in Beverly Hills?¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes. Wah, Arthas is very charming!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s very nice! Last I saw him at the South Coast za, we took a selfie! He looks better in real life than on television and doesn¡¯t put on airs.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡±

    Seeing the female cats chatting happily, Elizabeth rolled her eyes. After obtaining the required information, she went upstairs to inform Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao furrowed his brows in surprise. ¡°Arthas? Beverly Hills? The tone of these supercats... I don¡¯t think so...¡±

    The inte had connected the whole world but due tonguage and some mysterious reasons, there was no free flow of information between China and the United States. A lot of high profile American news was unheard of in China.

    If one was to look seriously for the news, they would be able to find it but how many people search for information that they do not know about.

    Zhao Yao had always thought of the American supernatural realm as simr to China¡¯s. However, the supercats¡¯ chat revealed that it was very different.

 Chapter 833: Countryâ€™s Situation

    <h4>Chapter 833: Country¡¯s Situation</h4>

    Realizing that the country¡¯s situation was very different, Zhao Yao decided to check the American inte.

    As he came out of China illegally, he did not apply for international roaming. Fortunately, he found a notebookputer that was left opened without ess code. He browsed the inte to look for news on the American supernatural realm.

    He was overjoyed as the information on supercats and apostles were much more than he expected.

    In China, supercats news were relegated to minor news.

    The American government did not acknowledge superpowers, however, news was not prohibited. During the year of the Awakening, the Star Cats fought against the Army. Then Project X fought against the military. All this supercat news was rampant on the inte.

    Various social media websites, live stream, and video tforms were filled with countless information about supercats.

    In China, supercats were urban legends. Commoners heard of supercats, half of them had seen one and only a small portion knew very well.

    The American public was aware of supercat news but a majority did not believe such news. Only a small portion chose to believe.

    Many supercats became inte sensations by using their superpower and good looks to garner more fame and resources.

    A portion of the Americans thought that supercats were the gimmicks of the Hollywood industry, supported by their teams of celebrity cats.

    Some Americans believed that supercats were new age cults, which were bluffing.

    Some Americans witnessed superpowers and strongly believed in their existence. This was thergest growing group.

    Humans only believed in what they saw or what they chose to believe. Arge portion of the people saw videos of supercats. However, the supercats were out of their understanding, hence they were suspicious of supercats.

    Zhao Yao understood that supercats news were more developed in American society aspared to China¡¯s.

    A lot of supercats had assimted into American society. As the numbers increased, it created a greater eptance of them in society. Months, perhaps a yearter, the general public would officially acknowledge supercats¡¯ existence and they would be part of the American society.

    The winds of change would blow across the globe. Supercats¡¯ status in China would change drastically and it was anybody¡¯s guess what Uncle Ho and the government nned to do.

    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be much of a problem. The integration of the Chinese supercats was not as fast as the American supercats but many Chinese people were aware of the supercats. Even if the government officially acknowledges supercats, it shouldn¡¯t cause much upheaval.¡±

    Since the Awakening of superpowers, Zhao Yao understood that news concerning supercats had gradually filled the minds of the people. A majority of the people on Earth were prepared for the eptance of supercats so it wouldn¡¯t cause much disturbance.

    An advanced city like Los Angeles had a lot of strong believers of supercats.

    Arthas, who was mentioned by a few female cats, was the inte sensation that lived in Beverly Hills. He was one of the nine pioneers of the Star Cats.

    Mission: Kidnap Celebrity Cat

    Mission Objective: Kidnap one of the nine pioneers of Star Cats, Arthas

    Reward: A sessful kidnap is worth 5000 experience points.

    Punishment: None

    Seeing the new mission, Zhao Yao could not help smile. ¡°This is a godsend. Let¡¯s look for him but before that...¡±

    The invisible Zhao Yao went down the stairs like a stream of green smoke. He came to the back of an American Shorthair and pulled her into his cloak. Then he left the house stealthily.

    The American Shorthair saw darkness and felt a powerful force. Then she came to a pitch dark location. As she was about to scream, she discovered furry bodies around her and pairs of eyes leering at her.

    The American Shorthair panicked and quickly pleaded, ¡°Who are you? I don¡¯t have a master. Nobody will pay to redeem me. My superpower is going without using the bathroom. It is useless to capture me.¡±

    ¡°I heard you!¡± Ares looked at the surrounding supercats and said, ¡°Everyone, if there are no objections, I¡¯ll interrogate her.¡±

    For the trip to America, as Roly Poly lost his intelligence and Matcha was not suited to mixed fighting, so they were not brought along with Zhao Yao. The cats with the highest authority were Elizabeth and Ares.

    Elizabeth nodded and said, ¡°As you wish.¡±

    Ares looked at the American Shorthair and asked, ¡°What¡¯s your name, female cat?¡±

    The American Shorthair said, ¡°I¡¯m Mary.¡±

    Ares consoled her and said, ¡°Mary, don¡¯t be afraid, we won¡¯t harm you. It¡¯s good news. Do you know the Headless Horseman?¡±

    Mary shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know him.¡±

    Ares sighed as she was unaware of the famous Jianghai¡¯s Headless Horseman.

    Ares said, ¡°The Headless Horseman¡¯s our boss, who owns a few hundred supercats. He¡¯s the biggest supernatural force in Jianghai. Do you want to join us?¡±

    ¡°Gang membership?¡± Mary was terrified. ¡°I¡¯m only an ordinary supercat. I don¡¯t mix with gang members. Please let me go.¡±

    ¡°We¡¯re not gang members,¡± Ares said, exasperated.¡±We¡¯re doing business in entertainment and our boss has a huge Jianghai mall worth billions of dors. Profit every month is about a few million.¡±

    Mary asked warily, ¡°Are you sure?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± Ares thought for a while and activated his Deflective Field to get his cell phone from his bag. He browsed the photographs in the cell phone to show to Mary.

    Mary looked at photographs showing rows of luxurious rooms, casino tables, grand restaurants, cinemas, main hall and asked suspiciously, ¡°Are they yours?¡±

    Zhao Yao put a stack of US dors into his cloak and shoved them into Mary¡¯s mouth.

    ¡°Don¡¯t say anymore. This is your sry for this month. Is it enough?¡±

    ¡°Enough, Enough.¡± Mary quickly nodded when she saw the US dors in her mouth as she was afraid that Zhao might regret his decision. ¡°Why don¡¯t you pay me for a few months?¡±

    Zhao Yao said to Ares and the cats telepathically, ¡°Did you see that? You can¡¯t reason with these capitalists. Just throw money at them. They will do anything for money.¡±

    Ares frowned and thought, ¡°As if the cats in Cat Wondend weren¡¯t greedy for money as well.¡±

    After employing Mary, Zhao Yao bolted towards Beverly Hills. Due to his astonishing speed, distorted light rays surrounded his body making him look like a spirit. He arrived at the Beverly Hills in a short time.

 Chapter 834: Arthas and the Banquet

    <h4>Chapter 834: Arthas and the Banquet</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    Los Angeles was made up of a cluster of hundreds of districts. It was different from central cities like that of New York and Jianghai. Los Angeles was like a pizza. The residents here settled in the various districts based on differences in race, culture, religion, and ie.

    Beverly Hills was one of the most famous districts in Los Angeles. Many billionaires, Hollywood stars and sports celebrities lived in the area. The area also boasted the most upscale, high-end brands on itsmercial streets as well as many mansions. It was truly an affluent district.

    Zhao Yao arrived at Beverly Hills with the intention to trace down Arthas, the master cat behind Star Cats.

    However, Beverly Hills was not a small area. Some skill was still needed to find a cat here.

    Zhao Yao asked Mary, who was hidden under the cloak, ¡°Where does Arthas live?¡±

    Mary replied, ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±

    Ares gave Mary a tight p on her face, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you were his fan?¡±

    Mary clutched her head and said pitifully, ¡°Everyone was talking about him then, I just went along without knowing anything.¡±

    ¡°You!!¡± Ares was so angry his tail shot straight out as he pped her head again.

    After a few ps, Lucifer stopped Ares halfway and interjected, ¡°Brother, stop hitting her. If you continue hitting her she will die. You can hit me instead.¡±

    Seeing Lucifer¡¯s expression, Ares retracted his paw with a look of disdain on his face. ¡°How did you be like this?¡±

    Lightning said, ¡°Mary, quick say where Arthas lives. Ares will only hit you when he¡¯s angry but if our Boss gets angry, you won¡¯t get away with just a beating.¡± He smiled viciously right after saying that.

    Looking at the Pas cat that had been shaven bald by Project X, Mary felt that his words were very convincing.

    Mary said pitifully, ¡°But I really don¡¯t know.¡±

    Just as the few cats started quarreling with each other under the cloak, Zhao Yao cut them off. ¡°Alright, stop talking. I have a solution.¡±

    Zhao Yao stood invisible atop a roof. He was eyeing a limousine on the nearby street.

    ¡°Arthas is considered a famous cat afterall. The rich people here should have their own social circles, maybe they know where he lives?¡±

    As he thought of that, Zhao Yao had already jumped off, catching up with the limousine nearby.

    Not long after, in a remote alley, Zhao Yao held up a man and asked, ¡°Where is Arthas?¡±

    ¡°Arthas? That supercat?¡±

    Zhao Yao was stunned. ¡°You know him?¡±

    ¡°Which rich man in Hollywood doesn¡¯t know him?¡± The man quickly responded. ¡°This guy throws banquets at his house everyday and invites all the famous people in the city over. I heard that the amount he spends every day on a banquet amounts to millions of US dors.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s such a thing?¡± Zhao Yao eximed. ¡°You¡¯re not lying to me right?¡±

    Sheriff, who was under the cloak said, ¡°Zhao Yao, what he said is true.¡±

    Zhao Yao continued to ask, ¡°Where does Arthas live?¡±

    After getting the answer he was looking for, Zhao Yao threw the guy on the floor and knocked him out.

    ¡°Interesting. Throwing banquets everyday huh?¡± Zhao Yao thought. ¡°The Star Cats are constantly socializing with the elites. Are they trying to integrate into the upper echelons of the human society in this way?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought of Arthas¡¯ motives as he sped up.

    After half an hour, Zhao Yao arrived at a mansion. By then, the sky had turned dark. He watched as limousines drove into the manor, as if there was an event going on.

    ¡°This is troublesome. There¡¯s so many people. If I force my way through, the American troops will be alerted to the scene,¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought carefully. ¡°I think the best way is to maintain the battle at the level of the superpower realm, rather than escting it to the international level.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought for a while before he suddenly turned his gaze on the entrance to the manor. He watched as a Rolls Royce pulled to a stop. When the car door opened, an American Shorthair jumped out.

    ¡°So humans aren¡¯t the only ones attending his banquet?¡± Zhao Yao nodded to himself. ¡°Right, this banquet is not only for the Star Cats to integrate into the elites of society. It also serves as a venue for supercats and humans to interact with each other. They want to unite the interests of both cat and humans.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s pupils constricted for a moment, extending his vision further. He could clearly see the arrogant face of the American Shorthair that had just got out of the car, standing with his chest puffed up. A servant walked over and carried him to attend the banquet, walking wherever the American Shorthair wanted to go.

    ¡°American Shorthair? Maybe I can pass off as one and sneak in.¡±

    Mission: ¡®Sneak¡¯ is just one word

    Mission Objective: Sneak into Arthas¡¯ banquet and find Arthas

    Reward: 1000 experience points

    Punishment: None

    ¡°Not bad,¡± Zhao Yao smiled in satisfaction. He noticed that as his level in the Book increased, it became more in tune with his character and wishes. Most of the time, the missions would arise based on who his targets were.

    ¡°This truly deserves to be an ability of mine. It¡¯s clever enough.¡±

    The next moment, Zhao Yao moved towards the manor in a sh. The optical invisibility provided by the Deflective Field was even better at night. He infiltrated the manor like a night spirit, reaching the back of that American Shorthair.

    When the servant holding the American Shorthair turned at a corner, out of everyone¡¯s sight, a paw stretched out in the dark, pulling both cat and man into the darkness.

    The American Shorthair felt as if his world had reversed before he realized he was in a pitch-dark space. Green, red, and yellow cat eyes stared at him in the dark.

    ¡°Who are you guys? Why did you catch me? No wait...¡± The American Shorthair immediately raised his paw and covered his eyes. ¡°My fellow brothers, I know the rules. I didn¡¯t see anything or hear anything. The cat lover that takes care of me at home is the governor of California. I can give you guys any amount you want. Please don¡¯t hurt me!¡±

    Lightning was stunned. ¡°What the f*ck, we caught a big fat fish this time.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±

    The American Shorthair replied earnestly, ¡°I am Cameron.¡±

    ¡°Very good. Cameron, as long as you cooperate with us from now on, we will let you go after the banquet ends.¡±

    When Zhao Yao spoke halfway, he saw Cameron trembling in fright as huge blobs of fur started dropping from his body. The smell of urine wafted over from his lower body, making Zhao Yao disgusted as he threw the Deflective Field over to collect the urine.

    Zhao Yao shouted, ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    ¡°Meow-ow-ow!¡± Cameron started crying dramatically. ¡°I know what you mean! You¡¯re going to kill me when you say you¡¯re going to let me go! You guys don¡¯t want anything. You just want me to cooperate. You guys must be up to no good. You all will definitely silence me after you¡¯re done with your business.¡±

    Looking at how much he was trembling, Zhao Yao pursed his lips. ¡°This guy¡¯s tenacity is too weak. Should I just control him with the ability to control superpowers?¡±

    At that moment, Ares said, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, why don¡¯t you let Fish Ball pass off as him?¡±

    ¡°Fish Ball?¡± Zhao Yao stared at Fish Ball, who had been watching shows all along.

    Fish Ball was eating the small dried fish in his backpack which Xiao Yu gave him. When he saw everyone staring at him, Fish Ball dropped the small dried fish on the floor before he had closed his mouth.

    ¡°I can¡¯t. Although we¡¯re both American Shorthairs, our face shape is different. His face is not as round and soft as mine.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about that.¡± Ares pped Cameron in the face. ¡°You guys will look the same after I p his face swollen.¡±

    Elizabeth rolled her eyes and said, ¡°Idiot, what¡¯s the use of swelling up his face? The point is to make Fish Ball look like him.¡±

    Cameron was confused beyond words.

    Maryforted him at the side, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you will get used to it after a few hours.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 835: The Imposter</h4>

    Ares secretly gloated at Fish Ball, who was at a loss of what to do.

    ¡°Serves you right for being so arrogant all the time. You have no abilities, fighting skill, and basically no talent, yet you still managed to date so many cats. The only thing you have is that pretty face.¡±

    The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Ares said, ¡°Fish Ball, let me pinch your face so that it bes smaller.¡±

    Elizabeth said, ¡°What b*llshit is that. Are you trying to make his face deformed?¡± She walked up to Fish Ball and sized up his face. She nced at Cameron for a while before she said, ¡°It¡¯s not an impossible task. Let me groom Fish Ball¡¯s fur and add some illusions. That should do the trick.¡±

    As she said that, Elizabeth put down her backpack. She took out bottles and cans of beauty hair powder 1 , talcum powder, cat paw wax, deodorant spray, perfume, silver vine... and many other things.

    Ares was speechless when he saw Elizabeth smearing all those products on Fish Ball¡¯s face. Ares thought to himself, ¡°She said she didn¡¯t know what beauty hair powder was...¡±

    Elizabeth¡¯s ears twitched. She turned and red at Ares. ¡°What did you say?¡±

    ¡°Would Fish Ball look okay like this?¡± Ares quickly asked. ¡°Will the two of them really look alike after using these things?¡±

    ¡°Humph,¡± Elizabeth swayed her luscious, furry tail and said, ¡°Makeup is only one of the steps. Once I touch up Fish Ball¡¯s face shape and his fur I will use illusions to make further adjustments. After these are done, they should look almost the same.¡±

    After a moment, Fish Ball and Cameron stood side by side. The two cats looked really simr and were almost indistinguishable from each other.

    ¡°Not bad, not bad,¡± Zhao Yao nodded in approval and said. ¡°Then that¡¯s settled. Fish Ball, you will masquerade as Cameron.¡±

    Hence, not long after Cameron and the servant disappeared, Zhao Yao had donned the servant¡¯s clothes and carried Fish Ball in his arms as he walked towards the manor.

    There were supercats all around Zhao Yao, protected by the optical invisibility of the Deflective Fieldplemented with some illusions. Normal people would never be able to sense the presence of this mini vige among them.

    Fish Ball said in a slightly nervous tone, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, I can¡¯t even speak English. What am I supposed to doter?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°You just need to talk to cats. There are nonguage barriers in telepathicmunication.¡±

    Just as the two weremunicating telepathically, they had already reached the main hall of the manor. Zhao Yao could not help widening his eyes in amazement at the grandeur that greeted them when they walked in.

    Everything about the main hall was exquisitely detailed. Every table and chair had intricate flower patterns and grooves carved on top-grade material. The influential and wealthy of all kinds of trades walked around the hall. Zhao Yao was momentarily blinded by the shimmering reflection of the gold, tinum, diamonds, and shiraishi diamonds all around.

    ¡°Why don¡¯t I just rob everyone here and go back home. Forget about the meteorite fragments.¡±

    Zhao Yao quickly shook his head and cast aside that temptation. ¡°No no, I can¡¯t do that. Sphynx cat and Roly Poly are still waiting for me to save them.¡±

    Zhao Yao carried Fish Ball and walked into the main hall as he spoke, ¡°Fish Ball, find a few supercats to talk to and ask them about Arthas. It¡¯s best if you can find out what his superpower is.¡±

    Zhao Yao was walking around idly with Fish Ball in his arms, trying to find a few supercats to dig out information from when two servants hugging a Garfield cat and a Ragdoll cat stopped in front of him.

    ¡°The Garfield cat who was being held startedughing scornfully. ¡°Hahahaha, everybodye and look, isn¡¯t this Cameron? You actually have the guts toe here today to attend Mr. Arthas¡¯ banquet?¡±

    Fish Ball paused for a moment before he raised his head up and looked down on the Garfield cat condescendingly, not saying a word. However in his heart he was shrieking in panic at Zhao Yao, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao! What should I do! Seems like we ran into that cat¡¯s acquaintances.¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I don¡¯t think they¡¯re nice friends. Just keep at what you¡¯re doing now.¡±

    When the Garfield cat saw Fish Ball¡¯s arrogant and nonchnt demeanour, he got so angry he started wagging his tail in anger. ¡°Cameron! Don¡¯t you dare look down on me! Who doesn¡¯t know that that governor in your house is about to step down. Let¡¯s see who will be able to protect you with those mediocre abilities of yours!¡±

    Fish Ball snorted at the Garfield cat without saying a word, making the Garfield cat burst into tears of rage.

    Next, he suddenly jumped into the other servant¡¯s arms. He licked the Ragdoll cat as he said to Fish Ball tauntingly, ¡°Hehe, Cameron, look right here. Selena has agreed to be my girlfriend. Doesn¡¯t that anger you so much... yet you can¡¯t do anything about it?¡±

    Fish Ball said angrily, ¡°Zhao Yao, although I don¡¯t know this guy, he¡¯s being down right despicable right now. Can I beat him up?¡±

    Zhao Yao took a step forward and pushed Fish Ball towards the Garfield cat and the Ragdoll cat as he said, ¡°Do it.¡±

    Seeing how close he was to the Garfield cat, Fish Ball panicked. ¡°Don¡¯t put me so close, what if he bites me?¡±

    The Garfield cat screamed, ¡°Cameron! What are you doing? I¡¯m warning you don¡¯t you dare get violent at Mr. Arthas¡¯ banquet! Or else you won¡¯t walk out here alive!¡±

    As the Garfield cat started waving his paws around madly, the servant hugging him quickly took a few steps back.

    The Ragdoll cat shook her head in exasperation. She looked at Fish Ball as she said, ¡°Cameron, don¡¯t me me. You won¡¯t be able to give me the kind of life I want now. I don¡¯t want to be dragged down by you, let¡¯s just be friends from now on.¡±

    As she said that, the Ragdoll cat waved her paw and pointed to a different direction, leaving together with the Garfield cat.

    Fish Ball was furious. ¡°Zhao Yao! Why didn¡¯t you teach them a lesson! Somehow I feel like I¡¯ve been made a cuckold.¡±

    ¡°Cuckold your head. Don¡¯t be too invested in acting. We are here to catch Arthas. Everything else here is none of our business.¡± Zhao Yao carried Fish Ball and walked a few steps more before he saw a group of supercats gathered around a leather kitty tower.

    A few of the supercats clearly knew Cameron as they began to greet him from afar.

    ¡°Cameron! You¡¯re still in the mood toe for the banquet!¡±

    ¡°Cameron, Tom is looking for you everywhere. Be careful.¡±

    Tom was obviously that obnoxious Garfield cat they met just now.

    Fish Ball asked them, ¡°Do you guys know where Arthas is?¡±

    ¡°Who knows?¡± A ck cat shrugged his shoulders and said, ¡°Although Arthas threw this banquet, he won¡¯t appear everytime.¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s one the big nine elders in the Star Cats Alliance after all. There¡¯s too many things he needs to do everyday.¡±

    ¡°Have you all heard the news? I heard the Star Cats also sent apostles as reinforcement to the beach this time.¡±

    ¡°The supercats in the anti-government armed forces are very powerful. It¡¯s very natural for the army to ask for help from the Star Cats.¡±

    As he watched their conversation slowly go off track, Fish Ball had no choice but to interject again. ¡°Speaking of that, do you guys know what Arthas¡¯ power is?¡±

    In that instant, the few supercats quietened down. They stared at Fish Ball in astonishment.

    Fish Ball was confused by their reaction. ¡°Why? Did I say something wrong?¡±

    ¡°The abilities of the nine elders in Star Cats are top secret,¡± A supercat reminded him. ¡°You must be crazy, Cameron, asking this question at his house.¡±

    ¡°Looks like your problem at home affected you quite a lot.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s stop talking about this. Have you guys heard? Dragon was defeated by a Chinese apostle.¡±

    Once he sensed that he was not able to get an answer from them, Zhao Yao quickly took Fish Ball away and continued to walk around the main hall, looking for news of Arthas.

    At that moment, an Asian man kept staring at Zhao Yao before he finally walked up to Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Zhao Yao? Is that you?¡±

    Zhao Yao was stunned for a moment as he thought, ¡°What the f*ck... what¡¯s going on? How did someone here recognize me? Is he kidding?¡±

    The guy smiled slightly when he saw the stunned expression on Zhao Yao¡¯s face. He said in surprise, ¡°Zhao Yao? Don¡¯t you recognise me? I am Coco Wang, your university friend Coco Wang.¡±

    Zhao Yao paused for a moment before he replied, ¡°... I remember that Coco Wang is a woman.¡±

    ¡°I had sex reassignment surgery! I went to Thand,¡± The guy said. ¡°You know that right? Slicing XXX off, extending OOO, then slicing XXX into...¡±

    Zhao Yao gulped when he heard that and quickly interjected, ¡°Okay, okay. I get it. You can stop there.¡±

    ¡°Keke, I am Wang Jiuyang now. The Americans call me Peter.¡± Wang Jiuyang seemed to have only noticed Zhao Yao¡¯s get-up and asked curiously, ¡°Zhao Yao, what are you busy with these days? How did you end up here?¡±

    Zhao Yao was speechless. He did not want to reply to him at all. Afterall, it was too much trouble to be recognized by someone here. He thought of how he should find a chance to let Elizabeth and her family wipe out this guy¡¯s memories.

    Seeing Zhao Yao¡¯s speechless face, Wang Jiuyang patted Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulder knowingly and said, ¡°There¡¯s no obstacle too difficult to ovee in life. This is my name card. Come and look for me anytime if you need help.¡±

    Zhao Yao had no choice but to ept the name card. He nced at it and realized that he had actually be the CEO of a techpany and seemed to be doing well now.

    Afterall, if he could attend Arthas¡¯ party, he should be pretty well off.

    Wang Jiuyang said somewhat gloatingly, ¡°It¡¯s all because of the help I got from friends and family. I remember you did pretty well in your professional courses back in uni, being a servant here is too much of a waste for you. If you want to find a job,e and look for me anytime.¡±

    When he finished talking, he patted Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulder and walked off. Afterall, Zhao Yao¡¯s speechlessness and exasperation made Wang Jiuyang believe that Zhao Yao did not want him to see himself at this low point in his life. ¡°It¡¯s been five years since graduation. Things may have remained the same, but the people have changed so much.¡±

    Seeing Wang Jiuyang leave, Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and said, ¡°Keep a close watch on this guy. Brainwash him before we leave and wipe out this part of his memories.¡±

    Zhao Yao and Fish Ball walked around for a while more. At that moment, the whole hall suddenly cked out before a ray of light lit up in the dark, shining on a spot at the staircase on the second floor.

    A fully white cat stood there, as if it came right out from a picture. In that instant, everyone¡¯s attention was fixed on him.

    His eyes were blue and yellow, emitting an alluring and charming aura. Even humans felt the urge to hold him in their arms and care for him.

    When he slowly descended the steps, the movement of every muscle, every hair on his body were clearly imprinted in the minds of the crowd, as if someone carved it into their minds with a knife.

    At that moment, everything else was dark. This white cat became the center of everyone¡¯s attention.

    Next, sound waves floated across everyone¡¯s minds as he said, ¡°Hi everyone. Greetings and a warm wee for all you who attended my banquet today.¡±

    Zhao Yao mumbled to himself, ¡°Arthas... This voice is directly sent to the mind. It¡¯s not telepathicmunication. I¡¯s through directly controlling the brain¡¯s surfaceyer to receive information...¡±

    Zhao Yao was an expert at using illusions himself. Elizabeth¡¯s sensory illusions were right on his fingertips, ready to be used. He was all too familiar with things like directly controlling the brain to receive messages.

    ¡°A troublesome superpower. I wonder what¡¯s his medium of control and the extent of his control.¡±

    Although Arthas revealed this power the moment he stepped out, it was still too little information. Zhao Yao was still unable to figure out the whole picture behind his superpowers.

    Just as everyone was mesmerized by Arthas¡¯ movements, a gunshot was heard. Zhao Yao could clearly see a bullet flying through the air and bursting through Arthas¡¯ body in an instant, causing blood to spurt out of the cat¡¯s body as he rolled down the stairs.

    Screams! Fury! Panic! Pandemonium broke out at once.

    Zhao Yao did not move an inch as he focused his senses on the surroundings.

    ¡°That Arthas is a fake. He has no heartbeat or smell at all. It should be an illusion.¡±

    ¡°There isn¡¯t only one hitman. The whole hall has been surrounded.¡±

    ¡°Do they all have rifles with them? Looks like it¡¯s not an average superpower force.¡±

    However, the next moment, a change in the hall shocked everyone, even Zhao Yao. An invisible wave of power spread out from the center of the hall in all directions. Where it passed every apostle and supercat screamed in shock.

    ¡°What happened to my ability?¡±

    ¡°Why is my superpower gone?¡±

    ¡°What on earth is happening?¡±

    As the superpowers of every cat and man disappeared, the sound of a gunshot was heard, scaring everyone into wanting to flee. However, they realized that all the exits in the main hall were blocked by men in ck who had rifles in their hands.

    As the superpowers lost their effects, the supercats on Zhao Yao¡¯s body were no longer invisible and appeared one by one beside Zhao Yao, dropping on the floor.

    However at that moment no one cared about the cats on Zhao Yao¡¯s body anymore. Everyone was too frightened by the sudden attack that rendered their superpowers useless.

    ¡°Stop moving! Squat down! Put your hands over your heads! Cats flip over with your stomachs facing up.¡± A brown-haired, brown-eyed guy raised his rifle and shouted, ¡°As long as you guys cooperate obediently we will not hurt anyone.¡±

    Every human squatted down, and every cat flipped over with their stomachs facing upwards.

    A few men in ck with rifles in their hands ran over to the spot where Arthas fell. Just as Zhao Yao predicted, the Arthas lying on the floor turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared after being kicked.

    The brown-haired leader scoffed and shouted, ¡°Arthas, I know you are in the main hall. Quicklye out, unless you want to make all these people here be buried with you.¡±

    Arthas naturally did not reply. The brown-haired guyughed mirthlessly. ¡°Don¡¯t waste your efforts. The whole manor has now be a superpower-banned realm. No one and no cat can use their superpowers.¡±

    ¡°Get the hell out here, Arthas! You weren¡¯t such a coward when you sent apostles to attack my hometown.¡±

    Seeing how Arthas was hiding like an ostrich with no intention toe out, the brown-haired leader said, ¡°Great, so you don¡¯t want toe out? Then I¡¯ll kill these hostages until youe.¡±

    He scanned around the main hall. Suddenly, Fish Ball, Elizabeth and Ares and the bunch of cats caught his eye. He aimed his gun right at Fish Ball and said, ¡°Arthas, I¡¯ll count to three. If you still refuse toe out, I will shoot.¡±

    ¡°1!¡±

    ¡°Ah!!¡±

    Tom, the Garfield cat who had insulted Cameron previously, startedughing in glee when he saw the gun being pointed at Cameron (Fish Ball).

    ¡°Haha, Cameron, you¡¯re so unlucky. You¡¯re the biggest jinx in the world. He actually pointed to you out of all the cats here.¡±

    When the gun pointed at him, Fish Ball felt his whole body freeze on the spot. An unprecedented sense of fear arrested his whole body.

    He conversed anxiously to Zhao Yao telepathically, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao! What should I do! Quick save me!¡±

    Zhao Yao said hesitantly, ¡°You just wait for a while first. I think I can¡¯t use my superpowers anymore.¡±

    ¡°What the f*ck!¡± Hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s reply, Fish Ball began shedding fur all over his body.

    ¡°Is this the fear of death?¡±

    ¡°This time even Zhao Yao can¡¯t save me?¡± Fish Ball felt a warm feeling run through his body. ¡°Should I be a coward forever? Or should I be a hero for once? Even if it¡¯s only for a few minutes?¡±

    ¡°Ah!¡±

    After an ear-splitting scream, Fish Ball had already slumped on the floor, flipping around wildly in front of the man in ck.

    ¡°Nonsense! As long as I can live, so what if I am a coward? This coward is one I¡¯ll definitely be!¡±

    Just after he counted 1, the leader of the men in ck saw Fish Ball screaming in front of him before copsing to the ground to beg for mercy. However, he just shook his head and said, ¡°There¡¯s no use pleading with me. me Arthas if you want. We are not after any of you guys. As long as Arthases out, I promise I will let all of you off.¡±

    This was obviously a move to pressure Arthas.

    Tom told the Ragdoll cat beside him, ¡°Do you see that, Selena? Cameron is just a useless cat. You should have broken up with him a long time ago.¡±

    The Ragdoll cat did not reply but stared at Fish Ball in disdain.

    Zhao Yao was speechless at what Fish Ball was doing too. ¡°Why are you begging him? Do you know you look like you have no moral backbone at all?¡±

    Fish Ball was angry. ¡°He didn¡¯t point a gun at you. Of course it¡¯s easy for you to say that. I¡¯m about to die right now. What¡¯s wrong with begging for mercy.¡±

    Zhao Yao was exasperated. ¡°You don¡¯t need to be scared as long as I¡¯m here.¡±

    Fish Ball retorted, ¡°Why are you still putting on a strong front when you have no superpowers? Everyone is in the same boat now. Who knows, maybe the way you beg for mercy will be even more humiliating than mine!¡±

    The vein on Zhao Yao¡¯s head popped as he said coldly, ¡°Although I can¡¯t use my superpowers now, I can still use my power of six cats.¡±

    Fish Ball suddenly broke out in cold sweat. He cursed at himself in his heart. ¡°D*mn! How did I forget about that! Zhao Yao is now a devil-like muscle man!¡±

    He immediately begged Zhao Yao for mercy, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, I was talking rubbish just now. Please don¡¯t take it to heart. I¡¯m good friends with Matcha, even if you don¡¯t like me, at least save me on behalf of Matcha.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will definitely save you or else Xiao Yu will trouble me to no end.¡±

    Fish Ball heaved a sigh of relief. With Zhao Yao, who had the power of six cats, backing him up, he suddenly felt like his legs were no longer in pain, his waist no longer sore and his heart no longer afraid.

    He stood up in a sudden and stared arrogantly at the leader of the men in ck and scoffed, ¡°Hey kiddo, kill me if you dare. Comeee, shoot here. You see this?¡±

    Seeing how Fish Ball shouted as he kept patting his head, the leader of the ck men was stunned. He did not understand what this cat was doing.

    Fish Ball stretched out a paw and pointed to the other party. ¡°Don¡¯t think I¡¯m scared of you just because you have a gun. Although I have no superpowers now, I still have a heart full of courage and justice. Even if I die, I will not beg for mercy from a scoundrel like you.¡±

    The humans did not understand what Fish Ball was saying, but the supercats around them did. Their gazes immediately lit up with admiration, idolization, and respect for Fish Ball.

    Tom was shocked. ¡°What the f*ck? Since when was this Cameron so ballsy?¡±

    Beside him, Selena¡¯s gaze also lit up while staring at Fish Ball, ¡°I didn¡¯t think Cameron was a cat of such character.¡±

    The surrounding supercats all started meowing as they cheered, ¡°Well said! Cameron! We are not scared of these humans!¡±

    In the few minutes where Fish Ball gave his speech and the supercats around them started cheering in unison, Zhao Yao began thinking rapidly in his mind.

    Given his rich experience in battles ever since he discovered his superpower and with the superior physical strength and intellect given to him by the power of the six cats, he was able to think more critically and even faster about the situation at hand.

    ¡°Looking at the situation now, this supercat Arthas went into hiding while the armed forces are standing in the open, using hostages to threaten Arthas into appearing.¡±

    ¡°However, aside from the armed forces, there is actually another cat hiding in the dark. It¡¯s the supercat or apostle that took away the effects of all our superpowers.¡±

    ¡°What Arthas wants to do the most now is to find this cat or person while in hiding and finish off the other party with his henchmen. The remaining armed forces wouldn¡¯t be a problem then.¡±

    ¡°What the other party wants, on the other hand, is to find Arthas and kill him in this anti-superpower area.¡±

    ¡°Whoever gets caught first loses,¡± Zhao Yao thought. ¡°The scene looks really rowdy but in fact, the true powers of both parties are all hidden. These guys would be fighting over who¡¯s the best at hiding, and might even have some other trump card under their sleeves. I should observe a bit more for the time being and refrain from making the first move.¡±

    On the other hand, though the leader of the men in ck did not understand the catnguage, he definitely realized that the situation had changed and bellowed, ¡°Arthas, since you refuse toe out, I will kill this cat!¡±

    As he said that, his finger moved and slowly pressed down on the trigger.

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes slightly. As he became extremely nervous, he became very focused. Under a superhuman mental state, the world around him seemed to slow down.

    It was just like the world had been when he used supersonic teleportation after he had been strengthened with the power of the six cats.

    He could even see a drop of sweat slowly dropping off from the chin of the men in ck¡¯s leader, and the leader¡¯s finger moving millimeter by millimeter on the trigger.

    Right before the leader of the men in ck pulled on the trigger fully, Zhao Yao had lightly tapped his finger on the floor. An enormous, wild burst of energy surged like a dragon circling through the air as everyone near them felt the floor vibrate vigorously.

    As the floor shook, the leader of the men in ck lost bnce, tilting the aim of his rifle as he pulled the trigger.

    Fish Ball lost his bnce too and copsed to the ground when it suddenly vibrated.

    One party had a nted aim while the other copsed on the floor. Hence, when the leader of the men in ck pulled on the trigger fully, the shot was nted and the bullet burst through a nearby window. Fish Ball, on the other hand, was totally unharmed.

    Fish Ball got a shock when he heard the gunshot. He started licking his body immediately. When he realized that he was totally fine, he exhaled deeply out of relief.

    The ck robed people on the other side were tensed up. The earthquake just then had not urred naturally. The guns were pointed at everyone and the leader of the ck robed gang¡¯s gaze swept past everyone.

    He was very taken aback. ¡°Who attacked just now? Everyone and all the cats should not have powers.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s attack was very prominent, however, he did it very subtlety. No one saw what happened, hence, the leader of the ck robed mob was unsure of who had attacked.

    Fish Ball knew that it was from Zhao Yao. He became more confident instantly.

    Then, Zhao Yao¡¯s voice sounded. ¡°Hey, it¡¯s okay.¡±

    Fish Ball said happily. ¡°It¡¯s okay. It¡¯s okay. It is all thanks to you or I would have been dead.¡±

    ¡°As long as you are safe.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°Can I ask a favor from you, Fish Ball?¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Fish Ball answered natively. ¡°What do you need help with?¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled and continued, ¡°It¡¯s simple. Stand up and fight the ck robed. Pretend that the attack was by you.¡±

    Zhao Yao was thinking to himself, ¡°It can¡¯t carry on like this. The person who is gonna be most affected by the power ban is going to be me. I can use so many powers. I need to find the guy who can ban powers, without giving away my identity...¡±

    Fish Ball: ¡°What...?¡± He nced at the ck robed gang and said in despair. ¡°They will kill me! I am not even able to bite a hole in their coat, how am I going to fight them?!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± Zhao Yao encouraged. ¡°I will be helping you from the back. What are you afraid of? As long as you stand up and attract their attention, it will do.¡±

    Ares added, ¡°Yeah, Fish Ball. With Zhao Yao protecting you, what are you afraid of?¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao is not some devil.¡± Elizabeth joined. ¡°Do you think he will let you die?¡±

    Fish Ball thought about it. ¡°It makes sense.¡±

    Zhao Yao concluded. ¡°Rest assured. I will make sure that you are safe. If you are unwilling, then I will have to do it myself.

    Without the help of powers, I will have to fight with full concentration. If you were to be shot in the stomach, have your limbs broken, or your head was to be busted, I can¡¯t help you.¡±

    Chills ran down Fish Ball¡¯s spine and he said in exasperation. ¡°I understand.¡±

    Then, Fish Ball stood up suddenly and yelled. He pointed at the ck robed and shouted, ¡°What do you think you are doing? Stop! I, Cameron, shall teach you guys a lesson!¡±

    Although the ck robed leader did not understand what Fish Ball was saying, his attention was on Fish Ball. Zhao Yao squatted down and pressed his palms against the ground. He crushed the marble below him easily and hid the crumbs of the marbles in his hands.

    When the ck robed pointed their guns at Fish Ball, Zhao Yao wrist flicked and shot the marble crumbs out. Apanied by a soft hit, a ck robed member flew out. He was yelling and his chest was torn apart in mid air.

    The ck robed shouted, ¡°Be careful! This cat still has powers!¡±

    All the ck robed pointed their guns at Fish Ball. However, as long as they pointed their guns at Fish Ball, marble pierced through their bodies.

    With Zhao Yao¡¯s observation and the careful inspection of the positions of the ck robed gang , it was easy to keep all of their actions under surveince. He would throw a stone at anyone who attempted to fire.

    Within such a short period of time, there were heavy casualties and no one dared to point their guns at Fish Ball anymore.

    Fish Ballughed loudly. ¡°A bunch of rubbish. You dare to fight against me? Can you see my powers!¡±

    Tom and Selena in the distance were shocked.

    ¡°Cameron is so powerful?¡±

    ¡°What is his power?¡±

    When Fish Ball heard the gasps from the surrounding supercats, he was overjoyed.

    ¡°Is this the feeling of being powerful? It is so good. If only I was really this strong.¡±

    When the ck robed leader saw Fish Ball raise his middle w, although he didn¡¯t understand catnguage, he knew what Fish Ball meant. He was angered instantly and yelled, ¡°What are all of you waiting for? Take action!¡±

    Then, the rest of the ck robed tore their clothes apart, showed their muscr bodies and faces which were oddly simr to that of beasts.

    Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°The power to turn into beast? It still can be used when power has been banned? Is it some kind of longsting effects from a power? They have be a new species?¡±

    The ck robed were prepared to fight under banned powers. They were searching forrge amounts of supercats just to find the one who could allow them to fight when powers were banned.

    The half beasts roared andunched towards Fish Ball. They were so fast and powerful. They had the strength of many tanks.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes narrowed and he shot the stone in his hand. He shot the few half beasts and they were injured. However, their bodies were much better than a human. Despite being injured, it only angered them and they charged towards Fish Ball with their eyes red.

    ¡°This is the trump card of the ck robed? Then, where is the guy who could ban powers?¡±

    When he was attacking the half beasts, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes were searching around for a suspicious target. However, he was still unable to locate the person or cat who banned powers.

    Looking at the half beasts who were approaching Fish Ball, Zhao Yao was about to stop them. Then, someone sighed, the half beasts slowed down and were immobilized.

    ¡°Aye.¡±

    Then, Wang Jiuyang stood up and walked towards the leader of the ck robed. There was a white gentle light radiating off his body. His appearance alone brought about a peaceful and calm feeling.

    ¡°You guys are the anti-government armed forces, from the Divine Fire Pce right? I killed about five thousand of your people in the desert. Who knew that you guys would dare toe here?¡±

    The leader of the ck robed was shocked. ¡°You! Who are you? Why do you still have powers?¡±

    ¡°Who am I?¡± Wang Jiuyang shook his head and gave Zhao Yao an assuring smile as he walked past.

    He walked in the air and soon, he was walking on the marble pirs, upside down.

    There were countless ck robed who tried to fire at him, but their guns malfunctioned.

    Wang Jiuyang was walking on the ceiling and was mumbling, ¡°It is all a dream. Who knows what I have sacrificed...¡±

    Then, Wang Jiuyang walked with the hum. His body became more and more hazy, then he twisted his body and he transformed from a decent looking guy to a girl in white clothes.

    The ck robed leader looked at the girl in white on the ceiling and yelled in shock. ¡°Female Demon of Death!¡±

    Wang Coco¡¯s eyebrows drooped and looked heartbroken. The people who looked at her couldn¡¯t resist and wanted to protect and care for her. ¡°Why do you want to call me that? I don¡¯t really like that nickname.¡±

    Everyone who have heard of the Female Demon of Death¡¯s name, looked down immediately in fear.

    The name really epassed too much blood and terror.

    Female Demon of Death was the strongest apostle under Arthas and was a Natural Disaster Representative.

    Before she became an apostle, Wang Coco graduated from the same university as Zhao Yao. However, different from Zhao Yao who came out to work after graduation, she chose to study abroad. She studied a Masters in psychology at Harvard.

    After the powers awakened, she became an apostle. As she had a highpatibility with Arthas, she was chosen by Arthas and trained specially to be the strongest apostle under Arthas.

    She was different from Dragon, who was stationed at one ce. She never stationed at one ce. She would go around and kill countless Star Cats¡¯ enemies. Hence, she left behind the bloody legends of the Female Demon of Death.

    Maybe it was because his gaze was from different from the other curious and avoiding looks, Zhao Yao stared at the girl in white from head to toe and back up again. It made Wang Coco feel embarrassed.

    ¡°Why is Zhao Yao staring at me? Has he fallen for me?¡±

    Wang Coco could only pretend that she did not notice Zhao Yao¡¯s gaze and looked at the leader of the ck robed gang. ¡°Who is the apostle of Forbidden Devil?¡±

    The ck robed leader clenched his teeth and said, ¡°Kill me then. I will never tell you even if I die.¡±

    ¡°It is not so easy to die.¡± Then, Wang Coco blew at the leader of ck robed and he started to age rapidly.

    Watching yourself grow old, skin turning dry and wrinkly, hair getting thinner and white. Watching yourself die from this rapid aging, it was an unimaginable torture.

    The arrogant leader of ck robed gang yelled, hugged his head, and fell to the ground.

    Everyone else who saw this scene were shivering too.

    However, Zhao Yao was curious. He looked at Wang Coco and the old and frail Leader of ck robed gang.

    ¡°They really changed. No matter of the change was from Wang Jiuyang to Wang Coco or from young to old. It is like a real transformation. It is not a normal illusion. At least, from my observation, I can¡¯t tell it¡¯s fake.¡±

    ¡°However, I still cannot use my powers.¡±

    Zhao Yao used the power of six cats and observed constantly. He thought to himself. ¡°This is what makes it unusual. This kind of power...¡± He looked at the scene before him and he remembered the Nightmare Cat.

    ¡°Is this a power to control the dreams? But, when did I enter a dream? And it is a dream with so many people?¡¯

    ¡®¡±f it is a dream? Then, will what happen in the dream affect reality?¡±

    When Zhao Yao was specting on Wang Coco¡¯s powers, he saw the leader of ck robed kneel onto the floor and begged Wang Coco. ¡°I don¡¯t know. I really don¡¯t know who it is. Everything was done secretly. Please, stop it. Stop turning me older!¡±

    ¡°Is it?¡± Wang Coco mumbled and the next moment the leader of the ck robed gang fell onto the ground. He was like a skeleton.

    Then, the other ck robed member fell to the ground one by one and went unconscious.

    Wang Coco smiled at everyone and said, ¡°I shall ask for the cooperation of everyone. I will make you unconscious one by one. If after someone faints everyone¡¯s powers resume, then they will be the person who cast the power ban.¡±

    Upon hearing Wang Coco, everyone nodded in agreement.

    Wang Coco blew at them and there was a light fragrance in the air. Then, the guests started going unconscious one by one.

    Zhao Yao asked Diana. ¡°Diana, do you think this is a dream?¡±

    Diana¡¯s powers were to enter dreams. She could create dreams, enter dreams, and observe others¡¯ dreams or even affect their dreams.

    Upon hearing Zhao Yao, Diana shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know. I can¡¯t activate my powers, however, under normal circumstances, dreams are not reality. It is the conscious recollection of a being. So, no matter how realistic the dream is, as long as he is dreaming, something will not make sense.¡±

    ¡°Something illogical?¡± Zhao Yao thought to himself. ¡°In the power ban, Wang Coco can still use her powers. This is illogical. But, if this is a dream, then how do I wake up?¡±

    Now, Zhao Yao was d that he did not expose his identity from the start. If this was a dream, it would no doubt be his weakness.

    ¡°It is so troublesome. If I knew that Arthas¡¯s powers were rted to dreams, I would have left him forst.¡±

    Meanwhile, as the middle-aged man fell to the floor, everyone realized that their powers had returned to them.

    Evidently, the guy who fell onto the floor was the apostle who could ban powers.

    Wang Coco waved her hand and two security men walked up to drag the man down. She looked at the audience and smiled. ¡°I am sorry for the disturbance. The armed forces have been captured. The banquet will begin again, may everyone enjoy their meals.¡±

    When the banquet began again, the crowd cheered. However, they looked at Wang Coco in awe.

    Zhao Yao looked at the old leader of ck robed gang; he was still old and frail. There was no signs of him recovering.

    Zhao Yao frowned and thought. ¡°We are still in a dream? Or is this not a dream rted power? This is so troublesome. What should I do?¡±

    However, Fish Ball was surrounded by a bunch of female cats as they looked at him in admiration.

    ¡°Brother Cameron, you are so powerful!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, Cameron, you are so brave!¡±

    ¡°Cameron, take a picture with me.¡±

    ¡°Okay, don¡¯t make a big fuss.¡± Then, he winked and glowed slightly in front of the female cats. ¡°I was just doing what a cat should be doing.¡±

    All the female cat¡¯s heart starting beating rapidly.

    ¡°Oh my, his eyes are so pretty.¡±

    ¡°What a deep gaze. Cameron is this handsome?¡±

    ¡°So deep! There seemed to be many secrets with this cat.¡±

    ¡°Strong, handsome and mysterious! I have to talk to him privatelyter.¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao used illusions and the Deflective Field to hide the cats on himself and looked warily at Wang Coco, who was walking towards him.

    ¡°If this is a dream, will she notice my abnormality?¡±

    Wang Coco walked in front of Zhao Yao and said confidently. ¡°Hi ssmate, looks like you aren¡¯t ordinary too.¡±

    She flicked her finger and sighed, ¡°Be honest and tell me which side are you from. Don¡¯t put me on the spot.¡±

    Heughed bitterly when he saw Wang Coco look at him and he started thinking of solutions.

    ¡°Should I start the fight? However I have not found Arthas yet. In fact, I don¡¯t even know if the image of the white cat is him.¡±

    ¡°How much does Wang Coco know? Did she see through my Headless Horseman identity?¡±

    ¡°If this is really a dream then she would have seen through my powers and the cats on me...¡±

    Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°I shall try to cover it up first, then check if this is a dream.¡±

    Hence, Zhao Yao smiled bitterly and looked at Wang Coco sincerely. ¡°Actually... I like you. I followed you all the way here.¡±

    Wang Coco was rmed. She blushed and was slightly annoyed. She chided Zhao Yao, ¡°What are you talking about?¡±

    Zhao Yao turned and grabbed Elizabeth and stuffed a Spicy Cat Strip into her mouth. He did it so swiftly such that it looked like he turned around and pulled the scarf out.

    Wang Coco was about to ask him where the scarf came from, but when she looked at Zhao Yao again, her heart became flustered. All that was left in her mind was ¡®So handsome!¡¯

    Zhao Yao looked at Wang Coco affectionately and said, ¡°Coco, I have liked you since University. Ever since I knew that you were studying abroad in America, I wanted toe over to find you...¡±

    ¡°Er...¡± If just now, Zhao Yao¡¯s words made her slightly annoyed...

    ... Then, after wearing scarf, they made Wang Coco blush and feel flustered.

    Fish Ball, who was surrounded by female cats, was stunned by this scene. ¡°It is such a simple and direct way to settle the opponent by good looks! This is so amazing. Zhao Yao is so amazing. There is so much for me to learn.¡±

    Meanwhile, Ares looked at Elizabeth, who was scarf, in shock. It was the first time he saw the effects of the scarf. It was amazing.

    ¡°I want this too. With this, I can...¡± Ares couldn¡¯t help but imagine, him appearing in front of Catherine and the good time he would have with Catherine.

    Wang Coco, who was under the illusion, her entire face was red and her eyes were dreamy. She looked at Zhao Yao nervously and could not speak.

    Upon seeing this, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up. At first, he wanted to just get over with it. Now, his thinking changed.

    ¡°It is so effective against her? Is it because I am handsome?¡± Zhao Yao thought. ¡°She looks like she is very engrossed in my looks. If it is this way, why not just trick her and kidnap her... Then, I can interrogate the whereabouts of Arthas.¡±

    Thinking of this, Zhao Yao looked into Wang Coco¡¯s eyes. He said gently. ¡°Coco, there are too many people here. Why not speak somewhere else where there are less people.¡±

    Under the illusion of Elizabeth Scarf, not only were her five senses controlled but her sixth sense was altered and controlled too.

    Wang Coco found Zhao Yao, who was wearing the scarf more and more pleasing to the eye. Her gaze grew dreamy and she was feeling dizzy. She could not hear what Zhao Yao said, she let him pull her out of the hall and into the woods outside. When the cool wind blew, she realized. She pushed Zhao Yao away and asked shyly. ¡°Why did you bring me here?¡±

    Behind Zhao Yao and Wang Coco, were Ares, Lucifer, Dust Ball and all the other cats. They looked at them curiously and Fish Ball got rid of the female cats around him to follow Zhao Yao secretly.

    Ares said excitedly. ¡°What do you think they are going to do?¡±

    ¡°What else can they do?¡± Dust Ball said in disdain. ¡°Isn¡¯t it just the same The male willy on the female, then in a few seconds it will be done. What a waste of time.¡±

    Ares exined, ¡°Not every cat ends in a few seconds.¡± Then, he puffed up his chest.

    Dust Ball looked at him in disgust. ¡°You? It is not that I look down on you, Persian cats, but it is that you guys really can¡¯t do it. Your furs are too long. I am afraid that I won¡¯t even be able to find it.¡±

    Ares was frustrated and he looked at Catherine, Diana, and the others who were looking at him. He yelled loudly. ¡°What are you talking about! How can you frame a cat like this!¡±

    F¨±jin said natively. ¡°Brother, don¡¯t you alwaysin that your fur is too long? Such that you always pee on your fur!¡±

    When he saw Catherine and Diana look at him in shock, Ares look at F¨±jin furiously. ¡°I..¡± He pped F¨±jin in the face and was too angry to speak.

    Lightning joined in. ¡°Ares, why are you so angry. I am a cat with long fur too. It is normal for long fur cats to have such problems. Look howfortable I am after I shaved. I will not have things sticking to my fur anymore. Do you want to shave your fur too?¡±

    When Ares red at him, Lightning continued as if he couldn¡¯t feel Ares¡¯s anger. ¡°I am great at shaving. If you are unwilling to shave all your fur, I can just help you shave below.¡±

    Then, he looked at Ares mysteriously. ¡°It is very magical. I am only telling you this because we are a family.¡±

    Ares pped Lightning. Ares, activated the Deflective Field and wrapped himself up. ¡°Shut up, I don¡¯t need this kind of rubbish.¡±

    Lightning shook his head in pity.

    Then, Lucifer started shouting, ¡°Look, is Zhao Yao about to take action?¡±

    Then, Zhao Yao touched Wang Coco¡¯s blushing face and said gently. ¡°Coco, is it tiring to work for Arthas? Do you guys have insurance in America?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Wang Coco lowered her head and spoke softly. ¡°Star Cats pay us directly and we don¡¯t have to pay taxes.¡±

    ¡°No need to pay taxes!¡± Zhao Yao was shocked. ¡°Looks like Star Cats really has a big influence in America.¡±

    ¡°Yeap.¡± Wang Coco¡¯s intelligence seemed to have been lowered. She had some unspeakable trust towards Zhao Yao and said, ¡°FBI and CIA have no right to arrest us. Every year we have two overseas travel and we have about 50 days of annual leave.

    They also help with the getting permanent residence and with household registration. They even have subsidies for house and cars. There is also a great retirement pension. Why not join Star Cats too? They have really good benefits here. It is better than roaming around aimlessly.¡±

    Then, she was afraid that Zhao Yao would be hurt and exined, ¡°I am not saying that you aren¡¯t great. It¡¯s just... it¡¯s just...¡±

    Zhao Yao did not want the topic to be diverted and he stopped her. ¡°What about Arthas? Is he strict on you guys?¡±

    ¡°Teacher, he...¡± When she mention Arthas, Wang Coco grabbed onto her head in pain. Her eyes shed between confusion and sobriety. ¡°I... I can¡¯t say...¡±

    When he saw Wang Coco like this, Zhao Yao was rmed. Would she get rid of Elizabeth scarf¡¯s effects like this?

    Zhao Yao touched her head andforted her. ¡°It¡¯s okay. Just don¡¯t talk about it.¡±

    Wang Coco was better and she looked at Zhao Yao apologetically. ¡°I¡¯m sorry Zhao Yao. I cannot speak about it. However, if you join the Star Cats and you are under Arthas, you will know.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Zhao Yao rubbed Wang Coco¡¯s head and thought in his mind, he should just knock her unconscious. It would be beneficial to his n.

    Wang Coco lowered her face shyly.

    Lightning was bored of this. ¡°Why are they still touching each other? Is there going to be an end?¡±

    ¡°Humans are so troublesome.¡± Dust Ball said in disgust. ¡°They spend all their time touching each other.¡±

    ¡°Will Zhao Yao bring this woman back?¡± Catherine said, ¡°The houses on Cat Ind are already tight enough. Now, in addition to cats, he is going to bring humans back too?¡±

    All the other supercats agreed.

    Then, Zhao Yao suddenly reached out his hand and pressed onto Coco¡¯s head, making her unconscious.

    All the supercats who saw this were surprised.

    Ares asked, ¡°What is Zhao Yao doing?¡±

    Lightning thought about it and said, ¡°Unless Zhao Yao wants to knock her unconscious and...¡±

    Zhao Yao could not hear the supercat¡¯s private chat and he looked outside the mansion.

    ¡°Since there is no useful information from Wang Coco, then I shall have to try it myself.¡±

    Zhao Yao still thought that he had entered a form of dream or illusion. Afterall, the powers that Wang Coco had showcased, both duplicating multiple powers or using powers when there was a power ban. All these were beyond the limits.

    ¡°Let¡¯s look at the size first.¡± Then, Zhao Yao¡¯s body shed and he grabbed onto Fish Ball, who was hiding in the bush, and charged out of the mansion.

    Every step he took, was several meters. In an blink of an eye, he had traveled a few hundred meters.

    But, after running for several minutes, which was about a thousand meters, Zhao Yao realized that there was no longer any changes in his position from the mansion. The view of the city was like background picture, no matter how he far ran, he was not approaching the city.

    ¡°I knew it. There is something wrong.¡± Zhao Yao stopped and saw that he was still in the same spot. He said coldly. ¡°Dream? Or is it an illusion?¡±

    Then, the sky grew bright and endless light shone onto Zhao Yao. It was like the heavens were looking down upon him. An intense pressure was ced on Zhao Yao.

    Ares, Dust Ball, Lightning, and F¨±jin¡¯s fur stood up, as they narrowed their eyes and snarled at the sky.

    ¡°Here already?¡± Zhao Yao turned Elizabeth back into a Ragdoll cat and changed his power into Time Freeze. He had to be sure. Zhao Yao was very wary.

    Then, in the raging winds, there was a frustrated yell. Wang Coco came over and raged. ¡°Zhao! Yao!¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed, ¡°Women.¡±

    Wang Coco flew over like a breeze and raged at Zhao Yao. ¡°Zhao Yao! How dare you use an illusion on me? Good job.¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed. ¡°I am great. Besides, you fell for me. Now, you are ming me for being too handsome. This isn¡¯t right.¡± Although he was smiling, deep inside he frowned. ¡°It¡¯s Wang Coco? What is happening? Arthas is still hiding? Isn¡¯t he too cautious.¡±

    Upon hearing Zhao Yao, Wang Cocoughed. ¡°I see you have some tricks up your sleeve. Zhao Yao. Today I will let you know that there are always people better than you.¡±

    ¡°Wind!¡±

    As Wang Coco stretched out her hand, a tornado which was several thousand meters tall was formed. In sand and stones spiral, there were also several trees, huge stones, and even a few roofs. They were all swept up by the tornado.

    When the people in the mansion saw the tornado, they screamed in terror.

    ¡°Tornado!¡±

    ¡°Edward! What are you doing? Why are you doing this?¡±

    ¡°Stop it! The house is about to copse!¡±

    All the guest stares at a fat white man in anger.

    However, he shook his hands and said innocently. ¡°It isn¡¯t me. I did not activate my powers.¡± Then, when he tried to stop the tornado, he realized that he could not activate the power.

    ¡°Powers are gone!¡±

    ¡°It is the power ban again!¡±

    ¡°What is going on! Weren¡¯t they caught?¡±

    Zhao Yao heard themotion in the mansion and he started pondering. He avoided the tornado easily and attacked Wang Coco.

    Then, Zhao Yao shed behind Wang Coco and punched. As the wind stopped, his fist passed through Wang Coco¡¯s body like she was a phantom.

    ¡°Zhao Yao!¡± Wang Coco turned andughed coldly. ¡°You have no idea how strong I am. Angering me will be the thing that you will regret most in your life.¡±

    Then, she blew at Zhao Yao.

    He recalled what happened to the leader of ck robed and he did not take it lightly. He used Cheese¡¯s flying powers and retreated quickly to avoid the breath.

    ¡°Hey, you are too revengeful. All I did was to touch your head. At most, I will let you touch mine.¡±

    ¡°Ah!¡± ¡°Zhao Yao!¡±

    Zhao Yao took the chance and fed Cheese a Cat Spicy Strip and wore the cloak.

    ¡°Tornado, invincible towards physical attacks, turn people old... And recovery powers? Or is this a dream and they are controlling the dream.¡±

    Then, Wang Coco chased him. ¡°Zhao Yao! There is no escape!¡±

    Redser light shot out of Wang Coco¡¯s eyes and every where theser shot across, the air burnt and the grass turned charcoal.

    However, with Zhao Yao¡¯s quick reaction, before theser shot out, he dodged it.

    ¡°Another power... But, I seem to get the pattern.¡±

    ¡°But, where is Arthas hiding?¡± Then, Zhao Yao looked up towards the sky.

    Wang Coco looked at Zhao Yao fly around in the sky and said coldly. ¡°Even if you can fly a thousand miles, you would not be able to escape...¡±

    Then, in the next dozen of seconds, Wang Coco disyed all kinds of powers. She disyed amazing fighting capabilities and destroyed the entire mansion. All the guest were stunned.

    ¡°What! Why does she have my redser light!¡±

    ¡°And my Shadow sh. Why does Female Demon of Death have this.¡±

    ¡°Be careful. Don¡¯t go outside. It is too dangerous!¡±

    High up in the air, a cat¡¯s paw was stirring the winds and clouds casually. As the clouds and wind dispersed, the entire mansion¡¯s view was pulled in constantly. Soon, it was showed clearly in front of him.

    Beside the cat paw was a ck man. ¡°This Zhao Yao, he is very cautious.¡±

    The cat with his paw out was a British Shorthair who had very long whiskers. His eyes were half closed and there was a pendant on his neck. Looking at the pendant, it was a meteorite fragment.

    He was one of the nine elder cats in Star Cats. He was Arthas.

    ¡°Even if he is cautious, you still have to consider the difference in powers.¡± Arthas spoke with confidence. ¡°In here, even if he is a tyrant, he will have to bow down.¡± He spoke in fluent English.

    On the battlefield, Wang Coco was attacking and chasing Zhao Yao. It looked like Zhao Yao was running around like a pitiful rat.

    ¡°Of course.¡± The ck man smiled and bowed. He was not very concerned about the intruder too and said, ¡°Arthas, I am here because the area near the beach has not been peaceful. The Divine Fire Pce got hold of a supercat that can control sand. As long as the cat is near the beach, it is almost impossible to kill. Furthermore, countless apostles can borrow his powers and our army has been defeated...¡±

    Arthas¡¯s eyes were half closed and he looked like he was about to fall asleep anytime. He said calmly. ¡°I am listening.¡±

    The ck man stopped and said, ¡°Dragon from the Pacific base has been defeated by Headless Horseman and is under investigation. The Union¡¯s intent is to send another two Natural Disaster Representatives to support the Pacific base and beach.¡±

    ¡°Humph, what about the Headless Horseman?¡± Arthasughed coldly. ¡°He came to fight at our doorstep. Are we going to pretend nothing happened? Those few cats have been getting more and more timid. Why not disband and do charity instead?¡±

    Evidently, the secret that Zhao Yao was the Headless Horseman had not gotten out yet. Uncle Ho and his team had been keeping it a secret. At least foreign influences like Star Cats did not know about it.

    The ck man was thinking reluctantly. ¡°Isn¡¯t it all because you cats couldn¡¯te up with a conclusion after the discussions. What can we do about it?¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Then, Arthas opened his eyes and looked at the battlefield in shock.

    ...

    ¡°Female Demon of Death is so powerful.¡± In the ruins of the hall, Tom stuck his head out and gasped. ¡°She has so many recovery abilities. Natural Disaster Representatives are strong.¡±

    The ragdoll cat, Selena also said, ¡°Well the human is pretty strong too. That speed and power. I think 99% of the people in this hall are no match for him.¡±

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter how powerful he is. Can¡¯t you see that he is being chased around by Female Demon of Death?¡± Tom shook his head.¡±I think that he won¡¯tst for long. Besides, where is Cameron?¡±

    The other guest in the hall had simr thoughts. It was that Wang Coco had drawn their attention. The powers that came down one by one, it made all their hearts jump. They were thinking that when they go back, they would have to report this immediately and raised the danger level of the Female Demon of Death.

    Meanwhile...

    ¡°Zhao Yao! When are you going to stop running?!¡± Wang Coco blew at Zhao Yao and a vacuum blocked in front of Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao, who was shing around like a lightning, stopped. He looked at Wang Coco.

    ¡°Finally, you have decided to stop running?¡± There was a red glow in Wang Coco¡¯s eyes and it looked like it could release a destructive energy anytime.

    Zhao Yao said calmly. ¡°Wang Coco, do you really think that I can¡¯t defeat you?¡±

    ¡°Hahahaha.¡± Wang Coco sneered at Zhao Yao and swung her sleeves behind her. ¡°You want to beat me? Do you know what a natural disaster is? What a joke...¡±

    Bam and in the next moment, Zhao Yao appeared behind Coco.

    ¡°It is useless. My body...¡± Wang Coco sneered and wanted to shoot out redser at Zhao Yao. However, the next moment, she was unconscious.

    Sleep Medusa!

    As Wang Coco was unconscious, all the surrounding powers stopped. She turned into an experimental object and was grabbed by the throat by Zhao Yao.

    When Wang Coco woke up again, she saw Zhao Yao¡¯s blood red eyes. ¡°Look at my eyes.¡±

    Then, Wang Coco¡¯s body jerked and she was controlled. Her body was shivering uncontrobly as she looked fearful. She had entered the horrified state after the forced sleep.

    Zhao Yao whispered in her ear. ¡°This is a natural disaster apostle?¡±

    ¡°So weak.¡±

    She looked at Zhao Yao and fear was instilled in her heart. She wanted to scream and escape. However, her body was immobilized.

    Zhao Yao swung his hands and Wang Coco was thrown like a bomb. She hit a broken wall and fell onto the floor, shattering her bones, leaving her immobilized.

    She forced herself to look up and watch Zhao Yao in disbelief. ¡°How could it be? This is in the Dream prison! How could I lose to him? Unless, he is this strong in the physical world?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked towards the sky and said, ¡°Arthas,e down. I can feel that you are above.¡±

    As Zhao Yao spoke, there was an explosion in the air and a huge cloud in the shape of a cat appeared on top of the mansion. As the cat look across the people present, they felt a fear from within. Some of them even fell to the floor, shivering.

    Then, the cloud cat open its mouth. ¡°Zhao Yao? I never expected you to beat my apostle here. You have great potential and have great powers. Do you want to join Star Cats? You can rece Coco.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Wang Coco opened her mouth and looked at Zhao Yao with resentment.

    Zhao Yaoughed. ¡°Yeah, I can join Star Cats. But I have a request.¡±

    ¡°Oh? You are willing to join?¡± The cloud cat was happy. ¡°Say your request. As long as it is within my capabilities, I will agree.¡±

    Upon hearing this, Wang Coco¡¯s mouth opened wider. It was like she had lost her soul. ¡°How could this be...¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Let me be the boss of Star Cats. All nine of you will have to work for me at my shop. All the meteorite fragments have to be mine. If you are agreeable, I would consider joining Star Cats.¡±

    There was dead silence. The giant cloud cat did not move and he stared at Zhao Yao with intense pressure.

    ¡°Arrogant.¡±

    The next moment, the entire sky crashed down on the mansion.

 Chapter 843: Dream

    <h4>Chapter 843: Dream</h4>

    What is the sky crashing called?

    Arthas presented this sentence vividly.

    The winds raged and the clouds were rolling down. The atmosphere was roaring and thunder sounded.

    The distance between the sky and the ground was diminishing constantly. It was like a mountain was crashing down.

    Upon seeing this, everyone who was present was in shock. Some had their mouths wide open and were quaking like frightened ducks.

    The scene was too horrifying. Theyers of the atmosphere crashed down like a mountain.

    The cats on Zhao Yao were screaming when they saw this.

    Zhao Yao stared at the sky that was pressing down on them calmly. He said, ¡°Don¡¯t panic. Look at it carefully. It is just clouds.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes scanned across the sky and watched the changes in the atmosphere.

    ¡°It is the same power as the one that Wang Coco has. It is the power to control the winds. However, it is just that the area that he controls is bigger and his power has a higher efficiency.¡±

    Zhao Yao analyzed the supernatural phenomena calmly. As the cloudyer got nearer and nearer, he leaped and broke through ayer of the atmosphere with the Cheese cloak. He flew towards the cloud cat.

    Upon seeing Zhao Yao flying towards him, the cat closed his palms and the falling clouds turned into several gigantic paws and pressed down on Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao snorted and as there was a golden sh from his body, he passed through theyers of clouds like a shooting star. There was a bam and the gigantic cloud cat was dispersed in an explosion.

    Everyone on the floor looked at Zhao Yao who blow up the sky. They were astonished and stared at the golden figure in the sky.

    Only Wang Coco wasughing coldly as only she knew what was happening. Thinking of the answer that Zhao Yao gave, she shook her head. ¡°He is asking for death.¡±

    She knew very clearly that they were in Arthas¡¯s dream and how scary he could be.

    Dreams were made from biological consciousness. As a psychological master, Arthas could control the consciousness of any living thing. He could even leave a lock in Wang Coco¡¯s consciousness so that she could not betray him.

    Arthas could also awaken people¡¯s consciousness in their dreams and use their dreams to form a sub conscious being to fight their conscious.

    In the dream, he could use all the supernatural powers to attack them and bring up their pain, fear, misery, and panic. He could deal psychological attacks through dreams.

    The more realistic a dream is, the more the person dreaming would ept it and hence, therger the damage.

    So, in this dream, it was incredibly close to reality, except that Arthas¡¯s powers were enhanced exponentially.

    ¡°In the Dream prison, it is impossible to defeat Arthas. Although dying in dreams is not really death, as long as Arthas keeps attacking and torturing them, their consciousnesses will shatter. The person will be vegetative or they will be exhausted and be venerable...¡±

    At the same time, Zhao Yao, who broke the cloudyer, looked at the higher sky and yelled, ¡°Arthas!¡±

    ¡°Get down!!!¡±

    Bam!

    How strong was Zhao Yao¡¯s body? How strong were his organs? His lungs exhaled out strongly and blow out a series of air bombs. Everywhere it hit, the air would disperse the clouds and people below could see what was happening in the air.

    Tens of thousands of meters above, there were two tiny dots. Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes and he could make out a human and cat figure.

    ¡°Is it there?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s body halted and the next moment, the Deflective Field covered his body as he charged upwards towards Arthas.

    elerate! elerate! elerate!

    Zhao Yao was travelling faster than the speed of sound and then there were white trails behind him.

    Looking at this, Arthasughed coldly and he pressed his paw down. Then, the atmosphere condensed and the air between Zhao Yao and Arthas be a thick solid wall.

    ¡°Rice Cake!¡±

    Zhao Yao shouted and Rice Cake, who had already eaten the Spicy Cat Strip, flew out and became a sliver de in Zhao Yao¡¯s hands.

    Om! As the Murasama de vibrated at a high speed, Zhao Yao shed across the wall single handedly. Under the silver de shes, the condensed air was split apart and Zhao Yao continued to fly.

    Towards Arthas.

    Arthas and the ck men watched Zhao Yao approach them and had no signs of panicking. They looked at Zhao Yao calmly.

    Arthasughed, ¡°Zhao Yao, look what is this.¡±

    Then, his paw flicked and a golden force field appeared in front of Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao raised his eyebrow and shed. As the de shed, the de moving slower and slower. It was like being trapped in a quagmire.

    ¡°Force Field?¡± Zhao Yao was surprised. ¡°It is a Deflective Field?¡±

    Arthas was casting the power that Zhao Yao had just casted.

    Arthas said slowly, ¡°Zhao Yao, there are differences between powers. An ordinary supercat¡¯s power will never beparable to a strong supercat¡¯s powers no matter how hard they train. Like the difference between you and Wang Coco or you and me.

    You can use so many powers. It is more than enough to deal with the normal apostles.

    However, when I deal with you, I am more than enough too.¡±

    ¡°Are you?¡± Zhao Yao hesitated and his gaze turned solemn. He changed his power to Time Freeze and when everything was still, he walked around therge patch of golden light and came in front of Arthas. He shed down at Arthas.

    However, when the de was about to hit down on Arthas, he saw a golden light blocking it in front of Arthas. Then, Arthas jumped backwards and avoided the attack.

    ¡°He can ovee Time Freeze?¡± Zhao Yao was stunned and his de shed towards Arthas continuously.

    Then, he saw that there was a silver de flying out from Arthas. It was a de that looked exactly like Murasama de. Arthas flicked his paw and the de charged at Zhao Yao with the Deflective Field.

    Bam!

    The two Murasama des shed together and many air waves were created from the collision of the des. In terms of strength, Arthas¡¯s Deflective Field was weaker than Zhao Yao who had used his hands.

    However, Zhao Yao was not happy at all. He was very solemn.

    ¡°He can even produce another Murasama de?¡±

    Zhao Yao was really shocked by this then he saw that Arthas even had the Cheese cloak.

    At first, the two des were chasing each other and Zhao Yao¡¯s physical qualities were better than Arthas. However, Zhao Yao soon realized that Arthas had the same physical abilities as him. They were fighting so fiercely and they fought till the Time Freeze ended and still could not defeat each other.

    ¡°This fellow... He doesn¡¯t only duplicate power but also energy?¡±

    Sphynx cat¡¯s powers were just the ability to work out but he could duplicate the result of Sphynx cat¡¯s work out. It was incredible.

    Then, Zhao Yao changed to Sleep Medusa.

    Then, the moment he looked at Arthas, both of them were forced into a deep sleep and fell down from the sky. They woke up halfway through.

    When they looked at each other again, he felt that he had controlled Arthas¡¯s body. However, his body was controlled by Arthas too. It was Elizabeth¡¯s illusions.

    Zhao Yao raised his knife and wanted to sh towards his own chest but Arthas flew over and stopped Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao turned his de and avoided Arthas. He attacked himself again.

    They were controlling each other¡¯s body, to attack themselves and stop their opponent. They looked like they were trying tomit suicide while stopping the opponent.

    Arthas¡¯s voice sounded in the void. ¡°Zhao Yao, there is a limit to powers and meteorite fragments are the key to breaking the limits.

    Originally, your powers are stronger than mine. But, with the help of the meteorite fragments, I broke through the limits. Can you feel it? The difference between us?¡±

    Zhao Yao did not speak and the des continued to sh in the air. With every sh in the air, there were metallic sparks.

    ¡°Everything that you have and will have, I will have too. Everything that you never had, I will have too.¡±

    While he was talking, the wind roared in the sky, helping Arthas to attack Zhao Yao, which made the battle between them more dangerous.

    Within the short exchange of extremely dangerous attacks, Zhao Yao suddenly controlled Arthas and quickly force his eyes closed and the control over him instantly failed.

    Arthas¡¯s body was still under Zhao Yao¡¯s control while Zhao Yao was free of Arthas¡¯s control.

    ¡°As expected, he may be able to duplicate my superpowers but is unaware of its limitations?¡±

    Elizabeth¡¯s controlling ability allowed her to takeplete control over the target she had locked onto. Just now Zhao Yao controlled Arthas and Arthas controlled Zhao Yao, hence Zhao Yao closed Arthas¡¯ eyes to stop his control.

    At this stage, Zhao Yao got more confidence in his original conjecture.

    ¡°Not only superpowers, he can even freely duplicate my equipment, including the strength obtained from my training. Such a superpower is too unreasonable.¡±

    ¡°The battle produced a bigmotion, however, none of the Americans¡¯ troops havee over after so long..¡±

    ¡°Plus the superpowers previously casted by Wang Coco in the Forbidden Devil territory... ¡±

    ¡°There are so many things that are illogical. Is this really a dream or some kind of illusion?¡±

    ¡°If not, this superpower is too strong, even Project X could not be his opponent, or he alone would be able to rule over the world. There would never have been so many events happening. On the other hand, it is very unreasonable for the United States government to not take any action after such a bigmotion from the battle.

    Zhao Yao thought about all the illogical elements in this battle and looked at Arthas who was temporarily under his control. ¡°This guy might have even learned how to be reborn...¡±

    At this thought, a sharp ray of light from the silver de was sent over in his direction, sshing blood all over the air directly from Arthas¡¯s body.

    Arthas who was killed by one sh, started to regenerate and activated Time Freeze as expected by Zhao Yao.

    Arthas opened his eyes and a sh of surprise shed across his eyes. ¡°I¡¯ve even gained the ability to be reborn. What a big gain.¡±

    At this thought, he returned his move with a sh on Zhao Yao¡¯s head.

    Zhao Yao also activated regeneration and Time Freeze. The two of themunched themselves at each other again in the world that stayed still.

    ¡°I was actually reborn?¡± Zhao Yao started to doubt his conjecture once again.

    ¡°When dealing with the Nightmare Cat, death previously stopped the dream, could this not be a dream but instead some kind of special dimension? Thus I am unable to escape or affect the people outside?

    Even though he was very troubled by the situation he was in, Zhao Yao¡¯s Time Freeze clearly stopped after Arthas¡¯s since he was rebornter.

    Therefore when Arthas ended up immobile, Zhao Yao shed at Arthas again in the remaining two seconds of time freeze.

    Clearly, even though Arthas had the same superpowers as Zhao Yao, in the skillfulness of their application, Arthas was far from Zhao Yao. Thus, this resulted in the miscalction of timing and was shed by the de.

    Zhao Yao used this chance to experiment if he would wake up after death and made use of the time difference to give the opponent another sh to kill him effortlessly.

    However, after lying in the pool of blood for a few seconds, Arthas appeared in front of Zhao Yao again, unwounded.

    He looked at Zhao Yao condescendingly and slowly spoke, ¡°Zhao Yao, don¡¯t you understand? I used the meteorite fragments to break through my limitations. My superpowers have already reached the level of god, which is a stage you will be unable to yourself defend against no matter how much wisdom, luck, effort you gain in this lifetime.¡±

    ¡°No one can defeat me in my territory. As long as I am willing, even one thought will be able to kill you...¡±

    Looking at Arthas who was able to revive himself after the death from the sh, Zhao Yao said, ¡°I suppose we are in a dream now?¡±

    Arthas was slightly surprised but broke intoughter and said, ¡°Do you realize what is happening? What can you do about it? I am omnipotent in the dream. I cannot be killed; I cannot be defeated, while all of you can only ept my eternal torment here.¡±

    The imprisoning dream created by Arthas was focused on attacking, hence he loved to fight while continuously attacking his opponents with words to weaken their will to fight, creating a atmosphere of despair.

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°Even though this may be a dream but through the fight just now, you¡¯ve showed that you cannot limitlessly modify this dream. Our superpowers are still functional here.¡±

    ¡°So what?¡± Arthas shrugged his shoulders. ¡°I can freely use all of you guys¡¯ superpower. You guys will never win against me.¡±

    Zhao Yao stabbed Arthas¡¯s chest again and watched him fall down.

    The body disappeared and Arthas appeared again.

    ¡°Do you understand? As long I don¡¯t let you, you will never be able to kill me. And for me to kill you, it¡¯s just...¡±

    Arthas fell to floor again and disappeared and reappeared again.

    Arthas shook his head. ¡°Zhao Yao, you are a genius. If it wasn¡¯t that I wanted you on my side, you would have long been dead. So, can you stop doing such meaningless things...¡±

    Then, Arthas looked at the small golden knife on his waist, which was the Dragon ying Saber, he asked, ¡°Do you really think such a small knife will be able to kill me?¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head.

    ¡°Then, why are still stabbing me?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°It is for you to suffer.¡± He thought to himself. ¡°If I can¡¯t destroy the physical body then I shall try causing harm to the mental body.¡±

    ¡°What? Make me suffer...¡± Before Arthas was done with his sentence, he cked out again and he came to a white operating room.

    He moved slightly and realized that he had been tied to the operation table. All his powers were useless and he became an ordinary cat again.

    When, he saw a group of people in white coat walking up, Arthas panicked. ¡°What are you guys doing!¡±

    ¡°The patient¡¯s mood is not stable.¡±

    ¡°Tie him tighter.¡±

    ¡°We ran out of anesthetic. What do we do?¡±

    ¡°Feed him some coke at least he would be happier.¡±

    Arthas looked at the people in white coat walk around the room and he saw the operating knife cut into him. He watched himself get operated on and he yelled out of anger. Then, he fell towards the floor.

    Zhao Yao smiled and look at Arthas who was yelling in grief and fell. Hended onto the floor with Arthas and said, ¡°I have finally found the chance to stab you. If you don¡¯t pass the Dragon ying Saber¡¯s test, will your powers be banned?¡±

    Then, Arthasnded on the floor, creating a small meteorite like pit. The cat was squatting in the pit and hugging his lower body.

    Upon seeing this, Wang Coco was stunned. ¡°What is this? Arthas has been knocked down?¡±

    Zhao Yao stepped on Arthas and said satisfyingly. ¡°Stupid cat, tell me what is your power? Why can you duplicate everyone¡¯s powers and my weapons?¡±

    Poof.

    Zhao Yao looked at the thing Arthas hid behind his back. It was a Dragon ying Saber, which was currently on his foot now. Arthas used his strong physical body and hid the Dragon ying Saber in his fur and pushed his back muscles to stab Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao said in disbelief. ¡°You duplicated my knife? You passed the Dragon ying Saber¡¯s test? No, you duplicated the saber before all of this?¡±

    Arthasughed menacingly. ¡°Now it it your turn to feel my pain!¡±

    Zhao Yao cked out and found that he was lying on a cold surgery table. A bunch of people in white coat were gathered around his lower body.

    ¡°Herees another one.¡±

    ¡°This surgery is difficult, everyone please be serious.¡±

    ¡°Are we going to use anesthetic?¡±

    ¡°There are too many nerves here, to not affect the future happiness of the patient, we cannot use anesthetic.¡±

    Zhao Yao yelled, ¡°Get lost!¡±

    Argh!

    Arthasughed coldly at Zhao Yao, who was kneeling on the floor. He looked at Zhao Yao, who was looking deadly pale. ¡°I told you, in this dimension, no one can...¡±

    Poof.

    Arthas looked at the saber stabbed into his stomach and looked at Zhao Yao in despair. ¡°Is this not going to end?¡±

    Zhao Yao, who passed the Dragon ying Saber test yelled, ¡°Come, let¡¯s harm each other.¡±

    Then, when Arthas and Zhao Yao fell towards the ground, the guests in the hall couldn¡¯t help but run in their direction. They wanted to see what the results were.

    Then, they saw the cat and human, who both had their powers banned, wrestling on the floor. Zhao Yao would stab Arthas and Arthas would scream.

    Then, Arthas would stab Zhao Yao and Zhao Yao would kneel on the floor and m the floor in agony.

    Tom was speechless. ¡°The saber is hardly longer than a finger and yet they are screaming so badly. What pussies.¡±

    Meanwhile, Wang Coco controlled the air and broke her neck. Then, she recovered and ran over. She looked at Zhao Yao and Arthas, who were wrestling on the floor and was shocked. She could not link the majestic and divine Arthas to the cat in front of Zhao Yao.

    Although Wang Coco did not understand why did their fight ended up like this, she could tell that they were fighting in their dreams. It has be a death battle. They were attacking each other psychologically and waiting to see who crashed first.

    Arthas shouted, ¡°Ah! I am going to stab you till you die!¡±

    ¡°Who is afraid of you?¡± Zhao Yao answered. ¡°I am going to stab you till you break down! Whoever who backs out will be a dog! Ah!¡±

    Unlike the guests, who did not understand what was happening, when Zhao Yao and Arthas were stabbing each other, Ares and the rest did. There were chills running down their spines as they watched the horrific scene.

    Many of them had tried the Dragon ying Saber before.

    ¡°So cruel!¡± Ares looked at Zhao Yao and Arthas in pain. ¡°Are these two monsters? They stabbed each other so many times and they are still stabbing? Don¡¯t their hearts ache?¡±

    Elizabeth looked at them in disgust. ¡°Freaks. These two guys are freaks. Zhao Yao is a huge freak.¡±

    Lightning looked at the saber stab down again and again and he shivered. ¡°Zhao Yao is too cruel. I will never offend him.¡±

    Fish Ball was lying on the floor shivering in fear as he remembered the night when he was stabbed by the Dragon ying Saber.

    Dust Ball was in awe. ¡°This is a real warrior. Do you know what is called a true champion? Only people who are this ruthless to themselves deserve this title. Zhao Yao! From today on, I will look up to you the most.¡±

    Upon hearing the supercats, Zhao Yao turned his head and yelled, ¡°Why are you guys talking so much? Come over and take a few stabs for me!¡±

    Dust Ball, Ares, and the rest retreated a dozen of meters.

    Fish Ball yelled, ¡°Zhao Yao, I will help you watch over the other men. I will not let them disturb you. You can get rid of Arthas in peace.¡±

    The supercats looked at Zhao Yao and Arthas in fright. The weapon in their hands was too scary. Although their powers were banned, they still had extraordinary physical capabilities. Which cat would dare to go up next?

    Zhao Yao was angry. ¡°Useless!¡±

    Meanwhile, Arthas yelled at Wang Coco. ¡°Coco, why are you watching? Come and help!¡±

    Wang Coco froze and then she charged towards Zhao Yao. Anyways, even if she died in the dream it would just be psychological damage.

    However, she only flew a dozen of meters and saw that Zhao Yao had thrown the Dragon ying Saber at her. She was stabbed by the Dragon ying Saber.

    Wang Coco fell onto the ground and she was in an operation room. The people in white coats appeared around her and spoke in anguage that she did not understand.

    ¡°Who is it this time?¡±

    ¡°It is arge baby trapped in the umbilical cord! It is so dangerous!¡±

    ¡°Make her give birth! Make her give birth!¡±

    Wang Coco looked at the actions of the people in white coat and she let out screams that could shatter ss.

    When, she recovered consciousness, she fell onto the ground like she had had her soul ripped from her.

    Meanwhile, seeing that Zhao Yao had thrown the Dragon ying Saber away, Arthasughed, ¡°Hahaha! Zhao Yao, you are dead!¡±

    He picked up the Dragon ying Saber and charged towards him. However, Zhao Yao grabbed onto the Dragon ying Saber and they struggled.

    The Dragon ying Saber that Zhao Yao had thrown, fell in front of Tom after piercing through Wang Coco.

    Tom and Selena looked at the Dragon ying Saber with great curiosity.

    Tom wondered, ¡°The saber looks weaker than my w. Why are they screaming so loudly after being stabbed?¡±

    Selena picked up the Dragon ying Saber and asked eagerly, ¡°Do you want to try it?¡±

    ¡°How to try..¡±

    Poof, Tom fell to ground and looked like a withering corpse. Despair and numbness filled his eyes.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao and Arthas wrestled together. They were both reaching for the Dragon ying Saber.

    Zhao Yao yelled, ¡°Elizabeth!¡±

    Elizabeth sighed, ¡°I really don¡¯t want to be involved in such a perverted fight...¡± Then, she controlled Arthas.

    Zhao Yaoughed and grabbed Arthas¡¯s neck. He looked at Arthas maliciously. ¡°Elizabeth, let go of him. The more he struggles, the better it is.¡±

    When, Zhao Yao was going to stab him, Arthas shook his paws and shouted, ¡°Wait!¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed coldly. ¡°Stupid cat. What do you want to say? I am telling you, if I don¡¯t stab you till you die, there will be no end to this!¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao! Do you want to start a war with the Star Cats?¡± Arthas threatened. ¡°I am warning you! Except for me, there are eight other cats who are as powerful as me. Although you can deal with me, this doesn¡¯t mean that you can deal with them! Beware that you will die terribly!¡±

    Zhao Yao stabbed the saber beside Arthas¡¯s paw and scared Arthas till his fur dropped. ¡°Zhao Yao! Calm down! Don¡¯t try to settle everything with violence. We can discuss this. What kind of demands do you have?¡±

    ¡°I am very calm!¡± Zhao Yao looked at Arthas and wiped the saber on Arthas¡¯s neck. ¡°Tell me, how did I enter the dream and how do I go out?¡±

    Upon hearing this, Arthas hesitated. Evidently, this was his secret, a secret that he would not tell anyone. ¡°I can¡¯t... tell you this secret. Change your demand.¡±

    ¡°You are not going to tell me?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s re grew cold as he grabbed Arthas. In Arthas¡¯s terror, he walked over to Wang Coco and stabbed Wang Coco.

    Wang Coco looked at Zhao Yao in despair. ¡°Why do you have to stab me?¡± Then, she fell unconscious.

    ¡°Did you see that?¡± Zhao Yao said. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to be stabbed then speak.¡±

    Arthas nodded when he saw Zhao Yao pointing the Dragon ying Saber at him. He pressed his paw on the saber and said nervously, ¡°I will speak! Don¡¯t stab me! Please do not be rash!¡±

    ¡°When you guys entered the mansion, you entered the dream. If you want to go out...¡± Upon seeing that Zhao Yao was drawn into the conversation, he mmed his head against the Dragon ying Saber and let it pierce through his body.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes narrowed and showed anger. ¡°This fellow!¡±

    This was a dream after all. One could not escape dreams through death. After being caught, Arthas decided tomit suicide and suffer through the test again to be reborn into the dream.

    Hence, Arthas appeared in the sky again. He hugged his lower body and yelled in pain as weariness shed across his eyes.

    In this dream, there could not be real death. But every death would bring about psychology damages, not even mentioning the amount of psychological damage brought about by the saber.

    He had suffered more psychological damage than he expected by fighting Zhao Yao.

    Now, Arthas was no longer considering getting Zhao Yao on his side. He was considering how to kill Zhao Yao countless times so that he would be in a vegetative state in reality. It was the only thing Arthas wanted to do now.

    He red at Zhao Yao. ¡°You want the secrets of this dream? Okay, I shall tell you!¡±

    Then, many faces of humans and cats appeared on Arthas¡¯s body.

    The many cat that faces looked like Ares shot out golden rays.

    A human face shot out blood red light from his eyes.

    A face like Elizabeth¡¯s released a formless sound wave.

    Behind Arthas¡¯s head, a face that looked like Zhao Yao appeared and yelled in anger.

    All the faces that came out from Arthas¡¯s body looked like they wanted to rush out of Arthas¡¯s body to form individual bodies.

    ¡°Can you see this, Zhao Yao?¡± Arthasughed crazily. ¡°These are your subconsciouses. They know everything about you, all your powers, strategies, strengths, and memories. They are you.¡±

    In the dream, they have all your powers. Can you beat so many of them alone?

    Zhao Yao grew solemn. If was really like what Arthas had said then it would be difficult for Zhao Yao to fight them.

    ¡°Kill them!¡± As Arthas gave the order, all the subconsciouses formed individual bodies andnded in front of them like rain. They attacked Zhao Yao together.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s menacing subconscious was in the lead and in an instant a golden punch that brought along the raging air and the thunder smashed towards Zhao Yao¡¯s head.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s face fell as he looked at the countless amount of apostles and supercats in front of him. He retreated, but his subconscious did not let him go and they started fighting.

    Zhao Yao activated Time Freeze and started avoiding the attacks. However, his subconscious followed suit and soon his other enemies caught up.

    There were countless attacks and after Zhao Yao used Sleep Medusa, he killed a huge number of them. Only to see them revive.

    Killings, death, rebirth... The enemies that Zhao Yao killed were reborn repeatedly and under the strong attacks, he died and was reborn too.

    After dying for five to six times, Zhao Yao felt a buzz in his head. He was wary. ¡°There is a price for dying in the dreams...¡±

    Arthasughed. ¡°Zhao Yao, do you think that you can die countless time in these dreams? Every time you die in the dreams, you will suffer strong psychological damage till you break down. Then, you can leave the dream.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s face changed as wanted to kill Arthas. He wanted them to die together, however, he was stopped by his subconscious.

    Upon seeing this, Ares yelled, ¡°Help Zhao Yao!¡±

    Fish Ball shouted, ¡°It is our turn to fight!¡±

    Elizabeth snorted and looked at her own subconscious. ¡°How am I so fat!¡±

    Seeing Ares and the cats charging towards them, Zhao Yao quickly shouted telepathically, ¡°Don¡¯te over here. It¡¯s not worthwhile to die here. Moreover your willpower is weak. Death will weaken it more.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t you worry! Let us rescue you this time!¡± Ares roared as the golden Deflective Field transformed into a huge cat. Elizabeth, Fish Ball, and F¨±jin jumped into the Deflective Field.

    The huge golden cat surrounded the supercats as they collided with the Subconscious Army.

    Elizabeth meowed and sound waves were emitted from her mouth. ¡°Have a taste of our superpower!¡±

    Fish Ball¡¯s eyes shot out white rays that terrified the Subconscious Army as they thought they weresers and dodged. The subconscious version of Fish Ball ran headlong into the white light andughed. ¡°That¡¯s the most useless cat. Don¡¯t be afraid of his superpower!¡±

    The huge golden cat swept his tail and hit Lightning, who was on the tail¡¯s end, into subconscious Fish Ball, who flew out screaming in pain.

    The golden cat charged forward with Catherine in his mouth. Their enemies fell asleep wherever the golden cat went.

    The enemies possessed the same superpowers as Ares and the cats. Though Ares¡¯ team was cohesive, they started to incur casualties.

    ¡°My d*mn supercats are so disobedient.¡± Seeing Ares¡¯ team charging despite his orders, Zhao Yao sighed. Seizing the opportunity of the distraction, he charged out of the siege.

    The subconscious Zhao Yao followed Zhao Yao closely and fixed his gaze firmly on his prey.

    Zhao Yao remained calm as he analyzed, ¡°In this dreamscape, the subconscious is able to manifest his superpowers however they are not real. Though he won¡¯t be killed, his willpower will be weakened...¡±

    After Zhao Yao was mentally attacked, he could feel mental fatigue and Arthas¡¯ words came true.

    Gazing at the violent battle ahead, Zhao Yao had an idea and the Dimension Portal of the Extradimensional Belly opened in front of him.

    The subconscious Zhao Yao who was in close pursuit backed off like a frightened kitten when he saw Zhao Yao and the Dimension Portal.

    ...

    In the sky above, Arthas surveyed the battle with satisfaction. The ck man beside him descended and said, ¡°Lord Arthas, are you alright?¡±

    Arthas be grim and said, ¡°What could possibly happen to me? Do you think I¡¯ll lose to him? I was just toying with him just now.¡±

    ¡°Er...¡± The ck man nodded helplessly and said, ¡°If the fight continues, he¡¯ll be in a vegetative state. Isn¡¯t a serious wound sufficient?¡±

    Arthas folded his paws and said overbearingly, ¡°Are you telling me what to do?¡±

    ¡°I dare not.¡± The ck man backed off as cold sweat formed on his cheeks. This was no joking matter. Arthas was the master of this dreamscape and the ck man could not afford to antagonize him, otherwise he might die without knowing the reason.

    Arthas saw Zhao Yao opening the Dimension Portal and the hesitating subconscious Zhao Yao. He shouted in fury, ¡°What are you doing? Quickly finish him off!¡±

    The subconscious Zhao Yao became more terrified and backed off another step.

    Arthas said infuriated, ¡°Why is subconscious Zhao Yao so timid?¡± He moved both his paws and controlled subconscious Zhao Yao to charge at Zhao Yao.

    A tentacle came out from the Dimension Portal and wrapped around subconscious Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Zhao! Yao!¡±

    A loud roar came from the other side of the Dimension Portal. The shocking malice and murderous intent gave Arthas the chills.

    As the subconscious Zhao Yao cut off a tentacle, more tentacles came out from the Dimension Portal. They shed as if travelling through dimensions and wrapped around the subconscious Zhao Yao.

    The subconscious Zhao Yao struggled wildly. Even though he had great strength, he was unable to break free of the tentacles and he could not even make a scratch on them.

    Seeing the powerful subconscious Zhao Yao being dragged into the Dimension Portal, Arthas was getting anxious. ¡°What¡¯s that object?¡±

    The real Zhao Yao had retreated and he hid behind the Dimension Portal.

    After prompting by Zhao Yao, Ares and the cats noticed the Dimension Portal and charged towards it in spite of their injuries. They followed Zhao Yao and hid behind the Dimension Portal.

    Arthas frowned as he stared at the ck void of the Dimension Portal and sneered, ¡°Is that your killer move? Everyone charge! Destroy it at all costs!¡±

    As the Subconscious Army charged towards the Dimension Portal, a paw came out from the portal and grasped the ground outside. He crawled out from the portal slowly.

    Zhao Yao shuddered. ¡°The real Project X is still in the Extradimensional Belly and not in the dreamscape. This Project X is created ording to my subconscious knowledge.¡±

    Arthas was in the sky surveying the battlefield. He had an ominous feeling when he saw the strange cat climbing out of the Dimension Portal. ¡°Is he the escaped Project X?¡±

    Project X looked at the charging supercats and apostles and was engulfed by numerous explosions and superpower attacks.

    Arthas smiled. ¡°Project X isn¡¯t that impressive.¡±

    Countless tentacles came out from the rising inferno. Clones of Project X ran out of the Dimension Portal continuously and merge together, forming arge expanding meatball.

    The meatball broke out of the inferno, revealing a monster with numerous tentacles and organs. The organs pulsated while the tentacles grew longer and longer.

    ¡°What a disgusting creature.¡± Arthas ordered another attack but Project X absorbed the heat and energy of the fire and explosions directed at him and grew bigger. He bellowed as he charged forward.

    The supercats were grabbed by Project X and assimted into his body.

    Even the light rays from the sky, the earth underneath his legs and the air from the environment were absorbed by him and assimted into his body.

    Roar!

    Seeing the huge monster bellowing at the sky, Arthas panicked. ¡°What¡¯s going on? What¡¯s that creature?¡±

    Numerous thick tentacles of ten meters reached up and covered the sun and sky. The revived Subconscious Army was grabbed and assimted into his body.

    Project X, who was liberated in the dreamscape, grew, evolved, and became stronger at an astonishing speed. He swallowed everything in front of him.

    Within his body, countless lights lit up and fires burnt. Sparks spurt out from the surface of his body.

    His body underwent nuclear fusion to provide unlimited energy for his massive body.

    Tentacles as high as mountains swept across and ttened the manor grounds. Clouds in the sky were perforated and a violent gale uprooted trees of the nearby forests. Arthas and the ck man backed off in terror.

    Arthas panicked and screamed, ¡°Kill him! Kill him!¡±

    The Subconscious Army charged at Project X again.

    Arthas said in shock, ¡°The energy field of the dreamscape was negated by the stronger energy field of the creature.¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s immune to the sound wave illusion.¡± Arthas gaped. ¡°He shut off his five senses and uses an advanced method to sense this world.¡±

    Seeing the mes, lightning and frost being absorbed and assimted into Project X, Arthas trembled. ¡°Project X is evolving and is absorbing incremental amount of energy.¡±

    The subconscious Zhao Yao used all his might to attack but he was easily blocked by a tentacle and drawn into Project X¡¯s body.

    ¡°D*mn... what an incredible power!¡± Arthas inhaled a gust of cold air. ¡°He had surpassed the limits of flesh and blood. Perhaps he is evolving towards non-carbon structure...¡±

    Project X was unaffected by the control illusion as he separated into numerous clones. After they squirmed out of the main body, their eyes lit up and fired crimsonsers, vaporizing all apostles and supercats.

    Arthas¡¯ legs started trembling. ¡°He¡¯s can duplicate superpowers. What a terrifying creature!¡±

    All attacks against Project X were in vain as he would use the same superpower to kill his attackers.

    As the grotesque body of Project X grewrger andrger, Arthas felt a mixture of terror and hopelessness that he had not experienced before. He could not imagine such a terrifying creature in this world.

    Project X shook his body gently and ayer of darkness covered the surface of his body.

    ¡°He¡¯s evolving again?¡± Arthas moaned. ¡°He¡¯s able to attack with casual movements and his vibrations are converted to heat energy for consumption. His defenses are getting stronger.¡±

    The ck man standing beside Arthas was dripping cold sweat as he said, ¡°My Lord, you¡¯ve to stop this dreamscape. This creature will kill all of us.¡±

    Arthas shook his head as he said reluctantly, ¡°No, I can¡¯t stop the dreamscape... The price is too high. I must not stop this dreamscape. It¡¯s alright, he can¡¯t fly...¡±

    Project X¡¯s body extended towards the sky. With the aid of gravitational force, his mountainous body gradually floated.

    Millions of tentacles twirled around his body. From far, it looked like a dark sun rising in the sky.

    The ck man said anxiously, ¡°My Lord, you¡¯ve got to stop the dreamscape! He¡¯ll kill everyone and we¡¯ll go into a vegetative state in the real world!¡±

    Arthas hesitated as his paws trembled incessantly.

    The flying Project X extended his tentacles and aimed them at Arthas. The tentacles warped and opened up, revealing organicser cannons that were targeting Arthas.

    As though the sun had exploded, the light rays Illuminated the sky and engulfed Arthas and the ck man.

    The revived Arthas made his decision. ¡°I¡¯ll stop this dreamscape.¡±

    Arthas¡¯ face looked very grim. ¡°Stop... I can¡¯t stop the dreamscape... Someone¡¯s taking control of the dreamscape...¡±

    He looked at the flying Project X as though he had lost his family and his fear peaked. ¡°It¡¯s him? How did he do that? I spent a year training and depended on the Meteorite Fragment for the past few years to increase my superpower before I could use the Dream Dimension!!¡±

    The ck man sweated profusely as he said, ¡°What? You can¡¯t stop the dreamscape? What are we going to do?¡±

    ¡°Stop the violence. This is the only way.¡± Arthas¡¯ eyes lit up as he focused his attention. Willpower was his true power.

    ¡°I dere that everything stops right now.¡±

    Silver rays covered the entire dreamscape as reality and dreamscape disintegrated. Darkness fell upon everyone. When they recovered, they found themselves in the main hall of the manor.

    Everyone looked dazed as most of them could not recall the dreamscape that they were in.

    Dreams were weaved by the subconscious. Those without strong willpower were not able to recall their dreams.

    Having the strength of six cats that surpassed normal people, Zhao Yao immediately recalled the events in the dreamscape. He checked the Extradimensional Belly and found Project X motionless in the vacuum environment. He heaved in relief.

    He searched for traces of Arthas.

    At the back door of the manor, the ck man, Coco Wang, and Arthas fled in a hurry.

    Arthas said fearfully, ¡°Escape... we have to escape. We¡¯ve got to bring news of the dreamscape to the others.¡±

    He said feebly, ¡°Zhao Yao possessed within his body the power to destroy the world.¡±

    Recalling the gigantic figure of Project X in the dreamscape, their eyes were filled with terror.

    The dreamscape was manifested based on the dreamers¡¯ subconscious knowledge. The events that urred in the dreamscape were based on reality.

    Arthas and Coco Wang made use of the dreamscape to organize banquets, where they could gain prestige, obtain ssified information and facilitate the assimtion of the Star Cats into the upper echelon of society. Then they would have greater power in the human society.

    They did not expect their ns to backfire.

    Before they ran out of the manor, they heard a gust of wind. Zhao Yao was casually walking in front of Arthas, Coco Wang, and the ck man.

    Arthas roared frantically, ¡°Shut your eyes and ears! Don¡¯t look and listen to him!¡± After the encounter in the dreamscape, Arthas had discovered Zhao Yao¡¯s superpowers.

    The ck man transformed his body into a stream of mes and charged towards Zhao Yao.

    Coco Wang swiveled and fled while carrying Arthas.

    They knew they were no match for Zhao Yao so they wanted to escape.

    Zhao Yao looked at their backs and said, ¡°Stay.¡±

    They heard a gentle sigh by their ears. In the next moment, the burning ck man transformed back to human form and fell to the ground.

    Coco Wang¡¯s eyes were filled with darkness and she fainted.

    The ck man thought he was immune to Zhao Yao¡¯s superpower by transforming into fire while Coco Wang struggled to carry Arthas so she did not shield her hearing.

    Arthas shut both his ears and eyes and trembled as he curled into a ball on the ground.

    Zhao Yao smiled. Capturing Arthas in reality was much easier than he thought.

    He had a lot of questions about the dreamscape for Arthas.

    Zhao Yao looked at Arthas who copsed on the floor with no sign of struggle. It was an odd sight given his terrifying capabilities in the dream.

    ¡°Things like superpowers are really not to be underestimated in any battle,¡± Zhao Yao thought. In reality, he could hang Arthas upside down and wallop him hard but in the dream there was not much he could do to counter Arthas¡¯ attacks.

    ¡°And there¡¯s Project X. The Project X in the dream is too terrifying...¡± A glint of wariness shed across Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes. ¡°I need to find out the rtionship between this dream and reality. If the Project X in Arthas¡¯ dream is already so terrifying, does that mean that Project X would be equally terrifying if he was released in real life now?¡±

    Sirens from police cars red outside the manor. Zhao Yao¡¯s ears twitched as he picked up the ck man, Coco Wang, and Arthas from the floor. He leapt and fled the manor in a sh.

    He casually ripped off the meteorite pendant on Arthas¡¯ neck and melted it into his body.

    This increased hispletion rate of collecting meteorite fragments by 7%, increasing from 13% to 20%, earning himself some extra skill points.

    At the same time, the mission to kidnap Arthas waspleted sessfully. Another 5000*2 experience points were awarded to him.

    Zhao Yao gave a small smile. Next, he found a small, vacant vi where he threw the ck man, Coco Wang and Arthas on the floor. Zhao Yao thenzed on the sofa as Elizabeth stared at Arthas and activated her powers of control on him.

    Seeing how Arthas still had his eyes shut and his paws around his ears, Zhao Yao instructed, ¡°Elizabeth, let him look at me.¡±

    Arthas was forced to open his eyes and drop his paws as he stared at Zhao Yao.

    When he saw Zhao Yao ying with the Dragon ying Saber in his hand, fear shed in his eyes.

    Zhao Yao yed around with the saber as he said gleefully, ¡°It¡¯s the same question as before. Spill it out.¡±

    Arthas felt hopeless. Was he really going to reveal his power?

    However, he suddenly saw Zhao Yao¡¯s hand slip while he was ying with the Dragon ying Saber and watched as the knife lightly pierced his own leg. His whole body started convulsing.

    ¡°This guy is so cruel! He even dares to stab himself? Is he threatening me?¡± Arthas trembled in fear as he watched Zhao Yao¡¯s actions. He did not dare to hide the truth anymore as he said, ¡°I¡¯ll say it.¡±

    Upon hearing that, the sheriff at the side nodded his head at Zhao Yao.

    After they conversed for a while, Zhao Yao finally understood what Arthas¡¯ superpower could do.

    Arthas¡¯ superpower was actually super mental strength.

    This strength allowed Arthas to lift up a small car just by sensing his surroundings or even sense and manipte some emotions. It was an all-epassing ability though it did not have a deep impact.

    It was only after he started wearing the meteorite fragment everyday that his mental strength started increasing. One day, he suddenly realized that his mental strength had already reached the point where it was strong enough to influence other people¡¯s subconscious.

    He went on to learn hypnosis. Through that, he was able to enter dreams to kill the opponent¡¯s mental state, increasing his fighting power by leaps and bounds.

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°How did you make people enter your dreams then?¡±

    Arthas replied, ¡°Hypnosis can be achieved through changes in sound, light, or verbalmunication.¡±

    The sheriff beside Zhao Yao immediately turned and said, ¡°He¡¯s hiding something. The most important thing is something called a dream dimension.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes shed as he stared at Arthas and stabbed his tail with the knife.

    ...

    Arthas opened his eyes and stared at the familiar ceiling. Tears flowed from his eyes in an instant.

    A group of people in white coats gathered around him.

    ¡°Woah! It¡¯s a familiar face!¡±

    ¡°Why are you here again? You didn¡¯t get a clean job done the previous time?¡±

    ¡°Why are you still crying? Help him wipe away his tears.¡±

    ¡°Stop crying, you¡¯re already a regr here. Don¡¯t you know the pain gets worse when you cry and struggle?¡±

    Arthas begged pitifully, ¡°Spare me please. I can¡¯t do this anymore.¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao saw Arthas¡¯ body shaking in an instant before his eyes turned white and his four limbs started convulsing. He finally copsed on the floor weakly, as if his soul had flown out of his body.

    Zhao Yao lightly pped Arthas¡¯ face with the Dragon ying Saber before he said, ¡°Enough, stop acting like you¡¯re dead. I¡¯m warning you, don¡¯t talk shit to me. Answer me honestly when I ask you a question. Understand?¡±

    Arthas immediately nodded his head.

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°What method exactly did you use to make us enter the dream in the manor?¡±

    Arthas sighed. He knew there was no way he could keep this secret today and had no choice but to spill the beans, ¡°That¡¯s the power of the Dream Dimension¡±.

    ¡°The Dream Dimension?¡±

    After acquiring the ability to enter dreams, Arthas went on to learn various other rted skills. He even took courses on physics, astronomy, sociology, and psychology in UC Berkeley.

    At the same time, the meteorite fragment he wore continuously improved his mental strength, boosting his energy and brain.

    Arthas¡¯ abilities of controlling the subconsciousnesses and entering dreams increased at unprecedented rates with each day.

    One day, he finally felt a unique existence in his mental state.

    ¡°Everything that we can see is the physical world. The whole universe, from the gxy to a molecule, gravity, and even quarks, are all made of physical substances.¡±

    ¡°However, all that we can see in the universe, added together, only constitutes a small part of the whole universe. The space and things we can see are not even a tenth of what the whole universe actually contains.¡±

    Arthas sighed. ¡°It was on that fateful day, when I felt an energy that could not be detected through scientific means. After some research and experimenting, I called him the Dream Dimension.¡±

    ¡°Dream dimension?¡± Zhao Yao felt like he was bing more and more confused. He continued to ask, ¡°Why did you call him a dream dimension?¡±

    Arthas exined, ¡°Just like what I said earlier, the physical world that our lives could see in the past was merely a small part of the universe.

    It¡¯s as if we are blind, we can only see a very small part of the whole universe.

    The Dream Dimension, however, is a different part of the universe which we have never seen before.¡±

    Arthas be more excited as he talked about it. Maybe it was because he had kept his research to himself for so long so he felt joy in this sense of release as he poured it all out.

    He continued, ¡°However, the dream dimension and the physical world alone are still too little for us to exin the whole universe. There must be many other dimensions that have yet to be discovered. Adding up all these different dimensions will then truly constitute the whole universe.¡±

    Zhao Yao massaged his temples as he stared at Arthas. He suddenly stabbed Arthas¡¯s tail again. ¡°Are you kidding me?¡±

    Seeing Arthas convulse and copse on the floor, Sheriff said exasperatedly, ¡°Boss, ording to the results of my mind reading abilities, he seems to be saying the truth. At least, it¡¯s what he thinks to be the truth.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Zhao Yao stared at Arthas, who seemed to have been sucked out of his soul yet again and patted his head saying, ¡°Sorry about that. I thought you were pulling my leg? Continue talking about that... that...¡±

    ¡°Dream Dimension,¡± After saying that, Arthas sighed in his heart. ¡°Uncultured...¡±

    Sheriff whispered to Zhao Yao from the side, ¡°Boss, he said you¡¯re uncultured.¡±

    Zhao Yao pped Arthas¡¯ head as he said, ¡°Don¡¯t think too highly of yourself just because I acknowledged that whatever you said was true. Who cares about the stupid dimensions you are talking about? Just get straight to the point on how you actually made me enter into a dream.¡±

    Arthas shot an angry re at Zhao Yao, before he continued, ¡°After countless research and tries, I discovered that I can only see the Dream Dimension in certain special locations.¡±

    Zhao Yao felt a little enlightened, ¡°Such as in the manor?¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± Arthas said. ¡°The Dream Dimension and the physical world belong to the same universe. In some special locations, I am able to use my mental strength to see the Dream Dimension in the physical world.

    To enter the Dream Dimension, the only way I have found to cross over is through dreams, so I called it the Dream Dimension.

    In fact, aside from myself, you humans had entered the Dream Dimension since the dawn of the universe, just that you guys treated your experiences there as merely dreams.¡±

    ¡°Dreams?¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°You mean the dream that we entered previously wasn¡¯t simply your own dream but a Dream Dimension?¡±

    ¡°I developed that manor for a long time to make its connection with the Dream Dimension more versatile. It is now a half-physical, half-fantasy world. The moment you guys stepped into the manor, you would have already entered my dream and therefore, entering the Dream Dimension.¡±

    ¡°So that¡¯s what it is?¡± Zhao Yao eximed, ¡°That¡¯s really something we can¡¯t even defend ourselves against.¡±

    ¡°But that dream is now ruined by all of you!¡± Arthas screamed in rage, ¡°My ten whole months of efforts have gone to waste because of you guys!¡±

    Due to the appearance of Project X, Arthas had no choice but to violently cut off the connection between the dream and the Dream Dimension,pletely destroying the fruits of his research.

    Arthas stared at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Is that monster you released Project X?¡±

    Zhao Yao did not reply Arthas but continued asking, ¡°That monster is just one of my skills, it did not actually enter the dream. Will he be as powerful in real life as he was in the dream?¡±

    ¡°The Dream Dimension is part of the universe to begin with. Whatever happened there is intimately connected to whatever there is in the physical world and your subconscious,¡± Arthas said. ¡°As to whether it would be exactly the same, don¡¯t you already know the answer deep down?¡±

    Zhao Yao stabbed Arthas¡¯ side with the Dragon ying Saber and said, ¡°So do you actually know or not?¡±

    Arthas said, ¡°I have only just started exploring the Dream Dimension. Why don¡¯t we enter a dream again to experiment with it?¡±

    Zhao Yao scoffed and stabbed Arthas¡¯ tail again.

    ¡°Now tell me all you know about Star Cats.¡±

    ...

    Just as Zhao Yao grabbed Arthas to interrogate him about information rted to the Star Cats...

    Jianghai, in a catmint bar, on a random cat street.

    The leader of the Cao Gang, the orange cat Mao Mao, grabbed a pawful of catmint and stuffed it into his mouth. However, he spat it right out the next moment.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Is this catmint even for cats?¡±

    A ck cat behind the counter said in annoyance, ¡°That¡¯s what low-quality goods are like. If you have money you can just get the 1982 silver vine, it will definitely taste good. If you have no money, just eat that.¡±

    Mao Mao stared at the ck cat angrily and shouted, ¡°Who said I have no money? Give me another five servings of catmint on special offer. Remember, it¡¯s five servings!¡±

    ¡°Poor beggar.¡± The ck cat rolled his eyes and turned to take the catmint.

    Beside Mao Mao, his multi-colored cat sidekick said, ¡°Boss, we don¡¯t have enough money to pay the bill.¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t say.¡± Mao Mao looked at the catmint that the ck cat had brought and confirmed with him, ¡°This is the catmint on special offer, right?¡±

    ¡°Yessss.¡± The ck cat pursed his lips in annoyance and threw down the bag of long expired catmint before he turned and walked away.

    ¡°Despicable,¡± The multicolored cat raged. ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for that scoundrel, Matcha, who stole our money, would we even be in this pathetic state now?¡±

    Mao Mao¡¯s eyes glinted with revenge. ¡°That d*mned cat. One day, I will snatch back what he has taken from me.¡±

    Just as the as the two cats sniffed the catmint and ranted, a female voice sounded from behind them, ¡°Is this Brother Mao Mao from Cao Gang?¡±

    Mao Mao and the multicolored cat immediately whipped their heads around. They saw a man and a woman, both d in ck shirt and pants. A white cat stood on their shoulders and stared at them.

    The white cat smiled at them and said, ¡°Greetings to the both of you. I heard the leader of the Cao Gang is an outstandingly rare strong cat cat with a morality above everyone in Jianghai. Seeing you here today proves that what I heard was true.¡±

    Mao Mao stared at the two people and the cat and asked, ¡°What do you guys want?¡±

    The white cat said, ¡°Keke, we want to find a considerably strong gang in Jianghai to settle some business and people rmended the Cao Gang.¡±

    Mao Mao immediately stood up and said coldly, ¡°There are too many cats here. Let¡¯s go somewhere else to talk.¡±

    Mao Mao brought them to an empty alley and asked, ¡°What do you guys want?¡±

    The white cat chuckled and said, ¡°It¡¯s just teaching a supercat a lesson. We¡¯re wondering how much you charge here, Leader Mao?¡±

    Mao Mao and the multi-colored cat nced at each other. ¡°This guy looks rich.¡±

    ¡°Just squeeze them dry. Quote a high price, Leader.¡±

    Mao Mao tested the waters as he said, ¡°500 for chopping off a tail, 1000 for breaking a leg, and 200 for every teeth or w pulled out.¡±

    ¡°Leader Mao, you do fair business indeed,¡± The white cat continued. ¡°Then how much do you charge for killing a cat?¡±

    ¡°Killing a cat?¡± Mao Mao gasped.

    The multi-colored cat reminded him telepathically, ¡°Boss, we don¡¯t do cat-killing.¡±

    The woman in ck took out a photo of a cat. It was Matcha promoting courses in the Cat Wondend.

    The white cat pointed to the photo and said, ¡°Kill this cat and we¡¯ll pay you 100 000.¡±

    Mao Mao and the multi-colored cat¡¯s breathing immediately became heavier.

    The multi-colored cat shouted, ¡°Leader! We can¡¯t take this up. This is Matcha. It¡¯s that Headless Horseman¡¯s cat!¡±

    ¡°So what if it¡¯s the Headless Horseman¡¯s!¡± Mao Mao started breathing more heavily, ¡°With that 100 000, there¡¯s nothing I won¡¯t be able to buy! That is money that won¡¯t ever run out for the rest of our lives. We¡¯ll leave Jianghai once we¡¯re done and escape to a ce where no cat knows us and live there peacefully for the rest of our lives.¡±

    The multi-colored cat was still hesitant. ¡°This still doesn¡¯t sound good? This is not against the rules of our trade. We will be the joke of the other cat gangs.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s not good about it? Can being in a gang your whole life earn you 100 000 dors?¡± Mao Mao¡¯s eyes gleamed as he said, ¡°From today onwards, we are no longer a gang.¡±

    The multi-colored cat asked, ¡°Then what are we?¡±

    ¡°From today onwards, we are two cold-blooded killers.¡± Once Mao Mao and the multicolored cat sidekick were done conversing telepathically, they looked at the white cat and said, ¡°We are in.¡±

    Staring at backs of Mao Mao and the multicolored cat as they walked off, the woman said disdainfully, ¡°Can these two useless bums even do anything?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s a Chinese saying. It¡¯s called tossing a stone to find out what¡¯s ahead,¡± The man beside her said. ¡°Samantha, when ites to superpower battles, the most important thing to have is patience. Even if we are stronger than the Headless Horseman, we must not let our guard down. Or else, our hubris will lead to our downfall. This is something that happens everyday in the world.¡±

    On the fifth floor of the Cat Wondend.

    Two well-dressed girls were sitting on a chair and chatting away.

    One of them, the short-haired girl said, ¡°You came here to enrol your pet cat as well?¡±

    ¡°No, I came here to fetch my pet cat from school,¡± Xiao Shiyu said. ¡°Are you here to enrol your cat?¡±

    The short-haired girl nodded and said, ¡°I have been working overtime everyday recently. He¡¯s the only cat at home and only knows how to y all day long. He ys games till 2 or 3am in the morning and won¡¯t listen even when I scold him.

    So I want to enrol him in ss to educate him rather than letting him y games all day long at home.¡±

    ¡°Aiyo. Let me tell you. It¡¯s not right to let cats stay at home all day and y games, yeah.¡± Xiao Shiyu shook her head continuously as she said, ¡°If you let your cat stay at home all day and y games, the cat will be more stupid. How old is your cat?¡±

    ¡°Er... Eight months old.¡±

    ¡°Only eight months old? Let me tell you, cats like to y the most when they are eight months old. They will be rebellious as well. If you don¡¯t educate him at this point in time, he will climb over your head in future for sure. By then he will be squatting at home all day asking you for money, just like a NEET.¡±

    Xiao Shiyu sincerely advised her, ¡°That was just how my British Shorthair upstairs was like. We pampered him since young, giving him whatever he wanted. All he did everyday was to y games. s, when he dabbled in online football bettingst month, he gambled away our house.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± The short-haired girl asked, ¡°But is this school effective?¡±

    ¡°Of course it is. Let me tell you,¡± Xiao Shiyu said, ¡°My orange cat has been studying here for a month already. He licks his butt everytime after he goes to the toilet now and his paws when hees back home from outside. The teachers here teach them to be particr about hygiene.¡±

    ¡°Oh? How obedient,¡± The short-haired girl said. ¡°Which ss did you enrol your cat in?¡±

    Xiao Shiyu replied, ¡°Currently, I enrolled him in the foreignnguage ss, football ss, and three other super sses. He starts school at 8am and ends at 6pm everyday.

    I send him here before I go to work and fetch him after I finish. It¡¯s pretty convenient. I don¡¯t have to worry about his safety being home alone. It¡¯s great for him toe here and y with other cats too.¡±

    Xiao Shiyu said happily, ¡°The foreign teacher for their foreignnguage ss even told mest time that he had a talent for learning foreignnguages, just that he did not work hard enough. Aiya, my cat is just sozy. As long as he puts in the effort, getting top three in the ss won¡¯t be a problem for him.¡±

    The short-haired girl eximed in astonishment, ¡°They have exams here?¡±

    ¡°A school definitely needs exams to function,¡± Xiao Shiyu said. ¡°ording to the teachers here, they are an autonomous school, set up in coboration with the government. Their results are recorded in official governmental documents. Both state-owned and privatepanies take these results very seriously so it would be very beneficial for them next time in finding a job.¡±

    ¡°Finding a job?¡± The short-haired girl said. ¡°I never thought of asking our cat to work. He¡¯s still a small kitten afterall. I just want to see him grow up happily.¡±

    ¡°Aye, let me tell you. You can¡¯t go on like this,¡± Xiao Shiyu advised. ¡°Do you know that there are now more than 100 000 supercats in Jianghai? The numbers will only keep increasing and thepetition in society will be more and intense. It¡¯s like an army of thousands of men trying to cross a single-log bridge. You can¡¯t let your cat lose at the starting line.

    He may be happy now but he will hate you to death next time when he can¡¯t find a wife.¡±

    Seeing that the short-haired girl was visibly swayed by her words, Xiao Shiyu quickly added, ¡°If you want to enrol your cat you should do it now! Let me tell you, his sses here are very popr. There might be no slots left if you enrol toote.¡±

    Matcha hid behind the corner of a wall as he peeked out and watched Xiao Shiyu talk to the short-haired girl. He thought, ¡°Looks like they¡¯re chatting happily.¡± He turned back to look at the leader of the Mao Gang, who had been released from the Extradimensional Belly to work in the Cat Wondend like all others as the Extradimensional Belly was used to seal Project X inside.

    Although the leader of the Mao Gang kidnapped Lightning and Red Packet and had even auctioned off supercats before, he had turned over a new leaf and started working hard under Zhao Yao after being constantly educated by Zhao Yao.

    At that moment, Matcha stared at the nk look on the other¡¯s face, before he typed furiously on his phone, which transcribed into a shout, ¡°What are you staring at? Quick, go and attend to customers.¡±

    Matcha turned and saw two cats walking in through the entrance of the mall. His face immediately lit up as he walked up to wee them. ¡°The two of you look new here, are you guys here to enrol in our Y Academy?¡±

    The two cats that walked in were the leaders of the Cao Gang, Mao Mao, and his multicolored cat sidekick.

    However, the two cats had dyed their fur white, making them unrecognisable to Matcha.

    Upon seeing Matcha, the two cats nced at each other before Mao Mao replied, ¡°Heard that we would get a ¡®Headless Horseman¡¯s Disciple¡¯ certificate after we graduate from here. Is that true?¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± Matcha said. ¡°Our academy was personally set up by the Headless Horseman himself. It is the Berkeley of the supercat world, China¡¯s equivalent to the Ivy League, something like a filling station for cats...¡±

    ¡°Okay okay, stop boasting,¡± Mao Mao cut him off. ¡°I have tens of brothers under me who just want to get the certificate from here. Can we just enrol here without studying to get the certificate?¡±

    ¡°This is big business, big business!¡± Matcha thought excitedly as he replied, ¡°Sure, of course you can. May I know how many of your men will be enrolling?¡±

    Mao Mao replied, ¡°There are too many people here. Is there a small room where we can sit down and talk?¡±

    Matcha nodded his head vigorously. He found a small meeting room that was vacant and ushered Mao Mao and the multicolored cat sidekick in.

    Looking at the two fat cats in front of him, Matcha spoke with a wide smile on his face, ¡°May I know which ss you sirs want to enrol in? We allow our students to choose the courses they want to enrol in here. They can also opt to go for some package deals. Personally, I would rmend the second type of package more, especially ourtest package deal, ¡®The True Self-Reliant Cat¡¯. It is a 24-hour offline ss with a militarized management style. I can guarantee you that all the fat nerds thate in will emerge from the ss as tigers...¡±

    Mao Mao slowly stretched out his paw andzily tapped it on the table. ¡°How much is it?¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°Sir, you came just in time. Today is the monthsary of our Y Academy so we are having a special promotion. There is an 88% discount across all the courses and package deals, with a further discount of 500 dors with every 10 000 spent. The first ten students to be enrolled will even have the chance to take a photo with the Headless Horseman and keep it...¡±

    Seeing how Matcha was talking endlessly, Mao Mao whispered to his multi-colored cat sidekick, ¡°Now.¡±

    The multi-colored cat hesitated for a moment and nced at Mao Mao as he asked, ¡°Boss, we¡¯re really doing it?¡±

    Mao Mao said in annoyance, ¡°You don¡¯t say. Also, don¡¯t call me Boss. I am now a professional leopard mercenary. I am a killer cat that can do anything for money.¡±

    THe multi-colored cat replied, ¡°But if we really do it, we will be cat murderers. There will be no return for us. If we are wanted by the police, it won¡¯t be easy for us to find more targets next time too.¡±

    Mao Mao got angry, ¡°Look at your useless self. We are cold-blooded killers. Killers are not wishy-washy like female cats. Do you even have any sense of professionalism?¡±

    On the other hand, Matcha continued talking, ¡°... After all these discounts, the promotional price for every student¡¯s package deal would be 58 888 dors. Both of you felt familiar the moment I saw you two. I¡¯ll take it as making friends and round it down to the thousands. It will be 58 000 per cat then.¡±

    Mao Mao and the multicolored cat stoppedmunicating telepathically and stared at Matcha.

    Mao Mao cocked his head to one side and asked, ¡°How much did you say it was?¡±

    Matcha replied, ¡°Promotional price, 58 000. You will be able to have the ultimate experience of the package down from its original price of 198 000.¡±

    ¡°What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡±

    After hearing Matcha¡¯s exnation, the price of 58 000 exploded into 20 exmation marks in Mao Mao and the multicolored cat sidekick¡¯s mind.

    The two cats started conversing telepathically in a flurry. Countless thoughts flew across their minds and were transmitted to each other.

    ¡°A supercat academy actually earns this much money?!¡± Mao Mao¡¯s mouth fell wide open as he screamed wildly in his mind. ¡°One cat is charged 58k? Even if I was sold off I wouldn¡¯t be worth that amount of money. What kind of monsters are attending such a school? Batman??¡±

    ¡°Boss, it¡¯s only 58k today because the Cat Wondend is having a special promotion,¡± The multi-colored cat said seriously. ¡°The original price is a whopping 198k!¡±

    ¡°198k?¡± Mao Mao started shivering all over and the tail on his back shot upright like a police baton. ¡°If it¡¯s 198k for a cat, 10 cats would cost... cost...¡±

    Countless zeros appeared in Mao Mao¡¯s mind. This number had exceeded his capacity for calcting and the cat shivered as he thought, ¡°Maybe... maybe it can even buy the whole of Jianghai?!¡±

    The multi-colored cat pursed his lips as he thought, ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s that much...¡±

    Seeing the two cats in silence, Matcha started breaking out in cold sweat on his back as he thought, ¡°Eh? There¡¯s totally no reaction? Is the price I quoted too high? These two guys look quite dumb to begin with, I thought I could rip them off easily. If it doesn¡¯t work, I¡¯ll just have to reduce the price again.¡±

    However, Mao Mao whipped his head up and stared straight into Matcha¡¯s eyes as he said, ¡°Does every cat here have to pay such expensive school fees?¡±

    ¡°Uhh huhhh,¡± Matcha nodded hesitantly. He was about toe up with reasons to justify the cost and try to reduce the price when he saw Mao Mao kneel on the floor and said with all respect and seriousness to him:

    ¡°Boss Matcha, please let us work under your guidance!¡±

    The multi-colored cat sidekick waved at his boss as he asked hesitantly through telepathy, ¡°Boss, aren¡¯t we going to be cold-blooded killers?¡±

    ¡°Shut up. There¡¯s nothing good about being a killer!¡± Mao Mao said, ¡°Killing cats for money will stain my paws bloody. Won¡¯t you feel uneasy going to sleep every night? I¡¯ve had enough of living such a life!¡±

    The multi-colored cat said, ¡°But...¡±

    ¡°No buts!¡± Mao Mao said, ¡°From today onwards, I will be a normal staff of the supercat academy. I just want to lead a simple life collecting 58k from every cat that enrols. Why are you forcing me?¡±

    The multi-colored cat thought to himself, ¡°He unknowingly revealed his honest thoughts...¡±

    On the other hand, Matcha fell silent upon seeing Mao Mao kneeling on the floor.

    After a long pauses, Matcha touched his head and asked, confused, ¡°What do you guys mean?¡±

    Mao Mao immediately rushed up and hugged Matcha¡¯s leg as he screamed, ¡°We want to work here! Please take us in!¡±

    ¡°We can do anything and everything!¡±

    Matcha twitched his lips in annoyance, ¡°Then what about the enrolment you were saying just now?¡±

    Mao Mao did not dare to look at Matcha in the eye as he turned to the multi-colored cat and started conversing telepathically with him again.

    ¡°What should we do now? Should we betray those two guys who hired us?¡±

    The multi-colored cat said in exasperation, ¡°Boss, then Matcha would know that we came here with the intention to kill him.¡±

    ¡°Then what should we do?¡± Mao Mao panicked. ¡°D*mn, I still haven¡¯t earned enough for my son¡¯s allowance next month. My wife and everyone else in the family all look down on me. Every time there is a gathering with all the other Cat Kings, those despicable guys would look at me with disdain. This job... I must get this job!!¡±

    ¡°I suddenly feel a strong sense of resentment...¡± The multi-colored cat sidekick sighed in resignation. He said telepathically, ¡°The only way is to plead with him sincerely. If we show him our sincerity, it might work?¡±

    Matcha stared at the two supercats kneeling on the floor and sighed in exasperation, ¡°We already have enough workers here. We are not hiring new workers at the moment.¡±

    Mao Mao mmed his cat head on the floor and said in a loud voice, ¡°I will definitely work hard. Even if it costs me my life, I will willingly do it!¡±

    Matcha rolled his eyes. ¡°Did you even understand what I just said? I said we are not hiring any more cats.¡± As he said that, he stood up. ¡°Get your asses out of here before I call security.¡±

    Mao Mao was not going to leave just like that. He and the multicolored cat leapt towards Matcha who was walking out.

    ¡°Please, I¡¯m begging you!¡±

    ¡°We really need this job!¡±

    Matcha shed and appeared more than 10 meters away. He twitched his lips in annoyance, ¡°Where¡¯s the cats from the Cat Fighting unit? Quick, chase these two cats out.¡±

    More than 10 supercats charged out at once, beating up Mao Mao and the multicolored cat as they chased them out.

    Milk Tea ran over from afar and bumped his head into Matcha¡¯s body, ¡°Brother Matcha! Brother Matcha!¡± He nced at Mao and the multicolored cat sidekick curiously and asked, ¡°Who are they? Why are you chasing them away?¡±

    Matcha said in an annoyed tone, ¡°They are just two poor cats. Remember, Milk Tea, cats should always look for a high spot to rest on. You must always make friends with rich cats in this world. As for those poor cats, just trample on them mercilessly!¡±

    Matcha raised his paw high in the air as he said ferociously, ¡°The more cats you trample on, the better the view you can see from the top. This is what society is all about!¡±

    Milk Tea nodded his head awkwardly. ¡°Is that so?¡±

    On the other hand, Mao Mao and the multicolored cat were stunned when they saw Milk Tea.

    The multicolored cat said, ¡°Boss, that small cat looks just like you.¡±

    Mao Mao muttered, ¡°He doesn¡¯t just look like me. He looks more like that guy Matcha right? He even appeared here. Is he Matcha¡¯s son?¡±

    A few minutester, the two cats were chased out by a bunch of supercat security guards. They returned to the catmint bar dejectedly.

    ¡°D*mn, I got rejected on my first try at getting a job,¡± Mao Mao said despondently, ¡°Society is too cruel.¡±

    The multicolored cat said in exasperation, ¡°Boss, what are we going to do now?¡±

    At that moment, the man, woman, and white cat trio appeared and walked towards Mao Mao and the multicolored cat.

    ¡°Leader Mao, were you guys about to betray us earlier on?¡±

    ...

    Milk Tea thought about what Matcha said as he walked along the corridor of the Cat Wondend. ¡°I must step on more poor cats to climb up? Society is really cruel.¡±

    ¡°But how can I step on more cats like Brother Matcha?¡±

    ¡°... This is so tough.¡±

    Milk Tea scratched his head and took out his phone, ¡°Why don¡¯t I ask Master Zhao?¡±

    He sent Zhao Yao a message on Wechat.

    He was not expecting Zhao Yao to reply him immediately. However, Zhao Yao seemed to have inte connection right at that moment while he was in the US as he replied immediately.

    ¡°Absolute violence.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Milk Tea thought to himself, ¡°Does this mean I have to rely on superpowers? But I still don¡¯t know what my own superpower is.¡±

    Just as Milk Tea paced around in deep thought, a voice suddenly rang out, ¡°Milk Tea, what are you thinking about?¡±

    Milk Tea turned around and saw Uncle Egg taking Roly Poly for a walk. He smiled at Milk Tea, ¡°Looking at your lost expression, I guess there¡¯s something you¡¯re puzzled about?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Milk Tea walked over to Roly Poly and stroked Roly Poly¡¯s head. Seeing the cat squint his eyes in delight, Milk Tea asked, ¡°Uncle Egg, how can I discover what my superpower is?¡±

    ¡°Hmm, superpower...¡± Uncle Egg said. ¡°That¡¯s something unreasonable. Just rely on your intuition. Hahahahaha.¡±

    ¡°Unreasonable?¡± Milk Tea thought for a while and pressed his cell phone with his paw to record Zhao Yao and Uncle Egg¡¯s words.

    Uncle Egg asked curiously, ¡°What are you doing, Milk Tea?¡±

    Milk Tea replied as he continued recording, ¡°Yes, Yellow Mud told me to record important information so that I won¡¯t forget it.¡±

    ¡°Your rich experiences are worth noting down. I think they¡¯ll help me learn how to control my superpower.¡±

    ¡°Oh? Is that so?¡± Seeing Milk Tea¡¯s diligence, Uncle Egg straightened his back unconsciously and thought, ¡°Matcha is currently managing the Cat Wondend. As the sessor of Matcha and the favourite cat of Zhao Yao, though I am unhappy, I have to admit...¡±

    ¡°Milk Tea is very likely to seed Cat Wondend.¡± Uncle Egg¡¯s eyes shed. ¡°My words of wisdom could influence the future sessor of Cat Wondend and affect the lives of millions of supercats.¡±

    Uncle Egg felt enthusiastic as he gazed at Milk Tea and coughed. ¡°I have a deep understanding of superpowers.¡±

    Milk Tea looked at Uncle Egg curiously and said, ¡°Really? Could you share this with me?¡±

    Uncle Egg paused and curled his beard as he said, ¡°Superpower depends on age.¡±

    ¡°What? Age?¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡± Uncle Egg waved his paw and said, ¡°Age deepens the understanding of society and the world and that makes your superpower more powerful. Age is the important factor.¡±

    ¡°Is that how superpowers work?¡± Milk Tea nodded and recorded it quickly.

    Uncle Egg said, ¡°Old supercats are not orded respect in Cat Wondend. Old cats should be employed and given more speaking rights...¡±

    A supercat ran over and shouted, ¡°Uncle Egg! Bad news! Cats are fighting in the private room!¡±

    Uncle Egg said, ¡°I¡¯ll go deal with it right now!¡±

    Seeing Roly Poly sniffing here and there, Uncle Egg frowned and said to Milk Tea, ¡°Milk Tea, could you help me take care of Roly Poly? I will be back soon...¡±

    Uncle Egg shed and vanished. Milk Tea held Roly Poly¡¯s guiding rope and looked into Roly Poly¡¯s eyes.

    After a while, Milk Tea said, ¡°You are fat.¡±

    ¡°I only need to take care of Roly Poly, I might as well ask other supercats how to control a superpower.¡±

    Milk Tea pulled along Roly Poly to find other supercats in the Cat Wondend.

    ¡°Superpower?¡± Red Packet scoffed. ¡°What¡¯s so good about violent superpowers? Money is the most important thing in this society. With money, even Zhao Yao would work for me...¡±

    Cat Sage said, ¡°With regards to the superpower awakening, it¡¯s doing what you like. I activated my superpower the first time while watching cats and rats. Milk Tea, you can try doing things that you like.¡±

    Cannon said, ¡°Superpower awakening? Humph, you have asked the correct cat. If you lend me 500 dors, I will tell you... wait, wait, wait... 300 dors work too... 200 dors are good. Once I win, I will return the money to you! Please Milk Tea!!¡±

    Noodle smiled mysteriously. ¡°You want superpowers? That¡¯s easy, just... swallow this... Hey! Come back! It stinks the first time. Once you are used to it, it¡¯ll be okay.¡±

    Nekomata remembered and said, ¡°The first time I used my superpower? I can¡¯t remember. It¡¯s like I wanted to escape from the cage and I turned into Spirit form. Oh? She found me? If a small girl asks if you have seen me, say no.¡±

    ¡°Sphynx cat, are you able to hear me? If you can, show yourself and tell me how to stimte my superpower!¡±

    The sound of something falling was heard.

    Looking at Sphynx cat¡¯s head on the ground, Milk Tea recorded, ¡°What¡¯s the meaning of a head hitting the ground?¡±

    ¡°Are you talking about superpower?¡± Kun Wu said with experience. ¡°Once you¡¯ve awakened your intelligence, you have superpowers. You haven¡¯t understood the use and activation yet.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Milk Tea said excitedly. ¡°That means I have a superpower?¡±

    Kun Wu nodded and said, ¡°Of course, once you¡¯ve awakened your intelligence, you have a superpower and you need to stimte that superpower. Let me think... Doll!¡±

    Doll turned his head and said, ¡°Yes?¡± His eyes illuminated and American cities and streets appeared in his eyesight.

    Kun Wu said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you develop a machine that can help supercats stimte their superpowers?¡±

    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s Lazy Cat Training Machine.¡± Doll touched his chin and said, ¡°Zhao Yao asked me to develop the machine to stimte Matcha... No, it¡¯s for the college to force the supercats to train. However, the machine is unstable...¡±

    ¡°No problem!¡± Milk Tea said with anticipation. ¡°I¡¯d like to try!¡±

    Roly Poly was behind Milk Tea meowing.

    Half an hourter, Milk Tea was tied to a bed inclined at 45¡ã and his body was stuck with strange shaped objects.

    He wore a huge helmet.

    Roly Poly sprawled at the side obediently, watching Milk Tea curiously.

    Milk Tea said puzzled, ¡°Doll, is this machine safe? I feel it¡¯s kind of dangerous.¡±

    Doll said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Although it¡¯ll cause pain in the nerves, it¡¯s absolutely safe and will not harm users.¡± Doll pressed the start button and electricity flowed through Milk Tea¡¯s body, stimting his muscles, nerves, and bones.

    Doll asked, ¡°Is it manageable?¡±

    Milk Tea nodded and felt numbing sensations on his body as he said, ¡°It¡¯s strange but it¡¯s not painful.¡±

    ¡°Let me increase the intensity.¡± Doll increased the machine intensity while scanning the images sent from the United States.

    Numerous surveince drones floated in the skies above major American cities, collecting intelligence for Doll.

    ¡°I thought Zhao Yao would make quite a ssh in the United States. He¡¯s actually quite discreet.¡±

    Suddenly, Doll was shocked. ¡°That is ...¡±

    Milk Tea, who was lying on the bed, said, ¡°It¡¯s getting painful.¡±

    ¡°Hey, Doll, stop for a while.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s very painful!!¡±

    ¡°Meow-ow!!!¡±

    As Milk Tea screamed, dark mes danced in his eyes.

    Doll immediately shut off the training machine.

    Seeing the broken training machine and the copsed Milk Tea on the ground, he felt as though cold sweat was dripping on his head.

    ¡°Milk Tea... I suppose he won¡¯t die.¡±

    Milk Teaid motionless as he passed out on the ground. Doll felt as though his mechanical body was dripping cold sweat.

    ¡°Milk Tea is Zhao Yao¡¯s favourite cat, if he knows about this...¡±

    Doll saw the image of the red-eyed Zhao Yao sticking him into a boiling oil pot with a fork and trembled as he said, ¡°No! I must save him!¡±

    ¡°Headless! Scan Milk Tea¡¯s vital statistics!¡±

    ¡°Where¡¯s the automated surgery kit? Quickly find and activate it!¡±

    Headless said, ¡°Master Doll! He has stopped breathing. Do I activate the cremation procedure?¡±

    ¡°No, don¡¯t activate!¡±

    ¡°How could it be? The training machine at the highest intensity isn¡¯t capable of killing a rat! How could Milk Tea be mortally wounded?¡±

    ¡°Ah!¡± Doll leaned on Milk Tea¡¯s body to detect his heartbeat and jumped with fright.

    ¡°Doomed!¡± Doll grasped his head and paced up and down. ¡°There¡¯s no heartbeat at all!¡±

    Doll was filled with fear as he knelt down. ¡°No, I¡¯m doomed. Zhao Yao will kill me. What should I do?¡±

    ¡°My rtionship with Kun Wu is getting better and better.¡±

    ¡°Machine development is also improving.¡±

    ¡°Why did I be a cat killer all of a sudden?¡±

    Headless said, ¡°Master Doll, ording to my data analysis, you may want to watch ¡®Prison on Fire¡¯, ¡®Prison Break¡¯, ¡®Shutter Ind¡¯, and ¡®Prison School¡¯. They will be extremely helpful for your prison life.¡±

    ¡°D*mn you! Shut up!!¡± Doll said, infuriated. ¡°It¡¯s your fault for causing the machine failure! I should hand you over to Zhao Yao.¡±

    ¡°That won¡¯t work as Zhao Yao¡¯s not that easy to deal with.¡±

    Doll fell to the ground and tossed and turned in anguish.

    Headless said, ¡°Master Doll, if you don¡¯t want to enter prison, ording to my research of 21 works of fiction such as ¡®Hannibal¡¯, ¡®Law Abiding Citizen¡¯, ¡®Death Note¡¯, ¡®Case Closed¡¯, etc, your choice of action is to destroy the carcass.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Doll turned his head and looked at Milk Tea on the ground. ¡°Destroy the carcass?¡±

    Doll shook his head and said, ¡°No, how could I do such a thing?¡±

    ¡°Headless, what temperature is required for the carcass to be ash?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t activate the cremation procedure. I¡¯m only asking!¡±

    Doll looked at Roly Poly abruptly and Roly Poly gawked at him and said, ¡°Meow?¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t Roly Poly retarded?¡± Doll schemed and thought, ¡°If I frame Roly Poly as the one who attacked and ate Milk Tea... No, no, gosh, what am I thinking?¡±

    As Dollid on the ground feeling hopeless, Milk Tea shivered, opened his eyes and stood up.

    Doll was astonished.

    Milk Tea massaged his head and said to Doll, ¡°What happened? Did I pass out?¡±

    Doll and Headless exchanged messages in a frenzy.

    Headless said, ¡°All vital statistics of Milk Tea had returned to normal. This is a healthy supercat.¡±

    Doll thought, ¡°Huh? Did Milk Teae back from death?¡±

    ¡°No, he did note back from death. He didn¡¯t die at all.¡±

    ¡°Yes, my Lazy Cat Training Machine can¡¯t kill a rat at the highest intensity.¡±

    ¡°There must be a problem with the sensors, Milk Tea¡¯s fine.¡±

    ¡°That must be the case.¡±

    Milk Tea looked at his paws and asked bewildered, ¡°Doll, what happened to me just now? Is my superpower activated? I can¡¯t recall anything after I lied down on the bed.¡±

    ¡°Ah, you...¡± Doll said, ¡°Slept on the bed. It¡¯s a pity, my Lazy Cat Training Machine is unable to stimte your superpower.¡±

    Seeing Milk Tea leading Roly Poly away, Doll heaved in relief. ¡°I was scared stiff. Thank goodness, Milk Tea¡¯s alright.¡±

    His paws stepped on a machine fragment. Looking at the Lazy Cat Training Machine fragments strewn all over the floor, Doll scrutinized the fragments and discovered numerous sensor dataing out from them.

    ¡°Hmm... fragments of the machine? Why did the machine break into pieces?¡±

    Headless said, ¡°Master Doll, over in the United States...¡±

    ¡°Yes, we haven¡¯t finished scanning the American intelligence.¡±

    ...

    Milk Tea led Roly Poly in the Cat Wondend and was upset as he thought, ¡°How can I stimte my superpower?¡±

    ¡°Roly Poly, do you know how to stimte my superpower?¡±

    Roly Poly looked deeply into Milk Tea¡¯s eyes, meowed abruptly, licked his paws and cleaned his face.

    ¡°Well, how could you know?¡±

    At this instant, Roly Poly¡¯s body shook violently. He braced his chest and his sharp eyes scanned the surroundings.

    ¡°Huh? Roly Poly, are you alright?¡±

    Roly Poly charged wildly. As his weight was three to four times that of Milk Tea, Milk Tea was unable to restrain Roly Poly and was dragged along. They charged out of the Cat Wondend¡¯s main door, ran along the streets, and arrived at a fried chicken stall.

    Seeing Roly Poly looking at the fried chicken, Milk Tea said, ¡°No, you can¡¯t eat fried chicken, Roly Poly.¡±

    Milk Tea tried his best to restrain Roly Poly but was pulled by him towards the stall.

    Behind them tens of meters away, Mao Mao and his deputy, who was a multi-colored cat, were creeping on the wall edge, observing Milk Tea and Roly Poly.

    Mao Mao said, ¡°Hmm... isn¡¯t that Matcha¡¯s kid? He came out from the wondend?¡±

    The deputy said, ¡°Gang leader, what shall we do? Do we make a move on them?¡±

    ¡°We have no choice.¡± Mao Mao said, ¡°If we don¡¯t act, that three guys will not let us off. Cat Wondend is too dangerous. Let¡¯s kidnap Matcha¡¯s son and force Matcha out.¡±

    Mao Mao gazed at Milky Tea and said, ¡°Follow them closely. Once we have the chance, act immediately!¡±

    In a temporary house in America.

    Zhao Yao was thinking while hey on the sofa with his eyes closed.

    Arthas wasying by his side as he watched Zhao Yao. ¡°What kind of terrible idea is this devil thinking of again? Why is the organization so slow. They need toe and save me. Haven¡¯t they realized that there is something wrong?¡±

    Coco Wang was eying Zhao Yao suspiciously too. ¡°Arthas had leaked a lot of important intel just now. Zhao Yao must be thinking of a way to deal with Star Cats. What will be his next step? It is so hard to imagine.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°Should I call pizza or Mexican food for delivery?¡±

    ¡°I should get Mexican food. I heard it is really popr in America now.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought about it and reached his hand out to grab the phone.

    Arthas and Coco Wang were watching him. ¡°It¡¯s here! Is he going to make a move?¡±

    An hourter, Arthas and Coco Wang were speechless. ¡°In the end, all he did was order food.¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed while eating. ¡°What should I do next?¡±

    ording to the intel that Arthas had given him, the meteorite fragments in Star Cats were with the nine creators. Which meant, if he wanted to get the meteorite fragments, he had to attack the other eight creators.

    ¡°If Arthas¡¯ capture got out then the rest of the cats will be in high alert.¡± Zhao Yao thought about it, ¡°Even Arthas does not know where the other cats are. What should I do?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Arthas and had an idea. ¡°Or should I just use Arthas and sneak in? Sneak inside Star Cats and attack them unexpectedly.¡±

    ¡°With Sheriff¡¯s mind reading powers and Elizabeth controlling Arthas, he shouldn¡¯t have the opportunity to y tricks.¡±

    ¡°This is the easiest solution.¡±

    Two hourster, Arthas returned to his mansion with the Dragon ying Saber hanging on his chest. Behind him was Coco Wang and the apostle in ck. The apostle had been wiped of his memories for thest 24 hours.

    Upon seeing Arthas, someone ran up immediately and asked, ¡°Boss, where have you been? The other creators are very concerned about you.¡±

    Although Zhao Yao and Arthas had fought in the dream, Zhao Yao had managed to capture the cat and the two people who escaped.

    Beside Zhao Yao and a few others, the rest of them no longer remembered what happened in the dream.

    The fight where Zhao Yao was chasing after Arthas was too small scaled and fast. Hence, no one had noticed it.

    Of course if Arthas remained missing then it would raise the suspicions of the other creators in Star Cats and eventually they would be lead to Zhao Yao.

    However, since Arthas was back now then there was nothing wrong anymore.

    The few Star Cats workers talked to Arthas for a while and went back to report.

    Arthas looked at the Dragon ying Saber hanging on his neck and sighed. He brought Zhao Yao to the sofa in his living room.

    Ares and the rest were still following Zhao Yao and within Zhao Yao¡¯s Deflective Field. With an illusion, they were hidden from the eye.

    Lightning saw Ares pondering and whispered, ¡°Trust me, it will be morefortable if you shave.¡±

    ¡°I am not thinking of that!¡± Ares chided Lightning. Then, he asked curiously. ¡°Is it really that useful?¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡± Lightning said. ¡°Trust me, after you shave you can deal with real physical damage.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Ares was hesitating.

    Meanwhile, Elizabeth was staring at supercat Mary. ¡°She ate so much but she really hasn¡¯t been to the toilet for more than 24 hours. What a great power!¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Arthas and said, ¡°So, get as many creators over as you can.¡±

    ¡°This fellow, he is thinking of taking down the other cats? No, I have to find a way to contact the other supercats. I must inform them of the situation here.¡±

    Just when Arthas was thinking of that, Sheriff whispered in Zhao Yao¡¯s ear.

    Zhao Yao raised his eyebrows and he snapped his fingers. The Dragon ying Saber on Arthas¡¯s neck floated up with the Deflective Field and rubbed against Arthas¡¯s chest.

    ¡°Arthas, stop thinking of other things. Ask the other supercats toe over. I am not going to kill them.¡±

    Chills ran down Arthas¡¯s spine when he looked at the Dragon ying Saber. He tried to remain calm as he thought, ¡°Does he have a supercats with the powers to read minds? Why does it seem like he knows what I am thinking about.¡±

    Sheriff said, ¡°He is guessing that we have mind reading powers.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Zhao Yao looked at Arthas and said, ¡°Okay. Call your friends over. Stop ying tricks with me.¡±

    Arthas said helplessly, ¡°I may not be able to...¡±

    ¡°Hmph?¡±

    ¡°No, actually... It is that... We are not on good terms,¡± Arthas said awkwardly. ¡°Haha, they are not on good terms with me.¡±

    ¡°What.¡± Zhao Yao looked at Arthas with disgust.

    Arthas was angry. ¡°Do you think it is easy to work in Star Cats? You don¡¯t understand the pressures of a big enterprise!¡±

    ¡°Whatever.¡± Zhao Yao tugged the corners of his mouth and said, ¡°Pass me your phone. How do you guys normallymunicate? I will contact them.¡±

    Arthas handed him his phone and pointed at the few cats in his contacts.

    Zhao Yao rubbed his chin. ¡°The cat that is named Volcano lives the nearest to you right? A male cat?¡±

    Arthas said, ¡°He is a stupid barbarian that lives in prehistoric times. I am in terrible terms with him. He will never reply.¡±

    ¡°Is it so?¡± Zhao Yao looked at Elizabeth and said, ¡°Elizabeth, smile.¡± Then, he took a picture of Elizabeth.

    He shook his head when he saw Elizabeth looking bewildered. ¡°Elizabeth, you need to look sexier and full of temptation.¡±

    ¡°Lift your leg higher.¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes. Stick out your tongue.¡±

    ¡°Lift your tail higher.¡±

    ¡°Be a bit more wild.¡±

    ¡°Yes. This is it.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the photo satisfyingly and sent it Volcano.

    After Zhao Yao sent the picture, Volcano¡¯s profile picture lit up.

    ¡°Arthas, do you think having a few photos are impressive? Let me show you what pictures of cats are called.¡±

    Then, he saw that Volcano had sent over a dozen pictures. He had sent pictures of British Shorthairs, American Shorthairs, Ragdoll cats and Persian cats and they were all professionally taken.

    ¡°This fellow...¡± Zhao Yao clenched his teeth and replied, ¡°All the photos that I have sent are taken on the spot.¡±

    Volcanoughed.

    Zhao Yao video called Volcano and pointed the camera at Elizabeth, Catherine, and Diana. Then, he grabbed Artha over.

    Volcano saw three extremely good looking Ragdoll cats appear on the phone screen and there was a very ugly paw touching the Ragdoll cats.

    With Volcano¡¯s eyesight, he could tell immediately that it was Arthas¡¯s paw.

    While Volcano was getting more and more excited and as the content got more explicit, the video call ended.

    Volcano replied anxiously, ¡°Arthas! Why aren¡¯t you continuing! Why did you hang up!¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°Stupid. The next few scenes cannot be captured on camera. My paws and mouth are busy.¡±

    Volcano was stunned and he was thinking of the circumstances in which both his paws and mouth would be upied. Then, he got more excited. ¡°Turn on the camera! If you can¡¯t hold it with your mouth then put it at the side!¡±

    Zhao Yao: ¡°You want to watch it?¡±

    Volcano: ¡± Yes, yes, yes! (?¦Ø?)¡±

    Zhao Yao: ¡°No.¡±

    Volcano: ¡°(¨p?§Õ?)¡±

    Volcano: ¡°Arthas! Are you kidding me? Do you know who you are talking to?¡±

    Zhao Yao, ¡°I, Arthas, love to y with cats who think highly of themselves. I have a hundred ways to make sure you scream and you will be helpless against all of them.¡±

    ¡°What!¡± Volcano¡¯s head started burning and the mes rushed up to the sky. He was so angry that he couldn¡¯t control his powers. He raged, ¡°When has Arthas dared to speak to me like this? Is this the Arthas that I had control over?¡±

    Then, Volcano yelled in pain and felt the pain spreading on his head. ¡°Oh no! I¡¯m burnt!¡±

    ¡°Quick! Extinguish the fire!¡±

    Immediately, staff in thick fire fighting suits who rushed over. They sprayedrge amounts of fire extinguisher before extinguishing the fire.

    Volcano looked in the mirror and saw the bald patch on his head. He was even more angry.

    He started typing furiously, ¡°Arthas! I order you to turn on the camera now! You have to do whatever I ask you to do! Or I will burn your house down!¡±

    Zhao Yao, ¡°Haha, it¡¯s okay. You can call all the cats that you know over here.

    I don¡¯t mind ying with you.¡±

    ¡°This fellow!¡± A me started burning on Volcano again. A staff member on the side started shouting, ¡°Volcano! Control your temper. Your head is burning again!¡±

    After a few minutes, the bald patch on Volcano¡¯s head increased and Volcano got angrier.

    ¡°Arthas, I want all three Ragdoll cats. If you don¡¯t hand them over, I will roast you.¡±

    Zhao Yao, ¡°I don¡¯t like to waste my time talking rubbish. If you think you have the ability to y with me. I don¡¯t mind entertaining you.¡±

    Volcano yelled, ¡°Arthas! You are too rude!¡±

    Ask Apollo and his men to go over there!

    I am going to snatch his female cats from in front of him, shave all his fur, burn his house, and teach him how to respect his elders.¡±

    ...

    In Yellowstone National Park, under theva. Fiery dragons could be seen tumbling and jumping around.

    Several human shaped mes were fighting.

    Apanied by their actions, the magma around them looked like it had been sucked out of energy as it gradually extinguished and turned cold.

    Roar! There was a yell from the mes as a me that was ten meters tall exploded and spread outwards. It rushed out in a ring and blew the rest of the mes apart.

    After the st ended, it solidified again. It formed a two meter tall man that had muscles as solid as marble. He had fiery red long hair that was constantly burning and of the same temperature as the surrounding magma.

    There were hints of red glow emitting from under his skin. He looked like a human but actually was a bodypletely made of mes.

    He was a natural disaster representative under one of the nine creators. Most of them called him Apollo and he was the strongest apostle under Volcano.

    Meanwhile, the other human shaped mes turned back into humans and looked at Apollo in awe. It was not just because of his powers but also because of his impossibly strong will power.

    To increase thepatibility with his powers and to increase hisbat strength, Apollo had not returned to human form for three months.

    He stayed in the magma everyday, remained in the fiery form, and maintained his existence from absorbing heat from the magma.

    To improve his control over the power, except for going to Volcano and borrowing the powers everyday, he stayed in the magma for 24 hours and maintained his fiery body.

    In the magma, even if he had the power to turn into mes, if he identally deactivated the powers, he would killed by the high temperature, poisonous gasses, and high pressure immediately.

    He was cing himself in a highly dangerous situation, constantly forcing himself to expand his potential and adapt to his abilities.

    Now, Apollo¡¯s powers were a form of instinct. They were like breathing, swallowing, and his heartbeat. He was in the fiery state every moment.

    After feeling Apollo¡¯s status, everyone there was taken aback. Especially when he looked at them with the fiery eyes, they felt as though their blood had stopped flowing. They felt uneasy even though they were in their fiery state too.

    ¡°Apollo¡¯spatibility with his powers is getting higher and higher.¡±

    ¡°He looks like a real human if you don¡¯t look closely.¡±

    ¡°Did he ovee his human instincts? His willpower is so scary.¡±

    Apollo looked at them and said, ¡°What did you guyse over here for? I said not to disturb my training if there is nothing important right? Fire Wolf?¡±

    Fire Wolf felt an intense pressure when Apollo looked at him. The magma around him seemed to have stopped flowing and pressured towards him.

    Fire Wolf answered quickly, ¡°Boss wants you to go and capture a cat for him.¡±

    ¡°Boss?¡± Apollo nodded and said, ¡°Okay.¡± Then, he turned into a me again, broke through theyers of magma, and charged towards the exit.

    Fire Wolf heaved a sigh of relief and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go and gather too.¡±

    ...

    After two hours, there was a rumbling sound from the sky.

    Coco Wang ran to the side of the bed and looked towards the sky. There was a me flying around the sky like a meteor.

    Looking at this Coco Wang sighed, ¡°The Natural Disaster Representative from Volcano is here. He is as arrogant as always.¡±

    Zhao Yao walked behind Coco Wang and looked at the sky too. ¡°As always?¡±

    Coco Wang said, ¡°Volcano¡¯s power is the ability to turn into mes, absorb heat while being in the fiery state, and send out heat waves. If they can maintain this state then it is very restrictive for Arthas.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up and nodded.

    Arthas¡¯ dream powers, if cast first, gave him the upper hand 99% of the time.

    But, if Volcano¡¯s powers were to turn into mes then he could not be ced under hypnosis.

    However, if they were in the Dream Dimension, it was a different story. Arthas was desperately trying to improve his Dream Dimension powers as he wanted to be able to fight Volcano.

    ¡°However, Volcano has many apostles, much more than Arthas.¡± Zhao Yao thought about it, then understood. Although the power to turn into fire was very strong, it was for a straight battle. No matter how strong the apostles were, they would be easy to control.

    Arthas¡¯s psychological powers were hard to notice. The hypnosis and dream powers were all hard to detect. That¡¯s why Arthas did not dare to lend his powers to too many apostles, in case there was something wrong with his apostles.

    Meanwhile, Apollo turned into a human-shaped me and looked at the manor coldly.

    There were three beams of fire that attacked the ground and as it exploded it left a ck pit filled with scorch marks and soot.

    The security personnel from the manor rushed up and started shouting.

    The three beams of fire formed into a five meter tall fiery human and Fire Wolf looked at the security personnel that were surrounding them. He sneered and spat out fire sparks. ¡°Get lost if you don¡¯t want to die.¡±

    Then, he waved his palm and a fire ring rolled out. All the grass turned into ash and the security personnel backed down in rm.

    The three fiery man walked towards the the living room and left scorch trails everywhere. They knocked down the door to the dining hall and saw Coco Wang and the other apostles looking at them.

    Upon seeing Coco Wang, he ced his attention on her, the best apostle under Arthas. He did not bother to look at the other apostles.

    ¡°Coco Wang, where are the three female cats?¡± Fire Wolf asked coldly. ¡°Volcano asked for us to bring them back. Hand the cats over or we will burn down the house.¡±

    The other two apostles startedughing upon hearing this.

    Zhao Yao, who was next door, frowned. ¡°He is so timid. He didn¡¯t even dare toe over himself and had to sent his men.¡±

    Zhao Yao wanted to hide and sneak an attack on Volcano, who knew that Volcano would be cautious and had no intentions ofing personally.

    In the hall, Fire Wolf said impatiently, ¡°Hey, can you hear us? Coco Wang, you should know that after we turn into mes, you are like an ordinary human to us. Hand over the three ragdoll cats and don¡¯t ask for trouble.¡±

    It wasn¡¯t the first day of Volcano and Arthas being in a conflict. Most of the time, they could defeat Arthas. Not to mention it was only his apostles and not Arthas himself.

    Hence, Fire Wolf and the other two were fearless.

    Coco Wang frowned and nced towards the next room. She told Fire Wolf, ¡°I don¡¯t know what you are talking about.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± The mes on Fire Wolf grew and the air around him started to distort. Coco Wang was the first to feel the scorching heat.

    Then, he raised his right leg and stomped on the ground. The fire spread out in a ring with Fire Wolf in its center.

    The floor was burnt and the sofa turned into ash. All the wallpapers and furnishing yellowed, fell off, or turned into ash...

    Coco Wang was the first and felt a surge of heat, her hair curled, and there was an astonishing heat radiating off her skin.

    She activated her mental powers, but she could not defend against the attack.

    However, the fire stopped when it touched Coco Wang and dispersed into the air.

    Fire Wolf looked at the defenseless Coco Wang and said, ¡°Hand the cats over or it will not be so simple the next time.¡±

    Coco Wang swallowed her saliva and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know what you are talking about...¡±

    Fire Wolf tugged the corners of his moth and fire leaped out. It slowly moved around Coco Wang and it started to increase in temperature. ¡°Volcano wants the cat. Stop making it hard for us.¡±

    When Zhao Yao, who was deep in his thoughts, heard that. He looked up in their direction and broke down the wall to the living room.

    Then, he clenched his fist and the Deflective Field covered the three of them.

    ¡°Who are you?!¡±

    Fire Wolf and the others were experienced fighters and they reacted almost immediately as they shot fire at Zhao Yao.

    There was a soft sh and invisible powers came out of nowhere. The fire was blocked back by the Deflective Field.

    Then, the Deflective Field brought the fire and attacked Fire Wolf. It tightened with a clench of Zhao Yao¡¯s fist.

    Bam, bam, bam, bam! The three of their faces changed as they turned into mes and exploded out.

    The scorching heat wave crashed against the Deflective Field and nothing happened. Inparison, after turning into mes, they were squashed by the Deflective Field and eventually became three fireballs. They floated in front of Zhao Yao.

    Fire Wolf clenched his teeth and looked at Zhao Yao nervously. ¡°Who are you? Coco Wang, what do you want to do? Ask him to release us!¡±

    Coco Wang looked at Zhao Yao and remained silent.

    Then, Zhao Yao waved his hand and grabbed Arthas.

    Upon seeing this, Fire Wolf was rmed. ¡°This guy, he is holding Arthas as hostage?¡± But, thinking that Apollo was waiting for him in the sky, he heaved a sigh of relief.

    ¡°At least Apollo is still here...¡±

    Arthas said nervously, ¡°Why are you so rash! There are dozens of apostles in the sky! Especially Apollo! I heard that he has turned his powers into a form of instinct. He is not easy to deal with.

    Especially when there are so many people. If they leak the news, we will be surrounded by Star Cats.¡±

    Zhao Yao turned around and said, ¡°I will go and catch them.¡±

    Arthas said nervously, ¡°Wait, it is too easy for them to escape outside. I will think of a way to lure them in...¡±

    ¡°There is no need for the trouble.¡± Zhao Yao walked towards the door. ¡°Any apostles whose powers are exposed will not even have the chance to escape.¡±

    Before Fire Wolf, Coco Wang and Arthas knew, Zhao Yao had disappeared.

    Before, they could react, the doors of the hall were kicked open again and Zhao Yao grabbed Apollo¡¯s head like he was a chicken. Behind him were several apostles dragged by the Deflective Field.

    Apollo and his men were defeated.

    In the hall, Apollo, Fire Wolf, and the rest were standing in front of Zhao Yao obediently as they looked at Zhao Yao nervously, frightened, and warily.

    Zhao Yao was sitting on the sofa like a boss as Arthas peeled a banana and handed it up to him.

    Coco Wang stood beside Zhao Yao and was massaging his back. She thought to herself, ¡°This Zhao Yao, it has just been a few years and he ispletely different from his school days. He is like apletely different person...¡± She thought back to the lowkey and honest Zhao Yao that looked harmless. Coco Wang sighed,¡±Guys turn bad when they have cats...¡±

    Zhao Yao took the banana that Arthas had peeled and told Apollo and his men, ¡°Do not say that I did not give you guys a chance. 10 seconds, I give you guys 10 seconds to run.¡±

    ¡°10.¡±

    Everyone froze and Apollo asked coldly, ¡°What are you trying to do?¡±

    ¡°9.¡±

    An apostle¡¯s face changed and he turned into a me and broke out of the window.

    Upon seeing this, the other apostles were slightly surprised and they escaped one by one. Even Apollo turned into a fiery meteorite and escaped.

    There were not fools, Zhao Yao had the power to kill them immediately. Before figuring out his powers, they would not confront Zhao Yao easily.

    Now, Zhao Yao was actually stupid enough to let them leave. Naturally, they would not try to stay behind.

    They flew out thousands of meters and rejoiced.

    ¡°We met with a fool? He really let us go?¡±

    ¡°Inform the organization immediately! Organize an army to take down this fellow!¡±

    ¡°Our phones were taken away. We have to look for the nearest telephone.¡±

    ¡°He will regret what he has done today!¡±

    Arthas saw this and was anxious. ¡°Zhao Yao, what are you doing? It will be over if you let them escape. Do you know how fast they can fly?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Rx, they can¡¯t escape...8...7¡±

    Arthas was even more anxious. ¡°Stop counting! They are about to escape. Hurry up and chase them.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his hand and assured that it was alright. He counted to ten and stood up slowly as Arthas looked at him anxiously.

    Then, his body shed and appeared a few secondster.

    As Zhao Yao appeared, Apollo, Fire Wolf, and all their men were back in the living room. It was as if they had never left as they looked at Zhao Yao in fear.

    All they remember was that there was a sh and Zhao Yao appeared in front of them, then it was a blur. Before they could react, they were back in the living room.

    Zhao Yao chased after them with his Time Freeze and used the Deflective Field to bring them together. He then used Sleep Medusa to turn them back into humans and dragged them back.

    Due to the Time Freeze, his superhuman abilities, and Cheese Cloak, to others it looked like he shed and brought everyone back in an instant.

    Upon seeing this, in Arthas, Coco Wang, Apollo, and his men¡¯s hearts, Zhao Yao became increasingly unpredictable.

    Zhao Yao ate his banana as he looked at everyone. He said slowly, ¡°You guys saw the situation. It is not that I want to be straight forward but all of you humans and catsbined are trash to me. So, stop running, resisting, and wasting everyone¡¯s time. Tell me, where is Volcano?¡±

    Volcano¡¯s apostles looked at each other. Evidently, no one wanted to speak.

    Zhao Yaoughed, ¡°No one is willing to speak?¡± He indicated Arthas toe over with his fingers and Arthas ran over immediately.

    Zhao Yao grabbed onto the Dragon ying Saber and took it off Arthas¡¯s neck.

    He shook the Dragon ying Saber and asked, ¡°I will ask one more time. Where is Volcano?¡±

    Upon seeing that the apostles were unwilling to cooperate, Zhao Yao reached out his hand and the Dragon ying Saber flew towards Apollo.

    Apollo¡¯s expression was cold and looked onto the floor emotionless. It was as if nothing concerned him.

    Zhao Yao controlled the Dragon ying Saber and asked, ¡°You are the leader of the team right? Where is Volcano?¡±

    Apollo¡¯s head was still lowered as he looked onto the ground without a reaction.

    Fire Wolf looked at him in awe. Now, they were no longer in fiery state. They did not know how that guy had turned them back into human form but in this state they were no different from ordinary humans. Any weapon could hurt them.

    ¡°Apollo deserves to be Volcano¡¯s best apostle. He has a will power as strong as a rock. Normal injuries and torture are ineffective against him. This is the real iron man.¡± Fire Wolf sighed in his heart. ¡°Apollo, show him the courage of the Natural Disaster Apostles. Even if his powers are overpowering, he will not have the location of Volcano.¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao used the Dragon ying Saber and stabbed Apollo¡¯s shoulder.

    Looking at the injury, Apollo looked at Zhao Yao in disdain. ¡°That is all you can do?¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled and looked at him grinning.

    Then, Apollo¡¯s face changed. Cold sweat dripped down from his forehead, his body started shivering as his eyes were filled with bulging veins.

    The others looked at Apollo who was shivering on the floor. They did not understand why such a small injury hurt Apollo so much.

    Only Arthas and Coco Wang looked at Apollo in pity. They understood his pain.

    ¡°How? Will you speak?¡± Zhao Yao looked at Apollo and asked, ¡°Tell me where is Volcano.¡±

    He looked at Apollo who refused to speak and held up his thumb. ¡°Good job. What a tough guy.¡±

    Fire Wolf was nodding in his heart and looked at Apollo in awe. ¡°Good job Apollo. Don¡¯t concede defeat towards this Asian.¡±

    When he saw that Zhao Yao was about to stab him with the Dragon ying Saber again, he fell to the floor and spoke quickly. ¡°Volcano is in the Yellowstone Park!!¡±

    Zhao Yao was slightly surprised andughed.

    All the apostles around Apollo were dejected and looked at Apollo with disappointment.

    Sheriff, who was invisible, was thinking, ¡°I already told Zhao Yao the location but he still wants to stab them. What a freak.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the apostle¡¯s head in disappointment. ¡°There is no mission? The Americans are not as friendly as the Japanese.¡±

    Although Apollo and his men did not provide him with a mission, Volcano¡¯s mission came.

    Mission: Capture the cat

    Mission Objective: Go to Yellowstone National Park and capture Volcano

    Reward: 5000 experience points

    Punishment: None

    ¡°Soon.¡± Zhao Yao looked at the panel and thought, ¡°At this rate, when I get hold of all the nine cats. I can probably upgrade to get the first Level 10 cat.¡±

    Looking at Project X in the Extradimensional Belly, Zhao Yao felt that he had to work faster.

    In an underground base at Yellowstone National Park.

    Volcano was in a fireproof room, scrolling his phone in boredom.

    ¡°Aye, why aren¡¯t Apollo and the rest back yet?¡±

    He rolled on the floor and he recalled the three Ragdoll cats he saw in the video and his saliva dropped from his mouth.

    Then, a head popped out from the floor and stared at him in the eye.

    The head that appeared in front of Volcano was Zhao Yao, who was sneaking in with Gaia¡¯s powers.

    When he made eye contact with Volcano, Elizabeth activated her powers and controlled Volcano easily.

    Volcano wanted to shout, move, and activate his powers, but he realized that his body was very stiff. It was as if his body wasn¡¯t his anymore. He was captured easily by Zhao Yao.

    Upon seeing Volcano, Zhao Yao smiled and looked at the 5000*2 experience points he had obtained.

    It was different from the fight with Arthas. The battle with Volcano had ended swiftly.

    After all, although Volcano¡¯s powers were very useful against Arthas, it was not a threat for Zhao Yao. Furthermore, with Apollo and Arthas¡¯s intel, Zhao Yao could ambush Volcano easily.

    He defeated Volcano in one move.

    Volcano was feeling very angry, after all he did not even have the chance to attack.

    ¡°Damn it! Who is this guy?¡±

    If Volcano transformed into mes, he was aplete natural disaster. The temperature of his mes was higher than Apollo and the rest¡¯s. He could vaporise the entire underground base.

    It was because of that, therefore, he did not dare to maintain his fiery state. It would be a great burden for America and everywhere he went would be burnt.

    He stayed in the normal cat form in the base too just in case he would burn the phones,puters and inte cables.

    With Volcano¡¯s destruction powers, if Zhao Yao was hit, he would die too.

    However, Zhao Yao did not give him a chance to showcase his powers.

    Zhao Yao held onto Volcano and descended underground again. He finished walking the entire base.

    Then, as the illusion activated, everyone in the base fell unconscious and was gathered together by Zhao Yao. He handed them to Elizabeth and the rest to eliminate their memories of thest 24 hours.

    The Meteorite Fragment was not on Volcano, with his capabilities, if he continued to grow, he may not be able to control himself. By then, he may be a walking natural disaster and it would be a serious problem.

    So, Volcano wasn¡¯t wearing the Meteorite Fragments for months.

    Zhao Yao looked at Volcano and said, ¡°Where is your Meteorite Fragment?¡±

    Volcano looked at Zhao Yao with hatred and kept his mouth closed.

    Sheriff was listening to Volcano¡¯s mind and telling Zhao Yao the position of the Meteorite Fragment.

    After several minutes, Zhao Yao came to the box with the Meteorite Fragment and watched the Meteorite Fragment diffuse into his palm. He smiled with satisfaction.

    The collection of Meteorite fragments grew to 28%.

    After doing all of this, Zhao Yao held onto Volcano and went back to Arthas¡¯s manor happily. He left behind a bunch of people with their memories and records wiped off.

    In less than a day, Zhao Yao used Arthas and Volcano¡¯s connections and defeated three more supercats.

    Out of the nine Star Cats creators, Zhao Yao had caught five of them and left behind a bunch of people with their memories wiped. The Star Cats did not even know what was going on.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s experience points and Meteorite Fragments collection increased by arge amount.

    BOOK: Level 7 (70077/50000)

    The progress for the collection of meteorite also reached 49% and Zhao Yao had obtained 3 skill points.

    If Zhao Yao was willing, he could upgrade a bunch supercats and use the three skill points to improve his capabilities greatly.

    But he did not do that. Star Cats were not a big threat to him. He wanted to leave the experience points and skill points to deal with Project X.

    Now, Zhao Yao was hugging onto Gaia and headed for another Star Cats base.

    His goal was the supercat Leo. ording to thest supercat¡¯s intel, he sneaked in and popped his head out once in a while to check the directions. Soon, he was at his designation.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s head popped out from the ceiling and saw a cat¡¯s back facing him. The cat was typing on theputer constantly.

    He looked at the stripes on this cat and looked at the photo. Hepared both and thought, ¡°This cat does not look like Leo.¡±

    Zhao Yao eyes shed as he controlled the cat. He turned the cat around and asked, ¡°Hey, you aren¡¯t Leo right? Who are you? Where is Leo?¡±

    The cat looked at Zhao Yao with hatred. ¡°So it was you who caught Volcano and the rest?¡±

    Zhao Yao was rmed. ¡°I have been discovered?¡±

    Although Zhao Yao tried his best to cover up his tracks, for supercats like Arthas and Volcano to be caught, there was no way he could hide it for long. The moment they couldn¡¯t reach them and they searched, they would realize the problem.

    Zhao Yao was lucky for being discovered only after he caught five cats.

    Then, as a series of blue light flickered, many figures appeared in front of Zhao Yao.

    Hundreds and thousands of apostles surrounded Zhao Yao and the room.

    ¡°Mass transfer?¡± Zhao Yao was rmed. He knew that there was a cat in Star Cats that could mass transfer.

    Evidently, after realizing that there were supercats missing, the Star Cats had gathered arge army and were ready for mass transfer to ambush the kidnapper.

    Looking at the continuous shing of blue lights, the increasing number of apostles and the numerous number of guns pointing at him. Zhao Yao rubbed his head and said, ¡°Now I am in trouble.¡±

    ¡°Yes, you are in deep trouble, Zhao Yao.¡±

    Hearing that, Zhao Yao was stunned. They had discovered his identity already?

    A metallic golden hand reached out form the blue light and grabbed Zhao Yao¡¯s head. He said softly. ¡°If you don¡¯t want your head to be squashed by hundreds of tonnes, don¡¯t move.¡±

    Behind Zhao Yao was a shiny silver and golden metallic man. He was holding onto Zhao Yao¡¯s head and talked into the walkie-talkie. ¡°I have caught the intruder. He is under my control.¡±

    ¡°Okay. I will bring him over.¡±

    Feeling the energy from the head, Zhao Yao blinked and stood up gradually.

    The Metal Man behind him became grim and abruptly applied pressure to restrain Zhao Yao once again.

    He discovered that Zhao Yao was like a self-turning star.

    No matter how much force he exerted, he was unable to change the trajectory of Zhao Yao or lift him up.

    ¡°Ah!¡± The Metal Man roared as he mmed both hands on Zhao Yao¡¯s head.

    Normally, he was able to tten a metal globe into a disc. His enormous strength caused an explosion as his hands collided with Zhao Yao¡¯s head and made his hair ruffle noisily.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s head was intact, not even a slight deformation was found. Instead, the Metal Man felt a strong reactive forceing from Zhao Yao¡¯s head that shook his arms violently and he fell back on his butt on the ground.

    He looked in shock as Zhao Yao¡¯s palm grabbed his head as though he was a puppet and lifted him up with ease.

    ¡°Little friend, what did you say?¡± Zhao Yao applied pressure from his palm and crunching sounds were heard as cracks appeared on the Metal Man¡¯s head.

    ¡°Let me go!¡± The Metal Man shouted in panic. He flung his strong hands and legs at Zhao Yao. Hundreds of tons of energynded on Zhao Yao¡¯s, creating loud banging sounds andrge cracks on the ground beneath them. However, Zhao Yao remained intact and did not move an inch.

    His long arms were like invincible beams that were fixed firmly in mid-air, as he grasped the Metal Man¡¯s head tightly.

    ¡°Release him!¡±

    ¡°Release him immediately!¡±

    ¡°Cover your head! Kneel down!¡±

    The surrounding apostles were agitated and aimed their weapons at Zhao Yao, ready to fire and kill him if he failed to cooperate.

    Seeing their attention fixed on him, Zhao Yao said grimly, ¡°Shut up.¡±

    After Zhao Yao activated Sleep Medusa, all the apostles fell to the ground and passed out.

    ...

    In the farawaymand center, a Natural Disaster Representative, Steve, was directing the battle operations.

    He heaved in relief when Zhao Yao was surrounded and captured. ¡°Be careful. Let David and his team take precautions. The enemy is an apostle withplex superpowers. Don¡¯t let him escape.¡±

    The images of the surveince monitor ignited cries of shock in themand center.

    The Metal Man David was defeated with ease and groups of apostles fell to the ground. Zhao Yao walked out casually and melted into the base walls.

    ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± Steve said bewilderedly. ¡°What¡¯s happening to David?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know! Everyone passed out!¡±

    ¡°Revive them immediately!¡±

    No matter how David and his team used the sound wave weapons and the automated firefighting equipment, they were unable to revive the unconscious apostles.

    While they were at a loss, the unconscious apostles finally woke up.

    Steve shouted into the microphone, ¡°David! How¡¯s everyone? What happened? What superpower is that?¡±

    Steve was met with replies of shrill screams. The awakened apostles ran around wildly as if they had seen something terrifying. Nobody paid attention to Steve¡¯s order.

    After eight seconds, the pandemonium stopped and the apostles were dazed. Once they recalled their actions, they felt fearful.

    Steve¡¯s adjutant shouted, ¡°Bad news officer, our target¡¯s missing.¡±

    ¡°Check all surveince monitors!¡± Steve shouted. ¡°Activate the highest base defense level one. We have to find him!¡±

    Zhao Yao activated Time Freeze, Tunneling, Illusion, and Deflective Field Invisibility so they only managed to see Zhao Yao appearing at various parts of the base and were unable to capture him.

    ¡°This is outrageous!¡± Steve said in anger. ¡°Is he having a stroll in the park?¡± He turned to the adjutant and barked, ¡°What about the automated defense system? And the intelligent weapon systems? Those systems cost a hefty 5 billion dors and they promised an advanced and powerful defense system that can¡¯t restrain a single person?¡±

    ¡°No!¡± The adjutant exined. ¡°He possesses Optical Invisibility and Sense-Shielding Invisibility. Our surveince monitors and image recognition system were unable to detect him. Even apostles are unable to determine his presence...¡±

    ¡°His Tunneling superpower bypasses all the base defenses with ease.¡±

    ¡°Disperse the apostles throughout the entire base. I want them to guard every inch of the base!¡± Steve roared. ¡°Once the target¡¯s located, attack immediately. Leave no mercy!¡±

    Warning sirens filled the entire base as numerous apostles ran hurriedly to their stations with anxiety on their faces.

    After searching for half a day, they did not discover Zhao Yao¡¯s trail. When everyone thought he had left, a transparent figure descended from the roof of themand center.

    Zhao Yao looked at the crowd in themand center and asked, ¡°Hey? Where did you hide the supercats?¡±

    Everyone looked up when they heard the voice but they could not see anything. Elizabeth¡¯s power of Illusion deprived them of the ability to see Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao did not wait for the reply and exited through the ceiling, leaving a gaping crowd looking at the ceiling.

    Sheriff, who was in Zhao Yao¡¯s arms, closed his eyes to do mind reading. ¡°Turn right... turn left at a cross junction.¡±

    Steve raged in themand center and shouted, ¡°Insolence! He¡¯s too arrogant! Capture him!¡±

    The adjutant said in surprise, ¡°He found the supercats in the base!¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    Everyone looked at the huge screen showing the surveince video. One by one, the supercats in the safe house disappeared.

    Though the supercats were not the nine pioneer supercats, they were powerful supercats stationed to protect the base. Everyone¡¯s eyes turned red as they witnessed Zhao Yao capture all their supercats.

    Zhao Yao left with the supercats he captured from the base. He sighed and thought, ¡°The pioneer supercats are not here. Such arge base and there is no gold vault or cash. Only a few measly supercats. They are church mice.¡±

    The supercat, who was asked by Zhao Yao if he was a Leo, smiled fawningly and said, ¡°Yes, yes, there are lots of improvements to be made. I¡¯ll make sure they happen if you let me go.¡±

    Zhao Yao pped him on the head and said, ¡°Enough of your nonsense. Bring me to your next base.¡±

    Since he had already dered war on the Star Cats, Zhao Yao had no intention to be merciful. He wanted the fastest and most efficient method to plunder the Star Cats as much as possible for money and experience points.

    Mission: Capture the remaining pioneer Star Cats

    Mission Objective: Capture the remaining pioneer Star Cats

    Reward: Each captured pioneer Star Cat is worth 5000 experience points

    Punishment: None

    ...

    Zhao Yao and the Star Cats were engaged in a full scale war.

    Zhao Yao continued raiding the Star Cats¡¯ bases one at a time while the Star Cats used various superpowers and technology to hamper Zhao Yao and contain him within the United States.

    All the resources of the Star Cats were gradually deployed for the war like a huge cat waking up from a deep slumber.

    The remaining four pioneer Star Cats were under close protection and they relocated frequently away from the front-line of the battle.

    Numerous apostles with superpowers borrowed from the pioneer Star Cats were deployed to the front-line to fight with Zhao Yao.

    Because of the loss of five pioneers, the Star Cats went crazy and granted all apostles the Natural Disaster superpower.

    Large numbers of apostles with the ability to face off an army individually surrounded Zhao Yao to begin a cruel fight to the death.

    Even the American Army joined in to support the Star Cats, hoping to defeat this troublesome intruder.

    The American supernatural realm was rife with small bits of information though the Star Cats had banned all rted news.

    A few superpower organizations, which were heavily oppressed by the Star Cats, started to retaliate.

    ...

    In Beverly Hills at Arthas¡¯ manor.

    Numerous Star Cats¡¯ agents walked in and out of the manor as they investigated the area.

    Since Zhao Yao started fighting with the Star Cats, besides surrounding and pursuing Zhao Yao, the Star Cats also used up vast resources to collect information and determine Zhao Yao¡¯s superpowers.

    As Zhao Yao captured Arthas and stayed in the manor for a period of time, arge number of them came here to investigate.

    A youth looked at the sofa in front of them and pressed it with his hands before lying down.

    ¡°Leader, did the target lie on this sofa?¡± Another agent came over.

    Robert nodded as heid on the sofa and looked at the half-eaten and slightly rotten banana on the table. He put the banana carefully into the evidence bag and said, ¡°Test the banana for his DNA.¡±

    ¡°Yes, leader.¡± The man was concerned and said, ¡°Leader, you haven¡¯t slept for a night. Go home and rest. Leave the rest to me.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m alright. Send the evidence to theb immediately.¡± Seeing his subordinate leave hurriedly, Robert squinted his eyes and thought, ¡°This is a troublesome opponent.¡±

    The exhausted Robertid on the sofa and felt extremely sleepy. When he woke up, he saw arge dance floor illuminated by bright lights. People were dressedvishly and chatting with supercats.

    ¡°This is?!¡±

    ¡°This is my dreamscape.¡± A voice was heard behind Robert¡¯s back.

    Robert turned his head and saw Arthas behind him.

    ¡°Lord Arthas!¡± Robert eximed in joy.

    Arthas did not seem to notice him and said, ¡°This is a message I left in the dreamscape. Observe the events that are shown as they are the crux to saving the world.¡±

    Robert¡¯s dreamscape was Arthas¡¯s dire message.

    Arthas made use of his time in the manor and the Dream Dimension to weave his memories into a dreamscape.

    If anyone were to sleep and dream in the manor, he would see the dreamscape and experience the battle between Arthas and Zhao Yao, obtaining valuable intelligence on Zhao Yao.

    A most morous, violent, and shocking superpower battle was presented before Robert. Various devastating superpowers were shown so that he could understand Zhao Yao¡¯s superpowers.

    When Project X appeared at the manor, an ominous shadow covered the sky. Pandemonium erupted as the Heavens and Earth shook violently.

    Robert was filled with boundless terror. He, the sky, the earth, and the world quaked incessantly.

    ¡°Leader!¡±

    ¡°Leader? Wake up!¡±

    ¡°Bad news!¡±

    Robert opened his eyes and discovered that someone was shaking him. He asked immediately, ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°The supernatural prison was broken into and supercats and apostles escaped. The higher-ups want us to reinforce the prison.¡±

    ¡°Prison?¡± Robert was shocked. ¡°Is it that Chinese man again?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± The subordinate shook his head and said, ¡°Other superpower organizations made use of the opportunity to break into the prison to rescue someone important. As the prison is short of resources and we are in close, they want us to reinforce the prison.¡±

    Robert nodded and said, ¡°I know, let¡¯s go.¡±

    As Robert was leaving the manor, he rubbed his head and thought, ¡°The dream just now...¡±

    After waking up, the experience in the dreamscape became hazy. When he frowned and recall the dreamscape, he could still remember the contents of the dream.

    He pondered if the dreamscape was real.

    ¡°Real? Or fantasy?¡±

    ¡°Let mepare current intelligence on Zhao Yao with the dreamscape¡¯s information.¡±

    Within a short while, Robert and his team arrived at the smoking prison, where numerous gunshots and explosions were heard. Everyone became grim.

    The prison warden received them at the entrance.

    ¡°Make haste!¡±

    ¡°Apostles withbat superpowers are here.¡±

    ¡°They are members of the Divine Fire Pce! They have broken into the field area.

    ¡°We mustn¡¯t let them escape.¡±

    12 storeys underground, in a secret prison cell of the supernatural prison.

    A line of people d in ckbat uniforms held rifles in their hands as they charged deep into the corridor.

    A bearded man leading the group asked, ¡°How far in are we? The Star Cats¡¯ reinforcements will arrive at anytime, we have at most one minute left. We have to leave immediately!¡±

    Behind him, a young man replied, ¡°We¡¯re almost there! We can¡¯t retreat now. The number of apostles in Star Cats are at a critical point now. This is our best chance.¡±

    As they said that, the line of people had already run to the end of the corridor and stopped in front of a huge steel door.

    The huge steel door looked just like a bank vault. It was impossible to break open with normal methods.

    ¡°Let me do it!¡± A muscr man rushed forward and pressed his palms on the huge steel door. Vibration radiated out as he activated his ability.

    The whole steel door, walls, and the floor around started to vibrate at an rming rate with increasing speed.

    A deep booming sound was heard as the huge steel door slowly copsed.

    A huge, stark white prison cell appeared in front of them. In the centre of the cell was a bowl of cat litter. A fat, orange Munchkin cat was sitting in the cat litter pit. A book titled ¡°On Protracted War¡± was ced before him.

    When he heard the door copse, the orange Munchkin cat looked up. He was confused when he saw the people at the entrance.

    The bearded man swallowed hard as he stared at the orange Munchkin cat. Seeing the gentle appearance of the cat, the man asked hesitantly, ¡°It¡¯s him? He looks pretty normal.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s him ¨C Doomsday,¡± The young man said. ¡°The first pioneer of the Star Cats, an extremely evil supercat. While he was in power in Star Cats, hemitted a total of 202 severe crimes. He is the most evil of all evil cats, a cat that could never be tamed.

    To form an alliance with the American government, the Star Cats secretly locked him up in this ce as he was the opposition representative. They subsequently released news that he died from sickness.¡±

    As they said that, they stared at Doomsday, who was in the cat toilet. They scrutinised his every move closely as they advanced towards him carefully, step by step.

    Doomsday meowed, pointing to the cat toilet as he said, ¡°Hey, I say aren¡¯t you guys a little too much? This cat toilet of mine hasn¡¯t been cleaned for five days. It¡¯s bing a fossil pit. You can¡¯t treat me like this even if I¡¯m in jail.¡±

    The line of people exchanged nces. They obviously did not understand catnguage. In fact, they did not care about understanding catnguage either. As they closed in bit by bit on Doomsday, who continued meowing, the bearded man said, ¡°Doomsday right? We are here to save you. The Star Cats want to keep you locked up here forever. Come with us and you will get the freedom and power you deserve.¡±

    However the next moment, horrified screams burst out and reverberated throughout the prison cell. The bone-chilling screams echoed relentlessly with horror and hopelessness, making the hairs on their bodies stand on its ends.

    The leading young man fell to the floor, watching hisrades in fright and horror. He turned to Doomsday, who was walking towards him. A strong stench of urine emanated from his pants.

    Doomsday licked his paw and frowned as he stared at the young man who had wet his pants. He meowed, ¡°Who are you? How did you get in here?¡± However, he realized that the man did not understand what he had said so he used his w to write on the man¡¯s body.

    The young man immediately replied in all honesty, ¡°We... we are from the Divine Fire Pce...¡±

    When he heard what the young man said, Doomsday¡¯s pupils constricted into slits threateningly as he said, ¡°What nonsense is that? People from the Divine Fire Pce can actually fight their way into our country?¡±

    The young man went on to exin the current situation in the country. Doomsday kept shaking his head as he listened. ¡°What the hell is going on? He¡¯s really living for nothing. He can¡¯t even deal with a foreign apostle. What a waste of meteorite fragments.¡±

    He never expected that while he was locked up in prison, the world outside actually went through such drastic changes. The Star Cats, which had control of the meteorite fragments, were actually being bullied by other supernatural groups.

    At that moment, sounds of footsteps approached them. Doomsday stared at the entrance to the prison cell. The reinforcements from the Star Cats had caught up.

    Seeing the broken door, fallen apostles and Doomsday, the reinforcement unit became anxious.

    ¡°They managed to break through the door of the prison cell.¡±

    ¡°Who¡¯s that supercat in the prison cell? What is his ability?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know. It¡¯s all top secret. We are trying to apply for greater jurisdiction.¡±

    Behind the reinforcement unit, Robert, who had been in the dream in the Beverly Hills manor, was confused by Doomsday well. They obviously did not know about this secret prison cell 12 storeys underground and certainly did not know that a supercat like Doomsday was locked up in there.

    In a few moments, ear-splitting screams and cries of agony filled the room. As each apostle copsed on the ground, Doomsday slowly walked up to Robert.

    Robert stared at the supercat in front of him, slightly afraid. He watched as the supercat took out a phone from one of the apostles and typed, ¡°You¡¯re not afraid of me?¡±

    Robert tried to calm himself down as much as he can but staring at hisrades who were in agony or passed out from it, he could not help darting his eyes around, revealing the panic he felt. The sight of hisrades suffering was too horrifying.

    ¡°How can such an unexinable superpower exist...¡±

    Doomsday stared at Robert as he typed, ¡°Tell me about the situation outside right now.¡±

    Although the apostle from the Divine Fire Pce had already told Doomsday about the situation outside, given his rich experience in the supercat realm, Doomsday naturally did not just believe the words of one person.

    Robert began to exin some of the intel he had regarding the outside world. He tried to slow down as much as he can to drag time out for more reinforcements to arrive.

    However, Doomsday could see through Robert¡¯s motives at once. With a thought of his mind, he activated his power. Invisible waves rippled through Robert¡¯s body, making him kneel down slowly as he clutched his stomach.

    Doomsday said with his phone, ¡°Don¡¯t y with me. Use the simplest, fastest way to tell me about the situation in Star Cats now and I will retract my powers. If you slow down even by a little, you will be about to give birth.¡±

    Robert stared as he became bigger and bigger. His stomach was visibly expanding. When he heard Doomsday¡¯s words, he immediately panicked.

    ¡°I¡¯m... I¡¯m pregnant?!¡±

    ¡°This is ridiculous!¡±

    He saw his stomach ballooning and his bone structure starting to change. His muscles started to rip apart at the sudden appearance and rapidly growing fetus in his abdomen. His internal organs are increasinglying under pressure as waves of pain shot through his nerves.

    ¡°I must quickly say it...¡±

    His ballooning stomach made him totally unable toe up with lies or drag out time. He just spilled out all the information he knew in the fastest way he could. When he saw that his stomach stopped expanding, he slightly let out his breath.

    Doomsday licked his paw and thought, ¡°So it¡¯s true? Judging from the situation now, I can¡¯t continue staying here and wasting my cat life away.¡±

    At this moment, Robert was drenched in sweat all over. His bone structure had changed and his muscles ripped. When he suddenly rxed, he cked out and fell unconscious.

    As he became unconscious, the dream in the manor appeared in his mind again.

    Doomsday nced at Robert who had passed out before he raised his leg and started to walk off. He had no intention of staying there anymore.

    However, just as he walked past Robert¡¯s body, he saw huge amounts of anesthetic gas spurting out from every part of the corridor. Doomsday stumbled and walked another two steps before he copsed drowsily beside Robert.

    The next moment, the grand manor appeared before his eyes. The grand ball, Arthas, and... Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Where... am I?¡±

    ...

    At the same time, in the physical world, apostles wearing gas masks from the Star Cats rushed in and carried away the unconscious Doomsday, Robert and the other apostles.

    Just as Robert and Doomsday were separated, a wisp of air invisible to the apostles at the scene slowly transferred from Robert to Doomsday.

    This was the mental energy that Arthas left in the manor. It left behind a sliver of connection with the Dream Dimension. It was precisely because of this thing that Robert was able to keep dreaming of the huge battle scene in the manor.

    At this moment, because Doomsday had a stronger mental strength and a supercat body, the sliver of mental energy actively transferred into his body. This brought the connection with the Dream Dimension into Doomsday¡¯s body as well.

    However, the Star Cats were totally unaware of this, and quickly transferred the unconscious Doomsday into another secret prison cell.

    ...

    In the dreamscape, amidst the supernatural battle in the ruins of the manor.

    Doomsday¡¯s heart pumped in excitement as he watched Zhao Yao and Arthas battle,

    Seeing Zhao Yao fly up to the sky and battling with Arthas, Doomsday eximed, ¡°What an amazing superpower. This guy is really something.¡±

    However, this was only the first time.

    After the second, third... tenth time, Doomsday was tired and annoyed of it.

    He slumped on the grass and stared at Zhao Yao in the sky as he rolled his eyes, ¡°Arthas, quick look, this guy is flying again.¡±

    Doomsday muttered unexcitedly as he watched Zhao Yao¡¯s movements in the air, ¡°Left... right.. left... left... punch... retreat...¡±

    Zhao Yao was like a puppet, matching the words of Doomsday with his movements precisely. This was because Doomsday had watched the battle scene so many times he had already memorized it in his head.

    Arthas shouted, ¡°Ah! I am going to stab you till you die!¡±

    ¡°Who¡¯s afraid of you!¡± Zhao Yao answered, ¡°I am going to stab you till you break down! Whoever who backs out will be a dog! Ah!¡±

    When he saw the man and cat stabbing each other repeatedly with the Dragon ying Saber, Doomsday squatted beside them and stared at the small golden Dragon ying Saber with overflowing curiosity. ¡°It¡¯s such a small knife. Why do they look like they are dying from agony from such a small stab?¡±

    ¡°I really feel like trying it.¡± He stretched his paw and touched the Dragon ying Saber. However, it did not move at all as he was unable to take it.

    Doomsday had been trying to do that for many times. He was totally unable to exert any influence in this dreamscape or interfere with any part of it.

    ¡°I can¡¯t go on like this.¡±

    ¡°This Arthas. Last time he could only hypnotize and break a spoon or something. Now he could even nt a dream in my head?¡±

    After thinking about it, Doomsday started to walk towards the border of the dreamscape. He did not want to continue watching the scene repeat itself any longer.

    Looking at the hazy appearance at the border, Doomsday tried stretching his paw out to see what would happen.

    ¡°Eh? Looks like nothing¡¯s happening?¡±

    After retracting his paw, Doomsday stared at his tender soft paw pads and sighed. ¡°My paw pads seem to have be rougher recently. Looks like I need to put more moisturizer on it.¡±

    He turned and stared at the hazy border. Doomsday stretched out more paws. Just as he thought it would be totally fine, his whole body was pulled out by an enormous force, disappearing in this dreamscape.

    ¡°Ah!¡± Doomsday only saw a motley of colours and all sorts of things he had never seen before shed past him like shooting stars.

    The dreamscape just now was created using Arthas¡¯ own mental strength. It was the remaining sliver of connection with the Dream Dimension.

    The dreamscape was set in the Dream Dimension using Arthas¡¯ mental powers.

    However, Arthas created the dreamscape hastily. Hence it was neither secure nor stable.

    Doomsday identally crossed the border of the dreamscape, directly letting his thoughts and consciousness enter the Dream Dimension.

    Barging into the Dream Dimension without Arthas¡¯ mental strength was extremely dangerous.

    In this dimension, in a state of pure consciousness, Doomsday was totally unable to adjust to the sudden change. His mind was breaking down at ultra speed.

    In the physical world, Doomsday forced his eyes open in the prison cell. His pupils started ckening in gaze and even his organs and brain started to deteriorate.

    However, when his life was hanging by a thread, Doomsday¡¯s stomach started to expand. It expanded like balloon being blown at amazing speed. Soon after, his body convulsed before a small cat popped out from his butt and started meowing.

    The small cat he had just given birth to was unlike his current state. The small cat¡¯s fur was intact and could even open his eyes. It was as if the small cat had received astounding growth in his stomach.

    There was lingering fear in the small cat as he said, ¡°That scared me to death. I thought I was really going to die.¡± He turned and stared at the big cat corpse that had turned cold and shook his head. ¡°Luckily I trained this skill of self-rebirth during the time when I was locked up, or else I would have really been dead.¡±

    The next moment, the small cat suddenly felt a strong wave of sleepiness crash upon him, possibly because of his small cat body. He tried as hard as he could to keep his eyes open, but his body could not help but sway as his lids felt the weight of the mountains upon them.

    ¡°Don¡¯t sleep...¡±

    ¡°Please don¡¯t sleep...¡±

    Sleep...¡±

    He opened his mouth and yawned widely before his eyes flickered shut and he fell asleep.

    As he fell asleep, his small cat body started to dissipate before it vanishedpletely, leaving only the original big cat body in the prison cell.

    ...

    ¡°What? Doomsday is dead?¡±

    Steven spoke to the other party in the video call, ¡°Yes, when we found him, he had already turned into a corpse.¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s actually dead.¡± On the other end of the video call, the silhouettes of four cats began conversing privately.

    Steven tried asking again, ¡°What ability does this supercat Doomsday have? Why did you guys lock him up?¡±

    The cat silhouette in the middle replied, ¡°He has a wild ambition to overturn all of society and he has the ability to actually do it.¡±

    The cat silhouette on the right wagged his tail and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, Anthony. Doomsday is dead anyway. It¡¯s okay to reveal his power.¡±

    ¡°This guy has the ability to forcibly give birth. As long as it¡¯s within the range of his powers, he would be able to control any living thing to forcibly give birth. He could even freely control the birth process, time and speed, etc.¡±

    ¡°Can you imagine how much chaos and negative impact such an ability would bring?¡±

    Hearing this answer, Steven was evidently shocked.

    ¡°There¡¯s actually such a power?¡± He cheered in his heart, ¡°Thankfully he¡¯s dead. Such an ability like his is too evil.¡±

    United States, in a restaurant by a desert highway.

    The opening of door was heard and Zhao Yao walked in as a few truckers, who were having their meals, nced at him before returning to their conversations.

    Zhao Yao picked a convenient spot and sat down. He stretched extensively and his bones cracked.

    Zhao Yao ordered a full spread for his table, inviting curious stares from the waitresses.

    Zhao Yao was indifferent as he activated his power of illusion so that he could let out his supercats. ¡°Eat quickly, then we sleep. It¡¯s tiring to workte nights.¡±

    They had been battling the Star Cats and the American Army days and nights so Zhao Yao was fatigued.

    Ares, Elizabeth, Dust Ball climbed onto the dining table and started feasting.

    ¡°Zhao Yao! How long are we searching?¡± Dust Ballined. ¡°Those four supercats are like earth rodents. They are well hidden and we can¡¯t find them!¡±

    Elizabeth stuck out her tongue and shoved her mouth into the water bowl. She was feeling hot and thirsty as she said, ¡°Ragdoll cats are domestic cats. They are not suited to be in the wild for too long.¡±

    Zhao Yao put arge piece of beef steak into his mouth and chewed as he spoke, ¡°Enoughining. If we don¡¯t capture the remaining four Star Cats and retrieve their Meteorite Fragments, we¡¯re not going back.¡±

    Arthas shuddered and his mind ran wild with scenes of Zhao Yao¡¯swless deeds.

    ...

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Arthas, clean the floor.¡±

    Elizabeth said, ¡°What are you doing Arthas? Didn¡¯t I tell you to wash the clothes?¡±

    Ares said, ¡°Why is dinner not done? Your sickness is none of my business.¡±

    Fish Ball said, ¡°Zhao Yao! Let¡¯s go, we¡¯re going to a ball. Arthas, Stop looking at me. Stay at home to do housework. You¡¯re not invited to the ball.¡±

    The pitiful kitten sat on the ground and washed clothes in a wash basin, his face full of sorrow.

    ...

    Arthas was disheartened. ¡°They are horrible people. If I stay captured like this, I¡¯ll be a ve of Zhao Yao for a long time!¡±

    Volcano said hopelessly, ¡°Doomed! We¡¯re doomed! We¡¯ll be ves and the United States will be finished as all the cats would be ruled by Zhao Yao.¡±

    Another captured pioneer Star Cat, Poseidon, said, ¡°Don¡¯t be discouraged. Star Cats and the government are trying their best to rescue us. They have Divination superpower so Zhao Yao is unable to escape.¡±

    Fish Ball gaped and patted Ares¡¯ shoulders and said, ¡°Ares! Take a look!¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s there to see?¡± Ares held a sausage in his mouth and looked in the direction pointed by Fish Ball. A middle-aged man, who was sleeping in the truck, had his stomach expanding like a balloon. Very soon, he looked like a few months pregnant woman.

    ¡°S*it!¡± Ares inhaled deeply and said, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±

    ¡°Superpower attack! Must be superpower attack!¡± Fish Ball shouted and attracted Zhao Yao¡¯s attention.

    The Deflective Field shook and gathered all the supercats. Zhao Yao walked briskly towards the door.

    His nose sniffed the air for scents and his ears listened to sounds within thousands of meters. His super sensitive senses scanned the surroundings incessantly but did not find anything strange.

    ¡°Fish Ball, what happened? What¡¯s the superpower attack that you were yelling about?¡±

    Fish Ball shouted, ¡°Look at that man! His stomach expanded rapidly and it¡¯s bigger than a balloon!¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned and thought Fish Ball was spouting nonsense when his expression froze.

    He could hear with rity the sounds in his stomach.

    ¡°Heartbeats?¡± Zhao Yao looked astonished at the man. ¡°Male pregnancy? Voluntary insemination? Are Americans so liberal??¡±

    Zhao Yao did not detect any superpower attack and the Star Cats had not caught up with them. He had almost finished his meal so he left the restaurant with the supercats and leaped over a distance of a few thousand meters.

    Zhao Yao found a hidden valley to rest.

    ¡°Battling powerful forces like the Star Cats, I have to rest properly.¡± Zhao Yao thought. ¡°If I don¡¯t replenish my energy and I¡¯m pitting against so many of them, I¡¯ll be disadvantaged.¡±

    Zhao Yao arrived at the bottom of the valley. He gave a few punches and made a small cave.

    He picked up a rock and sealed it with his power of illusion. He ced Arthas and the captured cats within range of the sealed rock, depriving them of their five senses.

    ¡°Okay, everyone¡¯s tired, have a good night¡¯s sleep. There¡¯s more work to be done after resting.¡±

    Zhao Yao grabbed Elizabeth and put her into his arms before snoring loudly.

    Ares yawned, walked to Zhao Yao¡¯s head and slept peacefully.

    Dust Ball stretched her limbs andid on Zhao Yao¡¯s chest, snoring noisily.

    Elizabeth was grabbed by Zhao Yao¡¯s hand and she held off his palm in disgust. She didn¡¯tst for minutes as her eyelids closed and she ttened like a carpet, slipping into a deep sleep.

    The supercats surrounded Zhao Yao and they fell into deep slumber.

    ...

    ¡°Hahahaha, I am ordinary in other areas except for my extraordinary looks.¡± Zhao Yao sat on the sofa, apanied by beautiful women by his sides, as they drank and chatted happily.

    Matcha wore his spectacles and walked to the front of the sofa. Looking at Zhao Yao, he said, ¡°Boss, the supercat college was listed on the American stock market. Do you want to strike the bell?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not going.¡± Zhao Yao hugged the women as he said, ¡°Matcha, you had been managing my business and have matured considerably. I¡¯m handing over thepany to you.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry boss.¡± Matcha said with confidence and maturity as he adjusted his spectacles and said, ¡°We have set up 12 branches of our college and more than 3 000 tuition centers around the world. Our teaching methodology and teaching staff are the best and our profits will increase daily.¡±

    ¡°I am depending on you, Matcha.¡±

    The main door opened, Roly Poly and Milk Tea walked in.

    ¡°Master Yao.¡± Milk Tea said, ¡°I have graduated from Harvard Business faculty. It¡¯s time I contribute to thepany. I will work for you forever.¡±

    Roly Poly smiled merrily and said, ¡°Boss, good news! Thend that I bought is confirmed for building the mass transit. We¡¯re earning at least tens of billions this time.¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed happily and said, ¡°Everyone¡¯s bing dependable and mature.¡±

    Suddenly, a Munchkin cat with wings flew in, his mouth holding a basket.

    Zhao Yao frowned and said puzzled, ¡°Is this cat mine?¡±

    The cat flew to Zhao Yao¡¯s front and ced the basket down. He smiled and said, ¡°Congrattions, congrattions!¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s there to congratte?¡± Zhao Yao went to the basket and saw a baby sleeping soundly.

    In the real world, Zhao Yao opened his eyes as he became grim, gritting his teeth and growled, ¡°D*mn...¡±

    After waking up, Zhao Yao touched his rising stomach. With his superior insight and perception, he felt something extra in his stomach.

    A small mound of skin and bones grew in his stomach, absorbing the nutrients in his body.

    ¡°I¡¯m...¡± Zhao Yao gritted his teeth and thought, ¡°Pregnant?¡±

    He recalled the supercat that delivered his child in the dream.

    ¡°Superpower attack? Pregnant in sleep? Fine... fine... fine.¡± Zhao Yao was filled with murderous intent. ¡°You are vicious, Americans. Star Cats... Since you started it first, I¡¯ll retaliate. I don¡¯t actually want to do this but you are forcing me.¡±

    ...

    As Zhao Yao awoke, the rest of the supercats fell into different dreamscapes.

    Ares sat on the ground, looking at Sphynx cat¡¯s tombstone as he said, ¡°Sphynx cat, how are you faring in the underworld? We¡¯re doing pretty well here.¡±

    Ares grabbed a bunch of catmint and scattered it on the tomb.

    ¡°Sphynx cat, have more catmint. I heard the catmint in the underworld wasn¡¯t grown in the sun so the taste isn¡¯t as good as Dust Ball¡¯s.¡±

    After scattering the catmint, Ares lit up his lighter and burned joss paper as he said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about money when you reach the underworld. We¡¯ll burn a lot of money for you. Don¡¯t you train everyday like before. Help us figure out the underworld so that you can take care of us when we join you...¡±

    Ares sighed and his back felt warm. He smiled and said, ¡°Stop fooling around Diana, I¡¯m burning money for Sphynx cat.¡±

    Feeling the cat behind licking his head, Ares smiled and said, ¡°Sphynx cat, don¡¯t you worry. We are happy. Diana is pregnant. When she gives birth, I¡¯ll bring our child to see you.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± A voice was hearding from his back and he shuddered.

    ¡°Sphynx... Sphynx cat?¡± Ares turned his head and saw the transparent Sphynx cat hugging him and licking his head.

    ¡°Ares! Let¡¯s get married in the underworld!¡±

    ¡°Ah!!!¡±

    As Ares screamed, a Munchkin cat flew in, his mouth holding a basket that contained a miniature Ares.

    ¡°Congrattions, may you have a child soon.¡±

    ...

    Elizabethid impatiently in the cat dwelling as a group of cats bickered in front of her.

    Matcha said, ¡°Elizabeth is mine! Get lost all of you!¡±

    Roly Poly said, ¡°Lizzie and I were already engaged. On what grounds do you have to separate us?¡±

    Ares said, ¡°We are a perfect match. You ugly cats have no reason to object!¡±

    ¡°Get lost silly tomcats,¡± Dust Ball roared. ¡°Elizabeth likes female cats!¡±

    Seeing the cats fighting over her, Elizabeth sighed helplessly and said, ¡°Don¡¯t quarrel over me. I¡¯ll feel guilty.¡± A knock at the door was heard. ¡°Is Elizabeth in? This is your parcel delivery.¡±

    Elizabeth opened the door and Fish Ball was the delivery cat.

    Elizabeth looked curiously at her parcel and said, ¡°Since when did I order a parcel delivery?¡±

    ¡°The sender is... for world peace?¡±

    Elizabeth signed for the delivery and opened the package. She was astonished to find a miniature Elizabeth in the package.

    ...

    In the material world, Ares woke up in cold sweat and heaved in relief when he recognized his surroundings.

    Fish Ball pointed at him andughed. ¡°Ares, you ate too much! Why is your stomach so big?¡±

    Ares scoffed at Fish Ball and said, ¡°The pot¡¯s calling the kettle ck. Your stomach isrger than a swine¡¯s.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Fish Ball could not believe his eyes when he saw his stomach. ¡°How did it happen? My perfect stomach muscles are gone. Why did I be fat?¡±

    Elizabeth licked her big stomach grimly and thought, ¡°I¡¯m fortunate that my long fur¡¯s covering my big stomach. When I return to China, I have to diet.¡±

    Dust Ball said angrily, ¡°You¡¯re all idiots. Look at your stomachs! This isn¡¯t putting on weight. It¡¯s a superpower attack!¡±

    ¡°I had a dream.¡± Lucifer blushed as he said, ¡°I can¡¯t remember the beginning but an orange cat gave me a kitten.¡±

    Fish Ball said, ¡°I had a dream too! Lily (Cat King of the South) recovered her intelligence and told me she¡¯s pregnant, then she delivered a kitten.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s ear quivered and knew about the condition of his supercats. He said gravely, ¡°This isn¡¯t the normal putting on of weight. You¡¯re all pregnant.¡±

    ¡°Oh gosh!¡± Fish Ball rolled his eyes and fainted.

    Ares sat down dejectedly while Lucifer gaped with flushed cheeks and sighed as he said, ¡°I¡¯m pregnant? I heard giving birth is the most painful thing in the world. Oh God! It¡¯s going to be painful!¡±

    Mango looked at his big stomach, squatted down abruptly, straightened his tail and pooed.

    All the cats panicked and Zhao Yao grabbed Mango as he shouted, ¡°Mango, stop it! It¡¯s not constipation!¡± Holding Mango down, Zhao Yao patted him to calm him down.

    Rice Cake started wailing. ¡°Wah! I don¡¯t want to be pregnant! I don¡¯t want to have a kitten! Meow-ow!!!!¡±

    Cheese licked Rice Cake to console her and his eyes flickered as he thought, ¡°Rice Cake¡¯s child? The child¡¯s going to call me uncle even though there¡¯s no dad... Rice Cake doesn¡¯t need to get married... I¡¯m starting to like this.¡±

    ¡°... Everyone became pregnant after having a dream.¡± Elizabeth gritted her teeth as she red at Arthas. ¡°D*mn, I¡¯m still a virgin! I¡¯m pregnant without getting married? Am I going to deliver the child?¡±

    All the cats followed Elizabeth¡¯s gaze and looked at Arthas.

    Arthas was lying on the ground snoring as he was under the effect of the sealed illusion.

    ...

    In the manor, Arthasy on the bed and ate the cat meal sent by the maid. He looked very rxed.

    ¡°Hmm, this feeling.¡± Lying on the bed with his paws facing the sky and tossing his belly, Arthas thought, ¡°Am I dreaming?¡±

    Arthas, who used his willpower to control dreamscapes, was able to determine whether he was dreaming or not.

    ¡°I¡¯m able to breathe easier now. Staying with Zhao Yao everyday, I¡¯m almost having depression.¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t this my dream...¡±

    Arthas smiled and pped his paw as Zhao Yao appeared before him and knelt down.

    ¡°Who let you stand, kneel down!¡±

    Zhao Yao knelt on the ground trembling.

    ¡°Despicable snob, do you realize how arrogant you are?¡± Arthas mmed his paw down and scolded, ¡°A mere human like you dares to show insolence. Do you know how great my contribution to the Dream Dimension is?¡±

    As Arthas was scolding Zhao Yao heartily, a Munchkin cat flew in.

    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s Arthas! Congrattions, it¡¯s good news.¡±

    ¡°Doomsday?¡± Arthas frowned. ¡°How did I dream of him?¡±

    The Munchkin cat, Doomsday, held a basket in his mouth andnded in front of Arthas as he said merrily, ¡°Excellent Arthas, I¡¯m surprised to see you. I¡¯m giving you a kitten. I hope you understand my intention.¡±

    Arthas was puzzled and said, ¡°What nonsense is that?¡± He peered into the basket and found a kitten that looked exactly like him.

    Doomsday said, ¡°Isn¡¯t he adorable?¡±

    ¡°What nonsense! It¡¯s very creepy.¡±

    Doomsday said, ¡°You don¡¯t understand. Once you give birth to the kitten, you¡¯ll know and love him.¡±

    Arthas frowned. ¡°Are you alright? Forget it, make yourself scarce. I don¡¯t want such creepy stuff in my dreams.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Doomsday smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m feeling excellent!¡±

    Arthas be sombre and activated his willpower to distort his subconscious and change the dreamscape. ¡°Get lost!¡±

    Doomsday paused and flew towards the outer edge of the dreamscape.

    ¡°Farewell Arthas, enjoy the surprise I have for you. You¡¯ll me me in the beginning but after a few years, you¡¯ll understand my good intentions.¡±

    ¡°What a bum! Is that for real?¡± Arthas looked in astonishment as Doomsday left the outer edge of the dreamscape. ¡°He¡¯s able to travel in Dream Dimension? Is this a joke?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the surprise that he¡¯s talking about?¡±

    The manor, the sky, the earth, and the dreamscape quaked violently. The copsing sky and earth indicated to Arthas that he was waking up.

    Arthas woke up and saw murderous gazes fixed on him.

    ¡°Zhao Yao? Why is he looking at me?¡± Arthas looked at the surrounding cats and noticed their angry stares as if they bore grudges against him.

    ¡°Why are all of you looking at me? I am ufortable.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Arthas¡¯ head and his expanding stomach and said grimly, ¡°If your stomach was not expanding, you would have died.¡±

    Arthas was stunned and looked at his stomach. He gave a shrill scream. ¡°What the heck! I¡¯m pregnant? Doomsday! It¡¯s Doomsday!¡±

    Volcano, Poseidon, and the other Star Cats woke up after Zhao Yao deactivated his power of illusion. They eximed in shock.

    ¡°Doomsday!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s Doomsday!¡±

    ¡°The Star Cats released him?¡±

    Zhao Yao sneered and Arthas, Volcano and the Star Cats shuddered and kept quiet.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°What¡¯s going on? What do you know about this Pregnancy superpower?¡±

    Arthas swallowed his saliva and said, ¡°This is Doomsday¡¯s superpower. He¡¯s able to make people within a range of a hundred meters pregnant and force them to give birth to their clones.

    Zhao Yao shook his ears and frowned. ¡°There are no other living things within a range of a hundred meters, unless he¡¯s hidden.¡±

    They used Deflective Field, Illusion, and other superpowers to sweep the area but were unable to find traces of Doomsday.

    Zhao Yao looked at Arthas and said, ¡°Tell me detailed information about Doomsday.¡±

    Arthas said carefully, ¡°Doomsday...¡±

    Doomsday was the actual creator of the Star Cats and he gave birth to the first batch of pioneer Star Cats.

    With the Pregnancy superpower, he created a lot of followers and attracted other supercats to join him. Like a snowball effect, he gathered more and more supercatpanions.

    The government was wary of Doomsday¡¯s indiscriminate use of superpowers and the increasing number of the supercats under him.

    The supercats who were impregnated hated Doomsday as not all kittens had superpowers. Moreover, each pregnancy was a huge burden on both physical and mental states of the supercats.

    Even Doomsday was corrupted by the temptation of absolute power and control and his principles strayed from his Star Catpanions.

    Hence, the Star Cats and the American government coborated and captured Doomsday, locking him in a secret prison.

    Because of Doomsday¡¯s special and valuable superpower and a portion of the Star Cats being his close friends, they did not kill him.

    Arthas said, ¡°The Star Cats couldn¡¯t withstand your attacks so they released Doomsday to deal with you!¡±

    ¡°The most important question is,¡± Zhao Yao caressed his stomach and said, ¡°Is he able to reverse his superpower?¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± Arthas said firmly. ¡°Once Doomsday reverses the superpower, our bodies will return to normal.¡±

    ¡°Very good.¡± Zhao Yao nodded and touched his chin as he said, ¡°Within a hundred meters, forced impregnation and giving birth? Are you certain?¡±

    Arthas, Volcano, Poseidon, and other pioneer Star Cats immediately shouted, ¡°Certain! We are certain!¡±

    Zhao Yao was puzzled. ¡°There¡¯s no trace of Doomsday within a range of a hundred meters. Why didn¡¯t he force us to give birth after impregnation? If he did that, we¡¯d lose all ourbat power.¡±

    ¡°We had dreams in which Doomsday delivered the children. This isn¡¯t a coincidence.¡±

    Zhao Yao continued to analyze, ¡°Perhaps Doomsday¡¯s superpower has evolved? Or he¡¯s able to attack other people using dreams?¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head and thought, ¡°Isn¡¯t it too unrealistic? Besides my BOOK, I haven¡¯t encountered a supercat¡¯s superpower that can evolve this much.¡±

    Arthas listened to Zhao Yao¡¯s analysis and was dumbstruck as he recalled the dreamscape intelligence he left at the manor.

    He was worried. ¡°Perhaps the remaining Star Cats let Doomsday get in touch with the mental energy that was directly connected to the Dream Dimension?¡±

    Arthas be more convinced of this the more he thought. He looked at everyone and started dripping cold sweat profusely.

    ¡°I mustn¡¯t let them know about this. I¡¯ll bring this secret to my grave!!¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao!¡± The pregnant Sheriff leaned in Zhao Yao¡¯s ear and said softly, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, It¡¯s caused by Arthas.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Zhao Yao turned to gaze at Arthas, who turned away guiltily. Zhao Yao activated the Deflective Field and forced his head back.

    ¡°Are you involved in this matter?¡±

    Arthas was so scared that his knees became weak and he fell to the ground and eximed, ¡°Sorry! I don¡¯t know why things turned out this way! It wasn¡¯t intentional!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s anger filled both his eyes as he demanded, ¡°Tell me what actually happened.¡±

    Arthas confessed how he left intelligence at the manor. Zhao Yao was so infuriated that his eyelids pulsated. ¡°Are you saying that the dreamscape that you had left behind at the manor is causing Doomsday to evolve? That he¡¯s able to travel in the Dream Dimension and use his superpower to attack?¡±

    ¡°Yes... it¡¯s possible.¡±

    A gentle pricking sound was heard and Arthas was stabbed by the Dragon ying Saber. He fell to the ground and the surrounding supercats surged towards him and started punching and kicking him.

    ¡°You made me pregnant?¡± Fish Ball charged in front and stamped on Arthas¡¯s face. ¡°I¡¯ll feed you poo!¡±

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°If Doomsday possesses the ability to travel in dreams, it¡¯s pointless to fight him in the dreamscape. I have to find his physical body.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s ears quivered and he sneered, ¡°They¡¯ve arrived? It¡¯s good timing.¡± ¡±

    He stepped forward and appeared out of the valley. Then he leaped with force and shot into the sky with a bang.

    ...

    A few thousand meters away at Gobi desert, numerous off-road jeeps swept up a mighty dust cloud as they drove towards Zhao Yao.

    The leading apostle spoke into the microphone, ¡°Attention all units, the enemy possesses strong sensing ability. We¡¯ll disembark and approach the target on foot. Remember not to make loud noises that will alert our target.¡±

    ¡°Captain, I heard our target¡¯s fleeing from our pursuit. We don¡¯t have to be so cautious.¡±

    ¡°Yes, why don¡¯t we go forward at full speed so that he will not escape.¡±

    In the previous battles, besides direct confrontations in the bases, Zhao Yao would not engage when he was being caught up as he could not be bothered with pointless fighting. He merely used his power of illusion, Deflective Field and his strong constitution to avoid these skirmishes.

    News of the capture of the five pioneer Star Cats by Zhao Yao was kept quiet so that the organization would not copse from the panic. Hence, normalbat troops were kept in the dark.

    They looked rxed and were able to joke around.

    The captain reminded them, ¡°Do not underestimate our enemy. Our target is an apostle withplex superpowers, super constitution, super senses, illusion powers and energy fields. Everyone must be extra cautious.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry captain.¡± A ck man smiled and smacked his helmet. ¡°We¡¯ll use electronic eyes and ears tomunicate so we are immune to the illusions.¡±

    In the next instant, a terrified scream was heard and an apostle looked at the sky as he shouted, ¡°Enemy attack! Enemy attack!¡±

    The jeeps screeched to a halt. Before they recovered from the sudden stop, Zhao Yao fell from the sky like a meteorite andnded in front of them.

    Boom! The shockwave emanated from Zhao Yao and created a sandstorm that spread out in all directions.

    After being hit by the powerful shockwave, the jeeps were overturned and flew out and a portion of the apostles inside the jeeps fainted while the remaining apostles activated their superpowers to escape from harm.

    ¡°One... two... fifteen... twenty-seven...¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes fixed onto the escaped apostles. Time froze. The Dragon ying Saber was gently swept over their bodies before time was allowed to resume.

    The captain¡¯s vision blurred and everyone fell to the ground screaming in pain. Zhao Yao grabbed the captain¡¯s head in his palm.

    ¡°Ah!¡± The captain roared angrily. His eyes lit up with hot white rays while his body was surrounded byyers of electricity. Wielding lightning in his hands, he pressed himself onto Zhao Yao¡¯s body firmly.

    Loud thunderous ps were heard and Zhao Yao stood intact, letting the lightning strike on the Deflective Field while he stared coldly at the captain and said, ¡°Are you done?¡±

    The captain looked fearfully at Zhao Yao and said under his breath, ¡°The Star Cats will not let you go.¡±

    ¡°They will not let me go?¡± Zhao Yao caressed his stomach, narrowed his eyes and said, ¡°Go back and tell your masters that things have changed. I¡¯ll not stop until they¡¯repletely destroyed.¡±

    Zhao Yao flung him onto a nearby rock wall, causing the wall to disintegrate and break into pieces.

    ...

    In the Star Cats¡¯ base, Steve looked at the received intelligence and frowned. ¡°A counterattack? Looks like long periods of pursuit are taking effect as he¡¯s losing his cool.¡±

    ¡°He wants to destroy us?¡± Steve scoffed and turned his head to his assistant to ask, ¡°How¡¯s the creation of Zhao Yao¡¯s simted superpower model going?¡±

    The assistant said, ¡°We¡¯vepleted more than half of the model and simted battles with Zhao Yao¡¯s exhibited superpowers in our strategy room. We are now gathering the appropriate apostles to fight him.¡±

    Superpower battles required specific intelligence and strategy to be effective.

    The special thing about superpowers was that some of them were able to negate other superpowers. After understanding Zhao Yao¡¯s superpowers, they are able to choose specific superpowers to counteract his superpowers.

    The assistant said, ¡°We¡¯ll use different tactics to counter Zhao Yao¡¯s various superpowers.¡±

    ¡°Very good,¡± Steve said with satisfaction. ¡°Let the Divination section predict his position and continue the pursuit. I don¡¯t want to give him a chance to breathe.¡±

    An urgent message was received and four cat figures appeared on the big screen.

    One of the supercats said perplexedly, ¡°Steve, did you see thetest news?¡±

    Steve was puzzled and said, ¡°What?¡±

    A series of news were broadcast on the screen.

    ¡°... Numerous non-sexual pregnancies were discovered worldwide...¡±

    ¡°... Confirmed cases includes both men and women...¡±

    ¡°... The first confirmed case was a Californian middle-aged man...¡±

    ¡°... Some experts imed that the unnatural pregnancies were the result of the evolution of the human body in response to changes in society...¡±

    Steve¡¯s head started to drip cold sweat.

    ¡°Oh, could this be...¡±

    ¡°It can¡¯t be wrong,¡± The supercat shouted. ¡°It must be Doomsday. He didn¡¯t die! He¡¯s bing more powerful!¡±

    In the Cat Wondend in Jianghai.

    It was another beautiful morning.

    Matcha stretched his back, opened his eyes, and smiled joyfully.

    ¡°Zhao Yao¡¯s not in. It¡¯s another happy day.¡± Matcha tossed in Zhao Yao¡¯s bed and sat up.

    He touched his stomach while sitting up and frowned. ¡°I ate too much yesterday.¡±

    Old Cat smiled and greeted him, ¡°Sir George, you¡¯re awake.¡±

    After Zhao Yao, Ares, and Elizabeth had gone to the United States, Matcha now held the reins of power.

    Obviously shown through Matcha sleeping on Zhao Yao¡¯s bed till noon.

    ¡°Hmm.¡± Matcha nodded, yawned, and asked, ¡°Old Cat, what¡¯s the agenda for today?¡±

    ¡°Oh, let me check.¡± Old Cat took out a small notebook and looked carefully as he said, ¡°You¡¯ve a golf session with the Cat King of the North this afternoon. You¡¯ve a dinner date with Ice Cream tonight. After that, it¡¯s the summary meeting in Cat Wondend.¡±

    ¡°Wait.¡± Matcha was puzzled and asked, ¡°Who¡¯s Ice Cream? Why am I having dinner with her?¡±

    ¡°Ice Cream is Weibo¡¯s popr female cat. You went to a cat exhibition, got to know her, and said she was pretty.¡±

    ¡°Oh, I remember.¡± Matcha¡¯s eyes lit up with anticipation. ¡°Not bad, I¡¯m not going to the meeting as I¡¯m continuing the date with her after dinner!¡±

    Old Cat said reluctantly, ¡°Not going to the meeting? It has been many days. Previously when Zhao Yao¡¯s around...¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Matcha red at Old Cat and said, ¡°You¡¯re using Zhao Yao to scare me? Are you saying that I can¡¯t make decisions in Cat Wondend?¡±

    ¡°I wouldn¡¯t dare.¡± Old Cat lowered his head and said, ¡°My bad... my mistake.¡±

    ¡°Humph.¡± Matcha scoffed, ¡°I¡¯ll let you off this time. Do not mention Zhao Yao in front of me. Do you understand?¡±

    Old Cat sighed as he walked out shaking his head. ¡°Matcha¡¯s managing Cat Wondend for less than a week and he¡¯s already so decadent. He¡¯s a fatuous manager.¡±

    ...

    At the golf field.

    Matcha sat in the pram and squinted his eyes in difort. ¡°The sun¡¯s very strong and the weather¡¯s too hot.¡±

    In the other pram, the Cat King of the North peered out with his head and said, ¡°Why are you standing around? Open the umbre and fan us.¡±

    The supercat attendants started blowing cold wind and used their Psychokinesis to hold up the umbres.

    Matcha nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s better.¡±

    The Cat King of the North smiled and said, ¡°Matcha, how¡¯s the deal we discussedst time? Buy all your cat food from me. I¡¯ll sell it to you at production price and the quality will be checked by me personally. There¡¯ll be no problems.¡±

    Matcha frowned and said, ¡°North King, you¡¯recking in sincerity.¡±

    The Cat King of the North said, ¡°What? It¡¯s really at production price. Our cat food¡¯s made of pure natural materials and there are no carbohydrates.¡±

    Matcha rubbed his paws.

    The Cat King of the North looked nkly at him and said, ¡°What?¡±

    Tsk. Matcha was unhappy and looked disdainfully at him as he said, ¡°You¡¯ve been in business for so long. What about mymission? How much is that?¡±

    The Cat King of the North said reluctantly, ¡°Matcha, I¡¯m running a small business and the price I am offering is very low...¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t care,¡± Matcha said arrogantly. ¡°There¡¯s no deal without amission, do you understand?¡± He sneered and said, ¡°I can¡¯t believe I have to remind you about the rules. You are ignorant.¡±

    The Cat King of the North nodded but he was furious as he thought, ¡°Matcha... since Zhao Yao left and Roly Poly had lost his intelligence, he¡¯s be more arrogant.¡±

    After determining themission, Matcha smiled andughed heartily. ¡°That¡¯s the right way to do business, I... I...¡±

    Matcha¡¯s body convulsed and he fell to the ground in pain as the Cat King of the North looked on anxiously.

    ¡°Matcha?¡±

    ¡°How¡¯re you, Matcha?¡±

    ¡°Send him to the hospital!¡±

    ...

    In the hospital, Matcha gradually regained consciousness. He looked around and discovered himself lying on a hospital bed.

    ¡°Meow!¡±

    ¡°Anyone around?¡±

    ¡°Can someone help me?¡±

    Matcha¡¯s ears quivered and he discovered someone walking over towards him. As he was about to shout for help, he heard someone speak.

    The Cat King of the North used his cell phone to say, ¡°Doctor! Is Matcha alright?¡±

    ¡°Hmm, he¡¯s healthy but there¡¯s something strange going on. He¡¯s... pregnant.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± The Cat King of the North said in surprise, ¡°Are you joking? He¡¯s a tomcat!¡±

    ¡°I know,¡± The doctor said puzzled. ¡°After ultrasound examination, it¡¯s a confirmed pregnancy. He fainted because his heart was obstructed...¡±

    The doctor spoke as he referred to the materials held in his hand. He was stunned and said, ¡°What? The report I saw vanished?¡±

    The Cat King of the North said doubtfully, ¡°I told you. You¡¯re mistaken.¡±

    In the other corridor, Matcha, who activated Time Freeze, leaned on the wall as he studied his ultrasound report.

    ¡°I... I¡¯m...¡± Matcha was in a state of disbelief. ¡°Pregnant?¡±

    Momentster, rage surged within him.

    ¡°No, I can¡¯t have this child. Otherwise, my reputation¡¯s ruined!¡±

    ...

    In the underground Cat Street, a masked orange cat walked over unsteadily and scanned his surroundings. When he was sure nobody was looking, he slipped into an unlicensed clinic.

    The nurse cat at the reception looked at him and asked, ¡°What illness?¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°I would like to have an abortion.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± The nurse cat heard Matcha¡¯s male voice and asked in disbelief, ¡°You want an abortion?¡±

    Matcha immediately suppressed his deep voice and used a feminine tone as he said, ¡°Yes, yes, I want an abortion.¡±

    The cat nurse shook her head and said, ¡°Young girls nowadays like to have fun. Once they are pregnant, theye here for an abortion. In the end, they are the ones who suffer.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s veins on his forehead pulsated as he thought, ¡°You are a nuisance!¡±

    The cat nurse pped down a form in front of him and said, ¡°Please do a self-registration. Once, you¡¯re called, enter the examination room.

    After filling up the form, Matcha sat in a carton box and fumed as he thought, ¡°D*mn... Why am I pregnant? This is so unfair!¡±

    A cat peered her head out from the examination room and shouted, ¡°Elizabeth? Are you here, Elizabeth?¡±

    The masked Matcha raised up his paw and said, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me!¡±

    After entering the clinic, there was a white cat on the sofa and he pointed at the other sofa. ¡°Sit anywhere you want.¡±

    Matcha sat on the sofa uneasily and the white cat doctor looked the form, ¡°Elizabeth? Three years old and never had any surgery before, right?¡±

    White cat doctor said, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you fill in this part? This is your first child? Did you have a miscarriage before?¡±

    Matcha lowered his head and was feeling embarrassed and shamed. When, the white cat doctor asked again then he clenched his teeth and answered,¡±My... my first child. I have never given birth before.¡±

    The white cat doctor asked again, ¡°How many months has it been?¡±

    ¡°... I ...¡± Matcha was ashamed. ¡°1... no... maybe half a day?¡±

    The white cat doctor was stunned and answered, ¡°Half a day? Are you kidding me, how do you know you are pregnant in half a day?¡± Then, he sighed and looked at Matcha with disapproval. ¡°Female cats these days, theyck self-control. How can you not know when you got pregnant? Where is the father of the kid? Why isn¡¯t he here?¡±

    Matcha covered his face and answered, ¡°There isn¡¯t? There shouldn¡¯t be a father.¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t even know who the father is.¡± The white cat sighed and shook his head. ¡°You... need to treasure your body.¡±

    Matcha rubbed his paws and asked, ¡°Can I abort it?¡±

    The white cat doctor was silent and said, ¡°We have to see the situation. But, are you sure? It is a life after all. If you give birth to it and it is a supercat, it will have intelligence.¡±

    Matcha hesitated and shook his head. ¡°I... I still want to abort.¡±

    The white cat nodded and rubbed his paws. ¡°Then...¡±

    Matcha rolled his eyes. ¡°How much do you want?¡±

    The white cat said, ¡°Our prices have always been the same. If I do the abortion personally, it will be 1000 dors.¡±

    ¡°1000?¡± Matcha¡¯s fur stood up in anger. ¡°Why don¡¯t you go and rob me instead.¡±

    The white cat stuck out his paws and said, ¡°Do you know what these are?¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°These are the hands of Jianghai¡¯s best gynecological sage,¡± The white cat said proudly. ¡°Although our clinic looks run down, we are all supercats. We are more reliable than human veterinarians. There are many cats whoe to me for treatment and none of them left uncured.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡±

    The white cat answered, ¡°Of course. Haven¡¯t you heard of my name? You don¡¯t know anything yet so you areining. So ignorant.¡±

    Matcha asked, ¡°Can you lower the price? I am just a poor and ordinary girl. I came from the vige to work here. I really don¡¯t have much money.¡±

    ¡°If you don¡¯t have the money, there won¡¯t be a surgery.¡± He looked at Matcha impatiently. ¡°This price is pretty fair. If you think it is expensive then look for someone else.¡±

    Matcha sighed, ¡°Okay then.¡±

    ¡°Pay then we will have the surgery.¡±

    After Matcha paid, the white cat doctor smiled and said, ¡°No problems, I will arrange for you immediately.¡±

    Then, the doctor walked to the door and stuck his head out.¡±Xiao Meng,e in!¡±

    The front desk nurse walked in and the doctor introduced. ¡°This is nurse Xiao Meng, she is here to check you.¡±

    Matcha asked bewilderedly, ¡°Check?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t belittle her!¡± The white cat doctor said. ¡°Nurse Xiao Meng has the power to see through things. Look...¡±

    Nurse Xiao Meng¡¯s eyes stared and her pupils erged and her eyes turned ck. There were veins popping out at the side of her eyes and she looked like she was struggling to do it.

    Doctor white cat said, ¡°Xiao Meng¡¯s powers can be controlled to look at any distance, degree or direction. She can even choose what to see. It is like a walking Ultra-sound and X-ray machine!

    With her super fast sketching skills, she can rece a whole radiology department!¡±

    Xiao Meng was staring at Matcha and was holding onto a pencil with her mouth. Her paws pressed onto the pencil and the pencil started moving at an incredible speed. Then, sketches of the interiors of Matcha¡¯s tummy was drawn.

    ¡°So cool!¡± Matcha¡¯s eyes lit up. He used his paws and covered his face immediately. He was screaming in his heart. ¡°If she has X-ray eyes, then hasn¡¯t she seen my balls?¡±

    White cat said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. We are professionals. We won¡¯t look at ces we are not supposed to. She only looked at your tummy. These are the rules.¡±

    Matcha nodded but he still refused to put down his paw.

    The white cat looked at Xiao Meng¡¯s sketched and nodded. ¡°You should be a couple weeks pregnant by now. If you went to humans, they really could not do the surgery for you. But, it is simple for me.¡±

    The power of Doomsday¡¯s forced pregnancy had elerated Matcha¡¯s pregnancy, hence it made the white cat think that it had been a few weeks.

    Then, white cat held his paws together and rows of surgical instruments floated out. A table rose up from under Matcha for him to lie on.

    Controlled by the white cat, the instruments started moving around.

    ¡°Elizabeth, I am about to start. Rest assured, it will be fast. There isn¡¯t even a need for anesthetics.¡±

    Matcha looked at the menacing surgical instrument move closer and said suddenly, ¡°Wait.¡±

    ¡°What is it?¡±

    ¡°Nurse Xiao Meng, can you let me see the sketches?¡±

    Looking at the sketches and he looked at his tummy. Matcha said suddenly. ¡°I... will reconsider.¡± Then, he activated Time Freeze and disappeared in the operating room.

    White cat shook his head and sighed, ¡°She can¡¯t bear to?¡±

    Matcha walked out of the clinic and mmed his paws and the wall. ¡°Damn it... I am afraid of the pain. I don¡¯t dare to undergo the surgery. What should I do?¡±

    ...

    In a control room of Star Cats.

    Steve looked at the scene in front of him in anger.

    Ten minutes ago, there was a stir on the entire American web. There was a message carved on the Statue of Liberty¡¯s entire body.

    ¡°Hand Doomsday over before midnight or I will demolish the White House.¡±

    ¡°This is too much! Too arrogant!¡± Steve was about to explode when he saw the words. Although he was a high ranking personnel in Star Cats, he was also an American.

    As the strongest country, it was a disgrace.

    The sentence on the Statue of Liberty was spread throughout the web and everyone¡¯s attention was ced on the White house. They were curious about what was going to happen.

    While Steve was infuriated, his assistant passed the phone over. ¡°Boss, the President is on the phone.¡±

    Steve answered the phone and heard a series of scoldings.

    His face was ck but he had to calm the president down repeatedly. He could only hang up after 50 mins.

    After he calmed the President down, then he had to deal with the American army and all the department officials¡¯ queries.

    They were unhappy with the Star Cats for letting other country¡¯s apostles cause chaos in their country for so long.

    After answering to all the departments, Steve came to the conference room. There were only four cats left in Star Cats and the six generals of the American army were on video call.

    A white haired general yelled, ¡°This is a terrorist attack. We have to capture this terrorist immediately!¡±

    Another general said, ¡°He wants us to find Doomsday but actually Doomsday is not with Star Cats. We can try to negotiate with him, then think of a solution. Like, pressuring the Chinese government or kidnapping his family. We don¡¯t have to start a fight in our country.¡±

    ¡°Absolutely not,¡± The white haired general said coldly. ¡°The world is waiting for our reaction. It concerns our global standing and prestige. If we do not capture this guy, there will be huge implications for our next global strategy.¡±

    Another general said, ¡°Yes. If he seeds, then all the other organizations will be stirred and our allies will have lesser faith in us.¡±

    The white haired general concluded, ¡°We have to capture him as fast as we can. It is best if we can capture him alive.¡± Then, he looked at the screen and asked the four creators. ¡°Regarding powers, you guys are the experts. We can provide our full cooperation.¡±

    Anthony, who was the supercat with mass transfer powers, nodded and typed, ¡°In fact, like what you guys said about attacking his family, we have already taken action.¡±

    Regarding Zhao Yao¡¯s powers, we have been studying him. Steve knows this area best.

    The Natural Disaster Representative Steve said, ¡°ording to the intel that we have collected, Zhao Yao has very strong physical qualities. He can move up to 360 meters every second and jump to a height of 540 meters and for a distance of 1062 meters.¡±

    Steve showed the intel that they had collected. It was pictures and footages of Zhao Yao in action. He exined the information one by one. ¡°His body can take attacks of more than thousands of tonnes. He also has very fast adaptability and recovery when attacked by poisonous gas andser.¡±

    Then, it was a few photos of Zhao Yao being attacked by fire.

    ¡°His hearing is 20 to 30 times better than an ordinary human. He can hear anything within five kilometers and his vision is 10 times better than ordinary humans. We have not collected data on how high he can see. In the no man zone, our soldiers are unable to get close to him.¡±

    ¡°Except for physical abilities, he also has other recovery powers.¡± Steve showed a photo of the bullets being stopped, the mes being distorted and all the missiles being deflected.

    ¡°The unknown field force can defend and deflect most of the conventional weapons.¡±

    A few photos taken by the satellite was disyed.

    ¡°He has teleportation. The cool down time is unknown. The furthest distance he has teleported was 7.8 kilometers.¡±

    Steve pointed at a video. The first time, everyone could not see clearly, the second time with Steve¡¯s help. they could barely see a bit of deflection in light on the corridor and the soldiers in the footage werepletely unaware.

    ¡°He has optical invisibility...¡±

    Then, it was the footage of countless people fainting when they saw Zhao Yao and some people overlooking Zhao Yao¡¯s existence.

    ¡°Illusion power is transmitted through vision and sound. Anyone that hears him and sees his body will be forced to sleep for 8 seconds. After 8 seconds, there is a forced phobia and there is no way to alleviate it.

    We can only use thetest helmet¡¯s digital eye and ear to scan to avoid being affected by the illusion.¡±

    Then, it was all the footage of Zhao Yao fighting in America.

    ¡°Other than that, he can submerge underground, walk through walls, fly and erase memories.¡±

    After hearing Steve¡¯s introduction, the confident generals¡¯ faces fell.

    The amount of powers Zhao Yao held, in terms of quality and quantity was beyond their imagination.

    The white haired general frowned and asked, ¡°Why does he have so many powers? From what I know, shouldn¡¯t one apostle only have one power?¡±

    Steve said, ¡°ording to our observation, a portion of his powers are from the cats that he carry with him and the other portion is... unidentified.¡±

    Upon hearing this, all their eyes lit up.

    If they could capture Zhao Yao alive, then they could get the secret of owning so many powers at once and his cats would be theirs. It was a huge benefit.

    The white haired general asked, ¡°What do you need? You have our full cooperation.¡±

    Steve said, ¡°ording to the target¡¯s powers, we have organized a team of more than 200 apostles and borrowed different powers to restrain the target¡¯s different abilities.¡±

    ¡°However, to deal with his strong physical qualities, we need have some weapons and powers that can fight him.¡±

    Steve looked at the white haired general and said, ¡°We want to borrow Monster¡¯s powers and the exoskeleton armor that you guys are developing.¡±

    The white haired general said, ¡°Okay.¡±

    After Project X had attacked America and took awayrge amounts of supercats, the supercats left were inferior in terms of quality and quantity. Therefore, in this mission, Star Cats was the one leading.

    After Steve had brought up the two requests, he only asked for some help from the army, some temporarymand authority, and for the police, fire department, hospitals and the media to cooperate.

    Now, in America, the army and Star Cats were gradually uniting because of Zhao Yao. It was like a sleeping dragon was awakening slowly and about to show the world its fangs.

    At the same time, all the Americans and countless people from other countries were watching.

    ...

    In Jianghai, Uncle Ho looked at the news and intel from the authorities in despair. He tried to call Zhao Yao and of course no one answered.

    Then, he yelled,¡±Send someone to Cat Wondend! Now!¡±

    ...

    That day at midnight.

    In America, a thousand of meters into the sky at the White House.

    Zhao Yao was wearing the Cheese Cloak. Holding onto Rice Cake de in the air, he looked to the ground.

    Ares, Dust Ball, Elizabeth, Mango and the rest were wrapped in the Deflective Field by Ares and Zhao Yao.

    Matcha walked out of the Cat Wondend depressed. He thought to himself, ¡°What should I do? The abortion is going to hurt and I am a male cat. Where is the baby going toe out from?¡±

    ¡°From behind?¡± Thinking of that Matcha was rmed.

    ¡°From the front?¡± Matcha was shivering in his heart.

    ¡°Damn it! Do I need to cut my stomach open?¡±

    Matcha did not know that his situation was because of powers, he did not dare to tell anyone either.

    Of course, Zhao Yao did not know about the ident with Matcha too. He would not tell the cats what happened to him either.

    So, Matcha did not know that the state of his body would be returned to normal and that the fetus in his body would go back in time and return to being part of his body.

    Matcha was thinking to himself, ¡°Maybe I can ask Zhao Yao or Elizabeth to cast illusion on me so I can ignore the pain...¡±

    As Matcha was thinking about it, a ck shadow ran over to him, hit his stomach and knocked Matcha onto the ground.

    Uncle Egg ran over from afar and shouted, ¡°Roly Poly! Roly Poly! Don¡¯t run around!¡±

    Matcha felt a pain in his stomach and fell to the ground. He hugged his stomach and looked at Roly Poly with fright. ¡°Stupid cat! What are you doing! If something happens to my stomach, can you be held responsible for it?¡±

    Uncle Egg ran over and bit onto Roly Poly¡¯s leash. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Matcha. Roly Poly ran away suddenly and I lost him.¡±

    Matcha looked at Uncle Egg suspiciously. ¡°Are you guys trying to harm me? Do you know how important is my stomach now?¡±

    Uncle Egg looked at Matcha in confusion and Matcha remembered that Uncle Egg did not know about it. He turned and looked at Roly Poly who was looking at him curiously. He sighed, ¡°Forget it. Just be careful. Don¡¯t knock into someone else.¡±

    Matcha watch them leave and asked suddenly, ¡°Oh ya, where is Milk Tea?¡±

    ¡°I did not see him.¡± Uncle Egg said, ¡°He said that he wanted to help me take care of Roly Poly, but I don¡¯t know where he went.¡±

    Then, Matcha¡¯s phone rang.

    It was Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Matcha, from now on, without my permission, you are not allowed to use Time Freeze, do you get it?¡±

    ...

    In the white house, a blond elder was sitting in the chair and pressing his phone.

    The assistant reminded him, ¡°Star Cats want us to evacuate immediately.¡±

    ¡°Evacuate? Do you know how many people are watching us?¡± The blond haired elder raged. ¡°He wants the American President to retreat from the White House? Is there a safer country in the world? What will the people think? Would they vote for a coward?¡±

    He typed on his phone and uploaded a selfie. He was going to post on social media, ¡°I want everyone to know that their president is going to stay in the White House today and this country is safe.¡±

    Then, he sent a photo and captioned. ¡°Working overtime in White House tonight.¡±

    The assistant started calling the Star Cats helplessly.

    Star Catsmander Steve said nervously, ¡°ording to the stats, he is already here at White House. Ask the president to evacuate immediately.¡±

    ¡°What? He is already inside?¡± The blond hair elder yelled in shock. ¡°Are you kidding me? What are you guys doing? I give you guys hundreds of billion each year and you guys can¡¯t even stop one guy!¡±

    ¡°Evacuate! Evacuate!¡±

    ¡°Send me out of here immediately!¡±

    The assistant nodded and started to arrange things. At first, he did not know that the enemy was there. Of course he wouldn¡¯t leave, it would be embarrassing.

    Furthermore, they were working together with the Star Cats.

    Who knew that despite theyers of defense, the thousands of apostles and the various back up ns, he would still be able to enter. Now, he would not stay longer, being embarrassed would be better than being in an ident.

    When everyone in the White House was about to take action, the floor started to shake.

    It was like an earthquake.

    ...

    Meanwhile, outside the White House istion region, thousands of meters away from the White House, countless citizens, media and apostles were gathered. They were observing the White House from afar.

    In front of the TVs,puters, and ipads millions of Americans were watching the news report curiously.

    ¡°Everyone, this is CNN. I am your reporter, ire. We are bringing you a report from outside the White House.¡±

    Then, the camera turned and the White House appeared in front of everyone.

    ¡°As everyone can see, now, the White House has been surrounded byrge amounts of troops and all unauthorized personnel have been evacuated 1 kilometer away.¡± The female reporter looked at the time. ¡°Currently, it is already past midnight and the White House still looks intact.¡±

    In the studio, the host smiled and said, ¡°ire, it looks like this is a wasted trip.¡±

    A guest at the side said, ¡°The White House is one of the safest ces in the world. The threat may be just a prank.¡±

    ¡°If there is really going to be an attack, it wouldn¡¯t make sense to give a warning first...¡±

    ¡°I think that the person behind this may be XXX, XXX or XXX, their motives may be...¡±

    ¡°Everyone look! The exoskeleton mechanical army is thetest development in the military. It was said to be still under development, surprisingly, they are already in use.¡±

    ¡°It provides the soldiers with strong bullet proof and explosion proof defense. It can also provide soldiers with triple the loading capacity and they can bring along more weapons.¡±

    ¡°Furthermore, the digitized helmets are equipped with infrared, sonar and electromaic detection. When battling in the wild, fighting with these equipments is as easy as killing a cockroach in your kitchen.¡±

    ¡°Our country now has the most developed weapons in the world.¡±

    ¡°Evidently, the President has used this chance to show our military strength.¡±

    ¡°Everyone look, two minutes ago, our president just sent a tweet. Let us look at the content...¡±

    In all the news reports, all the hosts and guests were rxed and joking. In most of the American¡¯s hearts, they were still the strongest country and the super power in the world. They had the most amount of money, the strongest army, and the most terrible weapons.

    On earth, the Americans were invincible.

    Therefore, after Zhao Yao made the threat, most Americans were first infuriated then they were curious.

    They were infuriated that someone had challenged their country and they were curious to see if there was a change in the White House.

    Meanwhile, when the female reporter got bored at the scene and looked at the camera man beside her. ¡°Tom, do you think we¡¯ll catch a big story?¡±

    The camera manughed, ¡°How can it be ire? Don¡¯t you know how powerful the White House troops are? Even if they faced transformers, they would be beaten into pulp.¡±

    ire looked disappointed. ¡°Then, am I not wasting my time?¡±

    Tom said, ¡°Not necessarily. Maybe some people wille over to cause trouble. Throw eggs or crash a car. Then, you can do a live report.¡±

    Suddenly, Tom saw that ire looked astonished and he turned around to look at the White House too. Then, he was startled.

    At the same time, countless people were screaming.

    In front of the screens, the people watching the reports gasped and stood up.

    In the screen, arge piece of the the White House¡¯s roof disappeared.

    Then,rge pieces of walls started disappearing.

    It was like an invisible creature was eating the White House.

    ...

    In the frozen world, Zhao Yao walked slowly along the corridors as he looked at the panicking faces. Then, his eyes lit up. ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this the President?¡±

    He walked in front of the blond haired elder and tidied his tie. ¡°He looks frightened.¡±

    Then, he picked up a pen and wrote on his hand. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. I won¡¯t kill you.¡±

    ¡°But, you have to hand over Doomsday or I will demolish the Capitol.¡±

    After writing, Zhao Yao walked in front of a wall and used the Murasama de to cut it. Then, Zhao Yao pushed the wall gently and it fell over. It was as easy as cutting a cake.

    Zhao Yao reached out, carried the wall and hummed while he walked onto the grass patch outside.

    In the middle of the grass patch was the opened Dimension Portal.

    He walked to the Dimension Portal and threw the wall inside. The parts that exceeded the dimension of the door were cut and thrown in again.

    Project X sat in the Extradimensional Belly and looked at the bricks and cement being thrown in, he thought, ¡°What the hell... is this guy doing?¡±

    After doing all of this Zhao Yao used Cheese Cloak and flew back into sky. He had returned to the clouds and entered Ares¡¯ Deflective Field.

    Ares¡¯ Deflective Field was like a huge bag that contained all the supercats.

    In Time Freeze, they were frozen in the air together.

    Zhao Yao carried Ares in his arms and resumed time.

    Zhao Yao was flying with Cheese and Zhao Yao carried Ares, while Ares was carrying all the supercats with the Deflective Field.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Ares, set the Deflective Field such that I cane in and out freely. When the Time Freeze¡¯s cool down period has ended, I will go down again.¡±

    Then, Zhao Yao looked down and started counting.

    Matcha was Level 8 and every time he used Time Freeze for 12 seconds, he could have a rtive time of 96 seconds with Boiling point.

    96 seconds was enough for Zhao Yao to fly down, cut the house, throw it into the Dimension Portal and fly back.

    There were many times where Zhao Yao did not even need 96 seconds. He also would not maintain the same frequency for them to find out the pattern.

    ...

    To everyone else in the real world, it was like every seven or eight seconds, the White House would have one part missing. It was like there was an invisible monster eating up the White House.

    ¡°What!¡± Reporter ire eyes lit up, but she spoke with a heartbroken tone. ¡°Everyone look! The White House has disappeared! Before this, the president was in the White House. We don¡¯t know if he has been attacked. We will continue to report for you!¡±

    There were live streamers who were pointing their phones at the White House and gasping.

    ¡°Look! The roof of the White House is gone! Even the walls are gone!¡±

    ¡°Oh my god! What is eating the White House!¡±

    ¡°How is the president?¡±

    Meanwhile, in the White House, the bodyguards and assistant evacuated the president out.

    The president looked at the disappearing walls, furnitures and electronics and he panicked. He eximed, ¡°What is attacking us?¡±

    The surrounding bodyguards were anxious as even if the body guards were apostles, they have never experienced such peculiar attacks.

    ¡°Where are the Star Cats? Where are they?¡±

    ¡°On your left! Retreat!¡±

    A bunch of them walked halfway and saw that the floor in front them disappeared. They yelled and retreated.

    ¡°What is happening outside?!¡±

    ¡°Check if the backup retreat route is still safe!¡±

    ¡°Damn it! The House is about to copse!¡±

    After the chaos, there was a blue sh in front of the President and a dozen of Star Cats apostles in an exoskeleton armor were transported.

    The leader of the Star Cats apostles said, ¡°President, hold onto me. We will bring you out.¡±

    There were another sh and the president and his team disappeared.

    The entire White House was still disappearing, Steve looked at the picture in the control room and said in disbelief, ¡°He is really going to demolish the White House?¡±

    He turned his head and yelled, ¡°What is going on? How is he doing it?¡±

    ¡°No... no idea, he has never disyed simr powers before.¡± The assistant said, ¡°There are too much possibilities.¡±

    ¡°Try and stop him!¡± Steve shouted. ¡°We cannot allow him to continue. Send out the toxin team.¡±

    As he spoke, the Star Cats apostles were activated.

    In the blue light, the toxin apostles in exoskeleton armor were transported into the White House. As they activated their powers, the air was filled with all kinds of toxins.

    Any ordinary human who took a breath would die from poison immediately.

    ¡°It is useless, Sir,¡± The assistant said. ¡°The White House is still being demolished.¡±

    ¡°Not afraid of toxins?¡± Steve sneered. ¡°Then, use a low temperature and freeze the White House down!¡±

    One by the one, the apostles in protective clothing ran into the White House and the chilling air filled the entire building.

    All the tablemps, chair, television,puter, and toilets were frozen by the chilly air. The temperature of the entire White House was decreasing below negative hundred degrees Celsius. There were no signs of life in the White House.

    However, the situation did not change. The floor and the furniture were still disappearing from the White House.

    ¡°Did the observation team discover the target?¡± Steve raged. ¡°What did he do?¡±

    ¡°No... no idea,¡± The assistant said. ¡°The infrared and sonar vision channels all couldn¡¯t see him. The electromaic waves can¡¯t detect him either, but he is there!¡±

    ¡°What about underground?¡± Steve shouted. ¡°Doesn¡¯t he know how to descend underground?¡±

    Under the White House, a team of apostles reporting, ¡°No, he isn¡¯t here.¡±

    Steve grabbed onto his head and rubbed his hair. He looked at the half demolished White House and moaned, ¡°What is happening?¡±

    Star Cats had made all kinds of precautionary ns for the powers that Zhao Yao showcased.

    They used apostles with Monster¡¯s powers to fight against Zhao Yao¡¯s strong physical qualities.

    The exosketelon armor was to defend against illusions.

    The prediction team and transfer team were to track his teleportation.

    The digging team was to prevent him from going underground.

    The psychokinesis team was to fight against his force field and to restrict his movement speed.

    The toxins, low temperature, medical, hypnosis and a dozen other powers were mobile units.

    However, they did not expect or prepare to meet in such circumstances.

    Steve said bitterly, ¡°We can¡¯t see him, can¡¯t detect him, can¡¯t attack him and can¡¯t defend against him. We are defenseless against Zhao Yao now.¡±

    The assistant said, ¡°Sir, there were words written on the President¡¯s hands.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Steve asked, ¡°What were they?¡±

    He looked at the photo and read it. ¡°Tomorrow morning? The Capitol?¡±

    The Capitol was much more important than the White House. It was the heart of America. It was the ce where all the inauguration of the President were held and where all the importantws were passed. This shows how scared the ce was to Americans.

    It was like demolishing the Great Hall of the People and Tiananmen.

    Steve could not imagine the consequences of demolishing the Capitol so violently. His scalp turned numb.

    In the screen behind Steve, Anthony said, ¡°He can write on the President¡¯s palm, which means he can kill you guys anytime.¡±

    On the other screen, the supercat with prediction powers, Merlin said, ¡°It would not be wise to continue to fight him. Maybe we can sit down and have a talk. After all Doomsday is ourmon enemy.¡±

    ¡°We can tell him about Doomsday and let¡¯s not rush into dealing with him before figuring out his powers.¡±

    ¡°However...¡± Steve said helplessly. ¡°He did not give us any contact details. We cannot leak the news out or everyone will know that we have sumbed to him and we don¡¯t know if China can contact him.¡±

    ¡°The next target is the Capitol. We have to contact him or stop him before something happens to the Capitol.¡±

    Then, the satellite phone rang and Steve answered the phone. His eyes lit up.

    ¡°Everyone, I think we can negotiate with him now.¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, as thest wall disappeared, the entire White House disappeared in front of everyone.

    The building that had hundreds of years of history and seen centuries of America¡¯s presidents hadpletely disappeared.

    Outside the White House, the crowd, media, and live streamers turned from excited, shocked and nervous to silent. They fell more and more silent. When the entire White House disappeared, the crowd waspletely silenced.

    Everyone looked at the emptynd feeling depressed and fearful.

    Although White House was just a building it symbolized countless Americans¡¯ spirit, confidence and faith.

    Now, in front of countless Americans it was demolished such that they were helpless against it. It crushed the confidence of the entire nation.

    Originally the Americans could announce to the world with the greatest confidence and pride that their President, the highest authority of their nation, lived there. They were not afraid to let everyone know that they were confident that they had the capabilities to keep their President safe.

    But now, with a warning, with thetest developed weapons and witnessed by countless people, the White House was destroyed in an unexinable way.

    If the White House could be destroyed like this, then what about other ces? Was there anywhere safe on this earth?

    In front of their TVs andputers, countless Americans covered their mouths in shock and watched the White House disappear in disbelief. Some were angered, some were upset, some were afraid and some were worried...

    It was like the inte was bombed with a nuclear bomb. News swept across the world like a tornado and it spread to billions of people.

    ¡°... On 21 August, at 12.26am, the America White House was under attack for unidentified reasons...¡±

    ¡°... The entire White House has disappeared... cause unknown... no casualties...¡±

    ¡°... Currently the American President is still healthy... he disyed strong condemnation and has promised that... the attacker will be caught...¡±

    ¡°... No organizations have imed responsibility for this...¡±

    ...

    In the Cat Wondend office, Matcha sat at Zhao Yao¡¯s desk and there was a foreign phone number. Then, he heard crappy Chinese.

    ¡°Hi, this is the American President¡¯s office. May I ask if Zhao Yao...¡±

    Matcha mmed down the phone. ¡°Stupid! The liars are everywhere. How can Americans speak Chinese?¡±

    Matcha was still very concerned about his stomach and was unaware of the big news in America.

 Chapter 874: Giving Birth and Discussion

    <h4>Chapter 874: Giving Birth and Discussion</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    Matcha hung up the phone and buried his head in his stomach. The more he thought, the angrier he became.

    He did not sleep that night and was busy for the day. As he pondered, he fell asleep unknowingly.

    A series of roars were heard and Matcha opened his eyes in a daze.

    ¡°Matcha!¡±

    ¡°Matcha, what¡¯re you doing?¡±

    ¡°Wake up!¡±

    Matcha opened his eyes and saw a short and fat version of himself patting him. ¡°Your son¡¯s pooing again. Go clean up immediately!¡±

    Matcha turned his head and saw a small orange cat sprawled on the ground. Beside him were lumps of poo.

    After cleaning up the floor, Matcha heard another shout. ¡°Matcha! Your son¡¯s constipated. Go lick him!¡±

    Matcha retorted, ¡°Why should I lick him?¡±

    ¡°When a kitten¡¯s constipated, his parents need to lick them to stimte his stomach. Don¡¯t you know this? What kind of a dad are you?¡±

    Matcha walked over reluctantly.

    ¡°Matcha, there¡¯s no more milk! Buy some milk for your son!¡±

    ¡°Remember to feed him milk at specific points in time.¡±

    ¡°Tomorrow¡¯s his vination. Don¡¯t forget to bring him to the appointment.¡±

    ¡°Matcha! Get up immediately, your son...¡±

    Matcha was kept busy with his son¡¯s errands. When he next looked into the mirror, he saw a frail face with blood-shot eyes.

    His fur was oily and looked like he had not cleaned himself for days.

    His paw pads were soiled and filled with dust.

    His cheeks were hallowed and his eyes listless. Even his stomach slimmed down.

    ¡°How did I be like this? My looks dropped by at least 50 points.¡± Matcha muttered to himself.

    He heard the pping of wings and a Munchkin cat flew in and circled above his head. The Munchkin cat shouted happily, ¡°We meet again and it¡¯s earlier than I expected! Are you happy?¡±

    Matcha frowned and red at Doomsday as he said, ¡°Who are you? I feel like beating you up.¡±

    ¡°Hahaha.¡± Doomsdayughed loudly. ¡°I deliver surprises for the world. I fight for world peace and gender equality.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Matcha frowned and looked at Doomsday. He was dazed in the dreamscape but he still had his subconscious¡¯ mind and memories.

    Matcha¡¯s eyes popped when he recognized Doomsday. ¡°It¡¯s you! You¡¯re the one who delivered the kitten to me! Are you the one who made me pregnant?¡± Matcha wailed as he charged towards Doomsday and wrestled with him.

    Two orange cats tossed and turned on the ground as they fought. Doomsday shouted in shock, ¡°What¡¯re you doing?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re asking me?¡± Matcha roared furiously. ¡°You¡¯ve gotten me into hot soup!¡± He bit Doomsday¡¯s ear.

    Argh! Doomsday screamed in pain as he kicked wildly at Matcha using his hind leg. ¡°I know you¡¯ll be unhappy at the beginning but you¡¯ll thank me in the future! I gave you the world¡¯s best gift!¡±

    ¡°The world¡¯s best gift?¡± Matcha was angered. ¡°Do you know how much I¡¯m suffering? I¡¯m a tomcat and you let me give birth to a kitten?!¡±

    Matcha bit Doomsday¡¯s ear viciously.

    ¡°Ah! My ear¡¯s dropping! My ear¡¯s dropping!¡± Doomsday panicked and said, ¡°You don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you! I¡¯ll get you to understand my good intentions!¡±

    The next moment, the world swirled and quaked as Matcha¡¯s eyes were filled with darkness. Then he awoke in the office.

    ¡°What? I was dreaming?¡±

    As he was recalling his dream, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach. He looked at his tummy which had grown bigger.

    ¡°S*it!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m feeling the pain ofbour?!¡± Matcha panicked and eximed. ¡°Why do I feel like I¡¯m giving birth?¡±

    Matcha became anxious as though he had caught fire. ¡°What shall I do? What shall I do?¡±

    Old Cat came into the office and said, ¡°Sir George, we¡¯re starting the meeting... We...¡± He lifted his head, saw an empty chair, and was puzzled. ¡°Not in the office? I thought I saw him just now?¡±

    Matcha activated Time Freeze to hide outside Cat Wondend. He muttered, ¡°No, I can¡¯t stay in Cat Wondend...¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve got to find a ce where nobody will recognize me...¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡±

    ...

    With the disappearance of the White House, powerful organizations in the world were shocked by such powerful superpower.

    In Jianghai, half an hour after the White House¡¯s disappearance, Uncle Ho took a flight to the North to attend a secret high profile meeting.

    Looking at familiar and some unknown leaders, Uncle Ho could not stop swallowing his saliva nervously.

    He had few asions to speak except for answering some questions during the meeting. However, he got to know arge amount of intelligence unknown to him previously.

    ¡°Zhao Yao is the confirmed perpetrator of the White House incident.¡±

    ¡°The United States have informed us that the Pentagon was very unhappy about this incident. The effect on international rtions...¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao¡¯s superpowers went beyond our expectations. Is there any conclusion from the superpower strategic unit?¡±

    ¡°As for the unknown superpower, we¡¯re unable to observe, defend, counterattack or organize effective...¡±

    After hearing four consecutive ¡®unable¡¯, everyone frowned deeply.

    ¡°Previously, Zhao Yao exhibited simr superpowers but without the destructiveness.¡±

    A senior leader looked at Uncle Ho and asked, ¡°Mr Ho, you¡¯ve been in charge of Zhao Yao. Do you know what that superpower is?¡±

    Uncle Ho stood up nervously and said, ¡°Though we were in contact for long periods of time, Zhao Yao¡¯s cautious and used illusion and invisibility to hide his superpowers so we are not sure either.¡±

    An elderly leader said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, just tell us what you know. Bold spections and meticulous confirmations are what we want.¡±

    Uncle Ho nodded and pondered before saying, ¡°Zhao Yao exhibited a simr superpower before and the duration is short so we thought it was the Teleportation superpower. After observing several battles, his superpower¡¯s not as simple as a Teleportation superpower.¡±

    ¡°Within a certain distance, he canplete many actions that we are unable to observe in a short time.¡±

    ¡°A simr superpower that I can think of is our unit¡¯s Time eleration. However, he¡¯s faster than that. Even high-speed cameras can¡¯t capture his actions or changes in his shadow.¡±

    ¡°I only know of one superpower that can do that.¡±

    Everyone looked at him curiously. ¡°What superpower?¡±

    ¡°The superpower¡¯s faster than light,¡± Uncle Ho said grimly. ¡°Time Freeze, more than a minute of Time Freeze.¡±

    After listening to Uncle Ho¡¯s spection, everyone was silent and slowly took in the incredulous information.

    Everyone understood the concept of Time Freeze and how unnatural it was. Nobody had discovered such a superpower in the supernatural realm. Time Freeze was an unscientific and illogical superpower.

    When such superpower was used by an apostle withpound superpowers, his threat level was multiplied.

    An elderly leader asked, ¡°Are you sure it¡¯s Time Freeze?¡±

    Uncle Ho said, ¡°I can¡¯t be 100% sure but with our current intelligence on Zhao Yao, only Time Freeze fits the description of his superpower.¡±

    ¡°Wow, Time Freeze!¡± An Army leader said. ¡°Someone actually possessed this incredible superpower.¡±

    The leaders gradually recovered from their shock and started discussing their n of action.

    ¡°Elevate Zhao Yao¡¯s security clearance.¡±

    ¡°Re-evaluate Project Oriental Beacon.¡±

    ¡°As for the Americans... an official reply¡¯s not required. I¡¯ll dispatch a messenger discreetly.¡±

    Not only China but the other countries in the world were investigating the details of the White House incident. Everyone wanted to find out what terrifying superpower was used in this attack.

    Because China and the United States coborated in banning information, not many people knew Zhao Yao¡¯s identity and his terrifying superpowers.

    ...

    In the United States.

    Though there were many setbacks contacting Zhao Yao, after assistance from numerous middlemen, the Americans managed to contact Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao picked up his phone and heard the other party conversing in English followed by Mandarin.

    ¡°Greetings, I am Steve from the Star Cats. We have met before.¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned and said, ¡°You¡¯re repeating yourself. You think I don¡¯t understand English? Are you looking down on Asians? Is that racial discrimination?¡±

    ¡°I...¡± Steve inhaled deeply and said, ¡°I think there¡¯s a misunderstanding. You must have cooled down after demolishing the White House? Let¡¯s discuss any issues that you¡¯re unhappy with. There¡¯s no need to resort to violence, don¡¯t you think?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s nothing to discuss. Just surrender the remaining four Star Cats, Doomsday and the Meteorite Fragments,¡± Zhao Yao said. ¡°I won¡¯t demolish the Capitol Building and I¡¯ll reconstruct the White House. I¡¯ll add inwn mowing and room cleaning. The White House will be as good as new.¡±

    Steve cursed Zhao Yao silently for his insatiable greed. Steve thought that the problem was not about reconstructing the White House.

    As Zhao Yao was currently the stronger one, they were on the receiving end of his attacks. They could not defend or attack and were in a helpless position.

    Steve ate his humble pie and said, ¡°Doomsday¡¯s not with us as he has escaped and his superpower has evolved. If you want to find him, we can help you.¡±

    Zhao Yao was silent and Steve said, ¡°If you were affected by Doomsday¡¯s superpower, besides being able to be treated by him, there¡¯s another traditional method...¡±

    ¡°What nonsense is that!¡± Zhao was agitated and said, ¡°Who told you I¡¯m pregnant? Don¡¯t you spread rumors! I¡¯m looking for Doomsday not because I¡¯m pregnant!¡±

    After listening to Zhao Yao¡¯s heated outburst, Steve and the four pioneer cats felt helpless.

    Anthony, the supercat with mass transfer superpower, said, ¡°Zhao Yao was indeed made pregnant by Doomsday.¡±

    The Divination cat, Merlin, said, ¡°I heard one bes more hot-tempered after being pregnant. No wonder Zhao Yao¡¯s so vicious.¡±

    Another supercat with the Frost superpower, Ace, said, ¡°Don¡¯t antagonize a pregnant man. Shall we wait for him to give birth before having a discussion? Perhaps after giving birth, he will develop maternal love. It might be easier to reach an agreement.¡±

    Steve quickly replied, ¡°Yes, yes, yes, we know you aren¡¯t pregnant. Doomsday isn¡¯t with us. You¡¯ve found the wrong person.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t believe you,¡± Zhao Yao said. ¡°Unless you find the whereabouts of Doomsday and inform me, I won¡¯t believe you.¡±

    Steve retorted, ¡°You are getting unreasonable? You attacked our Natural Disaster apostles first so our Star Cats retaliated. If you hadn¡¯t captured Arthas and the other Star Cats and weakened our defenses, Doomsday wouldn¡¯t have escaped and caused... so many unnatural pregnancies.¡±

    ¡°Hey! Bingo! I¡¯m unreasonable. Are you going to retaliate?¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°Tell me the whereabouts of Doomsday and I¡¯ll believe you.¡±

    Steve was so furious he felt like wringing Zhao Yao¡¯s neck. However, he understood that he was the weaker one so he was unable to do anything to Zhao Yao.

    Steve suppressed his anger and said, ¡°Yes, we can help you find Doomsday. What about the Capitol Building...¡±

    ¡°No.¡±

    Steve said warily, ¡°We¡¯ve cleared our misunderstandings. There¡¯s no need to resort to violence...¡±

    ¡°I haven¡¯t cleared any misunderstandings,¡± Zhao Yao said. ¡°The Star Cats and Meteorite Fragments are still in your hands. I¡¯m warning you, if you don¡¯t surrender the cats and the fragments, I¡¯ll not be finished with you.¡± Zhao Yao hung up the phone.

    Steve could not help mming down the phone and shouted, ¡°I¡¯m unable to negotiate with him. How can I continue the negotiation? How can there be such a greedy, unscrupulous and uncouth person?¡±

    Anthony coaxed, ¡°Buck up Steve. Think of the consequences if you fail with the negotiation. First the Capitol Building, followed by the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial Hall, Mount Rushmore National Memorial Park, Empire State Building and everything on American soil will be destroyed by Zhao Yao.¡±

    Steve said helplessly, ¡°He¡¯s beyond unreasonable. Do we surrender our cats and the fragments to him? He¡¯ll be more brazen and have no scruples.¡±

    Steve¡¯s eyes flickered coldly as he said, ¡°Such a weak talk would not result in true peace. We have to let him know we can¡¯t defeat him but we can attack his kin, friends and cats.¡±

    The four Star Cats looked at each other and said, ¡°Fine, Steve, whatever ns you have be prepared for failure.¡±

    Merlin said, ¡°I can foretell Doomsday¡¯s location but we¡¯re not aware of your ns. Do you understand?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s what I hoped for,¡± Steve said. ¡°It¡¯s time I show Zhao Yao our true colors. We can¡¯t let him think that we are without teeth, otherwise we won¡¯t be able to negotiate with him.¡±

    Steve dialed a cell phone number and said, ¡°Hello? We failed in the negotiation. Follow my previous orders and give me a call once it¡¯s sessful.¡±

    The apostles, who were sent by the Star Cats to China, began their operation.

    In the basement, a man and woman who bribed the Cao Gang¡¯s Mao Mao, hung up their phones. Behind them were twenty Star Cats apostles.

    Before Zhao Yao went to the United States, the Star Cats had secretly sent a small section of apostles to avenge Sea Dragon¡¯s defeat.

    The n was to hit fast and furiously before Zhao Yao could react. To cut off his superpowers, they had to kidnap all the cats in the Cat Wondend. If they were unable to kidnap the cats, the order was to kill all of them.

    When Zhao Yao created trouble in the United States, he brought along his powerful supercats. The Star Cats ordered the apostles in China to lie low as a backup.

    ¡°Finally, it¡¯s our turn to act.¡± The female apostle, Ada, smiled and said, ¡°Zhao Yao¡¯s faraway in the United States and he brought along his powerful supercats. The Cat Wondend¡¯s his greatest weakness. We can use the cats here to ckmail him. I don¡¯t understand what the higher-ups are thinking. We could have acted earlier.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯tin Ada. As agents, our mission is to carry out orders. As for whether the orders are logical is not up to us.¡± A male apostle, Auvare, walked to the front of Mao Mao.

    The Cao Gang leader Mao Mao, the adjutant floret cat and Milk Tea were all tied to chairs.

    Mao Mao used his looks which was simr to Matcha and disguised himself as Matcha to kidnap Milk Tea.

    And the three cats were captured by Ada and Auvare.

    Seeing Auvare approach, Mao Mao¡¯s stuffed mouth emitted muffled noises as he screamed in his heart, ¡°What do you want?¡±

    The white cat on Auvare¡¯s shoulder shrugged his shoulders and said, ¡°Sorry brother, we¡¯re worried you may leak news so we have to imprison you. Once we deal with the Cat Wondend¡¯s cats, we¡¯ll release you.¡±

    After hearing the white cat, Milk Tea opened his eyes widely as he became agitated.

    Noticing Milk Tea¡¯s expression, Auvare said, ¡°You¡¯re Milk Tea? Tell us about Cat Wondend.¡±

    Milk Tea replied angrily, ¡°I¡¯m not going to tell you!¡±

    The white cat used his cell phone to trante Milk Tea¡¯s reply and Auvare smiled as he said, ¡°If you tell us, you can help us capture the cats. If not, we¡¯ll blow up Cat Wondend and kill all the cats inside. That¡¯s your fault...¡±

    Milk was inexperienced and was stunned by the death threats. He was full of tears as he stared at Auvare.

    Ada added, ¡°Think carefully, if they¡¯re captured, they will have a good life in the United States. Once we blow up Cat Wondend, they¡¯ll die.¡±

    Thinking of their horrible deaths, Milk Tea¡¯s eyes dripped with tears. He drooped his tail and asked, ¡°How could you do such things...¡±

    Auvare squatted down and caressed Milk Tea¡¯s body and said, ¡°This world¡¯s cruel. Anyone, at any ce and time, can die abruptly. Just like Cat Wondend¡¯s cats and you.¡±

    He rested his palm gently on Milk Tea¡¯s head and said, ¡°Only you can decide whether your friends live or die. No one can help you.¡±

    Milk Tea felt extremely helpless and shivered as he thought, ¡°Brother Matcha! Master Zhao! Where are you?¡±

    ¡°No, Master Zhao had gone to the United States. Now that I¡¯m kidnapped, there¡¯s no way Brother Matcha can find me.¡±

    ¡°If the Cat Wondend is rigged with a bomb and it explodes, only a few cats will live.¡±

    ¡°Help? What should I do?¡±

    ....

    After Zhao Yao hung up the phone, he gave Bai Quan a phone call.

    ¡°Hello Bai Quan, the Americans are likely to attack Cat Wondend. Prepare ording to our n.¡±

    Bai Quan nodded and said, ¡°Yes, I checked just now. Matcha and Milk Tea are missing.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s brow jumped as he said, ¡°Did you find them?¡±

    Bai Quan sniffed the cat fur in his hand and replied, ¡°There should be no problem. Matcha¡¯s not around so I¡¯m unable to borrow his superpower...¡±

    ¡°Use Cannon¡¯s superpower.¡± Zhao Yao smiled and said, ¡°Cannon¡¯s superpower is especially good against Americans.¡±

    ¡°I got it,¡± Bai Quan said. ¡°I¡¯m making a move now.¡±

    Zhao Yao reminded him, ¡°Be careful and take care of your safety. Survive and there¡¯s hope.¡± Surviving battles was Zhao Yao¡¯s guiding principle.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry Boss. I¡¯m pretty strong now.¡±

    Bai Quan gathered Cannon, Cat Sage, Doll, and Zhao Xue.

    Bai Quan stroked Cannon¡¯s head and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go and rescue Boss¡¯ cats.¡±

    Using Bai Quan¡¯s superior sense of smell, they located Milk Tea.

    Surveying the nearby basement, Baiquan said, ¡°Doll, send some nano robots to scout the basement. The priority is to locate Matcha and Milk Tea.¡±

    ¡°I got it.¡± Doll transmitted data to the nanorobots as they materialized from the air and sneaked into the basement. The robots searched the entire basement without being discovered by the apostles.

    ¡°We found a supercat and 22 apostles with unknown superpowers,¡± Doll said. ¡°We found Milk Tea and the people interrogating him about Cat Wondend. There are two cats besides Milk Tea. One¡¯s Matcha and the other¡¯s a floret cat.

    Doll had mistaken Mao Mao for Matcha.

    Doll¡¯s paws emitted rainbow rays that depicted the scenes in the basement.

    ¡°This basement room is an abandoned air raid shelter. There are three entrances and their locations are over here...¡±

    Bai Quan nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯ll protect Matcha and Milk Tea. Cat Sage, you¡¯ll...¡±

    After allocating the tasks, Bai Quan and Zhao Xue shed and vanished. Doll and Cat Sage looked at each other and nodded. They moved towards their nned positions.

    ....

    In the basement, Auvare caressed Milk Tea¡¯s head and smiled. ¡°Well, are you going to tell us and save your friends? Surviving is the most important. As long as they¡¯re alive, you¡¯ll have opportunities to save them in the United States.¡±

    Milk Tea¡¯s eyes drooped as he fell into sorrow and hesitation.

    Auvare wanted to take advantage of Milk Tea as he was gullible. If he knew of their superpowers, he would be able to capture the Wondend¡¯s cats with ease.

    A massive explosion was heard and a hole was blown open in the ceiling. Bai Quan¡¯s eyes lit up and his body emitted pure virgin power as he descended from the ceiling and grasped Auvare¡¯s head in his palm.

    Auvare screamed loudly in pain but his mouth was covered by Bai Quan. ¡°Shhh, don¡¯t shout.¡± He swept his hand and pulled Mao Mao, the adjutant floret cat and Milk Tea behind him.

    Bai Quan swept up Milk Tea, Mao Mao, and the floret cat behind him and nced at Auvare before gazing at Ada and the 21 apostles.

    After borrowing Cannon¡¯s superpower, his virgin power exploded. In Bai Quan¡¯s eyes, Auvare appeared dark and round like a huge hot air balloon.

    While he was grasping Auvare¡¯s head, his body cut into Auvare¡¯s dark balloon. If he moved a little, he would deal a fatal blow to Auvare.

    He warned Auvare not to struggle and scream, however, that was not possible.

    Auvare let out muffled sounds as he moved his limbs to activate his superpower. He wailed painfully and vomited white foam as he passed out.

    ¡°Why did you struggle?¡± Bai Quan shook his head and said to Ada and the apostles, ¡°Are you from the Star Cats? I don¡¯t like fighting to the death. If I leave with Milk Tea, will you pretend that nothing happened?¡±

    Ada sneered and said, ¡°Leave? You¡¯ll stay as well!¡±

    The 21 apostles attacked. Five of them pulled out their handguns and activated their Gun Control superpower. Bullets shot towards Bai Quan¡¯s dead spots like his brow, eyes, the back of his head and heart.

    The remaining apostles activated their superpowers. The air around Bai Quan¡¯s legs became mud, then steel tes that shrunk and constricted his movements.

    The apostles were able to transform the air into a bullet shield. With 15 of them activating the same superpower, they were able to twist a truck into a fried dough twist.

    The Natural Disaster Representative, Ada, activated her Sub-Zero superpower and transformed herself into an Ice Goddess. She brought with her a temperature of less than -100¡ãC as she flew towards Bai Quan.

    Ada and Auvare were Natural Disaster Representatives. They were able to teleport back to the Star Cats every 24 hours to borrow the Frost superpower from one of the pioneer Star Cats, Ace.

    They could also transform their body into pure ice and create a frost field of -100¡ãC.

    Auvare was ambushed and knocked out by Bai Quan before he could activate his superpower.

    Ada activated her superpower with full force. Her frosted body was immune to most attacks and she left a trail of frost wherever she went.

    If Bai Quan were to be hugged or touched by her, he would freeze like an ice cream stick and perish.

    Bai Quan straightened his back to brace himself against the attacks. He had no intention to dodge them.

    The bullet stormnded on his body and made popping sounds but they fell off harmlessly as Bai Quan¡¯s strong virgin power shielded his body.

    One or two stray bullets prated Bai Quan¡¯s defenses andnded on his well toned body. The bullets were distorted and fell to the ground without doing any harm.

    Even if the 15 apostles exerted their full efforts, they were unable to manipte the air to shift Bai Quan¡¯s legs an inch.

    Bai Quan shook his legs and leapt out of the constricting air. He pped his palm on the frosted Ada.

    ¡°Elemental ice? Normal physical attacks are useless against her, but ice is easily affected by air streams...¡±

    The muscles on Bai Quan¡¯s right arm rose up and expanded like huge dragons, creating an rming explosion that shot out an air stream towards Ada.

    Argh! Ada screamed as she flew back from the impact of the air stream. She gave a furious roar and struggled to fend off the air stream. She used all her strength but was unable to hold herself. She collided into the wall, freezing it, and leaving a trail of frost.

    She brushed against two of her apostles and froze them to death.

    Ada recovered herself and shouted angrily, ¡°Kill him!¡±

    At this moment, a loud bang was heard from another entrance. Cement blocks and steel columns copsed as the basement quaked. Threerge golden dragon heads peered out from the settling dust.

    The golden dragon bellowed as his head rose up and demolished thousand tons of cement floors above, exposing the basement to the sun.

    Large dragon eyes gazed at the apostles and his nose spat fire sparks. The dragon looked at the apostles as though they were choctes in the snack box. The apostles felt chills running up their spines.

    At the same time, explosions rang from the third entrance. The surrounding walls copsed and hundreds of Doll robots surrounded the apostles. The hands of the robots transformed into sma cannons that gave off threatening glows. The robots aimed their cannons at the apostles.

    The unconscious Auvare abruptly transformed into elemental ice and pounced on Bai Quan with his deadly frost.

    Auvare had only passed out just now and he waited for a chance to transform into elemental ice and ambush Bai Quan.

    When everyone was distracted by the Doll robots and the Tri-headed Golden Dragon, Auvarepleted his transformation and hugged Bai Quan.

    Bai Quan counterattacked by using his superior reflexes.

    He opened his mouth and spat out a monstrous air stream towards Auvare, stopping him in his tracks. Bai Quan brought the three cats behind him and teleported, retreating to a distance tens of meters away.

    Auvare wanted to attack again but two robots had fixed their aim on him. sma with ultra high temperature hit him squarely on his body.

    Amidst the painful wailing, Auvare was vaporized into snowkes. The ground underneath melted and formed magma-like substances.

    An Air Control apostle screamed in terror and created an air barrier around him as he ran outside. He did not run far as he was squished by the dragon¡¯s paw.

    Zhao Xue walked out from the shadows in her half-feline, half-human form. She was starting to like her cat ears and tail.

    ¡°You disposed of the enemies before I could show my skills. They are too weak.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate them, Zhao Xue.¡± Bai Quan looked at his frosted palm and said, ¡°With their superpowers, if they knew about our superpowers and ambushed us, besides Doll, I, you and Cat Sage could be seriously wounded.¡±

    Ada and the apostles were terrified by what they saw.

    Ada looked at Bai Quan, the Tri-headed Golden Dragon, and the silver robots as she could not take her defeat lying down.

    ¡°Besides Zhao Yao, there are so many strange creatures in Cat Wondend? Yet we intended to attack them? Those idiotic higher-ups! Don¡¯t they know that their intelligence was outdated by a few years?¡±

    Bai Quan, the Tri-headed Golden Dragon and the robots¡¯bat power were on par with the Natural Disaster Representatives. Although the feline girl did not fight, she looked powerful.

    Ada was most worried about the surrounding robots. A cannon shot from one of the robots killed Auvare. If they fired their cannons simultaneously, what kind of damage would they do?

    Bai Quan, who was always smiling, gave her an unfathomable feeling and she felt as though Bai Quan had figured out all her weaknesses.

    Ada could not figure how Bai Quan defeated Auvare.

    ¡°We... We surrender,¡± Ada said.

    Bai Quan nodded, put down the three cats, and teleported. Ada turned around and noticed that all the apostles had passed out on the floor.

    She heard Bai Quan say, ¡°All the apostles were knocked out. This woman can transform into elemental ice. Doll, do you have any idea of how to imprison her?¡±

    A robot, who was hugging arge can, came over, and disyed Doll¡¯s images. ¡°This is a can for storing liquid nitrogen. Use it to imprison her for the time being.¡±

    Bai Quan looked at Ada and frowned. ¡°Would you like to go into the can yourself or do you need my help?¡±

    ¡°B*stard!¡± Ada cursed furiously and transformed into snowkes that filled the entire can.

    Bai Quan heaved in relief, looked at Milk Tea, and caressed his head. ¡°Thank goodness Milk Tea¡¯s alright. Otherwise I¡¯ll incur the Boss¡¯ wrath.¡±

    Zhao Xue squatted down and looked at the trembling Mao Mao and his adjutant, who were hugging each other. She frowned and said, ¡°Is this cat Matcha? If he¡¯s Matcha, wouldn¡¯t he be flogging the corpses now?¡±

    Everyone stared at them, causing Mao Mao and his adjutant to hug each other tightly in terror.

    In their eyes, they were the monsters and devils of the Headless Horseman, Zhao Yao.

    Milk Tea said, ¡°He¡¯s the one who disguised himself as Matcha to kidnap me!¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡±

    The adjutant floret cat was overwhelmed by the fierce gazes sweeping over him and he fell to the ground, sobbing. ¡°It¡¯s all your fault!¡± He pointed at Mao Mao and shouted, ¡°I thought joining another gang or selling catmint was better!¡±

    ¡°Instead you wanted to be a killer!¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no profit! And we became kidnappers!¡±

    ¡°Shut up!¡± Mao Mao roared at his adjutant. He looked at Bai Quan and meowed, ¡°I know the Headless Horseman¡¯s rules. My money¡¯s under the cat dwelling. Take it!¡±

    The adjutant yelled, ¡°Gang leader! We can¡¯t lose the money! This is ourst bit of money. Without it, there¡¯s no Cao Gang!¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no more Cao Gang!¡± Mao Mao said, ¡°We are washing our hands off gang activities!¡±

    Bai Quan noticed the cats meowing pitifully and was puzzled as he asked, ¡°What are they saying?¡±

    ¡°They are iming to be pitiful...¡± Zhao Xue said. ¡°Bring them away.¡±

    The two cats panicked as Mao Mao shouted woefully, ¡°Don¡¯t take us to Cat Wondend! We don¡¯t want to be ves!¡±

    ¡°I know what Headless Horseman wants! Take my money! Please don¡¯t send me to Cat Wondend!¡±

    ...

    In the United States, Zhao Yao nodded after receiving a call from Bai Quan. Then he frowned and said, ¡°Milk Tea was rescued but Matcha¡¯s still missing?¡±

    Bai Quan said, ¡°Yes, I questioned the apostles and they said they only captured Milk Tea. They don¡¯t know where Matcha is.¡±

    ¡°Matcha!¡± Zhao Yao was troubled as he said, ¡°Perhaps he went gallivanting? Or the Star Cats sent another unit to capture him? Are you able to find him?¡±

    Bai Quan said helplessly, ¡°He left a lot of scents in Cat Wondend and the surrounding streets. I need more time to find him.¡±

    ¡°Fine, inform me once you find him.¡±

    Zhao Yao hung up the phone and thought, ¡°We didn¡¯t detect Matcha using Time Freeze or Regeneration so he wasn¡¯t captured by the Americans.¡±

    Remembering Matcha¡¯s yful behavior, Zhao Yao said, ¡°He¡¯s probably gallivanting somewhere.¡±

    Momentster, Zhao Yao¡¯s cell phone rang. It was Steve, whose tired voice came through and he said, ¡°We found Doomsday¡¯s location and I¡¯m sending you the information. Once you find him, you¡¯ll understand that it¡¯s a misunderstanding between us.¡±

    ¡°Hoho.¡± Zhao Yao was not going to go after them for Milk Tea¡¯s kidnapping as he felt it was more important to find Doomsday. He nodded after receiving Doomsday¡¯s location. He ced his supercats in the invisible Deflective Field and flew up into the sky, towards Doomsday¡¯s location.

    ...

    In a warehouse by the seaside, Doomsdayid on top of a pile of cat food cans while studying the world map happily on his cell phone.

    ¡°Excellent! The American birth rate increased. Isn¡¯t Japan next in line?¡±

    ¡°I heard their poption¡¯s shrinking. I¡¯ll help them increase their birth rate tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s difficult to control my location in the material world while traveling in the dreamscape.¡±

    Doomsday was not aware that the superpower he unknowingly obtained came from Arthas¡¯s Dream Dimension.

    He thought he discovered another superpower by mistake.

    ¡°As long as I continue, I¡¯ll make all the males pregnant once to achieve gender equality. Everyone will have their own children and the world bes better.¡±

    Doomsday fantasized about the future bliss. He did many things like creating the Star Cats and using his superpower to create pregnancies because of his ideals.

    He believed that there was meaning behind his superpower and it was not about power, wealth, influence. It was something greater and more important.

    As long as he used his superpower, everyone would understand the importance of life and their own happiness.

    Doomsday thought about the future and then started to eat the canned food.

    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I can¡¯t stay in the dream and work. I will still feel hungry and tired. I need to sleep and eat.¡± Doomsday was eating as he thought about his target. ¡°I need to do something big!¡±

    When Doomsday indulged in his big ns of maintaining world peace, Zhao Yao was two thousand meters above him. Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes and observed the warehouse.

    ¡°Doomsday seems to have the powers to travel in the dreamscape, although I don¡¯t know how he is doing it, but to catch him, I have to be fast. I cannot let him have the chance to escape.¡±

    Thinking of this, he couldn¡¯t help but to take out the Cat Princess Dress. He nned to use Time Freeze and Illusion to defeat Doomsday instantly.

    Upon seeing Zhao Yao wear the dress, Arthas, Volcano and Poseidon were stunned.

    They were chatting privately. Arthas was bewildered. ¡°Do... Doomsday¡¯s powers have this effect too? Except for pregnancy, it changes their self-awareness too?¡±

    Volcano was excited. ¡°This is so powerful, he actually twisted this devil¡¯s personality. Doomsday, you must not lose! Doomsday! You are the supercatsst hope!¡±

    Poseidon asked, ¡°What if he was originally like this? I heard that this is pretty popr nowadays.¡±

    Volcano was surprised. ¡°What? Really?¡±

    Arthas eximed. ¡°Humans are incredible animals.¡±

    ¡°Do not get influence by him Arthas!¡± Volcano yelled,¡±Or you will be perverted like him!¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao¡¯s cats were used to it.

    Ares sighed, ¡°It¡¯s here again. Zhao Yao¡¯s strongest form. I haven¡¯t seen it in a long time. Zhao Yao seems more and more natural with it.¡± He thought to himself, ¡°If I wear it, will I get stronger too?¡±

    Fish Ball look at Zhao Yao and nodded, ¡°Yeah.¡± He thought to himself.¡± Thest time I went home and wore Xiao Yu¡¯s clothes, I did not get stronger. What is the principle behind it?¡¯

    Dust Ball said, ¡°What is there toment about? The dress is so ugly, only the furless would wear it. Furthermore, it is a guy wearing a girl¡¯s clothes. It is too perverted.¡± Dust Ball looked at the male cats and asked, ¡°You guys don¡¯t have such thoughts right?¡±

    ¡°How is that possible?!¡± Fish Ball raged. ¡°I hate freaks who wear female clothing.¡±

    ¡°Yeah!¡± Ares joined in. ¡°What kind of cat do you think I am. I will never be like Zhao Yao!¡±

    Then, Zhao Yao turned and asked the cats, ¡°What are you guys talking about?¡±

    They shook their heads in unison. ¡°Nothing.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Sheriff suspiciously and Sheriff shook his head too. ¡°They didn¡¯t say anything.¡±

    Upon hearing Sheriff, all the cats sighed and were grateful towards Sheriff.

    Sheriff did it on purpose. He thought, ¡°My job will offend other cats too easily. Since the ancient times, cats like me haven¡¯t had good ends. I should befriend Zhao Yao¡¯s cats at appropriate times.¡±

    When the supercats were still gossiping, Zhao Yao wore his Cat Princess¡¯ Little Dress and was ready to attack.

    Then, in the frozen world, Zhao Yao flew down with the cats and entered the warehouse. He arrived in front of Doomsday.

    Looking at Doomsday and he recalled the photo that Star Cats gave him. He made aparison and confirmed.

    ¡°That¡¯s him, the orange Munchkin.¡±

    Then, he changed his Deflective Field to Illusion and controlled Doomsday.

    When time started flowing again, Doomsday realized that he could no longer control himself and he panicked.

    ¡°What is happening? Why can¡¯t I move?¡±

    A maliciousughter rang and Zhao Yao walked in front of Doomsday. ¡°Doomsday?¡±

    Doomsday looked at Zhao Yao and recognized him. ¡°It¡¯s you!¡± He watched Arthas¡¯s dreamscape many times, of course he would recognize Zhao Yao, who fought Arthas in the dreamscape.

    He also remembered that he gave Zhao Yao a kid.

    He looked at Zhao Yao who walk over menacingly and he asked nervously. ¡°What do you want!¡±

    Zhao Yao pointed at his stomach. ¡°Deactivate your powers.¡±

    Doomsday refused. ¡°No! Trust me, although you...¡±

    Zhao Yao did not give him the chance toplete his sentence and stabbed him in the tail with Dragon ying Saber.

    Then, Doomsday screamed intensely.

    It was not just the physical pain but the physiological blow.

    Doomsday was a supercat that wanted to bring about world peace with his powers. He was a supercat with ambition.

    Dragon ying Saber¡¯s test brought about a huge psychological damage.

    Hey on the floor in a daze. Zhao Yao squat down and said, ¡°Deactivate your powers.¡±

    ¡°No... no...¡± Even if he was tortured by the Saber, he still clenched his teeth and was unwilling to deactivate the powers.

    Arthas advised at the side. ¡°Doomsday, just give in! Do what he says! He will do anything to make you surrender!¡±

    Doomsday looked at the supercats behind Zhao Yao, especially the Star Cats then his eyes lit up and was determined. ¡°You can kill me. I will not give in.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes turned red and he activated the illusion¡ª Shit Wave.

    Doomsday vomited from the illusion.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Either you eat shit till you die or you deactivate the powers.¡±

    Doomsday was still unwilling. ¡°Don¡¯t think about it!¡±

    Zhao Yao was surprised. This was the first time he had met with such a strong cat.

    Under most circumstances, as long as he beat the cat up, used the Saber or Shit Illusion, it made any cat give in.

    However, Doomsday did not.

    All the supercats at the side were shocked too. They looked at Doomsday in awe. Although they were in awe, they still wanted to return back to normal.

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Why won¡¯t you?¡±

    Doomsday answered sacredly, ¡°For world peace.¡±

    ¡°Peace your head!¡± Ares pped Doomsday on the body and yelled, ¡°Turn me back to normal!¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Doomsday on the floor, who was in pain, and thought, ¡°Oh no... Is this cat mentally challenged?¡±

    He thought of the baby in his stomach and he asked patiently. ¡°What has this got to do with world peace?¡±

    Doomsday¡¯s eyes lit up and said, ¡°This is what you don¡¯t understand...¡±

    Zhao Yao listened to Dommsday exin his theory and he was bored out of his wits.

    After Doomsday talked about his visions and he looked at Zhao Yao in anticipation. ¡°Do you think I made sense?¡±

    Arthas was speechless, ¡°This again.¡±

    Volcano sighed too, ¡°He is acting up again.¡±

    However, Zhao Yao thought about it and said, ¡°Yes.¡±

    Doomsday was surprised. ¡°You think I make sense too? I knew it!¡±

    ¡°But...¡± Zhao Yao asked, ¡°There¡¯s something wrong with your theory.¡±

    Doomsday asked unbelievably, ¡°What is wrong?¡±

    Doomsday had thought about his theory for very long and felt that it was perfect. It was the best future for the world.

    Hence, when he heard that Zhao Yao said there was a w, he looked at Zhao Yao with disbelief.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Have you been pregnant?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    ¡°What...¡± Zhao Yao was scolding in his heart. ¡°Pervert.¡±

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°Then, did you raise him up?¡±

    Doomsday said, ¡°Nope. I gave birth to myself. It was to save myself. However, when I was a creator of Star Cats, I raised many kittens.¡±

    Zhao Yao was stunned and he said, ¡°It is not enough to just raise them. A lot of your targets are humans. You have to understand the human problem.¡±

    ¡°Think about it. If in this world, guys could give birth by themselves and women could give birth by themselves. Then, there would be less people who are willing to be married.¡±

    Doomsday listened and felt like it made sense.

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°Furthermore, with your powers, the guys would give birth to guys and the girls would give birth to girls. Then, the guys and girls no longer need each other to continue their lineage. Have you thought of the consequences?¡±

    Doomsday asked, ¡°What?¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed. ¡°Forget it. You would not understand either.¡±

    Doomsday was agitated. ¡°What do you mean by I would not understand? I have researched this for very long!¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head. ¡°If this continues, there will be world war soon. The end of the world ising.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Doomsday asked. ¡°Why? How could it be! Why would there be a world war?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at him and hesitated. ¡°Aye, forget it. If I say, it will only make you feel guilty.¡±

    Doomsday said, ¡°You¡¯re pretending...¡±

    ¡°Aye!¡± Zhao Yao sighed. ¡°If this continues, you will be notorious.¡±

    ¡°You!¡± Doomsday stared at Zhao Yao said, ¡°Tell me! Why will I be notorious?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°You have been using this power often, haven¡¯t you felt that the world feels different? That there are a lot of negative changes?¡±

    Doomsday was lost. ¡°Negative changes? Talking about negative changes...¡±

    ¡°A lot of people don¡¯t look happy after they are pregnant.¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± Zhao Yao wasining in his heart. ¡°Which guy would be happy about pregnancy?¡± he yelled. ¡°That¡¯s it. That¡¯s because it¡¯s an asexual pregnancy. It causes a gender split and social unrest. Now, the fact that more and more people are unhappy, it¡¯s a sign.¡±

    ¡°Really? Gender split?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± Zhao Yao said. ¡°Ever since you have been pregnant, don¡¯t you feel like you don¡¯t want to look for female cats anymore?¡±

    ¡°Rubbish.¡± Doomsday denied. ¡°I still like female cats.¡±

    ¡°Like?¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°Then show me.¡± And in the illusion, a Elizabeth walked over.

    Zhao Yao pointed at the illusion of Elizabeth and said, ¡°Go ahead and do it.¡±

    ¡°Why not!¡± Doomsday snorted and went up to the female cat. However, he was dawdling and did not seed.

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Why? You can¡¯t?¡±

    ¡°Wait,¡± Doomsday asked nervously. ¡°I need some time to prepare.¡±

    ¡°All this is bullshit.¡± Zhao Yao sneered in his heart. ¡°In my illusion, all his five senses are under my control. I control if he can do it or not. Hahahaha...¡±

    Sheriff was sweating. ¡°Are you a monster?¡±

    He prepared for a while and fell onto the floor in despair. ¡°Why can¡¯t I do it?¡±

    The illusion Elizabeth looked at Doomsday in disgust and walked away slowly. ¡°Rubbish.¡±

    It was a heavy blow to the already depressed Doomsday.

    Zhao Yao said slowly, ¡°Don¡¯t you understand? This is the consequence of males giving birth. You will be more uninterested in female cats and then, you will bepletely uninterested. You will like male cats instead.¡±

    Doomsday was shocked. ¡°What? Then... what should I do?¡±

    ¡°There shouldn¡¯t be anymore pregnancies.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°Every time you are pregnant, it will get worse. Not just you, all the people who are affected by your powers will be like that. Then, males and females will be opponents and there will be a social division. Then, a war.¡±

    ¡°I understand,¡± Doomsday said. ¡°I need to deactivate my powers! But what about those who already gave birth?¡±

    ¡°Erm, there is nothing we can do about that minority. Now, you just have to help the ones who have not given birth.¡± Zhao Yao nodded satisfyingly. ¡°Like me.¡±

    Hence, Zhao Yao released a bit of Doomsday¡¯s control and let Doomsday deactivate the control on Ares, Elizabeth and the other supercats.

    Zhao Yao touched his stomach that had returned back to normal and rxed.

    Doomsday said, ¡°Okay! Let me go! I need to deactivate the pregnancy on others!¡±

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°How are you nning to do it?¡±

    Doomsday said, ¡°Through the dreamscape.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°If I let him go through the dreamscape then I would not have control of him anymore.¡±

    Zhao Yao was unwilling to let him go so easily and lose control.

    ¡°Doomsday¡¯s powers are too dangerous. I should keep him beside me and bring him back to Old Cat to brainwash him, after we settle the Star Cats incident. Then, we can slowly deactivate the powers on the others.¡±

    ¡°Furthermore, isn¡¯t this guy a creator of Star Cats? Maybe he has some useful intel then I can settle Star Cats once and for all.¡±

    Then, he asked Elizabeth to control Doomsday and chat with Doomsday while he used Sheriff¡¯s powers to collect more intel on the Star Cats headquarters.

    Of course the other creators were no longer in the headquarters. After all Doomsday had been jailed for so long, Zhao Yao caused such a big chaos in America and caught 5 creators.

    Many of the intel that Doomsday knew was no longer relevant, but Zhao Yao believed that if he searched with that information, he would be able to find the rest of the Star Cats.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s expression turned serious after listening to the information Sheriff read.

    Other than the Star Cats intel, he got to know more about the asexual pregnancy situation.

    The Dream Dimension was chaotic and disordered. Without dreamscape, there was no concept of time and dimension.

    During this period of time Doomsday had been running around countless people¡¯s dreamscapes and activated his powers. There were at least a hundred thousand humans and cats pregnant asexually.

    Furthermore, the process was elerated and who knew when they would give birth.

    If he left the matter alone, it would cause great disruption in society.

    Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°The Star Cats issue can be settledter, however, these men and male cat¡¯s lives are at stake.¡±

    After thinking about it, Zhao Yao decided to bring Doomsday back to Jianghai and asked Old Cat to brainwash him. Then, he could go back to the dream dimension and deactivate his powers.

    He flew back to Cat Wondend with supersonic speed and found Old Cat without anyone knowing.

    ¡°Old Cat, I have an important task for you.¡±

    Old Cat looked at Zhao Yao, who appeared suddenly and asked in bewilderment. ¡°What do you want from me?¡±

    Zhao Yao exined the situation and continued, ¡°I will ce Doomsday in front of you for you to brainwash him. Make him go out and deactivate his powers for the humans and supercats. I know that your brainwashing powers onlyst for 24 hours, so don¡¯t forget to ask him toe back every 20 hours. Understand?¡±

    Zhao Yao understood the powers of Doomsday and knew that he could roam around freely in a dreamscape and cast powers in it. The action of going through a dreamscape was not restrained by time and space, so it would be hard to track him.

    After saying all of this, Zhao Yao pointed at Sheriff and said, ¡°You know what Sheriff¡¯s powers are. I will bring him along when you are brainwashing Doomsday, so you better not have funny thoughts.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at his watch and said, ¡°Of course, I know that it is difficult to control your thoughts. I will give you five minutes to calm down and think of whatever you want. Understand?¡±

    Old Cat nodded and typed, ¡°I understand. What kind of thoughts can I have? I promise to finish the task.¡±

    Although Old Cat always had a great performance and obeyed Zhao Yao¡¯s rules of not messing around with his powers, the power of brainwashing was too strong and strange, especially since Cat Wondend had many strong supercats. If his brainwashing powers were used badly, they could be as strong as a nuclear weapon.

    Therefore, Zhao Yao used Old Cat¡¯s powers with great caution.

    He watched Old Cat talk to the Dream Dimension for half an hour and added all the objectives and prerequisites. Then, Doomsday disappeared in front of Zhao Yao and entered the Dream Dimension with the objective of deactivating his powers.

    Arthas eximed, ¡°He can travel through the Dream Dimension as he pleases? How did Doomsday do it?¡± Arthas was shocked. ¡°I cannot even do that. What did Doomsday experience? If I had such powers, I would never have been caught by Zhao Yao. I could have defeated him and stabbed him with the saber everyday...¡±

    Zhao Yao pped Arthas on the head and said, ¡°I will give you a chance to reorganize your thoughts.¡±

    Arthas thought to himself, ¡°How will I be able to fight Zhao Yao. I am just a cute household pet. I really think too much.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the disappearing Doomsday and thought, ¡°This is so troublesome. I will have to dy my American ns. Aye, the Americans will have to wait.¡±

    At first Zhao Yao wanted to go to America, harvest experience points, collect supercats, and meteorite fragments. So he could increase his capabilities, defeat Project X, and help Roly Poly and the others recover.

    However, he could not leave the Doomsday incident alone. He could only push back the ns for America.

    Arthas raised his head and he felt a strange frequency radiating in the Dream Dimension. ¡°It¡¯s so weird.¡±

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°What happened?¡±

    Arthas said, ¡°I can feel that something happened in the Dream Dimension. Something has been changed. Do you want to bring me and check it out?¡±

    Of course Zhao Yao would not agree to such things. It would be another round of trouble if Arthas was connected to the Dream Dimension again. Furthermore, it was at such a crucial time where Dream Dimension was recovering the victims under Old Cat¡¯s control.

    In the Dream Dimension where Zhao Yao and Arthas could not see. There was a vision looking at Dream Dimension curiously.

    ...

    Just when Zhao Yao was controlling Doomsday to recover the victims.

    At a district in Jianghai, in a cardboard cat bed. Matcha was lying on the ground and letting out screams.

    Outside the cat bed, Bai Quan¡¯s voice sounded, ¡°Matcha? Are you Matcha?¡±

    Matcha was anxious and shocked. ¡°Why did Bai Quane over here?¡±

    Bai Quan was outside the cardboard and said, ¡°Milk Tea! What are you doing here? Boss asked me to look for you. He is worried about you. And Milk Tea was kidnapped. Did you know that? Thankfully we found him.¡±

    Bai Quan followed Zhao Yao¡¯s orders and tracked Matcha down.

    Matcha was surprised. ¡°Zhao Yao was worried about me? Milk Tea was kidnapped? At least he is back now. But, I am too ashamed to see anyone now.¡±

    Meanwhile, Bai Quan squat down and looked into the cat bed. He saw Matcha lying on the ground with his mouth open and looked very ufortable.

    Bai Quan was shocked and asked, ¡°Matcha, what happened to you? Are you sick?¡±

    When he saw that Bai Quan was going to pick him up, Matcha yelled, ¡°Don¡¯t touch me!¡±

    Bai Quan was bewildered. ¡°Why?¡± Then, he passed the phone in front of Matcha and said, ¡°If you have any problems, type it out. I will ask Boss to help you.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t ask Zhao Yao toe over!¡± Matcha typed.

    ¡°Why?¡± Bai Quan asked, ¡°If you won¡¯t tell me why, I will ask Boss toe over now.¡±

    Matcha typed helplessly, ¡°I am about to give birth...¡±

    Bai Quan was in shock. ¡°What?¡±

    However, there was no time for them to continue to chat. Matcha screamed and a w reached out from his mouth.

    Bai Quan said, ¡°Use your strength!¡±

    Matcha. ¡°I¡¯m about to vomit my stomach out!¡±

    Bai Quan continued. ¡°Come on Matcha, one of the hind legs are out already!¡±

    Matcha screamed, ¡°Shut up!¡±

    Unfortunately, Bai Quan did not understand Matcha¡¯s meows.

    ¡°Wait, wait a minute.¡± Bai Quan looked at the phone screen and said, ¡°This says that if the hind leg of the kitten is out first, it¡¯s Dystocia. It will get stuck.¡±

    Matcha rolled his eyes and cursed inside. ¡°I am giving birth with my mouth. How can it be the same?¡±

    Bai Quan spoke with a nervous look, ¡°It says to push back then pull it out again.¡±

    Matcha screamed, ¡°No! Hurry up and drag him out... Boohooo... ¡±

    Bai Quan who could not understand cat talk tried to push. He pushed the kitten back by a bit then slowly pulled it out.

    Matcha shrieked non-stop, ¡°No! I can¡¯t do this! I don¡¯t want to give birth anymore! Caesarean! I want a caesarean!¡±

    Bai Quan said, ¡°Matcha harder! I can see the head already!¡±

    An hourter, Matchay on the floor dead. His eyes were lifeless and lost their focus. He looked withered and said, ¡°What did I just go through? My mouth no longer feels like mine.¡±

    Bai Quan beside him said, ¡°Matcha, the little kitten you gave birth is so cute. Do you want to take a look?¡±

    Matcha stared lifelessly and said dejectedly, ¡°Ahh I¡¯m so miserable.¡± He sent the message on his phone with his paws after he saying that.

    Bai Quan was speechless. ¡°Take a look at the child. Maybe your mood will get better after looking at him.¡±

    Matcha gave a zombie-like whining, ¡°Ahhh I¡¯m so miserable.¡±

    Smiling at Matcha, Bai Quan said, ¡°Look, this is your son.¡±

    Matcha spoke, ¡°Son?¡± His eyes lit up, with numerous touching scenes of parent-child cats huddling together in movies and television series shing though his mind.

    ¡°Oh this is my son.¡±

    Matcha looked down at the little kitten twisting about in his arms and asked, ¡°Why is he covered in blood?¡±

    Bai Quan replied, ¡°Oh, that¡¯s the blood from your mouth, not his.¡±

    Matcha cried out, ¡°Ah I¡¯m so miserable.¡±

    Bai Quan looked at Matcha lying on the floor dead and thought. ¡°He looks really depressed.¡± He then said, ¡°Matcha, do you want me to call everyone in Cat Wondend toe and visit you? There is no way you can work like this. You must rest for a few days.¡±

    Meow!

    Matcha immediately spiked up and typed into his phone rapidly. ¡°Do not tell anybody! Bai Quan! You must swear never to tell anyone about this. This thing shall rot in your stomach forever! Or else I¡¯ll kill you, little brat!¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Bai Quan reluctantly nodded his head.

    ¡°No! You must swear never to speak of it! If you leak out whatever happened today, you must give birth to a kitten as well.¡±

    Bai Quan had nothing to respond.

    Matcha said, ¡°Hurry up and swear!¡±

    Looking at Matcha who was looking at him pitifully, Bai Quan reluctantly said, ¡°I swear to...¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s enough,¡± Bai Quan suddenly asked. ¡°Who is the father of that kitten?¡± However after seeing the anger on Matcha¡¯s face, Bai Quan quickly nodded his head and said, ¡°Okay okay, I won¡¯t ask anymore.¡±

    Tsk! Matcha suddenly drew breath and looked down at the little orange kitten and said, ¡°Why did he bite me?¡±

    Bai Quanughed and said, ¡°He is looking for milk to drink.¡±

    Matcha reached out his paws and pped the little orange kitten¡¯s head and shouted, ¡°Go away!¡±

    The little orange kitten shrank back frightened and starting crying with his eyes closed.

    Bai Quan said, ¡°Okay okay, don¡¯t be mad, I¡¯ll buy goat milk powder to feed him. Oh yeah, I suppose you don¡¯t have milk?¡±

    Matcha texted him a look: ¡°¨i_¨i...¡±

    After looking at the expression on the screen, Bai Quan said, ¡°Okay understood. I¡¯ll buy goat milk powder.¡±

    After Bai Quan left, Matcha continued to lie on the bed with a fallen apart expression. Hearing the little cat¡¯s miserable calls, he could not help but turned to look at the little orange cat sniffing around in the air while crying miserably with his eyes closed.

    Matcha reluctantly carried him and said, ¡°Okay, you can hug me, but do not bite me again.¡±

    The little orange cat crawled into Matcha¡¯s arms and immediately quieted, shifting around with a face of contentment as though he was still looking for the position to drink milk.

    ...

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao was hiding and monitoring Doomsday fixing his victims.

    Spending an entire week¡¯s time, traveling across the dreamscapes, most of the victims finally recovered. The destruction caused by Doomsday was alsopletely restored.

    Zhao Yao looked at where Doomsday had disappeared and spoke to himself: This should be thest trip, there should not be anymore victims after this.

    With a sigh of relief, Zhao Yao looked to Arthas beside him and asked, ¡°How? Can you see anything? Can other supercats replicate the power of Doomsday?¡±

    When Zhao Yao first knew that Doomsday got his powers aftering into contact with the Dream Dimension, he wanted Arthas to take a look at it to see if it was possible to replicate this power.

    However, Arthas shook his head and said, ¡°No, his situation is too special. It is a coincidence in a coincidence. The power in Dream Dimension is very violent, chaotic and filled with uncertainty. It ispletely different from the material world. I have no idea how to make it merge like Doomsday.¡±

    ¡°Oh is it?¡± Zhao Yao nodded and thought to himself that he would wait till Doomsdaypleted thest batch then he would go to the United States to continue collecting experience points and meteorite fragments.

    ¡°Wait till the fragments in the United States are all collected, Elizabeth or Dust Ball can be leveled up to LV10. If more tasks arepleted maybe both Elizabeth and Dust Ball can be upgraded to LV10, some of the other cats can also be upgraded to LV9.

    Including the skill points from collecting Meteorite Fragments, two of the skill points can even be upgraded.¡±

    ¡°Along with the Divination cat in Star Cats.¡± Zhao Yao spoke to himself: Can the stocks be predicted? Our fortune will depend on him.

    While Zhao Yao was ttered thinking about the ie in the future, Doomsday suddenly appeared from the void of space but only half of him appeared, looking at Zhao Yao horrified he said, ¡°Save me!¡±

    Zhao Yao grabbed his paws and asked, ¡°What¡¯s happening!¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s something...¡± Doomsday panicked and screamed, ¡°Something is catching me in the dream!¡±

    Snapping sounds sounded while he was speaking and Doomsday¡¯s body started to dissipate.

    Doomsday screamed, ¡°He is dragging me away! Save me!¡±

    Although Zhao Yao really wanted to save Doomsday his body was not dragged or pushed away, instead it was going into the Dream Dimension. He had no relevant superpower and can only look to Arthas beside him and said, ¡± Quick, do something!¡±

    Arthas frowned and said, ¡°This is not the connection between Dream Dimension and the material world, I cannot enter.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Doomsday helplessly, fished out a spicy cat strip and fed it to Doomsday. ¡°Eat it!¡±

    Doomsday did not know what Zhao Yao fed him but he ate it in the situation of chaos.

    Then, his body flickered and burst out a huge cloud of white smoke.

    When the white smoke disappeared, Doomsday also disappeared, leaving behind a pink airne cup in his spot.

    Arthas looked at this scene shockingly and said, ¡°What is this?¡±

    Doomsday was shocked as well, vibrating as he said, ¡°What happened to me? What have I be?¡±

    Seeing Doomsday quivering, Zhao Yao¡¯s body trembled and the corners of his mouth could not help but tilt up.

    Doomsday immediately said, ¡°Zhao Yao! Are youughing?¡±

    Zhao Yao suppressed his body¡¯s movements and said seriously, ¡°No, I¡¯ve no reason tough.¡±

    ¡°Are you denying? The corners of your lips are almost touching your ears!¡± Doomsday said anxiously. ¡°What did you change me into?¡±

    Ares, Fish Ball, Dust Ball, Elizabeth and Lightning gathered curiously and sniffed the new object.

    Fish Ball said, ¡°It¡¯s a huge and thick stick. What weapon is that?¡±

    ¡°Idiot, how can a weapon be so short?¡± Ares¡¯ nose sniffed as he said, ¡°I smell batteries, this must be a torch!¡±

    Elizabeth put her head on the object and looked at the notch as she said, ¡°I have used a torchlight before. It doesn¡¯t look like this and there¡¯s no such notch.¡±

    Lightning¡¯s expression changed and he felt like a fish out of water as he said softly, ¡°Isn¡¯t this that airne...¡±

    He felt a strong murderous intent and turned his head to see Zhao Yao staring at him gravely.

    Elizabeth asked, ¡°Lightning, do you know what this is?¡±

    Lightningughed loudly and said, ¡°I¡¯m only a Pas cat. What do I know? I¡¯m just guessing.¡±

    Cannon shouted excitedly, ¡°I know, I know! This is...¡±

    Bam! Cannon passed out on the ground, his mouth dripping white foam. Lightning shook his head and thought, ¡°You are too inexperienced Cannon. To survive in Cat Wondend, one has to learn to read Zhao Yao¡¯s mood. If you can¡¯t do that, how long can you survive?¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled as he said, ¡°Stop guessing. It¡¯s a cup for drinking.¡±

    Arthas walked up and examined the airne cup structure curiously. He said in surprise, ¡°Why is the cup uneven inside? The capacity¡¯s very small.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°It¡¯s to prevent water from leaking out. Stop examining it. It¡¯s just a cup. There¡¯s nothing special...¡±

    Arthas examined Doomsday curiously and said in astonishment, ¡°There¡¯s water inside. What water is that?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°There¡¯s water inside?¡±

    ¡°Let me taste it.¡± Arthas lifted up the cup to drink.

    Zhao Yao immediately said, ¡°Don¡¯t drink...¡±

    Arthas gulped down the water and finished it. He licked the cup and said, ¡°It tastes like normal water, except for that sticky feel.¡±

    Zhao Yao covered his face and said softly, ¡°How can it not be sticky...¡±

    Arthas eximed in shock, ¡°What! My stomach¡¯s bing bigger!¡±

    As Arthas was forced intobour, Zhao Yao transformed Doomsday back to cat form. Doomsday immediately reverted Arthas¡¯s pregnancy.

    Doomsday shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao! What did you change me into? Why am I quivering uncontrobly?¡±

    Arthas said fearfully, ¡°Zhao Yao! What superpower is that? You transformed Doomsday into a cup! And I became pregnant after drinking the water! If I pour the water into the river, won¡¯t many people and animals be pregnant?!¡±

    ¡°Normal people don¡¯t drink the water...¡± Zhao Yao said. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this. I transformed Doomsday because you¡¯ve got no solution.¡±

    He turned his head to look at Doomsday and asked, ¡°What happened? Who¡¯s chasing after you?¡±

    All the supercats¡¯ attention were focused on Doomsday as he replied fearfully, ¡°There¡¯s a strange cat in the Dream Dimension. That cat is powerful. I¡¯m unable to outrun him. He waited for a long time to make his move, otherwise I would have been captured by him...¡±

    ¡°Strange cat?¡± Zhao Yao said. ¡°Arthas, didn¡¯t you say that nobody could replicate Doomsday¡¯s ability to travel in Dream Dimension?¡±

    Arthas shrugged his shoulders and said, ¡°God knows. Superpowers are strange and unpredictable. I¡¯m not surprised if there are ten other superpowers that allow travels in Dream Dimension.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Doomsday and asked, ¡°Describe in detail the cat¡¯s looks.¡±

    Doomsday said, ¡°He¡¯s a strange cat with blue fur and he stands on his hind legs. Yes, his five ws are nimble like your human fingers...¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s gaze froze when he heard the description. An illusion of Project X in his initial form appeared before him.

    ¡°Does he look like this?¡±

    Doomsday squinted his eyes to observe the illusion. He nodded and said, ¡°Yes, yes, yes, that¡¯s the kind of cat but the face and body shape are different. They are not the same. Is this a new breed of cat?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s heart felt heavy. He ordered Elizabeth, Sheriff and the other cats to watch over Doomsday. He activated his Extradimensional Belly superpower and asked Project X, ¡°Hey, are there simr cats like yourself out there?¡±

    Project X, who was motionless like a rock, opened his eyes abruptly and replied telepathically, ¡°You met a cat that looks like me?¡± Project X sounded nervous.

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°What¡¯s his superpower?¡±

    Project X remained silent as though he was thinking hard.

    Zhao Yao was not going to give up asking as a supercat that could travel in Dream Dimension was dangerous. Especially when Zhao Yao did not have any superpowers that could control the dreamscape. He had to know his enemy¡¯s superpower beforehand.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Project X, tell us honestly. Otherwise I¡¯ll fill up the dimension with dog poo so that you can evolve to eat poo.¡±

    Dust Ball protested strongly and Zhao Yao immediately caressed her to calm her down.

    Project X sighed in the Extradimensional Belly. He seemed to recall some stuff and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know his superpower.¡±

    Zhao Yao said furiously, ¡°You...¡±

    ¡°Our supercat race is all over the universe. I¡¯m not the only one.¡±

    Zhao Yao was shocked and his eyes lit up. ¡°You¡¯re not the only one?¡±

    ¡°Are they more powerful than you?¡± Zhao Yao asked impatiently.

    ¡°Haha, what do you think?¡± Project X smiled and said, ¡°Do you know the source of power for the superpower?¡±

    After listening to Project X¡¯s scornful tone, Zhao Yao opened the portal and stabbed him with the Dragon ying Saber.

    Project X screamed in pain as he copsed to the ground. Zhao Yao said condescending, ¡°Do you know this saber¡¯s source of power?¡±

    Project X looked at the surrounding void fearfully. He was astonished by Zhao Yao¡¯s numerous superpowers and he could not figure out why Zhao Yao could switch between so many superpowers.

    Zhao Yao looked bewildered at Project X. ¡°He passed the Dragon ying verification. Is he able to use superpowers?¡±

 Chapter 884: Harvesting Plan

    <h4>Chapter 884: Harvesting n</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    The pain of the saber cut made Project X realize his predicament. Project X exined, ¡°Superpowers derives their energy from superpower DNA which was found in my body. This superpower DNA allows all life to use other dimensional energies. These energies are the source of superpowers.¡±

    ¡°Wait,¡± Zhao Yao said. ¡°Didn¡¯t the Meteorite cause the Awakening of superpowers?¡±

    Project X said, ¡°The Meteorite stimted the supercats¡¯ potential because it carried my superpower DNA. My superpower DNA uses the bodies of various cats on Earth to awaken different superpowers.

    We share the same blood type. After absorbing my superpower DNA, they are able to connect to energies from other dimensions to control and develop their superpowers.¡±

    ¡°This is my superpower harvesting n,¡± Project X said. ¡°I was sent to Earth the moment I was born. My purpose for existence is to allow the supercats on Earth to develop their superpowers from my superpower DNA so that I can harvest their superpowers.¡±

    ¡°Why does this sound like the creation of a weapon?¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought, ¡°What about me? Does my Book have superpowers?¡± He recalled his initial awakening of his superpowers.

    ¡°Perhaps Matcha bit me? And transferred the superpower DNA into my body? Isn¡¯t that too coincidental?¡±

    ¡°Is Project X telling the truth?¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head to dismiss his thoughts. He asked Project X doubtfully, ¡°The Earth cats and you share the same blood type? Are you saying that cats are aliens?¡±

    ¡°Maybe, I¡¯m not sure. When I gained awareness, Earth was close by. I had vast knowledge of supercats and a superpower harvesting n in my memories. My thoughts were imnted with this order¡ªto carry out this harvesting n.¡±

    Project X shook his head and said, ¡°We won¡¯t like the ending of the n. If they discover you, what do you think they¡¯ll do to you?¡±

    Project X said gravely, ¡°Zhao Yao, we¡¯re now in the same boat. To fight against these unknown entities, we have to cooperate with each other.¡±

    ¡°Since you¡¯ve met the supercat that looked like me, did you fight with him?¡±

    ¡°Nope.¡± Zhao Yao was digesting Project X¡¯s information. He took a while before replying, ¡°He¡¯s able to travel in the dreamscape. He tried to capture my cats in their dreams but he failed.¡±

    ¡°Dreamscape?¡± Project X was puzzled and Zhao Yao decided to tell him the details as he was already imprisoned in the Extradimensional Belly.

    Project X said, ¡°That¡¯s not the dreamscape, it¡¯s the Awareness Dimension.¡±

    Zhao Yao said bewildered, ¡°What? Not the Dream Dimension?¡±

    ¡°The names are different. The material realm is only part of the universe¡¯s ten dimensions. The remaining dimensions are dark and mysterious. The superpowers¡¯ effect on the material realm was derived from the various dimensions¡¯ energies.

    The Awareness Dimension was created from the awareness of all life in the universe and dreams were means of the manifestation of awareness in the material realm.¡±

    Zhao Yao was in a daze as he muttered, ¡°Oh, I understand now.¡±

    Project X said with concern, ¡°Your cats attracted their attention when they traveled in the Awareness Dimension. There¡¯s no concept of distance and time in the Awareness Dimension. Since they found your cats, they are able to travel unlimited distance and focus their awareness on Earth.¡±

    Project X said, ¡°The Awareness Dimension is used to retrieve me after Iplete my harvesting. That¡¯s the only dimension that I know of besides the material realm.

    Project X did not expect the entities to discover Earth that fast because he did not think that the Earth supercats were able to evolve and travel in the Awareness Dimension.

    He was unable to travel to other dimensions, not even the supercats who were pursuing Doomsday. They were only able to travel in the Awareness Dimension.

    ¡°If Project X¡¯s telling the truth, then a powerful alien force could have discovered Earth?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s mind started postting. ¡°The aliens are treating Earth like a superpower harvesting field? If they discover my Book, what will they do?¡±

    ¡°If they capture Doomsday, Matcha, Elizabeth, and the rest...¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up with cold rays as he recognized the alien force as foes.

    Project X said, ¡°Zhao Yao, release me so that I can help you. Your superpowers are powerful but you are no match for them. We have to cooperate...¡±

    Zhao Yao switched from the Extradimensional Belly to Time Freeze and stopped discussing with Project X. To Project X, the alien force behind the superpower harvesting n was unfathomable and impossible to defeat.

    To Zhao Yao, as long as the Book continued upgrading, he was confident of defeating all enemies.

    ¡°I¡¯ve to buck up. I¡¯ve yet to harvest experience points and supercats from the Americans,¡± Zhao Yao thought. ¡°Alien cats... they¡¯re all cats. I¡¯ll capture them as theye.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll capture the Star Cats, treat Roly Poly, and revive Sphynx cat.¡±

    Zhao Yao had always looked down on his enemies psychologically while overestimating his enemies tactically. He was extremely wary of the Awareness Dimension¡¯s power.

    ¡°I¡¯ll contract the next supercat with a dream-rted superpower.¡±

    After he ended his conversation with Project X, he was surprised when he noticed Doomsday. ¡°Why is Doomsday sleeping? Wake him up.¡±

    Arthas walked up to Doomsday and patted his head. ¡°Hey Doomsday, wake up. Enough sleeping.¡±

    Doomsday opened his eyes and nced at Arthas. As he smiled, he vanished into thin air.

    Zhao Yao activated Time Freeze as Doomsday disappeared. He grabbed where Doomsday was but it was in vain. His disappearance was too sudden.

    Zhao Yao was astounded and deactivated Time Freeze. He turned his head and looked at Arthas and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Arthas was dumbstruck as he said, ¡°Doomsday traveled in the Dream Dimension... and left.¡±

    ¡°How is that possible? Why did he leave?¡± Zhao Yao was puzzled and said, ¡°He was clearly afraid of that strange cat.¡±

 Chapter 885: Contracting Diana

    <h4>Chapter 885: Contracting Diana</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    All the cats were terrified and astonished the moment Doomsday disappeared.

    In the chaotic Awareness Dimension, three invisible forces of energy collided with each other.

    Each time they collided, huge masses of information exchanged between them.

    ¡°I caught the target. It has the ability of traversing the Awareness Dimension and creating forced pregnancies.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s so rare for a subspecies to have such abilities.¡±

    ¡°This ability is very useful for us. It can speed up the breeding of subspecies and increase the production of superpowers. I will bring him back. What do the two of you n to do next?¡±

    ¡°I want to stay here and y for a while more.¡±

    ¡°Me too. This looks pretty interesting. I have found a way to incorporate the dawn of awareness here.

    ...

    In the material world, Zhao Yao sniffed hard at the air around him. However, he could not smell the scent of any unfamiliar cats. He quickly switched to the extradimensional belly and asked Project X about the situation.

    Project X said, ¡°It¡¯s the dawn of awareness. They can infiltrate the dreamscape to upy the awareness of other lives. Your cats¡¯ awareness must have been upied, taking away their ability to traverse the dreamscape.¡±

    Zhao Yao grinded his teeth before he said, ¡°They can upy our awareness as long as we enter our dreams? Is there no way to stop this?¡±

    Project X replied, ¡°They have stronger and better control over the energy in the Awareness Dimension, which you don¡¯t have. You can only activate your superpowers with your innate capabilities. Since you¡¯re fighting against them in the Awareness Dimension, you will naturally be powerless against them.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded. He understood that the current situation was worse than he had expected. He did not know what the other party would do after taking Doomsday with them. Zhao Yao decided to speed up his original n to take over the Star Cats, collect the meteorite fragments, treat Roly Poly, and revive Sphynx cat.

    Zhao Yao looked at Project X again and asked, ¡°Do you know how to gain control of the Awareness Dimension?¡±

    Project X shook his head, ¡°Do you think they will actually impart this ability to me? As long as I do not have the power to control the Awareness Dimension, I will be powerless against them no matter how great my destructive power is in the material world. This was the only reason why they were assured enough to let me out.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and looked at his Book panel. He began to think whether he could contract a supercat with a connection to the dreamscape and level up the supercat to see if it could gain the ability to control the Awareness Dimension.

    Book: Level 7 (70 217/50 000)

    Matcha: Level 8 (12 510/50 000)

    Elizabeth: Level 9 (6 300/100 000)

    Dust Ball: Level 9 (5 600/100 000)

    Ares: Level 8 (5 600/50 000)

    Lucifer: Level 8 (700/50 000)

    Sphynx Cat: Level 7 (5 700/20 000)

    Catherine: Level 8 (700/50 000)

    ¡°I can directly level up the Book now. However, that would leave me with around 20 000 points, which can increase the level of the newly contracted supercat to Level 7 at most.¡±

    It was not Zhao Yao¡¯s first time leveling up to Level 7. However, there was never a sign of power to control other dimensions. His worry was that the newly contracted supercat might not be able to attain this power.

    The only thing Zhao Yao was looking forward to was a higher level, the evolution module he would gain after collecting 100% of the meteorite fragments and the drawing of rewards at the end of every month.

    ¡°Even if I can¡¯t attain the power to control the Awareness Dimension, I should perhaps obtain a dream-rted superpower so that I won¡¯t be powerless if I am attacked.¡±

    Zhao Yao decided to level up the Book first after thinking about it.

    In that instant, when he tapped to level up, a numbing sensation rose in his body. He was inheriting the powers of Catherine, the previously contract cat.

    As he had inherited Sphynx cat¡¯s powers before that, Zhao Yao only felt a slight sensation this time round. After the inheriting process ended, he only felt a small increase in his physical capabilities.

    However, given his current physical prowess, even if he used the training ability to improve his skills, the incremental effects would be smaller and smaller and eventually be ineffective. Catherine¡¯s powers were said to produce merely instant results.

    After leveling up the Book to Level 8, Zhao Yao thought for a bit and called Diana over. He decided to contract this sister of Elizabeth¡¯s.

    After the contracting was done, the main missions of leveling up the Book and contracting supercats werepleted. Zhao Yao gained another 6 000*2 experience points the book became Book: Level 8 (32 217/50 000). The main mission was updated as well.

    Main Mission: Inherit more supercat powers and catch more supercats

    Mission Objective: Upgrade Book to Level 9 and gain the powers of the ninth supercat.

    Reward: 10 000 experience points

    Mission Penalty: None

    ¡°Haha, I almost forgot about the experience points from this main mission. However, the extra 12 000 experience points is still not enough for me to level up to Level 8. Luckily, I still have 7 skill points. If I use one or two skill points on Diana...¡±

    Zhao Yao stared at Diana¡¯s panel and smiled expectantly. Diana clutched her big tail at the said and asked anxiously, ¡°Zhao Yao! What are you trying to do?¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s a good thing. I will boost your superpower.¡±

    ¡°Really!¡± Diana looked at Zhao Yao in delight. She had long been envious and jealous of Elizabeth and Catherine as both of them had their superpowers upgraded. She bumped her head repeatedly against Zhao Yao¡¯s calf as she said, ¡°Zhao Yao, you¡¯re so nice.¡±

    Zhao Yao added all the experience points to Diana at once, leveling her up to Level 7. After that, he opened the ability tree to take a look.

    Diana¡¯s ability was called the Nightmare Lord in the Book. She could create all sorts of dreamscapes in the target after the target fell asleep.

    This was an ability of dreams to begin with. This ability was not an offensive one by itself. The target would just get a nightmare and not feel good the next day at most.

    After Zhao Yao leveled up to Level 7, an immediate difference could be seen when all theyers of the ability tree were added together, especially after the addition of two growth skills with one skill point.

    Nightmare Lord: Aftering into contact with the target, a dreamscape can be imnted in the target¡¯s body. After the target falls asleep, the ability to induce dreams can be activated within a 50km range from the target, pulling the target into the dreamscape. When adjusting to the target¡¯s dreamscape, change the dreamscape by moving the things in it or speeding up time.

    Each time a dreamscape is created, 7 (the Level of the Book) *1% of the subconscious can be extracted from the target and yourself to bebined and added into the dreamscape.

    1 second in the real world is equivalent to 7 (the Level of the Book) *1 hour in the dreamscape.

    Each time the dreamscape ends, there is a mental impact on the energy level of the target. It ranges from a maximum of not sleeping for 7 days to a minimum of not sleeping for a day.

    After tapping on all sevenyers of the ability tree and adding the two growth skills under Level 6, Diana¡¯s Nightmare Lord ability instantly increased by arge margin.

    This could be said to be a very secretive and immensely powerful skill.

    Aftering into contact with the other party and nting the dreamscape, a nightmare attack could be conducted within a 50km range from the target.

    The effects of each nightmare attack might only be equivalent to a day of not sleeping but after attacking continuously for more than 10 times, the target could actually suffer severe mental injuries to the point of bing brain-dead.

    Furthermore, if Zhao Yao used this power together with Elizabeth and Catherine¡¯s powers, thebined superpowers of the mother and daughter trio would even be enough to kill Project X.

    However, Zhao Yao still felt that it was a pity as he stared at this superpower. It did not have the power toe into contact with the so-called Awareness Dimension.

    Even so, at least Zhao Yao had some defensive power in the dreamscape now.

    ¡°Looks like I have to find other ways to attain the power to control the Awareness Dimension. It¡¯s either I continue to level up Diana or use the evolution module after collecting all the meteorite fragments.¡±

    Zhao Yao still decided to take over the Star Cats first. He would decide on his next move after collecting the experience points and meteorite fragments.

    In a small room, four supercats were standing in front of aputer and making a ruckus as they yed the game seriously.

    At that moment, a cell phone rang. The Frost cat, Ace, said with annoyance, ¡°Who¡¯s going to answer the call?¡±

    The Divination cat, Merlin, scoffed and said, ¡°It must be Steven. Anthony, take the call.¡±

    Anthony was angered. ¡°Why should I?¡±

    ¡°Because you died.¡±

    Anthony had no choice but to answer the call. He typed and sent a voice message which read, ¡°Steven?¡±

    Steven sent a voice message back. He spoke in an angry tone. ¡°Anthony, why did you guys take so long to answer the call? I knocked five out already!¡±

    Anthony replied guilty, ¡°We are working now. You know how we had to rebuild the Star Cats after Zhao Yao left. We are very busy now.¡±

    ¡°You guys aren¡¯t ying games right?¡± Steven asked suspiciously.

    ¡°How can that be! What kind of cats do you think we are?¡± Anthony¡¯s typing speed started to increase. ¡°Merlin and I are researching on how to upgrade our superpowers to defeat Zhao Yao!¡±

    ¡°Okay, I wrongfully med you guys. I apologise.¡± Steven shook his head and continued, ¡°I have bad news to tell you. After Zhao Yao disappeared for one whole week, he appeared again half an hour ago and wrecked one of our bases in Maine. I think you guys should prepare to relocate anytime now.¡±

    ¡°Ah? This guy is back?¡± Anthony shouted towards the room, ¡°Zhao Yao is back in the US!¡±

    The whole room flew into frenzy at once. The four cats hugged each other in fear and rm, dropping cat fur all over the floor.

    The Mass Transfer cat, Anthony, eximed, ¡°What should we do! God knows how much things he¡¯s going to steal from us this time!¡±

    The Divination cat, Merlin, said, ¡°Calm down guys. Calm down. Everyone lick your fur first and calm yourselves down.¡±

    Frost cat, Ace, licked his fur, paws, chest, and stomach fervently as he said, ¡°There¡¯s no way out! We can¡¯t beat him in battle but we can¡¯t all hide either, given how big the Star Cats is with so many people and so many cats.¡±

    Arthur, another supercat, chimed in, ¡°Since we can¡¯t beat him in a fight and he can¡¯t find us, just let him take whatever he wants. Speaking of that, there is a newly released dungeon. Have you guys raided it?¡±

    Merlin agreed, ¡°Yeah, he can¡¯t find us anyway.¡±

    Anthony nodded. ¡°Instead of worrying blindly, let¡¯s be the first to raid the dungeon.¡±

    The Frost cat, Ace, raised his small paw and said, ¡°I agree. Let¡¯s y a game first to soothe our nerves. We¡¯ll think of way we feel better.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. How can we think of a strategy to counter this problem when we are all so flustered? Let¡¯s calm ourselves down first.¡±

    The four supercats panicked for a while before they returned to their ownputer desks and prepared to y the game.

    However, the moment they joined the game, they received a private message, ¡°Anthony, are you ying games? I am Steve!¡±

    Anthony immediately replied, ¡°I¡¯m a game booster!¡±

    Anthony replied: ¡°( ??§¥?`)¡±

    Steve: ¡°Don¡¯t act pitiful in front of me. Quick, go offline now. I will send people to follow your user IDs closely.¡±

    Anthony and the other supercats went offline glumly. After that, he mmed his paw on the table in fury and said, ¡°D*mn it. Steve is actually spying on us!¡±

    The Divination cat, Merlin, said, ¡°He has no idea how important ying this game is to us!¡±

    The Frost cat, Ace, raised his paws and shouted, ¡°ying games has be our only source of entertainment. Now we can¡¯t even y games. What¡¯s the point of our cat lives now?¡±

    ¡°Exactly,¡± Arthur said. ¡°We can¡¯t even y games. We should might as well be captured by Zhao Yao!¡±

    Just as the four cats were grumbling, a cough rang in their ears. The four cats turned around in unison and saw Zhao Yao before them.

    The Mass Transfer cat, Anthony, was so scared he jumped two meters high in rm, grabbing on to the chandelier in the room. Divination cat, Merlin, immediately slid under the sofa to hide and Frost cat, Ace, copsed to the floor as his legs turned weak. Only Arthur stood with his chest puffed in the air, ring his fur at Zhao Yao as he continued to make low, threatening growls.

    Zhao Yao shrugged his shoulders and said, ¡°Do you guys want to follow me back on your own ord or do you want me to knock you guys out first?¡±

    After Zhao Yao returned to the US, he used the intel collected from reading Doomsday¡¯s mind and with the help of Sheriff¡¯s mind reading ability, tracked down the whereabouts of these remaining four pioneer supercats.

    However, when they saw Zhao Yao, it was impossible for the four pioneer supercats to surrender without a fight.

    Anthony first tried to activate his Mass Transfer powers to escape as blue light emanated from the four supercats in the room.

    The Frost cat, Ace, turned into a blizzard and charged towards Zhao Yao, trying to entrap him to buy more time for the mass transfer.

    Merlin, the Divination cat, could not stop trembling in fear.

    Rays of sword shadows appeared behind Arthur.

    As he faced the attacks from the four supercats, Zhao Yao calmly said, ¡°Have a good sleep guys...¡±

    The next moment, a voice rang in the ears of all four cats. Their vision turned to ck before they copsed on the floor.

    After dealing with the four supercats, Zhao Yao took the meteorite fragments from each of their bodies. His meteorite fragments collection increased to 81% instantly and his skill points also increased to 8 points.

    At the same time, he earned another 5 000*4*2 experience points for sessfully catching thest four pioneer supercats. This made his experience points be: Book: Level 8 (54 107/100 000).

    Next, Zhao Yao went on a hunt around all of America, sweeping up all the meteorite fragments owned by the Star Cats. He finally increased the meteorite fragments collection to 88%,pleting the mission to collect all the meteorite fragments owned by the Star Cats. This earned him another 8 000*2 experience points.

    As for the remaining 12%, Zhao Yao guessed that it was scattered around the world in the hands of other groups or countries.

    ¡°What an excellent harvest.¡± Having finallypleted the two big missions concerning the Star Cats, Zhao Yao left the US superpower realm in a mess as he brought the four pioneer supercats with him back home and returned to the Cat Wondend.

    ¡°Let me go home and organise my gains first before I decide on my next ns.¡±

    ...

    Anthony opened his eyes in a dazed and confused state of mind. He found himself in an office and immediately flipped over and crawled on his limbs as he saw Merlin, Arthur, and Ace beside him. There were two other supercats on the other side which he had never seen before.

    Zhao Yao sat behind the office table in front of them. He wasughing foolishly at hisputer screen.

    Anthony asked telepathically, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±

    Merlin replied, ¡°I don¡¯t know. We found ourselves here when we awoke.¡±

    Frost Cat, Ace, looked at the unfamiliar orange cat and multi-colored cat at the side and said, ¡°Hello, can I know what this ce is?¡±

    Mao Mao nced at Anthony who was beside him and said, ¡°This is Cat Wondend, don¡¯t you know? Who are you guys?¡±

    ¡°Cat Wondend?¡± Ace exchanged nces with hispanions looking lost.

    The assistant beside Mao Mao could not help but said, ¡°Hey, the four of you must be new?¡± He pointed to Mao Mao behind him and continued, ¡°This is my boss, leader of the Cao Gang, Mao Mao, do you guys want to follow my boss?

    Let me warn you, in Cat Wondend, if you do not work for a boss, you can¡¯t even survive one day. The number of supercats that have died here on the second day is more than the furs on your face.¡±

    Ace spoke to hispanions, ¡°Have you guys heard of this supercat? Seems like a supercat from a big organization?¡±

    ¡°Never heard of him.¡± Anthony looked at Mao Mao and said, ¡°But it feels like they are very powerful.¡±

    The assistant tri-colored cat continued to say, ¡°Who in Jianghai hasn¡¯t heard of Mao Mao, even Cannon, who works under Sister Dust Ball and works for the Headless Horseman needs to give Mao Mao boss face. You guys are lucky this time. Mao Mao is recruiting followers. Working under us in Cat Wondend will guarantee your sess.¡±

    ¡°Humph.¡± Mao Mao, who was at the side, proudly turned his face away.

    ¡°Humph your head.¡± Zhao Yao who was behind the desk mmed the mouse onto Mao Mao¡¯s head and said, ¡°Who allowed you to form gangs on my territory?¡±

    Mao Mao did not expect Zhao Yao to be able to hear their private conversation since they did not know about the existence of Sheriff. After getting hit by the mouse pad, Mao Mao and the multicolored cat immediately turned onto their back and said with a face to please, ¡°How would we dare form gangs under your eyes? We are just kidding.¡±

    ¡°Humph.¡± Zhao Yao took a look at the articles in his hands and said, ¡°The two of you kidnapped my cat while I was away?¡±

    Mao Mao leaped and scrambled under Zhao Yao¡¯s feet in an instant, licked his shoes while he said, ¡°Misunderstanding misunderstanding, it¡¯s all just a misunderstanding! All I wanted to do was to y with your cats. We were kidnapped together!¡±

    The assistant multi-colored cat looked at this scene shockingly, screaming internally, ¡°Boss! How can you! Even if he is the Headless Horseman, we should not lick him like this!¡±

    Mao Mao said, ¡°What does a lick represent? As long as I am able to fulfill my ambitions, I am willing to do anything. These are my morals. Don¡¯t stand there and look. Come over here and lick together with me!¡±

    Anthony, along with the other cats, were stunned at this scene and started to chat to telepathically.

    ¡°Is this guy a devil?¡±

    ¡°What kind of reputation is able to scare these two cats like this...¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao kicked Mao Mao and the multi-colored cat who ran up to lick him, and said, ¡°Okay okay, stop licking. Originally I don¡¯t take in useless cats like you, however, there is no way I¡¯ll let you leave this ce without paying a price for kidnapping my cat.¡±

    The two cats straightened their ears and listened to what Zhao Yao was about to say carefully.

    Mao Mao spoke to himself: Humph, I did not waste my time while getting locked up here. I have already heard that the cats caught work at Cat Wondend to repay their debt and it is up to Zhao Yao how much they owe. Basically, they work here till death.

    However, this is to my advantage, I will start from the bottomand step by step, work my way up to the top of Cat Wondend and look at the spectacr view from the top...¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at Mao Mao and said, ¡°Don¡¯t say I¡¯m unkind. I¡¯ll give you guys two choices. Firstly...¡±

    The two cats stared at Zhao Yao with their eyes wide open.

    ¡°Chop off both of your paws. I¡¯ll pretend that nothing happened.¡±

    ¡°Ahh!!! ¡± The multi-colored cat stared at Zhao Yao in shock and flipped over immediately while shouting, ¡°Please let us go! We will agree to anything except for this!¡±

    He saw that Mao Mao was still frozen. He immediately pulled him over and said, ¡°Boss, hurry up and plead the Headless Horseman with me.¡±

    Mao Mao pushed the multi-colored cat away, looked at Zhao Yao, and said, ¡°You want a pair of paws from each of us, if I chop off 4 paws from one cat, can you pretend that nothing happened?¡±

    The multi-colored cat looked at Mao Mao stunned, and said touchingly, ¡°Boss?¡±

    Zhao Yao also looked at Mao Mao surprised and said, ¡°You are willing to chop off four paws?¡±

    ¡°Pass me the knife.¡± Mao Mao looked at multi-colored cat beside him and continued, ¡°I can chop off four of his paws.¡±

    ¡°Boss! How can you do this?¡±

    Looking at the two supercats who were about to get into a fight, Zhao Yao pinched his forehead and spoke, ¡°Okay enough, you still have a second choice.¡± While saying, he took out two contracts and ced it in front of the two supercats.

    ¡°Our Cat Wondend is a very formal bigpany, we never lie. Sign this contract and we will be a family. There will be sry every month, holidays, and a sufficient training module as well as a performance based reward system. Every cat here will have a lot of freedom to perform.¡±

    While saying, Zhao Yao ced a pen in front of Mao Mao with a smile and said, ¡°Sign it.¡±

    Mao Mao lowered his head, about to look at the details of the contract but he heard Zhao Yao¡¯s voice. ¡°Hey, I told you guys to sign it, didn¡¯t I? Who told you to look at it?¡±

    Mao Mao and Multi-colored cat felt a chill at the same time.

    ¡°This is the deal with the devil!¡± the multi-colored cat screamed. ¡°Boss, don¡¯t sign, don¡¯t sign it! The rest of our lives will be over if we sign it!¡±

    ¡°Do you think we have a choice! When I first stepped into Cat Wondend, I was already prepared to endure everything.¡± Mao Mao gripped the pen and started to sign it.

    Watching the two cats write their name down, Zhao Yao nodded his head and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we are a bigpany. We will not cheat cats. You guys do not even need to sign the contract. Now, ourpany has reformed. Every cat signs a contract, receives sry, and bonus.¡±

    Zhao Yao put the two contracts into the drawers and spoke to outside, ¡°Okay, you guys can go out, there will be people outside to bring you around and familiarize the situation.¡±

    ¡°Wait a minute.¡± Zhao Yao suddenly stopped the two cats, made Mao Mao turn around and looked at the appearance of Mao Mao. He said, ¡°I have to make you distinguishable from Matcha. If not you will be too simr to Matcha which will affect your work.¡±

    After a thought, Zhao Yao reached out his hands and the Deflective Field went into cutting mode and directly shaved a small patch of fur from Mao Mao¡¯s head, balding him.

    ¡°You look better like this. You guys can go now.¡±

    The multi-colored cat looked at Mao Mao¡¯s bald head in shock while Mao Mao just looked at Zhao Yao confused. He was chased out by Zhao Yao before he was able toprehend the situation.

    After Mao Mao and his adjutant left, Zhao Yao gazed at Anthony and other Star Cats.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to be straightforward. Stay for a year and work for me. After that, you can leave and I won¡¯t stop you.¡±

    The four Star Cats were prepared for the worst after witnessing what happened to Mao Mao. Their eyes lit up and looked at Zhao Yao. ¡°Is that for real?¡±

    They thought they had to be Zhao Yao¡¯s ves forever. They were able to leave after a year of work so they felt happy.

    Zhao Yao nodded and said, ¡°My cats have freedom to leave as I don¡¯t like to enve supercats. With your superpower, if I didn¡¯t watch over you, wouldn¡¯t you have left?¡±

    The four Star Cats looked at each other and conversed telepathically among themselves. Finally, Anthony came forward and said, ¡°Fine Zhao Yao, we¡¯ll work one year for you.¡±

    Convincing the four Star Cats was much easier than he thought and he heaved in relief.

    The reason he was keeping them was for Anthony¡¯s Teleportation and Merlin¡¯s Divination superpower.

    The Extradimensional Belly was used to imprison Project X, so he was unable to use the Dimension Portals for traveling long distances. Zhao Yao flew to and from America and he had weathered considerably.

    Anthony¡¯s Teleportation would be useful to boost his power, especially when he engaged in directbat with Project X.

    Merlin¡¯s Divination could help him find the Meteorite Fragments.

    After taking over the Star Cat¡¯s Meteorite Fragments, he had only collected 88% of all fragments. To find the remaining fragments was like searching for a needle in the hay. With Merlin¡¯s Divination, he would be able to find all fragments with ease.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Merlin and Anthony will help me find the Meteorite Fragments quickly andplete the Meteorite mission so that the fragments could be pieced together. I¡¯m curious to know its power. Then I¡¯ll decide how to allocate the earned experience points.¡±

    If these two tasks werepleted, I could defeat Project X and save Roly Poly and Sphynx cat.¡±

    Zhao Yao was going to bring Anthony and Merlin along with him and watch over them closely to prevent them from creating trouble.

    Though Ace and Arthur¡¯s superpowers were powerful, with Bai Quan and other supercats watching over them, they were unlikely to cause trouble.

    Zhao Yao handed Ace and Arthur over to Bai Quan and looked at Anthony and Merlin as he asked, ¡°Tell me your superpowers in detail.¡±

    After the two Star Cats exined their superpowers, Zhao Yao understood their superpowers better.

    Anthony was able to set up a location tag after arriving at a location. After that, he was able to teleport anybody or objects within a radius of 10 meters to the location tag.

    He was able to designate a maximum of 12 location tags and the activation time was ten seconds. This was a very powerful support superpower.

    Merlin¡¯s Divination superpower was simpler. As long as he was aware of an object or person¡¯s information, he was able to foretell the location. The more detailed the information, the more urate the foretold location.

    This was another powerful support superpower for foretelling enemies¡¯ movements and it would boost Zhao Yao¡¯s gathering of intelligence.

    The Star Cats held arge portion of the Meteorite Fragments while other countries and organizations held the remaining portions. The Star Cats were not willing to fight for the small portion of fragments as they did not have Zhao Yao¡¯s mission and the 100% Meteorite Fragments requirement.

    Zhao Yao did not have so many concerns. Thebination of Anthony, Merlin, and Sheriff was extremely efficient in locating the Meteorite Fragments.

    The following days, Zhao Yao brought along Anthony and Merlin as they traveled around the globe in search for the Meteorite Fragments. They slowly pushed the collection rate towards 100%.

    ...

    On a snow-covered highway in Canada.

    A sportscar sped at 200 yards per second and the car floated due to the high speed. It left a trail of howling wind and scattering snow as it distanced itself from the pursuing police cars.

    After the sportscar had shaken off the police cars, a human figure cut across the falling snow and ran alongside the sportscar.

    The driver in the sportscar was dumbfounded. He elerated once again and the sportscar took off like a fighter ne.

    Zhao Yao shook his head and activated Time Freeze. He walked slowly to the side of the car and opened the door. A Norwegian forest cat was sitting beside the driver¡¯s seat and using his paws to control the steering wheel remotely.

    Zhao Yao was surprised. ¡°The cat¡¯s driving? His superpower¡¯s speeding?¡±

    Surveying his body and the area around the driver¡¯s seat, Zhao Yao retrieved the Meteorite Fragment from a cup holder and assimted the fragment into his body.

    ¡°What a driver...¡±

    A few minutester, a few police cars screeched to a halt by the roadside. Numerous cops alighted and charged towards the stationary sportscar. As they opened the door, they saw a Norwegian forest cat tied to the back seat, his innocent face staring at them.

    ...

    Zhao Yao globe-trotted in search for the Meteorite Fragments.

    Most of his cats had returned to Cat Wondend to support the daily operations.

    On an early morning, Matcha carried his backpack and left the Cat Wondend stealthily.

    He heard numerous yells as he walked out of the main door.

    Matcha turned his head and saw Ares with a few of his cats yelling as they ran over. When they saw Matcha, they heaved in disappointment.

    ¡°It¡¯s you, Matcha. Did you see Mao Mao and his adjutant?¡±

    ¡°Mao Mao and his adjutant? I didn¡¯t see them.¡± Matcha asked. ¡°What¡¯s with them?¡±

    ¡°They are escaping from Cat Wondend.¡± Ares turned to his cats and shouted, ¡°Humph, they are not here. Let¡¯s split up and look for them. We can¡¯t let them escape!¡±

    After the group of supercats left, Matcha sighed in relief and left Cat Wondend. He took a couple detours as he walked towards his destination.

    When he arrived at the old district, he crawled into the bushes, opened his backpack, and took out a furry cosy costume. He exerted great effort to squeeze into the costume and he became a white furry cat.

    He abruptly pressed his stomach and thought, ¡°S*it! It¡¯s so tight that my stomach¡¯s painful. Not all cats are that slim. Why is this costume so small?¡±

    After some adjustments to his costume, Matcha stood up and walked into the district under the security guards¡¯ surprised gazes. He came to the paper carton where he spat out the cat.

    The moment Matcha crawled onto the bed, he saw Yellow Mud lying on it and an orange little kitten sleeping soundly sprawled all over a small cupboard box on the other side.

    Upon seeing Matcha appear, it seems as though several ck dots went past Yellow Mud¡¯s head. He looked at the fur Matcha was wearing and thought to himself: ¡°What is this guy doing?¡±

    Matcha went up to the little orange kitten, he first sniffed around, then tried to listen to it and felt that nothing is wrong. He turned around to ask Yellow Mud, ¡°Yellow Mud, is he alright?¡±

    Yellow Mud answered, ¡°Eat and sleep, then sleep and eat. What can be wrong? Anyway, how is this kitten rted to you?¡± He looked at Matcha with a face of suspicion and said, ¡°He looks a bit like you.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s body stiffened up as he immediately said, ¡°What are you talking about? All cats look alike. There¡¯s no such thing as alike or not. I picked this cat up!¡±

    Yellow Mud looked at Matcha with a face of suspicion and thought, ¡°Is this cat be rted to Matcha again?¡±

    At this moment, the little orange kitten in the cardboard box woke up, opened his mouth, and started to whine. He had yet to open his eyes and was unable to see anything but only picked up on Matcha¡¯s scent and felt an unexinable sense of familiarity.

    Matcha feltplicated looked at the whining little orange kitten.

    These few days he already knew about Doomsday from Ares and Fish Ball.

    ¡°Damn it. I can¡¯t believe it is a bloody super power!¡± Matcha got angrier and angrier at the thought. Why did he even do so many things for? If he knew earlier, he would have told Zhao Yao earlier, let him help to think of solutions and all of this would not have happened.

    Now that the little cat was born, what should he do next?

    Matcha thought, ¡°It¡¯s just my clone after all. Why should I care about him? I should just simply throw it out.¡±

    Yellow Mud said, ¡°Haiz, without an adult cat to look after them. This kind of little kitten if will only die outside.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Matcha eximed. ¡°That can¡¯t be? I remember when I was mingling on the streetsst time. I was well fed and there wasn¡¯t any danger as well.¡±

    Yellow Mud rolled his eyes and thought, ¡°All you knew how to do was wait for me to do the job. I had to go on the streets everyday to look for you. Of course it was fine.¡±

    However, Yellow Mud was embarrassed to say it so he just exined, ¡°You were lucky. The streets are not easy to survive. As a stray cat, the first problem you face is the shortage of food, whatever is avable has to be eaten. Even if it is not meant for cats and can result in diarrhea or poisoning.

    There is no doctor to treat you, no ce for you to rest. Once you have diarrhea or sickness, if it up to your luck whether you can survive.¡±

    Yellow Mud sighed, ¡°Plus a stray cat at his age, without any capabilities, will be bullied by other stray cats, let alone stray cats... I don¡¯t even know how many cases of kittens being eaten up by rats I have seen.

    The worst is to meet humans that torture cats. Anything can happen. To be a stray cat is really very miserable.

    An ordinary stray cat without wisdom only has an average life span of three to five years. This little kitten has yet to be identified whether he is a supercat. In case he is not, the more miserable it gets.¡±

    While he was saying, Yellow Mud started to smile again. ¡°But fortunately, there is Matcha to take care of him. It will be alright.¡±

    Matcha smiled guiltily and looked at the little cat who had his eyes closed and was sniffing in his direction. He thought. ¡°It seems really miserable to throw him out. Why not hand him over to another person to look after him?¡±

    The little kitten stumbled towards Matcha, hit Matcha on his stomach, and arched towards it.

    Yellow Mud said, ¡°Matcha, he seems to really like you. Do you want to give him a name?¡±

    ¡°No,¡± Matcha said. ¡°I have thought about it, with only two of us, it will be impossible to always take care of him. I have decided to give him away to someone else.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Yellow Mud said disappointedly. ¡°Then who do we give him to?¡±

    Matcha narrowed his eyes and said, ¡°I still need to confirm this.¡± While speaking he looked at Yellow Mud and continued, ¡°Yellow Mud, for the next two days I¡¯ll have to trouble you to help me take care of this little kitten. I¡¯ll immediately look for his next home.¡±

    Matcha immediately took off his disguise after he left the area, quietly snuck back into Cat Wondend and thought, ¡°The first candidate will be Zhao Yao, right? If Zhao Yao takes in the little kitten, I still can see him around anytime.¡±

    Therefore, the moment Matcha returned, he went to wait at Zhao Yao¡¯s office. Zhao Yao finally returned in a hurry after two hours of waiting.

    Zhao Yao looked at Matcha and said, ¡°Matcha, your performance is not very good these days. There is a cat that reported you for loafing on the job frequently, is that true?¡±

    ¡°Who went to report me?¡± Matcha expressed the hatred in his mind and immediately said to Zhao Yao, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, I went onto the streets to promote the courses in our school, not to take a break!¡±

    While speaking, Matcha climbed onto Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulder, rubbed his face against Zhao Yao¡¯s and tried to climb onto Zhao Yao¡¯s chest.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, while you weren¡¯t here I was very diligent. I am even the first in promoting our school¡¯s courses in month!¡±

    While Matcha was speaking, he tried to crawl into Zhao Yao¡¯s clothes. When he was just about to climb in, he saw Sheriff peek out his head, smiling awkwardly at him, and said, ¡°Hello, Matcha.¡±

    Matcha said unhappily, ¡°Why are you here?¡±

    Sheriff saidughingly. ¡°Why can¡¯t I be here? I have been here these few days collecting meteorite fragments together with Zhao Yao.¡±

    The next moment, Anthony and Divination both peeked out their heads, looked at Matcha and said, ¡°We are here too.¡±

    ¡°These few days were so tiring.¡±

    ¡°But finally the collection ispleted.¡±

    Zhao Yao patted their heads and said, ¡°I¡¯ll treat you guys to a big meal for the hard work.¡±

    Looking at Zhao Yao and the three other cats living harmoniously, Matcha pouted, jumped down from Zhao Yao onto the floor and shouted, ¡°I¡¯m leaving!¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°Close the door.¡±

    Matcha walked out with angry steps but found out that Zhao Yao did not call him back. He pushed open the door angrily while saying, ¡°They are eating good food. Hope they die from eating.¡±

    Leaving the office, he fished out his phone angrily and crossed out Zhao Yao¡¯s name on it.

    ¡°Unreliable guy. Bringing stray cats home everyday, how can the little kitten be trusted with you.¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao! Out!¡± Matcha looked at the next name on the list and said, ¡°Next, I shall see if Bai Quan can make it.¡±

    In the office, Zhao Yao took out two cans of food from the drawer and ced it in front of Sheriff, Anthony, and Merlin, saying, ¡°I forgot to restock the food in the office. There are only two cans left. The three of you will have to make do with it.¡±

    Three of the cats looked at the cans speechlessly and thought silently, ¡°This is the big meal?¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao looked at his tasks list excitedly. The collection of Meteorite Fragments had already reached 100%, he not only received several skill points but could also choose to bepleted andunch the evolution module.

    Zhao Yao came back to Cat Wondend and wanted to activate the evolution.

    He chose toplete the task and watched the mission panel for the collection of meteorite fragments disappear. There was an additional evolution panel on top of the basic mission panel, diamond hall, and lucky draw.

    Zhao Yao clicked on it and realized that he had already signed a contract with 8 cats. Matcha, Elizabeth, and Ares were all included.

    He chose Matcha and saw an evolution button. He pressed the button with anticipation and saw a line of red words.

    ¡°Level is insufficient. Unable to activate evolution.¡±

    Zhao Yao was stunned and then he noticed the small line of words behind underneath. Evolution can only be activated when Level 10 is reached.

    ¡°It has to be Level 10?¡± Zhao Yao was d that he did not spend his experience points randomly. He took a look at the panel.

    BOOK: Level 8 (70207/100000)

    Matcha: Level 8 (13010/50000)

    Elizabeth: Level 9 (6800/100000)

    Catherine: Level 8 (1200/50000)

    Diana Level 8 (500/50000)

    He looked at all of the experience points and sighed. ¡°I cannot activate the evolution. I need a hundred thousand more experience points. Even though Elizabeth and Dust Ball both have the highest Levels, they have not reached Level 10. Looks like I have to collect more experience points.

    Thinking of this, Zhao Yao stood up and looked at the three cats, who were scratching and sniffing at the canned food. ¡°Stop eating. There is something important to do.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± the three cats asked. ¡°Don¡¯t you already have all the meteorite fragments?¡±

    ¡°How is collecting meteorite fragments enough? We have to do more meaningful things.¡± Zhao Yao waved his hand and said to Merlin, ¡°Predict, which supercat in this world needs our help now.¡±

    Upon hearing Zhao Yao, the three cats looked at each other and thought that the Zhao Yao in front of them was a fake. Even Sheriff thought that his powers malfunctioned as he heard Zhao Yao¡¯s thoughts of wanting to help.

    Zhao Yao shook his head. ¡°It is not easy for you to predict if there is too little information right? Then...¡± He took out his phone and logged into the Cat web.

    ¡°There are many supercats and apostles here. We can see who needs help and we can predict ordingly.¡±

    Soon, Zhao Yao started shouting. ¡°Look, this cat posted that he is troubled that he can¡¯t slim down. We should help him.¡±

    The post wrote, ¡°Are there any other cats like me, who do not want to get up after lying down and sleep more than 18 hours? Recently, my weight has been getting out of control and I can¡¯t slim down. Are there any rmendations?¡±

    Anthony hesitated, ¡°This is too little information. Merlin can¡¯t be precise about the location.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Zhao Yao clicked on his profile picture and said, ¡°We can look at the post he has posted. The more we scroll, the more we will know.¡±

    While Zhao Yao brought the three cats with him to do good deeds, Matcha sneaked into the gym on the third floor of Cat Wondend.

    The orange cat stuck his head out from behind the wall and looked at Bai Quan, who was exercising.

    Although he could no longer borrow Sphynx cat¡¯s powers, Bai Quan had already gotten use to exercising everyday. He woulde to the gym everyday just for fun.

    Matcha looked at Bai Quan and typed in his phone, ¡°Second choice is Bai Quan. He has a good temper, gentle personality, and can cook great cat food. He never mistreats cats and does not bring stray cats home, extort them, threaten them or kidnap.¡±

    Matcha listed a whole list of Bai Quan¡¯s qualities and nodded. ¡°It should be safe for Bai Quan to adopt the kitten.¡±

    While Matcha was observing, a few men walked up and looked at Bai Quan with envy. ¡°Great muscles.¡±

    Bai Quanughed and said, ¡°You guys aren¡¯t that bad too.¡±

    ¡°How are weparable to you?¡± The guys continued. ¡°Look here, look at your great waistline.¡±

    Bai Quan patted them on the shoulder and said, ¡°Xiao Mao, you have to work on your back muscles.¡±

    ¡°I have been too busy with work. Why don¡¯t you teach us how to use this equipment?¡±

    ¡°Wow! The strength! You must be really powerful!¡±

    Matcha¡¯s sweat dripped as he watched them touch each other andpliment each other. ¡°It feels weird.¡±

    ¡°Bai Quan... Out!¡±

    Matcha looked at the list on his phone. ¡°Next is Zhao Xue. I hope Zhao Xue will not disappoint me.¡±

    ...

    In the United States.

    Transmigrating in consciousness dimension, Amakusaid on the sofa and looked at his new body. Then, he said, ¡°This is interesting.¡±

    Amakusa sat in front of the desk and controlled theputer. ¡°What a weird civilization. The race here seem to revere us greatly and even bred arge amount of subspecies. These subspecies evolved to be supercats.

    Amakusa said, ¡°Forget it. I should just control their leader, dominate their army, and rule the!¡±

    Giggle looked at theputer screen and said, ¡°What is fun about ruling the? I have a better idea.¡±

    Amakusa asked, ¡°What is it?¡±

    Giggle said, ¡°Have you seen the online games here?¡±

    ¡°Online games? What is that?¡± Amakusa said excitedly. ¡°Oh ya, I just watched the Avengers. It was so funny. Do you want to watch it with me again?¡±

    ¡°Can¡¯t you use your energy for something more meaningful?¡± Giggle said. ¡°Come let¡¯s figure out how to y this game together. I think we can use this to dominate the.¡±

    Amakusa answered, ¡°There is nothing interesting about that. I shall watch it by myself then. It is so funny.¡±

    Then, a female voice sounded, ¡°Jordan! David Beckham! It is time to eat!¡±

    Amakusa was possessing a British Shorthair. He jumped up and licked his lips. ¡°I¡¯ve got to go. The humans are about to offer their offerings. I wonder what is there to eat.¡±

    Amakusa jumped off the table causally and walked to the kitchen with his tail held high. ¡°I need to be more graceful. These primitive people treat us like gods. We should maintain the pride and grace of gods so that they will continue to revere us.¡±

    ¡°You should really try the online games. They are very useful for my future ns of ruling the.¡±

    Amakusa was gobbling down the food and licked his lips. ¡°This taste good.¡±

    Giggle was exasperated. ¡°Are you listening to me?¡±

    Giggle looked at Amakusa, who kept on eating and asked, ¡°Do you still remember the awareness country?¡±

    ¡°Awareness country?¡± Amakusa was surprised and stopped and looked at Giggle. ¡°That is forbidden.¡±

    Giggleughed. ¡°It is not forbidden here.¡±

    The two cats looked at each other and there was a light that shed across their eyes.

    Then, the owner of the house ced a te of salmon in front of them. ¡°David Beckham, Jordan, this is the rest of the salmon. Eat it.¡±

    The two cats were attracted to the salmon and looked at it curiously. They were sniffing around the salmon.

    Amakusa asked, ¡°What is this? It smells good.¡±

    Giggle said, ¡°Haven¡¯t you heard? These are the leftovers. This is humiliating us!¡±

    Amakusa swallowed his saliva and said, ¡°Why not try it? What if it is good?¡±

    Giggle raged, ¡°Do you have any dignity left? You want to eat leftovers?¡±

    The female ownerughed and looked at the two cats, who were sniffing around at the food. ¡°Stop sniffing David Beckham, eat it. There is no poison in it.¡±

    ¡°This is outrageous!¡± Giggle yelled and smacked the te down onto the floor. With a crisp knock, the te shattered and the salmon was on the floor.

    Giggle started meowing. ¡°Do you want to die? How dare you give us leftovers? Hurry up and bring us good food. I shall spare you this time.¡±

    Giggleughed when he heard the female owner shouted. But, his face fell immediately.

    The female owner eximed, ¡°David Beckham, don¡¯t eat them off the ground. What if you cut yourself?¡±

    Giggle looked at Amakusa licking the salmon off the ground and raged, ¡°Amakusa! What are you doing! You... you...¡± He was ashamed. ¡°You eat food off the ground. You¡¯ve disgraced us!¡±

    Amakusa said, ¡°There is no difference whether the food is on the table or the floor. Speaking of it... this is called salmon? It is really good. Giggle, do you want to try?¡±

    ¡°Rubbish.¡± Giggle shook his head in anger and a demonic light shed in his eyes as he looked at the female owner. ¡°You asked for it! Woman! Bring all the good food that you have hidden in the house! You have to pay for humiliating us!¡±

    ...

    At night, when Matcha and the other supercats left work, they took the golden dragon that Cat Sage had turned into and returned to Cat Ind.

    Matcha sat in the leftmost position, looked at the night view of Jianghai and was very solemn.

    Lightning sat beside him and ced his paws over Matcha¡¯s shoulders. ¡°Today was so tiring. Do you know how hard it was to settle the customers? Let¡¯s go have a drink after this?¡±

    Matcha turned his head to look at the city below him and said, ¡°Not interested.¡±

    Lightning leaned over cheekily and said, ¡°Are you still angry with Zhao Yao? You have been with Zhao Yao for so long, don¡¯t you know what he is like? He loves cats. If you are angry every time he brings a cat back, you should have exploded by now.¡±

    Matcha was speechless. ¡°I am not troubled about that. What does the amount of cats that Zhao Yao brings back got to do with me.¡±

    Lightningughed and thought that Matcha was trying to hide his jealousy. He pulled out his phone secretly. ¡°Matcha, if Zhao Yao can look for other cats, then have you thought about looking for other humans?¡±

    ¡°What?¡± surprised, Matcha looked at Lightning. ¡°What was that?¡±

    Lightning was pressing his phone and he said, ¡°Let me introduce you to something good. This is a new application that Cat King of the North invented. It is called Mo Mo.¡±

    Matcha was bewildered. ¡°Mo Mo? What is that?¡±

    ¡°You can ask cats out,¡± Lightning said excitedly. ¡°As long as you register, then other people and cats can ask you out too.¡±

    ¡°I can understand asking cats out,¡± Matcha responded, ¡°But asked by humans?¡±

    ¡°What you don¡¯t know,¡± Lightning said, ¡°is that supercats like us just have to send cute photos and act cute. Then, people will send gifts and ask us out. As long as we let them stroke us, we can earn hundreds. If they book us for the night, thousands. Many supercats are working there.¡±

    ¡°You can do that?¡± Matcha was shocked. ¡°I can hundreds by letting them stroke me?¡±

    Lightning said, ¡°Yes. You just don¡¯t know the market out there. There are many people who want to y with us supercats. A few hundred just to be stroked for a while. There are a bunch of people who are willing to do it and they are not as stingy as Zhao Yao.¡±

    Matcha asked, ¡°Is it safe?¡±

    ¡°There is nothing to worry about,¡± Lightning said. ¡°They are all contacted by Cat King of the North. They follow the rules and are well mannered. You can look at photos and videos on Mo Mo and go out if you are interested. You can go straight to the hotel if you are afraid of meeting someone you know.¡±

    ¡°Normally, they will start stroking when they enter the room and it will end in half an hour or one hour. It is easy money.¡±

    The few hundred dors was not attractive to Matcha. Being the best salesman of the school, he made several millions a month.

    However, Lightning did not earn that much and hence Matcha told him. ¡°Be careful.¡±

    Lightning was still looking forward to it. ¡°When I earn enough money, I can go and ask the cats out. You haven¡¯t seen the popr female cats on the application. Their fur, their mouths and bodies, I cannot resist them.¡±

    Then, he looked at Matcha with anticipation. ¡°Matcha, do you want to do it with me? Then, we can form a duo and ept duo stroking. It costs much more than one person.¡±

    Matcha rejected Lightning.

    Milk Tea ran into Matcha¡¯s arms and asked, ¡°What are you guys talking about?¡±

    Lightning turned away and Matcha said, ¡°Kittens don¡¯t need to know what the adults are talking about.¡±

    Milk Tea puffed up his cheeks and said, ¡°Brother Matcha, has something been bothering you recently?¡±

    ¡°What problems can I have. I am just working everyday,¡± Matcha said.

    Milk Tea looked at Matcha suspiciously. ¡°But, I hardly see you and Yellow Mud. I feel like you guys are hiding something from me.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡°How can it be! I have been working hard everyday. What are you trying to imply? Do you think that I am fooling around outside?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Milk Tea lowered his head and apologized. ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have said that. But, Brother Matcha you have been neglecting me recently!¡±

    Matcha heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Milk Tea apologize and he made a decision to send the kitten away quickly.

    He was going to go look at Zhao Xue and see if she was suitable for rearing cats.

    On the Cat Ind, in a huge mansion beside the sea.

    Matcha stuck his head through the window and looked into the house.

    After several renovations, alterations, and expansions, the mansion at the seaside had be a super luxurious ce. The mansion expanded outwards from the cliff and it was built entirely out of high tech materials and it is wind and water resistant. Its interior was fitted with the most advanced technological devices. In fact it could be self sufficient for up to 24 hours, with running water and electricity.

    Matcha was watching the situation in the living room and he saw that Zhao Xue was only wearing her singlet and underwear. Her legs were fully exposed as shey on the sofa, eating her chips andughing while she watched the television.

    Her mom came out from the kitchen and frowned when she saw Zhao Xue like this. ¡°Zhao Xue, aren¡¯t you going to start school soon? The holidays are ending. How long do you want to stay at home?¡±

    Zhao Xue took a sip of coke and stretched out her legs. She said calmly. ¡°We are only starting sses in 2 weeks. The hostel is so hot. I rather stay at home.¡±

    Mom¡¯s face fell and said, ¡°You are in your 3rd year already. Shouldn¡¯t you find some internship? You shouldn¡¯t stay at home every time.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay,¡± Zhao Xue answered happily. ¡°Anyways brother is great at earning money. I will just rely on him.¡±

    ¡°The money that your brother earns is his. What has this got to do with you?¡± Her mom was agitated and asked. ¡°Do you expect to rely on your brother and do nothing until you die?¡±

    Zhao Xue leaned back onto the sofa and sighed. ¡°There is no choice. My brother is too outstanding. The amount he earns I will never be able to earn even in 10 lifetimes. Anyways, no matter what I do, people will say that I am relying on him.

    My confidence is crushed and I can only resort to being a rich and withstanding everyone¡¯s jealousy. I have to deal with my share of pressures too. You have no idea how jealous some girls are of me.¡± Then, she started smiling again.

    Her mom felt useless and wondered when her daughter had be like that. She said angrily, ¡°Then, do you expect to live in the house and for me to take care of you forever? From now on, you will clean your clothes and room. Do you hear me?!¡±

    Zhao Xue¡¯s face froze then she remembered something and looked at her mom seriously. ¡°Mom, should we get the cats on Cat Ind to clean the house?¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Mom was surprised. ¡°Can we do that? But, they look so tiny. It¡¯s not so good.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Zhao Xue shook her hands. ¡°They are not normal cats. They are supercats. They have powers and intelligence. Doing household chores is a piece of cake.¡±

    ¡°But, it is not nice to keep doing that.¡± She then asked, ¡°Do we have to pay?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t think there is a need to. Anyways, the cats all work for brother. I will ask brother to pay. It is such a huge mansion and we can¡¯t hire helpers. Mom, it is too hard on you to do the chores everyday,¡± Zhao Xue said. ¡°Anyways, the cats have nothing to on Cat Ind, wouldn¡¯t it be great to do some chores?¡±

    Mom nodded in agreement. ¡°Yeah. The house is so big. I have to spend so many hours cleaning it everyday. I feel like my waist has started hurting recently.¡±

    ¡°The cats can do it.¡±

    ¡°Why not ask them to cook too?¡±

    ¡°Serve us...¡±

    They looked at each other and smiled in consensus.

    Then, Zhao Xue¡¯s ears twitched and yelled towards the window. ¡°Who is it!¡±

    She shed and was at the balcony.

    Meanwhile, Matcha who had activated the Time Freeze was panting behind the tree. ¡°It is too scary. I cannot hand the kitten over to Zhao Xue. The kitten will be enved!¡±

    Matcha made a painstaking decision. ¡°If all the people from Zhao Yao¡¯s side is not suitable then I have to try with someone else.¡±

    ...

    When Matcha used the Time Freeze, on the other end of the earth.

    Zhao Yao was surrounded and sighed. ¡°Did Matcha just use Time Freeze?¡±

    There wererge batches of soldiers pointing their guns at Zhao Yao and there were even nes and tanks who drove overhead. It was as if there was a war.

    ¡°Surrender, surrender immediately! You have been surrounded!¡±

    Zhao Yao blocked his face and thought. ¡°It is toote to use an illusion now. Many digital devices are already looking here.¡±

    ¡°I still have to be careful of their attacks. The cat in my arms cannot endure severe impacts.¡± Zhao Yao thought about it and shook his head. ¡°There is no way. I have to charge my way out.¡±

    Then, to the soldiers¡¯ shock, a golden aura flew to the sky and spread out with Zhao Yao in the center. The golden aura rushed outwards like a shock wave a hit all the soldiers that were within a hundred meter radius.

    Zhao Yao used Deflective Field to resist the countless rocket and armor piercing bullets. He walked out slowly.

    He was thinking as he walked out. ¡°I need so many more experience points to Level 10. To obtain the Awareness Dimension¡¯s powers, I have to level up Elizabeth, Diana, or Catherine to Level 10. Diana is the most reliable option for getting into the Awareness Dimension.¡±

    But, Diana is only Level 7. She is new and I will need 170 000 experience points to level her up.¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed helplessly. ¡°I only have 70 thousand experience points now. I have been umting the experience points and I only have a few thousand experience points. The America trip brought about more experience points. I still need so many experience points. How long will I need? Should I upgrade Elizabeth first? Elizabeth is Level 9 and I only need 90 thousand experience points to level up.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought about it and shook his head. ¡°What if after Elizabeth has evolved, she does not master the powers of Awareness Dimension? It would be wasting my experience points. From the powers they have, Diana have a higher chance.¡±

    Zhao Yao did not stop walking when he was thinking and he soon walked through the battlefield. It didn¡¯t matter if it was normal bullets or tank shell¡¯s, they could not pass through the Deflective Field.

    Then, he looked at the missile in the sky and changed to Time Freeze which had cooled down. He disappeared before the missile touched the ground.

    Zhao Yao disappeared before the missile exploded and the soldiers cheered as they thought that Zhao Yao had turned into ash.

    However, after Time Freeze, Zhao Yao had already appeared in front of another general and asked him while holding onto a photograph, ¡°Do you still remember this cat? You kicked him right? You fractured his bone.¡±

    When Zhao Yao spoke, all the surrounding soldiers pulled out their guns and pointed at Zhao Yao.

    The golden Deflective Field brought along an air wave that deflected all the bullets. Then, it pressed the soldiers against the walls till they were immobilized.

    The general stared at the photo in a panic and said, ¡°What do you want? You have been surrounded. If you kill me, you won¡¯t be able to leave.¡±

    Sheriff, who was in Zhao Yao¡¯s arms said, ¡°It¡¯s him.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded. ¡°The cat tasked me toe for revenge. Are you ready?¡±

    The general¡¯s face changed and he pointed his gun at Zhao Yao. The moment hepleted the action, his gun appeared in Zhao Yao¡¯s hands. Zhao Yao twisted it and threw it onto the ground.

    The general panic when he saw Zhao Yao walk over. ¡°What do you want! If you kill me, you will be hunted down. You are not the apostle, we have the Divine Fire Pce¡¯s support. They will not...¡±

    Bam! Zhao Yao kicked the general in the leg and fractured his shin. The general fell to the ground yelling.

    Then, in everyone¡¯s astonishment, Zhao Yao took his phone out and started filming.

    Zhao Yao saw that the general wasn¡¯t moving and he said reluctantly, ¡°Can you cooperate? Your leg is fractured. Can you hug it and scream? Or my employer will think that I lied.¡±

    When Zhao Yao saw that he did not understand, Zhao Yao sighed and kicked him.

    Then, the general hugged into his leg and started yelling. Zhao Yao videoed it and sent the video. Soon, he got a satisfied reply.

    He looked at the mission panel. Missionpleted, 3000*2 experience points. Zhao Yao nodded.

    ¡°I have finally settled a debt. This was one of the missions with the most experience points. It was so hard.¡± Zhao Yao shook his head and walked out. Just when everyone thought that it was the end and that they had escaped.

    Zhao Yao turned his head and looked at the general. He said with a concerned face. ¡°Hey, do you need help with anything? As long as it doesn¡¯t go against my morals, I can help.¡±

    ...

    Outside Xiao Yu¡¯s window, Matcha stuck his head in and looked at the situation.

    Xiao Yu was lying on the chair, eating fruits and watching television.

    Beside her, Fish Ball and Noodle were lying on the dining table. They were staring at the homework and scratching their ears.

    ¡°It can¡¯t be finished!¡± Fish Ball cried. ¡°I really can¡¯t finish it. It is too much!¡±

    Upon hearing Fish Ball making noise, Xiao Yu turned and asked, ¡°What? Are you done?¡±

    Fish Ball typed, ¡°It can¡¯t be finished Xiao Yu! It really can¡¯t be finished! There is too much!¡±

    Xiao Yu said with disappointment, ¡°If you can¡¯t finish, then eat it. When my mum and dade back, I will tell them that you tore up my homework and ate it.¡±

    Fish Ball was crying and typing on the phone. ¡°It is okay Xiao Yu, I will finish the homework before holiday ends!¡±

    Xiao Yu smiled and walked up to stroke Fish Ball¡¯s head. ¡°Fish Ball, you are so obedient. When you finish the homework, I will buy good food for you.¡±

    Then, she looked at Noodle and asked gently, ¡°What is it Noodle? Do you have any problems?¡±

    Noodle was scared by Xiao Yu¡¯s gentle tone and typed quickly. ¡°There is no problem Xiao Yu. I have written all the diary entries! Look!¡±

    Xiao Yu opened her homework happily and on the first page was written, ¡°Today mum and dad brought me to eat curry pork chop. I am very happy. After I got home, I went to beat the cat up.¡±

    The second page showed, ¡°Today, mum made curry chicken potato for me. Mum¡¯s curry is really good. When I grow up, I want to learn to make curry too.¡±

    On the third page was written. ¡°Today dad bought curry beef rice for me. I want to make curry beef rice when I grow up ..¡±

    Xiao Yu read through the thing and her face grew darker. She looked at Noodle and said, ¡°It is so well written. I think I need to reward you with a truck full of shit.¡±

    Noodle¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Really?¡±

    ¡°Before you eat, I will chop off your head!¡± Xiao Yu yelled. ¡°What rubbish are you writing! Who eats curry everyday?! I am not an Indian!¡±

    Noodle¡¯s head drooped.

    Matcha was watching this in fright. He yelled in his heart. ¡°This is miserable. Fish Ball and Noodle are so pathetic. I suddenly feel blissful to be owned by Zhao Yao.¡±

    Although he had to work during the day, at night he could do anything he wanted. However, Fish Ball and Noodle had to do homework. It was torture.

    ¡°I cannot hand the kitten over Xiao Yu.¡± Matcha jumped down andnded in the grass. He thought, ¡°Humans are unreliable. If this is the case, then should I hand the kitten to other supercats?¡±

    ¡°I need to observe them carefully. The cat must not have any unhealthy habits, must be optimistic and hardworking. The cat must have a stable job and ie. It is best if the cat can have its own house, so there is no need to keep moving. The other members in the house must be agreeable too and they must ept my asional visits...¡±

    Matcha wrote down the criteria for adoption and the names of the supercats that were running through his head.

    ...

    A few dayster.

    In the United States, Amakusa was lying on the dining table happily. The female owner¡¯s eyes were in a daze and she fed Amakusa fish slowly like a puppet. There was a lot of food beside him. There was fried chicken, hamburgers, fries, pizza, cake, steak and more.

    Amakusa was eating happily and said to Giggle. ¡°Hey, you should try the Surstr?mming. Oh my, it must be a gift from god.¡±

    Giggle rolled his eyes and then he mmed the table. He yelled, ¡°I am dead again?¡± He looked at the screen unbelievably and said, ¡°It... it mocked me?¡±

    In the screen, there was a tiny figure jumping on his corpse and shouting, ¡°Useless.¡±

    Giggle felt very angry and his fur stood on end.

    He immediately revived his game avatar and pursued his killer. After a shocking turn of events, his avatar was killed by his opponent again.

    A dwarf jumped on his avatar¡¯s corpse and said, ¡°Don¡¯t let me see you again. I¡¯ll kill you every time I see you.¡±

    Giggle exploded with anger but he did not give up. He revived his avatar, charged and attacked like a tiger. As Giggle¡¯s avatar was about to kill his opponent, his opponent¡¯spanion arrived and both of them killed Giggle¡¯s avatar.

    The dwarf jumped as he said, ¡°Not yielding? You are finished. Our guild¡¯s going to kill you until you concede defeat.¡±

    Bam! A flower pot exploded. Within the room, powerful energies emanated from the air. Numerous electrical appliances and furniture started to quake as though they had a life of their own.

    Giggle¡¯s eyes shot out two feet of bright rays and Amakusa was shocked as he stood up and eximed, ¡°What¡¯s happening? What¡¯s happening? Who¡¯s attacking us?¡±

    Giggle looked at his mistress and asked, ¡°My opponents in the game, how can I find them in the real world?

    The mistress looked dazed as though she was controlled by Giggle. She did not react to the strange phenomenon in front of her and replied, ¡°Only the gamepany has their contact details. However, this is user privacy. The gamepany will not divulge their customers¡¯ information.¡±

    Giggle was so furious he swept theputer to the floor. ¡°What a lousy game! If I encounter them in real life, I¡¯ll squeeze these primitive men to death. Yet, I¡¯m being humiliated by them? This is not fair. Some cat has to change this.¡±

    His fur stood on end as he breathed inrge gulps of air. The more he thought, the angrier he became.

    Amakusa looked puzzled at Giggle and said, ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m going to buy this gamepany... No, I¡¯m going to use this online game to build an awareness country!¡± Giggle said indignantly. ¡°I¡¯m going to torture them to death in my online game. No, I¡¯m going to use the awareness country to harvest the awareness energy on this.¡±

    Amakusa said, ¡°Hey bro, don¡¯t be too hot-headed. Let¡¯s go out and have something to eat. This woman said a shop¡¯s lobster is delicious. Giggle, do you know what a lobster is?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re trash!¡± Giggle said angrily. ¡°We¡¯re being bullied! The primitive men on this arecking in manners. They are showing disrespect to their alien friends. It¡¯s about time we teach them the universe¡¯s protocols.¡±

    ¡°As you wish.¡± Amakusa shook his head and looked at his mistress as he pointed to a pudding and said, ¡°What¡¯s that? Forget it, just feed it to me.¡±

    ...

    Half a monthter, Zhao Yao returned to Cat Ind looking weathered, his face showing fatigue.

    During this period, he had worked the hardest in his life due to pressure from Project X and the unknown alien force. Hepleted mission after mission to let his supercats upgrade their levels so that he would not lose future battles.

    He passed by Jianghai and intended to go home and rest.

    Zhao Yao came to the seaside vi on Cat Ind as he wanted to have a meal with his family and a good night¡¯s sleep before leaving.

    When he opened the door, Zhao Yao was blinded by the brightness. The interior of the vi looked extremely clean as though it was new.

    Zhao Yao noticed that not only was the interior clean, but objects were also arranged ording to their type. Various cups, bowls, chopsticks, drinks and paper towels that before were strewn carelessly were properly arranged and categorized.

    Zhao Yao felt he was in a showt.

    As Zhao Yao opened the door, Zhao Xue, who was wearing a singlet and hot pants walked over and said, ¡°Dad and Mum, you¡¯re back...¡± When she saw Zhao Yao, she was taken aback. She immediately swiveled and walked inside.

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes and shouted, ¡°Zhao Xue, stay right there.¡±

    Zhao Xue sprinted and replied, ¡°I can¡¯t, I¡¯m going to the bathroom. I can¡¯t hold it any longer!¡±

    Zhao Xue shed like lightning and she appeared in front of her room. As she was about to enter, she felt someone behind and was lifted up by Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao squinted his eyes and he gazed at his sister. ¡°Why did you run when you saw me?¡±

    ¡°Nope, I¡¯m going to the bathroom,¡± Zhao Xue said nervously, ¡°Put me down immediately. Otherwise I might wet your body.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Zhao Xue suspiciously and asked, ¡°Why is the house so clean? Did you do spring cleaning recently?¡±

    Zhao Xueughed heartily and said, ¡°Not me, it¡¯s mum and dad.¡±

    The main door creaked open and the voice of Zhao Yao¡¯s mum rang at the doorway. ¡°Zhao Xue, I¡¯m back. Didn¡¯t you ask for takeaway?¡±

    Dad said, ¡°Zhao Xue... she must be yingputer games.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the embarrassed Zhao Xue and asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t the university semester starting? Aren¡¯t you supposed to be studying? Why are you staying at home?¡±

    Zhao Xue said, ¡°Tomorrow... tomorrow, I¡¯ll be back in university.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s ears quivered and he grabbed Zhao Xue as he went downstairs to the kitchen.

    He saw Milk Tea with a scarf and head cover wiping the dining table with a tablecloth.

    Milk Tea heard something behind him and turned his head to see Zhao Yao. He smiled and said, ¡°Master Yao, you¡¯re back? Do you want something to eat? I prepared preserved egg and minced meat porridge. Would you like me to warm it up for you?¡±

    ...

    Five minutester, Zhao Yao sat speechless on the sofa, facing Zhao Xue and his parents.

    Milk Tea sat on one side of the sofa, looking muddle-headed as he had no idea what had happened.

    Zhao Yao covered his face and said, ¡°Are the three of you devils? Why did you let a kitten do housework for you?¡±

    Milk Tea said nervously, ¡°It¡¯s alright Master Yao. Cat Wondend¡¯s pretty clean now and there¡¯s nothing much to be done. I volunteered to clean the house.¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed and said, ¡°Enough Milk Tea, don¡¯t say anymore. This is not your problem... Zhao Xue...¡±

    Zhao Xue was red-faced as she turned away her head. ¡°No... no, brother, it¡¯s not what you think!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s dad stopped Zhao Xue who was about to defend herself. He looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Yes, don¡¯t say anymore Zhao Xue. Your brother¡¯s correct. It¡¯s our fault.

    But Zhao Yao! You don¡¯t understand how it feels like being taken care of by Milk Tea!¡±

    He carried Milk Tea dotingly and said, ¡°This kitten¡¯s very sensible! We can¡¯t go by a day without him!¡±

    Zhao Xue and Zhao Yao¡¯s mum hugged Milk Tea and nodded at Zhao Yao. ¡°We¡¯re now family, nobody can separate us.¡±

    Milk Tea was moved to tears as he stared at them.

    Zhao Yao covered his forehead and said, ¡°Are the three of you trying to shirk away from housework?¡±

    Looking at their pitiful face, Zhao Yao looked up and sighed deeply. ¡°Don¡¯t look at me like that. I¡¯m not going to let Milk Tea do your housework. That¡¯s too much.¡±

    Zhao Xue wailed loudly as she hugged Milk Tea and said miserably, ¡°I don¡¯t want Milk Tea to leave me!¡±

    Milk Tea said shyly, ¡°It¡¯s alright Master Yao. I can do the housework.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Milk Tea¡¯s earnest gaze and he felt sorry for Milk Tea as he remembered Matcha, who would always indulge himself in pleasure after work.

    ¡°Milk Tea, don¡¯t say anymore. You¡¯ll not help them with the housework. Zhao Xue¡¯s only using you. Don¡¯t be deceived by her.¡± Zhao Yao looked at Zhao Xue and his parents and said, ¡°I¡¯ll think of something for the housework.¡±

    If he let his dad and mum do housework in such a big seaside vi, then he was making them work instead of enjoying themselves.

    With his current situation, it was not suitable to get amon cleaner for the housework as the cleaner might turn out to be a spy for his enemies. Moreover, he could not be sure it was safe for his family members.

    The Cat Ind¡¯s supercats had to work in Cat Wondend everyday. If they were to work in the vi, it would be too tiring for them.

    After much pondering, Zhao Yao sent a message to Doll that said, ¡°Are you able to create a robot maid to do housework...¡±

    After settling the housework problem, Zhao Yaoy down and rested for a while. He said to Sheriff, Anthony, and Merlin, ¡°You may y in the vi. Remember, I will always be watching you. Don¡¯t let me catch you escaping.¡±

    The three cats had been with Zhao Yao for many days and they were aware of his way of doing things. They nodded at his instructions.

    Zhao Yao only rested for a while and saw a bowl floating unsteadily behind the table.

    As the bowl passed by the table, Zhao Yao saw Milk Tea supporting the huge bowl like a drunken man.

    Milk Tea put the bowl in front of Zhao Yao and smiled merrily as he said, ¡°Master Yao, you haven¡¯t had your meal! This is the preserved egg and minced meat porridge I prepared! Have some before resting!¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the steaming and fragrant porridge and he felt for Milk Tea. ¡°I don¡¯t feel so tired anymore. Milk Tea¡¯s so obedient aspared to...¡±

    He turned his head away subconsciously and he imagined Matcha strangling him and pulling him out of his sweet dreams. Matcha was shouting, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! Help me charge my gaming ount with more money!¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head and scooped up the porridge as he said, ¡°Milk Tea, I told you not to do any more housework.¡±

    Milk Tea nodded and said with embarrassment, ¡°You haven¡¯t tried the porridge that I prepared for you. Try it. Isn¡¯t it delicious?¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled as he tasted the porridge with a spoon. His brain was filled with overwhelming senses as though lightning had hit him.

    ¡°The soup¡¯s clear taste mixed with the smooth texture of the preserved egg and the sweet fragrance of the minced meat was like the first light rays of the universe! The preserved egg and minced meat were like the Big Bang¡¯s neutrons, protons, electrons and photons that 150 billion years ago continued to spread, cool down and transform into star clouds.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Milk Tea and thought, ¡°Milk Tea... is a porridge genius?¡±

    ¡°How is it? How did it taste?¡± Milk Tea stared with his big round eyes and his small paws rested on Zhao Yao¡¯s thigh as he asked, ¡°Is the porridge delicious?¡±

    Zhao Yao was taken aback but he nodded in agreement. ¡°Very delicious, Milk Tea. If you want to make porridge, feel free to do so and you can ask other supercats to help you.¡±

    This incident reminded Zhao Yao of another matter.

    ¡°I fed Matcha and other supercats the legendary cat rice daily and it¡¯s worth 100 experience points per day...¡±

    After Zhao Yao had awakened his superpowers, he was able to examine the quality of cat meals by using the BOOK. He experimented endlessly to improve the nutrition, taste, and ingredients of the cat meals. Gradually, he elevated the quality from good to excellent to epic and legendary.

    The final legendary cat rice required the Light of Creation of the Extradimensional Belly to cultivate high quality supernatural cat grass for its ingredients.

    As the Extradimensional Belly was used to imprison Project X, the supply of the supernatural cat grass was cut for a few days. At Dust Ball¡¯s insistence, a single-sided Dimension Portal was installed on Cat Ind and the Light of Creation was let out to cultivate a small patch of cat grass and catmint.

    Because of the small size of the Dimension Portal, the quantity of supernatural nts was limited and could only support his daily requirement for the cat meals.

    Previously, the daily 100 experience points for providing cat meals seemed considerable but now it proved too little. To upgrade supercats¡¯ current levels required tens of thousands of experience points. The cat meals could only provide 3000 experience points per month and was insufficient for upgrading the supercats.

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin as he thought, ¡°Perhaps I could upgrade the cat meal? If I were to upgrade the legendary cat rice, what should I do?¡±

    Zhao Yao pondered for a while. ¡°Previously I used normal methods to upgrade the taste and nutrition of the cat meals and added supernatural ingredients toplete the upgrade. If I want to upgrade the cat meal further, I have to make use of superpowers.¡±

    Zhao Yao was going to keep a lookout for cat meal solutions while hepleted other missions.

    As he was too tired, he fell asleep while thinking about his situation.

    A few hourster, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyelids opened and he saw Arthas walking warily by him, his face filled with worry as he stared at him.

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    Arthas said, ¡°I discovered someone using the Dream Dimension or the supposed Awareness Dimension¡¯s energy.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Zhao Yao became grim. Since he knew that cats simr to Project X had captured Doomsday via the Awareness Dimension, he had been looking out for rted intelligence. He was worried that they were still lurking on Earth.

    Zhao Yao worked very hard to gain experience points so that he could prepare for theing crisis.

    Arthas said that someone was using the Awareness Dimension¡¯s energy, so it was highly possible that there were cats simr to Project X.

    Zhao Yao said gravely, ¡°Tell me what happened.¡±

    A few minutester, Zhao Yao followed Arthas to Gaia¡¯s wooden cat dwelling which was in a mess. There were cables, snacks, and among the drinks was a cleared space for putting a Google-like visor.

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°That¡¯s the one?¡±

    Arthas nodded his head excitedly and said, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s the object. As Gaia was using this object, I felt the Awareness Dimension¡¯s energy.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Gaia and asked, ¡°What is this object? Where did you get it?¡±

    When Zhao Yao questioned him, Gaia immediately replied, ¡°This is thetest VR game console from Apple! Zhao Yao give it back to me please!¡±

    Zhao Yao did not care about Gaia, who was jumping at his feet trying to snatch the game console back. He stared at the eyewear in his hand as his heart skipped a beat. ¡°This can¡¯t be... Does that mean this uses the power of the Awareness Dimension...¡±

    At that moment, Zhao Yao suddenly felt his legs give way and found himself slowly sinking into the ground. Gaia actually activated his burrowing ability to make Zhao Yao sink down.

    When he saw Gaia pouncing on the game console, Zhao Yao said with exasperation, ¡°Okay fine, I¡¯ll return it to you after I try it. I¡¯m not going to snatch it from you.¡±

    Gaia replied angrily, ¡°This is linked to one¡¯s identification card! Only one person is entitled to one console and one user ID! If you use it, I won¡¯t be able to use it anymore!¡± Gaia widened his eyes as he continued, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao! I waited a really long for this game console, I will die if I don¡¯t get it. Don¡¯t snatch it from me, please?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought for a while and said, ¡°I¡¯ll buy another one for you. Let me use it today first.¡±

    ¡°Noooo,¡± Gaia said as he started to panic. ¡°Today is the opening day of Closed World! I want to level up quickly!¡±

    Zhao Yao asked curiously, ¡°Closed World?¡±

    Gaia quickly exined, ¡°It¡¯s the game in the VR game console. This is the only game in it for now. It¡¯s called Closed World!¡±

    ¡°So it¡¯s an online VR game,¡± Zhao Yao said as his eyes shed with delight. Even if this thing had nothing to do with the Awareness Dimension, he had to try ying with it.

    He was too fixated onpleting missions every day and night, so he did not know about the release of this game console.

    Though it was only released recently, news of the game had gone viral even before it appeared on the market as it was a VR gimmick produced by a renowned brand like Apple.

    Seeing Gaia¡¯s pitiful face, Zhao Yao did not want to bully his own cat either. Hence, he returned the game console to Gaia and left the Cat Ind. He headed to the Apple exclusive retailer downtown to buy one for himself instead.

    However, he found out that this game was actually really hot in the market as it was sold out in the store and would only be restocked after two days.

    Hence, Zhao Yao decided to just buy it at 10 times the original price from a buyer who had just bought the game console. He rushed back to the Cat Wondend excitedly to try out the game.

    Zhao Yaoy on the bed after wearing the device, with Arthas and Diana nking his sides.

    Zhao Yao said to both cats, ¡°After I start using this thing, you guys should observe carefully to see if there is indeed a rtion to the Awareness Dimension...¡±

    After instructing them, Zhao Yao switched to Diana¡¯s dream abilities and turned on the game console. After burst of rainbow-colored light, he realized he had appeared in the midst of a vast grasnd.

    ¡°This is...¡±

    Smelling the light fragrance in the air and hearing the hustling of the wind in his ears, Zhao Yao could not help feeling touched as he stared into the endless horizon on the grasnd.

    ¡°Virtual reality huh...¡± He grasped his knuckles. If not for the fact that his physique was changed to that of a normal human with his five senses greatly reduced, he would almost have mistaken it for reality.

    However, Zhao Yao¡¯s expression hardened instantly. If this so-called VR was created from the power of the Awareness Dimension, it would mean that the immensely strong supercats from outer space had actually arrived on Earth and started to make their move.

    ¡°In that case, is this a dreamscape?¡± Zhao Yao closed his eyes as he willed himself to activate his superpowers.

    However, just as he thought of doing so, bright red light suddenly shed in his eyes as a bolt of lightning struck. A monstrous beast which radiated lightning bolts all over its body suddenly appeared in front of him and said, ¡°Closer, do you want to start your journey?¡±

    Zhao Yao was dazed for a moment, but he recovered almost instantly. That must have been the opening scene of the game, skillfully created using VR.

    However, Zhao Yao did not answer him and his eyes remained closed. He wanted to activate Diana¡¯s ability to see if he was in a dream.

    However, as Zhao Yao activated Diana¡¯s ability to enter a dream, the grasnd before him turned into two colors, ck and red, as countless police sirens rang all around him.

    Zhao Yao immediately opened his eyes and saw a giant cat appearing slowly in the sky, though he could not see it clearly.

    The cat silhouette looked in Zhao Yao¡¯s direction and said, ¡°Is that a superpower you carry around with you? However... it¡¯s too insignificant.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll let it go this time and suspend your ID for 3 days. If you use your superpower to prate the Closers World again, your ID will be permanently suspended.¡±

    Zhao Yao was taken aback. ¡°This is...¡±

    The next moment, cat paws filled the sky and mmed down on him. Zhao Yao felt his vision turn dark as his body started aching in pain all over. When he opened his eyes again, he was back to reality.

    He wanted to stand up, but he suddenly groaned and clutched his head as he frowned in pain. At that moment, he suddenly had a headache and his body felt weak. He felt like he badly needed sleep.

    ¡°Would I feel so terrible if I died in there?¡±

    Diana immediately leapt on Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, are you alright?¡±

    Zhao Yao exhaled and slowly said, ¡°Yeah, did you guys spot any problems?¡±

    Arthas said in a serious tone, ¡°I felt a connection between your body and the Awareness Dimension just now. It was unbelievable. This ce is unlikely to be the link to the Awareness Dimension. However, you could actually connect to it through this game console.¡±

    Diana said, ¡°Zhao Yao, you fell asleep just now. I wanted to enter your dream but I was totally barred from it. As if... as if your dream had be an impregnable fortress. I could not enter it at all.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded. ¡°The virtual reality I just entered must have been some sort of dreamscape. However, this dreamscape is very unique. It might just exist within the Awareness Dimension.¡±

    Looking at the game console in his hand, Zhao Yao said, ¡°If we guessed correctly, the other party must have created a special dreamscape in the Awareness Dimension. Everyone can be connected to the dreamscape through this game console and supposedly y a game.¡±

    Arthas said seriously, ¡°Zhao Yao, actually I sensed another thing. After you fell asleep, there were signs of activity in your mental energy, as if something was being sucked into the Awareness Dimension.¡±

    ¡°Is that so?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s expression hardened. Though he did not know what the other party was nning to do, the difference between them was obvious.

    The other party had created an online game-like dreamscape in the Awareness Dimension, while he could not even activate his abilities to enter this dream.

    Even after he was connected to this dreamscape through the game console, he was killed instantly.

    ¡°Applying this to the Awareness Dimension, the power difference between me and them is too great. I must speed up.¡±

    After recognizing the power gap between them, Zhao Yao decided not to rest anymore, or else he would be totally powerless against the other party.

    Zhao Yao decided to get on the move again and continuepleting missions to earn enough experience points so that he could level up his supercats.

    Before he left, Zhao Yao also gave Arthas a mission. He gave him the task of figuring out the mechanisms behind the game, Closers World, to see why the other party had created this thing and how they could counterattack.

    The other thing would be to let Milk Tea try using supernatural ingredients and cat rice form to prepare a cat meal. However, the experience points that earned did not increase. It remained at 100 points a day for the Michelin-starred cat meal.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°So Milk Tea¡¯s superpower has really no rtion to preparing meals? I should find a supercat with a simr superpower to try making the cat meals.¡±

    Hence, as he went on toplete more missions, Zhao Yao also kept a lookout for rted news.

    ...

    Before knocking off work, Matcha returned to the Cat Wondend worriedly.

    ¡°A bunch of unreliable cats,¡± Matcha thought. ¡°Ares just goes around fighting and killing with his gang of brothers all the time. If I leave the small cat in his care, the cat will either end up in the hospital or jail.

    Elizabeth and her family are a bunch of p*ssies. If I leave a male cat in their care, he would grow up to be as cowardly as Caesar.

    Lightning, Cannon, and Dust Ball are out of the question as well. If I leave him in their care, he will be a young gambling addict. That would ruin his cat life.¡±

    Matcha had been observing the cats around him closely for the past two days. He realized that none of the supercats were good cats that were motivated, hardworking, or rich with a house of their own.

    ¡°Thinking about it, it¡¯s best to let Yellow Mud and me take care of him. But doesn¡¯t this mean I have to take on another burden? I¡¯m not even married yet and I already have two children. Does this mean I won¡¯t be able to get married for the rest of my life? Is this a joke?¡±

    Matcha¡¯s face darkened the more he thought about it. He followed the other cats around him aboard the dragon in a daze. When he returned to the Cat Ind, he saw a bunch of cats chattering noisily as they gathered in one direction, bustling with discussion about something.

    F¨±jin stared at Gaia and said, ¡°Gaia, bring us on board with you today.¡±

    Gaia said ambitiously, ¡°No, I agreed to train my level with Rice Cake. We want to be the first to finish leveling up in the world!¡±

    Lucifer said, ¡°You can ally with me, F¨±jin. I am already Level 20, we can train together.¡±

    F¨±jin turned away with disdain and said, ¡°You¡¯re always the first to die. Nobody wants to be allied with you.¡±

    Fish Ball bustled over to Gaia¡¯s side and said, ¡°Gaia, Gaia, let¡¯s train together, alright? Can you just count me in?¡±

    Gaia nced at Fish Ball and frowned. ¡°Why are you on Cat Ind? Didn¡¯t you move back to your house?¡±

    Fish Ballughed gleefully. ¡°I don¡¯t even have a phone at home. It¡¯s not as good as being here on the Cat Ind, where there are phones,puters and game consoles avable everywhere for free. Everyone here is nice too, so I love the Cat Ind more.¡±

    Gaia nodded. ¡°Okay, your gaming skills are not too bad anyway. You can train with us.¡±

    Matcha frowned. ¡°What are you guys talking about? What game?¡±

    Fish Ball gasped at Matcha before saying, ¡°Matcha, do you not know? It¡¯s Closers World. We are all ying Closers World.¡±

    ¡°What game is that? Is it fun to y?¡±

    ¡°Of course it¡¯s fun!¡± Fish Ball eximed excitedly. ¡°I have never yed such a fun game in my whole life. It¡¯s the only game I y everyday now. I have lost interest in all the other games. This is the attractiveness of a VR game! Do you know even know what VR is?¡±

    ¡°Of course I know! VR games are actually released?!¡± Matcha was evidently excited about this, so much that he threw the small cat issue to the back of his head. He immediately asked, ¡°Where are you guys ying it? Can I try?¡±

    Hence, after a few minutes, Matcha followed Gaia, Fish Ball, F¨±jin and the rest to Gaia¡¯s cat bed. Arthas and Diana were already there, ying the game.

    The box beside them was full of VR game consoles. It was Zhao Yao who had bought them for Arthas and Diana to experiment with the game.

    Matcha casually took one of them. Under the guidance of Fish Ball and the rest, Matcha put on the device andy in the cat bed.

    As the game console turned on, his vision turned ck. When Matcha opened his eyes again, he realized he was in a vast expanse of snow-coverednd.

    A huge ck bear roared at him before asking in a low, masculine voice, ¡°Closer, do you want to start your adventure?¡±

    A few options appeared before Matcha in a sh. They were ¡°Start¡±, ¡°Leave¡± and ¡°Help¡± and many other options to choose from.

    He naturally chose to start the game. A man d in thin rags appeared before him. Rows of buttons appeared beside the man. As long as Matcha concentrated his attention on the buttons, he could adjust the man¡¯s physicalposition, even his sex and age.

    Matcha began to customize the man excitedly. A two-meter tall man with a bald head and muscr physique appeared before him in no time.

    After pressing the ¡°Confirm¡± button, he reached the next stage to name his character. He could do so via voice message or typing on the virtual keyboard.

    ¡°Eh? What should I name him?¡± Matcha thought for a while. He entered the name ¡®Zhao Yao¡¯, but realized that the ID was already taken.

    He entered the name ¡®Matcha¡¯, but it was taken as well.

    ¡°D*mn.¡± Matcha thought for a while more before he entered ¡®Matcha Latte¡¯, but the username was still taken. He tried again with ¡®Matcha Latte Half Sugar¡¯, but it was yet again taken...

    After he finally secured a username, Matcha decided to start the game. His vision turned ck, and he realized he had appeared on a field. An elder said to him, ¡°Wee to the Hundred Beasts College, Matcha Latte Half Sugar No Ice With Boba. I will introduce you to the courses you will need to learn next...¡±

    It was the introductory course now, but Matcha was not listening to the elder. He was too fascinated by the novelty of his character¡¯s body that he began to y around with his movements. This was his first time being human and using a human body to move. It was a fascinating feeling.

    He touched his palm and jumped on the spot. Matcha said happily, ¡°So this is how Zhao Yao feels normally? So tall!¡± Matcha stared at the bizarre wooden buildings in the distance before turning on the spot and breaking into a run.

    ¡°My body feels much stronger now, but much heavier as well. I can¡¯t lick my butt anymore, and my tail is gone...¡± Matcha suddenly started screaming and shouting excitedly, ¡°Wait... I can speak? I can speak directly now?¡±

    Though he couldmunicate telepathically in the real world, normal humans would not be able to understand him.

    However, at that moment, in Closers World, Matcha realized that the male character he controlled could actually speak in the same voice he normally used in telepathicmunication.

    The ability to control all sorts of human body movements now also enthralled him. After attending the introductory ss, Matcha bounced off to find Fish Ball and the others and could not wait to train with them.

    After a few days, the supercats in the Cat Wondend were all ying the game under Arthas and Diana¡¯s lead to explore and research the Awareness Dimension.

    Zhao Yao was flying in the sky above the great desert, trying to find a special supercat as hepleted more missions and earned experience points.

    ¡°Huh? There¡¯s a small town?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up as he saw a small town a few thousand meters away. He leaped, made a turn in mid-air and flew towards the town. Hended stealthily a few hundred meters away and entered the town like a normal tourist.

    Once he walked in the town, he felt gazes of animosity directed at him. He noticed a few local men staring at him under the eaves.

    Zhao Yao greeted them and said, ¡°Hi, do you know the way to the Divine Fire temple?¡±

    The local men looked at each other and shook their heads at Zhao Yao. Their hidden animosity had be more intense.

    Zhao Yao ignored them. This war-torn area was one of the most chaotic ces on Earth. Conflicts could ur at any time and in any ce.

    Asians were especially out of ce here like fish out of water. Traveling in this war zone, he was susceptible to various attacks and dangers.

    ¡°Because of the chaotic situation, more people needed my help.¡± Zhao Yao thought, ¡°I couldplete more missions here.¡±

    Since he startedpleting missions a few days ago, he discovered greater efficiency than inrge cities.

    He located the only hotel in the small town. He tossed some US dors on the table as he sat down and ordered a few dishes. He requested a cup of water as he took his meal.

    A young girl served him water and nced at him. She hesitated for a while and said, ¡°Leave once you¡¯re done. The locals don¡¯t like you.¡± She left without waiting for Zhao Yao¡¯s reply.

    Sheriff, in Zhao Yao¡¯s arms, said, ¡°Zhao Yao, the townsfolk¡¯s... animosity is intense.¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled and replied, ¡°I want for them to treat us as enemies, otherwise how do we find the cats?¡±

    As Zhao Yao at the dishes halfway, his ears quivered and he heard arge vehicle convoying from outside.

    A few minutester, dozens of jeeps andbat vehicles screeched to a halt in the middle of the town. The rebels disembarked andy siege to the hotel.

    The hotel owner and the young girl hid behind the door trembling while Zhao Yao sat at his original position and finished his meal casually.

    Bam! More than ten rebels wearing an assortment of equipment and carrying various weapons barged in like ruffians and started yelling as they surrounded Zhao Yao.

    A rebel leader gazed at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Are you that Asian bounty hunter? Did you attack three of our strongholds?¡±

    Zhao Yao surveyed the rebels and said telepathically to Merlin, Anthony and Sheriff, ¡°We can¡¯t use superpowers as we¡¯re in the Forbidden Devil¡¯s zone. Looks like there¡¯s a Forbidden Devil¡¯s apostle here.¡±

    Anthony smiled and said sarcastically, ¡°It¡¯s ironic that this band of poor rebel soldiers have the Forbidden Devil¡¯s Zone supercat. If everyone doesn¡¯t have superpowers, aren¡¯t they the weakest?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s target was to capture the Divine Fire Pce¡¯s supercats whilepleting his mission. He was especially interested in the supercat with the Forbidden Devil¡¯s Zone superpower.

    He agreed to exterminate the rebel soldiers for the local government as it was worth 5000 experience points.

    He could umte supercats and experience points at the same time.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°With the Forbidden Devil¡¯s Zone, Extradimensional Belly and Elizabeth¡¯s Control superpower, I should be able to subdue Project Xpletely. I¡¯ll treat Roly Poly and Sphynx cat so that they can help me with the missions and increase my efficiency.¡±

    He was not sure if the Forbidden Devil¡¯s Zone superpower was effective against the alien cats.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s current priority was to fight against the alien cats so he was seeking ways to increase hisbat power and efficiency.

    Zhao Yao thought that after the trip to America, he would be stronger and could subdue Project X. Then he could revive Roly Poly and Sphynx cat.

    The increase in Project X¡¯s power went beyond Zhao Yao¡¯s expectation. Topletely subdue Project X, he had to capture the Forbidden Devil¡¯s Zone supercat orplete the upgrades of his supercats. Then he could revive Roly Poly and Sphynx cat.

    Zhao Yao thought that the Forbidden Devil¡¯s Zone supercat was within his reach. However, the rebels thought otherwise. The rebel leader smiled cruelly as he looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°How¡¯s that? Did you feel powerless without your superpowers? Fools, don¡¯t you know about the Forbidden Devil apostles? Even the Star Cats can¡¯t defeat us, you are like ants to us.¡±

    Since Zhao Yao captured the nine pioneers of the Star Cats and their supercats, the Star Cats were so badly weakened that they were taken over by the government.

    As the Natural Disaster Representatives had lost their superpowers, they lost their ability to control the global US military power and the American supernatural realm declined.

    In the desert area, the Star Cats and the US army initially held the upper hand against the rebels and the Divine Fire Pce. Now, they had turned the tables as the rebels were pressing their attacks at the capital¡¯s doorstep.

    Zhao Yao smiled merrily at them as they were worth a lot of experience points. ¡°Greetings, I surrender. Bring me back to your base.¡±

    The rebels looked at each other and felt strange. As they had more men and guns and Zhao Yao was forbidden from using his superpowers, they thought Zhao Yao had no chance at defeating them.

    Two rebels came forward to capture Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao frowned. Sounds of tires screeching and gunshots rang outside. Hundreds of American soldiers in thetest battle gear fought into the hotel.

    The rebel leader eximed, ¡°The Americans are here!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s fight them!¡±

    ¡°No, defend the hotel! I¡¯m calling reinforcements!¡±

    In the chaotic gunfire, the rebels held their ground in the hotel. As their equipment was inferior, they sustained the growing casualties.

    Less than half an hourter, the rebels surrendered and squatted in the courtyard with their hands hugging their heads.

    The American troops stormed into the hotel and saw the trembling hotel owner, the waitress and Zhao Yao, who was having his meal.

    The American leader, Mike, frowned as he said to Zhao Yao, ¡°Who are you? Why are you here?¡±

    Zhao Yao said harmlessly, ¡°I¡¯m here as a tourist. You don¡¯t have to bother about me.¡±

    Mike and his adjutant looked at each other. Then Mike waved his hand and said, ¡°Bring him back.¡± He looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°I don¡¯t care who you are. You better behave yourself. Once we verify your identity, we¡¯ll let you go.¡±

    Looking at the approaching troopers, Zhao Yao sighed and said, ¡°Are you done with all this nonsense?¡±

    A few secondster, a loud rumbling sound rang in the air as a glow of fire shed by. The hotel roof was torn open and a young girl with ming wings wielding a ming longsword descended from the sky. Her cold gaze, which was filled with murderous intent, was fixed on the American soldiers.

    ¡°Divine Fire Pce¡¯s Divine Lady!¡±

    Seeing the mingdy, the American troopers were shocked and they aimed their guns on her.

    A dense bullet storm flew towards the youngdy. The mes reversed direction in the air and vaporized the bullets before they reached her.

    The mes swept downwards and incinerated the American troopers until they fled in terror.

    ¡°Where are our apostles?¡±

    ¡°Call our apostle unit for reinforcements!¡±

    The youngdy pped her ming wings and they grew to a length of over a hundred meters. Countless ming arrows rained down on the soldiers and turned into an inferno. Even the apanying apostles were burnt to ash.

    ¡°Surrender or die.¡±

    The American troopers knelt down to surrender.

    The youngdy said to the rebel leader, ¡°Tie them up and bring them back.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked amused at the war-torn town and thought that this ce was indeed chaotic. Within an hour, there were several gunfights and dramatic change of events.

    A few rebels walked towards Zhao Yao but the Divine Lady said, ¡°What are you doing? Besides the Americans, don¡¯t harass themoners.¡±

    The rebel leader said, ¡°Your Highness, he¡¯s the apostle that wrecked our strongholds.¡±

    The Divine Lady turned to re at Zhao Yao as though she was going to kill him and said, ¡°Take him away.¡± She pointed her finger and a stream of white mes formed a ring that surrounded Zhao Yao.

    The Divine Lady looked sternly at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°You better behave yourself, otherwise I could reduce you to ash with my thoughts.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked astonished at the ming ring around him. ¡°This ring¡¯s pretty impressive. Why don¡¯t I feel hot? Did you suppress the temperature? That requires strong control of fire.¡±

    The Divine Lady frowned at Zhao Yao, who was strangelyposed and ordered, ¡°Take him away.¡±

    The American soldiers and Zhao Yao were put on trucks and driven to the rebel base.

    On the truck, Zhao Yao looked pleasantly surprised at the twenty odd American troopers, whose heads were shing the golden exmation mark above.

    Zhao Yao looked excitedly at a soldier and said, ¡°Hi, you don¡¯t look good. Do you need my help?¡±

    The American leader, Mike, looked at Zhao Yao, whose body was surrounded by the ming ring, rolled his eyes and ignored him.

    Zhao Yao patted Mike¡¯s shoulders and said, ¡°I can help you escape.¡±

    Mike sighed and said, ¡°You better help yourself first.¡± He looked sympathetically at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°We expect them to ckmail the American government. Once they¡¯ve received the ransom, we will be released. As for you...¡±

    He shook his head and said, ¡°I expect them to decapitate you on their inte video tform.¡±

    Zhao Yao said confidently, ¡°Don¡¯t you worry, I¡¯m a powerful apostle. I let them capture me so that I could sneak into theirir.¡±

    The American troopers did not believe Zhao Yao and ignored him.

    Zhao Yao sighed and stopped arguing with them as he would use his actions to prove himself. Then he couldplete their missions.

    He sat inside the truck, smiling happily.

    With the protection of the Divine Lady, the rebels arrived at a nearby rebel base.

    Zhao Yao was in the truck when his ears quivered and he frowned.

    Within moments, he heard conversations within a radius of a few hundred meters. He discerned that this was not the headquarters of the rebel soldiers and the Divine Fire Pce.

    ¡°It¡¯s alright. This base¡¯s huge so they are not small fries. If I can find their mid-level leaders and discuss with them, they will understand and bring me to their headquarters.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the American troopers and said, ¡°I¡¯m ready to go, would you like to follow me?¡±

    He smiled when the Americans ignored him. Then he tested his superpowers and found that he was forbidden from using them. He discovered that a Forbidden Devil apostle was sitting at the truck¡¯s front seat.

    ¡°I can¡¯t use my superpowers. I can only resort to violence.¡± Zhao Yao thought for a while and stomped his right foot.

    Boom! Zhao Yao burst the truck¡¯s tires with his Taikoo Dragon strength. His heel prated the truck¡¯s floor te andnded on the ground.

    The entire truck shook violently but Zhao Yao¡¯s foot was like a strong pir that pinned the truck to its position.

    The truck driver smashed headlong into the windshield while the American troopers behind fell inside the truck.

    Zhao Yao squirmed and he came out from underneath the truck. He shed and left the Forbidden Devil Zone.

    The rebels panicked as they did not know what happened. The Divine Lady was the first to discover that something was amiss. She flew into the sky and surveyed themotion.

    She noticed a figure with a ming ring running out of the base.

    ¡°It¡¯s him?¡± The Divine Lady¡¯s face was filled with murderous intent. She focused and the ming ring shrunk. She wanted to burn Zhao Yao to ash.

    Zhao Yao was able to use his superpowers after leaving the Forbidden Devil Zone. His Deflective Field destroyed the ming ring with its low temperature of -60¡ãC.

    ¡°He¡¯s powerful.¡± The Divine Lady became grim and gave orders through her microphone. Every rebel and apostle got ready their guns and gear to prepare forbat.

    Zhao Yao used Cheese¡¯s cloak to fly in the sky and surveyed the ant-like activities of the rebels in the base.

    All the guns were aimed at Zhao Yao as the Divine Lady looked at him and grew tens of meters of ming wings. She prepared to take off and engage Zhao in a fight.

    She saw Zhao Yao raise his hand and shout, ¡°Iing feces!¡±

    ¡°What did he say?¡±

    ¡°Sounded like... iing feces?¡±

    ¡°Are you joking? You must have heard wrong!¡±

    As the rebels were shocked by Zhao Yao¡¯s words, sound waves of Zhao Yao¡¯s illusion engulfed them and they saw the sky crack behind him. Mud-like objects fell from the sky like a waterfall, burying the entire rebel base.

    The Divine Lady was shocked by the amount of sh*t dropping down from the sky.

    ¡°Why are there ... such disgusting powers in this world?¡±

    She looked at the feces helplessly. She had the urge to run and not fight.

    But, she could not leave herrades behind. She could only fight. Her wings spread open and she flew towards the sky with fire waves.

    Then, when the powers shed, the feces started burning when it met with the fire. There was a violent explosion and an indescribable smell rushed into the Divine Lady¡¯s nose. She almost fainted.

    ¡°The smell...¡±

    The Divine Lady wanted to leave. This was impossible to fight. She would be stunk to death.

    Then, the horrific voice sounded again.

    ¡°Oh? You can still take it?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s voice sounded like thunder through the entire base.

    ¡°Shit again!¡±

    Bam! The ck soil rumbled and an infinite amount of shit fell from the sky. It was like the entire sky crashed.

    The Divine Lady looked at this scene in shock. She had no will to resist. Her mood turned from shock to disgust, then to fear.

    ¡°So... powers can be that strong?¡±

    Then, she felt her eyes ck out. Her body was engulfed in the darkness.

    In the sky, Zhao Yao descended slowly and in the base, all the rebels had sumbed to the illusion. Some were lying on the ground with white foam in their mouths. Some were shivering and some were in shock with their eyes wide open.

    Zhao Yao did not bother with them. He walked to the truck and grabbed with his hand. He tore the truck apart and the American soldiers were feeling groggy inside.

    Zhao Yao specially created these illusion for them in order to gain experience points.

    Zhao Yao looked at the golden exmation mark on top of their heads and smiled with satisfaction. He asked nicely, ¡°Do you guys want me to save you?¡±

    Mike looked at Zhao Yao and raised his hands. He said weakly, ¡°Save... save me!¡±

    Hence, he dragged the soldiers out of the truck one by one.

    When Mike and the rest saw the rebels all over the ground, they were shocked.

    ¡°What is this apostle¡¯s power?¡±

    Zhao Yao had be an unfathomable apostle in their eyes.

    Zhao Yao told them, ¡°It¡¯s okay. The entire base has been overturned by me. You guys can go out yourselves. I will not send you.¡±

    Zhao Yao was happy about obtaining the few hundred experience points. Although it was not a lot, but it was obtained easily.

    Afterpleting the mission, Zhao Yao walked leisurely to the Divine Lady¡¯s position. He wanted to interrogate her and if she didn¡¯t know then he would look for other authorities.

    He looked at thedy who was lying on the floor with her eyes closed looking very ufortable.

    Zhao Yao woke her up and asked, ¡°Can you tell me where are your headquarters?¡±

    In the Divine Lady¡¯s eyes, the feces that was surrounding her rose up and formed a human figure. The human figure looked at her menacingly and said, ¡°Tell me, where are your headquarters.¡±

    The Divine Lady said, ¡°I will not tell you. Just kill me.¡±

    ¡°Hahaha, why would I kill you?¡± The monster made of fecesughed and said pervertedly, ¡°I was just thinking if I should eat your shit or should you eat mine.¡±

    The Divine Lady was rmed.

    After half a minute, there was an ear piercing scream and the Divine Lady looked at the monster in fright. ¡°Stop it! I will tell you everything! Stop it!¡±

    Actually, Zhao Yao did not need the Divine Lady to exin herself. Sheriff had already gotten all the information from the Divine Lady.

    However, Zhao Yao still listened to the Divine Lady description of the Divine Fire Pce. Then, he grabbed her and flew towards the Divine Fire Pce¡¯s headquarters.

    In the Divine Lady¡¯s eyes, she was grabbed by the air and flew to Zhao Yao, leaving all the feces behind.

    ...

    In the headquarters of Divine Fire Pce, the leader Carl sat in front of his desk and he looked at the map of the country with a smile. His eyes were glistening with ambition.

    At first, the Divine Fire Pce was controlled by the army and Divine Fire Pce was about to disband.

    Who knew that suddenly the American Army would weaken and the number of apostles and powers decrease at an rming rate. The Divine Fire Pce started to win all the wars and defeated the special operations team.

    In a blink of an eye, the Divine Fire Pce that he was leading swept the country and the army started retreating everywhere.

    ¡°Humph, as long as I attack the capital and imprison the president, the Americans will have to admit that I have unified the country.¡±

    Carl got excited. ¡°Then, if we share resources and open the market n a few years, I will be able to take down the neighboring country and I will make America great again.¡±

    When Carl was thinking about his ns ambitiously and how he was going to have his name recorded in history. There was a loud bam and it seemed like a house had copsed.

    ¡°What is the situation?¡± Carl shouted. ¡°What is happening outside? Is the government here?¡±

    Zhao Yao descended and charged straight up the heart of the base like a sword.

    Everywhere he went, he would tear down the walls and tanks he met.

    When he met with an enemy that retaliated, he would engulf them in illusion. The rebels, apostles and terrorists would watch themselves vomit out tonnes of shit and faint in fear.

    ¡°People who block me will die from shit!¡±

    A thunder roared and then he passed through the entire Divine Fire Pce. He looked at the middle building where the leader stayed andughed. Zhao Yao changed his powers to formless palm and grabbed in direction of the building.

    However, when the palm was about to touch the building, it became formless and dispersed into the air.

    ¡°Forbidden Devil territory?¡±

    ¡°You are the one I am looking for!¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed and knocked the Divine Lady unconscious. He left the three cats outside and then shot himself towards the building like a missile.

    In a loud rumbling, the entire building copsed and Zhao Yao walked out of the ruins grabbing Carl¡¯s head.

    Carl looked at the man in front of him in shock. He could not imagine how could he break through all the defense and grabbed him like he was grabbing a chick.

    ¡°Where is the Forbidden Devil?¡±

    When Carl heard the voice beside him, he asked, ¡°Who are you?¡±

    ¡°Who am I?¡±

    There was a noise that rang andrge amounts of rebels and apostles swarmed towards the building. There were tens of thousands of them.

    Upon seeing this, Carl¡¯s eyes glimmered with hope.

    Zhao Yao looked back and rose into the sky while grabbing onto Carl with one arm.

    Zhao Yao grabbed Sheriff and the other two cats into his arms and then changed to Sleep Medusa. He cupped Carl¡¯s ears and said to the cats, ¡°Cover your own ears.¡±

    The three cats immediately took out their ear plugs, dropped their ears and then covered them with their paws. They were very clear on what Zhao Yao was going to do.

    Then, he saw Zhao Yao yell at the rebels, ¡°Get lost.¡±

    As Zhao Yao yelled and due to the effects of the Dual Mode Transmission, the rebels who heard the voice fell down like dominos. They fell down inrge bunches, then jumped up and ran around in fear after the 8 seconds of forced sleep.

    After the 8 seconds of fear, during which they wanted to attack Zhao Yao again or escape. Zhao Yao would yell again and it rang through the base.

    As the second time was double the effects, it was 16 seconds of forced sleep and fear.

    When they woke up again, Zhao Yao would yell again.

    32 seconds... 64 seconds ... 128 seconds...

    Carl watched Zhao Yao y with his men like toys and he was in despair.

    In front of such a strong person, all his authority and wealth and his army was useless.

    Zhao Yao released Carl¡¯s ears and asked, ¡°Can you tell me now? Where is the Forbidden Devil?¡±

    After an hour, when the government soldiers received the notification and rushed to the rebel base. They saw that the rebels were lying around on the ground, unable to be awakened. The tens of thousands of apostles and rebels were still in a forced sleep.

    Zhao Yao brought cat that he just obtained back to Cat Ind.

    That night when Zhao Yao returned to the Cat Ind, he called Elizabeth, Catherine, and Dust Ball to gather.

    Then, Zhao Yao raised the leopard cat in his hands and said, ¡°Foresee, activate Forbidden Devil territory.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I will do it. Please don¡¯t hit me.¡± Foresee looked at Zhao Yao timidly and activated the Forbidden Devil territory.

    All the supercats eximed and realized that they could no longer use their powers.

    Zhao Yao looked at the timid cat in his hands and stroked the cat. ¡°Now, maintain the Forbidden Devil territory and do not stop no matter what happens.¡±

    Upon seeing Foresee nod obediently, Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief.

    ¡°Now, will everyone retreat slowly and identify the area of the Forbidden Devil territory.¡±

    Zhao Yao and the supercats retreated slowly and around 50 meters, they realized that they could cast their powers again.

    ¡°50 meters?¡± Zhao Yao looked at Dust Ball and said, ¡°Let¡¯s start.¡±

    Dust Ball nodded and stood 50 meters away. She was almost sticking to the border of the Forbidden Devil territory.

    ¡°If it is this case, then when Dust Ball spits out Project X from the Extradimensional Belly, Project X willnd in the Forbidden Devil territory immediately,¡± Zhao Yao thought. ¡°However, even if hends in the Forbidden Devil territory, he will still have very strong physical abilities. So there needs to be another way.¡±

    Hence, Zhao Yao was going to try the effects of Forbidden Devil territory.

    He switched to Matcha¡¯s Time Freeze and then stood outside the Forbidden Devil territory and activated it.

    In the frozen world, the Forbidden Devil territory still existed. It meant that although Zhao Yao could not activate Time Freeze in the Forbidden Devil territory, if he activated it outside, the Forbidden Devil territory could not work.

    Then, Zhao Yao tried Elizabeth¡¯s illusion and then he stood outside the Forbidden Devil territory and looked at Foresee.

    However, there were no changes in Foresee after he activated the illusion and controlling powers. Even though Elizabeth¡¯s powers were cast outside, they were unable to affect Foresee.

    Hence, Zhao Yao tried Sleep Medusa and realized that there was still no reaction from Foresee if it was by sound. However, Foresee would sleep if he saw his body.

    Zhao Yao thought about it and crafted a detailed n.

    ...

    In the Extradimensional Belly, Project X was lying at the side in the empty space.

    Then, there was a sh in the Extradimensional Belly and one Project X disappeared.

    The rest of the Project Xs opened their eyes in shock.

    ¡°Is it Zhao Yao? He is taking action?¡±

    ¡°He already has the confidence to defeat me?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that this space is isted. I cannot feel what happened to my clone.¡±

    Then, there was a sh again and another Project X disappeared.

    The Project Xs in the Extradimensional Belly started disappearing one by one and soon, there was only one left.

    ¡°What the hell is...¡±

    Project X disappeared from the Extradimensional Belly too.

    On the Cat Ind, when Project X appeared, he realized that he could not activate his powers anymore. Then, he saw Zhao Yao in a distance and he fell asleep.

    There were dozens of robotic cats pointed their sma cannons at Project X. They wanted to use the high temperature to evaporate Project X.

    Then, Zhao Yao shook his hand and said, ¡°Stop it. This is thest one. Don¡¯t kill him.¡±

    Zhao Yao walked in front of Project X and changed to Nightmare Lord. He pressed in between Project X¡¯s eyebrows.

    ...

    In the darkness, when Project X opened his eyes again, he found that he was back somewhere familiar.

    ¡°This... is the cat toilet?¡±

    In front of him was Lion Head, licking his paws and saying, ¡°Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who is the prettiest cat of them all?¡±

    Upon hearing Lion Head speak, Project X¡¯s heart sank. ¡°What... Zhao Yao, he... turned me...¡±

    Lion Head patted the mirror and said, ¡°Hey, can you hear me? Am I the most beautiful cat?¡±

    ¡°Get lost, fat woman,¡± Project X raged. ¡°It will never be you!¡±

    Bam!

    He saw Lion Head activate her powers and be as big as a lion. She mmed her paws on the mirror and cracked it. Project X was trembling. ¡°What do you want to do?! Stop! I will shatter!¡±

    Lion Head asked coldly, ¡°Who is the cutest cat in this world?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s you. It¡¯s you! Okay!?¡±

    Lion Head showed her ws and scratched gently across the mirror. ¡°You don¡¯t sound very willing.¡±

    ¡°You are the most charming and pretty cat in the world. If I were still a male cat, I would f*ck you.¡±

    ¡°Nonsense! I did not ask you to say such stuff! You are so disobedient.¡± Lion Head turned her head and ran out. ¡°Hahahaha...¡±

    ¡°Rubbish cat.¡± Project X was a bit angry. However, he started worrying about his cracks. ¡°If I am a mirror, will I really die if I crack? Damn it, can the crack be mended? Is there anyone who will help me mend it? Being a toilet mirror is too dangerous, I have to escape.¡±

    Project X was forced into sleep after the Forbidden Devil, hence he did not know that he was in a dream.

    Zhao Yao was watching him from the sky. Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes were sparkling dreamily and he could see every corner in the dreamscape. This was one of the powers of entering a dream.

    Zhao Yao ced Project X in the toilet temporarily and wanted to see what he could control after activating Nightmare Lord.

    The Nightmare Lord power allowed him to drag the target into a dream and then weave dreams.

    However, the dream was woven by both the target¡¯s subconscious and Zhao Yao. Zhao Yao could manipte movement speed and the time in dreamscape. He can also pick 7% of content from the target¡¯s subconscious to weave into the dreamscape.

    ¡°Diana¡¯s Nightmare Lord powers can equate one hour in the dream to one second in the real world. The forced sleepsts eight seconds, including the one second that he wasted cing Project X into the dream, there was still seven seconds left. This means I have seven hours.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the list in front of him. It was the 7% of things taken from Project X¡¯s subconscious.

    ¡°The worse he is affected by the dream, the worse the damage he receives after he wakes up. The worst damage would be equivalent to not sleeping for 7 days. The lowest was equivalent to not sleeping for one day.¡± Zhao Yaoughed. ¡°I¡¯m going to have fun.¡±

    Soon, Project X saw arge group of cats squeezing their way into the toilet and crowding the toilet. It was packed till they were standing right in front of him.

    ¡°Be careful!¡± Project X yelled. ¡°Don¡¯t squeeze me!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m about to shatter! Stop rubbing! Go away!¡±

    ¡°Who peed here?!¡±

    When the ordinary cats finally left, Project X felt like there were a few more cracks on his body and there was an indescribable smell.

    ¡°No, I can¡¯t stay here anymore! If this continues, I will go crazy.¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao! Are you there? Can you hear me?¡± Project X yelled. ¡°Do you not want to revive your cat? If I die, you can never revive them again!¡±

    Zhao Yao would notpromise so easily. He wanted to torture Project X slowly. He wanted Project X to feel his body cracking slowly then, at the seven hour shatter and die.

    When the dreamscape ended, Zhao Yao looked at the results and thought, ¡°Four days without sleep? Looks like I can go further.¡±

    Project X was tired but due to the powers of Sleep Medusa, he still entered the fear and crazy state.

    He was hysterically afraid, however, he did not know why was he afraid, neither did he know what he was afraid of. He only knew that he wanted to escape and run from the fear.

    After yelling, Project X kicked the air and shot off.

    With his physical abilities, no one there could stop him.

    Zhao Yao did not want to stop him either because in the direction in which Project X was heading, there was a hidden Dimension Portal. It was open and he could not see it. The Dimension Portal was one meter away from Project X and with a step, Project X was back in the Extradimensional Belly.

    Zhao Yaoughed. As long as Project X could not activate his powers at the start due to the Forbidden Devil territory, after being under Catherine¡¯s control, it would be very hard for him to escape the rest of Zhao Yao¡¯s powers.

    Zhao Yao walked in front of the Dimension Portal and yelled at the Project X, who was running inside. ¡°Project X!!!!!¡±

    When Project X recovered from the eight seconds of fear, all he could hear was Zhao Yao¡¯s yell. Then, he fell into the forced sleep again and this time it was for 16 seconds.

    Before he fell asleep, his brain only had enough time to give one reaction. ¡± His voice can force me to sleep too? Then, next time I...¡±

    ...

    Outside the Dimension Portal, Zhao Yao looked at the supercats beside him and said, ¡°It is too slow for me to deal with him in the dream alone. You guys shoulde into the dream together.¡±

    All the supercats were forced into sleep and some cats who were already sleeping on Cat Ind were dragged in as well.

    Matcha¡¯s eyes were wide open and he looked at the supercats, who lined up properly. He stretched his back and asked, ¡°What is happening? Wasn¡¯t I sleeping?¡±

    Lightning yawned at the side in confusion too.

    Zhao Yao told them, ¡°You guys are dreaming now. I¡¯ll give you one minute to freshen up. There are chores to be done in the dream.¡±

    Zhao Yao wanted to brief them beforehand so that they can stay clear and when the dreamscape ended they would receive minimal damage which would be not sleeping for one day.

    Matcha¡¯s eyes widened when he heard Zhao Yao. ¡°Working overtime in my dream is too much.¡±

    ¡°Exactly!¡± Cannon yelled, ¡°I have to work overtime in my dreams! This is too much!¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the agitated cats. He shook his hand and said, ¡°Okay. There will only be one overtime and every cat will get a bonus of 1000.¡±

    Upon hearing this, all the cats cheered happily.

    Cannon was excited. ¡°This is great, we can earn 1000 from one night!¡±

    Lightning nodded. ¡°Zhao Yao is finally kind! If each cat is given 1000, won¡¯t he lose millions?¡±

    Looking at all the happy cats, Zhao Yao was thinking, ¡°This time, it is a 16 second sleep. In the dream, it will be 16 hours, overtime 16 hours and I am giving 1000. Aye, it is a loss.¡±

    Zhao Yao could take 7% of every cat¡¯s subconscious and weave it into the dream. By being in the dream, they were helping Zhao Yao. With so many supercats in the dream, Zhao Yao could manipte a lot of things.

    ...

    Meanwhile, Project X felt his body jerk, he opened his eyes to find himself staring at the ceiling of the hospital.

    He sat up and looked at the countless wires attached to his body. He was bewildered. ¡°What is happening? Why am I here?¡±

    After entering the dream, Project X, who didn¡¯t realize it was a dream, had a greatly lowered intelligence. He could not identify the logical problems in the dream.

    Suddenly he heard something outside and saw Lion Head walk in looking depressed. Then, Lion Head smiled at Project X. ¡°Gou Sheng, you are awake?!¡±

    ¡°Who is Gou Sheng?¡± Project X asked Lion Head. ¡°You look familiar. Do I know you?¡±

    ¡°Wu~~~~. Gou Sheng, I am you mother. How could you not recognize me?¡±

    ¡°My mother?¡± Project X wanted to p her. But, he realized that his paw was weak and his powers had disappeared.

    ¡°What is going on? Where are my powers?¡± He jumped up and charged out of the ward. ¡°Where am I? Where are my powers? Who are you?¡±

    F¨±jin and Rakshasa, who was wearing nurses¡¯ uniforms, walked up and forced Project X back into his ward.

    After a few minutes, Project X and Lion Head came to the doctor¡¯s office. Ares was wearing a white robe and looked at Project X from behind his desk. He exined slowly, ¡°This is a typical sign of mania, which is a mental illness. He also has some serious fantasies. My advice is for him to stay in the hospital. It is too dangerous to let him out.¡±

    Project X looked at Ares in suspicion. ¡°You are Zhao Yao¡¯s supercat right? What are you guys doing? Where are my powers? Stop lying to me!¡±

    Ares looked at him and continued talking to Lion Head. ¡°The patient is delusional and created a supercat identity for himself. He made himself believe that he has powers. It will be very tough for you to take care of him alone.¡±

    ¡°Who is delusional?!¡± Project X stood up angrily. He sat down when he saw F¨±jin and Rakshasa take a step forward. ¡°Rubbish.¡±

    Lion Head said, ¡°I understand, doctor. Then, you guys have to take care of him.¡±

    Despite Project X¡¯s yells, he was brought back to the treatment room by F¨±jin and Rakshasa and was tied to the chair.

    Ares looked at Project X and said, ¡°Tell me. What new powers did you awaken recently?

    Not going to speak? Then I will tell you what I know about you.¡± Ares looked at the information on his hand and said, ¡°Gou Sheng, an ordinary vige cat. Came to the city to work and one year ago, you found a job as a security guard. Then, you fell for a female named Elizabeth, who was staying in the area.¡±

    ¡°She was your goddess, but she did not like you. Her boyfriend was Matcha, the Mayor¡¯s cat. You were notparable to him, then you started to imagine that you had powers...¡±

    ¡°This is impossible. I do not believe you! You are lying!¡±

    Suddenly the wall beside him copsed, it showed Matcha and Elizabeth walking on the streets and he was tailing behind them.

    ¡°That is me?¡±

    Then, the scene changed again and he was under Elizabeth¡¯s block. He leaped towards the dustbin and rambled through the dustbin after Elizabeth threw her rubbish. He tore the rubbish bag apart and then looked for Elizabeth¡¯s fur in the rubbish and held it happily in his hands.

    ¡°Picking up female cat¡¯s fur? That¡¯s disgusting!¡±

    Then, the scene changed again. He was caught by Elizabeth for tailing her and Matcha called a bunch of cats to beat him up.

    Looking at Matcha¡¯s arrogant attitude, Project X was trembling with anger.

    Ares said, ¡°Are you seeing illusions again? Your illness is getting worse...¡±

    Apanied by Ares¡¯s description, Project X¡¯s face was turning cker and cker. The next 16 hours, kept challenging his mind and trampling his values. His self-awareness was greatly damaged and he was bullied badly by Ares, Elizabeth, and Matcha.

    Zhao Yao elerated it and watched everything.

    After 16 hours, when Project X woke up again. His eyes were filled with weariness. His reaction and thought process slowed down greatly, however, he still ran around in the Extradimensional Belly due to the fear.

    Zhao Yao: ¡°The physical damage is 3 days? The psychological damage is 4 days? Then, let¡¯s try both together.¡±

    When the fear ended, Project X was spat out by Dust Ball in the Forbidden Devil territory. Project X saw Zhao Yao again.

    This time was a 32 seconds forced sleep, which also meant 32 hours of dreamscape.

    After the repeated dreamscape and the repeated psychological attacks, two days passed in the real world.

    The total damage that Project X had received was equivalent to 100 days of not sleeping. When he woke up again, he looked like he had aged severely. His eyes sank in and looked dazed. Even under induced fear, his body would only tremble and he could hardly move.

    Although he had Sang Biao¡¯s physical evolution, he could not strengthen his consciousness.

    If it was an ordinary person who had received such attacks, they would have died long ago. Project X survived due to his strong physical body, but psychologically he was in a terrible state. His brain felt like it was going to die at any moment.

    Zhao Yao stood by the Dimension Portal. He had spent so long weaving the dreamscape. He did not sleep for several days as well and was weary.

    He looked at Project X, who was trembling on the ground and waited for his fear induction to end.

    Zhao Yao controlled his eyes and prevented him from sleeping. He then said coldly. ¡°Project X, you should understand now. You are no longer capable of fighting us. Heal my cats and I will stop attacking you.¡±

    Project X moved his mouth and talked telepathically. ¡°Sleep... Let me... Sleep...¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at his blood shot eyes and threw Roly Poly into the Extradimensional Belly. ¡°Heal him. Return his powers and intelligence to him. Then, I will let you sleep.¡±

    Project X¡¯s eyes tilted over and looked at Roly Poly. He stretched out his paws and wanted to touch Roly Poly on the head. After Roly Poly entered the Extradimensional Belly, he was shivering in the corner. Project X could not even stand up, not to mention touch Roly Poly.

    Zhao Yao threw a fried chicken onto Project X¡¯s stomach and Roly Poly ran up immediately to bite the chicken. Project X also managed to touch Roly Poly¡¯s head.

    That moment, Roly Poly¡¯s eye gleamed and it shone with wisdom and light.

    All the memories of what he did when he lost his intelligence returned to him. They reyed in his mind like a movie.

    Roly Poly sighed, ¡°I am back.¡±

    After going through the awakening, losing intelligence, getting back his intelligence, Roly Poly felt like he just experienced a very long dream. His view about his life and the world had changed a bit.

    While Project X was touching Roly Poly¡¯s head, a subtle flesh and blood fused into Roly Poly¡¯s head. Roly Poly was taken aback and felt like there was something extra in his body.

    ¡°Project X! You!¡±

    Roly Poly cked out and he realized that he was lying face to face with Roly Poly. Project X looked really old and with his withered body, he looked like he was about to die any moment.

    Roly Poly said coldly, ¡°Project X, what are you trying to do? Zhao Yao would not let you go if you do something funny.¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry. This is your conscious. I am just cing a small part of myself in you,¡± Project Xughed and said weakly. ¡°Roly Poly, do you think that I don¡¯t know? Even if I turn over a new leaf, even if I surrender and save all the cats, Zhao Yao would not let me live.¡±

    ¡°Because my existence itself is a threat to earth, to humans, and all the supercats. It has nothing to do with my personality and what I do.¡±

    Roly Poly sneered coldly, ¡°Then what do you want to do? For me to die together with you?¡±

    Project X¡¯s body floated in front of Roly Poly and he whispered beside Roly Poly¡¯s ears. ¡°Roly Poly, I know your experiences. I understand your powers and know your ambitions.

    I can grant you powers. You will be strong enough to fulfill your dreams. As long you sumb to me, you can use my powers to conquer the world.¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s face changed and said, ¡°Grant me powers?¡±

    Project Xughed. ¡°Yes. The physical body in front of you will be killed by Zhao Yao, but as long you let me diffuse into you and live. I can lend you all my powers and you will be the strongest supercat in the world with unparalleled strength and power.¡±

    Roly Polyughed coldly. ¡°You are only negotiating with me because you are too weak. Or you would have just swallowed my body and controlled me.¡±

    Project X¡¯s face changed and said, ¡°Be assured. I have no interest in your body. It will only cause Zhao Yao to be suspicious.¡±

    ¡°Yeah, you shouldn¡¯t be interested.¡± Roly Polyughed. ¡°But to be your man? Forget it. For cats like you who can¡¯t even save your body, you are not fit to be my boss.¡±

    ¡°What did you say?¡± Project X raged. ¡°Don¡¯t you want my powers?¡±

    ¡°Of course I want powers!¡± Roly Poly said. ¡°Any supercat in this world can defeat me easily and when I lost my intelligence, I could only be walked like a dog. You have never experienced such things. How can you understand how much I desire to have strong powers!

    It is my dream to be the strongest supercat. I want to inherit Cat Wondend and I want to be Zhao Yao¡¯s most trusted supercat! Matcha and the rest will be trampled by me!¡±

    Project X was bewildered. ¡°Then, why did you reject me?¡±

    Roly Poly smiled, ¡°That is because there are some changes to be made about the way we are going to cooperate. You will not be my master. We are equals, you lend me your powers and I grant you a chance to live.¡±

    Project Xughed. ¡°You? Grant me a chance to live?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Roly Poly pressed his paw on Project X¡¯s head and said slowly. ¡°Or you can try to kill me. You know better than me how bad Zhao Yao¡¯s revenge will be.¡±

    Roly Poly tapped Project X¡¯s face and said, ¡°Stay in my body obediently and lend me your powers. If you try anything funny, I have a million ways for Zhao Yao to know your current situation.¡±

    Project X¡¯s eyes narrowed and said slowly, ¡°Okay... Very good... Looks like I did not choose the wrong cat.¡± He let out a series ofughs and disappeared in front of Roly Poly.

    When Roly Poly regained consciousness, it was the real world. He looked at the weak Project X on the floor and ran towards to Dimension Portal.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, I missed you so much!¡± Roly Poly hugged Zhao Yao¡¯s leg and started crying. ¡°You finally saved me!¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked Roly Poly¡¯s head andforted him. ¡°Okay. As long as you are back. Take a break and rx for a period of time.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t need to rest.¡± Roly Poly raised his head and looked at Zhao Yao. ¡°Let me do more chores at Cat Wondend. During that time, I was wasting too much time.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Roly Poly, taken aback. ¡°Okay, as long as you want to. ¡± He asked Sheriff privately, ¡°Is there anything wrong with Roly Poly?¡±

    Sheriff listened and realized that Roly Poly¡¯s mind was filled with words ttering Zhao Yao. There was nothing useful. He tugged his mouth and said, ¡°There is nothing weird. He just keeps ttering you.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and stroked Roly Poly¡¯s head. ¡°You can do your stuff. I have to recover the other cats.¡±

    Since Roly Poly was sessfully recovered, Zhao Yao nned to recover the other cats too. Project X recovered, returned their powers and intelligence to Cat King of the South, Cat King of the North and the others.

    Roly Poly left and heaved a sigh of relief when he no longer saw Zhao Yao. ¡°I made it.¡±

    Project X¡¯s voice rang in Roly Poly¡¯s mind. ¡°You... know how to deal with the mind reading cat already?¡±

    ¡°Humph, I have always been serving Zhao Yao. How can I not have thought about this.¡± Roly Poly said, ¡°The problem is, will you be discovered?¡±

    Project X said, ¡°I am hiding in your subconscious. The cat can only listen to your thoughts and not subconscious...¡± Project X¡¯s voice grew weaker and he said, ¡°I am not going to speak anymore. I need... need to rest...¡±

    Uncle Egg ran to Roly Poly and said excitedly, ¡°Sir Roly! You are finally back!¡±

    Roly Poly turned and said gently, ¡°Uncle Egg, life has been hard on you. I have to think about what needs to be done next. Oh and my phone is with you right?¡±

    Roly Poly took the cell phone that was handed by Uncle Egg and felt better after looking at it.

    ¡°Ah, I haven¡¯t used the inte and yedputer games for a long time.¡± Roly Poly sighed with mixed feelings as he said, ¡°Uncle Egg, tell me about the recent situation in Cat Wondend, especially Matcha. What has he been doing recently?¡±

    ¡°Very well, Master Roly.¡± Uncle Egg looked at Roly Poly and felt that he had an unfathomable aura about him. Even the way he used the cell phone had a mysterious feel.

    ...

    Zhao Yao made a call to Uncle Ho and brought the supercats into the Extradimensional Belly for Project X to heal them.

    Project X ced his paw on the Cat King of the South, Li Li¡¯s head and restored her intelligence and superpower. Project X looked feeble as he said, ¡°That¡¯s enough... Zhao Yao... I have to rest as I¡¯m reaching my limit.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, there are only a few cats left. Rest after you heal all of them.¡± Zhao Yao waved at the astonished Li Li as she walked slowly from the Dimension Portal. She could not understand her predicament so Elizabeth walked to her and exined it in detail.

    Project X¡¯s condition became worse and worse as he healed more supercats. He looked extremely weak as if he was going to die any time.

    After healing thest supercat, Project X shivered as he said, ¡°Is that enough, Zhao Yao?¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled at Project X and said, ¡°You have healed the supercats who lost their intelligence. What about reviving Sphynx cat?¡±

    Project X struggled to hold himself as he said, ¡°The one with the Revival superpower is not me but another supercat.

    I told you before that he arrived on Earth thousands of years ago and he possessed the Revival superpower.¡±

    ¡°But you didn¡¯t tell me his whereabouts and where he is on Earth. Besides the Revival superpower, does he have other superpowers? Why didn¡¯t he leave Earth? Did he maintain contact with the alien cats?¡±

    Zhao Yao blurted out the questions that he had wanted to ask long ago. Previously, Project X was holding the upper hand, hence he was able to negotiate terms with Zhao Yao. The tide had turned against Project X and Zhao Yao was able to ask without restraint.

    Project X hesitated for a while and said, ¡°When the Americans researched superpowers, they also studied superpower history. Theybined technology with superpower and made breakthroughs in world history and archeology.

    I coted their research materials and obtained a new discovery...¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned at Project X¡¯s words. ording to Project X, the Americans found trails of supercats in an ancient tomb a thousand years ago.

    The supercat appeared many times in human history and he showed his Revival superpower numerous times.

    ¡°I intended to harvest the superpowers of Jianghai¡¯s supercats before journeying west to look for this supercat... It¡¯s a pity...¡±

    Zhao Yao did not believe Project X and said telepathically to Sheriff, ¡°How¡¯s that? Is there any problem with his words?¡±

    ¡°No,¡± Sheriff said. ¡°He was natural and did not have any hesitation. He¡¯s telling the truth.¡±

    ¡°What happened in the end?¡± Zhao Yao frowned. To find such a well-hidden supercat was like finding a needle in the haystack.

    Zhao Yao was not sure if the supercat was still alive, whether he was on Earth, or if he still possessed the Revival superpower.

    Zhao Yao organized the materials before sending them to Uncle Ho. This type of massive search was best aplished with government resources.

    Zhao Yao focused his attention on the Extradimensional Belly.

    ¡°It¡¯s almost time...¡±

    Five Dimensional Portals were installed above Cat Ind. The portals were surrounded byrge number of feline robots who aimed their sma cannons at the portals.

    Zhao Yao waved his hand and said, ¡°Open fire!¡±

    sma with a temperature of tens of thousands of degrees celsius shot into the Extradimensional Belly and created violent mes and air streams that filled the space, killing all life within.

    In the extremely high temperature, Project X, who was at his weakest, witnessed his body vaporize. He smiled as he closed his eyes.

    Project X vanished in an instant.

    On Cat Ind, a few hundred feline robots aimed at the Dimension Portal and fired their sma cannons for half an hour. The Extradimensional Belly became a living hell with extreme temperatures and pressure.

    The high temperature objects were released from the Extradimensional Belly and the frosting Deflective Field was used to restore it to normal.

    Zhao Yao stood in the Extradimensional Belly and exhaled. ¡°Finally I seeded.¡±

    He looked at the mission panel that showed he hadpleted the mission of exterminating Project X and received 100,000 experience points.

    Zhao Yao was feeling uneasy. The BOOK gave him superpowers but he relied on his cognition to obtain andplete missions.

    Project X was so easily killed that he felt disillusioned.

    ¡°Forget it. There shouldn¡¯t be any problems. I am going to grow stronger than Project X. Even if clones of him existed, they would die if they came after me.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked excitedly at the BOOK¡¯s panel and it showed BOOK: Level 8 (181507/100000)

    The experience points were sufficient for a supercat to upgrade to level 10.

    ¡°Upgrade to Level 10 andplete the evolution. Then I¡¯ll think of ways to deal with the alien cats.¡±

    After removing his nemesis Project X and healing Roly Poly and the supercats who had lost their intelligence, Zhao Yao was still looking for a chance to revive Sphynx cat. His next significant goal was dealing with the alien cats.

    After pondering, he decided to find out more about Closers World from Arthas and Diana before giving Diana the 180 thousand experience points for level upgrades.

    ¡°Dust Ball, organize the supercats to cultivate catgrass and catmint in the Extradimensional Belly. I¡¯m going to see Arthas and Diana for a discussion.

    Kun Wu, who came with Doll to Cat Ind to witness the death of Project X, was skeptical.

    She had always wanted to visit Cat Ind to see Project X. As Zhao Yao had requested Doll¡¯s help, Doll brought along Kun Wu to fulfill her wish.

    Kun Wu looked at Roly Poly curiously and walked over to him.

    Dust Ball started transporting materials into the Extradimensional Belly to transform it into a supercat haven and catmint farm.

    Zhao Yao arrived at Arthas and Diana¡¯s room and saw Arthas, Diana, Rice Cake, and Gaia lying down in the cat dwellings. They were wearing game visors on their heads and they looked like they were ying theputer game Closers World.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Are all of them yingputer games in the name of research?¡±

    Zhao Yao nudged both of them to wake them up.

    Arthas yawned as he said, ¡°Zhao Yao, why are you here?¡±

    Zhao Yao said glumly, ¡°I¡¯m checking how your research is progressing. How¡¯s it going? Did you uncover the workings of the online game?¡±

    Arthas¡¯ eyes lit up when Zhao Yao mentioned the online game. ¡°This game is very addictive! There are two major camps, various ways to y, dramatic events and interesting creatures¡­¡±

    Zhao Yao became more and more sour and Arthas immediately replied, ¡°Er¡­ I researched the game and it was as expected. It¡¯s an Awareness World built in the Awareness Dimension.¡±

    ¡°In the Awareness Dimension?¡± Zhao Yao said. ¡°Didn¡¯t you mention that in the Awareness Dimension, there¡¯s no concept of space and time like in the material realm? Instead, it¡¯s a chaotic and random dimension that connects the dreamscapes of all life? How could there be a stable game world in such an environment?¡±

    ¡°This is where it¡¯s awesome!¡± Diana exined. ¡°The Closers World is a dreamscape and it¡¯s more sturdy than normal dreamscapes. It can exist for a long time and the scenes are fixed in stone. They are unaffected by the changes in the yers¡¯ awarenesses¡­¡±

    Diana scratched her head as though she was confused and said, ¡°If the Awareness Dimension is a restless ocean, then everyone¡¯s dreamscapes are like sandcastles on the beach that can copse for any reason.

    But in Closers World, the castles are as sturdy as steel fortress.¡±

    Arthas nodded his head and said agreeably, ¡°The dreamscape that I created in the Beverly Hills was like a sand pit aspared to the Closers World¡¯s luxurious automated cat toilet.¡±

    Diana said, ¡°Closers World is able to exist independently in the Awareness Dimension and resist violent drifts of awareness. It is invulnerable against our superpower attacks.¡±

    ¡°That powerful?¡± Zhao Yao frowned and thought. ¡°Isn¡¯t it closely rted to dreamscapes and awarenesses? With Diana¡¯s current level, she¡¯s unable to fight against the alien cats. I¡¯ll let Diana level up.¡±

    Arthas shared another discovery while researching Closers World.

    ¡°I might have found the reason behind Closers World¡¯s existence.¡± Arthas said, ¡°Based on my senses, I can feel the game yers supplying energy to Closers World.¡±

    Zhao Yao was surprised and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t know such stuff was possible.¡±

    ¡°Yes, all living things expend mental energy during our daily activities. When we sleep, our mental energy and body are replenished.¡± Arthas said, ¡°I can sense that we are spending our mental energy when we are ying in the Closers World.¡±

    ¡°All our emotions like joy, anger, sadness,excitement, and thought processes expend our mental energy which is absorbed by Closers World.¡±

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Are you able to guess the use for the mental energy?¡±

    ¡°I suppose a portion of the energy is used to maintain Closers World,¡± Arthas said. ¡°I don¡¯t know about the rest. This is the first time I have encountered the absorbing of people¡¯s mental energy. I can sense the phenomenon but I can¡¯t figure out how they do it.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded grimly. The situation was worse than he thought. He could not figure out what the alien cats were up to and he did not have the power to defeat them in a direct confrontation.

    He was even killed by them in the Awareness Dimension.

    ¡°I¡¯ll level up Diana and let her go through evolution to see if she can fight against the alien cats.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at BOOK¡¯s panel as he awarded tens of thousands of experience points to Diana and upgraded her to Level 10.

    Diana was now Level 10 (0/0).

    It seemed Level 10 was the maximum for a supercat.

    ¡°Is evolution required after attaining Level 10? I¡¯ll upgrade Diana¡¯s skills first.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the skill tree of Level 8 and Level 9 and picked four skills that used up two skill points and expanded the radius of the sleep superpower to 100 kilometers.

    The probability of the subconscious¡¯ content being woven into the dreamscape was 20%.

    One second in the dreamscape was equivalent to 14 hours in the material realm.

    Zhao Yao looked at Diana¡¯s Level 10 skills with great anticipation.

    Dream Demon¡¯s Constitution: You can change the state of your body and enter a dreamscape while expending your mental energy.

    Nightmare¡¯s Breath: You possess mastery of dreamweaving and excellent understanding of human nature. You are able to use this skill once in a dreamscape to deal massive mental energy damage to your target.

    Zhao Yao sighed. These two level 10 were extremely powerful but they were still not rted to the Awareness Dimension¡¯s energy.

    He used up one skill point for Diana to learn Dream Demon¡¯s Constitution and Nightmare¡¯s breath. There were five remaining skill points after he collected the Meteorite Fragments.

    Zhao Yao essed BOOK¡¯s evolution module and selected Diana for evolution.

    He saw the evolution option: Awareness Dimension Evolution.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Evolution option? There¡¯s only one evolution option? I¡¯m not sure if I¡¯m exposed to the Awareness Dimension or only Diana¡¯s allowed this evolution option. I guess it¡¯s my limitation as BOOK provided my superpowers. I experienced the Awareness Dimension¡¯s energy so I¡¯m allowed to choose it.¡±

    This was what Zhao Yao wanted to master. He immediately selected Awareness Dimension evolution and a progress bar appeared, showing 0%.

    Zhao Yao read the words under the progress bar and thought, ¡°I need to umte the Awareness Dimension¡¯s energy toplete the evolution?¡±

    In a huge modernized mansion in United States.

    The blue cat Amakusa was lying on the ground and beside him were a dozen of maids feeding him food, massaging him,bing his fur and grinding his paws.

    The American Shorthair, Giggle, was sitting on the other side of the sofa and looked at the middle aged woman. Giggle looked into the woman¡¯s eyes and entered her awareness and twisted it. ¡°It has to be more and more elerated. All the pathways have to be spread out. It does not matter if the benefits arepromised a bit.

    Remember! The focus has to be on the virtual reality. It can rece sleep. It can be a second human world, do you understand?¡±

    Giggle looked at Amakusa after the middle aged person left. He was angry when he saw that Amakusa was sleeping on the maid¡¯s chest and yelled, ¡°Amakusa, what are you doing? Haven¡¯t I told you to practice in the sealed world?¡±

    Amakusa gulped the salmon down and said solemnly, ¡°Don¡¯t call me Amakusa. I love Earth. I am half an earth cat. Earth is my second home and when we are here, you have to call me by my earth name, Tom.¡±

    Giggle looked at Tom coldly. ¡°Tom, why aren¡¯t you practicing in the sealed world? For humans, it is just a game. As long as you follow what I say, you can train yourself in the game.¡±

    Tom swung his tailzily and said, ¡°The game that you have created is so stupid. Have you yed World of Warcraft? It is so much more interesting than your game. You should learn ...¡±

    After Giggle heard this, the veins on his head started bulging. He had spent so much effort on this game. He had spent dozens of sleepless nights creating that game and could not withstand Tom¡¯s insults.

    Then, his narrowed his eyes and the maid screamed.

    ¡°What is going on? Why did my body be like that!¡± The maid screamed and then she touched her chest in shock. ¡°No wonder they are so weak. They are carrying around such a huge burden. How can they not be weak? Wait... this is a pair of hands. It will be so much easier to catch mice.¡±

    Giggle was speechless. ¡°What are you focusing on? I just shifted your awareness!¡±

    ¡°Oh right.¡± The maid looked at the blue cat that was meowing at them, terrified. Evidently, the maid¡¯s awareness had been shifted onto the cat.

    Tom was surprised. ¡°How did you do it? Giggle, we should have the same powers. How can you shift my awareness? My dad can¡¯t even do it.¡±

    Giggle said smugly, ¡°You should understand that the strength of the awareness dimension is rtive to your capabilities. The stronger person can dominate over the weaker ones. The bigger the difference in capabilities, the easier it will be for me to dominate. In the Awareness Dimension, I am much stronger than you, that is why I can shift your awareness.¡±

    Giggle continued, ¡°How? Do you want to y Closers World?¡±

    He reached out his paws and Tom¡¯s awareness had returned to the cat¡¯s body.

    Tom said in dissatisfaction, ¡°Why did you sent me back? I think that the human body is great. Send me back!¡±

    Giggle was speechless. ¡°If you are going to y Closers World, it doesn¡¯t matter which body you use. You want to use the human body to y other games right?¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay. I am only going to y the game you created,¡± Tom said helplessly. ¡°Give me any game ount that is at its maximum level and give me a legendary weapon.¡±

    Giggle looked at him angrily. ¡°No. Closers World has be an important part of the Awareness Dimension. It has be strong with the help of countless people.

    Because it is so strong and important, it is even hard for me to change its rules. What I can do now is only use Closers World to get stronger. Like how I just transferred your awareness.¡±

    Tom said, ¡°What? You can¡¯t even change the equipment?¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t. But, I can use Closers World to collect energy and strengthen myself...¡±

    Tom said, ¡°What about teleportation? Can I kill instantly? Can I scan the map?¡±

    ¡°I said, I cannot modify the data in the game. But, as long as I can collect the energy in Closers World, I can...¡±

    ¡°What.¡± Tom turned his head with disdain. ¡°You can¡¯t do anything and you call it a game...¡±

    Giggle raged, ¡°Are you ying or not?! You ramble again and I will transfer your awareness into a pile of shit and then let a dog eat you. Then, poop you out again and eat you! Poop you out again and eat!¡±

    Tom tugged the corners of his mouth and said, ¡°It is so childish to use the transfer of awareness for such things.¡±

    ¡°Mary! Get a pile of shit and a dog here.¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay. I will y it. Your temper is so bad. No wonder you do not have a girlfriend.¡± Tom walked towards the game console.

    Giggle reminded him, ¡°Don¡¯t forget about the method I have taught you. I am not asking you to really y the game.¡±

    ...

    In China, Zhao Yao looked at the awareness progress bar and started pondering.

    ¡°How do I collect energy from Awareness Dimension?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought about it and asked Arthas and Diana.

    Arthas thought about it and said, ¡°Collecting the Awareness Dimension¡¯s energy. Like Closers World, where it collects yers¡¯ energy?

    Diana said, ¡°But all the scattered energy will be absorbed by Closers World itself and we will not be able to absorb it.¡±

    Zhao Yao touched his chin and said, ¡°Let¡¯s try it first.¡± He has decided to enter the Closers World first then see if there was any reaction with the Book.

    Ever since Zhao Yao had tried to cast Diana¡¯s powers in Closers World, his ount got sealed for three days. He has not yed that game since.

    Now, he took out the game andid on the floor, entering Closers World.

    A man wearing only his boxers appeared in front of Zhao Yao and at the side was the option to choose the appearance of the character.

    Zhao Yao did not really care about his appearance in games. He couldn¡¯t be bothered to change his appearance and after clicking random a few times, he selected confirm.

    He looked at the dialog box for name and typed. ¡°Your Grandfather¡±

    ¡°Taken?¡± Zhao Yao frowned. ¡°People now have such low standards. Even such names can be taken.¡±

    Zhao Yao tried ¡°Your father¡¯s father¡± and it was also taken.

    ¡°Aye, forget it. Let¡¯s try something that will not be taken.¡± Zhao Yao thought about it and typed ¡°Zou x GuangYuCui¡±

    Atst he had found a name that wasn¡¯t taken.

    After he named himself, the game started. Zhao Yao¡¯s vision went ck and there was a sunny yard in front of him.

    ¡°Hi, Zou x GuangYuCui, wee to Hundred Beasts College.¡± A bearded elderly man in ck robe walked up to him and gave an introduction. ¡°Use your consciousness to control your body how you normally do...¡±

    Zhao Yao realized that he could control the man he had just created and after familiarizing himself for a while, he could control him like he controlled himself.

    Like in real life, his body in the game was too weak.

    Without the strengthened five senses, power, and speed, he felt weak.

    ¡°I am really not used to this.¡± Zhao Yao looked at the elderly man and in addition to being able to hear him, there was a dialogue box on top of his head. It was the text of what he had just said.

    Zhao Yao skipped the basic tutorial and went ahead.

    Suddenly, one man ran over and started kicking the elderly man. After killing the elderly man, he added a few more kicks.

    The men started hitting the elderly and then snorted. ¡°What. This is a bunch of rubbish. There is no equipment. The blogger must have lied.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at that man, who wanted to leave, and the elder that was on the floor. Zhao Yao was shocked.

    He had just set up an ount, had not learnt anything, did not get any equipment and the elderly man was dead. Not only dead, but also naked and now censored.

    This game was too real. There was no life bar and he was dead? And stripping was really just stripping off his clothes. How was this game authorized?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked closely and realize that the robe that men was wearing was the same as the elder. It was not the first time that he had killed an elder. He may have even killed the elderly paired to him.

    Thinking of this, Zhao Yao was very angry. He pointed to the man and shouted, ¡°Hey! You killed my elder and you want to walk off like that?¡±

    The men turned back and looked at Zhao Yao. ¡°Just wait, there will be a new one.¡±

    ¡°So what if there is a new one? It won¡¯t be the same anymore,¡± Zhao Yao said. ¡°And you caused me to wait for it to refresh. This is wasting my time!¡±

    The men sneered. ¡°So what if I have wasted it? You can crawl along the Inte cable ande beat me.¡± Then, he walked off.

    Zhao Yao got even more angry. He red at the name and made a mental note. ¡°His name is Beaten? When I level up, I will beat you till you vomit blood.¡±

    Zhao Yao remembered that in this game, in the grasnd, he could PVP. He would let the men know who he had offended.

    Zhao Yao waited for a dozen seconds and finally the elderly man crawled up and his injuries had recovered. He looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Now, choose your sealed beast. Different sealed beasts will grant you with different powers.¡±

    A dog, turtle, and rabbit appeared in front of Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao frowned and looked at the turtle, dog, and rabbit. Their information floated up to introduce them.

    Dog was physical damage, the turtle was tank and the rabbit was for healing.

    Zhao Yao knew the rules of Closers World. It was to capture animals and seal them in his body. Different animals had different powers.

    However, Zhao Yao did not want to choose any of them.

    The elder smiled at him. ¡°If you are dissatisfied with these beasts, there are some others...¡±

    Zhao Yao was excited. ¡°Did I uncover a secret function? Was it because he was killed? Is the reward for killing the elderly to obtain a secret beast?¡±

    Then, a panel that jumped out in front of the elder and showed a husky, a shiba inu and poodle. They were sold at 1000 US Dors.

    The elderly said kindly. ¡°I have three powerful sealed beasts here and I can sell them to you at a cheap price. If you buy them, you can get a free starter kit and a butcher kit.¡±

    ¡°What the heck...¡± Zhao Yao raged. ¡°The tutorial is not even over and they want to steal my money... What game is this? I don¡¯t even need 1000 US Dors to buy a dog in reality! Furthermore, if I buy a dog I will get a butcher kit? What logic is this? Only an idiot would buy this!¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the three pets. He used to y tank in his previous games and he chose the turtle with his eyes closed.

    The elder looked at Zhao Yao and shook his head. The rest of the beasts disappeared and there was a turtle left in front of Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Then, I shall teach you how to catch a beast and seal it. We shall experiment on your turtle.¡±

    Then, the elderly took out a ball.

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes. ¡°Have you guys not been sued yet?¡±

    The elderly man said, ¡°At this point in time, you may think that this ball looks familiar. But, it is not what you think. Look carefully. This is the way to capture the beast...¡±

    The elder held up the ball in his hand and threw it at the turtle multiple times. After a series of shrieks, the turtle stopped moving.

    ¡°Remember that you have to approach from the back and then hit it hard.¡±

    The elderly man wiped off the sweat on his head and said, ¡°It maybe more tough for beginners. However, as you get more familiar with it, it will get easier. I heard that for the strong ones, they can throw the ball a dozen meters away and it can still knock the target out...¡±

    ¡°Still not knocked out?¡± Then, he rushed up and hit the turtle again. ¡°You need to be careful. Turtles defenses are very high. They may be able to escape!¡±

    Looking at the immobilized turtle, the elderly man was satisfied. ¡°Did you see that? You have to be fast, urate, and hard. Don¡¯t have any mercy.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at this scene in shock. He stared at the elderly man and was wondering if there was a BUG in the system or if the creator of this game was nuts.

    The elderly man opened the closer ball in front of the little turtle that had fainted.

    Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°So we are finally back on track, the turtle should be sucked into the closer ball? This is outright giarism! They will definitely be sued soon. The creator of this game clearly did not bother to spare a thought.¡±

    He saw the closer ball in the elder¡¯s hand shoot out a beam of red light with a ¡°Pong¡± sound, instantly burning the little turtle on the ground into ashes, then suck the ashes into the closer ball.

    The elder passed the closer ball to Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Suck the unconscious closer pet into the closer ball and the seal will beplete. Next, I will teach you how to summon the closer pet in the closer ball.¡±

    ¡°God damn... How is the closer pet still there? My turtle is only ashes,¡± Zhao Yao eximed to himself. ¡°What are you guys thinking? I don¡¯t understand the creators. Are you guys serious? Does thispany still want to make a profit? What kind of ridiculous game is this!¡±

    The elder said, ¡°To summon the closer pet...¡±

    ¡°Guyse over! The elder has refreshed there!¡± A loudmotion was heard. Zhao Yao turned around in exasperation and saw a bunch of smurf ounts dashing over in his direction. Every one of them wore a ck elder¡¯s cloak. They surrounded the elder and attacked him vigorously.

    Then after another round of plundering, turning the elder into a cloud of mosaics, one of them who was originally naked was wearing the elder¡¯s cloak.

    ¡°Now, all of us have clothes to wear!¡±

    ¡°This is such a stupid game. When we just started we were shirtless and only have a pair of boxers. It is so embarrassing to talk to girls!¡±

    ¡°Exactly, finally there are clothes to wear!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go and level up! I heard that by killing the convenience store owner we will be rewarded with equipment. Let¡¯s hurry up!¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the cloud of mosaics on the floor silently, then looked at the people that just attacked the elder and stopped them.

    The leader frowned and said, ¡°What do you want? Just wait for a while, he will be refreshed again...¡±

    ¡°No...¡± Zhao Yao smiled and said. ¡°Look at me, I have also just created this character. Why don¡¯t you guys help me kill the elder too.¡±

    One minuteter, Zhao Yao who was wearing the ck cloak, continued to listen to the elder¡¯s tutorial.

    ¡°In order to use the closer pet¡¯s power, the closer ball must be used. You need to be calm then use the spell you learnt to summon the closer pet¡¯s power...¡±

    Zhao Yao took a look at the closer ball in his hands that read: LV1 ck Turtle

    Then Zhao Yao chose the pooped out option, used it. Immediately, he saw a ck turtle hop out of the ball and crawl into Zhao Yao¡¯s chest.

    At the same time, Zhao Yao received a notification ¡°Possessor of the power of the ck turtle, slight increase in recovery, defense and vitality, learnt ck water control, able to slightly decrease the movement speed of nearby units.

    Zhao Yao knew that character details did not exist in Closers world. One could not view their own attack power, defense, and other indicators. Everything was dependent on estimation and thoughts.

    However, after using the closer pet, he was able to have a rough gauge of his abilities.

    His abilities could be used as long as he muttered the name of the ability in his heart.

    Zhao Yao concentrated on ¡®ck water control¡¯. Immediately, ck water could be seen rising around him. The murky water rose continuously and vigorously.

    ¡°The visual effects... It¡¯s so ugly...¡±

    Zhao Yao suddenly regretted choosing the turtle, however, he had already chosen it and there is nothing he could do about it. He could only catch a better and cooler closer pet in the future.

    The elder spoke again, ¡°Zou x GuangYuCui, now I have a mission for you, are you willing to take it on?¡±

    Looking at the two options that appeared, Zhao Yao chose to ept.

    Then, he heard the elder say directly, ¡°Go to the neighboring pig pen and kill twenty pigs.¡±

    Zhao Yao was amused. ¡°Simple and clear...¡±

    Then the elder smiled graciously. ¡°Of course, if you are willing to pay a small sum, I can let someone else kill the pigs for you.¡±

    Looking at the option of paying USD$10 orpleting the mission quickly, Zhao Yao turned a blind eye to it.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it just killing a few monsters? Only an idiot would pay toplete the mission.¡±

    Hence, Zhao Yao left the house and went to the pig pen. He saw arge crowd of newbies squatting in the pig pen, rushing up to every pig that appeared and killing them instantly.

    Zhao Yao squatted for a while and only managed to touch a pig once after 15 minutes, then he turned impatient.

    ¡°How does oneplete this mission?¡±

    After thinking for awhile, Zhao Yao walked out of the pig pen and ran back shortly, screaming, ¡°Brothers! A legendary creature appeared near the school. Everyone is trying to catch it! Let¡¯s hurry up and catch it!¡±

    ¡°Legendary creature?¡±

    ¡°Where is the legendary creature?¡±

    ¡°Hurry, catch the legendary creature!¡±

    Looking at the crowd that ran out, Zhao Yao smiled. Then his face changed again after seeing the few of them that remained. ¡°What ridiculous game is this? They can¡¯t even gauge the number of monsters to refresh. The game creator is really useless.¡±

    He killed the pigs with the remaining people for ten plus minutes. Zhao Yao scolded while killing the pigs. ¡°Shitty game! Shitty game! If not for the VR element, who would y this game?!¡±

    Then, there was amotion.

    ¡°God damn, we were cheated!¡±

    ¡°Who was said that there was a legendary creature?¡±

    ¡°Wasn¡¯t it that Zou x something something guy?¡±

    ¡°Just by the name he sounds really shitty already!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s face changed. If they returned, it would be harder to kill the pigs. They may even interfere and stop him from killing the pigs.

    What happened next was what Zhao Yao predicted. With the increase in the number of yers, the difficulty of killing the pigs increased. Especially when some people were either intentionally or unintentionally blocking him, slowing down his efficiency at killing the pigs.

    ¡°If this was in reality...¡±

    ¡°This is shitty game with a shitty storyline, shitty flow, and worst of all, the shittiest abilities...¡± Looking at the mission that he was unable toplete after so long, Zhao Yao got so mad that he went offline. ¡°Forget it. I shall find Arthas and his friends to carry me. They yed this shitty game for so long. They should be at a higher level.¡±

    Zhao Yao removed the equipment on his head and nned to look for Arthas and his friends. Suddenly, he remembered to look at Book.

    Surprisingly, the progress of Diana on Book increased by a very slight amount.

    ¡°Oh? This game really does allow the Book to collect awareness dimension?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°How does one collect it? Is it rted to what I have done just now?¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately decided not to look for Arthas. He yed this game for Diana to evolve so he could fight the alien cats. The most important thing now is to try out what actions in Closers World will allow the progress bar to grow.

 Chapter 910: Experiment

    <h4>Chapter 910: Experiment</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    Looking at the growth in the progress bar, Zhao Yao immediately understood. By owning the Book, he indeed collected the awareness dimension¡¯s energy when ying Closers World just now.

    However, how was it collected? He recalled what he had done just now while he was online.

    ¡°Kill the elder? Kill the pigs? Remind them to kill the legendary creature?¡±

    Zhao Yao decided to try doing each of them one by one again to see if the progress bar would continue to grow.

    The moment he went online, he headed towards where the elder was. Once he stepped into the house, he heard the elder talk to him. ¡°You are here, Zou x GuangYuCui.¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes.¡± Zhao Yao replied instinctively. However the NPC did not reply to him. Then, Zhao Yao could be seen sneaking up to the elder, activating ck water and punching the back of the elder¡¯s head.

    The ck water rose from the ground, submerging the elder¡¯s leg, slowing down his movement speed. Then, Zhao Yao gave him two continuous punches on the elder¡¯s head, causing him to back off and turned to stare at Zhao Yao in anger. ¡°You want to kill me?¡±

    ¡°Er...¡±

    Next moment, the elder was seen taking out a torch. mes sparked, bursting into a strong me and heading towards Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao wanted to dodge but his movements were unable to keep up with his mind and he could only retreat. After a series of struggles, he finally died under the torch.

    When he appeared in the house again after rebirth, he looked at the elder who was smiling and Zhao Yao was speechless. ¡°Why can¡¯t I kill you by myself even after learning abilities?¡±

    Hence, he ran out of the house and screamed at the yers outside, ¡°Hurry,e over here! The elder refreshed! I saw him with equipment, someonee over here and help!¡±

    Immediately, many yers looked in his direction and a dozen of them ran over.

    Zhao Yaoughed and looked at the elder, ¡°Let me see how you are going to die this time.¡±

    Even though could use the torch really well, one torch was unable to defeat many opponents. Against the vast number of yers, the elder still died and fell to the ground.

    ¡°Damn! Where is the torch?¡±

    ¡°I did not receive it?¡±

    ¡°Did any of you received it?¡±

    ¡°Maybe it didn¡¯t drop!¡±

    ¡°Aye! Zou X! Didn¡¯t you say there was weapon?¡±

    Zhao Yao shrugged his shoulders and said, ¡°You guys saw the weapon he holding onto too.¡±

    Looking at the crowd of yers walking away in anger, it was unclear if the weapon had not fallen or someone had taken it without saying. After all, the inventory in Closers World is was like the dimensional pocket. If the yer did not take it out, no one would know what was inside.

    Looking at the crowd of yers that left hurriedly and the elder that was left behind in a cloud of mosaics. Zhao Yao quickly went offline to check if there were any changes in the Book.

    However, when he was looking at the evolution bar, Zhao Yao started doubting.

    ¡°The progress is too little, too slow. It is hard to tell if it has increased.¡±

    There was no number on the progress bar, there was only a slight increase in brightness. Zhao Yao was unable to tell whether it had grown or not.

    ¡°If not... try again?¡±

    After Zhao Yao came online again, he fell silent after looking at the elder that was reborn.

    The elder in front of him wore a full ck armour and held a huge sword. His eyes gave off faint dark rays and he was armed from head to toe except for his teeth. He didn¡¯t look like one to be messed with.

    ¡°Does the NPC in this game bes stronger after rebirth? Is this legitimate?

    However, even though the elder seemed unfriendly, with the amount of equipment he was wearing, the yers would only be more keen to kill him. Zhao Yao quickly dashed out and screamed, ¡°The BOSS appeared! The BOSS appear! The BOSS will drop legendary weapons!¡±

    A crowd of yers swarmed over like locust, with their eyes lighting up at the sight of the armored elder. They were close to drooling.

    A dozen yers surrounded the elder, kicking and punching him.

    However, this time the fully amoured elder was clearly stronger. He killed the yers one by one. Meanwhile, more yers noticed and crowd over. Zhao Yao dashed over as well but was squeezed out after barely touching the elder.

    Looking at the elder engulfed by hundreds of yers, Zhao Yao nodded silently and thought to himself, ¡°It seems like the ants are killing the elephant in this game. Are there no settings for defense? Or is the elder too weak?¡±

    Suddenly, he shook his head. ¡°Whatever, why do I have to wonder about the settings of this ridiculous game.¡±

    Soon, the elder died from the crowd of yers. However, it seemed like no one received the armor, causing the crowd of yers to be furious.

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao saw a shocking scene. A female yer rode onto the censored elderly, fished out the closer ball and started to hit the elder repeatedly.

    ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°This is too inhuman!¡±

    ¡°Even if it is an NPC, she shouldn¡¯t be doing this.¡±

    ¡°The creators of this game are not stupid. How can they let you catch a NPC?¡±

    While the yers were expressing their views on society¡¯s evolving values. The female yer can be seen opening the closer ball at the elder after attacking for a period of time.

    The next moment, a beam of light shot out, instantly burning the elder into ashes and sucking it into the closer ball.

    ¡°Oh my god!¡±

    ¡°This is indeed a ridiculous game!¡±

    ¡°What were the creators of this game thinking?¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t keep up with the thought process of Apple...¡±

    That being said, many yers looked at the female yer and asked, ¡°How is the elder?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, what abilities does he have?¡±

    ¡°Come on, show us.¡±

    The female yer looked at the closer ball in her hands and it seemed like she was reading the abilities of the elder. Shortly, she frowned, turned away and walked off. She could not be bothered with the opinions of the other yers around her.

    However, the yers had already developed a strong interest in catching the elder or generally any NPC. They were teaming up to catch the NPCs and the crowd left to catch the different NPCs.

    Zhao Yao was left behind in shock looking at the location where the elder had disappeared. ¡°My elder, he was caught just like this?¡±

    However, now that the elder had disappeared entirely, Zhao Yao was no longer certain.

    Zhao Yao was really not sure about the thought process of the gamepany. God knows if this ridiculous game would revive the elder for him.

    ¡°Never mind, I should go offline to check if the Book grew.¡±

    After that thought, Zhao Yao stopped standing there foolishly and went offline immediately. Looking at the little progress in the bar,paring with what he remembered from earlier.

    ¡°Seems like it grew a little? But it does not seem obvious though.¡±

    ¡°If not... Kill more NPCs?¡±

 Chapter 911: Dianaâ€“ Evolution!

    Next, Zhao Yao joined the other teams in killing NPCs, killing the elder, grocery shop owner, drugstore owner, teacher etc. along the way. However, when he went offline to check the progress bar, he found out that the progress bar did not grow at all.

    ¡°It is not about killing NPC? Previously my eyes were ying tricks on me?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought about it and decided to give the other two activities a try. It was to kill pigs and inform everyone to kill legendary creature.¡±

    Next, Zhao Yao went to the pig pen. It had already been one or two hours since hest went. The yers in the pig pen did not recognize him anymore. Hence, he quietly squatted in a corner and managed to get his hands on five piglets after almost an hour.

    During this period of time, once Zhao Yao touched a pig, he would go offline once to check the growth of the Book progress bar.

    ¡°Even killing pigs does not work?¡±

    Hence after thinking, Zhao Yao walked out of the pig pen and returned after a while, screaming, ¡°A giant panda just appeared at the entrance of the school! Xiao Yu! Let¡¯s go and catch it quickly!¡±

    Along with the scream, the yers in the pig pen got excited immediately and dashed out without a word to catch the giant panda.

    Zhao Yao looked at them leaving and went offline himself to check on the Book¡¯s progress bar.

    ¡°Seems like it grew a little? But it seems like it didn¡¯t grow too?¡±

    Zhao Yao decided to give it another try. However, after he came back online, he did not stay at the pen pig anymore. Instead, he went to different locations of the hundred beasts college such as the ssroom, parade square, grocery shop, drugs shop, groves etc.

    ¡°A giant panda appeared at the college entrance! Guys, go and catch it quickly!¡±

    ¡°Flying ability is rewarded for catching the principal! Guys quicklye over here!¡±

    ¡°A bunny girl appeared in the ssroom!¡±

    After spreading rumors all over the beginner¡¯s college, Zhao Yao went offline right away and looked at the significant growth of the Book¡¯s progress bar in excitement.

    He did a rough estimation. It must have at least been by 5%?

    ¡°Could it be that I need spread rumors? But it doesn¡¯t feel right. There should be a deeper reason behind this.¡±

    After thinking about it, Zhao Yao woke Diana and Arthas up to discuss with them the reason behind the growth of the progress bar.

    ¡°The Awareness Dimension can be collected just by lying to people?¡± Diana who was puzzled and spoke, ¡°There is such a thing?¡±

    ¡°Lying is just superficial significance, Diana.¡± Arthas, at the side, spoke, ¡°The reason should be the change of emotions from many people. The so-called awareness dimension is the projection of consciences of numerous beings in this universe. Therefore, it is like the conscience of a being: chaotic, random and unpredictable.

    And since the Closers World¡¯s creator is able to absorb the power given out from the others¡¯ emotional fluctuations, maybe Zhao Yao, you are able to absorb this too?¡±

    After hearing what Arthas said, Zhao Yao nodded his head in agreement. However, if that was the case, isn¡¯t he snatching stealing resources in Closers World? Why did the creators not realize that this time and kick him out, locking his ount for three days like thest time?

    ¡°Could it be because the type of resources being snatched is different?¡± Zhao Yao muttered to himself.

    Next, Zhao Yao experimented for a few more hours. While the progress bar grew beyond the one-third mark, he finally had a rough idea of the growth for the progress bar.

    ¡°Firstly, there needs to be emotional fluctuations in the other yers.¡±

    ¡°Secondly, they must know that the emotional fluctuation is due to me. Then, direct their happiness, excitement, hate, resentment or whatever emotions at me.¡±

    Arthas added, ¡°Actually the awareness dimension energy you are absorbing is the same as the Closers World¡¯s, however, the yers unconsciously changed their awareness target to you, causing the emotions fluctuations to converge towards you.

    While speaking, Arthas tilted his head. ¡°However, how do you actually absorb it? Why are there no results from the attempts by Diana and me?¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed, obviously he will not tell him the specific settings of the Book. He only patted Diana¡¯s head and said, ¡°Diana, I will collect enough awareness dimension energy today and use it on you for you to evolve!¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Diana surprised, ¡°I am still able to evolve?¡±

    ¡°Yes, definitely.¡± Zhao Yao nodded and said, ¡°You guys are not the only ones with super powers, I have super powers too. My superpower is to train you guys. Did you forget that all of you got strong because of my training?¡±

    Diana quickly nodded and said in her heart, ¡°Hehe then aren¡¯t I stronger than Elizabeth and Mum? Won¡¯t my position at home be the highest? Hehehehe, wait till I evolve, I will show off in front of Elizabeth and let her know who is the bigger sister after all!¡±

    Arthas, who was at the side, was excited after hearing what Zhao Yao said. He felt that he had finally found out the secret to the power of the Headless Horseman.

    However, he remained doubtful that he would be able to let Diana evolve.

    ¡°Continue to evolve? Do you think you are ying Pokemon?¡±

    Aftering to a conclusion, Zhao Yao went online excitedly to Closers World. He nned to fill the progress bar and evolve Diana.

    However, this time when Zhao Yao returned to the beginner¡¯s college and started to scream that the legendary creature was there, only a small group dashed out to the entrance to look for the legendary creature.

    ¡°Look, its that Zou X again.¡±

    ¡°It is that guy who is spreading rumors and cheating people¡¯s feelings.¡±

    ¡°Such low ethics.¡±

    Zhao Yao saw a yer spit at him while walking past and said in his heart, ¡°They already recognize me?¡±

    Zhao Yao screamed for a while more and found out that everyone only gave him a cold look and did not care about him anymore.

    Zhao Yao frowned. The college was a safe ground, he could not pick a fight. Furthermore, his level one ck turtle was such a weakling, he could not defeat anyone.

    At that thought, Zhao Yao nned to return to the small yard to see if his elder had been reborn and if he could organize another attack on the elder.

    However, Zhao Yao was silenced upon entering.

    In front of him was the elder hovering one meter above the ground, covered in armor, with sma mes behind him. He was smiling mercifully at him.

    ¡°God damn...¡± Zhao Yao squatted down for this first time, he felt like giving up on this game.

    ¡°What kind of ridiculous game is this?¡± Zhao Yao covered his face and said desperately in his heart, ¡°Are those alien cats crazy? Who designs a game like this. The advancement is totally wrong!¡±

    However, after some thinking, Zhao Yao eyes lit up. Walking out of the yard, he took out his closer ball and hit the back of the elder¡¯s head hardly.

    ¡°Pong!¡± When the closer ball almost hit the metal armor, the elder¡¯s head turned 180 degrees around swiftly. He looked at Zhao Yao with his eyes filled with red beams.

    Zhao Yao immediately ran out of the door, screaming for his life, ¡°Boss appeared! Boss appeared!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s is that guy again!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s probably lying again!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s not bother.¡±

    However, the next moment, they saw the robot flying behind Zhao Yao and the yers in the area were all stunned.

    ¡°There is really the Boss!¡±

    yers ran up excitedly, along with the sound of missiles, hundreds of yers were bombed to death by twelve continuous missileunches. With Zhao Yao dying along with them.

    However, when he went offline to look at the progress bar, he let out a sigh of relief, he felt like he was on the right path. With his sess, he continued luring more yers towards the elder.

    ¡°Why is the elder so strong?¡±

    ¡°The gamepany is idiotic!¡±

    ¡°Yesterday, I killed over a hundred elderd. Never did Ie across such a strong elder!¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t guess the mechanism of this game! Totally can¡¯t guess!¡±

    After an hour, countless amateurs were killed in their wails. Zhao Yao went offline contentedly. Looking at the full progress bar, he called excitedly for Diana and chose evolve.

    Then Diana¡¯s body was seen inting in a beam of ring white lights.

 Chapter 912: Level 11

    <h4>Chapter 912: Level 11</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    Zhao Yao watched as Diana¡¯s body expanded in a bright sh of white light. As the white light faded, a brand new Diana appeared before him.

    Diana still retained most of the features of a Ragdoll cat but her ears became muchrger. Her tail also became bushier, almost as long as her body, making it look like a big scarf.

    At the same time, Diana had a magical aura around her as pink-colored smoke wafted around her body. She could even float with a slight movement like a balloon that gently descended from the sky, shended on the floor with the same grace.

    Diana stared in astonishment at her physical change. ¡°What happened to me?¡±

    Zhao Yao, on the other hand, was fixated on the Book, as he saw Diana¡¯s level change to Level 11 (0%).

    There was no addition to her ability tree, instead, she received a physical transformation directly.

    In her transformed state, her physical immunity increased by 30%. Each of her superpowers were boosted by another 100%.

    Looking at Diana¡¯s panel, Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Does this mean that the so-called evolution is to strengthen all the skills gained from Level 1 to Level 10 as a whole?¡±

    Zhao Yao felt the Book in his heart. An unexinable and inexorableprehension of his own abilities instantly dawned on him.

    ¡°The skill points earned from Level 1 to Level 10 form the foundation to select the direction path of the supercats¡¯ evolution.

    After evolution starts in Level 10, it builds on this foundation and continuously strengthens it, digging deeper into the potential of these abilities.¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at the progress bar and ¡®+¡¯ sign behind Diana as he thought, ¡°I can¡¯t use experience points to level up anymore?¡±

    He tapped the level up button to try it out. However, he realized that after Diana had evolved and reached Level 11, she could directly absorb the energy from the Awareness Dimension to continue evolving and leveling up.

    Of course, experience points were still useful. However, 10 000 experience points could only be exchanged for 1% evolution progress.

    Zhao Yao understood from this that using experience points to exchange for evolution progress was a very taxing and inefficient method.

    ¡°Looks like I have to absorb energy from the Awareness Dimension to continuously fill up the evolution progress bar to level up Diana.¡±

    ¡°The most effective way to use experience points would be to level up the supercats between Levels 1 to 10.¡±

    Diana began experimenting with her evolved body as well. She could float into the air like a balloon just with a jump, and after kicking off the walls a few times, she began flying across the room, giggling with delight as she did so.

    Arthas stared at her in astonishment. A Ragdoll cat had actually evolved right before his eyes. Her physical evolution was enough to fascinate him, not to mention the evolution in her superpowers.

    Zhao Yao grabbed Diana in midair and stroked her for a bit before his eyes lit up in surprise.

    ¡°This feeling is surprisingly nice. So light and so soft.¡± Nodding his head approvingly, Zhao Yao stared at Diana and asked, ¡°Can you transform back to your original self?¡±

    ¡°Ah? I can still transform back to my original self?¡± Before Diana finished her sentence, the physical changes on her body had diminished and she turned back into her original form as a Ragdoll cat.

    ¡°Eh? I can really change back into my old form?¡±

    It was as if Diana had discovered a new toy to y with. She kept changing back and forth between her evolved form and her original form, squealing in delight asionally.

    ¡°Okay, enough,¡± Zhao Yao said. ¡°Stop ying around if you still want to continue evolving.¡±

    Diana¡¯s eyes lit up immediately as she turned to Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°I can still evolve?¡±

    ¡°Of course you can.¡± Zhao Yao smiled confidently. ¡°Matcha and the rest are ying this game too right? Call them over. Let¡¯s go on a rampage in Closers World.¡±

    ...

    United States.

    Tom, the British Shorthair, sat up from his bed in anger. He took off the game console and threw it hard on the floor.

    Giggle, the American Shorthair stared at him in surprise and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Tom? Why did you throw the game console on the floor?¡±

    ¡°me it on the stupid game you created!¡± Tom got more infuriated when he heard Giggle¡¯s voice. He red his fur as he stared at Giggle and shouted, ¡°What kind of trashy game is this! I died right after I got into the Beginner¡¯s College!¡±

    Giggle asked curiously, ¡°You died? How did you die?¡±

    ¡°I was killed by an old grandpa!¡± Tom replied agitatedly. ¡°An old grandpa dressed in an Iron Man suit! Why don¡¯t you just let him wear an Infinity Gauntlet and just kill off all the yers!¡±

    ¡°Oh! You mean that mutant old grandpa,¡± Giggle said with delight. ¡°This is a bonus scene which I specially created. The old grandpa that dies changes into a different form. I know you like The Avengers and Iron Man, so I specially created this bonus scene with Iron Man in it.¡±

    ¡°I do like The Avengers and Iron Man! But that does not mean I like being killed by Iron Man!¡± Tom was furious. ¡°And what exactly were you thinking? Why did you include the ability to kill yers in the functions of NPCs?! A normal game can¡¯t be yed like this!!¡±

    ¡°It can¡¯t be that bad, right? This is an ingenious configuration I came up with. Not only can NPCs be killed, they can be captured too. You probably didn¡¯t know this, but the old grandpa that guides beginners, thedy boss of the pharmacy, and the college security guard are the strongest beginner suits in the whole Beginner¡¯s Vige. These can be used all the way till Level 30.

    The first person to capture all of them will earn a secret reward too.¡±

    Giggle wondered, ¡°I wonder who will discover this hidden configuration.¡±

    Tom clutched his head as he shook his head crazily. ¡°Who would want to discover such a dumbass configuration!¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re wrong, Tom. You can say that my superpowers arecklustre but you can¡¯t say my games are not good,¡± Giggle said confidently. ¡°Ibined all the good elements from the top 20 trending online games and made it into my Closers World.¡±

    ¡°For example, many yers seek a certain degree of reality in gamey so I configured the NPCs such that they could be killed as well. A lot of yers like surprises so I configured the NPCs with a mutant ability. Even a yer who is walking harmlessly on the streets can be killed. When the yeres back online, they might find that there are less monsters in the game, and all sorts of interesting situations will ur spontaneously.¡±

    Tom covered his face in anguish and said, ¡°Doomed, this game is doomed. This game will crash after at most one month. Ourpany will go bankrupt and we¡¯ll probably not even be able to afford salmon then.¡±

    ¡°How is that possible?¡± Giggle said happily. ¡°Don¡¯t you think this makes the game world more realistic? Doesn¡¯t that make the sensory substitution in the yers even better? These are only the minor details. I have created richer and moreplex missions, soul-stirring plots, exciting power systems and all sorts of fun instance dungeons.

    Heh heh, the humans on this will definitely like this game and be addicted to it.¡±

    Tom muttered, ¡°Who knows, someone might just bomb our gamepany...¡±

    ¡°When more and more people be addicted to our game, Closers World will be stronger and stronger. Everything will run in a healthy cycle.¡±

    Tom was speechless. He turned to walk away as he uttered, ¡°I¡¯m not ying this game anymore.¡±

    Giggle frowned. He said coldly, ¡°Tom, stop being willful. I¡¯m not asking you to really y the game. What I want is for you to absorb the energy of the Awareness through Closers World to improve your ability. This is what we¡¯re really aiming for. ying the game is only a matter of convenience.¡±

    Tom replied indignantly, ¡°This is so troublesome. Can we change to a different training method? You¡¯re really not cut out for creating games. Why don¡¯t we hire some professionals...¡±

    Giggle cut him off angrily and immediately said, ¡°No. You better go and y that game right now. Remember to be a good person and do good, so that they will remember your name in the game, be grateful to you and focus their attention on you. Do you understand?¡±

    As he said that, Giggle pressed his paw on Tom¡¯s head and said, Or I¡¯ll transfer your Awareness to a pile of shit.¡±

    Tom stared at the game console on the floor in despair and cried out, ¡°What must I do for you to let me go? I don¡¯t want to y this game!¡±

    Giggle dragged Tom step by step towards the game console and consoled him patiently, ¡°Stop making a fuss. Just focus on ying the game. It will be more fun the more you y it. Think about it, you can happily y the game and be stronger at the same time, what¡¯s not to love?¡±

    After Zhao Yao logged in, he started wandering around the Beginner¡¯s College aimlessly while waiting for Matcha and the rest toe over.

    ¡°Arthas and the rest said that this game also has many built-in social media applications. It even has Wechat.¡± Zhao Yao sat down on the floor, trying to figure out how to open Wechat.

    Right at that moment, he fell into a trance when he realized he was actually able to feel the Book¡¯s presence in the game.

    ¡°Eh? I can sense the various panels in the Book? I can activate the Diamond Hall too? So I can use the Book in the game?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes flickered before he regained hisposure. ¡°I have Diana¡¯s superpower now. Is it because I can do much more things in dreamscape games like Closers World after Diana evolved?¡±

    At the thought of this, Zhao Yao almost activated Level 11 Diana¡¯s abilities on the spot to see if he could prate Closers World.

    However, just as he thought of activating his superpowers, a strong wave of evil swept his senses, as if the whole world saw his as an enemy. Zhao Yao immediately suppressed the thought of wanting to activate superpowers.

    He experimented with it for a while more before he understood the situation.

    ¡°After Diana¡¯s abilities upgraded to Level 11, there was a great enhancement in her powers. I can even use the Book in a dreamscape game like Closers World, and can even sense a premonition of attack from Closers World itself.¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought, ¡°If I continue to enhance Diana¡¯s Nightmare Lord abilities, I will be able to do more and more things in Closers World. One day, I will attain the ability to fight against those alien cats in the world of the Awareness Dimension.¡±

    After setting this target for himself, Zhao Yao continued to find the whereabouts of the Wechat app. Finally, after a few rounds of shouting, an interface ofmonly used social media apps in the world appeared before him.

    Zhao Yao tapped on the Wechat icon. A message popped out which mentioned that 10 USD were required to unlock the Wechat function.

    ¡°Trashy game.¡± Zhao Yao gritted his teeth as he bought the app in the game. Though he was unhappy about paying, it was be too troublesome for him not to use Wechat.

    After logging into his Wechat ount, Zhao Yao discovered that he had already been added into a group chat with Matcha and the rest of the supercats. The supercats in the group were all gamers that worked for him. Zhao Yao briefly scrolled through the list and saw that there were actually around 70-80 supercats ying Closers World.

    ¡°No wonder Bai Quan told me that the cats in the Cat Wondend have been cking off recently. So they have been ying this game all day.¡±

    Zhao Yao saw a flurry of emoticons being sent to the chat when he entered. Suddenly, someone asked in the chat, ¡°Who added Zhao Yao to the group?¡±

    The group suddenly fell silent. The next thing he knew, he got kicked out of the group.

    ¡°What the hell! Who kicked me out?!¡± Zhao Yao was instantly enraged. He immediately sent a message to Matcha screaming, ¡°Quick add me in! And who kicked me out of the chat?¡±

    Matcha replied, ¡°Lightning kicked you out. They were scared you wouldn¡¯t let them continue ying the game anymore.¡±

    Zhao Yao held in his temper as he replied, ¡°Tell them, in this game, there is no distinction between boss and worker. Everyone is equal. After I join the group chat, you guys are free to say whatever you want, I will not me you guys at all.¡±

    ¡°... Okay,¡± Matcha said. ¡°I¡¯ll add you back into the chat.¡±

    Zhao Yao was added back into the group chat and immediately saw a flurry of messages that read things like, ¡°Long live our Boss!¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Enough, stop trying to bootlick me. Let¡¯s all work hard together in Closers World from now on and make a mark for ourselves.¡±

    Lightning eximed, ¡°Hurray! Are we going to create a guild? Whoever offends us, we¡¯ll kill that person until they quit the game.¡±

    ¡°What nonsense are you on about again,¡± Zhao Yao said. ¡°Come to my office after work tomorrow. I want to have a chat with you. Your work attitude has been a little problematic recently.¡±

    Lightning was speechless.

    Roly Poly asked, ¡°What are we supposed to do in the game?¡±

    Zhao Yao was surprised. He asked, ¡°Roly Poly, you¡¯re ying the game too?¡±

    Roly Poly said, ¡°I haven¡¯t started ying. I just heard that you had some things to do in this game, so I asked the cats to add me into the chat first.¡±

    ¡°Very good. I¡¯ll not say any more on Wechat. Let¡¯s all just gather at Beginner¡¯s College first. I¡¯m standing at the entrance of the College. My ID is Zou x GuangYuZhui.¡±

    After Zhao Yao mentioned that, he did not send anymore messages and stood at the entrance of Beginner¡¯s College to wait for the supercats to arrive.

    Not long after, a cute, youngdy shorter than 1.5m skipped over to Zhao Yao and stood before him, staring right at Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao nced at the Lolita. Her ID was ¡°Irresistibly Meng¡±.

    Zhao Yao asked when he saw her staring at him, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    The Lolita immediately spoke in a greasy male voice and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, it¡¯s me. I¡¯m Roly Poly.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s good mood was instantly ruined. He stared at the cute face before him and said, ¡°Why did you use a female character? And you made it so... so...¡±

    ¡°Cute right?¡± Roly Poly said. ¡°I knew you would like this kind of look, so I looked up online tutorials and gathered data from other people to create this look.¡±

    Zhao Yao was exasperated. ¡°Do you know that speaking in a male voice with that face makes people really ufortable?¡±

    ¡°I can keep quiet and not speak.¡± Roly Poly giggled as he sat beside Zhao Yao. He asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, do you want to touch me?¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Zhao Yao was flustered as he immediately said, ¡°What are you talking about?!¡±

    Roly Poly patted his chest and said, ¡°I said, do you want to try touching me? Don¡¯t you like to stroke us all the time? Want to try stroking us in the game?¡±

    A new yer who was just passing by suddenly heard a male voice saying all this to another male. The yer turned around and gasped in shock at what he saw before walking off hastily.

    Zhao Yao was furious. ¡°Roly Poly! Stop saying all this nonsense in the game! Look, other people are getting the wrong idea!¡±

    ¡°Oh,¡± Roly Poly said passionately. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Zhao Yao, just try it. When I went on the forum to search for online tutorials, I realized that many humans want to try touching as well. You can try it too.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯te near me!¡± Zhao Yao stretched out his hand to push Roly Poly away, but he and Roly Poly were both at the same beginner level in the game, so their powers were around the same level. After some tussling, a bolt of lightning struck down on them.

    Roly Poly was immediately expelled beyond five meters. When he looked at Zhao Yao, his mouth hung open in shock at what he saw.

    At that moment, Zhao Yao¡¯s head had turned into a pig¡¯s head. The words ¡°Kink for Molesting Females¡± was added in front of his ID in yellow.

    ¡°Kink for Molesting Females Zou x GuangYuZhui.¡± Roly Poly was shocked. ¡°Zhao Yao you¡¯ve suddenly gained a new ID? Is this a hidden reward?¡±

    ¡°Reward your head! This must definitely be a punitive measure of this dumbass game! It even said that my attack and defense power have been reduced by half! That and this ID will be in effect for half an hour!¡±

    Zhao Yao was about to explode from anger at the ID on top of his head. This was at the entrance to the College. There were too many new yers walking around. Seeing the varying stares of admiration, disgust, or even envy from the new yers who passed by, Zhao Yao really felt like going offline to kill Roly Poly right at that instance.

    However, he noticed a sudden, slight increase in the evolution bar in the Book, and became delighted for a moment.

    ¡°This works too?¡±

    Zhao Yao was delighted by the slight increase in the evolution progress.

    ¡°No one knows me here anyway. It¡¯s a virtual world, why not...¡±

    Zhao Yao turned to Roly Poly and gestured with his finger, ¡°Roly Poly,e here.¡±

    Roly Poly walked up to him nkly. The moment Zhao Yao made his move, another bolt of lightning struck him and expelled him away.

    Roly Poly stared at the user ID above Zhao Yao¡¯s head and screamed, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! The name above your head became even more yellow!¡±

    ¡°Humph, this is just the start!¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes sparkled as he stared at Roly Poly. He started cackling madly as he threw himself at the female character controlled by Roly Poly.

    Not long after, bolts of lightning struck continuously and rained down on Zhao Yao. Roly Poly stared in astonishment at Zhao Yao, who had totally transformed into a standing pig. The name above his head had be so yellow it looked as if it was about to turn into shit and drip down.

    His ID also became ¡®Female Terminator¡¯ Zou x GuangYuzhui.

    The yers who passed by were all shocked by the sight of him.

    A female yer eximed, ¡°How did that person be a pig, is that his skin in this game? How cute!¡±

    Her boyfriend beside her immediately dragged her aside and warned her, ¡°Didn¡¯t you see that he¡¯s a yellow name yer?¡±

    The female yer asked, ¡°What¡¯s a yellow name yer? Is it the same as a red name?¡±

    Her boyfriend replied, ¡°Yellow names are a configuration of Closers World. This is a virtual reality game, so people who behave in a lewd manner towards characters of the opposite sex will be yellow names.¡±

    As he said that, the man nced at Zhao Yao carefully, as if he was scared that the other party would charge over and rape them. ¡°A yer as yellow as him, who knows how many heinous deeds he has done. And look at his name, Zou x GuangYuzhui. One look and you can tell that this guy is very uncultured. Who knows, he might actually have vited that girl called Guang Yuzhui.

    Anyway, let¡¯s just stay far far away from him and take the other path.¡±

    Zhao Yao did not see himself the same way as the yers around him did. He just chuckled continuously as he stared at the evolution bar in the Book. He could now see the Book and the evolution bar in the game. Though it was difficult to tell by how much the evolution bar had increased, he realized that each time there was an increase, the bar would sh brightly to clearly signal the increase.

    ¡°Heh heh, murder and arson, the riches they bring [1. lyrics of a song],¡± Zhao Yao cracked his knuckles menacingly. ¡°I¡¯ve finally understood the profound secret to evolution.¡±

    Next, Zhao Yao¡¯s supercats gradually arrived at the entrance of the College and found Zhao Yao, who now had a yellow name.

    A bald, muscr man who looked like a beggar donned in rags walked up to Zhao Yao and asked hesitantly, ¡°Zhao Yao?¡±

    ¡°Oh? Matcha? You¡¯re finally here.¡± Zhao Yao stared at the muscr man before him and nodded in approval. ¡°Wait here first, the other cats are still on their way.¡± When he said that, he stared at the equipment on Matcha¡¯s body and asked, ¡°Why do you look so ragged and worn-out? Are you faring badly here? What¡¯s your level now?¡±

    Matcha replied, ¡°The problem lies with this stupid game. All the equipment has a certain degree of durability to it, but there¡¯s nowhere to repair our equipment! So I can only continue wearing my worn-out equipment.¡±

    ...

    Tom screamed, ¡°Amakusa! Where do we repair our equipment? Why can¡¯t I find it?¡±

    ¡°Repair equipment?¡± Amakusa asked in confusion, ¡°Why do you need to repair equipment?¡±

    ¡°My equipment durability ran out!¡±

    ¡°Did I set such a thing?¡±

    ¡°You didn¡¯t?¡±

    ¡°Did I?¡±

    ...

    Matcha puffed out his chest in pride as he took out his Closer Ball and said, ¡°As for my level, my main pet is already level 32!¡± As he said that, he opened the Closer Ball and screamed, ¡°Come out! Vagabond!¡±

    As he said that, a vagabond emerged from Matcha¡¯s ball.

    Zhao Yao eximed, ¡°You can release the animal in the Closer Ball?¡± At the same time, he thought to himself, ¡°I am actually not the least surprised by how Matcha caught a Vagabond as his Closer pet. Have I ustomed myself to this game?¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°Yeah, once your Closer pet reaches Level 10, you can learn the skill of unleashing your Closer pet. You can release another Closer pet for battle while being possessed by one.¡±

    Vagabond nced at Matcha before lying on the floor and sayingzily, ¡°Let¡¯s make this clear. Battles are out of the question for me, sleeping in the Closer Ball is the only way to survive.¡±

    Zhao Yao pointed at the Vagabond and asked, ¡°Matcha, what¡¯s the use of this thing? And speaking of that... How did you manage to raise this useless bum to Level 32?¡±

    Matcha replied, ¡°Vagabond is really useful!¡± After he said that, he turned to Vagabond andmanded, ¡°Vagabond! Activate your sleeping power now!¡±

    When the Vagabondy down on the floor and started sleeping, Matcha exined, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao! Quick look! My Vagabond is asleep now. In this state, Vagabond¡¯s defense and recovery power will be greatly strengthened! After being attacked, it will counter with mockery as well. This is the best pet to use for pulling tricks on opponents.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes. ¡°Forget it, why am I so concerned about this dumbass game.¡± As he said that, he turned his gaze on a hairy man behind Matcha, who was covered in thick, bushy hair all over his body, including his nostrils, armpits, chest, and stomach.

    ¡°You are?¡±

    The hairy man said, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao! It¡¯s me, Lightning. Can¡¯t you tell?¡± He stared at the thick, bushy hair on his body in satisfaction as he continued, ¡°This game¡¯s character customization function is so good. It could actually restore some of my former grandeur.¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed and asked, ¡°What¡¯s your level now?¡±

    Lightning replied, ¡°My main pet is at Level 29 now. I was training with Matcha just now! I¡¯m really close to bing Level 30.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded. This level should be just right. At that moment, another two people appeared. Both of them had all kinds of light shing around their body and were d in heavy armor. The weapons behind them were so glossy that they shone brightly. Both characters were on horseback, and the hooves of their horses zed with fire.

    The pair came over to Zhao Yao. One of them asked, ¡°Zhao Yao? What¡¯s the matter? We still need to train together.¡±

    ¡°Rice Cake?¡± Zhao Yao stared at them in surprise and asked, ¡°What are both of your levels now?¡±

    The other person replied, ¡°I should be around Level 300, if I add up all the levels of my six Closer pets. I can open another Closer positionter on. Each character can capture up to six Closer pets and gain the powers of these six Closer pets.¡±

    ¡°You are Gaia?¡± Zhao Yao was stunned. ¡°The two of you... How much time did you guys actually spend on this dumbass game?¡±

    Rice Cake just stared curiously at Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, where did you get this outfit from? I want it too!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s limited edition and it ran out.¡± Zhao Yao nodded in approval at the both of them as he said, ¡°It will be easier to do things now since both of your levels are so high.¡±

    Matcha added in and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, actually, if I add up all my other Closer pets¡¯ level, my level should be close to 300 as well. Aside from Vagabond, I have another more powerful Closer pet!¡±

    Zhao Yao ignored Matcha¡¯s call and pulled Rice Cake and Gaia happily to one side for a discussion.

    Matcha looked glumly at the three of them discussing secretively and sighed, ¡°Zhao Yao¡¯s wrong. He shouldn¡¯t just look at the levels. It doesn¡¯t mean a high level yer is powerful. Rice Cake and Gaia¡¯s Closer pets might not be able to defeat my Vagabond.¡±

    ¡°Yes, indeed.¡± Lightning looked yearningly at Matcha¡¯s Vagabond and said, ¡°Matcha, may I borrow your Vagabond for two days?¡±

    Matcha frowned and said, ¡°Don¡¯t you know that Closer pet¡¯s are like canned food? Both are not to be lent? If you want one, catch it yourself.¡±

    ¡°The Vagabond is hard to capture. Don¡¯t be petty. Let me y with it for two days.¡±

    ¡°Never.¡±

    ...

    On the other side of the college, a suave and charismatic youth stood behind the wall and looked excitedly at a girl nearby.

    The youth¡¯s name was written on his head¡ªShadow Wings.

    Shadow Wings sighed as he gazed at thevishly dressed girl with golden wings. ¡°Tender Sweetie looks attractive.¡± Seeing the girl chatting warmly with a few guys, he said enviously, ¡°Sweetie¡¯s very warm and concerned about her friends. She¡¯s an angel.¡±

    Shadow Wings recalled the first time he met her.

    A chance meeting at a training, they chose the same pet and looked at each other smiling. The girl said, ¡°I¡¯ll let you have it.¡±

    Shadow Wings drummed up his courage to add her as a friend. Every time he messaged her, he would get a reply and even receive her photos and videos.

    She was a well-shaped beautiful girl, who kept many cats. She seemed to like small animals.

    ¡°I heard Sweetie¡¯s surname was Zhao and I feel I understand her better.¡± He thought blissfully, ¡°I wonder when I will be able to meet her in real life.¡±

    The world abruptly shook in his eyes. Shadow Wings exited the game unhappily. He opened his eyes, looked at the middle-ageddy in front of the bed and said, ¡°What¡¯re you doing? Don¡¯t you see that I¡¯m busy?¡±

    Thedy looked at the chubby guy and said worriedly, ¡°Ming Ming, don¡¯t you have an interview tomorrow? It¡¯s sote. Quit ying the game, okay?¡±

    The chubby guy flew into a rage and shouted, ¡°You are such a bore! Olddy! I¡¯m doing important things in the Closers World! You don¡¯t know anything!¡±

    Thedy said gently, ¡°Don¡¯t stay upte. Have an early bedtime. The interview tomorrow is important...¡±

    ¡°What do you know? The Closers World is able to rece my sleep and save much more time! I¡¯m doing them a favor by going to that lousy job¡¯s interview.¡± The chubby guy scoffed and picked up hisputer game visor as he said, ¡°Don¡¯t bother me again.¡±

    Thedy looked at her son who had been unemployed for more than ten years and said, ¡°Ming Ming, buck up for tomorrow¡¯s interview and work hard for your job...¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re irritating!¡± The chubby guy said angrily. ¡°If you nag me again, I won¡¯t go to the interview!¡± He put on his game visor and said, ¡°When I¡¯m using the game visor, don¡¯t bother me!¡±

    After entering the Closers World, Shadow Wings admired his youthful body and smiled blissfully as he walked over to Sweetie and greeted her. ¡°Sweetie, why are you at Beginner¡¯s College? Are you taking on a mission?¡±

    Sweetie smiled at him and said, ¡°No, I¡¯m meeting my friends here.¡±

    ¡°Friends... are you doing missions with your friends? Can I join you?¡± Shadow Wings apanied Sweetie happily to the college entrance and saw her smiling happily as she ran to a man with a perverted alias.

    Shadow Wings almost lost control of himself when the man caressed Sweetie¡¯ head.

    ¡°Why is that happening? Why is my angel Sweetie so intimate with a pervert...¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Shadow Wings, who was ring at him and asked Elizabeth curiously, ¡°Elizabeth, is that my cat? Who¡¯s he?¡±

    Tender Sweetie smiled as she fanned her wings and said, ¡°A friend.¡±

    Zhao Yao touched Elizabeth¡¯s wings and said in amazement, ¡°Elizabeth, your outfit looksvish, what¡¯s your level?¡±

    ¡°What? You mean this?¡± Elizabeth scratched her head and spat out her tongue. ¡°It¡¯s like a costume. I¡¯m not too sure. Someone gave it to me. My Closer pet¡¯s highest level is 15.¡±

    Gaia and Rice Cake looked enviously at Elizabeth¡¯s costume and muttered, ¡°That¡¯s a divine costume and is only avable in themerce store. It¡¯s equipped with the highest attack bonus and is very, very expensive...¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Elizabeth suspiciously and said, ¡°What have you done in the game...¡±

    Elizabeth tilted her head and smiled. ¡°Nothing much, I only made lots of friends.¡± She thought, ¡°I also got Zhao Xue to earn some pocket money.¡±

    She surveyed the down-and-out Matcha and gazed at the well equipped Rice Cake and Gaia who were envious of her. Sheughed inside. ¡°Even if Rice Cake and Gaia were to increase their levels, they would just be powerful fighters. They would still be no match againstrge numbers.¡±

    Elizabeth scoffed at Matcha. ¡°Matcha and Lightning are in a worse shape. Poorly equipped and with low levels, they aren¡¯t even qualified to be fighters.¡±

    ¡°They don¡¯t understand. Humans take over the world while cats only need to subdue humans.¡±

    Zhao Yao saw that most cats had arrived, leaving only cats who had ventured too far and would not being back in time. He assigned tasks to the cats.

    ¡°Our target is to massacre everyone in Beginner¡¯s Vige!¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°Besides killing them, you have to let them know that it¡¯s me who wanted them dead.¡±

    ¡°Kill all the beginners at the training shop outside the Beginner¡¯s Vige.¡±

    ¡°I want everyone in the wilderness outside the Beginner¡¯s Vige killed. Everyone in the college must know about my legendary existence!¡±

    ¡°Follow me!¡±

    Zhao Yao led his cats to a massacre in the wilderness. He wanted all the yers to remember him.

    ¡°Anger and Hatred! Give me the ingredients for my evolution!¡±

    ¡°Flee!¡± A short youth wearing shorts screamed, ¡°Zou x GuangYuzhui¡¯sing!¡±

    A watermelon cleaver shot out and impaled the head of the youth, who vanished after shing rays of light.

    ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°Zhao¡¯s ganging!¡±

    ¡°Run! They¡¯re here to kill newbies!¡±

    Tom lifted his head that showed his name, Earth¡¯s Tom, above. He was shirtless and holding a staff as he joined others in a training quest to kill small monsters.

    Hearing the panicked screams of the surrounding yers, he asked curiously, ¡°What¡¯s going on? Who is Zou x GuangYuzhui?¡±

    His friend said, ¡°You don¡¯t know him? He¡¯s a scumbag! Rumors said he likes to sexually harass female yers and his alias is super perverted. Nobody knows how many female yers he had harassed!¡±

    Another friend said, ¡°The second thing he likes to do is kill newbies, massacring the training area outside the Beginner¡¯s Vige!¡±

    Tom was puzzled as he said, ¡°If he¡¯s perverted, wouldn¡¯t his attributes be lowered and lose hisbat power? How could he kill others?¡±

    ¡°He has a group of perverted members who kill newbies for fun.¡± Looking at the fleeing crowd, Tom¡¯s friend said, ¡°They¡¯reing! Let¡¯s run!¡±

    Tom¡¯s eyes lit up and said, ¡°You run first. I¡¯ll stay behind to provide cover for you!¡±

    His friend looked strangely at him and said bewildered, ¡°Just flee directly...¡±

    Tom patted his chest and said, ¡°No problem. Run quickly. Even if I die, I¡¯ll help dy them!¡±

    His friends looked at each other, swiveled and fled without a word.

    ¡°Is he nuts?¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ll not team up with him in the future. He seems like a mental case.¡±

    Tom did not know the contents of his friends¡¯ private chats. He looked happily at their receding figures and thought, ¡°I suppose they will be grateful to me and provide some Awareness Dimension¡¯s energy?¡±

    He turned his head to look at the approaching crowd and thought, ¡°If I can convince the Zhao Gang to subdue to me, won¡¯t I earn more Awareness Dimension¡¯s energy?¡±

    A group of people surrounded him and the leader was a bald burly man, Matcha.

    Matcha walked up to Tom and said arrogantly, ¡°Good fellow, you are brave. You didn¡¯t flee when you saw us?¡±

    Tom said righteously, ¡°Your behaviour of the strong killing the weak is not to be condoned. Let me tell you...¡±

    ¡°Enough of your nonsense.¡± Matcha waved and said, ¡°Beat him to death!¡±

    The big group of supercats rushed forward and threw kicks and punches at Tom.

    Tom shouted in fear, ¡°Wait a minute!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll be d*mned if I wait!¡± Lightning punched Tom¡¯s head.

    Tom fell to the ground with a loud bang and he retorted angrily, ¡°Talk nicely. If you use violence, I¡¯m going to be angry!¡±

    Matchaughed. ¡°Angry?¡± He stepped on Tom¡¯s face and said, ¡°Show me your angry face.¡±

    Tom was furious and wanted to retaliate but was beaten down to the ground. As a newbie, his level and number count was inferior. He was no match for Matcha and the supercats.

    Tom screamed furiously, ¡°Stop it! Don¡¯t force me! Otherwise I¡¯ll destroy the Earth!¡±

    ¡°Hahaha, you¡¯re destroying the Earth!¡± Lightning said, ¡°Brothers, let¡¯s beat him up!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m an alien! You can¡¯t beat me! You are causing a gctic conflict! You¡¯ll be the Earth¡¯s criminals.¡±

    ¡°Carry on beating!¡±

    ¡°Unreasonable!¡± Tom said in a fury. ¡°You¡¯re all dead! Remember this! Earth will be destroyed because of you!¡±

    As Tom vanished after shing rays of light, Lightning pped his hands and said, ¡°This silly dude uses aliens to fool us when his alias is Earth¡¯s Tom.¡±

    Matcha waved his hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go to another ce.¡± They went in the direction of the training area like a swarm of locusts.

    ...

    Tom exited the game once he arrived at the Beginner¡¯s Vige. He took off his game visor and ran to Giggle and meowed in anger.

    ¡°Giggle! I was ughtered!¡±

    Giggle did not flinch as he continued browsing the inte and said, ¡°Oh.¡±

    ¡°Contact thepany immediately and locate their whereabouts! I want to teach them a good lesson in the material realm!¡±

    Giggle diverted his gaze at Tom and said, ¡°No, don¡¯t do anything that would affect the Closers World adversely,¡± He said. ¡°It¡¯s no big deal being killed in the game. Train hard and avenge yourself.¡±

    Tom red at him and said indignantly, ¡°You didn¡¯t say that when you were killed in the game! This gang of yers are killing newbies daily and it¡¯s not good for the game! The killed newbies may not want to y the game anymore!¡±

    Giggle narrowed his eyes and said, ¡°That¡¯s a problem. We can¡¯t allow rogue yers to kill newbies indiscriminately. As the Closers World be more powerful, I¡¯m unable to change the rules at will.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯re we going to do?¡± Tom said anxiously. ¡°Those rogue yers are doing their evil deeds! Do we stand by and do nothing?¡±

    The American Shorthair Giggle curled his beard and said, ¡°Perhaps we can allow other humans to deal with them as their deeds had caused much condemnation.¡±

    ...

    A few dayster, Zhao Yao sat in front of the main entrance of the Beginner¡¯s Vige so that he was conspicuous to the yers passing by.

    He smiled happily at the BOOK¡¯s progress bar that increased sporadically.

    His supercats had been killing newbies outside the Beginner¡¯s Vige in order to make him notorious. He sat at the entrance, gazing at his perverted alias so as to attract attention. His deeds caused many yers to condemn him.

    ording to Arthas¡¯ theory, more and more yers were sending their dissipated mental energy to Zhao Yao unknowingly.

    Zhao Yao knew that his BOOK was umting their mental energy which was used for Diana¡¯s evolution.

    In a few short days, Diana¡¯s progress bar had reached more than 50%. It would not take a few days for her to evolve.

    Recently, other high level yers counterattacked Matcha and the supercats. Besides Rice Cake and Gaia, the supercats¡¯ level and pets were inferior and were often ughtered.

    ¡°We have done enough damage in the Beginner¡¯s Vige. It¡¯s time for us to move to another location,¡± Zhao Yao thought. ¡°I¡¯m a rich game yer.¡±

    As Zhao Yao was racking his brain to gain more mental energy, the sky lit up and a row of words appeared.

    An anonymous yer typed, ¡°Try this World Horn and see if it¡¯s good.¡±

    The yers nearby started discussing the strange words.

    Zhao Yao gazed intensely at the words as his eyes glimmered. ¡°A World Horn? There¡¯s such an item in this virtual game?

    He immediately had this idea. If he had this item and he posted sarcasticments using his alias, how much mental energy would he umte? Was he going to level up without doing anything?

    Zhao Yao turned to Elizabeth and asked, ¡°Elizabeth, where¡¯s themerce city of this game? Why can¡¯t I find a ce to charge my ount? What kind of items are there inside?¡±

    ¡°Commerce City?¡± Elizabeth said. ¡°Not everyone can ess the Commerce City. One has to get through a dungeon and the prize is ess to Commerce City. I don¡¯t know what items are avable inside.¡±

    Zhao Yao was speechless for a moment. Then he said, ¡°This virtual game... the prize for getting through the dungeon is the Commerce City. Who wants to do such things?¡±

    Elizabeth looked at him and smiled. ¡°Zhao Yao, aren¡¯t you thinking of doing that?¡±

    Zhao was embarrassed by the gaze of the fair-skinned and sweet smiling girl but he recalled she was just a cat. He recovered himself and twisted her head away in annoyance. ¡°Don¡¯t look at me with that face.¡±

    Elizabeth pouted her lips and asked, ¡°Why?¡±

    ¡°Because you created such a pretty face that I¡¯m feeling uneasy. Can¡¯t you choose a simple face like Matcha¡¯s?¡± Zhao Yao said. ¡°Your currentvish equipment, did you buy it from the Commerce City?¡±

    ¡°Nope,¡± Elizabeth said. ¡°My costume was given to me by friends. To get through the Commerce City¡¯s dungeon is extremely difficult. Very few people have managed to do that.¡±

    ¡°Ah? It¡¯s that difficult?¡± Zhao Yao frowned.

    Shadow Wings charged, pointed at Zhao Yao and eximed, ¡°Pervert! What are you thinking of doing to Sweetie?¡±

    Zhao Yao turned his head and said, ¡°It¡¯s you again.¡±

    Elizabeth, whose head was being pressed down on by Zhao Yao, turned her head and smiled at Shadow Wings. ¡°It¡¯s alright, Shadow Wings. We¡¯re just fooling around.¡±

    Shadow Wings shouted, ¡°Elizabeth, do you feel threatened by him? Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll protect you!¡±

    Elizabeth shook her head and said, ¡°No, we knew each other very well in reality and he often touches my head as well.¡±

    Shadow Wings almost broke down as he looked at Elizabeth. ¡°They know each other well and he touches her head often!¡± Shadow Wings said in shock. ¡°Perhaps... is he your boyfriend?!¡±

    ¡°How could he be my boyfriend?¡± Elizabeth giggled and her body trembled. After suppressing her smile, she said, ¡°He¡¯s actually my boss. He gives me food, lodging, and a sry.¡±

    ¡°Boss... boss?¡± Shadow Wings looked dumbfounded at both of them and thought, ¡°Food, lodging, sry, and he touches her head often... Are Sweetie and this man having that kind of rtionship?!¡±

    ¡°My angel!¡±

    Elizabeth asked in astonishment, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with him?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t bother,¡± Zhao Yao said. ¡°Where¡¯s the Commerce City¡¯s dungeon? I want to see what¡¯s avable in the Commerce City.¡±

    Zhao Yao found out the location of the dungeon via Elizabeth¡¯s connections.

    ...

    Zhao Yao squatted at the entrance of the Beginner¡¯s Vige as he discussed with Elizabeth about the dungeon.

    Four men were at a nearby corner, extending out their heads to peep at Zhao Yao and Elizabeth.

    One of them said, ¡°What¡¯re we going to do? We¡¯ve dyed this for a long time. If we don¡¯t meet up with Zhao Yao, he¡¯s going to be suspicious.¡±

    ¡°Big brother, let¡¯s exit this game. I don¡¯t like it.¡±

    ¡°How can we do that? Zhao Yao¡¯s not an idiot. How can we quit like this?¡±

    ¡°What shall we do? Let¡¯s find a helmet so that Zhao Yao can¡¯t see our faces.¡±

    ¡°The best that we could obtain was a grass hat. Where¡¯s the helmet that you talked about?¡±

    Ares licked his hands as he said, ¡°This is frustrating! What are we going to do?¡±

    Lucifer said, ¡°Let¡¯s be honest with Zhao Yao. At most, he¡¯ll beat us up. Let¡¯s just bear it and it¡¯ll be over...¡±

    Seeing Lucifer grinning ear to ear, Ares said angrily, ¡°It¡¯s all your fault! Look at our pathetic state. How are we going to face Zhao Yao!¡±

    Ares, Lucifer, F¨±jin, and Rakshasa¡¯s game avatars were exactly the same.

    The male avatars that they created looked 70-80% like the real Zhao Yao. Their names were called Guang Yuzhui One, Guang Yuzhui Two, Guang Yuzhui Three and Guang Yuzhui Four.

    Lucifer said indignantly, ¡°All of you agreed it was a good idea and now you¡¯re ming me?¡±

    Ares sighed and said, ¡°What are we going to do?¡±

    ...

    Two hourster, Zhao Yao brought dozens of his supercats to an abandoned temple.

    Elizabeth exined, ¡°This is the Scripture Library¡¯s dungeon. The Commerce City is at the deepest end of the dungeon. If we can get through it, then we can purchase items.¡±

    ¡°What is the Commerce City selling? I¡¯m intrigued.¡± Zhao Yao felt excited.

    Elizabeth said, ¡°I heard that the dungeon is very hard to conquer but it¡¯s best for a lone ranger to go in.¡±

    ¡°Is that so?¡± Zhao Yao walked forward and said, ¡°Let me try. All of you wait for me outside.¡±

    When Zhao Yao stepped into the temple, the clear blue sky became dark and cloudy. A thunderstorm seemed imminent.

    A row ofrge words appeared before him.

    ¡°You are entering the Scripture Library¡¯s dungeon. You may obtain powerful items within but it¡¯s extremely dangerous. Are you sure you want to enter?¡±

    Zhao Yao confirmed his choice and another row of words appeared.

    ¡°As the items inside are extremely powerful, if the items are misused, they may cause serious harm to the user.¡±

    ¡°To filter out yers who are unable to use the items wisely, all damages sustained in the Scripture Library¡¯s dungeon can be healed by money.¡±

    A talisman appeared before Zhao Yao. The writing on it said that the talisman was to be worn to start the money healing module.¡±

    ¡°The most powerful equipment is ount charging equipment and the yers that are the most appropriate for the powerful items are the rich...¡±

    ¡°The game designer... is he extremely poor?¡±

    Gazing at the ount charging talisman, Zhao Yao could not decide whether to wear it or not.

    He went into deep thoughts while staring at the talisman.

    ¡°This game... I suppose there¡¯s no bloodshed and no real harm.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought about the game design. He did not participate in the fighting but he observed Matcha and the supercats fighting. There was no indication of bloodshed or harm done. He had to base his guess on the Closer pet¡¯s skill and the visual effects.

    ¡°Using money to heal damages... Damages are like a ck hole... No one apart from the gamespany can determine the extent...¡±

    ¡°Can¡¯t the gamespany deduct any amount they like?¡±

    Zhao Yao decided not to use the ount charging talisman.

    ¡°Let me go in and check first. At worst, I¡¯ll be defeated in the dungeon. Otherwise, I¡¯ll lose a lot of money.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought for a while before continuing forward. He went through the main door and arrived in a garden.

    As he was about to step outside, the sky started raining.

    ¡°Raining?¡± Zhao Yao stepped out into the rain and vanished after shing rays of light. He had died in the game.

    Zhao Yao was dumbfounded when he appeared at the revival point of the Beginner¡¯s Vige. He had no idea how he died.

    He contacted the supercats via Wechat and let them enter the Scripture Library one by one. He also told them not to use the talisman. He ran hastily back to the dungeon location.

    The WeChat group was filled with messages of the supercats dying in the dungeon.

    Elizabeth said, ¡°The rain¡¯s poisonous! I perished when I was exposed to it.¡±

    Gaia said, ¡°The rain¡¯s damage is very high! Elizabeth onlysted three seconds before dying.¡±

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Do you have any way to shield yourselves from the rain?¡±

    Gaia said, ¡°I was shielded from the rain... but I died.¡±

    Rice Cake said, ¡°There¡¯s poison in the air and I was poisoned to death.¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°Hahaha, I used Lightning to shield myself as I held my breath and charged across. Finally, it¡¯s my turn...¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°S*it, I rushed into a house and it exploded...¡±

    After receiving the supercats¡¯ Wechat messages, Zhao Yao had a clearer idea of the dungeon.

    Basically, the supercats all died the further they ventured into the dungeon.

    There were no monsters to fight. Instead, countless traps caught the yers unawares and they could only dodge or brace themselves for the damage.

    When Zhao Yao met the revived Matcha in the dungeon, his progress into the dungeon had already stagnated.

    ¡°We can¡¯t breathe as the air is poisoned. We can¡¯t be exposed to the poisoned rain either. We can¡¯t step on the ground as it has electrical traps. We can¡¯t destroy the houses as the dungeon will explode...¡± Gaia exined the difficulties and said in a daze, ¡°This is too difficult! This dungeon is too difficult! The designer has no intention for us to pass through!¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned as he knew it was the game designer forcing them to use the ount charging talisman.

    ¡°It¡¯s telling me I can¡¯t pass without charging my ount and I can¡¯t enter the Commerce City without money.¡±

    ¡°Hehe,¡± Zhao Yao sneered and said, ¡°I¡¯ll deposit money and meet up with youter.¡±

    Zhao Yao was decisive. If he could spend money and get through the dungeon, he would do it. He was a rich yer and he was going to charge his ount with money.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to use the items in the Commerce City to increase my profile and umte the energy for evolution,¡± Zhao Yao thought. ¡°Humph, when Diana¡¯s evolution level is high enough to defeat the alien cats, I¡¯ll win back all the money that I have lost.¡±

    Zhao Yao stepped into the dungeon and tore his talisman.

    Countless bright lights formed a screen with rows of words that became an agreement.

    Zhao Yao read through the agreement, which was to use his money to heal his damage. If he did not have enough money, he would not be able to leave the dungeon. Even if he died, he would be revived in the dungeon.

    He could also draw up his bill anytime and give up conquering the dungeon.

    Zhao Yao looked at the panel which asked repeatedly for confirmation of the payment.

    ¡°This virtual game... Is it for people to y?¡± Zhao Yao agreed and the agreement broke into many pieces and became a panel above his head. It showed zero.

    ¡°This! Could it be...¡± Zhao Yao squinted his eyes and strode towards the deep end of the dungeon.

    Poisoned rain fell but Zhao Yao was unharmed. He looked at the number above his head and it was increasing by the hundreds. Even the air smelled of money.

    Seeing the numbers increasing rapidly, Zhao Yao got a fright and bolted. Under the protection of his money, he was unharmed and he went through numerous doors. Finally, he arrived at the deepest end of the dungeon and a shiny golden door appeared before him.

    Zhao Yao noticed that the number above his head had reached more than 5000.

    ¡°D*mn, it¡¯s more than 5000 already?¡±

    He touched the number above his forehead and said angrily, ¡°5000... gone like that?¡±

    Zhao Yao opened the huge door reluctantly and blinding golden light came out, causing him to squint his eyes. He saw a golden hall and as he was about to enter, a hand grabbed his calf.

    Zhao Yao was stunned as he looked at the man grabbing his calf. He said, ¡°Don¡¯t go in. Don¡¯t go in!¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the name above his head and it said, ¡°My family owns a gold mine.¡± He was a rich game yer.

    Zhao Yao was shocked and he thought about the agreement he had agreed to. Zhao Yao looked at him and said, ¡°Hey? Are you a yer? Are you trapped here because you can¡¯t pay?¡±

    He nodded his head wildly and said, ¡°Never ever go inside. The dungeon is not meant to be conquered! Once the damage is more than what I can pay, I have to stay here forever.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked speechless at him. This game was ruthlessly trapping yers who could not pay up.

    He continued and said, ¡°There are more dangerous and powerful traps inside. Even millionaires were made bankrupt by the traps.

    This is just the beginning. Besides the traps, there are many rare and powerful creatures that will surround and attack you. Even a billionaire will lose his entire fortune and be trapped in the Scripture Library with no hope of seeing daylight.¡±

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Why are you so excited about the ount charging in the game?¡±

    The rich game yer continued to exin, ¡°Besides the powerful creatures, there are three invincible characters in the deepest end of the Scripture Library. yers have a one in a million chance at being able to defeat the three of them...¡±

    Zhao Yao counted the numbers above the guy¡¯s head and became very serious as he scolded in his thoughts, ¡°Five million? To enter the Commerce City requires more than five million? Is the designer crazy? No wonder this rich guy¡¯s unable to get through. Who would be foolish enough to pay this sum of money?¡±

    Zhao Yao gazed at the numbers above his head and asked, ¡°How did you umte a debt of five million? Is the damage that horrifying?¡±

    The rich game yer looked lost in space as he said, ¡°I was confident like you but after meeting the three invincible characters, I was killed immediately by a single blow. Now, I have to stay in this dark ce forever.¡±

    Zhao Yao did not react to his words and pushed off the rich guy as he proceeded to the deepest end of the golden hall.

    Although the dungeon was a blood sucker, Zhao Yao¡¯s goal was Diana¡¯s evolution. Moreover, he was going to retrieve all his money so he decided to press on.

    The rich game yer grabbed Zhao Yao¡¯s calf and said, ¡°My brother was also confident like you butter he died with pride.¡±

    ¡°Pride?¡±

    ¡°He was dealt two blows by the final BOSS, one more blow than I.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and pressed ahead. The rich game yer looked astonished at Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you see the numbers above our heads? Are you still bent on going in?¡±

    Zhao Yao flung his hands down and walked towards the deep end without looking back. ¡°Don¡¯t follow me. You are bothersome.¡±

    The rich game yer continued to hold onto Zhao Yao¡¯s calf and said, ¡°Don¡¯t go in! You¡¯ll go bankrupt!¡±

    At the entrance of the Golden hall, Zhao Yao met more than ten trapped yers. The numbers above their heads ranged from millions to tens of millions.

    ¡°Whoa, another newbie.¡±

    ¡°Looks ordinary. Doesn¡¯t seem like a powerful character.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯ll be trapped here with us.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked annoyed at them and asked, ¡°Since you¡¯re trapped here, why are you still staying online?¡±

    The rich game yer said, ¡°Though it¡¯s bad here, it can rece our sleep and we gain an additional eight hours per day. We can use the chat tools to socialize. The guys here like to boast to each other so Ie here every night.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head as he ventured into the deep end. A guy with one million above his head said, ¡°Newbie, I¡¯m advising you to exit when it¡¯s only a few thousand dors. Once you are killed inside and you are in millions of debt, there¡¯s no turning back.¡±

    Zhao Yao turned his head and said grimly, ¡°I¡¯ve no fear as I¡¯m beyond rich.¡±

    ¡°That powerful?¡± Seeing Zhao Yao¡¯s receding figure, everyone was piqued and they followed behind him. As they were not willing to pay their bills and were using the game to rece their sleep, they followed Zhao Yao fearlessly.

    ¡°The first hidden arrows trap!¡±

    ¡°Beware! Dodge!¡±

    The sky was raining arrows and Zhao Yao tried to dodge. He was depressed by the increasing number above his head.

    ¡°He¡¯s aplete newbie and didn¡¯t dodge any arrows.¡±

    ¡°His level¡¯s so low and he dared to challenge the dungeon. He¡¯s finished.¡±

    ¡°He was arrogant just now but he¡¯s not that powerful.¡±

    ¡°Next is the incinerator¡¯s trap!¡±

    ¡°Be careful! You¡¯ll burn if you¡¯re hit! Each second you burn will cost you ten thousand dors!¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the fearsome mes and the increasing numbers and rolled on the ground in panic. ¡°Stop watching me burn! How do you extinguish the fire?¡±

    The rich game yer said, ¡°It¡¯s alright, the fire will burn out by itself.¡±

    The number had breached half a million and red veins appeared in Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes. He patted his chest to calm himself.

    ¡°Look, the Closer creatures¡¯ here!¡±

    ¡°A bite costs a thousand dors! The previous demolition expert yersted for ten minutes!¡±

    Zhao Yao started to run when he saw the approaching creatures. As his level was low and his category was a tank type creature, his speed was slower than his attackers. He was bitten and the damage cost more than two hundred thousand dors. He felt heart pain as he entered the next segment.

    The crowd followed Zhao Yao as he took damages all the way until he arrived at the treasure vault. The number above his head had reached eight million and they guessed that Zhao Yao was giving up.

    Paying eight million to gain ess to the Commerce City was too extravagant and wasteful.

    Before the final segment, three characters floated before him.

    A book appeared before Zhao Yao and on it was written, ¡°... Divinity Gambit?¡±

    A panel appeared before him and it said,

    ¡°Since you have reached this stage, you¡¯ve proven yourself. You will be given a Closer pet¡¯s skill manual. Please use it to get through the final segment.¡±

    Zhao Yao read the manual and looked at his ck Closer turtle. He pped the manual on his Closer pet which learned the Divine Gambit skill: Expend money to attack with a powerful blow. Each use costs ten thousand renminbi.

    ¡°You¡¯re indeed ruthless.¡±

    After Zhao Yao learned his skill, a middle-aged man who was standing in the middle of the three final bosses said, ¡°If money can solve the problem, it¡¯s not a problem.¡±

    A white-haired elder on the right side said, ¡°We can bribe the problem originator for problems that can¡¯t be solved.¡±

    The youth on the left said, ¡°It does not matter how much money you have as I hate money.¡±

    ¡°Has it begun?¡± Zhao Yao looked stunned as they floated closer.

    The middle-aged man pointed with his finger as he said, ¡°One billion for a small target.¡±

    The sound of coins dropping down rang in the air and it seemed like it was the only sound in the universe. The air was filled with the fragrance of money. The shadow of arge coin appeared behind Zhao Yao and it fell and crushed down on him.

    ¡°One billion?¡± Zhao Yao was shocked and saw light rays shooting out from the man¡¯s finger. He tried to dodge but his level one agility was too slow as he was crushed by the coin shadow.

    Zhao Yao became grave as he was seriously wounded. He covered his chest as he felt pain in his heart.

    He lifted his head and saw the number above his head be more than a million. He was relieved. If it was a billion for a hit, he would be finished.

    ¡°I¡¯ve grown more resilient as I find a million to be a small amount...¡±

    After his opponent took more than one million from him in one blow, on top of all the damage he umted on his way there, the figure above Zhao Yao¡¯s head had already jumped to a huge sum of more than nine million.

    Looking at the figure on top of his head, even Zhao Yao himself felt the pinch.

    It was more than nine million dors! He could buy a house or two with that. That amount could buy hundreds of Ragdoll cats but it would just be wasted on this dumbass game now.

    At the thought of this, Zhao Yao became furious. He stared at Boss in front of him and attacked him with the Divine Gambit skill.

    A golden ray of light shed across from his hand as the figure above Zhao Yao¡¯s head increased by another 10 000 dors.

    However, just as the golden ray of light shed at the middle-aged man¡¯s chest, the elder at the side patted it away with a wave of his hand and Zhao Yao¡¯s Divine Gambit was suppressed by an invisible force. The sound of countless notes pping in the air rang out as the virtual image of countless hundred-dor notes floated in front of the Boss. As the golden light dissipated, the virtual cash disappeared as well.

    The elder smiled as after blocking the blow. ¡°What a good skill, the Divine Gambit. The power of your money was multiplied 10 to 100 times. You have the ability to multiply 10 000 dors to be one million...¡±

    After waiting for five seconds, the sound of cash notes pping around the elder was heard. The virtual cash notes that had just disappeared appeared in midair again. The elder nodded in approval as he said, ¡°Even I would need five seconds to recover from my losses from just now.¡±

    ¡°What money?¡± The young boss stepped forward and shouted, ¡°The thing that I hate the most is money. I didn¡¯t get any pay at all in my whole life. You¡¯re short of cash? I can lend you some!¡±

    As he said that, the young boss dealt a blow as he uttered, ¡°I¡¯m lending you some money to spend.¡±

    As he said that, a string of 1010 numbers jumped out of thin air and charged towards Zhao Yao.

    Just as Zhao Yao wanted to dodge them, a sudden tragic realization dawned on him. Given his current level, it was impossible for him to dodge these things. He could only watch as countless numbers streamed into his body.

    This time, however, the figure on Zhao Yao¡¯s head did not increase. Rather, it decreased by two million, dropping from more than nine million to more than seven million.

    ¡°Why did it decrease?¡± Just as Zhao Yao thought this he realized that the figure above his head was actually starting to increase by the hundreds with every second that passed.

    My Family Has a Gold Mine said from afar, ¡°This move to lend you money will diminish a portion of your debt instantly but you have to pay the interest on top of your principal amount from the next second onwards. The total amount will far exceed what you owed previously!¡±

    ¡°What the f*ck.¡± Zhao Yao was stunned. He quickly dealt another blow of the Divine Gambit towards the youngster but the elder managed to repel his attacks. Next, the three Bosses spun around Zhao Yao like a gyro, taking turns to rain all sorts of blows down on him.

    ¡°Small targets of 100 million!¡±

    ¡°Lose all you have!¡±

    ¡°Average family!¡±

    ¡°Quit school to start a business!¡±

    ¡°The biggest mistake in life!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s lend you some money.¡±

    Of the three young, middle-aged and old bosses, one attacked, one defended, while the other projected all sorts of negative scenarios on Zhao Yao as he beat him up. Zhao Yao felt like he was on the verge of death as the numbers above his head increased incessantly. In an instant, the figure above his head had exceeded 20 million.

    ¡°Oh no,¡± My Family Has a Gold Mine shook his head as he said. ¡°He lost. He really can¡¯t defeat them. These three big Bosses are too powerful.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s more than 20 million dors. Who would spend so much money to open a mall?¡±

    ¡°Enough. Zou x, just give up. At the rate your debt is increasing. Even if you defeat these three Bosses, you will not survive with that mountain of debt.¡±

    However, Zhao Yao suddenly crawled up from the floor and remained in his spot motionlessly as he let the Bosses attack him mercilessly. His brain began to work rapidly as he thought, ¡°No, this is definitely not how these Bosses fight.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought of the equipment Elizabeth got from the mall and the information was broadcasted in the sky.

    ¡°There must have been someone who passed through this dungeon before and activated the mall. The probability of spending millions to do this is too low.¡± Zhao Yao rubbed his chin and thought, ¡°Am I using a wrong method to attack the Bosses?¡±

    Zhao Yao turned to My Family Has a Gold Mine and the other yers and asked them, ¡°Hey, you guys have stayed in here for so long, have you guys seen anyone who passed the Bosses to activate the mall?¡±

    Everyone shook their heads.

    Zhao Yao understood the situation now. ¡°None of them saw the person who passed the Bosses? This means that the people before them all passed? None of them remained?¡±

    ¡°Does this dungeon allow everyone to pass? If so, this means that...¡±

    As Zhao Yao stood on the spot and withstood all the attacks from the three Bosses, the figure on his head had already jumped to more than 30 million, making everyone at the scene gasp in astonishment.

    Zhao Yao became even more certain of his guesses when he saw this.

    Zhao Yao turned and stared at My Family Has a Gold Mine and the rest and said, ¡°Hey! You guys! Quicke and help me! I figured out how to defeat this Boss!¡±

    My Family Has a Gold Mine and the other yers exchanged nces. Nobody dared to believe his words as they watched the figure above his head continue to increase rapidly.

    There was no response even after Zhao Yao shouted for a few times. He had no choice but to use Wechat to contact Matcha and get the money-charging talisman. At the same time, he fled from the Bosses with an enormous debt of 30 million and chose to retreat from the battle, standing at the edge of the border while waiting for Matcha and the rest to arrive.

    Not long after, a bald, muscr man walked in. It was Matcha. As he walked in, he was shaking uncontrobly while staring at the figure of more than 200 000 dors above his head.

    ¡°I actually spent more than 200 000?¡± All Matcha could think about was the figure above his head. ¡°Where will I get 200k to pay for this? Does this mean I have to owe Zhao Yao 200k?¡± He suddenly felt that his remaining cat life was eclipsed in darkness.

    Lightning walked in proudly with his chest puffed up as he thought, ¡°Although I don¡¯t know how I¡¯m going to pay off this sum, it feels like the greater the amount above my head is the cooler it makes me look.¡±

    Zhao Yao quickly waved at the two of them toe over when he saw them. ¡°Quick,e here. I know how to pass this dungeon.¡±

    At the same time, a cute, teenage Lolita and a beautifuldy with angelic wings walked in curiously as well. It was Roly Poly and Elizabeth.

    Next, a tall, athletic and dark-skinned youngdy who looked like a basketball or volleyball yer walked in. This tall, dark-skinned and athleticdy was actually the petite ck cat, Dust Ball.

    ¡°Dust Ball, you¡¯re here too? Good, good. Everyone gather here, let¡¯s fight the Bosses together.¡±

    Zhao Yao called over the more than 10 supercats that had charged in and began to exin his n fervently.

    Next, he pointed to the three copies of the Boss and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    The next moment, the characters controlled by over 10 supercats charged forward like a swarm of bees, attacking the middle-aged Boss aggressively with the Divine Gambit skill that they had just learned.

    The elder Boss used the money shield to deflect the attacks but as the saying goes: many straws bind an elephant. Very quickly, his money regeneration rate could not match that at which his money depleted. His defense was broken.

    As the elder Boss and the middle-aged Boss were killed one by one, the figures above the supercats at the scene also jumped to the millions as a result of the intense money-charging involved.

    ¡°Enough! Everyone stop! Don¡¯t kill thest remaining Boss! All stop your attacks now!¡±

    Matcha stared at the millions of his debt and widened his eyes, as if he was about to burst into tears.

    ¡°I, Matcha, can be considered a decent cat since the day I was born. I have never owed so much money before in my whole life... This feels horrible.¡±

    Although Matcha looked like he idled his days away most of the time and even owed Fish Ball 50 dors, he was actually the kind of cat who would not be able to sleep well at night if he owed too much money.

    Beside him, Lightning was brimming with spirit as he felt that it was a feat in itself to be able to owe this much money.

    Dust Ball, whose character was a dark-skinned young female athlete, squatted at the side. As a cat, she was more used to squatting down, even though now she was controlling a person.

    While she was squatting, she remarked in worry, ¡°What if Zhao Yao is wrong? Won¡¯t that mean that we¡¯ll be trapped in this dungeon every night? I have a meeting with other leaders in Closers World.¡±

    Diana chuckled and licked the head of the young female athlete as she said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Dust Ball, Zhao Yao is very serious when ites to issues concerning money and debt.¡±

    Just as the cats stopped as Zhao Yao had instructed them, thest remaining young Boss continued to deal blows towards the supercats.

    ¡°Regret starting a business.¡±

    All the supercats¡¯ were suspended from using the Divine Gambit skill from that moment onwards.

    ¡°No pay for you.¡±

    A ripple of money emanated from the Boss and spread out in all directions. In that instant, everyone entered a state where their debt would increase if they moved.

    ¡°Let¡¯s lend you some money.¡±

    Seeing countless 10 digits appearing in midair and flying towards the supercats, Zhao Yao immediately screamed, ¡°Charge!!! Everyone roll into this wave of money!¡±

    As he said that, he took the lead in charging forward. After being baptised by this wave of money, the figures above Zhao Yao¡¯s head and the rest of the supercats decreased by one or two million.

    ¡°Just like this...¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°As long as he continues to unleash this lending money skill, you guys will follow me and charge in to have a bath. This will slowly diminish the debt above our heads.¡±

    Matcha asked hesitantly, ¡°If we do that, even though the figure above our heads would be smaller, every second after the debt would increase again. After a long time, won¡¯t our debt increase even more?¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed mirthlessly. ¡°A dead person won¡¯t need to pay off his debt.¡±

    Matcha asked hesitantly again, ¡°... Will this work?¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and said, ¡°Of course.¡±

    Next, the supercats willingly let Boss attack them with the money-lending blows. Very quickly, they managed to reduce their debts to a few thousand dors. However, the rate of increase in their debts had reached a state where the figures would jump by a few thousand dors per second. Basically, after every two or three seconds, 10 000 dors would be added to their debt.

    Zhao Yao, being the biggest victim out of all of them, had umted a rate of 20 000-dor increase per second for his debt.

    ¡°Kill him!¡±

    The supercats started dealing their blows altogether at once. After a few minutes, thest Boss was killed.

    Zhao Yao immediately turned to stare at the figures on top of everyone else. It had indeed ceased to increase. Zhao Yao finally heaved a sigh of relief. However, even so, the debts of 10k or 20k, up to 30k or even 40k for each supercat, when added together, amounted to more than one million in total. However, this was a price that was still eptable for Zhao Yao.

    My Family Has a Gold Mine was dumbstruck by the sight. ¡°This works? So simple? None of us actually thought of that?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a miscalction, a miscalction indeed,¡± another yer said. ¡°Not paying off the debt and using other people¡¯s money to start a business. Why did we not think of such a simple logic like this?¡±

    The virtual image of a cat slowly appeared before Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes as the three Bosses were defeated, encapsting the whole hall. It was a blurred image of Giggle.

    This virtual cat image said, ¡°Heroes, to be able to defeat the stronghold I left here would mean that you guys have understood the true meaning of wealth, that is to use other people¡¯s money to earn one¡¯s own...¡±

    Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°This guy¡¯s understanding of making money... is actually the same as mine? He doesn¡¯t look like a bad cat either.¡± He stared at the virtual image of the cat, wondering if the cat was one of the alien cats who created Closers World as he tried to remember the image of this cat clearly in his mind.

    The virtual image of the cat continued to speak in a business-like manner, ¡°Okay, enough small talk. I hid the world¡¯s strongest power here. Go ahead and buy it if you wish.¡±

    The next moment, the virtual image of the cat disappeared and the huge golden yellow door behind him opened. Zhao Yao immediately led the supercats past the door.

    However, at the same time when they went in, it was time to calcte the fees due for the dungeon. Everyone had to pay off the debts on top of their heads to be able to clear the dungeon and enter the mall.

    Zhao Yao sighed as he helped each supercat pay off their debts, eventually walking into the mall himself, but with a ck face.

    Matcha tiptoed over to Zhao Yao carefully as he looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, you spent so much money this time. Are you alright?¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes at him and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I don¡¯t need you guys to pay me back.¡±

    ¡°Eh? Hahahaha, what are you saying? I didn¡¯te over to ask you this. Hahaha, you underestimate me, hahahaha. A few thousand dors is nothing to me.¡± Matcha could not help chuckling again as he said that.

    Looking at Matcha who was smiling non-stop, Zhao Yao said, ¡°I need you to make some preparations. I will be throwing a birthday party in a few days. I need you to help me inform all the Cat Kings in Jianghai.¡±

    ¡°Birthday?¡± Matcha gaped in surprise and asked in confusion, ¡°But it isn¡¯t your birthday...¡±

    Zhao Yao red at Matcha and said, ¡°Can¡¯t I celebrate my 26th birthday in advance?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°Tsch. I can¡¯t recover from my losses from the alien cats at the moment. I shall harvest some money from the cats in Jianghai for now.¡±

    As he said that, everyone¡¯s debts from the dungeon had been cleared. Zhao Yao and the rest entered the space behind the huge golden yellow door and saw rows of dazzling shops before them, with all sorts of differently priced items.

    Zhao Yao was not interested in anything else but the World Horn and began searching for that item.

    ¡°It costs 500 dors per use?¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned. He thought of how he would have to use this thing to increase his progress in the evolution bar and decided to buy a hundred of those.

    Afterwards, Zhao Yao bought another golden key that was worth 10 000 dors. It allowed him to enter the mall anytime he wished to.

    At that moment, Rice Cake appeared beside Zhao Yao. The armor she originally wore was gone. She now wore a small white dress, revealing the appearance of the human character she created. It was the look of a white-haired small Lolita.

    The moment Rice Cake ran over to Zhao Yao, she just kept on bumping Zhao Yao with her head as she said, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao! The properties of this apparel is so strong! Can you buy it for me please?¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at the price tag and nodded as he said, ¡°It¡¯s not worth it to buy in here. I will buy one for you in real life.¡±

    Rice Cake immediately pouted and red at Zhao Yao angrily as she said, ¡°Zhao Yao, I just want this apparel.¡± As she said that, she kept pawing at Zhao Yao¡¯s chest. ¡°Please, Zhao Yao? If you buy this apparel for me, I will let you hug and cuddle me as you wish in real life, okay?¡±

    Zhao Yao stared at the price tag on the apparel. It cost 15k. However, thinking of how he was going to get back all this money from the alien cats, he waved it off and said, ¡°Okay, okay, stop pressing on my chest. My blood is about to burst already. I¡¯ll buy it.¡±

    ¡°Yay!¡± Rice Cake jumped with joy. ¡°Zhao Yao you¡¯re the best!¡±

    Gaia stared longingly as he said from the side, ¡°Zhao Yao...¡±

    ¡°Get lost.¡±

    At the Gobi Desert in Closers World, a girl who was 9 heads tall with 36D cup boobs and extremely long legs raised her arms. She chanted in a low voice as mes flickered to life in her palms, which turned into a rocket that shot towards the big yellow dog nearby.

    After being attacked by the fireball, the big yellow dog roared in rage and charged towards the girl. Not far away from him, three other big yellow dogs appeared and charged towards the girl as well.

    A handsome young man with a jade-likeplexion, d in white with golden rays emanating from his body appeared and stood before the charging dogs. Anothernky young man shed in midair around them, stabbing the monster dogs with the dagger in his hand.

    Behind them, a fat little boy ran towards them as he screamed, ¡°Xiao Yu! Wait for me, don¡¯t run so fast! I¡¯m running out of HP!¡±

    The girl who used the fireball skill turned and frowned as she saw the fat little boy running towards them. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you before, Fish Ball?! Call me LinMiReba! Don¡¯t call me by my real name! Nobody uses their real name online!¡±

    Fish Ball pointed at the user ID above his head and said, ¡°Okay, LinMiReba, then you should call me by my online name too. I¡¯m LionTigerBeast!¡±

    Xiao Yu rolled her eyes as she thought to herself, ¡°What a trashy name.¡± She stared at the fat and round character Fish Ball was controlling and said, ¡°I¡¯ve been tolerating this look of yours for really long. Why did you make your character look so in, fat and round? It¡¯s ruining the image of our team.¡±

    Fish Ball replied, ¡°I¡¯m not a human. I came to Closers World to know more cats. This look and size is the most popr amongst cats!¡±

    ¡°Okay, enough,¡± Xiao Yu said with exasperation. ¡°Quick, help me kill this big yellow dog. Once we are done with our mission we can go on to kill huskies.¡±

    The boy with the jade-likeplexion beside her asked in a small voice, ¡°Can we not kill huskies?¡±

    Xiao Yu replied, ¡°Even if we don¡¯t kill huskies, there are still Samoyeds and skan dogs to kill. Dogs are the mostmon monsters in this game, how are we going to level up if we don¡¯t kill them?¡±

    At that moment, the sky darkened. Xiao Yu and her friends looked up and saw a line of words appear in the sky.

    ¡°Someone¡¯s using the World Horn again?¡± Xiao Yu wondered aloud.

    The line in the sky read:

    Zou x GuangYuzhui: Hold up, everyone, listen to me!

    Zou x GuangYuzhui: A World Horn only costs 500 dors, how cheap.

    Fish Ball said, ¡°Who is this guy? What an a*sshole!¡±

    Xiao Yu was puzzled. ¡°Zou x GuangYuzhui?¡±

    The sky darkened again. Zou x GuangYuzhui: No one¡¯s using the World Horn? Come on, we can chat together.

    Zou x GuangYuzhui: Oh... I almost forgot. You guys don¡¯t have the World Horn.

    Zou x GuangYuzhui: I¡¯m really quite envious of you guys.

    Zou x GuangYuzhui: You guys don¡¯t have to worry about how to spend your money everyday, unlike a billionaire like me.

    Xiao Yu was speechless. ¡°Zou x GuangYuzhui... This guy is Zhao Yao right? What exactly is he doing?¡±

    ¡°Eh?¡± Fish Ball was shocked. ¡°It¡¯s Zhao Yao?¡±

    ...

    Tom, the British Shorthair, was not amused by the sentences that kept appearing in the sky. ¡°Will the remainder of my gaming experience... be cast under the shadow of this guy?¡±

    He went offline and walked up to Giggle, the American Shorthair, and startedining, ¡°Giggle! Quick, go and take a look at the game! It¡¯s that Zou x GuangYuzhui again! He¡¯s spamming the sky in the game with the World Horn! I can¡¯t even focus on ying now!¡±

    ¡°Oh? Spamming the game with World Horns?¡± The American Shorthair, Giggle, nodded as he said, ¡°This is a very normal function of the game. The game was designed with a mall in the first ce with an item like the World Horn. He¡¯s just using a function in the game. That¡¯s very reasonable. I don¡¯t see anything wrong with that.¡±

    ¡°How is that reasonable!¡± Tom shouted, ¡°He¡¯s spamming it! It¡¯s affecting everyone else who¡¯s ying the game!!¡±

    Giggle replied, ¡°I have already asked people to spread the news of his despicable acts on discussion forums and social media tforms. Isn¡¯t there always someone trying to pick on him in the game now? From what I know, he and his friends will be attacked or killed everyday by other yers in the game. Their game experience must be terrible.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s not enough!¡± Tom meowed as he whined again.¡±If you continue letting such a despicable guy do as he wishes, who knows what he¡¯ll do next! We must eliminate him in the real world as well!¡±

    Giggle was exasperated. ¡°You want to kill him in real life just like in the game? No, this will affect the reputation of Closers World if word gets out.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no need for so much trouble,¡± Tom said. ¡°We just need to locate him. Once we do, getting rid of him will be easy enough.¡±

    ¡°Okay, enough,¡± Giggle replied in annoyance from Tom¡¯s incessant pestering. ¡°I will send someone to take care of this issue. Meanwhile, you can just focus on ying the game. Do you understand?¡±

    Tom¡¯s eyes lit up immediately. ¡°I want to go too!¡± He had been so pissed off by that yer in the game recently. He felt as though he was about to burst a blood vessel. Now that he had a chance to find that yer in the real world, he would definitely seize it.

    Giggle said, ¡°You are staying at home to train and y the game! I will ask someone to capture that guy.¡±

    ¡°How will you capture the guy?¡± Tom immediately asked. ¡°Who are you going to send to do that! Isn¡¯t it safer if we do it ourselves?¡±

    Giggle replied calmly, ¡°That lowly inhabitant of this is not worthy of being handled directly. Don¡¯t you know how busy I am now?¡± As he said that, Giggle pressed on his phone and a female servant walked in.

    Giggle continued pressing on his phone as he said, ¡°Maria, get ready to bring some men out. Help us catch a person. I will ask people from Apple to send you the exact address.¡±

    Tom said, ¡°Hey, you¡¯re just going to send a female servant for this? Will it work?¡±

    Giggle replied confidently, ¡°Maria is considered an apostle on this, and under my personal mentorship, she has be strong enough to defeat any inhabitant on this.¡±

    The British Shorthair, Tom, remarked in astonishment, ¡°Giggle, you lent her your superpower?¡±

    Giggle replied, ¡°Yeah. Being able to borrow our superpowers must be the greatest advantage of the inhabitants of this right? But it¡¯s only the surface-level skills they can receive. Given the barrenness of their brains, they will never be able to understand the magnificence of the Awareness Dimension.¡±

    As the two cats were conversing, Maria was naturally unable to understand them. Tom was only seen returning to his game in satisfaction while Giggle typed a voice message to tell Maria: ¡°Go and choose the people you want. Bring three other apostles along with you.¡±

    Maria licked her lips and asked expectantly, ¡°Boss, what if we can¡¯t control our powers and go overboard?

    Giggle typed a reply on his phone. The voice message said, ¡°Up to you. Just make sure there are not too many casualties.¡±

    On the other side, on the field in the Beginner¡¯s Vige, Zhao Yaoy on thewn, spamming the World Horn with satisfaction. He looked at the progress of the evolution bar in the Book and smiled sweetly to himself.

 Chapter 923: Principles

    <h4>Chapter 923: Principles</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    Zhao Yao repeatedly used the World Horn in the game, which drew the attention of many. The Awareness Dimension allowed Zhao Yao to absorb the scattered consciousnesses of these people through the Book. The evolution bar started to increase rapidly as a result.

    ¡°Not bad, not bad. At this rate, Diana will be able to level up again by tomorrow or the day after.¡±

    Thinking about how he was able to use the Book in Closers World after leveling up Diana, Zhao Yao wondered what function he would get if he increased Diana¡¯s level of evolution.

    Zhao Yao was satisfied after spamming the World Horn for half an hour and seeing all the yers surrounding him, so he decided to go offline.

    He did not continue using the World Horn as he did not want the yers to get used to it and stop focusing their attention on him.

    ¡°A little goes a long way. I shouldn¡¯t kill the sheep after fleecing the flock.¡±

    With that thought of nurturing sheep in his mind, Zhao Yao decided to only go online periodically to spam the World Horn and increase his progress in the evolution bar.

    In the real world, Zhao Yao took of the game console and stretched his back. ¡°I¡¯ve finally found a way to steadily increase Diana¡¯s level. I shall y the game again tomorrow night.¡±

    Zhao Yao, who had just rxed, suddenly frowned as he sniffed the air with his nose.

    ¡°This smell...¡± Zhao Yao whipped his head over and looked at Arthas and Diana, who were still ying Closers World.

    ¡°These two cats are so... smelly. Speaking of that, Arthas has not taken a bath since he was captured and brought to Cat Ind, right? It¡¯s been almost a year since Diana took a bath too.¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned. He was toozy to bathe them himself, so he took out his phone to message the two cats on Wechat and told them to go bathe themselves after logging out of the game. He then walked out of that house back to his own home. However, once he sat down on the sofa, he could not help frowning again as a pungent smell kept assaulting his senses, making him feel really ufortable.

    ¡°This smell...¡± Zhao Yao stood up and walked to the kitchen. He saw Mango lying on the floor with his limbs in the air, snoring in deep sleep.

    What attracted his attention the most was the part below his tail, which was a stained mess. That was the source of the pungent smell.

    After Zhao Yao¡¯s five senses were strengthened, the advantages of his heightened senses were not the only thing he gained. There were also many inconvenient instances.

    For example, at this moment, his astounding sense of smell exposed him to many different kinds of bad smells.

    Looking at Mango who was sound asleep, Zhao Yao said exasperatedly, ¡°Mango, why did you not clean your butt after taking a nasty shit? And what¡¯s that smelling from your body? Why is it so smelly?¡±

    When Mango heard Zhao Yao¡¯s voice, his eyes immediately flew open and he whipped his head around to look at Zhao Yao. Mango¡¯s eyes looked totally nk.

    Zhao Yao squatted in front of Mango and sniffed hard. He thought to himself, ¡°Speaking of that, Mango hasn¡¯t taken a bath in a really long time as well... Forget it. I will bathe him another day when I have time.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯sziness was acting up. Though his nose was about to drop off from the pungent smells, he still bore with the smells and continued using his phone as hezed on the sofa.

    ¡°This period has been so tiring for me. Let me rest for a while.¡±

    However, after more than 10 minutes, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyebrows could not help twitching as his right eyelid trembled. He saw a pair of furry cat ears sticking out from the bottom of the windowsill which was twitching nonstop.

    Not long after, a white paw gently pushed open the window. Matcha stuck his head in and looked around before he met eyes with Zhao Yao.

    When they met eyes, Matcha¡¯s body froze on the spot. The paw he had raised froze in midair.

    After three seconds of being immobilized on the spot, Matcha turned around nonchntly and gently closed the window as he retracted his head.

    ¡°Stop right there!¡± Zhao Yao said coldly. ¡°What are you doing? Why are you behaving so sneakily.¡±

    Matcha turned around slowly as heughed nervously and said, ¡°Zhao Yao why are you here... I came to find Milk Tea. Is he not inside?¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s not,¡± Zhao Yao replied casually. However, he sniffed again and frowned as he asked, ¡°Why are you so smelly? How long have you not taken a bath?¡±

    When he heard the word ¡°bath¡±, Matcha¡¯s body trembled before he ran away.

    Zhao Yao sighed and said, ¡°Looks like I will have to bathe them soon. It¡¯s been around a year since I bathed these guys.¡±

    Meow!!!

    After a while, an ear-splitting scream was heard. Matcha zoomed out in an instant, fleeing hundreds of meters away into the forest on the Cat Ind.

    Zhao Yao walked out of the room and frowned. ¡°This guy. It¡¯s been so long since he has awakened and he still hates bathing that much.¡± He had been using Diana¡¯s superpower just now, so Matcha had had the chance to activate Time Freeze and flee.

    Zhao Yao smirked. He turned and went back inside to find Mango. He picked Mango up and said in a coaxing manner, ¡°Mango, my good boy. I¡¯ll bring you to a fun ce.¡±

    Mango stared at Zhao Yao nkly. Just like that, Zhao Yao brought him in to the bathroom...

    Matcha stumbled as he ran and screamed in panic, ¡°Bad news!!! Zhao Yao is going to bathe the cats now!¡±

    Matcha¡¯s screams reverberated through the whole forest as every supercat came out from tree branches, treeholes, cat beds, kitty towers, and all kinds of other things and ran around in a panic.

    ¡°What? Zhao Yao is going to bathe the cats?¡±

    ¡°How dare he? How dare he do such a thing?¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s fight it out with him!¡±

    Hundreds of supercats started meowing incessantly.

    Elizabeth could not stand it anymore and was the first to stand out from the crowd. She looked at Matcha, who was running around rabidly, and asked, ¡°Matcha stop running around! What exactly is going on. Exin yourself.¡±

    Seeing how Matcha was still running around madly, Elizabeth frowned and her eyes shed red as she activated her powers to stop Matcha from running about.

    ¡°Speak now. What is happening?¡±

    Matcha stuttered as he answered, ¡°I... I was just passing by Zhao Yao¡¯s home. However, he said that I was too smelly and wanted to bathe me. He even said that it¡¯s been too long since we all had a bath, so he wants to bathe all of us today.¡±

    ¡°In his dreams!¡± Ares licked the long fur on his body and said angrily, ¡°I¡¯ve grown this fur for so long. Does he know how much fur I will drop after bathing? I will need at least one hour just to lick it dry!¡±

    ¡°Yeah!¡± Airne chimed in. ¡°All of us lick our fur everyday. We¡¯re super clean! We don¡¯t need baths at all!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯d rather die than take a bath!¡± Lightning screamed. ¡°I haven¡¯t had a bath since I was born! I have already decided not to bathe at all! If Zhao Yao wants me to bathe, he might as well just kill me!¡±

    As he said that, Lightning raised his paw and said, ¡°Everyone say it with me, I won¡¯t bathe even if you kill me!¡±

    There was silence all around. Only Lucifer bit his tail excitedly as he said, ¡°I won¡¯t bathe even if you kill me!¡±

    Lightning turned and saw Matcha say in a small voice, ¡°Forget it bro. A bath is still better than dying.¡±

    ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s right. It¡¯s just a bath, we don¡¯t need to put our lives at stake for that.¡±

    ¡°Thinking about it now, actually bathing isn¡¯t that bad.¡±

    ¡°I took a bathst time. It was over within moments. It¡¯s just like being bitten by a dog.¡±

    Hearing the supercats breaking into incessant chatter again, Elizabeth scoffed and said, ¡°Shut up, all of you!¡±

    ¡°A bunch of useless bums.¡±

    ¡°If you guys want to bathe it¡¯s your choice, but I am definitely not going to bathe,¡± Elizabeth said resolutely. ¡°If its bathing today, it will be neutering tomorrow! When ites to principles, I will never back down!¡±

 Chapter 924: Bathing and the Capture

    <h4>Chapter 924: Bathing and the Capture</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    Hearing Elizabeth¡¯s resolute tone, all the cats started to think twice about her words.

    Deep down, Elizabeth was panicking. ¡°If these guys don¡¯t protest, I¡¯ll be the only cat protesting. If that¡¯s the case, I will definitely be doomed to a bath!¡±

    The thought of bathing her long fur made Elizabeth feel awful.

    She was gifted with extraordinary fur and had been given the title of ¡°Miss Furry¡± from a young age, when she was still in the cattery. She had always been the cat with the bushiest, longest, thickest, and prettiest fur out of all her cat peers.

    The beauty of her fur allowed her to stand out from the other cats and catch the eye of humans as well. Both the cat world and the human world were her oysters.

    However, her long fur also required Elizabeth to do many other things that most cats would not need to do.

    For example when licking their fur every morning, Shorthairs like Rice Cake only needed 10-30 minutes to lick their paws and wash their faces. Elizabeth, on the other hand, had to lick herself from head to toe, which took at least an hour. If she wanted to lick herself clean it could even take up to two hours.

    Everyday when she shat in the toilet, it required more cleaning up as well. Being a Ragdoll cat made things worse as she had a weak stomach to begin with...

    However, the thing that Elizabeth hated the most about her long fur is having to bathe with it.

    It either made her feel wet all over, either she would have to be blown by a hot and noisy hair dryer for an hour or she could slowly lick her fur for several hours. Whichever method she adopted, the experience would be equally awful.

    Hence, Elizabeth was vehemently against bathing.

    She was only heard saying, ¡°Everyone, now is the time to show Zhao Yao know our powers! Why would we need to be scared of one Zhao Yao when there¡¯s so many of us here?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m scared,¡± The Ragdoll cat father Caesar said. ¡°If we protest, Zhao Yao will definitely beat us up. He might even shave off our fur, starve us, lock us in cages, shoot us with water guns...¡±

    ¡°Shut up,¡± Elizabeth red at her father and continued, ¡°Zhao Yao is but a mere human! He can only use one kind of superpower at one time! As long as we work together, we can definitely beat Zhao Yao! No more baths for us then!¡±

    Caesar cowered in a corner, trembling. ¡°But Zhao Yao¡¯s physical capabilities are too strong. He can demolish a building with just a punch. We will definitely be punished really badly, be soaked in the water indefinitely and Zhao Yao might even resort to using an automatic cat washing machine to bathe us...¡±

    ¡°A cat washing machine?¡± Rice Cake eximed. ¡°Why would he use such an evil thing?!¡±

    ¡°He might really use it.¡± Dust Ball wagged her ck tail and said seriously, ¡°When I went overst time, I saw Zhao Yao stealthily browsing through all sorts of cat wash machines on Taobao. He closed the app the moment he saw me.¡±

    ¡°Oh my goodness, Zhao Yao actually wanted to buy a cat washing machine?¡±

    Lightning said, ¡°Ah Qiang, who stayed next to the Cat Wondend, told me that he suffered from impotence after bathing in one! He could only maintain it for seconds!¡±

    Elizabeth suddenly felt tired from listening to all the chatter amongst the cats, who had be distracted and started discussing the dangers of cat washing machines. ¡°Sigh. When ites to things like cats, it¡¯s really too hard to lead a team.¡±

    In a beachside vi, Zhao Yao stood before a pool in the toilet. The pool had a pot basin in it. Mango began soaking in this pool at that moment, with a nk look on his face.

    Zhao Yao squeezed some pet shampoo on Mango¡¯s head and thered it all the way down as he began to scrub Mango¡¯s back.

    Mango opened his mouth foolishly and his tongue lolled out. A look of annoyance shed across his face.

    Zhao Yao did not care about that and continued to scrub Mango. He then washed the shampoo off Mango and took out the hairdryer to blow dry his fur.

    Looking at Mango who asionally shook his head as if he wanted to leave, Zhao Yao remarked, ¡°Mango, you¡¯re the only one who¡¯s this obedient during baths. When will the other cats learn from you?¡±

    Right at that moment, Zhao Yao¡¯s phone rang. It was a Wechat message from Roly Poly. ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, Elizabeth, Matcha and the other cats are discussing how to rebel against you and refuse to bathe!¡±

    ¡°These guys.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head. He put Mango, whom he had blown dry, down on the floor, rubbing Mango¡¯s head as he said, ¡°Mango you were so obedient when bathing today. Let¡¯s give you a can of cat food as a treat.¡±

    When he heard the words ¡°cat food¡±, Mango¡¯s eyes widened as he stared at Zhao Yao expectantly.

    Zhao Yao controlled the cupboard with his mind and forced it open. A can of cat food flew out and opened by itself before itnded in front of Mango.

    As he watched Mango savor the canned food, Zhao Yao¡¯s body shed and he disappeared into thin air.

    ...

    On the other side of Cat Ind, Roly Poly giggled as he kept away his phone. He thought to himself, ¡°Humph, Zhao Yao¡¯s favor for Elizabeth and Matcha will definitely diminish this time.¡±

    In Roly Poly¡¯s consciousness, Project X remarked, ¡°So this is your way of conquering the world?¡±

    ¡°What do you know?¡± Roly Poly said nonchntly. ¡°If I want to conquer the world, I have to first conquer Zhao Yao. To conquer Zhao Yao, I must first ruin Matcha and Elizabeth.¡±

    Project X replied, ¡°Humph, Zhao Yao is nothing. If it wasn¡¯t for me...¡±

    Roly Poly cut him off. ¡°You have already lost. Admit it. You have lost to the point where not a strand of your fur is left. Can you stop making all these unnecessaryments? It just makes you look like a sore loser.¡±

    Project X replied angrily, ¡°I¡¯m a sore loser? How am I a sore loser? I wouldn¡¯t have lost if that kid Zhao Yao hadn¡¯t yed dirty tricks and avoided fighting me up front! Who knows if my capabilities are above him now?¡±

    Roly Poly mimicked Project X¡¯s tone and replied, ¡°Let me sleep... Just let me sleep for a while... I have really reached my maximum point...¡±

    ¡°Hello? Project X?¡±

    ¡°Are you still there?¡±

    ¡°Did you close yourself off?¡±

    Roly Poly pursed his lips. He turned to walk off and check on the situation with Elizabeth and the rest when he suddenly came face to face with Kun Wu, which scared him.

    ¡°What are you doing! You scared the cat out of me!¡±

    Kun Wu stared at Roly Poly suspiciously and asked, ¡°Who were you talking to just now?¡±

    Roly Poly was startled. He immediately broke into augh and said, ¡°There¡¯s no one here, I¡¯m just talking to myself.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Kun Wu stared at Roly Poly and said, ¡°Why do I feel like you were talking to another cat, as if there were another cat in your mind.¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s heart dropped as he continued with his pretense, ¡°Are you saying I have bipr disorder? You¡¯re the crazy one. I can¡¯t be bothered with you.¡±

    Kun Wu watched as Roly Poly hastily left. She cocked her head to one side and wondered to herself, ¡°Why... did I dream of him again recently?¡±

    On the other side of the Cat Ind, ear-splitting cat screams erupted all around. Zhao Yao had started capturing the cats to bathe them.

    ...

    Three dayster, Maria walked out of Jianghai Airport in a crisp ck suit with two white people behind her, one male and one female.

    Maria nced at her watch and said, ¡°It¡¯s 12.43pm now. Our return flight is scheduled at 8.45pm tonight. It takes around 2 hours to get to the target¡¯s workce. If we take 4 hours to travel back and forth from our destination, we will have around 4 hours to capture the target.¡±

    ¡°Why is it so rushed?¡±

    ¡°Boss wants it urgently.¡±

    Maria and her aides came to Jianghai to carry out the orders of the alien cat, Giggle, to capture Zhao Yao.

    ¡°The name of our target this time is Zhao Yao. He¡¯s the ringleader of a massive and evil supercat syndicate. There are rumors that he has more than 200 supercats as his ves,¡± Maria said slowly. ¡°In the day, he stays in the Cat Wondend which he leaves open most of the time.¡±

    The female beside her asked, ¡°Cat Wondend?¡±

    ¡°An entertainment center that solicits cats as social escorts,¡± Maria replied. ¡°I heard that every month, many young cats are forced to stay in there to work as escorts to pay off their debts to Zhao Yao.¡±

    Ada frowned. ¡°So he¡¯s a bad person.¡±

    Maria, Ada and the man beside them, John, were normal apostles which Giggle found in the United States. Their powers were only able to surpass that of ordinary apostles on Earth after Giggle personally trained them.

    However, because of their background as average apostles, their intel and connections were of an average level as well. It was impossible for them to be able to get hold of top secret information in other countries, such as the secret that Zhao Yao was actually the Headless Horseman.

    Not to mention the fact that Zhao Yao was the one who had once wrecked the superpower realm of the United States, Japan, and Europe. This information was considered top secret, ssified information in the field of superpower intelligence.

    Maria said, ¡°Aside from Cat Wondend, he also owns an 18-storey building. There are rumors that he stays there sometimes as well. His parents live in this city, and I have found his home address.¡±

    John asked, ¡°What are you trying to say?¡±

    Maria said, ¡°Boss gave us a very tight deadline. In the interests of time, we can split ourselves up in these three directions. Ada, you will go and find his parents, I will go to the Cat Wondend and John, you will go to his building. In this way, any of us has a chance of seeding in capturing him. We can meet at the airport and use our powers to bring him aboard the ne with us.¡±

    John and Ada nodded in agreement at Maria¡¯s proposal. It would definitely save them time.

    However, Ada asked out of concern, ¡°The opponent has more than 200 supercats in the Cat Wondend afterall. Maria, will you be able to handle by yourself?¡±

    John chuckled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry Ada. You will understand after you have been through more battles. Our superpoweres from the superpower that is the origin of all superpowers in the world. It is the power of the Awareness Dimension.

    We can control the awareness of any biological living thing on Earth. We can also hide in the Awareness Dimension wherever and whenever we need to, protecting us from any attack.

    Whereas for the apostles and supercats on Earth, their superpowers are merely sped-up, low quality forms of superpowers. In other words...¡±

    John said confidently, ¡°The difference between our superpowers is equivalent to the distance between two dimensions. As long as we are unwilling, they will not be able to break through our defense. The Earth is but a yground to our Boss anyway.¡±

    As he said that, he sighed. ¡°The future of this world has long escaped the control of us humans.¡±

    ...

    Two hourster, Maria arrived at the entrance of the Cat Wondend following the address she had.

    However, the Cat Wondend today was a little different than what she had expected. The entrance was splendidly decorated, with long banners hanging all around the ce.

    Rows of flower wreaths, hampers and pennants were being delivered to the entrance as well.

    If Maria could understand Mandarin, she would be able to read the words written on these things, which were:

    ¡°Warm congrattions for the 26th birthday of Zhao Yao, one of the top 10 outstanding youths in Jianghai city.¡±

    ¡°Wishing Boss Zhao with flourishing wealth and prosperity!¡±

    ¡°A talented man with a kind heart, a savior for both humans and cats.¡±

    ¡°Meow Meow Meow Meow! Meow Meow Meow Meow!!¡±

    ¡°Save my lowly life.¡±

    ¡°Sincerity as the basis of enterprise.¡±

    ¡°All the service cats in the Cat Wondend wish Boss Zhao bountiful fortune and evesting longevity.¡±

    Though Maria did not understand Mandarin, she could see that all kinds of people were walking into the Cat Wondend. A few cats could be seening in and out asionally. Cat Wondend today was obviously bustling with activity.

    ¡°So many people? I should find someone to find out what is going on,¡± Maria frowned. She wanted to ask what was going on at the Cat Wondend when she suddenly spotted two cats climbing out the window of the third storey of the Cat Wondend and making their way down to the ground through a series of runs and jumps.

    Seeing the backpacks on the backs of both cats, Maria was certain that these two cats were likely to be supercats.

    ¡°Asking cats might be even better than asking people. Especially when it¡¯s information regarding a supercat organization.¡±

    At the thought of this, Maria smiled to herself and followed after the two supercats who had jumped out.

    At a small alley, she realized that both supercats had already turned around, waiting for her toe.

    Mao Mao exhaled in relief when he saw Maria. ¡°That scared me. I thought Bai Quan, Zhao Yao and the rest wereing after us.¡±

    The multi-colored cat beside him said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, Boss. Ares and the rest will soon discover that we have escaped. If we are caught again we are doomed!¡±

    Just as the two cats turned to walk off, a female voice rang in their awareness. It was simr to the voices they used tomunicate telepathically.

    ¡°Are the both of you trying to run away from Zhao Yao?¡±

    Mao Mao and the multicolored cat immediately became alert and asked, ¡°Who¡¯s that?¡±

    Maria stared at both of them and said, ¡°It¡¯s me. Are you the supercats that Zhao Yao captured?¡±

    Mao Mao and the multicolored cat stared at Maria in astonishment. ¡°You can speak?¡±

    Maria smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s just some trick I know when using the power of Awareness. It can transcendnguage andmunication barriers to input my thoughts directly into your minds.¡±

    As she said that, Maria squatted down under the wary gaze of both cats. She smiled as she said to them, ¡°Can you tell me more about Zhao Yao? Is he inside? Why are there so many people at Cat Wondend today?¡±

    Mao Mao replied, ¡°It¡¯s Zhao Yao¡¯s 26th birthday today. Don¡¯t you know?¡±

    The multicolored cat said at the side, ¡°Boss, don¡¯t waste time talking to her. Let¡¯s hurry up and leave. Ares and the rest will catch up in no time.¡±

    Mao Mao nodded and turned to run with the multicolored cat.

    However, following Maria¡¯s will, the two cats suddenly felt a sense of blurriness as they turned and stared at Maria with a friendly gaze. They suddenly felt as though the woman in front of them was very kind and that they should listen to her.

    Maria smiled happily and asked, ¡°Where is Zhao Yao?¡±

    Mao Mao immediately answered, ¡°Zhao Yao hasn¡¯te in today, because Sheriff isn¡¯t here either. He normally sticks by Zhao Yao¡¯s side. If he isn¡¯t here, Zhao Yao is definitely not here as well. He might still be sleeping now.¡±

    ¡°Sheriff? Is that a police officer?¡±

    ¡°Sheriff is just a cat! No, he¡¯s a spy cat. He has psychic superpowers and can read minds. He betrays our thoughts to Zhao Yao all the time!¡± Mao Mao said ruthlessly, ¡°All the cats want to kill him.¡±

    When she heard Mao Mao¡¯s reply, Maria nodded. ¡°The ability to read minds? Thankfully I know this beforehand, or else there might have been unforeseen problems.¡±

    At that moment, the sound of cats meowing was heard.

    When they heard the sound, Mao Mao and the multicolored cat immediately curled up behind Maria, trembling in fear.

    Maria turned and saw Ares, who had brought Lucifer, F¨±jin, and the rest over. He pointed to the two cats and said, ¡°The two of you still want to run? I will bring you guys back and tell Zhao Yao!¡±

    Lucifer walked up and said, ¡°I advise you guys not to resist. If I go crazy, even I would be afraid of what I could do.¡± As he said that, Lucifer had already scratched out his brains in a pool of blood to threaten Mao Mao and hisrade, as he licked off the fresh blood on his paw.

    ¡°You even catch your own kind!¡±

    How ruthless!¡±

    Mao Mao and the multicolored cat hugged each other and licked each other frantically.

    Maria stared at Ares and thought to herself, ¡°This cat¡¯s look is... so unique. You can actually style cat fur to look like a dinosaur...¡±

    However, when Maria heard Ares, Lucifer ,and the other cats speaking, her eyes lit up, knowing that these must be Zhao Yao¡¯s supercats. She smiled and said kindly, ¡°This Cat Mister, Mao Mao and his friend lost their way. They were lucky they met me and I brought them back. I¡¯ll send them back to Cat Wondend together with you guys.¡±

    Ares and the rest felt the same daze affecting their minds. They suddenly felt that Maria was so friendly and sincere and even overlooked the surprising fact that she couldmunicate with them in the first ce.

    Ares nodded his head continuously as he replied, ¡°Sure, sure. Let¡¯s go back to Cat Wondend together.¡±

    Maria asked, ¡°By the way, what happened to your fur?¡±

    Ares¡¯ expression darkened. ¡°Isn¡¯t it all because of Zhao Yao? Three days ago, all the cats shat in front of Zhao Yao¡¯s house to protest against Zhao Yao¡¯s violent cat baths.¡±

    ¡°However, not only did Zhao Yao end up bathing us, he even shaved the fur of the supercats who led the protest. My long, soft and white fur was shaved into this silly look as a result.¡±

    As Ares said that, he stared at the heart-shaped fur trimmed on his chest. He could not help biting at it as he ranted, ¡°Who needs love!¡±

    Maria nodded silently. ¡°This guy is really horrible to the core. Has he always been suppressing the supercats under him?¡±

    As she walked into the Cat Wondend with Ares and the other cats, Maria stared at the crowd of people in the main hall and thought to herself, ¡°Better not incite the panic of the masses. I shall find a ce to wait for Zhao Yao.¡±

    At that moment, Maria saw a smiley young man walk over in her direction and ask, ¡°Ares, who is thisdy? Is she your friend?¡±

    The stronger the mental strength, the greater the ability to control the Awareness Dimension.

    Maria, who had borrowed Giggle¡¯s powers, simrly had extraordinary mental strength.

    Her acute mental strength equipped her with a strong sensibility.

    The moment Bai Quan walked up to them, Maria immediately sensed an immense feeling of threat from him. The hairs on her body stood on their ends immediately, as if she had met a tiger in the woods.

    ¡°This person... is very strong. He poses an immense threat to my physical safety. I can¡¯t let him do as he wishes.¡± After thinking about it, Maria said to Bai Quan, ¡°Hi, I am Zhao Yao¡¯s friend. I came here to wish him a happy birthday.¡±

    Bai Quan¡¯s mind suddenly felt hazy. The next moment, he broke into a smile and said, ¡°So you¡¯re Boss¡¯ friend? Pleasee upstairs. There¡¯s still some space upstairs. Boss might only be able toe over here at night. Pleasee up and have some food while waiting for him.¡±

    Maria continuedmunicating with him directly through their Awareness. She nodded and said, ¡°Great, could I trouble you to bring me up please?¡± She nced at Ares and the other cats and said, ¡°You guys should apany me upstairs too.¡±

    When they found a seat in the buffet-style restaurant upstairs, Bai Quan waved and called over a service crewman. It was Lang Gou, a member of the previous ¡®Ivory¡¯ crew. ¡°Bring some delicious food over here. This is Boss¡¯ friend. Treat her nicely.¡±

    Lang Gou nced at Maria. First, he was attracted to her beautiful face and golden hair. His eyes trailed down to her chest area next.

    When he saw that full curveline, Lang Gou thought to himself, ¡°This measurement... Boss must think really highly of this friend.¡±

    Not long after, Lang Gou filled the table with all kinds of delicacies.

    Maria tried a bit of the steak and immediately widened her eyes with delight.

    Every bit of the steak oozed with juiciness. The rich vor of the sauce filled her tastebuds and the meat was unbelievably fresh and tender.

    Maria was shocked, ¡°This steak tastes even better than the one I had in the Michelin 3-star restaurant in New York.¡±

    Bai Quan smiled and pointed to the te on the table as he said, ¡°The head chef here was invited over personally by Boss. His standards are very high. You should try his Chinese cuisine.¡±

    Not far away from them in the kitchen, Lang Gou said to Midnight, who was preparing the dishes, ¡°Look at that woman, she seems to be eating so happily. Midnight, your cooking skills are getting better and better.¡±

    When Midnight heard that, he paused for a moment and thought of all the hard work he put into honing his cooking in the past few months.

    He practised his culinary skills day and night. Once a w was spotted he was insulted and put down. The food he cooked was bepared against the standards of simr illusory dishes.

    The repetitive and rigorous trainings everyday, going back and forth for 50 kilometers. Practising the Britain spoon technique thousands of times and cutting vegetables thousands of times... His originally ck hair had even turned snow white from the stress. He was finally able to push his culinary skills to their pinnacle and live on in a dignified manner in the Cat Wondend.

    As Maria was eating, she pushed the te to Ares, Mao Mao and the other cats and said, ¡°You guys should try this too to see if it¡¯s nice.¡±

    ¡°Eh? We can eat that too?¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao will definitely not allow us to eat human food.¡±

    ¡°Thest time I tried it secretly. I was almost beaten to death.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Maria stared at their pitiful faces and said, ¡°Just eat it. No one can stop you guys from eating what you guys want to eat today.¡±

    Seeing how the supercats wolfed down the food, Maria shook her head, thinking about how these poor cats must have been heavily oppressed in their daily lives.

    Not long after they started eating, an orange cat suddenly sauntered over and leapt on the dining table. He stared at Mao Mao, Ares and the other supercats and said, ¡°Ares, what are you guys doing! Why are you all eating where the guests are eating?¡±

    Maria stared at the orange cat in front of her. The cat looked simr to Mao Mao. The only difference was that the fur on this cat¡¯s head had been permed into curls that swirled endlessly.

    ¡°A curly-furred cat?¡±

    When Matcha heard that, he stared in astonishment at Maria. ¡°Was I exposed? Woman, don¡¯t tell other people about this. Everyone treats me like a normal orange cat. They don¡¯t know my true identity, and I don¡¯t want to burden them with it.¡±

    After listening to Matcha, Maria nodded and looked at his curling fur and said, ¡°Your hairstyle¡¯s awesome.¡±

    Matcha opened his wide eyes and swept back his curling hair as he looked at Maria and said, ¡°They¡¯re okay. Your hairstyle¡¯s pretty good too.¡±

    10 minutester...

    ¡°Hahahaha.¡± Matcha grabbed a huge bunch of catmint and shoved it into his mouth as he pressed on his cell phone and shouted, ¡°Bring ten more cans of canned food!¡±

    Maria smiled sweetly at Matcha and said, ¡°Matcha, you¡¯ve quite an appetite.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s nothing!¡± Matcha shouted. ¡°If Zhao Yao had not been strict with me, I would be able to finish 30 canned food in a meal!¡±

    Ares grabbed a bunch of catmint and shoved into his mouth. ¡°Zhao Yao¡¯s bothersome. He likes to stick his fingers in everything!¡±

    Lucifer slit his chest numerous times using a dining knife as he said, ¡°He¡¯s like a naggy olddy who babbles nonstop!¡±

    Mariaughed and said, ¡°Since you hate him that much, why don¡¯t you leave?¡±

    Matcha¡¯s body trembled and gestured with his paw to lower her voice. ¡°Don¡¯t speak nonsense. We¡¯ll be in trouble if Zhao Yao hears us.¡±

    Maria put some catmint into Matcha¡¯s mouth and said, ¡°There¡¯s only a few of us here and Zhao Yao can¡¯t hear us.¡±

    Matcha fell into a daze and said, ¡°Zhao Yao¡¯s very powerful and resistance is futile. We can¡¯t escape from his clutches...¡±

    ¡°Is that so?¡± Maria continued to ask, ¡°Why don¡¯t you stop lending your superpowers to him?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not going to work,¡± Ares interrupted and said. ¡°Zhao Yao could use our superpowers directly without us lending them to him and he could switch between the superpowers with ease. He¡¯s that powerful.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Maria thought. ¡°If Zhao Yao managed to create such a powerful supercat force, he must have extraordinary talent. How did he use the superpowers without borrowing them ?¡±

    She recalled Giggle¡¯s superpower. ¡°If I can use Giggle¡¯s superpower without borrowing...¡± She perked up and became more curious about Zhao Yao.

    Noticing that the people around were casting their nces at them, Maria said, ¡°Where¡¯s Zhao Yao¡¯s office? Let¡¯s wait for him there.¡±

    Maria followed Matcha, Ares, Mao Mao, and Bai Quan to his office.

    Maria sat on Zhao Yao¡¯s chair and said to them, ¡°Are there any powerful supercats under him? Ask them toe here, I would like to talk to them.¡±

    Under the office table, the invisible Roly Poly froze as he installed a bugging device. He thought fearfully, ¡°Isn¡¯t Zhao Yaoing? Why did he return so soon? Why didn¡¯t Uncle Egg and the rest alert me?¡±

    Project X shouted in his awareness, ¡°She¡¯s not Zhao Yao but another apostle... Hmm... she¡¯s powerful. Be careful not to show yourself.¡±

    ...

    In the vi on Cat Ind, Zhao Yaoy on the sofa as he examined the BOOK¡¯s evolution progress bar.

    ¡°It¡¯s great.¡± With the increase of the progress bar due to Zhao Yao¡¯s efforts, Diana had upgraded two levels to Level 13.

    At Level 13, she did not have new skills but upon transformation, her physical immunity factor improved by 40% and superpower¡¯s effect increased by 130%.

    Seeing the progress bar increasing systematically, Zhao Yao nodded. ¡°Perhaps, I can help to promote this game? No, it¡¯s better to deal with the alien cats before taking over this game.¡±

    After much pondering, he felt that the online game was a very promising business.

    ¡°If I can get more game yers and I be stronger... that¡¯s my dream job.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Is Diana¡¯s evolution about increasing her power after transformation? I wonder what¡¯s the effect of the nket increase on me.¡±

    At this time, Zhao Yao¡¯s ears quivered and he lowered his head to see Mango holding his bathing basin in his mouth and putting it at his feet silently. Then Mango stared at him.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Mango, daily bathing is not good for your skin and fur.¡±

    Mango tilted his head and meowed at Zhao Yao, who was not sure if Mango understood him.

    Zhao Yao crossed his arms and said, ¡°No, only one bath per month. Take the basin away.¡±

    Mango seemed to understand and lowered his head dejectedly. He climbed into the bathing basin and curled himself up.

    Zhao Yao shook his head as he could not understand why Mango liked bathing that much. Suddenly, Zhao Yao¡¯s body froze as he was engulfed with strong sense of animosity.

    Zhao Yao was annoyed as he turned back to see a pair of azure eyes looking at him with hatred.

    It¡¯s Elizabeth who was sprawled on the window sill. The fur on her head and back was ited with numerous pigtails and she looked ugly.

    ¡°Elizabeth, don¡¯t look at me like that. Wasn¡¯t it you who incited them not to bathe? This is your punishment. I¡¯ll undo your pigtails in a week so don¡¯t think about it.¡±

    Elizabeth rolled her eyeballs away and said grimly, ¡°No, I didn¡¯t ask you to undo the pigtails. They look pretty neat.¡±

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you work today?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not feeling well.¡±

    Zhao Yao said patiently, ¡°Elizabeth, even if you dislike bathing, you can¡¯t avoid bathing for long periods of time. It¡¯s not good for the skin and fur and they will be dirty and stinky. Do you want to be smelly?¡±

    ¡°I lick myself three times daily! I¡¯m not smelly!¡±

    ¡°Your saliva¡¯s stinky.¡±

    ¡°My saliva¡¯s not stinky!¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed and he felt it was impossible to change Elizabeth¡¯s way of thinking.

    Zhao Xue walked sleepily down the stairs. Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw the muscles on her arms and thighs. ¡°I¡¯ll like to test out Diana¡¯s transformation myself so I should spar with Zhao Xue.¡±

    Zhao Xue felt ufortable with Zhao Yao¡¯s gaze and hugged herself as she asked bewilderedly, ¡°Didn¡¯t I put on my underwear?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Zhao Xue, let¡¯s spar and learn from each other.¡±

    Zhao Xue rolled her eyes and took out a bottle of milk from the fridge as she said, ¡°Do you like beating up your sister?¡±

    ¡°How could it be because of that? It¡¯s sparring only. Would I be that ruthless against my own sister?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not sparring and I can¡¯t defeat you.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡± I won¡¯t use other superpower. It¡¯s an ordinary sparring match.¡±

    ¡°Beautiful women aren¡¯t interested in fighting.¡±

    Zhao Yao coaxed, ¡°I¡¯ll pay you a thousand dors. How¡¯s that?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t use money to bribe me.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°How about ten thousand dors?¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao, are you thinking of doing weird stuff to your sister?¡±

    On Cat Ind¡¯s beach, Zhao Xue squinted her eyes like a preying cat as she gazed at Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao tilted his neck sideways and said, ¡°Are you ready? I¡¯m starting.¡±

    Zhao Xue nodded solemnly and said, ¡°Are you sure you¡¯re not using superpowers to attack me?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡±

    Elizabeth, whose head was ited with numerous pigtails, sprawled by the beach and cajoled, ¡°Buck up Zhao Xue! Beat him to death!¡±

    Zhao Yao sneered and activated Diana¡¯s transformation superpower.

    His body became translucent and wavered as though he was made of mist.

    ¡°Is this Diana¡¯s physical immunity factor of 40% and Nightmare Lord¡¯s power-up factor of 140%?¡± Zhao Yao curled his index finger at Zhao Xue and said, ¡°Come on, attack me.¡±

    ¡°Humph.¡± Zhao Xue stomped and appeared like lightning behind Zhao Yao. She threw a vicious punch at his back.

    A loud bang was heard as Zhao Yao braced himself for the impact that caused his right leg to fall back. He asked, ¡°Zhao Xue, how much of your strength did you use?¡±

    Zhao Xue replied, ¡°I haven¡¯t started yet!¡±

    After-images of Zhao Xue surrounded Zhao Yao as she executed frenzied punches. Explosions rang in the air as heavy impactsnded on his body like thunderps.

    Zhao Xue¡¯s feet created a violent sandstorm on the beach.

    She attacked a full minute before jumping back and panting heavily.

    After the sand and dust settled and revealed Zhao Yao¡¯s figure, Zhao Xue was astonished.

    After being hit by her punches, Zhao Yao looked intact though he was half-buried in the sand. He slowly climbed out and dusted off the sand on his pants.

    Zhao Xue was bewildered. ¡°You¡¯re alright?¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled. ¡°Your skills are not powerful enough to harm me. You¡¯ve got more to learn.¡±

    You¡¯re reading on  Thanks!

    Zhao Xue frowned. ¡°What¡¯s with your body? When I hit you just now, it felt like cotton wool and there was no reactive force. Is that a new superpower?¡±

    Although Zhao Yao¡¯s constitution was very strong, Zhao Xue was not weak either. Even if Zhao Yao had be stronger and could brace himself against her attacks, it shouldn¡¯t have looked effortless.

    Zhao Yao smiled and did not reply to her. He was very pleased with the physical immunity factor of 40%. His defenses had increased without impeding his movement.

    His defenses had reached a new peak with the physical immunity factor and his strong constitution. He was like a human battleship.

    ¡°Good, we can stop sparring.¡± Zhao Yao waved his hand and returned to his room. He wanted to test if his limits in Closers World had be higher after Diana¡¯s evolution.

    When Diana evolved to Level 12, Zhao Yao discovered he could switch between Diana¡¯s superpowers. He could also enter Closers World and assume control of his game avatar without using the game visor.

    This proved that Diana had a better control of the Awareness Dimension¡¯s energy and Closers World. She could also disguise as Zhao Yao¡¯s game avatar.

    At Level 13, Zhao Yao focused his mind and entered Closers World. He discovered he could cut off the connection between game yers and Closers World.

    Diana, who was wearing the game visor and ying Closers World, abruptly opened her eyes and looked at Zhao Yao as she said, ¡°You... kicked me out of the game?¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± Zhao Yao smiled and said. ¡°Pretty neat superpower.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s cell phone rang. It was Roly Poly¡¯s message.

    ¡°Zhao Yao! Bad news! A woman is controlling your cats! She is going to leave with Matcha and the cats!¡±

    ...

    In the Cat Wondend¡¯s office, Maria sat in Zhao Yao¡¯s executive chair and looked at Matcha, Dust Ball, Ares and other supercats. The more she looked, the more excited she became.

    ¡°Awesome, Zhao Yao managed to recruit this many powerful supercats.¡±

    When she heard that Zhao Yao had over 200 supercats, she was dismissive as most supercats were ordinary and did not havebative superpowers.

    Frosty Deflective Field, Time Freeze, Extradimensional Belly, Ultra Rapid Regeneration, Sleep Induction... all these superpowers made her feel ecstatic.

    ¡°Common folks do not have the power to control the Awareness Dimension¡¯s energy. It¡¯s a waste of these superpowers to be left in Zhao Yao¡¯s charge,¡± Maria thought. ¡°If I have these supercats, Giggle¡¯s Awareness Dimension¡¯s energy and the secret of how Zhao Yao switches between superpowers...¡±

    She became ecstatic as she thought about her ns. She felt her heart beat faster.

    Bam! The office door was kicked open and Maria saw Zhao Yao walk in.

    ¡°You¡¯vee?¡± Maria smiled and said, ¡°Sit by the side and wait for a while. We¡¯re leaving soon.¡±

    Her reliable controlling superpower did note into effect.

    ¡°Humph?¡± Maria felt something was wrong and her vision became dark. She was deprived of her five senses as she fell to the ground. The image of Zhao Yao vanished from her eyes.

    The real Zhao Yao walked out from behind her and said, ¡°Not able to defend yourself against my power of illusion?¡±

    Zhao Yao was taken aback as Maria dissipated like sand particles as though she was swallowed by an invisible being.

    ¡°What¡¯s this?¡±

    Matcha became grim and turned his head to look at Zhao Yao as Maria¡¯s voice came out from Matcha¡¯s throat. ¡°Zhao Yao? You are powerful. Normal apostles would have been killed.¡±

    The Awareness Dimension¡¯s energy swept towards Zhao Yao but he was unaffected. Zhao Yao stepped forward and reached out it Matcha¡¯s direction.

    After Matcha was captured, Ares narrowed his eyes and screamed in shock, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you affected?¡±

    Maria was dumbstruck but she did not panic. With Giggle¡¯s superpower, she could hide in the Awareness Dimension when she was in danger. Even if she was killed, she could abandon her body and seek refuge in the Awareness Dimension.

    She could project her awareness on living things and continue to control other people.

    In short, she was invincible.

    Ares¡¯s body was possessed by Maria and the surrounding supercats and Bai Quan were under Maria¡¯s control. They eximed out of shock.

    Maria looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°You... are strange.¡± She tried to control Zhao Yao¡¯s mind but felt a void. There was nothing for her to control.

    ¡°You!¡±

    Zhao Yao picked Ares up and squeezed him till he passed out.

    Bai Quan¡¯s gaze faltered as he looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°What kind of creature are you?¡±

    Zhao Yao charged towards Bai Quan. As Bai Quan had a super strong constitution, both of them collided with a loud bang as though two Gundams had shed together.

    As both of their bodies smashed through walls and cracked the floor, Maria shouted, ¡°Attack Zhao Yao!¡±

    The supercats were dumbfounded and they hesitated.

    Maria activated her superpower and her awareness¡¯ energy swept over their bodies. The supercats went into a daze and attacked Zhao Yao with their superpowers.

    Boom! Superpowers rained on Zhao Yao and Bai Quan held Zhao Yao¡¯s neck as he was lifted up in the air.

    ¡°Give up. You were defeated the moment weid our eyes on you,¡± Maria said, ¡°me it on your arrogance. You thought that you were invincible with your supercats...¡±

    Zhao Yao squirmed and his arms transformed into metal cannons which were aimed at Bai Quan.

    ¡°Robot?¡± Maria was stunned. A high-voltage current went through Bai Quan and he was sent flying out.

    Dust Ball blinked her eyes as she was possessed by Maria. She opened a Dimension Portal and jumped headlong into it.

    ¡°What¡¯s happening? Where did the robote from? That¡¯s why I can¡¯t control his awareness.¡±

    As Maria retreated into the Extradimensional Belly to take a breather, she felt herself being squeezed as Dust Ball was picked up.

    ¡°Showing off your superpower recklessly without basic protection, you don¡¯t have a lot of superpower battle experience.¡±

    She turned Dust Ball¡¯s head and saw another Zhao Yao behind her as he lifted Dust Ball.

    ¡°Finally, it¡¯s the real Zhao Yao.¡± Maria sneered and directed her energy towards Zhao Yao¡¯s head but it was futile.

    The Extradimensional Belly disintegrated and transformed into Zhao Yao¡¯s hand, whose fingers were pinching her.

    ¡°What!¡± Maria was dumbfounded and she left Dust Ball¡¯s body and hid in the Awareness Dimension.

    Standing in the Beginner¡¯s Vige in the Closers World, Maria inhaled deeply to calm down as she slowly remembered the battle.

    Zhao Yao was adept in using superpowers. He did not reveal his true self at all and tricked her many times.

    ¡°Disgusting, what kind of a superpower is that?¡± Maria frowned as she thought, ¡°Should I let Ada and John help? No, I shall understand Zhao Yao¡¯s secret by myself...¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t panic, Maria. No matter how weird his superpowers are, I can always hide in the Awareness Dimension which is absolutely safe.¡±

    Maria looked at the Beginner¡¯s Vige and calmed down.

    Though she had the ability to return to the Awareness Dimension, she did not venture into the real Awareness Dimension as it was violent, chaotic, and random and she would be insane.

    Only Giggles and Tom, who were extremely powerful supercats could travel through the real Awareness Dimension with ease.

    Her hiding ce in the Awareness Dimension was Closers World.

    A shadow appeared before her just when she felt perfectly safe.

    Maria became grim. ¡°Zhao... Zhao Yao?¡±

    Zhao Yao turned and looked at Maria with sympathy as he said, ¡°Don¡¯t you understand your predicament?¡±

    Mariaughed loudly and said, ¡°Zhao Yao! You are very powerful as you have managed to pursue me in Closers World. However, it¡¯ll be your greatest mistake! You won¡¯t have a chance to escape here...¡±

    Maria¡¯s body emitted a plethora of colored rays as the strength of six Closer creatures¡¯ arose within her. She was obviously a high level yer.

    Zhao Yao smiled at her antics and said, ¡°Really? I love to prove arrogant people like you wrong and see your panicked face as you exim in shock.¡±

    Zhao Yao shed and appeared in front of Maria. He punched her chest and she flew out, leaving an air vortex behind her.

    Zhao Yao appeared behind her and stepped on her back, pushing her down from the sky like aet plummeting to Earth.

    Maria tried to stand up but found that her body was frozen and she could not control herself.

    She looked at Zhao Yao who descended from the sky and said out of astonishment, ¡°Why? Why are you able to do such stuff here?¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned as his eyes glittered with crimson rays. Maria, who was immobilized, uttered, ¡°How could this be?¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled with satisfaction as he said, ¡°Are you sure this is Closers World?¡±

    Maria¡¯s vision shed and she felt the surrounding light shing wildly. When she recovered, she was back in Cat Wondend¡¯s office.

    Maria said in a daze, ¡°An illusion? Didn¡¯t I enter Closers World?¡± She saw the intact walls and floor and said, ¡°It was all an illusion from the beginning?¡±

    ¡°This can¡¯t be... if I am being controlled by illusions, I should be able to return to the Awareness Dimension.¡±

    Maria looked at Zhao Yao and tried to control him once again. This time she did not feel any void but an unfathomable and terrifying power hidden behind a human face.

    Restraining chains appeared out of thin air and tied Maria to the wall.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you know? You are in the Awareness Dimension...¡±

    ¡°You are in your dream.¡±

    Half an hourter, Zhao Yao sat behind his office table as Mariay in front of him on the sofa in a deep sleep.

    Zhao Yao carried Sheriff in his arms and thought, ¡°Fortunately, I used the Portal Dimension to sneak behind her and got Sheriff to read her thoughts. Even if I defeat her in a fight, it¡¯ll lead the alien cats to me.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought that Maria¡¯s superpower was powerful beyond his expectations as she could hide in the Awareness Dimension in an instance.

    If not for Zhao Yao¡¯s sneak attack, he would have been ambushed by Maria instead and the consequences would be disastrous.

    Trapping her in the dreamscape was only a temporary solution.

    ¡°ording to Maria¡¯s memories, she could enter Closers World but she could neither enter dreamscapes nor the real Awareness Dimension.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m able to enter other people¡¯s dreamscape but I am unable to enter the real Awareness Dimension.¡±

    ¡°ording to Maria¡¯s information and Arthas¡¯ research, the real Awareness Dimension is extremely chaotic and violent. Traveling in the dimension requires one to be strong and in control of the Awareness Dimension¡¯s energy. Or one has to be as lucky as Doomsday for an unexpected evolution¡­¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin as he thought, ¡°This proves that I am stronger than Maria but I¡¯m inferior to the alien cats. They are able to travel freely in the Awareness Dimension, descend from aliens to Earth and even create Closers World.¡± He looked at the sleeping Maria while he worried about whether the alien cats could find him through her.

    If Zhao Yao were to fight against the alien cats, there was a high chance he would be defeated. Even if he won, he would have to pay a high price.

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes. ¡°I¡¯ve got to think of a way.¡±

    In the office, Matcha, Ares, Roly Poly and other supercats sprawled on the floor with lowered ears as they looked earnestly at each other.

    Matcha said, ¡°Good, Zhao Yao¡¯s focused on the alien cats and won¡¯t be bothered with us.¡±

    Ares exhaled gently and said, ¡°Oh, we are safe. Zhao Yao seems to have forgotten about us.¡±

    Roly Poly nced at Matcha and said teasingly, ¡°Matcha, your new hairstyle¡¯s hrious.¡±

    Matcha red at Roly Poly and said, ¡°What do you know? I made my hair look like an adult.¡±

    Diana nced at Elizabeth and said proudly, ¡°Sister, what do you think of my superpower after my evolution?¡±

    Elizabeth giggled and said, ¡°Your superpower is powerful but the wheel of fortune is always turning. There are still many days ahead of us. Be careful not to fall out of Zhao Yao¡¯s favor.¡±

    Diana smiled and said, ¡°How true. You used to be carried in Zhao Yao¡¯s arms but recently he hadn¡¯t upgraded your levels.¡± She licked Elizabeth¡¯s pigtails on her body as she said with sympathy, ¡°It¡¯s such a pity to tie up your beautiful fur.¡±

    Elizabeth squinted her eyes and said angrily, ¡°Diana, what do you mean?¡±

    Diana swept her tail and said grimly, ¡°Don¡¯t be rude. I¡¯m your older sister and you should call me sister instead of my name.¡±

    After Roly Poly squabbled with Matcha, he sprawled on the ground like a meditating monk and thought happily, ¡°Hehehehe, I have aplished a heroic feat single-handedly this time.¡±

    Project X said, ¡°If I were you, I would have used this opportunity for Zhao Yao to perish together with Maria. Then I would take over the superpowers of the two hundred supercats.¡±

    ¡°Fool.¡± Roly Poly sneered and said, ¡°You don¡¯t understand much. You are always thinking of winning and bing number one. That¡¯s the reason you failed.¡±

    Project X said, ¡°The way of the strong is filled with loneliness.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯ve read too manyics,¡± Roly Poly said condescendingly. ¡°Stop acting like a kid when you are already so old.¡±

    Project X was unable to rebuke as he had indeed read too manyics after waking up in the Americanboratory.

    Seeing Project X silent, Roly Poly said excitedly, ¡°Look at yourself. You are uncultured and uneducated about organization and leadership. What¡¯s the use of more superpowers? Eventually, there¡¯ll be other superpowers that can defeat you.¡±

    Roly Poly swept his tail energetically as he said, ¡°As a lone ranger with many superpowers and subjected to daily sieges and ambushes, you¡¯ll be defeated one day.

    Look at Zhao Yao¡¯s organization with its many supercats. He¡¯s not worried about sneak attacks as there are cats shielding him. When things need to be done, he has a cat doing them for him. Because I informed Zhao Yao about Maria, instead of herunching a sneak attack, Zhao Yao turned the tables against her.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s that? Project X, do you understand what I¡¯m saying?¡±

    ¡°Hey? Is your autism acting up again?¡±

    After a while, Project X asked moodily, ¡°What books do you rmend that I read?¡±

    ¡°Yes, of course,¡± Roly Poly said. ¡°Human literature is very useful. For example, ¡°How to Win Friends and Influence People¡±, ¡°Awaken the Giant within¡±, ¡°Inspire Your Potential¡±, ¡°The Laws of Spirit: A Tale of Transformation¡±, ¡°How to Train a Human¡± are all good books! When I return to Cat Ind, I¡¯ll get more books for you to read. You have to be a cultured cat. Don¡¯t be violent and always think of killing¡­¡±

    Bam! Roly Poly felt a sharp pain on his head. He lifted his head and saw a smashed bugging device on his head.

    He looked at Zhao Yao and saw Zhao Yao gazing coldly at him, his face devoid of emotion and in a state of calm.

    Roly Poly fell to the ground with a loud bang and rolled to Zhao Yao¡¯s feet. ¡°Meow! What are you doing Zhao Yao? It¡¯s very painful.¡±

    ¡°If you had not aplished such a meritorious feat, I would have smashed your brain open.¡±

    Roly Poly was terrified and his body trembled as heughed and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, you¡¯re joking. You¡¯re so funny!¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at Roly Poly and gazed at Maria, who was asleep on the sofa as he pondered over his n.

    He shouted abruptly, ¡°Caesar, she¡¯s in her dreams, you should¡­¡± Zhao Yao looked at the time on his watch and said, ¡°Erase her memories over the past 2 hours and 43 minutes.¡±

    ¡°Great!¡± Caesar responded and leaped on Maria¡¯s body. ¡°Finally, it¡¯s my turn to act.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Matcha and the supercats and said, ¡°All of you get out. Leave me alone.¡±

    Matcha and the supercats quickly ran outside and waited outside as they peeped curiously at the office.

    Zhao Yao dissipated into wisps of smoke as he slipped into Maria¡¯s dreamscape.

    ...

    Maria awoke on the sofa and gaped at Cat Wondend¡¯s main door.

    ¡°Doesn¡¯t it feel like a long time?¡±

    Maria had lost her memories of entering the Cat Wondend. She hesitated for a while before entering Cat Wondend.

    Then she met Zhao Yao, who had resisted her capture and she controlled him using her superpower. Zhao Yao¡¯s enemies happened to appear at the same time and shot him to death.

    Maria shook her head and left Cat Wondend. She hurried to the airport and informed her twopanions to meet at the airport.

    Zhao Yao carefully synchronized Maria¡¯s movement, location and what she saw and heard in both dreamscape and reality. As Maria stood at the entrance of the subway, Zhao Yao dispelled her dreamscape gradually. He heaved in relief after she stepped into the subway and disappeared from his view.

    ¡°I guess the problem¡¯s solved. I¡¯ll wait until Diana has fully evolved and can do what she wants in Closers World or travel in the Awareness Dimension with ease, then I¡¯ll deal with the alien cats.¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought, ¡°I¡¯ll fake my death and it has to be authentic.¡±

    ¡°Perhaps I¡¯ll construct my tomb.¡±

    ...

    Giggle lifted his head and said, ¡°Dead?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Maria said, ¡°Apologies boss, it¡¯s my fault. After controlling Zhao Yao, I didn¡¯t protect him and he was shot down by his enemies.¡±

    Giggle was doubtful and scanned Maria¡¯s awareness to ensure that she was not lying. He nodded and said, ¡°Understood. You may go now.¡±

    Giggle felt strange about Zhao Yao¡¯s death and decided to send another group to investigate Zhao Yao¡¯s death.

    ...

    After listening to Bai Quan¡¯s exnation, everyone was shocked.

    ¡°Zhao Yao¡¯s dead?!¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao¡¯s finally dead!¡±

    ¡°I told you he would have an early death!¡±

    ¡°Hahahahaha!¡±

    In the Cat Wondend¡¯s kitchen, after listening to news of Zhao Yao¡¯s death, the Ivory apostles Midnight and Lang Gou hugged each other excitedly, their eyes full of happy tears.

    Besides them, there was also Matsuo, who hade from Japan to set up his business in Jianghai but had encountered the notorious Zhao Yao and had had to close down his business and be in Zhao Yao¡¯s debt. He knelt on the ground and felt a sense of relief. ¡°Finally... finally I don¡¯t have to repay my debt! There¡¯s hope in my pathetic life!¡±

    Beside Matsuo was the youth, Faceless, who came from the northwestern region of China. He created the Mao Gang and started an enterprise dealing with supercats and immigration. He eximed, ¡°My God! You¡¯ve finally served justice!¡±

    Midnight took a bottle of champagne, shook it and popped it open. He sprayed the champagne as heughed heartily. ¡°We are finally free!¡±

    Lang Gou, Matsuo and Faceless indulged happily in the champagne shower. Lang Gou took off his waiter¡¯s uniform and said, ¡°Zhao Yao! I¡¯m no longer your ve!¡±

    Matsuo and Facelessughed loudly as they took off their uniforms. ¡°We are free!¡±

    Looking at them running around happily, Bai Quan shook his head with pity and could not help covering his eyes.

    Zhao Yao slowly walked out behind Bai Quan and looked at the group of liberated ves and said gravely, ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    The time slowed to a halt as Midnight and the rest put their uniforms back on and bowed to Zhao Yao as they said, ¡°Sorry! Our bad!¡±

    Zhao Yao looked very glum as he shook his head. ¡°You¡¯ve disappointed me. You¡¯re so happy after hearing of my death. Who would believe that I¡¯m dead? From now on, you¡¯ll work in the Extradimensional Belly instead of Cat Wondend.¡±

    Midnight said, ¡°But... but we can¡¯t prepare meals in the Extradimensional Belly.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°I¡¯ll bring the kitchen in and set up a Dimension Portal. You¡¯ll put the dishes at the portal entrance and I¡¯ll assign someone to deliver them here.¡±

    Midnight and hispanions were crestfallen as Zhao Yao brought Bai Quan to another huge ballroom.

    All the supercats were gathered in this ballroom.

    Matcha stood on the stage and said, ¡°Everyone, please stay silent.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m announcing big news.¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao¡¯s going on a long vacation. All of Cat Wondend will be managed by me...¡±

    Matcha abruptly froze as he felt a strong wave of murderous intent and trembled. He knew that Zhao Yao was watching him covertly and he changed his tune. ¡°Wrong... Cat Wondend will be managed by Bai Quan...¡±

    This was Zhao Yao¡¯s n after much consideration. With his power and identity, it would be too unbelievable to announce his death. He intended to announce his vacation n and a recement manager as this was what a superpower organization would do to hide the death of their leader.

    The supercats had to continue working in the Cat Wondend to provide Zhao Yao with the monthly lottery chances and experience points. These silly cats were too innocent to pretend that Zhao Yao was dead and they would use the chance to create trouble.

    Zhao Yao decided to hide his fake death with news of his vacation.

    The supercats cheered when they heard the news.

    ¡°Yeah! Zhao Yao¡¯s gone!¡±

    ¡°Hahahaha, it¡¯s best if he neveres back!¡±

    ¡°I feel my fur getting shinier.¡±

    ¡°I want canned food everyday!¡±

    Zhao Yao looked glumly at the mass cheering. He gazed at Bai Quan and said, ¡°Remember those who cheered loudest. Their work attitude are questionable. You have to supervise them closely.¡±

    Bai Quan smiled as he nodded. ¡°I understand.¡±

    Half an hourter, Matcha, Roly Poly, Ares and the supercats who were on close terms with or contracted tbyo Zhao Yao, followed him as they entered the Dimension Portal into the Extradimensional Belly.

    These supercats knew about Zhao Yao¡¯s situation. To prevent them from leaking the truth, he was settling them in the Extradimensional Belly and he barred them from work.

    Zhao Yao made other arrangements like letting Bai Quan handle the exnation to the outside world about his long vacation and making him the only point of contact between Zhao Yao and the rest of the people.

    Zhao Yao would also leave some evidence of his death by providing illusions and dreams to people so that their memories would reinforce his fake death.

    ¡°Almost done.¡±

    Zhao Yao returned to his Cat Ind vi andy down in fatigue. ¡°If someone were to investigate the truth, they would suspect that I¡¯m already dead.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll stay on Cat Ind to y the online game and help Diana evolve faster.¡±

    Sitting on the sofa of the Cat Ind vi, Zhao Yao did not use the game visor. He wanted to use Diana¡¯s superpower to enter Closers World.

    After thinking for a while, he stopped and put on Cheese¡¯s Cloak. He flew into the clouds instantly.

    ¡°I can¡¯t use my previous ount as it will unravel my fake death.¡±

    ¡°Though I don¡¯t know whether they can discover mynding location if I use my superpower tond at different locations before going online, they won¡¯t be able to find my real location.¡±

    Zhao Yao flew at supersonic speed and arrived in Seoul, South Korea. Hey down a Dimension Portal and flew to Moscow where hey down another Dimension Portal.

    After Dust Ball¡¯stest level upgrade, she had five Dimension Portal at her disposal.

    There was one on Cat Ind and one on Cat Wondend. Zhao Yao had used two portals today, leaving one for urgent use.

    ¡°Hmm, I¡¯ll use the global portals to enter Closers World.¡±

    Zhao Yao used the Dimension Portal to return to Cat Ind and put Cheese back. Then he used the Dimension Portal and returned to Moscow, where he headed more than ten kilometers north. He had prepared his game visor, new identity, new mobile number and created a new ount.

    Zhao Yao prepared a new mission. He would use Diana¡¯s superpower to ess the new ount.

    ¡°I won¡¯t use my previous ount. I¡¯ll use this new ount to create trouble.¡±

    After essing the game, it was time for Zhao Yao to create his game avatar.

    Zhao Yao studied the avatar system and started creating his avatar¡¯s face seriously.

    ¡°To increase my profile, appearance is very important.¡± Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Either the face has to be shockingly handsome or disgustingly ugly.¡±

    Half an hourter, Zhao Yao gave up on making a handsome face.

    ¡°It¡¯s too difficult and almost impossible!¡± Zhao Yao was dejected. ¡°To make my real life face even more handsome is impossible.¡±

    Zhao Yao was not satisfied no matter how he crafted the face and he realized that to create an extraordinary handsome face with asting impression was harder than he thought.

    It was too easy to make handsome avatar faces and anyone of those faces would be a super handsome guy in real life. People would get sick of handsome faces and they would not givesting impression.

    Zhao Yao shook his head and followed his whims. ¡°I¡¯ll make the face ugly and create asting and unforgettable impression. Hmm... perhaps I could copy a celebrity¡¯s face.¡±

    Half an hourter, Zhao Yao admired his familiar avatar face which was disdainful, with open mouth and a fearful brow. ¡°Eat s*it¡± was his automatic reaction to his creation.

    ¡°Perfect. This is done. Giving it a name is thest item on my list.¡±

    Zhao Yao lifted his head and saw that his name was nk. He used Diana¡¯s superpower and discovered that he could change the name.

    ¡°What¡¯s my name going to be?¡±

    ¡°Of course, it¡¯s this!¡±

    Zhao Yao typed in the name ¡°Choke on S*it¡± excitedly but the name was already taken.

    ¡°This is frustrating!¡±

    Zhao Yao did not give up and tried different variations... all were already taken.

    ¡°D*mn, the game yers like this s*itty stuff. I can¡¯t believe they¡¯re all taken up.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought for a while and tried ¡°Eat S*it¡± and it was sessful.

    After Zhao Yao hadnded in the Hundred Beasts College in the Beginner¡¯s Vige, he exited the game immediately. Then he used Diana¡¯s superpower to ess the game.

    As expected, his ount showed ¡°Eat S*it¡±.

    He wanted to see if he could change things like in a normal dreamscape, something like a sh with 99 levels.

    As he was about to make changes in the game, he felt a sense of danger and stopped.

    ¡°Diana¡¯s superpower is not strong enough. I¡¯ve to follow Closers World¡¯s rules. I can¡¯t control the game in the way that I control dreamscape.¡±

    ¡°I cannot do much more than an ordinary yer. I have to follow the rules most of the time.¡±

    ¡°When I¡¯m able to control and destroy Closers World, I should be able to defeat the alien cats.¡±

    Zhao Yao understood that the alien cats had created a sturdy Closers World, otherwise it would not be able to withstand the violent and chaotic nature of the Awareness Dimension.

    Diana¡¯s several evolutions only allowed small intrusions into Closers World aspared to full control of dreamscapes. Dreamscapes of normal people were weak and full of holes so they could not bepared to the Closers World.

    Zhao Yao looked at his new name and face with satisfaction. He tested the basic functions and embarked on his newbie¡¯s mission happily. He intended to umte energy for Diana¡¯s evolution.

    ...

    Outside the Beginner¡¯s Vige, Tom and his friends were training with a toy poodle. He looked asionally at the clear sky. ¡°Finally, we are not harassed by that scumbag. We can now train in peace.¡±

    After killing the toy poodle with a blow, Tom said to his friends, ¡°I¡¯vepleted my mission. What about you? Let¡¯s return to submit thepleted mission.¡±

    As they returned to the Hundred Beasts College, they saw a group of people running around as if they were chasing after something.

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°What are they chasing?¡±

    ¡°Are they fighting against a Boss?¡±

    As Tom was puzzled, a team member patted his shoulders and pointed at a nearby figure. ¡°That... seems to be the master trainer to whom we are supposed to submit our missions...¡±

    Zhao Yao was running around in the safe area of the Beginner¡¯s Vige. The master trainer was tied up and dragged noisily behind Zhao Yao.

    The group of yers who wanted to submit their missions chased after Zhao Yao. A few fast yers managed to close in on the master trainer but Zhao Yao flung out the master trainer like a morningstar.

    ¡°Be careful!¡±

    ¡°No fear! I¡¯ll kill the master trainer so that he¡¯ll revive!¡±

    ¡°No! I¡¯m saying the master trainer...¡±

    The swords of the master trainer and the game yer shed and the game yer¡¯s sword broke into pieces. The game yer was sent flying out.

    ¡°The attack power of the master trainer is very strong! Don¡¯t use brute force on him!¡±

    Every game yer gazed at the master trainer in Zhao Yao¡¯s hands. They wanted to rob him of the master trainer so that they could use the master trainer themselves. Zhao Yao flung out the master trainer, who attacked the yers till they fled and dodged. Then Zhao Yao bolted off again.

    Seeing the chaos in the Beginner¡¯s Vige, Tom covered his chest and felt very tired. ¡°This virtual game... this virtual game yer...¡±

    Tom looked at the receding master trainer and exited the game immediately. He ran to Giggle and said angrily, ¡°Why is the master trainer so strong? Someone used the master trainer to destroy other game yer¡¯s equipment!¡±

    Giggle said, ¡°The master trainer is in charge of half of the missions in the Beginner¡¯s Vige. I made him invincible so that he can¡¯t be killed. He may look like an ordinary character but he¡¯s equipped with a magical sword that does 3000 damage. Did a game yer discover that?¡±

    Giggle thought that finally a game yer had understood his thoughts and the game system so he felt a sense of connection.

    Tom hugged his head and swung his head wildly as he shouted in rage, ¡°What a magical weapon! Think of a way. I can¡¯t submit my missions!¡±

    ¡°Okay, don¡¯t worry.¡± Giggle said, ¡°After the master trainer was abducted, a new NPC reced his position. Submit your missions to him.¡±

    The game yers found that a new NPC had reced that previous master trainer. yers who chased after Zhao Yao dwindled and his evolution progress stalled.

    ¡°It¡¯s getting difficult.¡± Zhao Yao looked at the Book¡¯s progress bar and felt disheartened. ¡°There¡¯s no World Horn. The requirement for Level 13 is much higher than before. To depend on the game yers for the evolution requirement is too slow.¡±

    If he challenged the Commerce City dungeon again, he would need money. When he charged his ount, they might discover his actual identity.

    ¡°Seems like I¡¯ll have to take it slowly and depend on word of mouth to increase my profile.¡±

    ...

    Half a monthter, on a snowy ins, a group of yers surrounded a huge Samoyed and attacked him.

    ¡°Buck up everyone! The Boss is falling!¡±

    A few hundred meters from the Boss, a group of unaffiliated yers looked unhappily at the Boss. The yers in front of them were guild yers.

    ¡°What¡¯s there to see! This Boss is reserved for our guild.¡±

    ¡°Who dares topete with us for the Boss? We¡¯ll kill you until you yield!¡±

    A girl said softly, ¡°Come and take a look! The Boss is in his final segment of health points! He¡¯s falling! I wonder what¡¯s his treasure.¡±

    This girl was a broadcaster who yed Closers World and was doing a live stream.

    Suddenly she screamed and shouted, ¡°Eat S*it!¡±

    A yer charged towards Boss with his hands wielding the master trainer. He broke the game yers¡¯ weapons along the way as he shouted, ¡°Eat s*it, all of you!¡±

    Diana¡¯s superpower was activated and numerous yers froze as they vanished after shing light rays. They had been kicked out of the game.

    The remaining guild yers were unable to fend off the Boss¡¯ attacks and were destroyed.

    In the live streamments, Zhao Yao fled without killing the Boss.

    Hidden in a cave, Zhao Yao studied his Book¡¯s progress bar and thought, ¡°Diana¡¯s about to evolve. It¡¯s the right decision to follow the popr broadcaster.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the progress bar with anticipation as it increased modestly towards the finishing point.

    During this period of time, he went online for 18 hours daily to train. He even skipped the end of the month ounting for Cat Wondend.

    He trained daily and followed various broadcasters. Finally, Diana was able to evolve today.

    The progress bar was filled and Diana evolved to Level 14. Her physical immunity factor increased to 50% while the power-up factor increased to 140%.

    Diana was able to do more things in Closers World after her awareness power became stronger.

    Besides entering Closers World at will and kicking yers out of the game, she had more functions in the game.

    ...

    Two dayster, Tom grabbed Giggle tightly and meowed incessantly. ¡°Giggle! You can¡¯t close your eyes to these sins! Especially that Eat S*it yer! He polluted the game environment with his evil deeds. If you don¡¯t care, all the yers will quit ying!¡±

    Giggle¡¯s eyes glimmered as this yer reminded him of Zhao Yao.

    He sent people to Jianghai to investigate Zhao Yao¡¯s death and they confirmed it. They also discovered that Zhao Yao¡¯s subordinates were trying to hide the news and consolidate their positions.

    ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s him. There are too many annoying Earthlings.¡± Giggle said, ¡°You¡¯re graduating from the Beginner¡¯s Vige, don¡¯t bother about him.¡±

    ¡°No! You don¡¯t understand! He found a loophole! He can kick yers offline!¡±

    Giggleughed mockingly and said, ¡°Are you silly? I created Closers World, how could there be a loophole?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a fact! Check it yourself.¡±

    Giggle said reluctantly, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll check it.¡± Giggle was doubtful.

    Tom said, ¡°You¡¯ve got to capture him!¡±

    Giggle ordered Apple to cote information about the offender and he was surprised by the results.

    ¡°Can¡¯t be found?¡± Giggle frowned. ¡°You can¡¯t find his IP address and equipment identifier...¡±

    ¡°We can¡¯t find any traces. He¡¯s like... like a spirit in Closers World. We can¡¯t find where he came from and yers in contact with him were asionally kicked off-line.¡±

    Giggle¡¯s eyes emitted cold rays. ¡°Someone intruded in Closers World?¡±

    Closers World was his important creation on Earth as it was used to increase his Awareness Dimension¡¯s energy. It was closely rted to his power upgrade and his status in his tribe.

    Giggle entered Closers World to locate the intruder¡¯s location.

    He used the premium ount of 24 Closer pets which were at Level 100. This was the backdoor he created for himself.

    He also had administrative rights which included locating targets, teleportation, direct killing, duplication and creation of equipment.

    Though he was unable to modify the structure of Closers World, he was able to do almost anything inside including using his awareness to attack, locate, and control his opponents.

    Giggle took out the online yers¡¯ list and found ¡°Eat S*it¡±. Giggle teleported to his location.

    Zhao Yao saw Giggle appear withvish equipment and his back was equipped with ten pairs of wings. His sword, which was 40 meters of length, was hanging by his waist. Zhao Yao asked curiously, ¡°GM?¡±

    Zhao Yao felt a sense of danger and his heartbeat quickened. His hair stood on end and his instincts were screaming at him to run.

    Giggle looked at Zhao Yao as he activated his superpower to control Zhao Yao¡¯s awareness. Giggle asked, ¡°Why are you able to kick yers offline?¡±

    Hearing Giggle¡¯s words, Zhao Yao felt a wave of malevolenceing in his direction as if he was trying to get into his mind and control his awareness.

    Zhao Yao had upgraded Diana to Level 14 so he was able to ess Closers World with ease, unlike the previous time when he was helpless and kicked offline by Giggle.

    As Giggle was about to control Zhao Yao¡¯s awareness, Zhao Yao shed and vanished before Giggle.

    This was one of the teleportation superpowers he attained when Diana evolved to Level 14.

    This proved that Diana¡¯s superpower had improved and she was able to gradually do things in Closers World which she could do in dreamscapes.

    Giggle was stunned and examined the status of ¡°Eat S*it¡± in the yers¡¯ list. He became grim. ¡°Teleportation?¡±

    Giggle shed and went in pursuit. Just as he saw Zhao Yao¡¯s back, Zhao Yao had vanished once again.

    Giggle¡¯s eyes emitted malicious cold rays. There was someone who could teleport in Closers World. This proved that he had intruded deeply into Closers World.

    ¡°You¡¯re tired of living...¡±

    Giggle looked at Zhao Yao¡¯s status which indicated he was going offline. Giggle immediately chased after him as he activated his awareness attack. He wanted to pursue him all the way from Closers World to the material realm.

    As Zhao Yao felt Giggle¡¯s awareness surrounding him, he immediately stopped going offline and his mind raced to find solutions.

    ¡°With his powerful control of awareness, his ability to travel in the Awareness Dimension and Earth, his ability to create a sturdy Closers World, if I go offline, he will be able to pursue me in the material realm. I can¡¯t take this risk...¡±

    Zhao Yao understood that once he was captured in the material realm, he would be finished.

    Zhao Yao stopped goin offline. He shed and vanished again.

    ¡°Fleeing...¡± Giggle sneered and pursued. At the same time, he calcted their distances. ¡°His awareness power has improved but is still inferior to mine. After five teleports, I¡¯m able to capture him.¡±

    Both of them shed like lightning in Closers World. Giggle¡¯s awareness surrounded Zhao Yao gradually as he wanted to control Zhao Yaopletely.

    Though Zhao Yao was able to resist, Giggle was closing on him like a huge palm squeezing on him.

    ¡°I can¡¯t flee for long...¡± Zhao Yao kept his wits. ¡°If this continues, after five teleports in normal circumstances, I¡¯ll be captured... I¡¯m able tost for half an hour... I still have to think of a way...¡±

    Zhao Yao appeared at a training area and with Giggle¡¯s appearance, Zhao Yao vanished again.

    A group of yers gaped at the abrupt appearance and vanishing of Zhao Yao and Giggle. They started talking wildly.

    ¡°Which of youmented on the strange events?¡±

    ¡°Can wement on the strange events?¡±

    Diana became grim. She was able to see more things than normal yers.

    She was so terrified by Giggle¡¯s powerful awareness that she fell to the ground and curled up immobilized like a normal cat.

    Like a small fish that bumped into a huge shark, terror overwhelmed all her body cells. Her awareness was suppressed by fear and she was unable to exert control.

    ¡°That... what¡¯s that thing...¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s Zhao Yao being pursued...¡±

    ¡°Is that the alien cat?¡±

    Seeing Zhao Yao vanish, Diana gradually recovered from her fear. ¡°Has Zhao Yao been discovered? What should I do? What should I do?¡±

    Diana panicked and pondered. She came to the group chat and informed everyone about Zhao Yao.

    Matcha was the first to respond as he said, ¡°Did you see clearly? Is that the alien cat?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Diana said, ¡°I felt a terrifying awareness power which was the strongest that I have encountered in my life. It must be the alien cat.¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°Zhao Yao did not appear before you as a coincidence. He was thinking of letting you inform us. You are the only one able to identify the alien cat.¡±

    Diana said, ¡°Why didn¡¯t he send out Wechat messages?¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°It would be easily intercepted by the gamepany if he sent messages in Closers World. Then we would be discovered in the material realm. Let¡¯s not bother about this...¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°Did he discuss with you how to deal with the alien cats? With Zhao Yao¡¯s cautious nature, wouldn¡¯t he have preparations?¡±

    Diana calmed down and thought, ¡°Matcha¡¯s bing more serious and he feels more dependable.¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°Diana? Are you there?¡±

    Diana recovered herself and said, ¡°Yes... yes, Zhao Yao said that if we are discovered in Closers World, we have to go offline immediately but Zhao Yao didn¡¯t go offline yet.¡±

    Roly Poly appeared in the group chat and he responded, ¡°That meant he was unable to go offline. I don¡¯t understand much about the awareness and dreamscape stuff. Is it possible that Zhao Yao can be tracked to the material realm during the process of going offline?¡±

    ¡°If the difference in power of awareness is too big, it is possible that the alien cat can follow Zhao Yao back to reality,¡± Diana said. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, Zhao Yao will not be able to go offline... What... what should we do?¡±

    Matcha asked, ¡°Did Zhao Yao mention of other ways of dealing with the alien cat?¡±

    ¡°No... nothing,¡± Diana said anxiously. ¡°He said he was thinking of a solution but he didn¡¯t tell me anything. What should we do? If he¡¯s captured, everything¡¯s finished.¡±

    Roly Poly said, ¡°Don¡¯t panic. Zhao Yao must have a reason for wanting you to inform us. We¡¯re still able to help him. Did he leave any clues? Zhao Yao¡¯s a scheming guy. He must have made some preparations.¡±

    ...

    Giggle continued pursuing Zhao Yao. With every teleportation, his awareness gradually surrounded Zhao Yao.

    At the fifth teleportation, as Giggle expected, he had already locked onto Zhao Yao.

    ¡°I got you...¡± In the next instance, he felt Zhao Yao exiting Closers World.

    ¡°Humph, just as well. I¡¯ll find your location in the material realm.¡±

    Giggle¡¯s vision became dark and bright as he appeared on a bustling street.

    ¡°He¡¯s here!¡±

    Up in the sky, above the bustling city, Giggle transformed into his cat form. His eyes swept the streets and locked on a condominium based on his awareness. Within the condominium was a middle-aged manying on a bed wearing a game visor.

    ¡°It¡¯s you!¡± Giggle shed and appeared above the man. He sneered at the sleeping man and attacked with his awareness. Giggle frowned.

    ¡°No... it¡¯s not him...¡± He lifted his head. ¡°This is...¡±

    He emitted violent power of awareness from his body and the world around him disintegrated and vanished.

    ¡°Dream within dream?¡± Giggle said. ¡°Entering from Closers World¡¯s dream into the realm of dreams within dreams? A genius idea but you thought I couldn¡¯t distinguish between reality and a dreamscape?¡±

    ¡°I can destroy such amon dreamscape with ease.¡±

    Giggle swept the power of his awareness around like a violent storm. The streets, sky, and ground disintegrated, showing scenes of Closers World.

    Zhao Yao immediately shed and vanished after his dreamscape was destroyed.

    Giggle chased after him. They shed and appeared in the sky above the Beginner¡¯s Vige. Zhao Yao was frozen up in mid-air as he was immobilized.

    Giggle floated over and gazed at the controlled Zhao Yao. He smiled and said, ¡°Who are you? Why are you able to ess the Awareness Dimension¡¯s energy?¡±

    Zhao Yao went into a daze and said, ¡°Don¡¯t you know who I am? You did unscrupulous things on this. You thought nobody would find out?¡±

    The words were ambiguous but Giggle created Closers World without his tribe knowing. After Zhao Yao¡¯s words, Giggle was agitated and he started imagining a lot of things.

    ¡°Are you from our Mother? Who sent you to spy on me? The Sacred Hall? Long Fur Tribe? Or the Short Fur Tribe?¡± Giggle looked at Zhao Yao grimly and said, ¡°No, they¡¯ve no reason to spy on me. Are you from the Furless tribe? That guy was afraid I might grow stronger and return for revenge?

    Yes, that must be it. With my talent and potential, they saw me as a thorn in the flesh and wanted me dead.¡±

    Giggle gazed at Zhao Yao as he overwhelmed Zhao Yao with his awareness and shouted, ¡°Confess! Are you from the Furless Tribe?¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed loudly and said forcefully, ¡°Since you know who I am, release me immediately. Do you think there¡¯s hope left after your deeds are exposed? Release me and repent so that I can plead leniency for you!¡±

    Giggle was glum and frowned. ¡°No.¡± He looked at the Beginner¡¯s Vige below and sensed with his power of awareness. He found something amiss.

    ¡°Dream within dream again?¡± Giggle recovered himself. The previous reality was the first dream within dream to trick him back to the material world.

    After he destroyed that dreamscape, he entered another dreamscape that looked like Closers World.

    As both were dreamscapes, unlike the huge differences between reality and a dreamscape, Giggle did not discover the difference.

    ¡°You are a genius to use consecutive dreams within dreams...¡± Giggleughed and destroyed the dreamscape again. He appeared in the wild ins of Closers World.

    Zhao Yao shed and vanished but Giggle did not pursue him. Instead, he probed the environment carefully to ensure that it was the real Closers World.

    ¡°I am back to the real Closers World.¡± Giggle pulled out the yers¡¯ list furiously and pursued Zhao Yao.

    Giggle entered more and more dreams within dreams. Though Zhao Yao¡¯s power of awareness was inferior to Giggle¡¯s, he had a strong understanding of dreamscapes and he used psychological blindspots in the dreamscape to avoid capture.

    ¡°You¡¯re not going tost long.¡± Giggle¡¯s speed in unraveling dreamscapes was getting faster and faster as his power of awareness was superior. Zhao Yao was running out of ideas and after several attempts, Giggle could break through the dreamscapes in an instant.

    As Giggle was about to capture Zhao Yao, the world became dark... then light. All the yers vanished, including Zhao Yao.

    ¡°This...¡± Giggle exited the game and contacted the gamepany. He found out that a ckout had caused Closers World¡¯s server to shut down.

    Though Closers World was a dreamscape, Giggle chose to use Earth¡¯s technology to facilitate Earthlings in entering the dreamscape.

    The shutting down of the servers caused the malfunctioning of Closers World.

    Zhao Yao took the opportunity to get offline.

    ¡°D*mn.¡± Giggle bared his teeth. ¡°He must have done this. Did hispanions attack the server room?¡±

    Giggle recovered himself as Tom ran over and shouted, ¡°What¡¯s happening, Giggle? Why is the game under maintenance?¡±

    Giggle said, ¡°An unknown person or cat did it and he had control of the Awareness Dimension¡¯s energy.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Tom said, ¡°Is there such a genius in the natives on this?¡±

    ¡°So what if he¡¯s a genius?¡± Giggle said coldly. ¡°It¡¯s his bad luck after meeting us. I¡¯ll capture him next time he appears.¡±

    Giggle underestimated his opponent and did not put in all his efforts in defending himself so he was tricked many times. He also did not protect the server room in the material world.

    He looked down on the Earth¡¯s natives but he was going to watch Closers World carefully. He was also going to protect the gamepany and the server room. He would capture the intruder next time.

    ...

    On Cat Ind, Zhao Yaoy on the ground and massaged his brows.

    Matcha was by his side as he asked with concern, ¡°Zhao Yao? Are you alright?¡±

    ¡°I overexerted myself. I¡¯ll be fine after a rest.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes were filled with red veins as he said grimly, ¡°I¡¯m much weaker than the alien cat. If you hadn¡¯t pulled the plug, I would have been captured by him.¡±

    Matcha heaved out of relief as Zhao Yao asked, ¡°How did youe up with pulling the plug?¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°You set up a Dimension Portal in their server room!¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled and looked at his Book.

    Mission: Escape from capture

    Mission Objective: Escape from the alien cat

    Reward: 70 000 experience points

    Mission Penalty: None

    Zhao Yao sighed in relief after seeing the reward of 70 000 experience points.

    ¡°With this month andst month¡¯s experience points... a second supercat is eligible to upgrade to Level 10. Get ready for evolution.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the panel on the Book. After the escape mission and the previous month¡¯s experience points, his Book showed Level 8 (181507/100000).

    With the 180 thousand experience points, Zhao Yao was able to upgrade a supercat to Level 10 and add the cat to the evolution module.

    He also obtained 67 lottery chances.

    Zhao Yao decided not use them as there was a week before the end of the month. He wanted to umte more experience points and lottery chances before using them.

    He needed a few days to n his next move. As he was discovered by the alien, he had to be extremely careful when he umted the energy for the evolution.

    ¡°In the worst scenario, the alien cat could put the yers¡¯ data under surveince to detect anomalies,¡± Zhao Yao postted. ¡°The yers with high profile and poprity would be investigated by the alien cat personally using his power of awareness.¡±

    ¡°I have to use n B.¡±

    As a man with backup ns, Zhao Yao already thought of ways to umte energy for evolution if he was discovered by the alien cat.

    Half an hourter, Zhao Yao used his new ount and walked into the Beginner¡¯s Vige. He transformed into a huge sprayer and sprayed on yers in sight. He attracted a lot of attention.

    ¡°Am I the only one who feels...¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no smoke without fire...¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m just babbling, don¡¯t be too uptight.¡±

    After half an hour of umting the energy for evolution, Zhao Yao went offline to create a new ount. He changed location in the material world and used the visor to enter Closers World.

    After a person with Awareness Dimension¡¯s power intruded Closers World, Giggle strengthened the defenses of the gamespany and the server room. He also assigned his men to supervise the yers¡¯ status.

    He was looking for IP addresses, anomalies in yers count, teleportation urrences andrge number of yers being kicked offline.

    Zhao Yao had considered these points so he changed his location in reality and changed his ounts. He acted like a normal yer to attract attention and work for evolution.

    Though it was slower, Giggle was unable to monitor small details like petty squabbles of yers.

    Zhao Yao changed his locations and ounts as he gathered the requirements for Diana¡¯s evolution.

    A week went by and Giggles did not find traces of Zhao Yao in the game. Zhao Yao umted energy for the evolution gradually as he waited for the end of the month¡¯s ounting.

    The only change was that there were moreining in the game and discussion board.

    ¡°The yers¡¯ web rage in the game had be more serious.¡±

    ¡°Quarrels arising from newbies are increasing.¡±

    ¡°I feel that there are more and more elementary students in the game.¡±

    Zhao Yao was waiting at home for the results of the end of month¡¯s ounting.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s Cat Wondend prospered during the days. Three years after the Awakening, supercats were gradually epted by society and not just relegated to urban myths. Cat Wondend, which was a converted shopping mall became a prominent food & entertainment center and helped Zhao Yao earnrge amounts of fortune.

    However, money was not his main goal. The experience points were his main goal.

    At the end of the month, Zhao Yao obtained 32 000 experience points from the supercats¡¯pletion of missions and the rewards for providing Michelin-starred cat meals. The Book¡¯s panel showed:

    BOOK:Level 8(213 507/100 000)

    Matcha Level 8(17 710/50 000)

    Elizabeth Level 9(11 500/100 000)

    Dust Ball Level 9(10 800/100 000)

    Ares Level 8 (10 800/50 000)

    Lucifer Level 8 (5900/50 000)

    Sphynx cat Level 7 (6900/20 000)

    Catherine Level 8 (5900/50 000)

    Diana Level 14

    Beside Diana, whose experience points were not shown, other supercats had umted arge amount of experience points.

    Zhao Yao decided to use his lottery chances to see what he could get before leveling up.

    He had umted 136 lottery chances from the previous two months. He got Red Packet and rubbed him hard as he prayed in his heart. ¡°Let me draw a super item that can kill the alien cat directly.¡±

    After sometime, Zhao Yao inhaled deeply and started his lottery draws. He used up all the chances at one go without looking at the results.

    He obtained tens of thousands of experience points, a few hundred Spicy Cat Strips and 17 Cat Prince Costume Fragments...

    Zhao Yao had a good draw and he collected 36/80 of the Cat Prince Costume fragments and plenty of Spicy Cat Strips.

    He did not draw legendary weapon like Dragon ying Saber or the Paralysis ring.

    But he obtained a special item.

    Improvement Stone: There is a certain chance of strengthening legendary weapon drawn from the lottery.

    After seeing the description of the Improvement Stone, he frowned. ¡°This looks familiar...¡±

    He decided to test out the Improvement Stone.

    He did not need to use any items to deal with the normal supercats on Earth.

    The effects of the Paralysis ring, Dragon ying Saber and the Titanium Dog Eye on the alien cats were small. If he used the Improvement Stone, he might get unexpected results.

    He decided to strengthen the Dragon ying Saber as it was the most powerful of the items.

    Zhao Yao took out the Dragon ying Saber from his neck and pped it on the Improvement Stone.

    A message went into his mind.

    Dragon ying Saber +1: If the target fails the Dragon ying verification, he is unable to use superpower for 20 seconds.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°The Forbidden Devil¡¯s duration improved from 10 seconds to 20 seconds? If I draw the Improvement Stone again, will it change the item¡¯s nature?¡±

    He only thought about it as he had used up his Improvement Stone.

    ¡°Who shall I level up out of the supercats?¡±

    Zhao Yao made his decision as he skimmed through the list of supercats.

    He awarded tens of thousands of experience points to Catherine and upgraded her to Level 10.

    Looking at the skill tree, Zhao Yao, who had six skill points, selected all the four new skills, making Catherine more powerful than before.

 Chapter 937: Selecting and Trying New Skills

    <h4>Chapter 937: Selecting and Trying New Skills</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    Zhao Yao chose 4 new skills as he upgraded Catherine from Level 9 to Level 10.

    The two Level 9 skills, Sleep Induction and Fear Induction, were enhanced by two times their original power. This was equivalent to a power of (Level)*2 seconds. Now, when Level 10 Catherine activated her abilities, the target would be subjected to 10*2 seconds of Sleep Induction and Fear Induction.

    The other effect would be a loss of rationality. Each time the skill was used on the target on the same day, the target¡¯s rationality would be decreased. In the worse case, the target would lose all their rationality and be a madman temporarily. The target would only recover from this effect after 24 hours.

    The Level 10 skills were the ones Zhao Yao had been waiting for. One of them was Retarded Admiration. After Fear Induction had ended, the target would admire you andpletely listen to yourmands for an hour.

    The other skill was Faceless Monster. After Fear Induction ended, the target would turn into a kind of faceless monster and attack all the living things around it for the next five minutes. The target would recover after five minutes.

    ¡°Catherine¡¯s abilities and controlling powers have be stronger,¡± Zhao Yao remarked. ¡°But there¡¯s no guarantee that she will be strong enough to fight against the alien cats.¡±

    After the previous fight, Zhao Yao could better understand the state of the alien cats¡¯ existence.

    They already had the ability to exist in a state of pure Awareness and had always remained within the Awareness Dimension. Furthermore, they could enter the body of another life form from the Awareness Dimension and control that body at anytime.

    In such a situation, most abilities would be unable to interfere with the Awareness Dimension and would thus be useless against it.

    Hence, Zhao Yao realized that if he wanted to defeat the alien cats, he would need to evolve his supercats so that they would attain the powers of the Awareness Dimension as well.

    After levelling up Catherine, Zhao Yao switched to the Evolution module and realized that he could evolve Catherine.

    Zhao Yao selected Catherine. He realized that once he had selected her, he would be able to see Catherine¡¯s evolution progress bar. The progress that he would subsequently attain in Closers World would also be transferred to Catherine¡¯s progress bar.

    ¡°Very good. I will continue to evolve Catherine and see what the effects will be.¡±

    Catherine and Diana had the powers of Sleep Induction and Dreamscape respectively. These were verypatible superpowers to begin with.

    This was also the reason why Zhao Yao chose to level up Catherine to Level 10 and evolve her first.

    Also, it would be easier and faster to evolve a Level 10 Catherine aspared to evolving a Level 14 Diana based on their progress bars. This made Zhao Yao even more excited about evolving Catherine.

    At that moment, Zhao Yao¡¯s ears twitched. The corners of his lips tugged up into a yful smile as he said, ¡°Are they here to probe? Just in time for me to try out this new ability.¡±

    ...

    In the foggy area beyond the Cat Ind, a small ship sailed slowly towards Cat Ind.

    There were four apostles on board. One of them was Lin Chen, one of the strongest apostles under Uncle Ho. He borrowed Cat King of the North¡¯s power of speed.

    The other three were apostles that even Lin Chen himself was not acquainted with. He only knew that they were from the military. They were probably ace apostles as well, secretly trained to fend against the Natural Disaster apostles of other countries. They probably came as part of their training in light of the increasingly frequent urrence of superpowers battles in international affairs. Hence, they were definitely a force to be reckoned with.

    Behind their small ship, ten other small ships followed, with hundreds of apostles on board.

    There was only one thing which so many of these government apostles came to the Cat Ind for. It was to confirm whether Zhao Yao was dead or alive.

    All sorts of information about how Zhao Yao had met with mishap and was totally closed off from the world, even from Uncle Ho, was being spread around.

    He even stopped going to Cat Wondend, as if he vanished from the surface of the Earth without a trace.

    Lin Chen said, ¡± Cat Ind is just ahead. Most of Zhao Yao¡¯s supercats stay on this Cat Ind. If we can¡¯t find him on the ind, something might have happened to him.¡±

    Beside Lin Chen, anky young man with a cold re and small eyes asked, ¡°If something had really happened to Zhao Yao, do you guys have any means of controlling this many supercats?¡±

    Lin Chen replied, ¡°Those supercats have been well-trained by Zhao Yao. They are pretty easy to get along with. If Zhao Yao wasn¡¯t around anymore, they would still be able to return to and integrate back into society peacefully to be normal supercats.¡±

    The cold-looking young man shook his head and said, ¡°Is this how Uncle Ho trained you guys to control the superpower realm of Jianghai? Everything is beyond our control. You guys indulge Zhao Yao too much. That¡¯s why the situation spun out of control now...

    ... Especially the supercats under him. Their ability to wreck a whole country is a threat to us. What if we lose control over them?¡±

    Lin Chen nced at the young man. He did not rebut the person as the other party was of a higher rank than him. However, he did not continue saying anything else as Zhao Yao¡¯s importance needed not be mentioned twice.

    The young man looked into the distant fog. He was not unaware of Zhao Yao¡¯s background, he just had a different view of Zhao Yao¡¯s powerspared to the rest who were equally concerned. He knew that Zhao Yao had immensely strong abilities and owned numerous supercats, yet even with such powers, Zhao Yao remained contented with his current state and led an idle life.

    In his eyes, the superpowers that Zhao Yao had were precious powers wasted on a man like him. The so-called ¡®Oriental Beacon¡¯ may be immensely strong, but to him, that man was merely an average person who had the fortune and luck of attaining all those powers. If he had the luck of that man, he would definitely have done a better job.

    ¡°If Zhao Yao really died or went missing...¡± The young man narrowed his eyes and thought, ¡°God knows how many people will be rushing for those supercats on Cat Ind.¡±

    This was the reason why he came on board to look for Zhao Yao as well. The possibility of being able to snatch a supercat was too tempting.

    Even though he despised Zhao Yao deep down, he was still very wary of Zhao Yao¡¯s powers. He knew that the other party was still stronger than him, hence he called Lin Chen along with him and brought so many apostles to find Zhao Yao in an official manner.

    ¡°ording to the avable data, even though there¡¯s still a gap between mine and Zhao Yao¡¯s powers, with so many ace apostles here, even Zhao Yao would not be able to defeat them without batting an eye. If we really provoked him on Cat Ind, our numbers would be enough for me to escape unscathed.¡±

    As the small ships sailed nearer to the Cat Ind, about to pass through the fog and enter...

    A light breeze suddenly swept across them, dissipating all the fog around them. In that instant, everyone could be seen.

    At the same time, the silhouette of a man¡¯s back appeared before everyone and said, ¡°Leave. You are not weed here.¡±

    Lin Chen¡¯s eyes lit up and asked the man, ¡°Zhao Yao, is that you? Why did you suddenly break off contact with us? Did something happen? We can help you.¡±

    The silhouette shook its head and slowly disappeared in the fog. ¡°Leave.¡±

    Leave... Leave... Leave...

    As the man¡¯s voice echoed throughout, the small ships started to reverse slowly as they were being pushed out by the waves.

    However, the young man leapt out in a split second and chased after the silhouette as he said, ¡°Wait.¡±

    As he flew out, the hundreds of apostles behind him followed suit, chasing after Zhao Yao.

    The young man Lin Chen brought with him came specially to find out about Zhao Yao¡¯s situation. It was impossible for them to simply turn back to Jianghai just because someone came up with some tricks to fend them off. That would have been equivalent to showing everyone that they were ipetent people.

    Hence, he wanted to stop the other party from leaving. The least they could do was to find out whether that man was really Zhao Yao or not.

    The young man and the hundreds of apostles under his lead emanated rays of brilliant light from their bodies, looking like miniature suns chasing after Zhao Yao.

    The fog was torn apart and the waves started to rumble. Cyclones started forming from their bodies and spread out in all directions.

    Lin Chen immediately covered his face with his arm as he felt the small ship rocking about in the turbulent waves, as if it would be overturned at any moment.

    He stared at the scene before him in shock as he thought, ¡°This is the ace apostles unit from the military. Are these apostles equipped with nuclear powers?¡±

    Nuclear power was originally a top military secret that was never allowed to be lent out to any apostle.

    Ever since the various countries started to train and develop Natural Disaster apostles, these apostles became a part of the military. Within the country, superhuman apostles like Zhao Yao appeared as well, hence, the authorities decided to utilize some of the supercats that had been kept under strict protection after they had been captured.

    The hundreds of apostles emanated rays of bright light like miniature suns. Gathered together, that terrifying force looked just like it was about to wipe out the whole world.

    ¡°Such formidable powers...¡± Lin Chen thought to himself. ¡°Each of them could be considered a mini nuclear weapon by themselves.¡±

    The young man led his men and walked up to Zhao Yao confidently. He believed that with such a great force, the real Zhao Yao would not be able to ignore their powers and treat them seriously.

    ¡°Since you don¡¯t want to leave, you will roll out of here.¡±

    The next moment, as the man¡¯s voice rang out in a disjointed manner, a huge, invisible hand seemed to sweep across the air gently.

    An apostle who was just radiating with brilliant rays of light immediately lost his mour as he turned back into a normal person and dropped back down.

    The hundreds of miniature suns in the sky seemed to have been blown out by the invisible huge hand. When Lin Chen put down his arm and looked back up to the battle scene, he only saw the hundreds of apostles copsing on the ground, as if they had been knocked unconscious.

    The fog slowly returned and enveloped all of them. The man who had spoken just now had disappeared, as if nothing ever happened.

    However, Lin Chen understood that an earth-shattering battle had actually taken ce. Although it happened in an instant, an apostle unit strong enough to conquer a small country had been easily defeated in an instant, with just a few words.

    ¡°Is that Zhao Yao? Did he use the power of Time Freeze?¡± Lin Chen thought. ¡°But after activating nuclear abilities, their bodies should have be extremely unstable bodies at high temperatures and high pressure. Normal attacks should have had no effect on them...¡±

    When the Sleep Induction ended after 20 seconds, Lin Chen realized that things were much moreplicated than he could have imagined.

    An apostle that had just passed out suddenly jumped up and stared in fear and started running out in all directions madly.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Lin Chen was shocked. With his power of Time eleration, his body shed a couple of times before he sessfully caught the apostle that was madly trying to escape.

    ¡°What happened to you guys?¡±

    ¡°Stop running around!¡±

    ¡°What are you all afraid of?¡±

    Lin Chen realized that no matter how many times he caught them, called them, and even attacked them, it had no effect in awakening them from their mad, irrational fear.

    Lin Chen grabbed the elbow of the young man who led the team. The young man continued to convulse uncontrobly in his limbs as he struggled and iled around madly. He even dislocated his shoulder and wailed as he ran away.

    Lin Chen was utterly shocked and confused by the scene before him. ¡°What exactly happened just now?¡±

    Just as Lin Chen thought they went mad, the 20 seconds of Fear Induction finally ended. One by one, the apostles finally broke free of the induced fear and stood on the spot. The trauma was still evident from the fear in their faces, and their eyelids continued to tremble involuntarily.

    Lin Chen asked the young man in front of him, ¡°What exactly is going on? What did you guys see? Why were you all so scared just now?¡±

    ¡°I... I don¡¯t know,¡± the young man rubbed his head as irrationality shed in his eyes. ¡°Stop asking! I don¡¯t know anything.¡±

    Lin Chen frowned. He felt that there was something wrong with the young man¡¯s mental state.

    In the midst of the fog, Zhao Yao, who had cast the illusion, walked past the apostles and observed their reactions to it.

    ¡°Hmm, loss of rationality... Does that mean bing more sensitive or more mentally unstable? Who knows what state they would be after they lose all rationality and be madmen.¡±

    At that moment, a shrilling scream was heard. Lin Chen turned towards the source of the sound and saw an apostle convulsing sporadically. The next thing he knew, the apostle opened his mouth and strands of cat fur grew out from within. In a sh, the cat fur had enveloped his bodypletely and his face turned into an opaque white.

    The apostle that had turned into a white monster started attacking the people around him.

    ¡°What is happening now?!¡± Lin Chen was aghast as he charged over in an instant. His shadow was like a bolt of lightning, instantly reaching the monster as he managed grab onto its arms. However, he immediately felt a huge force countering his power, a force that he was unable to suppress.

    Lin Chen could only release his hold and strike again, raining numerous blows on the monster and sting the monster away.

    As the monster flew out, Zhao Yao followed right beside it as he twitched his ears to listen to the biological changes taking ce in the monster¡¯s body.

    ¡°Its physical condition is actually just slightly over the maximum physical capabilities of a human, but it also has all sorts of immensely strong, unknown defensive powers that can resist various attacks. Interesting...¡±

    At that moment, a bestial roar was heard. Lin Chen turned and immediately frowned so hard his brows formed a straight line.

    Pandemonium broke out across the whole beach as the apostles tried to find ways to suppress the attacks from the apostles who had turned into Faceless Monsters. They could not kill them as these monsters were theirrades after all, so the only thing they could do was to try to stop and defend themselves from their attacks as much as possible.

    Looking at the chaos on the beach, Zhao Yao continued walking in the fog, observing the reactions of the apostles that had been attacked with Catherine¡¯s abilities.

    ¡°The rate of the targets turning into Faceless Monsters is around 10%. The detailed effects of the loss in rationality is not bad too. Their battle reaction and courage have been reduced as well.¡± Zhao Yao assessed the apostles quietly in his mind. ¡°As for the percentage with Retarded Admiration...¡±

    Right when the Fear Induction ended, Zhao Yao could immediately sense the abnormalities in some of the apostles at the scene. He slowly walked over to the young man who had been leading the apostles and said something to his ear.

    The young man trembled slightly. The next moment, the young man spontaneously drew a dagger from his side and raised it in the air, about to stab it right into his heart.

    However, right before the dagger prated his skin, Zhao Yao gently pressed on the dagger and said softly, ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡±

    Looking at the young man who stood rooted to the ground, not moving an inch at all, Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°He would even abide if I tell him tomit suicide? My superpowers are really quite scary.¡±

    After five minutes, the Faceless Monsters turned back into their original forms. The remaining apostles did not dare to continue staying at the ce. They supported theirrades and hastily escaped. Their impression of Cat Ind was now nothing but an extremely terrifying ce, a ce they would never want toe back to ever again for the rest of their lives.

    Up till the moment they left, no one actually really saw Zhao Yao in person, so they were unable to find out the current situation on Cat Ind.

    This prevented other people froming over to harass them on Cat Ind and affect their preparation for the battle with the alien cats...

    At 12am, the midnight of the same day, unbeknownst to anyone, Zhao Yao personally went to the capital city and met a person who was not to be named.

    After a long conversation deep in the night, both parties came to an agreement and ever since then, no government apostles ever came near Cat Ind.

    Next, Zhao Yao continued to umte experience points on his own, collecting items from the rewards roulette and amassing the power to face off the alien cats bit by bit.

    On the other hand, when Giggle consistently failed to locate Zhao Yao in Closers World, he began to spontaneously develop his powers in the physical world, taking over every superpower organization in the United States, even the Star Cats.

    Not only that, he also continued ordering the gamepany to increase their surveince function on the yers. He decided to use both Awareness and reality to find the traces of his opponent.

    ...

    In a small forest in a part of the Cat Ind, Roly Poly looked left and right. He made sure there were no other cats around before he asked, ¡°Alright, Project X. There¡¯s no human or cat here. Quick, tell me. How do you n to lend your powers to me?¡±

    If Roly Poly was considered to be cking a little previously, this time, after Zhao Yao had been chased into hiding by the alien cats, the rm bells had finally rang in his mind this time.

    He must enhance his own abilities and gain even greater powers.

    The same thought kept recurring in his mind.

    When he heard Roly Poly¡¯s words, Project X slowly said, ¡°Since you asked me sincerely, I can lend you my powers. But like you said, both of us are negotiating on fair and equal terms. I can lend you my powers, but I can¡¯t lend them to you for nothing in return, right? Shouldn¡¯t you give me something in return for this favor?¡±

    Roly Poly paused for a moment. He scolded in his heart, ¡°This guy, he learns so fast. I shouldn¡¯t have let him read books. Knowledge can really change one¡¯s destiny...¡±

    Roly Poly pursed his lips before he asked, ¡°So what do you want?¡±

    Project X replied, ¡°I want to read more books.¡±

    Roly Poly was speechless.

    Project X said, ¡°You spend most of the time in the day sucking up to Zhao Yao. Why not let me read books at the same time as you are doing that?¡±

    Project X was hiding in Roly Poly¡¯s body now. If he wanted to read books, he could only read it at the same time as Roly Poly read.

    Hence, when he heard Project X¡¯s words, Roly Poly replied, ¡°Okay, fine. I will apany you to read books for the next few days, okay?¡±

    ¡°Now can you tell me how you are going to lend me your powers?¡± Roly Poly said, ¡°You always drag your heels over this. You¡¯re not trying to trick me are you?¡±

    ¡°You think I¡¯m like Zhao Yao? Lying to cats all the time?¡± Project X continued, ¡°The bodies of you earthling supercats all have my superpower DNA. You just have to do what I say next. We will work together as a team and you can improve the richness of the superpower DNA in your body. Only then will you be able to understand a greater, profound meaning to superpowers.¡±

    Roly Poly nodded.

    Project X said, ¡°Lie down on the floor. Close your eyes. Rx your body all four limbs facing up in the air. Imagine there is something all around you in the air that is invisible, something you cannot feel. Imagine breathing that in through your nose and all the way down into your dantian...¡±

    Roly Poly suddenly opened his eyes and asked in a suspicious tone, ¡°Dantian? Do cats even have dantian?¡±

    Project X replied, ¡°Don¡¯t care about these details. I am merely usingnguage to adjust the condition of your body. This will make it easier for your body to ept my powers.¡±

    ¡°OKay, continue lying down. Rx...¡±

    Roly Polyy on the floor for more than half an hour. He started feeling soreness in his limbs, which were raised in midair. He started doubting Project X again. ¡°Why don¡¯t I feel anything? Project X, are you ying with me? I¡¯m going to tell Zhao Yao about this!!¡±

    Project X was frustrated. ¡°Your skills and qualities are too weak. Forget it. I will think of another way.¡±

    Amidst the bushes at the side, Kun Wu stared wide-eyed at Roly Poly who was lying on the floor and wondered to herself, ¡°Why did he just flip around? And he didn¡¯t even move for more than half an hour... He¡¯s not dead right?¡±

    A hundred meters behind Kun Wu, a surveince camera perched on a tree branch slowly turned and captured multiple shots of Kun Wu¡¯s body.

    Doll thought, ¡°So Kun Wu likes such a voluptuous body? I can change the appearance of the new version of the feline robots too...¡±

    As Zhao Yao sought to build up his own powers, Giggle also sought to develop his own Awareness Kingdom in silence. The supercats on Cat Ind were also executing their own ns on Cat Ind as well.

    Beneath the calm surface of the Earth hid a huge mass of dark energy that actively spread and rumbled.

    Time flew by and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed.

    ...

    At the window of a building, Matcha slowly stuck out his cat head and observed the surroundings. His body shed after a series of time freezes before he appeared on a street hundreds of meters beyond the building.

    He then walked towards the small district along a familiar route, till he reached the cat bed of an little orange kitten.

    The little orange kitten smelled Matcha¡¯s scent from a distance and began to meow incessantly as he ran up to Matcha. He bumped his head against Matcha repeatedly in an affectionate manner.

    That was an orange little kitten that was 90% simr to Matcha. Aside from the difference in the size of their bodies, the patterns on their face, their fur color, and even the thickness of their fur were no different from that of Matcha¡¯s.

    Beside him, Yellow Mud said, ¡°Matcha, until when do you n to hide this matter. Latte is growing up daily. He keeps asking me where you go all the time now.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s face darkened as he said, ¡± Cat Ind might not be a safe ce anymore, and you know that. Zhao Yao is building up his capabilities to deal with the alien cats. If he fails, staying on Cat Ind would just be doom for us.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s that intense now?¡± Yellow Mud remarked in shock. ¡°Even Zhao Yao has a chance of losing?¡±

    ¡°Hopefully not,¡± Matcha sighed.

    He suddenly felt that his head was bing wet. The next moment, he realized that the little orange kitten was licking his head. Matcha immediately pressed on the other party¡¯s head and shouted, ¡°Latte! Didn¡¯t I tell you before! Don¡¯t go around licking the heads of other cats. If you do this outside, you will be beaten to death!¡±

    Matcha immediately licked his own paw and started rubbing it on his head. He did not want the cats on the Cat Ind to sniff a foreign cat¡¯s smell from his body after he returned.

    After staying there for half an hour, Matcha slowly stood up as he said, ¡°I¡¯ll make a move first. Zhao Yao and the rest should be back by now. It¡¯s not convenient for me to stay here any longer.¡±

    Matcha suddenly felt a small pain in his body. He lowered his head and saw Latte biting on his stomach fur, staring at him wide-eyed as he said that he was about to leave.

    Matcha liked the cat¡¯s head and said, ¡°Alright, Latte. I will visit you again after a few days. I need to go out and earn money, or else what will you eat?¡±

    Latte released his hold and whined, ¡°Then can you bring me back home with you please? I want to stay with you.¡±

    Matcha paused for a moment. After a short while, he nodded and said in a gentle voice, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Latte. When I¡¯ve made the necessary arrangements and changes, I will bring you back home with me.¡±

    It was only then that Latte finally broke into augh after crying. He smiled foolishly at Matcha.

    At the side, Yellow Mud shook his head andmunicated telepathically to Matcha, ¡°You have already lied to him so many times. Every time it happens, he cries for a longtime afterwards. You should keep himpany more frequently...¡±

    Matcha replied, ¡°I know... I understand... Just that it is really inconvenient now. At least wait for Zhao Yao to deal with the alien cats first.¡±

    Matcha had just left the small district when he instantly received Zhao Yao¡¯s message.

    ¡°Matcha, where did you go? Quick,e back. I have news of the Revival cat.¡±

    ¡°Eh?¡±

    Matcha¡¯s eyes lit up as he ran back towards Cat Wondend.

    Just as Matcha left, Latte, who was sitting obediently in his cat bed suddenly straightened his ears and stood up. ¡°Matcha left? He should be at that ce today... I want to go and take a look...¡±

    He grabbed his backpack and threw in one can of food. He thought for a bit before he packed some more cat food into his bag.

    ¡°I can¡¯t go hungry when I¡¯m outside. It¡¯s better to pack some food just in case.¡±

    ¡°Right! There¡¯s mice too!¡±

    ¡°I should bring a bag of catmint too.¡±

    ¡°Should I bring my hair cream...¡±

    After stuffing his backpack to the brim, Latte carried it on his back and rushed out the door.

    He nced at Yellow Mud and thought, ¡°Yellow Mud will fall asleep soon.¡± As he walked towards the entrance to his cat dwelling, Yellow Mud, who was ying on his phone, fluttered his eyes close as he dozed off.

    Latte smiled and proceeded to walk out of the cat dwelling. He stared at the street before him and thought to himself, ¡°Those stupid dogs in the district will be passing by soon. I should just wait for them to pass first.¡±

    After a short while, a few stray dogs barked as they ran past. Latte waited for them to pass by before he walked to the corner of the district.

    He licked his lips as he stared at the open area in front of him. ¡°The sausage should have been thrown somewhere near here...¡±

    As he thought of that, a human threw a half-eaten sausage out of the window. It fell right at the corner of the wall, where Latte was.

    Latte devoured the sausage and walked further down. He suddenly stretched out his paws and caught a small sparrow. Looking at the small sparrow in his paws, Latte licked the sparrow¡¯s head. Seeing how the small sparrow trembled in fear, Latteughed and said, ¡°I won¡¯t eat you! Don¡¯t be scared. Be more careful next time. Don¡¯t fall down again!¡±

    After putting down the small sparrow, Latte looked up at the fence again and sprung up, leaping over the wall in an instant. Thereafter, he ran towards Cat Wondend. The path was all too familiar to him.

    Once he reached the entrance to the basement in the Cat Wondend, Latte stared at the big door before him and thought, ¡°It should be here. However, I don¡¯t know what lies beyond that door. I don¡¯t even know if Matcha will be inside...¡±

    After thinking about it, Latte decided to gather his courage and strode towards the Cat Wondend nonchntly.

    After entering the door, he had a nagging feeling that all the cats around him were staring at him. It made him feel ufortable, so he quickened his pace and walked deeper into the Cat Wondend.

    One supercat asked curiously, ¡°Eh? Is that Milk Tea?¡±

    Another supercat remarked, ¡°Looks like it. But why do I feel like he became much smaller?¡±

    Latte continued climbing up a few floors and walked to a ce where there were fewer cats. He finally heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Phew, there are so many cats here. This is my first time seeing so many cats around. But, where exactly is Matcha?¡±

    He walked along a corridor, sniffing the air as he searched for Matcha. The next moment, he saw the back of an orange cat in the near distance. His face immediately broke into an excited smile.

    ¡°Matcha! Matcha!¡± Latte immediately sprinted over and leapt onto the back of that orange cat, putting his weight on him.

    Mao Mao turned around coldly and saw Latte hugging him from behind. He said, ¡°Milk Tea... I¡¯m Mao Mao, not Matcha. Can youe down from my back now? You¡¯re pressing so hard I can¡¯t breathe.¡±

    ¡°Eh?¡± Latte stared at Mao Mao in shoc and immediately mbered down. ¡°I mistook you for another cat.¡± He furtively nced at Mao Mao again and thought to himself, ¡°This cat¡¯s face looks so sad, he is indeed quite different from Matcha.¡±

    After he got the wrong cat, Latte meowed and scurried off. Mao Mao was slightly confused as he thought to himself, ¡°Why do I feel like Milk Tea is a little bit different today? Forget it. I am just a pathetic cat from a lowly background, a pet cat with no freedom. I don¡¯t have the energy to care about another cat¡¯s life...¡±

    At that moment, Airne shouted from afar, ¡°Mao Mao, Mao Mao where did you go? Quick,e out and entertain guests.¡±

    Mao Mao ran over and smiled brightly as he said, ¡°Brother Airne, a customer asked for me?¡±

    Airne nodded and urged him forward. ¡°It¡¯s all because I aggressively rmended you. This customer is very rich, you better perform well. Don¡¯t behave like you didst time and scratch the customer.¡±

    Mao Mao immediately nodded and said, ¡°I understand, Brother Airne. I was too nervousst time, that¡¯s why I stretched out my paws. I have been learning how to work for the past few days. I will definitely not make any mistakes again! I will make sure to serve them well!¡±

    Airne said, ¡°I can see your potential. The first time I saw you, I knew you had the potential to be a star here, that¡¯s why I invested so much effort in prepping you and rmending you to customers. Don¡¯t disappoint me.¡±

    Mao Mao was moved and replied passionately, ¡°Brother Airne! You treat me so well!¡±

    Airne patted Mao Mao¡¯s head and said, ¡°Okay, go ahead. Don¡¯t let the customer wait for too long.¡±

    As he watched Mao Mao leave, Airne took out his phone and uploaded another advertisement. He uploaded a photo of Mao Mao with a caption that said, ¡°The new arrival of 2018, a tender little cat! Now with a special discount of 10%. Firste, first touch!¡±

    Someone immediately left ament below. ¡°What a d*mn liar! Everyone, don¡¯t believe him. Thest time I chose this cat, it was obviously a 13 year old cat but it tried to act like it was 18 years old!¡±

    ¡°I chose him before too. This cat just had a ck face the whole time. What a terrible attitude! Time wasn¡¯t even up before he started ushering people out!¡±

    ¡°Low-quality ck-hearted businessmen. Everyone, stop going to this shop to y with cats!¡±

    Airne stared at thements in disdain as he deleted them one by one. ¡°A bunch of poor asses. It¡¯s a cat with a 10% discount. How good do you expect him to be?¡±

    On the other hand, after Latte ran away from Mao Mao, he continued to smell the air to see if he could sniff out Matcha. Not long after, he saw another orange cat scrubbing the floor with all his might in the main hall.

    When he saw the back view of that cat, Latte felt as though the cat looked familiar, yet foreign at the same time.

    ¡°Looks a bit like Matcha, but doesn¡¯t seem exactly the same.¡±

    He cautiously walked over to the front of that cat and quietly observed the facial features of that cat. He became even more puzzled. ¡°He really looks like Matcha. How are there so many cats that look like Matcha here? Are they all my kin?¡±

    At that moment, Milk Tea, whom he was sneakily observing, looked up. Both cats locked eyes at that moment and stared at each other.

    Milk Tea thought, ¡°Why does this guy look so much like me?¡±

    Latte thought, ¡°This guy really looks a lot like Matcha.¡±

    The two little orange kittens slowly closed in on each other. Milk Tea asked curiously, ¡°Who are you? Why do you look so much like me?¡±

    ¡°My name is Latte. Who are you?¡± Latte asked warily

    Milk Tea said, ¡°My name is Milk Tea! I¡¯m a supercat from Cat Wondend!¡± He looked curiously at Latte and said, ¡°Latte? Are you new here in Cat Wondend?¡±

    ¡°Matcha is a supercat working in Cat Wondend, I... am I considered one too?¡± Latte said shyly, ¡°Hmm, I¡¯m new here.¡±

    Milk Tea¡¯s eyes lit up as he said, ¡°We haven¡¯t had new kittens in Cat Wondend for a long time! You are not familiar with anyone here. Let me introduce everyone to you!¡±

    Milk Tea showed Latte around Cat Wondend excitedly. He exined Cat Wondend, the ces to eat and y, who the fierce and kind supercats were, to Latte...

    Both Milk and Latte had not had the experience of having childhood friends.

    A kitten which was less than a year old was by nature energetic and lively and would run and scratch around. Though supercats¡¯ requirement for fun was higher, they were restless in their kitten stage.

    The two orange kittens bolted and chased each other around Cat Wondend. asionally, they would roll and knock into otherrge cats and be scolded. They would then flee to a safe ce andugh together.

    Fish Ball rubbed his eyes and saw two orange cats running up the stairs. He shook his head and muttered to himself, ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why did I see two Milk Teas? Am I too tired?¡±

    A cat paw pressed on his head and Fish Ball turned back in shock. ¡°Li Li? Why are you here?¡±

    The Cat King of the North, Li Liined, ¡°I call you daily but you haven¡¯te so I had toe over.¡±

    Fish Ball said with embarrassment, ¡°You¡¯re impatient. I said I¡¯d find you.¡±

    Li Li said shyly, ¡°You said you¡¯d bring me to see your owner three months ago but I haven¡¯t seen her yet...¡±

    Fish Ball felt cold sweat dripping down his head. ¡°I¡¯m busy with work and have to work overtime in Cat Wondend. I want to provide a blissful life for you.¡±

    Li Li said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to work overtime. I receive a lot of government subsidies every month. When we are together, I can support you.¡±

    ¡°Support me?¡± Fish Ball replied angrily. ¡°Who wants you to support me? If other cats know that you are supporting me, they¡¯ll think I¡¯m a useless husband. How could I face other cats outside? Don¡¯t you care about your reputation?¡±

    Li Li lowered her head and said, ¡°Fish Ball, don¡¯t be angry. I¡¯ll pass the money discreetly to you so that other cats don¡¯t know. Is that okay?¡±

    Fish Ball¡¯s eyes lit up and shook his head as he said, ¡°No, I¡¯m not that kind of a cat. You can¡¯t bribe me with money!¡±

    Li Li frowned and nced at Fish Ball¡¯s swinging tail as she thought, ¡°He¡¯s obviously interested. He knows how to act.¡±

    Li Li said gently, ¡°Fish Ball, how¡¯s your work in Cat Wondend? There are rumors saying that Zhao Yao¡¯s in trouble.¡±

    After Zhao Yao discussed with the higher-ups, his death was ssified as information at the highest security level.

    Only a very small number of people knew about Zhao Yao¡¯s situation. Even Uncle Ho was in the dark about Zhao Yao¡¯s situation.

    ¡°Those are rumors. I¡¯m working in Cat Wondend daily. Wouldn¡¯t I know about Zhao Yao? He went on vacation. I have no idea where he¡¯s gone gallivanting.¡±

    Fish Ball continued enviously, ¡°Cat Wondend is now managed by Bai Quan. Besides Zhao Yao, I rarely get to see Matcha, Elizabeth, Ares and Dust Ball.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Li Li acknowledged and said, ¡°When are you bringing me to see Xiao Yu? When are you moving to my ce?¡±

    ¡°Li Li,¡± Fish Ball said, ¡°Don¡¯t be impatient. I am a young supercat with some skill. It¡¯s time for me to develop my career. There are lots of opportunities for me in Cat Wondend and the management think highly of me. I want to concentrate on my career and not think of others...¡±

    Li Li¡¯s eyes emitted cold rays. ¡°Are you shirking from responsibility?¡± A sea wave gushed out from her mouth and flooded Fish Ball, pinning him to the wall.

    Li Li said viciously, ¡°Fish Ball, I¡¯m warning you! I¡¯m three years old and I¡¯m not young. My sister and brother already have grandchildren. You have to give me an answer as to when we are getting married.¡±

    Fish Ball swallowed his saliva and said, ¡°Cats who are in love stay together, as for marriage...¡±

    Crackling sounds were heard...

    The strong water pressure disintegrated the wall behind Fish Ball who said anxiously, ¡°Cats who are in love should get married and don¡¯t worry too much.¡±

    The water wave was retrieved as Li Li smiled and said, ¡°Good Fish Ball, let¡¯s start preparing for it early. Why don¡¯t you meet my sister and brother...¡±

    Fish Ball looked sweetly at Li Li but felt helpless inside. He found a chance to send out a Wechat message to ask for help. ¡°Who¡¯sing to save me? I¡¯m being forced into marriage.¡±

    ¡°Congrattions!¡± Matcha said, ¡°Don¡¯t forget to take in deep breaths.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s cell phone vibrated and it was Yellow Mud¡¯s message.

    ¡°Latte¡¯s missing!¡±

    ...

    Milk Tea chased after Latte and managed to pounce on him. They rolled and stood up. Milk Tea swung his tail and started fleeing. ¡°Latte! It¡¯s your turn to catch me!¡±

    Latte meowed as he chased Milk Tea. Both cats ran happily along the corridor but they failed to turn the corner and they rolled together, knocking into the wall corner. They jumped up together.

    Milk Tea spat his tongue and said joyfully, ¡°Latte! Are you hungry? There¡¯s a free buffet downstairs! I¡¯ll bring you to eat!¡±

    ¡°Buffet?¡± Latte was dripping saliva as he said, ¡°Bring me! Let¡¯s go immediately!¡±

    In the cat restaurant below, Latte eat voraciously at arge bowl of salmon.

    ¡°This meat¡¯s delicious!¡± Latte said in a pleasant surprise, ¡°What meat is this?¡±

    ¡°This is salmon! I¡¯ll get more for you since you like it that much.¡±

    Latte looked at the meat and said earnestly, ¡°Salmon... it¡¯s awesome. I haven¡¯t tasted such delicious meat!¡±

    Latte put his backpack on the table and opened it. He wanted to take out his favourite chicken canned food but he hesitated as he could not bear to share it. Finally, he put the chicken canned food in front of Milk Tea.

    ¡°This is my favourite fish canned food!¡± Latte looked at Milk Tea with a heartache and said, ¡°I¡¯m giving it to you!¡±

    Milk Tea looked at the canned food and thought, ¡°Oh? I am sick of this canned food which is our staple food daily.¡±

    Milk Tea gazed at Latte who was looking with anticipation and he let Latte open the canned food. He took a bite and said joyously, ¡°This canned food¡¯s awesome. I like it very much.¡±

    Latte smiled and waved graciously as he said, ¡°Have more if you like it! I am giving you this canned food.¡±

    Milk Tea quivered his whiskers and looked at the canned food which he took daily and said, ¡°Okay, give it to me.¡±

    After a few bites of the canned food, Milk Tea looked at Latte and asked curiously, ¡°Latte, what¡¯s your superpower?¡±

    Latte lifted his head and licked his mouth as he said in embarrassment, ¡°My superpower¡¯s ordinary. I know what¡¯s going to happen for the day when I wake up.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Milk Tea said, ¡°Isn¡¯t that interesting? Did you know that you would be meeting me?¡±

    Latte shook his head, ¡°I don¡¯t know a lot of things everyday. I don¡¯t even know what¡¯s going to happen in Cat Wondend.¡± He lowered his head and continued eating. He let out asional munching sounds of satisfaction.

    Latte munched as he asked, ¡°What about you Milk Tea? What¡¯s your superpower?¡±

    ¡°My superpower?¡± Milk tea tilted his head and looked anguished. ¡°I don¡¯t know my superpower. I tested for a long time to no avail.¡±

    Milk Tea wanted to control his superpower and he asked a lot of cats and people and tried many ways. Uncle Egg, Doll, and Matcha also helped him test his superpower but they failed.

    Latte patted his chest and said, ¡°No problem Milk Tea, I¡¯ll help you! I know how to control superpowers!¡±

    Milk Tea looked doubtfully at Latte and said, ¡°Oh? Really?¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡± Latte looked at Milk Tea and said solemnly, ¡°Have a full meal. The fuller you are, the better your superpower is! Get more salmon, I¡¯ll eat with you!¡±

    Milk Tea looked speechless at Latte as he thought, ¡°He must be thinking of eating more salmon...¡± Milk Tea did not expose him. Instead, Milk Tea raised his paw and shouted, ¡°Waiter! Four more tes of salmon!¡±

    Seeing Latte munching the salmon, Milk Tea went into a daze and thought, ¡°When can I understand my superpower?¡±

    After a while, Lattey on the table contentedly with a huge belly and his paws facing the sky. He said in satisfaction, ¡°I¡¯m very full. Sleep¡¯s the best after a full meal!¡±

    Latte looked at Milk Tea and said, ¡°Milk Tea, let¡¯s sleep together! After a good rest, you can use your superpower!¡±

    Milk Tea pressed his paw on Latte¡¯s head and said, ¡°Good, sleep if you¡¯re tired.¡±

    Milk Tea brought Latte to a room and Latte fell asleep quickly. Milk Tea shook his head and looked at Latte¡¯s face and muttered, ¡°His face is very adorable. I wonder how Brother Matcha and the cats are doing...¡±

    He his tail drooped dejectedly. ¡°This is frustrating. I¡¯m unable to use my superpower... I cannot be of any help.¡±

    ¡°Milk Tea!¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Milk Tea lifted his head and looked.

    Latte rolled to the bedside and his upper bodyy down on the window sill as he muttered, ¡°Milk Tea! Take more salmon to awaken your superpower!¡±

    Milk Tea rolled his eyes and thought, ¡°I hope I don¡¯t be his salmon provider...¡±

    One hourter, Latte opened his eyes and climbed down from the window sill slowly. He raised up his paw and stretched his back as he yawned.

    ¡°It¡¯sfortable to sleep here.¡±

    ¡°Yes! I almost forgot! I¡¯m here to look for Matcha!¡±

    Latte looked at Milk Tea, who was ying with his cell phone and asked, ¡°Milk Tea! Do you know Matcha?¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Milk Tea looked at Latte in surprise.

    Latte said, ¡°Hmm, you might not know him as Matcha¡¯s in a high position. He¡¯s the owner of the Cat Wondend and in charge of tens of thousands of people and cats. You are a cleaner here so you might not know.¡±

    Milk Tea was speechless.

    Latte said, ¡°I¡¯m going to look for Matcha! I¡¯m here to see him.¡±

    Seeing Latte leaving with his backpack, Milk could not resist asking, ¡°Latte... why are you looking for Matcha?¡±

    ¡°Why?¡± Latte tilted his head and thought for a while. He edged closer to Milk Tea carefully and looked earnestly at Milk Tea. ¡°Milk Tea, are we good friends?¡±

    Milk Tea said with mixed feelings, ¡°I guess so...¡±

    Latte said solemnly, ¡°Can I share my secrets with you?¡±

    Milk Tea turned his head away as though he expected something. ¡°Matcha... what tales did he spin...¡±

    Milk Tea said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to tell me...¡±

    Latte said, ¡°My father¡¯s the owner of Cat Wondend. He¡¯s in charge of Jianghai¡¯s numerous supercats. His fortune¡¯s worth billions. His every action affects countless people. He¡¯s Matcha!¡±

    Milk Tea said, ¡°Uh... sounds good.¡±

    ¡°Sounds good?¡± Latte said excitedly. ¡°He¡¯s the saviour of countless supercats, the King of supercats, the beautiful side of the world, the bearer of light in the shadows. He¡¯s the premium life who¡¯s helping the humans with important development!¡±

    ¡°I see...¡±

    ¡°Many people would like to cause him harm. Even in Cat Wondend, a few supercats are backstabbing him,¡± Latte said warily. ¡°I had been raised in secret from young so that I won¡¯t be discovered by Matcha¡¯s enemies.¡±

    Milk Tea said, ¡°... Because he¡¯s the strongest supercat... and positioned above all supercats?¡±

    ¡°You knew that too? This proves that his fame is far and wide,¡± Latte said. ¡°You have to help me keep the secret.¡±

    After keeping silent, Milk Tea could not resist saying, ¡°Latte, my dad likes to tell me about his awesomeness and sometimes he¡¯s boasting...¡±

    Latte looked at Milk Tea with sympathy and said, ¡°You¡¯re unfortunate. Let me ask my dad to talk to your dad so that he won¡¯t boast anymore.¡±

    Matcha thought helplessly, ¡°Latte¡¯s optimism is quite simr to...¡±

    ...

    Matcha paced around anxiously at the cat dwelling of the district. ¡°Why is he missing?¡±

    ¡°Could he be captured by cat torturers?¡±

    ¡°Or being taken by other humans?¡±

    ¡°Latte¡¯s so small! What if he¡¯s sold into the mountains!¡±

    Matcha searched in the small district for a few hours but did not find him. Matcha became worried.

    At this instance, his cell phone vibrated and he saw Milk Tea¡¯s message.

    ¡°Latte¡¯s with me.¡±

    ...

    Matcha arrived at Latte and Milk Tea¡¯s room. Latte immediately jumped up and pounced on Matcha. ¡°Matcha! Matcha! I¡¯ve found you!¡±

    Matcha pped Latte on his head and said furiously, ¡°Who let you run around! Don¡¯t you know how dangerous the world is?¡±

    ¡°I know...¡± Latte hugged his head and said pitifully, ¡°I have grown up. My superpower can be put to use!¡±

    ¡°Wrong... you can¡¯t win the lottery. Your superpower¡¯s not urate...¡± Matcha¡¯s head turned around to look for Milk Tea. ¡°Where¡¯s Milk Tea? Didn¡¯t he call me over here? Don¡¯t you know where he is?¡±

    The door was opened as Milk Tea walked in and said, ¡°I¡¯m here.¡±

    Milk Tea looked at Matcha and said telepathically, ¡°Latte said you¡¯re his dad, what¡¯s going on?¡±

    Matcha showed his weathered expression as he said, ¡°I remember that year at the Da Ming river, I saw her and she gaze at me...¡±

    Milk Tea said, ¡°Brother Matcha... Let¡¯s talk politely.¡±

    Matcha looked sadly at Milk Tea and said, ¡°Milk Tea, you were very obedient when you were young. You would listen attentively until I finished. Six months have passed and you¡¯ve grown up. You¡¯re now interrupting me...¡±

    Milk Tea was no longer the naive kitten he was half a year ago. He had matured very fast in theplex Cat Wondend.

    Matcha looked grudgingly at Milk Tea and said, ¡°Milk Tea¡¯s grown up and despises me.¡±

    Milk Tea said, ¡°You know I don¡¯t despise you. Hmm...¡± He gazed at Matcha and said, ¡°Brother Matcha, you¡¯re changing the topic? Is Latte your son?¡±

    Matcha lowered his head and hid his head in his buttocks as though he was autistic.

    Milk Tea said, ¡°If you don¡¯t tell me, I¡¯ll inform Zhao Yao...¡±

    Matcha immediately replied, ¡°Yes, I was intoxicated and taken advantage of by a female cat. That¡¯s how Latte...¡±

    Milk Tea exposed his lies and said, ¡°Haven¡¯t you been ying Closers World for the past few months? Yesterday, you wereining you haven¡¯t chatted more than 20 lines with female cats for the past year, how could you get into a sexual rtionship in your drunken stupor?¡±

    Matcha¡¯s face froze and he said indignantly, ¡°I have inte affairs! Do you understand what inte affairs are?! Milk Tea, you don¡¯t know my charm on the inte!¡±

    ¡°Inte affair?¡± Milk Tea looked suspiciously at Matcha. ¡°Weren¡¯t youining to Lightning yesterday that your inte love interest was a man weighing a hundred kilograms?¡±

    Matcha swung his tail in anger. ¡°Lightning¡¯s a snitch! How could he divulge my secrets?!¡±

    Milk Tea said, ¡°Though this may not sound nice, you¡¯re not that to female cats. You don¡¯t have the muscles of Sphynx cat, your fur¡¯s not thetest color, your breed¡¯s just normal orange. You are tactless and you sounded feminine...¡±

    ¡°Stop!¡± Matcha mmed his paw on the ground and said in pain, ¡°Is breed that important? Don¡¯t orange cats have a chance?! I¡¯m not yielding!¡±

    Milk Tea said anxiously, ¡°No... no! I like you a lot Brother Matcha! Female cats may like Lightning or Fish Ball as they are special breeds but I believe that once they get to know your character and integrity, they¡¯ll like you.¡±

    Matcha said angrily, ¡°Those female cats only look at fur. I heard that Koreans have discovered a new fur imnt technique. Let me change all my fur...¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s not discuss this,¡± Milk Tea said. ¡°Is Latte your son? Or...¡± His eyeball rolled and looked suspiciously at Matcha, ¡°If you don¡¯t have a girlfriend... is it rted to Doomsday?¡±

    ¡°Ah!???¡± Matcha looked fearfully at Milk Tea and said, ¡°What... what nonsense... Are you saying... Who¡¯s Doomsday? I don¡¯t know him!¡±

    ¡°This is too suspicious,¡± Milk Tea said. ¡°If you had a girlfriend, you would send daily photographs to our Wechat group to boast. Was it caused by Doomsday? Latte and you almost look alike. Was it Doomsday¡¯s cloning superpower?¡±

    ¡°To confirm, shall we do a DNA test?¡±

    Matcha was shocked speechless. ¡°D*mn... Milk Tea¡¯s inherited my intelligence? How did he guess that?¡±

    Matcha sprawled on the ground and said feebly, ¡°Milk Tea! Milk Tea!¡± He crawled to Milk Tea¡¯s leg and hugged his calf. ¡°Don¡¯t ever tell anyone about this! I won¡¯t be able to face everyone!¡±

    Milk Tea looked at Matcha and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be like this... Latte¡¯s looking.¡±

    Latte looked curiously at Matcha and Milk Tea as he said, ¡°What are you doing?¡± Matcha and Milk Tea were facing each other and conversing telepathically. Latte could not understand what was going on.

    Matcha stood up and said, ¡°Nothing much Latte. I¡¯m thanking my little brother for finding you. Let¡¯s go home quickly. Yellow Mud¡¯s sick with worry.¡±

    Matcha walked forward and held Latte¡¯s neck in his mouth as he dragged Latte away. ¡°Milk Tea, we are leaving. Don¡¯t be bothered by us. Pretend nothing has happened today.¡±

    Latte tossed around and hugged Matcha as he shouted, ¡°No! I don¡¯t want to return to the dirty and smelly cat dwelling! I want to stay here! The food¡¯s good, the ce¡¯s big and the bed¡¯s soft! Why can¡¯t I stay here...¡±

    Seeing Latte struggling, Matcha hesitated.

    Milk Tea said, ¡°Brother Matcha, inform Master Yao and the supercats. It¡¯s not feasible to let Latte stay outside. Don¡¯t worry. You were affected by Doomsday¡¯s superpower. They won¡¯tugh at you.¡±

    Matcha sprawled on the ground and hid his head in his fur like an ostrich. ¡°No!

    Milk Tea said, ¡°Brother Matcha, you¡¯re a big cat. You can¡¯t always hide from your problems.¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with hiding? This is my survival experience! No matter what problem, as long as it¡¯s dyed, it¡¯ll vanish by itself!¡±

    Milk Tea said, ¡°That¡¯s too optimistic...¡±

    Milk Tea looked at Latte and said telepathically to Matcha, ¡°Isn¡¯t Latte pitiful? I was also a stray cat when I¡¯m young. Brother Matcha, have you gone through such a life before? It¡¯s very cruel to let a small cat survive outside!¡±

    Matcha said optimistically, ¡°No problem. I¡¯ll buy a new cellphone for Latte and let him y Mobile Legends.¡± He looked at Latte and said, ¡°Latte, I¡¯ll buy a cellphone for you and we¡¯ll y Mobile Legends when we go back.¡±

    ¡°Yeah!¡± Latte was excited as he said, ¡°I¡¯ll have my cellphone to y Mobile Legends! Let¡¯s go home! Let¡¯s go home!¡±

    Matcha looked at Milk Tea arrogantly and said, ¡°Did you see that? When faced with problems, ying games will solve the problems. That¡¯s my precious life experience.¡±

    Milk Tea rolled his eyes as he was no longer easily appeased like a small kitten. He looked at Latte and said, ¡°No, I¡¯ll inform Master Yao. Latte¡¯ll stay with us. Don¡¯t worry Brother Matcha, they won¡¯tugh at you.¡±

    ¡°Hahahaha!¡± Lightning sprawled on the grass, turning and tossing. He lifted his head and pointed at Matcha as heughed wildly. ¡°Matcha? Giving birth? Hahahaha!¡±

    ¡°Ah!¡± Lightning screamed in pain as he convulsed. ¡°It¡¯s painful! My stomach¡¯s in spasms! Help me....¡±

    Matcha pped on Lightning¡¯s stomach and said, ¡°No thanks.¡± His brows pulsated as he looked at theughing Cannon. ¡°What¡¯s so funny?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s hrious!¡± Cannon hugged his stomach and trembled as he guffawed. ¡°How did you give birth? Up or down? Hahahaha.¡±

    Latte stayed behind Matcha warily as he looked at theughing supercats. He frowned and asked uneasily, ¡°Matcha, are theyughing at me?¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°They¡¯re silly cats. Don¡¯t be bothered by them.¡±

    Matcha red at Lightning and activated Time Freeze. He beat up Lightning and Cannon whoughed the loudest. When time resumed, he shouted at him, ¡°Quitughing and shut up.¡±

    Lightning and Cannon were on the floor and they looked astonished and fearfully at Matcha. They could not figure out why Matcha was serious and fierce about their teasing when he could not be botheredst time.

    Zhao Yao, who was sitting by the side, finally spoke.

    ¡°Enough, stop fooling around.¡± He walked to Matcha and knelt down as he looked at Latte who was hiding under Matcha¡¯s stomach. He felt like caressing Latte.

    Seeing Latte bing more frightened, Zhao Yao did not caress him. He knew that small kittens were extremely afraid of strangers, especially under the gazes of many cats.

    Zhao Yao caressed Matcha instead and said, ¡°Since Latte¡¯s here, don¡¯t leave him outside. People may think that I¡¯m unable to support a kitten.¡±

    Latte patted Matcha¡¯s big belly and said telepathically, ¡°Matcha! Matcha! Am I staying in Cat Wondend?¡±

    Matcha lowered his head and licked Latte¡¯s head fur. ¡°Yes, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m influential. If I want you to stay, nobody can oppose me.¡±

    Milk Tea looked at how Matcha protected Latte and felt strange. It was sour and happy at the same time. He thought, ¡°Brother Matcha¡¯s bing more mature.¡±

    He recalled when he was young, Matcha did not like him and would be pushed off if he got close. It was so different from the current Matcha who protected Latte.

    Zhao Yao looked at Latte, Matcha, and Milk Tea and thought about Mao Mao. He felt strange. ¡°Even if orange cats look simr... with four orange cats looking alike, even the frown lines look simr and it feels weird.¡±

    He asked Matcha telepathically, ¡°Matcha, what¡¯s Latte¡¯s superpower?¡±

    Matcha told Zhao Yao and he started thinking. ¡°Foretelling the future? Or receiving information from the future? Foretelling dreams?¡± No matter how Zhao Yao thought, he felt it was a time rted superpower and it had potential.¡±

    ¡°Is it because Latte was cloned in Matcha¡¯s body?¡±

    Shaking his head, Zhao Yao put aside his thoughts and started his n for the day.

    For the past two months, he had been hiding in the dark, umting energy for evolution, experience points and lottery chances.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s power had taken arge leap forward.

    Catherine had attained Level 12 while Diana had reached Level 15.

    Catherine had also gained the Awareness Dimension¡¯s energy and transformation superpower after evolving to Level 12. After transformation, she was able to absorb 20% of an awareness attack to replenish her power of awareness until it was at 100%.

    With the absorption of the awareness, the power up of her superpower was between 10% to 100%.

    After transformation, Diana¡¯s physical immunity factor was 55% and her power up factor was 150%. She could kick yers offline and pull them into her dreamscapes.

    With the evolution of two supercats, Zhao Yao gained a deeper understanding of the power of awareness and the Awareness Dimension.

    ¡°Everyone, please close your eyes.¡± Zhao Yao looked at Diana and Catherine in the distance as he said, ¡°Please begin Diana and Catherine.¡±

    Catherine and Diana faced each other as Catherine activated her superpower. Both of them shook and their bodies copsed to the ground as they were sleep induced.

    It was different from the 20 seconds Sleep Induction. The affected Diana awoke after a few seconds and was fearful but she didn¡¯t panic and run around. She held her ground and shed some fur.

    Zhao Yao nodded his head. ¡°Aspared to the Level 1 to 10¡¯s development of new superpowers, the evolution is about control of the Awareness Dimension¡¯s power and the overall increase of the superpower. The power of awareness was also able to resist most superpowers.¡±

    Hence Diana had resistance against Catherine¡¯s superpower.

    After a series of tests, Zhao Yao discovered that Catherine had developed resistance against Diana¡¯s dreamscape superpower.

    As Catherine¡¯s level was inferior to Diana, her resistance was weaker and her mental damage upon entering the dreamscape was slightly reduced.

    Zhao Yao looked at Uncle Egg and said, ¡°Uncle Egg, try it.¡±

    Uncle Egg attacked Diana with lightning but she tilted her head and felt nothing. Catherine¡¯s fur quivered slightly and she felt nothing too.

    ¡°After evolution and control of power of awareness, the supercats receive strong resistance against superpowers,¡± Zhao Yao thought. ¡°In the case of the alien cats...¡±

    Zhao Yao thought about the pursuit by the alien in Closers World and the alien cat¡¯s perception of awareness.

    ¡°Aspared to Diana and Catherine, the alien cats were at least Level 17 or 18. Most of my supercats¡¯ superpowers are ineffective against the alien cats.¡±

    Even Diana, who had the highest level, found it difficult to induce the alien cats into the dreamscapes. Zhao Yao had to flee and hide in the dreamscape as he waited for the alien cat to enter the dreamscape voluntarily.

    When Diana attained Level 18, she would have a chance to defeat the alien cat. If he had several Level 18 supercats, he could defeat the alien cats directly.

 Chapter 945: Power of Awareness

    <h4>Chapter 945: Power of Awareness</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    In the material realm, supercats with control of awareness developed a resistance to superpowers. In the Awareness Dimension and dreamscape, supercats with control of awareness were able to attack with their power of awareness.

    Under the direction of Zhao Yao, Catherine and Diana entered the dreamscape. The material realm¡¯s superpowers were useless in the dreamscape so they manipted their power of awareness to attack each other.

    Both supercats left the dreamscape after a while. Zhao Yao thought, ¡°The battle in the Awareness Dimension was simple but violent and dangerous. It was a pure brute force pitting of awareness power.

    Just like the previous encounter with the alien cat. I have no choice but to flee as my power of awareness was too inferior.¡±

    Zhao Yao spected, ¡°Those alien cats with powerful awarenesses will battle in the Awareness Dimension while the weaker cats escape to the material realm to use their superpowers for a chance of winning.¡±

    ¡°If the difference in the power of awareness is too great, he would be like Doomsday and taken away without any chance of escaping.¡±

    ¡°Fortunately, Diana¡¯s superpower is rted to dreams so her superpower can be used in dreamscapes.¡±

    Dreamscapes existed in the Awareness Dimension. Diana did not have direct attack abilities in the material realm but in the Awareness Dimension, she could enter dreamscapes and distort the dream using her superpower.

    Dreamscapes were Diana¡¯s specialty.

    ¡°There are alien cats who control other people¡¯s awareness. I think it¡¯s their superpowers.¡± Zhao Yao recalled how the alien cat almost controlled his awareness and thought, ¡°Their superpowers are to control other people¡¯s awareness.¡±

    Besides Diana and Catherine, Zhao Yao did not know of other supercats with power of awareness. He had to figure out the fighting tactics based on his personal research and the alien cat¡¯s exhibition of superpower.

    For the past two months, besides Diana and Catherine¡¯s evolution, Zhao Yao had gained lots of experience points.

    The Book panel showed that he had umted 70 thousand experience points over the past two months and a cumtive total of 140 thousand experience points.

    Zhao Yao awarded the experience points to Matcha and he was upgraded to Level 10.

    After using two skill points, Zhao Yao let Matcha learn all the Level 9 and 10 skills in the skill tree.

    Matcha had be stronger. The Time Freeze duration increased to 18 seconds and he had increased ten times in speed. The cooling down period for Time Distortion was reduced to three hours. During the cooling down period, every attack had a chance to reduce the cooling down period by one second.

    The Jianghai market share of the catmint had increased over the past two months. Zhao Yao obtained 150 lottery chances, which drew many experience points, Spicy Cat Strips, and other items.

    Zhao Yao obtained a new item, Battle Scanner.

    He took the monocle out from his pocket and wore it on his left eye.

    He saw changes in the scene. Matcha, Ares and Elizabeth became trash bags and their heads were floating with these words: Trash withbat rating of less than 5.

    When he was looking at Diana and Catherine, Catherine¡¯s head showed Level 12 while Diana¡¯s head showed Level 15.

    This battle scanner allowed Zhao Tao to see the power of awareness of his targets. Only targets above Level 10 were measured. Those without control of awareness werebelled as trash.

    Zhao Yao also obtained seven Improvement stones and attained 66/80 Cat Prince Costume Fragments.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°After collecting all the fragments of the Cat Prince Costume, I wonder what¡¯s the use of it. I hope it has to do with power of awareness.¡±

    ¡°Next is the Improvement Stone.¡±

    Zhao Yao endured for a long time and since the weather was good, he decided to use the stone on the Dragon ying Saber.

    He pped an Improvement Stone on the Dragon ying Saber and it changed from +1 to +2. The prohibition of superpower increased from 20 seconds to 30 seconds.

    ¡°Great!¡± Zhao Yao said joyfully, ¡°My luck¡¯s pretty good today.¡± After thinking for a while, he pped two Improvement Stones on the Saber and the Dragon ying Saber became +4.

    Besides the normal Dragon ying verification, the prohibition of superpower was extended to 50 seconds and a side effect of weakening of awareness.

    ¡°Not bad, the Dragon ying Saber¡¯s upgraded and now has an awareness attack capability.¡± Zhao Yao rubbed his hand excitedly and pped another Improvement Stone on it. ¡°If I continue using the Improvement Stone, would I be able to use it directly in the Awareness Dimension?¡±

    The Improvement Stone failed and instead of the saber bing +5, it became +3.

    Zhao Yao was glum and used the remaining Improvement Stones on the Dragon ying Saber. Finally the saber became +4.

    ¡°Shit!¡± Zhao Yao wanted to continue but he ran out of Improvement Stones.

    Zhao was furious. ¡°This is frustrating!¡±

    ¡°If only I had more Improvement Stones.¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed as he looked at the Dragon ying Saber +4. He could only upgrade the saber in the future.

    The cellphone vibrated and Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up as he received a message regarding the Revival cat¡¯s location.

    Zhao Yao gathered the supercats to find Revival cat so that Sphynx cat could be revived.

    ¡°Very good!¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°Supercat Armor! Gear Up!¡±

    Ares, who was chatting with Fish Ball on Wechat, messaged, ¡°I¡¯m going off. The supercat armor¡¯s gearing up. It¡¯s my turn to transform.¡±

    Elizabeth, Ares, Rice Cake and Cheese transformed into a scarf, sword and cloak on Zhao Yao¡¯s body.

    Catherine, who had control of the Awareness Dimension¡¯s energy, ate a Cat Spicy Strip and became a white glowing ring behind Zhao Yao¡¯s back.

    The light ring could appear, vanish, erge or shrink ording to Zhao Yao¡¯s will. Those who gazed at the light ring would fall asleep. Though the light ring didn¡¯t transmit sound, the ergement could let more people see it and force them to sleep.

    Zhao Yao looked satisfactorily at his light ring. He was anticipating new changes in items after his supercats evolved.

    Diana ate a Cat Strip and became a small grey me burning at Zhao Yao¡¯s brow chakra.

    Zhao Yao could also choose to make the me appear or vanish and lead all life forms within a radius of 500 meters into his dreamscape.

    Once his supercat armor waspleted, Zhao Yao looked at his status, ¡°Indeed thebination of both looks and strength, however, it can only work in the material world.¡±

    When he wore the armor, Zhao Yao¡¯sbat power was doubled or sometimes multiplied by more.

    After wearing the armor, Zhao Yao looked at Roly Poly and Sheriff on the floor. ¡°Roly Poly, Sheriff.¡±

    Roly Poly can be seen leaping and crawling onto Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulder. Since he had the Titanium Dog Eye, Zhao Yao did not feed him a spicy strip but just kept him invisible beside him.

    Meanwhile, Sheriff also hid in Zhao Yao¡¯s clothes, prepared to provide any information he learnt from reading minds for Zhao Yao anytime.

    In Roly Poly¡¯s conscious, Project X said excitedly, ¡°It¡¯s so unexpected that the resurrection cat¡¯s traces were really found.¡±

    Roly Poly pouted and said, ¡°Shut up! What is there to be excited about. Beware of being heard by the Sheriff!¡±

    Project X said, ¡°What are you afraid of? I am in your subconscious, he cannot hear me. Just worry about your own disguise¡±

    ¡°And...¡± Zhao Yao looked at Matcha and said, ¡°Matcha, Lucifer and... You guyse into the Extradimensional Belly. Stand by to provide assistance.¡±

    Everything was ready.

    The next moment, Zhao Yao could be seen rising into the sky, parting the atmosphere, flying towards the west.

    On the African grasnds, a jeep elerated at high speed along the dirt road.

    It was trailed by ten modified cars. The men on the cars continuously raised their AKs, sending out rounds of bullets and shooting the people in the jeep as they screamed and shrieked.

    One of the females looked terrified and said, ¡°What is going on! Why do they want to attack us?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± The guide at the front said. ¡°This should be the territory of General ck¡¯s. There should not be any dispute going on!¡±

    While he was speaking, along with a soft sound, a bullet directly went through the guide¡¯s palm, scaring the people in the car.

    ¡°It¡¯s over. It¡¯s over, they are catching up!¡±

    Looking at the jeeps behind them getting closer and closer, something shed in front of everyone¡¯s eyes. A young man appeared in the car, stabbing the female host¡¯s kidney.

    Looking at everyone¡¯s stunned faces, ck Panther said, ¡°Stop looking at me, hurry and grab onto me!¡±

    The next moment, along with a short ckness, everyone in the jeep disappeared.

    While the jeep slowly came to a stop, the fighters closed in and saw the empty jeep, all of them were puzzled.

    While in a patch of grass roughly sixty to seventy meters away, ck Panther straightened his index fingers, making a sign for everyone to keep quiet.

    Shortly, as the other party left, ck Panther heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Almost, almost and we would have been killed by them. My abilities do not seem to work very well in the grasnds.¡±

    Lifting his head to look at everyone that was still not over the fight, ck Panther said, ¡°You guys came here to film online shows right? Xiao Ming made mee over and save you guys, are y¡¯all okay?¡±

    The young Native man by his side said angrily, ¡°Why do you have to stab me so deeply? I feel like you stabbed through my back.¡±

    Clearly he was the one hiding in the brush in advance, allowing ck Panther to teleport everyone to the young man after ck Panther teleported to them.

    ck Panther looked at everyone he had saved from the car and said, ¡°A war has started in this area. You guys need to quickly leave.¡±

    ¡°War? How did the war start?¡±

    ¡°Wasn¡¯t it alright before?¡±

    ¡°How do we go?¡±

    ¡°Will you send us?¡±

    Looking at the lost film crew, ck Panther could onlyfort them while thinking about the cause of this war in his heart.

    This is the territory of a famous general in Africa. However, a few days ago, an armed force made of dissidents suddenly rebelled, even though their soldiers have poor equipment and poorbat power, they have resurrecting powers.

    Every time, not long after being killed, they appear on the battlefield again.

    Even arge sum of soldiers and people, after seeing these resurrecting soldiers, chose to join and this made the rebel force¡¯s numbers snowball.

    The local military forces here were only able to bully the normal people. They lost their ground quickly, in the face of such arge number of immortal troops, losing arge portion of their territory.

    China also hadrge investments on thisnd. They quickly used their powers to retreat and evacuate the Chinese.

    ck Panther who was opening factories here with Xiao Ming, was hence contacted by Uncle Ho to help with the retreating.

    Next, ck Panther led everyone to hide in a secluded truck far away, driving everyone back to the embassy in the city. He only found out that the entire city was surrounded by rebel forces when he was going to the airport with everyone else.

    This city in the Northern part of Africa would only have been a small country town in China, thus, the entire city was already surroundedpletely with only ten thousand rebel forces.

    The entire embassy was in chaos.

    ck Panther rushed out of the crowd, to one of the soldiers and asked, ¡°Officer Ye? What is the situation? I heard that they surrounded the city?¡±

    Officer Ye shook his head and said, ¡°We have already contacted the rebel forces¡¯ leader Huai Te, however, he insisted in containing the entire city, even threatening us to recognise his rule as legal and surrender the general...¡±

    ck Panther asked, ¡°Then, how about us? So many of them are unable to get out!¡±

    Officer Ye said, ¡°Wait here for now. They do not dare to attack the embassy, our country had already sent warship over...¡±

    Just then, an explosion sounded, the rebel forces outside the city were attacking.

    In a moment, the entire city was engulfed in smoke, all sorts of bombs and bullets sound could be heard, reducing everyone in the embassy to tremors.

    ck Panther followed Officer Ye upstairs and saw the firing squad shing on the streets while consistently advancing in the direction of the embassy.

    Clearly, the forces on the general¡¯s side was being defeated, unable to fight against immortal rebel forces that sent out waves of suicidal attacks.

    The situation was worse than what ck Panther and Officer Ye expected. After half an hour, even the embassy was already surrounded by the rebel forces.

    Just then, a figure slowly appeared beside the two of them. ¡°How is the situation?¡±

    ck Panther and Officer Ye quickly turned around and saw a distorted and faint figure behind them. When they were just about to respond, they felt their body stiffen and were already unable to move.

    Zhao Yao said slowly, ¡°I am the assistance from China. What is the situation now?¡± Then, Officer Ye¡¯s phone rang, Zhao Yao controlled him to pick up the call and Officer Ye quickly became relieved.

    After telling Zhao Yao the situation, Officer Ye continued, ¡°We have our own apostles here too, what is your ability? If you all are able to cooperate with each other, the best thing to do would be to break out of the circle and send the civilians in the embassy out first...¡±

    ¡°Too troublesome...¡± Zhao Yao spoke at a slow speed. ¡°I will do it myself.¡±

    ¡°Let everyone close their eyes.¡±

    The next moment, a huge ball of light rose from Zhao Yao¡¯s head, like the moon surfacing from the horizon, immediately attracting countless attention from the people in the city.

    The rising white circle shocked the people at a distance.

    The battlefield was the ce where all the newest weapons would be used.

    Powers were a breakthroughpared to conventional weapons. From the first year they were awakened, they were used on the battlefield.

    This was the third year of the awakening of powers. As soldiers, even if they had not met with any yet, they would have heard about powers.

    After seeing the rising white ring, everyone knew that it wasn¡¯t something good. They reacted differently. Some wanted to turn and run, some took cover, while some were just at a loss...

    It didn¡¯t matter if it was the soldiers, apostles, officials, ormoners. No matter what reaction they had, all of them fell to the floor in an induced sleep of 20 seconds after seeing the light.

    The entire city fell silent. The heated war seemed to be stopped in a simple and brutal way by an invisible pair of hands.

    Officer Ye and ck Panther looked at each other and they were both spooked by the eerily silent city.

    ¡°What did this guy do?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the both of them and said, ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go. You can tell me the details on the way. What is the situation with the resurrecting army?¡±

    Zhao Yao came to this ce on the orders of the higher authorities. As he had tasked Uncle Ho to collect news of the Revival cat for him.

    However, due to Zhao Yao¡¯s change in status and his fake death, the job was handed to a higher authority. It was a department that Zhao Yao had never heard of.

    They had higher confidentiality and could guarantee that Zhao Yao¡¯s intel would not be leaked out. They could also create fake intel to mislead others. Like for the news of Zhao Yao¡¯s death this time, they covered the loopholes in the information when they took over.

    Zhao Yao rushed over when he heard the news. He also came to look for the Revival cat to revive Sphynx cat.

    Afterall the Rebel forces that rose suddenly had powers simr to resurrection and their location matched with the information given by Project X too.

    As Zhao Yao attacked, Officer Ye organized his men and started to escort themoners out.

    After 20 seconds of Sleep Induction, the entire city was ¡®bustling¡¯ again. Countless screams and shrieks rang across the sky and within them, there was beast like roaring.

    Themoners were uneasy when they heard the weirdmotion.

    However, as the white ring rose again, the city fell silent again.

    This time the Sleep Induction increased from 20 seconds to 40 seconds. It was obvious that the city was going to fall into the eerie silence again and again.

    Zhao Yao led ck Panther up onto the roof of the car and asked him about his mission escorting themoners.

    ck Panther recalled what he knew and told Zhao Yao everything he knew, including when he opened factory with Xiao Ming.

    ¡°Wait...¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°Xiao Ming and you were starting a business here? Opening a factory?¡±

    ck Panther said, ¡°You know Xiao Ming?¡±

    ¡°Kind of... I guess.¡±

    ck Panther answered bitterly. ¡°We came here as there many attractive policies here andbor was cheap. Xiao Ming and I worked hard to get our starting capital and wanted toe over. Who knew that the war would start not long after we opened our factory. Now, we can¡¯t continue running our factory. It is a loss everyday.¡±

    Zhao Yao patted ck Panther on the shoulder and said, ¡°It has been hard on you guys. Where is he? Is he okay?¡± Secretly, he was thinking, ¡°Xiao Ming can probably never pay back the 30 million...¡±

    Sheriff was thinking, ¡°Is he a devil...¡±

    ck Panther answered, ¡°He said he was going to be in the factory. He should be still in the factory.¡±

    Mission: Rescue Xiao Ming

    Mission Objective: Save Xiao Ming from the factory

    Reward: 1000 experience points

    Mission Penalty: None

    Looking at the Mission, Zhao Yao thought, ¡°It is better than nothing.¡± He asked ck Panther for the exact location of the factory and continued asking for more information about the rebels.

    ck Panther said, ¡°They were a bunch of robbers in the north. I heard that they found a supercat and then got the resurrecting powers.¡±

    Zhao Yao: ¡°How does the resurrecting work?¡±

    ¡°Physically, they are the same as any other ordinary human. They will still die if they were injured by knives, fire or guns.¡± ck Panther frowned and continued. ¡°However, their body will disappear after they die and they will return to the battlefield again. Hence, most of us think that they can¡¯t die and they can resurrect.¡±

    ¡°What? Resurrect?¡± Zhao Yao was determined to get his hands on this supercat.

    Then, the entire city was bustling again. The sleep induction was over.

    ck Panther continued, ¡°The government tried to capture them alive and study them, but it was to no avail. Afterall, it was a matter of powers. However, there gathered some intel. It seemed like they were all resurrected at the same spot...¡±

    Zhao Yao continued asking ck Panther about the rebels.

    Then, there was a gun fire and the rebels was driving their tank and ramming around the streets. When they saw the embassy troops, they charged over.

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes. ¡°Let me try it out.¡±

    The rebel was hysterical, their logic had been lowered drastically.

    Looking at the troops, they rushed over like hungry wolves.

    The leader shot towards the sky and yelled with his bloodshot eyes. ¡°Kill all of them!¡±

    Looking at the rebels, the troops were restless and when Officer Ye was about to retaliate, there was a cold gush of air.

    Zhao Yao stood in front of the troops and pulled out a golden sword. The sword was the center of the cold gush of air and Zhao Yao shed towards the rebels.

    Then, a white light rose and the white shock wave shot out. Itpletely destroyed everything within 200 meters of the troops.

    ck Panther watched Zhao Yao with cold chills running down his spine. Zhao Yao sheathed his golden sword as the 200 meter long street transformed into a pure white snowy world.

    All the rebels and their armored cars had be ice statues in the snow.

    After the supercats had grown in power and skill level, the effects of their transformation after taking the Spicy Cat Strips had evolved.

    The Ares sword in Zhao Yao¡¯s hand used to emit sword energy but now there was an additional frost attack.

    The frosted rebels disintegrated as their flesh turned to ash and vanished in the air.

    The bearded leader gradually faded as he red at Zhao Yao. ¡°Just you wait...¡± He turned into ash and vanished into the air.

    Zhao Yao surveyed the vanishing rebels and thought, ¡°This feeling...¡±

    After escorting the convoy to its destination, Zhao Yao flew towards the rebel¡¯s base camp.

    ...

    A fortress was seen in the Gobi desert.

    There was a 10 meter tall door in front of the fortress. It was dark inside and it looked like dark energy were swirling within.

    A few warriors were sporadically seen emerging from the huge door. They ran to one side to assemble as they grabbed their weapons and left in their armored cars.

    The bearded leader, who was killed by Zhao Yao, emerged from the door. He massaged his head as he looked on in a daze.

    War torn country... burning houses... shrill screams of children... fresh blood everywhere...

    The horrifying scenes shed in his mind. He grabbed his head as his eyes clouded.

    A ck warrior shouted, ¡°Simba, let¡¯s go! I want to kill him!¡±

    The bearded Simba recovered himself as his mind locked on the distorted image of Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Kill him?¡± Simba nodded as he smiled cruelly. ¡°I want him to know how terrifying it is to face a stalking undead devil.¡±

    He turned to look at the warriors emerging from the door and shouted, ¡°The few of you! Follow me!¡±

    On a cliff a few kilometers from the fortress, a youthy t on the ground as he spied on the fortress with his telescope.

    ¡°That¡¯s the Door of Evesting Life?¡± The youth said, ¡°Did you say that revived people emerge from it?¡±

    A domestic cat beside the youth said, ¡°That¡¯s the Door of Evesting Life. Arria¡¯s dead souls are revived inside. Unless we defeat Arria¡¯s body, the process of revival will not stop.¡±

    ¡°He can turn normal people into his Evesting Warriors. We have to stop him as it is a matter of time before he corrupts the entire.¡±

    The youth looked sadly at the scene as he pondered how he was embroiled in this conflict.

    He was getting up from bed, having his normal meal and ying his newputer game.

    When he was emptying his trash outside, he discovered a stray cat that had fainted.

    Looking at the pitiful cat, the youth Shreev gave him some unwanted meat and the result was unstoppable.

    Shreev could not stop caressing the cat and the cat rubbed Shreev incessantly.

    They went from the trash can, the doorway to the home sofa as Shreev caressed the cat from head to toe. He found that he could not be parted from the cat.

    The cat treated the ce like his home as he dined, slept and used the bathroom... Then he told Shreev that a world crisis wasing and only they could save the world.

    Looking at the fortress, Shreev felt it was unreal. ¡°Asser, shall we call the police?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the use of calling the police? Asser said, ¡°This can¡¯t be solved by humans!¡±

    He started recalling his memories as he said, ¡°Thousands of years ago, while the primitive men were toying with y, I was battling with Arria. We distorted the men¡¯s awareness, controlled their lives and deaths and changed human history. He possessed far greater power than the human civilization.¡±

    Shreev said, ¡°Don¡¯t we have supercats now? Perhaps we can seek help from supercats?¡±

    ¡°Normal supercats are of no use.¡± Asser said, ¡°They are just some lucky offspring of Arria. Though we were dormant for a few thousand years and our control of awareness has deteriorated, normal supercats were no match for us.¡±

    Asser¡¯s voice rang in Shreev¡¯s mind. After hearing Asser¡¯s words, Shreev did not feel like going.

    Shreev said, ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. Let¡¯s go home and get some sleep. If I stay upte, I¡¯ll get pimples.¡±

    Asser said furiously, ¡°Don¡¯t you understand what¡¯s happening? Your¡¯s in danger. We are the only ones able to save the world! The more awareness energy that Arria umtes, the more his strength would recuperate. Then, we will be unable to stop him!¡±

    ¡°We have to stop him before it¡¯s toote!¡±

    Shreev said reluctantly, ¡°Why did you find me? Let¡¯s look for my ssmate. He does bodybuilding and runs 20 kilometers daily. His arms are as thick as my thigh. Why don¡¯t you look for him?¡±

    Asser said, ¡°Do you think I¡¯ll like to find a useless person like you? It¡¯s because our superpowers¡¯patibility is high. It¡¯s not easy to find suchpatibility. Don¡¯t be mistaken, even if you borrow my superpower, I don¡¯t expect you to defeat Arria.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll confront him directly while you use superpower to assist me.¡±

    A small group of armored cars left. Asser perked up and said, ¡°Follow them! We can sneak into their midst and go inside the Door of Evesting Life.¡±

    Shreev said sadly, ¡°I¡¯ll be beaten to death or decapitated. I haven¡¯t gotten married and I don¡¯t want to die a virgin.¡±

    ¡°Nonsense!¡± Asser jumped on his head and pped hard. ¡°Start your car quickly or we may lose them.¡±

    Shreev drove Asser in a car as they followed the trails of Simba¡¯s armored car.

    Simba took out a cell phone and said, ¡°Hello? Where¡¯s their convoy? Are they found? I want to find their leader!¡±

    ¡°Oh? He left after arriving at the airport? He flew northwest?¡±

    Simba reversed his armored car and drove in the direction of Xiao Ming¡¯s factory.

    ...

    Zhao Yao flew at supersonic speed and left a trail of air vortex behind him as he circled in the sky before flying to Xiao Ming¡¯s factory.

    Hended at the factory entrance. His ears quivered and he discovered that the factory was empty.

    His figure shed and Zhao Yao¡¯s after-images appeared at the entrance, empty lots, grass patch, and the corridor before he arrived at the manager¡¯s office.

    His ears quivered and he heard a person¡¯s voice inside.

    ¡°Xiao Ming?¡± Zhao Yao pushed open the door as he shouted, ¡°Are you inside?¡±

    He saw Xiao Ming struggling as he was hung from a rope.

    Zhao Yao was stunned. He immediately shed, cut the rope loose and caught him on the ground. ¡°Are you killing yourself?!¡±

    Xiao Ming covered his throat and said dejectedly, ¡°I... I...¡± He turned his head to look at Zhao Yao and was frightened.

    Zhao Yao got Roly Poly to activate the invisibility but it was only partial invisibility. The revealed parts of his body showed distorted flesh and Xiao Ming got a fright.

    Xiao Ming screamed and backed up as Zhao Yao said, ¡°I¡¯m an apostle. I¡¯m using invisibility. Don¡¯t be frightened.¡±

    Xiao Ming recovered himself and looked at Zhao Yao. ¡°Who are you? What are you doing here?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°ck Panther asked me to save you. What happened to you? Even if you fail at business, there¡¯s no need to kill yourself.¡±

    Xiao Ming was disgruntled and said, ¡°Fail at business? Do you know how much money I owe?¡± His eyes were clouded as he recalled his memories. ¡°Ie from a rich family. Ever since I met this one person, I was cursed. My family went bankrupt and all my funds were frozen.

    I participated in a promising business venture in Pakistan and was cheated of my remaining money. I sold my house to invest in stocks, hoping for aeback.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°I told you that business venture was not reliable.¡±

    Xiao Ming said, ¡°I went through the historic stock market crash and lost all my money.¡±

    ¡°I told you not to sell your house.¡± Zhao Yao sighed in his thoughts. ¡°You are a stock market dummy.¡±

    Xiao Ming said, ¡°Later I was duped into joining a pyramid scheme and almost couldn¡¯t get out.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Why don¡¯t you mention how I saved you?¡±

    Xiao Ming said, ¡°From that moment onwards, I turned over a new leaf and stopped taking short cuts. I started from scratch. I coborated with KFC, then Mcdonalds, Burger King and Wace. In the day time, I went to the fresh market to get investments.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Get investments?¡±

    Xiao Ming said, ¡°We called this a multi-area personality investment, a charity venture to hit the target¡¯s weak points. By having a face to face discussion, we eliminate psychological barriers. We discuss money with friends and make friends with money.¡±

    Zhao Yao was befuddled and asked, ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    Xiao Ming said, ¡°Sometimes, outsiders call this begging.¡±

    ¡°D*mn, this is outright begging.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°Your starting from scratch is absurd.¡±

    ¡°This is called a step a footprint,¡± Xiao Ming said. ¡°Finally I umted enough money. I heard from ck Panther that themoners in Africa were cheap and easily conned... cough... warm and friendly. Africa¡¯s rich innd and resources so I came here to set up a factory...¡±

    Xiao Ming sighed. ¡°Two days after the factory was set up, a war broke out. The workers fled and the orders dried up... The factory closed down and I owed someone in China a few million dors. When I think of this debt, I can¡¯t sleep and eat...¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°... Talk nicely with him, he will understand.¡±

    Xiao Ming said, ¡°Really? If I got him to invest in this factory, would he agree?¡±

    Zhao Yao stood up abruptly and looked at the main door as his ears quivered. ¡°Someone¡¯s here. Don¡¯t move, I¡¯ll protect you.¡±

    The bearded Simba was at the main entrance. He sneered as ten more armored cars arrived and hundreds of warriors disembarked.

    Behind a rock a few hundred meters from Simba, Shreev and Asser got down from their car and peeped at their targets.

    Shreev said, ¡°They seem to be looking for this factory?¡±

    Asser said, ¡°I can¡¯t let them hurt the innocent. I am going after them. Follow my instructions to use your superpower.¡±

    ¡°Hey, wait, I haven¡¯t...¡±

    Asser charged out like a lightning for more than a hundred meters and gradually slowed down. Then he fell to the ground motionless.

    Shreev was stunned. ¡°Why is he not moving?¡± He waited for a while and found Asser motionless. He was puzzled. ¡°Did something happen to him?¡±

    After thinking for a while, he walked slowly to Asser¡¯s side and said, ¡°What¡¯s happened?¡±

    Asser turned his head with his distorted face. He was full of tears as he said, ¡°My leg! My leg¡¯s cramped! This body¡¯s too weak!¡±

    Seeing Asser in tears like a crybaby, Shreev was very doubtful about them saving the world.

    ¡°Why don¡¯t we go home. I¡¯ll make some beef steak for you.¡±

    Asser shook his head. ¡°No! Let me defeat Arria before that.¡± He stood up in pain as he looked at Simba and said, ¡°Forget it, this distance is sufficient.¡±

    Threads that transformed from Asser¡¯s blood oozed out from his body. Like blood snakes, they squirmed towards Simba.

    Before Asser attacked, he saw a grotesque man walk out from the factory.

    At the factory entrance, Simba and his men smiled cruelly at Zhao Yao¡¯s appearance. ¡°You thought you are able to escape? After offending us, you would be pursued forever till the end of the world!¡±

    ¡°Great, you are evesting and indestructible. Aren¡¯t you an unlimited experience points juicer?¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed sinisterly. ¡°If I¡¯m not satisfied, all of you won¡¯t be able to leave.¡±

    ¡°This is not what we expected. Why is hisugh more badass than us?¡±

    After hearing Zhao Yao¡¯sugh, Simba and his warriors felt a strange terror as if they had gotten everything wrong.

    The uneasy Simba and his warriors raised their guns to attack but Zhao Yao had shed and appeared in front of a warrior, who knelt down on the ground, trembling as he covered his stomach.

    Zhao Yao activated Time Freeze and touched the warrior¡¯s belly lightly. Then he resumed time.

    ¡°Great, I can use these people for testing my new tactics.¡±

    After a warrior went down, Zhao Yao did not attack but merely shed and dodged their attacks as if he was waiting for something.

    ¡°What¡¯s happening? Why didn¡¯t the cooldown period reduce?¡± Zhao Yao dodged a bullet and extended his hand to grab a bullet aimed at his groin. He shouted furiously, ¡°Hey! Don¡¯t you know how to aim? Why aim at my groin?¡±

    He dodged another wave of bullets and took out his cellphone to message Matcha, ¡°What¡¯s happening? Are you doing your job?¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t I say to help me once I activate Time Freeze?¡±

    ¡°Are you yingputer games?¡±

    In the Extradimensional Belly, Matcha, who was ying Mobile Legends on his cellphone, threw down his cellphone as though he was electrocuted. He shouted anxiously, ¡°Lucifer! Lucifer? Come out and do your job!¡±

    Latte pounced and caught hold of the falling cellphone. He stuck out his thumb and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, leave the rest to me.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll leave it to you, Latte!¡± Matcha said gratefully, ¡°Don¡¯t let my winning rate of 40% drop! It concerns our futurepetition career!¡±

    Milk Tea rolled his eyes and felt a headache. ¡°I can¡¯t let Latte be addicted toputer games. I have to think of a solution.¡±

    With Matcha¡¯s call, Lucifer ran over and shouted, ¡°What¡¯s up, Matcha? Any matters?¡±

    ¡°Silence!¡± Matcha gestured for him to keep silent and concentrated on his hearing. Lucifer was puzzled.

    Time froze and resumed. At the first instance of time resuming, Matcha raised his paw and pped Lucifer¡¯s face hard.

    ¡°Ouch! Why did you hit me?¡±

    Matcha jumped on Lucifer¡¯s face and punched him viciously. Latte was terrified.

    Latter asked in shock, ¡°What¡¯s happening? What are you doing Matcha? Why are you hitting this cat?¡±

    Milk Tea said, ¡°It¡¯s alright. Don¡¯t worry. They¡¯re just fooling around.¡±

    Latte pointed at Lucifer and said, ¡°But... but the cat¡¯s face is bleeding!¡±

    Matcha¡¯s paws were filled with fresh blood. Every punch on Lucifer¡¯s face caused blood to spurt and his body to convulse.

    Latte said in fear, ¡°He... he¡¯s dying.¡±

    Milk Tea said, ¡°It¡¯s alright. Brother Matcha knows what he¡¯s doing.¡±

    Latte looked at Lucifer¡¯s distorted face and thought, ¡°This is going beyond limits. His brain juices areing out!¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s with the reaction of the surrounding cats? Why did everyone act as though everything¡¯s fine?¡±

    ¡°Perhaps... perhaps this warm and cosy family is actually a gang-rted n? An evil power?¡±

    Latte looked at Milk Tea and Matcha who was pounding Lucifer. He felt that they were extremely evil.

    ...

    In the material realm, Zhao dodged the bullets and felt the changes in Time Freeze.

    ¡°Matcha¡¯s attacks are reducing the cooling down period.¡±

    Since Matcha was upgraded to Level 10, he had the ability to reduce the cooling period when he attacked physically after the end of Time Freeze.

    Zhao Yao used up 10 seconds of Time Freeze and Matcha beat Lucifer for four seconds. The cooling down period disappeared.

    ¡°Very good. In this case, I¡¯ll let Matcha stay in the Extradimensional Belly to reduce the cooling down period. Time Freeze became more effective.¡±

    Zhao Yao shed and Time Freeze ended. Tens of rebels screamed in pain as they flew out like flour sacks andnded immobilized on the ground with broken bones.

    A few secondster, all the rebels lost their mobility. Zhao Yao focused his mind and the guns flew from the rebels¡¯ hands as they were gathered by the Deflective Field and thrown on the ground.

    Simba looked fearfully at Zhao Yao but remembered his evesting body and shouted viciously, ¡°This is not over yet. Just you wait! We¡¯ll return! We¡¯ll pursue you...¡±

    ¡°Finished? I¡¯m not done yet. This is only the beginning.¡± Zhao Yao snapped his fingers and a dark Dimension Portal opened behind him.

    ¡°Dust Ball, round all of them up and squeeze them of all avable experience points. Then let them return to revive.¡±

    Dust Ball walked merrily out of the portal and shouted into the Extradimensional Belly, ¡°Brother, collect our goods!¡±

    In the Extradimensional Belly, Latte looked at the seriously wounded rebels being pulled in and became more rmed. ¡°What are they doing?¡±

    ¡°This ce is totally different from what I expected!¡±

    ...

    In the material realm, Asser and Shreev hid in a distance and witnessed the entire scene.

    Asser shook his head. ¡°This man¡¯s too meddlesome. Can¡¯t he just run away? I¡¯ve followed the rebels in vain.¡±

    Asser¡¯s n was to use his superpower to sneak into Simba¡¯s team and find a chance to enter the Door of Evesting Life. Then he would defeat Arria and stop the power of the Door of Evesting Life from expanding.

    An unknown apostle appeared and wrecked his n.

    Asser shook his head and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go and find another target.¡±

    A sound came from behind his back. ¡°After watching for so long, aren¡¯t you saying something before leaving?¡±

    Asser and Shreev turned their heads and saw Zhao Yao smiling behind them.

    ¡°Your constitution¡¯s very strong but is useless when faced with real strong cats.¡± Asser nced at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°I advise you to leave this country. There would be more and more powerful soldiers pursuing you. You won¡¯t be able to resist forever.¡±

    ¡°This guy...¡± Zhao Yao was stunned by the sound he felt in his mind. It was different from his telepathicmunication with his supercats. He took out his Battle Scanner and put on the monocle to scrutinize Asser and Shreev.

    Shreev was trash while Asser was glowing with light and his head showed Level 12.

    ¡°Level 12 supercat? Wrong...¡± Zhao Yao was shocked as he looked at Asser. ¡°Besides Book, other supercats do not have level indication. He has the power of awareness and is equivalent to Level 12 Catherine.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the Level 12 Asser and was curious. Besides his supercats and the alien cats, it was his first time encountering other cats with the power of awareness.

    ¡°Sheriff, are you able to read his thoughts?¡±

    Sheriff, who was hidden in Zhao Yao¡¯s chest frowned as he listened intently with his ears. He shook his ears and said, ¡°Not very clear. I could only hear simple phrases.

    From the meeting until now, I heard beef steak ten times, cramps five times and the name Arria once.¡±

    ¡°Beef steak? Cramps? Arria?¡± Zhao Yao was puzzled, ¡°What¡¯s the meaning?¡±

    Sheriff was unable to hear all his thoughts and it was just as Zhao Yao expected. After control of awareness, supercats were resistant to superpowers. A Level 12 supercat was able to resist most of Sheriff¡¯s mind reading.

    For Level 15 Diana, Sheriff could only hear one or two phrases in an hour.

    Asser could not stand Zhao Yao¡¯s scrutiny and turned his head away and said, ¡°Shreev, let¡¯s go. Arria could recover his full power any time. Let¡¯s go and stop him.¡±

    Zhao Yao interjected and said, ¡°Are you dealing with the rebels? I can help.¡±

    Asser sighed and said, ¡°You don¡¯t understand how dangerous it is. Listen to me and leave quickly.¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled and didn¡¯t reply. Seeing Asser and Shreev leave, he talked to his cats telepathically, ¡°Dust Ball, follow them.¡±

    Dust Ball frowned and said, ¡°Going after a new cat?¡±

    Behind Zhao Yao¡¯s back, Dust Ball controlled the Dimension Portal and shed continuously as she followed Asser and Shreev.

    ¡°Good, I¡¯ll find themter. I¡¯llplete Xiao Ming¡¯s mission so that there are no other problems.¡±

    Zhao Yao shed and appeared in the factory. He found Xiao Ming and said, ¡°You saw that. This ce is watched by the rebels. Though I¡¯ve defeated them but they are likely to return. You are in danger here. Leave with me.¡±

    Xiao Ming hesitated. ¡°If I go, won¡¯t the factory be destroyed by them?¡±

    Xiao Ming¡¯s point was valid. If the rebels were unable to defeat Zhao Yao, they might blow up the factory.

    Zhao Yao could not possibly keep watch at the factory the whole day. He said, ¡°If you don¡¯t follow me, I¡¯ll tear down the factory.¡±

    Xiao Ming was speechless. He thought angrily, ¡°What¡¯s with him? Shouldn¡¯t he console me? Why is he tearing down the factory?¡±

    Xiao Ming shook his head and said, ¡°My life depends on this factory! I¡¯m not leaving! I¡¯m staying with the factory for life and death!¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Tsk.¡±

    Xiao Ming turned his head to look at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Did you tsk at me?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°No.¡±

    Xiao Ming said, ¡°I¡¯m sure I heard it. What¡¯s with your impatience?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Tsk.¡±

    ¡°You did it again!¡± Xiao Ming looked suspiciously at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Since you¡¯ve returned, you¡¯ve be impatient...¡±

    ¡°Enough.¡± Zhao Yao waved and said impatiently, ¡°You set up a business because of money. Give a call to your debtor and exin your situation. Your debtor¡¯s not a scumbag. Perhaps he¡¯ll forgive you. Then you don¡¯t have to worry about the factory.¡±

    Xiao Ming said doubtfully, ¡°Huh? Really?¡±

    ¡°Of course,¡± Zhao Yao said. ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, give a call. It¡¯s harmless to try.¡±

    Xiao Ming took out his cell phone and thought for a while before drumming up his courage to make the call.

    Zhao Yao activated his power of illusion and maintained his current look. Then he pulled out his cellphone and received the call.

    Xiao Ming said, ¡°Zhao Yao? It¡¯s a long time... about the money I owed you...¡±

    Zhao Yao eximed and said, ¡°You¡¯re not paying up?¡±

    Xiao Ming quickly said, ¡°No, no, I¡¯ll think of ways to pay you...¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°I¡¯m just joking. We¡¯re good friends. Why would I force you to pay up?¡±

    Xiao Ming was moved. ¡°Zhao... Zhao Yao, you¡¯re my good buddy. I¡¯m setting up a factory in Africa. The business environment is good and the country¡¯s peaceful. Thebor¡¯s cheap and gullible. I¡¯m able to earn a few million every month. Are you interested in investing?¡±

    Zhao Yao was speechless.

    ¡°Don¡¯t keep quiet,¡± Xiao Ming said. ¡°Don¡¯t think that because I lost my previous investment that this one¡¯s no good. This time¡¯s a good chance to invest.¡±

    ¡°Do you know how many condoms are needed in Africa every year? The people are gued with security and sickness issues. They can¡¯t even relieve themselves safely! They are eager for us to rescue them.

    This is an undeveloped virginnd! Whoever controls the ce bes Africa¡¯s king!¡±

    Zhao Yao turned around and looked at the babbling Xiao Ming. He hung up the cellphone and pped Xiao Ming¡¯s head.

    Xiao Ming recovered himself and looked at the distorted figure as he asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°I let you plead but what nonsense are you saying?¡±

    Xiao Ming was enlightened and said, ¡°My debtor¡¯s a super rich tycoon with lots of money but very stingy. If I asked him to waive my debt, he would not agree but it¡¯s different if I discuss about earning money.

    If he¡¯s willing to invest, then I won¡¯t need to worry about my business in Africa! I might be the condom king and the second Durex!¡±

    Xiao Ming looked at Zhao Yao and smiled sinisterly, ¡°Since you¡¯re powerful, perhaps you know him too. If you help me, I¡¯ll give you 0.1% shares of mypany. Don¡¯t underestimate this 0.1%. You are in control of tens of thousands of these people¡¯s happiness.¡±

    ¡°This guy...¡± Zhao Yao looked at Xiao Ming and knocked him out with a bang. He pulled Xiao Ming¡¯s leg as he flew towards the airport. ¡°I¡¯ll bring him along.¡±

    After Zhao Yao sent Xiao Ming to the airport, the mission of rescuing Xiao Ming waspleted and he obtained 2000 experience points. Zhao Yao shifted his focus on Simba and the warriors in the Extradimensional Belly.

    They were tied andid on the ground. They were being squeezed dry of experience points by the supercats.

    Zhao Yao returned to the Extradimensional Belly and saw Elizabeth, Lucifer, and Ares, who were below Level 10, using the rebels to earn experience points. Zhao Yao nodded his head in satisfaction.

    ¡°Buck up, upgrade to Level 10 so that I can let you evolve.¡±

    After encouraging the cats, Zhao Yao curled his finger and Simba, who wasying on the ground, flew over.

    ¡°I¡¯ll ask and you answer.¡± Zhao Yao looked at Simba and said, ¡°Where are you revived?¡±

    Simba said, ¡°I¡¯ll never let you know!¡±

    ¡°Are there requirements for revival? What¡¯s the limit count?¡±

    Simba said, ¡°Hahaha, kill me. I won¡¯t tell you even if you kill me.¡±

    ¡°What does your supercat look like? Where is he?

    Simba said, ¡°Pooh!¡±

    ¡°Do you know about the power of awareness?¡±

    Simba said, ¡°Humph!¡±

    ¡°What superpower does your supercat have?¡±

    Simba looked at Zhao Yao as though he was a fool and said, ¡°Do you think I¡¯ll tell you?¡±

    Zhao Yao ignored Simba¡¯ replies and continued asking, ¡°Do you have any weaknesses? What could stop your revival?¡±

    Simba scorned him and showed his tough face as he intended to stonewall all his questions.

    Simba was not aware that his heart-felt answers to Zhao Yao¡¯s questions were secretly read by Sheriff, who informed Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Door of Evesting Life? Hidden in the Gobi desert?¡± Zhao Yao squeezed his chin as he considered the information he had received from Sheriff. ¡°Simba hasn¡¯t seen their supercat. They weren¡¯t apostles and the supercat didn¡¯t lend them any superpower. The supercat only used his superpower on them.¡±

    ¡°They are clueless about their supercat.¡±

    ¡°As for the weakness... persons revived from the Door of Evesting Life are afraid of this item?¡±

    After Zhao Yao knew what he wanted to know, he looked at Simba and pointed his finger. Simba turned to ash, vanished in the air and was revived.

    ...

    The darkness within the Door of Evesting Life swirled and a pale palm crawled out followed by a naked body.

    Simba walked step by step from the Door of Evesting Life. His eyes emitted cold blue rays and he opened his mouth as he felt the body change with surprise.

    ¡°Ah!¡±

    A scream was heard as a frost wave exploded from his body and froze everything in a radius of 500 meters.

    Simba lifted his head and saw the restless swirling inside the Door of Evesting Life. Frost covered the huge door.

    ¡°The Door of Evesting Life has evolved?¡± Simba pinched his palm and felt a shocking stream of frost at his disposal. He could freeze his enemies in an instant.

    He heard noises behind him and turned around to look. His fellow warriors were revived. Their eyes emitted cold rays and their breaths were frosty.

    Simba shouted, ¡°Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll kill that guy!¡±

    A warrior hesitated and said, ¡°Simba, let¡¯s forget it.¡±

    Another warrior was fearful as he said, ¡°He and his supercats are too perverted, cruel, and evil. Let¡¯s not antagonize them.¡±

    ¡°What are you afraid of?¡± Simba was angry and said, ¡°We are immortal! He can¡¯t kill us! He should be afraid and he¡¯ll live forever in our shadows!¡±

    Simba changed his tone and said, ¡°He doesn¡¯t know our weakness and he wouldn¡¯t be able to guess it. He can only tremble and wait for our pursuit... What are you afraid of?¡±

    As Simba tried to boost morale, a shrill beastly roar came from the Door of Evesting Life.

    Undead warhorses galloped from the door, leaving a trail of frost behind them.

    With a loud meow, a cold but imposing voice came from within.

    ¡°My riders, capture more men. I need more souls! And more power of awareness!¡±

    Simba rode on an undead warhorse which leaped and galloped into the sky.

    Simbaughed excitedly, ¡°What are you waiting for?¡±

    Simba and the warriors rode on the warhorses in the direction of the factory. The warhorses galloped in the air and left trails of frost in the air.

    ...

    On a cliff a few kilometers away, Asser and Shreev surveyed the Door of Evesting Life. Asser frowned and said, ¡°The Door of Evesting Life has evolved. Arria¡¯s power has recuperated a bit. We have to make full use of our time.¡±

    Seeing the riders galloping at speed, Asser said, ¡°Follow them.¡±

    Asser¡¯s back spurted out blood and it coagted into crimson wings. He brought Shreev along as he flew in pursuit.

    Seeing Asser speeding off, Dust Ball tried to control the Dimension Portal to catch up as she shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao, their speed¡¯s too fast! I can¡¯t catch up.¡±

    Zhao Yao walked over and said, ¡°No problem. Leave the rest to me. You¡¯ll go to the other side to prepare the Dimension Portal.¡±

    Seeing Zhao Yao setting up the other location, Dust Ball became glum and shouted, ¡°What¡¯re you doing?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s not going to affect the Extradimensional Belly.¡±

    Zhao Yao stepped out from the Dimension Portal and became invisible using Roly Poly¡¯s superpower. He ran in pursuit of Asser.

    If Zhao Yao flew, he would be discovered. Hence he chose to tail them on the ground.

    Zhao Yao had no intention to confront him directly as the supercat had control of the power of awareness. Zhao Yao intended to collect more information before making his move.

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes like a telescope adjusting its range. He could clearly see Asser and Shreev who were up thousands of meters high in the sky.

    A few hundred meters before and below them, Simba and his warriors galloped without discovering Asser in pursuit.

    Zhao Yao noticed Asser¡¯s wing trembling as if tiny objects floated out.

    Thest rider of Simba¡¯s group froze for a while before running again.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Superpower to control blood? Remote controlling of people? Using this superpower to deal with the evesting riders is effective.¡±

    As expected by Zhao Yao, the controlled warrior closed in on other warriors, who froze and became controlled. His control spread like a gue and the whole legion was controlled.

    When Simba discovered that he was controlled, it was toote.

    Asser brought along Shreev as they appeared in front of the riders. One of the riders was forced to strip in order for Shreev to wear his costume while Asser hid in another rider¡¯s clothing. The flying riders made a turn and flew towards the Door of Evesting Life.

    Asser controlled the riders¡¯ legion and charged headlong into the door with dark swirling vortex. He had entered the interior of the fortress.

    Zhao Yao hid within the Dimension Portal as he gazed at the dark door for half a day and hesitated whether to enter.

    Asser must be very familiar with his opponent to dash headlong into the door.

    Zhao Yao was not aware of the supercat behind the Door of Evesting Life. Nobody knew what preparations Asser had done and what kind of superpower to expect.

    He decided not to intrude into unfamiliar superpower realm.

    After pondering, he got hold of Doll. ¡°Doll, send some nano bugs into the door to take a look.¡±

    ...

    Within the Door of Evesting Life, it was pitch ck and there was an ominous and terrifying atmosphere. The ceiling reflected subtle fluorescent lighting, barely providing sufficient light to be able to make out the environment.

    Shreev walked inside and could not help saying, ¡°Why is this ce built like a tomb?¡±

    Asser said, ¡°Arria¡¯s very afraid of humans but he likes this gothic style which is mouldy, wet, and stuffy, so he had cat moss every year. He¡¯s such a fool.¡±

    Shreev was surprised and said, ¡°You¡¯ve got cat moss too...¡±

    ¡°Of course! We¡¯re using the Earth cat¡¯s body. If the cat grows cat moss, we¡¯ll have it too!¡± Asser said, ¡°Enough of idle chat. When we find Arria, follow my instructions. Do not take unnecessary actions.¡±

    Shreev said softly, ¡°You¡¯ve been talking all this time.¡±

    Asser walked round and round theplex passageways as though they were in abyrinth. Shreev could not help asking, ¡°Why are we walking in circles? Do you know the way...¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t,¡± Asser said. ¡°But I can feel the guy¡¯s boundary. We are nearing him. Prepare to activate your superpower.¡±

    Twenty minutester, Shreev looked at a fridge and said, ¡°This is our third time passing by this fridge. Are you able to find him?¡±

    Asser was puzzled. ¡°Something¡¯s not right. It should be here. Why aren¡¯t we finding him?¡±

    Shreev rolled his eyes as he lost confidence in Asser¡¯s senses. He walked to the fridge and said, ¡°Forget it, I¡¯m thirsty. I¡¯ll take a drink and rest for a while.¡±

    Asser said, ¡°No, we don¡¯t have time for rest! The Door of Evesting Life Is getting stronger every moment! We have to stop him!¡±

    ¡°Perhaps you¡¯re too tired. Take a rest and you might be able to sense him better?¡± Shreev walked to the fridge and opened it. ¡°I wonder if there¡¯s coke...¡±

    Shreev froze as he opened the fridge. ¡°Hey, Asser, is this the one?¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Asser turned his head and saw a long-furred Persian cat curled in the fridge. The cloudy eyes were opened widely and looked as though the cat did not sleep at all.

    The Persian cat looked nkly at Shreev and said, ¡°You are?¡±

    Shreev mmed the fridge door and flew to Asser¡¯s side.

    The fridge was forced open with a bang as an angry Persian cat walked out. His body emitted freezing air streams and he had an ice crown on his head. There were numerous ghost figures struggling and distorting behind him.

    ¡°You¡¯ve intruded into my home, kidnapped my men, and opened my fridge without my permission!¡±

    ¡°Unforgivable.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m going to destroy you! Humans!¡±

    Shreev could not resist saying, ¡°Because of this small matter, you are destroying mankind...¡±

    Just as Arria appeared, Asser shot out countless blood rays from his body towards Arria.

    ¡°It¡¯s you? Asser!¡± Arria roared in fury and the ghostly figures behind him shot out and collided with the blood shadows.

    ...

    Outside the Door of Evesting Life, Zhao Yao watched the video sent by the nano bugs. ¡°Oh, they¡¯re fighting.¡±

    Watching the images with blood rays, ghostly figures and cold streams flying around, Zhao Yaomented, ¡°It¡¯s hard to determine theirbat power. The power of awareness can¡¯t be determined by appearances.¡±

    Meow! Meow! The two cats fought and rolled together. The blood shadows turned into numerous paws that pped his opponent. The ghostly figures turned into countless paws that pped. It looked as though they were having a pping match.

    ¡°Fighting like small kids,¡± Zhao Yaomented.

    Shreev also activated his superpower and fresh blood spurted out from his body. He was as pale as a sheet. His attack was too sudden and Arria was bound by his blood.

    ¡°You¡¯ve done well Shreev. Bind him tightly!¡± Asser roared and his blood shadows curled around Arria as the controlled Simba and the warriors¡¯ charges towards Arria.

    As Arria was about to be subdued, sounds of galloping rang in the air. Walls disintegrated as a horde of riders with undead warhorses arrived to rescue Arria.

    Both sides escted their fighting and causedrge portions of the fortress to copse. Tens of thousands of riders arrived continuously to attack Asser and Shreev.

    The controlled Simba and the warriors were stampeded until they became meat sauce and they vanished for revival again.

    Arria escaped from Shreev¡¯s bondage and ordered his riders to surround Asser.

    Asser did not give up. His body emitted countless blood streams and controlledrge amount of riders.

    The blood streams expanded and contracted as the target¡¯s life force was drained. Asser grew veryrge and was filled with blood spikes like a scarlet hedgehog. He brought along his expanding controlled riders and charged into Arria¡¯s army, forcing his opponents to flee.

    This was the base of the Door of Evesting Life. The killed riders were immediately revived. All other riders were ordered by Arria to kill themselves, revive and surround Asser and Shreev.

    The battle became an endurance contest.

    Simbaughed loudly as he charged and was impaled by the blood spikes. He fell in front of Asser but he smiled and said, ¡°You can¡¯t win!¡± He vanished in a trail of smoke.

    ¡°Is that a deadlock?¡± Zhao Yao squeezed his chin and thought, ¡°I¡¯ve watched enough. It¡¯s time for me to show off.¡±

    Zhao Yao appeared instantly in the middle of the battlefield. The Deflective field bounced and killed arge portion of the revived riders.

    He turned back and looked at Asser and said, ¡°I¡¯ll help you.¡±

    Simba¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw Zhao Yao as he was overjoyed.

    With the army¡¯s siege and Arria leading the battle personally, Zhao Yao dared to show himself. Was he tired of living?

    Simba ran to Arria¡¯s side and mumbled a series of words. He told Arria the story of how he and Zhao Yao had fought.

    Arria gazed at Zhao Yao and ordered, ¡°Kill him.¡±

    A horde of riders changed direction and began to siege Zhao Yao.

    Asser frowned at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°What are you doing here? Run away immediately. This is not a battle for you.¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled as his monocle, the Battle Scanner, showed Level 12 above Arria¡¯s head.

    Aspared to the Level 15 Diana, Arria and Asser were like her brothers. It was a good exercise to test out fighting with them using her power of awareness.

    Time froze and Zhao Yao shed. He appeared behind Arria and squeezed his head. Arria smiled coldly as he convulsed and dropped dead.

    The dark streams of the Door of Evesting life swirled and Arria appeared once again. ¡°Meow hahaha, I¡¯m evesting!¡±

    Seeing the surrounding riders, Zhao Yao froze time and shed. He pointed at Arria¡¯s head and killed him.

    Even though Arria was killed, his superpower prevailed and the riders continued charging. When they were killed, they revived within the Door of Evesting Life.

    Asser sighed and said, ¡°It¡¯s of no use. Normal physical attacks on him are meaningless as he can kill himself in order to be revived. His awareness can only be damaged by using the power of awareness to attack him.¡±

    Zhao Yao dodged and evaded the surrounding attacks while he stabbed Arria with the Dragon ying Saber but there was no effect. The +4 Dragon ying Saber was unable to get past the defenses of a Level 12 awareness.

    Zhao Yao was surrounded by an army of undead legions. Riders with swords, staves, machine guns and grenades to attack Zhao Yao were everywhere. Some riders even used suicide attacks. Zhao Yao was annoyed by their attacks.

    Zhao Yao was dodging attacks while trying to break out of the siege. Simbaughed mockingly. ¡°Idiot, you¡¯ve done the most foolish thing in your life!¡±

    In Simba¡¯s eyes, Arria¡¯s undead legion was invincible. No matter the army or apostle, when faced with such relentless attacks, they would sumb in a matter of time as nobody knew the weakness of the undead legion.

    Under the relentless attacks of the elite riders, Zhao Yao was buckling under the pressure. It was his first time encountering such arge number of opponents.

    Zhao Yao attacked while fending off the riders. He switched to Dust Ball¡¯s superpower and said, ¡°Dust Ball, act now.¡±

    Dust Ball said angrily, ¡°Why are you asking me to act? Why don¡¯t you let Catherine induce them to sleep?¡±

    The only supercats with power of awareness were Level 12 Catherine and Level 15 Diana. The remaining supercats¡¯ superpower were ineffective against Aria.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°I can¡¯t kill them with sleep. I have to get rid of their bodies¡¯ superpower.¡±

    Dust Ball frowned as her face creased like a chrysanthemum. ¡°I don¡¯t want to!¡±

    Arria, who was caught in Zhao Yao¡¯s hands, turned to dust. A new Arria emerged from the Door of Evesting Life. ¡°Meow, hahaha, I¡¯ve told you that I¡¯m invincible. No matter what you use to control or wound me, there¡¯s no way for you to stop my superpower.¡±

    ¡°Humph.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°Elizabeth, control Dust Ball.¡±

    Zhao Yao went into the Dimension Door and vanished from view.

    Arria squinted his eyes. ¡°Dimension superpower? Running away?¡± He turned his head to look at Asser and smiled cunningly. ¡°It¡¯s your turn Asser!¡±

    Asser¡¯s blood spikes on his back trembled. ¡°We shall see who prevails!¡±

    Arria said angrily, ¡°You are still fierce? Don¡¯t you remember your mistake?¡±

    ¡°My mistake? Where have I gone wrong?¡± Asser replied furiously. ¡°When I woke up that morning, I saw youing out from Ashley¡¯s room and you were licking the fur near your bottom!¡±

    Arria said, ¡°I told you it was a misunderstanding. I went into the wrong room.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t believe you!¡±

    The two supercats shed again. Arria was able to revive his warriors while Asser was able to absorb his opponents¡¯ life force while attacking. With Shreev¡¯s help in absorbing life forces, the battle became a test of endurance.

    Asser frowned and gaped as he lifted his head to look.

    A hole appeared in the sky and Zhao Yao stood by the Dimension Portal and said coldly, ¡°Flood the Seven-Nation coalition!¡±

    Bam! Large amount of rubbish flowed out from the portal like a waterfall and flooded the Door of Evesting Life.

    ¡°No!!¡± Arria screamed, ¡°Stop him!¡±

    He ordered the riders to stop the rain of feces but he saw a rider charge forward, lose his superpower, and flee after being drenched by the feces.

    The riders tried to freeze the feces as it was falling but they were quickly overwhelmed as there were simply too much feces.

    Simba looked in shock at Zhao Yao. ¡°How... how did he know about our weakness?¡± Simba and his riders retreated in a panic as they would lose their superpower if drenched in feces. They watched helplessly as the Door of Evesting Life was flooded with massive amounts of feces.

    Arria was so furious that he trembled with rage.

    He knew about the weakness of his undead legion. Once they were in contact with feces, they would lose their superpower and be normal people.

    Even if his opponent knew about this weakness, he would be unable to disperse enough feces to affect his agile undead war horses and riders.

    What was happening with the guy at the sky? Did he have the excretion superpower of the Heavens? A guy with feces superpower has appeared on Earth? How is Arria going to survive?

    He pointed at Zhao Yao who was in the sky and screamed, ¡°Kill him!¡±

    Simba led the remaining undead riders as they charged towards Zhao Yao who did not simply defend himself.

    The tide had changed. Zhao Yao pointed with his finger and Rice Cake Vibrating Sword turned into a silver thunderbolt and shot towards the undead legion.

    A great horde of the undead legion charged towards Zhao Yao while a weak silver light that looked like it was on the verge of extinction flew towards the legion.

    When they collided, the effect was different from expectations.

 Chapter 955: The Descent

    <h4>Chapter 955: The Descent</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    The silver thunderbolt was like a huge drill spinning at high speed. The undead warriors were ground into meat sauce and dropped to the ground.

    The small silver light was an impervious wall that stopped millions of warriors. It shredded everyone like aser barrier.

    Once the undead warriors were killed, they turned to ash andrge amount of ming dust dispersed in the air and it looked as though the sky was burning.

    Simba saw darkness and lost his perception. When he recovered, he had been revived within the dark swirling mist of the Door of Evesting Life.

    ¡°Fortunately, I¡¯m able to revive.¡±

    As he was about to walk out, the feces flooded him and he lost his superpower.

    He lifted his head to see the sky raining feces and he understood Zhao Yao¡¯s thoughts.

    When riders revived and walked out the door, they would be drenched with feces and lose their undead superpower.

    Half of the undead riders were dealt with by Zhao Yao. The remaining undead riders hesitated as they gazed at Zhao Yao from afar. They did not dare be killed by Zhao Yao.

    Large numbers of riders, who had lost their undead superpower, stood in front of the door in a daze, their bodies full of feces.

    Arria was so furious he vibrated his tail and his fur dropped inrge numbers.

    Asser and Shreev gaped at the battle as the result was totally unexpected.

    Zhao Yao looked at the hesitating warriors andughed. With the aid of Cheese¡¯s Cloak, he flew towards them at supersonic speed and defeated the remaining warriors.

    After defeating the undead legion, Zhao Yao flew in pursuit of the fleeing Arria.

    Arria curled up his body and used his paw to swipe at Zhao Yao while he hissed and said, ¡°Don¡¯t grab me! Release me!¡±

    ¡°You won¡¯t capitte?¡± Zhao Yao swung Arria wildly in his hands and asked, ¡°Are you yielding?¡±

    Arria bit Zhao Yao¡¯s hand but almost broke his teeth. He looked at Zhao Yao in pain. ¡°I¡¯m not yielding!¡±

    ¡°Hmm, still that determined?¡± Zhao Yao extended his thumb and index finger and flicked Arria¡¯s bottom. ¡°Are you yielding?¡±

    Arria screamed in agony. ¡°If you¡¯ve got the guts, don¡¯t use feces. Let¡¯s have a fair duel!¡±

    Zhao Yao remembered that feces was still falling from the sky. He knocked out Arria and stepped into the Extradimensional Belly.

    In the middle of the Extradimensional Belly, two Dimension Portals were facing each other as the Deflective Field engulfed both portals.

    One of the connected Dimension Portals was above the Door of Evesting Life while the other portal was connected to arge feces pool.

    Dust Ball opened her eyes widely and gazed at the smelly contents flowing between the two portals and shed her tears. She felt she would never be clean again.

    Zhao Yao immediately shut down the Dimension Portals and brought Arria to the sky above the Door of Evesting Life.

    ¡°Where¡¯s the other one?¡± Zhao Yao frowned and looked for Asser. His body abruptly trembled and he felt a strong menace descending from the sky.

    ¡°This feeling...¡± Zhao Yao stepped back and hid in the Dimension Portal.

    As he hid inside the portal, Giggle¡¯s awareness descended from the sky above the Door of Evesting life.

    Violent power of awareness swept towards the Door of Evesting Life. The power of awareness faded abruptly as the sound of vomiting was heard.

    Giggle cursed, ¡°Who¡¯s that uncivilized? Polluted the area with that much feces?¡±

    Zhao Yao kneaded his brow tightly in the portal. He did not know why Giggle was here. Perhaps Giggle traveled in the Awareness Dimension and descended upon the material realm. He was an alien cat that controlled strong power of awareness.

    Zhao Yao tried shifting the location of the Dimension Portal as he wanted to use the Battle Scanner monocle to determine Giggle¡¯s Level.

    He saw an undead rider, who had fainted from his fall from the sky, getting up on a cliff. He was forcefully controlled by Giggle.

    Giggle surveyed the disgusting battlefield and covered his nose.

    For the past two months, not only was Zhao Yao developing his power, Giggle had also expanded his power outside of Closers World.

    Giggle dominated the American supernatural realm and controlled half of the American government. He had spies all over the world to locate the Closers World¡¯s intruder.

    Because of his extensive intelligencework, he discovered traces of the power of awareness in Africa and arrived at the first opportunity.

    ¡°Is that Giggle? Possessing another body again?¡± Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes as a Level 19 indicator appeared above Giggle¡¯s head.

    ¡°Four more levels. If Diana evolves four more levels, I won¡¯t be afraid of him.¡±

    Giggle¡¯s superpower was not that terrifying as it was controlling people but his Level 19 awareness was immune to most of his supercats¡¯ superpower.

    Giggle was unable to deflect superpowers that affected Zhao Yao or the world, for example, Time Freeze, Extradimensional Belly and Ultra Rapid Regeneration.

    Seeing Giggle searching for something, a fire lit up within Zhao Yao¡¯s heart.

    ¡°Should I... do a sneak attack?¡±

    Zhao was very tempted to do a sneak attack on Giggle.

    He was relentlessly pursued in the dreamscape and Zhao Yao was helpless to resist as it was a battle of power of awareness.

    In the material realm, he could use Time Freeze and the Extradimensional Belly so he was tempted to attack Giggle.

    Finally he decided it was not worth it as Giggle was not using his real body and it was of no use to kill him now.

    To defeat the alien cat required pure power of awareness.

    Giggle¡¯s eye caught Asser and Shreev fleeing.

    He attacked using his awareness and controlled both of them.

    Both the cat and man abruptly vanished and Giggle was stunned.

    ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡±

    He swept his power of awareness around incessantly but could not find Asser and Shreev.

    ¡°D*mn!¡± Giggle looked furiously at the feces drenched riders. He controlled them using his power and awareness to find out what happened.

    As Giggle was about to extract information from the dozens of riders, they shed and vanished as if they never existed.

    ¡°Huh?¡±

    Giggle knew something was wrong.

    ¡°Someone with a superpower is moving them?

    Giggle red and swept the area with his power of awareness. ¡°I don¡¯t believe you can moving that many people away.¡±

    Wherever he looked, the riders vanished. Almost more than a hundred riders vanished in his vision.

    The vanishing stopped and Giggle sneered, ¡°Reaching your limit?¡±

    Giggle controlled the hundredth rider with his power of awareness and asked, ¡°What happened just now?¡±

    When a rider was about to answer, a rock hit his head and he fainted.

    Giggle surveyed the direction where the rock came from but saw nothing but the endless in. There were no men or cats.

    He frowned and swept his power of awareness over the area in vain.

    ¡°Shifting again?¡±

    Zhao Yao hid behind the Dimension Portal and looked at the suspicious Giggle. ¡°Giggle¡¯s unable to find me.¡± He stroked his chin and looked at the ck men behind him. They were trembling and drenched in feces.

    Arria, Asser and Shreev were knocked out on the ground.

    He had used Time Freeze to capture them.

    Matcha pulled a roll of stic tape and wore a toy sheriff¡¯s hat as he said, ¡°Attention all citizens, attention all citizens. We have found strong pollutants. Do not approach the quarantined area as it¡¯s life threatening.¡±

    Latte looked astonishedly at the feces drenched men and said, ¡°Is this how they y? The limit here is unfathomable.¡±

    Milk Tea covered Latte¡¯s eyes and said, ¡°Latte! Don¡¯t look!¡±

    Dust Ball was so furious that her fur exploded. She pointed at the feces drenched men and eximed, ¡°Zhao Yao! What are you doing? They¡¯re so dirty! Why are you bringing them inside?!!!¡±

    Zhao Yao consoled Dust Ball and said, ¡°It¡¯s alright Dust Ball. Is there any difference if the feces is in the stomach or on the head? You¡¯re too narrow-minded and will evolve slower than the rest.¡±

    Dust Ball shouted in rage, ¡°Shall I take your feces from your stomach and put it on your head?¡± She abruptly looked at a ck man who was swinging his arm. She screamed, ¡°Don¡¯t swing your feces! I¡¯ll kill you!¡±

    Zhao Yao swung his hand and used Elizabeth¡¯s Deprivation of Five Sense to knock out the feces drenched men.

    Dust Ball screamed in a shrill voice. ¡°What are you doing Zhao Yao? Don¡¯t let themy on the ground. Won¡¯t I have to scrub the floor to death?!¡±

    Zhao Yao swung his hand and said, ¡°No problem, let Ares use his Deflective Field.¡±

    Ares who was chatting with Catherine turned his head and said unhappily, ¡°The Deflective Field is my hand. How can I use it to do such dirty work?¡±

    Roly Poly shouted, ¡°Stop squabbling, look outside!¡±

    Giggle controlled the remaining rebels, gathered them together and made them walk away. He used his power of awareness to sweep the environment to prevent sneak attacks.

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought, ¡°The rebels saw my distorted image just now. If investigated, it would lead to the Chinese Embassy. I can¡¯t let the alien cat bring them away for questioning.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes glimmered and he walked to the front of the Dimension Portal.

    Giggle saw a white ring appear in the faraway sky. The ring expanded rapidly and attracted everyone¡¯s attention.

    As Giggle was defending against sneak attacks, the controlled crowd behind him fainted on the ground.

    With a strong power of awareness, Giggle was immune to Catherine¡¯s superpower.

    Zhao Yao wore the Cat Princess Dress, which could activate one more superpower, and charged using Time Freeze and Deflective Field.

    In the time frozen world, Zhao Yao used the Deflective Field to capture the crowd.

    When time resumed, Giggle tried to control the crowd but he could not stop them from vanishing.

    Those people who vanished appeared again and Giggle was dumbfounded.

    Under his stunned expression was his confident sense of control.

    The alien cat Tom had possessed one of the ck men when they were being moved.

    While Tom was being moved, he would be able to capture the opponent.

    Time froze and Zhao Yao was dumbstruck by a Level 17 sign above one of the ck men.

    ¡°This is¡­ another alien cat? A Level 17 awareness?¡±

    Zhao Yao recovered himself. This was another alien cat possessing a ck man, waiting to be transferred into the Extradimensional Belly.

    Fortunately, he had the Battle Scanner monocle to detect the alien cat, otherwise the consequences would have been dire.

    ¡°If I skip the alien cat possessed ck man, this will reveal that I can detect them. Why don¡¯t I feed him false information?¡± Zhao Yao carried the ck man and threw him tens of thousands of kilometers into Korea using the Dimension Portal.

    Then he continued carrying other ck men.

    The rider vanished and appeared one by one. Finally every rider went through the process andy on the ground.

    The Tom-possessed ck man was ced in Korea and shifted back during Time Freeze.

    Giggle did not know that when the rebels vanished, they lost their memories a few hours back. Caesar had erased their memories.

    Zhao Yao decided not to attack the alien cats in order not to alert them.

    With Time Freeze, the Dimension Portal and preparations, he would be safe from the alien cats.

    Without a chance to defeat the alien cats, letting them know his superpowers and identity was a bad idea.

    After erasing the riders¡¯ memories, Zhao Yao closed the Dimension Portals and returned to Cat Ind.

    Giggle was not able to stop Zhao Yao from using Time Freeze and Dimension portals.

    After Zhao Yao retreated, Giggle looked at a rider and asked, ¡°How¡¯s it, Tom? Where were you shifted? Did you find their base?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Tom stood proudly and said, ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate me. I¡¯ve recorded that location!¡±

    Zhao Yao erased the ck men¡¯s memories and closed the Dimension Portal. He returned to the Extradimensional Belly and exited from the Cat Ind portal.

    As Zhao Yao was about to exit the portal, Dust Ball screamed in a shrill voice, ¡°Zhao Yao! Scrub the floor!¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Midnight and hispanions who were preparing meals and said, ¡°Did you hear that? Scrub the floor.¡±

    Zhao Yao returned to Cat Ind and surveyed his rewards¡ªthe unconscious Asser, Arria and Shreev.

    Zhao Yao did not wake them up as he intended to talk to them in their dreamscapes.

    Though the two cat¡¯s power of awareness were inferior to Diana, he could not underestimate them.

    Giggle¡¯s power of awareness was superior to Zhao Yao, hence he was no match for the alien cat in dreamscapes. He only had a chance in the material realm against the alien cats.

    With Diana¡¯s superpower, Zhao Yao was able to control them in dreamscape such that they were unable to use their superpowers.

    ...

    In the hazy environment, Asser felt that he had slept for a long time. He opened his eyes and found himself sprawling on the ground.

    He stood up unsteadily and found himself on a street.

    Cats were walking around in the environment and it looked like a cat¡¯s habitat. They studied, worked, bore children just like normal humans.

    Asser looked curiously and thought, ¡°Where¡¯s this ce? Are they supercats?¡±

    He walked one round on the streets and discovered that it was a small town. A murder had urred in town recently.

    Asser¡¯s ears quivered and he listened to the private conversations of the nearby cats.

    ¡°Did you hear that? A kitten¡¯s dead again!¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t Zhao Yao dead? Who¡¯s torturing cats again?¡±

    ¡°Who knows. I heard someone dreamt of Zhao Yao!¡±

    ¡°I heard a few kittens studying in elementary school bled when dreaming about Zhao Yao. This is frightening.¡±

    ¡°Humph? What¡¯s up?¡± Asser frowned and yawned abruptly. ¡°So tired. I feel... like... sleeping...¡±

    Arria opened his eyes and found himself sitting in an ordinary home. The television in front was showing snowkes.

    Arria licked his paws and calmed down. He tried to recall slowly what happened.

    He remembered his Door of Evesting Life was flooded with feces and he trembled with rage.

    As he was fuming, the television a year ago shed and the snowkes vanished. A well appeared.

    ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± Arria looked nkly at the television screen. He saw a long-furred cat crawling from the well.

    The cat¡¯s fur was ck and dense. Even the face was covered with fur. The cat climbed out gradually from the well and walk towards the camera.

    Arria was frightened and felt an ominous maliceing towards him.

    ...

    Zhao Yao was having a heartfelt conversation with Arria and Asser.

    In the Extradimensional Belly, Matcha looked at Lucifer licking at his blood-stained paws and asked, ¡°How¡¯s that? Feeling good?¡±

    Lucifery down on the groundzily and nodded. ¡°Good, veryfortable. You are awesome Matcha, much better than Ares and the rest.¡±

    Latte, who was following Matcha, asked, ¡°Matcha, this cat isn¡¯t afraid of a beating. Is he fond of being beaten?¡±

    Matcha said casually, ¡°Yes.¡±

    Latte said curiously, ¡°Such a cat exists?¡± His eyes illuminated as he asked, ¡°Matcha, could I try?¡±

    ¡°As you wish.¡± Matcha said, ¡°Beat him as you like. Go on and try it.¡±

    After getting rid of Latte, Matcha was about to yputer games on his cellphone when he discovered someone tagging him on Wechat.

    Lightning messaged, ¡°When are you arranging for the next venture into the Closers World¡¯s dungeon? @Matcha.¡±

    Matcha frowned and felt unhappy.

    Old Cat messaged, ¡°Don¡¯t tag Sir George directly. Don¡¯t you know that he¡¯s busy with lots of matters? Are you bothering our administrator? I don¡¯t want to see a second tag.¡±

    Old Cat said, ¡°There¡¯s no sense of propriety.¡±

    Airne said, ¡°All members please take note of your status and your attitude when messaging the administrator @All members.¡±

    Matcha nodded and thought for a while before messaging, ¡°During thest mid-autumn festival, a lot of cats sent wishes to me. I discovered that a lot of cats from the Royal Cat Guards had not done so. I don¡¯t know what you meant by that. Had too much catmint?¡±

    ¡°Do you think that this is a simple message? This represents our Royal Cat Guard¡¯s unity! The Royal Cat Police Force, cat caf¨¦ section and the Cat Fighting Unit¡¯s cats sent well wishes to me. If I meet other section leaders in the future, will I listen to them speak ill of my section?¡±

    ¡°Do what you seems fit. I¡¯m very disappointed. @All members please reply after seeing this.¡±

    Matcha shook his head. ¡°Hmm, I¡¯m too easy going so the Royal Cat Guards are gettingx in discipline. It¡¯s time to teach them a lesson.¡±

    ...

    Roly Poly saw Matcha¡¯s group message and mocked Matcha in his thoughts. He did a screen capture and sent it to Zhao Yao. ¡°Zhao Yao, take a look! Matcha¡¯s abusing his authority again. We¡¯re all your cats. His behavior is inappropriate.¡±

    Project X scoffed, ¡°You are snitching on Matcha again.¡±

    ¡°What do you know? This is called intelligence work!¡± Roly Poly typed excitedly as he talked to Project X, ¡°My few words are more powerful than your battle with Zhao Yao!¡±

    Project X said, ¡°Enough. Stop boasting, I¡¯m tired of all of this. ce a book by the side for me to read.¡±

    Roly Poly took out Hundred Years of Solitude for Project X to read. Then he checked his cellphone and thought, ¡°Zhao Yao didn¡¯t reply to me? Is he still ying with the two new cats?¡±

    ¡°So slow, when will he reply to me?¡±

    Project X said, ¡°Roly Poly, help me turn the page. I¡¯ve finished the first page.¡±

    Roly Poly turned the page casually for Project X and thought, ¡°Perhaps the dirt on Matcha isn¡¯t big enough? Yes, it must be that.¡±

    Roly Poly felt a sense of danger. He recalled that Matcha was able to participate inbat. In the African battle, he beat up Lucifer to assist Zhao Yao and Time Freeze became more effective.

    ...

    The next morning, Matcha tossed his body and pushed his paws forward and backside backwards. He straightened his body and stretched his back.

    He yawned as he opened up his cellphone and nced at the bed. ¡°Zhao Yao didn¡¯te backst night. Where did he go off to ?¡±

    Matcha checked the inte as usual as he muttered, ¡°A riot broke out in Seoul, Korea... more than a hundred people contracted unknown mental illness...¡±

    After checking the news, Matcha opened up Mobile Legends happily. He intended to practise a few rounds before having his meal.

    A soul wrenching scream pierced through the air of Cat Ind.

    ¡°Who destroyed my runes!! Totally sick guy!¡±

    ¡°This is war! This is a terrorist attack! Someone¡¯s dering war on me!¡±

    The invisible Roly Poly extended his head from the window and peeped at the frustrated Matcha andughed sinisterly. ¡°I¡¯ll make you go crazy before destroying you.¡±

    Matchay on the massage chair with his paws facing upwards, his half closed eyes drooping down and his face depressed.

    ¡°Oh...¡± Matcha moaned and said, ¡°My runes!¡±

    Milk Tea came over with a towel and put it carefully on Matcha¡¯s head. He said with concern, ¡°Brother Matcha, don¡¯t be sad. You¡¯ll get sick with grief!¡±

    Latte sat by the side munching canned salmon and looked asionally at Matcha as he said, ¡°You¡¯ve got to be happy as a cat. The runes will note back even if you¡¯re upset. Shall I open another can of salmon for you?¡±

    ¡°Get lost!¡± Matcha threw his towel at Latte and shouted, ¡°You don¡¯t know how sad and upset I am! All 15 sets of runes were lost! Do you know how many days and nights I yed to obtain the 15 sets of runes?¡±

    Matcha covered his chest and trembled violently.

    ¡°Brother Matcha!¡±

    ¡°Matcha, how¡¯re you feeling?¡±

    ¡°Sir George, you have to brace yourself!¡±

    Milk Tea, Latte, Old Cat, Airne, Lightning surrounded Matcha, who was holding his chest and convulsing. They were concerned about him.

    Matcha bit Milk Tea¡¯s paw and shivered as he said, ¡°You¡¯ve got to catch the perpetrator! You have to catch him! Otherwise I won¡¯t rest in peace.¡±

    Milk Tea nodded and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry Brother Matcha, we¡¯ll catch him. Don¡¯t ruin your health.¡±

    Old Cat came forward and typed, ¡°Don¡¯t worry Sir George, we¡¯ll capture this guy who deserves a thousandshes.¡±

    ¡°Old Cat!¡± Matcha looked sadly at him and said, ¡°I feel terrible inside.¡±

    ¡°I understand,¡± Old Cat said. ¡°We all understand. Take care of yourself. It¡¯s not worth it to ruin your health.¡±

    ¡°Catch him! You have to catch him!¡± Matcha wailed and he convulsed violently as his head tilted to one side. ¡°Oh!¡± His tongue stuck out and he became motionless.

    ¡°Matcha!¡± Milk Tea eximed in shock and pounced on Matcha.

    Latte opened his mouth and the salmon inside fell to the ground.

    Airne was astonished as he said, ¡°Matcha¡¯s agitated to death?¡±

    Old Cat hurried over and examined his nose and chest. He sighed and typed, ¡°He¡¯s not dead. He probably fell asleep after staying up all night.¡±

    Milk Tea was relieved and licked his chest fur as he said, ¡°Matcha¡¯s condition is going to worsen as he can¡¯t eat or drink. This is worrisome.¡±

    Old Cat said, ¡°The only solution is to catch the perpetrator to sooth Matcha.¡±

    Milk Tea shook his head and said, ¡°How long will it take? I have an idea. Why don¡¯t we use our money to buy a few sets of runes?¡±

    ¡°This is frustrating!¡± Airne sighed deeply and said sadly, ¡°I¡¯m useless. I¡¯m a spendthrift and can¡¯t contribute money at critical moments! I¡¯m really useless!¡± He pped himself using his tail.

    Lightning saw Milk Tea looking at him and turned his head away as he shook his head and sighed. ¡°Milk Tea, you should have told me earlier that you need money!

    It¡¯s frustrating. I lent my money to Cannon this morning. I¡¯m a good brother so when he asked me for money and I lent it to him without saying a word!

    When can I change this shoring of mine? Let me look for Cannon and ask him for my money...¡±

    Milk Tea said, ¡°It¡¯s alright. I¡¯ve worked in Cat Wondend these days and saved some money. I¡¯m thinking of using my money to help Matcha but you must help me hide it from him. Just tell him that we came up with the money together to buy his runes.¡±

    All the supercats looked at each other and agreed.

    Latte frowned and squatted down as he looked at Matcha¡¯s quivering tail and pounced on it. He gave it a good bite.

    Lightning said, ¡°Milk Tea, the runes looked expensive. Do you have enough money?¡±

    Milk Tea said, ¡°Besides my sry, Master Zhao also gave me some red packets. I think it should be enough...¡±

    All the supercats were stunned by the figures on Milk Tea¡¯s cell phone.

    ¡°Are those figures from the red packets?¡±

    Old Cat said, ¡°You won¡¯t need that much, Milk Tea...¡±

    Milk Tea smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I seldom use the money. If I can make Brother Matcha happy and healthy, I¡¯ll be happy.¡±

    Latte bit and pulled Matcha¡¯s tail. It was so painful that Matcha shook his body and said telepathically to Latte, ¡°Latte, stop it!¡±

    Latte was astonished. ¡°Matcha, aren¡¯t you asleep?¡±

    Matcha said angrily, ¡°Idiot! Don¡¯t bother me. Get lost and don¡¯t bite my tail.¡±

    Latte rolled his eyeballs and said, ¡°Oh! You are pretending! I¡¯ll tell the rest!¡±

    Matcha said anxiously, ¡°Don¡¯t speak nonsense!¡±

    Latte said, ¡°I heard there¡¯s a new canned salmon...¡±

    Matcha said helplessly, ¡°I¡¯ll buy it.¡±

    Milk Tea looked at Old Cat and the supercats and nodded. ¡°Let¡¯s make a move first. When Matcha¡¯s awake, tell him about it... Airne, please help to investigate who deleted Matcha¡¯s runes.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry Milk Tea, Matcha¡¯s my big brother. I¡¯ll find out the truth.¡±

    As the supercats left, Milk Tea turned to look at Latte and said, ¡°Latte, let¡¯s go...¡±

    Latte looked at Milk Tea and shook his head. ¡°No, I¡¯ll stay here to watch over Matcha.¡±

    Milk Tea looked surprised at Latte and smiled. ¡°Latte¡¯s grown up. Keep himpany. I¡¯lle backter.¡±

    After Milk Tea left, Latte looked at Matcha and said, ¡°They¡¯re all gone. You can wake up now!¡±

    Matcha sat up andughed loudly. ¡°I¡¯ll get back my runes. Fat hope if you think you can delete my runes!!¡±

    Latte said, ¡°What about my salmon?¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°I know, I¡¯ll get it for you.¡±

    They looked at each other,ughed heartily and jumped around excitedly.

    Matcha said, ¡°Yeah! I¡¯ll have my runes again!¡±

    Latte said, ¡°Yeah! I¡¯ll have my salmon again!¡±

    Both cats jumped happily as they smiled in anticipation of their future rewards.

    Bam! They saw Milk Tea open the door. He was holding a can of salmon in his mouth and looking grimly at both of them, who were frozen in space.

    Invisible, Roly Poly walked out from Matcha¡¯s room andughed sinisterly.

    Project X said, ¡°They have a lot of superpowers. They¡¯ll discover it was done by you.¡±

    Roly Poly said confidently, ¡°Do you think that¡¯s my whole n? This is just the beginning. I¡¯ll make sure all of Cat Ind burns to ash, then I will rise from the ashes and be the Ind¡¯s first supercat.¡±

    Project X was curious and said, ¡°What do you intend to do?¡±

    Roly Poly ran towards the catmint farm on the eastern side of the ind. He squatted stealthily a hundred meters outside the farm and spied at the few supercats patrolling the boundary.

    ¡°Catmint?¡± Project X asked curiously, ¡°Are you stealing catmint?¡±

    ¡°Humph, stealing catmint? You¡¯ve underestimated me.¡± Roly Poly walked to a tree hole and started scavenging as if he was looking for something.

    He pulled out a doll that looked like Matcha on his head. He activated invisibility and moved in the trees. It looked like Matcha was running in the woods towards the catmint farm.

    The guards at the farm were chatting as they patrolled.

    The leader Red Packet said, ¡°Everyone be on alert as the catmint¡¯s about to be harvested. If things go wrong, sister Dust Ball will bite our heads off.¡±

    Cannon said, ¡°Brother Red, we got it.¡± He rubbed his paws and smiled merrily. ¡°I¡¯m tight with my finances. When¡¯s our pay day?¡±

    Red Packet nced at him and frowned. ¡°Gambling again?¡±

    Cannon pushed out his chest and said, ¡°Training. Do you know the ten thousand method? I think it¡¯s logical. After I¡¯ve gambled ten thousand times and be an expert, I¡¯ll earn as much money as I want. Now¡¯s the learning fee.¡±

    Red Packet rolled his eyes and said, ¡°When we sell the catmint, then we¡¯ll pay you your sry. Did you borrow money from Lightning?¡±

    ¡°Lightning¡¯s a scumbag,¡± Cannon scolded. ¡°He promised to lend me in the morning and he disappeared at night...¡±

    The supercats¡¯ ears quivered abruptly and they heard movement sounds. An orange cat figure shed and jumped around in the catmint farm.

    ¡°Who¡¯s that?¡± Red Packet chased after the orange cat. ¡°This is the catmint farm¡¯s restricted area! Who let youe here?!¡±

    ¡°Catch him!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t let him run away!¡±

    ¡°Stop immediately!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s Matcha!¡±

    Momentster, huge tongues of fire licked the catmint farm. Seeing Matcha fleeing into the woods, Red Packet fell and sat on the ground as he muttered, ¡°Finished. We are in trouble.¡±

    ¡°The sky above Cat Ind is changing.¡±

    Roly Polyughed sinisterly after disguising himself as Matcha and burning the catmint farm. He hid the Matcha doll carefully and gazed at the ck smoke and fire in the distance. ¡°I¡¯ve seeded!¡±

    Project X said, ¡°You are creating infighting?¡± He became excited and asked, ¡°How will Dust Ball react? Would the catmint section fight with the Royal Cat Guards?¡±

    Project X shook his head. ¡°Isn¡¯t it going to be a minor conflict? Once Zhao Yao appears, everything will be under control.¡±

    ¡°Nonsense, I¡¯m not making them kill each other.¡± Roly Poly scoffed, ¡°Project X! You have been learning from me for such a long time, you haven¡¯t learned anything. This is called pulling firewood out of one¡¯s stove.¡±

    ¡°How did Matcha obtain his current status? Wasn¡¯t Zhao Yao the one who supported him?¡±

    ¡°Why did Zhao Yao support Matcha? Because he was Zhao Yao¡¯s first cat.¡± Roly Poly sighed and said, ¡°In a human¡¯s heart, the first cat will always have a special position and will be the most memorable one.¡±

    ¡°To weaken Matcha, I¡¯ll have to destroy his position in Zhao Yao¡¯s heart. I¡¯ll let Zhao Yao know that Matcha¡¯s a bad cat who always create trouble.¡±

    Project X said, ¡°Isn¡¯t Matcha always in trouble? Isn¡¯t that enough?¡±

    ¡°Humph, what do you know? When ites to politics, you are still green,¡± Roly Poly said. ¡°When Matcha was in trouble, it was all connected to the other supercats at home. Till now, his troubles did not cause realrge loses for Zhao Yao.¡±

    ¡°If a cat poops at the door of the toilet and on the bed, are the consequences the same?¡±

    ¡°Only when a cat knows his limits, then he can sustain his position in the family.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s the same for other things.¡±

    Project X, ¡°Oh, You are going to let him create big trouble? What are you going to do when Zhao Yao returns?¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao will note back that quickly. I asked Diana and Catherine, Zhao Yao¡¯s still having heartfelt conversation with the new supercats in their dreams to convince them. It won¡¯t be done that fast. This is the best time to frame Matcha.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. There is more to be done.¡±

    Momentster, a scream rang from Elizabeth¡¯s cat dwelling. Elizabeth looked at herself in the mirror. Her fur was cut from her head and her stomach.

    Looking at the orange fur left in her cat dwelling, Elizabeth sniffed at the orange fur and gritted her teeth. ¡°Matcha!¡±

    Diana woke up andughed at Elizabeth¡¯s pitiful look. ¡°Sister, why did you shave the fur from your head and stomach? Tsk, tsk, look at your small belly. It¡¯s exposed.¡±

    Diana shook her head, ¡°We¡¯re Ragdoll cats and it¡¯s not appropriate to cut off our fur. Who¡¯s going to cuddle you now?¡±

    Elizabeth turned to look at Diana as her eyes shed with crimson rays. Diana froze slightly but she retained control of herself.

    Diana smiled merrily at Elizabeth as she waved her tail and said, ¡°It¡¯s no good, my good sister. Your superpower has no effect on me.¡±

    Elizabeth sneered and said, ¡°I just want you to see yourself in the mirror. It¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t want to.¡±

    ¡°See myself in the mirror?¡± Diana ran to a mirror and screamed.

    The fur on Diana¡¯s head and back was cut, revealing the flesh underneath.

    ...

    A few hundred meters away, Roly Poly packed the white fur in a bundle and hid it from sight.

    Project X did not understand and asked, ¡°Why are you hiding it?¡±

    Roly Poly said, ¡°To sell for money. Elizabeth¡¯s original fur is priceless. Once the matter blows over, I¡¯ll sell it for a profit.¡±

    Project X was speechless.

    After the fur was well hidden, Roly Poly heard themotion on Cat Ind. He smiled and said, ¡°War... is starting!¡±

    As time passed, more lights lit up on Cat Ind and themotion became louder.

    The chaos spread from the Royal Cat Guards, catmint section, cat caf¨¦ to Ares, Cat Sage and the Royal Cat Police Force.

    The peace and order on Cat Ind was broken.

    One hourter, Roly Poly stood on the highest cliff on the ind and surveyed the chaos as his smile became broader.

    He gazed at the forest in the middle of the ind.

    Cheese sprawled on the grass in, his ears quivering and listening to surroundings. After some time, Cheese said telepathically, ¡°Let¡¯s go Rice Cake. There are no cats nearby.¡±

    The two cats advanced towards their target¡ªa cat dwelling more than a hundred meters away.

    Rice Cake typed on her cell phone as she walked, ¡°Leopard, Leopard, this is Bald Eagle, we¡¯re in position.¡±

    Cat Sage replied, ¡°Leopard acknowledged. Bald Eagle, wait for the signal to act.¡±

    With the roar of a dragon, Cheese and Rice Cake charged forward.

    More lights lit up and more cats meowed.

    The golden dragon that soared in the sky was pulled down by Ares¡¯ Deflective Field. Cat Sage eximed in shock, ¡°There¡¯s an ambush!¡±

    Cheese and Rice Cake intended to escape by flying off but were shot down by F¨±jin¡¯s wind bullets.

    ¡°Run Rice Cake!¡± Cheese sent Rice Cake flying off. ¡°Don¡¯t turn back! Run immediately!¡±

    Seeing Rice Cake flying off without turning her head, Cheese frowned. ¡°She didn¡¯t turn her head. Is that my sister...¡±

    Rice Cake turned her head abruptly and said, ¡°Why are you standing there like a fool? Run!¡±

    Cheese shook his head as he smiled satisfactorily. ¡°It¡¯s toote.¡±

    He was lifted up in the air as the Deflective Field turned into countless sword energy and engulfed him.

    Cheese shouted, ¡°Run, Rice Cake! Run!¡±

    Rice Cake gazed deeply into Cheese¡¯s eyes and bolted. She heard Cheese¡¯s soul wrenching scream behind her.

    Rice Cake could not resist turning her head to see her brother¡¯s fur being shredded and turning him into a pig. His brother wailed in pain as hended on the ground. ¡°Brother!¡±

    Rice Cake held back her tears and turned her head forward as she fled into the forest.

    Roly Poly¡¯s gaze shifted from the middle forest to the northern beach.

    In the sea off the beach, the Dimension Portal traveled above the sea as it sucked in vast amount of seawater, forming a cyclone.

    In the southern Cat Ind, Dust Ball opened her mouth and shot out water that flooded and drenched the supercats in front of her.

    Uncle Eggy on the ground as electrical sparks shed on his body. He convulsed as he shouted, ¡°Stop! Stop! Stop your sshing!¡±

    Caesary drenched on the ground, looking listless and in a daze. ¡°Stop sshing us... we¡¯re all wet...¡±

    Seeing the drenched supercats asking her to stop, Dust Ball closed her mouth and shouted angrily, ¡°If you want me to stop, tell me where is Matcha? Otherwise I¡¯ll drench you until all your fur sheds.¡±

    Uncle Egg shivered as he stood up and said, ¡°We don¡¯t know where Matcha is!¡±

    Dust Ball said furiously, ¡°You were with Matcha all day and still don¡¯t want to tell me?!¡±

    Uncle Egg said in pain, ¡°It¡¯s Old Cat who¡¯s with Matcha. I haven¡¯t been with Matcha for a long time.¡±

    Dust Ball asked, ¡°You aren¡¯t Old Cat?¡±

    Uncle Egg said, ¡°I¡¯m Uncle Egg, Dust Ball! Did you recognize the wrong person?¡± He shook his body violently so that Dust Ball could have a good look. Cats could see clearer when things were moving.

    Dust Ball was in a shock.

    Dust Ball squinted her eyes as she tried to recognize the voice from her blurred vision. ¡°Why is my vision getting blurry recently? Did I watch too much TV? He doesn¡¯t sound like Old Cat...¡±

    She sniffed and only smelled seawater. ¡°I depended too much on my sight... I¡¯ll sniff first before spraying water.¡±

    In the silence, Dust Ball sprayed Uncle Egg with seawater again. ¡°Don¡¯t disguise yourself as Old Cat and don¡¯t let me see you again!¡±

    Roly Poly narrowed his eyes on the cliff. He did not take the Royal Cat Police Force¡¯s beating to heart. Project X said, ¡°Your subordinates are being beaten. Why aren¡¯t you helping?¡±

    Roly Poly said, ¡°I don¡¯t have time.¡±

    ¡°If you don¡¯t help, won¡¯t it be harder to lead them? You¡¯ll lose the respect of your subordinates.¡±

    ¡°Respect? What¡¯s the use of respect?¡± Roly Poly sneered. ¡°If you could be stronger after eating feces, would you take it?¡±

    ¡°No,¡± Project X said. ¡°I am an elite supercat, why should I take it? Even if I be stronger, it will be a taint in my life.¡±

    ¡°Hence you are totally defeated.¡± Roly Poly said as he turned his head to look at the vi by the sea.

    ¡°Matcha¡¯sing out...¡±

    Matcha jumped down from the balcony with Latte following behind. Latte said fearfully, ¡°Milk Tea looks scary when he¡¯s angry.¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°If he¡¯s not a kitten, I¡¯ll p him.¡±

    Latte opened his wide eyes as he said, ¡°Really Matcha? Let¡¯s go back. I haven¡¯t finished my salmon.¡±

    ¡°Eat, eat, eat. You only know how to eat.¡± Matcha pped Latte¡¯s head. ¡°If not for you, I would be yingputer games on my sofa. I haven¡¯tpleted my daily routine yet.¡±

    Latte drooped his ears and followed Matcha silently.

    After some time, Latte said, ¡°Matcha, I¡¯m hungry.¡±

    Matcha ignored him.

    Latte said, ¡°Shall we apologize to Milk Tea?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not going!¡± Matcha scoffed. ¡°I won¡¯t apologize to Milk Tea.¡±

    Latte said, ¡°Oh, I¡¯m going then.¡±

    Matcha stopped Latte from leaving. ¡°What are you doing? You¡¯re apologizing because of the salmon?¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± Latte said earnestly. ¡°In order to feed my stomach.¡±

    Seeing Latte¡¯s innocent face, Matcha sighed. ¡°Hungry? Okay, wait here for me. I¡¯ll apologize to Milk Tea.¡±

    As both cats returned to the vi, a pair of yellow, green and red eyes lit up in the darkness.

    Elizabeth walked out from the woods. ¡°Matcha...¡±

    Matcha looked at Elizabeth bewildered and asked, ¡°Elizabeth, why are you wearing clothes? And with a hat too?¡±

    ...

    In the sea off the Cat Ind.

    A pair of eyes fixed its gaze on the misty Cat Ind.

    ¡°Elizabeth! I¡¯ve finally found you!¡±

    A few men stood beside him as he gazed at the Cat Ind. ¡°Is this Cat Ind?¡±

    ¡°There are rumors saying that the Headless Horseman¡¯s dead, leaving his supercats on Cat Ind.¡±

    ¡°Be careful. His supercats are powerful. Do not underestimate them.¡±

    A small boat slowed to a halt at the beach and the apostles disembarked from the boat.

    ¡°Is this Cat Ind?¡±

    ¡°Doesn¡¯t look special.¡±

    ¡°Be careful. There¡¯s a few hundred supercats on the ind.¡±

    A slim man wearing a dark windbreaker came down from the boat with a Ragdoll cat in his arms. ¡°Finally, we¡¯ve arrived.¡±

    The Ragdoll cat meowed incessantly and typed on the cellphone that said, ¡°Find Elizabeth! Remember! She¡¯s a Ragdoll cat with very long fur! And very sweet looking!¡±

    The eight apostles were taken aback as the description was not very helpful for identification of Elizabeth.

    The man carrying the Ragdoll cat said, ¡°Lord Napoleon, don¡¯t be impatient. Though the Headless Horseman¡¯s dead, we can¡¯t possibly look for every cat. Let¡¯s be steady and capture every supercat as we look for traces of Elizabeth.¡±

    Napoleon frowned and said unhappily, ¡°Humph, who¡¯s my match on Cat Ind? I¡¯m here to let Elizabeth know how wrong her decision was!¡±

    The man said, ¡°Lord Napoleon, you are invincible but there are simply too many superpowers in this world. Let¡¯s be careful as we tread on the enemy¡¯s ground.¡±

    Napoleon nodded reluctantly.

    mes abruptly licked the sky. There was a fire somewhere on the ind.

    An apostle said excitedly, ¡°The Headless Horseman¡¯s dead. If not, there wouldn¡¯t be such a huge fire.¡±

    ¡°Perhaps the supercats were let loose and chaos reigned!¡±

    ¡°Rumors said that Cat Wondend had lost contact with Cat Ind. The supercats are without a leader. Seems like it¡¯s real.¡±

    The man carrying the Ragdoll cat calmed them down and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be excited. They are without a leader but they are powerful. Check your equipment. We¡¯ll start our operation together. Don¡¯t go too far.¡±

    They unloaded anti-explosive vests, electric batons and tranquilizer rifles and equipped themselves as they trudged towards the woods.

    They heard screams of cats and sounds of explosions from the deep end of the forest. It seemed like supercats were having a battle.

    The men became more excited as they were more convinced that the Headless Horseman had perished and that the supercats were without a leader.

    They moved forward with anticipation as they looked for traces of supercats.

    The plump front scout stopped and waved to hispanions for them to halt. Then he pointed forward.

    A thick and long tail protruded from the bushes.

    Napoleon¡¯s eyes lit up and said, ¡°That¡¯s a Ragdoll cat¡¯s tail! Capture the cat!¡±

    The apostles looked at each other warily and they separated into two groups as they surrounded the bushes.

    They shot out an electric at the tail and the tightened on the cat.

    They heard a loud scream as a cat struggled wildly in the. With the flow of electricity, the cat convulsed a few times and became motionless.

    The man carrying Napoleon walked forward and saw a drenched Ragdoll cat, who was emitting white smoke, appear before them. He was the Ragdoll cat Caesar.

    Napoleon asked in agitation, ¡°Caesar! Are you Caesar?¡±

    Caesar was first drenched before being electrocuted. He was in a terrible state and he squinted his eyes to look at Napoleon before asking bewildered, ¡°You are?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s me, Napoleon,¡± Napoleon shouted. ¡°You watched me grow up when I was young. You engaged Elizabeth to me!¡±

    Caesar recovered himself and looked in astonishment at the handsome and burly Napoleon who had smooth shiny fur.

    ¡°You are Napoleon? You¡¯ve awakened?¡±

    Napoleon said grimly, ¡°Humph, I awakened long ago. While I was exiled, I trained daily and fought in the boundless Asura Arena so that I could return and let everyone know that your decision was very wrong.¡±

    Caesar was stunned and looked at the surrounding apostles and the electric on his body. He smiled abruptly and said, ¡°Great, you are back Napoleon. Let¡¯s go look for Elizabeth. She misses you a lot.¡±

    As Caesar was about to move, he was grabbed from the. Caesar asked anxiously, ¡°What are you going to do?¡±

    Napoleon said, ¡°What are we going to do? I¡¯m here to catch all the supercats. Though we know each other, work is work. I have to capture you.¡±

    ¡°Capture me? The few of you?¡± Caesar extended his paws, flicked out his ws and hissed at everyone.

    A plump man pressed on him and cut off his ws.

    After being drenched and ws being cut, Caesar¡¯s ego was totally deted. He red at Napoleon.

    Napoleon said, ¡°You better cooperate with us, otherwise it won¡¯t be as simple as cutting your ws. We could shave your fur, mutte your face, or cut off your tail. Do you understand, Caesar?¡±

    Caesar looked angrily at Napoleon. ¡°What did you call me?¡±

    Napoleon said, ¡°I called you... Caesar... What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°Why are you treating me like an outsider?¡± Caesar said, ¡°I know you are on close terms with Elizabeth. From now on, call me Dad.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Napoleon was at a loss and he said shyly, ¡°Dad?¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± Caesar said. ¡°Elizabeth misses you. When you were away, she mentioned you every day.¡±

    ¡°Oh... really?¡± Napoleon was embarrassed as he thought, ¡°I only thought about her at most once a month... Elizabeth liked me for that long?¡±

    ¡°Of course.¡± Caesar said. ¡°Put me down. I know where to find Elizabeth. I¡¯ll bring you to her.¡±

    Suddenly meowing and banging sounds were heard from far. The Napoleon-carrying man said in a low voice, ¡°Be careful! Cats areing!¡±

    The apostles hid behind cover as they remained alert for action.

    A yellow and white cat emerged from the bushes and started fighting.

    Elizabeth pped and scratched at Matcha who was howling and retreating at the same time. ¡°Elizabeth! Are you crazy?¡±

    Elizabeth said, ¡°I¡¯ll cut every strand of fur of yours.¡±

    Matcha shed and appeared ten meters away. He said angrily, ¡°Enough! If you dare to attack me, I¡¯ll retaliate!¡±

    Elizabeth stood up. Her hat had fallen off during the fight and her clothes were also in shreds.

    Caesar was pleasantly surprised. ¡°Matcha! Elizabeth!¡±

    ¡°She¡¯s not my Elizabeth.¡± Napoleon looked at the Ragdoll cat and said calmly, ¡°Who¡¯s this fat and bald cat?¡±

    ¡°Who¡¯s this fat and bald cat?¡±

    Everyone became silent.

    Napoleon looked at the frozen Caesar and Matcha and asked puzzledly, ¡°What¡¯s with you?¡±

    Matcha shed and fled during Time Freeze.

    Caesar waved at Elizabeth as he said, ¡°Elizabeth, it¡¯s not my fault! Don¡¯t be rash...¡±

    Napoleon looked at Elizabeth whose red-shot eyes were gazing at him. Elizabeth retorted, ¡°I¡¯ve said this many times... My fur¡¯s too dense... I¡¯m not fat!¡±

    Napoleon nced at her bald belly and said casually, ¡°Look at your stomach. It¡¯s sticking out and there¡¯s no fur. You¡¯ve eaten too much without exercising and grown fat...¡±

    Caesar said, ¡°Stop it, Napoleon! Elizabeth¡¯s fury is terrifying!¡±

    Napoleon said, ¡°Her looks are pretty terrifying. Forget it, I¡¯m not capturing Elizabeth. She¡¯s too oily...¡±

    Elizabeth¡¯s fur stood on end as her fury peaked. The green veins on her head pulsated as she red at Napoleon with her red-shot eyes. ¡°It¡¯s normal that my belly protrudes while I squat!!¡±

    The man carrying Napoleon threw him on the ground and he stomped on Napoleon in a frenzy.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°Stop immediately!¡±

    The other apostles wanted to stop the stomping but their vision became dark as their five senses were deprived and they fell unconscious.

    ¡°Die... Die... Die... Death to you...¡± Elizabeth¡¯s crimson eyes were locked on the man and controlled him to stomp hard on Napoleon. He was going to grind Napoleon into a meat sauce.

    The controlled man took out his gun and peppered Napoleon with tens of bullets.

    Caesar inhaled a gust of cold air and turned his head away as he could not bear to witness Napoleon¡¯s state. ¡°I told you to be tactful. Serves you right...¡± Suddenly, he felt his body freezing as though a cold draught had swept by.

    Elizabeth asked, ¡°Caesar, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that I¡¯m fat?¡± The controlled man pointed his gun at Caesar.

    Caesar shook his head as though he was a vibrator and said fearfully, ¡°No! You¡¯re my cutest Lizzie. How could you be fat? Let him put down the gun.¡±

    Augh filled the air. Caesar turned to see Napoleon, who was face-down and whose body was shaking while ominous sounds emitted from his lower body.

    ¡°Hahahaha, fatso, you thought that was the end of me?¡± Napoleon smiled grimly. ¡°You won¡¯t be killing me with your superpower! See, my superpower¡¯s invincible!¡±

    Caesar was puzzled. ¡°This Napoleon... Why is he talking face down?¡±

    Napoleony prone on the ground and said proudly, ¡°Come on! Attack me! Understand how inferior you arepared to my invincible superpower!¡±

    Caesar asked curiously, ¡°Is your superpower activated while facing the ground?¡±

    ¡°You... What nonsense is that?¡± Napoleon smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m toozy to stand up. I¡¯m toozy to stand up and fight with second rate supercats!¡±

    Elizabeth controlled the man and stabbed Napoleon with a knife.

    The knife was unable to cut his flesh as Napoleon¡¯s body was protected by an invisible barrier.

    The controlled man passed out and was robbed of his five senses. Elizabeth looked at Napoleon and was unable to control him.

    Napoleon said, ¡°Humph, do you understand now? Your tricks are useless against me.¡±

    The apostles who were unconscious started moving andy prone on the ground. They were unaffected by the illusion and they aimed their capturing devices at Elizabeth.

    Elizabeth activated her power of illusion and tried to control the apostles in vain.

    Arge spun out from the capturing devices and ensnared Elizabeth.

    A few tranquilizer darts shot out andnded on Elizabeth¡¯s body.

    Though she had a strong power of illusion, Elizabeth¡¯s body was not stronger than mostmon cats. The tranquilizer came into effect and she wavered before falling to the ground.

    The apostles surrounded her and excitedly put her into a sack.

    ¡°This supercat¡¯s powerful! It will fetch a high price.¡±

    Another apostle said, ¡°Sell her for a profit? Didn¡¯t you see how she controlled people? We¡¯ll borrow her superpower and we¡¯ll be rich.¡±

    After securing Elizabeth, the apostles crawled on the ground and headed towards the interior of the ind. Caesar was in the sack and he tried to wake Elizabeth bymunicating with her telepathically but in vain.

    Napoleon and his men crawled forward. All superpowers were useless against them when theyy prone on the ground. They captured tens of supercats and they anticipated good results.

    Lightning knocked into one of the apostles. The super static electricity did note into effect. After a shocked exmation, Lightning was dumped into the sack.

    Uncle Egg¡¯s electrical attacks had minimal effect on the apostles. He was tranquilized and dumped into the sack.

    Meow...

    ¡°Too many, there are too many supercats here.¡±

    ¡°After we round them up, we¡¯ll sell half of them while we keep half. We won¡¯t have to worry about our finances for the rest of our lives.¡±

    ¡°Silence. Supercats areing.¡±

    Scurrying footsteps were heard. Bai Quan emerged from the trees and looked at the apostles who were lying prone on the ground. Bewildered, he asked, ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    The captured supercats meowed with agitation. Bai Quan said, ¡°Stop meowing. You are all guilty of themotion tonight. Wait until boss wakes up...¡±

    Whoosh! Bai Quan caught a tranquilizer dart and threw it back at the apostle.

    Seeing the apostle intact, Bai Quan raised his brow and said, ¡°Oh?¡±

    ...

    In the Prison Valley, on Cat Ind, which was for locking up Project X.

    Asser and Arria closed their eyes tightly as theyy on the ground. They convulsed asionally and their faces showed terror.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s figure appeared out of thin air in front of them. He used Diana¡¯s superpower to enter their dreams and to return back to reality.

    ¡°I¡¯ve almost convinced both cats.¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned and his ears quivered as he heard about the events that urred while he was away.

    Hearing themotion on Cat Ind, Zhao Yao frowned, looked at Asser and Arria sleeping and decided to imprison them in the Extradimensional Belly.

    The moment he opened the Dimension Portal, seawater gushed out and drenched him.

    Zhao Yao opened his mouth and inhaled gently to suck the seawater into the Extradimensional Belly. He closed the Dimension Portal and swallowed himself into the Extradimensional Belly.

    Seeing the seawater flooding the Extradimensional Belly, Zhao Yao shouted angrily, ¡°Dust Ball! What are you doing?!¡±

    ...

    On top of a cliff, Dust Ball wasughing heartily as she sprayed the Royal Cat Guards until they retreated. ¡°Where¡¯s Matcha? Hand over Matcha! Otherwise I¡¯ll drench you twenty times.¡±

    Airne lifted his drenched head and said furiously, ¡°Dust Ball! You are in trouble after drenching all of us. Zhao Yao will not let you go.¡±

    Dust Ball scoffed, ¡°Humph, Airne, are you more important than me in Zhao Yao¡¯s heart?

    I¡¯m earning a hundred times more than you. I¡¯m cute and cuddly. My superpower¡¯s stronger than yours. Even if he knew that I was bullying you, would he care?¡±

    Airne and other Royal Cat Guards were agitated and red at Dust Ball. ¡°Just you wait. Matcha will avenge us! He¡¯s Zhao Yao¡¯s favourite!¡±

    ¡°Matcha?¡± Dust Ball sneered and said. ¡°He¡¯s unable to fend for himself. How¡¯s he going to avenge you? I advise you to confess your crimes before Zhao Yao interrogates you regarding the shedding of fur. Otherwise, no one can save you.¡±

    A ck Dimension Portal opened behind Dust Ball and Zhao Yao¡¯s head peeped out. Dust Ball¡¯s body froze immediately.

    Dust Ball shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao, listen to my exnation! Things are not what you think...¡±

    A huge hand grabbed Dust Ball¡¯s head and pulled her into the darkness of the portal.

    Meow!!

    Dust Ball screamed in her shrill voice and extended her paw fearfully in an attempt to crawl out but she was restrained by the huge hand. She left a long trail of scratch marks as she was dragged into the Extradimensional Belly.

    Seeing the portal vanish gradually, Airne nervously heaved out of relief.

    Airne licked his fur as he said, ¡°Thank goodness... Zhao Yao didn¡¯t look for me.¡±

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao extended his head out from the thin air and looked at Airne who shivered and peed on Meat Bun¡¯s face.

    Zhao Yao red at Airne and said, ¡°Go to the bathroom and blow yourself dry. Whoever gets sick, I¡¯ll eat them alive.¡±

    Meow! Airne and the guards stood up and bolted to the bathroom.

    Zhao Yao returned to the Extradimensional Belly and looked at the trembling and fur shedding Dust Ball. He said, ¡°Dust Ball, did I do something wrong to you?¡±

    Dust Ball shook her head and said, ¡°No, no, no...¡±

    Zhao Yao touched her head and said, ¡°Did I forget to feed you? Or cuddle you? Did I not provide you with good food and lodging?¡± He looked at the flooded Extradimensional Belly.

    All theputers and the cat toilets were spoilt by the water. Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes were filled with murderous intent.

    Dust Ball opened her eyes widely and said, ¡°Zhao Yao! You can¡¯t me me! It¡¯s Matcha who burnt my catmint farm! I fought with them because of this!¡±

    Zhao Yao was stunned. ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°Matcha!¡± Dust Ball said, ¡°Matcha burnt the entire catmint farm! The catmint stock for next month was destroyed!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes emitted cold rays and his murderous intent intensified. Dust Ball was so terrified that she drooped her ears and curled her tail into her stomach.

    ¡°I¡¯ll look for Matcha regarding this.¡± Zhao Yao looked at Dust Ball and said, ¡°You¡¯ll stay here to repent and clean up the mess. I¡¯lle backter to deal with you.¡± Zhao Yao pointed at the unconscious alien cats and said, ¡°Watch over them carefully.¡±

    Zhao Yao walked out of the portal and flew towards the vi, leaving a series of after-images behind him.

    Bam! The vi door was opened and Zhao Yao surveyed the interior and saw Zhao Xue in her night dress, rubbing her eyes as she walked down the stairs half awake. ¡°What were you doing tonight? I was unable to sleep from themotion.¡±

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Did you see Matcha?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Seeing Zhao Yao¡¯s grave expression, Zhao Xue asked excitedly, ¡°Something¡¯s happened?¡±

    Milk Tea ran down the stairs and asked, ¡°Master Zhao! Did something happen to Matcha?¡±

    Zhao Yao stared with his dead fish eyes and said, ¡°Dust Ball said Matcha burnt the catmint farm.¡±

    ¡°Ah!¡± Milk Tea was shocked but recovered and said, ¡°Master Zhao, though Matcha¡¯s disobedient at times, he wouldn¡¯t dare burn the catmint farm. There must be more to this than meets the eye.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and said, ¡°Don¡¯t plead for Matcha. I¡¯ll find out the truth.¡± He turned to look at Milk Tea and asked, ¡°Do you know where is Matcha?¡±

    Zhao Yao listened carefully but could not detect Matcha¡¯s breath.

    Milk Tea swallowed his saliva and said, ¡°Matcha quarreled with me and left. I don¡¯t know where he went...¡± He thought, ¡°Did Matcha do something rash because of his destroyed runes and my quarrel with him?¡±

    Milk Tea became anxious and he sped his paws to plead. ¡°Master Zhao, bring me along with you to find Matcha. His runes were destroyed and he¡¯s in a terrible mood. I¡¯m afraid something might happen to him.¡±

    ¡°His runes were destroyed?¡± Zhao Yao detected something amiss with these two incidents. He put Milk Tea on his shoulder and walked towards the door.

    Zhao Yao sniffed and detected Matcha¡¯s scent. He followed the smell and saw the figures of a Ragdoll cat and an orange cat.

    Diana pressed down on Latte¡¯s head with her paw while Latte kicked his hind leg at Diana. She pped Latte¡¯s nose and he fell to the ground.

    As Diana was going to attack again, Latte screamed in pain and said, ¡°You... You! Why are you so ruthless?¡± Lattey on the ground motionless as though he had passed out.

    ¡°Ah?¡± Diana was puzzled. ¡°Did I hurt him?¡±

    Latte, who fell to the ground, was pleased. ¡°Humph, this super tactic of ying dead was taught by Matcha. I can save myself from a beating.¡±

    Diana walked to Latte and sniffed him. ¡°He doesn¡¯t seem dead. I didn¡¯t use too much force.¡±

    ¡°Did I hit a fragile cat?¡±

    A shadow was cast on both of them. Diana lifted her head and saw Zhao Yao in front of them.

    ¡°Zhao Yao!¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Diana, whose fur was cut from her head to back and said, ¡°What did you do? Do you know that this fur style is not suitable for you. There¡¯s no sweetness of a Ragdoll cat left and you look like a fool.¡±

    Diana looked sadly at the fur on her back and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t cut it! It¡¯s Matcha! Not only did he cut my fur, he also cut Elizabeth¡¯s fur!¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded gravely at Diana. He opened the Dimension Portal and said, ¡°I understand. Go in first. I¡¯ll get a hold of Matcha to clear the air.¡±

    Diana entered the portal. Zhao Yao frowned as he looked at Latte and said, ¡°Enough. Get up. You can stop pretending.¡±

    Seeing Latte remain motionless, Zhao Yao rolled his eyes. ¡°Latte... When did he learn to y dead?¡±

    Milk Tea ran forward, shook Latte with his paws, and said. ¡°Enough, stop pretending and get up.¡±

    Latte said telepathically to Milk Tea, ¡°Milk Tea, stop pushing me. Zhao Yao¡¯s testing me. If I ignore him, he¡¯ll believe me!¡±

    ¡°Who¡¯ll believe you?¡± Zhao Yao pped Latte¡¯s head and pointed at the Dimension Portal. ¡°Get inside. Remember this. Learn from Milk Tea. Don¡¯t pick up bad habits from Matcha.¡±

    Latte walked into the portal disheartened as he thought, ¡°He can see through my tricks. Where did I go wrong?¡±

    Sheriff, who was in Zhao Yao¡¯s armsughed. ¡°Little devil, your mistakes are so obvious.¡±

    After getting hold of Diana and Latte, Zhao Yao pursued Matcha based on his scent. Zhao Yao traveled with haste and he arrived at arge pit.

    Bai Quan was standing by the pit as he looked helplessly at the pit.

    Hearing the wind behind, Bai Quan turned his head and said, ¡°Boss? You¡¯re awake?¡±

    ¡°Hmm.¡± Zhao Yao looked at the pit and asked, ¡°What¡¯s this?¡±

    Napoleon and his apostles were crawling inside the pit like caterpirs and they shouted angrily at Bai Quan.

    ¡°B*stard! Do you dare to fight with us?¡±

    ¡°You are not a hero for trapping us in a pit! If you have the guts, let us out and fight fairly!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ve got it. We can stick to the ground and crawl out of this pit.¡±

    Bai Quan pointed at the apostles and exined, ¡°Their superpowers are to crawl on the ground and be invincible. I tried all methods of attack in vain so I dug a pit and led them inside.¡±

    ¡°Oh? Crawl on the ground and be invincible?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s brow pulsated as he looked at the apostles face-down in the pit. He lifted his hand and sliced them with the Deflective Field that had transformed into sword energy. However, it was ineffective.

    ¡°Interesting.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s troubled mind became lighter. He swept his gaze at the apostles inside the pit and rested his gaze on Napoleon. He stroked his chin and said, ¡°The superpower came from this Ragdoll cat?¡±

    Bai Quan said, ¡°Should be him. After hey prone on the ground, all my attacks became useless.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded with satisfaction. ¡°Not bad.¡± He opened a Dimension Portal in the pit and said, ¡°Bai Quan, lead them into the portal. I have things to discuss with them.¡±

    Caesar and Lightning, who were rescued by Bai Quan, ran over. They saw the unconscious Elizabeth, who was hit by tranquilizer darts and a glum Zhao Yao. They pointed to Elizabeth¡¯s bald head and stomach and said, ¡°Matcha did it.¡±

    Caesar said, ¡°ording to Elizabeth, Matcha cut her fur.¡±

    Zhao Yao covered his eyes and shook his head. He waved his hand and said, ¡°Get into the Extradimensional Belly. I have things to say.¡±

    Zhao Yao saw Bai Quan thinking of a way to lead the apostles into the portal and thought for a while before saying, ¡°It¡¯s too troublesome to make them go in one by one. Let me try.¡±

    Zhao Yao intended to use a Level 10 or higher superpower to see if it could affect this invincibility superpower. He switched to Catherine¡¯s superpower and made the apostles fall asleep.

    There were some apostles sprawled motionless on the ground. Zhao Yao¡¯s superpower was not able to affect all apostles.

    ¡°Even with the help of the power of awareness, my superpower¡¯s not 100% effective against this invincibility superpower.¡± Zhao Yao sneered while pondering. He saw the apostles fall asleep one by one and said to Bai Quan, ¡°Good, carry them into the Extradimensional Belly.¡±

    Bai Quan tried to carry them but in vain. Though, they were asleep, they retained their invincibility whileying prone.

    Though he was unable to carry them, he could carry them and the ground below them together.

    Bai Quan carried the apostles with their apanying ground into the Extradimensional Belly.

    Zhao Yao continued to track Matcha using his scent.

    ¡°Ares, what are you doing?¡±

    Zhao Yao lifted Ares, Lucifer, and the cats who were beating Cheese. Then he looked at Cheese, whose fur was cut. Zhao Yao covered his forehead and said, ¡°What are all of you doing?¡±

    Zhao Yao got hold of all the brawling supercats and threw them into the Extradimensional Belly to await his reprimand.

    Zhao Yao arrived at a cat dwelling and saw Matcha, Rice Cake, and Gaiaying on a bed yingputer games. They were ying happily, totally oblivious of what was happening outside.

    Zhao Yao snatched theirputer games and Gaia shouted angrily, ¡°Zhao Yao, what are you doing? Why did you interrupt ourputer games?¡±

    Matcha and Rice Cake red at Zhao Yao as they felt angry and indignant.

    Zhao Yao looked at Gaia and said, ¡°Still ying at this hour? How long have you yed today? Beware of sudden death and sleep early. Can¡¯t you wake up early to y?¡±

    Gaia was unhappy and said, ¡°You¡¯re bothersome. What wrong with yingputer games? It¡¯s better than fighting, damaging the sofa, and sleeping with female cats!¡±

    ¡°Stop ying today and sleep early.¡± Zhao Yao stroked Gaia¡¯s head.

    Gaia walked off in a huff. The angry Rice Cake and Matcha wanted to leave but was stopped by Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Rice Cake, do you know that your brother¡¯s fur was cut. Why are you still yingputer games?¡±

    Rice Cake was nonchnt. ¡°Without his fur, he¡¯ll be clean andfortable. If he doesn¡¯t like it, he can wait for the fur to grow.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head helplessly and pointed to the Dimension Portal behind him. ¡°Get in.¡±

    Once Rice Cake had left, Zhao Yao looked at Matcha and asked, ¡°What have you done tonight?¡±

    ¡°What did I do?¡± Matcha looked innocently at Zhao Yao and thought, ¡°Has my deception of Milk Tea and Airne been exposed?¡±

    Zhao Yao listened to Sheriff¡¯s mind reading while he looked suspiciously at Matcha and said, ¡°Did you cut Elizabeth¡¯s fur?¡±

    ¡°Elizabeth?¡± Matcha recalled Elizabeth¡¯s hrious state andughed loudly. ¡°Are you referring to furless Elizabeth? Humph, she started the fight so I bit off her fur.¡±

    Sheriff said telepathically to Zhao Yao, ¡°Matcha was beaten by Elizabeth so he bit off the fur from Elizabeth¡¯s buttocks. Matcha had no memories of cutting Elizabeth¡¯s fur as if he had not done it.¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and pointed at the Dimension Portal. ¡°Go in and stay there. I¡¯ll talk to youter.¡±

    Zhao Yao was about to catch other troublemakers when his ears quivered. He turned his head and saw blue rays of light. The Star Cats Arthas, Merlin and Anthony brought along their remaining cats and arrived before Zhao Yao.

    Roly Poly walked out and said to Zhao Yao, ¡°Zhao Yao! I brought Arthas and the cats to capture the troublemakers. There¡¯s noww and order on the ind.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Zhao Yao stroked Roly Poly¡¯s head and said, ¡°You¡¯ve done well.¡±

    Roly Poly smiled merrily and rubbed his head against Zhao Yao¡¯s palm. He thought, ¡°It feels so good to help Zhao Yao... I want to help him... Manage Cat Ind...¡±

    Sheriff listened to Roly Poly¡¯s thoughts and informed Zhao Yao, who caressed Roly Poly and said, ¡°Roly Poly¡¯s very obedient.¡±

    Project X thought, ¡°Good riddance, Roly Poly had controlled his thoughts and he¡¯s bing more powerful. I didn¡¯t choose the wrong cat.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Arthas and the Star Cats, who were behind Roly Poly and said, ¡°You¡¯ve done well. Bring the troublemakers into the Extradimensional Belly. I¡¯ve things to say.¡±

    Sheriff listened to Arthas, Anthony and Merlin¡¯s thoughts and informed Zhao Yao, ¡°They were convinced by Roly Poly to join the Royal Police Cat Guards.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Zhao Yao looked astonished at Roly Poly. The eight Star Cats were powerful supercats. If they joined the Royal Police Cat Guards, Roly Poly would be the most powerful supercat.

    Zhao Yao could not understand how Roly Poly could convince the Star Cats with his superpower.

    ¡°Listen to the Star Cats¡¯ thoughts and find out how Roly Poly convinced them.¡± Zhao Yao waved his hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go into the Extradimensional Belly.¡±

    ...

    In the Extradimensional Belly, Napoleon awoke and found things amiss. He was tied and hung from the air.

    Bai Quan lifted them up to remove the soil and rock from them. He threw them into the Extradimensional Belly to prevent them from lying down and bing invincible.

    Napoleon looked at the surroundings and found hispanions¡¯ legs and hands were all tied up as they hung from the air. Some shouted for help, some threatened, some roared in anger while others pretended to be innocent.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    ¡°Put us down immediately! We have a hundred more apostles waiting at the beach. They¡¯lle for us!¡±

    ¡°We were shipwrecked and came onto the ind by mistake!¡±

    Hearing themotion, Zhao Yao waved his hand to deprive the apostles of their senses and stopped their actions.

    ¡°Keep quiet. It¡¯s not your turn to speak.¡±

    Napoleon and his men were deprived of their senses and lost control of their bodies. They surveyed the surroundings and discovered that they were in an unknown room. There were about 200 supercats sprawling or sitting on the floor, looking at Zhao Yao.

    Napoleon was stunned when he saw Zhao Yao. ¡°This... this is Zhao Yao? Zhao Yao from Cat Wondend! Is he the Headless Horseman? Isn¡¯t he dead? Why isn¡¯t he dead?¡±

    Hispanions panicked when they found that Zhao Yao was not dead.

    Napoleon thought, ¡°This is frustrating. Am I being captured by the Headless Horseman? I heard that all cats that he captures are made to work like ves. I¡¯ll have to endure this for a time and find a chance to escape.¡±

    Napoleon thought, ¡°Humph, I have a strong superpower. I¡¯ll let the Headless Horseman know and he¡¯ll think highly of me. I might be his favorite cat. When there¡¯s a chance, I¡¯ll escape as I¡¯m not a pet.¡±

    Zhao Yao was not concerned about their thoughts. He sat on the sofa and looked at the surrounding supercats and said, ¡°I¡¯m very disappointed with your behavior. How long have I slept? Less than ten hours and what have you been doing on the ind? ying with water, damaging property, fighting, cutting fur. Are you getting out of hand?¡±

    All the cats looked down in fear. They dared not look into Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes.

    Zhao Yao looked at Dust Ball and sneered. ¡°Dust Ball, you chased all the cats from the Extradimensional Belly and used the seawater to spray the cats. You had made a mess of the Extradimensional Belly...¡±

    Dust Ball dashed out and sprawled on the ground. ¡°Zhao Yao, I repent! I know I¡¯m wrong! Please don¡¯t drench me with water! Don¡¯t cut my fur! I¡¯ll work hard to earn money for you!¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head, walked up and lifted Dust Ball. He stroked his chin and said, ¡°Dust Ball, I have kept you for several years. Why are you so tiny?¡±

    Dust Ball froze and had an ominous feeling. ¡°Huh?¡±

    Zhao Yao examined Dust Ball and said, ¡°You are not plump after feeding. You are disobedient, damage other people¡¯s property and bully other cats. This cannot go on. I can¡¯t keep such a cat here. Why don¡¯t I...¡±

    ¡°Make braised cat meat out of you!¡±

    Dust Ball was so scared she nearly peed. She smiled out of embarrassment and said, ¡°Zhao... Zhao Yao... Are you joking?¡±

    ¡°Am I joking?¡± Zhao Yao said. ¡°Braised cat meat is delicious. Add some eggs and vorings...¡± Zhao Yao threw Dust Ball to Midnight and said, ¡°Go and make some braised cat meat from it. Remember to add a few eggs.¡±

    Napoleon gaped at Dust Ball struggling and wailing as she was dragged into a container kitchen. In the midst of screaming, fresh blood sttered on the doorway.

    Napoleon was scared stiff and peed on the ground. He already heard that the Headless Horseman was the public enemy of supercats and a cat torturer. He did not expect the Headless Horseman to be so perverted he ate cats.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say to work hard and earn money?!!¡±

    ¡°Why did you eat cat meat?!!¡±

    Just as Napoleon was shaking with fright, Zhao Yao hooked his finger and said, ¡°Ares,e here.¡±

    Ares whizzed to the Dimension Portal. ¡°I don¡¯t want to be eaten! I don¡¯t want to die! My flesh is not delicious!¡±

    Ares ran for a few meters before Zhao Yao caught his tail and dragged him back slowly.

    ¡°Did you see how fat you are? I¡¯m unable to afford your voracious appetite. Your action of cutting other cats¡¯ fur is deplorable and you messed up the ind. I¡¯ll make barbecue cat meat out of you.¡±

    Seeing another supercat being sent into the kitchen, Napoleon was so shaken that he could not stop his teeth from chattering. His tail curled up into a bundle and he peed arge pool of urine on the ground.

    ¡°What shall I do? What shall I do? What shall I do?¡±

    ¡°Will I be eaten? Will I be eaten? Will I be eaten? Will I be eaten? Will I be eaten?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m going to die! I¡¯m going to die! I¡¯m going to die!!!¡±

    The panicked Napoleon was repeating himself in a low voice like a broken record.

    An apostle asked, ¡°Napoleon, do you know what they¡¯re talking about? Is this guy Zhao Yao? If he is, shout once. If not, shout twice...¡±

    ¡°D*mn shouting! Why did you drag me to Cat Ind?¡± Napoleon was so angry that he broke into tears. ¡°I was doing well as Elvis in university and you forced me toe to Cat Ind. I didn¡¯t find my Elizabeth. Instead, I will be eaten!¡±

    Napoleon became sadder the more he thought and became a wailing cry baby with mucus on his nose and face full of tears. ¡°Whoo-hoo!¡±

    Latte, who was beside Matcha, gaped in fear. He pushed Matcha and pointed at Zhao Yao. Then he pushed Matcha and pointed at Zhao Yao again.

    ¡°Maaaaa... tcha!¡±

    ¡°Someone ate a cat!!¡±

    Matcha turned his head, restrained the terrified Latte and said, ¡°Don¡¯t say a word! Don¡¯t attract Zhao Yao¡¯s attention! Follow me and look at your own paws as if nothing happened.¡±

    ¡°But, but! He¡¯s going to eat a cat!! ¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry Latte. He¡¯s scaring them. He won¡¯t eat them,¡± Matcha said. ¡°You must endure this and remain calm. Even if he doesn¡¯t eat the cats, if we are being targeted, who knows what Zhao Yao¡¯ll do.¡±

    After dealing with Dust Ball and Ares, Zhao Yao looked at Cheese, Diana, and Elizabeth, whose fur was cut. He asked with concern, ¡°Are you alright? Did you have a cold or are you running a fever? If you¡¯re sick, I can only make stewed cat meat out of you.¡±

    Elizabeth, who was lethargic because of the anesthesia, quickly shook her head frantically. ¡°I¡¯m alright. I¡¯m perfectly fine! I¡¯m feeling cool after the fur cut and veryfortable too!!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a pity. Stewed cat meat with catmint is delicious.¡± Zhao Yao showed a hint of regret. He looked at Matcha and asked, ¡°Matcha, Elizabeth and Diana said you cut their fur and Dust Ball said you burnt the catmint farm. What do you have to say?¡±

    Matcha froze as his hind legs became weak. He fell to the ground, unable to stand up.

    ¡°I ... I... I... I I, I, I, I, I, I, I ... ¡±

    Hearing Matcha stutter for a long time, Zhao Yao said, ¡°Are you saying that you didn¡¯t do it?¡±

    Matcha trembled heavily as he said, ¡°Yes, yes, yes, yes!¡±

    ¡°If you didn¡¯t do it, who did it?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s gaze swept across the supercats.

    Project X felt a cold sensation even though he did not have a body. He felt as thought cold sweat was forming on his body.

    ¡°Why... why do I feel so frightened? Hey, is your n foolproof? Will Zhao Yao eat the both of us?¡±

    ¡°What n?¡± Roly Poly was puzzled. ¡°Why would Zhao Yao eat me? I have just aplished a great feat for him. I restored order to Cat Ind.¡±

    ¡°You forgot you...¡± Project X was stunned as he spoke. ¡°Roly Poly was too calm. He alwaysmunicate with me telepathically. Even if he suppressed himself, he could not be so calm... unless...¡±

    ¡°Did he erase his memory?¡±

    ¡°Did Caesar do it?¡± Project X looked at Caesar from Roly Poly¡¯s eyes. ¡°If the thoughts of Caesar were being read... wait... Caesar¡¯s memories must be erased. If Roly Poly¡¯s memories were erased and Caesar¡¯s memory of erasing Roly Poly¡¯s memory was erased, then the plot will be aplete secret. Did Roly Poly think of this... when did he do that?¡±

    ¡°Why didn¡¯t I detect it? Unless!!¡±

    Project X looked surprised at Roly Poly, ¡°I¡¯m unable to detect because my memories were erased.¡±

    ¡°Why didn¡¯t he erase more of my memories? Why did he leave snippets of his plot...¡±

    ¡°Did he intentionally ce the memories with me? Because I¡¯m hidden in his subconscious and Sheriff¡¯s unable to read his subconscious, so he ced his plot with me?¡±

    ¡°To prevent Sheriff from reading his thoughts, Roly Poly used me as his memory backup.¡± Project X thought. ¡°Roly Poly might be able to...¡±

    Midnight entered and sent arge pot of braised meat to Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Boss, this is today¡¯s braised cat meat.¡±

    He opened the lid and fragrance pervaded the air. Pieces of braised meat floated on top of the soup.

    All the supercats were in a state of fear and suspicion.

    ¡°Did Dust Ball be braised meat?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t think so. If it is, Zhao Yao is too...¡±

    ¡°You are efficient Midnight.¡± Zhao Yao tasted the meat with his chopsticks. He chewed as he said, ¡°The meat¡¯s smooth and fragrant. It¡¯s better than pork and it tastes like beef.¡±

    Under the fearful gaze of the supercats, Zhao Yao continued eating the meat and said to Napoleon, ¡°What are you doing on Cat Ind?¡±

    Napoleon was more fearful than the other supercats. He peed as he wailed. ¡°I didn¡¯t want toe! They forced me toe here! I knew Caesar¡¯s family and I grew up with Elizabeth!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t eat me! I¡¯m your cat! I¡¯m your cat!¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Elizabeth and asked curiously, ¡°You grew up together?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know him.¡± Elizabeth turned her head away coldly. ¡°He was singing a different tune when he met me. He said he¡¯s going to capture all the cats on the ind. He was not leaving any cats behind.¡±

    After hearing Elizabeth¡¯s words, Napoleon froze as though he was hit by lightning.

    ¡°Is this bald and fat cat really Elizabeth?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m finished. Zhao Yao will know that I¡¯m here for the cats.¡±

    ¡°Am I going to be eaten? Braised or steamed? Steaming sounds very painful!¡±

    Numerous thoughts ran through his mind and it was about to explode. He did not know what to do and looked in a daze at Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°You¡¯re here to capture my cats? You are brave. I¡¯ll...¡±

    ¡°No!¡± Napoleon recovered himself and shouted in a shrill voice, ¡°Don¡¯t eat me! Don¡¯t eat me, I¡¯ll do whatever you say! Ooo, ooo, ooo, please don¡¯t eat me!¡±

    Zhao Yao finished a piece of braised meat and said slowly, ¡°Whatever I say?¡±

    ¡°Whatever you say!¡± Napoleon roared, ¡°Don¡¯t eat me! I¡¯ll be your ve!¡±

    ¡°Great, I like your sense of responsibility. Remember your words.¡± Zhao Yao straightened his body and showed his admiration. ¡°You¡¯ll help me earn money to repay the debt.¡±

    Napoleon heaved in relief and thought, ¡°Finally, I¡¯m safe.¡±

    Matcha and the cats looked at each other and they looked at Napoleon with pity.

    Matcha thought, ¡°The future of Napoleon... no... Napoleon has no future.¡±

    Elizabeth thought, ¡°Pitiful cat. Napoleon has to live in Zhao Yao¡¯s shadows.¡±

    Roly Poly thought, ¡°It doesn¡¯t mean Zhao Yao¡¯s going to really eat him. Paying his debt means he¡¯s selling his 10 kilograms of meat to Zhao Yao...¡± When Roly Poly recalled that he was paying his debt to Zhao Yao monthly, Roly Poly lowered his head and shed tears of sadness.

    Zhao Yao counted with his fingers and said, ¡°Since you are willing to pay, then things are easy. I¡¯m a reputable person. I¡¯ll tell you how much money you owe me. I¡¯m a just person. You¡¯ll never pay more nor pay less than your debt.

    When you pay for all the damages caused on the Cat Ind, I¡¯ll release you.¡±

    Napoleon nodded and he was feeling moved. ¡°Who said the Headless Horseman¡¯s unreasonable and despotic? He¡¯s understanding. I caused damages here so I shouldpensate.

    Fortunately, I¡¯ve been saving up these few years for a house. Should be about five million? I think it¡¯s sufficient to pay...¡±

    ¡°Hmm, let me calcte.¡± Zhao Yao squeezed his chin and said, ¡°Environmental conservation fees for damaging the trees and grasses... Fees for causing mental anguish to supercats... I¡¯ll give you a discount. An eight figure sum.¡±

    ¡°Eight figure sum?¡±

    ¡°Eight billion.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°I¡¯m giving you a chance. If you transfer eight billion to my ount by the end of the month, I¡¯ll let you go.¡±

    ¡°Eight billion?!!¡± Napoleon stuck out his tongue in shock. He gazed at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°You... could you calcte again? You didn¡¯t use a calctor and you counted in a few seconds...¡±

    Napoleon was angry inside. ¡°You are bulls*itting. How did I cause eight billion in damages?!¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t have to use a calctor. Don¡¯t think that I¡¯m a normal person. My brain calctes faster than a calctor. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t make a mistake,¡± Zhao Yao said gently. ¡°How¡¯s that? Are you using Alipay or credit cards?¡±

    Napoleon gazed at Zhao Yao and thought gloomily, ¡°What Alipay? Where can I get eight billion? You are too unscrupulous!¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Napoleon and said, ¡°What? You aren¡¯t willing to pay?¡± He took a piece of braised meat and swallowed it as he gazed menacingly at Napoleon.

    Napoleon nodded his head and said, ¡°I¡¯m willing... I¡¯ll pay... pay the money!!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Zhao Yao took out a piece of paper from his back and put it in front of Napoleon. ¡°Sign and put down your paw print. From now on, I¡¯m your debtor. As long as you pay up, you won¡¯t be eaten. You¡¯ll have peace daily.¡±

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll be safe from being eaten and I can lead a peaceful life.¡± Napoleon signed the paper and printed his paw on the agreement. He thought, ¡°The Headless Horseman is well prepared. I¡¯m able to sign immediately.¡±

    Zhao Yao took back the signed agreement and examined it. He smiled with satisfaction and said, ¡°Good, from now on, you¡¯ll be my cat. What¡¯s your name?¡±

    Napoleon said in a daze, ¡°Napoleon.¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled merrily and said, ¡°Fine, Napoleon, please wait a moment before I make work arrangements for you.¡± Zhao Yao looked at the humans, who were with Napoleon, and said, ¡°As long as you finish paying for all the damage, I¡¯ll let you go.¡±

    Napoleon heaved in relief. ¡°Everyone will help to pay the eight million. If that¡¯s the case...¡±

    ¡°What nonsense.¡± Zhao Yao said in surprise, ¡°Each one of you pays eight billion.¡±

    Napoleon gaped for a long time.

    An apostle who was tired of living jumped out and shouted, ¡°Eight billion?! Why don¡¯t you kill me? I¡¯ve got no money but you can take my life!¡±

    ¡°Hehe.¡± Zhao Yaoughed coldly and everyone felt a cold draught blowing on their bodies.

    ¡°Tired of living?¡± Zhao Yao took out his Dragon ying Saber from his neck and said, ¡°I¡¯ll never kill the innocent and I¡¯ll never kill you.¡±

    ¡°Thinking of not paying up? Where¡¯s thew and order? ¡± Zhao Yao flicked his finger and the saber turned into a golden ray and stabbed the apostle¡¯s arm.

    The apostle screamed in pain and rolled on the ground violently. His gut wrenching screams made everyone¡¯s hair stand up and they felt depressed.

    As the saber was about to stab him again, the apostle screamed, ¡°I¡¯ll pay! I¡¯ll pay! Don¡¯t stab me.¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at other apostles and asked, ¡°Is anyone else not paying up?¡±

    All the supercats felt disheartened. Midnight, Lang Gou and otherpanions, who were busy in the kitchen, looked at each other and said, ¡°Finally, we¡¯re getting help in the kitchen.¡±

    After condemning them to pay off their debt, Zhao Yao curled his fingers and then Ares and Dust Ball, who were tied up and had something stuffed in their mouths, flew out of the kitchen. The supercats who were watching heaved a sigh of relief.

    Matcha said, ¡°I knew it. Although Zhao Yao is a bit sadistic, he has not reached the stage where he would eat cats.¡±

    Latte heaved a sigh of relief and fell to the floor. ¡°It scared me so much...¡±

    Napoleon was confused.

    Zhao Yao looked at the two cats then looked at the other supercats and said, ¡°I have been very understanding. I do not really control you guys. I turn a blind eye towards those who y games through the night, date, and even give birth.

    Zhao Yao continued. ¡°However, you guys caused a havoc on Cat Ind when I was asleep. What do you guys want to do? Rebel?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked towards Ares and Dust Ball. They were relieved that they were not going to be eaten. Zhao Yao said coldly, ¡°Ares, Dust Ball, you two are the leaders of the ntation department and Cat Fighting Unit. Yet, you do not help in keeping order on Cat Ind. You brought cats to bully other supercats and caused chaos on Cat Ind. You two will not receive any sry for the next year, do you have any objections?¡±

    Although Ares and Dust Ball could not bear to but they didn¡¯t dare to have any objections to make. They nodded in agreement.

    Zhao Yao turned and looked at the other supercats involved in the fight. ¡°They rest of the cats who helped in the fighting, you will not receive sry for the next half a year. If you guys do this again, I will barbecue all of you.¡±

    Napoleon was in deep thoughts when he saw the supercats being punished. ¡°Er... Something doesn¡¯t seem right.¡±

    When Zhao Yao was lecturing the cats, Sheriff was reading the minds of all the cats. It was to observe their reactions and it was also to find the culprit who burnt the catmint field and shaved Elizabeth¡¯s fur.

    However, after reading all their minds, especially after the few suspects that Zhao Yao had in mind. There was no result at all, the culprit was not found.

    Zhao Yao was thinking, ¡°Every cat on the ind is here... Why... unless the cat thought of a way to avoid the mind reading.¡±

    In Zhao Yao¡¯s mind, there were dozens of ways andbination of powers to avoid the mind reading. However, there was none which could be proven immediately.

    ¡°Humph, there is a cat being mischievous again.¡±

    Zhao Yao decided to pretend like he had not noticed and find a chance to catch the cat red-handed.

    Zhao Yao looked at Matcha and chatted privately. ¡°Take the me and I will buy all the runes for you.¡±

    Matcha was stunned and then he spat out his tongue like a dog. ¡°No problem.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Matcha, did you shave Elizabeth and Diana fur and burnt the catmint field?¡±

    Matcha spat his tongue and said, ¡°Yes.¡±

    Milk Tea and Latte looked at Matcha. Milk Tea said, ¡°Brother Matcha! You cannot admit it when you didn¡¯t do it!¡±

    Matcha kept his tongue and said coldly, ¡°Humph, I will admit to what I have done. In my life, I have never done something that needs to be hidden away.¡±

    Matcha looked at Dust Ball and Elizabeth. ¡°I have endured you guys for very long. This time it is just shaving and burning, if you piss me off again. I will kill both of you.¡±

    Looking at the angry faces of Dust Ball and Elizabeth, Matcha looked at the sky in disdain. He thought, ¡°Hehehe, am I being very cool and arrogant?¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned and said privately, ¡°It¡¯s too overboard.¡±

    Matcha fell to the ground and flipped over on his back. ¡°Zhao Yao, it was not me! I did not shave the fur or burn the catmint field! I was acting cool just now! It was all lies.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°There is solid evidence. Stop denying. I will cut your sry for three years and you will be imprisoned. For the next three years, without my permission, you are not allowed to leave Cat Wondend and Cat Ind.¡±

    Roly Poly saw Matcha looking depressed and his eyes were gleaming. Project X was thinking. ¡°Roly Poly has seeded?¡±

    After dealing with the issues on Cat Ind, Zhao Yao also ordered for the reconstruction of Cat Ind, importing of catmint and for Napoleon to follow Bai Quan around to work. The apostles who barged onto the ind had to pay Bai Quan, if they did not have the money, they would have to work to repay it.

    After taking care of all of this, Zhao Yao brought the sleeping Arria and Asser to Sphynx cat¡¯s tomb.

    At first, he wanted to settle Sphynx cat¡¯s issue immediately when he woke up. Who knew that he would be met with so many issues that had dragged on till now.

    Looking at Sphynx cat¡¯s frozen body, Zhao Yao woke Arria and Asser up.

    The two cats crawled up and hugged each other while trembling when they saw Zhao Yao.

    Asser: ¡°Zhao Yao! What do you want! I am not afraid of you!¡± As he spoke, he hugged tighter onto Arria.

    Zhao Yao looked at Arria and said, ¡°You have the power to resurrect cats or humans.¡± He pointed at Sphynx cat and said, ¡°I want you to resurrect him.¡±

    Arria looked at Sphynx cat, who was in an ice coffin and said, ¡°I need the Door of Evesting Life and it has been destroyed by you. I can¡¯t resurrect anything.¡±

    Zhao Yao grinned. ¡°I know your powers clearly. I will help you create a Door of Evesting Life...¡±

    When he dragged the two cats into the dream, Zhao Yao did not just scare them. He used all the scenes in it to test the two cats and get more information on how they work.¡±

    Asser had the power to control blood. He could control life by controlling blood, he could also heal injuries and increase powers by absorbing blood.

    As long as there was life for him to absorb nearby, he could battle immortally. If he absorbed millions of people¡¯s blood, he would temporarily be stronger than Sphynx cat.

    For Arria, his powers were more special. He could create the Door of Evesting Life. Strictly speaking, resurrecting was not Arria¡¯s powers, it was the Door of Evesting Life¡¯s powers. Arria¡¯s powers was to create the Door of Evesting Life.

    After the Door of Evesting Life was built, he could revive himself countless times. He could also drag other cats or humans into it and resurrect them countless times.

    Of course, such horrifying powers, also had strong side effects or price.

    Arria looked at Zhao Yao and answered hesitantly, ¡°The power of resurrection is not without a price. There is no free meal on earth and to resurrect a dead cat it would be even more...¡±

    ¡°I know that there needs to be a price and I also understand theplications behind it. It¡¯s okay. I am willing to pay it.¡± Zhao Yao carried Arria and ced him on top of the coffin to see Sphynx cat clearly.

    ¡°All I need you to do is to create the Door of Evesting Life and revive him. I will provide you with everything you need.¡±

    ¡°The price to pay for the Door of Evesting Life is a life for a life right?¡± Zhao Yao looked at Arria and said, ¡°One of the most important materials in building the door is fresh blood. The blood is best when taken from a life with intelligence right?¡±

    Arria looked at Zhao Yao in surprised. ¡°How do you know?¡± Then, he remembered his experience in the dream and nodded. It was natural for Zhao Yao to know.

    For Matcha and the rest it was just one night but, for Arria and Asser it was an eternity.

    Afterall Diana was Lv15 and when she cast her powers, every second that passed in the real world was twenty plus hours in the dreamscape. If she cast her powers after transforming, the time in dreamscape could be more than thirty hours for every second in the real world,

    Arria and Asser was stuck in the dream for the whole night and spent many years in dreamscape.

    They were surrounded by zombie Zhao Yao, chased by ghost Zhao Yao, terrified by hundred meters tall monster Zhao Yao and was under pursuit by robotic Zhao Yao across several continents ...

    The experience they had in one night was enough for them to write novels of a few million words and of multiple genres like spiritual, sci-fi, city life and more.

    Due to thesting memories of the dreams, they had an ingrained fear of Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao continued. ¡°I will ask all the cats on the Cat Ind to help you build the Door of Evesting Life as for the fresh blood that you need for building the door, I will be providing that.¡±

    ¡°You will be providing?¡± Arria said. ¡°The amount of blood required is huge. Especially if the blood is not from a being with intelligence, the amount needed will be multiplied by ten times. Thest time I built the Door of Evesting Life, I used animal blood and it took us very long to collect them.

    It also has to be a life for a life. If animals are used, the amount of animals needed is also rming. I could only gather enough animals because I ruled the entire kingdom...¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I will do it.¡±

    When Arria saw that Zhao Yao did not say anything, he thought to himself, ¡°Judging by how cruel this devil is, he may do anything to build the Door of Evesting Life.¡±

    With Zhao Yao¡¯s full support, hundreds of supercats used their powers and a stone door that was a dozen meters tall was built in the north of the Cat Ind.

    It was different from the giant door and fortress in North Africa, there was no need to build Arria¡¯s pce here. Only the door would be built. With hundreds of cats using their powers plus Zhao Yao and Bai Quan transporting the materials personally, in less than three days, the general structure was ready.

    This day, Arria stood on top of the Door of Evesting Life and looked at Zhao Yao. ¡°Now, we need to use fresh blood and pour it onto the Door of Evesting Life to activate it. But... where is the blood you prepared?¡±

    Arria looked at the empty patch ofnd in front of the door and had no idea where he was going to get arge amount of blood to pour onto the Door of Evesting Life.

    Zhao Yao grabbed Lucifer out from his arms and said, ¡°It¡¯s here.¡±

    Arria was taken aback. ¡°A cat?¡±

    Zhao Yao did not hesitate to stab Lucifer in the chest and apanied by Lucifer¡¯s groans, fresh blood poured out. The blood sshed across Arria¡¯s foot.

    Arria frowned. ¡°One cat is not enough...¡± Then, he thought. ¡®What a cruel and evil guy. How could he do this to his own cats.¡¯

    Before Arria could finish his sentence, he saw Zhao Yao left the dagger in Lucifer¡¯s chest. Then, Zhao Yao pressed Lucifer¡¯s body to squeeze out more blood.

    ¡°Ahh!¡± Lucifer was struggling. ¡°Zhao Yao... You... what do you want! Don¡¯t stab me.¡±

    Arria saw how ¡®cruel¡¯ Zhao Yao was and chills ran down his spine. ¡°This fellow is too brutal, I better not offend him.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the amount of blood Lucifer was producing in dissatisfaction. ¡°This is too little, this will take too long.¡±

    Then, to Arria¡¯s surprise, Zhao Yao released Deflective Field¡¯s sword aura, chopped off one of his own arms and watch the gushing blood pour onto the Door of Evesting Life.

    ¡°You! You! You!¡± Arria was shocked by Zhao Yao¡¯s action and thought to himself, ¡°This is too brutal! Isn¡¯t this too inhumane? He chopped himself?¡±

    However, after watching a while, he saw the Zhao Yao¡¯s arm heal and grow out then, he understood. ¡°This is the Ultra Rapid Regeneration power? Even if it is Ultra Rapid Regeneration. it will still hurt right?¡±

    He saw Zhao Yao tremble when he chopped off his arm again. Arria thought, ¡°He is so cruel, it must hurt. How can he endure it? However, even if this is the case, wanting to use his own blood to supply the door is ridiculous.¡±

    Five hourster...

    Arria was lying on the Door of Evesting Life in shock, he looked at the puddle of blood under him and looked at Zhao Yao, who was still bleeding. He thought, ¡°This works? Even if it is Ultra Rapid Regeneration, is he a robot? How can he torture himself like this?¡±

    Another five hours passed and Zhao Yao looked at Arria and said, ¡°Is it enough?¡±

    Arria nodded his head. ¡°It is enough.¡± The Door of Evesting Life under him was giving off a blood red glow and the red glow grew darker and darker under Arria¡¯s control. It seemed like it was gradually turning ck.

    In the middle of the door, there was a gust of ck smoke and it seemed like the Door of Evesting Life had been connected to an abnormal dimension that gave out a chilling aura.

    Arria shouted, ¡°The Door of Evesting Life was been opened. In the next hour, there must be life sacrifices for the process to beplete or all the work will be wasted.¡±

    Arria looked at Zhao Yao and it there was a cold gleam in his eyes. ¡°Sacrifice 10 lives with intelligence or 10000 farm animals or 100000 birds or one billion insects... Kill them and throw them into the Door of Evesting Life. This is the price for opening the Door of Evesting Life.

    All the life has a price with the Door of Evesting Life. Opening it, closing it, and reviving will all require different prices.¡±

    Looking at Zhao Yao, Arria thought. Using other people¡¯s lives to save one of your own, as long as the Door of Evesting Life is opened, it will be a path of endless ughter. He is destined to be the world¡¯s enemy. What will he do now?¡±

    In the Arria¡¯s shock, Zhao Yao walked in front of the Door of Evesting Life, took a step forward and chopped off his own head.

    He watched Zhao Yao¡¯s body and head fall into the Door of Evesting Life. Arria¡¯s mouth opened in disbelief and he could only shout. There was only one reaction in his brain.

    ¡°He actually sacrificed himself?!¡± Arria was stunned. ¡°Has this guy gone mad?¡±

    He was dumbstruck as he stared at the spot where Zhao Yao had vanished. More ck fog billowed out from the Door of Evesting Life as Zhao Yao¡¯s corpse crossed over. The thick ck fog continued billowing, as if it was brought to life.

    ¡°This guy, just because he wanted to save his cat, he actually...¡± Arria shook his head. He was still stunned by what had just happened.

    At that moment, his image of Zhao Yao hadpletely changed. What he first thought of as apletely evil, demonic person who bullied the kind and oppressed the weak was actually a genuine, sincere, devoted and humble person, a fool who would actually give up his own life to save a cat.

    ¡°What a fool, even if you sacrificed yourself, it would only be one life. What use would that be?¡±

    Arria shook his head ruefully. However, he smiled when he saw that the Door of Evesting Life had been built. ¡°I¡¯m free again... Now I need to think of a way to open the door and catch some men to work for me so that I can upgrade the Door of Evesting Life...¡±

    Just as Arria was imagining his great future, he suddenly saw a sh of a human shadow. Zhao Yao walked out of the Door of Evesting Life in one piece, as if nothing ever happened to him.

    Arria¡¯s eyes almost popped out of his sockets as he gaped at Zhao Yao, who looked perfectly unharmed. Arria rubbed his face hard with his paws as he stared at Zhao Yao again. It dawned on him that Zhao Yao had really stepped out from the Door of Evesting Life.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Did the Door of Evesting Life lose its powers?¡±

    He sensed it again and realized that the Door of Evesting Life had actually received a sacrificial intelligent life form. There was nothing wrong with the Door.

    ¡°What on earth is happening?¡±

    For the whole of that night, he perched atop the Door of Evesting Life as he watched Zhao Yao bring over the apostles he had held captive with him, Midnight, Lang Gou and gang, as well as Bai Quan and the rest.

    Next, Zhao Yao decided to let Matcha lend his time freeze ability to these people. However, when he saw that Matcha¡¯s loyalty was full at 100 points, he snatched over Matcha¡¯s phone and deleted the runes that he had just gotten from topping up his game credits.

    Amidst Matcha¡¯s screams, his loyalty slipped by a few points.

    Matcha¡¯s Loyalty -1

    Matcha¡¯s Loyalty -1

    Matcha¡¯s Loyalty -1

    ...

    Next, Zhao Yao let Matcha lend his ability to the apostles before he helped Matcha top up his game credits on Mobile Legends again.

    After that, aside from Bai Quan who killed himself, all the other apostles were killed by Zhao Yao and thrown into the Door of Evesting Life. Thereafter, they were able to revive and walk out using Time Distortion.

    Although all the apostles had the power of Time Freeze, they were defenseless against Bai Quan and Zhao Yao, who were far more superior in physical strength. Hence, they had no choice but to be sacrificed.

    In less than half an hour¡¯s time, the sacrifice for the Door of Evesting Life waspleted. However, Zhao Yao did not stop at that. Instead, he spent the whole night killing and dumping bodies into the Door of Evesting Life to make up for the number of human lives needed for the Door of Evesting Life.

    When the night had passed, Zhao Yao let Caesar erase some people¡¯s memories so that they could forget the whole experience of borrowing Time Freeze and the revival process.

    Arria was dumbstruck by the countless number of times whereby Zhao Yao and the others killed people to sacrifice them. He slowly began to understand the rationale behind this.

    ¡°This guy¡¯s supercats also have the ability to regenerate and revive?¡±

    When Arria realized that, his view of Zhao Yao changed yet again.

    Revival is undeniably an immensely strong superpower. The stronger the user is, the greater the effects of the regeneration ability.

    Now, Zhao Yao had a Level 10 Matcha. He had the ability of Time Distortion, which allowed him to revive once every three hours. His regeneration abilities could be said to be at the level of Bug.

    When such an ability met that of the Door of Evesting Life, it was a perfect match as it truly maximized the use of the Door of Evesting Life. It would create an unprecedented synergy effect.

    Just like that, he repeated the process of revival with the crowd every three hours and relied on this to fulfil the required sacrifices.

    Zhao Yao stared at the cold, foreboding Door of Evesting Life in satisfaction as it billowed thicker and thicker with ck smoke. ¡°This is as good as umting revivals using the Time Distortion ability.¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled slightly when he turned and looked at Midnight and the other people who have lost their memories of the previous night.

    However, to Midnight and the rest, his smile was creepily sinister and full of bad intentions.

    In fact, this was true as Zhao Yao had considered letting these guysmit suicide every night to boost the Door of Evesting Life.

    Even if they could revive, the pain and the fear of death would linger forever. Comitting suicide everyday would definitely not be an enjoyable experience.

    The only thing to be d about was the fact that their memories of every night that was toe would be erased. At least they could still feel a sense of novelty in killing themselves every night.

    Midnight stared at the ck smoke billowing at the Door of Evesting Life. Though he could no longer recall what the Door was for, he had this lingering sense of uneasiness about it. He could not help asking, ¡°Boss, what is this thing?¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled and said, ¡°This thing is called The Midnight Paramount. There are hundreds of human pleasures beyond that Door. You guys cane here and y every day after midnight from now on. It¡¯s a very fun ce.¡±

    Arria thought to himself at the side, ¡°More like hundreds of ways tomit suicide...¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s attitude now was unbelievably nice, which made Midnight and the rest feel overwhelmed by his sudden kindness.

    However, this was because of the new function Midnight and the rest served for Zhao Yao. In Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes, their utility had surpassed the average man, to the point where they had be human poppies. Keeping them by his side was a much needed boost for him.

    Midnight thought, ¡°What is this Zhao Yao up to? Why is he looking at me with such lecherous eyes. Is he...¡±

    Lang Gou nced at his pants and touched it before he put his hand to his nose to smell. ¡°Why did I wet my pants? Howe I don¡¯t remember wetting my pants?¡±

    After pacifying and sending Midnight, Lang Gou and the rest home, Zhao Yao turned to Arria and said, ¡°The price of revival should be enough right? Can I revive Sphynx cat now?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not enough,¡± Arria said, ¡°The Door of Evesting Life contains 32 lives now. If you let him be my horseman, every life in the Door now can revive him once. However, the cat that you want to revive was not my horseman while he was alive. Also, he had been dead for so long. He is an immensely strong cat as well, so you would need to umte at least 100 lives to be enough to revive him.¡±

    The revival ability of the Door of Evesting Life was interlinked with the deceased¡¯s strength, time of death and the condition of his corpse. The stronger the deceased, the longer his death had been and the poorer the condition of the corpse, the greater the price of revival.

    Zhao Yao nodded. The Door of Evesting Life was actually very simr to his Book in some aspects. There were some rules to be adhered to before one could stand to gain, and there were various transactions involved as well.

    However, Book¡¯s function was forpleting missions and leveling up supercats, while the Door of Evesting Life¡¯s function involved the process of sacrificing lives, revival and leveling up, on top of strengthening Arria¡¯s horsemen.

    This was also the first time Zhao Yao came across a superpower that worked in a simr way as the Book.

    Hence, Zhao Yao spent the next two days bringing apostles to The Midnight Paramount to ¡®y¡¯. Once he umted a 100 lives, he was finally able to hit the target required to revive Sphynx cat.

    Zhao Yao pushed the freezer containing Sphynx cat into the pitch ck abyss of the Door of Evesting Life. Beside him, Arria¡¯s eyes turned bright blue.

    The ck smoke in the Door of Evesting Life began billowing rapidly and tumultuous, as if an invisible beast was roaring and charging around within it.

    The next moment, a strong cat paw shed through the ck smoke and emerged from the Door of Evesting Life.

    ...

    At the same time, in the capital city in the North.

    A huge group of leaders were gathered together in a conference room. Amidst their confused stares, an elder with a cat in his arms stepped forward.

    Starting from the United States, Giggle, who had secretly gained control of numerous political elites in big countries, raised his head. As he stared at the leaders before him, his power of Awareness flowed out instantly, controlling all the political leaders, security and apostles at the scene in a sh...

    ¡°From today onwards, your countries all belong to me,¡± Giggle slowly said, ¡°Just like most other countries on this, the only reason for your existence is to ensure that I can lead a happier life.¡±

    ¡°Next, I will be giving you guys two missions.¡±

    ¡°The first mission is to promote Closers World on all fronts. I want every cat and human in your country to y this game.¡±

    ¡°The second mission. Help me find an apostle...¡±

    <h4>Chapter 971: The Attack</h4>

    Giggle¡¯s prowess was equivalent to that of a Level 19 supercat in the Book. Faced with such a strong supercat like Giggle, it was impossible for normal apostles and supercats to defend themselves against his powers. Even Zhao Yao, who used the superpowers of Level 15 Diana against Giggle, had no choice but to flee back then.

    These earthling apostles and supercats were naturally defenseless against Giggle.

    With a light touch of his power of Awareness, their minds and thoughts were immediately distorted to obey Giggle. They had instantly turned into Giggle¡¯s underlings with undying loyalty towards him.

    Giggle allowed the political elites to leave after he easily manipted them andid down the two missions.

    He had done the same thing many times. Many of the big countries on Earth were already under his control.

    ¡°Humph, when I finally manage to control all the governments on this, I will rule over all of them. These governments will be searching for you and surveince will be nted everywhere to seek you out. I¡¯m sure I will find you then.¡±

    Giggle¡¯s pupils constricted slightly as he recalled the image of the male figure who had cheated in Closers World.

    Although Giggle had almost absolute control, it was impossible for him to control every single person on the after all. Even with his powers, controlling the political elites of various states was the maximum he could achieve.

    The changes in the power politics of the higher ups and their abnormal behavior came to the attention of many, especially the lower to middle ranking political elites.

    Not to mention the high-ranking, powerful apostles thatcked political authority.

    When they sensed the abnormalities in the upper levels, all kinds of tests, resistance, and spying activities ensued.

    On Earth, a rising force slowly built up to resist Giggle¡¯s powers and control.

    A wave of undercover activities swept across the world, foreshadowing the impending storm.

    However, Giggle was totally nonchnt about the brewing wave of resistance. He just had to get rid of the leader riding on the waves of dissent to secure his control. He did not even try to hide his existence.

    In primitives like these, his powers were almost unstoppable. Countless others simr to this hade to ruin in his hands as well.

    ...

    On the Cat Ind, Zhao Yao stood on the highest cliff on the ind. He stared at the back of the cat in front of him and asked curiously, ¡°What does it feel like to have experienced death?¡±

    Sphynx cat sat like a human, cross-legged on the edge of the cliff. He stared at the sunset in the horizon as he said, puzzled, ¡°There¡¯s nothing special about it. Death is like falling asleep. Aside from darkness, it was absolute emptiness. There was nothing at all and nothing existed. But...¡±

    Sphynx cat stared at the world before him and inhaled deeply before he said, ¡°But when I could see this world again, I felt even more alive now.¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked Sphynx cat¡¯s head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t trust that alien cat. I need a cat to keep a watch on the Door of Evesting Life.¡±

    Sphynx cat nodded and replied, ¡°I will stay here to keep guard.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded in return. Arria was an alien cat after all. He was a cat that ruled over countless humans in ancient times and yed an instrumental role in shaping the history and existence of Earth. Zhao Yao decided that it was too risky to leave such an important tool like the Door of Evesting Life to Arria alone.

    Furthermore, Arria and Asser had very strong innate capabilities to begin with. They too had mastered the power of Awareness, so all the supercats below Level 11 were no match for them.

    However, Sphynx cat¡¯s superior physique did not fall under that category. Especially since Sphynx cat had sharply urate insight abilities, extremely quick reaction time and a multitude of battle experiences on top of his physical supercat abilities, he was the best cat to supervise the two alien cats. With Sphynx cat watching them, Zhao Yao could feel more assured now.

    ¡°The Door of Evesting Life is still a very useful tool. If I umte lives in the Door everyday, I will be able to umte many more instances of revival,¡± Zhao Yao hugged Sphynx cat as he said, ¡°From now on, besides helping me to keep watch on those two alien cats, I will also need you to help me umte revival counts...¡±

    Zhao Yao briefly exined his grand ns for the umtion of revival counts. ¡°Midnight... Matcha... Runes... Kill...¡±

    After hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s ns, Sphynx cat raised an eyebrow as he stared at Zhao Yao.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You don¡¯t get it?¡± Zhao Yao asked Sphynx cat earnestly, like a farmer who was concerned about the conditions of his field. ¡°Let me exin the n more precisely to you again.¡±

    ¡°No need, I get it...¡± Sphynx cat said. He thought to himself, ¡°This world is really still as cruel as it was before...¡±

    In the next month, Zhao Yao continued to live in hiding. As he traveled the worldpleting missions, he kept on logging in and out of Closers World and opening ounts with a different ID to boost his progress bar.

    The Door of Evesting Life had umted thousands of sacrificial intelligent lives, which was enough to revive Sphynx cat 10 times over.

    However, as Zhao Yao quietly developed his capabilities and leveled up, the superpower realm across the world had be increasingly turbulent because of the upheaval which Giggle had created.

    ...

    Inside a conference room.

    More than ten famed supercats and apostles from Southeast Asia gathered around the table. The atmosphere was deadly serious.

    ¡°This cannot go on,¡± a middle-aged man said, ¡°This cat¡¯s power and influence is getting out of control. The United States, China, Japan, South Korea, Thand... they have all sumbed to him.¡±

    ¡°If this goes on, the whole world willpletely fall under his control.¡±

    ¡°The situation in India is equally critical,¡± a dark-skinned Indian man said. ¡°More than half of the higher ups have fallen under his control. Some were unwillingly controlled, but most others defected of their own ord.¡±

    A white cat typed rapidly his phone to say, ¡°This is the scariest part. It¡¯s like a snowball avnche. More and more people and cats willingly join him after discovering his prowess. The number of resistance forces are dwindling as well.¡±

    ¡°But they are too strong,¡± the Indian man replied. ¡°I heard even the Headless Horseman from China was also killed by them.¡±

    The middle-aged man said, ¡°So we must unite our forces. We can¡¯t be lone wolves fighting our own battles now. The American continent is almostpletely subsumed under his control. The situation here in Southeast Asia isn¡¯t looking good either. Judging from their direction, their next targets will be West Asia, Europe, Africa...¡±

    Right at that moment, a loud explosion was heard as the wall at the back of the conference room was sted apart. A horde of apostles d in ckbat uniform rushed in.

    ¡°It¡¯s people from the Star Cats!¡±

    ¡°Retreat!¡±

    ¡°Ah! They¡¯re his apostles!¡±

    The wrath of the power of Awareness swept across them. One by one, the apostles from the resistance forces sat back down as their faces contorted.

    Maria slowly walked in. She was the head apostle under Giggle and she was also the one who first led a team to capture Zhao Yao in Jianghai.

    During this period, Giggle focused his attacks on various countries in Southeast Asia. She was the apostle who led the team in cleaning up all kinds of resistance forces.

    She nced at the humans and cats in the room coldly. Maria said, ¡°Bring all of them back for interrogation.¡±

    One of her henchmen beside herughed. ¡°These idiots. They didn¡¯t even know we nted a spy amongst them.¡±

    Maria shrugged and said, ¡°Bring them back and control one or two humans and cats as bait. Meanwhile, there are still some troublemakers left in Thand. FInish them off in three days. We will move on to assist the team in India next.¡±

    More than ten apostles charged out from behind Maria and knocked out the resisters one by one before moving them to the car.

    Giggle¡¯s n was to assume control over the top political elites in every country. His apostles would be tasked with eliminating the resisting apostles by defeating and controlling them.

    Just like Maria had used her superpowers to control more than ten apostles who had initially resisted.

    Under this constant absorption and control, both his opposers and supporters were subsumed under his authority.

    Giggle¡¯s power was like a snowball avnche that had amassed at an rming rate. After gaining control of the Americas, he had now gained an absolute advantage over Southeast Asia as well. Sess was only a matter of time in the eyes of Maria and her men.

    ...

    On Cat Ind,te in the night.

    Bai Quan frowned as he went to look for Zhao Yao. ¡°Boss, we have a problem.¡±

    Zhao Yao, who was waiting to calcte his monthly payout, asked curiously, ¡°What happened?¡±

    Bai Quan replied, ¡°Uncle Ho called me again. He hopes that I can go and help.¡±

    As Zhao Yao had faked his death previously, only the highest authorities in the country knew about his situation.

    After Giggle gained control of the political elite in the country, Uncle Ho and the rest also started to probe into the issue and subsequently started a resistance movement.

    However, Uncle Ho did not know that Zhao Yao had faked his death, so he only contacted Bai Quan for help.

    In their eyes, Zhao Yao had entrusted Cat Wondend to Bai Quan, so Bai Quan should have inherited many of Zhao Yao¡¯s previous superpowers.

    Zhao Yao frowned. ¡°He called again? Reject him then.¡±

    Although Giggle gained control of the highest authority figures, he did not ask about Zhao Yao¡¯s situation. Based on what he knew, the small fry which Tom wanted to kill in real life had already died.

    On the other hand, there was no rtion between the cheater in Closers World and Zhao Yao.

    However, Zhao Yao also understood that if the other party had actually mobilized all his intelligence to investigate, then he would realize that this issue would just be an issue of time.

    Hence, before this, Zhao Yao did not want to reveal his identity. He only wanted to amass power at the fastest pace he could, to the point where he would be able to defeat the alien cat, Giggle.

    Bai Quan said, ¡°The situation sounds really dire. The North has totally sumbed to his control. Uncle Ho and the rest managed to contact the remaining Natural Disaster apostles in a bid to rescue our political leaders. They hope that I can go and help him.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head. ¡°Now is not the time yet.¡±

    Right at that moment, Bai Quan¡¯s phone rang. Uncle Ho¡¯s anxious voice rang out. ¡°Bai Quan, we¡¯re in a crisis now. If we don¡¯t resist now, more and more people will join them. We won¡¯t be able to stand a chance against them in the future!¡±

    Bai Quan turned to look at Zhao Yao. He knew Zhao Yao could hear the voice in the phone call. When he saw Zhao Yao shake his head, Bai Quan replied, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±

    ¡°Aye...¡±

    Uncle Ho ended the call amidst a long sigh.

    Lin Chen who was beside him asked, ¡°What did Bai Quan say?¡±

    Uncle Ho shook his head. ¡°He doesn¡¯t want toe.¡±

    Another white man beside them said, ¡°Is he the Headless Horseman¡¯s sessor? He still wants to iste himself from the critical juncture we are in now?¡±

    A ck man said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, since he doesn¡¯t want to. Wasn¡¯t the Headless Horseman killed by Maria as well? That¡¯s proof that his abilities were unable to deal with Maria and her apostles.¡±

    Uncle Ho remained silent as he stared at the two foreigners before him speak. They were apostles sent from Europe to assist and cooperate with them, under themon goal of resisting Giggle¡¯s influence and power.

    He did not want to reveal too much information about Zhao Yao to them as well. He only continued discussing their ns and strategies to defeat Giggle¡¯s apostles.

    ¡°Self-reliant superpower is the best solution in this case. Orc transformation abilities, shooting, Time eleration...¡±

    ¡°We must ambush them. We don¡¯t have the power to fight them head on.¡±

    ¡°There is no point in simply killing masses of apostles. Our key target should be to kill that supercat, or else he can always find ways to create even more apostles to control us.¡±

    ¡°Although he could directly control the awareness of others, he does not have the power to fight in a physical battle. His weak physical body is his biggest weakness.¡±

    The n of Giggle and his men was to control as many people as possible, so that they could finally control the whole Earth.

    Hence, Uncle Ho and the resisters knew very well that the only way out was to kill Giggle. Or else, there would be no point in killing the people under Giggle¡¯s control.

    ¡°Thankfully they have slowed down their pace in expansion. Perhaps there is some sort of limitation to their abilities.¡±

    Of course, what Uncle Ho and the rest did not know was that Giggle¡¯s supposedly slow pace was simply because much of his attention was still focused on Closers World. Even when choosing the countries to be attacked, he just turned the globe from East to West to pick the countries.

    In Giggle¡¯s eyes, the difference between the big and small countries in this was merely a matter of difference in poption numbers. Compared to that cheater in Closers World, the resisters in the real world did not pose a threat to Giggle at all.

    The white man said, ¡°Gather all the best supercats and apostles to assassinate Giggle. Once we kill him, all the other problems would eventually be solved.¡±

    ¡°Time eleration... Laser... Crack Shots... Superhuman qualities...¡±

    ¡°Gather the top self-reliant superpowers and the best equipment and weapons to kill him. This would be our only chance.¡±

    ...

    On the Cat Ind, Bai Quan looked at Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°Boss, do we really not stand a chance at all now?¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head. ¡°Yeah. The other party might not even be physically present in Earth. It doesn¡¯t matter how many times his physical form dies as he could change it easily. To kill him, we must first master the power of Awareness so that we can destroy his Awareness topletely eliminate him.¡±

    ¡°Or else all other actions would only warrant unnecessary attention from him.¡±

    After crossing swords with Giggle twice, Zhao Yao had a decent understanding of Giggle¡¯s abilities.

    Controlling Awareness and distorting the mind were extremely strong abilities to begin with. Complemented with an extremely strong power of Awareness, the might and threat posed by Giggle¡¯s abilities had reached an extreme where even the Level 15 Diana had no choice but to flee when faced against him.

    That was why Zhao Yao decided to hide quietly and amass his power. His intention was to kill in a single blow.

    However, he could not provide such intelligence to Uncle Ho and the other resisters. After all, this could very likely lead Giggle to target Uncle Ho and his associates, which could implicate Bai Quan and potentially reveal himself before the time was ripe.

    He shook his head and gave up the thought of striking now. Zhao Yao turned to the panel in the Book. It was time to calcte the monthly payouts again.

    Zhao Yao had conscientiouslypleted missions without fail everyday in the month to level up his progress bar. Diana finally leveled up again and reached Level 16. After her transformation, her physical immunity factor increased to 60% while her power-up factor increased to 160%.

    ¡°This is too slow,¡± Zhao Yao frowned. ¡°At this rate, I would need at least half a year to reach Level 19 just to be on par with Giggle¡¯s powers. I need to think of other ways...¡±

    After doubling the business profits, Zhao Yao earned 30 000 experience points. Coupled with the experience points earned from missions, Zhao Yao¡¯s panel became:

    Book: Level 8 (47 717/100 000)

    Matcha: Level 10

    Elizabeth: Level 9(14 500/100 000)

    Dust Ball: Level 9 (13 800/100 000)

    Ares: Level 8 13 800/50 000)

    Lucifer: Level 8 (8900/50 000)

    Sphynx Cat: Level 7 (9900/20 000)

    Catherine: Level 12

    Diana: Level 16

    He decided to save up the experience points instead of leveling up now. Zhao Yao stared at the 90 chances he had to draw rewards. It troubled him.

    The number of chances he had at the rewards draw every month was calcted based on his share of the catmint market in Jianghai.

    90 draw chances meant that Dust Ball Catmint¡¯s market shares had dropped from 100% to 90%.

    This was partly influenced by the burning of the catmint stock. However, the main cause still stemmed from the disorder in the top authorities and Zhao Yao¡¯s feigned death which resulted in changes in various channels. As such, Dust Ball Catmint no longer fully dominated the Jianghai catmint market.

    ¡°I need to think of other ways to boost the progress bar this month. I¡¯ll just draw the rewards first.¡±

    Looking at the 90 chances he had to draw rewards, Zhao Yao clenched his teeth and drew them all in one shot.

    Aside from gaining nearly 10 000 experience points and more Spicy Cat Strips, he also drew three Improvement Stones and Cat Prince Costume Fragments.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes immediately lit up when he saw the total number of fragments.

    Fragments of the Cat Prince Costume (82/80)

    ¡°I¡¯ve finally got you.¡±

    After almost a year of collecting, Zhao Yao had finally drew enough Cat Prince Costume fragments to redeem the actual Cat Prince Costume. He chose to redeem it immediately and a ck costume materialized from thin air, slowly descending into his hands.

 Chapter 973: The Cat Prince Costume

    <h4>Chapter 973: The Cat Prince Costume</h4>

    A ck costume materialized in Zhao Yao¡¯s hands. Strange, golden cat paw prints shed intermittently on the costume. Zhao Yao brought the costume closer to him. It was as though he could faintly hear meows in the air.

    ¡°I finally got you, Cat Prince Costume.¡±

    Zhao Yao was ted. He slowly read the information transmitted to his mind about the costume.

    ¡®The Cat Prince Costume is a costume that contains the intelligence of countless cat species. It performs various powerful functions.

    1. Self-cleaning: Just like how a cat licks itself everyday, the self-cleaning ability of the Cat Prince Costume can be activated every hour to clean the costume and the dirt on the wearer¡¯s body.

    2. Stretch and Retract: The Cat Prince Costume can extend itself just like a cat to suit the physique of the wearer. It gives the wearer a strong defensive power.

    3. 100 Changes 1000 Illusions: Records up to 12 different costume designs to create illusions of different apparels.

    4. Superpower Perfusion: Borrow and store up to two kinds of supercat abilities. Only one ability can be used at a time.

    5. Leopard¡¯s Thunder: The Cat Prince Costume can conduct self-repair through specialized vibrations. Prolonged wear will enhance the physical qualities of the wearer.

    Zhao Yao was evidently surprised by the five functions of the Cat Prince Costume. They were much more powerful than he had expected. Zhao Yao quickly took off his clothes and donned the Cat Prince Costume to try it out.

    The moment he put it on, Zhao Yao instantly felt the costume shrink automatically to suit his physique. The costume fit nicely and was as light as if he was in his own skin.

    Zhao Yao tried pulling the costume. He realized it could still be stretched much further, as though it was a rubber band.

    He fashioned a de out of the Deflective Field and casually stabbed himself. The de shed down hard, but it left him totally unharmed. When he struck two sword fields at the same time, the Cat Prince Costume began to wear out. When he struck three sword fields at the same time, a small tear appeared in the Cat Prince Costume immediately.

    ¡°The defense is not bad. If one sword field has no effect on it, it means that most light weapons would have no effect on it as well.¡± Zhao Yao looked at the tear in the costume. He watched as the ck clothing vibrated slightly before the tear repaired itself. It was just like Lucifer¡¯s Ultra Rapid Regeneration powers.

    ¡°Very good. I won¡¯t be afraid of damage to it at this rate.¡± Zhao Yao nodded his head in satisfaction. ¡°With this self-repair and strong defense power, I wouldn¡¯t need to care about most normal attacks now.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought for a while before he pressed his palm on the clothes he took off. He watched as the Cat Prince Costume began to shrink and suck in the clothes.

    When the clothes werepletely sucked in, Zhao Yao thought of changing into them. The costume he was wearing transformed like a chameleon into thefortable T-shirt and shorts he was wearing previously.

    As Zhao Yao¡¯s thoughts changed, the clothes squirmed andpleted self-cleaning. Zhao Yao¡¯s sharp senses clearly felt the grease and stains on his body being cleaned off, making him feel much morefortable.

    ¡°Not bad, not bad.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes brightened up. ¡°Does this mean I don¡¯t need to bathe or change my clothes anymore?¡±

    He stared at his clean clothes in delight and proceeded to try out the most important power ¨C Superpower Perfusion.

    He immediately called Matcha over. The whole process was simr to that of a supercat lending his ability to an apostle. However, this time, the target was the Cat Prince Costume, and even at a full 100 points of loyalty, Matcha was able to lend his powers to the costume.

    One minute after Matcha pressed his palm on the costume, Zhao Yao felt that he was able to cast the power of Time Freeze directly through the Cat Prince Costume.

    He could even switch to the Deflective Field ability and use it at the same time.

    This meant that Zhao Yao could cast two different superpowers simultaneously after donning on the Cat Prince Costume.

    However, that was not the most important part. Unlike the Cat Princess¡¯ Dress, the description of the Cat Prince costume indicated that it was able to borrow superpowers beyond the scope of the Book.

    Zhao Yao called Roly Poly over to try lending his powers to the Cat Prince Costume. It seeded.

    Zhao Yao could easily switch between the powers of Time Freeze and invisibility while wearing the costume. Roly Poly was shocked when he saw how Zhao Yao could y around with the power of invisibility and disappear at will. He thought to himself, ¡°What¡¯s going on? Wasn¡¯t Zhao Yao unable to borrow my powers previously? Howe he¡¯s able to do it now?¡±

    Project X remarked, ¡°This guy became even stronger. Roly Poly, you need to train overtime starting tonight, or else your superpower will be more and more obsolete.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes grew wider and brighter as he seeded in borrowing superpowers with the Cat Prince Costume. This meant that aside from the 8 different kinds of superpowers that were contracted in his Book, he could borrow the superpowers of the remaining 200 over cats on the Cat Ind and use them at the same time.

    ¡°Although the strength of the other supercats cannotpare to that of the supercats contracted in the Book, when many of these superpowers are paired...¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately thought of the abilities of each and every supercat on the Cat Ind and started forming variousbinations in his mind.

    In fact, Zhao Yao liked the superpowers of the many other supercats on the Cat Ind a lot. However, the Book contract required him to level up the contract cats, and leveling up required the umtion of experience points. As such, Zhao Yao was not able to fully utilize the abilities of the other supercats on the Cat Ind.

    However, the situation was different now. With the Cat Prince Costume, Zhao Yao could borrow and use the abilities of the other supercats while using the superpowers of the Book¡¯s supercats at the same time.

    ¡°Though the alien cats¡¯ power of Awareness gives them immunity against average superpowers, I will still be able to craft many other kinds of battle tactics bybining the two.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought for a while more and chose to store the time freeze ability in the Cat Prince Costume. As such, the power of time freeze would always be on standby whenever he wore the Cat Prince Costume.

    As for the second ability to be stored, he had many other options in mind.

    ¡°In this case... I might actually be able to fight a real battle with that alien cat.¡±

    Zhao Yao suddenly nced at his own Cat Prince Costume and thought, ¡°If I wear this to battle, will I ruin itpletely? Or is it possible to draw a few more Cat Prince Costumes for Bai Quan, Zhao Xue and the rest to wear?¡±

    Zhao Yao turned towards the rewards pool again and instantly realized that the Cat Prince Costume Fragments had already disappeared. A new gear appeared in its ce. It was called the Cat Emperor Armor Fragments.

    The moment he saw that, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes sparkled with joy. His heart started racing and his face reddened in excitement.

    ¡°This is good stuff. One look and I can tell.¡± However, seeing how he had used up his draw chances, Zhao Yao sighed deeply. He so badly wished he could top up hundreds of thousands of draw chances and draw out all the good stuff in the rewards pool.

    ¡°Is there a way to increase my chances in drawing rewards?¡±

 Chapter 974: Upgrades and Assassinations

    <h4>Chapter 974: Upgrades and Assassinations</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    While he thought about the number of draws, Zhao Yao tried to exchange for the Cat Princess¡¯ dress to see if he could use another ability. It turned out that the costume and the dress could not be used simultaneously.

    He tried to use the Improvement Stone to strengthen the Cat Prince Costume, which seeded with +1 points.

    Cat Prince Costume +1. Defense power increased by 10%.

    ¡°Haha, the Improvement Stone works.¡± However, Zhao Yao¡¯s face fell when he saw that he was only left with two Improvement Stones. The number of Improvement Stones he had were not enough. The stones could not only be used for Cat Prince Costume, they could also strengthen the various other equipment he had, such as the Dragon ying Saber, Titanium Dog Eye, Paralysis Ring, etc. The number of Improvement Stones he had now was too little.

    The Improvement Stones could only be drawn from the rewards. Ultimately, the problem still stemmed from the limited number of draws he had.

    As Zhao Yao was thinking of how to increase his rewards draw chances, he suddenly noticed that a new mission had appeared.

    Mission: Transform and Upgrade

    Mission Objective: Promote and sell Dust Ball Catmint to the rest of the country. The monthly payout mission will be upgraded after selling to more than 30 cities.

    Reward: Monthly payout mission upgrade. Uponpletion of the new monthly payout mission, up to 300 rewards draws will be awarded every month.

    Mission Penalty: None.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw the new mission. His monthly catmint payout now gives him 1 rewards draw for every 1% of the catmint market share he owned in Jianghai. However, he could only get at most 100 draws every month.

    Uponpletion of the Transform and Upgrade mission, the monthly payout mission would be upgraded to give up to a maximum of 300 rewards draws.

    ¡°This is great... But what a pity, what a pity...¡± Zhao Yao shook his head after a momentary exuberance.

    Although he badly wanted toplete this mission to upgrade it again, given the current situation, Giggle¡¯s men and his influence had already be omnipresent in the country. Considering how the upgraded payout mission was probably rted to the national market level, to sell catmint to more than 30 cities in the country would make exposing his identity and existence all too easy.

    ¡°Rewards upgrade and evolution progress... Both seem to be blocked by this alien cat.¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned. Both of the methods in which he could gain the greatest upgrades in his powers all seemed to be blocked off course by that alien cat.

    ¡°With the Cat Prince Costume, maybe I can think of other ways to deal with him now.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought of all the possible new battle tactics, methods andbinations of abilities to fight against the alien cat.

    However, Zhao Yao did not immediately act on it. He thought over it slowly and carefully to consolidate his ns.

    In the next few days, Zhao Yao continued to train hard and increase his capabilities while trying out all sorts of new battle tactics made possible by the Cat Prince Costume, to think about how to upgrade more quickly.

    ...

    Meanwhile, in the faraway maind of America.

    ¡°Giggle! Take my blow!¡±

    Tom ran into Giggle¡¯s room happily and sted his power of Awareness at Giggle. However, he felt as though his power banged against a mountain and rebounded immediately. It had totally no effect on Giggle.

    Tom was shocked as he stared at Giggle and said, ¡°I have been ying the game for more than 14 hours now. I have already be so much stronger. How is it possible that you¡¯re not affected by my powers at all!¡±

    Giggle chuckled slightly. He looked at Tom and said, ¡°You¡¯re not the only one who¡¯s improving. By controlling the countries on this, my game has been promoted and flourished across the world. As the number of yers increased, Closers World became much stronger as well. I naturally stood to gain from this.¡±

    Tom whined, ¡°D*mn! Does this mean I won¡¯t ever be able to overpower you?¡±

    Giggle said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯re only slightly over five years old. You¡¯re still young. You¡¯ve got so much time ahead of you...¡±

    Bam!

    Just as the two cats were in the midst of talking, a rocket missile shot through the window pane towards the two cats.

    Raging mes and extremely high heat engulfed the whole house. The specialbustion agent that was added into the missile increased the temperatures of the mes by thousands of degrees, directly turning everything in the room into ashes.

    On the rooftop across the street, a white man slowly retracted his bazooka while calming his nerves. ¡°I¡¯ve seeded. 3000 degrees of burning mes should be enough to burn the hell out of these two cats.¡±

    Another soldier said excitedly, ¡°We seeded? I will inform the higher ups immediately. You did a good job this time...¡±

    The man put down his bazooka and rxed. ¡°Let¡¯s retreat first. The apostles of those two cats will arrive very soon.¡±

    However, the next thing he knew, the soldier beside him turned around and stared at him coldly as he asked, ¡°Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?¡±

    The man paused for a moment before he asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you, Jason?¡±

    The soldier which Giggle had possessed rolled his eyes and said, ¡°Tom, stop fooling around.¡±

    Before he knew it, the man realized that he was no longer in control of his own body. A stranger¡¯s voice sounded out from his mouth. It was Tom. ¡°Hey, could you quickly exin yourself. I still have an instance dungeon to conquer.¡±

    The man¡¯s Awareness blurred. He blurted out all the things he knew in no time.

    Tom said, ¡°That¡¯s not of much use. He knows too little.¡±

    Giggle replied, ¡°He knows that we can control them, so he wouldn¡¯t let them know too much as well. But it doesn¡¯t matter...¡±

    ¡°Just kill them on the spot.¡± A vicious glint shed across Giggle¡¯s eyes. ¡°Our key target is still that guy who cheated in Closers World. He¡¯s like a parasite. I won¡¯t be at ease as long as we haven¡¯t killed him.¡±

    This first assassination aimed at Giggle marked the start to more and more kinds of assassinations that were toe.

    The mostmon ones were snipers, poison and explosives.

    All sorts of strange powers showed up as Giggle killed the supercats he took control of one by one.

    This was the humans¡¯ counterattack against Giggle. Nobody wanted a mere cat to rule over their heads, control countless countries and dictate the future of Earth from behind the scenes.

    However, the results of the assassinations brought nothing but despondence and hopelessness to all the resistance groups.

    Faced with a spirit that could not be killed or defeated, had the power to turn theirrades against each other and turn even the most loyal subjects to despicable spies, countless apostles began to feel a sense of doom and fear.

    ...

    ¡°It¡¯s no use, no use at all.¡±

    The white man from the special forces who plotted the assassinations with Uncle Ho previously shook his head. His eyes were bloodshot as he said, ¡°No matter how many times we kill him, he can always possess another cat. There¡¯s no way to kill him at all.¡±

    The ck officer said, ¡°Explosives, poison, dismemberment, burning and electrocution... These were all useless against him. A normal death means nothing to him.¡±

    Uncle Ho looked a little tired and jaded as well. He tried out all sorts of methods for the assassination only to realize that they werepletely useless. This was a serious mental blow to him.

    Uncle Ho slowly said, ¡°The most problematic issue at hand is assassinating Giggle. After all our assassination attempts failed, as far as I know, the resisters from CIA, FBI and the Star Cats in the United States had all chosen to surrender.¡±

    The white man remarked somberly, ¡°We have also lost contact with the resistance groups in India and Thand. There are news that some of them were sighted amongst Maria¡¯s men.¡±

    Uncle Ho said anxiously, ¡°This can¡¯t go on. If everyone loses heart and confidence in this, we would really not stand a chance anymore.¡±

    ¡°But what other choices do we have? All the weapons and superpowers that we know of are useless against him!¡± The white man shouted angrily. ¡°We have already run out of choices.¡±

    The ck officer muttered, ¡°Maybe surrendering is the only choice we have.¡±

    ¡°We can¡¯t surrender. We haven¡¯t lost yet,¡± Uncle Ho said. ¡°Let me contact Bai Quan again. If we can get the help of the supercats the Headless Horseman left behind...¡±

    The white man scoffed and said, ¡°The Headless Horseman can¡¯t even win Giggle¡¯s apostle, what use would his supercats be. The amount of power we had amassed in this time had already far exceeded that of his.¡±

    Uncle Ho remained silent after hearing him. He knew the opponent was powerful but he had no choice but to pin his hopes on the unfathomable Zhao Yao who also had the Time Freeze superpower.

    ¡°Is Zhao Yao... really dead?¡± Uncle Ho remained suspicious of his death and kept contact with Bai Quan.

    ...

    ¡°Boss, it¡¯s Uncle Ho.¡± Bai Quan held his cell phone and walked to the beach. He saw Zhao Yao floating in mid-air pondering as Zhao Yao gazed at the ocean.¡±

    ¡°Act ording to my previous instruction.¡± Zhao Yao smiled and he stroked his chin. ¡°After hiding for such a long time, it¡¯s time for me to make my move.¡±

    For the past month, Zhao Yao worked to upgrade himself and think of ways to deal with the alien cats. Finally, it was time for him toe out of hiding.

    ...

    Uncle Ho put down his phone and said happily, ¡°Bai Quan agreed to help us fight against Giggle. We¡¯ll organize a counterattack.¡±

    A white agent frowned and shook his head. Before discovering Giggle¡¯s real weakness, we don¡¯t intend to do anything.¡±

    Uncle Ho was shocked and said, ¡°Durant, are the British giving up?¡±

    The British Protoss unit representative, Durant, said, ¡°We¡¯re not giving up, justying low. Our attacks have proven ineffective against Giggle. Our counterattack will only incur unnecessary casualties.¡±

    Uncle Ho said, ¡°Bai Quan said he¡¯s able to defeat Giggle. If he¡¯s sessful, it¡¯ll be a good chance to regain the world apostles¡¯ confidence.¡±

    Durant shook his head in disagreement. ¡°Do you think that an amateur who has not participated in any assassinations is better than our professional and well-equipped apostles?

    A ck officer shook his head and said, ¡°Ho, you are not logical.¡±

    Uncle Ho said, ¡°I believe in Bai Quan¡¯s judgement. The Headless Horseman¡¯s supercats possess incredible superpowers that can defeat Giggle.¡±

    The ck officer shook his head again. ¡°You¡¯re irresponsible with your subordinates. The Divine Sword will not participate in this operation until we discover Giggle¡¯s weakness. We won¡¯t haverge scale operations.¡±

    Uncle Ho frowned and asked, ¡°Are the French giving up too?¡±

    The ck officer said, ¡°This is our responsibility towards our subordinates. We won¡¯t let them be sacrificed for nothing.¡±

    Seeing both of them leave, Uncle Ho¡¯s confidence was shaken. ¡°Is Bai Quan able to defeat Giggle?¡±

    After thinking for a while, Uncle contacted other countries like Japan... Vietnam... Australia... America... Canada...

    For the past few days, Uncle Ho reached out for partners in this operation but he was rejected and discouraged.

    After a month of assassination and hunting, Giggle managed to fend off the attacks and taught the apostles of the world a lesson such that they were cowering with fear.

    No matter how Uncle Ho coaxed, nobody was willing to participate in this operation against Giggle.

    Uncle Ho understood this was the worst scenario that he mentioned. The confidence of the apostles was shaken and nobody was willing toe out. Everyone took a neutral stand in order not to sacrifice their apostles.

    ¡°If this continues, it¡¯s a matter of time before we lose.¡±

    He did not have allies¡¯ help and the situation within China was equally bad.

    There were no trustworthy superiors and it was hard to determine the loyalty of the subordinates. There were powerful apostles but none of them was Giggle¡¯s match and it was impossible to kill Giggle.

    Excluding Bai Quan¡¯s supercats, Uncle Ho only had two to three supercats under his disposal.

    Uncle Ho felt depressed, uncertain and hopeless about the human¡¯s future.

    ¡°Uncle Ho, what¡¯s with you? You looked like you had constipation for a week. Do you need my help?¡±

    Hearing the familiar and yful voice, Uncle Ho was shocked as he stared wide eyed at Zhao Yao, who was in a western suite. Zhao Yao was carrying and cuddling a cat as he smiled at Uncle Ho.

    ¡°Zhao Yao... You didn¡¯t die! I¡¯ve always said good people don¡¯t live long. How could you die so early!¡±

    Zhao Yao was glum and said, ¡°What nonsense is that? No one¡¯s helping you except for me.¡±

    Uncle Ho was touched and said, ¡°Thank you. The apostles of the world were unwilling to join us. Even if we cooperate, our strength¡¯s weak.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°It¡¯s alright, you still have me. It¡¯s enough for you to prepare our battlefield and provide intelligence.¡±

    ¡°Are you, Bai Quan and the supercats fighting against Giggle?¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head and said, ¡°Not so troublesome. Only me.¡±

    ¡°A one man show?¡± Uncle Ho was astonished and said, ¡°Are you mad? Do you know how many Americans and supercat casualties we had?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not killing Giggle. We¡¯ll deal with his apostles.¡± Zhao Yao smiled and said, ¡°We¡¯ll give him some trouble to distract him. Then we¡¯ll look for his weakness. Though we can¡¯t kill him but I¡¯m confident of dealing with him.¡±

    Zhao Yao understood that with his current power, he was unable to confront Giggle directly.

    However, it did not mean he was unable to pit against Giggle. With his improvement in power, he also made strategies based on his and Giggle¡¯s power.

    With his current superpower and the Cat Prince Costume, Zhao Yao was confident of dealing with Giggle. With superior tactics, Zhao Yao wanted to narrow the difference in superpower or to improve his efficiency in collecting energy for evolution.

    ording to Diana, Arthas and his analysis, Closers World was absorbing the mental energy of the yers to strengthen itself. If he went into hiding, Giggle could be stronger.

    ¡°I see...¡± Uncle Ho nodded in agreement and said, ¡°What help do you need? I¡¯ll fully support you.¡±

    Half an hourter, Uncle Ho woke up in a daze. The contents of the conversation he had had were erased.

    He read a note left on his office table and he understood everything.

 Chapter 976: Live Stream

    A week after Uncle Ho and Zhao Yao met.

    In the training base of the British Protoss unit, Durant, who had returned from China, received a secret email.

    He opened the web addresses on the mail and discovered they were live streaming cameras.

    ¡°What¡¯s this?¡±

    He frowned and discovered it was in a condominium located in the United States. A few apostles stayed in the condominium.

    ¡°They seem like...¡±

    In the office of the French Kensei unit, the ck officer frowned as he looked at the live stream. ¡°Are they Chinese apostles? What are they doing?¡±

    Simr incidents urred in tens of global supernatural organizations. The elite apostles of the world were watching the condominium in the middle of the United States.

    The events in the building stimted their senses.

    A group of ck-d men charged into the building like leopards on the prowl. They demolished walls and knocked down doors with lightning speed. The conflictsted a short while and the apostles were all subdued.

    Durant¡¯s brow pulsated and he said, ¡°It¡¯s the Star Cats¡¯ men and Giggle¡¯s top apostle Maria. Did she return to the United States?¡±

    The ck officer shook his head. ¡°Are they Uncle Ho¡¯s men? Why did they leave so many apostles in the United States? They didn¡¯t put up much resistance. Are they giving up?¡±

    ...

    Maria walked into the building escorted by ten powerful apostles.

    Seeing the resisting apostles who were restrained on the ground, she frowned. ¡°Are they the ones who contacted my family?¡±

    ¡°They are weak and foolish.¡± Maria looked at them and said, ¡°Let me see who sent you here.¡±

    The power of awareness flowed from Maria¡¯s mind to the apostles on the ground.

    ¡°Which organization do you belong to?¡±

    The building started quaking. The top floor tore open and it spread to the lower floors. The blue sky showed through the opening.

    Zhao Yao floated down from the torn roof and looked down on Maria and her men.

    Maria was shocked as she gazed at the headless ck-robed apostle and said, ¡°Headless Horseman? No, he¡¯s already dead. I controlled him and watched him get shot. Who are you?¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled and said coldly, ¡°Only the few of you? Don¡¯t go back.¡±

    ¡°Nonsense.¡± Maria smiled and attacked using her power of awareness. She intended to capture then interrogate him.

    Durant and the ck officer were shocked as they did not expect to see the Headless Horseman on the live stream.

    They did not expect Zhao Yao to survive the encounter.

    In the next instance, everyone stared wide-eyed at the images on the screen.

    The Headless Horseman charged forward and ignored Maria¡¯s superpower of distorting awareness as he grabbed Maria¡¯s head and smashed it on the ground.

    Maria opened her mouth and her head was throbbing with pain. Her mind became nk and she almost passed out.

    The surrounding apostles were astonished and immediately retaliated.

    ¡°Release her immediately!¡±

    ¡°Stop!¡±

    ¡°Beat him to death!¡±

    The apostles, whose awarenesses were distorted by Maria, attacked Zhao Yao with waves of superpowers.

    Zhao Yao held down Maria¡¯s head while he pointed with his finger and used the Deflective Field to project fire, lightning, acid and air stream attacks.

    Zhao Yao flicked his finger and blocked three attacking apostles who were using lightsabers and long swords. Thest apostle transformed into a rock golem.

    ¡°Get lost.¡±

    Zhao Yao activated his superpower with a gentle breath.

    The light saber wielding apostle flew out and fainted in mid-air as his lightsaber vanished in the air.

    The rock golem apostle disintegrated and numerous stones shot out in all directions.

    Thest apostle with long sword dodged Zhao Yao¡¯s attack but felt Zhao Yao¡¯s palm turning into a ck lightning and thunderstorm bearing down on him. He was unable to evade and smashed through walls andnded in a bang on the street ten meters away.

    After blocking their attack and subduing the three apostles, Zhao Yao surveyed the environment casually.

    ¡°The remaining 32 apostles...¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no reinforcement unit in the outer perimeter...¡±

    ¡°Maria¡¯s in a half-conscious state. Her superpower¡¯s useless against me...¡±

    As expected by Zhao Yao, the alien cat did not lend a powerful superpower to Maria.

    Maria¡¯s superpower was useless against Level 16 Diana and Zhao Yao, who was borrowing Diana¡¯s superpower.

    Zhao Yao used the Cat Prince Costume to borrow Diana¡¯s superpower and he had Level 16 superpower resistance. He was also protected by Ares¡¯ Deflective Field.

    ¡°The alien cat didn¡¯te?¡± Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes. Even if he reserved half of his power to defend against the alien cats, his remaining power was more than sufficient to deal with the present apostles.

    He restrained Maria and sat motionless. With his superior constitution and Deflective field, he had defeated dozens of apostles.

    A few apostles flew out asionally and smashed through walls or ss andnded unconscious with a loud thud on the streets.

    Maria struggled violently but Zhao Yao pressed her head lightly and she fainted. Her borrowed superpower from Giggle did not have any effect on Zhao Yao.

    Within a short time, dozens of apostles dwindled to only three. They looked dazed at Zhao Yao as they could not decide whether to fight or run.

    Zhao Yao did not let up his guard. Attacking Maria was a distraction as his real target were the alien cats. He focused his attention on the alien cats who would arrive at any time.

    Durant and the ck officer were shocked by what they saw.

    They had encountered apostles like Maria. They could only kill them in a sneak attack but were unable to defend themselves against the distortion of their awareness.

    Once Maria fixed her attention on the apostles and supercats, their awareness would be distorted and controlled.

    The Headless Horseman was able to resist the distortion of awareness and they were surprised.

    A man barged into Durant¡¯s office and shouted, ¡°Important news Durant, take a look at the website that I¡¯ve sent you.¡±

    Durant said bewildered, ¡°What?¡±

    The man looked at Durant¡¯s screen and said, ¡°You are watching too? The entire inte was abuzz and countless people were watching the live stream!¡±

    ¡°What did you say? How many people are watching?¡±

    ¡°ording to the inte department, at least a few billion people were watching and the number is increasing.¡±

    A shocking pressure was emitted from Maria¡¯s body. Zhao Yao shed and retreated by a couple meters as he finished switching his superpowers.

    He looked at Maria who stood up slowly and thought, ¡°Finally, he¡¯s here.¡±

    Seeing Maria stand up, feeling the domineering aura and noticing the Level 19 above her head, Zhao Yao smiled and said, ¡°Finally, he¡¯s here.¡±

    He asked Doll via the ear microphones, ¡°Doll, how many people are watching?¡±

    In outer space, inside the space station, Doll, who was preparing to leave Earth, sucked at his engine oil while he looked at the screen and asked his cat artificial intelligence, ¡°Headless, how many people are watching?¡±

    Headless said, ¡°Hmm... about 1.3 billion people are watching. I hacked the top global websites to live stream, but...¡±

    Doll asked curiously, ¡°But what?¡±

    Headless said, ¡°But they¡¯re not interested in the contents of the live stream. They were saying strange things...¡±

    Doll asked bewildered, ¡°What¡¯s that?¡±

    Headless showedrge volume ofments.

    ¡°Oh heck! I have just finished my work and you are showing me this?¡±

    ¡°F*ck! I had just reached my critical moment!¡±

    ¡°Thank you administrator. Greetings... What¡¯s going on? Why is the previous video gone?¡±

    ¡°Is this a new drama series? Very refreshing idea.¡±

    ¡°The protagonist¡¯s without a head? Is this Ghost V? Gothic style... I like it..¡±

    ¡°Whichpany shot this? This Ghost V¡¯s special effects are way better than ¡®The Avengers¡¯.¡±

    Doll felt something amiss and immediately asked, ¡°What website did you hack? Is this a mainstream website?¡±

    Headless listed his hacked websites and said, ¡°Beep... beep... yes, these are the global top 100 websites ording to the download volume, visit duration, and data transaction volume.¡±

    Puff...

    Doll sprayed a mouthful of engine oil on the screen and said, ¡°What are the humans thinking about all day?¡± He ordered, ¡°Don¡¯t bother about the data, just follow the visitor¡¯s volume from highest to lowest. Hack as much as possible. Let everyone see the live stream!¡±

    ¡°Beep, beep... I understand handsome Doll. I¡¯ll do as ordered.¡±

    Doll said softly, ¡°Yes, don¡¯t let Zhao Yao know that the live streams were on those websites...¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s impatient voice was heard in Doll¡¯s ears. ¡°Hey, I asked you. How many people are watching?¡±

    Doll replied immediately, ¡°One billion... slightly more than a billion. The reception¡¯s good and they say you¡¯re handsome.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Zhao Yao sounded happy. ¡°I tried to hide but it seems my charms are irresistible. This is irritating.¡±

    Maria asked curiously, ¡°Who are you? The Headless Horseman? Zhao Yao? Or another person? Why are you in control of the power of awareness? Why is the supercat behind you in control of power of awareness?¡±

    Giggle said in a tempting tone, ¡°If you tell me, I¡¯ll let you live. You can feel the difference between our power and the difference between your cat and my power.¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed sinisterly and said, ¡°Silly cat, why don¡¯t you be my pet? Let me sterilize you before cutting your fur. You shall be a good pet.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re tired of living! Giggle was enraged because he had been ostracized for having little and short fur. After he was admitted into the Short Fur tribe, he became better. He hated when people mentioned cutting fur.

    With Giggle¡¯s rage, his distortion of awareness came into full swing. The power of awareness swept over Zhao Yao like a tsunami. The surrounding apostles covered their ears and screamed as they could not protect themselves against Giggle¡¯s attack.

    Zhao Yao felt a headache as though a huge drill was drilling into his mind.

    Zhao Yao pressed on the invisible Roly Poly who was sitting on his shoulders and activated Time Freeze. The entire world came to a stand still.

    ¡°Giggle¡¯s strong.¡± Zhao Yao stood in the frozen world and thought, ¡°I have switched to Time Freeze. The Cat Prince Costume had Diana¡¯s Level 16 superpower but it was ineffective. Without Time Freeze, I¡¯ll be controlled within one to two seconds.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the enraged Maria and shed as he shot out like lightning.

    Level 10 Matcha had 18 seconds of Time Freeze. Under the effect of Boiling Point, Zhao Yao was able to move at 10 times the normal speed so he had 180 seconds of Time Freeze.

    With his superior constitution, he ran tens of kilometers away from the battlefield during the Time Freeze.

    ...

    In the Extradimensional Belly, Match felt time freezing and resuming and the superpower entering the cooling down period. He looked at Lucifer who was standing by the side.

    ¡°Wa-da!¡±

    Pom! He punched Lucifer on the face and started beating Lucifer¡¯s head. Lucifery on the ground convulsing while blood dripped from his head.

    ¡°Wa-da, wa-da, wa-da!¡±

    Matcha folded his arms and said, ¡°I¡¯m telling you, we the Scottish Folds are not sick cats.¡±

    ...

    In the material realm, Zhao Yao felt a sharp pain in his head immediately after he exited from Time Freeze.

    Giggle¡¯s sneering filled his mind. ¡°Teleportation? Is it useful? This limited dimension cannot bepared to the unlimited awareness. You can¡¯t escape.¡±

    Zhao Yao was shocked and realized that Giggle had abandoned Maria¡¯s body. Instead, he possessed Zhao Yao¡¯s body in a bid to control him.

    Zhao Yao was prepared for this. Giggle only managed 0.1 seconds of control before Zhao Yao stabbed his heart with Rice Cake¡¯s Vibrating Sword.

    ¡°What?¡± Giggle was astonished and he exited the dying Zhao Yao and shed his awareness to a nearby human.

    Zhao Yao activated Time Distortion. After revival, he entered Time Freeze and bolted off like lightning.

    When time resumed, he had already covered a distance of tens of kilometers. He did not feel any headache this time.

    ¡°Death¡¯s able to break Giggle¡¯s control.¡± Zhao Yao pondered over his experience. Giggle was not able to pursue him over a distance of ten kilometers like the first time. This proved that Giggle was unable to cover ten kilometers to pursue his target.

    When Zhao Yao confronted Giggle the second time, Doll had prepared sma bombs at the location. The bombs were ignited and high temperature sma turned a radius of five meters into an inferno. The earth melted and became magma.

    ¡°The first possession was during our meeting. When we first met, fought and I had my headache, he had entered my body. He was brought along with me for ten kilometers during Time Freeze. Then I used Revival to get rid of him.¡±

    Zhao Yao had a deeper understanding of Giggle¡¯s superpower. ¡°First, the distortion of awareness is used to control opponents. Second, it can be used to possess the opponent¡¯s body. Third, he is unable to remain in the body if the host is dead.¡±

    ¡°As for long distance, first, he¡¯s able to possess body over a long distance like Maria¡¯s case. Second, he¡¯s unable to pursue me for ten kilometers. This proves that there¡¯s a limitation for long distance possession.¡±

    As he was analyzing Giggle¡¯s superpower, Roly Poly, who was on Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulders, activated invisibility and hid both of them. They ran outside the city like invisible spirits.

    ¡°I¡¯m able to use Time Freeze to probe Giggle¡¯s weakness and reserve other tactics for use.¡±

    Zhao Yao did not enter the Extradimensional Belly immediately because he had to ensure that Giggle did not leave any tracking device on him. If the Extradimensional Belly, which was his base, was discovered by Giggle, he would lose.

    After Zhao Yao left, tens of apostles descended from the sky. Maria, who was controlled by Giggle, surveyed the area which was totally destroyed by the sma bombs. She frowned.

    ¡°Do we have the nearby satellite images? What happened here?¡±

    Giggle thought, ¡°Suicide bombing after killing himself? Humph, thinking you can kill me if you kill yourself? Naive.¡±

    An apostle said, ¡°Lord Giggle, our fighting process was live streamed to a billion people.¡±

    Giggle frowned and said nonchntly, ¡°Don¡¯t be bothered. Investigate the Headless Horseman. I want to find the cat lending him his superpower.¡±

    In the training base of the British Protoss unit, Durant looked regretfully at the live stream.

    Doll¡¯s instation of the video cameras recorded the entire fighting process, including Zhao Yao¡¯s second teleportation, his self stabbing and the explosion of the sma bombs.

    ¡°Suicide? This is thest resistance after being controlled,¡± Durant thought. ¡°Our apostles were immediately controlled by Giggle but he was able to resist for a while and teleport to a trap for suicide.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s of no use. Giggle¡¯s able to possess another body but the Headless Horseman¡¯s dead.¡±

    Durant sighed and left his office in silence.

    All the apostles of the world supernatural organizations were disappointed after watching the live stream.

    When they saw Headless Horseman subduing Maria without being controlled, they were hopeful.

    But the hopes were dashed when Giggle forced him to explode in a suicide bomb within seconds. Everyone was depressed and the Giggle became more invincible in their minds.

    Some wanted to find the Headless Horseman¡¯s cat and find the secret to defeat Maria.

    When apostles located Cat Wondend and Cat Ind, they would be empty.

    The inte became abuzz with activity after the live stream.

    After the Awakening of the supercats, this was the first time the superpower of an apostle was exposed to the public. All the inte channels were rife with rumors.

    ...

    Three hourster, the cooling down period of Matcha¡¯s Time Distortion expired.

    Websites withrge visitor volumes were hacked and countless people received Zhao Yao¡¯s live stream.

    ¡°What the heck! He¡¯s back!¡±

    ¡°We are being hacked as though our website¡¯s a public toilet!!¡±

    ¡°Is it an apostles¡¯ war this time?¡±

    In Ennd, Durant heard the news in his office. He opened the live stream in surprise and saw a ck-d Headless Horseman standing on the roof of a huge office building.

    ¡°This... another one? Another apostle in disguise of the Headless Horseman?¡±

    Durant frowned. ¡°What¡¯s he thinking of doing?¡±

    Zhao Yao gazed at the faraway office building and said to Doll via his earphones, ¡°At that location?¡±

    In the office, Maria was resting on a bed. A nano fly flew out from her hair. When Zhao Yao pressed down on her head, he ced a fly in Maria¡¯s hair.

    Doll said, ¡°The entire building¡¯s filled with their apostles. The two alien cats seem to be on the top floor.¡±

    ¡°Hmm, let me...¡± Zhao Yao bolted and smashed into the building with a loud bang. ¡°Verify personally...¡±

    As the ss panes on the top floor shattered, Zhao Yao¡¯s feet stomped on the ground.

    The floor cracked andrge fissures snaked out in all directions.

    Tom, who was in the middle of the room, was ying Closers World with the game visor.

    Giggle, who was using theputer, looked in Zhao Yao¡¯s direction.

    ¡°It¡¯s him!¡±

    Giggle activated his superpower immediately and saw Zhao Yao stab his chest as he tossed Doll¡¯s sma bomb.

    Zhao Yao stared at the alien cats¡¯ heads before he revived.

    ¡°Level 19 and Level 18? The two alien cats are confirmed...¡±

    In the loud explosion, huge tongues of me licked the sky and vaporized Giggle and Tom.

    The apostles in the floors below were in a daze. Giggle lifted his head with hatred. ¡°Headless Horseman... attempting suicide bombing?¡±

    Though Giggle was not able to see Zhao Yao¡¯s face he recognized his awareness. They were the same person as they both attempted suicide bombings.

    Zhao Yao appeared at a location 10 kilometers away after exiting Time Freeze. He smiled. ¡°Two alien cats... The Level 16 Diana could resist their control for a short while. That¡¯s enough time for me to use Time Freeze... They¡¯re unable to negate Time Freeze... I¡¯m using n C next...¡±

    All the apostles in the world watched the live stream in shock. The forces representing the Headless Horseman did not give up. After a suicide bomb, another apostle came to take his ce.

    Three hourster, outside the Closers World server room, Zhao Yao bolted in like lightning and vanished in a towering inferno.

    Four hourster, outside the Closers World backup server room, Giggle, Tom, and five hundred apostles guarded the ce. They looked in anger as Closers World rebooted.

    Tom was bewildered. ¡°Is the Headless Horseman able to be revive?¡±

    ¡°Killing him¡¯s useless.¡± Giggle frowned and said, ¡°I have to control him. If he appears again, we¡¯ll cooperate and control him together.¡±

    Five minutester, the live stream camera showed a fire zing at the backup server room. Theputers were destroyed and Closers World was inessible.

    All the gamers remembered this ck-robed, headless man who liked to bomb Closers World¡¯s servers.

    Three hourster, the news was only about ck robes, the headless man, fire, and explosions.

    Seeing his burnt server room, Giggle felt he was about to explode. What kind of rogue fighting was that? How did one use the revival superpower in such an unscrupulous and disgusting way?

    Giggle changed his server room¡¯s location without involving many people. It was done in secret and only a few of his confidantes knew about it.

    Three hourster, an explosion urred.

    Giggle shifted his server room discreetly to a US military ocean base. There was no one in the base, only Giggle and Tom were guarding it.

    Three hourster, the ocean base exploded and sank to the bottom of the sea.

    No matter how many times Giggle shifted and hid Closers World¡¯s servers, Zhao Yao would always locate them and suicide bomb them.

    Seeing his servers burning in an inferno, Giggle opened his cell phone glumly and asked, ¡°What information do we have about him?¡±

    Maria replied, ¡°ording to our intelligence in China, the real identity of the Headless Horseman is Zhao Yao. When I looked for himst time...¡± Maria hesitated before continuing, ¡°I didn¡¯t kill him. I was tricked by his superpower.¡±

    Giggle asked gravely, ¡°Where is he?¡±

    ¡°I sent people to search in Jianghai for his house and territory but in vain.¡±

    Giggle squinted his eyes and said, ¡°Continue searching for him, his kin, his friends and everyone rted to him. I want to capture them.¡±

    ...

    Pom!

    Xiao Yu¡¯s house door was pried open, a group of warriors armed with guns charged in and started searching.

    The house was empty. Even the furniture had been removed. Not a strand of hair was left behind.

    ...

    Zhao Yao listen to Doll¡¯s news via his ear microphones. ¡°Zhao Yao, they¡¯ve started searching in Jianghai. Fortunately, you¡¯ve removed all your family and friends, otherwise they¡¯d be in trouble.¡±

    ¡°They figured out my identity. Without seeing my face, did they recognize it was me via their awareness?¡±

    ¡°They¡¯re unable to possess my body over long distances. This proves that the limitations might be more than identity...¡± Zhao Yao nodded and continued asking, ¡°Where are they putting their servers?¡±

    Doll asked the cat artificial intelligence next to him. The cat artificial intelligence ryed the information coted from the inte to Doll.

    Though Closers World was located in the Awareness Dimension, it required inte for connectivity. Doll was able to bypass various security to locate the servers¡¯ location.

    Three hourster, when the cooling down period of the Time Distortion expired, Zhao Yao appeared in the live stream.

    This time, Zhao Yao revealed his face and wore a ck robe in the live stream. It attracted massive attention from around the world.

    Supernatural organizations were rmed. They used facial recognition to identify him¡ªa person who was already dead.

    ¡°Is he Zhao Yao?¡±

    ¡°We suspected he was the Headless Horseman. It¡¯s actually him.¡±

    Most people were not sure the series of headless suicide bombers were Zhao Yao in disguise.

    Three hourster when Zhao Yao appeared and did a suicide bombing, everyone was astonished.

    ¡°He can¡¯t be killed?¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s the one who carried out the suicide bombing from the start?¡±

    ¡°He has the revival superpower?¡±

    The supernatural organizations around the world were excited. With this superpower, even if he could not kill Giggle, he would be able to face off with Giggle.

    Everyone was yearning for the power of Revival and the secret to avoid control by Giggle.

    ¡°Contact him quickly!¡±

    ¡°Tell him, the British support him unconditionally!¡±

    ¡°Think of a way to contact him. As long as he agrees to join the French Kensei unit, we¡¯ll give him the best remuneration.¡±

    With Zhao Yao¡¯s fame, all major websites and social media tforms were filled with his photographs and information. Zhao Yao became an international celebrity.

    Themoners who did not know the truth hated him as he did suicide bombings to disrupt Apple¡¯s inte gaming servers.

    The gamers from Closers World hated him the most. Zhao Yao¡¯s photographs were made into various emoticons and used in the Closers World.

    Zhao Yao was optimistic. He was nonchnt whether people liked him or not. As long as they were paying attention to him, especially Closers World gamers, Zhao Yao would be d.

    Giggle was unable to endure Zhao Yao¡¯s continuous suicide bombings. He started a video channel at a few famous websites.

    In the video channel, an orange cat (Giggle¡¯s newly possessed body) squatted in front of the camera, lifted up his paw and started meowing.

    Below the cat¡¯s head, the tranted words were shown.

    ¡°Foolish humans, I¡¯m enraged by you.¡±

    Comments appeared rapidly below the video.

    ¡°This cat¡¯s adorable!¡±

    ¡°Show us your paw meat padding!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll give you ten points if you cuddle, zero if you don¡¯t.¡±

    Giggle meowed as the words were typed out, ¡°Zhao Yao, I¡¯m giving you 12 hours to appear before me, otherwise...¡±

    Giggle flicked out his ws and signaled he was going to kill Zhao Yao. The camera shifted and revealed thousands of celebrities tied to golden-backed chairs behind Giggle. Their eyes were nk and calm. They had been controlled by Giggle and their awareness distorted.

    Giggle continued speaking, ¡°They are your past ssmates, colleagues, teachers, superiors, neighbours. If you don¡¯t appear in front of me within 12 hours, I¡¯ll kill one of them hourly until you appear.¡±

    Giggle sneered. ¡°Zhao Yao... if he dared to appear in front of me for more than a second, I¡¯ll control him. Then...¡±

    Tom asked, ¡°What if he doesn¡¯t appear?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll castrate the city,¡± Giggle said coldly. ¡°If he doesn¡¯t appear after I¡¯ve killed all the people, I¡¯ll use castration to threaten him. If he doesn¡¯t want humans to be extinct, he¡¯ll ede to my threat.¡±

    The enraged Giggle said mercilessly, ¡°We are the stronger party. He thought he could depend on his fancy superpowers but for how long? No, he has... he has enraged me this time.¡±

    Meanwhile, all the viewers who were watching the video were anxious when they saw Zhao Yao being threatened. All of them had different reactions.

    Apostles from all around the world were afraid. They started to leavements for Zhao Yao to stay calm and not be rash.

    After all with the capabilities that Zhao Yao had disyed, he was the only one that could fight against Giggle. If Zhao Yao was rash and got controlled, the only hope they had would be lost.

    There were also forces who wanted to persuade Zhao Yao to join hands with them. They hoped that Zhao Yao could share his powers with them.

    Uncle Ho was reminding Zhao Yao constantly to stay calm and not be rash.

    Then, Zhao Yao no longer attacked Closers World¡¯s server. Everyone thought that Zhao Yao was in an internal torment and they were all waiting for Zhao Yao¡¯s choice.

    On Earth, while countless people were watching Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao found a ce and logged onto Closers World quietly.

    The moment he entered Closers World, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up. He looked at the Book in excitement.

    On the Book, Diana¡¯s progress bar was increasing at an incredible rate.

    Zhao Yao spent a day and night on live stream. He did it not just to attack Giggle, harass him, anger or to collect information on his powers.

    He did it to gain more attention, it was to gain the attention of the yers in Closers World.

    What would be a better way to gain attention than to live stream the burning of Closers World¡¯s server.

    Zhao Yaopleted all the goals of owning the Cat Prince Costume, level Matcha up to Lv10 and Diana to Lv16.

    In the short period of one day and one night, he managed to garner the hundred millions of views from around the world,

    In them, tens of millions are yers from Closers World.

    Hence, when he logged into the Closers World again, the progress bar on the Book grew insanely. In three hours, Diana leveled up to Lv17.

    In another few hours, she reached Lv18.

    In the 12 hours limit given by Giggle, Diana managed to reach Lv19.

    Only then did the growth of the progress bar slow down. Zhao Yao knew that it would take another one or two days for her to hit Lv20.

    However, the speed that she grew at had already made Zhao Yao very excited. After Diana transformed, her physical immunity factor increased to 85% and her power-up factor increased to 190%.

    ¡°Now, we can fight face to face.¡±

    ...

    Meanwhile, as the time grew nearer, countless people were worried about the situation of Zhao Yao and Giggle.

    To gain attention, Zhao Yao live streamed it again.

    In the live stream, Zhao Yao appeared in a ck cloak and was standing on top of a base in the desert. He shed and broke through countless defense. Then, he knocked down the roof andnded in the base.

    Giggle looked at Zhao Yao and smiled. ¡°You are finally here.¡±

    Upon seeing Zhao Yao appear in front of Giggle, Durant, from Protoss, was in dismay.

    ¡°Too rash.¡±

    Uncle Ho looked the live stream and was angered. ¡°Too rash. Zhao Yao is too rash. At this rate he will die together with the hostages.¡±

    Countless people sighed that Zhao Yao could not wait and lost to Giggle.

    Giggle¡¯s conscious rushed into Zhao Yao¡¯s body and was attacking Zhao Yao¡¯s awareness.

    Then, he lifted up his paws and signal for Zhao Yao toe over. Zhao Yao was in a daze and he walked towards Giggle.

    The apostles who were watching felt immense sorrow. Inevitably humans lost to a cat? Many people could not bear to watch it anymore.

    They had seen too many apostles being controlled and Zhao Yao had attacked Giggle so many times. His end would be unthinkable.

    Then, Durant from Protoss, the ck officer from Kensei, Uncle Ho and all the apostles watched the live stream in shock.

    When Zhao Yao walked in front of Giggle, reached out his palm and grabbed Giggle¡¯s neck. Heughed, ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    Giggle and Tom looked at Zhao Yao in shock. They activated their powers, wanting to distort Zhao Yao¡¯s awareness.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s hand moved and then the two cats were knocked unconscious.

    However their awareness was quickly moved onto another apostle and watched Zhao Yao with their eyes wide open.

    Giggle: ¡°You! Your awareness got stronger?¡±

    He used his full strength to try and control Zhao Yao. It was to not give Zhao Yao any chance to escape. But, he did not seed and the only possibility was that his awareness had be stronger to the extent where it was as strong as his. Only then was it possible to create such a strong resistant.

    Zhao Yao smiled and looked very arrogant, however, on the inside, he still remained calm.

    ¡°Now that Diana is Lv19, I am not so easily affected. Now, I have to catch these two cats...¡±

    In front of theputer screens, countless apostles were overjoyed. Zhao Yao managed to control them. He went prepared.

    Meanwhile, after Giggle and Tom¡¯s powers failed, they were infuriated.

    ¡°Kill! Kill him!¡±

    As Giggle ordered, all the apostles in the base started moving and rushed towards Zhao Yao.

    At the same, the two cats were casting his powers and attacked Zhao Yao¡¯s awareness.

    Even if he had very strong resistance but it didn¡¯t mean that he had a strong defense. There was not much difference in their awareness.

    Giggle and Tom believe that if they attacked multiple times and attacked long enough, they would seed.

    Then, Zhao Yao started floating and emitted a strange smell. Soon, his body started to turn transparent.

    He started to showcase his powers as Nightmare Lord and entered 85% of physical immunity factor and increased the superpower¡¯s effect to 190%.

    Giggle and Tom felt their awareness crash upon Zhao Yao¡¯s body like a steel board. Their awareness shattered and dissipated into the air.

    Giggle was infuriated. ¡°He... He still can be stronger?¡±

    Meanwhile, Giggle and Tom controlled the hundreds of apostles and attacked Zhao Yao.

    Upon seeing this, all the audience became anxious.

    Hundreds of different powers were released at the same time The mes, lightning, explosion, psychokinesis, curse and toxins were intertwined. There were even apostles who pulled the trigger and shot rocket missiles at Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao was engulfed in the attacks immediately. The dozens of walls behind him copsed in a second and the destruction continued to spread further. It scorched the few hundred meters of space behind Zhao Yao. More than half the base was destroyed immediately.

    Then, Zhao Yao walked out from the dust and there was hardly any injury shown on Zhao Yao.

    In fact all the mes, lightning, toxins, curses and other powers were unable to ovee the Lv19 resistance. All the attacks were ignored.

    At the same time, all sorts of knives, batons, explosives, bullets, rocket missile,ser and others were ineffective because of Zhao Yao¡¯s 85% physical immunity factor then thest 15% were healed by Zhao Yao¡¯s Ultra Rapid Regeneration.

    Looking at Zhao Yao , who was not harmed at all, Giggle and Tom were shocked and angry. They suddenly realized that for the amount of awareness dimension¡¯s energy Zhao Yao had, most supercats¡¯ powers were useless against him. Furthermore, he could revive.

    Someone that can withstand their powers, most of the attacks were in effective against him and he could revive...

    Thinking of this, fear crept onto Giggle and Tom¡¯s faces.

    What monster did they meet with on this primitive?

    The next moment, they were let out a menacing look.

    The screen turned ck, one minuteter, after many adjustments from Doll, they were looking at the base from a thousand meters above it.

    A huge fireball engulfed the entire desert base and the high heat, radiation and shock wave distorted, crushed and crumbled everything.

    All the audience watched this familiar yet foreign scene happen in front of their eyes. They covered their mouths in shock and their minds went nk.

    It was a human¡¯s ultimate weapon, the nuclear bomb. It engulfed all forms of life in the base.

    Giggle and Tom escaped the bodies of their hosts in this explosion and jumped into the awareness dimension in an attempt to escape.

    Then, as the lens continued to focus. The audiences were shocked once again.

    A human figure slowly stood up from the debris. The raging temperature and zing radiation could not harm his body at all. Human¡¯s ultimate weapon did not even manage to tear apart a part of his clothes.

    This scene was deeply etched into countless audiences minds, Zhao Yao looked at the sky and seemed to be looking at some faraway dimension in the air.

    ¡°Trying to escape?¡±

    He disappeared and entered the awareness dimension like it was a dream.

    When Zhao Yao went off to chase Giggle and Tom.

    On Earth, billions of viewers were in awe after witnessing what they had just seen.

    Especially for those Natural Disaster apostles, they were even more aware of how strong the powers that Zhao Yao had disyed were.

    The ck officer found Durant and asked tentatively, ¡°Durant, what do you think?¡±

    ¡°What do I think? What can I think?¡± Durant sighed. ¡°He has an incredibly strong body and a strong resistance to powers. I can¡¯t even think of what on Earth would be able to kill him.¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡± The ck officer sighed. ¡°He could take down hundreds of apostles¡¯ attacks, ignore the high temperature, radiation and shock waves from the nuclear bomb... I wonder if he is still human.¡±

    The capabilities that Zhao Yao disyed were iprehensible for the apostles on Earth. It was beyond their understanding of powers and shattered their previous values.

    He wasn¡¯t going to die. He was there to trample others. Why was there such a huge difference between them and him?

    The world was in shock at how scary Zhao Yao was. The video of Zhao Yao walking out of the nuclear explosion went viral online.

    In the Awareness Dimension, there weren¡¯t any directions. Everything in the dimension was undefinable. Things were constantly changing in this peculiar dimension.

    To move around in the Awareness Dimension, one needed to use awareness dimension energy to perceive the material world as a guide. Or else every move would be in a different direction and distance, one would never reach their destination.

    Giggle and Tom were shing around and their conscious weremunicating. They were discussing about the situation that just happened.

    ¡°Who is that guy? Why do I feel like me hitting my dad when I hit him.¡± Tom was unsettled. ¡°He can¡¯t be moved.¡±

    ¡°That guy has a strange power.¡± Giggle was solemn. ¡°He can improve in such a short period of time, there must be something wrong. Now that he has been bombed, he should take three hours to revive like before. Let¡¯s think of a solution in this time...¡±

    Tom said, ¡°Can that thing really kill him?¡±

    ¡°That bomb is very powerful. It contains the energy of a star. It should be able to kill him.¡± Giggle said, ¡°Now, we need to think of how to defeat him. First, we have to understand why did he be so strong suddenly.¡±

    Tom said, ¡°There is no such thing as a perfect power in this world. If he can suddenly be so strong, there must be a w somewhere.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. We just have to find that w and we can...¡±

    Then, both cats felt a strong awareness colliding into them. It knocked both of them together and caused them psychological pain.

    Zhao Yao shouted, ¡°Run! Why not escape again. No one will be able to save you today.¡±

    Tom and Giggle shivered.

    ¡°What do we do?¡±

    ¡°Fight him!¡±

    Being the Awareness Dimension was different from being in Closers World. Almost all their powers lost their effects and they could only fight with their awareness.

    Tom and Giggle used all their might and their awareness seemed to emit a glow. They sped towards Zhao Yao like twoets.

    There was a huge collision between the three of them and when Giggle and Tom saw that Zhao Yao¡¯s awareness turned darker, they were overjoyed.

    ¡°There is a chance!¡±

    ¡°His pure awareness is not as strong as the both of us together!¡±

    Before this, in the material world, Zhao Yao had cast Diana¡¯s powers after her transformation. That was why he could obtain 85% physical immunity factor and 190% superpower¡¯s effect.

    However in the awareness dimension, the transformation was useless and Zhao Yao could only rely on Diana¡¯s Lv19 awareness dimension energy to battle.

    However, from this, Giggle and Tom saw a glimpse of victory.

    With frenzy awareness and a strong faith in victory, they used up all their powers to attack Zhao Yao.

    The two cats surrounded Zhao Yao and collided into him countless times. As the battle of awareness continued, all three of their awarenesses were weakening.

    The tremendous pain was channeled into Zhao Yao¡¯s conscious through the collisions. It felt like there was a knife sawing through his brain.

    Zhao Yao clenched his teeth and continue to withstand the attack from the two cats.

    ¡°Hang in there, a while more...¡±

    Zhao Yao could feel that Giggle and Tom was getting weaker from the attacks too.

    The battle got more aggressive and the three of their awarenesses were entangled together, pulling and colliding. If they weren¡¯t careful they would dissipate into the air.

    ¡°He is about to fall apart!¡± Giggleughed. ¡°Kill him!¡±

    When Giggle and Tom were trying their best and wanted to give Zhao Yao ast blow to shatter his awareness.

    A strong and violent wave emitted from Zhao Yao.

    That moment, except for using the Nightmare Lord power from the Cat Prince Costume, he also activated the Nightmare Lord power on the Book.

    He returned to his peak or even stronger instantly.

    Meanwhile, Giggle and Tom were on the brink of breakdown.

    ¡°How does he be stronger again and again?¡± Giggle was mad. ¡°Is this guy a Saiyan?!¡±

    Giggle could not take it anymore, he felt like he was an ordinary yer that was leveling up and then he met with a yer that hacked his own ount. Not only did the yer have a hacked ount, the yer also had a really terrible personality that made his game experience terrible.

    Giggle was frustrated and yelled, ¡°If you can, why not be even stronger!!¡±

    Then, Diana¡¯s awareness descended from the sky and the awareness dimension energy that was emitted frightened the two cats.

    ¡°What!¡±

    Giggle and Tom was shocked. They could not be bothered to retaliate and escaped.

    Zhao Yao and Diana were in close pursuit. Zhao Yao and the three cats were colliding, fighting and wandering around the awareness dimension.

    Tom was the first to surrender, if he continued to fight, his awareness would be torn apart.

    He jumped out from the awareness dimension and hid on a cat in the material world.

    Zhao Yao followed him out and used Diana¡¯s powers to reconstruct his awareness dimension into a physical body. He picked up Tom and swung him. ¡°Not running anymore?¡±

    ¡°No, not running anymore,¡± Tom said, ¡°I think there is a huge misunderstanding between us. It was Giggle who was behind all of this. I am just a little cat that was used by other cats.¡±

    Tom exined. ¡°Actually, I am half an earth cat, I love humans! I love earth cats... ahh!!¡±

    Zhao Yao swung Tom, who was pinched by him. Zhao Yao said coldly, ¡°Remove your control on everyone.¡±

    When Zhao Yao got hold of Tom, Diana signaled, ¡°That guy escaped into Closers World.¡±

    ¡°Closers World?¡±

    Zhao Yao fed Diana a Spicy Cat Strip and then he forced Tom to sleep. He deactivated the Spicy Cat Strip and handed Tom over to Diana, while he entered Closers World.

    Looking at Closers World, Zhao Yao started thinking, ¡°This is so troublesome. This ce was created by the alien cat. If he really hid here, it would be hard for me to find him.¡±

    Zhao Yao had to catch Giggle. One reason was because Giggle was still in control of Closers World and Zhao Yao wanted the game.

    Furthermore, after learning more about the alien cats situation from Arria and Asser, Zhao Yao did not want Giggle to return home to get back up.

    Not long after Zhao Yao entered Closers World, he felt an immense pressurend on him.

    ¡°How dare you pursue me here!¡±

    Giggle¡¯s roar rang from the sky. The next moment, Zhao Yao felt his awareness being squashed. It was like the world had be a grinder that was tearing his awareness apart.

    ¡°He is using Closers World¡¯s energy to attack me?¡± Zhao Yao was taken aback and then he jumped out of Closers World and returned to the awareness dimension.

    In front of him was a bright spot that represented Closers World in the dreamscape. It was a lightning ball that was appearing in random positions.

    Zhao Yao shouted at it, ¡°Why note out and fight with me! What good does it do to hide inside?¡±

    Giggle replied, ¡°Why note in and fight me! What good does it do to hide outside?!¡±

    Zhao Yao flew into Closers World and then flew out again. Everytime he went in, many yers would go offline. The number of yers online in Closers World decreased drastically.

    Giggle raged. ¡°You are not allowed toe in anymore! If youe in again, I will kill you.¡±

    ¡°So what if I enter?¡± Zhao Yaoughed coldly. ¡°Are you going to hit me? When I kick everyone offline, I will see how you fight me.¡±

    Bam! Giggle¡¯s awareness expanded out and sped towards Zhao Yao. However, Zhao Yao smashed it.

    ¡°Oh My God!¡±

    When he was about to be caught, he abandoned a huge part of his awareness and hid inside Closers World.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Do you really think that I can¡¯t fight?¡± Then, he used his awareness to surround the bright spot and kept tapping it. ¡°Come out! Hurrye out or I will cut the electricity!¡±

    No matter what Zhao Yao said, Giggle refused to reply. He seemed determined to hide inside Closers World.

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes and he understood. It was as he thought. Closers World absorbed yers energy and Giggle could use that energy.

    However, it was different from Zhao Yao leveling up Diana. Instead of using Closers World to add to his own powers, he was better at using Closers World as a fortress.

    As long as he stayed in Closers World, his powers would be strengthened.

    Looking at Closers World, Zhao Yao snorted coldly and then he brought Diana over.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Diana, keep watch for me. As long as he steps out of there, beat him up.¡±

    Diana nodded. ¡°What if he continues to stay in there?¡±

    ¡°I will make sure hees out.¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed coldly and went to look at Tom, who was locked in dreamscape by Diana. After checking that there were no issues, he jumped out of dreamscape and returned to the material world.

    He opened the dimension portal and looked inside. There were thousands of hostages and apostles lying in the Extradimensional Belly, some of which were already burnt.

    Zhao Yao stuffed them in during Time Freeze when he noticed the nuclear explosion.

    However, although he tried to be fast, many people still died.

    Matcha was very anxious. ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! What do we do! Many of them are dead!¡±

    Zhao Yao was proud. ¡°If I want someone to live, no one can kill them.¡±

    Zhao Yao entered the Extradimensional Belly and then walked into another Dimension Portal. It brought him to the depths of the Kunlun Mountains.

    In thend of ice and snow, there was a door a dozen meters tall standing there. There was ck smoke spiraling out of the door, like it was the door to hell.

    The door was Arria¡¯s Door of Evesting Life. It could exchange a life for a life to revive them.

    To deal with the alien cats, Zhao Yao evacuated Cat Wondend and Cat Ind. He moved the Door of Evesting Life into the depths of the Kunlun mountains, where there were hardly any traces of human activities.

    On top of the door of evesting life sat Sphynx cat. He closed both his eyes and his body was vibrating vigorously. It seemed he was undergoing some form of training.

    The moment Zhao Yao arrived Sphynx cat opened his eyes and asked Zhao Yao, ¡°Did you win?¡±

    ¡°There is still one more left. Let¡¯s revive the humans first, then I will go and catch him.¡± As he spoke he brought the bodies out of the Extradimensional Belly and threw them into the door.

    In a cottage beside the Door of Evesting Life, Arria and Asser were cuddling and shivering together by the window.

    When they saw Zhao Yao, Arria was shocked. ¡°Oh no, it¡¯s over. He won? I was expecting them to beat him and then they would be able to rescue us. Now, we would have to work for Zhao Yao forever.¡±

    Asser said, ¡°Didn¡¯t Zhao Yao say that we will be free after we returned the money?¡±

    ¡°Naive,¡± Sang Biao answered when he came out from the toilet. ¡°Zhao Yao said that when he was stroking you right?¡±

    Looking at the cat that was in charge of cleaning the toilet, Asser nodded. ¡°Yeah, what¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Sang Biao answered in an experienced tone. ¡°Don¡¯t believe a word Zhao Yao says when he is stroking you.¡± Then, he walked passed the two cats and went back into the Extradimensional Belly to clean up.

    However, when he walked past the two cats, he repeated. ¡°Don¡¯t believe Zhao Yao.¡±

    Meanwhile, as the bodies were thrown into the Door of Evesting Life, the people who were supposed to be dead, walked out of the Door of Evesting Life looking confused.

    Zhao Yao did not n to tell them that they were revived. Afterall, he did not want to expose this power or he could get into trouble.

    He activated Illusion and put them to sleep, before returning them to Extradimensional Belly.

    After reviving the dead, Zhao Yao returned to Jianghai and threw all the people that he rescued from the nuclear explosion onto an empty space on top of a building. He was not interested in handling the details of the hand over.

    The people in the building was shocked by the people appearing out of thin air and appearing in front of the building. Immediately, many people rushed up to help the unconscious casualties.

    In the office, Uncle Ho was on the phone.

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    ¡°I understand.¡±

    ¡°I will tell him when he contacts me.¡±

    ¡°What he likes...¡± Uncle Ho thought about it and said, ¡°Money and cats!¡±

    ¡°Women? No, no, women are useless. I have tried. He is not a guy who falls for that...¡±

    Uncle Ho put down the phone and sighed. Although Zhao Yao caught Tom, he did not manage to catch Giggle. Zhao Yao made Tom release all the people he controlled and now the high ranking officials from all over the world were starting to regain consciousness. Hence, Uncle Ho was contacted.

    ¡°Looks like you are about to be promoted?¡±

    Upon hearing this familiar voice, Uncle Ho turned around in surprise. ¡°Zhao Yao? You seeded? Don¡¯t worry. It was a great aplishment. Our country will not mistreat you...¡±

    Zhao Yao was nodding happily as Uncle Ho rattled on. He could already imagine himself cooperating with powers from all around the world, Dust Ball Catmint spreading all around the world and Cat Wondend expanding. By then, he would be able to draw in the lucky draw till he was sick of it and had uncountable experience points.

    ¡°And Closers World. After I catch Giggle, I will be in charge of it. If everyone on earth ys this game, then my evolution speed will be...¡±

    Thinking of this, Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t help butugh.

    ¡°Zhao Yao?¡± Uncle Ho looked at Zhao Yao in bewilderment. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡±

    ¡°Erm... nothing.¡± Zhao Yao wanted to settled Giggle first. Then, he looked at Uncle Ho and said, ¡°Can you contact Apple and the United States government for me. I want to discuss something with them.¡±

    Two hourster, in Apple headquarters, a bunch of high ranking government officials stood at the door of the building. They kept looking at their watches and seemed to be waiting for something.

    A few minutester, something sted across the air and Zhao Yaonded slowly in front of them.

    Thepany official walked up and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, we have prepared lunch. Do you want to eat and discuss...¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, did you disconnect all the yer¡¯s servers? You must ensure that there are no yers in it.¡±

    Zhao Yao was led into the office and everyone there was nervous but in awe.

    Although they did not really understand the strength of the powers, the difference between the apostles, and the presence of awareness, that this man could walk out from a nuclear explosion unscathed was something they could understand.

    In their eyes, Zhao Yao was Thanos or Godzi in human form.

    In the next half an hour, the server of Closers World waspletely under Zhao Yao¡¯s control.

    ¡°Hehe.¡± Zhao Yao looked at them and said, ¡°Look after it. Let the server continue to run, but don¡¯t allow any ounts toe online.¡±

    ¡°Ahh...¡± The engineer said, ¡°But, the yers will riot.¡±

    Zhao Yao was not concerned about this. ¡°What riot? We can just give each of them some equipment.¡±

    The engineer answered, ¡°There is no way. We can¡¯t interfere with data in this game. We cannot give them anything.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Zhao Yao frowned and remembered the nature of Closers World. It just appeared to be an online game but was actually a dreamscape. After absorbing countless people¡¯s energy, the dreamscape could no longer be easily altered.

    ¡°If this is the case,¡± Zhao Yao smiled and said, ¡°Then, tell the yers that I want to repair the server.¡± He patted his chest and said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to be stressed. I will take the me.¡±

    Then, he thought of it and remembered that this was a good chance to obtain attention.

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Oh ya, how many yers are there in Closers World?¡±

    ¡°About ten million users everyday.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°I am going to take the me for sure.¡±

    The engineer said, ¡°I will ask them to send out the notice...¡±

    ¡°There is no need for a notice. They will think that we are finding an excuse,¡± Zhao Yao said. ¡°Let me do it.¡±

    Then, not long after Zhao Yao live streamed himself walking out of a nuclear explosion, he hit the headlines once again.

    ¡°To all the yers in Closers World, I have something to announce...¡± Zhao Yao was silent for a while and said, ¡°I am your father.¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled satisfyingly when he saw hements. ¡°Closers World will be going under maintenance. I am not sure about the results of the maintenance and there will be nopensation. I wee you guys to continue to give your support to Closers World and I will try my best to provide the best game experience.¡±

    He turned off the live stream and was nodding happily. Although, the yers were not let into Closers World yet, he could already imagine how much the yers would miss him and when the game reopened, his evolution would be rapid.

    Afterall this was the only game in the world that could rece sleep. The yers had no other choice.

    After finishing the live stream, Zhao Yao observed the server and he left upon confirming that there were no yers left.

    He returned to the awareness dimension and watched the awareness dimension together with Diana to make sure Giggle was not able to escape.

    ¡°Closers World absorbed yers energy to operate and be stronger. If there are no yers inside, it will weaken.¡±

    Hence, over the next few days, Zhao Yao and Diana took turns guarding Closers World. Zhao Yao would also enter it everyday and he could feel that Closers World was gradually weakening.

    Finally, after seven days, when Diana was watching Closers World, something rushed out from Closers World. Giggle¡¯s awareness collided into Diana and escaped into the distance.

    Diana rushed up and the two cat¡¯s awareness collided. Giggle was angered. ¡°You traitor! You help a human deal with one of your kind?!¡±

    After fighting for a while, Giggle felt an rming presence descend. Zhao Yao was here.

    ¡°Surrender Giggle. You cannot escape.¡±

    Roar!

    ¡°Surrender?¡± Giggle yelled, ¡°How can I surrender to such primitive, disgusting and useless human being like you!¡±

    Then, Giggle threw himself towards Zhao Yao and Diana.

    Upon feeling that Giggle¡¯s awareness was breaking apart, Zhao Yao said, ¡°Hey! What are you doing? At this rate you are going to die.¡±

    Giggle knew that he would not be able to escape but he continued to attack Diana and Zhao Yao until the veryst moment when his awareness dissipated into the awareness dimension.

    ¡°He is dead just like that?¡± Zhao Yao thought to himself.

    Then, Zhao Yao and Diana searched and still could not find Giggle. Hence, they went back to Closers World and wanted to do a thorough search. They wanted to check if Giggle was hiding inside and found a way to control Closers World.

    Although Closers World was a game and a dreamscape, its internal structure was veryplicated. There wasnd, sky, and sea. All kinds of differentnds and countless missions.

    Even if Diana and Zhao Yao used the Nightmare Lord¡¯s identity to enter Closers World, it took them two weeks to get a rough idea.

    ¡°It seems like he is really dead...¡±

    Since they could not find any trace of Giggle, Zhao Yao did not n to continue to look. It was more important to get control of Closers World.

    However, Giggle was just a member of the alien cats. Zhao Yao could remember Doomsday clearly.

    The moment he remembered Doomsday¡¯s powers, he felt like his head went numb.

    ¡°Please do not have millions of Toms and Giggles appearing...¡±

    Apart from Doomsday, Zhao Yao also found out more about the alien cats from Arria and Asser. The alien cats¡¯ goals wereplicated, though they wouldn¡¯t attack Earth together. Still, they were not to be messed with.

    Afterall, these guys were not as docile and easily bullied as the cats on Earth. Zhao Yao need to be more prepared.

    Zhao Yao did not mention anything and was nning on how to overtake Closers World.

    ¡°Adding the week before this and the two weeks after. Closers World has reached its weakest state. Now, Diana and I will use the power of Nightmare Lord to steal this dreamscape. Then, we will have a high chance of controlling this dreamscape.¡±

    Zhao Yao and Diana was shing around and they arrived in the depths of dreamscape. It was somewhere an ordinary yer would never reach.

    Diana¡¯s power of Nightmare Lord could enter dreams and could alter space and time in a dreamscape.

    In the past, Closers World was too strong and even if Diana was Lv19, she could not alter it.

    Now, there had been no yers logging on for two weeks. Its power was very low and Zhao Yao and Diana could easily alter space toe to the heart of this dreamscape.

    There was a giant heart in front of Zhao Yao and Diana. There was a thumping sound every time it moved and there seemed to be an invisible energy being absorbed and released.

    Diana was surprised. ¡°What is this?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°This is the core of Closers World. I found it yesterday.¡±

    Diana was very curious. ¡°How sure are you that it is the core? Is it a mission or something?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Diana¡¯s appearance now. She was covered in thick white fur which made her look like a round furball.

    Thinking back at how Diana looked in reality with her fur shaved, Zhao Yao could understand why she wanted to be a furball in Closers World. He couldn¡¯t resist and said, ¡°Can you look more normal... you look really...¡±

    ¡°What? Is there not enough fur?¡± Diana observed her body in a hurry. ¡°Which part is dropping fur?¡±

    ¡°Forget it.¡± Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and walked behind the heart. ¡°This is how I know this thing is the core of Closers World.¡±

    Diana walked over and saw the back of the heart. There were a few huge words.

    ¡°The eternal super-powered core of Closers World.¡±

    ¡°Do not scratch it! Do not scratch it!¡±

    ¡°Remember to shave the fur near the leg.¡±

    ¡°The door to the power room is here.¡±

    Diana was speechless as she read the words below the cat pawprints. ¡°It feels unreliable.¡±

    ¡°We will know when we go in.¡± Zhao Yao walked up and pushed the position of the pawprint. He pushed the door and the space inside the heart appeared in front of him.

    There was a huge space that exceeded the dimensions of the heart. There were countless pipes in the air.

    Diana was surprised when she felt that it was filled with awareness energy. ¡°It is really here. I can feel that it is absorbing awareness energy.¡±

    Then, there was a sh and an image of a golden short furred cat appeared in the air.

    ¡°Meow!¡± The golden cat said, ¡°Wee to the eternal super-powered core of Closers World. Please verify your identity.¡±

    As they spoke, the surrounding awareness gathered and a bright red light filled the room.

    The golden cat shouted, ¡°How dare you break in! You guys will have to die!¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned, this was a defense system left behind by Giggle. The awareness gathered and swept across the room. He worked together with Diana and shattered the attack. Then, they smashed the golden cat.

    After the golden cat disappeared, the brightness in the room was depleting. Diana eximed. ¡°I think we ruined this ce.¡±

    It was shing and it looked like a power room with its light bulb broken. Zhao Yao said, ¡°Let¡¯s fix it!¡±

    As they spoke, both of them activated their powers and saw that the cat appeared again in the distorted dimension.

    It was Nightmare Lord¡¯s power by Zhao Yao and Diana to recover the attacked golden cat.

    Zhao Yao was confident in what he was doing.

    As Closers World got weaker, Zhao Yao and Diana could weave this dreamscape together. This was where his confidence came from.

    A few minutester, seeing that the golden cat was attacked again. The power room started to break apart again. Zhao Yao knew that it would take quite a while before he couldpletely take control of Closers World.

    He thought about it and wanted Diana to keep watch of the power room while he figured it out slowly.

    Zhao Yao needed to go out and settle other things. He had to develop the catmint market and he had to continue expanding Cat Wondend and the operations of Closers World...

    For the next few months, there were many meetings concerning Zhao Yao in China.

    ¡°Everyone can see Zhao Yao¡¯s potential and how he can influential he can be. Furthermore, he is closer to us. We should continue to nurture our ties and it would be the best investment.

    ¡°Indeed. All his base is situated in China. Zhao Yao is still very patriotic.¡±

    ¡°With such strong capabilities, he does not want money or authority. All he wants to do is to sell catmint, open departmental stores and run online games. There very little teenagers nowadays with such down to earth attitude.¡±

    ¡°Support him. We should support his career fully.¡±

    Although Zhao Yao wanted to do many things, now, he had the title of surviving a nuclear explosion.

    So, naturally everyone would see his potential and value for investment. Everything he wanted to do would be approved.

    After Zhao Yao appeared on the live streams for the past few days, information and news about him were rife on the inte and he became the hottest celebrity in the world.

    With full exposure of superpowers, a few countries and external influence made use of the chance to feed the masses with more superpower news, making it the hottest topic on the inte for a few months.

    There were countless daily visitors to Zhao Yao¡¯s previous home,pany, and school to take pictures.

    ¡°Everyone please queue up. Take pictures one at a time. Do not be impatient... This is Zhao Yao¡¯s initialpany where he deleted the database. I don¡¯t have proof because he used his superpower tomit the crime.¡±

    At a news conference, a group of reporters took pictures of Nessie continuously.

    ¡°Let me tell you, when I first met Zhao Yao, I knew he was extraordinary.¡± Nessie picked up a book and said, ¡°The details of how I fought with Zhao Yao can be found in my book that I wrote in prison. Please buy my book ¡®Life¡¯s Circumstances¡¯.¡±

    Xiao Ming stood outside his African factory and spoke into his cellphonepletely exhrated.

    ¡°Er... you¡¯re investing in my factory? Yes, I owed Zhao Yao tens of millions of dors. Zhao Yao invested tens of millions in my factory. Half of my shares belonged to him...¡±

    Xiao Ming was moved as he said, ¡°You¡¯re thinking of investing? Great... we¡¯re very close. If not, why would he invest tens of millions? That¡¯s tens of millions, even parents would fall out with me over these sums. Do you know how close I am with Zhao Yao?¡±

    At the entrance of a high school, a man approached Xiao Yu and said, ¡°You must be Zhao Yao¡¯s aunt, Miss Yu?¡±

    ¡°What a young aunt?¡± A burly man said in surprise, ¡°You must have the superpower of bing youthful? Your real self must be a great beauty.¡±

    Xiao Yu was getting impatient and wanted to chase him away. She narrowed her eyes and said in astonishment, ¡°You managed to see through that?¡±

    With the rise of Zhao Yao¡¯s influence, the enterprise that he was developing progressed rapidly in a few months.

    Before long, the catmint prohibition was extended to the entire country and Dust Ball Catmint became the only official catmint. Dust Ball Catmint started selling in many cities.

    Zhao Yao bought an entire street which was next to Cat Wondend on loan. The street developed and expanded.

    Most of his business was handed to Bai Quan. Zhao Yao spent most of his time researching Closers World.

    ...

    Half a yearter, in a small and poor county in China.

    A girl skipped and bounced as she approached a newly opened cafe.

    The renovated cafe was situated on a dpidated street and looked outstanding amidst the surrounding worn out shops.

    After opening the cafe door, thess saw an unhappy orange cat squatting by the entrance, waiting for her.

    Thess lowered her head apologetically and sped both her hands. ¡°Sorry! Sorry! I¡¯mte because the rm on my cell phone didn¡¯t ring!¡± She opened her eyes and surveyed the deep end of the cafe. ¡°Is boss here?¡±

    A youth, who had pale face and dark eye circles, was resting on a reclining chair. He squinted his eyes as the sun shone on his body, making him lookzy.

    He looked as though he was an old cat sunbathing in a courtyard.

    The orange cat shook his head and pointed to the kitchen. Ning Ning hurried to the kitchen to prepare the cat¡¯s breakfast.

    She cooked the cat meal using fresh ingredients she prepared yesterday as she sized up the youth. She thought, ¡°He has dark eye circles, he must have sleptte...¡±

    The boss of the cafe gave her a mysterious and weird feeling.

    For example, the cafe was built overnight. It was amon convenience store the day before the opening of the cafe.

    The boss rested sickly on the chair daily and he didn¡¯t greet customers.

    The boss also looked familiar but she could not recall why.

    Cats would appear and vanish in the cafe mysteriously. Ning Ning did not know how many cats the boss kept. She only knew there were no cats in sight except during meal times. Then, she would be surrounded by various cats.

    ¡°The boss must be an apostle. The cats felt like supercats.¡± Ning Ning thought excitedly, ¡°Perhaps they can help me after I be friends with them?¡±

    Matcha sat in front of Ning Ning and scoffed, ¡°She has a silly look. This foolish girl¡¯s my worst employee.¡±

    Latte hugged his head as he walked over. Half a year had passed and his body was half of Matcha¡¯s size. He looked like Matcha that had been starved for a week.

    Latte fixed his gaze on Ning Ning¡¯s cat meals. He wiped off the saliva from the corners of his lips and said, ¡°Meal time? Is it our meal time?¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°Silly cat, we¡¯re not eating salmon today.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t call me silly cat. My IQ test score is 90!¡± Latte pped his paws in anger. Ever since Milk Tea exposed their pretending to be sick, Matcha had been calling him silly and he hated it.

    He had an IQ of 90, how could he be a silly cat?

    Matcha said, ¡°You only have three days¡¯ worth of memory. How could you not be silly?¡±

    ¡°Nonsense! I can remember more. Test me if you don¡¯t believe!¡±

    Matcha asked, ¡°What did you have for Sunday¡¯s dinner?¡±

    ¡°I...st week...¡± Latte bit his paw pad as he tried to recall the answer. His confidence was shaken. ¡°Am I really a silly cat? My IQ is 90.¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°It¡¯s alright if you can¡¯t remember. A lot of cats were unable to recall what they ate a few days before...¡±

    Latte sat at one side and heaved in relief. Matcha said, ¡°From the next month onwards, Zhao Yao will set up a monthly test. Cats who fail the tests will have deductions from their sry and bonus, in addition to remedial ss...¡±

    ¡°What!¡± Latte said furiously, ¡°Do I have to go for tests? Remedial ss too? That¡¯s unreasonable! It¡¯s cat torture!¡±

    When he thought about Zhao Yao, Latte was discouraged and he sighed in resignation. He felt that the world was cruel even though he was less than a year old. His IQ of 90 was not good enough for him to survive.

    As Latte was fretting over the cruelty of the world, Ning Ning put a fewrge tes of prepared cat meal on the ground and left the remaining food on the table. She shouted, ¡°Meal time!¡±

    The pounding of footsteps were heard from the cabs, under the dining table, bathroom and the house beams... The cats seemed to appear from thin air and more than 20 cats strolled into the kitchen as though they were shopping.

    Latte bolted forward and he forgot about the tests. He wanted to fill his stomach first. ¡°I¡¯m having my meal. I want nothing to do with tests.¡±

    Elizabeth¡¯s tail was straightened high up in the air and she looked like a model on the stage. She walked to a te and frowned as she tasted and swallowed reluctantly.

    Beside her, a ball of fur shifted and smiled. ¡°Isn¡¯t this my sister Elizabeth? Why¡¯s your fur getting thinner? Did you shed a lot of fur?¡±

    Elizabeth gave a shake to her body and the threeyers of fake fur danced around. ¡°Aren¡¯t you my sister whose fur was cut? Your cat fur looks stiff and dry. Is it fake?¡±

    The agitated voice of Diana came out from the fur ball. ¡°What nonsense is that? How can I have fake fur? Humph, I can see the discoloration of your stiff fur. Your fur¡¯s fake?¡±

    ¡°Diana!!¡±

    ¡°Elizabeth!!¡±

    Lightning nced at the two fur balls that were knocking on each other on the dining table. He frowned and said, ¡°Two fake cats. How could youpare to my natural smooth long fur?¡±

    He turned his head to look at the food te and took out his cell phone carefully. He ced his cell phone by the food te as he wanted to watch videos and eat his meal at the same time.

    ¡°How can I not watch videos when I eat?¡± Lightning nced at his eatingpanions and felt superior. ¡°I¡¯m learning even when I¡¯m eating.¡±

    After surveying his friends, Lightning became excited.

    On his cell phone were pictures of Sphynx cat touring the Himyas.

    ¡°Is Sphynx cat bing a deity?¡±

    Lightning knew that Sphynx cat was sent by Zhao Yao to guard the Door of Evesting Life but there was a Dimension Portal over there so Sphynx cat was able to return and visit them.

    After Sphynx cat revived, he changed. He stayed in the snowy regions and asked for biology, physics, qigong and martial arts rted books. Nobody knew what he was doing.

    ¡°Humph, they¡¯re all useless. We have to depend on Zhao Yao.¡± Lightning nced subconsciously at Zhao Yao.

    Roly Poly, who was having his meal, was pondering about Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Zhao Yao has been researching Closers World for the past half a year. He can handle the external affairs once a while. He came here to avoid annoying people and to rx.¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s eyes turned around as he asked Project X, ¡°Zhao Yao¡¯s researching Closers World, how¡¯s he doing?¡±

    Project X said, ¡°Closers World isn¡¯t liberated so it¡¯s not sessful. Don¡¯t think about it. Zhao Yao will not let you manage Closers World. Why don¡¯t you learn from me instead?¡±

    Project X said, ¡°No matter how fantastical the Awareness Dimension is, as long as we live in the material realm, we will be governed by the rules of reality. There are no exceptions for Zhao Yao and the alien cats.

    Gravity, radiation, time and space were still affecting them. Like Matcha¡¯s Time Freeze and Sphynx cat¡¯s training, even without the help of the power of awareness, they were able to resist against the alien cats.

    Project X said, ¡°If you follow my training methods, you will defeat Zhao Yao one day.¡±

    Roly Poly frowned as he did not want to train like a fool as he preferred to follow Zhao Yao¡¯s lead.

    Ning Ning served a small cat meal to a golden te and put the te on the dining table. She shouted at Matcha, ¡°Matcha, meal time.¡±

    Matcha walked over slowly and gently leapt up on the dining table. After tasting a few mouthfuls, he threw the te down the table and looked disdainfully at Ning Ning.

    Ning Ning looked at the spilled food with pity and said, ¡°What¡¯re you doing Matcha?¡±

    Matcha took out his cell phone and typed in a frenzy before showing it to Ning Ning.

    Ning Ning said, ¡°Too unappetizing?¡±

    Matcha turned back his cell phone and typed, ¡°Your culinary skills are bad. Please redo the dish.¡±

    ¡°D*mn cat...¡± Ning Ning frowned. She felt like strangling the arrogant Matcha.

    A swooshing sound was heard and a roll of toilet paper smacked into Matcha, causing him to fall to the ground.

    Zhao Yao said calmly, ¡°Eat your meal. Don¡¯t bully Ning Ning.¡±

    Matcha ate his meal obediently.

    Ning Ning edged closer and looked pleased at Zhao Yao. ¡°Boss, you are awake? Do you want me to make something for you to eat?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not necessary. Carry on with your chores.¡± Zhao Yao let Ning Ning proceed with her work. He could not resist smiling.

    After spending more than half a year researching Closers World, it was finally going to be under his control.

    Ning Ning, who was being told to work by Zhao Yao, frowned. She opened her cell phone and saw a message from her close friend who joined an apostle organization. She was paired with a supercat and she asked Ning Ning if she wanted to join.

    Ning Ning congratted her friend courteously but cursed in her heart the good luck of her friend. She thought, ¡°Would I have a chance to borrow superpowers from my boss¡¯ supercats... after thinking carefully, the apostles and supercats that came to our little county cannot be that awesome.¡±

    ¡°Why don¡¯t I join my friend¡¯s apostle organization?¡±

    ¡°But I¡¯ve to go to the provincial capital... Don¡¯t I have to live by myself? This is troublesome.¡±

    Zhao Yao was not bothered nor concerned that his employee was thinking of quitting her job as he could employ a recement.

    Would he do the work himself? That was impossible as he was a hero that survived a holocaust. Who heard of a hero who needed to do the cleaning and cooking himself. Closers World was his only concern.

    Zhao Yao was extremely happy when he thought about Closers World. ¡°I¡¯ve controlled the power room. With the Nightmare Lord¡¯s power, I¡¯m able to modify Closers World¡¯s settings.¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin as he thought, ¡°I have to improve this virtual game, otherwise I¡¯m unable to promote this game and let the whole world y it.¡±

    Zhao Yao worked extremely hard when he thought of attaining the power of awareness from Tom and Giggle.

    ording to Tom¡¯s information, they were alien cats of the middle range. There were many stronger alien cats with more terrifying superpowers.

    ¡°Hmm, let me make this game more fun...¡±

    What kind of game was fun? How to attract many people to y?

    Zhao Yao pondered and understood that he had two problems.

    Fun was a personal feeling. A hundred gamers would have a hundred preferences. To them, fun was different for everyone.

    To attract a lot of gamers to y, the criteria was different from fun.

    Looking at the ranking in the market, the most fun and the game with thergest following were never the same as there were various factors affecting them.

    Zhao Yao decided that Closers World 2.0 was not merely a fun game but a game with thergest pool of gamers.

    ¡°My goal is to let everyone on Earth y this game. I can¡¯t make it a free game to attract gamers.¡±

    Zhao Yao understood that if his goal was to get a few hundred thousand gamers, he could provide free games visors and servers to attract gamers.

    If the target gamer count was tens of billions, then he had to charge a fee. Even if a few countries partnered up for this venture, they would go bankrupt.

    ¡°It¡¯s impossible to make the game free. I have to make the cost low and content interesting.¡±

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes and pondered. ¡°The first item for my content is... breast shake!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m turning all grandpas into cat-eared girls.¡±

    As Zhao Yao thought about his game, hey on the chair and closed his eyes as though he was sleeping. He was actually entering Closers World, designing, changing and nning the game.

    After entering a dreamscape, a second in reality was equivalent to tens of hours in the dreamscape. His work efficiency was improved thousands of times. After spending a day in reality, he couldplete the redesign of Closers World 2.0.

    Ning Ning washed the soiled dishes while she sized up Zhao Yao warily. She saw Zhao Yao sleeping and said softly, ¡°Boss?¡±

    ¡°Boss?¡±

    ¡°Boss, are you asleep?¡±

    When she was sure Zhao Yao was sleeping, Ning Ning carried Matcha, who wasying motionless after eating his meal. She looked earnestly at Matcha.

    Matcha said, ¡°What¡¯s this silly girl doing?¡±

    Ning Ning thought, ¡°I¡¯m already 20 years old. I can¡¯t waste my time. It¡¯s time for me to make a decision. I¡¯ll start with Matcha and ask about the cats¡¯ superpowers.¡±

    She pondered for a while and stroked Matcha¡¯s head. ¡°Mat~cha~you¡¯ve be cuter.¡±

    Matcha stared at her listlessly and thought, ¡°Nonsense, I don¡¯t need you to remind me.¡±

    Ning Ning got a can from behind her and put it in front of Matcha. She said fondly, ¡°Matcha, this is a present for you.¡±

    Matcha looked at the can of herring and stared in disdain at Ning Ning.

    Ning Ning smiled and said, ¡°You must be very happy? I checked on the inte. Cats like things with a strong smell so you like fish.¡±

    ¡°I got this imported can of herring with strong smell. Try it!¡±

    ¡°Hehe, you aren¡¯t able to open the can? I¡¯ll help you.¡±

    Ning Ning helped Matcha open the can. Then she covered her nose and back off ten meters as she pointed at the can and said, ¡°Take it Matcha. It¡¯s your canned food.¡±

    ¡°Eat my s*it Who want this trash!¡± Matcha swiped with his paw and the can flew andnded on Ning Ning¡¯s face. Matcha meowed and left. ¡°It¡¯s my bad luck early morning to encounter species discrimination from a silly girl.¡±

    Ning Ning was furious as she looked at her body stained with herring. ¡°Disgusting. I was thinking of asking him about their superpowers but he¡¯s very uncooperative.¡±

    After cleaning up her body, Ning Ning wiped the table and mopped the floor. Seeing the sleeping Zhao Yao and the empty shop, she frowned. ¡°The shop will close down sooner orter.¡±

    The cafe¡¯s doorbell rang. A young and talldy with maroon hair, fair skin and trendy clothes walked in and surveyed the area. Seeing Ning Ning, she smiled and walked over to her. ¡°Ning Ning, you are really working here.¡±

    Ning Ning lifted her head and recognized the youngdy. ¡°Yang Hui, why are you here? Aren¡¯t you preparing to go overseas? You have time to visit me?¡±

    ¡°We¡¯re good friends.¡± Yang Hui smiled and her eyes gazed at Zhao Yao asionally. Then she focused on Elizabeth and Diana who were having their meal.

    Ning Ning chattered excited at her side and Yang Hui pretended to listen. Shepared the looks of the two Ragdoll cat and took out her cell phone. Then she looked at Elizabeth, Diana and the photographs on her cell phone.

    Yang Hui¡¯s aim was not to catch up with her ssmate but the two Ragdoll cats in front of her.

    ¡°Though the fur¡¯s longer than in the pictures but the face shape and the facial creases are alike.¡±

    Yang Hui¡¯s photographs of Elizabeth and Diana were taken by people who visited the cat cafe in Jianghaist time.

    With the growing fame of Zhao Yao, the photographs of him and his supercats in the previous cat cafe were circting around.

    Yang Hui identally saw Ning Ning¡¯s photograph of her working cafe and discovered Elizabeth and Diana. She thought that the two cats looked like Zhao Yao¡¯s Ragdoll cats and decided to take a look.

    ¡°The facial creases and the fur color are alike. But...¡± Yang Hui lifted her head to look at the sleeping Zhao Yao. ¡°This man is not Zhao Yao. Why would hee to our small county to set up a cafe?¡±

    Yang Hui gazed at Elizabeth and Diana for a while and asked Ning Ning, ¡°Are the cats in the shop supercats?¡±

    Ning Ning nodded and said, ¡°Yes, yes, that¡¯s the reason I¡¯m working here! I¡¯m on close terms with the supercats and they might lend me their superpowers.¡±

    ¡°Ning Ning, you are awesome. You¡¯re able to find your own supercats that fast.¡± Yang Huiplimented her and asked curiously, ¡°What are their superpowers?¡±

    Ning Ning stammered and her eyes lit up finally. ¡°It¡¯s a secret. I can¡¯t divulge it.¡±

    Yang Hui nodded and looked at Zhao Yao as she asked, ¡°Is that your boss? Is he the one who¡¯s sleeping?¡±

    Ning Ning creased her nose and said, ¡°Yes, he sleeps the whole day while I work in the shop from morning till night. It looks as though it¡¯s my shop....¡±

    A long yawn was heard and both of them turned their heads to see Zhao Yao get up from the chair and stretch his back.

    ¡°I¡¯m deadbeat...¡± Zhao Yao looked fatigued. ¡°That many dungeons, monsters, pets and equipment to redesign and I have to delete Giggle¡¯s game settings. It¡¯s frustrating. And the breast shake doesn¡¯t look natural.¡±

    The time in reality ran for tens of minutes but Zhao Yao worked for two to three years in Closers World. He was feeling mentally drained.

    Because he was fatigued for the past six months, Zhao Yao hid his identity and traveled around to rx so that he would not fall ill from exhaustion. What was going to happen to humans and the Earth?

    He massaged his temples and pondered over the design of Closers World. ¡°I¡¯ve got to think of a way to stimte their desire to y the game. Since I¡¯m not thinking of making money, they have to dedicate themselves to the game.¡±

    Though he designed many things, the rewards, gamey and rhythm were still not perfected.

    He decided to learn from his seniors and y the highest ranking games in China. With gaming experience, he would be able to bring more to the table for his gamers.

    He ran to theputer on the bar counter and started downloadingputer games. ¡°I¡¯ll y Dungeon Fighter Online. I haven¡¯t yed League of Legends. And Fantasy Westward Journey. Hmm... I¡¯ll consider Shouyou too...¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Seeing the downloading in progress, Zhao Yao looked at Ning Ning¡¯s face and looked at her breasts. He shook his head in disappointment. His eyes lit up when he noticed Yang Hui.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Hey youngdy, your leg... there¡¯s a problem.¡±

    Yang Hui was stunned. ¡°Ah?¡±

    Ning Ning was puzzled and she could not figure what Zhao Yao was doing.

    ¡°Believe me. I can save lives and heal diseases. I saved tens of people who died. ¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, jump a few times. Your heels will hurt.¡±

    Yang Hui was wary but Zhao Yao had supercats and he might have some superpowers. She tried jumping but did not discover any issues.

    She found Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes fixated on her breasts like an X-ray. She blushed in embarrassment and covered her chest.

    Ning Ning stood in front of Yang Hui and said angrily, ¡°Boss! What are you doing? Your eyes are dropping out.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m collecting data.¡± Zhao Yao shut his eyes immediately.

    Ning Ning asked bewildered, ¡°Why did you close your eyes?¡±

    ¡°To prevent a t chested girl from corrupting my newly collected data.¡±

    ¡°What t...¡± Ning Ning stopped halfway and she blushed with anger. ¡°Pervert!¡±

    ¡°What pervert? Do you think I want to do such things?¡± Zhao Yao frowned and said, ¡°Aren¡¯t I busy every day protecting Earth?¡±

    Ning Ning said angrily, ¡°What has this got to do with protecting the Earth? You are unscrupulous!¡±

    Zhao Yao said casually, ¡°I¡¯m making a good game to deal with alien cats so I am collecting your friend¡¯s data. I want to make the game more realistic.¡±

    Ning Ning scoffed as she did not believe Zhao Yao and his crap about alien cats.

    Yang Hui frowned and thought Zhao Yao was a nutcase. She said goodbye to Ning Ning and left in a hurry.

    Zhao Yao was nonchnt. He looked at theputer screen and yedputer games.

    Ning Ning sighed and she became depressed as she felt she had no future working in this shop. It was not easy to be an apostle.

    As Ning Ning worked in the afternoon, she contemted if she should try her luck in the provincial capital. She heard the Xiao Wang next door was employed and could get 5000 dors of sry without working. That was the life Ning Ning desired.

    Latte walked to her and rubbed her feet as he meowed, ¡°Salmon! I didn¡¯t have salmon today! I want to eat salmon!¡±

    Ning Ning lowered her head to nce at Latte and smiled merrily. ¡°Latte¡¯s very obedient. I¡¯ll y with youter.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not ying. I want to eat salmon!¡± Latte slowed down his speech and said word by word, ¡°I~want~to~eat~salmon~¡±

    ¡°Silly cat.¡± Matcha could not resist saying, ¡°Can she understand what you were saying? Do you think she would understand if you slowed down? Anyway, the menu¡¯s decided by Zhao Yao. It¡¯s useless to tell her.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not a silly cat!¡± Latte retorted and skipped over to the Dimension Portal. ¡°I¡¯m looking for Milk Tea. He¡¯ll have salmon with him.¡±

    Matcha looked at Latte enter the Extradimensional Belly and shook his head. He took out his cell phone and essed a Wechat group called Secret Warfare.

    Matcha said, ¡°How is it? Have you settled it?¡±

    Lightning sent a back view picture of a walking female cat whose buttocks and tail were revealed.

    Fish Ball said, ¡°Who¡¯s this? She has a beautiful tail.¡±

    Cannon said, ¡°Send us the front view!¡±

    Lightning sent out the picture of the front view and the group was shocked.

    Ares said, ¡°S*it, don¡¯t send pictures of such a back view killer.¡±

    Cannon said, ¡°Thank goodness I pleasured myself quickly.¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°Shut up. I¡¯m asking important questions. Milk Tea, how are things?¡±

    Milk Tea said, ¡°Hmm, my preparations here are almostplete. What did Master Zhao discover?¡±

    Matcha lifted up his head and looked warily at Zhao Yao who was yingputer games. He replied, ¡°All is normal. He didn¡¯t discover anything.¡±

    Fish Ball said, ¡± (* ?¡´?), tonight, I¡¯m not able toe.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Matcha said, ¡°What are you up to? Didn¡¯t we agree on it? The n¡¯s ready and you are backing out?¡±

    Fish Ball said sadly, ¡°Li Li wants to do her hair tonight and I have to look after the kids.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re trash!¡± Matcha said, ¡°Why are you obeying Li Li?¡±

    Fish Ball said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to but Xiao Yu and Noodle supported her. My status is only higher than the cat stick.¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°You¡¯ve disgraced all the tomcats. Don¡¯t listen to her and see what she¡¯ll do!¡±

    Milk Tea suggested, ¡°Fish Ball, bring the kids over here. We¡¯ll take care of them.¡±

    Fish Ball was pleased and said, ¡°Oh, Really?¡±

    ¡°Yes, no problem,¡± Milk Tea said. ¡°I have experience taking care of Latte. Leave it to me.¡±

    ¡°Hooray Milk Tea!¡± Fish Ball said. ¡°I¡¯lle overter!¡±

    Half a year passed, besides researching Closers World, Zhao Yao continued with umting experience points and his end of the month ounting.

    Elizabeth and Dust Ball were upgraded to Level 10.

    Elizabeth expended one of Zhao Yao¡¯s skill points and she obtained Seventh Sense Illusion Control and Illusion Boundary that could sustain arge area illusion for 10 days.

    Dust Ball also expended a skill point and Zhao Yao was left with two skill points. Dust Ball obtained Dimension Expansion and the Extradimensional Belly was expanding 5% monthly. The potential to expand was infinite.

    Dust Ball also obtained Dimension Shift which allowed her to shift Dimension Portals with ease. This was unlike the previous times in which she had to reposition to shift the portals.

    Dimension Shift sounded ordinary but Zhao Yao understood that it was very useful. When faced with enemies, he was able to shift the Dimension Portal and sweep them into the Extradimensional Belly.

    Besides Dust Ball and Elizabeth¡¯s upgrade, Zhao Yao¡¯s greatest haul was the lottery draw.

    For the past six months, Zhao Yao sold Dust Ball¡¯s catmint in more than 30 cities andpleted the upgrade that elevated the end of month ounting mission.

    The current end of month ounting mission covered the entire China¡¯s catmint market. He was awarded 10 lottery chances for every 1% of the market share.

    He obtained 29% market share and was awarded 290 lottery chances.

    His draws included Cat Emperor Armor Fragments (45/240), 15 Improvement Stones, Spicy Cat Strips and a sizable amount of experience points.

    Zhao Yao spent too much time researching Closers World and he only recently had obtained full control. It was a pity Diana was not upgraded as a result.

    Zhao Yao believed that with his fame, once Closers World was open for gamey, the evolution progress bar would skyrocket.

    Zhao Yao yedputer games diligently. Three hourster, he had a deeper understanding of how to attract gamers. He shut down hisputer,y down on the chair, closed his eyes and decided to enter Closers World.

    As hey down, Ning Ning stood in front of him and said unhappily, ¡°Boss, are you sleeping again?¡±

    ¡°What sleeping?¡± Zhao Yao replied glumly, ¡°I¡¯m working overtime. Do you know that once Iy down, that¡¯s months and years of work.¡±

    Ning Ning scoffed as she did not believe a word of his and said, ¡°The ingredients are all used up, I¡¯m unable to prepare cat meals.¡±

    ¡°Such voracious appetites?¡± Zhao Yao looked at the overweight supercats in the Dimension Portal, hiding on the wooden beams, under the sofa and the counter and thought he was keeping pigs.

    ¡°Forget it. I¡¯ll transfer money to you. Get some food for them.¡±

    Zhao Yaoy down again and entered Closers World.

    Ning Ning looked enviously at Zhao Yao asleep. ¡°Sleeping after eating, eating after sleeping, yingputer games when bored. When can I have such rxing life?¡±

    Zhao Yao focused his mind and arrived at the Beginner¡¯s Vige of Closers World.

    A cat with golden fur floated in front of a cat-eared girl and pressed her breasts continuously.

    Hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s footsteps, the golden cat turned around and said submissively, ¡°You¡¯re here, boss? I¡¯m helping the cat-eared girls in the Beginner¡¯s Vige to sculpt their faces.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded at Tom. After capturing him, Zhao Yao locked him in Closers World to prevent him from creating trouble on Earth. He was also helping Zhao Yao in reconstructing Closers World.

    To prevent his escape, he beat Tom until his power of awareness dropped to Level 11 and he was unable to travel in the Awareness Dimension.

    The level indicator above Tom¡¯s head was equivalent to the supercat level of the Book. When Tom became weaker, Zhao Yao saw that his level had dropped.

    Though Tom was submissive but he thought, ¡°I¡¯ll let you be arrogant. Wait till I recover my power, I¡¯ll find a chance to escape, get reinforcements and my father to avenge me.¡±

    Zhao Yao saw the Level 15 figure clearly above Tom¡¯s head and pped his head.

    The power of awareness collided and Tom¡¯s body disintegrated and slowly formed back.

    Tom was befuddled and asked, ¡°Boss, why did you p me?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the Level 14 figure above Tom¡¯s head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t need a reason to p cats, do you have a problem?¡±

    Tom was indignant but he lowered his head sadly.

    Zhao Yao pped him twice until he dropped to Level 11 and he nodded with satisfaction.

    Tom was nursing his grievance as he looked at Zhao Yao. It was not easy for him to recover his power of awareness and it was destroyed. ¡°Zhao Yao¡¯s violent and that¡¯s disgusting!¡±

    Because the time in the dreamscape was elerated, Tom had stayed inside for more than ten years.

    Being a vengeful supercat, Tom decided that once his father arrived on Earth and captured Zhao Yao, he wanted Zhao Yao to sculpt breasts until hisst breath. Tom wanted Zhao Yao to know his suffering.

    Zhao Yao walked to the front of the cat-eared girl and said, ¡°I have done my observation outside and recollected data. You¡¯ll follow this from now on.¡±

    The cat-eared girl¡¯s figure transformed and looked natural and graceful, almost like Yang Hui.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Is this considered giarism? Should I pay thatdy a copyright royalty?¡±

    Zhao Yao focused his mind and the cat-eared girl¡¯s breasts became bigger. ¡°This is not considered giarism.¡±

    Tom scoffed at Zhao Yao¡¯s behavior. ¡°Zhao Yao likes fat girls that much... Humans are a primitive race.¡±

    ...

    As Zhao Yao stayed in Closers World and worked overtime, Ning Ning bought ingredients to make cat meals. She felt that Zhao Yao was not employing her to tend a shop. Instead she was helping to feed the pigs.

    When Ning Ning returned, Latte, who had exited from the Extradimensional Belly and carrying a full belly, meowed and walked around Ning Ning as he rubbed against her.

    Latte fixed his gaze at Ning Ning¡¯s fish. He salivated and typed on his cell phone that said, ¡°Ning Ning, do you need my help to carry your fish?¡±

    Ning Ning was happy tomunicate with the supercat who was helping her to carry the food. This proved that her rtion with the cats was improving. Not all cats were as difficult as Matcha.

    Ning Ning raised the meat in her hand and said, ¡°You¡¯re obedient Latte. I¡¯m able to carry it myself. This isn¡¯t fish, it¡¯s beef.¡±

    Ning Ning status dropped rapidly in Latte¡¯s eyes. He swung his tail and left in a huff.

    Latte came to Matcha who was ying with his cell phone and said happily, ¡°Matcha, I had salmon at Milk Tea¡¯s ce and they were this huge! Wrong, they were that huge.¡± He extended his paws to indicate the salmon size.

    Matcha¡¯s eyes were fixed on the screen and he said casually, ¡°Oh.¡±

    Latte frowned and decided not to talk to him after his condescending attitude. He wanted Matcha to know the feeling of being ignored.

    Meowing sounds were heard and Latte frowned as he swung his tail impatiently. The kitten that he hated hade.

    A three month old American Shorthair ran out from the Dimension Portal. He was wearing a cor and leash that were connected to Fish Ball¡¯s cor and leash.

    Fish Ball looked listless and walked out restlessly. Though the American Shorthair was restrained by the cor and leash, he ran around excitedly in the strange cafe and made a few loops around Fish Ball¡¯s legs.

    Fish Ball said impatiently, ¡°Beef Ball! Don¡¯t run around, stop it!¡±

    Beef Ball said, ¡°I can¡¯t stop it! I¡¯m the Giant of Light and I¡¯m bing light!¡±

    Fish Ball looked at his silly son who was running around like a fly. He exhaled helplessly and raised up his paw to shoot a crimson spot. Beef Ball chased after the crimson dot instead of running amok.

    After a while, another American Shorthair came out from Beef Ball and chased after it.

    More Beef Balls appeared and more than ten American Shorthairs surrounded the crimson spot as they meowed excitedly. Fish Ball¡¯s paw was emitting the crimson spot and moved so rapidly it became a blur.

    ¡°I caught it!¡±

    ¡°No, I caught it!¡±

    ¡°Over there!¡±

    Fish Ball asked Matcha for help, ¡°Matcha! When¡¯s Milk Teaing? I¡¯m going crazy! They are making me go bonkers!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯sing soon.¡± Matcha did not lift his head as he said, ¡°Latte, y with Beef Ball.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to!¡± Latte was furious as those ten silly cats had dug up his salmon fish and pooped in the pit. When he dug up the pit, he found feces instead of his salmon.

    They had be Latte¡¯s mortal enemies and Matcha expected him to y with them? Latte decided not to speak to Matcha tomorrow.

    Fish Ball screamed in his shrill voice as the American Shorthairs dragged the leash and Fish Ball into the Dimension Portal.

    ¡°Matcha! Save me!¡±

    Matcha was sliding his paw on the cell phone screen and said, ¡°Please help Fish Ball.¡±

    The doorbell rang and Ning Ning, who was preparing the meals, turned her head to see a man in branded clothes stroll inside talking and smiling on his cell phone.

    ¡°Friends, we¡¯ll rest for a day and adventureter.¡±

    The male broadcaster Sun Jian looked at the camera and talked as he sat down. ¡°It was a pleasant surprise to find such a nice cafe with a prettyss.¡±

    He pointed the camera at Ning Ning who waved her hand shyly to greet him. She said, ¡°Greetings, what drinks would you like to have?¡±

    ¡°Pretty girl, I¡¯ll have a cup oftte,¡± Sun Jian smiled and said. Seeing a pretty girl in the live stream excited the viewers and made the content more interesting.

    Seeing the requests from the viewers¡¯ments, Sun Jian aimed the camera at Ning Ning¡¯s legs from top to bottom. Thements were frenzied and he received a few gifts.

    Sun Jian smiled and said, ¡°Thank you old friend. If you would like to see more, hit the triple six twice and I¡¯ll provide more content.¡±

    A cat¡¯s head popped up in front of the camera and looked curiously into it. He obstructed the view of the viewers. ¡°Is he a broadcaster?¡±

    ¡°Oh, there¡¯s a cat. A plump one.¡± Sun Jian smiled as he extended his hand to stroke the cat¡¯s head. Matcha backed off and looked unhappily at Sun Jian.

    ¡°The cat¡¯s looking down on you.¡±

    ¡°Grab him and cuddle.¡±

    ¡°Kick the cat aside, I want to see the legs.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t bother about the cat. Look for thess.¡±

    Sun Jian aimed the camera at Ning Ning¡¯s chest and legs continuously.

    Out of the camera¡¯s view, Sun Jian kicked Matcha aside so that he would not be distracted.

    Matcha dodged Sun Jian¡¯s kick and ran to Zhao Yao¡¯s side. He meowed continuously into Zhao Yao¡¯s ears.

    When Ning Ning came over, he aimed the camera at himself and took over thette. He smiled at Ning Ning and said, ¡°Pretty girl, how should I address you?¡±

    ¡°Oh, call me Ning Ning. Would you like to order something else?¡±

    ¡°How old are you?¡± Sun Jian chatted as he looked at thements.

    ¡°Mr Sun¡¯s picking up girls.¡±

    ¡°Bring her back and sleep with her.¡±

    ¡°I think ten thousand will do the trick.¡±

    Sun Jian pulled up the corners of his lips. As a rich man¡¯s son, he did not need to earn a living from the live stream. He was enjoying the fame and attention. Picking up girls was amon theme in his live stream.

    He would only live stream the first portion of the pick up and theter stages.

    After surveying Ning Ning who was young, dressed simply and working in a cafe, Sun Jian was confident he could pick her up.

    Sun Jian said, ¡°Ning Ning, your looks are way better than most inte sensations. Why don¡¯t we do a live stream tonight? I¡¯m sure you would be an instant hit.¡±

    Ning Ning smiled happily and thought that the customer had a good eye and could see her potential. She shook her head. ¡°No, I have work until ten at night.¡±

    Sun Jian said with disdain, ¡°What¡¯s the big deal with working in this run down cafe? Looking at the renovation, I suppose there isn¡¯t much business and would close down sooner orter. Why don¡¯t you join me in the live stream? Be an instant hit and earn hundreds of thousands of dors in a year easily.¡±

    In the deep snowy mountains, Sphynx cat sat in a lotus position atop the Door of Evesting Life. His muscles vibrated like a series of flowing pythons.

    He extended his palm and an obvious distortion of air was seening from his palm. A snow explosion was seen on the ground tens of meters away.

    ¡°Interesting...¡±

    Sphynx cat was in a good mood. The master of Door of Evesting Life, Arria interrupted him and said, ¡°Hey, you are a promising supercat. Are you going to work for Zhao Yao for your whole life?¡±

    Sphynx cat was silent and Arria continued, ¡°The universe is huge and Earth¡¯s not the only. From what I know, cats and humans had been living in the Milky Way since ancient times. Supercats lend power to the humans and humans worship the cats. There were many legendary cats and humans throughout history. Zhao Yao pales inparison.¡±

    Arria smiled coldly and said, ¡°Don¡¯t think that Zhao Yao¡¯s reign is going to be long. He destroyed an alien cat and kept an alien cat. Their parents will arrive soon. He can¡¯t survive for long.¡±

    Sphynx cat asked curiously, ¡°Who¡¯s the strongest in the Milky Way?¡±

    ¡°Strongest... It¡¯s not easy to identify...¡± Arria said, ¡°From what I know, in the nearest Short Fur Tribe, there were Short Fur Sages who could stare Zhao Yao to death.¡±

    ¡°Short Fur Sage?¡± Sphynx cat said, ¡°What an awe-inspiring name. Are they humans or cats?¡±

    ¡°They are cats!¡± Arria said, ¡°Only humans would govern cats in a backward. Cats govern humans throughout the Milky Way.¡±

    ...

    ¡°... Look at the flooring, renovation and decoration. I don¡¯t think there¡¯s much business during the day? Only a fool would set up a cafe. This is closing sooner orter...¡±

    In the cafe, Ning Ning was unhappy to hear Sun Jian¡¯sments but she was unable to rebuke him. The customers were indeed few and far.

    Sun Jian felt a tightening around his skull as his vision became dark. He was pped to the floor.

    Arge red palm print appeared on his face. Sun Jian looked in surprise at Zhao Yao who pped him. ¡°You!¡±

    Sun Jian was astonished. Nobody dared to p him unreasonably in the middle of a live stream.

    ¡°Why did you p me?! Are you mad?¡±

    Zhao Yao showed his middle finger and said, ¡°You scolded me, foolish man, how can I not p you?¡±

    Sun Jian was befuddled. ¡°When did I scold you?¡±

    ¡°You are such an idiot. I¡¯m the cafe¡¯s boss.¡± Zhao Yao took out his cell phone and looked at thements andughed. ¡°Hey, your poprity has increased after being pped.¡±

    Sun Jian touched his burning cheeks and became angrier as he thought about it. He stood up to p Zhao Yao.

    Before he could extend his palm, he felt a burning sensation on his cheeks and he stumbled back. He was pped by Zhao Yao again.

    Matcha sprawled beside Elizabeth and meowed, ¡°Elizabeth! This fool tried to kick me! And harass our servant. Beat him to death!¡±

    Elizabeth controlled her illusion and said, ¡°Humph, Matcha¡¯s a fool but we can¡¯t let an outsider bully him.¡±

    Sun Jian covered his cheeks and flew into a temper. He looked at the illusory Zhao Yao as if his eyes were spurning mes. He charged towards Zhao Yao but was kicked to the sofa even before he took two steps.

    Sun Jian tried to stand up and retaliate but felt weakness. His vision swirled as he was thrown out of the cafe.

    Ning Ning looked in shock as she did not expect her boss to be so hot-tempered. She became worried. Would her boss be arrested by the police for assaulting Sun Jian?

    Ning Ning said with concern, ¡°Boss! What shall we do? You have beaten him up. He¡¯ll report to the police! You could be arrested!¡±

    Zhao Yao turned around andy down nonchntly. ¡°Work diligently and don¡¯t let your imagination run wild.¡±

    Ning Ning was upset. How was this letting her imagination run wild? In these times, the winner in a fightnded in jail while the loser rested in the hospital. Her boss had beaten him seriously. Even if he did not need to go to jail, he would still be reprimanded and fined. Why did she not see his hot-temper?

    Ning Ning and Sun Jian did not know that what they perceived were all Elizabeth¡¯s illusions. She had controlled their seven senses.

    Sun Jian wanted to stand up but felt weakness in his legs. He fell again as he looked at the cafe in shock and anger. If Zhao Yao beat him like a small kid, he could possibly be an apostle.

    When Zhao Yao showcased his superpowers to the world¡¯smoners, more people understood the existence of supercats.

    Most of the people had a chance to encounter supercats in their daily lives.

    Apostles and supercats were unable to scare off Sun Jian. He was the son of the local tycoon. The smaller the ce, the more important were the connections. He was able tomit more atrocities here than inrge cities with his influence and money.

    Sun Jian looked viciously at the cafe and thought, ¡°D*mn. So what if you¡¯re an apostle. I¡¯ll get people to destroy your cafe and steal your cats. You can¡¯t fight against me! I¡¯ll destroy you.¡±

    He took up his phone and looked at thements in the live stream. He became even more enraged.

    ¡°Beaten up during live stream! 666!¡±

    ¡°Very fake with the pping yourself part.¡±

    ¡°If the broadcaster falls down again, I¡¯ll reward with a rocket!¡±

    ¡°Is the broadcaster mad?¡±

    Sun Jian shut down the live stream in anger. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Didn¡¯t they see how I was beaten?¡±

    He walked as he made a phone call. ¡°Hello? Brother Shen, I was beaten up at XXXX...¡±

    ...

    In the cafe, Milk Tea smiled as he walked out from the Dimension Portal with Fish Ball and Beef Ball following obediently behind him.

    Beef Ball rubbed Milk Tea¡¯s head and meowed, ¡°Ultra~man!¡±

    Milk Tea looked happily at Beef Ball and said, ¡°Beef Ball¡¯s adorable.¡± He licked Beef Ball¡¯s head. ¡°You have to be obedient today and not disturb your daddy. Understood?¡±

    Beef Ball nodded and spat out his tongue as he looked at Milk Tea.

    Milk Tea threw down a piece of foie gras to Beef Ball and he happily chewed on it.

    ¡°Lie down.¡±

    ¡°Shake hand.¡±

    ¡°Roll.¡±

    ¡°y dead!¡±

    Looking at the motionless Beef Ball, Milk Tea said happily, ¡°Obedient Beef Ball! I¡¯ll reward you with good food.¡± He rewarded Beef Ball with a piece of foie gras.

    Fish Ball looked at his son eating the foie gras and gazed enviously at Milk Tea. ¡°You managed to train my son like an obedient dog. If only I had such an ability.¡±

    Milk Tea said humbly, ¡°It¡¯s not only my doing. As Beef Ball yed with Noodle daily, he started to imitate him.¡±

    Fish Ball said telepathically to Beef Ball, ¡°Son, learn the skills but don¡¯t learn how Noodle eats curry.¡±

    ¡°What? Fish Ball¡¯s here too?¡± Zhao Xue¡¯s voice rang from the Dimension Portal. She was in a singlet, shorts, and slippers and greeted Fish Ball as she went towards the cafe cashier counter.

    Ning Ning said immediately, ¡°Zhao Xue! What are you doing?¡±

    Zhao Xue took out the cash drawer from the counter and frowned. ¡°Taking money. I used up my pocket money so I came here to get some.¡±

    Ning Ning drummed up her courage and stood in front of Zhao Xue. ¡°No! This is the cafe¡¯s money!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s alright, I¡¯m Zhao... I¡¯m the boss¡¯ sister. It¡¯s alright to take some money.¡± Zhao Xue smiled merrily as she shoved Ning Ning aside and took out the drawer. Then she pocketed all the money.

    Matcha rolled his eyes. ¡°Zhao Xue... has be the decadent spendthrift of her family.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Zhao Xue¡¯s ears quivered and turned her head over as she red at Matcha. ¡°Do you have an opinion on the taking of my family¡¯s money?¡±

    Matcha shook his head like a runaway rattle-drum. ¡°No opinion, I have no opinion. Zhao Yao hid some money under the table rests. You may take them too.¡±

    ¡°You are obedient Matcha.¡± Zhao Xue took away all the cash in the cafe and Ning Ning hugged Zhao Xue¡¯s leg as she said, ¡°No! I¡¯ll be scolded by my boss! You can¡¯t take the money!¡±

    A yawn was heard from the reclining chair. Zhao Xue became fearful. ¡°Brother¡¯s awake?¡± She shed and bolted towards the Dimension Portal.

    As she was about to enter, she discovered that the portal vanished.

    She turned her head and looked in embarrassment at Zhao Yao. ¡°Brother...¡±

    Matcha thought, ¡°I said a lot of things in Zhao Yao¡¯s ears but he wouldn¡¯t wake up. When the money¡¯s missing, he wakes up immediately. Money¡¯s indeed important to him.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Zhao Xue and extended his palm. ¡°Surrender the money.¡±

    Zhao Xue smiled foolishly. ¡°Ah? What?¡±

    ¡°Surender the money.¡± Zhao Yao shed and activated Time Freeze to get back the money.

    Seeing Zhao Yao put back the money into the drawer, Zhao Xue hugged Zhao Yao¡¯s leg and pleaded, ¡°Brother! I¡¯ve no money! I¡¯ve no money for dinner! Please pity your sister!¡±

    ¡°Tsk.¡± Zhao Yao looked in disdain at his sister. ¡°Want to earn some money? Work in my cafe.¡±

    Zhao Xue felt a shiver running down her spine and she backed off ten meters. ¡°I don¡¯t want to work for you. Only a fool will work for you!¡±

    Ning Ning was speechless again.

    Zhao Xue rolled her eyeballs and said, ¡°How about this? Lend me the money. Once I make money, I¡¯ll repay you.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked disinterested as hey on the chair and said, ¡°I¡¯m not lending you any money.¡±

    ¡°D*mn.¡± Zhao Xue turned her head and thought, ¡°He has so much money but is unwilling to give a little to his sister. What a miser.¡±

    Seeing Ning Ning gloating over her misfortune, Zhao Xue said, ¡°What¡¯re you smiling about? He¡¯s unwilling to lend money to his sister, do you think he¡¯ll give you a raise? He¡¯ll squeeze you dry.¡±

    Ning Ning was speechless again.

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and said reluctantly, ¡°Zhao Xue, what are you going to do next?¡±

    Zhao Xue said, ¡°I intend to go eat a Japanese buffet after taking the money. Are you treating me?¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned as Zhao Xue said, ¡°Yes, the air cleaning machine at Cat Ind¡¯s broken and the filter has to be changed. The milk tea in the fridge had to be replenished...¡±

    Zhao Xue spoke as she carried Elizabeth and cuddled her.

    ¡°What a sister.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyelids jumped as he said, ¡°Aren¡¯t you 25 years old? Isn¡¯t time to work and contribute to the family?¡±

    ¡°Work...¡± Zhao Xue caressed the belly of Elizabeth as she struggled to free herself. Zhao Xue pinched Elizabeth and she showed the whites of her eyes as she convulsed andy in Zhao Xue¡¯s arms, unable to stop Zhao Xue from caressing her belly.

    Zhao Xue pondered and said, ¡°Actually, I have work.¡±

    ¡°Oh? What¡¯s the work?¡± Everyone looked astonished at Zhao Xue who was drinking milk tea and yingputer games all day at home.

    ¡°I¡¯m the National Security Special Assistant,¡± Zhao Xue said proudly, ¡°My workce is my home. My work is to stay at home, do nothing and receive twenty thousand dors of sry.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°That¡¯s not work. They are giving me face by taking care of you! You are a grown up and still idling at home. Go out and find work to support yourself.¡±

    Zhao Xue sighed reluctantly and buried her head in Elizabeth¡¯s stomach.

    ¡°Boss, is Zhao Xue here?¡± Bai Quan walked out from the Dimension Portal and smiled as he greeted everyone.

    Zhao Yao said in surprise, ¡°Bai Quan? Why are you here? Isn¡¯t Cat Wondend Street busy?¡±

    ¡°We¡¯re here too!¡± Dust Ball, Red Packet, Cannon walked out of the portal. Red Packet and Cannon picked up the catmint and put it in front of Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Zhao Yao! Happy Birthday!¡±

    Zhao Yao was astonished as he nced at the cats. ¡°I almost forgot...¡± He had been working day and night in Closers World and time was elerated. He forgot about the dates in the material realm.

    Matcha ran out and gave a wallet to Zhao Yao. ¡°Happy Birthday Zhao Yao! I got everyone to prepare this surprise for you!¡± He knew that Zhao Yao loved money and got a wallet for him.

    Latte ran over and gave some hell notes to Zhao Yao. ¡°Zhao Yao! Matcha told me you love money! I went to Taobao and bought lots of hell notes for you!¡±

    Matcha pped Latte¡¯s head in fury. ¡°Silly cat!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not silly! My IQ¡¯s 90!¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed heartily as he picked up Latte and caressed his head. ¡°Silly boy, you¡¯re as silly as your dad when he was small.¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao! Happy Birthday!¡± Fish Ball held a furry cat doll and walked forward. ¡°This doll was made using my son¡¯s shed fur.¡±

    Zhao Xue smiled merrily as she took out a long ck pantyhose. ¡°A pantyhose from a beautiful girl for your birthday gift.¡±

    ¡°Get lost.¡± Zhao Yao knocked his head on Zhao Xue¡¯s head and she covered her face as she groaned in agony.

    All the cats on Cat Ind arrived. Xiao Yu, Xiao Ming, ck Panther and Uncle Ho came to congratte Zhao Yao on his birthday. The cafe became crowded but cosy.

    Outside the cafe, Sun Jian brought a few burly guys and pointed at the cafe. He said to a fat guy and said, ¡°Brother Shen, that¡¯s the cafe. Their boss should be an apostle.¡±

    ¡°Apostle?¡± The fat guy smiled coldly. ¡°Aren¡¯t we apostles too?¡±

    ¡°Aren¡¯t we apostles too?¡± The fat guy Brother Shen smiled coldly.

    His henchman said, ¡°When Brother Shen was in Southeast Asia, who didn¡¯t know of the Double Sword Bull? His opponent drove a trailer truck against Brother Shen and I saw him cut the truck in half.¡±

    All his men gazed at Brother Shen. In the era of superpowers, cutting a truck with a sword was still an astonishing feat.

    The fat guy tilted his neck and said, ¡°Brother Shen will help you tten this cafe.¡±

    Brother Shen brought his men into the cafe.

    Sun Jian looked at Brother Shen with admiration. He was the boss of the apostles. Before bing an apostle, he was stabbed three times but he did not flinch. He waited in the queue at the hospital for his treatment.

    After bing an apostle, he fought with more than twenty apostles alone and rode the bicycle to the hospital to wait in line for his treatment.

    He was admired by Sun Jian as the man of men and a super brute.

    After getting the help of Brother Shen, Sun Jian was confident he would win the battle.

    As they strolled in, a gentle breeze blew by and caressed their cheeks and fluttered their clothing.

    Sun Jian felt his adrenaline pumping as if an electric current was passed through his body.

    Aspared to evil scheming and back stabbings, a direct confrontation may not yield the best results but it was the most satisfying.

    Brother Shen kicked open the cafe door and shouted, ¡°Who¡¯s the boss...¡±

    He felt a strong wind blowing towards him before hepleted his sentence.

    Bam!

    A chair broke the sound barrier and smashed into a few pieces as it flew out of the door. It flew past a few of Brother Shen¡¯s men and crashed Sun Jian¡¯s car. The car was badly damaged with numerous dents and holes and looked like a scrapped car.

    Swoosh! A line of fresh blood appeared on Brother Shen¡¯s cheeks where the wind had just blown by.

    They looked at the ttened car and gaped as they looked within the cafe.

    They saw a beautifuldy holding a beer bottle and waving a chair menacingly. She shouted red-faced, ¡°Xiao Ming! Who said I¡¯m a family leech? I¡¯m working every day at home! Do you know that!¡±

    Zhao Xue¡¯s head had cat ears and her back had a tail... She transformed after she got drunk.

    Witnessing Zhao Xue¡¯s terrifying power, Xiao Ming broke out in cold sweat and exined anxiously, ¡°No, no, no... You are mistaken... I¡¯m asking you where you are working. So you¡¯re working at home. It¡¯s good to work at home with lots of freedom... Zhao Yao!!¡±

    He ran over to Zhao Yao for help.

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and said, ¡°Bai Quan, hold her down. Don¡¯t let her drunken stupor make a fool of her.¡±

    Bai Quan smiled as he helped Zhao Xue up. ¡°Xiao Xue, you¡¯ve had too much of a drink!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not done yet!¡± Zhao Xue¡¯s cheeks blushed as she said, ¡°I¡¯ll work tomorrow! I¡¯m going to be an actress! I won¡¯te back until I get to the Oscars!¡± She fell to the ground and snored.

    Bai Quan shook his head as he carried her to the sofa.

    Asleep, Zhao Xue struggled like a drunken tiger. Her fists pounded Bai Quan¡¯s chest like thunder and his face turned pale from the assault.

    After restraining her on the sofa, Zhao Xue turned and transformed into a small cat that snoredfortably as she slept.

    ¡°She¡¯s noisy and doesn¡¯t know how to hold her liquor.¡± Zhao Yao frowned at Zhao Xue and said, ¡°She¡¯s snoring like a pig.¡± He smiled as he took candid pictures of his sister.

    Xiao Ming wiped the cold sweat off his head and looked at the destroyed car outside. He shivered unconsciously. ¡°Zhao Yao¡¯s sister... She¡¯s more scary than Zhao Yao... Too violent.¡±

    ck Panther squatted by the side and held a nutrition bar in his hand. He looked at Latte and Beef Ball and said, ¡°Take this happy bar. We¡¯ll be good brothers and share our food and beer...¡±

    Matcha and Fish Ball hurried over and carried Latte and Beef Ball away as they said, ¡°Latte, stay away from this man.¡±

    ¡°Remember Beef Ball, don¡¯t speak with this man.¡±

    Uncle Ho drank a mouthful of beer and rxed. ¡°It¡¯s rxing~~Zhao Yao... After our meal, do you have anything nned?¡± He winked at Zhao Yao.

    ¡°No, I¡¯m working overtime.¡± Zhao Yao took a few more pictures of Zhao Xue and poked her belly yfully.

    Zhao Yao turned his head to look at Sun Jian, Brother Shen and his men at the entrance. ¡°Did you say... you are going to tten my cafe?¡±

    Sun Jian panicked as Zhao Yao¡¯s gang looked more powerful than what he imagined. He looked at the fat guy and asked softly, ¡°Brother Shen? How¡¯s that? Do you have confidence?¡±

    Brother Shen narrowed his eyes and scrutinized Zhao Xue and Bai Quan. ¡°This woman¡¯sbat rating is at least 3000. That man¡¯s even more scary with abat rating of more than 10000.

    With my intelligence and experience, if I fail, at most I¡¯ll be killed. How did Sun Jian antagonize such powerful apostles?¡±

    Brother Shen said humbly, ¡°Misunderstanding, it¡¯s all a misunderstanding. Apologies for imposing our presence on you, I¡¯lle another day to pay my respects.¡± He turned and left as Sun Jian gaped.

    When Sun Jian turned, he discovered Brother Shen¡¯s henchmen had fled at least 100 meters. Brother Shen scolded, ¡°A bunch of disloyal dogs who didn¡¯t wait for me!¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled and said, ¡°If you stay and work seven days for me, I¡¯ll pretend that nothing happened.¡±

    ¡°Brother... ¡± Brother Shen was about to say something when his eyes became dark. When he recovered, he found himself mopping the floor in the cafe.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why am I mopping the floor?¡± He was stunned and looked at the clock on the wall. ¡°Ten o¡¯clock? We came here at four, five o¡¯clock?¡±

    Brother Shen hugged his head and said with disbelief, ¡°Why? Why didn¡¯t I have memories for the past four to five hours?¡±

    He looked at the clean cafe and thought, ¡°Did I clean this cafe just now?¡±

    As Brother Shen was thinking, a familiar exmation was heard.

    Sun Jian was holding a feces shovel as he asked in astonishment, ¡°Why am I here?¡±

    A few of Brother Shen¡¯s henchmen were wearing aprons and gloves as they stood around in shock.

    Brother Shen said fearfully, ¡°Something¡¯s amiss! This cafe¡¯s amiss!¡±

    He decided to leave with his henchmen but when they stepped out of the cafe, their vision became dark and they lost awareness.

    When Brother Shen recovered, he was kneeling on the ground and mopping the floor. He felt very weird as though he was proficient in mopping.

    ¡°This...¡± He lifted his head to look at time and it was five o¡¯clock in the afternoon.

    ¡°Something¡¯s amiss.¡±

    Brother Shen walked towards the exit and discovered that Sun Jian was also leaving.

    When they stepped out of the door, their eyes became dark and light. When they recovered themselves, they discovered it was five o¡¯clock in the afternoon and they were in the kitchen washing dishes.

    Sun Jian hugged his head and said, ¡°What¡¯s happening? Why am I not able to remember anything? Why are we washing the dishes?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t panic and remain calm.¡± Brother Shen took out his cell phone and said, ¡°Let me make a phone call...¡±

    The result of the phone call was a loss of consciousness and a nk memory. They appeared the second day in the cafe.

    For the following few days when they were awake, they would escape, make phone calls, attack Zhao Yao, attack the supercats... but they would lose their memories and continued their old ways after waking up.

    The thing that shocked them was that they were doing house chores in their lost memories and they were highly proficient in housework. They could even close their eyes while washing the dishes and mopping the floor as though they had been doing it their lifetime.

    These weird feelings were like a second spirit possessing their bodies and making them do the housework.

    Thest time that they woke up, they could only recall the events beforeing to the cafe.

    Time was distorted and memories blurred. Brother Shen was about to go insane.

    A few men who tried to escape were stabbed by the Dragon ying Saber when Zhao Yao yawned and pointed out his finger. They screamed and stopped escaping.

    Brother Shen said in anguish, ¡°How many days have we worked? How many more days do we need to work?¡±

    ¡°This is the first day.¡± Zhao Yao smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m a man of my words. If you work seven days for me, I¡¯ll let you go.¡±

    ¡°First day? But... but it seems like a lifetime.¡±

    ¡°Check your cell phone. There¡¯s the time on it. Would I deceive you?¡±

    Zhao Yao ordered them to work. When they are sleeping, he pulled them into Closers World to do some testing.

    After sleeping, they were taken to the Door of Evesting Life to be killed in order to umte the revival chances.

    ¡°This is killing three birds with one stone.¡± Zhao Yao got Caesar to wipe their memories for the past 24 hours. He said to Ning Ning, ¡°Ning Ning, adjust their cell phone date to the 21st.¡±

    As they knew a lot of Zhao Yao¡¯s secrets, he had to properly erase their memories.

    To Shen Li and his men, they were made to believe it was their first day of work and they fell into an infinite hell of housework.

    Zhao Yao surveyed Sun Jian¡¯s head. ¡°This worker seems to have fallen ill... Why don¡¯t we...¡±

    ¡°Forget it, let them go to the second day to make them happier.¡± Zhao Yao said to Ning Ning, ¡°Adjust the date to the 22nd. Let them work for the second day. Hmm, I won¡¯t need to erase their memory tomorrow.¡±

    Ning Ning listened obediently as her hair stood on end. She was both excited and scared at the same time.

    ¡°Boss is more powerful than what I thought... He¡¯s also more ruthless than what I thought... Perhaps I should stop working here? Wait, did I work here for more than a few years?¡±

    Ning Ning¡¯s smile was uglier than her crying face. ¡°Did I get one month¡¯s pay for working ten years?¡±

    On the second day, Zhao Yao patted Shen Li and Sun Jian¡¯s shoulders and encouraged them, ¡°Congrattions, you are working for the second day. You may leave after six more days.¡±

    Sun Jian and Shen Li were pleasantly surprised. ¡°We have worked for a day.¡±

    ¡°I feel very tired. I realize homework is tiring.¡±

    ¡°Buck up everyone, we¡¯ll leave in six more days.¡±

    Shen Li looked at Zhao Yao with gratitude. ¡°You¡¯re magnanimous. As long as we worked for seven days, you¡¯ll let us go.¡±

    ¡°Yes...¡± Zhao Yao patted their shoulders and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be too calctive and don¡¯t brood over it.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Shen Li looked at his hand and asked puzzled, ¡°Where¡¯s my thumb?¡±

    Bam! Zhao Yao knocked them out and waved his hands as he said, ¡°Call Lucifer. Regenerate them before letting them work.¡±

    After working hard for the past few days, Zhao Yao had designed, developed and tested Closers World for many years. He hadpleted half the work and he wanted Apple to get Closers World 2.0 online.

    Because Closers World was under maintenance for half a year, the previous gamers were starving for the game and they scolded Zhao Yao vehemently. From anticipation, frustration, anger to the final hopelessness, a lot of the gamers were still hoping for Closers World to be online.

    When Closers World 2.0¡¯s release date was announced, the gamers¡¯ world became abuzz with Zhao Yao¡¯s emoticons.

    With Zhao Yao¡¯s promotion, all major media were publicizing Closers World 2.0.

    To publicize and let more people join Closers World 2.0, Zhao Yao created a video channel to introduce the game.

    In the video, Zhao Yao smiled and said, ¡°Greetings everyone, Closers World 2.0 is the new version of Closers World. After trying for three minutes, you¡¯ll fall in love with this game.¡±

    Zhao Yao announced that there were no level upper limit in Closers World 2.0. The top ten gamers with the highest levels would receive one to ten billion US dors per month. There would be no repeat winners so everyone only had a chance to win in the top tendder once.

    There would also be a Closers World 2.0 group tournament. The first prize was ten billion US dors.

    He also introduced Closers World 2.0¡¯s new gamey, maps, dungeons and models.

    Thements exploded with activity after Zhao Yao announced the prize money.

    ¡°He¡¯s asking for my liver and my life.¡±

    ¡°Take this money away and give us the game.¡±

    ¡°Save my child!¡±

    Zhao Yao was pleased when he saw the various news on Closers World 2.0. With the support of multiple governments, the special nature of the dreamscape game, the ability of Closers World 2.0 to rece sleep and the attractive prize money, Zhao Yao could imagine how popr Closers World 2.0 would be.

    Zhao Yao could not help smiling when he thought about the new design settings.

    He developed the game to umte the energy for the evolution of his supercats. So he needed more gamers to spend more time and more attention on him.

    Zhao Yao could imagine the countless livers that he would be harvesting in Closers World 2.0.

    Bam! Zhao Yao looked at the door of the room that was kicked open and frowned. ¡°What¡¯s up Zhao Xue?¡±

    Zhao Xue¡¯s eyes glimmered as she looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Is the prize money for real?¡±

    ¡°Of course it¡¯s real.¡±

    ¡°Why are you paying that much for the prize money?¡±

    ¡°Of course I¡¯m not paying,¡± Zhao Yao said. ¡°Ennd, France, the US, Japan and China are paying 100 billions US dors each every year. It¡¯s a paltry sum for them.¡±

    ¡°That sounds more like protection money.¡± Zhao Xue shook her head and looked at Zhao Yao as she asked with anticipation, ¡°You developed the game, do you have a winning strategy?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve no winning strategy.¡±

    ¡°How could it be? You designed and developed it!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a top-notch game created by me. How could there be a winning strategy?¡±

    Matcha opened the door violently and jumped headlong into Zhao Yao¡¯s arms as he said fawningly, ¡°Zhao Yao! Could you share information about Closers World 2.0 with me?¡±

    Before Zhao Yao replied the door to the room was opened with a bang. Rice Cake jumped on Zhao Yao¡¯s head and shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao! Could I y Closers World 2.0 first?¡±

    ...

    A few dayster on the streets of Paris in Europe.

    A sleeping Chinchi, who was sprawled in the sun, shook his body and opened his eyes. His eyes glimmered with spiritual radiance.

    ¡°I¡¯ve lost contact with Giggle and Tom for a long time. I wonder what¡¯s up with them.¡±The Chinchi shook his head and gazed at the bustling streets and said, ¡°This¡¯s not that primitive.¡±

    He jumped down from the window sill and walked on the street as he immersed himself in local French culture.

    Suddenly, his ears were up and he turned his head to see a young man on a wheelchair. Looking at the games visor on his head, he said bewildered, ¡°This is... the scent of the power of awareness? The natives could not possible know such stuff. Is it the work of Giggle?¡±

    He squinted his eyes and half an hourter, he appeared in a residence with the games visor. Hey on the bed, started the games visor and entered Closers World 2.0.

    Chinchi made use of the games visor and a human¡¯s identity to enter Closers World. He discovered he had be a dark, short and fat guy in the Beginner¡¯s Vige.

    Then he looked at the surrounding yers and found all of them to be dark, short and fat. They looked different from the humans on Earth.

    ¡°Is this a dreamscape?¡± Chinchi sensed the situation in Closers World. ¡°Giggle made an awareness country? This is prohibited.¡±

    An exmation was heard from the surrounding and Chinchi turned his head to see a group of dark shorties gazing at a white clean fat guy walking by.

    ¡°D*mn, this guy¡¯s white.¡±

    ¡°He obtained the pure white skin item.¡±

    ¡°This item¡¯s a treasure of a level 20 dungeon. The game has only gone online for a few days. He¡¯s very strong.¡±

    Chinchi frowned as he could not understand the concept of online gaming. He could not figure out why they were eximing.

    He did not know that in Closers World 2.0¡¯s design, all beginners started as short, fat and ugly. To be beautiful or handsome, they had to conquer dungeons andplete missions to be taller, fairer, more beautiful and handsome.

    ...

    In Zhao Yao¡¯s cafe.

    Zhao Yao was sitting in front of theputer studying the gamespany¡¯s data about Closers World.

    ¡°The online gamers had breached 10 million and it¡¯s still growing.¡± Zhao Yao nodded with satisfaction. ¡°The servers¡¯ capacity have to be expanded. Hehe, with the current trend, it¡¯s a matter of time before the numbers reach one billion.¡±

    He stroked his chin and thought, ¡°Making Closers World as a dreamscape, I wonder if there¡¯s a limit for number of yers? Is it able to sustain a billion people¡¯s awareness?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought that he should find time to research Closers World¡¯s capacity.

    He turned to look at Ning Ning and said, ¡°Hey, you¡¯ve mopped the floor beside me for half an hour. Tell me if you have things to say.¡±

    Ning Ning smiled in embarrassment as her eyes nced at theputer¡¯s date and time. ¡°Good, my time was not changed.¡±

    After witnessing the endless work situation of Sun Jian and hispanions, Ning Ning was suspicious daily as she was worried if she worked for nothing for the day.

    She smiled and said, ¡°Nothing, continue with your work and I¡¯ll continue with the mopping.¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned at Ning Ning as she left. ¡°She¡¯s acting weird and mysterious.¡±

    Matcha jumped into Zhao Yao¡¯s arms and said, ¡°Zhao Yao! Latte¡¯s ying Closers World every day. Could you ban his game¡¯s ount?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Cheese stood beside Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Rice Cake hadn¡¯t gone offline for two days. I¡¯m worried she may die of exhaustion.¡±

    ¡°Two days online?¡± Zhao Yao was surprised. ¡°Did she eat, drink or use the bathroom?¡±

    Seeing Cheese nodding, Zhao Yao said, ¡°That¡¯s alright if she¡¯s eating, drinking and using the bathroom. Closers World¡¯s simr to dreaming and has a restorative effect. She will not die of exhaustion.¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°If they yputer games daily, won¡¯t they waste their talents? If they don¡¯t know anything, what are they going to do when they grow up?¡±

    ¡°Yes, exactly.¡± Cheese said, ¡°Zhao Yao, please help. Ban their game ounts.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head and said, ¡°My gamespany will not ban game ounts without reason.¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°How about duration restrictions? How about half an hour per day for kittens?¡±

    Zhao Yao stroke his chin and thought, ¡°Duration restrictions?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Cheese nodded his head and said, ¡°Cats below five years of age should only be allowed to y for half an hour.¡± He thought, ¡°If Rice Cake could get rid of her inte addiction, she¡¯ll have more time to lick my fur and y with me.¡±

    ¡°Below five years of age?¡± Matcha was unhappy as a lot of his friends were unable to ess Closers World. ¡°Five year old cats are already halfway in their graves and they aren¡¯t adults?¡±

    Matcha looked disdainfully at Cheese. ¡°Rice Cake¡¯s quite old. She¡¯s no longer a kitten.¡±

    ¡°What? What about Rice Cake? She¡¯s still a kitten in my eyes.¡±

    Zhao Yao waved to interrupt both cats. ¡°Enough. Whether it¡¯s human or cats, I won¡¯t set duration restrictions. Both of you may leave.¡±

    After pondering, Zhao Yao added, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll expand the supercats¡¯ academy. They¡¯ll study during the day and y in Closers World during bedtime.¡±

    As Y Academy¡¯s marketing officer, Matcha was surprised. ¡°Ah? Y Academy¡¯s expanding? Why was I not informed?¡±

    ¡°Hmm.¡± Zhao Yao nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯ve decided with severalrge countries to develop supercats¡¯ nine year education. We hope the supercats to start schooling from six months to nine years of age.¡±

    Cheese was speechless.

    Matcha was shocked. ¡°D*mn it. Aren¡¯t we stuck in school for most of our life?¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and said, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s a joy to be in school. Once you are enrolled, you¡¯ll understand. Once you¡¯ve graduated, you¡¯ll be nostalgic of your schooling days.¡±

    Matcha was even more astonished. ¡°We¡¯ve got to go to school?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Nonsense. You¡¯re not above nine years of age. Take a few days to study. You¡¯ll need to take the streaming exams for your level.¡±

    Matcha hugged Zhao Yao¡¯s leg with a pitiful face. ¡°Zhao Yao, please don¡¯t let me go to school. I don¡¯t want to study. I want to keep youpany every day.¡±

    ¡°No.¡±

    Matcha kept his wits. ¡°If we study, what about the business at Cat Wondend Street? We¡¯ve to work.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve thought about that.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°We are pushing for joyful, quality and a reduced load education. You¡¯ll be dismissed from school at 2:30pm and start work at 3pm until 10pm at night.¡±

    ¡°You study in the day and work at night. Your life would be more fulfilling.¡±

    Matcha cried as he said, ¡°D*mn if I¡¯ll be fulfilled.¡±

    Matcha and Cheese left dejectedly. When they returned to the Extradimensional Belly, they saw Uncle Egg smiling merrily as he said mysteriously, ¡°Someone in your home¡¯s addicted to the inte?¡±

    ¡°Not respecting their father and brother?¡±

    ¡°Getting more rebellious and disrespectful?¡±

    Uncle Egg smiled and said, ¡°With more kittens addicted to the inte and gaming, Roly Poly and I started the Inte Addiction Clinic to treat inte addiction. Do you want to try?¡±

    Uncle Egg¡¯s tail glimmered with blue electrical sparks.

    ...

    In the cafe, Diana returned to the material realm from Closers World and shouted at Zhao Yao, ¡°Zhao.... Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao...¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± Zhao Yao looked at the Level 22 Diana and caressed her head as he said, ¡°You¡¯re a Level 22 supercat. Be more mature.¡±

    After Closers World went online, Diana¡¯s level skyrocketed. She was immune to 99% of all physical attacks and her power-up factor was 220%.

    Zhao Yao estimated that the upgrades were not unlimited. After increasing five levels, Diana would reach a new bottleneck.

    Diana shouted loudly, ¡°An alien cat intruded Closers World!¡±

    ¡°What? I have to ban his ount. Wait...¡± Zhao Yao waved his and said, ¡°Don¡¯t act recklessly. I¡¯ll monitor him for 24 hours and look at the situation.¡±

    In Closers World, Zhao Yao floated in the sky above the Beginner¡¯s Vige. Screens appeared before him, showing the situation of Chinchi controlling the dark fat beginners.

    Diana said, ¡°It¡¯s him. After entering Closers World, he triggered the rm system. He possessed a high power of awareness. I hurried over to observe him. In order not to alert him, I didn¡¯t attack or chase him away.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded. ¡°What you did was correct.¡±

    The screens in front of Zhao Yao and the defense system surrounding Closers World were his fruits ofbor after spending several years in design and development.

    Zhao Yao spied on the alien cat and said, ¡°He... doesn¡¯t seem anxious or on guard.¡±

    He frowned and thought of the reason. ¡°He¡¯s not aware of my existence. He might think that the game was created by Giggle. From what they know, there are no humans or cats on this that could defeat them.¡±

    Though Zhao Yao was guessing, looking at the rxed sightseeing expression of the alien cat, he was about 80% sure of his guess.

    ¡°If that¡¯s the case...¡±

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes and decided to enter Closers World and spy on the alien cat¡¯s level in close proximity.

    Zhao Yao hid behind a wall in the Beginner¡¯s Vige and spied on the alien cat carefully. When he saw the Level 20 indicator above the alien cat¡¯s head, he heaved a sigh of relief.

    ¡°As expected, he¡¯s stronger than Giggle so he appears rxed in Closers World.¡± Zhao Yao was pleased. ¡°He¡¯s not as strong as Diana.¡±

    ¡°With Level 22 Diana, in addition to home ground advantage, we should be able to subdue him easily, but...¡±

    Though he was stronger than the alien cat, he understood that to defeat and kill him would alert other alien cats.

    From Tom¡¯s information, the alien cats in the Milky Way were in a state of disunity but the nearby Short Fur Tribe, the faraway Furless and Long Fur Tribe had the ability to destroy Earth.

    Zhao Yao recalled what Tom had told him.

    ...

    Tom said, ¡°The Short Fur Tribe is good with their power of awareness. The superpower of distortion of awareness was passed down by our ancestors. The elites are called Short Fur Sages and could make cats like bathing and humans like eating feces with their thoughts. They could also distort the awareness of tens of thousands of people and make them ves.¡±

    ¡°The Short Fur Sages are not the strongest,¡± Tom said proudly. ¡°The strongest cat in Short Fur Tribe is the Whitehand Grandmaster who is 50 years of age. He¡¯s a dragon-like celestial cat that travels the Milky Way with ease. He controls millions of cat ves¡¯ awareness with his thoughts.¡±

    ¡°The faraway Furless Tribe is good with physical transformation. The furthest tribe is the Long Fur Tribe and it is good with development of strange superpowers...¡±

    ...

    ¡°I¡¯m not a match for the Short Fur Tribe so I can¡¯t alert them. I have to dy time and let my supercats evolve to higher levels.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought about it and got a hold of Tom. He pointed to the alien cat who was sizing up the cat-eared girls in the Beginner¡¯s Vige and asked Tom, ¡°Are you able to identify him?¡±

    Tom was tongue-tied.

    ¡°Trash.¡± Zhao Yao sighed and said, ¡°That¡¯s an alien cat who could be from your tribe. Go and chat with him.¡±

    Seeing Tom¡¯s excitement, Zhao Yao said coldly, ¡°I¡¯ll spy on you 24/7. If you say inappropriate things, I¡¯ll castrate you.¡±

    Tom nodded with fear and said, ¡°I¡¯ll guarantee a good job!¡±

    Tom had been developing Closers World with Zhao Yao for many years and understood his ruthlessness. Moreover, his superpower had reached an unfathomable stage and Closers World was his home. The timid Tom did not dare to resist.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°I¡¯ve given you permission for social media software. I¡¯ll use Wechat tomunicate. I¡¯ll prompt you what to say.¡±

    The alien cat saw a golden-fur cat appearing before him and the golden-fur cat said, ¡°You aren¡¯t from this? Are you from the Short Fur Tribe? I¡¯m Amakusa from the Short Fur Tribe.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s you, Amakusa?¡± The alien cat said. ¡°I¡¯m Strangle. Do you remember me? I licked your buttocks and taught you how to poop and pee when you were young.¡±

    ¡°Uncle Strangle! It¡¯s you!¡± Tom looked excitedly at Strangle but calmed down after considering his situation.

    Strangle chided Tom, ¡°Where¡¯s Giggle? Did he make this Closers World? Did he know that this is prohibited? What are both of you up to?¡±

    Tom lowered his head and mumbled for a while before following Zhao Yao¡¯s prompts and said, ¡°Giggle created this Closers World for our tribe. Other aliens are not able to find us here. With this Closers World, we can upgrade our levels fast.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Strangle wanted to test Tom immediately. When he attacked with his power of awareness, he felt he had knocked into a mountain that was impervious to all attacks.

    Strangle was surprised. ¡°Is he able to use Closers World to umte power of awareness with ease?¡±

    Tom said, ¡°Giggle and I did it for our tribe. If you¡¯re willing, we can use Closers World to increase your power of awareness.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Strangle¡¯s eyes lit up.

    Zhao Yao sent Tom a short prompt via Wechat.

    Tom followed the prompting and said, ¡°Uncle, Closers World was created ording to the natives¡¯ games. If you follow their rules and attract their attention, you¡¯ll absorb their mental energy and increase our power of awareness.¡±

    ¡°Why... don¡¯t you try?¡±

    ¡°Okay,¡± Strangle said. ¡°How do I do it?¡±

    Tom said, ¡°Hmm, you have to create a new avatar like mine.¡± He pointed to his golden-fur avatar.

    After Zhao Yao exposed the existence of supercats, thoughmoners seldom encountered supercats but supercats were able to live their lives in the open.

    The nine year education and work opportunities both in private and civil service were to allow the smooth integration of supercats into human society.

    The goal of Closers World was to allow everyone on Earth to y, including supercats.

    To attract supercats to y, Zhao Yao specifically created cat avatars.

    Strangle created a new avatar and became a bald and ugly native cat in the Beginner¡¯s Vige.

    Strangle looked at his avatar with disgust and looked at Tom¡¯s golden fur as he asked, ¡°Why did I be ugly? Why is your fur luminous?¡±

    Tom said, ¡°In Closers World, to attract more attention, the yer has to be stronger and more handsome.¡± He pointed to a Ragdoll cat and said, ¡°You can be stronger and more handsome bypleting missions. Later, you can also conquer dungeons.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s troublesome,¡± Strangle said impatiently. ¡°Didn¡¯t you create this dreamscape? Why don¡¯t you change the settings in the dreamscape? Why the trouble?¡±

    Strangle only wanted his power to increase but he did not want toplete missions and conquer dungeons.

    ¡°The collective dreamscape became stronger and it gathered the countless thoughts of the natives. Even we are unable to make changes.¡± Tom managed to coax Strangle to try out the game.

    Tom brought Strangle to an NPC and Strangle nodded at the Ragdoll cat NPC. ¡°This cat is beautiful.¡±

    Supercats yers got to see Ragdoll cats as beginner NPCs while human yers got to see cat-eared girl NPCs.

    With Tom¡¯s guidance, Stranglepleted his first beginner¡¯s mission. His body shed with golden rays and he was upgraded a level. He also obtained a beginner¡¯s gift.

    Strangle said with amazement, ¡°I feel... I¡¯ve grown stronger? Have my power and speed been upgraded?¡±

    Feeling the changes after the upgrade, Strangle tilted his head and said, ¡°I like this feeling.¡±

    He took out the beginner¡¯s gift and asked curiously, ¡°What¡¯s this?¡±

    Tom exined, ¡°This is your beginner¡¯s gift. From now on, every level up entitles you to open the box once to obtain items from it.¡±

    Strangle opened his gift box and it vanished. A golden voucher appeared in front of his chest.

    ¡°What¡¯s this?¡±

    Tom said, ¡°This is the beginner¡¯s first gift which is a lottery draw. If you call for the yer¡¯s panel and choose lottery, you¡¯ll be able to draw from the lottery.¡±

    ¡°Lottery draw?¡± Strangle followed Tom¡¯s instruction and saw arge pool appear before him. There were various equipment, skins and pets in the pool and the lottery draw indicator showed one chance for lottery.

    Under Tom¡¯s guidance, Strangle activated the lottery draw. The pool spun wildly and a faded card appeared.

    Tom studied the card and sighed. ¡°Hmm, it¡¯s N card skin with orange fur.¡±

    ¡°N card skin?¡± Strangle was bewildered and changed to N card skin with Tom¡¯s help.

    Strangle¡¯s body changed from bald and untidy fur to an orange cat.

    Strangle looked curiously at his body¡¯s changes and felt better about his new image.

    Strangle felt pleasure after the lottery draw and the changing of his skin.

    Tom noticed Strangle was silent and was worried that he was unhappy. Tom said, ¡°If you don¡¯t like the orange fur, there are more fur colors, eye color, paw pad colors, tail lengths, wings, head halos and other luminous items in the future.¡±

    Tom knew that the orange skin was the lowest caste level of supercats in the Milky Way, hence it was not popr.

    Strangle tilted his head and asked curiously, ¡°How do I get those items?¡±

    ¡°Level upgrades,pleting missions and conquering dungeons...¡±

    ¡°I¡¯d like to go straight to lottery draws.¡± Strangle interrupted Tom and asked, ¡°How could I have another lottery draw?¡±

    ¡°The reward for thepletion of a mission is a lottery draw. If you have a level upgrade, the gift box may reward you with a lottery draw.¡±

    Strangle asked, ¡°Where do Iplete missions next? Could I level up?¡± After his pleasant experience, Strangle wanted to level up and have another lottery draw.

    Seeing Strangleplete the beginner¡¯s tutorial missions step by step, Zhao Yao heaved in relief. ¡°I don¡¯t see any problems. I¡¯ll let Tom handle Strangle and dy for time.¡±

    Zhao Yao arranged for Diana to continuing surveince on Strangle and Tom while he returned to the material realm. He wanted to boost Closers World 2.0 and let it be even more popr.

    Zhao Yao made a phone call to Uncle Ho. ¡°Uncle Ho, have you contacted the people I requested for?¡±

    Uncle Ho smiled and said, ¡°Hmm, Hui, Gu and Xiao Chun have agreed together with other celebrities.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded with satisfaction and asked, ¡°What... what about that person? Did he agree?¡±

    Uncle Ho smiled wryly as he replied, ¡°You are forcing me to get rejected.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t say that. Even a sentence from him is enough,¡± Zhao Yao said unhappily. ¡°The American President has agreed and will live stream their gaming in Closers World. You¡¯re not getting approval from your side?¡±

    Uncle Ho¡¯s face was full of sweat as he said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll try again.¡±

    Zhao Yao called Ennd, France, the United States, Russia, India, Japan and Korea to firm up the details of his publicity campaign.

    ...

    In Ennd, Durant said, ¡°It¡¯s Zhao Yao¡¯s phone call. He requested for more than a hundred celebrities, thirty inte celebrities and more than twenty political and business figures to help publicize his game.¡±

    An elder said, ¡°Zhao Yao¡¯s getting out of hand. Did you agree to his requests?¡±

    Durant shrugged his shoulders and said, ¡°Everyone¡¯s familiar with his information. He¡¯s vengeful, petty, greedy andpletelycks principles. If we don¡¯t agree...¡±

    Another elder asked, ¡°What will he do?¡±

    Durant said, ¡°He¡¯ll do anything like flooding London with feces and urine or live stream the feeding of the Prime Minister with feces.¡±

    The elder covered his head and said, ¡°Okay, agree to his terms. There¡¯s no negotiation with him.¡±

    Another elder shook his head. ¡°Humph, what¡¯s this? A feces ckmail?¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°With my influence, if I¡¯m not destroying Earth, all requests would be met.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m only requesting a group of celebrities, inte celebrities and famous elites to help promote Closers World.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s cell phone rang. ¡°Hello? Xiao Jin? You want to help me advertise? It¡¯s not necessary. The people on your side don¡¯t have inte, what¡¯s the use of advertisements? With your resources, improve the inte infrastructure of your home and let everyone get on the inte and y Closers World.¡±

    After hanging up, the cell phone rang again and another person wanted to help Zhao Yao with his advertising campaign.

    A few dayster, a new round of publicity for Closers World started with a bang.

    Everyone discovered a lot of famous people were ying Closers World on social media and television.

    Some unknown figures stood in front of the television camera and told everyone about their gaming experience in Closers World.

    The publicity of Closers World became very intense. Whether the famous people were ying Closers World or faking it, they caused a lot of people to y the game on an impulse.

    Within a few days, a few million people created their avatars in Closers World.

    With more gamers in Closers World, the progress bar in Zhao Yao¡¯s BOOK elerated and Diana was upgraded to Level 23. Though the progress was slowed after upgrading, the explosion in gamers made the evolution progress elerate again.

    With the strengthening of his power base, Zhao Yao intended to find out more about the Furless Tribe.

    ¡°I¡¯m ying Closers World 2.0 and it¡¯s a fun, healthy, and wholesome game. Tonight at eight o¡¯clock, if you¡¯re game, join me.¡±

    Puff!

    After looking at the video, Zhao Xue spurted out the milk tea in her mouth and coughed violently.

    Zhao Yao walked over silently. Zhao Xue pointed at the person in the television and stammered, ¡°He... he... he, he, he... he¡¯s ying Closers World?¡±

    ¡°Not possible. I only asked him to make an advertisement for me.¡± Zhao Yao hesitated and said, ¡°No, he essed Closers World during bedtime but he didn¡¯t y. He only made use of Closers World to save on sleeping time.¡±

    Zhao Xue looked astonished at Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao was pleased and said, ¡°What¡¯s the most important job in society? Being a good human. I¡¯m of good character with integrity so I know a lot of people. Do you understand?¡±

    Zhao Xue rolled her eyes as she did not believe a word of his.

    Milk Tea came over with a box of tissues above his head. ¡°Zhao Xue, why did you vomit? Is the milk tea terrible? Please wipe yourself.¡±

    Seeing Zhao Xue take a piece of tissue, Milk Tea put down the tissue and took out a piece of tissue to clean the floor stains.

    Zhao Yao said dly, ¡°Milk Tea, you don¡¯t have to do this. Zhao Xue, clean up your own mess.¡±

    Milk Tea said, ¡°It¡¯s alright, I¡¯ll do some work. Otherwise I¡¯ll feel useless.¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled and squatted down as he caressed Milk Tea¡¯s head. ¡°How¡¯s school? Are you used to it?¡±

    Milk Tea said, ¡°Hmm, next week¡¯s formal ss. I had a streaming examination yesterday. I streamed to Level 5.¡±

    ¡°Oh, not bad. Keep it up.¡± Zhao Yao looked at Matcha, who was sprawled on the sofa and asked, ¡°Matcha, what about you?¡±

    Matcha said softly, ¡°Level 3...¡± He looked astonished at Milk Tea and thought, ¡°Milk Tea¡¯s at Level 5? I¡¯m only at Level 3. School¡¯s not for me.¡±

    ¡°Yes, what about Latte?¡± Zhao Yao asked, ¡°He¡¯s weaker in intelligence. Is he coping well?¡±

    Latte jumped onto the window sill and bounced as he ran towards Zhao Yao. He said happily, ¡°Zhao Yao, don¡¯t worry, I don¡¯t need to study.¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t go to the examination.¡± Latte was pleased as he said, ¡°If I don¡¯t go to the examination, I won¡¯t need to go to school.¡±

    ¡°Incorrect.¡± Zhao Yao sighed and caressed Latte¡¯s head. ¡°Silly kid. If you don¡¯t take the examination, you¡¯ll start from Level 1.¡±

    Latte was surprised and asked, ¡°I have to go to school?¡±

    Zhao Yao massaged Latte¡¯s head and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the Level 1 cats are silly like you. You¡¯ll have fun with them.¡±

    Latte avoided Zhao Yao¡¯s palm and said angrily, ¡°I¡¯m not silly. My IQ¡¯s 90! I tested it on the inte!¡± Latte left dejectedly.

    He recalled Beef Ball¡¯s words. Fish Ball told Beef Ball that elementary school was used to by adults to torture small kids. The kids had to do homework until midnight. If they could not finish, they let their cats do the homework.

    ¡°Don¡¯t I have to do homework until midnight?¡±

    Thinking of his bleak future, Latte became depressed and pondered how to skip school.

    Zhao Yao ate his breakfast at home and returned to the cafe. He closed his eyes and his awareness flowed into Closers World.

    He focused his mind and various data appeared before him.

    ¡°The number of yers has reached 20 million. Very good.¡± He looked at the progress bar in the Book. Diana should be able to upgrade to Level 24.

    After pondering, Zhao Yao decided to visit the alien cats¡¯ after Diana reached Level 24. He wanted to take a look instead of passively waiting on Earth.

    The situation on Earth was good. Closers World was developing steadily, all the countries were peaceful, the supercats were progressing in their lives. Even if Zhao Yao was missing from Earth, it would not create problems.

    From Tom¡¯s information, the alien cats traveled in the Awareness Dimension and their awareness descended upon Earth.

    Since they could travel here, Zhao Yao could also travel to them.

    With Diana¡¯s ability, Zhao Yao was able to bring his body over and then set up a Dimension Portal. This would establish a permanent long distance link and he was able to bring supercats who were unable to travel in the Awareness Dimension to travel with him.

    Soon it was dark. Zhao Yao exhaled gently. He made sure Tom and Strangle were not creating problems and Diana was still spying on them.

    He examined his Book and Diana had upgraded to Level 24. Her progress was slowed down once again.

    ¡°Then... Let¡¯s begin...¡±

    Zhao Yao vanished into the thin air as he entered the Awareness Dimension.

    He traveled ording to Tom¡¯s instruction. Aspared to the speed in the material realm, traveling in the Awareness Dimension was much faster. It was a short while before Zhao Yao came out of the Awareness Dimension and arrived at a strange in.

    Four moons were hanging up in the sky. It was no longer Earth.

    Zhao Yao took in a deep breath and found nothing amiss. He extended his arms and the weight was simr to Earth. This was a suitable for human¡¯s existence.

    ¡°ording to Tom, this is Short Fur Tribe¡¯s home.¡±

    Zhao Yao sized up the environment. ¡°Though the Short Fur Tribe governed severals, their numbers were less than humans or cats. As a life form that was imbued with power of awareness upon birth, their reproduction level was far lower than supercats on Earth.¡±

    ¡°Hopefully Doomsday hasn¡¯t solved their reproduction problem.¡±

    ¡°There should be plentiful of aliens on this.¡±

    Zhao Yao pondered and used the Extradimensional Belly superpower to set up a Dimension Portal.

    As he stepped into the Dimension Portal, he saw Uncle Egg extend his electrified paw. Rice Cake, who was tied to a cat dwelling, screamed pitifully. Cheese was at the side looking very worried.

    Uncle Egg said, ¡°Don¡¯t scream pitifully. I haven¡¯t started yet.¡±

    Rice Cake said angrily, ¡°I researched this on the inte. It¡¯s going to be painful.¡±

    Cheese stood at the side and said, ¡°Rice Cake, it¡¯s for your own good. We have to treat your inte addiction.¡±

    Rice Cake said, ¡°Ooooooooo! Cheese! I hate you!¡±

    Cheese covered his chest as though he was stabbed and fell to the ground.

    Roly Poly smiled merrily and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry Cheese, I¡¯ll console her. It¡¯s going to be alright.¡± He stroked Rice Cake¡¯s head and thought, ¡°Can you feel it? Rice Cake¡¯s superpower DNA.¡±

    Project X said, ¡°Hmm, continue pressing and don¡¯t release your paw.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the cats treating their inte addiction and rolled his eyes. He released Rice Cake¡¯s ropes and warned, ¡°It¡¯s good to cut back on gaming but don¡¯t use electricity for treatment. Do you understand?¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao¡¯s here!¡±

    The cats were shocked and they fled in all directions.

    Zhao Yao shook his head and returned to the alien. He had set up a Dimension Portal on the alien and he could bring himself, cats and humans to travel between the twos.

    After confirming that there was no problem with the Dimension Portal, he chose a direction and started running at high speed.

    He wanted to find the inhabitants of this alien to find out from them more about the Short Fur Tribe. He wanted to see with his own eyes the levels of the powerful cats of the Short Fur Tribe.

    Zhao Yao ran at full speed and the surrounding scenery became a blur. He was like a streak of ck lightning cutting through the air, leaving a trail of after-images behind him.

    Zhao Yao recalled what Tom had told him regarding the Short Fur Tribe on this.

    Like the cats on Earth, the supercats of the Short Fur Tribe were lone rangers and did not like living together. The cats on this carved out their own territories. When their kittens were grown up, they would be chased out to lead independent lives.

    On these territories, the supercats ruled various humans. A portion of the humans borrowed superpowers from the supercats to rule other humans and develop viges and cities. They were called cat ves.

    Zhao Yao understood that it was naive to think that he could lead sneak attacks on these supercat lone rangers from the Short Fur Tribe.

    As the supercats had control of the power of awareness, they could travel to any part of the in a blink of an eye and support each other.

    Because of the existence of the Awareness Dimension, regardless of the distance, they could meet in dreams tomunicate and seek help.

    The Awareness Dimension was their inte.

    As Zhao Yao pondered, he stepped hard and anchored himself on the ground with a loud bang as he gazed at the distant rising smoke.

    ¡°Are they humans?¡±

    He moved again but it was not the usual obvious charge but a stealthy and careful intrusion of the unknown territory.

    Zhao Yao saw a primitive vige that was decorated with teeth of wild beasts. The humans looked dark and strong.

    ¡°Is this a human¡¯s dwelling ce? It seems that there are no supercats here. It should be one of the viges of a supercat.¡±

    Zhao Yao decided not to show himself. He spat out Roly Poly.

    Roly Poly was shocked and squeezed his buttocks. Broken pieces of cat feces fell to the ground as he said in astonishment, ¡°Zhao Yao, what are you doing?¡± I¡¯m pooing!¡±

    Zhao Yao grabbed Roly Poly¡¯s head and said, ¡°I need invisibility. Get ready.¡±

    Roly Poly was dragged to the nearby vige and he said furiously, ¡°I haven¡¯t finished pooing.¡±

    ¡°Poo as we go. Nobody can see us anyway.¡±

    The invisible Zhao Yao walked into the vige and he found that most of the humans were female. The men were most likely out working or hunting. He approached an elder.

    ¡°Sleep Medusa¡ªSleep.¡±

    ¡°Nightmare Lord¡ªDream.¡±

    With the switching of two superpowers, Zhao Yao went into the dream of the elder.

    More than a minuteter, he returned to the material realm. He was in the dream with the elder for a few months. Not only did Zhao Yao learn the native¡¯s tongue, he also obtained information on the vige and the surrounding areas.

    ¡°Caesar.¡± Zhao Yao spat out Caesar and pointed at the elder as he said, ¡°Erase her memories for the past three minutes.¡±

    Seeing Caesar doing his work, Zhao Yao squeezed his chin as he thought, ¡°This is called Cat¡¯s Tail Vige and it¡¯s in the territory of the handsome cat Wheatley. Wheatley had dozens of viges like this one and he lives in the nearby Frosted Teeth City.¡±

    Roly Poly asked curiously, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, is this the alien? What¡¯s the situation?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked grim as he said, ¡°This is called Satol by the natives.¡±

    ¡°On Satol, the cats are rulers. Humans who borrow superpowers and worship cats are called ves, which are categorized into levels ranging from one to nine stars.¡±

    ¡°On this, humans are proud to be cat ves.¡±

    Roly Poly stared wide-eyed as he said excitedly, ¡°Really?¡±

    Project X was excited in Roly Poly¡¯s awareness. ¡°This is a good ce!¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned at the excited Roly Poly and asked, ¡°You are happy? You like this ce?¡±

    Roly Poly shook his head like a rattle-drum. ¡°No, no. Why would I like this ce? Earth¡¯s better.¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at Roly Poly and ignored him as he considered his next move.

    ¡°Using my lone power to defeat the Short Fur Tribe is too far stretched.¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought, ¡°Perhaps I could try disintegrating it from within or even dominate the tribe from within.¡±

    Zhao Yao understood that with his current strength, a direct confrontation with Short Fur Tribe was not possible. Even if they sent out 300 Toms, he was not a match for them.

    Moreover, there were more than 300 supercats and the strongest of them was not as simple as Tom.

    Pondering over the information gained from the elder, Zhao Yao thought, ¡°This is Wheatley¡¯s territory. They said that he was in Frosted Teeth City recruiting cat ves. I can sneak in this way.¡±

    A few minutester, Zhao Yao changed into the vige costume and arrived at the Frosted Teeth City¡¯s entrance.

    The city did not have walls. To the inhabitants of Satol, cat ves and supercats are the deciding factor in a conflict. Normal humans are not useful in this case.

    Zhao Yao walked in the bustling streets of the Frosted Teeth City and surveyed the surrounding short houses. The appearance looked much like the small towns on Earth and the poption was muchrger than what he expected.

    Zhao Yao used the native tongue to ask a passer-by, ¡°Where can I sign up to be a cat ve?¡±

    After asking around, Zhao Yao came to arge imposing hall, which was the Cat ve Hall. It was a ce for the cat ves to train and rest while not serving the supercats.

    Zhao Yao looked at the most imposing building in Frosted Teeth City with mixed feelings.

    ¡°D*mn... I traveled the Milky Way from a faraway... to be a cat ve... d*mn...¡±

    A burly man in white robe walked out and looked at Zhao Yao as he asked, ¡°Who are you? What are you doing here?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°I want to be a cat... cat ve.¡±

    The burly man scrutinized Zhao Yao critically and said, ¡°Not everyone can be a cat ve. Only a person with great potential, meticulous nature and utmost loyalty to the cat is allowed to be one. Are you one of them?¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned and said reluctantly, ¡°I am one of them.¡±

    The burly man nodded and said, ¡°Come in for the test. If you are sure you have the potential, you may be a cat ve apprentice. After the test by Lord Wheatley, you may be a real cat ve.¡±

    The burly man brought Zhao Yao to a small room in the great hall. On the table was a piece of shiny ck scarf.

    The burly man exined, ¡°This is the Sacred Scarf weaved from the fur sheddings of Lord Wheatley. It contains Lord Wheatley¡¯s residual power of awareness. If you are able to receive it, it will prove that you have the potential of a cat ve. The more you receive, the higher your potential.¡±

    ¡°Oh, that¡¯s how...¡± Zhao Yao thought. ¡°The previous elder knew that aspiring cat ves had to register in the Frosted Teeth City but did not know the detailed procedures. The cat ve potential should be simr to the Earth¡¯s apostle potential. I don¡¯t think I have this potential. No, the Earth¡¯s apostles could not directly receive power of awareness or detect the presence of power of awareness. This should be the exclusive potential of the Short Fur Tribe¡¯s human...¡±

    ¡°Anyway, I¡¯ll have a try.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°What should I do?¡±

    ¡°Put your hand on it. The Sacred Scarf will have a different reaction for different receptions of the power of awareness.¡±

    Zhao Yao pressed his palm on the scarf.

    The scarf did not move an inch and there was no noticeable effect.

    The burly man shook his head and said, ¡°It¡¯s a pity, you do not have the potential of a cat ve. You are destined to be a normal human.¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned as he did not like the result. His eyes glimmered as his power of awareness flowed into the scarf.

    The Sacred Scarf pped violently as if it detected intrusion of other power of awareness and wanted to expel Zhao Yao¡¯s energy.

    The burly man¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Oh? The power of awareness came out from the scarf? You do have potential after all.¡±

    Momentster, he shook his head. ¡°The Sacred Scarf only moved a little and it meant that the power of awareness that flowed out was little. Though you have potential but it¡¯s very little.¡±

    He lifted his head and looked at Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°Guang Yu.¡±

    The burly man nodded and said, ¡°Guang Yu, follow me. I¡¯ll tell you how to train.¡±

    Zhao Yao felt like it was simr to a school. He had to attend sses and training in the day and could go home at night. Breakfast and lunch were provided free of charge.

    ¡°You can call me ck Dune. I¡¯m the Cat ve Hall¡¯s trainer,¡± The burly man said. ¡°You¡¯ll begin ss tomorrow and learn the basic skills of a cat ve like taking care of cats,bing fur, preparing cat meals and control of the power of awareness...¡±

    The burly man did not guard against Zhao Yao as all the power was concentrated in the cats. All rebellions were meaningless. After being controlled by the Short Fur Tribe, no rebellion could possibly happen.

    When Zhao Yao heard the training program, he rolled his eyes in his heart. But when ck Dune mentioned the control of power of awareness, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up.

    The control of the power of awareness was one of the goals of Zhao Yao. Compared to the Short Fur Tribe, Zhao Yao¡¯s understanding was simple and inferior. For example, Giggle¡¯s creation of Closers World was a use of the power of awareness. Zhao Yao spent tens of years using Diana¡¯s superpower to change the contents but he was unable to change the structure of Closers World.

    As for the battle tactics using power of awareness, Zhao Yao was only half-schooled in the use of awareness. He depended on pure brute force of using high level power of awareness to defeat Giggle and Tom.

    Sneaking into the Cat ve Hall was easier than what Zhao Yao expected. After being informed of the ss schedule, he left very pleased with himself.

    Seeing Zhao Yao leave, the other trainer smiled and asked curiously, ¡°Another new recruit? How¡¯s his potential?¡±

    ck Dune shook his head. ¡°His attitude isn¡¯t bad but with his potential, I think he¡¯s destined to clean feces.¡±

    As his progress on Satol was good, Zhao Yao returned to his cafe on Earth happily. He received news from Diana that Closers World was encountering instances of being stuck.

    ¡± Closers World¡¯s stuck?¡± Zhao Yao went to the official forums and saw lots ofints about dropped lines, the game being stuck and long dys.

    Zhao Yao messaged Diana, ¡°When did it happen?¡±

    ¡°After the online yers breached 20 million, the instances of the game being stuck became more serious as if Closers World could not sustain the load.¡± Diana said, ¡°Strangle, whom Tom was apanying, was not willing to y after the game was stuck. What shall we do?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought about it but did not panic. He calmly issued orders. ¡°Stop all new registrations and let Apple restrict the number of people online. If the numbers reach more than 20 million, form a queue... hmm, say it¡¯s from me.¡±

    After the measures were taken, the inte was abuzz with moreints.

    ¡°Despotic rules!¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao¡¯s loaded, why can¡¯t he get more servers? He¡¯s a scrooge!¡±

    ¡°My queue number is in the tens of thousands. Please Master Zhao, add more servers.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at thements and nodded with satisfaction as he created another wave of attention. He pointed at one of the IDs and said, ¡°Ban the ID of the yer who called me a scrooge.¡±

    Although he got a wave of attention after restricting the number of yers, Closers World¡¯s stopped expanding in number. It was not good for evolution progress.

    He looked at the progress bar. After Diana reached Level 24, her progress slowed down. With the current 20 million yers, she required ten days to reach Level 25. After that, it would require a month to upgrade.

    Zhao Yao had no idea why Closers World would get stuck at 20 million yers. He had no idea how to increase the yer limitation of Closers World.

    He spent most of his time on improving the contents, however, Zhao Yao did not know the low level structure and optimization of Closers World.

    After consideration, Zhao Yao asked Tom but he did not know.

    Tom said pitifully, ¡°I¡¯m only a kitten. The awareness country¡¯s a deep subject, I haven¡¯t learned about it.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head. He asked Tom a few times but he did not know the principles or usage of Closers World.

    Zhao Yao thought that he had to go to the Cat ve Hall to see if he could learn something relevant.

    ¡°Okay, go and apany Strangle. Remember, we¡¯re always watching you.¡±

    Tom shrunk his head and ran towards the nearby Strangle, who was sniffing the NPC Ragdoll cat. Strangle stood up and asked, ¡°Tom, let¡¯s go conquer the dungeon. I¡¯m stillcking a paw glove weapon and I couldplete the dungeon mission.¡±

    The next morning, the Extradimensional Belly was abuzz with activity.

    The supercats ran hurriedly to eat breakfast, clean their feet, and wash their faces.

    ¡°Quick! Hurry up!¡± Roly Poly shouted, ¡°This is the first day of school. Nobody¡¯s to bete.¡±

    ¡°Wah!¡± Rice Cake cried as she hugged a scratching board and wailed, ¡°I don¡¯t want to go to school!¡±

    Cheese said, ¡°Let¡¯s go Rice Cake. If Zhao Yao sees you like this, he¡¯s going to be unhappy.¡±

    Rice Cake wailed louder, ¡°Why should kittens go to school?¡±

    Cheese consoled her, ¡°Don¡¯t cry Rice Cake. School¡¯s fun and you¡¯ll get to know other kittens. It¡¯s fun to y together...¡±

    ¡°You kidding me!¡± Rice Cake grabbed onto the scratching board for her life and wailed, ¡°Ooooo! Fish Ball told me yesterday that he rather die than to study in elementary school. He said there¡¯s no ying in school and they serve horrible food!¡±

    ...

    ¡°Fish Ball, what are you doing? Get down immediately!¡±

    ¡°No! If you force me to go to school, I¡¯ll jump down!¡±

    ¡°Schooling¡¯s not that scary...¡±

    ¡°Are you fooling me? I¡¯ve been doing level three to level five homework! You are trying to fool me again?!¡±

    ...

    Uncle Egg came up and looked at Cheese who was biting Rice Cake¡¯s leg and dragging her out. Uncle Egg said, ¡°Enough. Let me handle this.¡±

    Uncle Egg¡¯s paws shed with electrical sparks. He touched Rice Cake lightlyand she convulsed before falling to the ground.

    Uncle Egg curled his ws and said, ¡°Carry her off.¡± Caesar and Lion Head came up and lifted Rice Cake before proceeding to the Dimension Portal.

    Gaia, who was calmly ying his cell phone game at the side, witnessed Rice Cake being electrocuted and brought away.

    Gaia scoffed, ¡°Naive kitten, you thought you wouldn¡¯t need to go to school by hanging onto the scratching board? Silly Rice Cake, you¡¯re too petty.¡±

    Ares said to Gaia, ¡°Gaia, stop ying. Get ready to go to school.¡±

    Gaia sneered and said, ¡°My leg is broken. I can¡¯t go to school.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Ares looked in shock at Gaia.

    Gaia showed his leg that he had purposely broken the night before and said, ¡°The bone¡¯s broken. I¡¯m taking medical leave.¡± He thought, ¡°If I don¡¯t have to study, what¡¯s the deal with breaking my leg. If I don¡¯t have courage, how will I be a professional yer... Oh! What are you doing?¡±

    Ares used the Deflective Field to carry Gaia and said, ¡°Zhao Yao said, as long as you¡¯re able to breathe, you have to study.¡±

    Latte hid in an inte cafe. He looked at the video from inside the Extradimensional Belly and witnessed Gaia being captured to go school. He said proudly, ¡°A group of silly cats with IQs lower than 90. They won¡¯t be able to catch me today.¡±

    Latte intended to say he had a cold and fever due to cat virus so he was unable to go to school.

    When he woke up, he predicted the oue so he abandoned his previous n. Instead, he escaped from the Extradimensional Belly and hid in a nearby inte cafe.

    Latte¡¯s eyes lit up after watching halfway. ¡°Almost time. They¡¯reing, I have to leave.¡±

    The Star Cats Anthony brought along Arthas, Volcano, and the other cats to the Antarctica.

    The Pas cat Lightning secretly took a Red-Eye ne to the Pas country to seek asylum.

    Kun Wu and Dollnded on the moon...

    As the Extradimensional Belly was abuzz with activity, Zhao Yao took two buns and yawned as he walked into the Extradimensional Belly.

    Seeing the busy supercats, Zhao Yao recalled his memory. ¡°Is this the first day of school? Hehe, there will be lots of absentees.¡±

    Zhao Yao understood that with the official exposure of supercats in the public eye, letting the supercats receive education and integrate peacefully into society, studying was an effective method, especially for house cats and stray cats.

    Bai Quan walked reluctantly to Zhao Yao¡¯s side and said, ¡°Boss, only half the supercats went to school. The other half used their superpowers to y truant.¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled as he nodded. The supercats were used to eating and ying daily so it was weird if they went to school obediently.

    He looked at his Book that showed two new missions:

    Mission: Study Power of Awareness

    Mission Objective: Study the uses of the power of awareness and find a way to expand Closers World¡¯s limit

    Reward: 30% of evolution progress

    Mission Penalty: None.

    Mission: Start of School

    Mission Objective: Find and capture all the supercats that yed truant

    Reward: Every supercat captured is worth 500 experience points

    Mission Penalty: None.

    Zhao Yao was pleased with the two new missions, especially studying the power of awareness, which was his most important goal. The icing on the cake was the 30% increment in evolution progress. This was the first mission with evolution progress reward.

    Zhao Yao had to depend on two avenues to increase his power and protect Earth from Short Fur Tribe.

    The first avenue was to develop his catmint business and take arger market share. With the monthly draws, he would be able to obtain powerful items and strengthen his items like the Cat Prince Costume and the Dragon ying Saber.

    The second avenue was to gain experience points and the energy from Closers World to obtain evolution progress so that his supercats could upgrade and boost his power.

    The first avenue had Bai Quan, Uncle Ho, and Dust Ball doing the job while Zhao Yao waited for the end of the month lottery draw.

    The second avenue required him to go to Satol to study the use of power of awareness and the increase of Closers World¡¯s limit for yers so that his supercats could upgrade their levels rapidly.

    Roly Poly heard Bai Quan and Zhao Yao¡¯s conversation and said fawningly, ¡°Zhao Yao! I¡¯ll help you capture them. The Royal Cat Police Force can be tasked to do it.¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at Roly Poly and thought, ¡°The mission requires them to be captured and doesn¡¯t need me to do it. I¡¯ll let Roly Poly try first.¡±

    ¡°Okay, Roly Poly, you¡¯ll be in charge of capturing the supercats that skipped school.¡±

    Roly Poly swung his tail excitedly. After Zhao Yao left, he said to Project X, ¡°Good, we can obtain the superpower DNA while capturing the supercats. Is your method useful? Obtaining a bunch of superpowers is not really useful.¡±

    Project X said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, all your superpower DNA came from me.

    Didn¡¯t Rice Cake¡¯s superpower DNA increase your power and let you go through wall while you were invisible?

    Once we obtain more superpower DNA, I¡¯ll be able to upgrade your invisibility superpower like configuring a super weapon. I¡¯ll integrate all the superpowers together.¡±

    ¡°Think about it. If your superpowerbines with Rice Cake¡¯s vibrating superpower DNA, Elizabeth¡¯s illusion superpower DNA, Diana¡¯s sleeping superpower DNA, Sphynx cat¡¯s training superpower DNA... How powerful will your invisibility superpower be?¡±

    Roly Poly curled up the ends of his lips and could not help smiling. He thought, ¡°Good, we¡¯ll use this chance to collect their superpower DNA.¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao!¡± Sheriff jumped on Zhao Yao¡¯s body and meowed into his ears. ¡°Roly Poly... he said... superpower DNA...¡±

    ¡°Humph, I¡¯m wondering why he¡¯s so enthusiastic today,¡± Zhao Yao thought, ¡°He had been acting mysteriously recently so that¡¯s the reason. When did he start collecting superpower DNA? Who¡¯s he talking to?¡±

    After detecting a mole among the supercats, Zhao Yao assigned Sheriff to read minds to discover the mole.

    Though Roly Poly had been discreet, he was careless today and let Sheriff listen to some important information.

    As Sheriff could only read Roly Poly¡¯s thoughts, he was unable to read Project X¡¯s mind so Zhao Yao was unable to determine who Roly Poly was talking to.

    The Sheriff said, ¡°What shall we do Zhao Yao? Shall we capture Roly Poly?¡±

    Zhao Yao considered for a while and stroked his chin as he said, ¡°The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. I¡¯ll let Roly Poly finish my mission of capturing the supercats, let him umte the superpower DNA and upgrade his superpower. If his superpower is powerful, I¡¯ll contract his ability. Won¡¯t I get to reap the reward of his superpower upgrade?¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled with satisfaction. ¡°I don¡¯t have time to follow him. I have to find a strong candidate who can subdue him.¡±

    Zhao Yao got hold of Zhao Xue, ¡°Zhao Xue, I¡¯ve an important task for you.¡± Zhao Yao was confident that Zhao Xue¡¯s strong constitution, sensitive perception and Sheriff¡¯s mind reading were sufficient to trail and keep Roly Poly under surveince.

    Zhao Xue shook her head and said, ¡°Impossible, I¡¯ll never work for you. Even if I starve to death, I¡¯ll never work for you...¡± Zhao Xue¡¯s opened her eyes widely and gazed at Zhao Yao¡¯s hand.

    His hand was waving a stack of US dors and Zhao Xue¡¯s eyes were glued to the money.

    ¡°This is ten thousand US dors...¡±

    Zhao Xue said feebly, ¡°Do you think I¡¯m easily bribed?¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled and said, ¡°We¡¯re family. Don¡¯t you pretend... These ten thousand US dors...¡± Seeing Zhao Xue¡¯s anticipation, Zhao Yao put the money into his pocket and said, ¡°This is my pocket money for today.¡±

    ¡°Rich Scrooge.¡± Seeing Zhao Xue¡¯s fuming expression, Zhao Yao took out a briefcase and opened it. There were stacks of US dors nicely arranged in it. Zhao Xue¡¯s eyes were green with envy.

    ¡°That much money?¡± Zhao Xue thought about grabbing the money and running but after considering her brother¡¯s prowess, she suppressed her impulse.

    Zhao Xue looked at the money and estimated its value. She said enviously, ¡°You¡¯re rich and awesome.¡±

    ¡°Stop that nonsense.¡± Zhao Yao pointed at the money and said, ¡°Afterpleting the mission, this briefcase of money will belong to you. It¡¯s enough for you to stay at home for a few years. Think about it...¡±

    ¡°Not a word.¡± Zhao Xue gazed at the money and said, ¡°I¡¯ll do it!¡±

    After assigning the task to Zhao Xue, Zhao Yao went into the Dimension Portal and arrived at Satol.

    During his journey, the Cat Prince Costume on Zhao Yao transformed into the alien¡¯s costume.

    The moment he stepped into Frosted Teeth City, he felt an overwhelming and coercive aura and he felt very ufortable.

    ¡°This feeling... whose power of awareness? It¡¯s overwhelming?¡± Zhao Yao looked surprised at the middle of the city and saw the humans kneeling on the ground and bowing their heads in fear.

    In the sky above the middle of the city, a white cat floated in the air. The shocking and coercive aura came from his body.

    ¡°Level 30?!¡± Zhao Yao looked in shock at the figure above his head. ¡°This cat¡¯s very strong.¡±

    Detecting abnormal attention, the white cat gazed at Zhao Yao. A thunderous voice rang in Zhao Yao¡¯s mind.

    ¡°Insolent human, who let you look at me?

    Bang! Zhao Yao¡¯s mind became nk. A brutal power of awareness descended from the sky and overwhelmed him.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s power of awareness resisted but in vain. The distant white cat saw Zhao Yao fall to the ground and shifted his gaze to the pce below as he shouted, ¡°Wheatley! From today onwards, Thunder Hill is part of my territory. Don¡¯t let me detect your people intruding into my territory.¡±

    The white cat vanished into the thin air and left via the Awareness Dimension.

    Zhao Yao opened his eyes as he sat up and looked unwell. ¡°I was made to use Time Distortion¡¯s Revival. This d*mn cat¡¯s power of awareness is overwhelming and special. Fortunately, I didn¡¯t retaliate, otherwise I might have been discovered.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought about retaliation. Even if his power of awareness was inferior, with Time Freeze, he was 70% confident of destroying the white cat¡¯s body.

    He would be exposed so Zhao Yao decided to endure the white cat¡¯s attack.

    Recalling the Level 30 above the white cat, Zhao Yao hurried to Cat ve Hall as he wanted to know the identity of the white cat in the Short Fur Tribe.

    ¡°I¡¯ll teach the white cat a lesson. Just you wait.¡±

    He died once early in the morning and Zhao Yao was feeling vexed. ¡°I¡¯ll capture that cat sooner orter.¡±

    In the Cat ve Hall, Zhao Yao saw many young aspiring cat ves gathering at the training arena.

    ¡°You¡¯ve arrived?¡± ck Dune walked to Zhao Yao and nodded as he said, ¡°Follow me. I¡¯ll show you around Cat ve Hall.¡±

    ck Dune carried a teapot as he walked slowly towards the training arena and surveyed his territory.

    His scrutinizing gaze swept over all the young aspiring cat ves as though they were his prey.

    Zhao Yao followed behind ck Dune as though he was a young cub learning how to hunt.

    At the training arena, the official one-star cat ves, who were Wheatley¡¯s backup cat ves, trained diligently every day for a chance to showcase their skills.

    On the boundary of the training arena were apprentice cat ves who were not yet confirmed by Wheatley. They helped to clean the weapons, sweep the floor and do other chores. They had to wait for the one-star cat ves to finish their training before they could use the training arena like the pecking order of the bald eagles.

    ck Dune pointed to the one-star cat ves who were training their bodies and said, ¡°The first thing a cat ve trains is strength. A qualified cat ve is in charge of taking care of our master cat during battles. To borrow the superpower from our master requires a strong body and an agile mind.

    All the things you do require lots of mental and physical energy so a cat ve has to have a strong body.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked attentively at the training one-star cat ves and thought, ¡°That is good training.¡±

    ck Dune said, ¡°After they have trained their body, they go to the back hall to train their skills. It is out of bounds to apprentice cat ves. After they leave, you¡¯ll train together with the apprentice cat ves and learn how to serve the cat master...¡±

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Trainer, who¡¯s that white cat that appeared in the sky just now?¡±

    ck Dune was glum and said reluctantly, ¡°That¡¯s Lord Ya Xing. He¡¯s Lord Wheatley¡¯s brother. His territory is on the northern side and he was fighting with Lord Wheatley over territories...¡± He looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°These are our master¡¯s affairs. You don¡¯t have to know.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Zhao Yao nodded obediently and remembered Ya Xing and his territory.

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°When can I start learning about the use of the power of awareness?¡±

    ¡°Every afternoon, qualified cat ves will give sses. There is rted information in the library where you can do self-study.¡± ck Dune stopped before continuing, ¡°As you¡¯re an apprentice cat ve, you can only learn the lowest orange level skills.¡±

    Zhao Yao asked curiously, ¡°Orange level skill? Are there categories in the skill level of awareness¡±?

    ck Dune said, ¡°Of course, the orange level¡¯s the weakest, followed by maroon, white, silver, ck and the highest grey level.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°It¡¯s fur color discrimination. They¡¯re looking down on orange cats...¡±

    Zhao Yao remembered the awareness skill and said excitedly, ¡°Where¡¯s the library? I¡¯d like to take a look.¡±

    ck Dune looked suspiciously at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°You haven¡¯t received the power from Lord Wheatley and you don¡¯t have the power of awareness. You won¡¯t be able to learn the awareness skills. Train with the other apprentices. We¡¯ll teach you once the time¡¯s right.¡±

    Zhao Yao felt ck Dune¡¯s suspicion. Though he would have liked to learn he said casually, ¡°Oh.¡±

    Zhao Yao was brought to the apprentice¡¯s group to train their bodies and learn how to take care of supercats.

    ck Dune guided them as he said, ¡°You¡¯re potential cat ves but the road to qualification is fraught with obstacles. Everyone thinks of having their own cat but only one in ten thousand has a chance at fulfilling it.¡±

    ¡°Do you want to have a cat?¡±

    The apprentices said excitedly, ¡°Yes!¡±

    ¡°Do you want to cuddle cat fur? Touch their paw pad?¡±

    That was a symbol for borrowing superpower. The crowd cheered and shouted, ¡°Yes!¡±

    ¡°Then train hard!¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the surrounding cheering apprentices and rolled his eyes in his heart. ¡°Perhaps the cats on this are too few. If they go to Earth, they¡¯ll be overjoyed.¡±

    Zhao Yao trained together patiently with the apprentices. Besides physical training, there were various cuddling of cats, preparing of cat meals and learning about the characteristics of cats.

    Zhao Yao kept a low profile to avoid exposing his strong constitution. In the evening, he followed the apprentices to clean the training arena and left the Cat ve Hall.

    Just as he was leaving, other cat ves walked towards Zhao Yao. The leader was a silver-haired youth who smiled at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Greetings, are you Guang Yu? I¡¯m Blue Moon. We intend to revise and train together after the formal training. Are you interested in joining us?¡±

    ¡°Not interested,¡± Zhao Yao answered casually and left. He could not wait to sneak into the library to learn the awareness skills.

    The sidekick of Blue Moon said, ¡°The new guy¡¯s arrogant.¡±

    Blue Moon smiled and said, ¡°Perhaps he¡¯s shy. He has just be an apprentice, it¡¯s normal to be proud. Didn¡¯t we go through it too?

    Let¡¯s concentrate on our training. To be a qualified cat ve, we have a lot to learn.¡±

    Zhao Yao came to a deste location and activated the Cat Prince Costume¡¯s invisibility. He slipped into the Cat ve Hall and located the library. He avoided the guards and entered thepound.

    ¡°The guards are not strong because their poweres from cats. Hence they are not strict in guarding against people who learn the skills secretly?¡±

    Zhao Yao was caught off guard by the differentnguage used in the library. The elder in his dream did not know how to read, hence Zhao Yao was unable to understand thenguage used in the library.

    He saw a youth reading a book by the book shelves.

    ¡°Is he a cat ve and borrowing a book from the library?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up as he noticed the Level 15 indicator above his head, which was equivalent to a Level 15 supercat.

    ¡°Did he borrow Wheatley¡¯s superpower? Is he a qualified cat ve under Wheatley?¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned. Catherine was only Level 12. If he used dream induction, there was a high chance of failure.

    ¡°Then...¡±

    Pom!

    Zhao Yao retrieved his hand knife as the cat ve fell to the ground unconscious. He used Level 24 Diana¡¯s dream intrusion superpower to enter the cat ve¡¯s dream.

    When Zhao Yao returned to the material realm, he had learned the¡¯snguages.

    He was able to identify the titles of the books on the shelves.

    He found the shelves for awareness skills and took out an orange level book ¡°Focus¡±.

    Zhao Yao studied the entire book meticulously. As he was about to test the contents, the Book showed changes and a message appeared in Zhao Yao¡¯s mind.

    Orange level skill: Focus. It will passively increase power of awareness recovery by 30%. Do you want your supercat to learn?

    Two options appeared which were Level 12 Catherine and Level 24 Diana.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up as he chose Diana.

    Do you want to expend 10000 experience points for Diana to learn Focus?

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Book to have such ability. And I have to spend experience points?¡± Zhao Yao frowned and looked at the panel. Book: Level 8 (71317/100000). He put back the book silently.

    If he had to spend experience points, he was going to be prudent. He intended to find the most powerful skill for his supercat to learn.

    After studying the skill book, Zhao Yao understood that to learn the awareness skill required time and energy and he had to learn step by step.

    With Book¡¯s ability, he was able to cote the skill book¡¯s information before learning. He had to make full use of this advantage.

    The invisible Zhao Yao studied another skill book.

    For the next few days, Zhao Yao spent the day training in the Cat ve Hall before sneaking into the library to study skill bookste into the night. Then he returned to Earth to rest.

    After researching a week in the library, Zhao Yao discovered the problem.

    ¡°The apprentice area only has orange level skills and qualified cat ves can go to the second and third floor where the maroon level skill books are located.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the two maroon level skill books and frowned. ¡°There are no high level skill books in Cat ve Hall. Do I have to look in other ces?¡±

    Besides the skill book problem, Diana had reached the upper limit and was unable to level up. Book created a new mission to unlock the upper limit.

    Mission: Unlock Level Limit

    Mission Objective: BOOK requires more high level supercats to evolve. Upgrade five supercats to Level 25.

    Reward: Unlocked Level 25 Limit

    Mission Penalty: None.

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought, ¡°I¡¯ve to upgrade five supercats to Level 25? I¡¯ll upgrade Level 12 Catherine first.¡±

    As he could not find more powerful skills, he picked two skill books for Diana to test.

    Maroon Level Skill: Scorching Sun, the power of awareness is converted to hot mes scalding your opponent. It multiplies damage from power of awareness.

    Maroon Level Skill: Crystal, improves toughness of awareness and increases resistance against attacks from power of awareness.

    ¡°One attack and one defense skill, they¡¯re the best skills in this library.¡± Zhao Yao licked his lips. ¡°I¡¯ll test both of them.¡±

    Do you expend 20 000 experience points for Diana to learn Maroon Level Skill: Scorching Sun?

    Zhao Yao agreed in his awareness and Book deducted 20 000 experience points and read Book: Lv8(51317/100 000).

    ¡°Orange level skill requires 10 000 experience points while maroon level skill requires 20 000? I¡¯ve to continue umtion of experience points.¡± Zhao Yao thought about it and he decided to let his supercats earn experience points themselves.

    ¡°I¡¯m the only one earning experience points while theyy in wait for level upgrades. If I have more cats in the future, how long will it take for them to upgrade?¡±

    Zhao Yao discovered that Diana¡¯s panel had a new skill table. One of the items was Scorching Sun while three were empty.

    ¡°A supercat¡¯s only allowed four skills?¡±

    Zhao Yao tried deleting Scorching Sun.

    Do you want to delete Scorching Sun?

    Zhao Yao selected no. He did not need to worry about making a wrong choice.

    Zhao Yao returned to Earth and he wanted Diana to test out her new skill.

    In the sky above Cat Ind, Zhao Yao and Diana stood together. Tongues of transparent mes emerged from Zhao Yao and shot towards Diana.

    The transparent mes did not scorch Diana¡¯s body as they scalded her awareness.

    Diana screamed in pain as she backed off wailing. Her power of awareness exploded and expelled the transparent mes.

    ¡°The pain¡¯s killing me!¡± Diana said furiously. ¡°Zhao Yao, have a taste of your medicine!¡±

    Diana activated Scorching Sun and her power of awareness turned to scorching mes as they engulfed Zhao Yao. He felt a burning sensation even after Diana stopped attacking. It was following him like a real fire.

    Zhao Yao had to activate his power of awareness to expel the transparent mes and stop the burning feeling.

    ¡°Interesting. This is more powerful than simply attacking with power of awareness and it has asting effecting like a real fire.¡± Zhao Yao analyzed the power of the Scorching Sun. ¡°Those without superpowers would be burnt to death straightaway.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°The Short Fur Tribe has been passing down their controlling superpower and various uses of awareness skills.

    I wonder how thebat styles of Furless Tribe and the Long Fur Tribe vary.¡±

    ording to Zhao Yao¡¯s analysis, at the same level, the Short Fur Tribe used various awareness skills to fight. When pitting themselves against the Furless Tribe and the Long Fur Tribe, they used their power of awareness and their superpowers at the same time.

    For example, a battle in the material realm, he could use Time Freeze and his superior constitution to destroy his opponent¡¯s body without using his power of awareness.

    If his opponent escaped to the Awareness Dimension, it was not possible to use his superpower. Like Giggle and Tom who possessed other people¡¯s body, it was useless to destroy their bodies.

    Zhao Yao expended 20 000 experience points for Diana to learn the Crystal Skill.

    This was a passive skill. After learning, Zhao Yao felt Diana¡¯s power of awareness bing sturdier and more resistant to attacks like the Scorching Sun. There was also less sensitivity to pain.

    ¡°It¡¯s not enough and the two skills are not strong. I haven¡¯t learned how to increase the maximum yer count of Closers World,¡± Zhao Yao thought. ¡°Skills rted to Closers World must be high level. I¡¯ve to investigate where I can learn skill levels higher than the maroon level.¡±

    On the second day, Zhao Yao went to the Cat ve Hall to train and find out from the trainer where to learn high level skills.

    He discovered that high level skills did not exist in book format but in a dreamscape created by the Short Fur Tribe. Only those who were rmended and led by the supercats could learn high level skills.

    ¡°Fortunately, I didn¡¯t abandon this identity.¡± Zhao Yao thought, ¡°I should perform well and improve my status.¡±

    Zhao Yao suddenly hastened his pace as the apprentices ran around the training arena. He caught up and ran to the front of the group.

    Seeing Zhao Yao¡¯s speed, a few apprentices caught up with him as they did not wish to be overtaken.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s body had breached normal human standards. With a little effort, he could outrun all apprentices. He led the group from the front to the back without panting. He looked like he had just strolled a few rounds.

    A few of the apprentices panted heavily and looked surprised at Zhao Yao. ¡°Why is he so strong?¡±

    An apprentice who was beside Blue Moon and wanted to catch up with Zhao Yao panted heavily. ¡°His endurance¡¯s very strong. I think he didn¡¯t use all his efforts.¡±

    Blue Moon nodded but did not take it to heart. Yesterday, he had asked a trainer regarding Zhao Yao and knew that his potential was inferior and could not borrow much of Wheatley¡¯s power.

    A cat ve¡¯s most important aptitude was whether he waspatible with the supercat and how much power he could borrow.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s potential was bad and could not borrow much power. Even if he had superior constitution, in Blue Moon¡¯s eyes, it was of no value.

    After everyone had lined up, Blue Moon pped his hands and said, ¡°Two people in a group, rxing exercise, begin.¡±

    Everyone started forming groups to do rxing exercises under his order. Blue Moon¡¯s status was high among the apprentices and he was like a leader. When the trainers were not around, he organized the apprentices to train and learn.

    ck Dune who was passing by the training arena noticed Zhao Yao and said with pity, ¡°What a good constitution but poorpatibility with Lord Wheatley... What a pity.¡±

    A person walked hurriedly to ck Dune and whispered into his ears. ck Dune looked very grave.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s ears quivered and eavesdropped on the contents.

    The cat ves under supercat Ya Xing had intruded and upied a few of Wheatley¡¯s northern cities. Wheatley¡¯s reinforcements were also captured.

    With theck of manpower, the one-star cat ves who had to train in the Cat ve Hall joined the battle.

    It was gloomy for the next few days in Frosted Teeth City. Everyone hurried on the streets and looked very worried.

    The cat ves under Ya Xing were notorious in the north. Wheatley¡¯s cat ves lost several battles and were captured.

    Due to severe manpower shortage, all one-star cat ves were sent out for battle. Even some trainers had to go to the front line.

    ...

    In this afternoon outside Jianghai¡¯s first experimental cat school, supercats meowed happily as they ran out after school ended.

    Latte carried his school bag and ran out happily. ¡°Finally school¡¯s over. I¡¯m dead tired.¡±

    Three days ago, he failed to predict Roly Poly¡¯s actions and was captured and then sent to school, where he began his schooling career.

    After enduring school, Latte ran quickly outside school as he wanted to go home and yputer games.

    Latte was at the entrance when he noticed Matcha waiting for him, sprawled on the floor, looking very worried.

    ¡°How are you Matcha? Is Elementary Level 3 good for you?¡±

    Matcha looked solemn as he lifted his head to look at Latte. ¡°Latte, remember, you have to fail for the end of semester examination. Do not go to Elementary Level 3. It¡¯s not fit for a cat to study.¡±

    Latte started to sweat and asked, ¡°Ah? That scary?¡±

    Matcha nodded and said, ¡°Hmm, I¡¯ve decided to fail.¡±

    ¡°Ah? You are going to fail?¡± Latte said. ¡°Aren¡¯t you repeating one year?¡±

    ¡°Silly cat.¡± Matcha smiled coldly. ¡°If I study from elementary to middle and high school, how many years is that?¡±

    ¡°1... 2... 3...¡± Latte became anxious as he counted and thought, ¡°S*it, I can¡¯t count above ten. What should I do? How do I pretend I can count?¡±

    Matcha told him and Latte heaved in relief. ¡°12 years! I have to study 12 years! How can I live for 12 more years? School can never be finished!

    Since I can¡¯tplete school, why don¡¯t I repeat Elementary Level 1 until I die? Isn¡¯t that more rxing?¡±

    Latte said sadly, ¡°It¡¯s tough being a cat.¡±

    A group of cats walked over to them. In the middle was the popr Fish Ball.

    ¡°Brother Fish Ball, how do you do this question?¡±

    Fish Ball shook his head with disdain and said, ¡°Such a simple question. Did you grow up eating poo?¡±

    ¡°Brother Fish Ball, could you lend me today¡¯s homework for me to copy?¡±

    Fish Ball frowned and said, ¡°I lent it out long ago. Ask other cats.¡±

    ¡°Brother Fish Ball, I¡¯m unable to understand what the teacher¡¯s saying, what should I do?¡±

    Fish Ball smiled and turned his head. ¡°Xiao Li, Elementary Level 5¡¯s a crucial period. If you don¡¯t understand, it¡¯ll impact you severely.¡±

    Xiao Li quivered her ears and asked anxiously, ¡°Ah? What shall I do?¡±

    Fish Ball said reluctantly, ¡°I¡¯ll sacrifice myself. I¡¯ll tutor you tonight.¡±

    Xiao Li said happily, ¡°Really Brother Fish Ball? You are so nice!¡±

    Fish Ball smiledsciviously but he saw a pool of water being sshed on his face.

    Fish Ball turned around and saw the Cat King of the West Li Li with Beef Ball waiting and looking furiously at him.

    Li Li smiled coldly. ¡°Hehe, now you¡¯re tutoring?¡±

    Fish Ball said nervously, ¡°Listen to my exnation Li Li, I¡¯m helping my ssmate. Don¡¯t think too much...¡±

    Ssh! Li Li drenched Fish Ball¡¯s face with water and said, ¡°Follow me home immediately!¡±

    Fish Ball noticed the gazes of the surrounding cats and felt it was a loss of face. He braced himself and said, ¡°Humph! I¡¯m thinking of going back! To have a good discussion with you!¡±

    ¡°Fish Ball studied elementary school before.¡± Matcha said, ¡°Disgusting!¡±

    Matcha and Latte walked to the nearby Dimension Portal and followed other cats into the portal. They returned to the cafe.

    In the cafe, Matcha sniffed and became excited. He bolted outside and ran to Zhao Yao and rubbed his feet as he said, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, didn¡¯t you go to the alien?¡±

    ¡°Hmm, I¡¯m checking up on stuff.¡± Zhao Yao stroked Matcha¡¯s head and focused his attention on theputer.

    He did not go to the Cat ve Hall to train as he was researching how to elevate his status among the cat ves.

    ¡°It¡¯s not wise to expose my superiorbat prowess. If I want to elevate my status, I have to fawn on Wheatley and let him teach me the skills.¡±

    Zhao Yao pondered as he researched various information for his preparation. He was wondering if the methods used for Earth¡¯s cats were effective on Wheatley.

    As Zhao Yao was browsing the inte, the doorbell rang.

    Zhao Xue stroked Sheriff¡¯s head while he listened intently to the nearby movements.

    Roly Poly retracted his ws from a supercat¡¯s paw andughed arrogantly.

    Zhao Xue frowned and asked Sheriff, ¡°Could you hear his thoughts?¡±

    Sheriff said, ¡°Finally I can go back and eat KFC.¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao received a phone call from Zhao Xue and said, ¡°Oh? How is it? Don¡¯t be impatient. Continue to follow him and report to me if there are problems.¡±

    The doorbell rang. Ning Ning who was ying with her cell phone lifted her head and looked surprised at the guests. ¡°Yang Hui? You¡¯re back?¡±

    Ning Ning looked curiously at thedy beside Yang Hui. She was wearingmon T-shirt and jeans but they gave off a trendy and refreshing vibe.

    Yang Hui nodded and looked puzzledly at her cousin and said, ¡°She¡¯s my cousin Lee Shuyao. She wanted to have a coffee...¡±

    Yang Hui¡¯s tone was full of doubts and she nced at her cousin.

    Lee Shuyao was Yang Hui¡¯s idol since she was young. She had been a schr in school and was enrolled in Beijing University. With her excellent results, she was employed in arge Beijing organization. She was promoted to department head before she was thirty and bought a house with a loan. She was a promisingdy

    She realized her apostle¡¯s potential and obtained her own supercat.

    Yang Hui¡¯s goal was to be like Lee Shuyao who was an independent and sessful woman with her house and cat.

    When her cousin returned to their hometown, she wanted to have coffee. She went shopping with Yang Hui and arrived at the cafe where Ning Ning was working.

    Lee Shuyao smiled at Ning Ning and said, ¡°Greetings, I¡¯m Yang Hui¡¯s cousin, Lee Shuyao.¡±

    Ning Ning said, ¡°¡±Uh... Oh, greetings.¡±

    Lee Shuyao and Yang Hui ordered their coffee, settled down and chatted sporadically. Lee Shuyao¡¯s eyes surveyed the cafe and gazed at Zhao Yao several times as if she was observing something.

    Lee Shuyao said ,¡±That man¡¯s resting over there, is he the cafe¡¯s boss?¡±

    ¡°Hmm, a disgusting otaku. I heard he was sleeping in the cafe and yingputer games.¡± Yang Hui nodded and recalled his perverted behavior with disgust.

    Lee Shuyao nodded and remembered her boss¡¯ words.

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to know who he is. Just know that he¡¯s important.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a coincidence that your cousin encountered him. This is a good chance.¡±

    ¡°Get to know him and it¡¯s best if you be his good friend.¡±

    ¡°Yes, he¡¯s an otaku. You may make use of this to get close to him.¡±

    Lee Shuyao¡¯s eyes narrowed and she observed Zhao Yao who conducting research on the inte.

    In order not to be harrassed, Zhao Yao made use of his strong constitution, control of his body and the Ultra Rapid Regeneration to change his face so that people were unable to identify him.

    Though Lee Shuyao observed intently, she was unable to identify Zhao Yao. She noticed that he had dark eye rings, normal looks, wore simple clothing and he had a hermit¡¯s attitude as if he was an otaku who had never stepped out of his house for many years.

    ¡°He looks pretty honest, sleeps in the cafe and ysputer games. Is he an otaku? That¡¯s easy to deal with.¡±

    Lee Shuyao pondered for a while and said to Ning Ning, ¡°This coffee¡¯s pretty good. I¡¯ll chat with your boss.¡±

    Yang Hui looked in astonishment as her cousin walked over. She looked at her own coffee and thought, ¡°Is this coffee that good? Ning Ning said this is an instant coffee.¡±

    Lee Shuyao sat beside Zhao Yao and smiled as she said, ¡°Are you the cafe¡¯s boss? Your coffee¡¯s pretty good.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at her and continued staring at the contents on theputer screen,pletely ignoring her existence.

    Lee Shuyao analyzed in her mind. ¡°Normally, otakus would be shy to chat with a beautifuldy like me. It¡¯s actually easier for me to tempt and control him.¡±

    She was full of confidence and her eyes swept across the screen. ¡°If he¡¯s an otaku, I¡¯ll begin with his interest.¡±

    Observing the cats on the screen, Lee Shuyao smiled and said, ¡°Boss, do you like cats? I have a very cute cat too. I can¡¯t live without my cat.¡±

    Zhao Yao, who had ignored her, lifted his head and looked at Lee Shuyao as he said, ¡°You like cats too?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Lee Shuyao asked, ¡°Boss, do you keep cats too?¡±

    Zhao Yao, who was pondering over how to deal with alien cats, asked, ¡°Keeping cats? Are you interested in how to take care of cats?¡±

    Looking at Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes, Lee Shuyao hesitated before saying, ¡°Yes... a little I guess?¡±

    ¡°Humph, I haven¡¯t met a young person like you for a long time. You¡¯ve asked the right person.¡± Zhao Yao was excited when it came to cats. ¡°I keep more than 300 cats that are kind, hardworking, honest, disgusting, unscrupulous andzy. Finally, they be obedient cats after I train them.¡±

    Lee Shuyao thought, ¡°His interest is in cats? I¡¯ll chat with him about cats to improve our rtionship...¡±

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°A pretty woman who¡¯s interested in keeping cats? Why don¡¯t I... trick her into working in the cafe.¡±

    Lee Shuyao smiled and said, ¡°Boss, you¡¯re awesome. My cat¡¯s disobedient and won¡¯t let me carry it.¡±

    Zhao Yao said immediately, ¡°The training¡¯s incorrect. Cats can¡¯t be spoiled. I¡¯ll teach you a few methods...¡±

    Seeing Zhao Yao chatting non-stop, Lee Shuyao smiled and nodded. ¡°This guy... is so chatty, like those men who talked about their lives. Once they start boasting, they can¡¯t stop.¡±

    ¡°How¡¯s that?¡± Zhao Yao spoke for a while and looked at her. ¡°Do you understand?¡±

    Lee Shuyao said, ¡°I still can¡¯t get the gist of it. Seems like keeping cats is harder than I thought.¡±

    She edged closer to Zhao Yao while chatting and her alluring breath brushed on Zhao Yao¡¯s face.

    She looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Boss, could you share more tips on keeping cats?¡±

    ¡°Is she that interested in keeping cats? She seems much better than Ning Ning.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded happily. ¡°About keeping cats, educating cats, punishment and reward, nutrition, catmeal preparation, cats¡¯ thoughts, cat cuddling techniques, I have some knowledge. I¡¯ll share a few pointers with you...¡±

    Two hourster...

    Yang Hui looked at her cell phone. Then she looked at the chatterbox Zhao Yao. ¡°Isn¡¯t he done with the talking yet?¡±

    She looked at her smiling and interested cousin and thought, ¡°My cousin listened to him for that long... Is she interested in the boss? I hope not.¡±

    Lee Shuyao forced herself to maintain her smile. Seeing Zhao Yao chatter nonstop, she thought, ¡°Is he done yet... No, my face is getting cramped from the smile... If he continues, I¡¯ll break down... I have to get him to stop.¡±

    Matcha noticed that Zhao Yao and Lee Shuyao chatted for over two hours and he asked grimly, ¡°Is Zhao Yao interested in her?¡±

    Elizabeth sprawled at the side and said, ¡°All these years, besides Zhao Xue, did you see Zhao Yao bring a woman home? I feel... that Zhao Yao might not like women.¡±

    ¡°Did you see how long Zhao Yao chatted with the woman? It¡¯s obvious he¡¯s interested. He doesn¡¯t normally chat with women for that long,¡± Diana said. ¡°It¡¯s a relief to know Zhao Yao¡¯s sexual orientation, otherwise we¡¯d have to live in fear.¡±

    ¡°Yes! Yes! Yes!¡± Matcha nodded his head and said, ¡°Do you know that I get a shock every time he turns in bed at night?¡±

    On Zhao Yao¡¯s side.

    ¡°Eh? You were absent-minded?¡± Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes and looked at Lee Shuyao as he said, ¡°Am I boring you?¡±

    ¡°No... no, you¡¯re very interesting and I was too focused on your topic.¡± Lee Shuyao wiped off her cold sweat and said, ¡°It¡¯s five o¡¯clock now. Shall we have a meal and chat at the same time? I¡¯m keen to know more of your knowledge about keeping cats.¡±

    ¡°Having a meal?¡± Zhao Yao frowned and looked at his cell phone and said, ¡°No, I have a lot of research on cats to go through. I don¡¯t have time for a meal.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Lee Shuyao was stunned as she looked at Zhao Yao. She could not believe he said that. ¡°He rejected an invitation from a beautiful woman like myself? Are there only cats in his mind?¡±

    Seeing Zhao Yao turn away and focus on his research, Lee Shuyao thought, ¡°He¡¯s a serious cat control maniac! Is he really important to my superiors?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll not give up that easily,¡± Lee Shuyao thought. ¡°Since I was young, I have resolved all obstacles step by step. After much struggling, I managed to have my current life. How could I lose to cats?¡±

    Lee Shuyao gazed at Zhao Yao as though he was her prey and thought, ¡°See how I¡¯ll subdue you.¡±

    Lee Shuyao smiled at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to eat outside, we can order takeaway.¡± She intended to order takeaway and eat with Zhao Yao in the cafe.

    Zhao Yao shook his head and said, ¡°I intend to prepare cat meals and make some food for myself. I don¡¯t need to order takeaway.¡± He looked at Lee Shuyao and his eyes lit up as he said, ¡°Yes, I told you about bnced nutrition for cats and the steps for making cat meal. Do you remember? Do you want to try?¡±

    ¡°Ah... Ah?¡± Lee Shuyao was ufortable with Zhao Yao¡¯s gaze and thought, ¡°If I refuse him... then I¡¯ll contradict myself... This is frustrating!!!¡±

    In the kitchen, Ning Ning said, ¡°Boss, you don¡¯t need my help?¡±

    ¡°No, I have a few new dishes to try. You are not required here.¡± Zhao Yao looked at Lee Shuyao and said, ¡°Try making the cat meal personally. Only with care and love can you make the best cat meal.¡±

    Under Zhao Yao¡¯s guidance, Lee Shuyao cut the vegetables, minced the meat and added voring. She was dazed as she thought, ¡°What... What am I doing?¡±

    After Lee Shuyaopleted the catmeal, Zhao Yao nodded and said, ¡°Not bad, you have attained 60% of my level in the first try. You¡¯re gifted in making catmeals. Doe over when you¡¯re free.¡±

    He ushered Lee Shuyao out of the kitchen and said to Diana, ¡°Get Tom, Arria and Asser to taste this catmeal.¡±

    Lee Shuyao looked dazed at the kitchen door and thought, ¡°This guy... did he retain me to make catmeal? Perhaps, he¡¯s not interested in women?¡±

    Seeing her cousining out of the kitchen, Yang Hui asked, ¡°Cousin? Are you interested in him?¡±

    Lee Shuyao smiled and said against her conscience, ¡°Hmm... good but it¡¯s not what you¡¯re thinking. The boss is a good person.¡± She thought, ¡°This pervert¡¯s mind is full of cats. I¡¯ll bring my cat over next time.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Asser, Arria and Tom, who possessed Matcha¡¯s body and asked, ¡°What do you think of the taste? Is the taste suitable for the Short Fur Tribe?¡±

    Seeing the cats nodding with satisfaction, Zhao Yao nodded. He adjusted the taste ording to the alien cats¡¯ habits and their breed.

    He tried new ways of cuddling the three cats. He also tested Dust Ball Catmint, cat stick, small rat and the scratching board on them.

    Seeing the three cats scratching on the scratching board that was scattered with catmint, Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Cats are indeed cats. Though the alien cats¡¯ culture is different, the methods we use on Earth are applicable to the alien cats. They will definitely love it.¡±

    On the second day, Zhao Yao entered the Dimension Portal and arrived at the Cat ve Hall to train.

    As he was training, Blue Moon approached him and said, ¡°Guang Yu, you didn¡¯te yesterday?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll mark you absent without notice.¡± Blue Moon said, ¡°If you do it more than three times, I¡¯ll ask the trainer to dismiss you. Hope that you take the training seriously.¡±

    Zhao Yao waved his hand helplessly and said, ¡°I understand.¡±

    ck Dune approached the apprentices and said, ¡°Lord Wheatley needs more cat ves and the northern battlefield requires qualified cat ves. Lord Wheatley decided to let apprentices take care of his daily routines...¡±

    Before ck Dunepleted his sentence, the cat ves cheered excitedly.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Humph, let me subdue Lord Wheatley with my preparations yesterday.¡±

    A group of humans left the Cat ve Hall and arrived at Lord Wheatley¡¯s pce.

    In a great hall, the apprentices formed several rows and gazed at the distant figure behind a thin veil.

    Zhao Yao stood at the end and tiptoed to look at the figure as he frowned.

    ck Dune said, ¡°Lord Wheatley, the apprentices are all here.¡±

    ¡°What? There are so few cat ves.¡± The veil was pulled aside and an adorable young girl of fourteen to fifteen years old came out. She pouted and said, ¡°Looks quite useless.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked astonished at the small girl on the stage and asked the apprentice beside him, ¡°She... She¡¯s Wheatley? Why is she...¡±

    The apprentice said, ¡°Don¡¯t you know? Lord Wheatley activated reincarnation superpower and was reincarnated in an unborn baby.¡±

    ¡°S*it! I¡¯ve prepared for nothing!¡± Zhao Yao was furious.

    The apprentice beside him asked bewildered, ¡°What¡¯s with you?¡±

    ¡°Nothing.¡± Zhao Yao exhaled and said, ¡°Did she know that after bing a human, she¡¯s not as adorable as a cat!¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± The apprentice agreed and said, ¡°Why did she be an irritating small girl? I wonder when Lord Wheatley will reincarnate as an adorable cat.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°This is frustrating. After bing a small girl, what does she like? Wouldn¡¯t her taste for food bepletely different? I have to think of a new way to convince her to let me learn the skills.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the distant Wheatley, who had a Level 28 indicator above her head. He pondered hard.

    The space in front of him rippled and he saw the Dimension Portal, which only he could see, appeared before him.

    ¡°Once a cat reincarnates as a small girl, the body takes the form of a small girl. The feelings, taste and touch are different from a cat¡¯s. After some time, preferences change but some habits stay.¡± Zhao Yao got Matcha behind the portal and said, ¡°Help me check what a small girl likes.¡±

    Zhao Yao clenched his fists. ¡°This is frustrating. I don¡¯t know what a small girl likes.¡±

    Wheatley sat on her throne and propped up her feet.

    Perhaps she retained her cat¡¯s habits, she wore very little clothing. She wrapped her important areas with shredded cloth. Her legs, hands, corbone, stomach, which were wheat colored, were exposed.

    Wheatley pouted her lips as she said, ¡°None of them look fun.¡±

    A golden-haired youth standing by Wheatley said, ¡°Lord Wheatley, let them showcase their skills learnt in the Cat ve Hall. See which one¡¯s more outstanding. They are all apprentices, if all are sent into the pce, some may not be suitable.¡±

    ¡°Meow?¡± Wheatley¡¯s eyes rolled and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t they learn aboutbing fur, preparing catmeal and training? What¡¯s there to see?¡±

    Wheatley swung her fair leg and looked at the cat ves as she said, ¡°I¡¯ve heard all the recent stories of the pce. I¡¯d like to listen to new stories. Everyone will tell me a new story. If you¡¯re good, you¡¯ll stay. Otherwise you¡¯ll go back and continue the apprenticeship.¡±

    ¡°Storytelling?¡±

    Everyone was stunned and puzzled.

    The golden-haired man said, ¡°Are you defying Lord Wheatley? If she wants storytelling, you¡¯ll tell good stories.¡± He pointed at Blue Moon in the first row and said, ¡°You¡¯ll be first.¡±

    ¡°Me?¡± Blue Moon looked at Wheatley¡¯s curious pupils and a strong dominant feeling engulfed him.

    Blue Moon was unprepared and cold sweat dripped down his head. Finally, he said, ¡°Long, long time ago, a courageous cat ve called ck Smoke served a cat called Ka Ka. One day, Ka Ka was captured by a huge evil cat, ck Smoke decided to rescue Ka Ka...¡±

    Wheatley opened his mouth and yawned, ¡°Boring story, next.¡±

    Blue Moon looked glum and stopped. Another apprentice beside Blue Moon was pointed out by Wheatley and he said, ¡°Long... long time ago, there was a mountain with lots of people. They hunted... hunted daily for a living...¡±

    Wheatley frowned at the cat ve who was tongue-tied and said, ¡°Next.¡±

    The apprentices in the Frosted Teeth City had been training since young to be a qualified cat ve. They trained diligently every day so they had no time for storytelling.

    Wheatley was getting impatient while the cat ves were getting more disappointed. It was finally Zhao Yao¡¯s turn.

    Zhao Yao walked out confidently. He had thought of a story while other cat ves were telling their stories.

    ¡°Five hundred years ago, 100 thousand meters above Satol, in a cold dark end of the sky, nine corpses that were 1000 feet each dragged a green bronze coffin in the air. This was the Nine Cats¡¯ Coffin Drag...¡±

    ¡°On this day, in the northern part of Satol, a cat called Jojo was training his superpower diligently.

    Three years ago, Jojo had great potential and was of a premium grey cat breed. On a strange night, he became the lowest level orange cat.

    While training, he could not resist looking at the direction of the great hall. On that day, the beautiful Lizzie looked for him to break their engagement...¡±

    As Zhao Yao told his story in an animated way, a story about the orange cat Jojo came to life before the crowd.

    After Jojo became an orange cat, he was humiliated. Then he increased his power step by step and obtained the respect of other cats. He expanded his territory and gained dominance. Wheatley¡¯s eyes glimmered with interest.

    When the orange cat Jojo fell off the cliff and met an old white cat, Zhao Yao stopped abruptly.

    Wheatley asked anxiously, ¡°Why did you stop? Continue immediately.¡±

    Zhao Yao said helplessly, ¡°I can¡¯t think of whates next.¡±

    Wheatley was surprised. ¡°The story you told just now, did you just think of it?¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and said, ¡°Yes, I like to listen to stories and I¡¯ve tried writing some too. I haven¡¯t finished this story. You have to wait if you want to hear more.¡±

    Wheatley frowned and shook her leg impatiently. ¡°How long do I need to wait?¡±

    ¡°I can think of a bit everyday. I¡¯ll tell you a small part each day.¡±

    Wheatley¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Good! From now on, you¡¯ll stay in my pce and tell me stories daily.¡±

    The other apprentices looked astonished at Zhao Yao. Their gazes were full of jealousy and envy.

    Zhao Yao nodded with satisfaction and looked at the Dimension Portal at the side. Matcha stood behind the portal and raised his cell phone to flip the novel for Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao was reading the novel on the phone while improvising and adding more cat roles to attract Wheatley into the story.

    He thought, ¡°It¡¯s good that I read a lot of books. I¡¯m able to use them at a critical time.¡±

    ck Dune asked, ¡°Lord Wheatley, what shall we do for the rest of the apprentices?¡±

    Wheatley looked impatiently at them and said, ¡°Let them prepare meals, clean feces and do general cleaning.¡±

    ck Dune lowered his head and said, ¡°Yes, my Lord.¡±

    Wheatley smiled merrily and walked to Zhao Yao. She stuck out her tongue and wanted to lick Zhao Yao. She said, ¡°From now on, I¡¯ll protect you.¡±

    The golden-haired youth hurried over and stopped Wheatley. ¡°Lord Wheatley! You can¡¯t lick others! There¡¯s bacteria, you¡¯ll be sick.¡±

    Wheatley retrieved her tongue reluctantly and licked the corners of her lips. She pretended to be an adult and patted Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulders as she said, ¡°Work well and I¡¯ll feed you. You¡¯ll eat what I eat. Be obedient.¡±

    The golden-haired youth, who was the cat ve supervisor, gazed at the little hand on Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulders and frowned.

    Other apprentices were getting more jealous of Zhao Yao. They suffered for many years and had started from the bottom withmon jobs. Guang Yu was only an apprentice for a short while and his potential was bad but he was favored by Lord Wheatley for his storytelling skills.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Wheatley looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Are you able to ept my power? Then you can tell me stories any time.¡±

    Wheatley tip-toed and extended her hand towards Zhao Yao¡¯s chest as she wanted to lend her superpower to Zhao Yao.

    Wheatley¡¯s palm pressed on Zhao Yao¡¯s chest and everyone felt a strong power emerging and then rolling off her body.

    ck Dune looked surprised at the scene. ¡°It can¡¯t be... his potential¡¯s bad. Why... Why...¡±

    ¡°Why is he able to ept Lord Wheatley¡¯s power?¡± Blue Moon looked astonished. ¡°This potential...¡±

    The cat ve supervisor behind Wheatley frowned and looked at Zhao Yao with surprise. ¡°This guy...¡±

    Wheatley¡¯s palm pressed lightly on Zhao Yao¡¯s body and felt as though her superpower drifted into a ck hole. She smiled widely and showed her canines. ¡°We¡¯re quitepatible? Take it, take all, take as much as you can!¡±

    After some moments, Wheatley felt her lending of power slowing to a halt. She looked at Zhao Yao with anticipation. ¡°How are you feeling?¡±

    Zhao Yao heaved in relief and looked at the superpower borrowed by the Cat Prince Costume. He was very pleased.

    As Wheatley was about to lend superpower to him, Zhao Yao deleted the invisibility superpower of the Cat Prince Costume to reserve a space for Wheatley¡¯s superpower.

    Though Wheatley was lending her superpower to Zhao Yao, she was actually lending it to the Cat Prince Costume.

    ¡°Level 28 awareness superpower... I¡¯ve got it.¡±

    Zhao was pleased and Wheatley was satisfied. She had not had apetent cat ve for a long time. One that could tell stories and waspatible with her power.

    Wheatley was not worried about her cat ves because she was able to take back the cat ves¡¯ power with a thought. She wished that they were as strong as possible.

    Even if thepatibility was extremely high, the power lent out would not reach 100%.

    Wheatley did not know that her power was not lent to Zhao Yao but the Cat Prince Costume. Even if she tried, she was not able to take back her power. The Cat Prince Costume had 100% of Wheatley¡¯s superpower.

    Wheatley looked pleased at Zhao Yao and liked this new cat ve.

    ¡°Try attacking me. I¡¯ll check how much power you¡¯ve borrowed from me.¡±

    Zhao Yao controlled the Cat Prince Costume¡¯s power. ¡°I can¡¯t exhibit the full power. I¡¯ll lower it a bit.¡±

    ck Dune said, ¡°Lord Wheatley, Guang Yu hasn¡¯t learned...¡±

    Bam!

    There was no sound but everyone¡¯s awareness felt an explosion as though two powers of awareness collided.

    Zhao Yao smiled and said, ¡°I went to the library to read some books so I know a little about manipting power of awareness.¡±

    Wheatley¡¯s body trembled and she looked wide-eyed as she shook Zhao Yao¡¯s arms and said, ¡°You¡¯re awesome. That¡¯s like 70% to 80% of my power. Is that your full strength?¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and Wheatley meowed excitedly. ¡°That¡¯s my good cat ve. If Ya Xing knew that I had such a powerful cat ve, he¡¯ll die of anger! You have a two-star cat ve¡¯s power!¡±

    She tip-toed and stroked Zhao Yao¡¯s head. ¡°From today onwards, you¡¯ll be my great cat ve marshal!¡±

    The cat ves were envious and jealous. Zhao Yao was able to borrow 70% to 80% of Wheatley¡¯s superpower and potential that great was like one in a hundred.

    Blue Moon looked at Zhao Yao and sighed. Yesterday Zhao Yao was far behind everyone but now he was in the lead and had Wheatley¡¯s favor.

    For the next few days, Zhao Yao lived in Wheatley¡¯s pce. He did not need to work as he was required to tell stories. Wheatley was so fond of him that she always asked him for stories.

    After some exploring and testing, Zhao Yao understood that the two-star category was rted to Book and the level system.

    ¡°A one-star cat ve is Level 11 to Level 19 while a two-star cat ve is Level 20 to Level 29.¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought with surprise, ¡°Isn¡¯t the nine-star cat ve Level 90 to Level 99?¡±

    Zhao Yao was d he did not act rashly. This alien had a lot of hidden and strong opponents. He thought of using the Cat Prince Costume to borrow superpowers from a Level 90 supercat.

    If he met a Level 90 supercat, he would be controlled with a thought. His fate would be in other people¡¯s control. That was not what Zhao Yao wanted.

    ...

    ¡°Guang Yu! Guang Yu!¡± Wheatley extended both her hands and pressed continuously on Zhao Yao¡¯s chest as though she was a kitten stepping on breasts. She meowed, ¡°Please tell one more chapter? Just one more short chapter, okay?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°I shall end it here. Wait for tomorrow.¡±

    Wheatley was unhappy. ¡°I don¡¯t want to! You have to tell me one more chapter otherwise I won¡¯t let you be an apprentice!¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Great, it¡¯s better than telling stories every day. I have to think of new stories. It¡¯s tiring.¡±

    Wheatley frowned and looked furiously at Zhao Yao. ¡°Guang Yu, you are being disrespectful.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Wheatley¡¯s adorable face and thought about the cat spirit within. He felt an urge. ¡°I¡¯d like to caress the human form of the cat. I wonder how much of her cat habits remain.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s palm touched Wheatley¡¯s head and he could not help stroking her head.

    Wheatley¡¯s eyes squinted and opened her mouth to bite Zhao Yao¡¯s palm but he dodged.

    Wheatley was furious. ¡°Don¡¯t touch my head!¡± She opened her mouth to bite but Zhao Yao dodged a few times and said, ¡°Enough, enough, I won¡¯t touch and you can stop biting.¡± He thought, ¡°Is she the kind of cat that doesn¡¯t like her head being stroked? Or am I not familiar enough?¡±

    Momentster.

    ¡°You... What¡¯s that thing... Why is there so much fur?¡±

    ¡°This is a cat¡¯s toy. Try it, It¡¯s fun.¡±

    ¡°Toy? It feels... very strange.¡±

    ¡°Try licking it? This can be licked.¡±

    ¡°Sloshy... hmm... strange taste.¡±

    ¡°Swallow it. This is good for the body.¡±

    The door was suddenly opened with a bang. Snow Mountain, the chief manager of the cat ves who was waiting outside, kicked open the door and said impatiently, ¡°Preposterous! Lord Wheatley¡¯s innocent, if she¡¯s deceived...¡± He shouted in anger, ¡°Guang Yu! What are you doing?!¡±

    Zhao Yao was holding a cat stick and dangled the connected rat. Wheatley pressed on the rat and licked a few times before biting in her mouth. She felt weird after sniffing the Dust Ball Catmint.

    Puff!

    Wheatley swallowed the rat and catmint and frowned. ¡°Very weird! I don¡¯t like this taste.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Because of the human form, the taste haspletely changed.¡±

    The structure of the human and cat bodies were different and the tastes were vastly different. Cats find the food nd or too stimting while it is tasty for humans.

    Snow Mountain looked speechlessly at Zhao Yao and Wheatley as he gazed at their besotted looks. He frowned. ¡°Guang Yu managed to be that close to Lord Wheatley in such a short time?¡±

    For the next few days, Zhao Yao continued to improve their rtionship. He wanted to elevate his status in her heart.

    The second day, Zhao Yao made a call to Xiao Yu and asked, ¡°What is the thing in life that you can¡¯t do without?¡±

    Xiao Yu was puzzled and asked, ¡°What are you trying to do?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t ask any questions. Answer me directly,¡± Zhao Yao said. ¡°I¡¯ll pay you if you answer. What is the thing in life that you can¡¯t do without?¡±

    ¡°A cell phone.¡±

    ¡°This doesn¡¯t count. Next.¡±

    ¡°Skincare products.¡±

    ¡°Next...¡±

    ¡°Bra.¡±

    ¡°... next.¡±

    ¡°Sanitary pads.¡±

    Zhao Yao was dumbstruck.

    ...

    ¡°The orange cat Jojo shouted once. ¡®Thirty years of River East, thirty years of River West, never bully the orange fur cat. Roly Poly, do you dare to fight me in three years time?...''¡±

    Wheatley listened attentively to Zhao Yao¡¯s story when he suddenly stopped. She asked anxiously, ¡°The story¡¯s ended for today?¡±

    ¡°Yes, wait for tomorrow.¡± Seeing Wheatley¡¯s disappointed expression, Zhao Yao remembered his prepared item and drummed up his courage to ask, ¡°Wheatley, do you have... that... do you...¡±

    ¡°What is it?¡± Wheatley was puzzled.

    ¡°Blood. Do you bleed every month?¡±

    Bam!

    Violent power of awareness emerged from her body and oppressed Zhao Yao¡¯s awareness.

    Wheatley¡¯s pupils turned to cat¡¯s pupils as she red at Zhao Yao. ¡°How do you know I¡¯m hurt?¡±

    A few months ago, Wheatley discovered she had injuries.

    Every month, she would bleed for a few days. During the period, she would get weak and tired. Even her superpower was weakened.

    She had been thinking of ways to heal her injuries but in vain.

    To avoid creating panic in her cat ves, she did not announce her injuries.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°In... Injuries?¡±

    After Zhao Yao¡¯s unprofessional exnation, Wheatley understood her body mechanics.

    She said in frustration, ¡°A woman¡¯s body is that troublesome? If I had known, I would have reincarnate as a man! This is irritating. Won¡¯t I be weak for a few days every month?¡±

    Zhao Yao silently took out the unwrapped sanitary pad from the Dimension Portal behind him. He put it in front of Wheatley and said seriously, ¡°I¡¯m rmending good stuff...¡±

    A few minutester, Wheatley touched her shorts and said ufortably, ¡°Is this really useful? I¡¯m wearing too much and it¡¯s hot.¡±

    ¡°Believe me, I made this myself. After using it, you¡¯ll like the convenience.¡±

    A few dayster, Wheatley looked secretive while searching for Zhao Yao. She patted on Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulders and said in embarrassment, ¡°Guang Yu, do you have the sanitary pad that you gave mest time? Give me some.¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled and said, ¡°I get you someter.¡± After Wheatley left, he opened the Dimension Portal and went inside. ¡°Zhao Xue! Where are your sanitary pads? Lend me some.¡±

    A few minutester, on the alien, Blue Moon, who was sweeping the main hall, looked at Zhao Yao and Wheatley walking up the stairs with their arms locked together. Both of them were smiling and looked like they were on close terms.

    Their rtionship was getting better as Zhao Yao depended on storytelling and supply of sanitary pads to gain Wheatley¡¯s trust and admiration. His status in Frosted Teeth City was highly elevated.

    Wheatley¡¯s battles in the northern territories were not doing well. Ya Xing¡¯s cat ves continued their advance and Wheatley continued to lose her territories. Her cat ves were captured, controlled and used to attack Wheatley¡¯s territories.

    Ya Xing¡¯s cat ves were seen lurking around Frosted Teeth City.

    Wheatley was not affected. She clung onto Zhao Yao for his stories and jokes. The rest of the cat ves were getting worried.

    ...

    On Earth, Closers World continued on full load and the evolution progress pressed on. Catherine became the second supercat to reach Level 25. She could absorb 50% of attacks from power of awareness and boost her power of awareness by 300%.

    Hence Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Which one should I upgrade?¡±

    After some pondering, Zhao Yao felt that Time Freeze was more flexible and useful.

    Zhao Yao upgraded Matcha to Level 15.

    Matcha did not have transformation superpower but he had two evolution paths.

    Infinite Time Freeze: You have mature control of time and the duration of Time Freeze gets longer. Finally one day, you stand forever in the silence of the universe. With an increase in level, the duration of the Time Freeze increases.

    Infinite Longevity: Timeline distortion is as natural as breathing. You are distancing yourself from death. Things fewer things are able to kill you. The cooling down period for Time Distortion reduces as the levels increase.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes glimmered as he analyzed the pros and cons of both paths.

    Infinite Time Freeze increased the duration of Time Freeze and it was a useful aid but Matcha had Boiling Point and he could have 15 times eleration during Time Freeze. Infinite Time Freeze had simr effects as Boiling Point.

    Infinite Longevity did not have strong aiding effects but it was very important. Who did not want to have a couple lives, especially in the alien where it was more dangerous. Zhao Yao wanted a protective skill.

    Zhao Yao decided on Infinite Longevity.

    After Matcha upgraded to Level 15, Time Distortion¡¯s cooling down period dropped from 180 minutes to 175 minutes.

    After looking at BOOK¡¯s situation, Zhao Yao returned to the alien and walked towards Wheatley.

    As he walked along the pce corridor, he felt something amiss. ¡°It¡¯s too silent... and the atmosphere, why is it oppressive?¡±

    The next moment, he stopped and sniffed hard. ¡°Blood?¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned and pressed forward. He saw Blue Moon run out from a corner. Blue Moon noticed Zhao Yao and shouted, ¡°Guang Yu! Run!¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Ah?¡±

    A swift wind blew towards Zhao Yao and he fell down to the ground.

    Blue Moon eximed, ¡°Guang Yu!¡±

    Behind Blue Moon, a cat ve walked out and looked at the fallen Zhao Yao. He said coldly, ¡°I¡¯ve killed another one.¡±

 Chapter 1010: The Attack

    <h4>Chapter 1010: The Attack</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    Seeing how Zhao Yao, a second-star cat ve, had been knocked out just like that, Blue Moon lost hope in achieving victory. He red at the stranger in front of him and asked, ¡°Who are you guys? Are you the cat ves under Ya Xing? What exactly do you want out of ambushing us right in our pce?¡±

    The man only smiled and put a finger to his lips as he gestured to keep quiet.

    The next moment, he huffed and blew out a formless smoke from his mouth which charged towards Blue Moon.

    Blue Moon bellowed in anger. He expelled all the force he could from his body by activating the powers he borrowed from Wheatley at maximum level to control the man.

    However, due to the imbnce in the powers of Awareness between the two, Blue Moon¡¯s powers had no effect on the man at all. The smoke engulfed his body and vast amounts of the smoke was absorbed into his body. Blue Moon¡¯s body started to ache and loosen before he lost all feeling in his limbs and started losing his Awareness gradually.

    At the same time, the smoke drifted over towards Zhao Yao.

    ¡°I merely knocked out that guy just now. I should just put him to sleep as well.¡±

    Just as the man thought of that, his vision blurred before he widened his eyes in rm. ¡°Where did that guy go? Howe he disappeared?¡±

    A sharp pain seized his head. He felt as though a pair of big hands were mping his head and lifting him up.

    The man immediately activated his powers and sted toxins from all the pores of his body. Bursts of purple and yellow gases filled the air around them. Sizzling, cracking sounds could be heard as the walls and floor corroded and chunks of debris fell upon contact with the toxic gases.

    ¡°This guy is dead for sure. I sted out all the toxins at full force. It is so lethal even steel would corrode and dissolve in this. He...¡±

    As the man thought of that, the big hands clutching his head suddenly squeezed hard, causing his skull to crack under the immense pressure.

    He let out an agonizing scream and started thrashing around wildly, trying to break free. However, the hands sping his head were like a mountain that locked his head in position, leaving him defenseless against its clutches.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s head appeared amidst the mass of toxic gases. He took a deep breath and sucked in all the poisonous gases into his mouth at once, much to the horror of the man.

    ck veins crept across his cheeks under the lethal effects of the poisonous substances he inhaled. However, the effects were short-lived and soon disappeared with the power of Ultra Rapid Regeneration.

    Burp!

    Zhao Yao burped out a breath of poisonous gas before he smacked his lips and said, ¡°Feels much better.¡±

    ¡°This guy! He actually sucked in all my poison into his body?!¡± The man stared at Zhao Yao as if he was a monster.

    Zhao Yao smiled and shook the man whom he held in his hands. He licked his lips and asked, ¡°Hey kiddo, what other tricks do you have? Can you squirt out more of that?¡±

    ¡°Mon... monster!¡± The man bellowed as green light sted out from his eyes. Cracks appeared all over his body, as if he was about to explode.

    Zhao Yao frowned. ¡°Troublesome.¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at the ¡®Level 20¡¯bel above the man¡¯s head and decided to switch to other abilities.

    Level 25 Sleep Medusa activated!

    Level 25 Nightmare Lord activated!

    The absolute difference between their power of Awareness caused the guy to sumb immediately.

    The man, who was just about to explode, suddenly rxed as he fell asleep and entered the dreamscape.

    At the same time, Zhao Yao followed the man into the dreamscape.

    ...

    The male apostle opened his eyes and saw hazy, slightly mythical world before him. He immediately regained his senses as he thought to himself, ¡°This is... a dreamscape?¡±

    ¡°Bingo.¡±

    ¡°The male apostle turned to the direction of the sound and saw a gigantic Zhao Yao towering over him. He was standing in Zhao Yao¡¯s palm.

    Zhao Yao said calmly, ¡°The superpower that you just used is not from the Short Fur Tribe, right? From what I know, the cats in the Short Fur Tribe all have the ability of Awareness Distortion. The power you just used was obviously not that which means that there¡¯s some other supercat backing you up.¡±

    The male apostle¡¯s face was aghast. However, he immediately scoffed as he replied, ¡°Humph, do you think I actually will tell you? Dream on.¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed. ¡°I like tough guys like you. Let me just tell you this. The dozens of hours spent in this dreamscape will only amount to only one second in the real world. We have all the time in the world to do this.¡±

    Looking at the sinister smile on Zhao Yao¡¯s face, the male apostle¡¯s expression soured. His Awareness suddenly underwent a drastic change in an attempt to break out of the dreamscape and return to reality.

    Although he did not borrow the power of Awareness Distortion, he still had a Level 20 power of Awareness, which was enough for him to travel through the Awareness Dimension.

    Zhao Yao quickly reacted when he saw that the man was trying to escape. With a thought in his head, Zhao Yao blocked the man¡¯s Awareness. Bam! The man¡¯s Awareness was sent flying back, as if it had knocked into an invisible wall.

    The male apostle heard a hazy voice ringing in his ear.

    ¡°If I let you eat shit, would you prefer sweet or salty?¡±

    ...

    One second passed in the real world before Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes fluttered open and he regained his senses. However, he was still puzzled as he stared at the male apostle before him.

    While in the dreamscape, he had already forced the man to spill out all the information he had.

    Sadly, the man did not know much as well. However, there was definitely a supercat with the ability to secrete poison behind this apostle. Not only the apostles who borrowed the power of poison were engaged in the attack. The cat ves from Ya Xing were there too.

    ¡°Did Ya Xing form an alliance with another group of apostles?¡± Zhao Yao frowned. ¡°That doesn¡¯t make sense. Why would they do that?¡±

    As he thought about it, Zhao Yao threw the male apostle through the dimension portal and continued walking into the depths of the pce.

    ...

    In the backyard of Wheatley¡¯s pce.

    Wheatley was squatting on the floor, one hand pressing against the floor while the other hand was clutching her chest tightly, as she began panting heavily.

    Behind her were ten other cat ves who had sumbed to the poison attack and copsed on the ground, immobilized. ck Dune was one of them. He looked on worriedly as he stared at Wheatley.

    Wheatley thought to herself, ¡°It¡¯s poison? When did the poison appear? Is this an ability of another supercat?¡±

    She looked up. Her pupils constricted into dangerously thin slits as she stared at the person before her in fury. ¡°Snow Mountain! What are you guys trying to do? You attacked me directly, are you crazy?¡±

    In all kinds of internal battles for seizingnd and resources within the Short Fur Tribe, cat ves would always fight against each other and would be easily sacrificed in battle.

    However, in any internal battle, cats were not supposed to be subjected to attacks. This was an ironw established since the founding of the Short Fur Tribe.

    This meant that the death of a human did not matter, but the death of a cat was a shocking crime which countless humans had to pay the price for.

    When questioned, the golden-haired Snow Mountain, chief manager of Wheatley¡¯s cat ves, shook his head and said, ¡°Times have changed. Humans will not be ves forever. Control her!¡±

 Chapter 1011: The Rescue

    <h4>Chapter 1011: The Rescue</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    More than 10 apostles stepped out from behind Snow Mountain. They opened their mouths andrge volumes of poisonous gas spurted out towards Wheatley.

    Wheatley¡¯s face changed when she saw the poisonous gases surging towards her. She suddenly faded into thin air as she activated her power of Awareness and attempted to escape through the Awareness Dimension.

    However, she was pulled back into the real world in the next moment andnded with a loud thud on the floor. She wailed and spat out a mouthful of blood.

    Wheatley stared at Snow Mountain in disbelief. ¡°You sealed the dimension?¡±

    Snow Mountain smirked. A man behind him remarked coldly, ¡°Did you actually think we would let you escape?¡±

    ¡°Ah!¡± Wheatley screamed and unleashed her power of Awareness. Numerous huge blue dragons formed in the air and charged towards Snow Mountain and his men.

    Awareness Skill ¨C Frost Dragon.

    Snow Mountain subconsciously stepped back when he saw the dragons charging towards him. This was a silver level skill of Wheatley¡¯s. Its prowess was just below that of the grey and ck levels. This skill could directly freeze the enemy¡¯s Awareness and evenpletely freeze the enemy¡¯s thoughts, decreasing or even stopping the speed of the enemy¡¯s thought process.

    However, as Snow Mountain backed off, a silver-haired young man stepped forward. With the wave of a hand,yers of Awareness surged forth and erected a ck barrier that blocked off the Frost Dragons.

    Wheatley gasped. ¡°The ck barrier to the silver skill?¡±

    Bam! The Frost Dragons crashed into the ck barrier, shaking it violently. Layers of frost formed on the ck barrier of Awareness and froze itpletely. However, it shattered in the next moment and disappeared into thin air together with the Frost Dragons.

    Seeing how her skill had been blocked, Wheatley was about to strike again when she suddenly felt a surge of dizziness overtaking her senses. She eventually sumbed and fainted.

    Snow Mountain was delighted. ¡°The power of Awareness may be omnipotent, but physical frailty remains the biggest weakness of your kind. Lord ck Cloud, I will leave the rest to you.¡±

    The silver-haired young man who casted the ck barrier just now walked up and conjured several long silver needles in the air.

    Fear shed across Snow Mountain¡¯s eyes as he saw the long silver needles formed from the power of Awareness.

    This was a ck level skill. It was even more powerful than a silver level skill and second only to that of a grey level skill.

    Snow Mountain thought to himself, ¡°Awareness Sealing Needles, a ck level skill that canpletely seal off the target¡¯s Awareness. He actually has a ck skill that was second only to the grey level. The powers of the Cat Hunters are actually that advanced? I¡¯m afraid they have already controlled one of the Short Fur Sages as their puppet.¡±

    One by one, the long needles stabbed Wheatley¡¯s body. After 21 needle stabs, Wheatley¡¯s eyes flew open as she let out a piercing, agonizing scream.

    ck Dune was heartbroken and despondent as he watched the scene unfold before him. ¡°Lord Wheatley!¡± He red at Snow Mountain in fury. ¡°Snow Mountain, have you gone mad? The Sacred Hall will never let you go.¡±

    Snow Mountain scoffed. ¡°You won¡¯t think about that anymore after your Awareness is distorted.¡±

    ¡°Shut up!¡± The silver-haired youth chided and stomped on the back of Wheatley¡¯s head, causing her to faint again. He picked her up and slumped her on his shoulder as he said, ¡°We¡¯ve got Wheatley now. I will bring her back first. You guys stay here to control all the cat ves of hers.¡±

    Right at that moment, sounds of footsteps were heard approaching them. Everyone frowned slightly as they turned to look at the pce corridor from where the sound came from.

    Zhao Yao slowly emerged from the pitch-ck corridor.

    ¡°You didn¡¯t ask for permission before taking away my cat...¡± Zhao Yao stared at the girl in the other party¡¯s hands and decided to rephrase his words. ¡°I mean, taking away my little girl. You guys are really brazen.¡±

    As he was speaking, Zhao Yao nced across the heads of the crowd before fixing his gaze on that of the silver-haired young man, ck Cloud.

    ¡°So you¡¯re Level 29?¡± Zhao Yao frowned as he unleashed Wheatley¡¯s Level 28 abilities through the Cat Prince Costume. ¡°A Level 29 apostle. Is he an apostle from Ya Xing? I can¡¯t beat him with the power of Awareness. If we fight, I¡¯ll have to first destroy his physical body.¡±

    If a supercat or apostle¡¯s original physical form was severely damaged or even killed, his Awareness would be severely damaged as well, which could slowly lead to death.

    The physical bodies of the Short Fur Tribe¡¯s supercats and cat ves could be said to be their biggest weakness. It was not possible for pure Awareness to live on for a long time independently in the physical world. This was also why Tom and Giggle decided to just traverse through the different dimensions using their power of Awareness. As such, even when they arrived on Earth and assumed the bodies of earthling cats and humans, their original physical bodies were kept safe in their own homes.

    ck Dune, who was still immobilized on the floor, became both furious and anxious when he saw Zhao Yao appear. ¡°This guy, why is he still acting cool at this point?! Quick, run and inform the others! s, we are situated within an area where the dimension is closed off. There¡¯s no chance of escape now.¡±

    ¡°Guang Yu?¡± Snow Mountain was bewildered when he saw Zhao Yao. He frowned in confusion as he asked, ¡°You weren¡¯t poisoned?¡±

    Using the abilities of the poison apostles, the whole of Wheatley¡¯s pce had been engulfed in thick fumes of paralysis poison. All the cat ves who borrowed Wheatley¡¯s ability were poisoned instantly, rendering them unable to use their abilities.

    ck Cloud, who was carrying Wheatley on his shoulder, stared at Zhao Yao with interest as he sensed the power of Awareness emanating from the other party¡¯s body. He said, ¡°So you¡¯re Guang Yu, the new apostle that Wheatley epted? You¡¯re not bad and you have good qualities. Do you want to join us?¡±

    Zhao Yao also stared back at ck Cloud curiously and asked, ¡°Yeah, I think your qualities are pretty good too. Do you want to work for me? I cover all five social insurances and housing.¡±

    ck Cloud frowned. Though he did not understand what Zhao Yao just said, the snobbery in his words did not escape him.

    ¡°You have a death wish,¡± ck Cloud remarked coldly. ¡°You¡¯ll be obedient after I brainwash you.¡±

    In that instant, a surge of Awareness arose.

    Zhao Yao, who came prepared, did not even give ck Cloud a chance to cast his power of Awareness. He activated the power of Time Freeze and appeared right in front of ck Cloud. His palm mmed right through ck Cloud¡¯s body as blood started bursting out.

    He proceeded to take away Wheatley and entered the dimension portal.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s conversation with the young man just now was not for nothing. He was buying time to switch his powers and prepare the dimension portal.

    This way, he was leaving himself a route to retreat in battle. This, coupled with the revival ability as his ultimate safety, were the crucial points in Zhao Yao¡¯s battle style.

    Aftering back through the dimension portal, Zhao Yao stopped the Time Freeze and turned to look at ck Cloud, whom he had attacked.

    When time resumed its flow, ck Cloud copsed in a pool of blood after being attacked by Zhao Yao. However, the power of Awareness continued surging out from his body.

    Zhao Yao immediately reacted. ¡°This is not his original form? So he only possessed it?¡±

    The physical bodies of the Short Fur Tribe¡¯s supercats and cat ves were their biggest weakness. Once their physical bodies were killed, their awareness would sporadically dissipate and eventually disappear into thin air.

 Chapter 1012: Dissipation

    <h4>Chapter 1012: Dissipation</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    Supercats like Wheatley thus sought to switch to the body of an unborn human child to preserve their lives and attain a new physical form.

    However, if only their possessed bodies were killed, the impact on their awareness would be insignificant.

    That was the case with ck Cloud. Once the body he possessed was killed, his awareness immediately jumped out and transferred to another apostle nearby. Right after that, he activated his Awareness Skill.

    Lightning Thoughts ¨C Speed of thought process and speed of transfer of Awareness increased by 10 times.

    The whole world seemed to have slowed down in ck Cloud¡¯s eyes. The speed at which the power of Awareness was being transferred increased rapidly.

    However, despite the high speed at which his eyeballs moved around, he did not see a trace of Zhao Yao or Wheatley. ¡°Eh? Where did he go?¡±

    Unknown to ck Cloud, Zhao Yao had already brought Wheatley to hide in a different space. With a thought in his head, a series of Awareness Skills were continuously unleashed within a short span of 0.1 seconds.

    Mark of Awareness ¨C Identify the target for an Awareness attack.

    Ivory Light ¨C Awareness transforms into numerous Lightsabers that can pierce, slice, break through the target¡¯s Awareness and burn the target¡¯s Awareness.

    Divine Speed ¨C Increase the speed and distance at which the power of Awareness spreads.

    A Lightsaber formed from the power of Awareness appeared in ck Cloud¡¯s body and began to expand and burn rapidly.

    ¡°Damn!¡±

    The next moment, he saw the Ivory Light flicker slightly before it stopped moving altogether. ck Cloud was confused. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Where did they escape to?¡±

    Zhao Yao, who was hiding in the dimension portal, did not stop his attacks. Looking at ck Cloud who was still activating his powers, Zhao Yao activated the power of Time Freeze again.

    After a short while, ck Cloud only felt like his vision blurred momentarily before he realized that everyone else around him had disappeared.

    ¡°Damn you!¡± ck Cloud immediately realized what was going on and tried to run away.

    Zhao Yao hid in the dimension portal and lightly flicked his fingers. Two coins shot through both legs of ck Cloud¡¯s, who copsed on the floor immediately.

    ck Cloud¡¯s face changed as he knew he was in trouble.

    Everyone around him had been brought into the Extradimensional Belly in the time when Zhao Yao activated Time Freeze. This meant that ck Cloud did not have any other physical body he could possess.

    In the back yard garden area, he had sealed the dimension to prevent Wheatley from escaping. Yet now, this meant that he would be trapped here as well, as he could not run away by escaping into the Awareness Dimension.

    At that moment, ck Cloud was shockingly sealed to die within that physical body.

    At the same time, in the dimension portal, Zhao Yao stared at ck Cloud, whoy motionless on the floor. He did not continue attacking but instead observed him carefully.

    ¡°The power of Awareness cannot interfere with the physical world, it can only affect the Awareness of others. Different kinds of Awareness Skills are only effective if they are used on the Awareness of others.¡±

    ¡°Although Awareness can be used to traverse the Awareness Dimension, it still has no choice but to rely on a physical body to exist in the physical world.¡±

    ¡°This guy has no other physical bodies to possess around him now. He can¡¯t travel in the Awareness Dimension as well. Will he just be trapped here?¡±

    ¡°If I kill him now, what will happen to his Awareness?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought about it with a lot of curiosity. ¡°Be exposed in the physical world? Or will it be an instant death?¡±

    He lightly flicked his finger again and a coin had already shot through ck Cloud¡¯s head.

    Zhao Yao immediately sensed a strong surge of Awareness emanating from the corpse. It floated in the air briefly before it flew off into the distance at high speed.

    However, even Zhao Yao could sense that the big blob of Awareness was dissipating at an astonishing pace as it flew around in the physical world. It was as if his Awareness was free falling from a cliff.

    LV 28... LV27... LV26... LV25... LV24...

    Looking at the numbers that were diminishing as the Awareness flew away, Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°Looks like without a physical body, Awareness diminishes greatly when exposed in its pure form in the physical world.¡±

    On the other hand, ck Cloud could feel that his power of Awareness was deteriorating. Just as he thought he could finally escape, he felt a surge of hot air assaulting his senses.

    Zhao Yao appeared in front of him and turned Diana¡¯s Level 25 power of Awareness into invisible mes that sted towards him.

    Maroon Level Skill ¨C Scorching Sun.

    At the same time, Wheatley¡¯s Level 28 power of Awareness immediately surged out from the Cat Prince Costume to attack. Previously, Zhao Yao realized that the Cat Prince Costume could only borrow Wheatley¡¯s basic ability and power of Awareness, it did not include the skills that Wheatley had learnt.

    Just like other cat ves, he had to learn new skills on his own after borrowing the ability.

    However, using the powers of a Level 28 Awareness against that of a Level 25 was more than enough to defeat the immensely weakened ck Cloud.

    Zhao Yao noticed that the moment he attacked, ck Cloud felt the invisible mes scorching his own Awareness. He screamed in agony and wanted to escape, but his weakened Awareness was defenseless against the scourge of mes from the Scorching Sun. After being attacked by a Level 28 power of Awareness, his own Awareness exploded and dissipated into thin air.

    At the same time, the Awareness Sealing Needles on Wheatley¡¯s body slowly disappeared as ck Cloud died.

    ¡°Is he gone for good?¡± Zhao Yao thought to himself. ¡°This shows that having a high level of Awareness doesn¡¯t make one undefeatable at all. Thebination of abilities is equally important as well.¡±

    ¡°One¡¯s original physical form and body are very crucial for the power of Awareness. With a weakness like that in the Short Fur Tribe, I wonder if the strongmen amongst them had any counteractive measures in ce to tackle this weakness.¡±

    Zhao Yao pursed his lips. He pulled out the crowd from the dimension portal again. Wheatley, ck Dune, Snow Mountain, and the rest were all knocked out by him and had no idea about what had just happened.

    After a few minutes, Wheatley was the first to regain consciousness. The moment she awoke, she was utterly shocked as she realized that the Awareness Sealing Needles on her body werepletely gone.

    She stared at Zhao Yao in front of her and asked in confusion, ¡°Guang Yu, what happened? Where did that man go?¡±

    Everyone else slowly regained consciousness. All of them were shocked and bewildered when they saw Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°I don¡¯t know. I fought with that man for a while and got attacked a few times before he fled.¡±

    ¡°Humph, I knew it. That guy isn¡¯t much stronger than me. If I wasn¡¯t poisoned, he wouldn¡¯t be a match for me. He must have been injured from fighting with me,¡± Wheatley said. ¡°Guang Yu, you borrowed 70% to 80% of my power, of course he would be scared and run away.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes in his heart. For goodness sake, the Level 28 and Level 29bels above their heads were very clear. It was clearly not a slight difference. If not for the fact that he had other superpowers to kill the physical body and attack in hiding, it would have been impossible to defeat the other party by relying on Wheatley¡¯s ability alone.

    However, since Wheatley was able to imagine all these self-fulfilling fantasies so quickly, it saved the need for Zhao Yao to exin what had happened.

    Wheatley continued, ¡°Oh right. Where¡¯s Snow Mountain? Where did he go?¡±

    Zhao Yao nced at Snow Mountain, who was lying behind the dimension portal. He shook his head and said, ¡°I think he left too. I didn¡¯t notice him.¡±

    ¡°D*mn it! He got away,¡± Wheatley raged. ¡°The next time I see him I will castrate him!¡±

    The other cat ves who regained consciousness stared at Zhao Yao in admiration. Though they did not know why the other party retreated, the fact that he could fight against them alone and save Wheatley was a super impressive feat in itself.

    As such, Wheatley began to trust Zhao Yao more and more. She looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Guang Yu! I will allow you to sleep with me tonight!¡±

    When he heard Wheatley¡¯s words, Zhao Yao was dazed. Countless scenarios shed across his mind. He stared at Wheatley in a trance.

    ck Dune immediately interjected, ¡°Lord Wheatley, that doesn¡¯t sound right?¡±

    Wheatley said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with that! I want to hug Guang Yu to sleep today!¡± As she said that, she pounced on him and grabbed his elbows as she giggled. ¡°You¡¯re so big, hugging you will definitely make me warm!¡±

    As she said that, she began bumping her head against Zhao Yao, behaving just like a cat. She wanted to transfer her scent onto Zhao Yao and proim ownership over Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°Hugging me to sleep? There are some cats that will hug each other to sleep when they¡¯re really close to each other. This girl is treating me like a cat? But given how much she trusts me now, does this mean I will be able to learn even more powerful skills? It would be best if I could learn some skills rted to the Awareness country and Closers World...¡±

    Wheatley knew no boundaries between man and woman. However, ck Dune and the cat ves beside her did not think the same way. They tried their best to dissuade Wheatley, but were shut off by Wheatley at once.

    The cat ves watched with hatred in their eyes as Wheatley hugged Zhao Yao tightly, bumping Zhao Yao with her body repeatedly.

    Finally, ck Dune¡¯s eyes lit up as he said, ¡°Lord Wheatley, the cat ves that attacked us this time had poison as their superpower. It must be an attack from another supercat group. Even though Snow Mountain and the rest have left, they could attack us at any moment. We need to report this to the higher ups immediately.¡±

    ¡°Yeah!¡± Wheatley, who was still hugging Zhao Yao and bumping him, immediately looked up and said, ¡°Then you guys shall rest first. I will go find Father and report this matter to him!:

    As she said that, Wheatley had already ran off. Her body disappeared as she entered the Awareness Dimension.

    After Wheatley left, ck Dune was about to say something when Zhao Yao beat him to it and said, ¡°I¡¯m so tired, I will go and rest first. See you tomorrow.¡± The next moment, he had already disappeared into the Awareness Dimension.

    Once he returned to the Extradimensional Belly, Zhao Yao stared at Snow Mountain whom he purposely kept. He could feel that the other party had no ounce of Awareness in him. It was because Wheatley retracted her powers after finding out he betrayed her.

    Being a normal human without any superpowers, he had no chance of escaping the Extradimensional Belly. Zhao Yao decided to wake him up and stabbed him with the Dragon ying Saber under his astonished gaze.

    After stabbing him with the Dragon ying Saber for a few times, Snow Mountain was reduced to a face full of sweat and tears.

    When he saw Zhao Yao raise the Dragon ying Saber again, he immediately shouted, ¡°Guang Yu! What do you want from me? Just say it! Stop using this dagger! I would rather die than let you stab me again!¡±

    Zhao Yao stared at Snow Mountain as he asked, ¡°Who ordered you guys toe? Who¡¯s the force supporting you guys?¡±

    ¡°They are the Cat Hunters,¡± Snow Mountain confessed, drenched in cold sweat. ¡°They were founded with the mission to reform the Short Fur Tribe so that humans can be the masters instead.¡±

    Snow Mountain suddenlyughed at Zhao Yao. ¡°You think helping Wheatley is the right thing to do? You¡¯re willing to be the ves of these cats for the rest of your life? You helping these cats is equivalent to harming the human race. The Cat Hunters will never let you go...¡±

    Zhao Yao just stabbed him with the dagger again. He asked as the man screamed in agony, ¡°Tell me all that you know about the Cat Hunters.¡±

    Zhao Yao had his guesses about a group like the Cat Hunters before this.

    After all, in a ce like Earth where humans reigned, there were supercats who would want to overthrow the humans and rule over them instead.

    In the world of the Short Fur Tribe where supercats are the rulers, there would naturally be humans who would want to overthrow supercats and control them.

    From the information Zhao Yao obtained from Snow Mountain, the Cat Hunters indeed had the backing of other supercats that were not from the Short Fur Tribe.

    Snow Mountain continued, ¡°I think it might be the supercats from the Long Fur Tribe. After all, they have all kinds of abilities. For a long time, our Short Fur Tribe has always formed an alliance with the Furless Tribe to resist the Long Fur Tribe. I think the possibility of the Long Fur Tribe assisting the Cat Hunters to stir internal strife within the Short Fur Tribe is very high.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head. He did not take Snow Mountain¡¯s words to be the whole truth, and no matter how he questioned him afterwards, he was not able to get any more information out of him. Hence, he snapped his fingers and Midnight and Lang Gou, who had been waiting at the side, walked up and dragged Snow Mountain away.

    Snow Mountain asked in rm, ¡°What are you guys trying to do?¡±

    Midnight gave him a small smile. ¡°Bro, you might not be used to it at the start, but after a while, you will realize that life here can be pretty fulfilling too.¡±

    As he watched Snow Mountain being brought away in a daze by the two guys, Zhao Yaoy on the sofa as his eyes sparkled in deep thought. No one knew what he was thinking about.

    Early in the morning the next day, the moment Zhao Yao returned to Frosted Teeth City, ck Dune summoned him to the main hall of the pce. He saw Wheatley seated at the throne as usual, dangling her little legs around.

    However, Wheatley also held a ck cat in her arms today.

    The moment the ck cat saw Zhao Yao enter the main hall, he fixed his gaze on Zhao Yao as if he was interrogating him.

    The moment Zhao Yao saw the ck cat, his gaze turned serious as he stared at the cat¡¯s head. He began to panic in his heart as he thought, ¡°Level 49? Is this cat Wheatley¡¯s father?¡±

    The ck cat stared at Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°Wheatley, is he, Guang Yu?¡±

    Wheatley nodded and patted the ck cat¡¯s head lovingly as she said, ¡°What do you think? My new cat ve is amazing right? He can inherit 70% to 80% of my powers now!¡±

    The ck cat¡¯s eyes flickered ever so slightly. He immediately activated his Awareness Distortion power. The Level 49 power seized control of Zhao Yao immediately before he asked, ¡°It was you that battled the attacker yesterday. They ran away just like that?¡±

    Under the effect of Awareness Distortion, Zhao Yao was unable to lie at all and just said, ¡°Yeah, our powers of Awareness shed three times before the other party ran away.¡±

    ¡°Do you know the other party? Do you know who they are? Are you an aplice?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know them. I don¡¯t know.¡±

    Wheatley rubbed the ck cat¡¯s head as she said, ¡°Daddy, why are you controlling my cat ve? He¡¯s mine! Mine!¡±

    The ck cat narrowed his eyes and released his control on Zhao Yao. He just repliedzily, ¡°I¡¯m just trying to see if he was lying. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t snatch away your cat ves. Ahhh, massage my neck a bit more. Exert more pressure.¡±

    However, Zhao Yao exhaled slightly, knowing that he had passed the test for the time being.

    At the same time, Matcha, Diana, Catherine and Dust Ball who were hiding in the dimension portal finally heaved a sigh of relief. If something had happened to Zhao Yao or if he was totally controlled, they would need Matcha to activate Time Freeze and use the Rice Cake de to kill Zhao Yao and allow him to revive.

    Matcha thought to himself, ¡°Luckily Zhao Yao let Caesar erase his memories of yesterday and made us tell him the whole process of the battle. In this way, he would truly believe that the other part fled first. As such, he said that as well when he was being controlled.

    Due to his exaggerated trust in the Awareness Distortion power, the ck cat only said to Zhao Yao after confirming that he was not lying, ¡°Human, you are very good. Yesterday you saved my daughter. I will give you a reward for that. What do you want?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes brightened as he immediately said, ¡°I want to learn many more strong Awareness Skills. I also want to... want to borrow your superpower, to see what a powerful Awareness is like.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 1014: Learning Skills and the Third Cat</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    Both Wheatley and her father were shocked when they heard Zhao Yao¡¯s words.

    The ck cat stared at Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°Are you sure you want to borrow my ability? You are not my cat ve. Even if I lend it to you, it will only be for a short while. There would almost be no chance of me lending it to you next time. If you ask for other rewards, you can get even better things.¡±

    ¡°Yes, I am sure of it.¡± Zhao Yao pretended to sound agitated as he said, ¡°My passion lies in seeking the power of Awareness. I want to experience how an immensely strong Awareness is like. I worship a power like that, and I want to feel such a power.¡±

    The ck cat nodded. It was as if it was not his first time seeing a human who worshipped the power of Awareness. He just said, ¡°I can gift you with my power for a short while. As for your first request...¡±

    The ck cat asked curiously, ¡°What skill do you want to learn?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought about it for a while. The Awareness country skill was definitely out of the question for him. It would obviously reveal his ambition and invite suspicion from the cats.

    ¡°ording to Tom, the Awareness country skill is also one of the highest level grey skills in the Short Fur Tribe. In that case...¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the ck cat and said, ¡°I want to learn a grey skill.¡±

    Everyone at the scene was dazed by what he had just asked for, even the ck cat. However, the ck cat burst out inughter the next moment and said, ¡°Young man, you have such a huge appetite. Do you know what a grey level skill represents? That is the Short Fur Tribe¡¯s strongest, most profound and most secretive knowledge. Learning it is limited even to only a few cats in the Short Fur Tribe. A cat ve like you actually wants to learn a grey skill?¡±

    Zhao Yao was evidently disappointed. ¡°So there is no chance of a cat ve learning a grey skill at all?¡±

    Wheatley, who was sitting on the throne, kept on rubbing the ck cat¡¯s head as she said, ¡°Dad! He¡¯s my favorite cat ve! He even saved my life! Quick, think of a way to let him learn a grey skill!¡±

    The ck cat¡¯s eyes were half-closed from being rubbed continuously. His words staggered as he said, ¡°Wheatley, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to let him learn. There are rules up there. Grey level skills are not meant to be learnt by just anyone in the first ce. Every grey level skill is developed and created from the hard work and effort of each generation of great supercats. Grey level skills are so magnificent they have the power to control hundreds of millions of living souls, change entire civilizations and their histories. How can it be passed to a mere cat ve?¡±

    The ck cat stared at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Guang Yu, I cannot teach you a grey skill. If you really want to learn, I can try to think of a way to teach you a ck skill instead.¡±

    Zhao Yao knew he could not force the cat, so he nodded and agreed. ¡°A ck skill is fine too. But can I learn the Dimension Seal skill?¡±

    Zhao Yao had been coveting that skill ever since he saw ck Cloud use it. If he could learn this skill, it would greatly improve the quality of his battle prowess.

    The ck cat smiled as he shook his head. ¡°Dimension Seal? That¡¯s a battle skill.¡±

    Wheatley rubbed the ck cat frantically as she shouted, ¡°Dad!¡±

    The ck cat conceded. ¡°Okay, okay. I¡¯ll think of a way to do that. Wait for more information from me.¡±

    The ck cat proceeded to let Zhao Yaoe forward to receive his ability.

    ¡°It will only be for a short while, alright? I will retract my powers once you¡¯ve experienced it.¡±

    As the ck cat said that, he pressed his cat paw on Zhao Yao¡¯s chest. Within moments, a strong surge of Awareness was transferred from the ck cat¡¯s body to that of Zhao Yao¡¯s. In fact, it was actually transferred to the Cat Prince Costume.

    Zhao Yao removed Wheatley¡¯s ability from the costume so that it could ept the ck cat¡¯s abilities.

    He smiled excitedly when he saw that a new Level 49 Awareness Distortion ability had appeared in the Cat Prince Costume.

    ¡°In this way, I can directly use a Level 49 power of Awareness. Combined with other superpowers, my battle prowess will reach a whole new level of greatness.¡±

    ¡°However, this Level 49 abilityes from Wheatley¡¯s father. I can¡¯t upgrade it or use its associated skills. I still have to rely on my own cats to be stronger.¡±

    Although he managed to borrow a Level 49 superpower, Zhao Yao understood that it was more for bullying those below Level 49. He might not actually be able to defeat the supercats that had mastered various skills on top of the power of Awareness, even if they were a few levels below Level 49.

    On the other hand, the ck cat that was lending Zhao Yao his powers stared at Zhao Yao in astonishment as he remarked, ¡°You could actually absorb so much power? You could absorb a lot of Wheatley¡¯s power previously too right? Does this mean that you have an especially strongpatibility with our family of cats?¡±

    When she saw the ck cat¡¯s expression change, Wheatley immediately rubbed the ck cat¡¯s face hard and said, ¡°Dad, don¡¯t you dare think of taking Guang Yu. He is my cat ve! I am going to sleep with him!¡±

    The moment the ck cat heard that, he whipped his head around and red at Zhao Yao murderously.

    This was Wheatley¡¯s first reincarnation and her first time being a human girl. She did not know the boundaries between man and woman, but her father was very clear about them.

    Stroking a cat was fine, but cuddling with a human as cat in a human girl form? Or be cuddled? The thought of that was perverted enough.

    He red at Zhao Yao viciously as he said to Wheatley, ¡°Wheatley, you¡¯re not allowed to sleep with humans from now on. Do you understand?¡±

    ¡°Huh? Why is that?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no why! It¡¯s just not allowed.¡± After hismand, the ck cat gave Zhao Yao a stern look of warning before his body faded into the air. A voice rang out in the air that said, ¡°I lent you my ability. You can try it out for a while, after which I will take it back. The Dimension Seal is also not a skill that any cat ve can learn. I will think of a way for you. I¡¯ll get back to you again.¡±

    As he watched the ck cat disappear in the air, Zhao Yao had no choice but to direct his next question to Wheatley. He asked, ¡°Wheatley, what are we going to do about Ya Xing?¡±

    The apostles that ambushed the pce and held Wheatley captive had the help of Ya Xing¡¯s apostles as well. Zhao Yao had already suspected that Ya Xing was also being controlled by the Cat Hunters. Now that Wheatley¡¯s father left, he could only ask Wheatley about it.

    Wheatley shook her head. ¡°Dad went to check out Ya Xing already. Ya Xing and his cat ves and have disappeared.¡± As she said that, Wheatley¡¯s face became worried. ¡°They may have been taken away by the Cat Hunters. Dad is worried that the Cat Hunters wille for me again. He said he will send a cat ve over to protect me.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded. He only asked about Ya Xing casually, but the biggest problem for him was still learning new skills. He did not expect the Short Fur Tribe to be so strictly guarded around the learning of new skills. Grey skills were totally banned from being passed on to humans. Learning a ck skill would be subject to Wheatley¡¯s father¡¯s approval. This meant that there were many obstacles ahead for him if he wanted to learn new skills.

    ¡°If I really can¡¯t learn new skills as a cat ve, I will have to adopt a different course to do that.¡±

    For the next few days, Zhao Yao showed up in the Frosted Teeth City every day to tell Wheatley some stories and wait for news from Wheatley¡¯s father. Most of his remaining time was spent on Earth, where he connected to Closers World to upgrade the evolution progress of his own supercats.

    After all, to increase the evolution progress through Closers World, Zhao Yao has to physically enter the game. Hence, he spent most of his time everyday staying in Closers World.

    Since he could not upgrade Closers World itself, the other fastest way for Zhao Yao to be stronger was to upgrade his remaining supercats to Level 25.

    After a week, Zhao Yao was able to upgrade his evolution progress immensely due to the presence of 30 million yers being online in the game. Atst, he was able to upgrade Matcha to Level 25.

    Level 25 Matcha had his cooling down period for Time Distortion revival reduced to 165 minutes.

    The speeding effect of Boiling Point also increased by 25 times.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s capability in the physical world had reached another peak.

    ¡°The next cat...¡± After Matcha reached Level 25, it was time to upgrade a different cat. Zhao Yao nced around before he set his sight on Elizabeth.

    <h4>Chapter 1015: Observe</h4>

    In the coffee shop, Zhao Yao was lying on the familiar chair. His conscious had already entered Closers World to collect awareness for evolution.

    Once he entered Closers World, Zhao Yao felt that there was a strong energy surging into his body.

    Elizabeth¡¯s progress bar was increasing drastically in the Book and she reached Lv11 in five minutes.

    Zhao Yao frowned in dissatisfaction. This was slower than Matcha¡¯s leveling up.

    ¡°Looks like the attention of the yers in the game is no longer on me.¡±

    This situation could not be allowed to get worse. Zhao Yao decided to change something.

    Then, a line of words appeared in the sky. Zhao Yao used his administrative rights to speak.

    Zhao Yao wrote, ¡°Everyone stop and listen to me!¡±

    Countless people looked into the sky out of curiosity.

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°I am envious of all of you, because you guys get to live in the same era as me!¡±

    Not long after he spoke, Zhao Yao saw the increase in the evolution of the Book. He felt that the collection speed was fast again. It was about the same speed as Matcha¡¯s.

    ¡°Not bad. I knew that something had to be done.¡±

    After breaking through the Lv10 limit and entering Lv11. Elizabeth had activated evolution and had be drastically stronger.

    However, Elizabeth did not have a selection as to which direction he should improve on. Zhao Yao¡¯s assumption was that Matcha¡¯s powers emphasized both Time Distortion and Time Freeze from Lv1 to Lv10. But, Elizabeth¡¯s powers only had an emphasis on illusion, hence she did not need to select.

    Starting from Lv11, Elizabeth¡¯s illusions were not only transmitted via sound waves. She could create an illusion from awareness energy by imnting it directly into their awareness.

    It is also starting from Lv11, Elizabeth¡¯s illusion was improved due to the awareness energy. After someone was under an illusion, their bodies would have a certain reaction to the illusion.

    For example, if they were stabbed in the illusion in reality, a wound would appear on their body too. If they were burnt in the illusion, there would also have physical injuries.

    Injuries suffered in the illusion would be reflected in reality.

    However, the percentage damage is not high enough. Lv11 only has 1% damage and Lv12 has only 2% damage. Even at Lv100 the percentage can only reach 90%.

    Zhao Yao understood that this skill had a huge amount of potential. Afterall, illusions were more than ordinary cuts and burns. There were other endless ways to bring about harm and even if they would only have a small part reflected onto reality, it was still very powerful.

    Zhao Yao was surprised by how strong Elizabeth was. He waved his palm and then his position in Closers World changed drastically. He was on top of a valley instantly as he observed the map.

    ¡°Let¡¯s look at how Strangle is doing...¡±

    Then, he saw Tom and Strangle had tworge golden wings on their backs and wore luminous gloves on their paws. They brought their tribe of supercats to fight with another tribe of supercats.

    It was battle of tribes in Closers World

    One side was the Short Fur Tribe formed by Strangle and Tom. The other side was Zhao Yao¡¯s cat, Gaia¡¯s tribe.

    Both tribes had one simrity, it was that they only recruited cat yers. There were no humans in the tribe.

    When Zhao Yao made an announcement, he purposely left this area out, so as to not affect Strangle. Hence, they were still fighting.

    In the fight, Strangle opened his mouth and released a shock wave. He yelled at the enemy in a distance. ¡°Fat Cat! If you still do note out, I will destroy your tribe today!¡±

    Tom yelled behind him. ¡°Strangle...¡±

    ¡°Call me Brother Strangle!¡±

    ¡°Brother Strangle, aren¡¯t we charging too much?¡± Tom yelled.

    ¡°What is there to be afraid of?¡± Strangle looked at his glove and said excitedly. ¡°I can let my +12 ws have a taste of fresh blood.¡±

    Zhao Yao was watching the battle in the sky and he saw that Strangle killed countless cats as he charged. Gaia was thest to appear and at first, they wereparable. After a while, Strangle had better skills and still won. Gaia yelled a few threats and escaped. The cats beside Strangle were praising Strangle continuously.

    ¡°Not bad.¡± Zhao Yao nodded. ¡°He seems to be enjoying this.¡±

    Although with Zhao Yao¡¯s capabilities, he could easily kill or capture Lv20 Strangle that would rm the enemy unnecessarily and attract the mastermind behind Strangle and Tom.

    Hence, Zhao Yao asked the supercats under him to y with Strangle. Especially with Gaia as the opponent. Everytime, he would just lose by a bit or sometimes even win. This was to let Strangle get obsessed with ying Closers World.

    When Strangle was immersed in Closers World, he was also using Tom¡¯s way to gain attention and strengthen his awareness.

    Strangle was immersed in the idea of being able to y, be stronger and acting cool. He was not even willing to report this back and involve the other cats in this.

    When Zhao Yao saw that nothing was going wrong, he suddenly received a message on his Wechat. It was Uncle Ho.

    Uncle Ho: ¡°Zhao Yao, are you free? We need your help.¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°I¡¯m not free.¡±

    Uncle Ho continued, ¡°It is just talking to our apostles. Teach them some things and boost their morale.¡±

    Zhao Yao tugged the corners of his mouth. He knew that this wasn¡¯t this simple. With his position in the supernatural realm, any action that he took would be read differently by different people and create many political influences.

    However, he was not interested in knowing. He really did not have the time to do it.

    Uncle Ho continued, ¡°Zhao Yao, we will not ask you to do it for free. You just have toe over and say a few sentences. There will be a production crew filming and there will be many overseas media reporting on this too..¡±

    ¡°Broadcasted on TV?¡± Zhao Yao hesitated. He has never been on a proper TV show yet. The thought of being able to go on TV was tempting. It could increase his fame and he would get all the limelight. It was also useful for increasing the number of yers in Closers World, which in turn was useful for umting energy.

    ¡°Uncle Ho, I really don¡¯t have the time to...¡± Zhao Yao thought about it and rejected the offer. He needed to level up five cats to Lv25 quickly and unlock the upper limit of Lv25.

    However, Zhao Yao stopped in the middle of his sentence.

    Mission: Talk

    Mission Objective: Complete Uncle Ho¡¯s request and talk on TV to encourage the young apostles.

    Reward: 1000 experience points

    Punishment: None

    Uncle Ho. ¡°... furthermore you will be paid and it will only take you one hour...¡±

    ¡°Okay, I will be there.¡±

    ¡°There is only one path for apostles. It is like swimming against the current, you either advance or fall behind. In such a short period of time, I have managed to be invincible, it is all because of hard work.¡±

    On the stage, Zhao Yao wore formal wear and he was giving his speech in front of all the apostles and media solemnly.

    Countless people were watching Zhao Yao in front of the TV.

    Zhao Xue was lying on the coach in the mansion and looked at Zhao Yao who was speaking on TV. She tugged the corners of her mouth and was envious of her brother.

    Zhao Yao continued on TV, ¡°... I have to thank one person for all the great achievements I have made.¡±

    Zhao Xue¡¯s eyes glimmered. ¡°Is my brother going to thank me?¡±

    In Extradimensional Belly, Matcha grinned. ¡°Zhao Yao was wrong, he should thank a cat.¡±

    Uncle Ho, who was below the stage, was suddenly very nervous. ¡°Technically I helped Zhao Yao too. If he is to thank me, should I stand up?...¡±

    Zhao Yao: ¡°The person I want to thank is, myself!

    I have to thank myself for being so diligent. I also have to thank my own efforts. If it wasn¡¯t that I started working hard from the year my powers awakened and built a strong foundation for myself, I would not have such capabilities today.¡±

    Zhao Xue spat out the coke in her mouth. It was not a normal spit. Zhao Xue caused the TV in front of her to explode.

    ¡°What?!¡±

    Zhao Xue had to stand up to clean the mess. ¡°I have been borrowing powers from Sphynx cat to train. I think I¡¯ve be too strong.¡± Then, she thought about it, ¡°Then, what is going to happen when I get married? Will I identally kill someone in my sleep?¡±

    Meanwhile, Uncle Ho was in dismay. He told his men. ¡°Rush him. Ask him to end the speech quickly.¡±

    Then, Zhao Yao took out a bag of catmint.

    Zhao Yao: ¡°Apostles¡¯ powers originate from supercats and for a supercat to be stronger, their food is very important.

    I do not dare to let my cats eat normal catmint. This is the catmint my family nted and it is handmade. Now, I am advertising it. I hope that every cat will be able to eat nutritious and healthy food.

    Furthermore, if you purchase our Dust Ball catmint today, you can participate in the equipment lucky draw. You will stand a chance to get a +10 equipment in Closers World...¡±

    Upon seeing that Zhao Yao had started advertising on stage, Uncle Ho covered his face. He wanted to but was unable to stop Zhao Yao¡¯s actions.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao was very satisfied with this activity. Hepleted his mission and managed to get 1000*2 experience points and increase his poprity. It paved the foundation for increasing the limit for Closers World and for its evolution.

    The best thing he could do was advertise. Zhao Yao used himself to advertise Dust Ball catmint. Then, the domestic market would increase drastically and Zhao Yao would have more chance for the lucky draw.

    After doing all of this, Zhao Yao changed his face shape and avoided all the reporters, officials, businessmen, and apostles to return back to the quiet cafe.

    Upon entering the cafe, Zhao Yao saw that Ning Ning was sitting at the front desk and staring at her phone. She was watching the video of his speech.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up and pretended to ask casually, ¡°Ning Ning, What are you watching?¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao speaking,¡± Ning Ning said. ¡°He is so hardworking. He can achieve such great achievements all because of his hard work and determination. It is just that he looks too ordinary...¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned and sat onto the lounge chair out of dissatisfaction. Then, his ears twitched.

    Soon, the bell on the cafe door rang. Yang Hui and Lee Shuyao came to the cafe together again.

    Lee Shuyao carried a cat bag and walked passed Zhao Yao. In the bag was a silver British Shorthair.

    Lee Shuyao walked beside Zhao Yao and saw that Zhao Yao was lying on the lounge chair. She thought, ¡°Stupid Otaku, I shall try to use the cat to attract his attention.¡±

    She smiled and said, ¡°Boos, this is Nana. She hasn¡¯t been obedient. I hope that you can help discipline her.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the cat bag with interest. ¡°Your cat? Is it a supercat? Let me see it.¡±

    Upon seeing that Zhao Yao opened the bag in curiosity and taking Nana out, Lee Shuyao thought to herself, ¡°lt is true that he likes cats. This is the correct way...¡±

    Yang Hui, who was sitting in a distance with Ning Ning, frowned and thought, ¡°What is she doing? Why does she like toe to this cafe to look for this owner? Is she interested in the owner? But... the difference between them is huge.¡±

    Meanwhile, Matcha was lying on the table and there was a pair of white gloves that was hugging his head. He curled up and slept soundly.

    However, Matcha felt like there was a cat patting him, he looked up to see Lightning and frowned. ¡°Why did you wake me up?¡±

    Lightning was excited. ¡°Look! There is a pretty cat.¡±

    Matcha nced at Nana that was carried by Zhao Yao and closed his eyes. ¡°She is still okay. Maybe a seven.¡±

    ¡°She is so pretty and she is only a seven?¡± Lightning was in disbelief. ¡°She is so cute. If I was on her, I wouldn¡¯t even bear to move.¡±

    ¡°Wouldn¡¯t bear to move?¡± Matcha sneered. ¡°All I can see is that you can¡¯t wait to f*ck her.¡±

    Lightning: ¡°What are you talking about! How can you defame a cat like that?¡±

    Zhao Yao was looking at Nana with great interest and he stroked her after cing her on the table. He smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid Nana, you have to be obedient and listen to your owner.¡±

    Nana couldn¡¯t stop trembling as she stared at Zhao Yao helplessly. ¡°What is going on? Why do I feel so suffocated when I see this guy. Why does my body keep shivering? Why... why do I see cat spirits lying on him?!¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Nana, who was lying on the table obediently. He raised his head and looked at Lee Shuyao. ¡°She is pretty obedient. It is just that she is too timid. You have to bring her out often.¡±

    Lee Shuyao nodded her head and asked further. ¡°Oh. Nana keeps staying home and doesn¡¯t really go out. Boss, you are an experienced cat owner, you need to help me.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Lee Shuyao and nodded his head with admiration. What an innocent and serious cat lover. Her responsible attitude and the spirit of learning was so much better than Zhao Xue and Ning Ning.

    At the same time, Zhao Yao took out a bag of Dust Ball Catmint. ¡°Shuyao, has your cat tried catmint?¡±

    Half an hourter, Lee Shuyao and Yang Hui were carrying a box of Dust Ball Catmint each and they walked out of the cafe.

    Lee Shuyao: ¡°Was I cheated? This is impossible. There is only a chance of me cheating guys and not the other way round. Besides, he really likes my cat. He seems to be a little interested in me too, he kept looking at me.

    If I try harder, I should be able to take him down.¡±

    The next day, When Zhao Yao returned to Frosted Teeth City to tell Wheatley stories, Wheatley¡¯s dad appeared. He saw Zhao Yao and said, ¡°If you want to learn Dimension Seal, it is not impossible.¡±

    Meanwhile, in a pce on Satol.

    There were rows of cats asleep in the pce.

    One of the grey kittens¡¯ eyes jerked open and it crawled up.

    In therge and empty hall, there were dozens of supercats with different coloured fur lying in an oval swimming pool.

    Every time the cats breathed, arge amount of liquid was absorbed into their body. The liquid seemed to be providing nutrition for their bodies.

    This was where the Short Fur Tribe cats stored their bodies when their consciousness left their body.

    In one of the pools, a grey cat that was soundly asleep opened his eyes and was confused. He did not understand what the situation was.

    However he was only in a daze for a while, then there was hatred in his eyes.

    The supercat that awakened was the cat that was killed by Zhao Yao on Earth, Giggle.

    In fact, Giggle was not killed. He had split his awareness into two and left some of it in Closers World. He would sneak into the yers¡¯ awarenesses and follow the yers¡¯ awarenesses offline and hide in the yers¡¯ body.

    Then, he hibernated and slowly recovered.

    He was beaten down from Lv19 to Lv10 by Zhao Yao. It was a huge loss. He was as weak as a newborn, he hibernated for more than half a year and only managed to recover to Lv15. It was after he reached Lv15 that he could barely manage to travel through the awareness dimension.

    After waking up from hibernation, he learned from the media that Zhao Yao had taken control of Closers World.

    Hence, after he managed to travel through awareness dimension and returned to his body, Giggle¡¯s eyes were lit with anger.

    He muttered with hatred, ¡°Zhao ... Yao...¡±

    However, Giggle did not leave immediately. Instead, his eyes glowed with wisdom as he started thinking.

    ¡°If I report the situation to the superiors, then Earth and awareness country will not be mine anymore.¡±

    The moment he thought of Closers World that he built with all his efforts, Giggle felt that his heart was bleeding.

    He would not give up on Closers World, especially when building awareness countries was a forbidden skill. He learned how to build one by chance and if the superiors knew about it, not only would he be punished but Closers World would not be returned to him too.

    ¡°I cannot report this to the superiors. I need to find a few reliable cats, go back to Earth, and snatch Closers World back.¡±

    Every time Giggle thought of Closers World being controlled and toyed around with by Zhao Yao, he felt like a boyfriend waiting for his girlfriend in a hotel lobby for an entire night. He was so angry that his face was turning green.

    The awareness country had been taken away. It was worse than his wife being snatched away.

    ¡°Even if he has Closers World, he does not have the relevant knowledge. He shouldn¡¯t be able to absorb efficiently, furthermore the limit can not be increased. The maximum he will be able to reach is just a two star or three star cat ve.¡±

    ¡°I have to find a few reliable cats and go back onto Earth to teach him a lesson. Then, split Closers World.¡±

    Giggle was thinking about it and decided that this was the best way to solve the issue. The problem was, who he was going to choose to go with him.

    ¡°I cannot choose someone that is too strong. If he is too strong, I will not have a share.¡±

    ¡°I cannot choose someone too weak because we might lose and we will be giving him free cats.¡±

    ¡°And the cat has to be close to me and trustworthy.¡±

    Giggle thought about it and he fell into his slumber to regain his energy.

    ¡°Zhao Yao! Wait for it!!¡±

    Achoo!

    Zhao Yao sneezed and thought. ¡°Which cat is thinking of me?¡± Then, he shook his head and walked towards Wheatley¡¯s room. He was blocked by a tall red haired guy.

    The red haired guy said with a cold face. ¡°This is Miss Wheatley¡¯s bedroom. You cannot enter.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the red haired man in front of him. He was the apostle that Wheatley¡¯s dad had sent to protect Wheatley. He was given Wheatley dad¡¯s Lv49 powers and he mastered many skills.

    ¡°However, this guy... Why does he seem like he is defensive towards me.¡±

    The redhead looked at Zhao Yao and thought about Wheatley dad¡¯s instructions.

    He had to beware of this guy. He could let Guang Yu and Wheatley be in a room alone, let Guang Yu anywhere near Wheatley, let Guang Yu talk to Wheatley privately, let Guang Yu touch anything that Wheatley had eaten, let Guang Yu sit where Wheatley had sat and cannot let him breathe the same air that Wheatley breathed...

    Redhead told Zhao Yao, ¡°You can tell me what you want to say and I will tell Miss Wheatley for you.¡±

    Zhao Yao answered, ¡°ck Dune told me that Wheatley was looking for me.¡±

    Then, the door opened and Wheatley reached out her paw towards Zhao Yao. ¡°Guang Yu, you are here! There is news about the skills!¡±

    ¡°Lord Wheatley!¡± Red head blocked Zhao Yao from Wheatley. ¡°Lord your father does not want him to get close to you.¡±

    Wheatley tugged her mouth and did not understand why her father had to do such things. She did not bother to either. She jumped towards Zhao Yao, hugged Zhao Yao¡¯s neck and rode on Zhao Yao¡¯s back.

    ¡°Guang Yu! Don¡¯t you want to learn Dimension Seal?! There is no problem this time. You can learn with me!¡±

    Redhead looked at Wheatley, who was riding on Zhao Yao¡¯s back in shock and wanted to grab her. However, his hand shrank back and he could only shout at Zhao Yao. ¡°Guang Yu, what are you doing?! Stay away from Lord Wheatley!¡±

    ¡°You are so annoying.¡± Wheatley looked at her bodyguard impatiently. ¡°So what if I hug Zhao Yao? Can¡¯t I hug someone?¡±

    Red Sun said helplessly. ¡°Miss Wheatley, your father...¡±

    ¡°Meow! Since when do humans have a say in cat¡¯s business?¡± She snarled her teeth at Red Sun and when she saw that Red Sun was not going to stop her anymore, Wheatley rubbed her body against Zhao Yao happily. She continued, ¡°Guang Yu! At first for Dimension Seal, cat ves are not allowed to learn it. However, my dad went to look for the superiors to make an exception and you can learn Dimension Seal together with me!¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded excitedly. ¡°That¡¯s great. How do I learn?¡±

    Wheatley¡¯s eyes turned and she looked at Zhao Yao. ¡°No, you have to finish the story then I will bring you to learn it.¡± She thought about it and added, ¡°You have to tell me ten days worth of stories!¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Wheatley, who was excited. ¡°This little kitten, she is more cunning than I thought.¡±

    He thought about it and decided that learning skills was more important. Furthermore, with Red Sun beside him, he did not have the mood to educate her. He opened the Dimension Portal and decided to tell her the stories on his phone.

    ¡°Today, I will tell you the story of Jojo¡¯s adventure. The story goes that after the orange cat Jojo broke into Yun GangZong. He decided to go to Meow temple to save his father...¡±

    Upon seeing that Zhao Yao started telling the story, Wheatleyy obediently beside Zhao Yao and listened to Jojo¡¯s story attentively.

    At first Red Sun was frowning, however, as he listened, he started to concentrate too.

    He talked for about half an hour and Zhao Yao smacked his dry lips together. ¡°Okay, the amount that I have told you is 20 days worth of stories. I can¡¯t think of anything more.¡±

    Wheatley: ¡°You have to continue tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, when did I stop?¡± Zhao Yao asked. ¡°Where do I learn the skills?¡±

    ¡°In a dream.¡± Wheatley jumped down and ran towards the bed in her bedroom. ¡°Hurry up and sleep and I will bring you to that dream!¡±

    Red Sun looked at Zhao Yao who was walking towards the bedroom and warned him, ¡°Be careful, don¡¯t try to do anything weird and don¡¯t try to overstep any boundaries. I will be watching.¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes. What could he possibly do? The rtionship between him and Wheatley was so pure. It was Red Sun¡¯s thinking that was weird.

    A whileter, Wheatley and Zhao Yao¡¯s awarenesses had left their bodies and entered the awareness dimension.

    Zhao Yao followed Wheatley around in the awareness dimension and then he came to a peculiar dreamscape.

    In the endless emptiness, there was a huge pce floating in the air.

    Wheatley and Zhao Yao was standing in front of the pce and the feeling of being a small existence grew in their hearts.

    Wheatley looked at the pce and told Zhao Yao. ¡°Guang Yu, this is the dreamscape of the Short Fur sage Grayley. He mastered the Dimension Seal and if we want to learn this ck level skill, we have to learn it from him.¡±

    The highest levels were ck level skill and grey level skill. They were passed down in the Short Fur Tribe by word of mouth and never written down.

    The emphasis of the Short Fur Tribe on the two types of skills is very evident. Especially for the grey level skill.

    This time, Wheatley¡¯s father paid a high price to let his daughter have a chance of learning Dimension Seal.

    Zhao Yao was thinking, ¡°By right, the Short Fur Tribe is very strict about controlling the skills. Wheatley¡¯s father knew the Dimension Seal but, to let his daughter learn, he had to request for approval. Then, how did the cat hunters learn the Dimension Seal? Do they know about awareness countries too?¡±

    When Zhao Yao was thinking about all of this, the dream in front of him started changing and they were sucked into the pce. They came to a room that was filled with books. Then, countless knowledge floated in front of them and before they could react, they were back at the gates of the school.

    ¡°This is?¡± Zhao Yao remembered and his memory was filled with the information he had just seen. It was the relevant knowledge for Dimension Seal. If he followed the instructions on it and used his awareness energy, he would be able to seal a certain dimension. Living things would not be able to travel through the awareness dimension with their awareness.

    Meanwhile, when Zhao Yao and Wheatley were confused, there was a meowing from inside the pce.

    ¡°You guys have learned what you need to. Go back... Go back... Go back...¡±

    As the voice traveled over in their direction, Zhao Yao and Wheatley felt a strong force pushing them out of the dreamscape.

    The two of them use Dimension Travel and returned to the material world in Frosted Teeth City.

    Wheatley walked from her bed and rubbed her head. ¡°This is soplicated and hard to learn! I feel so dizzy!¡±

    Zhao Yao rubbed his overloaded head. In the dreamscape, it seemed like there was a time eleration and it let them read through arge amount of information in a short period of time.

    ¡°He can do the same time eleration as Diana. Is it a form of awareness skill too?¡±

    Zhao Yao rubbed his head and then he saw that there was a new option in the Book.

    He could let the cats under him learn the ck level skill of Dimension Seal. However, it would require 40 000 experience points.

    ¡°Should I let them learn?¡±

    Zhao Yao was hesitant if he should let the supercats learn Dimension Seal.

    The price of learning a ck level skill was as high as he had predicted. The main point was that his supercats could only reach a maximum of Lv25. However for Dimension Seal, it would depend on the strength of their awareness energy.

    It means that those with a stronger awareness would be able to seal one with a weaker awareness.

    For example, if someone with a Lv30 cast a Dimension Seal, a Lv25 will not be able to travel through the Awareness Dimension. But, a Lv35 would be able to break through it and travel in it.

    ¡°If I let Diana and the rest learn now, they will only be able to bully low level supercats.¡±

    ¡°But, if I can be like the apostle from the cat hunters and learn the skill, then I can borrow Wheatley father¡¯s LV49 powers to cast Dimension Seal. Then, it would be so much more useful.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°If I can use the Book¡¯s power to let the supercats learn the skills, it is a lot faster, but the range to use it is too little. Furthermore, it is not easy to use when their level is low.¡±

    ¡°I still have to learn Dimension Seal myself.¡±

    Thinking of this, Zhao Yao decided to learn Dimension Seal himself.

    Not only just the Dimension Seal, Zhao Yao decided to learn all the other skills he saw.

    He had this n initially, however, after he saw how much energy ck level skills consumed, it strengthened his idea.

    It would be better to save the experience points in the Book and learn himself.

    The supercats could learn themselves. It was better than spending experience points to let them learn.

    Hence, in the days that followed, Zhao Yao either stayed in Frosted Teeth City to tell Wheatley stories and educate her or he returned to Earth and entered Closers World. Then, he would create a dream in the dreamscape and learn the skill in time eleration.

    Of course, he was learning alone. The supercats needed to learn together with Zhao Yao.

    IIf a cat learns a ck level skill it costs 40 000 experience points. If Matcha, Diana, Catherine, and Elizabeth learn together, it will cost 160 000 experience points.¡¯

    ¡°If I let them learn themselves, won¡¯t I earn 160 000 experience points?¡±

    In the dreamscape, Matcha was lying on the floor. When he looked up, he saw the words in the sky andy back down. Sleepiness overwhelmed him.

    ¡°You are already dreaming and you still want to sleep?¡± Zhao Yao grabbed onto Matcha angrily and then squashed Matcha into a ball in the dreamscape.

    There were a pair of eyes on the ball and the ball said pitifully. ¡°Zhao Yao! It is already very tiring for me to go to school in the morning and I still have toe here at night. Now, whenever I see books, I feel like sleeping. I really can¡¯t do it anymore.¡±

    Upon seeing Matcha¡¯s pitiful state, Zhao Yao thought about it and released his palms. Then, Matcha returned to his original state.

    Zhao Yao rubbed his chin and said, ¡°It really seems tiring if you study during the day and still have to study at night.¡±

    Matcha was surprised and Diana, Elizabeth and Catherine who also heard him looked up out of surprise. They thought that Zhao Yao was finally being empathetic.

    Zhao Yao rubbed Matcha¡¯s head and said, ¡°After your lessons, why don¡¯t you guys go to the Door of Evesting Life and die once. When you guys revive, won¡¯t you be energized again?¡±

    Matcha: ¡°!¡±

    Diana: ¡°!¡±

    Catherine: ¡°!¡±

    Elizabeth: ( ?¡Ñ¦Ø¡Ñ`).

    Matcha crawled up and looked at Zhao Yao. ¡°This is so weird!! I feel like I am energized again. My waist is no longer hurting and my head stopped spinning.¡±

    ¡°I suddenly feel like studying!¡± Matcha shouted.

    Zhao Yao looked at the four cats, who were studying obediently and nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t me me for being cruel. It is all for your own good.¡±

    ¡°What era is it already? There are supercats everywhere. The times where you can earn money by acting cute is over.¡±

    ¡°In a future society, knowledge is power and knowledge is wealth. Supercats are not an exception.¡± Zhao Yao carried on, ¡°If you guys study more and master more skill points by then, you guys can remainpetitive.¡±

    ¡°It is not just you guys. Even I have to learn constantly and keep up with the times or I will be eliminated.¡±

    Thinking of this, Zhao Yao continued to study the material on the Dimension Seal. The content was veryplicated, it involved dimension, space, time and all otherplicated content. There was no way Zhao Yao could learn it instantly.

    Although it was very hard to learn Dimension Seal, Zhao Yao had Diana¡¯s power of Nightmare Lord. He could elerate time.

    A few dayster, they already had an in depth understanding regarding the Dimension Seal. Now, they had to practice it in the real world.

    In the cafe, Zhao Yao was lying on the chair. However, today he was not sleeping. He was controlling his awareness energy to cast Dimension Seal.

    In the void of space, there was a formless awareness that spread outwards. However, it onlysted for a while before dissipating.

    Although he had an in depth understanding of Dimension Seal, but to cast it sessfully in reality, Zhao Yao still had to practice a lot.

    However, Zhao Yao nevercked patience. He had been sitting on the chair in the cafe the whole day and kept practicing.

    ¡°Dimension Seal is hard, however, with my speed, I can learn it in a few days...¡± Zhao Yao was thinking, ¡°Then, I can learn other skills from Wheatley. Even if I can¡¯t learn a ck level skill, at least I can learn a few silver level skills?¡±

    ¡°There is also the awareness country and knowledge about Closers World. If I can¡¯t learn that from Wheatley, maybe I can...¡±

    Zhao Yao thought of Snow Mountain, he was previously with the Cat Hunters and wanted to capture Wheatley.

    Zhao Yao was very curious if the Cat Hunters had any knowledge about the awareness country.

    ¡°Being a human has prevented me from learning top skills from Short Fur Tribe. It¡¯s either I try to learn from the Cat Hunters or I can try using a cat¡¯s identity.¡±

    Furthermore, Matcha and the other three still needed to go for lessons during the day and Zhao Yao really wanted them to practice during the day, so that they could master the Dimension Seal earlier. However, their levels were lower, hence it was more important for Zhao Yao to master the skill early.

    At that point of time, Zhao Yao frowned and looked towards the front desk.

    Ning Ning was watching a video on her phone and she was shouting from time to time. She was so concentrated that it annoyed Zhao Yao. It was the same feeling as a boss seeing his employee ying with their phone.

    ¡°Hey, why you are using your phone in front of me when you are working? Do you think I am dead?¡±

    Ning Ning was startled and looked at Zhao Yao. She was shocked to see that he was not asleep.

    Ning Ning said awkwardly, ¡°B... boss, weren¡¯t you asleep?¡±

    Zhao Yao red at her and walked in front of Ning Ning. He looked at Ning Ning¡¯s phone and asked, ¡°What are you watching?¡± He thought he heard some surprising news just now.

    Talking about the content on the phone made Ning Ning excited again. She ces the phone in front of Zhao Yao and said, ¡°It¡¯s ck Phoenix! ck Phoenix!¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned and saw a handsome guy with long ck hair in the video. The guy was standing in front of a huge pot.

    The guy bend down and told the camera. ¡°Hi, everyone. I am ck Phoenix, today I will show you guys how I am going to cook myself! Please start giving tips!¡±

    Then, there was a pot of boiling water and the guy walked into it slowly.

    ¡°Everyone look carefully! It is really boiling water!¡± The guy was exining and then he picked up a piece of beef and ced it into the water. ¡°I will cook a piece of beef to eat...¡±

    Then, the guy sat in the boiling water = eating hotpot.

    Zhao Yao frowned. ¡°What kind of stupid video is this.¡±

    Ning Ning answered. ¡°It is ck Phoenix¡¯s video! It has been trending on the inte!¡±

    Zhao Yao saw that ck Phoenix had created a series of videos of him trying to kill himself. Boiling himself was just the start. There was also jumping into the river, jumping into the sea, jumping off the building and getting into a car collision.

    Ning Ning said, ¡°ck Phoenix has been filming superpower videos. His powers are amazing. Everyone says that there is hardly anything in this world that can kill him.¡±

    Zhao Yao snorted. ¡°If I want to kill him, it is just a matter of thoughts.¡±

    Ning Ning was not convinced. ¡°Boss, you are exaggerating. ck Phoenix is one of the top ten apostles in the world. He is handsome, strong and rich. All you do is to sleep everyday. How are you going to fight him?¡±

    Zhao Yao said with disdain, ¡°What top ten apostles? Only people like you will believe such things. Except for Zhao Yao, I can fight all nine of them together.¡±

    Ning Ning. ¡°I will not believe you Boss, unless you go and challenge ck Phoenix and win.¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed coldly. ¡°For me to challenge him? He is not important enough.¡±

    Ning Ning said, ¡°ck Phoenix has embarked on the journey of challenging all the apostles on the list. He will challenge Zhao Yaost!¡±

    ¡°This is all for the hype. Don¡¯t you get it?¡± Zhao Yao tugged the corners of his mouth. ¡°I think you should watch less of such stupid videos. Hurry go prepare the cat food. Go study how to do your job better. If all you do is to watch such videos, I will reduce your sry.¡±

    Ning Ning went to prepare cat food unwillingly. Zhao Yao returned to the chair and checked up on ck Phoenix. He couldn¡¯t tell if ck Phoenix was too self absorbed or if he valued money more than his life. He really started to challenge apostles from around the world and he was winning continuously. His poprity was increasing online.

    ¡°If he dares to challenge me, humph...¡± Zhao Yao looked at news from other supernatural realms. After his appearance, people witnessed more supernatural incidents. As supercats were gradually assimted into society, more people depended on supercats to earn money.

    Stroking his chin, Zhao Yao did not want to think too much. He wanted to practise Dimension Seal.

    Zhao Xue barged into the cafe and slumped on the sofa as she shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao! All cats were captured! Give me the money!¡±

    Zhao Yao lifted his head and looked at Zhao Xue, smiling. ¡°All were captured?¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡± Zhao Xue was excited as she said, ¡°Do you know how difficult it is to capture those cats? Some hid in culverts, inte cafes, mountains, ins and even deserts.¡±

    ¡°Merlin and the other Star Cats hid in Antarctica!¡±

    Zhao Xue recounted her experience and said painfully, ¡°I almost froze to death. We fought with dozens of pr bears...¡±

    Zhao Yao could not resist saying, ¡°Pr bears are not found in Antarctica.¡±

    ¡°They brought the bears over to Antarctica,¡± Zhao Xue said. ¡°Did you know how ridiculous those cats are? Doll escaped with Kunwu to the moon! I had to go to the moon to capture them!¡±

    Zhao Yao was astonished. ¡°Oh? How did you go there?¡±

    ¡°Making rockets!¡± Zhao Xue said, ¡°The Aviation Authorityunched the moon probe rocket... Initially it was quite fun but there¡¯s nothing on the moon. I don¡¯t want to go there again.¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao! More money! Give me more money! My menstruation was dyed and I had sustained hidden injuries from the exhaustion!¡±

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Very entertaining life. I could give her more tasks so that she will not be azy pig at home.¡±

    Zhao Xue said, ¡°Hey, did you hear me? I¡¯ve captured all the cats. I demand my money. Don¡¯t forget to give me more money. You have to increase my pay! This is a chronic injury.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the mission status on Book. A captured cat was worth 1000 experience points. With Zhao Xue¡¯s help, Zhao Yao obtained nearly 10 000 experience points which was a considerable amount.

    Zhao Yao transferred the money to Zhao Xue immediately and he added one million.

    After Zhao Xue received the money, she left hurriedly to spend the money.

    Zhao Yao looked at Book that indicated Book: Level 8 (134 717/100 000). He was pleased because he could upgrade a cat to Level 10 and prepare for another cat to reach Level 25.

    Zhao Yao looked at the Book panel:

    Matcha: Level 25

    Elizabeth: Level 18

    Dust Ball: Level 10

    Ares: Level 8 (15 800/50 000)

    Lucifer: Level 8 (10 900/50 000)

    Sphynx cat: Level 7 (11 900/20 000)

    Catherine: Level 25

    Diana: Level 25

    The only cats that had not reached Level 10 were Ares, Lucifer, and Sphynx cat.

    Zhao Yao calcted that it was enough for Ares to upgrade to Level 10. Lucifer and Sphynx cat still needed more experience points.

    Zhao Yao decided to upgrade Ares to Level 10.

    After leveling up, Ares could choose from two levels in the skill tree.

    Zhao Yao observed carefully. Though he had two skills points, he did not award Ares because he was saving them for Lucifer and Sphynx cat.

    Looking at the skills from these two levels, he did not find the need to spend skills points. He chose two skills.

    One was to let the Deflective Field drop to -200 ¡ãC.

    The other skill was Field Transmission which allowed power to be transferred in between the Deflective Field and a cat¡¯s constitution.

    The power from the Deflective Field could be transformed into the body¡¯s power and vice versa.

    The power of the Deflective Field was roughly 200 to 300 tons. If it was transferred, Ares would be an ultra cat.

    It was more powerful when the process was reversed. With the strength of eight cats, that was about tens of thousands of tons, Zhao Yao¡¯s Deflective Field would be magnified many times and it would increase with the strengthening of his body.

    Thebination of the Deflective Field and Sphynx cat¡¯s training superpower was a perfect match. Like a chemical reaction, hisbat prowess increased exponentially.

    After Ares was upgraded to Level 10, experience points were expended and the Book became Book: Level 8 (517/100 000).

    Zhao Yao tested the Deflective Field with his thoughts and a distant chair floated up.

    Zhao Yao tried transferring his body¡¯s power to the Deflective Field.

    After a mysterious ripple, the surrounding air vibrated and a terrifying power lingered in the air.

    With a slight squeeze of the palm, the transmission of power from his body exploded. Violent power was emanated through the Deflective Field and thunderous sounds were heard.

    The chair was squeezed into a small clump and continued disintegrating until it became dust that dispersed in the air.

    ¡°Very useful superpower.¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled with satisfaction. With Field Transmission, he could manifest his body¡¯s power in the surrounding space without physical contact.

    The area of impact could be small orrge. He could use prative attacks or use it to grab a battleship without damaging it.

    The phone rang.

    Zhao Yao noticed it was an unknown number and he took the call surprisingly.

    ¡°Hey? Greetings, are you rted to Latte?¡±

    ¡°Yes, I am.¡± Zhao Yao was puzzled and asked, ¡°Who are you?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m Mr Lee from Jianghai¡¯s First Cat School. I¡¯m Latte¡¯s form teacher.¡±

    The teacher said gravely, ¡°Latte has not done his homework for many days and said his dad asked him not to do homework. He¡¯s uncooperative and chats with his ssmates during ss. The other students followed his lead and stopped doing homework and have be attentive in ss. He had disrupted our ss¡¯ discipline.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes shed and said, ¡°I understand Mr Lee, I¡¯ll talk to him.¡±

    The form teacher said, ¡°Don¡¯t be rash. Small kittens are naughty and disobedient. We advocate constructivements and education. Don¡¯t be rash and beat him up...¡±

    After hearing the teacher¡¯s words, he smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry Mr Lee. I don¡¯t beat up cats. I¡¯ll use reason to convince him.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yao was glum. ¡°I can¡¯t let Latte and Matcha stay together. He¡¯s being spoilt.¡±

    He recalled Latte when he came the first time. He was an adorable, obedient, and intelligent kitten. How did things turn out this way?

    ¡°Ning Ning, I¡¯m going out for a while. Tend to the shop.¡±

    Ning Ning came out of the kitchen but Zhao Yao had left.

    ...

    In the first year ssroom of Jianghai¡¯s First Cat School.

    Latte sat on the table arrogantly as he ate his canned food. He boasted, ¡°Why do we do homework? What¡¯s the use of doing homework? I can see that the first year students are the most capable in the school.¡±

    A kitten asked bewilderedly, ¡°Why? The senior cats are awesome too.¡±

    ¡°D*mn them if they are awesome. In this school, not having to do homework and worry about exams is the most awesome thing to do,¡± Latte said. ¡°As a first year student, we aren¡¯t afraid of repeating school because we remain first year students. We can skip our homework and exams. Isn¡¯t it awesome?¡±

    The eyes of the first year kittens glimmered. ¡°We are the most awesome.¡±

    ¡°Brother Latte, you¡¯re very philosophical.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re indeed a kitten with an IQ of 90, very intelligent.¡±

    Latte smiled contentedly. ¡°What¡¯s the big deal? I only used an IQ of 60 for this matter. I was ying truant until a mad woman came and captured me. Otherwise would still be yingputer games outside.¡±

    Everyone in the group was in awe of Latte.

    Mango, who was also in the first year ss, stood up and struggled to get out of the group.

    Latte shouted, ¡°Mango, what are you doing? Don¡¯t wander off! You might not find the bathroom.¡±

    Mango walked to the ssroom entrance and rubbed intensely on Zhao Yao¡¯s feet.

    Latte froze after seeing Zhao Yao and cold sweat dripped from the back of his head.

    ¡°Why is Zhao Yao in school?¡±

    A white kitten beside Latte meowed at Zhao Yao, ¡°Who are you? Why did youe to our ss? Tell us or we¡¯ll...¡±

    ¡°D*mn you!¡± Latte pped the white cat¡¯s head and opened his eyes wide as he looked demurely at Zhao Yao and shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, why did youe to school?¡±

    Zhao Yao squatted down to caress Mango¡¯s head and lifted his head to gaze at Latte. ¡°Latte,e outside. I have things to say to you.¡±

    Latte followed Zhao Yao silently and came to an empty ssroom.

    Zhao Yao looked at Latte and sneered. ¡°I heard you haven¡¯t done your homework for many days?¡±

    Latte said immediately, ¡°It¡¯s not intentional. I¡¯m unable to do the homework.¡± He grabbed Zhao Yao¡¯s calf and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, the first year¡¯s work is too difficult for me. I¡¯m unable to do it. I¡¯m hopelessly lost in my homework!

    Let me study in kindergarten. I think the course is more suitable for me.¡±

    After listening to Latte, Zhao Yao became glum and said, ¡°You¡¯re thinking of studying in kindergarten? Mango¡¯s studying in the first year ss and Fish Ball¡¯s studying next year in middle school and preparing for his examinations. If you study in kindergarten, aren¡¯t you disgracing me?¡±

    Latte said, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, the teacher said that kindergarten, elementary school, and middle school are just ssification for jobs. There¡¯s no discrimmination.¡±

    Zhao Yao kicked Latte and said, ¡°You didn¡¯t pay attention in ss. You can¡¯t remember the teacher¡¯s words.¡±

    After kicking Latte a few times, Zhao Yao continued, ¡°I thought of letting you inherit billions of assets and dozens of buildings. It seems you are not intelligent enough for the job.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Latte blinked his eyes and gazed at Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao recalled Matcha, Roly Poly, and Elizabeth and thought for a while as he said, ¡°Latte, when I first saw you, I knew you weren¡¯t an ordinary cat. I thought highly of you. Of all the supercats, you are the only one suitable to inherit billions of my fortune.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the motionless Latte and thought, ¡°Latte¡¯s willpower is stronger than Matcha¡¯s? Strange, perhaps he doesn¡¯t know the meaning of billions.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head helplessly. ¡°Billions in fortune means you can buy lots of salmon. So much that the school¡¯s stadium is stuffed full but there are still more salmon.¡±

    The dazed Latte¡¯s eyes lit up immediately.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Look at you. You can¡¯t handle the first year. You¡¯ve disappointed me. I thought of letting you take care of my properties in your fifth graduation year, but now...¡± He sighed.

    Latte shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao! I¡¯ll learn diligently every day! Don¡¯t be disappointed in me.¡±

    ¡°If you are diligent, I¡¯ll be relieved.¡± Zhao Yao caressed Latte¡¯s head and said, ¡°I¡¯ve talked to your form teacher. From today onwards after school, you¡¯ll remain in the form teacher¡¯s office to finish your homework before going home.¡±

    Latte froze and felt despondent. Even a stadium full of salmon was no longer attractive.

    Zhao Yao returned to the cafe and saw more than ten men sitting inside. Ning Ning, Lee Shuyao, Yang Hui were sizing them up curiously.

    Yang Hui thought, ¡°These me... look like they are from the Sun family?¡± Yang Hui knew that the Sun family was the local tycoon family in this small town. The Sun family was not influential outside but was despotic in town. Everyone lived in fear of them.

    She thought, ¡°Looking at the situation, are they looking for trouble? The boss is jinxed.¡±

    As Zhao Yao stepped in, more than ten of them stopped him.

    Zhao Yao frowned. ¡°How can I help you?¡±

    The leader, who was a middle-aged man said, ¡°Boss, I¡¯d like to check, is my brother Sun Jian in your hands?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked nkly and said, ¡°Who¡¯s Sun Jian?¡±

    He could not remember the broadcaster who had created trouble in the cafe.

    The middle-aged man became grim and reminded Zhao Yao, ¡°My brother¡¯s a live stream broadcaster. He came to your cafe to do a live stream and he disappeared. Some people said they saw him mopping the floor in the cafe.¡±

    ¡°Oh, you are talking about worker number five.¡± Zhao Yao suddenly realised who was Sun Jian. ¡°Why are you looking for him?¡±

    Hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s words, the man was stunned and said, ¡°He disappeared for a long time and we can¡¯t get through his cell phone. We are worried about him. Could we see him?¡± Zhao Yao smiled. ¡°Of course.¡±

    Zhao Yao opened the kitchen Dimension Portal and shouted, ¡°Hey, number five, your family¡¯s here to see you. Come out and talk to them.¡±

    Sun Jian walked out of the Dimension Portal and emerged from the kitchen. He was dumbstruck when he saw the middle-aged man. ¡°Brother? Why are you here?¡±

    The man looked at Sun Jian and approached him. He observed Sun Jian¡¯s thin and pale face.

    The man said with concern, ¡°What¡¯s with you? Why can¡¯t we get through your cell phone?¡± He turned to re at Zhao Yao and asked Sun Jian, ¡°Did the boss force you to stay? If you¡¯re being bullied, I¡¯ll avenge you.¡±

    The surrounding henchmen stood up and looked maliciously at Zhao Yao.

    They were wary previously as Sun Jian was in Zhao Yao¡¯s hands. With Sun Jian¡¯s appearance, they were no longer worried.

    ¡°Chat with your brother and clear up any misunderstandings.¡± Zhao Yao said something to Sun Jian, walked casually to a chair and sat down. He stroked his chin and practised the dimension sealing.

    Sun Jian got a shock from his brother¡¯s words and grabbed hold of him.

    Sun Jian recalled how terrifying Zhao Yao was. Though Zhao Yao only showed the tip of an iceberg, his superpowers were frightening.

    As his brother was about to antagonize Zhao Yao, Sun Jian stopped him immediately to prevent an impending disaster.

    Sun Jian looked at his brother and said immediately, ¡°Nobody bullied me. I want to work in the cafe.¡±

    Sun Jian¡¯s brother looked surprised and said, ¡°You want to work in the cafe?¡±

    ¡°Yes, the boss¡¯s a good person, he speaks well and likes to y with cats. I want to work here for a few days.¡± Sun Jian was afraid of antagonizing the boss and said, ¡°I¡¯m finishing in three days. I¡¯ll go home after three days.¡±

    ¡°Three days? Working? What are you up to?¡± His brother looked bewildered at him. When did his brother like working?

    ¡°Another three days!¡± Sun Jian looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Boss, I have to work three more days before going home?¡±

    Zhao Yao hesitated and smiled as he said, ¡°Yes, about three more days.¡±

    Ning Ning felt a cold chill in her body. How many days was that? This was an endless cycle of three days.

    She felt sympathy for Sun Jian and could not resist saying, ¡°There are only three days left and he¡¯s worked a lot. Boss, why don¡¯t you release him?¡±

    Sun Jian hesitated and looked in anticipation at Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao red at Ning Ning and said, ¡°There are only three days left. Why don¡¯t you rece him?¡±

    ¡°Er...¡± Ning Ning was scared and said, ¡°Work for another three days. Time will pass quickly.¡±

    Sun Jian sighed. He was afraid that his brother might antagonize Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Enough, I¡¯ll work three more days to earn my own money. Leave quickly. Don¡¯t disrupt the boss¡¯ business.¡±

    Zhao Yao reminded him, ¡°Talk nicely to your brother.¡±

    Sun Jian got a fright and shivered. He said softly and earnestly, ¡°Brother, I¡¯m happy here. Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll return home after three days.¡±

    His brother stared wide-eyed at Sun Jian as he could never imagine his rich brother bing like this.

    He patted Sun Jian¡¯s shoulders and said happily, ¡°Brother, you¡¯ve grown up. Seeing your previous decadent life and your current state... You¡¯re now working hard to earn your money.¡±

    His brother was full of gratitude as he walked to Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Boss, thank you. My brother¡¯s... My family was unable to control him. I can¡¯t imagine that now he¡¯s working hard to earn his money and he¡¯s respectful to me.

    Thank you. I¡¯m grateful to you!¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s what I should do.¡±

    Sun Jian¡¯s brother was moved and he said, ¡°My brother had been disobedient since young. Feel free to discipline him at work. I¡¯m handing him over to you. I think three days is too short. Let him stay here for another two months.¡±

    Sun Jian panicked and said, ¡°Wait, brother, listen to me...¡±

    Sun Jian¡¯s brother stopped him and said, ¡°Don¡¯t say a word. Work here diligently for a period of time.¡±

    ¡°Boss, please take care of my brother.¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled, ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. I¡¯ll help you educate him.¡± He said solemnly, ¡°Number five... I mean Sun Jian, he¡¯s mischievous and impatient. He might call and send messages to you saying that he wanted to go home...¡±

    ¡°Boss, don¡¯t worry. Now that he¡¯s turning over a new leaf, we won¡¯t bex with him. I¡¯m handing him over to you.¡±

    Sun Jian said in shock and fear, ¡°Brother...¡±

    ¡°Sun Jian, it¡¯s for your own good. Stay here and work. Get rid of your bad habits. We¡¯lle back in two months.¡±

    Sun Jian broke down when his brother left. His brother had made things worse for him.

    Ning Ning dripped cold sweat as she looked at Sun Jian despondent figure. ¡°Another endless cycle of two months...¡±

    ¡°Go and work.¡± Zhao Yao smiled at Sun Jian and said, ¡°Work diligently. I have high hopes for you.¡±

    Lee Shuyao and Yang Hui looked at each other and felt something weird about the incident.

    Lee Shuyao thought, ¡°Sun Jian... seems to be afraid of the boss. Why is that?¡± She recounted her experience with Zhao Yao. ¡°He¡¯s an otaku cat lover. How is he scary?¡±

    Zhao Yao was not bothered about this incident. Sun Jian was like an additional voring in his life. The countless supercats on the alien was his next target.

    He intended to stay in the cafe for the next few days to practise the Dimension Seal.

    Zhao Yao was practising his skill for a while before his cell phone started vibrating. It was a message from Zhao Xue.

    ¡°Roly Poly¡¯s information?¡±

    Zhao Xue was assigned to spy on Roly Poly while he captured the supercats. She also helped to capture the supercats in secret.

    When Zhao Xue returned, she summarized information about Roly Poly for Zhao Yao.

    Though Roly Poly was careful, he was not able to fend off Sheriff¡¯s mind reading and Zhao Xue¡¯s surveince which was over ten hours every day.

    Zhao Yao obtained lots of information regarding Roly Poly.

    ¡°Project X?¡± Zhao Yao looked at the information from Zhao Xue and thought, ¡°Project X didn¡¯t die and became Roly Poly¡¯s secret weapon?¡±

    ¡°Absorb other supercats¡¯ superpower DNA to boost Roly Poly¡¯s invisibility?¡±

    Zhao Yao studied the videos sent by Zhao Xue. They showed Roly Poly¡¯s recent boosted superpower.

    ¡°Roly Poly was able to go through walls and parts of his body became ethereal, hmm...¡±

    Zhao Yao squeezed his chin and smiled, ¡°Not bad, once he upgrades some more, I¡¯ll contract him.¡±

    Roly Poly had to be monitored to prevent him from creating trouble.

    After pondering, Zhao Yao assigned Doll to spy on Roly Poly as he had a robot army that could monitor Roly Poly 24/7.

    Using the time eleration in the dreamscape to revise his material, in addition to boosting of his brain from Sphynx cat¡¯s constitution, Zhao Yao mastered the Dimension Sealing skill.

    With a thought, the Level 49 awareness emanated out from Zhao Yao and the air rippled.

    Zhao Yao shouted at Diana and the supercats, ¡°See if you can travel in the Awareness Dimension.¡±

    Diana, Catherine, Elizabeth and Matcha tested but they were unable to enter the Awareness Dimension.

    Zhao Yao tested with them. With his skill level, the Dimension Seal of a Level 49 awareness had a radius of a hundred meters andsted for roughly ten minutes.

    ¡°It¡¯s enough. With Dimension Seal, supercats below Level 49 are no longer my match.¡±

    The door room opened and Milk Tea stood on his hind legs, his front paws raised to support a pile of documents with his head. He strolled in.

    ¡°Zhao Yao!¡± Milk Tea walked to Zhao Yao¡¯s side and said, ¡°This is Cat Wondend Street and Dust Ball catmint¡¯s monthly financial reports.¡±

    Zhao Yao was curious and asked, ¡°Milk Tea, when did you start helping Bai Quan?¡±

    Milk Tea said shyly, ¡°I told Bai Quan I could help him. After school, I trained at the Cat Wondend Street and helped Sister Dust Ball with the Dust Ball catmint promotion.¡±

    Zhao Yao patted Matcha¡¯s head and said, ¡°Look at your son, he¡¯s working and earning money while you are studying in third year elementary school.¡±

    Matcha curled himself up and covered his head with his white paws as though he was in shame. He sneered in his heart. ¡°If that¡¯s called working, I can do it too. I, George Matcha, started working when I was two years old. My work experience is more substantial than his.¡±

    Milk Tea said, ¡°Master Zhao, don¡¯t criticize Brother Matcha. He¡¯s trying very hard.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head and perused the documents from Milk Tea. He wanted to see how much profit was made so that he could be happy.

    Milk Tea said, ¡°The growth of Cat Wondend Street has slowed down. I did some market research. It¡¯s because simr shops and malls are being set up. A lot people and cats are copying us.

    I feel that the entertainment items at Cat Wondend Street could be streamlined by using big data analytics and cloudputing to analyse users¡¯ needs and upgrade the experience of the workers and users...

    Mobile tablets are gaining more traction than PC. I¡¯ve checked. Ourpanies don¡¯t have mobile apps. In the next season, we should start our mobile app campaign...

    As for vertical segmentation of cat¡¯s entertainment, we still have a lot to improve on. I tutored Merlin, Ares and Sphynx cat¡¯s on entrepreneurship. I¡¯ll let you go through their proposalster...¡±

    Zhao Yao could not resist asking, ¡°Milk Tea, are these your thoughts?¡±

    Milk Tea smiled and said shyly, ¡°I learned from Bai Quan. He¡¯s more knowledgeable than me.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought for a while and said, ¡°Do more if you like it. It¡¯s alright if we lose money. I¡¯ll let Bai Quan allocate some money for you...¡±

    Matcha thought, ¡°Perhaps I could borrow money from Milk Tea?¡±

    Zhao Yaopleted his training on Dimension Seal. He opened the Dimension Portal and returned to the pce of the Frosted Teeth City. He wanted to learn another skill from Wheatley.

    ¡°Meow!¡± Under Red Sun¡¯s envious and jealous gaze, Wheatley jumped on Zhao Yao¡¯s shoulders and stroked his head as she said, ¡°Guang Yu! Tell me a story immediately. You haven¡¯t told me the story for today.¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Zhao Yao pondered and said, ¡°I¡¯ll continue the orange cat Jojo¡¯s story.¡±

    After half an hour of storytelling, Zhao Yao looked at the story-thirsty Wheatley and asked, ¡°Wheatley, I¡¯ve learnt the Dimension Seal. Do you have other powerful skills for me to learn?¡±

    ¡°Ah? Other skills?¡± Wheatley said, ¡°Besides the Dimension Seal, I only have Frost Dragon.¡±

    Zhao Yao learned the silver level Frost Dragon from Wheatley. After noting it down, he went home to practise it.

    When he returned to the cafe, he heard Ning Ning eximing excitedly. He frowned and asked, ¡°What are you shouting about?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s ck Phoenix!¡± Ning Ning said excitedly, ¡°ck Phoenix won three battles against the American Terminator, Japan¡¯s robot and India¡¯s Luohan. He¡¯s awesome!¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned and said, ¡°What lousy aliases.¡±

    ¡°They are Forbes ranking apostles!¡± Ning Ning said, ¡°ck Phoenix was ranked fifth yesterday. He¡¯s continuing his challenge.¡±

    Seeing Ning Ning¡¯s excitement, Zhao Yao frowned and searched for information about ck Phoenix.¡±

    ck Phoenix was more popr than what he imagined. After the appearance of supercats, ck Phoenix was the first high profile apostle to live stream his challenges to other apostles.

    Zhao Yao was not listed on popr searches for half a year. Theizens required new stimtion. ck Phoenix was the hot recement for the missing Zhao Yao.

    Although the live stream was banned by many countries, the inte was abuzz with his news. His fans and followers on this social media breached 30 billion.

    ¡°ck Phoenix...¡± Zhao Yao studied ck Phoenix¡¯s news and thought, ¡°He¡¯s arrogant.¡±

    Zhao Yao treated this news as inte sensations and celebrity gossip. He slept and entered his dream to practise his newly acquired silver level skill¡ªFrost Dragon.

    Ning Ning frowned at the side. ¡°He¡¯s sleeping again.¡± The next moment, she was happy again as she was able to y with her cell phone.

    Zhao Yao entered Closers World and studied the information in the Book. Elizabeth was progressing well on the evolution bar and she could reach Level 20 by today.

    He nced at Tom.

    Tom and Strangle were standing at the safety area of the revival point in the wilderness after being trapped by Gaia.

    Strangle stood angrily in the revival point while Gaia and his men surrounded him outside the safety area.

    Gaia¡¯s body was golden in color and a pair of ten meter long wings floated behind him. The wings vibrated with his breath.

    Gaiaughed loudly and shouted, ¡°Shorty Strangle! Come out if you dare!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m warning you! Don¡¯t let me see you in the wilderness! I¡¯ll kill you every time I see you until you quit the game!¡±

    Hearing Gaia¡¯s arrogance, the green veins on Strangle¡¯s forehead pulsated. He bit Tom¡¯s neck and shouted, ¡°This d*mn cat! I¡¯ll following the connection of Closers World to kill him!¡±

    Tom said in pain, ¡°No Brother Strangle! Giggle doesn¡¯t allow us to do that. If yers die in real life from the game, there would be no more yers.¡±

    Strangle said furiously, ¡°What¡¯s Giggle to me? When I¡¯m out in the streets, he¡¯s still suckling breast milk! These primitive cats are killing me until I¡¯m trapped at the revival point. If I don¡¯t kill him in real life, how can I endure such humiliation?¡±

    A terrifying and dominant presence descended from the sky. They felt the engulfing energy which was controlled by Zhao Yao in Closers World.

    Strangle was shocked. ¡°Such strong power of awareness!¡± He felt his awareness being pinned down by a supreme power. With a little pressure, he would disintegrate.

    A voice flowed into Strangle¡¯s awareness. ¡°Brother Strangle, I¡¯m giving you respect by calling you Brother Strangle. Closers World¡¯s my creation. You may y in it but you have to follow the rules... is that okay?¡±

    Feeling the overwhelming power brushing his body like multiple tentacles, Strangle nodded in fear. ¡°Yes, I understand.¡±

    He thought in shock, ¡°Did Giggle be that powerful after creating this awareness country? If I recall other cats... No, the more cats there are, the less each one obtains. To defeat Giggle in this awareness country, I won¡¯t be the one doing it...¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head. The energy in Closers World receded like flood water.

    Strangle felt better and heaved in relief. He asked Tom, ¡°Why is Giggle¡¯s tone more ferocious than before?¡±

    Tom said, ¡°I don¡¯t know. He¡¯s been like this for a long time.¡±

    Strangle casually asked as he did not see Giggle for a long time and he could not remember his voice or tone.

    Gaia shouted, ¡°Shorty Strangle! Why are you silent? Look who¡¯s here?¡±

    A female cat who bought a shiny Ragdoll cat skin walked to Gaia¡¯s side and rubbed on him.

    Strangle, who was ring at Gaia, shouted in fury, ¡°Sweetie! You joined their guild too?¡±

    Gaia sprawled on the back of the female cat andughed wildly, ¡°Shorty Strangle! Even your female cat¡¯s mine! If I were you, I would delete my ount and quit the game! Why are you disgracing yourself?¡±

    Sweetie said to Strangle, ¡°Brother Strangle, don¡¯t me me. Cats climb towards greater heights. You can¡¯t even afford thetest double eleven God of War¡¯s costume. I have to follow Brother Gaia.¡±

    Strangle fell to the ground in anger and his hair stood on end. He screamed as he charged out but was held down by Tom.

    Strangle said furiously, ¡°Don¡¯t stop me! I¡¯m killing them!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t be rash Brother Strangle! You can¡¯t defeat them!¡±

    Strangle was even more furious but he was helpless. If he could defeat them, he would not be trapped in the revival point.

    Tom consoled him and said, ¡°Brother Strangle, Gaia¡¯s powerful because he bought the double eleven God of War¡¯s costume. Once we have it, we can defeat him.¡±

    Strangle said, ¡°Where do we buy this God of War costume?¡±

    Tom quickly said, ¡°ess the Commerce City pages. There¡¯s a new double eleven God of War gift hamper. After buying it, you¡¯ll have a chance to umte the costume fragments. Once you have collected 120 fragments, you can create the winning costume.¡±

    Strangle stared at the gift hamper with his red eyes as he muttered, ¡°I don¡¯t have enough gold coins to buy it.¡±

    Tom said, ¡°Let¡¯s earn some money in the dungeons.¡±

    The aim of Closers World was to attract the yers to y and not for their money. All the items in the games, including items from the Commerce City, could be purchased using the game currency.

    Looking at the God of War gift hamper, Strangle nodded viciously. ¡°Let me obtain the winning costume and I¡¯ll deal with Gaia and Sweetie!¡±

    Seeing Strangle leave to conquer the dungeons, Zhao Yao nodded with satisfaction. Strangle was quite addicted to the game.

    Gaia¡¯s job was to y with Strangle and defeat him once in a while. After that, let Strangle win one or two times before failing again. It was like hanging a carrot in front of a donkey to attract Strangle to continue ying.

    Zhao Yao could spend the time to strengthen himself instead of worrying about the alien cat¡¯s intrusion.

    Zhao Yao activated Diana¡¯s Nightmare Lord and entered Dreams within Dreams. With the help of Time eleration, he started learning Frost Dragon.

    Elizabeth was progressing well in her level upgrades and Zhao Yao¡¯s power was steadily increasing.

    After spending a few days of learning in dreams, Zhao Yao returned to the material realm to practise Frost Dragon.

    On this night, Zhao Yao sat on the sofa on Cat Ind. He looked at Matcha, whose back was facing Zhao Yao and ying Mobile Legends happily. Zhao Yao focused his gaze. ¡°Matcha has Time Distortion, I¡¯ll experiment on him.¡±

    A Level 49 awareness transformed into a white dragon and shot out.

    A white Frost Dragon the size of a thumb crashed into Matcha¡¯s back. Matcha shivered as his thought process slowed down.

    Matcha suddenly realized that his mind was unable to keep up with the speed of the game. He was assassinated a few times in a row by assassins and he could not even activate a skill before he died from the attack. It made him so angry he started meowing in rage.

    Zhao Yao smiled slightly. He pointed a finger and a white dragon the size of his arm shot towards Matcha¡¯s back.

    Matcha¡¯s thought process slowed down again in that instant. He stared at his phone in front of him in a daze. It took a while for him to press on the phone screen again and he only did that asionally from then on.

    The hero that he controlled in the game turned into an idiot instantly as he would be killed by his enemy after taking a few steps out.

    Fish Ball, who was controlling a tank, could not help but scold him as he screamed, ¡°Matcha, what the hell are you doing?!¡±

    Zhao Yao smirked again as another white Frost Dragon that was as big as the whole room slowly materialized in the air. After letting out a huge roar, the dragon charged towards Matcha¡¯s back beforepletely integrating into his cat body.

    Matcha froze on the spot as his thoughts werepletely frozen. He stopped thinking altogether, as if time had stopped for him at that moment.

    Zhao Yao observed the immobilized Matcha. He stretched his hand to pat his head and then his butt. When he saw that the cat still did not react, he finally nodded his head in satisfaction. ¡°It¡¯s a pretty good skill. With this skill, I will have even more battle tactics to use next time.¡±

    After an hour, Matcha regained consciousness as he shivered again. He was bewildered as he thought to himself, ¡°What¡¯s going on? Did I just zone out?¡±

    Zhao Yao had already returned to the Frosted Teeth City. He wanted to continue learning more skills from Wheatley.

    Anyway, he had yet to level up all five cats to Level 25. Zhao Yao decided to learn more new skills from Wheatley first, or it would put to waste the Level 49 power of Awareness he had gained.

    However, Wheatley only rubbed her chin and said despondently, ¡°I don¡¯t know any other skills.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Even if you don¡¯t know any other skill, don¡¯t you have other skill books here?¡±

    Wheatleyy on the bed with her four limbs facing upwards as she rolled aroundzily and said, ¡°Learning skills is so troublesome. I don¡¯t want to do those things.¡±

    Zhao Yao was exasperated. He thought about how he should really think of another way to learn new skills.

    However, Wheatley suddenly flipped around and went right up to Zhao Yao. She ced her head against Zhao Yao¡¯s forehead and asked, ¡°Guang Yu! That... Did you bring that here?¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Zhao Yao was stunned for a moment. He was still thinking of how to change course to learn new skills and even thought of how to go about learning about the Awareness country skill and its rted knowledge. As such, he did not immediately get what Wheatley was asking for.

    Wheatley said in a slightly abashed tone. ¡°I¡¯m injured again. My blood is flowing non-stop.¡±

    Zhao Yao immediately nodded and said, ¡°I got it. I will bring it to you in a moment.¡±

    Wheatley immediately smiled when she heard that and kept nudging and bumping Zhao Yao¡¯s head. ¡°Good boy! That¡¯s my cat ve!¡±

    However, she suddenly frowned and started sniffing hard at Zhao Yao¡¯s head and neck.

    Zhao Yao was confused as he asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Wheatley?¡±

    Wheatley¡¯s gaze sharpened instantly as she stretched out her hand and picked up a strand of orange cat fur from Zhao Yao¡¯s clothes. ¡°Guang Yu! You found another cat outside?¡±

    Zhao Yao was stunned. His body tensed up immediately.

    Due to the difference in culture on Earth, it was alright for a human to keep a hundred or even two hundred cats. It was a world of many cats to one human.

    But on the cat, Satol, the world was reversed. A human can only serve one cat, while a cat enjoyed the worship of countless humans. It was a world of many humans to one cat.

    In this ce, if a human interacted with many cats, that person would be severely condemned.

    Zhao Yao was at a loss for words when Wheatley retracted and said in a slightly dejected voice, ¡°Meow... I know you cat ves can¡¯t resist when you see a cat.¡±

    She touched her chest and her butt as she said pitifully, ¡°Is it because I don¡¯t have a tail or my paws or paw pads. I don¡¯t even have fur now. Is that why you went to find other cats?¡±

    Zhao Yao did not know what to say. He just said, ¡°You look quite good like this too.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not good!¡± Wheatley said angrily. ¡°The me now is so inflexible! I can¡¯t even take a look at my butt even if I wanted to. These two lumps of meat on my chest are so troublesome as well.

    I don¡¯t have a single fur on my body too. The friction I get from bumping things makes me feel pain as well.¡±

    As she said that, she stuck out her small pink tongue and licked around her lips as she said in frustration, ¡°My tongue also became much shorter now. It¡¯s so inconvenient to lick things now.¡±

    She looked at Zhao Yao pitifully and asked, ¡°Have I be less cute now?¡±

    Zhao Yao paused for a while. After thinking about it, he patted Wheatley¡¯s head, but Wheatley immediately dodged. ¡°Don¡¯t touch a cat¡¯s head! A cat¡¯s head is not something anyone can touch!¡± After she thought about it, Wheatley rolled her eyes in a full circle before she said, ¡°But if you want to touch me you can touch my back or butt.¡±

    ¡°No thanks... I¡¯m not touching anymore.¡± Zhao Yao retracted his hand and said, ¡°If you hate being in a human body so much, why did you reincarnate as one? Can¡¯t you just change back into a cat form?¡±

    ¡°Dad made me reincarnate as a human.¡± Wheatley sighed. ¡°He said I¡¯m too stupid. If I reincarnate as a cat in my first time and I didn¡¯t manage to live long enough, I would not be able toplete my second reincarnation in time.¡±

    Zhao Yao asked curiously, ¡°Reincarnation... Do you need a lot of preparation for that?¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡± Wheatley looked up and said to Zhao Yao, ¡°I spent a long time preparing my first reincarnation, and that was only possible with the help of my Dad. My second reincarnation will be much harder to achieve. If I use a cat body, I might really not be able toplete the reincarnation in time.¡±

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Does every subsequent reincarnation be harder to achieve?¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡± Wheatley curled up on the bed and hugged her legs as she muttered, ¡°If you¡¯re talented enough or your capabilities are strong enough, it won¡¯t be much of a problem. My talent is too weak. The increase in my power of Awareness totally cannot match up to that of the increase in an ageing cat. If I don¡¯t reincarnate as a human, my second reincarnation will likely be at risk of failure.

    However, after reincarnating as a human, the increase in power of Awareness would slow down as well. Even if I couldplete my second reincarnation, I would stillg far behind more capable cats.¡±

    When she said that, Wheatley nced at Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°Guang Yu, are you going to run away with another cat?¡±

    Seeing the scared and worried look on Wheatley¡¯s face, Zhao Yao reassured her and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t run away with other cats.¡±

    Afterforting Wheatley, Zhao Yao returned to Earth and walked to the Cat Ind. The image of a person appeared in his mind.

    ¡°If looking to a cat doesn¡¯t work, I will have to find a person then.¡± Zhao Yao squinted as he thought, ¡°Hopefully the Cat Hunters have mastered the knowledge of the Awareness country.¡±

    Suddenly, Zhao Yao¡¯s phone rang. He picked up the call and asked, ¡°Uncle Ho?¡±

    The moment Zhao Yao answered the call, Uncle Ho shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao, is it true that you¡¯re going to duel with ck Phoenix?¡±

 Chapter 1026: Rumors

    <h4>Chapter 1026: Rumors</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    ¡°Huh?¡± Zhao Yao was confused. ¡°Duel?¡±

    Uncle Ho said, ¡°Quick, go online and check. There is news spreading all around saying that you¡¯re going to duel with ck Phoenix. What exactly is going on?¡±

    Zhao Yao ended the call and immediately went online to look up the news regarding him and ck Phoenix. A whole bunch of headlines appeared on the screen.

    ¡°Breaking! The two greatest apostles are dueling each other? It¡¯s actually because of her?¡±

    ¡°ck Phoenix challenges Zhao Yao to a duel. A truth which scientists don¡¯t dare to reveal, a truth even Jack Ma is shocked by.¡±

    ¡°The most beautiful apostle rises to poprity. Netizens im: Super Daniel Wu.¡±

    ¡°Super Daniel Wu?¡± A thin crack immediately appeared on the floor beneath Zhao Yao. He continued reading on in disdain.

    ¡°The reason for the battle is actually because of Zhao Yao¡¯s fear that ck Phoenix will be stronger?¡±

    ¡°The world¡¯s no. 1 spot is finally being contested!¡±

    ¡°ck Phoenix and Zhao Yao! Who will be the strongest apostle?¡±

    Zhao Yao continued reading on. The news about his duel with ck Phoenix were all over the Inte. However, he and ck Phoenix clearly were not the ones who started the rumors. Furthermore, much of the news sites and social media that reported on the duel were not in favor of him.

    ¡°What the. Fine if you don¡¯t say I¡¯m handsome, now you¡¯re actually doubting my superpowers?¡±

    Zhao Yao contacted Doll and said, ¡°Help me check something. Where exactly did the news of me and ck Phoenix having a duele from?

    Almost instantly, Doll replied Zhao Yao with the information he wanted.

    Zhao Yao opened the message Doll sent and found out that it was from a Weibo ount with the user ID ¡®Superpower Observer King¡¯. This was where the news of Zhao Yao and ck Phoenix dueling originated.

    ¡°Breaking news. ording to thetest news, Boss Zhao can no longer hold on to his seat.

    BP (ck Phoenix) is rising like a beast. Now, even the few strong apostles left are not willing to sh with him. Even Boss Zhao fears that BP will continue to grow stronger, hence he decided to strike first.¡±

    ¡°After hearing the voice recordings from various sources and what my friends had described, the most crucial point now is that both parties are unwilling to back down. One thinks he is the world¡¯s first, everyone must give face to him, while the other feels that he is capable enough to challenge that seat.¡±

    Many elders have advised him against it, but he will not budge on his decision. Everyone, let¡¯s just sit back and wait for the grand duel.¡±

    Zhao Yao nced through some of the posts on the user¡¯s Weibo ount. He realized that this ount was just a marketing ount that used these so-called breaking news to attract viewership and attention.

    Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°Everyone¡¯s attention to superpowers had been increasing ever since that time when I live streamed and fully exposed the existence of superpowers to people.¡±

    With a certain degree of viewership, there would certainly be benefits to be reaped from it. It was like people¡¯s attention to the entertainment industry. As the public became more and more interested in the superpower realm, all kinds of news, scoops and superpower celebrities all began to operate their own businesses.

    Hence, when rumors of Zhao Yao, the strongest apostle, and ck Phoenix, the hottest apostle on the Inte broke out, the news naturally spread like wildfire.

    Just as Zhao Yao was looking at that, Doll sent another message. ¡°Just a bunch of guys who just rely on creating rumors to hype up their viewership and earn money. Do you want me to delete their ounts?¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned. ¡°Let¡¯s not close their ounts first. Continue to check on their real identities. I want to see who it is that had the guts to tarnish my name like that.¡±

    ¡°Send their address to me.¡±

    ...

    In a condominium in Huadu.

    A middle-aged man eximed when he saw the figures on theputer screen, ¡°We have exceeded one million shares! Hahahaha, we are going to be really famous now!¡±

    A bespectacled young man asked worriedly, ¡°Do you think it¡¯s a good idea for us to do this? Zhao Yao and ck Phoenix won¡¯te and take revenge on us right?¡±

    ¡°What are you scared of?¡± The middle-aged man scoffed. ¡°At most they will just send awyer¡¯s letter over to sue us? Do you think he would actuallye and beat us up? That would be better actually, it would be even greater news.¡±

    The middle-aged man exined, ¡°Given their capabilities and standing, their every move would need to consider many other things. Why would theye and pick on us specifically? Furthermore, anyone with a bit of brains in them should know that we are just spreading rumors. Those who shared and believed the news are either just spreading the rumors for fun or just fools. It¡¯s nothing too serious.¡±

    The bespectacled young man was still worried. ¡°I heard that Zhao Yao is a petty man who is very vengeful. What if hees and attack us with his superpower?¡±

    ¡°Congrattions, you are right.¡±

    The two of them turned around and saw Zhao Yao walking in through the window, wearing a ck cloak.

    Zhao Yao stared at the two of them and asked, ¡°Did anyone instruct you to post that scoop?¡±

    ¡°Zhao... Zhao Yao?!¡± The middle-aged man was stunned for a while, but he immediately shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t act rashly! I have 24-hour surveince here. If do something to us I will expose you online immediately and you will be the top search in no time!¡±

    Zhao Yao chuckled. With a light wave of his hand, the dimension portal beside him had already crashed towards them, taking both men into the Extradimensional Belly.

    When both men entered the Extradimensional Belly, the first thing they saw were pairs of green and yellow eyes staring at them.

    Seeing more than a hundred cats gathered around them, the two men began to panic.

    The middle-aged man screamed, ¡°Zhao Yao! This is kidnapping! This is illegal detention! I am going to sue you for this!¡±

    ¡°Kidnap?¡± Zhao Yaoughed as he walked in through the dimension portal. He stared at the two of them and said, ¡°Since both of you were willing it doesn¡¯t count as kidnap...¡± He pped his hands and said to the cats around them, ¡°Let him eat shit.¡±

    The middle-aged man¡¯s heart pounded and the next moment, he felt himself being restrained by Ares¡¯ Deflective Field. He watched as the cats walked up to him one by one as he screamed, ¡°You can¡¯t... hurhur... hurhur....¡±

    Zhao Yao watched as the middle-aged man devoured the shit. He nced at the bespectacled youth at the side and asked, ¡°Who made you guys frame me online?¡±

    ¡°No... no one.¡± The bespectacled youth said nervously, ¡°It was King Bro who wanted to be famous on Weibo so he posted that. We just made up the news ourselves.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Zhao Yao stared at the two of them in disbelief. He asked Sheriff beside him, ¡°Is he speaking the truth?¡±

    Sheriff replied, ¡°He¡¯s saying what he feels in his heart.¡±

    Zhao Yao stared at the middle-aged man and waved at the cats to stop. He asked, ¡°You made this up?¡±

    The middle-aged man spat out the shit in his mouth before he shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao!! I will fight it out with you!!¡±

    ¡°Fight it out?¡± Zhao Yao chuckled. The Dragon ying Saber that was hanging on his neck vibrated slightly. Zhao Yao stroked the dagger and said, ¡°Did you see that? My Dragon ying Saber is craving some fresh blood again.¡±

    After a short while, the two men fell on their knees in fear. Zhao Yao sat on the sofa in front of them. He filed his nails with the Dragon ying Saber as he asked, ¡°You guys know what to post on Weibo from now on, right?¡±

    The middle-aged man nodded and said, ¡°I know, I know. We will definitely sing praises of you...¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡±

    When he felt as though the air around him turned still in that instant, the middle-aged man immediately said, ¡°I mean we will definitely report the truth and post about your coolness and power objectively and fairly.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and said, ¡°Tell the truth as it is. Don¡¯t feel pressured to do it. Oh right, about that ck Phoenix... Throw shade at him like your life depends on it.¡±

    He thought to himself, ¡°It would be too troublesome if I have toe out by myself every time to maintain poprity and attention. Having a bunch of marketing ounts and an army of fans is not too bad of an idea.¡±

    He said to Doll, ¡°Next, you will cooperate with him and share his post a billion times with five billion likes. Make this the trending topic across all the tforms there are out there. Make sure it hits the No. 2 trending spot at least a thousand times.¡±

    When the middle-aged man raised his head, he realized that Zhao Yao had already disappeared.

    Outside the room, Zhao Yao contacted Doll and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s that ck Phoenix at?¡±

    Doll replied, ¡°Let me look it up...¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Prepare a camera. I will need to live stream in a moment.¡±

    Doll asked curiously, ¡°Huh? Why would you need to live stream?¡±

    ¡°Of course I need to,¡± Zhao Yao retorted indignantly. ¡°What¡¯s the point of beating the sh*t out of him but I don¡¯t live stream it? How will I be famous like that? How can I act cool without that?¡±

    ...

    In a vi in California, United States.

    ¡°Haha, this is ridiculous.¡± A long-haired young many on the sofa, scrolling through his phone as he said, ¡°The news of me dueling with Zhao Yao suddenly spread like wildfire. I am even more famous in China now.¡±

    A golden-haired youngdy said at the side, ¡°Do you want to seriously consider dueling with Zhao Yao? Anyway, whether you win or lose, your poprity will still rise by a huge margin.¡±

    ck Phoenix wagged his finger and smirked as he said, ¡°There¡¯s no rush. I will go and challenge him when my abilities be stronger. If I want to fight, I would definitely want to win. Or else what¡¯s the point of picking a fight?¡±

    As he said that, he turned to a multi-colored cat at the side and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t it, Oliver?¡±

    The multi-colored cat meowed a few times. Behind that cat, there were three other cats lying on the sofa sleepily.

    These four cats were the source of ck Phoenix¡¯s confidence. Each of them had powers that were beyond ck Phoenix¡¯s imagination. It revolutionized his understanding of superpowers.

    It was also with their help that ck Phoenix could challenge the various strong apostles that were out there, even Zhao Yao.

    The multi-colored cat blinked a few times as he asked the other three cats, ¡°Why don¡¯t we just attack Closers World? How much longer must we wait?¡±

    Giggle, who possessed the body of a blue cat, said to him, ¡°If we attack Closers World directly, it is tantamount to battling with the Awarenesses of thousands of people. With Zhao Yao controlling the game, it will be a huge disadvantage against us.¡±

    These four cats shockingly turned out to be Giggle and three otherrades he had found. The three other cats came to Earth precisely for the purpose of dealing with Zhao Yao and snatching Closers World.

    However, Giggle, who had battled with Zhao Yao before, knew that he was not an easy opponent.

    ording to the information they had gathered, Zhao Yao seemed to have gained control of Closers World and continued to operate the game.

    Hence, Giggle decided not to forcefully attack Closers World and sh with Zhao Yao head on in the game itself. Rather, he opted to seek out the other party in the real world and ambush him with the help of the three other cats. Once they had defeated him, they would then reim Closers World.

    However, after Zhao Yao had concealed his identity, they were unable to find him for a brief period of time.

    Hence, they decided to use ck Phoenix to lure Zhao Yao out and ambush him.

    A white cat asked, ¡°I already controlled a few guys to spread the rumors online. However, Zhao Yao didn¡¯te and find ck Phoenix at all. Are you sure he will reallye?¡±

    Another ck cat said, ¡°Being the strongest man in this whole primitive, his capabilities surely surpasses that of others. He might just ignore these rumors and not seek out ck Phoenix at all.¡±

    ¡°No,¡± Giggle replied confidently, ¡°This petty... selfish... shameless b*stard will definitelye.¡± He scoffed, ¡°But never would he imagine that there would be four of us supremely strong supercats waiting to ambush him by ck Phoenix¡¯s side. Once he reveals himself, the four of us will strike together. He will definitely lose.¡±

    Giggle and the three cats were very confident of their n and so was ck Phoenix. ¡°Last Saturday I defeated the Supersonic Assassin. My ranking should rise to the top three soon enough. Once I am more ustomed to this power, I will surely be able to defeat Zhao Yao.¡±

    However, defeating Zhao Yao is only the start. With this power, I canpletely control all the governments in the world and reign as the ultimate emperor of Earth.¡±

    Just as ck Phoenix and Giggle were brimming with confidence thinking about the bright future ahead of them...

    Zhao Yao stood behind the dimension portal atop the vi as he slowly moved inside the vi.

    He took a look at ck Phoenix first before turning his gaze to the four cats on the sofa.

    ¡°LV 29, LV 25, LV 20 and LV 23.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes scanned across the heads of the four kittens. ¡°Is that Awareness? Where did these four alien catse from? The levels on their heads are so high, yet they¡¯re pretending to be earthling cats? Are they trying to ambush me?¡±

    Zhao Yao moved the dimension portal as he paced back and forth between ck Phoenix and the four cats.

    ¡°Luckily the Cat Prince Costume absorbed the skills from Wheatley¡¯s father. I shall cut off your escape routes first.¡± As he said that, Zhao Yao activated the power of Time Freeze.

    In the world of Time Freeze, the Level 49 power of Awareness emanated and spread out in all directions from the dimension portal, filling up the whole room.

    Dimension Seal!

    When time resumed its flow, 100 square meters of the Awareness Dimension had been temporarily sealed.

    Zhao Yao, who had the power of Time Freeze, did not care about hiding his identity. He unleashed the Level 49 power of Awareness with no qualms, instantly inciting a reaction from the four cats.

    Meow!

    As the meowing sounds rang out one after another, Giggle and the three cats tried to activate the power of Dimension Travel, but their bodies actually reappeared the moment it faded away.

    ¡°What a strong power of Awareness!¡±

    ¡°Who¡¯s using the Dimension Seal power?!¡±

    ck Phoenix felt an immense pressure crashing down all around him. As he was not aware of the levels of Awareness and the existence of a skill like the Dimension Seal, he immediately asked the four panicking cats, ¡°What¡¯s going on? Did something happen?¡±

    After casting the Dimension Seal. Zhao Yao stepped out of the dimension portal. He looked at the four cats and said, ¡°The four of you, are you guys from the Short Fur Tribe? Why did you guyse to Earth?¡±

    Giggle stared dumbstruck at Zhao Yao who stood before them. He could feel an enormous presence imposing pressure emanating from him. He asked in bewilderment, ¡°How can this be? You are Zhao Yao? How can you have such a strong power of Awareness?¡±

    Zhao Yao just sat on the sofa in the living room and said, ¡°I¡¯m the one asking you guys the questions. Answer me as you should, or else, don¡¯t me me for being mean.¡±

    The golden-haired girl by the side screamed, ¡°Zhao Yao?! What do you want!?¡±

    ck Phoenix stood in front of the golden-haired girl and said to Zhao Yao, ¡°Zhao Yao, those rumors about the duel have got nothing to do with me. You found the wrong person. Leave my house this instant!¡±

    Zhao Yaopletely ignored the two of them. He only stared at Giggle as he twitched his nose. The Awareness surrounding them all around swept across the bodies of the four cats like countless tentacles. Atst, he fixed his gaze on Giggle and said, ¡°You feel really familiar... Are you Giggle?¡±

    Giggle tried to put up a strong front as he shouted back, ¡°Zhao Yao! You smell familiar too. Is this the power of Awareness of another cat from the Short Fur Tribe? You¡¯re relying on another cat from the Short Fur Tribe?¡±

    The other three cats¡¯ expression changed when they heard that as well. If another stronger cat from the Short Fur Tribe took control of Earth and Zhao Yao, it would spell trouble for them.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s gaze fluttered as he said, ¡°So what? I can¡¯t believe you actually didn¡¯t die, and even brought some other cats here. Why, are you trying to snatch back Closers World?¡±

    Themunication between Zhao Yao and these cats were telepathic. To other people, it looked as if they were just staring down at each other intensively without speaking a word.

    Seeing how Zhao Yao was so fixated on the cats and did not give two hoots about himself, ck Phoenix could not help but say, ¡°Zhao Yao, are you even listening to me?! Leave my house immediately, or I will...¡±

    ¡°Shut up.¡± Zhao Yao casually pointed at ck Phoenix as the Deflective Field enclosed his mouth and eventually spread to his whole body, pressing him down on the sofa. ¡°Sit still. It¡¯s not your turn yet.¡±

    ¡°This guy!¡± ck Phoenix felt as though a mountain had crashed down on him as he couldn¡¯t even twitch a hair on his body.

    However, ck Phoenix did not give up. Instead, he activated the superpower that gave him so much pride.

    A Level 18 power of Awareness exploded from his body. Though he could not borrow the full powers of the alien cats, his current power was enough for him to ride the waves in the superpower realm.

    Awareness Distortion activated! ck Phoenix wanted to directly control Zhao Yao¡¯s body.

    However, he tried so hard but his efforts were fruitless. After defeating countless apostles with this ability, it failed to have any effect on Zhao Yao. This was the first time his power had failed to activate.

    If controlling humans and apostles were as easy as breathing and drinking water for him, his inability to enact his power on Zhao Yao was akin to using the strength of one man to move an entire.

    His ability was blocked on the spot,pletely unable to pierce through the supremely strong defensive force of the Level 49 power of Awareness.

    ¡°You!¡± ck Phoenix stared at Zhao Yao in disbelief. This was his first time being unable to activate his power, which put him at a loss of what to do.

    Zhao Yao turned and nced at ck Phoenix. He felt as though ck Phoenix had just used his ability to attack him. Zhao Yao simply pointed at him with his index finger in midair.

    A force strong enough to twist and contort steel columns entwined ck Phoenix¡¯s body along the contours of the Deflective Field. ck Phoenix¡¯s neck tilted slightly before itpletely broke apart.

    All the power ck Phoenix had flowed out of his body like water. He felt the world turning darker and darker as a sense of disbelief overwhelmed him.

    ¡°I... I¡¯m going to die?¡±

    ¡°Just... Just like that?¡±

    ¡°He... killed me just like that?¡±

    ¡°D*mn...¡±

    ¡°D*mn... D*mn d*mn d*mn...¡±

    Amidst his harrowing fear, ck Phoenix felt his vision ck outpletely into emptiness.

    With a wave of his hand, the dimension portal swooped forward and sucked ck Phoenix into the Extradimensional Belly. He said to the cats in the Extradimensional Belly, ¡°Send this guy to the front of the Door of Evesting Life and leave him there till Ie back.¡±

    When the golden-haired girl saw ck Phoenix being killed and suddenly disappearing in midair, she screamed in rm and stared at Zhao Yao in shock and overwhelming fear. Zhao Yao got annoyed by her expression and just pointed at her to knock her out.

    ¡°Great, now we can continue talking.¡± Zhao Yao stared at Giggle and the three cats as he said, ¡°Thanks foring all the way here. However, as you guys have seen, this already has a ruler.¡±

    Giggle stared at Zhao Yao nervously as he asked, ¡°Who¡¯s the cat backing you up?¡±

    The multi-colored cat said, ¡°That Awareness feels really familiar.¡±

    The white cat replied, ¡°It must be one of the cats from our Short Fur Tribe. A power like Dimension Seal is not a skill that anyone can easily learn.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that Short Fur Sage has his eyes on this ce?!¡±

    As he watched the cats conjuring up all sorts of possibilities in their minds and scaring themselves, Zhao Yao could not help chuckling as he said, ¡°That¡¯s right, at least you guys have some brains to think. This ce is already the Short Fur Sage, Grayley¡¯s, territory. My power and skills are all from him.¡±

    The Short Fur Sage Grayley was the cat Zhao Yao went to find when he went to learn the Dimension Seal skill previously. Although he did not even see what the cat looked like, it did not prevent him from using his name to spin this story.

    ¡°It¡¯s actually Grayley!¡± Giggle and the three cats immediately froze on the spot as fear shed across their faces.

    Zhao Yao thought to himself, ¡°Grayley¡¯s name seems pretty impressive to use.¡±

    He kept staring at Giggle¡¯s body as he was still the most interested in Giggle out of these four cats. After all, Giggle was the cat that had created Closers World. This meant that he had knowledge of the Awareness country. This was one of the things Zhao Yao really wanted to know about right now.

    Giggle and the other three cats exchanged nces as theymunicated telepathically and anxiously.

    ¡°Grayley actually set his sights here?¡±

    ¡°Does this guy want to construct an Awareness country here secretly as well?¡±

    ¡°Obviously. Which of the top ranking Short Fur Sages don¡¯t have their own Awareness country?¡± It was precisely because of the immensely strong powers of the Awareness country that made them ban other cats from constructing their own Awareness country.¡±

    ¡°The top few Sages all use the power of the Awareness country as a deterrent against others. The Sages were below them would surely try to find a way to do that as well.¡±

    ¡°We should escape immediately. Grayley is not one to be trifled with.¡±

    ¡°We would be doomed if he wants to silence us!!¡±

    Giggle said cautiously, ¡°Since Lord Grayley has set his sights on this ce, we will definitely not dare to take any part of it. If there¡¯s nothing else we will take our leave...¡±

    As they said that, the four cats immediately jumped off the sofa and ran towards the door of the house to run out of the area enclosed by the Dimension Seal and escape.

    Of course, Zhao Yao was not about to let them go that easily. With a light squeeze of his palm, power that could move mountains and rupture seas crashed down on the four cats through the use of the Deflective Field.

    ¡°Wait a minute. If the four of you leave, what would happen to the other two cats? How much longer are they going to hide on Earth?¡±

    ¡°There are more cats?¡± Giggle was stunned for a moment before he immediately replied, ¡°Only the four of us came this time. Aside from us, no other cats came... If there are more here , they have nothing to do with us.¡±

    The two other cats which Zhao Yao mentioned were of course lies to trick Giggle into revealing whatever information he knew. Seeing the fear in their faces, Zhao Yao believed that there could possibly only be the four of that came to Earth.

    Hence, Zhao Yao said again, ¡°Only these four kittens and you guys want to snatch the Awareness country? Humph, who are you kidding? Tell me, who¡¯s the cat behind you guys. Which cat in the Short Fur Tribe is secretly backing you guys up?¡±

    Giggle immediately shook his head rapidly as he squeaked, ¡°No, no, aside from the four of us...¡± Halfway through his words, Giggle suddenly reacted over and recalled something.

    ¡°If I say that there is really only the four of us who know...¡±

    Giggle stared at Zhao Yao, who looked as though he had ck smoke emanating from his body and seeping towards them.

    ¡°If I say that.. He might just torture us to death.¡±

    His tail slowly slumped on the ground as Giggle said to Zhao Yao, ¡°Hmm... We have already told Fei Fei about this... He knows we¡¯re here.¡±

    Hearing Giggle¡¯s words, the other three cats reacted immediately. They thought he was trying to intimidate Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao frowned. If there were other cats in the Short Fur Tribe who knew about the Awareness country that would really be more troublesome.

    ¡°I can only lock them up for now. The most important thing is still to see if I can get any information about the Awareness country from this guy.¡±

    Zhao Yao turned to Giggle as he stared at him greedily.

    After thinking about it, he pointed at them and activated the silver skill, Frost Dragon. Four rays of light immediately shot through the four cats.

    ¡°I can¡¯t seal the dimension for 24 hours every day. There is only one ce on Earth where I can lock these four cats up.¡±

    Zhao Yao stood up as he watched their thoughts freeze on the spot. He took out four Closers World game consoles from the dimension portal and put it on each of the four cats. He subsequently removed the Dimension Seal and started the game, transferring the Awareness of the four cats directly into Closers World.

    When Giggle and the other cats¡¯ thoughts started to flow again, they realized that they had been moved to a small house.

    They felt as though they were being suppressed by a pressure equivalent to that between Heaven and Earth. That was the might of the power of Closers World. Itpletely immobilized them.

    Zhao Yao smiled cheerfully as he walked towards them. He stared at Giggle happily as he said, ¡°Let¡¯s have a nice chat today.¡±

    ¡°No!¡±

    ¡°Stop right now!¡±

    ¡°Ah! I¡¯m going to die!¡±

    After half an hour, Zhao Yao walked out with a spring in his step. Although he did not manage to get all the information out of Giggle, he did manage to glean some knowledge about the Awareness country. As long as he continued with his methods, he would surely be able to get all the information he needed from Giggle.

    Right at that moment, Doll sent a Wechat message and asked, ¡°What are we going to do with ck Phoenix? Someone nearby had already called the police.¡±

    Zhao Yao just remembered that he kind of demolished ck Phoenix¡¯s house when he defeated him and took him into the dimension portal.

    In a few moments, Zhao Yao reached the Door of Evesting Life in the depths of the snowy mountains. ck Phoenix seemed to have frozenpletely. Zhao Yao casually picked him up and threw him into the Door of Evesting Life.

    Not long after, ck clouds billowed as ck Phoenix was thrown out of the Door, revived.

    ck Phoenix who was thrown out on the floor was still in a state of extreme fear after experiencing death. He slowly regained his senses as he raised his head and looked at the snowy world around him and also at Zhao Yao.

    ¡°I... didn¡¯t die?¡±

    ¡°What is going on?¡±

    ¡°What just happened?¡±

    Zhao Yao calmly said, ¡°Nothing. You almost died but I saved you, that¡¯s all.¡±

    As he stared at Zhao Yao standing before him, it finally dawned on ck Phoenix that the difference in power between him and this man was at a level beyond what he could ever imagine.

    ck Phoenix stared at Zhao Yao as he asked in a scared and nervous tone, ¡°What do you want? If you¡¯re talking about the duel, rest assured, I won¡¯t do such a dumb thing again...¡±

    He stared at Zhao Yao and emphasized every word as he said, ¡°All those who dream of wanting to duel with a monster like you, are all idiots.¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled. He stretched out his hand towards ck Phoenix, who was kneeling on the floor, and said, ¡°Be my son.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± ck Phoenix whipped his head up in astonishment.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s lips curled up in a smirk as he let Doll film him from a ttering angle.

    He stretched out his palm and repeated his words. ¡°Be my son, ck Phoenix.¡±

    The next day, ck Phoenix acknowledged Zhao Yao as his father. The video of Zhao Yao epting ck Phoenix as his godson spread like wildfire across the Inte, dispelling all the previous rumors at once.

    For the next few days, Zhao Yao asionally popped by the little ck house in Closers World to chat with the alien cats and especially with Giggle, to get to know more about the Awareness country from him.

    However, as there was a lot of knowledge about it which needed a lot of fact-checking, progress was slow.

    Days passed. As Zhao Yao was trying his best to learn about the Awareness country in the shortest period of time, Elizabeth had also finally reached Level 25. Zhao Yao decided on Dust Ball as the fifth supercat to be upgraded to Level 25.

    He would just need to wait for Dust Ball to reach Level 25 before this maximum level could be advanced again and allow him to continue leveling up all five supercats.

    Compared to the alien cat¡¯s power borrowed through the Cat Prince Costume, Zhao Yao still preferred the abilities of his own contracted cats in the Book.

    This morning, Zhao Yao was happily thinking of how the end of the month hade again, which meant another round of monthly payouts. He did not know how many experience points or rewards he would be able to gain this time round.

    He arrived at Frosted Teeth City as usual today. However, when he reached Wheatley¡¯s room, he saw a very nervous Wheatley as well as the serious looks on the cat ves beside her, including Red Sun and ck Dune.

    When Zhao Yao appeared, Wheatley immediately looked up and said, ¡°Guang Yu, you¡¯re here!¡± She stood up and continued, ¡°Let¡¯s go everyone. The General Assembly is about to start.¡±

    Zhao Yao was surprised. ¡°General Assembly? What¡¯s that?¡±

    On this rare asion, Wheatley¡¯s expression turned serious as she said, ¡°It¡¯s the General Assembly for War. We are about to go to war again.¡±

    Zhao Yao was even more surprised. ¡°War?¡±

    Red Sun scoffed as he said scornfully, ¡°You don¡¯t even know this? We Short Fur Tribe have always been fighting against the Long Fur Tribe by forming an alliance with the Furless Tribe. This three-pronged battle has been going on for decades.

    This time, the Long Fur Tribe has initiated an offensive after recuperating for two years. It¡¯s time for war again.¡±

    Wheatley sighed in resignation. ¡°I hate battles the most.¡±

    Next, Wheatley led her cat ves in activating Dimension Travel as they left the cat, Satol, directly and headed towards another star in the universe.

    The Short Fur Tribe, Furless Tribe and Long Fur Tribe each ruled over different stars in the Milky Way. Satol, the cat which Zhao Yao was on, was one of them.

    Zhao Yao followed Wheatley and the rest through the Awareness Dimension and back to the physical world. When they arrived, a that looked destroyed and broken, covered in magma with lightning thundering all around appeared before them. A half-destroyed moon continued to rotate about the.

    ¡°War Heris, the headquarters of the Furless Tribe.¡± Wheatley sighed and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    The next moment, the line of cat and humans traversed through the Awareness Dimension again. When Zhao Yao andpany arrived back in the physical world, rows of enormous steel fortresses appeared before them.

    Rows after rows of strongholds appeared on the surface of the like rolling mountains, making their scalp go numb just by looking at it.

    Even in midair, Zhao Yao could feel countless explosions of Awareness filling the sky around them, even sweeping past their bodies, as if it was confirming their identities.

    This was a that had beenpletely designed to be a battle stronghold. Even Zhao Yao gulped at the sight before him. It was his first time seeing such a magnificent scene.

    Wheatley led the crowd to a huge entrance. Immediately, a few Short Fur Tribe cat ves that were d in armor came forward to wee them.

    ¡°Are you Lord Wheatley? The meeting will begin tomorrow. Would the guests like to rest for a while first?¡±

    Wheatley twitched her lips in annoyance and said, ¡°Bring us to our rooms.¡±

    Wheatley and the rest followed the cat ves to travel through the Awareness Dimension again, arriving in front of a guest room.

    Just as Wheatley was about to walk into the room, a palm burst through the walls of the guest room and caught a cat ve beside Zhao Yao. The cat ve was thrown out andnded with a loud thud, mming right into a wall nearby. The cat ve let out an agonizing scream before he copsed on the floor.

    After retracting his arm, the man rubbed his elbow as barged through the walls of the guest room and walked out. Heughed sinisterly the moment he saw Wheatley. ¡°Wheatley, this is the new physical body I requested from the Furless Tribe. What do you think about it?¡±

    His gaze swept across Zhao Yao and gang, before turning to look at the cat ve he had injured gravely. He twitched his lips and said, ¡°The quality of your new cat ve still seems pretty bad. Why don¡¯t I just kill all of them so you can get a new team.¡± As he said that, he turned his gaze on Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao nced at the man who had just attacked them.

    ¡°He is more than 2.5 meters tall with a physique that is unnaturally strong for a human. His skin is glittering, so it doesn¡¯t seem like he has a normal epidermisyer either...¡± Zhao Yao was carefully analyzing all these details in his mind. ¡°When he opened his mouth just now... It looked like there were a few long fangs inside... Did he turn his teeth into a weapon as well?¡±

    ¡°This guy is obviously not a normal human being. The Furless Tribe... are they using human bodies to battle...?¡±

    His gazended on the man¡¯s head as he saw the Level 38bel hovering above.

    ¡°A Level 38 Awareness... The supercats from the Short Fur Tribe are all very strong indeed...¡±

    The man seemed to have noticed Zhao Yao observing him. He turned to Zhao Yao and smiled as he said, ¡°Wheatley, this cat ve of yours doesn¡¯t look very happy. Do you want me to teach him a lesson?¡±

    As he said that, he took a step out and stretched out his palm, as if he was going to grab Zhao Yao¡¯s head.

    ¡°Pi Pi! Stop!¡±

    Wheatley and Red Sun were about to step up to stop him. ¡°This is my cat ve. It¡¯s not in your ce to teach him a lesson.¡±

    In this tense situation, Zhao Yao lips suddenly curved into a smile and burst outughing at the muscr man before him.

    ¡°Hahahahahaha... Pi... Pi Pi?¡± Zhao Yao clutched his stomach as he pointed at the big bloke before him and said, ¡°You actually call yourself Pi Pi when you look like this?¡±

    He continuedughing as he said, ¡°Hahahaha, this is too funny... I can¡¯t, I can¡¯t even... This name is too stupid... I¡¯m dying it¡¯s too funny...¡±

    Wheatley was shrieking in her heart. All of them thought to themselves, ¡°Shit! Pi Pi hates beingughed at the most!¡±

    As he watched Zhao Yaough at him, the muscles all over Pi Pi¡¯s body vibrated as the veins on his head popped out one by one.

    Humph!

    Thick fumes of white smoke gushed out of Pi Pi¡¯s mouth and nostrils. A murderous glint shed across his eyes as he said to Zhao Yao word by word, ¡°You little cat ve, heh heh. You don¡¯t understand the gravity of the mistake you havemitted. I will let you...¡±

    Wheatley screamed, ¡°Enough, Pi Pi. If you dare touch my cat ve, I will tell Dad.¡±

    Red Sun stood before Zhao Yao and immediately exined to Pi Pi, ¡°Lord Pi Pi, this punk just became a cat ve not long ago. There are still many rules which he is not familiar with. He¡¯s just an ignorant country bumpkin. Don¡¯t take it to heart.¡±

    Red Sun broke out in a cold sweat as he stared nervously at Pi Pi before him. Although he borrowed his Awareness from the man¡¯s father and thus had an even stronger power of Awareness than the other party, it was still forbidden for humans to attack cats, be it in the Short Fur Tribe or the Furless Tribe.

    Furthermore, they were in Furless Tribe¡¯s headquarters, the war Heris.

    Once he attacked Pi Pi to save Guang Yu, he might just be killed on the spot by another cat or human.

    Furthermore, even though his power of Awareness was stronger than the other party, given the superhuman strength and physique of the man before him, the moment Red Sun made a move, he would probably be killed by the other party on the spot. Their distance was too close; he might not even have a chance to activate the power of Awareness in time.

    ¡°It¡¯s just killing a cat ve.¡± Pi Piughed mirthlessly. ¡°Surely Father wouldn¡¯t me me for that?¡±

    Just as the tension in the air became even more intense with both Wheatley and Red Sun profusely breaking out in cold sweat, Zhao Yao suddenly started to back away.

    Pi Pi smiled viciously as he asked, ¡°You only want to escape now. Isn¡¯t that a bit toote?¡±

    ¡°Urgh! So smelly!¡± Zhao Yao covered his nose as he continued backing off. He looked at Pi Pi and said, ¡°Hey big bloke, you¡¯re really disgusting. You just peed in front of everyone. Are you a pervert?¡±

    Pi Pi was stunned for a moment. He immediately felt that something was amiss and looked down at his pants. He did not realize that a huge wet patch had appeared on his crotch and an intense stench of urine came out of it.

    ¡°How is this possible?!!!¡±

    ¡°When did I even pee?!¡±

    ¡°But no one attacked me just now.¡±

    ¡°My five senses have been fixed on them all this while. Everyone here did not show any abnormal behavior... Which means...¡±

    ¡°I really peed my pants?!¡±

    At this moment, Pi Pi could not think of any other possible reason to exin how he had wet his pants. He began to suspect himself of peeing in his pants.

    Everyone else trying to hold theirughter in while looking confused and curious at the same time, while Zhao Yao just looked at him with contempt. When Pi Pi saw all the looks on their faces, the blood in his body boiled with rage and humiliation as his Awareness exploded with these feelings.

    ¡°You rascal! I will tear you apart!¡± However, the next moment, his face stiffened as he felt around his butt. ¡°How is this possible?¡±

    Zhao Yao chuckled as he pointed at Pi Pi and said, ¡°Hey big bloke. Are you thinking, ¡®how is this possible?¡¯, again?¡±

    ¡°You!¡± Pi Pi red furiously at Zhao Yao. ¡°You did this?¡±

    ¡°Hey hey, don¡¯t me me.¡± Zhao Yao waved his hands in denial and said, ¡°Given your abilities, you should be able to easily detect that I didn¡¯t move at all just now. I was just observing your actions and your panicked expression as I smelled a new pungent smelling from you...¡±

    Zhao Yao pointed at him and said with conviction, ¡°You must have shat in your pants!¡±

    ¡°Ah!!¡± Pi Pi bellowed in rage as he wanted to charge right up to Zhao Yao and tear him apart. However, his face changed again as he stared at his ballooning pants.

    ¡°How is this possible?!¡± Pi Pi was shrieking in his heart. ¡°Not again?¡±

    ¡°No... this can¡¯t be...¡± Pi Pi frantically scanned across the astonished, confused and gloating looks in the crowd before him. ¡°My eyes can even see the movement of particles in the air clearly, my skin can detect the gaze of all living beings. In that one minute just now, there was definitely no one who hade near me and no one who activated the power of Awareness. But why...¡±

    ¡°Why is my ass covered in a pile of shit? Did I really shit in my pants?¡±

    ¡°That can¡¯t be... I felt nothing at all... Given the sharpness of the senses of this body, I can even clearly sense the movement in my intestines. If it¡¯s really me... it¡¯s impossible for me to not have any feeling from it. Unless...¡±

    Zhao Yao pointed at Pi Pi and said, ¡°Judging from your bewildered expression, you must have bowel incontinence. Because in severe cases of incontinence, you won¡¯t be able to feel yourself peeing or shitting.¡±

    Pi Pi was stunned beyond words.

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°First it was peeing, then it was shitting. Did you pee in your pants because you were scared when you saw me?¡±

    Seeing the rage in the man¡¯s eyes, Zhao Yao immediately smiled and said, ¡°To have incontinence even with such a strong body, is it because of the mismatch between your Awareness and physique? Is the human or cat who gave you this body doing that responsibly? Is there something wrong with your body now? Will you lose control of yourself and will other problems arise? Will you break down self-destructively eventually?¡±

    Pi Pi¡¯s expression turned even graver as he heard Zhao Yao¡¯s analysis of his situation. When he heard thest sentence, he jumped up with all his might and disappeared in a sh.

    ¡°Little cat ve. Just wait, I wille for you next time.¡±

    Looking at Pi Pi who had gone far off, Wheatley and Red Sun finally rxed.

    Wheatley said, ¡°That scared me, Guang Yu. Thank goodness something went wrong with his body and he left.¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled and said, ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with his body. I just stuffed dirty things in his pants.¡±

    Red Sun scolded him in rage, ¡°Stop saying nonsense, do you know how lucky you are today? Your luck won¡¯t be so good all the time. Don¡¯t spout rubbish again and offend other cats!¡±

    Zhao Yao just smiled. He did not continue speaking, but in his heart he became even more cautious of the alien cats¡¯ powers.

    The Short Fur Tribe¡¯s power of Awareness was already a difficult power to deal with by itself. Coupled with that kind of superhuman physique, it would make their capabilities revolutionary.

    Next, Zhao Yao, Wheatley and the rest stayed in the guest house. Zhao Yao seized the chance to return to Closers World and talk to Giggle and the other cats, collecting information about the Awareness country, as well as the Short Fur Tribe and the Furless Tribe. After all, even Zhao Yao felt a sense of urgency while he was on the war.

    In Closers World, Diana and Catherine rested on the clouds above and listened to the unending screamsing from the little ck house. They shook their heads as Diana said, ¡°What¡¯s up with Zhao Yao nowadays, he¡¯s pushing himself so hard. It¡¯s as if he¡¯s a fake Zhao Yao.¡±

    Catherine said, ¡°Maybe he¡¯s facing a mid-life crisis. He¡¯s almost 30 years old. He hasn¡¯t gotten married and doesn¡¯t even have a girlfriend. He doesn¡¯t take care of his appearance and only knows hows to bully cats at home all day long... How perverted.¡±

    In the little ck house, Zhao Yao pursed his lips. ¡°What do these two silly cats know? It¡¯s all because of those alien cats.¡±

    Thinking about how he had been working so head for the past half of the year, Zhao Yao became angry. The more he thought about it the angrier he became.

    ¡°My life motto is to live an easy life and enjoy the fruits without thebor. Now I¡¯m actually being forced to work hard everyday to be stronger.¡±

    He grabbed Giggle and snipped away at his fur irrationally. ¡°It¡¯s all because of you guys!¡±

    ¡°Quick tell me all the information you know or I¡¯ll snip off your balls!¡±

    ¡°Meow!!!!!¡±

    A night of the sped up dreamscape passed. Everything was peaceful and no one knew where Pi Pi went. Anyway, he did note back for Zhao Yao again.

    After slogging away for a night, Zhao Yao got much of the information he needed about the Short Fur Tribe, Furless Tribe and the war. The information he had about the Awareness country was filled in by a huge margin as well.

    ¡°I¡¯m almost there. At this rate, I would just need another one or two days to finish analyzing Giggle¡¯s information about the Awareness country. After which, I will be able to upgrade Closers World myself.¡±

    Early in the morning the next day, ck Dune came to find Zhao Yao not long after he returned to the guest house to prepare to go for the Assembly.

    Walking amidst the steel strongholds, Zhao Yao could see that there were a lot of Furless Tribe cat ve soldiers around. The lowest levels among them were all above Level 10 while the higher levels were above Level 20.

    What made Zhao Yao even more surprised was the physique of these Furless Tribe cat ves.

    Almost all of them had a superhuman physique which alone could allow them to survive for long periods of time in the universe.

    The cat ves that filled the whole war were in fact a superhuman unit.

    ¡°What Giggle and the rest said were true. The supercats from the Furless Tribe had the power to strengthen, reconstruct, and evolve physical bodies. Even if their apostles lost their superpowers, the only thing they would lose was the power of Awareness. They would still retain their superhuman physiques.¡±

    ¡°The way they use the power of Awareness was different from that of the Short Fur Tribe too...¡±

    At that moment, Zhao Yao stared at the cat ves from the Short Fur Tribe. The information Giggle revealed to him yesterday kept reying in his mind.

    Unlike the Short Fur Tribe, which used the power of Awareness to conduct all sorts of Awareness distortion, Awareness control and even Awareness attacks, the Furless Tribe only used the power of Awareness for strengthening their physical bodies.

    After much onerous training, they reached a stage where their Awareness and physique merged into one. Their Awareness was fully locked into their physical bodies and inseparable.

    Their power of Awareness could not leave their bodies or be used in attacks, and it certainly could not be used to traverse through the Awareness Dimension.

    After sacrificing all those unique powers of Awareness, what they got in return was an unbelievably scary, immensely strong, powerful and sturdy physique.

    After their Awareness and physical bodies merged, the strength of their bodies were unimaginable. At the same time, their superhuman defense far exceeded that of simr supernatural beings.

    ¡°They are like super sandbags, with long, tank-like blood vessels,¡± Zhao Yao thought. ¡°It might be even scarier than the physical body Pi Pi controlled yesterday.¡±

    Sensing the moodiness in the atmosphere, ck Dune looked at the broken moon in the sky and asked, ¡°The moon here looks really weird. Why is in such a deformed shape? Did some sort of astronomical disaster happen before?¡±

    Red Sun and Wheatley paused for a moment.

    Red Sun paused and stared at the half-broken moon in the sky. He said in a soft voice, ¡°That moon broke apart when something crashed into it.¡±

    ¡°Something crashed into it!!¡± ck Dune stared at the deformed moon in astonishment.

    Blue Moon, who came along with them, asked in bewilderment, ¡°How is that possible? Such a... such a huge moon actually...¡±

    Red Sun¡¯s expression wasplicated. He exined, ¡°It was broken by the previous Cat King of the Furless Tribe.¡±

    Everyone was astonished and awestruck by what he had just said. ck Dune asked, ¡°They actually broke the moon around the headquarters. Does that mean the Long Fur Tribe cats had attacked them?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Wheatley pursed her lips before she continued, ¡°It was broken in battle with the current Cat King of the Furless Tribe, White Short Star, as the two cats were fighting for the throne. These muscr babarians from the Furless Tribe are hopeless. They only know how to solve their problems with brute force.¡±

    Seeing the shocked faces around her, Wheatley said, ¡°You guys will understand once you see more battles with the Furless Tribe in it. These guys¡¯ physical bodies are constantly evolving and have unimaginable power. They have super defensive powers, so when they fight, it is very normal to see destruction in the environment.¡±

    Zhao Yao was analyzing all that he heard in his heart. ¡°If they can break the moon apart, it is not just immense powers. It would also require a gigantic and sturdy physique. All three conditions must be present... in that case, the cats in the Furless Tribe...¡±

    Gasps and shouts of astonishment filled Zhao Yao¡¯s ears as the spot they were standing at had been enveloped by a huge shadow.

    Zhao Yao looked up and saw a huge ck shadow standing atop them.

    It was a furless cat with a body that was hundreds of meters long.

    The gigantic cat materialized in thin air and flew across their heads, before it slowlynded at the field not far away from them.

    It took a light step on the ground, instantly creating booming vibrations, as if there was a mini earthquake going on.

    When its tail swept across the air, huge gusts of strong wind swept across them, which sent Zhao Yao¡¯s hair flying.

    ¡°Level... 70?¡± Zhao Yao stared at the gigantic cat before him and fixed his gaze on the cat¡¯s head. This alien cat had the highest level of Awareness he had ever seen in his life.

    From its huge physical body, Zhao Yao could feel a shocking wave of strength, power and grandeur emanating from this cat.

    ¡°I want!¡± Zhao Yao looked at the huge cat who had the greatest power of awareness that he had seen. A great desire surged within him. ¡°I want! I want this cat!¡±

    Thinking of how he was going to ride,y and stand on such enormous cat, he became excited.

    ¡°What¡¯s with you Guang Yu?¡± Wheatley felt Zhao Yao was acting weird and looked at him curiously.

    Zhao Yao suppressed his excitement and shook his head as he said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯m excited to see such arge cat.¡± He turned to Wheatley and asked, ¡°Is this cat the Cat King of the Furless Tribe?¡±

    ¡°Of course not. That¡¯s one of the eight Furless Tribe¡¯s Huge Cat God.¡± Wheatley said, ¡°Furless Tribe¡¯s Cat King, White Short Star, is muchrger than he...¡± After some recalling, she stretched her hand. ¡°Very, very, veryrge!¡±

    Zhao Yao asked curiously, ¡°Two times? Three times? Or ten times?¡±

    Wheatley frowned as she calcted mentally the size difference. Finally, she pouted her lips and said, ¡°This is a secret! How could I tell you?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Her mathematics are bad. She can¡¯t even calcte the difference.¡±

    Zhao Yao was excited by the information about White Short Star. To capture those cats, he had to put in more effort.

    Zhao Yao followed Wheatley to the stronghold¡¯s huge hall.

    The hall did not have ceilings but was exposed to the night sky. The length and width were too huge to see the ends. The hall was like a huge open za.

    There were lots of various colored and sized supercats with their cat ves at the za.

    Zhao Yao surveyed the supercats and observed different levels shown above their heads.

    ording to his intelligence, only important cats from the Short Fur and Furless Tribe attended this meeting. Most of them were very powerful. Only a small portion were of Level 10 to Level 20 and they had powerful support behind them.

    Before the start of the meeting, Zhao Yao observed that the supercats only mingled with those of simr levels. It was rare to see supercats with huge level difference mingling together.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes focused on Pi Pi, whom he met yesterday. Pi Pi had a height of 2.5 meters and was mingling with other supercats.

    Zhao Yao observed the level indicators above their heads and they were Level 30 to Level 40 supercats or humans.

    Sensing Zhao Yao¡¯s gaze, Pi Pi turned his head and smiled cruelly before ignoring him totally.

    ¡°He¡¯s vengeful,¡± Zhao Yao thought. ¡°ording to Wheatley, he¡¯s her big brother. This is troublesome.¡±

    Wheatley found a ce to settle down but did not mingle with other supercats. Instead, she grabbed Zhao Yao¡¯s arm and said yfully, ¡°Guang Yu! You haven¡¯t told me the story for today, quickly tell me the story!¡±

    Zhao Yao told his story to Wheatley while he observed the crowd in the great hall. Soon he discovered something unusual.

    He saw several furless cats, who were a few hundred meters long, sprawling like ranges of mountains. Their eyes moved around as theymunicated telepathically. The Level 70 furless cat whom Zhao Yao had seen before was among them.

    A few furless cats, who were about a hundred to two hundred meters long, rested on the ground as theymunicated telepathically. Zhao Yao noticed that they were Level 60 to Level 70 supercats.

    There were also three-headed cats, eight-wed cats, feline humans who were standing on hind legs andrge cats with armor scales...

    The cats of the Furless Tribe were not just merely huge and powerful. They adapted to different environments and survival needs, hence they developed various strange appearances.

    ¡°I¡¯d love to capture all of them.¡± Zhao Yao licked his lips.

    Cats of the Short Fur Tribe looked ordinary and were simr to the Earth¡¯s cats. The other difference was that they were more spiritual.

    As Zhao Yao told his story to Wheatley, a meow rang in the hall. Zhao Yao turned to see a grey cat meowing at his own family member.

    With this meowing, the mingling supercats returned to their own families.

    Wheatley brought Zhao Yao to her family¡¯s spot.

    Wheatley¡¯s father was standing in the front while Pi Pi stood near Wheatley. The white cat Ya Xing, whom Zhao Yao had met before, also appeared.

    Looking at the cat who had killed him before, Zhao Yao was stunned as the level indicated had dropped from the previous Level 30 to Level 25.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°He has be weaker? No, this should be due to injury. Was it caused by the Cat Hunters?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the cat beside Wheatley¡¯s father. The gray cat¡¯s fur was shiny but there were no messy clumps. The gray cat sat quietly and was unaffected by the surroundings.

    Zhao Yao was surprised that the grey cat was a super strong Level 72 supercat.

    After ck Dune¡¯s introduction, Zhao Yao got to know that this shocking gray cat was the most powerful cat in Wheatley¡¯s family. He was Wheatley¡¯s grandfather, the Short Fur Sage Grayley. He taught Wheatley and Zhao Yao the Dimension Seal.

    The most powerful cat in the Short Fur Tribe was the Whitehand Grandmaster. Theoretically, he ruled over all the supercats in the Short Fur Tribe.

    And below him were twelve supercat families. Wheatley¡¯s grayback family was one of them.

    The Whitehand Grandmaster and the twelve families controlled the fate of the Short Fur Tribe.

    A majestic power of awareness emanated from the thin air and engulfed everyone as though they were submerged 10,000 meters below water. Everyone felt they were filled with the grand power of awareness.

    ¡°This powerful energy...¡± Red Sun looked at the direction of the energy. ¡°The Grandmaster¡¯s here!¡±

    With a series of exmations, a huge cat figure emerged from the middle of the hall. The figure shed and transformed into a gray cat squatting on the ground.

    The body of the ancient cat was full of gray fur while the paws were covered with white fur.

    The ancient cat gave a worldly wise aura of graceful aging.

    Its body was frail and declining. The muscles on the face were droopy and there were a few strands of white fur on the head. The four paws were licked shiny to the point of luminous but they were unable to hide his frailness.

    From the human¡¯s view point, it was difficult to ascertain his age by observation.

    Zhao Yap was able to sense his aging through his appearance.

    The Whitehand Grandmaster was the leader of the Short Fur Tribe and was 50 years of age.

    Zhao Yao looked at the Whitehand Grandmaster¡¯s head.

    ¡°Level 99!¡±

 Chapter 1033: White Short Star

    <h4>Chapter 1033: White Short Star</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    Seeing this cat, Zhao Yao understood that this Level 99 cat was the strongest Short Fur Tribe supercat, the Whitehand Grandmaster.

    ¡°Oops, my desire¡¯s acting up again.¡±

    Zhao Yao wanted to put the cat into his arms and cuddle him to his heart¡¯s content. Then he would bring the cat home and never let the cat go out.

    A strong power of awareness flooded the hall and everyone heard the frail voice of the Whitehand Grandmaster in their minds.

    ¡°White Short Star? Everyone¡¯s here, how long do you intend to sleep?¡±

    Everyone kept very quiet and not a sound was heard in the hall.

    The ground quaked for a while.

    ¡°What¡¯s happening? Is that an earthquake?¡± Zhao Yao frowned and felt the series of quakinging from the ground. He lifted his head. ¡°No, not earthquake. It¡¯s a slight change in gravity.¡±

    ¡°The cause of the change...¡±

    Zhao Yao lifted his head to observe the night sky. The broken moon rotated and revealed its back to the alien.

    A huge cat head upied two thirds of the surface area of the moon.

    The cat turned his eyeballs and his huge pupils looked coldly at the supercats in the great hall.

    Zhao Yao was shocked. ¡°Is this cat... overdoing it?! Wait, we¡¯re at least tens of thousands of kilometers away from the moon? The power of awareness of the Whitehand Grandmaster can be transmitted over such huge distance?!

    Isn¡¯t it covering the war and the surrounding night sky? No, covering and broadcasting is different. To be able to transmit power of awareness a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers... is perversion.¡±

    The supercats and cat ves eximed in shock as they did not know that the White Short Star had be that big.

    ¡°What did White Short Star do?

    ¡°Did he swallow the moon?¡±

    ¡°The moon¡¯s big, could his real body do it?¡±

    ¡°His body is no longer a basic one.¡±

    The forehead of the cat moon face undted like mountains and valleys which transformed into the image of the furless cat. He leaped in the direction of the great hall.

    This was White Short Star separating himself from his flesh body. He used his avatar to attend the meeting.

    The cat moon face closed his eyes and continued sleeping.

    ¡°Avatar?¡± Zhao Yao was shocked. ¡°Is the avatar thatrge? The size and distance... Is he going to kill all of us in the hall?¡±

    The cat avatar shed and vanished into the night sky.

    Everyone¡¯s vision became dark and the great hall was covered by arge shadow. Zhao Yao lifted his head and saw a gigantic furless cat covering the sky above the great hall.

    Zhao Yao was surprised as he said, ¡°Teleportation? White Short Star has other superpowers?¡±

    ¡°Not other superpowers.¡± Red Sun said, ¡°It¡¯s Space Fold. He¡¯s using energy that is capable of destroyings to squeeze time and space. The effect¡¯s simr to teleportation.¡±

    ¡°Using his body¡¯s power to fold time and space?¡± Zhao Yao looked bewildered at the gigantic cat in the sky and thought, ¡°A huge could squeeze space but a cat... it¡¯s not logical.¡±

    The gigantic cat turned his head and said, ¡°Still... toorge...¡±

    The gigantic cat distorted his body and shrunk himself rapidly to be a dozen meters tall. Then hended on the ground.

    ¡°No, not the ground.¡± Zhao Yao looked at the cat¡¯s heel. ¡°If that weightnded on the ground, the great hall would be ttened. His leg...¡±

    Zhao Yao saw clearly that his leg did not touch the ground but floated a few meters above the ground. His body was filled with waves of distorted grains.

    Seeing Zhao Yao¡¯s puzzled gaze, Red Sun exined, ¡°That¡¯s Lord White Short Star distorting time and space to reduce his impact on the environment.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked in disbelief at Red Sun. Then he looked at the Whitehand Grandmaster and White Short Star. The more he looked at them, the more he liked them.

    He had flexible sizes, was soft and was able to contract and expand with ease. He was a good cat.

    Zhao Yao understood that the flesh body of the Furless Tribe was not limited to bing stronger but was able to adapt to and surpass the universe.

    The level indicator above the White Short Star was even more astonishing. It was Level 100.

    ording to Zhao Yao¡¯s estimate, even if Whitehand Grandmaster was unable to defeat White Short Star, he could use the Dimension travel to fight or retreat. White Short Star¡¯s ¡°leap¡± required vast amounts of energy and was not flexible. He was unlikely to pursue Whitehand Grandmaster.

    White Short Star, who had sessfullynded, blinked his eyes and twisted his neck. His eyes were half closed and looked sleepily at Whitehand Grandmaster.

    ¡°You are...¡± White Short Star said in a daze. ¡°Who? Who¡¯s waking me?¡±

    Whitehand Grandmaster exhaled and licked his paws to control his temper.

    Red Huge Star, a hill-sized Cat God, hurried behind White Short Star and said telepathically, ¡°Boss, the Long Fur Tribe attacked us. We are discussing the war with the Short Fur Tribe today.¡±

    The White Short Star tilted his head and raised his paw to touch his ear. He said slightly dazed, ¡°Ah?¡±

    Whitehand Grandmaster swung his tail and thought, ¡°I have already advised the Furless Tribe not to select their leader ording to their fighting prowess as they would select an idiot for a leader. I¡¯m right, as expected.¡±

    Red Huge Star exined with embarrassment, ¡°Apologies, my boss is not fully awake. He¡¯ll be alright in a while.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s that? I¡¯m not interested in wasting time waiting for him. Do you know how old I am? Do you know how precious time is to me?¡±

    Whitehand Grandmaster activated his power of awareness and rays of white light pounded on White Short Star¡¯s body.

    Violent fury, confusion, unconsciousness, depression and hopelessness... a series of disruptive emotionsnded on White Short Star and exploded inside of him. The emotions would have caused an ordinary person to go insane.

    The eyes of White Short Star opened abruptly and he looked fiercely at Whitehand Grandmaster. Then he calmed down, sprawled on the ground, pushed up his buttocks and stretched his back.

    Sounds of his bones cracking were heard and they sounded like the booms of a copsing mountain.

    White Short Star shook his head and said, ¡°Thank you. I¡¯m awake now.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Whitehand Grandmaster said, ¡°Let¡¯s discuss in detail how to fight the war.¡±

    Red Huge Star said, ¡°The attack from the Long Fur Tribe was extremely fierce and they attacked 15 of ours, 7 of our sectors and over 3 million cat ves. We have to gather our forces quickly and retaliate.¡±

    As the Cat God spoke, his body undted and part of his back transformed into arge star map that showed the battle situation.

    ¡°They are not simply intruding and raiding. ording to information from the battlefield, the Long Fur Tribe was building starports, stargates and strongholds.¡± He said grimly, ¡°They¡¯re upying thes they attacked.¡±

    The war between the Short Fur, Furless and Long Fur Tribessted decades with sporadic fighting and stopping. The actions included raids for humans and resources or damaging each other¡¯s power. It was rare to see upation ofs and expansion of territories.

    The power of the tribes were quite evenly matched. The Long Fur Tribe was unable to guarantee that they could continue winning so they did not spend resources constructing on the battlefield.

    The Long Fur Tribe¡¯s construction of infrastructure indicated they were upying thes that they had won.

    The supercats in the hall frowned as it was bad news.

    ¡°This time, the scale of the war will be huge.¡± Whitehand Grandmaster said, ¡°No one will be spared...¡±

    The Short Fur and Furless Tribe were taken by surprise by the sudden brutal attack of the Long Fur Tribe. The Furless Tribe would lead the retaliation by traveling the Awareness Dimension to harass and collect information about the enemy.

    The Short Fur Tribe required time to gather their forces and prepare for war.

    The 12 families of the Short Fur Tribe were allocated different battle sectors. Wheatley¡¯s family were assigned a specific location.

    In the internal family meeting, as Wheatley¡¯sbat prowess was not strong, she was not assigned specific battle missions. Instead, she was relegated to the reserve force.

    Pi Pi sneered and said, ¡°Father, Wheatley¡¯s not participating in the battles. Why doesn¡¯t she lend me her cat ve?¡± His gaze fell on Zhao Yao and he said, ¡°I heard she has a powerful cat ve. Isn¡¯t it a waste to put such a cat ve under her?¡±

    Wheatley looked angrily at Pi Pi and said red-faced, ¡°He¡¯s my cat ve! You¡¯ll not snatch him away from me!¡±

    Pi Pi did not look at Wheatley. He gazed at his father and said, ¡°Father, the enemy¡¯s at our doorstep. We can¡¯t afford to waste valuable resources.¡±

    Wheatley looked at her father with a pitiful face as she was worried that Guang Yu would be snatched away. She would not have stories to listen to and no sanitary pads to use. What if Pi Pi refused to return Guang Yu, especially when he was extremely glib tongued.

    Zhao Yao did not have Wheatley¡¯s concern. He recalled Pi Pi¡¯s malicious gaze and was worried that Pi Pi would try to kill him within a few days. Should he capture Pi Pi and teach him a lesson in the small ck hut?

    Wheatley¡¯s father pondered hard as his tail wagged a few times. ¡°Pi Pi¡¯s right. Wheatley, you can¡¯t be willful. This is war and victory¡¯s more important. It¡¯s a waste for Guang Yu to stay under you. Lend him to me for a period of time.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Pi Pi was stunned. ¡°Father, why...¡±

    Wheatley¡¯s father red at him and said, ¡°Guang Yu¡¯s able to ept my superpower. Isn¡¯t it more effective for him to stay under me?¡±

    Pi Pi gritted his teeth and red unhappily at Zhao Yao.

    ¡°But...¡± Pi Pi turned to look at Guang Yu. ¡°He¡¯s a new cat ve and was not properly trained. His loyalty¡¯s not as dependable as Red Sun. It¡¯s dangerous to endow him with too much superpower.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll use him after aplete awareness distortion...¡±

    Zhao Yao felt his hair standing on end as he observed Wheatley¡¯s malevolent gaze.

    ¡°He¡¯s trying to control mepletely...¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes shed. ¡°I can¡¯t use brute force. The War has a lot of powerful supercats. I¡¯ll be in trouble if they attacked me. And that powerful...¡±

    He turned his gaze to the dazed Short Fur Sage Grayley.

    He was daydreaming throughout the entire meeting but nobody dared to show disrespect to him.

    During Pi Pi, Wheatley and her dad¡¯s conversation, everyone were more or less focused on Zhao Yao.

    Ya Xing, who was deep in thought, looked at Zhao Yao and frowned. ¡°He... looks familiar.¡±

    He recalled Zhao Yao¡¯s identity. Zhao Yao was themoner in Frosted Teeth City who was shredded by his power of awareness.

    Ya Xing thought, ¡°Oh? He didn¡¯t die? He revived after his awareness was destroyed? Humph, interesting.¡±

    Sensing everyone¡¯s gaze, Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Why don¡¯t I pretend I¡¯m being controlled. I¡¯m confident of that.¡±

    ¡°Since I¡¯m pretending, I¡¯ll do something more extreme.¡±

    Zhao Yao could not help ncing at Grayley as his indicator of Level 72 was too alluring and Zhao Yao was tempted.

    ¡°Whitehand Grandmaster and White Short Star... Borrowing their power is too difficult. Wheatley¡¯s father will not want to lose a powerful cat ve and will not lend me to Whitehand Grandmaster.¡±

    ¡°If I borrow Grayley¡¯s superpower, the chances of sess are higher.¡±

    As Zhao Yao was considering the details, the panel on Book shed with new mission.

    Mission: Bold Deception

    Mission Objective: How can you let a Level 72 supercat slip through you? Do what you are supposed to do.

    Reward: After analyzing strong power of awareness, Book will gain more knowledge. Use the Cat Prince Costume to borrow Grayley¡¯s superpower. After sess, the diamond hall will have new items.

    Penalty: None.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes glimmered. The diamond hall had not had new items for some time. Analyzing strong power of awareness to unlock new items was something he looked forward to.

    ¡°If I fail, I¡¯ll use Time Freeze and the Dimension Portal to escape. I¡¯ll frame the Long Fur Tribe too.¡±

    After thinking for a while, Zhao Yao led the crowd¡¯s gaze to Wheatley¡¯s father. ¡°Everyone, please listen to me.¡±

    ¡°As a cat ve, if I can ept superpower from supercats perfectly, then the stronger the cat, the better it will be. I will be able to fully use my potential.¡±

    Zhao Yao activated Time Freeze and used his Level 49 awareness to attack the three cat ves behind Pi Pi before deactivating his superpowers.

    He secretly imnted an order in the awareness of the three cat ves.

    A bearded cat ve jumped out from behind Pi Pi and said, ¡°ept superpowers perfectly? Only a genius cat ve that appears once in a blue moon can do that. There are no such people in the Short Fur Tribe.¡±

    Zhao Yao braced his chest and said, ¡°Correct! I¡¯m obviously that genius cat ve, so I¡¯m able to ept Fei Fei¡¯s (Wheatley¡¯s father) superpower.¡±

    ¡°Nonsense.¡± A thin cat ve behind Pi Pi said, ¡°Do you know what that means? That¡¯s a one in a million chance! We¡¯ve only managed to find one so far! Stop dreaming!¡±

    Pi Pi nodded his head and was shocked when a tall cat ve behind him jumped out and shouted, ¡°If you have the potential, then you should be Lord Grayley¡¯s cat ve! Borrow his superpower and go to war! It¡¯s obvious that you are not the one.¡±

    Pi Pi shouted angrily, ¡°Shut up.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Pi Pi, don¡¯t be angry. I think your cat ves are correct. I¡¯m willing to ept Lord Grayley¡¯s superpower and fight for Short Fur Tribe! I¡¯ll go through danger and even death to protect and fight for our tribe.¡±

    The other supercats¡¯ eyes lit up when they heard Zhao Yao¡¯s words. ¡°This cat ve¡¯s glib-tongued. Perhaps, he¡¯s the rare cat ve.¡±

    Wheatley thought, ¡°He¡¯s indeed my genius cat ve who can provide my sanitary pads. He¡¯s my greatest treasure.¡±

    The cat ves behind Pi Pi raised their hands and shouted, ¡°Let him try! Let him try! Let him try!¡±

    Pi Pi was infuriated. ¡°Get out the three of you!¡±

    Wheatley¡¯s father nced at Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°Do you know how powerful Grayley¡¯s superpower is? If you¡¯re overloaded, you¡¯ll die.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°For cuddling... For the Short Fur Tribe, I¡¯m willing to try even if it costs me my life.¡±

    Wheatley¡¯s father pondered and nodded as he said, ¡°I¡¯ll let you try.¡± He turned to look at the dazed Grayley and said, ¡°Father, wake up. I have important things to tell you.¡±

    Seeing Grayley gaping and salivating in his daydreams, Fei Fei rubbed his father¡¯s chin reluctantly. ¡°Father, the meeting¡¯s over.¡±

    Grayley shivered and yawned. ¡°Over? Carry on while I return. I have important experiments to do...¡±

    Fei Fei rolled his eyes and bit Grayley¡¯s tail. ¡°Wait!¡±

    Fei Fei told Grayley about Zhao Yao and asked, ¡°Father, what do you think? Do you want to lend him your superpower?¡±

    ¡°Hmm, let¡¯s try.¡± Grayley was solemn and squinted his eyes at Zhao Yao.

    Fei Fei said telepathically, ¡°Father, don¡¯t forget to control him first.¡±

    Grayley had a Level 72 awareness that was the most powerful in the family. If Zhao Yao was able to borrow his superpower, Zhao Yao would be the second most powerful warrior in the family.

    Grayley was cautious as Zhao Yao was not rted to him by blood. He had to control Zhao Yao properly to ensure there were no problems.

    Grayley nodded and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I don¡¯t have Alzheimer¡¯s disease. Yes, who¡¯s Guang Yu?¡±

    Fei Fei pointed at Zhao Yao and Grayley shed and caressed Pi Pi¡¯s head. ¡°Good kid and pretty strong too. Borrow my superpower...¡±

    ¡°Father!¡± Fei Fei said helplessly, ¡°That¡¯s not Guang Yu. He¡¯s your grandson Pi Pi.¡±

    Pi Pi rubbed his bald head on Grayley and said, ¡°Grandfather, I¡¯m Pi Pi.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Grayley looked surprised at the 2.5 meters tall Pi Pi and said, ¡°Good grandson, I¡¯ve not seen you for a few years and you¡¯ve grown so tall? What happened to your fur?¡±

    Pi Pi said helplessly, ¡°My previous flesh body died. I changed to a fortified human body that was given to me by my friend from Furless Tribe. That¡¯s not a cat body.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡± Grayley nodded and looked angrily at Fei Fei, ¡°Bad son, that¡¯s my grandson Pi Pi. Where¡¯s the cat ve?¡±

    Fei Fei sighed. ¡°Father, your aging¡¯s getting serious. It¡¯s affecting your cognition. When are you reincarnating?¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Grayley looked puzzled at Fei Fei and said, ¡°What did you say?!¡±

    Fei Fei shook his head and walked over. He brought Grayley to Zhao Yao and pointed to him. ¡°This is Guang Yu. Control him and lend him your superpower.¡±

    ¡°Oh.¡±

    ¡°Wait!¡± Seeing Grayley about to use his superpower, Zhao Yao said, ¡°Let me prepare myself. I¡¯m a bit nervous.¡±

    Grayley nodded and Zhao Yao looked at the Dimension Portal at the side. Inside were Matcha, Bai Quan and Zhao Xue. He said, ¡°Do you understand what I¡¯ve told you just now?¡±

    The three of them nodded. As Zhao Yao was about to continue, his super sensitive body felt a strong gaze focusing on him.

    Zhao Yao turned his head and saw White Short Star staring at him.

    White Short Star gazed at the Dimension Portal and looked puzzled.

    Zhao Yao was shocked. ¡°He could feel the Dimension Portal?! Yes, he could use his body to distort space... By his reaction, he only felt something amiss. He can¡¯t see the Dimension Portal.¡±

    Zhao Yao knew he had to be fast. If things dragged on, he might be discovered.

    Zhao Yao used his power of awareness on Matcha, Zhao Xue, and Bai Quan. ¡°Follow my n and don¡¯t panic. Everything¡¯s under control. There¡¯s no problem.¡±

    He looked at Grayley and Fei Fei and said, ¡°I¡¯m ready.¡±

    Grayley nodded and his Level 72 power of awareness exploded. Zhao Yao felt his mind emptied by an invisible force. His awareness was in turbulence and his vision blurred as numerous images shed and a formless voice nagged at him.

    Feelings came and left him. After Grayley retrieved his superpower, Zhao Yao¡¯s awareness was distorted and he became Grayley¡¯s loyal puppet.

    Grayley said, ¡°Done. Let me lend you my superpower.¡±

    Matcha activated Time Freeze at this instance.

    The world stopped. Bai Quan and Zhao Xue who had borrowed Matcha¡¯s superpower, ran out from the Dimension Portal.

    Target: Zhao Yao!

    They have to kill Zhao Yao before Time Freeze ran out. With the Revival of the Time Distortion, Zhao Yao will be revived and be rid of the Grayley¡¯s control.

    Zhao Yao turned his head and looked coldly at the two people before him.

    Under Zhao Yao¡¯s cold gaze, Bai Quan and Zhao Xue stopped subconsciously in their tracks.

    Zhao Xue thought, ¡°First time... First time I¡¯ve received such a scary expression from brother...¡±

    Bai Quan was looking grave. ¡°Is this the feeling people get when fighting with my boss? I feel my brain boiling like water. His murderous intent¡¯s like a knife cutting my skin... He¡¯s hard on his enemies.¡±

    ¡°Zhao Xue, let¡¯s attack ording to n,¡± Bai Quan said.¡±Don¡¯t be afraid. Boss said that he could only use Time Freeze. We also have Time Freeze. Only his superior constitution is helping him now.¡±

    ¡°I understand.¡± Zhao Xue swallowed her saliva and said, ¡°He¡¯s scary.¡±

    Zhao Yao was no longer powerful. To weaken himself, all the superpowers on the Cat Prince Costume were gotten rid of.

    Zhao Yao could only activate Time Freeze to fight with Bai Quan and Zhao Xue, otherwise he would be killed.

    At this instance, he only had Time Freeze and his superior constitution.

    He had gotten rid of his Dragon ying Saber, Paralysis Ring and other items.

    In order to kill himself sessfully, he had nned in detail.

    Before going to the alien, he knew he could be controlled by his enemies so he designed 20 ways he could kill himself. He remembered all these clearly...

    ¡°Attack...¡± Bai Quan charged first followed by Zhao Xue. They turned to lightning and attacked Zhao Yao from both sides.

    Both Bai Quan and Zhao Xue had been training for a long time so their constitution were far superior to normal people.

    With full effort, the movement of the body exceeded the speed of sound. The actions of the hands and feet were many times faster than the speed of sound.

    With their pincer attack, they could pummel an armored car into scrap metal within seconds.

    Zhao Yao remainedposed under attack. He extended his hand and blocked countless lightning-like attacks.

    ¡°He¡¯s fast!¡± Bai Quan and Zhao Xue were shocked. ¡°Did he... train in secret?¡±

    Their visions blurred and they lost sight of Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Where are...¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s voice rang behind them, ¡°... you looking?¡±

    Bam!

    Zhao Xue and Bai Quan¡¯s backs were hit by Zhao Yao¡¯s fists that carried the weight of mountains. They flew out from the impact.

    Zhao Xue opened her mouth to vomit out the blood from her internal injuries but Bai Quan stopped her. ¡°You can¡¯t vomit blood and stain the ce. The alien cats will discover that something¡¯s wrong.¡±

    After hitting both of them, Zhao Yao shot out like a rocket and his speed exceeded many times the speed of sound. Within moments, he caught up with Zhao Xue.

    He pointed out his index finger like a high-speed bullet towards Zhao Xue¡¯s brow chakra. He wanted to prate Zhao Xue¡¯s brain and kill her.

    Zhao Xue¡¯s muscles exploded with energy as her hands reached towards her brow to block the attack.

    No matter how hard she tried, she could not use her hand to block in time. She saw Zhao Yao¡¯s finger approaching rapidly. In the next moment, her brain would be prated.

    ¡°I¡¯m not fast enough,¡± Zhao Xue thought. ¡°... Brother is too fast and ferocious... My head¡¯s about to be prated...¡±

    With the sudden outburst of his superior constitution, his finger was more powerful than a tank¡¯s armor-piercing shell.

    Zhao Yao gazed at her coldly as his hand and legs elerated. As he was about to prate her skull, he saw her sh and vanish.

    ¡°What?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s head shivered and he recovered. ¡°It¡¯s the Dimension Portal! They set up the Dimension Portal before I came over? When? Before the start of the n?¡±

    ¡°Before the start of the Time Freeze, Dust Ball had already set up the portal? No wonder White Short Star came over here. Is the effect of two Dimension Portals too obvious?¡±

    ¡°They set a trap inside to kill me. If I¡¯m killed, I won¡¯t be able to assist Lord Grayley!¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t go in!¡±

    ¡°I must not go in.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought of many ns and his desire for survival surged. His legs stamped on the ground viciously in a bid to stop.

    But his velocity was too high and he was too close to the Dimension Portal.

    Though he reduced his speed, he swooshed and ran into the portal.

    As he went into the portal, he was wary and nervous as he prepared for attacks.

    The Extradimensional Belly was empty and there were no attacks.

    When Zhao Yao recovered, he felt pain in his lower body and lowered his head to see his body severed at the waist.

    Puff, puff, puff!

    Zhao Yao continued to charge forward as his body was cut by invisible knives. His superior body was cut into pieces as his head fell to the ground with blood sttered all over.

    ¡°Consecutive uses of the Dimension Portals?¡± Zhao Yao looked at pieces of himself and he understood.

    The Dimension Portals were vertically, horizontally and diagonally ced in front of the Dimension Portal where he charged in.

    He was like a supersonic fish that was cut by a vegetable knife and sliced into many pieces by the Dimension Portals.

    Zhao Yao used his supersonic speed and the boundary of the Dimension Portal to kill himself.

    ¡°I can¡¯t recall having such n...¡± Zhao Yao thought. ¡°After thinking of the n, I erased my own memories?¡±

    ¡°Awesome, I¡¯m a genius to think of such a suicide.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a pity I can¡¯t see other reserve ns. I wonder if there were any genius ns to kill myself...¡±

    Zhao Yao closed his eyes and he shed. Like time travel, he recovered his original self and stood up.

    ¡°S*it, was it sessful? I¡¯m in great pain.¡±

    Zhao Yao heard the voice and turned his head to see Zhao Xue with her broken hand and legying on the ground. Her face was contorted with pain.

    She knew of the n and reduced her speed and tried her best to dodge.

    But Zhao Yao¡¯s nned position and distance was too suicidal. Even if Zhao Xue jumped to one side after entering the portal, she would still lose her hand and leg.

    Seeing Zhao Yao¡¯s cold gaze, Zhao Xue¡¯s heart sank.

    ¡°It can¡¯t be...¡±

    <h4>Chapter 1037: Level 60</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    Under Zhao Yao¡¯s cold gaze, Zhao Xue panicked and her pain was overwhelmed by her fear.

    Zhao Yao was putting her under too much pressure. The dozens of suicide ns had all been pre-nned by Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Xue was worried that Zhao Yao might have left some loopholes and was not killed.

    ¡°Just joking.¡±

    Zhao Yao shed and appeared next to Zhao Xue. He caressed Zhao Xue¡¯s head and said, ¡°It was hard on you.¡±

    ¡°Oh! You scared me to death.¡± Zhao Xue heaved in relief but her face turned red. She almost wet herself just now and she was unable to hold it any longer.

    ¡°Go and work! Don¡¯t forget to send me to Lucifer. I¡¯m in great pain!¡±

    Zhao Xue deactivated Time Freeze and she froze like a statue.

    Bai Quan walked to the Dimension Portal and looked at the frozen Zhao Xue before asking Zhao Yao, ¡°Is it settled? Boss?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°I¡¯m leaving. Take care of the loose ends for me.¡±

    Zhao Yao returned to the cat and his original position. With his superb memory and control of his body, he went back to his original pose and position before the Time Freeze.

    Time resumed.

    Grayley looked at Zhao Yao and frowned. ¡°I feel that you are different.¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled fawningly, ¡°I¡¯m more loyal to Lord Grayley and Short Fur Tribe.¡±

    Grayley¡¯s beard quivered but he was not bothered as he was very confident of his ability. It was not possible to go wrong with a human who had inferior superpower and was controlled by him.

    Grayley thought for a while and said, ¡°Good, I¡¯ll endow you with my superpower. Take as much as you can. If you¡¯re unable to endure, you¡¯ll die.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s proceed.¡±

    All the cats looked curiously at Zhao Yao and Grayley as Pi Pi thought nervously, ¡°Don¡¯t let Zhao Yao seed, otherwise I won¡¯t be able to deal with him.¡±

    Ya Xing thought, ¡°A human who was gazed to death by me, how could he be that powerful?¡±

    Wheatley thought fearfully, ¡°My sanitary pads!!!¡±

    Zhao Yao also looked nervously at Grayley as he was a Level 72 supercat. He did not know if there would be any problem. If there was, he would escape using Time Freeze.

    Grayley knocked his head on Zhao Yao¡¯s calf and majestic energy emerged and was absorbed by the Cat Prince Costume.

    ¡°It¡¯sing!¡± Zhao Yao was shocked. ¡°It¡¯s a very strong power!¡± The Cat Prince Costume was obtained after one year¡¯s effort was equipment provided by the Book. It was no ordinary piece of clothing but a part of Zhao Yao¡¯s arsenal.

    As the Cat Prince Costume absorbed Grayley¡¯s power, Zhao Yao felt a strong oppressive force. This was the first time he had such an ufortable feeling.

    Grayley smiled as he said, ¡°Pretty sturdy. Take more. Take as much as you can!¡±

    Stronger power of awareness flooded and gradually... Zhao Yao felt that the Cat Prince Costume was starting to strain under the heavy load.

    ¡°Level 72 superpower... It¡¯s not easy to borrow.¡±

    Zhao Yao became grim and said, ¡°Please stop, I¡¯m unable to hold it...¡±

    Grayley stepped back a few steps and looked disappointed at Zhao Yao. ¡°Hmm, stronger than Fei Fei but still not my match or Moon Shadow.¡±

    Moon Shadow was Grayley¡¯s strongest cat ve. He was a human that could borrow arge portion of Grayley¡¯s superpower.

    Grayley made such ament because the Cat Prince Costume only attained Level 60.

    Grayley looked at Zhao Yao with admiration as he was a rare cat ve with great potential.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Level 60, is that Cat Prince Costume¡¯s current limit? Perhaps, I have to use the Improvement Stone to strengthen it...¡±

    Pi Pi jumped up and said, ¡°I said that Zhao Yao could not be that rare genius.¡±

    Wheatley said solemnly, ¡°Grandfather, return Guang Yu to me. I have great use for him.¡±

    Wheatley¡¯s father said, ¡°Lend him to me. I¡¯m in need of such a man.¡±

    ¡°Stop the nonsense. It¡¯s a waste to if I lend him to you.¡± Grayley was furious and mmed on the table. ¡°Look at you silly cats. I spent so much time to teach you but none of you reached six-star or five-star level.¡±

    ¡°Look at Night Night next door. He grew up with Fei Fei and trained hard since he was young. Now he¡¯s at six-star level!¡±

    ¡°A bunch of fools!¡±

    All the cats kept quiet and dared not say a word.

    Grayley looked at Zhao Yao with satisfaction. ¡°Hmm, you are not the best but you¡¯re good. You¡¯ll follow me.¡±

    Wheatley lifted her head and shouted, ¡°Grandfather! Guang Yu¡¯s my cat ve!¡±

    In the Short Fur Tribe, a superior cat could not take away the cat ve of an inferior cat.

    Grayley thought for a while and said, ¡°Then you¡¯ll follow me so that you can be with your cat ve. This way, I¡¯m not taking away your cat ve.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Wheatley was unhappy. ¡°Where are you going?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m going home.¡± Grayley said in a matter of fact tone, ¡°You¡¯ve got to remember, as a cat, stay at home. Don¡¯t gallivant outside. Staying at home is our tribe¡¯s tradition.¡±

    Wheatley¡¯s father reminded Grayley and said, ¡°Father, you can¡¯t go home. You¡¯ve got to go to the front line and protect our sector.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Grayley sprawled helplessly on the ground and looked in disdain at Fei Fei. ¡°It¡¯s... It¡¯s all because of your ipetence that I have to fight on behalf of you. If I were you, I would kill myself out of shame.¡±

    Wheatley was unhappy but because of the stories and sanitary pads, she had to apany Zhao Yao and Grayley to the battle sector.

    Though Grayley was not interested in protecting the sector, he was very concerned about his new cat ve.

    That feeling was like capturing a low level Pikachu. He wanted to develop him and see if he could be powerful.

    ¡°Let me think...¡± Grayley looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°You just joined not long ago. You¡¯recking in skills. Learn more awareness skills. I¡¯ll teach you a few powerful ones.

    And you have to train your body, otherwise the foundation will be weak. You have to be more durable... Hmm, this is the Furless Tribe¡¯s territory. Let them strengthen your body.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the missionpletion in the Book and heaved in relief. He was worried he could not borrow Grayley¡¯s Level 72 superpower and fail his mission.

    With thepleted mission, the Diamond Hall in Book evolved. Zhao Yao felt some of the power of awareness in the Cat Prince Costume being drawn into Book.

    After some analysis, in addition to a Power Up Card, X2 Exp Card and the Cat Princess Skirt, the Diamond Hall had new items.

    Improvement Stone: It is able to strengthen Book¡¯s equipment but with some chance of failure. It will cost one diamond.

    Improvement Hammer: It is able to strengthen +7 and above equipment. The equipment will not be damaged when it fails. It will cost ten diamonds.

    Cat¡¯s Eye Stone: It can be fused with Book¡¯s weapons and increase its power by 1%. It will cost one diamond.

    The Diamond Hall allowed exchange of 10 000 experience points for a diamond.

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes. ¡°I¡¯m exploding with excitement!¡±

    After his supercats started evolving, the equipment in the Diamond hall was not able to catch up with the evolution.

    The Power Up Card was ineffective on supercats above Level 10. The Cat Princess Skirt was reced by the Cat Prince Costume. The only useful item was the X2 Exp Card.

    Because the effect of the experience points was not as good as the evolution requirement after Level 10, Zhao Yao did not bother to use the X2 Exp Card.

    For the past days, he umted two diamonds daily and he had a total of 21 diamonds.

    After seeing the new items in the Diamond Hall, he wanted to use his diamonds to test out the items.

    Besides allowing the evolution of the supercats and lottery draws, Book had a Diamond Hall where he could strengthen himself.

    Though he would like to try but it was not the time for it. Zhao Yao focused his attention on the alien cats.

    Seeing Grayley developing him, his attributes and skills, Zhao Yao was happy and concerned at the same time.

    His constitution had reached superman level and he would not be discovered in the Short Fur Tribe. However, the Furless Tribe, who was adapted in strengthening and evolving their bodies, would discover Zhao Yao¡¯s superior constitution.

    Zhao Yao had already formted a n after collecting information of Short Fur and Furless Tribe from Giggle.

    After listening to Grayley, Zhao Yao replied, ¡°My body¡¯s pretty strong. I¡¯m able to fight, run fast and I¡¯ve had great strength since I was young...¡± He leaped with effort and jumped to a height of more than ten meters. All the cats were shocked by his prowess.

    Zhao Yao dared to exhibit his prowess because in the Short Fur Tribe, there were natural cases of humans with such strong bodies.

    He had been in contact with the Short Fur and Furless Tribe for a long time even before the war with Long Fur Tribe.

    Numerous supercats were reincarnated as super humans and the Furless Tribe managed many super humans, hence the human poption in Short Fur Tribe had a sizable number of super descendants.

    Once in a while, there were humans with super constitution.

    Zhao Yao got to know this from Giggle so he dared to divulge and exin his super constitution.

    ¡°Oh? You¡¯ve had a super body since young?¡± Grayley was trusting of Zhao Yao as he had distorted his awareness and made him a 100% loyal cat ve. Grayley said, ¡°It¡¯s good to have a super body, the stronger your constitution, the better...¡±

    Grayley was happy to know that Zhao Yao had a naturally strong constitution. He was ecstatic to discover that his low level Pikachu was actually a luminous Pikachu.

    Grayley looked at Fei Fei and asked, ¡°When are we initiating the counterattack?¡±

    ¡°Seven ordered dayster.¡± Fei Fei said, ¡°Everyone needed time to prepare so we decided on seven days before attacking.

    ¡°Good, you¡¯ll take care of our sector.¡± Grayley looked excitedly at Zhao Yao, ¡°I¡¯m training my new cat ve.¡±

    Zhao Yao heaved in relief knowing he had made the right choice.

    Wheatley was curious. She jumped up and said, ¡°I want to join!¡±

    Grayley shed with Zhao Yao and Wheatley and they traveled in the Awareness Dimension towards ces belonging to Furless Tribe.

    Pi Pi looked at Zhao Yao vanish and gritted his teeth. ¡°S*it, he¡¯s a lucky guy. Humph, a human¡¯s always human. They cannot bepared to cats. I¡¯ll surpass you very soon.¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao followed Grayley and descended upon the material realm. His vision shed and he was at a huge training field.

    Thousands of humans were running, weightlifting, fighting, chasing and some were being beaten up.

    Wheatley asked curiously, ¡°Grandfather, where¡¯s this ce? Why am I not aware of such ce on War?¡±

    ¡°There are lots of things you don¡¯t know.¡± Grayley said, ¡°This is the Asura Arena for Furless Tribes¡¯ cat ves to train their bodies. We¡¯re not here to train.¡±

    ¡°There are many superpowers of the Furless Tribe that can be used to strengthen the body. They is mainly training, abrupt changes, modification and evolution.¡± As Grayley spoke, he transmitted his power of awareness.

    A strong gust of wind blew across the arena and a burly cat who was standing on his hind legs appeared before them.

    Zhao Yao could feel the immense power of the furless cat who was three meters tall.

    Every muscle was clearly defined like marble sculpture. Every movement brought along undting flesh and blood.

    The level indicator above his head showed Level 55 and Zhao Yao was well aware of hisbat strength.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°In the Short Fur and Furless Tribe, the strongest supercats are Whitehand Grandmaster and White Short Star who are Level 99 and 100 respectively. The twelve families¡¯ head and the Huge Cat Gods are about Level 70 to 80.¡±

    ¡°The cat before him was a middle-range supercat.¡±

    Grayley said, ¡°Corona, he¡¯s my new cat ve. I¡¯d like to strengthen his body. Could you lend him use your Blood of Evolution?¡±

    Corona tilted his head and used his sensitive perception to scrutinize Zhao Yao. ¡°His body¡¯s strong. Is it natural?¡±

    Corona walked one round Zhao Yao sniffing and observing him. ¡°He has good foundation. Is he using only the Blood of Evolution?¡± Corona licked his lips and said, ¡°Would you like to use the power of awareness to strengthen his body?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not fusing the awareness and body together,¡± Grayley said. ¡°He¡¯s a Short Fur Tribe cat ve.¡±

    Seeing Grayley reject his suggestion, Corona replied, ¡°Okay, the cost of the Blood of Evolution isn¡¯t cheap, what can you give me?¡±

    ¡°Money, I have lots of money,¡± Grayley said. ¡°One billion Cat Sterling? Or 1000 two-star cat ves.¡±

    ¡°D*mn rich tycoon. It¡¯s easy to make money from these dreamscape yers.¡± Corona scolded in his heart. He was afraid Grayley might go back on his words and said quickly, ¡°One billion Cat Sterling. Deal.¡±

    Grayley said, ¡°Let¡¯s begin. I¡¯ll let someone bring over the moneyter. Help me strengthen my cat ve.¡±

    Corona extended one of his front paw¡¯s ws and cut his chest gently. A drop of boiling blood fell on his paw pad.

    Corona saw Zhao Yao¡¯s puzzled face and exined, ¡°My Blood of Evolution contains the body material which was strengthened by my power of awareness and life force.

    Once the Blood of Evolution has entered it, your body will be taken over by the Blood of Evolution. Your body will be stronger and your willpower will be stained by the blood. If you survive, you be stronger and after training your awareness, it will fuse with the body and enter the stage where awareness and body be one. If you are unable to survive...¡±

    Corona smiled. ¡°Heh heh, you be my puppet.¡±

    Zhao Yao was shocked. ¡°This blood¡¯s dangerous.¡±

    Grayley said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m around to help you. Don¡¯t worry about the mental part as he¡¯s unable to stain you. You don¡¯t need to use the Blood of Evolution to train your willpower. You¡¯ll learn the power of awareness from Short Fur Tribe. Use the Blood of Evolution to strengthen your body only.¡±

    Looking at the Level 72 Grayley and Level 65 Corona, Zhao Yao was relieved and nodded.

    ¡°Let¡¯s begin.¡±

    Corona flicked his paw and the boiling fresh blood shot towards Zhao Yao like a bullet.

    With Zhao Yao¡¯s superior reaction, he only managed to see a ck blurred line before feeling chest pain. A surging heat spread throughout his body.

    ¡°Hey...¡± Zhao Yao opened his mouth and his face became contorted in pain as he fell to the ground.

    Corona said, ¡°When the Blood of Evolution takes over your body, you¡¯ll feel a bit of pain. The longer you endure, the better the effect of the strengthening.¡±

    Zhao Yao pressed on his chest as his face contorted and his teeth chattered from the immense pain. He cursed in his heart. ¡°D*mn, he called this a bit of pain? I¡¯m dying of pain!!¡±

    Wheatley said in concern, ¡°He looks like he¡¯s in great pain. Is he alright?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Corona sprawled on the ground and rolled once as he hugged his hind legs and tail. As he shook his body, he said, ¡°The body will get stronger as the pain gets more acute. At most you¡¯ll faint and wake up again. It¡¯s alright.¡±

    Wheatley said, ¡°Can¡¯t you cut off his sense of pain?¡±

    ¡°Every cell¡¯s in pain. How do I cut off the pain?¡± Corona said, ¡°The mental contamination is more serious, hehe... That¡¯ll depend on your grandfather.¡±

    Zhao Yao stood up as they gazed at him in shock. He said in a rxed manner, ¡°It¡¯s good. It¡¯s not that painful and it¡¯s within my limits.¡±

    Corona looked surprised at Zhao Yao and he scrutinized Zhao Yao¡¯s face continuously to determine his condition.

    The Blood of Evolution was part of his superpower and he knew how painful it was for the blood to take over the body but Zhao Yao was able to do it casually.

    ¡°Impossible? Is there such a tough human?¡±

    Corona could not resist saying, ¡°Stop acting tough. Previously, there were people who resisted but they didn¡¯tst long. Screaming the pain out may help youst longer.¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled and shrugged his shoulders. ¡°Is it that painful? I don¡¯t feel it.¡± His face changed and his body trembled.

    Zhao Yao did not look well and Corona said, ¡°Humph, I told you not to resist. I¡¯m well aware of how painful it is.¡±

    ¡°Hmm, it¡¯s very painful... Super painful... Extremely painful... So painful that I¡¯m dying,¡± Zhao Yao said slowly.

    Wheatley looked worried at Zhao Yao. ¡°Guang Yu, do you want to lie down and rest?¡±

    Zhao Yao raised his hand and felt the immense pleasure in his body as he said, ¡°It¡¯s alright and it¡¯s only a little pain. Why do I have to lie down? Even if I die of pain, I¡¯ll remain standing.¡±

    ¡°Good!¡± Grayley said with admiration. ¡°Our Short Fur cat ves should have such an attitude. You¡¯re good.¡± His power of awareness flowed into the surroundings of Zhao Yao¡¯s awareness and formed a protective shield.

    Zhao Yao felt the Blood of Evolution like a virus spreading wildly throughout his body. The blood contained a certain willpower that was contaminating his awareness. It was trying to manipte and control him.

    With Grayley¡¯s help, he felt his awareness being protected by an invisible armor. All the effects of the Blood of Evolution were unable to affect his awareness.

    Grayley said, ¡°I¡¯ll help protect you from the contamination of your awareness. You¡¯ll need to endure the physical pain. The longer you endure the better the effects of the blood!¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and activated Lucifer¡¯s Ultra Rapid Regeneration that transformed his pain into pleasure.

    He pretended to be in pain. He also acted like he was nervous, helpless and brave as he looked forward to bing stronger. He nodded and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s just a bit of physical pain. I¡¯ll use my willpower to ovee it.¡±

    Corona looked in admiration at Zhao Yao. ¡°It¡¯s a pity you¡¯re not with our Furless Tribe.¡±

    That gaze of admiration was like a cat lover looking at his cat being sterilized and the cat did not cry out in pain. Instead, the cat jumped into his arms and wanted to y with him. Zhao Yao was a tough guy.

    Grayley said, ¡°He¡¯s mine! Don¡¯t speak nonsense.¡±

    Wheatley said, ¡°Guang Yu¡¯s my cat ve! My pitiful little Guang Yu, are you in pain?¡± She kept her wits and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t we let Guang Yu enter a dream? Then he won¡¯t feel the pain.¡±

    ¡°No,¡± Corona said, ¡°Everyone¡¯s limit is different. The pain is like a warning. If he can¡¯t feel the pain, after returning from the dreamscape, if his limit has been passed, his body will not be able to take it.¡±

    Zhao Yao waved his hand and said, ¡°It¡¯s alright. I can deal with this minute pain. Let me tell you today¡¯s story.¡±

    One hourter... Zhao Yao was jumping around.

    Five hourster... Zhao Yao was energetic.

    Twelve hourster... Zhao Yao felt he was full of energy. He was so pleasured that he could not stop.

    More and more cat ves surrounded him to watch.

    ¡°He was given the Blood of Evolution? Is that for real? He looks like he¡¯s on drugs.¡±

    ¡°Super tough guy! His body¡¯s trembling from the pain and he¡¯s able to tell the girl stories!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s a real man!¡±

    Grayley and Corona looked in surprise at Zhao Yao. This strong power of awareness and resilient attitude were the qualities of a top cat ve. Grayley was extremely satisfied and he wanted to train Guang Yu.

    Six hourster, the feeling of surprise died down and became numbness and doubts.

    ¡°Is the guy bing foolish?¡±

    ¡°He looked fine although it was a long time...¡±

    ¡°Could the Blood of Evolution turn bad?¡±

    Corona thought, ¡°It¡¯s been a long time... Did he mutate?¡±

    Zhao Yao understood that it was time for him to stop although he could continue. If he stopped, the effects would not reach their maximum potential but Zhao Yao thought that it was sufficient.

    He was afraid that Corona or Grayley might dissect him if he continued.

    He made his face contort in pain and he said exaggeratedly, ¡°It¡¯s bing more painful... I can¡¯t take it any longer.¡±

    Hearing his cry of pain, everyone heaved in relief. That was the normal reaction after taking the Blood of Evolution.

    Zhao Yao pretended to endure the pain for a while before he called it quits and let Corona take away the power of the Blood of Evolution.

    The pleasure that Zhao Yao felt gradually vanished after Corona retrieved the power of the Blood of Evolution. He deactivated the Ultra Rapid Regeneration and felt his body strengthened by the effects of the Blood of Evolution.

    Zhao Yao punched his fist towards the sky.

    A gale gushed out from his fist and the shockwave made the surrounding cat ves retreat in fear.

    Zhao Yao waved his hand at the fearful cat ves and saw violent winds, typhoons, and storms erupt from his hand. The nearby cat ves were blown up into the air and theynded with a series of loud booms.

    ¡°What awesome strength!¡± Zhao Yao looked contentedly at his body and thought, ¡°If Iplement my strength with the Deflective Field, it will be an awesomebination.¡±

    Zhao Yao felt his constitution doubling in strength. He was even stronger than Sphynx cat.

    Corona said, ¡°For the next few weeks, because of the Blood of Evolution, you would feel the side effects. Don¡¯t have intimate rtionships during this time. Have more rest and refrain from using your strength until you¡¯ve fully recovered.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll remind you again. You have to properly control your sudden increase of strength.¡±

    Seeing Zhao Yao¡¯s receding figure, Corona shook his head and sighed to the sky. ¡°Why is he not one of our cat ves?¡±

    Grayley brought Zhao Yao and Wheatley to find a ce to rest before he induced them into his dreamscape.

    Zhao Yao and Wheatley returned to the gorgeous dreamscape where they first learned about the Awareness Dimension.

    This time, the dreamscape master Grayley was with them.

    ¡°Though your body was strengthened that was only a foundation. The strengthening also prevents your body from being destroyed identally,¡± Grayley said. ¡°As a Short Fur Tribe cat ve, your greatest strength is your power of awareness.¡±

    Grayley chose four skills which he had pondered carefully. He looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°I¡¯ve selected four awareness skills for you. Theyplement each other in terms of attack and defense and the learning costs are not high. They are suitable for you.¡±

    ¡°Before we start the counterattack, you have to learn one of the skills and remember the contents of the other three skills.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded his head while Wheatley said, ¡°It¡¯s boring just learning skills. What about me?¡±

    Grayley sneered and said, ¡°You are learning too!¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Wheatley protested loudly as she said, ¡°I¡¯m not learning! I¡¯ve learned Frost Dragon and that¡¯s enough. Why do I have to learn more?¡±

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you embarrassed to say that? You¡¯re such a big cat and you only know one skill? You are not diligent in learning and you have bad results. You¡¯re decadent and a bad role model for our tribe.¡±

    Grayley activated his power of awareness that bore down on Wheatley. ¡°You better learn diligently this time. If you don¡¯t, you won¡¯t be able to go out!¡±

    While Wheatley was protesting, Zhao Yao was eagerly learning the awareness skills. Even if the skills were not his killer moves, by learning them fast, he would be able to formte ns to counter them should he be attacked by the same skills. This was advantageous for Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao had the chance to observe Grayley¡¯s dreamscape. He thought, ¡°I suppose this is Grayley¡¯s Awareness Country? In the Short Fur Tribe, only the Short Fur Sage could create an Awareness Country. All other cats who created one were attacked.¡±

    For the next few days, Zhao Yao spent most of his time in Grayley¡¯s dreamscape learning the skills.

    Grayley¡¯s dreamscape did not have Diana¡¯s elerated time so Zhao Yao¡¯s efficiency in the dreamscape was not much higher than outside.

    During the training gaps, Zhao Yao managed to take a look at the end of the month ounting.

    The end of month ounting was on the day of the meeting. Because a series of events urred, Zhao Yao was caught off bnce and he had dyed the summary until that day.

    Zhao Yao looked at the experience points first.

    Every 50 000 dors of profit would earn Zhao Yao 200 experience points.

    Cat Wondend expanded to Cat Wondend Street with numerous powerful people protecting and guiding the expansion. In addition, Zhao Yao¡¯s fame also helped to boost the monthly ie.

    The Cat Wondend Street provided Zhao Yao with 20 billion dors in ie and added 84 400 experience points to the Book.

    The panel became Book: Level 8 (85 517/100 000).

    Zhao Yao looked at the experience points requirements of the supercats. Only Lucifer and Sphynx cat required experience points to upgrade their levels.

    Lucifer Level 8 (11 400/50 000)

    Sphynx cat Level 7 (12 400/20 000)

    With his current experience points, they were unable to reach Level 10.

    Zhao Yao decided not to bother upgrading both supercats but he was considering using the diamond hall for improvements.

    After some thoughts, he decided to focus on the lottery draws.

    The lottery draws came from the market share of the catmint market. After the mission was upgraded, every 1% market share of China¡¯s market would yield ten lottery draws.

    After Zhao Yao¡¯s repeated advertisement of the Dust Ball catmint and the support of the government, the market share reached 41% and he obtained 410 lottery draws.

    ¡°410 lottery draws, I hope to obtain good items.¡±

    Zhao Yao licked his lips and decided to go for the lottery draws. He could not hold himself back anymore.

    Cat Spicy Strip

    50 experience points

    Improvement Stone

    Cat Spicy Strip

    10 experience points

    Cat Spicy Strip

    Cat Emperor Armor Fragment

    ...

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes were red as he drew 41 times 10 draws each. He obtained 5000 experience points.

    Book became Book: Level 8 (94 317/100 000)

    He obtained Cat Spicy Strips. Together with his previous stash, he had 456 strips.

    He obtained many improvement stones. Together with his previous draws, he had 52 Improvement Stones.

    Zhao Yao was looking forward to the Cat Emperor Armor Fragments and he obtained (69/240) fragments.

    Zhao Yao was pleased with the results of the lottery draws.

    He had three options to upgrade. The first one was to log in to Closers World so that the supercats of Book could be upgraded.

    This process was slow but after analyzing Giggle¡¯s information about the Awareness Country and removing the upper limit for Closers World¡¯s yers, the process would yield faster level upgrades.

    The second upgrade was the equipment provided by Book, especially the slow umtion of the Cat Emperor Armor Fragments and the Improvement Stones for improving equipment.

    Zhao Yao felt this was a worthwhile goal.

    The third upgrade was to learn the Short Fur Tribe¡¯s awareness skills. He would have more attack options and he would be prepared if he was attacked by the Short Fur Tribe.

    As he was in the alien cats¡¯ territory and was monitored by Grayley, he was unable to log into Closers World or improve his equipment. He could only focus his attention on learning awareness skills.

    Time passed quickly and it was the day for the retaliation.

    Grayley got Zhao Yao and Wheatley out of the dreamscape. He looked at both of them and nodded. ¡°You¡¯ve worked diligently and you¡¯ve had some sess. You¡¯ll follow me to the battlefield.¡±

    They vanished from the material realm and entered the Awareness Dimension where they headed towards the battlefield.

    Along the journey, Zhao Yao could see bright spots gathering at their sides. They were from the Short Fur Tribe¡¯s cat ves and supercats.

    When they arrived at the destination, they did not descend upon the material realm.

    With a thought of Grayley, a pce dreamscape appeared before them.

    This was the semi-evesting dreamscape created by Grayley. Because they had to protect thisbat sector, Grayley moved his dreamscape to this part of the Awareness Dimension.

    All the Short Fur Tribe¡¯s supercats and a small portion of the cat ves entered the dreamscape. The remaining cat ves left the Awareness Dimension and descended on the material realm.

    Before them was an azure, whose ocean upied more than 90% of its surface.

    The cat vesnded on the¡¯srgest continent.

    When the first wave of cat vesnded, they were cut by invisible knives in the air.

    ...

    In the dreamscape, Grayley, Fei Fei, Pi Pi, Wheatley, and the important cats of the family gathered together.

    Before them was a pool created by Grayley¡¯s awareness skill. The pool surface reflected the situation of the in the material realm.

    ¡°The first wave intruders sustained heavy casualties,¡± Fei Fei said. ¡°The Long Fur Tribe was prepared for our attack. Second wave awareness unit, get ready.¡±

    Zhao Yao watched the battle at the side. It was his first time witnessing the war of the supercats in the universe.

    On the battlefield, there were no supercats to be seen. As if by tacit understanding, the Long Fur and Short Fur Tribe let their cat ves fight the first round.

    Zhao Yao was astonished by the battle in the pool reflection.

    The surface of the was covered by steel bodies. The cat ves of the Long Fur Tribe flew on fighter nes and mechas in the atmosphere.

    On the ground were automated electromaic guns, particle guns andser cannons.

    Huge spaceports and stargates floated outside the atmosphere. A few rounded spaceships of a few thousand meters floated outside the stargates as they glimmered with strange light rays.

    ¡°The Long Fur Tribe possessed such powerful technology...¡± After Zhao Yao saw Short Fur and Furless Tribe¡¯s primitive style, he could not believe that the Long Fur Tribe had such advanced technology.

    Half of the Short Fur Tribe¡¯s Cat ves were decimated byser cannons, particle cannons and metal shells as they madefall. They were unable to retaliate.

    They were merely the vanguard units. When the Shortfur Tribe¡¯s pure awareness unit madefall, the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s units went into chaos.

    The pure awareness unit¡¯s sleeping bodies were located in a faraway and safe ce while their awareness descended upon the battlefield.

    Like how Giggle and Tom had descended upon Earth.

    Arge portion of the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s cat ves were controlled by the pure awareness unit.

    The controlled cat ves aimed their cannons at their own units and those cat ves who possessed strange superpowers attacked their own people. The entire Long Fur Tribe¡¯s army was in chaos.

    The advantage gained by the Short Fur Tribe did notst long. In thebat zone, numerous circr electric machines rose up. Electrical sparks were given off in a few explosions and powerful spiritual waves emanated out. The Short Fur Tribe¡¯s cat ves were driven out from the bodies that they were trying to control.

    Seeing this scene, the supercats of the Short Fur Tribe were in shock.

    ¡°What¡¯s this?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s able to attack our awareness?¡±

    ¡°There were no previous instances of non-awareness things attacking awareness!¡±

    ¡°What things did the Long Fur Tribee out with?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s the reason they attacked us. They believe they could subdue us? B*stards!¡±

    Previously when Long Fur Tribe encountered awareness attacks from Short Fur Tribe, they were at their wits end. Only their supercats and cat ves who possessed dreamscape, illusion, and mental rted superpowers were able to resist the Short Fur Tribe.

    The tide had changed.

    Looking at the agitated supercats of the Short Fur Tribe, Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes as he analyzed the battlefield.

    ¡°This weapon can repulse but can¡¯t kill awarenesses. It is still a powerful weapon though. Moreover, this is first time they are using this weapon. If it is refined, strengthened and improved... It will not bode well for the Short Fur Tribe.¡±

 Chapter 1042: Moment

    <h4>Chapter 1042: Moment</h4>

    Zhao Yao knew the danger of the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s new weapon. A lot of the supercats also saw the danger.

    Grayley rose up gradually in dreamscape. His previous dazed look was now solemn.

    ¡°The Long Fur Tribe has invented such a weapon...¡±

    Fei Fei said, ¡°Father, shall we send Moon Shadow?¡±

    ¡°No, I¡¯ll do it myself,¡± Grayley said seriously. ¡°There¡¯s no need to waste time and effort to test. I¡¯ll swallow them all and interrogate them regarding the new weapon.¡±

    A majestic power of awareness emerged from Grayley¡¯s body and everyone felt as though their bodies had touched a formidable power. They backed up subconsciously.

    Grayley leaped and went out of the dreamscape. Then he descended upon the material realm.

    ¡°My father¡¯s making his move.¡± Fei Fei sighed and said, ¡°Watch carefully. This is the true strength of our Short Fur Tribe. Learn from him.¡±

    The pool reflection rippled and mirrored Grayley¡¯s vision.

    The image of the azure erged rapidly. Grayley came out of the atmosphere andnded on the surface. He arrived at an underground base.

    The circr machines in the base flew rapidly and emitted spiritual waves to repulse Grayley¡¯s descent.

    The base sirens red loudly as the indicator monitors shed rising figures. Crimson shing lights filled the entire base as numerous cat ves stood up and eximed in shock.

    ¡°Warning! Warning! Ultra high power of awareness detected!¡±

    ¡°What a strong power of awareness!¡±

    ¡°A sage level supercat had descended!¡±

    ¡°Open up all the spiritual repulsion devices!¡±

    The machines that were effective previously were now vibrating violently after being overloaded by Grayley¡¯s overwhelming power of awareness. The machines started emitting ck smoke and came to a halt.

    Within half a second, with the shutting down of the machines, the noisy base became deadly quiet.

    All the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s cat ves froze at their positions like motionless puppets.

    ¡°Shut down all machines.¡±

    After Grayley transmitted his order from his heart, all the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s cat ves started moving as though time had resumed. They looked normal as they went about their daily routine.

    All the machines in the base were subsequently shut down. After fulfilling Grayley¡¯s order, they gathered in the main hall and hit themselves unconscious. Theyid down in a heap.

    This was only one of the bases on the continent...

    On the continent with the fiercest battle, mecha, battleships, cannons and the bright spots at the bases dimmed down. Darkness was like the grim reaper as it engulfed the rapidly.

    ¡°This is...¡±

    ¡°My father controlled them to shut off all machines,¡± Fei Fei said, ¡°The sage level power of awareness could easily control hundred thousand to a million lives. Conquering the continent requires only a moment...¡±

    The continent fell into darkness as the machines were shut down and all cat ves fell into a deep sleep. The Long Fur Tribe¡¯s army was totally defeated.

    In a spaceship outside the stargate, the crew fell to the ground consecutively. A nearby stargate shut down and fell into a deadly silence.

    For the Level 72 Grayley, if he did not meet his match, he did not need to use power skills or terrifying superpowers.

    He only needed to descend, control, and reap. He was like a normal man walking on the ground and squishing an ant to death.

    Wheatley and the cats heard Grayley¡¯s voice in their minds. ¡°Send men to take over.¡±

    The Short Fur Tribe¡¯s cat ves descended upon the battlefield and tied up the loose ends. They imprisoned all the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s cat ves to interrogate them on the spiritual repulsion device.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Is this the power of awareness of a Level 72 supercat? From what I saw, Grayley did not require a body. Based on his awareness state, he remained in the material realm for some time. I wonder what is his maximum limit.¡±

    All the supercats that Zhao Yao encountered, no matter how strong their powers of awareness were, if they remained in the material realm in their awareness state, they would expendrge amounts of awareness power. If they couldn¡¯t possess a target, their awareness would dissipate into the universe.

    Grayley was different. From Zhao Yao¡¯s observation, he could float for a long time in the material realm and transmit his power of awareness in arge area.

    ¡°If he descended upon Earth, he would rule the within ten minutes.¡±

    As everyone thought that the battle had ended, violent explosions were hearding from the surface.

    Within moments, numerous balls of me rose up from the surface. Thend cracked open and the clouds dispersed. Everything was destroyed.

    The cat ves did not have the chance to activate their superpowers. They were disintegrated by the sudden shock waves and high temperature. Then they were burnt to ash.

    The surface became a scorching hell.

    Grayley stared wide-eyed at the battlefield as his beard vibrated in shock. ¡°Retreat! Let all the cat ves retreat!¡±

    It was toote. A micro-second order was transmitted to all Long Fur Tribe¡¯s devices, weapons, mecha, battleship groups... balls of huge fireball shot up from the surface and the continent became a sea of infernos.

    ¡°Those b*stards!¡±

    Grayley looked furiously at the continent that was engulfed by mes, dust and radiation. The spacecrafts in the sky transformed into ming wreckage and exploded like fireworks before the dust dispersed into the thin air.

    ¡°They¡¯re ruthless.¡± Fei Fei was shocked as he said, ¡°They were willing to sacrifice their own people and kill our cat ves. They are mad and perverted.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked grimly at the decimated battlefield as he acknowledged the ruthlessness of the Long Fur Tribe.

    ...

    A few light years away, in the dark region away from the stars, thousands of battle cruisers floated in the gxy.

    In the middle of the battle group was a super huge mothership that was more than ten kilometers long.

    In themand center of the mothership, a 2-meter tall white cat sprawled on a seat while his long flowy fur drooped on the ground. His ears quivered and changed frequency ording to his movements.

    Several humans surrounded him andbed the white cat¡¯s fur. Two humans knelt on the ground and polished his ws carefully.

    Another long-fur ck cat squatted in front of the white cat and said, ¡°Lord Magis, all units on Tumen have initiated the self-destruct sequence and all the cat ves have perished.¡±

    The white cat Magis nodded. ¡°They¡¯ve done well. Those primitives of the Short Fur Tribe will definitely be infuriated. Hahahaha, I get so happy thinking of how angry they are!¡±

    The white cat smiled and revealed his fangs that glinted coldly. ¡°Are the next batch of cloned cat ves ready?¡±

    ¡°Prepare them for battle. Since the Short Fur Tribe¡¯s here, they¡¯ll not give up. The Delin Star Cluster will be their graveyard.¡±

    ...

    In Grayley¡¯s dreamscape, numerous supercats were infuriated.

    The cat ve casualties were astonishing and a lot of them were their subordinates.

    ¡°In this battle, the casualties exceeded... three million cat ves...¡± Fei Fei looked grave as he said, ¡°Not a single enemy¡¯s weapon was left behind...¡±

    Grayley said angrily, ¡°Didn¡¯t I let them escape? Why did so many of them die?¡±

    ¡°ording to some escaping cat ves, unknown weapons prevented them from Dimension Travel and caused the high casualties. Only 50 000 cat ves returned. I had sent men to continue rescue operations.¡±

    Grayley said, ¡°Put all efforts into the rescue operations! Send more cat ves from our reserves.¡±

    Zhao Yao listened to the battle situation and the astonishing casualty figures shed through his mind. He sighed in his heart.

    Casualties from gctic wars were muchrger than wars within the¡¯s atmosphere. The cat ves were the frontline soldiers and cannon fodders, hence the high casualties.

    Zhao Yao frowned at the current situation.

    The status of the cat ves was very low in the eyes of the supercats.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Those silly cats. Why did they go to war? Once I subdue all the Long Fur, Short Fur, Furless Tribes, then there will be no more war.¡±

    The Short Fur Tribe¡¯s supercats were not willing to let it go. Large numbers of cat ves were sent over for war. Basically, only the cat ves go to war.

    Every supercat was precious, had high potential, and a bright future.

    Those that fought were cat ves that borrowed superpowers from the supercats while the supercats hid in the Awareness Dimension and watched the battle from a safe distance.

    Grayley was assigned to thisbat sector called Delin Star Cluster, which was made up of hundreds of stars. The cluster had glorious civilizations that gathered countless humans and supercats.

    After the war among the Short Fur, Long Fur, and Furless Tribe, the Delin Star Cluster became the hotbed of contention. The wars made the ce deste.

    The mes of war re-ignited and billions of cat ves were thrown into battle. Their lives were sacrificed on thes.

    Because of Zhao Yao¡¯s high potential, he was not sent to battle. Instead, he was sent to a behind the frontline to learn and practise his skills.

    He was not able to practise his skillspletely in the dreamscape as the final testing had to be done in the material realm.

    ...

    On the Golden Star, Zhao Yao stood on a green in as his Level 60 awareness power transformed into invisible tentacles and contacted Wheatley¡¯s awareness two hundred meters away.

    Wheatley¡¯s body trembled and said red-faced, ¡°Guang Yu! Pull it out! It¡¯s ufortable.¡±

    ¡°I understand.¡± Zhao Yao resisted his temptation and retracted his awareness from her body.

    ¡°The transmission distance of the power of awareness reaches more than two hundred meters. This dark skill, Unparalleled, is very effective.¡±

    The dark skill, Unparalleled, was the first skill from Grayley that Zhao Yao had to master. Though it did not have active effects, the passive effect was to increase the effective radius of the awareness power.

    Previously, Zhao Yao had to increase his power of awareness to passively increase his effective radius.

    Zhao Yao thought that Grayley could control millions of cat ves in a moment, his effective radius of the power of awareness was an important factor.

    Wheatley ran over unhappily. After covering 50 meters, she discovered her power of awareness had knocked into Zhao Yao¡¯s body.

    Zhao Yao felt a cold tentacle touching his body and shouted to Wheatley, ¡°Good, you¡¯ve made progress.¡±

    ¡°Your radius is muchrger than mine.¡± Wheatley said unhappily, ¡°Why is your progress that fast?¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled and said, ¡°Perhaps, I¡¯m more intelligent. Do you still want to practise?¡±

    Wheatley shook her head and said, ¡°I¡¯m dead beat. Don¡¯t you know my grandfather¡¯s not around today? I¡¯m resting...¡±

    ¡°Oh? Grayley¡¯s not here?

    Wheatley said, ¡°I heard the Furless Tribe¡¯s units were arriving. My grandfather wanted to coordinate with them and attack the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s battle group. Guang Yu! Shall we go and y?¡±

    ¡°No, I need more practice.¡±

    After getting rid of Wheatley, Zhao Yao ensured there were no one around. He activated the Cat Prince Costume¡¯s Time Freeze, opened the Dimension Portal and returned to Earth.

    ¡°Finally, I¡¯m back...¡± Zhao Yaoid on the sofa as he heaved in relief. He had been staying at the Short Fur Tribe¡¯s location and was constantly monitored and trained by Grayley so he did not have time to return to Earth. He did not have the chance to use his Book or upgrade Closers World.

    During Grayley¡¯s supervision, Zhao Yao secretlypleted the analysis of Giggle¡¯s Awareness Country.

    Unfortunately, Giggle¡¯s knowledge of the Awareness Country was iplete as he only had Spiritual Energy. The other four missingponents were Dreamscape Proliferation, Dimension Conversion, Virtual Reality Mirroring and Thought Regtion.

    ¡°It¡¯s a pity. ording to my partial knowledge, I¡¯m only able to increase the upper limit of the awareness country to one billion people.¡±

    Zhao Yao recalled Grayley¡¯s semi-evesting dreamscape and guessed that he could create an awareness country because of hisplete understanding of it.

    He had no time to think about this. He had to increase the upper limit of the awareness country and upgrade Dust Ball to Level 25 to unlock the supercats¡¯ level cap in Book.

    As he had sizable experience points and diamonds, he wanted to use the diamond hall to improve his equipment and strengthen himself.

    As Zhao Yao thought about his n, he stood up and walked out of his room. ¡°I¡¯ve been away for a few days. I wonder if my silly cats miss me.¡±

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    Though he was concerned about his cats, Zhao Yao decided to go for his ns first.

    He called the gamespany to ce a message that attracted hatred on the official website. ¡°As the sole developer of Closers World, boss of the game and old friend of all the yers,

    I¡¯ve decided to upgrade the games server even if I lose money. I intend to increase the current 30 million users to 1 billion users.

    The game¡¯s servers would be shut down in three hours. The date ofpletion of the server update is unknown.¡±

    The news created a furor in the gaming world. They discussed the shocking record of a billion gamers, the future of Closers World andints against Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao entered Closers World and upgraded Closers World ording to the information he had analyzed.

    Three hourster, all yers were forced to go offline. Only Giggle was imprisoned in a small ck hut.

    Zhao Yao did not kick Tom and Strangle offline and let them continue ying.

    The small number of yers did not prevent the Level 60 Zhao Yao from upgrading Closers World.

    Zhao Yao descended upon Closers World¡¯s control room and his power of awareness amended the dreamscape structure.

    ¡°Higher load... faster speed...¡±

    ¡°And security system... firewall protection system...¡±

    After an hour, Zhao Yao heaved in relief.

    From Closers World¡¯s appearance, no changes could be seen, however, the dreamscape structure was overhauled. The sturdiness of the Awareness Dimension was greatly increased and it was able to hold more awarenesses.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s knowledge of the awareness country and Closers World surpassed Giggle¡¯s.

    After upgrading Closers World, Zhao Yao informed the gamespany. He stayed in Closers World and logged into Dust Ball¡¯s ount.

    Observing the efficiency of Dust Ball¡¯s evolution progress, Zhao Yao nodded. When Closers World reopened and new users flooded in, the yers count would reach one billion and the evolution progress of the supercats would be elerated.

    ¡°With the current progress, Dust Ball will reach Level 25 in a week. The level cap will be unlocked.¡±

    Zhao Yao stayed in Closers World. He managed Dust Ball¡¯s ount and essed Book at the same time.

    It was time for Zhao Yao to take a good look at Diamond Hall and equipment improvements.

    ¡°Let me see... 52 Improvement Stones. The Cat Prince Costume is a top priority for improvement.¡±

    The level cap of the Cat Prince Costume was Level 60. He decided to improve it.

    The Cat Prince Costume was improved once and it was +1 and had a defense increment of 10%.

    Zhao Yao used an Improvement Stone on the Cat Prince Costume and a progress bar and a message jumped out and informed him of the improvement failure.

    ¡°S*it!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s alright. Steady, steady, I have to remain calm.¡±

    Zhao Yao used another Improvement Stone in vain. The third Improvement Stone seeded.

    Cat Prince Costume+2: Defense increment of 20%

    ¡°+2 is better than nothing. I¡¯ll continue.¡± Zhao Yao used another Improvement Stone.

    The next two Improvement Stones were sessful.

    Cat Prince Costume+4: Defense increment of 40%, constitution increment of 10%

    ¡°After +4, a new effect showed up. It¡¯s pretty good to have 10% increase in constitution.¡±

    Zhao Yao returned to the material realm and felt the Cat Prince Costume tremble. The costume assimted into his body and countless small hands massaged his body. Every cell, fibre, nerve, muscle and bone were tightly fused together.

    Zhao Yao felt his body bing more rxed and he had greater strength.

    Zhao Yao used another Improvement Stone... it failed and the Cat Prince Costume was -1.

    Zhao Yao was furious when the costume went back to +3.

    Zhao Yao pped on another Improvement Stone in anger.

    Failure... Sess... Sess... Failure... Failure... Sess...

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes were red as he used the Improvement Stones consecutively and the costume reached +7.

    Cat Prince Costume+7: Defense increment of 70%, constitution increment of 40%, absorb superpower+1.

    ¡°Absorb superpower+1?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up as this effect was good.

    The Cat Prince Costume was able to store two superpowers and Zhao Yao could switch to any one of the superpowers. Zhao Yao felt that two was still too little.

    After +7, he could store three superpowers and he had more choices.

    When Zhao Yao was about to use his Improvement Stone, a reminder jumped out and he stopped.

    ¡°For improvements above +7, failure will cause equipment to be damaged?¡± Zhao Yao frowned. ¡°Such a high risk?¡±

    Zhao Yao remembered the new items in diamond hall. The Improvement Hammer required 10 diamonds and could improve +7 equipment without fear of damaging the equipment.

    ¡°The price for improving +7 equipment is steep.¡± Zhao Yao frowned as he thought, ¡°I have to find time to find some diamonds and exchange for Improvement Hammer.¡±

    He turned his head and looked at his Book.

    He had 21 diamonds and 19 Improvement Stones.

    The numbers were too low and looking at his luck, Zhao Yao decided to find more diamonds before improving the equipment.

    After pondering, he decided to use his sizable Improvement Stones on the Dragon ying Saber.

    Dragon ying Saber+4: Prohibition of superpower for 50 seconds after failing Dragon ying verification and weakening of awareness.

    Zhao Yao pped an Improvement Stone on it.

    ¡°Sess?¡±

    Zhao Yao used a few Improvement Stones as the saber was no longer used. Even if the saber was damaged, it would not matter. The Dragon ying Saber went to +12.

    ¡°Wow!¡±

    ¡°If only I had that luck just now...¡±

    Zhao Yao did not know whether he should be happy or sad. The +12 Dragon ying Saber had two more effects.

    Dragon ying Saber+12: Prohibition of superpower for 50 seconds after failing Dragon ying verification and weakening of awareness. The verification difficulty is increased by 12 times. The damage can be increased by using power of awareness.

    ¡°The damage can be increased by using power of awareness?¡±

    Zhao Yao pondered. He could not resist transmitting his power of awareness to the saber and cutting himself.

    A few minutester, Zhao Yao stood up glumly and put back the Dragon ying Saber carefully.

    ¡°This saber¡¯s...¡±

    Zhao Yao understood the meaning of the 12 times increase in verification. Anyway, he was not going to test it again.

    With the ovey of power of awareness, the Dragon ying Saber was now effective against supercats of Level 10 and above. With Zhao Yao¡¯s Level 60 awareness, he could cause harm to other Level 60 or higher supercats. The supercats above Level 60 would have diminished damage due to their increased resistance. It was unlike before where there were no effects.

    Zhao Yao looked at the Dragon ying Saber and thought, ¡°This equipment... could be my most damaging weapon.¡±

    He had only 11 Improvement Stones but he had Cat Prince Costume+7 and Dragon ying Saber+12. His power was upgraded and he decided to leave Closers World and take a look at his cats.

    On the Cat Ind vi, Zhao Yao opened his room door and arrived at the living room. There were no cats or humans around.

    ¡°Matcha and the rest are missing? I wonder if things happened while I was away.¡± Zhao Yao took out his cell phone. ¡°Today¡¯s the weekend and it¡¯s not a schooling day. I didn¡¯t see them when I passed by the Extradimensional Belly.¡±

    Zhao Yao decided to return to the Extradimensional Belly and asked other supercats.

    He swallowed himself and arrived inside the Extradimensional Belly. He took a few steps and asked a cat, ¡°Lion Head, did you see Matcha and the rest?¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao?¡± Lion Head looked at Zhao Yao and his fur stood on end. He looked in shock at Zhao Yao and screamed, ¡°Zhao Yao!¡±

    Zhao Yao grabbed the Lion Head¡¯s skull and frowned at him as he asked curiously, ¡°Why are you so nervous? Am I that scary?¡±

    Kimchi pointed at Zhao Yao in shock and shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao¡¯s back!¡± Kimchi bolted without turning back.

    The entire Extradimensional Belly went into chaos. Those who were eating, yingputer games, rolling around suddenly fled in fear as though they were frightened animals. They ran towards the Dimension Portals which they thought were the safest.

    The Extradimensional Belly became empty, leaving only Lion Head struggling in Zhao Yao¡¯s hands as his neck was firmly sped.

    ¡°What¡¯s happening? Why is everyone so afraid of me, as if they¡¯ve seen a ghost?¡± Zhao Yao frowned and looked at Lion Head who had pretended to faint. He shook Lion Head¡¯s body and asked, ¡°I¡¯m asking you. Stop ying dead.¡±

    Lion Head opened his eyes and shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t know! I don¡¯t know anything!¡±

    ¡°S*it.¡± Zhao Yao released Lion Head¡¯s neck and entered a Dimension Portal. If Lion Head was not willing to say, he had to take a look himself.

    Zhao Yao arrived at the cafe.

    Ning Ning was sleeping on the counter and the cafe was empty.

    Zhao Yao patted the table in front of Ning Ning and asked, ¡°Is the cafe alright?¡±

    Ning Ning lifted her head and looked at Zhao Yao with disappointment. ¡°Boss, you¡¯re back...¡±

    Zhao Yao was unhappy. ¡°What¡¯s with your expression? Disappointed after seeing me?¡±

    ¡°Hahahaha.¡± Ning Ningughed in embarrassment. ¡°No, no, I¡¯m surprised and pleased to see you, boss.¡±

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Did you see the cats in the cafe?¡±

    ¡°Talking about the cats.¡± Ning Ning scratched her chin and said, ¡°It has been a long time since I¡¯ve seen catsing into the cafe. It felt like they disappeared.¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned and made phone calls to Bai Quan and Zhao Xue but in vain.

    ¡°What¡¯s with them?¡± He left voice messages for them to return his call. Zhao Yao left the cafe and returned to the Extradimensional Belly. Then he arrived at Cat Wondend Street via the Dimension Portal.

    Cat Wondend Street was bustling with a lot of people. Countless people were sightseeing, taking pictures, buying souvenirs and enjoying themselves. Most of them were tourists. Only a small number were apostles and members of some special organizations.

    Cat Wondend Street was no longer Cat Wondend, which was a secret entertainment center for supercats and apostles.

    Due to Zhao Yao¡¯s heightened fame, the newly built Cat Wondend Street was highly popr. After knowing Zhao Yao and the existence of supercats, they came to Cat Wondend Street to look at supercats and carry or cuddle them.

    Cat Wondend Street became Jianghai¡¯s tourist site. Everyday, numerous tourists, apostles and even supercats came here to see Zhao Yao¡¯s supercats.

    Zhao Yao arrived at the roof top of the original Cat Wondend. He surveyed the crowd on the streets and smiled. Then he stepped into his office.

    ¡°Let me see... what those silly cats are up to.¡±

    Zhao Yao did not find anything amiss in the Cat Wondend. The business was prospering and there were more tourists. From the windows, the queue extended to 300 meters from the entrance.

    There was a group of people raising cards and making a lot of noise.

    ¡°Objection to oppressive cat prostitution!¡±

    ¡°Down with sweat factories!¡±

    ¡°Capture Zhao Yao! Rescue the cats!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s ears quivered and heard footsteps behind. He asked, ¡°Where did those foolse from?¡±

    Bai Quan stood behind Zhao Yao. He heard Zhao Yao¡¯s voice and detected his smell when he entered Cat Wondend.

    Bai Quan said, ¡°They are from a foreign supercat protection organization. They like to protest against supercats working.¡±

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Oh? Who¡¯s supporting them? Why don¡¯t you call the police to chase them away?¡±

    Bai Quan said, ¡°ording to Uncle Ho¡¯s information, they were supported by more than ten supercats. A few of the supercats were of prestigious status. Anyway, they were just protesting and they did not have any aggressive behavior, so I let them be.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s Matcha and the rest? Why didn¡¯t I see them when I returned?¡±

    Bai Quan smiled wryly and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

    ...

    Not long after Zhao Yao returned to Earth, with the announcement of Closers World¡¯s upgrade, a few apostles received this message.

    Up at Mount Qomngma.

    A barebacked golden-haired man walked on the snow.

    He climbed Mount Qomngma with his bare hands as a few mountain climbers held video cameras and followed behind him with fatigue and astonishment.

    A member was shocked. ¡°Strong, he¡¯s very strong! He conquered Mount Qomngma with his bare hands. This will be the new world record!¡±

    ¡°His physique¡¯s more sturdy than a robot.¡± Another membermented.

    ¡°Ivanovic! The greatest mountain climber on Earth.¡± A member said, ¡°I heard he was an ex-KGB agent. He became a mountain climber after retirement,¡±

    ¡°He didn¡¯t use any apparatus or provision to climb the mountain. Even if he was strengthened by a superpower, it¡¯s still incredible.¡±

    ¡°I heard he was training his willpower and he didn¡¯t inform any mass media. If we didn¡¯t meet him by coincidence...¡±

    The golden-haired man stopped and everyone was puzzled.

    The golden-haired man stood his ground and looked into the sky. Then he swiveled and started going down the mountain.

    They asked in surprise, ¡°Ivanovic, where are you heading?¡±

    ¡°Jianghai.¡±

    ¡°Why are you going to Jianghai?¡±

    Ivanovic¡¯s eyes glimmered. ¡°To challenge the most powerful person in this world... and rece him.¡±

    Ivanovic leaped with full effort, jumped headlong into the snow storm and vanished.

    Two weeks ago.

    In London, Ennd.

    In the grand luxurious hall, a ck-haired youthid on the sofa.

    His right hand touched his chin while his eyes surveyed the ce in front. Five cats and five men knelt on the ground and trembled.

    ¡°I, Sebastian, the sessor of Europe¡¯s oldest, richest and most influential family.

    Since birth, I knew I was different from the rest.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m different from thosemoners.¡±

    They had to work extremely hard to obtain certain things. They had to pay with tens of years and even their lives for the things but I could easily obtain them with a single word.

    That was fate. The rules were set since the day they were born.

    99.99% of the Earthlings were ordinary people.

    I was destined to be God since I was born.

    Everything on Earth, beautiful women, exotic wines, fortunes worth more than a country and dreams that took a lifetime to achieve, I was able to obtain with ease.

    The year that supercats appeared, my apostle potential was naturally awakened.

    A scumbag who should not appear on Earth took away my things.

    Sebastian surveyed the kneeling apostles and supercats before him. He looked at a British Shorthair and the adjacent apostle and asked, ¡°What are your superpowers?¡±

    ¡°Soft... Soften.¡± The kneeling youth trembled and said, ¡°We are able to soften like mud...¡±

    ¡°What a disgusting superpower. Get out of my pce.¡± Sebastian frowned and said coldly, ¡°Don¡¯t let me see you again.¡±

    The youth and his supercat was taken out by the guards. Sebastian looked at a Dragon Li and the adjacent female apostle.

    ¡°What¡¯s your superpower?¡±

    ¡°Elect... Electricity, we control electricity.¡±

    ¡°Useless things.¡±

    ¡°They are all useless superpowers.¡±

    ¡°No, it¡¯s not this cat!¡±

    ¡°Why! Why is there no supercat worthy of me?¡±

    Everyone was told to leave. Sebastian kicked the tea set furiously and roared angrily, ¡°My supercat! Why isn¡¯t my supercat with me!¡±

    He looked at theputer screen and it showed Zhao Yao¡¯s rted information.

    ck Phoenix acknowledged Mr Zhao Yao as his father... Zhao Yao showed the power of a world number one...

    ording to estimates... Zhao Yao had strong Dimension superpower... He was able to travel the Earth with ease...

    ording to INS polls... Zhao Yao was voted number one in ¡°The strongest apostle¡±... he was called the man closest to God...

    Sebastian gritted his teeth and smashed hisputer screen.

    The cell phone rang and Sebastian answered the call. ¡°Hello, Young Master Sebastian, Old Master decided to coborate with Bai Quan. Our brick-and-mortar shops in Europe will sell their products without earning amission...¡±

    Sebastian shouted, ¡°Are we yielding to them?!¡±

    ¡°Young Master, Bai Quan came to Paris three days ago, the difference... is toorge...¡± The person on the phone hesitated and continued, ¡°Appropriate yielding at times allows our family tost very long...¡±

    Pom!

    Sebastian threw away his cell phone as he said furiously, ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be like this...¡±

    ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be like this.¡±

    ¡°These superpowers... these superpowers should belong to me...¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m the one destined to be God!¡±

    ¡°How did such powerful supercats fall into the hands of this scumbag?!¡±

    ¡°Oh Heavens, are you blind?¡±

    As Sebastian was fuming, an extraterrestial power flowed into his body.

    It was power of awareness! The power that superseded all the awarenesses of the supercats on Earth!

    ¡°This is...¡±

    Feeling the sudden surge of power of awareness in his body, Sebastian¡¯s mind was filled with massive information on the power of awareness.

    Sebastian epted the power of awareness without hesitation. He had his own understanding of this power...

    ¡°I¡¯ve awakened my superpower?!¡±

    ¡°This superpower! This is the power that Sebastian should have! Hahahaha...¡±

    ¡°This is the superpower that is worthy of me! What Zhao Yao, what Bai Quan, what Star Cats... all of you deserve to die!¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the deal with supercats and apostles? The power that I have awakened is the most powerful.¡±

    ¡°Everyone¡¯s wrong.¡±

    ¡°Grandpa¡¯s wrong too. We don¡¯t have to yield to those Chinese.¡±

    ¡°Grandpa¡¯s method is wrong. He should invest all the resources on me instead of finding the Mithril supernatural organization for help.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s alright, I¡¯ll let them know. I¡¯ll let them know how wrong they were.¡±

    ¡°Using the superpower that I, Sebastian, have awakened.¡±

    ¡°When I¡¯m familiar with this power... it won¡¯t be long... it won¡¯t be long...¡±

    When time returned to the present just as Zhao Yao returned to earth and made Closers World¡¯s announcements, Sebastian, who was in a lotus sitting position, opened his eyes abruptly. He looked at the sky and heard mysterious whispers in the air.

    His eyes glimmered with traces of mysterious rays.

    He opened the room door and walked out of his room.

    In the living room, Sebastian¡¯s father was entertaining a few Mithril apostles.

    ¡°I¡¯m depending on your help for this matter.¡±

    ¡°No problem, this is what we should do.¡±

    Sebastian¡¯s father surveyed the apostles who were the best warriors in Mithril. Everyone had a great experience inbat and they were famous in the European supernatural realm. They had killed hundreds of apostles in thest two years.

    ¡°With them around, there should be no problem. Even if Bai Quan came over, they should be able to hold their ground.¡±

    The room door was kicked open and Sebastian¡¯s father said angrily, ¡°Sebastian, what are you doing?!¡±

    Sebastian¡¯s expression was nk as he looked at the Mithril apostles and said, ¡°Mithril apostles?¡±

    ¡°Get lost, the Camian family doesn¡¯t need you.¡±

    The Mithril apostles became grim as Sebastian¡¯s father said in fury, ¡°Sebastian, what are you saying? Apologize to them immediately?¡±

    ¡°Why should I apologize to this trash? What do you say?¡± Sebastian¡¯s brow creased and with a thought, the faces of the Mithril¡¯s apostles were distorted. They knelt on the ground and said to Sebastian, ¡°Sorry... Sorry, we¡¯re trash. Please do not be bothered by us.¡±

    Everyone looked in astonishment as Sebastian turned and walked off. Sebastian¡¯s father could not help asking, ¡°Sebastian, where are you going?¡±

    Sebastian slowed to a halt and said, ¡°To China, to take back what¡¯s mine.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Bai Quan, tilted his neck and said, ¡°Uh? What happened?¡±

    The cold sweat on Bai Quan¡¯s head continued to drip as he said, ¡°Hmm... They suggested a pay increase, more resting days, 1 hour work day and new contracts...¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Did you agree to their terms?¡±

    ¡°I rejected their unreasonable requests,¡± Bai Quan said, ¡°And they went on a strike.¡±

    A huge rented conference hall in Jianghai.

    The supercats were moving around in a tight group and the heads bobbed in the sea of cats.

    A huge picture of Zhao Yao was disyed in front of the cats.

    Roly Poly stood in front of therge photograph and helped a slim supercat on the stage. He said to the supercats below the stage, ¡°Everyone, this is Ah Qiang. Three months ago, he was a cute and strong cat. Look at his previous photograph.¡±

    The photograph was changed to a blossoming plump and cute white cat.

    Looking at the photograph and the current cat that Roly Poly was helping, the supercats eximed in shock.

    ¡°Three months of working in Zhao Yao¡¯s Cat Wondend, Ah Qiang became like this.¡± Roly Poly shouted, ¡°Daily work of more than six hours, fed only on cat rations and suffering from sexual harrassment, discrimination and insults.¡±

    The crowd eximed again and a female cat shook her head as she covered her eyes.

    Roly Poly sent Ah Qiang away and got Mango to go up the stage.

    ¡°This blue cat is called Mango.¡± Roly Poly sighed and said, ¡°A month ago, he was an intelligent and lively kitten studying happily in the first year of school. Because his parents owed Zhao Yao money, he was sold to Cat Wondend.¡±

    Roly Poly caressed Mango¡¯s head and sighed. ¡°On one night, he was forced into a Cat Wondend¡¯s private room and tens of women cuddled him for three hours. When Mango shed his fur and ran out, he had gone mad.¡±

    Roly Poly beckoned the camera to shift closer to have a tighter shot of Mango¡¯s face, who was spitting out his tongue with a silly expression.

    ¡°A strong and grown up cat bing a sick cat, a healthy cat bing a mad cat. How many cats are we going to sacrifice for Cat Wondend?!¡±

    Roly Poly pointed at Zhao Yao¡¯s photograph and said, ¡°Do you want to be oppressed by him?¡±

    Uncle Egg led the crowd and shouted, ¡°No!¡±

    Roly Poly continued, ¡°Do you want this human to ride on our heads and poo on us?! Do you want to see cats after cats being harmed by him?¡±

    ¡°No!¡±

    Roly Poly roared, ¡°It¡¯s time for supercats to rise up! We have to show Zhao Yao our resolve! Let him know we¡¯re serious!¡±

    The cats raised their paws solemnly and shouted, ¡°Serious!¡±

    ¡°Well done!¡±

    ¡°Let Zhao Yao see our true colors!¡±

    ¡°We can¡¯t let him do what he wants!¡±

    Roly Poly nodded with satisfaction. He thought, ¡°Humph, when I¡¯ve absorbed all your superpower DNA and betrayed Zhao Yao, I¡¯ll be the most powerful supercat.¡±

    Project X shouted in his heart, ¡°Quick! Let me touch these cats!¡±

    Roly Poly said, ¡°Don¡¯t hurry me. These things take time. It can¡¯t be hurried.¡±

    Project X controlled Roly Poly¡¯s paw and pped the floor. ¡°Quick! I can¡¯t hold any longer!¡±

    ¡°I know. Don¡¯t move around.¡± Roly Poly pointed at therge photograph of Zhao Yao and shouted, ¡°Good! We¡¯ll swear to protest against Zhao Yao¡¯s tyranny! The Earth belongs to the supercats!¡±

    ¡°Protest against Zhao Yao¡¯s tyranny! The Earth belongs to the supercats!¡±

    Roly Poly said, ¡°Good! All catse onto the stage and piss at his photograph! We¡¯ll be family from now on!¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°Pissing at Zhao Yao¡¯s photograph?!¡±

    The supercats were shocked by Roly Poly¡¯s words.

    The entire conference hall became silent. The cats backed up and nobody dared to make the first move.

    ¡°A bunch of trash!¡± Roly Poly sneered and looked at Uncle Egg below the stage. Uncle Egg turned his head and moaned. ¡°Ouch! I ate spoilt food in the morning. My stomach is in pain!¡±

    ¡°They are all unreliable cats!¡±

    Roly Poly shouted, ¡°This is our show of loyalty to our cause. Since everyone¡¯s shy, I¡¯ll be the first one!¡±

    Roly Poly went to the front of the Zhao Yao¡¯s photograph and aimed his buttocks at the photograph.

    The supercats became excited and they raised their cell phone and aimed at the stage.

    Matcha said excitedly, ¡°Take out your cell phone! Where¡¯s my cell phone?¡±

    The adjacent Old Cat said, ¡°It¡¯s here. I¡¯ll take the pictures!¡±

    Matcha said excitedly, ¡°Haha, when I send this video to Zhao Yao, I¡¯ll see how Roly Poly is beaten to death!¡±

    Seeing tens of cats aiming their cell phones at him, Roly Poly stood for a while and said, ¡°If you aim your cell phones at me, I¡¯ll be unable to piss.¡±

    ¡°Put away all your cell phones!¡±

    After several minutes of coaxing from Roly Poly, the supercats put their cell phones away but kept them ready to capture the image of the pissing Roly Poly.

    After waiting for half a day, Roly Poly did not piss. Matcha could not help disguising his voice to say, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you pissing? Are you having weak kidneys?¡±

    Cannon shouted, ¡°Yes! Are you pissing soon?¡±

    Lightning said, ¡°If you¡¯re not pissing, I¡¯m leaving.¡±

    ¡°Shut up!¡± Roly Poly scolded and said softly, ¡°I ran out of piss...¡± He looked at Mango who was standing by the side and said, ¡°Let Mango piss first.¡±

    Matcha led the booing and the crowd booed loudly.

    A ck cat jumped on the stage and said, ¡°Wait, let me piss first!¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s eyes lit up and walked forward. ¡°What a strong cat. What¡¯s your name?¡±

    The ck cat walked forward and smiled. ¡°My name¡¯s...¡±

    His body expanded rapidly and becamerger than a tiger.

    He opened his mouth to a meter wide and swallowed Roly Poly. With a jump, he swallowed the silly looking Mango.

    Therge mouth extended a crimson red tongue that licked the lips. ¡°Are they Zhao Yao¡¯s supercats? Heh, heh, heh, they¡¯re not impressive.¡±

    He looked at the dumbstruck supercats below the stage and said in a low voice, ¡°Tell Zhao Yao, I¡¯ll eat all his supercats one by one... And he... will wait in fear and hopelessness...¡±

    The huge cat on the stage leaped, crashed through the walls and bolted off.

    Matcha blinked his eyes and looked at Old Cat. ¡°That guy... just swallowed Mango?¡±

    Old Cat said, ¡°Seems like it.¡±

    A figure that looked like a ck leopard leaped quickly from a tall building in Jianghai.

    ¡°Heh, heh, heh, heh.¡±

    Therge cat ran as heughed excitedly.

    ¡°That¡¯s too easy.¡±

    ¡°Those cats under Zhao Yao did not have a sense of vignce. They have livedfortably for too long.¡±

    ¡°Wait till I eat all of them...¡±

    Therge cat was traveling in the city buildings, tens of thousands of meters high up above the ground.

    A satellite camera was tracking his movements.

    ¡°Identify the target.¡±

    ¡°He swallowed two of Zhao Yao¡¯s cats.¡±

    ¡°All units on standby. Follow him but don¡¯t engage.¡±

    Uncle Ho looked at the big screen in themand center and observed the high speed moving figure. He turned his head and asked, ¡°Have we informed Zhao Yao¡¯s side?¡±

    ¡°Bai Quan received our call and he said they knew about it.¡±

    Uncle Ho nodded. ¡°We¡¯ll wait for them.¡±

    A middle-aged soldier, who was standing beside Uncle Ho, frowned and showed his displeasure. ¡°Uncle Ho, why must we wait for Zhao Yao? Shouldn¡¯t we capture the cat immediately to reduce casualties, especially when those two cats were swallowed?¡±

    Uncle Ho said, ¡°Zhao Yao¡¯s cats are still in his stomach. It¡¯s best to wait for Zhao Yao to settle it. This is Jianghai, he¡¯ll arrive any moment.¡±

    ¡°Should we consider this at this time?¡± The soldier asked.

    A Russian general said, ¡°This capturing operation is a coboration between our countries. Ho, perhaps you do not understand how terrifying Perdition is.

    He created the Cat Worship Cult in Russia and caused the entire country to break down. This cat, whether it is because of his superpowers or his thoughts, is extremely dangerous. We have to destroy him at the first opportunity...¡±

    Perdition was a supercat from Russia.

    He was an anti-human cat who wanted to overthrow the human system. He was a thinker who wanted to lead the supercats to change the world.

    After creating the Cat Worship Cult, he changed his name to Perdition to symbolize the destruction of the old human system.

    Uncle Ho looked at them and said, ¡°Since he¡¯s so dangerous, how did he escape? You are unwilling to divulge the details of this cat. I¡¯m doubtful of your resolve for our coboration.¡±

    The Russian general became glum as he recalled the terrifying events three weeks ago. ¡°Theoretically... he shouldn¡¯t have escaped... He wasn¡¯t adapt inbat. His superpower allows him to change three of a person¡¯s three beliefs unconsciously...¡±

    ¡°Change three beliefs?¡± Uncle Ho was astonished. ¡°Is it permanent? Or temporary?¡±

    The general sighed and said, ¡°Permanent... the humans who were changed by him went through two years of psychiatric treatment without sess...¡±

    Because of Perdition¡¯s thoughts and influence, the Cat Worship Cult expanded rapidly. Within two years, it attracted thousands of supercats to join in. Due to the deception of the cult, the supercats brought alongrge numbers of apostles.

    To exterminate the Cat Worship Cult, the local government expended a huge amount of resources which affected the proper functioning of the country.

    After capturing Perdition, Russia was very careful and secretive when dealing with him. He was imprisoned in Siberia¡¯s secret underground prison.

    The cell room that imprisoned Perdition was made of superalloy which was resistant to nuclear attacks. The prison was equipped with lethal gas, an incinerator that could burn at more than 5000¡ãC, a vacuum system that could provide oxygen as well as vacuum and a 150 ton liquid nitrogen system that could freeze Perdition any time.

    The perimeter was guarded by more than 300 apostles and a permanentplete armored unit.

    In the underground prison, Perdition went through various experiments for them to research his superpower and to find ways to use his superpower.

    For many years, it was without sess. Perdition had incredible willpower. No matter how much torture was used against him, they were unable to let Perdition lend his superpower to humans.

    Though the experiments were not sessful, Perdition did not escape and the prison wardens followed the rules not to talk or engage in physical contact. All the work was done by machines.

    Three weeks ago, things changed in the prison.

    The Russian general sighed, ¡°Three weeks ago, Perdition fell sick and his body¡¯s bones, flesh and nerves broke down. When we are about to treat him...¡±

    Perdition¡¯s body had an astonishing transformation. High temperature weapons, electromaic weapons and poison gas were ineffective. The small ck cat bore through five meters of superalloy armor.

    As Perdition escaped from his prison cell, 150 tons of liquid nitrogen flooded the entire prison and it became a -200¡ãC living hell.

    When everyone thought Perdition had been frozen, he dug a 200 meter tunnel and escaped to the surface. The guarding army was exterminated and the normal Earth apostles were unable to defeat him.

    After determining all methods useless, the Army had no choice but tounch three tactical nuclear missiles that turned the surface of the prison into a scorching hell.

    ¡°Youunched nuclear missiles to kill him?!¡± Uncle Ho said in surprise. ¡°Was it the military exercise three weeks ago? So it¡¯s because of this cat... but...¡± He turned to look at the high-speed moving Perdition who was being tracked by the satellite.

    ¡°The nuclear missiles didn¡¯t kill him?¡±

    ...

    Bai Quan followed Uncle Ho¡¯s coordinates and flew towards them at high speed.

    He borrowed Cheese¡¯s superpower and controlled his clothing to fly at high speed.

    Bai Quan flew at a low altitude. When he reached the outskirts of Jianghai, a ck figure came to his side and after a loud bang, Bai Quannded on the ground. When he stepped on the ground, a shockwave hit the ground and arge pit was created.

    The man who attacked Bai Quannded in front of him and smiled. ¡°Are you Bai Quan? I heard you¡¯re Zhao Yao¡¯s firstpdog. I¡¯ll start with you.¡±

    He thought, ¡°Humph, he has the ability to fly and a strong constitution. This guy... perhaps his body was also invaded by that thing?¡±

    Bai Quan patted his clothes and looked at the dark-skinned man who was 2 meters tall. Bai Quan said, ¡°You¡¯ve been following me from Cat Wondend Street to here. It¡¯s been hard on you. What¡¯s your name?¡±

    ¡°Hahahaha, you¡¯ve already discovered me? Impressive.¡± The man smiled and said, ¡°Remember, I¡¯m called Chang Haotian and I¡¯m here today to beat you to death, then beat Zhao Yao to death. Or I¡¯ll be beaten to death by you...¡±

    Bam!

    Bai Quan¡¯s back was struck by aser fired from a few hundred meters away. He was unable to dodge due to the speed of light.

    Chang Haotian bolted to Bai Quan¡¯s front and his fists created hurricanes as his punches pummeled Bai Quan like multiple massive pile drivers.

    ¡°Once you¡¯re in hell, don¡¯t me us for sieging you! This is the real battle...¡±

    On the Cat Ind, a small figure was hiding in the mud and both his hands were digging the soil in front.

    The firm and steady hands were like a steel shovel. Under the control of great strength, the soilyers were dug aside and the short figure proceeded gradually.

    ¡°Humph, a bunch of fools.¡±

    This digger was a white-haired and short old man with age spots and creases. He had emerald eyes andrge hooked nose that suggested he was a foreigner.

    It was hard to determine the age of the old man. The muscles on his body looked as if they were made of metal and he was able to dig soil like cutting butter.

    ¡°They obtained strong superpower suddenly and thought they were invincible.¡±

    ¡°They don¡¯t know whether it was the previous wars or the current superpower battles, the most important thing is to continue living.¡±

    ¡°Before thinking of winning, first consider how not to lose. Then one will not lose a single battle.¡±

    ¡°This is my age wise winning secret.¡±

    The elder, Olivier, was one of the European soldier who participated in World War 2 tens of years ago.

    At that time, the neen year old Olivier was trained for two weeks before he was involved in the most vicious and bloody war in history.

    On the battlefield, he discovered a thing.

    He had a knack for killing people.

    He looked forward to new battles every day and he loved to see life slip through his hands.

    Whether it was guns,bat cars, grenades, bay, long sword, rope, the fact that he could be killed anytime or he could kill anyone let him feel extremely excited.

    The happy days were short.

    When the end of war was announced, he felt despondent.

    On the night of a cocktail reception, he killed 28 of hisrades.

    The digging elder stopped abruptly and twisted his head to stick his ears firmly to the top ground.

    He could hear faintly the rhythmic knocking soundsing from the top.

    ¡°ording to my estimate, this should be below the vi.¡± The emerald eyes of the elder rolled around. ¡°Are they footsteps?¡±

    He turned his body carefully and slowly removed the soil at the top.

    The elder was very patient when he ambushed a target, he waited silently under the bed for three days and three nights. He cleared the soil bit by bit as though he was dealing with an art piece.

    ¡°Careful... patience... slow and steady...¡±

    ¡°The mysterious person who gave us such superpower must have a secret motive.¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao, whom we are all attacking against, must possess certain power that he was wary of.¡±

    ¡°Brute force against brute force is the stupidest strategy.¡±

    ¡°Determine the enemy¡¯s movement and weakness and attack him so that he will be disadvantaged.¡±

    ¡°Let me use the Chinese strategem to kill this Chinese guy.¡±

    To capture Zhao Yao¡¯s parents, Olivier arrived in Jianghai two weeks ago.

    Making use of the Double Eleven chance, he arrived at a courier center and found Zhao Xue¡¯s package. He attached a GPS device to the package to determine the location of Cat Ind and the vi.

    With his strong body, he swam to Cat Ind and dug a hole to bury himself. He rested while waiting for his order.

    Today, a mysterious message emerged in his mind. He followed the direction of the hole and dug towards the Cat Ind vi.

    Olivier dug for a while and stuck his head up to listen to sounds of footsteps.

    ¡°These footsteps... light, full of life, firm and strong... ording to intelligence, Zhao Yao had strong constitution and fighting skills. Is the person Zhao Yao?¡±

    Olivier frowned and his mind analyzed if it was a good chance to do a sneak attack on Zhao Yao or to wait for him to leave and kidnap his parents.

    After pondering, his eyes glinted with two cold rays. He stopped moving and his breathing became long and slow. Heid limp in the hole like a snake in a winter slumber.

    He decided to wait for Zhao Yao to leave.

    An hourter, Olivier listened intently. When there were no sounds, he continued digging.

    He removed thest tile carefully and climbed up from the hole like a python with no bones.

    Two light puffs rang in the air and Olivier was hit hard. He vomited fresh blood and fell to the ground.

    Zhao Xue walked over from outside the door barefooted. She flung a stone away as she surveyed Olivier. ¡°I felt something moving underground just now. So it was a man digging out? I thought he had tunneling superpower.¡±

    Zhao Xue looked at the motionless Olivier and thought, ¡°The stone that I had thrown had prated his stomach and chest. I¡¯ll call Bai Quan to clear up.¡±

    She took out her cell phone and made a phone call to Bai Quan.

    ¡°Nobody¡¯s picking up the phone.¡±

    As Zhao Xue was looking at her cell phone, the fallen Olivier opened his eyes and twisted his body like a python. Then he activated his explosive strength and appeared before Zhao Xue.

    Zhao Xue was shocked. ¡°This guy...¡±

    She crossed her hands to defend against Olivier¡¯s attack while she kicked viciously at his stomach.

    The elder squirmed into a ball and dodged Zhao Xue¡¯s attack. Like a tornado, he executed countless fists and palm attacks that engulfed Zhao Xue.

    Zhao Xue blocked a few of the attacks and wanted to back up and recover herself but he was like a python that stuck to her and he attacked like a vicious thunderstorm.

    ¡°Chinese people are confused. They like to say do not pursue a desperate foe...¡±

    ¡°And yet they say cut the weeds and dig up the roots.¡±

    ¡°Hehehe, I like thest one. Cut the weeds and dig up the roots but the weeds grow again when the spring wind blows.¡±

    The elder¡¯s diction was clear and his authentic Chinese rang the air as the words etched in Zhao Xue¡¯s mind.

    Zhao Xue was worried. ¡°He¡¯s able to breathe normally while attacking me? His strength is superior to mine? I can¡¯t let him gain the upper hand. I¡¯ve to think of a way to retaliate.¡±

    The elder¡¯s fist shot out like a long siege bow. Zhao Xue held her breath and wanted to contract her stomach to brace for the attack so that she could have a chance to counterattack.

    A puffing sound was heard and his fists prated Zhao Xue¡¯s stomach.

    ¡°What?!¡± Zhao Xue¡¯s eyes squinted and saw superalloy daggers hidden in his fingertip gaps. ¡°This guy... I¡¯m sure there were no daggers... how did hide them?¡±

    After gaining advantage, the elder whipped his leg like a hurricane at Zhao Xue who snorted in fury. Sheshed out her leg like a whip and the air at the tip of her leg exploded.

    Both their legs collided with a huge bang. Following Zhao Xue¡¯s painful scream, fresh blood sttered from her thigh.

    Zhao Xue looked at his tattered pants on his thigh and noticed numerous distorted steel needles affixed on a steel te.

    Zhao Xueshed her full strength on these steel needles and her muscles on her thigh were torn.

    ¡°They appeared suddenly. Is that a superpower...¡± Zhao Xue was infuriated. ¡°This old man deserves to die...¡±

    Seeing the elder wielding a hand knife and shing the air, Zhao Xue did not block but used her good leg to step on the ground and backed up.

    The elder did not pursue her butughed sinisterly. ¡°You¡¯re getting smarter, woman. I¡¯m able to obtain toys from my Dimension Bag.¡±

    Zhao Xue narrowed her eyes and saw several silver wires entangled in his palm.

    The elder waved the metal wires in his hands. ¡°For example, if I use enough force, this nano metal wire could cut through a battle cruiser.

    With my strong body, I could cut anything like cutting a beancurd. Though you evaded my wires, but don¡¯t you need to remove that thing from your stomach?¡±

    ¡°Stomach?¡± Zhao Xue was shocked. She touched her stomach and a thunderous explosion rang in the air.

    When the elder cut open her stomach, a grenade, which was put inside, exploded.

    ¡°Ah!!!!!¡±

    Zhao Xue wailed in pain as she knelt on the ground with her body full of blood. Both her hands scratched and left deep trails on the ground.

    The elder waited at a distance and did not advance. He flicked his hand calmly and steel needles appeared in his palm.

    Olivier had used his Dimension Bag superpower.

    The various weapons and devices used were from the Dimension Bag. Because of this, he was able to ambush Zhao Xue.

    Though the Dimension Bag was not able to contain life like the Extradimensional Belly but the various use of weapons greatly increased Olivier¡¯sbat prowess.

    ¡°Young people like you, don¡¯t you know the difference between humans and animals?¡±

    ¡°Whether you are using tools or not.¡±

    The elder looked coldly at Zhao Xue, who hugged her stomach, wailing in pain. She gradually fell to the ground and stopped moving. ¡°You are foolish to fight bare-handed.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t y dead. A grenade¡¯s not enough to kill you.¡± The elder held a steel needle and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t give you a chance. I won¡¯t even get close to you.¡±

    When the elder was about to shoot out his steel needle at Zhao Xue, he felt a hot breath blowing on the back of his skull.

    Olivier was like a frightened animal and he threw tens of steel needles to his back.

    Crispy sounds of the steel needles ripping through the air was heard and all the needles were right on target.

    ¡°With my strength, the power of every thrown steel needle was not lesser than an armor piercing shell. With such a short distance, he¡¯s definitely dead...¡±

    When Oliver swiveled his body, he saw Zhao Yao standing emotionless behind him. Zhao Yao hugged his chest and looked quietly at him.

    ¡°Zhao Yao!!¡± Olivier was slightly shocked but when he saw the dented steel needles falling on the ground, he was astonished.

    ¡°He blocked the steel needles that I shot out at proximity. Did he use his high speed hands to catch the needles? Or is it due to that strange clothing?¡±

    Olivier bent his body like a wary beast. He tiptoed and raised his arms as he gazed intently at Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao did not look at Olivier. Instead, he looked at Zhao Xue who was on the ground. ¡°Hey, are you alright?¡±

    Lucifer was at Zhao Xue¡¯s side licking his lips. He retracted his paws and looked at Zhao Xue¡¯s wounds with a pair of excited eyes. ¡°Zhao Xue¡¯s good at ying dead.¡±

    Zhao Xue screamed and her wounds went through rapid regeneration. She shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t touch him! Leave that old man to me!!¡±

    ¡°Bullying me because I don¡¯t have superpower...¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m going to beat him to death!!¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and surveyed Oliver, who had a Level 25 indicator above his head. Then Zhao Yao looked at the mission panel.

    Mission: Sudden Change

    Mission Objective: There were sudden appearances of Level 10 and above apostles on Earth. Where did they obtain their superpower? Investigate the truth of this phenomenon.

    Mission Reward: 10000 experience points

    Mission Penalty: None.

    ¡°10000 experience points, not bad. I noticed the Level 25 old man seems to belong to the Furless Tribe who used power of awareness to strengthen the body.¡± Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Did the Furless Tribe send him here? No, it doesn¡¯t look like Furless Tribe¡¯s way of doing things. Who could it be? Short Fur Tribe? Why don¡¯t they use awareness distortion to control other people?¡±

    As Zhao Yao was considering the possibilities, Olivier fixed his gaze at Zhao Yao. He observed Zhao Yao¡¯s line of sight and listened to Zhao Yao and Zhao Xue¡¯s conversation. He thought, ¡°He didn¡¯t bother about me?¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s distracted?¡±

    Seeing Zhao Yao in deep thoughts, he kept his wits. ¡°Humans are not machines. No matter how strong the person is, he could not possible be focused 24 hours a day.

    For a normal human, the maximum limit for focusing is 15 minutes. He had to rx for some time before he could focus again.¡±

    ¡°Even if we had super constitution, we couldn¡¯t possibly focus for 24 hours.¡±

    ¡°This is when we make mistakes.¡±

    ¡°Because Zhao Yao underestimated me and he was concerned with his sister¡¯s injury, at this moment... he¡¯s not focused on me...¡±

    ¡°Then...¡±

    Olivier had the intention to retreat when Zhao Yao first appeared as he was nervous. But seeing Zhao Yao being distracted while talking to Zhao Xue, Olivier decided to abandon his n to retreat and prepared to attack Zhao Yao.

    A series of ns shed through his mind as Olivier leaped and appeared in front of Zhao Yao. He kicked up a whirlwind of soil into the air to block Zhao Yao¡¯s vision.

    Light rays shed as nanowires appeared in his palm and he slipped the wires towards Zhao Yao¡¯s neck.

    He twirled the nanowires viciously around Zhao Yao¡¯s neck.

    His eyes glimmered brightly as he tugged with full effort.

    Pom!

    The nanowire was straightened and the wires that was twirled around Zhao Yao¡¯s neck emitted metallic scratching sounds.

    The muscles of Olivier bulged from his effort and he exhaled a white mist as he exerted his full strength. However, the nanowires failed to make any marks on Zhao Yao. Not even a drop of blood was seen.

    Zhao Yao turned his head and looked at Olivier. ¡°Hey Zhao Xue, I¡¯dlike to leave him to you but he¡¯s eager to fight me. What should I do?¡±

    Zhao Xue squatted on the ground as she held her stomach and roared, ¡°Do anything you want as long as you don¡¯t kill him!¡±

    The corners of Zhao Yao¡¯s lips lifted.

    Olivier felt a gentle wind in front of his eyes and a sharp pain in his chest. He was flung far away.

    A series of booming soundster, Olivier had smashed through three thick trunks as he rolled on the ground. Then he smashed arge rock and came to a halt.

    He lifted his head and felt a sharp pain in his chest.

    ¡°I have broken three ribs...¡± He lifted his head and saw Zhao Yao covering his chest as he floated towards him. Zhao Yao said, ¡°Did you use your leg to kick Zhao Xue? Was it your left leg or right leg?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°You better not move. Wait for Zhao Xue to beat you to death...¡±

    Swoosh... Olivier half squatted and like apressed spring, he stomped heavily on the ground, causing it to crack. With a loud boom, he appeared in front of Zhao Yao. His hand shed and Olivier obtained a super alloy bay. He stabbed Zhao Yao¡¯s chest viciously.

    Pom!

    A ck figure shed across him as though he was in a dream. He was unable to react and the steel de that he was holding was stomped until it was deformed and broke. His stomach was kicked by Zhao Yao until he flew out once again and smacked against the ground. He rolled and created a deep trail that was more than ten meters.

    Wah! Olivier spat out fresh blood. ¡°My stomach... my intestines are crushed...¡±

    ¡°The difference inbat prowess... is too great...¡±

    Zhao Yao floated towards him with his hands covering his chest. He said helplessly, ¡°If you don¡¯t move, you won¡¯t get kicked. You don¡¯t seem to understand.¡±

    Olivier shed as he intended to flee.

    Zhao Yao was like Olivier¡¯s shadow. He appeared behind Olivier and gave him a kick.

    Bam!

    Olivier¡¯s right hand fractured and he fell limply to the ground.

    Ha! Olivier hollered and took out a thundersh from his Dimension Bag. In the exploding brilliance, he fled in the direction of the ocean.

    Bam!

    Zhao Yao followed closely behind Olivier as the blinding light of the thundersh had no effect on him. He executed a right whipping kick on Olivier¡¯s calf, which bent like a twisted dough.

    Olivier did not give up because he knew it was a life and death situation.

    His face looked fierce and his eyes bulged. Terror, fear, regret, anxiety, agitation, fury... his mixed feelings caused his adrenaline to surge.

    ¡°I¡¯ll die if I don¡¯t escape... I have to escape... mybat prowess is much inferior...¡±

    ¡°Why... Why am I afraid?!¡±

    Olivier, whose hand and leg were disabled, sprawled on the ground. He used his remaining hand and leg to escape like a fleeing hyena.

    Bam! Bam! Bam!

    He was like a ser ball that was kicked up in the air. No matter how much suffering he went through, or how he escaped or retaliated, Zhao Yao kicked him until he was airborne.

    ¡°Hey, stop running. I¡¯ll kick you to death.¡±

    After being kicked back to his original position, Olivier was filled with madness as he looked at Zhao Yao. ¡°B*stard!¡±

    ¡°He didn¡¯t think much of me.¡±

    Shame and fear that Olivier had not felt before surged within. He looked at Zhao Yao red-faced and both his hands shed as he took out a tactical nuclear bomb.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, don¡¯t move!¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s expression changed slightly. Olivier discovered his hand bing numb as Zhao Yao grabbed the nuclear bomb from him.

    Olivierughed hysterically and looked viciously at Zhao Yao with his red-shot eyes. ¡°It¡¯s of no use. Before the start of my operation, I started the countdown sequence to prevent failure of my mission.

    The power of this tactical nuclear bomb is sufficient to detonate the entire ind. You might not die but your kin and cats will die! If you let me go, I¡¯ll tell you...¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned and both his hands shed. Then he looked at Olivier and said, ¡°Are you done yet?¡±

    The nuclear bomb disintegrated into pieces and dropped to the ground.

    Olivier was motionless. He looked astonished at Zhao Yao and the bomb fragments. ¡°How could it be? Even the best bomb disposal expert could not have done this, the bomb would have exploded halfway. Why...¡±

    Zhao Xue, who hadpleted regeneration, ran over and looked at Olivier. ¡°Come, fight with me. I¡¯m going to hammer you this time.¡±

    Olivier squinted his eyes and looked at Zhao Yao, who had walked to one side to make a phone call.

    Olivier was feeling pressured. ¡°Zhao Yao ignored me... I¡¯ll kill his sister...¡±

    Pom! Fists collided with fists. Olivier¡¯s fist were armed with steel spikes and they were bent beyond recognition. Zhao Xue regenerated her fist and pummeled Olivier with her blood-stained fist.

    ¡°Beating a woman?! Ah!¡±

    ¡°Come on, fight!¡±

    ¡°Awesome!¡±

    Looking at Zhao Xue beating up Olivier, Zhao Yao, who was floating in mid-air, spoke into the cell phone, ¡°Doll, how¡¯s the rest doing?¡±

    Doll¡¯s nanobugs, which were deployed all over Cat Ind, detected anomalies. Zhao Yao hurried back to Cat Ind to help Zhao Xue defeat Olivier.

    Zhao Yao asked Doll about the situation at other locations.

    Doll said, ¡°Bai Quan¡¯s having some problems. Do you want to send someone over there ?¡±

    ¡°Let Anthony (the Star Cat with Teleportation superpower) send Sphynx cat over.¡± Zhao Yao looked at the badly beaten Olivier, who had a body strengthened by Level 25 power of awareness. Apparently, Olivier¡¯s body was not as tough as Zhao Xue¡¯s body which was trained ording to Sphynx cat¡¯s method.

    ¡°Good, I¡¯ll let them know.¡± Doll stopped before saying, ¡°There are two suspicious moving targets in Cat Wondend and the ck cat that swallowed Roly Poly and Mango... hmm, what¡¯s going on?¡±

    After Perdition swallowed Roly Poly and Mango, he traveled at high speed and arrived in Jianghai¡¯s rural area.

    As he raised up his stomach, Roly Poly sneered as he was immersed in the stomach acid.

    ¡°This cat dared to swallow me. He has kicked a steel te. Project X! Deal with him!¡±

    Roly Roly ced his paw on the stomach wall and got ready to absorb his superpower DNA.

    Project X shook his head and said, ¡°He¡¯s a supercat with the power of awareness. I can feel his superpower DNA absorbing energy from other dimensions.¡±

    ¡°Ah!¡± Roly Poly panicked and said, ¡°Perhaps, he¡¯s Zhao Yao¡¯s new supercat? Zhao Yao¡¯s finally making his move against me? No...¡± Roly Poly shook his head. ¡°If Zhao Yao wants to deal with me, it won¡¯t be so troublesome...¡±

    Project X said, ¡°Don¡¯t think too much. Coordinate with me to capture his superpower DNA. Let¡¯s deal with this cat first.¡±

    Pom! Mango¡¯s head knocked against Roly Poly¡¯s stomach.

    ¡°Why is Mango here?!¡± Roly Poly was shocked and looked at Mango¡¯s frowning silly look. He consoled Mango and said telepathically, ¡°Don¡¯t be angry Mango. Wait for a while, I¡¯ll bring you out.¡±

    Perdition, who was running continuously, stopped at a wall corner.

    He licked his own stomach and was puzzled. ¡°What¡¯s this feeling... is my stomach upset? I¡¯m thinking too much?¡±

    Buzz!

    Hearing the intestines in his stomach moving incessantly, Perdition massaged his tummy. ¡°Am I having a stomachache? Is it because of breakfast? I¡¯ve always felt that the cat ration fed to stray cats is of poor quality...¡±

    Surveying the surroundings, Perdition walked into a small alley and thought, ¡°I¡¯ll find a ce to relieve myself.¡±

    Perdition found a corner position and tilted his buttocks. As he was about to relieve himself, a meow frightened him and he stood up.

    He turned his head and saw an American Shorthair standing on a wall, looking at him unhappily.

    Fish Ball looked at Perdition and shouted, ¡°Hey, burly guy, are you pooing indiscriminately?¡±

    Perdition was stunned. If he was human, Perdition would have killed him but he was a cute supercat and Perdition did not harm him.

    It was a normal thing to poo but Perdition wasbelled by him as being ¡°indiscriminate¡± so he felt ufortable.

    Perdition thought for a while then nodded. ¡°You have a problem?¡±

    ¡°Are you pooing indiscriminately? Did you bring along a newspaper? Do you know where to dispose of your poo?¡± Fish Ball looked at Perdition¡¯s nk look and said angrily, ¡°I know you aren¡¯t prepared! Do you know that indiscriminate pooing is prohibited in Jianghai!¡±

    Perdition said, ¡°Ah?!¡±

    Fish Ball said angrily, ¡°It¡¯s because of a ck sheep like you that I was scolded. Recently, there have been cases of poo being thrown indiscriminately in the small district. Was this you?¡±

    Perdition said, ¡°How could I do such a thing? Besides...¡±

    Perdition thought for a while and decided to correct Fish Ball¡¯s way of thinking so that he was not bound by human thoughts. Perdition said, ¡°Indiscriminate... Indiscriminate pooing is in our nature and a God given right. Why do you follow human rules?¡±

    A charismatic voice filled Fish Ball¡¯s mind. Perdition activated his superpower.

    Perdition wanted to change the three of Fish Ball¡¯s beliefs and let him understand that indiscriminate pooing was a cat¡¯s natural rights=.

    Fish Ball felt dizzy all of a sudden and thought, ¡°Indiscriminate pooing seems alright... Why aren¡¯t we allowed to poo indiscriminately?¡±

    The cell phone in his backpack rang and Fish Ball woke up. He took out his cell phone and found that someone had sent him Wechat messages.

    An uncontroble person said, ¡°Are you done yet? Why did you go out for such a long time? Are you pooing outside?¡±

    ¡°An uncontroble person¡± was Xiao Yu¡¯s new ount alias. Seeing Xiao Yu¡¯s message, Fish Ball replied, ¡°No! I saw a cat pooing indiscriminately and I¡¯m correcting him!¡±

    He lifted his head and red at Perdition as he said, ¡°Hey! If you didn¡¯t bring newspaper, go to the bathroom. Otherwise, I¡¯ll report you.¡±

    Perdition was dumbfounded and activated his superpower. ¡°Why do we have to go to the bathroom? Don¡¯t be bound to human rules. Free your nature and embrace true freedom...¡±

    Fish Ball said, ¡°Why are you full of nonsense? Are you going? I¡¯m calling the cops if you don¡¯t follow the rules. Do you know that this is my territory?¡±

    Perdition looked surprised at Fish Ball. Perdition¡¯s superpower was like using his willpower to break a spoon. The moment it broke, he had changed three of his target¡¯s beliefs.

    At this instance, he felt he was trying to break the steel column of arge building.

    ¡°His willpower¡¯s strong and he is adamant about proper pooing,¡± Perdition thought. ¡°Is it because he lost something important due to indiscriminate pooing? So he was unable to let it go?¡±

    Perdition tried to change Fish Ball¡¯s three beliefs but Fish Ball saw Xiao Yu¡¯s figure in his mind.

    Seeing that Perdition was not budging, Fish Ball said furiously, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to the bathroom? I¡¯m calling the cops!¡±

    Perdition did not believe his superpower had failed. He red at Fish Ball and continued saying, ¡°Think of your nature. Feel your heart. Think of the things that you really want...¡±

    Fish Ball was infuriated. Perdition did not listen to him and even red at him.

    ¡°I would like you to go to the bathroom, why is that difficult? Why are you so uncultured?¡±

    ¡°How could it be?¡± Perdition was shocked. ¡°Why haven¡¯t his three beliefs been changed?¡±

    Perdition did not know that he received Furless Tribe¡¯s endowment, which was the fusion of awareness and body. Hence he had the power of awareness and a strong body but his superpower did not improve.

    Fish Ball had a strong support of the power of awareness and he deflected Perdition¡¯s Change of Three Outlooks superpower.

    ¡°I¡¯m getting angry!!¡± Fish Ball was infuriated and howled into the sky. With his howling, pairs of luminous eyes came from the surrounding walls, bushes, balconies, roof tops, underneath cars to take a look.

    Perdition frowned. As he was about to leave, his feet became weak.

    Seeing the surrounding cats sizing him up, Perdition felt grave. ¡°This is getting from bad to worse...¡±

    Noodle came barking. After seeing Fish Ball, Noodle shouted, ¡°Fish Ball, why are you howling? Xiao Yu asked me to call you back. You haven¡¯t finished your homework.¡±

    At this moment, Noodle opened his eyes widely as sounds of crackling rang in the air. Fish Ball dodged hurriedly as Perdition pooed indiscriminately. Dark curry contents spurted out, along with Roly Poly and Mango.

    Roly Poly looked up in a daze.

    ¡°Are you kidding me?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±

    Roly Poly slowly sat up as he stared at the mess around him in a trance. ¡°This guy actually shat me out of his ass? Thank goodness no one saw...¡±

    The next moment, clicking sounds rang out as lights shed around him. The countless supercats that had gathered around them had taken out their phones quietly and started to take pictures of him.

    Roly Poly froze on the spot as did his gaze. It was as if his eyes had turned to stone.

    ¡°My cat life...¡±

    Project Xmented exasperatedly, ¡°Hey, Roly Poly, it¡¯s just being shat out. There¡¯s no need to be so pessimistic. My thoughts almost left my body back then. I¡¯m still alive now and can even y a bit of Mobile Legends everyday.¡±

    Roly Poly thought, ¡°The whole world knows that I was shat out like shit by another cat. How am I supposed to live as a cat now...¡±

    Project X consoled him and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry,izens¡¯ memory of things onlysts for three days nowadays. Two dayster when there is a new update in Closers World or an attack from alien cats or whatever, no cat will remember what happened to you.¡±

    Right at that moment, Fish Ball shouted at Roly Poly, ¡°Roly Poly! Don¡¯t be scared!¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s body shook. He turned and stared at Fish Ball, moved by his words.

    Blinding rays of light emanated from Fish Ball¡¯s body as he shone directly on Roly Poly. He then took out his phone and screamed, ¡°Roly Poly! Smile!¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s eyes turned nk as he copsed on the floor like a puddle of mud.

    The next moment, as Mango¡¯s ability acted up again, the cat¡¯s butt shook and another rain of poop sttered out.

    Roly Poly¡¯sst strand of dignity waspletely shattered by this second onught of shit. He stopped thinkingpletely. It was as if his eyes turned into two ck holes; there was no sign of life left in him.

    Noodle wagged his tail and ran up to him, asking in a concerned manner, ¡°Don¡¯t be scared, don¡¯t be scared. I¡¯ll lick you guys up in a bit. You guys will be clean after some licking.¡±

    Fish Ball nced at Perdition, who had passed out from the extreme diarrhea and scoffed as he said, ¡°I literally scared the shit out of him.¡± As he said that, he turned back to Roly Poly, who was about to turn to stone. ¡°Let¡¯s take a few more photos first.¡±

    On the other hand, Doll, who had just taken a screenshot from the video, said to Zhao Yao over the phone, ¡°The cat that ate Roly Poly and Mango has already been dealt with. Do you want me to take him back?¡±

    ¡°Lock him up in the Extradimensional Belly.¡± Zhao Yao turned to look at the elder who was battling with Zhao Xue and said, ¡°Same goes for this guy.¡±

    Zhao Xue raised Olivier high over her head as he said weakly, ¡°Wait, I surrender...¡±

    ¡°Surrender?¡± Zhao Xue screamed. ¡°Did you not check up on us before you came? Over here, losing is only the beginning.¡±

    After a loud thud, Olivier was ruthlessly smashed down against Zhao Xue¡¯s knee before he copsed on the floor and passed outpletely.

    Zhao Yao turned and asked over the phone, ¡°Where are the other two suspicious persons?¡±

    Doll replied, ¡°Let¡¯s do a video call. I will show you from there.¡±

    ...

    On the Cat Wondend Street, Sebastian frowned slightly as he was put off by the crowd around him.

    ¡°China... Why are there so many people here?¡±

    ¡°They said Zhao Yao is here, but I can¡¯t find him at all.¡±

    Sebastian thought to himself, ¡°I thought I just needed toe here and squash him to death. Looks like I still need to find a way to seek him out now.¡±

    He thought about it for a moment before he went to a remote alley. His body shed and he entered the Awareness Dimension, traveling through it and arriving at a luxury vi tens of kilometers away.

    Sebastian returned to the vi he had randomly chosen and seized. He already regarded this ce as his stronghold in Jianghai.

    To him, especially after he had gained the power of Awareness, everything in the world belonged to him. The only difference was whether he wanted to seize it or not.

    He turned on theputer and started searching for information on Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Hmm, heard that the person-in-charge of managing supercats in Jianghai is very close to Zhao Yao?¡±

    ...

    In the forest on the outskirts of the city.

    Bai Quan swiftly dodged the opponent¡¯s attack as he leaped and flew up to the sky.

    He did not want to fight with the other party. After all, Roly Poly and Mango had been captured. That situation was obviously more urgent to deal with.

    However, he had just flew up to the sky when he felt theser that had just attacked him sweep across his face.

    ¡°Eh?!¡±

    The man who identified himself as Chang Haotian followed closely behind Bai Quan, grabbing him by the ankles and throwing him on the ground like a pinwheel.

    Amidst the booming explosions, a trail of shadows followed Bai Quan as he crashed right into the ground, forming a huge depression.

    Bai Quan slowly crawled out of the pit and frowned. His eyes seemed to have been sted right through by theser as he was close to blind now.

    Although he had an immensely strong physique, the eyes were still a rtively weaker organ.

    Laser attacks were a kind of supersonic attack. Once aimed at the right spot, they were almost impossible to dodge.

    ¡°The fluid in my eyes must have been boiling,¡± Bai Quan thought. ¡°I¡¯ll lose my vision temporarily. This can¡¯t be helped, but it will be a bit troublesome.¡±

    His ears twitched as he looked at Chang Haotian and said, ¡°So this means you won¡¯t let me go right?¡±

    Chang Haotian broke into raucousughter before he said, ¡°It¡¯s either I kill you, or you kill me. But now it looks like...¡±

    Zoom! As the earth cracked apart, Bai Quan had already charged right up to Chang Haotian, pointing right at his forehead.

    ¡°How fast!¡± Chang Haotian was shocked. He blocked off Bai Quan¡¯s attack with his left arm as his right arm shot towards Bai Quan¡¯s chest like a drill.

    The two became entangled in an intense battle. Countlesssers shed as they left chunks of burning flesh all over Bai Quan¡¯s body.

    However, the more they battled, the more shocked Chang Haotian became.

    ¡°While he is fighting with me, he is maintaining an irregr high-speed discement as well. Is he trying to avoid myser attacks?¡±

    ¡°This guy is so strong. In terms of power, speed, reaction time or fighting techniques, he is still slightly above me.¡±

    ¡°That was close,¡± he rejoiced in his heart. ¡°If I didn¡¯t blind him from the start, it would have been much more troublesome.¡±

    ¡°But now, a blind man is just a blind man. Even if you can detect my movements from the sounds I make, you won¡¯t be able to predict how thesers will strike...¡±

    At the same time, Chang Haotian¡¯s body transformed as he activated his superpower. His flesh and blood instantly turned into transparent diamonds.

    The next moment, a strongser beam burst out from afar, but this time, the target was Chang Haotian himself.

    When theser beam passed through Chang Haotian¡¯s diamond body, it underwent countless reflections and refractions to be countless piercingser needles that exploded out in all directions.

    Chang Haotian moved slightly as theser needles shot out in all directions like lighting out of a disco ball. Theser swept across Bai Quan¡¯s body leaving burn marks all over him.

    ¡°Every section and shape of this golden diamond body was carefully and specially designed by me.¡±

    ¡°After receiving the st from theser cannon, it will not weaken the impact but strengthen it by reflecting it as countlessser needles shooting out in all directions.¡±

    ¡°As I move, the pathways of light change ordingly. The range of theser needles bes irregr, making it almost impossible to dodge.¡±

    ¡°Although theser attack urs at the speed of light, making it almost impossible to avoid, the speed at which it is refracted out as light can be seen with the naked eye. A truly strong and expert fighter should be able to avoid it.¡±

    ¡°Unless... he is blind.¡±

    Whoosh!

    As Chang Haotian took a step out, countlessser needles shot out from his body.

    Bai Quan, who was totally unprepared for the attack, was almost instantly swept through by countlessser needles. Huge chunks of burnt flesh appeared all over his body as it sizzled with white smoke, as if it was freshly cooked meat.

    ¡°What attack was that?¡± Bai Quan was rmed by numerous burns on his body. ¡°There were suddenly so manyser beams and they almost all attacked at the same time. Does he have other aplices? They all have the power ofser attacks?¡±

    ¡°Bai Quan must now be thinking whether there are other people attacking him.¡±

    Chang Haotian scoffed and continued to charge towards Bai Quan. The fists of the two collided as both of them kicked out at the same time, as if two whips made of steel had struck at each other.

    Amidst the booming explosion, both parties were equally matched in physical brawling. However, Bai Quan¡¯s body had already been severely burnt and his chest was a burnt patch of ck. His power and speed were decreasing.

    Bai Quan, who had lost his vision, was totally unable to avoid the countlessser needles emanating from Chang Haotian¡¯s body. The odds were against him.

    ¡°No, at this rate I will lose,¡± Bai Quan frowned to himself. ¡°Then there¡¯s only one way...¡±

    Bai Quan thought of changing to a different battle tactic to see if he could crush his opponent once and for all.

    However, the sky suddenly changed.

    A dimension portal slowly opened as Dust Ball stuck her head out. Beside her was the alien cat with Mass Transfer superpower, Anthony.

    Sphynx cat said, ¡°Move aside everyone.¡±

    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! A st ofsers scoured the dimension portal, scaring Dust Ball and Anthony into retreating back behind the portal.

    Sphynx cat stared at the battle scene and frowned as he said, ¡°It¡¯s here?¡±

    Dust Ball and Anthony hid behind him as they stretched out their head to nod before quickly retreating back inwards.

    ¡°Tsk, what a nasty scene.¡± Sphynx cat shook his head as he watched the battle in front of him. He stood upright on his hind legs with his other two limbs crossed behind his back as he stepped out of the dimension portal leisurely. He proceeded to free fall downwards like a gigantic rock that weighed a thousand kilograms.

    Bam!

    Chang Haotian whipped his head around and saw a meteorite like body dropping from the sky and crashing right into the ground, creating a huge depression.

    In the huge pit, a small body slowly stood up.

    Bai Quan was shocked. He turned towards the source of the sound and thought, ¡°This aura...¡±

    ¡°Teacher, you¡¯re here?¡±

    Over the past few months, Bai Quan had to pass through the transferal gate to reach the snow mountains, where he would find Sphynx cat to borrow his abilities.

    While he borrowed Sphynx cat¡¯s abilities, he would also teach Sphynx cat about physical training and physical battle tactics.

    He was astounded by the realm which the other party had mastered.

    ¡°Don¡¯t... Don¡¯t call me...¡± A hoarse voice came out of Sphynx cat¡¯s mouth as if there was something stuck in his throat as he continued saying, ¡°... Teacher.¡±

    Bai Quan was even more amazed now. ¡°Teacher, you can speak now?¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡± Sphynx cat consciously touched his throat and said, ¡°It¡¯s all because I have to... to...municate with you humans. How troublesome. It¡¯s all because you guys can¡¯t hear telepathicmunication, so I have to specially change some parts of my body.¡± As he said that, he became more fluent in his speech.

    He stretched out a paw from his back and cracked his neck as he stared at the faraway Chang Haotian and said, ¡°Hey, if you run now, I won¡¯t chase after you. After all, I¡¯m not a young cat who will just kill the moment I see a person.¡±

    Chang Haotian was stunned for a moment. He just stared at Sphynx cat without saying a word.

    ¡°This cat... is so strange.¡± He stared at the furless cat that had dropped from the sky and could not help feeling how absurd the whole situation was.

    He did not feel any sense of enmity from that cat. If he did not focus on sensing that cat, he might not even have sensed it at all.

    Conversely, ever since that cat appeared, uncontroble feelings of fear started rising in his heart.

    He felt like a rat that was facing an impending earthquake, or like an antelope that had been targeted by a cheetah.

    These twopletely bipr emotions appeared in his mind at the same time, making Chang Haotian very confused and conflicted.

    ¡°Teacher? This Bai Quan is calling this cat his teacher? Are their superpowers all rted to superior physical constitution? This cat should be stronger than Bai Quan right?¡± Chang Haotian looked at Sphynx cat and thought to himself, ¡°Pure physical strength alone will not be enough to surpass the speed ofser beams, and it definitely won¡¯t be as strong or sturdy as diamond. He is not a match for me...¡±

    Sphynx cat frowned. ¡°The murderous aura remains around you. Looks like you¡¯re not going to give up.¡± He saw Sphynx cat stretch out his paw. That furless paw, arm and back suddenly warped and transformed as his muscles contracted violently. In the blink of an eye, his paw had already turned into the shape of a dragon¡¯s w.

    Sphynx cat calmly said, ¡°Bai Quan, remember this. When fighting with someone who has superpowers, the most important thing is...¡±

    ¡°One shot, one kill.¡±

    Whoosh!

    Chang Haotian was stunned for a moment before he felt emptiness in his body. His face was aplicated mix of shock and confusion.

    He tried to look down, but he realized he could no longer do that.

    Because at that moment, his head, torso and limbs had been dismembered into six parts, flying up towards the sky.

    He had been dismembered into six parts by Sphynx cat and thrown into the air, beforending on the ground with a loud thud.

    At the same time, Sphynx cat, who had just disappeared before his eyes, slowly emerged from the forest. He dragged a young man with him, who was the apostle that had been stingser cannons in hiding.

    Sphynx cat walked over to Bai Quan and threw the young man on the floor as he slowly said, ¡°One shot, one kill. Don¡¯t give these apostles a chance to use their abilities.¡±

    Bai Quan pointed to the dismembered Chang Haotian and said, ¡°Teacher, he looks like he¡¯s not dead yet.¡±

    Chang Haotian¡¯s head rolled around on the floor, his face looking utterly astounded, as if he wanted to run far away.

    ¡°Don¡¯t talk so much.¡± Sphynx cat¡¯s paw swept across the air with a trail of shadows and a loud thud. Bai Quan immediately fell to the ground as he clutched his stomach.

    Sphynx cat narrowed his eyes at the diamond head that was still rolling about on the floor. ¡°That¡¯s why I say all these nonsensical abilities of you guys are really troublesome.¡±

    He screamed at the transferal gate in the sky, ¡°Take all of them back!¡±

    Looking at the message he received on his phone, Zhao Yao nodded. ¡°That means... there¡¯s only two people left.¡±

    ¡°Doll, have you found them?¡±

    Doll said, ¡°These two guys have the ability to travel in the Awareness Dimension, I was not able to stalk them as such. However, one of the two guys have totally no intention to conceal himself...¡±

    The next moment, Zhao Yao¡¯s body shed as he disappeared into thin air.

    Sebastian walked into a huge building as if it were his own house.

    ording to his sources, this was the Jianghai government¡¯s supercats management office.

    He walked to the counter where thedy at the desk greeted him politely and asked, ¡°Hi Sir, how can I help you?¡±

    Awareness Distortion activated. Not long after, Sebastian arrived in front of a hidden elevator under thedy¡¯s directions.

    Security guards, police and office staff.

    Sebastian controlled all the defense personnel and office staff he passed by, turning them on his side.

    ¡°The defense over here in China is too weak.¡±

    He went up to the highest level of the building as if he was walking around his own house. At this point, there were more than a hundred people following behind Sebastian.

    Sebastian pushed open the doors to the office on the highest floor as his followers trailed behind him in a single file.

    However, he saw that behind the office desk, the office chair slowly turned, revealing Zhao Yao before him. ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t have to try so hard to find me. You could have just sent me a message on Weibo.¡±

    Sebastianughed, ¡°I was wondering how I coulde up so easily. Turns out you were waiting for me here all along.¡± As he said that, his face immediately turned serious. He said to Zhao Yao, ¡°Return all your supercats to me and I will spare your life and let you live as amoner.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Zhao Yao rubbed his head as he said, ¡°You look like a decent kid. Why do you sound like a fool when you speak?¡±

    Sebastian¡¯s gaze immediately turned murderous as he red at Zhao Yao. ¡°You asked for it.¡± He immediately activated his power of Awareness Distortion topletely control Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao nced at the Level 15bel on top of his head and easily deflected his attack. ¡°Tell me, where did your abilitye from?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s useless? That¡¯s impossible.¡± Sebastian was slightly stunned by how Zhao Yao seemed totally unaffected. The next moment, he decided to activate his powers at full force.

    If it was a normal person, or even an average apostle, entering the other party¡¯s Awareness and controlling it would be as easy as entering a room for him.

    However, Zhao Yao was like a safe vault. He could not break in to his Awareness no matter how hard he tried.

    ¡°Looks like you still don¡¯t really understand...¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his brow as he continued, ¡°The gap between us...¡±

    As he said that, the crowd that had followed behind Sebastian dispersed in an instance. They hadpletely broken out of his control.

    ¡°What?¡± Sebastian turned and saw what had just happened and was dumbfounded. ¡°You broke through my ability? Something¡¯s wrong...¡± He tried to control the crowd again but realized that they were being controlled by an even stronger force.

    Sebastian turned and looked at Zhao Yao as he asked, ¡°Your ability...¡±

    ¡°Ah, you mean Awareness Distortion? Or Awareness alone? It¡¯s the same ability as yours, just that mine is of a higher level.¡± Zhao Yao shrugged his shoulders and said, ¡°It¡¯s like the difference between monkeys and humans.¡±

    ¡°Monkeys and humans?¡± Sebastian stared at Zhao Yao indignantly. Just as he was about to activate his powers again, his body froze as he immediately sumbed to Zhao Yao¡¯s control.

    ¡°He can even... control me.¡±

    He always thought he had awakened with the most unique ability in the world that could easily wipe out all the apostles he met. That was until he met Zhao Yao now, who easily broke through his ability and even beat him with a stronger and much more powerful ability.

    Sebastian¡¯s confidence waspletely shattered at this moment. He stood on the spot like he had lost his soul and stopped answering Zhao Yao¡¯s questions.

    However, no matter how Zhao Yao controlled him, he could not get any information out of Sebastian as he simply knew nothing of the sort.

    ¡°Then there¡¯s only one person left.¡± Zhao Yao turned towards a government official who was slowly backing away. He nced at the Level 18bel on top of his head and asked, ¡°Are you nning to leave just like that?¡±

    The officer looked at Zhao Yao nkly and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Mr Zhao Yao? I don¡¯t understand what you mean.¡±

    Zhao Yao pointed to his own head and said, ¡°Stop acting. You stand out like a red name in my eyes. Sit down obediently. Don¡¯t force me to kill someone.¡±

    The next moment, the staff member suddenly copsed on the floor as he lost his Awareness. However, Zhao Yao could feel a surge of Awareness flying out of the man¡¯s body.

    ¡°Trying to escape?¡±

    With a wave of his hand, the dimension portal swallowed Sebastian whole. Zhao Yao¡¯s body disappeared in a sh as he chased after the Awareness that had fled.

    When Zhao Yao returned to the physical world in pursuit of the fleeing Awareness, he realized he had arrived in a pet shop.

    A muscr Russian man stood beside the table quietly as he stared at him. Zhao Yao stared at the Level 18 above his head and recognized the other party as the Awareness that had fled from him.

    Next, he saw a young, average-looking Asian man sitting on a chair beside him. The young man¡¯s long hair was all over his face but he did not seem to care, and focused on reading the book in his hand.

    All around him, there were numerous normal cats that were lying down, flipping, walking and even running around. There was even a cat that was sleeping soundly in his arms.

    ¡°Did he lure me here on purpose? Is he trying to ambush me? Doesn¡¯t look like it...¡± Zhao Yao nced at the book. The title of the book on the cover was ¡°Three Forms¡±. He nced at the top of the Asian man¡¯s head and thought to himself, ¡°Level 59? If I strike first, I should be able to finish him off quickly.¡±

    His power of Awareness rippled out slowly as he started to activate Dimension Seal.

    The long-haired youth did not seem to notice anything. After reading the book for a while more, he looked up and said to Zhao Yao, ¡°Zhao Yao, have you ever thought about a scenario where you would run into aliens?¡±

    Zhao Yao paused for a moment and thought, ¡°What is this guy trying to say?¡±

    Seeing how Zhao Yao did not respond, the long-haired youth continued, ¡°Think about this scenario.¡±

    ¡°One day, a bunch of aliens suddenly came to Earth.¡±

    ¡°As the power of aliens far surpassed that of humans, they easily defeated the human armies and ruled over Earth.¡±

    ¡°Humans became like dogs, pigs, cows and sheep, and were treated just like any other animal by the aliens. From being at the pinnacle of society, humans were banished to the level of existence of pigs and sheep.¡±

    ¡°You guys would be raised as pets, ughtered, even eaten like beef or mutton. Some would be yed around with as if they were the cats and dogs now. Some would be tortured likeb rats.¡±

    ¡°Of course, some humans would be adored by aliens and pampered while they were locked up in their cages by their alien masters. Conversely, there would also be some aliens who do not like little pets and would abuse them like how cats and dogs are being abused in society now, dismembering them, drowning them, grilling them and even being thrown out into the vast universe...¡±

    ¡°The position of humans and cats would bepletely reversed.¡±

    The young man closed the ¡°Three Forms¡± book and looked up at Zhao Yao, ¡°Think about such a scenario. Would you feel scared?¡±

 Chapter 1056: The Conversation

    <h4>Chapter 1056: The Conversation</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    ¡°Such a scenario would be simr to the rtionship between supercats and humans now.¡±

    ¡°To get foie gras, the goose is trapped in a narrow space and force fed huge amounts of food everyday.¡±

    ¡°To get the gall of a bear, the bear has to be dismembered first.¡±

    ¡°To achieve a greater mass, water is sted through stic tubes stuck up the nostrils of cows for hours.¡±

    ¡°Cats are thrown atop high ledges or have their eyeballs gouged out for entertainment...¡±

    ¡°At this point, humans can pity them and shed some crocodile tears for them.¡±

    ¡°But what if the situation is reversed? Supercats will treat humans just like how they treat animals.¡±

    ¡°Do you know that the Long Fur Tribe has already started using human clones in their battles...¡±

    The young man stared into nk space, as if he was immersed in his own memories.

    ¡°The absolute difference in power and race renders humanspletely powerless against supercats. That is an apocalyptic scenario for humans.¡±

    Zhao Yao silently set up the Dimension Seal around the ce. Once he was done, he quietly heaved a sigh of relief and said to the man, ¡°What exactly are you trying to say?¡±

    The man did not reply immediately. He stroked the cat in his arms before he slowly said, ¡°The battle between supercats and humans is never-ending. There is no space for negotiation. Which side will you choose in the cutthroat battle between these two races? Which side will you be able to stand on?¡±

    Zhao Yao stared at the other party and asked, ¡°You are from the Cat Hunters?¡±

    ¡°The Cat Hunters is not the only anti-cat group fighting the Short Fur Tribe. The Short Fur Tribe is also not the only tribe out of all three tribes that has anti-cat groups fighting against it.¡± The man calmly said, ¡°Zhao Yao, I checked your background before and saw the history of your. You are very lucky to have been born on a dominated and ruled by humans.¡±

    ¡°However, the danger is imminent in thisnd. The Short Fur Tribe can arrive on this at any moment.¡±

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes. He finally understood what the man was getting at. The man was trying to recruit him.

    If that was the case, the apostle that had attacked him previously was merely a pawn used by this man to test him.

    The man specifically mentioned the Short Fur Tribe as well. Zhao Yao thought about it for a while. The only way for news of the Short Fur Tribe to have been leaked on Earth would be through Tom and Giggle.

    Giggle had once told Zhao Yao that he had revealed his ns on Earth to Fei Fei. This Fei Fei was not Wheatley¡¯s father, though they had the same name, but it was a cat higher up in Giggle¡¯s n.

    However, this was likely to be false. Or else, other supercats would have came to Earth a long time ago.

    Seeing the thoughtful expression on Zhao Yao¡¯s face, the youth said, ¡°This thing is quiteplicated. I will start by exining the Source n of the Short Fur Tribe...¡±

    ¡°Source n?¡± Zhao Yao frowned. ¡°Doesn¡¯t sound like a good n.¡±

    ¡°Of course it isn¡¯t. Simply put, this is a n designed by the Short Fur Tribe to invent new superpower weapons that can help them fight against the Long Fur Tribe. Of the 12 ns, only the gray-back n is in charge of this n. The few short fur cats that you caught belong to this n.¡±

    The young man slowly said, ¡°Firstly, how much do you know about the Long Fur Tribe?¡±

    Zhao Yao decided to sit down. The man seemed like he had a lot of information about the alien cats, so Zhao Yao decided to have a chat with the man. ¡°I don¡¯t know anything about that. Care to exin it to me?¡±

    At the same time, he activated Time Freeze and wrote down a new mission in the Extradimensional Belly.

    The supercats in the Extradimensional Belly and in the physical world galvanized into action as well. They started the evacuation process within and around the exterior of the building. Doll also sent out masses of feline robots to surround the building.

    The young man said, ¡°The Short Fur Tribe has the power of Awareness. Each generation of supercats from their tribe are born with the power of Awareness. They can even use it to control other lives.

    The Furless Tribe possesses the power of physical constitution enhancement. Each generation of supercats from this tribe can strengthen their physical constitution using their power of Awareness, giving them immunity against most lesser powers.¡±

    ¡°As for the Long Fur Tribe, they could use the power of Awareness to strengthen their superpowers. On top of that, each generation of supercats born in this tribe will awaken with different kinds of superpowers.¡±

    ¡°The Source n, is therefore the Short Fur Tribe¡¯s grand n to steal the powers of the Long Fur Tribe. The full details of this n is considered ssified information of the highest security level in the Short Fur Tribe. We only know a small part of it.¡±

    The young man looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°20 years ago, the Short Fur Tribe captured a bunch of supercats from the Long Fur Tribe. They wanted to use the powers of these cats to strengthen the capabilities of the supercats in the Short Fur Tribe and even provide their descendants with more abilities.¡±

    ¡°You have to understand that the Short Fur Tribe¡¯s forte lies in Awareness. They can use their power of Awareness to do all sorts of unimaginable things, even inventing a skill like the Awareness Country. This skill allows them to exist in high-level dimensions and dreamscapes for long periods of time.

    However, they have too little information and research on the powers of the Long Fur Tribe.

    Hence their n was unsessful. Prolonged research did not enable them to mass produce supercats that were born with the power of Awareness and other superpowers.

    In face of the failure of the n, some of the higher ups in the Short Fur Tribe proposed some special methods. One of them is to nt the newborns of these experimental cats onto a fews for them to reproduce rapidly. Once a massive poption was created, they would select a few gifted cats from the masses to see if the method works.¡±

    The effectiveness of this n is very low, but the key point is that it had low costs.¡±

    ¡°Project X!¡± Zhao Yao was stunned. ¡°So Project X is a product of the Short Fur Tribe¡¯s n?¡± He turned to the young man in front of him as he began to think rapidly in his mind. ¡°This guy actually knows more than Giggle and Tom? Looks like they are doing better than I expected in the Short Fur Tribe.¡±

    ¡°No, now is not the time to think about all of this. If what he said is true...¡± Zhao Yao immediately recalled all the information he knew about Project X. ¡°That means that the alien cats also hadpound abilities and can even manipte the bodies of the Furless Tribe¡¯s supercats? Just that these experimental subjects did not have the power of Awareness.¡±

    Zhao Yao voiced his query and received an affirmative reply from the young man.

    ¡°A year ago, a supercat called Doomsday was retrieved from your, which greatly sped up the experimental progress. The supercats that they sent out subsequently did not return and other supercats have started to suspect the activity on this. However, they have been temporarily suppressed by us.¡±

    The young man continued, ¡°However, it is only a matter of time before they send more supercats here. Your will soon be faced with the greatest crisis it has ever met in its history.¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and slowly said, ¡°Let me think. Are you guys going to recruit me next?¡±

    ¡°We are your only option. Are you thinking of siding with supercats against humans like us?¡± The young man slowly said, ¡°I know you have already be the apostle of one of the 12 Sages, which is Grayley. But even he will not help you to secure a. After all, you are nothing but a mere human to him.¡±

    ¡°And if I don¡¯t join you guys?¡±

    A cold re shed in the young man¡¯s eyes. ¡°Although I considered that possibility, I would advise you against it.¡±

    A few minutes ago, in the Extradimensional Belly, Sebastian, who hadpletely broken down mentally and even passed out, slowly opened his eyes.

    Zhao Yao stared at the man and slowly said, ¡°You¡¯re threatening me?¡±

    The next moment, Zhao Yao¡¯s phone vibrated.

    The young man sat down and took out his phone as well. He turned to Zhao Yao and twitched his lips as he said, ¡°Take a look at your phone.¡±

    Puzzled, Zhao Yao took out his phone and unlocked it. He saw a flurry of messages sent to him. All his rtives and supercats sent him the same message which had only two words: Save me.

    The young man said, ¡°Sebastian, who you just sent away, I made him lose on purpose.

    I never expected you to have an alternate space. However, after you sent him in there, I already made him control all your supercats and men.

    Zhao Yao, you have no more cards in your hands. Don¡¯t do anything foolish. Join us, we will be your strongest support in fighting against supercats.¡±

    ¡°Oh,¡± Zhao Yao chuckled, ¡°Yeah, looks like I was tricked.¡±

    ...

    In the Extradimensional Belly, Elizabeth, Matcha and Catherine stared at Sebastian as they took out their phones and sent out messages.

    They managed to resist Sebastian¡¯s control with their Level 25 power of Awareness. However, they continued to pretend like they were under his control.

    Matcha narrowed his eyes. ¡°Zhao Yao was right. This guy lost too quickly that it was dubious. ying dirty? Can you even y us out?¡±

    Elizabeth asked, ¡°What now? Do we go ording to n or just attack him ourselves?¡±

    Catherine said, ¡°Let¡¯s wait for Zhao Yao¡¯s orders first. He seems to have other ns in store.¡±

    ...

    ¡°Looks like he doesn¡¯t know that the earthling supercats under me had already gained the power of Awareness. It¡¯s better not to let him know about that as well.¡±

    In the pet shop, Zhao Yao thought about the situation at hand as he nced at the contents of the Book. As he heard the truth from the words of the young man, his mission waspleted and he gained 10 000*2 experience points.

    At the same time, a new mission appeared in the Book.

    Mission: A p in the Face

    Mission Objective: This arrogant guy actually dared to threaten you? Teach him a good lesson. Show him what cruelty really is.

    Reward: 5000 experience points.

    Mission Penalty: None.

    ¡°It reflects my thoughts exactly.¡± Zhao Yao stared at the young man before him and thought to himself, ¡°But I can¡¯t kill him nor keep up with this beta mode. To turn from beta to alpha, the easiest way is to use weapons against him. Heh heh, it just so happens that my weapons are strong enough...¡±

    Although the other party threatened him, the man was not from a friendly organization and was even prepared to sacrifice him and Earth.

    Zhao Yao knew that if what the man said was true, the man would really be of great help to him. This organization would indeed be of great use.

    ¡°Time to put my acting skills to good use...¡±

    Zhao Yao stared at the young man in front of him and suddenly burst outughing. ¡°Do you really think that threatening me will work? If you did a background check on me, you should know what kind of a person I am.

    Whether its my kin, my friends or the cats I have...¡±

    Zhao Yao broke into what seemed like a crazed, devilish smile to him as he said, ¡°They are all like poker chips that can be easily sacrificed. Using them to threaten me only shows how naive you guys are. You¡¯re telling me an organization like this can overthrow the supercats?¡±

    The young man paused for a moment and nced at the Russian man, Ivanovic. He asked him using his power of Awareness, ¡°Is he speaking the truth?¡±

    Ivanovic maintained a poker face as he replied, ¡°I don¡¯t understand Mandarin.¡±

    The young man rolled his eyes and exined briefly before he asked again, ¡°From what you know, is he really such a person?¡±

    Ivanovic nodded his head and immediately replied, ¡°Yes.¡± He nced at Zhao Yao meekly before he continued, ¡°Heard that this guy will eat his own cats, beat his own sister, and overtly exploit his workers. A lot of people who had offended him disappeared mysteriously. He is the leader of the biggest and extremely evil organization on Earth. Even the government can¡¯t do anything about him.¡±

    ¡°I get it.¡± The young man nodded and stared at Zhao Yao as he fell into a dilemma. ¡°The target this time is actually such a horrible person? I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s a blessing or a curse to recruit such a person into the group...¡±

    Zhao Yao dragged the corners of his lips as much as he could and continued smiling devilishly. He stared at the man and said, ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t have to try so hard to make me join. Just amaze me with a power of yours, like... beating me in a fight.¡±

    As he said that, the power of Awareness surged out from Zhao Yao¡¯s body, forming two Frost Dragons that charged right at the man.

    The young man¡¯s face changed slightly as he raised his right hand and activated his power of Awareness, forming a huge, bright red palm that caught the two Frost Dragons.

    The Awarenesses of both parties collided in different skill forms.

    One was a freezing power that could freeze the thought process of a person and turn him into a vegetable.

    The other was a fiery power that would speed up the thought process and eventually drive the target into madness.

    Twopletely opposite powers collided against each other as both parties experienced a bout of difort from the impact.

    The young man¡¯s pupils contracted slightly as he immediately sensed that the other party¡¯s Awareness was slightly stronger than his. His thought process had actually slowed down by a very thin margin.

    Hence, he immediatelyunched a series of skill attacks.

    His power of Awareness first turned into numerous Lightsabers that swept towards Zhao Yao, followed by another part of his Awareness that formed an invisible wave which closed in on Zhao Yao secretly.

    Zhao Yao resisted the onught of attacks with his Level 60 power of Awareness.

    ¡°Hmm, it¡¯s like what Grayley said. The difference of a few levels in power of Awareness is not a decisive difference in power. The key lies in how the person uses that power and other superpowers with it.¡±

    When he saw that Zhao Yao was able to resist his test attacks without casting any skills, the young man¡¯s face turned serious.

    ck level skill ¨C One Cat Three Uses

    In that instance, the young man was able to split his Awareness into three parts and turn into three corresponding physical forms of himself. What surprised Zhao Yao even more was how the level atop the other party¡¯s head remained at Level 59.

    ¡°What a powerful skill?¡± The power of Awareness rippled out of Zhao Yao¡¯s body instantly as countless Frost Dragons burst out roaring in midair, audible only in their Awareness.

    The Russian man at the side seemed to have his thought process slowed down even though it was only the excess waves of Awareness power that rippled towards him. The Russian man looked as if he was about to freeze on the spot at any moment.

    The young man, who had split himself into three clones, started to activate different skills each.

    Divine Speed, which instantly increased the speed of the young man¡¯s Awareness and shortened its transmission distance.

    King Kong: The young man¡¯s Awareness instantly lit up with golden light as his defensive power was enhanced.

    As his potential increased exponentially, the young man¡¯s Awareness level instantly jumped to Level 60 from Level 59, achieving a temporal level up.

    Silver level skill ¨C Ivory Light in Hundreds. Hundreds of lightsabers that could slice through the power of Awareness appeared instantly, shing menacingly in the air.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, I know you activated the Dimension Seal. Let me tell you this. Don¡¯t activate the Dimension Seal recklessly under uncertain circumstances, because you never know if you will be the one who needs to escape.¡±

    When he saw the rays of Ivory Light shing towards him, Zhao Yao immediately retreated backwards and activated his golden armor skill. His Awareness turned into numerous golden shields that blocked him from the attacks. However, the Ivory lightsabers shed right through each of his shields, forcing Zhao Yao to retreat backwards continuously.

    ¡°This guy knows way too many high level skills.¡±

    After all, Zhao Yao only trained his power of Awareness for a short period of time. The skills he had learnt were all from the books in Wheatley¡¯s library. He did not manage to learn any battle skills under Grayley either. At this moment, he was suppressed and subjected to an onught of attacks by his opponent.

    The young man stared at Zhao Yao who kept retreating as his Awareness was continuously broken down by his attacks. He smiled and said, ¡°Our power should satisfy you now.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s see if you can take this attack of mine first!¡±

    The next moment, in the world of Time Freeze, Zhao Yao charged towards him and raised his hand as he stabbed the young man mercilessly, stabbing him more than a hundred times with the Dragon ying Saber.

 Chapter 1058: Dragon Breakthrough

    Everything stopped in a Time Frozen world.

    Zhao Yao stood in front of the youth and shed him with the Dragon ying Saber continuously.

    The youth¡¯s hair was trimmed off inch by inch.

    Zhao Yao cut off his hair so that he would not know his attack methods.

    He activated the attacking effects of the Dragon ying Saber without stabbing his body.

    After shing for more than a hundred times, Zhao Yao extended his hand and disposed all the cut hair into the Extradimensional Belly.

    When time resumed, Zhao Yao returned to his original position and aimed his hand at the youth as he shouted, ¡°Dragon Breakthrough!¡±

    The youth was shocked. ¡°Dragon Breakthrough? What¡¯s that? Why didn¡¯t I feel the rippling of the power of awareness?¡±

    Before he had a chance to react, his vision became dark. When he awoke, he was on a hospital bed.

    With the aid of Zhao Yao¡¯s Level 60 awareness, the +12 Dragon ying Saber had Level 60 awareness verification.

    As the youth was boosted to Level 60 by BUFF, hence not all saber shes were effective so Zhao Yao shed more than a hundred times.

    ¡°Is he a new patient?¡±

    ¡°It has been a long time since we opened for business.¡±

    ¡°Finally, we have a patient.¡±

    The youth felt himself tied to the bed and he struggled in vain.

    ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± He was shocked. ¡°What kind of an attack is that?¡± Is that Dimension Travel? No, I¡¯m unable to use my superpower. Is that an illusion?¡±

    In the skill sets of awareness, there was a skill set for illusion.

    The weaker illusions skill sets were sending illusions to the target via awareness transfer. Stronger illusions skill sets meant pulling the target into the dreamscape of the Awareness Dimension.

    ¡°Am I being pulled into his dreamscape?¡± The youth analyzed his situation calmly. ¡°Why am I unable to use my skills and superpower? Dragon... Breakthrough... Is there such a skill in the Short Fur Tribe?¡±

    A group of people in white robes surrounded him and stripped him of his clothes.

    The youth sneered. ¡°Humph, trying to humiliate me? It¡¯s hrious. You¡¯re using such underhanded method to...¡±

    The youth¡¯sposure vanished.

    A white-robed person took out a bag of strange tools containing wrenches, metal wires, screwdrivers and acids.

    The youth frowned and said, ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    ¡°What am I doing?¡± The white-robed person smiled merrily. ¡°We¡¯re going to use these wrenches, metal wire, screwdrivers, acids and hemp ropes to cleanse your body. Enjoy yourself.¡±

    ¡°Cleanse my body?¡± The youth was bewildered for a short while before screaming out loud.

    St! Fresh blood sttered on the person¡¯s white robe. Lots of blood spurted out all over the ward and it looked like an abattoir.

    ¡°Stop immediately!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll kill all of you! Just you wait! I¡¯ll definitely kill all of you!¡±

    ¡°I beg you, please stop, I beg you...¡±

    After the cleansing waspleted, the eyes of the youth became dark. When he awoke, he discovered he was in the clean ward again.

    He was shed more than a hundred times and the sessful effects of the Dragon ying Saber would be more than once.

    He watched a few white-robed persons approaching him and the youth was terrified. ¡°It can¡¯t be...¡± He struggled hard. All the Awareness Dimension Travel, awareness skills, awareness strengthened body were not effective. He could only suffer through the same ordeal again.

    The youth lost count of time and the number of tortures he went through. By the time he awoke and saw the office in the material realm, he started tearing up.

    Zhao Yao, whom he hated previously, looked adorable.

    Zhao Yao shook his head and stroked his head as he consoled him and said, ¡°Don¡¯t cry. It¡¯s alright, it has ended.¡±

    The youth said with agitation, ¡°Do you know what I went through?!!¡±

    ¡°I know, I know.¡± Zhao Yao patted the youth¡¯s back and said with sympathy, ¡°The first condition for practising the Dragon Breakthrough was for me to be the first victim. To master this gray level skill, I went through much suffering.¡±

    The youth changed his view of Zhao Yao. ¡°He chose to suffer through all this? He¡¯s a strong man.¡±

    ¡°Wait, did you say it¡¯s a gray level skill?¡± The youth looked in astonishment at Zhao Yao. He was about to say that the skill was not powerful enough but he discovered his power of awareness was prohibited from usage.

    ¡°It¡¯s indeed the Short Fur Tribe¡¯s highest grey level skill as it prohibited the usage of my power of awareness.¡± The youth was in awe of Zhao Yao. ¡°Grayley taught you gray level skills? He thought very highly of you.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s only for a short while. You¡¯ll be good after a few minutes.¡± Zhao Yao patted his shoulders and said, ¡°You¡¯ve disappointed me. You¡¯re so weak, are you able to defeat those cats?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Book¡¯s mission status and he hadpleted the mission. He obtained 10 000 experience points.

    The youth was not angry as he was in awe of Zhao Yao after he was being defeated by Zhao Yao¡¯s gray level skill¡ªDragon Breakthrough.

    The difference was like elementary students showing off versus the CEO of Alibaba showing off in front of you. The effects were entirely different.

    Zhao Yao treated the youth viciously, so the youth thought Zhao Yao was one who did not care about his family and his cats.

    The youth looked at Zhao Yao and said courteously, ¡°I¡¯m not the strongest in my group and we are not weak. The important thing is that we could continue to hide the existence of Earth. Join us Zhao Yao. You¡¯re the only hope for helping us defeat the supercats.¡±

    ¡°Is he convinced? We could talk about joining.¡± Zhao Yao looked at him and said, ¡°After chatting for so long, what¡¯s your name? What¡¯s the name of your organization?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m Bai Yueguang,¡± The youth said proudly. ¡°Our organization is called Cat Revolution Society. We started from the threergest anti-cat groups in the Short Fur Tribe. Our leader and deputy leaders controlled Sage Level supercats.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes, ¡°The control you mentioned means you¡¯ve used the Awareness Distortion superpower to control three Sage level supercats?¡±

    After encountering the Cat Hunters, Zhao Yao knew that there were a lot of humans who were resisting the Short Fur Tribe, Long Fur Tribe and the Furless Tribe.

    Especially within the Short Fur Tribe, using Awareness Distortion to control humans and to take back superpowers from the humans looked like a foolproof n to control all the cat ves.

    However, humans could also make use of Awareness Distortion to control supercats.

    The Cat Revolution Society controlled the supercats and used them as weapons. They distributed the superpowers to their members.

    If the development of the Cat Revolution Society was left uncontrolled, the society could expand much more rapidly than Short Fur Tribe.

    The number of cat ves outnumbered the supercats.

    ¡°Cat Revolution Society, the name¡¯s pretty good.¡± Zhao Yao, said, ¡°After joining you, will I be controlled by you?¡±

    ¡°Of course not.¡± The youth said, ¡°Zhao Yao, during our investigation, we found that you didn¡¯t defect to the Short Fur Tribe and betray Earth and you weren¡¯t controlled. Otherwise we wouldn¡¯t spend time discussing with you. We would have captured you and remove your control.¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ll never use Awareness Distortion to control people as this is our Cat Revolution¡¯s baseline.¡± Bai Yueguang said, ¡°The Short Fur Tribe enved us using Awareness Distortion to control our will and soul. If we did the same thing, how different are we from them?

    We¡¯ll always uphold the free will of everyone. If anyone was caught using Awareness Distortion to control our own people, he would be imprisoned for a long time as it was the most serious crime in our society.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Zhao Yao already knew that they were aware he was not controlled, otherwise the probing and persuasion would be in vain.

    After hearing of the Awareness Distortion prohibition, he immediately asked, ¡°Do you have ways to resist the Awareness Distortion?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± Bai Yueguang transferred a message to Zhao Yao via his awareness. ¡°Please ept our token of sincerity. This Personality Backup is able to resist the Awareness Distortion.¡±

    Zhao Yao scanned through quickly and his eyes were filled with admiration.

    This skill could duplicate a puppet from the awareness and allow the puppet to be controlled by Awareness Distortion.

    Once the puppet was controlled by the Short Fur Tribe and if his power of awareness was strong enough, he could rid the puppet of control. If he was not powerful enough, the puppet could be destroyed using their prepared methods.

    It was equivalent to creating a human shield to absorb the damage. If one was not discovered, then he would not be controlled.

    ¡°Awesome, this is awesome.¡± The more Zhao studied the method, the more amazed he was. He could not help asking, ¡°Who invented this?¡±

    ¡°Our leader invented this. If you join us, you¡¯ll have a chance to meet him.¡±

    ¡°On the basis of this Personality Backup, I¡¯ll consider joining you.¡± Zhao Yao said cunningly, ¡°What else could you provide me?¡±

    Bai Yueguang wiped the sweat off his head and thought, ¡°He¡¯s very greedy.¡± He said, ¡°We¡¯ll use our resources to help you be an important person in the Short Fur Tribe. The war of the tribes is a good opportunity.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll join you.¡±

    Bai Yueguang was at a loss when he heard Zhao Yao agree so candidly. He looked stunned at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°You... are not worried about failing? If you¡¯re found out and captured, the entire would be a living hell.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the use of worry.¡± Zhao Yao red at him and said, ¡°What? Do you need proof? Proof of my sincerity?¡±

    ¡°No... of course not.¡± After being red at, Bai Yueguang agreed fearfully.

    Bai Yueguang was in awe of Zhao Yao after being shed by the Dragon ying Saber and attacked by ¡°Dragon Breakthrough¡±.

    He was wary of Zhao Yao and could not raise his voice. In the ensuing conversation, he was the follower and followed Zhao Yao¡¯s lead.

    Bai Yueguang understood that the conversation and cooperation with Zhao Yao was just the beginning and they had to go through events to improve their mutual trust.

    He was not in a hurry and he said to Zhao Yao, ¡°Our men would contact you on the battlefield. The details of the n would be discussedter.¡±

    ¡°Okay, we¡¯ll maintain contactter.¡± Zhao Yao looked at him and said, ¡°Well? Would you like to stay for a meal?¡±

    ¡°No... it¡¯s not necessary.¡± Looking at the man that used Dragon Breakthrough against him, Bai Yueguang declined and said, ¡°I¡¯ve matters to attend to. Let¡¯s maintain contactter.¡±

    Zhao Yao coaxed, ¡°What¡¯s the hurry? Stay for a meal and we¡¯ll have some wine to socialize.¡±

    ¡°No... it¡¯s not necessary.¡± Bai Yueguang said, ¡°I really have matters to attend to. I¡¯ll take my leave.¡±

    Seeing him leave in a hurry, Zhao Yao said, ¡°What about these apostles?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll leave them to you!¡± Bai Yueguang ran out of the Dimension Seal¡¯s boundary and vanished.

    ¡°Why is he so shy?¡± Zhao Yao shook his head and looked at the burly Russian, Ivanovic.

    Ivanovic was trained as a special forces soldier and he ascended Mt Qomngma before but now he was dripping cold sweat on his head. Though he did not understand Chinese, he saw the expressions and actions of both of them. He understood that Bai Yueguang fled in fear.

    Zhao Yao looked at the Russian guy and said, ¡°Why are you so serious?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± More sweat umted on the Russian¡¯s back. ¡°Is he going to silence me? And kill me?¡±

    Seeing the Russian bing nervous, Zhao Yao thought for a while and decided to let Caesar erase his memory before letting him go. Zhao Yao did not bother to talk to him.

    Zhao Yao opened the Dimension Portal to survey the Extradimensional Belly¡¯s situation. It was his first time letting Matcha and the rest deal with an apostle who had powers of awareness. He had high expectations of his capable supercats.

    He heard screams the moment he opened the portal. Zhao Yao said helplessly, ¡°I¡¯ve told you a few times, don¡¯t torture prisoners. Only bandits do such things. We are legitimate organization and we go ording to rules...¡±

    Matcha¡¯s voice was heard as he said, ¡°If we go with the rules for these scumbags, we don¡¯t have any work to do. Do we still have to work?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°D*mn cat, why are you raising your voice at me?¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°Officer, our brothers are working hard and you¡¯re asking us to stop? It¡¯s going to cost us our lives!!¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°I¡¯m not asking you to stop, I¡¯m asking you to follow the rules. Don¡¯t break the rules likest time. Think of the consequences.¡±

    ¡°Breaking the rules?¡± Matcha was indignant and said, ¡°We risked our lives for you while you reaped the rewards. What about us? You are ming us for being underhanded?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Do you think I¡¯m reasoning with you?¡±

    Matcha was speechless.

    ¡°I wonder who¡¯s the b*stard who had been badmouthing me on the inte.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°And made my name stink. So you¡¯ve to think of the consequences and stop breaking the rules.¡±

    In the Extradimensional Belly, Sebastian¡¯s shrill voice was heard. ¡°Zhao Yao? Is that you Zhao Yao? I surrender, I surrender. Release me immediately.¡± Matcha shoved a bundle of cat grass into his mouth and said, ¡°Shut up.¡±

    Zhao Yao consoled him and said, ¡°Don¡¯t panic. If you tell the truth, they¡¯ll be kind. If not, you¡¯ll suffer. Once you have done the requirements, they¡¯ll release you.¡±

    In the other corner of the Extradimensional Belly, Zhao Xue pointed at Olivier and said, ¡°Why is he bleeding profusely? Lucifer, take a look and lend him your ability.¡±

    Lucifer looked at Zhao Xue¡¯s shocked expression and rolled his eyes. ¡°Isn¡¯t he beaten by you?¡±

    Rolling sounds were heard and Chang Haotian¡¯s diamond head rolled out from the Dimension Portal as Zhao Yao covered his face.

    ¡°Could you be more professional? Especially Dust Ball. Every time after admission of new people, check the permits of those entering and exiting the Dimension Portal. If everyone could enter and exit at will, isn¡¯t this a public toilet?¡±

    Dust Ball said indignantly, ¡°Why don¡¯t you create a cklist after imprisoning them here. All the humans look the same to me. How do I know who is who?¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed and said, ¡°A bunch of trash. If not for me, you would have died without knowing why. I¡¯ve told you many times to be professional, especially during battles. Don¡¯t give chances to the enemy. If you¡¯re not careful with superpowers, you¡¯ll cause deaths...¡±

    He lowered his head to look at the rolling head and consoled, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, your crime¡¯s not serious. Work hard for a few more days and you¡¯ll go back home.¡±

    Bai Quan walked in with embarrassment and took away Chang Haotian¡¯s head who looked at Ivanovic and shouted, ¡°Save me! Save me!¡±

    Ivanovic looked down and did not dare to lift his head.

    Matcha looked at Chang Haotian who had been ced back in his position and shoved a cloth into his mouth.

    Dust Ball said, ¡°Why are you shoving him with a cloth? Even if he screamed until his voice¡¯s gone, it would be useless.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not professional if I don¡¯t shove him with a cloth.¡± Matcha said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear that Zhao Yao¡¯s reminding us to be professional?¡±

    Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and looked at the Dimension Portal as he shouted, ¡°Silence, silence. Don¡¯t let the noise go out. I¡¯m able to hear yourmotion over here. Soundproof the Dimension Portal.¡±

    The Russian guy became more and more nervous and cold sweat dripped profusely on his head.

    Zhao Yao looked at him and said, ¡°Don¡¯t panic. Your problem¡¯s not serious. Go in first. I¡¯ll bring you outter.¡± Zhao Yao pointed at the Dimension Portal in front.

    Ivanovic looked at the dark Dimension Portal that reeked of blood stench and shouted to Zhao Yao, ¡°Please don¡¯t silence me. I know the rules, I¡¯ll work for you. Assassination, ckmail, protection money, capturing cats, I¡¯ll do everything.¡±

    Zhao Yao was stunned. ¡°He looked like a tough guy, why is he so weak?¡± Zhao Yao was unhappy when he heard the words. ¡°I¡¯m happy that you¡¯re volunteering to work but we are a legitimatepany. We don¡¯t do those things.¡±

    Ivanovic nodded and blinked at Zhao Yao. ¡°I understand. I¡¯ve done a lot of legitimate work for KGB before.¡±

    Zhao Yao exhaled and said, ¡°Get lost, I don¡¯t need people here.¡±

    Ivanovic was dumbfounded. He saw Olivier, who was full of blood, crawling out from the Dimension Door and shouting, ¡°Let me go!¡± He was dragged in by Zhao Xue in the next instance.

    Zhao Xue smiled with embarrassment at Zhao Yao. ¡°I¡¯m treating his wounds but I identally let him run out.¡±

    After Olivier recovered from Lucifer¡¯s regeneration superpower, he wanted to escape. Lucifer took back his superpower and Olivier was beaten up by Zhao Xue again.

    Ivanovic was stunned as he looked at Olivier¡¯s deformed head and thought, ¡°Is that what you call treatment? This is manughter!¡± He looked seriously at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Boss, let me work for you.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t need your services.¡±

    ¡°Please.¡±

    ¡°I really don¡¯t need you. I¡¯ll let you goter.¡±

    ¡°No, I don¡¯t want to leave. I¡¯ll work for you!¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed and looked helplessly at Ivanovic. He had no intention for Ivanovic to work for him.

    ¡°Since you¡¯re so insistent. Okay, you¡¯ll work for me. Without pay.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t want money.¡±

    Ivanovic started working for Zhao Yao while Sebastian and the others divulged what they knew about Bai Yueguang and their memories were erased before being thrown out.

    ¡°Next...¡±

    Zhao Yao walked into the Extradimensional Belly. He carried Mango and caressed his head.

    Seeing therge eyes peering at him and listening to the rumbling sounds from Mango, Zhao Yao recalled the battle experience.

    ¡°Mango did not have power of awareness. Theoretically, his superpower is ineffective against Level 10 and above supercats.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Perdition¡¯s body and power of awareness was strengthened by Bai Yueguang using unknown methods. However, he was affected by Mango. Why is that?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked puzzled at Mango.

    Zhao Yao returned to the Short Fur Tribe to see if Grayley had returned. He wanted to ask about the war situation.

    Zhao Yao was summoned by Grayley.

    After evaluating Zhao Yao¡¯s training progress, Grayley nodded and said, ¡°Not bad. The effectiveness and radius of your power of awareness had improved. You¡¯ve put in effort. Keep it up and don¡¯t ck off.¡±

    Grayley was grave as he looked at Wheatley. ¡°Wheatley, did you ck off again? Look at you, you can¡¯t even bepared to a human. The next time I return, if you don¡¯t have progress, you¡¯ll follow me to the battlefield.¡±

    Wheatley lowered her head and shook her buttocks like a cat wagging her tail. She said softly, ¡°Oh.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and thought of a way to ask his question. ¡°Grayley, how¡¯s the war going? With a powerful supercat like you, are the superpowers of the Long Fur Tribe ineffective against you? Are you defeating them easily?¡±

    Grayleyughed and looked at Zhao Yao as he said, ¡°Guang Yu, you¡¯ve simplified the superpower battles too much. Indeed, a lot of superpowers are ineffective against me if their power of awareness are inferior to mine.

    However, if the opponent¡¯s superpower was to strengthen his body or to affect the material realm, then I¡¯ll be affected. For example, Speed eleration, Teleport, changing of environment and burning of an entire spaceship. Even if they aren¡¯t using power of awareness, their superpowers would still damage my body and be a threat to me.¡±

    Zhao Yao knew about this but he didn¡¯t think of Mango. After Grayley¡¯s reminder, he was enlightened.

    ¡°I¡¯ve always thought that Mango¡¯s superpower is specific to a target just like Elizabeth¡¯s control and illusion and his superpower is ineffective against high level supercats.¡±

    ¡°But Mango¡¯s superpower might not be specific to a target. Perhaps, he¡¯s changing the material realm? Like creating earthquakes, hurricanes, changing gravity. Those supercats with high levels are not immune to the effects of environmental change...¡±

    Grayley taught Zhao Yao for a while and left for the battlefield to reinforce the Short Fur Tribe.

    Zhao Yao brought along his question regarding Mango back to Earth.

    ¡°Maybe I could experiment a bit.¡±

    Zhao Yao decided to experiment with Mango¡¯s superpower but he did not dare to borrow from him. He got his new worker Ivanovic to experiment.

    ¡°Mango.¡± Zhao Yao caressed Mango¡¯s head and pointed at Ivanovic as he said, ¡°Lend your superpower to him. Do you understand superpower?¡±

    Mango stared wide-eyed at Zhao with his nk face.

    Zhao Yao continued to guide Mango by patting his body, pointing at his buttocks and then pointing to Ivanovic.

    Mango tilted his head, opened his mouth and became dumbfounded.

    Zhao Yao pped Mango¡¯s buttocks and said, ¡°Lend your superpower...¡± He pointed at Ivanovic and said, ¡°To him! Lend it to him, all to him, do you understand?¡±

    Mango¡¯s eyes lit up and he walked towards Ivanovic.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Did Mango understand?¡±

    Mango walked to Ivanovic¡¯s side and aimed his own buttocks at the Russian. Then he pooed at him.

    Zhao Yao sighed. ¡°This is tricky. With Mango¡¯s current state, if I contract him, it¡¯s going to be risky. I¡¯m afraid the side effects of the superpower may get out of hand. I¡¯ve to lend it out for testing...¡±

    He lowered his head to look at Mango who was rubbing his feet. ¡°With his low intelligence, it¡¯s not easy for him to understandplex instructions.¡±

    Matcha, who was licking his feet, said, ¡°Try asking Roly Poly as he had trained Mango before. Apparently, he made Mango activate his superpower.¡±

    ¡°Oh, yes, Roly Poly...¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°He was badly affected by the setback. Is he having autism?¡±

    A few minutester, Zhao Yao arrived at a cat dwelling on Cat Ind. He peered inside and saw Roly Poly sprawl on the ground with his head lowered.

    ¡°Roly Poly?¡±

    There was no response.

    Zhao Yao poked Roly Poly but there was no reaction.

    ¡°I¡¯m treating you to fried chicken Roly Poly.¡±

    There was still no response

    ¡°Hey, you created trouble when I was not around, do you think you could y dead and get away with it?¡±

    Zhao Yao flipped Roly Poly over and saw both his eyes were like dark holes as though he had stopped thinkingpletely.

    In a deep end of Roly Poly¡¯s awareness, Roly Polyid motionless on the ground inplete darkness.

    Project X walked around him as he coaxed, ¡°Enough Roly Poly, when are you stopping your decadence?¡±

    Roly Poly said, ¡°I¡¯m a piece of shit, so what if I¡¯m decadent?¡±

    Project X said, ¡°Don¡¯t be so hard on yourself! Didn¡¯t that dog lick you clean? It¡¯s cleaner than bathing.¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s mind recounted that when he returned to the Extradimensional Belly, Elizabeth, Diana, Lionhead and the rest looked at him as though he was a piece of trash.

    ¡°After I came back, no cats are willing to lick me. I better die and reincarnate again.¡±

    Project X said, ¡°Have you forgotten our dreams? Didn¡¯t we agreed to rule Zhao Yao and the world?¡± Project X lifted Roly Poly up and shook him up. ¡°Look here, Zhao Yao¡¯s here to find you! Get up quickly and go lick Zhao Yao! Think of your dreams!¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s body shook while he kept quiet.

    Project X said angrily, ¡°If you¡¯re thinking of death, then I¡¯ll take over your body!¡±

    Roly Poly turned his head away and said, ¡°This body¡¯s a trash. Go and use it.¡±

    Project X was infuriated. ¡°You think I don¡¯t dare? I¡¯ll take over your body right now!¡±

    Seeing Roly Poly going back to sleep, Project screamed, ¡°Going into autism again?¡±

    In the material realm, Zhao Yao shook Roly Poly¡¯s body and said, ¡°Hey, when are you waking up? Who doesn¡¯t have embarrassing experiences? It¡¯s only being excreted out like feces. If you don¡¯t wake up, I won¡¯t let you manage the Royal Police Cat Guards. Perhaps, I should let Caesar erase your memories...¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s eyes glimmered abruptly. He rolled and stood up.

    Zhao Yao looked at Roly Poly and said, ¡°You¡¯re good?¡±

    Roly Poly did not answer. He looked excitedly at his own paws and feet.

    Zhao Yao stood up and said, ¡°Start working if you¡¯re awake. Let Mango lend his superpower to other people.¡±

    Roly Poly¡¯s body trembled and he nodded at Zhao Yao earnestly. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go now.¡±

    No matter how Roly Poly coached Mango, Mango was unable to lend his superpower to other people.

    Zhao Yao shook his head and decided to let it go for now.

    ¡°Perhaps next time I could contract Mango?¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head again and returned to the Closers World.

    In the next few days, Zhao Yao returned to Short Fur Tribe twice daily. For the remaining time, he stayed on Earth and logged in Dust Ball¡¯s ount so that she could evolve and upgrade her levels. He alsopleted many missions to umte experience points.

    He discovered that he could obtain missions in the Closers World by helping others. Zhao Yao was killing two birds with one stone and it would even be better if he worked harder.

    The entire Closers World was abuzz with rumours that the game master was going around torturing yers.

    Zhao Yao was also practising the Personality Backup from the Cat Revolution Society to prevent himself from being controlled by superior supercats.

    After a week or so, Dust Ball managed to reach Level 25. The level cap mission waspleted and Zhao Yao¡¯s cats could continue to evolve and upgrade their levels.

    After some thoughts, Zhao Yao decided to log in Matcha¡¯s ount for the next evolution upgrade. He already had Level 60 awareness and the Dragon ying Saber for his attacks. In the short term, he did not expect his supercats to catch up with him.

    For defense andbat assistance, Matcha¡¯s Time Freeze was bing more useful. Every level upgrade allowed him to increase speed in the Time Freeze and it tranted to longer duration. In addition, the cooling down period of the Time Distortion was also reduced.

    ¡°Only if I¡¯m standing would there be outputs. I¡¯m going to work all the way and I¡¯ll even depend on my equipment for outputs.¡±

    Zhao discovered that the evolution progress was much slower than when Matcha¡¯s Level was below 25.

    ¡°Oh? What¡¯s happening? Why is the evolution progress slowing down?¡±

    Zhao Yao studied his BOOK and discovered a new message after the level cap was removed.

    After Level 25, the requirements for level upgrades were much higher.

    For normal people, they did not have power of awareness and their mental energy were absorbed via the Closers World. However, there were lots of contaminants in the mental energy and they reduced the efficiency of level upgrades.

    In order to increase the efficiency after Level 25, the Closers World had to be an awareness country. The more supercats with power of awareness and the higher the power of awareness, the faster the speed of level upgrades.

    ¡°If I get the Short Fur Tribe¡¯s supercats to y in the Closers World, the speed of level upgrades would be very fast.¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought, ¡°There are only Giggle, Tom and the rest and a few of my supercats with power of awareness in the Closers World so the progress is slow.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve to think of ways to capture more alien cats to y.¡±

    Zhao Yao spent another three days on Earth to make progress in the Closers World before returning to the Short Fur Tribe. He felt something was different.

    Every cat ve, every supercat looked like they were in a hurry as though there was an invisible pressure bearing down on them.

    Grayley summoned Zhao Yao and he saw the luminous exmation mark above Grayley¡¯s head. He knew he was going to earn experience points.

    ¡°We arecking superior warriors. Guang Yu, you¡¯ve progressed a lot during this time and you¡¯ve borrowed my superpower. It¡¯s time for you to put your skills to test on the battlefield.¡±

    Grayley pointed at the star system on the map and said, ¡°The strength of thisbat zone is not high, you¡¯ll try your hand in this area.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up. The chance for capturing cats was here.

    Mission: Capture the cats

    Mission Objective: Capture supercats in the huge star universe. Your target is to be the strongest mystical cat trainer! Capture the strongest supercats! (The mission duration willst until the end of three major wars)

    Reward: Each captured cat is worth 10000 experience points and given without any dy.

    Penalty: None.

    Zhao Yao was excited to see the new mission.

    He required lots of experience points. The supercats below Level 10 required experience points. BOOK required experience points for level upgrades. The Diamond Hall, Improvement Stone, Improvement Hammer and the rubies... all needed experience points.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes almost turned green with greed when he saw the mission.

    Grayley felt the temperature drop and looked puzzled at Zhao Yao as he said, ¡°Why is the temperature lower?¡±

    ¡°Is that so?¡± Zhao Yaoughed. ¡°When am I going over? Are there any Long Fur Tribe¡¯s supercats in the battlefield?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know. The battle on this was not intense and their main forces were deployed elsewhere. Even if there were main forces, the quantity would be minimal.¡± Grayley said, ¡°Prepare to enter the City of Dreams. There would be people exining the battle ns to you.¡±

    The City of Dreams was Grayley¡¯s awareness country and a personal dreamscape that he created in the Awareness Dimension. Nobody knew howrge the super dreamscape was.

    This was one of the Short Fur Tribe¡¯s location for engagement in the war.

    ¡°Oh, yes.¡± Grayley pressed on Zhao Yao¡¯s chest and transferred his superpower to Zhao Yao. He wanted to help Zhao Yao extend the duration of his superpower.

    Zhao Yao used the Cat Prince Costume to receive Grayley¡¯s superpower, however it felt different. The superpower was deathly still and calm.

    Grayley said, ¡°The superpower that I endowed contains my power of awareness. It would remain dormant until you activate it. This willst you a longer time.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and silently erased the newly borrowed superpower on the Cat Prince Costume. He was relieved when Grayley did not show any reaction and was not thinking of keeping him on surveince.

    Half an hourter, Zhao Yao traveled using his awareness and arrived at the City of Dreams. With Grayley¡¯s lead, they arrived at a meeting room.

    Seeing the few cat ves who were waiting in the room, Zhao Yao surveyed the numbers above their head. They were of Level 30 to Level 40. This battle would not be intense.

    The cat ves nodded courteously at Zhao Yao¡¯s appearance . Arge man said, ¡°This gentleman is Lord Guang Yu. We did not expect Lord Grayley¡¯s cat ve to aid us inbat. I¡¯m called ck Goat and I hope I could learn from you. I¡¯ll exin thebat situation to you.¡±

    With his identity as Grayley¡¯s cat ve, all the cat ves were polite towards him. He did not know and was not bothered by what they thought.

    After a few cat ves exined thebat situation, he had a better understanding of the operation.

    This was a habitable called Essex. Most parts of the were covered by Gobi, snow mountains and deserts. A few million humans and tens of supercats used to inhabit the and it was a territory of the Short Fur Tribe.

    With the ongoing war, the supercats and cat ves were withdrawn to Short Fur Tribe and the remaining humans went into hiding.

    The entire Essex was upied by the Long Fur Tribe who constructed bases, spaceports on the surface and in outer space. It was a strategic location in this sector.

    The objective of the Short Fur Tribe was to eliminate the Long Fur Tribe from this to alleviate the pressure at the main battlefield.

    Simr battles were prevalent in the Delin Star Cluster which was taken charge of by Grayley.

    ck Goat said, ¡°We¡¯re evenly matched with the enemies so we¡¯re unable to eliminate them. With Guang Yu¡¯s help, we¡¯ll be able to clear this of the Long Fur Tribe.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. I can¡¯t wait to finish our objective.¡±

    ck Goat was worried that it was Zhao Yao¡¯s first battle and Zhao Yao would be careless, so he reminded Zhao Yao again before they traveled in the Awareness Dimension and arrived at a strange location.

    Zhao Yao looked at the corridor ahead and stepped on the soft ground. He asked curiously, ¡°Where are we?¡±

    ¡°This is the interior of the Comet Cat.¡± ck Goat exined, ¡°The Comet Cats of the Furless Tribe are the secondrgest cats. Thergest cats are the Huge Cat Gods.

    Everyone had the capability to do Space Fold that could travel overrge distances in space. Their evolution was due to their need for ster travel. Though their sizes were huge and could take massive damage, their attacks were not strong.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded. This was a spaceship in the form of a cat. As he was in the stomach, he was unable to determine the cat¡¯s level.

    Zhao Yao arrived at themand center on ck Goat¡¯s lead.

    Themanding officers were a Level 44 ck cat, a Level 42 furless cat and a Level 35 white cat.

    The Level 44 ck cat was called Convex. He looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°You are Lord Grayley¡¯s cat ve, Guang Yu? You came at the right time. You don¡¯t have to worry about other matters. You will watch the strongest human and themanding cat of our enemy with Shadowfax. Don¡¯t let them escape.¡±

    A burly Furless Tribe¡¯s cat ve nodded at Zhao Yao. He was the Shadowfax that Convex mentioned.

    Seeing the Level 58 indicator above Shadowfax, Zhao Yao knew that both of them were the two strongest warriors in their units. Indeed, the battle here was not very intense.

    In the main battlefield that Grayley was in charge of, there would be tens to hundreds of cat ves above Level 60. In thatbat situation, Zhao Yao would feel he was in danger.

    After giving his orders to Zhao Yao, Convex shouted, ¡°All units attack!¡±

    He emanated his power of awareness to all directions.

    In the gctic space, twelve huge cats with bodies that looked like hills, opened their mouths and shouted silently as they umted energy.

    Thirty minutester, after umtion of energy, they shed and initiated Space Fold.

    ...

    In the outer space of Essex, A Long Fur Tribe¡¯s spaceport floated silently around the like a satellite.

    Tens of space cruisers were docked at the ball-shaped spaceport as they went about their daily maintenance routines.

    White rays shed abruptly and ten Comet Cats exited from Space Fold. Like ten ferocious tigers, they pounced on the spaceport.

    Bam!

    A huge cat paw attacked the surface of the Star Habour and broke the sma shield. Then, it was apanied by a force that was as strong as the mountains and seas and crushed the superalloy on the inside. This helped Comet Cat¡¯s five ws w deep into the Star Habour.

    A siren sounded through the entire Star Habour and countless lights lit up. Fighter jets shot up into the sky and shot at the Comet Cats fiercely.

    Roar! The giant cat roared then he shed his paws in the air and crushed a fighter jet.

    As the fighter jets appeared, all the humans in armor rushed out of Star Habour. They charged towards Comet Cats. They were the armor troop in the Long Fur Tribe, they used advanced technology to support their powers.

    A armored human leaped into the sky and the armor on him started glistening with golden beams. His powers were enhanced by the nuclear engine and the atoms in his palm started to collide vigorously. It was burning and turned into white mes. He threw it at the Comet Cat.

    The Comet Cat that was hit yelled. His outeryer, that could withstand harsh environments in aerospace travel, started to burn. It was falling off and soon there was a huge hole.

    If the attacks continued, the Comet Cats would soon be many bodies floating in space.

    The dozen of cats yelled together and countless Furless Tribe members were spat out from their mouths.

    Cat ves from the Furless Tribe had rming physical qualities as they started learning variousbat skills since the moment they were born.

    They were covered in an exoskeleton and the bones that grew from their hands and legs vibrated vigorously, giving off a white glow.

    They were a menacing troop developed by the Furless Tribe. They used their extraordinary physical capabilities and the exosketelon armor to fight after the Comet Catsnded.

    They couldn¡¯t feel pain and did not fear death. They had strong healing powers, resistance towards toxins and vitality. The high frequency bone that extended out from their arms and legs could pierce through most materials in the universe. They could move up to a few thousand meters per second and could battle for up to an hour. They were nightmares for their enemies.

    The menacing troop jumped onto the ground the moment they appeared. They started charging along the w marks on the decks and entered Star Habour faster than the speed of sound. Apanied by the metal chaps flying around, the metal walls crashed down one by one.

    An armored soldier from the Star Habour shot sma mes at the menacing troop. However, the menacing troop managed to dodge past it easily as they crashed into the armored soldiers. Their high frequency bones pierced through their armor and cut off the soldiers heads.

    Meanwhile, in the stomach of the giant cat, the cat ve of the short fur tribe activated their powers and their awareness left their bodies. Their awareness attacked the Long Fur Tribe.

    There was confusion in the eyes of the pilot in the fighter jet and he started to fire at his own troops.

    The entire Star Habour fighter jet army was in chaos as theynded or returned to the base. They activated the spiritual repulsion device and started to defend themselves against the Short Fur Tribe.

    The cat ve of the Short Fur Tribe was also known as Superspace troop, during war being called a Superspace troop was better than Cat ve troop.

    Before the Long Fur Tribe invented the spiritual repulsion device, the Superspace troop were countless Long Fur Tribe¡¯s nightmare. They were the reason why the Long Fur Tribe could not attack.

    However, now that they have a means of defense, the Superspace troop were not able to go far. They could only follow behind the menacing troop and proceed forward.

    The Furless Tribe¡¯s menacing troop tore apart the deck and was concentrated on destroying the spiritual repulsion device. Their battle with the Long Fur Tribe was like a giant meat blender.

    As the war on Star Habour got more heated, in the void of space, there were two giant cats waiting patiently. They did not charge up to join the fight.

    Convex was sharing vision with Comet Cat as they watched the battlefield. ¡°Send two to deal with their battleship.¡±

    The battleships outside Star Habour were slowly activating and was about to the attack theet cats on Star Habour.

    Twoet cat leaped across hundreds of kilometers instantly.

    Theseet cats could carry out interster jumps if they stored power. There was no need to store power if the distance was just a few thousand kilometers.

    Aet cat leaped onto a battleship and bit down on it. Then, the cat spat out the metal and entered the battleship.

    In a few minutes, the interior of the battleship had turned into hell and there were countless explosions lighting up the sky.

    The otheret cat, who had just leapt onto the battleship, was engulfed by sma beams, electroma cannons andser cannons.

    With a shriek, he opened his mouth and the menacing soldier was spat out like a electromaic cannon and flew towards the neighboring battleships.

    The entire battlefield was full of extreme fighting. Zhao Yao, who was receiving information on the war, was frowning.

    The Long Fur Tribe, Short Fur Tribe, and Furless Tribe were divided into two battles.

    One was the battle of the base units, which was the battleship, armored soldiers and superpower troops from Long Fur Tribe fighting against the Superspace troop from Short Fur Tribe and theet cat and menacing troop from Furless Tribe.

    The Short Fur Tribe and Furless Tribe were stronger and they could deal with the numbers of soldiers from Long Fur Tribe.

    Both the cloned army and all the mass produced high tech weapons were the reasons why the Long Fur Tribe was able to fight against two.

    Except for the base units that were fighting, the rest were the top apostles and supercats fighting.

    Apostles who were strong enough or the supercats had the power to destroy a battleship and crush Star Habour. It could change the oue of the battle drastically.

    For such individuals, they were normally very powerful and were hard to kill with conventional weapons. They were the nightmare of the normal soldiers.

    Of course, if there were enough ordinary soldiers, it would be difficult even for Sage and a Huge Cat God to fight them.

    Zhao Yao looked at the situation on the battlefield. Although the Long Fur Tribe had suffered heavy losses, they had an rming achievement. They had destroyed a majority of the spiritual repulsion device sand were gradually gaining the upper hand with the Short Fur Tribe.

    Then, Lv44 Convex said, ¡°ShadowFax and Guang Yu prepare. That guy should being out.¡±

    Not long after Convex finished his sentence, there was a red shadow that shed out from Essex. A zing light spread out behind the person and turned into blood red wings.

    The high temperature sma turned into a whip that was a few thousand meters long. He extended his palm, whipped the sma towards aet cat and injected arge amount of sma to destroy the interior of theet cat.

    Meanwhile, countless bright spots surfaced from the blood wings as they shot out thousands of high energy rays, killing theet cat.

    Amidst the violent explosion and burning, theet cats who were hitid on the floor in shrieks as Star Habour trembled.

    Zhao Yao looked at theet cat that was badly injured.

    ¡°What is this kind of destructive power. He is so much stronger than me... Grayley asked me to join such battles, is he trying to kill me?¡¯

    Although he was nervous, Zhao Yao did not intend to retreat.

    His opponent¡¯s powers and high tech armor had great destructive power and attack range. They were stronger than any enemy Zhao Yao had ever met.

    Although his damage and attack range was notparable, if he ambushed him or attacked in a group, Zhao Yao felt that he stood a chance.

    Especially since he could use the Furless Tribe¡¯s apostles to shield himself. It made his job easier.

    Upon seeing that the otheret cats were dying, Comet Cat instructed immediately, ¡°The injured should retreat. Do not fight Blood God directly. Let Shadowfax deal with him.¡±

    Following Convex¡¯s orders, theet cat that was injured leaped away. They floated in the air a few thousand kilometers away and tried to heal their injuries.

    Blood God¡¯s attack had almost killed them. For the next few months, they would not be able to participate in battle.

    Blood God did not chase after theet cat that he defeated, instead he looked at the otheret cats and wanted to defeat the otheret cats on the Star Habour. After clearing Star Habour, he would consider pursuing the injured cat.

    Theet cat that was around started leaping and wanted to retreat.

    In themand room, Convex said, ¡°Blood God is here. Shadowfax go and distract him. Guang Yu find a chance to attack him. It is best if we can capture him and brainwash him. If we really can¡¯t, then kill him.¡±

    Shadowfax was excited, the muscles on his body squirmed and then there were white spikes piercing out from under his skin. They covered his entire skin.

    ¡°I shall take my leave.¡± Shadowfax looked at Zhao Yao and smiled. ¡°All you have to do is to support me. Be careful, don¡¯t die or Lord Grayley may me us for it.¡±

    Then, the space beside Shadowfax started to distort and then he appeared on the battlefield.

    Lv58 Shadowfax could use his physical abilities to use Space Fold. Although he could not travel as far as the Comet Cats, on the battlefield, it was enough.

    He shed a dozen of times and appeared in front of Blood God. He shed towards Blood God¡¯s head menacingly.

    ¡°Blood God! I will beat you till your head explodes!¡±

    It didn¡¯t matter if he was going to win or lose. Shadowfax yelled to boost morale.

    However, Blood God was calm. Being on this for a few weeks, he had fought against Shadowfax hundreds of times. They were old enemies. He knew Shadowfax¡¯s skills well.

    ¡°He is a human punch bag. He is neither as fashionable or as strong. If it wasn¡¯t that he could run fast, I would have killed him.¡±

    ¡°Watch how I¡¯ll y with you this time.¡±

    The wings behind Blood God vibrated and turned into a violent ray that shot towards Shadowfax. It was a series of bombs decelerating.

    The power of Blood God was very simple. It was to turn his blood into high temperature sma. If his blood was turned into sma with the ratio of one to one, then his power would not be so terrifying.

    However, after reaching Lv56, Blood God¡¯s awareness energy was strengthened and every drop of blood could turn into ake sized amount of sma.

    No matter what they were used for, whether to power up gear or for attack, his powers were rming.

    Theyers of sma engulfed Shadowfax. Shadowfax shed a few times and appeared in front of Blood God. He punched hard and hit Blood God¡¯s head.

    Bam! The red figure fell to the ground and was dragged through several hundred meters of armor tes. When, he charged out again, he held the long sma whip and whipped it towards Shadowfax. He turned the surroundings into a scorching hell and the temperature of the surface of thend started increasing. The metal tes started to soften and melt...

    Zhao Yao started to observed both of them in the battle and saw that the red and white figure brought about rming destruction. Large scaled shock waves were produced and there wererge areas ame, explosions and earthquakes on Star Habour.

    ¡°These two fellows, if there were no soldiers around and they were allowed to attack freely, they would be able to destroy Star Habour on their own. The special effects are much better than mine.¡±

    Convex looked at Zhao Yao in concern. He asked, ¡°How is it Guang Yu? Are you feelimg confident?¡±

    Zhao Yao rubbed his chin and said, ¡°Let me watch for awhile.¡±

    Convex was unsatisfied. ¡°For how long? Every moment, there are people dying on Star Habour. No matter if it is our cat ves or their cat ves, every death is a loss. They are all worth money!¡±

    Due to the presence of Short Fur Tribe, in the tribe wars, the Short Fur Tribe and Furless Tribe would capture the enemy¡¯s cat ves and distort their awareness to work for them.

    Every time they fought, they aimed to capture and not kill.

    To Convex¡¯s dissatisfaction, Zhao Yao just replied slowly, ¡°There is no hurry. Let me observe for awhile.¡±

    Convex was angry. ¡°How long do you want to observe? We have fought the army on Essex more than a hundred times. We are very clear on their capabilities. We have a slight advantage with the regr soldiers. If we go all out, even if we win, we will suffer heavy losses.

    If Blood God plus the regr soldiers were to be defeated, we would be able to win and capturerge amounts of cat ves...¡± Convex spoke and was enamored by his imagination. ¡°There are so many cat ves. If we train them well, they can be sold at a good price.¡±

    ¡°Whatever you have just said, I already know that...¡± Zhao Yao was still staring at the red figure on the battlefield. ¡°I will attack when it is time.¡±

    Convex¡¯s eyes glistened coldly. He was furious. ¡°This fellow! Is he backing off?¡±

    Upon remembering that it may be his first time encountering a gxy war and seeing such a disastrous battlefield, he realized that it was normal to be afraid. Convex could still remember the first time he was on the battlefield. Hemanded the war while peeing and wasmended by Grayley to be calm and courageous.

    Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Shadowfax and Blood God¡¯s fight was getting more intense. Both were attacking at maximum strength and every punch and kick from Shadowfax seem to tear Star Habour apart. It turned theyers of metal tes into space waste and even the gear on Blood God was damaged.

    Blood God kept running away from Shadowfax, while he was increasing the distance between them, the sma was also increasing as the battle went on. The increase in temperature and the sma that was everywhere made it harder and harder for Shadowfax. Evey punch and charged he made would cause huge damage to himself.

    Shadowfax was not in good mood. He understood that he was on par with Blood God. If they continued to fight, even if there was an end to the fight, both of them would be badly injured.

    As the fight got more aggressive and Zhao Yao did not attack, Shadowfax got unhappier. What happened to attacking together? The more he thought about it, the more upset he got and he wanted to retreat.

    Then, Zhao Yao shed out and appeared on the battlefield through Dimension Travel.

    The drastic change in air pressure and the sudden spike in temperature destroyed Zhao Yao¡¯s body. However, he looked at Blood God, pointed his palm at Blood God and yelled. ¡°Dragon Breakthrough!¡±

    Blood God¡¯s armor was watching the entire battlefield¡¯s situation and they notified Blood God the moment Zhao Yao appeared.

    ¡°Dimension Travel? Short Fur Tribe¡¯s cat ve?¡± Blood God frowned and wanted to kill Zhao Yao instinctively. He attacked Zhao Yao with his sma.

    ¡°Finally here.¡± Shadowfax heaved a sigh of relief and wanted to cooperate with Zhao Yao to kill Blood God.

    However, at the next moment, as Zhao Yao yelled Dragon Breakthrough, the entire world fell silent.

    ¡°Fortunately I have Time Freeze or my attire would be burnt into ashes if I fought with you guys.¡±

    Zhao Yao was under Blood God and then he leaped onto Blood God¡¯s shoulders. He looked at the broken armor and nodded.

    The reason why he waited for so long was to wait for Blood God¡¯s armor to be a bit broken. Afterall, he had never fought with such enemies before. It would be awkward if he used Time Freeze and realized that he couldn¡¯t break through the defense.

    Looking at the armor on him, Zhao Yao rubbed his chin. His Cat Prince Costume had two powers now. It was Time Freeze and Grayley¡¯s Lv60 power.

    He used the Cat Prince Costume to activate Time Freeze, then he changed it to Extradimensional Belly.

    He waved his hand and a dimension portal opened beside him.

    The Dimension Portal¡¯s shape started to change with his control and the door turned into a long strip. Zhao Yao controlled it carefully and pierced it Blood God¡¯s chest.

    Zhao Yao was squatting on top of his head and then he sawed open Blood God¡¯s shadow using the Dimension Portal. He thought to himself. ¡°Not bad. Looks like I was too worried, Dimension Portal is able to cut open their armor.¡±

    He cut open the armor and then Zhao Yao spat out the Dragon ying Saber. He changed back to Time Freeze and attached Cat Prince Costume¡¯s Lv60 awareness to the Dragon ying Saber. He stabbed Blood God a few hundred times.

    Zhao Yao did not intend to expose his destructive powers in the material world and did not n to use the Lv60 awareness to fight him for very long.

    He nned to use the Dragon ying Saber disguised as awareness skill to attack and finish the battle quickly.

    Hence, when time started flowing again, he had returned to his original position and shouted at Shadowfax. ¡°He has been controlled by me, hit him hard.¡±

    Shadowfax looked at Blood God, who was frozen on the spot, he tried to attack then he pounced onto Blood God like a mad dog. He grabbed Blood God¡¯s physical body and attacked vigorously.

    Upon thinking of his experience just now, Shadowfax felt great after punching Blood God.

    With several explosions huge pieces of metal pieces were sted off Blood God and Blood God was in a daze with no means to retaliate.

    After Shadowless defeated Blood God, he charged into Star Habour with Unparalleled and wipped out all the spiritual repulsion devices with the menacing troop.

    As the spiritual repulsion device were wiped out, the Short Fur Tribe¡¯s superspace troop started attacking. Soon, there wererge amounts of Long Fur Tribe being controlled and the oue of the battle was fixed.

    After Zhao Yao controlled Blood God, he disappeared on the battle field and he was jumping around in the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s bodies in awareness to look for traces of their intelligent cat.

    ...

    At the back of Star Habour, on an escape spaceship. There four supercats stumbling towards the cockpit.

    The long fured white cat was running and got pissed. ¡°Blood God is such a useless fellow! He was defeated so easily! It is all his fault!¡±

    ¡°When we get back, we should write a report together. We will pin the me on him.¡±

    The other old cat shouted. ¡°After we go back, we have to get another batch of cat ves that is stronger. Then, we wille back and teach these cats a lesson.¡±

    After they boarded the spaceship, they elerated and entered interster jump. They escaped the battlefield without the others knowing.

    ¡°Phew!¡± The white cat heaved a sigh of relief and hey downfortably on the mat in the cockpit. He stretched his limbs and thought, ¡°Now, we are safe. Those prehistoric cats that are living in stone age didn¡¯t even catch a sight of our escape.¡±

    The other small cat was worried. ¡°What do we do now? We lost. We will be punished when we get back.¡±

    The Old cat said with experience, ¡°What is there to be afraid of? Worsee to worse, we can beg for a living. As long as we are not dead, there will be a day where we will seed. First, we have to agree that we will push all the me to Blood God. The problem cannot be with us.¡±

    ¡°The achievements of a cat ve are the owner¡¯s achievements. The mistakes of the owner are also the cat ve¡¯s mistake.¡±

    When the few cats were chatting and boasting, Zhao Yao stuck his head out from the shadows.

    ¡°10 000, 20 000, 30 000, 40 000. This is 40 000 multiplied by 2 experience points.¡±

    He observed the surroundings carefully and when he confirm that there was nothing wrong, he activated Time Freeze.

    As time froze and started flowing again, the world returned to normal.

    Bam Bam Bam Bam. There four loud thumps and then, the four cats that were chatting were unconscious on the floor. There were lying on th floor with their tails still twitching.

    Then, Zhao Yao opened the Dimension Portal and shouted, ¡°Come out and get the goods.¡±

    Ares brought along F¨±jin, Rakshasa and the rest of the cats to bring the alien cats back into the dimension portal.

    He looked at the four cat¡¯s average level was 30 to 40, he reminded. ¡°Send them to the entertainment house that I have prepared. Remember to give them game consoles, Diana will look after them in Closers World.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Ares looked at Zhao Yao and he was confused. He couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Zhao Yao, you came specially to a few thousand light years away to catch these four cats, just to send them to y a game?¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and looked at the task panel on the Book. ¡°If they fight less and y more games, the universe will be peaceful. Dragging all the alien cats to y this game is the only way to save the universe.¡±

    Ares: ¡°...¡± Ares felt that there was something wrong with this thinking.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao was looking at the experience points he obtained from these four cats 40 000*2. He was overjoyed.

    He turned on his phone. ¡°Doll, there is an alien spaceship here. If you have time,e over and study it. See if you can learn from their technology. Also, study their mechanics...¡±

    Doll: ¡°I said, I would not help you ...¡±

    Zhao Yao: ¡°Hahaha. You must be willing to work hard then you will win. How do you know the results if you don¡¯t try? Maybe humanoids are great for battle.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s short disappearance on the battlefield did not catch anyone¡¯s attention. When he returned to themand room, the battle had entered the final stage.

    Convex looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Guang Yu, You have done a great job! I will report the situation to Lord.¡±

    Shadowfax also smiled at Zhao Yao. In his heart he was thinking if he should ask Zhao Yao to fight with him. One could control, one could attack. It was better than the past where he had to chase the opponent around.

    When the cats were celebrating the victory, bad news came.

    The Delin Star Cluster that Grayley was in charged of had lost. The Short Fur Tribe and Furless Tribe suffered heavy losses and they had to concentrate ontheir defense. The Essex star that Zhao Yao¡¯s side had just conquered had to be given up.

    Zhao Yao returned to the Short Fur Tribe¡¯s Delin Star Cluster military headquarters, the Green star Akanid.

    He looked up and saw that the sky was filled with hundreds ofet cats guarding the atmosphere.

    Some of themnded on the star and started to devour minerals to heal their wounds.

    At the same time, they were building a steel stronghold that the Furless Tribe cat ves were entering and exiting.

    Looking at the endless military camp, Zhao Yao estimated that there are at least several million troops.

    The Furless Tribe¡¯s apostles stayed in Grayley¡¯s City of Dreams most of the time. They seldom came to the material world.

    He folded his arms and tried to recall thetest intel.

    On the battle on Delin Star Cluster, as Grayley was injured, Short Fur Tribe and Furless tribe was disadvantaged immediately.

    ¡°Grayley was badly injured? How?¡± Zhao Yao turned to look at Wheatley in confusion.

    Grayley was Lv72. He was so strong he could oppress a spiritual repulsion device and spoil it.

    If such a strong cat wanted to leave through the awareness dimension, Zhao Yao could not think of anything that could stop him.

    So he found Wheatley, as Wheatley was Grayley¡¯s family member, she should know some information.

    Wheatley was squatting on the floor and said unhappily, ¡°I heard that it a cat ve from the Long Fur Tribe did it. I heard that he was very powerful.¡±

    Zhao Yao was surprised. ¡°Cat ve? The cat ve was that powerful?¡± In his impression, the strongest of the three tribes should be cats.

    Wheatley looked at Zhao Yao and said pitifully, ¡°Guang Yu, tell me a story.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and said, ¡°Yeah, I shall tell you the story of how it is impossible for the HuLuWa to be so cute...¡±

    Wheatley was listening to Zhao Yao¡¯s story attentively, then she suddenly patted her head and said, ¡°Stroke my head!¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Zhao Yao answered, ¡°I thought you didn¡¯t let people pat you?¡±

    ¡°Today I am unhappy. Pat me.¡±

    Zhao Yao tugged the corners of his mouth and ced his hand on Wheatley¡¯s head. He stroked Wheatley from head to toe and Wheatley was lying downfortably.

    ¡°Sofortable,¡± Wheatley said. ¡°Although I can touch it myself now that I¡¯m human, it is morefortable for others to stroke me.¡±

    Wheatley¡¯s eyes narrowed as she smiled happily. She swung her head sideways and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, can you lick me? I haven¡¯t been able to ever since I became human!¡±¡®

    ¡°What?¡± Zhao Yao was stunned as he looked at Wheatley. He was in a great dilemma.

    ¡°Lick her! I would love to lick her! If it were up to me, I would lick her till her waist breaks!¡±

    ¡°You cannot do this Zhao Yao! You are a celebrity! How can you do such a thing!¡±

    ¡°Why can¡¯t he do it? Isn¡¯t it normal for a guy to lick a girl?¡±

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t make sense at all! Only cats lick each other! How can humans do that?¡±

    ¡°Ahhhhh, don¡¯t belittle humans.¡±

    ¡°Shut up.¡± Zhao Yao turned around and looked at the Dimension Portal behind him. He asked Matcha and Dust Ball. ¡°Who asked you guys toe and watch?¡±

    Matcha and Dust Ball was frightened and dropped a huge amount of fur. Matcha mastered his courage and said, ¡°Ares want us to tell you that the cats have been allocated properly.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded. ¡°Ask Diana to watch after them, she is not allowed to go offline.¡±

    He closed the Dimension Portal and looked at Wheatley. Then, Red Sun appeared beside Wheatley and looked at them in bewilderment. ¡°Lord Wheatley, Lord Fei Fei wants to see you.¡±

    ¡°Oh, then Guang Yu you can continue to tell me the story tomorrow.¡±

    Upon watching Wheatley leave, Zhao Yao rubbed his chin and started pondering about the intel she had provided. ¡°A Long Fur Tribe¡¯s apostle injured Grayley? If it was an apostle, then there can be a second and third... However, the Short Fur Tribe also has a secret weapon like the Source n. So who knows what will happen.¡±

    Zhao Yao walked along the grasnd and then, a women cat ve came over. Her expression was cold and she looked at Zhao Yao with scrutiny.

    Zhao Yao looked at her abs and said, ¡°Furless Tribe? What is the matter?¡±

    ¡°Bai Yueguang asked me to contact you.¡± She looked around and said, ¡°Follow me.¡±

    Zhao Yao was wary. ¡°It is from the Cat Revolution Society?¡±

    He followed the girl and they started to run faster and faster after they left the crowd. Both of their physical abilities were very strong. When they started to speed up, they ran faster than the speed of sound and brought about a ear piercing sound to the canyon with no one in it.

    The woman ran up to a wall and stretched out her hand to m against it.

    Zhao Yao was watching the woman from behind. The woman was about his height. Her muscles were not huge but they were defined. She looked healthy and fit.

    He looked at her head.

    ¡°Lv55, that is counted as moderate strength.¡±

    Soon, the woman had created a cave in the rocks and then after Zhao Yao entered the hole with her. She copse the entrance of the cave.

    Looking at the sealed hole, the women answered. ¡°It is safer like this. My name is Moonflow. Are you Zhao Yao? The new guy recruited by Bai Yueguang?¡±

    Upon hearing that she called out his real name, Zhao Yao nodded. ¡°What is it?¡±

    The women in the looked at Zhao Yao and was listening to his breathing and heartbeat. She said slowly, ¡°In this battle, the Long Fur Tribe brought a spiritual repulsion device to counter the Short Fur Tribe. They have been having significant progress with the cloning technique and their men are a lot stronger than before.

    Especially the person that injured Grayley. Her name is Cmity.

    She looks like a little girl that is about ten years old. But, in battle she can use up to 5 different types of forbidden powers. She is the product of Long Fur Tribe¡¯stest discoveries.

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Forbidden powers?¡±

    Moonflow exined, ¡°Long Fur Tribe has many powers and every cat randomly awakens with differently powers. Some are repeated. However, it is said that they have awakened a total of 138 000 types of powers.

    Among them, there are ten of which are the most dangerous, most terrifying powers. They are known as the forbidden powers. In this generation, there are five cats with forbidden powers.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Are you guys thinking of dealing with the girl?¡± If she could injure Grayley that badly and had forbidden powers, then he did not want to fight her now. He wanted to wait till his cats were of a higher level, upgrade his equipment, then deal with her.

    After hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s questions, Moonflow shook her head. ¡°Don¡¯t interrupt and listen to me.¡±

    ¡°Now, Long Fur Tribe has a huge advantage. The biggest problem is that they may still have many tricks up their sleeve. ording to the intel from the people in Long Fur Tribe, they are already preparing for another round of war.

    Although Short Fur Tribe and Furless Tribe have ns like Source n, we do not see much hope in that.¡±

    Moonflow said, ¡°In the three tribes, for any of them to have an advantage for too long or even be the winner is something we do not wish to see. It is the same this time. We want to reduce their advantage.¡±

    ¡°We have decided to unite with ourrades in Long Fur Tribe. They will be in charge of providing the Intel and will be in charge of ambushing the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s cat ve or cats.¡±

    ¡°You are Grayley¡¯s apostle. After the war you will certainly be used. We will give you Intel on the Long Fur Tribe so that you can attack them easily. It will help you improve your standing in front of Grayley too.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up. This was something good. It could help himplete his mission of capturing cats more efficiently.

    Zhao Yao asked hurriedly. ¡°When will it start?¡±

    Moonflow said, ¡°I don¡¯t know. But, it should be soon. At most it will take a dozen more days and Long Fur Tribe will start to attack.¡±

    Then, she punched the exit of the cospe. ¡°We will approach you when it is time. In the meantime, try and gain Grayley¡¯s trust. It would be better to learn a few more skills.¡±

    Zhao Yao watched Moonflow leave the cave then he checked that there were no one around before he opened the Dimension Portal and went back.

    Instead of waiting for the war to start in the alien, he would rathere back and gain more experience points. He could strengthen skills with that.

    Upon entering the Dimension Portal, Zhao Yao saw Matcha lying in front of the door. He rolled to Zhao Yao¡¯s feet when he saw Zhao Yao enter and used his paw to touch his head. ¡°Stroke! Zhao Yao stroke my head.¡±

    ¡°Get lost.¡± He kicked Matcha aside and in his mind he was already thinking of how to use the stored experience points.

    Matcha crawled up unhappily and said to Old Cat that was walking past him. ¡°Zhao Yao is disregarding me more and more. He should remember where he got Time Freeze from.¡±

    Old Cat was typing on his phone. ¡°Sir George and Fish Ball ask us toe over. The meeting is about to start.¡±

    Matcha snorted andined while walking. ¡°What is there to meet about? I have the most amount of cats under me and I have the most territory. I will definitely be the boss!¡±

    Matcha and Uncle Egg were jumping around as they returned to Cat School¡¯s rooftop. Fish Ball, Latte, Cannon, Lightning, and several supercats were already there. In fact, half of the cats there weren¡¯t even Zhao Yao¡¯s cats.

    Matcha nodded when he saw the cats and said, ¡°Everyone, I think everyone knows the reason for asking you guys toe down today. You guys are all leaders in your respective sses and some of you are even the leaders of the level. Next week, our school will be choosing the Five Bars.¡±

    Fish Ball siad, ¡°I have gathered you all here as I wish for all of you to support Matcha to be the next Five Bars. What is your opinion?¡±

    ¡°Fish Ball you were thest Five Bars. Now that you are graduating, who the next one is will not affect you,¡± Lightning said hesitantly. ¡°I have heard that Ares wants that position too. I am afraid that if we choose Matcha, they will take revenge on us.¡±

    Cannon said, ¡°The cats under Ares are good fighters and they do not show mercy. I heard that the entire fourth grade is supporting him.

    I heard thatst week, a teacher asked them to stand as a punishment. Then, they bit the teacher¡¯s bicycle tires till it punctured. Who has heard of anyone using teeth to bite through tires?¡±

    Old Cat said impatiently. ¡°What era do they think it is? Do they think they are tigers?

    Now, we are choosing Five Bars, we are not filming an animal world documentary. Let me tell you, Ares is so menacing that if he is elected none of us will have it easy.

    What Brother Matcha is like I am sure I don¡¯t need to do further borations. If anyone in trouble, Brother Matcha is the first one to contribute money and effort. Is there any incident whereby Brother Matcha wasn¡¯t the first to stand up and help?¡±

    He red at Cannon and continued, ¡°Cannon did you forget, thest time your parents were called because you didn¡¯tplete your homework, who helped you?¡±

    ¡°Old Cat, we know that brotherhood is important but it is not essential,¡± Cheese said. ¡°I heard that Dust Ball wants to run for this too. She wants to run her business legitimately and she earns the most amount of money. Many people want to follow her.¡±

    ¡°What is so good about money?¡± Old Cat choked. ¡°If the rich will be the bosses then why do they need us? They can justpare who has the most amount of money.¡±

    ¡°I choose Roly Poly.¡± Latte raised his paw. ¡°Roly Poly is capable. He works for the people and he said that if he were to be elected, he will request that the teacher will not assign homework that will take more than an hour. Then, there will not be holiday homework too.¡±

    Matcha smiled and said, ¡°No holiday homework? You think it is that easy? It has been a rule for many years. You believe such lies? Then, I will say that I want to bomb the school too.¡±

    Matcha stared at Latte and talked to him telepathically. ¡®Are you trying to make my life difficult?¡¯

    ¡®What is the point of electing for this? Aren¡¯t you still a student? The teacher can chase you out the position in a sentence. Let Roly Poly go up and all we have to is to encourage him.¡¯ Latte replied.

    Matcha asked, ¡®If it is useless then why did you run for ss representative?¡¯

    Latte said, ¡®I have nowhere to copy my homework. I have no choice but to run for the ss representative. Everyone can copy homework and cheat during exams happily. There is nothing wrong with that. Why must you run for this?¡¯

    ¡®How can you not grab the opportunity to be in power.¡¯ Matcha said, ¡®Anyways, just support me to be the Five Bars this term then we will support you to be the Five Bars for the next term. By then, not only copying homework, you can even change your results.¡¯

    Latte was shocked. ¡®Five Bars can alter results?!¡¯

    Matcha. ¡®Of course.¡¯

    Latte shouted, ¡°I support Matcha for the Five Bars. Matcha has a concern for everyone, has great capabilities and has the most territory. If he is Five Bars, we will all lead an easier life.¡±

    Then, Latte raised his paw.

    Old Cat raised his paw too and typed. ¡°I also support Brother Matcha to be Five Bars. I am not doing this for benefits. It is because Brother Matcha is fair and is reliable. If we were to need money, he would be the first. If we were need help, he would also be the first. If I do not choose him, who else can I choose?¡±

    Fish Ball raised his paws and said, ¡°I vote for Matcha too. Honestly, the position of Five Bars, I have been in it, Matcha can be in it, all of you can take turns to be.

    Then, the time after school ends will be decided by us.¡±

    After awhile, the cats raised up their paws one by one.

    At the entrance of the rooftop, Roly Poly... or rather Project X was listening was listening to the cats talk then he passed through the walls and came to the principle¡¯s office.

    Milk tea was in the middle of the office looking very obedient. In front of him were Cat King of the North and a dozen of other cats. They were the authorities of the school.

    Milk Tea walked up and gave the cats the Cat Wondend VIP diamond card that he had prepared.

    ¡°Thank you all for supporting me to be Five Bars.¡±

    Cat King of the North kept the diamond card and said to Milk Tea. ¡°Milk Tea, we are not supporting you because of the things you gave.

    It is just Ares is too much, Matcha has Zhao Yao as back up and doesn¡¯t like to follow the rules. Don¡¯t talk about Dust Ball, if she brings the goods into school, I cannot answer to my authorities.

    We chose you because you are the most obedient. We need bnce in the school. If today the fifth grader beat the fourth grader up, tomorrow the first graders beat the second graders or the day after tomorrow, the third graders refuse to go for lesson. Then, all of us no longer need to study. After you be Five Bars, just maintain peace. As long as nothing happens, then all is well.¡±

    Project X listened to the cats and shook his head. ¡®Roly Poly, looks like it is not easy to fulfill your dream of bing Five bars.¡¯

    Then, he passed through the way to an alley outside the school. Kun Wu was waiting for him there and he asked, ¡°Are you Roly Poly or Project X now?¡±

    Project X was stunned by Kunwu¡¯s question. He was about to activate his superpower as he felt a strong desire to kill her.

    He suppressed his urge and smiled at her. ¡°Kunwu, what nonsense is that?¡±

    Kunwu looked at him and said, ¡°Don¡¯t lie, Project X! I¡¯ve observed you for a long time. You should understand that we share a mysterious link.¡±

    Project X was silent as numerous thoughts shed through his mind on how to counter Kunwu¡¯s questions. He smiled embarrassed and said, ¡°Nutcase, I can¡¯t be bothered with you. I¡¯m leaving...¡±

    Seeing Project X leave in a hurry, Kunwu tried to bite his head. Project X shed and swung his paw at her while Kunwu swiped her paw at him.

    The two paws collided and both cats felt a cold shiver and a sense of strange familiarity.

    ¡°This cat has a special link with me.¡± Project X thought, ¡°Why? I¡¯m the only alien cat that was deployed on Earth.¡±

    He felt a strong attractive forceing from her body.

    Project X and Kunwu wanted to activate their superpowers to repulse the attractive forces from their bodies.

    When their superpowers were activated, the attractive forces became stronger and their bodies stuck together. Abruptly, they became a single cat.

    Project X said, ¡°What the heck!¡±

    Kunwu said, ¡°Project X! What are you doing?¡±

    Roly Poly said, ¡°Hehe, first I¡¯m being excreted then I¡¯ve be a shemale cat. Oh Heavens, you are tooling me.¡±

    The new cat was a fusion of Roly Poly and Kunwu. The body was full of light red fur with long slender build. The eyes were a pair of luminous diamonds.

    Three voices quarreled within the body and the sea of awareness was in turbulence.

    Kunwu said, ¡°Ah! Project X! Get out of my body!¡±

    Roly Poly said, ¡°Hehe, get out both of you!¡±

    Project X said, ¡°Stop squabbling and calm down! This might not be a bad thing.¡±

    When they heard footsteps behind, they activated their superpowers subconsciously and vanished into thin air. Momentster, they appeared in the Jianghai¡¯s rural area.

    After a series of squabbles and half an hourter, the body split into two.

    Project X looked at Kunwu and he contemted. ¡°I think I¡¯m beginning to understand. We are part of a whole. Is there an ident during my descent on Earth?¡±

    Kunwu looked astonished at her body and shouted, ¡°I¡¯m originally a tomcat?¡±

    ¡°No, the real me had no gender.¡± Project X analyzed and said, ¡°Male and female are choices that we made.¡±

    Seeing Project X¡¯s greedy eyes, Kunwu backed up and said, ¡°What are you doing? I¡¯ll never fuse my body with yours.¡± After that, she vanished into thin air.

    Project X smiled and did not stop her as he was feeling his body. During the body fusion, he had obtained Kunwu¡¯s superpower DNA.

    Project X said, ¡°I feel as though... I¡¯m moreplete.¡±

    Roly Poly said, ¡°I feel you are getting more perverted.¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao calcted the time and the current experience points. He decided to use all the experience points at the end of the month.

    ¡°There¡¯s still a week to the end of the month and the full-scale war shouldn¡¯t have started yet.

    ¡°I¡¯ll make use of the time to do more missions and earn more experience points. Then I¡¯ll spend them at the end of the month and increase my power.¡±

    Zhao Yao entered the Closers World and began his energy umtion for evolution andpleting of missions.

    The remaining time was spent logging into the Closers World,pleting missions and showing his attendance asionally at the Short Fur Tribe.

    With new alien cats ying in the Closers World, Zhao Yao felt that Matcha¡¯s level upgrades were faster and Matcha would be leveling up in three weeks.

    Time passed quickly in Zhao Yao¡¯s busy schedule and it was the day at the end of the month.

    In the early morning, Zhao Yao looked at the end of month ounting.

    Under the help of X2 Exp Card, the profits of the Cat Wondend Street provided Zhao Yao with nearly 100000 experience points.

    He also obtained 620 lottery draws.

    As Zhao Yao had been working hard during this period of time, he looked at the panel and BOOK: Level 8 (347317/100000)

    Zhao Yao rubbed his hands excitedly as this was the first time he umted that much experience points. When he used all the experience points at one go, he would be exhrated.

    He had to n how to allocate the experience points.

    He looked at Sphynx cat and Lucifier who were still below Level 10 and calcted how much experience points were required for them to reach Level 10.

    ¡°That would require 300000 experience points for them to reach Level 10.¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought, ¡°I¡¯ll have 40000 remaining experience points for exchanging diamonds. That would be four diamonds.¡±

    ¡°Both of them would level up sooner orter and there are 620 lottery draws where experience points could be earned.¡±

    ¡°With the current efficiency of the Closers World, I could upgrade them rapidly to Level 25. That¡¯s another round of power upgrade.¡±

    After pondering, Zhao Yao awarded the experience points to Lucifer and Sphynx cat.

    Sphynx cat upgraded from Level 7 to Level 10 and Lucifer from Level 8 to Level 10.

    Zhao Yao looked at both cat¡¯s skill tree and pondered about the selection. He had two skill points from his previous mission reward.

    After browsing through their skill tree, Zhao Yao closed his eyes andpared the pros and cons of their skills.

    Half an hourter, he opened his eyes as he had made the decision.

    ¡°First, Lucifier...¡±

    Zhao Yao selected Level 9 Lucifer¡¯s Resilient Growth: For every 10% damage that the body suffers, the regeneration is doubled.

    Though the name was not pleasing, it was a useful skill. No matter how fast Zhao Yao¡¯s regeneration was, after being injured, his regeneration rate would increase 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 times...

    From Lucifer¡¯s skill tree, Zhao Yao expended two skill points to select two Level 10 skills that made him excited. He had to choose both of them.

    One of the skills was Blood Revival. Even if one¡¯s body was mortally damaged, a drop of his own blood could revive him.

    The other skill was Death Immunity. Within n (Level Count) hours, when faced with the same damage, the regeneration rate would increase by n% (Level Count).

    When these two skillsplemented the Resilient Growth, it was a perfect match and one was like a perpetual machine. The person became an invincible machine that instilled hopelessness in the enemy.

    The more Zhao Yao looked at the two skills, the more he liked them. He did not know how he would die with these two skills.

    The skillsplemented his cautious style ofbat.

    Zhao Yao covered his chest and told himself repeatedly, ¡°Don¡¯t becent, don¡¯t becent. There are a lot of powerful alien cats. You¡¯ve to be humble.¡±

    After calming down, Zhao Yao looked at Sphynx cat¡¯ skill tree and chose the skills ording to his previous n.

    The first skill was the Level 7 Body Toughness that increased Sphynx cat¡¯s training effectiveness. The next skill was the Level 8 Blood Modification which allowed training to modify the blood such that ingesting food would make the body tougher.

    Zhao Yao used thest skill point to select two Level 10 skills.

    One of the skill was Steel Body which allowed the body to be passively trained. The harsher the environment, the better the training effect.

    The other skill was Superpower Resistance (Advanced): With training, the body¡¯s resistance against superpower bes stronger. Not only would the body have superpower resistance, it would also reflect the superpower. The highest probability is n (Level Count) * 1%.

    ¡°Awesome, the two skills of Sphynx cat are awesome.¡±

    Zhao Yao was very pleased with the two Level 10 skills, which allowed improving body constitution whileying down and increasing one¡¯s superpower resistance.

    ¡°A stronger power of awareness would have stronger superpower resistance. Together with Sphynx cat¡¯s superpower resistance, it would be like a magical immunity.¡±

    Zhao Yao was pleased and he wanted to test out this ability. As for the side effect of Sphynx cat¡¯s superpower which was homosexuality, Zhao Yao hade up with a solution.

    That was to use Grayley¡¯s Level 60 awareness to dampen the side effect.

    Sphynx cat was only Level 10. Even if he reached Level 25, the Level 60 awareness would be able to resist his superpower¡¯s side effect.

    He nodded to himself as he suppressed his thought of testing the new skills. He looked at the lottery draws.

    ¡°62 times of ten lottery draws. It¡¯ll be another round of power upgrade.¡±

    As a regr customer of the lottery draws, Zhao Yao was familiar with the lottery draws. He used up all the lottery draws in one shot.

    Zhao Yao obtained more than 10000 experience points. Together with the previous experience points, the BOOK had reached BOOK: Level 8 (55817/100000)

    He also obtained 77 Improvement Stones.

    The Cat Emperor Armor Fragments attained (139/240).

    And there were endless supply of Spicy Cat Strips.

    Zhao Yao looked at the 77 Improvement Stones and he had a strong desire to use them.

    ¡°Improvement? Or wait? umte more?¡±

    Zhao Yao pondered for a while. He wanted to improve the +12 Dragon ying Saber and the +7 Cat Prince Costume.

    Both were +7 equipment. If he continued improvement, there was a chance it would be broken. He needed to have the Improvement Hammer, which cost ten diamonds, to improve the equipment without damaging the equipment.

    Zhao Yao looked at his current diamond count.

    Afterpleting missions daily, Zhao Yao had umted 31 diamonds.

    If he exchanged 50000 experience for five diamonds, he would have 36 diamonds.

    ¡°With three Improvement Hammers, I can improve three times...¡±

    ¡°D*mn, what¡¯s the use of having that much Improvement Stones?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°The Cat Prince Costume required improvement as it would be able to absorb superpower of above Level 60. He had to improve the costume a few times to gain new effects. Even then the effect might not lift the level cap.¡±

    ¡°As for the Dragon ying Saber, every improvement increases its power.¡±

    ¡°The next few battles could be fraught with danger when encountering high level apostles and supercats. I¡¯mcking in strong attack options...¡±

    Zhao Yao decided to improve the Dragon ying Saber.

    He did not exchange his experience points for the diamonds. He exchanged 30 diamonds for three Improvement Hammers and pped them on the saber.

    The first one failed...

    The second one failed...

    The third one was a sess.

    Looking at the +13 Dragon ying Saber, Zhao Yao heaved in relief. The difficulty level of the verification was increased to 13 times. This meant that the Dragon ying Saber was more powerful.

    Zhao Yao informed Lucifer and Sphynx cat about their new superpowers. He wanted to test out the new superpowers.

    His body vanished into the thin air and reappeared in the deep end of the Pacific Ocean.

    ¡°Shall I test the regeneration superpower?¡±

    Zhao Yao pondered and opened the Dimension Portal. He ced two of his hands and his leg on it so that they would be cut off.

    Zhao Yao tested the upgraded Ultra Rapid Regeneration with pleasure. He felt the immense power and came to know his upper limit.

    ¡°For normal physical attacks, if they aren¡¯t able to kill me with one blow then I won¡¯t be killed.¡±

    ¡°Even if I¡¯m killed, there¡¯s Revival and Time Freeze.¡±

    ¡°Hei, hei, hei, I¡¯m getting tougher.¡±

    ¡°Next, the training superpower...¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at his regenerated body. Then he jumped into the sea and swam along the ocean bed, leaving a trail of huge waves behind him.

    Feeling the great pressure from the ocean, Zhao Yao felt ufortable from head to toe.

    Soon, the difort diminished gradually and vanished.

    He dived several thousand meters into the ocean. Then he felt the pressure mounting and his body making strange changes.

    A series of warm sensations streamed out from his body. Under the immense pressure of the ocean, his body was getting stronger but the progress was slower than active training.

    ¡°The harsher the environment, the greater the training effect on the body...¡±

    Zhao Yao got Lucifer to lend the Ultra Rapid Regeneration to the Cat Prince Costume.

    The +7 Cat Prince Costume could switch among three superpowers. Zhao Yao had stored Time Freeze, Grayley¡¯s Level 60 superpower and Ultra Rapid Regeneration.

    He jumped into the Awareness Dimension and arrived at the Earth¡¯s atmosphere and a near vacuum in outer space.

    He switched his superpower to Sphynx cat¡¯s training superpower and switched the Cat Prince Costume to Ultra Rapid Regeneration.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Ultra Rapid Regenerationbined with training superpower in a harsh condition. Is the effect going to be good?¡±

    In the space vacuum, Zhao Yao felt his body losing heat rapidly as he was surrounded and damaged by cold streams.

    The air within him dispersed rapidly into the dark space.

    Even if he was very strong, he was not immune to the damage by space vacuum. The loss of heat and air could not be avoided. His body was bing a frozen dry corpse but the process was much slower than a normal person.

    Zhao Yao felt his body resisting the damage with the training superpower. His body was adapting to the harsh environment.

    When the body cells died inrge numbers due to loss of heat and oxygen, the Ultra Rapid Regeneration would help rece the dead cells. Zhao Yao was living on the border of death and revival continuously.

    The efficiency of the training superpower was elerated due to the stimtion of the space vacuum and it toughened the body to reduce the damage to the body. The structure of the body was changed to adapt to the space environment.

    With the help of Steel Body superpower, Zhao Yao felt his body bing stronger.

    When the training and regeneration superpowersplemented each other, Zhao Yao was able to strengthen his body while floating in space.

    ¡°It must be a superpower bug to have the body strengthening in adverse condition.¡± Zhao Yao thought, ¡°I can only conclude that superpower is illogical.¡±

    Zhao Yao immersed himself in magma and went deep underground. He found the Mariana Trench and proceeded to Antarctica and the North Pole... Finally, he trained for half an hour.

    Zhao Yao was testing the effectiveness of various harsh conditions andpared the effects of Steel Body.

    Aspared to his training for half an hour, the body strengthening was higher while he was immersed in the Mariana Trench, the scalding magma and the space vacuum.

    ¡°Not bad, this is upgrading while lying down. I don¡¯t have to stay at such distant locations. There are no cell phone signals.¡±

    ¡°Perhaps man-made environment could be harsher than nature.¡±

    After testing his new superpowers, Zhao Yao pondered before returning to the Extradimensional Belly and Cat Ind. He wanted to prepare an environment for him to log into Closers World.

    ¡°Doll, help me prepare a smart steel-smelting furnace with easy adjustments to temperature. The lowest temperature is 500¡ãC and the highest temperature is unlimited. The higher the better...¡±

    Numerous feline robots appeared on Cat Ind. They carried materials and constructed a steel-smelting furnace.

    A group of supercats surrounded and watched the construction.

    ¡°Ah! Why are we changing our decoration again?¡±

    ¡°How could we ce such a big steel-smelting furnace? The entire setup of the Cat Ind¡¯s disrupted!¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao¡¯s a troublemaker! This is frustrating. I would like to go up and sniff the furnace.¡±

    ¡°Quickly inform Elizabeth! We¡¯re constructing a furnace! Let her take a look!¡±

    Most of the supercats were unhappy over the construction but they were curious about the furnace.

    With Zhao Yao around, the gathered supercats increased in number but nobody dared to obstruct the work.

    The feline robots looked feeble and dispirited.

    Zhao Yao frowned as he felt the productivity was low.

    He asked, ¡°How¡¯s it going Doll? Are you in a bad mood?¡±

    Doll lifted his head and looked at Zhao Yao, then lowered his head and said, ¡°Nothing.¡±

    ¡°I can see you¡¯re troubled.¡± Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Your troubles are written on your forehead.¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed and walked to Doll as he said, ¡°Doll, is something troubling you? Tell me, I¡¯ll advise you.¡±

    Zhao Yao noticed the hesitation in Doll¡¯s eyes and said, ¡°Don¡¯t you know that nobody in this world knows cats better than me?¡±

    He looked at the supercats surrounding the furnace and beckoned at Dust Ball toe forward. ¡°Dust Ball,e over.¡±

    Dust Ball came out unhappily and said telepathically, ¡°Zhao Yao! I¡¯ve told you many times. Show me some respect in front of the cats. Don¡¯t yell at me. How do I gain the respect of the cats?¡±

    Zhao Yao ignored Dust Ball and said to Doll, ¡°Look at Dust Ball. She used to be a stray cat. After my support, she had be a sessful and well-known catmint businesswoman. Aren¡¯t you also voted the National top ten sensational person of the year, Dust Ball?¡±

    Zhao Yao caressed Dust Ball¡¯s head and said, ¡°Very good, you may go back.¡±

    Doll thought Zhao Yao was good with cats and pondered a while before saying, ¡°Kun Wu¡¯s giving me the cold shoulder and she¡¯s always with Roly Poly.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Always with Roly Poly? So Kun Wu¡¯s liking him?¡±

    ¡°Impossible!¡± Doll said, ¡°Kun Wu said she dislikes fat cats!¡±

    ¡°Why are you worrying?¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°What¡¯s the use of worrying? If you like her, go rub her, touch her or ride her! If she¡¯s notplying, use your superpower to subdue her. A cat¡¯s life is too short for you to develop deep feelings.¡±

    Doll was shocked. ¡°Ah?¡±

    Zhao Yao took out his cell phone and showed Doll several cat films. ¡°You¡¯re not a human. Do you know that cats naturally like to mate forcefully? Take a look at how these cats are that straightforward...¡±

    Doll looked at the wailing female cats in the video and said doubtfully, ¡°No Zhao Yao, why are you able to show these cat films at an instance...¡±

    ¡°Because I¡¯ve to show you cats at an instance.¡± Zhao Yao pointed at the video and said, ¡°Take a look and learn. The love of cats starts from a forceful mating.

    Cats have to be direct and mating forcefully is your nature. Follow your instincts and be the most liberal cat in Jianghai.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s words were like lightning in Doll¡¯s mind and the processes in his body spiked to 100%.

    ¡°So that¡¯s how it works!¡± Doll shouted, ¡°I understand.¡±

    ¡°Do your work once you understand.¡± Zhao Yao pointed at the furnace and said, ¡°Finish the furnace quickly and you can do whatever you want.¡±

    In the boiling molten metal, Zhao Yao¡¯s body burnt, melted and regenerated.

    Zhao Yaoid blissfully in the furnace while half-submerged in the molten metal.

    ¡°Hmm... Why didn¡¯t I think of this before...¡± Zhao Yao soaked in the molten metal and felt his body regenerating rapidly. Waves of pleasure exploded in all his cells.

    His body was not immune to the few thousand degrees molten metal.

    With the melting of his flesh and bone, his regeneration rate increased rapidly until an equilibrium of damage and regeneration was reached. He was able to enjoy the process without dying.

    The Steel Body superpower was highly stimted to a level not reached before in the harsh condition. Zhao Yao felt his body strengthening at a rate ten times higher than normal training.

    ¡°This is an environment that would kill me. If not for the Ultra Rapid Regeneration, I would be dead in two to three minutes.¡±

    Zhao Yao twisted his neck and exhaled withfort. He felt as though he could lie there for a lifetime.

    ¡°Strengthening my body while lying down, this is what I call real training.¡±

    Lucifer was standing on a tform outside the furnace and looked enviously at Zhao Yao. He felt the waves of pleasure just by standing in front of the hot steam.

    ¡°Humans are more innovative when ites to this. At most, I¡¯ll only scald my XX but it can¡¯t bepared to Zhao Yao¡¯s scale.¡±

    Lucifer asked enthusiastically, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! Could Ie in for a bath?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°Your body¡¯s too small and constitution¡¯s inferior. You¡¯ll die before you could regenerate.¡±

    Lucifer was disappointed.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Body size and constitution are crucial factors in Ultra Rapid Regeneration. If I¡¯m ten, hundred or a thousand meters tall andplemented by Ultra Rapid Regeneration, mybat power would be boosted by a few hundred to a few thousand times.¡±

    ¡°In spacebat, body size is important. Large sizes will fully exploit the advantage of strong constitution and regeneration.¡±

    ¡°With regards to sizes, Lion Head¡¯s superpower is sizable...¡±

    He recounted the first time he met Lion Head in the Jianghai University.

    ¡°The superpower that can change size was not useful previously. But now, with super constitution and Ultra Rapid Regeneration, the huge size would increasebat power and would prove useful in spacebat.¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought about the merits of the different superpowers. ¡°For the BOOK¡¯s supercats, I had upgraded them to a stage where they can¡¯t use experience points for leveling up. I¡¯ve to consider upgrading BOOK and contracting a new cat. I may consider Lion Head.¡±

    ¡°Cheese¡¯s flying, Rice Cake¡¯s quaking, Roly Poly¡¯s fusion with Project X, Doll¡¯s mechanization...¡± Zhao Yao found it difficult to make his decision. ¡°There are too many superpowers to choose from.¡±

    ¡°Besides upgrading cats and BOOK, improvement of equipment requires arge amount of experience points...¡±

    ¡°Hmm, experience points... experience points... experience points... experience points are not enough for me.¡±

    There were many superpowers and equipment awaiting experience points for improvement. Zhao Yao wished for more experience points.

    ¡°I look forward to capturing more alien cats in theing war.¡±

    Every captured alien cat was worth 20000 experience points. This was the mission with the fastest way of earning experience points.

    The captured supercats could be imprisoned in the Closers World and help umte evolution progress for his supercats.

    All these made Zhao Yao eager for theing war.

    Zhao Yao could onlyplete missions to level up for the time being.

    While his body was in the furnace, Zhao Yao closed his eyes and his awareness slipped into the Closers World.

    He entered the Closers World to umte progress for the evolution of Sphynx cat and Lucifer to Level 25.

    With one billion yers on Closers World, it would not be long before they reached Level 25.¡±

    ¡°At the same time, I could earn some experience points...¡±

    Zhao Yao flew rapidly in Closers World and he noticed a group of training supercats. However, there were no exmation marks on their heads.

    ¡°They don¡¯t need help? They¡¯re getting cold.¡±

    Zhao Yao waved his hands and meteors descended and crashed into them.

    Zhao Yao saw the shing golden exmation marks above their heads.

    ¡°That¡¯s the way. When you encounter problems, ask for help. Don¡¯t keep everything to yourself.¡±

    Hended in front of the toppled supercats and asked warmly, ¡°Greetings, these are new revival coins. Do you want some?¡±

    For the next few days, Zhao Yao multi-tasked by soaking his body in the furnace and logging his supercats¡¯ ount into Closers World while he worked overtime in the Closers World to gain experience points.

    ...

    A week passed.

    Zhao Yao upgraded Sphynx cat and Lucifer to Level 25.

    ¡°Lucifer¡¯s regeneration rate is greatly increased.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Sphynx cat¡¯s skill and thought happily, ¡°Superpower Resistance is now at Level 25, so there¡¯s 25% chance of having resistance and a small chance of reflection.¡±

    25% was not a low chance. Moreover with Sphynx cat¡¯s leveling up, the chance would continue to rise. This was the most useful superpower for Zhao Yao to upgrade.¡±

    After all the supercats were upgraded to Level 25, Zhao Yao chose to upgrade Sphynx cat.

    Zhao Yao got some time to return to the Short Fur Tribe¡¯s location. He intended to update his intelligence and then return back to Earth.

    Not long after his arrival, he discovered Moonflow from the Cat Revolution Society walking to him.

    ¡°Get ready, it¡¯s starting.¡±

    Moonflow nodded at Zhao Yao and left.

    Zhao Yao was shocked. ¡°Is it starting?¡±

    He did not leave immediately. Instead, he entered Grayley¡¯s Awareness Country, the City of Dreams and waited for news of the battlefield.

    Two hourster, Grayley¡¯s call rang in the entire Awareness Country and in the minds of numerous apostles and supercats in the material realm.

    Themanding supercats reacted and the cat ves started their operations.

    Millions of superpower warriors moved like aplex machines as they prepared and assembled for war.

    The Delin Star Cluster units of the Short Fur and Furless Tribe gathered and prepared for war. Countless warriors were assigned to different units before boarding the Comet Cats. Like locusts, they space folded into the gxy.

    Zhao Yao, Fei Fei, Grayley and the rest stayed on a gigantic cat which was muchrger than the Comet Cat.

    This gigantic cat, who was from the Furless Tribe, came to support Grayley. His size was only second to the White Short Star and he was called Invincible Body, who was also a neutron star.

    Before entering the body of the neutron star, Zhao Yao observed at a distance, the Level 75 indicator above his head.

    ¡°Grayley¡¯s Level 72 while the neutron star¡¯s Level 75. If they cooperate together, the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s units in the Delin Star Cluster would face immeasurable pressure.¡± Zhao Yao thought.

    He was in arge space in the neutron body and there were Level 55 and above cat ves from the Furless and Short Fur Tribe. The total numbered more than three hundred.

    In front of them were Grayley¡¯s supercat unit which were made up of twenty supercats. The weakest of them was at least Level 60 and above.

    Zhao Yao observed that there were more supercats from Furless Tribe and they were strong and with long breaths. They looked very much like alien life forms rather than ordinary cats.

    Zhao Yao could feel that these supercats were adapt in strengthening their bodies in many ways.

    Only Grayley and two cats beside him looked normal. Zhao Yao guessed that they were supercats from Short Fur Tribe.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°I don¡¯t know the reason why there were more Level 60 to Level 70 supercats from Furless Tribe.¡±

    Aspared to the other millions of cat ve units, the supercats and cat ves in the neutron star were the most powerful force in this war.

    Grayley surveyed the units at his feet and remained silent. He maintained awareness with the neutron star to n theing battle. The detailed battle ns would not be divulged to the cat ves as they would only receive orders from Grayley.

    Zhao Yao frowned. ¡°Such arge scalebat, it felt like a decisive war. It¡¯s troublesome as it won¡¯t be easy for me to capture lots of cats.¡±

    The Comet Cats flew towards thes in the Delin Star Cluster like a swarm of locusts.

    After the previousbat, the power of the Short Fur Tribe in Delin Star Cluster declined as most of thes were upied by the Long Fur Tribe. The Short Fur Tribe was in a disadvantaged position.

    As the Long Fur Tribe had to protectrge numbers ofs and the stargates which could transfer units over long distances required long period of construction, the units were dispersed thinly.

    The Comet Cats took this opportunity to attack lones using superior numbers.

    Within 12 hours, more than twentys were taken over by the Short Fur Tribe. The space cruisers of the Long Fur Tribe maneuvered to support every battlefield.

    Grayley stood in the middle of the neutron star and used his awareness tomunicate in the City of Dreams, which was connected to countless supercats and apostles from different units.

    Coting the battlefield intelligence, Grayley frowned. ¡°Something¡¯s amiss. It¡¯s too easy.¡±

    The voice of neutron star was heard. ¡°The b*stards of the Long Fur Tribe probably guessed where we are going.¡±

    Grayley smiled coldly and said, ¡°Forget it. We are probing along the way. Let¡¯s continue.¡±

    It was a cat and mouse game. Under the lead of Grayley, the Comet Cats devastated each of the Long Fur Tribe¡¯ss like a thunderstorm.

    The reinforcement units of the Long Fur Tribe streamed continuously from the stargates in an attempt to destroy the Comet Cats.

    The energy of the Comet Cats were not unlimited and a Space Fold required massive amounts of energy. With every escape and attack, the period between each Space Fold increased in duration. They were easily caught up by the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s units.

    The Long Fur Tribe had the intention to destroy the Comet Cats and deployed the space cruisers via the stargates to pursue Grayley relentlessly.

    Grayley received intelligence from other supercats in the City of Dreams. He said softly, ¡°The b*stards from Long Fur Tribe hade out in full force.¡±

    The neutron star smiled and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    The gigantic body of the neutron star moved slowy before going into a Space Fold.

    He went into a hundred light years¡¯ Space Fold. The time required for power storage aspared to the Comet Cats was minute.

    After several Space Folds, the gigantic body appeared before a steel.

    ¡°We¡¯ve arrived.¡± Grayley looked solemnly at the huge metal which was constructed by the Long Fur Tribe using advanced technology. It was a huge war weapon that was also used as the headquarters for the Long Fur Tribe in the Delin Star Cluster.¡±

    ¡°Chaos Stronghold was the finest war weapon constructed using the best technology, the rarest resources and the most precious superpowers.¡± Grayley exined to everyone, ¡°With the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s capability, they could only construct nine Chaos Strongholds.¡±

    The Chaos Stronghold floated in the deste space. There were no space cruisers in sight.

    The Delin Star Clustermanding officer of the Long Fur Tribe, Magis, smiled sinisterly at therge screen that disyed the optical image of the neutron star.

    ¡°Is that the Huge Cat God? That¡¯s the reason why they¡¯re diverting my units away so that they could attack my headquarters. So they had the support of the Huge Cat Gods? I wonder which of the eight Huge Cat Gods that is.¡±

    Grayley surveyed the empty Chaos Stronghold and thought, ¡°Trying to defeat my units after knowing of my n?¡±

    Grayley intended to divert enemy units away so that he could destroy the enemy¡¯sir, the neutron star and his elite units. He wanted to destroy the enemy¡¯smanding officer and the Chaos Stronghold.

    If the war continued, the Long Fur Tribe could depend on the unlimited clones and mechanized units while the Short Fur Tribe and Furless Tribe took heavy losses.

    Especially that apostle who defeated Grayley.

    Grayley thought, ¡°Cmity... I¡¯ve to kill her as this human poses a great threat to us.¡±

    In the Chaos Stronghold, themanding officer, Magis, had figured out Grayley¡¯s n and he decided to y along and destroy Grayley¡¯s units.

    Both sides were confident of their strength. The victor had to be determined by their actual battle strength.

    A neutron star that was as huge as a hill opened his mouth and roared without a sound as he pounced on the Chaos Stronghold.

    The Chaos Stronghold shed with billions of light rays as numerous photon cannons fired on the neutron star. The concentrated power was enough to turn the Earth¡¯s surface into a burning hell and kill billions of people.

    The targeted neutron star smiled and gazed at the billions of shot lines as he pounced on the Chaos Stronghold. His paw, that was the size of a small hill, pressed on the armor until it became dented. He locked himself firmly on the surface of the stronghold.

    Magis was dumbstruck and he said, ¡°He¡¯s a neutron star and his surface could absorb heat. Stop the photon attacks... use the kic energy weapons against him!¡±

    The kic energy weapons on the outside of the stronghold activated and fired countless superalloy shells that reached tens of thousands of meter per second on the neutron star.

    The neutron star roared after being hit and the energy on his body exploded. The surrounding gravity changed.

    The neutron star was able to change the gravitational force based on hisrge size.

    With the change in gravity, the superalloy armor under his feet cracked and disintegrated as though there was an earthquake. Huge lines of fissures appeared on the stronghold¡¯s surface.

    All the kic shells were slowed down and turned around as they devastated tens of thousands of square kilometers on the stronghold¡¯s surface.

    Numerous AI controlledbat robots flew towards the neutron star and fired their cannons in a frenzy.

    The neutron star roared and scorching sma shot out from its mouth like the Sun¡¯s ming snake, disintegratingrge amount of mechanized units. The sma shots were created from the heat that he had absorbed just now.

    More mechanized units gathered like ants and bit on the neutron star¡¯s body.

    In themand center, Zhao Yao frowned as he observed the battle images.

    ¡°Thebat power of the Furless Tribe is terrifying. Though I could defeat the 12 Sages, but the Huge Cat God was toorge for me to defeat.¡±

    Zhao Yao did not have any effective way to defeat the Huge Cat God due to hisrge size and quality.

    ¡°I¡¯ve to think of a way to defeat the Huge Cat God and the White Short Star.¡±

    ¡°It would be impressive to bring one back to Earth.¡±

    More and more mechanized units gathered on the neutron star as he braced the attacks using his gravity andrge size. His humongous paw tore at the surface and dug towards the deep end of the stronghold.

    Grayley opened his eyes widely and his power of awareness stormed towards the stronghold.

    ¡°No... No... No...¡± His face became grave. There was no life detected in the stronghold. The countless mechanized units were controlled by the stronghold¡¯s AI.

    To deal with Grayley, Magis had withdrawn 90% of his units from the Chaos Stronghold.

    Without the support of superpowers, the Chaos Stronghold¡¯s mechanized units would not be able to stop the neutron star.

    Moreover, the neutron star could retreat anytime using Space Fold.

    Grayley smiled coldly. ¡°He¡¯s a fool. If there are no reinforcements, we¡¯ll destroy the entire Chaos Stronghold. Let¡¯s see how they deal with that.¡±

    Pom! Half of the neutron star had dug into Chaos Stronghold¡¯s interior. If this continued, the neutron star was able to dig through the entire stronghold.

    A human flew out from the Chaos Stronghold and charged towards the neutron star.

    She was a ten year old little girl with white short hair and her eyes glimmered. Her face was ice cold and she looked like a man-made mannequin.

    The little girl was not fearful of therge neutron star that descended from the sky. She merely extended her hand and aimed at him.

    The little girl¡¯s action looked hrious as everyone would think that the little girl would be crushed into meat sauce. The neutron star did not slow down his speed.

    The reality was different from what they thought. After a series of loud booms, the neutron star halted as his eyes stared nkly at the small little girl.

    The neutron star could see a huge dimension gap opening up in front of the girl. If he charged headlong into it, he would be cut by the dimension gap.

    Though it would not kill him, but he did not want to cut himself.

    The neutron star said, ¡°Grayley, who¡¯s this girl?¡±

    Grayley¡¯s eyes were filled with fear. ¡°Be careful! This girl¡¯s weird and she had prohibited superpowers.¡±

    The neutron starughed loudly as his palm mmed on the little girl. With the distortion of dimension from the movement of his palm, the dimension gap before him closed up.

    The little girl remained motionless. When the palmnded on the girl, it was like a caress and the girl was not moved an inch.

    It was like a full-speed coach being stopped by a grain of dust.

    ¡°Kic Absorption...¡± The neutron star inhaled a gust of cold air and knew that physical attacks were useless against the girl.

    ¡°Let me try!¡± Grayley vanished and transformed into a ck shadow as he traveled in the Awareness Dimension and attacked the girl¡¯s mind.

    The neutron star spat out the apostles and supercats in his body. He closed his palms and controlled the gravity field to bear down on the girl.

    Grayley¡¯s voice rang in Zhao Yao and everyone¡¯s mind as they flew out from the neutron star.

    ¡°Full scale attack! We¡¯ll kill this human girl at all costs!¡±

    Hundreds of elite apostles attacked while Zhao Yao backed up and pretended to release a few Frost Dragons.

    ¡°This is trouble. On this battlefield, there¡¯s no reward for me and I¡¯m being used as cannon fodder.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes surveyed the battlefield. The girl was overwhelmed by countless attacks from hundreds of superpower warriors but she did not die. Even Zhao Yao could feel the strong threat from the girl.

    ¡°Too intense. Instead of joining in the battle, I¡¯ll look for some other rewards...¡±

    A voice was heard in Zhao Yao¡¯s mind. ¡°Zhao Yao!¡±

    Zhao Yao was taken aback by the voice and she spoke again, ¡°I¡¯m the Cat Revolution Society¡¯s mole in the Long Fur Tribe. You may call me Snow. I¡¯m using mental connection over long distance tomunicate with you.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes shed with understanding and he asked, ¡°Do you have any ns? The battlefield¡¯s chaotic. With Grayley and neutron star¡¯s presence, I¡¯m unable to do anything.¡±

    ¡°I know.¡± Snow said, ¡°On the battlefield, 1003 from the Long Fur Tribe is used to attract firepower. After expending the energy of the Short Fur and Furless Tribe, they¡¯ll send out their hidden elite units for the final kill...¡±

    ¡°Wait, 1003...¡± Zhao Yao looked at the girl who was covered by overwhelming attacks and asked, ¡°Is 1003 that small little girl?¡±

    ¡°She¡¯s Long Fur Tribe¡¯s man-made weapon and she¡¯s not human. Cmity¡¯s her alias and 1003 is her codename from Long Fur Tribe.¡± Snow said, ¡°You¡¯ve to be careful. The hidden elite units could attack anytime. Their power is far beyond what you imagine...¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you tell this information to Grayley and the rest? What¡¯s the use if only I knew about the ambush?¡±

    Snow sighed. ¡°We¡¯ve informed Grayley via the proper channels but he didn¡¯t believe us or he was confident he could deal with the ambush.¡±

    ¡°So he came here though he knew about the ambush?¡± Zhao Yao frowned and abruptly thought of the Source n. Grayley had some backup ns that he had not shown.

    Zhao Yao was not keen to join in the main battle.

    Snow said, ¡°We shouldn¡¯t involve ourselves with the main battle but you could steal information on 1003.¡±

    ¡°Information on 1003? Is that the small girl?¡± Zhao Yao thought, ¡°How do I steal the information?¡±

    ¡°Chaos Stronghold is Long Fur Tribe¡¯s safest and most secret ce. From what I know, theboratory and information on 1003 are in the core area of the stronghold. That is the secret ce that we can¡¯t gain ess to. Besides cats, no humans are allowed.¡±

    Snow said, ¡°It¡¯s highly possible that the ce holds the secret to defeating, controlling and creating 1003. The Chaos Stronghold¡¯s at its weakest now so it¡¯s the best time to steal information on 1003.¡±

    ¡°Hey, that¡¯s too difficult.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°Only me? If I encounter the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s unit, isn¡¯t it too dangerous?¡±

    ¡°This is the best chance.¡± Snow said, ¡°The Long Fur Tribe gathered more than 50 supercats and several hundreds of elite warriors lying in ambush for Grayley and the neutron star. In order to reduce the power of awareness of Grayley, there are no cats or humans inside the Chaos Stronghold. You¡¯ll only encounter the Chaos Stronghold¡¯s mechanized defense system.¡±

    ¡°50 cats?¡± Zhao Yao was surprised and ted. That was 50 alien cats and worth 1000000 experience points if captured.

    Zhao Yao had forgotten about battlefield, danger and exposure in an instant.

    If he could capture these 50 alien cats, Zhao Yao was not afraid of exposing himself.

    That was 1000000 experience points which could be used for a lot of things. If the captive alien cats were imprisoned in the Closers World, Sphynx cat and the rest would be able to upgrade their levels ten times faster.

    ¡°Enough of talking. Where¡¯s the hidden units?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes glimmered with bright rays and he became very serious.

    Snow was taken aback and said, ¡°What¡¯s with you? Don¡¯t deal with this unit yourself. That¡¯s the elite unit meant for dealing with Grayley and the neutron star. If you meet them, escape immediately.¡±

    ¡°I understand.¡± Zhao Yao knew that if he told of how he was going to capture the cats, Snow would not tell him about the hidden units. Hence he pretended and said, ¡°I¡¯m aware of my capability. How would I deal with the elite unit alone? You¡¯re right, it¡¯s the best time to steal information on 1003. Where¡¯s the information located?¡±

    Snow sent arge amount of information to Zhao Yao¡¯s mind. They were Chaos Stronghold¡¯s map, the core area¡¯s location and the rough location of the 1003boratory.

    Zhao Yao looked at the information and said, ¡°I know the location roughly. Why don¡¯t you tell me the location of the hidden units? So that I won¡¯t bump into them unknowingly and be killed.¡±

    Zhao Yao pretended to be fearful as he said, ¡°I¡¯m only a small fry. If I meet with two supercats, I¡¯m still able to escape. If I bump into their siege, won¡¯t I be dead? I¡¯m afraid to die, if you won¡¯t tell me their location, I won¡¯t help you.¡±

    Snow pondered for a while and decided that Zhao Yao was earnest. She said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll send you the information.¡±

    Zhao Yao received another batch of information in his awareness and discovered a small red dot on the map.

    Snow said, ¡°They are located there and could attack anytime. You¡¯ve to wait for their attack, then leave the battlefield and steal the information on 1003.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°If Snow knew about this, does this mean that there¡¯s a Cat Revolution Society member in the hidden unit?¡±

    Zhao Yao did not ponder deeply. He lifted his head and looked at the battlefield.

    The small girl floated at her original position and looked dazed at the surrounding warriors. Numerous superpowers bore down on her location. Space Vibration, Object Disintegration and ten other superpowers smashed on her body and looked as though the entire space was going to be prated.

    After this wave of attack, the neutron star used his huge palm to bear down on thousands of meters of superalloy armor tes, mechanized fighters,bat weapons. They disintegrated and became gctic dust.

    ¡°S*it, if this palm hits the Earth, it¡¯ll create a never seen before earthquake and tsunami.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve to think of a way to escape. I can¡¯t stay here and be cannon fodder.¡±

    Zhao Yao opened his eyes widely.

    Superpowers reversed direction and the neutron star retreated as though the videotape was reversed. Everything returned to the state before the battle.

    ¡°That¡¯s a prohibited superpower, Time Reversal.¡± The neutron star inhaled deeply and spat out scorching mes from the Sun¡¯s core. ¡°Don¡¯t stop. The Time Reversal has its limit. Kill her with all your effort.¡±

    All the supercats and apostles attacked again and Grayley¡¯s voice sounded in Zhao Yao¡¯s mind.

    ¡°Guang Yu, why are you dazed? Attack immediately.¡±

    Zhao Yao squinted his eyes after hearing Grayley¡¯s words. He charged out and said, ¡°Acknowledged!¡±

    Under everyone¡¯s shocked gaze, Zhao Yao bolted like a lightning towards the small girl Cmity and left a line of ck afterimages behind him.

    A slim furless cat who looked half human half cat said, ¡°Wow, who¡¯s that? That courageous?¡±

    Grayley shouted, ¡°Guang Yu! Don¡¯t be rash! She¡¯s very powerful!¡±

    Zhao did not seem to hear Grayley. He charged to the girl¡¯s front and pummeled her face with double fists which emitted thunderous howls.

    The speed of the fists was reduced to zero by Kic Absorption and the girl was intact.

    Zhao Yao did not stop. Instead, he hugged her and released his Level 60 awareness that transformed into hundreds of Frost Dragons. The impact exploded on the small girl as Zhao Yao yelled, ¡°Don¡¯t care about me! Fire your cannons!¡±

    Everyone was stunned as they could not believe there was such a self-sacrificing cat ve.

    A white hot ray emitted from the girl¡¯s body. A force that was as terrifying as two collidings rose up from the contact point of Zhao Yao and the girl.

    The kic energy absorbed from the neutron star was released.

    Zhao Yao was instantly shredded into a million pieces.

    Everyone witnessed Zhao Yao disintegrating like dust that dispersed in space.

    Grayley was shocked. ¡°Guang Yu¡¯s that loyal to us? And that courageous? He¡¯s... too silly.¡±

    After killing Zhao Yao, Cmity turned her head and looked at the palm-sized supercat. Thick sma rays shot out from her eyes and traveled towards the supercat.

    The mini-cat shed and dodged her line of sight. He transformed into a form smaller than dust and flew into the girl¡¯s ear.

    ¡°He, he, he, witness how I¡¯m going to destroy you in your body!¡±

    A vibration emanated from the girl as kic energy was released again. The vibration instantly killed the mini-cat.

    Grayley was furious after Cmity killed his cat ve and a supercat. He shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t engage in closebat! She has Kic Absorption. Don¡¯t get near her!¡±

    ¡°For the Short Fur Tribe!¡±

    ¡°For the Furless Tribe!¡±

    With sacrifices of Zhao Yao and a supercat, the morale of the warriors surged and they roared angrily as they charged at Cmity.

    As the battle intensified, Zhao Yao stood inside the Dimension Portal, which was ten kilometers away, watching the fighting.

    Zhao Yao thought of a n while surveying the distant Cmity.

    That was to y dead and avoid the battle while staying hidden to reap the rewards.

    He activated Time Freeze and Ultra Rapid Regeneration just now. When he was killed by the small little girl, he used Revival and Time Freeze to escape from the battlefield and hide in the Extradimensional Belly.

    Zhao Yao contracted the Dimension Portal to the size of an eye hole so that people would not discover the dimension anomaly and he could watch the battle at the same time.

    ¡°Cmity... is too powerful. I was thinking of escaping using Ultra Rapid Regeneration after being injured by her. I didn¡¯t expect her to kill me with a blow and I had to be revived.¡±

    Zhao Yao recounted what he saw above her head after getting close to her¡ª Level ???

    ¡°What¡¯s the meaning of the question marks? Is her level too high to be identified? It¡¯s not possible. Is her power too high for Book to identify?¡±

    The girl was evenly matched with the few hundreds of superpower users. Once she was wounded, Time Reversal would be activated to heal her wounds. Zhao Yao was getting worried as she killed off tens of opponents.

    ¡°It¡¯s too incredible. How did the girl be that strong? Did the Long Fur Tribe discover a method to let human possess many superpowers?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought of looking for the 50 Long Fur Tribe¡¯s supercats after pretending to be dead. However, after he was killed with a blow and then revived, he was reconsidering his n as the 50 supercats might have prohibited superpower.

    Zhao Yao was getting more and more curious about 1003 and he thought, ¡°It¡¯s not a good idea to use brute force. I¡¯ll wait for both sides to fight before I investigate 1003. After that, I¡¯ll return to the battlefield and find a chance to steal... no, pick up some cats.¡±

    Snow¡¯s voice was heard in Zhao Yao¡¯s mind. ¡°Zhao Yao? Are you there?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡±

    Snow said, ¡°What happened? Why did I lose contact with you?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°She didn¡¯t see my sacrifice in the battle? Hmm, she only has a mental connection with me and she¡¯s unable to see the battle. The battlefield¡¯s like a thunderstorm with the power of awareness wrecking havoc. Using one¡¯s mental energy to watch the battle is like looking for death.

    In addition, she could be with the hidden elite units. As a human, she could not have first-hand intelligence of the battle.

    A few thoughts shed by Zhao Yao¡¯s mind but he said firmly, ¡°Hmm, I yed dead to deceive them. When they start fighting, I¡¯ll steal the information.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s good. I¡¯ll be unable to maintain contact with you once the battle starts. Make stealing the 1003 information your priority even if you are exposed! This is our only hope to defeat the supercats.¡±

    ¡°I understand.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the battlefield and massaged his cheeks. His cheekbones and facial muscles were manipted such that he looked different.

    The battle became more intense. Cmity charged around with her invincible body. All her opponents who touched her disintegrated and all kic attacks were ineffective against her.

    The neutron star manipted the gravitational force to distort Cmity but it did not kill ker.

    Grayley led his followers in an attack on her in the awareness realm.

    Zhao Yao was unable to determine the results of the attack. From what he saw, the girl was not taking damage.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Besides sma Vision, Time Reversal and Dimension Gap, she must have a superpower that resists the power of awareness.¡±

    ¡°ording to Grayley, Time Reversal is a prohibited superpower. I wonder if she has other prohibited superpower.¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned. If other prohibited superpowers were as powerful as Time Reversal, the real power of the girl could be greater than what was observed.

    ¡°But... if she has other prohibited superpowers, why isn¡¯t she using them?¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned and contemted the situation. ¡°If I had such a trump card, I wouldn¡¯t be passively defending... I find it very strange.¡±

    The situation of the battlefield changed rapidly. Hundreds of figures were transported by Dimension Travel to the battlefield and they charged out in all directions.

    ¡°Has it begun? Then I shall...¡± With a thought, Zhao Yao controlled the Dimension Portal and floated towards the Chaos Stronghold.

    Zhao Yao controlled the eye-sized Dimension Portal to prateyers andyers of armor tes as he left the battlefield behind him. His mind checked the map while he corrected his bearings and advanced towards the coreboratory.

    Zhao Yao felt that his speed was slow.

    Though the Dimension Portal was traveling at full speed it was slower than his personal speed.

    The Chaos Stronghold was asrge as a. To travel in the humongous space at the current speed was too slow.

    Zhao Yao got Dust Ball to maneuver the Dimension Portal straight ahead while he got hold of Roly Poly from Cat Ind.

    Zhao Yao pinched on the back skin of his neck and shook him. ¡°Project X! Have you evolved Roly Poly¡¯s superpower? Is it having the ability to walk through objects on top of optical invisibility?¡±

    Project X was shocked and said, ¡°What Project X? I don¡¯t know. I¡¯m Roly Poly. Zhao Yao, don¡¯t speak nonsense.¡±

    ¡°Tsk.¡± Zhao Yao could not be bothered to argue with him as he was under his surveince. Zhao Yao said, ¡°You¡¯ll activate your superpower and we¡¯ll sneak into the Chaos Stronghold.¡±

    ¡°Could I not go? I have a stomachache.¡± Project X was reluctant but after feeling the powering from the back of his neck, he had no choice but to yield. He nodded reluctantly and said, ¡°I understand.¡±

    Zhao Yao grabbed Project X while he charged out of the Dimension Portal. His body became invisible and he prated theyers of armor ting. Then he hurried towards the core interior.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°This superpower is very useful as it is an invisible field that makes desired objects invisible within its effective radius.

    Pom!

    Zhao Yao stomped on the wall and bolted out like lightning.

    ¡°Turning my invisibility on and off only required a single thought and I could go through all obstacles without any form or shadow. I could hold onto Roly Poly, step on solid ground and steal... oops, pick up things.¡±

    Zhao Yao traveled at full speed which was much faster than shifting the Dimension Portal. He was formless and without shadow. Without air friction, he could elerate without limits. He approached the coreboratory rapidly.

    ¡°I can¡¯t elerate anymore as it is reaching my reaction limit. At this speed... I could travel around the Earth in a few minutes.¡±

    Zhao Yao focused his thoughts and opened a Dimension Portal. He dashed into the portal with Project X and they arrived in the Extradimensional Belly.

    He peeped out from the Dimension Portal and surveyed the surroundings warily.

    Because he was that close to the core area, Zhao Yao stepped into the Dimension Portal to avoid stepping on sensors that might reveal his presence.

    He hid behind the Dimension Portal to get close to theboratory.

    He saw numerousrge doors in front. He bypassed various surveince and defense systems using the Dimension Portal.

    Arge space appeared before Zhao Yao.

    There was man-made sunlight, arge expanse of grass ins, a coastline and rows ofrge buildings.

    If there had been a sky in the core area, Zhao Yao might have mistaken the location for a resort.

    Zhao Yao surveyed the buildings and rested his gaze at the highest and most prominent building which looked like a wizard¡¯s tower from far.

    The tower was more than a thousand meters tall and more than five hundred meters wide. The tower¡¯s body glowed with blue rays that looked mysterious. There were floating mini-buildings surrounding the tower.

    ¡°Well, I wasn¡¯t not told the exact location... It is probably the tower then as it is the most conspicuous.¡±

    Zhao Yao knew that this was Long Fur Tribe¡¯s most secret area where normal people were not allowed. The Cat Revolution Society¡¯s members had not been there so they did not have any information about this ce.

    Zhao Yao stayed behind the Dimension Portal and edged closer to the distant tower.

    After covering more than a hundred meters, the underground space shed with crimson rays and siren red.

    Zhao Yao was shocked. ¡°S*it, is the defense system able to detect dimension ripples?¡±

    It was toote, Zhao Yao grabbed Project X and activated his invisibility as he bolted out of the Dimension Portal and flew towards the distant tower.

    Zhao Yao picked up speed and saw numerous lights illuminating the tower¡¯s body. Various sound waves, electromaic energy, space, heat, mass and gravity sensors and defense systems, which Zhao Yao could not figure out, activated and engulfed the huge tower.

    Countless mechanized units on the ground flew to the sky like dark clouds and dispersed in the huge space.

    Zhao Yao did not say a word as he grabbed Project X and threw him ahead.

    Project X roared angrily, ¡°D*mn!!¡±

    Project X recovered himself. If Zhao Yao was killed, it meant trouble. If he died, he could be revived by Zhao Yao using the Door of Evesting Life.

    Project X was still unhappy but he had to brace himself as he broke throughyers of defenses and detection before knocking headlong into the tower¡¯s interior.

    Zhao Yao followed behind and frowned at theplex beehive-like structure.

    His ears quivered and he detected various vibrations. The colliding sounds edged closer and closer to him.

    ¡°Are they able to detect me though I¡¯m invisible? I¡¯m exchanging air, heat, electromaic energy, photons and forces with the environment. I¡¯m not sure which one they are detecting but they are tight in their defenses...¡±

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°I cannot afford to waste my time with the defense system...¡±

    After thinking for a while, the invisible Zhao Yao leaped into the air and jumped over several obstacles.

    Along the way, Zhao Yao swallowed all file cabs andputers into the Extradimensional Belly.

    Hebed the way up for things that were of value. Because of the sirens, he did not have time to examine them properly.

    His eyes were filled with darkness as he lifted his head and looked in shock.

    He saw honeb-shaped cabs arranged neatly up the tower. They looked like thousands of coffins that were stacked with no end in sight.

    In these coffins were small little girls that looked exactly like Cmity.

    Zhao Yao looked in astonishment at the countless Cmities that were submerged in solution canisters. They floated with their eyes closed and they looked like action figures ced in toy shops.

    ¡°What kind of things are they creating?¡± Zhao Yao scratched his head in frustration. ¡°Did the Long Fur Tribe clone a bunch of Cmities? If everyone was that powerful, then the Fur...¡±

    Project X said anxiously, ¡°Hey, Zhao Yao...¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Don¡¯t bother me.¡±

    Project X said, ¡°Look here Zhao Yao...¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Don¡¯t bother me. Don¡¯t you see I¡¯m thinking?¡±

    Project X said, ¡°They opened their eyes.¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Huh?¡±

    At this instance, a formless ripple went through the air. Zhao Yao lifted his head and saw thousands of girls gazing at him.

    Zhao Yao swallowed his saliva as he had not felt the pressure of being gazed at by that many girls.

    ¡°Are they able to see me? Impossible, I¡¯ve activated my superpower. Theoretically, optical eyes are not able to see me...¡±

    Zhao Yao tried shifting his body and their eyes followed him. They had their eyes on him.

    Recalling how Cmity fought with hundreds of superpower warriors, Zhao Yao¡¯s breath quickened.

    Project X said, ¡°Zhao Yao, these girls do not appear malicious.¡± After some observation, Project X calmed down and analyzed the situation. ¡°Things are not as bad as they seem.¡±

    ¡°Hmm.¡± Zhao Yao nodded and said, ¡°If the girls here were as strong as Cmity, then the Long Fur Tribe would send them out to defeat Grayley and the others. This is obviously not possible...¡±

    Project X squinted his eyes and looked carefully at a nearby girl before abruptly saying, ¡°Zhao Yao, look at the girl¡¯s buttocks. It¡¯s very strange.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked in the same direction and was stunned. ¡°A tail?¡±

    A tail protruded from the tail end of her spine and it swung around like a cat¡¯s tail.

    Zhao Yao frowned. ¡°Perhaps they fused the DNA of a supercat and human... These cats are...¡±

    As they were analyzing the situation, crimson red shed in the entire space, followed by loud ring of sirens. The little girls, who were watching Zhao Yao, popped their heads above the solution and looked nkly at the space that was intruded.

    ¡°Did they discover my presence?¡± Zhao Yao looked grave. As he was about to move, he saw that the little girl¡¯s cab was emitting blinding crimson rays.

    The surrounding exits opened up andrge numbers of robot soldiers charged in and fired high-energy weapons at Zhao Yao¡¯s location.

    Amidst the violent explosion and heat wave, Zhao Yao braced through the attacks and flew upwards.

    The attacks prated Zhao Yao¡¯s body but did not have any effect on Zhao Yao.

    As Zhao Yao looked on in astonishment, one by one, the little girls dissolved into bubbles in the solution and disappeared like illusions...

    ...

    The Delin Star Clustermanding officer of the Long Fur Tribe, Magis, looked at the surveince images and said, ¡°Activate the self-destruct mechanism and dissolve all the experimental bodies.¡±

    The adjutant by the side was shocked and hesitant. ¡°Officer, we used arge amount of resources and time to produce those experimental bodies. 1002 is still inside, if we destroy them...¡±

    ¡°Do you realize how serious the consequences will be if the Short Fur Tribe obtains one of the experimental bodies?¡± Magis said angrily. ¡°I can bear the losses but if the technology is stolen, then it can¡¯t be redeemed by money.¡±

    The adjutant was in doubt and he said, ¡°We could try different ways. Since the gravitational waves can detect the enemy¡¯s location, if we change to other weapons or deploy elite warriors with gravitational power...¡±

    Magis wanted to defeat Grayley¡¯s units with his hidden elite units on Chaos Stronghold but he did not have any spare units to deal with Zhao Yao¡¯s intrusion.

    ¡°There¡¯s no time to test. The main battle has reached a critical stage. I have to defeat Grayley and Neutron Star so I can¡¯t deploy my forces for other purposes.¡± Magis shook his head and said, ¡°Destroy all the experimental materials.¡±

    ¡°War is not business. Losses and profits are secondary. The most important thing is victory. The critical factor for weapon technology is not capital but how advanced it is!¡±

    Magis said as he controlled the panels to dissolve all the experimental bodies and flushed them into the waste pool.

    ¡°I¡¯ll blow up the entire coreboratory area. I can¡¯t let them have any information.¡±

    The adjutant was shocked and said, ¡°This... this requires the approval from higher authority...¡±

    ¡°I am the highest authority in Chaos Stronghold.¡±

    ...

    In the time frozen world, Zhao Yao flew up towards the tower.

    Along the way, he saw numerous cans containing a faint crimson solution.

    As he discovered more and more cans, Zhao Yao became grave.

    Though Zhao Yao thought that all the girls had vanished, at the highest point of the tower, a little girl that looked like Cmity floated in a crystal coffin.

    The little girl¡¯s hands and legs were dissolved and the head was bald. Her remaining arm was raised and her brows slightly raised. She looked like she was in agony.

    ¡°Thank goodness, she¡¯s not dead...¡± Zhao Yao opened the Dimension Portal and cut open the hygiene protection of the little girl before throwing the remains into the portal.

    Zhao Yao shoved the nearby machines into the portal before leaving.

    ¡°I don¡¯t have much time. I¡¯ll take as much as possible...¡± Zhao Yao grabbed as much as he could while calcting the he had time. ¡°I can¡¯t use up all the Time Freeze. The cooling down period is too long...¡±

    After using half the Time Freeze, Zhao Yao resumed time and flew upwards. He pratedyers of armor tes before hiding in the Dimension Portal.

    Behind him, the entireboratory area was engulfed by heat waves of thousands of degrees celsius. Everything evaporated and vanished in the mes.

    In the Extradimensional Belly, Zhao Yao hugged the drenched little girl while Matcha, Project X and Dust Ball stared wide-eyed at him.

    Matcha asked, ¡°Who¡¯s this little girl? Roly Poly, you were with Zhao Yao, do you know?¡±

    Project X said, ¡°I don¡¯t know! Don¡¯t ask me and don¡¯t bother me.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the small little girl whose arms and legs were stained with blood which was oozing out from her broken limbs. She did not struggle but looked dazed at Zhao Yao.

    Her brows knitted asionally to indicate her pain.

    Zhao Yao shouted, ¡°Lucifer! Come and help.¡±

    Lucifer leaped and bounded as he ran over. When he saw the blood-stained girl with Zhao Yao, he was shocked.

    Zhao Yao looked at Lucifer¡¯s loyalty and said, ¡°Lend her your superpower!¡±

    Lucifer ced his paw on the little girl¡¯s head and was surprised. ¡°It was sessful? Fast, her speed of borrowing superpower is fast...¡±

    The wounds of the girl healed and her limbs grew again. She did not move during the process and she was like a doll in Zhao Yao¡¯s arms. The grown limbs did not look like they belong to her.

    Shoulder length white hair grew out from her bald hair.

    Zhao Yao heaved in relief when he saw the girl fully healed. He gave his clothing to the girl. ¡°Wear this clothing? Do you know how to wear clothes? No, do you understand me?¡±

    The small little girl did not move. Even her tail was lying limp on the ground. She had no reaction to the outside world. She gazed at Zhao Yao with her nk eyes.

    Zhao Yao sighed. He had no time to bother about this little girl. The Chaos Stronghold was having a fierce battle and he wanted to go back and capture the supercats.

    He could not possible dump her in the Extradimensional Belly. As a human weapon of the Long Fur Tribe, Zhao Yao could not afford to underestimate her power. If she abruptly went on a killing spree, what was going to happen to his supercats?

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Lucifer, take back your superpower.¡±

    Lucifer nodded but he was stunned. ¡°No... No, I can¡¯t take it back.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Zhao Yao looked in surprise at the small little girl who was motionless and looking dazed.

    After pondering, Zhao Yao looked at Matcha and said, ¡°Call Bai Quan, Sphynx cat, Doll and Zhao Xue...¡±

    A few minutester, Bai Quan, Zhao Xue and a group of supercats gathered beside Zhao Yao and looked curiously at the small little girl.

    Zhao Yao pointed at the girl and said, ¡°Help me watch over this girl...¡± After much deliberation, he said, ¡°Her situation¡¯splex and I¡¯ll exin when I return. When you watch over her, treat her as if she has the same power as me. Borrow the appropriate superpowers and be very careful.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Doll and said, ¡°Doll, examine her. And take a look at those machines and see what they are.¡±

    Zhao Xue looked at the dazed girl and Zhao Yao as she asked suspiciously, ¡°Zhao Yao, where did you kidnap this girl?¡±

    Zhao Yao said angrily, ¡°Kidnap? I picked her up! Don¡¯t be deceived by her silly looks, her... her sister killed me with a blow.¡±

    ¡°Killed you with a blow?¡± Sphynx cat¡¯s eyes lit up and looked curiously at the small little girl. ¡°What superpower?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t have time for this. Watch over her and don¡¯t let down your guard. I don¡¯t know her superpower but she could be very powerful.¡±

    Doll controlled tens of robots that were carrying various medical equipment to examine the little girl.

    Zhao Yao reminded them again before going into the Dimension Portal and returning to the Chaos Stronghold.

    Before long, he returned with a body full of blood. He grabbed Project X and charged out again.

    Project X said, ¡°Zhao Yao! D*mn you @#£¤%...¡±

    Outside the portal was the air was a scorching high temperature. With the self-destruction of theboratory area, theboratory space was sealed and had be tens of thousands of degrees of hell.

    Zhao Yao brought along Project X, activated his superpower and shot towards the battlefield.

    He elerated incessantly. A few minutester, he heard loud explosions from afar. He saw scorching rays shing at a distance of tens of kilometers away.

    Neutron Star, that covered the sky, emitted strong gravitational field. The surface erupted with fireballs which were actually hundreds of mecha warriors from Long Fur Tribe attacking Neutron Star.

    The surface of the stronghold was full of huge gullies. Metal ravines that were about ten kilometers long exploded and copsed. Flying robot soldiers, mecha warriors, supercats fought with the warriors from the Short Fur and Furless Tribe.

    Zhao Yao looked at the chaos on the battlefield, smiled and sneaked in.

    The bodies of more than ten hideous warriors from the Furless Tribe were covered with spikes. Their bodies shed as they chased two supercats from the Long Fur Tribe into Neutron Star¡¯s ravines. One Long Fur Tribe¡¯s supercat mecha was tall and the other was short.

    ¡°Capture them!¡±

    The leader of the hideous warriors shouted his body shing with distorted ripples. He appeared on top of the two supercats and attacked with his fist. Destructive ripples flew towards the supercats.

    The hideous warrior, who was of Level 60 and above, could use his body¡¯s power topress space and release destructive energy from the body, creating different effects that multiplied physical attacks by ten to a thousand times.

    The two supercats sneered and activated their superpowers. All the hideous warriors felt their movement be sluggish as though they were stuck in quicksand. Their limbs became weak and upper torsos were limp.

    Three supercats appeared abruptly and released different superpowers.

    The hideous warriors were in shock as they thought they were ambushed and were about to be destroyed.

    All the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s supercats vanished with a series of popping sounds.

    Looking at the emptybat zone, the hideous warriors looked at each other. They waited but there were no attacks.

    In the Dimension Portal, Zhao Xue, Bai Quan, Matcha and Sphynx cat looked dazed at the five supercats that had appeared abruptly. They were being ripped out of their mecha like peeled prawns.

    After Zhao Yao activated Time Freeze and Dimension Portal, he stabbed the supercats with the Dragon ying Saber hundreds of times.

    ¡°One, two, three, four, five, five captured supercats.¡±

    Seeing the five fearful supercats convulsing and vomiting white foam on the ground, Zhao Yao¡¯s Book indicated he had earned ten thousand experience points and he smiled earnestly like an old farmer.

    Zhao Xue aked, ¡°Zhao Yao, where did you get the cats?¡±

    Zhao Yao waved his hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s not idly chat. Get Elizabeth and Diana toe over here. Tell them to imprison them in the entertainment room and make them y Closers World.¡±

    With the current Closers World volume, there were 1 billion online users daily, enough to subdue the captured supercats.

    After speaking, Zhao Yao jumped into the Dimension Portal and vanished.

    Zhao Xue and Bai Quan looked at each other while Sphynx cat walked to the front of the alien cats, squatted down and touched their bodies. ¡°These supercats look like they are from aliens. Zhao Yao could be battling with the alien cats.¡±

    Zhao Xue said in shock, ¡°Zhao Yao¡¯s fighting with the alien cats?¡±

    ...

    The invisible Zhao Yao and Project X roamed the Chaos Stronghold while Zhao Yao wielded his Dragon ying Saber.

    He saw a Level 62 and Level 65 figures jumping around from a distance.

    ¡°It¡¯s them!¡± Zhao Yao charged towards the figures.

    He saw two Furless Tribe¡¯s supercats fighting with a group of mecha warriors.

    The two supercats had long slim bodies that were expanding and contracting intensely. They looked more like hunting leopards rather than kittens. They charged around, leaving trails of lightning-like afterimages. Large numbers of mecha warriors and robot soldiers were hit and destroyed.

    ¡°Hahahaha! A pile of trash! See how I¡¯m destroying all of you!¡±

    After a roar, the furless cat extended his palm and projected space distortion which left trails of destruction and disintegration along its path.

    Zhao Yao and Project X peeped out sneakily from behind a metal te.

    ¡°Whah? Furless Tribe cats which are on our side?¡± Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought, ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll take them.¡±

    All things were frozen. Zhao Yao activated Time Freeze and slipped behind the two furless cats. He stabbed them with the Dragon ying Saber hundreds of time.

    After stabbing them, he didn¡¯t put the two cats into the Extradimensional Belly. He retreated and deactivated Time Freeze.

    The two furless cats hung in mid-air and were taken aback before they roared loudly. Powerful energy exploded from their body and space distortion emanated in all directions, tearing the air and disintegrating objects.

    The effects of the Dragon ying Saber did not crush their willpower nor seal their superpowers. Instead, they were enraged.

    ¡°It¡¯s fortunate that I was careful and didn¡¯t send them into the Extradimensional Belly,¡± Zhao Yao thought. These furless cats have shocking willpower. I¡¯m unable to subdue them using the Dragon ying Saber. Hmm... I¡¯ll have to think of other ways.¡±

    He shouted to Matcha who was behind the Dimension Portal, ¡°Get to work. I need to use your superpower.¡±

    Matcha rode on top of Lucifer and roared, ¡°I got it!¡± His paws left trails of afterimages as he smacked Lucifer till he moaned in pain.

    This was the method Matcha used to reduce the cooling down period of Time Freeze.

    ¡°Who attacked us?!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s a repulsive superpower. I¡¯m going to kill you!¡±

    Boom! Boom! Boom! The two furless cats went into a rage destroying everything like a Godzi on a rampage.

    Zhao Yao looked at the two destructive cats silently while waiting for the Time Freeze cooling down period to end.

    Momentster, Zhao Yao activated Time Freeze. He touched the supercats¡¯ backs and pummeled their head sviciously.

    One punch... two punches... three punches...

    Zhao Yao¡¯s double fists rained continuously on the backs of the supercats¡¯ heads.

    With the power of eight cats and training from Sphynx cat, the Blood of Evolution and severe environments, Zhao Yao exploded with shocking power.

    Every muscle, fibre, and bone extended and contracted with the power of an explosive volcano.

    Zhao Yao used his full effort when he punched, with the power of a mini earthquake, the head of the furless cat. He punched him more than a hundred times and ran to the other furless cat whose head he had also started punching.

    When the Time Freeze ended, the two furless cat moaned and plummeted to the ground while they passed out in mid air.

    Zhao Yao sent the two cats into the Dimension Portal in a hurry while the mecha warriors looked at each other and left for other battles.

    Zhao Yao picked up all cats with all lengths of fur. When the battle came to an end, Zhao Yao had already caught 32 supercats.

    ¡°640 000 experience points, 640 000 experience points!¡± Zhao Yao was exhrated as he shouted, ¡°I¡¯m rich! I¡¯m rich! Picking up alien cats is worthwhile. I¡¯ll use the experience points when I return.¡±

    With the disappearance of many supercats, thebatants of both sides discovered that something wasamiss.

    Grayley said, ¡°Those disgusting Long Furballs! We have lost contact with many cats. What superpower is that?¡±

    In themand center, Magis looked furiously at the battlefield images. ¡°We lost more than half of our supercats in such a short time. What happened?¡±

    Grayley said, ¡°It must be the Long Furballs ying tricks!¡±

    Magis said, ¡°It must be the Short Furballs ying tricks!¡±

    Both sides fought for half a day but only managed to kill off a few cats. When Zhao Yao appeared, more than half of the cats were captured.

    Both sides thought their opponents were responsible and they retaliated viciously.

    In the palm of Neutron Star, Cmity was firmly restrained by numerous gravitational field like Monkey God imprisoned under the Wuxing Mountain.

    Both the inside and exterior of Cmity¡¯s body were criss-crossed with Grayley¡¯s power of awareness. He wanted to suppress her awareness and control her body so that she could not activate her superpower.

    Observing serious casualties on his side, Grayley activated his skills.

    Dark figures descended from the thin air. The figures were countless Long Fur, Short Fur, and Furless bodies.

    They were cat warriors from the Source n. Everyone had extremely powerful superpowers and their awareness were destroyed by Grayley so that they were controlled by him.

    Powerful energy erupted from their bodies. Twenty lethal superpowers shot towards Cmity in a bid to subdue her.

    Magis¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw the scene. ¡°I was expecting this from you for a long time.¡±

    Cmity¡¯s eyes lit up with white rays and a shocking sucking power came within her body. She transformed into infinite darkness. Like a ckhole, she engulfed Grayley, the twenty cat warriors and the paws of Neutron Star.

    Cmity had exploded and turned into a ck hole instantly. In that instant, the ck hole also vanished in thin air.

    The 20 cat-made cats created under the Source n, Grayley, Cmity and the paw of Neutron Star vanished altogether.

    Upon the sudden loss of his paw, Neutron Star roared in rage and turned the strong winds into force fields that ttened masses ofnd.

    Zhao Yao whipped his head up and stared in the direction of the ck hole. In that instant, he too sensed the extreme danger.

    ¡°What just happened?¡±

    At the same time, the atmosphere in the battlefield took a drastic turn as the warriors from the Long Fur Tribe charged towards Neutron Star excitedly.

    ¡°Grayley is dead!¡±

    ¡°Kill them all!¡±

    ¡°Neutron Star is badly wounded too!¡±

    ¡°For the Long Furs!¡±

    Zhao Yao stared in astonishment at the hundreds of mecha warriors leading the troop of millions of robot warriors and charging towards Neutron Star like an army of locusts before falling like pouring rain as they were battered down at once by Neutron Star¡¯s force field attack.

    ¡°Grayley died just like that?¡± Zhao Yao remained doubtful about this.

    At the same time, Magis, who was in themand center, stood up on his hind legs excitedly as he shouted, ¡°Nice bombing! Attack with full force! Capture all of them.¡±

    As he said that, a metal armor materialized and encased his body as it extended out. He had donned his mechanical armor to personally enter the battlefield.

    Cmity died after her suicidal explosion, Grayley¡¯s death remained ambiguous, the 20 cat-made cats had all been swallowed up in an instant. On the other hand, the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s army was closing in in full force while its leader, Magis, personally led the army d in armor. The odds on the battlefield had turned against the Short Fur Tribe and the Furless Tribe at once.

    At that moment, Zhao Yao suddenly heard Snow¡¯s voice in his head. Her voice was very weak, evidently worn out from the great battle previously.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, how are things on your side? Have you stolen the information on 1003?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought of the girl in his own Extradimensional Belly. He did not know how to exin the situation at the moment.

    However, Snow continued, ¡°Forget it. There¡¯s no time to talk about this now. Someone will contact you next time.

    You should leave now... The Long Fur Tribe will most likely win this battle. Hopefully the Short Fur Tribe and the Furless Tribe will be able to counter their attacks asap.¡±

    Right after that, her voice disappeared. A ray of golden light shed across the sky as Magis appeared, d in mechanical armor from head to toe and gleaming with golden light. With a sh of his paw, a golden de cleaved through more than a thousand miles and right through Neutron Star¡¯s back, leaving a wound as deep as a valley.

    At the same time, Magis flew out by hundreds of kilometers from the impact of Neutron Star¡¯s counterattack.

    As more and more robot soldiers charged forward, hundreds of elite force soldiers patrolling the battlefield. Neutron Star roared in fury as he was forced to retreat backwards. Atst, an enormous surge of Awareness suddenly struck, pushing back the elite forces of the Long Fur Tribe for a moment.

    Grayley, who was severely wounded, screamed at Neutron Star, ¡°Leave!¡±

    Grayley was severely wounded by Cmity¡¯s self-explosion. Although he managed to revive himself through his clone in the City of Dreams, it was unsure if he would even be able to fully recover in the years ahead.

    Neutron Star seized the chance and immediately fled the battle scene with the remnants of his troops, without caring if his cat ves had caught up with him.

    ¡°Chase him!¡± Magis screamed in delight, ¡°Finish them off!¡±

    In the chaos of the battle, Zhao Yao followed them cautiously, picking up a few cats from the Long Fur Tribe along the way.

    Coupled with his gains from the previous battle, Zhao Yao managed to capture a total of 40 alien cats. This earned him 80 000 experience points, which probably made him the biggest winner out of this whole battle.

    Next, he returned to the Extradimensional Belly without caring about the oue of the battle. The little girl and 40 alien cats were more pressing issues for him to settle first.

    They were like a giant bomb. If not handled with care, all of Earth might just be obliterated.

    ...

    Once he was back in the Extradimensional Belly, Zhao Yao opened the Book.

    Book: Level 8(85 5817/100 000)

    ¡°I¡¯ve struck rich! I¡¯m rich! It¡¯s 85k worth of experience points. How should I put them to good use?¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head. He contained his excitement and turned back to the Extradimensional Belly. All the supercats, Bai Quan and Zhao Xue stared at him.

    At the same time, 40 alien catsy on the floor. All of them were wearing the game console eyewear and had their Awareness transferred into Closers World.

    Due to the sudden influx of alien cats, Elizabeth and Diana were not able to transport them in time. Hence they resorted to putting the game console on them.

    Zhao Yao immediately calmed down after seeing the varying levels of Level 60 to Level 69 on top of their heads.

    He turned to look at the little girl whom he snatched from theboratory. Shey motionless as Doll inspected her. She was not an issue of concern for now.

    ¡°The biggest problem now is these 40 alien cats.¡±

    ¡°Given the strength of Closers World currently, suppressing a few of these high level alien cats would not be an issue. But there¡¯s 40 of them. Given the current strength of Closers World, it will be impossible topletely suppress all of them through the game.¡±

    ¡°I need to think of a way to subdue them in Closers World.¡±

    However, that was still just a thought. Zhao Yao nced at the alien cats on the floor. He first stabbed the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s cats with the Dragon ying Saber again to buff its effects. He then turned to a cat from the Furless Tribe who seemed like it was about to regain consciousness. He went up to that cat and started bashing his head madly.

    Seeing how Zhao Yao was bashing the Furless Tribe cat, the supercats at the side were secretly scared out of their wits as they conversed with each other telepathically.

    ¡°What the heck, Zhao Yao¡¯s bing more and more scary.¡±

    ¡°This is cat abuse, tant cat abuse.¡±

    On the other hand, Zhao Yao managed to think of way to suppress the 40 alien cats. He turned his gaze on the only supercat he caught from the Short Fur Tribe.

    When Grayley and Neutron Star attacked the Chaos Stronghold this time round, only three supercats were involved in the battle. Aside from Grayley, the other two cats were his brothers.

    This Short Fur Tribe cat caught by Zhao Yao was Level 67. He was Grayley¡¯s younger brother, Whiteley.

    ¡°This guy definitely knows more information about Awareness Countries. If I can get that information from him, I will be able to increase the upper limits of Closers World.¡±

    After thinking about it, Zhao Yao decided to enter the cat¡¯s dreams directly and question him from there.

    At that moment, Whiteley¡¯s superpowers were sealed by the Dragon ying Saber. Aside from his intelligence, he was just like any another normal cat and totally harmless.

    Zhao Yao yed around with the cat for awhile in his dreams before the cat spilled all the information he knew about Awareness Countries.

    However, as he was not one of the Sages, he did not haveplete information on the Awareness Country either.

    ¡°Dreamscape Proliferation, Dimension Conversion and Virtual Reality Mirroring and the information regarding Spiritual Energy I already knew. Now I¡¯m just missing the information about the Thought Regtion technique. Once I have that information, my knowledge of the Awareness Country will beplete.¡±

    ¡°The requirement for activating the first four techniques at the same time is a power of Awareness above Level 55. Luckily I still have the power I borrowed from Grayley. However, it looks like the requirements for the power of Awareness will be even stricter to achieve a perfect Awareness Country. Even so, I should have reached that level by then.¡±

    However, though he was stillcking thest part, the information he currently had was enough for him to upgrade Closers World and use it to suppress the alien cats.

    He quickly stabbed the alien cats with the Dragon ying Saber again to prolong its effects. Next, he grabbed each of the elite supercats from the Furless Tribe and prolonged their unconsciousness. Finally, Zhao Yao was ready to enter Closers World and upgrade it.

    The next moment, billions of yers around the world were kicked out of Closers World as time started to speed up and reached supersonic speed in Closers World.

    In Closers World, Gaia was fighting monsters with Rice Cake.

    With a sh of his paw, Gaia, who was d in gold armor, finally killed the wolf Boss in the game, which exploded to reveal a huge pile of equipment.

    Rice Cake heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°It¡¯s finally dead. This Boss was so hard to kill.¡±

    Gaia nodded. ¡°Yeah, let¡¯s go to the Snow Mountain Dungeon now. My cooldown period isn¡¯t over yet.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Rice Cake hesitated. ¡°I haven¡¯t done my homework for today.¡±

    ¡°Forget about doing homework. Clearing dungeons is way more important than homework,¡± Gaia said sternly. ¡°As a professional gamer, you must learn to give up homework when necessary.¡±

    Rice Cake continued to hesitate. ¡°But Cheese will get angry if he find out. If the teacher tells Zhao Yao, he wille and scold me again.¡±

    ¡°Then let him scold you. Just focus on ying your game,¡± Gaia retorted. ¡°As a professional gamer, you must learn to turn the disdain, contempt, criticism, and coldness of others into your motivation for continuing to y games.¡±

    Rice Cake sighed. ¡°It¡¯s so hard to be a professional gamer.¡±

    At that moment, both cats¡¯ vision turned ck as they realized they had already left the game and returned to the real world.

    ¡°What the f*ck! Why were we disconnected?!¡± Gaia immediately flew into frenzy like a fish that was out of water. ¡°What kind of trashy connection is this?! Is someone downloading the game?!¡±

    Rice Cake was stunned as well. ¡°I got disconnected too!¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t go back online?¡± Gaia went online to search and became enraged. ¡°It¡¯s actually updating? Are they for real? There wasn¡¯t even a warning. The gamers were kicked out just like that! Who do they think we are?!¡±

    ¡°¡±Comin! I want toin! I am going to the Consumers¡¯ Association toin about the gamepany!¡±

    Rice Cake sighed. ¡°There¡¯s no use. This is Zhao Yao¡¯s game. No one can stop him.¡±

    At the same time, all the online sites rted to Closers World were consistently med and sted withints and scoldings fromizens and gamers. Gaia and Rice Cake joined in the uproar and posted a fewints on the official Closers World website.

    The two cats became angrier the more they thought about it. Right at that moment, the official site posted another notice.

    Rice Cake cheered with joy. ¡°There¡¯s a new notice. Zhao Yao apologized!¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the use of apologising!¡± Gaia shouted in rage. ¡°It¡¯s not his first time apologizing! It¡¯s just updating the contents of the game, adding more equipment and revival coins, adding... He¡¯s just humiliating us as if we are fools! I am going to create another Weibo ount just to bash him till he¡¯s forced to banments on his ount.¡±

    Rice Cake continued, ¡°But there¡¯spensation!¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the use ofpensation! That won¡¯t make up for the damage to my dignity. What I want is enjoyment from ying the game, not some diamonds!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s 100 diamonds!¡±

    ¡°What? 100 diamonds? When is the update going to be finished?¡±

    ...

    In Closers World, Zhao Yao nced at the rage and fury from all the gamers and nodded to himself. ¡°This should do. A hundred diamonds should be enough to cate these game losers.¡±

    He looked through some of the ragingments on social media and shook his head. He sent a message to Bai Quan and asked him to help quell the negative news online.

    Next, he proceeded to upgrade Closers World. This would increase the maximum number of yers allowed. As to exactly how much the upper limit would be increased to, it would be difficult for Zhao Yao to estimate given the iplete information he currently had. However, dispelling the negative impacts of this move and attracting more people to y the game remained Zhao Yao¡¯s main objective.

    ¡°Compared to scientific research or military reinforcements, ying more of such games might actually be of more help in boosting the status of Earth amongst the other stars in the universe.¡±

    Next, he taught Bai Quan and the rest how to handle the alien cats. After delegating all the tasks at hand, Zhao Yao started topletely speed up all of Closers World.

    Closers World quickly achieved a speed of tens of hours as equivalent to one second in the real world. He learnt all the new information about the Awareness Country as fast as he could before he started to upgrade Closers World.

    As Zhao Yao focused on learning the new information, Bai Quan, Sphynx cat and Zhao Xue remained in the Extradimensional Belly, keeping watch over the 40 alien cats.

    Bai Quan frowned slightly when he saw the message Zhao Yao sent. Zhao Xue asked anxiously, ¡°How is it? Did my brother say anything about how to deal with these alien cats?¡±

    This was Zhao Xue¡¯s first time dealing with alien cats. Despite the thrill, she was still quite nervous and her mind was still in a whirl. She would asionally imagine ridiculous scenarios in her mind.

    ¡°What the f*ck. I thought Bro asked me toe over just to have a chat... I didn¡¯t even wear my panties... How did this suddenly be an encounter with alien cats...¡±

    ¡°These alien cats are all in weird shapes and sizes... I wonder if they like catmint...¡±

    When he heard Zhao Xue¡¯s question, Bai Quan said in a hesitant and somewhat perplexed manner, ¡°Erm... Boss said that if they look like they¡¯re about to regain consciousness... Just knock them out again...¡±

    ¡°What?!¡± Zhao Xue clutched her head and started panicking as she said, ¡°What does he mean by just knock them out? These are alien cats we¡¯re talking about! How can they be so easy to deal with? Furthermore, is my brother sure that he won¡¯t incite an inter battle by doing this? What if the aliens suddenly attacked us here?!¡±

    ¡°Do aliens have a Cosmic Animals Protection Organization? Earth won¡¯t be regarded as a cat abuser, right? Will we be med for this?¡±

    ¡°What the hell is Bro doing? He left just like that without exining things properly! And just knock them out? That¡¯s too rough!!¡±

    Bai Quan said, ¡°Erm, he sent another message.¡±

    Zhao Xue replied, ¡°I knew it. There must be some other way, right?¡±

    Bai Quan said in a slightly deted tone, ¡°He said we can beat the shit out of the Furless cat but we need to be more careful with the Long Fur cats and avoid killing them.¡±

    ¡°What the f*ck!¡± Zhao Xue was caught up in a mix of anger and panic as she eximed, ¡°What does that even mean?! He might as well not have said that. What if these alien cats can¡¯t be knocked out? God knows what superpowers they have! Why didn¡¯t Zhao Yao tell us!¡±

    On the other hand, Sphynx cat lightly kicked a Long Fur cat as he stretched out his paw and caressed the cat¡¯s body. His throat rippled as he slowly said, ¡°Zhao Xue, calm down and don¡¯t panic. You¡¯re being too nervous now.¡±

    Sphynx cat¡¯s voice seemed to have some mysterious magical power in it as Zhao Xue felt herself calming down after hearing his words.

    Sphynx cat continued caressing the Long Fur cat¡¯s head as he said, ¡°About the power of Awareness, I have recently researched it in detail. Although I don¡¯t really understand his logic and the so-called structures of the high-level dimensions, at the end of the day, Awareness is still something thates from the brain.¡±

    As he said that, Sphynx cat had already lightly tapped on the head of the Long Fur cat with his finger.

    Sphynx cat, who had already figured out the strength and physical structure of the cat, delivered a non-fatal blow to the head of the cat, making the cat slip back into unconsciousness as his Awareness became scattered, rendering him unable to awaken fully.

    Right at that moment, a Long Fur cat started to breathe at a quicker pace and his heart rate increased, as though he was about to awaken. Sphynx cat immediately jumped over in a sh and gently smacked the cat¡¯s head, knocking the cat unconscious again.

    ¡°Let¡¯s just do as Zhao Yao says.¡± He cocked his head to the side and said, ¡°Just knock them all out first. Since Zhao Yao said it was feasible, he must have tested it before.¡±

    Zhao Xue and Sphynx cat watched over the alien cats while Bai Quan dealt with Closers World¡¯s bad news.

    Seeing him take countless calls, Matcha jumped on his shoulder and meowed loudly before using his cell phone to say, ¡°Bai Quan, let me help. Let me deal with these small matters.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Bai Quan was a bit worried and said, ¡°Boss is very concerned about this...¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t trust me?¡± Matcha said anxiously. ¡°I¡¯d like to help. I¡¯m studying daily and I¡¯m reasonable now.¡±

    Bai Quan said reluctantly, ¡°I¡¯ll let you handle the Weibo portion. Negotiate with theiners to delete theirments. Money is negotiable but don¡¯t spend too much...¡±

    Matcha was shocked. ¡°This is underhanded. Am I resorting to such underhanded methods now? The human world is unfathomable.¡±

    He patted his chest and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry Bai Quan. Leave it to me. I¡¯ll spend the least amount of money to settle the matter.¡±

    Bai Quan was feeling concerned as he looked at Matcha leaving. After some thoughts, he messaged Milk Tea and told him to watch over his father.

    Matcha took out his cell phone confidently and contacted Uncle Ho. ¡°Hello? Uncle Ho? A few people areining about Zhao Yao and Closers World on Weibo. Zhao Yao¡¯s upset. Go arrest them and make them delete theirments.¡±

    ¡°Too far? Not in Jianghai, you can¡¯t arrest them?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the big deal with the distance? I¡¯ll sponsor your air tickets.¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao¡¯s very unhappy. He feels that his property is not properly protected by the government...¡±

    Matcha was pleased as he kept his cell phone. ¡°Humph, I settled the matter without spending a single cent. I¡¯m such a management genius. Humph, if I were managing Cat Wondend Street and Closers World, they would already be world number one.¡±

    After everyone was busy for more than half an hour, Zhao Yao hadpleted his upgrade of Closers World.

    In the highly elerated dreamscape, he stayed for nearly ten years and learned and re-learned all the Awareness Country¡¯s skills. After verification, he upgraded Closers World.

    ¡°The current cap of Closers World is about 12 billion users and they should be sufficient to subdue those alien cats.¡±

    The 12 billion people might not be a match for the 40 alien cats in reality but after gathering their energy using the Awareness Country, they were able to subdue the cats.

    When those alien cats entered Closers World, their power would be part of Closers World, strengthening it.

    Zhao Yao activated Closers World and returned to the material realm. He ordered full publicity for the game to increase the yer count.

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought, ¡°What¡¯s the fastest way to promote a game? Use money to reward the people!¡±

    ¡°Make this announcement! All new yers will be able to participate in a lucky draw. The first prize includes making a request. The second prize is having dinner with me. The third prize is having my signed photograph...¡±

    ¡°For the next ten days, the game currency can be exchanged for cash. I¡¯m spending my money until it¡¯s used up. Help me calcte the scale and use the best publicity effect for the scale of the campaign...¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about loss. I¡¯ll transfer the money overter. I¡¯ll use all means to attract new users even if I owe billions of dors and bankrupt thepany. I¡¯ll see who dares to ask me for money!!¡±

    ¡°Hello? Are you the bank chief? I¡¯m Zhao Yao, I want to borrow thirty thousand billion US dors...¡±

    ¡°Meeting? Why do you have to have a meeting? Isn¡¯t my name worth the money? If you don¡¯t approve, I¡¯ll have a heart-to-heart talk with all of your Presidents...¡±

    ¡°What do you mean? You think I¡¯m unable to pay back? You¡¯re looking down on me? Do you know that I¡¯ve saved the Earth? What¡¯s the big deal with paying some protection fee?¡±

    ¡°Uncle Ho? I¡¯m Zhao Yao, I¡¯ve rescued the Earth and am developing forces to conquer the Milky Way. I need a few thousand billion. If you transfer the money to me, once I rule the Milky Way, I let you be the Earth¡¯s chief... You think I¡¯m joking? I¡¯m telling the truth!! S*it!¡±

    ¡°Uncle Ho, you are missing out on the chance of a lifetime. I¡¯m giving you a chance... S*it... I¡¯m not threatening the government! When did I say I¡¯m bombing...¡±

    ¡°Hello? Worldwide Insurance Group, I¡¯m asking about ident insurance. If a dead persones back to life, do I have to return the money?¡±

    ¡°Your Majesty, I know the royal family¡¯s going through difficult times but aren¡¯t we protecting the Earth together? I¡¯ll return the money that I borrowed... S*it, are you done talking, old hag? I¡¯m in a hurry as I need to call the European Union leaderster. If I don¡¯t get your money, the Earth could be gone any time...¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not destroying the Earth! I¡¯m stopping the alien cats from destroying the Earth... Yes, that¡¯s correct. I¡¯m waiting for your good news... hmm... pass your phone to your Prime Minister. I¡¯m discussing with her regarding Jianghai¡¯s investment...¡±

    ¡°No, you have to let your women go online... I don¡¯t care about your knitting tradition. From now on, I¡¯m in charge of your tradition... If youin some more, I¡¯ll destroy all the buildings in your country that are above three meters... hmm... That¡¯s the way...¡±

    ¡°Hello? XXX, you¡¯ve heard the news.

    Lift up your head to see the moon. Did you see that Zhao? Nothing, walk to the balcony to see it. I went to the moon and wrote it veryrge. You should be able to see it... hmm... you¡¯re making me blush, I¡¯m only writing words. It¡¯s not a useful skill.

    It¡¯s like this, I¡¯m in need of some money...¡±

    After a round of phone calls, Zhao Yao used his wide ¡°connections¡± and his outstanding ¡°reputation¡± to ¡°raise¡± arge sum of money for him to promote Closers World.

    Zhao Yao obtained the green light for his worldwide publicity of his game.

    As he was speaking halfway, a Furless Tribe¡¯s supercat quivered and his eyelid was about to open.

    With Time Freeze activated and deactivated, he fell unconscious once again.

    Zhao Yao looked at the dented, swollen and contused head of the supercat and urged the gamespany to start the publicity quickly.

    ¡°You have to race against time. Why do I feel I¡¯m almost beating these furless cats to death?¡±

    With active publicity by Zhao Yao, Closers World¡¯s promotion became the world¡¯s hottest news.

    As Closers World had a previous cap of 1 billion users, lots of yers were queuing to get online. With the cap raised to 12 billion, the online yer count increased rapidly.

    Every country in the world was actively promoting the game. With the generous cash rewards, the online yer count increased exponentially like a rocket.

    Zhao Yao connected one by one the awarenesses of the alien cat to Closers World. He made use of Closers World¡¯s power to subdue the alien cats.

    The was affected with the significant side effects of Closers World¡¯s promotion.

    One of them was massive investment in numerous space flight ventures.

    Zhao Yao heaved in relief after imprisoning the 40 supercats and making them y Closers World.

    Seeing them exploring Closers World, Zhao Yao smiled.

    In the elerated ten years in Closers World, he had created functions to keep the alien cats under surveince and to keep a lookout for life forms with high power of awareness in the game.

    ¡°Diana, Elizabeth, Catherine, the administration of Closers World will be your responsibility. Remember, watch over the alien cats. Don¡¯t let them escape from the Closers World.¡±

    The three Ragdoll cats nodded obediently. During this period of time, Zhao Yao had shown his power, magnanimity, strong connections and earning capability and the three cats were in awe. They admired Zhao Yao and were loyal to him.

    Zhao Yao looked at his Book.

    After adding 40 Level 60 to Level 69 elite alien cats, the evolution progress in Book improved by the dozens.

    At Level 25, Sphynx cat progressed at a moderate pace. Zhao Yao estimated that Sphynx cat could level up in half a day.

    ¡°Good.¡± Zhao Yao smile contentedly. He returned to reality and immersed himself in the smelting furnace. The Ultra Rapid Regeneration and the training superpower strengthened his body continuously.

    As his awareness slipped into Closers World, he logged Sphynx cat¡¯s ount for him to evolve. At the same time, he looked at the Book and smiled himself silly.

    ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk, 850 000 experience points. I have to n properly how to use them...¡±

    ...

    As he was pondering how to best use his experience points...

    In the Cat Wondend, Mao Mao who looked like Matcha climbed out the window andnded on the ground.

    Looking at the boundless sky and smelling the air of freedom, he started tearing.

    ¡°I¡¯m finally out of here. I, Mao Mao, have escaped!!!¡±

    As Zhao Yao and his subordinates were busy, they had let down their guard of Cat Wondend so Mao Mao found the chance to escape.

    His adjutant floret cat shouted, ¡°Boss! Stop being emotional, let¡¯s flee! They might discover and chase after us.¡±

    Mao Mao nodded and ran with his adjutant to their Cao Gang¡¯s secret hideout.

    When they returned to their base, they were shocked.

    An orange cat that looked like Mao Mao usurped his position and became the new leader.

    ¡°S*it? What¡¯s going on? Is he Matcha?¡± Mao Mao was secretly observing. ¡°No, he¡¯s not Matcha, Milk Tea nor Latte... D*mn, are orange cats that ubiquitous? Why are orange cats impersonating me?¡±

    The orange cat looked over and shouted, ¡°Who¡¯s that?¡±

    A few minutester, after being beaten, Mao Mao shed his fur and fled with his tail between his legs.

    ¡°This is infuriating! I¡¯m going to look for Zhao Yao to avenge me!¡±

    His adjutant said, ¡°Zhao Yao would know we escaped.¡±

    Mao Mao felt angrier the more he thought about it. If he knew he was going to be beaten, he would not have escaped. Why did he always encounter orange cats that looked like him?

    His adjutant hesitated and said, ¡°Boss, shall we... return?¡±

    ¡°We¡¯re well fed and we have a ce to stay in Cat Wondend. The humans licked our stinking legs and we don¡¯t have to fight over territories. That sounds like a good deal to me.¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao received thetest news feed from Doll.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, I did a basic check on the small little girl. The problem is huge.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± At the mention of the little girl from the Chaos Stronghold, Zhao perked up. ¡°What¡¯s the situation?¡±

    Doll and Zhao Yao activated their video feed. In the video, the small little girl floated in arge canister of solution while Doll¡¯s voice was heard in the background.

    ¡°Was the small little girl created by the alien cats?¡± Doll said. ¡°She is... terrifying. From all viewpoints, she;s terrifying.¡±

    ¡°She¡¯s different from humans. Her constitution¡¯s far superior to humans. She retained Lucifer superpower for more than 24 hours and there¡¯s no sign of returning the superpower. I suspect she will retain Lucifer¡¯s superpower permanently.

    Her metabolism rate¡¯s high and requires high energy consumption per second. Hence I ced her in the nutrient canister. I¡¯m afraid her lifespan¡¯s short.¡±

    ¡°Lifespan¡¯s short?¡± Zhao Yao frowned and looked at the motionless doll-like girl floating in the solution as he asked, ¡°What other information do you have?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s her mental condition,¡± Doll said. ¡°I don¡¯t know how they did it but the structure of her brain¡¯s good. However, she has no reaction to outside stimulus.¡±

    ¡°Logically, an organic experiment life form like her should be curious about the outside world or she would feel frightened but she had no reaction. My conclusion is awareness or mental problems.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a pity. Time¡¯s short... with her current metabolism rate, at most in a week... she¡¯ll reach the end of her lifespan.¡±

    Hearing Doll¡¯s sigh, Zhao Yao looked at the small little girl in the video feed and said, ¡°Do you require her for your research for the remaining time?¡±

    Doll said, ¡°l¡¯ve extracted blood and enough specimens from her. The truth be told... with my current technology, I¡¯m unable to do research on her.

    Instead of doing research on her, it¡¯s better tomunicate with her and see if we could get information from her.¡±

    ¡°Communicate with her...¡± Zhao Yao nodded and said, ¡°Do you have any way to do that?¡±

    Doll walked to little girl and looked at her head as he said, ¡°Perhaps we could think of ways to stimte her curiosity... if she¡¯s indifferent to all things, there¡¯s no way tomunicate.¡±

    Ten minutester, Matcha tied his cell phone to his head as he walked into Doll¡¯sboratory.

    The cell phone was showing the video feed of Zhao Yao¡¯s activities in Closers World.

    As Zhao Yao¡¯s body required training in the furnace and Zhao Yao had to log into the Closers World to gain evolution progress for the Book, he let Matcha bring his cell phone to the small little girl.

    Matcha walked to the front of the quarantine room and said to the girl, ¡°Hey, little girl! Zhao Yao¡¯s here to see you!¡±

    The small little girl looked at Matcha but her gaze was nk and she remained emotionless.

    Zhao Yao thought for a while and said, ¡°Matcha, let her see some videos on Dou Ying. Let me know when you are done.¡±

    Matcha essed Dou Yin on the cell phone and showed a few videos to the small girl.

    Zhao Yao asked, ¡°Did you attract her attention?¡±

    Matcha noticed the small girl gazing at the cell phone emotionlessly. He meowed and replied, ¡°No, Zhao Yao, no reaction at all.¡±

    ¡°Try showing her cartoons.¡±

    ¡°What about variety shows?¡±

    ¡°What about silly photographs? Show her your collection of silly photographs.¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°Since when do I have a collection of silly photographs?¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t there a stash in your bag of emoticons? Show her...¡±

    After trying to get her to react for half a day, the small girl still did not have any reaction. She looked at Matcha and the cell phone as though she was looking through the air and they felt hopeless.

    ¡°Normal methods are useless.¡±

    Zhao Yao pondered and said, ¡°Let Doll setup the game visor for her. Perhaps, she¡¯s more willing tomunicate in her dreams.¡±

    Momentster, the girl entered Closers World. When she saw Zhao Yao, he pulled her into the Dreams within Dreams.

    ¡°I¡¯ll let you have free reign and see what you want...¡±

    Zhao Yao entered her dreamscape which dark and empty. As he thought her mind was nk, light rays lit up.

    Numerous quarantine bags were stacked together with countless small little girls floating within them. Their eyes were closed and they were serene.

    The white-haired little girl, who was brought in by Zhao Yao, looked at the scene and smiled. She leaped gently and reached the highest quarantine bag. She squirmed into the bag, hugged her retracted legs tightly and closed her eyes serenely.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°She preferred the originalboratory environment? Is she afraid or unable to adjust to a strange environment?¡±

    ¡°As a living person, isn¡¯t she curious? Isn¡¯t she looking forward to freedom?¡±

    Zhao Yao decided to elerate the time in the dreamscape as she only had seven days of lifespan.

    He couldmunicate with her and extend her lifespan in the dreamscape using time eleration.

    Sounds were hearding below his feet.

    Two cats strolled along as they checked the small girls in the canisters.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Yes, though she had no emotion and was unwilling tomunicate she had beautiful memories of theboratory and the various characters and their conversations in the dreamscape. This is the information I would have obtained if she was able tomunicate.¡±

    Zhao Yao overheard the conversation of the two Long Fur cats.

    The ck cat said, ¡°Is 1003 activated?¡±

    The white cat said, ¡°It¡¯s too contrived. With the current usage, it¡¯ll be wasted in a month¡¯s time. It¡¯s better if we use her for research.¡±

    Zhao Yao stood beside the two cats and stroked his chin. ¡°I¡¯m able to understand them? No, this is a dreamscape and it conveys meaning instead of actual sounds. Does this mean that the small girl understood thenguage of Long Fur cats?¡±

    Both the cats proceeded up the stairs. At every level, they checked the surveince monitors and ensured everything was in order before continuing upwards.

    The ck cat checked the surveince monitors as he said, ¡°The burden on them is too great. I¡¯m afraid this batch is not going tost. We haven¡¯t mastered the critical synthesis technology.

    Both the ck and white cat vanished.

    Momentster, a group of Long Fur cats appeared in front of the white-haired girl as if they were observing and talking about her.

    ¡°How¡¯s 1002 doing?¡±

    ¡°The body statistics are stable and the condition after the synthesis is good. The awareness is sealed so there is no worry of the escape tendency of 1001.¡±

    ¡°Get ready for the next step in the n. The Blood of God is running out. Hope that we¡¯re still in time.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the group¡¯s behavior and thought, ¡°What is the Blood of God? For the Long Fur Tribe who can travel star systems and inhabit foreigns, what kind of things... have the criteria to bebelled as God?¡±

    They stopped talking for a while and vanished like mist in the dreamscape.

    Footsteps were hearding from above.

    Zhao Yao floated towards the footsteps.

    On arge surgery theater, arge meatball expanded and contracted like a pumping heart.

    A few Long Fur cats gathered around the surgery theatre and they smiled excitedly.

    ¡°Sess. The Blood of God is working.¡±

    ¡°The heartbeat¡¯s too fast! The heart¡¯s failing... No, the burden¡¯s too much!¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s a rejection reaction. He¡¯s eating her!¡±

    A few Long Fur cats operated the surgery equipment in shock. Strange equipment was stuck into the meatball as it started quivering and bleeding.

    With the shrill screams of the cats, the scene vanished like a mist.

    Zhao Yao frowned and started guessing. ¡°Are those little girls created from the Blood of God? It seems the Long Fur cats have not mastered the use of the Blood of God. What exactly is that?¡±

    ¡°ording to what they said, the small little girl is autistic. Is it due to her awareness being sealed? How did they do that?¡±

    Zhao Yao heard sounds of quarrelinging from above.

    ¡°We¡¯ve failed. The life of 1002 is failing and she won¡¯tst for long.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s do ourst bit! Unseal her awareness, perhaps she has a chance to live!¡±

    ¡°Do you know what you are saying? Did you remember how much damage was caused by 1001¡¯s escape? Humans cannot enter thisboratory and they cannot have any rted superpower. This is the difference between cats and humans. That¡¯s the baseline.¡±

    ¡°But...¡±

    ¡°No buts. Before she dies, she¡¯s still an important asset.¡±

    Zhao Yao floated past the quarreling parties and arrived at the highest level of the dreamscape. He felt a strange energy swirling in front of him and he was unable to venture deeper.

    ¡°Is that an awareness seal? Is this the energy for the seal?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Is she intentionally leading me to help her? Why didn¡¯t she tell me directly?¡±

    ¡°Dreams are the manifestation of the subconscious. Did they seal her awareness in her subconscious so that she is unable to control her body? So she led me in her dream?¡±

    Sensing the strong power of awareness blocking him, Zhao Yao waved his hand and attacked with Level 60 awareness which transformed into numerous white dragons.

    The tens of white dragons were blocked by the unknown power.

    ¡°That¡¯s a strong defense,¡± Zhao Yao thought. ¡°Is that power set up by a powerful Long Fur Tribe supercat? To separate the girl¡¯s body from her awareness? Is the awareness seal an istion of the awareness...¡±

    While pondering, Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes shot out shocking white rays. His power of awareness transformed into numerous Frost Dragons that shot towards the awareness seal.

    The dreamscape started quaking with the booming explosions of the Frost Dragons and it felt like the dreamscape was about to copse. Zhao Yao looked at the intact awareness seal and stopped his attacks.

    ¡°If I continue to attack relentlessly, her awareness might be seriously damaged.¡±

    Zhao Yao came out of the Dreams within Dreams and returned to Closers World. He pressed the small little girl¡¯s head.

    The world shook and the energy from the thin air went into Zhao Yao¡¯s body.

    Zhao Yao made use of Closers World¡¯s energy to rid the girl¡¯s body of the awareness seal.

    With 12 billion yers online, Closers World was stronger than the Short Fur Sage, Grayley. The energy could only be used within the Dreamscape and not used outside Closers World.

    Zhao Yao injected the girl with this energy and it destroyed the awareness seal within her.

    The small little girl opened her eyes widely and she started tearing up.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Hey? What... What¡¯s the matter with you?¡±

    ¡°Ah!!!¡± The small little girl jumped abruptly and cried loudly. Then sheughed and cried like a lunatic.

    Zhao Yao sighed as he looked at her run wildly in the dreamscape, crying andughing. asionally, she would sprawl on the ground and roll around. Or she would sniff around and sniffed at the fragrance of flowers and grass.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Do you understand me? When you were locked inside, do you have your five senses? Are you able to smell the outside fragrances?¡±

    The small little girl tore out strands of wild grass and ate it. As she chewed, she was moved to tears.

    Zhao Yao sighed and said, ¡°Enough, stop eating. I¡¯ll bring you to a feast.¡±

    The small little girl did not respond to Zhao Yao and continued to cry andugh. She ran around the woods in Closers World like a happy monkey.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°At least she was not locked up until she turned crazy.¡±

    After half an hour, the girl calmed down and walked to Zhao Yao. ¡°I... I...¡±

    ¡°Hmm.¡± Zhao Yao looked at the small girl and was surprised. ¡°You speak Chinese? You want to talk to me?¡±

    Seeing the girl learning how to speak, Zhao Yao tried using his power of awareness tomunicate with her but it failed.

    For no reason, the girl was abruptly shocked. From the perspective of a game administrator, Zhao Yao saw that she had discovered Closers World¡¯s panel and was essing the inte.

    A few minutester, the small girl closed the panel and looked at Zhao Yao. ¡°I¡¯m... I¡¯m Olivia!¡±

    ¡°Olivia?¡± Zhao Yao was taken aback. ¡°Wait, you know Chinese? Did you just learn it?¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡± The girl nodded earnestly. ¡°I¡¯m... very intelligent!¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and said, ¡°Do you remember the past?¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes!¡± The girl nodded incessantly. ¡°I¡¯m... I¡¯m... captured... after being discovered!¡±

    ¡°Are therades from the Cat Revolution Societying to save me?¡±

    ¡°Did we... Did we... win?¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Zhao Yao looked at the small little girl and many thoughts shed through his mind. ¡°She¡¯s a member of the Cat Revolution Society? Did she take me for a member of the society?¡±

    The girl looked in anticipation at Zhao Yao. ¡°Just now, I... that... that...¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Inte.¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes... I used the inte to see... Everyone¡¯s happy. The supercats didn¡¯t take advantage of the humans... so... so...¡± She cried as she said, ¡°Did we win?¡±

    Zhao Yao turned his head away and thought, ¡°It¡¯s not good to deceive her... but it¡¯s easier to obtain information if I do...¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Yes, we won.¡±

    Olivia smiled and sat on the ground in a rxed manner. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡±

    Zhao Yao asked her how she was caught and whether she knew about the experiments. Olivia told him everything.

    She was the deputy leader of the Cat Revolution Society and was a mole in the Long Fur Tribe. She was in charge of collecting intelligence.

    Becauserge numbers of cat ves went missing and the core area could have secret experiments on humans, Olivia sneaked into the Chaos Stronghold to investigate the truth.

    She was caught inside the core area. When experiments on her failed, the Long Fur Tribe discovered Olivia¡¯s superior constitution, DNA and potential. She was treated as an experimental human and was cloned inrge numbers.

    After she shared her experience, Olivia¡¯s speech was getting smoother. She looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Is this ce a dreamscape? Could you bring me out? How are the humans now in the real world?¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded but didn¡¯t bring her out personally as he had to stay in Closers World to gain evolution progress.

    Zhao Yao let Zhao Xue bring Olivia to the human world to take a look and Doll to keep watch on Olivia 24 hours a day so that Zhao Yao could keep tabs on Olivia as well.

    Zhao Xue looked at the small little girl as mixed feelings surged within her. ¡°What? I have to bring her shopping?¡±

    ¡°Which did Brother bring her from?¡±

    ¡°This is the first time he brought another life form besides cats...¡±

    ¡°This is the first time he brought back a girl and she¡¯s an under-aged alien little girl... This is preposterous...¡±

    ¡°Could she be his daughter? I hope not.¡±

    ¡°Am I bing an aunt?¡±

    As she was shocked by her wild imaginations, they had walked out of the Dimension Portal and arrived at the Cat Wondend Street.

    Seeing the bustling street, the small girl was shocked. She smiled and said, ¡°Are the humans developing that well?¡±

    ¡°Oh? The... The supercats can be cuddled here?¡±

    ¡°Oh!! There¡¯s a superdog too? Able to survive by eating feces?! That¡¯s awesome!!!¡±

    ¡°Everyone¡¯s a normal human... Why... why are the supercats serving the humans?¡±

    Walking in the Cat Wondend, what she saw was totally different from what she expected. She was astonished.

    She drooled at the food in the buffet restaurant managed by Midnight and the rest.

    ¡°This is delicious! What¡¯s this yellow stuff?¡±

    ¡°Salmon¡¯s awesome!¡±

    ¡°Kebab¡¯s awesome!¡±

    ¡°ypot Rice is awesome!¡±

    Oliviaid contented on the sofa and said, ¡°The humans have discovered so many delicacies. I used to eat what the supercats ate and their food was not outstanding...¡±

    ¡°Oh? That much clothing?¡±

    ¡°These... could I wear these?¡±

    ¡°This, this... is too revealing!¡±

    Walking in the zoo and observing the various animals, Olivia had mixed feelings. She felt contented but worried at the same time.

    ¡°The current humans... have be what the supercats used to be?¡±

    ¡°Imprisoning other animals in cages...¡±

    ¡°This is... awesome...¡±

    Zhao Xue looked at Olivia and felt that she was unusually mellow.

    In the next few days, Olivia went shopping with Zhao Xue during the day and returned to the Cat Wondend at night. Then she entered Closers World and told Zhao Yao about her experiences.

    She liked to frequent ces with lots of people. She would eat and observe the passers-by on the streets. Even if she was idling, she would be happy.

    Zhao Xue sat by her side and looked curiously at the street as she said, ¡°Is it alright to sit here? I heard... you only have a few days of lifespan... Don¡¯t you want to do something else?¡±

    Olivia shook her head and looked contentedly at the passers-by on the streets. She said, ¡°Seeing the humans living without worrying about survival, war, being eaten and put to death... I¡¯m already happy.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t you... want to live a bit longer? I heard from my brother, if time¡¯s elerated in the dreamscape...¡±

    Olivia shook her head and creases appeared on her forehead. s will die off, the sun will be extinguished and the universe will end one day.

    Humans are unable to escape from death. Before dying, I have managed to see the results of my struggle and the human race is full of hope. I am luckier than my predecessors who have passed on.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯d like to tell them the results...¡±

    Zhao Xue discovered that Olivia was aging perceptibly. Creases appeared on her face and she had aged by ten years.

    ¡°You!¡± Zhao Xue messaged the girl¡¯s condition to Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Okay, that¡¯s normal. Her body¡¯s aging rapidly... until her death.¡±

    Zhao Xue bit her lip and said with concern, ¡°Do you want to rest for a while?¡±

    Olivia smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m feeling tired, Zhao Xue. Shall we take a look at the schools tomorrow? I¡¯ve seen the humans learning about knowledge in schools. Is that real?¡±

    On the second day, two of them walked through Jianghai University¡¯s campus. Olivia looked visibly frail but she smiled at the university students.

    ¡°It¡¯s a good ce. Previously, only cat ves were allowed to learn and they had to have permission from the supercats...¡± Olivia looked at the rows of undergraduates studying in the library and said pleased, ¡°Are normal people able to learn anything they want?¡±

    Zhao Xue looked at several students who were ying with their cell phones and said ,¡±Yes, they can learn anything they want.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s good,¡± Olivia said. ¡°You are much better than us.¡± She massaged her forehead and squinted her eyes as she said, ¡°Could you help me contact Zhao Yao? I would like to speak to him.¡±

    Half an hourter, the frail looking Olivia returned to Cat Wondend. She put on the game visor and got ready to enter Closers World.

    She carried Matcha in her arms and cuddled Matcha¡¯s head. Matcha said angrily, ¡°Who¡¯s this olddy?! Why is she touching me without paying? Zhao Xue, aren¡¯t you taking care of her? She had been sponging on us for several days!¡±

    Olivia looked at Matcha and said, ¡°Apologies, I¡¯ve never cuddled a cat to my heart¡¯s content before. Humans and cats can live in harmony... I never expected this.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± Matcha turned his head and said, ¡°You can speak with me?¡± Olivia had closed her eyes as she slipped into Closers World.

    ...

    On the boundless ins in Closers World, Zhao Yao looked at Olivia and said, ¡°You¡¯re looking for me?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve seen your world...¡± Olivia was moved as she said, ¡°I¡¯m no longer worried about the future.¡±

    Seeing the medical report of Olivia sent by Doll, Zhao Yao thought for a while and said, ¡°Actually...¡±

    ¡°You want to say that you are not a member of the Cat Revolution Society? I already knew that.¡± Olivia smiled and said, ¡°You are also human, that¡¯s good enough. Even if you aren¡¯t a member of the society or are part of the enemy trying to destroy the society... You¡¯re good if you¡¯re human.¡±

    Zhao Yao was taken aback and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t know you were thinking badly of me. I¡¯m not an enemy of the society. I¡¯ve found a way to revive you if you¡¯re willing.¡±

    Olivia did not ept his offer. She looked at Zhao Yao and waved her hand. ¡°The future does not belong to me. Let me have a good rest.¡±

    ¡°But...¡±

    ¡°I have no choice...¡± Olivia exined. ¡°I¡¯m about to be eaten by him. It¡¯s unbearable. I would like to see more of your world but I¡¯m unable to hold on anymore...¡±

    As Zhao Yao was about to speak, Olivia pointed her finger and a bright spot floated towards him.

    ¡°This is my current feeling.¡±

    Zhao Yao was taken aback. He touched the bright spot and absorbed it. He felt a sharp paining from his awareness and he almost fainted.

    The sharp pain was short-lived and it vanished quickly.

    Zhao Yao looked amazed at Olivia and said, ¡°You are bearing all this pain? Strange, why didn¡¯t the Ultra Rapid Regeneration work?¡±

    ¡°Are you referring to the regeneration superpower in my body?¡± Olivia said, ¡°Because this is not a wound...¡±

    Zhao Yao recalled when Olivia¡¯s awareness was being sealed, her body relied on her instincts to operate. She returned to the quarantine bag in theboratory once she entered her dream.

    He thought Olivia¡¯s subconscious mind was leading him in the dreamscape to inform him of theboratory. But he concluded that it was not that simple.

    ¡°You are being eaten. What does it mean?¡±

    Hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s question, Olivia was terrified. ¡°I don¡¯t know anything about the Blood of God.

    Ever since its blood was injected into my body, it has been digesting my body and awareness...¡±

    She looked at her palm and said softly, ¡°I¡¯m no longer the real me.¡±

    Olivia could not help hugging her head. ¡°The Long Fur Tribe has opened Pandora¡¯s box. This does not belong to humans or cats. It¡¯s something more sinister, terrifying and unfathomable...¡± She opened both her eyes that had be dark orbs.

    Zhao Yao was shocked by her appearance and said, ¡°Is there any solution? Is it a leeching power?¡±

    ¡°No, he¡¯s spreading through my body¡¯s energy. I can feel that it¡¯s one of his tentacles. The Blood of God is only giving an indication of his power.¡±

    Olivia said, ¡°I can feel that he¡¯s in a distant ce digesting me... and making me part of him. Even if removed temporarily, he can still contact me.¡±

    Olivia shook her head and said, ¡°Even the Long Fur Tribe were helpless to stop him. They could only dy him. We are at our wits end.¡±

    Olivia lifted her head and said in terror, ¡°Did you hear that?¡±

    Zhao Yao was puzzled. ¡°Hear what?¡±

    ¡°Voices, he¡¯s speaking into my ears.¡± Olivia covered her ears and started breaking down. ¡°Stop! Stop! Stop shouting! Don¡¯t shout anymore!!!¡±

    Seeing Olivia¡¯s unstable condition, Zhao Yao frowned. Doll sent a message that said, ¡°Zhao Yao! Something¡¯s wrong with Olivia,e out and take a look!¡±

    Zhao Yao cut off Olivia¡¯s connection and returned to the material realm. Olivia sprawled on the ground. Her face and arms were covered with a thickyer of fur while her eyes were so huge as though they were popping out. Her pupils had be a dark slit and they gazed as Zhao Yao.

    She squirmed under the office table and trembled as she said, ¡°Zhao Yao, don¡¯t look at me. I¡¯m alright...¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned as she did not look alright, especially when an indicator with Level ??? appeared above her head. He had bad feelings about this.

    After borrowing Lucifer¡¯s superpower, she had Level 25 above her head.

    Zhao Yao took out his +13 Dragon ying Saber and walked slowly towards the table. ¡°Olivia? Are you alright?¡±

    Olivia said in a panicked voice, ¡°I¡¯m alright... Don¡¯te near me Zhao Yao...¡± She pleaded, ¡°Please! I don¡¯t want people to see me like this.¡±

    Zhao Yao gripped the saber tightly and walked to the table as he said, ¡°Olivia, let me help you. You know I have lots of supercats. One of them should have a superpower that can help you.¡±

    Olivia said, ¡°It¡¯s no use Zhao Yao. Let me hide and end all this suffering in peace. I don¡¯t want to suffer anymore...¡±

    Zhao Yao activated Time Freeze and ran to the front of Olivia. He was shocked.

    Olivia¡¯s body was full of multi-colored fur andrge portions of her skin was rotting. Blood was dripping from her rotting flesh.

    Her face had be longer and slimmer. Her nostrils were exposed like a cat¡¯s face. She looked like a cross-bred cat with skin diseases.

    ¡°How did she be like this?¡± Zhao Yao thought for a while before shing her a hundred times. He cut off her fur and deactivated Time Freeze.

    ...

    In the Extradimensional Belly, Matcha, who felt the Time Freeze, was shocked. ¡°Did Zhao Yao activate Time Freeze? Is he fighting again?¡±

    ¡°Where¡¯s Lucifer?¡±

    ¡°Lucifer, where are you?¡±

    He ran around looking for Lucifer during the Time Freeze but in vain. He continued looking until time resumed.

    ¡°I have no choice...¡± Matcha looked at Sphynx cat, Ares, Dust Ball, Lightning and Caesar. After considering for half a second, he pressed on Caesar¡¯s head and said, ¡°Bro, it¡¯s not personal. You¡¯re the most vulnerable cat right now.¡±

    Caesar was shocked.

    Matcha bit on Caesar and climbed on his back. He pummeled Caesar in a frenzy to reduce the cooling down period of Time Freeze.

    ...

    After being shed by the Dragon ying Saber, Olivia screamed and fell to the ground.

    Zhao Yao sighed and took out his cell phone. He messaged to Doll, ¡°Take Olivia away and check her condition.¡±

    As Zhao Yao was looking at his cell phone and contacting Doll...

    Olivia opened her eyes and the corners of her lips ripped open, showing an exaggerated smile. Her body exploded and countless drops of blood sttered on Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s constitution was breaking limits every day due to his furnace¡¯s training.

    He had already activated the Deflection Field the moment Olivia exploded and the blood were stopped outside the shield.

    The blood hit against the Deflective Field and dripped down, forming a human figure. It looked as though a human had been crushed underneath the Deflective Field.

    Zhao Yao looked gravely at the human figure that was distorting continuously to form a mysterious smiling face. It looked like Olivia¡¯s cat face.

    The cat face smiled and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, didn¡¯t I say I¡¯m alright? I feel better already. Aren¡¯t I pretty?¡±

    Zhao Yao manipted the Deflective Field to engulf the blood figure and said grimly, ¡°Olivia, you¡¯re sick.¡±

    ¡°Sick? No, I never felt this good before. Did you hear that?¡± Olivia said happily, ¡°It¡¯s God¡¯s voice! He¡¯s watching me and giving me blessings!¡±

    ck rays lit up on Olivia¡¯s body and Zhao Yao felt a strong threat. He backed up rapidly and bolted out of the office in a sh.

    Olivia transformed into a dark light ball and vanished with half of the office¡¯s objects into the thin air.

    Zhao Yao looked at the prior position of Olivia grimly. ¡°It¡¯s simr to the self-destruction of Cmity... The Blood of God, what exactly is that?¡±

    Olivia¡¯s body vanished without any ashes and Zhao Yao was not able to revive her using the Door of Evesting Life. The body was required for reviving.

    Zhao Yao felt a strong threat in the strange way that Olivia died. In the following days, Zhao Yao trained his body in the furnace while he logged into Closers World and nned how to use his 850 000 experience points.

    After much consideration, Zhao Yao came up with a n for how to use the experience points.

    Zhao Yao trained his body 24 hours every day in the smelting furnace and the Steel Body superpower strengthened his constitution. Doll had adjusted the temperature to 10 000 degrees celsius to bnce the damage and regeneration Zhao Yao¡¯s body was going through.

    With the strengthening of his body, the Deflective Field, which could transmute his body¡¯s power, became more powerful in terms of physical attacks and defense.

    ¡°With training my body as a foundation, Ultra Rapid Regeneration and Superpower Resistance have increased my survivability while the Deflective Field and my strong constitutionplement each other to increase my attack and defense capabilities.¡±

    ¡°With the Dimension Portals, Time Freeze, and the Dragon ying Saber, I could attack or defend with ease. These are my strongest attack capabilities.¡±

    ¡°To be stronger, I have to spend my experience points on my attack capabilities to improve them.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Closers World¡¯s surveince modules that showed the alien cats¡¯ conditions in the game.

    ¡°I¡¯m only able to use two superpowers at the same time. The greatest improvement to my power is Sphynx cat¡¯s training. It won¡¯t lower mybat capability when I switch superpowers.¡±

    ¡°As forpatible superpowers, if only I could make use of the alien cats¡¯ superpowers to strengthen my body...¡±

    ¡°Would it make a difference if I contracted those alien cats using the Book? If that¡¯s not possible, I can use the Cat Prince Costume to borrow their training superpowers.¡±

    Zhao Yao used 10 000 experience points to upgrade the Book to Level 9. He discovered he was unable to contract the alien cats as he was only able to contract Earth¡¯s supercats.

    ¡°Why is Book only able to contract Earth¡¯s cats? Is it because both of them originated from Earth? It¡¯s fortunate I¡¯m able to use the Cat Prince Costume.¡±

    Zhao Yao was dejected but heforted himself as he had a good choice for the supercat he would contract from Earth.

    ¡°Roly Poly... or more appropriately Project X.¡±

    As Zhao Yao could not contract alien cats, his first choice was Project X so he could have Project X¡¯s superpower learning ability and hisbat power would improve by leaps and bounds.

    As he had sufficient experience points, it was alright if he made mistakes.

    Zhao Yao got hold of Roly Poly and let Roly Poly bite him. Roly Poly was moved as he looked at Book¡¯s description of his superpower.

    Roly Poly looked at Zhao Yao without his previous decadent stare and said excitedly, ¡°Zhao Yao, are you upgrading my power? I¡¯ve been waiting for this day!¡±

    Project X was doubtful and he said, ¡°What are you talking about?¡±

    Roly Poly was pleased and said, ¡°Do you know why Matcha, Elizabeth and Diana have be stronger? It¡¯s because of Zhao Yao! Every time Zhao Yao lets other supercats bite him, they¡¯ll be stronger!¡±

    Project X said, ¡°Oh?¡±

    ¡°Hahahaha. I¡¯m bing stronger and then I¡¯ll evolve. I¡¯ll reach the top and rule the world!¡±

    Zhao Yao was disappointed as he did not have Project X¡¯s superpower. Instead, he only had Roly Poly¡¯s improved invisibility. It was like he expected super rare card but only got a normal one. He felt he was not in the best of luck.

    Zhao Yao decided not to upgrade Roly Poly. ¡°I¡¯ll let Roly Poly remain at Level 1 as his superpower is already sufficient. If only I could break down...¡±

    After upgrading Book and contracting the ninth supercat, Zhao Yaopleted his mission and obtained 20 000 experience points.

    ¡°I¡¯ll use the experience points to improve the Cat Prince Costume as my two previous ns failed.¡± He decided to use the experience points for improvement of his equipment.

    ¡°After improving the Cat Prince Costume, it will increase my defenses and constitution. I¡¯ll improve it right now.¡±

    Cat Prince Costume +7: Defense increases by 70%, constitution increases by 40%, ability to absorb superpower +1, Level 60 cap.

    Looking at the description of the Cat Prince Costume, Zhao Yao used 100 000 experience points in exchange for an Improvement Hammer. This ensured that the equipment would not be damaged if the attempt failed. He used the Improvement Hammer on the Cat Prince Costume.

    The improvement was sessful!

    Cat Prince Costume +8: Defense increases by 80%, constitution increases by 50%, ability to absorb superpower +1, Level 60 cap.

    Zhao Yao was pleased as he got a good start.

    He pped another Improvement Hammer on the Cat Prince Costume.

    The improvement failed!

    Zhao Yao sighed and used another 100 000 experience points to exchange for an Improvement Hammer.

    Zhao Yao used up 700 000 experience points to exchange for Improvement Hammers and improved the costume ten times. The Cat Prince Costume increased to +11 and the Level cap was increased to Level 80.

    Cat Prince Costume +11: Defense increases by 110%, constitution increases by 80%, ability to absorb superpower +1, Level 80 cap..

    When Zhao Yao returned to the material realm, he felt the increase in his constitution and defenses.

    He went to Cat Ind to test out his power. He blew gently and a strong gale was created. The nearby woods howled and the trees and leaves shook violently from the gale.

    Then hey down in the smelting furnace and discovered that the 10 000 degrees celsius furnace was not sufficient for his training needs. He got Doll to raise the temperature.

    ¡°The Cat Prince Costume can borrow Level 80 superpower. I¡¯ll borrow the superpowers from those alien cats.¡±

    After using up all his experience points, Zhao Yao focused on training his body while he logged on to Closers World for Book to evolve. He continued to improve his potential andbat prowess.

    He forced Grayley¡¯s brother, Whiteley, to lend him his superpower. That was how Zhao Yao had obtained Level 67 awareness instead of his previous Level 60 awareness.

    He also used the Cat Prince Costume to borrow Level 69 Blood of Evolution from the Furless cats.

    ...

    Zhao Yao spent the next half month to train himself to improve hisbat prowess.

    In a Jianghai building, a few figures appeared from thin air. Three men and two women looked at the bustling city as theymunicated via their awareness.

    A scar-faced youth sneered and said, ¡°Is this the Zhao Yao¡¯s on? Humph, the humans are living a good life. I¡¯d like to see them struggle under the paws of the supercats.¡±

    The leader, a woman with green hair, said, ¡°Our main target¡¯s Zhao Yao. Do not create unnecessary trouble.¡±

    ¡°Disable him once you encounter him. He has the superpower of a Cat Sage. You¡¯ve to use full effort to deal with him. Don¡¯t let him escape.¡±

    The scar-faced youthughed sinisterly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, he can¡¯t escape. I¡¯ll seal the Awareness Dimension. Humph, If not for the interference of Bai Yueguang, I would have captured him. We can¡¯t afford to let such a person do what he wants.¡±

    Upon hearing what the scarred face teenager said, Nasha shook her head. ¡°Do not belittle him. If he was able to gain Grayley¡¯s trust, he is not weak.¡±

    ¡°So what if he is not weak?¡± The scarred face teenagerughed. ¡°He has left the Short Fur Tribe for so many days, he no longer has the powers given by Grayley. How can he fight us?¡±

    Nasha thought about it and felt like she might be overthinking. She said, ¡°Just be careful. Take action if you find the opportunity and don¡¯t give him a chance to retaliate.¡±

    The soldiers in the Cat Revolution Society were skilled in ambush, spying and assassinations. Most of the time they were fighting a species war so they also do not have a sense of honor and dignity. When theynded on earth to catch Zhao Yao, they did not n to fight openly, but through an ambush.

    Then, the metal armor on the five of them started to spread and they were soon covered in it.

    The Cat Revolution Society had stolen the technology from the Long Fur Tribe and used it to develop the armor. It could enhance many capabilities of the wearer and it was also capable of flight, invisibility and the ability to withstand space.

    Then, the armor changed its shape again and entered invisibility mode. Earth¡¯s technology was unable to detect their existence.

    After preparing the armor, the five of them flew across the city and towards Cat Wondend Street.

    The five of them were apostles from Cat Revolution Society. They were here to bring away Zhao Yao and then recruit Earth as one of their new strongholds.

    After all, it was a with billions of humans, countless apostles and supercats. It had developed technology and infrastructure. It had huge potential for war.

    Many authorities from the Cat Revolution Society agreed that after iming Earth, it would boost the Cat Revolution Society¡¯s strength for the next couple of years.

    Bai Yueguang and his party were strongly against the idea, however, due to the sudden changes in the three tribes, they had to give in. They had to gather all the resources they could to guarantee humans interest in the next conflict.

    Nasha was leading a team of three guys and one girl and theynded on Earth with such intentions.

    They remained invisible and entered Cat Wondend. However, they could not find Zhao Yao.

    The scarred face ¡®Lei¡¯ asked, ¡°What do we do? He is not here?¡±

    ¡°Wait.¡±

    Nasha hadpleted many assassination missions before and had lots of patience. They squatted on the rooftop and remained invisible while activating the armor¡¯s hibernation mode.

    She said in themunication device, ¡°Be patient. ording to our intel, this is his base and he is very concerned about the construction here. We will ambush him here. He wille.¡±

    The others nodded their heads. With the five of them ambushing here, even if Zhao Yao still had Grayley¡¯s powers he would also be injured heavily. Not to say now.

    ...

    In the churning liquid metal, there wererge amounts of iron, carbon, aluminum, tinum and all the other metals. They were melted and boiling as the air was filled with evaporated metal.

    The air traveled through a tube, cooled down and liquefied. They returned back into the room.

    Zhao Yao was lying inside the metal making furnace.

    The temperature kept on increasing as Zhao Yao stayed inside. Doll was increasing it and the metal soon became a building that was a dozen meters tall. Zhao Yao, who was in the center was constantly surrounded by metal vapor and sma gas.

    The temperature around his body had exceeded 15 thousand degree Celsius, he was withstanding the sma mes every moment.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s figure could no longer be seen in the hot sma. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of metal gas that was at least tens of thousand degree Celsius. He spat it out and his mouth burnt.

    Soon, the parts that were damaged were regenerated and it brought about an amazing feeling.

    Meanwhile, the cells inside and outside his body were evolving. The surface of his skin was withstanding the high temperature and he even evolved organs that could absorb the heat.

    His organs were tightening, distorting and changing their structure to fight against the high temperature and poisonous metallic gas.

    His bones, bone marrow, and cells were changing as they melted again and again from the heat. The percentage of calcium was lowering and itbined to form another substance that could resist the heat and heat waves.

    His eyes, ears and all other organs were also changing to adapt to the new situation Zhao Yao was in...

    It was the power of the Furless Tribe ¡®Evolution Blood¡¯. It could help the person adapt to their external conditions by changing the body ordingly.

    As long as he continued to do one action repeatedly, his power would get stronger.

    Under Zhao Yao was a ce where the temperature was slightly lower. That was where the liquid metals that were a few thousand degree Celsius pooled and Bai Quan was in it.

    His physical body was slightly weaker than Zhao Yao and hence he had to stay in a slightly lower temperature. He was also enhancing his physical body, however, he had to go out to borrow Ultra Rapid Regeneration. Hence, it was less efficient than Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Aye, this is too tough. I have to resist temptation that is stronger than taking drugs all the time. If I was an ordinary human, I would have be addicted. Good thing that I have a strong will.¡±

    Zhao Yao tried to feel his body¡¯s condition and after checking that all was well, he left his physical body there and entered Closers World with his awareness.

    He contacted Doll. ¡°There is no problem with the new built room. Maintain it and when my body gets used to it, continue to increase the temperature.¡±

    Doll: ¡°Uncle Ho is against it. I heard that Jianghai¡¯s electricity has been cut very frequently...¡±

    Zhao Yao: ¡°Doll, did you steal electricity? Who asked you to steal it? Can¡¯t you generate electricity?¡±

    Doll: ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask me to...¡±

    Zhao Yao: ¡°Go built a generator for this.¡±

    Doll looked at the phone that Zhao Yao hung up on him through and scolded, ¡°Generate electricity? You are not providing me with any materials and you expect me to generate electricity?¡±

    After contacting Doll, Zhao Yao looked at the Book. Sphynx cat¡¯s evolution was increasing.

    After half a month of crazy evolution, Zhao Yao not only had amazingly strong physical abilities, Sphynx cat¡¯s level has also reached Lv46. Although there were not much of an increase physically, his superpower resistance had reached 46%, which was scary.

    ¡°It was very tough.¡± Zhao Yao was controlling the console in Closers World and in front of him was the screen. They were connected to the Closers World¡¯s server and console in the real world for Zhao Yao to enjoy in Closers World.

    ¡°Aye, I am leveling up everyday. It is so tough.¡±

    Diana floated out from the void of space and looked at Zhao Yao. ¡°Zhao Yao, do you want to help? Everyone is unsatisfied with Closers World¡¯s new update. They say that the new bosses are too hard to fight.¡±

    Zhao Yao was angry. ¡°Can¡¯t you see that I am leveling up?¡±

    Diana looked at the game on the screen. ¡°But, you...¡±

    Zhao Yao. ¡°Don¡¯t you know that it is very tough to level up? Why am I working so hard? It is all to protect you guys! Protect the earth!¡±

    Diana wasining in her heart. ¡°... Aren¡¯t you just ying games in Closers World... and you even cleared the level of the Cousin, Elves, and Zelda.¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed. ¡°Why can¡¯t anyone understand my hard work?

    Furthermore, I have handed the operations of Closers World over to you guys, if nothing major happens do not disturb me!

    Isn¡¯t it just a fewins? Just forbid thements, if they scold the game then ban their ounts. If there really are a lot of people in that roleining that the role is too weak, then just increase the attack by 5%.

    If all the roles areining then pretend to update. After that, give them 100 diamonds. Can¡¯t you guys deal with such simple stuff?¡±

    Diana was speechless. ¡°Okay.¡±

    ¡°Oh ya, ask Matcha to download Ancient Sword 3 and upload it to the Closers World¡¯s server. Erm... I am going to be patriotic.¡±

    Diana: ¡°Chey...¡±

    Seeing Diana leave, Zhao Yao suddenly release the console andy on the grass.

    ¡°Aye, it is so tiring to level up. I haven¡¯t slept in two weeks. It is making me dizzy.¡±

    ...

    On Cat Wondend Street, Thunder, who was squatting on the rooftop, said, ¡°Captain, why hasn¡¯t the guye out yet? Should we...¡±

    Nasha: ¡°Don¡¯t startle him.¡±

    Two dayster.

    Thunder: ¡°Captain, a bird made a nest on my head...¡±

    Nasha: ¡°Let it.¡±

    Another two days passed.

    One pink haired member said, ¡°Captain, are we going to carry on waiting like this? When they gave us this task, they asked us toplete it fast...¡±

    Nasha: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I have been keeping this¡¯s inte under surveince. As long as hees out, even if he is not here, I will know. I don¡¯t believe that he won¡¯te out.¡±

    Five dayster, Nasha yelled, ¡°What is this guy doing? Doesn¡¯t hee out for fresh air!¡±

    Thunder: ¡°Then, what do we do? Continue to wait?¡±

    ¡°No more waiting!¡± Nasha¡¯s gaze glistened coldly. ¡°Thunder, control the people on this street to create chaos. We will lure him out.¡±

    Half an hourter, there was a gang fight on Cat Wondend Street. Even the police lost control and they had to dispatch the apostles to knock people unconscious.

    Nasha smiled. ¡°As a leader, he will have to appear if such things happen on his territory. Everyone take your positions, when Zhao Yao appears, we will take action.¡±

    ...

    In Closers World, Zhao Yao was hugging the console and Matcha ran over. ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! There are people creating chaos on Cat Wondend Street! Even the apostles are activated!¡±

    Zhao Yao: ¡°Are there any deaths?¡±

    ¡°N... no.¡±

    ¡°Then isn¡¯t that fine? Don¡¯t disturb me if there is nothing important. Can¡¯t you see that I am leveling up?¡±

    ...

    One dayter, on Cat Wondend Street.

    Nasha¡¯s face fell. ¡°He still hasn¡¯te out? Looks like Zhao Yao is more cautious than we imagined. No wonder he made it to where he is. He is so cunning. I am afraid that it is not going to be easy to ambush him.¡±

    Thunder: ¡°Captain, I have been looking for information online. I heard that Zhao Yao loves money, maybe we can try that.¡±

    ¡°Naive,¡± Nasha said, ¡°As the strongest person on Earth, everyone on Earth is his toy. He can get anything he wants. Why would he love money? It is just useless people ndering him.¡±

    Thunder thought about it and felt like it made sense. Hence he asked, ¡°Then, what do we do now?¡±

    Nasha thought about it and said, ¡°Since he didn¡¯t appear for the gang fight, then let¡¯s make it more serious. Thunder, create a big scale fainting incident. Make everyone that enter this ce unconscious.¡±

    Soon, there was an eerie silence on Cat Wondend Street. Everyone started fainting one by one and was in deep sleep.

    The situation soon caught the attention of the public and the police, firefighters, doctors and media were all rushing to Cat Wondend.

    However, the situation did not get better. Cat Wondend became a dead city and everyone that had entered had fainted.

    The authorities soon realized that it was a superpower attack. They sent out apostles, but they still failed.

    ...

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao walked out from the training room and stretched his neck. There was a loud cracking sound that sounded like steel columns knocking against each other.

    Doll had asked him toe out.

    ¡°Only the alien cats dare toe to my territory to cause trouble. Who else?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes were cold.

    Then, he used Cat Prince Costume, changed to Lv67 awareness energy and Time Freeze.

    ¡°I can try my physical strengths now.¡±

    Zhao Yao moved and then it brought about a ten meter wave rushing towards Cat Wondend.

    After training for a few days, Zhao Yao¡¯s abilities improved again and his physical abilities were unfathomable. He was at least a dozen times more powerful than before.

    With the Cat Prince Costume, his defense increased to 110% and physical abilities increased to 80%.

    Zhao Yao felt that if he were to punch down, he could crack the entire Cat Ind.

    Sphynx cat¡¯s level had also increased during those few days and it reached Lv51. His superpower resistance had improved from 50% to 51%.

    He stepped gently on the ocean surface and the sea around him sank. The water around him flew up and fell down like heavy rain.

    Zhao Yao broke through theyers of mist and he swept across the ocean and city like a tornado. He used a dozen of minutes and arrived at Cat Wondend Street. Hended and the cement and gravel sputtered out.

    He looked around at the crowd lying on the floor and the police and firefighters who were in the distance. They blocked off Cat Wondend.

    Zhao Yao walked around Cat Wondend Street.

    Thunder was surprised. ¡°Captain, do we take action?¡±

    In themunication device, Nasha said, ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous, the invisibility function on our armor is very advanced. Even the Long Fur Tribe can¡¯t detect us, neither will he.

    When he gets closer, we will take action.¡±

    Then, there was a breeze and Nasha turned her head. She saw Zhao Yao in front of her and he said coldly. ¡°The few of you are disturbing my practice.¡±

    With the sudden appearance of Zhao Yao, Nasha opened her eyes widely as her heartbeat quickened.

    She calmed down quickly and many thoughts shed through her mind. ¡°How could it be? How did he discover me? With my invisibility module, most people should be unable to detect me... Should I attack? Or wait for a while?¡±

    As Nasha was thinking hard, Zhao Yao looked at therge Level 71 indicator and said grimly, ¡°Are you treating me like a blind person...¡±

    As he was walking around Cat Wondend Street, he could clearly see five invisible figures with level indicators.

    The highest level was the Level 71 in front of him. The rest were between Level 60 to Level 65.

    As Zhao Yao spoke, he pushed his palm into Nasha¡¯s breast with a loud thud.

    Nasha flew back as though she was hit by a spaceship and she crashed into the nearby mall.

    With thetest Cat Revolution Society¡¯s mecha protection and her constitution that had been strengthened several times, the attack from Zhao Yao was not able to defeat her.

    After the loud booming crash, Nasha pushed off the cement, bricks and steel columns from her as she shouted into hermunication set, ¡°Attack!¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at therge hole created by Nasha and he became furious.

    ¡°Do you know how much money I spent on the mall...¡±

    Before Zhao Yao finished his sentence, arge figure roared and charged in front of him.

    The figure with ten meters of domineering height created swirling winds that bore down on Zhao Yao¡¯s body. The surrounding gravel stones were blown out like bullets.

    Roar!

    Therge figure bellowed as fists asrge as trucks pummeled Zhao Yao.

    Among the group of five, Nasha and the scar-faced youth, Thunder, possessed the Furless Tribe¡¯s Awareness Distortion.

    For the remaining three persons, a man possessed the Furless Tribe¡¯s Blood of Evolution while the other man and woman possessed the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s Material Breakdown.

    The man with Blood of Evolution transformed into a giant and attacked Zhao Yao with hundred thousand tons of force.

    ¡°D*mn if you roar again...¡±

    Zhao Yao kicked with his leg. His Deflective Field brought alongyers of distorted air as the legnded on the giant¡¯s chest with a weight of a million tons.

    Pom! The giant flew out without a chance to defend himself and crashed into arge mall. In the ensuing crumbling noises, he destroyed numerous roof tops, floors and counters...

    S*it! Zhao Yao felt his heart bleeding when he witnessed the damage. ¡°D*mn... Don¡¯t roar so loudly if you don¡¯t have the power. You can¡¯t even withstand a kick of mine?¡±

    Nasha and Thunder attacked using their Awareness Distortion and two streams of awareness flowed towards Zhao Yao¡¯s mind like the turbulent Yangtze River.

    The scar-faced youth screamed in pain as his superpower was reflected by Zhao Yao¡¯s Superpower Resistance. He did not control Zhao Yao. Instead, he was controlled by Zhao Yao and he looked nkly at Zhao Yao, waiting for his order.

    Nasha¡¯s awareness slipped into Zhao Yao¡¯s consciousness and she shouted, ¡°I¡¯ve controlled him! Finish him off!¡±

    Zhao Yao stood motionless as the remaining man and woman shed while their mecha armor spat out furious streams of jet me behind. They appeared next to Zhao Yao.

    They attacked like a pincer as they activated their Material Breakdown. The surrounding ground transformed into swirling dust while Zhao Yao¡¯s body emitted white mist as his body broke down.

    The man and woman with Material Breakdown gasped in shock.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with his body??! It¡¯s too sturdy...¡±

    ¡°With this speed, we can¡¯t harm him unless we spend an hour...¡±

    Zhao Yao turned his head to look at the man in the mecha suit. Zhao Yao extended his palm and touched his head lightly.

    The man shouted, ¡°Captain! What¡¯s going on? He¡¯s still moving!¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Nasha emitted her power of awareness but Zhao Yao¡¯s palm was still approaching her teammate.

    ¡°What kind of a monster is he? He¡¯s able to use his power of awareness to resist when he¡¯s under control of the Awareness Distortion?¡±

    Nasha thought that Zhao Yao was struggling to resist her control while Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Slow and steady. Use less force. Use less energy. The building¡¯s going to copse...¡±

    Zhao Yao had activated Awareness Backup to avoid being controlled by Nasha.

    Zhao Yao extended his hand carefully in front of the man and flicked his index finger lightly. Like a shot from the electromaic gun on board a space cruiser, the man was hit and he sunk deeply into the cement ground while his brain was knocked out from the concussion.

    ¡°Hmm, this level of force¡¯s just right as only the ground¡¯s damaged... It¡¯s good that the government¡¯s in charge of repairing the roads.¡±

    Seeing Zhao Yao extend his hand towards the remaining woman, Nasha roared angrily as her power of awareness surged and transformed into millions of light swords that took aim at Zhao Yao.

    The ck level skill¡ªLightsaber Formation.

    The Lightsabers appeared from thin air and umted to tens of thousands. Every saber was able to sh on the opponent¡¯s awareness so that he would be unable to focus his awareness.

    In the next instant, Nasha¡¯s body was covered by the shadow of Zhao Yao.

    ¡°You¡¯re that close to me and you dared to use such treacherous skill?¡±

    Zhao Yao pointed his finger on Nasha¡¯s head and she knelt on the ground as though she was bearing the weight of the mountains. Then her body bore down on the ground and smashed through severalyers of the floor before shended in the lowest level of the underground car park.

    Nasha was knocked out from a concussion.

    Roar! A pair ofrge hands broke through the outer wall of the mall and smashed through numerous walls, counters and steel columns as they grabbed Zhao Yao.

    ¡°S*it! You aren¡¯t giving up?¡±

    Zhao Yao was infuriated by the giant as he caused the most damage to his malls.

    Zhao Yao shed and appeared behind the giant. Zhao Yao punched out and the Deflective Field transformed into shockwaves that engulfed the giant.

    The giant was in shock as he was propelled up into the sky like a rocket.

    A woman¡¯s figure appeared behind Zhao Yao and she hugged Zhao Yao as she shouted, ¡°ming Cannon! Run! Tell them our intelligence¡¯s wrong. Zhao Yao has... Ah!!!¡±

    The woman screamed as she gazed at her own hands. Her Material Breakdown was reflected by Zhao Yao¡¯s Superpower Resistance and she saw her hands disintegrate before she screamed and fell to the ground.

    Zhao Yao looked at her and shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m not going to be ruthless towards you. Why are you forcing me to retaliate?¡± He lifted his head to look for the giant that had turned into a ck dot in the sky.

    Zhao Yao leaped as the ground cracked with fissures and the roads undted. He flew at ten mach towards the giant.

    The giant shrunk rapidly as sma mes fired from the back of his mecha armor in a bid to reduce his speed after being propelled by Zhao Yao.

    As the giant stopped himself with great effort, Zhao Yao swooped in with loud howling of wind and grabbed his head.

    ¡°Trying to escape after damaging my shops?¡±

    The giant red at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°It¡¯s you who...¡±

    Zhao Yao tore off the giant¡¯s armor helmet with a loud crack. Strong winds howled and flowed into the giant¡¯s mouth.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s fist becamerger andrger in front of the giant and he was hit with a violent concussion that knocked him unconscious.

    Ten minutester, Uncle Ho and his men ran to Cat Wondend Street in a hurry.

    Looking at the cracked, undted roads and distant copsed buildings, Uncle Ho was crying in a depression as he said, ¡°Zhao Yao! Can¡¯t you be less vicious? Do you realize the consequences? Do you know countries are making news out of this?¡±

    Nasha and herpanionsy t on the ground as Zhao stood on top of them. When he heard Uncle Ho¡¯s voice, he turned his head and said indignantly, ¡°I didn¡¯t start it, they did. They attacked me and my shops. They tried to kill me. How can it be my fault?¡±

    Uncle Ho looked at the five persons on the ground. They were stripped of their mecha and equipment, leaving only their underwear. Zhao Yao stored the mecha and equipment in the Extradimensional Belly.

    Uncle Ho frowned and asked, ¡°Who are they? Where did theye from and what are their superpowers? Why didn¡¯t we receive any intelligence on them?¡±

    Zhao Yao was silent for a while and decided it was best to divulge a bit. He said, ¡°They are aliens.¡±

    Uncle Ho looked in disbelief at Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°The supercats came from others, do you believe that? These aliens are the same. The Milky Way¡¯s busier than I thought.¡±

    Uncle Ho looked astonished at Zhao Yao. ¡°Are you serious?¡±

    ¡°Of course. Do you think I¡¯m joking?¡± Zhao Yao waved his hand and the five persons were put into the Dimension Portal. He looked at Uncle Ho and said,

    ¡°Honestly, I¡¯m the only one who could match the aliens. Don¡¯t even think about fighting them. Lend me more money and help me repair Cat Wondend so that I have no worries when I¡¯m protecting Earth.¡±

    After speaking his mind, Zhao Yao left in the Dimension Portal.

    Uncle Ho was left dazed in the cool breeze.

    ¡°Zhao Yao... is he telling the truth or is he trying to cheat our money to repair Cat Wondend Street?¡±

    ...

    Zhao Yao brought the five unconscious people back to Cat Ind. He tended to their wounds and put on the games visor for them. Their awarenesses were bound to Closers World and they were imprisoned in it.

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin as he analyzed his previous battle.

    ¡°Hmm, my superior constitution, which was trained by the Blood of Evolution and Sphynx cat¡¯s superpower, was on par with Level 70 and above Cat Sages level supercats.¡±

    ¡°If I use Time Freeze, Dimension Portal, Dragon ying Saber and other superpowers, the five people might be killed without seeing me.¡±

    ¡°Training¡¯s like rowing a boat upstream. The more effort one puts in, the greater the reward. I¡¯ll interrogate them properly in Closers World and find out the situation about the three tribes. Let¡¯s see if I can reap more benefits from the tribes and prepare Earth for a better future.¡±

    Zhao Yao returned to the training furnace and immersed himself in it as his awareness entered Closers World to interrogate Nasha and herpanions.

    The five of them woke up with a chill and they discovered they were on a grass in.

    Zhao Yao sat in front of them and smiled as he said, ¡°Tell me, which side are you on? Why are you creating trouble here?¡±

    They looked at each other. They did not expect Zhao Yao to be that powerful to subdue thempletely.

    Recalling the fierce look of Zhao Yao during battle, they became fearful of him.

    The captain Nasha stood up and looked at Zhao Yao as she said, ¡°Zhao Yao, we¡¯re members of the Cat Revolution Society. We might have some misunderstandings. This is the critical moment in the battle of the three tribes that will affect the entire Milky Way. We need your help.¡±

    ¡°What? You need my help?¡± Zhao Yaoughed heartily. ¡°You destroyed my buildings and now you need my help?¡±

    The burly man who transformed into a giant blurted, ¡°If not for your...¡±

    Nasha lifted her hand to stop him from rebuking. She looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Apologies, we attacked you and it¡¯s our fault.

    If you¡¯re feeling angry, we¡¯ll let you mete out the punishment, even if you ask us tomit suicide. The Cat Revolution Society needs your help and the humans in the Milk Way need your help...¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t tter me.¡± Zhao Yao looked at her and said casually, ¡°Tell me the current situation. What¡¯s the critical change in the battle of the three tribes?¡±

    Nasha said gravely, ¡°The Long Fur Tribe has won eight of the twelvebat sectors. One of the huge cat gods of the Furless Tribe has perished.¡±

    Zhao Yao was grim. He expected the Long Fur Tribe to gain the upper hand but he did not expect they would achieve victory in such a short time.

    Nasha said, ¡°Thetest cat-made humans by the Long Fur Tribe have superior potential far greater than humans and supercats. They¡¯ve be the killer weapons on the battlefield. If the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s not stopped, they will rule the entire Milky Way and humans will live in their shadows.¡±

    Zhao Yao recalled Olivia¡¯s strange mutation after hearing Nasha¡¯s words.

    Zhao Yao looked at them in surprise as he asked, ¡°Did you... hear the voice?¡±

    Nasha was puzzled. ¡°Voice? What voice?¡±

    Hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s question, Nasha and herpanions looked at each other in surprise as they did not hear any voices.

    Zhao Yao frowned. He heard soft muttering voices beside his ears as though someone was whispering him to him. When he listened intently, he could not make out the words.

    Zhao Yao recalled Olivia¡¯s figure. Before she died, she said she could hear voices by her ears.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes widened as the voice became clearer.

    ¡°Zhao Yao... Zhao Yao...¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao!¡±

    Zhao Yao turned his head and saw Matcha sprawled on his shoulders. Matcha said pitifully, ¡°Zhao Yao, you have to avenge me! Caesar¡¯s bullying me daily because his wife and daughter are powerful!¡±

    Zhao Yao pped Matcha¡¯s head and it exploded in mid-air. Zhao Yao listened intently but could not hear any voices.

    Nasha and herpanions were terrified by what they saw. ¡°He¡¯s that vicious towards his own cat? That¡¯s admirable!¡±

    Though they were Cat Revolution Society members, they were used to being treated badly by the supercats. When they saw Zhao Yao being vicious towards the supercat, they were in awe of him.

    Matcha ran over to him after being revived in Closers World. He hugged Zhao Yao¡¯s thigh and cried, ¡°Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! I was beaten because of you!¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that I could beat up anyone during Time Freeze?¡±

    ¡°I beat up Caesar to reduce the cooling down period! He asked Elizabeth and Diana to beat me up!¡±

    ¡°I awoke to find my carpet being urinated on!¡±

    ¡°I found cat litter in my meals!¡±

    ¡°My wifi is shut off when I y games!¡±

    Zhao Yao caressed Matcha¡¯s head as he thought and said, ¡°Enough, I understand. Hmm... follow me.¡±

    Zhao Yao left Closers World with Matcha and they returned to the material realm.

    Half an hourter, in the Wechat group, Matcha added everyone and uploaded a photograph.

    ¡°See mytest toy.¡±

    Elizabeth was the first one to poke fun at Matcha. ¡°That cat stick is broken! The fur¡¯s shedding.¡±

    Diana teased him and said, ¡°Silly Matcha, still ying with a cat stick at your age?¡±

    Fish Ball could not resist saying, ¡°A broken cat stick and you¡¯re adding everyone?¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°This is not a cat stick. Take a careful look.¡±

    All the cats saw an erged photograph that showed the words ¡°Empowered with Zhao Yao¡¯s authority¡± engraved on the cat stick.

    Matcha said, ¡°This is a gift from Zhao Yao. With the Cat Beating Stick in hand, I can beat evil cats and whip bad dogs. During Time Freeze, whoever¡¯s being beaten by this Cat Beating Stick, it¡¯s as if Zhao Yao was beating the cat personally. Who dares retaliate against me? @Caesar.¡±

    Old Cat said, ¡°Let¡¯s see who dares to retaliate!¡±

    The entire cat nation went into fear mode and small groups of chatter manifested.

    Elizabeth said, ¡°Zhao Yao¡¯s old and foolish. He¡¯s an ipetent ruler!¡±

    Dust Ball said, ¡°Exactly, if we see Matcha preying on innocent cats, do we just stand by?¡±

    Lightning said, ¡°Roly Poly, what do you say? Our Pas cat nation will support you if you deal with Matcha.¡±

    Cannon said, ¡°There are only a few Pas cats on the in as all the rest have gone into the cities to work. There¡¯s no more Pas cat nation! Roly Poly, do whatever you need to do. We support you.¡±

    Roly Poly said, ¡°Hehe, all of you have ttered me. I¡¯m not Matcha¡¯s match.¡±

    Project X looked at Roly Poly typing the words and he said, ¡°Roly Poly...¡±

    ¡°Call me Roly God.¡± Roly Poly squeezed his paw and said, ¡°I feel that I¡¯ve gotten stronger these past two days and the speed of my invisibility has be faster too...¡±

    Project X asked doubtfully, ¡°Really?¡±

    Roly Poly said, ¡°You don¡¯t understand. After drinking Zhao Yao¡¯s blood, our superpowers go through a shocking improvement. I can feel it in my stomach. I¡¯m getting stronger every second...¡±

    Roly Roly quivered his ears and said, ¡°Take a look. I discovered I could make an ear stand up while the other drops. This proves that I can control my body better...¡±

    Project X said, ¡°Roly Poly, I feel that...¡±

    Roly Poly said, ¡°Call me Roly God!¡±

    Project X said, ¡°Hmm... Roly Poly... His ego¡¯s inting again...¡±

    Matcha looked pleased at the negative reaction in the Wechat group. He took up the Cat Beating Stick and swung it around. He felt good about himself.

    Latte stood by the side and looked enviously at the Cat Beating Stick as he said, ¡°Father, could I touch the Cat Beating Stick?¡±

    ¡°No.¡± Matcha rejected his request and said, ¡°This Cat Beating Stick can be used to beat both cats and dogs and it had umted quite a bit of grievances from the victims. Due to its mystical nature, not everyone can touch it.¡±

    Seeing the disappointed expression of Latte, Matcha pointed to a bowl and said, ¡°See, that¡¯s the canned salmon from the Norwegian cat. It¡¯s delicious and I¡¯m giving it to you.¡±

    Latte was disappointed but he went for the canned salmon. After a bite, he was surprised and shouted as he ate, ¡°Where did the canned salmone from? It¡¯s delicious!¡±

    Matchaughed and said, ¡°Silly kid, that¡¯s not salmon. That¡¯s canned cat meat.¡±

    Latte was dumbstruck.

    Latte opened his eyes widely and he started tearing up. He ate and cried, ¡°Waaah... Why is cat meat so delicious? Waaaaah...¡± Latte became sadder as he ate and the sadder he became, the more he ate.

    Milk Tea could not help saying, ¡°Don¡¯t cry Latte, Brother Matcha was fooling you. That¡¯s salmon, not cat meat. Read the English words. Didn¡¯t I teach you yesterday?¡±

    Latte perked up and ate faster. ¡°It¡¯s delicious! Thank goodness it¡¯s not cat meat! Dad, why did you lie to me?¡±

    Matcha swung his Cat Beating Stick. ¡°Humph, if you could understand why easily, would I be still be Matcha?¡±

    Milk Tea looked at the arrogant Matcha swinging his stick and said, ¡°About this stick, I¡¯m... no, Brother Matcha, you weren¡¯t diplomatic in the WeChat group. Everyone¡¯s offended...¡±

    ¡°Humph! What¡¯s there to be afraid of? The Cat Beating Stick is in my hands! I¡¯ll beat whoever opposes me!¡± Matcha looked at Milk Tea and said, ¡°Milk Tea, hehe, you¡¯re the school¡¯s captain. Do you think you¡¯re qualified to lecture me?¡±

    Milk Tea said helplessly, ¡°Brother Matcha, I told you I¡¯m running this semester. I¡¯ll support you for the post next semester.¡±

    ¡°Humph, I heard from Fish Ball and the rest that you would like to continue for the next semester.¡±

    Milk Tea said, ¡°That¡¯s not possible. It¡¯s a tiring responsibility. I don¡¯t earn any money and I don¡¯t need to copy assignments. It¡¯s a service for everyone. I¡¯ll resign after this semester.¡±

    ¡°Well.¡± Matcha flicked his Cat Beating Stick as he said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you assign me some work?¡± He looked in anticipation at Milk Tea and said, ¡°Shall we have two captains in the school? Let¡¯s be the boss together.¡±

    Milk Tea heard Matcha¡¯s words and his body froze as he smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s a long tradition. Two bosses? It¡¯s not feasible and I don¡¯t think the higher-ups would approve.¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°With my Cat Beating Stick, I¡¯m not afraid of them. If we team up, won¡¯t we control the entire school?¡±

    Milk Tea smiled and said, ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this Brother Matcha. Mao Mao told me that he has seen several cats that look like him...¡±

    ¡°Orange cats looking identical is quitemon. That¡¯s not a big deal.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s beyond identical.¡± Milk Tea took out the photograph and said, ¡°Brother Matcha, take a look. It¡¯s a lookalike.¡±

    Matcha extended his head to take a look. He almost thought that was a covert photograph of himself.

    ...

    Zhao Yao left Closers World to deal with Matcha¡¯s problem. Nasha and herpanions gathered and started talking.

    Thunder said, ¡°Captain, why did you apologize to that guy?¡±

    Nasha said, ¡°Because he¡¯s strong. It¡¯s not the time to discuss who¡¯s right or wrong. Only if we survive will our descendants have the chance to discuss this. With Zhao Yao¡¯s help, humans will have a better life.¡±

    A young girl said, ¡°But... but... he¡¯s from a different ce from us. Look at this, their lives are better than ours.¡±

    Nasha said, ¡°All the humans in the Milky Way are on the same side. The supercats will discover Earth sooner orter. Take a look at this awareness country. It¡¯s bigger than our leader¡¯s.¡±

    Everyone looked at Closers World in astonishment.

    The Cat Revolution Society also had their awareness country but their skills were inferior to Zhao Yao¡¯s, hence their awareness country was inferior.

    Zhao Yao returned to Closers World and looked at them as he said, ¡°I¡¯m aware of the three tribes¡¯ situations. What does Cat Revolution Society intend to do?¡±

    Nasha said, ¡°I¡¯m not aware of the details as it concerns the life and death of the society. It¡¯s top secret. When you snuck into the coreboratory of the Chaos Stronghold, you should have found out about the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s creations.

    Our leader investigated the Long Fur Tribe personally. Perhaps, you¡¯ll be interested in this.¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled as he had intended to contact the Cat Revolution Society. He had a war mission toplete.

    The previous 40 captured alien cats provided him with sizable experience points. After using the experience points, he wanted to go for another round of reaping experience points, hence he was excited.

    No matter how events unfolded, his main focus was to survive.

    Zhao Yao said to them, ¡°Okay, bring me to your leader. I have things to discuss with him.¡±

    Zhao Yao calcted the time. There were four days before the end of the month. He said, ¡°In four days, we¡¯ll look for your leader.¡±

    Four dayster, in the morning, Zhao Yao was pleased it was time for the end of month ounting, which garnered him more than a hundred thousand experience points. The Book became Book: Level 9 (175 817/200 000).

    Sphynx cat was upgraded two levels to Level 53 after logging into Closers World for the past few days.

    As Zhao Yao¡¯s influence became widespread, his market share in the country was 100% and he obtained 1000 lottery draws.

    With the lottery draws, he obtained tens of thousands of experience points, arge stash of Cat Spicy Strips and various Improvement Stones...

    Most importantly, the Cat Emperor Armor Fragments reached (201/240).

    Zhao Yao perked up when he realized that he could have theplete Cat Emperor Armor within the next month.

    Zhao Yao intended to join the war of the three tribes. As it was extremely dangerous, he decided to use his hundreds of thousands of experience points to upgrade hisbat prowess.

    He used 100 000 experience points in exchange for the Improvement Hammer and the Cat Prince Costume had a +1 improvement.

    Cat Prince Costume +12: Defense increases by 120%, constitution increases by 90%, ability to absorb superpower +1, Level 80 cap.

    Zhao Yao was pleased with the increase in power. He returned to Closers World and brought the five people back to reality.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. Bring me to your leader.¡±

    Nasha and herpanions brought Zhao Yao to a tall building in Jianghai. She looked nervously at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°That mecha...¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°What mecha?¡±

    Nasha said, ¡°The mechas that we wore that day.¡±

    Zhao Yao got Doll to research the confiscated mechas and he intended to give them to Zhao Xue and the rest. However, the mechas could only identify their owner.

    Hearing Nasha¡¯s question, Zhao Yao said, ¡°Oh, I don¡¯t know where the mechas went. How do you wear the mecha? If I find them, I¡¯ll try them.¡±

    Nasha looked helplessly at Zhao Yao as he was the most unscrupulous person she had encountered. She was abruptly enlightened as she thought, ¡°Only such an unscrupulous person could survive in this harsh universe and reach the pinnacle of sess.¡±

    ¡°The difference between him and us might be this.¡±

    She remained emotionless as she said, ¡°The mecha has a blood identification device to recognize its owner. We can help you remove it. We need themunication set on the mecha to contact the Cat Revolution Society and let them activate the Space Fold portal so that we can go back.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and contacted Doll. He took out five mechas and got them to remove the owner identification. They used themunication sets on the mecha to contact the Cat Revolution Society.

    A blue portal opened on the building¡¯s rooftop and Nasha said, ¡°After you.¡±

    Zhao Yao smiled. He did not probe the portal as he had Time Freeze and Revive superpowers. He walked into the portal, followed by Nasha and herpanions. The blue portal vanished in a pping sound.

    After walking out from the portal, Zhao Yao saw a bright cave and tens of mecha warriors aiming their weapons at him.

    Zhao Yao sized up their equipment. ¡°Their mechas are inferior to Nasha and herpanions.¡±

    Nasha and herpanions walked out of the portal and a leading warrior said, ¡°Nasha! You¡¯re back. Take Zhao Yao to see the elder. He has waited for a long time.¡±

    He looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Nasha, why didn¡¯t you handcuff him? Is this alright?¡±

    Nasha and herpanions were embarrassed by the question.

    <h4>Chapter 1095: Meeting</h4>

    Seeing their embarrassed expressions, Zhao Yaomunicated to Nasha and herpanions using his power of awareness. ¡°It¡¯s alright. You can handcuff me. I don¡¯t wish to fight unnecessarily.¡±

    Zhao Yao noticed that there were no level indicators above the warriors¡¯ heads and there were no new missions on Book so he was not interested in fighting them.

    If he told them he forced Nasha and herpanions toe back, he would be attacked. It was better to meet their leader first.

    Moreover, conventional handcuffs were not able to restrain him.

    Nasha walked warily forward and got a restraining cuff from the warriors. Then she walked to Zhao Yao and said using her power of awareness, ¡°Thank you. I know that this is unable to restrain you and they are not your match. Thank you for showing mercy.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s alright,¡± Zhao Yao said casually. ¡°I don¡¯t fight if there are no experience points to gain.¡±

    ¡°Eh?¡± Nasha was taken aback as she could not figure out what Zhao Yao was saying. She put the restraining cuff on Zhao Yao.

    She pressed a piece of cloth on Zhao Yao¡¯s chest and it expanded rapidly before turning into strands of golden bands. They wrapped tightly around Zhao Yao and bound his upper body and both his arms.

    The surrounding warriors who readied their weapons heaved in relief. The leading warrior said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. The elder has waited for a long time.¡±

    Zhao Yao was escorted out and he saw that the surroundings were allplex winding caves.

    He noticed that the caves were interconnected and there were many energetic humans wearing simple clothing.

    Some of them were farming, learning, training inbat while others were preparing meals.

    The daily household tools were backwards in technology and inferior to those on Earth.

    However, the devices that controlled the opening and closing of the caves, the warrior¡¯s weapons, devices, and the lighting and hygiene devices were far superior to those on Earth.

    This was a civilization that went overboard on copying the technology of the Long Fur Tribe.

    As the Cat Revolution Society was under attack from the three tribes their priority was survivability andbat. They did not have the time and energy to think about the quality of life.

    Zhao Yao looked at a group of studying kids whose clothes were simple but they were full of energy. Their eyes looked spirited and they were filled with hope.

    ¡°The living conditions are not good but the humans have a fighting spirit.¡±

    Zhao Yao was amused.

    Along the way, he tested the restraining cuff and he could break it with little effort so he did not struggle. Instead, he followed them to arge building located in the underground cave.

    ¡°Nasha, you¡¯ll bring him in while I stand guard outside.¡±

    Nasha nodded and brought five of the warriors and Zhao Yao into the building. Zhao Yao felt a strange fragrance in the air.

    Nasha exined, ¡°This is the focusing fragrance made from carcass oil. It¡¯ll cultivate your power of awareness and reduce the aging effects of the body. The effect is even better if used after the awareness leaves the body.¡±

    Zhao Yao nodded and thought that the Cat Revolution Society had good stuff.

    Nasha pointed to the dark main hall and said, ¡°The dark environment¡¯s helpful for mental cultivation. This is the training ground of the elder. Most of the time, there¡¯s no light.¡±

    The group walked along the main hall in darkness. Rays of faint white light descended upon the nearby hall and illuminated an elderly woman who was in a lotus sitting position.

    The elderly woman¡¯s face was full of creases while white hair covered her head. She was very short but looked solemn. She cast a domineering gaze on the restrained Zhao Yao.

    ¡°You are Zhao Yao?¡± The elderly woman said, ¡°Tell me what you saw and heard in the Chaos Strongholdboratory.¡±

    Zhao Yao noticed that she had a Level 75 indicator above her head and thought, ¡°Her heartbeat and breathing are weak. She doesn¡¯t look like she has the Furless Tribe¡¯s superpower. In this environment, is she only focusing on the power of awareness? Why didn¡¯t she strengthen her body?¡±

    Nasha said, ¡°Summit Elder, Zhao Yao¡¯s power far exceeded the intelligence we obtained. We brought him here after being defeated. We think we could cooperate with him and he has the same intention.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± The Summit Elder scrutinized Zhao Yao carefully. Nasha and herpanions were her top warriors and Zhao Yao defeated them so he was much more powerful than was described in the intelligence.

    The Summit Elder said, ¡°Interesting. As a cat ve of the Short Fur Tribe for only a few months, you were able to defeat Nasha and herpanions?¡±

    ¡°Stop the idle chat.¡± Zhao Yao tore apart the restraining cuff and twisted his head as he said, ¡°Bring me to your leader. I¡¯d like to discuss cooperation with him.¡±

    The Summit Elder smiled and looked at Zhao Yao as though he was a kid. She said slowly, ¡°The leader¡¯s the pir of our society and the hope of our human race. We can¡¯t let anyone meet him. However, I¡¯ll give you a chance. Shall we have a bet?¡±

    Without giving him a chance to react, she said, ¡°If you can fend off three of my blows, I¡¯ll bring you to meet our leader. If you fail, you¡¯ll work for me for three years. How¡¯s that?¡±

    She looked intensely at Zhao Yao to see how he would react.

    She was not angry after finding out that Zhao Yao had defeated Nasha. Instead, she wanted to subdue the arrogant Zhao Yao and make him one of her subordinates.

    Zhao Yaoughed and said, ¡°You want me to be your subordinate?¡±

    The Summit Elder frowned and said, ¡°What¡¯s so funny?¡±

    Zhao Yao studied the Book¡¯s mission panel and looked at her with the anticipation of a good harvest.

    Mission: Arrogance

    Mission Objective: The Cat Revolution Society is too arrogant and impolite. Show them real power.

    Reward: The reward is given ording to your arrogance level, the lowest is 1000 to the highest 30 000 experience points.

    Penalty: None.

    Seeing the mission, Zhao Yao could not help covering his face as heughed. ¡°D*mn, that¡¯s a good Book. Knowing my inted ego, the Book gave me this mission for me to do some self-reflection?¡±

    Zhao Yao inhaled deeply and reminded himself. ¡°Don¡¯t be too self-centered. The universe¡¯s huge. There¡¯s bound to be someone better than you. Don¡¯t be too arrogant.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the Summit Elder and said, ¡°Old hag! Eat s*it.¡±

    The high and mighty Summit Elder was dumbstruck and she thought her ears were having problems.

    Zhao Yao looked at the mission panel on the Book and noticed that he could obtain 3 000 experience points from his taunting. He was pleased.

    Seeing her dumbfounded expression, Zhao Yao became more arrogant and said, ¡°Old hag, bring me to see your leader, otherwise I¡¯ll shove your head into a cat¡¯s a*shole.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the Book and the expected experience points rose to 3500. ¡°Ah? Only an increase of 500? Isn¡¯t that arrogant enough?¡±

    ¡°Such arrogance!¡±

    The Summit Elder trembled with fury as she had not been humiliated for a long time. Nasha and herpanions were embarrassed as they did not expect Zhao Yao to do such things.

    She pointed her finger in rage and her power of awareness transformed into boiling shockwaves that propelled towards Zhao Yao.

    That was the ming Awareness that would only scorch awareness and leave the body intact. At times, it would burn away the memories of the target and it was one of the powerful silver level skills.

    Nasha and the rest fled nervously as they watched both of them fight.

    The mes burned on Zhao Yao momentarily before vanishing and reappearing on the Summit Elder¡¯s body as the mes started burning.

    The Superpower Resistance hade into effect.

    The Summit Elder snorted in frustration as she looked at Zhao Yao with shock and fury. After diverting her power of awareness to put out the mes, she shouted, ¡°You also know me Douse? Have a taste of this¡ªMoonfall!¡±

    A bright moon rose up from her head and illuminated everyone. Nasha and herpanions felt acute pain in their awareness and they were unable to activate their power of awareness. Even thinking created enormous pain.

    The moon shattered and the Summit Elder stood up gravely as her mind shook with acute pain. She looked at Zhao Yao with intense fury.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°Oh? Two sessful superpower reflections? This woman¡¯s weak? It¡¯s a good time to be even more overbearing.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked arrogant as he said, ¡°You want me to be your subordinate with such mundane skills? This is hrious.¡±

    Zhao Yao raised up both his hands and said, ¡°I¡¯ll forgo the use of my hands and legs and I¡¯ll still beat you up!¡±

    Her breathing quickened as she was agitated by Zhao Yao¡¯s arrogance.

    She had used all her powerful skills but she was unable to subdue him. After his taunting, she was overwhelmed with anger.

    Zhao Yao was exhrated when the expected experience points increased from 3500 to 8500.

    The Summit Elder activated her power of awareness with the speed of lightning. The power of awareness transformed into numerous lightsabers from the thin air and shot towards Zhao Yao like a million arrows.

    That was her strongest skill¡ªLightsaber Formation which transformed the power of awareness into lightsabers that could cut and disintegrate the opponent¡¯s awareness.

    She looked glumly and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, if you admit defeat...¡±

    ¡°Nonsense!¡± Zhao Yao looked at the sea of lightsabers and braced himself as he shouted, ¡°Come on. Hit me. If I move, I lose!¡±

    The expected experience points became 9000.

    ¡°Zhao Yao! You¡¯re looking for death!¡± She was infuriated and red at Zhao Yao. Zhao Yao was covered by the millions of lightsabers in the next instant.

    Nasha shouted, ¡°Elder! No!¡± Everything happened in a lightning speed. She did not expect Zhao Yao to offend the Elder. She did not expect the Elder to use her most powerful skill either.

    Zhao Yao had a lot of secrets that they wanted to know!

    Nasha was toote. The figure of Zhao Yao vanished in the millions of lightsabers. The Summit Elder was stunned and she showed regret. Zhao Yao stood motionless as he braced her attack.

    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s a pity...¡±

    As she was feeling pity, an exploding pain wrecked her awareness.

    She vomitedrge amounts of blood and fell to the ground. Her awareness disintegrated in chaos.

    She was damaged by the reflection of the Superpower Resistance.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s Superpower Resistance was 53% effective.

    The Summit Elder¡¯s Level 75 awareness had some resistance against Sphynx cat¡¯s Level 53 superpower reflection so only half of the lightsabers reflected on her when she was unprepared and had no defenses.

    The reflected attack wounded her seriously.

    As the lightsabers vanished, Zhao Yao walked out intact and looked at the Summit Elder with disappointment.

    ¡°Weak! You¡¯re too weak. Are there any powerful warriors in the Cat Revolution Society?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°S*it, that was a powerful blow. The Cat Prince Costume with Level 67 awareness is still weak and I was killed instantly. Fortunately, I revived.¡±

    The expected experience points increased from 9000 to 14000 and Zhao Yao was overjoyed.

    He thought, ¡°Humph, since the Superpower Resistance exceeded 50%, I¡¯d like to test with Revival in a passivebat. This is quite a good tactic.¡±

    Everyone looked at Zhao Yao in astonishment.

    Nasha muttered, ¡°The most powerful ck skill level Lightsaber Formation of the Summit Elder was not able to harm him. How strong is Zhao Yao?¡±

    Thunder looked fearful and said, ¡°He¡¯s able to face the attack of the Lightsaber Formation without injury and seriously wound the Elder. What level of awareness control is Zhao Yao at? He defeated us with only his physical strength?!¡±

    The Summit Elder lifted her head and looked dejectedly at Zhao Yao. ¡°I¡¯ve used all my efforts but I¡¯m unable to harm him?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at her and said tauntingly, ¡°How¡¯s that? Do you want to try again?¡±

    She did not give Zhao Yao a chance to be arrogant. She shook her head and said, ¡°Follow me. I¡¯ll bring you to see our leader.¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Zhao Yao looked at the 14000 expected experience points. He wanted to brag but the Summit Elder had left.

    Zhao Yao obtained 14000 experience points for this mission.

    ¡°S*it, I haven¡¯t finished my bragging yet and you¡¯re leaving?¡±

    Zhao Yao sighed as he could not earn the remaining 16000 experience points. Zhao Yao and Nasha and followed the Summit Elder to a secret room.

    He saw a sh in the room and an image of a grey Short Fur cat appeared before him.

    Seeing the grey cat, Zhao Yao was taken aback and his mind shed with many thoughts.

    The grey cat said, ¡°You¡¯re Zhao Yao? I¡¯ve heard about you from Summit Elder.¡±

    Zhao Yao gazed at the grey cat and said puzzledly, ¡°You¡¯re the leader? The leader of the Cat Revolution Society is a cat?¡± He observed that there was no level indicator above the cat¡¯s head. The grey cat was only an optical image and not the real cat.

    The grey cat smiled like a human and licked his paw. ¡°Is that hard to ept? Whether it¡¯s the Short Fur or the Long Fur Tribe, there¡¯s nock of human-loving cats. There are human protection societies in the Long Fur Tribe and they protest against human abuse.¡±

    Zhao Yao was speechless.

    The leader said, ¡°I was in the upper echelon of the Long Fur and Short Fur Tribe to advocatews for the protection of humans. I was hoping to eradicate human abuse and very. However, there was much resistance and I missed a lot of opportunities for sess.

    So I established the Cat Revolution Society to protect the humans and prevent various human abuse.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the grey cat and thought, ¡°He¡¯s a protective and human-loving cat.¡±

    Zhao Yao was curious about the Cat Revolution Society, especially their source of superpowers. How had they controlled the first supercat and obtained superpowers?

    The air was cleared. Their first supercat was the leader.

    That was the reason why the leader was the pride of the Cat Revolution Society and the source of hope. Even if the entire society was destroyed, as long as the leader was alive, there was hope.

    The grey cat said, ¡°Zhao Yao, are you able to answer my question? What do you know about the things in the coreboratory?¡±

    Zhao Yao hesitated before telling him about Olivia.

    The Summit Elder quickened her breath after hearing Zhao Yao. She tried to interrupt a few times but was stopped by the leader. When Zhao Yao finished, she said in agitation, ¡°It¡¯s impossible, Olivia sacrificed herself long ago. How could she help the evil Long Fur Tribe?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Sacrificed long ago?¡±

    The Summit Elder said, ¡°Olivia was captured and killed by a Furless cat ten years ago. At that time... she was already 70 years old.¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned and said, ¡°Could it be Olivia¡¯s clone?¡±

    The leader said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter who she is. She¡¯s not the real Olivia but a cat-made human weapon,¡± He said grimly. ¡°Not long ago, I snuck into the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s research facilities. The human weapons were still in development and the threat is bing more serious.¡±

    ¡°In the remaining eightbat sectors of the war of the three tribes, the Long Fur Tribe deployed an increasing number of human weapons. The pressure on the Short and Furless Tribe is mounting and they are not able to hold much longer.

    The White Short Star and Whitehand will intervene and escte the war. Everyone will be living in the shadows of war. Countless humans and cats will perish.¡±

    The leader looked troubled as he said, ¡°The most crucial factor is the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s research. The human weapons are just part of the research. I have very bad feelings about the Blood of God and its evil source and existence.¡±

    Zhao Yao proposed his n. ¡°I¡¯m not good at investigating the Long Fur Tribe. I could help the Short and Furless Tribe in the war. I¡¯ll capture the Long Fur cats if you provide the information... if you give me intelligence, I¡¯ll do the fighting.¡±

    They looked in surprise at Zhao Yao. The war of the three tribes was extremely dangerous. Even the Cat Sage level¡¯sbat power was insufficient.

    Especially when the Cat Revolution Society was themon enemy of the three tribes. If he was discovered, he would be in great danger.

    Zhao Yao was volunteering his help even though it was dangerous for him. They were surprised as Zhao Yao¡¯s n did not fit their expectations of him.

    Nasha thought, ¡°We can¡¯t judge a book by its cover and a person¡¯s capability by his appearance. I always thought Zhao Yao was an arrogant and unscrupulous scumbag but now he¡¯s willing to risk his life to stop the Long Fur Tribe.¡±

    With Zhao Yao¡¯sbat power, the leader was not worried about Zhao Yao¡¯s safety. He thought Zhao Yao could weaken the Long Fur Tribe significantly.

    They continued their discussion and went into detailed nning. The leader asked if Zhao Yao would like to have thetest mecha.

    Zhao Yao would like to have one but he changed his mind. If he was exposed to space, he would able to train his body continuously.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°I¡¯m declining as I don¡¯t take frommoners. Give the mecha to those who need it more.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s words made them respect him more and the leader¡¯s optical image shed with arge golden exmation mark.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°It¡¯s fortunate that I¡¯m able to ept missions over long distancemunication, unlike the level indicator which requires the real body.¡±

    He asked, ¡°Is there any task for me?¡±

    The leader said, ¡°No, I only have a request but I¡¯m not sure if I should say it... When you are fighting with the Long Fur cats, please be merciful. Capture them but don¡¯t kill them.¡±

    The leader was a human-loving cat and he opposedrge scale killing of cats so he asked Zhao Yao to be merciful.

    Zhao Yao thought that his request was unnecessary as every alien cat was a precious resource. He could obtain 20 000 experience points after capturing each cat. He could also imprison the cats in Closers World to help his supercats evolve. He must be out of his mind to kill the cats.

    Zhao Yao patted his chest and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, as a cat-loving human and a good friend of all supercats in the universe, I hate killing cats. Unless it¡¯s necessary, I won¡¯t kill any cats.¡±

    Zhao Yao epted his mission.

    Mission: Supercat¡¯s old friend

    Mission Objective: As an old friend of the supercats, capture the cats but do not kill them in battle.

    Reward: Every captured supercat is worth 5000 experience points.

    Penalty: 10000 experience points are deducted for every killed supercat.

    Zhao Yao nodded at his new mission. He would receive more experience points for capturing cats.

    After discussion with the leader, Zhao Yao returned to Earth to train and log into Closers World while waiting for the intelligence from the Cat Revolution Society to capture supercats in battle.

    In the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s spaceship, a cat ve ran in a hurry to themand center.

    The door was opened and the cat ve shouted, ¡°My Lord! Base 32 requests immediate reinforcement, we...¡±

    Seeing the emptymand center, the cat ve gaped in shock.

    Simr disappearances of the Long Fur cats urred in many ces.

    In a stronghold of a star system, a ck Long Fur supercat walked in a hurry towards a conference room.

    ¡°A scumbag¡¯s on the loose kidnapping supercats! What¡¯s the investigation team doing? After a long time, there¡¯s no lead. They should be shed of their fur and thrown into ice water.¡±

    He banged open the door and saw an empty conference room. There were no supercats.

    The ck cat was shocked and he became mad. ¡°They dared to bete for a meeting! Thosezy pigs deserve to die!¡±

    His whiskers curled up and he looked puzzled at the documents on the table. He took a drink and opened up his calctor...

    ¡°They came but they were taken away...¡± The ck cat took out amunication device. ¡°Raise the rm! Be on the highest alert...¡±

    As he spoke halfway, themunication device fell to the ground and he vanished.

    In an instant, the ck cat, Ed¡¯s eyes were dark. When he recovered consciousness, he discovered he was on arge green in.

    The surroundings were filled with Long Fur cats and they climbed up in a daze.

    ¡°Oh! Aren¡¯t you Sevin?¡±

    ¡°Leo! You¡¯re here too.¡±

    ¡°Where¡¯s this ce?¡±

    ¡°Strange, why is my awareness here?¡±

    ¡°Is this an awareness country?¡±

    ¡°It must be the work of those d*mn Short Fur cats!¡±

    The ck cat, Ed, became grim. He felt that he was restrained by the boundless energy in the awareness country. He was as weak as a normal person... perhaps even weaker.

    As therge group of Long Fur cats were busy chattering and feeling nervous, scared and angry...

    Matcha, who was wearing a policeman costume, descended from the sky with his white paw holding a long whip. Looking at the numerous Long Fur cats, he smiled in a sinister way. ¡°Shut up. Heh, heh, heh, heh, wee to hell.¡±

    ¡°A Short Fur cat? And the lowest level orange cat?¡± The leading grey cat sneered and said, ¡°I won¡¯t even be bothered with this cat for cleaning my buttocks after I poop...¡±

    Matcha became sour and pped his paws. Old Cat, Lightning, and Cannon came out behind him.

    Matcha, extended his paw and pointed at the grey cat as he said, ¡°Send this racist cat into the wet prison.¡±

    Lightning and Cannon grabbed the grey cat. The grey cat wanted to resist but he felt a shocking restraining force on his body. In Closers World, his power was as good as a beginner.

    The grey cat red at Matcha and said, ¡°Orange cat! I¡¯ll remember you! Just you wait!¡±

    Matcha jumped up and whipped the grey cat¡¯s face and inflicted him with a long scar. The grey cat screamed in pain as he was dragged out.

    Matcha turned to look at other cats and said, ¡°Beforeing here, you could be a¡¯s master, a captain of a spaceship, the leader of an army or a famous cat with enormous power. But once you¡¯re here, you only have one identity. You are a prisoner.¡±

    Matcha swung his whip and said, ¡°You¡¯ll lose all basic cat rights.

    Nobody will feed you cat rations or canned food. There are no toys, rights or freedom. All your prior rights are no longer valid. Over here, I¡¯m your God and my words are your rules. Until your death.¡±

    ¡°Wee to... Matcha¡¯s yground workshop. You have to learn this training. Old Cat, bring them to the Beginner¡¯s Vige.¡±

    The group of cats left the grass in and made their way towards the Beginner¡¯s Vige.

    More than a month passed, Zhao Yao would bring inrge groups of alien cats every few days from the battlefield.

    With Cat Revolution Society¡¯s intelligence, Time Freeze, Dimension Portal, Ultra Rapid Regeneration and super constitution, Zhao Yao would be sessful in his sneak attacks and capture those supercats in Closers World.

    Outside the Beginner¡¯s Vige, more than a hundred alien cats were killing monsters to increase their levels. Seeing the new supercats, they were indifferent.

    The captured ck cat Ed walked to a cat who was fighting a monster and asked, ¡°Hey brother, what¡¯s the situation here?¡±

    The cat looked at him and said, ¡°New here? Just fight the monsters and don¡¯t think too much. You can¡¯t escape anyway.¡±

    The ck cat Ed¡¯s whiskers quivered and he looked at the distant supervising Matcha. ¡°That cat...¡±

    ¡°Hades Matcha? Don¡¯t offend him. He¡¯s ruthless...¡±

    In the distant cliff, the leader¡¯s avatar nodded and said to Zhao Yao, ¡°Thank you for not killing them.¡±

    ¡°No problem. I¡¯m a good friend of supercats. See how happy they are ying in Closers World.¡± Zhao Yao smiled and looked at Book¡¯s mission panel. After letting the leader confirm that the cats were alive, he could obtain the mission reward.

    For the past half month, in addition to the 40 alien cats, Closers World had 70 more alien cats. With the mission for capturing live supercats, Zhao Yao obtained more than 2 000 000 experience points. The evolution progress in Closers World increased by three times.

    Zhao Yao had more than 2 300 000 experience points in Bookand Sphynx cat reached a shocking Level 73. Sphynx cat was nowparable to the Furless Tribe¡¯s Huge Cat God.

    His Superpower Resistance reached 73% effectiveness.

    Zhao Yao did not need to borrow the alien cats¡¯ superpowers. He could borrow Sphynx Cat¡¯s Level 73 superpower to fight using his power of awareness. He could also train his body 24 hours daily.

    When he was training his body, he activated Sphynx cat¡¯s training superpower and the alien cat¡¯s Blood of Evolution.

    The training effects for the past half month was not as good as the Huge Cat Gods but his constitution improved by a few times.

    After hosting the leader, Zhao Yao exited Closers World and returned to the material realm.

    The current man-made facilities were not able to push Zhao Yao¡¯s body to the limit and they required massive energy consumption. Hence, Zhao Yao changed his location for training his body.

    Zhao Yao had already gone a few thousand kilometers underground to the mantleyer. The things around him were in liquid form and the temperature was higher than two thousand degree Celsius.

    The temperature was fine, the scary part was the immerse pressure that Zhao Yao was withstanding. The molten materials kept applying pressure on him with high temperature.

    There were more than 10 000 000 bars of pressure acting on him and every inch of his skin had to tolerate pressure that was enough to flip an entire warship.

    Zhao Yao was being torn apart, broken down and reborn again. He was squashed under inhumane conditions, however, he was also improving at a rapid speed under such conditions. It kept training his body to the extent he managed to push the pressure out.

    When Zhao Yao could break the surrounding molten apart and maintain his human form, it would mean that he hadpletely gotten used to the harsh environment. It would also mean that he needed to go deeper and break through the mantleyer.

    When the mantleyer can no longer satisfy him, it would be time to enter the Earth¡¯s core.

    Feeling the insane energying from within his body and the umted experience points of approximately two million, Zhao Yao smiled satisfyingly.

    However, he was not in a hurry to use the experience points in the Book. There was about a week left before the monthly settlements came in.

    By then, he would own another super equipment, ¡®Cat Emperor Armor¡¯.

    All his experience points were for saved up for this equipment. When he was able to redeem the Cat Emperor Armor, he would also be able to improve it immediately.

    Afterall, being in the mantleyer, there were no machines to help survey Zhao Yao¡¯s condition. The flowing mantle may bring Zhao Yao to a ce he would not be able to withstand.

    So, he had to leave Closers World once in a while and feel his own physical conditions to ensure that nothing was wrong.

    ¡°s, the higher the level gets, the harder it is to level up.¡±

    Zhao Yao was thinking about it as he returned to Closers World and he recalled the information delivered by the n master.

    ¡°Heh heh, the little cats from Long Fur Tribe are always gathered together. There are no cats that are alone or in groups of two or threes.¡±

    Zhao Yao was touching his chin. ¡°They want to take precautions against me? Or do they want to catch me?¡±

    No matter what, Zhao Yao did not n to back off. His Cat Emperor Armor was waiting for experience points to be strengthened.

    Before this, when Sphynx cat was Lv53, Zhao Yao dared to snatch cats alone. Now that he was Lv73, Zhao Yao had no fear.

    ¡°These alien cats are too weak. There isn¡¯t even a cat to stop me from getting over confident. I wonder if I can capture a sage level supercat.¡±

    Recalling the intel that the n master provided, Zhao Yao chose the location with the most cats.

    ...

    On Mayat, the Long Fur Tribe was in the war sector of the military.

    More than half the had been turned into a military factory. There wererge amounts of weapons being produced every moment and they were sent to the frontlines.

    In a secret chamber, a dozen of Long Fur cats were sitting on different mats and seemed to be waiting for something.

    One of the gray cats said slowly, ¡°What if he doesn¡¯te?¡±

    The white cat beside himughed. ¡°No, it would not happen. With how egotistic he is, how can he note. Even if he does note here, he will appear somewhere else and this time the person in charge is Robot Marshal. That guy is as good as dead.¡±

    Robot Marshal was one of the top ten Marshals in Long Fur Tribe. The ten Marshals in the Long Fur Tribe were equivalent to the eight Huge Cat Gods in the Furless Tribe and the Short Fur Sages in the Short Fur Tribe.

    Robot Marshal had simr powers to Doll but Robot Marshal was better than Doll. Many weapons and high-tech devices in Long Fur Tribe were invented by him.

    The other ck cat said, ¡°I think that he won¡¯te. Haven¡¯t you realized what is special about his operations? We have a mole ced among us or how else can he catch a cat so fast and swiftly every time?¡±

    Then, all the warning lights around them started to light up.

    ¡°The warning light? Did the Marshal find him?¡±

    ¡°Be careful!¡±

    In the space distortion, Zhao Yao was pushed out of the Dimension Portal. The anti-dimensional fields set up by Robot Marshal could not only detect him but they could even expel him out of the Dimension Portal.

    Zhao Yao was shocked when he got expelled out.

    Looking at the dozens of pairs of eyes looking at him, he calmed down and opened his mouth. ¡°F*ck, **F*ck, B****, F*ck...¡±

    ¡°You guys can try and kill me if you can!¡±

    The dozen of cats were looking at Zhao Yao in shock, then they were stunned. Soon, they were infuriated.

    When had theyst been humiliated by a human that badly?

    ¡°Beat him to death!¡±

    Six of the supercats attacked at full force and all the force fields, high temperature, cutting, curses and virus wereunched at Zhao Yao.

    The next moment, there was a blinding light from Zhao Yao and then it was followed by a terrifying high temperature and immerse pressure that spread out in all directions. The four powers were rebounded and they crushed the surrounding thousand meters to turn into ash.

    The supercats were screaming and shing out. There a few weak ones who were severely injured.

    Zhao Yao used the explosion as a chance to block all the surveince and vision. He activated Time Freeze and stuffed all twelve supercats into a sack and walked out.

    After Zhao Yao walked out, he realized something was wrong. He ran a dozen of kilometers and realized that he couldn¡¯t enter the awareness dimension, neither could he open the Dimension Portal.

    Zhao Yao was hiding in a venttion duct and he was shivering. Then he spat out a mouthful of dark colored blood.

    ¡°Were the two powers not exempted?¡± Zhao Yao felt like his body had been weakened and he looked at the sack. He thought to himself. ¡°They are already unconscious and yet their powers are still working. Are they operating by itself?¡±

    In a three thousand meters tall building, the tallest building on the.

    There were countlessputers running and there was an orange cat standing in front of the gigantic screen. ¡°Edward, you are getting more and more powerful. You actually banned the Dimension Travel and Space Travel on the entire? Is it a new technology?¡±

    The screen was shing and another cat¡¯s voice sounded. ¡°The target has strong physical capabilities. These will not be enough to trap him.¡±

    The orange catsughed and raised his paws. There was orange fur wriggling on his palm. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, he can¡¯t escape when he is under my curse.¡±

    ¡°He probably would never have imagined that to track him, two Marshals cooperated together.¡±

    ¡°But, upon thinking that this concerns a mole in the high ranking authorities, it is not really strange anymore.¡±

    The orange cat held onto the fur and said slowly, ¡°Found him. His exact position is...¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao was hiding in the venttion duct and thinking about the situation at hand.

    ¡°I am unable to do Dimension Travel and use the Dimension Portal. Is it because of the restrictions on me or it is a regional restriction?¡±

    He thought about it and decided to use Time Freeze the next time and attempt to get out of the range. Then, he would try again.

    When he was waiting for Time Freeze to cool down, he heard a vibrating sound entering his ears and it got louder and louder.

    The next moment, an electromaic artillery broke open the venttion duct and shot in Zhao Yao¡¯s direction.

    Zhao Yao opened his eyes and he was staring at the artillery shells with his enhanced vision. His hands were as fast as lightning as he bat the artillery shells away.

    Then, millions of artillery shells destroyed the venttion duct and all the surrounding metal walls as they charged towards Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao frowned and his body shot ahead.

    Energy in his body exploded and not only he was as fast as lightning, his flexibility was also perfect. He darted through the onught of artillery shells with incredible speed and agility.

    After dodging the first round of attacks, all the weapons were once again aimed at Zhao Yao and hot high-energy particles engulfed Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s body could withstand sma that was tens of thousands degree celsius. Of course the high-energy particles wouldn¡¯t evaporate him. When he was shot, he ran dozens of kilometers away to avoid being attacked again.

    The fighter jets, electromaic guns,sers, soldiers... surrounded Zhao Yao and their attacks came down like rain.

    While waiting for Time Freeze to cool down, in the face of those attacks, Zhao Yao changed to the Deflective Field and Ultra Rapid Regeneration. He punched towards theser mechanics soldiers that rushed up towards him first.

    The surging force field radiated outwards and the thousands ofser mechanics soldiers that could slice battleships apart exploded from the terrifying force field. They turned into metal scraps and fell to the floor.

    However, the next moment, more of them rushed up. They were all different and thest row looked like they were artillery soldiers that were specialized in shooting far ranged high-energy rays. The front row were soldiers that were welding the Murasama de and sma weapons. In the middle, there many soldiers with high energy guns...

    From an aerial view, it looked like there was a massive swarm of insects speeding towards Zhao Yao and then they were constantly exploded and crushed.

    ¡°There are too many...¡± Zhao Yao kicked his leg again and the energy was transmitted by the force field. Thousands of soldiers flew out and then they came crashing down. When they fell, they brought down hundreds of soldiers with them as they fell deeply into the ground.

    He started to copse the underground tunnel and kept changing his location. He got rid of the pursuit after a minute.

    He tried to use Dimension Portal and Awareness travel, but to no avail.

    Zhao Yao frowned. ¡°I have covered more than two hundred kilometers and I still can¡¯t ess them? Is it some kind of power that is preventing me from using Awareness travel and Dimensional Space?¡±

    ¡°And...¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at his palm, there was a wound healing itself. The speed of the recovery was much slower than before, however, the situation onlysted for a few minutes and his recovery speed increased.

    ¡°I feel like my body just got weaker.¡±

    The 12 alien cats were thrown away along the way. He was afraid that there would be trackers on the cats and did not have the effort to look after them.

    ¡°First, there are two powers dealing with me now.¡±

    Zhao Yao was thinking to himself, ¡°One is the mechanical army. At least millions of soldiers surrounded me just now. Furthermore, this was originally one of the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s weapons factories. There must be a lot more weapons on the and it is meaningless to fight them here. If I cannot escape, I¡¯m afraid that by the end of all the fighting, I will still be trapped.

    Zhao Yao did not believe that they prepared all of this just for the weak soldiers to deal with him. It was probably only the first attack and was supposed to test and wear him out.

    ¡°The second one is that now, my body is ¡®weak¡¯. Although I am unsure what is the cause of it, it is also unclear what will happen if itsts...¡±

    ¡°This is not good.¡±

    Zhao Yao was thinking about it and grew angry again. ¡°This is not enough to kill.¡±

    After a few minutes, there was a violent shaking and there a huge drill broke through rocks and sediments and came directly under where Zhao Yao stood. Then, the drill opened and a nuclear bomb was released. Nuclear fusion started in the enclosed underground space and exploded.

    The floor was torn apart and millions of tonnes of sand rushed towards the sky. High temperature lightning filled the entire explosion zone and magma flowed out to the surface of the. The surface of the turned into a living hell.

    At the same time, two hundred kilometers away, Zhao Yao walked out from Time Freeze. ¡°Who knew that bathing in nuclear would be enjoyable. I wonder if Uncle Ho will lend me a few nuclear bombs to y with.¡±

    ¡°Probably not. He probably would not lend them to me.¡±

    This was the first time Zhao Yao was directly impacted by a nuclear bomb. The first few times, he had hidden in the Dimension Portal and was not impacted.

    ¡°Now, that I have died once...¡± Zhao Yao checked out his body conditions. Zhao Yao died intentionally to revive, just to see if he could get rid of the tracking and weakness after being reborn. Also, if he could use Dimension Portal and Awareness travel again.

    He checked and realize that the weakening feeling was indeed gone but Awareness travel and the Dimension Portal still could not be used.

    After realizing that the soldiers were no longer after him, Zhao Yao figured. ¡°So, the weakening and tracking is the same kind of power. It can be removed by reviving. Then, the ban on using Dimension Portal and Awareness travel either it is caused by technology like the soldiers or there is a third power attacking me?¡±

    Zhao Yao thought about it and started running again. He ran a few thousand kilometers and he still could not use the Dimension Portal and Awareness travel.

    IIt covers the entire?¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes narrowed. ¡°That much?¡±

    Then, Zhao Yao¡¯s gaze grew solemn and the weakening feeling engulfed him again.

    ¡°Again?¡±

    A few momentster, the crowd of mechanical soldiers surrounded Zhao Yao.

    After dodging around and killing a few million soldiers, Zhao Yao rushed out and hid again.

    ¡°The powers are cast that far? How do they cast it? What are the prerequisites?¡±

    The soldiers that were surrounding Zhao Yao increased in number and they were getting harder and harder to deal with. In fact, there were more elite mechanical soldiers.

    Soldiers that had the ability to cause a nuclear explosion, soldiers that could shoot out positron and nanoparticles, soldiers that could assemble and disassemble as they liked, all increased in number. There were also soldiers to fight against Zhao Yao¡¯s force fields as they were equipped with anti gravitational engines, soldiers that could spread viruses to deal with Ultra Rapid Regeneration and soldiers that could weaken physical abilities...

    As Zhao Yao fought, more and more information was collected and the soldiers were more and more targeted to deal with specific powers. Zhao Yao had to spend more time getting himself away and he was being found more quickly too.

    On the military, as Zhao Yao fought with the Long Fur Tribe, the battlefield was constantly moving around at the speed of sound. Every time it moved, there was mass destruction.

    Large amounts ofnd were broken and torn.

    Mountains copsed, rivers disappeared, andkes were evaporated.

    Large amounts of steam and sand rose into the sky.

    More than half the was engulfed in darkness and the other half was overrun with volcanic ashes, storms, floods, earthquakes, and other natural disasters.

    If the were Earth, then it would be a situation where the global civilization would be badly hit, 90% of the poption would be dead, the environment would be disastrous and almost no life would be able to survive.

    In the three thousand meter tall tower, the orange cat was watching Zhao Yao approach the tower. Heughed. ¡°He noticed our existence? This is too small. Sooner orter, he would have found us. But, the closer he gets to the tower, the stronger the curse gets.¡±

    On the battlefield, a dozen of kilometers away, Zhao Yao charged towards the tower repeatedly and the force field he released was like countless typhoons crashing across thend. Everywhere it went, the soldiers fell onto the floor like dumplings.

    However, there was a portion of soldiers with anti-gravity engines. Zhao Yao had to kill them physically.

    The deeper Zhao Yao went, the closer he got to the tower, he could feel that his body was weakening at a faster rate.

    ¡°The cat who cast the power is in the tower. So the closer I get, the stronger the effects?¡±

    He calcted the rate at which he was weakening and his current body condition. He frowned and started retreating.

    ¡°No, the rate at which I am weakening is elerating. By the time I reach there, I will have a huge decrease in capabilities.¡±

    ¡°Haizz, I spent too little time training. Sphynx cat¡¯s powers have just reached Lv73. He did not have time to increase his physical capabilities to Lv70 and above, which is the same as a Huge Cat God.¡±

    ¡°Then, I can only...¡±

    Inside the tower, the orange catughed. ¡°Escaping? He is so timid.¡±

    ¡°He isn¡¯t timid.¡± Another voice sounded. ¡°With the conditions his body is in now, if he decides to break in, due to the increase rate of your curse. He will not be able to get out.¡±

    ¡°He made his calctions and realized that he could not break in.¡±

    The twelve supercats that were rescued sat at the side and listen to the Marshals talk quietly.

    The Robot Marshal and Cmity Marshal were in charge of dealing with Zhao Yao this time.

    The orange cat, Cmity Marshal, said, ¡°So that¡¯s why? However, he is just dying time. As time passes, my curse will worsen and his situation will only get worse.¡±

    ¡°Will it?¡± The Robot Marshal said. ¡°Do you remember the time when the curse suddenly failed?¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao was wandering around. He was fighting and running at the same time.

    Under the surveince of Cmity Marshal and Robot Marshal, Zhao Yao was chased around the but he only managed to survive because of his regeneration and revival powers. However, as his physical abilities were deteriorating, it was just a matter of time before he was caught.

    Two hourster, they realized that Zhao Yao started charging towards the tower again.

    ¡°Hehe, is this thest struggle? He wants to give it onest try before hepletely loses the ability to fight?¡± Cmity Marshal announced, ¡°It¡¯s about to end.¡±

    Dozens of kilometers away Zhao Yao smiled. He fought for so long just to wait for Time Freeze¡¯s rebirth to cool down.

    Now, with rebirth, he had the confidence.

    In a world of stillness, he approached the tower and crushed the entire base of the tower and released a huge force field and then he tore the tower down level by level. He saw the orange cat at the top of the tower and grabbed the orange cat by the head.

    ¡°This is the supercat?¡±

    He grabbed the cat¡¯s head and Zhao Yao¡¯s face changed. He smashed the cat¡¯s head onto the floor and the electricponents were exposed.

    He smashed all 12 other cats and they were all fake robotic cats.

    ¡°This tower is a trap?¡± Zhao Yao was surprised. ¡°Then, why do I feel like my physical abilities deteriorate faster when I get nearer? Was I mistaken about how their powers work?¡±

    Upon feeling that something was not right, Zhao Yao frowned. ¡°No, I used Time Freeze to get close to them, so I would not feel anything.¡±

    To find out the truth, Zhao Yao deactivated his Time Freeze and the robotic cats in front of him sparked and the entire tower started to self destruct. The fire was about to engulf Zhao Yao and he also felt that his body did not weaken further. The cat who cast the powers wasn¡¯t here.

    In the space station outside the atmosphere, Cmity Marshal looked at the mechanical tower that was crushed andughed. ¡°Luckily you are cautious. But, how did you know he would be able to charge in?¡±

    ¡°I wasn¡¯t sure before this,¡± Robot Marshal said calmly. ¡°But, do you remember that there was an instant where he got rid of your curse and then appeared somewhere else?¡±

    As a cat that was known for his logical and calm thinking, Robot Marshal would only fight when he had the absolute advantage. He would not give his opponents any chance.

    It was the same situation as today, when the opponent¡¯s powers were unclear, he would not fight the opponent directly. He would spend lots of money to change the environment and control it from far away.

    Cmity Marshal nodded. ¡°He has escaped from the curse again. Heh heh, he does he think he can get away?¡±

    Cmity Marshal stuck out his paw and started drawing on a piece of white paper. He drew Zhao Yao on the paper, then drew a circle on it and scattered his fur on it.

    The odd power surged towards Zhao Yao and then Cmity Marshal red. He scolded. ¡°It has been reflected again. If it happens a few more times, I won¡¯t even take it anymore...¡±

    Cmity Marshal released the curse on himself and cast it again. After three times, he finally seeded.

    The battle turned into a battle of attrition. Robot Marshal and Cmity Marshal did not give Zhao Yao a chance to fight directly. They used curse and robot troops to dy Zhao Yao and to trap him on the. They wanted to weaken his capabilities.

    However, Zhao Yao managed to survive with his strong physical abilities. His physical abilities which improved under such harsh conditions slowed down the curse.

    An interster warship was summoned and it started to fire at Zhao Yao, who was on the surface of the.

    A dozen of hourster, the entire was burning and it had turned into a zing hell.

    Cmity Marshal said, ¡°Under such conditions and being pursued, he will not live for long.¡±

    Robot Marshal said slowly, ¡°I have contacted Gus and Tott. After they havepleted what they have on their hands and if we are still fighting, they wille.¡±

    ¡°The two of them?¡± Cmity Marshal¡¯s whiskers twitched. It was the names of the Virus Marshal and Exploding Scorch Marshal¡¯s name. Cmity Marshal swung his tail and said, ¡°I don¡¯t think there is a need for the four of us to deal with a nobody.¡±

    Robot Marshal said calmly. ¡°His survival abilities and escape abilities far exceeds my expectations. Furthermore, he has showcased recovery abilities. This is too simr to the cat made humans in Cmity¡¯s project.

    Furthermore, he has nted a mole in the high ranking authorities. His importance has exceed what I am responsible for.

    I think that it is important for the four of us to take action and capture him.¡±

    Cmity Marshal shook his head and said with assurance and reluctance. ¡°You are too cautious. If four Marshals take action, hardly any cats in the gxy will be able to escape.¡±

    Meanwhile, Zhao Yao looked at the increasing number of warships in the sky and scolded. ¡°Do they want to burn this into ss? All I did was to take a few cats, is it necessary to be so aggressive?¡±

    One dayter.

    In the depths of the mantleyer.

    Zhao Yao was pushing the molten material away as he moved forward like a fish.

    Six hours ago, the surface of the was no longer fit for survival. The mechanics troops and the amount of warships increased continuously and Zhao Yao was exhaustingrge amounts of energy to battle every moment.

    Although he had Ultra Rapid Regeneration, it could not prevent weariness.

    To avoid the troops from pursuing him further, Zhao Yao went deep into the mantle depths and used the naturally high temperature and pressure environment to block most of the warships and troops outside.

    But, there was still a part of the troops that could still pursue him...

    Zhao Yao¡¯s ears twitched and he turned his head. Although his vision was non existent with the molten substances, he could still identify things from the vibrations.

    ¡°They are here again? So fast...¡±

    A few thousand meters away, there hundreds of elite soldiers were tracking the location of Zhao Yao. Their bodies were made of the newest invented superalloy and they had anti gravitational engine inside their bodies. They even had weapons like frozen guns and sma lightsabers to fight in the mantleyer.

    Upon hearing something, Zhao Yao stopped and then he charged towards the enemy.

    He punched and the Deflective Field swept across the field. It brought about an energy that was approximately a few million tonnes.

    Due to the molten material around them, the energy was weakened and as it spread outwards, it depleted quickly. By the time the energy reached the soldiers, it was so weak that it only moved their bodies slightly.

    Zhao Yao used that chance to detect where the soldiers were and then he pushed away the surrounding molten objects. He reached out and grabbed the head of an elite soldier.

    Pom!

    There was a loud sound and the soldier¡¯s head was affected but he was not killed. His hands shot out ultra cold rays and his legs turned into two sma swords and shed towards Zhao Yao.

    However, Zhao Yao was faster. He held onto the soldier¡¯s palm and shook it. The attack dissipated and then, he punched him through the chest and the force field spread out and it crushed the soldier into a ball of metal.

    ¡°So hard.¡± Zhao Yao frowned. The new elite troops that had appeared were much harder to deal with than the ones before. Evidently, they were created for the mantleyer environment.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s gaze grew solemn as he attacked the other soldiers. A few minutester, the wreckage was swallowed by the surrounding molten metal and he swam to other ces in the mantleyer.

    ¡°Heh heh, this environment is just right for me to practice. The passive environment and active training will increase my physical capabilities greatly.¡±

    Meanwhile, in the space station, Cmity Marshal¡¯s face fell. ¡°A weak cat ve hid from us for so long...¡±

    Robot Marshal said, ¡°He did not have to borrow powers. This means that even without supercats, he can use his superpowers freely. Humans must not be able to attain such abilities.¡±

    Cmity Marshal said, ¡°Rest assured, he will not be able to escape. He cannot use Dimensional Travel and Awareness travel. He will not be able to leave the. No matter what he does, he is just stalling time.¡±

    Robot Marshal said, ¡°It is not enough... Gus and Tott are here.¡±

    As they spoke the cabin door opened and two cats walked in. One cat was covered in mechanics and another covered in white mes.

    The cat in white mes was Exploding Scorch Marshal. Heughed. ¡°Robot, Cmity I heard that you guys spent a dozen hours trying to catch a cat ve and failed. I am actually the same rank as cats like you.¡±

    Cmity Marshal: ¡°Exploding Scorch, you are looking for death...¡±

    Virus Marshal who was covered in mechanics said coldly, ¡°I have no time to look at you guys quarrel. Where is he? I will leave after settling this.¡±

    Robot Marshal said, ¡°Virus Marshal is right. We need to hurry up. He should not have much strength left. The four of us can attack together and capture him as fast as possible.¡±

    Cmity Marshal: ¡°Remember to not kill him. We need him alive.We have a lot of intel to gather from him.¡±

    ¡°Noted!¡± Exploding Scorch¡¯s mes rose and he was the first to charge out. He turned into a meteor and flew to the surface of the.

    Upon seeing the that was burnt into a fiery ball, he rejoiced. ¡°Hahaha, it¡¯s so pretty! Let me add more fire!¡±

    In the mantleyer, Zhao Yao, who was swimming around at a fast speed raised his head. ¡°Something ising.¡±

    Then, his vision brightened and he could see again.

    The surrounding molten materials turned into mes and spread out, revealing arge empty space.

    At the same time, a fiery tunnel that appeared on top of Zhao Yao¡¯s head. It was a fiery tunnel that Exploding Scorch Marshal had created using his own powers. He had turned all the magma into mes.

    As the tunnel rose up, arge amount of soldiers swarmed into the mantleyer and attacked Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao red. ¡°They brought me back up?¡±

    There was an overwhelming amount of mecha forces attacking towards Zhao Yao and all the elite war machines released the high-energy particle, energy weapons, force fields, radiation, and electromaism. They were out to destroy everything in front of them.

    Zhao Yao was in a rampage and his body traveled at ten times the speed of light. He was like a meteor that turned the mechanics army into scrap metal wherever he went.

    Soon, he felt that he was getting slower and slower. The force field and energy used on him were getting stronger, there were also more superalloy soldiers blocking his way. Hence, his speed was decreasing.

    At the same time, Cmity Marshal, who was wearing armor and hiding in the mechanics army, attacked.

    It was no longer the distance curse, a variety of bad luck, illness, and counter curses were cast on Zhao Yao.

    Originally Zhao Yao could fight the mechanics troop, but now he felt pressure. Although Zhao Yao was attacking he would hurt himself and there would be times where he didn¡¯t manage to dodge the bullets. His skin started to bleed then he would start coughing and get dizzy for no reason.

    Although Zhao Yao was suffering, Cmity Marshal was more ufortable. He was coughing constantly in his armor. ¡°That stupid rebound ability, when I catch him, I must ask whose power it is.¡±

    As Cmity Marshal and Robot Marshal attacked, Exploding Scorch Marshal and Virus Marshal also activated their powers.

    Large amounts of materials were turned into mes and the white mes looked the same. Some were tens of thousands of degrees celsius and some even reached a temperature of a million degrees celsius. They were in various shapes and the sea of fire swept towards Zhao Yao.

    In the face of such rming attacks, Zhao Yao was at a disadvantage immediately as his right hand was evaporated. After it was regenerated, he spent lots of time dodging the mes.

    Meanwhile, the armor around Virus Marshal transformed asrge openings appeared on it. ck smoke spewed out from the opening, but it did not surge towards Zhao Yao immediately. Instead, it mixed together with the mes.

    As the ck smoke poured in, the color of the mes turned to purple and they also expanded in size.

    Virus and Exploding Scorch controlled their powers to mix the mes and toxin fog together. The toxins were not burnt by the mes, instead it gave the mes terrible virus powers.

    Under the attack of the four Marshals, Zhao Yao was dodging clumsily and seemed like he would be defeated anytime.

    Robot Marshal: ¡°His physical capabilities have improved over these few days of fighting. Or else, ording to the data we collected a few days ago, he would have long been dead.¡±

    ¡°And his rebound powers, they are unable to reflect powers that were originally there. Like the toxin fog and mes, they were already created by Exploding Scorch and Virus then controlled to attack him. This will not cause a rebound.¡±

    ¡°It was right to get them to support us.¡±

    Then, Robot Marshal reminded them: ¡°Be careful, it is time for his rebirth.¡±

    Cmity Marshal, who was hiding behind the mechanic soldiers, let out a yell and flew out. There were exploding soundsing from his armor constantly, then it turned into a piece of paper and dissipated into the air.

    Cmity Marshal floated out from the void of space. ¡°It was so close. Luckily the puppet died for me.¡±

    Zhao Yao used Time Freeze rebirth to attack Cmity Marshal and ran along the tunnel to the surface of Earth.

    He was badly injured and he looked at his body that was constantly regenerating. He was shocked. ¡°Four Marshal cats? Wow, this is so much hatred. I wonder if that cat died just now. If he dies, my experience points are going to be deducted.¡±

    ¡°Rebirth is cooling down again. I need to drag on for a while more¡± Zhao Yao started calcting. ¡°If I drag this on for a few more days, it will be the end of the month, then I should be able to im the Cat Emperor Armor.¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s gaze turned cold. ¡°Then, I can only use that method.¡± He looked at the warships that flew over, went over to tear all the mechanic troops apart and escaped.

    However, the four Marshals were not going to let Zhao Yao off so easily. After Cmity Marshal cast the curse again, the four of them caught up with Zhao Yao.

    After another series of fights, Zhao Yao was escaping and the four Marshals were in pursuit.

    In ten minutes, Zhao Yao¡¯s injuries were difficult to heal due to the toxins, curse, and mes. His physical capabilities fell to less than half.

    Exploding Scorch wasughing. ¡°Hahahaha, it feels so good to fight like this! This guy is natural punching bag!¡±

    Cmity: ¡°We are taking so long even when the four of us are working together. Is this guy really a human?¡±

    Virus: ¡°He would be great to experiment on.¡±

    Then, many force fields trapped Zhao Yao and held him down like a jail.

    Upon seeing that Zhao Yao was about to escape, Robot Marshal shouted, ¡°We are about to seed! Don¡¯t kill him, catch him alive!¡±

    As the force fields were being offset, Cmity Marshal activated the stoning curse. Then, Zhao Yao and Cmity Marshal started to turn into a stone.

    Cmity Marshal.: ¡°Jerk! This is a huge loss! Huge loss! Robot, when you go back you must customize for me a hundred pretty robotic cats!¡±

    Meanwhile, there were lights showing on Zhao Yao¡¯s body. Virus Marshal: ¡°His physical strength is being absorbed by Blood Zhi.¡±

    When Zhao Yao was about to be captured alive, his body jerked and then exploded into a bloody fog. It dissipated into the air and disappeared.

    Robot Marshal was surprised. ¡°Hemitted suicide to be revived? But, ording to the statistics, his cool down for rebirth should be 165 minutes. Or does he know that he was about to be caught so he rebirth purposely?¡±

    Cmity Marshal: ¡°No, he isn¡¯t dead yet.¡±

    Exploding Scorchughed. ¡°He isn¡¯t dead yet? Where is he? I want to burn another down.¡±

    Arge amount of mechanic soldiers were sent to the Robot Marshal¡¯s space station for repair and reconstruction after being damaged by Zhao Yao.

    There was a blood stain on one of the mechanic soldier armor. It started to wiggle and in a few seconds, it regenerated and became Zhao Yao.

    It was Ultra Rapid Regeneration¡¯s blood revival effects.

    The next moment, Zhao Yao entered the Awareness Dimension.

    Cmity Marshal clenched his teeth. ¡°This fellow, he still has powers that we do not know of. He is still alive. He went to your space station and escaped into Awareness Dimension.¡±

    Robot Marshal asked, ¡°Is he in the material world now?¡±

    Cmity Marshal: ¡°No, I think he knows that he is being tracked. He is hiding in the Awareness Dimension.¡±

    Exploding Scorch Marshal. ¡°What! So do we have to wait here?¡±

    Robot Marshal: ¡°In the Awareness Dimension, although the awareness can exist forever, but his physical body cannot. In 1 200 universe hours, he will have to return to the material dimension.¡±

    There wererge amounts of robotic cats working in front of the cats.

    Robot Marshal said, ¡°When he returns to the material world, we will use this Space Fold portal to go find him.¡±

    After being away from the material world for long, he will not be able to reenter the Awareness Dimension for awhile. This time, he will not be able to escape.

    Exploding Scorch Marshal: ¡°This guys is something. He is able to hold us at bay for so long? When I catch him, I will roast him! I wonder what he tastes like.¡±

    Cmity Marshal was also unhappy. Cat ves only had averagebat abilities. He only had normal physical attacks, he wasn¡¯t able to kill anyone of them individually.

    The key was that he could revive, regenerate, had various defenses and could reflect.

    When he was injured that badly, he could still escape into the Awareness Dimension.

    He had held off the four of them for so long.

    Robot Marshal: ¡°You cannot kill him. Hence, Exploding Scorch you cannot roast him.¡±

    Exploding Scorch: ¡°He can regenerate. If I were to cut meat off from him everyday, would there be an unlimited amount of meat? I am a genius. I just solved the food shortage problem in the universe.¡±

    ...

    In awareness dimension, Zhao Yao looked at the chaotic world and heaved a sigh of relief.

    ¡°The four of them did not continue with the pursuit. I no longer have to escape for now.¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t return to Closers World. I don¡¯t know if they can track dreamscapes. There are cats in Long Fur Tribe who are good at using awareness energy too, I cannot take the risk.¡±

    Zhao Yao was thinking. ¡°I also cannot use Extradimensional Belly to return to Earth. My body is still weak, it means that I am still being tracked. If I go back, they will find Earth.¡±

    ¡°A few more days and I can redeem the Cat Emperor Armor. Before that, let¡¯s not risk anything.¡±

    A few dayster in the awareness dimension, Zhao Yao looked at the Book and thought, ¡°The monthly settlements finally came in.¡±

 Chapter 1104: Charging Account

    <h4>Chapter 1104: Charging ount</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    It was time for the end of month summary. Zhao Yao looked at the Book and he obtained experience points from his business profits.

    The profits from Cat Wondend Street was extremely high as more people were paying attention to him after he used his connections to borrowrge sums of money.

    Friends were afraid that Zhao Yao did not have enough money and needed to borrow from them. Hence they used their efforts to boost the businesses on Cat Wondend Street for him to earn more profits.

    For this month, Zhao Yao obtained more than 200 000 experience points from the profits.

    Book was now Book: Level 9 (2 717 917/200 000)

    ¡°I have more than 2 000 000 experience points I can use.¡±

    His eyes lit up as he looked at his 1000 lottery draws. He waited every month just for the pleasure of having lottery draws. He could not wait any longer as he started the draws.

    50 experience points.

    100 experience points.

    50 experience points.

    Cat Spicy Strip.

    Cat Emperor Armor Fragment.

    ...

    Ten consecutive lottery draws! Ten consecutive lottery draws! Ten consecutive lottery draws!

    The lottery rewards shed before his eyes and the 1000 draws were used up. Zhao Yao felt mentally drained after that.

    However, he perked up when he noticed that the Cat Emperor Armor Fragment waspleted.

    ¡°Direct exchange!¡±

    He felt an extra item in his awareness as a message appeared in his mind.

    Cat Emperor Armor: After the fusion of several superpowers of supercats, it is a high-end mecha created from dark technology.

    Attribute 1, Organic Armor Layer: The organic armor is made of the user¡¯s cells and it improves with the user¡¯s level upgrades. There are unlimited revivals. It increases the user¡¯s defense and constitution by 100% permanently.

    Attribute 2, Dual Superpowers: It is able to store two superpowers which can be used simultaneously.

    Attribute 3, Wild Warrior: It is able to replenish energy from the air. Duringbat, the body¡¯s energy will never run out.

    Attribute 4, Virtual Storage: The armor can be stored in a personal virtual space during normal times and be ready forbat at an instance.

    Attribute 5, Cat Emperor¡¯s Power: All the superpowers are boosted by +10.

    Attribute 6, Free Styling: The style and color can be changed at will.

    Zhao Yao could not help but feel think: ¡°Awesome!¡±

    ¡°Amazing!¡±

    ¡°This is too incredible!¡±

    ¡°Especially the part on using two superpowers simultaneously. After adding my personal superpower, I have three superpowers simultaneously and they are having a +10 increase.¡±

    ¡°Oh no, I¡¯m feeling invincible. What should I do?¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed wildly. He wanted to see how the Cat Emperor Armor looked like and whether he looked nice in it.

    He realized that he was in the Awareness Dimension and he could not see his newly exchanged item.

    When traveling in the Awareness Dimension, he was able to bring part of his belongings. With the armor¡¯s attribute 4, Virtual Storage, Zhao Yao could feel that he had an added item in his awareness and he could manifest it anytime.

    If he returned to the material realm, he could be attacked by the Long Fur Tribe. Zhao Yao thought, ¡°I¡¯ll dy wearing the armor. I¡¯ll improve it first, then I¡¯ll wear it in the material realm.¡±

    Zhao Yao pped the Improvement Stones excitedly on the Cat Emperor Armor until it reached +7. The armor had two extra attributes.

    Attribute 7, Cat Emperor¡¯s Dominant Body: The user is unable to be controlled by any superpower.

    Attribute 8, ck and Sturdy: Every second of harm increases the defense and darkness by 1%. After 20 seconds of not suffering any damage, it goes back to zero. It is not effective if the harm is done by the user. The maximum cap is 300%.

    Zhao Yao was overjoyed to see the two extra attributes.

    ¡°Let¡¯s see who can beat me to death!¡±

    ¡°Whether it¡¯s a solo or group fight, with these two extra attributes, my survivability is super high. If I meet those four cats again, I¡¯ll be able to defeat them.¡±

    He acquired the Improvement Hammer, which cost 100 000 experience points each for improving the armor beyond +7.

    Zhao Yao waved his hand and exchanged 10 Improvement Hammers, using 1 000 000 experience points. He used them on the Cat Emperor Armor.

    The improvement was sessful.

    The improvement failed.

    The improvement failed.

    The improvement failed.

    After using up ten Improvement Hammers, Zhao Yao exchanged experience points for another ten.

    Zhao Yao used up 20 Improvement Hammers which were equivalent to 30 Improvement Stones.

    The Cat Emperor Armor was improved to +15 and the armor had two extra attributes.

    Attribute 9, Damage Reflection: 50% chance of reflecting 0.1 times of inflicted damage, 10% chance of reflecting 0.5 times of inflicted damage, 1% chance of reflecting 1 times of inflicted damage, 0.1% chance of reflecting 10 times of inflicted damage.

    Attribute 10, Dominant Cat¡¯s Defense: Damage is reduced to 5% of the attack and the rest of the attack is negated.

    Zhao Yao was exhrated by the two new attributes. He could not wait for someone to beat him up so that he could test the effects.

    The Superpower Resistance of Sphynx cat was only able to reflect superpower attacks but the attribute 9 of the armor reflected all attacks. The Cat Emperor Armor had be a super hedgehog.

    Zhao Yao was amused. ¡°This is different from my original way of fighting. With this reflection, isn¡¯t better for more people to attack me?¡±

    He shook his awareness and threw his wild thoughts out of his mind. He looked at his Book and noticed that he had about 700 000 experience points left.

    ¡°Hmm, should I improve my equipment? Or should I use the crimson stone?¡±

    With the improvement of the Diamond Hall, a new item, the crimson stone, was added to the hall. It could be added to an equipment to improve its capability.

    ¡°Or use the experience points to upgrade Book? And contract a new supercat?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at his experience points and the items in the Diamond Hall. He could not make up his mind.

    ¡°No, with that many experience points, my urge to improve the equipment is unstoppable. Who could resist the temptation?!¡±

    ¡°Besides the improvement of my equipment, I have no interest in doing other things!!¡±

    He exchanged all his experience points for 7 Improvement Hammers and used them on the Cat Emperor Armor.

    After two sessful improvements, the Cat Emperor Armor reached +17 and there was another new attribute.

    Attribute 11, Cat¡¯s Fire Immunity: Complete immunity to all me attacks.

    ¡°Oh? There¡¯s such an attribute?¡± Zhao Yao smiled. ¡°This is best used against that cat.¡±

    ...

    In the Robot Marshal¡¯s space station.

    Cmity Marshal¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°He¡¯s back. He has descended to the material realm.¡± He told the exact location to the Robot Marshal.

    Exploding Scorch said, ¡°He¡¯s finally back. Send us over.¡±

    Virus got into his repaired mecha and looked in the direction of the Space Fold portal.

    Seeing blue rays lighting up, a group of robot cats gathered at the portal. The other cats said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. We won¡¯t let him have the chance to escape.¡±

    With the shing of the Space Fold portal, space distorted violently.

    Virus, Cmity, Exploding Scorch and several hundred feline robots shed as they traveled thousands of light years before arriving at a deste.

    The¡¯s sky was dark and its surface was cracked. The was filled with endless deserts.

    Strong winds blew constantly in therge desert as the sand swirled around like bullets.

    This was not inhabitable by most life forms. There were no water sources and the air was filled with grinding sand. The¡¯s surface was ravaged by sandstorms. Any spaceships that ventured into the atmosphere would be turned to sieves.

    The four marshals felt the hostile environment the moment theynded. They opened their eyes to survey thend a few hundred meters before them.

    An energy field repulsed the sandstorm and created a few hundred square meters of silent space.

    Zhao Yao stood quietly in the middle and observed the space-folding Long Fur cats.

    Zhao Yao was engulfed by his golden armor. His long ck hair flowed down from his helmet and rippled in the gentle breeze.

    He looked like the golden Saint Seiya.

    Zhao Yao was pleased with his styling.

    He was extremely pleased that he could wear the Cat Emperor Armor on the outside while the Cat Prince Costume could be worn inside. Both effects could be used together.

    With the two items, Zhao Yao could activate four superpowers at the same time.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s inted ego was about to explode.

    Seeing Zhao Yao standing obediently, Cmity Marshalughed sinisterly. ¡°You are waiting there and not fleeing? Are you surrendering?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t surrender!¡± Exploding Scorch¡¯s body burst into mes that broke through the surrounding sandbags and engulfed hispanions. With his superior control, the mes with a temperatue of a million degree celsius did not harm any of hispanions.

    ¡°I¡¯m roasting one of his legs.¡±

    The Robot Marshal¡¯s voice came out from the robot cat, ¡°Don¡¯t let down your guard. He doesn¡¯t seem right...¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? The four of us are attacking a cat ve and we need to be cautious?¡± Exploding Scorch charged and fired a thick beam of light made of scorching mes towards Zhao Yao. After an enormous explosion, a sandstorm arose while the earth cracked open. Exploding Scorch created a ravine that was ten kilometers long and three kilometers wide with the attack.

    Zhao Yao remained motionless in his position. The ground underneath him was intact. He smiled at Exploding Scorch and said, ¡°Do the four of you like to y games? You¡¯ll have lots of games to y in the future.¡±

    The Robot Marshal became wary. ¡°Be careful! There¡¯s a change in hisbat power!¡±

    ¡°What arrogance!¡± Exploding Scorch roared as white hot mes shot into the sky and prated the atmosphere like an erupting volcano.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to burn you to death!¡±

    The sandstorm caught fire and the atmosphere burst into mes. From Exploding Scorch as the starting point, the deste gradually became golden red in color.

    Exploding Scorch could turn all non-living things into mes with his superpower. Once, he ignited a¡¯s atmosphere and turned all life into ash.

    Though he had used all his efforts to attack, he saw Zhao Yao standing at his original location and looking at him casually. Zhao Yao was standing in the inferno but he was unharmed.

    ¡°How could it be?¡± Exploding Scorch found it hard to believe. ¡°I used up to 30 000 degrees celsius mes to burn him. From an energy viewpoint, I¡¯m able to burn through a mountain. How can he still be intact?¡±

    Attribute 11, Cat¡¯s Fire Immunity: Complete immunity to all me attacks.

    Zhao Yao looked at the Cat Emperor Armor¡¯s attribute 11 andmunicated with the cats using his power of awareness.

    ¡°Don¡¯t waste your energy. mes are ineffective against me.¡±

    ¡°Frankly speaking, I don¡¯t even know how strong I am now.¡±

    Zhao Yao said earnestly, ¡°Perhaps in this universe, nobody¡¯s my match. You¡¯ll help me to test. I¡¯ll stand here and see if you can harm me.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re too arrogant!¡±

    All the cats felt that either Zhao Yao had be silly or he had gone mad.

    Exploding Scorch¡¯s temper red. ¡°I don¡¯t believe I can¡¯t burn you to ash!¡±

    He continuously scorched Zhao Yao with mes but his efforts were in vain. With the Dark and Sturdy attribute of the Cat Emperor Armor, Zhao Yao¡¯s defenses and darkness were increased.

    Zhao Yao thought, ¡°What a good defense mechanism.¡±

    Hundreds of feline robots emitted energy waves and all their cannons shed with dark rays as they aimed at Zhao Yao.

    They were the finest creation of the Robot Marshal. All of them were made using countless resources, efforts, and the best technology.

    The robot warriors that Zhao Yao encountered were inferior to the feline robots in terms of power, energy, strength, and weaponry.

    Previously, the Robot Marshal could not bear to use the robot cats against Zhao Yao. However, there was a limit for space-folding units, hence he deployed his elite feline robots to deal with Zhao Yao.

    Hundreds of positron cannons that could prate a space cruiser and tten a continent fired on Zhao Yao.

    From outer space, one could see a shocking bright ray erupt from the mes and sandstorm. It was like a rising sun and it caused arge expanse ofnd to copse, crack, and sink. Sand and mud were kicked up and they formed a violent sandstorm that looked like the end of time.

    Zhao Yao did not do anything in the face of this terrifying attack. He hugged his chest with both his hands and stood motionless. With the attacks... he became darker and darker.

    With the simultaneous attack of the positron cannons, Zhao Yao¡¯s body was damaged 8% and the Ultra Rapid Regeneration healed him immediately.

    Every simultaneous firing of the positron cannons could only damage up to 8% of Zhao Yao¡¯s body. As Zhao Yao became darker, his damage dwindled.

    More than half of the feline robots exploded as they crashed to the ground.

    Another two feline robots were vaporized by an unknown energy. That was the Cat Emperor Armor¡¯s 0.1% chance of a ten times reflected damage.

    Only the feline robots attacked while Zhao Yao stood motionless. However, more than half of the feline robots were destroyed while he remained intact. With the Dark and Sturdy attribute of his armor, he and his armor became darker.

    Zhao Yao looked at the feline robots who had stopped attacking. ¡°They¡¯re weak. Even if they had more robots, they would still be like wild grass to me.¡±

    Cmity Marshal hid among the feline robots and surveyed Zhao Yao who was shrouded in a dark mist. He was so nervous that he shed his fur continuously. ¡°This guy... Why is he making me feel like I¡¯m in danger?¡±

    He flicked his paws as he incanted curses.

    Zhao Yao frowned as he looked at Cmity Marshal and shook his head. ¡°I advise you not to attack. You¡¯ll die.¡±

    ¡°Humph.¡± Cmity Marshal would not listen to Zhao Yao. Instead, he used all his effort and activated his curse superpower.

    More than half of the curse attack was reflected by Zhao Yao¡¯s Superpower Resistance which was 83% effective due to Level 73 of Sphynx cat and the +10 Level increase of the Cat Emperor Armor.

    Cmity Marshal was only sessful in making Zhao Yao bleed as the rest of his attacks were reflected back onto him.

    He screamed in pain and almost passed out. He trembled continuously as he had used up more than half of his energy. With sicknesses and poisons affecting him, he grew weaker and weaker and lost allbat capability.

    Zhao Yao shook his head. ¡°He didn¡¯t die? He¡¯s pretty lucky.¡±

    Exploding Scorch was preparing for his big move. He traveled at a high speed towards Zhao Yao and transformed the sand and gravel in the atmosphere into mes.

    From Zhao Yao¡¯s location, a ming sandstorm that stretched over a thousand kilometers was formed. From outer space, it looked like the deste had opened one of its eyes.

    ¡°Burn all to ashes!¡±

    It did not matter whether the temperature of the fire sandstorm was in the thousands or millions of degree celsius as the Cat Emperor Armor provided Zhao Yao with full immunity.

    Zhao Yao opened his eyes and the mes with tens of thousands of degrees celsius were unable to harm his eyeballs.

    Zhao Yao let the mes slip into his eyes, nose, and mouth as he said, ¡°I¡¯ve told you that mes were ineffective against me.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about your small sparks, even if I bathe in the sun¡¯s core, I¡¯ll think that the temperature will be too low. Try other moves.¡±

    ¡°This is infuriating!¡± Exploding Scorch was too shocked to react. ¡°What¡¯s with his body? My mes were unable to harm him?¡±

    The Virus Marshal¡¯s mecha opened up and he created poison clouds that flew towards Zhao Yao. His body was made of poisonous organisms and there were billions of sickness and poisonous viruses cultivated by the Long Fur Tribe. Some viruses could easily wipe out an entire civilization and survive in harsh environments.

    New sicknesses and dangerous viruses were created every second.

    If he soaked himself in the Pacific Ocean, all life on Earth would perish.

    Zhao Yao let the poison cloud engulf his body as his dark body¡¯s defenses increased with the peeling of his skin which was immediately healed.

    Zhao Yao inhaled all of the poison cloud into his mouth.

    Virus was shocked. ¡°Is he mad?¡±

    Zhao Yao¡¯s internal organs, muscles and nervous system failed rapidly but they were immediately regenerated.

    With the shocking power of his lungs, Zhao Yao sucked in the poison cloud and mes as though he was the eye of a level ten typhoon. Then he spat out everything with a loud pop.

    Zhao Yao wiped his mouth and smiled. ¡°This is strong. Are there any other vors?¡±

    Virus was dumbstruck as he gazed at Zhao Yao. He was unable to react.

    Seeing the cats in a daze, Zhao Yao was very calm but he wasughing inside.

    He said in a rxed and calm manner, ¡°What¡¯s that? Do you want to try again?¡±

    The cats did not reply to him but looked at him with nervousness and hesitation.

    As the mainstay of the Long Fur Tribe, they wanted to kill Zhao Yao and felt that they could not do but would feel indignant if they fled.

    Zhao Yaoughed inside. ¡°I¡¯ve tested the capability of the Cat Emperor Armor. It¡¯s time to capture them...¡±

    Time was frozen. Zhao Yao shed and appeared beside Cmity Marshal. He flicked his finger and disintegrated the marshal¡¯s mecha.

    With a single thought, he opened a Dimension Portal and he threw Cmity Marshal inside.

    Time resumed and Zhao Yao stood in Cmity Marshal¡¯s position as he said, ¡°First one.¡±

    ¡°Cmity!!¡± Exploding Scorch shouted in a panic.

    Cmity Marshal vanished from their sight while Zhao Yao appeared at his position.

    The Virus Marshal¡¯s dark shrouding mist rose up behind him. ¡°What did you do to him?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°I sent him to the ce he deserved to be in. It¡¯s your turn...¡±

    Exploding Scorch said, ¡°You¡¯re detestable!¡±

    ¡°Flee!¡± The Robot Marshal made the feline robots shout, ¡°We¡¯re not his match! Flee to the Long Fur Tribe...¡±

    The remaining feline robots emitted cracking sounds as weird rays came out from their bodies and shot towards Zhao Yao.

    These were the self-destruct antimatter cannons that the hundreds of feline robots fired out of desperation. The power was enough to bring irreparable harm to the.

    For the next hundred to thousands of years, the would be shrouded in dust while its surface would be ravaged by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The would be a living hell.

    This was not considered by the Robot Marshal. He wanted to distract Zhao Yao and rescue Exploding Scorch and Virus.

    All the feline robots fired their cannons with the exception of one. That feline robot raised his paw and emitted space waves.

    It was the Space Fold return signal for opening the return portal.

    Time was frozen and elerated. All the antimatter cannons were aimed at the sky and the hundreds of shots looked as though a sword was impaled on the.

    The feline robots disintegrated as they fired theirst shots. They vanished together with the surrounding mes.

    The feline robot that emitted the return signal broke down into a pile of scrap metal like an aluminium can being ttened.

    ¡°It¡¯s a pity.¡± Zhao Yao appeared behind that feline robot and said, ¡°Aren¡¯t you over here? You¡¯re controlling these robots remotely?¡±

    Seeing the demise of the Robot Marshal, Virus Marshal shouted at Exploding Scorch, ¡°Flee, I¡¯ll cover you.¡±

    Zhao Yao turned his head to see a rolling dark clouding towards him. It was Virus Marshal¡¯s poison cloud.

    Weird stuff was swirling within the dark cloud. Zhao Yao could discern numerous figures shing and emitting shrill wails in the clouds.

    Virus Marshal had released all his sickness and poisonous viruses and he propagated their growth and evolution.

    The poison cloud contained the universe¡¯s most terrifying viruses and the cat-made viruses made by the Long Fur Tribe.

    Virus Marshal had been controlling these viruses all this time so he could control and use them.

    After Virus Marshal relinquished control and propagated the viruses for evolution, within a few seconds, the vile and terrifying viruses had evolved into something that even he could not understand.

    If they were left to grow and evolve, these viruses would be the gue of the. After destroying the, they would spread throughout the universe.

    Zhao Yao noticed thin tentacles growing in the rolling dark cloud and emitting strange noises.

    Within a short period of time, the viruses multiplied, evolved and broke free of the marshal¡¯s control.

    Zhao Yao inhaled deeply and exhaled.

    Violent winds ravaged the surrounding area within a several thousand meter radius. With the help of the Deflective Field, the winds transformed into tornadoes that engulfed the poison cloud and shrunk it into a small clump.

    Time froze.

    Zhao Yao shed and appeared beside the Virus Marshal. He punched and exploded the marshal¡¯s mecha, revealing the dark mist shell. Zhao Yao grasped at the poison mist.

    The Deflective Field engulfed the poison mist and Zhao Yao clenched his fist to squeeze the poison mist into the size of a ping pong ball.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°The second one... I¡¯ll imprison him first.¡±

    Zhao Yao pondered and swallowed the dark ball into his stomach. He maintained the Deflective Field to control the poison cloud.

    With his Cat Prince Costume and the Cat Emperor Armor, he activated four superpowers at the same time: Time Freeze, Training, Extradimensional Belly and Deflective Field.

    After subduing Virus, Zhao Yao looked at the sparks at the edge of the atmosphere. From the ming silhouette, he figured out the location of Exploding Scorch.

    In Exploding Scorch¡¯s eyes, Virus vanished like Cmity Marshal.

    The once noisy battlefield was left with Zhao Yao, Exploding Scorch, and the howling winds.

    ¡°Ah!¡± Exploding Scorch roared angrily at the sky, ¡°Where have you taken them? Return them to me!!¡± Furious mes swirled with his anger as the surrounding temperature soared rapidly. The air vibrated from his intense fury.

    Zhao Yao said calmly, ¡°I sent them to a ce that they deserved.¡±

    ¡°Ah! You¡¯re infuriating!!¡± Exploding Scorch charged at Zhao Yao while he bellowed, ¡°You shall die!¡±

    Rays as hot as the sun emanated from his every cell. He intended to self-destruct.

    Zhao Yao froze time and walked to his side. He tapped lightly on Exploding Scorch¡¯s head and ced him in the Extradimensional Belly.

    Time resumed and the Extradimensional Belly had one extra Long Fur cat without awareness.

    Zhao Yao was left alone on the deste battlefield. He lifted his head as if he was in deep thought. Then he vanished.

    In the distant fire, a tiny robot fly flew out and recorded all the images.

    Zhao Yao returned to the Extradimensional Belly and saw the unconscious Exploding Scorch and Cmity surrounded by supercats.

    Matcha stepped on Exploding Scorch¡¯s face and said, ¡°Take a pic. This is the alien cat that I defeated.¡±

    ¡°Alien cats again?¡± Dust Ball sized up Exploding Scorch and Cmity curiously. ¡°They look pretty neat.¡±

    Noodle waded through the crowd and wagged his tail excitedly. He spat out his tongue and shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t pretend Matcha. I¡¯m sure you didn¡¯t defeat them. Do you want to bet? If you defeated them, I¡¯ll do a live stream of myself eating poo!¡±

    Fish Ball squeezed out from underneath Noodle and said angrily, ¡°Noodle! Why did youe to the Extradimensional Belly to cheat others. I¡¯m telling Xiao Yu!¡±

    Noodle sat on Fish Ball with a thud and Fish Ball struggled wildly but he could not free himself.

    Zhao Yao surveyed the cats and said, ¡°Be careful. These two are powerful alien cats. And this one too...¡± Zhao Yao spat out Virus Marshal.

    A small ck ball was constantly circling Zhao Yao.

    ¡°This one too. Don¡¯t touch him. If the poison gas is released, the entire Earth¡¯s doomed.¡±

    Seeing that the cats were scared and in awe of him, Zhao Yao felt indifferent.

    ¡°Hmm, I have defeated such powerful alien cats but the people on Earth don¡¯t know about it. What¡¯s the point?¡±

    Zhao Yao was upset his feats were not recognized.

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and said, ¡°I¡¯m awesome but nobody knows. I¡¯m upset.¡±

    In the next moment, Book beeped and showed a new mission.

    Mission: Keep a Low Profile

    Mission Objective: As a powerful apostle with a low profile, you discovered the alien cats¡¯ threat. To protect the Earth, you decided to divulge the existence of the alien cats to the people on Earth. Remember to keep a low profile.

    Reward: The more people know about it, the more experience points you gain. The lowest is 5000 and the highest is 50000.

    Mission Penalty: None

    Zhao Yao smiled at his new mission. ¡°That¡¯s my good old Book. You¡¯re right. I can¡¯t keep a low profile at the expense of the Earth¡¯s safety. Hmm... Let me think how to tell everyone about this.¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡±

    Zhao Yao had ns in his mind but he was first going to hook up Cmity and Exploding Scorch with Closers World so that their awareness would be suppressed in the game.

    He looked at the ck ball that Virus Marshal was sealed inside of.

    ¡°Hey, are you able to return to your original form?¡±

    The poison mist remained motionless and there was no reply. He was notplying with Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao kept his wits and he had an idea.

    Zhao Yao was not going to force him to return to his original form. Instead, he would control the ball so that it circled him.

    ¡°Hmm, that¡¯s not bad. It¡¯s a trendy and functional weapon. You¡¯ll stay with me for the time being.¡±

    Zhao Yao opened the Dimension Portal and walked in. Then he headed towards the portal for the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s military.

    ...

    In his space station, Robot Marshall looked at the recorded video from the robot fly in silence.

    ¡°Cmity, Exploding Scorch and Virus vanished. It seems like he used his Dimension superpower.¡±

    ¡°When we started fighting, he was passively bracing himself against the attacks and didn¡¯t retaliate. He was that powerful just by using his defenses. Perhaps his actualbat power¡¯s even more terrifying.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve informed the President regarding the current situation. Hopefully they can think of a solution...¡±

    As he was in deep thought, his awareness rippled and he was puzzled by an iing message that said, ¡°A starship vanished in battle. Contact was lost with all crew members. I¡¯ll try tracking them.¡±

    He tried contacting the starship but it had disconnected from the quantumwork and closed its secret quantum connections. Even the secret Space Fold locators were not responding. He had no chance to locate the starship.

    If he had constructed and controlled the space cruiser, then he would have been able to find it.

    The Long Fur Tribe had many space cruisers and robots and unfortunately, Robot Marshal¡¯s superpower wasn¡¯t sensitive enough so it was impossible for him to control all the space cruisers. With the lost connection and two backup locators not responding, he was unable to locate the lost ship.

    ¡°It¡¯s a lost cause. It¡¯s most likely caused by the Short Fur Tribe.¡±

    Robot Marshal shook his head and gave his reply. He did not take it personally as damaged or lost starships weremon daily urrences. He was worried about the losses of the three marshals and the impact caused by the cat ve.

    On Earth, hundreds of countries¡¯ leaders gathered together to participate in a space travel conference that had not been held before.

    On this day, with close coboration of severalrge countries, the human race embarked on a new era of space exploration.

    After gathering all major space agencies with thetest technology, the Earth Space Administration was sessfulunched.

    The first human-filled spaceship bound for Mars started construction and would be ready forunch in a year¡¯s time. It would be a new chapter for exploration.

    Numerous mass media, citizens, rich tycoons, scientists and celebrities... all their attentions were focused there. This was an unprecedented coboration and a revolutionary step. Powerful nations were working towards amon goal for the first time.

    In the leaders¡¯ lounge, many leaders were seen resting, discussing, and doing work.

    The President sat alone on the sofa with his leg propped up. He looked at his cell phone and typed furiously.

    A handsome Russian walked in and sat beside the President with a weary face.

    President lifted his head and nced at the Russian before continuing his typing. He said, ¡°Brother Jing, you¡¯re back? Is the press conference over?¡±

    Brother Jing nodded and said, ¡°Yes, it has ended. I hope that everything goes well. Hmm... Let¡¯snd on others soon. This¡¯s bing unbearable. Are you on twitter?¡±

    The President became angry. ¡°Twitter? I was banned because I scolded the person that can¡¯t be named. I¡¯m a President! I was banned!! Can you imagine that?¡±

    Brother Jing nodded agreeably. ¡°You¡¯ve got guts to scold that man.¡±

    ¡°What other choice did I have? That¡¯s billions in loan that I was to be responsible for. We¡¯re going through a budget deficit. Do you know by how much support for me in the polls has fallen? I can¡¯t even speak my mind on Twitter. What¡¯s the use of being a President?¡±

    Agreeing with hisints, other leaders went along and criticized the man¡¯s evil deeds.

    ¡°Oh, I mortgaged my crown. Who knows when he could return the money?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re expecting him to return the money? I only hope he doesn¡¯t borrow more money. Do you know where he spent the money? Inviting the world to yputer games!¡±

    ¡°The developed countries were not spared as he forced us to promote the game in the countryside and let 70 year old grannies y Closers World. That¡¯s preposterous.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s better than what he did to us. He carried our aircraft carrier and approached us for investment in Cat Wondend Street. What could I do? We exined to the press that we had developed the first Helicarrier.

    ¡°S*it, that¡¯s the work of that man? I thought you¡¯ve developed a Helicarrier.¡±

    As the leadersined and cursed the unnamed man while creating hope for the future, an assistant ran into the lounge nervously.

    ¡°Bad... bad news! Take a look at the news.¡±

    The leaders looked puzzledly at the worried assistant who walked towards a counter and pressed on a remote to switch on the television.

    The television showed an urgent news broadcast. All the broadcast stations on Earth were transmitting this shocking news.

    ¡°Ten minutes ago, arge unidentified flying object hovered above the capital...¡±

    ¡°Reporters have contacted the Chinese government but have yet to receive any replies...¡±

    ¡°The sudden appearance of therge flying object caused the citizens to panic. The government advised citizens to stay at home...¡±

    Seeing the super space cruiser that was tens of kilometers long, all the leaders were dumbstruck.

    The President leaped up and shouted, ¡°Ah ha!!¡±

    ¡°I knew it! I knew it!¡± The President shouted excitedly, ¡°This must be thetest Chinese weapon!¡±

    Brother Jing said, ¡°I don¡¯t think the human race can construct such things.¡±

    The assistant said to the President, ¡°ording to NASA¡¯s estimate, with our current technology, even if we pool all our resources, we might not be able to construct such spaceship in 50 years. Moreover, the spaceship came from outer space. NASA kept their surveince records.

    ¡°From outer space?¡± The President gasped in shock.

    Brother Jing said eerily, ¡°Aliens... have arrived.¡±

    ...

    With the news broadcast, the images of the spaceship spread like wildfire and society went crazy.

    Some were afraid. Some were agitated. Some were fearful while others were excited...

    Numerous reporters, agents, government officials, soldiers and apostles swarmed to the capital to obtain the spaceship¡¯s intelligence.

    Uncle Ho lifted his head and saw fighter nes flying by the capital and circling the spaceship from a distance.

    A leader, who was by the side, said, ¡°Have we contacted Zhao Yao? Where is he?¡±

    Uncle Ho shook his head. ¡°We haven¡¯t contacted him yet.¡± He looked worried at the spaceship that cast dark shadows over half of the city.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Zhao Yao to tell the truth... There are aliens? What¡¯s the use of knowing beforehand? With these kind of spaceships and technology, we¡¯re unable to defend ourselves.¡±

    The bottom of the spaceship shot out a light ray on the ground as everyone watched in fear and anxiety. It did not cause any damage and a ck spot descended from the spaceship.

    ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± Uncle Ho took up his binocrs and looked nervously at the light ray¡¯s direction.

    ¡°Seems like a figure?¡±

    ¡°That ray of light¡¯s strange. We can¡¯t see objects clearly in it.¡±

    ¡°But it looks like a human figure.¡±

    ¡°Did an alien descend?¡±

    Uncle Ho said, ¡°Where did hend?¡±

    The adjutant at the side said, ¡°On XX street!¡±

    ¡°Cordon off the street and prevent anyone from entering or leaving. Tell everyone that without my order nobody can open fire!¡±

    The figure descending from the spaceship was not from Uncle Ho¡¯s team. Numerous people witnessed this event and live streamed it to the whole world.

    The tens of billions of people on Earth were in a furor. This was a real alien. Was this the first alien contact in human history?

    Various governments called China and demanded that they sent their representatives to receive the alien friend.

    The apostles from numerous countries were deployed in secret to the capital. They used their superpowers to sneak into the location where the aliennded.

    Uncle Ho stood below the spaceship and looked at the descending light ray and the figure. He was extremely nervous.

    The apostle to his side said, ¡°Officer Ho, why don¡¯t you back up a bit first. This could be dangerous.¡±

    Uncle Ho raised his hand and said, ¡°The higher-ups sent me to negotiate with the alien. How can I leave?¡±

    The apostles from different countries observed the scene discreetly from the surrounding rooftops and windows. With their live streaming, the leaders from almost half the countries in the world were able to witness the developments firsthand.

    Even reporters from news stations used their superpowers to take up strategic locations to shoot the events live.

    Uncle Ho and his men knew about this and decided that at this time, there was no need to have a news ckout.

    He looked at the descending figure and frowned as he said, ¡°Why is the speed of its descent that slow?¡±

    The President watched the screen nervously as he covered his mouth with a solemn face.

    Up in the ne, Brother Jing hugged himself with his hands and watched the descending figure. The assistant behind him sped his hands together and prayed in silence.

    At this moment, some prayed, some were frozen in terror, some waited in anticipation and even more did not know what to do.

    Under the watchful eyes of a few billion people, the figure finallynded on the ground.

    Seeing the back of the figure, Uncle Ho¡¯s eyelid quivered. ¡°Why does he look familiar?¡±

    The figure turned around as the light ray dissipated. It was Zhao Yao in the golden armor.

    Zhao Yao smiled and said, ¡°Surprise!¡±

    Nobody expected Zhao Yao tomandeer the awe-inspiring spaceship that was tens of kilometers long.

    Uncle was dumbfounded as he gaped at Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°I stole the spaceship from the aliens...¡± He pondered s bit before saying, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. They didn¡¯t discover it was me and can¡¯t trace me.¡±

    Uncle Ho was astonished.

    Zhao Yao had stolen a spaceship from the aliens andnded it on Earth.

    The news swept across the world like a typhoon.

    Both themoners and the high level officials were excited like boiling water.

    The President said, ¡°What? The spaceship belonged to that man? It¡¯s a joke!¡±

    Brother Jing closed his eyes. ¡°We¡¯re done for.¡±

    Simrments were made throughout the world.

    Zhao Yao smiled happily when the mission waspleted and he obtained 45 000 experience points.

    ¡°Although I didn¡¯t obtain the maximum amount of experience points I¡¯m satisfied.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the dumbstruck Uncle Ho and said, ¡°I¡¯ll let you y with the spaceship since I¡¯ve subdued the crew. I¡¯ll take the cats but leave the men to you. Farewell.¡±

    He was indifferent. He had handed the spaceship over to the humans to do research. He had more important things to do.

    When he returned to the Extradimensional Belly, he ced the cats from the spaceship in Closers World. Then he took a look at Exploding Scorch and Cmity Marshal. After he was sure it was safe, he swallowed the ck ball into his stomach and his awareness slipped into Closers World.

    He wanted to observe the two cats¡¯ situation.

    On the grass ins, the Long Fur Cats who were resigned to fighting monsters cried out when they saw the arrival of Exploding Scorch and Cmity Marshal.

    ¡°Ah! The Exploding Scorch and Cmity Marshal were captured!¡±

    ¡°Finished! We¡¯re finished! We have to be ves for the rest of our lives!¡±

    Seeing Exploding Scorch and Cmity Marshal working obediently with Matcha¡¯s arrangements, Zhao Yao nodded his head. Closers World was able to subdue them.

    After the Long Fur Tribe had lost Exploding Scorch, Cmity and Virus Marshals, their advantage in the war was greatly reduced.

    Zhao Yao examined the evolution progress in Book. After the inclusion of two Level 70 supercats like Exploding Scorch and Cmity Marshal, Sphynx cat¡¯s evolution progress was greatly increased.

    ¡°At this rate, Sphynx cat will be able to level up within a day.¡±

    Sphynx cat¡¯s was at Level 73. With the Cat Emperor Armor¡¯s +10 bonus, he was at Level 83.

    After upgrading 17 levels, he would be able to match the levels of the Furless Tribe¡¯s White Short Star and the Short Fur Tribe¡¯s Whitehand.

    Zhao Yao decided to stay in Closers World to work on the evolution progress.

    Matcha saw Zhao Yao at a distance. He ran over and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, didn¡¯t I do a good job? I¡¯ll make sure those aliens cats are properly taught!¡±

    ¡°Hmm, not bad.¡± Zhao Yao looked at Matcha and felt that he had nice features.

    Zhao Yao could not help stroking his head as Matcha showed his enjoyment of the stroking.

    Zhao Yao became grim abruptly and exited Closers World.

    Matcha was taken aback. ¡°Ah? Why did he leave in such a hurry?¡± He looked at his own fur. ¡°Is orange fur out of fashion?¡±

    When Zhao Yao returned to the material realm, he was glum.

    ¡°Just now... is that the side effect of the Sphynx cat? Am I...¡±

    He returned to the Cat Wondend quietly and watched the men and women on the streets. His heartbeat elerated.

    ¡°No, the side effect¡¯s too strong. I remember how Matcha¡¯s features appeared handsome...¡±

    Zhao Yao realized the seriousness of the problem. Sphynx cat was his highest ranking superpower. Previously, he could use the alien cat¡¯s superpower to suppress the side effects, but now it was ineffective.

    Feeling his fast heartbeat and his mind shing with images of Matcha, Zhao Yao covered his face. ¡°Who could resist such temptation?¡±

    He quickly logged in Matcha¡¯s ount to Closers World.

    ¡°I have to quickly upgrade another cat and let him surpass Sphynx cat¡¯s level.¡±

    Zhao Yao returned to Closers World and found that Matcha was leveling up rapidly. He heaved out of relief.

    He discovered someone had texted him. After pondering, he decided to ignore it. He would wait for Matcha to surpass Sphynx cat.

    Zhao Yao stayed in Closers World daily, ignoring all messages and avoiding everyone.

    The Cat Revolution Society wanted to see Zhao Yao regarding the capture of the three marshals of the Long Fur Tribe but he declined.

    Zhao Yao was afraid of losing control when he saw other people and cats. Once he lost control, nobody could control him.

    Though Zhao Yao was in a retreat, the war of the three tribes did not stop.

    Instead, the war became more intense because the three marshals were missing and the Long Fur Tribe lost their upper hand.

    The Short Fur Tribe initiated their Source n and createdrge amount of Cat Sage level cats. They used these powerful cats to gain an advantage.

    Next, the Long Fur Tribe mass producedrge quantities of Cmities who were deployed on the battlefield. Though they were not as powerful as the original Cmity, they were about Level 70 inbat power. They not only stopped the Short and Furless Tribes¡¯ attacks, but they also retaliated.

    As the Long Fur Tribe gained the upper hand again, the Furless Tribe¡¯s most powerful supercat, White Short Star, appeared on the battlefield.

    He swallowed the moonbase of the Furless Tribe and appeared on the battlefield with his-sized body. Once he attacked, he destroyed a Chaos Stronghold, killed a field marshal and disintegrated countless space cruisers.

    The Long Fur Tribe were in a disadvantaged position after White Short Star intervened.

    Normal weapons and superpowers were ineffective against the-sized White Short Star who had unparalleled agility and movement.

    Therge numbers of cat-made humans from the Cmity Project were useless against the White Short Star.

    As numerous supercats expected the Long Fur Tribe toe up with another unscrupulous ploy or for the strongest supercat from the Long Fur Tribe to appear, an unexpected thing happened.

    The Long Fur Tribe units retreated inrge numbers, including their 12 upied sectors. The Short and Furless Tribes did not pursue as they were afraid of a trap.

    A small scale probing attack discovered that the Long Fur Tribe had abandoned all 12bat sectors, includingrge upied territories.

    With the lead of the White Short Star, the Short Fur and Furless Tribes¡¯ units probed along the enemy¡¯s retreat route and discovereds devoid of cats.

    There were no supercats on thes, only ordinary humans were left behind. Nobody knew what happened.

    They only knew that the supercats retreated with the cat ves, leaving the normal humans confused.

    The Short Fur and Furless units upied the Long Fur Tribe¡¯ss and tracked the enemy¡¯s retreat but they did not find any Long Fur cat survivors.

    Until they arrived at the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s mother...

    During the war, Zhao Yao stayed in Closers World as he watched Matcha level up bit by bit.

    This morning, Zhao Yao saw that Matcha had reached Level 90 and he was relieved. ¡°Since Matcha reached Level 83, my strange tendency has abated. I guess I¡¯m alright now?¡±

    Zhao Yao received a Wechat message from Matcha.

    ¡°Since I announced that I was in a retreat, I haven¡¯t received any messages for a long time. What could have happened?¡±

    Zhao Yao was shocked by Matcha¡¯s message.

    Zhao Yao looked at the photographs sent by Matcha. Inside the cat cafe, there were lots of orange cats that looked like Matcha.

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°All the orange cats do look alike. One can easily find a bunch of them.¡±

    ¡°How are they identical to me?¡± Matcha said, ¡°I didn¡¯t look for them, they just appeared all of a sudden! Bad news Zhao Yao! Orange cats are appearing all over the world! There are lots of orange cats!¡±

    Zhao Yao frowned. What did he mean by lots of orange cats? He searched on the inte and was surprised.

    ¡°Large numbers of orange cats appeared in the capital. Superpowers were suspected to be used...¡±

    ¡°Huadu¡¯s F297 flight to Jianghai was urgently forced tond due to the sudden emergence of arge number of orange cats...¡±

    ¡°The Pacific Fleet aircraft carrier sank due to arge number of orange cats...¡±

    ¡°Arge number of orange cats was found by a junior high school boy in the bathroom...¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the news and he was piqued. ¡°Is there a supercat that can clone and replicate cats? But the area of distribution is too big. Is the whole world replicating orange cats?¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head and felt both puzzled and surprised. He was unfazed by the supernatural urrences on Earth. He informed Bai Quan and asked him to investigate. Then he continued his retreat.

    ¡°The war of the tribes is getting more intense. I have no time for this. I have to make full use of my time during my Closers World¡¯s retreat.¡±

    Zhao Yao stood up and exited Closers World.

    The side effects of the Sphynx cat¡¯s superpower were no longer effective on him. He was going to train his body using Sphynx cat¡¯s superpower while he stayed in Closers World.

    Three hourster, Zhao Yao wore his Cat Emperor Armor and appeared deep in the Earth¡¯s core.

    The surroundings were made of iron and nickel that were in a molten state. Under the intense pressure, the material had the rigidity of steel and the flexibility of asphalt.

    Even if diamonds were to appear there, they would be squashed like butter.

    They were ten times harder than steel, but they could still be deformed without breaking.

    The intense pressure damaged Zhao Yao¡¯s body continuously but his body regenerated and resisted the super high pressure in order for him to survive.

    With the help of Sphynx cat¡¯s Level 83, Zhao Yao¡¯s constitution improved rapidly.

    ¡°At this rate, the Earth¡¯s core will not be able to help me train in a week¡¯s time.¡±

    Zhao Yao shook his head. ¡°Superpowers are illogical. Strong and weak are only a matter of time in the realm of superpowers.¡±

    Zhao Yao received messages from both people and cats after he was in a retreat for a few days.

    Matcha messaged, ¡°Zhao Yao, bad news. People are turning into orange cats.¡±

    Bai Quan messaged, ¡°Boss, I didn¡¯t find the supercat perpetrator. The superpower¡¯s effective range seems to be throughout the whole world...¡±

    ¡°People turning into orange cats?¡± Zhao Yao was grim and he recalled Olivia who had turned into an orange cat.

    He pondered and asked Bai Quan for the information of those who turned into orange cats. He browsed through the information but could not figure it out.

    Zhao Yao focused his eyes as he seemed to hear sounds from the air.

    ¡°How could it be? I had set up a wall of silence.¡± Hearing the muttering sounds from the air, Zhao Yao opened up Closers World¡¯s control panel.

    ¡°Strange, logically speaking, there shouldn¡¯t be any sounds at all.¡±

    The muttering sounds were getting closer. Zhao Yao listened intently but they were incoherent and he could not figure them out.

    He exited Closers World and returned to the material realm. He discovered he could hear the sounds.

    ¡°Impossible. This is the Earth¡¯s core. How can I hear people¡¯s voice?¡±

    Zhao Yao was grave as he recalled Olivia¡¯s dying scene.

    In the next moment, the muttering voices beside his ears vanished.

    Zhao Yao decided to return to Closers World. He wanted to level up his supercats before he could deal with theing crisis.

    A few days passed. With the increasing number of orange cats, society couldn¡¯t function properly. Zhao Yao investigated the matter personally and the results were the same as Bai Quan¡¯s.

    ¡°This is not rted to the Earth. Could it be due to Olivia?¡±

    Zhao Yao wasposed. He looked at his Book which showed Matcha had reached Level 95. He felt he was shining with radiance even while he walked.

    ¡°Matcha is now Level 105 after the Cat Emperor Armor¡¯s +10 bonus.¡±

    Matcha had two strongest points.

    Firstly, the cooling down period of the Time Distortion¡¯s Revival was now 85 minutes. Zhao Yao could revive every 85 minutes.

    Secondly, with a Level 105 Boiling Point, Zhao Yao¡¯s speed was increased 105 times during Time Freeze.

    During Time Freeze, Zhao Yao had about 1890 seconds or about half an hour of frozen time.

    With Boiling Point, Zhao Yao could elerate physically by 100 times without any side effects.

    Zhao Yao had both the strength of three cats and the four times eleration of Boiling Point, he could kill a person with a single punch.

    Now that Zhao Yao could survive in the deep Earth¡¯s core and with a hundred times¡¯ eleration, he could not estimate the shocking damage he would cause to his enemies.

    Like a bullet elerated a hundred times to be a super electromaic cannon, Matcha could destroy a tank during Time Freeze.

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought, ¡°Perhaps the kic energy was multiplied 10 000 times?¡±

    Zhao Yao had been training his body in the Earth¡¯s core and his constitution increased exponentially.

    Zhao Yao studied the changes in the world and decided to make a trip to others to see if the strange urrences were caused by the Long Fur Tribe.

    When the Cat Revolution Society contacted him, he decided to meet them.

    Nasha could not help saying, ¡°You¡¯ve finally shown yourself. Do you know how chaotic the war has be?¡±

    Nasha told the war details to Zhao Yao and looked at him. ¡°The Short Fur and Furless Tribe surrounded the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s mother but the situation was very weird. It seems like everything was in an... orange evolution.¡±

    Zhao Yao thought he heard wrong. He blinked his eyes and asked, ¡°What¡¯s orange evolution?¡±

    After the armies of the Short Fur Tribe and Long Fur Tribe surrounded the home of the Long Fur Tribe, all the cats felt that victory was in sight. What they did not expect was that everything that had happened on the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s home had far exceeded their imagination.

    The whole was visibly orange at the atmospheric level.

    The earth, mountains, ins and forests... were all covered in orange grass and trees.

    The sea waspletely orange as well, covered in masses of unidentified orange fur.

    An unknown orange substance filled the air. It looked like both grass and fur.

    The cats observing the from the spaceship did not spot any sign of the Long Fur Tribe cats either.

    In response to this situation, they sent out warriors to search the area. However, they received no news back despite sending out batches of warriors.

    What shocked them even more was that the strange urrence on the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s was expanding.

    Orange fur started growing out on the bodies of both human and cat warriors, even on the bodies of the Furless Tribe¡¯s warriors.

    ¡°Our leader is missing too,¡± Nasha continued. ¡°When the Long Fur Tribe was retreating in full force, our leader said that he would go to the home personally to check out the situation there. s, we lost contact with him. Now the whole Cat Revolution Society is in turmoil as everyone is unsettled by our leader¡¯s disappearance.

    If our leader did not leave a few supercats behind, we might not have been able to make it here.¡±

    As she said that, Nasha turned to look at Zhao Yao expectantly. If he could capture three great marshals, there was no doubt about his capabilities. He was the best person to lead and stabilize the Cat Revolution Society now.

    He could be both good and evil and does things in unexpected ways. Who knew, he might just be able to help the Cat Revolution Society.

    ¡°Is that so?¡± Zhao Yao thought. ¡°Looks like the strange urrence on Earth might just have something to do with the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s. Did those silly cats¡¯ research finally backfire on them?¡±

    With such a drastic situation at hand, it was impossible for Zhao Yao to wash his hands of it. He decided to return to the Cat Revolution Society with Nasha.

    ...

    In the main hall of the Cat Revolution Society, more than ten elders were quarreling incessantly.

    ¡°We can¡¯t just sit and watch the Long Fur Tribe fail. We have to think of a way to help them, or else the bnce in the Milky Way will be destroyed.¡±

    ¡°Our leader has gone missing after going to the home. We must find a way to save him.¡±

    ¡°If the Long Fur Tribe is exterminated, will the Short Fur Tribe and Furless Tribe still be able to maintain their alliance? From what I see, after the Long Fur Tribe is wiped out, the Short Fur Tribe and the Furless Tribe will turn against each other. This will greatly reduce the overall strength of the supercats. I don¡¯t see any problem for us in such a situation, so why should we care?¡±

    With the disappearance of their leader, the Cat Revolution Society lost the solemanding voice that dominated the society.

    Every elder seemed to have their own differing opinions.

    Amongst them were the elders Summit and Bai Yueguang, whom Zhao Yao had met before. They too frowned as they expressed their opinions on the situation at hand.

    Just as they were quarreling, a shadow shed before them as Zhao Yao and Nasha arrived.

    All the elders at the scene turned to look at Zhao Yao at once.

    ¡°Who are you?¡± A white-haired elder turned and stared at Zhao Yao closely. He then turned to Nana and said in annoyance, ¡°Nasha? Who is this man? Who allowed you to bring him here?¡±

    Summit stood up and exined, ¡°This is Zhao Yao. He is the great man who defeated the four great marshals, Cmity, Virus, Exploding Scorch, and Robot.¡±

    Upon hearing Summit¡¯s words, all the elders around them gasped in astonishment. There were all kinds of different looks on their faces as they stared at Zhao Yao.

    The white-haired elder said, ¡°Mr. Zhao, you suddenly barged into our Cat Revolution Society. Is there anything you want from us?¡±

    Bai Yueguang said, ¡°The survival of the human race in the Milky Way is at a critical point. Zhao Yao has outstanding capabilities and is a member of the Cat Revolution Society. Why can¡¯t hee in?¡±

    Another bald elder said, ¡°What¡¯s the use of knowing how to fight? Can you defeat White Short Star? The problem we have now isn¡¯t something that can be solved just with great fighting prowesses alone.¡±

    A female elder said, ¡°Then what do you suggest? I will never lead any man to the battle field. What¡¯s the point? To fight for supercats? Do you know how my whole family died?¡±

    ¡°We¡¯re not fighting for cats now. This is a critical juncture that will affect the development of the Milky Way for hundreds and thousands of years hereafter. We can¡¯t just be sitting around and doing nothing...¡±

    Seeing how the elders before him were arguing incessantly, Zhao Yao rolled his eyes. A new mission appeared almost instantly in the Book.

    Mission: Persuasion

    Mission Objective: As potentially the strongest person in the universe, you should use your own unique way to persuade everyone here to listen to you.

    Reward: Use your great power to convince your opponents. The greater and faster the effects of your persuasion, the greater the rewards. The highest reward is 100 000 experience points, the lowest being 10 000 experience points.

    Punishment: None

    Zhao Yao took a look at the mission and felt that the Book gave him a fairly reasonable mission. The first thing he did next was to stamp on the ground.

    A violent, ground-breaking vibration ensued, bringing the whole main hall to the verge of copse. Everyone turned to stare at him.

    The white-haired elder who questioned Zhao Yao previously raged at him as he screamed, ¡°Zhao Yao! What are you doing?!¡±

    ¡°Are you trying to destroy the Elders Hall? How dare you!¡±

    Zhao Yao stared at the enraged faces of the elders and slowly said, ¡°I have no time to listen to mere ants like you argue. From now on, I will make the decisions here.¡±

    The white-haired elder seethed with rage as he shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao! What did you just say?!¡±

    The bald elder chuckled. ¡°Heh heh, do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you defeated four great marshals?¡±

    Bai Yueguang immediately interjected and said, ¡°Zhao Yao, don¡¯t act recklessly!¡±

    The Summit Elder shouted angrily, ¡°Zhao Yao, we know you are very strong and capable. But do you think that we, the Cat Revolution Society, which has survived attacks from all three supercat tribes for so many years, are a ce for a mere person like you to act brazenly?¡±

    Despite all the rage and admonishment hurled at him, Zhao Yao just clutched his chest and stared at his own body in admiration as he slowly said, ¡°And how would mere ants understand the divine powers of a god?¡±

    ¡°In the whole universe, nothing that can kill me exists.¡±

    ¡°This means that I, Zhao Yao... have conquered the whole universe.¡±

    As he said that, an enormous surge of force emanated from his body as the Deflective Field sted outwards instantly.

    All the elders stared at Zhao Yao in astonishment as they felt the enormous force envelope their bodies likes crashing down on them, making them immobilized on the spot.

    However, the Cat Revolution Society was a group that managed to survive the persecution of the three supercat tribes for many years. In that instant when the elders were attacked, the whole main hall cracked apart as masses of weapons sprung up from below and were aimed at Zhao Yao.

    The white-haired elder immediately shouted, ¡°Zhao Yao! Stop whatever you¡¯re doing right now. Are you trying to start a war with the whole Cat Revolution Society? A war against all the humans in the Milky Way? Does this mean you are on the side of the supercats?¡±

    Bai Yueguang also tried to dissuade him. ¡°Zhao Yao, don¡¯t act rashly. Let¡¯s talk things out...¡±

    Zhao Yao just smiled mysteriously before he vanished into thin air, much to the shock of everyone at the scene.

    Just as the elders thought Zhao Yao had left to do something else, they suddenly felt a sudden violent vibration spreading beneath their feet.

    The next moment, the whole main hall lit up as sunlight shone through.

    ¡°How is this possible? What kind of light is this?¡±

    ¡°The Elders Hall is located underground, how can sunlight shine through?¡±

    Everyone rushed out immediately and saw that the base of the Cat Revolution Society had quietly risen to the surface of the ground, exposing the building to the sunlight.

    Not only that but while the base was illuminated by the sunlight, it continued to vibrate and as it floated into the sky.

    ¡°Are you kidding me? The base is floating?¡±

    ¡°No, the whole mountain is rising! What is going on?¡±

    An elder waved his hand and summoned a number of small robots to his side, which shed and projected the scene of the whole base camp before him.

    ¡°The upperyer of rocks under the base camp has been sted apart¡ª No, it wasn¡¯t just sted apart. The whole upper rockyer has been overturned.¡±

    ¡°A strong force is being sted beneath the surface area of the base camp and is lifting all of us up.¡±

    Everyone stared at the image on the screen as they heard his analysis of the situation. Normally, the base camp of the Cat Revolution Society was hidden hundreds of meters underground and upied dozens of square kilometers of area.

    The power needed to lift up the wholeyer of rocks underneath the whole base, including the soil, rocks and caves around it was unimaginable.

    Most importantly, this was done in the blink of an eye. It happened so fast none of the elders knew when it started happening.

    This was as good as ttening a whole mountain and simultaneously raising another.

    Even the Huge Cat God from the Furless Tribe could not even dream of doing such a thing.

    Next, the projected scene changed to show the whole area beneath the base camp as the robot with the camera flew and continued to adjust and extend the projected image.

    In the center deep beneath the base, Zhao Yao was raising the whole base with one hand. The Deflective Field radiated out from his palm in all directions. It was as if an invisible huge palm was lifting the whole base camp up.

    As Zhao Yao lifted the base up, he felt the explosive power surging out from his body as immensely strong powers surged through his every joint and muscle and sted through the Deflective Field.

    Beneath Zhao Yao¡¯s feet, the dimension portal quietly opened up, allowing him to step on the ground inside the Extradimensional Belly to lift up the whole base above him.

    ¡°This feels pretty good.¡± Zhao Yao smiled. Even with his superior physical strength, there was no way he could empty billions of tons of rockyyer instantly.

    However, things were different with the power of Time Freeze. Especially a hundred times faster, every punch and kick of his would have an earth-shattering effect.

    Zhao Yao took a step out and a dimension portal appeared and opened beneath his feet, allowing him to step on the ground in the Extradimensional Belly.

    By doing so, Zhao Yao could step on solid ground permanently when he wished to, anywhere, and at anytime.

    It looked as though Zhao Yao was standing on air as he walked up towards the sky step by step, lifting the base above him skywards as well.

    Everyone was stunned by the scene. His ability to lift the whole base was at the level of the Huge Cat God.

    Furthermore, they could not fathom how Zhao Yao had managed to rip apart the whole upper rockyyer beneath the base in an instant.

    They were even more terrified and uneasy now that Zhao Yao was lifting the base up into the sky.

    Just as everyone was awestruck by Zhao Yao¡¯s performance, sirens red all around them as they saw a huge ck spot appear in the sky and expand as it spread towards the Cat Revolution Society¡¯s base camp at a high speed.

    As the detector was activated, giant cats the size of a space cruiser appeared in the projected image.

    ¡°It¡¯s the Comet Cats!¡±

    ¡°The cats from the Furless Tribe found us.¡±

    ¡°D*mn it. Is it because our actions were too rming?¡±

    It turned out that the Cat Revolution Society¡¯s base was hidden in the territory controlled by the Furless Tribe. It was only because they were usually underground and traveled in and out through dimensions that they were able to conceal their existence.

    However, with Zhao Yao¡¯s big move, the Furless Tribe was sure to notice them.

    Just as the six Comet Cats flew towards them, an even bigger shadow appeared in the sky.

    ¡°That¡¯s... Furless Tribe¡¯s Huge Cat God... Red Huge Star!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s actually right here?¡±

    ¡°Immediately activate the Space Fold portal and evacuate everyone.¡±

    Just as all the elders prepared to mass retreat, Red Huge Star¡¯s body suddenly contorted as he let out an earth-shattering scream.

    Red Huge Star¡¯s body crashed down on the ground as blood sttered all around him, staining the ground around him blood-red.

    Amidst the deafening crashing sound, a huge patch of forest was flipped over as countless cliffs copsed. It was as if a 10.0 magnitude earthquake had hit the surrounding area, sending violent vibrations reverberating on the ground as the surface of the ground rose up and down like rolling waves.

    If the Cat Revolution Society¡¯s base had still been underground, it might have perished in this cmity.

    However, the Cat Revolution Society was perched high above on Zhao Yao¡¯s palm, far from the peril of the earthquake.

    ¡°Speaking of Zhao Yao...¡± The white-haired elder bellowed, ¡°Why are we moving downwards?!¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao disappeared!!!¡± The bald elder pointed to the spot in the image where Zhao Yao had been as he shouted, ¡°Where did he go?!!¡±

    The elders face turned ghastly white as they watched the whole base drop in midair.

    However, Zhao Yao reappeared below the base the next moment, extending both his arms up as the Deflective Field radiated out in all directions.

    The base slowly came to a stop in midair.

    Zhao Yao gave an embarrassed smile as he said to them through his Awareness, ¡°Don¡¯t be scared. I just went to teach those cats a lesson, that¡¯s why I couldn¡¯t keep holding up the base.¡±

    Not far away, Red Huge Star who had crashed to the ground screamed in agony as he propped himself up. Next, he took a great leap and fled through Space Fold.

    The other Comet Cats followed closely behind him and fled. Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes at them as he thought to himself what a pity it was to let them go.

    ¡°It¡¯s too big. It¡¯s impossible to capture such a huge cat and bring it home.¡±

    Zhao Yao stroked his chin as he started to think. ¡°Now the Earth seems a bit small for me to rear cats. Does it mean I¡¯ll have to design a specially for rearing cats?¡±

    In a few moments, Zhao Yao walked through the air back to the elders as he continued propping up the base with the Deflective Field.

    ¡°I will have the final say in the Cat Revolution Society from now on. Anyone still object to this?¡±

    Looking at their hesitant faces, Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes and fixed his gaze on an elder with the lowest level at the scene. It was the Level 55 bald-headed elder.

    ¡°Mr. Baldy, that eager look on your face makes it seem like you have something more to say?¡±

    He activated the Short Fur Tribe¡¯s power of Awareness Distortion and first destroyed the elder¡¯s Awareness Backup before he controlled the elder to shout, ¡°Zhao Yao is highly capable and a great fighter. I have no objections to him being our leader.¡±

    ¡°Bald Head! That¡¯s not what you said just now,¡± The white-haired elder said. ¡°ording to the rules, the leader of the society will always be our leader. There¡¯s no such thing as choosing or changing a leader.¡±

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes again and a female elder said, ¡°Zhao Yao has been focusing his efforts ] on matters concerning the Society and he¡¯s handsome as well. Why are we still relying on the old rules? He could flip all of us by himself. I support Zhao Yao to be our leader.¡±

    The white-haired elder said anxiously, ¡°If Zhao Yao bes our leader now, what will happen to our leader when hees back? Wait... Bald Head, Blue Sea, are you guys being controlled by Zhao Yao? This is the biggest taboo in the Cat Revolution Society!¡±

    Zhao Yao raised his eyebrows. The Bald Head Elder said again, ¡°Don¡¯t spout rubbish. I¡¯m only supporting Zhao Yao as our leader because I think he¡¯s capable.¡±

    Right at that moment, Bai Yueguang and the Summit Elder stood up as well, ¡°Our leader is missing, what we need right now is someone who can direct us. Whether Zhao Yao should really be our leader can be discussed at ater time. Why don¡¯t we just let him be the person-in-charge for now and lead us to tide over the crisis at hand?¡±

    The other elders started discussing among themselves fervently. After all, the skills and capabilities Zhao Yao had just disyed were pretty convincing. Furthermore, four of the most important elders had already agreed to the suggestion.

    ¡°I support Zhao Yao as our leader a well. Zhao Yao is young and capable and has the most men and cats out of all of us here. Who else can we choose if not him?¡±

    ¡°Let me give my opinion on this too. I am not being controlled by Zhao Yao, I just really think that Zhao Yao is loyal and capable enough. Just think of those three cats, Exploding Scorch, Virus and Cmity. If not for Zhao Yao, which one of us would¡¯ve been able to take them down? You? Or you?¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao can defeat 10 cats alone and convince many elders. He¡¯s a rare talent who can both fight and lead, so I support Zhao Yao to be the person-in-charge here.¡±

    ¡°Those who support Zhao Yao as the person-in-charge raise your hands!¡±

    As he watched the elders raise their hands one by one, the white-haired elder could only shake his head in resignation. ¡°Okay, then we¡¯ll let Zhao Yao be the person-in-charge for now. But he must first help us to save our leader!¡±

    Zhao Yao chuckled and turned around to take a look. ¡°Who else has objections?¡±

    ¡°If there are no objections, let¡¯s talk about the membership fees first...¡±

    Missionpleted. Another 40 000*2 experience points earned.

    Zhao Yao smiled with satisfaction and looked at the other mission.

    Mission: United as One

    Mission Objective: Being the new person-in-charge of the Cat Revolution Society, you must use your wisdom to raise the morale and spirits of the whole society in your uing speech.

    Reward: The visibility of the morale boost determines the amount of experience points awarded. The lowest amount is capped at 10 000, the highest being 50 000.

    Punishment: None

    Zhao Yao continued, ¡°About the membership fees...¡±

    ¡°Membership... fees?¡± The white-haired elder asked hesitantly. ¡°But the Cat Revolution Society never collects membership fees.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s why you guys can¡¯t improve and the Society doesn¡¯t prosper,¡± Zhao Yao said as he sighed. ¡°Hmm, I came up with a new structure for the Society. From now on, the ranks in the Cat Revolution Society will be restructured. The lowest rank will be the Assistant, followed by the Supervisor, Manager, Director, Regional Chairman, Crown of Stars... till the highest rank of Senior Committee Member in the Committee for Cosmic Cats, adding up to a total of 18 rank levels.¡±

    The white-haired elder and the rest processed the message Zhao Yao sent to them through their Awareness and gasped. ¡°There are that many rank levels?¡±

    Zhao Yao replied, ¡°This is called a clear division ofbor.¡±

    ¡°How do we raise our own ranks then?¡±

    ¡°About that... hold on for a bit,¡± Zhao Yao opened the dimension portal and dragged out Old Cat. He threw Old Cat before the crowd and said, ¡°Old Cat, tell these people what I have in mind.¡±

    ¡°What?!¡± Old Cat was stunned for a moment. Momentster, he recovered himself after receiving the telepathic message from Zhao Yao. He coughed before staring squarely at the crowd before him as he spoke, ¡°From today onwards, the Cat Revolution Society will be divided into a total of 18 ranks. You guys will be the pioneer batch of members, so you will need to make the first payment for membership fees...¡±

    ¡°After that, as long as you rmend one person to pay the membership fee, you can get a 3%mission, and once you reach 10 referrals, you can upgrade from a Level 1 assistant to a Level 2 Supervisor. Yourmission rate will also increase from 3% to 6%...¡±

    ¡°Once your referrals learn the ropes and start pulling in new members, you guys will be able to earnmission from there. Once they sessfully pull in 10 people each...¡±

    After hearing Old Cat¡¯s exnation, the Bald Head Eldermented excitedly, ¡°So if we reach the rank of Regional Chairman, does that mean we can earn money without slogging our guts out?¡±

    ¡°Bingo. You catch on pretty well,¡± Old Cat said. ¡°As long as you guys can rise to the rank of Manager, you will be able to borrow superpowers from Zhao Yao¡¯s supercats for free.

    If you be the Regional Chairman, you will be eligible to invite Zhao Yao to deal three blows to you.

    If you be a Senior Committee Member of the Cosmic Cats Committee, that¡¯s even better. You will be able to get your own supercat from Zhao Yao...¡±

    Hearing Old Cat¡¯s words, all the elders¡¯ eyes glimmered with hope, as if they gained a new sense of purpose in life.

    ¡°Making Zhao Yao the person-in-charge was the right choice.¡±

    ¡°The Cat Revolution Society will definitely prosper in future.¡±

    Old Cat said, ¡°The Cat Revolution Society will no longer be an empty shell with nothing but a name to it. We will be a practical organization that gives its members their due benefits, an organization that strives for the betterment of mankind. Everything is fair and impartial, based on one¡¯s own merit and hard work!¡±

    Roar! The crowd cheered out loud in excitement.

    Old Cat turned to look at Zhao Yao and asked in a ttering tone, ¡°Zhao Yao, I think the name Cat Revolution Society sounds coarse and menacing, which would make it difficult for us to recruit new members. Why don¡¯t wee up with a new name?¡±

    ¡°A new name?¡± Zhao Yao pinched his chin and thought, ¡°Then let¡¯s call it Cat Owners Society. May all the humans in the world have a cat to own and y with.¡±

    Before everyone could react, Old Cat jumped out and eximed, ¡°What a brilliant name! How auspicious! Cat Owners Society, Cat Owners Society. The name is clear and easily understood by all. Yet when you think about it, you sense a more profound meaning to it and the boundless potential it holds. It sinctly captures the simple goal of realizing a bright future for humans.¡±

    ¡°One name that can unite all men in the universe, how brilliant! What a brilliant name indeed!¡±

    Old Cat shouted, ¡°Never in a hundred years would I have been able toe up with a name like this!¡±

    Everyone was equally amazed, not just because of the name, but also because of what Zhao Yao said.

    ¡°Everyone can have a cat to y with? This is really a great wish to have.¡±

    ¡°I never thought that Zhao Yao would have such high aspirations.¡±

    ¡°I never imagined that I could live to see this day.¡±

    All the elders were in awe and approved of such a magnificent name.

    Bai Yueguang asked, ¡°Zhao Yao, how much will our membership fees be exactly?¡±

    Everyone turned to Zhao Yao. This amount of membership fees to be paid was a crucial issue.

    ¡°100 billion USD of currency on Earth should suffice,¡± Zhao Yao smiled as he said. ¡°Don¡¯t worry everyone. The Earth is just a primitive and backward after all, 100 billion USD can¡¯t even buy a cat there. Having a dinner there alone costs a few hundred millions of USD already.

    I believe that with your capabilities you guys will be able to earn that amount in no time.

    However, it¡¯s not the style of our Cat Owners Society to let all our elders go out and work. So I thought of a convenient way for everyone to work.¡±

    As he said that, Zhao Yao took out a stack of documents and gave it out to everyone. ¡°This is the Assistant Loan that I have specially drawn up for everyone here. As long as you sign this contract, I will be the person paying for all your membership fees. Thereafter, all the money you guys earn will be deducted from this amount. If you want to pay off your loan as soon as possible, you just need to work for me for a short period of time. After all, it¡¯s only a small sum, I wouldn¡¯t possibly make life hard for everyone...¡±

    Seeing the hesitant look on the elders¡¯ faces, Zhao Yao continued urging them and said, ¡°Now is not the time to drag your heels and be undecided over this. Red Huge Star only retreated after being attacked. The cats from the Furless Tribe wille back to find us soon. Everyone should hurry and sign your contracts before we retreat from this ce...¡±

    ¡°But this loan...¡±

    ¡°Do you think I will cheat you guys?¡± Zhao Yao scrunched up his face and said angrily, ¡°I can kill all of you by myself if I want to. Now that you¡¯re borrowing money from me you¡¯re still afraid that I will cheat you of your money?¡± As he said that, the Deflective Field rippled and the whole base camp slid downwards, scaring all the elders till their faces turned white.

    The Bald Head Elder said, ¡°Yeah, if Zhao Yao really wanted to cheat us, he could easily tie us up and force it out of us. Now that he¡¯s willing to lend us money, you guys are stillining? You guys really don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you. I¡¯ll be the first to sign it then.¡±

    With someone in the lead, the remaining elders started to sign their own contracts as well.

    Old Cat got cold shivers down his spine as he watched on. ¡°How is this a loan? They¡¯re outright selling their souls.¡±

    From then on, the Cat Owners Society seeded in revamping its system. Everyone looked forward to the future of the Cat Owners Society, brimming with passion to work hard.

    Zhao Yao received a bunch of loan contracts in return. After thinking about it, he decided to stuff the contracts into his mouth to store them in his body, encasing them using the Deflective Field. In this way, he would not have to worry about miscing them.

    After patting his stomach, Zhao Yao smiled and said, ¡°I won¡¯t have to worry about miscing them now.¡± He nced at the mission in the Book and saw that 45 000 experience points had been credited and were ready to be redeemed.

    After iming the experience points, Zhao Yao led everyone to retreat from the they were on. After all, he had been severely wounded Red Huge Star. The Furless Tribe¡¯s reinforcements could arrive at anytime then.

    Next, Zhao Yao put Old Cat in charge of the restructuring process in the Cat Owners Society. He proceeded to contact some of the internal correspondents from the Cat Owners Society that were based in the Furless Tribe and Short Fur Tribe to understand the situation on the front-line of the battlefield.

 Chapter 1114: The Arrival of the Orange Cat

    <h4>Chapter 1114: The Arrival of the Orange Cat</h4>

    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    ¡°They¡¯re still in a standoff and investigating the area?¡± Zhao Yao read the intel sent by the spies and thought about it slowly. ¡°White Short Star personally erected the Dimension Partition so that he could stop the spread of the orangeization temporarily?¡±

    ¡°Looks like White Short Star is much more capable than I thought he was.¡±

    After thinking about it, Zhao Yao decided not to strike first, but continued to train while observing the situation.

    As long as he continued to train, his capabilities would continue to improve and be stronger. His current capabilities were still not enough to guarantee a decisive victory over White Short Star and the Whitehand Grandmaster. The only thing for sure was that he would not die in their hands.

    ¡°And the mutant cat people on Earth...¡± Zhao Yao thought for a while before calling a few world leaders and asking them to capture all the humans and cats that had signs of mutation and keep watch over them temporarily to prevent any mishaps. He would settle everything else when he returned.

    After making all sorts of arrangement, Zhao Yao could finally go back to train in peace.

    However, given his current state, even if he went deep into the core of the Earth, he would still be unable to achieve the best results from training. He had to find another way to train.

    ¡°In that case, the most convenient ce is only that one...¡±

    Zhao Yao returned to Earth and entered the Awareness Dimension. When he returned to the physical world, blinding rays of light pierced through his retina.

    What appeared before him was boundless, limitless rays of light, mes and explosions ¨C the Sun.

    Zhao Yao, who had arrived on the surface of the Sun, floated deeper into its core. He took off the Cat Emperor Armor, removing his immunity from fire.

    He instantly felt tongues of mes scorching his body. All sorts of radiation, high pressure and shock waves pierced through his body.

    Given the strength of Zhao Yao¡¯s body, he could immediately feel his body being sted apart. Every inch of his body felt like it was repeatedly evaporating and reassembling itself instantaneously.

    ¡°It¡¯sing, it¡¯sing.¡± Zhao Yao felt the waves of pleasure seeping through his body. ¡°It¡¯s reaching the climax!¡±

    Everything that was happening in Zhao Yao¡¯s body suddenly stopped. His eyes looked as if they were spitting out mes.

    ¡°Yeah, it should be here. This is the furthest I can go to achieve the optimum effects from training. If I want to go in deeper, I will have to further strengthen my body first.¡±

    Hence, while leaving his physical body on the Sun, Zhao Yao¡¯s Awareness returned to Closers World, where he resumed his daily routine of isted training. The only difference was that he now had to receive the intel of the three tribes from his spies every day and be prepared to enter the battlefield at any moment.

    Time passed day by day. The Furless Tribe and the Short Fur Tribe remained at a loss of what to do with the abnormality on the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s home.

    After trying all sorts of methods, they not only failed to prevent the orangeization, it resumed and even continued to expand, breaking out of the White Short Star¡¯s Dimension Partition. The orangeization even infected a Huge Cat God, turning it into a huge orange cat which charged into the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s home and disappeared.

    White Short Star seemed unable to wait any longer and had ns to personally venture deep into the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s home.

    However, right at that moment, a huge mass of orange cats burst out from the home and started attacking the Furless Tribe and Short Fur Tribe¡¯s armies.

    These orange cats seemed to be immortal and charged relentlessly towards the armies, devastating much of the armies of the Furless Tribe and Short Fur Tribe.

    White Short Star charged in their direction, but realized that the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s home had extended four limbs and was charging towards him.

    After an earth-shattering collision, the Furless Tribe and Short Fur Tribe both suffered devastating losses and casualties. On the other hand, the orange cat army did not suffer even a single casualty and even converted most of the opposing armies¡¯ supercats into orange cats as they continued their savage attack on the Furless Tribe and Short Fur Tribe.

    At this point, the Furless Tribe and the Short Fur Tribe had no choice but to retreat.

    However, the orange cat¡¯s attacks were even deadlier than they expected.

    Very quickly, the main troops of both tribes, including White Short Star himself, were surrounded and entrapped by the orange cat army on a within the warring region.

    The whole was sealed off by the powers of the orange cats. It was impossible for them to teleport or travel through the Awareness Dimension.

    ...

    On a parched wastnd.

    Countless cat ves and supercats stared hopelessly at the sky where a huge moon was seen. That was their leader, the White Short Star.

    At that moment, White Short Star floated in the outer atmosphere. Countless different-coloured lights shed in the ck vacuum and exploded on his body.

    White Short Star was withstanding all the attacks from the orange cats to protect the cat ves and Furless Tribe cats on the ground.

    ¡°All these damned orange cats.¡±

    The huge moon vibrated as it sent out an enormous wave of gravity, sweeping across and dismembering the countless orange cats that had turned themselves into battleships.

    However, after a few moments, the orange cats reassembled back into their original forms like sticine and continued attacking White Short Star.

    On the ground, White Short Star¡¯s clone, which was around the size of a child, stared at the sky and thought solemnly, ¡°At this rate, even I cannot fend off their attacks forever. These orange cats can¡¯t be killed, and can even infect and reproduce themselves. I must find a way to stop them.¡±

    During this period of time, the Furless Tribe and the Short Fur Tribe tried all sorts of methods to deal with the orange cats. However, they werergely unsessful and even worsened the situation, makingmunication on the impossible.

    ¡°These orange cats are like madmen. They are attacking us relentlessly.¡± Beside White Short Star, a Huge Cat God the size of a hill said, ¡°Damn... Where exactly did theye from?¡±

    However, White Short Star suddenly cocked his head to one side as he asked with a strange look on his face, ¡°Did you hear that sound?¡±

    ¡°What sound?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a sound nearby...¡± White Short Star narrowed his eyes as his ears twitched, as if he was trying hard to hear something. ¡°Sounds like... Mat... Cha? What is Matcha? Who¡¯s the one talking?¡±

    The Huge Cat God beside him was puzzled. ¡°Someone¡¯s talking? Howe I can¡¯t hear anything?¡±

    At that moment, the attack in space slowed down as the orange cats stopped their attacks.

    White Short Star immediately fixed his gaze and turned his attention over there.

    ording to what he felt in his main body, the orange cats seemed to turn into normal cats from the ¡®madmen¡¯ they were and were asking each other curiously about their current situation.

    The White Short Star thought to himself, ¡°What¡¯s going on? What¡¯s happening to these orange cats now?¡±

    The next moment, one of the orange cats shouted, ¡°White Short Star, stop the war now. There¡¯s no need for war between us.¡±

    ¡°And who are you?¡±

    The orange cat replied, ¡°The Grand President of the Long Fur Tribe, Alfred.¡±

    White Short Star was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained hisposure. The whole home of the Long Fur Tribe had turned into a single orange cat. It should be no surprise if their Grand President had also turned into an orange cat.

    He stared at that orange cat as he thought to himself, ¡°This guy turned into an orange cat... How ugly. Being furless is still the best.¡±

    The Grand President stared at White Short Star and said, ¡°30 years ago, we found the corpse of a cat on a dead star...¡±

    ¡°This guy...¡± White Short Star thought to himself, ¡°He just started talking about his own story without caring if I actually want to listen to it.¡±

    ¡°30 years ago, we found the corpse of a cat on a dead star...¡±

    ¡°At first, we thought it was the corpse of a great ancient supercat that died from battle, suicide or even went missing. There were all sorts of reasons for which it could have been left on the star.¡±

    ¡°But after a simple analysis, we discovered a unique point.¡±

    ¡°We were able to replicate the body of this supercat passively and even duplicate its superpower...¡±

    As they researched the cat corpse, the Long Fur Tribe began to value the cat corpse more and more.

    Some strange things started happening to the supercats who were experimenting with the cat corpse.

    First, they had auditory hallucinations. Some of the cats started hearing strange mutters in their sleep in the dead of the night.

    As time passed, the mutters became louder and clearer, such that they could even hear it in broad daylight when they were wide awake.

    After this, they began to develop visual hallucinations. Every night at ten minutes past 12, they would always feel their bodies itching, as if something was trying toe out of their bodies.

    Afterwards, some of them even started to worship the corpse, even calling it a God.

    As time passed, more and more supercats came to worship the corpse, and the research on the corpse grew as well.

    Eventually, a cat-created human like Cmity was produced.

    White Short Star cut off the Grand President quite annoyed and said, ¡°So what now? Did that God of yours awaken?¡± He sneered and continued to say, ¡°He probably just used his superpower to control you guys and turned all of you into orange cats right? I acknowledge the superiority of his superpower, but if he wants to turn me into an orange cat, he has to kill me first.¡±

    The Grand President shook his head as he stared at White Short Star, whose eyes were full of mockery. White Short Star was being just as obnoxious as he was back then.

    ¡°God is not here to control us,¡± The Grand President said, ¡°God is here to save the universe.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± White Short Star stared at the Grand President like he was the biggest idiot in the universe. Heughed so hard even the crater on the surface of the moon that was his body looked as if it was about to copse.

    The Grand President continued in a serious tone, ¡°Yes, to save the universe. Just as we are fighting and killing amongst ourselves and waging wars with each other, a devil with the power to destroy the universe has already been born and is only getting stronger...¡±

    White Short Star still refused to believe his words.

    Right at that moment, a huge shadow eclipsed them. White Short Star looked up at the shadow and immediately unleashed enormous waves of electromaic pulse and gravitational force fields, getting ready for battle.

    In the space between him and the shadow, a huge orange star slowly floated in their direction.

    The sudden appearance of the huge mass affected the gravitational pull, causing the physical matter on the surface of the below to float, break apart and burst into pieces.

    White Short Star¡¯s face was dead serious. ¡°It¡¯s this guy again...¡± He seemed to feel a tingling pain running down his back.

    On the back of White Short Star¡¯s moon-like body, there was a huge canyon that was hundreds of kilometers long.

    That was the scar left on him after the orange cat collided into him and he had yet to recover from it.

    Just as White Short Star thought the was about to crash into him again, a low, deep voice sounded in his mind.

    ¡°White Short Star, child, I have no ill intent. It¡¯s just that when I first awoke, my Awareness unconsciously spread outwards, which caused this mess.¡±

    That sound was loud, generous, and soothing. White Short Star subconsciously developed a sense of trust in it the moment he heard the voice in his mind.

    ¡°I came to this world only for one purpose. That is to prevent the destruction of this world.¡±

    ¡°To prevent that devil from growing further in strength.¡±

    ¡°A devil that can destroy the universe?¡± White Short Star could not help asking, ¡°Is there really such a thing?¡±

    ¡°Of course. His power far exceeds your imagination. His evil is lower than the lowest limits of immorality in the universe. His cruelty and viciousness make countless stars stricken with fear at the mention of him. The disaster he created will affect billions of civilizations in the universe. He is a devil, the cancer of the universe, the bane of wisdom...¡±

    The icy voice rang loud and clear with every word in White Short Star¡¯s mind, sending chills down his spine.

    At that moment, another familiar figure floated over in front of White Short Star.

    ¡°You are... Whitehand?¡± White Short Star was stunned.

    It was indeed the Whitehand Grandmaster, the leader of the Furless Tribe, who appeared before him. What struck him even more was what the Whitehand Grandmaster told him next.

    Whitehand said, ¡°White Short Star, what he said is not false. He let me see a vision of the future. We should trust his words. He also promised to heal all the cats that had turned into orange cats, not just the cats from the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s home. Furthermore, after killing the devil, he will not ask for any resource, or territory...¡±

    ¡°Chey, so you¡¯re on their side now too?¡± White Short Star retorted. ¡°Then tell me, who exactly is that devil and where is he?¡±

    The voice of the orange cat sounded out in the minds of every cat once again.

    ¡°Mat... cha...¡±

    ...

    ¡°Matcha!¡±

    A white caty on the floor and screamed as he stared at Matcha, ¡°Please spare me.¡±

    Bam!

    Matcha smacked the cat¡¯s face and kicked viciously at the white cat¡¯s waist.

    ¡°Damn you, are you kidding me?¡± Matcha said as he continued kicking the cat, ¡°I told you to let me see the answer during the exam yet you purposely covered it. You¡¯re really ballsy huh.¡±

    Bam! Matcha sent the cat flying out with one kick as he screamed, ¡°You better watch out. I¡¯m gonna kill you!¡±

    The white cat was so scared that he dropped fur all over the ce. He said pitifully, ¡°I didn¡¯t cover it on purpose. I didn¡¯t know you wanted to see my answer.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re still talking back!¡± Lightning immediately came out from the side and bit the white cat¡¯s neck. ¡°Don¡¯t you know you¡¯re not supposed to talk back when the ss monitor is talking!¡±

    The white cat was held in Lightning¡¯s mouth as Matcha walked up to him and rained punches on his stomach.

    Matcha then pped the cat¡¯s face lightly as he bragged, ¡°This is a paw the size of a bowl. Do you see it now?¡±

    The Time Freeze started and ended with a loud bang as Matcha left a deep scratch dent on the floor under the effect of the hundred times Time eleration.

    ¡°If you fool me again the next time I will torture you to death!¡±

    ¡°Get lost!¡±

    As they watched the white cat flee like he was about to fly out, Matcha and the supercats beside him, Lightning and Cannon, startedughing raucously.

    Cannon stared at Matcha enviously as he said, ¡°Matcha, you¡¯re so cool.¡±

    Lightning chimed in and said, ¡°How are you so powerful now?¡±

    As Zhao Yao continued to train, Matcha¡¯s level increased correspondingly. His power of Time Freeze became even scarier. Things like breaking a wall were a piece of cake to him now.

    Matcha said in a humble tone, ¡°Actually, I have always been this powerful. Before I was only adjusting my powers, so that I didn¡¯t identally kill a cat.¡±

    While Matcha and a few supercats were chatting on the rooftop, countless figures suddenly appeared in the sky. They were shadows of all sorts of weird shapes and sizes that constantly contorted and changed their shape.

    The figures solidified very quickly and eventually materialized.

    Seeing the countless spaceships appearing in the sky, Matcha¡¯s mouth fell wide open as he eximed, ¡°What the f*ck! What are those things?¡±

    At the same time, massive numbers of alien space cruisers flew towards Earth and surrounded its skies. Whether it was China, the United States, Europe, day or night, North or South Pole, space cruisers filled the skies.

    The humans on Earth all became nervous because of the sudden appearance of the alien spaceships.

    In the Central Superpower Bureau Office.

    Uncle Ho pointed at the alien spaceships on the screen and scolded ragefully, ¡°Didn¡¯t I say this before? The aliens won¡¯t take this lying down! This rascal Zhao Yao snatched their spaceship, now they¡¯reing to get us!!¡±

    ¡°Where¡¯s Zhao Yao? Quick, contact him!¡±

    At the same time, various countries called up the Chinese government as well. After all, many were unhappy with the decision to keep the alien spaceship on Earth and even more so now, when so many other alien spaceships had charged over.

    Many people tried tomunicate with the aliens, but regardless of whether it was supercats or humans in the spaceship, none of them showed any intention tomunicate with the people on Earth.

    With their superpowers and technology far exceeding that on Earth, they were able to search through all the worldwide and local areaworks on Earth and arrange them ording to the kind of intelligence they needed. This was how they found news of Matcha.

    ¡°There are a total of 103 000 supercats called Matcha...¡± The Grand President eximed. ¡°How are there so many supercats called Matcha on this? Wait, no. Many of them all copied the name of a famous cat. Matcha seems to be a cat of the strongest human on this.¡±

    At that moment, the Grand President turned back into his original ck and white long fur look. The orange cats on the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s space cruisers all turned back into their original looks as well.

    He stared at the intelligence received from Earth and remarked curiously, ¡°Humans actually control the lives of cats here? What a strange.¡±

    At the side, the Whitehand Grandmaster thought to himself, ¡°A lot of people here have turned into orange cats as well. How did that guy¡¯s powers radiate all the way here?¡±

    The information that ¡®God¡¯ had given was really little. All they knew was that the ¡®Devil¡¯ was an orange cat called Matcha who resided on a which its indigenous people called Earth.

    The Long Fur Tribe, Furless Tribe, and Short Fur Tribe had joined hands and started to search for the whereabouts of this and this cat.

    Very quickly, the Short Fur Tribe managed to find traces of Earth from the information in the Source n.

    Hence, the Whitehand Grandmaster took the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s space cruiser and arrived on Earth.

    The Grand President stared at the beneath his feet and said, ¡°Mecha unit, dispatch. Bring that cat back immediately.¡±

    With the upper hand in both technology and superpower, the Long Fur Tribe could almost immediately gather all information on every human and supercat on Earth, including their rough location.

    There was no need for any form ofmunication with any of the indigenous people on Earth.

    Hundreds of cat ves d in mechanical armor descended towards Earth, flying at a speed of more than 10 Machs towards Jianghai.

    After their warnings proved to be futile, the troops on Earth also started to stop them.

    But regardless of whether they used missiles,sers or electromaic cannons, all the weapons they used had no effect on these futuristic mechanical armors.

    The mecha soldiers just flew over and ignored the ze of attacks from all those weapons. By the time they reached Jianghai, all the countries that had focused their attention on this part of the world had be increasingly fearful of them.

    ¡°The anti-aircraft missiles arepletely ineffective. They are too fast and even have anti-ballistic missile weapons... The hit rate is not even 1%...¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s no use even if they are hit... Normal explosions and sts will not be able to harm their mechanical armor...¡±

    ¡°The electromaic weapons are ineffective too... Damn... We don¡¯t even know if they¡¯re actually using electricity...¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no response to the message we just sent. They have no intention ofmunicating with us at all...¡±

    The mecha warriors of the Long Fur Tribe flew to Jianghai. Based on the information they found on the human websites, they split themselves into three batches. The first batch flew towards the Cat Wondend, another to the supercat school, and thest batch flew to Cat Ind.

    The apostles in Jianghai naturally reacted as well. However, they only surveyed their movements from afar and did not dare to fight against these mecha warriors who were unfettered by the weapons on Earth.

    One by one, supercats were directly grabbed from therge building on Cat Wondend Street and thrown into a pile on the streets.

    All the passersby around the vicinity were chased out of the area.

    The leading mecha warrior stared at the rows of supercats thrown on the floor and frowned. ¡°Have you checked them all? No sign of that orange cat?¡±

    ¡°That cat shouldn¡¯t be here...¡±

    Before the mecha warrior that replied could finish his sentence, a pair of cat paws had already ripped his mech armor apart and sent him flying outwards.

    ¡°Enemy attack!¡±

    ¡°Be careful, it¡¯s only a Furless cat!¡±

    Sphynx cat floated around like a spirit as he hid in the shadows and the gutter to attack the mecha warriors. He then brought the supercats back to the Cat Ind through the dimension portal.

    On Cat Ind, Zhao Xue and Bai Quan fought alongside each other and used variousbinations of superpowers, on top of the enhancement from Sphynx cat¡¯s abilities, to knock down the mecha warriors one by one.

    At the supercat school, Matcha activated the power of Time Freeze and ushered all the supercats back to Cat Ind through the dimension portal as well.

    In the spaceship, the Grand President stared in astonishment at thetest news received. ¡°Oh? They actually defeated the mecha warrior troops?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s definitely this then. It must be that cat.¡±

    The Grand President scoffed and rejected the requests of his men to enter the battlefield. Instead, he put on his Emperor Mecha armor and flew directly in the direction of Cat Ind.

    The Whitehand Grandmaster watched from the side curiously. ¡°What abilities does that so-called devil actually have?¡±

    Uncle Ho widened his eyes as he watched the projection on the screen. ¡°We actually won? And it was not Zhao Yao who defeated them? Is this how powerful Bai Quan has be?¡±

    Not long after, as they saw a shimmering gold person descending from the spaceship and fly towards Cat Ind, Uncle Ho and the humans that were focused on this area all started to get nervous again.

    The Grand President flew to the sky above the Cat Ind almost immediately, creating a hurricane and causing a storm which turned the sea choppy and turbulent.

    He gently put out his paw, generating an enormous force field which swept across all of Cat Ind.

    Under the sounds of countless explosions and to the horror of countless people, the huge sea split apart as Cat Ind was lifted from where it stood.

    The Grand President stared at the supercats on Cat Ind that were trembling in fear. He used the information he had just gathered about thenguages on Earth from the tranting device inbuilt in the armor and asked in Mandarin, ¡°Who is Matcha?¡±

    Matcha¡¯s body shivered and he almost peed in his pants when he heard that question. ¡°What the heck?! Why would such a terrifyingly powerful monster look for me?¡± He thought to himself, ¡°I have been going to school to learn everyday and taking my sses seriously. I didn¡¯t make any enemies.¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s actually here to find Matcha?¡± Roly Poly jumped up and said in delight, ¡°Then let¡¯s just send Matcha over to him and we¡¯ll be fine.¡±

    When they heard Roly Poly¡¯s words, the supercats all around them all turned and stared at him.

    Roly Poly smiled awkwardly. ¡°I¡¯m just kidding...¡±

    He thought to himself, ¡°I¡¯m not kidding at all. I really want to shoot Matcha out of this Earth.¡±

    Project X said, ¡°He¡¯s really powerful now. Even if I recover my prime, I might not even be able to defeat him.¡±

    Roly Poly retorted, ¡°What¡¯s there to be afraid of? I am stronger now too. I feel like I¡¯m bing stronger every moment now and my stomach is getting hungrier. I ate two pieces of Original Recipe Chicken this morning.¡±

    No one knew of the true thoughts in Roly Poly¡¯s mind. The supercats there were all fervently discussing the crisis at hand.

    Elizabeth said, ¡°Although Matcha is old and ugly, he¡¯s still a cat that¡¯s part of our family. We will definitely not hand him over so easily.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± In a rare move, Diana actually sided with Elizabeth this time. ¡°Matcha may be dumb and orange, but he¡¯s still Zhao Yao¡¯s cat. If Zhao Yaoes back and finds out that his cat was kidnapped and that we didn¡¯t try to stop it, he will definitely be very angry.¡±

    Matcha replied angrily, ¡°Hold up. Forget about the rest, but why is being orange a w even?¡±

    No cat bothered about him. Dust Ball continued, ¡°I contacted Zhao Yao already. He will be back any moment now.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s press on for a while more.¡±

    ¡°We can¡¯t let him take away Dumb-Cha.¡±

    Ever since the Grand President appeared d in armor, Sphynx cat had kept his eyes on him closely. However at that moment he suddenly screamed out, ¡°Watch out! He¡¯sing!¡±

    When the Grand President did not get a reply from them, hundreds and thousands of high-energy rays shot towards the Cat Ind.

    If it were to kill all the thousands or millions of supercats on this, even he would not have dared tomand it at a whim. Such a massacre was too immoral for supercats and he would have been sentenced to the pillory for it.

    But this was only a few hundred supercats on an ind, and they were therades of the target. As such, the Grand President did not feel any emotional burden killing all of them.

    He just sted at the whole ind to kill all the supercats at once.

    At the same time, Sphynx cat flew and ripped through the atmosphere in a sh, as he reached out and grabbed the Grand President¡¯s head.

    ws, paw pads, tail, back... A series of attacks sted through like a storm, turning into countless force fields that radiated outwards, rocking the sea as though a typhoon had swept through Cat Ind.

    ¡°Lame.¡±

    The Grand President, who was the target of the attacks, did not move an inch. He merely stretched out his paw and activated his ability.

    A ball of ck mud-like substance appeared before his paw, which gave Sphynx cat an extreme sense of danger.

    This was the Grand President¡¯s superpower, Destructive Creation.

    The power of Destructive Creation allowed him to create a kind of ck mud from thin air that could devour everything to strengthen himself. The time needed to devour was at 0 seconds.

    This meant that no matter what substance it was, as long as it came into contact with the ck mud, it would be devoured in 0 seconds.

    Furthermore, no matter what kind of gravitational force, electromaic force, strong or weak forces would be able to affect it. Only the Grand President could interfere with its actions.

    This also meant that the ck mud was unstoppable. If the Grand President wished to, it could even speed it up until it reached the speed of light.

    Right as the Grand President cast the Destructive Creation, Sphynx cat retreated almost instantly as if he got a bad scare.

    The Grand President uttered to himself, ¡°He¡¯s pretty smart.¡±

    As he said that, he waved his paw slightly. The ck mud zoomed out at once, devouring the air, sunlight and everything else that was in its path, bing stronger and stronger as it zoomed by.

    Seeing how the huge mass of sand vaporized in the air after the ck mud passed it, Sphynx cat¡¯s tail shot right up.

    ¡°This thing, I must definitely not let it touch me.¡±

    He did not have as many lives as Zhao Yao and naturally did not bet on chances and try to fight against all kinds of abilities. And who would know if his Superpower Resistance could even defend himself against this ck mud.

    However, the speed increase of the ck mud far exceeded Sphynx cat¡¯s prediction. Within a few seconds, Sphynx cat¡¯s movements changed from attacking the mech armor while avoiding the ck mud to avoiding the ck mud at all costs, which was getting harder to avoid even so.

    ¡°This can¡¯t go on. The speed of this thing is getting faster and faster, I almost can¡¯t see it now... There must be something about this ability...¡±

    Sphynx cat¡¯s expression froze for a moment as he was thinking halfway.

    His hands and legs suddenly disappeared without a trace, causing him to fall from midair in a daze.

    The Grand Presidentughed mirthlessly. ¡°Idiot. My Destructive Creation can even swallow light and kill the airflow. It could naturally also be invisible.¡±

    At the same spot where the veteran Sphynx cat stood, four long, ck snakes appeared from invisibility and immediately charged towards Sphynx cat, aiming to devour his body.

    As the four ck snakes encircled and devoured Sphynx cat¡¯s body, Sphynx cat vanished into thin air.

    ¡°Sphynx cat!¡±

    The supercats on the Cat Ind gasped in shock and astonishment as Sphynx cat died before their eyes.

    However, the Grand President frowned slightly as he turned to where Matcha was standing. Matcha threw Sphynx cat¡¯s body on the ground as he stared up at the Grand President in fear.

    ¡°There¡¯s no dimension disruption or change in gravity. My five senses parameters are all fine. The data on my somatosensory system is normal. My anti-Awareness engine is working fine as well...¡±

    The mecha listed out all the data on its physical condition before the Grand President.

    The Grand President remarked, ¡°Oh? It¡¯s not a change in dimension, or an illusion. It¡¯s neither speed nor power of Awareness... Then what ability did he use? He could actually use a method that I was not able to detect to save this Furless cat?¡±

    Upon activating face recognition, the Grand President recognized Matcha¡¯s identity.

    ¡°Devil huh? He certainly has his special ways. Let me purify youpletely on behalf of the gods...¡±

    The next moment, thick mes burst out from the Grand President¡¯s back. His anti-gravity engine sent out invisible waves as he shot straight towards Matcha.

    Roar!

    Zhao Xue and Bai Quan flew to the left and right side of the Grand President respectively. However, the Grand President did not care about them at all. The four ck snakes swept across them, evaporating more than 60% of their physical constitution.

    But in the next instance, the bodies of the two swelled and regenerated themselves.

    They then grabbed the Grand President¡¯s body on both sides.

    This move finally surprised the Grand President as he thought, ¡°Ultra rapid regeneration?¡±

    ¡°Lame.¡±

    The ck snakes of the Destructive Creation recoiled and devoured Zhao Xue and Bai Quan whole as they dissipated from the Grand President¡¯s back.

    As he controlled the ck snakes to attack backwards, he did not stop as he arrived before Matcha. With a point of his finger, the antimatter engine of the mech armor spurted violently, activating spontaneous force fields that had the power to destroy mountains and seas which surged right towards Matcha.

    Just as Matcha was about to wet himself as he watched the transparent waves surge towards him, a stronger, fiercer, more devilish, stifling force field erupted from behind him, colliding ruthlessly against the Grand President¡¯s mech-activated force field.

    Two energy fields pushed against each other and explosions were heard.

    Finally thetter energy field disintegrated the Grand President¡¯s attack.

    The Grand President squinted his eyes and looked at the golden armored man behind Matcha.

    ¡°Zhao Yao!¡± Matcha eximed in shock and pounced forward towards Zhao Yao. He grabbed onto Zhao Yao¡¯s leg tightly.

    Zhao Yao stroked Matcha¡¯s head and asked, ¡°How are you? Are you alright?¡±

    ¡°Wah!!!¡±

    Zhao Yao continued caressing Matcha¡¯s head and his ears quivered as he listened to the distant moanings of Bai Quan and Zhao Xue.

    ¡°Using a drop of blood for revival and leaving a part of your body as a backup? You¡¯re pretty smart.¡±

    He saw Sphynx cat without his four limbs. ¡°Fortunately, it¡¯s only four limbs. With Sphynx cat¡¯s constitution, he would be able to regenerate them with some time.¡±

    After ensuring that his cats and people were safe, he gazed at the Grand President. ¡°Hey, you beat up my cat, my sister, and my worker.¡±

    ¡°Good, you¡¯re good.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll let you know the price for beating them.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s head popped out from Zhao Yao¡¯s leg and he taunted, ¡°You¡¯ll be a ve for the rest of your life!¡±

    The Grand President sneered in his mecha and waved his hand. The World Destroying substance swept towards Zhao Yao.

    In the next instant, Time Froze.

    ...

    Zhao Yao intended to return before Dust Ball and the rest messaged him.

    When he returned to the material realm, he felt the pleasure of being roasted by the sun and he indulged in it.

    Zhao Yao was sent deep into the Sun¡¯s core by the internal explosion and the Ultra Rapid Regeneration was pushed to the limit. His sense of pleasure also peaked and he found it hard to break away from the indulgence.

    It was a thousand and a million times stronger than taking drugs as the pleasure filled his body. He told himself to leave but he was unable to.

    His constitution increased rapidly and his damage reduced. The pleasure diminished with the slowing down of the regeneration. Zhao Yao became sober from the addiction. He quickly put his Cat Emperor Armor, opened the Dimension Portal and returned to the Cat Ind.

    When he returned, he witnessed the scene before him.

    ¡°My current level... let me see. Matcha¡¯s already at Level 107?¡±

    ¡°Hmm, if that¡¯s the case...¡±

    Matcha was at Level 117 after adding the Cat Emperor Armor¡¯s bonus.

    Time Freeze duration was at 2106 seconds.

    Together with 117 times eleration.

    And 73 minutes of cooling down period for Revival.

    Zhao Yao chose Time Freeze to counter the Grand President¡¯s attack.

    Zhao Yao threw Lucifer to Matcha and opened the Dimension Portal. He sent all the cats, Zhao Xue and Bai Quan on Cat Ind to the Extradimensional Belly.

    As he walked out of the portal, he waved to Matcha, who was biting Lucifer. ¡°I¡¯m letting you take charge inside.¡±

    Matcha said excitedly, ¡°Let me handle it! You have to teach that d*mn cat a good lesson!¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the Grand President and walked forward. ¡°Is that Level 105?¡±

    He extended his hand and pinched gently. The Grand President¡¯s mecha joints were torn and the entire mecha was removed.

    After the training in the sun, Zhao Yao¡¯s body improved again and surpassed all supercats. He was now in an incredible stage. The superalloy created by the Long Fur Tribe with thetest technology was as vulnerable as paper.

    Zhao Yao took out the Dragon ying Saber that he had not used for some time. He applied Matcha¡¯s Level 117 power of awareness on it and shed the Grand President¡¯s long fur.

    When time resumed, the Grand President screamed in pain and fell to the floor. He looked at Zhao Yao with dull eyes. ¡°What... what have you done?¡±

    The surrounding World Destroying substance trembled and vanished.

    Zhao Yao smiled and lifted up the Grand President. ¡°From today onwards, you¡¯re my cat. Learn diligently and work hard. Don¡¯t stir up trouble outside. Yes, what¡¯s your name?¡±

    Time Freeze came too abruptly and the Grand President¡¯s failure urred in an instant. He did not have a chance to stop Zhao Yao.

    The Long Fur Tribe¡¯s warriors waited in their spaceship for their victorious President to return but they saw him lie vulnerable in the human¡¯s arms as he was caressed here and there.

    ¡°Ah! The Grand President¡¯s been captured!¡±

    ¡°Save our President immediately!¡±

    The Whitehand Grandmaster looked in shock at the surveince screen and his mind were filled with many thoughts. ¡°What¡¯s that superpower? It¡¯s able to defeat the Grand President in an instant?¡±

    The spaceships that were dispersed throughout Earth emitted light rays. After some distortion, they space-folded to the sky above Cat Ind.

    Countless spaceships appeared and covered Cat Ind and the surrounding sea in shadows.

    Seeing the denseyers of spaceships, Zhao Yao caressed the Grand President in his arms as heughed loudly.

    Mission: Comfort the Earth

    Mission Objective: The Earth is attacked by the alien cats and is in chaos. You have tofort them. Defeat the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s space fleet in the presence of the Earthlings.

    Mission Reward: 100 000 experience points

    Mission Penalty: None.

    ¡°It suits me perfectly. Hmm, everyone¡¯s afraid and fearful and needed myforting.¡± Zhao Yao snapped his fingers and a Dimension Portal opened up behind him.

    ¡°Doll, Dust Ball, help me to coordinate the recording of my battle... set up the beauty filter. Hmm... I¡¯ll let you use three Dimension Portals.¡±

    A Dimension Portal opened up behind Zhao Yao and two portals were controlled by Dust Ball to move around. Doll¡¯s feline robots stood behind the portals and controlled the video camera to record the battle scenes from all angles.

    Doll hacked all the prominent websites and live streamed the Cat Ind battle.

    Before they did all of this, the world was shocked by the disappearance of the space cruisers.

    The armies of various countries discovered that the space cruisers did not leave. They were gathered in the sky above an ind in the Pacific Ocean.

    As they were puzzled by the action of the space cruisers, the live stream started on the websites.

    Uncle Ho said, ¡°S*it, Zhao Yao has knocked over a beehive.¡±

    The President said, ¡°They must have been looking for Zhao Yao. I knew it, I knew it! They came all the way here because Zhao Yao stole their space cruiser!¡±

    Comments and discussions reached new heights. The gigantic space cruiser was too awe-inspiring.

    Compared to the Grand President in the mecha, the area damage of the cruiser was more powerful but itsbat power was not strong.

    For the humans, the numerous space cruisers blocking the sun were more shocking and terrifying than the supercats.

    The Long Fur Tribe was indifferent but was concerned that they were unable tomunicate with Zhao Yao. They released sound waves that transformed into rolling thunder.

    ¡°Zhao Yao! Release the Grand President!¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re surrounded. Release the Grand President!¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ll fire immediately and turn the Earth into an inferno!¡±

    Hearing the aliens¡¯ warning, the people and supercats watching the video were stunned.

    ¡°D*mn! Are these aliens are led by Zhao Yao?!¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s Zhao Yao doing? He kidnapped the aliens¡¯ President!¡±

    ¡°Release their President! What¡¯s Zhao Yao up to?¡±

    ¡°Why do we have to sacrifice ourselves for Zhao Yao¡¯s misdeeds?¡±

    Billions of people were terrified and at a loss after hearing the aliens¡¯ threats...

    In the video, Zhao Yao pondered for a while and he shouted, ¡°Wait!!¡±

    The Long Fur Tribe was puzzled.

    ¡°What did he say?¡±

    ¡°Wait?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s he waiting for?¡±

    The humans and supercats on Earth were also puzzled.

    ¡°What¡¯s he waiting for at this critical time?¡±

    ¡°Release the Grand President!¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s Zhao Yao thinking?¡±

    Zhao Yao turned to look at the Dimension Portal and saw Matcha beating up Lucifer wildly. Zhao Yao¡¯s actions had taken up a few seconds but more time was required for the cooling down period to pse.

    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s time.¡± Zhao Yao looked at the Long Fur Tribe in the sky andughed heartily. ¡°Long Fur Tribe, my next words for you are...¡±

    ¡°Witness my Lightning Fists!¡±

    Time was frozen. The space cruisers disintegrated simultaneously and superalloys, electromaic cannons, particle cannons, star cannons and engines started raining from the sky.

    During Time Freeze, with his super constitution, Zhao Yao disintegrated the star fleet.

    The Long Fur Tribe¡¯s human and supercat warriors plummeted into the sea as they wailed.

    ¡°How could it be?¡±

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s Lightning Fists!¡±

    The people watching the live stream were stunned. They did not expect the powerful alien fleet to be destroyed by Zhao Yao in an instant.

    ¡°Done. Everyone on Earth should be relieved now¡±

    Zhao Yao stood in the pile of falling debris. He took out a cell phone from the Dimension Portal and wanted to see how he wasplimented on the inte. ¡°The Earth¡¯s hero, will I be the idol of everyone? Hmm... don¡¯t I deserve at least half a Nobel prize?¡±

    He essed a live stream website and saw a deluge ofments.

    ¡°Hahahaha, we¡¯ve won!!¡±

    ¡°We¡¯re victorious. Let¡¯s continue ying Closers World!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s golden sacred armor and Lightning Fists! Saint Seiya¡¯s real!¡±

    Initially, there were cheers of victory, however, Zhao Yao became glum when thements took on a different tone.

    ¡°What a lousy victory! Finished, we¡¯re finished. We¡¯ll be under the domineering Zhao Yao.¡±

    ¡°Nobody will be able to stop the tyrant now.¡±

    ¡°That d*mn Closers World will never shut down. There goes my money!¡±

    ¡°Even aliens couldn¡¯t defeat him. The universe¡¯s doomed!!¡±

    The various governments were d of the victory but felt bad about the situation.

    Uncle Ho said, ¡°S*it... Zhao Yao... Since when did he be so powerful?¡±

    The Presidentmented, ¡°The Earth¡¯s doomed...¡±

    Brother Jin said, ¡°If I retire, where should I go?¡±

    ¡°Irregardless, the Earth¡¯s crisis was resolved.¡± Zhao Yao scoffed. He had to capture the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s prisoners, reorganize his supercats and assets and ask about the Nobel Prize.

    A figure shed abruptly. It was Nasha from the Cat Revolution Society. She said in a panic, ¡°Bad news, the Long Fur, Short Fur, and the Furless Tribe have formed an alliance to kill an Earth cat called Matcha!¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Zhao Yao was stunned. He lifted his head to see a gigantic shadow appear in the sky. It was White Short Star.

    The appearance of White Short Star caused the gravitational force of the Earth and moon to change. Various natural disasters ensued.

    ¡°Hehehehe, is this Earth?¡± White Short Star had heard of Matcha¡¯s whereabouts from the Long Fur Tribe and hurried over to take a look. Seeing the, he had a desire to collide with it.

    Even if he did not collide with the Earth, with his massive gravitational force, he was able to inflict much suffering on the.

    Zhao Yao felt the changes in gravity. He knocked out the Grand President and threw him into the Extradimensional Belly. Then he flew up andnded on the surface of White Short Star via awareness travel.

    He created a huge pit on the White Short Star and shouted angrily, ¡°White Short Star, are you looking for death?¡±

    Time froze. With 117 times eleration, Zhao Yao stomped on White Short Star¡¯s body.

    The White Short Star was shocked.

    The ground underneath Zhao Yao¡¯s leg exploded, cracked and undted under the vicious pressure. A thousand kilometers ravine was created and numerous smaller fissures snaked out in all directions.

    The angle and trajectory of White Short Star was twisted to one side.

    White Short Star was dumbstruck and he found it hard to believe his eyes. ¡°The Earthlings have be that strong? The prophecy of the Devil is true?¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Get out of the sr system. Otherwise, I¡¯ll stomp on you until you be space dust.¡±

    White Short Star was furious, but after recalling Zhao Yao¡¯s powerful stomp, he suppressed his anger. After storing his energy for a while, he space-folded to a dark region outside the sr system. He brought Zhao Yao along with him.

    Zhao Yao looked at White Short Star underneath his leg and said, ¡°Tell me honestly, what¡¯s the alliance of the three tribes about? Why are you here?¡±

    After hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s problem, White Short Starughed coldly. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to look at your surroundings?¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the sky and saw many huge furless cats floating in the void. The group included the seven huge cat gods from Red Huge Star and hundreds and thousands ofet cats. All their pupils were slits scanning Zhao Yao coldly. They looked at Zhao Yao like a cat toying with a mouse.

    Zhao Yao looked at them. ¡°Haven¡¯t been beaten enough?¡±

    He stretched his neck and said slowly, ¡°Looks like if I don¡¯t give you guys a good beating, you guys will not be convinced.¡±

    Then, Zhao Yao punched White Short Star hard and in Time Freeze, he punched White Short Star a millions times at 117 times the speed.

    When time started flowing again, there were loud cries and White Short Star¡¯s body disintegrated.

    There were loud crackinging from White Short Star¡¯s body and many thousand meters deep canyons were created. There wererge fragments shooting out from the surface of the, falling into the cosmic void.

    ¡°Ah!!¡±

    The furless cats were all shocked by the yells and disintegration of White Short Star.

    Zhao Yao pointed at them and said, ¡°I will kill anyone that dares toe up to me.¡±

    Instantly, the furless cats that wanted to charge up, stopped in midair and started hesitating.

    Zhao Yao looked at White Short Star, who was under his foot, and said, ¡°Stop pretending to be dead. You are far from death.¡±

    As he spoke, there was a strong gravitational force that acted around White Short Star and it attracted the disintegrated parts back together.

    However, White Short Star no longer dared to belittle Zhao Yao or treat Zhao Yao as enemy.

    ¡°He could disintegrate me in one punch. This guy is the most monstrous of all the monsters.¡± White Short Star yelled, ¡°Hey,e and settle your own issue. Do you intend to keep hiding?¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Zhao Yao was confused. ¡°What is he talking about?¡±

    Then, there was a change in the gravitational field and a star that was a lot times bigger than White Short Star, appeared in front of White Short Star.

    It was apletely orange star. It was the star that the Long Fur Tribe had orangeized.

    ¡°Zhao... Yao... We haven¡¯t met for a long time.¡±

    Zhao Yao listen to the voice from the star and asked, ¡°Who are you? You are the one that urged the three tribes to join hands and kill Matcha?¡±

    The voice answered. ¡°Yes, Matcha has to die.¡±

    Upon seeing that Zhao Yao was about to attack, the orange star said hurriedly. ¡°Wait, listen to me. There is a reason why Matcha has to die.¡±

    White Short Star frowned. ¡®Why does he seemed afraid?¡¯

    Zhao Yao twisted his neck a little and said, ¡°So, you want to kill my cat and there is a reason for it?¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± Orange star said. ¡°Matcha¡¯s power has been constantly improving with your help. Do you know what this means?¡±

    ¡°His power is Time Freeze.¡±

    All the furless cats were astonished when they heard Orange star.

    ¡°There are actually powers that can freeze time?¡±

    ¡°One of the ten forbidden powers, Time Freeze?¡±

    ¡°At first I thought Long Fur Tribe was lying. There is really such a power?¡±

    Orange star said slowly, ¡°Since the Long Fur Tribe¡¯s genes were stolen by Short Fur Tribe, they activated the Source n. The n had extraordinary effects on Earth, the first was that many rare powers recorded on the forbidden list were born and the other was you. As a human, you were awakened.¡±

    Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes and looked at the gigantic star in front of him. ¡°Who is this guy? Why does he know so much?¡±

    Orange star: ¡°When the two incredible urrences meet, something more forbidden will be produced. Like Matcha, a supercat that can constantly improve with the power of Time Freeze.¡±

    Zhao Yao: ¡°What are you trying to say?¡±

    ¡°Matcha¡¯s Time Freeze, the principle behind it is that he can add unique segments into the original timeline. It is like editing a video and adding your own clip.¡± Orange star exined something that Zhao Yao had never been able to understand.

    ¡°In the period of time that he films, he is the only one calling the shots. He can do whatever he wants.¡±

    ¡°However, things like timelines have countless possibilities. Such things have been decided since the Big Bang.¡±

    ¡°Matcha¡¯s power is distorting the countless possibilities that have been decided from the Big Bang.¡±

    ¡°The stronger his powers get, the faster the universe will be destroyed.¡±

    Upon hearing Orange star, the furless cats around him looked enlightened. White Short Star. ¡°So that is why. It makes sense now, powers like Time Freeze should not be allowed to exist in the universe.¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at Orange star and did not reply.

    Orange star: ¡°So? Zhao Yao, do you want to save the universe or do you want Matcha to live and destroy the universe?¡±

    Zhao Yao did not speak, instead he activated Time Freeze. He stepped onto Extradimensional Belly and he walked towards Orange star like he was walking on air.

    ¡°What?¡±

    As Zhao Yao walked, he stared hard at the star andughed. ¡°I knew it, I was wondering why your voice was familiar.¡±

    ¡°You have already learned Time Freeze right?¡±

    Zhao Yao stared at the orange grass that was swaying on the surface of the Orange star. It was Orange star¡¯s hair, it was a part of him.

    Zhao Yao stepped down hard and charged towards Orange star. ¡°You have learnt Time Freeze... Now, you are telling me that it destroys the universe?¡±

    ¡°Do you think I am that easy to fool?¡±

    As Zhao Yao charged, he knocked onto the surface of Orange star.

    After a series of major collisions, Zhao Yao used his fist and started punching until the sky and the ground shook. Every punch was at 117 times the speed and it could kill any orange biomass that was within a few thousand meters. He was charging and punching. He left a pathway that was a few thousand meters wide.

    He went into the Orange star from the surface and he wanted to punch through Orange star.

    ¡°That¡¯s enough! Stop it!¡±

    As Orange star¡¯s voice sounded, all the orange biomass surrounded Zhao Yao and swept towards him.

    All of this wasn¡¯t enough to stop Zhao Yao. He was punching and using his awareness energy to sweep the ce. Soon, he found what he was looking for.

    The mountains shook again and Zhao Yao broke down a wall once more. He finally entered a huge empty space.

    There was a familiar figure floating in the middle with countless orange lights shing.

    Zhao Yao looked at the cat in the center and looked shocked. ¡°You are... Roly Poly? Your fur... no, you are Project X!¡± He knew his cats so well, that just by looking at their backs, even if the fur was dyed another color, he could recognize them instantly.

    The cat that was floating in mid air turned around. It was an orange Roly Poly and there were countless orange shing lights connecting him to the star.

    He looked at Zhao Yao and said, ¡°Project X did not control my awareness. I am Roly Poly. Everything that I do is acted upon my own will.¡±

    ¡°Roly Poly? No.¡± Zhao Yao could feel that this cat was different from the Roly Poly at home. It was simr but different.

    He opened the Dimension Portal and saw that Roly Poly was eating his fried chicken in satisfaction.

    Zhao Yao tugged the corners of his mouth and changed the fried chicken to healthy cat snacks. He turned and looked at the orange Roly Poly and asked, ¡°Who are you?¡±

    Orange Roly Poly did not speak. He would not give away his secret easily.

    In fact, the orange Roly Poly was Roly Poly from the future.

    He had absorbed Milk Tea, Matcha and Latte¡¯s power. He had merged the power of the past, present and the future, then gone to the present moment to start his revenge n.

    ¡°You are not going to say?¡± Zhao Yao moved and grabbed Orange Roly Poly by his head. When they were speaking just now, he realized that Orange Roly Poly was shivering, shedding, peeing and shitting on the floor.

    ¡°I have not done anything. Aren¡¯t you too afraid?¡±

    ¡°Useless fellow.¡± Project X came from within orange Roly Poly. ¡°Watch me!!¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at the orange Roly Poly that was controlled by Project X. The orange Roly Poly was still shivering, Zhao Yao sighed. ¡°I did not even do anything.¡±

    ¡°Ah!¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s words triggered Project X and a horrifying force field exploded out from his body. The force field that had the energy to expel everything away and pressed down on Zhao Yao. Then, it was shattered by a simr force field from Zhao Yao.

    The air was vibrating and it wanted to break Zhao Yao apart. Zhao Yao took its impact and pulled a tuft of hair off orange Roly Poly¡¯s head.

    ¡°Ah!¡±

    After a scream, there were thousands of orange Roly Polys that came out from him. All of them started using their powers to attack Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao clenched his fist and under the pressure of the Deflective Field, the thousands of Orange Roly Poly exploded. Then, he pulled another tuft of fur off orange Roly Poly¡¯s back.

    ¡°Ah!¡± There was another yell and orange Roly Poly was in tears.

    Then, there was another series of attacks but they were ovee by Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s body turned ck and his defense had reached an rming level. Most of the powers could not even break through the defense.

    ¡°Damn it! Watch this!¡±

    The surrounding world was a blur and when orange Roly Poly finally reacted, they had returned to half an hour ago.

    ¡°Humph, I already know Zhao Yao¡¯s weakness. His physical body is too strong. It will be fine if you do not let hime near you, ¡°Project X said. ¡°This time he is bound to lose.¡±

    Roly Poly: ¡°Project X, why not let¡¯s forget it.¡±

    ¡°How can we forget it! Didn¡¯t you return to the past just to be the best cat under Zhao Yao? I guarantee with my dignity that this time, it is bound to seed!¡±

    Half an hourter, the entire Orange star disintegrated and Zhao Yao dragged orange Roly Poly out. ¡°You are really great at escaping aren¡¯t you...¡±

    ¡°Damn it! Zhao Yao don¡¯t think that you won!¡± Project Xughed loudly. ¡°It has just started!¡±

    They went back to half an hour ago. Project X said, ¡°I understand now. There is no use just escaping. We have to fight and run at the same time. Both needs to be concurrent!¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao wait for it!¡±

    ¡°Damn it, I will never concede defeat.¡±

    ¡°Again! I don¡¯t believe this.¡±

    ¡°Jerk, why is he so strong?¡±

    ¡°Why did this happen?¡±

    ¡°No, there is no way to fight.¡±

    ¡°There is no hope...¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s try again...¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m going to be beaten again...¡±

    ...

    When Zhao Yao hit through Orange star once again and came in front of Orange Roly Poly.

    He found orange Roly Poly on the ground crying. ¡°Stop! Don¡¯t hit me! I concede defeat!¡±

    Project X: ¡°Roly Poly! How can you concede defeat? We have the power to return to the past!¡±

    Roly Poly: ¡°Return to the past and get beaten up repeatedly? No!¡±

    Project X: ¡°Let me control the body!¡±

    Roly Poly. ¡°I don¡¯t want to! All you do is to control me to be beaten up!¡±

    Looking at orange Roly Poly that was kneeling on the ground, Zhao Yao scratched his head. Orange Roly Poly trembled when he saw Zhao Yao raise his hands and he started shedding again. ¡°Don¡¯t hit me! I surrendered!¡±

    Zhao Yao tugged the corners of his mouth and said, ¡°Then, speak. Where are you from?¡±

    Orange Roly Poly said truthfully. ¡°We are from the future, the future us...¡±

    Then, all his fur stood up. ¡°Meow!!!!¡±

    After the panicked scream, a hand reached out from the void of space. The hand grabbed Roly Poly by the neck and pulled him into the darkness.

    Roly Poly looked at Zhao Yao and suddenly started shouting. ¡°Stay at home everyday! You must stay at home everyday!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t go out and be some sessful man!¡±

    ¡°Games, movies and anime, they are more entertaining than reality!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a new year! Stay at home ahhhhhh...¡±

    After some of distortion, Roly Poly disappeared into a whirlpool.

    A few secondster, he saw orange Roly Poly¡¯s distorted face. His face looked like it was pressed against the ss and stretched out. He yelled, ¡°Don¡¯t forget to level up Roly Poly!!!!!!¡±

    Orange Roly Poly disappearedpletely in the scream.

    The stars around them started to return to their original state and the orangeization of the universe was returned back to normal.

    Zhao Yao rubbed his chin and frowned. ¡°What is going on. I charged in, did nothing and it¡¯s over.¡±

    ¡°Damn, he just left like that? He didn¡¯t even give anypensation or medical fees.¡±

    ¡°So stingy.¡±

    ¡°Forget it, after I fight I can go back and ask the three tribes for money.¡±Zhao Yao turned around and left. His brain couldn¡¯t help but think of what the orange Roly Poly said.

    He opened the Book and looked at Roly Poly¡¯s status. He added some experience points and leveled Roly Poly up to Lv10. He was adding skills for Roly Poly as he walked.

    After he finally settled the payment, debt and contract, Zhao Yao return to Earth in exhaustion. He left Bai Quan to take care of the rest while he return to his mansion on Cat Ind andy down satisfyingly.

    While he was sleeping, Zhao Yao felt that there was something pushing him.

    ¡°Let me sleep for another minute!¡±

    ¡°Stop sleeping! The bride is about to go crazy!¡±

    Zhao Yao opened his eyes and sighed. ¡°Aye... what is interesting about getting married. I don¡¯t want to go.¡±

    Zhao Xue yelled, ¡°One day, you are going to die on the bed.¡±

    Meow! Dust Ball jumped up and was rubbing against Zhao Yao.

    Zhao Yao touched her head andughed. ¡°So obedient.¡±

    Zhao Xue said, ¡°Stop stroking the cat. Hurry up and change!¡±

    ¡°It is so cold today. Why not forget it?¡± Zhao Yao thought about it and shrank back into his nket.

    ¡°It has been half a year since thest Earth war.¡±

    Zhao Xue walked out of Zhao Yao¡¯s room and looked at her phone. ¡°The Earth now feels the same asst time.¡±

    Thinking of this, her phone rang and Zhao Xue looked at her Wechat. ¡°President, don¡¯t look for me. I have no say in this, you have to look for my brother. He was the one that asked for your Weibo ount to be blocked.¡±

    ¡°I really cannot help you.¡±

    ¡°Really. They wouldn¡¯t take my opinion into ount.¡±

    ¡°I have a wedding to attend. I can¡¯t speak anymore.¡±

    Zhao Xue shook her head and hung up. She looked at the cats that were ying outside and sighed. ¡°It is like any other ordinary day in the past.¡±

    ¡°Oh ya, why isn¡¯t Zhao Yao ready yet?¡±

    Zhao Xue went to Zhao Yao¡¯s room again and saw a huge lump under the nket.

    ¡°Zhao Yao!¡± Zhao Xue ran up angrily. She wanted to flip open the nkets but she realized that she couldn¡¯t move it. Her strength left a dent in the floor, however, she still could not move the nket.

    Zhao Yao¡¯sughter sounded. ¡°Idiot, it looks like an ordinary nket but it is actually my cat emperor armor after transformation. It is disguised as a nket.

    Even if the Earth explodes, you won¡¯t be able to blow me out.¡±

    ¡°Do you want to die?!¡± Zhao Xue was furious. ¡°Hurry and get up! Don¡¯t be like a kid! The bride is going to be furious!¡±

    Zhao Yao voice sounded from inside the nkets. ¡°Heh heh, childish.¡±

    Zhao Xue: ¡°Who is being childish here!!!!¡±

    Zhao Yao: ¡°Give up, it¡¯s either the wedding gets postponed or I won¡¯t be present.¡±

    Zhao Xue clenched her teeth. ¡°This fellow!¡± She mmed the door and stomped out.

    ¡°If I can¡¯t do it the hard way then I have to try and see if someone else can make him get up.¡± Zhao Xue was thinking about it and then she saw Latte. Latte buried his head into a can and started licking it.

    ¡°Latte, can you persuade Zhao Yao toe out from his nket.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Latte looked up, the meat dropped out from his mouth andnded on his bow tie.

    ¡°Look, you have to be careful. We have to attend a weddingter. Let me change a bow tie for you.¡± Zhao Xue was changing it and said, ¡°Okay. Go and wake Zhao Yao up. He dotes on you. He will listen.¡±

    Latte was pushed into Zhao Yao¡¯s room. However, Latte jerked and he got into a daze. ¡°No. Terrible things will happen. I will be thrown into a hot ce and tortured.¡±

    ¡°What? You cannot do it too?¡± Zhao Xue thought about it and captured Lightning, who was walking past her. ¡°What about him?¡±

    Latte: ¡°He will be thrown out.¡±

    Zhao Xue: ¡°What about Milk Tea?¡±

    Latte narrowed his eyes and seemed to be looking at something. ¡°You won¡¯t find him.¡±

    Upon seeing that Zhao Xue was about to continue, Latte said quickly, ¡°I think Dad will be able to do it. Ask Dad to convince Zhao Yao, he will seed!¡±

    ¡°Oh ya, Zhao Yao seems to like Matcha a lot. I will ask Matcha to try.¡±

    Latte heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Zhao Xue disappear. ¡°Phew, she is finally gone.¡± He hugged the canned food and carried on to lick it happily.

    Meanwhile, Zhao Xue rushed into the center of Cat Ind and was looking for Matcha.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t he here normally? Where did he go?¡±

    Zhao Xue nced around and walked towards the cat bed. She saw Gaia and Rice Cake ying Closers World.

    ¡°Why are you guys still gaming?!¡± Zhao Xue unplugged the socket angrily ¡°Where are the clothes I bought for you guys? Change into them now!¡±

    Gaia: ¡°Chey, why doesn¡¯t he hold an online wedding.¡±

    Rice Cake: ¡°Exactly. I want to participate in an online wedding. I don¡¯t want it to be three dimensional!¡±

    Zhao Xue pped their heads and yelled, ¡°If you guys don¡¯t go to the wedding, I will delete both your ounts. Go and change.¡±

    ¡°Ah!!!¡± Rice Cake was angry. ¡°Who dares to delete my ount!¡±

    The cat ind started to vibrate and Zhao Xue took her phone out and dialed. ¡°Hello? Doll? There is an ID in Closers World, help me deactivate it for a year...¡±

    Rice Cake fell to the ground, looked at Zhao Xue and said, ¡°I was wrong.¡±

    ¡°Be good, go and change.¡±

    The two cats left and started chatting privately. ¡°Zhao Xue is acting more and more like Zhao Yao.¡±

    ¡°Aye, a house with two Zhao Yaos. Our days are getting worse.¡±

    Looking at the cats who were upset, Zhao Xue asked, ¡°Have you guys seen Matcha?¡±

    Rice Cake turned back and answered. ¡°Matcha? I think he went out. I heard he was going to fight with the second cats.¡±

    ¡°What? Wasn¡¯t he told that he was supposed to attend the wedding today? He is still going to fight? Where are they going to fight?¡±

    ...

    In the forest of the first cats, the two groups of supercats had distinctbat powers.

    Cannon pointed at the leader, a silver cat, and yelled. ¡°Lad! Where are you from? How dare youe here to collect protection fees? Don¡¯t you know that this area is under Brother Matcha?¡±

    The silver cat was in disdain. ¡°Humph, a five dor orange cat. I am not afraid of you even if you guys have Zhao Yao to back you up. Let me tell you, my brain doesn¡¯t work well and I have rabies. I bite whoever I can I reach if you fight with me!¡±

    ¡°Brain isn¡¯t working well? It is not like anyone here¡¯s brain works well.¡± Matcha patted his own head and yelled. ¡°Do you know how many alien cats I killed in the Earth war? The few of you dare to be so arrogant in front of me?¡±

    The silver cat: ¡°Heh heh, I give you onest chance to break up with Elizabeth. Or else I will tell you with my actions that only the strong arepatible with beautiful cats.¡±

    ¡°Boy, you are arrogant!¡±

    ¡°Kill him!¡±

    ¡°Pluck off all his fur!¡±

    The silver cat sneered when he saw the other side get restless. ¡°Arrogant? First cats listen up, you guys are rubbish and we the second cats are arrogant. Don¡¯t mess with us. We will beat you up like we are ying with toys. We are the strongest here today. If you want to fight, we will fight. We have thousands of brothers in the second cats! This is our time!¡±

    ¡°Ssh them with water!¡±

    ¡°Bite off all their fur!¡±

    ¡°Remember all are not allowed to use powers!¡±

    Matcha yelled, brought Cannon, Old Cat, Airne, Sausage and other supercats to charge and fight with the enemy.

    However, the moment they were met with enemy, Matcha shed and disappeared. He appeared at the back row and was looking at the chaotic front row. ¡°Only idiots wouldn¡¯t use their powers.¡±

    ¡°Matcha!¡±

    Matcha shuddered, turned his head and saw Zhao Xue behind him.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t I ask you to quickly get changed, get your fur done and get ready to attend the wedding?¡± Zhao Xue rubbed Matcha¡¯s fur and said angrily. ¡°Why are you still covered in orange fur? Didn¡¯t I dye you white?¡±

    ¡°Ah... I don¡¯t know, after using Time Freeze for a few times, it grew back.¡± Matcha was troubled. ¡°I don¡¯t want it either.¡±

    ¡°Stop talking, quickly get changed and wake Zhao Yao up to attend the wedding.¡± While speaking, she frowned upon the group of cats fighting. ¡°Why is the fight so intense?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, everything is under control. No cat will die.¡±

    Zhao Xue said, ¡°Stop bullshitting, look at Cannon who is about to be bald from the bites. Find a way to get them to stop.¡±

    ¡°Hehe, watch me.¡± Matcha fished out a phone and screamed loudly, ¡°Zhao Yao is here!¡±

    The battleground instantly halted, Zhao Yao¡¯s voice yed from the phone, the supercats scattered while screaming.

    ¡°The old rogue is here!¡±

    ¡°Quickly flee! Someone is about to kill cats!¡±

    The first cats did not scatter and they started chasing the second cats as that was the secret code they agreed on with Matcha.

    Cannon, Meat Bun and Sausage brought over the silver cat. They held him down and asked, ¡°Matcha, what are we going to do with him?¡±

    Matcha replied, ¡°Tie him in front of the school gate with stic tape!¡±

    Next, Matcha was carried Zhao Xue. They crossed the dimension portal and walked towards the mansion on Cat Ind.

    ¡°Matcha, quickly find a way to wake Zhao Yao up.¡±

    While the human and cat walked towards Zhao Yao¡¯s room, Roly Poly¡¯s voice sounded as he appeared in front of Matcha.

    ¡°Matcha, the enemy written in my destiny.¡± Roly Poly covered his face with one paw and the other paw was pointed at Matcha. He twisted his body around and said, ¡°I am here today to defeat you¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°Did you be stupid, Roly Poly.¡±

    Roly Polyughed coldly. ¡°Matcha, arrogance is the reason for your failure. Ever since I signed the contract with Zhao Yao, my superpower has been improving every second. At this moment, I have long surpassed you!¡±

    While speaking, Roly Poly¡¯s body suddenly disappeared and there were only echoes sounding along the corridor.

    ¡°Heh heh, Matcha, be afraid. Feel despair then tremble under my mighty power!¡±

    Pom!

    Matcha was pped in the face and he knelt on the floor. Then, he was beaten by an invisible force. Zhao Xue tried to stop it but she could not get a hold of anything. She screamed, ¡°Enough Roly Poly, stop fooling around. Let Matcha go over.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m fooling around?¡± Roly Poly said angrily. ¡°I am fighting Matcha in a duel!¡±

    ¡°Wu wu wu wu~~~¡± Matcha cried while he ran into Zhao Yao¡¯s room. ¡°Zhao Yao! Roly Poly is bullying me again! I am beaten so badly that I am about to have a miscarriage!¡±

    Roly Poly quickly chased into the room to rebut it but was shocked to see the state Matcha was in. Matcha was covered in injuries, there was fur all over the floor, even his tail seemed bent and broken.

    ¡°What? I did not beat him up that harshly!¡± Roly Poly was angered and said, ¡°Ha! It must be that you activated Time Freeze and beat yourself up!¡±

    ¡°Wu wu wu wu wu! Zhao Yao! You must uphold justice! I was finally pregnant with a child then, Roly Poly took it away.¡±

    Roly Poly said, ¡°You are a male cat! How can you be pregnant with a child!¡±

    Matcha¡¯s eyes were like a pair of dead fish eyes as he stared and pped his belly. ¡°I spent five to six years to grow my belly perfectly round. It was my child but then you ttened it.¡±

    Whilst the two fought non-stop, the nket on the bed moved.

    ¡°D*mn it. Why is it so noisy?¡±

    The next moment, the two cats and Zhao Xue looked at the corner of the nket that was lifted up and saw an area of extreme darkness appear in front of them. Then, a strong suction from the bottom of the nket sucked the two cats into it.

    ¡°Ah!¡± Zhao Xue eximed, ¡°Brother¡¯s nket has a ck hole in it?!!!¡±

    ...

    Darkness,plete darkness.

    Emptiness,plete emptiness.

    The sky and ground were nowhere in sight.

    This is what Matcha and Roly Poly experienced after getting sucked into the nket.

    They hugged together tightly, Matcha said shivering. ¡°Is it Zhao Yao? Is Zhao Yao here?¡±

    Roly Poly sniffed, suddenly he saw something that was shing faintly in the distance.

    Roly Poly screamed, ¡°Matcha look!¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°Let¡¯s go over there and check it out!¡±

    The two cats immediately started to swim in the void of space, towards the faint glow far away. They knocked into all sorts of things along the way but were unable to see what it was due to the darkness.

    Matcha said, ¡°Aye? I seemed to have knocked into potato chips? Woah, they are cheese vored. They taste really good!¡±

    Roly Poly said, ¡°Really? There¡¯s food? I knocked into something too! It is even wrapped in so manyyers, must be something good! Erm, why is there a stinky smell?¡±

    A cough sounded from a distance. The two cats felt their bodies tighten and flew at high speed towards the faint glow.

    In the blink of an eye, Zhao Yao could be seen with half his body naked, floating in mid air. He was holding onto a remote controller with a screen in front of him to game.

    Matcha spoke to himself. ¡°So he didn¡¯t want toe out of the nket just to game?¡±

    ¡°Indeed Zhao Yao¡¯s style.¡± Roly Poly said, ¡°Zhao Yao, let¡¯s go out and game. Don¡¯t keep staying inside the nket, it is bad for your body.¡±

    ¡°Aye...¡± Zhao Yao sighed and said, ¡°I¡¯m toozy to wear clothes.¡±

    ¡°Damn.¡± Matcha scolded in this heart. ¡°You are toozy!¡±

    Roly Polyughed awkwardly and said, ¡°Why not let us out? We will tell Zhao Xue not to disturb you.¡±

    A remote control was thrown in front of them.

    Zhao Yao stared at them and said, ¡°You can go out after winning this game. This is the rule of the nket dimension.¡±

    ...

    Outside of the nket.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s voice traveled out of the nket. ¡°This is the new characteristic of my cat emperor armor. Aye... since you insist on carrying out the wedding, then invited them all over here. Carry out the wedding in my nket.¡±

    Zhao Xue¡¯s face grew red.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it is spacious here, a few thousand more people in here will not be a problem.¡±

    ¡°That is not the issue!¡± Zhao Xue yelled in anger. ¡°Who wants to have a wedding under your nket! The bride will cry!¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Then there is no solution. I am not feeling well today. I am unable to move.¡±

    Zhao Xue gritted her teeth. Shortly, Ares walked in with Zhao Xue.

    Zhao Xue said, ¡°Ares, carry this bed to the wedding venue.¡±

    Ares replied, ¡°What?¡±

    Zhao Xue said, ¡°Just carry it as you are told.¡±

    There was no sounding from the nket, hence Ares scratched his head, released a deflective field and lifted the bed up easily. He pulled it into the dimension portal and used the extradimensional belly to walk to wedding venue.

    The wedding was already in progress. All the guests were looking at the screen at the front, no one noticed that a bed was carried in from the back door.

    The projected screen yed the well wishes from the guests who were unable to be present.

    ...

    Groups of furless cats that worked out were gathered in a room.

    Sphynx cat squeezed a cat¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Not bad.¡±

    ¡°Oh, your erector spinae muscle is strong.¡±

    ¡°Little Red, your abdominal muscles are improving.¡±

    ¡°Little Lan, your pectoralis major are looking better.¡±

    ¡°Little Ming, don¡¯t forget to train the deltoid.¡±

    A sound came from outside of the picture. ¡°Sphynx cat, it has begun already.¡±

    ¡°Oh! Already starting?¡± Sphynx cat faced the camera, smiled and said, ¡°Fish Ball, Li Li, I am really happy to hear the news of your marriage, you guys are the first pair of supercats on earth to register for marriage.¡±

    Suddenly, the white cat at the side was grabbed. Sphynx cat looked at the white cat and said, ¡°Guys, look at who it is? It¡¯s White Short Star, after he was disassembled by Zhao Yao, he began to use this body to work out. He has been taking great care of me ever since I came to the Furless Tribe.

    Don¡¯t worry, I am doing well with the brothers in the Furless tribe. Remember to be blissful in your marriage too.¡±

    White Short Star said with a gloomy face, ¡°Happy Wedding.¡±

    ...

    The scene changed into a factory overwhelmed with heat.

    Xiao Ming and ck Panther waved at the camera and said, ¡°Fish Ball, Li Li, congrattions on your wedding.¡±

    Xiao Ming said, ¡°Everyone look, this is the resource star of the Delin Star Cluster, a virginnd yet to be developed, with the best environment for investment in the universe...¡±

    ...

    With a beep, Xiao Ming¡¯s part was cut out and the scene changed to show Diana¡¯s face.

    She was concerned about her body and her fur was changing between short and long.

    The voice out of the pictured reminded. ¡°Diana, it has began.¡±

    ¡°What? It has started already? I¡¯m not done with my fur yet?¡± Diana said anxiously. ¡°Ah, Fish... Fish Ball, Li Li, I wish that your love willst forever. I have a shift in Closers World today, so I won¡¯t being.¡±

    While speaking, she rxed and then went closer and said softly, ¡°Remember to keep a close watch on Fish Ball, it would be best to keep him in the house 24/7 and not let him out. To be honest, whenever I go shopping now I can meet 10 cats that he...¡±

    The VCR on the stage was still ying, Zhao Xue said to the nket beside her. ¡°Brother, if you don¡¯te out, I will carry you and the entire bed up on stageter.¡±

    From inside the nket: ¡°...¡±

    Zhao Xue looked around and said to Wheatley, who was passing by, ¡°Wheatley!¡±

    Wheatley was carrying lots of things with her as she came over and asked happily, ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Zhao Xue?¡±

    Wheatley came to earth recently and became good friends with Zhao Xue after shopping together. The bags were filled with products from the trip, sanitary pads of all brands.

    Zhao Xue said, ¡°Can you do me a favor?¡±

    ¡°What favor?¡±

    ¡°Ask Zhao Yao toe out.¡± She tried to flip open the corner of the nket and when she seeded, she stuffed Wheatley in. ¡°You must chase Zhao Yao out!¡±

    Looking at the silent nket, Zhao Xue was thinking. ¡°I have stuffed both cats and women in for you. If you still don¡¯te out then it is too much.¡±

    After a while, seeing that there is still no reaction from the nket. Zhao Xue wanted to stuff more cats in. Then, Zhao Yao¡¯s voice sounded.

    ¡°Okay, okay. Stuff Gaia in for me. I will be out in a while.¡±

    ¡°Gaia?¡± Zhao Xue did not understand Zhao Yao¡¯s intentions but she still found Gaia and caught him. She threw him into the nket while Gaia was screaming.

    A dozen of minutester, the nket opened and Zhao Yao, Gaia, Matcha, Roly Poly and Wheatley were all spat out.

    Zhao Yao looked at the cats and said privately, ¡°Remember, no one is to say a word about what happened in the nket.¡±

    Wheatley was blushing as she said, ¡°Ha ha, Zhao Yao, I never expected your nket to be so fun.¡±

    Zhao Xue looked at them suspiciously. ¡°What is wrong with you guys?¡±

    ¡°Nothing, nothing.¡± Zhao Yao said, ¡°How is it? Is it my turn to go up?¡±

    ¡°Soon, hurry change your clothes.¡±

    Zhao Yao waved his arm and the nket flew over. The nket attached itself onto Zhao Yao and transformed into a long ck robe that was normally worn by a priest.

    A few minutester, the MC, Elizabeth shouted, ¡°Now, let¡¯s wee the Marriage officiant, Zhao Yao on stage.¡±

    That moment, all the guests burst into a round of apuse.

    Zhao Yao waved to everyone and walked up onto stage happily.

    He took out a random book, ¡°The Biography of Zhao Yao¡± and looked at Li Li and Fish Ball, who were in a gown and suit. ¡°Congrattions to the two of you. On this very fateful day, looking at all the guests sitting here, as the Marriage officiant, I am very proud and honored.¡±

    Fish Ball was looking at Zhao Yao pitifully. He kept chatting telepathically. ¡°Save me! Save me! Save me! Can you see the strong desire for survival in my eyes?¡±

    Zhao Yao: ¡°Foolish kid. Who asked you to be married this young? Look at me, I have no such troubles.¡±

    Fish Ball: ¡°Save me Zhao Yao! Help me stop this wedding!¡±

    Zhao Yao: ¡°It¡¯s toote. But, don¡¯t worry. Next time I am stroking a female cat, I will take a video for you and send you my thoughts about it.¡±

    Under the stage, Xiao Yu was pinching Noodle¡¯s tail as she eximed. ¡°I never expected the first to be married in our family would be Fish Ball. I always thought he was the most unreliable one. Who expected that he would be getting married now? Time really flies.¡±

    Noodle: ¡°Fish Ball is actually getting married? Aye, what am I going to do? There is only one superdog on Earth, do I have to remain single for life...¡±

    Matcha wasughing happily. ¡°Fish Ball is actually getting married. Then aren¡¯t I the most attractive single cat left in Jianghai?¡±

    Roly Poly: ¡°Humph, this time Matcha managed to escape. The next time, I will not let him go. Look at his solemn face. He must be thinking of a strategy to deal with me. Looks like this battle made him realize how strong I am.¡±

    Project X: ¡°Are you sure that¡¯s true?¡±

    On the stage, Zhao Yao: ¡°... Li Li, Fish Ball likes to fool around. You have to be more understanding towards that. Fish Ball, Li Li is a bit violent but that is because she loves you. If you let her down, I will neuter you. Come, let us wish this couple evesting love and bliss...¡±

    When everyone was celebrating, the door was thrown open.

    Milk Tea walked in looking anxious. ¡°Master Zhao, bad news!¡±

    Zhao Yao looked at him. ¡°What is it?¡±

    Milk Tea yelled.¡±The Super Race that created supercats and humans are about to be awakened!!¡±

    Zhao Yaoughed and the ck robe turned into a golden armor. ¡°There is a mission again. Get ready to work!!¡¯

    ¡°Meow!!¡±

    ¡°Greetings, do you have anyments regarding the game?¡±

    ¡°I feel that the skill design¡¯s illogical. For example, Lu Ban 7¡¯s bullets, why are they ineffective when they hit other people?¡±

    ¡°Er... you¡¯re saying...¡±

    ¡°Once targets are hit by bullets shouldn¡¯t they have reduced speed? Wouldn¡¯t they fall to the ground and bleed?¡±

    ¡°As Lu Ban 7 is a robot, even if he is shed by weapons, it¡¯s perfectly logical if he doesn¡¯t die.¡±

    ¡°As a robot, he can repair himself. Isn¡¯t it reasonable for him to heal himself?¡±

    ¡°This...¡±

    ¡°These are my opinions. I hope that you¡¯ll consider them carefully. If the game bes more logical, I¡¯ll help promote the new game version.

    Matcha was on the sofa typing hisst sentence. He retracted his paw and licked the meat pad as he thought, ¡°I¡¯m using Zhao Yao¡¯s Wechat ount to give suggestions. Hope that they¡¯ll consider them seriously. Mobile Legend¡¯s too out of bnce. It¡¯s impossible to y without a proper revision.¡±

    Latte looked in surprise at Matcha as he said, ¡°Dad, you¡¯re able to make them revise Mobile Legends?¡±

    ¡°Revising Mobile Legends?¡± Matcha pped his cell phone as he said, ¡°This is Zhao Yao¡¯s Wechat ount. If I type with this paw, I¡¯ll be able to change the world in an instant.

    ¡°Ah!!!!!!¡± Latte looked astonished at Matcha as his orange fur stood on end.

    Matchaughed arrogantly as he stroked Latte¡¯s head and said, ¡°Do you realize how powerful your dad is?¡±

    On the other end of the sofa, Lightning tossed around and gazed at Matcha and Latte as he thought, ¡°That fellow¡¯s sweet-talking his son again. Hmm, New Year¡¯s boring. I feel likezing around.¡±

    Old cat was browsing in the group chat when he shouted, ¡°Wow, take a look. Someone¡¯s celebrating Fish Ball¡¯s birthday in Cat Wondend. Noodles sent out the photographs in the group chat.¡±

    Lightning asked, ¡°Celebrating Fish Ball¡¯s birthday?¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°Didn¡¯t he have a birthdayst month?¡±

    Old Cat was surprised and said, ¡°Wah, a rich female cat¡¯s celebrating Fish Ball¡¯s fifth birthday. She wanted to celebrate his first to fifth birthdays and give him gifts for each birthday.¡±

    The surrounding supercats were shocked. Matcha essed the group chat and scrutinized the pictures and contents.

    ¡°His fifth birthday gift¡¯s 500 000 dors??¡± Matcha was feeling jealous. ¡°The fourth birthday gift was a golden cat litter?!¡±

    His expression became distorted as he shared the contents with his good friend, the Cat King of the West, Li Li...

    ¡°I feel much better.¡±

    Old Cat shouted out in shock, ¡°Wah! Li Li¡¯s going to Cat Wondend!¡±

    ¡°Wah, she charged into the birthday party!¡±

    ¡°Wah! Fish Ball¡¯s leg was fractured!¡±

    As the cats were watching Noodle¡¯s group chat intensely, the room door opened and Roly Poly walked in.

    Matcha red, gritted his teeth and straightened his tail as he shouted, ¡°This is the territory of the Royal Cat Guards. Why are you here?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not here to look for a fight.¡± Roly Poly slumped on the sofa and curled up his body. ¡°Oh, this year¡¯s bad. The Royal Cat Police Force¡¯ annual meeting will be held at the street crossing¡¯s food stalls.¡±

    Matcha¡¯s mind shed with the images of the cats eating at the food stalls and frowned. ¡°That bad?¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡± Roly Poly said, ¡°Do you know how fierce thepetition is among the supercats? The aliens cats areing in throes to work on Earth to repay their debt to Zhao Yao. Jianghai¡¯s catmint bar, cafe and majorpanies are all employing alien cats!

    Even the alien cats are more popr in the Cat Wondend! It¡¯s getting harder for locals to find work!¡±

    Roly Poly sighed. ¡°An otaku cat like you doesn¡¯t understand the hardship of the working cats.¡±

    ¡°Er...¡± Matcha recalled how he survived on the streets with Yellow Mud. ¡°It¡¯s alright. I feel it¡¯s pretty easy to survive on the streets. There are food and drinks every day.¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you have the backing of Zhao Yao? Even if you don¡¯t work, you could just borrow from the small loan tforms. Would the owners dare to ask you for money?¡±

    ¡°There aren¡¯t any more small loan tforms...¡± Roly Poly sighed. ¡°Before Zhao Yao left to fight monsters in others, he squeezed dry all the small loans tforms.¡±

    Matcha was speechless.

    The door was opened again and Dust Ball walked in dejectedly.

    ¡°Oh, the year¡¯s bad.¡± Dust Ball looked at Matcha and said, ¡°Matcha! Help the little kittens. Buy some Dust Ball catmint.¡±

    ¡°Catmint¡¯s not selling?¡± Matcha was surprised. ¡°Are you sure?¡±

    Dust Ball vented her frustration and said, ¡°Well, with such a high volume, even if the entire Extradimensional Belly was used to get all cats to produce catmint, it would not be sufficient. By using fake products, the quality of catmint drops and there are less customers.¡±

    ¡°I told you that your variety is too limited,¡± Matcha said. ¡°You could sell tiger bone medicated catmint next year and promote healthy catmint.¡±

    Dust Ball was surprised. ¡°Tiger Bone?¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°Of course it¡¯s fake. It¡¯s a gimmick, do you understand? As long as it doesn¡¯t kill the cats, you can brag that your product cures balding, stomach pain, fur shedding, sterilization and mouth inmmation. You can say that the catmint cures all ailments and promotes longevity.¡±

    Dust Ball asked in doubt, ¡°What if we¡¯re exposed?¡±

    Matcha patted his chest and said, ¡°What¡¯s there to be afraid of? I¡¯ll use Zhao Yao¡¯s Wechat to call the police and arrest those who expose us.¡±

    ¡°Tiger bone...¡± Latte said softly. ¡°Salmon¡¯s better. I would like to eat canned salmon.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll consider it.¡± Dust Ball nodded while in deep thoughts. Sheined, ¡°Well, I have to pay all my supercat workers social security. They don¡¯t ept cash and they aren¡¯t keen on working. I asked Red Packet to work overtime and he resigned. Now, he¡¯s staying at home daily while collecting rent on 30 houses...¡±

    Matcha was shocked. ¡°Red Packet¡¯s that rich?! How did he do that? 30 houses, he must be enjoying himself.¡± Matcha started imagining the life of Red Packet.

    ...

    In arge t within the city center, Red Packet held an ¡¯82 can while he stroked the female cat at his side and smiled. ¡°In the year of 1982, because of good sunshine, the temperature rose and created warm ocean currents. The sardines were especially excited and the amount of swimming increased. Hence, the sardines were extremely delicious. Try it.¡±

    ...

    As Matcha was fantasizing about Red Packet¡¯s life...

    Pom...

    Elizabeth opened the door and Diana, Caesar and Catherine were behind her.

    ¡°This year¡¯s bad.¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°What happened?¡±

    Elizabeth said angrily, ¡°Humans are foolish animals!¡±

    Diana said, ¡°My fans were reduced to half the number!! Because Zhao Yao refused to pay taxes! We owed 8 billions in taxes!¡±

    ¡°Zhao Yao¡¯s not paying taxes...¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°Scoundrel! How could he do such a thing that goes against the core values of our society?¡±

    He turned his head and looked at the cats as he said, ¡°Remember to pay taxes for the new year! Whoever evades taxes, refuses to obey the country¡¯sw and societal obligations. I¡¯ll cut down their entire family!¡±

    Catherine said, ¡°Not only do we have this problem, there¡¯s also the 110 feline girls who stole quite a number of our fans.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s frustrating!¡± Caesar mmed his paw on the ground. ¡°They have ears and breasts. We can¡¯tpete with them!¡±

    Elizabeth said dejectedly, ¡°Men are all bad. They like sexy girls.¡±

    ¡°Er?¡± Latte said softly, ¡°Who can help me open the salmon can?¡±

    The supercats shared their woes and hardships of their new year.

    Matcha noticed his Wechat notification.

    ¡°Zhao Yao, I¡¯m Xiaoming! Recently the mobile and bicycle rentalpanies I¡¯ve invested in are having cash flow issues. I got to know a boss who developed electric cars in America. Do you want to invest?¡±

    Matcha remembered he was using Zhao Yao¡¯s Wechat ount, he silently cklisted Xiao Ming.

    Pom!

    The door was knocked open as Milk Tea ran in and said in panic, ¡°Bad news! The vines that we were injected with are having problems!¡±

    Lightning said, ¡°What?!¡±

    Milk Tea said, ¡°They¡¯re fake vines!¡±

    Matcha said, ¡°That¡¯s despicable! They¡¯re even fooling cats!¡±

    Latte shivered and said, ¡°Are we going for another injection?¡±

    Milk Tea said, ¡°It¡¯s alright, I¡¯ve made arrangements with the veterinarian hospital for another injection after the New Year¡¯s celebration.¡±

    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s good to have the injection after the celebration.¡± Latte heaved in relief and shouted, ¡°Who¡¯s helping me to open this can of salmon? I can¡¯t open it.¡±

    Hearing about the fake vine, the cats were even more sombre.

    The door opened with a bang and Bai Quan walked in.

    Matcha was indifferent as he said, ¡°What¡¯s the problem this time...¡±

    Bai Quan said to Airne, ¡°Airne! Did you force yourself on a female cat when we went to America for a tour?¡±

    ¡°No... I didn¡¯t...¡± Airne quickly exined, ¡°She heard I¡¯m Zhao Yao¡¯s cat and she approached me first!¡±

    Bai Quan squinted his eyes and said, ¡°She¡¯s filing a suit against you. The Americans have an anti-harassment of cats¡¯ movement. If this case blows up, it¡¯ll affect Cat Wondend¡¯s investments. We have to go to America to attend the court case in the next two days.¡±

    ¡°If we¡¯ve to pay damages, it¡¯ll be deducted from your sry.¡±

    Airne was indignant.

    ¡°Oh, well,¡± Matcha sighed. ¡°The days are getting harder.¡±

    ¡°Hmm.¡± Roly Poly said, ¡°Even cat grass and cat medicine are fake. Times are getting unbearable.¡±

    Dust Ball said, ¡°New Year¡¯s boring.¡±

    Latte said, ¡°Who¡¯s going to help me open my can of salmon? I¡¯m angry!¡±

    A huge hand extended out from the thin air and put an opened can of salmon in front of Latte.

    Another palm rested on Matcha¡¯s head and cuddled him vigorously.

    ¡°Are you obedient at home?¡±

    Seeing the human figure, the cats rushed forth as their excited meowing filled the entire room.

    ¡°Zhao Yao!¡± Matcha scraped against Zhao Yao¡¯s huge hands. ¡°You¡¯re back! Aren¡¯t you fighting the monsters on the others?¡±

    ¡°I had toe back for the New Year.¡± Zhao Yao smiled as he stroked Elizabeth¡¯s chin. Lightning, Roly Poly and Diana came forward and stood on their hind legs. Some rested their paws on Zhao Yao¡¯s legs and lifted their heads for him to stroke their chins.

    Roly Poly said, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao! Stroke me! Stroke me too!¡±

    Elizabeth said, ¡°Zhao Yao! Hug me!¡±

    Diana said, ¡°Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao! You haven¡¯tbed my fur for a long time!¡±

    The cats stacked onto Zhao Yao¡¯s body. The sombre mood was lifted in an instant.

    Bai Quan sat on the sofa and smiled as he watched the cats surround Zhao Yao.

    ¡°Although there have been hardships, problems, quarrels and fights, everyone wants to be with their loved ones during the New Year. As long as everyone¡¯s together, all problems can be solved.¡±

    Zhao Yao surveyed the environment and quivered his ears. He looked at Bai Quan and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s Zhao Xue and my parents? They¡¯re not here?¡±

    ¡°Zhao Xue...¡± Cold sweat broke out on Bai Quan¡¯s head as he said with hesitation, ¡°She brought your parents to Las Vegas for a tour...¡±

    ¡°Las Vegas for a tour?¡± Zhao Yao scoffed and said, ¡°She went there to get rich. Who dares to give her money? She even brought our parents to gamble. She¡¯s incorrigible.¡±

    Half an hourter, Zhao Xue was pulled out from the Dimension Portal. She knelt on the ground and hugged Zhao Yao¡¯s leg. ¡°Brother! Your sister¡¯s poor! I¡¯m at my wits¡¯ end so I came up with this idea!¡±

    ¡°Your pocket money¡¯s 50 000 dors every month, isn¡¯t it enough? When I was your age, I¡¯m still eating cup noodles. I¡¯ve built up my career and business empire within these few years based on my hard work. Why don¡¯t you take a page from me?¡±

    Zhao Xue pondered and transformed into a feline girl. She pointed at her cat ears and said, ¡°I¡¯ll let you touch my ears. Don¡¯t be angry with me.¡±

    ¡°What do you take me for? That I¡¯ll be happy touching your ears?!¡± Zhao Yao red at her and scraped her ears yfully. ¡°Reflect on your mistakes! You¡¯ll stay at home for half a year!¡±

    Zhao Xue widened her eyes happily. ¡°Really?¡±

    ¡°And, no ying with your cell phone.¡±

    Zhao Xue¡¯s face grew red.

    Zhao Yao¡¯s mum walked out and said, ¡°Enough of chiding Zhao Xue. Come and have the reunion dinner. You can chide her after the meal.¡±

    Zhao Xue¡¯s face grew red.

    Milk Tea helped to serve the cat meals. ¡°Reunion dinner!¡±

    The cats rushed to the dining table, together with Zhao Yao¡¯s parents, Zhao Xue, Zhao Yao and Bai Quan.

    Matcha binged on his cat meal and wagged his tail. ¡°Today¡¯s cat meal is delicious!¡±

    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Indeed, I¡¯ve added some alien materials from the Long Fur Tribe. The cats there liked it too.¡±

    Mango dragged his meal bowl over and scraped his head against Zhao Yao¡¯s ankle before squatting down underneath Zhao Yao¡¯s leg to eat.

    Latte said, ¡°Wah! It tastes as delicious as my cans of salmon!¡±

    Milk Tea said, ¡°Latte! Don¡¯t gobble your food that fast! Remember how you vomited out the foodst time!¡±

    Elizabeth chewed on her meal and thought, ¡°The meal¡¯s especially fragrant.¡±

    Fish Ball opened the door and climbed in warily.

    Ares said, ¡°Oh, Fish Ball, you¡¯re here. Isn¡¯t your leg broken?¡±

    ¡°Of course it¡¯s fake.¡± Fish Ball said, ¡°I¡¯ll join you for this year¡¯s reunion dinner.¡±

    Lightning greeted him and said, ¡°Come, Fish Ball, sit over here and join us for the meal!¡±

    Dust Ball scoffed and said, ¡°Humph, scumbag.¡±

    ¡°Hello, Xiao Yu?¡± Zhao Yao picked up the cell phone and nced at Fish Ball as he nodded. ¡°Hmm, it¡¯s alright. He¡¯s here. I¡¯ll pay you a visit in the next two days. Happy New Year.¡±

    Chapter 1125: ExtraTrantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

    "Greetings, do you have anyments regarding the game?"

    "I feel that the skill design''s illogical. For example, Lu Ban 7''s bullets, why are they ineffective when they hit other people?"

    "Er¡­ you''re saying¡­"

    "Once targets are hit by bullets shouldn''t they have reduced speed? Wouldn''t they fall to the ground and bleed?"

    "As Lu Ban 7 is a robot, even if he is shed by weapons, it''s perfectly logical if he doesn''t die."

    "As a robot, he can repair himself. Isn''t it reasonable for him to heal himself?"

    "This¡­"

    "These are my opinions. I hope that you''ll consider them carefully. If the game bes more logical, I''ll help promote the new game version.

    Matcha was on the sofa typing hisst sentence. He retracted his paw and licked the meat pad as he thought, "I''m using Zhao Yao''s Wechat ount to give suggestions. Hope that they''ll consider them seriously. Mobile Legend''s too out of bnce. It''s impossible to y without a proper revision."

    Latte looked in surprise at Matcha as he said, "Dad, you''re able to make them revise Mobile Legends?"

    "Revising Mobile Legends?" Matcha pped his cell phone as he said, "This is Zhao Yao''s Wechat ount. If I type with this paw, I''ll be able to change the world in an instant.

    "Ah!!!!!!" Latte looked astonished at Matcha as his orange fur stood on end.

    Matchaughed arrogantly as he stroked Latte''s head and said, "Do you realize how powerful your dad is?"

    On the other end of the sofa, Lightning tossed around and gazed at Matcha and Latte as he thought, "That fellow''s sweet-talking his son again. Hmm, New Year''s boring. I feel likezing around."

    Old cat was browsing in the group chat when he shouted, "Wow, take a look. Someone''s celebrating Fish Ball''s birthday in Cat Wondend. Noodles sent out the photographs in the group chat."

    Lightning asked, "Celebrating Fish Ball''s birthday?"

    Matcha said, "Didn''t he have a birthdayst month?"

    Old Cat was surprised and said, "Wah, a rich female cat''s celebrating Fish Ball''s fifth birthday. She wanted to celebrate his first to fifth birthdays and give him gifts for each birthday."

    The surrounding supercats were shocked. Matcha essed the group chat and scrutinized the pictures and contents.

    "His fifth birthday gift''s 500 000 dors??" Matcha was feeling jealous. "The fourth birthday gift was a golden cat litter?!"

    His expression became distorted as he shared the contents with his good friend, the Cat King of the West, Li Li¡­

    "I feel much better."

    Old Cat shouted out in shock, "Wah! Li Li''s going to Cat Wondend!"

    "Wah, she charged into the birthday party!"

    "Wah! Fish Ball''s leg was fractured!"

    As the cats were watching Noodle''s group chat intensely, the room door opened and Roly Poly walked in.

    Matcha red, gritted his teeth and straightened his tail as he shouted, "This is the territory of the Royal Cat Guards. Why are you here?"

    "Don''t worry, I''m not here to look for a fight." Roly Poly slumped on the sofa and curled up his body. "Oh, this year''s bad. The Royal Cat Police Force'' annual meeting will be held at the street crossing''s food stalls."

    Matcha''s mind shed with the images of the cats eating at the food stalls and frowned. "That bad?"

    "Of course!" Roly Poly said, "Do you know how fierce thepetition is among the supercats? The aliens cats areing in throes to work on Earth to repay their debt to Zhao Yao. Jianghai''s catmint bar, cafe and majorpanies are all employing alien cats!

    Even the alien cats are more popr in the Cat Wondend! It''s getting harder for locals to find work!"

    Roly Poly sighed. "An otaku cat like you doesn''t understand the hardship of the working cats."

    "Er¡­" Matcha recalled how he survived on the streets with Yellow Mud. "It''s alright. I feel it''s pretty easy to survive on the streets. There are food and drinks every day."

    "Didn''t you have the backing of Zhao Yao? Even if you don''t work, you could just borrow from the small loan tforms. Would the owners dare to ask you for money?"

    "There aren''t any more small loan tforms¡­" Roly Poly sighed. "Before Zhao Yao left to fight monsters in others, he squeezed dry all the small loans tforms."

    Matcha was speechless.

    The door was opened again and Dust Ball walked in dejectedly.

    "Oh, the year''s bad." Dust Ball looked at Matcha and said, "Matcha! Help the little kittens. Buy some Dust Ball catmint."

    "Catmint''s not selling?" Matcha was surprised. "Are you sure?"

    Dust Ball vented her frustration and said, "Well, with such a high volume, even if the entire Extradimensional Belly was used to get all cats to produce catmint, it would not be sufficient. By using fake products, the quality of catmint drops and there are less customers."

    "I told you that your variety is too limited," Matcha said. "You could sell tiger bone medicated catmint next year and promote healthy catmint."

    Dust Ball was surprised. "Tiger Bone?"

    Matcha said, "Of course it''s fake. It''s a gimmick, do you understand? As long as it doesn''t kill the cats, you can brag that your product cures balding, stomach pain, fur shedding, sterilization and mouth inmmation. You can say that the catmint cures all ailments and promotes longevity."

    Dust Ball asked in doubt, "What if we''re exposed?"

    Matcha patted his chest and said, "What''s there to be afraid of? I''ll use Zhao Yao''s Wechat to call the police and arrest those who expose us."

    "Tiger bone¡­" Latte said softly. "Salmon''s better. I would like to eat canned salmon."

    "I''ll consider it." Dust Ball nodded while in deep thoughts. Sheined, "Well, I have to pay all my supercat workers social security. They don''t ept cash and they aren''t keen on working. I asked Red Packet to work overtime and he resigned. Now, he''s staying at home daily while collecting rent on 30 houses¡­"

    Matcha was shocked. "Red Packet''s that rich?! How did he do that? 30 houses, he must be enjoying himself." Matcha started imagining the life of Red Packet.

    ¡­

    In arge t within the city center, Red Packet held an ''82 can while he stroked the female cat at his side and smiled. "In the year of 1982, because of good sunshine, the temperature rose and created warm ocean currents. The sardines were especially excited and the amount of swimming increased. Hence, the sardines were extremely delicious. Try it."

    ¡­

    As Matcha was fantasizing about Red Packet''s life¡­

    Pom¡­

    Elizabeth opened the door and Diana, Caesar and Catherine were behind her.

    "This year''s bad."

    Matcha said, "What happened?"

    Elizabeth said angrily, "Humans are foolish animals!"

    Diana said, "My fans were reduced to half the number!! Because Zhao Yao refused to pay taxes! We owed 8 billions in taxes!"

    "Zhao Yao''s not paying taxes¡­"

    Matcha said, "Scoundrel! How could he do such a thing that goes against the core values of our society?"

    He turned his head and looked at the cats as he said, "Remember to pay taxes for the new year! Whoever evades taxes, refuses to obey the country''sw and societal obligations. I''ll cut down their entire family!"

    Catherine said, "Not only do we have this problem, there''s also the 110 feline girls who stole quite a number of our fans."

    "It''s frustrating!" Caesar mmed his paw on the ground. "They have ears and breasts. We can''tpete with them!"

    Elizabeth said dejectedly, "Men are all bad. They like sexy girls."

    "Er?" Latte said softly, "Who can help me open the salmon can?"

    The supercats shared their woes and hardships of their new year.

    Matcha noticed his Wechat notification.

    "Zhao Yao, I''m Xiaoming! Recently the mobile and bicycle rentalpanies I''ve invested in are having cash flow issues. I got to know a boss who developed electric cars in America. Do you want to invest?"

    Matcha remembered he was using Zhao Yao''s Wechat ount, he silently cklisted Xiao Ming.

    Pom!

    The door was knocked open as Milk Tea ran in and said in panic, "Bad news! The vines that we were injected with are having problems!"

    Lightning said, "What?!"

    Milk Tea said, "They''re fake vines!"

    Matcha said, "That''s despicable! They''re even fooling cats!"

    Latte shivered and said, "Are we going for another injection?"

    Milk Tea said, "It''s alright, I''ve made arrangements with the veterinarian hospital for another injection after the New Year''s celebration."

    "Yes, it''s good to have the injection after the celebration." Latte heaved in relief and shouted, "Who''s helping me to open this can of salmon? I can''t open it."

    Hearing about the fake vine, the cats were even more sombre.

    The door opened with a bang and Bai Quan walked in.

    Matcha was indifferent as he said, "What''s the problem this time¡­"

    Bai Quan said to Airne, "Airne! Did you force yourself on a female cat when we went to America for a tour?"

    "No¡­ I didn''t¡­" Airne quickly exined, "She heard I''m Zhao Yao''s cat and she approached me first!"

    Bai Quan squinted his eyes and said, "She''s filing a suit against you. The Americans have an anti-harassment of cats'' movement. If this case blows up, it''ll affect Cat Wondend''s investments. We have to go to America to attend the court case in the next two days."

    "If we''ve to pay damages, it''ll be deducted from your sry."

    Airne was indignant.

    "Oh, well," Matcha sighed. "The days are getting harder."

    "Hmm." Roly Poly said, "Even cat grass and cat medicine are fake. Times are getting unbearable."

    Dust Ball said, "New Year''s boring."

    Latte said, "Who''s going to help me open my can of salmon? I''m angry!"

    A huge hand extended out from the thin air and put an opened can of salmon in front of Latte.

    Another palm rested on Matcha''s head and cuddled him vigorously.

    "Are you obedient at home?"

    Seeing the human figure, the cats rushed forth as their excited meowing filled the entire room.

    "Zhao Yao!" Matcha scraped against Zhao Yao''s huge hands. "You''re back! Aren''t you fighting the monsters on the others?"

    "I had toe back for the New Year." Zhao Yao smiled as he stroked Elizabeth''s chin. Lightning, Roly Poly and Diana came forward and stood on their hind legs. Some rested their paws on Zhao Yao''s legs and lifted their heads for him to stroke their chins.

    Roly Poly said, "Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao! Stroke me! Stroke me too!"

    Elizabeth said, "Zhao Yao! Hug me!"

    Diana said, "Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao! You haven''tbed my fur for a long time!"

    The cats stacked onto Zhao Yao''s body. The sombre mood was lifted in an instant.

    Bai Quan sat on the sofa and smiled as he watched the cats surround Zhao Yao.

    "Although there have been hardships, problems, quarrels and fights, everyone wants to be with their loved ones during the New Year. As long as everyone''s together, all problems can be solved."

    Zhao Yao surveyed the environment and quivered his ears. He looked at Bai Quan and asked, "Where''s Zhao Xue and my parents? They''re not here?"

    "Zhao Xue¡­" Cold sweat broke out on Bai Quan''s head as he said with hesitation, "She brought your parents to Las Vegas for a tour¡­"

    "Las Vegas for a tour?" Zhao Yao scoffed and said, "She went there to get rich. Who dares to give her money? She even brought our parents to gamble. She''s incorrigible."

    Half an hourter, Zhao Xue was pulled out from the Dimension Portal. She knelt on the ground and hugged Zhao Yao''s leg. "Brother! Your sister''s poor! I''m at my wits'' end so I came up with this idea!"

    "Your pocket money''s 50 000 dors every month, isn''t it enough? When I was your age, I''m still eating cup noodles. I''ve built up my career and business empire within these few years based on my hard work. Why don''t you take a page from me?"

    Zhao Xue pondered and transformed into a feline girl. She pointed at her cat ears and said, "I''ll let you touch my ears. Don''t be angry with me."

    "What do you take me for? That I''ll be happy touching your ears?!" Zhao Yao red at her and scraped her ears yfully. "Reflect on your mistakes! You''ll stay at home for half a year!"

    Zhao Xue widened her eyes happily. "Really?"

    "And, no ying with your cell phone."

    Zhao Xue''s face grew red.

    Zhao Yao''s mum walked out and said, "Enough of chiding Zhao Xue. Come and have the reunion dinner. You can chide her after the meal."

    Zhao Xue''s face grew red.

    Milk Tea helped to serve the cat meals. "Reunion dinner!"

    The cats rushed to the dining table, together with Zhao Yao''s parents, Zhao Xue, Zhao Yao and Bai Quan.

    Matcha binged on his cat meal and wagged his tail. "Today''s cat meal is delicious!"

    Zhao Yao said, "Indeed, I''ve added some alien materials from the Long Fur Tribe. The cats there liked it too."

    Mango dragged his meal bowl over and scraped his head against Zhao Yao''s ankle before squatting down underneath Zhao Yao''s leg to eat.

    Latte said, "Wah! It tastes as delicious as my cans of salmon!"

    Milk Tea said, "Latte! Don''t gobble your food that fast! Remember how you vomited out the foodst time!"

    Elizabeth chewed on her meal and thought, "The meal''s especially fragrant."

    Fish Ball opened the door and climbed in warily.

    Ares said, "Oh, Fish Ball, you''re here. Isn''t your leg broken?"

    "Of course it''s fake." Fish Ball said, "I''ll join you for this year''s reunion dinner."

    Lightning greeted him and said, "Come, Fish Ball, sit over here and join us for the meal!"

    Dust Ball scoffed and said, "Humph, scumbag."

    "Hello, Xiao Yu?" Zhao Yao picked up the cell phone and nced at Fish Ball as he nodded. "Hmm, it''s alright. He''s here. I''ll pay you a visit in the next two days. Happy New Year."

    After Zhao Yao hung up the phone, when everyone was enjoying their meal, Zhao Yao smiled and raised his tea cup. "Everyone, Happy New Year!"

    "Happy New Year!!"
